Five-year-old 911 caller earns praise Young girl taught by grandmother how to handle emergency A five-year-old Langford girl is being praised for calling 911 after her mother went into an epileptic seizure at home. On Aug. 15, RCMP dispatcher Chelsea Chang recieved an emergency call from a young child named Rebecca reporting her mother had fallen onto the cement in the backyard and was not getting up. The dispatcher stayed on the line with Rebecca while paramedics went to the scene. While talking, Chang learned that the girl was five years Audio online old, that her father was GoldstreamGazette.com at work and that she was at home with her two younger brothers, aged three and one. “Our dispatcher kept this very upset young girl on the phone, gleaning as much information from her as possible,” West Shore RCMP Cpl. Antonio Hernandez stated in a media release. “This call was high risk and emotionally difficult for this young girl, who needed to hear a friendly, calming and compassionate voice on the phone. She got just that, and together we were able to help her family.” When paramedics arrived they found a 31-year-old woman who had experienced an epileptic seizure. They helped the woman, reportedly now in good health. The girl later told police that her grandma had taught her how to call 911. West Shore RCMP are using the incident to remind people of the importance of teaching children about the emergency line. The family has been invited to come to the station so police can present the young girl with a gift of appreciation for her actions. news@goldstreamgazette.com

Audrey Van Eerden, left, and Ann Gargett, who belong to the Victoria City Rowing Club, pull into the dock after a morning row on Elk Lake last summer. Though Elk Lake is much larger than Langford Lake, rowers have still found themselves in conflict with other users of the popular lake.

Rowing proposal makes waves Municipality and SMUS looking to build new facility on Langford Lake Kyle Wells News staff

A proposed rowing facility could cause troubled waters for users and residents of Langford Lake. Plans by the City of Langford and St. Michaels University School (SMUS) to build a rowing facility on Langford Lake have some residents concerned over the impact to current lake users. The proposal includes building a rowing facility and using the lake for practices. A rowing lane would also run directly up the centre of the lake. Proponents say the move will bring more users to lake, create a rowing community and offer schools in the area the ability to restart long defunct rowing programs. Others are concerned rowers will disrupt other activities on the lake and spoil its usual serene, quiet ambiance.

Rowing season starts in early September and runs until late November, before picking up again in February until the beginning of June. Rowers would use the lake most school days from roughly 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m., along with some early morning training in the spring and some weekend training during the school year. Lakefront property owner Peter Ash has written an open letter to Langford opposing the rowing concept. He found out about the proposal by way of a pamphlet Langford distributed to lakefront property owners. He believes the community at large should be made aware of the idea and be able to have a say. “It kind of limits the knowledge base of what they’re attempting to do,” Ash said. The project will be paid for entirely by SMUS and will come at no additional cost to Langford taxpayers. Langford will provide funding for community use of the facility through the Amenity Reserve Fund. PLEASE SEE: Rowers eye Langford Lake, Page A10

Noxious weed endangers animals Tansy ragwort can be toxic to horses or cows Charla Huber News staff

T

ansy ragwort plants are in full bloom and need to be pulled before they seed, say several animal advocates in Metchosin. The invasive plant has bright yellow flowers and can be found along roadways, similar to Scotch broom. While broom is known to cause some allergies in humans, the ragwort causes problems for animals. It can be toxic if consumed by horses, cows or goats. “It combines with enzymes in their liver and makes the animals ill,” said Metchosin Coun. Moralea Milne. “It’s cumulative.” Once ingested it can lead to liver failure and even death. The flowers of the plant contain the majority of potential toxins. Milne pulls out the plant whenever she sees it. The invasive plant is not as overwhelming as other species, but it’s becoming more of Charla Huber/ News staff an issue. The cinnibar moth larvae are just If people start to help get the ragsome of the insects that Agriculture wort population under control it Canada imports to specifically target won’t get out of hand in the way tansy ragwort. that Scotch broom has. “Everytime I walk down Kangaroo Road I pick some,” said Kathy Atherton, trails liaison for the Metchosin Equestrian Society, adding she believes the plant can be kept at bay. “It’s easy to pull. In parts people are patrolling it’s working.” It’s peak season for ragwort right now and very soon the plant will go to seed. The seeds from the plant can remain active in the soil for up to 20 years. “Then, when there is any disturbance to the seed bank, it can germinate,” Milne said. The invasive plants have little yellow flowers and are super easy to pull out of the ground due to its shallow root system. “If you see it you should pull it out,” Milne said. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Metchosin Coun. Moralea Milne, left, and Metchosin Equestrian Society member Kathy Atherton are encouraging others to pull any tansy ragwort they come across. The invasive plant is more aggressive than usual this year.

Bound man gives RCMP the silent treatment Suffering stab wounds and showing signs of being held captive, man refuses to talk to cops Kyle Wells News staff

West Shore RCMP are scratching their heads over a man who showed up at a Shell gas station on the 2700 block of Spencer Road at 2 a.m., Saturday, Aug. 4, asking

for scissors to cut himself free from the plastic zip-tie his hands were bound with. The 22-year-old, who refused to speak with police after they were called to the gas station, also had cuts to his face. He had a ripped shirt, had been pepper sprayed and was wearing only one shoe. Despite the man’s suspicious appearance, RCMP let him go because he refused to co-operate with them and there was no reason to arrest him. Later that day, at around 8:20 p.m., police were called to Victoria General Hospital after a man had been admitted with a stab wound to his stomach. It turned out to be

the same 22-year-old. He had been picked up by ambulance at the intersection of Spencer Road and the Trans-Canada Highway. Hospitals are required to notify the police of all patients with gunshot or stab wounds. Again the man refused to speak to police. Police are unsure if the stabbing happened at the same time as the other injuries or if it happened between the man’s two encounters with police. RCMP are looking for any information anyone might have on the case. Sgt. Max Fossum said the man is a resident of Victoria and is known to police. Fossum could

not speculate on what might have happened. He did say it appears someone held the man captive and that whatever he is involved with is likely illegal, as he would not talk to the RCMP about it. “It definitely was not a prank or a joke,” Fossum said. “Something would have happened to this fellow and that’s why we want, for the public interest and safety, we would like to know what happened.” Fossum asked anyone with information to call their local police detachment or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

weekend picks:

Kyle Wells

Metchosin star party the place to be this weekend This is the weekend where things start looking up. And by things I mean telescopes. And the people using them. If I wasn’t going to be out of town this weekend for a high school reunion (already?!) I would head on over to the Metchosin municipal grounds to take in the sights of the night sky with the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada-

Victoria Chapter. On both Friday and Saturday there will be a variety of activities for would-be astronomers to take part in to learn about our solar system and beyond. For more information visit victoria. rasc.ca/events/starparty. If you’re looking for something a little more down to earth, the Medieval Village will be up and running at Fort Rodd

Hill all weekend. There visitors will be able to catch a glimpse of what life would have been like back in the 14th century, thanks to the knowledge and commitment of the Pacific Association for Recreating the Middle Ages. Check out the tents of armourers, weavers, carpenters, calligraphers and other age-old trades.

RCMP officers help save man’s life Unconscious driver had no pulse when police arrived Kyle Wells News staff

A man who drove through an intersection slumped over the steering wheel unconscious is still in hospital but alive thanks to the quick work of emergency personnel. The man, who is in his sixties, was still in hospital Wednesday after RCMP and other emergency workers performed CPR to bring back a pulse after the man passed out in his truck. Police were called after the truck was spotted coasting through a stop sign at slow speed at the

intersection of Bellamy Road and Phelps Avenue in Langford at about 11 a.m. on Monday. The truck ended up in a ditch and witnesses said the driver appeared to be slumped over the wheel. RCMP arrived in a matter of minutes after witnesses called 911. They pulled the man from the truck. He was not breathing and had no pulse. RCMP members Const. Carmen Hill and Cpl. Raj Sandhu performed CPR on the man for seven minutes until Langford Fire Rescue and B.C. Ambulance arrived. Paramedics used a defibrillator to start the man’s heart. He was taken to hospital still unconscious and had gone about 20 minutes with no pulse. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

And hey, it’s there all the time, but if you need to cool off now that the heat has finally arrived head over to Thetis Lake for a dip. The main beach can be a zoo but if you’re willing to walk a little ways around you can usually find a quieter spot. Have a good weekend. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

CRD eyes integrated cycling network Cycling is proving popular among local commuters, but a disjointed cycling network is keeping ridership low, according to a Capital Regional District report. The Pedestrian and Cycling Masterplan cites ridership at nine per cent for some areas of the city, and at 3.2 per cent for Greater Victoria. But an integrated cycling network could boost numbers to 25 per cent in Victoria,

the report states. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most important thing is to fix the gaps,â&#x20AC;? says Ryan Mijker, board member of the Greater Victoria Cycling Coalition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we look at the cycling network in Victoria, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fragmented at best.â&#x20AC;? The estimated $275 million cost of implementing the CRDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cycling plan isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a drop in the bucket. But with several local mayors pushing

for a regional transportation commission at the CRD, municipalities could soon be pooling their transportation dollars for collective projects, making them much more feasible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a steep hill to climb, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m someone who likes to approach these things incrementally,â&#x20AC;? said Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Victoria celebrates Ryder Hesjedal Daniel Palmer

On Friday, cyclist Ryder Hesjedal returned to a city still basking in the glory of his Giro-dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Italia win, where he became the first Canadian to take top spot in a Grand Tour. On Aug. 10, hundreds of fans lined Douglas Street and filled Centennial Square to welcome back Hesjedal. One enthusiastic cycling couple even honoured the athlete by naming their five-week-old son after him. Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin declared Ryder Hesjedal Day and unveiled custom-designed bike racks to honour the cyclistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s achievements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ryder is a wonderful example of the passion and determination of our local athletes,â&#x20AC;? Fortin said

Hesjedal was visibly moved from the support, taking the time to speak with the crowd and to give back to local cyclists. He presented Nigel Ellsay of Courtenay and Annie Ewart of Victoria with cheques through his organization Ryders Cycling Society of Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to be able to give back to the sport that has given me so much,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To represent Canada internationally, I know how hard that is, and the sacrifices that you need to make along the way.

Mysterious rooftop figure a reminder to lock up RCMP warn against keeping windows open at night Kyle Wells News staff

“Why would my neighbour be checking his gutters at 5 a.m.?” That’s what one resident of a townhouse complex in the 500 block of Acland Avenue in Colwood thought on Saturday, Aug. 11 when he was woken up by a man on the roof. The man was using his cellular phone for light. Thinking it suspicious, the resident went downstairs to see what was going on but by that time the figure on the roof had left. Thinking he would ask about it in the morning, the man went back to bed.

The next day his daughter discovered one of the screens had been removed from an open window. At that point the man knew something wasn’t right and called West Shore RCMP. Police say nothing was stolen and they aren’t sure of the intention of the early morning trespasser. However, the incident serves to remind residents to be wary about leaving windows open or doors unlocked at night. “It’s a reminder to everybody, especially on those hot summer days, to have necessary security screens fitted if you’re going to open up your windows and doors,” Fossum said. “There are thieves out there and they will take advantage if you leave your windows or doors open.” Fossum said that break-ins do occur at the rate of around two or three per week on the West Shore. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW

It’s about time for online voting During 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. What do you think?

We have individual and team success stories all over the region, in various areas of interest, from athletics to business to academia. Unless those involved continue to be visible in our daily lives, or at least make the news on a semi-regular 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 government in office in Ottawa. But to expect people to keep carrying the torch much longer than when the next stories catch our attention is unrealistic. – Don Descoteau is the editor of the Victoria News. editor@vicnews.com

Parading your vessel It looked like a parade of boats at the entrance to Victoria’s harbour as one Victoria Clipper ship and a Harbour Ferry were inbound while another Clipper ship and a private yacht were outbound on a sunny summer morning.

LETTERS Biblical 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. Rev. J. McRee Elrod Unitarian minister (retired) Metchosin

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-PrivatePartnership (P3) approach to the sewage treatment project. We urge the CRD not to bow to seniorlevel government pressures in favour of a P3, and to reject any grants from them conditional upon a P3. If the seniorlevel 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 Stuart Saanich

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 engineering 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 taxpayer. 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 overruns, 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. Tony Rose Saanich

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 blamehumans-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 Sketchley Saanich

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?

Rowers eye Langford Lake facility

Youth Pass!

Continued from Page A1

BC Transit offers a special pass for youth throughout the year. The BC Transit Youth Pass gives riders ages 6 to 18 unlimited travel throughout the Victoria Regional Transit System. Just $35 per month for a minimum of six months. For details visit www.bctransit.com and click Victoria â&#x20AC;&#x201C; fares.

IF ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S GREEN...

JUST GO!

Plans also include the construction of a boathouse, including change rooms and storage, and docks in an area that is currently parkland in the northwest corner of the lake. The facility would be laid out in such a way as not to block the walking trail that goes around the lake. The plan also calls for an outdoor, fenced area to store boats and trailers. Two docks would be built â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one for rowing boats, the other for wakeless electric coach boats. Langford parks manager Mike Leskiw said that they only recently approached residents who live on the lake and are wait-

ing to hear their feedback, which will be brought to city council. Council will then make the final decision over whether the plan can go ahead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we went around, we talked to people and received feedback,â&#x20AC;? Leskiw said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As with any proposal, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people for it and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people against it. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a tally yet.â&#x20AC;? Darren Wright, co-owner of Island Outfitters, a downtown sport fishing store, said the proposal has the potential to seriously impact fishing and other activities on the lake. His customers have expressed similar concerns and the store is encouraging people to contact Langford with their concerns.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;To put a rowing club on such a small, little lake, that would be the single use for that lake,â&#x20AC;? Wright said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody else could use that lake if you did that to it. ... I think before they let it happen, they have to make sure that the public is on side and you have to put that forward to the public.â&#x20AC;? Ash believes SMUS is the only group that will benefit from the project. He said many lake user groups will suffer as a result. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see any benefit to the community,â&#x20AC;? Ash said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it will bring any benefits to the current lake users. I think it will deteriorate the opportunities for the current lake users.â&#x20AC;? kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

UVic on path toward strike Picket lines could greet students returning to the school in early September Kyle Slavin News 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 university 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-president of human resources, said in a July 20 notice posted online: “It continues to be the university’s desire to reach a negotiated settlement at the earliest possible opportunity. We remain hopeful that this can be achieved without a major disruption.” 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 contracts since March 31, 2010. Students won’t face disruptions in the classroom, 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 University of Victoria have a very strong interest in getting 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 students 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 protection. 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 hemorrhaging college and university budgets.” CUPE says the province’s administrative service delivery transformation project could mean privatization of union jobs at post-secondary institutions. “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 spokesperson wrote. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Help see the island music scene survive Producer hopes to keep, grow Island Music Awards Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

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 justify 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 important 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 everybody is in that loop.” Last month he started a campaign to get 50 businesses to support 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 usually happens in April. Ladysmith artist Ryan McMahon 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 recognized 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,” McMahon said. “I realized (the awards) was going to be something that could generate awareness.” The jury liked his acoustic solo

for 2012. Afterward, McMahon toured Western Canada again. When he hit Winnipeg, 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 photo courtesy of PlayInVictoria.net of the West, Ryan McMahon of Ladysmith, 2012 artist of Terry David Multhe year, performs during the April 21 event at ligan, and David Fairfield United Church.

Cynics, Hayley Sales, Alex Cuba, McMahon was also male vocal- Christine Evans, Todd Butler and ist of the year and artist of the year 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 musicians to the general public.” For details on sponsoring the 2013 event email info@ jameskasper.com or get details at islandmusicawards.com. cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

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 settle down as a St. Andrew’s high school teacher. But to satisfy his creative itch, O’Brien convinced his three children 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, bluegrass 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

The O’Brien’s are celebrating their live album release Aug. 17 at St. Michael’s University, recorded at a January 2012 performance at Alex Gooldin Hall. 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 family’s debut album. For more information, visit paulobrien.ca. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Junior paddler fourth in world

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. • 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 follows 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.” sports@vicnews.com

Kaufman challenges for MMA title Travis Paterson News 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 bantamweight 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 spotlight 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 Kaufman 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. sports@vicnews.com

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 Victoria 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 championship 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, representing the Greater Victoria Baseball Association.

Gorge paddlers sweep K1 provincials Travis Paterson News staff

Two weeks ago Levi Rasmussen, Patrick 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 kayaking,” Rasmussen said. As a result of their success at provincials, all three are headed to the 2012 Canadian Sprint CanoeKayak Championships in Dartmouth, N.S., from Aug. 22 to 25. Dann led the way at provincials, winning the men’s under-18 K1, with del Valle and Rasmussen finishing second and third, respectively, in that category. Dann

Travis Paterson/News staff

Victoria athletes Levi Rasmussen, Patrick Dann and Elias del Valle are headed to the 2012 Canadian Sprint CanoeKayak Championships next week. 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 1,000metre 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. sports@vicnews.com

RIDING

FOR MOM West Shore Mountie rides in Tour de Rock in honour of his mother Charla Huber Black Press

B

eing 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.
