Treatment foes go on offensive against project Group calling for science-based decision-making launches salvo Daniel Palmer News staff
The Capital Regional District should request an exemption to new federal regulations that require it to build a sewage treatment system, says an opponent of the project. The Association for Responsible and Environmentally Sustainable Sewage Treatment (ARESST) believes the current system of pumping screened sewage into the Strait of Juan de Fuca is safe and effective. The group held a press conference at Clover Point on Monday and called on the CRD to refuse to begin construction unless an environmental impact assessment can prove the current system is causing harm. “What annoys scientists is when people pretend to be doing things for scientific reasons when they’re not,” said prof. Chris Garrett of the University of Victoria’s Earth and Ocean Sciences Department. The federal government’s Wastewater Systems Effluent Regulations were announced last week and require all municipalities to meet a threshold for sewage treatment. They estimate 25 per cent of municipalities across the country will require sewage treatment upgrades to comply. Former federal environment minister David Anderson said the regulations are too broad and need to be adjusted for regions like Greater Victoria that treat their sewage by alternative means. “If the federal government decided to have the same snow-removal requirements for Victoria as in Quebec, we would call that ridiculous,” he said. But CRD board chair Geoff Young said the regulations are “here to stay” and the region has no plans to apply for an exemption. Any delay could also risk losing the combined $500-million promised from higher levels of government for the project, he said. “It is very clear through new regulations that the discharge of raw sewage is not going to be something that the governments are prepared to accept.” dpalmer@vicnews.com

Victoria West, will be carved off into a new riding comprising Esquimalt and much of the West Shore. “Unfortunately, the proposed boundaries do not reflect the geographic realities of southern Vancouver Island,” Savoie wrote in a prepared statement. “(They) are drawn in a way that will divide communities.” The Esquimalt-Colwood riding would include Esquimalt, Highlands and View Royal, and portions of Victoria, Langford, Colwood and Saanich.
“Whereas up until now, all these communities belonged to the same riding as much as possible, they are being divided in an almost haphazard way.” Victoria city council is also concerned. On Thursday it passed a motion by Coun. Lisa Helps, Vic West liaison, that Mayor Dean Fortin make a submission on behalf of the city during an upcoming public hearing.

VICTORIA NEWS - Wednesday, July 25, 2012
Moving time 14,300 military members are being posted this fiscal year. The News sheds light on families moving to and from CFB Esquimalt this summer Erin McCracken News staff
W
ith a tired smile, Melissa Whitney watches her eldest son play in the front yard. “Look mom, I’m opening the door,” Keegan, 5, calls gleefully to her, twisting the handle of the front door lying on the front lawn. Movers arrived at the breakfast hour, first removing the door from the Whitney family home in the Work Point military housing community in Esquimalt, before beginning the daylong job of loading boxes of personal belongings, beds and appliances onto a nearby moving truck. Another moving truck is parked farther down the street, a telltale sign that military posting season – which heats up across Canada every summer – is in full swing at CFB Esquimalt. Melissa’s husband, Master Cpl. Rob Whitney, is one of 14,300 Canadian Forces members, including about 1,150 from CFB Esquimalt, who will continue with their careers at another base, at home or abroad, this fiscal year. The Whitneys are headed to CFB Suffield, near Medicine Hat, Alta., after a five-year posting to CFB Esquimalt, where Rob worked as a land communications and information systems technician. Rob’s third posting allows Melissa and their sons, Keegan, and Luka, 3, to move closer to family.
“Change is always good,” says Melissa, the daughter of a British army medic father who spent much of his career on the move. “I don’t understand how people can be in the same house, in the same town for years and years and years. I crave change.” Many military members view their career more as a lifestyle than just a source of income. Part of working for the Canadian military often means relocating for training purposes or filling positions left vacant by members who have been promoted to the next rank, or who are retiring or leaving the military. “The whole focus of the military is having the right member in the right position at the right time,” says Chief Warrant Officer Cate Gaudet, who works within CFB Esquimalt’s administration branch, which includes the base orderly room where the files of posted members are managed. “Each position has very specific requirements.” That means big change for families. To help, the Esquimalt Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC) launched an e-tool in February called Navigating Your Move. It offers a detailed, step-by-step explanation of what to expect during a move, possible challenges and a relocation checklist, among other links. “It’s set up like a road map, so it’s like your journey through your move, from the time you get your posting message to the time you unpack your house in the new location,” says Colleen Cahoon, co-ordinator of FamilyNavigator.ca, the
During military posting season, Military Family Resource Centre staff regularly receive requests for information, referrals and support from families on the move. Esquimalt MFRC staff Mary Lou Climenhaga, left, and Colleen Cahoon, who have been through postings themselves, provide tools and information to posted families. Erin McCracken/News staff

Master Cpl. Rob Whitney, his wife, Melissa, and their sons Luka, 3, and Keegan, 5, wait on the front lawn of their military home in Esquimalt on moving day. Whitney moved his family from CFB Esquimalt to CFB Suffield in Alberta last month. website that hosts the e-tool. The website was launched by the Esquimalt MFRC seven years ago and today provides a list of services offered near or at each Canadian base, from housing, medical care and eldercare to special needs, child care and education. “The problem for military families is that there isn’t consistency (in available services) from province to province,” Cahoon says. “Each family is different and they each have different needs once they get to the new place.” Like many military spouses, Jennifer Campbell faced her move by first walking in to her MFRC in Greenwood, N.S. for an information package on CFB Esquimalt. She also went there for resources on how to help her shy daughter with the change ahead. Jennifer’s husband, Cpl. Troy Campbell, is an air force firefighter who has been posted from CFB Greenwood to a ship at the West Coast naval base. The couple, their seven-year-old son, Michael, and daughter Belle, 4, are crossing Canada to begin their new life at the Belmont Park military family housing community in Colwood. “It helped us check off some things on our list,” Jennifer says of using MFRC services. “For me as a wife and a mother of two small kids, I want to know where the school is, where the hospital is.” When the couple came here on their house-hunting trip in June, they made sure to visit the MFRC in Colwood. “We stopped in to get information on a list of doctors and dentists, because I guess doctors are like a gold mine to find,” says Jennifer, who had never travelled west of Ontario before her house-hunting trip. “I like that they

had the 24-hour (info) phone line ... especially now going without any family around.” Staff at 32 MFRCs across Canada play a pivotal role in enhancing the quality of life for families, arming them with information that can help them settle in their new city, among other services. “It’s that whole starting over each time you move. It’s hard for everybody,” says Mary Lou Climenhaga, the Esquimalt MFRC’s community integration and information and referral co-ordinator. Despite the unknowns the Campbells had to navigate before leaving Greenwood, they remain excited about the future and life in Greater Victoria – for the most part. “We can’t wait to get there. It’s just absolutely gorgeous,” Jennifer says. “The only sad part is leaving family.” For Master Cpl. Whitney, postings are about much more than a career opportunity, and saying goodbye. “It’s the mentality of ‘Oh, I’ll see you down the road,’” he says. “Technically, the military’s a small city, so I’ll run into people five, 10 years from now that I’ll still be good friends with.” editor@vicnews.com

Two vehicle collisions left Victoria police scrambling Thursday afternoon (July 19). In an incident around 4 p.m., a 63-year-old Saanich motorcyclist collided with a Smart Car, sending the rider to hospital with critical injuries. As of Monday, his condition had been upgraded to stable. The driver of the vehicle, an 87-year-old Victoria woman, was turning left from Douglas Street onto Market Street, police said. A collision earlier in the day involved a commercial truck and a cyclist. The northbound truck was making a right turn onto Burdett Avenue off Douglas Street when the cyclist became trapped underneath the vehicle. The rider escaped with minor injuries, but his bike was destroyed, said police spokesperson Mike Tucker. VicPD crash analysts continue to investigate both collisions.

Community plan gets thorough vetting Public hearing on city document to continue July 30 Roszan Holmen News staff
“Development opportunities” on the waterfront have taken a back seat to “public realm” enhancements in Victoria’s draft Official Community Plan. City council debated that wording change and others during a four-hour debate last week. Based on feedback received at a public hearing June 27, councillors brought forward small, but significant tweaks to the 258page document. Coun. Ben Isitt suggested changing the direction to “realize development opportunities
for public land west of Wharf Street.” Council voted for a compromise: to enhance the public realm on city-owned waterfront land and to complete the Harbour Pathway in partnership with development, where appropriate. “We’re taking the ‘for sale signs’ off those lots,” Isitt said. Council also approved an amendment to limit parking for marine users. The OCP will serve as the highest-level planning document to guide decisions over land use and resource allocation for the next 30 years. Core to the plan is a direction to grow small commercial centres to create more walkable communities. While there was some concern residents will resist more density in their
neighbourhoods, council held firm to this vision. “One thing we heard consistently (was that) people wanted us to focus on urban centres,” Mayor Dean Fortin said. “Not everybody is going to agree with that. But that was really clear.” Other amendments clarified that a new central library needs to be located in the downtown. By 11:25 p.m., the debates were still ongoing, requiring the meeting to be adjourned. Part two of the meeting to pass third reading of the OCP is scheduled for July 30.

Would the name of the City of Victoria be on the table if the price was right? Coun. Ben Isitt raised the question Thursday to push the boundaries during a debate about a proposed namingrights policy. “Would a tree be eligible as a city asset?” he pushed further. “Would the leaves on a tree be eligible?” Mayor Dean Fortin, however, lost patience with the trajectory. “I believe you’re being extremely rhetorical,” he cut in. Moving forward with the draft policy won a majority vote during Thursday’s governance and priorities meeting. But by Friday, that commitment was doubtful. Council approved the city’s top 16 priorities to guide their three-year term, but naming rights didn’t make the cut. What that means for the future of the naming-rights policy is yet to be seen. “That will be a discussion that’s upcoming,” said Coun. Shellie Gudgeon. “We have gone through a democratic exercise in identifying our priorities. To start shifting our minds at this point … it’s interesting.” If council votes to pursue a namingrights policy, it will proceed to a full-public consultation before being adopted. The assets most likely to attract sponsorship include
the conference centre, the Crystal Pool and “bridges.” Coun. Pam Madoff wondered how much a corporate naming right is worth to the city. As an example, she pointed to the University of British Columbia, where
corporations must pay one-third of the cost of a building to have their name on it. Coun. Lisa Helps said that’s the appropriate scale to look at. “If someone wanted to name the Johnson Street Bridge, they’d have to pay
a minimum of $31 million,” she said. “That’s an interesting proposition.” If it happens, public consultation would be held in conjunction with the city’s public budget meetings scheduled for this fall. rholmen@vicnews.com

Time is running out to leave a lasting mark on the next 100 years of Esquimalt’s history. The Memorial Walkway Project will replace the existing asphalt path at Memorial Park with 17,000 engraved bricks, inscribed with the names of families and businesses that have helped shape the township’s heritage. “What we’re trying to do is capture the fabric of Esquimalt over the last 100 years,” says Bruce Devitt, co-chair of the Esquimalt Centennial Committee. Devitt wants the walkway to pay homage to the centennial motto: Honouring our past, celebrating our present, imagining our future. The committee hopes to have 600 bricks
claimed by Aug. 10, the last day to guarantee installation by the end of the year. Inscriptions cost $100 for a four-by-eight-inch brick or $200 for an eight-by-eight brick. “We’re at 455 (bricks) right now,” he says. “Some of the older families have actually created a family tree going back as much as five generations. For me, it’s quite exciting that people are doing this.” Sherri Robinson is part of that five-generation Esquimalt family. “It’s actually seven generations for my granddaughter,” she says. Robinson’s great-great-grandparents, James William and Elizabeth Bland, arrived in 1859 and established a halfway house at what is now the Esquimalt Inn. Although her relatives have gravesites at Ross Bay cemetery, the walkway provides an opportunity to put her entire family history in one place.
“I like to think of it as a memory walk within our memorial park,” she says. The committee plans to respect the park’s cenotaph by leaving the immediate surrounding bricks unmarked, and by reserving closer bricks for military engravings, which will be organized chronologically as the path progresses. “Hopefully, it’s like a time capsule – it will go into the future and leave a record for the next hundred years,” Devitt said. Construction will begin sometime in September, with the first phase of the walkway scheduled for completion by Thanksgiving Day weekend. To purchase a brick, visit the township’s website at esquimalt.ca or pick up an application form at the municipal hall or Esquimalt Recreation Centre. dpalmer@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW
Treatment foes must hound CRD In 2007, the News had a discussion with a broad-based, highly placed group of scientists from the University of Victoria. Focused only partly on the price tag of the Capital Regional District’s proposed sewage treatment system, they said the net benefit to the local marine environment of pumping treated sewage into the ocean, rather than screened raw sewage, would be minimal. Other more pressing problems, such as the loss of marine habitat due to development and the impact of invasive, non-native species – not to mention the effect of polluted stormwater – should take financial precedence, they said. We believed them then and still find their arguments, and those of anti-treatment group ARREST, led by ex-Colwood mayor John Bergbusch and former medical health officer Dr. Shaun Peck, compelling. While the CRD held open houses outlining a range of strategies for heeding the provincial mandate to treat the region’s sewage, there was virtually no public consultation around the actual decision to treat or not treat our effluent. That is problematic. But with federal regulations stipulating wastewater treatment now in place, an extra set of regulatory eyes are watching how the CRD proceeds on this matter. If, as former Victoria MP and environment minister David Anderson implied Monday at an ARESST press conference at Clover Point, the opportunity remains for the region to lobby for an exemption to the federal rules, based on a lack of scientific evidence supporting the benefits of secondary treatment, that needs to be determined as quickly as possible. But for the feds to make a funding announcement for the CRD project in the highprofile manner seen last week, it’s clear they’ve made up their mind on this issue. The Stephen Harper Conservatives are not in the habit of leaving much to chance when it comes to their public image. Pulling an aboutface now, especially after coming out with new federal regulations so soon afterward, would make them look pretty foolish. The role of the treatment opponents should now shift to keeping the CRD’s feet to the fire and ensuring hundreds of millions of dollars of tax money are spent wisely. What do you think?

I made it to the top of Mount Washington on July 15 with my team – and we were all elated – but I barely remember the ride. What’s stayed with me, instead, were the emotions I felt.

VICTORIA NEWS - Wednesday, July 25, 2012
LETTERS CRD’s position on treatment clarified The Core Area Wastewater Treatment Project will bring the Capital Regional District into compliance with two sets of legislation which apply to wastewater discharges: the B.C. municipal sewage regulation under the Environmental Management Act, and the federal wastewater system effluent regulations under the Fisheries Act. Without moving forward with the Core Area Wastewater Treatment Project, the CRD would not be in compliance with the new standards, and would face penalties, including fines.
To be in compliance with both the provincial directives and federal regulations concerning the discharge of wastewater effluent, the CRD is required to have secondary sewage treatment in place by 2020. The new facilities will be designed to meet these requirements and will be a significant benefit to the residents of the region and our receiving marine environment. The CRD has a commitment to meet regulations. We are fortunate to have a funding commitment from our provincial and federal
government partners. Many other communities are now wondering how they will fund treatment projects to comply with the new federal standards. The CRD and the core area municipalities of Colwood, Esquimalt, Langford, Oak Bay, Saanich, Victoria and View Royal have been working on the cost allocation for the wastewater treatment program for the last two years, to arrive at a fair and equitable approach that has incentives and is understandable, stable and straightforward to administer. The CRD will allocate costs
to the municipalities and each jurisdiction will decide how best to recover costs from their residents. Cost allocation will be based on each municipality’s required treatment capacity. The regional district’s analysis to date shows that the highest average household cost by municipality is less than $500 annually and the lowest average cost is slightly more than $200.

Readers respond: Sewage treatment, tuberculosis funding Anderson’s argument on sewage hits mark Re: Money for treatment plant not in bank yet (Opinion, July 20) David Anderson’s logical and concise opposition to the Capital Regional District’s proposed wastewater treatment plans is weakened by his negative comments regarding federal funding assistance. Yes, some regional activists perceive the current CRD sewage system to be inadequate. No, that does not warrant the province receiving an increased and disproportionate share of forthcoming national infrastructure funding. Based on the reported findings of a multidisciplinary team of 10 from the University of Victoria and the work by six current and former public health officers, Anderson emphasizes that there are neither environmental needs nor health benefits to be realized with the CRD’s proposed sewage plan. This lack of a verified requirement must be a determining factor, and confirms there is no justification for a new sewage system that will cost every household in the CRD hundreds of dollars every year. Over what are now years of discussing sewage options, we’ve been subjected to the media-focused hijinks of Mr. Floatie. That this brown-costumed individual impersonating excrement may have influenced public opinion is unfortunate. That Mr. Floatie may have had a greater influence than our local scientists and technical experts is sad commentary on our collective judgement.
The final decision on the CRD sewage proposal is a political decision. It’s time to convince our elected representatives of the error of their ways. Media noise is not general consensus, and in this matter our UVic scientists and public health officers should be trusted. The proposed CRD sewage extravaganza must be stopped. Ron Johnson Saanich
Big-dollar projects don’t impress reader I hope local tourism officials take full advantage of the opportunity provided by the Great Sewage Treatment Boondoggle. I suggest setting up a giant toilet along the Pat Bay Highway, with a large mechanical hand constantly flushing hundred-dollar bills down it. There should also be a big sign reading, “Welcome to Victoria: the Boondoggle Capital of Canada. In addition to our Great Sewage Treatment Boondoggle, be sure to check out our Colossal Johnson Street Bridge Boondoggle and our plans for the Humongous Light Rapid Transit Boondoggle.� Gordon Pollard Victoria
Cumulative expense overloading taxpayers Re: Victoria braces for the big flush (Our View, July 18) It is no secret that the cost of sewage is going to increase by a significant amount in the near future. Perhaps it is more of a secret, or certainly lack of awareness, just how much water, garbage and sewage costs have increased
in recent years. My personal bills from the city show alarming increases, even before the proposed new system. I feel very uneasy that no one person or group in our local government has even a reasonable idea of the cumulative cost of sewage, the bridge and other major capital expenditure projects on the horizon, and that we will find out after the money has been spent. The resulting taxes and fees will make Victoria too expensive for residents and businesses. Any movement from Victoria to less expensive jurisdictions in outlying areas will only exacerbate the problem. James McMillan Victoria
TB treatment funding good value for dollar In times of austerity, difficult choices must be made, and it is hoped that political leaders will base those decisions on sound information and evidence. But as the recent “death of evidence� protests indicate, the Conservatives in Ottawa have a poor record in making prudent fiscal choices. The latest such failure is the Canadian International Development Agency’s intended 33-per-cent cut
to tuberculosis treatment funding, in the face of an overall nine per cent budget cut. A lot of debate occurs as to where health funding should go, but public health experts agree TB is not one of them. Tuberculosis is easy and inexpensive to treat, with extremely high success rates. And the social and economic consequences of cutting back on TB treatment funding are enormous. There are many global hotspots where HIV is treated at a cost approaching $1,000 a year per person, and yet one-quarter of those treated individuals will die of TB, which only costs $20 to treat. Additionally, inconsistent TB funding has resulted in drug-resistant TB taking hold. It has even been detected in Canada. As SARS taught us, there are no borders to infectious disease. While the loss of CIDA funding is itself hard to justify given Canada’s enviable economic position in the world, directing a disproportionate amount of this loss on one of the world’s most successful health programs is unjustifiable. If these cuts continue as planned, this time the “death of evidence� will result in countless real deaths throughout the world. Nathaniel Poole Victoria

Vision Matters Dr. Rachel Rushforth
Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.
Can glasses weaken my eyes? There is a common misconception that wearing corrective lenses weakens the eye and helps speed the deterioration of eyesight. There is absolutely no scientiďŹ c basic for this. Studies have shown no difference in the course of a person’s eyesight with or without glasses. Sometimes it may seem as if the glasses make eyesight weaker. Uncorrected vision may appear worse than it did before glasses. This is because vision seems much less clear without glasses after enjoying the clear vision that they provide. We should not blame glasses for making vision worse as we age. Almost everyone develops the need for reading correction between the age of 39 and 45. This is because the focusing lens inside the eyes becomes less exible and glasses are required to allow us to read comfortably. Straining your eyes and trying to force them to see without glasses will not in any way strengthen them. Actually the best way to keep eyesight at its best at any age is to get regular professional eyecare. Postponement or procrastination jeopardizes comfort, efďŹ ciency and even one’s safety.

Rail’s E&N service to Courtenay sold its last ticket in April 2011. Last month, the city sent out a bid for proposals for its removal and reuse – a potentially costly project, requiring the disassembly and reas-

Input sought on boundary changes Continued from Page A1
“We believe it is important that, as much as possible, the federal boundaries reflect the municipal boundaries,” Helps wrote. The hearing, one of numerous sessions being held across the country to gather public opinion on the proposed boundary changes, happens Oct. 17 at the Victoria Conference Centre at 7 p.m. Notices of submission are due by Aug. 30.

Craigflower Bridge project moved to 2013 Kyle Slavin News staff
Craigflower Bridge will be well into its 80th year of service when Saanich begins its replacement project, now slated for the summer of 2013. While the original start for the joint Saanich-View Royal project was this summer, engineers were forced to put the project on hold while they awaited federal environmental and archaeological permits. Initially, there was talk about construction potentially running from the winter through to spring, but those plans were scrapped. “We heard a lot of feedback from local businesses that the loss of (access during) the Christmas shopping season would be devastating,” said Jim Hemstock, Saanich manager of transportation.
CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF ESQUIMALT
Not having to shuttle schoolkids back and forth over the Gorge Waterway was another reasons to go with the summer schedule, he said. While Hemstock anticipates the permits will be issued in August, he said the Department of Fisheries and Oceans will have the final say on when construction can take place. “By June 1 the herring have finished their run and the salmon don’t start until
Sept. 15. That’s what drives the window.” Engineers are completing the final design of the bridge. Saanich plans to prequalify contractors this fall and send the project to tender in February. “We’re thinking we’re going to give the folks a long time to work on their bid – hopefully that will lead to better pricing,” Hemstock said. The $10.7-million project is funded mostly by federal gas

Esquimalt Graving Dock, where the finishing touches will be done on a future contingent of naval and Coast Guard vessels, is getting its own $101-million overhaul. Over the next five years the money, part of the federal government’s Economic Action Plan 2012, will pay for modernization and restoration to the dock, built in 1927 and owned by Public Works and Government Services Canada. Victoria Shipyards, owned by Seaspan Marine Corp., bases its operations at the site and regularly uses the drydock to repair and overhaul Royal Canadian Navy ships, B.C. Ferries vessels and cruise ships, among others. Last fall, Seaspan won an $8-billion contract to build non-combat naval and Canadian Coast Guard vessels. While much of the work will be done at Seaspan’s Vancouver Shipyards, the ships will be completed at Victoria Shipyards. The investment will ensure that Public Works and Government Services Canada fulfills its obligations to all ship-repair companies booking the facility over the long term, including any work springing from the National Shipbuilding Strategy, a department spokesperson told the News. Rona Ambrose, Minister of Public Works and Government Services, said last month that her government’s priority is the economy and job creation. “By supporting the ship repair and shipbuilding industry on Canada’s Pacific Coast, we are creating local jobs and generating long-term economic benefits for British Columbia,” she said. Esquimalt Graving Dock is the largest deep-sea shipbuilding and repair facility on Canada’s West Coast, providing about 1,300 jobs for the region. editor@vicnews.com

The innovative world of ‘makers’ unveiled Machine tinkerers, computer hackers live out DIY mantra Erin Cardone News staff
On a desk below a bright window sits a wooden cube, a rainbow mess of wires spraying from its top and sides forming a 3-D printer. Four metres away sits a mini beer brewery that looks like a 1920s refrigerator in dull black. Under one of the taps, a plastic cup has a skiff of brew in the bottom. Nearby are chisels, lathes and saws, sawdust and wooden workbenches. Next, a propane forge, anvils, hammers. Tucked under the bench, a casting forge for bronze work. Victoria Makerspace in Central Saan-
ich is the hobby shop of one of the most diverse range of talents on the south Island. Its members are designers, woodworkers, blacksmiths, hackers and do-it-yourself brewers. “Makers” are part of a growing worldwide trend with roots in the artisan movement. The idea is people can make the things they need by learning from local experts, rather than buying products from faraway markets. “The thing most driving me is building a community of people who like to learn. Really neat things come out of it,” says Derek Jacoby, who started Victoria Makerspace a year and a half ago. It began as a hackerspace – a society of people who develop open hardware and media – but quickly became a venue for more diverse talents. Jacoby likens the space to a library, where people can gain access to information – or in this case, tools and

know-how – for a certain project. Original member Thomas Gray leaves his laser cutter at the space – a tool well out of the reach of most people’s budgets – for others to use. “Thirty years from now, this (cuttter) is going to be astounding stuff and people are going to have one at home,” he said. With the goal of connecting with other “makers” in the region that can help Makerspace grow beyond its hacker, wood and metal shops, the group is hosting the Mini Maker Faire this weekend (July 28 and 29) at Panorama Recreation Centre in North Saanich. “We’re really trying to reach out to people who make things with their hands,” Jacoby says. Admission is $15.

Power ballads help reclaim historic street Roszan Holmen News staff
A block party typically suggests a gathering of neighbours, tables filled with potluck food such as hotdogs and chips, and kids playing on their street, which is closed to traffic for the afternoon. Get rid of these notions for the upcoming Amelia Street Block Party. Or amplify them by a factor of 1,000. That’s the number of people expected at the Aug. 4 event. Block parties look a little different when they’re organized by Nick Blasko. Fresh from the Rock the Shores concert headlining the Tragically Hip, Blasko and his team are throwing a block party before gearing up for Rifflandia, a fourday music festival in September that he launched in 2008. In 2010 Blasko and his colleagues bought a 1913 Amelia Street house, and renamed themselves the Amelia Street Artists. “The street in particular is a street I’ve always been fascinated with growing up in Victoria,� said Blasko. “It is a beautiful row of heritage houses, yet the other side is

And while the needle exchange has been closed for several years, the two-block street never fully
recovered, Blakso said. It is, however, a street in transition. “People are sprucing up their properties; there are major condominiums building built nearby,� he said. The party is a way to celebrate a
unique corridor in the city that is often overlooked, he said. It’s also about celebrating the city’s 150th anniversary. Blasko received a 150-celebration grant, and plans to highlight the history of the street during the event. Theatre Skam will perform historical skits throughout the day, and old photos of Amelia Street will be on display. So far, the oldest image is from the 1950s but Blasko is hoping to track down older photographs. Today, all the turn-of-the-century houses are occupied by businesses. Through organizing the party, “we’ve been slowly getting to know our neighbours, which has been nice,� said Blasko. The event runs from noon to 8 p.m., and features a long line up of local musicians, such as Acres of Lions, Chris Ho, Clay George and others. There will also be chances to participate, such as with live-band karaoke. For people more inclined to sing along with the crowd, for one hour a DJ will play power ballads. A power ballad is a mid-tempo
ballad with epic vocals, said Blasko, adding, “think Phil Collins or Journey.� “They bring about the most ridiculous sing-along. It is the most hysterical yet awesome participatory thing you can ever witness. These are songs that have these really dramatic and recognizable moments in them and the crowd just all goes wild.� Hosting the event is Michael Delamont, a comedian who recently completed the fringe-festival circuit across the country. “To get him to commit this much time to us is amazing,� said Blasko. rholmen@vicnews.com

Six Victoria voices win award
Submitted photo
The members of Hexaphone took home the Best Performance of a Canadian Composition award from the International Choral Kathaumixw in Powell River.
Hexaphone, Victoria’s six-member a cappella ensemble, won the Elmer Iseler Prize for the Best Performance of a Canadian Composition at the International Choral Kathaumixw, a biennial five-day choral festival in Powell River. The award was announced at the closing gala concert on July 7. Hexaphone, which includes Carolyn Howe (soprano), Hannah Mitchell (alto), John Doughty (tenor), Ian Bullen (tenor), Nicholas Fairbank (baritone), and Paul Boughen (bass), sang Four Limericks written by composer Fairbank. The composition for six voices was presented in the Contemporary Choral music competition at Kathaumixw. Hexaphone repeated its winning performance of Four Limericks to the assembled
audience and international choirs attending the gala concert. The ensemble also placed second in the two classes that they entered, competing against choirs from Canada, Puerto Rico, Australia, China, Mexico, the United States and the Philippines. Now in its 10th season, the group was formed in 2002 with the goal of performing diverse styles of vocal music, one voice to a part. Hexaphone has become a highlight of Victoria’s music scene, singing music of many styles and periods, with a particular focus on new Canadian works. The group has appeared at the Victoria Symphony’s New Currents Festival, the Voice++ Festival, and the New Music In New Places concert series. llavin@vicnews.com

Lowry named coach of Victoria Royals NHL veteran coached Calgary Hitmen, Flames Travis Paterson News staff
The last time Dave Lowry coached in the Western Hockey League, he led the Calgary Hitmen to 59 wins in 72 games. Add in the Hitmen’s 14 playoff wins from that 2008-09 season and Lowry was behind the bench for 73 wins in total. That’s more than three times the amount of wins the Victoria Royals got in 2011-12. It’s a fresh start for the Royals, with Cam Hope named general manager on July 6 and Lowry named head coach on July 19. But there’s no denying the new bosses have their work cut out for them. “Opportunity is the reason I’m here,” said Lowry, who was with the Calgary Flames as an assistant coach the past three seasons. “As soon as Royals owner Graham Lee said (Marc Habscheid would be replaced) by two different positions, general manager and head coach, it solidified my interest. I called the team to let them know I was interested. “For me it’s coaching only. I’m not interested in the GM side of it.” Lowry, a player’s coach, said he’ll push an up-tempo style of play. As a pro, Lowry played 19 years
in the NHL, starting in 1985 with the Vancouver Canucks, and ending in 2004 with the Calgary Flames. He moved into an assistant coaching role with the Hitmen in 2005-06 and was groomed into the head coaching role under friend and fellow ex-NHLer Kelly Kisio, who handled the GM and head coaching duties.
“For me it’s coaching only. I’m not interested in the GM side of it.” – Dave Lowry In 2007, Lowry’s name tag switched from assistant to associate as he took more responsibility on the bench, eventually taking over the head coaching duties from Kisio in 2008. “Kisio is a good friend and we had a great professional relationship that allowed me to grow into the role of head coach,” Lowry said. The expectations for that 2008-09 season was to rebuild the Hitmen, Lowry added, but instead the team finished first in the WHL regular season and lost to the Kelowna Rockets (and Jamie Benn) in the WHL finals. “Just goes to show if you establish a good leadership group and culture it looks after itself.”
Victoria marathon relaxes standards Faster runners please, and more of them. The GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon has expanded its criteria to increase the number of sub-three hour marathoners with second category of elites. There are now Elite A and Elite B qualifying standards for the full and half marathons, in effect for the Oct. 7 race. Bonus prizes for breaking a course record of $5,000 for the marathon and $1,000 for the half marathon are now up for grabs to permanent residents and refugees, whereas only Canadian citizens were eligible in prior years. Elite B athletes will receive a complimentary entry and some other services. “We want to reward all of those who have made Canada their home,” said the marathon’s elite program co-ordinator Jonathan Foweraker in a release. The total purse for 2012, including incentive bonuses, is $38,800. Visit runvictoriamarathon.com for the standard times. sports@vicnews.com
Lowry and Hope are now in the process of getting to know each other and the team. “There was about 20 names that came forward for the coaching job, all with legitimate backgrounds, enough to be coaching at the WHL level,” Hope said. “The process started even before I was announced as GM (on July 6). We had to be ruthless and whittle the list down to 10, but at no time did anything happen that made me second-guess Lowry as the top candidate.” With the coaching role filled Hope, and Lowry, can turn to the draft, rookie and training camps, which will begin on Aug. 18, 22 and 25, or thereabouts.
WHL in the family Dave Lowry has two NHL drafted sons, Joel, 20, who played with the Victoria Grizzlies from 2009 to 2011, and Adam, 19, who will return to the Swift Current Broncos this year. During Joel’s time in Victoria, he signed a scholarship deal with Cornell University and was selected by the Los Angeles Kings in the fifth round of the 2011 draft, having been previously passed up in the 2010 draft. The Winnipeg Jets selected Adam in the third round of the 2011 draft. Dave is confident that Adam would refuse to come to the Royals, in such a situation that he was available. “As a father, I want to say no, but then I’d love to have him. But
Don Denton/News staff
Dave Lowry is the new head coach of the Victoria Royals WHL hockey team, named on July 19. I don’t think he’d want to come. Even so, it would have to be a very specific situation where, as a player, he’d be what we needed.” It wouldn’t be the first time with this franchise, as one of Marc Habscheid’s first moves when he was hired as the Chilliwack Bruins GM in 2009 was to trade for son Zach’s playing rights. sports@vicnews.com
Fast facts The Vancouver Canucks drafted Lowry in the sixth round of the 1983 draft from the OHL’s London Knights. The Toronto Maple Leafs picked Russ Courtnall seventh overall that year from the Victoria Cougars.

Sunday was also the final day of racing for the Axel Merckx Youth Development series.

Island zone tops at Summer Games Big wins from the Summer Games Travis Paterson News staff
Victoria-area athletes helped the Vancouver Island-Central Coast (Zone 6) team to the top of the B.C. Summer Games standings with 101 medals, 38 of them gold. Thousands of the province’s best young athletes gathered for the closing ceremonies of the B.C. Summer Games in Surrey on Sunday. More than 2,300 athletes competed in over 20 team and individual sports, with 375 medals doled out. “These Games saw a number of records fall as B.C.’s best came together,” said B.C. Games Society president and CEO Kelly Mann of Victoria. “We are seeing an escalation in skills in several sports, and many of the young people who competed here are well on their way to becoming provinciallevel athletes.”
On the water Zone 6 rowers, many from Victoria, dominated with each of the 11 athletes getting in on the team’s nine medals. Individually, Saanich swimmer Justin Howe, 14, pulled in gold in the 400-metre individual medley, and silvers in the 200-m freestyle and 200-m backstroke. His perfor-

Zone 6 boys win volleyball gold over Fraser Valley. mance bodes well for the upcoming agegroup nationals.
Volleyball Zone 6 won gold in boys volleyball, defeating Fraser Valley two games to one in the final. The team, which is heavily made up of Victoria players, defeated rival Fraser Valley during the ongoing club season. Coach Rick Wutzke of Lansdowne middle school said it’s the first time his team won against Fraser Valley, making the importance of this title even greater. “The biggest joy is beating (Fraser Valley) after coming second to them in both club provincial and club nationals,” Wutzke said. “We persevered, winning the last set 16-14, and the full gym of spectators went wild.”
Sam Willett, a Mount Douglas secondary student, won gold in the boys discus, silver in the hammer throw and was fourth in the javelin at the Summer Games. Victoria volleyball player Alan Lau didn’t hide his excitement and happiness, and on the podium, expressed his appreciation for the experience of the Games. “We had great fun, we had new players in the team, we also made great friends with other players and teams. “Volleyball is our passion and that’s what helped us reach this victory.”
Swimming, biking and running Island Swimming athletes Holly Henry and Farisha Arensen kept up Victoria’s rep as a triathlon mecca. Henry is the gold medal winner in the girls triathlon, and also competed in the aquathlon (swim and run) and duathlon (bike and run), but did not make the podium in the latter events. Arensen, however, won both the aquathlon and duathlon, key elements to a strong future career in triathlon.

For all 38 gold medals Zone 6 won, the team came close to winning a few more. The Zone 6 girls softball team lost in the gold medal final, 7-0, to Fraser Valley. Also falling in the final was the boys rugby team in a nail-biter at South Surrey Athletic Park against Fraser Valley. Zone 6 scored first and took a 5-0 lead but Fraser Valley rallied back and ended up winning gold 12-5. “We’ve played Fraser Valley so many times (in different tournament formats),” said Brandon Schellenberger, who played hooker for Vancouver Island and also plays soccer in Victoria. “We’ve won one against them in Burnaby, and in Victoria they beat us in the finals, so taking silver twice is good (for us).” The B.C. Games cauldron will be lit again in 2014 in Mission for the Winter Games and in Nanaimo for the Summer Games.
