B.C. ELECTION

Candidates navigate stereotypes

Nine-year-old Hailey Fischer and her mom Cora Fischer get help from circulation assistant Amanda Butler to renew her library card at the Emily Carr branch of the Greater Victoria Public Library. The GVPL board voted to move the branch across Blanchard Street to Uptown.

Political parties face challenge of generalizations from voters and critics Daniel Palmer News staff

Stereotyping is the brain’s way of generalizing human behaviour, and whether we like it or not, we all do it. Nowhere is our ability to label and cast judgment as strong as it is in politics, where cheerleaders and critics from all political stripes rely on misconceptions and simplifications to frame their opponents. As the B.C. election ramps up, each party fights against inevitable pigeonholing from the public, media and their opponents, said James Lawson, political scientist at the University of Victoria. “It’s an understated factor in recent Canadian history, the way parties in government have their agenda set by the opposition parties they face, as much as by their own pressures,” he said. The B.C. Liberals face the challenges of any three-time incumbent government, but they have made policy decisions to buck the Liberal stereotype of unabashed resource development, Lawson said. “(Liberal leader) Christy Clark announced five conditions for the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline you could dismiss as theatre, but they were aggressively and publicly pursued,” he said.

With tepid support, library to move GVPL board votes to relocate Saanich’s Emily Carr branch to Uptown

he Emily Carr branch of the Greater Victoria Public Library is set to move to Uptown, after a narrow vote of approval Tuesday. In a 8-7 vote, the GVPL board supported approving the relocation of the 40-year-old Kyle Slavin branch across the street Reporting to a 5,000-square-foot space on the upper level of Uptown. But the split vote came less as a result of opposition to the move, and more because board members feared outstanding concerns – namely access for patrons with disabilities – could fall by the wayside.

“It wasn’t until I did a site visit that the issue of accessibility became absolutely top of mind for me. If you have even a moderate disability, it’s a nightmare,” Victoria Coun. Pam Madoff, a member of the board, said regarding accessing the upper level of Uptown as a pedestrian. Board vice-chair Kevin Murdoch, an Oak Bay councillor, acknowledged that there is a lot of opposition to moving the branch to a leased commercial space at Uptown. “There’s a lot of ‘I do not want to go to Uptown’ comments. But we have to move it somewhere,” he said. “Uptown is the logical location for (relocation). I think this is as good as it gets within that space.” Board member Phil McNair pointed to survey results that indicate there isn’t overwhelmingly strong support for relocation. “To have gone to people and presented

one option, I think a lot of people recognize that as ‘this is a fait accompli and you’re not really asking our thoughts on this,’’’ McNair said. “If we are concerned about library patrons, which to me is our brand … the survey results tell us not to (support) this yet.” A summary of survey results indicate that 51 per cent of regular Emily Carr patrons said a relocation would be beneficial. More than half said “lots of parking,” “easy to get to” and “easy to find” were the most important factors in relocating. The existing Emily Carr branch is “old and outdated,” “poorly configured” and “inaccessible for wheelchair users,” GVPL deputy CEO Lynne Jordon told the News last month.

Spin class instructor Leanne Gray gets ready for the first class at the Downtown YMCA on 20 new Schwin bikes bought with money left by Bert Buchanan in his will. Buchanan was a regular participant in the class until his death at 91 years old.

Generous donation refits YMCA bike room Don Descoteau News staff

To say cycling was a passion for Bert Buchanan would be an understatement. Nearly right up to his death at 91 in the fall of 2011, he rode regularly from home to the Victoria YM -YWCA, where he would climb on a stationary bike for an even more strenuous workout. Buchanan was instrumental in getting cycling into people’s consciousness in the 1950s after arriving in the city, through initiating riding groups and organizing cycling trips. In his later years he cycled competitively in the B.C. Seniors Games, winning medals frequently. “He was one of those guys who was just here all the time,” recalls the Y’s general manager, Mark Dodd, a longtime employee. “Even in his late 80s, he would ride his bike here, then take a spin class, have a coffee with the guys and ride his bike home.” Given the amount of time he spent in the Broughton Street facility and the contributions he made

over the years, the board of the YMYWCA wanted to honour him somehow at the gym. A perfect opportunity to do so came after it was learned that Buchanan had left a sum of money to the Y in his will. Nearing 10 years old and at the end of their useful life, the club’s stationary bikes needed replacement. Not only were 21 new bikes purchased at a cost of around $2,000 each, Dodd says, the room itself was renovated with proper air conditioning and a new sound system. “It’s obviously wonderful when we get a bequest like this, especially from somebody like Bert, who was so involved with the Y for such a long period of time,” says YM-YWCA CEO Jennie Edgecombe. The bequest was not designated, she says, but the Y wanted to recognize Buchanan and the spin room refurbishment seemed the perfect opportunity to put the money to good use. The Y has installed a plaque in memory of Buchanan, and renamed the space Bert’s Bike Room. editor@vicnews.com

Park volunteers seek sounds of silence Noise map to highlight tranquil and noisy spaces within Mount Douglas Park Edward Hill News staff

At certain locations in Mount Douglas Park, the silence of the forest is broken only by a chirping bird or the rustle of the wind. Or an airplane. “That doesn’t count,” said Ian Harper, as a single engine plane drones overhead the Douglas fir canopy. Even in the most peaceful parts of the park, it’s hard to escape sounds of the city. But it’s those extremely quiet places, and everywhere inbetween, that the Friends of Mount Douglas Park Society plan to map out as a soundscape. Given enough volunteers willing to lend their ears and best judgment on assessing sound levels in the park, society president Darrell Wick and Harper, a recent University of Victoria urban development graduate, plan to create a colourcoded trail map that indicates typical sound levels due to city noise, and specific places where quiet tranquility is almost guaranteed. Of course, most people don't need a map to tell them that deep in the woods near Little Mount Douglas, for instance, is far quieter than walking on the trail next to Cordova Bay Road at rush hour. But the varying geography of the park can channel traffic noise deep into the forest or almost block it completely, even on trails relatively close the road. An earth berm on Norn trail muffled 3 p.m. parkway traffic, leaving only bird twitters (and the airplane flyover). It was a different story 50 metres away where the ground slope carried car noise to the trail. “Most people don’t think about natural sounds and silence. A lot

Road closures Sunday for TC10K run

Edward Hill/News staff

Friends of Mount Douglas president Darrell Wick shows off a 51 decibel sound reading in Mount Douglas Park, in this case from chirping birds. Wick is seeking volunteers to help create a sound map of the park to allow people to see the loudest and most tranquil areas in terms of urban noise. of people in the park wear iPods to block the street sounds,” Wick said. “That got us going. We want to document an overall soundscape for the park – where do you hear only nature, or hear only cars?” Wick’s idea for a sound map was triggered when a new and apparently noisy air conditioning unit was installed for existing transmitter equipment at the top of the mountain. Saanich managed to throttle back the racket, but it got Wick thinking about how urban sounds impact the park. He took inspiration from organizations like onesquareinch.org, which has designed a specific “one square inch” location within Olympic National Park in Washington State as the quietest place in the U.S. “It got us thinking we need a noise reference. With hot summer days (the AC unit) is bound to get noisy again,” Wick said. “It dawned People driving downtown on Sunday could see some delays. The annual TC10K will take place April 28, forcing road closures throughout the downtown core. The route starts at Government and Belleville, heading north on Government/Wharf to Johnson,

on us the park has got really quiet areas, but we’ve never documented them. We want to visually show the quiet places. If we can document it, we can preserve it.” Even away from the parkway or Churchill Drive, and within the forest, noise can be an issue. New gravel on sections of Whittaker trail at the north end of the park crunch beneath our feet, and irritates Wick. His iPhone decibel metre app spikes to 50 and 60 db as we walk. Standing still it hovers in the low 30s, quieter than a typical library. Health Canada says noise on a major road typically hits about 75 db. “If you listen for long enough, you become acutely aware of any sounds and car noise,” Wick said. Wick is looking for volunteers to document noise levels at different times of day on the main trails on the mountain and Douglas creek sides of the park, using a zero to four rating system (zero is no

car noise; four is standing next to Shelbourne Street). The project is keeping it simple and subjective, and isn’t asking people to record decibel levels or sound frequencies. Harper plans to plot data generated by volunteers on a map to show typical ambient noise levels in all areas of the park, and to create an overall noise baseline. Wick expects to replicate the exercise in five or 10 years to see if urban clatter is making inroads into the forest. “We want to show where urban noise isn’t intruding,” Harper said. “Despite being a subjective experience, if enough people participate, the overall average noise volume should be a good representative to a typical daytime noise level.” To participate in the sound map project, see mountdouglaspark.ca, or email Wick at darrell@mountdouglaspark.ca. editor@saanichnews.com

Victoria Teen Expo aims to engage youth

Saanich won’t refit existing library building

Vendors, speakers to pack Pearkes on Saturday

Relocating to the new Uptown site will allow for better use of space, and will save money on operational costs, Jordon said. Board chair Greg Bunyan called the decision a “good move,” and one he believes library users will support. “We have a philosophy to bring the library to the people by co-locating ... to where people go to do more than one thing at a time,” he said, pointing to the Bruce Hutchison and Centennial libraries being co-located at Saanich recreation centres. “Twenty- to twenty-two-thousand people go to Uptown every day. Those people will now have easy exposure to the library. “And we have to make sure our current patrons are comfortable with the new location. No matter what we do, we have to let the public know what’s happening with the move because we know there will be a lot of questions.” Once direction from the library is given to Saanich, staff will prepare a report for council to decide whether it supports financing a long-term lease at Uptown. (Operating agreements between municipalities and the GVPL lay out that the municipality provides and pays for the library facility, while the GVPL pays to operate the library.) Saanich owns the existing Emily Carr branch building. Feedback from library users suggests there’s an appetite to stay in the 6,000 square foot space, but Saanich says it won’t spend the money needed to bring the building up to GVPL standards. The GVPL’s 2010 facilities plan also indicates the need to move, as opposed to simply a retrofit. Lease negotiations are ongoing between Saanich and Uptown, and details on what rent might cost have not been released. The finals terms of the lease, if it’s approved by council, will be decided in-camera. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Long idle lots near Mount Doug show early signs of development Cordova Bay association, park advocates press Saanich to buy forested properties

Two forested properties and a road next to Mount Douglas Park (highlighted) were created in 1912, but have recently been surveyed for possible development.

Edward Hill News staff

Two undeveloped lots that have sat idle next to Mount Douglas Park for 100 years now bear telltale survey markings for future development. The two long-forgotten single-family properties lie at the end of Westbank Street, or at least the Westbank Street that exists on paper – a 20 metre wide, 200 metre long gazetted road that has never been fully built. Saanich director of planning Sharon Hvozdanski said the lots are “vintage” and created in 1912, six years after municipal incorporation. The lots and most of the road are forest and largely indistinguishable from the park. The Cordova Bay Association and the Friends of Mount Douglas Park Society are calling on Saanich to try and buy the properties. Each lot is 668 square metres and hold a total assessed value of $274,000.

District of Saanich image

“Those two lots are an anomaly,” said Darrell Wick, president of the Friends of Mount Doug. “It’s a pristine area from a nature and wilderness standpoint, and from a soundscape standpoint. “We thought nobody would develop them, and then bingo, we heard about this.” Graham Shorthill with the Cordova Bay Association, said in the early 1980s Saanich council cancelled a proposed subdivision along Cordova Bay Road called Rockbank, and turned most of it to parkland,

although these two undeveloped parcels were not part of that project. “The direction of previous council a generation ago was the right one. We’d like these properties to progress along the same path,” Shorthill said. “It set the trend that the park is important and will be preserved.” Shorthill said if Saanich can’t or won’t buy the lands, the association wants the lots to conform with Cordova Bay community plan, which calls for larger minimum lot sizes. Friends of Mount Doug is also asking Saanich to conduct an environ-

mental impact assessment on blasting and earth moving that would be required to push Westbank Street up the hill and through rock outcrops. Survey flags mark the outline of the road and lots, but it’s unclear if development is imminent. After 100 years of simply being forest, Shorthill said a neighbour noticed a survey crew working on the land a few months ago. Staff at Saanich indicate that these properties aren’t subject to rezoning or any other process that would require public hearings. If council did mull purchasing the properties, discussion would be behind closed doors. Parks committee chair Coun. Nicola Wade said the proposal to buy the lots hasn’t come before council yet, but any such request would have to mesh with Saanich’s existing park acquisition plan. Hvozdanski said there is nothing stopping the property owner from building the road and a house on each lot. “Two lots have the right to be developed, but it would not be inexpensive because they need to bring servicing and a road to that property,” Hvozdanski said. “However, legally they have a right to do so within the zoning.” editor@saanichnews.com

Ship collision to delay DND repair operations Daniel Palmer News staff

The investigation into a collision between a fishing vessel and a navy frigate at CFB Esquimalt will delay scheduled work at Victoria shipyards, but officials aren’t saying for how long. On Tuesday morning, The American Dynasty slammed into HMCS Winnipeg, causing damage to both ships as well as to “C” Jetty, where the Winnipeg was docked. “That ship (the Dynasty) was on its way into the dock (Tuesday), so clearly that’s delayed, but assessing the impact to Victoria’s ongoing schedule will take some time,” said Brian Carter, president of Seaspan shipyards. The collision occurred as the 90-metre fishing trawler was being escorted by tugboats into the Esquimalt graving dock. Six of the 65 people working on the Winnipeg at the time of impact were transported to Victoria General Hospital with minor injuries; they have since been discharged. A DND spokesperson would not confirm the estimated damage to the Winnipeg, which recently underwent an extensive systems retrofit, but admitted there would be a delay to its scheduled operations.

The Department of National Defence owns the Esquimalt graving dock, also known as Victoria Shipyards. Seaspan leases the drydock from DND for its Victoria-based shipbuilding and ship repair work, and also has operations out of North Vancouver. The complex investigation is being led by the Transportation Safety Board and includes the DND, Seaspan and American Seafoods Company, owner of the Dynasty. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Did you know? n HMCS Winnipeg was christened in 1994 and is one of 12 Canadian patrol frigates in the Canadian Navy. It is considered among the most advanced warships in the world. n In 2010, the Winnipeg’s crew was honoured by NATO for its success in counter-piracy operations off the coast of Somalia. In that operation, the Winnipeg helped ensure the safe delivery of more than 5,000 tonnes of humanitarian aid to Somalia and disarmed five pirate ships.

Hospice Happenings

Walking has long been a natural way for people to cope with the unexpected. That’s why years ago, Victoria Hospice began offering walking groups to help grieving family members work through the loss of their loved ones in a supportive, healthy environment. So the decision to create Hike for Hospice, an annual fundraising event for Victoria Hospice, was an easy one. On May 5 teams and individuals will gather at Fishermans’ Wharf Park and enjoy a scenic 3.5 km loop walk along Victoria’s waterfront. The hike lets families remember loved ones and encourages supporters to team up to raise funds and awareness for quality end-oflife care. “This is our second year for Hike for Hospice in Victoria. But we’re part of a larger, nationwide Hike for Hospice event, which is now in its 11th year, put on by the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association,” says Wendy Innes, Victoria Hospice’s Community Relations officer. How can you get involved? Challenge friends and family to gather sponsors, or enter as an individual, or see what creative fundraiser you can organize at work. This year’s Hike for Hospice is Sunday May 5th at 9 am in Fisherman’s Wharf Park.

Female candidates still face scrutiny on looks Continued from Page A1

“It would be hard to imagine her backing down from those.” As the B.C. NDP look to oust the Liberals from power for the first time in 13 years, leader Adrian Dix has been mediating concerns about his party’s ability to manage economic growth and keep spending contained, Lawson said. “We’ve seen Dix spending a lot of time attending business meetings, emphasizing transparency about what the NDP wanted to do and playing down radical change,” he said. The NDP’s ideological tightrope walk so far seems to be holding the support of new voters while not alienating its traditional base. The most recent Angus Reid opinion poll gives the NDP a 20-point lead over the Liberals provincewide. Some critics also suggest an NDP government would cause a mass exodus of corporations from the province, an idea today rooted more in myth than reality, Lawson said. “If you are deeply invested in and see opportunities in the B.C. economy, are you really going to say to your shareholders you’d turn down those opportunities because of the government in power? Once you’re invested in a society, there’s

a limit to which businesses can pull up roots and walk, even in today’s very light economy.” The B.C. Green Party struggles with the label of a left-wing and one-issue party, although its policies tend to be about smallscale solutions, and encouraging the free market economy and less bureaucracy, Lawson said. Gender stereotyping also plays a role for B.C. Green leader Jane Sterk and the Liberals’ Clark, as evidenced by regular social media comments, said Janni Aragon, gender and politics instructor at UVic. “There have been moments where (Clark) has been treated as if she’s a dumb bimbo, unfortunately, and moments in which her suit or the tightness across her chest is brought up,” Aragon said. “Would that happen if her name was Christopher Clark?” Female candidates tend to be subject to assumptions about feminist beliefs that their male counterparts aren’t, Aragon said. “When people call someone a radical feminist, they don’t understand there’s actually a typology of feminism that has certain tenets or beliefs. Instead, they just throw it out. It’s lazy.” dpalmer@vicnews.com

Gorge cleanup makes progress, but junk still piles up Edward Hill News staff

There’s fewer televisions, computers and Chesterfields chucked into the Gorge Waterway these days, but a volunteer crew still expects to fill three dumpsters with trash on Saturday. Tomorrow is the Victoria Canoe and Kayak Club’s 15th annual Gorge Waterway cleanup, which spans Tillicum Bridge to Portage Inlet, and includes estuaries of Colquitz and Craigflower creeks. Volunteers are dropped off on various shoreline locations along the waterway to pickup garbage, while crews in voyageur canoes

fish junk out of the Gorge itself. They time the cleanup for low tide. “We just want to keep the Gorge beautiful,” said Don Munroe with the VCKC. “We’re lucky to have a waterway like this. It’s special and it’s come along way over the years.” Munroe said in past years it was common to find TVs, computers, couches and carpets along the shore or in the water, and especially around bridges. “You’d have to send boats out quite a few times they’d fill up so fast,” he said. “These days there’s not as many big items.” There’s still no shortage of vandalized stop signs and other road

gear, and the waterway is home to a few hotspots for abandoning garbage. “Really anywhere there’s a bridge, and in Colquitz or Craigflower (creeks). There lots of shopping carts from Tillicum (Centre),” he said. The Capital Regional District provides gloves and garbage bags, and Waste Management provides the dumpsters and tipping fees. Tim Hortons sponsors the food and drinks. Volunteers should show up at the Victoria Canoe and Kayak Club at 355 Gorge Rd West. by 9 a.m. on April 27. The cleanup runs until 1 p.m. editor@saanichnews.com

OUR VIEW

Platforms ignore low-cost child care

his week the B.C. Liberals and the NDP laid out their platforms on how they would help mould and support the youngest minds in the province. The Liberals are offering more of what they’ve been doing, which on the whole has been a boon to young kids and their parents, at least for the past few years. Under the Liberals, the Ministry of Education has implemented full-day kindergarten, and introduced free StrongStart programs into schools for toddlers and parents, which are overseen by early learning educators. Leading into the election, the Liberals are pledging $34 million more for existing Success by Six programs (threatened with deep cuts in 2010) and about $10 million per year for three years to encourage more licenced day care spaces. The NDP is looking to reroute money promised by the Liberals for registered education plans, and direct it to families, about $70 per kid per month for the lowest income bracket. It also vowed $100 million to reduce child care costs by 20 per cent. Despite committing plenty of cash for child care, neither party (nor the Greens or Conservatives) have dared to announce anything along the lines of universal child care. Arguably, a B.C.-wide subsidized licenced child care program would be a natural continuation of publicly funded education happening now, such as StrongStart, Success by Six, full-day K and the Grade 1 to 12 system. As opposed to topping up existing programs or giving relatively small amounts of cash to people with kids, creating truly affordable child care could make the greatest difference in the lives of working parents. Child care subsidies already exist for low-income families, but a universal lowcost system could finally free parents from calculating if returning to the workforce after a maternity or paternity leave is worth the typically high monthly cost of child care. The benefits of quality early childhood education are touted by educators across Canada. The federal government has abandoned any notion of creating universal child care. Our provincial leaders need to take on the challenge. What do you think? Give us your comments by email: editor@saanichnews.com or fax 250-386-2624.

Unfortunately, at a time when we should be building capacity in colleges, many have had to do more with less. Camosun College faces higher demand and yet in 2013-14 will need to overcome a budget deficit of $2 million. Camosun is not alone. The current funding model does not adequately fund the very institutions that are able to supply the job-ready graduates to fuel B.C.’s economy Over the last 10 years the provincial government has invested substantially in research and graduate programs at B.C.’s research universities including the University of Victoria and the University of British Columbia. No doubt this investment has served the educational needs of many British Columbians. But now we need the same level of investment in advanced skills training and education at colleges to address the pending skills gap. It is my hope that after the provincial election, our provincial government will establish an investment plan to help colleges meet the growing demand for highly skilled graduates to fuel B.C.’s competitive advantage. Education is not an expense; it is an investment. It is time to make an investment in our most critical resource – a highly skilled and educated workforce. Jim Reed is the president of B.C.

LETTERS Bombing coverage on TV exacerbates fears Re: Don’t let fear hold you back (Our View, April 19) If fear is the weapon of the terrorist, it seems to me that our two main TV stations exacerbated that fear day after day by focusing on the damage done in the horror of the bombing in Boston. There was plenty of positive news they could have better focused on from this event in Boston, as these people showed both their courage and competency in dealing with this tragedy. The Bostonians remained cool under fire. This editorial sends the right and encouraging message – we will always be threatened by ideological nuts but the less satisfaction they get from their attacks, the less often will they be motivated to take that chance. Andy Mulcahy Victoria

Suzuki’s hollow words distract from meaningful change Re: Energy will determine Canada’s fate (Science Matters, April 19) David Suzuki’s words have turned me off for years, though he has nothing but admirable things to say. And the same thing again in this opinion piece. Yes, there is a limit to growth and certainly – we cannot keep heating up our planet with unfettered fossil fuel use. Yes, our governments must stop ignoring the long-term to court short-term electoral success. So many platitudes echoing tired truths. All these villains and ‘shoulds’ add to the clutter of our immobilized minds. TM

Look closely for these villains and most vanish into us. Our governments are us and their actions and inactions, for the most part, reflect our own narrow views and priorities. Real change also involves thoughtful, deep-running, personal courage and change. I suggest we tune out the paralyzing rhetoric of those who know better, like our well-meaning Suzuki, and exert more daily effort in caring for each other and our precious Earth. These efforts quietly magnify and heal. Tom Oak Victoria

Liberals hypocritically denouncing ‘shakedown’ Whether or not it was inappropriate for the NDP to send a fundraising letter to the Liberals’ big donors asking them for $5,000 to balance government, who is Mike de Jong or any other Liberal to call it a shakedown? It is the Liberals who shook down the taxpayers for Mr. Basi and Mr. Virk’s $6 million legal bailout; they tried to shake down the school board to balance its budget, and then they found $11 million for Bollywood. I also find it both funny and pathetic that Don McCrae or any other Liberal candidate question how an NDP government would pay for this or that, when it was the Liberals who spent millions of dollars trying to convince us they are doing a wonderful job. The Liberals are also making spending announcements, all of which relies on revenue from an industry that B.C. won’t have for at least another four years, if ever: liquefied natural gas. Ida Chong was quoted as saying there

won’t be money to improve the Malahat Highway until the economy improves. Whether or not she realizes it, she’s admitted the economy isn’t as strong as her Liberal government wants us to believe. Andre Mollon Langford

Enough reasons exist to not build sewage plant I list seven reasons, any one of which should be enough to discredit the idea that Victoria needs a land-based sewage treatment plant. To build one would not be just an irreversible mistake but a perversion. • A 1984 Royal Commission, examining this exact issue, stated that comparing treatment with long out falls the latter “could be environmentally preferable where conditions were suitable.” Ours are ideal. • A motion put before the U.S. Congress to require all sea discharges to have secondary treatment was defeated in light of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. • Those who know best are the medical health officers, the biologists and oceanographers who have been monitoring the outfalls for a generation. Not one believes we should be building such a plant. • The environment minister’s order to build a plant followed immediately after a report by a U.S. firm that had been retained by the Capital Regional District, but the report conclusions did not specifically recommend such a plant be built. It states that where people reach different conclusions “great deference is due to the expressed will of the electorate.”

• A glance at a map shows all the waste from Greater Vancouver flowing out under Lions Gate Bridge or into the Fraser River, joined by the even greater flow from Everett and Greater Seattle and then past our front door, the relative impact of which is patently negligible. • The impact of our sewage is negligible but the environmental health and safety impact of building and operating the plant would be substantial. I suspect the equipment exhaust during construction would be greater than our long outfall impact over a generation. Pollution has been ignored; fuel use has been ignored. • We would rob other needs of upwards of a billion dollars. That alone would be an unforgivable step backwards. I have been involved in this issue for half my life and it is patent that most politicians do not have the educational background to form sensible judgments on the issue. Ted Dew-Jones Victoria

Parc Modern expands with more space, new lines Jennifer Blyth Black Press

Parc Modern furniture has doubled its space in a new location on Bay Street, giving customers more room to comfortably explore the terrific lines and products the store is known for, plus more than a few new surprises. David and Jody Adelman opened Parc Modern Interiors on Herald Street in 2010, focusing largely on living room furnishings that suited the modern aesthetic and size requirements of today’s condos. With more and more requests from customers looking for the same style in dining room and bedroom furnishings, it became clear they needed more room, David explains. Not only does the bright and airy new Bay Street location offer 5,000 square feet of display space – including a 50-foot illuminated chair wall perfect for inspiring new ideas – but there’s also ample free parking right in front of the store and a small warehouse on-site for easy pick-up. “Our customers walk in and they’re just wowed by the selection and space,” David says. Since moving at the beginning of April, the central location is also attracting many new customers who hadn’t ventured into the downtown store before, he notes. “We have every category of furniture now – living room, dining room, bedroom and home office. We have storage beds, wood, leather and fabric beds, and the full spectrum of modern floor and table lamps, plus other accessories – lots of choices now that we have the space,” David notes. “We’re truly a full-service store now.” Creating your perfect space at home is also easier in Parc Modern’s new design centre. Customers will enjoy relaxing with a beverage from the coffee bar while viewing the latest catalogues on the 60inch flatscreen. The screen provides a larger view of the furnishings and accessories while ensuring homeowners are accessing the most current information. On the green front, the electronic catalogues also allowing the store to improve its environmental footprint with reduced paper consumption, David says. Among the recent highlights at the new store is the Calvin Klein Custom Rug Program, which lets customers take home carpet samples to try in their space before ordering. Another highlight, especially here in eco-conscious Victoria, is Magniflex Memory Foam Mattress from Italy. While beautiful to sleep on, the mattress also features organic covers, zero-off-gassing and are hypo allergenic, earning Magniflex the coveted Oeko-tex certification. More space has also meant more Canadian lines, including two exciting new companies from Montreal, Trica and G.Romano, appealing to fans of clean lines, bright fabrics and customizable options. While quality, stylish furnishings remain the cornerstone of Parc Modern’s philosophy, underlying everything is David and Jody’s commitment to their customers, demonstrated in the referrals and word-of-mouth advertising they enjoy. “The store has a pretty good cool factor to it but we still pride ourselves on excellent customer service before everything else,” David says.

o you’ve had too much to drink and now you and your car are far from home without a safe option to get home. Enter Wise Choice, a designated driver service that gets you and your vehicle home in one piece. Owners Justin and Michelle Hiscox started Wise Choice two months ago, and the couple, who run the business out of their home in View Royal, say it’s all about family taking care of family. “We’re not about the money, we’re about the people,” says Justin, who has been in the designated driver business for the past four years. A brief glimpse into Justin’s past reveals his intention behind the business. “I don’t want to go to another of my friend’s funerals,” he says. “I lost eight of my friends (to drinking and driving) and that’s why I do what I do today.” The business differs from a taxi service because of the tag-team method that Michelle and Justin use.

Victoria man vows to tell Malala’s story Edward Hill News staff

One Tuesday last October, a gunman stormed a school bus in the Swat District of Pakistan and shot Malala Yousafzai in the head. It was a brazen attempt to silence a young girl who dared to speak out for women’s rights. The attack on Malala made headlines around the world. The fearless 15-year-old, who wrote about life under the rule of the Pakistani Taliban survived two bullets, and after a number of surgeries, she was eventually flown to the U.K. to recover. In Victoria, veteran journalist Mohsin Abbas knew this was the time to document her story for the world. “The moment (Malala) was attacked I wanted to jump in. I know the nature of her story and the impact of her story. I knew how Canada would respond,” said Abbas, 38, and who lives in Saanich. “There was no time to wait. I just thought it up and left. I jumped on a plane and started filming the (people) in her life.” Abbas, who was born and raised in Pakistan and worked there as a journalist until 2002, hired a film crew in Pakistan and conducted interviews in and around Malala’s home in the Swat Valley, from November until March this year. Shooting the documentary was profoundly dangerous work – Abbas narrowly

But now I’m going back to finish the film. We have to tell the story.” Four years ago, Malala started blogging

under a pseudonym through the BBC Urdu service. A documentary on Malala by the New York Times told her story to the wider world of a girl who defied the Taliban and regressive elements of her society. The Taliban had banned education for girls in the

Swat Valley in the tribal North-West Frontier Province bordering Afghanistan. “(The Taliban) tried to blow up schools, slaughtered, murdered and flogged women in the village squares. Malala challenged them. A 12-year-old took a stand and made the statement: ‘How are you going to stop me from writing and getting an education?’” Abbas said. “Her story highlights problems in the region. She took a chance, took a bullet and took the world stage as well. She deserves (the fame) big time, she is a brilliant child.” Abbas spent the past five months interviewing Malala’s friends, family, teachers and hardline elements around her home in Mingora in the Swat Valley, a place known as “Paradise.” Malala’s message has resonated through Pakistani society – in one village where generations of girls are raised as folk dancers, Abbas said mothers are now demanding their daughters receive an education. He also spoke with two girls shot in the same attack on Malala, who still live in the same area. “They are still living there and living in fear, constantly under threat from the Taliban.” “I went to see what people think. People are optimistic, motivated by these brave girls who fight for educational rights. These people support girls’ education,” Abbas said. PLEASE SEE: Challenge in future is huge, Page A17

Though multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Taj Mahal’s career began more than four decades ago with American blues, he has broadened his artistic scope over the years to include music representing virtually every corner of the world. What ties it all together is his insatiable interest in musical discovery. Over the years, his passion and curiosity have led him around the world, and the resulting global perspective is reflected in his music. Blues Legend Taj Mahal with opening guests Shemekia Copeland is on Tuesday, April 30 at the Alix Goolden Performance Hall, 907 Pandora St. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., with the show at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at hightideconcerts.net. llavin@vicnews.com

“I talked to people who are still opposed (to women’s education). But I talked to kids of Taliban commanders who support the idea of women’s education. That shows big changes,” he said. Abbas plans to travel to Birmingham, U.K., next month to interview Malala, and then back to Pakistan to finish shooting and editing his documentary, titled Malala: A Girl from Paradise. Malala, who has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, is living in Birmingham under guard, attending school and undergoing medical treatment for her injuries. Abbas fled to Canada in 2002 after being imprisoned and tortured, he said, under the regime of Pervez Musharraf. He had worked as a journalist for major daily newspapers, and continued to do so in Canada. These days Abbas works as a stringer for BBC Urdu service and consults for papers such as the New York Post. He self-funded his first round of filming Pakistan – “God bless a line of credit and a credit card.” This time around he is running an Indiegogo campaign to raise $20,000. He plans to debut the film in Canada this September, although it remains uncertain where. Abbas said he plans to screen it in Victoria this year. He also said he has a “Plan B” to have the film edited and distributed in the event he is killed in Pakistan. “No matter what happens to me, this film will come to life, it will come to the world,” Abbas said. “God forbid if something happens to me, people will see this film.” Check out malala-film.com.

As the Idle No More movement continues to resonate across Canada and abroad, a local conference aims to focus on practical solutions to the problems facing First Nations and the federal and provincial governments. “Singing a New Song: Creating a Renewed Relationship with First Nations” takes place at the Church of St. John the Divine (1611 Quadra St.), April 26 and 27, and features several leading Aboriginal researchers and stakeholders who are creating real change.

“It’s an opportunity for those of us who are not First Nations to listen, to open our minds and reflect and engage with really impressive First Nations activists and scholars,” said organizer John McLaren. The reasons behind the Idle No More movement are complex, he said, but there are practical solutions that have already reinvigorated First Nations communities and economies. “One of the things you see in indigenous groups is tremendous poverty, but at the same time, my experience is you also see a tremendous resilience and adaptation,” said Ana Maria Peredo, the director

of the Centre for Co-operative and Communitybased Economy and an international business professor at the University of Victoria. Through her years spent working with indigenous groups in Central and South America, Peredo understands how indigenous groups use economic development to benefit their family and neighbours, often at the expense of personal profit. “They’re becoming entrepreneurs to preserve their own way of life,” she said. “There’s a sense of concern for the collective.” Peredo hopes attendees take away that understanding, and see that there is more than one model for a thriving community. Other speakers include First Nations lawyer and Prof. John Borrows of the University of Minnesota, who will discuss his experiences and success fighting for Aboriginal rights in the court system, and human rights lawyer Robert Morales, a Cowichan Tribes member and lead negotiator with the Island’s Hul’quminum Treaty Group.

so far together, so it’s going well.” His dad Greg, a former pro in the Netherlands before he moved here, can be credited for passing the passion on to Aaron and elder brother Daniel, 16 and in Grade 11 at PCS. The brothers started playing competitively within a few months of each other just over three years ago. Daniel can smash the ball as well as any 16-year-old in Victoria. Nonetheless, he’s humbly conceded the brotherly rivalry is already in Aaron’s favour. “Aaron hits very consistently. Even though I hit with more strength and serve harder, he has adjusted to it,” Daniel said. “Our games were pretty close until the last eight months. Now (Aaron) can beat me more often.” It was actually Daniel, a certified coach, who helped jumpstart the Pacers tennis team this season with Grade 12 Nina Radisavljevic. “(Daniel and Nina) came to me and said, ‘Hey can we do this?’” Stewart said. “There hasn’t been a team here for at least 19 years, and I’ve been hesitant to create one, because it’s not a recreational league. It’s pretty tough,” Stewart added. Most school players also play outside of school and are strong, but with Daniel and Aaron, the

larly partners with Aaron to form the Pacers’ mixed doubles team. As a coach, Daniel splits his time with the team between playing on Wednesdays and instructing the 12-member team with adult coach Chris Stewart, a former golf pro with plenty of tennis experience. “I know I don’t have as much experience as other coaches but it doesn’t affect me too much,” Daniel said. “I know what I do know, that I have some knowledge, and a lot of what we work on is basics.” The final week of school tennis wraps up next Wednesday (May 1), followed by the Lower Island championships May 6 to 8. sports@vicnews.com

Claremont’s German crew Pair of German speaking rowers leading Claremont to Brentwood Travis Paterson News staff

Kevin Light Photography

Vivien Leutz, an international student from Germany, looks ahead of her boat in the Senior A womens double with Sofia Donnecke, partially seen. They won the recent Maple Bay Regatta event by 17 seconds.

Vivien Leutz couldn’t imagine going a year without rowing. It was a key factor helping the the foreign exchange student from Frankfurt, Germany, choose to Claremont secondary over other schools. But as strong as Claremont secondary’s rowing program reputation has become, she had no idea there was a rowing academy. Or that it is led by world champion Kevin Light for a coach. “I thought there was a small rowing team which has practice sometimes after school,” Leutz said. She soon learned about the rowing academy and changed all of her courses to make it work. “(Students) told me Kevin was our coach, an Olympic gold medalist. I couldn’t believe it. I was very excited to meet him.” Leutz crews a senior women’s double with locally produced Sofia Donnecke, who started rowing at Royal Oak middle school. They are two of the premier rowing athletes at the school. They’ve gone head

to head in the singles, finishing first and second at the Maple Bay regatta recently, and dominated in the double, winning it at the Shawnigan and Maple Bay regattas this season. “We have not had many races yet,” Light said. “But they are both very competitive with each other in the single sculls and match up really well in the double (scull, two oars each) or pair (sweep, one oar each).” Clearly Leutz is no slouch. A surprise for the Claremont academy, Leutz has competed at the German youth championships. So it goes for Donnecke, who raced to the second in the Western Canada junior women’s (under-19) trials in Burnaby on Saturday. It’s put Donnecke on the national radar. And now Leutz and Donnecke, both in Grade 11, are hoping to peak this season at the Canadian Rowing High School Championships held in St. Catherines in June. “I can’t wait for St. Catherines,” Leutz said. Leutz can sometimes be shy about her grasp of the English lan-

guage and her rowing abilities which made partnering with Donnecke all the better. “Actually it’s no big deal because I’m (originally) from Germany and speak German, and (Leutz) can already speak English well,” Donnecke said. “Leutz is really good at rowing. In Germany they train mostly in the singles, so she has great technique. She tries hard and she’s a great person to train with.” The type of attitude Leutz has brought to the academy’s daily rowing training is more like that of a university or national team athlete, Light said. “Leutz prefers actually rowing on the water than training on the ERG (rowing machine), as is the case with most rowers,” Light said. “But her attitude and determination has allowed her to overcome some of the fears about the rowing machine she brought with her from Germany.” This weekend (April 26 to 28) is a major event, the Brentwood Bay regatta, attended by U.S. schools. sports@vicnews.com

4980 Wesley Rd., Saanich Please Note: Suggestive Language Used

A census is taking place this Saturday, but humans won’t be counted. Searching, scouring and peeking under stones and in mushrooms, a team of biologists and amateur experts hope to find more than 1,000 species in Metchosin for the annual BioBlitz. A bioblitz is an intense period of time when people attempt to count every species within an area. The first year about 850 species were recorded and last year the number reached 950. This year a wish list of 300 vascular plants was drawn up in hopes of finding species that are most likely in the district. Geyer’s onion is one species that biologists know is at Tower Point at Witty’s Lagoon but has yet to be recorded. “We are sending out the wish list with the experts,” said Kem Luther, a BioBlitz co-ordinator. “It’s just the names, the people who do this don’t need photos, they are all experts. Think of sending out a vascular plant SWAT team.” Sweet violets grow all over the district, but haven’t been tallied before. Luther figures it’s because they are so common everyone thinks someone else would have recorded them. Starting at 6 a.m. on Saturday the birders will be out followed by experts in moss, moth, lichen, fungi and many other creatures and plants. BioBlitz volunteers will meet at the Boys and Girls Club outdoor centre, 3900 Metchosin Rd. at 8:30 a.m. and 1 p.m., April 27. Anyone interested in volunteering can join.

Election issue: child care and early education

BERWICK ROYAL OAK

Invites SENIORS to enjoy ZarYevka Ballets

“The Man who Danced with Northern Lights”

Tom Fletcher Black Press

Child care policies offer a clear choice between the B.C. Liberals and the NDP in the May 14 provincial election. Premier Christy Clark wants to take a provincially funded savings account set up for each child born since 2007, and hand out $1,200 to parents who open a Registered Education Savings Plan to begin saving for postsecondary. That’s added to the B.C. Liberal “early years strategy” that includes full-day kindergarten, $142 million for child care subsidies, $34 million for “Success by Six” programs in 225 communities, and an additional $32 million promised over three years to help create new licensed child care spaces. NDP leader Adrian Dix has promised to cancel the RESP and other new spending, and redirect it to a “Family Bonus Program,” a direct subsidy of up to $70 per month, per child for low-income families starting in 2014. The NDP plan would pay the full amount to families with annual income of $25,000 or less, with payments decreasing on a sliding scale to families

FRIDaY, MaY 3rd - 7:00 p.m.

Black Press file photo

B.C. political parties have a wide range of ideas for care and education of young children. with income under $66,000. Applying to all kids under 18, the bonus program is projected to cost $210 million a year. Platform highlights: • The B.C. Conservative preelection platform offers no specific programs for child care or early childhood education. Its September 2012 policy document supports “the principle that parents are the child’s first and most important teachers.” • The B.C. Green platform promises to create “local child care trusts” monitored by the provincial government. Promised services include “child care, in-home support, emer-

gency and crisis services, a guaranteed livable income and safe and adequate housing.” The B.C. Green platform offers no costing estimate. • The B.C. Liberals would require school districts to promote use of school property by licensed child care providers from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays, and create a provincewide child care registry. • The B.C. NDP would immediately double earnings exemptions for employable income assistance recipients, and allow a further exemption for child maintenance payments. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

on stage in the Berwick Royal Oak Theatre “After so much wonderful feedback following our 2012 presentation of Peter & the Wolf, ZarYevka Ballet is excited to present a uniquely Canadian tale in 2013: “The Man who Danced with Northern Lights”, is a 45 minute narrated story ballet. Based on Baptiste Laroque’s 1923 “Legends of French Canada”. You will be delighted by this heart-warming coming of age story in which Jacques learns something about leadership, love and tale-telling.
