Aquattro works to cut its losses Bankrupt development in Colwood still seeks buyer Cycling count volunteer Brynne Croy ticks off another cyclist on the Galloping Goose trail, next to Sooke Road near Royal Roads. With 31 locations, the survey is the largest attempted in Greater Victoria.

cycling infrastructure is present,” she said. “I love my bike. I like being present in the environment, at seeing things at a human pace.” The cycling survey will help focus priorities for the CRD’s cycling master plan, which rolled out earlier this year. The plan envisions increasing cycling to at least 15 per cent of all travel modes region-wide, up from about three per cent now. “We need strong data to show where the (cycling) growth is,” said CRD research planner Sue Hallatt. “We’ve got ad hoc data from municipalities, and cycling advocates have done counts, but now it’s time to pull it all together for a baseline.”

A number of the long vacant condo units at Aquattro in Colwood found buyers over the summer. Anthem Properties, based in Vancouver, has taken over marketing the empty units on behalf of the court-ordered receiver of the bankrupt $350-million project. When accounting firm Ernst & Young took control of the property in February 2010, 51 of the 88 units in Aquattro’s three condo buildings had buyers. Anthem began working for the firm in March after its proposal to buy the property fell through, and has since sold 10 of the more economical, smaller units. Now Anthem is looking to move five larger units for deep discounts, including some with three bedrooms and a den, in the $500,000 range. “That’s 40 to 50 per cent less than they were originally listed for,” sales director Robert Marchant said. “These are homes built pre2008, when the economy was better. You don’t see people building with the same quality features anymore.” He expects once that group is sold, more will be released, though the discounts may not be as dramatic. “Typically as we get clover to our sales goal, prices edge up. The last deals are never as big as the first,” Marchant said. Aquattro was originally slated for 585 units in 24 buildings of condominiums and townhouses on the 48-acre ocean-view property, which includes a network of walking paths and parks.

Counting two-wheeled commuters CRD seeks regional picture of cycling habits Edward Hill News staff

On a sunny and but crisp Thursday morning, a cyclist flies by on the Galloping Goose trail near Royal Roads, earning a studious tick on Brynne Croy’s chart. The Capital Regional District volunteer watched carefully where the cyclists came from and where they’re headed — most veer into the university, some stick to the trail and a few share Sooke Road with morning commuters. “It’s a pretty constant flow. There’s a lot of (cycling) traffic off the Goose into Royal Roads,” said Croy, 29, with her own

bike propped up nearby. It’s all part of the largest cycling survey ever conducted in the Greater Victoria. Counters hit 31 locations over three days this week in an attempt to gauge how many cyclists are out there, where are they going, and what cycling infrastructure they’d like to see. In turn, that survey will feed into the larger Origin-Destination Household Travel Survey, where a research company will seek to interview 6,000 households across the region and the southern Cowichan Valley to get a broad picture of travel habits. Croy is among a small army of volunteers out early in the morning and late afternoon to catch commuting cyclists. She herself is part of a “car-free family.” “I want to make sure efforts like this are supported. I want to make sure

Watering the Galloping Goose Edward Hill

Auto crimes spike on the West Shore RCU arrests two habitual thieves Edward Hill

News staff

Despite being lined by thick forest and brush, and occasionally farm fields, Greater Victoria's two regional trails are a bit barren when it comes to water. In past years, volunteer marathon coach Tom MacDonald had water jugs dropped off by car for 70 or so people struggling through epic 30-plus kilometre training runs. It would be easier, he thought, if there were a few drinking fountains along the way. Within the next few years he may get his wish. Capital Regional District parks, stewards of the Galloping Goose and Lochside regional trails, agreed to install a series of fountains — if MacDonald raises the money. Last week he launched “A Drop in the Bucket,” a fundraising campaign with the modest goal of raising $54,000 to cover the cost of installation and maintenance of nine drinking fountains — three per year for the next three years. “The trail system is fantastic. Two million people use it each year for running or biking or walking,” said MacDonald, who works as the executive director of the Local Government Management Association. “People loves the trail system. We just want to work to enhance it.” So far, so good. Even with relatively little publicity, he's raised $8,400, the majority of that from one family who sponsored the cost of an entire fountain. People who donate $1,000 or more will earn a commemorative plaque. A former municipal staffer for Oak Bay, MacDonald knew pitching an idea to the Capital Region with no money likely wouldn’t work. CRD parks was enthusiastic about the project, but it wasn’t going to vault to the top of the priority list. “We agreed on a budget that I would fundraise. There won’t be a shovel in the ground until

Tom MacDonald and Oslo the lab walk the Galloping Goose trail near Atkins Road in View Royal. MacDonald is fundraising to install drinking fountains along the two regional trails. I deliver the cheque,” MacDonald said. “And it’s not like were asking for millions. It’s $54,000 over all, nine fountains at $6,000 each.” That relatively low cost inspired the “A Drop in the Bucket” campaign name — due to the link with water and that it won’t hit taxpayers. “There is almost no cost (to taxpayers),” he said. “There will be some (CRD) staff time, but it’s a drop in the bucket for taxpayers.” CRD parks is still working on potential water fountain locations on the Galloping Goose and Lochside trails, but it wants them to mesh with future rest stations, similar to one built at Atkins Road. TD

Bank has sponsored a series of rest stops. Lorraine Brewster, manager for visitor services at CRD parks, said they plan to spread the fountains along the trail as best as possible, but there needs to be an existing waterline nearby. “We really support this initiative,” she said. “This will really enhance the trail system for runners, walkers and bikers.” “People love the trail system and support from folks is gratifying,” MacDonald said. “Anyone who loves the trail system, runners, dog walkers, can help make this project work.” See www.adropinthebucket. ca for more information.

The regional crime unit has nabbed several prolific criminals thought to be contributing to a recent spike in auto crimes on the West Shore. The first arrest came due to a credit card stolen from a truck on Gade Road in Langford on Sept. 25, and used nine times before the owner cancelled it that morning. RCU commander Staff Sgt. Gary Schenk said investigators went to each of the nine businesses to obtain video surveillance. The suspect was arrested a few days later. “We recognized immediately who was responsible,” he said. “It was somebody our unit has arrested before. It’s a consistent pattern of behaviour.” The RCU also raided a house in Highlands linked to the suspect, and recovered stolen property and arrested two females who participated in using the stolen credit card. Robert Iverson, 33, is charged with possession of a stolen credit card, two counts of fraud and nine counts of possession of stolen property. He is in custody and has a Oct. 20 court date. Jennifer Hermans, 32, and Denise Ferguson, 33, are also facing fraud charges. Schenk suspects Iverson will face more charges as stolen property is catalogued and owners contacted. Last week RCU officers also arrested another habitual criminal after two credit cards and a debit card were stolen from a car at Goldstream park on Sept. 25. The debit card had its PIN number written nearby. The suspect used the debit card at the Shell gas station on Spencer Road, tried and failed to take money from an ATM at the Bank of Montreal on Goldstream Avenue and used it again at a Cadboro Bay pharmacy. Schenk recognized the man from surveillance video immediately — the RCU had arrested him three times in two years. “His probation officer gave us a 100 per cent positive ID,” Schenk

said. They arrested the suspect when he dutifully kept his scheduled appointment with the probation officer. Michael Dubensky, 33, is charged with theft and possession of a stolen credit card. He is of no fixed address and was released from prison in June. He remains in custody and has an Oct. 20 court date. Schenk said the recent arrests should put a dent in the spike of West Shore auto crime, but warned that other known habitual criminals are on the prowl. “Certainly we think these individuals are responsible for more thefts than they are charged with, but by no means are they responsible for all of (the recent auto crimes),” Schenk said. “There are others out there, and we are shifting our investigation to them.” The West Shore has seen a rash of vehicle break-ins in the past month, some for as little as a few quarters in an ashtray. RCMP recorded about 70 auto crime cases in September, and 25 in the last week alone, mainly in Langford, Colwood and to a lesser extent, View Royal. Many cars were reportedly hit in the Triangle Mountain area. The average for the year is 40 per month. “There’s been lots of them, a lot more than normal in the past three or four weeks,” said RCMP Cpl. Cory Bayda. “Generally it’s stuff in plain view. It’s a little frustrating. It all happens because people aren’t taking valuables out of their vehicles.” Bayda said most of the thefts are from vehicles parked in driveways and on the street, but there are a few cases of thieves gaining access to secured underground garages. “People leave things in their car they feel aren’t worth stealing, but we’ve seen where thieves will put a brick through a window for minor things, like a pair of sunglasses,” Bayda said. He stressed that people need to report theft, even if the incident seems minor. “Reporting it definitely helps. If we suddenly get five or six reports from the same area, it may be a pattern and we can target the area,” Bayda said. “Reporting it gives us a more accurate reflection of what’s happening out there.”

Tanning salon owners are speaking out against a bylaw that will curtail the rights of parents in Greater Victoria. The Capital Regional District board is expected to give final reading to its tanning regulation bylaw today (Oct. 12). It would keep anyone under age 18 out of tanning beds, unless they have a doctor’s permission. “I think it’s ridiculous on a business and a personal level,” said Andrea Sinclair, owner of Sunshine Tanning on Shelbourne Street. “Even if their parents want them to come in for their issues, they can’t, and I think that it’s a parent’s right to choose.” The bylaw was proposed by the Vancouver Island Health Authority’s chief medical health officer, Dr. Richard Stanwick, who agrees with the World Health Organization’s finding that UV radiation contributes to the development of skin cancer, cataracts and other eye conditions. According to Health Canada, tan-

ning beds pump out five times the amount of UV-A radiation the sun creates. While salons in the Capital Region say they will abide by the new rules, if they’re passed, many don’t believe the regulations are the best answer to health concerns. “We are not for this bylaw as it is currently written, as it does nothing to protect or educate the general public, regardless of age,” said Angie Woodhead, co-owner of Cabana Tan and a member of the Joint Canadian Tanning Association. Other salon owners, such as Monica Barrington-Foote of Brun Body Bar in Victoria, said the regulations are necessary because “it’s hard for somebody under age 18 to (have the discipline) for tanning in moderation.” She added safer options, such as spray tanning, exist. Once the bylaw is approved, the CRD will spend approximately one year educating salon staff on the regulations before enforcing violations, which could bring fines between $250 and $2,000, said Andy Orr, senior manager of communications for the CRD.

Remembering his little brother, Terry Fox Charla Huber News staff

Terry Fox is recognized as a Canadian icon and hero, but to Fred Fox, Terry was his little brother. “Terry never would have never thought of himself as a hero,” said Fred during a talk at Wishart elementary. “It wasn’t important for him to be famous. When he was running across Canada all he wanted to was help people.” Fred was 14 months older than Terry, and they were close friends, but Fred admits they did bicker sometimes. Abd while Terry became a household name, Fred said things didn’t come easy for his brother. “Terry was just like every other kid in this school,” Fred said. “He was an average kid. He worked hard to overcome challenges even before he was diagnosed with cancer ... when he was diagnosed with cancer he had to continue working hard.” During Fred’s school tour he made two stops in Greater Victoria, both at West Shore elementary schools — Happy Valley and Wishart. The Terry Fox Foundation asked Fred to visit the two schools due to their long-standing support for the Terry Fox run. “We have had the Terry Fox Run since 1985, that is as old as some of the parents,” said Wishart principal Raman McArthur. Looking back a Terry’s old report cards, Fred said his brother rarely got a grade higher than a C+ and while Terry loved playing sports, he had to work hard at it. “I hear all the time, he must have been a great athlete,” Fred said. When Terry was in Grade 8 he decided to try out for basketball. He was possibly the smallest boy in the entire school. “The coach said he was small and his skill level (wasn’t good enough). He said ‘you’ll sit on the bench all year,’” Fred said. Those words only encouraged Terry to work harder. Everyday before school, at lunch and after school Terry was on the court. Even after that hard work, Terry spent about 95 per cent of the season on the bench. But by Grade 10 he was one the starting guards and was captain of the team. “He was never going to quit,” Fred said. In same fashion, Terry was able to make the junior varsity basketball team at Simon Fraser University in 1976, when all odds were against him there too. By 1977 Terry’s knee began to hurt and eventuFUTURE SHOP – Correction Notice NEWSPAPER RETRACTION FOR THE FUTURE SHOP OCTOBER 7 CORPORATE FLYER Please note that the incorrect image was shown for the Whirlpool 18.5 Cu.

ally he couldn’t even walk on it. At the age of 18 he was told he had a type of bone cancer. “We had no idea what cancer was,” Fred said. “He was devastated and he cried. He was told in four days he’d have to have part of his right leg removed. “I sat there as asked him ‘Why did this have to happen to you?’ Without hesitation Terry said ‘Why not me? I’ve been told all my life I am not big enough, smart enough or strong enough. This

is just one more thing I have to overcome.’” Within 10 days of losing his leg, Terry was fitted with a prosthetic and shortly after decided he wanted to run across the country to raise money for cancer research. He began his run in April, 1980 in St. John’s, N.L. In September of that year, Terry had to stop because the cancer had spread to his lungs. He made it to Thunder Bay, Ont. He died June 28, 1981.

“He ran a marathon almost everyday for 143 days,” Fred said. “I am inspired by my brother in every way. He inspires me everyday.” Wishart school raised $650 in toonies and presented it to Fred during a school assembly on Sept. 30. “It has inspired me so much that the students are continuing what Terry started,” Fred said. “Terry couldn’t have imagined that people would be doing this 30 years later.”

Langford shoppers help local Red Cross Sam Van Schie News staff

Sam Van Schie/News staff

Canadian Red Cross volunteer Dinah Green accepts a cheque for $5,662 from Langford Wal-Mart store manager Sara Pedersen. The money will help Greater Victoria Red Cross emergency services.

Local emergency response programs got a boost in funds thanks to the generosity of Wal-Mart shoppers. Throughout the month of August cashiers at WalMart across the country asked customers to add a donation to the Red Cross onto their purchase. In Langford a total of $5,662 was collected. The money raised locally stays within Greater Victoria and will be used to help families in emergency situations, such as replacing belongings after a home fire or flood. Nationally, the annual fundraiser has brought in over $16 million since 2003, making Wal-Mart the largest corporate donor to the Canadian Red Cross.

Eye Strain

From the moment you wake up in the morning, to the moment you turn the light out at night, you are using your eyes for virtually everything you do. It is no wonder that sometimes your eyes get tired. Symptoms of eye strain include headaches, light sensitivity, burning eyes and eye pain. Eye strain can result from your eyes working too hard to see clearly. Even people with 20/20 vision can benefit from glasses if their eyes are focusing all the time to get that clarity. For example, far sighted people have more difficulty seeing things that are close to them because their eyes are focusing much harder than normal to see near objects. Headaches and eye fatigue when reading could easily be eliminated by the use of reading glasses. If you are suffering from eye strain, having a complete eye exam could determine the cause of your discomfort and provide a solution. A change in your existing prescription may make all the difference, especially if you have not updated your spectacle lenses in a long time. Eye problems do not usually go away by themselves. Visiting your optometrist can give you the assurance that you have the exact prescription required for clear and comfortable vision.

Langford FD on the pizza run Working smoke alarms could mean free food

Wednesday, October 19th 3:00pm – 8:00pm Council Chambers, Town Hall 45 View Royal Avenue, Victoria, BC

If you order a Domino’s Pizza this week, there’s a chance Langford Fire Rescue will be along for the delivery. Langford’s fire prevention officers are teaming up with Domino’s to give people a chance to win their order for free — they just have to show proof of working smoke alarms and a visible street address. “When someone orders a pizza we’ll follow the pizza driver in an engine,” said Capt. Chris Aubrey. “We’ll give the homeowner a chance to get their order for free.” No working alarms means no free pizza, but fire officers will make an appointment to install working smoke alarms for free. The effort is part of national fire prevention week. Firefighters in an engine will join the pizza run from today until Friday, likely in the early evening, and when they aren’t on emergency calls. “I think it will be fun. There are quite a few volunteer firefighters excited about it,” Aubrey said. “This is the first year we’ve done this, and we hope to make it annual. We hope it’s a successful event.” John Earl, owner of Domino’s in Langford, said the store will pay for one free order per day. It’s the first time the company’s has sponsored the event in Western Canada. “It’s one per night, but we’ll see how it goes,” Earl said. “We don’t want to tie up fire trucks too much.” The pizza run is an extension of Langford Fire Rescue’s ongoing program to install working smoke alarms in homes for free. “Smoke alarms are the first line of defense and the best line of defense

Langford firefighters Geoff Spriggs, Kerry Zado, Chris Aubrey and Dan Darche might be on pizza delivery and smoke alarm duty this week. to alert a family in the event of a fire and provide enough time to get out,” Aubrey said. “A smoke alarm is the single most important tool to protect families from fire.” Aubrey said firefighters still find many homes in the city without working smoke alarms, often because batteries are dead or the wiring is disabled. “A large number of alarms are disabled due to false alarms,” he said. “We can come by and find a better spot (in your house).” Aubrey also noted a visible street address is a necessary condition to win the free food. A house with poor lighting runs the risk of getting cold pizza. For emergency responders, lost time looking for an address could mean life or death. “In your worst moment, dealing with a heart attack or a fire, you don’t want to be delayed because of the address.”

OUR VIEW

Generosity for tour inspires A

nyone taking in the Tour de Rock celebration at Veteran’s Memorial Park would have been overjoyed with the energy and dedication of the West Shore community, despite the soggy weather. Generous donors young and old had their heads shaved, adding thousands of more dollars to the running total — more than $750,000 when this paper went to press before Thanksgiving. A number of children and teens on the West Shore have faced down cancer with immense bravery, and are the clear reason why the Tour de Rock riders sacrifice their time and energy. Riders know their trials and suffering on the road is nothing compared to a child going through chemotherapy or living at B.C. Children’s Hospital. The ride is also a tremendous reward — the generosity and hospitality from people the length and breadth of Vancouver Island let’s us know that community and charity aren’t lost in the past. The contributions of others in the region — a number of schools raised thousands of dollars — are no less important to the big picture. The reality is we will need to give well into the future to fund research into the causes and treatment of cancer. We mark this time of year by getting behind the police and media riders who give their time to act as a focal point for this major campaign. Perhaps more important is that we congratulate all the young people in our communities who engaged in any fundraising activities, rallied the troops and generated much-needed capital for such an important cause. The positive results of so many campaigns for Cops for Cancer has us feeling truly encouraged by what the future appears to hold for Greater Victoria. It tells us the tendency for Capital Region residents to dig deep and help out will continue for at least another generation. What do you think?

That’s the deal.” As usual, the political debate is nearly sterile. The NDP wants more judges, prosecutors, sheriffs and courthouses.

Probation orders with conditions will soon be available for those charged with public drunkenness under the Liquor Control and Licensing Act rather than the Criminal Code. But they would still have to go to court. Perhaps the government could take a cue from their recent revision of impaired driving laws, giving police the ability to assess fines and impound vehicles on the spot. Perhaps by the time the next big drunken riot starts to brew, cops would actually be able to offer consequences. Going around the court system is their best bet these days. tfletcher@blackpress.ca —Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com.

And there’s lots of work to do. The government has indicated it has a substantial set of legislation it wishes to bring forward before the Christmas break. I and my colleagues on the official opposition benches will be working hard to examine and critique the government’s legislation. Where we think things can be done differently and in a better way for all Canadians — we will make pragmatic suggestions for improvement.

There are also local issues of great importance. Now that the Capital Regional District has voted to halt the application to develop some of the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail lands, I remain

committed to working with MLA John Horgan, Juan de Fuca area director Mike Hicks and other interested parties to see if we can come to some sort of solution that will ensure there are no future development proposals on that land. Finally, I want to encourage people to become involved in, participate in, and have an interest in the Nov. 19 school board and municipal elections. Locally elected people have such important jobs in determining the look and direction of our communities and school systems. Please take some time and energy to find out about the candidates, their positions and their records.

LETTERS Get pilot commuter rail project on track Commuter rail mulled for E&N line, News, Oct. 5, 2011. Is commuter rail realistic? Yes, but first an economical pilot project is needed to establish if there is sufficient interest by commuters before spending huge sums of money on establishing a fully-operating commuter-rail service. The greatest “bang for the buck” will be a pilot project serving the areas with the greatest populations density (the Langford Lake-Langford-Dockyard-Victoria corridor) rather than going further afield through low-density areas. The cheapest pilot project would use existing BC Transit buses and adapt them to run on rails (like railway maintenance pickup trucks). These vehicles have the added advantage that they could be used for delivering passengers directly to downtown Victoria, crossing the Blue Bridge on their normal rubber tires, so no need for commuters to transfer to a shuttle-bus in VicWest.

However, before this pilot project could begin, the rail bed along this corridor must be upgraded. It is in deplorable shape. After a successful pilot project, suitable rail cars could be ordered and used, and an extension up to Duncan and maybe Nanaimo could be considered. Is commuter rail realistic? Let’s find out with a low cost pilot project that is easy and quick to implement. Ted Lewall Esquimalt

Amalgamate Colwood and Langford now As taxpayers in Solar Colwood, where one wonders whether we signed on for a never-ending “send in the clowns” instead of a fully functioning council, we've had the breathless announcements over the past few years — loans to staff to buy electric bicycles, the never ending selfaggrandizement of their total commitment to all things green, organic, sustainable — you get the picture. Then along comes Colwood,

front and centre at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention condemning smart meters even though they bragged about them so much originally that you'd think they invented them. There have been so many flip flops by this over-spending, under-achieving council one can only watch in despair. Council has caved in to a very small group of naysayers, probably the same ones who use cellphones, microwaves and more, and made themselves look like total incompetents in the process. Some of them will probably ask for our votes again in the November elections. As a former councillor of Cobourg, Ont., from 2000 to 2006, in a municipality of 18,000 plus we were subject to far more rigorous scrutiny. Community cable TV covered every meeting, the local newspaper sent a tough reporter and our every word was out on the street next day, we were accountable. Colwood, we deserve better. The whole region deserves better. We need mayors and councils actually prepared to discuss amalgamation instead of protect-

The consequence was, time and again, that Colwood kept muddling along for another legislative period to only fall further behind our neighbours in Langford.

Little to no action has been taken in the year since B.C.’s Auditor General red-flagged a series of big holes in the Agricultural Land Commission’s ability to protect farmland. Auditor General John Doyle’s original report in the fall of 2010 contained nine recommendations, some of them urging the ALC to fix inaccurate maps of agricultural land reserve boundaries and tighten enforcement against those who degrade farmland. The commission’s budget has been cut 30 per cent since 2002 and the audit had found the agency is too underfunded and understaffed to carry out much of its duties. But in a new follow-up report, Doyle sees inaction over the past year. Nothing has been done with five recommendations and the rest

are only partly implemented. “I am disappointed that the ALC has made negligible progress,” he said in the report. The ALC tabled a new strategic vision for the future last November, but the proposed new directions are stalled in Victoria because the provincial government has yet to make any decisions. On all nine of the original recommendations, Doyle’s report says the ALC is “awaiting direction from government.” The future food-growing productivity of the ALR continues to be damaged by illegal activity such as the dumping of construction material and tainted fill on farmland. Doyle previously found the ALC too often gives violators written or verbal warnings instead of issuing orders or fines because it can’t afford to defend tougher measures if they’re challenged in court.

Attorney General Shirley Bond has introduced changes to B.C. law that present new options for street disorder, unsafe driving and other provincial offences. The amendments would allow charges of being drunk in public to be laid under the Liquor Control and Licensing Act instead of the Criminal Code. Offenders could be placed on probation with conditions such as paying for damages, writing an apology and performing community service, and a new offence of breaching a probation order would be available. Probation options are also being added to existing fines and jail terms for serious Motor Vehicle Act offences such as driving without due care. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

New ID cards go beyond health care Tom Fletcher Black Press

The replacement for B.C.’s CareCard will provide online access to medical records, and may also be used to confirm B.C. residence and age while keeping other information private. Health Minister Mike de Jong announced the new “smart card” plan in May, saying it will also offer the option of doubling as a driver’s licence. The government is phasing out the existing CareCard, mainly because there are 9.1 million cards in circulation and only 4.5 million residents eligible for the Medical Services Plan. The new cards will have a photo and an electronic chip, and be renewable every five years. Labour, Citizen Services and Open Government Minister Margaret MacDiarmid said the government hopes to start issuing them in 2012. Amendments to the information and privacy law now before the legislature would allow secure online access by residents and authorized medical professionals, for prescriptions and lab tests. They may also be used to confirm student status or whether a resident is 19 or over, without releasing other personal information. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

So whether you have an old toy car, a broken gold chain, or a Barbie sitting in the closet, bring it down to the Roadshow, they will take a look at it for FREE and it could put money in your pocket!

See you at the roadshow!

But seriously folks, there’s a comedian in the House Rod Peter Jr. keeps busy on stage, in stairwells, for current roles

Actor and comedian Rod Peter Jr. will star as Roderick Usher in Edgar Allen Poe’s classic psychological thriller, The Fall of the House of Usher, Oct. 21 to 31 at Craigdarroch Castle.

Travis Paterson News staff

Each day forward in October means a little less hair for Rod Peter Jr. The local theatre actor and comedian is slowly moving toward complete baldness in preparation for his upcoming role in The Fall of the House of Usher, being staged in the rooms and stairwells of Craigdarroch Castle from Oct. 21 to 31. To start its annual Halloween programming at the castle, Giggling Iguana Productions is re-adapting the Edgar Allan Poe play, having performed it from 2001 to 2004. Peter plays central figure Roderick Usher, whose deteriorating mental health is key to the story’s haunting nature and spooky antics. “When (Giggling Iguana) director Ian Case asked me to play Roderick Usher I said yes, knowing I’d seen it way back,” Peter said. “But I’m not sure I knew what I was getting into, namely getting my head shaved. Last night I scissored my hair and I’m cutting it progressively shorter day by day, just to avoid the shock.” Adjusting to the role of Usher has been challenging, as a comedy-based actor, Peter said. He recently ended a five-year stint with comedy theatre troupe Atomic Vaudeville to co-found cabaret group This is Twisted

Travis Paterson/ News staff

Theatre, which held its first show on Oct. 2. One of Twisted’s main segments is the continued story of this year’s Victoria Fringe Festival hit, Tara Firm and the Lunar War Chronicles, including all the same cast. “(Usher) is very, very dark, and the way we’re going with it is much more extreme than past productions, which is great,” he said. “I think it resonates with audience members.” While memorizing his lines, the comic in Peter couldn’t help but make light of Poe’s ample use of language. “I feel like the most poetic, depressed Frasier Crane right now. It’s the most long-winded, but beautiful language.” Case said it seemed fitting to start the company’s second decade of Halloween

Now Peter’s hoping This is Twisted Theatre can become equally accepted as Atomic on the Victoria theatre scene. “The first show was an experiment. There were some dud (scenes), but we got a lot of positive feedback,” he said. “We’re trying something different than Sin City Improv and Atomic Vaudeville. We’re not competing with Atomic. It’s a written show with a script, much different than it was four years ago. “This is taking some of what Atomic used to be, with a little Sin City Improv, and doing something new. We saw Theatre Skam’s bike ride and thought, ‘Why not? Let’s push the envelope, so what if we fail?’” sports@vicnews.com

In the castle

programming at the castle with the play that started it all. Peter was barely a teenager studying at Vic High when Giggling Iguana premiered Usher at Craigdarroch in 2001. Peter and classmate Mike Delamont were scouted by Case during their 2004 Fringe performance of The Long Walk, and both were recruited for that year’s performance of War of the Worlds at Craigdarroch. “Except Delamont didn’t fit his War of the Worlds army costume so he ended up not being in it,” Peter recalled. However, Atomic Vaudeville’s creators Britt Small and Jacob Richmond also recruited Peter and Delamont from the 2004 Fringe, and both went on to create some of Atomic Vaudeville’s most popular characters.

■ The Fall of the House of Usher shows Oct. 21 to 31 at Craigdarroch Castle, 1050 Joan Cres. ■ Showtime is 8 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 7 and 9 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. ■ Tickets, $25 ($22 for Castle members), are available at www. ticketrocket.org or by phone at 250-590-6291. ■ There is no seating; the performance moves between rooms and up and down stairs.

Hockey Equipment… We’ve got it.

Buggy start for Royals Travis Paterson

days later after consulting with league commissioner Ron Robison and director of officiating Kevin Muench. “It was a match penalty, which is the most severe penalty in the book,” Doerksen said. “We’ve made all of our teams and players very aware of our concerns with illegal blows to the head and the damage that can be caused. Certainly this hit, as a match penalty, it was illegal, it injured the opponent. Clearly, (Stahl’s) going to be out for some period of time now as well. Those were the primary factors on it.” Stahl’s concussion is especially tough as it isn’t the first of his career. His timeline for return is unknown, with at least a month on the injury reserve to start. “The doctors drive the decisions on that, not the players, so we’ll take it slow and see,” Marc Habscheid said.

News staff

Physicality is a big part of what makes the Western Hockey League so popular but the tough side of hockey has a downside. Still early in the Victoria Royals season, the club’s medical room is full. A pair of head injuries suffered by Royals’ defencemen Zach Habscheid and Tyler Stahl are the kind of injuries blighting the game of hockey. Throw in a pair of non-head injuries to forwards Brandon Magee and Brenden Perseley and one of the youngest clubs in the league is even younger. But its hits to the head that are under the microscope this year with the NHL itself finally taking a leadership role and the WHL’s new Seven Point Plan, which introduced a checking to the head penalty. The WHL even held a special seminar for coaches and general managers in September at the league’s headquarters in Calgary. There’s no overnight cure to reduce the amount of career-threatening concussions, but Royals coach and general manager Marc Habscheid (Zach’s father) does see the culture changing. “Once an incident happens and the (bigger) suspensions take place,” he said. “It’s pretty obvious you don’t have hits to the head, I think the kids are getting it. You want to do anything you can to win but there’s a line you don’t cross.” Zach Habscheid’s status was unknown at press time though his head was seen absorbing contact prior to leaving the ice early in the Royals’ Oct. 6 game versus the Medicine Hat Tigers at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre. Zach was driven into the boards by Kale Kessy. The latter received a double minor for checking from behind and returned to the game. Stahl’s incident was more clear cut. His came from an elbow to the head by Prince George Cougars’ forward Charles Inglis in Prince George on Oct. 1. Inglis was

Lengthy suspensions As for Inglis, once his 10-game penalty is complete, it will be the longest served by a WHL player since Tri-City Americans forward Brendan Shinnamin was handed a 12-game suspension for a check from behind on Josh Nicolls of the Saskatoon Blades in October of 2010. The biggest suspension prior to Inglis’ went to forward Cody Beach of the Moose Jaw Warriors. Beach was assessed seven games for a check to the head on Sept. 23. He was issued a five-minute major and game misconduct for his opening-night hit on Brandon Wheat Kings forward Bruno Mraz. “That was a severe one too and if (Mraz) had been injured, it would’ve been in the same range,” Doerksen said. “Obviously any time a player gets suspended now that will will be taken into context should he be involved in the same situation again in the future,” Doerksen said. —With files by Alistair McInnis, Prince George Free Press

This waterfront home on Sea View Road in Saanich, known as Miramar, sold recently for $6.1 million, making it the most expensive home to sell in the Capital Region this year.

Ten Mile Point heritage home sells for $6.1 million Sale a rarity in sluggish luxury home market Vivian Moreau News staff

In a market of sluggish luxury home sales, a heritage home on Sea View Road in Saanich has sold for $6.1 million, the most expensive home sold so far this year in Greater Victoria. The 8,035-square-foot West Coast Tudor mansion known as Miramar was designed by Percy L. James in 1928. It sits on a 2.25-acres, has 500 feet of waterfront and was pur-

chased by an Alberta couple. It was listed for $7.59 million in December 2010. Listing agent Georgia Wiggins of Remax Camosun closed the deal Sept. 20. The four-bedroom house had recently been completely renovated, with a master bedroom wing added. Wiggins said woodworkers were brought from Vancouver to work on the interior renovation. “The designers (Vancouverbased Richard Salter Interiors) had the woodworkers stay in the house for a few weeks before work began to get the flavour of the house,” she said. Sales of luxury homes have decreased slightly in 2011. There have been 147 sales

over $1 million in the region so far this year, down from 161 for the same period in 2010. “If you look at this year over last we’re down about 10 per cent in terms of the number of (luxury) properties sold, but we’re kind of down 10 per cent overall,” said Dennis Fimrite, president of the Greater Victoria Real Estate Board. “Certainly the high-end market moves a little slower when there are fewer purchasers around. Starter homes — those listed under $500,000 — are the hot commodity these days,” he added. “Builders on the West Shore are building them as fast as they can.” editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Local news. Local shopping. Your local paper.

The Aerie is set to re-open next year now that a judge has approved the sale of the luxury resort. A numbered company owned by Shawnigan Lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Harvey Simons successfully bid $3.1million for the 85-acre property. The former five-star resort perched atop the Malahat closed and went into receivership in November 2009. Originally listed for $6.9 million, it was reduced to $4.75 million in February of this year, and finally dropped to $3.95 million in June. Simonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; $3.1-million bid, meanwhile, was subject to court approval due to the con-

ditions of receivership. With the bid approved in court, Simonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offer moves into the traditional 30-day closing period. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the first phase (Simons) will do the work necessary to bring it back up to an acceptable standard,â&#x20AC;? said Patrick Hrushowy, Simonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; spokesperson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sat idle now for nearly three years, and while the receiver did a good job keeping it whole and intact, weather has had an impact and so on.â&#x20AC;? Simons expects upward of $2 million will be required to restore the resort to its former five-star glory, before reopening at the beginning of the next tourist season. A land developer and business owner, Simons also plans to re-brand the resort, and replace its Aerie name, although at this time he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t decided on a new moniker. After that, he

hopes to develop the propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upper portion for what Hrushowy called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;high-end wilderness experienceâ&#x20AC;? that fits in with the South Cowichan OCPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision for tourism/commercial development in that region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taking a look at what the economics might be, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking like a dozen or more high-end, but rustic, cabins that would be nestled into the natural environment there,â&#x20AC;? Hrushowy said. Simons also hopes to make good use of the propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helipad, which would allow tourists to take advantage of southern Vancouver Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many outdoor recreation opportunities, such as whale watching and fishing, while still enjoying the luxury of the resort. The propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three buildings include amenities such as gourmet dining and spa facilities, plus a tennis court and other fitness facilities.
