Volunteers first on the water to find those in danger Oak Bay’s ‘navy’ always at the ready Brittany Lee News staff
J
urgen Pokrandt was on duty at the Oak Bay Marina last Friday night when what seemed like a routine call turned into an 11-hour search for a missing Saanich man. Pokrandt and crew members, Jerry Hunter, Chris Life and Nathan Leung had just begun their week-long shift as night crew for the Oak Bay Sea Rescue (OBSR) Society, known as Unit 33 of the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue. Around 10:50 p.m., Pokrandt, duty coxswain, received a call to investigate the waters off Oak Bay after a concerned citizen had called police and reported hearing cries for help. Two young Saanich men had set sail from Telegraph Bay Cove earlier that evening with the intention of camping overnight on Discovery Island. However, their canoe capsized while travelling through Baynes Channel near Ten Mile Point. According to Pokrandt, the waters were calm Friday night, but he noted that Baynes Channel can get very rough with conflicting currents. “The Oak Bay area has a lot of rocks and islets – it’s a very dangerous area for boating unless you know your way around,” says Pokrandt, a society member for 13 years. Pokrandt and crew met Saanich police on the shore near Flower Island and were told to search the waters around Cadboro Bay, from Ten Mile Point to Willows Beach. The Oak Bay crew was first out on the water, Pokrandt says. They combed the waters until coming across one of the missing canoeists around 12:30 a.m. Saturday. “As we were motoring out there, we were yelling, stopping the engines, and listening,” Pokrandt recalls. “And at some point, we heard faint cries for help. We zeroed in on it and we finally heard the direction and we yelled and we got a response.” A 20-year-old Saanich man was found clinging onto a sign at the top of a concrete marker known as Tod Rock, located near Mary Tod Island. He was wet and a bit incoherent, according to Pokrandt. “He was standing there hypothermic.” However, upon finding the young man, the crew learned another was still missing. “At that point, a major mayday was issued,” Pokrandt says. After the first young man was located Leung, a crew member for 15 months, discovered the canoeists were acquaintances. Leung attended Lambrick Park Secondary with both boys, he says, and played

calls in a day. Oak Bay’s search and rescue team, often dubbed Oak Bay’s navy, currently has about 40 active members, making up eight crews (four day and four night) which rotate in week-long shifts each month. The group is volunteer-based and relies largely on public funding. Operating costs range from $80,000 to $100,000 every year, depending on whether new equipment is needed, according to Terry Calveley, president of the OBSR Society. “We are extremely grateful of the support the community gives us,” she says. “It’s what helps us stay afloat.” All members of the society are crew members, with the exception of board members, Calveley said, noting they’re actively seeking new crew and board volunteers. Most members join the team because of a love for being on the water, Pokrandt says. “We like what we do because we like being on the water – maybe it’s a boy-scout complex – I don’t know what makes us do it,” he says.

Songhees, Esquimalt assert Douglas treaty guaranteed land Edward Hill News staff
Cadboro Bay, a quaint seaside village known for its treed neighbourhoods and giant sea monsters at Gyro Park, has become the centre of a 160 year old dispute between area First Nations and senior governments. Esquimalt and Songhees First Nations have now filed two separate civil lawsuits against B.C. and Canada, both which seek compensation for the loss of aboriginal village land at Cadboro Bay, which the bands argue is protected forever under one of six Douglas treaties. The Esquimalt Nation statement of claim, filed in April, says that in 1850, Fort Victoria governor James Douglas entered into treaties with existing tribal groups, which effectively ceded much of Greater Victoria to the British Crown, “except for village sites and enclosed fields.” “We know there was a village there (at Cadboro Bay),” said Steven Kelliher, lawyer for the Esquimalt Nation. “It will be for the experts to assess the parameters of that village.” Indeed, the civil trial may come down to a battle of expert historians and archeologists interpreting the fine details of colonial records, and divining the intentions of colonial authorities and aboriginal leaders. Kelliher said his researchers are combing through Hudson’s Bay Company and provincial archives for colonial maps, documents, drawings and personal letters to reconstruct the timeline and details of the Cadboro

Lawyer scores windfall for nurses Landmark settlement redefines gender discrimination in battle between ‘David and Goliath’ Roszan Holmen News staff
O
n his big day to shine last week, Victoria lawyer Laurence Armstrong was stuck in hospital, undergoing surgery. For someone not shy of the media glare, the timing was terrible. “It’s so unfair,” said Armstrong, laughing. On July 3, the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal issued an order awarding Armstrong’s clients – more than 400 Canada Pension Plan nurses – $160 million and counting. It compensates them for nearly 35 years of discrimination. Armstrong describes it as a simple tale of David

and Goliath – with one twist: David is a woman. On the surface, the win is small in scope compared to previous pay-equity cases, involving thousands of publicsector employees and payouts worth billions of dollars. But the case against the federal government is precedent-setting in that it effectively broadened the way the tribunal defines gender discrimination. As Armstrong went under the knife, lead complainant and nurse Ruth Walden spoke to the press in Ottawa, where she lives. “It has taken years of effort by the nurses to get to this day,” she wrote in an email to the News. “While the agreement reached with our employer doesn’t compensate us for all our losses, I’m very happy that it will compensate all victims of the discriminatory practice.” The payout could be life changing for CPP nurses employed across the country, including for many of the roughly 65 employed in the Victoria office. The CPP disability benefits program launched in 1966. At first, the program director only hired doctors to assess applicant files, but soon began hiring registered nurses as ‘medical adjudicators’ to keep up with the mounting workload. In the years that followed, the doctors sometimes played a supervisory role, but typically, their work differed little from the program’s nurses. Each reviewed applications and had authority to reject or approve claims. Their job classification in the public service classification system, however, differed greatly. The doctors were classified as health professionals; the nurses were classified as program administrators – a designation that did not recognize the nurses’ professional expertise. The consequences of this distinction were far-reaching for the nurses, whose careers were mostly stuck at entry level. They received little funding to update their medical knowledge in a field that demands keeping up to speed on the latest research and practices. As a result, their salary, pension, advancement and other benefits suffered. By the time Ruth Walden joined their ranks in 1993, CPP nurses had been working to be reclassified as medical professionals for several years. “I fully believed that there was just some sort of misunderstanding,” she said. “Our employer depends on us every day to use our knowledge, skills and experience to make really tough decisions that affect people’s lives.” In 2001, the nurses started to organize themselves to form a united front. Despite being scattered in regional offices across the country, they connected through word of mouth, finding employees willing to speak out in each office. “Gradually we built a nationwide network,” said Walden. “We were pretty much on call 24-7.” Through late-night and early-morning emails, they shared information, co-ordinated their approach and supported each other – all without ever meeting in person. In 2004, Walden filed her complaint, without the backing of her union, the Public Service Alliance of Canada. Undeterred, she and her team hired their own lawyer, at their own expense. Walden heard of Armstrong through a gender-discrimination complaint he launched on his own behalf, seeking free prostate cancer screening tests for men. He later lost that case. But in representing the nurses,

Armstrong took a different tack than most of the big genderdiscrimination cases won before. Instead of arguing equal pay for work of equal value, he argued different sections of the Canadian Human Rights Act. Section 7 and 10 forbid employers from treating different groups of employees differently on the basis of discrimination. His 2007 victory in the tribunal was precedent-setting. “It really is another way at looking at human rights,” said Philippe Dufresne, director and senior counsel of the Canadian Human Rights Commission’s Litigation Services Division. “It goes beyond pay equity because it talks about classification. It talks about opportunities for career advancement. It talks about training and professional recognition.” But that landmark ruling was far from the end of the story. Since 2007, Walden and her team have fought to uphold the original Roszan Holmen/News staff decision through three Lawyer Laurence Armstrong tribunal hearings, two specializes in civil litigation and judicial reviews in federal tax disputes, but has gained court and one appeal. notoriety with two high-profile “It’s been quite a struggle gender discrimination cases. every step of the way,” she said. “My daughter, she knows everything about this case,” said Adele McLean, one of the CPP nurses representing the Victoria office. “She’s grown up, literally, hearing about this.” Her co-representative in Victoria, grey-haired Chuck Morris, joked he had brown hair when he signed up for the job. Morris, the token male in this fight for women’s rights, helped to keep discussions light by sending jokes over email. At critical junctions in the case, Morris would consult his “voodoo chicken.” The silly digital persona served as a barometer of who’s happy or not happy, explained Morris, a former military nurse who took a $21,000 cut in pay when he was hired on by the CPP disability benefits program. The Victoria office is the second-largest in the country. The group made a point of celebrating the small victories along the way, McLean said. When they were finally reclassified as health professionals in November 2010, they sculpted pigs of papier-mâché, attached pipe-stem cleaner wings, and decorated the office. They called it the “Pigs have Flown” party. The tribunal’s July 3 order prescribes $16,500 in payment for every year worked between 1999 and 2011, as well as smaller lump sums for nurses who worked between 1978 and 1999. Many nurses can expect more than $200,000 from the settlement. Estimates peg the value of the total compensation at more than $160 million, but the final tally could prove higher, in part because all CPP nurses are eligible for compensation, even those who didn’t register as official complainants. That means hundreds more nurses may step forward to claim their due. This big payout was an outcome the federal government has fought hard to avoid – in part because of its potential to rally other groups of employees. It could trigger a similar change in other departments, causing significant increase in the Public Service payroll, argued a representative of the Treasury Board during the original 2007 hearing.

Unwanted guest spurs questions left up in the air Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
Stinky tourists aren’t unheard of in Victoria but the latest visitor cast a wide hazy net across the lower Island. “We’ve had forest fire smoke in the air and we suspect, although we need to do lots of analysis, that this came from Siberia and eastern Asia. I think a lot of that has cleared out,” said Steve Sakiyama, air science specialist with the Ministry of Environment.

Ramifications of the Walden decision could also extend to the private sector. That’s because it proved individuals such as Walden, rather than powerful unions, can file complaints involving systemic issues that extend beyond the individual. “This is one of the reasons we said this could be precedent setting,” said Dufresne. Walden’s case is likely the largest gender discrimination case won without union representation. “They really did this themselves,” said Gary Corbett, president of the Professional Institute of the Public Service Of Canada. “They had to become their own union, to a certain extent,” he explained, shortly after winning representation over the nurses in 2011. “It’s not easy in this day and age to organize everybody to pull in the same direction. I can tell you that as a union boss … I run an organization of 60,000 people and I would love to see that level
of solidarity.” Whether Walden’s case will open the floodgates to new gender discrimination complaints is yet to be seen, however. In 2009, the federal government changed the rules of complaint resolution through the Public Sector Equitable Compensation Act. With a stated goal of speeding up the process, the Act requires that complaints about compensation be directed to the Public Service Labour Relations Board. The change leaves human rights watchdogs and academics skeptical. “They’re not a human rights tribunal,” said Armstrong. As he recovered in hospital, Armstrong said he got “rock star” treatment from the nurses, who caught wind of his win for their CPP nursing colleagues. “I’ve never had so much fun,” he said of the case. “I don’t think I’ve ever had such worthy clients. It’s been an honour to represent them.” rholmen@vicnews.com

Treaties need to have day in court T
he Songhees Nation’s elected leader, Chief Robert Sam, passed away earlier this week as a man who fought tirelessly for his community in Victoria and for aboriginal people across the province. Sam worked hard to give aboriginal youth the opportunity for a good education and good jobs, understanding both are necessary to break the systemic cycle of poverty of First Nations people. But as forward thinking as Sam was, he still was fighting injustices of the long past. In tandem with Esquimalt First Nation, Sam played a crucial role in establishing a $31 million settlement in 2006 from the provincial and federal governments, for land taken away 160 years ago, where the Legislature building now sits. The settlement, while giving the bands much needed capital, it did little to answer the nagging question of the validity, scope and meaning of the Douglas treaties. In 1850, Fort Victoria colonial governor James Douglas made a series of land purchases from a number of tribes, for a pittance, giving the British Crown ownership of almost all land in Victoria and Saanich, except aboriginal “village sites and enclosed fields for our own use ... and those who follow after us,” according to treaty text. Aboriginal people also had the right to continue to fish and hunt on unoccupied land. First Nations people in Victoria, and probably more than a few historians as well, argue the colonial administration broke the terms of these Douglas treaties fairly quickly – aboriginal village surveys weren’t done and land that was supposed to be set aside was absorbed by the colony. Next May, the Songhees and Esquimalt bands are set to refight this question in court, regarding a village site in Cadboro Bay. Despite an era of reconciliation and new relationships with aboriginal people, the senior governments haven’t pulled their punches in response. The federal government questions if the Songhees are the rightful descendants of the Chekonein people who lived in Cadboro Bay (the B.C. Ministry of Aboriginal Relations admits they are on its website). Both governments assert there is a statute of limitations on the agreements and that “village sites” really only meant a village site – the Songhees Indian Reserve. Fighting a 160-year-old grievance in court may seem absurd and may come down to duelling experts interpreting an imperfect historical record. At the same time, it would be better if this case isn’t settled out of court. The validity of the Douglas treaties should have a full public airing. What do you think?

To make matters worse, laboratory for this purpose it will cost taxpayers $50 million since 1968. By manipulating and to shut the ELA down. studying conditions in 58 small In an open letter to lakes and their watersheds, government, senior scientists scientists there have made many point out that “research discoveries about the effects of conducted at the ELA has been human and natural activity on instrumental in the development freshwater ecosystems and fish. of environmental policy and Over the past 45 years they’ve legislation both nationally and taught us about the impacts of internationally.” acid rain, mercury pollution, They also note that “ELA nanoparticles, nitrogen overload, scientists have been recipients climate change, fish farming, and of numerous prestigious national
and international awards, and the scientific output from ELA has been impressive – more than 1,000 scientific articles, graduate theses and books.” We often hear how Canada “manages” its natural resources, but how can we do that without sound knowledge about the intricacies of the water cycle? The timing is also odd. The ELA is being shut down as the government eviscerates laws and regulations designed to protect freshwater and marine habitat and resources with its omnibus budget bill. Included in the bill are changes or cuts to the Fisheries Act, Navigable Waters Protection Act, Species at Risk Act, and Canadian Environmental Protection Act, and a complete gutting and rewriting of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. Changes to the Fisheries Act are especially troubling. Habitat protection has been removed, and the focus has shifted to economically viable and aboriginal fisheries only. That has some former fisheries ministers worried.
In a letter to the prime minister, Conservatives Tom Siddon and John Fraser and Liberals Herb Dhaliwal and David Anderson wrote, “Canadians are entitled to know whether these changes were written, or insisted upon, by the minister of fisheries or by interest groups outside the government. If the latter is true, exactly who are they?” It’s a valid concern. Postmedia obtained government documents showing that Enbridge, the company behind the dual Northern Gateway pipeline proposal, lobbied the government heavily before the changes were brought in. Documents also indicate that pressure from Enbridge was partly responsible for the government’s decision to pull out of a joint marine-planning process on the Pacific North Coast between industry, First Nations, citizens’ groups, and conservation organizations. One can’t help but notice that many recent cuts and changes are aimed at programs, laws, or entities that might slow the push for rapid tar sands expansion and
pipelines to the west and south, along with the massive selloff of our resources and resource industry to Chinese state-owned companies, among others. Any research or findings that don’t fit with the government’s fossil fuelbased economic plans appear to be under attack. The National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy, for example, warned that failing to address climate change would have both economic and environmental consequences. The government also axed that arm’s-length agency, under the guise of saving $5.5 million a year. Development is important, but when it’s focused on a single polluting industry, at the expense of other economic priorities and the environment, it doesn’t make sense. When industry and government go to such extreme lengths to promote a short-sighted and narrow interest, it’s an affront to the democratic traditions that Canadians of all political stripes have built over the years. www.davidsuzuki.org.
Readers respond: Gays in military, light rail, doctor shortage Reader proud about openly gay military What a great Pride Week it was in Victoria. Every year I find something more to be proud of. My very good friend, Kent, an openly gay man who has served with the Canadian Armed Forces for more than 25 years, left in late June (missing Pride) to serve in Kabul, Afghanistan for one year. Not that many years ago, a gay man would not be openly serving in the forces. Now they join arms with all shapes and shades of Canadians, helping countries find peace within and with their neighbours.
I know that many in the community, including myself, hold such pride for you and other GLBTs (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual) serving us in the Canadian Armed Forces. Come back safe... Everyone. Colin Craig Saanich
Start paying now for light-rail system Re: Light-rail funding choice awaits governance deal (News, July 4) I don’t very often find myself taking opposite positions from my mayor, Frank Leonard, but on
this issue I am. He is totally wrong about only taxing future users of the proposed light-rail transit system. This kind of thinking is one of the reasons why we are in the situation we are in today. We have failing infrastructure everywhere and our empty bank account prevents us from maintaining and/or overhauling it as needed, rather than when we have the cash. This is an investment in our community and we should start to save for it today. It will be expensive, for sure, and we will be in a better position going
forward if we have the largest down payment possible to get it going. Paul MacDonald Saanich
Nurse practitioners provide quality care Re: Calling all doctors (News, June 29) I read with interest your piece on the apparent shortage of physicians to provide primary health care in Greater Victoria. Indeed, we need more primary care providers, and physicians are not the only ones who can fill that role. Nurse practitioners (NPs) have proven over 40-plus
years that: 1) their patient outcomes are at least as good as that of physicians, 2) patients are better able to manage their chronic illness and 3) patients like care provided by NPs. The best primary health care is provided by teams
of equals, each contributing their special knowledge and skills to promote the health of all our patients. Rita Schreiber Nurse Practitioner Program co-ordinator, University of Victoria School of Nursing

If it seems like Simon Whitfield is having too much fun, he probably is. The 37-year-old was the centre of attention on Monday night as a small idea turned into a gathering of hundreds for an Olympic send-off for the veteran triathlete. Three Point Motors hosted the group ride, dinner and auction, which included three Victoria police motorcycle officers, who escorted the throng of spandexclad riders on an hour-long tour around Victoria and along the waterfront. “The (cops) were talking to me, the cyclists were talking to me, I just love being around this

Simon Whitfield's sendoff on July 9 raised thousands of dollars for KidSport Victoria. community of people,” Whitfield said. The original idea for the event was Whitfield’s, to use the excitement of the Olympics to throw an auction and raise money for KidSport. “(Whitfield) contacted us
about 10 days ago, saying ‘Hey why don’t I do something for KidSport?’ It was short notice, but look at the response,” said KidSport board member Steve Turner. “We had $2,000 in donations just from the group ride, the auction hadn’t even started.” In the KidSport world, $2,000 will help nearly seven kids register for a season of sport, as each grant is $300. The remainder of the donations were still trickling in on Wednesday morning, but were estimated to be at least $3,500. Speaking of the task at hand, Whitfield said he’s not too nervous on the eve of his third Olympic Games. “I have two kids, that’s what makes me nervous now.” If anything, the distraction is a blessing, said one of his coaches, former marathon Olympian Jon Brown. “The longer he’s distracted, the better I think it is. (Whitfield) just needs to continue doing what he’s doing and not think about what he has to do for as long as he can.” “The way I see it,” Whitfield said, “On Aug. 8 (the day after the race) I’ll be in a park playing with my kids, whether or not I have a shiny object around my neck.” Whitfield also tipped his hat towards his post-Olympic career, suggesting that he'll enter longer distance triathlons as early as this summer. sports@vicnews.com

Volunteers deliver on community tool shed Leadership Victoria crew leaves legacy at housing complex
JULY 31, 2012
News staff
For a tool shed built by a gang of white-collar workers, it looks unexpectedly sturdy and cleanly designed. Its walls are lined with all manner of tools – pliers, screwdrivers, grips, extension cords, levels, rakes, shovels and hoses, and even earthquake kits. It’s a handyman’s dream and a first shot at making a community tool shed within a Capital Region Housing Corporation townhouse complex. The community tool shed was conceived and built by a six-person team within a Leadership Victoria 2012 class, modelled on a similar tool sharing project out of Portland, Ore. In partnership with CRHC, the LifeCycles non-profit group was starting a community garden at the Cloverdale Avenue site, so a community tool shed seemed a perfect fit for 26 families in the complex and 26 seniors in an adjacent building. Over the course of the project from September to May, the Leadership Victoria team fundraised money, had the tools donated and even had time and expertise donated from a contractor and building designer. The six, who are mainly managers and professionals, also put in sweat and labour. “There were a lot of weird snags,” said Blair Spencer, a provincial probation officer who speaks for the team. “There is kind of an underground stream here. You dig holes and they fill with water. There was a lot of

ager with CRHC, said community tool sheds are something they’d like to see at other housing sites. “This is the first tool shed for our properties,” Jaarsma said. “We might try it again once we get a feel for it. It would be great to try out in a different location. “We need to have a site that is big enough that people will use it. It’s got to be something driven by tenants. It’s got to be something they want to do.” Other Leadership Victoria teams also completed community projects, including healthy cooking classes with youth connected to Big Brothers Big Sisters; a Stigma Stomp Day with the Bipolar Disorder Society of B.C. at Centennial Square on May 14; a program to teach youth the sources of food, how to purchase healthy food from grocery stores and how to prepare it, in collaboration with local chefs. editor@saanichnews.com

Dawn Kennedy, a resident and one of the four people who volunteered to oversee tool checkout, expects people will start doing more home and garden projects as warmer weather arrives. “It’s really good for the people around here who don’t have a lot of stuff.

Bargaining slows for airport workers
Mayors urge CRD to fund ‘Salish Express’
Victoria employee wages not up to par
Daniel Palmer
Erin Cardone News staff
Stalled bargaining talks at the Victoria International Airport may go to conciliation. “It’s unfortunate that it’s come to this. They still have a chance to settle a deal,” said Dave Clark, regional vice-president pacific for the Union of Canadian Transportation Employees. The union’s 30
or so Public Service Alliance of Canada members at the airport work in emergency response, customer care, runway maintenance, computer systems and other jobs. Vancouver Airport Authority CEO Geoff Dickson hopes the federal conciliation officer can move talks ahead. “We’re hopeful it will speed up negotiations and we can reach an agreement,” Dickson said. Among the union’s top issues is wage parity with workers at the Vancouver International Airport. Clark said vehicle operators in Victoria make $6,000 a year
less than their Vancouver counterparts. For IT workers, it’s $15,000 a year less. “Even though the cost of living are quite similar, there’s a big difference in pay,” he said. Federal Labour Minister Lisa Raitt has 90 days to appoint a conciliator. Should mediation fail, both groups must take a 90 day cooling-off period before the employer, VAA, can lock employees out, or employees can announce removal of services. Clark said the union plans to hold a strike vote in the future. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Eight mayors are appealing to the Capital Regional District to provide $70,000 to complete an implementation plan for a commuter train between Victoria-Langford and Esquimalt-Cowichan. The mayors of Esquimalt, Langford, View Royal, Colwood, Metchosin, Sooke, Sidney and Highlands submitted a joint letter to
the CRD on Wednesday, which states the Salish Express could be operational as early as September 2013. “It is a time sensitive plan that will detail the operating and capital costs for a two-year pilot service, (a) Monday to Friday commuter train,” the letter states.

KET HOT TIC ria The Victo Nightlife Awards
The Victoria Nightlife Awards acknowledge the accomplishments of companies, individuals and musicians that help to create Victoria’s thriving nightlife industry. Collectively, Victoria’s diverse set of hosts help to keep our downtown core alive and full of energy. The event happens Sunday, July 15 at 8 p.m. at Club 9one9.
Streets will fill with flash ceilidhs during CeltFest Sounds of pipes and stomp of feet will fill Victoria with Celtic feel Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
Don’t be surprised to suddenly see flash ceilidhs on the streets next week in Oak Bay. A bit of the Celt will show up in surprise performances, though they’ll likely show up around noon and before dinnertime. “We did this in Nanaimo with some success last year,” said Carolyn Phillips Cusson, producer of CeltFest. Now in its 12th year, CeltFest comes to Victoria for the first time July 14 to 20. It will bring performing artists from around the world in a series of Celtic concerts, workshops and ceilidhs or Celtic jam sessions at the Canadian College of Performing Arts, 1701 Elgin Rd. in Oak Bay. “They’re going to be roving type ceilidhs,” Cusson said, unwavering from the secrecy of what or who might do flash mob-style performances and where. “The whole idea of having the ceilidhs in the community is to get people interacting.” The CeltFest concert series kicks off July 16, with Lori and Innes Watson: Scots Kith & Kin.

Killarney, Ireland’s Niamh Ní Charra and her trio perform at the Sunset and Stars gala finale, Thursday, July 19. July 17, Ottawa fiddler/step dancer Stephanie Cadman, takes the stage with former World Champion Irish dancer, Owen Barrington. The festival’s Wacky Jig and Hornpipe Contest Family Night is July 18. Join students and faculty from CeltFest’s Sum-
mer School in a good-natured contest open to individuals. The only criteria are to play, sing, or dance to a jig and/or hornpipe. Entries should be submitted at the CeltFest office on site at the Canadian College of Performing Arts.
In a gala finish, Celtic cultures merge in the festival’s finale, the Sunset and Stars gala, Thursday, July 19, with champion fiddlers, dancers, pipers, and drummers, including Juno Award nominee Eileen McGann and master pipers Rene Cusson and Jamie Troy as well as headliner The Niamh Ní Charra Trio from Ireland. “I was born in Victoria, the bulk of my piping over the years has been in Victoria,” said champion piper and co-producer Rene Cusson. “I’ve had a strong association. I was part of the original City of Victoria Pipe Band … It was very innovative. It was one of the world’s top pipe bands. “Some of those fellows including Jamie Troy Jr. and Colin Magee are still on the (Greater) Victoria Police Pipe Band. It’s fun to get together with them and we’ll put on a good show together,” he added. “You sort of hit the ground running at festivals … you get this fusion and I think that’s one of the things that makes a festival a unique musical event. They haven’t worked the music to death.” All concerts begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Canadian College of Performing Arts auditorium and the audience is invited to remain after each concert to participate in the ceilidh. Ticket prices range from $10 to $34. Visit CeltFest.ca for full schedule and ticket prices. cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

ROAD TO LONDON A celebrat ion of ou r Olympic at h let es
Edward Hill/News staff
Blake Worsley has high hopes for his first-ever Olympics, which begin in London, England on July 27.
Victoria swimmer keeps his eye on the prize Edward Hill New staff
B
lake Worsley is no stranger to the intense pressure of international competition as a freestyle swimmer for Canada. But facing his first Olympics in less than a month, the 24-year-old tries to shake off nerves. Competing in the Games is a goal he dreamt about as a kid, and these days, he’s never felt fitter or faster. It helps that the handful of Canadian national swimmers based out of Victoria had their main training camp at an aquatics centre in Maui, Hawaii, under the tropical sun in an outdoor 50-metre pool. As a Canadian national team member since 2009 and an outstanding U.S. collegiate swimmer before that, Worsley lives an unending schedule of competition and training. Prepping for the Olympics is the same, but different, he says – there is
an acute awareness the pool in London is for the best of the best. “It’s the same principle. You train for a month and taper down for the last month going into a meet,” Worsley says on the phone from Hawaii. “But with the Olympics everything gets harder. They expect you to do well, to do more, to get more out of you for the Olympics.” Worsley’s training regime involves three to five hours in the pool each day, plus weight training and running. At his peak he’ll consume 8,000 calories per day to keep the engine revving. At 6’6 and 210 lbs., Worsley’s size and lean build make him a natural for slicing through the water at high speed. In London he’ll compete in the 800-metre relay and hopefully the 200-metre freestyle, one of his strongest disciplines. Worsley was born and spent part of his youth in Vancouver, playing baseball and hockey, encouraged by his dad. At about
age eight, one fateful day at the North Shore Winter Club, his mom asked him to jump in the pool. “I was horrified. I did not want to get in the pool with those big kids,” Worsley says laughing. “But my mom told me if I get in now, she’ll take me to McDonald’s afterwards. So I went in.” His family relocated to Steamboat Springs, Colo., when he was 10. He later excelled at swimming in high school there, coached by his mom. He went on to be one of the best athletes produced by the University of Denver, where he earned a degree in business marketing. As a senior in 2009, he earned DU’s male athlete of the year and won a second straight male swimmer of the year honours in the Sun Belt Conference. After moving back to Victoria to train full time with team Canada, Worsley’s past three years have been a constant stream of competition, including world
Unique, Special Sailing!
championships, the Commonwealth Games in India and the Pan Pacific Championships. On March 27, all the training and meets came down to one shot in Montreal. To be invited to the Olympic team, Worsley had to win the 200-metre freestyle, which he did in 1:49.06. “(Montreal) wasn’t my best day, but to make it through and to get on the team, it was a good day,” he says. The last few weeks before the Olympics in July, the Canadian swim team will be at a taper camp in Sardinia, Italy, before arriving in London. “This is the first time I’m going to the Olympics. I’m pretty excited,” Worsley says. “I’m looking forward to walking out there, to competing for my country. It’s been a dream my whole life to compete in the Olympic Games. I’ll put my best foot forward and do what I can do.” editor@saanichnews.com

Craig Didmon hired back to Victoria Grizzlies Travis Paterson
Local news. Local shopping. Your local paper.
News staff
Craig Didmon is back with the Victoria Grizzlies after three seasons away. The former Grizzlies assistant coach to Geoff Courtnall in 2009 will resume that position and more as the assistant coach and assistant general manager to recently appointed head coach and GM Bill Bestwick. Didmon left after the Grizzlies hosted the 2009 RBC Cup, having lost out on getting Courtnall’s head coaching job to Victor Gervais. Three years later, a change of ownership and a few good spins on the merry-go-round that is coaching in junior hockey, and Didmon returns to the Grizzlies. Meanwhile, Gervais is not far, as he will guide the rebooted junior B Westshore Wolves, who will also play out of Bear Mountain Arena. Didmon is giving up his part-time assistant coaching gig with Victoria Royals, but will continue running the West Shore Hockey Academy for students of Spencer middle and Belmont secondary schools. “This creates an opportunity for a great partnership with the West Shore academy and the Grizz,” Didmon said. “With where the Grizzlies are at, we have a lot of work to do, and the academy has to get ready to go. But the B.C. Hockey league schedule, which is mostly weekends now, works well with the academy’s schedule.” A promotion with the Royals, if and when that ever becomes an option, would mean giving up the academy, which Didmon is happy to run. “The Royals were great, I’d love to go back down the road, probably in a higher position.” Didmon’s relationship with Bestwick goes back to Didmon’s playing days with the BCHL’s short lived Victoria Warriors. “He came to the Warriors part way through the 1990-91 season. He was the best junior coach I had.” Bestwick was the Warriors third coach that season and snuck them into playoffs and past the country’s top-seeded New Westminster Royals,

Craig Didmon is back with the Grizzlies. before losing to Powell River in the semifinals. Didmon continued to lean on Bestwick when he coached the Victoria Cougars to a provincial junior B championship in 2007, prior to joining the Grizzlies. “Bill taught me a lot, he is a great motivator, he stands behind his players and pushes them to improve. My Cougars teams were a reflection of what the Nanaimo Clippers team was like 10 years ago.”
Recruiting underway Bestwick is busy populating the team’s roster for the upcoming season. This week he signed 18-year-old Eben Norman of Vancouver, a 6-foot-3, 190-pound defenceman who played junior B with North Delta. The Grizz also brought in 20-year-old forward Bret Hartskamp from the Swan Valley Stampeders from Manitoba, a player that started his junior A career under Bestwick with the Clippers. And perhaps the biggest move so far is the multiplayer trade that sent defenceman Braxton Bilous and goalie Garrett Rockafellow to the Westside Warriors for goalie Brady Rouleau, 19, and forward Garrett Skrbich, 19. Grizzlies training camp starts on Aug. 20. sports@vicnews.com

With a paper route they not only earn the money to buy those things, they also gain a new respect for themselves. They discover a new sense of confidence, power and control by having their very own job, making their own money and paying for their own games, phones and time with friends.
It’s so easy to get started… call

LOCAL WOMEN MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Sun, sun, sun here it comes
VIHA videos earn international awards in New York City The Vancouver Island Health Authority’s MultiMedia Services won three awards at the international Questar Festival for excellence in corporate video. “Grief, Loss and Dementia,” in which family members of people with dementia talk about their losses, grief and the importance of support, won the Questar grand award for best Health Awareness video. It also won a gold award in the NonProfit Organizations Health Awareness category. MultiMedia Services also won gold for “Violence Prevention – What role do I play?” in the category of Non-Profit Organizations Safety. The video was created for VIHA Occupational Health and Safety and is used by facilitators as part of the Provincial Violence Prevention Curriculum. “It is an honour to be part of this prestigious group of winners,” MultiMedia Services manager Robert Martin said in a release. “Our team of creative experts produces world-class resources for VIHA and it’s gratifying to be recognized internationally.” The production team for the videos included Ken Smith, Stewart Lockhart, Bill Blair, Wayne Dupuis, Alex Paredes and Sherry Lepage. The awards ceremony was held last month in New York City. editor@oakbaynews.com
