Young brothers put Oak Bay on the map in national rugby championships
Danielle PopeNews staff
If you ask Gavin and Lachlan Kratz to name their favourite sports stars, they’ll both give you the same answer: you can’t pick just one.
“The thing about rugby, is that it isn’t really about this player or that – everyone is excellent, and it’s the team that stands out,” says Lachlan.
At ages 13 and 15 respectively, Lachlan and Gavin have been learning this truth most of their lives. The boys started playing rugby with the Castaway Wanderers at ages 5 and 7. Now, with years of experience and two successful tryouts, the brothers have been handpicked for Rugby Canada’s National Championship Festival in Vancouver from Aug. 7-11.
“We’ve really had so many phenomenal players on our team this year, so it was an honour to be selected,” says Gavin, who also attended last year’s championship in Ontario, where his team won the event.
The brothers are the only players from Monterey middle school and Oak Bay High to be selected for
the event, but what makes their situation even more special is that both boys are in the younger end of their age divisions. Lachlan will play in the under-14 category, while Gavin will take on the under-16 group this year. The biggest challenge: size difference.
“Most of these players will have had another year on us, so that means another year of training and another year of growth,” Gavin says.
That growth may not make much difference, though. Spencer Robinson, coach of both the Castaway Wanderers and the
provincial under-15 team, says he’s been proud to work with the Kratz brothers.
“They really are all-around good kids,” says Robinson. “They try so hard at everything they do, and to see
that with such honesty all the time is just great. They always give it their best shot.”
While Lachlan may be the more outspoken of the two, Robinson notes that Gavin is also highly accomplished both as an athlete and a speech-giving Toastmaster.
“The brothers really have a neat bond, and Gavin has done an incredible job of leading the way for his younger brother – and Lachlan has taken up that effort to fill his older brother’s shoes,” says Robinson.

Brothers Lachlan, 13, and Gavin Kratz, 15, will put Oak Bay on the map in the Rugby Canada National Championship Festival from Aug. 7-11 in Vancouver. The two boys have been playing with the Castaway Wanderers since they were 5 and 7, and hope to take the sport as far as it will lead them.

The birds and the bees may soon be the talk around town in Oak
Bay, as proposed bylaw changes could make it easier for residents to house chickens and the buzzing honey producers.
After last year’s direction by
council to relax bylaws that restricted poultry- and bee-keeping based on property size, residents will get to weigh in on the issue during a public hearing set for late September.
Currently, a maximum of 10 hens may be kept on properties larger than 4,047 square metres, while five may be kept in an area between 745 and 1,858 sq. m. The proposed changes would allow up to five hens to be kept on a piece of land less than 1,114 sq. m. (or roughly a quar-ter acre), while 10 hens could be kept on larger properties. The proposal would also mean that coops that previously had to be six metres away from the property line could now be 4.6 metres away, and just two metres away if bordering a lane.
The bylaw only permits poul-try on properties zoned single-family residential. The birds must now be at least six months of age (to be sexed) and the owner must live on the prop-erty. Unlike under the existing bylaw, a permit to own chickens wouldn’t be required – just reg-istration with the district.
“This move would really allow people on smaller lots to have chickens,” said Mayor Nils Jensen. “We recognize the need here and encourage peo-ple to have their own gardens and raise their own chickens. It’s all part of the 100-kilome-tre diet, and now we have an opportunity to make it easier for people to achieve that.”
Buzzing into the bee colony, the current bylaw states that beehives must be located at least six metres away from a property line. The proposed
change would change that dis-tance to 1.5 metres.
Jensen says the impetus for the changes came after resi-dents who wanted to care for the birds approached council upon discovering their proper-ties were too small to allow it, under the bylaw. Though the public hearing will take place before council makes any deci-sions, Jensen says the move would fall within the long-term vision for Oak Bay’s sustain-ability and food security.

The storied history of the Wilkinson Road jail now extends back 100 years, and encom-passes all the crimes, escapes, changes and rehabilitations that go with it.
Phil Williams worked from 1994 to 2003 as a guard at the jail, now called the Vancouver Island Regional Correctional Cen-tre.
During that time he was a member of the prison history committee and is now helping with the centennial celebration. He is also working on a book on the history of the jail.
“The site is steeped in history,” Williams said. “I’ve always been of the mind, how can you know where you’re going if you don’t know where you’ve been?”
Constructed in 1913, the jail was built as a replacement for the Victoria jail on Topaz Ave-nue, which had a main wing burn down in 1912.
Architect Col. William Ridgway Wilson, the man behind the Bay Street Armoury, designed the unique fortress look of the build-ing, with crenelated parapets and towers, brickwork and arched windows. The building was rec-ognized as a Canadian historic site in 1981.
Though construction finished in 1913, the year displayed on the headstone above the main entrance, the first prisoners arrived at the prison on Sept. 12, 1914.
At its start, the jail housed civilian prisoners, along with military prisoners and some pris-oners of war, namely Canadian domestic dissidents and spy-ing suspects related to the First World War.
The first and only execution to take place at the prison hap-pened in 1915, when Robert Suttie was hanged for shooting his foreman at a mine in Oyster River.
In 1917 the jail was closed as a cost-saving measure to help
fund the war effort. It became a pheasant farm before reopen-ing in 1919 as the Colquitz Pro-vincial Mental Hospital for the criminally insane. By 1951, it held about 280 inmates, who operated a farm on the land.
Tragedy came in 1960 when a prisoner escaped and stole a number of guns from a nearby farm. The police located the man and a shootout ensued, result-ing in the death of Const. Robert Kirby, the only Saanich police officer to be killed in the line of duty.
“As you can well imagine, the press had a field day,” Williams said. “I think that was probably the beginning of the end for (Wilkinson) as a mental institu-tion.”
Another reason was its loca-tion. When first built, the jail was out of town, away from the gen-eral population, but as the city grew, housing surrounded the 10-hectare property.
“It was sort of out in the sticks, and then of course the residen-tial neighbourhoods grew up around it,” Williams said. “Then … it made the residents nervous and they didn’t want it there.”
After 45 years as a mental hos-pital, the provincial correctional
service took over the property and reopened it as a working prison farm in 1971, an expan-sion of the long history of farm-ing at the facility.
By 1973 the farm had seven bulls, 168 cows, 125 calfs, three boars, six young sows, 24 sows and 1,650 laying hens. Livestock was eaten at the prison, mak-ing it somewhat self-sustaining, while some animals were sold to generate income.
“In that time you were able to put the prisoners to work, doing something positive where they learned a skill, felt good about what they were doing,” Williams said. “By the time they got back to the cell block they’d be too exhausted to get into trouble.”
During efforts to modernize the jail, the farm operation was cleared away in 1985.
The building itself had many additions during its time as a men-tal hospital. In 1985, the building was modernized with a complete renovation of the jail’s interior, with
only the medieval facade left in its original form.
“I wouldn’t really call it an old building, it just looks like an old building,” Williams said.
Williams noted he has fond memories of working at the facil-ity. “I could make a difference in the day to day experience of those prisoners,” he said. “I don’t know if I miss the job so much, but I certainly miss the people I worked with.”
The jail currently houses pris-oners serving sentences under two years and those awaiting trial. It is a maximum security jail, because those waiting for trial can be accused of any sort of violent [email protected]

A farm, a mental hospital, a jail and a historic site, the castle on Wilkinson Road endures as a Victoria icon
Did you know?n Phil Williams said when he worked at the jail, he would often see tourists arrive for a picnic, thinking the building to be a local landmark. When they were told they had to leave, and the true nature of the building, they usually wasted no time clearing out.
n A story in the Victoria Times from Oct. 10, 1974 suggested “antiquated Wilkinson Road jail” would be closed and prisoners transferred to a new jail to be built in Jordan River.

The ceremonies have become common at the B.C. legisla-ture. Government officials and
aboriginal leaders gather to celebrate resource shar-ing agreements that allow economic development in areas that need employ-ment but are hampered by a century of uncertainty and dispute over treaties, or lack thereof.
This approach emerged a decade ago with for-est agreements. The B.C. Liberal government bought back timber cut-ting licences from big for-est firms and made them available for community forests and aboriginal communities who claimed the areas as their tradi-tional territories.
Recently the approach was extended to mining revenues and water licence fees paid by private power developers.
These are substantial steps for-ward for the only province in Can-ada in treaty limbo. A 2010 sharing deal worth more than $30 million in royalties for the Mount Milligan copper-gold mine north of Prince George helped the McLeod Lake Indian Band recover from the pine beetle and forestry slump that dev-astated its business base.
After many years of struggle, Mount Milligan expects to go into production this year. Another agree-ment with Kamloops-area com-munities shared revenues from an expanded Afton mine.
Perhaps the most ambitious
agreement was concluded in March of this year when the gov-ernment signed a deal with the
Tahltan Nation for min-ing and hydroelectric development in remote northwestern B.C. The deal clears the way for a major extension of the BC Hydro grid to power the Tahltan village of Iskut and also the Red Chris metal mine, opening up the region to other min-ing and hydro potential as well.
To get that deal, the province put up $20 mil-lion last year to buy back
Shell Canada’s coalbed gas leases in the Klappan region, headwaters of the Nass, Skeena and Stikine Rivers. Those leases had become a target of international protest.
Even after these expensive con-cessions, it would be an error to conclude that all is well between the Tahltan and the province. Sti-kine MLA Doug Donaldson ques-tioned Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad on this point during the recent legislature session.
The Tahltan Central Council was pleased about shared decision-mak-ing on resource projects, until they found out that B.C. had handed the environmental assessment of a new open-pit coal mine over to the federal government. The proposed mine is in the Klappan, known around the world as the Sacred Headwaters.
Rustad said shared decision-making deals such as the Tahltan
agreement do not cover activities of the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office. Whether the review of that coal mine is federal, provincial or combined, it requires extensive con-sultation with affected parties.
That’s great, but all that good-will could evaporate quickly if a coal mine ends up getting a permit despite Tahltan objections.
Rustad’s Nechako Lakes constitu-ency is also a focal point for oil and gas pipeline proposals. Donaldson highlighted another problem. Last year the government signed a rec-onciliation agreement with the Git-anyow First Nation near Terrace, one of many communities strug-gling to get through the B.C. treaty negotiation process.
That agreement included a joint land-use plan. Then the Environ-mental Assessment Office asked the Gitanyow for its input on proposed gas pipelines through its territory, to feed the government’s liquefied natural gas plans. Again, the joint land-use plan has no provision for pipelines.
The Gitanyow hereditary chiefs wrote to the B.C. government in July, threatening to go to court over the pipeline proposal and question-ing the value of their hard-won rec-onciliation agreement.
Resource revenue sharing agree-ments and shared land-use plans are well-intentioned and represent real progress. But these situations show how fragile they are.

B.C. aboriginal progress fragile
Small steps to labour peaceWhen the Liberal government and the
B.C. Teachers’ Federation signed a short collective agreement in the
summer of 2012, nobody anticipated the same players would be back at the bargaining table 12 months later.
But here we are in 2013 with the re-elected B.C. Liberal government making drastic changes to how the bargaining process will go this time around.
Last week’s announcement by education minister Peter Fassbender to remove school trustees from the board of the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association could be a step in the right direction for both sides.
The minister’s claim that this will allow the union to negotiate directly with the government, as opposed to an intermediary whose hands are essentially tied, should give the teachers more clout at the bargaining table.
For whatever reason, whenever the BCTF goes through negotiations it’s a more tumultuous, public process than other unions in the province.
Having to go through a middleman – the BCPSEA – wasn’t working to anyone’s benefit, especially given that the government, which has the power to legislate teachers back to work or tear contracts, was using BCPSEA as a wall between them and the teachers.
This shift shows the province is taking a slightly softer and more direct approach to bargaining with the teachers, and that’s a good thing. But it’s likely motivated in some ways by their unprecedented move to seek a 10-year agreement with the teachers.
As it stands, there’s nothing in it for the BCTF to agree to such a lengthy contract. Ten years is an unbearably long time to be locked into a contract, especially when one considers the ups and downs of the Canadian economy we saw in the last decade.
If the government is trying a “we scratch your back, you scratch ours” approach to bargaining, it’s not going to work.
A more open bargaining process between both sides is a step in the right direction to hopefully long-term labour peace, but 10 years is too long.

Re: NDP soul searching going nowhere (B.C. Views, July 31)
Reluctantly, I must agree with Tom Fletcher’s assessment that the NDP is going nowhere. Indeed they appear to be still jousting with W.A.C. Bennett.
So what do we moderates and lefties do now?
The Green party is a ready-made party, and though they tend to conservatism, a strong influx of lefties might well moderate their stance.
Otherwise, we need to develop a brand
new party post haste, one hopefully started by a charismatic leader with lots of energy.
If so, whomever he or she may be needs to get off their behind and get on with it.
P.S. Sorry Adrian, the job is, uh, taken.

Re: Greater Victoria sewage committee wants options for biosolids site (vicnews.com)
In this enlightening story, Capital Regional District liquid waste management committee chair Denise Blackwell is quoted as saying, “The plan is the plan. We need to get on with it.”
Is this the plan that is shortsighted and will only last 12 years, or the plan that has requests for proposals issued for a site that is unavailable?
Is this the plan that will have inadequate resource recovery, or will continue to discharge partially treated sewage at Clover Point (in heavy rain) and not deal at all with the toxins from storm water?
Is this the plan that has ignored
the possibility of innovative technology and has not undergone a cost-benefit analysis? Is this the plan that cannot be justified by any credible scientific evidence?
Never mind. The plan is the plan. We need to get on with it.

Disability savings planpoor long-term dealfor those on pensions
The Registered Disability Savings Plan is a scheme cooked up by the Tories that looks good at first. It promises to triple your “investment.” After 10 years, the government will give you a three-to-one match.
Catch No. 1: you have to wait 10 years to see any money again; Catch No. 2: you will have to pay tax when your RDSP matures, reducing your return by 20 to 30 per cent; Catch No. 3: when the RDSP matures and you cash it in, you are no longer allowed to collect disability benefits.
In the long run, if you are foolish enough to invest in this plan, you come out behind, you have sacrificed grocery money in the here and now to get a kick in the pants later.

It has been often stated that Victoria is the “cycling capital” of Canada. Perhaps we have more bike commuters than other cities, but overall I disagree with this statement.
People who make this claim have obviously not been to major cities like Montreal.
Commuters in Montreal are not blessed with moderate yearly weather, but are fortunate to have many kilometres of dedicated bike paths.
A cyclist can circumvent the island of Montreal on bike paths that they don’t share with vehicles.
They also have dedicated bike ferries that will take cyclists out to the various islands south and west of the city.
Bike paths along the old Lachine Canal have facilities for picnics and small repair stations, and there are weekly bike races as well.
As a cyclist I find I am riding much less in Victoria than I ever did in Montreal. The primary reason is the decided lack of cycling trails and the traffic.
The Galloping Goose is an excellent trail but it’s all we have.

The Gitanyow hereditary chiefs wrote to the B.C. government in July, threatening to go to court over the pipeline proposal and question-ing the value of their hard-won rec-onciliation agreement.
Resource revenue sharing agree-ments and shared land-use plans are well-intentioned and represent real progress. But these situations show how fragile they are.

B.C. aboriginal progress fragile
Small steps to labour peaceWhen the Liberal government and the
B.C. Teachers’ Federation signed a short collective agreement in the
summer of 2012, nobody anticipated the same players would be back at the bargaining table 12 months later.
But here we are in 2013 with the re-elected B.C. Liberal government making drastic changes to how the bargaining process will go this time around.
Last week’s announcement by education minister Peter Fassbender to remove school trustees from the board of the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association could be a step in the right direction for both sides.
The minister’s claim that this will allow the union to negotiate directly with the government, as opposed to an intermediary whose hands are essentially tied, should give the teachers more clout at the bargaining table.
For whatever reason, whenever the BCTF goes through negotiations it’s a more tumultuous, public process than other unions in the province.
Having to go through a middleman – the BCPSEA – wasn’t working to anyone’s benefit, especially given that the government, which has the power to legislate teachers back to work or tear contracts, was using BCPSEA as a wall between them and the teachers.
This shift shows the province is taking a slightly softer and more direct approach to bargaining with the teachers, and that’s a good thing. But it’s likely motivated in some ways by their unprecedented move to seek a 10-year agreement with the teachers.
As it stands, there’s nothing in it for the BCTF to agree to such a lengthy contract. Ten years is an unbearably long time to be locked into a contract, especially when one considers the ups and downs of the Canadian economy we saw in the last decade.
If the government is trying a “we scratch your back, you scratch ours” approach to bargaining, it’s not going to work.
A more open bargaining process between both sides is a step in the right direction to hopefully long-term labour peace, but 10 years is too long.

You may be pleased to hear that you have 20/20 vision and think you have perfect vision. But do you?
Not necessarily. 20/20 only indicates how sharp or clear your vision is at a distance. Overall vision also includes peripheral awareness or side vision, eye coordination, depth perception, focus-sing ability and colour vision.
20/20 is the average visual clarity obtainable by normal healthy eyes. Since it is an average, it means that there are those that see better or worse than 20/20 and yet still have healthy eyes.
20/20 describes normal visual clarity or sharp-ness measured at a distance of 20 feet from an object. If you have 20/20 vision, you can see clearly at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. If you have 20/100 vision, it means that you must be as close as 20 feet to see what a person with normal vision can see at 100 feet. In the metric system, 6/6 is the equivalent of 20/20.
The ability to see objects clearly is affected by many factors. Eye conditions like nearsighted-ness, farsightedness, astigmatism or eye disease influence visual acuity. Most people with vision slightly below 20/20 function very well, whereas some people who have better than 20/20 feel their vision is not satisfactory. Everybody’s visual expectations are different and satisfactory vision is far more complex than just being able to see 20/20.
If you feel your vision is not up to standard a comprehensive eye examination will identify causes that may affect your ability to see well. Optometrists may be able to prescribe glasses, contact lenses or other vision aids that will help improve your vision. If the reduced vision is due to an eye disease, the use of ocular medication or other treatment may be needed. If necessary, a re-ferral to a specialist will be made if an eye disease is found which warrants further investigation.
What is 20/20 vision?

Two dozen Vancouver Island youth programs received a big boost from Coast Capital Sav-ings last week to help improve financial literacy, spur on entre-preneurs and get more young people volunteering in the com-munity.
The Coast Capital Savings Youth Leaders Community Council is granting more than $257,000 to 24 organizations on the Island that are impacting youth for the better.
“The council for youth, by youth,” said Victoria resident Ivan Watson, who chairs the Island council. “Anti-bullying is
a priority area we’ve funded, as well as financial literacy and other areas where we can make an impact.”
The community council began in Victoria last year and has since spread to Vancou-ver and Surrey. The innovative model allows a team of eight young professionals under 30 to evaluate grant applications from organizations in their own community, said Wendy Lachance, Coast Capital’s direc-tor of community leadership.
“We’re extremely proud of the way these young leaders have come together, and the discipline they’ve really put together to follow the evalua-tion criteria we’ve put in front
of them,” she said.Local organizations that
received funding for youth programs include the Greater Victoria Volunteer Society, Kid-Sport, Power to Be, Community Micro Lending and the Victoria READ Society.
Coast Capital has granted about $773,000 to non-profit organizations in B.C. so far in 2013.
In August, the financial insti-tution will begin considering community investment grant applications for the fourth quarter of 2013. The deadline to submit an application is Aug. 23. For details, visit bit.ly/R6LK5.

classic musicalA fresh new look at a
Putting on your own professional production of one of the most popular and iconic musicals of all time is no easy feat.
That’s the monumental task facing director Sara-Jeanne Hosie as Blue Bridge Repertory
Theatre prepares to stage My Fair Lady.“Every director and every group of actors wants to tell
the story their own way, and the challenge to that is to tell it the truest way we can,” says Hosie. “I definitely think we’ve done a fresh, new look on this show; a fresh new take on this story.”
The story, to those unfamiliar with it, is based on George Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion, about the unrefined Cockney Eliza Doolittle and the well-to-do Henry Higgins, who aims to transform her into a lady.
“I feel like I’m bringing my own brand to the role, and my level of skill as a singer, dancer and actor,” says Amanda Lisman, who plays Eliza, a role made famous by Julie Andrews and Audrey Hepburn. “It’s just about having fun with it, and finding the truth of the character to me.”
Both Hosie and Lisman say My Fair Lady is one of the most well-rounded musicals of all time, complete with great music and a top-notch story.
“What I love about Shaw’s writing is all of his women that he writes are strong and witty and very intelligent, and so that is a joy to play,” Lisman says. “Eliza’s is a great journey to take. What Shaw gives you, which perhaps other musicals don’t have, is a great play at the centre of the music.”
Hosie was originally slated to be choreographer on the
show, with Blue Bridge artistic director Brian Richmond taking charge as director.
“As we did the audition process and saw lots of really great people, it came to our attention that we had our Henry Higgins behind the desk directing. We realized he
should play the part,” Hosie says.With Lisman and Richmond, along with Kholby Wardell
as Freddie, in the lead roles, Hosie says the 17-person cast has been a delight to direct.
“It’s been wonderful to find this story, and come in and collaborate with the cast for their ideas and thoughts. I think we’ve found a lovely balance,” the director says.
Lisman, whose recent performances have been on the more dramatic side, says she’s enjoying playing Eliza and returning to her roots in comedy.
“It’s such a joy going to rehearsals every day, singing, dancing and engaging on another level than just scene work,” she says. “I think one of the things I enjoy most is the humour of the show. It’s fantastic to explore that aspect of it.”
“Amanda comes from such a comedic place in her life. She’s a very strong comedian,” adds Hosie. “What she’s infusing into Eliza, the comedy she’s bringing into Eliza is wonderful and is so fresh. She’s definitely going the full gamut and working very hard to be convincing as the different (incarnations of) Eliza.”
Lisman, a Victoria native who’s ventured to Toronto for some of her most recent roles, says it’s a treat working for Blue Bridge in her hometown.
“I’m so happy that they’ve created a demand for classical theatre in Victoria. I’ve had to go elsewhere to work and get the challenges as a professional actor, so to have them fill the void of classical musical theatre in my hometown is fantastic for me,” she says.
My Fair Lady runs Aug. 6 to 18 at the McPherson Playhouse. Tickets ($25-$60) are available at the McPherson box office, at rmts.bc.ca or by calling 250-386-6121.

No ‘showdown’ with teachers, minister says
“It’s about finding a new road map where we can achieve that goal.”
A two-year contract extension and wage freeze imposed by the government on teach-ers expired at the end of June. Jim Iker, who took over this spring as BCTF president, told CKNW radio last Thurs-day his union isn’t opposed to a long-term settlement, as long as more resources are there to improve class-room conditions.
The BCTF is return-ing to court this fall to seek restoration of bar-gaining for class size and special needs sup-port.
School support staff represented by the Canadian Union of Pub-lic Employees are to resume negotiations for a new contract this month, after walk-ing away last spring because their negotia-tors didn’t believe BCP-SEA had an adequate mandate to get a [email protected]
Tom FletcherBlack Press
The B.C. government is pressing ahead with its goal of a 10-year agreement with B.C. teachers, appointing a “pub-lic administrator” to replace school trustees on the board of their provincial bargaining agency.
Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the change is
temporary, and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association will continue to play an impor-tant role in talks with teach-ers and support staff. BCPSEA will be under the direction of Michael Marchbank, CEO of the Hospital Employers’ Association, when talks with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation resume in September.
Fassbender’s announcement last Wednesday surprised
school trustees around the province. He said he spoke to or left messages for trustees on the BCPSEA executive before making the announcement.
The move is to meet a demand of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation to bargain directly with the B.C. government, Fassbender said. The govern-ment also intends to eliminate essential services rules that keep schools open with mini-
mum staff during strikes. Fassbender denied the
suggestion he is setting up a “showdown” with teachers that would shut down schools and turn the public against unions. The structural change is needed to achieve the sta-bility for students and parents promised by Premier Christy Clark, he said.
“It’s not about pitting them against us,” Fassbender said.

“They are excellent players, they don’t play mean, and I feel like it’s been my good fortune to get to coach both of them,” Robinson adds.
The championships, held at University of British Columbia, will see 1,000 athletes from all over competing in the U-14, U-16 and U-18 divisions. Some games will be live-streamed through the website, nationalfestivalrugby.com.
In terms of what attending a championship like this could do for the boys’ careers, Robinson says it’s an important and exciting opportunity for young players to compete against a wide swath of their peers. Lachlan says it’s a chance to win a lot more than just a medal – add the fact that his U-14 team has gone undefeated for eight years straight, and the pressure is on.
“I’ve never had the opportunity to play at this level before, so I think it will be a good experience and I will learn a lot,” he says. “Just to be able to say that I’ve played for B.C. is really great.”
Both boys say they hope to run with rugby as far as it will take them – university, and maybe beyond. When they aren’t throwing the ball around, Lachlan dedicates his time to basketball, and has played tournaments with the Oak Bay
High team. Gavin samples basketball as well as cross-country, track and “anything to pass the time.”
Though the boys might not be able to pick individual athletes to idolize, Gavin says there are traits that players have that really stand out for him. “I really admire a player’s
skill in decision making. You may have to go into contact, but there are a few open guys on the side, and making the right choice is what it’s all about,” he says. “I’d like to think I’m developing that skill, but you just get better with experience.”

I t’s time to point out something obvious about sexism and racism in sports – it’s still
bleeping here. In seven years of sports report-
ing I’ve found fewer and fewer things surprise me.
There will be some unex-pected accom-plishments by a local athlete. You don’t know who, or when, but you know it’s going to hap-pen.
It’s easy to get caught up in the flow of things. But a recent conversation has left an imprint on my approach to sports. It came out of a routine follow-up email. The News’ pub-lished a story last month about Uni-versity of Victoria’s summer class on the Tour de France. The story was based on an interview with the course designer, professor Emile de Rosnay, who is also an elite cyclist, still racing at 40.
The followup, naturally, was with a student. Turns out this student is a woman who is not interested in sports, which went against my sus-picion, that my request to interview a student would yield a response from one of the UVic Vikes ath-letes who were taking the course. I knew there were Vikes studying it because I followed the course’s Twitter hashtag, #TdF325.
The student is Daphne Shaed, who confessed she is not a sports fan, but was riveted by the course and the Tour.
I was riveted by our conversa-tion. So riveted I had to cut it off after 27 minutes to wrap my head around what she was pointing out.
Shaed speaks her mind. She’s the director of Camosun Women’s Centre and a sociology major at UVic. Gender, sex and race equality are among her priorities and her
strengths. We didn’t talk about the fact
“pro-gay” athletes could be arrested during the 2014 Winter Olympics because it’s against Rus-sian law. We just didn’t have time.
So maybe she’s not passionate about sports, but Shaed does have an eye for things shiny and bright, I discover.
“I really appreciated the technol-ogy and science of the Tour bicy-cles, enough to get me riding my 40-pound mountain bike all over town,” she said. “Now that I’m on my bike I’m noting all the cycling brands which are on the Tour, the companies (which lead the world in bike technology).”
She’s currently up to 100 kilome-tres a week on her bike, which she dug out from storage at her parents house after many years away from it. But that’s about where the Tour’s positive influence ended for Shaed.
As someone who has come to love the Tour since Ryder Hesjedal reintroduced it to me, I was coming to accept it for what it is, without thinking about it.
A race for white guys. “First of all, it’s been running for
100 years and it’s a very Euro-cen-tric race with few, if any, self-identi-fied persons of colour,” Shaed said.
Right, I can see that. Oh wait. So there might be more than just one or two Tour-ready cyclists from Asia, one of the world’s most popu-lated areas?
“In Asia and South Asia, bikes are a dominant mode of transportation, yet you’re not seeing many Asians on the tour.”
OK, I’m starting to get it now.“Secondly, there’s no women, or
women’s race.”I point out to Shaed that there
was a women’s race, the Grande Boucle, from 1984 to 2009. It was originally called Tour Cycliste Féminin, or Tour Féminin. Except the not-so-inclusive (male) think-ers of the Tour de France felt it infringed on their name, and asked to have it changed. Grande Boucle was a good pick as it means big
loop and is a nickname for the Tour de France and is all-inclusive. Spon-sorship dwindled and the race is still on hiatus.
Even just a gental, topical dissec-tion of the Tour de France left me with the reporter’s itch that only Google can scratch.
So I Googled. Then I called Shaed back for more.
“In Italy they have the Giro Rosa. It’s named for the same pink jersey the leading male cyclist, such as 2012 winner Hesjedal, wears in the Giro d’Italia,” I told her.
But why bother. The Rosa is one of the only remaining Grand Tours for women, though there is a grow-ing appetite to reinstate the Grand Boucle, among other races.
It’s easy to credit the Tour de France for what it is, the top cycling race in the world. But it’s also hard to blame organizers for its faults. They inherited the doping problem (which is soon to be a polarizing topic in most sport) and are work-ing on it. But sexism and racism, which is also inherent, is being con-vienently brushed aside while dop-ing scandals stand front and centre.
What I’m left with is a new real-
ization that sports, the competi-tions themselves, don’t really change. The only things that change are the theatre and environ-ment around sports.
Sure, the rules of some sports are tweaked to increase the excite-ment level for fans. Other rules are adjusted to account for the evolu-tion of the human physique as we become bigger, faster and stronger (and better at cheating).
If anything, the complication of dealing with doping looks difficult, while dealing with sexism and rac-ism in sports looks much easier. All sports should have some sort of long-term plan for equality. Force sponsors to run a women’s team. By the time our kids are grow up they won’t know a time when the Tour de France was for white men only.
It’s a trickle over effect to other sports. International programs such as soccer and rugby are great at promoting the tournament’s for both sexes. Get the professional organizations going and then we can focus on including queer trans-gender athletes, too.
