Tour de Rock takes the Island

Riders set off on 1,000 km journey for cancer research Natalie North News staff
Composure is expected of Oak Bay cop Dorothy Junio, but it’s hard not to get a little misty-eyed walking into the Oak Bay High gymnasium when 1,500 kids are screaming for the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock team. For her last two years in the role, the former school liaison officer was swept into the excitement with the Oak Bay teens as they went headto-head in a fundraising faceoff with Reynolds secondary – an annual challenge that has seen students at both schools band together to generate tens of thousands of dollars for the cause that fights childhood cancer. “That’s what drew me into this to begin with,” said Junio. “I cannot believe the Dorothy Junio passion and the emotions that go along with this. It’s contagious. The real purpose comes out when you see kids so dedicated to the cause.” So Junio, 50, along with her husband and Saanich police officer, Jett, became the first husband and wife duo to join the team of police officers on the 1,000-kilometre journey down Vancouver Island set to leave from Port Alice on Sunday. And while Junio was physically fit leading up to the Tour, the commitment meant adjusting to the extreme balancing act of managing three training sessions per week and attending fundraisers and community events with Cops for Cancer, on top of her work as a police officer, business owner and parent of two teens – who have had to “fend for themselves,” she said, while both parents have been tied up. “It’s just been a blur,” Junio said. “We did it one day at a time. That’s how we managed.” “I don’t know how I would have done it without (Jett),” she added. “We motivate each other to get to the events, the training and complain about all the aches and pains (together).” PLEASE SEE: Individual riders become one, Page A6

More than buildings at stake in heritage plan Council seeks input, direction on heritage Tim Collins News staff
The fundamental values that shape the nature of Oak Bay's character are being examined in a process that the Heritage Commission hopes will help guide the future of the community. The process began this spring with the municipal council calling on the Heritage Commission to prepare a heritage plan for Oak Bay. The plan is to be finished prior to and for consid-
eration within the development of the overall Oak Bay Community Plan. “We found that whenever heritage properties came up for demolition or change, we were dealing with them on a one-by-one basis,” said Mayor Nils Jensen. “Having a plan in place with some established policies and direction will be preferable to approaching these important questions on an adhoc basis.” The process is being driven by Stuart Stark and Associates and Donald Luxton and Associates, the consulting firms charged with determining what it is about Oak Bay that makes it special. They're being challenged to develop an effective, sustainable and realistic
framework to preserve the viability of the unique heritage resources within the community. Both firms are well qualified for the job, with Stark literally having written the book on Oak Bay heritage. As well, both firms have received the B.C. Heritage Award, conferred annually by the Minister responsible for heritage. Those awards were given in 2002 and 2009 respectively. “Heritage isn’t always just about old houses,” said Stark. “We want to know what citizens value as heritage in their community.” PLEASE SEE: Range of opinions sought, Page A12

Rick Reynolds has been in the financial services industry for more than 35 years. In 1993, he established R.E. Reynolds Investments and Insurance Services in Oak Bay, where he advises a select group of clients on financial matters. It’s a successful business and Reynolds is a solid, conservative businessman. He is also an artist. After purchasing a waterfront cabin overlooking Desolation Sound, he found himself so moved by the beauty of his surroundings that he began to paint. That was about seven years ago, and Reynolds is still painting. Tim Collins/News staff Despite his business pedigree, Reynolds comes by his love of art honestly.

Six respond to Oak Bay High bid Tim Collins News staff
Sharon Tiffin/News staff
Outside artists Diane Lade, centre, hangs on to her hat as she paints while perched on the rocks of McNeill Bay with her class from the Vancouver Island School of Art (fellow student Nicky Rendell is in the foreground). The class spent the week in various spots around Greater Victoria painting en plein air with instructor Jeremy Herndl.
Six B.C. firms have responded to the Request for Qualifications issued by the Greater Victoria School District in mid July to build a new Oak Bay High. The firms are vying to design and build the new school, a project that’s slated to begin in the summer of 2013. The six firms that have submitted bids have provided details on the design-build team that they would use to complete the project. Those details include the names of the proposed building contractor, an architect, consulting engineers and major trades, all of which will work together to design and construct the new school. A project team, appointed by the school district, will now evaluate the bids on the basis of who the companies propose to involve in the project and the relative experience in design and construction demonstrated by the various bidders. “The design-build concept is a different approach from the traditional tender process,” said Doug Hibbins, procurement manager
of the Oak Bay High School Replacement Project. “Having the design work done in conjunction with the contractor can create a synergy that can improve the whole project.” In the tender process the design and construction processes are separate and the lowest bid for a construction tender is generally awarded the project. Hibbins said the designbuild approach has now been used on a number of school replacements with excellent results. However, the bidding process isn’t over. Three of the companies will be invited to submit comprehensive proposals in response to a request for proposals (RFP). That RFP will be issued this fall, and will require a far more comprehensive plan to meet the functional requirements of the new school. The school district expects to receive those bids early in 2013. “It’s really a matter of ensuring that we get the greatest value,” said Hibbins. “The budget is fixed. It’s about what you can get for the money.” More information on the new Oak Bay High can be found at oakbay.sd61.bc.ca. reporter@vicnews.com

The tour’s
Special Guests

T
he Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock team’s two guest riders this year both have deep connections to the cause. Bob McDonald has helped train riders for the past four years. Matt Webb is a childhood cancer survivor who has been a junior team member for 15 years. Both have found themselves on an emotional and physical journey in the fight against pediatric cancer.
Bob McDonald Edward Hill/Black Press
Having helped train Tour de Rock riders since 2008, McDonald knows how challenging the 1,000-plus kilometre cycle down the length of Vancouver Island can be. But, he said, it’s nothing compared to what some kids go through every day of their lives. McDonald’s motivation to help raise funds for pediatric cancer research comes from close to home. His granddaughter, Lochlyn, was born with Costello syndrome, a genetic disorder that delays growth. Having the syndrome makes five-year-old Lochlyn more susceptible to cancerous tumours. “She was in the hospital for the first 98 days of her life and we weren’t sure she was going to make it,” the 67-year-old Sidney resident said. “She’s now just turned five ... and so far, so good. She’s doing really well.” McDonald, known as Bobfather to

And for the past four years, the father-son team has worked with the riders, preparing them for the two-week trek. Being asked to ride with this year’s team was just a way for McDonald to stay involved and contribute more to the cause, he said. “It’s just so exciting,” he said.
Matt Webb Webb’s memories of his childhood cancer come in flashes. Three months before his fourth birthday he was diagnosed with Burkitt’s lymphoma. For two years he was in and out of B.C.
Downton Abbey
Children’s Hospital in Vancouver in a cycle of chemotherapy and recovery. The Easter Seals House was his home away from home, but he’s thankful his memories of the time are dim. “It’s a half-dozen single frame images in my mind. Nothing more,” said Webb, 20, now 15 years cancer free. “That in itself is a blessing.” Indeed, the gruelling regime of chemotherapy was almost fatal. By chance, his doctors realized the chemicals had eaten a hole in his large intestine. That outcome helped doctors establish new protocols for treating kids with chemotherapy. “They had to stop the treatment early. It would have killed me for sure, even if the cancer didn’t.” Born and raised in Saanich, and in the same house his great-great grandfather built 110 years ago, Webb is one of the few people to directly experience both sides of Tour de Rock as a childhood survivor and junior team member. When Tour de Rock offered the invitation last Christmas, he eagerly jumped onboard. As a 15-year junior rider – a child who has cancer or cancer in remission – Webb has lived Tour de Rock as long as he can remember. Webb said he’s looking forward to experiencing Tour de Rock in the 27 stops that dot the Island. “I’m used to the overwhelming response in Victoria each year,” he said. “But up Island, (riders) are blown away. Little communities give so much, some give more than bigger communities. I’ve heard so much about it I’m eager to see it myself.”

Employees don jerseys for Sports Day Kidsport the beneficiary of fundraising activities Casual Friday at the office typically gives employees a chance to trade in their smart duds for a casual jeans and T-shirt. Friday, Sept. 28 marks a chance to take the concept of casual one step further. Jersey Day gives employees or students an opportunity to don their favourite jersey or team uniform, as a way to build momentum for the third annual Sports Day in Canada, which takes place Sept. 29. “From municipal council chambers to office buildings and classrooms across the nation, we envision a sea of Canadians wearing their hearts on their sleeves on national Jersey Day,” according to sportsday.cbc.ca. The News is participating, allowing all staff and newspaper carriers to wear a jersey in exchange for a $2 donation to Kidsport Victo-
ria, which helps kids from low-income families participate in organized sports. “We’re encouraging all our Black Press sites to participate and the staff to wear their favourite team’s jerseys,” said Black Press Vancouver Island president Mark Warner. “We encourage all our staff to stay active outside the office, and Kidsport is a well-deserving charity that helps get kids active.” On Sports Day, local sports groups from across the country have organized events to celebrate the day, which recognizes sports’ ability to build community and promote healthy living.

That close-knit and supportive team mentality reached beyond the Junios to 15 other riders from across the Island – a group of police officers, media members and special guests who came from a variety of fitness levels and backgrounds to pursue the shared goal of fighting pediatric cancer. “We really gelled together as a team,” said Jose Bingham, a 38-year-old VicPD officer. “We’ve grown really close and we’re ready to get out there.” After eight months of training, media rider and News reporter Kyle Slavin, echoes the sentiment. “At some point you get into a team mindset, which is really neat, where you stop thinking for yourself and you’re thinking about the person in front of you and the person behind you and beside you to make sure they’re not struggling, that they are with you, or they are with the team,” Slavin said. “Once everyone gets to that point, it’s really neat because

you feel like a team.” Slavin, at 25, hadn’t been on a bicycle in several years prior to joining the team and feels fully prepared for the Islandwide journey. “They’ve made the training schedule quite incremental so that you’re able to handle it if you’re 20 years old or 67 years old,” he said. The team’s two special guests, former junior rider Matt Webb who was diagnosed with Burkitts lymphoma at age three, and Bob “the Bobfather” McDonald, who has been a dedicated volunteer trainer and support crew member of the team since 2008, are both of those ages, respectively. McDonald puts a lot of other riders to shame, said Saanich police’s Jana Sawyer – another of the team’s 50-year-old contingent. “I’ve always tried to stay in shape but biking is very different,” said Sawyer, who rides without full function in one of her lungs after several bouts of pneumonia. “I hadn’t biked in probably close to 40 years.” But any setbacks, aches
and pains pale in comparison to the motivation behind the ride: supporting children with cancer. “The thought of my son and daughter being sick like some of the kids we’ve met on tour is absolutely devastating,” said Bingham, a father of two, “so the opportunity to take part has been really special.”
Rock on Since its inception in 1998 the tour has raised $16.6 million toward pediatric cancer research and programs that help children with cancer and their families through the Canadian Cancer Society. Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock sets off from Port Alice on Sept. 23 and arrives in Victoria Oct. 5. For more information, including a tour schedule and how to donate, visit tourderock.ca.
“Every person on tour is going to have their ‘Aha moment’ or their moment of clarity where they realize why they’re doing it and from that point on it’ll be overwhelming,” Slavin said. “It’s going to be the moment when a threeyear-old with cancer comes up and hugs you, or comes up and thanks you, or it’s going to be when you’re in a school gym and you see 100 people who are 14, 15, 16 and they all have shaved heads and you’re just going to burst into tears and from that point on your perspective of tour will be that much different.” Since its inception in 1998 the tour has raised $16.6 million toward pediatric cancer research and programs that help children with cancer and their families through the Canadian Cancer Society.

Prepare for deer hunting season Watch on for urban deer poachers Kyle Slavin News staff
A hunter, or hunters, armed with a crossbow has targeted deer in urban areas of Greater Victoria during the last two autumnal seasons. So as deer rutting and hunting season are about to get underway, Saanich police are putting out a call for eagle-eyed residents. “We saw, over the past two years, a rash of incidents with regard to urban deer poaching and hunting. We would encourage everyone to keep an eye out; if they suspect some behaviour like that has happened, to really

Some nine incidents occurred in fall 2010, where dead deer were found with arrow wounds, or found with theirs heads or limbs cut off. There were also animals spotted walking around with arrows sticking out of their bodies.
Another four arrow-related incidents were reported last fall. Police say public safety is at risk because at least one hunter is firing a crossbow or bow and arrow in residential neighbourhoods. “We know it’s happening out there and we expect that we’ll likely see some incidents in Saanich,” Jantzen said. “So we want to forewarn the public to really be watchful for it.” Things to look for include people dressed in head-to-toe camouflage gear or carrying unusual equipment or cases, particularly if they are spotted in urban areas. Anyone with information about possible poachers is encouraged to contact police right away. – with files from Black Press kslavin@saanichnews.com

UVic, unions back to bargaining After two weeks of rotating strikes at the University of Victoria, pickets are down as union reps returned to the bargaining table to negotiate with the employer. Job action culminated Monday with workers walking off the job at the bookstore and Finnerty Express coffee shop, along with residence housekeeping services. “If we are able to make significant progress this week (in negotiations) there won’t be any picketing action for a while,” CUPE 951 president Doug Sprenger said Monday. CUPE 951 and 917 represent some 1,500 nonteaching jobs such as food service, childcare, and library staff and have both been without contracts since March 31, 2010. Bruce Kilpatrick, the university’s director of communications, said the union’s tactic of continuing to strike despite solidified plans to return to the bargaining table was “unusual.” “It’s hard to figure out because the conventions around this are if you’re going back to the bargaining table, unless you’re involved in a full-blown strike, then you suspend significant job action activity. We’re not seeing that,” Kilpatrick said. Negotiations between the two unions and UVic were expected to take place Tuesday through Thursday this week. At issue for the unions is job security and inflation protection.

The New Homes Registry provides free access to find out if a home has a policy of home warranty insurance and is built by a Licensed Residential Builder, or whether it’s built without home warranty insurance. Homebuyers can obtain valuable information such as the name and contact number of the warranty provider, the builder’s warranty number and whether an ownerbuilt home can be legally offered for sale. Every new home built for sale by a Licensed Residential Builder in British Columbia is protected by mandatory thirdparty home warranty insurance. Better known as 2-5-10 home warranty insurance, this coverage includes: two years on labour and materials, five years on the building envelope (including water penetration), and 10 years on the structure. It’s the strongest system of construction defect insurance in Canada. For free access to the New Homes Registry visit the Homebuyers section of the HPO website.

OUR VIEW
Governance by absentia The B.C. Liberals’ cancellation of the fall sitting of the legislature means the government will have sat just 48 days in 2012. To anyone who voted for the Liberals, and especially those who didn’t, the move is an affront to democracy and good Liberals shoot themselves in foot government. The excuse with cancellation given was that new ministers need time to study up on their portfolios. But the reality is, the Liberals are doing their darndest to avoid making mistakes that might ultimately relegate them further into second-party status come election time next spring. Premier Christy Clark promised big changes to the often-domineering way the Gordon Campbell-led Liberals did things down on Belleville Street. Seeking to distance herself from the modus operandi of the previous regime and create more open government, she called for more sittings of the legislature to allow for more consultation and more ideas to circulate. Instead, she appears to have caved to the demands of the politicos who would rather see the Liberals play a lame-duck game of ‘out-ofsight, out-of-mind.’ With no sessions, the need for valuable allparty committee work falls by the wayside, as does the ability for bills to be passed to keep government operating properly. We recall that once under Campbell’s leadership, the lack of legislative time saw the government nearly run out of money and require an emergency session to pass a funding bill into law. It’s true, many people will be too busy to notice that there’s not a lot of news coming out of the legislature. But the Liberals, politically floundering, aren’t doing themselves any favours. They have an opportunity to go out with guns blazing, doing what they believe is right and let the public decide who can better govern the province. Otherwise they come off as a party clearly running scared. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@oakbaynews.com or fax 250-386-2624.

When I look at things in my own community that bother me, such as dog poop on the sidewalk, I think the dog owners should “get comfortable being uncomfortable,” and carry a bag of poop around with them. Then I thought that while I don’t have a dog, maybe I could get comfortable picking poop so my daughter and other children don’t step in it.

Everything great in the world has made someone uncomfortable and maybe if more people looked at being uncomfortable as a good thing, we could live in a more comfortable place.

And skin, our largest organ, is Yet, pregnant women support a a miracle layer. It keeps the rest fetus that is genetically different of us inside and everything else for nine months.
Thanks to evolution, our bodies have powerful ways to ward off illness and infection and enable us to live long and healthy lives. Why, then, do health costs continue to climb at unsustainable and frightening rates? Part of it is that medical care has become so sophisticated that doctors are able to treat more problems. Another part is the everincreasing cost of drugs. And with a medical system, people are more likely to seek help. Still, health-care costs can’t continue to rise forever. Governments are always looking for ways to reduce costs, often by offloading a greater share of the burden onto patients. We must pay greater attention to keeping our bodies and minds healthy and able to heal. Yet we are making it difficult for our defences to work. We allow things to be sold that should not be called food. Many have no nutritional value and lead to obesity, salt imbalance, and allergies.
We spew chemicals into the environment by the millions of tonnes. Molecules pour into us through air, water, and food, overwhelming or weakening our protective immune systems. According to Harvard University doctors Eric Chivian and Aaron Bernstein, “Our behaviour is the result of a basic failure to recognize that human beings are an inseparable part of nature and that we cannot damage it severely without severely damaging ourselves.” The medical literature tells us that the most effective ways to reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and many more problems are though healthy diet and exercise. Our bodies have evolved to move, yet we now use the energy in oil instead of muscles to do our work. In 2007, the World Health Organization concluded that environmental factors contribute to 36,000 deaths and 13 per cent of the disease burden in Canada annually.
The Canadian Medical Association claims that air pollution causes more than 20,000 premature deaths a year. According to author and environmental lawyer David R. Boyd, scientists estimate that environmental factors affecting heart and respiratory disease, cancer and birth problems contribute to anywhere from 10,000 to 25,000 deaths, 78,000 to 194,000 hospitalizations, 600,000 to 1.5 million days in hospitals, and other problems, totalling between $3.6 billion and $9.1 billion in direct and indirect costs each year. It’s easier, more effective, and cheaper to let healthy bodies fight off disease and infections than to weaken those defence mechanisms and then compensate for them medically. If we want a stable health system, we must put more resources into reducing pollution and environmental degradation and creating a way of life that keeps bodies and minds happy and in good health.

Readers respond: Voter disillusionment, cost of living Voting doesn’t help predicament, reader says Re: Political raises should have more oversight (Letters, Sept. 14) The writer made some very interesting remarks and viewpoints on civil servants, local government workers etc., which I too am fed up and angry with. Ms. Sheridan shares my disillusion with voting. I simply will no longer vote for a system geared to no changes ever, empty promises aimed to collect votes from the poor, needy, homeless – always at election time. It is appalling, disgusting and way, way beyond humour that there are people voting and collecting copious salaries – and with no job title. Where do I start my application? How about this
one: “Help-out guy, can do some stuff, maybe, leave message, does three-day work week, four hours daily – requires $70,000 annually, medical, dental and this year’s BMW for start.” That’s my job description from here on in. I deserve it, don’t I? I sincerely doubt that Christy Clark has ever endured a five-week month, existing off margarine and sugar sandwiches, with only ice cubes in the refrigerator. I am on disability, making $950 monthly. No telephone, no cable, no car, no pet. I am 56 and worked 22 years commercial fishing – taxed to death. I pay $750 for a one-room bachelor suite and have nothing to show for my life. I am finished with voting for good. So please don’t tell me
that voting works. I have voted since I was 19 and look where it’s gotten me. If everyone stood together and either refused to vote, or had a national non-voter day, the sheer number of people would have to be addressed with change. Eddie Kirmzee Victoria
Wages not keeping up with cost of living hike The Cost of Living adjustments for B.C. families, of citizens or other residents, needs a recalculation. With fewer B.C. jobs, many exported with the logs, and the resulting fewer paycheques, shopping and spending in the B.C. market place, the pressure is
pushing B.C. prices up. All this pressure is inflationary. Many B.C. residents are forced out to seek jobs in Alberta or elsewhere, even lessening B.C. shopper market cash flows. Many B.C. merchants cannot raise their prices, so are forced to fold and further reduce the B.C. market of shopping funds. Some B.C. merchants can reduce low margin stocks while displaying the higher margin stuff to shoppers. A few had to jack up prices and/or lay off staff to keep going, further reducing the local market cash flows. We know that B.C. families cannot afford to live with this B.C. government. That leads to the next question. Can B.C. businesses afford to operate under the jobs and
market-cash-exporting ideology, practised by the B.C. Liberals? Dee Shoolingin Duncan

Are big sugary drinks on the CRD hit list? Natalie North
be the next to notice a menu change. Never one to be left out of the discussion on health regulations, Vancouver Island Health Authority’s chief medical health officer Dr. Richard Stanwick, an outspoken leader in the successful campaigns to ban public smoking, idling vehicles and teens using tanning beds within the Capital Region, is considering what local action could be taken to regulate
News staff
Big sugary drinks took a hit last week in North America’s battle against obesity. New York City's Board of Health passed a rule banning sales of sodas larger than 473 millilitres at restaurants, concession stands and other eateries – but thirsty customers with a sweet tooth in the Capital Regional District could
consumption of such high-calorie drinks. “This is a concern,” Stanwick said. “We do know the contribution of a sugary diet to overall obesity rates and a bunch of other things, including diabetes.” Rather than lobbying for a cap on portion sizes, a more suitable approach, Stanwick said, might involve regulating the levels of sugar within the products, similar
to the province’s move to restrict trans fats in 2009. Emblazoning packaging with a simple symbol indicating the amount of sugar in sweetened drinks is one option VIHA’s medical health officers have considered and may bring forward in the future, he said. A single 473 ml drink (roughly equal to one and a half cans of pop) may contain as many as 16 teaspoons of sugar. Quoting the Canadian Institute
for Health Information’s report, Stanwick points to the tripling of obesity rates in 12-to 17-year-olds since 1980. “Clearly we have our work cut out for us,” Stanwick said. “This is an issue that's on the radar of every medical health officer in the province.” Stanwick has not yet brought the concerns before the Capital Regional District. nnorth@saanichnews.com

Range of opinions being sought Continued from Page A1
The process has begun with an online survey in which citizens are invited to provide their opinions about the heritage of their community and offer suggestions on how that heritage should be protected and sustained. “Reaching out online is an approach that we've used in other jurisdictions with a lot of success,” said Stark. “We want to cast the net as wide as possible to get the full range of opinions.” And opinions of what heritage means in Oak Bay are certainly quite varied. Stark has spoken to people within
the community who value the rock outcroppings that dot the neighbourhood. Others see the existence of the back lanes as fundamental to the character. “Some value the gardens, the parks, the trees, the pathways and, yes, the houses,” said Stark. “You find that it's a very personal thing for people once you get them thinking about it.” It’s expected that the full range of those opinions will be presented at a town hall meeting to be held on September 27 at 7 p.m. at the Windsor Park Pavilion, 2451 Windsor Rd. “There’s an amazing mixture of all kinds of values in this
community,” said Stark. It’s his says that in 1986 an inventory hope that those values can be of heritage buildings identiarticulated and represented in fied 205 buildings with herithe heritage plan. tage importance in Oak Bay.

He “One house, once owned by Emily Carr was actually slated for demolition,” said Stark. “Emily Carr. Can you imagine? … And we were prepared to tear it down.” That house was eventually spared, but moved out of Oak Bay. “This plan is a significant step forward to protecting not only the built heritage – and we have such a rich history of architecture – but also the natural settings, the layout of streets … all those things that combine to make our community special,” said Jensen. “I’m very excited about the project.” Stark shares that excitement. “Our heritage isn't just bricks, or even the natural landscape, although it incorporates those factors. Heritage is the foundation – the grounding influence of how we live our lives,” said Stark. “All those things are the landmarks of our lives, they're what gives us grounding and stability.” Further information on the town hall meeting, the online survey and the heritage plan can be found at oakbaybc.org. reporter@vicnews.com

Red reveals internal struggle of renowned artist Belfry Theatre hosts awardwinning play on life of Mark Rothko Daniel Palmer News staff
From the moment the audience enters the Belfry Theatre, the atmosphere is both chaotic and ominous. Huge canvasses swallow the stage walls, familiar deep red and black rectangles painted with remarkable similarity – at least to the untrained eye – the work of abstract expressionist Mark Rothko. Drops of paint litter the stage floor leading toward a plywood work table covered in brushes, stained rags and plastic buckets, giving the unmistakable, oilsoaked feel of an artist’s studio. Set designer Peter Hartwell’s attention to detail is indicative of the quality of Red, the Belfry’s first offering of the fall season on the life of Rothko from playwright John Logan.
David Cooper photo
Jameson Parker and Oliver Becker paint the stage in Red by John Logan, now on at the Belfry. With huge screenplays like Gladiator, The Aviator and Hugo under his belt, it’s clear Logan has a gift for storytelling. He took home the 2010 Tony Award for best
play for Red. The opening scene reveals Rothko, played by the impressive Oliver Becker, lost deep in thought as he stares deeply into an imagi-
nary half-finished creation. His musings are cut short by the arrival of a new and overtly earnest assistant, Ken (played by Jameson Parker).
The entire play takes place in Rothko’s New York studio in 1958-59, at the height of the artist’s fame, when he was creating a series of paintings for the Four Seasons restaurant in Manhattan’s Seagram Building. In a scene that illustrates director Michael Shamata’s enthusiasm for authentic detail, Ken methodically staples a three-metre canvas to a wooden frame before he and Rothko smother it in crimson paint from top to bottom. Sound designer and renowned local composer Tobin Stokes brings to life Rothko’s dependence on music to inspire the creative process. The audience witnesses Rothko’s attempt to hold onto his revolutionary beliefs while embracing the reality of commercialism and fame. The dialogue is rich, the actors engaging and not a moment is provided to allow the mind to wander from this satisfying performance. Red runs until Oct. 14 at the Belfry Theatre and tickets range from $25 to $40. For more information, call 250-385-6815 or visit belfry. bc.ca/red. dpalmer@vicnews.com

WHL B.C. division preview Black Press sports reporters preview the B.C. Division for the 2012-13 season Victoria Royals Last season: 24-413-4, seventh in Western Conference, fourth in B.C. Division. Swept by Kamloops in opening round of playoffs. Head coach: Dave Lowry (first season, 2nd as WHL head coach). Assistants: Enio Sacilotto (third season), Ben Cooper, (second season), Geoff Grimwood (first season). General Manager: Cam Hope (first season). Key losses: After guiding the Royals through the transition from Chilliwack to Victoria, coach-GM Marc Habscheid took an advisory role within RG Properties, the hockey related company that owns the Royals. Key player losses: F Kevin Sundher, D Hayden Rintoul and F Robin Soudek all graduated. Twenty-year-olds F Mike Forsyth and G Keith Hamilton were released during the preseason. Returning 18-year-olds F Zane Jones and D Kade Pilton were traded. D Zach Habscheid is playing for the Sioux Falls Stampede of the U.S. Hockey League (Jr. A). The 20-year-olds: D Tyler Stahl, F Jamie Crooks, F Alex Gogolev. The imports: F Alex Gogolev, Russia and G Patrik Polivka, Czech Republic. Key returnees: D Tyler Stahl, D Keegan Kanzig, D Jordan Fransoo, F Steven Hodges, F Brandon Magee, F Logan Nelson, F Jamie Crooks, F Ben Walker. New faces: Lots of them. Hope and Lowry inherit a team of full of assets, but one that’s been missing that winning feeling. Already they’ve pared the team down to its core, while adding Russian import Gogolev, a premier leftwinger in the WHL, and goalie Polivka. Watch for: Left wingers Gogolev and Crooks to lead a high-powered Royals offence, a solid top six that includes Nelson, Magee, Hodges and a beefed-up Ben Walker. Rookie netminder Polivka has been lights out in the preseason. Just notes: Carolina Hurricanes’ prospect Tyler Stahl missed most of last season due to a concussion suffered in the fourth game. It hasn’t softened

Royals home opener Operatic anthem singer Mark Donnelly, of Vancouver Canucks fame, will usher in the Victoria WHL season on Saturday night (Sept. 22). Puck drop is 7:05 p.m. versus the Giants.
Stahl, who starts the season on a six-game suspension for a check to the head against Kelowna on Sept. 7. Prognosis: It will take Lowry at least this season to build the type of team chemistry that “takes care of itself,” but it will happen. Prediction: Forty wins and a first round playoff exit in seven games. - Travis Paterson, Victoria News
Vancouver Giants Last season: 40-262-4, second in B.C. Division, fourth in the Western conference, lost in six games to Spokane in first round of playoffs. Head coach: Don Hay (eighth season, 14th in WHL). The 20-year-olds: D Wes Vannieuwenhuizen, F Taylor Makin, D Joel Neibrandt. Key returnees: Besides the 20-year-olds, Cain Franson, D David Musil, F Marek Tvrdon, F Dalton Sward. Key losses: F Brendan Gallagher, F Jordan Martinook, F James Henry, G Adam Morrison, D Neil Manning. New faces: D Joel Neibrandt, G Liam Liston, G Tyler Fuhr. Up front: The Giants lose three
of their top five point-getters from last season, including 40-goal men Brendan Gallagher and Jordan Martinook. Returning to carry the offensive load are 19-year-olds Tvrdon and Franson. On the blue line: Led by newly-appointed captain Vannieuwenhuizen, the Giants have five rearguards back from last season, including NHL prospects Musil and Brett Kulak. Neibrandt won a WHL championship in 2011 with the Kootenay Ice. In net: Giants acquired 19-yearold Liston from Lethbridge to assume the starting goaltending duties from Morrison, who won 35 games last year. Prognosis: A dip in production without Gallagher, who was a game-breaker last year. Look for the defence to drag the team into one of the last playoff spots in the Western conference. - WHL files/Travis Paterson
Prince George Cougars Last season: 24-46-0-2, 10th in Western Conference, fifth in B.C. Division, missed for the third time in five years. Head coach: Dean Clark (fourth season, 16th overall) Key losses: G Drew Owsley, team MVP of 2011-12. Owsley played 64 games. D Jesse Forsberg played with an edge. He was dealt to the Seattle Thunderbirds. The 20-year-olds: F Brock Hirsche, D Dan Gibb and D Dallas Ehrhardt. The imports: 1994-born Latvian defenceman Rinalds Rosinskis. Key returnees: G Fordyce, D
Gibb, F Troy Bourke, F Alex Forsberg, F Daulton Siwak, F Chase Witala, F Jordan Tkatch and F Hirsche. New faces: Colin Jacobs (from Seattle) and Jari Erricson (from the Everett Silvertips). Watch for: Alex Forsberg, the first overall 2010 bantam pick, who is eligible for selection in the 2013 NHL draft. He recorded 40 points (15 goals and 25 assists) in 51 games as a rookie last year. Prognosis: Still a young team, mistakes are going to happen as players learn the game. - Alistair McInnis, Prince George Free Press
Kelowna Rockets Last season: 31-314-6, sixth in Western Conference, third in B.C. Division. Swept by Portland in the opening round of the playoffs. Head coach: Ryan Huska (sixth season, 11th on staff). Key losses: F Brett Bulmer (turning pro), G Adam Brown (graduated), and C Spencer Main (retired, injury). The 20-year-olds: D Mitchell Chapman, F Dylen McKinley and F T.J. Barnett. The imports: F Filip Vasko, 18 (Slovakia), and Henrik Nyberg, 18, (Sweden). Key returnees: F Colton Sissons, F Zach Franko, D Damon Severson, D Myles Bell, D Madison Bowey and G Jordon Cooke. New faces: F Ryan Olsen, G Jackson Whistle, D Mitchell Wheaton, C Rourke Chartier, 15th overall pick in 1996 Bantam Draft.
Did you know: Bowey won a gold medal with Team Canada at the Ivan Hlinka Memorial U18 world championship in Slovakia. The prognosis: If Kelowna can score on a nightly basis, then 35 to 40 wins and a second-place finish in the B.C. Division shouldn't be out of the question. - Warren Henderson, Kelowna Capital News
Kamloops Blazers Last season: 47-20-2-3, second in Western Conference, first in B.C. Division. Lost in Game 7, second round of playoffs to Portland. Head coach: Guy Charron (third season). Key losses: F Chase Schaber, D Bronson Maschmeyer, F Brandon Herrod, all graduated. The 20-year-olds: D Madaisky, F Dylan Willick, F Brendan Ranford and F Jordan DePape. The imports: F Tim Bozon, Switzerland; D Marek Hrbas, Czech Republic. Key returnees: F Ranford, F Bozon, F Willick, D Hrbas, D Tyler Hansen, D Tyler Bell, D Madaisky (if he is back), G Cole Cheveldave, F JC Lipon and F Colin Smith. New faces: D Jordan Thomson, F Rob Trzonkowski. The prognosis: Expectations in Kamloops are higher than they have been in more than a decade. The Blazers have the necessary tools this season to make a run at the Western Conference championship and Ed Chynoweth Cup. — Marty Hastings, Kamloops This Week

Dear Ironman, please be patient Tight deadline limits proposal Travis Paterson News staff
No one in Greater Victoria needs convincing – the region would love to be the new home of Ironman Canada. That’s been the consensus since Ironman Canada owners, the World Triathlon Corporation, included Victoria on a list of desired destinations for 2013. Granted, it means putting aside the obvious commitments needed to host a race of Ironman’s magnitude. “We let WTC know we’re very interested, whether or not we can meet the conditions for the Sept. 24 deadline,” said Hugh MacDonald of SportHost Victoria. “With such a short timeline there is little we can do but submit a proposal of the route, and local interest to make it work.” The world famous long distance triathlon was bumped by Penticton in August, after 30 years, and MacDonald, with help from the Victoria triathlon community, is hoping to beat out Whistler, Vernon, Kelowna, Calgary and other cities that plan to meet the WTC’s proposal deadline of Sept. 24. MacDonald is spearheading the cause, and has brought plenty of world-class events to Victoria. With Monday as the proposal deadline, however, there is little more MacDonald can do but gather a lot of handshake agreements from the necessary stakeholders who agree in principle that they will support the race. “The route is multi-munici-

Tisseyre says Ironman is the next step for Victoria’s triathlon scene. pal, and it’s critical to have the municipalities on side,” he said. A lot of factors come into play, from the nitty gritty of who will pay for police and approve road closures, to whether the picturesque stretch of Dallas Road and the Inner Harbour can be factored into the race. There’s also an Ironman expo on the Saturday needing 15,000 squarefeet, and a banquet for 2,000 that night. Those would have to be downtown, which is where most of the accommodation would be for the expected 2,500 athletes, plus family, coaches and friends who come with them. An ideal route for Ironman Canada would likely start with the 3.8 kilometre open water swim in Elk Lake, a 90km bike loop (done twice) through Saanich, the Highlands, Central Saan-
ich, North Saanich, and Sidney, and a 42km run ending at Victoria’s Inner Harbour. Quebec-raised triathlete Magali Tisseyre, a top-ranked pro, just moved back to Saanich, where she previously lived for a year and half. Last month Tisseyre won the half Ironman at the first Ironman Mont-Tremblant and, as a native of Montreal, she’s seen the impact Ironman is having on Mont-Tremblant. “They don’t know much about triathlon out there, but as soon as Ironman came to Mont-Tremblant, all of a sudden there was a whole new potential for tourism in the summer,” said the 30-yearold. Mont-Tremblant is committed to being a permanent training location and has repaved 70 per cent of the road course, she added. Tisseyre was seventh at the world half Ironman championships last month and is nearly ready to do her first full Ironman race, with many more to come. “Having Ironman would put Victoria on the international map and open it up to the world.” One question that still looms is why Penticton chose to walk away from Ironman after 30 years and welcome Challenge Penticton instead, for 2013. Managing director Steve Meckfessel of WTC said meetings with Penticton happened as late as the week of the Aug. 26 race, and that WTC believes it’s not asking for too much from the host municipalities. “The model that was in Penticton and the model in which we operate is similar and has proven to serve the athletes and host cities well, it’s proven successful,” Meckfessel said. WTC plans to announce the new host by Oct. 13. sports@vicnews.com
O’Byrne aboard with Grizzlies Charla Huber News staff
When one door closes (temporarily), another opens. Ryan O'Byrne, Colorado Avalanche defenseman has returned to his native Victoria and will spend his time during the NHL lockout as an assistant coach on the Victoria Grizzlies. Head coach and general manager Bill Bestwick introduced O'Byrne as the team’s newest member on Wednesday. “O’Byrne is a great role model for our community,” Bestwick said. “He will inspire these guys.” The deal was made possible due to a quibble between the NHL owners and NHL Players Pssociation, of which O’Byrne is the team rep for Colorado. In 2003, O’Byrne was traded from the Salsa (Grizzlies) to the Nanaimo Clippers, where he played briefly for Bestwick before attending Cornell (NCAA). O'Byrne will not be paid by the Grizz, rather, the team will donate money to the Ryan O'Byrne Youth Sports Society. “Obviously the lockout is unfortunate, but this lets me give back to the community,” O'Byrne said. The Grizz are on a three-game road trip through Surrey, Chilliwack and Coquitlam this weekend. sports@vicnews.com

NHL player Ryan O’Byrne is already on the Grizzlies players advisory board and will now be on the bench until the NHL resumes play.

There aren’t many electric vehicles on the road yet, but seven new charging stations are slated for installation in city parkades by next spring. Charging a vehicle at one of the stations will take between three and eight hours. There will be no cost for the electricity over and above the standard parking rates. At this early stage, Victoria Coun. Geoff Young doesn’t have a problem with giving the industry a bit of a kickstart. “These things are still pretty marginal economically,” he said.
When electric vehicles become more common, however, he said the city will need to start charging for power. The City of Victoria has budgeted approximately $20,000 for the installation of 10 charging stations, including three stations for use by its own fleet. The province has pledged $2.74 million, or up to 75 per cent of the capital installation cost, through its Community Infrastructure Fund. “This is really all about making sustainable transportation options easier for residents, businesses and visitors to Victoria,” Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin said. rholmen@vicnews.com
Europe’s Beauty Secret Clinically Proven!
Big lotto win for Victoria buddies
Fewer lines and wrinkles, thicker hair, stronger nails and denser bones.
Collagen is the key. Molecular biologists have pinpointed the key structural protein for creating smooth skin, thick strong hair, and strong nails. It’s your body’s beauty protein, collagen. During youth, you have a rich abundance of collagen. In addition, the collagen forms itself in a resilient “tight mesh” matrix. This “ideal” collagen condition prevents wrinkles from forming, gives skin elasticity, helps create thick, beautiful hair and strong nails. But over the years, collagen diminishes.
Starting at age 21, collagen diminishes by 1% per year. By age 30, signs of reduced collagen on skin, hair and nails become visible, not to mention the increase risk of fracture for bones. Say the words “healthy bones,” and the first word that probably pops up is calcium, but did you know that bones are made up of 30% collagen? Collagen provides strength and flexibility to bones. When collagen diminishes – your risk of fracture increases! Now, genuine collagen regeneration is possible with clinically proven BioSil™. BioSil, a patented cholinestabilized orthosilicic acid (ch-OSA®) complex, helps your body to generate its own collagen to provide support for denser and more flexible bones as well as beautiful skin, hair and nails. BioSil has been tested in rigorous double-blind placebo controlled trials for both efficacy and safety.
Regenerate Collagen with BioSil, the only clinically proven product with ch-OSA – the most absorbable form of silicon.
Fuller, thicker hair… One supplement I have discovered
recently and fell in love with is Biosil. I can safely say that this stuff made a huge difference in my hair…Whatever grew was fuller, thicker…I noticed a dramatic improvement in not only the quality of the new hair growth but the rate at which it was growing… Beauty Blogger Ellie S.

After 28 years buying lottery tickets together, longtime Victoria friends Jimmy Sivertson and John Boyd finally got their lucky break. The pair will share a $2-million prize after winning the BC49 jackpot on Sept. 8. Boyd purchased the ticket at Haultain Grocery. The men have worked together at the Victoria shipyards for 20 years. The B.C. Lottery Corporation stated that Sivertson plans to buy a new boat and share his half of the prize with his family. “I’m thinking about going to test drive a new hot rod and maybe we’ll take a family trip,” Boyd said. There was no word on whether either man plans to quit their job. rholmen@vicnews.com
