Tearful goodbyes for departing crew of HMCS Regina Ship to aid in counterterrorism operation Erin McCracken News staff
Just months before Leading Seaman Angelo Aires and Petty Officer 1st class Lindsay Stohl planned to say ‘I do,’ they found themselves making do with hugs and kisses Tuesday morning before Stohl’s warship went to sea. The Sooke couple planned to marry in October. That was, until word came that HMCS Regina was needed in the Arabian Sea to conduct patrols, as part of an American-led naval counterterrorism mission underway in the Gulf of Aden, Gulf of Oman, Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean. “The navy doesn’t help with (wedding) planning,” Stohl
quipped as she stood on the flight deck of the frigate, her arms wrapped tightly around her fiancé. The tears in Stohl’s eyes were mirrored in the eyes of more than a hundred military members struggling through their final goodbyes to partners, parents, children, teens and a few tiny babies. Many clutched packages of tissues handed out by Military Family Resource Centre staff members, standing on the nearby jetty. “It’s hard,” said Aires, who only returned to CFB Esquimalt in February after a seven-month voyage to the Mediterranean Sea aboard HMCS Vancouver. “We’d like to get married. We’ll just make it happen when she gets back.”

Dirty Carpets?
While in the Arabian Sea, Stohl and about 250 army, navy, air force and civilian personnel will be on the lookout for vessels that may be running drugs, weapons or people; monitoring traffic patterns, and deterring trouble in the unstable region. To maximize patrol capabilities, seven unmanned aerial vehicles, along with a three-member civilian team of experts from ING Engineering, are going with Regina. It marks the first time a West Coast naval warship will use the small rocket fuel-powered airplanes, which can fly more than 15 hours non-stop as they record and relay data and images back to the ship. “It’s exciting. It brings a whole new capability to the navy,” said
Ottawa-based ING team leader Brian Williams, who operated the same ScanEagle remote-controlled technology in Afghanistan. “It’s another tool in their tool box.” The voyage will be as difficult as it is rewarding for crew members over the next eight months, said navy Lt. Nigel Tully. “These people get to go through and experience things that the average Canadian doesn’t get to do,” the Esquimalt resident said. As the padre on board Regina, it will be his job to provide crew members with the spiritual guidance and mental and emotional support they need to do their jobs. “I just get to know them as people and you have a different appreciation for what they are going

through,” Tully said, watching a sailor snap one last family photo of a military member standing with his wife and two young boys. Cmdr. Jason Boyd, commanding officer of Regina, said his goodbyes to his wife, his eight-year-old daughter and 11-year-old son at their Esquimalt home before heading to the ship. “It’s a day of mixed emotions – mixed because it’s hard to leave any family behind for eight months,” Boyd said. He added that the mission also holds a lot of excitement. “We’ve been working very hard for the last several months to get the ship and the people ready to do this. The day has come and we just want to get going.” emccracken@vicnews.com

Social media use takes bite out of crime on Canada Day Number of alcoholrelated infractions down from 2011 Erin McCracken News staff
Though the numbers of people celebrating Canada Day in Victoria were up from 2011, police and transit officials say they responded to fewer incidents involving trouble. More than 50,000 people crowded into downtown, up by 15,000 from last year. Police, however, had 200 calls for service on July 1, down by 63. The Victoria Police Department made history on Canada Day as the first police agency in North America to use social media as a crime reporting tool. During July 1 festivities, an officer monitored all tips and requests for non-emergency help posted on Twitter with the keyword #VicPDHelps, between 4 p.m. and midnight. Officers responded to 12 Twitter calls for assistance and used infor-

A group of officers were stationed at the corner of Douglas and Princess streets, searching every bus heading south along the corridor. mation that came in from Twitter users to locate a missing 90-yearold man. Social media also helped B.C. Transit officials nip trouble in the bud.
In one instance, a Victoria police officer passed on a social media tip to Transit media spokesperson Meribeth Burton, indicating that a bus with unruly passengers was heading into Victoria from the
Peninsula. Burton sent the Twitter message to B.C. Transit staff, who alerted Saanich police. The bus was stopped and the alcohol-related rowdiness was stamped out. “We thought there was great co-operation between the police, the city and B.C. Transit,” Burton said. Victoria police Const. Mike Russell also credited the decrease in Canada Day incidents to this team approach, “... and everyone really pushing for the same thing, to maintain it as a family friendly event.” B.C. Transit faced fewer alcoholrelated reported infractions on its buses this year. About 100 containers of alcohol were seized and dumped on July 1, in keeping with B.C. Transit’s one-day alcohol ban on buses. “Last year there were about 300 (seized bottles) at one (bus) stop,” Burton said, adding that 60 people opted not to show authorities the contents of their bags this year. The region’s Integrated Road Safety Unit also saw a decline in the number of drunk drivers
nabbed at checkpoints on July 1. Three drivers who were checked were issued 90-day immediate roadside prohibitions for impaired driving. Two people were arrested for drug possession and many more motorists were handed traffic tickets. “The fact that these numbers are so low is a great sign that people are finally getting the message that impaired driving is not tolerated in our communities,” said IRSU acting Sgt. Graeme LeBlanc. emccracken@vicnews.com

Rebranding could carry big price tag Victoria & Esquimalt Police Dept. renaming could be done over time
E&N Rail Trail-Humpback Connector
Open House Project area: Admirals/Colville to Maplebank Road
Erin McCracken News staff
The cost of rebranding the Victoria Police Department when it officially becomes the Victoria & Esquimalt Police Department is estimated to be well over $100,000. That price tag would apply “if we were to stop today and reprint everything, issue every new shoulder flash for every officer’s shirts and jackets, and do the cars and do the police station, and flags and business cards – the whole nine yards,” said department spokesperson Const. Mike Russell. The name change was among several changes announced last week by Justice Minister Shirley Bond, when she revealed that the Victoria department will continue to police Esquimalt. The township had hoped to switch to the

This Dodge Charger and other police cruisers in the department’s fleet will be relabelled this year as part of VicPD’s rebranding as the Victoria & Esquimalt Police Department. RCMP for its police services. After examining the issues aggravating the Esquimalt-Victoria policing relationship, a third-party mediator recommended the department change its name “to indicate there is a new way of doing business.” Among Jean Greatbatch’s recommendations to the minister was that the Victoria &
Esquimalt Police Board create a plan and budget to change the department’s communications materials – plus car decals and uniform shoulder flashes – to reflect the new name within six months. The department last took on a new corporate brand in 2008, when it adopted a silver crest, at a cost of $15,000, and built an image around
the VicPD name. The department adopted its current crest in 2010, in a process rolled out over several months as a way to save money. “When the new fleet comes, instead of redoing the old Crown Victoria (cars with the new crest), we just do the new Chargers with the new graphic,” Russell said. A similar approach could save the
department tens of thousands of dollars during the upcoming renaming process, he said. “It’s not like we throw everything out and start new.” emccracken@ vicnews.com

Skateboarder sought after couple knocked to the ground Police are trying to find a skateboarder after two people were knocked to the ground in downtown Victoria. A 57-year-old Coquitlam woman out walking on the sidewalk at
Douglas and View streets on Tuesday at about 2:30 p.m. was allegedly struck by the skater. She suffered facial injuries when she hit the sidewalk. Her 57-year-old husband dislocated his shoulder.
The skater was last spotted heading west through Bastion Square. Skateboarding is banned from Victoria’s core. Offenders face a $60 fine and have their skateboard confiscated.

Victoria police seize weapons cache One man and a teenage boy face charges after police swooped in on a Gorge Road residence and found a cache of guns, ammo, body armour and drugs. Acting on information that the two individuals were allegedly involved in the drug trade, the Victoria Police Department’s strike force unit and emergency response team executed a search warrant in the 100-block
of Gorge Rd. E. on June 27. During the raid, officers seized a Walther P38 handgun, a Norinco Makarov handgun, four boxes of ammunition, an AK-47 magazine, shotgun rounds, bear spray, brass knuckles, a collapsible baton and two bullet-proof vests. Police also took away 115 grams of marijuana and $21,000 cash. “It’s a great relief for the community that these weapons are
off the street,” said strike force member Det. Jeff Lawson. “These weapons were clearly in the wrong hands and the potential for violence was quite severe.” Jeremy Minnes, 19, and his 17-year-old co-accused, who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, face a total of 15 charges. Both were scheduled to appear in court earlier this week. emccracken@vicnews.com

A driver plowed through a Saanich police roadblock around 1:30 a.m. Sunday, nearly striking a number of officers. A northbound Nissan Murano did not slow down as it approached the roadblock, in the 3400 block of Blanshard St. and rammed through it, barely missing officers and a vehicle, said Sgt. Dean Jantzen. One officer had to squeeze himself against a car to avoid being hit. Two Saanich cruisers quickly boxed in the car on Saanich Road. The driver, a 30-year-old Victoria resident, failed a roadside breath test, and failed a second breath test at Saanich police headquarters. His blood-alcohol was about double the legal limit, police say. The man faces charges of impaired driving and dangerous driving. He was released on the promise to appear in court later this summer. editor@saanichnews.com

Liquor distributors hit the streets for a day Roszan Holmen News staff
Workers at Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liquor distribution centre drew attention to an otherwise unremarkable warehouse on Government Street Tuesday. Picketing along Government Street, they wore signs reading BCGEU on strike. The purpose of the one-day strike was in part to oppose the provincial governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal to privatize distribution of alcohol. While the 18 workers at the Victoria plant would be protected, the B.C. Government and Service Employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Union opposes the sale of this public asset. Liquor distribution is a major source of revenue for the province, said Paul Finch, BCGEU vicepresident. Additionally, he argued, the cost of the service would rise if it were privatized.
Roszan Holmen/News staff
Liquor distribution warehouse employees walk a picket line Tuesday at the Government Street building. Shown are Gavin Nye, left, Don Fraser, Monika Loreth, Lisa Laffrenier and BCGEU vice-president Paul Finch. The governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request for proposals for a new service delivery model closed June 29. It aims to announce the winning proponent in March 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The purpose of the competitive RFP process is to seek a private-sector service provider that can operate a liquor distribution system that is more efficient
than the current one,â&#x20AC;? reads a fact sheet on the Liquor Distribution Branch website. It continues, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our expectation is that the cost of liquor distribution will be lower. British Columbians will pay about the same amount for liquor after liquor distribution is privatized, because the province will continue to control pricing.â&#x20AC;?
The strike, which took place in all three liquor distribution warehouses in B.C., was also held in response to contract negotiations, which have been ongoing for six months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just looking for a fair deal,â&#x20AC;? Finch said. The union does not support an offer by the government for raises of two per cent, and 1.5 per cent, respectively, over the next two years, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen our membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wages deteriorate for three years due to (a wage freeze and) inflation.â&#x20AC;? Asked whether it was dangerous to demand higher salaries at a time when the government is looking to privatize a public service, Finch said â&#x20AC;&#x153;absolutely not.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think historically, the public in B.C. has supported the public-sector unions when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve asked for reasonable increases to keep up with inflation.â&#x20AC;?
Finance Minister Kevin Falcon responded to the unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strike vote by suggesting the wage offer could be withdrawn. The government describes its current negotiating mandate as â&#x20AC;&#x153;co-operative gains,â&#x20AC;? where pay increases must be financed by cost reductions in work arrangement. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with files from Tom Fletcher rholmen@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW
Labour pains not over yet The provincial government is holding its breath these days, having settled contract negotiations with all but a few public sector unions and stayed the course on net zero. But how long can it keep up this magician’s act? At some point, organized labour, led May the days perhaps by a tag-team of net zero of the B.C. Government be gone soon? and Service Employees Union and B.C. nurses, will stage a mass revolt against the no-raise, cupboard-is-bare philosophy. Some months ago, the province gave public sector employers such as post-secondary institutions the opportunity to receive modest wage increases, if the employer was able to find equivalent savings somewhere else in its operation. But increases in government grants to such bodies in recent years – they’re still playing catch-up from previously slashed funding – have done little more than match increases in operating expenses. Therefore, finding savings has become a little like finding a needle in a haystack. One of the province’s largest unions, the B.C. Government and Services Employees Union, even sought ways to save the government money to cover off modest wage increases for its members. But that doesn’t mean they’re in a conciliatory mood. The BCGEU’s one-day strike this week at the Liquor Distribution Branch in Victoria, held to protest any future privatization of that service, was a minor flexing of its muscle. More telling may have been the union’s stepping away from mediation at the bargaining table with the province last week, stating that no progress had been made in negotiations. They could be the wolf at the door for the lame-duck Liberals. Despite not having gone on a full strike for 20 years, the BCGEU still wields clout, as no one wants government services to shut down. While unions must be reasonable in their wage demands at this time, government needs to begin to offer some modest incentives for the people who work for them. Even if it’s a simple token of their esteem. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@vicnews.com or fax 250-386-2624.

when the queer-as-folk crowd rally as one for nine days of innocent pomp, pageantry and frolic, that culminates with the annual parade through the streets of downtown Victoria on July 8. It is also another harsh reminder of the reality that the battle for acceptance continues unabated. Again referencing the News’ editorial, it mentions “how far we’ve come as a community in dispensing with biases and stigmas against people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, queer and questioning.” The very notion that bias and stigma have vanished is a misguided piece of pollyanna. There has been no dispensing of bias and stigma. An easing, yes.

Which is why we have Paparazzi, the Castle and The Ledge, the three main LGBT sanctuaries in town. It’s why we have Pride Week with its fabulous fixings. This is an opportunity to celebrate Canadian freedoms, not just for the LGBT community, but for its many allies as well. We all can take pride in a country that is a world leader in LGBT rights. A country secure enough in its own skin that it is sending a gay man, Mark Tewksbury, to London as chef de mission for the 300-plus Canadian contingent at the Olympic Games later this month and into August. Most of all, it’s a time to take pride in one’s true self. To flex one’s amour propre. Three distasteful incidents in one month tell us that the homophobes are on manoeuvres and that victory over the beast is not at hand. We can always hope, however, that it’s somewhere over the rainbow. Patti Dawn Swanson is a former Black Press reporter who underwent gender reassignment surgery in November 2009.
LETTERS King-like powers set bad precedent Re: Democracy wilting in Ottawa (Our View, June 15), Chipping away at democracy (Erin McCracken, June 8) Having voted Conservative since Diefenbaker trounced the Liberal Party in 1958, I was pleased to see Harper finally achieve a comfortable majority in Parliament. That said, with a clear election outcome of what now amounts to a two-party system of the left versus the right, the prime minister, any prime minister, continues to have the potential of acting as a law onto himself, with the dictates of caucus solidarity suffocating the regional voices of individual MPs by rigid party discipline. Teetering, as we have been since Confederation, on the very brink of democracy, the centralization of power in the Prime Minister’s Office
(PMO) has effectively hollowed Parliament’s role. No lasting progress will have been made to correct the country’s “democracy deficit,” and chart a course toward the restoration of public trust, without a truly democratic separation of powers into a functional system of political checks and balances. They would be constituted by three independent branches: a legislative branch to make laws, an executive branch to enforce and carry out the laws and a judicial branch to interpret the laws. When shaping their own constitutional concept of government in 1776, the guiding principle for America’s revolutionary founding fathers was that there should never be another “king” (i.e. a branch of government wielding the power of a king).
By contrast, having failed to provide a functional system of political checks and balances, Canada’s cloned copy of the British parliamentary system left us constitutionally and democratically constipated. Unless there is a truly democratic separation of the executive branch (the PMO) and legislative branch (Parliament), any Canadian prime minister of whatever political stripe will be able to act like a king, wielding autocratic powers (1) over an unelected Senate, (2) over an appointed Supreme Court, (3) over the legislative process of Parliament and, last but not least, (4) over whomever gets to be governor general. But, perish the thought, such constitutional separation would get us dangerously close to going down that dreaded republican road. E.W. Bopp Tsawwassen

Esquimalt council considering free spousal rec passes Esquimalt councillors will consider giving their spouses or partners free passes to the Esquimalt Recreation Centre. Currently, councillors’ spouses are not entitled to receive free services at the gym and pool facility. “The main reason I brought
it up was because we put in three, four nights a week doing different council (and committee) meetings, and that leaves our spouses sitting at home all by themselves,” said Coun. Bob McKie, who raised the issue at an in-camera council meeting on June 18.
Councillors and all municipal employees have free access to the rec centre. McKie said he wanted to pose the question since many staff pass holders don’t live in the township. The request will be heard at the Aug. 20 council meeting. emccracken@vicnews.com

Deer management group seeking public input Brittany Lee News staff
The Capital Regional District deer advisory committee is seeking public input as it continues to look at deer management strategy options. The 11-member citizens’ advisory group has started assessing various techniques for conflict reduction, population reduction, fertility control and administrative or bylaw options. It is inviting people to provide input through online surveys. Questions about the strategies will be posted on the CRD website as they are discussed by the group. Each survey will be open to the public for about a week. “With the feedback we get from this source, the (group) will then be able to refine the principles, goals, and objectives, as well as the evaluation criteria and management options,” Jocelyn Skrlac, advisory group chair, wrote in an email. “It’s a slow and complicated process. We’re all working very hard to find appropriate ways and means to address this challenging situation.” Options being considered include
hazing and frightening, repellants, fencing, landscaping alternatives, capture and relocation, capturing and euthanizing, controlled public hunting, professional sharpshooting and capture and sterilization. The advisory group is also looking at the study of deer-vehicle collisions, and public education and outreach, in moving toward its recommendations. Each option will be discussed at the group’s regular public meetings, taking into consideration how each method would apply in agricultural, rural and urban areas, Skrlac said. “Because the CRD covers a variety of geographies the options within the four categories need to be looked at in different ways,” she said. The advisory group will study the effectiveness, feasibility, capability, cost and economic impact, time factors, community support and community impacts of each technique. A report is expected in late July. For more information, or to participate in the survey, see crd.bc.ca/ deermanagement. reporter@vicnews.com

Chess champs are getting younger and younger Grandmasters, fresh-faced rising stars hosted at this weekend’s Canadian Open Roszan Holmen News staff
When Paul Leblanc started playing chess four decades ago, the players were all adults, the youngest being university-aged students. These days, it’s quite a different scene. “It’s remarkable,” said Leblanc. “When I go down to the chess club, there’s a kid in Grade 6 who beats me every time. There’s a kid in Grade 1 who is going to be beating me in about another year.” That Sooke youngster is Rowan James. He’ll get back to Victoria on

and he’s six years old,” said Leblanc, who attributes the trend to the introduction of chess championships in grade schools about 15 years ago. Leblanc is one of the organizers of the upcoming Open. The ninegame, six-day event is an international tournament – a step above the recent Grand Pacific Open, which generally attracts more local talent. “We had to go to Toronto last year and put a bid in for it,” Leblanc said. “It hadn’t been held in British Columbia since 1999, so we thought it was time for the province to put in a bid.” Five years’ organizing the Grand Pacific tournament gave the local group the reputation they needed to secure the bid.

VIHA prepared to close Oak Bay Lodge Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
Complex care will go elsewhere after Oak Bay council denied variances that would have seen Oak Bay Lodge replaced with a modern care home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Baptist Housing is extremely
disappointed with this decision. We have spent the past two years working with council and the community of Oak Bay on our proposal to build a residentcentred care facility that would have provided the level of care our seniors are so deserving of,â&#x20AC;? said
Howard Johnson, CEO of Baptist Housing. Oak Bay council denied height and parking variances needed to redevelop the lodge site as a 320-bed dementia care facility, operated by Baptist Housing on behalf of the Vancouver Island Health Authority.
Celebrate
Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 150th Birthday with The Wellesley and local author Danda Humphries.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;VIHA should have asked us at the outset what we thought was appropriate on the site,â&#x20AC;? said Mayor Nils Jensen, who cast the final vote opposed to the variances. Councillors Tara Ney, Cairine Green and Michelle Kirby rounded out the opposed vote.
Most referenced the planning report offered to council last week saying that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the height of the building does not lend itself to the character of the existing community at its current location.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The design and scale is not keeping with Oak Bay and this neighbourhood
in particular,â&#x20AC;? Ney said via Skype. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The shoe doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think this is the right building for this location.â&#x20AC;? Councillors Kevin Murdoch and John Herbert voted in favour of the height and parking variances required to give the build the go-ahead.

The 320-bed requirement drives the size of the proposal, Murdoch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Modern standards demand a bigger building.â&#x20AC;? Had VIHA chosen a Langford site for the proposed facility, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we would have been hugely up in arms,â&#x20AC;? he added. Another community is the option left, says VIHA president and CEO Howard Waldner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been in discussion with that for over two years,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will now move forward to find a location for these beds at some other location. We will build the beds elsewhere, outside of Oak Bay. â&#x20AC;Ś Oak Bay Lodge will close.â&#x20AC;? Funding will transfer to the new facility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be giving the requisite one-year notice to families of the move,â&#x20AC;? Waldner said. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll start another process to seek bids to build the facility elsewhere in Greater Victoria. Once the new centre is complete, the residents and operating funding will go to the new facility. There is no immediate plan to use the Oak Bay Lodge building. Waldner said VIHA is already hearing from other municipalities interested in seeing a facility on their turf. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My target would be to have these beds open within two years.â&#x20AC;? cvanreeuwyk@ oakbaynews.com

Warm up that karaoke voice Chinatown Night Market puts call out for singers
Affordable Fun. High Performance. Celebrating 60 years in Canada
Roszan Holmen News staff
Karaoke enthusiasts are invited to hit the judges with their best shot, for a chance to sing along to the hits at the July 18 Chinatown Night Market. “The (organizing) committee got together thinking of great Asian-themed activities and of course, karaoke was the first thing that came up,” said Tony Joe, co-chair of the market committee. Joe insisted that he doesn’t sing karaoke. “Not at all. (I’m) tone deaf.” So far, there have been two audition nights. At the last one, held at Sopranos Karaoke and Sports Bar on Caledonia Street, staff filmed contestants. The videos will eventually be uploaded to a You Tube channel designated for the market. “We were amazed at the number of entries that came in,” said Joe, adding more audition nights may be planned before the finale. People don’t have to attend an audition night to enter. Karaoke videos can be submitted via an application form on the market’s website at www. chinatownnightmarket.ca. A panel of judges will select 10 finalists to perform at the July 18 market, the theme for which is Festival of Karaoke Stars. Prizes for the winner that night haven’t been finalized, but first- and second-place finishers will be invited to sing at the Victoria Dragon Boat Festival in August.

Here’s hoping the crew aboard Big Ben can get her to Maui, considering neither the skipper nor first mate has ever been to Hawaii. Despite holding decades of sailing experience (more than a century between them) neither skipper Jim McLauchlan nor first mate Tony Roberts managed to make it to those particular Pacific islands. Both bear accented speech (English and South African), indicating their seas have been elsewhere most of their lives. “I’ve been wanting to do this for years,” said McLauchlan of the Victoria to Maui International Yacht Race they embarked on yesterday (July 5) from Victoria. “It’s from here to Maui which is a good place to go. Everything is governed for safety. … You might skip on something (otherwise), now you have to do it.” Vic-Maui runs every second year starting in Victoria and finishing near Lahaina, Maui – a 2,308 nautical mile trip.

Burn unit Longtime media man appointed as citizenship judge receives financial boost Erin McCracken News staff
Burn patients who receive specialized care at the Royal Jubilee Hospital’s burn unit recently received a helping hand with their healing. The Firefighters Burn Fund of Greater Victoria, which has generated $2.5 million over the past 30 years to support burn survivors, presented a cheque last Friday for $346,865 to the Victoria Hospital Foundation’s Building Care Together campaign. The funds will pay for expensive equipment for adults who are treated at the burn and complex wound-care unit on the seventh floor of the hospital’s new Patient Care Centre. Equipment needs at the unit range from a shower misting device and pressure-relieving mattresses to ceiling mount lifts, among a long list of items. “We’re trying to give the best healing environment we can for the patients, and if it costs that kind of money, we’re just glad the citizens of (Greater) Victoria make it happen,” said Mike Finlayson, retired CFB Esquimalt firefighter and chair of the burn fund society. The money will provide “tremendous relief to patients on the Island who suffer from burns and other complex wounds,” said Dr. Chris Taylor, head of the burn unit. “The injuries these patients suffer from are some of the most difficult and painful to treat,” he said. The non-profit Firefighters Burn Fund, receives its donations through telemarketing, bequeathments and private donors. The fund also provides for peer support initiatives, burn training for nurses, and the society’s Burn House on Richmond Road, which provides a home away from home for families of burn patients receiving care at the Jubilee. emccracken@ vicnews.com
A former radio broadcaster, naval reserve officer, military spokesperson and longtime volunteer can add the role of citizenship judge to his impressive resume. Saanich resident Gerald Pash will soon retire from his current post as a member
of the public affairs team at Maritime Forces Pacific headquarters at CFB Esquimalt to take on a completely new set of responsibilities. For the next three years, on a part-time basis, Pash will be responsible for making decisions about citizenship
applications, presiding over citizenship ceremonies and administering the oath of citizenship to new Canadians. “In some ways it is an extension of my career in broadcasting and as a public affairs advisor,” Pash said in a statement.
Pash, whose new role was announced June 27, spent 27 years in radio and worked at the military base for 22 years. He is a retired lieutenantcommander who had a long career as a naval reservist in the Canadian Forces. emccracken@vicnews.com

Victoria gains international recognition for ska scene Ska Fest still going strong 13 years in Natalie North News staff
Victoria is known for its connection to the queen’s country, but at home many locals aren’t aware of our international reputation in a community borne from Caribbean culture. Next to the cherry red double decker tour buses winding through local roadways, two brightly-painted Ska Fest vans hint at Victoria’s bond with ska – the precursor to rocksteady and reggae that originated in Jamaica in the 1950s and influence on popular music today. July 10 to 14, the Victoria B.C. Ska Society presents the 13th annual Ska Festival – an event that forged ties between lovers of the genre in Victoria with their counterparts around the world in Latin America, Europe and the U.S. “It has really connected us with a lot of people and brought us close to cultures outside of our own,” said Dane Roberts, founder of the festival and artistic director of the Victoria B.C. Ska Society, who has picked up basic Spanish skills through his role. “This music is giving us connections with all these cultures abroad.” Roberts, a Mount Douglas secondary school grad, orchestrated the first Ska Festival for his final work term project as a student

In the background are society members Nev Gibson, Darcy Douglas, D'arcy Briggs, Amy Chase, Christina Cheply, Sara Peeling, Anne-Marie Gosselin, Eric Wickman, Sean Edwards and Mike Vasilev. of leisure studies administration at Dalhousie University in Halifax. It began during the height of third wave ska and put Victoria on the map as a hub for artists of the genre. The society’s efforts were buoyed by the rise of social networking via Myspace. “It was huge. All of a sudden it exposed us to other bands from other countries that had the same passion and taste for the music and we were surprised how many of them were interested in coming here despite the fact that we weren’t a big budget festival.” Venetian Califfo de Luxe was one of the first
international acts to support the event. That same year bands also came from Germany and Jamaica. Musicians continued to join the festival from the United States, Mexico, Columbia and Europe, often for little reward outside of a place to stay, and the experience. Local five-piece fave Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra started covering festival headliners Toots and the Maytals and were given an early break by Roberts, who scheduled them to play a Ska Fest after party in 2006. Now touring on the eve of a full-length studio
album release this fall, Tequila Mockingbird returns to join the lineup along with the legends. “There’s a lot of support from the festival and from (Roberts) as a person to the local music scene. And you get a lot of diverse groups from Victoria playing alongside the world’s best ska bands,” said Peter Mynett, vocalist and stand up bass player for the band. “Victoria has really seen us grow up.” Support for the festival has come from all levels, from a reinstated B.C. gaming grant to the Bogota Chamber of Commerce, which in 2010 flew Roberts to Columbia to participate in the Invest and Inspire music conference, where he met musicians that later made the Ska Fest lineup. “I think it’s about sharing. People want to share their culture, their message, their experience,” Roberts said. “I don’t know of any ska scene that’s as strong as ours anywhere throughout Canada. It is quite a phenomenon.” Last year Ska Fest drew 10,000 people to a mix of all ages, free and ticketed club shows across town. With headliners that also include Katchafire, The Pietasters, Leroy “Heptone” Sibbles and Adham Shaikh on the bill, as well as three free shows downtown, workshops and art from The Rocksteady Collective, that number is likely to grow. “It’s not the biggest festival, but it’s big enough for us and it’s fun,” Roberts added.

While music should be open for interpretation by the listener, Lyle Lovett’s 2007 album, It’s Not Big It’s Large, suggests notions of mortality, loss and the fluidity of time. It’s Not Big It’s Large opens with a swing fanfare out of Count Basie and then gets serious fast. The African-American voices that accompany Lovett on I Will Rise Up evoke America’s conscience, demanding a better future while acknowledging a troubled history. For the last few years Lovett has been alternating tours with his own band with songwriter circles when he performs with John Hiatt, and fellow Texans Guy Clark and Joe Ely. “It’s always fun and inspiring to get to hang out Michael Wilson photo with people you respect and admire, as I do these Lyle Lovett and his Acoustic Band perform three,” Lovett says. “Some- at the Royal Theatre on July 11. times touring can be an isolating experience.

UVic home to rugby’s Olympic showcase Organizers nurturing international 7s tourney Travis Paterson News staff
As the world casts its eyes on London, the road to the 2016 Olympic rugby pitch is underway. Former national player Shane Thompson was among a handful of the most prominent figures from Canada’s international rugby sevens community at the June 26 announcement of the Victoria International 7s Rugby tournament for July 13 and 14. This year’s tournament moves from UVic’s Wallace Field into the grand theatre of Centennial Stadium. It’s part of the Victoria 7s steady growth towards its goal of becoming a freestanding rugby festival, the type of which Canada has never seen, said co-organizer Doug Tate, coach of the UVic Vikes rugby team. This year’s elite men’s lineup has eight teams, including the Canadian and U.S.A. national development teams, the Cayman Islands national team, a B.C. provincial team, the Island’s Crimson Tide representative team and the North American sevens champions Old Puget Sound Beach. There’s also an elite women’s tier and an international under-18 boys division. “We’ve got national players in the women’s tier, and several youth divisions, girls and boys, so we’re happy with the way it’s going,” Tate said. Perhaps the tournament’s biggest asset, next to being an international-level tournament at

I just couldn’t let that opportunity go by without taking it.” Obee returned to Victoria in January and says she is very thankful that she is so close to Elk Lake. “I’m really lucky there’s a training centre here and that I live here so close by. Otherwise, I would have had to go to Ontario to train, whereas here I was able to just to come back home and settle in.” Obee says the excitement of the Olympics hasn’t fully hit her yet because she’s so focused on training and preparing for London. “I’m more just in the moment and getting prepared for what we have to do to get our boat the fastest it can be.” The lightweight women’s doubles will race on July 28, 30 and Aug. 1.

Central Saanich product Annie Ewart, 18, rode into second place and Oak Bay’s Adam de Vos, 18, was ninth in the women’s and men’s under-23 Canadian Road Championships in Lac-Megantic, Que. It’s an impressive pair of results for the teenagers, who both raced with the nation’s best, part of the Canadian Cycling Association sanctioned event, June 21 to 24. Ewart was the fifth overall among elite Canadian women, four back of Olympic-bound Clara Hughes. De Vos was 17th overall among the elite men, which was won by Tour de France veteran Svein Tuft, who is 17 years de Vos’ major. Ewart, a Stelly’s secondary school graduate, went pro in late 2011 with team Optum Pro Cycling/Kelly Benefit Strategies out of U.S.A. and has been having a successful year since. This year Ewart was selected by the Canadian national team to compete in the International Cycling Unionsanctioned women’s cycling road and time trial races in Gatineau, Que. De Vos recently finished second in the elite men’s category of the Bastion Square Grand Prix and was third overall among the elite men in that weekend’s general classification of the Robert Cameron Law series. sports@vicnews.com - With files from Devon MacKenzie B.C.

Paraplegic driver is living the racing dream Trevor Adelman had a new race car built at Harding Motorsports in Langley for this year’s racing season. It’s the 26-year-old’s fourth race car, built with a modified door ALYN EDWARDS that hinges down so he CLASSIC RIDES can get in and out of the driver’s seat. The car is equipped with hand controls so he can run the car on asphalt with up to 30 other race cars at up to 140 miles per hour, depending on the track. Adelman goes to the race track in a wheelchair. He says he’s living the dream, working with his closest childhood friends from Quesnel, building the racecar in the shop that’s owned by NASCAR champion Pete Harding and operated by his son Shane, also a NASCAR champion and race car builder. The car was completed in time for Adelman to start his fourth racing season in the ARCA OK Tire Sportsman Series. Adelman grew up helping his father, Dennis, work on race cars and started his own driving career at 16 at Quesnel’s Gold Pan Speedway. He’d been racing for three years when a 2004 car accident broke his back and rendered him a paraplegic at 19. Paralyzed from the waist down, Adelman was sent to the G.F. Strong Rehabilitation Centre in Vancouver. He couldn’t wait to get back behind the wheel. So, with the

help of his family, he purchased a supercharged 2001 Pontiac GTP and equipped it with hand controls so he could check himself out of the centre every night to go driving. Adelman talks about the amazing community support when he returned home to Quesnel. “My friends told me, if I could drive a car, I could go racing,” he says. “Then they built me a race car.” The 1982 Monte Carlo purchased locally had already been a race car. Thus, NFA (No Feet Adelman) Racing was born – crew chief Warren Dagenais, Shaun Quechuck and Justin Grouette (setup), James McKelvie (fabrication) and Jason McAndrews (mechanical).

idea to have a paraplegic racing. “They just hadn’t seen that before,” Adelman recalls. “But we showed up and went racing.” In the first lap of his second race, his car got squeezed between two others, hit the wall and rolled upside down. “You could have heard a pin drop at the track,” he says. “I was alright. But the car was a write-off.” Crew chief Warren Dagenais responded by saying: “I guess we’re building you a new car.” Back competing in 2007, Adelman was able to put up some great finishes on the northern tracks, including Quesnel, Williams Lake and Prince George. He led the points at his home track for the entire 2008 season. But his car developed mechanical problems in the last race of the year and he finished fifth overall. For 2009, he took a huge step up with a new car purchased in Peachland to compete in the ARCA OK Tire Sportsmen’s Series with late model stock cars driving up to 225 kph. The B.C. race tour took him to Vernon, Agassiz and north central tracks with a race car that could compete anywhere in North America. He had a few minor sponsors from Quesnel. But travel costs for a crew of five and the need to buy four new tires for every race ate up the money and

limited the team from entering more than five races. “It costs about $3,000 a weekend,” Adelman says. Voted the most improved driver for the 2010 season, Adelman finished in the top 10 of 25 cars for the 2011 ARCA Race Series. Along the way he met Shane Harding. “I was amazed at what these guys do,” Harding says. “They have to work twice as hard as everyone else and still they are real competitors.” This spring, a new race car was built from scratch at the Harding Motorsports shop in Langley. Trevor Adelman and his crew stayed on-site in a rented motor home while working with Harding to put the car together with a frame shipped from Port City Racing in Michigan. The car has been fitted with a simple hand controls: pull for gas and push for brake.
The budget for this year’s racing is $80,000, including the cost of the new car. “We have raised about half through sponsorships and the sale of merchandise. We still need more sponsorship help to keep racing.” Bigger sponsors this year include Babcon Industries and Brody Lawrence Contracting, K2 Courier Services, Huska Construction, all of Quesnel, with Northern Energy Constructors of Prince George just signing on. Adelman’s Vancouver personal injury lawyer David Doig is also a sponsor. Pete Harding donated space in his shop to build the new race car and Shane Harding helped build the car at cost. “I really admire what this crew does,” he says. The crew’s first race was in Vernon May 12. Adelman will compete on B.C. tracks through the summer and hopes to enter the Fall Classic Race in Las
Vegas. “My friends and family have been amazing,” he says with special gratitude to his parents, sisters and grandparents on both sides of the family. “We have tons of fans and are a favourite at every track” He and his crew plan to trailer the new race car to the G.F. Strong Rehabilitation Centre in August “to show people that, despite what happens, you can make your life worthwhile.” In his spare time, Adelman sings in the country rock band Rockin’Chair and has opened for country stars Travis Tritt and Aaron Pritchett. “I wouldn’t trade anything for where I am at today,” he says. “I’m truly living the dream.” The best may be yet to come. For more information, contact nfa-racing@hotmail.com or Trevor Adelman on Facebook.

Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake – independence at its most beautiful METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM
Mercedes-Benz has added a fifth door to the CLS, calling it the Shooting Brake. While clearly a CLS, the new model adds much more cargo space.
With the new Shooting Brake, Mercedes-Benz has unveiled a new CLS that is quite clearly a coupe, but with five doors and a roof which continues through to the rear. The idea of the four-door coupe introduced in 2004 with the first CLS has now been taken to new heights and to innovative effect. The proportions of the CLS Shooting Brake are surprising but clearly those of a coupe. It is only when taking a second look
that it becomes clear that the Shooting Brake actually has five doors and offers “more” in terms of function. In essence, it represents an unprecedented version of a sports car with five seats and a large tailgate. The second generation of the CLS set high standards in terms of the design and quality of the interior: straightforward elegance combined with innovative details and handcrafted perfection. The Shooting Brake also applies this same aspiration in the luggage compartment. It is lined with highquality carpet, and the hand-stitched
material is also incorporated into the sideliners in conjunction with leather appointments. Optional designer loading rails made of aluminum give an even more exclusive look. Cherry tree wood is a classic among fine wood species and contrasts perfectly with the inlaid smoked oak and aluminum rails. This affords the luggage compartment a touch of elegance normally found on yachts, combined with the exciting worlds of technology and precision craftsmanship.

Chevrolet Malibu Eco achieves double safety honours METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM
The 2013 Chevrolet Malibu Eco is the first and only all-new 2013 mid-size car to receive double honours for safety including a FiveStar Overall Vehicle Score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and a 2012 Top Safety Pick by the U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Both are the highest ratings possible. The IIHS tests vehicles to determine how well they protect occupants in front and side crash tests, in rollovers via a roof strength test, and simulated rear impacts to evaluate seat and head restraints for protection against neck injuries. The Malibu Eco achieved a “good” score in all four types of tests performed and has standard electronic stability control, which the IIHS requires for Top Safety Pick designation. In achieving the Five-Star Overall Vehicle Score, the Malibu Eco was tested under NHTSA’s revised New Car Assessment Program. The overall score is based on frontal and side crash tests in addition to evaluation for rollover resistance. Under the rating system, performances in three test segments are combined mathematically into an “Overall Vehicle Score.”

McLaren Automotive has announced its second model, one that will stir the soul even more than its first: the 616 hp, twin-turbo V8-engined, open roofed 12C Spider. The 12C Spider is based on the same super stiff carbon fibre MonoCell chassis as its hardtop sibling and so will
$
be just as dynamic to drive. But removing the roof will dial up the sensations experienced, the emotions felt and the noise heard. And true to McLaren’s ethos of offering high performance without compromise, the 12C Spider will be more usable than any car this exciting has a right to be. One man used to excitement behind the wheel is Jenson Button.
