Oak Bay News, August 17, 2012

Brittany LeeNews staff

The potential layout of the new Oak Bay

High school seems to be coming together, but the actual design of the school remains a mystery.

Variances regarding the proposed height and parking on the school site were approved in a committee of the whole meet-ing Monday night.

Based on a design build concept, as man-

dated by the provincial government, coun-cil must approve building variances, as requested by facilities staff of the Greater Victoria School District, before a building design is created.

The method is a novel one, that neither the municipality nor the GVSD has used before, Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen said

on Tuesday.“It allows the builder to come forward

with ideas that are leading edge and innova-tive, and environmentally sustainable.”

COMMUNITY

Kyle SlavinNews staff

University of Victoria students may be greeted by picketing support staff when classes return in early September.

Last month, mediation between two unions – CUPEs 917 and 951 – and the uni-versity on essential service levels failed. Three days of hearings (Aug. 21, 22 and 24) have been set for both parties to plead their cases to the Labour Relations Board before it adjudicates essential services and staffing levels.

“(UVic) came with a long list of jobs they deemed essential,” said Doug Sprenger, president of CUPE 917. “I can’t be specific. Let’s just say our list of (essential jobs) was short, and their list was long.”

Kane Kilbey, UVic’s associate vice-presi-dent of human resources, said in a July 20 notice posted online: “It continues to be the university’s desire to reach a negotiated set-tlement at the earliest possible opportunity. We remain hopeful that this can be achieved without a major disruption.”

University of Victoria paint shop employees Len Ashmore (with paint sprayer) and Rob Barton (with ground glass) repaint crosswalks on Ring Road as they get the campus ready for the new school year. Unions representing UVic employees remain far apart from UVic management, and can’t come to an agreement on essential service levels, or a contract.

Parm Ollek’s arms and legs are burning.Gripping her wooden paddle, she

plunges it into the water alongside 19 other paddlers, their dragonboat knifing through the waterway.

Despite the pain, final preparations for the Canada Dry Victoria Dragonboat Festival are going well and Ollek feels fortunate to be on the water.

“It is totally fun. I am higher than a kite, I really am,” she said. “I am experiencing something totally out of my box.”

You wouldn’t know it, but the business systems co-ordinator for Maximus Canada had never done anything athletic in her life.

Ollek and most of her teammates spend their days at a desk – she doesn’t even remember the last time she felt like part of a team. That all changed a year ago after discovering dragonboat racing

as a volunteer. “I couldn’t believe what a wonderful

event it was. The energy, it was so positive,” she said of last year’s festival.

“I absolutely loved it and I walked away that weekend and said ‘I really like this; I want to do this.’”

Ollek decided to form her own boat, recruiting colleagues at work to form the newly minted Maximus Power, named after their company.

The team takes to the waters of the Inner Harbour this weekend (Aug. 17, 18 and 19) focused on performing inside – paddling in unison – and outside – raising funds for the B.C. Cancer Foundation – the boat.

“My goal at the end of the day isn’t about winning and losing at all,” Ollek said. “It is a matter of being a part of something and giving back.”

Coach Paul Barton has been quietly impressed with the team.

Barton, a first-time coach, appreciates

the commitment each paddler invested into the twice-weekly practices and looks forward to a strong performance come race day.

“They are raring to go. It has been great,” Barton said. “I had no idea what to expect from them, but from the first minute it was eager happy faces. It has been an amazing experience.”

Despite less than eight weeks to train, the rookie boat placed second in its heat at the Gorge Fest Dragon Boat Regatta last weekend and hope to gel even more in time for this weekend.

“Dragonboating is the definition of team work. If you don’t interact as a team in the boat, there is a negative effect,” Barton said.

“Everyone feels great about contributing to someone other than themselves. This is hard. After every practice they are burnt out, but they are smiling. It is great.”

Ollek is smiling, despite the aching in her body. As captain of Maximus Power she is focused on the team, a team that spreads much farther than just the 20 people on the boat.

“My values are such that I want to give back to the community anyway I can,” she said.

“It is in my heart to do these things, it is what I believe in.”

Lanterns light the way Lights of Courage, the colourful paper

lanterns scribed with personalized messages for those affected by cancer, have generated approximately $16,000 of the $20,000 goal set out by the Victoria Dragonboat Festival Society.

The colourful $2 lanterns can be purchased at Fairway Market stores, Denny’s Restaurant and The Bay Centre, or the B.C. Cancer Foundation tent at the festival.

The lanterns are taken to the Canada Dry Victoria Dragonboat Festival at Ship Point today (Aug. 17) to display alongside thousands of lanterns at the Inner Harbour. A celebration lighting up of the lanterns takes place at 9 p.m.

“It is a matter of being a part of something and giving back.”

Dragonboaters give to the max

The downtown Victoria inter-section where a 27-year-old pedestrian was killed is unsafe for buses, according to B.C. Tran-sit’s CEO.

The fatality occurred Monday, when a tour bus was turning left from Humboldt onto Douglas Street around 10 a.m.

Yuka Imaizumi was crossing the street legally at the time and was hit by the bus, according to witnesses.

“We deemed that as not a particularly safe turn,” said B.C. Transit CEO Manuel Achadinha. “It’s not an intersection we use in our routing.”

While commercial trucks are

subject to multiple street-use restrictions, tour buses are able to roam freely under city bylaws. The only exception in downtown Victoria is Swift Street near Chi-natown.

City council downtown liai-son Coun. Lisa Helps said the overarching focus should be on creating pedestrian-friendly spaces rather than restricting tour buses.

“The proactive approach is that pedestrians are more vul-nerable than vehicles,” she said, adding she would like to see tour bus restrictions on two-lane road-ways like Government Street.

A greater number of North American cities are introduc-ing pedestrian scrambles, Helps said, where drivers are stopped

in all four directions to allow pedestrians to cross to any cor-ner of an intersection.

“That’s a smart, simple and easy way to remedy the prob-lem,” she said, particularly at a five-corner intersection like Douglas and Humboldt.

Helps said she would like to see the downtown core speed limit restricted to 30 km/h as well.

“They’re two really easy, cheap solutions and preventative mea-sures that we could implement immediately.”

On Aug. 1, a tour bus allegedly clipped a horse on Fisgard Street, sending a carriage passenger on an unbridled ride through down-town.

Large selection of sandals up to 50% off.

Over stocked!OOOPS!

The two CUPE unions, which represent some 1,500 non-teaching jobs such as tradespeople, food service staff, childcare workers, and office and library staff, are negotiating in concert with one another. They have both been without con-tracts since March 31, 2010.

Students won’t face disruptions in the class-room, but could find limited cafeteria or library services, depending on essential services levels set by the labour board.

Sprenger says they want to respect students’ education as much as possible, but noted they’ll be providing information to students in September on what to do when faced with a picket line.

“We think that students returning to the Univer-sity of Victoria have a very strong interest in get-ting this labour dispute resolved, and feel it’s an important time to resolve it,” Sprenger said. “It’s a time when all eyes are on the university and stu-dents anyway, regardless of any disruptions.”

Loree Wilcox, CUPE national servicing rep, told the News last month the unions and UVic were “too far apart” for any negotiation progress to be

made.According to CUPE, there remain nine areas

of dispute between the union and the employer, including job security, benefits and inflation pro-tection.

Late last week, CUPE B.C. said in a press release, “The B.C. Liberals are (fast-tracking) a new plan to slash jobs and money from B.C.’s already hemor-rhaging college and university budgets.”

CUPE says the province’s administrative service delivery transformation project could mean priva-tization of union jobs at post-secondary institu-tions.

“It appears the plan is to be implemented for the 2012-13 school year. What is not clear is exactly how many jobs are at stake,” the press release reads.

A spokesperson from the Ministry of Advanced Education who asked not to be identified wrote in an email that CUPE’s concerns are premature.

“Neither the government nor the institutions have any predetermined idea of how savings and improvements will be achieved,” the spokesper-son wrote.

If you can’t travel to Mars, going to this weekend’s Star Party in Metchosin might be the next best thing.

Astronomers from across Greater Victoria are gather-ing at the Metchosin municipal grounds, 4450 Happy Valley Rd. for a weekend of gazing at stars, watching solar storms and camp-ing out.

The Royal Astronomical Soci-ety of Canada-Victoria Chapter hosts the party, which is open to the public.

Metchosin astronomer Sherry Buttnor leads a workshop called Astronomy 101 for anyone want-ing to learn the basics. She’ll also host a guided telescope walk tonight (Aug. 17).

During the day, Buttnor said many members will have their telescopes set up to watch mag-netic storms on the sun.

“It’s absolutely true you are never supposed to look at the sun unless you have the proper equipment. You can do it safely if you know what you are doing,” she said, explaining that she uses a neutral density white light filter on the end of her telescope.

In the early mornings, the Andromeda galaxy is one of Butt-nor’s favourite sights.

“It’s our nearest neighbour. It’s 2.1 million light years away, but as far as astronomical distances go, it’s right next door,” Buttnor said.

Families and children are encouraged to come out and learn about all types of astronomy.

“Kids look through the eye-piece and they are wide-eyed at

what they see,” Buttnor said. “I like to take what I’ve learned and share with others.”

Saturday afternoon, from 4 to 6 p.m., children’s activities include crafts involving planets and com-ets.

“It’s best if people bring their own telescopes,” Buttnor said. “It doesn’t matter what you’ve got, even if it’s just a drug store tele-scope. Everyone’s welcome.”

Throughout the weekend there will be a series of lectures as well as plenty of time to look into the universe.

The star party runs from Fri-day at 6 p.m. to Sunday at noon. There is no charge to attend, but donations are appreciated. Food and drink are not provided.

The process has been used throughout the province, including currently at Chilliwack Secondary and Alberni District Secondary schools.

“The process is designed to allow for school districts… to be able to get the best dol-lar value for the proj-ect,” said Seamus How-ley, director of facilities with the GVSD.

“The variances that we’ve requested from Oak Bay enable us, as the owner, to give the proponents – the designers – maximum flexibility to design the building on the prop-erty.”

The goal is to provide the potential designer with as few restrictions as possible, Howley added.

Proposed bylaw amendments include: changing the zoning of the current Cranmore Street student parking lot from residential to institutional, as well as paving a dirt park-ing area on Goldsmith Street, used by at least 40 municipal staff and the general public, to fit a minimum of 95 cars; allowing the height of a section of the three storey school to be 17.4 metres, 3.4 metres more than allowable; and agreeing to a minimum of 195 park-ing stalls on the site

instead of the munici-pal bylaw’s stated 260. The school currently has 125 spots.

“There’s good sup-port for these changes around the table,” Jensen said. “And cer-tainly, given the fact that we engaged the community (in the project) very early on in this process … I believe there’s very good support in the community for these changes.”

Once the bylaw amendments are final-ized, it would be up to the school district to incorporate the changes in its request for design proposals, Jensen said.

Although Coun. John

Herbert expressed concerns over a lack of public input in the project during Monday night’s meeting, Jensen said that would not be the case.

“That was one of the assurances we had (Monday) night. That there would be continuing input from council and the com-munity.”

Council will look at the approval at its next regular council meet-ing Monday (Aug. 20)[email protected]

Recent Mt. Doug grad Nick Postle

worked hard to balance his studies and

extracurricular studies through high school.

THE SCHOOL-LIFE BALANCE:

By Jennifer Blyth

While the ultimate goal of high school may

well be an education that takes us forward in

academics and life skills, some of our fondest

memories are oft en of the extracurricular ac-

tivities that fi ll the “off -hours.”

Nick Postle, who graduated from Mt. Doug

High School this past June, not only took on

his fair share of activities, including time with

the school’s improv team, musical theatre pro-

gram and dance, but also spent considerable

hours volunteering with student leadership.

All this came together in Grade 12 when Pos-

tle was named student council president and

earned the distinction of Most Outstanding

All Around Student.

Th is fall, Postle is looking forward to entering

the Fine Arts department at the University of

Victoria and continuing his theatrical studies.

was something I chose to do because I enjoyed

it. I like helping people and I have fun trying

mean by that is that I’ve acquired skills by vol-

unteering and joining clubs that aren’t part of

the everyday school curriculum. I like to think

this variety of skillsets will not only look good

on a resume, but also help in whatever career

I fi nally end up in. Being involved in various

school activities also led to me meeting lots

of new people and making plenty of good

friends.

Q. What are the challenges of balancing

school work with extracurricular activities?

A. Sometimes it was tough to decide what

do when I had confl icts between two things on

one day, and then on top of that a homework

assignment due the day aft er. But I managed

by prioritizing what I had to do.

Q. What strategies do you suggest for high

school students wanting to enjoy extracur-

ricular/outside activities while also main-

taining their marks?

A. Plan ahead. It’s important to know what

you’re gong to do when you wake up in the

morning, so make decisions on time confl icts

as far before they occur as you can. As much

as you plan though, sometimes a homework

assignment can just pop up, so try and be fl ex-

Maintaining marks while engaging in extracurricular

activities is rewarding, but takes care and planning

2009 WINNER

So, the Summer Olympics are over and done with for another four years.

Television, with all of its magic and the benefit of high-light packages, made it almost seem that we were watching our athletes compete live, not on a tape delay, from London.

Following up a more successful Games, medal-wise, than 2008 – we got a similar number of med-als with nearly 60 fewer athletes – we can expect renewed calls to support our athletes in more ways than just watching them on TV, cheering when they succeed and empathizing with them when they don’t.

The Canadian Olympic Commit-tee would love to have more finan-cial support for our country’s ath-letes at the Games and in the years leading up to them.

Most local athletic clubs, from youth soccer to track and field to swimming and diving – often train-ing grounds for future Olympians – would cease to exist without the financial and volunteer support of parents and donors.

But is it up to the public to care what happens to athletes from across the country after the Olym-pics?

Time for a memory test. How many of you remember that moguls

skier Alexandre Bilodeau won Cana-da’s first gold medal at the Vancou-ver Games in 2010? Good. Now who has a clue what he’s done competi-

tively or off the slopes since then?

How about figure skater Joannie Rochette? We all wept a tear for her in 2010, as she bravely competed and triumphantly medaled, despite the death of her mother in Vancouver a week or so earlier.

Has anyone kept track of this valiant young athlete, outside of those who were already inter-ested in figure skating?

The fact that many more sum-mer sport athletes than winter live and train in the Victoria area makes them more visible than those hail-ing from Ontario or Quebec. But even among those individuals, the ones who wind up qualifying for the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro will still leave our sight, for the most part, for three or four years.

Is this a bad thing? It depends on how you look at it.

For example, how closely have any of us, other than those inter-ested in climatology, followed the progress of University of Victoria climatologist Andrew Weaver since he co-won the Nobel Peace Prize back in 2007?

Speaking of UVic, how many

people have followed what Peter Gustavson, namesake of the busi-ness school at the university, has been doing since he sold his Cus-tom House Currency Exchange busi-ness for $370 million?

We have individual and team suc-cess stories all over the region, in various areas of interest, from ath-letics to business to academia.

Unless those involved continue to be visible in our daily lives, or at least make the news on a semi-reg-ular basis, we tend to forget about them and focus on the success story of the day.

In general, the media supply us with stories of the here and now – there’s a reason they call it “news” – not recaps of old stories that we cheered in days gone by. The fact that certain specialty TV channels show NHL, NFL or NBA finals from decades past, however, is a sign that some of us want to relive old glories, and apparently are willing to pay for the privilege.

We absolutely need to recognize the efforts of our Olympic athletes. After all, we don’t have many other opportunities to exhibit national pride, especially with a certain gov-ernment in office in Ottawa.

But to expect people to keep car-rying the torch much longer than when the next stories catch our attention is unrealistic.

Anonymity returns for Olympians

It’s about time for online votingDuring Canadian federal, provincial and

municipal elections, the number of ways to cast a vote is slim. You can show up

to your polling station on election day, vote at advanced polls, or with special permission, mail in your ballot.

Voting in the vast majority of places in Canada has resolutely remained stuck in the past – ticking off a ballot with a pencil. Technological advances have been confined largely to optical counting devices. A few municipalities have flirted with touch screen voting machines and telephone voting for municipal elections.

Last week, B.C. became the latest government to announce that it will examine if voting options should be brought into the 21st century, namely casting a ballot via the Internet. The federal government has already said it wants to try online voting in a by-election by 2013.

With low and declining voter turnout in all jurisdictions in B.C., giving people convenient options to vote can only be a good thing. There’s no guarantee Internet polls will crack the apathy of the non-voting public, but there’s a good chance younger adults might finally be engaged in the election process. Political parties might be forced to take young people seriously.

Of course there are serious technical and psychological hurdles to cross. The public needs to have confidence that voting via the Internet still means anonymity and integrity, and that their vote will be counted.

Election officials need to have confidence in a system that will allow people to vote only once, and that can’t be hacked and seeded with fraudulent results.

The May 2012 federal NDP leadership vote, which allowed members to cast votes online, showed both the strengths and weaknesses of the system. The voting website was subject to attempted sabotage by hackers, which slowed the voting process, but who failed to compromise actual voting results.

Internet voting and its technology remains far from perfect, but it deserves a chance, alongside our trusty pencil and paper.

‘We can expect renewed calls to support our athletes ...’

LETTERSBiblical idea of marriage cherry-picks passages

Kyle Slavin, in “Want gay fries with that?” (The Gen-Y Lens, Aug. 10), said, “... the majority of those who don’t support same-sex marriage probably operate ... on biblical principles ....”

What Biblical principles are those? There is no Biblical definition of marriage as between one man and one woman. There is 1 Timothy 3:12, which states: “Let deacons marry only once” (in contrast to Catholic unmarried priests). There is no indication of the gender of the marriage partner.

Many Biblical marriages were polygamous. Abraham pretended his wife was his sister, and pimped her out for his personal safety, as well has having a child by a servant. Noah had children with his daughters. The two most beautiful Biblical love stories (whether there was intercourse or not) are between two men (David and Johnathan), and between two woman (Ruth and Naomi). There are same-gender marriage ceremonies in early church documents, discovered by John Boswell.

Most who base their opposition to equal marriage rights on a verse in Ecclesiastes seem content to ignore more numerous instructions forbidding pork, certain sea foods, mixed fabrics, women speaking in church (1 Timothy 2:11-14), as well as the injunction not to judge others.

If one is to cherry-pick Biblical verses, there are better verses to select.

It is a pleasure for me to perform weddings for loving couples, regardless of gender.

Stand firm against P3 sewage treatment

The Greater Victoria Water Watch Coalition urges the CRD to recall, and remind the provincial and federal governments of the many meetings at which we and other groups and individuals

spoke out against a Public-Private-Partnership (P3) approach to the sewage treatment project.

We urge the CRD not to bow to senior-level government pressures in favour of a P3, and to reject any grants from them conditional upon a P3. If the senior-level governments continue to mandate the project, then they must be made to understand local conditions and concerns, and that local taxpayers will not be bullied by them.

Do our provincial and federal politicians not realize that we understand that in the end, the users – the taxed public – will pay, except that we will pay far more if we go the P3 route?

What the provincial and federal governments are doing, by inflicting these P3 conditional grants on the CRD, is an attempt to make them look good now, while loading the costs on to future generations through multi-decade P3 agreements with any profits generated by the system going to business corporations, not local corporations.

Nancy StuartSaanich

Sewage treatment project will hit cost overruns

The public should be aware that the much publicized cost of $780 million for regional sewage treatment is not much more than a guestimate, plus or minus 25 per cent at best.

A 25 per cent increase in cost on this project will almost double the amount the local taxpayer has to fund.

In discussions with the CRD, it seems as if very little of the necessary detailed engi-neering to produce a definitive estimate appears to have been done.

There are doubts about the ability of the CRD to give “due diligence” to a project of this nature and size on behalf of the tax-payer.

Recent large municipal projects have had overruns well in excess of that 25 per cent, and there is no reason to believe that the sewage project will be any different.

Bear in mind, too, that this plant has a finite life. It is designed to last 25 years, at

which point all or part of it will need to be replaced. Like your car, it wears down.

If there is a decision to go ahead, then the most reasonable and least painful way to introduce water treatment would be to phase it in over a period of 25 years with smaller modular plants at say, three year intervals, costing no more than $50 to 80 million each.

It’s still a substantial investment, but certainly a better way to control cost over-runs, and which gives you the opportunity to see if and how it works.

We need to continue to ask questions of the CRD, and request a public forum with their engineering department to better understand their capabilities and how they propose to conduct this project.

Carbon trust program is full of susceptible holes

Jordan Bateman exposes an example of the foolishness of carbon credits in his Aug. 3 guest column “Carbon Trust has run its course.”

Apropos his point that such schemes would be rejected in a free market, the Chicago climate exchange collapsed (but Al Gore made millions from it before then).

There will always be people who try to take advantage of something they shouldn’t.

Europe’s carbon credit trading schemes were scammed, in one case the U.K. government had to force the price of something to zero to plug a loophole among laws that would have cost taxpayers huge sums. European governments lost billions trying to prop up carbon trading.

The risk is especially high with an irrational theme such as the blame-humans-for-climate-variation scam.

A few decades ago many Canadians were hurt by low quality installation in the government-promoted foam-in-place insulation business.

Today governments and private investors are losing money from investments in solar and wind power, as they failed to recognize limited life of

equipment and the need to accommodate the varying output of those sources of energy (expensive energy storage schemes are needed).

Will voters put a stop to the nonsense in forthcoming elections?

Keith SketchleySaanich

Returning to the NDP is akin to returning to an ex-spouse

Consider this if you are planning to vote NDP.

B.C. has a triple A credit rating. It is a “have” province and has the second lowest basic income tax rate in Canada.

You would never take back a former spouse to recreate a nightmare, but we are willing to do it to change the government.

As B.C. is a business-investment province and investment does not agree with NDP governments, can the NDP guarantee that you will not get a layoff slip from your place of employment, if, in fact, they become government?

You are invited to a mela.The third annual Indian Mela

returns to Victoria’s Centen-nial Square this weekend where organizer Sabba Sall believes new experiences await Victori-ans at the two-day festival.

“Mela, in our language, is a cel-ebration,” Sall said. “It is very common in India, going back 4,000 to 5,000 years. It is the shar-ing of food, dance and song – an opportunity to get together.”

Food booths decorated in Indian decor sell traditional fare alongside entertainment and fashion shows, each celebrat-ing the sights and sounds of the Indian culture.

“It is a step into a whole other way of life,” Sall said. “We want to share our culture. It is an oppor-tunity for the Indian community to show a part of themselves, who they are and where they come from.”

“(We) are proud of two things, of being Canadian and being Indian. This is an opportunity to display (our) pride,” Sall said.

The talents of established per-formers from the Lower Main-land, including Grammy-nom-inated musicians Aslam and Bombay-trained Kathak dancer Prajakta Trepan, join dozens of local musicians and dancers.

“It is not every day I can dress up in an Indian Bhangra,” said Saanich resident Casmine Pan-dher. “It feels amazing to be recognized by the community. It makes me proud.”

The 18-year-old Clare-mont graduate performs at the mela with dance troupe Apana Virsa for the third time. Hav-ing seen the audience grow every year, she is excited to perform in front of another large crowd.

“Our everyday life isn’t super traditional,” she said. “When these opportunities come up, it is important to remind yourself of your

heritage and the richness of the art we have.”

The 2012 Indian Mela at Cen-tennial Square is held today (Aug. 17), 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Saturday (Aug. 18), 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. All events are free.

The Vancouver Island Music Awards, hosted eight of the last 11 years, is on the brink of broke. Prior VIMAs operated on a $5,000 budget each year, with no profit.

“We need to be able to jus-tify doing it again. That means having the funds and have the awareness,” said producer James Kasper. “I see it as an important event, but it needs to be impor-tant to the community on the rest of the Island. A lot of people do realize there is a music scene here on the Island but not every-body is in that loop.”

Last month he started a cam-paign to get 50 businesses to sup-port the awards with $100 each.

“It’s been going for about three weeks and we’re up to a little over $700. It’s not much, we need a bare minimum of $2,000 just to

move forward,” Kasper said. The first stage, advertising

a call for submissions, is set to start in September if the funding comes through. The event usu-ally happens in April.

Ladysmith artist Ryan McMa-hon hopes to submit again this year after scoring three awards at last year’s Fairfield event.

“I’ve been doing it for 10 years professionally, although largely unrecognized, so to be recog-nized especially at home, that’s big,” he said. “The coolest part was getting to learn about other musicians right in my own back yard and that’s just as a music fan.”

He’s among those who crossed the water to spend time pursuing his craft in Vancouver.

“When I came home (to the Island) there was a huge part of me that thought ‘my music career’s going to really slow down’. The cool thing was was that I got the itch to play immediately,” McMa-hon said. “I realized (the awards) was going to be something that could generate awareness.”

The jury liked his acoustic solo

set of songs All Good Stories, nam-ing it album of the year.

McMahon was also male vocal-ist of the year and artist of the year

for 2012. After-ward, McMahon toured Western Canada again. When he hit Win-nipeg, the media asked about the Island awards. “It really had a far, far reach and totally helped my career,” McMahon said.

McMahon is among VIMA’s previous hosts, speakers and presenters that include Neil Osbourne of 54/40, The Irish Rovers, Vince Ditrich of Spirit of the West, Terry David Mul-ligan, and David Gogo. VIMA award-winners

over the years include Armchair Cynics, Hayley Sales, Alex Cuba, Christine Evans, Todd Butler and Jets Overhead (then called Spe-

cial Guests) – named artist of the year at the inaugural event in 2002.

“It’s been a launching pad for musicians like Hayley Sales, who was named female vocalist of the year several years ago,” Kasper said. “That’s an important aspect of it, empowering local musicians to move their career forward. The whole idea is for this to be one night of the year when all facets of the music scene on the Island can come together, celebrate the scene, network and hopefully bring awareness of local musi-cians to the general public.”

When Paul O’Brien uprooted his family from England and moved to Victoria eight years ago, he thought he’d left his music career behind.

“We just fancied a change,” he said, recalling his attempt to set-tle down as a St. Andrew’s high school teacher.

But to satisfy his creative itch, O’Brien convinced his three chil-dren to start busking with him along Government Street in the summer months.

“The whole busking thing was absolutely a hobby,” he said. “We’ve been amazed by how popular it’s become.”

The musical family — made up of Millie, 18, Cormac, 16, and 15-year-old Fintan — has been creating a mix of Celtic, blue-grass and classic family voices ever since.

“The power of the four voices together is what it’s all about,” O’Brien said, who has since revived his solo career and has been picked up by an agent in Germany.

“My plan is to take the kids on tour to Europe,” he said. “I think it would really fly.”

To celebrate the recording of their first family album, the O’Brien’s are hosting a concert tonight (Aug. 17) at 7:30 p.m. at St. Michael’s University lecture

theatre. Tickets are $10 at the door, and will include songs from singer-songwriter Madi Elwel as well as original songs and covers by the O’Brien’s.

“This year’s been the year when it really all came together,” O’Brien said, recalling a January

performance at the Alex Gooldin Hall. The recordings from that concert are featured on the fam-ily’s debut album.

The B.C. government has provided $16.8 mil-lion for community arts and culture grants for the current year, match-ing last year’s total with help from a dwindling 2010 Olympic legacy fund.

Community, Sport and Cultural Devel-opment Minister Ida Chong announced the funding Monday in Vic-toria, along with B.C. Arts Council chair Stan Hamilton.

The BCAC has juries that assess funding applications, and has already doled out about $6 million of this year’s budget.

With less than half the money allocated in Chong’s current min-istry budget, another $6.75 million came from the 2010 Sports and Arts Legacy.

That $60-million fund was created in the 2010 budget to offset earlier recession-driven cuts to adult arts and sports organizations from pro-vincial gambling rev-enues. It will be gone

after this year, and there is no indication where it might be made up next year.

When the recession hit in 2008, the B.C. Lib-eral government cut grant funding from the B.C. Lottery Corp. from $156 million to $113 million, then raised it back to $120 million to restore funds to school district parent advisory councils.

Applicants were told that arts and sports funding from lotteries would be restricted to organizations for young people and the dis-abled.

Premier Christy Clark promised to restore funds while campaign-ing for the party lead-ership last year. Once elected, she announced a $15 million increase in gambling funds for a range of organizations including service clubs, festivals and museums.

Chong said she some-times meets artists and organizations who are not aware that they can apply to the B.C. Arts Council for grants. Eligi-bility requirements and application forms are

available at bcartscoun-cil.ca.

Greater Victoria recip-ients of funding include the Pacific Opera Victo-ria Society ($90,000), the Victoria Symphony Soci-ety ($86,000), Victoria Minor League Hockey Association ($63,000), Victoria United Soccer Association ($8,400), the Pacific Rim Field

Lacrosse Association ($10,000), Island Uku-leles: A Music Society ($12,000), Intrepid The-atre Company Soci-ety ($45,000), Victoria Youth Paddling Society ($13,125), Canadian Pacific Lawn Bowling Club of Victoria ($3,500) and Esquimalt Hockey Society ($15,000).

Dane Dobbie and Nick Rose continued to their clutch ways against the Victoria Shamrocks on Tuesday night.

The Rocks dropped a 10-9 overtime loss in Game 5 and trailed 3-2 in the Western Lacrosse Association semi-final series which continued with Game 6 in Coquitlam on Wednesday night, past the News’ press time.

Veteran Ads sniper Dobbie scored five goals on Tuesday, and had 17 in the

first five games of the series.

Goalie Nick Rose came back with a

major effort to stop the Shamrocks from winning

a third straight game. The 2012 WLA MVP, who is argu-ably the best box lacrosse goalie in the world right now, stopped 55 of 64 shots.

Visit Vicnews.com for an update on the Shamrocks. If necessary, Game 7 goes Sun-day, 7:45 p.m. at Bear Moun-tain Arena.

Victoria runner part of growing sport

Travis PatersonNews staff

One guarantee for Sunday after-noon, is that Randy Duncan will be hurting.

The Victoria resident is running the Fat Dog 100 trail race from Kere-meos to Manning Park, tomorrow (Aug. 18) and Sunday.

Ultra-marathons, or endurance races, typically begin at 50 kilome-tres. But there are several Fat Dog distances, 18 (29km), 30 (48km), 50 (81km), 70 (112km) and 120 miles (193km), and Duncan’s doing the biggest one.

It’s a race he wants badly to finish, having come undone his last time out.

“I attempted this race two years ago but had to pull at 21 hours, about 130 kilometres (80 miles) in, with a leg injury. I was literally lift-ing my leg with my arms anytime I had to climb, and I had to stop.”

The cut-off for finishing the race is 42 hours, which won’t be the prob-lem. Enduring pain, that’s the real challenge.

It’s a challenge more and more runners are OK with. The sport isn’t new, but is enjoying a steady growth, stealing athletes away from the mar-athon and triathlon communities.

While Duncan is doing the Fat Dog, his girlfriend and training part-ner Lori Herron will be taking it somewhat easy, in preparation for the Cascade Crest 100 mile, Aug. 25 to 26, which starts and ends in Eas-ton, Wash.

That race is sold out, and Herron only got in by lottery, with Duncan’s blessing.

“Lotteries are actually quite com-mon with the popular ultras,” Dun-can said.

The 51-year-old lineman from B.C. Hydro is in his 11th year of long-dis-

tance races. His family’s health his-tory convinced him to get in shape. It started with swimming, turned into a few marathons and triathlons, including three Ironman triathlons.

“I think the Ironman helped train me not to listen to that voice in your head,” Duncan said. “The pain threshold for ultras is greater than Ironman, because you go much longer. You have that voice, a self-defence mechanism, telling your-self ‘you won’t hurt yourself if you walk.’”

This weekend is also the Leadville 100 in Colorado, made famous by the 2009 running book Born to Run, which, like the race, has ascertained cult status among endurance run-ners.

Victoria’s Mike Suminski, a well-known long-dis-tance running coach, is there to run it for the third time. He first did it as a 50-year-old in 2002, did it again as a 55-year-old in 2007 and is now doing it for the third time as a 60-year-old.

As a coach, marathoners still make up the bulk of his clientele.

“Ultra is starting to build up a bit but 90 per cent are marathoners,” Suminksi said.

“When I ran my first 100-miler in Leadville there was myself and five others in my support crew. This year there are five runners and 16 support people from Victoria.

“People want to get off the roads, where they’re sucking up fumes from cars, and are getting onto trails which are beautiful and more forgiv-ing for the knees.”

Twelve of the Victoria crew arrived in Leadville on Aug. 5, in order to acclimatize for the Aug. 18 to 19 race.

Going the extra miles• Suminski uses organic baby

food on his training runs, because “it goes down so good.”

• The Fat Dog 100 was first held in 2010 but some runners realized the course was actually 124 miles on their GPS, and it is now advertised as a 120-mile race.

• Fat Dog gets its name because once it reaches Manning Park it fol-lows the Fat Dog Trail.

• Training runs for Duncan are up 50km. One route he enjoys is from Thetis Lake to Mt. Work.

“When you run this much, you find all kinds of new trails and it’s surprising what connects around the Island.”

SPORTSNEWSIN BRIEFSometimes 100 miles isn’t enough

Travis Paterson/News staff

Long distance runner Randy Duncan of Victoria is running the Fat Dog 120-mile endurance race from Keremeos to Manning Park this weekend. In June Duncan and girlfriend Lori Herron did the Easter Seals 24-hour relay at UVic’s Ring Road, completing 165 km.

“Endurance running is an older athlete’s game, and I’m a good LSD runner – long, slow distances.” – Randy Duncan

Clutch Adanacs pick Rocks apart

VIJHL preseason takes big stage

The newly expanded Vancouver Island Junior B Hockey League preseason is nearly here as teams open training camps this week.

Saanich Braves training camp opens today (Aug. 17).

On Friday, Aug. 31, the Braves host the expansion Westshore Wolves for a pre-season at Save-On-Foods Memorial Cen-tre, 7:30 p.m.

The game is a Cops for Cancer fundraiser, and admission is by donation, with profits from the 50-50 tickets and the intermission Frisbee toss going to this year’s Tour de Rock.

The Braves are also celebrating the their 45th anniversary. Every home game this season will have giveaways to the first 45 people through the door.

Junior paddler fourth in world

Victoria’s Isobel Glover was fourth in the single event U16 500-metre race at the Va’a World Sprints held in Calgary earlier this week.

Glover, of the Vic-toria Youth Paddling Centre, won 10 medals at the recent B.C. Summer Games.

Black Eagles second at B.C.s

The Victoria Black Eagles pee wee AAA baseball team finished second in the province Sunday. The Eagles lost 5-1 in the cham-pionship final to the top-seeded Cloverdale Spurs.

During the round robin the Black Eagles finished second in their pool, going 2-1. They scored five runs in the first inning of the semfinal, en route to a 9-6 defeat of the Abbotsford Angels.

The summer all-star team is composed of 12- and 13-year-old boys from Saanich, the Peninsula and the West Shore, represent-ing the Greater Victoria Baseball Association.

Kaufman challenges for MMA titleTravis PatersonNews staff

Victoria’s Sarah Kaufman is back in the cage this weekend. Kaufman will fight Ronda Rousey in hopes of re-acquiring the Strikeforce mixed martial arts ban-tamweight world title Kaufman lost to Miesha Tate last year.

The fight is Saturday night in San Diego, and will be aired on Superchannel.

It’s the first defence of the title for Rousey, who’s thrived on the media spot-light since winning the belt from Tate.

With UFC parent company Zuffa having bought Strikeforce, and due to the growth

of MMA overall, publicity for the fight has eclipsed all previous female fights and is bringing the women’s side of MMA to new heights.

The match also captures several of the ongoing controversies found in women’s sports.

Rousey, a media manipulator, cited her own beauty above Kaufman’s, part of a ploy to aid her marketability which Kauf-man called classless. Kaufman’s initial reactions were also quite candid.

On Wednesday, Rousey was featured in a one-sided, all-access show on U.S. cable channel Showtime.

Gorge paddlers sweep K1 provincials

Travis PatersonNews staff

Two weeks ago Levi Rasmussen, Pat-rick Dann and Elias del Valle swept the podium in the under-18 K1 sprint at the canoe/kayak provincial championships in Burnaby.

That same week, they were spurred on by the Olympics, when they stayed up past 4 a.m. to cheer on Canadian paddlers Mark Oldershaw and Adam van Koeverden, who each won medals.

“It’s a good time for competitive kayak-ing,” Rasmussen said.

As a result of their success at provin-cials, all three are headed to the 2012 Canadian Sprint CanoeKayak Champion-ships in Dartmouth, N.S., from Aug. 22 to 25.

Dann led the way at provincials, win-ning the men’s under-18 K1, with del Valle and Rasmussen finishing second and third, respectively, in that category. Dann

and del Valle paired up for a K2 win too. It’s not yet known just how many events each will race at Dartmouth, though they’ll all be in the K1 200-, 500- and 1,000-metre sprints for sure.

“Right now I’m really happy just to be going to nationals,” Rasmussen said.

All three will start Grade 12 at Vic High in three weeks. That’s where Dann and del Valle, who’ve both raced over five years, convinced Rasmussen to come out to the Gorge Rowing and Paddling Centre to take up the sport last year.

RIDING

FOR MOMCharla HuberBlack Press

Being a rider on the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock is a personal mission for West Shore RCMP Const. Harrison Teed.

When he was 14 years old his mother was diagnosed with cancer.

“When I was so young I didn’t know; I thought she was going to die,” said Teed, adding his mother has been cancer-free for 11 years.

“It was tough for me to deal with this at 14, and now I try to picture myself (in the place of my mother) let alone two, three and five years dealing with this.”

More people are surviving from cancer than they were a decade ago and Teed credits that to the hard work of cancer researchers and fundraising efforts like the Tour de Rock.

When he told his mother what he is training to do she was happy and proud of her son.

While Teed enjoys cycling, gearing up for the tour is what has gotten him back on the bike.

“It’s been probably over five years since I’ve been on a bicycle,” Teed said. Now he rides upwards of three days a week.

“Although it’s hard work riding and training, it’s absolutely nothing compared to what the kids are going though. Those are the ones who are suffering,” Teed said.

Teed has been with the West Shore RCMP detachment for four years. He grew up in Eastern Canada and his father was also in the RCMP.
