Mary-Jo Morin is ready to defend herself and her dog Zeebo with a golf club if necessary from a deer attack. Morin was approached recently near her home in the Rockland area by a doe with two fawns.
Aggressive deer chases woman Neighbours help scare potentially dangerous animal away Daniel Palmer News staff
A Victoria woman who was chased by an aggressive deer last week is afraid to walk in her own neighbourhood. Mary-Jo Morin, a Rockland neighbourhood resident, said she was walking her dog Aug. 14 on Rockland Avenue when a deer came within a metre of her and exhibited extremely aggressive behaviour.
“I started screaming, my neighbours came out and chased it off,” Morin said, adding the incident is the fourth encounter she’s had with what she believes is the same animal and her fawns. “If she had got me with her hooves or my dog, we would have been really badly hurt,” she said. Morin called a provincial conservation officer, who attended the area but was unable to locate the deer. “He asked me to take a picture of the deer next time. I said that would be a bit difficult because I was running away from it,” she said. Conservation officers rank calls by the
level of risk to the public, and with only one officer on shift in the Capital Region at any given time, bear and cougar sightings tend to take priority. “We’re getting a lot more calls about aggressive deer, but so far, nobody’s been injured by them,” said conservation officer Peter Pauwels. “Some pets have been attacked, but no people have been injured.” Pauwels said conservation officers have only two options with deer – kill them, or leave them alone.

A wolf haunting Discovery Island likely made a quick swim and returned this month. “The last sighting we had was Aug. 16 on Trial Island,” said provincial conservation officer Peter Pauwels. There are reports from Aug. 18 of a wolf howling on Chatham Island, suggesting the wolf made the return swim. The wolf has been lurking on the islands since May when it was first reported by campers on Discovery Island. “We haven’t had any other sightings,” Pauwels said. “We don’t think it’s still on Trial Island.” Though other Gulf Islands are occasional destinations for lone wolves, being adjacent to natural wolf habitat, this is the first for Chatham, Discovery and Trial islands. Saturna had one 10 years ago and Sidney Island about 15 years ago. The pack animals aren’t usually seen solo. “Every once in a while an individual wolf will leave a pack for what we think is conflict within the pack,” Pauwels said. “They usually don’t stay on their own too long because they are a social animal. They like to live in groups.” Attempts to trap the wolf in early August were unsuccessful. While the wolf has yet to rejoin its pack or join another group, the conservation service doesn’t have immediate plans to revisit relocating the wolf. “The wolf hasn’t demonstrated any aggressive behaviour there,” Pauwels said. “If it were to stay on those islands it might become accustomed to people and that’s something we’d rather not see happen.” cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

Cyclist Ryan Mijker with son, two-year-old Ilya rides along Fort Street. Mijker is lobbying for an integrated cycling network for the region.
The future of cycling With official community plans in place, region could create a collective transportation authority
Daniel Palmer Reporting A fragmented cycling network has long been an issue of contention for two-wheeled commuters in Greater Victoria. Ridership sits at 3.2 per cent in the region, a proportion that could increase to 15 per cent with proper infrastructure upgrades like separated bike lanes, according to research from municipalites where cycling
investment has occurred. “Studies seem to show confident cyclists are fine on the road,” said Victoria Coun. Charlayne ThorntonJoe. “But to get beyond that core ridership, you really do have to provide a greater sense of safety for more hesistant cyclists.” A University of B.C. study confirms this belief, showing 82 per cent of Canadians support government spending to create dedicated bike lanes. Last year, the CRD completed its Pedestrian and Cycling Masterplan. It identifies $275 million in needed infrastructure improvements to create an integrated cycling network, including 329 kilometres of separated bike lanes. “It’s a steep hill to climb, but I’m someone who likes to approach these things
incrementally,” said Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard, discussing the possibility of creating a regional transportation commission to oversee such projects. Ryan Mijker, board member of the Greater Victoria Cycling Coalition, said the benefits of cycling facilities far outweigh the initial costs. Dedicated trails like the Galloping Goose attract tourism dollars and can revitalize dead zones along the routes. “You can also move a lot more people a lot cheaper by bike than you can by car,” Mijker said. “The most important thing is to fix the gaps now. If we look at the cycling network in Victoria, it’s fragmented at best.” Municipalities always consider cycling upgrades as streets are dug up to replace aging infrastruc-

But with a 2013 budget of $250,000 for cycling improvements, Dellebuur said the city can only build a skeleton network as opportunities arise. Right now, those works include Craigflower Road, and the city is waiting to hear back from the province about sharing the cost of a bike lane down John-
son Street. “If the CRD goes through with sewage treatment, there may be some works happening along Dallas Road,” he said. “But that won’t be next year.” Earlier this month, Victoria passed its official community plan, which guides planning decisions for the next 30 years. It identifies major arteries of the city as “multi-modal transportation corridors,” and puts a greater emphasis on cycling

New features help protect Uplands Park Oak Bay council approves bike racks and information kiosk Brittany Lee News staff
Two new bike racks will soon call Uplands Park home, thanks to an initiative by the Friends of Uplands Park. The group proposed that two bike racks and an educational kiosk be placed in Uplands Park in late July, and was given the nod of approval by council last Monday night. The bike racks, to be located opposite the park’s main entrance along Beach Drive and outside of the Dorset Avenue entrance, will be funded by the Rotary Club of Oak Bay. Each rack costs an estimated $1,000. “Two is such a good start. It becomes an opportunity to educate people about the bylaw… and draws to the situation that bikes cause problems (in Uplands Park),” Kathleen Matthews, co-founder of the Friends
of Uplands Park said at Monday’s meeting. “They leave huge tire marks, they’re just pervasive.” Currently, there is signage at the park entrances notifying bikers that they are not to ride in the park, but people often do, according to Margaret Lidkea, co-founder of the group. “The bikes riding through the park have ridden through some of the 31 rare plant species, right through the middle of them, and have had quite an impact on them,” Lidkea said, noting the vernal pools have been especially affected. “Basically, it compacts the soil (in the wetlands) and that has an effect on the plants growing.” The design of the bike racks would be cohesive with the ones already in the municipality, Lidkea said. Oak Bay parks and recreation will supply labour and materials to install the two racks, at an estimated cost of $750. The aim is to have them in the park this fall, Lidkea said. The Friends of Uplands Park also has hopes that other environmental or community groups will come forward to supply
funding for additional bike racks to be installed next year. The group has identified Cattle Point and Midland as areas where bike racks may be placed in the future. However, before moving forward with the kiosk project, possible locations will be discussed with the Uplands Advisory Design Panel, as per council’s request. The Friends proposed it be placed at Cattle Point, next to the recently added Uplands Park sign. The current information kiosk is outdated and in need of repair, said Lidkea. “The information is completely dated on the old kiosk,” she said. “I’ve never seen anybody read that kiosk and I’m down there a lot.” The new kiosk would include trail maps and information about vernal pools and the ecosystem. A funding partner for the educational kiosk is, however, still needed. The estimated cost, including materials and labour, is just under $7,000. reporter@vicnews.com

“We don’t move deer,” he said, adding that tranquilization only occurs when an animal is confined to an area, such as when cougars climb a tree. “If it’s a serious threat to public safety, we’ll have to put it down. But in 20 years on the job, I’ve never heard of a deer attacking a person,” he said. The Capital Regional District’s 10-member deer management
committee is nearing its Sept. 5 deadline for a final report on how to deal with urban deer.

Morin hopes the CRD can come to a conclusion so she can regain a sense of safety in her neighbourhood. “We went through the bunny situation (at the University of Victoria), it took them years to resolve that.

According to family friend, Michelle Bressan, she is recovering well, but still has a long road ahead of her. Her mother Tamara Fisher, a single mom also raising a four-year-old son, has taken time away from work to be with her daughter. Friends of the Fishers are now rallying to raise funds to cover some of the family’s living expenses during Evanne’s recovery. On Aug. 21 Evanne and Tamara flew back to Victoria to begin that process. Bressan is organizing a car wash and barbecue on Sept. 8 at the West Shore Canadian Tire, 855 Langford Pkwy., as well as a silent auction. For more details, or to donate auction items, contact Bressan at 250-4746580 or mfbressan@shaw.ca.

On June 29 of this year the sevenyear-old fainted and was rushed to Victoria General Hospital, where doctors learned the heart she received at five weeks was damaged and she was in need of another heart transplant. Evanne was airlifted to B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver where she had a pacemaker/defibrillator surgically implanted on July 5. She has since been airlifted to Edmonton and back to Vancouver – during which time she endured two heart attacks and rounds of testing before she was placed back on the transplant list by the end of July. On the evening of Aug. 4, Evanne received her second new heart.

Coalition wants more cash for cycling facilities Continued from Page A3
“Right now, we’re in a wait-and-see mode,” said Leonard, who along with Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin, is advocating for CRD control over Greater Victoria transit. An independent advisory panel recommended Aug. 14 that the province create legislation to allow greater local government input in B.C. Transit decisions. B.C. Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom will announce the provincial response to the recommendations at the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities conference in September. “If the province gives the CRD transit, that’s the first step,” said Leonard, adding a complete transportation commis-
sion could take two years to create. Rather than forcing each municipality’s council to lobby for provincial and federal cash independently, the CRD could then present stronger business cases and decide upon a steady funding model for transportation upgrades. A regional model requires all 13 municipalities to sign onto the agreement, which is a significant hurdle. Leonard argues those hurdles are a necessary evil. “Taxpayers should be relieved that the CRD can’t get into certain functions without the municipalities agreeing to it. ... There’s a check and balance here,” he said. In the meantime, the Greater

I think we’ll see a move towards a district-wide funding model,” Mijker said. dpalmer@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW
Playing catchup with care homes W
hen people are nearing the end of their lives, our health system needs public facilities that are safe and respectful, for the residents and their families. The need, while great now, will only increase over the next decades as this population of Greater Victoria ages. In the region, about one in every five people is older than 65. About six per cent are older than 80. Which is why breaking ground on The Heights at Mount View couldn’t come soon enough. Planned for 260 beds, this $60 million residential care facility on Carey Road in Saanich – part of what has been coined “the campus of care” – will replace two older care homes in downtown Victoria. It’s reasonable that some residents in the Carey Road area are peeved a seven storey building is going up in the midst of mainly single family homes. Saanich council heard the protests but recognized that the convergence of having public land, funding partners and the political will as too rare to pass up. Rezoning for density and height makes sense in this case, despite breaking the mould for the neighbourhood. Oak Bay council may want to take a lesson from this. That council denied a few variances to allow Oak Bay Lodge to be redeveloped with 320 care beds. It called the proposed building too big for the neighbourhood. If communities want their seniors to age in place and near amenities, communities have to play ball and be willing to provide the means to do so. There are no perfect locations, especially in urban centres, for large residential care buildings. But they remain a necessary option for seniors who can’t care for themselves. These projects just aren’t about replacing aging beds and old buildings with modern equivalents. As the operator, Baptist Housing, put it, it’s about moving away from the institutional model of caring for seniors. To say it another way, it’s trying to get rid of the warehousing of our most vulnerable citizens. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@oakbaynews.com or fax 250-386-2624.

Which means Saunders is essentially running a year round film festival. Saunders created the weekly viewings in the Eric Martin lecture theatre in 1993, following a stint as an in-patient after his second attempt at suicide. He got an idea to use movies to create a positive environment for people with mental illness, at least a better option than regular TV. He ran his first Q&A in 1993, his first year of running Movie Monday. It was for Benny and Joon, a movie that deals with schizophrenia, with director Jeremiah Chechik. In the 1990s he also ran One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, perhaps the most famed movie about mental health, and spoke with director Milos Forman. Saunders is all for breaking down stigmas around mental health, but he runs all kinds of shows. “The Canadian films in particular of all the films we run are much more creative and important than what Hollywood offers, but people just don’t know about them.” This Monday (Aug. 27) he’s showing Love That Boy, a 2003 comedy from Halifax. - Travis Paterson is the Black Press regional sports reporter. sports@vicnews.com

(Ironically, the study to ignore the evidence: was funded in part by the record high worldwide Charles G. Koch Charitable
Foundation, founded by climate change skeptics with heavy interests in the fossil fuel industry.) Their conclusion? It’s not the sun. It’s not volcanoes. The most likely cause is humans spewing massive amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, mainly by burning fossil fuels. This isn’t news to most climate scientists. As evidence builds, deniers are starting to change their tune. They once said global warming isn’t happening, and some claimed the world is actually cooling. Now, heat records are being broken worldwide – this past decade was the hottest on record. Many scientists say the situation is even more severe than first thought, with temperatures and impacts increasing faster than predicted. Faced with the evidence, many deniers have started
to admit that global warming is real, but argue that humans have little or nothing to do with it. Muller’s study was just one of many to demolish that theory. Our climate has always changed, and natural variation is part of that. But scientists have long known that carbon dioxide and other gases trap heat in the atmosphere. Recent warming is occurring at an unprecedented rate that corresponds to burning fossil fuels. According to NASA, global average temperatures have been rising significantly since the 1970s, “with the 20 warmest years having occurred since 1981 and with all 10 of the warmest years occurring in the past 12 years.” North America just experienced the hottest July on record, and the first seven months of 2012 were the warmest, on
average, in more than 100 years. This evidence has caused some deniers to change their tune again. Yes, the Earth is warming, they say, but whether it’s from natural or human causes, we can’t do anything about it, so we might as well continue with business as usual, maybe employing technological fixes to help us adapt. There’s also a subset of deniers who see some nefarious conspiracy in climate science and “Agenda 21” (a nonbinding, voluntary UN agreement on sustainable development) to impose a world government or something, but their irrational arguments aren’t worth the time of day. The truth is, as most of us know, that global warming is real and humans are major contributors, mainly because we wastefully burn fossil fuels. We also
know solutions lie in energy conservation, shifting to renewable sources, and changing our patterns of energy and fuel use. Scientists have been warning about global warming for decades. It’s too late to stop it now, but we can lessen its severity and impacts. The side benefits are numerous: less pollution and environmental destruction, better human health, stronger and more diversified economies, and a likely reduction in global conflicts fuelled by the rapacious drive to exploit finite resources. We can all work to reduce our individual impacts. But we must also convince our political and business leaders that it’s time to put people – especially our children, grandchildren, and generations yet to come – before profits.

Readers respond: Songhees islands, ICBC, pipeline and speeding taxis Seek ways to keep islands in public use Re: Songhees limit access to Discovery Island (News, Aug. 3) It will be sad to see Chatham and part of Discovery islands closed to public use because of a few inconsiderate jerks. I can understand the Songhees wanting to protect their property from harm and to keep it clean and tidy. My proposal is that the Songhees consider renting the islands to the federal or provincial governments, and let them take responsibility for patrolling and maintaining them, ban all fires, and impose heavy

ICBC offers ‘best value’ to insurance customers Re: ICBC Executives Make Drunken Sailors Blush (Opinion, Aug. 22) Jordan Bateman must not have taken a look at comparable auto insurance coverage or the even more excessive executive salaries in the private sector if he thinks privatizing ICBC will be the solution to higher rates. Independent studies by Statistics Canada and the Consumers Association of Canada have shown public auto insurance gives the best value to customers. Since ICBC was established on March 1, 1974, British Columbians have enjoyed reduced insurance fraud, safer roads and lower rates. Part of this is because, ICBC was designed to operate on a non-profit, break-even basis. So where is the real issue? Executive salaries at ICBC are too high and should be dealt with, but that’s only exacerbated in the private sector. The biggest problem at ICBC, one that Mr. Bateman does not address, is
that the government hasn’t stayed true to ICBC’s breakeven mandate. Christy Clark’s government is treating ICBC as their cash cow, raiding over $1.2 billion from the corporation’s coffers even as they ask ICBC workers to continue their wage freeze and B.C. drivers to pay higher insurance premiums. If there are any savings coming out of the government review, how do we know they won’t be funneled back into government coffers? British Columbians need to know savings will be used to reduce rates for drivers and keep the unionized workforce at ICBC from falling further behind. When Manitoba’s public insurer was found to have overcharged its customers, they gave everyone a rebate. The government’s mismanagement of ICBC hurts both their employees and B.C. drivers. Siphoning off ICBC’s profits was never what was intended for our public insurance corporation. Jeff Gillies Vice-president, COPE 378
‘Ask voters’ best pipeline suggestion so far Re: Ask voters if they want a pipeline (Opinion, Aug. 15) Although B.C.

any piece of scraps thrown B.C.’s way by Alberta Premier Alison Redford. So your editorial is likely the best idea so far that I’ve heard. But as for Clark’s B.C.’s “fair share” ultimatum, hopefully Redford’s foolish, tight-fistedness will give only more reason for B.C.ers and perhaps even our government – not to mention fuel for the eco-warriors’ fight against the project – to just say, to hell with the whole thing.

Taxi speed, driving habits an issue Victoria-wide I read your articles about speeding taxis in James Bay. Taxis are out of control in Victoria – not just in James Bay. They regularly speed, make U-turns on Douglas Street, hold up traffic picking up customers. When the nightclub close, it is a complete zoo. It’s an accident waiting to happen. F. Reymerink Victoria

Walk-In Denture Clinic
Astronaut Julie Payette reflects on her work in space at UVic Monday
Happiness is a beautiful smile!
WHY WAIT? WE CAN HELP NOW!
Canadian astronaut Julie Payette floats in the space shuttle Endeavour during a mission to the International Space Station in July 2009. Payette is speaking about her experiences in space at UVic Monday night.
Natalie North News staff
Julie Payette doesn’t expect future generations to remember individual astronauts who assembled the International Space Station. But the 48-year-old Canadian astronaut, who logged 611 hours in space contributing to the mission, believes the engineering feat will go down in the history books. “It’s extremely humbling at times and it’s an extraordinary opportunity to contribute very slightly to a fantastic endeavour,” said Payette, the Canadian Space Agency’s former chief astronaut. “(It’s) one of the most important things that human beings have done … to construct in one of the harshest environments possible, outer space, for the sole purpose of advancing knowledge in a completely peaceful manner.” Payette, an electrical engineer and native of Montreal, was the first Canadian to board the International Space Station in 1999 during NASA’s second flight to the station on the spacecraft Discovery. After seven years as the Canadian Space Agency’s chief astronaut, and a decade after her first flight, Payette boarded the space shuttle Endeavour on its 29th mission to the space station. On that flight, Payette served as the flight engineer, the most senior position a nonAmerican can obtain on a space shuttle.

She was one of two Canadians and the only woman aboard. “After a while, characteristics like nationality, mother tongue or gender become very secondary,” Payette said in an interview from Washington D.C. “Other people expect you to do your job. If you do it well and with competence and you’re reliable, those little differences are secondary.” While the shuttle was docked to the ISS, Payette operated three robotic arms, alongside a record 12 other astronauts from five different nations. “People work as a team,” she added. “That’s the beauty of it. They do not stop at these kinds of details. If we brought back some of those lessons to Earth a little bit more, it could be useful.” Despite her commitment to education and physical determination, Payette sees experiencing life inside a spacecraft as less of a personal accomplishment and more of a professional duty she has been hired and trained to execute. But she also admits it’s the best job in the world. “To ride a rocket is an amazing ride. To go around the Earth at 28,000 kilometres an hour, circling once every hour and a half – to see how beautiful our planet is is a huge privilege –
then there’s weightlessness. It’s actually quite comfortable and a lot of fun to float.” In those moments of relaxation, Payette added to the experience by packing music from a range of Canadian artists – from Celine Dion on her first flight, to B.C.’s Theory of a Deadman on her second – as a tribute to the richness and diversity of the people she represents, she said. “It’s very peaceful to float to a window and see the Earth passing by below. … It’s the only place we have right now. More than seven billion of us share this one planet and at this moment there’s nowhere else we can go. “It’s our common spaceship. Astronauts are trying to take meticulous care of their spaceship because it is what keeps them alive in the harshness of space, well so is Earth, for all of us.” Payette will share experiences and images from her space flights during The Earth from Above: An Astronaut’s Perspective at 7 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 27 in the University of Victoria’s Farquhar Auditorium. All seats to the free lecture are currently reserved, though more may be released through the box office at 250-721-8480. nnorth@saanichnews.com

A post-tournament reunion barbecue was held later in the day. Guests received a copy of a book chronicling Cedar Hill Golf Club’s history, including details on the slot machine fiasco and Cedar Hill legends, such as junior champ and future pro golfer Gordie Scutt. The book, compiled by Aki Graber, has been in the works since the 50th anniversary of the club. “There was a hurry to talk with the people who remember while they’re still here to tell us,” Meiras said. “(The club) does have a colourful history and people are very attached.” nnorth@saanichnews.com

Lyle’s son Barney was a fan of the penny slot and had it hidden in his bedroom. Barney, who later became the head greens superintendent for Cedar Hill golf course, hung on to that machine and brought it back to the club for the anniversary celebration. “Cedar Hill is the story that won’t quit,” said Val Meiras, president of the Cedar Hill Golf Club. “It’s been a challenging year as Saanich closed down Cedar Hill restaurant.

Royals Intersquad Game
SPORTS Back in the ring Victoria Royals rookie and main camps go this week and next with the annual Intersquad Game at 7:05 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 29 at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre.
Former world kickboxing champ Stan Peterec to fight in fifth decade Travis Paterson News staff
It’s been awhile since Stan Peterec looked this good. The 53-year-old former world kickboxing champion dropped 45 pounds earlier this year during two months of training and coaching in Thailand. With the lost weight, he’s feeling good. So good, he’s getting back in the ring for the first time in more than a decade. This Saturday (Aug. 25) Peterec is headlining his annual event, Summer Slugfest VI, at Archie Browning Sports Centre. “When you’re fighting at this age, your heart and mind are in the right place,” Peterec said. “But the vehicle that is your body doesn’t run like it did.” Peterec last fought in 2000, a rematch of his 1997 mixed martial arts tilt with Dragyn Yoyanovic at the old Memorial Arena. “Stan still hits hard, which is what he’s known for,” said kickboxer Linsday Ball. The student of Peterec’s is a current world and Canadian title belt holder in the featherweight category, and regularly trains one-onone with Peterec. Until this year, Ball didn’t hold the pads for Peterec in training
sessions. But she now knows what Peterec is all about. “I’ve been bruised on my face and knocked to the ground from training sessions, even with the pads. You have to beware.” Ball spent the better part of the past year in Thailand, where she won a world title and then a world tournament in Korea. Peterec joined her at the same gym in February, and started “dropping weight like crazy.” “All of a sudden I lost 45 pounds, I was training and jogging everyday,” Peterec said. “He has the skills, so to watch him get into shape – it’s scary,” Ball said. “He started to out run me.” Ball is also fighting on Saturday night, against Kate McGraw from

For days like today!
“If I don’t knock (Hebert) out, I’ll have to work like a dog to keep him from killing me.” – Stan Peterec Los Angeles, Calif. “I’ve never seen Stan fight so I’m very excited.” Ticket sales and feedback are evidence that fans are excited to see Peterec back in the ring. Naturally at 53, there are also some who are worried about him, including himself. For starters, he’s fighting a 30-year-old named Tracy Hebert. “I’ve had most of my old pals saying ‘Why are you fighting this guy?’” Peterec said. “‘Take an easier fight,’ they tell me. And here I am taking on an in-your-face, high cardio guy who comes right at you.” About 10 years ago, Hebert came to Peterec’s for a few weeks to train and the two actually sparred, so they know a little bit about each other. Enough for Peterec to know he’s facing a very fit opponent. “If I don’t knock (Hebert) out, I’ll have to work like a dog to keep him from killing me.” Peterec has been organizing kickboxing and MMA fight cards since the ’90s, and fought a few times in the earlier days of MMA. But now he’s returning to kickboxing, the sport in which he was dominant as a world champion.
Travis Paterson/News staff
Stan Peterec hits hard, but at 53, he’s a question mark as a prize fighter for this weekend’s Summer Slugfest VI at Archie Browning Arena. The former world champ wants to join a rare club, with fights in five different decades. Peterec also wants to be the first Canadian to fight in five different decades. “(Panamanian fighter) Roberto Duran is famous for it, and Jack Johnson did it too. But I’ve searched, and asked around, and I can’t find any record of a Canadian
having done it.” Tickets are available at Sports Traders, 508 Discovery St., and Peterec’s Gym, 831 Fisgard St. Doors open at 6, fights at 7 p.m. Also on the bill are local favourites Hal Kreisel, Mike Downey, Alex Tribe and Rob Doerksen.
Players wanted as girls rugby expands CW girls rugby enters year two Travis Paterson News staff
Earlier this year the Canadian women’s sevens team won two of the International Rugby Board’s first world tournaments ever sanctioned. Yet Greater Victoria, the same city that hosts the women’s national program, has no formal youth program for girls. Last year the Castaway Wanderers rugby club changed that by starting one. Marley Riordan stepped up to coach, and this year, CW is hoping to add an under-18 team to its girls program of players aged 11 to 16. “But for one or two high school girls rugby teams, which face their own challenges in terms of numbers, there’s nowhere for teenage girls to play,” said Riordan.
“Now we’re getting interest from some 17 and 18 year olds, plus some of our own players are aging up.” The coach is a former provincial champion with Burnaby Lake, and has coached high school rugby since she graduated high school in P.E.I. If the surname seems familiar, it is. Riordan adopted it from hubby Pat, the long time UVic Vikes forward who captained Canada at the 2011 Rugby World Cup. Marley came here to be an officer with the Victoria police, and is now on maternity leave to care for the couple’s six-month old son, Leis. CW’s girls program was mostly spearheaded by David Crossley, who’s daughter Caroline graduated CW’s mini rugby program. As is common with girls by 11 or 12 years of age, there was a boys team but no girls program to train with. All ages partake in training sessions, and on Sunday mornings the groups will be split into U16

Youth rugby begins in September. Registration is this Sunday (Aug.
26) from 10 a.m. to noon at Windsor Park Pavilion. Players can also register online at cwrugby.com, or call Ian MacLean at 250-721-1527 for more info. sports@vicnews.com
Kickboxer Varga on world stage World champion kickboxer Gabriel Varga of Saanich has signed a contract to expand his career as a pro fighter. Varga, a former student of Stan Peterec, currently holds the World Kickboxing Network and World Kickboxing Federation belts in the super lightweight weight class of 135 to 140 pounds. The Lambrick Park secondary grad will realize his dreams next month by fighting in the K-1 organization in Los Angeles on Sept. 8. Varga, 24, will face Lerdsila Chumpairtour, 31, who has over 230 fights. Later this year Varga, who was the headliner of Summer Slugfest I in 2007, will achieve another goal, as he received permission to fight for the International Sport Karate Association’s pro title. sports@vicnews.com

But the hat is just a placeholder, same as the Victoria Baseball Club name, McLean said. Prior to the press conference McLean also clarified any confusion around the role of the GM, which in the big leagues is related to the roster. But there is no trading in the short, 54-game WCL season. The field manager does the recruiting and players sign a new contract every year, as long as they are NCAA eligible, which means they cannot be under contract to an MLB team. As for the stadium, Jones said she’s looking forward to using the Daktronics video board, which was installed and is owned by Darren Parker, owner of the now-defunct Victoria Seals (2009 to 2010). “I’m not entirely up to speed VICTORIA Travis Paterson/News staff on the (agreement of use) for the VICTORIA VICTORIA VICTORIA Holly Jones addresses the media at her introduction at Royal Athletic Park on Tuesday morning. scoreboard but we’ll do some digJones is the first general manager of the soon-to-be-named Victoria Baseball Club of the amateur ging to figure it out.” West Coast League, which begins in 2013.

One name down, two to go. Owner John McLean of the Victoria Baseball Club introduced Holly Jones as the team’s first general manager at Royal Athletic Park, the team’s home park, on Tuesday. Jones is originally from Oregon but comes with a decorated sales and marketing resumé, including time spent at the National Basketball Association’s head office in New York. She also brings three years experience as the assistant general manager of the Corvalis Knights (Ore.), recent winners of the West Coast League. “This is meant to be an exciting league with promotions and giveaways every night and ideally that’s what we’ll have,” Jones said. As GM she’ll handle the day-today business side of the franchise and was already five days in, she said. First up is the next two names to be added to the club.

ooke RCMP Const. Steven Martindale is one of 18 Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock riders who will cycle the length of Vancouver Island to raise money for pediatric cancer research next month. Originally from the Okanagan, Martindale, 39, has served with the Sooke RCMP for the last five years. After attending “How often do you and assisting get a chance to with various do something like Tour de Rock events as a this and make a police officer, difference?” Martindale became – Const. Steven interested in Martindale participating as a rider. “I was always asked, ‘When is Sooke going to have a rider?’ So I just decided, ‘Hey, I would do it,’” he said. His decision to participate was made definitive two years ago, when he had a growth removed from his head two days prior to the annual Cops for Cancer Red Serge dinner. Fortunately, the growth was later determined to be benign,

It’s the kids who have to go through treatment, they’re the real heroes out of all this.”

Martindale has also lost an uncle and cousin, who had two young daughters, to cancer. “We’ve all lost someone, it’s kind of the one great unifier that everyone has a cancer story.” Although the Tour de Rock is a test of physical endurance, Martindale said it’s also about being part of a team, supporting a greater cause and bringing deaths from pediatric cancer down to zero. “Kids shouldn’t have to go through cancer,” he said. “Zero’s the number that

we’re striving for.” Along with regular training rides, Tour de Rock riders also attend regular events -- one of which was a visit to Camp Goodtimes in Maple Ridge, a camp for children with cancer. He said the experience was “uplifting,” as many of the children, although sick, behaved as they should -- like kids. The riders held a casinothemed fun night for the children, where many laughs were shared. To be able to give happiness back to a child who’s going through chemotherapy or cancer, is priceless, Martindale said. Although seemingly reserved and stoic, Martindale said it will be emotional once the ride begins Sept. 23. “It’ll be very emotional, too, going through all of these towns and seeing the support that perhaps the RCMP hasn’t had lately.” Tour de Rock riders will travel from Port Alice all the way down to Victoria over a 14-day span. The cyclists fundraise for their 1,000-kilometre bike ride to help raise money for pediatric cancer research and programming for children with – or who have had a history with – cancer.
