Island Health tops complaints in B.C. More than 1,100 grievances recorded against health authority last year

Daniel Palmer Reporting

Island Health garnered more complaints than any other health authority in B.C. last year, but officials say it’s simply a sign the process is working. The Patient Care Quality Review Board received 1,122 complaints about Island Health (formerly Vancouver Island Health Authority) in the past year, however only 12 of those complaints were accepted for review by the board. The highest number of complaints related to

patient care concerns. But the higher incidents are nothing to be ashamed of, said spokeswoman Sarah Plank. Rather, it’s a sign health officials are following proper reporting procedures, she said. “If someone is not able to resolve a concern with the care team directly, we would strongly encourage them to contact our Patient Care Quality Office. We actively promote this throughout the health authority.” Complaints are logged, allowing Island Health to keep better track of patient concerns, she said. Kelly Bradley, whose daughter was discharged prematurely after requiring emergency mental health services at Victoria General Hospital

last January, was glad to see several recommendations in the board’s report. They include an assurance that emergency room doctors keep patients for observation or therapy before discharging them when necessary, and that acute care patients receive adequate follow-up from doctors. “(The Patient Care Quality Review Board) were the first people we contacted,” Bradley said. “I think this is a positive thing. We didn’t even have the emergency room doctor talk to us the last few times we went to the hospital. … I just hope other families won’t have to experience what we’ve experienced now.” Plank pointed out over 99 per cent of the complaints were

resolved at the local level, while eight recommendations, including those that stemmed from Bradley’s complaint, have all been addressed. “This is out of well over 500,000 patient encounters in just our hospitals alone last year, and thousands more through our community and residential services,” Plank said. In comparison, Fraser Health, which administers Lower Mainland health care, received 1,008 complaints and Vancouver Coastal Health received 943 complaints.

Few buyers for Anglican church lands News staff

Nearly four years ago, the Anglican Diocese of B.C. recommended closing 11 churches across Greater Victoria, and selling the property in a bid to reduce debt and reinvigorate itself in the face of shrinking congregations. Out of the 11, three have sold and two are leased by other organizations. The remainder are open for business as Anglican churches and no longer face imminent closure, largely by strokes of luck. “They were put all on the market at

once, the ones people wanted to buy immediately are the only reason (others remain),” said Rev. Chris Parsons, speaking for the diocese. “We only wanted to sell a certain amount and re-evaluate what was needed.” Properties like St. Saviour in Vic West and St. Martin in the Fields in Saanich sold, the former to a dance company and the latter to an evangelical denomination. St. Columba in Saanich’s Strawberry Vale and All Saints in View Royal have closed as Anglican churches and the space is leased out (St. Alban’s had sold in 2009, prior to the mass

sale). Others once on the block – St. David by the Sea in Cordova Bay, St. Peter’s in Lakehill, St. Philip and St. Mary in Oak Bay and St. Mary in Metchosin – survived by the grace of not being attractive to other organizations or property developers. “Lower Vancouver Island was overchurched, which came from our history of opening a church on every corner,” Parsons observed. “I feel selling properties is the nuts and bolts. The real change has to do with the ministry, it’s a longer process of change.” Parsons, the reverend for both St.

ing ... there’s a diligent review process for personnel and the viability of ministries.” “In the case of St. David and St. Peter’s, both help each other financially. When St. Peters needed a new roof, St. David paid the deposit,” Parsons said. “But they are unique communities. Cordova Bay is very different from St. Peters (in Lakehill). But we see opportunities ... to share services and be more collaborative.” A steadily declining congregational base, the basis for church closures and sales, and internal debates on issues such as same sex marriage still remain a problems for the Anglican Church. A report from the diocese estimated that in 2009 barely one per cent of B.C. residents identify as Anglican. St. David sees about 40 parishioners on Saturdays and Sundays, and St. Peter’s sees about 60 people between two Sunday services. Parsons said the individual parishes have much wider latitude to try new programs and innovations to stay relevant in the community. St. David, for one, has a “Messy Church” service on Saturdays with activities and games for kids. “Now we are doing some children ministry stuff, some is really successful,” he said. “We’ve given (the parishes) the freedom to try new things and not to be afraid of failure.” editor@saanichnews.com

VICTORIA NEWS - Wednesday, October 9, 2013 2013

Edward Hill/News staff

University of Victoria English professor Erin Kelly sits next to ‘Shakespeares Comedies, Histories and Tragedies,’ better known as the First Folio, a book printed in 1623 and which became the only printed text of such plays as Macbeth and The Tempest. The collection of four original Shakespeare Folios are on display at the Legacy Art Gallery in downtown Victoria until Oct. 23.

Valuable folio found in Victoria N

early 400 years after his death, the work of William Shakespeare remains among the most dissected, debated and recognizable prose in the English language. Victoria alone hosts Shakespeare in the Park and Shakespeare by the Sea and now Shakespeare Onstage-Offstage. The words of the Bard are never far from the lips of this city’s actors. But a number of his greatest plays – Macbeth, for one, The Tempest, for another – would have been lost forever if they hadn't been collected and published in 1623 in what is now called the First Folio. An original copy of the First Folio and the equally intriguing Second, Third and Fourth folios, are now on public display in the University of Victoria Legacy Art Gallery on Yates Street. Shakespeare's “Big Books” are part of the Shakespeare Onstage-Offstage celebration. Considered one of the most important printed books in the English language, Edward Hill the folios are housed in individual climate Reporting controlled display cases on loan from the Royal B.C. Museum. The Legacy Art Gallery hired a structural engineer to make sure the exceptionally heavy cases didn't fall through the floor. Fittingly, the First Folio is opened to a page with an iconic image of Shakespeare himself, originally etched as a woodcut portrait by someone who probably knew him personally, said UVic English professor Erin Kelly, who with professor Janelle Jenstad, curated the exhibit. Prior to the folio, Shakespeare's plays had been

printed on pamphlets, or not at all. A few years after Shakespeare died, two actors from his theatre company brought together the material, and had it printed as a large format “folio” – an expensive endeavour and reserved for the most important texts, such as Bibles. “They started work in 1622 to create a folio collection with all the Shakespeare plays – it has 36, but 18 had never been printed previously,” Kelly said. “If this book hadn’t been printed, we wouldn’t have plays like Macbeth, Twelfth Night, As You Like It, Antony and Cleopatra. “Hamlet’s soliloquy is only found in the folio. To understand the plays and the playwright would have been really difficult without this.” Around 230 to 240 First Folio books exist today, out of 750 printed in 1623, a good survival rate considering the Bodleian Library at Oxford, for one, ditched its copy after the Second Folio (i.e. the second edition) came out in 1632. “In the 17th century, the First Folio was just considered an old book,” Kelly remarked. The Third Folio is the rarest, after most prints were destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666. Fortythree are known to exist. Kelly, who has examined a First Folio edition herself, although not the one on display, said the books are a reminder that Shakespeare didn’t pen his enduring work in isolation, but was influenced by his actors and the community he worked in, and ultimately by editors and typesetters who printed (or misprinted) his work. “Shakespeare was part of a community. We all do our best work when we collaborate with others. It’s comforting to know the same is true with Shakespeare,” she said. “He is probably better because of the people

around him.” The actors and printers who created the First Folio took a big gamble in terms of recouping their costs. Kelly suspects the theatre company was exceptionally proud of those plays and its members had great affection for Shakespeare personally. “A folio is a big important book. They were assuming Shakespeare was worth the investment.” The First Folio at the Legacy Art Gallery is what is called a “sophisticated copy,” where some pages are reproductions or replacements of the original. “Of the First Folio, very few are complete and original and not mixed with other copies. Only a handful are original and intact. If you were 400 years old, you’d be lucky to have all your pieces,” Kelly quipped. The First and Third Folios are on loan from the University of Toronto. The Second and Fourth Folios are on loan, perhaps surprisingly, from the Legislature Library in Victoria. In the early 1900s Victoria resident Harrison Garside somehow amassed a collection of rare and valuable books which included the two Shakespeare Folios, a Thomas Hobbes first edition Leviathan from 1668, and several 16th-century bibles. “We’re not sure where he got his amazing and significant volume of books,” said Jenstad. “But he sold his collection to the provincial library.” The Shakespeare Folios are on display at the Legacy Art Gallery, 630 Yates St., until Oct. 23.

International students are choosing to attend Camosun College in greater numbers than ever. Figures released Tuesday

by the college show that more than 800 students from other countries are registered at Camosun this fall, which reflects an increase of nearly 36 per cent over last year. The announcement was made in conjunction with the

opening of an expanded Interurban campus office for Camosun International, which supports incoming international students and helps facilitate studies abroad. “Our business, (English as a Second Language) and tech-

nology programs at Interurban have shown strong growth,” Camosun International director Geoff Wilmshurst said in a release. Five new staffers have been added to the Interurban office, bringing the total there to nine. The department's Lansdowne campus office has a staff of 11. The increase in international students comes at a time when overall enrolment at the college is falling. Camosun’s total enrolment has dropped by more than a thousand students over the past three years, down to 18,698 for the 201213 year. The registration total for full-time equivalent students is also trending downward, dropping from a recent high of 10,511 in 2009-10 to 9,608 during the last school year. ddescoteau@ vicnews.com

This industry report shows clearly how the traditional ways of selling homes have become increasingly less and less effective in today’s market. The fact of the matter is that fully three quarters of homesellers don’t get what they want for their homes and become disillusioned and - worse - financially disadvantaged when they put their homes on the market.

Tour de Rock raises more than $1.2 million Daniel Palmer News staff

The 16th annual Tour de Rock may have come to an end Friday, but its legacy in the pursuit of a cure for cancer will ride on. The initial fundraising total sits at nearly $1.2 million for the two-week, 1,000-kilometre cycling tour across Vancouver Island, and fundraising will continue for another two weeks. It's cash that will provide a meaningful boost to both pediatric cancer research and programs that support children with cancer and their families, said Christy Sampson, director of community giving with the Canadian Cancer Society, B.C. and Yukon. “It’s been another amazing year for Tour

de Rock,” she said, extending thanks to all Vancouver Island communities and the 22-member team of media and police officers. The fundraising total will continue to rise until mid-October, when fundraisers present their tallies to the Canadian Cancer Society. Last Friday morning, Esquimalt High students welcomed the team's riders – comprised of 16 police officers, one military police officer, four media riders and a special guest –with $4,300 towards their efforts. Later in the day, Reynolds secondary students lined up to shave their heads in advance of its Tour de Rock pitstop. Reynolds managed another banner fundraising year of $91,204 as of

Monday afternoon, said Dean NorrisJones, fundraising organizer at Reynolds. “And that number will just continue to go up,” he said. Oak Bay High students also pledged at least $56,000 towards the cause. Const. Mike Russell, the sole representative for the Victoria Police Department on this year's tour, said he was humbled to be a part of the team. “You look at communities like Sayward and Port Alice, you're talking about communities with 200, 250 people, and they're raising $12,000, $16,000,” he said. “It's unbelievable.” The whirlwind tour came to a celebratory end in Centennial Square Friday afternoon, where the warm and

sunny weather was a welcoming sight after the rainiest tour on record. “It was actually quite empowering (with the weather),” said tour rider and Saanich police quartermaster Kevin Nunn, recalling the kindness of many Island communities, including Sayward residents who took the time to wash and dry the team's clothing overnight. “The amount of support was just so great. Back in Victoria, it was the honking of horns, the amount of applause and shouts of respect along the route. It was an honour and privilege to be part of something so special that you only do once.” To donate to this year's Tour de Rock, visit tourderock.ca. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Former Vic High teacher Frank Canacari will serve a four-month sentence in the community for stalking his ex-girlfriends. The sentencing by Victoria provincial court judge Jeanne Harvey wraps up more than three years of court proceedings for Canacari, who was convicted on one count of criminal harassment and two counts of being unlawfully in the homes of two women in 2010. Canacari, 46, showed no emotion as Harvey read out her reasons for sentencing. “Mr. Canacari continues to deny any criminal behaviour,” said Harvey, calling his behaviour a “gross invasion of privacy and an attack on the security each (woman) felt in their home.” Canacari was also ordered to undergo regular psychiatric therapy, in the hopes that he will come to recognize the severity of his crimes. “It’s particularly disturbing (Canacari) is unable or unwilling to acknowledge the impact of his behaviour,” Harvey said. Canacari has been on unpaid medical leave from the Greater Victoria School District since June 2010, when he was arrested at the school on the charges; he no longer holds a teaching certificate. Any hope of Canacari regaining his teaching certificate will now be decided by the Teacher Regulation Branch. dpalmer@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW

Bully tells us how to behave Attention all employers, you now have 21 days to establish a new policy for workplace bullying and harassment, or face the heavy hand of WorkSafe B.C. If you noticed the irony in that statement, good, because it’s just so ironic that one of the biggest bullies in the province is going to dictate anti-bullying policy to the rest of us. On Oct. 1 WorkSafe announced policy changes on bullying and harassment. It defines bullying and harassment under its Occupational Health and Safety policy as: a. includes any inappropriate conduct or comment by a person towards a worker that the person knew or reasonably ought to have known would cause that worker to be humiliated or intimidated, but b. excludes any reasonable action taken by an employer or supervisor relating to the management and direction of workers or the place of employment. Most of us understand that WorkSafe is trying to educate the working public that bullying and harassment are unacceptable. Most of us take that as a given and work in an environment where people behave with courtesy and professionalism towards others. Others aren’t so fortunate, but we wouldn’t be relying on WorkSafe B.C. to “save the day” if you’re working in a bad place. In its own outline, WorkSafe states there is no planned “enforcement blitz.” Rather, the provincial body will respond to enquiries and complaints – but not all – and will rely on inspectors to ferret out workplace bullies. As well, a victim first needs to file an in-house report before any action, if any, is taken by WorkSafe. We wonder how that will go over when you hand the complaint to the supervisor who’s named in the same report? The other difficulty we have in WorkSafe overseeing this is its own track record. As one editor put it, “Have you ever heard of a good story about someone filing a WorkSafe claim?” We’ve read far too many stories about injured workers who feel “bullied” by WorkSafe in regard to how they’re treated by case workers, the massive amount of paperwork they’re expected to complete when they’re not well, or even WorkSafe’s overruling of family doctors’ advice for their own patients. In the end, we would rather have WorkSafe inspectors looking for unsafe practices that can result in real physical harm to employees. This is a tangible goal and that’s what they do best. But now, to ask them to determine who said what, or even someone’s mental state, that’s something that even the judicial system has trouble deciding. - Campbell River Mirror What do you think?

Local politicians tore a strip off For a closer look at that, I recommend reports from the Surrey Health Canada officials at their recent convention, after years of Six murder trial now underway, or warnings that federal licences were the upcoming case against three scattered at unknown locations, accused assassins of Red Scorpion often used as fronts for larger growgangster Jonathan Bacon in ops.

Nick Volkow suggested the response would echo an old Cheech and Chong routine: “Dave’s not here, man.” Here’s another reason not to support Larsen: the conduct of his organizers. One fellow set up a petition table at, of all places, the Terry Fox Hometown Run in Port Coquitlam. After scrawling “pot cures cancer” on the table, he proceeded to interrupt speeches by cancer survivors and the run itself by yelling the same false slogan. You can imagine how people with terminal cancer and their loved ones would react. Some would know that marijuana may alleviate side effects of chemotherapy, just as it can ease suffering for some multiple sclerosis patients. But the suggestion of a cure is as cruel as it is moronic. Larsen’s “cannibus” has been rolling around B.C., reaping uncritical media coverage. It even blundered into the recent Walk for Reconciliation in Vancouver, an event to mark the end of federal hearings into the effects of residential schools on aboriginal children. I wouldn’t support the Larsen bunch for anything, unless it involved them looking for jobs. Just say no. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

ona Jean has seen first hand how music can affect positive change in people with chronic pain or dementia. As a music therapist at the Victoria Conservatory of Music, Jean works off site, visiting people at various facilities. She arranges to have live music brought in, mostly for group settings. “We get to see the impact our work makes on a daily basis, it brings a quality of life to people,” Jean says. And now Jean can take music therapy to a more personal level, and with increased regularity, thanks to the iPod Pharmacy program, an initiative of the province’s Music Heals charity. The iPod Pharmacy is a ready-to-go package containing an iPod (or MP3 player), a set of headphones and iTunes gift cards for

downloading music. “Ideally the patient can identify some music they’d like to download, if not we’ll help them choose,” Jean says. Functioning iPods or MP3 players are cleaned, any previous music is erased, and they’re matched with a new set of headphones donated by Skullcandy. The iTunes gift cards are donated by a local Scotiabank branch. “This allows music therapists in B.C. to help more patients,” says iPod Pharmacy creator Chris Brandt, executive director of Music Heals. “Even if they’re just staying overnight in the hospital, they’re stressed and can’t sleep, or something else, people can be lifted by music in so many ways.” The program is off and running in Vancouver and looking to expand to Calgary, Regina and Winnipeg. “Scotiabank comes on as a sponsor branch by branch, it’s not a national thing, so this is all

about local investment at every level,” Brandt says. “We wanted to get people involved with Music Heals and instead of asking people for money, we wanted to see what else we could do.” The distribution model for iPod Pharmacy gives the power to music therapists – of which there are 22 on the Island – to apply for and allocate the iPod Pharmacy packages in their community. “Music therapists are the experts so we put it in their hands,” he says. “This really relies on iPod donations and that’s where we’re trying to raise the most awareness right now,” Jean says. “So if you or someone you know is upgrading your iPod then TRAVIS PATERSON PHOTO please consider donating Oona Jean connects iPods with music therapy the old one.

acific Opera Victoria’s new season opens with its 100th production, Falstaff, at the Royal Theatre on Oct. 17. The Italian comedy by Giuseppe Verdi is based on the Shakespeare-invented character, Sir John Falstaff, a large, harddrinking, womanizing scoundrel. This was Verdi’s last opera and was composed when he was almost 80. POV founding director Timothy Vernon said opening the new season with Falstaff is a fitting tribute to one of the most influential opera composers of the 19th century, who was born Oct. 10, 1813. “It is our 100th production and this is Verdi’s bicentennial,” Vernon said, during a break from rehearsals. “It’s a festive way to celebrate with Falstaff opening the season.” This season’s programming is full of comedies. After Falstaff, Strauss’ Ariadne auf Naxos will take the stage in February and Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro opens in April. “No one dies on stage this season,” Vernon joked, explaining last year’s programming of tragedies MacBeth and Tosca

A FEATURE LOOK AT HOCKEY IN GREATER VICTORIA

Ready to launch Royals 17-year-olds put team success first in NHL draft year Travis Paterson News staff

It’s never early too early to talk about the playoffs. And it’s never, ever too early to talk about the NHL Entry Draft. Even before the 2013-14 Western Hockey League season started, going deep into the playoffs was already part of the daily conversation for Joe Hicketts and Jack Walker of the Victoria Royals. That’s because Hicketts, a Kamloops native, and Walker, from Minnesota, are two of the league’s prospects who will be scouted thoroughly this season ahead of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft next June. The Royals/Bruins franchise has never produced a first round NHL draft pick. Despite having superb skill and skating qualities, Walker (5-foot11, 165 lbs.) and Hicketts (5-foot-8, 180 lbs.) are on the small side in terms of pro size. They’re long shots to go in the first round. But they’re both on the radar, and a big season can change everything. “(Getting drafted) is the goal but team success brings individual success,” Hicketts said. “We’ve heard it all the way up coming into this league, but it’s true, the farther you go in the playoffs the higher your chances of getting drafted.” “The fact is some guys mature later than others,” said Royals general manager Cam Hope. “In a way, it takes a special and sort of a weird combination of player, an early bloomer, to get drafted into the NHL in his draft year.” If the Royals can improve this year over last, and general manager Cam Hope believes they will, then

Travis Paterson/News staff

Jack Walker and Joe Hicketts were just 16 when they began playing the point on the Royals’ power play. Their experience will be counted on as the Royals begin their rise in the WHL. Hicketts and Walker will be at the centre of it. The 17-year-olds are inextricably linked in the way in which their paths have crossed. As 16-year-old rookies last season they were paired together on the power play, with Walker dropping back from his regular role at forward to play the point with Hicketts, a regular defenceman. Hicketts was shortlisted by Central Scouting Services this year on the 2014 early watch list for WHL draft eligible

players. He’s represented Canada at the Youth Olympics and the World IIHF Under-17, and in July he helped Canada win the the Ivan Hlinka Memorial U18 world championship. Walker, meanwhile, has been in the Team U.S.A. pipeline for years. Please see: Drafted players Page A17

Don Descoteau News staff

When it comes to big games, Nic Renyard has had a close-up view on numerous occasions. The 18-year-old goaltender, acquired in June by the B.C. Hockey League’s Victoria Grizzlies, backed up Victoria product Chad Katunar last season with the Penticton Vees en route to the BCHL final. Renyard was also on the scene as an affiliate player the year before as the Vees won the national RBC Cup. The Grizzlies hope the Victoriaborn Renyard can turn that biggame exposure into wins as they try to improve on a successful 2012-13 season that saw them upset in the second round of the playoffs by the Alberni Valley Bulldogs. “Experience is on Renyard’s side (from) Penticton,” says Grizzlies assistant coach Craig Didmon, who coached the six-footer in midget with the South Island Thunderbirds. “Plus (being back home), he’s in an environment where he’s comfortable.” Renyard, who posted a 2.23 goals against average with one shutout in 20 games with the Vees last year, believes his time in Penticton taught him about what it

ity to the team. Didmon likes the team’s depth in goal, calling backup Alec Dillon, 17, a “skilled, athletic goalie.” The six-foot-five West Shore Wolves junior B alumnus, also a local product and former midget teammate of Renyard, plans to battle his friend for playing time this season. Despite limited exposure in the BCHL, Dillon recently commit-

ted to play for the NCAA’s Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) Engineers in 2015-16. “Going in, I know Nic’s the older one and clearly the starter,” says Dillon, who served as backup with the Grizz for three games last year. “There’s no taking games off. You have to make the most of your opportunities at this level or you get dropped down.”

Despite the on-ice competition, the goalies appreciate each other. “He’s a bit of a different kind of character,” Renyard says of Dillon, the more outgoing, vocal member of the goalie tandem. “But we can build off each other and we push each other in practice. It’s a good learning partnership.” Overall, the Grizzlies have nine returnees this season, including the electrifying Fitzgerald triplets, Myles, Leo and Gerry, who are three of five 20-year-olds on the roster. The high-energy linemates, who finished 1-2-3 in team scoring last season, will once again be key to the club’s offence and power play. “They don’t take losing lightly,” Didmon says of the trio. “Being 20 year olds, they want to finish this off with a championship.” The Grizzlies opened their season in Penticton on Sept. 6 and play their home opener Sept. 27 at Bear Mountain Arena. ddescoteau@vicnews.com

National development Micah Hart on the national team radar Steven Heywood News staff

Saanichton’s Micah Hart has jumped at every opportunity thrown her way to improve her hockey skills and in the process has caught the attention of Hockey Canada. Hart was selected most recently to the Under 18 junior national hockey team and played in a three-game series against the United States in Lake Placid, New York. She was one of 22 players chosen to suit up for Canada after two conditioning and training camps run by Hockey Canada. “I still enjoy it,” Hart says, “and that’s why I love to play hockey. I hope, someday, to represent Canada on the ice.” The 16-year-old defenceman honed her skills internationally this summer. She was invited in August to London,

England for an ICAAF development camp and worked with players, coaches and team officials from 18 countries around the world as other nations sought to improve their women’s hockey programs. Hart has been at it for 12 years since she started in the Peninsula Minor Hockey program. She is currently enrolled in the Okanagan Hockey Academy in Penticton. The team at OHA plays in an east coast hockey league, where they finished in the middle of the pack in their first season in the league. Hart says she will return to Penticton for her Grade 12 year this fall and continue to develop her hockey skills. To get there, Hart knows it’s going to be hard work. A typical week during her summer break included five dryland workouts and another two to three sessions on the ice. Training ramped up from there now that she’s back at the academy. “It’s tough, but it’s worth it in the end.” editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE TEAMS Have a great season!

Draft picks leave a team legacy Continued from Page A15

Walker came close to making the Ivan Hlinka tournament, as he was on U.S.A’s 40-man roster and played in its intrasquad game. But Walker ultimately had to resign himself to watching Canada defeat his American brethren in the gold medal final on television. “It was tough but I turned my attention to the year ahead and what we’re going to be doing here in Victoria, and having a good season,” Walker said. Walker was trying out as a

defenceman for his national team, the position he was initially pegged for when he came to the Royals in 2012. But Walker was converted to forward after a slow start. He scored in his first game as a forward and has been a versatile part of the Royals ever since, quarterbacking the power play. Thanks to his experience with the American national program he will be scouted thoroughly this year. Same goes for Hicketts, who was on Canada’s top defensive pairing at the Ivan Hlinka tourney with Aaron Ekblad of the OHL, a

top prospect heading into the 2014 draft. They may not get selected in the first round next June, a feather still missing from the franchise’s cap, but Hope believes everything is in place for it to happen soon. “If you look around the Western League rinks of the teams that have been around a long time, it is a big deal,” Hope said. “(Having) first or second round draft picks who go on to play in the NHL leaves a legacy behind, something for the players here to shoot for.” sports@vicnews.com

Czech-ing in How the KHL lured Ryan O’Byrne to Prague Travis Paterson News staff

It was the middle of summer and Ryan O’Byrne stood among a throng of parents and kids at Kirby’s Source For Sports. The TV ran a recap of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, focusing on the near comeback of O’Byrne’s Toronto Maple Leafs over the Boston Bruins. On came Game 4 of the Leafs versus the Bruins. Months had past, but O’Byrne couldn’t look away. “Oh here it is,” he said. It was overtime and Bruins’ forward David Krejci skated towards the Toronto goal with a teammate, two-on-one, against O’Byrne. Krejci shot and scored and the Bruins won the game. O’Byrne didn’t really have a chance. “It sticks with you for a little while,” O’Byrne said. “To see (the Bruins) go all the way to the finals was difficult. It solidified that we could have gone all the way to the finals, but that’s why you play hockey, to be in the playoffs and enjoy that series. Toronto hadn’t been in the playoffs for nine years. It was a lot of excitement, you could feel the buzz in the city.” O’Byrne’s stop at Kirby’s was to pass on a $40,000 cheque to KidSport Victoria, raised at the second annual Ryan O’Byrne Charity Classic, a week-long hockey camp held in early August at the Ian Stewart Complex. In just two years the camp has become a major date on the calendar, bringing together local NHLers Jamie and Jordie Benn (Dallas Stars), Tyson Barrie (Colorado Avalanche) Matt Irwin (San Jose Sharks), and more. For O’Byrne, 29, it was his first summer as an unrestricted free agent. But the phone never rang from the Leafs, or any other NHL team. O’Byrne kept cool, but he wasn’t going to wait. Without an NHL camp invite, O’Byrne signed with Lev Praha in early September. The team came to him, and now he’s playing in the Russian-based Kontinental Hockey League. “Right now I’m enjoy playing in the KHL. I’m in the the top six with power play and penalty kill time, about 20 minutes a night,” O’Byrne told the News. “It’s a good group of guys and I really like it.” It could be worse. O’Byrne has a twoyear deal with a temporary out clause that allows him to sign with an NHL team next summer. He’s based in historic Prague of the Czech Republic. And he doesn’t have to fight for ice time, which he had to do for all 308 NHL games with the Montreal Canadiens, Colorado Avalanche and Leafs.

Ryan O’Byrne

Lev Praha

Instead of focusing on getting into the lineup, O’Byrne is focused on adjusting to each arena, as the KHL rinks are not standardized, with some using IIHF size ice and some closer to the NHL. “The big ice is definitely an adjustment with a lot more skating and puck control, so you’ve got play your angles a lot better,” he said. “And there isn’t as much hitting, just because it’s difficult to catch guys. “In Minsk, Belarus, it’s big, and in Moscow it’s a little smaller, so it changes team to team. You go out in the pre-game skate and (try to) get used to it.” If anything, O’Byrne’s chances of returning to the NHL can improve as much as they can shrink. Despite his age, he has NHL experience and is adding to his skill set. He’s already known to stand up for his teammates and work as a shutdown defenceman. And he’s got experience playing in hockey fishbowls such as Toronto and Montreal. If he can improve just a little on his offence, skating and/or defensive angles, he’ll make a nice veteran addition to an NHL club next year. Especially when the salary cap is lifted for the 2014-15 NHL season, as the tight 2013-14 salary cap may have squeezed O’Byrne out, as he made $1.5 million. If not, he’s got a good thing going, playing pro hockey in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. “I’m not worried about (returning) to the NHL right now.” sports@vicnews.com

Bulldogs win VIU tourney Evidence is mounting that the Belmont Bulldogs senior boys volleyball team is as good as people in town are saying it is. The Bulldogs took first place in the Vancouver Island University Volleyball Tournament on the weekend while taking out several of the Island’s top teams along the way. The team won six out of six matches in pool play, and all four playoff games, and only dropped two sets in the entire tournament. “It made me so happy to watch them play like an elite team and knock out Oak Bay and then come back in three in the final,” coach Kris Johnson said. “They never gave up and always played like gentleman

which truly is what I'm proud of most.” The Bulldogs beat Highlands 2-1 in first round of the playoffs and Ucluelet 2-0 in the quarterfinal. Then came an impressive 2-0 win over the always strong Oak Bay Barbers in the semifinal, setting up the team’s final against Nanaimo District secondary. The team needed the tiebreaker to defeat Nanaimo. Nanaimo and Highlands are the fifth and sixth ranked AA teams in the province, respectively. Belmont was not included in the Oct. 2 release of the provincial senior boys AAA rankings, but will likely enter the top10 next week. It’s all part of a strong start by the Bulldogs, which finished sec-

Rams stay undefeated with win over Van College The Mount Douglas Rams senior boys are still undefeated at 3-0 in B.C. High School Football play with a 42-21 win over the Vancouver College Fighting Irish on Saturday. It was a rematch of the Rams’ 2012 provincial championship win over the Fighting Irish (1-2). Rams star Marcus Davis was instrumental in all areas of the field with seven solo tackles, 12 carries for 169 yards rushed, one touchdown and three receptions for 62 yards. “The Varsity offensive line was stellar once again, as evidenced by our 417 yards rushing by eight different ball carriers for the Rams,” coach Mark Townsend said. Running back Julian Luis rushed for four touchdowns. Quarterback Ashton MacKinnon threw a 20-yard TD pass to Seye Farinu. Kicker Callum Duke converted all six touchdowns. The No. 1 AAA seed Rams play an interesting exhibition game on Saturday, as the club travels to South Delta to play the No. 1-ranked AA team.

Food bank musters up for battle Dan Palmer News staff

The fifth annual Great Canadian Food Fight is almost here, and the Mustard Seed needs your help to fill its storehouses for the demanding winter season. From Oct. 17-19, the Mustard Seed food bank will have donation stations set up across Greater Victoria for the food fight. “This has been one of the toughest years I’ve experienced in my 30-year career,” said food bank director Brent Palmer, who oversees food distribution to 7,000 people every month. A successful food drive by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints last week gave the Mustard Seed some reprieve for September, but summer donations were down for a second consecutive year, Palmer said. Cash is actually preferable

Food coupon program relaunches With the number of people using food banks on the rise in the province and donations to B.C. Sharing down, the Mustard Seed is helping refocus the spotlight on the grocery store charity program. B.C. Sharing coupons, which allow food banks to buy fresh produce for distribution, are available for purchase at participating grocery outlets around the Capital Region. Customers can add $2 onto their grocery bill at the till.

to food donations, as organizers make the dollars stretch further by buying in bulk, so Palmer hopes newly designed Food Bank B.C.

coupons at local grocery stores will help bring in more cash donations as well. “The money shoppers donate is ‘banked’ at the stores to allow food banks to purchase fresh food for our hampers,” he said. Palmer anticipates raising 200,000 pounds of food for this year’s food fight to knock off last year’s winner, the Regina Food Bank. Online donations are also accepted and for every $2.50, one pound of food will be added to the Mustard Seed’s total. As always, Palmer extended his thanks to the community for their continued support of the Capital Region’s most vulnerable residents. “With the support of compassionate, generous people, the Mustard Seed can meet this goal,” he said.

Wednesday,October October9, 9,2013 2013--VICTORIA VICTORIA NEWS NEWS Wednesday,

Impressive speaker list slated for Victoria’s TEDx talks in Nov. Event features 14 speakers with ‘ideas worth spreading’ Speakers representing a broad spectrum of ideas, interests and experiences will speak their piece at TEDxVictoria 2013: Emergence next month at the McPherson Playhouse. From Olympic rower Adam Kreek, whose boat capsized in the Atlantic during an attempted ocean crossing, to

former up-and-coming tennis star Rebecca Marino, who put her career on hold to deal with debilitating depression and raise awareness of mental health issues, the roster includes 14 people with “ideas worth spreading,” as per the TED motto. Each speaker has roughly 18 minutes to get their point across. No stranger to making a point themselves, improv expert Dave Morriss and spoken word poet Missie Peters will host the Nov. 16 event.

And Kathryn Calder of indie rockers The New Pornographers will provide musical interludes. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tickets are $75, available online – along with a speaker list and other information – at tedxvictoria. com or at the McPherson box office, 3 Centennial Sq. ddescoteau@vicnews.com

Lively step Eighty-four-year-old Adriana Scheffer takes part in a line dancing class at the Esquimalt Legion. Classes are held Monday and Wednesday for beginner classes and Tuesday for an intermediate class. The drop in classes are $3 each (after joining the senior group for $20 a year).
