When signs say no exit, it gen-erally refers to vehicles. The city is criss-crossed with pathways and trails leading from dead end residential streets connecting to major destinations like parks and schools. In Oak Bay, they hope to reveal these cul-de-sac secrets.

At the topmost edge of the com-munity, a walkway winds behind a home from Kendal Avenue to the Mt. Tolmie reservoir. Unmarked and unknown, it could easily con-nect cyclists and pedestrians to Mt. Tolmie Park, without using busy roads like Richmond and Cedar Hill Cross, says Lesley Ewing.

“A lot of people don’t know there are ways to get through here,” she said. “It’s an easy, pleasant way to get to a pleasant view.”

A member of the Active Trans-portation Advisory Committee, Ewing figures signage could get folks out and using the cul-de-sac roads that go nowhere for drivers, but provide opportunity for those on foot or bike.

“With some improved signage, people would know what was there and be able to explore a bit,” agreed Coun. Michelle Kirby, the Oak Bay council liaison to ATAC.

“Being able to choose an alter-nate to the car, it just makes a more fun and healthy community.”

Christopher Causton now shares harbour’s historyChristine van ReeuwykNews staff

A mortician, lawyer, doctor and 747 pilot are all captains of the little green and white boats offering harbour and gorge tours in Victoria.

But there’s only one former Oak Bay mayor.

Piloting a Victoria Harbour Ferry is Christo-pher Causton’s new “fun job.” He takes tour-ists four days on, four days off. “Just like a

firefighter,” he said with a chuckle. Causton started the job in March follow-

ing a series of maritime courses, including the Small Vessel Operator Proficiency Training Course, medical marine first aid, emergency radio and hours spent on the water training with veteran skippers.

“I think I went out about 70 hours with other skippers just listening to their other tours and refining my own techniques,” Causton said.

The seasonal ferries run through October.“It’s one of those jobs that a lot of people

I think look at and say, ‘Gosh when I get to a certain stage of my life, I’d love to do that in the summer,” he said.

“It involves hospitality, the outdoors, it’s got a great group of guys you work with. It’s run as a team and you have a schedule and you have to keep to that schedule. It’s almost like it’s precision, you have to be at a certain place at a certain time. I love efficiency.”

Then you add the water, and Causton’s pas-sion for the Victoria harbour, and the job is ideal.

“I’m trying to enjoy life but at the same time, try to make improvements … in the vibrancy of the city, in the experience of the visitors,” he said. “If you can make things a little better every day, that’s good.”

Up-and-coming artists will join the well-established and mingle with the Oak Bay arts crowd for the eighth annual Bowker Creek Brush Up.

The Bowker Creek Brush Up outdoor art show and sale runs Sunday (Aug. 12).

Starting with the mayor and town crier launch at 11 a.m., 30 artists of the Oak Bay Community Artists Society will be set up throughout Bowker Creek Park.

“There’s all different types,” said event co-ordinator Joan McCorry.

The artists will be painting and be giving

demos in their chosen art medium rang-ing from painters to potters and photogra-phers to jewelry makers.

“Also we have three youth artists,” McCorry added.

“Their artwork is featured on the cover of our brochure … every year we like to feature some youth artists that’s the next generation of who’s going to be in our soci-ety.”

Dorone Smith, EiraShay Barker-Hart and Genevieve Chandler will be the highlighted trio of youth.

“We also like to feature guest artists that aren’t from Oak Bay,” she added.

This year Pat Martin-Bates, Martin Machacek who can be found at the Inner Harbour these days; Robert Amos and Jim McFarland.

“We’ve got returning artists and some that haven’t been in the show before,” McCorry said.

The show and sale is free to peruse from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. between Oak Bay High and Hamp-shire Road.

Hesjedal celebration

The community is invited to a welcome home party and celebration of competitive cyclist Ryder Hesjedal’s victory in the Giro D’Italia back in May.

The Belmont secondary grad has been in Europe since scoring his big win and recently finished middle of the pack in the Olympic road race and time trial events.

The parade from the Victoria Marriott hotel starts at 3:30 p.m. today (Aug. 10) and travels along Government Street to Centennial Square. Events including a red carpet arrival, conversation with Hesjedal, his family and coaches, and a Q & A session with the audience, run from 3:50 to 6:30 p.m.

CBC’s friendsseeking input

Friends of Canadian Broadcasting is hosting a free town hall meeting in Victoria on Tuesday (Aug. 14) under the topic The CBC We Want.

The group is holding meetings to gain input in advance of the renewal of the CBC’s broadcasting licence in November.

The panel event is being hosted by writer-broadcaster Arthur Black and veteran CBC journalist Patrick Brown is among the speakers. The meeting goes from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Pacific Fleet Club, 1587 Lyall St. in Esquimalt.

Thieves target unlocked cars

Thieves continue to target unlocked vehicles in Oak Bay. Police were called in a series of incidents from Aug. 1 to 3 on Inglewood Terrace, Barkley Terrace and King George Terrace for thefts from vehicles.

Items stolen include cash to electronics and golf clubs. A purse stolen from one vehicle was later found in the bushes.

Oak Bay police encourage drivers to remove all valuables from vehicles.


The B.C. Coroner’s Office is working to identify a body found Sunday in the water near Mary Tod Island.

Kayakers called Oak Bay police around 4:30 p.m. when they dis-covered a floating body.

While police will not speculate on the identity, and the coroner is working to identify the body, it could be that of a young Saanich man missing since his canoe cap-sized near Ten Mile Point in July.

Two young men, each 20-year-old Saanich residents, launched their

canoe from Telegraph Bay Cove July 6 with the intention of camp-ing on nearby Discovery Island.

The canoe capsized and the men clung to a dry bag of camping gear. Residents of the point heard their cries for help and called police. Neither man was wearing a life jacket, and no personal floatation devices were in the canoe.

One of the men was found cling-ing to Tod Rock near Mary Tod Island off Oak Bay at 12:25 a.m. He was plucked from the rocks suffering from hypothermia, but released in good health from Royal Jubilee Hospital.

The second man wasn’t found

despite an exhaustive two-day water and shoreline search.

Saanich police Sgt. Dean Jantzen said the men became separated in the water in the dark near Tod Rock.

“His buddy was washed up onto the rock. That’s when the second man was last seen,” Jantzen said. “It’s tragic, they were just in sight of shore.”

A man was shocked by a Taser stun gun Friday by an Oak Bay police officer after police were asked to investigate a vehicle doing spin-outs on Monterey Avenue.

Police were called around 7 p.m. after a man was reported driv-ing dangerously, spinning his tires

and driving on the lawn of the fire department before stopping on the paved driveway.

Witnesses said the man injured himself smashing windows with his head and hands.

“Upon police arrival, the vehicle was locked and the driver would not comply with directions to unlock his vehicle and exit,” Sgt. Ray Maxwell said in a release.

“He was continuing to thrash about inside his vehicle. Police were concerned that the driver may decide to continue driving in a dan-gerous manner.”

Officers smashed the driver and passenger side windows to gain access. Police said the man reached for a golf club prompting a warn-ing from one officer that the Taser would be used.

“The driver did not comply and the officer utilized the conductive energy weapon (Taser) upon him. Police were then able to remove the driver, handcuff him, and had him assessed by medical personal at the hospital,” Maxwell said.

A 66 year-old Oak Bay man was arrested and held in hospital for psychological assessment.

The Oak Bay Walking Trails brochure outlines a series of routes that follow sidewalks, trails and laneways, but some critical links for pedestrians and cyclists remain unmarked and unknown to the average resident.

However, pathways including Carnarvan Park from Townley Street to Harlow Drive; Kendal Avenue, west end; University Woods, west end; and Woodburn Avenue, south end, were identified in the Oak Bay Active Transportation Strategy done by consultant Boulevard Transportation Group last September as areas that could use signage.

“Unless you’ve read the report, or lived here a long time you don’t know about them,” Kirby said.

The pathways link to destination areas such as Mt. Tolmie, Camosun College, UVic, the Uplands, beaches and neighbouring streets, Ewing noted.

“This could be a really attractive route,” she said of the path backing onto Uplands Golf Course and connecting to nearby Camosun College. “Signage would help.”

Council will implement signage in some areas as part of the recently adopted Complete Streets policy that also came out of the Oak Bay Active Transportation Strategy report.

“We’ll see more and more improvements with signage and cycling and walking,” Kirby said.

That report is available online at www.oakbaybc.org.

Coun. Michelle Kirby, left, and resident Lesley Ewing, serve on Oak Bay’s Active Transportation Advisory Committee and would like to see pathways, like the paved one behind them (off Woodburn Avenue), better utilized throughout the community.

Defining active transportationActive transportation is any method of human-powered transportation including walking, cycling, skateboarding, rollerblading, electric-assisted bicycles, foot-powered scooters, horseback riding, wheelchair travel, and even cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.

Poems hint at writers’ personal storiesShelters, rehab centres release commemorative poetry book

Daniel PalmerNews staff

As celebrations wind down from Victoria’s 150th anniver-sary, a new poetry collection is giving a voice to some lesser-known stories of the city.

Victoria on the Banks of the Mainstream is a collection of poetry written by marginalized residents during weekly ses-sions at the Victoria Cool Aid Society’s Rock Bay Landing and Sandy Merriman House shelters, Peers Victoria Resource Society, Beacon of Hope House and the Addictions and Rehabilitation Centre at the Salvation Army.

“Some of the poems speak to

the loneliness of how it feels that the world doesn’t really want to see or hear you or acknowledge that you have needs,” said Don

McTavish, Cool Aid’s manager of shelters.

“I think one thing that they have in common is that they have felt passed by.”

Some of the budding poets read their work aloud during the launch of the book, July 31 at Rock Bay Landing.

The soft-cover poetry col-lection, edited by Dvora Levin, was funded by a grant from the Greater Victoria Spirit Commit-tee Society.

Though the book has been released, Cool Aid will con-tinue to offer writing programs for its residents, something McTavish is convinced brings positive results. “To be able to still express hope and desire (through poetry) speaks to the human spirit,” he said.

The book is available at Mun-ro’s Books for $20, with all pro-ceeds going to the participating shelters.

What began as a 32-page booklet produced on a manual typewriter and illustrated by hand has evolved into a series of books that sold more than 100,000 copies and continues to fund envi-ronmental initiatives.

In October 1972, the non-profit Vancouver Island Trails Information Society sold its first hik-ing guide, Hiking Trails I: Victoria and Vicinity, for $1 per booklet. It was reprinted by Christmas, setting sales records at downtown Victoria’s Eat-ons.

Over the last 40 years, the non-profit society has sold more than 100,000 copies with proceeds supporting trail creation, maintenance, map-ping and other environmental initiatives through organizations such as the Swan Lake Christmas Hill Nature Sanctuary and The Vancouver Island Spine Association. The society also provides scholarships to four post-secondary institutions.

To stay current for younger readers after 32 print editions, this year the society will become the first in Western Canada to publish e-versions of its hiking guides.

While the Capital Regional District has a very good trail system, there is room for some small improvements locally, said Eric Burkle, president of the society, which was first founded by mem-bers of the Outdoor Club of Victoria. New trails are in the works near the Sooke Potholes area.

“The concern has been access to existing trails,” Burkle noted. “We’ve lost access, because the timber companies have become concerned with liabilities – specifically, within the Cowichan Valley.”

The hiking guides cover the Greater Victoria area, south central Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands and northern Vancouver Island and are available in most local book and outdoor stores or online at hikingtrailsbooks.com.

A display showcasing the incarnations of the guides will be at the Nellie McClung library in August, Emily Carr in September and the

Esquimalt branch in [email protected]

Over stocked!OOOPS!

Why did the chicken cross the road? To escape the clutches of a homophobic

fast food restaurant.Crap, I screwed up

the punchline. It’s sup-posed to be: to escape the clutches of a fast food restaurant that supports traditional family values.

A few weeks back, Dan Cathy, the president of Chick-fil-A (an American chicken chain), was asked by a small Baptist news-paper whether he sup-ports same-sex marriage.

He indirectly answered the question, saying, “We are very much supportive of the family – the biblical definition of the family unit. We know that it might not be popu-lar with everyone, but thank the Lord, we live in a country where we can share our values and operate on biblical principle.”

Well Cathy was right about his views being unpopular.

Since then, a nationwide boycott of Chick-fil-A was launched and sup-ported by an overwhelming num-ber of Americans who defend gay marriage.

Cathy, the businessman, was mar-tyred because of his personal views, which don’t seem to be related to his business practices. His restau-rants still hire homosexuals and serve fried chicken to gay custom-ers, if they so choose to work or eat there.

And though I disagree whole-heartedly with Cathy’s stance on gay marriage, he’s absolutely right that he can openly share his values and operate on biblical principle, if

he so chooses.And he’s not alone.An Angus Reid poll from March of

this year suggest 48 per cent of Americans are still opposed to gay marriage. That means Cathy’s not alone by any means. Sta-tistically speaking, some 48 per cent of the own-ers of the businesses at which you shop share a similar view.

But 48 per cent is now a minority. And that minority is shrinking.

It seems Canada is more progressive, at 36

per cent opposition. But that’s still a high number.

And it’s likely – though I don’t want to generalize – that the major-ity of those who don’t support same-sex marriage probably oper-ate, like Cathy, on biblical princi-ples, or other religious scriptures.

To boycott a company whose president doesn’t share the same religious views as you is silly. To boycott a company whose presi-dent doesn’t share the same politi-cal views as you is ridiculous. But to boycott a company whose president openly supports a form of inequality is reasonable.

And it’s unfortunate the Chick-fil-A employees who don’t agree with Cathy’s stance – even those who do – are being branded and chastised for being affiliated with a homopho-bic company, but Cathy must’ve known the impact a public state-ment on this issue would have.

Not only that, apparently the company annually donates mil-lions of dollars to organizations and

groups that actively and openly oppose same-sex marriage.

That’s where I draw the line. Chick-fil-A doesn’t operate in Can-ada, so I can’t boycott it for reasons other than its unhealthy, deep-fried menu options.

It’s one thing for a businessman to come forward and state his stance on an issue – I may disagree with you, for reasons of equality or religion, but your views are your own. I wouldn’t boycott you for that.

However, it’s another thing entirely to use your company’s prof-its to finance groups whose sole objective is to deny equal rights to a portion of the population that includes some of your employees and customers. That’s boycott-worthy.

I realistically don’t expect to change anyone’s stance on gay mar-riage with this column. Your views, like mine, are founded in each of our upbringings and our under-standings of our social and political environments.

But I, like many, should thank Cathy for coming out and publicly stating his position on such a divi-sive issue – even if it makes no sense for a businessman to wade into the discussion.

At least there’s an awareness now of where money goes once it’s exchanged for Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Strips; I wouldn’t want to knowingly have my money finance discrimina-tory ventures.

Maybe more business owners should be as open.

OUR VIEW

Athletes’ legacy with communityIt’s been a tough year for a few of Victoria’s high-

profile athletes.After winning the Giro D’Italia and solidifying his

place as Canada’s premier cyclist, Ryder Hesjedal crashed out of the Tour de France, and middle-of-the pack outcomes in the Olympic road race and time trial, and no medals.

Last Saturday, 22-year-old Paula Findlay showed true grit and fought through an injury-plagued year to finish the women’s triathlon in last place (with a time of 2:12:09; that’s still a blistering pace. Consider this: the female winner of the Victoria Subaru Olympic-dis-tance triathlon came in at 2:28:07 ).

Findlay’s performance and subsequent apology set off a firestorm of controversy after fellow triathlete Simon Whitfield came to her defence, and criticized Triathlon Canada and Findlay’s coach for giving her poor guidance in recovering from a hip injury.

Then on Tuesday, Whitfield, the pride of Victoria as Canada’s Olympic flag bearer, crashed early in his race, ending his Olympic career in a way he, and the nation, never imagined.

But world-class athletes like Hesjedal, Findlay and Whitfield – not to mention medal winners men’s eight rowing, track cyclist Gillian Carleton and swimmer Ryan Cochrane – will continue to be local heroes, and will continue to exemplify the Olympic spirit.

The legacy of our local athletes doesn’t hinge on medals, but how they give back to the community. Whitfield has raised thousands for KidSport Victoria and mentors up-and-coming competitive triathletes. Hesjedal’s success spurred the Tour de Victoria and the Ryder’s Cycling Society of Canada to promote cycling locally and across the country.

Athletes such as Findlay and Carleton and rowers Lindsay Jennerich and Patricia Obee are mentoring the next generation of young women in their disci-plines, and will continue to be superb athletes to be reckoned with on the world stage.

Victoria is home, or the adopted home, of 32 ath-letes on this year’s Canadian Olympic team. With insti-tutions like Commonwealth Place, the Pacific Institute for Sport Excellence and the national team rowing facility at Elk Lake, these athletes will continue to train and inspire youth to stay fit and healthy, to push their limits and strive to be the best in the world.

We can be proud of what our Olympians have achieved in London, but the Games come and go. The impact of local athletes will be felt in the Greater Vic-toria community for years to come.

Olympic pageantryis over-the-top

On the eve of my eighth decade, I am contemplating the spectacular performances and events at the current Olympic Games.

Fleetingly, my thoughts return to Games of long ago, when all were amateurs (e.g. Chariots of Fire) and the great names included Owens, Zatopek, Nuurmi, Haag, etc. Champions all.

Today our world is in a chaotic state. Desperate human needs are being thwarted by a lack of funds, we are told (let them eat cake). Coincidentally, extravagant and garish opening and closing Olympic ceremonies – likely for

commercial profit – belie this sickening refrain. Public liability is the likely cost (remember Montreal in 1976?). It reminds one of Nero fiddling while Rome burned.

What has all this showmanship to do with athletic excellence and prowess?

Certainly, all praise to the athletes, and huge congratulations to medal winners, but please, cut the cost of the carnivals. Has greed and crass commercialism become the raison d’être, even at Olympic Games?

Spoil sport? No, create simple, sensible priorities.

High cost involvedto keep, transport deer

Re: Deer overpopulationI earned a living in game

management before retirement, so it’s easy for me to form my own opinion on the problem.

And before the many compassionate Walt Disney types get excited – long eyelashes and big ears are deadly – I would hate to be informed that the problem animals have been sent to another country on holiday. I’ve heard they want another $130 a month to keep the rabbits that were sent down there?

Whilst the West Coast is certainly not the United Kingdom, I wonder how many readers know

that six species of deer roam the British Isles, leaving them withan exploding population in excess of two million? Or that, despite the culling of 350,000 a year, it continues to increase?

Because of their secretive and nocturnal habits their numbers are difficult to assess.

Please, good people of Victoria, if you’ve got money to spare, why not remember the cancer fund, or remember to donate first to things like our new cancer hospital.

Are we going soft?Is there anybody in Sooke who

would mind a few bunnies at $130 a month each?

Lettersto the Editor

B.C.’s premier missed the mark on pipelineB.C.’s Christy Clark was right to

walk away from a national energy strategy promoted by Alberta’s Alison Redford at a provincial premiers’ meeting in Halifax in late July.

She just did it for the wrong reasons.

Clark said she won’t sign on unless B.C. is guaranteed a bigger share of benefits from the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline project. But all the money in China, Alberta, and Enbridge’s bank accounts won’t be enough to undo the damage from a major leak near one of the thousand waterways the dual pipeline would cross, or from a supertanker spill along the B.C. coast.

B.C.’s premier should have renounced the proposal because it’s focused more on tar sands, pipelines, and markets than on getting Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions under control by shifting from fossil fuel

dependency to a more efficient system based on conservation and renewable energy.

Canadians want and need an energy strategy.

We need it to combat the ever-increasing damage from global warming, to make better use of our resources, to ensure energy security for all Canadians, to respect the rights of aboriginal people, and to create long-term jobs and economic prosperity.

That calls for a better plan than quickly digging up all our bitumen and coal and selling it to China and fracking the hell out of every piece of ground that might have some gas in it.

Oil, gas, and coal are valuable and finite resources.

All represent energy from the sun that has been stored through photosynthesis and concentrated over millions of years.

We waste a lot of it, especially

when we burn it in private automobiles that use only about 15 per cent of the energy to move the car.

Because a car typically weighs 10 to 20 times more than its passengers, we’re only getting about one per cent efficiency from the fuel.

Instead of wasting 99 per cent of this complex and useful non-renewable chemical mix, we could use more of it to make everything from bicycle tires and computer keyboards to heart valves and artificial limbs. And surely we can even find more efficient and less polluting ways to use it for fuel.

A rational energy strategy – one that benefits Canadians more than multinational corporations and the repressive regime in China – would recognize the value of our limited resources not just for fuel and products but as a way to generate steady revenue to help us shift to renewable energy.

What would such a strategy look like?

It’s already too late to stop

global warming, but we can contribute to making it less severe.

That means shifting away from fossil fuels as quickly as possible. Canada would have to reduce its emissions by 80 per cent from 1990 levels by 2050 to do its part to avoid dangerous warming over 2° C.

Instead of doubling oil sands production, we need to reduce the energy we get from fossil fuels by more than 70 per cent.

The target is possible if we transform our energy system over the next 40 years, according to the Trottier Energy Futures Project, a joint effort between the David Suzuki Foundation and the Canadian Academy of Engineering.

Renewable energy use would have to double.

Energy production from non-hydro renewables such as wind, solar, and biomass would have to increase 150 times from today’s levels.

We would also have to make our country 50 per cent more energy efficient.

This could be accomplished by building only net-zero buildings by 2050 and retrofitting existing buildings to the highest efficiency standards.

It would take vision and commitment, including unlocking financing to enable energy efficient retrofits and renewable energy development, training workers to retrofit homes and install local renewable generation, building a flexible electricity grid, and converting refineries to biofuel production from biomass byproducts.

Although the 2007 plan Redford and her fellow leaders hope to build on mentions renewable energy and climate change, it doesn’t offer the bold vision needed to realize the many benefits – and the necessity – of reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.

We need a broad and comprehensive strategy.

Had Premier Clark embraced and articulated such a vision, she would have been seen as a real leader.

Music, casual dining mingle at Beach HouseA sleek, mahogany piano sits

tucked into a cozy corner downstairs in Cordova Bay’s newest eatery.

It’s quiet on this day. But if Kate Phoenix, owner-general manager of The Beach House restaurant, has her way, the area will be a big part of the success of her latest venture.

“This was sold by Alison Piano to McMorran’s back in 1920,” she says. “When we called them to come and refurbish it, they said ‘hey, we sold

that piano originally.’”The McMorran name may no

longer be on the business – the longtime family run operation shut down in 2010 – but the hope is that the musical atmosphere it cultivated over the years will continue at the new Beach House.

“It’s a musical place … (and) music is a big part of a lot of people’s lives at the restaurant,” Phoenix says.

Already doing a brisk business

since opening in late June, The Beach House is joining with the Victoria Conservatory of Music for a fundraiser event Aug. 12, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sales of two menu items, Dough-Re-Mi pizza and Fa-So-La-Tini cocktails – with or without alcohol – will benefit the Conservatory.

During the day, conservatory trained musicians such as rising violin star Ceilidh Briscoe, plus VCM

faculty, will perform upstairs in the main dining room and downstairs in the bistro.

“We felt it would be a wonderful opportunity to partner with the new Beach House,” said conservatory CEO Jane Butler-McGregor.

“Music was a huge part of the culture and the past of McMorran’s, and the fact Kate and her team are still wanting to put music forward tells us she wants to let that musical legacy live on.”

Phoenix, an Edmonton native and former vice-president of marketing for Rogers Chocolates, says the plan is to offer patrons a regular menu of light jazz or classics with their casual dining experience.

The restaurant is open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and closed on Tuesdays. They will be available for large parties, upstairs or down – but never both at the same time. Phoenix says they want to make sure there is always someplace available for people

who want to drop in.The Beach House is at

5109 Cordova Bay Rd. Call 250-658-5224 for reservations or information.

Business goings-onaround and about town

United Way of Greater Victoria appointed Jo-Anne Silverman as its director of fund development. Silverman comes to the charity after spending nine years as advancement manager with the Camosun College Foundation … Oak Bay Beach Hotel added Frank Berke to its sales team. The native of Tennessee owned and operated Brilliant Ideas Canada Ltd. for 24 years, with stores across B.C. and Alberta. He lived and worked in the Caribbean managing a luxury resort for six years … Vince Herlaar joined the financial planning firm of Hatch and Muir as an associate after working in the credit union industry. He can be located at 202-612 View St. … Pacific Christian School grad Ashley Schenk, who will attend Houghton College in New York this fall, won a $500 bursary from Bob Lane Insurance Services in Brentwood Bay, a division of SeaFirst Insurance Brokers. The money will help her pursue studies in math and actuarial sciences.

Kyle SlavinNews staff

Kristeen von Hagen’s first venture into the stand-up comedy world was at a club in Victoria in the

mid-90s.“It was terrifying. Everyone

knew it was my first time so they were super kind and polite … but your first attempt at stand-up is always questionable at best,” she says, now 15-plus years into her career as a comedienne.

“I remember doing this thing about driv-ing and being dis-tracted – looking over and seeing people brush their teeth and playing with the radio. I don’t know if they were even jokes.”

And while von Hagen’s been away from Victoria – where she was born and raised – since 1996, she says returning to per-

form is always unnerving.“My parents will come to at

least one show, and my aunts and uncles. A long time ago I was performing at a club and two girls I’d gone to high school with were in the audience. … I feel the pres-sure’s on a bit more in Victoria,” she says.

Next week (Aug. 15 to 19), von Hagen joins a terrific lineup of

comedians, including Brent Butt (of Corner Gas fame), for the Blue Bridge Comedy Festival.

“This is kind of my dream scenario,” says festival organizer Dan Quinn. He contacted all the best comedi-ans he knew, they all said yes, and the Blue Bridge Comedy Fest was born.

“It’s going to be an amazing weekend of entertainment, to get to see all these top

acts at once. If you’re a fan of comedy, you’re able to get a full

fix of acts you might never get to see otherwise... or for way more money,” Quinn says.

In addition to von Hagen and Butt, Blue Bridge will feature shows from Mark Maron, Nikki Payne, Johnny Bagpipes, Sean Proudlove, Damonde Tschritter, Peter White, Paul Myrehaug and Rob Pue.

Von Hagen says her lengthy resumé of experience on stage has helped ease her mind from those first few shows in Victoria, Vancouver and Toronto.

“I no longer have that fear that I’m going to die or it’s going to be a nightmare. I remember a time where I would be phoning in for spots and I would be upset if I

didn’t get a spot and I was hor-rified if I did, because I knew I would have to go do it,” she says.

Stand-up comedy remains an “old boys’ club,” she says, though she doesn’t understand why that is.

“There’s still a lot of people, men and women, who see a woman get on stage and get put off,” she says. “And periodi-cally you hear, ‘there’s no funny women.’ That doesn’t make sense. You’ve never had a funny aunt or wife? Your girlfriend has never made you laugh? That, to me, seems insane.”

Laura LavinNews staff

Richard Wong is an artist, and no one is more surprised by it than the artist himself.

Now 58, he picked up a paint brush for the first time in early 2011. “My partner Jackie (Swan) asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I said, ‘maybe a sketch pad.’ I don’t know why I even said that.”

The water colour kit sat unopened for a while, then Wong registered for an art class at the Esquimalt Recreation Centre. “One of the first water colours I painted was a hut. Then when I painted behind it, I just touched the hut with the water and it dis-appeared. It was very frustrat-ing. I almost quit,” he said.

Instead, he signed up for Chi-nese brush lessons with Kileasa Wong, the foremost teacher of traditional Chinese painting in Victoria. At the end of his second session of classes the instruc-tor told him his work was “good enough to sell.”

“That just planted a seed in me,” he said.

From there Wong, who has lived in Esquimalt for seven years, dove into the art world,

expanding his horizons with Western brush technique and showing his work at the Victoria Look Show. “I was very appre-hensive about it,” said Wong. “I was not quite sure I was ready.”

During the show he was approached by Greater Victoria Community Arts Council presi-dent Bob Williams, who asked him to join the board. “I’m like: ‘say what?’ Those things don’t happen to me.”

Wong joined the board in May. He was resident artist at Abkhazi Gardens and artist in residence at Fort Rodd Hill and Fisgard Lighthouse National Historic Sites in July where he taught an introduction to Chinese Brush

Painting workshop.“It was fun. It was over capac-

ity with people who wanted to take the class. I was taken by sur-prise. I thought, I’ve just started to learn and here I am standing in front of a crowd,” he said with awe in his voice.

After a 25-year career in the ministry of environment, Wong retired in 2009. Up until his unusual request for a sketch pad he “didn’t have an artistic bone” in his body, but now gets great pleasure from creating his fusion of eastern and western methods.

“As long as I’m painting and I continue to be enjoying it and satisfied, I’ll keep going,” said Wong. The public can meet Wong and see him work at the Esquimalt Arts Festival on Aug. 12. The festival runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the English Inn and Resort, 429 Lampson St.

Painters, photographers, musicians, carvers and other local artists will be displaying and demonstrating their art. There will be creation stations where families can participate in free art projects. Learn more about Wong at richardwongwatercolors.ca.

In a unique turn of events, a married couple will cruise Vancouver Island as part of the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock.

Const. Dorothy Junio, the Oak Bay police school resource officer, will tackle the Tour de Rock alongside husband Const. Jett Junio of Saanich police.

They are the first married couple to take part in the Canadian Cancer Society fundraiser.

“You only get to do it once and to do it together …,” Dorothy

began. “It’s a unique opportunity for sure,” Jett

finished. “We have the luxury of debriefing everything we do from work to riding because we’re on the same page.”

They also share in fundraising responsibilities and aside from police work, in a local business as well. Jett returns to the Saanich police ranks in January after an 18-month leave to run Riders Cycles, a bicycle business on Cloverdale Avenue that the couple purchased a year ago.

The Junios came to Victoria four years ago after long careers with the Edmonton Police Service.

Cops for Cancer fundraisers were

rooted in Edmonton. The Island-wide ride, Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock, developed from those events in the mid-1990s.

“We knew the event (in Edmonton) was raising funds for kids with cancer, but the magnitude didn’t hit us until we got here,” Jett said.

“The fever we didn’t feel until we got to the Island,” Dorothy added. “The whole Island embracing it is amazing.”

With their kids, Adam and Ethan hitting 16 and 17 this year, they felt an opportunity to make a commitment to the cause. Plus it’s a year of milestones for the pair; both turned 50, celebrated 25 years of policing and it’s the 15th year of the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock.

Then there’s the illness itself. Dorothy’s mom developed cancer (she’s faring well right now), and suddenly they saw it throughout their peers.

“It became a big deal,” Dorothy said. The biggest hurdles won’t be the

kilometres-long hills or rainy days spent on a bike.

“It’s going to be the emotions,” Dorothy said. “You sometimes have to battle that along with the physical.”

As for the highs, just participating and seeing people dig deep to give is already providing those.

“The ride itself is secondary,” Jett said. “It’s a vehicle to reach out to people for a greater cause: the kids.”

“You only get to do it once and do it together …”– Const. Dorothy Junio

TO LOVE, HONOUR AND …Police officers Jett and Dorothy Junio are the first married couple to take on Tour de Rock CYCLE FOR KIDS

Christine van Reeuwyk/Black Press

Police officers Dorothy and Jett Junio, owners of Riders Cycles in Saanich, will be the first married couple to take on the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock ride this fall.

Locals win some and lose some at the Olympic GamesTravis PatersonNews staff

Simon Whitfield’s early morn-ing wipeout on Tuesday should go down as a minor blip in his glorious triathlon career.

But for now, it’s drawing a lot of national attention. Perhaps too much.

The 37-year-old Victoria resident, who already has a gold and silver from the 2000 and 2008 Games, crashed his bike immediately out of the first transition of the London 2012 men’s triathlon. The resulting injuries forced him to withdraw from the event.

“Not how I envisioned this chap-ter ending,” Whitfield said through Triathlon Canada.

“It’s been a remarkable Olympic journey, more than I could have ever imagined. I’ve had two incred-ible Olympics, one not really good (Athens 2004) and then this.”

Fellow Victoria-based triathletes Kyle Jones (1:49:58) and Brent McMahon (1:50:03) finished 25th and 27th, while Great Britain’s Alistair Brownlee, who was the favourite, won gold in a time of one hour, 46 minutes and 25 seconds.

Even with the crushing blow of dropping out, Whitfield’s outlook hasn’t strayed from a month ago, when he said medal or no medal, he’d be playing in a London park with his kids on Wednesday.

“I’ve got some stitches, my knees are sore, my collar bone hurts, but all in all I’ll be out in the park.”

Respect for rowersAll hail the men’s heavyweight

eight, which won silver and lived up to all the hype as a one of Canada’s most powerful crews of all time.

The crew was led by captain and Victoria native Malcolm Howard, as well as 2008 returnees coxswain Brian Price and Andrew Byrnes.

It was a sweet win for the crew that could no doubt be just as for-midable on a rugby pitch.

Just as great, for those who missed it, are spare rower Kevin Light’s photos taken during his time with the team’s pre-Olympic camp in Italy. The former Olympic gold medallist’s behind-the-scenes shots are well worth checking out on his Flickr site.

One of Canada’s most outspoken athletes at the London Olympics comes from right here in Saanich.

Lindsay Jennerich partnered with fellow Saanichite Patricia Obee in the lightweight women’s double. They missed out on qualifying their boat for the A final, but regrouped to win the B final and finish seventh overall.

Prior to departing, Jennerich blogged a fiery statement, one which largely went unnoticed. “I feel that so many believe we are just some second choice (team) ... Well frankly, I’m sick of it and I’m done listening to those opinions.”

Jennerich, 29, continued by stand-ing up for Obee, 20, who she felt was deserving of greater respect going into the Games.

The rowing season is far from over. Next up for Rowing Canada is the 2012 World Rowing Champi-onships, Aug. 15 to 19 in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.

Former UVic Vikes Darcy Mar-

quardt and Rachelle Viinberg (nee de Jong) won silver in the wom-en’s lightweight eight. Gabe Bergen and Doug Csima of the silver medal men’s eight are also UVic alumni.

Carleton sprints to bronzeCyclist Gillian Carleton came out

of the slipstream of anonymity to win bronze for Canada in the track cycling team pursuit.

Victoria’s Carleton, along with Tara Whitten (Edmonton) and Jas-min Glaesser (Coquitlam) took turns going as hard as they could for 12 laps of the 250m velodrome track. The trio averaged 54.52 kilometres per hour, completing the race in three minutes, 17.915 seconds, just a shade ahead of Australia.

Cochrane a step closerSaanich swimmer Ryan Cochrane

is now a two-time Olympic medal-list, winning a silver medal in the 1,500m freestyle on Aug. 4.

Cochrane beat his bronze medal time from Beijing 2008, finishing 8.5 seconds behind gold medal winner Yang Sun of China, who won with a time of 14 minutes, 31.02 seconds.

“I showed I’m still progressing,” Cochrane said. “To be faster than four years ago is fantastic.”

Saanich edge host Westshore at Jr. B lacrosse provincials Travis PatersonNews staff

It took the entire junior B provincial lacrosse tourna-ment, but the Saanich Tigers got their win and a bronze medal.

The Kamloops Venom won gold, beating the Delta Island-ers 6-3 on Sunday afternoon.

Earlier on Sunday, the Tigers enjoyed its only win of the four-game, four-team tour-nament held at Bear Mountain Arena, with a 7-3 defeat of host Westshore Bears.

Reborn as a franchise last year by coach Chris Jackson, the Tigers won the Pacific

Northwest Junior Lacrosse League playoffs in July in series wins over the Peninsula Warriors and Cowichan Valley Thunder.

The Bears earned a bye as hosts while the Venom and Islanders entered as the respective champions of the Thompson Okanagan and West Coast junior leagues.

Kamloops went undefeated and qualified for the Founders Cup national championship held in Six Nations, Ont. next week, Aug. 14 to 19.

Leading the Tigers in scor-ing in the bronze-medal game on Sunday was Saanich cap-tain Ethan Garland with three goals, two of them into an empty net at the end of the game.

Clutch goals from Quinton Hamilton and Craig King kept the Tigers in it, while goal-keeper Jared Jackson was

named the Tigers’ MVP of the game with 33 saves.

Nolan Ryan, Sam Chias-son and Kelly Schiarizza each scored once for the Bears.

The Bears named Tristan Calve their MVP for his hustle.

The Bears had defeated the Tigers 11-8 in the first game of the tournament on Friday morning.

B.C. doubles at nationals

Thirteen-year-old Elle Ham-ilton of Langford was the only player on home soil as Team B.C. won the girls ban-tam lacrosse nationals at Bear Mountain Arena, July 29 to Aug. 3.

B.C. defeated Ontario 4-3 in the gold medal final, a rematch of Ontario’s 4-3 overtime win in their round robin match.

In the midget division, home-town girls Kat Gosselin, 16, of Colwood and Talia Mavin, 15, of Langford, spurred Team B.C. to a 4-2 win over Ontario in the gold medal game.

Silver lining for intermediates

The intermediate A (17- and 18-year-olds) Victoria Sham-rocks nearly won its second B.C. championship in three years while the Juan de Fuca Whalers nearly won their fourth straight Int. B title as both made the provincial gold medal finals in Burnaby on Monday.

Both came up short, how-ever, with the New Westmin-ster Salmonbellies edging the Shamrocks 12-9, and the Port Moody Thunder beating the Whalers 10-8.

Target events start at 10 a.m. on Friday and Saturday (Aug. 10 and 11) at Juan de Fuca, culminating with a single-elimination Canadian Open event starting 9 a.m. on Sunday.

United under-21 men win trophy

Travis PatersonNews staff

Sixteen-year-old Michael Baart’s mid-season arrival proved to be the final piece of the puzzle for the Victoria United under-21 soccer team.

Baart, a St. Michaels Univer-sity School student, scored twice in the final on Sunday to push United past host Chilliwack FC in the Pacific Coast Soccer League’s Challenge Cup final, 3-1.

“Baart only played 20 minutes, coming on at half, then coming off again because he was feeling quite queezy out there,” said United coach Drew Brittain.

United finished second in the league standings behind Kam-loops. But in the semifinal on Friday, Kamloops fell prey to host Chilliwack, the fourth-place team, which took advantage of playing at home.

The most dramatic moment of the weekend was captain Jared

Atchison’s game-win-ning goal in the final minute, as United squeaked past West Vancouver 3-2.

“It was (Atchison’s) only goal of the entire season, unbeliev-able,” Brittain said.

Nils Webber scored the first goal of the final before Baart scored his two. United goalie Ryan Hulstein was named MVP of the final.

The 23-year-old is one of five over-age players permitted on the U-21 team.
