Maybe it was nerves in front of the crowd, but when Rob Reid paid tribute to Betty Fox, the words just didn’t come out

right.It was 2008, and Reid was taking part in

a cross-country tour with Terry Fox’s van, restored by the Ford company.

Much of the Fox family flew out to St. John’s, Nfld. for the van’s unveiling in the city where Terry started his epic run for cancer research.

“I’m not a professional MC, so I ended up talking about the Ford company, but at the same time was introducing the matriarch of the (Terry Fox) foundation and the family,” recalled Reid, owner of Frontrunners.

“I referred to Betty as Betty Ford. I got sort of a half laugh-glare from Betty and that’s a look that you never forget.”

The two knew each other well by then. Reid got involved with the family when

he started working toward a Terry Fox statue for the 25th anniversary of his epic run for cancer research.

On Sunday (Sept. 18), he’ll give another tribute to Betty, who died on June 17, at a ceremony to launch the 31st annual Terry Fox Run at Mile Zero, beside Terry’s statue.

Betty turned her grief into a mission to carry on Terry’s cause, said Reid. “She ended up spending all of her time travelling the world to get the message out and to raise more and more research dollars.”

She was strong-willed and didn’t mince words, but she was also nurturing.

“Betty was sort of everybody’s mom,” said Reid, adding she also kept the foundation on the “right road.”

In a scene straight out of a class-room, Manuel Achadinha grabbed a marker and headed for the white-board at the front of the room.

Members of the Victoria Regional Transit Commission and B.C. Tran-sit staff watched Tuesday morning as B.C. Transit’s presi-dent and chief executive officer drew three lines on the board, accompa-nied by a few key words, to plot out steps in the proposed $950-million light-rail rapid transit project.

That’s when mem-bers learned the LRT business report, now in the hands of B.C.’s Ministry of Transporta-tion and Infrastructure, cost $3.1 million, which has already been spent by the ministry and the commission.

“It’s basically an application to get in the door,” said Achadinha, noting the report is a critical step in getting the province on board as a light rail cost-shar-ing partner, which, in turn, could help secure federal financial sup-port.

The next phase of the LRT project, which has not yet begun, will fea-ture the development of a $5-million business case that will include legal, engi-neering, accounting and other proj-ect details. In addition to divvying up that cost between the commis-sion and the province, B.C. Transit hopes the federal government will contribute.

A third-party review will be con-ducted during that phase.

But some commission members balked when they heard the tally of the paperwork costs.

Saanich Coun. Susan Brice, who sits at the commission table, called their reaction to the news “sticker shock.”

Commission members and tax-payers should not be finding out about expensive LRT reports dur-ing a whiteboard lesson, said Vic-toria Coun. John Luton, who sits at

the commission table.“It’s not fair,” he said. “I understand and share the frus-

tration. But for me, it’s like how do we work through this rather than get indignant and walk away.”

This is a reminder of how imper-ative it is that the LRT numbers be in the public domain, so taxpayers remain confident in the rapid-tran-

sit plan and the process, Luton said.

It also highlights the need for a new transit governance author-ity, said Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin, who serves on the commission. The push is on for the Capi-tal Regional District to take over from the com-mission.

“I think there are some decisions being made at the B.C. Transit board that should be shared with the commission members, and prefer-ably before the deci-sions are being made,” he said.

Frank Leonard couldn’t contain his dis-appointment and grow-ing frustration at the meeting.

The commission was told in 2008 the report would cost $700,000 to $800,000, not $3.1 mil-lion, said the Saanich mayor and commission member.

Since the expenses only came to light on

Tuesday, he said it points to the need for more transparency in the way B.C Transit does business.

“It’s like dealing with the Wiz-ard of Oz,” said Leonard. “It’s all behind the curtain. There’s no transparency.”

Despite the hefty price tags, it’s important to keep those report costs in perspective, said Oak Bay Mayor and commission chair, Christopher Causton.

While Causton said the $7.1-million cost of planning a billion-dollar LRT service is expensive, it’s comparable to other big-ticket regional items.

“You’ve spent $10 million on a billion-dollar sewage treatment plan,” he said.

Some of the English language’s most common sayings and clichés are the product of an influential text celebrating its 400th anniversary this year.

The King James Bible is responsible for the birth of dozens of common sayings, such as “by the skin of my teeth,” “woe is me,” “the blind leading the blind” and “no rest for the wicked.”

“It was (published) around the same time as Shakespeare’s plays,” said Ian Alexander, the chair of the organizing committee for an upcoming celebration. “The English language (was) really being formed. People who know say the King James Bible and Shakespeare are two most influential works in terms of shaping the English language.”

These sayings and thousands of other phrases will be read aloud at Christ Church Cathedral next week, as the church celebrates the anniversary of this version of the Bible.

Author David Crystal wrote in his book Begat: The King James Bible and the English Language that there are 257 familiar English expressions that

stem from the King James Bible.The King James version was so influential

because it made the holy book readable for the public, said Alexander, a parishioner at Christ Church for four years.

“It was written to be read aloud,” he added. “That’s why we’re doing what we’re doing here. We’re reading it aloud cover to cover.”

Between Monday (Sept. 19) and Saturday (Sept. 24), people can sign up to read passages from the Bible at Christ Church Cathedral. Readings run from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., and some sections will be read in the main nave as well as the upstairs chapel simultaneously, so the whole 900,000-word book can be presented.

Well-known Victoria personalities will read some passages, including CBC Radio host Jo-Ann Roberts, Times Colonist columnist Jack Knox and author Kit Pearson.

To sign up to read a 15-30 minute passage, registration forms are available at the Cathedral, 930 Burdett Ave., or at www.christchurchcathedral.bc.ca.

The public is welcome to listen to any of the readings.

A fire that recently broke out on the Royal Canadian Navy’s flagship submarine at CFB Esquimalt won’t sink the navy’s plans to submerge the boat by the end of September.

“We’re going to go ahead as scheduled,” said Cmdr. Christo-pher Ellis, captain of HMCS Vic-toria.

“It’s the opportunity for the crew to actually come together and sail onboard the subma-

rine.”Grey smoke was seen coming

out the top of Victoria’s com-munications mast on Sept. 6 at 10:15 a.m. during a routine radi-ation hazard survey the vessel was undergoing.

The submarine was brought to emergency stations, and at least six submariners were evacuated from the vessel, moored at a CFB Esquimalt jetty, said Ellis, adding there were no injuries.

The high-tech mast, which allows the crew to transmit data and communicate with aircraft

or ships, as well as shore author-ities, will soon be removed and examined for damage, said navy Capt. Don Smith, command-ing officer of Fleet Maintenance Facility at HMC Dockyard.

A technical investigation will soon be launched by the navy to assess the extent of the damage and the cause of the fire once a team is selected, said Smith, whose workers have spent the past five years improving Victo-ria and preparing her for weap-onization.

Anti-smart meter rally set for Sunday

A rally protesting the installation of smart meters, which B.C. Hydro is currently undertaking on residences in Greater Victoria and throughout the province, happens in front of the B.C. legislature on Sunday (Sept. 18).

The event is being organized in response to growing concerns that electromagnetic radiation emitted by the wireless devices can adversely affect people’s health.

The claims have been disputed by B.C. Hydro.

Three organizations are staging the rally: Citizens for Safe Technology, Stop Smart Meters B.C. and Electromagnetic Radiation Health Alliance of B.C.

The rally happens from 2:30 to 4 p.m.

For details please call Sharon Noble at 250-478-7892 or Tammy Jeske at 250-478-9881, both of whom are organizers with Citizens for Safe Technology.

Police are warning bank ATM users to be extra cautious, as fraudsters are stealing people’s debit card information in Greater Victoria.

Saanich police have discov-ered multiple machines that have been modified to record a user’s PIN. A false front to the machines incorporated either a camera or a device to record keypad strokes.

Sgt. Dean Jantzen won’t say how many tampered machines have been identified locally or where they were located. How-ever, he said police are making headway in tracking down the individuals involved.

“There is footage of the people who are doing this, and that’s forming part of our investiga-tion,” he said.

In certain cases, small pinhole cameras are installed above a PIN pad to record you entering your PIN. This would also require somebody watching the video nearby on a laptop.

In other cases, machines are being compromised by a false card reader being installed on the

outside of the machine, which downloads debit information electronically.

Jantzen said bank users should report any suspicious activity to police or the bank. Specifically be on the alert for any individu-als sitting in a bank parking lot looking at a laptop, or if the face of your ATM looks strange.

“Do something. If something catches your attention, let us know,” Jantzen said.

So far, the only ATMs that have been targeted are the ones at banking institutions – both inside and outside. Small corner store ATMs have been targeted in the past.

A new employment program for people over 50 is drawing signifi-cant attention.

The day after its launch on Mon-day, Third Quarter employment program had just under 400 people registered for its services, which pairs applicants’ skills with employ-ers who seek their talent.

“The website is so busy … it was lost to some for a while,” said Jim Tighe, community co-ordinator for the Victoria branch of the program. “It’s been busy.”

The free service is funded by the federal Office of Literacy and Essen-tial Skills, and is managed locally by the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce.

Third Quarter targets people

in the third quarter of their lives, especially those in or near retire-ment. In can connect people to jobs or volunteer opportunities that fit their requirements for flexibility and hope to tap into the knowledge of people with many years of work under their belts.

For employers, Tighe said, “We think that we will face another day when there is a skills shortage. The Baby Boomers are moving out and that leaves voids.

“We have great talent here to draw on.”

As of Tuesday, 13 employers were signed on. Staff at Third Quarter will continue to recruit new businesses to get involved, Tighe said.

Employment database opens for 50+ workers

A recent survey shows 23 per cent of Greater Victoria employers across all sectors expect to hire new employees for the fourth quarter of 2011.

But the net hiring increase is 10 per cent, with 13 per cent of employers indicating they’ll likely make cutbacks in the near future, according to the Manpower Employment Outlook Survey.

“This year as the confidence level has grown in the marketplace, they (employers) brought people on sooner,” said Monica Star of Manpower’s Vancouver office.

The survey looks at the Capital Region’s private and public employers and determines a “hiring climate” for the upcoming quarter. They do so by asking whether employers plan to hire, cut back or hold steady in their staffing levels between October and December – the period when many business, especially retail, are at their busiest with the upcoming Christmas shopping season.

Walk highlights importance of getting tested Erin CardoneNews staff

Karen Dennis says she is lucky not to have HIV.As a drug user of 19 years, Dennis came across

her share of needles, which can transmit the dis-ease.

“By the grace of God, I guess, I never contracted HIV,” Dennis said.

Now that she’s the executive director of the Vic-toria AIDS Resource and Community Service Soci-ety, also known as VARCS, Dennis feels “so lucky to work with the underdogs” of the community – people who have HIV and are stigmatized because of their lifestyles.

“We’ve come a long way – it’s certainly not like it was 30 years ago. But now so much of the fund-ing is put towards the substance abuse population that people now are associating the disease with that population,” Dennis said.

“Gay men are still at a huge risk, particularly young gay men who were not around for the big epidemic” in the 1980s.

Dennis added youth are also at a high risk of contracting the disease, also in part because they didn’t experience the fear in the 1980s and some might believe the disease has been eradicated.

“People 25 and younger account for half of all new infections worldwide,” Dennis said. “A lot of people don’t get tested and that’s the other unfor-tunate part.”

She added people who have engaged in even just one high-risk activity – having sex without a condom or sharing a needle – should get tested for the disease.

In Greater Victoria, 1,500 people are known to have HIV.

To raise awareness of the disease and to raise money for AIDS research, VARCS is helping to host the Scotiabank AIDS Walk for Life on Sept. 21. Peo-ple are encouraged to walk, donate or volunteer for the event by going to www.aidswalkforlife.ca/victoria.htm.

“I was around 30 years ago and know a lot of people who passed away (from HIV-AIDS),” Den-nis said.

“I just feel that anybody who … has been touched by HIV or wants to see this disease stop being spread, join the walk because it honours those who paved the way and went through those horrible, brutal times of that pain and being disen-franchised. Many of them paid with their lives.”

On Thursday August 18, at approximately 12:30 a.m., an assault occurred on the west side of the 1000-block of Douglas St. in downtown Victoria.

Three males had left Club 919 at the Strathcona Hotel and were walking northbound when they were approached and confronted by a larger group of males.

One of these men, described as Caucasian, over 6’ tall, and either bald or with very short hair, accused the three males of harassing his girlfriend.

At this time another male came from behind the large male and “sucker punched” one of the three males to the head. The suspect fled southbound on Douglas Street, while other members of this larger group continued to try to provoke a fight.

The male victim of the punch required surgery for a shattered orbital bone. He has lost partial vision in one eye and will require further surgery.

Students win recycling awardB.C. schools bank $33K in bottle returnsNatalie NorthNews staff

Another year of camping trips at View Royal elementary will be funded through bottle returns – a fundraising trend spreading across Greater Victoria thanks to a recycling stewardship pro-gram.

Local schools have earned provin-cial honours – and cash – by recycling 472,262 beverage containers in 2010-11.

Through Encorp Pacific, schools across the province were given recycling bins and bags to help collect $33,733 in deposits.

Encorp’s B.C. Recycling Program allows schools to keep 100 per cent of the bottle deposits, in addition to awarding cash prizes for the schools that returned the most bottles based on their size.

With 100,103 containers returned and $7,112 in deposit refunds, View Royal beat out all other B.C. elementary schools with between 151 and 300 stu-dents. The nod came with $750 in prize money from Encorp.

View Royal has historically used the earnings from their bottle drives to fund

Grade 5 camping trips as well as any resources needed by its parent advisory council.

“It’s a win-win situation,” said Rob Parker, principal of the school. “I’m very proud of the students and parents and staff who worked so hard on the pro-gram last year. It’s pretty amazing to be named No. 1 and we’re excited to receive the award.”

Rogers elementary took B.C.’s top prize among schools with between 301 and 450 students. Rogers collected 49,182 containers, earning $3,855 in deposits, and the $750 prize. Glanford middle school collected 78,850 contain-ers worth $6,051.05 in deposits, landing them a third place prize of $250 for a secondary school with 200 to 500 stu-dents.

“It’s encouraging kids to recycle from a younger age,” said Manny Sahota, pro-gram coordinator for Encorp Pacific.

“What we’re noticing is when they get into high school, the kids are condi-tioned, or they have it ingrained in them, that they should be recycling at schools and when they’re out and about.”

Honourable mentions went to Cedar Hill, Dunsmuir, Spencer and Colquitz middle schools, as well as Colwood, Craigflower, Happy Valley, Ruth King and Strawberry Vale elementary schools. Spectrum community school also earned

an honourable mention, as did Lakeview Christian and St. Margaret’s schools.

Collectively, those schools returned 244,133 beverage containers.

Since the federally-funded program began in 2000, 37 million containers have been refunded for more than $2.2 million.

This year, the prize have increased to $1,000, $750 and $500.

Victoria police are concerned that the sight of a man walking in the Gorge area with three rifles slung over his shoulder didn’t prompt people to call them.

On Saturday at 11 p.m., a man walked from the Tillicum area to Government and Fort streets with three rifles fully visible.

Officers say he was walking from his resi-dence to a friend’s, because of a dispute with his roommate. He didn’t want to leave his guns at home.

The method of trans-portation was “bad judg-ment,” said Const. Mike Russell, but charges won’t be laid because police don’t think the 46-year-old man meant to harm anyone.

People seeking to transport registered firearms should call police to request the necessary papers.

All is not lost: Successful brain agingWednesday, September 21, 2011, 7:30 p.m.

Flury Hall, Bob Wright Centre

Woody Allen once said, “My brain is my second favourite organ.” In actuality, most of us would rank our brains even higher than that, in terms of what defines us. Amid that, one of the inevitabilities of life is that time takes its toll, and the brain is one of the most vulnerable organs to the ravages of aging. But the news is not purely grim.

Join Stanford University neuroscientist Dr. Robert Sapolsky for a fascinating and funny look at human beings’ favourite organ – the brain.

In this free public lecture meant for the layperson, Dr. Saplosky will enlighten and entertain. His gift for storytelling led the New York Times to suggest he is a cross between Jane Goodall and a borscht-belt comedian. Seating is based on first-come, first-served availability.

The lecture will be followed by a book signing at 8:45 p.m. with his books, Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers, and A Primate’s Memoir: A Neuroscientist’s Unconventional Life Among the Baboons.

On Thursday August 18, at approximately 12:30 a.m., an assault occurred on the west side of the 1000-block of Douglas St. in downtown Victoria.

Three males had left Club 919 at the Strathcona Hotel and were walking northbound when they were approached and confronted by a larger group of males.

One of these men, described as Caucasian, over 6’ tall, and either bald or with very short hair, accused the three males of harassing his girlfriend.

At this time another male came from behind the large male and “sucker punched” one of the three males to the head. The suspect fled southbound on Douglas Street, while other members of this larger group continued to try to provoke a fight.

The male victim of the punch required surgery for a shattered orbital bone. He has lost partial vision in one eye and will require further surgery.

OUR VIEW

I can remember the first politi-cal platform that I actually took the time to think about. It was on page 8 of the April 26, 1979 edition of the Ottawa Citizen in a story written by staff writer Linda Drouin. (I know these details because the paper’s archives are now avail-able online.)

The article was about the unveiling of a local candidate in a federal political party. Their plat-form included a proposal to return to the British custom of driving on the left side of the road.

In order to give Cana-dians time to adjust, the change would be done over a five-year period. In the first year, only trucks and buses would use the left side. The next year, “big Amercian trucks” would make the switch, fol-lowed by small imported cars in the third year and, in the final year, two-wheeled vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles and wheelchairs.

On first read I crinkled my nose and looked around for someone to share my disbelief. Then I got it. The idea was meant to be ridicu-lous.

I was still in elementary school, but the Rhino Party had made such an impression on me that I spent the next day trying to explain their politics to befuddled classmates.

And while the image of cars caught up in a chaotic policy switch was silly enough to capture the

imagination of an 11-year-old, the satire also helped shed some light on the very real issue of bureau-cratic foolishness plaguing the gov-ernment.

Other Rhino policies of the day included leav-ing the corner of the dol-lar bill blank so cashiers could pencil in the value at the time of transaction. This in an era when most commentary about our battered currency was either dire or abstruse or both.

The Rhinos made many issues facing Canadians accessible in ways that only good satire can.

The humour offended some – the Rhinos actually had 53 candidates, which shocked plenty of people who didn’t have any sense of hee-haw. The original Rhino party disbanded in 1993, after a dispute about a new rule that required par-ties to run candidates in at least 50 ridings, with each paying a fee of $1,000.

A new party bearing the Rhino flag was reborn in 2007 and fielded 14 candidates in the 2011 federal election. A dozen were in Quebec but B.C. and Alberta also had one candidate each.

So far they’ve failed to capture Canadians’ imaginations on the scale their forebears did.

Satire, as good as it is at shedding light on dense subjects, is very diffi-cult to pull off well. Finding the right

mix of irony and sarcasm is critical.It can come across as angry, even

hateful, if not done with care. At one time, satirical columns

were common in newspapers but these days most editors are wary of risking the trust of readers. That, and the fact readers are inundated with websites that miss the mark when they attempt satire, but really deal in mock news that’s more mis-information than clever commen-tary.

There are still great sources of satire, of course. Stephen Colbert remains hugely popular around the world and The Onion magazine’s website provides constant fodder for people to share through sites like Facebook. If you can relate to the Brits, the U.K. also continues to pump out comedians with that rare ability to skewer sacred institutions while tickling your funny bone.

In Canada, Rick Mercer started his new season this week. Mercer’s rants consistently find that sweet spot between comedy and crass-ness. And locally I suppose we’ve seen successful satire with the now-retired Mr. Floatie and his campaign for sewage treatment.

I’m curious what you think about the state of satire. I know many of our letter writers have a rapier-like wit and can take a poke at some of the issues affecting us on a regional, provincial or national level. Let’s see you try.

Tired politics in need of fresh satire

‘Satire helped shed light on the very real issue of bureaucratic foolishness.’

Show us thatLRT money

If B.C. Transit’s executives don’t want to come across as Lyle Lanley, they had better scale back their sales pitch and start working a little harder on ensuring local taxpayers get the transparency they’re demanding.

Lanley was the silver-tongued pitchman for the monorail in one of the more memorable episodes of The Simpsons. If you’ve never seen the show, it’s enough to say the story of a love

affair with a form of light rapid transit ended badly.

In Greater Victoria, there’s no denying the vast majority of people would love to

see LRT in our region. The promise of greener transportation that provides an alternative to getting mired in the Colwood Crawl is enthralling.

However, taxpayers simply can’t go ahead with LRT regardless of the cost. And the big problem we’re seeing in the early stages of the plan is that big money is already being spent without any real accountability to the people who will foot the bill.

A business report has already been completed at a cost of $3.1 million – an amount that came as a surprise to the regional transit commission, whose representatives we entrust with protecting the best interests of their communities.

That cost was split between the province and local taxpayers, who fund the commission.

Another $5 million, which may or may not also be shared by the feds, is already earmarked for a business case that will add details to the $1-billion plan for LRT.

Before that money is spent, B.C. Transit needs to take a step back and reassure the public that it has secured federal and provincial grants to cover the cost of its grand plan.

If it can’t, local taxpayers must be consulted on whether we’re willing to risk going ahead with the project without assurances that we won’t be left paying the bill – after it’s too late to rethink our LRT love affair.

Transit needs to curb its LRT enthusiasm

LETTERS

Ole Heggen (Opinion, Sept. 9) has done it again.His brilliant cartoon, Notable Moments: Former B.C.

Premier Gordon Campbell, deftly summarizes many of the highlights of Mr. Campbell’s career including tearing up health workers’ legally binding contracts, being arrested for impaired driving and imposing the HST - followed by receipt of the Order of B.C.

Perhaps the sale of B.C. Rail – after promising not to sell the W.A.C. Bennett legacy – is another clanger that one might add.

Perhaps Mr. Heggen could produce another cartoon along the lines of the Monty Python “Confuse a Cat” skit regarding Premier Christy Clark and the

B.C. Liberals as the “Confuse a Cat” Ltd. – and the B.C. public as the cat that eventually walks away in disgust at the bizarre performance of the Liberals.

Or how about Christy as an Olympic diver who perfects a double flip-flop with a twist including her families-first cliche and her various “fixes” of the HST?

Surely Christy is the queen of flip-flops who claimed for six months she needed a mandate as premier, and now ignores her previous position as support for Adrian Dix and the New Democrats grows.

Letters tothe editor Re: Backward thinking behind

wildlife cull (Letters, Sept. 9)I was amused by letter writer

Diana Monks’ remarks. She advised us “to avoid wildlife, I suggest you move to an urban centre, where you may be happier.”

A week earlier I was almost run over by a four-point stag galloping out of a hedge in front of a parking lot on Birch Street.

The deer ran into the street; luckily the traffic was stopped due to a red light. He eventually disappeared into the nearby park. It was a breathtaking experience.

Ms. Monks advice about moving to an urban centre is of course silly and useless. In the past few years, deer have been spotted all over the downtown core, and I recall one even entered a children’s store.

The real problem the deer create, apart from nibbling away at some backyard gardens, is drawing in the cougars.

I hope I never see a cougar on Fort Street!

Re: Backward thinking behind wildlife cull (Letters, Sept. 9)

After reading Diana Monks’ letter I was glad that there is another

person who shares my view.I visited the Island and Vancouver

from the United Kingdom and was overwhelmed with their beauty, but disappointed at seeing how development in the hills and forests is taking over.

England had bears and cougars once. Now we can only see them at the zoo. Don’t let it happen here.

I came over to see the bears and cougars and ventured into the wild at my own risk to see one but never did, although I heard many accounts of them being shot during my stay.

I soon fly back to the United Kingdom with a different view of Victoria of becoming just another city full of development. I’m glad I saw some of its beauty before it is destroyed.

If Diana or other people with the same views would like to email me for chats, I would be pleased to hear from them. My email is [email protected].

I’m burning my NDP membership

For the record, yes, I am a card-carrying member of the NDP, and

have been since 1969. The NDP is a party of which

I have been proud to be a card-carrying member.

Lately, though, the party has made some questionable choices I find distasteful.

We’ve got serious problems, and we need serious people, if we are to become a better party.

Burning my membership card is one answer.

If you want to talk about character and social values, fine. Just tell me where and when, and I’ll show up.

But if this party is to truly evolve to be considered a government contender, it needs the right people at the helm, and the rhetoric and sleaze of late, must go.

Birds, squirrels and cats – oh my!

Every year for the past 10 years or so, I have raised wild chickadees.

This year the flock was about 15. Now there appears to be only one. Squirrels and cats eat the birds.

If you have a cat and you put a bell on its collar, this reduces its kills by 70 per cent.

Erin HaluschakBlack Press

Former Tour de Rock rider Phil Hochu has not only a new perspective, but a new appreciation

of the Port Alberni hump.Hochu, a corporal with the

military police at 19 Wing Comox who participated in the 2010 Tour de Rock ride, recalled one of the most difficult parts of the route across Vancouver Island — head-ing west.

“We did a lot of preparation for the race; hill nights every Tues-day in Nanaimo, sprint and chase Thursdays in Coombs and long distance Sundays from the Comox Valley to Campbell River and back. There are a lot of difficult spots all over the Island, but one of the hard-est was the Port Alberni hump and Hydro Hill (towards Tofino) was short but super steep,” explained Hochu.

“We always went up (the hills) at our own pace, and going as fast as our slowest rider,” he added.

Hochu added in addition to the major challenge of the elevation change heading west, the weather added another twist to the hills.

“Heading from Port Alberni to Ucluelet, we were the first team to be actually taken off the road because the rain and wind became too much to handle. There was so much water everywhere that our brakes actually stopped working,” he noted.

Following a Tour de Rock tradi-tion, the group of riders jumped into Kennedy Lake for a quick swim.

“We were completely soaked (from the rain), so it didn’t matter at that point. We wanted to keep the tradition going.”

Despite the challenge of riding uphill, Hochu said coasting back down upon return to the east side of the Island provided some of the more enjoyable, relaxing moments of the ride.

“We had a fun time coming off the hump. (The riders) would space ourselves coming out of Port Alberni and we coasted down. It was a good time, because we could relax a bit to balance the other times that would be intense.”

Hochu explained Mount Wash-ington in the Comox Valley pro-vided an excellent location for additional hill training, and also prepared him for some of the

sights he would end up seeing along the trek.

“There was a bear as we were going up the mountain, and we saw a million deer along the way,” he said, and added despite his knowledge of Island landscape,

viewing the topogra-phy by bike allowed him to appreciate the scenery from a different perspec-tive.

“Driving the Island by car is nothing compared to doing it by cycling. You’re able to look around and see the wilder-ness,” he said.

Another set of major hills was com-ing out of Woss into Sayward, explained Hochu, although he said cycling into the small towns on the north part of the

Island provided him with some of his favourite memories.

“When the Tour rolls into the towns, they make you feel like a rock star. At the events, it seems like half the town shows up. There’s such an essence of community in

those places,” he added.Heading south, Hochu admit-

ted the Malahat was not quite as difficult of a challenge as he had expected.

“Of course it’s hard, but we were pretty strong as a team; the train-ing definitely helped,” he said.

Hochu explained the hardest part about the Malahat stretch was not the actual ride itself, but a meet-and-greet event in Mill Bay just prior to the climb.

“I was talking to a woman, just about five minutes before we were supposed to take off. She intro-duced us to her 16-day-old daugh-ter who was born with cancer. That just gave us all a shot of intensity and inspiration to push on.“There are always moments of soreness, and everyone com-plains from time to time, but then you meet a kid or talk to someone — especially at Camp Goodtimes — and you just all put it into per-spective,” he said.

Now there are more than 9,000 Terry Fox Runs taking place in every province in Canada every year.

During the past handful of years, Graham and Doug Lamb have organized the race in Victoria.

For the brothers, the race also has a special connection to their own mother.

June Lamb died of cancer at age 51.“She started complaining about pain in her hip

around Thanksgiving,” said Graham. She died on June 21, 1981, exactly one week before Terry Fox.

“She met Terry,” he said. She also inspired her sons to stay healthy and stay active.

This year, the brothers hope to attract 1,000 runners to Mile Zero, a 50-per-cent jump over last year when the weather didn’t co-operate.

“It was the worst downpour I’ve ever been in,” Graham said.

He’s made a couple of changes this year to help bring out the crowds. For starters, the race starts at 10:30 a.m. rather than 9 a.m.

Second, he’s combining the race with the annual Terry Fox Great Canadian Hair”do,” which used to take place on the Friday before the race.

“There’s not a lot of people watching at 4 p.m. on Friday,” said event organizer Linda Johnstone.

Under a big tent, a team of five volunteer hair-stylists will supervise “VIP head shavers” includ-ing Olympic athlete Silken Laumann and city coun-cillors John Luton and Charlayne Thornton-Joe.

While hairstyling or trimming is available, every-one chooses to have their head shaved, said John-stone.

There is no minimum donation or fundraising to register for the run or hair cut.

The race itself has no budget as it’s entirely volunteer run. Volunteers themselves donate the money for any expenses such as city permits

“It’s tough to put this run on because we don’t have corporate sponsors,” Graham said, adding some companies do contribute, but many want recognition in exchange.

Beyond a visible logo, no advertising is allowed at this race.

“That’s not what Terry wanted,” said Graham. “He was doing it for kids.”

The topic of Israel’s role in the ongoing conflict with the Palestinians will likely be debated for years to come.

But a Victoria-area group espousing the traditional biblical values and teach-ings is hoping to build more understand-ing and compassion among people on both sides of the discussion.

“We’re not taking sides, but we’re against terrorism,” said Irene Bryant, a director with King Centered Perspec-tives. “We’re all affected by what hap-pens in Israel.”

On Sept. 23, the group is hosting a talk by Minister David Silver, a New Zealand native who has relocated to Haifa, Israel and travels the world lecturing on the historical perspective behind the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Silver will speak about the implica-tions, from both a legal and biblical perspective, of the so-called San Remo Agreement, which the League of Nations ratified in 1923, giving Britain control over a swath of the Middle East.

Bryant asks that people of all faiths come to the presentation with an open mind and questions about the origins of the conflict and the history of Israel’s bor-

ders with its various Arab neighbours.Understanding how the Israeli people

see the conflict, despite the negative rhetoric that currently exists, is impor-tant to healing the situation, said Kelci Snyckers of King Centred Perspectives.

“It’s about getting back to the root of Jesus’ reconciliation and love of our ene-mies and ourselves,” she said.

The event takes place at the Da Vinci Centre, 195 Bay St. The lecture (7:30 p.m.) will be preceded by a meal. Tickets are $39 for the meal and talk, or $15 for the talk alone. Reservations are required by Sept. 20. Call 250-818-9538.

Police pipers to perform in ChinaThe Greater Victoria Police Pipe Band will play

in the Chinese national tourism festival’s opening ceremonies parade on Saturday in Beijing.

They’ll also perform twice on Sunday.This is the first time the band, comprised of

current and retired officers and civilians, has performed outside of Canada, said pipe major James Troy.

“It’s quite an opportunity for us to go to China,” he said.

Airfare is paid for by the 31 members who are going and the band raised funds to pay for extra expenses.

Calling all punstersPsychiatric nurse Glenda Steffler and

photographer husband Steve Steffler are raising funds for Victoria Women’s Transition House with a photo shoot of a different kind.

Call it charades with costumes. Participants pay $20 to have their photos taken in garb that helps depict a pun – defined as “the humorous use of a word or phrase as to suggest a different meaning or application.”

The photos will be compiled in a book, proceeds from the sales of which go to Transition House. Entry fees will also be donated to the shelter, which provides counselling and temporary housing for abused women.

Greater Victorians have a brand new source for their home and car electronics – one that brings to the city a true vision of quality, value

and customer service.With stores now from Victoria to Winnipeg, Visions

Electronics has been offering Western Canadians the best quality and pricing for 30 years.

The company’s recent move to Victoria’s Millstream Village Shopping Centre was the next logical step.

“We’ve always wanted to come to the Island and it was the right time and the right opportunity for us,” says Victoria store manager Pat St. Amand.

Carrying all major brands in about 14,000 square feet, shoppers will fi nd everything from iPods and the latest mobile phones to fl at-screen TVs and a wide range of car stereos. “I think our success has a lot to do with our staff and their knowledge. We have a lot of sales people who love the industry and want to make this their career,” St. Amand says. “If you look at our staff and their years of service, there’s a lot of experi-ence here.”

George Finlayson, President of Visions Electronics, is also enthused about the talented staff assembled in the new Victoria store. “Victoria could not have a bet-ter representative of our brand than Pat St. Amand. His experience and enthusiasm together with the team he has put together will serve the community well over the coming years.”

There’s also a commitment to customers, in terms of selection, value and service.

Upon walking in the doors, shoppers are encouraged to explore and try out the many products on display, with specialized areas set up for home and car audio, in addition to home theatre, person-al music, mobile phone and acces-sory sections. “It’s a pretty interac-tive store, so if you see something you’re interested in, check it out and see how it works,” St. Amand says.

Boasting a staff of about 18, “we really pride ourselves on our customer service and making sure our customers are satisfi ed.”

To that end, once shoppers se-lect the perfect product for their needs, they can simply leave the rest to the Visions staff, who offer both home and vehicle installa-tion. “And, not only will we set it up, but we’ll also show you how to work it,” St. Amand says.

Among the company’s customer-fi rst initiatives is its price guarantee – if shoppers fi nd a cheaper price for the same product, Visions will beat that price by fi ve per cent.

So confi dent is Visions in its prices that it even of-fers customers an in-store price checker, so they can see how other stores compare for the same product.

Customers can also rest assured in the 60-day price protection guarantee (double the industry standard); if the price drops after purchase, they’ll receive the dif-ference back. Even better, customers can also earn Air Miles reward miles with their purchase, applying to-day’s electronics purchase to tomorrow’s vacation.

So what are Visions customers shopping for?Multi-tasking products are the order of the day.“Everything has really moved toward networking

and connectivity, where everything works together.”Today’s televisions, for example, do more than relay

our favourite programs; they also allow viewers to surf the web or connect with friends on Facebook, all from the comfort of the couch!

Moving into cars, navigation has also expanded considerably, whether it’s straight GPS systems or the latest audio systems with an added navigation feature, St. Amand says.

“We can work on virtually any vehicle. Our in-staller has 10 years experience in the business so he’s been doing it a long time.”

Visit Visions Electronics in the Millstream Vil-lage Shopping Centre, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. weekdays, 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays.

Colwood’s Aquattro development invites home-buyers to explore the newest release from the water-front project, featuring homes ranging from one to three bedrooms, plus dens, with fl oorplans from 737 to 2,530 square feet.

This ocean-side property offers beautiful views of Esquimalt Lagoon, the Olympic Mountains and the city, with on-site streams and connection to old growth forest trails through the historic Hatley Castle and Royal Roads University.

Following a well-received re-lease of smaller homes, buyers looking for something larger will fi nd a unique product at Aquat-tro, says Robert Marchand, Resi-dential Sales and Marketing Di-rector of Anthem Realty.

Perfect for professionals or retirees who want more space without the upkeep of a single-family home, the con-dominiums feature a geo-thermal system for energy-effi cient, comfortable heating and cooling, elegant details such as granite countertops and luxury brands like Fisher & Paykel, Faber, Asko and Kohler.

Marchand says. “Aquattro offers the best in luxury wa-terfront living. There is nothing of comparable value in the Greater Victoria marketplace when it comes to location, design and comfort.”

Each unit at Aquattro has been designed for buyers looking for spacious homes in a private, natural set-

Aquattro’s project team includes Victoria-based Number TEN Architectural Group and Farmer Con-struction, along with interior design by False Creek Design Group.

Embracing the natural beauty of the surrounding area, all architectural and interior spaces are orien-tated to maximize the sight lines to the Esquimalt Lagoon and the Pacifi c Ocean. Throughout the proj-ect, designers aimed to create spectacular buildings in

1 out of 3 Canadians suffer from Thyroid Disease!

Consider low thyroid function if you experience fatigue or sluggishness, hair or eyebrow loss, weight gain or coldness in your extremities. Clinically low thyroid, as confirmed by your doctor, requires prescription medication. However, supplementing a healthy diet with ThyroSense® will help promote balance to your thyroid.

ThyroSense® is recommended by health professionals to help with the symptoms of low thyroid, and is safe to use for those already on medication for low thyroid.

The most common form of Thyroid Disease is low thyroid.

Cranky? PMS? Bloated? Acne?

The most prominent cause of hormone imbalance related symptoms is excessive estrogen, including exposure to the birth control pill, pesticides and other environmental toxins. Symptoms can include PMS, endometriosis, fibrocystic breast disease, heavy and painful periods, hormonal acne and more…

EstroSense® is recommended by health professionals and contains natural ingredients to help reduce the symptoms of estrogen dominance.

Up to 80% of all women are estimated to experience symptoms of PMS during their reproductive years.

What health professionals are saying about EstroSense…

In my practice I highly recommend EstroSense for women suffering estrogen dominance with conditions such as PMS, heavy periods, endometriosis, fibrocystic breasts, perimenopause and those women using any hormone supplements. Dr. Alvin Pettle, MD, F.R.C.S. (C)

As a Naturopathic Doctor, I strongly recommend EstroSense for healthy hormone metabolism in women with PMS, irregular periods, heavy bleeding, fibroids or those taking hormone replacement therapy. Dr. Marita Schauch BSc. ND

I love EstroSense’s unique blend of hormone balancing and detoxifying nutrients. I recommend it to my patients with a variety of hormonally related conditions, such as PMS, fibroids, endometriosis, and peri-menopause, including those on natural hormone therapy. EstroSense is also great for maintaining breast health at any age. Dr. Hyla Cass MD, author of 8 Weeks to Vibrant Health

Downtown park will hold 7,000 concertgoersTravis PatersonNews staff

Without a proper roll of packing tape, Nick Blasko is hesitant to affix a Rifflandia poster to the clutter of ads adorning the base of a Johnson Street lamppost.

Long before Blasko was a lead organizer with Atomique Productions, which is stag-ing the Rifflandia music festival Sept. 22 to 25 in Victoria, he was taping posters on the streets of Victoria.

“That’s where it started.”Today he’s still that guy, though he admits

poster duties are now in the capable hands of the next generation. The full-colour, 108-page guide for Rifflandia 2011 is, however, a magazine of previews and features clearly influenced by the art and design seen in street posters.

It’s the magazine of choice in coffee shops and waiting areas downtown these days

and is the fruit of a deadline met with “non-stop over-nighters,” Blasko said. “We lived with the production of the guide for so long

– you just pray you don’t have a typo on the front page.”

The guide is also full of even more big-name acts. Rifflandia has moved its main venue outside and has sold nearly double last year’s 3,250 passes.

“This year is all about the day festival at Royal Athletic Park,” Blasko said. “We’ve focused heavily on making it a full day’s affair. No one should be bored or want to leave early, there’ll be so much to do.”

RAP will handle up to 7,000 people daily. Combined with nighttime venues, overall ticket sales could surpass 10,000.

Seven other venues will host four shows nightly beginning at 8:30 p.m., around the time park headliners Broken Social Scene (Friday), City and Colour (Saturday) and De La Soul (Sunday) wrap things up.

To accommodate both day and nighttime concertgoers, Rifflandia offers alternatives for festival admission. Instead of forcing patrons hopping from one bar to the next to purchase an all-events wristband, Atom-ique has “sliced and diced” the options into park passes and night passes.

While the one-for-all festival super pass is still the prime ticket at $165, a single-day pass to RAP runs $75 and night-stage only weekend passes are $55.

Blasko hopes the change will eliminate the criticism of years past – that venues for particular acts filled up and left concert-hopping fans on the street.

RAP’s main stage will feature five acts per day and five more running simultane-ous on a side stage. The park will also host a cinema tent, Artlandia exhibit tent and a Phillips Brewery beer garden. For tickets or information visit www.2011.rifflandia.com.

■ The Arts Centre at Cedar Hill grand opening ■ Saturday, Sept. 10 ■ Cedar Hill Recreation Centre

Saanich celebrates grand opening

of Cedar Hill Arts Centre

Visual artist Melanie Barnes tries out a pottery wheel in the new studio.

The District of Saanich, residents and artists celebrated the opening of the Cedar Hill Arts Centre last weekend, providing art lovers with a place to learn, create and become engaged in all the arts have to offer.

Dignitaries took part in an unveiling ceremony at Cedar Hill Rec Centre Saturday, welcoming everyone to the centre, which includes 11,000 square feet of new space and features a community art gallery, a multi-purpose room primarily for children’s programs, two fi ne arts studios, a pottery studio and improved accessibility.

“The new Arts Centre at Cedar Hill is a dynamic and engag-ing venue for people from the community and surrounding areas to participate in artistic and cultural activities,” said the Hon. Denis Lebel, Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities.

Added Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard, “We are proud to open our community arts centre and are grateful for the fi -nancial contributions from the federal and provincial govern-ments and the support of Saanich taxpayers.

“This is quickly becoming a regional asset that includes public art which has won acclaim. Come and enjoy; come and participate.”

UVic waiting on traffic issue

Saanich produces its share of athletes who shine on the national stage, but the munic-ipality has a chance to do even more for local sports.

The University of Victoria has pro-posed a $77 million Centre for Athlet-ics, Recreation and Special Abili-ties that could be “shovel-ready” by January.

Unfortunately for UVic, the daily traf-fic plug on McKen-zie Avenue and Sin-clair Road coming out of Cadboro Bay isn’t doing the school’s plan any favours.

On Oct. 3, Saanich council can approve UVic’s plan but they must weigh the merits of the proposal against the problem of allowing a new parkade that would add as many as 271 more cars to the campus congestion.

Slated for the Ring Road’s northeast corner, the cen-tre would immediately join the list of high-performance sports facilities in the munici-pality such as Saanich Com-

monwealth Place, the Pacific Institute for Sports Excel-lence and the rowing centre at Elk Lake.

Competitively, UVic is a top school in Canadian university sports. The various Vikes teams and individuals are an annual threat to win in most

championships. Even those sports the school doesn’t win at, they’re still successful in other ways, such as put-ting athletes on national teams.

The proposed centre will be a place to improve UVic’s tradition of athletic excellence, says the school in a cheesy but truthful

description. Many of UVic’s athletes come from here, and those visiting from elsewhere often stay for good.

It’s even said that UVic has the most physically active student body in Canada, a testament to the South Island’s mild climate that allows for year-round train-ing.

It’s no secret that “McK-innon Gym is antiquated.” UVic’s athletics director Clint Hamilton admits the facility is showing its age. And com-

pared to those at many of the new schools joining the CIS, we don’t want UVic getting laughed at by an athlete from some newly approved CIS .

There seems to be a mis-conception, however, that the centre’s new parkade is a separate part of the approval process. The buildings go together in a package deal. Around $59 million will go to a 2,100-seat spectator gym, a multipurpose field house, state-of-the-art weight train-ing and fitness space, squash and racquet courts, a climb-ing tower, related office and activity spaces and an office and laboratory space for CanAssist, whose expanded special services will benefit the community.

Another $18 million is slated for the seven level parkade, which would replace the 234 existing parking spots with a build-ing capable of holding 505 vehicles.

There also seems to be some confusion that the parkade would be unattract-ive. This along a road that always seems to be under construction. Saggy orange fencing, weedy asphalt and giant muddy areas come to mind when picturing the drive along McKenzie and the

entrance to the proposed site just inside Gabriola Road.

The traffic concern from neighbours is valid. It’s certainly a right for all the school’s neighbours to have a smooth evacuation out of their quiet and charming neighborhoods.

And while UVic is actively trying to wean itself from car-dependent transportation, no one expects residents of Cad-boro Bay to give up driving. Greater Victoria as a whole is in the early stages of the same thing (see the CRD’s new $275 million cycling and pedestrian master plan). But it’ll be many years from now, if ever, before an electric street car zips up the hill on Sinclair, heading to UVic.

So whether McKenzie needs to become a four-lane street or have a magical bypass from Gordon Head Road to Cadboro Bay (for residents only, of course) dropped down by NASA helicopters, let’s hope UVic gets permission to build its self-funded facility and sends even more of our kids to pro-vincial, national and Olympic glory.

Westshore Rebels quarterback Cat Todorovich is hit by V.I. Raiders linebacker Glenn Boyce in Nanaimo last week.

Rebels hunt to hold thirdAs the Westshore Rebels season begins to

wind down in the B.C. junior football confer-ence, the hunt for third spot, thereby clinching a top-four playoff berth, becomes ever more intense.

This Saturday (Sept. 17) the Rebels host the Okanagan Sun, 7 p.m. at Bear Mountain Sta-dium in Langford.

The Sun (5-1) are second in the league ahead of the Rebels and Langley Rams, both of which are tired for third spot (3-3).

Last week Westshore fell to the Vancouver Island Raiders in Nanaimo 52-8.

Fans of B.C. collegiate sports can say bye-bye to the tongue-twisting title of BCCAA and hello to the much sleeker PacWest.

The B.C. Colleges’ Athletic Association has dumped its former, nerdier sports acronym in favour of the Pacific Western Athletic Associa-tion. The new name represents both colleges and universities in B.C. including the Camosun Char-gers athletic teams.

“We feel the PacWest name does an excellent job of identifying who we are and what we do and

will give us a significant advantage as we imple-ment our marketing plans,” said PacWest presi-

dent Bruce Hunter in a press release.A total of 14 schools compete in the PacWest,

with the Chargers competing in volleyball, bas-ketball and golf.

The league’s website has also been updated to www.pacwestbc.ca.

The new name is borrowed from but shouldn’t be mistaken for the neighbouring NCAA PacWest conference that includes teams from Arizona, Cal-ifornia, Hawai’i and Utah.

SPORTSChargers basketball team to host tip-off dinner

The Camosun Col-lege Chargers men’s and women’s basket-ball teams are hosting the fifth-annual Tip-Off Dinner at the Harbour Towers Hotel on Fri-day, Sept. 23.

Speaking at the fund-raiser is coaching leg-end Don Horwood.

A Newfoundland product, Horwood coached the Oak Bay High basketball team to three B.C. champion-ships between 1973 to 1978. He then coached at Spectrum Commu-nity school from 1979 to 1983.

Horwood eventually took over the Univer-sity of Alberta Golden Bears men’s basket-ball team and won three national titles, with seven runner-up appearances at the CIS championships.

Tryouts for the 2011-12 Chargers men’s and women’s basket-ball and volleyball teams are underway.

Everything raised at the Tip-Off Dinner goes to the student-athlete scholarship fund for Chargers basketball.

For tickets contact women’s coach Brett Westcott at [email protected] and 250-388-9807, or men’s coach Craig Price at [email protected] and 250-532-1265.

With a varsity squad of just 24 players, you’ll have to excuse the Mount Doug-las Rams for their lack of size.

Thankfully, there’s no lack of talent.

The AAA football team lost a “track meet” in its home opener against the W.J. Mouat Hawks of Abbots-ford on Friday, 53-47.

“We’re both highly com-petitive teams, them No. 3 ranked and us No. 2, but I wouldn’t have predicted 100 points, not at all,” Rams coach Mark Townsend said.

Townsend moves into the role as senior coach this sea-son after guiding the junior squad to the AAA provin-cial championship last year and the AA championship in 2009.

“Defensively I’d like to see us swarm the football with a few more tacklers. I’d also like to see more turn-overs from the defence,” Townsend said. “We turned it over three times but only created one turnover.”

On Sept. 16, the Rams cel-ebrate the high school game

in traditional U.S. style with a Friday Night Lights theme at Royal Athletic Park.

At 7 p.m. the senior team hosts Bainbridge High School, “a strong AAA team from Seattle.”

“We’re really excited about it. It’s the first time we’ve hosted a U.S. team in Victo-ria,” Townsend said. “(Bain-bridge) is a very good team, bringing 60-70 varsity play-ers. They’ll be a very, very tough team and we expect a big challenge.”

To bolster team morale the Rams’ are promoting a white-out, inviting suppor-ers to wear a white shirt to the game and handing out 100 white towels to fans.

There’s little doubt the Rams have the offence nec-

essary to win a B.C. cham-pionship this year, with led by talented quarterback Jor-dan Deverill. The Grade 12 student has two of the best backfield options in B.C. with running backs Mason Swift and Terrell Davis. In the air, Deverill is equally blessed with Taylor Young, who made eight receptions for 86 yards and three touch-downs on Friday. And then there’s Terrell’s younger brother Marcus.

As a Grade 10, Marcus is in his first year on the senior squad. In less than half the game against Mouat he caught two passes for 50 yards and made a defensive interception.

“We’re up against some much bigger teams -- 40, 50, and 60 players -- but we’re lucky with the talent we have,” Townsend said. “We’re very blessed with (the running tandem of) Mason and Terrell, whether

they’re running from the backfield or if one lines up as a receiver, as both can catch the ball.”

With such a small squad, success this year hinges on the health of the team, added Townsend.

“We’ll have to be lucky with injuries, so we have to be careful in practice. We

already lost varsity player David Verville for the season with a severe arm break suf-fered in practice.”

Art and innovationSarah Savage, one of the artists from

Wolf/Sheep Arthouse, works on a mural outside the Belfry Theatre as part of the

TEDxMileZero event Saturday. Twelve local innovators in their fields were part of the workshop, using the power of art,

technology and community to inspire innovation and action in others. The event was part of a global set of conferences of

Technology, Entertainment and Design (TED) talks.

Spotlight shines on Pacific culture Erin CardoneNews staff

The culture of the South Pacific comes north for a music and dance festival this weekend.

The One Wave Festival, put on by the Pacific Peoples Partnership, features dance by the Pearls of the South Pacific, Lilia’s Polynesian Dance School and the Esquimalt Nation, as well as reggae and island-inspired tunes by the Warless Pacific Northwest band, and plenty of others.

The goal of the event is to promote Pacific culture and increase awareness of fragile Pacific ecosystems.

Free performances happen at Centennial Square tomorrow (Sept. 17) at noon and run until 4 p.m. Next, there are night performances at Lucky Bar from 8 to 10:30 p.m. Tickets cost $10, available at Lyle’s Place, Alcheringa Gallery and at the door. Then, Baja Surf Grill hosts an afterparty from 1:30 to 5 a.m. Tickets are also $10, at the door.

For more information on the Pacific Peoples Partnership, please go to www.pacificpeoplespartnership.org.
