The power of many Oak Bay High students band together to support Tour de Rock Ryan Flaherty News staff
As the 2011 Canadian Cancer Society’s Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock draws near, fundraising activities at Oak Bay High are kicking into high gear. Students have planned a wide range of activities which started this week and continue through Oct. 6, when the tour riders roll into the school. “We have a lot this year,” said supervising teacher Chad Jacques. “This is the biggest group of students that we’ve ever had working on the project.” The campaign started with a dunk
tank yesterday and things really get rolling tomorrow (Sept. 17), when the school holds an eight-hour relay fashioned after Easter Seals’ 24-hour Relay for the Kids held annually at the University of Victoria. As in that event, at least one member of each team – there are 10 taking part – must be going around the track at all times. At the same time, teammates take part in a variety of fun competitions against other teams. Other fundraising events planned include clothing and bottle drives, a dodgeball tournament and a silent auction. And of course, no student fundraiser
is complete without a little goodnatured teacher humiliation. “Head shave day is Sept. 29 and that’s a lot of fun,” said Danica Robirtis, one of three student co-ordinators leading the campaign. “Teachers get pied (in the face) and men wax their legs, which is pretty hilarious to watch.” All proceeds from the Oak Bay High events will be donated to Camp Goodtimes, a facility in Maple Ridge where children with cancer and their siblings can have a summer camp experience.
The B.C. government’s carbon neutrality program is working, but it needs changes, Environment Minister Terry Lake says. Lake spoke to a conference of senior federal officials in Victoria recently, reminding them that B.C. is the first state or provincial government in North America to be “carbon neutral,” requiring public services to offset carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions by buying credits from the government’s Pacific Carbon Trust. The offset payments are used to fund emission reduction projects, and to create an incentive for managers to find ways to reduce fuel consumption. The requirement covers not only provincial ministries, but school districts and health authorities, and Lake acknowledges that has been controversial because beneficiaries include private resource companies. “I think the principles are correct, but the implementation needs to be worked on,” he said in an interview. “I think people would prefer that when we see public institutions putting money into the Pacific Carbon Trust for instance, that there should be a direct correlation coming back to those organizations to help them reduce their carbon footprint.” The Pacific Carbon Trust (PCT) was set up by the province to collect offset funds from government operations and specific projects that cut carbon emissions. In 2010 the PCT collected $4.4 million from B.C.’s 60 school districts, to compensate for emissions that mostly come from school buildings. School bus emissions are exempt, but other vehicle emissions must be reported and offset.

Venerable church survives a “near-death experience”
Emergency sessions teach preparation
Vivian Moreau News Staff
The leather-bound book is in remarkably good shape. But perhaps that’s because it’s been in a box for so long. Father John Macquarrie of St. Mary the Virgin Church in Oak Bay found the men’s guild log while clearing out a church basement room. “It goes through the Second World War. It says ‘Mr. Dexter cannot come anymore – he’s joined the army.’ Then in 1946 you can read, ‘Captain Dexter has come back and given us a talk.’” Macquarrie and others have been tidying up the church building on Elgin Road in preparation for its 100th birthday, which is officially Tuesday, Oct. 4. On the Sunday before, a service and a private catered luncheon for parishioners will be attended by Anglican Bishop James Cowan, as well as Lt.-Gov. Steven Point. A public party is set for Saturday, Oct. 8, when the church will open the doors to its expansive property, which includes a nave, sanctuary, preschool and eight washrooms. It also houses the Canadian College of Performing Arts. The open house will feature displays about the church’s history, including the original chalice donated for its opening, as well as a bouncy castle for the kids, and a corn roast and hot dogs for hungry visitors. Docents will give tours of the sanctuary, which contains 43 stained glass windows. Having survived what Macquarrie calls a “near-death experience” last year – the Anglican diocese of B.C. had contemplated closing St. Philip Church on Eastdowne Road and merging

Rector’s warden Catherine Young and Father John Macquarrie look over 60-year-old men’s guild logs he found in boxes in the basement of St. Mary the Virgin Anglican Church. it with St. Mary’s, under a different name – the church has been rejuvenated. When Macquarrie took over as pastor two years ago attendance at Sunday services at St. Mary’s was sparse. Now about 80 people show up regularly through the year. “A lot of our members caught on fire and started attending again,” he says. “In the summer we had over 70 attending. That’s unheard of for the summer.” The key to St. Mary’s survival is to attract younger families, Macquarrie says. To that end, a children’s choir is being formed. Twelve children aged seven to 14 have already signed up for the choir, to be led by Victoria
Conservatory of Music maestra Marnie Setka-Mooney. The choir was the idea of retired music professor and rector’s warden, Catherine Young. The children’s choir will complement the seasoned adult choir, which performs every Sunday. With the performing arts college in place and classical concerts being held regularly at the church, the arts will be an integral part of St. Mary’s future, Macquarrie says. “We’re wrapping ourselves like a mantle around culture.” The open house runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information, visit http://stmarysoakbay. bc.anglican.ca/ or call 250598-2212. vmoreau@oakbaynews.com

Hard lessons from Christchurch still hit home Roszan Holmen News staff
One year after the first of three earthquakes hit Christchurch, New Zealand, thousands of residents are only now learning the true impact of the disaster on their lives. Whole neighbourhoods must be simply abandoned because the soil has been rated unfit for remediation or uninsurable. It’s a sobering scene brought home to Victoria, which is Christchurch’s sister city in many ways, including its population, the age of its architecture and the importance of tourism. Emergency planners for Victoria and Saanich travelled to New Zealand twice to get a first-hand perspective. They delivered their message last week to a unique audience: councils from both municipalities, who combined their meeting for the first time to deal with issues of regional significance. One lesson learned is the significance of soil type. Maps of highrisk soil zones proved to be a fairly accurate predictor of damage to buildings and pipes. Underground infrastructure performed fairly well where retrofitted, said Brock Henson of the Saanich Emergency Program. Soil type, however, was a more important factor in whether water, sewer and storm pipes sustained damage during the quake, he added. Similar maps exist of Greater Victoria, which identify areas subject
to a risk of liquefaction. The term refers to the water in the soil that’s squeezed out to the surface during an earthquake. Robert Johns, with the Victoria Emergency Management Agency, saw instances in Christchurch. “You see these big sand boils that bubbled out of the ground. It almost looks like at a beach when a clam will create a little hole and a little mound around it.” When under a building, however, these boils can buckle the foundation. In Christchurch today, much of the downtown is still closed and 60,000 people have moved away. The loss of revenue for the city is spurring layoffs. Some heritage buildings have seen their insurance skyrocket from $3,000 to $30,000. Houses that appeared at first to stand up well to the quakes must be demolished because they’re no longer functional. “The doors don’t close, the windows don’t open,” Johns said. “It wasn’t economical to try to fix them … In many of the areas, they’re finding out now that the house they’re in has to be torn down or the neighbourhood has to be basically closed.” The delay is due to the continual aftershocks, and the sheer number of buildings requiring inspection. “We learned that a mediumand long-term housing solution is needed,” Henson said. Also needed is more expertise in rapid damage assessment. The good news is that Victoria has fewer areas of gravelly or
IN BRIEF
If the big one were to strike, you’d need to survive on your own for seven days. To learn how to do so, consider attending a free emergency preparedness workshop on Tuesday (Sept. 20) from 7 to 9 p.m. at Windsor Park pavilion, 2451 Windsor Rd. Experts will walk you through what supplies to stash away now in case of disaster. To register, call 250-592-9121. Seniors can also sign up for a workshop designed just for them, to be held Wednesday, Oct. 5 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at Monterey Recreation Centre. Participants will learn the importance of a buddy system and will receive free items to add to a graband-go bag. Call 250-3707300 to register.
Lecture highlights cemetery’s history
Oak Bay Heritage is kicking off its fall lecture series with a presentation on the community’s historic Chinese cemetery. Local historian John Adams, founding president of Victoria’s Old Cemeteries Society, will share stories and photographs of the burial ground, which was established in 1906 at Harling Point. Future lectures will focus on early transportation in Oak Bay, as well as the history of Oak Bay United Church. The lecture on the Chinese cemetery takes place next Wednesday (Sept. 21) at 7 p.m., at Windsor Park Pavilion.

Red zones indicate high to very high risk. Blue indicates low to medium risk. sandy soil, which is more susceptible to ground shaking. Johns said he wouldn’t expect to see any neighbourhoods abandoned here should a really strong earthquake hit. But there will likely be pockets of damage in every neighbourhood. Low- to medium-risk zones include portions of Fairfield, encompassing the heart of Cook Street Village. Most of Victoria’s high- and very high-risk areas sit on old fill hugging the waterfront, such as Ogden Point, Rock Bay, the ferry terminals along Belleville Street, and the Empress and Victoria Conference
Centre near the Inner Harbour. Factors that cause damage are numerous: size, location and depth of the earthquake; the ground conditions, plus the construction type and age of a building, Johns said. Insurance options can vary. Some companies restrict earthquake insurance based on postal code, said Rosslyn Milne, a branch manager with Megson FitzPatrick Insurance. Within the Victoria region, however, such restrictions are rare, she said. rholmen@vicnews.com
The residents and staff of Marion Village invite the public to a carnival being hosted there today (Sept. 16) in support of the Terry Fox Foundation. The event will feature a dunk tank, cupcake walk, beanbag and ring toss games, and, of course, carnival food such as cotton candy and corn on the cob. Tickets for food and games will be sold for a suggested donation of 3 tickets for $1. All proceeds go to the foundation, which raises money for cancer research. Marion Village is at 1950 Bee St. and the carnival runs from 1 to 4 p.m. Village residents will also take part in a walk on Sunday as part of the Terry Fox Run, which takes place at sites across Canada on the same day. vmoreau@oakbaynews.com

Students put spirit into fundraiser Continued from Page A1
Last year, the school contributed $43,000 to the camp through its various fundraising initiatives. This year, they’ve set a monetary target of $20,000, but the students are more focused on their goal of sending 15 kids to camp. “We’re more fixated on the kids this year,” Robirtis said. “It costs a little over $1,000 to get a kid to camp, so that’s where we got our total.” Coming at the beginning of the school year, the campaign serves as a way
of bringing the student body together, she said. “It is a lot of work, but the kids at Oak Bay, they’re unbelievable. They’ll bend over backwards to help out.” Added Jacques: “It’s neat because you get to see students doing it for their friend or their aunt or their grandma or their dad. It effects more people than you think, and the response that they get is pretty impressive and admirable.” editor@oakbaynews.com MORE ON TOUR DE ROCK: Normal again, Page A11

All is not lost: Successful brain aging Wednesday, September 21, 2011, 7:30 p.m. Flury Hall, Bob Wright Centre Woody Allen once said, “My brain is my second favourite organ.” In actuality, most of us would rank our brains even higher than that, in terms of what defines us. Amid that, one of the inevitabilities of life is that time takes its toll, and the brain is one of the most vulnerable organs to the ravages of aging. But the news is not purely grim. Join Stanford University neuroscientist Dr. Robert Sapolsky for a fascinating and funny look at human beings’ favourite organ – the brain. In this free public lecture meant for the layperson, Dr. Saplosky will enlighten and entertain. His gift for storytelling led the New York Times to suggest he is a cross between Jane Goodall and a borscht-belt comedian. Seating is based on first-come, first-served availability. The lecture will be followed by a book signing at 8:45 p.m. with his books, Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers, and A Primate’s Memoir: A Neuroscientist’s Unconventional Life Among the Baboons.

Serious Assault On Thursday August 18, at approximately 12:30 a.m., an assault occurred on the west side of the 1000-block of Douglas St. in downtown Victoria. Three males had left Club 919 at the Strathcona Hotel and were walking northbound when they were approached and confronted by a larger group of males. One of these men, described as Caucasian, over 6’ tall, and either bald or with very short hair, accused the three males of harassing his girlfriend. At this time another male came from behind the large male and “sucker punched” one of the three males to the head. The suspect fled southbound on Douglas Street, while other members of this larger group continued to try to provoke a fight. The male victim of the punch required surgery for a shattered orbital bone. He has lost partial vision in one eye and will require further surgery.
The individuals pictured here are wanted as of September 14, 2011

Maybe he felt nervous in front of the crowd, but when Rob Reid paid tribute to Betty Fox, the words just didn’t come out right. It was 2008, and Reid was taking part in a cross-country tour of the Terry Fox’s van, restored by the Ford company. Much of the Fox family flew out to St. John’s, Nfld. for the van’s unveiling, the city where Terry started his Marathon of Hope for cancer research. “I’m not a professional emcee, so I ended up talking about the Ford company but at the same time was introducing the matriarch of the (Terry Fox) foundation and the family,” recalled Reid, owner of Frontrunners. “I referred to Betty as Betty Ford. I got sort of a half laugh-glare from Betty and that’s a look that you never forget.” The two knew each other well by then. Reid got involved with the family when he started working toward a Terry Fox statue for the 25th anniversary of the epic run. On Sunday (Sept. 18), he’ll give another tribute to Betty, who died on June 17, at a ceremony to launch the 31st annual Terry Fox Run at Mile 0. Betty turned her grief into a mission to carry on Terry’s cause, said Reid. “She ended up spending all of her time travelling the world to get the message out and to raise more and more research dollars.” She was strong willed and didn’t mince words, but she was also nurturing. “Betty was sort of everybody’s mom,” said Reid, adding she also kept the foundation on the right road. Now, there are more than 9,000 Terry Fox Runs taking place in every province in Canada every year. During the past handful of years, Graham and Doug Lamb have organized the race in Victoria. For the brothers, the race also has a special connection to their own mother. June Lamb died of cancer at age 51. “She started complaining about pain in her hip around Thanksgiving,” said Graham.

Terry Fox. “She met Terry,” he said. She also inspired her sons to stay healthy and stay active. This year, the brothers hope to attract 1,000 runners to Mile 0, a 50-per-cent jump over last year when the weather didn’t co-operate. “It was the worst downpour I’ve ever been in,” Graham said. He’s made a couple of changes this year to help bring out the crowds. For starters, the run begins at 10:30 a.m. rather than 9:00. Second, he’s combining the run with the annual Terry Fox Great Canadian Hairdo,” which used to take place on the Friday before the race. There is no minimum donation or fundraising to register for the run or haircut. The race itself has no budget as it’s entirely volunteer run. Volunteers themselves donate the money for any expenses such as city permits. “It’s tough to put this run on because we don’t have corporate sponsors,” Graham said. Some companies do contribute, he added, but many want recognition in exchange. Beyond a visible logo, no advertising is allowed at the event. “That’s not what Terry wanted. He was doing it for kids.” rholmen@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW
Show us that LRT money If B.C. Transit’s executives don’t want to come across as Lyle Lanley, they had better scale back their sales pitch and start working a little harder on ensuring local taxpayers get the transparency they’re demanding. Lanley was the silver-tongued pitchman for the monorail in one of the more memorable episodes of The Simpsons. If you’ve never seen the show, it’s enough to say the story of a love affair with a form of light rapid transit ended Transit needs badly. to curb its LRT In Greater Victoria, there’s no denying enthusiasm the vast majority of people would love to see LRT in our region. The promise of greener transportation that provides an alternative to getting mired in the Colwood Crawl is enthralling. However, taxpayers simply can’t go ahead with LRT regardless of the cost. And the big problem we’re seeing in the early stages of the plan is that big money is already being spent without any real accountability to the people who will foot the bill. A business report has already been completed at a cost of $3.1 million – an amount that came as a surprise to the regional transit commission, whose representatives we entrust with protecting the best interests of their communities. That cost was split between the province and local taxpayers, who fund the commission. Another $5 million, which may or may not also be shared by the feds, is already earmarked for a business case that will add details to the $1-billion plan for LRT. Before that money is spent, B.C. Transit needs to take a step back and reassure the public that it has secured federal and provincial grants to cover the cost of its grand plan. If it can’t, local taxpayers must be consulted on whether we’re willing to risk going ahead with the project without assurances that we won’t be left paying the bill – after it’s too late to rethink our LRT love affair.

mix of irony and sarcasm is critical. It can come across as angry, even hateful, if not done with care. At one time, satirical columns were common in newspapers but these days most editors are wary of risking the trust of readers. That, and the fact readers are inundated with websites that miss the mark when they attempt satire, but really deal in mock news that’s more misinformation than clever commentary. There are still great sources of satire, of course. Stephen Colbert remains hugely popular around the world and The Onion magazine’s website provides constant fodder for people to share through sites like Facebook. If you can relate to the Brits, the U.K. also continues to pump out comedians with that rare ability to skewer sacred institutions while tickling your funny bone. In Canada, Rick Mercer started his new season this week. Mercer’s rants consistently find that sweet spot between comedy and crassness. And locally I suppose we’ve seen successful satire with the nowretired Mr. Floatie and his campaign for sewage treatment. I’m curious what you think about the state of satire. I know many of our letter writers have a rapier-like wit and can take a poke at some of the issues affecting us on a regional, provincial or national level. Let’s see you try.

LETTERS Heggen cartoon hit the mark Ole Heggen (Opinion, Sept. 9) has done it again. His brilliant cartoon, Notable Moments: Former B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell, deftly summarizes many of the highlights of Mr. Campbell’s career including tearing up health workers’ legally binding contracts, being arrested for impaired driving and imposing the HST - followed by receipt of the Order of B.C. Perhaps the sale of B.C. Rail – after promising not to sell the W.A.C. Bennett legacy – is another clanger that one might add. Perhaps Mr. Heggen could produce another cartoon along the lines of the Monty Python “Confuse a Cat” skit regarding Premier Christy Clark and the

B.C. Liberals as the “Confuse a Cat” Ltd. – and the B.C. public as the cat that eventually walks away in disgust at the bizarre performance of the Liberals. Or how about Christy as an Olympic diver who perfects a double flip-flop with a twist including her families-first cliche and her various “fixes” of the HST? Surely Christy is the queen of flip-flops who claimed for six months she needed a mandate as premier, and now ignores her previous position as support for Adrian Dix and the New Democrats grows. Ron Faris Victoria
Deer have become residents of downtown Re: Backward thinking behind wildlife cull (Letters, Sept. 9) I was amused by letter writer Diana Monks’ remarks. She advised us “to avoid wildlife, I suggest you move to an urban centre, where you may be happier.” A week earlier I was almost run over by a four-point stag galloping out of a hedge in front of a parking lot on Birch Street. The deer ran into the street; luckily the traffic was stopped due to a red light. He eventually disappeared into the nearby park. It was a breathtaking experience. Ms. Monks advice about moving to an urban centre is of course silly and useless. In the past few years, deer have been spotted all over the downtown core, and I recall one even entered a children’s store. The real problem the deer create, apart from nibbling away at some backyard gardens, is drawing in the cougars. I hope I never see a cougar on Fort Street! Helene Harrison Victoria ■■■
Re: Backward thinking behind wildlife cull (Letters, Sept. 9) After reading Diana Monks’ letter I was glad that there is another
person who shares my view. I visited the Island and Vancouver from the United Kingdom and was overwhelmed with their beauty, but disappointed at seeing how development in the hills and forests is taking over. England had bears and cougars once. Now we can only see them at the zoo. Don’t let it happen here. I came over to see the bears and cougars and ventured into the wild at my own risk to see one but never did, although I heard many accounts of them being shot during my stay. I soon fly back to the United Kingdom with a different view of Victoria of becoming just another city full of development. I’m glad I saw some of its beauty before it is destroyed. If Diana or other people with the same views would like to email me for chats, I would be pleased to hear from them. My email is confield@ntlworld.com. Colin House United Kingdom

have been since 1969. The NDP is a party of which I have been proud to be a cardcarrying member. Lately, though, the party has made some questionable choices I find distasteful. We’ve got serious problems, and we need serious people, if we are to become a better party. Burning my membership card is one answer. If you want to talk about character and social values, fine. Just tell me where and when, and I’ll show up. But if this party is to truly evolve to be considered a government contender, it needs the right people at the helm, and the rhetoric and sleaze of late, must go. William Perry Victoria

or the most part, Daisy Irwin is a typical six-yearold. The Sooke youngster watches Scooby-Doo, takes swimming lessons, plays with Lego and adores Justin Bieber. In her bedroom, she’s got a Bieber CD on a loop on her boom box. She’s listened to the album so much, it’s started to skip, but that doesn’t stop her from dancing around the room and singing along. “I want to be a rock star.” For Daisy’s parents, Patrick and Emma Irwin, that kind of normalcy is critical. “She fought to be a regular kid, and that’s how we treat her,” “To this said Emma. day, she’s doing Daisy was just 10 weeks exceptionally when she well, but probably old was diagnosed not a day goes with not but by that you don’t one, two types of think about (her leukemia.

The transplant led to an acute bout with an ailment known as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), which caused Daisy’s immune system to essentially shut down. The survival rate for infant leukemia, particularly in children less than three months old, is about 20 per cent. But after eight months in the B.C. Children’s Hospital, including a month on a ventilator, Daisy was finally cleared to go home. “There were so many horrifying times, and it was really day-to-day, and it was a long series of miracles that contributed to her being here now,” said Emma. Daisy has now reached a point where she only has to undergo annual checkups -- “that stunned her doctors,” said Emma -- to make

It wasn’t long after coming home that the Irwins became involved with the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock. The 2011 ride marks Daisy’s fifth time as a member of the Tour’s junior team, which pairs childhood cancer patients -- and sometimes their siblings -- with one or more Tour riders. Daisy is one of 16 members of this year’s team. Three riders -- Cpl. Manon Chouinard of the Victoria RCMP, Cpl. Mary Brigham, a member of the Military Police Unit
at CFB Esquimalt, and CTV’s Louise Hartland -- have been matched up with her. Daisy has already been hard at work helping Chouinard with her fundraising efforts. In late August she and her eight-year-old sister Molly, who was once an honourary team member herself, spent the weekend in Sayward at a golf tournament and fishing derby that Chouinard had organized. Several other events are planned for the weeks leading up to the Tour, including a Flip-Flop Hop and a lemonade stand, but perhaps the highlight of it all will be when Daisy gets to help shave her sister’s head as part of what Emma calls “The Balding of Sooke.” The Irwins, who have a third
daughter, 10-month-old Violet, are more than happy to remain involved with the Tour, as well as Camp Goodtimes, which is partially funded by the annual ride. “She has a fantastic place where she can go in the summer,” Emma said. “There’s things that they can offer her that we never can, and we’re really happy to have that.” Daisy’s now getting to the age where she is beginning to understand her illness. Emma and Patrick know she will have more questions as she gets older, but as always, they will continue to raise her the same way they do her sisters. “That’s what you fight for, is normality.” editor@vicnews.com

The Vancouver Island Health Authority paid $822,981, and public post-secondary institutions in Greater Victoria paid $475,967. They include the University of Victoria, Camosun College and Royal Roads University. The Trust has funded projects to reduce emissions of some of B.C.’s biggest industrial carbon dioxide sources, which are, so far, exempt from B.C.’s carbon tax. Only one project has qualified for funding on the Island. TimberWest received money to conserve an old-growth forested area near Strathcona Provincial Park that would otherwise be harvested. The protected area will reduce 600,000 tonnes of carbon over three years. Lake said the B.C. government has started working on ways for public money to go to public projects. “I’m not sure where we’ll end up with it, but I think generally what we’ll see is some sort of fund within the Pacific Carbon Trust that’s dedicated to schools, to hospitals, so that money comes back to them to help reduce their carbon footprint.” editor@oakbaynews.com

Celebrate Mexican independence
A concert by the Diemahler String Quartet, featuring the music of Latin and Mexican composers, is being staged tomorrow (Sept. 17) to mark Mexico’s independence day. Mexico declared its independence from Spain on Sept. 16, 1810. The day is known as El Grito (the cry) and is celebrated with traditional food, music and dance. Saturday’s concert, presented by the Victoria Mexican Circle Association, happens at St. Mary’s church, 1701 Elgin Rd., starting at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at the McPherson box office or by calling 250-386-6121.
Urban life on canvas
Artist Abe Murley’s oil urban scenes will be on exhibit at Winchester Galleries, 2260 Oak Bay Ave., now until Sept. 24. Murley’s scenes are “a process of reflecting on my life and examining things in my life, the world around me and myself,” he says. His work is on display along with the seaside landscapes of late Maritime painter Joe Norris.
Landscapes show at Eclectic
Donna Ion’s large-format, acrylic abstract renderings of forests and grasslands show through Oct. 1 at Eclectic Gallery, 2170 Oak Bay Ave. In her interpretive works, Ion tries not to paint scenes, but to create a mood or memory in the viewer.

‘Sticker shock’ over LRT
hur s day
Report costs leave local mayors reeling Erin McCracken News staff
In a scene straight out of a classroom, Manuel Achadinha grabbed a marker and headed for the whiteboard at the front of the room. Members of the Victoria Regional Transit Commission and B.C. Transit staff watched Tuesday morning as B.C. Transit’s president and CEO drew three lines on the board, accompanied by a few key words, to plot out steps in the proposed $950-million light-rail rapid transit project. Commission members learned the LRT business report, now in the hands of B.C.’s Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, cost $3.1 million, money already been spent by the ministry and the commission. “It’s basically an application to get in the door,” said Achadinha, noting the report is a critical step in getting the province on board as a light rail cost-sharing partner, which could help secure federal financial support. The next phase of the project, which has not yet begun, will feature development of a $5-million business case to include legal, engineering, accounting and other project details. In addition to divvying up that cost between the commission and the province, B.C. Transit hopes the federal government will contribute. A third-party review will be conducted during that phase. But some commission members
balked when they heard the tally of the paperwork costs. Saanich Coun. Susan Brice called their reaction to the news “sticker shock.” It highlights the need for a new transit governance authority, said Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin, who serves on the commission. The push is on for the Capital Regional District to take over from the commission. “I think there are some decisions being made at the B.C. Transit board that should be shared with the commission members, and preferably before the decisions are being made,” he said. Frank Leonard couldn’t contain his disappointment and growing frustration at the meeting. The commission was told in 2008 the report would cost $700,000 to $800,000, not $3.1 million, said the Saanich mayor and commission member. “It’s like dealing with the Wizard of Oz,” said Leonard. “It’s all behind the curtain. There’s no transparency.” Despite the hefty price tags, it’s important to keep those report costs in perspective, said Oak Bay Mayor and commission chair, Christopher Causton. While the $7.1-million cost of planning a billion-dollar LRT service is expensive, it’s comparable to other big-ticket regional items, Causton said. “You’ve (already) spent $10 million on a billion-dollar sewage treatment plan.” emccracken@vicnews.com

Colwood’s Aquattro welcomes new residents Waterfront project offers trio of value, space and style
Basset hounds gather for blessing & picnic Basset hound owners are invited to bring their pooches for an end-ofsummer picnic Saturday, Sept. 24. The Blessing of the Hounds by the Franciscan Friars begins at 10:30 a.m., followed by the Basset Hound Picnic at 11 a.m. at Dominion Brook Park, East Saanich Road, just south of the Panorama Rec Centre. All Basset lovers and owners are welcome. The picnic is potluck – bring finger foods such as appies, veggies and dip, cheese and crackers and soft drinks. Talented Bassets will entertain with tricks and games, with doggie treat prizes on offer.

Colwood’s Aquattro development invites homebuyers to explore the newest release from the waterfront project, featuring homes ranging from one to three bedrooms, plus dens, with floorplans from 737 to 2,530 square feet. This ocean-side property offers beautiful views of Esquimalt Lagoon, the Olympic Mountains and the city, with on-site streams and connection to old growth forest trails through the historic Hatley Castle and Royal Roads University. Following a well-received release of smaller homes, buyers looking for something larger will find a unique product at Aquattro, says Robert Marchand, Residential Sales and Marketing Director of Anthem Realty. Perfect for professionals or retirees who want more space without the upkeep of a single-family home, the condominiums feature a geo-thermal system for energyefficient, comfortable heating and cooling, elegant details such as granite countertops and luxury brands like Fisher & Paykel, Faber, Asko and Kohler. “These units are spectacular both in price and qual-
Elegant, spacious interiors are a main feature of the Aquattro development.
ity and given the long-term positive outlook of the Victoria market, we anticipate the units will be of interest to buyers looking for a unique place to call home that enhances their quality of life,” Marchand says. “Aquattro offers the best in luxury waterfront living. There is nothing of comparable value in the Greater Victoria marketplace when it comes to location, design and comfort.” Each unit at Aquattro has been designed for buyers looking for spacious homes in a private, natural set-
ting. The starting price for a one-bedroom and den at 737 sq. ft. is $349,900. Aquattro’s project team includes Victoria-based Number TEN Architectural Group and Farmer Construction, along with interior design by False Creek Design Group. Embracing the natural beauty of the surrounding area, all architectural and interior spaces are orientated to maximize the sight lines to the Esquimalt Lagoon and the Pacific Ocean. Throughout the project, designers aimed to create spectacular buildings in Cont. on page 17

1 out of 3 Canadians suffer from Thyroid Disease! The most common form of Thyroid Disease is low thyroid. Consider low thyroid function if you experience fatigue or sluggishness, hair or eyebrow loss, weight gain or coldness in your extremities. Clinically low thyroid, as confirmed by your doctor, requires prescription medication. However, supplementing a healthy diet with ThyroSense® will help promote balance to your thyroid. ThyroSense® is recommended by health professionals to help with the symptoms of low thyroid, and is safe to use for those already on medication for low thyroid.
Cranky? PMS? Bloated? Acne? Up to 80% of all women are estimated to experience symptoms of PMS during their reproductive years. The most prominent cause of hormone imbalance related symptoms is excessive estrogen, including exposure to the birth control pill, pesticides and other environmental toxins. Symptoms can include PMS, endometriosis, fibrocystic breast disease, heavy and painful periods, hormonal acne and more… EstroSense® is recommended by health professionals and contains natural ingredients to help reduce the symptoms of estrogen dominance.
What health professionals are saying about EstroSense… In my practice I highly recommend EstroSense for women suffering estrogen dominance with conditions such as PMS, heavy periods, endometriosis, fibrocystic breasts, perimenopause and those women using any hormone supplements.

Taking time away from touring might seem odd with a relatively new album out – Bright Morning Stars was released in February. Mehta, the young mom, said family commitments mainly prompted the break.

Concertgoers attending the Wailin Jennys performance Sunday (Sept. 18) in Victoria may find themselves with a stiff neck afterward. A veritable who’s who of local folk music stars could well be taking in the concert, a product of the Jennys’ relationship with the Island folk scene. “We’ve been coming to Victoria since the band started out 10 years ago,” said original member Nicky Mehta, who provides the mezzo-soprano voice for the trio’s

as The Bills, fiddle player Adrian Dolan, bassist Oliver Swain and others. “We’ve got so many good memories of playing in Victoria,” Winnipeg native Mehta said from California, where she lives part of the
month by Swain and friends. For the Victoria show the trio – Mehta plays acoustic guitar, harmonica, drums and ukulele; Moody plays guitar, accordion, banjo and bodhrán, while New York-based Masse lays down the bottom line – will be joined by violin and mandolin player Trent Freeman of Vancouver. They’ll play a number of pieces from their latest CD. The feel of the album is slightly different, given the jazz-trained Masse’s influences, Mehta said, but contains the familiar smooth vocal lines fans of the band have come to know since they debuted in 2004 with 40 Days.

Rifflandia 2011: into the wide open spaces
ARTS EVENTS
Royal Athletic Park to host up to 7,000 concertgoers for day performances
Final You Show play transcends abuse
Travis Paterson News staff
Without a proper roll of packing tape, Nick Blasko is hesitant to affix a Rifflandia poster to the clutter of ads adorning the base of a Johnson Street lamppost. Long before Blasko was a lead organizer with Atomique Productions, which is staging the Rifflandia music festival Sept. 22 to 25 in Victoria, he was taping posters on city power poles. “That’s where it started.” Today he’s still that guy, though he admits poster duties are now in the capable hands of the next generation. The full-colour, 108-page guide for Rifflandia 2011 is a magazine of previews and features clearly influenced by the art and design seen in street posters. It’s the magazine of choice in coffee shops and waiting areas downtown these days and is the fruit of a deadline met with “non-stop over-nighters,” Blasko said. “We lived with the production of the guide for so long – you just pray you don’t have a typo on the front page.” The guide is also full of even more big-name acts. Rifflandia has moved its main venue outside and has sold nearly double last year’s 3,250 passes. “This

year is all about the day festival at Royal Athletic Park,” Blasko said. “We’ve focused heavily on making it a full day’s affair. No one should be bored or want to leave early.” In only its fourth year, Rifflandia is beginning to be mentioned as one of the premier music festivals in the Pacific Northwest. RAP will handle up to 7,000 people daily. Combined with nighttime venues, overall ticket sales could surpass 10,000. Seven venues will host four shows nightly beginning at 8:30 p.m., around the time RAP

headliners Broken Social Scene (Friday), City and Colour (Saturday) and De La Soul (Sunday) wrap things up. To accommodate both day and nighttime concertgoers, Rifflandia offers alternatives for festival admission. Instead of forcing patrons hopping from one bar to the next to purchase an all-events wristband, Atomique has “sliced and diced” the options into park passes and night passes. The one-for-all, super pass to the park and night stages is still the prime ticket at $165. How-

ever, a single-day pass to RAP is $75, while a night-stage only pass for the weekend is $55. Blasko hopes the change will eliminate the criticism of years past – that venues for particular acts filled up and left concerthopping fans on the street. RAP’s main stage will feature five acts per day and five more running simultaneous on a side stage. The park will also host a cinema tent, Artlandia exhibit tent and a beer garden. Night venues are Phillips Brewery, Club 9one9, Sugar nightclub, Victoria Event Centre, Lucky Bar, Metro Theatre and the Victoria Conservatory of Music’s Alix Goolden and Wood halls.

Joining Walker on stage is Zopyra Theatre’s artistic director Emma Zabloski, as well as Marina Lagace who was in Blue Bridge Theatre’s Fire this year, Carol Adamson from the Fringe Festival’s The Tirades of Love, Kimara Brilling and a chicken named Isabella.

Rams size up southern visitors
Chargers basketball team to host tip-off dinner
Mt. Doug’s offence powerful in the air and on the ground Travis Paterson News staff
With a varsity squad of just 24 players, you’ll have to excuse the Mount Douglas Rams for their lack of size. Thankfully, there’s no lack of talent. The AAA football team lost a “track meet” in its home opener against the W.J. Mouat Hawks of Abbotsford on Friday, 53-47. “We’re both highly competitive teams, them No. 3 ranked and us No. 2, but I wouldn’t have predicted 100 points, not at all,” Rams coach Mark Townsend said. Townsend moves into the role as senior coach this season after guiding the junior squad to the AAA provincial championship last year and the AA championship in 2009. “Defensively I’d like to see us swarm the football with a few more tacklers. I’d also like to see more turnovers from the defence,” Townsend said. “We turned it over three times but only created one turnover.” On Sept. 16, the Rams celebrate the high school game
BAY NEWS
in traditional U.S. style with a Friday Night Lights theme at Royal Athletic Park. At 7 p.m. the senior team hosts Bainbridge High School, “a strong AAA team from Seattle.” “We’re really excited about it. It’s the first time we’ve hosted a U.S. team in Victoria,” Townsend said. “(Bainbridge) is a very good team, bringing 60-70 varsity players. They’ll be a very, very tough team and we expect a big challenge.”
“At just 24 varsity players ... we’re up against some much bigger teams – 40, 50, and 60 players – but we’re lucky with the talent we have.”
– coach Mark Townsend
To bolster team morale the Rams’ are promoting a white-out, inviting supporers to wear a white shirt to the game and handing out 100 white towels to fans. There’s little doubt the Rams have the offence nec-

The Grade 12 student has two of the best backfield options in B.C. with running backs Mason Swift and Terrell Davis. In the air, Deverill is equally blessed with Taylor Young, who made eight receptions for 86 yards and three touchdowns on Friday. And then there’s Terrell’s younger brother Marcus. As a Grade 10, Marcus is in his first year on the senior squad. In less than half the game against Mouat he caught two passes for 50 yards and made a defensive interception. “We’re up against some much bigger teams -- 40, 50, and 60 players -- but we’re lucky with the talent we have,” Townsend said. “We’re very blessed with (the running tandem of) Mason and Terrell, whether

College sports welcome new PacWest title Fans of B.C. collegiate sports can say bye-bye to the tongue-twisting title of BCCAA and hello to the much sleeker PacWest. The B.C. Colleges’ Athletic Association has dumped its former, nerdier sports acronym in favour of the Pacific Western Athletic Association. The new name represents both colleges and universities in B.C. including the Camosun Chargers athletic teams. “We feel the PacWest name does an excellent job of identifying who we are and what we do and
Newly unveiled logo for the PacWest. will give us a significant advantage as we implement our marketing plans,” said PacWest presi-
dent Bruce Hunter in a press release. A total of 14 schools compete in the PacWest, with the Chargers competing in volleyball, basketball and golf. The league’s website has also been updated to www.pacwestbc.ca. The new name is borrowed from but shouldn’t be mistaken for the neighbouring NCAA PacWest conference that includes teams from Arizona, California, Hawai’i and Utah. sports@vicnews.com
The Camosun College Chargers men’s and women’s basketball teams are hosting the fifth-annual Tip-Off Dinner at the Harbour Towers Hotel on Friday, Sept. 23. Speaking at the fundraiser is coaching legend Don Horwood. A Newfoundland product, Horwood coached the Oak Bay High basketball team to three B.C. championships between 1973 to 1978. He then coached at Spectrum Community school from 1979 to 1983. Horwood eventually took over the University of Alberta Golden Bears men’s basketball team and won three national titles, with seven runner-up appearances at the CIS championships. Tryouts for the 2011-12 Chargers men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball teams are underway. Everything raised at the Tip-Off Dinner goes to the student-athlete scholarship fund for Chargers basketball. For tickets contact women’s coach Brett Westcott at westcott@ shaw.ca and 250-3889807, or men’s coach Craig Price at pricew@ gmail.com and 250-5321265.

And compality such as Saanich Com-
pared to those at many of the new schools joining the CIS, we don’t want UVic getting laughed at by an athlete from some newly approved CIS . There seems to be a misconception, however, that the centre’s new parkade is a separate part of the approval process. The buildings go together in a package deal. Around $59 million will go to a 2,100-seat spectator gym, a multipurpose field house, state-of-the-art weight training and fitness space, squash and racquet courts, a climbing tower, related office and activity spaces and an office and laboratory space for CanAssist, whose expanded special services will benefit the community. Another $18 million is slated for the seven level parkade, which would replace the 234 existing parking spots with a building capable of holding 505 vehicles. There also seems to be some confusion that the parkade would be unattractive. This along a road that always seems to be under construction. Saggy orange fencing, weedy asphalt and giant muddy areas come to mind when picturing the drive along McKenzie and the
entrance to the proposed site just inside Gabriola Road. The traffic concern from neighbours is valid. It’s certainly a right for all the school’s neighbours to have a smooth evacuation out of their quiet and charming neighborhoods. And while UVic is actively trying to wean itself from cardependent transportation, no one expects residents of Cadboro Bay to give up driving. Greater Victoria as a whole is in the early stages of the same thing (see the CRD’s new $275 million cycling and pedestrian master plan). But it’ll be many years from now, if ever, before an electric street car zips up the hill on Sinclair, heading to UVic. So whether McKenzie needs to become a four-lane street or have a magical bypass from Gordon Head Road to Cadboro Bay (for residents only, of course) dropped down by NASA helicopters, let’s hope UVic gets permission to build its self-funded facility and sends even more of our kids to provincial, national and Olympic glory. sports@vicnews.com - Travis Paterson is the sports reporter for the Black Press in Greater Victoria

Westshore Rebels quarterback Cat Todorovich is hit by V.I. Raiders linebacker Glenn Boyce in Nanaimo last week.
Rebels hunt to hold third As the Westshore Rebels season begins to wind down in the B.C. junior football conference, the hunt for third spot, thereby clinching a top-four playoff berth, becomes ever more intense. This Saturday (Sept. 17) the Rebels host the Okanagan Sun, 7 p.m. at Bear Mountain Stadium in Langford. The Sun (5-1) are second in the league ahead of the Rebels and Langley Rams, both of which are tired for third spot (3-3). Last week Westshore fell to the Vancouver Island Raiders in Nanaimo 52-8. sports@vicnews.com
