Debate over school Wi-Fi reignites Debate over allowing wireless Internet into Greater Victoria schools will take centre stage again after a yearand-a-half hiatus. The district’s Wi-Fi committee, established in January 2011 to investigate parental concerns over alleged health affects linked to wireless Internet in schools, will meet tonight (Oct. 17). The committee plans to review any new information regarding the technology that was submitted between May 2011 and this month. It doesn’t plan on making a ruling yet on allowing Wi-Fi into schools. “There is no question on the table that says ‘should we or should we not?’” said Pat Duncan, associate superintendent and committee chair. “People seem to think that there’s a predetermined outcome, that: ‘The school board is putting Wi-Fi in schools,’” added Peg Orcherton, chair of the Greater Victoria board of education. “The determination as to what would happen hasn’t been made.” All high schools and one elementary school in the district have Wi-Fi, but the technology hasn’t been installed in any other schools since the committee was struck. The committee set a deadline of Oct. 9 to collect new information for review. A small but vocal group of people opposed to Wi-Fi have submitted about 30 items for review, Duncan said, in addition to nearly 200 website addresses, which did not contain new information.

Despite repeated media campaigns and shocking images of devastation from other parts of the world, the vast majority British Columbians remain stubbornly unprepared for an earthquake. Provincial emergency officials estimate only 14 per cent of British Columbians are prepared for the inevitable big one. Last October, 470,000 people registered in The Great British Columbia Shake Out, a provincewide earthquake drill aimed at preparing everyone in B.C. This year, organizers hope to see that number increase. But despite the co-ordinated education effort, many people living in the high-risk coastal earthquake zone choose to ignore the warnings – a choice largely determined by what University of Victoria environmental psychologist Robert Gifford calls the “dragons of inaction.” “We all know we should brush our teeth, we should exercise, we should eat the rights things, but a lot of us don’t do those things even when we should,” Gifford said, noting that the same goes for preparing for an earthquake or other natural disaster. Many people often have other priorities or conflicting goals, which stand in the way of planning for disaster. Sometimes people who are closest to a risk actually perceive it as being a smaller risk, Gifford said, perhaps because they don’t want to face the danger or because it’s easier to suppress it. “They may think that it just won’t do any good. ‘A desk or a building isn’t going to save me so why try?’” he said. Social amplification – the influence of those who we surround ourselves with – also has a strong effect, and could be keeping the majority of people who still haven’t prepared from getting on with it, Gifford added.

UVic labour peace a work in progress

Researcher seeks families keen to cook Participants rewarded with cooking classes

One down, four more to go. The University of Victoria has reached a tentative agreement on a contract with the Professional Employees Association last week, a union which represents counsellors, instructors, system analysts, fundraisers, scientific technicians and engineers. The contract includes a two per cent wage hike retroactive to July and another two per cent hike next July. UVic and the PEA negotiated the contract last spring and this fall, over a relatively short time frame. The agreement is subject to ratification by both parties over the coming weeks. “The fact an agreement was reached without job action within that short time is a really good sign of how well things went at the table,” said Bruce Kilpatrick, the university's director of communications. Negotiations haven’t gone as well with two CUPE unions on campus. Members from CUPE 917 and 951 – representing some 1,500 non-teaching jobs such as tradespeople, food service staff, childcare workers, and office and library staff – held rotating strikes over a few days in early September. All sides were back at the bargaining table last week and talks will continue this week, including with CUPE 4163 components 1 and 2 (teaching assistants, lab assistants and French and English language instructors). CUPE 4163 component 3 (sessional instructors and music performance instructors) plans to schedule negotiating dates this week. CUPE 917 and 951 aren’t picketing during talks and both sides have agreed not to comment on the status of negotiations – other than negotiations are happening and ongoing. UVic is also negotiating with the Faculty Association, which isn’t a union, but represents faculty, senior instructors and librarians, about 900 employees. Bargaining began in April, but both sides haven’t come to an agreement, so a process of mediation will begin Oct. 22, Kilpatrick said.

Childhood obesity is among the country’s top health concerns and a University of Victoria researcher is attacking the issue one family kitchen at a time. David Trill, a master’s candidate in the school of exercise science, physical and health education at UVic, is studying child health through eating activities and is currently seeking a second round of participants to complete his home-based research project. After 40 pairs of parents and children participants, Trill needs 30 more pairs, each with a child aged nine to 13-years-old. The program requires one in-person orientation and roughly one hour of homework each week, for which families are given a takehome tool kit, including the Canada Food Guide and a recipe booklet. Trill has recently partnered with the London Chef cooking school downtown to offer a complimentary cooking skills workshop for families who participate. “Parents are sometimes a little lazy getting their kids in the kitchen,” Trill said. “I wanted to be as flexible and as accommodating to the families as possible, sort of like a weekly cooking session with you and your kids for eight weeks.” For research purposes, Trill only requires one child to participate from each family,

Chef Dan Hayes and health researcher David Trill is looking for families to sign up to learn about kids' nutrition while getting free cooking lessons from Hayes at the London Chef cooking school on Fort Street. but he encourages larger families to involve everyone in the process. The project is intended to promote, educate and celebrate good healthy food for children and their parents, as well as share sensible choices and strategies towards healthy eating. It is not intended to single out overweight kids or families with

unhealthy eating habits, he added. “This is a fantastic new avenue because it lets go of the school and gets them right at the home which is a potent dose – an intervention.” Contact Trill at dtrill@uvic.ca or 250-8533141 for more information. nnorth@saanichnews.com

A smoke alarm in every home Saanich FD offers free alarms for people in need The Saanich fire department has launched its first smoke alarm campaign, which aims to get a working smoke alarm in every house in the municipality. The Saanich fire department will conduct a free home inspection and replace the smoke alarm if necessary for any Saanich resident that is having trouble checking or replacing their smoke alarm, Smoke alarms alert people early in a fire and are especially

critical if a fire breaks out at night when people are sleeping, said Capt. Jerry Tomljenovic, Saanich’s public education officer. “We are finding in incidents of fires and incidents where people have perished in fires, more often than not there is no working smoke alarm in the house,” Tomljenovic said. “A working smoke alarm doubles your chance (of escaping a fire) and is the first line of physical protection.” The fire department recommends smoke alarms be replaced every 10 years, and that people check the batteries of smoke alarms every month or so, even if they are hard-

wired into the home. “Once they’re installed, people will say they’ll check every month, but it often falls by the wayside,” Tomljenovic said. As a memory aid, people can link checking their smoke alarms with changing their clocks for daylight time or standard time, he said. Saanich’s smoke alarm bylaw requires working smoke alarms in all dwellings, and new dwellings require hard-wired smoke alarms, as regulated under the B.C. Building Code. To have the Saanich fire department inspect the smoke alarms in your home, call 250475-5000. editor@saanichnews.com

Open burning ban extended in rural Saanich

Wednesday, October 17, 2012 - SAANICH

The Saanich fire department has extended the ban on burning until at least Oct. 29 due to unseasonably warm weather. “Even though we are forecast to have cooler temperatures and precipitation ... it is not expected to be significant enough to change the current fire danger rating indices,” Capt. Jerry Tomljenovic, Saanich’s pre-fire planning and public education officer, said in a release.

Tomljenovic said it is possible the burn ban could be extended past Oct. 29 if weather conditions are too dry, which could impact Halloween fireworks displays. People who want to shoot fireworks still need to take a mandatory safety workshop and obtain a permit from the fire department, although those permits won’t be valid if the burn ban remains in place.

NEWS

Fireworks workshops are scheduled for Oct. 17 and 22, 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.; and Oct. 24 and 28, 10 to 11 a.m., at the Saanich fire department, 760 Vernon Ave. Register by emailing fireprevention@ saanich.ca or call 250-475-5500. The workshop is necessary to apply for a fireworks permit for Oct. 31. See www.saanich.ca/services/safety/ prevention.html. editor@saanichnews.com

A blind runner has filed a human rights complaint against the Victoria International Running Society and the race director of the Times Colonist 10K, after having his request denied to start the run early to avoid race congestion. Graeme McCreath, a 65-yearold Saanich physiotherapist, filed the complaint against the VIRS and race director Jacqui Sanderson, under Section 8 of the Human Rights Code: Discrimination in accommodation, service and facility for the society’s alleged refusal to accommodate his disability by granting him an early race start time. A B.C. Human Rights Tribunal judge is hearing McCreath’s case this week in public hearing in Victoria, which is scheduled to last up to four days. McCreath, who has a prosthetic left eye and only light perception in the other, has, with the assistance of a guide, run six of the TC10K events, including from 2006 until 2010. McCreath argued that in 2011 he asked to start five minutes ahead of the gun with the wheelchair runners due to the crush of runners in his pace group, the congestion during the first two kilometres of the race and the safety hazards caused by those slowing or stopping in front of him. “My own agility has kept me

Blind runner Graeme McCreath has asked permission to start the TC10K race early, but organizers say changes to the run route have made it safer for him and his guide Carlos Castillo to run with his pace group. from injury and I’ve tested it too many times,” said McCreath, who noted that one of his guides once tripped over a runner stopped to tie their shoes. “It’s become a real risk.” McCreath ran the eight-kilometre road race at the GoodLife Victoria Marathon, a much smaller event compared to the TC10K by several thousand participants, without issue after starting five minutes early with wheelchair racers. Speaking on behalf of the Victoria International Running Society, lawyer David Mulroney said McCreath’s challenges around running amid the congestion of the first leg of the race should have been addressed by the route change made to the 2011 course, which McCreath did not participate in.

“He didn’t get what he was asking for and I understand why Mr. McCreath would be advancing a claim,” Mulroney said. “The VIRS would be happy to work out an accommodation with Mr. McCreath that would meet the safety needs of Mr. McCreath and other visually impaired runners, however the VIRS believes the safest place for Mr. McCreath is running with a guide in his pace group.” McCreath says he’s shocked by the society’s failure to honour his “minimal accommodation.” “I’ve been disrespected in so many ways,” McCreath said. “I feel like a pariah. Nobody seems to care.” The Human Rights Tribunal public hearing is scheduled to continue today. nnorth@saanichnews.com

Victoria lawyer sweeps to NDP nomination Roszan Holmen News staff

Political newcomer Murray Rankin said he was “running scared” during the race for the NDP’s nomination in the Victoria riding federal byelection. “I took nothing for granted” he said Monday, a day after winning a first-ballot vote amongst NDP members. All his “good old-fashioned” door knocking paid off, helping Rankin earn 352 votes at the nomination meeting at the University of Victoria. His total was well ahead of runner-up Elizabeth Cull (96 votes), Charley Beresford (51) and Ben Isitt (36).

Also last weekend, the Liberal Party named lone nominee Paul Summerville its candidate by acclamation. Speaking to supporters at St. Matthias Anglican Church Hall on Saturday, Summerville targeted a secondary sewage treatment facility as a plant “we don’t need and don’t want.” Summerville fingered the Harper Government for imposing sewage treatment. But Rankin, an environmental lawyer who has done work with the provincial NDP, pointed to the B.C. Liberal Party’s role in mandating the project. “Do people forget that?” he asked. While the NDP do not oppose sewage treatment, Rankin said

there are many pertinent issues facing Victoria voters, such as the recently approved luxury yacht marina in the Songhees. “Those who would try to turn this into a single-issue byelection, I think, really underestimate the sophistication of our electorate.” The date for the byelection has not been set. It was triggered by the resignation of MP Denise Savoie due to health reasons. Two weeks ago, the Green Party nominated Donald Galloway as its candidate in the race. The Victoria Conservative Association gathered Monday to confirm potential candidates and set a date for its nomination meeting.

OUR VIEW

Dedicate police patrol to Malahat E

mergency crews call it “NASCAR Corner,” where two northbound lanes on the Malahat Drive merge to one, and where a scene of carnage played out on Sunday just before noon. For reasons that aren’t yet clear, a southbound Honda SUV veered into the oncoming lane and collided head on with a pickup truck. Three Nanaimo women in the Honda died and five other people were injured. Malahat volunteer fire chief Rob Patterson called this the worst crash he’s seen – and he should know. He and his crew have bore witness as first responders to a number of fatal and largely preventable head-on collisions over the past few years. Under pressure from a growing death toll and a vocal campaign by safety activists in the Cowichan Valley, the provincial government has committed about $8 million to install 5.4 kilometres of concrete barriers in high-crash areas of the Malahat by the spring of next year. Barriers, as useful as they are to curb head-on collisions, are only part of the solution to creating a much safer mountain highway pass between the Capital Region and Cowichan. Geographical limits and high costs prevent substantially widening the roadway or building another route around the Malahat. The highway we have now is the road we’re stuck with for the foreseeable future. That leaves the solution of lining the road with barriers and ramping up law enforcement. Creating a dedicated Malahat police patrol was recommended by the Capital Regional District’s Integrated Road Safety Unit, which mounted a concentrated, daily campaign to crack down on speeders, and drunk and distracted drivers during the summer of 2011. So far, funding a permanent Malahat patrol is an expense the police and province aren’t willing to foot. Even if this latest crash wasn’t speed-related, it’s another reminder that the highway can be dangerous, and the transportation route can be severed in an instant, often for hours. With closures, fatalities and crashes, over the long run, the most cost-effective option is placing patrols on the Malahat full time.

Coons’ latest tack is that B.C. Ferries has lost its way, trying to be a fancy cruise ship service instead of giving people basic transportation at an affordable price. That would be terrible if it were true. But those amenities on newer vessels are there because they make money, utilizing staff who have to be on board anyway. As everyone but the NDP seems to grasp, the big costs are fuel, maintenance, and minimum crew levels to meet federal regulations, regardless of passenger revenue. I was reminded on the last busy weekend of the year that the new Coastal-class ferries kept vehicle capacity the same while increasing passenger space. This choice anticipated today’s travel reality nearly a decade ago. Good thing somebody was able to understand ferries as a business, as opposed to a welfare program for the reclusive and the rich. B.C. Ferries has already cut sailings on the Tsawwassen-Duke point route. As described in an earlier column, this needlessly long run is the biggest boondoggle in B.C. Ferries history, a Dave Barrett-era payoff to the union that continues today. Changes will now come to other routes that minimize shifts and overtime, rather than inflating them.

LETTERS Are irrelevant religious teachings causing a growing crisis of faith? Re: Crisis of faith wracks shrinking United Church (News, Oct. 10) The problem with most mainline churches, including the United, would seem to be the perception that so much of their teaching is irrelevant. Who, for example, in today’s economy is prepared to give away their wealth and take no thought for the future but simply depend on God who will look after them as he does the lilies of the field and the birds of the air? The poor and homeless in our society are not exactly admired for their status.

Chicken farm could set ALR precedent Re: Poultry farm proposed for Gordon Head (News, Sept. 26). The landowners are unhappy their land is not approved for removal from the Agricultural Land Reserve. After reading the article, it seems that installing a poultry farm is a means of punishment for council’s decision and a way of manipulating appalled neighbours into applying pressure to allow the housing development. If the applicant owners are successful as a result, and their land is developed, wouldn’t it be easy for the owners of the next parcel at the boundary to use the same method and so on? Surely, the surrounding neighbours would have taken into consideration, at the time they bought their houses, that if you buy property on the border of the ALR, you may end up with some kind of farm near your house.

Why should the wealthy be denied entry into the Kingdom of Heaven for no better reason than their fortunes are too large – especially if these have been amassed through hard work and intelligence?

To be sure, churches encourage and fund charitable endeavours, but who is to say social activism necessarily stems from belief in a supernatural being? Long before Christian missionaries

tree lives to fight another day (News, Oct. 12)” I am surprised at John Oberg’s continued obstruction of the tree’s removal. His own independent arborist even confirmed Saanich’s findings that the tree is dangerous and should be removed, yet he still insists on the tree staying put and was able to have Saanich agree to a third review of the tree’s health. He and his fellow residents even have the audacity to file an injunction to stop the removal. I hope Mr. Oberg is willing to pay for this extra study, any court costs involved with the injunction and the extra time the police, arborists and eventual tree cutting company have wasted on this ordeal. As a Saanich resident I don’t want one nickel of my tax dollars going towards prolonging this situation that will undoubtedly end in the tree’s removal. Brian Didier Saanich

imposed their creeds on indigenous people, native communities enjoyed a sense of unity and mutual caring. In our present lop-sided economy where a television personality can make more in a month than a nurse or teacher in a lifetime, the authoritarian voices of organized religion, be they in Rome, Canterbury or elsewhere, are strikingly muted. Need we wonder, then, why church pews are increasingly unfilled? Jim Skinner Saanich

argument against licensing cyclists, inferring that cyclists pay their fair share towards the cost of the roads they use by paying taxes like everyone else. He seems to forget that cyclists benefit from the large area of roadway devoted to them in the form of dedicated cycle lanes, which are maintained by the funds motorists and pedestrians pay via their taxes. The cyclists pay no more for the privilege of having these dedicated lanes maintained for themselves. For their own health and safety, and consideration for and protection of other road users and pedestrians, cyclists and their bicycles should be licensed, and they should carry insurance; third party, at least. By the way, I too pay my taxes, but I have no bicycle and do not drive a car. Peter Watkins Saanich

Bike insurance should Insured cyclists would cover cyclist crashes benefit all road users Re: Cyclists pay fair share Re: Cyclists pay fair share (Letters, Oct. 3) The letter-writer writes quite well and somewhat convincingly in his fallacious

(Letters, Oct. 3) The letter-writer claims that cyclists should not be required to have insurance and licenses because “it’s a

healthy enjoyable activity and should be encouraged.” Driving cars is an enjoyable activity for many of us, too. A lot of cyclists claim that biking is their primary transportation, so if motorists have to have insurance to cover accidents, property damage, and pedestrian injury, why shouldn’t cyclists be required to, as well? Many of them ride dangerously – we all see it very often, and that includes the spandex crowd. If a cyclist hits a car and damages it or hits a cyclist and injures the person, who pays for the costs? Probably not the cyclist. Sorry, cyclists should be as responsible as motorists in this regard. Larry Zilinsky Saanich

Continued Closure of Open Air Burning in Rural Saanich Due to the unseasonably dry weather conditions, all open air burning in rural Saanich areas will remain closed until at least October 29, 2012, at which time it will be reassessed based on current conditions. A complete burning ban is in effect within the URBAN containment boundary. Jerry Tomljenovic, Captain PreFire Planning and Public Education states: “Even though we are forecast to have cooler temperatures and precipitation this weekend, it is not expected to be significant enough to change the current fire danger rating indices. This ban has been put in place as a preventative measure to reduce the likelihood of grass or brush fires.” The Saanich Fire Prevention Division will continue to monitor weather and ground conditions and issue a subsequent media release when the ban is lifted. We would like to thank all residents for their ongoing co-operation.

How about a beer with that popcorn? Roszan Holmen News staff

Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the veil of darkness that leaves people leery. Whatever the reason, the possibility of selling alcohol at Victoria movie theatres doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sit as easily as it does with sports arenas such as the Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre. In B.C., movie house owners won the right to apply for liquor licences in April, after a high-profile and contentious public consultation. But while the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerns have been eased by a set of restrictions, the untested idea still provokes fear at the local government level. This provincial issue has landed here for the first time, as the Roxy Theatre seeks the nod from Victoria city council. 3

In 2010, the little theatre in Quadra Village made headlines when owner Michael Sharpe tried â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and failed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to sell the property with development potential. Fans were quick to defend their 63-yearold â&#x20AC;&#x153;irreplaceable landmark,â&#x20AC;? and reporters waxed eloquent about the value of these disappearing icons. Even back then, before it was legal, Victorians mused about the possibility of selling booze as a way to reinvigorate small theatres facing hard times. Most independents canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to make the transition to digital technology, said Donovan Aikman, programmer for the Victoria Film Festival, which salvaged the Vic Theatre after it closed in 2008. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Digital projectors are not a small investment â&#x20AC;Ś (and) there is a lot less film product that can come into a theatre on 35 millimetre,â&#x20AC;? he said. Liquor sales could prove another way forward for small theatres. But is it a good idea? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Time will tell,â&#x20AC;? said Aikman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me as a patron, it sounds like a nice idea.â&#x20AC;? 3

This is the decision facing Victoria city council, whose input influences the evaluation of the application by the province. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know the owner and respect the owner,â&#x20AC;? said Mayor Dean Fortin at a recent governance and priorities committee meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m worried a bit about late-night movies and alcohol and only 19 and over (permitted). That really has the potential in the wrong ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands to be a community nightmare.â&#x20AC;? Council was also left with many questions about the business model. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like to understand how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been vetted in Vancouver,â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Chris Coleman, referring to the Rio Theatre, which is now licensed to serve alcohol during movie screenings. At staffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendation, council voted to move the application to public hearing, but with one tweak: liquor service should end at 11 p.m. rather than the proposed last call of 1 a.m. on weekends and midnight on weekdays. rholmen@vicnews.com

Malahat crash Sunday claims three Peter Rusland Black Press

Three woman are dead, and five people are reported injured, after what could be the Malahat’s worst traffic crash. Rob Patterson, chief of Malahat’s Volunteer Fire Hall, said the tragedy happened at about 11:30 a.m. Sunday during a two-vehicle cross-over crash along a non-median section of Malahat Drive near Whittaker Road.

“It’s the worst (fatality) I’ve ever attended,” said Patterson. He and his crew awaited the coroner to confirm the three deaths before two bodies were removed from a totalled Honda SUV that had been headed southbound. The third body is also that of a Honda passenger ejected when the SUV crossed the centre line and struck a northbound Chev pickup truck containing three people, Patterson said.

Identities of all eight people — including five from the Honda — had not been released by press time. An injured girl from the Honda, plus a pick-up truck passenger, were airlifted by medivac helicopter to a Victoria hospital. A male ejected from the Honda was taken by ambulance to Victoria hospital, Patterson

explained of the wreck at what he called “Nascar Corner” – near where Whittaker, leading to the Aerie luxury resort, reaches the highway. “The Chevy driver put his truck in the ditch to avoid the oncoming (Honda) vehicle, but was unsuccessful,” Patterson said. “The Honda SUV four-door

was torn in half when it crossed the line and hit the truck.” First responders – including the lead Malahat hall and back-up crews from Mill Bay – plus police and paramedics attended the tragedy that closed the busy highway for six hours. “Most people have never seen anything like this,” the veteran chief said after dealing with Sunday’s carnage. editor@saanichnews.com Investigators were analyzing

Medical clinic pays it forward

Smell gas? Get out, then call: FortisBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 24-hour Emergency Line at 1-800-663-9911, or 911.

Program helps fund treatment for those who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford it

Natural gas is used safely in homes across B.C. every day. FortisBC adds an odourant that smells like rotten eggs or sulphur. If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a leak, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll smell it.

A recently launched pay-it-forward program opens modern pain relief and brain balancing programs up to those who would find the cost too expensive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re helping people in a place where a husband might be at home whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been out of work for three years because of depression. They canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford it. And theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the ones that need it,â&#x20AC;? said Stephen Davis of Valentus Medical Technologies in Oak Bay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We decided that we need to focus on building the clinic to help people who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help themselves.â&#x20AC;?

Everything we do is non-invasive,â&#x20AC;? Davis said. The pay-it-forward program is funded through Valentus clients and benefactors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We take five per cent of what we do and put it in a fund in the form of credits,â&#x20AC;? Davis said. Country Grocer helps out by placing flyers in grocery bags that explain the program to their customers and encouraging them to donate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not a charity, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to give any tax receipts. But sometimes we just need to do something good for the sake of doing something good â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get financial benefit from somewhere else,â&#x20AC;? Davis said. Visit valentusmedicaltechnologies. com for details.

Slyvia Bews-Wright is displaying her work in the Metchson Art Gallery’s Monsters show. Mitchell will display 37 paintings of “perpetrators, enablers and victims,” he said. “I am showing this to be interesting to other people, I want them to come here and think.” It was coincidence that Bews-Wright was working on a series of paintings that would work well with Mitchell’s art.

“All of my paintings were all based on leaders of the countries who committed genocide and killed their own people,” BewsWright said. “Some of them are still in power.” Her series is titled Ozymandias, after the poem by Percy Shelley. Bews-Wright became interested in these

Being angry with former U.S. President George Bush got Frank Mitchell’s brush moving. As he got angry with the Bush administration and other leaders, the more paintings came out. “Gradually I had a whole set of people,” said the Metchosin painter. Mitchell teamed up with Saanich painter Sylvia Bews-Wright for the show Monsters at the Metchosin Art Gallery, which runs until Oct. 28. Both work in acrylic paints. Mitchell’s series of paintings is titled Axis of Evil, the name taken from Bush’s state of the union address in 2002. “This comes from me being angry and frustrated at the stupid and misguided behaviour of our southern neighbour. They are trying to solve all the problems by shooting people up,” Mitchell said.

leaders during her travels along the “Silk Road” and Southeast Asia. While in Cambodia, Bews-Wright travelled through a killing field. “It was the most awful place I have ever been. You see puddles (shallow graves) with fragments of bones and clothing. There were skulls preserved in a glass column several hundred feet high,” she said. Fifteen of BewsWright’s paintings are on display and include images of Adolf Hitler, Mao Zedong and Idi Amin. After painting all of these “monsters,” BewWright said she felt, “elated and cleansed.” For Mitchell it wasn’t that simple. “I am still frustrated at the nonsense that goes on,” he said. “It takes a village to raise a child. It takes more than one person to do terrible things.” The Metchosin Art Gallery is at 4495 Happy Valley Rd., open from noon to 5 p.m., Thursday to Sunday.

FLYER

When reading, you should be seated at a desk or in a comfortable chair, not lying on your stomach or on your side. Your back should have a normal curve and not be scrunched or propped up with one arm. If used for a long time the horizontal reading position can seem normal, even though it causes eyestrain. The visual system gets used to a distorted perspective, but the muscles which coordinate the eyes have to work hard to prevent double vision. Once you decide to be in a comfortable chair, you need to consider what kind it will be. It should permit the feet to be ﬂat on the ﬂoor. If the feet do not reach, try a phone book under them. The lower back should be supported, and the desk or table should be at waist level when the person is seated. Working at a surface that is too high gives a similar distortion to viewing a movie from the front row, far side. You know how uncomfortable that can be, not only on your neck but on your eyes as well. A rule of thumb is that the reading distance should be no shorter than the length of your forearm. Be good to your eyes, they are the only two you will ever have.

Farquhar role gives Case new challenges Former Intrepid GM enjoying director gig at UVic auditorium

Ian Case, photographed here on a downtown Victoria roof in 2004, says he is excited about his new role as director of the University of Victoria’s Farquhar Auditorium. Black Press file photo

Tim Collins News staff

In April 2012, the University of Victoria’s Farquhar Auditorium brought on Ian Case as its director. A better choice could not have been made. Case comes with an impressive list of accomplishments and a reputation for imagination and excellence. For 10 years he was the driving force behind Intrepid Theatre and the Victoria Fringe Festival, having built the latter to where it is now the Island’s largest theatrical event. During his tenure with Intrepid he worked tirelessly, dedicating his expertise, energy and enthusiasm to a monumental capital campaign that resulted in the theatre’s first dedicated spaces at the Intrepid Theatre Club and the Metro Studio. Those small theatre spaces have now become central to independent theatre and dance in Victoria. Case was also responsible for Uno Fest, Intrepid’s solo performance festival. Now in its 15th year, Uno Fest thrived under Case’s direction, growing into the longest-running festival of its kind in Canada.

Still, for all of his success with Intrepid, the new challenges offered at the Farquhar Auditorium have Case excited about his new role. “UVic is a different world, and a much larger organization,” Case said. “There are 17,000 students here and working with that community is a challenge, but so is the job of working with the larger community. The auditorium is as much the general public’s as it is the University’s.” Case says he will be encouraging other community organizations to make use of the space and will also be exploring the possibility of bringing in a greater number of commercial presentations. “I’d like to see more of that,” he said. “But we have to bal-

ance that against the many needs of the University for the same space.” Case’s initial productions at the Farquhar Auditorium have already been met with rave reviews. The Access Theatre Company recently presented The Number 14, a physical comedy that was described as part Mr. Bean, part Monty Python, and wholly entertaining. In November, Case is staging The International Guitar Night, bringing together some of the world’s greatest acoustic guitarists in a public concert setting. But the busyness of the new gig doesn’t mean Case doesn’t miss Intrepid Theatre work. “The Intrepid is a jewel and the people there are wonderful,” he said. “But you have to balance your work with your family and I was losing time with them.” Case said that he will not miss the difficult, stressful and time-consuming parts of his role at Intrepid that focussed more on funding as opposed to theatre. “There is never enough funding at the

B.C. Arts Council and during that period of 2009 to this year when the gaming funding disappeared, it meant that we had to make a lot of difficult decisions.” He said that the funding is back now, but it left a “three-year hole” in the development of talent in administration and performance art. Not having to chase funding is allowing Case to focus on the Farquhar Auditorium’s programs, as well as giving him the time and energy to stay involved with other non-profit theatre projects with which he’s become associated. “I still have Giggling Iguana Productions; we’re doing Dracula at Craigdarroch Castle until Halloween. I’ll also be working with [the] Victoria Shakespeare Society in the coming year and I’d like to stay involved with the William Head Players.” The latter group hosts productions out of the federal prison in Metchosin. Case’s primary focus, however, is now the University of Victoria. “I’m really excited to be here,” he said. “It’s already given a chance to try some new concepts and it’s only the beginning. I’ll be developing partnerships with the community, trying new ideas and giving this position my all.” Information on the Farquhar Auditorium and upcoming events can be found at auditorium.uvic.ca. reporter@vicnews.com

A different onstage experience A unique performance that combines music with dance, opera and the spoken word is coming to Victoria. It’s called A Man Laments, and the creator of the show, Diane Kelly, describes it as “an emotional musical drama,” although she says that it might just as easily be classed as a pocket opera. The production features well-known composer and pianist Lubomyr Melnyk, who composed the music for the show. The production also embraces the operatic voices of Kelly and Gary Rowbotham, while Royal Johnston appears in an acting role and Mellta Swift contributes the dance sequences. “It’s a production in many

formats that defies a traditional classification,” Melnyk said of the show. “One might call it a mini opera but that wouldn’t be exactly accurate either. It’s really a new type of experience.” The story is a “work of conscience,” he added. “It involves one man turning away from war and murder.” The show is scheduled to take the stage at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 18 and 19 at the Winchester Galleries at 758 Humboldt St. Admission is by donation and space is limited. More information on the show is available from the gallery by calling Peter Redpath at 250-386-2773, or contacting him by email at peter@ winchestergalleriesltd.com. reporter@vicnews.com

Man dies after assault in Colwood pub Greg Brotherston could face charges related to death Charla Huber News staff

Richard Green lost his life trying to help a woman during a domestic assault. The 57-year-old Colwood man was allegedly punched outside of the Country Rose Pub in Colwood, Oct. 8 around 8:30 p.m. The Good Samaritan was unconscious after the blow and taken to hospital. He underwent emergency surgery on Oct. 9 and was put into an induced coma. He was taken off life support and passed away early Monday morning, Oct. 15. Highlands resident Greg Brotherston is charged with aggravated assault. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The current charges remain in effect,â&#x20AC;? said Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz of West Shore RCMP. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The charges he is facing may change.â&#x20AC;? Brotherston fled the scene of the attack and was arrested the following day without incident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the light of Mr. Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tragic passing it is not the appropriate time to talk about my client,â&#x20AC;? said Richard Neary, Brotherstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know the (Brotherston) family very well ... the family feels great sorrow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (express their) deepest condolences to Mr. Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family and friends.â&#x20AC;? As for Brotherstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charges Neary said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too early ... all of the Brotherstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thoughts are with Mr. Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family. In the coming days Mr. Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family should be able to mourn the loss.â&#x20AC;? Brotherston remains in custody and appeared in court Oct. 15. Judge Josiah Wood placed two no-contact orders on Brotherston, one for a female and one for a male. It is unknown at this time what the connection is between the charges and the two individuals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This means no contact whatsoever, no text messages, cell phones, do you understand?â&#x20AC;? asked Wood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes I do,â&#x20AC;? replied Brotherston sitting in the courtroom prisoner box wearing a green T-shirt with slight stubble on his face. Brotherstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next court appearance is scheduled for Oct. 29 via video. The Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crimes Unit is now leading the investigation In a high-profile trial two years ago, Greg Brotherston, his brother Ken Jr. and father Ken Sr., a former Highlands councillor, were acquitted of

second degree murder in January 2010 stemming from a violent altercation with a drug dealer at a house in Colwood. The three successfully argued the death was a result of self defence. The trial revealed Greg Brotherston had struggled with a long history of drug abuse. He has had other run-ins with the law, including being found guilty of assault causing bodily harm in 2006 and guilty Greg Brotherston of identity fraud in 2008.

Feds green-light new Songhees marina Roszan Holmen News staff

With the last outstanding permit finally in hand, developers of a controversial luxury yacht marina hope to start construction near Lime Bay in Victoria Harbour by early next summer. On Oct. 11, Transport Canada issued an approval under the federal Navigable Waters Protection Act to proponent WAM Development Group. The only hurdle remaining is an interior building permit from the City of Victoria. “It should be straightforward,” project lead Larry Halgren said. He expects construction to take 10 to 12 months. The federal permit is bad news for a number of interest groups who have opposed the project. They include the Vic West Community Association, kayak-

ing groups and others who have argued the marina will block views, restrict water access for boaters and present a safety hazard to an already congested harbour. In 2010, the City of Victoria addressed some of those concerns by imposing a compromise: it down-zoned the provincially owned water lot between Paul Kane Place and Cooperage Place in the Songhees neighbourhood, effectively cutting the proposed marina in half. The new plan includes 29 slips for yachts ranging from 20 to 33.5 metres in length and one for a vessel up to 46 metres. It also calls for two commercial buildings to jut out from the Westsong Walkway, with possible space for a coffee shop and restaurant. There will also be a channel for rowers and paddlers running along the walled shoreline. Still uncertain is whether the marina

1912 - 2012

Join us in celebrating our 100th Anniversary 19-21 Oct 2012 in Victoria The Canadian Scottish Regiment (Princess Mary’s) whose roots are from the 88th Regiment (Victoria Fusiliers) and the 50th Regiment (Gordon’s) both established in Victoria BC on September 3, 1912 and August 15, 1913 respectively is celebrating its 100th year of service to the communities on Vancouver Island and Canada.

The Public are invited to attend the following events: Sunday, October 21 at 11:00 AM at Christ Church Cathedral where members of the Regimental Family will participate at a Church Service and followed at Noon by a Memorial service at Pioneer Square (beside Christ Church Cathedral). Sunday, October 21 at 12:45 PM at Royal Athletic Park, 1014 Caledonia Ave, where Honourable Steven Point, Lieutenant Govenor of BC will review The Canadian Scottish Regiment (Princess Mary’s) at a formal military parade.

will include a public dock for kayakers. The amenity was included in the original plan, but WAM has not committed to incorporating the dock into the smaller marina. Slips will be available for purchase, rather than for rent. “You purchase a slip, which is a longterm lease and it’s good for 44 years,” Halgren said. “We haven’t established the prices yet.” Once the company determines its construction costs for the marina – currently estimated at somewhat less than $20 million – the prices will be set, he said. The marina must conform to several safety parameters set by Transport Canada as a condition of its navigable waters permit. They include increased harbour patrols and the provision of rescue equipment along the paddling route.

HarbourCats will claw way into 2013 West Coast League Travis Paterson News staff

ictoria’s newest sports franchise looks to land on its feet in 2013 as the HarbourCats. The name and logo of the amateur status West Coast League baseball team, which uses top NCAA and collegiate level players during a short summer schedule, was introduced on Friday (Oct. 12), to much anticipation since the club was officially announced in June. “We feel the name fits the geography of the region, a nod to the importance and beauty of Victoria’s Inner Harbour and, with other team names in the West Coast League,” said general manager Holly Jones. The colour scheme is dark navy blue text with the cat and its fangs in “deep aqua blue,” A matching V logo, for Victoria, will be featured as the team’s secondary graphic. So where does HarbourCats stack up with Victoria’s nicknames of old? It doesn’t. Lacrosse’s Shamrocks and hockey’s Cougars, currently in use, date back to the 1950s and prior. New

Victoria HarbourCats

The new Victoria HarbourCats baseball team name and logo, as announced Oct. 12. club names such as hockey’s Victoria Royals (2011) and Grizzlies (2006), and soccer’s Victoria Highlanders (2008), are also cut from the traditional mold. HarbourCats stands apart, using a modern trend known as CamelCase, says Toronto-based design analyst Chris Creamer. “The popular term for this type of font (HarbourCats) is CamelCase, as the word mimics the humps on a camel’s back,” says the self-made sports logo expert and proprietor of sportslogos.net. It was Creamer who was the first to discover and post the Royals WHL logo on his website in 2011, days before it was officially released.

Creamer pointed out that picking a team name with CamelCase is saying to the public “this is a minor league team with minor league branding and we’re not going to bother trying to hide it.” However, as Jones has pointed out, the HarbourCats are the WCL’s third team with such a name, joining the Wenatchee AppleSox and Kitsap BlueJackets. There are a dozen more minor league teams from across North America to use the CamelCase style in their name in the past three years. But nobody is mistaking Royal Athletic Park, the HarbourCats’ home, as a big league venue. “We wanted a team name and

logo that accomplished a number of things,” said owner John McLean. “It needed to be bold and edgy, while looking sharp on uniforms, merchandise, the web, advertising and social media.” HarbourCats was one of the over 600 submissions received by the team from the name-the-team contest, in which the initial 250 name suggestions, plus another five randomly drawn names, were awarded a pair of tickets to a 2013 home game. The name of the submitter has not been revealed as it was not a grand prize, winner takes all contest. “We felt this was the most appropriate submission, and one that worked well on all fronts,” said Jones. The WCL is a wood bat summer league populated with collegiate level players from across North America. Medford, Ore. (yet to be named) also joins the WCL, which expands to 11 teams for 2013. The inaugural HarbourCats season begins the first week of June 2013 and runs through mid-August, with 27 home games at RAP and 27 away games. Next is the design of the team uniforms, hats and the team mascot. sports@vicnews.com

Extra effort puts Grizzlies into first place Fitzgerald brothers rise to opposition Travis Paterson News staff

Overtime can be a beautiful thing in hockey, especially when the home team wins. And especially because it clears the ice for the Fitzgerald triplets to take advantage of the extra ice made available with four skaters aside in the first over time and three aside in the second overtime. And they did just that, with Myles Powell scoring in the first OT on Sunday (from Gerry Fitzgerald) to edge the visiting Alberni Bulldogs 3-2, and Myles Fitzgerald scoring in double OT on Friday to burn the Penticton Vees. “We learned a valuable lesson (on the weekend), how good teams are and how hard you have to work to be successful,” head coach Bill Bestwick said. Powell’s goal capped the Grizzlies’ shining weekend of hockey. Beating the Bulldogs (7-5-2) puts the Grizzlies (8-4-1) into first in the Island division, one point up on the Bulldogs. Beating the leagueleading and reigning national champion Vees (10-2-1) reestablishes the Grizz among the BCHL best, and erases the three-game losing streak to Nanaimo, Coquitlam and Powell

River. “Penticton was probably the best junior-A a game I’d seen in two years,” Bestwick said. “Alberni played a perfect road game; I tip my cap to them how good they played. I’m going to tell their coach what a great game they played and I hope he accepts it as a respectful thing.” The wins are also proof positive that the diminutive Fitzgerald triplets have arrived as a top line in the BCHL, able to carry a team against the league’s best. On Friday Myles Powell and Blake Thompson put the Grizz up 2-1 before Wade Murphy, a Saanich native, tied it for the Vees. The score remained 2-2 until Myles Fitzgerald scored an unassisted goal during the three-on-three, double overtime. Then on Sunday it was Gerry Fitzgerald carrying the sweet stick. Gerry earned the first assist on all three Grizzlies goals as his team mounted a third period comeback and overcame the the Bulldogs’ 2-0 lead. He set up a Myles for a wrist shot goal three minutes in, drew a defender to the corner and slid it to the net for a Leo Fitzgerald tap-in at 14 minutes. In overtime Gerry drew a defender to the left corner and fired a perfect pass to Powell, who was barreling towards the net unchecked, and buried it under the diving body of goalie Brad

SPORTS NEWS IN BRIEF Vic half marathon fastest in B.C. When combined, the results from the GoodLife Fitness Victoria half marathon make it the most competitive half marathon in B.C. B.C. Athletics approved the ranking based on the times of the top 20 men and women from the Victoria half marathon on Oct. 7. Natasha Fraser of Port Moody set the women’s course record in the half marathon, breaking her own 2011 record, with a time of one hour, 14 minutes and six seconds.

Westshore Rebels mainland bound The V.I. Raiders throttled the Westshore Rebels 57-7 in Nanaimo on Saturday to end the B.C. junior Football Conference regular season. With the win the Raiders remain undefeated for the second straight year, and finish atop the league standings. They’ll host the Okanagan Sun in a semifinal playoff game. The Rebels will play the Langley Rams in the other semifinal, Saturday (Oct. 20) in Langley. Rebels running back Greg Morris was held to 56 yards rushed, and was held back from the 122 yards he needed to set the BCFC season rushing record. Raiders quarterback Jordan Yantz threw 14 passes for 226 yards and five touchdowns.

Reblagliati. “In the first and second we had a lot of chances we didn’t bury and we were frustrated,” Gerry said. Hidden from the announced Sunday crowd of 936 was some secondperiod negativity on the bench, but the frustrations were displayed for all when Turner Lawson was sent off for a blow to the head, which

came amid skirmish which surely would have been a line brawl 10 years ago. “We were the beneficiary of the scheduling with Alberni playing (their third game in three days),” Bestwick said. “But Penticton came in here the day before and there was no benefits or disadvantages to either team.”

The junior B hockey Victoria Cougars have yet to lose in regulation through 13 games. Thursday the Westshore Wolves visit, 7 p.m. at Archie Browning Sports Centre. The Cougars won back-to-back wins over the Kerry Park Islanders this past weekend. The Wolves shutout the Saanich Braves 3-0 and have won their last four road games.

Rugby in the rain nothing new Canada, Argentina to meet Saturday Travis Paterson News staff

If the Americas Rugby Championship is going to benefit one country more than the other three, it’s Canada. The hosts defeated Uruguay, 28-10 on Friday, Day 1 of the three-game ARC tournament. Tournament favourites Argentina outclassed the Americans 39-3 under the pouring rain of the first game of the Friday double-header at Westhills Stadium in Langford. For Canada, which remained 13th in the International Rugby Board rankings on Monday, the tournament schedule presents a steady climb in terms of opposition. Uruguay is ranked 21st, while Tuesday’s (Oct. 16) opponent, U.S.A., is ranked 17th, and Argentina, who Canada will face on Saturday, is ranked eighth. “I’m happy with Friday’s result. A win is good but there is lots to work on,” said Kieran Crowley, head coach of Canada’s senior men’s program. “We couldn’t build any momentum. In the first half we kicked away too much ball and we didn’t build a lot of pressure,” said the former New Zealand All Black. “Then in the second half we played 20 minutes down a man (due to separate 10 minute sin bins to centre Nick Blevins and No. 8 Tyler Ardron).” Down 3-0 early, Ardron, the captain, gave Canada a boost with an interception and 50-yard run back for a try. For-

ward Patrick Parfrey scored another try minutes later and by the 10-minute mark Connor Braid had hit a penalty conversion to make it 12-3. The Canadians never looked back, despite a punch-up and the subsequent sin bins. “We were pretty fired up playing at home,” Braid said. “It’s pretty cool having all the friends and family here,” said the 22-year-old, a James Bay Athletic Association member and a 2008 Oak Bay High graduate. “I was a little nervous before the game. You don’t want to let anybody down, but we played a pretty decent game and good start to the tournament.” The Canadian roster is built with just a few veterans from past international squads, with injured scrum half Sean White, 24, another James Bay player and Oak Bay grad, one of two RWC 2011 veterans, along with prop Hubert Buydens of the Castaway Wanderers. White is day-to-day with a fractured bone in his thumb, something he should be able to play with against U.S.A. on Tuesday (results of which were past press time) and Argentina on Saturday. But it’s also the type of injury that could be made worse, said Crowley. “The thumb is something he suffered during training. We don’t want to compromise White for the upcoming November test tour, so we’ll see what the doctors say.” Kyle Armstrong, an Ontario player and former member of Oak Bay’s Castaway Wanderers, played just fine at

ARC final day Saturday at Westhills Stadium: U.S.A. vs. Uruguay, 5:30 p.m. Canada vs. Argentina, 7:30 p.m.

scrum half but three internationals in eight days is a lot of high-impact rugby. Quite a few changes will be made for Tuesday, with a lot of young players ready to debut. Crowley’s use of the team is to build towards the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England. Weather wise, the Westhills Stadium turf held up well under Friday’s downpours, a test for one of the few artificial playing surfaces approved by IRB. The rain didn’t stop Braid from hitting three penalties and two try conversions. He estimated his longest kick, from near centre, at about 45 yards. After the match Braid stood at the sidelines signing autographs. His soaking wet arms covered not in dirt, but with smudges of the black rubber beads that lay below the green turf. “We play in rain five months of the year, so that’s no different, but obviously the ball won’t kick as far. The nice thing is it’s not muddy.” B.C. Rugby Union men’s results from Saturday (Oct. 13): Meraloma RC defeated the Castaway Wanderers 20-13; UBC Old Boy Ravens defeated James Bay 22-18; Bayside defeated UVic Vikes 24-22. Women’s results: UBC defeated UVic Vikes 10-5. sports@vicnews.com

Hawks runner burns Rams Receiver Brian Dowds caught two touchdown passes and running back Mason Swift rushed for 113 yards and two touchdowns but it wasn’t enough as the Mount Douglas Rams fell 52-49 to the W.J. Mouat Hawks on Saturday. The star of the day was Hawks’ running back Maleek Irons, who finished with a mind-boggling 491 rushing yards on 48 carries. “Hats off to Mouat – they played a whale of a football game,” Rams coach Mark Townsend said. “And Maleek Irons, boy, is he ever the real deal.” The Rams final home game is Friday at Royal Athletic Park, against West Vancouver, 1 p.m. juniors and 3:30 p.m. seniors.

Belmont Bulldogs edge Holy Cross The Belmont Bulldogs secured their first win of the season, 21-15 over the Holy Cross Crusaders at Belmont on Saturday. Running backs Jordan Worth and Sam Varao each broke the 100-yard mark and combined for three touchdowns. The Bulldogs (1-2) travel to Richmond to face the Hugh Boyd Trojans on Friday. sports@vicnews.com

An antiquated pipe system in the municipality of Oak Bay may result in residents paying the largest share of the cost of the new sewage treatment facility slated for completion in 2018. The Capital Region Distict’s sewage treatment project calls for a wastewater plant at Esquimalt’s McLoughlin Point, where biosolids would be extracted and pumped 18 kilometres to a proposed site at Hartland Landfill in Saanich. The material would then be dried in a biosolids energy centre and placed in cement kilns, which in turn would be housed at Cadboro Bay. The total proj-

ect cost is estimated at $782.7 million with two-thirds of the funding coming from the provincial and federal governments. The CRD however, needs to contribute $281 million – approximately one third of the total cost – to the project. If a proposal before the CRD is approved, those costs would be divided on a formula that is based on usage (flow levels) projected to 2030. Based on those flow levels, Oak Bay would pay the highest amount of any municipality – an estimated $391 per year, per household. But the flow levels may not be a true reflection of the sewage wastewater generated by the municipality. “In the Uplands area we have a single pipe system in which storm water is routed to the same line that carries waste water,” said Dave Marshall, director of engineering services for Oak Bay. “That obviously increases the flow levels for the municipality.”

But the problem extends to other parts of the system as well. Even in those parts of the municipality where a two-line system exists, there is still the problem of storm water seeping into older wastewater lines. “It’s a matter of inflow and infiltration,” said Marshall. “But seepage into lines isn’t unique to Oak Bay, it’s a problem wherever older sewer lines are in place.” All municipalities, including Oak Bay, are currently reviewing their systems in an effort to bring them in line with the CRD’s wastewater management plan. That may require a twinning of the Uplands pipes and an upgrade of other lines but a final decision on the matter has not been formally adopted. Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen said that the municipal council is well aware of the situation and has wrestled with some options for minimizing the flow of storm water into the sewage lines. “It’s obvious that we need to work quickly to address the

storm water issue and to upgrade our systems generally. I’d like to see the greater use of rain gardens or other systems that move storm water to the ocean, but right now we’re looking at a plan that employs more traditional methods.” Until the work is done, Oak Bay residents will be paying a higher share of both the capital costs and the annual operating costs of the sewage treatment system. And it’s not about the number of homes in the area. Although Uplands is home to less than seven per cent of the total number of residences in Oak Bay, about 20 per cent of the municipality’s surface area is drained into the Upland’s sewage lines.

The entire Wastewater Treatment Plan has garnered criticism from a number of quarters, most notably the Association for Responsible and Environmentally Sustainable Sewage Treatment, a group of marine scientists, public health officers and others. They claim that the project is politically and not environmentally motivated, and that the current system, in which screened sewage is pumped into the Strait of Juan de Fuca, is both safe and effective. The funding split was approved at the Oct.10 meeting of the Liquid Waste Management Committee and will go to the CRD board for approval.
