Non-profits clawing back gaming grants
Two years ago and without notice, gaming grants for Carnarvon/Allenby/ Firemen’s Baseball and Softball were slashed from $60 per player to $10. To make up the difference, the association, which serves boys and girls, had to increase its registration fee the following year. This year, grants were bumped back up to $50 per player. “It’s critical that we know (what to expect),” association president Fraser Campbell said.

nity groups could be what non-profit groups need for consistency and planning come budget time, he added. The Community Gaming Grant Review, announced Monday by Premier Christy Clark, is to deliver a topto-bottom assessment of the system and determine options to “create certainty and sustainability” for affected non-profit groups and charities. It will be headed by former Kwantlen University president Skip Triplett. Many groups were outraged in 2009 when the province cut grants to community groups from $156 million to $120 million a year. That was raised to $135 million this spring after Clark took office. Intrepid Theatre general manager Ian Case has been vocal locally about the gaming grant cuts and how they affected community arts groups. His own organization lost about $63,000 in

grants in two years. As a result, Intrepid stripped its UNO Fest program “to the bone” – although its Fringe Festival wasn’t touched. “I hope there will be a clear formula for how the money will be given to the non-profit sector,” said Case, adding such a move would contribute to an organization’s sustainability. “There needs to be recognition of what adult arts and sports bring to the table. I know there is lots of research that shows involvement in (those sectors) makes major improvements to communities.” Susan Marsden, president of the B.C. Association for Charitable Gaming, characterized the raid two years ago as an attack on non-profits, particularly those in arts and culture. PLEASE SEE: Gaming grant process, Page A6
What began as a request for a paving variance for two proposed homes on Transit Road led to a neighbourhood open mic night Monday at the municipal hall. Residents said the homes, as designed, would ruin the ambiance of the area, be visually unappealing and be too large to fit the prevailing style on their street. Oak Bay councillors’ hands are tied in terms of changing the design or size of the houses slated for 519 and 521 Transit Rd. Nonetheless, residents used the paving variance application as an inroad to voice their disapproval. After listening to neighbours’ concerns, council unanimously rejected both permits. Developer Chris Foyd of 519 Design Build said Tuesday that his company plans to redesign the house proposed for the lower portion of the hilly property as a way to reduce the amount of driveway pavement needed. One house currently sits on the property. “The (new) houses themselves are conforming. It’s the placement of the pavement and the parking that needs to be addressed,” Foyd said. The proposed houses are 3,295 square feet and 2,385 sq. ft., respectively. Most homes on the street are between 1,500 and 3,000 sq. ft. “I’m worried abut the drainage of water, as I live right across from them on a slope,” Larry MacDonald told councillors. “I am (also) worried about visual intrusion.” Coun. Pam Copley said she would like to see more cooperation between the developers and the residents. “I actually like the design in concept, but … I am not living there and not living next to it,” she said. Transit Street resident Valerie Wyatt was happy councillors listened to neighbours’ concerns over the massing of the houses. “It’s up to the residents to protect the community,” she said. The developers will have to resubmit new plans for the proposal, without any variance applications. editor@oakbaynews.com

Woodworker Harvey Brooks turns a bowl in advance of next week’s night market.
Artists prep for market Shelley Lipke News staff
It takes a keen eye, a steady hand and a lot of practice to turn a wooden block into a finely crafted bowl. Wood turner Harvey Brooks has delicately shaped thousands of them over the past 18 years. In his Fernwood shop, he’s busy finishing bowls for his display at the July 20 Oak Bay Village Night Market. “I love working with wood because every piece is individual,” said Brooks, who is selftaught. “No two pieces are the same, no two pieces will react the same, and no two pieces will look the same when they are finished.” Eighty-five artists, performers and vendors will join Brooks at the second monthly market of the season, on from 4 to 8 p.m. Wednesday. The Morris Dancers, Scottish fiddler Gavin Duncan and magician Paul Kilshaw will provide entertainment, and a fundraising barbecue will be held for Cops for Cancer donations. editor@oakbaynews.com

The province won’t soften its 10-month-old roadside administrative penalties for impaired driving, citing a 50-per-cent drop in drunk driving deaths since the rules took effect. Nor will it embark on a public information campaign previously pledged to help revelers decide how much they can drink before they might exceed the lower blood-alcohol limit of 0.05 if caught behind the wheel. Preliminary numbers show 30 deaths in alcohol-related crashes in the first seven months of the new regulations, down from an average of 61 fatalities in the same October-to-April period of the previous five years. Police credit the new regulations – with the threat of stiff fines and car impoundments – for the improved driving safety record. Police can now impose an immediate penalty on any driver who blows in the “warn” range between 0.05 and 0.08. Instead of issuing a 24-hour suspension or a formal impaired charge, police can impose a 90-day driving ban, a $500 fine

‘Yes’ man speaks out HST opponent takes fight to Greater Victoria roadways Edward Hill
PST makes sense for businesses and consumers. He said the PST was a notoriously complicated tax riddled with loopholes and built on a series of arbitrary exemptions. He acknowledged that some consumers might ultimately pay more under the HST, but noted there are rebate cheques for low-income people. “Consumers pay one way or the other, but the PST had a lot of hidden taxes passed on in prices. HST is more transparent and fair,” Jagger said. “We don’t have an option of not paying tax, but the HST is simply a better tax system.” Jagger credits the HST with being able to reinvest in his business, including hiring more employees, which he expects will be a common theme for many businesses in B.C.

Finding a patch of soft earth, Brad Slade spikes his blue anti-harmonized sales tax sign into the side of the road. Looking at its message, he never thought he’d be a “yes” man. Slade was a key anti-HST organizer in Greater Victoria during last year’s provincewide campaign that triggered the HST referendum. He is still working at keeping the controversial tax in the public eye. The View Royal resident has been lining the highways of the Capital Region with “vote yes to extinguish the HST” signs, a project he started after seeing pro-HST ads on TV during the Stanley Cup playoffs. Getting permission from the Ministry of Transportation to line the TransCanada and Pat Bay highways with signs wasn’t easy, since the rules governing referendum messaging were an unknown quantity. Ministry managers were scratching their heads for weeks trying to figure out how to deal with Slade’s request. He continued to press the transportation minister’s office for an answer. “Eventually they told me they’d treat it like election signage,” he said. “Needless to say, I was jumping for joy.” The sign request has set a precedent locally. After mulling the issues, Victoria, View Royal, Metchosin, Sooke, Esquimalt and Saanich also gave the OK for Slade to post referendum signs on municipal roadways.

Panel expects HST to help economy, create jobs An independent panel that studied the ramifications of the B.C. HST expects families to pay an average of $350 more per year, with roughly 17 per cent of goods and services taxed higher under HST. Rent, most groceries and fuel are the same, but items such as home repair, restaurant meals and professional services cost more. The panel report noted that under PST, businesses tended to pass on an “invisible” seven per cent on consumer goods to offset tax paid by the business when it purchased those goods as wholesale. The HST should help push prices down, the report said. The panel also expects the HST to ramp up economic growth, wages and employment over time, and that moving back to PST-GST would have negative consequences. At the same time, it reported, the HST will impact consumers’ bottom line – after rebates and tax credits, B.C. residents will pay $1.33 billion more in sales tax and businesses will pay about $730 million less in tax in 2011-12. “Our consensus is the HST will be a net benefit to the economy. But (don’t) expect dramatic results overnight,” the report concluded. editor@goldstreamnews.com

ties funded again to the levels they were in 2008,” Marsden said. “In the long term, we need to look at stability, at legislation that enshrines the funding formula.” She praised Clark for delivering on her pledge of a review and said the terms of reference are acceptable – except that Triplett won’t report until the end of October. “I don’t know if there will be any charities left to fund once they get around to putting anything into legislation, not to mention there may be an election in between.” More than two thirds of the $1-billion a year in revenue that comes Ida Chong to the province from gambling goes into general revenue, with another $147 million dedicated to health funding, $82 million shared with cities that host casinos or community gaming centres and the rest is shared with community groups. Charities have often been enlisted to voice their support for gaming when new casinos or slot machine venues have been proposed. The review will collect input from charities, individuals, industry reps and local government. “This review is not just about how much money we can share,” said Ida Chong, Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. “It’s about the process we use to decide together who should have access to this funding, what we can do with it and how we are accountable for it.” For more information, including upcoming community forums, please visit www.community gaminggrantreview.gov.bc.ca. – with files from Jeff Nagel ecardone@vicnews.com

Fighting isolation Parkinson’s hidden challenge Natalie North News staff
The University of Victoria’s efforts to keep seniors and people with disabilities independent is $3.5 million closer to reaching that goal, thanks to provincial support for two webbased programs. Tyze Personal Networks will lead a $3-million project called Connect for Care, developed in partnership with UVic’s CanAssist and the PLAN Institute for Caring Citizenship. The simplified and tailored features of Connect for Care include video chat, mobile collaboration tools and secure systems for sharing personal and healthcare files to build personal support networks among health-care providers, clients and their families. The remaining $500,000 will fund CanFITT, a similar prototype program, now in development through CanAssist and the Vancouver Island Health Authority. editor@oakbaynews.com

■ Parkinson’s disease, afflicting 6.3 million people worldwide, is caused by a breakdown of nerve cells in the brain responsible for making the chemical dopamine, which communicates with the areas of the brain associated with movement. ■ There is no known cause or cure, but medications can control the symptoms, which include tremors, stiff muscles, slow movement and problems with balance or walking. ■ It’s more common in men than women. ■ Symptoms of Parkinson’s usually appear in people between 50 and 60 years of age. ■ Five to 10 per cent of cases are early onset (diagnosed between age 30 and 40). ■ 1,200 people in Greater Victoria have Parkinson’s. ■ 40 per cent of people with Parkinson’s are clinically depressed. ■ For details about the Victoria Epilepsy and Parkinson’s Centre, visit www.vepc.bc.ca.

Tony Wade sits on the edge of his leather recliner, his head and shoulders bent towards the dog at his feet. Sydney, an international champion spaniel, is old and doesn’t often listen to his master, Wade says, struggling to get his own body to obey. It’s been eight years since he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. “Dinner parties become a problem because quite often you get a swallowing problem with Parkinson’s and if you choke on peoples’ cooking, it’s not terribly good,” he says. The 64-year-old United Kingdom import will admit to getting “a bit black” (angry) when his medication doesn’t control his symptoms,
but Wade rarely forgets to punctuate each of his comments with a joke. This holds true even as he outlines the various ways in which Parkinson’s increases the risk of social isolation. “The other thing I noticed – if I fall asleep, don’t worry – it is (just) fatigue,” he says. Uncertainty around when medications will work and when they’ll wear off, the inability to drive and hindered communication through loss of facial expressions can add up to loneliness for those with the disease. That’s where the Victoria Epilepsy and Parkinson’s Centre comes in. Since moving to Victoria in 2006, the ex-strategic planner for the United Nations has transitioned from his role as a volunteer on the Parkinson’s centre’s board of
and regular exercise classes, Wade isn’t part of the most at-risk demographic. Still, he relies on the centre for what he calls “a holistic approach” to treatment. Through support groups and information available on site, newly diagnosed clients are able to connect with a network of medical resources and social contacts. Wade makes clear that his positive attitude, despite lost gardening or woodworking time, is something he shares with a surprising number of clients. “It’s said not to be a life-threatening disease, because it, itself, will not kill you, but it does in a way, because something you have to do doesn’t work any more,” Wade says, later adding: “If you don’t have somewhere like VEPC to go to, you don’t actually know where to start.”

OUR VIEW
Public ahead of politicians Count drinking and driving as another element of the 20th century’s car culture that’s been left behind in the 21st century. Earlier this week the province made the obvious decision to keep tough rules introduced 10 months ago that have worked to curb the carnage caused by intoxicated drivers. Tougher laws Across B.C., there more in line with have been 30 deaths in modern attitudes a seven-month period that averaged 61 fatalities in each of the previous five years. This is more than enough evidence to keep the laws as they are -- there had been talk of easing the rules after bars and restaurants complained the laws were too harsh and hurt business. However, while this has been somewhat true, we’ve also witnessed an evolution in how people think about their drink. Whether switching from boozy beverages to mocktails or planning an alternative way to get home, the general public appears to have adapted to the new reality. Part of this can be attributed to fear of getting caught, but we’d like to think it also signals a sea change in society. Younger generations have grown up being told about the dangers of drunk driving and their education has rubbed off on older citizens. The days of glorifying gas guzzlers are long gone. City planners looking at ways to keep people out of vehicles rather than planning urban freeways. And driving and drinking, once far too common, is also a relic of an archaic time. Taxis, bus service and even courtesy rides from good Samaritan organizations are now readily available for people who want to go out for a drink and get home without driving. The message is clear: There are options to avoid hitting the road hammered. These tougher rules work and it’s time for all B.C. drivers to work with them. What do you think?

The trail has deluxe composting toilets, bear bins, cable cars, ferries and two restaurants. There’s cellphone service and rescuers in zodiacs to evacuate the injured. Still, seven days of hiking for six to ten hours per day can be described as nothing short of an endurance test. My group started on the easy end, closer to Bamfeild. We had three long, easy days hiking along beaches (including bare foot for a stretch), before hitting the infamous 100-rung ladder section and other challenging terrain closer to Port Renfrew.

LETTERS Readers respond: What about the shifty implementation? It seems to me the biggest issue in the HST debate is being politely avoided both in the press and in the government literature. B.C. residents were exceedingly offended when the newly re-elected Campbell government announced the introduction of this tax without mentioning this major policy change in their election campaign. It was not debated in the legislature and received very little discussion in the press. Citizens of B.C. felt so angry and powerless that they were willing to be rallied by a highly unpopular former premier with his Fight HST campaign. Our income tax laws are more complex than our criminal justice laws. Over the decades, politicians have fiddled with the income tax system to gain favour from the voters, and indeed this continues with the federal government recently tweaking the system with transit credits, health and fitness credits, etc. I personally know a number of people that have not filed income tax returns because they are intimated by the process. Consumption taxes on the other hand are fairly straightforward and hopefully will remain so. The burden of collecting and remitting the taxes falls on businesses and not individual citizens. Those that consume more, pay more tax. Many B.C. residents will vote to reject the HST because they are angry with the way the tax was implemented and want to teach the Liberal government a lesson. To my way of thinking, that is like taking a sledgehammer to a new car because you didn’t like the salesman or dealership you bought the car from. Please cast your vote in the upcoming referendum according to the tax issues. The matter at hand is too important to the province’s financial future to be used simply as another opportunity to chastise the Liberal government over its introduction of the HST. William Miller Saanich
Pro-HST ads are misleading to voters I am absolutely livid about the B.C. government’s advertising regarding the HST versus the GST and PST. Are they not attempting to influence voters (which they said they would not be doing) by stating the HST is 10 per cent, while the GST and PST equal 12 per cent? If this isn’t influencing the voters, I don’t know what else to call it.
HST, transit, Gaza
They make no mention that it will be three years before the HST is at 10 per cent and they also do not mention that the PST is not applied to various services such as restaurant dining and hair cuts and many small trades’ work, whereas the HST is on such things. The way the referendum question is worded is not very clear and they have attempted by this wording to have people misread it and answer no when they really mean yes to extinguish the HST. This was purposely done in my opinion. I strongly resent my tax dollars being used to fund this dishonest and deceitful advertising. Where is a third party to vote for come next election? M. Blainey Saanich
my new transfer once. Oneway travel only! I was so angry that I had to use three bus tickets in 1.5 hours of travel. I used to be able to get three or four quick errands done and be home within my transfer expiry time. This cost me twice my regular cost and I was very disappointed with my bus service for the first time and felt let down by B.C. Transit. I don’t get any savings for disability as I can walk, don’t need a wheelchair or an escort which is fine but did they have to triple my cost for a couple of quick doctors appointments, and a couple of store errands? Does B.C. Transit want more people to ride the bus or not? Maybe they think more auto traffic is better. Goldie Cox Victoria
Shift government offices to Langford
Flotilla’s aid hitting wrong target
From time to time I am caught in the traffic congestion leading into Victoria. Only by rescheduling my day can I avoid it. It seems that many commuters are government workers heading to their downtown offices and home again at the end of the day. Does it not make sense for some of these offices to relocate into empty office spaces in the West Shore? Would this not remove thousands of cars from the Trans-Canada Highway beyond the Langford turn offs? It may seem simplistic, but fewer downtown commuters should mean fewer cars funneling into Victoria. Larry Smeltzer Langford
Israel’s encroachment on Palestinian territory is much like our invasion of Canada’s native people, except our natives are probably much worse off – they suffer from low life expectancy, suffer from diseases and live in poverty. But I guess it is only human nature to send supplies to the Gaza strip instead of to those we have ravished – it feels better to point the finger at someone else than at ourselves. Andy Mulcahy Langford
Bus fare increases cut into fixed incomes I write to you today as I know that there are many Victorians feeling much like I do. I hear comments from people at bus stops and also boarding the bus. We feel B.C. Transit has become greedy. OK, I’m sure they have some higher expenses to maintain our busses and keep them fuelled, but for golly sakes, we as the riders have the right to go about our costly lives as well! I have epilepsy and have not been able to drive or work for the last year and a half. I must use the bus to get my daily errands done. I don’t ride enough in a week to warrant a monthly pass, but I do buy bus tickets regularly. I rode from Victoria General Hospital to downtown and received one of the new bus transfers from the driver. I went about my errands throughout the city to find I could only use

Raven Coal mine could present a ‘calamity’ From minehead near Union Bay to the coal port in Port Alberni, and all along the route in between, the proposed Raven Coal Mine in the Comox Valley is drastically riddled with hazards. Risks to human health, to water tables and water quality, to wildlife, fish, and shellfish from toxic mine tailings, to public safety from coal truck tandems travelling 24-7 on winding highway corridors from Qualicum to Port Alberni, to the dredging up of toxic dioxins and furans to “enhance” the coal port facilities at Port Alberni; these are probably the most significant. To add insult to injury, we are told that the metallurgical coal produced at this proposed project would not be used for Canadian steelmaking but rather shipped to Asia for their steel production. An independent ecological risk assessment is essential, as is an urban risk assessment. Lacking these, the proposal is a calamity-in-waiting and should be turfed ASAP.

Double Robbery
In the evening of both June 15 (7:41 p.m.) and June 16 (7:10 p.m.), the Subway restaurant at 1568 Fort St. was robbed. In both cases the suspect produced a small knife and demanded $100 from the cashier. It appears the same person committed both robberies. On both occasions he stated he needed the money for his daughter, who was in the hospital and she wasn’t doing very well. The suspect is described as approximated six feet tall, in his 40s, with a short, scruffy beard that was dark mixed with grey. During the first robbery he wore a black baseball hat, sunglasses and a dark green army style jacket. During the second robbery, he wore a beige toque with coloured stripes, sunglasses and a light-coloured jacket.

Paint-In: chance for artists to shine Shelley Lipke News staff
Nature landscape painter Jeffrey Boron remembers his first experience with the TD Art Gallery Moss Street Paint-In. “It’s like being put into a carnival of light and colour,” he said. “It gives an artist a feeling (that) ‘yes, it does matter what I’m doing. Look at all these people who have come out to see my work.’” For Boron, who will participate in his sixth Paint-In this Saturday (July 16), the creative process began at age six. He remembers sitting at the dining room table painting tree after tree until his family asked, ‘Why don’t you paint something else?’ “I guess where I grew up, trees were a significant part of the landscape,” said Boron of the towering elm trees in Southern Ontario. Each year he strives to complete 100 paintings. As an avid outdoor and marine enthusiast, he never has a shortage of subjects. “I paint generally very heavy – Impressionistic, you may say. I describe my work as Canadian

West Coast Impressionism. “Primarily I’m looking for light. If I’m walking along and I see something that hits me with light, or contrast between dark and light and colour, I always have my camera with me to take photo references. If I am painting outside I know when the camas lilies should be blooming, so I might go to Uplands Park to paint them.” Although he’s used watercolours and acrylics before, these
days he’s sticks with oils, due to their vibrancy and texture and the feel of the medium in his strokes. Each year the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria receives hundreds of submissions from artists who want to be part of the Paint-In. Last year more than 35,000 visitors wandered up and down Moss Street between Dallas Road and Fort Street, mingling with artists and viewing their paintings, sculptures, pottery and carvings and
taking in mini-workshops and performances. Getting accepted is a competitive process. There are 150 artists allowed each year, 25 per cent of whom are new or emerging artists selected by a jury. “I am astonished every year that we have been able to keep that practice up,” said event co-ordinator Mary-Ellen Threadkell. “As you can imagine, there are always disappointed artists who don’t make it in, but there are many stories of success following multiple applications. The gallery and the artists want the Paint-In to represent the best of the year’s applicants.” Paper machier sculpture artist Jen Wright is excitedly gearing up for her first year at Paint-In, where she’ll display her sculptures and paintings. She crafts a range of pieces reflecting peace, such as a dog stretching or a sleeping horse. “I am thrilled to be included in the Moss Street Paint-In. I’m busy getting organized. It’s hard to decide what to bring. I’m worried that I’ll leave some crucial tool
behind and have trouble demonstrating,” she said. “I’m hoping to have fun and get a chance to share my work.” editor@oakbaynews.com

Carr-inspired contest invites varying genres A new visual arts competition aims to reignite the region’s love affair with Emily Carr. The Underlying Spirit, spearheaded by the Victoria College of Art and held in partnership with various other local arts and cultural organizations, offers an opportunity to pay homage to the legendary West Coast artist. “We really are in the long-standing tradition of West Coast art here,” said college director Peter Such. “Our whole feeling is we are a world art centre that hasn’t been recognized as that – a whole, big art culture.” The competition, which is free to enter and open to visual artists from painters to sculptors and all mediums in between, was inspired by a line from Carr’s journal: “There is something bigger than fact: the underlying spirit, all it stands for, the mood, the vastness, the wildness.” The judges will be looking not for replications of Carr’s art, Such said, but works that embody the connection she felt from her natural and cultural surroundings on the West Coast. “I like anything that inspires an awe and beauty, and reflects the people’s environment and society and culture and personality – and also adds a fresh understanding of human life.” Such will be joined on the judges panel by wellknown arts figures Kerry Mason, Martin Segger, Fran Willis and Michael Warren, as well as Emily Carr House manager Jan Ross. The top 35 works will be shown at Madrona Gallery starting Sept. 9. From there, the top three pieces will receive prizes of $1,000 for first place, $500 for second and $250 for third. The deadline for submissions is Friday, Aug. 19. See entry details at www.vca.ca/the_underlying_spirit or call 250598-5422 or email info@vca.ca. editor@oakbaynews.com

High tech comes home to historic Vic West building By Jennifer Blyth Black Press
M6 Security thrives on the challenge of doing things differently – embracing the proverbial “out-of-the-box” approach to critical thinking, and finding solutions for their home and business clients. It’s a philosophy that has served them well in the Victoria offices of the family-run company, which painstakingly refurbished an old building at the corner of William Street and Esquimalt Road into a funky office that embraces both its heritage and its current hightech role. Originally a bakery built in 1908, the property also housed a second building – the stable for the horses that would have delivered the baking and brought in supplies. Later, between the wars, the buildings would become home to a toy factory, creating toy soldiers for children wanting to re-create the battles from the war front. Unfortunately, the lead left over from those efforts also meant a four-month remediation of the property, as part of the renovations. The results, however, are nothing less that extraordinary, highlighted by a Heritage Restoration honour for M6 Security Corporation from the Com-
mercial Building Awards. Remnants of these early incarnations of the building have been preserved here and there. In addition to the carefully refurbished brick walls and a whitewashed tongue-and-groove ceiling, iron works that would have been used to secure the horses today add a touch of historical whimsy to the high-tech setting. Behind the outer office’s brick walls, fir timbers and custom barnBefore style doors with stable-inspired hardware, is a series of separate rooms housing the cutting-edge electronics systems that are the cornerstone of the company’s work. In one corner, bright with windows, high ceilings and bold colours, is the European-inspired company kitchen, designed for gathering and relaxing...and getting revitalized for the work ahead. The refurbishment of the historic building points to Swiss-born owner Willy Disler’s appreciation of the European model of taking the best of both the historic and the modern and integrating them into communities that

Modern, urban-style metal light fixtures, for example, are perfectly in tune with the Deco-style tilework, heavy beams and woodwork, some original, some designed to look it. In the charming third-floor upper apartment that accommodates staff on visits from Vancouver or Kelowna, or even family members in for a visit, the remains of bakery shoots can still be seen, where flour would have been dropped form the attic storage area to
the bakery below. When Disler purchased the building, it housed a number of artists, many who still have their studios on the middle floor – at one point during its colourful existence a fur vault for the Hudson’s Bay Company. The heavy iron door still allows entry to the now bright, airy space that offers room for several painters to pursue their passion. The incorporation of art into the building was a natural for Cont. on page 15

ith only one chance to make every kilometre count, four South Island police officers have their bicycle pedals primed to make a difference. Victoria Police Department constables Alvin Deo and Mike Massine, Oak Bay reserve constable Jarrod Christison and Cpl. Mary Brigham, a CFB Esquimalt military police officer, will be among 22 police and media riders in this year’s Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock fundraiser.

Christison, who is looking to raise $30,000, recalls when past riders stopped at his school. “Seeing them do the tour, I always looked up to that,” he said. “I also think it’s the ultimate form of volunteerism.” The 1,000-kilometre, 14-day journey from Port Alice to Victoria will be physically and emotionally demanding. The cyclists will meet children with cancer and people wanting to donate. Brigham is planning to shave her head during the ride to show solidarity with young cancer patients who have lost their hair through treatment. “It’s going to be emotional,” the military police officer said of the journey her team has been preparing for since March. “Regardless of all the training we’re doing, it doesn’t compare to what these (kids) are going through with their chemotherapy and recovering,” said Brigham, whose goal is to raise $5,000.

The 22-member Tour de Rock team is preparing to ride in support of pediatric cancer research and a summer camp for kids whose lives have been touched by the disease. Among those riding are Oak Bay reserve Const. Jarrod Christison, left, Victoria police constables Mike Massine and Alvin Deo, and CFB Esquimalt military police officer Cpl. Mary Brigham. “It’ll be a real mix of emotions,” said VicPD’s Massine of the upcoming ride. “I’m not above crying.” Massine’s desire to participate dates back to 1998 when he was a Saanich cop and his police colleague Const. Martin Pepper initiated the first Tour de Rock. Massine is also inspired by his 19-year-old stepdaughter who has a rare syndrome for which she requires constant care. “It’s opened my eyes to the needs parents have when they do have kids who are sick in one way or another,” said Massine, who hopes to fund raise $25,000. It was only natural for Deo to help kids
in need since, as a youth investigator, he spends most of his day doing just that. He is also a father to three young children. “I have kids of my own and just the thought of them suffering from cancer is pretty terrifying,” said Deo, who aspires to raise $15,000. “Realizing there are other families out there that are going through this right now, I just wanted to do whatever I could to help out.” Tour de Rock happens Sept. 24 to Oct. 7.

Weird and wonderful performers take to inaugural Buskers Festival Erin Cardone
Buskers busy
News staff
Surrounded by hundreds of expectant faces, Victor Rubilar has the calm disposition of a seasoned professional. And a professional he is – one that plies his trade juggling soccer balls with his feet, spinning them on his forehead, stalling them on his back and juggling five of them at a time. The guy’s got a way with soccer balls. Hailing from Sweden, Rubilar holds four Guinness World Records. Last year, he performed at 251 shows and this year, before making his way to the inaugural Victoria International Buskers Festival, he’s spent a few weeks in Qatar, at the Asian Football Cup. He’s one of more than 15 acts coming to the festival, organized by John Vickers. “I hail from the Maritimes originally,� Vickers said, referencing the successful Halifax International Buskers Festival. “It struck me that Victoria has such a picturesque downtown and we seem to be lacking when it comes to free-to-attend familyoriented festivals.� After taking in the East Coast version of the event, Vickers teamed up with Sharon Mahoney, who goes by the stage name of Tallulah. “John and I worked together to create as much of a diverse lineup (as we could),� Mahoney said in an email from Ireland, where she was performing. The range of acts at the festival, which takes to six stages between July 15 and 24 span from the goofy (“contemporary clown� Fraser Hooper from the U.K.) to the awe-inspiring (the U.S.-based Aerial Angels, who dangle overhead from bright pink ribbons) to the shocking (New Zealand’s Bendy Em can fit herself inside a 40-centimetre-square box). Those are just the visiting acts. Plenty
Performances happen on six stages: ■Ship Point, two stages ■Inner Harbour’s lower causeway ■The Fairmont Empress lawn ■Bastion Square ■The Bay Centre’s centre court (from noon to 2 p.m. only)
Photo submitted
The U.S.-based Aerial Angels will perform during the Victoria International Buskers Festival, July 15 to 24. of local buskers will perform during the week-long event as well, including the lower causeway’s oneman band, Dave Harris.
Vickers said he’s looking forward to Flame Oz, a group of dancers and performers whose props include fire.
“They’ve won people’s choice awards at other international festivals around the world,� Vickers said. For more informa-
tion, pick up the festival booklet for $2 at the Bay Centre’s lower level kiosk or visit www. victoriabuskers.com. Proceeds go to the Victoria Youth Clinic. ecardone@vicnews.com

Birth of the Victoria International 7s Sean Duke, right, is a core part of Canada’s national sevens team. He’ll lead Canada as the favourite to win the Victoria 7s tourney. Ian Muir/Rugby Canada
On Saturday, Victoria has a chance to see rugby sevens at an world-class level for the first time on local pitches Travis Paterson News staff
T
he first ever Victoria International 7s rugby tournament is Saturday at the University of Victoria’s Wallace Field. The tourney is set to become an annual affair and festival weekend. Visiting for the first ever international event are the Mexican and Cayman Islands’ national teams as well as a Fijian team called Ratu Filise. UVic Vikes rugby coach and former national sevens manager Doug Tate is an organizer of the event and said not to underestimate the visiting countries. But Mexico and the Cayman Islands will have their hands full with the Canadian national team, the Fijian squad and Team Molly Maid. Molly Maid: Originally organized by Jim Mackenzie, the chairman and CEO of Molly Maid Canada and father of ex-Vikes and professional players Phil and Jamie. However, the brothers were both named to the 30-man Rugby Canada squad and are training full time with the team. Instead, the Molly Maid team could sweep the title with a core of national-level James Bay players. Watch out for: Neil Meechan, Morgan and Jeff Williams, and Taylor Paris. All have played for Canada on the international level.
Canada: This team is devilishly good, even without some of its regular stars. Watch out for: Phil Mack. He narrowly missed the 30-man world cup squad and has captained Team Canada to bucketfuls of trophies on the international stage. Watch out for: St. Michaels University School grads Andrew Crowe and Beau Parker. A rare chance to see Crowe, who plays university rugby back east. Also a rare chance to see Parker on the open field. Watch him run. Young Canada: Canada’s future boasts a tonne of talent but less experience. Watch out for: Michael Fuailefau, a SMUS grad and Castaway-Wanderers youth player who is now a Vike. Watch out for: Dustin Dobravsky, he’s Canada’s future fly half on the 15s team. Barbarians: This local group of spare parts boasts some of B.C.’s best backs. Watch out for: Velox’s Pita Savea and CastawayWanderers’ Matt Buckley.

When Alex Tribe steps into the ring inside the Bay Street Armoury on Saturday night, he won’t feel alone. Fans who crowd the armoury’s upper landing for Summer Slugfest V have the opportunity of a bird’s eye view just metres above the ring. Tribe will go toe-to-toe with Jason “the Jackal” Szakal of Kamloops for the International Kickboxing Federation’s junior Canadian welterweight belt. “We had it here 15 years ago and fighters said it was like the crowd was right on top of them, right in the ring,” said Slugfest organizer Stan Peterec. “You don’t get that intimate of an event anywhere.” Fighting for his second national title in a matter of months is a quick turn of events for Tribe. Three months ago the 19-year-old Saanich kid stepped in as a late opponent against local karate instructor Leigh Mueller, and won. The match was supposed to give 29-year-old Mueller a shot at the ISKA belt until Tribe took the fight. “Winning the (International Kickboxing Sport Association) was an eye-opener, especially coming in late,” Tribe said. “Everybody respects Mueller. This time I’ve been training even harder. I’m ready.” Tribe should be quicker and more technical than Szakal. According to Peterec, Szakal will be bigger and carry a bit more power. It’s the headline match out of 14 amateur kickboxing, boxing and mixed martial arts fights. The

Jr. Shamrocks jump ahead in playoffs A commanding lead to open the game gave the Victoria junior Shamrocks a 16-9 victory over the Nanaimo Timbermen in game 1 of the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League playoff series at Bear Mountain Arena on Tuesday night. Victoria held leads of 7-2 and 15-6 as Karsen Leung, Jesse King and Brody Eastwood each had hat tricks. Leung tabbed four assists and King had threemore. Luke Acton had a six point game and Jake Emms a five point game but the biggest goal by Mitch Meilleur, the first of his junior-A career. Cory Mayzes stopped 32 of 41 shots in net. Game 2 of the best-of-three series was in Nanaimo on Thursday. If necessary, game 3 goes at Bear Mountain Arena at 5 p.m. on Saturday (July 16).
Eagles soar as midget-B Island lacrosse champs The midget-B Victoria-Esquimalt Eagles lacrosse team are Island champs. The Eagles defeated the Campbell
River Ravens 7-4 on Sunday for the Island championship, a one-game affair. It’s the final year of minor lacrosse for the 16, 16-year-old players on the team, and they’re going out in style, with a berth in the midget-B provincials in Coquitlam, July 22 to 24. The team also has five 15-year-olds. Victoria-Esquimalt earlier swept both the Saanich Tigers and Oceanside Sharks in their best-of-three playoff series. Graeme Bates led the Eagles past the Ravens with three goals in the final while goalie Kiefer Hagedorn was “outstanding” in net, stopping 41 shots, said coach Mark Hackwell. “We had the lowest goals against average, and the lowest penalty minutes. We’re a very disciplined team, a class act and its been a pleasure to coach them.” The Eagles owned a regular season record of 12 wins and two ties in 14 games, second place behind Campbell River. Recently the Eagles went undefeated at the Penticton Barnburner midget-B tourney, defeating the Semiahmoo Rock 5-1 in the final.

Being able to use both hands to type, load the dishwasher and swing a golf club were never possible for brain tumour survivor Craig McKinnon before he met Dr. Paul Winston. Winston is a physiatrist (pronounced phys-eye-atrist), which is a medical doctor who specializes in rehabilitating patients suffering from neurological conditions. After a large tumour was removed from McKinnon’s brain in 2005, the 32-year-old Oak Bay resident was left with severe weakness on his left side. That changed his world forever – or so he thought. Thanks to Winston, who has been injecting botulinum toxin, or Botox, into McKinnon’s hand, arm and leg, he can now keep up with his nearly two-year-old son, among other basic, but essential life tasks. “It’s shocking to me that no one recommended this to me back in Ontario (where I had my surgery). It feels like someone missed the ball on this,” McKinnon said. Winston, who operates a practice in Esquimalt and also works out of a clinic at Victoria General Hospital, said he
Brain cancer survivor Craig McKinnon, left, has been making steady progress through working with physiatrist, Dr. Paul Winston. Erin McCracken/ News staff
spends a lot of time explaining what a physiatrist does. “It’s a very humbling field,” said Winston, a Saanich resident. “No one ever hears you and they think you’re a podiatrist or a physiotherapist or a psychiatrist.” There are about 10 neuro-rehabilitation doctors in Greater Victoria who, through medication and aids such as orthotics and braces, work to improve quality of life for patients after amputation, stroke and neurological-related chronic pain, among other conditions.
Winston is one of two physiatrists on the Island to sub-specialize in spinal cord injuries. “I’m often told, ‘You’re my last hope,’” said Winston, who sees more than 70 patients a week and has a three- to four-month waiting list. Such demand for physiatrists isn’t surprising considering the scope of their abilities – something McKinnon is reminded of every time he swings a golf club. “I equate it to seeing again,” he said of his progress. “It’s night and day.” emccracken@vicnews.com
