Protect the harbour

Residents and industry leaders want more focus on waterfront aspects in official community plan

Roszan Holmen News staff

The message was loud and clear. Victorians love their harbour and want it formally protected – whether for use by residents or industry – in the city’s new official community plan. In response to the last round of feedback, planning staff heard that message and amended the document to place more emphasis on the harbour. Apparently, the changes didn’t go far enough. Many of those who spoke at the June 27 public hearing emphasized the need to protect and plan for the harbour’s future. The official community plan needs to reinforce the water-land connection, said Curtis Grad, CEO of the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority. “Once severed, the link is gone forever.” The Inner Harbour should belong to residents of Victoria, not private interests, said Marg Gardiner, a director of the James Bay Neighbourhood Association. Others argued for the need to protect the working harbour, such as the aggregate businesses on Rock Bay. “We need them,” argued Ron Greene, who owns property on Store Street. Otherwise, aggregate will need to be shipped from Duke Point, he added. The concerns come in the wake of news that all three levels of government are selling, or potentially selling large tracts of waterfront land around the harbour. In February, the Provincial Capital Commission announced its intention to sell its surplus property, which could include its portion of a waterfront parking lot below Wharf Street. Last month, the federal government

Pedestrians on the waterfront walkway off of Kingston Street enjoy the view of passing boats, including the Black Ball ferry Coho, at right, and across the water to the Songhees area. Preserving various aspects of the harbour should be critical pieces in the city’s official community plan, residents and others say. Don Denton/News staff

announced it is selling many parcels of land, mostly running along the Upper Harbour. At the same time, the city is considering the sale of waterfront industrial property in Vic West at Point Hope to Ralmax Group of Companies. About 60 people attended the hearing. Mike Miller of Abstract Developments led the presentations with a request for a more businessfriendly city. “The vacancy rate in downtown is alarming,” said Miller, also chair of the Urban Development Institute’s Victoria chapter. He called for more emphasis on an economic action plan for the downtown and requested specific amendments: that the permit process be shortened, and parking requirements for new develop-

ments be lowered to reflect the fact many downtown residents don’t own cars. Many neighbourhood representatives voiced their concerns. Tracy James of Burnside-Gorge asked that traffic be slowed on some of the six arterials that pass through her neighbourhood, to help create a more walkable, cohesive community. Bernie Gaudet of Vic West asked that his neighbourhood be moved up the priority list as the city moves forward with local area plans, targeting areas of change and growth. “Vic West is severely splintered,” he said. The neighbourhood is targeted to accommodate a large portion of the city’s growth, yet new development is cut off from the older, established residential neighbourhood, he said.

Other people praised the extensive planning and consultation process that contributed to the draft plan. “I’m really, really pleased to see an OCP deal with words like arts and culture,” said Jason Scott, an architectural historian who lives in Fan Tan Alley. He asked, however, that no more heritage redevelopments be granted additional storeys. “What you’re doing is wrong,” he said. Council ultimately voted to postpone deliberations until they could review a copy of the minutes. Only when the public hearing resumes, at an undetermined date in July, will councillors be allowed to comment publicly on the OCP or the hearing. Doing so could invalidate the process and force a new public hearing. rholmen@vicnews.com

Less-ambitious bus-stop vision sought Victoria’s draft official community plan aims to have 99 per cent of residents living within 400 metres of a bus stop within the next 30 years. B.C. Transit doesn’t support the goal, however. “This target may require transit to operate on local roads that are not intended to be served by transit,” wrote B.C. Transit senior planner James Wadsworth, in a response to the document. “Perhaps 90 per cent might be a better target.” The suggested amendment might be a little under ambitious; the city has already surpassed it.

Well-fed and clean in the City of Victoria City paid more for catering, dry cleaning services than its larger neighbour, Saanich Roszan Holmen News staff

Victoria is paying more for certain services than its neighbours. In 2011, the city paid a total of $82,924 to QV Cafe and Bakery and Truffles Catering Group, according to Victoria’s latest public bodies expenditures report. The document lists all accounts paid in excess of $25,000. Of the catering expenses, $29,000 covered 4,000 meals given to detainees in police jail cells. The remainder was spent on catering municipal and police meetings such as public advisory committee meetings, or events where the city hosts dignitaries. Expect Victoria’s catering expenses to be lower in 2012. “It’s going to be going down,” said Coun. Geoff Young. City council already voted to give up its lunches provided during meetings. In Saanich, the approach to meetings is more low-key, said finance director Paul Murray. “I’m pretty darn sure we would be nowhere near that sort of (expenditure),” he said. “Quite often (meetings) will have coffee, but we’ll make the coffee ourself.” Dry cleaning funding for police uniforms is also more generous in Victoria. Last year, the city paid $81,651 to Individual Drycleaners, mostly for cleaning police uniforms. Calculated

as an average expenditure per officer (including members and reserves), it came to $269 last year. By comparison, Saanich spends approximately $155 per officer on dry cleaning, an amount paid out as a taxable benefit. Victoria police spokesperson Mike Russell defended his department’s extra expense. “For less than a dollar a day, I don’t have to throw any clothes in my home washing machine with people’s urine or barf on it, that doesn’t go in with my kids’ (laundry) – we’re pretty sure that’s a good investment,” he said. The Victoria department deals with downtown issues, such as more frequent fights and intoxicated people. Victoria isn’t the most generous force in B.C. when it comes to uniform cleaning. The Vancouver Police Department pays for both dry cleaning and laundering. Its $556,800 budget comes to roughly $427 per officer. While some forces have moved to what’s called wash-and-wear uniforms that don’t require dry cleaning, an idea Saanich investigated, but rejected. The clothes don’t last as long when washed regularly, so the cost of dry cleaning is made up for in the longevity of the uniforms, said spokesperson Sgt. Dean Jantzen. rholmen@vicnews.com

Downtown strip club receives a reprieve Roszan Holmen News staff

Plans for redevelopment of the Victoria Plaza Hotel have been postponed, meaning Victoria’s only strip club has a new lease on life. League Assets originally anticipated closing a purchase of the hotel by this spring. Those plans have been extended until the fall to accommodate an amendment to its rezoning application before the city. Working with League, the project developer, GMC Projects, is now proposing more density. “We are currently reviewing the design changes with the city and expect to be showing those changes to the (Downtown Resident’s Association) soon,” said Jordan Milne of GMC Projects. That means plans to close Monty’s Showroom Pub this summer are also on hold. Milne could not comment on whether the purchase of the property is dependent on being granted more density. League Assets did not return a call from the News. “I would just to say to anybody who is buying a property in Old Town, if you do it based on increasing the density beyond what’s permitted, it’s really very foolish,” said Coun. Pam Madoff, who sits on the planning and land-use committee. “It’s just such a battle and a struggle and it goes against all the work that’s gone on.” rholmen@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW

History shaped today’s Canada Last weekend, Canadians from sea to sea to sea participated in our ongoing attempt at nation building. Canada Day celebrations held special significance this year, which marks the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812. Like every country, ours is founded on myths. Some of Canada’s Bumpy start earliest heroes – Laura Secord and Issac Brock led to more – date back to that war, enlightenment which established that North America would be home to a distinctly British nation as well as an American republic. In classrooms, Canadians learn to take pride in the defence of our homeland and how our nation was forged by our battles against a much larger army of American invaders. And like all myths, it can be difficult to determine historic reality from the “messaging” written after the hostilities ended. Thankfully, the bicentennial of that war has prompted both government and media to dig deeper into the history of the muddied narrative of the War of 1812. Documentaries and re-enactments will bring the lessons of this conflict to new generations who may know little about the significance of this war. Books and newspaper features will dig up new information from the archives to shed more light on how events actually unfolded. But, as happens every time we really look at ourselves in the mirror, we will see things we might wish we hadn’t. For as much as our earliest settlers stood against the African slave trade and brutal raids on aboriginal lands, some of those early Canadians also closed off the country to the spirit of development and innovation that allowed the U.S. to blossom. After the War of 1812, as both countries went their separate ways, we spent decades as a country that severely restricted many of the rights – such as religious freedom and democratic principles – that are cherished today. But from that tyranny of conformity emerged a country that would eventually come to be known as among the most tolerant and peaceful in the world: Canada. What do you think?

the coast and endure the demands of island dwellers who want the rest of us to subsidize their splendid isolation. The proposition for them will boil down to this: You can pay more or you can have fewer sailings. And where the boat is a third full, you will have fewer sailings. This consultation period is an opportunity to ask some hard questions. For instance, does Salt Spring Island really need three ferry terminals? And why is there no passenger-only service? Macatee’s term as commissioner started with a detailed review last year that pointed to some other ways to save serious money. But CEO Corrigan says there are no quick fixes. FortisBC has offered an $11-million incentive for conversion of marine vessels to natural gas, which would give the fleet significant relief from spiraling fuel costs. But a ferry conversion would take six months or more, and another ship would be needed in the meantime. Another promising suggestion is overhauling the ferry reservation service, making reservations free and charging extra for those who just show up. Corrigan says a computer reservation overhaul now underway will take three years. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

FUTURE SHOP - CORRECTION NOTICE

Cycling given too much play in Victoria OCP The accuracy and validity of the numbers that are being used with respect to cyclists in Victoria’s draft Official Community Plan are artificially and conveniently inflated. Under the transportation section it claims that 10 per cent of residents bike to work. Is that year-round, on average or one sunny day in mid-July?

Interestingly, with a projected price tag of $275 million for full implementation, the recent Regional Pedestrian and Cycling Master Plan received negligible press or public comment (see http://www. crd.bc.ca/regionalplanning/ transportation/cyclingwalking/index.htm). The recent Victoria Vital Signs Report mentions under

Commute Method that only six per cent cycled to work, down from seven per cent in 2009-10 and eight per cent in 2007-08. And yet a noisy, wellorganized lobby group wants to cover the region with bike trails. I can see doing something like this over 25 years – with more current and more accurate numbers. But doing it over 10 years represents a

Readers respond: Cell towers, shoeshiner, salaries, bridge Health Canada’s assertions questioned Re: Residents worried about effect of cellphone antennas (News, June 22) Health Canada’s assurance that, “the consensus of the scientific community is that RF energy from cellphone towers is too low to cause adverse health effects in humans” does not stand up to scientific scrutiny. These kinds of statements will come back to haunt them. First, there is no scientific consensus. Second, there is a growing body of evidence that the radiation from cell tower antennas is harmful – within 500 metres the increase of adverse effects is significant (Balmori, 2010).

At least she would be providing a service other than snivelling for pennies like the beggars or buskers. Let her hum a tune as she polishes, then she will fit in for sure. Elva Hosie Esquimalt

Tolerance to bright light If you wear glasses or contact lenses and have a low tolerance to bright light, you may want to consider getting properly prescribed sunglasses for your vision comfort. Your eyebrows, eyelids, and iris, which is the coloured part of the eye, offer some protection from sunlight and glare, but if bright or glaring light bothers your eyes, you may need the added protection of sunglasses. Certain occupations such as outside work or driving may beneﬁt from sunglass protection. Sunlight provides the light we need to see objects clearly, but it also emits two invisible forms of radiation, ultraviolet and infrared rays. A low tolerance to bright light or over-exposure to the rays of the sun may cause minor eye irritation while prolonged exposure may cause more serious problems.

Barber balks at beauty over function Petition urges cancellation of proposed road upgrades Erin McCracken News staff

A customer walks into Scott Attrill’s barbershop. “I’ll be right with you,” the business owner says. “No, I’m here to sign the petition,” says John McKay, a regular at Floyd’s Hairstyling for Men on Admirals Road. Attrill had collected nearly 300 names on a petition by late last week in his quest to save his shop from possible upgrades to Admirals Road. Construction, lane reductions and new bike lanes outside the barbershop will eradicate the side-street parking he considers key to his business. “This place won’t survive. It’ll be the end of Floyd’s,” says Attrill, who sees bike lanes as unnecessary and lane reductions as impediments to traffic flow. Admirals is often thick with commuter traffic from nearby CFB Esquimalt and the Esquimalt Graving Dock, as indicated in a 2011 traffic study that found the road hosts more than 4.6 million vehicle trips annually. Staff got the green light in May to apply for $2.8 million in federal gas tax funding from the Union of British Columbia Municipali-

John McKay signs a petition that barber Scott Attrill, rear, created to protest proposed upgrades to Admirals Road. ties to pay for the upgrades. A similar application by Esquimalt was denied last year. Under the conceptual plan, Admirals Road between Lyall Street and Colville Road would be downsized from four lanes to two. Bikes lanes, traffic-calming islands, storm-water collection systems, new bus shelters and a layer of asphalt would be added between Lyall and Maplebank Road.

“The main focus of the project is to initiate the bike lanes (and the storm-water system),” said Will Wieler, Esquimalt acting director of engineering and public works. As for the islands, some would be for traffic-calming, others for beautification, he says. Coun. Bob McKie supports storm-water upgrades and new paving on Admirals, but worries about the impact of lane reductions and new bike lanes on motorists and businesses. “Our beauty is not helping transportation,” he says. Responding to Attrill’s outrage that businesses have not yet been consulted, staff say they are following the rules. “If and when we receive funding, we will initiate public input, do preliminary design, likely go back to (get) public input again, before we finalize anything,” Wieler said. “We don’t try to spend an exorbitant amount of money on a long-shot grant application.” The township’s funding application must be submitted to the UBCM by Aug. 31. Attrill also has an online petition on his Facebook page, entitled: I hate flower pots in the middle of our roads. emccracken@vicnews.com

Victoria police say an attempted child-luring incident last week is likely not linked to three similar incidents in the last two months. On June 27 a 10-year-old girl reported being approached by a man who asked her for help and that she go with him to his van, parked across the street. The girl had been walking to school at George Jay elementary, at 1118 Princess Ave. Instead of going with the man, she ran to a nearby family member. School staff were immediately notified and police were called at just after 9 a.m. Victoria police are calling the incident an attempted child abduction. It is the fourth report of a sus-

pected child luring at an elementary school in recent months. Although police donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe this latest case is connected to three incidents at Oaklands elementary school, parents should remain vigilant. Police patrols were stepped up during school hours at Oaklands after a 10-year-old boy reported being asked to go with a man in exchange for money, after school on June 5. In two separate incidents May 15 and 17 near Oaklands elementary, two young girls reported they were motioned to come near a man. At the time police said there was not enough evidence to confirm or dispel whether attempted abductions had taken place. The vehicle and suspect descriptions in last Wednes-

Meet the men who crew the boat on Canada Post’s new stamp Travis Paterson News staff

Kevin Kowalyk smiled from one side of his mouth when he saw Canada Post’s commemorative Rowing Canada stamp unveiled by fellow London-bound rowers Dave Calder and Morgan Jarvis. The stamp’s release, which depicts a men’s double scull, followed the formal introduction of Rowing Canada’s Olympic team at Elk Lake on Thursday. Crews from six of Canada’s seven Olympic boats were there, while the women’s heavyweight eight was officially confirmed at its Ontario training centre. As the stamp stood prominently on display, rowers from the country’s more established boats took the spotlight, such as the gold-medal-winning men’s eight, and the locally produced women’s double of Lindsay Jennerich and Patricia Obee. Meanwhile Kowalyk and his doubles partner Michael Braithwaite stood quitely among the remaining group of the 21 rowers. Ironcially, they’ll be manning the double scull depicted on the Olympic-themed stamp. “That’s totally our boat, so this is pretty cool,” Kowalyk said. Granted it’s not actually Kowalyk and Braithwaite depicted in the stamp, which was designed by Kosta Tsetsekas and Mike Savage of Vancouver-based Signals Design, and illustrated by Keith Martin. Kowalyk, 31, isn’t surprised at the lack of attention. “Back where I come from in Winnipeg, I don’t even think they know I exist.” The story of Kowalyk’s journey to becom-

At 25 years old, he was a typical Winnipegger, working sales in the oil industry and playing hockey at night. He was kickboxing, too. But a concussion limited him from both sports, and led to trying rowing for the first time. “I thought I was going kayaking. I had no idea what was ahead.” It took a while to get a knack for it but he loved it from the start. When the economy dimmed and his job became expendable, Kowalyk took the opportunity to enroll at the University of Manitoba and pour the rest of his energy into rowing. “I found myself in pretty good shape, but still didn’t make the cut in 2010, and I ran out of money. So I came back in 2011.” Up until that point, Kowalyk had literally coached himself. “The rowing (scene) in Winnipeg isn’t like here, so my prospects weren’t high.” Through domestic competitions he made his way into the men’s four, and helped qualify that boat for this summer’s Olympics, finishing seventh at the Rowing World Cup in Bled, Slovenia, in 2011. All he had to do was keep up his training,

Nine Wave players to rep B.C. Nine players from the Vancouver Island Wave rep program and local club

soccer teams will play for B.C. this summer. Greater Victoria’s under-13 player Sean Pearse (Gordon HeadSaanich Fusion), U14 players Max Branyik (Gordon Head-Saanich Fusion), Mackenzie Cole (Gorge) and Liam McManaman (Cordova Bay-Saanich Fusion), and U15 players Dory Blakely (Bays United), Ben Avila (Gordon HeadSaanich Fusion) and Josh Cuthbert (Lakehill-Prospect Lake) will all wear B.C. colours. Josh and his brother Elliott (U13) are heading to

Rowing 101 To scull is to row two oars, one in each hand. To sweep is to row one oar, on one side of the boat, using both hands. A four-person sculling boat is a quad, and the two-person a double, while sweeping boats are known by the number, such as the eight, four and pair.

and he was London-bound, but things happen, like pneumonia. When he caught the debilitating lung infection in December, it knocked him out of the four. When he came back, he was isolated in a single scull, starting from scratch. Such is the life of a rower, and then some. “It’s funny because (Braithwaite) and I were roommates but were in different boats. Instead of trying to get back in the four, all of a sudden we were competing against each other for a spot in the double.” At 25, Braithwaite is the same age at which Kowalyk started. The Duncan native rowed varsity at the University of Toronto, and went on to win the men’s under-23 national championship in the single scull, and again in 2010 in the senior men’s category. Both relocated to Victoria early in 2011, the mainland in September to join the Vancouver Whitecaps residency program fulltime.

The 21-year-old Highlands resident was named to multiple awards, including player of the year for the Dakota Athletic Conference, as first baseman for the Jamestown College Jimmies.

and soon rented a place together, typical of the national rowers who come to Elk Lake’s training centre. But things went from brotherly to awkward this spring, cramping their homespace. During trials in March and April, Kowalyk and Braithwaite were part of a doubles matrix, with Fraser Berkhout and Steve Van Knotsenburg. Unless Kowalyk and Braithwaite finished first and second in the matrix rankings – which they eventually did, respectively – each was at risk of eliminating the other’s Olympic dream. “It could have been worse. There was some tension, but really, the only effect was we didn’t speak as much during that time,” Braithwaite said. And it’s all good now, to the point where Braithwaite wonders if they’d be doing as well if they hadn’t established the chemistry they have. “My goal was to get set up for the next quadrennial by making a push for this summer’s Olympics, with (Rio de Janeiro 2016) being the ultimate goal,” Braithwaite said. “(London) is just icing on the cake.” “I’m pretty confident (Braithwaite) will get me where I want to go,” Kowalyk said. sports@vicnews.com

Johnson, who graduated from Lambrick Park’s baseball academy and Devils Fastball Club, finished her third year of colllege ball as a first team all-star for the entire Association of Independent Institutions conference of the NAIA, as well as being a Dakota conference first team all-star and gold glove winner. Johnson hit .378 with 10 home runs and 59 RBI, and set two school records, one for her 22-game hitting streak and another for hitting eight RBI in one game.

Lacrosse film to play in Sidney

Diabetes Study

Teen hopes to share history of his people’s sport

• Are you 18 years or older?

Erin Cardone News staff

When Landon Underwood came across a movie he identified with, he figured it was something worth sharing. “It seems pretty inspirational,” he said. The 13-year-old lacrosse fanatic stumbled across a trailer for Crooked Arrows, a newly released film about lacrosse with a strong local connection, and told his dad, Pauquachin chief Bruce Underwood about it. The teen couldn’t find any cinemas playing the movie locally so his dad encouraged him to take action. “It wasn’t anywhere in Victoria; it was only in Vancouver,” Landon said. He went to see Sandy Oliver at Star Cinema. “I asked if she could bring in

Crooked Arrows.” And she did. “I think it’s pretty cool,” Landon said. The film is scheduled to start screening Friday, July 6 and could run for about a week. “These are our lovely community members and they’ve been supportive of us for years,” Oliver said. “There are films that speak to individuals and communities [and] that’s what we’re here for.” And there’s that local tie-in. Gary Gait, known as the best lacrosse player of all time with his twin, Paul, is featured in the film. Gait played for the Peninsula Warriors and attended Claremont secondary school. He played for the Victoria Shamrocks before starring in the National Lacrosse League, Major League Lacrosse and the Canadian national team. Gait has been inducted into the United States Lacrosse National Hall of Fame and the National Lacrosse League Hall of Fame.
