Developer considers standalone sewage treatment Private plant at Capital City Centre could ease Colwood’s sewage woes Kyle Wells News staff
It’s a dirty job but it may help Capital City Centre live the clean life. Developers of the massive project are looking at building a localized wastewater treatment system that would serve the development, while helping reduce the City of Colwood’s future sewer needs. League Financial Partners and Colwood are in the preliminary stages of developing the project. If the standalone treatment system goes ahead, it’s expected to reduce Capital City Centre resident’s
potable water use by 40 per cent and their energy needs by around 60 per cent. At the same time, the concept could help Colwood, which has been concerned about buying into the Capital Regional District’s proposed sewage treatment plant. One aspect of the plan is to capture radiant energy from a CRD sewer line to help heat the buildings, by way of a District Energy Sharing System. That system uses a heat source to warm up water, which is then sent to buildings to use for space and water heating. The other aspect is sewer treatment. The Dockside Green development in Vic West is being touted as an example of how a centralized development can use its own on-site sewage treatment. Dockside treats its residents’ sewage and then uses the resulting water for landscaping, flushing toilets and a water feature.
Capital City Centre is looking at the possibility of doing something similar. If it does, given the size of the $1 billion project, a potentially major load would be lifted from Colwood’s sewer treatment needs. Municipalities are being asked to buy into the CRD’s plants now for sewer needs up to 2020. Because Colwood is expected to grow much more than most municipalities, the city’s current tax base could be unfairly burdened with the costs of a system designed for a much larger population. Another option would also unfairly increase user fees for residents currently hooked into the sewage system in order to reserve future capacity. Coun. Judith Cullington said ideas like the one proposed by League could be key to the future of Colwood’s approach to sewer.
Council has decided to only buy in for around half of what the CRD has projected Colwood will need. Localized treatment for specific developments could make up any future shortcomings in capacity. Regardless of good intentions and potential outcomes, however, the concept is still in the planning phase. “What we’ve said is that we want to encourage this kind of thinking,” Cullington said. “It’s all very preliminary and exploratory at this point in time. Obviously the city will need to see the numbers to be really comfortable that this is the right thing for all of us.” Colwood has released a nine minute video on the proposed project entitled “The Clear Choice for Colwood’s Wastewater.” It can be found at Colwood.ca. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Kyle’s
weekend picks It’s the B.C. Day long weekend y’all, which surely must be the busiest camping weekend of the year. I’m guessing this based on the fact Kyle that I, who Wells has issues with planning ahead, can’t seem to find a camping spot anywhere on Vancouver Island now that I’ve left it to the last minute. Oh well. There’s plenty to do right here on the West Shore, so why sweat it? The Westhills B.C. Day Celebration is happening from 12 to 4 p.m. on Monday at City Centre Park. There will be live music from local acts such as The Archers and Kuba Oms and the Velvet Revolution, along with tasty food, face painting, and, of course, bouncy castles. Admission is free. Also going down this weekend is the City of Langford’s Music in the Park series at Veterans Memorial Park. The Washington Cook Trio will be playing on Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m., so bring a lawn chair and some public-friendly beverages to enjoy some tunes. And if you’re like me and want to go camping but didn’t have the forethought to reserve, you can try your luck – as I plan to – at Goldstream Provincial Park for one of the first come, first served sites. Good luck. But know that I will take your spot if I get the chance. Have a good weekend.

A new era for erotic lit? Fifty Shades phenomenon driving renewed interest in sexuality, says therapist Natalie North News staff
Its title has seeped into Facebook statuses and tabloid headlines, comedians have staged dramatic readings, and at Chapters in downtown Victoria, the racy book and its two steamy follow ups are the store’s top three best-sellers. Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James – the first in the series of sadomasochism (SM) erotica which has been widely criticized for its poor quality of writing – has become one of the fastest selling books of all time, and one local sex therapist began experiencing an onslaught of women bent on getting in tune with their sexual side like never before. “It’s interesting to me, how the people who have never really been interested in sex are sud-

University of Victoria political science professor Janni Aragon specializes in pop culture and gender issues and sees some troubles in Fifty Shades. Aragon completed her thesis on women in sadomasochism at San Diego State University and says the research reveals most women in SM play the more dominant role, unlike the submissive role portrayed by the lead character in the book. She likens the work, which initially began as fan fiction linked to the Twilight series, as similar to

Cockrell house gets $285,000 from feds A Colwood facility that helps troubled Canadian veterans got a welcome funding boost from the federal government on Tuesday. In a ceremony at the Royal Canadian Legion on Gorge Road East in Victoria, minister of state for seniors Alice Wong announced $258,000 for Cockrell House. The five townhouse units can house 11 people. Since it opened with little fanfare in 2009, the facility has helped more than two dozen veterans get back on their feet. Many had found themselves homeless after struggling with depression or post traumatic stress disorder linked to their experience in war zones or places devastated by natural disasters.
Cockrell Home has earned acclaim from government for its success rate but until Tuesday there was little support in the way of funding. The money is part of a pilot project that has $1.9 million going to four centres across Canada. The goal is help veterans at risk of homelessness. In a statement issued Tuesday, Cockrell House director Angus Stanfield said the facility is happy to be working with the other centres. “Cockrell House is proud to be a part of this important project … we support 11 of our local veterans in overcoming many challenges. Offering a home and supports with other veterans is the foundation for new beginnings.”

Questions you should ask about travel insurance. The summer sees more people travelling over the border, making the most of the warm weather and school vacation. It’s also the time many discover they’re under-insured when they incur steep unexpected medical expenses in a foreign country. These can, however, be easily avoided by asking a few pertinent questions before you go. Do I need travel insurance for a quick trip across the border? Accidents are just as likely to happen on a day trip as any other day at home or at work. Driving on unknown routes could potentially increase the odds. As always, it’s best to ensure you’re fully covered. Does BC Medical Services Plan cover everything? Provincial health care is unlikely to cover all of your medical expenses incurred out of province, or overseas. In fact, the Canadian government recommends that travellers purchase travel insurance when leaving the country because of the extremely high cost of medical care outside of Canada. My credit card automatically covers that, right? You may not have adequate coverage through your credit card plan. Check to ensure you

Is my work travel insurance plan adequate for this trip? Many plans offered through employers lack certain options, like trip cancellation or interruption insurance. You can purchase these on their own to complement your company’s travel insurance. Also, some employee plans only cover the employee, so if you are travelling with your family, ask your insurance specialist about a family travel insurance plan, for both medical or trip cancellation/ interruption insurance.

Licence plate scanning technology questioned Daniel Palmer News staff
Is Big Brother really watching you? Three Victoria privacy advocates have spent the past two years trying to answer that question, digging up scraps of information on a controversial police technology called the automated licence plate recognition system. “We have been stymied at every level,” said Chris Parsons, a University of Victoria PhD candidate specializing in privacy issues. The device uses police cruisermounted cameras to automatically capture up to 3,000 licence plates per hour. It then notifies officers of a “hit” on prohibited owners, as well as uninsured and stolen vehicles. The technology is used throughout British Columbia and is administered Kyle Slavin/News staff by the RCMP. In Greater Victoria, VicPD, Saan- Saanich police Const.

Tour offers insight into artists’ workspace Metchosin, Sooke artists open doors to visitors Kyle Wells News staff
Starting today, Metchosin and East Sooke artists are opening their doors and welcoming the public to take a peak at the process behind their masterpieces. The 11th Stinking Fish Studio Tour, which runs until Sunday, August 12, involves 18 artists of all genres and mediums hosting open houses at their personal studios. Art lovers will be taking a self-guided tour of the studios, dropping in on artist’s workplaces, asking questions, watching demonstrations and enjoying local art. The route starts around Duke Road and extends all through Metchosin into East Sooke, as far as Calvert Road. Along the way are potters, painters, sculptors, woodworkers, fibre artists and more. “It’s a wonderful group of artists, a good bunch of people,” painter and printmaker Lorraine Betts said. Betts is participating in the tour for her seventh year, inviting guests into her studio at her home on Cliff Drive in Metchosin.
Kyle Wells/News staff
Standing outside her Metchosin home and studio, Lorraine Betts is among 18 artists opening their doors to the public for the Stinking Fish Studio Tour, which starts today and runs until Aug. 12. There guests will be welcomed inside to talk to Betts, take a look at some works in progress, enjoy a demonstration and, of course, admire and perhaps purchase finished products.
As an abstract artist, Betts enjoys experimenting with colour, light and lines. She considers herself an explorer, constantly trying new things with her work and striving to never repeat herself.
Fastball team fundraising for nationals Brittany Lee News staff
The Langford Rebels have made it to nationals, but the 11-member team needs help getting to the competition. The women’s under 18 softball team came in sixth out of 13 B.C. teams during last weekend’s provincial championships in View Royal, claiming the last spot for the 2012 U18 Women’s Fast Pitch Canadian Championships in Montreal, Quebec, Aug. 12 to 19. “The girls are very excited because they’ve never had the opportunity before,” Tammy Barry, a mother of one of the players, said Tuesday. This was the first season the girls have played as the Rebels with Langford Fastball – it’s also Langford’s first midget team. Langford came in sixth after the round robin, losing to the Victoria Rebels on Saturday, beating the Kelowna Heat Sunday morning and then losing to the White Rock Renegades later that afternoon. It was the game against the Heat that ensured a
berth in the nationals, Barry said. To make the trip, the team is in a scramble to raise funds for travel expenses, including hotel and food costs. The Rebels have a series of coin and bottle drives planned for this weekend at various locations in Langford. editor@goldstreamgazette.com
While the art is a reward in and of itself, Betts said that the tour is a highlight of the year for her and the other artists, and a lovely way to interact with art appreciators. “People do work alone a lot, as artists, so it’s good to have that connection, communication with others,” Betts said. “The best part is the people who come in, and just chatting. You talk about art but you talk about many other things as well.” Participants can make the tour whatever they want it to be. They have 10 days to visit most of the artists, five days for some, allowing for plenty of flexibility. People can visit as many or as few artist studios as they like over that time period and can even focus on a favourite medium if they choose, for instance only visiting potters. “It’s a very personal insight into the artist’s world, into their studio,” Betts said. “And to have a conversation, to ask about their work, how did they make it. People are so interested.” For more information, including a map of featured studios, visit StinkingFishStudioTour.com. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Licence probe a positive move Depending what side of the fence you sit on, automatic licence plate readers are either another step closer to a Big Brother surveillance society, or a needed piece of technology that can help police nab car thieves and dangerous drivers. Either way, it is a good decision by B.C. Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham to try and shed light on how licence plate readers work, what data is collected and how it is used. Victoria and Saanich police departments and the regional Integrated Road Safety Unit each use a hightech, high-speed camera which can read thousands of plates per hour and match them against those from stolen and uninsured vehicles, and help identify people without valid licences or those who are prohibited from driving – collectively known by police as “hits.” The Victoria, Saanich and Oak Bay police insist they don’t amass and store gigabytes of licence plate image data. That much is true – it’s all passed on to the RCMP, which administers and oversees the licence reader program. All the data is stored on RCMP servers, hits and non-hits alike. RCMP bosses indicate the program could be expanded to help police conducting serious crimes investigations. Victoria-based critics say the plate-scanning program has veered far outside its original mandate to efficiently find bad drivers, and is headed into mass population surveillance, or surveilling known activists. This suggestion seems like conspiracy theory, but it is fair to discuss how much surveillance people should be subjected to, what data is being collected and kept and how it’s being stored. On days the readers are in use, Saanich and Victoria police officers retrieve an encrypted memory stick from the RCMP that has flagged drivers’ plate numbers. It’s plugged into the system. At the end of the shift, the collected data and encrypted database is returned to the RCMP. Hopefully, the B.C. privacy commissioner can offer suggestions to balance the tension between privacy rights and law enforcement. But that investigation likely won’t be able to probe the most troubling aspect of the automatic licence plate reading program – the collection and storage by the RCMP of the locations and movements of innocent people going about their daily lives. The federal privacy watchdog needs to investigate what the RCMP is doing with this data. Police should have their tools, but civil rights shouldn’t be thrown under the bus. What do you think?

OPINION Carbon Trust has run its course growth from new opportunities … (by attracting) offset purchases from private citizens, companies and other governments alike.” That hasn’t happened; the Trust is still a drain on provincial taxpayers – and getting worse. Two years ago, individuals and businesses bought 6,790 carbon credits. Last year, that number fell by more than two-thirds to 2,167. In a free market, that kind of consumer rejection would be taken as a sign to either radically change the model or get out of the business altogether. For government, it’s just another day at the office. Government’s spring 2012 announcement that $5 million of Trust funds will flow back to school districts to lower carbon emissions won’t solve the problem. This will only transfer money from poorer districts to wealthier ones that can afford capital upgrades. And the fund is still only one-third of the total cost to taxpayers – meaning millions more in corporate handouts in years to come. The best solution is the simplest one: scrap the Pacific Carbon Trust and keep our tax dollars out of the pockets of these private companies. While the notion of a carbon-neutral government may sound nice on a website, doing it through corporate welfare hurts both taxpayers and the public services we fund. Jordan Bateman is B.C. director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
LETTERS Politicians should listen to fact-based science
Cyclists need to adhere to Motor Vehicle Act
Re: Scientists must hound CRD (Our View, July 25) The ongoing debate for and against sewage treatment in the Capital Regional District has been going on too long. On one side are those whose opinions are based, it seems, on unfounded images of our effluent floating around our waters and deterring the tourists. On the other side are the scientists, who actually study our waters and tell us there is no scientific evidence of any benefit from installing secondary treatment. The scientists who have spent years acquiring their knowledge based on fact, not surmise, are the people whose opinions should be followed. They should speak up more forcibly and insist we hear and understand the true facts: that the money saved would be there for more urgent matters, such as the loss of marine habitat due to development and the impact of invasive and non-native species. Mary-June Pettyfer Oak Bay
A recent edition of the News (July 25) carried an article reporting on two separate accidents, one of which saw a cyclist trapped underneath a truck that was making a right turn. The comment from the Victoria Police Department spokesman was that “drivers should always shoulder check and cyclists also have a responsibility to make themselves visible to drivers.” Rather than putting the onus on drivers to always shoulder check and bikers just making themselves visible, cyclists have a responsibility to act according to the Motor Vehicle Act and ride according to the rules of the road. Being a cyclist myself, I have seen many incidents where cyclists do their utmost to sneak up the inside and go through intersections when the intelligent thing to do is wait, stay behind the vehicle, let them turn right and then proceed. Let’s all be accident-free. Harry Felsing Saanich

In the week leading up to the 2011 Self Transcendence Triathlon, held annually at Elk Lake’s Hamsterly beach, high bacteria levels caused by Canada Geese droppings sparked a water quality warning from the Vancouver Island Health Authority. The warning was lifted just minutes before the triathlon start and the event went off as planned. Despite an increase in the number of geese on the lake since then, as observed by the Capital Regional District parks department, the bacteria levels are now well within what’s considered a safe range for swimming. Droppings aren’t likely to get in the way of this year’s triathlon slated for Sunday (Aug. 5).
“(Fecal coliform levels) are almost always related to the geese, especially once the bathers go away,” said Erwin Dyck, supervisor of environmental health officers for VIHA. “If you go in the evenings, you’ll see (geese) just congregating where it’s easy to get out of the water.” Human activity adds to some of the contamination, but geese are responsible for the bulk of the bacteria levels, Dyck added. The CRD has contracted a dog handler to haze geese from the beaches at Elk/Beaver Lake. Fecal coliform levels are considered high when the average of five sampling results exceeds 200 cfu (colony-forming units) per 100 millimeters of water. At Elk Lake’s popular Hamsterly Beach, the last average count was 36 cfu. The count at Thetis Lake last week was higher, though still below the acceptable 200 cfu limit and it appeared to be coming down, Dyck said. The CRD hasn’t contracted the same person to haze the geese from Thetis Lake, though they would consider it an option
should bacteria levels climb, said Janette Loveys, manager of CRD park operations. Water quality testing has also been ramped up along the Gorge this summer as community groups prepare for the Gorge Swim Fest event next Sunday. The most recent tests show average fecal coliform counts of 4 cfu at Gorge Park (at Curtis Point in Saanich), 11 at Banfield Park (in Vic West) and 74 at GorgeKinsmen Park (in Esquimalt). When fecal coliform levels are above 200 cfu, beaches aren’t technically closed, but VIHA medical health officers do issue the advisory that swimming in water with unacceptable bacteria levels can increase the risk of ear, nose and throat infection or stomach illnesses. Swallowing high-bacteria water can result in gastrointestinal inflammation. Direct contact with the eyes, ears and nose can cause irritation. Gorge Swim Fest takes place at the three aforementioned locations on the Gorge noon to 4 p.m., Aug. 12. nnorth@saanichnews.com

As temperatures climb to 27 degrees this weekend and people across the Capital Region head to their favourite swimming holes to beat the heat, they won’t be alone.

Care agency calls for more seniors’ beds Care providers association asks VIHA to re-issue requests for proposals Brittany Lee News staff
Seniors in Greater Victoria are in need of a long term care facility, according to the B.C. Care Providers Association. The BCCPA is calling for the Vancouver Island Health Authority to consider other options for long term senior care beds in the region and to put out a request for proposals (RFP) within 30 to 45 days. “Capital Region seniors have waited too long for new long term care beds,” Ed Helfrich, BCCPA CEO, said in a statement, released July 11.
“VIHA should initiate a new public re-tender as soon as possible.” The association’s request comes after Oak Bay council voted, late last month, against VIHA’s plan to replace Oak Bay Lodge as a 320-bed facility. VIHA knew that a return to RFPs would be necessary once height and parking variances for the proposed redevelopment of the Lodge were rejected, a spokesperson said. “That’s exactly what we’ve done,” VIHA spokesperson Shannon Marshall said, adding it could take several months before a final RFP is developed. “We’re moving ahead with that. We too, would love to have it issued sooner rather than later but it is a very, very complex process and we need to take the time to ensure that (it’s done) with solid due process and that it’s as complete as possible before we issue it.” editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Province lauds Metchosin for age friendly policies Brittany Lee News staff
By 2031, close to 1.5 million British Columbians, or almost a quarter of the province’s population, will be over 65 and Metchosin is getting ready. The municipality was one of nine regions in B.C. lauded for being age-friendly by the province last week. The honour comes via the Age-friendly Recognition program, based on the Public Health Agency of Canada’s Pan-Canadian Age-friendly Community Recognition Initiative.
The program, which began in February, is the first step in the creation of an action plan toward recognizing that seniors are an important part of communities, said Ron Cantelon, parliamentary secretary for seniors to the Minister of Health. “It’s more of a philosophy, really, to consciously make an effort to become age-friendly. We’re consciously going to make a resolution to talk to seniors and ask them ‘what do we need to do to be more age-friendly?’” Seniors living in rural Metchosin have different needs compared to seniors in other municipalities,
according to Colleen Brownlee, co-ordinator of the Metchosin seniors information and resource centre located at the Metchosin Community House. Brownlee was chosen by council to look into the priorities and needs, such as transportation, of local seniors and find ways to best help them. “We’re looking at priorities... how do we expand or renew some of the existing services (for seniors),” she said. While Metchosin has made efforts to be more age-friendly, there’s always room for improvement, Brownlee said.
“There are a lot of areas we need to publicize and (consider) how we can do it better,” she said. Some ideas Brownlee and her group are looking at include developing a community kitchen, where seniors could take home what they make for weekly meals, a wellness fair to better inform seniors of the services available in their community and programs through the Greater Victoria Public Library. Brownlee’s efforts come after council passed a motion in late July to make the month of October Active Aging Month in Metchosin. The $1,000 grant awarded to Metchosin with the recogni-
tion will go toward any activities planned for October. “We’re very encouraged and it gives us the emphasis to go on and make efforts for seniors,” said Coun. Jo Mitchell, who is part of Metchosin’s Healthy Community Advisory Committee and Active Aging Subcommittee. Esquimalt and Saanich were also named age-friendly. Video highlighting projects from around the province is available at seniorsbc.ca/agefriendly/afbc_ video. – with files from Natalie North and Charla Huber editor@goldstreamgazette.com
Police seek leads after youths mug walkers in Hampton park Saanich police are looking for anyone with information on a vicious, unprovoked attack that occurred in Hampton Park last week. Two men in their 50s were walking through the park, near Tillicum Centre, around 10:45 p.m on July 25. They passed a group of four young men, who started following the older men, then challenged them, began swearing and demanded money.
One of the young men struck a 52-yearold man in the side of the head with what is believed to have been a baseball bat. He was left with a concussion and a three-inch gash in his head. “This is a very, very serious assault,” said Sgt. Dean Jantzen. The group of young men ran off, and a Saanich police canine unit was unsuccessful in tracking them down.
The only description police have of the suspects is they were all young men, between the ages of 14 and 20. “If you know something about this, or you’re one of those four people and are disturbed by what has happened, if you know someone who might be bragging about this on various social media, whether it be Facebook or Twitter, or in fact have heard someone talking about
this publicly, we do want hear from you,” Jantzen said. “We are at at a loss in this investigation. … Unfortunately there’s little for our officers to go on.” Anyone with information is asked to call Saanich police at 250-475-4321 or, if you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. kslavin@saanichnews.com
Ceremony of Flags adds colour
Busy weekend in store downtown
A 45-year-old military tradition takes place in downtown Victoria tomorrow (Aug. 4). Starting at 7:30 p.m., almost 300 members of HMCS Quadra sea cadet corps will march along Government Street to the legislature, where they will perform the ceremony of the flags.

Over the B.C. Day holiday weekend, there are plenty of activities in and around downtown. The 23rd Symphony Splash is scheduled to run from 1 to 10 p.m., Sunday in the Inner Harbour. The annual festival draws a huge crowd and features a variety of activities and entertainment, culminating with the Victoria Symphony performance at 8 p.m. There’s also the Victoria International Six-aSide Cricket tournament at the Beacon Hill Park oval from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Aug. 4 to 11. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

The age-o-gram with my name on it arrived unexpectedly, in my late 50s, in the middle of the night after an evening of great fun on Pender Island. The pain in my chest was of heart attack quality, but instead of dying I just hurt worse and worse. Tempting as it must have been to let me writhe on the Æoor, my family called 911 and a rescue mission went into high gear. Volunteer Årst responders and paramedics had me evacuated to the island clinic in record time. A doctor was roused from bed and accurately diagnosed a very serious gall bladder failure. A helicopter was summoned and I was whisked to Victoria General Hospital. Days later I was informed by the surgeon that I would have been dead in 12 hours had not the Åre and rescue response been so efÅcient. He also made it painfully clear

Legendary folk music icon Arlo Guthrie is touring in select cities across North America with three generations of Guthries to celebrate Woody Guthrie’s 100th birthday (July 14, 1912). The Guthrie Family Reunion tour will make its way to a dozen venues and music festivals, including the Butchart Gardens. “Getting the family together and heading out on the road is the perfect way to celebrate my father’s centennial,” said Guthrie. “Only once before did we have the whole family on tour, and we did 80 shows. Instead of doing an entire year of touring and taking the kids out of school, we are focusing on shows right around Woody’s actual birthday. This time of year marks

I’ll also continue my solo touring in honour of my dad through spring 2013.” The Guthrie family will perform several Woody Guthrie songs as well as various Arlo Guthrie standards and new material written by members of the Guthrie family. “The family’s new songs are a great representation of our heritage. I like the idea of Woody’s legacy being carried forth, not only by performing his songs, but to show how it moves us to write our own songs,” Guthrie said. The Guthrie Family Reunion features Arlo alongside his son Abe, who has contributed keyboards and backing vocals to his father’s live shows since the ‘80s. His daughters Cathy, Annie and Sarah Lee Guthrie, all of who have their own bustling music careers, support by singing songs and accompanying on acoustic guitars. Sarah Lee’s musical partner and husband Johnny Irion will lead songs and lend his stalwart guitar playing. The youngest generation of Guthrie kids will join in the fun on select songs.

Looking SHARP
Triathlete Matt Sharpe proof of Whitfield’s legacy
Andrew Russell and Matt Sharpe recently learned what happens when training partners end up racing neck-andneck in the final kilometre of a triathlon. The two Victoria triathletes finished first and second, respectively, at the International Triathlon Union’s Continental Cup race in Magog, Que., on July 21. The final kilometre was a scenario they’d been in many times over the past three years, having linked up dozens of times for training sessions, including many with Olympic team members Simon Whitfield and Kyle Jones. “It was a situation that felt like a session in Beacon Hill Park, just running with your buddy and bringing out the best in each other,� Russell said.

SPORTS NEWS IN BRIEF
Top soccer players headed to UVic Some of women’s soccer’s top recruits from B.C. and Alberta have committed to the University of Victoria Vikes women’s soccer program for the 2012-13 season. Striker and midfielder Sarah Douglas,
midfielder Allie Wiebe, striker Sarah Lefebvre, and defenders Nikki Turner, Sam Lee and Erika Groten are expecting to suit up for the Vikes this year. Since 13, Douglas has played competitive soccer in the women’s premier division with Victoria clubs Gordon Head and Gorge. In 2011, Douglas spent the summer as a regular starter with the Prospect Super 20 Highlanders team following her Grade 11 season with 2011 Provincial A Cup winners Glenlyon Norfolk School.

Don’t let Simon wear you down This week Andrew Russell is in London, training with Simon Whitfield and Kyle Jones as the latter pair prep for their Olympic event on Aug. 7. Russell will move on to an Ironman in Europe later this month. Russell’s partnership with Whitfield dates back to 2007 when Russell arrived in Victoria. By 2009 Russell was regularly alongside Whitfield and Jones. Most recently, the trio is part of a highly elite group under the tutelage of Olympic marathoner turned coach Jon Brown. It’s brought Russell to new heights, finally winning his first ITU this year. “Training alongside (Whitfield), a two-time medalist, has raised my game and I cannot thank him enough for that,� Russell said. “It has shown me what is possible with dedication and honest, hard work. The last three years I’ll cherish for sure.� However, Russell said his group is not for everyone. “The expectations and requirements each day with Simon are fierce and it can often wear on athletes. I learned that I am not Simon and I can’t handle the amount of training he does and the pace he does it in. “You need to self-govern yourself within the program to get the most out of it while not getting run-down. “Brown has been great with this aspect. He reads athletes well and balances my training to suit.� guidance of coach Patrick Kelly and the National Triathlon Centre.

Phyllis McCormand slings her leg off the back of a park bench at Clover Point on Dallas Road and leans into a deep stretch. Later, she’ll smile before gracefully bending forward and pressing her hands flat against the ground. At 88, McCormand has no problem following along as personal trainer Kristina Kowalski leads her through a brief stretching session. McCormand cannot, however, participate in a study recently launched by Kowalski, a PhD candidate in the University of Victoria’s school of exercise science and the department of psychology. McCormand starts her day with an hour-long walk through Lambrick Park, so when she heard Kowalkski was looking for 100 seniors to participate in a study that aims to uncover the cognitive and physiological benefits of walking, she was keen to sign up. But she couldn’t – she was already too active. “She felt that I walked around the park too much, ran up and down the stairs too much,” said McCormand, who also participates in exercise sessions at The Victorian, a retirement residence in Gordon Head. “I don’t scientifically pay any attention. I just walk.” Kowalkski is recruiting people over age 65 who aren’t meeting Health Canada’s physical activity guidelines of 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity each week, for an eight-week study slated to begin in August. Walking groups will likely take place near the Gorge, UVic, Lochside, Dallas Road and Elk Lake.

sity, 15-minute walks at the start of the study and build to 30 to 45 minutes of moderate intensity by the time her research is through. Kowalski will track her findings through questionnaires, walking tests and the use of a pressure sensitive mat to measure gait – an indicator of cognitive function, she said. “I have a unique background in both kinesiology, exercise science and I’ve always had a big interest in brain health,” said Kowalski, who holds a bachelor of science in kinesiology and psychology and a master’s in clinical neuropsychology. “There’s a growing need to look at that area, because we do have a larger population of older adults. It’s a rapidly expanding portion of our population and physical activity is a way to promote our health as we age.” Strengthening Kowalski’s argument on the merits of an active lifestyle is 71-year-old Bob McMillan of Victoria – another ineligible participant in Kowalski’s study, given that he already walks four to five times each week on the Dallas Road pathway. McMillan has reduced function in one leg as a result of polio as a child. While his leg is the reason he gave up golfing and skiing, two of his favourite activities, it has also caused him to ramp up the activities in which he can still participate, such as routine walks. “You’ve got to do something to keep the body going,” McMillan said. “You do what you can do.” Kowalkski aims to develop programs geared toward maintaining cognitive and physical health, boosting independence and quality of life, and reducing the risk of cognitive decline and dementia. “We can’t control things like genetics, but there’s a lot we can do to promote our brain health.” Kowalksi doesn’t just walk the walk when it comes to her academic pursuits. When she’s not crafting her dissertation, the competitive triathlete is swimming, running and biking her way around town. Last year alone she competed in nine triathlons. “It’s a great place and a great time to be doing this,” she said. “Maybe if some of the people in a (retirement) home see this, they might be motivated to do the same,” McMillan added.

ROOKIE MEETS VETERAN Niki Hodgkinson and Jana Sawyer eye Tour de Rock
N
iki Hodgkinson was 16 when she shaved her head for the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock. Eleven years later she’s riding in the Tour de Rock as a rookie officer with Saanich police. The annual fundraiser she started at Oak Bay high school has been ongoing ever since. “I’ve wanted to get involved since then, and wanted to be (a cop), I just didn’t think I’d be able to ride on the Tour so soon,” Hodgkinson said. The 27-year-old is at one end of the spectrum, while fellow Saanich officer Jana Sawyer is at the other end. Sawyer has worn a badge for 28 years, starting with nine years in the RCMP. The past 19 years she’s been with Saanich, making her one of the longest serving women there. “I’d always wanted to ride the Tour de Rock, but with three teenage boys and a husband with (Victoria Police Department), I needed the support from home, and now I’ve got it,” Sawyer said. Cancer has taken a personal toll on her family. “Lung cancer took my mother-in-law eight years ago and my own mom six years ago when it spread to her brain.” Rookie or veteran, both police officers have learned a lot about bicycling, and a lot about what makes the Tour de Rock such a demanding but rewarding campaign. “As far as cycling, you couldn’t jump into it with this type of training intensity without such a big goal,” Sawyer said. While cycling at this level is new for

Saanich police officers Jana Sawyer, left, and Niki Hodgkinson represent the senior and rookie ranks of the SPD on this year’s Tour de Rock. Hodgkinson, she brings experience to the fundraising component. Oak Bay High can be relied on as one of the highest contributors from the Greater Victoria community, as well as Reynolds secondary. “Reynolds (principal) Alana Charlton was at Oak Bay when I was a student and helped me get the campaign started,” Hodgkinson said. Biking too, was Hodgkinson’s initiative. Seniority usually dictates which Saanich Police officers will ride on the Tour de Rock, but the rookie was ready. “Last year when I got hired the first thing I bought was a (road) bike. But I don’t think anyone’s done Tour de Rock in their first year here. I got lucky.”
Lucky is something Sawyer hasn’t been. Twice she’s taken a spill, the first a dangerous tumble over the handlebars and onto the pavement down Willis Point Road. It kept her away from training for 10 days. Soon after she returned, Sawyer twisted her ankle trying to detach her cleat from the pedal during a speedy descent near Observatory Hill. Sprained ankle and all, Sawyer toughed it up the team’s ascent of Mount Washington last week, their most exhausting day of training by far. “Once you do (Mt. Washington), you know you can handle any day on the Tour,” Sawyer said. “It’s a confidence builder.”
