Saanich cleans up after early winter storm Record rain, wind falls trees, floods roads Edward Hill News staff
Last weekend’s winter storm snapped at least 21 trees across Saanich, but its likely more are snagged and remain a danger in parks and on private land. Saanich parks manager Rae Roer said six trees on private property and 15 on public land went down, with their trunks either snapping or roots pulled from the earth. Another 30 calls came in about branches blocking roads and hitting power lines.
A lone resident reported that a tree damaged their shed, but otherwise the municipality suffered little property damage. “It’s been a busy time for our guys going out in the torrential rain, but they’re happy to see the sunshine (Tuesday) and to get caught up,” Roer said. “But we expect to get a flurry of calls (about trees) from people getting out into the parks and trails again.” People walking in forested areas need to be mindful of half-fallen trees caught in branches and are asked to report trees to Saanich parks that could be a hazard. Waterfront neighbourhoods of Cordova Bay, Gordon Head and Ten Mile Point suffered the most wind damage, but Roer said calls came from across the municipality.
“It was a substantial event. It came early in the year,” Roer said. “We always get some challenges in the winter, but in terms of storms this was a good one. Hopefully this is it for the year.” Saanich public works manager Mike Ippen said at least 70 roadways experienced flooding on Monday due to debris blocking stormwater catch basins. Water flooded a few basements, but the pools mainly formed on roadways around plugged drains, he said. "There was a lot of rain in south Saanich on Monday. Most of the calls came from that," Ippen said. "(The storm) wasn't that big, but it was a lot of rain in a short period of time."

The weekend storm dumped the most rain recorded in Saanich for the past eight or nine years. The weather station at Colquitz middle school registered 40 mm of rain on Sunday, a record for September since measurements began in 2006. Monday saw 30 mm of rain, which at times hit 10 mm per hour and wind hit gusts of 70 km/h.

Woman pulled from burning car after crash
Gillian and Bill Thomas-Martin keep connected with their childhoods by collecting toys and memorabilia, such as the A-Team van on the left. Bill also creates Cube Dudes, cubic recreations of characters from popular culture, which he will sell at the Ultimate Toy and Hobby Show, this Sunday at Pearkes arena.
Edward Hill News staff
Bystanders pulled a woman from a burning car Tuesday after what police suspect was an intentional two-vehicle collision on McKenzie Avenue. Witnesses told Saanich police two vehicles were racing through traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway en route to Victoria at around 11:20 a.m. A black Honda Accord driven by a 33-year-old woman and a silver SUV driven by a 45-year-old man exited the highway onto Tillicum Road, drove through a plaza parking lot to Burnside Road and wound their way to McKenzie Avenue. Police allege the Accord intentionally rammed the SUV on McKenzie near St. Joseph’s school, and then careened into another passing car. The Accord caught on fire and the woman was trapped inside, police say, but two bystanders came to her rescue. “Her car was engulfed in fire when emergency services arrived,” said Saanich police Sgt. Steve Eassie. “Time was of the essence and the two people were extremely helpful to her.” The woman remains in hospital with serious but non life-threatening injuries. The man in the SUV had minor injuries, police say, and the person in the third damaged vehicle was unharmed. Investigators suspect the incident is a domestic dispute and the two people know each other, Eassie said. Police are still seeking and interviewing witnesses to piece together the events and circumstances surrounding the collision. No charges have been laid. “What initially looked like a twovehicle collision has turned into a much bigger investigation,” Eassie said. Anyone who saw a black Honda Accord and a silver SUV racing in the Burnside-Tillicum area Tuesday around 11:20 a.m. is asked to call Saanich police at 250-475-4321. editor@saanichnews.com

Big kids, with big allowances Vintage toys and childhood connections drive collector subculture Edward Hill News staff
If the beach-ball sized Lego Death Star doesn’t catch your eye, the illuminated statue of Lex Luthor towering over a fallen Superman just might. The home of Bill and Gillian Thomas-Martin is a tidy shrine and ever-expanding museum of toys and pop-culture collectables from bygone eras. Justice League action figures, Hot Wheels cars in original packaging, Stars Wars models and boxy 1960s robots line shelves in about every space in their home. Aquaman has his own place of honour in the downstairs washroom.
“It’s probably easier talking about what we don’t collect,” says Bill, a 36-year-old native of Colwood. The pair are part of the subculture of adults who enjoy keeping one foot firmly rooted in their childhood with corny and vintage toys that keep value through pure kitsch appeal. Bill lists off obscure 1980s action figures populating their substantive collection – MASK (Mobile Armored Strike Kommand), COPS (Central Organization of Police Specialists), and Smurfs – but it’s He-Man that’s captured his heart. He-Man, his buddies and enemies were the toys shared among his six siblings, but his mom sold the collection at a garage sale about a decade ago. “It was a bit of a last-minute decision. She wanted them out of the house. I had to buy it all back,” Bill says. “My collection is actually bigger now than when we were kids.” Hundreds of He-Man figures from 1983 onward now populate
FALL STYLE TIP
an entire bookshelf. Bill admits that He-Man isn’t a genre highly coveted by collectors now. “I like to root for the underdog, I like things people consider lame. I’m building an army to prove they’re not lame,” he jokes. The same goes for collecting Aquaman, the great underachiever of the Justice League. “People think he’s lame,” Gillian says. “He doesn’t have a blockbuster movie, but he does talk to fish.” Gillian, 31, started collecting comics and action figures in her teens as a way to bond and relate to her older brother. She is slowly building a collection of vintage robots – think offspring of Robby the Robot – but its the original A-Team B.A. Baracus van, still in its red packaging, that has the wow factor. “I saw the A-Team van at the first toy fair we went to. I had to have it and it was totally worth it,” she says. “We spent a lot of money that day. “I find it interesting to look
at the pieces and being surrounded by them,” Gillian adds. “It’s like being little kids with bigger allowances. We’re not being irresponsible, we own our own house. Our disposable income just goes to toys.” Bill and Gillian are gearing up for the Ultimate Toy and Hobby Show at Pearkes arena, the twiceannual gathering of comic, curio and vintage toy collectors organized by Cherry Bomb Toys. The duo sells Bill’s creation, the handmade Cube Dudes – superheroes and iconic characters reimagined as cubed “dudes,” made of construction paper. He’s made 250 over the past few years and has cultivated a small following. “I started scrapbooking, (Bill) started creating 3-D people and it went from there,” Gillian says. “He thinks outside the box, no pun intended.” The Ultimate Toy and Hobby Show is Sunday, Oct. 6, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Pearkes arena.

International enrolment soars at Camosun College Overall student numbers in decline Don Descoteau News staff
International students are choosing to attend Camosun College in greater numbers than ever. Figures released Tuesday by the college show that more than 800 students from other countries are registered at Camosun this fall, which reflects an increase of nearly 36 per cent
over last year. The announcement was made in conjunction with the opening of an expanded Interurban campus office for Camosun International, which supports incoming international students and helps facilitate studies abroad for Canadian students. “Our business, (English as a Second Language) and technology programs at Interurban have shown strong growth, driving the need for enhanced services at Interurban campus,” Camosun International director Geoff Wilmshurst said in a release. Five new staffers have been added to the Interurban office,
OOOPS!
bringing the total there to nine. The department's Lansdowne campus office has a staff of 11. The increase in international students comes at a time when overall enrolment at the college appears to be falling. Camosun’s total enrolment has dropped by more than a thousand students over the past three years, down to 18,698 for the 2012-13 year. The registration total for fulltime equivalent students is also trending downward, dropping from a recent high of 10,511 in 2009-10 to 9,608 during the last school year. ddescoteau@vicnews.com

Saanich tech startup among the best in B.C. Edward Hill News staff
A Saanich-based high-tech company nabbed third place and $42,000 at the B.C. Innovation Council New Ventures competition for B.C. technology startups. SmartPager Systems, based at the DataTech Business Centre, has developed a secure, cloudbased system that allows heath professionals to communicate and exchange confidential patient information on smartphones. The system, among its many goals, is meant to replace the antiquated paging system still used by many doctors. “We are really proud to represent Victoria and the tech community here,” said Ben Moore, who founded SmartPager with Mike Ferguson. “It’s really good validation for the business. They recognize we are fixing a real problem with a real market need. We’ve been in contact with institutional investors because of the competition.” The BCIC New Ventures competition started with 147 tech companies and had four elimination rounds to select five winners. Vancouver-based Vonigo took first and $107,000. Indus-

Saanich-based engineers Mike Ferguson and Ben Moore have created a system called SmartPager that allows medical professionals to communicate through their smartphones. Their company won third prize in a B.C.-wide tech competition. trial Plankton, based near Sidney, took fourth and $20,000. “I think (the judges) saw how far we’d come with so little, and had really turned the volume up,” Moore said. “They basically said we’d be a $50 million company within the next seven years.” SmartPager launched its smartphone paging system with a group of 85 doctors in Phoenix, Ariz., in January. It’s since expanded to large and medium sized medical practices, 20 to
100 doctors, in New York, Philadelphia, and a number of centres in Texas. On this side of the border, SmartPager is also being piloted in Vancouver General Hospital, Moore said. The company has five employees in Victoria and plans to ramp up hiring and expansion going onto 2014. “We plan to take our early successes and build within the U.S. market and pursue partnerships with wireless carriers and healthcare,” Moore said.

Paying the price for infrastructure M
ost residents in Greater Victoria want public swimming pools that aren’t rusting, fire halls that won’t collapse in an earthquake, and bridges and roads that aren’t crumbling. Those are normal expectations for a relatively wealthy urban centre, but the repair bill faced by Victoria property owners is beyond daunting. The City of Victoria’s asset management report released this week outlined the crisis: tens of millions of dollars are needed in a few short years to repair and upgrade amenities like the Crystal Pool, the Bay Street Bridge and a main fire hall. That doesn’t include niceties like bike lanes or imposed projects like regional sewage treatment, which on its own promises colossal tax hikes. The City of Victoria’s asset management report focuses on its own municipality, but it provides an illuminating reality check for our entire region. Each Capital Region municipality faces increasing pressure to provide services and amenities, to keep roads, bridges and parks in good standing, while keeping property tax hikes in check. Easier said than done. Most municipalities have more infrastructure maintenance at any given time than they can afford. Unlike their provincial and federal counterparts, municipalities can’t run deficits just to meet general operation costs, although they can borrow funds for specific capital projects. There’s also no economic boom on the horizon that municipalities can bank on (again unlike the province and its plans to capitalize on liquid natural gas). As pointed out by Jordan Bateman of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation: “it’s a bad time to be a Victoria property taxpayer.” Looming tax increases from regional sewage will likely max out residents’ taxation capacity for years to come. Given the limited leeway for municipalities to raise revenue, the province should give serious consideration to a Union of B.C. Municipalities proposal to share more revenue with cities during economic boom times. That could be one part of the solution. In the meantime, municipal politicians and citizens across Greater Victoria will face difficult choices on what gets fixed and what gets deferred to the tax bill of future generations.

But whenever you discuss government spending in the U.S., you can always fall back on that dependable old saw, “If the U.S. government just gave health care (or insert any program) a portion of the money it spends on the military …” It’s not the sustainability debate that puzzles me, it’s the vehemence with which opponents in the U.S. view health care. It’s the red scare of the 21st century, which, of course, has been raging since, well, the red scare of the 1950s and ’60s. It’s an ideological issue. Why do health-care opponents not want to offer health services to all or most of the U.S. citizens who can’t afford it? Why is that such a bad thing? Of course, the fear for Canadians about Republican antics is that our Conservatives start to get funny ideas. Luckily of course, we don’t have to shut down the federal government to get our way, the prime minister just has to prorogue Parliament.

More walkable communities add to affordability Re: Cost of living weighs heavily on Greater Victoria residents (vicnews.com) On Tuesday, housing affordability and the inherent cost of living were identified as top concerns of residents of the Capital Region. However, this region is not unique in identifying this concern in North America. Many individuals and governments are missing out on opportunities to reduce their respective operating costs. One of the most overlooked
aspects of why we have so much debt is our desire to have the suburban lifestyle with two or more cars. With urban sprawl we have created a situation where we need to drive to conduct our daily activities. A recent StatsCan report indicated that in Canada we spend 18 per cent of our disposable income just on transportation and a further 30 per cent on housing that often exceeds our size needs. What if we lived in more compact communities with higher density,
had more affordable transportation and lived in domiciles that match the size of our families and needs. This is the norm in Europe and Asia, where they spend much less on moving goods, services and people. The International Association of Public Transport indicates that in European and Asian countries, five to eight per cent of GDP is spent on transportation, respectively. We spend 13 per cent in North America. Average household debt in
Readers respond: 9/11 theory debunked Taking aim at reader’s 9/11 building theory Re: 9/11 explanation needs to be revisited (Letters, Sept. 27) I was disappointed to learn that the stale and long debunked conspiracy theory regarding the collapse of World Trade Center Tower 7 appears to remain alive and well. It is difficult to know where to begin, but I shall address three of the fallacies raised by Mr. Burchill’s credulity as follows: 1) “During Tower 7’s collapse, characteristics of controlled demolition were plainly evident.” Not so. The tower did not, as claimed, “collapse into its own footprint;” quite the contrary in fact. In actuality, it tilted and twisted to one side as it fell and parts of the building severely damaged two neighbouring buildings. 2) “… scientists found residue of the type of explosives and incendiaries used in controlled demolitions …” Mr. Burchill fails to point out that his fellow conspiracy theorists claim that thermite, or a derivative, (thermate, nanothermite etc.) was used in order to
topple the tower quietly. Thermite, although its ignition is extremely hot, is simply not practical for carrying out a controlled demolition and there is no documentation of it ever having been used for that purpose. 3) “The tower fell straight down into its own footprint, at free-fall acceleration …” Again, simply not true; at the start of the collapse, materials fell at no more than two-thirds gravity (32 feet per second/per second) and by the end of the event at barely one-third g. As stated, the foregoing addresses only three of the many flaws in Mr. Burchill’s argument. For those people who are interested in learning more about this topic, I recommend a succinct argument of the issue, “The 9/11 Truth Movement: The Top Conspiracy Theory a Decade Later,” by Dr. Dave Thomas. It appears in the July/August 2011 edition of The Skeptical Inquirer, from which elements of my letter have been shamelessly paraphrased. John C. Simpson Oak Bay
Canada hit a new high of almost 170 per cent of disposable income in 2012, a sizeable jump from 150 per cent in 2010, StatsCan reported. Former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney also warned about the dangers that household debt poses to the economy going forward. We can improve our economic and physical health by creating more compact walkable communities. The choice is ours. Avi Ickovich Langford

Getting high with Pedro Almodovar ROBeRT MOyeS arts@mondaymag.com
A
lthough it’s hard to get all that excited about the newest film from Oscarwinning Spanish director Pedro Almodovar, I’m So Excited! is a fun trip. Socially transgressive, shot in crayon colours and featuring outrageously campy performances and zesty pop music, it’s an amusing echo of his provocative 1980s output. Mostly set aboard a passenger jet that has to make an emergency landing it may not survive, Excited has an interesting cast of characters who slowly get out of control. Leading the way is a trio of gay stewards who serve all the business-class passengers a highly alcoholic punch augmented with several caps of mescaline to lighten the mood. Whether it’s the aging dominatrix who fears assassination because she’s a blackmail threat to her coun-
try’s most powerful men, or the bisexual pilot who’s been carrying on with the lead steward, this plane is carrying lots of secret … and a full cargo of crazy. Several storylines are slowly fleshed out, amidst lots of sexually explicit shenanigans that are vintage Almodovar, most riotously when the trio of cabin attendants play the Pointer Sister’s I’m So Excited over the P.A. while exuberantly miming the song like transvestite cabaret performers. The movie is a cheeky salute to human sexuality (and, being by Almodovar, could just as easily have been titled I’m So Gay!). Funny but also a bit forgettable, Excited is a minor satirical work by a major director. That said, the performances are uniformly excellent, and the direction and visual flair are classic Almodovar. Be aware, though, that conservative-minded viewers may be discomfited by the film’s gleefully uninhibited sexual content. Rating: ★★★
PERFECTlY POTABlE: With Almodovar in mind let’s uncork a Dinastia Vivanco 2008, a plummy Rioja from Spain’s best wine-producing region. After 16 months of aging in heavily toasted oak barrels, this supple, medium-bodied red is a classic, with notes of cinnamon, chocolate and coffee emerging from a ripe core of black cherry and black currant fruit. Worth the splurge at $21.

TV time for Bulldogs Bulldogs will use bye to ‘get sorted’ Travis Paterson
Bringing the rain
News staff
The junior and senior varsity Belmont Bulldogs football teams will spend their bye weekend getting back to basics. The next senior varsity game is in Vancouver against the Notre Dame Jugglers on Friday, Oct. 11. The juniors have two straight byes, which actually works out, says coach Kevin Harrington. “It’s not normally ideal to have two byes but it is for our juniors right now as we’re just adding a few guys in still. We’re at 19 now and hoping for a few more, and need to get them all up to speed.” The senior team will watch film from the 35-13 loss to the New Westminster Hyacks last week. “We need to get back to basics. We came out flat against New West. I’m hoping to get that sorted out against Notre Dame next week,” Harrington said. The Bulldogs scored twice against the Hyacks as wide receiver Adam Philp caught a touchdown pass and Sam Varao rushed for the other major. sports@vicnews.com

Taking UVic lacrosse to the next level Travis Paterson News staff
Victoria is a hotbed for Canada’s national summer sport of box and field lacrosse. But our “national” sport is hardly that at the university level. However, a group of student athletes at UVic are looking to change things. The UVic Lacrosse Club, a nonvarsity registered club, host UBC on Saturday for the second annual Ice Breaker Series at the UVic turf field. There will be two games, noon and 3 p.m. “UBC is in the same boat we are. They play us annually and we’re trying to add games with them next semester. They’re headed to Edmonton later this month for another game but we’re not ready for that yet,” said Ian Paone, chairman of UVic field lacrosse. Paone grew up here and played hundreds of hours of field lacrosse in the Claremont secondary academy before playing one season for
Simon Fraser University, the only varsity lacrosse program in Canada west of Ontario. He left SFU and – after a few years at Whistler – returned to Victoria to go to UVic. “I still wanted to play lacrosse,” he said, “and we’re hoping to make a new league of club lacrosse teams in western Canada.” The field version of the game thrives in American universities and is a popular sport with B.C. youth. Many UVic students have played the game growing up, Paone said. Six universities would make up the new Western Canadian University Lacrosse League: University of Calgary, University of Alberta, University of Lethbridge, University of Saskatchewan, UBC and UVic. Each has a club already, and Paone hopes the league can take off in future years, and perhaps reach the same level as the Canadian University Field Lacrosse League (Ontario and Quebec) and Maritime University Field
Travis Paterson/News staff
Midfielder Ian Paone, chairman of the UVic Lacrosse Club, will be on the field when the club hosts UBC for two games on Saturday. Lacrosse League. The model would be similar to the successful B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League, a 10-team league which UVic is part of. “Eventually we want to get under
the same umbrella of Ontario and Quebec and the Maritimes and, have the winners of each play for a national championship.” A Western league is still in the preliminary stages however and
this weekend’s games against UBC are the primary focus of the day. “We have a core group of guys really committed plus a few more who show up here and there so we’ve got pretty good numbers,” Paone said. “Our women’s team is coming along too with about 10 players.” UVic lacrosse is recruiting players of all levels for both teams. The Victoria Women’s Field Lacrosse League donated a set of sticks to UVic’s women’s team meaning new players need only proper running shoes to come and try the sport. Practice time for the women is 2:30 to 4 p.m. on Mondays on the UVic turf. Practice time for the men is 8 to 8 p.m. for the men on Sunday nights. UVic lacrosse hosts a fundraiser at Touch Lounge on Saturday night. Tickets are $5 – half the normal price to get in – and proceeds go to the team. Email Ian for tickets at fieldlax@uvic.ca. sports@vicnews.com
Roadrunners serve early notice Sharon Tiffin/News staff
Reynolds Roadrunner power hitter Alexis Duval was a tournament all-star at the UBC Invitational on Sept. 20.
Rob Basi has coached Reynolds Roadrunners volleyball for more than 20 years and is counselling one of the surprise teams this season. The senior boys Roadrunners won the recent University of B.C. Invitational, coming first in a field of 40 teams. “It’s the first time we’ve won a tournament like this,” Basi said. In pool play the Roadrunners dusted Yale, Eric Hamber, Van Tech and Credo Christian in two straight sets. Then came a top-16 win over Gladston, a quarterfinal win over Claremont, 15-12 in the tie-
breaker third set, before a semifinal win against Steveston-London and final win over Delta. “It’s been a while since we had a strong team but (many senior boys teams) are strong. Belmont (Bulldogs) have a group that’s been together for five years, Oak Bay is always skilled and had a nice win over Belmont at the Camosun tourney, and Claremont is faring well.” At the heart of the Roadrunners is a good core of Grade 11s who had an exceptional junior season last year where they finished second at the Mennonite Educa-
tional Institute tournament in Abbotsford and won the Vancouver Island University tournament in Nanaimo. Among the Grade 11 group is setter David Lee, who, in Basi’s eyes, should have been named the UBC tournament MVP. Lee and Grade 12 power hitter Alexis Duval, who brings much needed height to the team at 6-foot-3, were named to the UBC tournament all-star team. “We’re still not polished, we need to work on the little things,” Basi said. sports@vicnews.com

Rams offence puzzles Jugglers School Running back Marcus Davis scored three touchdowns in the first quarter as the Mount Douglas Rams scored early and often with a 54-0 win over the Notre Dame Jugglers at Westhills Stadium on Friday (Sept. 27). The Rams (2-0) continue the high school football season with a road game versus the Vancouver College Fighting Irish on Saturday. Davis ran in 35- and 64-yard touchdowns and caught a 30-yard TD reception from quarterback Ashton MacKinnon all in the first frame. MacKinnon finished eight-for-nine in pass attempts, totalling 180 yards and touchdown throws, plus a 21-yard touchdown run. He connected with Ross Faulkner on the other TD pass. Joe Clarke threw a TD pass to Ryan Yeske. Julian Luis rushed six times for 107 yards and a touchdown. Pato Vega also ran in a TD and Callum Duke kicked six of seven converts. sports@vicnews.com
Lambrick Lions crowned with No. 1 ranking It’s early but the Lambrick Lions are so far deserving of its Oct. 1 ranking as the top AA girls volleyball team in the province. The Lions are no strangers to being among the top teams but it’s been a couple years since they were in the provincial gold medal final. In its first two league games the Lions swept both the Stelly’s Stingers and Mount Douglas Rams in three straight sets, part of the new best-of-five model being used in senior girls league play. The Lions also performed well at the UBC Invitational back on Sept. 20 and 21, making it into the final against Neelin from Brandon, Man., that province’s reigning provincial champs. Two of the Lion’s wins came against top-ranked B.C. schools, the No. 1-ranked AAA Timberline and No. 1-ranked AAAA Kelowna Christian, as well as last year’s AA champs Kalamalka. sports@vicnews.com
