Anyone who’s ever had a child knows how even a healthy newborn can feel overwhelm-ing.

But when that new baby is taken to inten-sive care, the intensity of emotions are almost impossible for most of parents to imagine.

For Dustan and Kerri Roberts, it’s an expe-rience they know all too well. Their 17-month-old daughter Abbygail spent her first three months – 155 days – in the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit.

Having a sick newborn was only half the struggle for the family. They were also mourn-

ing the loss of Abbygail’s twin, who passed away eight days after being born.

Throughout Abbygail’s stay at the NICU, the staff not only helped care for the child, but they were there for her parents too.

“They really helped with mental support,” said the father.

Last week, the Roberts brought their daughter back to Victoria General Hospital, but this time it was to cel-ebrate.

They joined other families who have experi-enced life in the NICU. The hospital hosted its 28th annual neonatal intensive care reunion party, Aug. 9.

All of the parents and grandparents bonded with each other and the hospital staff were able to see their former sick patients thrive.

Those staff helped build some wonderful memories for the Roberts family, including Abbygail’s first party.

“On her 100th day in the NICU, I came in and Abbygail was wearing a princess crown. They are our milestones, but not normal mile-stones,” said Kerri. “It’s really great to see everyone again.”

Theft rates steady but could be lower

There’s good news and there’s bad news when it comes to thefts from cars on the West Shore.

RCMP say the good news is theft from vehicle statistics for July 2012 are only up slightly this year, with 52 reported, compared to around 40 the year before. The bad news is there are still more than 500 thefts from vehicles on the West Shore every year.

The best news, say RCMP, is most thefts are preventable.

“I don’t think a lot of people real-ize that someone who is desperate for cash will smash the window on a car or pop a lock for the loose change you keep in plain sight for parking,” Const. Brian Lucas said. “While laptops, purses, wallets, cell phones, tools and GPS units are some of the most popular items taken, the fact is (thieves) will break into your car for a cou-ple of CDs.”

By not leaving anything of any value in your car you greatly reduce your chance of getting bro-ken into.

Lucas and West Shore RCMP auxiliary constables have been conducting “Lock It or Lose It” campaigns in parks, parking lots and community centres on the West Shore, educating the public about the importance of locking vehicles and making sure nothing of any value is left inside, even for a short period of time.

Lucas is also spending time this summer working on the West Shore RCMP’s bike patrol unit, checking parks, parking lots and areas that have been targeted in the past.

“We hope that a more visible presence and increased public awareness will have an affect in reducing the number of files of this nature that we deal with,” Lucas said. “But the bottom line is a little more common sense in locking your vehicle and leaving nothing in sight would go a long way toward eliminating this type of crime.”

Thieves target visible valuables, RCMP warn

If you can’t travel to Mars, going to this weekend’s Star Party in Metchosin might be the next best thing.

Astronomers from across Greater Victo-ria are gathering at the Metchosin munici-pal ground for a weekend of gazing at stars, watching solar storms and camping out.

The Royal Astronomical Society of Cana-da-Victoria Chapter hosts the party, which is open to the public.

Metchosin astronomer Sherry Buttnor leads a workshop called Astronomy 101 for anyone wanting to learn the basics. She’ll also host a guided telescope walk on Friday night (Aug. 17).

During the day, Buttnor said many mem-bers will have their telescopes set up to watch magnetic storms on the sun.

“It’s absolutely true you are never sup-

posed to look at the sun unless you have the proper equipment. You can do it safely if you know what you are doing,” she said, explaining that she uses a neutral density white light filter on the end of her tele-scope.

Buttnor has been involved in astronomy for 30 years and has even built her own telescopes.

In the early mornings, the Andromeda galaxy is one of Buttnor’s favourite sights.

“It’s our nearest neighbour. It’s 2.1 million lights years away, but as far as astronomi-cal distances go, it’s right next door,” Butt-nor said. “I like to take what I’ve learned and share with others.”

Families and children are encouraged to come out and learn about all types of astronomy.

“Kids look through the eyepiece and they are wide-eyed at what they see,” Buttnor said.

Saturday afternoon, from 4 to 6 p.m., children’s activities include crafts involving planets and comets as well as face paint-ing.

“It’s best if people bring their own tele-scopes,” Buttnor said. “It doesn’t matter what you’ve got, even if it’s just a drug store telescope, everyone’s welcome.”

Throughout the weekend there will be series of workshops and lectures as well as plenty of time to look into the universe. All flashlights must have tape over the end to dim the light.

The star party runs from Friday, Aug. 17 at 6 p.m. to Sunday, Aug. 19 at noon. There is no charge to attend the star party, but donations are appreciated. Food and drink is not provided. For more information, go to victoria.rasc.ca/events/StarParty. The Metchosin muncipal grounds is located at 4450 Happy Valley Rd.

Daniel PalmerNews staff

Capital Regional District directors who hinder prog-ress on the upcoming sec-ondary sewage treatment project could face steep fines – even jail time – under new federal regulations.

CRD staff presented a report on new Fisheries Act regulations that warns directors if they intention-ally do not meet the 2020 deadline for the project, they could be fined up to $500,000 or face two years in prison.

“That’s for every individual incident, and each day the vio-lation occurs is a separate inci-dent,” said Denise Blackwell, chair of the CRD’s liquid waste management committee.

The federal wastewater reg-ulations, brought into effect last month, identify nearly 400 communities across Canada that are considered high risk for their lack of secondary sewage treatment.

They must comply with the regulations by 2020 or face the steep penalties.

“The federal government believes we’re their number one target for not meeting

these regulations, and that’s why they’re giving us $280 mil-lion,” Blackwell said.

The federal and provincial governments have agreed to fund two-thirds of the Capital Region’s $782-million project, while the CRD will foot the remainder. Despite the fund-ing, some directors continue to challenge the high risk des-ignation, citing a lack of scien-tific data.

“Virtually every credible marine scientist in the area has said ... there’s not a prob-lem here, this isn’t necessary,” said director Vic Dermon, a Saanich councillor. “The prime minister recently said a

(oil) pipeline should be deter-mined by science. Well, then so should Victoria’s sewage situation.”

Critics have also been lob-bying the CRD to request an exemption under the regula-tions and avoid the huge pub-lic expenditure.

The Association for Respon-sible and Environmentally Sustainable Sewage Treat-ment (ARESST) purports the current system of pumping screened sewage into the Strait of Juan de Fuca is envi-ronmentally sound.

But CRD staff wrote in their report that exemptions to sewage treatment are not pos-

sible, except for northern Canada.

Former federal environ-ment minister David Ander-son told Black Press that the regulations should be adjusted to allow regions like Greater Victoria the chance to utilize its unique geographical advantages for sewage treatment.

“If the federal government decided to have the same snow-removal requirements for Victoria as in Quebec, we would call that ridicu-lous,” Anderson said.

When the CRD passes a bylaw later this month, a

process will begin to appoint a panel of seven experts who will run the project.

While no CRD directors will sit on the panel, the bylaw will contain explicit language to ensure financial accountabil-ity, Blackwell said.

“Any changes to the budget in any way, shape or form have to come back to (the CRD).”

The panel should be in place by November.

Its first task will be to solicit requests for qualifications from interested companies for the McLoughlin Plant design and construction.

[email protected]

What’s next for sewage treatment■ Aug. 22 – Sewage committee meeting, where CRD staff will report on site selection for the planned biosolids energy plant.

■ September – An external consultant will begin the search for seven qualified sewage commissioners, and CRD staff will begin meeting with companies interested in putting forward requests for qualifications.

■ November – Newly appointed sewage commission will assume control of the project from the CRD.

■ January to April 2014 – The earliest date to award a company with the design and construction of McLoughlin Point wastewater treatment plant.

Charges of sexual interference laid after kids report pair of incidents

Christine van ReeuwykNews staff

Darryl James Thompson, 47, made his first appearance in court last Friday (Aug. 10) after Victoria police arrested the View Royal man in response to reports that three children were inappropriately touched at Esquimalt Recreation Centre.

After a pair of incidents were reported late Wednesday, pool staff identified a potential sus-pect Thursday (Aug. 9) based on a general description.

Staff witnessed what they felt was an inappropriate act and called police.

The man was removed from the pool area and was arrested around 2 p.m. on Thursday.

“Staff identified him, brought

him out of the pool and con-tacted our people immedi-ately,” said Insp. Keith Lindner of VicPD’s west division, add-ing he was impressed with staff response. “When they knew he was in the building they called us.”

The Thursday incident fol-lowed a report Wednesday (Aug. 8) evening after two children told their respective parents that they’d been inappropriately touched while at the Esquimalt pool.

Staff followed protocol under the circumstances, said Scott Hartman, Esquimalt director of parks and recreation services.

“We’re trained in observing these things. It’s unfortunate that it happens, but all of our staff are trained to respond accordingly around child protection,” he said. “Everyone, because of what happened (Wednesday) night … staff were extra diligent.”

The man was not known to police or on the Esquimalt recre-ation “watch list.”

Hartman said the suspect

was not a rec centre member, but was a member of the Lei-sure Involvement For Everyone program, which provides dis-counted access to recreation facilities.

Police are not releasing ages of the three children or details of the incidents.

“If there are other victims we want to speak to them,” Lindner said. “When a kid has confidence in his or her mom or dad to go forward and say this is what happened, that’s huge … I com-mend all the parties involved.”

Thompson is charged with three counts of sexual interfer-ence of a person under the age of 16. He is due back in court on Sept [email protected]

A former provincial heri-tage minister is irate after the Royal B.C. Museum backed out of an agree-ment to exhibit evidence that, if true, would upend B.C.’s history books.

For the past three years, Sam Bawlf has been lobbying the government to digitize and display a Molyneux globe, a 415-year-old map created after Sir Francis Drake’s voyage around the world from 1577 to 1580.

Bawlf purports the globe proves Drake discov-ered what is now British Columbia in 1579, nearly 200 years before Captain James Cook dropped anchor off Vancouver Island.

“Call it a 400-year-old Google Earth,” he said.Bawlf, a former Victoria-area resident now living

on Salt Spring Island, spent three years securing provincial and federal commitments to digitize the globe – currently held by a private organization in London, England – for Canadian scholarly study.

But the museum backed out of the agreement in January, citing a lack of academic scrutiny on the controversial evidence.

“I absolutely agree with Mr. Bawlf that this needs to be presented to the Canadian public,” said Jack Lohman, the museum’s CEO. “But we’re not in the business of authenticating academic research.”

Bawlf contends he didn’t ask the museum to authenticate his work, which is presented in his 2003 book, The Secret Voyage of Sir Francis Drake.

If Drake was the first European to reach this part of North America, as Bawlf claims, it could be a sticking point in aboriginal land treaties through-out the coastal areas.

The date of first contact with First Nations is a key reference point to all claims of aboriginal rights and title.

“When you move that date by 200 years, it’s very sig-nificant,” Bawlf said.

He noted it would be impossible for such accurate detail to be depicted on Molyneux’s globe without direct observation of the

coastline by someone who was familiar with lati-tude and compass bearings.

“For the RBCM to present the globe without this information would amount to deliberate suppres-sion of the case for Drake’s explorations, presenta-tion of which had been the whole purpose of the project from the outset,” Bawlf said.

Bawlf’s theory has yet to gain a foothold in common history, but has been praised by several established geographical scholars.

In response to Bawlf’s requests earlier this year, cultural development minister Ida Chong pro-vided half of the $30,000 required by Library and Archives Canada to digitize the globe. But with-out RBCM support, the federal government has backed out of the agreement.

“So now we have the money sitting there ... and we just want to get on with it,” Bawlf said, adding the remaining $15,000 has been put up by a private business.

In a statement, Chong’s office confirmed $15,000 had been issued and said the RBCM would “assist Mr. Bawlf in his project to digitize and to bring the globe to Victoria in the future.”

Bawlf wants the province to intervene and force the museum to present both the globe and his evi-dence, but the ministry did not indicate it would take further action.

“The public have a right to know what happened to the project ... we’ve hit a wall,” Bawlf said.

‘It’s great politics, but it matters little to consumers’

Here’s a summer scene being played out all over North America. Family van pulls

up to the corner store to stock up on a few camping essentials: pop, chips, hot dogs, a case of beer and a bottle of vodka.

Not in B.C. you say? It happens every day at rural agency liquor stores around the province. As with many other issues, there is one reality for urban B.C. and another for the rest of us.

Selling booze in grocery stores would presumably create anarchy in B.C cities and towns, but villagers and their visi-tors somehow manage it, just as everyone does across the line in Washington or Alaska.

These rural agency stores are “fly-speck operators,” sniffs an acquain-tance who spent his career as a union activist in government liquor stores. Picture dusty old bottles on a rickety shelf, greedy owners and poorly trained clerks more likely to sell to underage drinkers.

Similar generalizations can be heard about the hundreds of pri-vate liquor stores that have popped up around B.C. since they were legalized. And in fact there have been more violations in private stores, revealed in sting operations run by liquor inspectors.

In the year ended March 31, 54 private stores were caught sell-

ing to a minor, for an 84 per cent compliance rate. Only four govern-ment stores were caught, a pass

rate of 96 per cent. Five rural agency stores were tested, and one flunked.

But here is the telling statistic. In 2010, the gov-ernment allowed liquor inspectors to employ actual minors to test stores. Previously, they hired people who looked young but were old enough to buy alcohol.

As late as 2009, two out of three stores (govern-ment or otherwise) sold

to them. Problem is, that’s not an actual offence.

Now liquor inspectors send in undercover teens, and relieve them of the evidence when they are allowed to buy booze. The watch-dog now has teeth, and compliance has jumped.

The government glossed over the poorer performance of private stores. But in fairness, three times as many private stores as govern-ment ones were targeted in the new inspections, and the gap is narrow. Government stores also have a huge built-in financial advantage in their wholesale rate, and are gener-ally overstaffed by private sector standards.

The B.C. Liberals also moved this spring to make rural agency stores easier to establish. Regulation changes brought the minimum pop-

ulation served from 300 down to 200, and eliminated a vague require-ment for a “bona fide community” to exist around the store.

Meanwhile, the big booze story this year is cabinet minister Rich Coleman’s plan to sell B.C.’s ware-house and distribution monopoly to a private contractor. The B.C. Government Employees’ Union has protested, despite assurances that their jobs will continue. B.C.’s burgeoning craft beer industry has looked to Alberta’s all-private model and predicts higher costs.

The B.C. Liberal government has been on the defensive from the start, with the NDP pointing to the paper trail of lobbyists with an apparent inside track. It’s great poli-tics, but it matters little to consum-ers in an increasingly competitive but heavily taxed business.

Another new regulation took effect this summer, creating a $525 fine for adults serving minors, on the job, at home or as a bootlegger. Parents who provide booze for their underage children are exempted. Previously, penalties applied only to licensed establishments.

If the issue really is public safety and teen binge drinking, the key job for government is to regulate sales effectively. Once that is done, no justification remains for govern-ment liquor sales.

B.C. liquor laws finally effective

Ask voters if they want an oil pipelinePerhaps Premier Christy Clark sees a battle

with Alberta – over revenue from allowing the Enbridge pipeline to use B.C. to link

Alberta oil with tankers on the Pacific Ocean – as the last hope to rally voters in time for the spring 2013 election campaign.

But if the Premier is to gain any political currency, her best bet is to give the people of the province the chance to have their voice heard.

The B.C. NDP has staked out the pipeline-opposition constituency while the B.C. Conservatives have claimed those people who support-it-but-with-conditions.

By demanding that B.C. receive royalties from oil profits that flow through the pipeline, Clark is simply catering to those who already support Enbridge’s proposal. Those opposed have said loud and clear it is not about money, but about inevitable environmental damage.

Grand Chief Edward John of the First Nations Summit political executive summed it up in a scathing press release, when he said the B.C. Liberal government has missed the mark, stressing “B.C. First Nations’ traditional territories and pristine environment are not for sale.”

John reminded Clark of the Supreme Court of Canada’s stance that there is a legal requirement for governments to “consult and accommodate” First Nations regarding any and all land and resource development initiatives in their respective territories.

If First Nations cannot be convinced to allow a pipeline to be constructed through their territories the pipeline is simply a non-starter.

With Clark’s demand having been rejected by Alberta Premier Alison Redford, and with First Nations still on the sidelines, it would be wise for Clark to add a non-binding referendum question to the May 14, 2013 general election ballot.

A simple question – Are you in favour of the Enbridge pipeline proposal? – could give government a mandate for the direction it needs to take on the pipeline proposal.

LETTERSLangford Lake not big enough for rowers and summer users

A proposal to build a “community row-ing facility” on Langford Lake would have rowers on the lake weekends in Septem-ber and June, and early mornings and late afternoons September though June.

This would seriously disrupt the enjoy-ment of many people using the lake for fishing, swimming, sailing and just floating around on their rafts, tubes and other toys.

On weekends in September and June, when it is still quite warm, a rowing lane would cut the lake in half north to south, directly in the path of all the boats from the boat launch and swimmers from one of the two tiny beaches.

Early mornings and late afternoons in the fall and spring are prime fishing times, and the long rowing boats would signifi-cantly reduce the area where people could fish.

Langford Lake is a pretty small lake – too small for an activity such as competitive rowing. The City of Langford is calling it a “community “ rowing club but it’s a joint proposal with a prestigious and epensive private school, St. Michaels’ University.

The private school would be paying to build a boathouse, fenced storage, two docks, showers, an office and exercise room –all squeezed in the northwest cor-ner, which, by the way, is parkland.

So, what we have here is a proposal to spoil the fun of many for the benefit of an elite group. It’s like putting a private yacht club in a public park, so clearly unfair, how did the idea get this far?

Government pensions are high compared to common person

I have been researching the government pension plan.

Members of parliament receive between $157,000 and $314,000 per year. After six years service MPs are entitled to a pen-sion. This is calculated at three per cent, times years of service, multiplied by salary.

The average MP pension is $78,000.MPs I am sure believe they deserve the

pension. Maybe they might be right, if the government was not planning to raise the eligibility to 67 from 65 to save money. They aren’t right so long as hard working Canadians struggle to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table.

If normal people had received between

$157,000 and $314,000 per year, they could have been able to set aside a retirement fund. Instead most of us earn closer to $45,000 and try to raise a family while pay-ing taxes to cover government expenses.

I call on Canadians to protest, don’t hold back your opinion. If everyone who felt like me emailed their MP they might take our concerns seriously.

Remember silence implies consent. Any-one can sign a petition. The truth is as indi-viduals we can do so little, but as a group we can do a lot.

Smart meters not getting enough attention as bad idea

What will it take to stop the very expen-sive smart meter “boondoggle”?

First, there are the reported extreme increases in monthly billing, in some instances supposedly tripling or more, forcing some families to choose between vital things such as food, transportation or heat.

Second, the B.C. Hydro business plan is unrealistic. To my understanding the $1 bil-lion price tag does not include many of the costs associated with this complex wire-less grid system and most certainly does not include legal fees incurred from expen-sive lawsuits.

Third, people are complaining of health issues they believe stem from the constant pulses of radio frequency radia-tion required to keep the mesh network in sync. Some people with pre-existing medical problems say they have seen their conditions worsen and others normally healthy have developed ill symptoms soon after the installation of smart meters.

Why are B.C. residents denied the ability to opt out when other provinces and states have ensured this right for their constitu-ents?

Fourth, a definite and severe threat to our security through hacking of the wire-less smart grid. Unauthorized access to personal information and electrical devices within the home is a real possibility. U.S. experts, including former CIA Director, James Woolsey, say the wireless grid is “stupid” with no way to protect our energy grid against certain cyber attack.

Fifth, house fires and damages to appli-ances after poor installations done by inexperienced workers. How many fires are actually related to smart meters that we don’t know about, and why isn’t the

fire commissioner tracking these events? Hydro and Corix are denying responsibility leaving the individuals to face deductibles, co-insurance, and higher premiums. How is this right?

Sixth, bullying, intimidation and threats to B.C. residents, with no consideration of our democratic right to health, security and privacy in our own homes and busi-nesses.

Again, what more do government/fire/health officials need before they stand up and demand an end to this expensive “boondoggle”? Please tell us.

Key to cutting down on bad drivers is increased policing

Re. “Speed enforcement is needed along Goldstream Avenue,” Aug. 1

Besides the existence of jerks, the reason one of your letter writers gets tailgated on Goldstream Avenue is the refusal of politi-cians to properly fund policing.

Stew Young et al preside over beautiful downtown Langford, complete with music, but do not support adequate policing, in my opinion.

Only police feet on the street will iden-tify the deliberately dangerous drivers.

(Yes, provincial court changes to put more dangerous drivers in jail for rehabili-tation attempts are also needed. Prison economics can be simple – you want to eat you work, just as your victims have to.)

Instead we have drunk drivers still on the street and people whose licence was rescinded for zooming around at danger-ous speeds.

When will voters support better polic-ing by electing officials who actually care about human life?

Users must respect our back country and fellow users

This past weekend I was up in the hills after registering with the gate guard and following the rules to access the lake I wanted to fish.

After reaching the lake, I found a group of people who were camping on the far side of the lake.

For almost an hour while they were breaking camp, they had their ATVs, trail bikes with no mufflers and trucks all running and revving.

When they finally left and it was quiet again, I happened to look over at where they were camping and saw smoke wafting up from a fire they left to smoulder out on its own.

After 10 trips from the lake with the bailing bucket of water to the fire they left on the ground (not in a pit or even ringed by stones), the logs were cooled down enough that there wasn’t any chance of a forest fire.

On top of this, they left what would amount to three or four large garbage bags of garbage, cans, gun shells and broken glass.

After inquiring with the gate guards on our way out, they informed us that the campers had not checked in at the gate and had found a back way to the lake.

Acts like this are prime examples of why forest companies close the back country to campers, fishermen and ATVers.

If you want to be idiots in the back country, buy your own chunk of land and go hard.

But if it’s not yours and you’re trespassing to begin with, then respect the land, keep it clean and usable for other people and do it safely.

Racism can be the only answer for oil embargo on China

Racism – an ugly word that makes us cringe, conjures up images of death and brutality. We must root it out, expose it. Even if it turns out to be us, someone must show us and force us to see what we’re doing.

What If England, or Australia, New Zealand, or most of Europe, were suffering in poverty, as is most of Asia? To what lengths would we go to provide relief? Would we not build a pipeline, and ship all the oil they needed? Give it freely? Call it a bailout?

But it is Asia that needs our help, and we say “China” with barely concealed loathing. And so some of us stand up and cry about mother Earth.

Yet every four days Victoria pumps enough raw sewage into the ocean to fill a supertanker. So why try to block a pipeline that would ship oil to China? Racism can be the only answer.

Art on a wireUnique event asks artists to suspend their work

Kyle WellsNews staff

What do you think? Art grows on trees?Well, for one day at Coast Col-

lective Art Centre in Colwood, that might appear to be true.

The centre’s annual Clothes-line Show is Sunday, Aug. 19 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. For the event, a host of local artists will hang their works on clotheslines strung from tree to tree through-out the centre’s 11-acre property at 3221 Heatherbell Road.

Terri Rodstrom, one of the centre’s directors, expects about 1,200 people to attend the event. But, because the property is so large, it never feels busy.

“It’s a real feel-good festival,” Rodstrom said. “It’s not crowded, you gets lots of good, one-on-one-time talking to the artists.”

The show is non-juried and open to anyone, although pre-registration is required.

Artists are assigned an area

to string up their work for all to enjoy. There will also be an “acre of pottery,” a section of the grounds where potters will dis-play their wares.

“This is an opportunity for other artists that can’t partake in some of the things we do, to be a part of us and to show their work too,” Rodstrom said.

Also invited are around a half-dozen animal rescue groups, including the SPCA’s Wild Ani-mal Rehabilitation Centre (Wild ARC), that will be on site to talk to visitors about the work the rescue groups do. They will also have some four-legged and winged friends on hand.

Local musician Brad Preve-doros will add to the atmosphere of the grounds with the sounds of his acoustic guitar.

Galloping Goose Sausage Company will serve up lunch,

and Baba Bakery from Langford will be offer tasty goodies and coffee.

The property and primary building, Pendray House, will be open for exploration and visitors are welcomed to wander down to the beach on the waterfront property.

There will even be a small chil-dren’s area with art supplies to keep the little ones entertained and inspired.

“You can enjoy the whole day here,” Rodstrom said. “Every-body loves it. People look for-ward to it all year long.”

Admission is by donation. Parking is limited and visitors may have to walk onto the prop-erty from Heatherbell Road.

Melanie Leeder’s drive-way is covered in chalk-drawn arrows and plastic cones. On her front lawn stands a maze of wooden stakes and yellow police tape.

Walk down the drive-way and you’ll discover what used to be a two-car garage – now converted into a mini-gym, equipped with a treadmill, weights and workout bench.

Leeder, a personal trainer originally from Youbou, B.C., moved to Victoria from Vancouver last July.

She quickly renovated her Colwood home to include a 400 square-foot gym with a shower and kids play area.

“One of my main goals is to make fitness afford-able for everyone,” Leeder says. “It shouldn’t just be for the elite.”

Leeder began her busi-ness, Follow the Leeder, as a personal training service last September. But she soon realized the concept didn’t fit the needs of the community.

In January, Leeder developed the idea of incorporating a CrossFit-style bootcamp course

for her clients.The workouts use a mixture

of weights, gymnastics, running, rowing and more.

“It just takes away the typi-cal mundane (feeling) of a gym class,” says Leeder. “It gets

people out of their comfort zone.”

Her goal is to get her clients to try different workouts they thought they wouldn’t have enjoyed, she says.

“It builds their confidence and seeps into different aspects of their life. It’s not about the workout. It’s about the experience.”

One workout, a seven part obstacle course, looks like a game kids might dream up, only this one is done under the demanding eye of a boot-camp instructor.

On a recent Tuesday eve-ning, a group of seven clients weaved through the course, crawling under a web of police tape, lunging while holding a tube above their heads and trying to keep a Ziploc bag filled with water on their back as they crawl across the drive-way.

“(The trend in exercise is about) thinking outside of the box on how you view working out,” Leeder says.

People of all shapes and sizes, and fitness levels can do these workouts, Leeder said.“Anyone can do it because it

can be modified to any level.”For more information about

Mel’s Mudder Madness Boot-camps, see Followtheleeder.com.

HOT TICKETComedy Fest Gala Show


It’s the only festival in Victoria that’s guaranteed to have you in stitches.

This is the second year for the grass-roots Fibrations fibre art festival, running Sunday, Aug. 19. It’s a gathering of fibre art-ists of all types to sell their products, talk shop with enthusiasts and fellow practitio-ners and give demonstrations illustrating the process behind the craft.

Last year’s inaugural event was borne out of the sudden cancellation of the Vic-toria Fibre Festival. A group of fibre artists quickly stepped up to organize an event to replace it, with little time but lots of enthu-siasm.

“We had very little time, about a month,” co-organizer and Knotty By Nature fibre arts store co-owner Ryan Davis said. “It was really fun, we just all pulled together, did a bunch of work and made it happen. It went amazingly well. There was just a great amount of excitement about it.”

This year’s event is capturing the same spirit, with all the organization done by volunteers and a focus on making it artist-friendly and widely inclusive. Costs for ven-dors are kept low and all the money raised, aside from money earned by the vendors,

goes right back into the event. “Last year it just had the best vibe in

the air. … It was quite special,” Davis said. “A lot of people sold out of their stuff that they brought, so people were very excited about how well they did.”

The cost to vendors to participate is a donation of a $35 retail value item that is then put up as a prize at the event in a toonie raffle. The money from the raffle pays for the event. The idea is to keep costs low and participation high so more people, including hobbyist fibre artists, can participate.

About 35 vendors took part in last year’s event and this year organizers have already had to cut the registration off at 50 ven-dors.

Davis said that if you can name a fibre art, it will be at the event.

Woven, knit, needle-felted and other fin-ished products will be in abundance. This includes practical items such as scarves and hats, but also more creative display works.

Supplies will also be plentiful. Wool, knit-ting yarn and all the other tools of the trade needed for fibre art will be for sale. A couple of local hand-dyed knitting yarn producers will even be there selling prod-ucts.

Food vendors will also be on-site, includ-ing a merchant who sells knitting needle-shaped chocolate.

Davis is a weaver primarily. His wife and Knotty By Nature co-owner Stephanie Papik

taught him how to use a loom about eight years ago and he “took to it.”

“It’s very meditative and relaxing and you make beautiful things,” Davis said.

There are many rea-sons people take to fibre art, either produc-ing it or enjoying the outcome.

“It’s practical a lot of times. It’s art and it’s wearable at the same time, so that’s kind of nice,” Davis said. “What I love about fibre art is that it has an organic element to it, almost like it’s a combination of control and chaos. Because every fibre behaves differently and they can interact with each other.”

Fibrations takes place in the St. Ann’s Academy Orchard (635 Humboldt Street) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Maria Manna, Maureen Wash-ington and April Gislason will rock your soul with classic Soul Train and Motown Gospel in a fundraiser for Mercy Ships Can-ada this Sunday.

Featuring Thomas Kinzel on piano, Joey Smith on bass and Damian Graham on drums, these great ladies of jazz are all accom-plished singers and recording artists in their own right, and combined, they create a night to remember.

Jazz lovers will delight in lis-tening to these three extraor-dinary singers together on stage as they create an eve-ning of music featuring some of jazz music’s most classic

ballads and standards. Manna exudes professional

confidence and a magnetic charm that is woven into her performances, from swing to ballad and jazz, while Washing-ton combines the sultry soulful-ness of Etta James with the jazz-pop flair of Holly Cole and Jann Arden. To top the group off, from a powerful ballad to hard-edge rock, Gislason can sing it all.

Proceeds from the concert will go to Mercy Ships, which operates hospital ships serving some of the poorest developing nations of the world.

The Africa Mercy is the world’s largest non-governmental hospi-tal ship, and is dedicated to the continent of Africa. Mercy Ships programs promote health by empowering developing nations and by meeting the urgent surgical needs of the world’s

forgotten poor. Since 1978, Mercy Ships has

performed more than 61,000 life-changing and life-saving opera-tions such as cleft lip and palate repairs, cataract removals and lens implants, orthopaedic pro-cedures, facial reconstruction and obstetric fistula repairs. It has treated more than 539,000 patients in village clinics and trained 5,770 local health-care teachers.

Tickets for the Ladies of Gos-pel are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. Registration deadline is Saturday Aug. 18.

Tickets are available online at regimojo.com/registrations/68/forms or call Hermann’s at 250-388-9166. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. For more information on Mercy Ships go to mercyships.ca.

Lord have mercy

New art in the village

Joined voices are manna from heaven for charity

New Works by Jennifer McIntyre and Wendy Oppelt will be featured at Eclectic Gallery in the Oak Bay Village until Sept. 1.

A dedicated arts educator, McIntyre comes from a long line of artists.

Named Pacific Arts Educator of the Year by the U.S. National Art Education Association, she currently teaches in the Faculty of Art Education at the University of Victoria.

Her colourful acrylic paintings express a joyful exuberance as each original work explores composition, pattern and light in new ways.

McIntyre’s paintings have been highlighted at Glendale Gardens, the MacPherson Library Gallery at UVic, the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria Art Rental, the Sooke and Sidney Fine Arts shows, and a recent Artishow residency at the Ocean Point Resort.

Oppelt was born in Edmonton and went on to live in Calgary, Vancouver and Adelaide, Aus. before settling in Victoria, where she paints from her home studio.

An acomplished artist, Oppelt presents work drawing on Oriental themes in acrylic, oil, pastel and watercolour.

Her work has been featured at the Cedar Hill Gallery, Sooke Harbour House Gallery, Victoria International Airport and Artishow, a plein air art event on the lawn of the Fairmont Empress Hotel.

The show runs until Sept. 1 with an artists reception this evening (Wed., Aug.15) from 6 to 8 p.m. during the Oak Bay Summer Market.

It won’t happen in time for the provincial elec-tion next spring, but the B.C. government is mov-ing ahead with Premier Christy Clark’s pledge to examine online voting at the local and provincial level.

Some municipalities have suggested modernizing elections to make voting more convenient, and reverse the recent trend to lower voter participation. Clark proposed the idea during last year’s B.C. Liberal leadership campaign.

Justice Minister Shirley Bond announced last week that she has asked Chief Elec-toral Officer Keith Archer to set up an expert panel to make recommendations.

Archer asked the government last year to give him authority to conduct pilot projects for electronic voting, and to consider extend-ing voter registration to

16- and 17-year-olds, as has been done in Australia and some U.S. states.

During his leadership bid, Health Minister Mike de Jong proposed lowering the voting age from 18 to 16, to encourage younger people to get involved

as part of their high school education.Nola Western, deputy chief electoral offi-

cer at Elections B.C., said the panel will likely need until 2014 to recommend changes to the Election Act that would permit online voting. Independent experts on Internet security and electoral administration will be asked to serve on a committee chaired by Archer, with a first meeting expected by October.

Elections B.C. already has online voter registration, as well as data sharing with the federal voters’ list, ICBC and the B.C. Vital Statistics Agency, to keep the voters’

list up to date.Western said online voting has been used in Hal-

ifax and Markham, Ont., but has not yet been tried at the provincial or federal level in Canada.

Got Gas?Happy Homebrewer Wine Doesn’t

Our exclusive new de-gassing tool removes over fi ve times the carbon dioxide and other unwanted gases from our wines, than those using the industry standard stirring method. This creates a superior product that is at, or near its peak, the day it is bottled.

Drop in or call and ask Jim about this amazing technology.

Dozens of past NICU patients filled the VGH rooftop with their families, some young patients recently discharged and others in their 20s. But the emotional day is also a special one for the staff.

“It’s just so encouraging to see the big kids,” said Dr. Con-nie Harris, NICU pharmacist. “When we first meet parents in the NICU they are fright-ened and confused.”

The reunion party is a reminder to Harris and other hospital staff about how their tiny patients grow up and lead fulfilling lives. Harris points out it’s tough to see tiny sick babies and this party allows staff to see the positive out-comes.

It wasn’t that long ago when Shaylene Evans gave birth to her daughter Aryonna with a birth weight of three pounds, two ounces.

“She was three months early,” Evans explained qui-etly. “I had a lot of bawling sessions.”

The young mother lives in Ladysmith and was able to stay in Victoria to visit her daugh-ter daily through a donation made by the Help Fill a Dream Foundation. She stayed at the Easter Seal House in Victoria and took two buses to the hos-pital.

“I never missed a day,” Evans said. Dealing with a newborn with a collapsed lung and seizures was a lot for the mother, but she said the care

her daughter received from the NICU staff was amazing.

While her daughter Ary-onna has grown into a health-ier 18 pound baby, she lives with a chronic lung disease and needs to use two inhalers everyday.

O t h e r than com-ing to the hospital to celebrate her daugh-

ter’s achievements, Evans also came to help another family.

She’s meeting a couple whose baby is currently in the NICU with the same lung dis-ease. Evans came to give them support and share her experi-ences.

No matter how long the stay in the NICU, it’s a tough time for any parent to go through.

Robyn Copp’s daughter, Shonagh, spent 11 days in the hospital, after being born six weeks early.

Now a happy, healthy nine-and-a-half-year-old, she has no recollection of the tough start she had in life. But for her mother, the memories haven’t faded. “It was such a scary time,” recalled Copp, smiling at her daughter beside her. “She was kind of like a half baked cookie.”[email protected]

Rebels correctionAn article printed in the Gazette on Aug. 3, 2012,

stating that the Langford Rebels was the first midget team from Langford Fastball was incorrect. The softball association has had midget teams in the past, however, this was the first time the cur-rent team, formerly with Victoria Fastball, played as the Langford Rebels.

Range of VisionIf you have normal vision, you should be able

to see objects clearly whether they are near or far away. When your eye doctor examines your eyes he will measure your vision at long distance as well as close up. The measurement for distance vision is usually taken at 20 feet. A test for near vision is usually taken at the normal reading dis-tance or about 16 inches.

Near vision is used for reading, sewing, eat-ing and any other activity in which the object you are looking at is within arms length. Intermedi-ate vision includes computer screens, music on a stand, cards on a table etc. Distance vision is considered anything beyond that point. This would include looking at television or at people across the room, even though the distance is relatively short.

You need to see clearly wherever you happen to be looking. Straining your eyes to try to see ob-jects clearly can often cause headaches and other discomfort. If you think you may need glasses or contact lenses or a new lens correction, see your family optometrist for an examination.

Vikes go six for nine at Olympics

A bronze medal for long-distance swimmer Richard Weinberger has the UVic Vikes looking sharp after six of its nine current and for-mer athletes medalled at the 2012 Olympic Games.

Weinberger placed third in the men's open water 10km marathon swim on Friday (Aug. 10). The 22-year-old finished in one hour, 50 minutes and 0.30 seconds, just 35 seconds back of gold-medal winner Oussama Mellouli (1:49:55.10) from Tunisia. Coincidentally, Mellouli had already won bronze in the men’s 1,500m freestyle, beaten by Vikes silver-medallist Ryan Cochrane.

Vikes rowing alumni Doug Csima and Gabe Bergen of the men’s eight, and Darcy Mar-quardt and Rachelle Viinberg of the women’s eight, all won silver.

Rowers at world championships

Rowing Canada’s team for this week’s 2012 World Rowing Senior and Junior Championships in Bulgaria, Aug. 15 to 19, is stacked with Greater Victoria athletes.

The entire junior wom-en’s four is from Victoria, with Allie Delarge and Emily Lerhe from the Vic-toria City Rowing Club, and Jordan Watson and Isabella Watt from the Gorge Rowing and Pad-dling Centre. Vic City rower Elizabeth Fenje of Stanford University is in the senior women’s light-weight quad and UVic rower Kai Langerfeld is in the men’s coxed pair.

Bantam Whalers second in province

The Westshore Whal-ers B2 team took silver at the recent bantam B provincial lacrosse cham-pionships. The Whalers went 3-0 in round-robin play and won the semifi-nal, but lost to the Chilli-wack Mustangs 10-5 in the final. Chris Reid and Noah Holler each scored twice in the final for the Whalers, and Jarrett Mal-loch also scored a goal.

Back on July 15 the Whalers defeated the Saanich Tigers for the Island bantam B title.

Nomads ready for Canadian ultimate championships this week

Overlooking View Street, Dave Pettenuzzo’s office is well-decorated with national and world championship trophies.

The trophies belong to the Nomads.This week Pettenuzzo is strapping on the

cleats one more time as his team, the reign-ing world-champion Nomads, is competing in the masters division (over-33) of the Canadian Ultimate Championships, which run Thursday to Sunday on the grounds of Landsdowne mid-dle school, Topaz Park, St. Michaels University School and Royal Athletic Park.

The 45-year-old has been playing ultimate Frisbee since 1990, and is a patriarch of the sport not just on his team, but in Victoria.

“It’s been a long, long journey for the Nomads,” Pettenuzzo said.

Ultimate tournaments allow a maximum of 28 players per roster, and the Nomads always fill the quota, he added.

“Some are newer to the team, but most of the guys go way back to the early days in the 1990s. And it’s more than a team. We’ve truly evolved into a lifelong brotherhood.”

Pettenuzzo joined the Nomads when he arrived here in 1993 and has since inherited a leading role with the team. He also founded the Victoria Ultimate Players Society, organizers of Victoria’s summer league, and current hosts for this Canadian Ultimate Championships.

The tournament is especially big for the Nomads, winners of multiple national and world titles in the open and masters (over-33) divi-sions. In 1997 the Nomads placed seventh at nationals here in Victoria. The majority of the team pulled double-duty as hosts for that event.

They’d like to win it here on their home turf, because if the Nomads have a home, it’s here.

“We’re also getting older,” Pettenuzzo said. “When a player retires due to their age, we say ‘they’ve gone to pasture.’ I’ve been thinking about it myself. A few guys have been talking about it.”

As a husband and a father to two boys, 12 and 8, it’s never easy for Pettenuzzo and the core of 20-odd teammates to get together for a tourna-ment. But it’s about much more than that, he says.

“From the time Dave Martin founded this team in 1990-91, it’s been a tribe mentality,” he said, “a special bond as brothers.”

The original idea was to have a group of players who jumped in a van and travelled to tournaments. It turned into a world-class team, which is renowned for its play and for its spirit, part of the positive vibe on which ultimate, a self-refer-eed sport, is meant to run on.

“We actually have get-togeth-ers that aren’t for ultimate at all,” Pettenuzzo explained.

Twice a year the Nomads regroup for a non-ultimate reunion, one of them a disc golf tourna-ment along the Lillooet River. The winner gets a green hoody, akin to the green blazer of golf’s The Masters.

The disc golf tourney will continue on, even if the team’s ultimate days don’t.

Naturally, it would be fitting to win one more national title, and on home soil, to boot.

“It would be nice. Certainly we’ve got some very talented players and we know what to do.”

The Nomads are the favourite but face a

tough division with Flood (Winnipeg), NSOM (Montreal), Pioneer (Calgary) and Victoria’s own Republic. Van-couver’s infamous Furious George are favourites to win the men’s open category.

More than 1,500 players on dozens of teams will compete in five divisions, the men’s open and women’s open,

mixed open, juniors (under-18), and men’s mas-ters (over-33).

Locals playing for the Nomads this week are Pettenuzzo, Chris Carmack and Jeff Shields. The rest live around B.C., parts of Alberta and there’s one from Toronto. The Nomads won the men’s open national title in 2001, 2004, 2005 and 2008, and in 2011 as a masters team. They won the 2012 world championship in Japan last month as Team Canada, a roster largely different than that which will take the field tomorrow.

Shamrocks back to Coquitlam tonight

The Victoria Shamrocks came up with a crucial overtime win over the Coquitlam Adanacs on Sunday to even the Western Lacrosse Association semifinal playoff series at two games each.

Corey Small scored his fourth and fifth goals of the game in overtime, and Mitch McLaren scored an empty netter as the Rocks won 11-8.

It’s the Shamrocks’ first win in Coquit-lam this season. Jeff Shattler ended the game with seven assists.

The two teams played Game 5 in Victoria on Tuesday. Results were past press time.

The Langley Thunder defeated the

Burnaby Lakers in the other semifi-nal and are awaiting the winner of the Shamrocks and Adanacs.

Game 6 goes in Coquitlam tonight and Game 7, if necessary, is at Bear Mountain Arena on Sunday (Aug. 19) at 7:45 p.m.

WLA names annual all-starsThe Western Lacrosse Association

named its annual all-star teams and the winners of its individual awards on Monday.

Shamrocks Corey Small and Jeff Shattler made the first and second all-star teams, respectively.

Victoria’s Cody Bremner, a Claremont secondary grad with the Nanaimo Timbermen, won rookie-of-the-year.

B.C. rugby teams in control at youth nationals

Castaway Wanderers player Jack Nyren helped B.C.’s top under-16 team win a national title 15-13 over Ontario. A second U16 team from B.C. won bronze.

The finals were played in Sher-brooke, Que., on Sunday.

“It’s a pretty great feeling to hold this trophy. This is my third national championship so this is pretty sweet,” Nyren said.

B.C. also won the U18 boys title. James Bay’s Crosby Stewart and CW’s Fergus Hall, with coach Jeff Williams of James Bay, defeated the Alberta 40-16 in that final.

Seeing tripleFitzgerald triplets traded to Grizzlies


They say good things come in threes and that's just what the Victoria Grizzlies are banking on with the Fitzgerald triplets.

Identical triplets Myles, Leo and Gerry Fitzgerald all came to the Grizz from the Prince George Spruce Kings in a multiplayer deal that sent David London, Cam Lawson and Coltyn Hansen to Prince George.

The move comes as the Griz-zlies rebuild under the guidance of new general manager and head coach Bill Bestwick.

“Skill, finesse, heart, talent, determination are foundations and criteria that we take very seriously,” Bestwick said.

“When we measure what these three players will bring us indi-vidually and collectively, they are three of the best ’93 birth-dated players in the entire Brit-ish Columbia Hockey League.”

There were some laughs at the press conference announc-ing the acquisition as Bestwick, who coached the triplets before with the Nanaimo Clippers in the 2010-11 season, misidentified one of the identical siblings.

Leo said that he and his broth-ers are excited to be joining what they see as the team to beat next season.

“(Our team has) lots of speed,

lots of skill, we've got some gritty guys, we've got almost the whole package.”

Inevitably, questions arose about the brothers abilities play-ing together on the ice. They brushed off references to the Sedin twins or if they had any sort of psychic connection to one another.

“I get tired of it, but I under-stand why they ask,” Leo said. “We’re triplets, it’s pretty rare to be playing in Junior A as triplets. I think we’re probably the first.”

Training camp for the Griz-zlies begins Aug. 20 at Bear Mountain Arena, with an exhi-bition game at home on Friday, Aug. 24, against the Cowichan Capitals.

The Victoria Devils ’96 lost 14-0 in the gold medal game to the Delta Heat in the girls under-16 Canadian fastpitch championships held in Brantford, Ont. on Sunday.

Constant rain delays made sched-uling difficult for the organizers, but the sun managed to appear for Sun-day’s final, a rematch of the Heat’s recent win over the Devils in the U16 provincial final.

The Devils had plenty of confi-dence going into the national final, having defeated the Heat in pool play on Saturday 7-3. But the Heat was too much, chasing pitcher Jasmine Strandlund in the second

inning, and scoring four runs in each of the first and second innings, and then six more in the third inning.

Ashley Penney pitched five and two thirds innings with three strike-outs to help the Devils ’96 beat the Mississauga Tigers (Ont.) 4-2 on Sunday morning and qualify for the final.

This week the Victoria Devils ’94 team opened the U18 Canadian Championships in Montreal with a pair of wins, 3-2 over the St. Albert Angels (Alta.) on Sunday and an 8-1 drubbing of the Regina Riot (Sask.) on Monday.
