Constance Court resident Giovanni Borella is concerned about the cellphone towers installed on the roof of the complex.
Esquimalt will soon learn whether it will be allowed to contract RCMP services for policing or told to stick with the Victoria Police Department. “We are in the final stages of discussions with Victoria and Esquimalt,” Justice Minister Shirley Bond said. “I can assure you this process will be completed soon, and we will be in a position to release the mediator’s report and announce a policing plan shortly.” Esquimalt’s policing and law enforcement advisory panel hoped to hear back late last year, after it submitted its RCMP recommendation to Bond’s office in June 2011. Instead, the province called for a third-party mediator to review the funding, governance and dispute-resolution issues plaguing the Victoria Police Board. That report was submitted in late January and presented to board members in recent months. “(That report has) been confused as a solution (for the) long term,” said Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins, chair of the township’s police panel. The panel is advocating for more control of its policing costs and to be consulted on the style of policing delivered in the community. Residents are more than ready for any decision. “(They’re) at a point where, ‘let’s just make a decision and move on,’” said Nick Kovacs, co-chair of the Esquimalt Residents Association. “(Residents) feel like the position has been debated to death.” Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin, who chairs the Victoria Police Board, declined to comment. emccracken@vicnews.com

Moving time again for francophone high schoolers École Victor-Brodeur transferring secondary students to Lampson school Erin McCracken News staff
Amid growing demand for French language education, the region’s only public francophone elementary and high school is relocating its senior students to free up space. École Victor-Brodeur will begin offering grades 8 to 12 at the former Lampson Street elementary in Esquimalt in September. Kindergarten to Grade 7 classes will remain at the main school site at 637 Head St. The move means a quick departure for the current tenants of the Lampson property, the Military Family Resource Centre and CFB Esquimalt’s language training centre. The resource centre’s daycare
will stay for another three years. Since the students moved into a bigger and better Victor-Brodeur school in January 2007, enrolment has swelled by 66 per cent, to 612. It was built to accommodate 540 students. For the 2011-12 school year, enrolment has stood at 168 high school and 444 elementary school students. “We are planning for 650 (in September), so there is no more space,” said Bertrand Dupain, principal at Victor-Brodeur. The boom is attributed to growing awareness of the existence of the lone francophone school, more eligible families exercising their right to have their children educated in French, and a moderate increase in francophones to
The former Lampson Street School will soon host École Victor-Brodeur’s high school. The Lampson property has most recently been home to a resource centre for military families and a language training centre for military personnel at CFB Esquimalt. Erin McCracken/ News staff
Erin McCracken/News staff
Bertrand Dupain, principal of École Victor-Brodeur elementary and high school in Esquimalt, is preparing to move his high school students to the former Lampson elementary for this fall. the region. According to the Victoria Francophone Society, an estimated 7,000 francophones live in Greater Victoria. The Victor-Brodeur Parents Association has only heard positive feedback about the upcoming move. “Parents are happy that we’re going to have more room, because we were running into a room problem,” association president MariePierre Lavoie said. If not for the relocation, she added, Victor-Brodeur would have faced a shortfall of two or three classrooms come September. Conseil Scolaire Francophone, the francophone school board that governs public French-language schools in B.C., approached the Greater Victoria School District in April in hopes of leasing the seismically-upgraded Lampson property as an interim solution to overcrowding. “We’d like to be all in the same building, but there is a limit to this building,” said Sylvain Allison, board secretary-treasurer. “And we’re very happy that we surpassed the capacity in a way because

The suspect had been taken to hospital for precautionary purposes earlier in the evening, after witnesses say a man was yelling at bystanders and struck a person outside the Salvation Army at 525 Johnson St. Police recommended the man be charged with assault causing bodily harm relating to the hospital incident, and common assault for the downtown incident. The suspect was scheduled to appear for a telebail hearing Tuesday. He was also wanted on an arrest warrant issued out of Kelowna.

Erin McCracken News staff
Victoria’s police chief is relieved his officers, and their policing counterparts elsewhere in the province, can once again rely on B.C.’s tough drinking and driving laws, after amendments took effect last Friday. “We think that this process has triggered a very positive change in people’s attitudes and people’s behaviour (toward impaired driving),” said Chief Const. Jamie Graham, who also chairs the traffic safety committee of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police. Under the amended legislation governing immediate roadside prohibitions – which include driving bans, vehicle impoundments and fines – the rights of drivers wanting to challenge their breath test and appeal their penalties have been beefed up. Motor Vehicle Act laws governing this were ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of B.C. last fall. The recent amendments allow police to more efficiently tackle drunk driving, but also strengthen the rights of accused drivers. In addition to the strength-

Sam Devana check for impaired drivers at a checkpoint during the 2011 holiday season on Douglas Street. ened administrative review process, police now must inform drivers that they can challenge the results of their first breath sample by providing a second sample on a different screening device. The lower of the two readings now takes precedence, rather than the second reading trumping the first, as was the case before the changes. To further bolster fairness for drivers, B.C.’s Office of the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles will review the reliability of screening device results, and ensure police issued a driving ban based on the lowest reading. Police are also now required to submit sworn reports on roadside prohibitions to the superintendent’s office, as well as documentation on the calibration of screening devices.
Before immediate roadside prohibitions were brought into force in September 2010, police relied on the Criminal Code to penalize impaired drivers, a paperwork-intensive process that delayed officers at the police station or in court. Thanks to the amended legislation, police once again have at their disposal penalties that send a zero-tolerance message to impaired drivers, Graham said. “In my view, this is the toughest impaired driving process in the country.” In the year after the immediate roadside sanctions came into effect, there was a 40-percent decline in alcohol-related traffic deaths, according to the province. emccracken@vicnews.com

Faced with roughly 100 initiatives, Victoria council sharpened their pencils Monday and gave each item a score of one to five. Those with the most points will form the priorities for the next three years – and the ranking tells the story of a more prudent council. Three years ago, council touted affordable housing as its top priority, resulting in the purchase of two Traveller’s Inns. While the new council is still committed to completing these motel conversions, the word housing appears nowhere near the top of the new priority list. “Update the comprehensive housing strategy� ranks below 30 other initiatives. “As you go through times of austerity, you need to remem-
ber what’s important and what needs to be preserved ‌ and what it is that we no longer need to be doing,â€? said Mayor Dean Fortin. “We have to live within our means and our means are very meagre.â€? Tied for first place are two initiatives: develop a budget-reduction strategy – with an eye to limiting property tax increases – and examine public transportation options, such as bus-only lanes. Other high-ranking priorities focus on finding ways to increase city revenue, plus encourage business and economic development. The ideas of establishing a city museum, a firefighters’ truck museum and a children’s museum were ranked last in a list of roughly 100. Monday’s meeting was opened up to the public thanks largely to Coun. Lisa Helps, who voted down a motion to close
the meeting and urged her colleagues to do the same. A previous priorities-setting meeting in May was closed to the public so council could discuss potential staff layoffs. Next up, staff will add a dose of reality to council’s new wish list. Cost estimates for the topranked initiatives will ground the next discussion, not only in terms of what’s wanted, but what the city can afford. The final list will be determined at the council table. rholmen@vicnews.com

Vic High grads celebrate, 50 years out A lot of water flows under the bridge in five decades

Unlike one’s 10-year graduation reunion, when the peacocks are still strutting; or the 20th or 25th, when people are likely to hear about kids and compare hair loss and waistlines, a 50th grad reunion has a different atmosphere, says Irene Pitt. The former Irene Barrick, now 68, has been helping chase down fellow members of Vic High’s class of 1962 for this week’s festivities taking place at the school, the Royal Victoria Yacht Club and the University of Victoria. About 125 former students and Photo from Vic High 1962 yearbook 35 spouses are attending. The 1962 Vic High Titans rugby team, led by coach Don Smyth, top left, poses for a photo.

The Victoria Foundation & Black Press Working Together – how philanthropy shapes our community Trent Henry and Tina Tejano, students at Dunsmuir Middle School, participate in the Victoria READ Society’s Capturing Stories program – one of various projects serving the Aboriginal community supported by the Victoria Foundation. Rose Guedes and her five-year-old son Pearson in the playground of Little Paws Pre-School at the Victoria Friendship Centre. The playground features a dugout canoe and miniature big house to help promote awareness and knowledge of Aboriginal culture.
Taking Steps to Instill Cultural Pride It’s circle time at Little Paws Preschool in Saanich and it begins with a drum and a song. “If we were to be attending a gathering in a big house, we’d be using masks and dancing and singing, so we try to incorporate as much of that into the preschool as we can,” said Leslie McGarry, culture and community liaison director for the Victoria Native Friendship Centre. Located at the Friendship Centre, Little Paws features Aboriginal culture as the foundation of its curriculum and program and it welcomes the Aboriginal community. “We encourage the parents and our elders to come in and share teachings from their generations about how things differ from 50 years ago,” said Margot Edwards, Little Paws Preschool director. “I wasn’t able to grow up with a lot of traditional culture in my life so the cultural component is really nice because I feel like my daughter’s going to have that advantage,” said Jessica Bender-North, a Métis First Nation member. “I never went to preschool but in kindergarten we never learned about our heritage or going out to watch salmon spawn and stuff like that,” said Jeff Lincoln, a Nisga’a First Nation member, “and to me, it’s really good that the children are gaining back what we never had when we were going to
school.” There are 20 children in the class, ranging from three to five years old. First Nations children have first priority, and then it’s open to the community. As a foster mom for 23 years, that welcoming philosophy means a lot to France Cyr. “Being that I am Caucasian, coming here gives the First Nation children that I look after an opportunity to be close to their people and their culture,” said Cyr. With the focus on all Aboriginal cultures from the local territories to Cree, Ojibwa and others, Little Paws is bringing pride and self-esteem to the next generation. “Many of them will step out and say, ‘I’m First Nations,’” said McGarry “Even if they are not clear about which territory they come from, there’s a sense of pride that’s instilled at this age level that carries through to school age.” School age and beyond. This story is based on a Vital People feature by reporter Vee Cooper that originally aired on CHEK News @ 5. The Victoria Foundation sponsors the weekly feature each Sunday to share the stories of people and organizations working on the issues highlighted in the Victoria’s Vital Signs® community report that the foundation publishes annually.

Transport Canada land up for grabs Harbour Rd. property up for $2.3M Roszan Holmen News staff
The fate of the northern half of David Foster Way is up in the air, as Transport Canada looks to sell off several of its remaining parcels of land on Victoria’s Upper Harbour. Ten years ago, the federal body started divesting its land holdings. Today, it retains only about 10 per cent. Many of the remaining properties line the waterfront between the Johnson Street Bridge and Bay Street Bridge. “These properties have been built up and landscaped,� said Transport Canada spokesperson Rod Nelson. “(We are) planning to contact the upland owners to determine their interest in acquiring those properties.� The sale of two of its parcels has already been finalized. Last week, Reliance Properties announced it had purchased a lot behind the Janion Building on Store Street, which the company plans to redevelop. It sold for $675,000. Transport Canada also announced an agreement to transfer land at Barclay Point in Rock Bay to the Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations for $2.8 million. The City of Victoria has an interest in the future of the remaining federal properties, insofar as it wants to maintain a public walkway along the shoreline. In late May, the city honoured David Foster by naming the harbour walkway after the world-famous music producer. The walkway runs from Ogden Point to the Johnson Street bridge, but the city aims to continue the path northward to the Bay Street Bridge. Transport Canada has pledged to consider the city’s interests as it moves forward. “The department is working with the City of Victoria to preserve public access to existing walkways
around the harbour,� Nelson confirmed. “We’re comforted by those statements,� said Mayor Dean Fortin. “We don’t have a concern so much (with) ownership (of the land), we just want to make sure that the appropriate zoning is in place.� Because municipal zoning does not apply to federal land, city staff plan to review the zoning in place along
the foreshore, ideally before any land is purchased by private interests. Transport Canada is selling one final piece of property inland from the shore. For sale is a triangular 0.24-hectare lot at 202 Harbour Rd., located at the junction with Esquimalt Road. Pemberton Holmes has the property listed at $2.3 million. Two high-profile lots, Laurel Point Park,
which surrounds the Laurel Point Inn; and Laurel Point Pond, will not be changing hands for now. Transport Canada has determined those parcels of land have high levels of contamination. It is exploring environmental management options for those sites before it will consider any land transfers. rholmen@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW
Saanich opens tagging canvas You might notice graffiti tags popping up and remaining in place in Saanich over the next fiscal year. Under a mandate to cut back budgets by one per cent, the district’s public works department axed its roads division’s graffiti removal program, which is worth about $30,000. This funding paid for staff to paint over or wipe clean tags from municipal benches, walls and overpasses. Now unless the graffiti is profane, it won’t be removed. Saanich is a large, expensive municipality to run and such decisions are never easy, but allowing graffiti tags to go unchecked is one of the worst forms of inaction a local government can commit. Squiggled tags and random attempts at art painted across telephone poles, fences, bridges and other public structures is the kind of vandalism that begets vandalism. The longer graffiti stays in an area, the more the graffiti bleeds out. For many residents across the region, graffititagged streets create perceptions that the block is seedy or dangerous, and the people don’t care about their neighbourhood. For local businesses, it drives away potential customers and gives areas bad reputations. Colwood, a city with many budget woes of its own, decided to roll the dice and invested tax dollars in a bylaw officer dedicated to removing graffiti, tracking tags and gathering evidence, as well as organizing community cleanups. That city has sent a message that taggers will be tracked, fined or criminally charged. Victoria has offered its citizens an antigraffiti program that offers free cleanup kits, but largely depends on volunteers taking an interest in their community. Saanich is offering the same, and hopefully residents step up to the plate when tags linger. But in the meantime, Saanich has placed itself in the position of a double-standard – homeowners are required to remove tags from their property, but the district isn’t. It also runs the risk of eventually spending more tax dollars on cleanup, as taggers realize parts of the municipality are an open canvas. What do you think?

Not only are you route, or maybe knew where they’re putting yourself at risk, you’re going, fewer rash decisions would putting other drivers around you in be made on the road.
Drivers who recklessly weave in and out of lanes, simply because they’re impatient or in a hurry, are another problem. If it’s rush hour and everybody is stuck in traffic, driving in and out of lanes won’t get you any further than anyone else. According to ICBC, almost 60 per cent of crashes are caused by speeding and distracted drivers. Distracted driving is defined as using communicative or video equipment while operating a vehicle, as well as inattentive driving. High-risk driving includes failing to yield right of way, tailgating, improper passing and speeding. Speeding seems to be one habit drivers just can’t drop. I don’t think I go a day without witnessing a driver zoom past me, whether on the highway or in a 50 km/hr zone. Unless speeding up is necessary to safely pass a car, drivers shouldn’t let their impatience rule their decision-making. Just as drivers shouldn’t let dumb decisions, such as texting while driving, determine how safe roads are for others. Laws exist for a reason. And unless we want our next paycheque to go toward paying for a speeding ticket, or worse, a hospital bill, it’s important to re-evaluate our driving habits and make an effort to drive safely.

LETTERS City’s dog rules necessary for safety Re: On-leash animals unpredictable (Letters, June 15) I favour restrictive controls over dogs in the city of Victoria. Over the years I have been threatened and harassed frequently while running or cycling. I have even been bitten several times. Restrictive rules are necessary because too many dog owners are selfishly unconcerned with the comfort and safety of others. Restrictive rules, combined with social pressure, have at least helped control the amount of dog droppings on sidewalks or pathways. Let me say something in favour of cats in the city: I have never been chased or bitten by a cat while out running, cycling or walking. Nor have I ever stepped on their droppings on sidewalks or pathways (last week I stepped in dog droppings in someone’s garden, so it is not just cats that soil yards). Children are very rarely, or never, seriously mauled by domestic cats. Cats are simply better suited for the city than dogs because they are smaller, cleaner and nonthreatening to passers-by. Ed Janicki Victoria
As Queen goes, so goes Royal Family Re: Queen’s reign offers stability (Our View, June 8)
In the public’s emotional mind, 60-plus years on the throne will have inextricably identified the British monarchy with its (possibly) longest-serving Queen, having set the Royal bar to virtually unattainable heights for even the “Wills and Kates” of the succession order. For the people – and they’ll always be the ones that count – the Queen has become the monarchy and the monarchy has become the Queen. Ironically, the Queen’s uniquely personal success may well prove a harbinger of the Crown’s eventual constitutional demise. Once she’s gone, the falling “republican” dominos of the Commonwealth countries may well hasten Britain’s process of rethinking its constitutional foundations. Indeed, that process has already started with a debate on an elected House of Lords. What must not happen is for the monarchy simply, over time, to become the victim of popular indifference. Edward Bopp Tsawwassen
School trustees right to stand on principle Is it legal for the provincial government to fire dulyelected school board trustees? The education minister will fire the Cowichan District trustees if they don’t file a balanced budget by the end of this month. Five of the trustees ran for election on a platform
to restore some of the services that have been cut from their district in the last three years. The community elected them based on that and they kept their word, voting 5-4 to submit a restorative budget to the government. In order to file a balanced budget, the trustees would have to cut even more services from the schools in the district, thereby betraying the people of the community who elected them. Greater Victoria School District trustees would be on the firing line alongside those in Cowichan, but for one vote. What services did our trustees have to cut to keep their jobs? Contrary to what we hear from government about how they are spending more money on education and how there are fewer students every year, our school districts are forced to continue cutting programs and services to comply with the School Act and balance the budget.
If we want to fire any of our elected representatives, Education Minister George Abbott, for instance, we would have to engage in a recall process whereby the people get to vote. The Cowichan community that elected these trustees should have a say in this matter. Heather Brown Victoria
Pope having butler raises eyebrows I have long suspected that organized religion is a humandirected business where, in some cases, the real capital is not in souls, but rather power and the bottom line. I remember the parable where money-lenders were evicted from the temple by the only real prince of the church, then I read the present Pope has a butler – while others live in abject poverty. The Vatican Bank? How do you spell hypocrisy? Stephen Lamb Victoria

Heritage home restoration gains kudos from committee Homeowners applauded for work on ‘Captain’s house’ Erin McCracken News staff
Jim and Carole Witter own a historically rich home in Esquimalt that boasts a story unlike any other. For their efforts in restoring the residence at 507 Head St., which Capt. Victor Jacobson built in 1893 as a wedding promise to his wife Minnie, the Witters have been recognized with an Esquimalt Heritage Recognition Award. Acting on a recommendation from the Esquimalt heritage advisory committee, council presented the award Monday night. “It is so well-known, it has been so wellphotographed,” said Sherri Robinson, Esquimalt volunteer archivist and committee member, of the home known as ‘The Captain’s.’
Jacobson, a prominent sealing captain, promised his bride in 1888 that he would build her a new home. The couple briefly lived in ‘The Big House,’ as they called it, preferring to reside on Jacobson’s ship, Distributor, moored nearby in West Bay. “Recognition
regarding the preservation of this distinctive landmark in Esquimalt is an honour that we share with all who have been stewards of Capt. Jacobson’s house for close to 120 years,” Carole Witter said in an email. It’s hoped the award will encourage other homeowners
to preserve their historical treasures. “When this is your only house like this in the area, it makes it that much more important, and the desire to hang onto it is even greater,” Robinson said. “That house makes our community better.” emccracken@ vicnews.com

Subsidized housing options are few: resident Continued from Page A1
Council voted unanimously on Monday to send a resolution to that effect to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. Admitting he is no expert on the health and safety of the antennas, Morrison said community aesthetics are of â&#x20AC;&#x153;huge concernâ&#x20AC;? to him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you start putting excessive amounts of these antennas on rooftops all over the community, it starts to have a really negative affect.â&#x20AC;? The issue gets more complicated, however, when it comes to nonprofits. Kaye Melliship, executive director of the Greater Victoria Housing Society, says the antennas represent a significant source of revenue. Leases with three telecommunications companies bring in $45,500 annually, most of which is allocated to opening Kaye Melliship new affordable housing projects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always looking for money to do our business and keep our housing affordable, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very important,â&#x20AC;? Melliship said. While she acknowledged residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; concerns, she points out the antennas are properly licensed and regulated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going under the assumption that they are perfectly safe, and if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe the science, then you have to make your own choices,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing more we can do about that.â&#x20AC;? Constance Court resident Attila Szabo, however, questions residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ability to make a free choice. While condo owners can vote on whether to install communications towers, he and other residents at Constance Court werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t given opportunity for input. Moreover, they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easily find another subsidized apartment, he argued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people that want to move out of here are kind of stuck (saying), â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Gee, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really feel itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s healthy for me, but if I move, I lose my subsidy,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he said. rholmen@vicnews.com

Benefit aims to break stigma of mental illness Brittany Lee News staff
Having a mental illness doesn’t make a person weak. A group of friends organizing a fundraiser dance in memory of Samuel Whitehead want people to know that it’s OK to admit to having a mental illness, and that it’s OK to ask for help. Sam’s Groove, an event to raise awareness and funds for mental health, is being held at the Bay Street Armoury tomorrow (June 23). It’s about moving forward and helping people who need it, said Troy Sauer, one of the event organizers. “Part of it is keeping Sam’s memory alive and doing some-
thing like this in honour of him,” he said. “A bigger part, for me personally, is raising awareness for mental health issues. “We are standing as one voice to say that mental illness is a disease like any other and the social stigma of it as a weakness needs to be eliminated.” For people with mental illness, it seems that help is not always available, Sauer said. He hopes the event raises awareness that help is out there. Proceeds go towards patient care programs and equipment for the Archie Courtnall Centre for Mental Health. Tickets, $15, include a gourmet dinner by chef Kendall Boggs and live music by local bands
Step Back Dave, Sweet Leaf and Tuff Jelly. There will also be a 50-50 raffle and silent auction. The event is semi-formal and open to people 19-over. People may also donate to the cause by visiting canadahelps. org. Search for Victoria Hospitals Foundation, specify the area of need as mental health, and indicate Sam’s Groove Benefit in the message area. The fundraiser runs from 7 to 11 p.m. in the officers’ mess at the armoury, 715 Bay St. Tickets may be purchased at Sitka Surf and Skate Shop, 570 Yates St. and at the door if available.

Hartland dump tour promises to be educational This Sunday (June 24), Hartland Landfill is opening its doors and offering tours, an event that happens every two years. People can see the final resting place for all those apple cores, chicken bones, plastic bags and food wrappers casually tossed in the trash. “For residents ... this is a chance for them to see where
all their garbage disappears to,” said Monique Booth, communications co-ordinator with the Capital Regional District. The event doesn’t just feature large fields of household trash, it offers education on the upcoming kitchen scraps program, which will phase out organic waste from the landfill by 2015. The open house runs from
10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., at 1 Hartland Ave. The landfill is not open for garbage dropoff that day. Hartland is offering bus rides from Camosun College’s Interurban campus to ease parking congestion. Parking at the college is free on Sunday. Book a seat by Friday at 250-474-9613. See www. crd.bc.ca/waste/hartland. editor@saanichnews.com

Crew packs a punch in six words SixWordSkits produces five videos each week Erin McCracken News staff
Six words can say a lot. Legend has it that Ernest Hemingway thought so, rising to the challenge of penning a complete work in six words: “For sale: Baby shoes, never worn.” Taking a page from the American author and journalist, Victoria residents Darryl LeCraw and Alex Miller recently began filming skits featuring just six words of dialogue. A friend of LeCraw’s mentioned the Hemingway legend, given the elaborate nature of a series of online shows that LeCraw and Miller started producing in 2009. Though they continue to produce The Skit For Brains Show, their small, tight-knit group of cast and crew is now focusing much of its time filming SixWordSkits. Using just six words, they tell stories of zombies, revenge and
even a sea monster. “We’re big fans of the nonsequitur, like Monty Python, where at the end of it something happens where you didn’t see it coming,” says LeCraw, 32, a warehouse support worker by day. “Absurdity,” adds Miller, 27, a carpenter. The rules seem simple: actors can only say a maximum of six words in a skit, repeated words don’t count. Words can include slang and popular lingo. “Weird mouth noises” don’t count, Miller says. “We reserve the right to modify and amend the rules whenever we think it’s funny. “By limiting us, it challenges us to come up with more action, more facial (expressions) and gag jokes,” he explains. “It’s sometimes easy to come up with the idea, but getting it to the point where it’s like, ‘Yes, let’s film this,’ that’s a good challenge,” adds LeCraw. They have filmed in Victoria, Oak Bay, Esquimalt and beyond, since an idea for a skit can strike at any time. “Darryl once filmed a skit in the middle of the ice fields of Alberta while working on a docu-
mentary,” says Miller. Despite the challenge of coming up with several skits a week, the team revels in pushing the creative envelope. “If we could pay the bills with SixWordSkits, we would make our day job writing (and) filming pilots for our own original shows (and) films,” Miller says. For now, the group is focused on building an audience, and having fun. “We know the film industry is a giant maze of broken dreams, popularity contests and failed careers, so as long as we can do what we want to do, we are happy,” Miller says. A new skit is posted at www. sfb.tv each day, Monday through Friday. emccracken@vicnews.com Actor Johnny Love hangs on a chain link fence with the help of skit co-writers, editors and producers Darryl LeCaw and Alex Miller, at front, while cameraman Josh Zed and soundman David Jones work on filming a SixWordSkit on Broad Street.

Big Bad Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pub celebrates 50 years in Victoria
Jennifer Blyth Business Beat
When Big Bad Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was conceived in 1962 by the owners of the Strathcona Hotel as a zany, oneyear experiment to add flavour to Victoria and provide a unique atmosphere to those visiting from the Seattle Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fair, who would have thought it would still be around 50 years later? Celebratory events are scheduled between June 25 and July 1 for the downtown pub, famous locally for a decor that included peanut shells on the floor and bras hanging on the walls, among other items. Various food and drink specials, prizes and
music are in store, plus draws for 50th anniversary Big Bad Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s T-shirts. Find the pub at 919 Douglas St. or visit strathconahotel.com/BigBadJohns.
New & Notable The Hotel Grand Pacificâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jordan Mieczkowski faces a long, hot summer in the kitchen as he trains to take on chefs from around the world Sept. 14. Mieczkowski will represent Canada at the Jeunes Chefs RĂ´tisseurs Competition in Berlin, competing against other entrants under age 27 from 25 other countries in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;black boxâ&#x20AC;? event. Each chef will receive an identical, previously unidentified â&#x20AC;&#x153;market basketâ&#x20AC;? containing certain mandatory ingredients and must then create and execute a three-course menu for four people. The Gorge Pointe Pub has a new look and new menu focusing on the history of the local area and offers a fusion of traditional pub fare and West Coast cuisine. The pub is located at 1075 Tillicum Rd. at the site of the old Gorge Hotel along the Gorge waterway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Gorge has a rich history, which weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried to integrate into our new brand. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find

Help your visitors travel worry-free. With the summer vacation season drawing near, some of us will be hosting family and friends from abroad and looking to make their stay as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. There are a number of things you can do to take good care of your guests, like ensuring they are properly covered in case they need medical attention during their visit. Before they arrive, discuss the importance of having travel insurance protection for the duration of their stay. Medical expenses for nonBritish Columbian residents are not covered by the provincial government. If your visitors arrive with no travel insurance protection, BCAA’s Visitors to Canada Travel Insurance coverage can provide up to $300,000 in emergency medical protection. BCAA’s Visitors to Canada Travel Insurance offers coverage for items such as hospital expenses and prescription drugs, as well as other options like trip cancellation insurance. In addition, coverage is worldwide (except in the visitor’s home country), as long as the majority of their time is spent visiting in Canada.
TRAVEL INSURANCE WITH
MARCI-LYN BRAITHWAITE requirement. For example, the Parent and Grandparent Super Visa allows relatives to visit for up to two years, and travel insurance coverage is required for the application. BCAA’s Visitors to Canada Travel Insurance can be purchased for visitors coming to Canada on a Super Visa, to meet the application requirement. It pays to do your research and seek out the right travel insurance policy. Nonresident health coverage rates vary by province, type of treatment and the patient’s condition, but in general, a daily hospitalization rate can be quite costly. Call or visit your nearest BCAA location to learn more about how BCAA Visitors to Canada Travel Insurance can help protect your guests from costly medical expenses, or go to bcaa.com/visitors to learn more. Marci-Lyn Braithwaite is an Insurance Advisor at BCAA. She can be reached at marci-lyn.braithwaite@bcaa.com.

Ryder Hesjedal’s champagne moment with his first maglia rosa, won on Stage 7 of the 2012 Giro d’Italia.
Olympic support Prior to the naming of Canada’s Olympic cycling team yesterday Ryder Hesjedal announced he’d be donating money to the team, even if he wasn’t part of it. The Giro d’Italia champion said this week he’ll be donating half of the $10,300 proceeds from the sale of his Italian maglia rosa (pink leaders jersey) to the CAN Fund to support the cyclists who will be going to the London Olympics. The other half will support Ryder’s own initiative to help cycling grow. Ottawa cycling fan Derek King bought the maglia rosa, which is the first Hesjedal won at the Giro. King cheered Hesjedal on in person at the 2010 Tour de France, and plans to attend this year too. Canada’s Olympic road and time trial cyclists were expected to be named yesterday, with Hesjedal a clear front runner. Visit vicnews.com for updates. sports@vicnews.com

Greg Sakaki/Black Press
Ethan Garland is checked by a New Westminster Salmonbellies opponent during his time with Nanaimo Timbermen in 2011. The Victoria Shamrocks traded for Garland last week in a five player deal, after Garland held out from the Timbermen and opted to play for his hometown Saanich Tigers junior B lacrosse club instead.
Trade to boost intensity Saanich’s Garland gets his wish Travis Paterson News staff
Last week the junior A Nanaimo Timbermen conceded that 2012 isn’t their year, something the Victoria Shamrocks aren’t ready to do. With the Timbermen last and the Shamrocks sixth, holding the final playoff spot in the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League, the two sides met in the middle, resulting in a five-player trade. The Jr. Rocks acquired second-year player Ethan Garland and two graduating players, Paul Brebber and Glenn Foley. Going the other way is Nick Sanderson, Freddie Bathurst-Hunt and future considerations. “We were debating as a sixthplace team if we should throw the towel in on this season or do a shakeup and challenge for the Jr. A title,” Shamrocks general manager Rod Wood said. “There was some complacency with the players,” Wood said. “Brebber addresses that. He’s gritty and brings intensity to the floor we feel we were missing.” Garland could end up being

STOP HAIR LOSS Residents get last say Dr. C. Hammoud, Ph.D. recommends:
To reduce or stop hair loss for men and women
#77
Super advanced formula #77 Has been used successfully for many years KING SIZE - 2 months supply
All Natural Ingredients
With powerful DHT block, the recognized #1 cause of hair loss. Unique combination of ingredients make it a guaranteed superior product. Helps to rejuvenate your hair for a fuller and thicker appearance. Early prevention of baldness for those that have a family history. Pattern baldness (Androgenic Alopecia) is caused by an oversupply of hormones DHT (Dihydrotestosterone). It damages hair follicles over time unless preventive action is taken. #77 feeds the roots of the hair by supplying them with the best hair nutrient ever discovered. Help for people who are on radiation or chemo therapy or taking other drugs that cause hair loss. Read testimonials on the Bell website with names, phone numbers and email addresses: “My hair has stopped falling out...and my hair looks shinier and healthier.”; “After 30 days use I noticed I am losing less hair! My hair now looks fuller and the texture has improved.”; “Hair loss was noticeably reduced with first bottle!”; “After using Bell Stop Hair Loss #77 for 2 weeks my hair was not as thin anymore and at the end of the treatment of 2 months my little bald spot on the back of my head was growing over with little hair. This product helped to restore my youthful look.”
SNORING?
SLEEP APNEA?
As recommended by Dr. Gifford-Jones M. D. Often snorers also have sleep apnea which causes being tired all day, high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, irregular heartbeats (per FDA website). Millions suffer needlessly and can stop their nightly ordeals. To my surprise, after taking Bell Snoring & Sleep Apnea Relief #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS For 20 #23 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON. Lost my husband because of sleep apnea in 2011. I had sleep apnea, too. I was scared to go to bed and have an heart attack like my husband. After taking Bell #23 I can now sleep for 5-6 hours peacefully without gasping for air. A blessing. Suzie Weigel, 60, Chattanooga, TN No need to make claims. Bell relays 100% truthful user’s free speech. No money is paid for it. No questions asked guarantee.
ACNE
By Dr. C. Hammoud Ph.D.
#60 Guaranteed better than all others they used say dozens of delighted users with full names and towns on the Bell website. Works by cleansing blood inside rather than attacking skin from the outside and leaving the actual cause untreated. Here are a few examples:
Eczema Psoriasis Rosacea Rashes
I had terrible Acne for 3 years and tried Benzoyl Peroxide, Proactiv, Aloe Vera and others. After 4 days taking the Bell natural product #60 it started to clear up my skin. My skin changed from terrible to beautiful. Mylene Theriault, 19, Sorel-Tracy, QC In 2 days my son’s face completely cleared up of acne. My son is 15 and suffered for 3 years. We used many products like laser, Clean Clear, Neem that did not work or burned his skin. Veronica Marden, Seminole, TX Unbelievable acne free beautiful skin Last couple of years I had acne and tried every product like Murad, Proactiv and antibiotics. Results with #60 were unbelievable. Thanks for giving me beautiful skin and my self-esteem. Nelisa Royer, 28, Doral, FL Within 6 days eczema cleared up completely. I believe #60 addresses the cause internally instead of the symptoms. Latifa Boutshik, 43, North York, ON I had severe psoriasis over 95% of my body. Last 5 years I have stunned every doctor and dermatologist. I spent tons of money on remedies. After I got Bell #60, I’ve never seen anything work as fast in my life. Within 2 days I saw my skin clearing up. I’m speechless. It was inexpensive compared with what I spent before. Jessica Shantz, 25, Dawson Creek, BC All statements made on the Bell website are sent by delighted users. All are real people. Most have listed phone numbers and can be called for advice. No money is paid to them. Their reward is the relief they are getting. All say #60 works within days not months, not years. It’s more effective than what they used before. It is less expensive (some acne suppliers ship monthly and charge monthly, which may amount to large sums yearly). No side effects were reported on #60. No need to make claims. Bell relays 100% truthful user’s free speech. No money is paid for it. No questions asked guarantee.
Other Bell products for relief of the following chronic ailments
(All guaranteed): Bell Shark Cartilage #1 Arthritis pain relief or money refunded.Tens of thousands satisfied users. Phone numbers of users on the Bell website.

on Oak Bay Lodge plan Municipal council slated to make a decision June 27 Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
Every seat was filled and many resorted to standing or sitting on the floor for the final opportunity to give input on the proposed redevelopment of the Oak Bay Lodge site. About 200 people attended the meeting Tuesday at the Monterey recreation centre for the last chance to speak on the Garry Oak Meadows project before Oak Bay council makes a decision Wednesday (June 27). Baptist Housing was hired by Vancouver Island Health Authority to build a 320-bed facility for dementia care. The new building would be higher than allowed under zoning bylaws and would include fewer parking spaces than required for the size of the development. The original request was to address the growing need for residential care beds for Greater Victoria’s aging population and to replace existing beds in existing facilities, including 247 beds at Oak Bay Lodge and 73 beds at Mt. Tolmie Hospital. The Oak Bay site is already zoned for residential care. “We believe it is the best design for the site,” said Howard Johnson, CEO
of Baptist Housing. “It is in the community interest to replace Oak Bay Lodge as proposed with the changes made.” Despite Mayor Nils Jensen’s assertion there was no applause meter, residents used their hands to show support for speakers and three PowerPoint presentations opposed to the proposal. “We have a massive redevelopment here and it’s being treated as an inconsequential bylaw variance,” said resident Paul Werner, who gave one of three PowerPoint presentations opposing the plan. The main concerns included the design and size, traffic and parking, and inconsistency with the community plan. “This isn’t just one foot more on a house down the street,” Werner said. “This is a massive undertaking.” While the balance of applause was tilted toward those opposed to the proposal, people in favour of the project gleaned support as well. One resident of Wilmot Place noted that the community plan is due for a review. “It was done 15 years ago and only updated seven years ago. An official community plan that far out of date is irrelevant today.” More information about Garry Oak Meadows project is available at the municipal hall, 2167 Oak Bay Ave. cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

early four years after Dave Calder and Scott Frandsen were the first Canadians on the podium in Beijing, the men’s pairs rowers are ready to turn Olympic silver into gold. London 2012 is the last chance for them to take top spot as a team. If their intense training regimen and five years of rowing together are any sign, it’s also their best. Unlike in Beijing, when the pair had but a few months training together prior to the Games, Calder, a resident of Saanich, and Frandsen, who hails from Kelowna, have spent the better part of the last 30 months in full-time training. Under coach Terry Paul, Calder and Frandsen train together six times per week on Elk Lake; three times weekly in the weight room at the Pacific Institute of Sport Excellence; twice on rowing machines at PISE; and also take road bikes around Greater Victoria. Benefits of the program, one that requires a 7,500-to 9,000-calorie diet, reach beyond the physical. “We know how we both like to race,” Frandsen said. “Often a lot of things can go unsaid because we both know what the other’s thinking.” The amount of time spent together creates a healthy amount of friction, Calder added. “We spend an abnormally large amount of time together in a mental and physical state of great exertion and it forges an incredible bond, a bond that can handle us getting pissy at each other every once in a while,” Calder said. “Like any relationship, you have

Pairs rowers Dave Calder, left, and Scott Frandsen at Elk Lake following a morning practice. The two will row for Canada in London at the 2012 Olympic Games. your good days and bad days.” One of those bad days came in 2011 when the pair rowed into fifth place at the world championships, in Bled, Slovenia. It’s a part of their history together that they chalk up to a short-lived change in the racing schedule, which disturbed the team’s rhythm, but left them better equipped to handle future challenges. “It wasn’t the end of the world and it left us pretty hungry for the winter of training,” Calder said.
After five years as a team, and attempts from both halves of the pair to leave competitive rowing, the end is finally near. Frandsen, who turns 32 next month, will return to a position with Royal Bank of Canada in Vancouver in September. If he’s enjoying his career and can handle life without rowing, he won’t return. At 34, Calder, on leave from his position with the Ministry of Energy and Mines, is more certain
these Olympics will be his last. “I feel I’ve had an incredible rowing career – I’ve been racing for Canada since I was 15 – and I’m really happy to have this as my last Olympics. I feel really healthy about ending on this high note.” Calder said his wife, Rachel, who has heard him claim retirement from rowing three separate times, won’t believe it until he’s home in Saanich once the 2016 Games begin in Rio de Janeiro. nnorth@saanichnews.com

The Trucks of Trail:
Smoke ‘n’ Steel Classic Car show brings out the workhorses Terry and Deb Basran drove their modified trucks into Trail’s Gyro Park alongside the Columbia River to take part in the fourth annual Smoke ‘n’ Steel Classic Car Show last Saturday. Terry learned to drive in the 1957 Mercury pickup that his father purchased for him 40 years ago ALYN EDWARDS when he was 15 years old. CLASSIC The truck had spent a number of RIDES years sitting at his uncle’s orchard in Kelowna and the teenager fell in love with it. It became his first vehicle. But this isn’t the same pickup truck that it was back then. Terry, who works in the Celgar pulp mill outside Castlegar, sent his truck to Colville, Washington for a complete makeover which includes stroked 429 cubic inch engine that is now 509 cubic inches and puts out 550 horsepower. His fully customized red pickup truck with a full tan leather interior is a work of art. Deb’s truck was a long-time family member too. It had belonged to Terry’s uncle in Lillooet. The couple hauled the 1936 Ford three ton dually flat truck to their Castlegar home and turned it into a ‘rat rod’ style custom pickup truck with a Chevy small block engine featuring triple carburetors. It looks like a homebuilt hot rod from the 1950s. But this truck was also professionally built by the shop in Washington State and has all modern suspension components. “I love old trucks and I love driving my truck,” enthuses Deb Basran who works for the Pulp, Paper and Woodworkers of Canada union. She and her husband drove their custom trucks through rain showers to attend the show in the welcoming City of Trail where they both grew up. Everett Reid has also owned his 1972 Chevrolet Cheyenne 10 half ton pickup truck for 40 years. It had one mile on the odometer when he drove it out of the showroom at Desjardins Motors in St. Eustache, Quebec after paying the $3,400 purchase price. The retired plywood mill worker had traveled there to meet his brother who was importing a 1956 Ford
Deb Basran drove her modified ‘36 Ford truck to the show with husband Terry driving the 1957 Mercury pickup he’s owned since he was 15 years old.

applied by a young artist in Kettle Falls, Washington. The Cruisin’ the Columbia Classic Car Show is put on by the 55-member West Kootenay Smoke ‘n’ Steel Classic Car Club in Trail – a city known for its volunteer spirit and get-itdone attitude. The awards table was loaded with 40 unique trophies hand-built by club members to be given out at the end of the day. A showstopper was a 1956 Chevrolet Suburban that was imported from California and highly modified by Don Steep of nearby Montrose who retired as a pipefitter with the Teck Metals Refinery across the Columbia River from the car show. His truck is propelled by a Chevrolet V8 motor, stops with disc brakes on all four wheels and has full digital instrumentation along with a sound system that could blow the doors off. The truck even has DVD screens in the back of each of the power front seats. Rear seats are removable for more cargo space. Another retired Teck Metals Refinery employee and truck enthusiast is George Ward from Fruitvale. “I needed a retirement project to give me something to do,” Ward says. He purchased a rolled over 1948 Mercury pickup truck from Vancouver Island and set out to completely rebuild the truck into a fun hobby vehicle. Parts and pieces came from all over the western provinces and states and his rare Canadian-only truck which he affectionately calls a half breed. Another unusual Mercury at the show was a 1942 right-hand drive coupe imported from New Zealand by owner Pat Gallagher. His former employer discovered the old coupe in a garage behind a house he had purchased outside Auckland. Gallagher had always been attracted to the upscale Mercury cars of the 1940s which ‘look like ‘Fords in a Sunday suit.’ His car is a product of the Ford Motor Company exporting bodies from the U.S. for assembly in their plant in Wellington, New Zealand. Gallagher’s car was being built as a 1942 model when production was halted during WWII. It was eventually sold as a 1946 model.

Honda Fit EV earns top fuel-efficiency
www.vicnews.com
The 2013 Honda Fit EV, with a combined adjusted U.S. Environmental Protection Agency mile-per-gallon-equivalency rating of (US) 118 MPGe, received the highest fuelefficiency rating ever given by the EPA. Further, with an unprecedented low consumption rating of just 29 kilowatt hours (kWh) per 100 miles and low EPA rated annual fuel cost of $500, the fun-to-drive 2013 Honda Fit EV can help consumers get more miles for each charging dollar. With such an efficient drivetrain, the Fit EV’s 20-kWh lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery provides the capacity to earn an EPA combined city/highway estimated driving range rating of 82 miles, allowing the Fit EV to surpass the EPA efficiency and range ratings of the Ford Focus Electric (105 MPGe, 76-mile range), Nissan Leaf (99 MPGe, 73mile range), and Mitsubishi i-MiEV (112 MPGe, 62-mile range). The Fit EV battery can be recharged in less than three hours from a low charge indicator illumination point when connected to a 240-volt circuit. “Just as important as the industry-leading fuel-efficiency, the Fit EV’s 92 kilowatt (123 hp) coaxial electric motor generates 189 ft-lb of torque, and is teamed to a chassis with a fully independent suspension and a driverselectable three-mode electric drive system adapted from the CR-Z Sport Hybrid.

Jaguar Land Rover, Cobham Technical Services and Ricardo will carry out research into the design of economic electric motors that avoid expensive magnet materials. Next-generation electric motors for low carbon emission vehicles are the target of a new collaborative research program to be led by Cobham Technical Services. The project will also involve partners Jaguar Land-Rover and engineering consultancy Ricardo UK, and is co-funded by the Technology Strategy Board. Aside from the need to further reduce CO2 emissions from
hybrid vehicles by moving to more efficient and lower weight electric motors, there is an urgent requirement to eliminate the use of rare earth elements, which are in increasingly short supply and have risen ten-fold in cost in recent years. Virtually all electric traction motors currently used in such applications employ permanent magnets made from materials such as neodymium-iron-boron and samarium-cobalt. Since switched reluctance motors do not use permanent magnets, they are likely to provide the ideal replacement technology.
