Vandalism won’t stop Reynolds’ environmental efforts Kyle Slavin News staff

The Reynolds secondary teacher that helps co-ordinate the school’s environmental initiatives says last week’s vandalism that saw 14 solar panels smashed won’t deter students from continuing on with ‘green’ projects. “We’re very saddened by the fact that someone would want to damage our solar panels … but we had an awesome start to the school year and the tone and culture is carrying on past that,” said leadership teacher Heather Coey. “The solar panels are a good education model of using alternative energy, and that’s something we want to continue promoting here. We know (this vandalism) is not going to damage our green initiatives and our tone and culture here at the school.” Fourteen solar panels and 15 windows were smashed at Reynolds last Wednesday night or Thursday morning. Saanich police say a vandal or vandals threw baseball-sized pieces of concrete taken from a nearby lumber yard through west-facing windows of the school. They then made their way onto the roof and damaged 14 solar panels. “It’s not uncommon for us to be investigating vandalism at schools,” said Sgt. Steve Eassie. “But solar panels are taking it a step above and beyond.” PlEASE SEE: Police hunting, Page A4

What not to recycle Missile launcher found at Hartland landfill

The Capital Regional District has an online tool (myrecyclopedia.ca) that provides information on how to recycle unconventional items – but it has its limitations. If you want to dispose of a rocket launcher, for example, your search comes up empty. So Saanich police are telling the public that throwing a rocket launcher in a recycling bin at the landfill is not the way to get rid of military weaponry, after somebody did just that

last week. On Wednesday (Sept. 4) Hartland staff discovered the weapon in a bin at the dump. “Their concern was that it may be usable,” said Sgt. Steve Eassie. “At this point it is inert, it is no longer housing what was once a rocket inside the missile launcher.” Police surmise that the “Guided Missile System, Intercept,” which is roughly four feet long and weighs under 10 pounds, would have likely been used by the U.S. military from land to take down an aircraft in the 1960s or ‘70s. It was designed to be fired only once, according to police. “It would’ve been used and disposed of. It was likely retrieved (after being fired) and kept by someone as a souvenir,” Eassie said. It appears as if the weapon was modified

to be hung on display, but it was no longer wanted and was discarded at the landfill. “They could’ve disposed of it in a more appropriate manner,” Eassie said. “Should someone have equipment such as this in a collection at home, including other weapons that may have been rendered inoperable, the best course of action ... is to contact the police department, and ask that they be surrendered for destruction.” It’s not illegal to possess what he simply called “wartime memorabilia.” Eassie is not sure whether police will destroy the rocket launcher, or if it will be turned over to the Department of National Defence to destroy, but he says it won’t wind up in another recycling bin. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Police track down wanted Saanich man Kyle Slavin News staff

A wanted man who Saanich police had been looking for since Aug. 20 was arrested early Saturday morning with the assistance of two canine units. Saanich police were called about a serious single-vehicle crash just after 11 p.m on Friday (Sept. 6) from a resident near Petworth and Kerryview drives near Prospect Lake. The car left the road, struck a rock face and flipped onto its side. Minutes later, police were called by another area resident who said someone was ringing her doorbell and banging on her front door. The woman told police she was the victim of a domestic violence incident on Aug. 20 that resulted in police asking for the public's assistance in locating her boyfriend, who had yet to be found. Canine units from both Saanich and Victoria police attended the rural property. Officers were searching for the man in parked vehicles on the property, when they heard a noise coming from an RV. The suspect was located hiding on the roof of the vehicle and was arrested without incident. Greig Fredrik Wikoren, 44, was wanted by police since Aug. 20 on allegations of domestic violence. "This is a fabulous find for us, considering the number of attempts we've made to locate this individual. ... He had ample opportunities to turn himself in," said Sgt. Steve Eassie. Eassie said items belonging to Wikoren were located inside the car that flipped. Wikoren was expected to appear in court on Monday to face multiple breachrelated charges. kslavin@saanichnews.com ga

Breathing new life into ocean research Google executive’s foundation funds UVic project Edward Hill News staff

Not long after Eric Schmidt spent $60 million outfitting a ship with the latest high-tech gear for marine science, Ocean Networks Canada fell onto his radar. Perhaps the executive chairman of Google googled the University of Victoria’s research agency. Two years later, an 18-person scientific team from ONC has set sail from Ogden Point on the R/V Falkor to study low oxygen zones in the Saanich Inlet and the Salish Sea. The ship time is funded entirely by Schmidt’s foundation, the Schmidt Ocean Institute. “This is a unique opportunity. Most research vessels are linked with universities or governments,” says Richard Dewey, assistant director, science with Ocean Networks Canada. “This foundation has an open mandate ... this ship gives us free run to direct the science and do what we want to do.” For the next two weeks, ONC scientists will explore the ecosystems of naturally occurring low oxygen zones in the Saanich Inlet as part of a broader study to understand how low-oxygen water flows from the deep Pacific Ocean into the seas surrounding southern Vancouver Island. Among other tools, they’ll be employing ROPOS, a high-tech remotely operated vehicle, a kind of underwater robot, created by Canadian Scientific Submersible Facility based in North Saanich. Research teams from UVic and other Canadian universities will use multiple high-resolution video cameras on the boxy yellow machine to take a fine-grain look at how life survives in the inlet. “(We) will do two dives with ROPOS to explore cliff walls some 200 metres in depth, looking at organisms in low oxygen waters,” said Kim Juniper, science director of ONC. “We want to capture the biodiversity between high oxygen and low oxygen zones.” The Falkor is an 83-metre former German fishing boat refitted with modern laboratories, advanced

Technician Peter Milne prepares the ROPOS remotely operated vehicle aboard the R/V Falkor at Ogden Point on Thursday. UVic’s Ocean Networks Canada is conducting a month of offshore scientific research using the Falkor, a research ship funded by the Schmidt Ocean Institute, a non-profit created by Eric Schmidt, the executive chairman of Google, and his wife Wendy. sonar mapping capabilities, polished lounges, and a giant QR code on the side of a lifeboat box that link’s to the Schmidt Ocean Institute website. Jackson Chu, a UVic PhD student in marine biology and a veteran of offshore research, plans to study fish species that thrive in low oxygen ocean water. Unlike everything else on the ship, catching fish remains low-tech – he plans to use a small net. “This is pretty awesome. It’s the nicest most luxurious ship I’ve seen,” Chu said. “It’s very technically advanced with all its integrated systems.” Two years ago, Schmidt Ocean Institute approached ONC and suggested it submit a research proposal. “They were looking for something to do with this vessel,” Juniper said. “I’m told Eric Schmidt went online and said ‘These people look interesting. Go see them.’” Victor Zykov, director of research for Schmidt Ocean Institute, said ONC caught the insti-

tute’s attention due to its Neptune and Venus underwater observatories. Neptune’s 800 kilometre loop of instruments monitors the Pacific Ocean off southern Vancouver Island, and Venus has 40 km of cable in the Strait of Georgia. Both feed near-real time oceanographic data through the Internet, free and open to anyone. The information is used to study everything from whales to tectonic plates. “(Neptune and Venus) were very attractive to us for the example of effectively using technology, and engaging the global community of why the oceans are so important,” Zykov said. Schmidt Ocean Institute pays the cost of operating the ship, about $60,000 per day using the ROPOS system, and $40,000 per day for the mapping surveys. The basis of ONC’s project is to understand how water low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide (i.e. acidic water) migrates from the deep Pacific Ocean to the

continental shelf, into the Strait of Juan de Fuca and beyond, a phenomenon which can stress and kill fish and shellfish. ONC scientists spent the past two weeks surveying properties of water layers across the Neptune network to construct a complete picture of how sub-surface currents flow in and around Vancouver Island. “Our main goal was to find the pathways of the low oxygen water. Our suspected path was a dud. The main path is through Barkley Canyon, where fortunately we have Neptune,” Juniper said. “Turns out we’ve got the network in just the right place.” Juniper hopes this project will allow ONC to create tools to forecast the movement and inflow of low oxygen water around Vancouver Island. The work will also add to the growing body of research on ocean acidification and the growth of ocean “dead zones.” See real time video feeds from ROPOS until Sept. 18 at oceannetworks.ca/cruise13.

Solar panels atop Reynolds secondary school were damaged overnight last Wednesday or Thursday. Fourteen windows in the school were also smashed. school, taking “two classrooms off the grid,” Howley said. They were also used as an educational tool. Police are asking residents – especially youth – to keep an eye or an ear out for any information. “If anyone finds information, they see somebody bragging about it on Facebook, please forward us that information. There are ways to take a screenshot and forward that information directly to us,” he said. “If somebody sees something, or hears someone talking about it, please contact us.” Police are asking anyone with information to call 250-475-4321. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Police don’t have any suspects and are unsure when exactly the vandalism occurred. No reports of breaking glass or suspicious people in the area around Borden Street came in that night. Custodians discovered the damage around 6:30 a.m. on Thursday. The cost of all the damage is still unknown, but Seamus Howley, the school district’s director of facilities, says the window replacing will cost $2,000, and the solar panels, which the school won through an environmental grant, were valued at $26,000 including installation. Coey hopes insurance should cover the cost of replacing the solar panels. “The cost of repairing vandalism takes away from the education of students. This is a needless waste of limited resources that school districts have to put into the classrooms,” Howley said. He said the district spends up to $200,000 each year on vandalismrelated expenses at Greater Victoria schools, including replacing windows, removing graffiti and repairing damaged sports fields. In June 2010, 96 windows at Mount Douglas secondary were smashed by vandals. Those windows were replaced at a cost of $10,000. Howley says that’s the single-largest vandalism-related event he’s seen at a school. The solar panels were used to help reduce heating costs at the

Youth council seeks members Kyle Slavin News staff

Saanich is looking for a few good boys and girls who have a passion for their community. The Saanich Youth Council is now seeking young members to sit on the 2013-14 council, where members will make decisions that will have an impact on their community. “It’s a very self-directed group of young people. They’ll get together at the beginning of the year and decide what their priorities are as a group based on their passions and interests,” said Alana Stewart, Saanich Youth Council co-ordinator. “Then they make a plan for the year and they try to get it done. … It’s always really exciting to see what they come up with, what they’re going to do this year.” Last year’s Saanich Youth Council sponsored the creation of a community engagement website with Camosun College’s computer systems technology students, and the council undertook a youth participation survey involving Camosun and UVic students.

“One thing that’s really enticing to me is when you want to see change, it’s a lot more formidable when you deal with it directly. It’s really exciting to work on a project with the local community and get it done,” said Oliver Tennant, 21, a member of the youth council. “We like to be inclusive, we want people from all different backgrounds who have different thoughts and wants. That’s really important to us. That way you get the real wants and desires of the youth of today,” he said of the new recruits they hope to acquire. The time commitment for being on the Saanich Youth Council isn’t overly onerous, Stewart said. There groups gathers a couple times a month for meeting, plus some time is required to work on the projects, so eight to 10 hours per month is the minimum commitment. “At the beginning of the year we commit to the group and to each other to just work hard through the year, do some positive work and have fun,” Stewart said. “Municipal politics can be boring for youth, so if we can get away from the tradi-

tional ways of engaging with them, I think there’s something to be said for being able to bring youth to the table.” In addition to self-directed projects, members of the youth council have the opportunity to sit on Saanich advisory committees, providing a youth perspective on issues that will go before Saanich council. “An organization that has a youth voice integrated into its core being

Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

Your School-age Child’s Eyes A good education for your child includes good schools, good teachers and good vision. Your child’s eyes are constantly in use in the classroom and at play. When his or her vision is not functioning properly, learning and participation in recreational activities will suffer. The following are the basic vision skills used at school: Near vision: The ability to see clearly and comfortably at 10-13 inches. Distance vision: the ability to see clearly and comfortably at arm’s reach and beyond. Binocular coordination: The ability to use both eyes together. Eye movement skills: The ability to aim the eyes accurately, move them smoothly across a page and shift them quickly and accurately from one object to another. Focusing skills: The ability to keep both eyes accurately focused at the proper distance to see clearly and to change focus quickly. Peripheral awareness: The ability to be aware of things located to the side while looking straight ahead. Eye/hand coordination: The ability to use the eyes and hands together. Disruption to any one of the above skills will cause your child’s eyes to work harder. This can lead to headaches, fatigue and other eyestrain related problems.

Members of the community will be celebrating life with hope this week, as the Walk for ALS encourages friends and family to strut together on Sept. 15. ALS – amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease – destroys the voluntary muscles of the body, is always fatal, and has no cure. “This walk is important, as it raises awareness in the community and brings together friends and family to work towards a cure,” said Adele Fraser, a co-ordinator for the local walk. “This is a really important chance to celebrate hope, in a situation where, often, people don’t find any.” For many ALS patients, real breakthroughs can take place within their lifetime. However, while people wait for that, Fraser says an emphasis has to be placed on the supports to mentor those adjusting to the stressful new realities of living with a chronic disability. “When someone faces the most frightening diagnosis imaginable, it means so much to know hope is there and that you are not alone,” said Wendy Toyer, executive director of ALS Society of B.C. and Yukon. “I am inspired daily by the courage and tenacity of those we serve.” There are 15 walk locations in B.C. and Yukon, with the local walk happening Sunday, Sept. 15, 11:30 a.m. at the University of Victoria, Parking Lot 6. This year’s B.C. and Yukon goal is to raise more than $600,000. All proceeds will go towards ALS patient services and ALS research. “Most people living with ALS want to help others, and they want to contribute,” said Toyer. “They want to stay active and relevant. This is possible if they have the right support. We can provide this.” Everyone is welcome to join the walk, and there is no registration fee. Register at walkforals.ca. news@mondaymag.com

Firefighters sizzle in calendar

News staff

Firefighters around the city are igniting as much as they’re putting out, as the 2014 Greater Victoria firefighters calendar hits the streets. The calendar, a joint fundraising initiative from the four Greater Victoria professional fire departments – Oak Bay, Esquimalt, Victoria and Saanich – is an effort to raise money for pediatric care through the Victoria Hospitals Foundation. While the 12-month show of fiery men will set donors back $20, proceeds go towards the group’s $250,000 pledge to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Victoria General Hospital. “What drew me into saying yes for being part of the calendar is just my commitment to raising this money,” said Lt. Roger Stewart with the Oak Bay Fire Department. “My own daughter spent time in the NICU when she was born … she is 12 now and it’s an important effort to me.” Stewart, who is featured in October 2014, was one of 24 from around Greater Victoria who volunteered for the project. And while the 2014 and future 2015 calendars still show off shirtless muscles, sculpted with some classic black-andwhite photography, the poses are much “softer,” Stewart said, than the traditional fare.

Oak Bay firefighter Lt. Roger Stewart had a daughter in the neonatal intensive care unit at Victoria General Hospital, which receives funds raised from the firefighter calendar. “In years past, there was this real push to have these manly images with tough faces and action shots. Now, we have more of the firefighters just posing and hanging out, with more smiles and a gentle approach as opposed to a performance.” The calendars started circulating in recent weeks and Stewart said it’s been very humbling to have members of the community recognize him. “I’m not really a shy person, but this really requires you to put yourself out there,” he

said. “It’s easier to do when you focus on the fact that it’s for a good cause.” The 2014 calendar will be available in various locations throughout town, including participating fire halls, Thrifty Foods and London Drugs stores and online. Check out facebook. com/GreaterVictoriaFireFighters Calendar. Firefighters will also be selling the calendar at the Victoria Women’s Show, Sept. 21 and 22, at Pearkes arena. news@mondaymag.com

A 90-day countdown began Monday for a petition drive to force the effective legalization of simple possession of marijuana in B.C. Volunteers for Sensible B.C., led by Dana Larsen, have until Dec. 5 to collect more than 400,000 signatures. The petition to trigger a provincewide referendum needs support from 10 per cent of registered voters in each of B.C.’s 85 electoral districts. Locally, volunteer canvassers will be stationed around Greater Victoria collecting signatures. Sensible B.C. has opened an office at 620 Yates St., where supporters can stop in and sign the petition. Office hours are available on Facebook at Sensible B.C. Victoria.

Code of conduct already in place T

he City of Victoria’s proposed Code of Conduct for councillors, which would extend to advisory committees made up mainly of public citizens, has been criticized as being too broad and a threat to open, honest debate. While the installation of such a code was recommended during past reviews of the city’s operations, there are already guidelines in place to cover off such things as maintaining decorum, showing respect to others and Creating policy process of civic for behaviour sets the government. Robert’s Rules bad precedent of Order, the B.C. Community Charter, and even to a degree, the Local Government Act already give members of publicly elected bodies an outline for keeping things moving in a respectful way. While Vancouver and other jurisdictions in B.C. have put similar codes in place, councils around the Capital Region seem to be getting along fine without one, relying instead on common sense and the tools already in place to handle issues as they arise. Without a doubt other local municipal councils will be watching closely what happens in Victoria. We wonder whether this move is driven by a need to follow recommendations made by outside agencies, as Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin indicates, or intolerance for a fellow councillor’s way of operating at the council table. Regardless, the city can scarcely afford to spend time and funds on creating a program when it has more pressing matters on its plate. The chair of any meeting is expected to keep debate on track and call others out if they stray outside the bounds of proper behaviour. In this case, Fortin would be advised to use the tools at his disposal. If there are continuing problems with decorum or appropriate behaviour, he has every right to use his position to take corrective action. At the very least, a serious conversation between the mayor and any offending individual would go further than a needless policy. What do you think?

Saanich is home to the University of Victoria, a community of 25,000 people that needs water and sewer service, as well as police and fire protection.

LETTERS Anti-union column a good argument for unions Re: Back-to-school labour woes (B.C. Views, Sept. 4) Tom Fletcher’s column accurately demonstrates the merits of a union. CUPE has successfully obtained a long list of benefits for their members including a starting wage of $17.50/hour with monetary compensation for overtime and additional qualifications. In addition the employees have secured a pension, a benefits package and paid holidays. The growing gap between public and private employee wages and benefits can only be closed if private workers accept that the only reasonable solution is to unionize. While big box stores continue to pay minimum wage and offer no or few benefits it is a mystery why more people don’t take the time to read such convincing articles as Mr. Fletcher’s and recognize the benefits of a union. The likes of Wal-Mart and McDonald’s don’t even pay a living wage while making huge profits. They are classic examples of companies that perpetuate income inequality. Let Mr. Fletcher do the whining and the rest get wise. Unionize! Richard Davis Saanich

Langford welcomes vintage automobiles My wife Claire and I have been regular attendees at Francelli’s Coffee House at Royal Oak Shopping Centre for several years and drive a vintage car that is original and unmodified. The gathering of vehicles at Francelli's was attended by a wide variety of cars including classics like Packards and restored Model Ts - and of course modified vehicles. It was an eclectic blend of automotive history – art on wheels. In addition to the ever changing milieu of automotive history there was the large number of the public who came down to view the historical cars and trucks – and spend their money at the

merchant's stores. This influx of people spurred the complaints from a minority of the merchants who are now are enjoying the solitude of their empty parking lot hoping that new customers will arrive. We are now enjoying the welcoming atmosphere created by Mayor Stew Young of Langford with the live music and delicious barbecued hamburgers wrapped in the ambiance of the beautifully landscaped Goldstream Avenue. Perhaps we will drive by the old site to revisit fond memories and check for tumbleweed blowing across the empty landscape. Jim Cain Saanich

Horse riders should always have helmets Re: Following the leader (Photo, Aug. 30) I refer to your front page photograph showing three horseback riders on a trail ride, two who are not wearing safety or riding helmets. Even the most docile of horses can stumble or even rear when confronted by something unexpected such as uneven ground, a loud noise, a deer or an unleashed dog darting in front of the animal. Anyone who has horse riding responsibilities should know better than to allow anyone to ride without a safety helmet. Carolyn Brady Saanich

More bike racks needed at Uptown There is an extreme shortage of bike racks at Wal-Mart at Uptown Centre. When Wal-Mart first opened, there were two racks available and even that was inadequate. They were always full (morning, afternoon, evening, night). For several months now there has only been one, which of course is always jammed. This rack is against a wall, meaning only one side can be used and a maximum of five crammed bikes can be locked plus taking the chance that their bike will probably be scratched when others remove theirs.

Pass-up petition On Monday at a bus stop at Hillside Avenue near Quadra Street, Madeline KellerMacLeod of the Camosun College Student Society gets a signature on a petition to stop the annual problem of bus “pass-ups” (due to full buses) from University of Victoria student Spencer McEwan. Student unions from UVic and Camosun and the bus driver union are pressuring B.C Transit to add more buses to main routes. This September, Transit boosted service hours and daily bus trips to UVic. I’ve seen bikes locked on the railing (on the steps) of the stairs leading to the area above Wal-Mart, locked to benches, locked two together against the wall (but not secured to a rack). I’ve written Uptown management twice about this concern and have not had any response at all. I know I’m not the only cyclist with this gripe and yes, it’s frustrating for cyclists who frequent stores and spend their money that they are unable to simply lock their (sometime very expensive) bikes to a secure bike rack while shopping.

and starting a group that would ultimately become the Cridge Centre for the Family. “It’s definitely something to be proud of,” Cridge says. Debbie Cridge, working the counter on this day, points out that someone from Church of Our Lord recently dropped by with an original bible belonging to Bishop Cridge. “It’s kind of exciting and kind of special for the family to have a part in Victoria after all these years,” she says. The pharmacy benefitted early from tourist traffic, Jason says. But among local customers, the pharmacy’s compounding services – medications are tailor-made for patients unable to take commercially produced drugs – have proven popular. Eventually, the Cridges hope to evolve into a “naturopathictype” store that can offer medical information on natural medications.

Golf funds women, family support services Danielle Pope News staff

Domestic violence is often hidden, but it’s when people don’t have a choice about where to go that they feel trapped – and that’s when their children become trapped, says Catherine Langpap. “Children learn at the hands of their parents, and that’s where this begins,” says Langpap, cochair of the Victoria Golf Club charity events committee. “If we can give women and men options we are creating a safer environment for our entire community.” That’s the reason Langpap co-organized this year’s Victoria Golf Club Links to Change Charity Golf Invitational in July – the 12th year the event has raised money for the Victoria Women’s Transition House and the first year for Pacific Centre Family Services Association. With more that 450 golfers who participated in this year’s events, the club raised more than $138,500, bringing the total contribution to the transition house to $813,000 in the past decade. “This money allows us to provide those sup-

port services, like answering over 2,000 crisis calls each year, providing shelter to 160 women and 60 children annually and doing prevention work in schools,” says Tracy Lubick, transition house development director. The charity tournament is the single largest fundraiser for the Women’s Transition House, which provides shelter, support, counselling and education to women and children so they can live free from the effects of abuse.

Chalk art - California’s Susanne Ma is just one of many international artists coming to the Victoria International Chalk Art Festival, Sept. 14-15 around downtown Victoria. Supplied photo. MArY ELLEN GrEEN arts@mondaymag.com

fter only two years on the street, the Victoria Chalk Art Festival is already the largest festival of its kind in Canada. The festival is growing by leaps and bounds this year, with almost 30 local artists and 16 international artists participating. This year, the festival has a theme, focusing on celebrating the art and culture of B.C.’s First Nations. Even the international artists have taken on the challenge. This year’s feature artist is Leon Keer of the Netherlands. He begins working on a 20-by20-foot 3D chalk painting on the lower level of The Bay Centre Wednesday morning. “He’s doing a salute to B.C. First Nations as well,” says Chalk Fest executive director John Vickers. “In the design you will see a Monopoly game as the border of the painting. The streets are replaced by B.C. locations which carry First Nation names. From out of the middle you will not only see some beautiful trees arise from the depths, but also the Industry that is present. It is a kind of metaphor for the struggle and sacrifice which the First Nations have to make to be able to move forward and live in harmony with everybody who is present nowadays in their habitat,” Keer writes by email. Keer will work on his painting in Zone 3 (Bay Centre) from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. His anamorphic art will be finished by the end of the weekend and will remain on display until Sept. 30. Government Street (Zone 2) will be closed

from Fort to Yates streets from 4 a.m. Saturday to 9 p.m. Sunday. More than 30 local artists, some of whom are trying chalk art for the first time, will each get 8-by-10-foot “canvases” to work on right on the street. Artists will be finished painting by 6 p.m., leaving three hours for people to come down and view the finished products before the street reopens to vehicles. Centennial Square (Zone 1) will be open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday with international artists live painting in the square, accompanied by entertainment from First Nations dancers, singers and drummers, and other local musicians, beginning each day at noon. Centennial Square is also home to the kids zone where children have access to thousands of pieces of chalk to design their own street art masterpieces, food vendors and an artisans’ marketplace. As a special treat, Kurt Wenner, an internationally acclaimed chalk artist who founded anamorphic or 3D chalk art will be on hand Saturday in Zone 2 at Munro’s Books (1180 Government) from 2-3 p.m., where he’ll be signing copies of his book Asphalt Renaissance — a sure sign that Victoria is now on the international chalk art map. Vista, California’s Lori Escalara, who is a featured artist at this year’s festival is also hosting a tutorial Thursday, Sept. 12 at 7 p.m. at the Delta Ocean Pointe. Any local artists who want to try their hands at creating chalk art during the festival can register for the workshop at victoriachalkfestival.com. For complete event listings, pick up a copy of the Victoria International Chalk Art Festival program at the information kiosk at The Bay Centre and check out victoriachalkfestival. com.

Ride for Rights remembers Kimberly Proctor Event focuses on community healing and violence prevention Kyle Wells News staff

More than three years after the murder of Kimberly Proctor, personal and community healing continues. Dressed in biker leather and with a commanding physical presence, Kim Dupont doesn’t come across as your typical antibullying advocate. Yet Dupont is spearheading the Ride for Rights 2013 event, which will see motorcycle riders hitting the streets of Langford and Greater Victoria on Saturday, Sept. 21 to honour and remember Proctor. Dupont is a family friend of the Proctors. He works as a school counsellor and is also the founder of the Solo Independent Riders motorcycle club. He believes getting bikers involved is symbolic: to take an image of toughness and turn it into one of compassion. “Nothing says safety like 200 motorbikes and leather.” The ride is intended to memorialize and remember Proctor, but also to advocate for continued and improved violence prevention strategies for youth and students. Proctor was sexually assaulted and brutally murdered by two youths she knew from school in March 2010 in Langford. The two boys who killed her, now adults, are currently serving life sentences for the murder. With the murders of Saanich resident

Kyle Wells/News staff

Kim Dupont, a friend of Kimberly Proctor’s parents, is organizing a motorcycle ride and community event to remember the young West Shore teen murdered in 2010, and to raise awareness of youth bullying and violence. The gathering will include laying flowers at the bridge where Proctor’s body was found. Reena Virk, 14, in 1997 and Proctor in 2010, both killed by peers, Dupont said it’s important to keep preventative measures in the forefront of the minds of parents and educators. “I don’t want to see that anymore. We forget until the next story and I don’t want there to be another story. I don’t want there to be another Kimberly Proctor.” Riders and supporters will gather at the Royal Canadian Legion Prince Edward Branch 91 (761 Station Ave.) at noon.

From the legion participants will ride motorcycles or drive to the B.C. legislature, where they will do a couple of laps around the building before heading back to the West Shore. The group will then head to place flowers on the bridge where Proctor’s body was found, near Atkins Road on the Galloping Goose trail. Dupont anticipates the group will arrive at the bridge at 1:30 p.m. Dupont believes this will be an important part of the event, as he sees it as a

way for the community to come together to help heal themselves and to take back the location. “There’s such a deep sorrow there and it would be nice to be able to change that,” Dupont said. “It’s not only a time for the family to heal but also the community, for the Langford and the Victoria community, to pull together.” Dupont didn’t know the Proctor family at the time of the murder, but he worked with students and he felt the effects. “Kids from other districts took days off because it was such a brutal thing,” Dupont said. “I consider myself a pretty big, tough guy, but when I read some of the more intricate details of what happened, I couldn’t sleep for three or four days.” Members of the Proctor family will be attending portions of the event, and Dupont is hoping Kimberly’s friends also come out. Dupont has been organizing the event with the blessings and support of Kimberly’s parents, Lucy and Fred Proctor. He said their own personal healing is an ongoing process, and a tough one at that. “They’re still hurting,” Dupont said. “When you’ve lost a child, and especially in this manner, strength comes and goes. You have strong days and you have weak days.” Dupont is expecting up to 200 motorcycle riders to take part. He said the reaction from people has already been overwhelming, with many saying they were bullied as a child and want to take part. Dupont said he was especially touched when his own teenage son joined the event. “We’ve touched a nerve and people want more community healing,” Dupont said. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Star-studded Olympics fundraiser in November Don Descoteau News staff

Top-level B.C. chefs, big-name Canadian musicians and Olympic athletes are on the menu for the Gold Medal Plates event, set for Nov. 7 at the Victoria Conference Centre. The culinary and wine tasting event, part of a national series of chef competitions that lead to the Canadian Culinary Championships, is a fundraiser for the Canadian Olympic Foundation, which funds the Own the Podium program. “They call it Canada’s biggest kitchen party,” said regional event co-ordinator

Aidan Henry, who helped kick off the runup to the Victoria gala at a high-profile media event at the conference centre. Henry said the Nov. 7 gala has the potential to be Victoria’s premier social event of 2013, comparing it to last year’s David Foster Miracle Concert. Singer-songwriters Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo and Barney Bentall have been confirmed to perform and a number of Olympic athletes, past and present, will be on hand. The B.C. region Gold Medal Plates competition, held in Vancouver for the past couple of years, will see 11 chefs

– including locals Garrett Schack from Vista 18 and Kunal Ghose from Red Fish/Blue Fish – vying in Victoria for the right to move on to the national championships in Kelowna. When national organizers expressed their desire to test the waters in Victoria for 2013, Event chair Bruce Courtnall was asked to lead and assemble the local committee. The city’s experience hosting celebrity fundraisers as the Courtnall Classic and Foster’s Miracle Concert, and

the Capital Region’s connection to Olympic athletes, made the decision an easy one, Bruce said. “I think a lot of us forget how many Olympic athletes we’ve had in our city, from Simon Whitfield to Adam Kreek and Silken Laumann,” he said. “(This event) is for the benefit of the athletes.” He called the gala a “win-win” for everyone involved, from the chefs to the attendees to the athletes. Fellow committee member Whitfield, who joined Courtnall

and Gold Medal Plates CEO Stephen Leckie at the kickoff earlier this month, offered the athlete’s perspective. “Victoria doesn’t typically get much national exposure for our athletes and athletic programs. Gold Medal Plates is our time to shine and show the rest of the country what Victoria has to offer,” Whitfield said. Tickets are $300 each and corporate table sponsorships are available. see goldmedalplates.com. ddescoteau@vicnews. com

Rock’n the memories Travis Paterson

League’s Champions Cup in 2012 and 2013, with the back-to-back NLL champion Rochester Knighthawks. Jamieson picked up three assists in Game 1 and three more assists and two goals in Game 2. “I’m glad the Mann Cup is a seven game series. It’s a championship atmosphere out there with the fan support. Although, I like it better when we have the lead and (the fans are) nice and quiet.” Jamieson is part of a contingent of Rochester Knighthawks players on both teams, along with Vinc. “Vinc is an all-world goalie and he didn’t give that title to himself,” said Jamieson. “Credit to Vinc, he was awesome, hopefully we can put more past him.” Chiefs coach Rich Kilgour said the Shamrocks’ speedy transition is as fast as any they’ve seen this year but not enough that the Chiefs can’t adjust. “(Game 1) they only got five goals so it’s not like they’re killing us in transition. We just have to play our game,” Kilgour said.

News staff

Jesse King will be watching Game 5 of the Mann Cup national lacrosse championship tonight via webcast, likely in a low-lit apartment somewhere near his Ohio State Buckeyes’campus. Face off is 7 p.m. at Bear Mountain Arena. It’s been two Mann Cup games since King flew the coup for his fourth year with the Buckeyes field lacrosse team. And it’s been three games since the 21-year-old call-up brought victory to the Victoria Shamrocks with his natural hat trick in less then five minutes of the third period. As of Monday the Shamrocks and Six Nations Chiefs were tied 1-1. For updates on Games 3 and 4 from Monday and Tuesday, respectively, visit vicnews.com. King was named the Shamrocks player of the game while Cody Jamieson, who might be the biggest biggame player going in lacrosse today, took that honour for the Chiefs. “It’s a dream come true. All I can say is I’m happy I got to play in the Mann Cup,” said King of contributing to the Shamrocks’ 5-4 win on Friday. The Chiefs out-dueled the Rocks 10-8 to even the series on Saturday night at one win apiece. “I never played at a level like this, never had a sniff of the (junior A national championship) Minto Cup, and now I’m playing for the Mann Cup. I have to thank the Shamrocks, hopefully I can stay here the rest of my life.” King made memories with his game winner on Friday, which came with 10 minutes left. Cory Conway passed it to King who headed for the net and scored on an over-theshoulder, behind-the-back shot which beat Chiefs goalie Evan Kirk.

Jesse King shoots during Game 2 of the Mann Cup lacrosse championship at Bear Mountain Arena on Saturday. The Shamrocks lost the game 10-8. “A lot of the time with a crappy angle like that, you just got to get the best shot off. I didn’t score a goal like that my whole junior career, I don’t know why I did that,” King said. King scored again on Saturday night but his NCAA status limited him to the weekend. On Sunday he returned to the Buckeyes. King will enter the Western Lacrosse Association draft next February and could end up drafted anywhere. “King did a phenomenal job,” Shamrocks coach Bob Heyes said. “We made

it (more) exciting (than it needed to be) for that last play of the game. We didn’t play a very good first two periods (Friday), but a good third and once again (goalie) Matt Vinc was great.” The stands have been packed with over 2,900 fans at each of the first two games alone. It feels like 4,900 when the Shamrocks score. From the Chiefs end, Cody Jamieson has been the superstar he’s purpoted to be. It’s the first Mann Cup for the playmkaer who was named MVP of the National Lacrosse

Green vs. green The Shamrocks love their green. The Six Nations Chiefs also wear green. Who knew? “(It’s) a little bit difficult with the uniforms, when guys are catching balls in traffic it’s a little tough see who has the ball,” Vinc said. That’s saying something as Vinc is formerly of the Chiefs. “I’ve played against (Chiefs attacker) Colin Doyle in the winter but I’ve been on the Chiefs and on Rochester for the last three seasons so I’ve actually never played against Jamieson and some of the other guys. We have to make it tough on them. Doesn’t matter if they know your tendencies, they’ve all scored before and will continue to do so.” sports@vicnews.com

Reynolds grad at wrestling worlds Travis Paterson News staff

This week’s vote to keep wrestling in the 2020 Summer Games in Tokyo, Japan is good news for wrestlers world-wide. Saanich wrestling product Stacie Anaka is among that group. This week she’s in Hungary for the 2013 World Wrestling Championships in Budapest, Sept. 16 to 22.

Anaka, 26, is on an upward trend this season and a spot in the 2016 Olympics is beginning to look realistic. Fellow Canadian Carol Huynh won medals in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, so if Anaka needed it, she has Tokyo as added motiviation. In April, Anaka won gold in the 67-kilogram class at the Pan American Games in Panama and in July she won bronze at the Universiade world university

games in Kazan. She wasn’t expecting to wrestle at the world championships this month as she was set on competing for Canada at the Francophone world games in Nice, France, Sept. 6 to 15. She was recently bumped to fourth in the world rankings in her class. Anaka, a former Reynolds and Victoria Bulldogs member, will compete in the worlds on Friday, Sept. 20. sports@vicnews.com

Ryder Hesjedal during Stage 2 of the 2013 Tour of Alberta from Devon to Red Deer.

Hesjedal up front at Tour of Alberta Travis Paterson News staff

Victoria’s hero of road cycling, Ryder Hesjedal, was in high demand during the inaugural Tour of Alberta, Sept. 3 to 8. Hesjedal was the face of the tour before it started and was back in the spotlight for his finish line gaffe on Stage 1 on Sept. 4. Though he was unable to fulfill Canadian hopes of winning the five-stage (plus prologue), 843-kilometre race, his team Garmin-Sharp was able to celebrate the win as Australian teammate Rohan Dennis took first in the general classification. Stage 1, which originated in Strathcona County (Edmonton), finished with three four-kilometre laps of Camrose. Hesjedal was leading the stage and celebrated the win prematurely as he thought he was done one lap too soon. He was caught and finished with the peloton instead. “It’s just a bike race and you move on,” said Hesjedal, shrugging it off during a media scrum after Stage 2 on Thursday. Regardless of the incident, the 2012 Giro d’Italia winner was a contributor to Garmin-Sharp’s overall success helping Dennis win. Hejsedal ended the tour 60th overall, 18 minutes and 39 seconds back of GC winner Dennis, who completed it in 17 hours, 48 minutes and 40 seconds. “This race has been on the schedule for a while, everyone was wondering what it was going to be like. It’s a new event and it’s what we’re used to, big time bike racing,” Hesjedal said. “It’s got lots of support and I’m sure we’ll see it on the calendar for a while.” Giving the Tour of Alberta a shot in the arm was the challenge of Peter Sagan, as the 23-yearold sprinting sensation and multiple Tour de France stage-winner was in the hunt for first in the GC by winning the opening 7.8 km prologue, an individual time trial, as well as Stages 1 and 5. He also placed third on Stage 2. But Garmin was able to capitalize on Sagan’s lack of teammates from Cannondale Pro Cycling. “It’s strength in numbers and Garmin (had) more riders than (Sagan’s) team,” Hesjedal said. The 2011 Tour de France winner Cadel Evans, a countryman of Dennis, won Stage 4. Hesjedal returns to the Island for the 2013 Tour de Victoria, Sept. 22. sports@vicnews.com

Road warrior hits 200,000 km Travis Paterson News staff

Ken Bonner might be Victoria’s preeminent cyclist. Not in terms of races, but in terms of distance. At the beginning of August Bonner, 70, hit a lifetime achievement by clocking kilometre number 200,000 on his cycling odometer. That’s 200,000 just for brevets, mind you, and it came at the end of the 1,200 km LondonEdinburgh-London brevet. Brevets, or randonneurs, are cycling marathons ranging from 300 to 1,200 km, and happen mostly in North America and Europe. The Oak Bay resident is addicted to them. “Actually it was 200,015 km after the London-EdinburghLondon,” he said. Since then he has completed the Granite Anvil 1,200 km in Ontario and the number continues to climb as he’s in Colorado today (Sept. 11) for the Colorado Last Chance 1,200 km. Departure time is 3 a.m. for the last brevet of the season. Meanwhile his total numbers on the Canadian Kilometre Achiever Program website are 312,439 km. The site is based on the honour system.

also looking to make the GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon his lifetime 172nd marathon, but would like to see everyone ride brevets. And while it might seem like he’s speaking to beginners from a cycling pedastal, it’s worth noting he didn’t do a brevet until 1987, while in his forties. “Once you’re on a bike, it’s just a matter of tacking on a little more to each week’s ride,” he says. “Cycling is not like running and unlike anything else, as long as you pace yourself you can go a long way. People should know I average as low as 15 km per hour sometimes.” A quote he heard at the Granite Anvil is sticking with him these days. “Cycling is 90 per cent mental. The other 10 per cent, well that’s mental too.”

n Fairway Markets 50th Anniversary Celebration n Friday, September 6 n Inn at Laurel Point

Fairway Markets family celebrates golden milestone with friends and community Fairway Markets management were joined by members of the public last month as they marked their 50th anniversary in business in Greater Victoria. Yuen family members, who own and operate the popular grocery chain, reminisced about the last five decades and shared their dreams for the future with invited guests at the Inn at Laurel Point on Aug. 20. The company began with the store at Gorge and Tillicum roads and has shown tremendous growth in recent years, building its fleet to 10 stores on Vancouver Island. The company now employs nearly 800 people. Fairway founder Don Yuen, specifically, has been honoured with various awards for his accomplishments in business, including a lifetime achievement award from the Ethno Business Council of B.C. and a CFAX 1070 Community Award for Business Leader of the Year. In this special year celebrating 50 years of service to the community, Fairway showed its continued support for the Greater Victoria Dragon Boat Society through the Lights of Courage campaign.
