Unsolved Buziak murder hits 5-year mark
Swan Lake Christmas Hill Nature Sanctuary executive director, Barry Janyk, outside a home that was previously owned and rented by Saanich. The municipality regularly purchases houses as part of long-term planning for future roads or parks. The Ralph Street home was recently gifted to the nature sanctuary, after many years of being rented out by Saanich.

Jeff Buziak doesn’t look at Feb. 2 as an anniversary. “I look at it as the murder day, five years hence,” he says, referring to tomorrow marking five years since his 24-year-old daughter Lindsay was found stabbed to death in a Saanich home. Lindsay Buziak was a happy girl with a huge smile. She loved her friends and she loved her family. This is how Jeff forever remembers his daughter. “There’s a high level of sadness, and a deep resolve to carry on. I miss my girl,” he says. Lindsay’s murder remains unsolved. The young real estate agent was found dead in a home she was showing at 1702 De Sousa Pl. in Gordon Head. Saanich police say Buziak was targeted and, in her position as a real estate agent, was lured to the empty luxury home where the murder took place. On Saturday, Jeff will hold the third annual Lindsay Buziak Walk for Justice. The walk begins at 10 a.m at Royal Oak Burial Park, where Lindsay’s ashes are kept, and participants will convoy past the De Sousa Place home, and finish at the Saanich municipal complex on Vernon Avenue. “It’s not a protest, it’s just a quiet walk,” Jeff says.

Saanich as your landlord Kyle Slavin Reporting
Most Saanich residents only contact municipal hall when it’s time to pay property taxes or the family dog needs licensing. There are a handful of Saanichites, however, who call the municipality when the refrigerator is on the fritz. Saanich currently owns and rents out 13 houses around the municipality. These homes – which will eventually be torn down – are on properties that Saanich purchased in recent years with the intent to eventually use the land as part of a larger park or road-widening project. “We’ve been doing this for as long as I can remember,” said Mayor Frank Leonard. “It’s based on a willing buyer, willing seller policy. When we identify several homes that we would like to convert to either park or road, we don’t go down the street and simply force the purchase. We approach the homeowners and say ‘If and when you’d like to sell, we’d like to be the first in line.’ “Some people say ‘sure,’ and some people say, ‘go away,’ and we wait for it to go on the market. As a result you end up with a patchwork. We wait to complete all acquisitions until we make a conversion to park or
roadway, so in the meantime we rent the houses out.” Richard Butler, who works in Saanich’s lands department, fields all the calls from tenants of the municipality when and if there’s an issue. He’s also the one who posts to UsedVictoria advertising the homes for rent at market rate. Leonard points to Rutledge Park, and McKenzie Avenue between Blenkinsop and Borden as sites where the municipality successfully acquired the homes needed to complete a park or road project. “We’re not doing as much of the purchasing now. The Shelbourne Valley Action Plan could lead to that sort of approach, potentially,” he said. “It’s a fairly narrow right of way there, right now. The plans could suggest we need more roadway, so we could do there what we did along McKenzie.” Coun. Vicki Sanders points to Gorge Road as proof of Saanich’s foresight when acquiring land as part of a longterm vision. PLEASE SEE: Saanich rent money, Page A19

‘The epitome of Reynolds’ Well-respected school principal Alana Charlton retires filled with a heart of gratitude
‘H
OW LUCKY I AM TO HAVE SOMETHING that makes saying goodbye so hard.” With these words, Alana Charlton can’t help but cry in front of a gymnasium full of people. And she’s not alone in shedding tears. A career in education spanning 45 years comes to an end – more or less – on this bittersweet moment. For eight years, Reynolds secondary has been Charlton’s second home. That’s why when she shares the accomplishments of her students and her colleagues, she refers to them as her Reynolds family. “She just loves her school. She is the school. She is the epitome of Reynolds,” says Evan Fryer, a 2010 graduate. To say the ethos of Reynolds is a reflection of Charlton’s essence is utterly exact. As principal since 2005, she’s played the integral role of inspiring the Reynolds family – a Kyle Slavin mass of students, staff Reporting and alumni – to live and breathe the “3 Rs” mantra: respect, responsibility and relationships. And on a January afternoon in the school gym, the family gathered one last time to show Charlton that the 3 Rs she’s so strongly exemplified as a proud “mama bear” are part and parcel to being a member of this unique community. “She’s done so much for the school and for so many individuals here. We wanted to take that opportunity to make sure she felt appreciated and valued, and that she knows we’ll miss her,” says Carrie Schlappner, an English and social studies teacher at Reynolds. “She’s such an inspirational person because she really practises what she preaches. At the forefront of her vision is improving student learning.” Charlton, who began her career in West Vancouver in 1968, says since Day 1 working in public education she’s sought ways to collaborate with staff and students to affect positive change. “When you enable and empower teachers to bring out the best in themselves as leaders and mentors of kids, then they, in turn, do that with

Reynolds secondary principal Alana Charlton retires after a public education career that spanned 45 years. kids,” she says. “And what I know about kids is that you empower them, enable them to be leaders, you give them some skills and opportunity, and they just soar with it. That’s what’s happened at Reynolds.” And Reynolds has truly soared on Charlton’s watch. From its burgeoning athletics and arts programs to the school’s monumentally successful fundraising endeavours as a Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock supporter, Charlton’s method of leadership has been instrumental in guiding those triumphs. “She’s enabled our school to have a sense of community. We see the school in the community and we see it in the global sense. Our kids become more complete students (when they leave Reynolds),” says teacher Dean NorrisJones, who’s been at the school for 25
years. “Alana is the best of the best.” Prior to her arrival at Reynolds, Charlton spent 17 years at Oak Bay High, in teaching, counselling and administrative roles. Before that, she worked as a substitute teacher, full time at South Park Family and Rockheights middle schools, and full time as a district dance teacher. But while publicly Charlton’s relentless focus has been on her passion for schools, she says motherhood was her No. 1 job. That experience also provided her with her proudest moments, she says. Her two sons, Kevin and Ben, are now adults. They’ve both left Victoria, and moved their lives to the Lower Mainland and Seattle, respectively, but they both say something fascinating happens whenever they return to Victoria to visit mom and dad.
“When I’m back in Victoria now, people see the name on my credit card and ask, ‘Are you Mrs. Charlton’s son?’ Then they will go off about how much they love my mom and how great she is,” says Kevin, the youngest. “It’s a testament to how many people she’s touched in her life. And it’s always about how she went the extra mile on something for them,” adds Ben. John Gaiptman, superintendent of the Greater Victoria School District, says filling the vacancy Charlton leaves behind will genuinely be one of toughest challenges of his career. “Reynolds has become what most of us dream about when we dream about what a school should be,” he says.

The commissioner tasked with tweaking federal electoral boundaries in B.C. admits the changes are less than perfect, but Capital Region leaders say riding changes are old hat and another MP will ultimately create a stronger Island voice in Ottawa. In Saanich, the Saanich-Gulf Islands border will be altered to follow Quadra and Cook streets south to the Victoria boundary, shaving off an area, including the municipal hall, for the newly cre-
ated Saanich-Juan de Fuca. Mayor Frank Leonard said he's grown accustomed to such "tinkering," with three MPs and three provincial MLAs representing various pockets of the district. “I actually find it convenient,” he said. “They’re not usually the same political party … and they serve us well.” Public opposition to some of the proposed changes prevailed in Victoria, as Vic West remains part of the riding. “As the process went on, I got less fixated on numbers and more fixated on what made sense, to have people hanging together as communities,” said John Hall, the B.C. federal boundaries commissioner and a provincial appeal court judge. Victoria has approximately 110,000 people in the unchanged riding. The smallest Island riding will be Cowichan-Malahat-Langford with 99,100 people. Federal ridings are reviewed every 10 years, with a goal of creating roughly 105,000 people in each riding. B.C.’s share of federal seats will increase from 36 to 42. The only controversial change is in the current riding of Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca, which MP Randall Garrison worries will cause confusion amongst voters. The proposal calls for the
Randall Garrison West Shore to be split into two ridings, Cowichan-Malahat-Langford, and Saanich-Juan de Fuca. Garrison said he'll lobby for the latter to be called EsquimaltSaanich-Sooke. “It would better reflect the geography of the new riding and better indicate who is included and who is not,” Garrison said. Nationwide, federal electoral districts will increase to 338 from 308. The population of B.C. has jumped half a million to 4.4 million since the last redistribution in 2002.

Tyler Smith, left, and Matt Robinson work together on a steel stud and drywall project during a fourth-year Camosun College carpentry class on the Interurban campus. A skills shortage is expected to hit B.C. by 2016, say university presidents.
Universities warn of impending job skills deficit Kyle Slavin News staff
A shift in supply and demand expected to hit B.C. in 2016 means employers are expected to have a difficult time finding well-educated people to fill positions. This ominous jobs deficit forecast, put out by the Research Universities’ Council of British Columbia this week, comes with a call to action from the presidents of six B.C. universities asking for better funding from the provincial government. They say that’s the only way a deficit will be avoided. “It’s simple: we’re not educating enough people,” said Allan Cahoon, president of Royal Roads University. “B.C. has historically made up for that deficit with in-migration from other provinces, but that’s in decline. We’re also going to see an increase in the number of people retiring, and there’s a shortage of talent coming out of our universities.” In 2016, 5,900 jobs will go unfilled in B.C. due to a skills deficit, they say. By 2020, that number is expected to balloon to 18,800. David Turpin, president of the University of Victoria, says the deficit will come in a variety of jobs spanning many sectors. “It’s going to be all across the board. Some of the big ones are areas such as supervisors, nurse supervisors, registered nurses, teachers, auditors, managers in retail, all types of engineers,” he said. The RUCBC is calling on the government to take three steps immediately to reverse the forecasted skills gap: secure space for 11,000 new students in universities, colleges and trades schools over the next four years; improve financial assistance programs (grants, scholarships loans); and commit to improve B.C.’s research and innovation potential. “Moving up into election environment, it’s absolutely critical that this province be able to educate the young people so that they can succeed in the new economy,” Turpin said. Advanced Education Minister John Yap did not return phone calls.

OUR VIEW
Here comes the tax, man The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives released a report this week that says if the province returned to 2000 tax levels it could wipe out the deficit, estimated at $1.47 billion, in one year. That’s something to think about. B.C.’s finances are tight because of several cuts to both personal and business taxes that have thinned the Tough choices budget steadily over the last decade. If the ahead for any province collected the government same amount in tax revenues as it did in 2000, it would have $3.5 billion more in public funds, no deficit, and the ability to invest in enhanced and even new public services. While raising taxes doesn’t sound like a great idea on the surface, there is no evidence that lower taxes have stimulated our economy. In fact, the opposite appears to be true. When the Liberals came in they gutted the public service and got the province out of the red. But the economy was in a different place then. At the time our resources were selling well globally, the U.S. housing market was booming and the economy was generally in good shape. Where our taxes come from has altered, too. We are taking less from corporations and more from families, less from higher income earners and more from the middle class. British Columbians now have to decide what they value more: services or disposable income – or find a balance between the two. Experience says cut taxes to create jobs, but in poor economic times governments are not anxious to take those kind of risks. Whether we have a Liberal, NDP or other government, tough decisions on taxation are going to have to be made. A huge deficit is a job killer. It leads to consumer pessimism and an economic slow down. Raising taxes will not be an easy sell for any government, but we may have no other choice if we want to see services maintained. What do you think?

My email inbox receives a steady stream of press releases from vocal anti-WiFi groups and anti-smart meter groups. I don’t get a lot of pro-WiFi emails. One of our reporters wrote a story a few years ago that examined a family who tried to avoid radio frequencies by living deep in the woods and who refused to own a microwave oven or cordless phone. That unleashed a surprising tirade derision and incredulity toward the family from readers. That led me to believe that there’s a normally quiet population out there that: a) realizes you can’t possibly avoid radio frequencies, even out in the woods; and b) is happy to live with cellphones and wireless technology, and possibly smart meters, without worrying about ill effects. When it comes to wireless smart meters and WiFi, people shouldn’t be forced to have the devices at home if it scares them, although WiFi signals are almost unavoidable in an urban area. And no matter what kind of gross exaggerations are asserted by anti-WiFi groups, people with cellphones or who have smart meters aren’t going to start dropping like flies. Personally I’d be more concerned about getting cancer from the sun. This being Victoria, I don’t have to worry much about that either. – Edward Hill is the editor of the Saanich News. editor@saanichnews.com

S E LETTERS H VIC OOM ES R HTR Township’s speed limit strategy EIG S W S explained by Esquimalt mayor E INING
www.saanichnews.com • A7
H T L EA
Re: Victoria revs up speed limit debate (News, Jan. 25) I would like to provide a clarification for your readers regarding Esquimalt speed limits. The article provides good comment from Esquimalt engineering manager, Will Weiler. He provided some explanation to the speeds posted along Esquimalt Road. The speed limit within the Township is 50 km/h unless otherwise posted. This is consistent with the provincial act. The speed limit is varied from this standard based on schools, playgrounds, parks, road geometry and visibility. The speed limit on the Island Highway in View Royal is 50 km/h. It is then 40 km/h along Craigflower Road in Esquimalt, then 30 km/h along Craigflower in Victoria. The speed limit along our portion of the road was changed from 50 to 40 km/h approximately two years ago. This change was done in the interests of traffic calming and to help provide a safer corridor for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. Discussions were held with VicPD about this change and they were in agreement that it would help. The speed limit along Esquimalt Road within Esquimalt is 40 km/h, whereas within Victoria it is posted as 50 km/h. This was also done in the
same manner and for the same reasons Craigflower Road was changed. Consistency of speed limits within a corridor, across municipal boundaries, to the degree it is possible, would be helpful in understanding the expectations of all using the road. Mayor Barbara Desjardins Township of Esquimalt
Lower urban speeds benefit everyone Re: Victoria revs up speed limit debate Reducing the residential speed limit by 10 km/h is an idea whose time has come. Most vehicle accidents occur in urban centres and the connection between urban vehicle speed and citizen safety is profound. Multiple studies show a significant reduction in the probability of death for pedestrians or cyclists, as the speed of impact is lowered. Kudos to Victoria City Council for pushing for a provincewide urban speed limit of 40 km/h. Communities around the world are lowering urban speeds with huge positive results. Benefits to drivers include fewer and less severe accidents, no impact on travel time, reduced fuel and vehicle operating costs and lower car
insurance rates. Benefits to children, pedestrians, cyclists and neighbourhoods include increased safety, cleaner air and less noise. Plus when streets are safer, more people walk and ride instead of drive, resulting in healthier citizens who need less from the health-care system. Benefits to governments and taxpayers include lower costs associated with signage and carnage. Implementing a general ruling on urban speed is far cheaper than dealing with one road at a time, and reducing accidents means less police time spent on attending crashes and doing the related paperwork. Also, slower urban vehicle speeds reduce greenhouse gas emissions – a huge component of the B.C. government’s commitment to sustainability and action on climate change. There are no downsides to the resolution Victoria city council is planning to put before the Union of B.C. Municipalities this fall. Drivers get where they are going in the same amount of time, and citizens have safer streets and more travel choices. It is a total win-win. Now it’s our job to get behind council to make sure it gets passed. Jenny Farkas Victoria
Readers respond: Liberal attacks, gender equity Liberal attack tactics extend beyond the NDP When the B.C. Liberals resort to negative advertising, it shows just how unfit they are to govern. If they are willing to attack Adrian Dix, they’d be just as willing to attack you. That’s exactly what they have been doing for 12 years; attacking the poor, attacking those who help the poor; attacking women, attacking women’s support groups; attacking public services and the employees who deliver those services. The Liberals have nothing left to offer except bitterness and abuse. Sue Stroud Central Saanich
Gender equity needed in Doyle’s criticisms I was surprised that the usually very precise Auditor General John Doyle made a glaring error when he referred to the B.C. Liberal government, in their handling of his reappointment, as a “Mickey Mouse” operation.
Doyle should have said that the manner in which Christy Clark and her administration dealt with this issue was that of a Minnie Mouse operation. In these politically correct times, it is important to be accurate with such delicate matters as the gender of mice. Gordon Pollard Victoria
Institutions need not be frightening places Re: Mental illness costs sizeable (Our View, Jan. 23) You don’t advocate “a return to the days of institutionalizing people with mental disabilities simply because they can’t function at a high enough level to live on their own.” Is it better to let them be “free” to wander the streets, often unaware of goings-on around them, or perhaps being taken advantage of by others who function on a “slightly higher level?” Institutions do not have to be ugly, frightening and depressing places.

Freeman of Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard, left, will bestow the honour of Freeman of Saanich upon former mayor Howard Sturrock, right, in a ceremony Saturday (Feb. 2) at 10 a.m at Saanich municipal hall. The Freeman of Saanich honour is the highest formal honour bestowed upon citizens in recognition of their contributions to the community.
Two events planned to remember Lindsay Continued from Page A1
“Yes, I carry a sign, just to say, ‘My daughter was murdered here. She was a good young woman. She was working while she was murdered. That could be you, that could be your sister, that could be your mom going to work,’” Jeff says. While he says he’s aired his frustrations with police publicly in the past, he says he believes the officers who continue to work on the case are dedicated to solving it. “I keep looking forward. I look forward to the day Saanich announces an arrest’s been made in the Lindsay Buziak murder. That’s all I can look forward to. That day is coming,” Jeff says. “I think the reality of it is we have to look at this and say, ‘Five years, it’s not solved. What’s wrong? What’s going on?’” Saanich police Insp. Scott Green says the murder continues to remain a priority. “We have investigators assigned to the file that follow up on any and all information we receive. Like many investigations, it is imperative that we receive information from persons who may have knowledge of the crime, directly or indirectly,” Green says. In addition to the walk in memory of Lindsay, there will be a night to remember event at Glo Restaurant (104-2940 Jutland Rd.) at 7 p.m. on Saturday. Proceeds from tickets ($10) and a silent auction will be donated to the Cridge Transition House for Women. “I really love my daughter, and I really think it’s wrong what happened to her,” Jeff says. “And I truly believe that that crime perpetrated against her should’ve been solved a long time ago.” kslavin@saanichnews.com

Ballet Victoria, choreographer collaborate for Dance Days Travis Paterson News staff
This week Ballet Victoria will premier a short piece commissioned explicitly for them by renowned Canadian choreographer Joe Laughlin. Dance Victoria, which runs Dance Days, hired Laughlin with the purpose of debuting it during the annual festival and Ballet Victoria couldn’t be happier. “This is our first time having Laughlin do a piece for us so it’s very exciting,” said Ballet Victoria artistic and executive director Paul Destrooper. “It’s hard to bring in choreographers because of the cost, and he’s very well-known.” For Ballet Victoria, Laughlin has spun a winter tale, one which could help break the maddening routine of Victoria’s dark days. It’s a short piece called the White Waltz and it’s about 13 minutes in length, with two distinct parts.
Part one is set to the Blue Danube by Strauss, part two is set to Chopin’s Nocturne. “It captures that early magic of winter, the crisp air, the anticipation of the first snowfall, and the crystallizing of the ice, which comes through the piano,” Destrooper said. White Waltz uses 10 dancers in all and isn’t without humour, which Laughlin is known for. Roller blades will help bring alive the charm of a frozen lake. The dance then moves to a pas de deux (duet) with Destrooper and Andrea Bayne, BV’s principal dancer. White Waltz will run with as part of Laughlin’s 25th anniversary as a choreographer, along with three of his favourites, Harold, Billy, Stan and Jack, Left, and Dusk. Show times are this Wednesday and Thursday (Feb. 6 and 7), 7:30 p.m. at McPherson Playhouse. Opening acts will be performed in

the lobby by Victoria Academy of Ballet students on Wednesday and Victoria School of Contemporary Dance on Thursday. Laughlin, who runs his own company, Joe Ink., visited for two weeks in October to work with the Ballet Victoria dancers for the White Waltz. “It was a unique experience,” said Bayne, a Haligonian now in her fifth year with BV. “It was my first time working with him and although there is always a new vocabulary with every choreographer, his movements are very specific.” Laughlin is known for his gymnast-inspired stylings of contemporary and neoclassical ballet, which is to be expected. His ability to share his vision with the dancers also impressed Bayne. “He has a way of making you realize that the movement is beyond just repeating and comes from a deeper meaning.”
For Bayne it was a story Laughlin put in her head, one for viewers to keep in mind. “During the pas de deux I am stuck in the past, and Destrooper’s character tries to bring me into the future, but I don’t want to come. To present that, I fall on the end of notes, but he tries to bring me up to speed with action at the beginning of the notes.” During its 10-day span the interactive festival offers a series of shows and dozens of free workshops throughout Greater Victoria.

Give them power. Give them confidence. Give them control.
GIVE THEM A PAPER ROUTE! A paper route is about so much more than money. These days kids want and need so many things. With a paper route they not only earn the money to buy those things, they also gain a new respect for themselves. They discover a new sense of confidence, power and control by having their very own job, making their own money and paying for their own games, phones and time with friends. All it takes is an hour or so after school Wednesday and Friday. And even better... there are no collections required.
It’s so easy to get started… call

catalyst, she makes wonderful things happen.” Current Reynolds vice-principal Harold Caldwell will move up to acting principal until July. Norris-Jones will share vice-principal duties with Dwayne Doyle and Jeff Loukes. “Her retirement is a huge loss. Alana raised the bar,” adds Gaiptman. Charlton’s two sons both say they’re happy to see their mom retire, and finally have some time to herself. Charlton’s first priority in retirement: travelling. While she and her husband, Art, are set to travel to France in the summer, Charlton will also chaperone the Reynolds band students to Austria in the spring. Apart from those solidified plans, Charlton, 66, says she’s looking forward to gardening, reading, taking in arts and culture events in Victoria, continuing to learn and spending

time with her two granddaughters in retirement. “It’ll be a real shift for me, for sure” she said. “I have always poured myself into whatever job I have or whatever my career is at the time; I fully commit to that.” And that, her colleagues say, is what sets Charlton apart from the pack. “Alana works hard. She doesn’t rely on being charismatic or she doesn’t rely on her title. Hard work means something, and Alana works incredibly hard for Reynolds,” Gaiptman says. “The students at Reynolds understand that there are two parts of their education: to do well academically and to do good for the community. That’s because Alana’s worked so hard to get that message across.” Respect, responsibility and relationships – that’s the steadfast message that, throughout her career, Charlton passionately shared with her family: her sons, students and staff. And that’s the message her Reynolds family gave her in return – in the form of a teary, heartfelt thank you that made their goodbye to a wellrespected principal so hard to say. kslavin@saanichnews. com Q To read an extended version of this story online, visit saanichnews.com.

SAANICH NEWS - Friday, February 1, 2013
Saanich rent money funnelled into land reserve fund “The whole Gorge Waterway was Saanich acquiring properties – that goes back to the ‘60s. It’s really a visionary thing Saanich has done; identifying properties for these opportunities and acquiring them as they come up,” she said. “We can be very patient,” Leonard added, when referring to a campaign promise he made in 1996 to expand Gorge Park from Admiral’s Road to Tillicum Road. “We just continued buying homes and we only finished the demolitions in the past couple years.” Of the 13 homes
Frank Leonard Saanich currently rents out, most are slated for future parkland. While they’re located throughout the municipality – from Cadboro Bay to
Prospect Lake – there are some neighbouring properties on Roy Road and Hyacinth Avenue currently in Saanich’s possession. The mayor says the willing buyer, willing seller policy is crucial, as he does not support expropriation. Hence the mindset that patience is a virtue. “To expropriate someone’s home is pretty extreme, in my view. … And courts don’t look kindly on government taking people’s homes,” he said. “We try to be a respectful government, and not a heavyhanded government.”

For a few years Saanich rented out a home on Ralph Street, near the Swan Lake Christmas Hill Nature Sanctuary. That changed in June 2012, when the municipality passed ownership of that house to the nature sanctuary. “(Having this house in our possession) gives us a huge opportunity for giving back to the community in a different way,” said Barry Janyk, executive director of the sanctuary. “By having it become a part of our system, our administration, it helps to provide
the longevity, the sustainability of Swan Lake.” Renovations are currently underway at the Ralph Street house, with occupancy – Swan Lake office space and tenancy from the Garry Oak Ecological Recovery Team – expected in early May. While the money to buy the lands typically comes from Saanich’s parks budget or development cost charges, rent money that comes in to Saanich goes to the land sales reserve fund. kslavin@saanichnews. com
