Doctor calls on coroner to probe sudden deathSam Van SchieNews staff

An outspoken anesthetist says a lack of staffing could have contributed to the death of a newborn at Victoria General Hospital on Aug. 9.

Sue Ferreira went public with her con-cern over the shortage of anesthetists after she handed in her resignation to Victoria General Hospital in June.

Now in her last week on the job, she says the tragic death could have been avoided if there was a dedicated anesthe-tist in the maternity ward. She’s calling on the B.C. Coroners Service to indepen-dently confirm this.

Vancouver Island Health Authority is bound by patient confidentiality not to publicly release details of the case, but in an email to media, Ferreira said a labour-ing mother required an emergency cesar-ean section at a time when the hospital’s lone anesthetist was occupied with other surgeries. A second anesthetist was called in, but the unborn child was in severe medical distress and died before delivery.

“What we know is that there was a delay in care. What we need to find out is whether that delay was the reason this baby did not survive,” Ferreira wrote.

Island regional coroner Matt Brown said he can’t investigate the case because the child is considered a stillborn.

“If it never took a breath, it’s not a live birth,” Brown said. “If there’s no birth, there’s no death for us to investigate.”

VIHA has initiated its own review, which chief medical officer Dr. Richard Crow said is standard procedure for any unexpected death in the hospital.

Postal delivery times ‘idiocy’: residentDeliveries taking nine to 12 days astound womanErin CardoneNews staff

When her friend failed to call to confirm the lunch date she had set, Muriel Jean Vei-not was confused.

So, on the first day of August, Veinot rang Dorothy Mearns.

“Did you get the invitation?” Veinot asked.

“What invitation?”Veinot was shocked: nearly two weeks

earlier – July 20 – she had popped the lunch invitation into the mail. In fact, she had handed it to a Canada Post worker at a downtown branch, who hand-stamped the letter before Veinot’s eyes.

Turns out, the letter didn’t find its way to Mearns’ mailbox in Esquimalt until Aug. 5 – 12 business days after it was mailed.

“It’s just total idiocy,” Veinot, 86, said. “They’re supposed to be offering a service and I mail a lot of letters.”

Veinot isn’t the only one aghast at Can-ada Post’s delivery times lately. Victoria MP Denise Savoie tracked how long it took for her contacts to receive mail lately.

“I have done a little test myself and I have seen the same results as (Veinot),” she told the News.

By now, any backlog of mail accumulated during the postal strike and lockout of mid-June has been cleared, confirmed Canada Post’s director of communications, Colleen Frick.

The postal service’s delivery standards within Victoria are two days.

“It’s very unfortunate,” Frick said of Vei-not’s experience. “It’s not something we would say is at all within our service com-mitment to our customers.”

She added: “One has to be careful about making general assumptions about a cou-ple of mail items that unfortunately did take longer to arrive than our delivery standard. I say this because we deliver about 200,000 pieces of mail every day in Greater Victoria and we meet our delivery standards on that mail 96 per cent of the time.”

From conversations with Victoria-area

postal workers, she has heard that short-staffing is a major problem. Canada Post denies that, but Savoie believes there’s a bigger factor at play.

“It looks like (the federal government) wants the public to lose confidence in the system, so they can drive them to private courier carriers,” she said.

Whatever the case, Veinot isn’t impressed. The 12-day letter was sent the same day as another, destined for a friend living on Gorge Road. That letter arrived in nine days.

“I could walk to Gorge Road or I could walk to Esquimalt faster than that,” she said.

Testing the systemNews staff mailed six letters to

Greater Victoria addresses on Friday, Aug. 12. Four arrived at their destinations on Tuesday – within the service standard of two days. The others hadn’t arrived by press time.

Deborah Craw, VIA Rail senior

sales agent who has worked for the company 36 years,

20 in Victoria, stands outside the station on Pandora

Avenue.Sharon Tiffin/News staff

Face of downtown VIA station bids tearful adieu after 36 yearsRoszan HolmenNews staff

Deborah Craw remembers her first time view-ing the train station in Victoria.

Craw was used to working in bigger stations in larger cities across Canada, and the size of the little building at the foot of the Johnson Street Bridge took her by surprise.

“I thought it was actually a public washroom.” That was 20 years ago. Craw worked her last

day on the job, as senior agent, on Monday after 36 years of full-time employment with VIA Rail. She spent the day shredding paper and boxing up papers for the archives.

On Aug. 9 she was notified by her employer she was laid off indefinitely as the station would shut down to the public Aug. 12, and permanently on Aug. 15, when the building’s lease with the city expired.

She made an emotional appeal to delay her pre-booked holiday, starting Aug. 11, in order to help close the little building down dur-ing its last days.

“I cried my little eyes out. … We were always prepared for this day, in view of the politics and the number of times the axe has been on my neck … but I just didn’t think it would end quite like this,” she said. “It came rather

abruptly.”Now 54 years old, Craw said she’s had a fabu-

lous career with VIA, working in almost every major city during world-class events such as Expo ’86 in Vancouver, the 1988 Olympics in Cal-gary, and the Commonwealth Games in Victoria in 1992.

“I loved it,” she said. “I was just always in the right place for me at the right time.”

The adjustment to a smaller centre in Victoria came with different benefits.

“I looked at it as a challenge to get people to take the train,” she said, adding she did pre-sentations at seniors centres and schools. “It

was being sort of a chief cook and bottle washer … you’re the face of VIA. You’re the complaint department, the sales depart-ment, you’re everything.”

Since the E&N rail line shut in April due to the poor condition of the track, sales at the station have been “very, very slow,” Craw said. She continued to sell Canada-rail passes and bus tickets up-Island, until VIA rail ended the tempo-rary service Aug. 7.

If the rail line restarts, and the Island Corridor Foundation open a new station, she will consider taking her old job back.

“We’ll see,” she said. “I’m telling myself I’m on vacation.”

[email protected]

Did you know?In late June, the

province contributed $7.5 million to study and improve the E&N line’s tracks. The first step is a

$500,000 engineering inspection of the line’s 48 bridges and trestles. On Aug. 11, the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure closed its bid for the inspection job.

Changes pay tribute to past and present Forces members

Erin McCrackenNews staff

Retired vice-admiral Robert George was still a young officer in 1968 when the Royal Canadian Navy saw the “royal” stripped from its name.

Fast-forward 43 years to CFB Esquimalt on Tuesday where George sat surprised and pleased to learn Canada’s navy – which he commanded before his retirement in 1995 – and air force will have the “royal” reinstated to their names. The army, which has sev-eral “royal” units but has never been called the Royal Canadian Army, will return to its historic name, the Canadian Army.

“I never dreamt that in my wildest dreams we would come back in the last year the way we have, both with the insignia on navy uni-forms and to see the ‘royal’ instituted into the navy,” said George, an Oak Bay resident.

The return to the historic names was done to connect currently serv-ing personnel with past military con-tributions in the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War and early peacekeeping missions.

“The proud legacy of the Royal Canadian Navy, the Royal Canadian Air Force and Canadian Army will once again serve as a timeless link between our veterans and serving sol-diers, sailors and airmen and women,” Julian Fantino, associate minister of National Defence, said during Tues-day’s press conference at the base.

His announcement coincided with the 100th anniversary of a letter written by England’s King George V approving the request for the royal

designation for Canada’s navy.It was a painful blow to sailors and

naval officers when that was taken away.

“We went through the turmoil of integration and unification, the strip-ping away uniforms, the stripping away names,” George recalled.

Reaction to the changes in 1968 was swift, and George watched as several senior colleagues – some who were Second World War veterans – left their careers behind.

“They just couldn’t stomach what was going on,” George said, adding

that he suspects the changes – which included the adop-tion of the same uniform for all three elements – were done for political reasons, but under the guise that the changes would save money.

Since then, generations of sailors have spent their careers never knowing what it meant to serve under the royal banner.

“It’s nice going back to our traditions, but it doesn’t matter to me either way,” said Ordinary Sea-man Dan Hannah, who has been in the navy for nine months, three of them spent at CFB Esquimalt. “It’s the same job for me.”

This time the name change doesn’t coincide with organizational restruc-turing, as it did on Feb. 1, 1968 when the federal government of the day replaced the names of the sea, land and air branches with Maritime Com-mand, Land Force Command and Air Command, and unified them as the Canadian Armed Forces, and later as the Canadian Forces.

As for the cost of the name changes, a price can’t be put on the value of the symbolic gesture, said Fantino, adding that whether the changes will result in updated flag, uniform or insignia designs is not known.

“I think for the most part it’s negli-gible,” Fantino said of the cost.

Come September, when her classes resume at Victoria High, Laticia Davies won’t look at sci-ence the same after what she’s experienced this summer.

“It’s definitely going to be hard going back to labs,” said the 17-year-old, who will soon start Grade 12.

The Victoria resident has been spending July and August conducting supervised cancer research inside the microbiol-ogy lab at the B.C. Cancer Agen-cy’s Deeley Research Centre near Royal Jubilee Hospital.

Davies is the first Victoria High student and 16-year-old Michelle Kim is the first from St. Andrews Regional High in Saanich selected to participate in the competitive high school summer internship research program, which continues until Aug. 26.

Joining them in the labs are Emma Thomson from Oak Bay High and Leah Kelley from Sooke’s Edward Milne commu-nity school. Their participation marks the first time four female students have been chosen to work in the labs together.

Since the program began in 2004, four students, who are either 16 years old or in Grade 11 at the time of their applica-tion, are selected each year to

conduct cancer research inside the centre’s high-tech labs. They must pass exams at the end of the program to receive a $3,000 bursary.

The students provide invalu-able help to researchers, who are studying how the immune system responds to cancer, as well as gain unique insight into a potential career path, said lab co-ordinator Siao Yong, a former researcher who mentored stu-dents.

“I would say this is the best science class (for them) because you gain experience in the lab and you’re learning beyond what you’re doing in the (high school) classroom,” said Yong. “Some of the material is for first- and second-year university stu-dents.”

Thanks to the program Davies feels more passionate about becoming a neurologist one day, she said.

Did you know?Two students, who are either 16 or in Grade 11 at any secondary school on Vancouver Island, may be nominated for the internship program before March 1 every year. For details, contact your school’s science department or for an application, please visit www.bccrc.ca/dept/drc/hsp.

Knife threats for loud partiers

A knife was a Victoria man’s silencer of choice when he went after a group of neighbours at their Gorge Road apartment Sunday morning.

Just before 2 a.m., the man yelled at four people getting out of a cab for being too loud on their way to the apartment’s lobby.

Moments later, the man met the group in the hallway, armed with a 30-centimetre knife. He allegedly threatened to stab them for being too loud.

Police were called and 10 minutes after they arrived, the suspect was in the halls again, apparently to go for a walk.

A 31-year-old man was arrested and could be charged with assault with a weapon, possession of a dangerous weapon and uttering threats.

HELP SOLVEInk-stained money

Since July 24, a male has been making purchases at convenience stores and gas stations in the Greater Victoria and Nanaimo areas using $20 bills which have purple dye stains. The suspect also used these bills in coin dispensers at the Victoria General Hospital, Nanaimo Regional Hospital and the Cassidy Airport.

This money was stolen from an ATM theft in the Okanagan. A dye pack was discharged when the money was removed from the ATM and the bills are stained with purple dye.

The male suspect is described as being in his 20s, six feet tall, 170 pounds and he has short, brown hair. He was captured on surveillance video at a Millstream Road gas station in the West Shore. At the time of that transaction, he was wearing jeans, white shoes and a dark jersey with the numbers ‘09’ on it.

One of Victoria’s most undiscov-ered jewels is celebrating a mile-stone.

Point Ellice House is 150 years old, and to mark the occasion, volunteers and staff are hosting a heritage festi-val at the historical house and gar-dens on Sunday.

The national historic site is visited by upwards of 6,000 tourists each year, but many Greater Victoria resi-dents have not yet discovered the 1861 jewel, owned by three genera-tions of O’Reillys, said volunteer site co-ordinator Gail Simpson

“Certainly locals are not as aware of it,” Simpson said. “But we’re turn-ing that around.”

Raising the museum’s profile closer to home is one of the objectives of the Point Ellice House Preservation Society.

“If they fell in love with it the way we love it, then when Aunt Martha comes to visit, it would be the first thing that they think of – ‘Oh, let’s take her there for lunch,’” Simpson said.

The house is able to stay open and undergo preservation work – it’s now receiving a fresh coat of exterior paint – because of museum admis-sion fees and its afternoon tea ser-vice. The heritage festival will also be an important fundraiser.

The event will feature costumed volunteers, light refreshments and history experts, who will be available to answer questions. There will also be per-formances by the Victo-ria Summer Choir, Mor-ris dancers and band All In Good Time.

“We’re just so glad to see the dear old house getting addressed because some of the woodwork, which hap-pens over time, is really needing to be restored,”

Simpson said.The festival happens Aug. 21,

from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Point Ellice House, 2616 Pleasant St. The cost is $20 for two adults. Children under six are free and children six to 12 are $6. Families of two adults and two children pay $25.

For details, please visit www.point ellicehouse.ca, call 250-380-6506 or email [email protected].

VICTORIANEWS

OUR VIEW

What’s the point of having directors in each of the municipalities and unincorporated areas if they have no actual decision-making powers?

The Capital Regional District has 22 directors, with most appointed by their respective municipal councils and electoral area representatives directly elected by resident voters.

While the system is based on population, any vote can be heavily weighted. Case in point: Victoria has three directors and Saanich five. Each of the other cities, districts, towns and electoral areas only have one.

When regional districts were formed by the province back in the mid-1960s, it was to share the costs of services such as fire protection and hospitals, and to provide borrowing power. The provincial government had stepped away from the governance of unincorporated areas.

Changes since then have given regional districts much broader powers. They have, in essence, become a fourth level of government, created with little public input. Taxpayers had no say in the creation of regional districts – it was foisted on them whether they liked it or not.

While they serve a purpose, they are relatively unanswerable to any

They did not anticipate the shrinking job base in the resource sector or see that the only foreseeable option was tourism.

The world economy has sent once-prosperous companies to the brink of bankruptcy and people are finding vacation opportunities closer to home.

If tourism is to be the economic saviour in the reaches beyond Greater Victoria, then those communities have to cater to all tourists, not just the ones with backpacks and a hunger to trek, or the ones who go no further than downtown Victoria.

Each community knows its community best and the elected directors were voted in to speak for the people they represent.

The CRD board should not have the right to hamstring a director by taking away his or her power to govern, and they should not make a director a eunuch by giving him no options for economic development.

Navy returns to royal roots

As the home of Canada’s Pacific Fleet, we’re happy that we can officially call the Royal Canadian Navy just that.

On Tuesday, the federal government announced it had given up on a decades-old decision and would restore the traditional names of the three distinct elements within the Canadian Forces.

The public never did get entirely comfortable with what seemed like artificial terms for our

army, navy and air force.

The Maritime Command, Land Force Command and Air Command

always seemed too officious and in need of explanation.

And while we can’t simply throw the last 43 years of our military’s history out the window, those who serve in our armed forces are also keenly aware of the traditions that have been in place long before unification in 1968.

There were many unofficial theories given for the original decision to strip the term “royal” from the navy and air force and to move to a single uniform for all military branches.

Whether the thinking was to save money or to step away from the shadow of our British heritage, the move never really worked and many dedicated individuals fought the long fight to have the “royal” restored.

In 2011, we’ve long gotten over any insecurity about being seen as a colony of the old Empire.

The reality is our country’s roots as a constitutional monarchy go back almost 500 years, to when the King of France first claimed possession of what is now Canada.

The concept of the Crown is so interwoven in the fabric of this country that only a full-scale revolution could hope to undo the monarchy’s place in our laws and culture.

We are a royal nation and it’s good to know that once again, our region is home to the Royal Canadian Navy and Royal Canadian Air Force.

Canada’s military has undeniable royal connection

LETTERSTake a little off the top of pesky bird population

Does anyone else think there are too many seagulls and crows in our city? It seems the only birds we see are these noisy and aggressive birds which attack us and drive out the more timid birds. Not only do they have no natural enemies but there is, I believe, a law which states that we are not allowed to disturb their nests or eggs, at least in regards to seagulls.

Surely these aggressive and noisy birds which have fouled all our sidewalks and roofs with their excrement are not in any danger of extinction!

Is there any way to reduce the numbers of these birds, which are breeding in an unnatural way and nesting on the roofs of so many buildings in the city?

Fletcher column reveals party’s flip-flop

Re: Green Party gets lost in static (B.C. Views, Aug. 3)

Never before have I agreed with any of Tom Fletcher’s Liberal party cheerleading. However, this article did contain a priceless nugget of information.

I did not know that the B.C. Green Party’s 2009 platform had called for installation of smart meters by 2012, followed by imposition of time-of-use electricity pricing to reduce electricity consumption.

Its recent demand to halt B.C. Hydro’s smart meter program is thus an abrupt about-face.

This policy flip-flop follows an equally breathtaking volte-face on the HST

referendum. In both its 2005 and 2009 policy

platforms, the B.C. Green Party called for a harmonized sales tax. A provincial news release in 2009 called it “common sense,” while Elizabeth May said they supported the HST “in principle” while concerned with its method of imposition. So much for social justice of imposing a massive tax shift from corporations onto taxpayers.

At the provincial Green Party’s April convention – because of internal strife – members agreed that they could vote either “Yes” or “No” in the HST referendum.

This bold stance of being for and against the HST is a pattern of behaviour by a party nowhere close to being ready to govern – or apparently even engage in serious, coherent policy discussion.

Green leaders who sit on the fence of current issues will find such action almost as painful the we citizens who have to observe such erratic conduct.

Ron FarisVictoria

Green Party’s about-face a result of hearing the voters

Re: Green Party gets lost in static (B.C. Views, Aug. 3)

Tom Fletcher is missing the point in his attack against the Green Party. He doesn’t seem to understand that people are worried they are not getting the facts. Elizabeth May and Jane Sterk are acting responsibly. They are responding in accordance with public feedback. This is what politicians must learn to do.

It just appears that the Green Party is more responsive. B.C. Hydro has given us one set of facts, and not the whole truth. When they say radiation exposure is equal to 30 minutes on a cellphone it is very misleading. Smart meter radiation is whole body exposure, not just into the brain.

They may need to update their meters, but it is not necessary to do it wirelessly. The ITRON meters can be wired, as stated in the patent by the makers.

Tom Fletcher also needs to understand that people are worried because some of them are showing EMF sensitivities now, such as tingling in the hands and arms, constant ringing in the ears and hearing humming or high-pitched sounds constantly. Many are experiencing difficulty sleeping and higher levels of anxiety.

Fletcher himself is not immune to these effects, as much as he wants to ridicule them with the words “tiny tinfoil-hat” movement. This is a serious question: will our technology do us more harm than good?

Patricia IrwinVictoria

Electrical use could rise with smart meters

We are like sheep waiting to be fleeced, as B.C. Hydro installs its smart meters in Victoria this month. Thousands of people in Ontario and California complain that smart meters doubled or tripled their electrical usage. Smart meters use energy, and we have to pay for it. How is that smart? Especially since Hydro is paying over $90 million for them.

Christy Clark, please take note: Families don’t want to be fleeced! We are happy with our dumb old hydro meters that do the job, won’t cost the province a billion dollars, and don’t cost customers more money.

Bring on the rush: Victoria is behind the times

Re: Rush to rapid transit too rapid (11th-Hour Musings, Aug. 12)

Some of your readers have been trying to persuade their neighbours as well as municipal and provincial representatives to do something about our burgeoning traffic congestion problems for at least eight years. Now that this goal has almost been reached, your Roszan Holmen says that she feels “rushed.”

Please tell her and her readers to read the evidence that we are already well behind other North American cities, many no larger than ours, that have proven the economic and livability benefits of the transition from automotive indigestion to electric rail order, efficiency and long term savings for the public purse, the individual transit user, and the local and world environment.

Transit-oriented development will produce transit-oriented benefits for Victoria, too.

The backward thinking behind wildlife culls

In 1900, the world population was about one billion. In 2000, the world population was about seven billion.

We are running out of potable water. Food supplies are threatened. About 29,000 children starve to death in three months in Somalia. Farmland is being converted into housing developments. Thousands have no homes.

We need to cull the deer population, kill off the cougars and bears to solve our problems.

VICTORIANEWS

OUR VIEW

What’s the point of having directors in each of the municipalities and unincorporated areas if they have no actual decision-making powers?

The Capital Regional District has 22 directors, with most appointed by their respective municipal councils and electoral area representatives directly elected by resident voters.

While the system is based on population, any vote can be heavily weighted. Case in point: Victoria has three directors and Saanich five. Each of the other cities, districts, towns and electoral areas only have one.

When regional districts were formed by the province back in the mid-1960s, it was to share the costs of services such as fire protection and hospitals, and to provide borrowing power. The provincial government had stepped away from the governance of unincorporated areas.

Changes since then have given regional districts much broader powers. They have, in essence, become a fourth level of government, created with little public input. Taxpayers had no say in the creation of regional districts – it was foisted on them whether they liked it or not.

While they serve a purpose, they are relatively unanswerable to any

other legislative body, or the public, for that matter. Regional districts have fashioned their own voting structures, again without broader public input. They rule the roost, so to speak, and their powers are in many ways limitless. Does a director from Saanich have the right to vote on issues in the Juan de Fuca? Does a director from Sooke care what happens in North Saanich? Should they?

Can the members dictate what happens in municipalities or electoral areas other than their own? Apparently they can. Is this fair? Probably not.

The CRD adopted a Regional Growth Strategy, where a vision was created dictating what areas should be densely populated and which should remain rural. Local politicians didn’t want to see urban sprawl, and rightly so in many cases, but what defines “urban sprawl”?

Is it huge arable acreages covered over with big-box stores? Is it recreational cabins hidden in the forest? Is it a subdivision of affordable single-family homes? The concept of “urban sprawl” is open to interpretation and it is being used as a club by special interest

groups to get what they want, even though they are not appointed or elected by anyone except themselves.

The growth strategy is narrow in focus and out of touch with what is actually happening in rural areas.

“Doing the review does not mean there’s anything untoward. The purpose is see if there are quality improvements that can be made,” Crow said.

He stressed that while other hospitals in the province have a shortage of anesthe-

tists, this is not the case in Victoria where there are 40 anesthetists, including 21 who pro-vide on-call service for maternity care at Victo-ria General.

VIHA has one anes-thetist in the hospital at all times and has tried to recruit specialized obstetric anesthetists to work around the

clock in maternity. In 2009 VIHA offered

$1.88 million for the 5.4 anesthetists needed to provide that service, an equivalent of $348,000 per anesthetist, which Crow said is the maxi-mum available funding for that specialty, a rate set by the province and the B.C. medical asso-ciation.

James Helliwell, president of the B.C. Anesthesiologists Soci-ety, said the positions weren’t filled because no qualified anesthe-tist would work for that rate.

“In B.C. workloads are higher than the rest of the country. … Skilled anesthetists are choosing jobs else-where,” he said, call-ing on the province to launch an independent review into how to improve working con-ditions to recruit the needed anesthetists to the province.

To work around hav-ing an anesthetist dedi-cated to maternity care, VIHA undertook a risk analysis study in 2009 that highlighted the “severe or catastrophic risks” associated with needing to call in a doc-tor for an emergency C-section.

All hospital births in Greater Victoria and all high-risk births for Vancouver Island are handled at Victoria General. About 3,500 babies are born there each year.

Residents are invited to weigh in on fencing heights along the E&N right-of-way in Esquimalt, sections of which the Capital Regional District is turning into

a network of paved walking and cycling pathways.

Council gave first and second readings to a proposed amend-ment to a zoning bylaw on June 20, that would allow residents along the E&N trail to construct privacy fences.

Since then it was learned that the proposed changes needed to be more specific. The pro-posed amendment now includes allowable fence heights to be no more than two metres from the grade of the trail.

“We didn’t want to see some-

one put up an 18-foot fence and someone else put a three-foot fence next to that,” said Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjar-dins.

A public hearing on the issue happens Sept. 12.

Theatre nobodies will have a chance to show their work amid seasoned

pros when Intrepid The-atre’s 25th annual Victoria Fringe festival opens next week.

One of the latter group, Victoria actor/playwright Charles Ross, credits the Fringe for launching his solo career. He premiered his first solo show, One-Man Star Wars, in front of Fringe audiences in 2002.

“I had no idea how it would go over,” he recalled. “When it started selling out, I knew I could take it places.”

The next year he brought it to Fringe festivals across North Amer-ica, including Victoria, and because the festivals give 100 per cent of box office revenue to the artist, he was able to afford the upfront cost of an international tour, including an Off-Broadway run.

“For an artist starting out, there’s no equivalent. You have total artis-tic freedom and the audience decides what will float or sink,” Ross said. “If you want to try something totally out-

landish, the Fringe is the place.” The Fringe is uncensored and un-

juried with shows selected by lottery. This year’s festival features 72 shows, including 27 by local companies, per-formed at 13 venues between Aug. 25 and Sept. 4.

Ross is back this season, sharing the stage in Tara Firm and the Lunar War Chronicles, a Victorian sci-fi piece set on the moon in 1918, where the heros must rely on steam-powered technology in a flying battle against lunar militarism to save the world.

Other familiar names in this year’s program include SNAFU’s Ingrid Hansen, who features a creepy collection of children’s toys in her solo show Little Orange Man. Atomic Vaudeville’s Wes Borg and Morgan Cranny try their best to make ends meet in Rerentless. And Nata-lie North, intrepid reporter with Black Press’ Saanich News, is part of a team pro-ducing BFA: The Musical! about a fine arts grad under parental pressure to go to law school.

Even with all the shows in this year’s Fringe, another 90 were left on the wait list.

Andrew Barrett, an ambi-tious young actor and pro-ducer and recent student

in UVic’s theatre department, didn’t have his name drawn in the Fringe lottery, but managed to squeeze into the festival by finding his own venue on the lawn of Point Ellice House in Rock Bay. His show The Tirades of Love is about the ups and downs of relationships, told through dance rather than dialogue.

“Fringe is a way to get our work out there and have our faces seen,” he said. “It’s a deadline to work on. The show didn’t exist four months ago, it was created for the Fringe.”

Janet Munsil, who has produced the festival for 20 years, enjoys the reward of tracking the growth of art-ists who return year after year.

“Every year there’s sold-out hits that you can’t beg for a ticket to,” she said. “There’s lots of good stuff in the middle and, of course, a handful of duds. What’s important is every-one has an opportunity to do their work. They don’t need prior creden-tials, just an idea they want to put on stage.”

Everybody’s folkin’ for the weekendErin McCrackenNews staff

Thanks to Oliver Swain’s desire to look beyond the strings of his stand-up bass, he and his fellow volunteers are on the cusp of Victoria’s first FolkWest.

The folk-roots festival launches tonight (Aug. 19) with a free sneak peak at Royal Ath-letic Park at 5 p.m., and contin-ues Saturday and Sunday.

“I feel like we are on the brink of opening the doors of a really world-class international folk music festival in our first year,” said Swain, who initiated the planning two years ago.

“I can’t believe I’m saying that. I feel like I should be careful what I say, but I really believe that it’s true.”

The event will showcase two stages of live music and work-shops, as well as a children’s

festival, food, artisan crafts and a beer garden. A long lineup of renowned Canadian artists, such

as Barney Bentall, Ron Sexsmith and Joy Kills Sorrow, among others, and several Island musi-cians, including Swain, will per-form at the sports field and Logan’s Pub on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.

The festival is a chance for a wider audience to enjoy a diverse array of talent.

“There are still, I think, a lot of people discovering the beau-tiful, wonderful world of roots music,” Swain said.

Tickets can be purchased at www.folkwest.ca, Larsen Music, Long & McQuade, Hemp & Co. and Lyle’s Place.

Weekend passes are $60 for adults, $50 for youth ($50 for FolkWest members).

Single-day passes are $40 for adults, $30 for youth ($30 for FolkWest members). Children under 12 are free.

Rugby Canada moving inSam Van SchieNews staff

The country’s top rugby players will soon be training year-round at City Centre Park and Bear Mountain Stadium.

Langford has partnered with Rugby Canada to become the national headquarters for the national men’s and women’s rugby teams as they prepare for world and Olympic competition.

Trevor Arnold, director of rugby based out of Rugby Canada’s Victoria office, said the organiza-tion was looking to move its teams to coastal B.C. to avoid winter conditions getting in the way of practice.

“The rest of the world has gone very professional in rugby and we made the decision that if Canada is going to keep pace, we need to be training 12 months of the year,” Arnold said. “Langford stepped up and said we could go there, and we’re very excited about it.”

Currently a large portion of the Cana-dian men’s and wom-en’s national ros-ters play in the B.C. premier league, the country’s top club competition and suit up for the Victoria-based men’s and women’s teams to gain exposure while developing their skills.

City Centre Park’s turf field is already sanctioned for International Rugby Board games, such as when Team Russia met the B.C. Bears in 2009. Arnold expects there will be many more international teams visiting Langford in the years to come. Invita-tions are already in the mail to bring in teams tour-ing January 2012.

“We’ve never had a place to hold invitationals in Canada. It’s important for improving the team. We’ll want as many games as possible,” Arnold said.

Athletes begin arriving in January with 40 men and 25 women from senior and under-20 teams. They’ll make use of existing training facilities in Eagle Ridge arena, which is being renovated to add a high-tech scrummaging zone and a clinic for sports medicine.

A new building on Glen Lake Road will become Rugby Canada’s headquarters. Administrative and business offices from Victoria and Toronto will cen-tralize there. Initially athletes will be billeted in the community, and eventually they will move into a 70-bed athletes’ residence that will be incorporated into the Westhills development.

Collectively, the offices, residence and training facility will be called Canadian Rugby Centre of Excellence.

Langford Mayor Stew Young said details of where exactly everything will go are still being worked out.

Currently Rebels junior football and Highlanders professional women’s soccer teams use the turf, and there’s a deal with the school district to allow future high school students to use it after a new school is built at the Glen Lake site to replace Bel-mont secondary.

Rugby Canada finds a home on West Shore

Rugby amateurs take pro approach to World CupPair of Castaway-Wanderers sign pro contracts ahead of Rugby World CupTravis Paterson

News staff

Before championships are won and legends are made, a player needs to make it to the top level. By signing a pro contract in late July with England’s historic London Irish rugby club in the Aviva Premiership, Jebb Sinclair, a Team Canada back row forward, has taken the next step.

It marks a new chapter in Sinclair’s career, one that’s brought him from high school in Fredericton, N.B., to spending several seasons developing with the Castaway-Wanderers in Oak Bay while earning 23 caps on the national team.

It’s a similar route taken by Chauncey O’Toole, another back rower who came from New Brunswick to the Castaway-Wanderers with Sinclair in 2007. In early August, a week after Sinclair signed, O’Toole put his name on a contract of his own with the RaboBank (previ-ously known as Magners) League club Ospreys of Swansea, Wales.

For Canada, professional players like Sinclair and O’Toole are the exception.

National coach Kieran Crowley, a for-mer New Zealand All Black, would love to see the day he can select an entire Canadian roster from overseas. But the duo are just two of eight professionally contracted players on Canada’s 30-man roster named to the Rugby World Cup, taking place in New Zealand, Sept. 9 to Oct. 23.

Rather, the majority of the national team comes from the B.C. Premier League and the Canadian Rugby Cham-pionship provincial competition.

“(Playing pro in Europe) exposes the players to the day-to-day rigour of playing at the highest level of competi-tion seven to nine months of the year,” Crowley said.

“The games are at a level massively higher than anything in Canada. If we think our players are physically devel-oped and capable of playing there, we try to get our players signing over there.”

Back to Sinclair, who celebrated his contract with his first international try

in the opening minutes of Canada’s 28-22 win over the U.S. in Toronto on July 30. Sometimes known as Big Jebb for carrying 238 lbs. (108 kilograms) on a 5-foot-10 frame, he usually wears No. 6 for Canada.

When his agent told him representa-tives from the London Irish watched him play in June’s Churchill Cup in England, Sinclair didn’t want to get his

hopes up.“The (London Irish) said the Churchill

is what got me noticed.”Sinclair, 26, joined the national team

for its November 2008 test window and toured Portugal, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

“Every player on the other team was a pro. I was thinking, ‘I can keep up here.’”

But Canadians get unlucky when it comes to signing pro contracts, he said. Just two foreign players can be named to a match roster in the Aviva Premier-ship, creating fierce competition for the remaining spots.

Of the eight World Cup-bound Cana-dians playing pro this year, four are in a division one below that of the Aviva and RaboBank.

On Aug. 8 Canada jumped to 14th from 16th in the International Rugby Board world rankings. The gains are the result of Canada’s sweep over the U.S. in the recent two-game Can-Am series.

However, it could be a lifetime before Canada has more players at all 15 posi-tions, preferrably two deep, playing at the elite professional level, said Ian Hyde-Lay, a former national player who coaches the Castaway-Wanderers and St. Michaels University School teams.

Plain and simple, Canada’s up against a ceiling, with all 13 teams ahead of them in the world standings featuring fully pro rosters.

Getting there would take a complete overhaul, which could take as long as 15 years, starting from the bottom up, Hyde-Lay said.

“All we can do is put as much resource into developing the B.C. Pre-mier League as best we can,” said the seasoned coach and former interna-tional referee. “Conversely, there are a lot of amateur players with a very pro attitude, who bust their ass, and that’s what we’re seeing. The hope is if you’re playing in Europe you’re there too improve but being there doesn’t guarantee anything.”

Royals name staff for first season

Travis PatersonNews staff

With a list 12 items long, it might have been better to let the town crier bellow each and every Victoria Royals announce-ment this week.

On Wednesday the Royals con-firmed the outstanding details around the 2011-12 return of Western Hockey League with three new associate coaches, two new communications staff members, a radio play-by-play man, a variety of mini-pack ticket deals, the training camp sched-ule, and news of an intra-squad game on Aug. 31 and a garage sale and arena tour on Sept. 17.

Joining Marc Habscheid’s coaching staff are returning assistant Enio Sacilotto, new video coach Ben Cooper and new assistant Craid Didmon.

Sacilotto coached with the organization last year and will be on the bench this season with Cooper, who comes from Hockey Canada. Cooper provided video analysis for Canada’s hockey teams at world juniors for three years, the world championships in 2009 and the 2010 Olympics.

“Ben’s been exposed to the coaches’ meetings and game plans at all those levels and brings that understanding and experience to our club,” Habsc-heid said.

Between games, Cooper will provide video analysis for the

team. During games, he’ll be on the bench wearing a headset, communicating directly with Didmon.

“The key thing will be making in-game adjustments based on what we see,” Cooper said.

During the regular season Did-mon will be the eye-in-the-sky. Choosing him was easy, as he’s local and has an enthusiasm for the game, said Habscheid.

“Craig’s a hockey junkie, he loves the game and loves teach-ing young players,” Habsheid said.

Didmon previously coached the Victoria Cougars to a pro-vincial junior-B title before join-ing the Victoria Grizzlies for two years, helping the Grizzlies to first place in the standings.

In joining the Royals Didmon steps down as head coach of the South Island Thunderbirds of the B.C. Major Midget League, though he’ll continue running the day-time hockey academy for Spencer middle school and Belmont secondary students.

“Being involved with the major midget league I dealt with the

WHL, who watch our players closely. I’ve watched Marc in his career and thought, what an opportunity to work with a world class coach here in Victoria,” Didmon said.

T-birds assistant coach Max Young was named Did-mon’s successor on July 29.

On the radio The Zone @ 91.3 radio sta-

tion and the Royals have hired Marlon Martens, a vet-

eran play-by-play voice to lead the team’s live broadcast. Mar-tens did play-by-play with the Lethbridge Hurricanes from 2005 to 2007.

Garage sale The Sept. 17 garage sale is

notable because it will feature discounted merchandise from the Victoria Salmon Kings, the ECHL club that folded at the end of last season to make way for the WHL Royals.

Ticket crunchSeason tickets are approach-

ing 3,000 sold, said Devin Mazur, Royal’s director of ticketing.

The Royals announced the release of various mini-packs ticket pacakages starting at $87.

Single game tickets go on sale Aug. 31, though mini-packs hold-ers will have first dibs on tick-ets for the Sept. 24 home opener against the Vancouver Giants.

Rugby Canada moving inSam Van SchieNews staff

The country’s top rugby players will soon be training year-round at City Centre Park and Bear Mountain Stadium.

Langford has partnered with Rugby Canada to become the national headquarters for the national men’s and women’s rugby teams as they prepare for world and Olympic competition.

Trevor Arnold, director of rugby based out of Rugby Canada’s Victoria office, said the organiza-tion was looking to move its teams to coastal B.C. to avoid winter conditions getting in the way of practice.

“The rest of the world has gone very professional in rugby and we made the decision that if Canada is going to keep pace, we need to be training 12 months of the year,” Arnold said. “Langford stepped up and said we could go there, and we’re very excited about it.”

Currently a large portion of the Cana-dian men’s and wom-en’s national ros-ters play in the B.C. premier league, the country’s top club competition and suit up for the Victoria-based men’s and women’s teams to gain exposure while developing their skills.

City Centre Park’s turf field is already sanctioned for International Rugby Board games, such as when Team Russia met the B.C. Bears in 2009. Arnold expects there will be many more international teams visiting Langford in the years to come. Invita-tions are already in the mail to bring in teams tour-ing January 2012.

“We’ve never had a place to hold invitationals in Canada. It’s important for improving the team. We’ll want as many games as possible,” Arnold said.

Athletes begin arriving in January with 40 men and 25 women from senior and under-20 teams. They’ll make use of existing training facilities in Eagle Ridge arena, which is being renovated to add a high-tech scrummaging zone and a clinic for sports medicine.

A new building on Glen Lake Road will become Rugby Canada’s headquarters. Administrative and business offices from Victoria and Toronto will cen-tralize there. Initially athletes will be billeted in the community, and eventually they will move into a 70-bed athletes’ residence that will be incorporated into the Westhills development.

Collectively, the offices, residence and training facility will be called Canadian Rugby Centre of Excellence.

Langford Mayor Stew Young said details of where exactly everything will go are still being worked out.

Currently Rebels junior football and Highlanders professional women’s soccer teams use the turf, and there’s a deal with the school district to allow future high school students to use it after a new school is built at the Glen Lake site to replace Bel-mont secondary.

Rugby Canada finds a home on West Shore

Rugby amateurs take pro approach to World CupPair of Castaway-Wanderers sign pro contracts ahead of Rugby World CupTravis Paterson

News staff

Before championships are won and legends are made, a player needs to make it to the top level. By signing a pro contract in late July with England’s historic London Irish rugby club in the Aviva Premiership, Jebb Sinclair, a Team Canada back row forward, has taken the next step.

It marks a new chapter in Sinclair’s career, one that’s brought him from high school in Fredericton, N.B., to spending several seasons developing with the Castaway-Wanderers in Oak Bay while earning 23 caps on the national team.

It’s a similar route taken by Chauncey O’Toole, another back rower who came from New Brunswick to the Castaway-Wanderers with Sinclair in 2007. In early August, a week after Sinclair signed, O’Toole put his name on a contract of his own with the RaboBank (previ-ously known as Magners) League club Ospreys of Swansea, Wales.

For Canada, professional players like Sinclair and O’Toole are the exception.

National coach Kieran Crowley, a for-mer New Zealand All Black, would love to see the day he can select an entire Canadian roster from overseas. But the duo are just two of eight professionally contracted players on Canada’s 30-man roster named to the Rugby World Cup, taking place in New Zealand, Sept. 9 to Oct. 23.

Rather, the majority of the national team comes from the B.C. Premier League and the Canadian Rugby Cham-pionship provincial competition.

“(Playing pro in Europe) exposes the players to the day-to-day rigour of playing at the highest level of competi-tion seven to nine months of the year,” Crowley said.

“The games are at a level massively higher than anything in Canada. If we think our players are physically devel-oped and capable of playing there, we try to get our players signing over there.”

Back to Sinclair, who celebrated his contract with his first international try

in the opening minutes of Canada’s 28-22 win over the U.S. in Toronto on July 30. Sometimes known as Big Jebb for carrying 238 lbs. (108 kilograms) on a 5-foot-10 frame, he usually wears No. 6 for Canada.

When his agent told him representa-tives from the London Irish watched him play in June’s Churchill Cup in England, Sinclair didn’t want to get his

hopes up.“The (London Irish) said the Churchill

is what got me noticed.”Sinclair, 26, joined the national team

for its November 2008 test window and toured Portugal, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

“Every player on the other team was a pro. I was thinking, ‘I can keep up here.’”

But Canadians get unlucky when it comes to signing pro contracts, he said. Just two foreign players can be named to a match roster in the Aviva Premier-ship, creating fierce competition for the remaining spots.

Of the eight World Cup-bound Cana-dians playing pro this year, four are in a division one below that of the Aviva and RaboBank.

On Aug. 8 Canada jumped to 14th from 16th in the International Rugby Board world rankings. The gains are the result of Canada’s sweep over the U.S. in the recent two-game Can-Am series.

However, it could be a lifetime before Canada has more players at all 15 posi-tions, preferrably two deep, playing at the elite professional level, said Ian Hyde-Lay, a former national player who coaches the Castaway-Wanderers and St. Michaels University School teams.

Plain and simple, Canada’s up against a ceiling, with all 13 teams ahead of them in the world standings featuring fully pro rosters.

Getting there would take a complete overhaul, which could take as long as 15 years, starting from the bottom up, Hyde-Lay said.

“All we can do is put as much resource into developing the B.C. Pre-mier League as best we can,” said the seasoned coach and former interna-tional referee. “Conversely, there are a lot of amateur players with a very pro attitude, who bust their ass, and that’s what we’re seeing. The hope is if you’re playing in Europe you’re there too improve but being there doesn’t guarantee anything.”

■ MS Bike Tour Cowichan Valley Grape Escape ■ August 13 & 14 ■ Cowichan Valley

Grape Escape ridersraise more than

$350,000 to end MS

Braeden Lambert and Tino Fera of Team Experience.

Some 260 riders took part in the 11th annual Rona MS Bike Tour Cowichan Valley Grape Escape Aug. 13 and 14, pedalling to help end multiple sclerosis.

With the temperature in the early 20s, riders enjoyed the perfect setting for a pedal through one of the most beautiful areas on Vancouver Island – The Cowichan Val-ley. Participants had the opportunity on Saturday to stop at a variety of Valley destinations, including Cherry Point Estates, Hilary’s Cheese, Enrico and Twenty Two Oaks. The ride continued Sunday with stops at Shawnigan Lake, Merridale Cidery and Silverside Farm.

More than $350,000 was raised to end MS. The top fund-raiser was Kevin James, who individually raised $90,232! The MS Miracle Spinners was top Family and Friends team, raising $27,920, and top corporate team honours go to VIHA’s Devils & Divas, raising $12,251. The overall top team raised $117,213 – congratulations to the Woop de Woos!

“This event is so amazing that I look forward to it every year and I am never disappointed,” said Woop de Woo team member Shane Lornez. “It is a fantastic event that I will be attending every year.”

Organizers offer thanks to the sponsors, participants, volunteers and donors who made this event such an amaz-ing success. Here’s looking forward to seeing everyone at the 2012 event!

Steve Trevor is riding for Griffyn who, despite having yet to reach his first birthday, has

undergone several rounds of chemotherapy.

James Matsuda is riding on behalf of several people – including his late father – who have succumbed to or are battling cancer.

Both are part of the 22-person Canadian Cancer Society Cops For Cancer Tour de Rock team that will cycle the length of Vancouver Island this fall.

Trevor, an RCMP constable who grew up in Port Alberni, has volunteered at previous Cops For Cancer red serge events. This winter, the tour hit close to home when Griffyn – whose

parents are fellow Mounties at the Comox Valley RCMP detachment – was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a rare form of childhood cancer.

Doctors removed one of Griffyn’s adrenal glands as a newborn. By seven months, the youngster was already on his fourth round of chemotherapy.

“I’ve wanted to do the tour for a few years,” said Trevor, a father of two daughters. “I’ve been here seven years now. This year it became personal with Griffyn.”

Matsuda, an auxiliary officer for three years, is the produce supervisor at Thrifty Foods in Courtenay. He works alongside fellow auxiliary RCMP member

Rick Gaiga, who rode last year in honour of Christine Buijs, a Thrifty colleague and tour fundraiser who passed away from brain cancer.

Matsuda and his wife Belinda, who was active in Gaiga’s fundraising efforts, have both lost a father to cancer. Matsuda’s brother-in-law and another Thrifty co-worker are also stricken with a form of the disease.

“It’s one of these things that’s affected so many people,” said Matsuda, 45, a native of Ashcroft who moved to Courtenay in 1986. “It’s hard. So

many people out there.”The father of four teenagers is

inspired by the tour’s mandate to raise money for pediatric cancer research and programs such as Camp Goodtimes for children with a history of cancer.

“You see grownups going through it, but now you see kids trying to go through it; it’s just not fair,” Matsuda said. “It’s a hard thing. But it’s a good cause, and that’s why we’re doing it.”

“It’s an honour to do,” Trevor added. “It’s been a challenge balancing work.”

Their journey started with weekly training sessions in March that increased to three times a week over the past four months. Along with other North Island team members, Trevor and Matsuda completed a tough climb to the top of Mount Washington.

Trevor, who had done a “bit of mountain biking” before signing on with the tour, recalls the average time was an hour-and-a-half from the chain-up area to the top.

“Most of us, we haven’t really been on a road bike, so it’s a new experience,” Matsuda said.

Plans to axe the Vic-toria Regional Transit Commission and put regional transit and transportation planning in the hands of the Cap-ital Regional District are moving forward.

To help make that happen, CRD board chair Geoff Young and View Royal Mayor Gra-ham Hill, who chairs the CRD’s planning, transportation and pro-tective services com-mittee, hope to have a meeting with the Min-ister of Transportation and Infrastructure later this month.

Hill and Young plan to ask Blair Lekstrom about changing legisla-tion that would allow the CRD to govern tran-sit.

Members of the Vic-toria Regional Transit Commission, who are provincially appointed, have long complained the governing body lacks representation since it is comprised of leaders from only five of 13 municipalities in the region.

In the meantime, CRD staff will spend the summer developing the new governance model before submitting a report to the CRD’s transportation commit-tee in [email protected]

Whether it’s soaking up the last days of summer on a road trip, or a quick jaunt across the border for groceries or gas, make sure your car insurance is ready for the trip too. Here are a couple of things you can do to be sure:

Understand your coverage limits and deductibles.

Know what coverages and deductibles you carry for your vehicle. Refer to your insurance documents and ensure you have the following coverages:

• C o l l i s i o n : Payment to repair or replace your vehicle if it is damaged from a collision with another vehicle, person, or an object including the ground or highway.

• Comprehensive: Covers loss or damage to your vehicle by other causes such as fire, theft, vandalism, and falling or flying objects. Comprehensive does not cover loss or damage caused by collision.

Pay close attention to the deductibles you have chosen, since this is the portion you will need to pay before the policy will respond.

It’s important to ensure you have adequate liability protection. Basic Autoplan includes $200,000 Third-Party Liability coverage for accidents causing personal injury or property damage, but this may not be enough. Higher limits of Excess Third-Party Liability are available and in fact BCAA recommends vehicle owners

purchase a minimum of $3,000,000. You may wish to increase this before you leave.

Proof of Insurance - Keeping your documents with you.

Having adequate car insurance can’t help unless you keep your documents with you. When crossing the border, you may be asked to produce your car registration to show proof of ownership. It’s also helpful

to have on hand, your documents and a 24-hour e m e r g e n c y claim telephone number from your insurance company should you be involved in an accident.

Keeping safe.Your safety is

first priority. Ensure that your travel route is planned with the help of a good map or global positioning device and drive to the posted speed limits. Remember to limit the use of your cell phone, even through blue tooth devices, unless it’s an emergency, as laws on cell phone usage vary in different provinces and states. Lastly, don’t forget to pack your travel insurance, even for a quick trip across the border, to avoid financial devastation if you fall sick or have an accident while you’re away.

Visit your local BCAA Sales Centre to ensure you are prepared with the right coverage and information for peace-of-mind on your next road trip.

Hit the road packing protection.
