UVic on path toward fall strike Labour board to rule on essential services after negotiations fail 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.” PLEASE SEE: Classroom disruption not expected, Page A5

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.

Pedestrian safety downtown revisited Daniel Palmer
Large selection of sandals up to 50% off.
Friday, August 17, 2012 - - OAK
The downtown Victoria intersection where a 27-year-old pedestrian was killed is unsafe for buses, according to B.C. Transit’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 Chinatown. City council downtown liaison 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 vulnerable than vehicles,” she said, adding she would like to see tour bus restrictions on two-lane roadways like Government Street. A greater number of North American cities are introducing pedestrian scrambles, Helps said, where drivers are stopped
in all four directions to allow pedestrians to cross to any corner of an intersection. “That’s a smart, simple and easy way to remedy the problem,” 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 measures 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 downtown. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Weekend party with the stars Charla Huber News staff
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 gathering at the Metchosin municipal grounds, 4450 Happy Valley Rd. for a weekend of gazing at stars, watching solar storms and camping out. The Royal Astronomical Society 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 wanting 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 magnetic 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 Buttnor’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 eyepiece 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 comets. “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 telescope. 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 Friday at 6 p.m. to Sunday at noon. There is no charge to attend, but donations are appreciated. Food and drink are not provided. For more information, go to victoria.rasc.ca/events/StarParty. charla@goldstreamgazette.com
Classroom disruption not expected Continued from Page A1
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

Community input still ahead Continued from Page A1
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 dollar value for the project,” said Seamus Howley, 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 property.”
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 parking 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 parking stalls on the site
instead of the municipal bylaw’s stated 260. The school currently has 125 spots. “There’s good support for these changes around the table,” Jensen said. “And certainly, 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 finalized, it would be up to the school district to incorporate the changes in its request for design proposals, Jensen said.

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 community.” Council will look at the approval at its next regular council meeting Monday (Aug. 20). reporter@vicnews.com

It’s about time for online voting D
uring 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 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?

Travel to India through Mela Celebrate the sights and sounds of Indian culture Arnold Lim News staff
You are invited to a mela. The third annual Indian Mela returns to Victoria’s Centennial Square this weekend where organizer Sabba Sall believes new experiences await Victorians at the two-day festival. “Mela, in our language, is a celebration,” Sall said. “It is very common in India, going back 4,000 to 5,000 years. It is the sharing 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 celebrating 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 opportunity for the Indian community to show a part of themselves, who they are and where they come from.”
“It is not every day I can dress up in an Indian Bhangra,” said Saanich resident Casmine Pandher. “It feels amazing to be recognized by the community. It makes me proud.” The 18-year-old Claremont graduate performs at the mela with dance troupe Apana Virsa for the third time. Having seen the audience grow every year, she is excited to perform in front of another large Arnold Lim/News staff crowd. Casmine Pandher will be one of the “Our everyday life performers showing off the Indian isn’t super traditional,” culture at Indian Mela in Centennial she said. “When these Square, this weekend. opportunities come up, it is important to “(We) are proud of two things, remind yourself of your of being Canadian and being heritage and the richness of the Indian.

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.

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

Arts grants maintained Tom Fletcher Black Press
The B.C. government has provided $16.8 million for community arts and culture grants for the current year, matching last year’s total with help from a dwindling 2010 Olympic legacy fund. Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Ida Chong announced the funding Monday in Victoria, 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 ministry 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 provincial gambling revenues. 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. Liberal 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 disabled. Premier Christy Clark promised to restore funds while campaigning for the party leadership 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 sometimes meets artists and organizations who are not aware that they can apply to the B.C. Arts Council for grants. Eligibility requirements and application forms are
available at bcartscouncil.ca. Greater Victoria recipients of funding include the Pacific Opera Victoria Society ($90,000), the Victoria Symphony Society ($86,000), Victoria Minor League Hockey Association ($63,000), Victoria United Soccer Association ($8,400), the Pacific Rim Field
Lacrosse Association ($10,000), Island Ukuleles: A Music Society ($12,000), Intrepid Theatre Company Society ($45,000), Victoria Youth Paddling Society ($13,125), Canadian Pacific Lawn Bowling Club of Victoria ($3,500) and Esquimalt Hockey Society ($15,000). editor@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

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.
