First responder protection law clashes with privacy rights

Bill not useful, says privacy watchdog

GAMES KICKOFF

Kyle Slavin News staff

The B.C. Information and Privacy Commissioner is slamming a law aimed at ensuring that first responders have more peace of mind for their health and safety. Elizabeth Denham says the Emergency Intervention Disclosure Act, has a “serious impact on the privacy rights of individuals.” Bill 39, which was passed in May, allows police officers, firefighters and paramedics to seek a court order to access someone else’s medical records if the first responder has come into contact with bodily fluids. “A lot of members in the course of their duty are bitten, stuck with a hypodermic needle, they get into an altercation and there’s an exchange of blood – you yourself may be cut or the suspect may be bleeding,” said Saanich police chief Mike Chadwick. “It’s going to be for those types of situations where … you don’t know whether they have a communicable disease like HIV, or hep C or hep B.” Chadwick acknowledged that in instances where a first responder contacts bodily fluid, the other individual typically co-operates and provides relevant medical information. Bill 39 is to access the medical records of those who don’t co-operate.

Today marks the opening day of the Summer Games in London, England. More than a dozen homegrown athletes, plus many who train here, are vying for Olympic glory. Parents of past and current Olympians talk about the emotional highs and lows of watching their children in world-level competition.

It’s an emotional roller coaster ride for families of athletes walking onto the world stage at the Olympic Games

Ones to watch

Greater Victoria Olympians in medal contention with first competition dates

nne and Terry Light remember well the excited phone call they received from rowing coaches at Stelly’s secondary following open tryouts for the school’s rowing team. Their son Kevin, a Grade 12 student at the time, had never sat on a rowing machine until that day, when he beat all existing team members on his first try. “They called us from the car, beyond excited,” said Terry. “They latched on to this athlete.” Now a gold medalist for Canada in men’s eight rowing, Kevin built his rowing career at Stelly’s and later the University of Victoria, and the Lights were drawn into a closeknit network of rowing families. After world championship wins in 2002 and 2003, Anne and Terry traveled with other family members of the men’s eight team to watch what they were confident would be a gold medal heat in Athens. The team finished fifth. “As newbie Olympic parents, going on past record, we were thinking ‘Of course they’ll just get in the boat and win like they always win and wouldn’t that be terrific?’” Anne said. “All of a sudden they’re not winning and all of a sudden they’re falling behind and what’s going on? “You bury your head in your hands and think this can’t be happening, but it was in fact happening.” The pressure created by media coverage and hype surrounding the Olympics were too much for the athletes and those close to them. The days that followed were dark. “I don’t mean to sound melodramatic, but it was like a death,” Anne said. “Other than the athletes and the families of athletes, (people) didn’t understand the extreme low of that.” Balancing the extreme lows, are the extreme highs that come along with winning on the world stage. In 2008, Kevin was on the team that came out ahead of the pack in Beijing and won gold in the men’s eight. In the stands once more with the Olympic families, decked out in red and white, Anne attempted to watch, at times turning away. Terry doesn’t recognize himself in a video from the event. “My neighbour back home doesn’t get it, my best friend doesn’t get it, but that other parent who’s right beside you – they get it,” Anne said. “I couldn’t take my eyes off of my son and his crew mates. I’m getting all choked

Olympian Kevin Light’s sister Heather holds a picture of his Olympic gold medal rowing crew, with their parents Terry and Anne, in their Sidney home. Watching their son win gold in Beijing was a high point in their lives. up just thinking about it. … You see the Canadian flag going up and you think, there’s your…” Anne pauses, overcome with emotion. “Terry, you carry on,” she says with a nervous laugh. “I’m not sure I can do any better,” he says over the audible lump in his throat. “It’s emotion that you can’t describe and maybe it’s even embarrassing, because you’re just watching, but there’s that pride in the accomplishment.” The Sidney couple – Terry, a semi-retired pharmacist and Anne, a former special education teacher at Claremont secondary – have another Olympian in their life. Their daughter Heather is a swimmer who has won medals at the Special Olympics B.C. The Lights are humble about what their children have been able to achieve. “I’m more proud of Kevin as a person than I am of his athletic accomplishments,” Terry said. “An Olympic gold is just a part of your life and there are many things to be proud of your child for.” Shifting from rowing to cycling, May 27 was a proud day for all of Victoria as 31-year-old Ryder Hesjedal beat the competition by just 16 seconds and became the first Canadian in history to win the Giro d’Italia. Leonard Hesjedal, Ryder’s father, the man who drove the cyclist to his first downhill mountain biking competition in

Shawnigan Lake at just 14-years-old, surprised Ryder at the finish line. Like the Lights in Beijing, Leonard – along with Ryder’s friends Seamus McGrath and Cody Graham – had the maple leaf flag and hockey stick in hand. They were really “Canucking it,” Leonard said. “There was a moment when he first saw me that he said: ‘I knew you’d be here, dad. I knew you’d come,” Leonard said. “For me to hear those words – there were so many other times that I wondered if he wished I were there in person.” Leonard and his wife Paige Porter, who both work for the Capital Regional District, have also felt those low moments. It was just more than a month after the Giro win when they were struck with the news of Ryder’s Tour de France crash and subsequent exit from the race on July 7. “It was pretty heartbreaking, but we understood,” Leonard said. “When they hit the ground it can be pretty earth-shaking, body-shaking, scarring over scars. ... If he gets up … everything’s good.” Leonard and Paige were there as Ryder rode a mountain bike in the Games in Athens. They’ll take in the road race and time trials in London from their Metchosin home. Though Paige and Leonard won’t be roadside physically, their thoughts will be in London and the event will be celebrated

on Ryder’s return home. “I always thanked his coaches and they always said it was the parents who were the most important,” Leonard said. “The coach can just coach. The parents need to give them the support. The parents need to be there to pat them on the back and watch them do what they’re doing.” The Lights will also follow the 2012 Olympics from the Island as Kevin, now 33, makes the trip to London as a spare on the men’s eight. Despite the family’s intense connection to the Olympics, it’s one that could go quietly unnoticed by those outside their circle. “We don’t ever open up the conversation with ‘This is our son, the gold medalist,’” Anne said. “We’re not the kind that will boast about it because everyone has sons and daughters who they’re proud of in different ways.” nnorth@saanichnews.com

Canada’s wildcard

CHAMPION Simon Whitfield gunning for third and final Olympic medal Travis Paterson News staff

Photo by Rumon Carter

Victoria-based triathlete Simon Whitfield pauses during a cycling trip in Arizona in 2011. Whitfield, 37, will be in tough against younger competitors in London, but is still considered a threat to medal.

ou can count on Simon. Leading the Canadian team into London’s Olympic Stadium as our flag-bearer for the Opening Ceremony today (July 27) is no burden for the 37-year-old, who is competing in his fourth and last Olympics. While the gold and silver medal winner is less likely to make the podium, he’s a medal hopeful nonetheless. “Mentally, I’m in a great place, but it’s going to be a big task to take down the young guys,” Whitfield said. “I’ll go down swinging.” The sport the Victoria resident defined with a gold medal in Sydney in 2000 has spawned a new generation. Many of the competitors Whitfield will face in London were teenagers back then, including home-course favourites, brothers Alistair and Jonathon Brownlee. And that’s fine with Simon. “There’s definitely a trend to older athletes and longer careers due to sport science and better physiological understanding,” he said. “It’s evolved.” There’s a team factor too. Although the sport is made up of individual entrants, Whitfield won a silver medal after he was famously led out

by Hamilton’s Colin Jenkins at Beijing in 2008. Jenkins paced Whitfield in the swim and, for a portion of the bike, with a plan of conserving Whitfield’s energy. Consensus is it worked, as Whitfield surged from behind to take first in the final kilometre, only to fade in the final 200 metres. Jenkins finished 50th. This time Whitfield is joined by Brent McMahon, a North Vancouver transplant to Victoria, and Oakville, Ont. native Kyle Jones. But as obvious as it might seem, Triathlon Canada’s executive director Alan Trivett said tactics are a last-minute decision. “There’s not going to be a team strategy to employ this time. If they’re in a chase pack on the bike, they’ll work together or protect each other on the course.” However, McMahon, a veteran of the 2004 Olympics, told the News earlier this year that decisions on Olympic racing strategies are made close to the time of the race, depending on who is in the best form. Triathlon is an unpredictable sport, where years of disciplined training can go out the window by a kick in the face during the swim, a trip during the transition out of the wetsuit or a well-executed team strategy. “It’s often about what happens on the day,” McMahon said. “That’s what triathlons are.” And no one is better at preparing themselves for the day than Whitfield. sports@vicnews.com

Clean water a boost for Gorge swimming festival Roszan Holmen News staff

People considering taking the plunge at the upcoming Gorge Swim Fest can rest assured that the water isn’t a threat to health. “I haven’t met anybody who’s not for swimming in the Gorge,” said Jack Meredith, one of the event’s organizers. “They’re all excited about it, but then they immediately go to ‘is it clean?’ People are concerned about that.” Preliminary lab tests by the Vancouver Island Health Authority show very low fecal coliform counts. Samples taken at Curtis Point and Banfield dock both show the water quality is well above the threshold established for safe swimming, said Erwin Dyck, VIHA’s supervisor of health protection. At the same time, he qualified that two samples aren’t enough for conclusive results. VIHA will continue to test the water regularly until the big swim event Aug. 12. Gorge Swim Fest takes place

at three locations from noon to 4 p.m.: Banfield Park (in Vic West), Gorge Park (at Curtis Point in Saanich), and Gorge-Kinsmen Park (in Esquimalt). The purpose of the festival is to re-introduce people to swimming in the Gorge – which for decades in the early 20th century was an activity that attracted thousands of people throughout the region. By the 1930s, pollution in the water discouraged most people from swimming. And despite two decades of clean-up efforts starting in the 1990s, few people have started swimming again. Meredith hopes the festival will help to change that. Already, buzz about the event is starting to make people think differently about the Gorge. Bob Gebbie, coach of a triathlon club TriStars Training, took part in a recent promotional swim event. “The convenience of swimming in the Gorge, as well as utilizing the excellent run paths and biking routes, struck me,” Gebbie said, in an email to the News.

The festival includes music, food and prizes. A photo contest is also underway where you can post swimming pictures in the Gorge for a chance to win trips on Helijet, Harbour Air, Black Ball Ferry and for whale watching. Submission deadline is Aug. 31. Details can be found at gorge waterway.ca/gorgeswimfest.htm or search Gorge Swim Fest on Facebook. People interested in a fun triathlon practice in the Gorge, can email Gebbie at bob@TriStarsTraining.com. rholmen@vicnews.com

Denham says that the bill will not be useful, as there are “very few instances where emergency responders contract communicable diseases.” “Government should only contemplate a privacy intrusion of this nature where there is a significant demonstrated need,” she wrote in a letter to Margaret MacDiarmid, minister of labour, citizens’ services and open government. “Any initiative that limits (an individual’s right to control their bodily integrity) must strike a balance between the reasonableness of restricting an individual’s liberties with the commensurate need to infringe them.

Amid contradictions, Saanich opts to preserve farmland Kyle Slavin News staff

Saanich council found itself grappling with outdated and contradictory land policies Monday night during a rezoning request to allow development on designated farmland. While one municipal document stated Saanich supports removing a parcel of Gordon Head land from the Agricultural Land Reserve for development, another document asserts the opposite. By the end of Monday’s committee of the whole meeting, councillors said conflicting policies need to be changed, and that they favour keeping agricultural land intact. Kyle Slavin/News staff “Our existing policy sugSaanich council has twice rejected an application to remove gests this land should be sent this property on Mount Douglas X Road from the agricultural to (Agricultural) Land Comland reserve to make way for a residential development. mission, but (council’s) mood is not to send it,” said Mayor “For us to support the was already dealt with.” Frank Leonard, referring to a removal of land from the ALR it Council voted unanimously to rezoning application for a propwould have to be such a comreject the rezoning application erty at 1516 Mount Douglas pelling argument (and be) for and removal of the land from Cross Rd. the greater good of our comthe ALR, but councillors were While the regional growth munity … not the development split on amending the Gordon strategy (RGS) says any develof more houses,” Coun.

said Coun. Judy Brownoff. The 1.64-hectare parcel of land currently includes one house, and a dense Garry oak forest. Coun. Vic Derman argued that Saanich’s urban forest and Garry oak protection policies are being overridden by agricultural policies. He said removing part of the property from the ALR could allow for protection of the Garry oaks. “(Under current zoning), all the trees could come down and they

could do things there that nobody liked,” he said. “This might be an opportunity to preserve those values. I think that’s the best possible outcome. … At least that would be something we can control.” By a 5-4 vote, council voted to amend the Gordon Head LAP to clarify that removing that parcel of land from the ALR is not supported. Councillors Derman, Nichola Wade, Vicki Sanders and Mayor Leonard opposed that amendment.

Regional growth strategy trumps Co-op market plans, says Saanich Kyle Slavin News staff

Saanich councillors don’t support their neighbours to the north building a new 40,000square-foot Peninsula Co-op market outside of the Capital Regional District’s previously agreed-upon areas of growth. While Central Saanich has made attempts to allow the store to be built near West Saanich and Keating Cross roads, the CRD won’t allow amendments to the municipality’s regional context statement, as it’s not consistent with the CRD’s overarching regional growth strategy. On Monday, Saanich council

threw its support behind the CRD’s position that Central Saanich should not amend its context statement to build outside of designated growth areas. “This is an egregious request for change,” said Coun. Vic Derman. “No one ever likes to oppose other municipalities or anything of that nature, but in this case, the regional importance of an agreement of how we’ll have a sustainable future overrides that concern.” Coun. Judy Brownoff said municipalities need to adhere to the regional growth strategy, as it’s designed to control regional spending.

“(If it’s not followed) we’ll be running more pipes, building more roads, having to change regional transit routes. That’s why the regional growth strategy is so important for us – so we can manage the regional infrastructure in a sustainable way,” she said. The dispute between Central Saanich and the CRD will be settled by final proposal arbitration. That process is expected to take place next month. Councillors Susan Brice, Nichola Wade and Leif Wergeland did not take part in discussions Monday, as they are all Co-op members. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Arrest made in random home invasion A knife-wielding man was arrested Tuesday in what police are calling a random home invasion. Around 7:45 a.m., the victim called Saanich

police after being confronted in his home, in the 800-block of McKenzie Ave., nearly an hour earlier. The victim had answered a knock at his suite door

around 6:45 a.m., and the suspect held the knife to him. After 10 minutes, the victim managed to leave his home, get to work and call police.

Officers arrived at the home shortly after 7:45, and spotted a man matching the suspect description leaving the residence in a cab. The vehicle was stopped nearby and the man was arrested. “This isn’t a dispute, it’s not an argument, this is a random knock on the door,“ said Sgt. Dean Jantzen. “The suspect was associated to somebody else in the home,” Jantzen added, but couldn’t provide further details. Police believe the suspect may have been under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Charges being considered against the 21-year-old Esquimalt man include assault with a weapon, theft, threats and possession of cocaine. The victim was not physically injured. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Accused YouTube racer in custody Victoria man surrenders to Kelowna RCMP Kyle Slavin News staff

The man believed to have been behind the handlebars of a motorcycle seen in an online video travelling in excess of 300 km/h down the Trans-Canada Highway has turned himself in to police. Randy George Scott, 25, walked into the Kelowna RCMP detachment Tuesday (July 24) around 7 p.m. Saanich police had issued a warrant for his arrest earlier in the month. "I know the (tactic) by our investigators was really to turn

the heat up," said Saanich police Sgt. Dean Jantzen, speaking about attempts officers made to contact Scott, through family members, friends, associates and social media. "The message from our officers who were really trying to make contact him was, 'Hey, do the right thing. Come and turn yourself in. Let's deal with this.' â€Ś Whether some of those messages have made it through the grapevine or whether he's had a change of heart and decided to do the right thing, only time will tell." A two-minute video, showing the motorcycle dashboard and the driver's first-person view weaving in between vehicles, was posted to YouTube on April 8 and quickly came to the attention of police. The digital speed-

ometer shows the bike hitting speeds of 299 km/h. The bike was seen travelling between Saanich and Langford. On April 13, after receiving a number of tips about the rider's identity, police found and seized the motorcycle from an Esquimalt residence. Police say the bike's owner is Scott's mother. The motorcycle, a blue 2006 Yamaha, has since been seized by the province's Civil Forfeiture Office. On April 19, Scott's mother was slapped with three Motor Vehicle Act tickets, totalling $1,449 in fines. Scott was expected to appear in court in Kelowna on Wednesday. He currently faces one count of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.

Janitor takes punch, but busts thief Kyle Slavin News staff

A janitor is being credited for catching a thief who Saanich police believed targeted a handful of businesses in the 3900block of Quadra St. Around 7 a.m. on Tuesday, police were called to a mortgage broker in an office building at

3995 Quadra St. after the janitor spotted an unknown man in the building. The janitor attempted to grab the man, but was punched in the face. A second employee came to the janitorâ€™s aid, and the pair was able to successfully hold down the suspect until police arrived. A 46-year-old Victoria man,

who has a decades-long history of commercial property crimes, was arrested and faces one count of break-and-enter to a commercial building. â€œApparently this individual had property on him from the party store,â€œ said Sgt. Dean Jantzen, referencing two breakins earlier this month at a shop just a block away.

Riding changes need a rethink T

his year, federal electoral boundaries commissions are redrawing riding maps to squeeze in 30 more seats, including six more in British Columbia (giving us a total of 42). For many people in the Capital Region this is a yawn-inducing exercise that won’t impact their lives. But for people in the western half of Saanich, the West Shore, Vic West and Sooke, the riding they live in could change significantly. The commissions are out to create ridings encompassing roughly 111,000 people. Greater Victoria could get a new, geographically small urban riding called Esquimalt-Colwood – effectively everything west of the Blue Bridge and east of Veterans Memorial Parkway in Langford and Colwood. In turn, the old Esquimat-Juan de Fuca riding, created in 1987 and spanning from Esquimalt to Port Renfrew, would see its urban base gouged, then be fused with the Cowichan Valley, from Ladysmith south. This may work on a map, but it seems to ignore the geographic, cultural and economic realities of the south Island. The Malahat creates a sharp divide in many ways between Cowichan and Greater Victoria. Creating federal ridings that meet population criteria and mesh with regional realities is difficult, but boundary commissioners in B.C. may want to sharpen their pencils again for the Island. People interested in how their riding could change can visit www.redecoupage-federal-redistribution.ca. The commission is accepting written submissions until Aug. 30. A public hearing goes Oct. 17 in Victoria. Have your say on where you vote.

Thoughts are with Olympians As the Olympic torch is lit in London today and athletes begin competing on a global stage, our thoughts and hopes are with those who we’ve found training on our lakes, roadways and nearby gymnasiums. We wish Island Olympians and all the Canadians the best of luck as they pursue their dreams and represent their country with pride. What do you think?

These programs that are exclusive to the cable channels have the liberty to show life in a more realistic manner. But how realistic is it? Sure we swear occasionally, we use the bathroom, we take off our clothes and if we are lucky, we have sex too. But do we talk about it in the office afterward? Do we share all the dirty details of our personal lives with our friends or co-workers?

Watching the adrenaline rush of vice-president Selina Meyer’s office in Veep is addictive. Lines such as “I don’t have time to ignore you,” “Hey, hey it’s the flunkies,” and “OK kittens, time to get drowned,” leave my office feeling dull, flat and boring.

LETTERS Nurse practitioner valued member of team Re: Nurse practitioners provide quality care (Letters, June 13) I strongly support the role of nurse practitioners, as described by Rita Schreiber. The NP at the clinic I attend is clearly equal in her knowledge and most skills to the MDs. She has often supported me back to wellness with advice and treatment that was not offered by my physician, partly due to time constraints, as most have only time to attend to â€˜one ailmentâ€™ per visit. The nurse practitioner has taken more time and assisted with problem solving and alternatives. We need more nurse practitioners, as they are valuable and cost-saving members of the health-care team. Some doctors just have to get over resistance to their presence and enlist them, especially in a clinic practice where their skills could solve the problem of â€˜waiting timeâ€™ for appointments.

Sewage plant location shows lack of respect Re: McLoughlin Point sewage treatment plant As a property owner in Saxe Point, I am not satisfied that this location, nor this technology, is the right choice for the Greater Victoria sewage treatment. This property is located in the heart of the city waterfront, not a location for a treatment plant. The Capital Regional District has a responsibility to land owners and this plan does not respect our investment in land and our commitment to creating healthy and enjoyable communities.

Two men who left the cafĂŠ shortly after us realized we were stuck and offered a boost. After they successfully got us going, our car stalled again a few blocks away, and the same men stopped and tried to help. Unfortunately the second attempt was not successful, and we had to call for a tow. The tow-truck operator was there within 15 minutes. That would be unheard of in Calgary. He was friendly, prompt and even parked our car in the marina for us. This is the type of help and friendliness we have come to know in the area, and a major reason we visit so often.

Two members of the Capital Regional District’s deer management advisory group have resigned from their roles. The News has learned that Robin Bassett and Kerri Ward sent a letter of resignation to the CRD board in early July, after expressing concerns about the process of the citizens advisory group’s (CAG) meetings and the possible direction the board may go. Bassett and Ward felt that the facilitator was trying too hard to get members of the CAG to reach consensus on specific management options, according to Geoff Young, CRD chair.

Don Denton/News staff

A buck deer looks up from grazing in a field near Goldstream Avenue. They also felt that not enough information, such as data on deer population and technical information, was being provided to committee members, he said. Having these members resign from the CAG illustrates how difficult and contentious the deer issue is, Young said. “Basically, what it says to me

is that it’s a really tough issue. It raises deeply held views.” However, Young stressed that he is still confident the CAG will provide useful information to the board. “We never expected that the committee was going to solve everything for the board, and I don’t expect that will be the case,” he said. “But, I think there will be some useful thoughts and information and considerations coming out of the committee, even though it hasn’t gone as totally smoothly as we might of hoped.” The board will consider not only the CAG’s report, but technical information, feedback from the general public, including the constant flow of letters and emails the CRD receives, and the concerns of the members who resigned. Young admitted that perhaps he was “a little bit optimistic” in thinking that this would be a quick discussion. “My feeling is now that it’s probably not going to be a case (where) the board gets the final report and then quickly makes a firm and final decision. I suspect there will be a lot of further discussion.” The CAG has assessed 11 possible management options and is nearing the end of its regular meetings. Currently, the group is reviewing its discussions and adding any second thoughts before summaries of each method will be posted online, according to Jeff Weightman, the project manager. A report to the CRD’s planning, transportation, and protective services committee is expected in August, with a final report to the CRD board expected in September. The board’s hope is that there are strategies the now nine-member committee can agree on that would address the deer problem to some degree. “I have been aware, and I think all board members were aware from the beginning, that this was going to be a difficult issue,” Young said. Neither Bassett nor Ward could be reached for comment. For more information about the CAG, see crd.bc.ca/ deermanagement. reporter@vicnews.com

Exotic snake found in yard

THREE FURNISHED DISPLAY SUITES

Deer, birds and raccoons might be common wildlife found in Saanich backyards. Three-foot long California king snakes, not so much. On Sunday evening a resident in the 900-block of McBriar Ave. spotted an “obviously non-indigenous” snake in his backyard, said Saanich police Sgt. Dean Jantzen. Saanich officers transported it to the Capital Regional District animal shelter. Anyone missing a snake can call 250658-5745.

Cougar sighting near UVic On Monday two young people saw what they thought was a cougar in Haro Woods. Police say the sighting is unconfirmed, but people in the area should keep dogs on a leash and children nearby. Saanich has had multiple cougar sightings this summer.

A Victoria woman has been charged with animal cruelty, after a heavily flea-infested and sickly cat rescued from a Gorge Road residence died in March. A veterinarian who arrived at the home after being called by a family member was told the three-year-old Persian hadn’t eaten in four days and was lying in her box howling in pain, according to the vet’s report. The cat, which was lethargic and unresponsive,

died of cardiac arrest a short time after the intervention, having lost blood and suffered other complications due to the flea infestation, said B.C. SPCA special constable Erika Paul. Paul admitted the case may not have been uncovered had the veterinarian not been called to check the cat. The charges were based on evidence from the veterinarian. “Most of our investigations are complaintdriven,“ she said. While fleas are common around Greater Victoria, serious infestations can be easy to spot, she said, by the animal constantly scratching, as well as humans sustaining numerous flea bites. Infestations leading to death are more common in younger animals whose immune systems are not as developed, Paul said. Maureen Silva, charged Tuesday after an investigation, makes her first court appearance Aug. 29 to face animal cruelty charges under the Criminal Code and the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act. In general, it costs about $20 a month for dogs and $18 for cats to keep flea problems under control, Paul said. “The bottom line is if they have a pet, take care of them,“ she said. “If (the animal seems) uncomfortable, address that. There’s very effective flea products out there.“ editor@vicnews.com

Soprano sings opera – minus the horns Edward Hill News staff

Sarah Vardy has a couple of hours to study her music at home before hopping a ferry to Vancouver to perform in the Marriage of Figaro. Between managing auditions around the world, refining her voice and actual performances, Victoria’s rising opera star has little time to catch her breath. The 33-year-old soprano who lives in Langford has her year set out before her. She’s earned the right to study under Canadian tenor Richard Margison in Hamilton, Ont., for August. In September, she’s been invited to a vocal competition in Palermo, Italy, followed by a three-week opera concert tour of China over Christmas. Somehow she’ll squeeze in auditions in German opera houses this fall and winter after being invited back, based on a threemonth tour earlier this year. In the meantime, Vardy is fine-tuning her thunderous voice under American vocal coach Luke Housner, who is leading the Marriage of Figaro this week in Vancouver, followed by Mozart’s Don Giovanni at the University of Victoria next week. Becoming an opera singer is a childhood dream of Vardy’s, but it’s a relentless schedule of performance and practice just to get a chance to audition for a job. “Competition is fierce, especially being a

Edward Hill/News staff

Up and coming Victoria-based opera singer Sarah Vardy is performing in Don Giovanni at the University of Victoria next week. The busy 33-year-old soprano will be auditioning in Germany, touring China and competing in Italy this year. soprano. Everybody is a soprano,” Vardy says. “You’ve got to look to your strengths and what you bring to the table that is different.” For Vardy, that would be her deep, penetrating voice that can cut through a full orchestra. It’s the kind of classic voice people associate with opera.

“I sing a more dramatic repertoire. Verdi, Puccini, any Romantic repertoire,” Vardy says. “Anything that that involves death and destruction. It’s definitely a stereotype ... what I sing is the stereotype of opera, minus the horns.” The Don Giovanni public performances are the products of week-long opera work-

shops for young up-and-coming performers. Like any instrument, Vardy’s voice needs tuning and crafting to make sure her vowels are perfectly formed and her Italian, French or German hits the right dialect. She likens it to golf – even Tiger Woods never stops working on his swing. “You never arrive at a point in opera singing where you say, ‘Now I’m done,’” Vardy says. “Your voice changes, you have different roles and repertoires. Now I’m working on half-screw turns ... it’s a little tweaking all the time, every day.” In Mozart’s Don Giovanni, Vardy has the role of Donna Anna, who spends most of the opera trying to solve and then avenge the death of her father. Performed in Italian with English subtitles, Vardy says Mozart writes operas that are accessible and easy to follow, and has familiar music scores that have filtered into popular culture. Shifting gears to Donna Anna from her recent Countess role in Figaro is a welcome challenge that takes Vardy out of her comfort zone. “This role is high note after high note. (Donna Anna) is melodramatic. She comes across as agitated,” she says. “It’s a challenge, but a good challenge.” The Vivace production of Don Giovanni is July 31, Aug. 1-2, 7 p.m. at the University of Victoria MacLaurin Building, Music Wing room B037. Tickets are $10. editor@saanichnews.com

Lovers separated … by Sasquatch? Devon MacKenzie News staff

The Peninsula Players and North Saanich’s Muse Winery are teaming up again to put on their third annual summer show. Suddenly Sasquatch, an original musical written by Saanich resident Sasha Moriarty-Schieven and produced and directed by Gerald and Chantelle Schieven, will take place on the newly built Ortega Terrace at the winery, designed to let the scenery in with its open sides and to keep playgoers protected from the elements with its roof. This year’s show follows two characters, Amelia and Roderick, as they are pressured to marry by their

domineering mothers. But everything is turned upside-down when Amelia meets the Sasquatch. Playgoers can enjoy lunch or dinner from the Bistro Muse before they take in the show, if they wish. The two previous shows put on by the Pen Players and Muse were Dial ‘M’ for Merlot in 2010 and Gone with the Wine in 2011. The show runs July 28 and Aug. 11 at 7:30 p.m., July 29 and Aug. 12 at 4 p.m. Tickets are $25 for evening performances and $20 for matinees and are available at Muse Winery& Bistro, 11195 Chalet Rd., North Saanich, or by calling 250-656-2552.

heldon Crawford is accustomed to challenging himself. As a military police officer at CFB Esquimalt and with a 2008 tour of Afghanistan under his belt, the 25-year-old corporal understands the mental and physical strength required to get the job done. But when he trades in his uniform for cycling shorts this fall to conquer the 1,000-kilometre Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock, Crawford will be thinking of the hundreds of B.C. children diagnosed with cancer who struggle with much greater challenges every day. “I remember "I remember seeing the Tour de Rock, it was seeing the Tour de a big thing growing up on the Island," Crawford Rock. It was a big said. "It's an amazing cause, and cancer is that someone so young shouldn't have thing growing up on something to go through." the Island.” Crawford is one of two military police officers participating in this year's tour – the other is – Cpl. Sheldon Cpl. David Thompson, who works out of CFB Crawford Comox. The roster includes 14 police officers, two members of the media and two special guests. Since its inception in 1998, Tour de Rock has raised more than $16.6 million for the Canadian Cancer Society. The money is earmarked for pediatric cancer research and also helps fund Camp Goodtimes, a medically supervised summer retreat for kids dealing with cancer. "It gives the kids and their families the opportunity to have fun and not worry about chemotherapy and all their medical appointments," Crawford said after he visited the Maple Ridge camp last week. Crawford's personal fundraising goal is $12,000, although he hopes to raise more He's already managed to collect $7,000, including $4,000 from a concert at the Pacific Fleet Club in Victoria. "It's an excellent opportunity to give back and see some of the Island," he said.

Philanthropy Smart & Caring Kicks Off

The Victoria Foundation & Black Press Working Together – how philanthropy shapes our community

with Victoria Foundation and Governor General There were kicks, hits, tosses and high-fives July 19 as the Victoria Foundation launched its Smart & Caring Community Fund with the help of the Governor General of Canada. The flurry of physical activity took place because one of the initiatives the $200,000 matching fund will support is a physical literacy program for young children. Program participants demonstrated activities for His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston and a crowd of more than 400 people at the Pacific Institute for

“[It] is a great way to support children, to help them battle inactivity and gain conﬁdence. In turn, they might be inspired to help others throughout their lives, building on the kindness that they were shown early on. And who knows what they will think of to transform our communities in the future? And when this happens across the country, a better Canada is the result.” – His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston

Sport Excellence. Victoria’s fund is the first in a national Smart & Caring initiative of Community Foundations of Canada. Inspiration came from His Excellency in an address to the organization last year where he called on Canada’s community foundations to help develop a smarter and more caring Canada to celebrate the nation’s 150th anniversary in 2017.

His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston presented Caring Canadian Awards to 10 B.C. residents. The Award recognizes individuals who volunteer their time to help others and to build a smarter and more caring nation.

As the Olympic torch fires up today, parting words from rower Dave Calder echo as resolutely as they did at last month’s Olympic send-off. “It’s Canadian to be modest, but our pride has caught on like wildfire.” And so it has, especially in Victoria, where Simon Whitfield has become as much a national icon in his own country as the flag he’ll wave at the Opening Ceremony in London. Calder has seen the rise in national confidence and credits president Marcel Aubut of the Canadian Olympic Committee for bringing athletics to the forefront in recent years. But it’s also no secret the rigorous training regimes of an Olympic athlete has its ups and downs. And Calder is quick to

From the Island, with love With so many athletes based out of Greater Victoria for the area’s year-round training climate, it’s getting hard to keep track of native athletes, temporary visitors, and transplants who’ve come to stay. While the national training centres for swimming, rowing and triathlon are obvious draws, as is the Canadian Sports Centre Pacific, some come to Victoria in hopes of an international athletics career. Not to be overlooked, the UVic Vikes athletic program is a key piece of the Island’s Olympic development system. The Vikes are responsible for starting many Olympians on their way, such as alumnae Rachelle Viinberg (nee de Jong) and Darcy Marquardt. The pair of rowers are in the women’s eight, though their time at the university has come and gone. Marquardt, however, only took up the sport upon arriving at UVic. Lindsay Jennerich, 29, also competed for the Vikes. Jennerich, a Claremont secondary grad, and Patricia Obee, 20, from Stelly’s secondary, will race the lightweight double.

Jennerich is originally from here and has no intentions of leaving. So much so that when Obee joined Jennerich in the double last year, the two led a successful coup against Rowing Canada to train in Victoria rather than London, Ont., the previous home of the women’s double. And unlike Marquardt and Viinberg, some Vikes do stick around. Vikes alumni Gabe Bergen and Doug Csima are in this year’s men’s eight crew, which is based out of Elk Lake. Other members of that boat, Andrew Byrnes and coxswain Brian Price, are from Ontario, but are embedded in Victoria. “I’ve been living in Victoria for about seven of the last 10 years, full time since January 2007,” said Price, who won gold with the boat at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. “My two kids were born at Victoria General Hospital and my wife works in Brentwood Bay.” Regardless, Price still lists his hometown as Belleville. “Gotta keep the roots intact.” sports@vicnews.com

crumbling,” said SBA president Ross Macfarlane. “We’ve made a couple of inquiries but we aren’t ready to discuss the locations of them yet.” In April, town council terminated the SBA’s contract to run the market, but when the SBA’s lawyer presented potential legal costs to the town, that decision was reversed. On July 4, the town gave the legally required six months’

Dear Ron: My jaw is clicking and sometimes it gets painfully stuck so I cannot fully open or close my mouth or eat comfortably. Please help my stressed jaw. Dear Stressed Jaw: What you describe is a fairly common condition: Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Dysfunction. This joint is between the mandible (lower jaw) and temporal bone (skull) in front of your ear. Many problems can occur with this joint and related muscles, causing facial pain, headaches, earaches, as well as clicking and locking of your jaw. It can be strained through dentistry, over-clenching when stressed, poor posture, or a “whiplash” type injury. I recommend manual joint mobilisation and muscle release techniques coupled with postural correction and a home therapeutic exercise program. With this treatment you should be able to yawn and laugh and eat that apple again!

notice to the SBA of the cancellation of their contract. “At the end of the day we hope there will be some level of comprehension reached (by the Town of Sidney) but until then we want to consider our options,” Macfarlane said. Meanwhile, the Town of Sidney plans to issue a request for proposals from organizations to run a market in the town. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Rail station job largely ignored Only one party has expressed interest in obtaining Victoria’s railway station. The small office for VIA Rail’s E&N service to Courtenay sold its last ticket in April 2011. Last month, Victoria sent out a bid for proposals for its removal and reuse – a potentially costly project, likely requiring the disassembly and reassembly of the brick building that sits near the Johnston Street Bridge. The city will consider the appropriateness of the proposed use as well as any potential cost to the city for its relocation. The window for bidding closed April 18, and the city received only one proposal that complied with its criteria. Staff were evaluating the proposal this week. rholmen@vicnews.com
