A planned strike by tugboat operators has been averted after two unions agreed to enter binding arbitration with Seaspan on Saturday. The International Longshore Warehouse Union Local 400 and Canadian Merchant Service Guild agreed to undergo negotiations with an appointed arbitrator. Once settled, the deal can’t be changed by either side. Seaspan tugboats dominate the waters around Greater Victoria. Seaspan says it needs unions to make concessions in order for the company to remain competitive.

OUR VIEW

Year-end strike is unethical B.C. teachers were expected to fall into a full-scale strike yesterday (Tuesday), after the News’ deadline. As local teachers contemplated strike action, the B.C. Teachers’ Federation will use it to exert “maximum pressure” on the provincial government. Should Victoria Student biggest decide not to cave in to loser as the BCTF’s demands – which it cannot – and province and come to shove, teachers’ union push teachers could be out cotnue spitting of their classrooms in the final weeks of the at each other school year. That is simply unconscionable, and unethical. Students across the province have already been negatively impacted by three weeks of rotating one-day teacher walkouts in every district. While the government has guaranteed final exam marking and grades, kids undergoing final lessons, year-end review, and in some cases, getting extra help in attaining the best marks possible in final unit tests and exams – top academics and learning challenged alike – have missed vital instructional time. This is certainly not “about the children,” as the BCTF insists. This is about a prolonged, self-serving spitting contest between the provincial government and one of the most militant unions in B.C. Staging a full-scale strike in the critical closing frames of a school year would be nothing more than deliberately detrimental for tens of thousands of public school children and teens who have already paid a price in this unacceptable battle. There is nothing about jeopardizing the achievement and enjoyment of this year’s crop of students – especially the Grade 12 grads – that is justifiable in principle or practicality. When this battle finally ends, these kids will be the losers. And that is just wrong. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@vicnews.com or fax 250-386-2624.

The success of our economy this year will depend on a few factors. A lower Canadian dollar is giving hope for improved tourism. The forestry and related manufacturing industries are also expecting another good year. These factors, together with assured public sector employment, should temper some uncertainty among home-buyers in Greater Victoria. However, high inventories and continued absence of retiree investors are likely to restrain price gains, as well as construction and development activity. In addition, if none of the proposed major projects get the go ahead this year, our economy will continue to be sluggish without the stimulation from these construction activities. ••• Chuck Chandler, a certified professional accountant, is a resident partner at Hayes Stewart Little & Co in Victoria.

Affordable Living for Independent Seniors

Property tax bump hard to swallow Victoria West property owners are being hit this year with a proportionately higher tax increase than the rest of the City of Victoria. I received my tax notice recently, and noted that in the attached mayor’s message, the average residential tax increase for the City is 2.75 per cent. However, my property tax increase, despite no material changes to my property, is a whopping 8.4 per cent compared to 2013. The root cause is the unequal increase in property assessments in Victoria West compared to the rest of the area. Whereas most of the city saw an average decrease in property assessments for single family homes of about 2.82 per cent, in Victoria West there is an average increase of 2.71 per cent. (Perhaps B.C. Assessment thought that having a proposed sludge factory nearby might increase our values?) Council approved an overall residential tax increase of 2.75 per cent. Victoria West property owners can expect a tax increase of about 8 to 9 per cent, about three times that of the rest of the city. B.C. Assessment is not yet finished with Victoria West – earlier this year they sent out mandatory surveys to 2,500

I suspect all my neighbours in Victoria West are seeing similar tax hikes, yet sadly we are seeing precious little increase in services or amenities in this area to justify this disparity.

Johnson Street Bridge editorial misses mark

Re: News editorial, May 21 Contrary to the theme of your May 21 editorial, the Johnson Street Bridge project has not more than doubled in cost since citizens approved a borrowing referendum several months after our council approved the replacement option over trying to fix the existing bridge, already well beyond its best before date. At time of the referendum, the projected cost of the bridge was about $77 million. The more recent budget at $92 million represents an increase of about 20 per cent, no small number, but nothing like the storyline promoted in your paper. Citizens of Victoria have faced no cost increases, as the borrowing referendum limited local tax exposure to about $49 million, and that

The reality of this complex project needs to be understood not so much as inflationary, but as changes in both scope and accounting that have added costs or included new works to managing the city’s assets and infrastructure. The earliest estimates may have been lower, but anyone who has read those initial reports will understand that it had no bike lanes, no trail connection for the Galloping Goose or the new E&N trail and none of the road works critics conveniently ignore when highlighting cost escalation. One of the first cautions expressed in the report advised the city not to use any numbers for budgeting purposes, conveniently forgotten by those with a different story to tell. After approval, several changes to the project emerged that have added costs, but any prudent council would have made the same decisions supported by a majority sitting at the current table. Other infrastructure costs should not be included in the bridge project. Editorial writers, of course, are entitled to their own opinions, but they are not entitled to their own facts.

feelings led to that realization? BM: It came completely out of the blue. I was 27 years old, a working pianist walking home from playing a dance class. And suddenly I knew I’d been a singer all along. But when you think about it, my whole life led up to it – everyone else in my family was a singer. I was just trying to be different. But the many years I spent at the piano were important too (and) opened up my ears to ways of spelling out or suggesting harmony. That day, though, suddenly I could just hear what I wanted to do. Took me years of practice after that, but it was all there in my head. NN: How does your spirituality fit into the creation of your art and how would you define your spirituality? BM: Faith is central to my life. I couldn’t do anything without it. And for me, all music is prayer.

With an analytical mind and a cheerful disposition, Liptrot has been working with the Royal Bank of Canada for 40 years. So when the bank announced it wanted to celebrate Liptrot’s landmark anniversary with a special party, he decided to host the celebration at Our Place Society. Rounding up a dozen of his fellow bank managers, along with his friend, Mayor Dean Fortin, Liptrot donated and served breakfast to the less fortunate on June 11. “I’ve been very lucky to work for such a wonderful institution for most of my life,” said Liptrot . “And I’ve always believed in giving back. “I don’t need a big party when I know the family members at Our

"Given the right opportunities, people are more inclined to add a little bit extra, and we're working closely with other city departments to knock down the silos a little bit to get things done efficiently and effectively," he said. Bruce becomes the 33rd fire chief of the 123-member Victoria Fire Department after Jeff Lambert stepped down in May following an extended medical leave. The new chief said modern firefighting has been complicated by the number of high-rise buildings constructed in downtown Victoria over the past two decades. "We have just about every kind of building construction that exists in the downtown

A Victoria resident since 1978, Bruce has been with Victoria Fire Department since 1993 and progressively worked his way up the ranks, most recently holding the position of deputy fire chief. He previously served as a marine engineer with the Royal Canadian Navy. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Fire hall needs replacing One of the most pressing tasks is the required replacement of Fire Hall No. 1 at 1234 Yates St., where Chief Paul Bruce keeps an office. In September, an infrastructure assessment revealed three city-owned assets – Crystal Pool, Fire Hall No. 1 and the Bay Street Bridge – are in desperate need of upgrading. The city employed a consultant for $30,000 last month to identify and rank options on potential new station locations, expected to cost about $18 million plus land costs. The original fire hall building, across the street from Fire Hall No. 1 at 1240 Yates St. will be vacated this summer by Boys and Girls Club of Greater Victoria and could present an opportunity.
