Region’s busiest transit routes to go under the microscope Study aims to identify inefficiencies in system Elena Yovovich revisits the Wharf Street Marina, where until April she lived on her boat with her partner. Her complaints about living conditions for live-aboards at the site are making waves.

Living under the radar Wharf Street marina too close to aerodrome: former resident Roszan Holmen News staff

Mere metres from an airport is no place to call home, according to one recent resident of the Wharf Street marina. Elena Yovovich and her partner first moored their boat in the marina in the summer of 2008. “(We moved in) because there was nowhere else to go and I did not know how bad it would be,” she said. Noise at the marina, wedged between

the Hyack Air and Kenmore Air terminals and Harbour Air and West Coast Air terminals, never ceased for more than 10 minutes at a time, she said. “You can’t actually breathe outside,” she said, demonstrating how she used her sleeve to filter the fumes created by the float planes. Yovovich’s complaints have sparked a series of reactions, including an investigation into live-aboard vessels at the marina by the City of Victoria and a review by the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority. Yovovich is not opposed to the working harbour. But the harbour authority needs to better accommodate residents at its marinas, who are charged a live-aboard fee, she said. Her complaint to the city – the zoning

authority on the waterfront – alerted planners to a conflict. Live-aboards are not actually permitted at the Wharf Street marina, confirmed senior planner Jarret Matanowitsch. “Now that it’s come to our attention … we’re doing our research to see what our jurisdiction is.” When it comes to the harbour, however, jurisdiction is far from clear. “There’s so many different levels of governments; we’re working to clarify that issue,” Matanowitsch said. For Yovovich, her irritation came to a head last fall when the city rezoned a water lot to allow Harbour Air to reconfigure its floatplane docks. PLEASE SEE: Live-aboards, Page A7

Five major corridors in the Capital Region will soon be studied to identify ways to reduce travel delays, better serve existing B.C. Transit passengers and attract new riders. Sections of Douglas Street, McKenzie Avenue, the Trans-Canada Highway, Island Highway and Pat Bay Highway in Victoria, Saanich, View Royal and Colwood will be examined over the next 10 months at a cost of $250,000. With 17,000 to 23,000 people per day riding the bus on Douglas, from Belleville Street to Hillside Avenue, “improving that corridor has the biggest bang for riders,” Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin said during Tuesday’s Victoria Regional Transit Commission meeting. By comparison, buses travelling on Douglas Street from Hillside to Saanich Road carry between 6,000 and 10,000 riders each day. The studies will lead to the development of time-saving solutions, from simple transit scheduling adjustments to roadway changes that would require construction. Examples range from more advance turn signals and bus priority signals to side-street parking bans and the construction of bus-only lanes and extended bus stops. “There’s a way ... to deal with the amount of traffic that is existing on these corridors, to move (passengers) more efficiently and, in effect, have much more capacity because of it,” said commission chair and Saanich Coun. Susan Brice. PLEASE SEE: Transit, Page A14

Building disaster resiliency Esquimalt welcomes Royal Roads students for disaster-risk assessment Erin McCracken News staff

The Township of Esquimalt may become more resilient in the event a large-scale disaster strikes, thanks to some Royal Roads University students. Fourteen second-year Disaster and Emergency Management master’s degree students recently evaluated how the municipality could manage itself during a disaster, such as a disease outbreak or an earthquake. In addition to helping the community improve its disaster resiliency, the students’ assessment could help the township earn a United Nations designation as a disasterresilient community. For a similar project, Royal Roads students evaluated Oak Bay, Saanich and View Royal last year, all of which have since earned the UN designation. North Vancouver and Nanaimo are the only other Canadian cities that have UN disasterresilient status. “That would be a real feather in our cap,” said Maegan Thompson, Esquimalt emergency program manager. The students, working professionals with extensive experience in related fields such as emergency services or disaster management, began their assignment, known as the Capstone project, April 23. They have since been meeting with Esquimalt managers and CFB Esquimalt officials, as well as attending disaster preparedness meetings. The object is to learn what Esquimalt has in place to help reduce loss of life, as well

Erin McCracken/News staff

Royal Roads University students are debriefed on measures that CFB Esquimalt has in place in the event a disaster strikes, from navy Lt. Dwight Ince, deputy operations and emergency plans officer. The students recently evaluated Esquimalt’s disaster resiliency. as economic and environmental resources, in a disaster. “We’re poring over documents, disaster emergency plans; we’re poring through the websites,” said student team leader Conrad Cowan, a search-and-rescue technician with the Royal Canadian Air Force in Nova Scotia. “We’re engaging the community. We’re interviewing who we think would have the answers to try and get our heads (around) what is in place, what’s not and how can we make this better.” The group planned to present their report to Esquimalt’s mayor and council yesterday (May 10). “It’s an opportunity to look at

our successes and help with future planning, so it may identify gaps,” Thompson said. Other than minimal staff time, the project is free of charge for Esquimalt. Given the calibre of students and the wealth of knowledge they bring to the table, if the municipality had to pay for their evaluation, the price tag would be “massive,” Thompson said. The students have also benefited from working within a community, said Royal Roads associate faculty member Laurie Pearce, who is coaching the students through the Capstone project. “This brings together all of the

elements they learned about community participation, community engagement, key issues in disaster management ... and also gives the community something in return,” she said. emccracken@vicnews.com

Chandler-Gonzales pathway to reopen in 2012 Roszan Holmen News staff

In response to a groundswell of activism, Victoria city council unanimously decided to invest funds to reopen a mid-block pathway in Fairfield this year. The 35-metre Chandler-Gonzales

pathway, owned by the city, connects Pemberton Park with Chandler Street. It has been closed to pedestrians since the mid 1970s. Chain-link fencing and cedar hedging will be installed to protect neighbours’ privacy. The project will cost approximately $250,000 and use up the

majority of the city’s 2012 greenways budget. A group of neighbours dubbing themselves the Committee to Reopen the Chandler-Gonzales pathway has solicited donations for the project, potentially reducing costs by $50,000. The group is also trying to orga-

nize a work party with city employees represented by CUPE Local 50. “It looks like there’s enough momentum behind the project and enough will at the council table to contain costs … that I’m pretty confident the work project will happen,” Coun. Ben Isitt said. rholmen@vicnews.com

Holding the line on taxes in 2012 Esquimalt gives property tax increase the boot Erin McCracken News staff

Esquimalt’s new favourite number is zero. Council agreed in principle Monday night not to raise municipal property taxes this year. The news comes just weeks after council agreed in principle to a 2.49-per-cent tax hike. Nick Kovaks, co-chair of the Esquimalt Residents Association, hopes this achievement will attract more families, business owners and developers to the community. “It sends a message out that we’re looking to do things more efficiently. It gives a tax break to residents and it ties in quite nicely with Esquimalt’s message of ‘We’re open for business, we’re open for development,

come on in,’� he said. Coun. Dave Hodgins agreed it is another step toward further enhancing the township’s reputation. “What drove the process was hearing from the public and the business community that we need to be competitive with our tax rates,� he said. The zero-per-cent increase is largely thanks to “conservative budgeting and budget efficiencies in 2011, which allowed us to appropriate some surplus funds from 2011,� said Laurie Hurst, Esquimalt’s chief administrative officer. Budgeting is done conservatively, in part, because of the uncertainty around assessed values of federal properties in the township, and the timing of federal tax payments, she said. Highlights in the municipality’s 2012 budget include bolstering its capital projects reserve and contingency funds, setting aside funds for potential police transition costs, doing additional

Craigflower Road upgrades and sewer upgrades and developing a multi-modal transportation plan. Not having to raise municipal property taxes is reflective of a lot of hard work, Mayor Barb Desjardins said. “How wonderful to have it happen on our hundredth birthday,� she said. “It is a birthday present to us and to the residents of Esquimalt.� Esquimalt’s 2012 budget is expected to receive formal adoption on Monday (May 14). emccracken@vicnews.com

Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins is looking to discuss community interests with residents and business owners during her next open-door session. People will have 10 minutes each to privately discuss matters with Desjardins. Dropping by is acceptable, but people will be

seen on a first-come, first-served basis. The event happens next Tuesday (May 15), from 4 to 6 p.m., at Esquimalt municipal hall, 1229 Esquimalt Rd. For more information, contact Diane Knight, executive assistant to the mayor, at 250-414-7101. emccracken@vicnews.com

A walk that started off as a way to bring men together to end sexualized violence has become much more. When the international Walk a Mile in Her Shoes campaign began, male participants were encouraged to take a walk in high heels to raise money and awareness. Since the Victoria Women’s Sexual Assault Centre began organizing its own walk six years ago, to coincide with similar events held internationally, men have been joined by their families, friends and other community members. High heels are optional. Last year about 500 attended the walk, an encouraging sign that more people are willing to talk openly about sexualized violence and how it can be stopped, said Quetzo Herejk, the centre’s volunteer co-ordinator and prevention educator. “It’s a topic that’s really socially constructed that it’s not okay to talk about or stand up for, so to have people take a stance against sexual violence is always a positive outlook for sure,� she said. “I think men are socialized to not talk about sexual violence, and so often it gets taken up as a ‘women’s issue’ that women

Live-aboards subject of review Continued from Page A1

The rezoning effectively moved the planes closer to the Wharf Street marina. Live-aboards were not notified of the application because they aren’t technically downtown residents. “The non-status of people living on the boats is a problem,” said Coun. Lisa Helps, council’s liaison for downtown residents. “I don’t know what to do about it. But there’s something backwards or uncertain in my mind about (the harbour authority) saying (to residents) ‘you have to pay us to live on your boat, but we don’t care if there are airplanes flying by, because you don’t actually live here.’” Helps calls it a social justice issue. For some, it’s about housing affordability, she said. “Living in the Inner Harbour – as toxic as that can be – (affordability is) part of why it’s complicated and why people can’t just lift anchor and leave.” Other live-aboards at Wharf Street marina, however, don’t share Yovovich’s concerns, and worry her complaints could get them kicked out. Coun. Lisa Helps “It is a working harbour,” said Rick Schnurr, a marina resident and director of the B.C. Nautical Residents Association, which has a mandate “to preserve and support the tradition of living aboard one’s vessel.” Schnurr and his wife moored their 42-foot converted fish boat at the marina two years ago, but have lived on the water for 15 years. “We’re here, the airplanes are here, the tugboats are here, the barges are here, the tourists are here,” Schnurr said. “We’re all part of the mix and quite frankly, my wife and I choose this environment because it’s exciting, it’s interesting. We don’t want to be in a yacht club.” Meanwhile, the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority is doing its own review. Curtis Grad, who took over as president and CEO last year, said Yovovich’s complaints are symptomatic of deeper-rooted issues. “That whole Inner Harbour, from Belleville all the way to the Blue Bridge, needs to have a comprehensive view so we can start making good planning decisions.” That means finding the most suitable location for all marine activities, including float planes, ferry terminals, transient moorage, whale watchers and live-aboards. Such master plans, however, are years away from implementation. For now, Grad is looking for a short-term solution for the Wharf Street marina. “We will be looking next fall at whether or not we put live-aboards in that particular area of the harbour,” he said. “We haven’t decided yet, but that is a review underway between now and September.”

Correction An editorial about a report by WorkSafeBC on the air quality in the Sedgewick Building at the University of Victoria (Our View, May 2) contained an incorrect statement. It was not confirmed by WorkSafeBC that the mould spores and elevated carbon dioxide levels found during its investigation were contributing to symptoms experienced by employees working in the building.

Clarification A story on Glenlyon Norfolk School’s exemption from city property tax (News, May 2) requires some clarification. The independent school’s reported surplus, $986,631, includes $869,935 in donations targeted mainly for GNS’s building program and financial assistance. The difference, $116,696, is more than usual, according to GNS head of school, Simon Bruce-Lockhart.

Grad wants residents of the 40-odd live-aboard vessels moored in the GVHA’s various marinas to be part of the process, and he has encouraged them to form an association to represent their interests. Schnurr is stepping up to the challenge. “It’s kind of like herding Curtis Grad cats, because we’re such a bunch of independents,” he said, laughing. Challenges aside, he said, “we’d like to be a part of that discussion. That’s the whole reason we’re happy that Curtis proposed that we form this liaison group.” rholmen@vicnews.com

to raise $1.1 million by May 18. It’s an 11th-hour rush the community tried to avoid. Two years ago it approached the Anglican Diocese with an interest in purchasing the property. At that time, the Diocese wasn’t ready to sell and Oaklands bought the former Discovery School instead, where it operates a child care centre. Shortly afterwards, the diocese put St. Albans on the market and a private developer purchased it. The sale was finalized April 16. The developer has a plan to build private homes on the lot, but is willing to sell it to the community instead, at a small profit. “The developer has been terrific in giving us extra time,� Rivait said. Oaklands’ main fundraising strategy revolves around a type of investment to own St. Albans through a self-directed RRSP. “This is a bit of an innovative approach,� said Rivait. The details of the investment and its returns are still being worked out, but it has so far generated $100,000 in pledges, mainly from parents belonging to the Lansdowne Co-operative preschool. Lansdowne operates with low fees and in return, parents help run the school. It’s recognized as the last fully co-operative model of preschool on the Island.

Detectives take over missing man case Erin McCracken News staff

Fuelled by concern for the wellbeing of a Victoria man who has been missing for two weeks, Victoria police detectives are now leading the investigation. Daniel Grandza, 32, was reported missing by a family member May 1, and since then police have twice asked for the public’s help. Grandza was last seen the evening of April 27 at a friend’s home in Fernwood. Since then he has not been to work, nor has he contacted friends or family. He has been known to go on

camping and hiking trips in East Sooke Park, Mount Douglas Park and Mount Finlayson. “We are specifically looking to talk to anyone who may have seen or heard from Daniel since his disappearance,” lead investigator Det. Paul Spencelayh said. “Daniel’s family and investigators are becoming more and more concerned as to his whereabouts.” Grandza is six-feet tall with a slender build, has short blonde hair and green eyes. Anyone with information is asked to call Spencelayh at 250995-7259. emccracken@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW

Timing is right for transit study The move by the Greater Victoria Transit Commission to study five high-traffic volume sections over the next year, with an eye to making them more efficient, is good news for transportation in the Capital Region. The $250,000 study is the kind of expense and planning activity we expect the transit commission to Find efficiencies engage in as a way to improve its product now, before work and reduce delays for ramps up on LRT passengers. Taking action on the final recommendations, in co-operation with municipal and provincial governments, will go a long way toward helping B.C. Transit with another of its constant struggles. That challenge? Convincing more of the thousands of people who still drive to and from work daily that the perceived or real inconvenience of not having their car readily available outweighs the pain of creeping along in traffic twice a day. That, of course, also assumes that the cost of taking transit is comparable or even less than driving. For those who oversee and plan transit in the Capital Region, that objective must be reached to a significant degree before any work begins on building a light-rail transit system. Like the Kevin Costner character in the movie Field of Dreams, who was told by baseball spirits to “build it and they will come,” the transit commission is banking on the notion that people will leave their cars at home in far greater numbers once LRT is in place. Even when (or if) LRT comes to Greater Victoria, it’s not as if the bus system will play second fiddle to rail. In fact, the bus system will be more important than ever as the public finds new ways to connect with the LRT. Looking for ways to make the current system more efficient and user-friendly just makes sense as a way to ramp up its capacity – the ability to move more passengers in the same amount of time or less – and overall ridership in the years leading up to the addition of LRT to the regional transit system.

measures and better controls over events that do run, the biggest benefit of having an athletic commission equipped for MMA is the return of the Ultimate Fighting Championship to Rogers Arena. It’s the horse upon which Bill 50 rides. Where the UFC goes, a hailstorm of money trails closely behind. But the UFC, when it returns, will only run so many shows in Vancouver. It means the big city is open for business. The AFC want in, and so will a lot of people. “Everybody’s going to want to be the next Dana White,” Owen said. “I’m really hoping they are picky about who they give promoters licences too.” Not that Owen is inviting competition, but after giving so many years of his life to the controversial sport, he at least wants to see others put forth a professional product that won’t draw negative press. He’s also worried about the lack of regulations on the amateur events, which tend to be a lot smaller, right down to the Friday night smokers which aren’t even mentioned on Facebook. “(Bill 50) is going to need some time. So I hope it plans on a regulatory body to oversee amateur cards, because right now they aren’t.” Travis Paterson is the regional sports reporter for Black Press on the South Island. sports@vicnews.com

LETTERS University defends its actions, policy on workplace health Cultivation of good in us is required

Re: Workplace health a serious issue (Our View, May 2) The University of Victoria takes the health and safety of its employees very seriously. There is no evidence that mould spores or carbon monoxide levels are causing ill health in the C Wing of the Sedgewick Building. The vast majority of employees in Sedgewick do not report any ill health effects, but we understand that some people may have individual reactions to allergens and variables in the quality of the air inside the building. WorkSafeBC wants more comprehensive testing and documentation to occur and the university has no hesitation in working with the agency to address any lingering health concerns. An environmental consultant has been hired and preliminary testing is already underway. UVic has committed to sharing the results of the air quality tests with our staff and to making any recommended improvements. UVic has long had a culture where employees are welcome to raise any concerns with their managers or through their unions. To imply that someone could be punished for doing so is simply not true. Richard Piskor, director, occupational health, safety and the environment University of Victoria

Re: The fundamental failure of environmentalism (Opinion, May 4) I’m glad David Suzuki is still calling for people to make necessary behavioural changes to save our environment, but he sounds pessimistic. Perhaps he’s discouraged with the many people who ignore the truth that short-term economic gain means long-term environmental pain. Sad to say, human greed seems to be saying “to hell with the future, live for today.� Knowledge of the truth has never been enough to change human behaviour. This is because good and evil are present in every person, as local artist and Pacifica Housing tenant Evan James said in another article in your paper (“Art exhibition brings formerly homeless closer to public,� Arts, May 4). Evil, including self-centredness, arrogance, stubbornness and refusal to face the truth, seems to come naturally to us. Goodness, including loving the world and taking good care of the environment, seems to require special motivation. In my experience, that motivation comes from an appreciation and a gratefulness for the love and care of family, friends and God. As the New Testament says, “We love,

because God first loved us� (1 John 4:19). I have hope for the world because I believe in a benevolent God. I have faith that people can be transformed, individual by individual, by the power of God. This is the business of the church, though we don’t always do well at it. Faith that risks and love that makes sacrifices (which are needed to save our environment) require a lot of cultivation of the mind and nurture of the spirit. Mr. James rightly said regarding the good and evil inside us, “which one outweighs the other is the one you feed the most.� Jim Hill Oak Bay

A better solution might be to heal people so they don’t get sent to jails or hospitals. Restorative Justice is a way of making retribution in community through mediation with the offender and the victim. Victims are usually not given any support for healing and often end up falling apart themselves, winding up at the mercy of some ‘system.’ The problem with healing or wellness solutions is that they are not corporate sanctioned models. On another note, the planned addiction outpatient clinic (News, April 27) is an example of helping people to heal and move forward in a positive way. Joanna Wilkinson Victoria

Justice should include better healing strategies

Just the facts wanted around pipeline protests

Re: Canadian justice in lawyers’ hands (Letters, April 27) In my opinion, the Canadian justice system is an oxymoron. It really does not do justice to victim, offender or community. Jails are very expensive housing and training. Put a minor offender in jail for months or years till a court date is set and imagine what they can learn from their cellmates? The circle continues, perhaps back to the street or on to more violent facilities? One’s ability to hire a lawyer is crucial. Lamb asks, “Does not a surgeon remove dangerous tissue to save the patient?�

A celebrity hockey player recently spoke out against the Enbridge Pipeline project, located in an area he has likely not even visited. The follow-up story was the announcement that the City of Vancouver officially opposes the Trans Mountain expansion project. Now the NDP have decided to hitch their wagon to the well-heeled environmentalists in opposition to both pipelines. The amount of media attention given to the environmentalist agenda argues very strongly for the fact that there is a significant, organized effort on the part

Â?iÂ˜Ăƒ>˜`ĂƒÂ…Ă•ĂŒĂŒiĂ€°Vœ“

of this minority to block any development in this province. Rhetoric such as “bulldozers plowing up mountainsides and rivers,� “the pipeline will destroy pristine wilderness,� “the risk of oil spills will bring destruction to the forests and wildlife,� is just that. No facts, no details, just emotional paranoia. I am writing, not to whine over the well-orchestrated campaign of the “mentalists,� but to ask why no one is presenting the facts. Where are the empirical arguments that can be presented to debunk the environmental balderdash? I would like to know: 1. How wide is the pipeline right-of-way and is there a service road along that right of way for maintenance or emergency? 2. How many spills (that were the responsibility of the pipeline operator), have occurred in the last 10 years? 3. What was the extent of the spill? (gallons, square feet/ meters) 4. Was the area permanently damaged or did remediation restore the ecosystem? 5. How many jobs (directly and indirectly) did the pipeline create? 6. What revenue is contributed to the provincial treasury? Don’t you think the general public would want to know these details instead of the environmentalist propaganda? Eli W. Fricker North Saanich

helped police more proactively investigate budding issues, said Insp. Keith Lindner, head of VicPD’s West Division in Esquimalt. The crackdown sends a message to drug dealers in that neighbourhood that police are watching. “I’ve known there have been problems on and off in that area since prior to my arrival,” Lindner said. “It seemed to ramp up recently though.” If more residents establish Block Watch groups, they would be able to better connect to talk about issues in their neighbourhood, helping nip problems in their infancy, said Esquimalt Block Watch member Bruce Cuthbert. “There’s never going to be enough money for the police to do this just by themselves,” he said.

Improved service would boost ridership and fare revenues, she said, adding it is also important to build ridership in advance of the proposed lightrail rapid transit system. The challenge along the Trans-Canada Highway is that “we (currently run) more buses than we need to just stay on schedule, because we’re caught in that congestion,” said Fortin, who also touted the potential of the studies to iron out inefficiencies. At the meeting, the commission approved the routes that were selected for the studies based on passenger and traffic volume and service levels. Commissioners also agreed to contribute $170,750 to fund the studies. B.C.’s Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure will cover the remainder. To help offset the cost of implementing recommended changes that come out of the studies, municipalities could apply for gas tax funding, Brice suggested. Douglas Street and a section of the Trans-Canada Highway will be studied first, from June to October. Island Highway, McKenzie Avenue and Pat Bay Highway will be the focus from October to March 2013. emccracken@vicnews.com

Big name performers included in this year’s lineup Kyle Wells News staff

Slumber Form 805 Pocket Coil Pillowtop

Intrepid Theatre’s 15th annual Uno Festival is set to hit Victoria stages starting on May 24 and running to June 3, bringing with it vibrant solo works and groundbreaking theatrical programs. Acts ranging from monologues to dance to standup comedy will be showcased in the festival, which started originally as an offshoot of the Fringe Festival. Artistic director and festival curator Janet Munsil has been there from the beginning, first as a general manager and now in her current position. “Victoria doesn’t get a lot of exposure to touring companies from other parts of Canada and the U.S. and elsewhere,” Munsil said. “So this is a chance to bring some people to town. It’s also an opportunity for local artists to develop new work.” Among this year’s notable performances is Carmen Aquirre’s Blue Box, a one-woman show about “love, lust and revolution.” Aguirre is based in Vancouver and is the most recent winner of the CBC’s Canada Reads prize for her novel Something Fierce: Memoirs of a Revolutionary Daughter. “She’s a very charismatic performer. It’s exciting to have her here,” Munsil said. “I’ve seen her perform other solo pieces of her own, so it’s great to get in on this show when it’s relatively new.” A late addition to the festival is Hawksley Workman, who will be performing his work-in-progress concept album for stage The God that Comes. The work is the eccentric songwriter’s take on the story of Dionysus, also known as Bacchus, the Greco-Roman god of wine. Brand new to the festival this year is the

Once loaded on a cell phone or personal audio player, the participant will go to a specific location in downtown Victoria and listen to the play unfold as they are guided through its real-life locations. “A story will unfold that will actually take the audience member down different streets, through buildings that people might not normally go into,” Munsil said. “They get to actually experience the place where they are as the set for the play that they're listening to.” Audio equipment will be available from the festival for those without their own. Press>Play launches at the beginning of the Uno Festival and will run through until the end of the Fringe Festival, towards the end of the summer.

Ron James delivers Embroidery talk could leave you in stitches Paul Rudan News staff

Ron James knows why he made the cut. “It’s not because the prime minister loves me,” says one Canada’s favourite comics. While other CBC-TV shows Submitted photo got the axe when the federal Con- You won’t see Ron James servative govern- sitting down when he ment decided to brings his high-energy hatchet away the comedy routine to the Crown corpora- Royal Theatre on Sunday tion’s funding, night. Tickets are still James’ half-hour available at the box office. bucket of laughs, The Ron James Show, survived. Here’s how, in his own words: “We’re cheap.” Of course there’s far more to that than just a “cheap laugh.” “And we deliver!” he adds. James, of course, is referring to laughs, not pizza. But just in case the bean counters change their mind and ask James to deliver hot pies on Friday night, he’s getting the heck out of Hogtown. James left Toronto April 25 and kicked off his latest tour of B.C. in Campbell River before shuffling down the Island and making stops in the interior and on the Lower Mainland before ending the tour here in Victoria on Sunday, May 13. Island crowds have always been big fans of James’ thoughtful, insightful and rapid-fire style of humour. He returns to the Island every couple of years, but he’s usually so busy he doesn’t have time to have his own fun. That’s changing on this trip west. He has a couple days off, so he’s planning to hire a salmon fishing charter, just to cast a line and chill out on the water. He’ll need the down time because James is still hot with the feds for slashing arts funding. “You know, all we artists do is bring $11 billion into this country,” he says with a sigh during a phone interview. “A lot of people lost their jobs. … I think the cuts were personal and vindictive.” On a completely different note, the Toronto Maple Leafs fan was glad to see the Vancouver Canucks bounced in round one of the playoffs. And, no, it’s not because James despises the ‘Nucks, it’s because if they kept winning, game 7 probably would have been played on the opening night of his tour. “They sure gave us some wiggle room,” he says with a laugh. “I believe in the Leafs which is like believing in the immaculate birth … both are a bit of a stretch.” James hasn’t embraced this year’s style of anything-goes hockey. “Am I watching hockey or a cage match?” he wonders aloud. “And you’ve got a guy like Chara out there who’s 7’2” on skates. It’s like having a villain from a James Bond movie!” James’ standup routines run from 90 minutes to two hours, providing an “eclectic buffet of choices for everyone.” Tickets start at $52.50 at the Royal Theatre. The show starts at 8 p.m. Call the Royal & McPherson Box Offices at 250-386-6121 or 888-717-6121. llavin@vicnews.com

VICTORIA NEWS - Friday, May 11, 2012

MS Carnation Campaign underway With the Mother’s Day weekend upon us, local volunteers and supporters are donning their carnations as they participate in the annual Carnation Campaign for the MS Society of Canada. The carnation is Canada’s oldest and most-recognized symbol of the quest to end multiple sclerosis, and volunteers here in Victoria will join those in more than 280 communities across Canada now through Sunday (May 12), selling carnations in support of MS research and services. Because women are diagnosed with MS three times as often as men, the timing of the campaign resonates with volunteers and the community – many of those living with MS are mothers, while others have mothers affected by this disease. Launched in 1975, the Carnation Campaign has raised more than $45 million since its inception – equal to nine million bouquets of flowers or 27 million individual stems. For more information, visit mssociety.ca Organizers of a May 21 car show at the Langford Costco are seeking support for the fundraiser for B.C.

Victoria rugby clubs could go fourfor-four this weekend with a local squad in each of the four B.C. finals. The B.C. Rugby Union is hosting a day of championship matches at Klahanie Park in North Vancouver on Saturday (May 12), with the James Bay Athletic Association and Velox Valkyries in the premier men’s and women’s finals. The Castaway Wanderers will play for the men’s Ceili’s Cup (Div. 1) title while the Velox Valhallians have a squad in the men’s Provincewide Third Division final. For the Bays, a 23rd Rounsefell Cup championship as the top men’s club in B.C. won’t come easy against Capilano on the latter’s home turf. The Bays defeated Burnaby in the CDI Premier League semifinal last week, while the Caps ousted the defending champion Castaway Wanderers. Oak Bay native Connor Braid led the Bays with 88 points this season, third in the league, despite missing games due to national sevens commitments. “Connor has developed into a real take-charge player and as our No. 10 he has the ability to punish the opposition in a variety of ways,” said Bays coach Peter Rushton. Starting the day’s matches is the Harris Memorial Cup premier women’s final, a 2011 rematch between Burnaby Lake and the Valkyries. The Valkyries have not forgotten last year’s heartbreak loss when Burnaby intercepted a pass in the final minute and ran it back for the gamewinning try. “We’re a different type of squad this year,” said Valkyries coach Aaron Frisby. Valkyries forward Jesse Olynyk, recruited this year from the UVic Vikes, led the league in tries this season with 14, though many of them were team tries with Olynyk finishing them off, Frisby said. Captain Sarah Levson returns after her breakout season in 2010-11.

Victoria Junior Shamrock Brody Eastwood, right, is fourth overall among the leading junior A scorers with seven goals and five assists in four games. Sharon Tiffin/News staff

Jr. ’Rocks gain mental win in loss Travis Paterson News staff

The Victoria junior Shamrocks might have lost 10-7 on the score sheet, but the group came away with a moral victory against the Coquitlam Adanacs on Saturday (May 5). In last year’s playoff series, the Adanacs outscored the Shamrocks 54-9, so when the Shamrocks went up 3-0 on goals by Blair Pinnock, Jordan Cunningham and Brody Eastwood, the Adanacs were in shock. The problem was, so were the Shamrocks. The Ads have been the toast of the B.C. Junior A lacrosse league the past three seasons, but graduated nearly the entire championship roster from 2011. “The Shamrocks are no longer afraid of Coquitlam anymore,� said head coach Larry Smeltzer. “Psychologically, against the Adanacs the last few seasons we were beaten before the game started. But we’ve put that to rest.� The Adanacs came back with a better second period and eventually won the game. But the positives are there, Smeltzer said. Devon Casey scored a hat trick in the loss. Smeltzer got a surprise at the ferry terminal on Sunday morning when three injured players showed up to make the trip to Burnaby.

Russell Kirk, Jake Emms and Jamie Sorensen not only dressed but each scored a goal, as the ’Rocks beat the Lakers 11-6. Adam Brown scored two goals and four assists, Devon Casey had three goals, Brodie Eastwood had two goals and Dane Sorensen scored a single. Goalie Cody Hagedorn made 35 saves in Sunday’s win and also recorded four assists on the weekend. Hagedorn has moved to sixth in team scoring with five assists, as he’s the lynch pin for the club’s fast break, the fruit of the Smeltzer’s old-school transition game which does away with specialization. Instead, players play both offensive and defensive roles until their shift is up, and the group has bought in, Smeltzer said. “Now the ball is back in the coach’s court. We’ve introduced (the system to the players). Now it’s up to us to teach certain intricacies that go with it.� The Jr. Shamrocks host the New Westminster Salmonbellies on Saturday (May 12), 5 p.m. at Bear Mountain Arena.

Royals chose forward Tyler Soy from Cloverdale at eighth overall and used the Brandon Wheat Kings’ 13th overall pick, acquired for Sundher, to nab defenceman Chaz Reddekopp from the Pursuit of Excellence academy in Kelowna. The Royals also selected Regan Nagy (Sask.) 27th; Matthew Campese (Sask.) 49th; Matthew Dykstra (Alta.) 71st; Keith Anderson (Ore.) 115th; Devon Brooks (Alta.) 137th; Oliver Lester (Alta.) 181st; and Brendan Grier (Alta.) 203rd. sports@vicnews.com

Your guide to summer activities

CAMP

Choose the right summer activity for your young camper Attending summer camp has been a tradition here on Vancouver Island for decades. More than simple fun in the outdoors, camp allows children to stay engaged during the summer when there may be limited interaction with school friends. It also gives parents both a safe and viable daycare solution. Summer camp pulls together children from different neighborhoods, social classes and backgrounds, which can make it a good place to meet new people – some of whom may become lifelong friends. Camps also provide a variety of activities that can challenge children to try new things that go beyond their comfort zones. While some children look forward to attending summer camp, others need a little coaxing. But summer camp should never be forced on a child who does not want to go. Instead, consider local daytime programs instead of programs that require being away from home. Once the decision to attend summer camp is made, consider a few questions:

The father of a young real estate agent stabbed to death in a luxury Saanich home four years ago is offering a lucrative witness protection program of sorts to anyone with information that will solve his daughter’s murder. Jeff Buziak says the offer of relocation, a new identity and a “substantial” amount of money is being made because Saanich police have failed to get the right information from the right people. “We’re four-and-a-half years in – the high school dropouts and half-wits who committed this crime are outsmarting the police,” Buziak said. “What’s

wrong with that picture?” His daughter Lindsay, 24, was murdered on Feb. 2, 2008 while showing a home in Gordon Head. Police say they’ve interviewed more than 1,400 people as part of their investigation, and they are convinced among those individuals is someone who knows something. “We’re hopeful that the key piece of evidence comes to us, and we can successfully resolve this. But right now it’s really slow going. And it’s long term because we believe people are withholding information from us,” said Saanich police Sgt. Dean Jantzen. Police are stressing that information should come to them, and not to another source, out of concern that it could cause confusion. “We want to encourage peoLindsay ple who have information to Buziak go through legitimate channels,” Jantzen said. “If information is not collected in an appropriate manner, it can have an impact on the outcome of a case.” While Buziak is aware that police don’t support his new offer, he said he is just trying to provide as much help as he can. “I’m not trying to solve this Jeff Buziak case. I can’t arrest anybody, and I’m not taking the law into my own hands, at this point,” he said. “I do understand Saanich police, at this point, are the ones that solve the crimes, charge the people and arrest them. So on that basis, every bit of information I get that has anything to do with Lindsay’s murder goes to Saanich police.” A $100,000 reward was offered in 2010, but police got no closer to solving the crime with that amount available. Though he would not specify how much he’s offering to a tipster, Buziak says he’s now offering an amount “well beyond any amounts” previously offered. In a statement to the individuals believed to be withholding information, Buziak says his offer will “relieve you of the horrible burden you carry.” “I trust you realize this is your last safe (way) out from this mess. Lindsay’s murder will be solved and if you or your family don’t want to be included in any way when people are arrested, you must make contact soon,” he writes. Jantzen said police are concerned that, with this new offer, fraudsters might try to take advantage of Buziak. “Family members of victims quite often end up becoming fraud victims by someone unscrupulous,” he began, “which is why our investigators need to be involved, for reasons of authenticity and verification.” Police believe that Lindsay Buziak was an innocent party, and her murder was a targeted hit arranged by someone close to her. Investigators assigned to work on this case on a daily basis have narrowed down the investigation to “three or four” working theories, Insp. Rob McColl told the News last year. “(We’re) falling short of our own expectations and we’re falling short of the family’s expectations,” McColl said at the time. He is no longer working on the file. Buziak believes his daughter’s murder will be solved, and he said – given that police aren’t where they want to be in the investigation – what he’s doing is the best possible way of achieving that. “I just feel that the pressure has to be kept on here. We have to try and jostle everyone as best we can.” kslavin@saanichnews.com

Teen filmmaker wins women in politics video challenge Natalie North News staff

Longer maternity leaves, universal daycare and more sex education programs. Those were three of Rebecca Hansen’s winning answers to the question: “What would change if your government was 75 per cent women?” In her filmmaking debut, the Grade 8 student from Arbutus middle school in Saanich addressed the issue of men outnumbering women in in parliament three-toone and caught the attention of female MPs across party lines. Her minute-long, mixed-media video, “What If…” won the Dancing with the Octopus: Women in

Politics’ filmmaking challenge on May 1, along with a $500 prize. “There have been so many issues and scandals and things just don’t seem to be working on Parliament Hill,” Hansen said. “This is a thought about ways to solve it and how ridiculous it is that a first-world country like Canada still has such a low number of female MPs.” Oak Bay-based filmmaker Sandy Mayzell launched the multi-platform media project Dancing with the Octopus – which includes a website, web series, documentary, rock opera and comic book – as a way to engage women over a wide demographic with political questions and political action. Mayzell hoped that by reaching

out through the film contest she would initiate a conversation and hear what the world has to say around the underrepresentation of women in politics. “Creativity is key,” she said. “Asking people to put thoughts together in a creative way helps get their message across better, because it’s not just complaining.” Social media spread word of the contest quickly. Dancing with the Octopus received submissions from around the world, including Istanbul, where the filmmaker captured images of physical violence in parliament. “She showed men literally in fisticuffs, punching each other in the faces,” said Mayzell, who was stunned by the images.

A true story of an unlikely underdog who mastered the money game

My name is Darren Weeks and I am one of the fortunate few who LOVES to talk about money. More specifically, I love to talk about the fundamentals that help people create and protect their wealth. Real independence comes when you learn how to make money work for you. Money knowledge needs to be at your side in all situations... like a trusted friend who does nice things for you on a regular basis.

approach him - and Frank told him Money is ALL about leverage.

you need for creating the independence you crave.

Frank then went on and shared with Rob one of the greatest lessons he had ever learned.

Give us 3 hours of your time and we’ll give you powerful strategies that are guaranteed to change your life.

When your money makes more money for you than your job does... then you are well on your way to financial freedom. If you make $20 an hour at your job - true financial independence begins when the money you invest is making you $25 an hour, without you having to do anything more. Frank showed him how to turn his rental property into 10 properties in just 12 months. Rob Met Darren Rob then came to a Get Rich in Canada event, hosted by myself... and was able to create a $4 million dollar property portfolio in just 24 months.

My company, the Fast Track Group, has been ranked among Canada’s Fastest Growing Companies for two straight years now. Last year, we finished 40th on PROFIT Magazine’s list. In 10 years, I have taken it from 5 employees in one tiny office, to over 100 employees and 12 offices. More than 350,000 Canadians have now attended Fast Track events. All our success has enabled us to support people that inspire us. The Fast Track Group is the title sponsor of Canada’s Luge team and we support them to the tune of over $1 million.

Rob Chaulk came to one of my events in the Spring of 2008. He grew up in a family with a poor dad, and a rich dad (his uncle). So Rob had been given a good start on his money education. But it wasn’t enough. Rob was a hard worker that knew his job wasn’t going to make life any easier. He held careers in the energy and industrial sector. He dabbled in some businesses along the way in the restaurant and towing business. When Rob read Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, he took it seriously and within 30 days he bought his first rental property. He was hooked. He put together a plan for 10 properties in 10 years... his key to retirement. Right around this same time he had lunch with his rich dad (his multimillionaire uncle). Not exactly an easy guy to talk to, his uncle “Frank” was self-made and not easy to approach about money. But Rob did

Master Your Money

Have you ever felt an uncomfortable silence when someone starts getting too personal about money? Why is that? I find it odd that people share their most intimate details with friends and strangers on Facebook, yet completely clam up when the subject of money comes up.

Women on the East Coast of Canada, as well as Afghanistan, South Africa, Switzerland, France and India also submitted videos. “There was a common voice that women all over the world are not getting anywhere near an equal voice with men behaving badly,” Mayzell said. At 13, Hansen was by far the contest’s youngest entrant. The next step for Dancing with the Octopus, Mayzell said, is to promote political involvement – action which begins at the polls. Added Hansen: “As ridiculous as politics sometimes seem, we can change it and we have to show that we’re engaged for politics to ever change.” nnorth@saanichnews.com

Rob Chaulk As Rob says “Money is just the scorecard. When you understand the rules of the game - and how the game works - the money will find you! Now it’s my turn to pass on my knowledge and experience.” While he was building his portfolio of properties, Rob also took his health very seriously. Rob was overweight, had sleep apnea and was sluggish every waking hour. After dropping over 100 pounds Rob found a new lifestyle that had been long lost, and a money mindset that continues to help him and his family with all of the retirement and dreams. Is it your turn to master the money mindset? I am proud to share that my system has worked for everyone who aggressively applied it. You could be the one with a large real estate portfolio and a business or two that runs without you. ...Many people are broke, and will stay that way for the rest of their life.

Make sure you show up, take lots of notes, and immediately start putting these ideas into action. If a completely unknown individual can be in the same situation you are and become financially independent in 5 years or less... why can’t you?

Coastal Swap Meet brings old car hobbyists together Coastal Swap Meet committee member Bill Trant knows how important the annual sale of items related to the old car hobby is. It’s a chance for hobbyists to meet at the Tradex ALYN EDWARDS Trade and Exhibition CLASSIC Centre in Abbotsford to RIDES network and exchange information while swapping parts, pieces and of course, old cars. Bill Trant goes to the swap meet but he doesn’t get a chance to visit. You’ll find him in the office for the entire event after spending the whole year booking vendor stalls. Stall sales are up by 15 per cent this year for an expected total of more than 800 – making this the biggest swap meet in its 43-year history and more work for Bill Trant. He says it’s worth the time and trouble. “You can’t get advice on restoring your car from Ebay and you can’t see the parts or cars you are buying online,“ he says. “It’s a chance for old friends to meet and new relationships to develop at one place and at one time.” Networking kept his 1910 Buick Model 17 on the road and saved Bill Trant an enormous amount of time and money. After owning the ancient car that he bought in Redding, Ca for 21 years, the crankcase broke at the centre main bearing. He was on a vintage car tour in Surrey last year when he suddenly heard a loud bang and the engine started to shudder. When he pulled the engine apart, he was astonished to see the aluminum crankcase had effectively

broken apart in the middle and was beyond repair. “I panicked because you could never find a replacement engine,“ he says. Researching the problem online, he found an article by a knowledgeable Model 17 owner which said that there were only two kinds of original Model 17 Buick engines: ones that have broken and ones that are about to break. The original castings were of very grainy weak aluminum and every one

Over three nights and two spectacular driving days, drivers and passengers will get exclusive first-hand experience of the exceptional performance and everyday usability of the newest generation of Porsche roadsters.

The Porsche Travel Club is an exclusive “first-drive” opportunity before the car’s official on-sale date in Canada, on June 30. The tour begins on the rocky coastline of Vancouver Island, then winds through primeval forests and along the shore of pristine glacial lakes, taking in some of Canada’s best driving roads on the way to Tofino and back. In addition to the Porsche Travel Club, Porsche Cars Canada continues to offer other exciting driving programs, including Camp4 Canada, a comprehensive winter driving program on a dedicated snow and ice driving circuit. Porsche Canada will offer only two fourday waves of Travel Club Canada. The first wave runs from June 25 to 28 and the second wave from June 28 to July 1.

Swap Meet Continued from Pg. B1

wooden patterns made and a dozen replacement crankcases cast by a local foundry. He kept only one – just in case. Bill Trant was aware that the man he had visited so many years ago had passed away so, in desperation, he looked up another Model 17 owner in the Horseless Carriage Club of America roster to enquire as to the whereabouts of the wooden patterns. By sheer luck, that owner in Shrewsbury, Mass. had acquired the original patterns for the replacement crankcase. He offered to have an aluminum crankcase cast at a local foundry and said he would only charge $1,800. Bill Trant would have paid four times that amount. Then the enthusiast told him

less than $10,000 with a broken engine. You just can’t do this type of repair without new parts.� Bill Trant and a dozen other devoted committee members support the swap meet because it promotes the hobby and enables relationships that result in hobbyists being able to keep their vintage and classic cars on the road. More than 5,000 people are expected to attend the swap meet at the Tradex Trade and Exhibition Centre at the Abbotsford Airport. The Coastal Swap Meet starts next Friday (May 25) from 2 to 9 p.m. Visit Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, visit www. coastalswapmeet.com

about a local machinist who had the proper jigs to machine the crankcase and had done about 30 of them. He also charged $1,800. Upon receiving the part in Vancouver, Bill Trant and brother Peter poured the babbit bearings so Vancouver’s Pacific Parts could line bore the crankcase to fit the crankshaft. Once the engine was back together, it ran perfectly. Bill Trant demonstrated this by letting the author drive the 102-year-old Buick through Vancouver’s horsey Southlands area. The big touring car ran beautifully and was amazingly easy to drive. The engine rebuild with the new crankcase had only cost $6,000. “Without this help, my car would be worth next to nothing,� the retired engineer says. “If my car is worth $60,000 today, it was probably worth

Audi, BMW, Chrysler, Daimler, Ford, General Motors, Porsche and Volkswagen have agreed to support a harmonized single-port fast charging approach that will be seen on vehicles as soon as 2013.

Global automakers agree on EV fast charging METROLAND MEDIA WHEESTALK.COM

Global automakers from the United States and Germany have developed a fast-charging technology that will enable the recharging of most electrified vehicles with compatible systems in as little as 15 to 20 minutes. Audi, BMW, Chrysler, Daimler, Ford, General Motors, Porsche and Volkswagen have agreed to support a harmonized singleport fast charging approach – called DC-fast charging with a Combined Charging System – for use on electric vehicles in Europe and the United States. The combined charging system integrates one-phase AC-charging, fast three-phase ACcharging, DC-charging at home and ultra-fast DC-charging at public stations into one vehicle inlet. This will allow customers to charge at most existing charging stations regardless of power source and may speed more affordable adoption of a standardized infrastructure. The International Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has chosen the Combined Charging System as the fast-charging methodology for a standard that incrementally extends the existing Type 1-based ACcharging. The standard is to be officially published this summer. The system maximizes capability for integration with future smart grid developments through common broadband communication methods regardless of the global location of the charging system. The combined charging approach will reduce development and infrastructure complexity, improve charging reliability, reduce the total cost-of-ownership for end customers and provide low maintenance costs. Commercially available combined charging stations are projected to be available later this year. First vehicles using this technology will be launched to the market in 2013.
