To market, to market After a long delay, the much-anticipated Victoria Public Market prepares for its grand opening this weekend in The Hudson

T

he end of summer usually marks the end of one of Victoria’s favourite pastimes: the farmers’ market.

But as of this weekend, conscientious shoppers will be able to satisfy their “shop local” itch yearround at the Victoria Public Market at The Hudson, an indoor market in the basement of the iconic Hudson building on Douglas Daniel Palmer Street.

Reporting “We’re still working on a green grocer and talking to a few interested butchers, but we’ve got an amazing list of vendors,” said market general manager Maryanne Carmack.

One of those vendors is The French Oven, run by Nick Castro and Sandra Van Vliet. The couple began selling their traditional French pastries at farmers’ markets around the Capital Region this past summer, and are making their first brick-andmortar leap into The Hudson this weekend.

Foodies well-versed in Vancouver’s culinary scene will be pleased to see the addition of Vij’s Sutra, an Indian fusion vendor offering mostly takeaway products from the renowned Vij’s Restaurant.

“We’ll also do a small, hot rotating menu,” said Mike Bernardo, Vij’s operations director. “We have a chicken and chickpea curry, navy bean and

The market opens for business on Saturday (Sept. 14), and permanent merchants are putting on the finishing touches. kale curry … and of course, our housemade chai and our famous ginger lemon drink.”

At the market’s grand opening Saturday (Sept. 14), Vij’s owner Vikram Vij will be one of several chefs showcasing their culinary expertise in the community kitchen, a rentable space created with a grant from VanCity.

“There are a limited number of kitchens available for rent on the Island, so we really wanted to offer a facility where people can do canning, bread making – any food production,” Carmack said.

“We’ll also be introducing kids’ programming once we get up and going.”

The public market was originally slated to open last spring, but construction delays and a lack of suitable vendors pushed the date to this fall, Carmack said.

Confirmed vendors include Silk Road Tea, Salt Spring Island Cheese, LaCocina de Mama Oli, Island Spice Trade, Roast and Victoria Pie Co. The grand opening kicks off at 10 a.m. on Saturday and includes musical acts, kids’ activities and a Lifecycles gardening information station.

Code of conduct splits councillors

Technician Peter Milne prepares the ROPOS remotely operated vehicle aboard the R/V Falkor at Ogden Point on Thursday.

UVic’s Ocean Networks Canada is conducting a month of offshore scientific research using the Falkor, a research ship funded by the Schmidt Ocean Institute, a nonprofit created by Eric Schmidt, executive chairman of Google, and his wife, Wendy.

Proposed document would affect city council and committees Daniel Palmer News staff

Edward Hill/News staff

Ocean research enhanced Google executive’s foundation funds UVic project Edward Hill News staff

Not long after Eric Schmidt spent $60 million outfitting a ship with the latest high-tech gear for marine science, Ocean Networks Canada fell onto his radar. Perhaps the executive chairman of Google googled the University of Victoria’s research agency.

Two years later, an 18-person scientific team from ONC has set sail from Ogden Point on the R/V Falkor to study low oxygen zones in the Saanich Inlet and the Salish Sea. The ship time is funded entirely by Schmidt’s foundation, the Schmidt Ocean Institute.

“This is a unique opportunity. Most research vessels are linked with universities or governments,” says Richard Dewey, assistant director, science with Ocean Networks Canada. “This foundation has an open mandate ... this ship gives us free run to direct the science and do what we want to do.”

For the next two weeks, ONC scientists will explore the ecosystems of naturally occurring low oxygen zones in the Saanich Inlet as part of a broader study to understand how low-oxygen water flows from the deep Pacific Ocean into the seas surrounding southern Vancouver Island.

Among other tools, they’ll be employing ROPOS, a high-tech ga

remotely operated vehicle, a kind of underwater robot, created by Canadian Scientific Submersible Facility based in North Saanich.

Research teams from UVic and other Canadian universities will use multiple high-resolution video cameras on the boxy yellow machine to take a fine-grain look at how life survives in the inlet. “(We) will do two dives with ROPOS to explore cliff walls some 200 metres in depth, looking at organisms in low oxygen waters,” said Kim Juniper, science director of ONC. “We want to capture the biodiversity between high oxygen and low oxygen zones.”

The Falkor is an 83-metre former German fishing boat refitted with modern laboratories, advanced sonar mapping capabilities, polished lounges, and a giant QR code on the side of a lifeboat box that link’s to the Schmidt Ocean Institute website.

Jackson Chu, a UVic PhD student in marine biology and a veteran of offshore research, plans to study fish species that thrive in low oxygen ocean water. Unlike everything else on the ship, catching fish remains low-tech – he plans to use a small net.

“This is pretty awesome. It’s the nicest most luxurious ship I’ve seen,” Chu said. “It’s very technically advanced with all its integrated systems.”

Two years ago, Schmidt Ocean Institute approached ONC and suggested it submit a research proposal.

“They were looking for something to do with this vessel,” Juniper said.

“I’m told Eric Schmidt went online and said ‘These people look interest-

ing. Go see them.’”

Victor Zykov, director of research for Schmidt Ocean Institute, said ONC caught the institute’s attention due to its Neptune and Venus underwater observatories.

Neptune’s 800 kilometre loop of instruments monitors the Pacific Ocean off southern Vancouver Island, and Venus has 40 km of cable in the Strait of Georgia. Both feed near-real time oceanographic data through the Internet, free and open to anyone. The information is used to study everything from whales to tectonic plates. “(Neptune and Venus) were very attractive to us for the example of effectively using technology, and engaging the global community of why the oceans are so important,” Zykov said.

Schmidt Ocean Institute pays the cost of operating the ship, about $60,000 per day using the ROPOS system, and $40,000 per day for the mapping surveys.

The basis of OCN’s project is to understand how water low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide (i.e. acidic water) migrates from the deep Pacific Ocean to the continental shelf, into the Strait of Juan de Fuca and beyond, a phenomenon which can stress and kill fish and shellfish.

Juniper hopes this project will allow OCN to create tools to forecast the movement and inflow of low oxygen water around Vancouver Island.

A proposed code of conduct for council at the City of Victoria is too broad and nearly impossible to observe, says B.C.’s civil liberties watchdog.

In a letter to council, the B.C. Civil Liberties Association said it sees “significant problems” with the code that could stifle debate at council, standing committees and public advisory committees.

“There is concern this will chill democratic process and the free speech obligations of council,” said association policy director Micheal Vonn.

One problematic section, she said, restricts councillors from casting “aspersions” if they disagree with a council process. Another lists sanction options like censure and the denial of public resources if councilLisa Helps lors fail to respect colleagues.

“We appreciate getting the wording right is very tricky, but when (councillors) have obligations – that are backed by punishment – to do things like not offend anyone’s self-esteem, you’re in an arena in which, simply put, is too vague,” Vonn said.

Mayor Dean Fortin, who proposed the code, said he’s merely following through with recommendations from both a 2009 governance review and a 2011 consultant’s report, despite the fact that individual council behaviour is already governed by both the Local Government Act and community charter.

“Respectfully, I disagree (with BCCLA) in that there’s nothing about the code that restricts democratic debate,” he said. “It merely asks you to turn your mind to how you say it. I don’t think insults, intimidation and bullying further democratic debate.”

Fortin was unable to reference specific instances of intimidation, but said the code is a proactive measure to increase transparency and clarity at the council table.

A majority of councillors last week supported moving forward with developing a code of conduct policy, with Geoff Young, Ben Isitt and Lisa Helps opposed.

“There are a lot of strong personalities around the (council) table, and we were all elected because we have strong views and personalities,” Helps said. “My fear is we’re going to spend a whole bunch of time working on this policy ... If anyone disagrees with the process or a decision, we should be able to speak freely about it. It’s our responsibility to do so.”

Fortin said the code is subject to council debate as part of the city’s larger governance review. Vancouver and other B.C. municipalities – none in the Capital Region – have also implemented conduct guidelines for councillors.

“In any environment, there are always two sides: one is task and the other is process,” he said. “Being able to deal with the issues of process allows you to accomplish your tasks more quickly and more efficiently. You can’t ignore one without the other.”

Navy supply ship damage ‘cosmetic’: Commander Daniel Palmer News staff

One of two Canadian Navy ships involved in a collision at sea will be back on the waters as early as this week, according to the Pacific fleet’s top officer.

On Aug. 30, HMCS Algonquin, an Iroquois-class destroyer, was hit on its port side by the bow of HMCS Protecteur, the navy’s only Pacific supply ship. The mishap occurred during an exercise while the ships were en route to Hawaii. There were no reported injuries from the collision.

Protecteur’s repairs were cosmetic,” said Commodore Bob Auchterlonie, commander of Canadian Fleet Pacific. “Repairs are actually complete now and she’ll be underway as early as (this) week continuing with Nominations_AD2_film4:Layout 1 the crew training she was already

doing when the incident occurred.”

Algonquin, which sustained heavy damage to its port side hangar, will require extensive repairs, but the scope of the damage has not yet been determined, Auchterlonie said.

“It’s still too early to speculate on (Algonquin’s) return date to sea.”

Auchterlonie couldn’t recall a similar incident occurring in his 27 years with the Canadian Navy, but stressed the manoeuvres which caused the ships to collide are a routine exercise.

“It’s clear something went terribly wrong,” he said. “The board of inquiry will look at the full range of factors and causes (in the coming months).”

Both ships were deploying together to the Asia Pacific region at the time4:36 of thePM collision.

Make no mistake: Ribbing is serious business.

While rib festivals have become mainstay summer attractions in Kamloops, cities in southern Ontario and countless U.S. states, Vancouver Islanders haven’t had a chance to experience the smokey barbecue celebration closer to home – until now.

The inaugural Esquimalt Ribfest kicks off at Bullen Field this weekend (Sept. 13 to 15), where ribbers from as far away as Albuquerque, New Mexico will compete for top accolades from an anticipated crowd of 10,000 people.

“This will put Esquimalt on the map,” said Murray Boyce, organizer of the free car show taking place in conjunction with Ribfest. “Next year it will just be so big.”

Cars, Rods & Rides, benefitting the Esquimalt Celebration of Lights, runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. behind Archie Browning Sports Centre on the Saturday (Sept. 14).

Attendees are encouraged to bring an unwrapped toy for CFAX Santas Anonymous.

Across the way, Bullen Field will be

buzzing with live music, a craft beer garden, kids’ zone and even a youth rugby combine, put on by Rugby Canada athletes, during Ribfest.

“We’re hoping to offer sponsorship to national athletes out of this and help support the Esquimalt High rugby academy (opening) next year,” says Teresa Mitrou, who along with local firefighter Tom Woods is organizing Ribfest.

Independent of Ribfest and other charity fundraising efforts, the weekend in Esquimalt also includes a concert by classic rock bands Bad Company and Chilliwack, who will light up Bullen Field on Sunday night (Tickets start at $79.50).

“It’s a great capstone to the weekend,” Mitrou says.

Boyce and Mitrou warn that parking will be tight all weekend. They encourage attendees to walk, cycle or take the bus.

Ribfest runs Friday and Saturday, noon to 10 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Victoria Police Department forensic officers work the scene at the corner of Bay and Pleasant streets in Victoria’s Rock Bay neighbourhood last Wednesday, investigating a report of a sexual assault.

VicPD still seeking sex assault suspect The Victoria Police Department is releasing new details on a sexual assault that occurred early Wednesday morning near the Bay Street Bridge.

Police say the victim, who was attacked near the intersection of Bay and Pleasant streets around 5 a.m., did not know the suspect.

“There is no information at this time to suggest that the suspect and victim knew each other or had any communication prior to the attack, or that the attack is related to the sex trade,” said VicPD Const.

Mike Russell.

The suspect is still at large, and is described as a Caucasian man between 30 to 40 years old, 5-foot-10 to 6-feet tall, with a closely shaved head and grey hair. He was wearing a black T-shirt and black pants.

Police are investigating several people of interest, but have not yet identified a suspect in the case, Russell said.

Detectives are asking anyone with information to contact the VicPD Detective tip line at 250-995-7444 or report anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). dpalmer@vicnews.com

Esquimalt council Camosun grad finalist in chip-naming contest considers lower Rockheights speed Earlier traffic changes may be partly to blame: Mayor Don Descoteau News staff

A gradual increase in afternoon rush-hour traffic along a residential street in Esquimalt has residents calling for a lower posted speed limit and more enforcement.

Neighbours in the 800-block of Rockheights Ave. wrote to council this summer with concerns about safety on the street, which includes a blind curve and a steep downhill grade toward Lampson Street.

“We’ve almost become a thoroughfare,” said resident Kathryn Bussanich, who lives at the crest of the hill on the northwest side. “Why are we set at 50 (km/h) when all the streets around us, like Colville (Road) and Lampson, are 40 and 30?”

After 4 p.m., when the amount of traffic rises significantly, some vehicles reach speeds upwards of 60 km/h on the downward slope, she said. That leads her to worry about the safety of children on the street, as well as residents backing out of driveways blind to drivers heading down the hill. The street is also a walking path for students from both Rockheights middle school and Esquimalt High.

The matter came before council on Monday night. A staff report on the issue recommends the speed limit be changed to 30 km/h for the length of Rockheights Avenue, from Lampson to Old Esquimalt Road.

Reasons for drivers to use Rockheights as a cutthrough route may not be quickly apparent when looking at a map. Mayor Barb Desjardins pointed to traffic calming changes to Old Esquimalt Road as one of the reasons. Staff were directed to look at various options, including a stop light at Lampson – a pedestrian-controlled light already exists on Lampson a few feet from the corner – and speed humps. The end goal is to reduce speeds on Rockheights, she said.

“With kids going back to school, we felt we really needed to get this done as quickly as possible,” said Desjardins, who has spoken with VicPD Insp.

Keith Lindner about enforcement.

Bussanich’s husband, Derek, foresees a potential domino effect happening.

“If we get the limit reduced, maybe we can get the speed enforced, and it might reduce the volume if (drivers) can’t go as fast,” he said.

Council was expected to make a decision Monday night, past The News’ deadline. ddescoteau@vicnews.com

S A VOY A

NOW SHOWING

A Victoria-raised woman is letting all of Canada be the judge of her culinary creation.

Jill Munro is one of four finalists in the Lays Do Us A Flavour contest, where Canadians were asked to submit their creative ideas for a new potato chip flavour. Munro, a St. Michael’s University School and Camosun College graduate, came up with Creamy Garlic Caesar while bedridden following a debilitating snowboarding accident two years ago.

“I submitted something about about how caesar is the king of salads. If you have the choice at a restaurant, you always upgrade to caesar.”

Should she get the most online votes before Oct. 16, she’ll win $50,000 and get one per cent of her chip sales for life. Munro says she would fix up her aging car and donate some of the cash to spinal cord research teams at Vancouver General Hospital and the University of B.C. “It would be a great way to give something back.

I got so lucky,” she says. To view the finalists, visit lays.ca/flavour. dpalmer@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW

Code of conduct already in place The City of Victoria’s proposed Code of Conduct for councillors, which would extend to advisory committees made up mainly of public citizens, has been criticized as being too broad and a threat to open, honest debate.

While the Creating policy installation of a code was for behaviour sets such recommended during bad precedent past reviews of the city’s operations, there are already guidelines in place to cover off such things as maintaining decorum, showing respect to others and the process of civic government.

Roberts Rules of Order, the B.C. Community Charter, and even to a degree, the Local Government Act already give members of publicly elected bodies an outline for keeping things moving in a respectful way.

While Vancouver and other jurisdictions in B.C. have put similar codes in place, councils around the Capital Region seem to be getting along fine without one, relying instead on common sense and the tools already in place to handle issues as they arise.

Without a doubt other councils will be watching closely what happens in Victoria.

We wonder whether this move is driven by a need to follow recommendations made by outside agencies, as Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin indicates, or intolerance for a fellow councillor’s way of operating at the council table. Regardless, the city can scarcely afford to spend time and funds on creating a program when it has more pressing matters on its plate.

The chair of any meeting is expected to keep things on track and call others out if they stray outside the bounds of proper behaviour.

In this case, Mayor Fortin would be advised to use the tools at his disposal. If there are continuing problems with decorum or appropriate behaviour, he has every right to use his position to take corrective action.

At the very least, a serious conversation between the mayor and any offending individual would go further than a needless policy.

LETTERS Sustainability remains top priority for City of Victoria Re: City axes sustainability department (News, Aug. 30) I believe this article gives the wrong impression.

It is important for readers to know that sustainability remains extremely important to the City of Victoria and will continue to be a guiding principal within our organization.

The City recognized, much like North Vancouver, that it needed to approach sustainability in a more

holistic, systematic and robust way in its own operations.

Building on the foundations laid by the sustainability department, sustainability functions have been integrated into the fabric of our operations, where it can optimally inform planning, decisions and policy.

In recognition of this change, the City’s planning and development department has been renamed the department of sustainable planning

and community development.

As reporter Daniel Palmer noted, the mandate of the former sustainability department is already entrenched in many municipal decisions, thanks in part to our recently updated Official Community Plan.

We will continue to work towards increasing alternative modes of transportation, affordable housing, community gardens and other sustainable initiatives.

The City of Victoria did make a substantive change to the structure of the organization in order to meet our commitment to limit tax increases to 3.25 per cent.

We have eliminated an entire level of senior management and reduced the management reporting structure.

As a result all directors will report to the city manager.

Mayor Dean Fortin City of Victoria

Readers respond: Home ownership, walkable cities, Pioneer Square, PEERS Home ownership problem self-created Re: Out of Reach (News, Aug. 14) Is home ownership really a desirable or a good thing? Years ago I gave up the prospect of ever owning a house due to the disproportionate yearly increases in values compared to stagnant income; inflation was just making it impossible.

We live in a culture that purports that home ownership is the goal of the upwardly mobile, but when you add up the costs, is it? I see home ownership as a cult. Taxes, maintenance and high monthly payments leave little for other necessities like simply enjoying life, eating well and having a peaceful, less stressful life.

When I realized I had no hope of home ownership it was like a huge weight had been removed from my shoulders.

I don’t need a house, as I have no children and don’t need a lot of space.

Yet renters (who constitute about 60 per cent of the population in Victoria) need more protection from unscrupulous landlords.

Shelter in our society should be a right, not a privilege. A content and healthy society needs the base that shelter provides, but if wages don’t keep pace with

inflation, renters and homeowners alike will continue to feel the economic pinch.

Who wants the stress of being a slave to their mortgage?

It’s time those who make the rules realize that higher wages will provide more money in general to circulate and that can only help the economy and people’s wellbeing.

Roadways and sidewalks also used for recreation Re: Rec opportunities abound in Saanich (Frank Leonard, vicnews.com) Saanich has made some great progress with recreation facilities and getting people active, but the largest recreation facility has been overlooked in this article.The roads and sidewalks throughout the region are used by walkers, runners and cyclists for recreation in numbers that dwarf the patrons using indoor facilities.

Mr. Leonard recognizes dedicated facilities such as the Lochside Trail, which are excellent, but these only represent a fraction of users. Of course, the same sidewalks and roadways used

for recreation double as facilities for active transportation and are critical to the development of a livable community.

Greg Miller Oak Bay

Cemetery restoration poor use of city funds Re: City to revive pioneer history (News, Sept. 6) When I read that the City of Victoria was planning to spend $700,000 on Pioneer Square next to Christ Church Cathedral, I was really shocked.

When I think of the city’s fiscal struggle and the pressing needs of the homeless and others, such a diversion of precious cash seems almost criminal.

I think that the “rogue” city parks manager, in 1908, did the right thing when he consolidated displaced gravestones in one place.

Let the actual corpses rot in peace!

To offer some perspective, where is the memorial to the First Nations people that these “pioneers” displaced?

I think that there are better ways to remember our history.

Robert McInnes Victoria

Closure of PEERS programs shows skewed priorities Re: PEERS loses drop-in centre (News, Sept. 4) I am appalled. Once again the powers that be choose to cut funding from a proactive group that supports people at risk to lead healthier and more stable lives.

There always seems to be more money for policing. Why not supportive housing, which is much more affordable in the end?

“When someone faces the most frightening diagnosis imaginable, it means so much to know hope is there and that you are not alone,” said Wendy Toyer, executive director of ALS Society of BC & Yukon.

a

fter only two years on the street, the Victoria Chalk Art Festival is already the largest festival of its kind in Canada.

The festival is growing by leaps and bounds this year, with almost 30 local artists and 16 international artists participating.

This year, the festival has a theme, focusing on celebrating the art and culture of B.C.’s First Nations.

Even the international artists have taken on the challenge.

This year’s feature artist is Leon Keer of the Netherlands. He begins working on a 20-by20-foot 3D chalk painting on the lower level of The Bay Centre Wednesday morning.

“He’s doing a salute to B.C. First Nations as well,” says Chalk Fest executive director John Vickers.

“In the design you will see a Monopoly game as the border of the painting. The streets are replaced by B.C. locations which carry First Nation names. From out of the middle you will not only see some beautiful trees arise from the depths, but also the Industry that is present. It is a kind of metaphor for the struggle and sacrifice which the First Nations have to make to be able to move forward and live in harmony with everybody who is present nowadays in their habitat,” Keer writes by email.

Keer will work on his painting in Zone 3 (Bay Centre) from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. His anamorphic art will be finished by the end of the weekend and will remain on display until Sept. 30.

Government Street (Zone 2) will be closed

from Fort to Yates streets from 4 a.m.

Saturday to 9 p.m. Sunday. More than 30 local artists, some of whom are trying chalk art for the first time, will each get 8-by-10-foot “canvases” to work on right on the street.

Artists will be finished painting by 6 p.m., leaving three hours for people to come down and view the finished products before the street reopens to vehicles.

Centennial Square (Zone 1) will be open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Sunday with international artists live painting in the square, accompanied by entertainment from First Nations dancers, singers and drummers, and other local musicians, beginning each day at noon. Centennial Square is also home to the kids zone where children have access to thousands of pieces of chalk to design their own street art masterpieces, food vendors and an artisans’ marketplace.

As a special treat, Kurt Wenner, an internationally acclaimed chalk artist who founded anamorphic or 3D chalk art will be on hand Saturday in Zone 2 at Munro’s Books (1180 Government) from 2-3 p.m., where he’ll be signing copies of his book Asphalt Renaissance — a sure sign that Victoria is now on the international chalk art map.

Vista, California’s Lori Escalara, who is a featured artist at this year’s festival is also hosting a tutorial Thursday, Sept. 12 at 7 p.m. at the Delta Ocean Pointe. Any local artists who want to try their hands at creating chalk art during the festival can register for the workshop at victoriachalkfestival.com.

For complete event listings, pick up a copy of the Victoria International Chalk Art Festival program at the information kiosk at The Bay Centre and check out victoriachalkfestival. com.

Hospitality industry helping colleagues Kyle Wells News staff

A golf tournament being held at Bear Mountain Sept. 16 will raise money for those who so often lend a hand to others.

The B.C. Hospitality Foundation is hosting the inaugural Memorial Golf Tournament, in support of people in the industry who fall into financial difficulties, usually as a result of health issues.

“It’s really the only charity that helps people in our own industry,” said golf committee chair Nathan Pearce. “We do a lot in our communities for other people. We’re always putting out, doing things for these other charities, but in our industry we don’t do a lot for ourselves.”

Pearce, director of food and beverage at the Fairmont Empress Hotel, said people working in the industry often aren’t properly insured or don’t have full benefits.

Since 2007 the organization has provided about $250,000 in support for more than 40 people on Vancouver Island, including people in Victoria.

Recently the foundation helped out Driftwood Brewery head brewer Tim Fukushima with a cheque for $3,000, after he was diagnosed with leukemia in February. Sara Craig, a chef at the Harbour Towers Hotel and Suites, was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in 2011 and received about $13,000 in aid. All funds given by the foundation match money earned through fundraising by the individual or the business where they work.

Online registration for the golf ends Sept. 15.

Cost is $145 each or $499 for four. Sign up or find more information at bchospitalityfoundation.com. ! kwells@goldstreamgazette.com LD SO

Every drop of donated blood counts in helping save the lives of others.

This September all donors will be pinned with a little gold ribbon when they give the selfless gift of blood. The Gold Ribbon Campaign is a part of Child Cancer Awareness month.

“One cancer patient needs eight units of blood each week of treatment,” said Catherine Sloot, partnership specialist with Canadian Blood Services.

“So it takes eight people to support one cancer patient for that week.”

This is the second year Canadian Blood Services is partnering with the Gold Ribbon Campaign to draw in more blood donors while honouring children living with cancer and remembering those who have died.

“Often people think people needing blood are people who have been in accidents or operations, but people don’t connect the need for blood to support cancer patients,” Sloot said. “We want to encourage people to help support people with cancer, especially children.”

This past summer, as is the case most summers, Canadian Blood Services’ inventory dropped and there was call out for donations.

“No one was going without blood, but there may have been a delay even if it was a matter of hours,” said Sloot. The drop in blood donations usually stems from regular donors going on vacation and being out of their regular routine.

“Donating blood is a way to give back to the community. You can share vitality with someone you will probably never meet,” Sloot said.

Cameron Lyle, 53, holds a gold ribbon after giving his 119th donation recently at the Canadian Blood Services clinic in Saanich. Lyle gave his first donation of blood when he was 20.

With summer winding down, donation rates have begun to rise again, but Sloot said there is always a need for more blood.

Canadian Blood Services is setting up blood bank programs at local high schools for Grade 12 students, and at the region’s universities and colleges.

“We are very mindful to get the young donors,” said Sloot.

“We’ve found that people who have given 100, 200 and 400 donations all started when they were young.”

Sloot gave her first donation in her early 20s when she saw

a blood drive in a Halifax mall.

Now she donates whenever she can and spends her time encouraging others to do so as well.

Rock’n the memories Travis Paterson

League’s Champions Cup in 2012 and 2013, with the back-to-back NLL champion Rochester Knighthawks.

Jamieson picked up three assists in Game 1 and three more assists and two goals in Game 2.

“I’m glad the Mann Cup is a seven game series. It’s a championship atmosphere out there with the fan support. Although, I like it better when we have the lead and (the fans are) nice and quiet.”

Jamieson is part of a contingent of Rochester Knighthawks players on both teams, along with Vinc.

“Vinc is an all-world goalie and he didn’t give that title to himself,” said Jamieson.

“Credit to Vinc, he was awesome, hopefully we can put more past him.”

Chiefs coach Rich Kilgour said the Shamrocks’ speedy transition is as fast as any they’ve seen this year but not enough that the Chiefs can’t adjust. “(Game 1) they only got five goals so it’s not like they’re killing us in transition. We just have to play our game,” Kilgour said.

News staff

Jesse King will be watching Game 5 of the Mann Cup national lacrosse championship tonight via webcast, likely in a low-lit apartment somewhere near his Ohio State Buckeyes’campus.

Face off is 7 p.m. at Bear Mountain Arena.

It’s been two Mann Cup games since King flew the coup for his fourth year with the Buckeyes field lacrosse team. And it’s been three games since the 21-year-old call-up brought victory to the Victoria Shamrocks with his natural hat trick in less then five minutes of the third period.

As of Monday the Shamrocks and Six Nations Chiefs were tied 1-1. For updates on Games 3 and 4 from Monday and Tuesday, respectively, visit vicnews.com.

King was named the Shamrocks player of the game while Cody Jamieson, who might be the biggest biggame player going in lacrosse today, took that honour for the Chiefs.

“It’s a dream come true. All I can say is I’m happy I got to play in the Mann Cup,” said King of contributing to the Shamrocks’ 5-4 win on Friday.

The Chiefs out-dueled the Rocks 10-8 to even the series on Saturday night at one win apiece.

“I never played at a level like this, never had a sniff of the (junior A national championship) Minto Cup, and now I’m playing for the Mann Cup. I have to thank the Shamrocks, hopefully I can stay here the rest of my life.”

King made memories with his game winner on Friday, which came with 10 minutes left. Cory Conway passed it to King who headed for the net and scored on an over-theshoulder, behind-the-back shot which beat Chiefs goalie Evan Kirk.

Jesse King shoots during Game 2 of the Mann Cup lacrosse championship at Bear Mountain Arena on Saturday. The Shamrocks lost the game 10-8.

“A lot of the time with a crappy angle like that, you just got to get the best shot off. I didn’t score a goal like that my whole junior career, I don’t know why I did that,” King said.

King scored again on Saturday night but his NCAA status limited him to the weekend. On Sunday he returned to the Buckeyes.

King will enter the Western Lacrosse Association draft next February and could end up drafted anywhere.

“King did a phenomenal job,” Shamrocks coach Bob Heyes said. “We made

it (more) exciting (than it needed to be) for that last play of the game. We didn’t play a very good first two periods (Friday), but a good third and once again (goalie) Matt Vinc was great.”

The stands have been packed with over 2,900 fans at each of the first two games alone. It feels like 4,900 when the Shamrocks score.

From the Chiefs end, Cody Jamieson has been the superstar he’s purpoted to be. It’s the first Mann Cup for the playmkaer who was named MVP of the National Lacrosse

Green vs. green The Shamrocks love their green. The Six Nations Chiefs also wear green. Who knew? “(It’s) a little bit difficult with the uniforms, when guys are catching balls in traffic it’s a little tough see who has the ball,” Vinc said.

That’s saying something as Vinc is formerly of the Chiefs.

“I’ve played against (Chiefs attacker) Colin Doyle in the winter but I’ve been on the Chiefs and on Rochester for the last three seasons so I’ve actually never played against Jamieson and some of the other guys. We have to make it tough on them. Doesn’t matter if they know your tendencies, they’ve all scored before and will continue to do so.” sports@vicnews.com

Reynolds grad at wrestling worlds Travis Paterson News staff

This week’s vote to keep wrestling in the 2020 Summer Games in Tokyo, Japan is good news for wrestlers world-wide.

Saanich wrestling product Stacie Anaka is among that group. This week she’s in Hungary for the 2013 World Wrestling Championships in Budapest, Sept. 16 to 22.

Anaka, 26, is on an upward trend this season and a spot in the 2016 Olympics is beginning to look realistic. Fellow Canadian Carol Huynh won medals in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, so if Anaka needed it, she has Tokyo as added motiviation.

In April, Anaka won gold in the 67-kilogram class at the Pan American Games in Panama and in July she won bronze at the Universiade world university

games in Kazan. She wasn’t expecting to wrestle at the world championships this month as she was set on competing for Canada at the Francophone world games in Nice, France, Sept. 6 to 15.

She was recently bumped to fourth in the world rankings in her class.

Anaka, a former Reynolds and Victoria Bulldogs member, will compete in the worlds on Friday, Sept. 20. sports@vicnews.com

Ryder Hesjedal during Stage 2 of the 2013 Tour of Alberta from Devon to Red Deer.

Hesjedal up front at Tour of Alberta Travis Paterson News staff

Victoria’s hero of road cycling, Ryder Hesjedal, was in high demand during the inaugural Tour of Alberta, Sept. 3 to 8.

Hesjedal was the face of the tour before it started and was back in the spotlight for his finish line gaffe on Stage 1 on Sept. 4.

Though he was unable to fulfill Canadian hopes of winning the five-stage (plus prologue), 843-kilometre race, his team Garmin-Sharp was able to celebrate the win as Australian teammate Rohan Dennis took first in the general classification.

Stage 1, which originated in Strathcona County (Edmonton), finished with three four-kilometre laps of Camrose. Hesjedal was leading the stage and celebrated the win prematurely as he thought he was done one lap too soon. He was caught and finished with the peloton instead.

“It’s just a bike race and you move on,” said Hesjedal, shrugging it off during a media scrum after Stage 2 on Thursday.

Regardless of the incident, the 2012 Giro d’Italia winner was a contributor to Garmin-Sharp’s overall success helping Dennis win. Hejsedal ended the tour 60th overall, 18 minutes and 39 seconds back of GC winner Dennis, who completed it in 17 hours, 48 minutes and 40 seconds.

“This race has been on the schedule for a while, everyone was wondering what it was going to be like. It’s a new event and it’s what we’re used to, big time bike racing,” Hesjedal said.

“It’s got lots of support and I’m sure we’ll see it on the calendar for a while.”

Giving the Tour of Alberta a shot in the arm was the challenge of Peter Sagan, as the 23-yearold sprinting sensation and multiple Tour de France stage-winner was in the hunt for first in the GC by winning the opening 7.8 km prologue, an individual time trial, as well as Stages 1 and 5.

He also placed third on Stage 2.

But Garmin was able to capitalize on Sagan’s lack of teammates from Cannondale Pro Cycling.

“It’s strength in numbers and Garmin (had) more riders than (Sagan’s) team,” Hesjedal said.

The 2011 Tour de France winner Cadel Evans, a countryman of Dennis, won Stage 4.

Hesjedal returns to the Island for the 2013 Tour de Victoria, Sept. 22. sports@vicnews.com

Road warrior hits 200,000 km Travis Paterson News staff

Ken Bonner might be Victoria’s preeminent cyclist.

Not in terms of races, but in terms of distance.

At the beginning of August Bonner, 70, hit a lifetime achievement by clocking kilometre number 200,000 on his cycling odometer. That’s 200,000 just for brevets, mind you, and it came at the end of the 1,200 km LondonEdinburgh-London brevet.

Brevets, or randonneurs, are cycling marathons ranging from 300 to 1,200 km, and happen mostly in North America and Europe. The Oak Bay resident is addicted to them.

“Actually it was 200,015 km after the London-EdinburghLondon,” he said. Since then he has completed the Granite Anvil 1,200 km in Ontario and the number continues to climb as he’s in Colorado today (Sept. 11) for the Colorado Last Chance 1,200 km.

Departure time is 3 a.m. for the last brevet of the season.

Meanwhile his total numbers on the Canadian Kilometre Achiever Program website are 312,439 km. The site is based on the honour system.

also looking to make the GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon his lifetime 172nd marathon, but would like to see everyone ride brevets. And while it might seem like he’s speaking to beginners from a cycling pedastal, it’s worth noting he didn’t do a brevet until 1987, while in his forties.

“Once you’re on a bike, it’s just a matter of tacking on a little more to each week’s ride,” he says. “Cycling is not like running and unlike anything else, as long as you pace yourself you can go a long way. People should know I average as low as 15 km per hour sometimes.”

A quote he heard at the Granite Anvil is sticking with him these days.

“Cycling is 90 per cent mental.

The other 10 per cent, well that’s mental too.”

On the road In 2006, Bonner biked 50,438 km in 12 months, the most recorded by a cyclist in North America that year.

His CKAP number of 312,439 km is the seventh highest among members. He joined in 2002.

The company now employs nearly 800 people.
