Walking through Cadboro-Gyro Park, nearby resident and park user Elizabeth Borek gestures to the dirt and gravel pathways bordering the playground and promenade. “Why can’t they just leave it the way it is?” she asks. “Why does it have to be black asphalt?” The park is currently being upgraded after several years of public consultation, and the approved plans ruffled the feathers of quite a few area residents. The upgrades to the park include relocating the iconic playground equipment – like the giant octopus – onto more stable ground, improving drainage and realigning and upgrading pathways to allow greater accessibility for walkers, wheelchairs, strollers and motorized scooters.

Jumper aims for full health at Games Track star looks ahead to BC Senior Games Travis Paterson News staff
As he sorts through a dinner table covered in medals, 75-year-old Les East explains how he can compete in a dozen or so track and field events each year. His medals – about 150 of them – are grouped into bunches of threes or fours, and sometimes more, as he enters into multiple events at every Games he attends – not just his specialities: the triple jump, high jump and long jump. Arizona, Utah, California and Nevada read prominently in the crest of the medallions. Some years there’s more events and some-

to throw the hammer, earning an automatic gold for that category. “It’s something I’ve really accepted. When I first started competing (in 2004) I really wanted to win, but now I’m most excited about having people there to compete against. That’s what matters most,” East says. Thusly, he has pushed a box brimful of first place blue ribbons to the side of the dinner table. He won’t be sorting them. “The ribbons are from some of the smaller track and field competitions on the Island or around B.C. It’s great to have them, but the truth is the smaller events are often without a deep field of competition so many of my first place ribbons can be misleading.”

times other events get in the way, such as his October favorite, the Huntsman World Senior Games in Utah. East will skip it this year, as he and wife Betty will instead be with their son and daughter-in-law to welcome the arrival of a grandson. “We have an RV based in Arizona, which we use to attend these Senior Games,” the Saanich man says. “We’re big-time snowbirds.” The couple recently celebrated 50 years of marriage, though there’s no medal for that achievement, but there is a series of wedding photos on the Easts’ mantle. Last weekend they rode their bikes onto the Coho ferry and East competed in the Washington State Senior Games in Olympia. He won bronze in the shot put and discus, two events with plenty of competition. And as it happens, he was the only male in the 75-to-79 age group

Province to compensate parents e m o c o d if BCTF strike drags into September Starst at nighrtdens a Drew McLachlan News staff
The president of the Greater Victoria Teachers’ Association is in “shock” over the B.C. government’s plan to pay parents $40 a day if the teachers’ strike continues into fall. But Benula Larsen remains hopeful for a resolution to the ongoing labour dispute. Last week Finance Minister Mike de Jong announced that if the teacher strike isn’t settled by September, the B.C. government would use the payroll savings to pay $40 per missed school day to parents of children under 13. “What we’ve been expecting is for them to accept mediation,” said Larsen. The $40 a day is meant to cover the cost of daycare or tutoring for younger children, while the province’s answer for older students is to use “online options” to maintain their studies if the labour disputes continue. De Jong said older children don’t require as much supervision, and have online options to maintain their studies if the labour dispute takes more instructional time away. The amount was chosen to compensate families of 300,000 children up to age 12 in public school at no net cost to the provincial budget. The potential program would be funded by the $12 million a day in salary that teachers will not be receiving during the strike. De Jong reiterated that there is no plan to recall the B.C. legislature before a fall session scheduled to begin Oct. 6. He said the history of imposed of settlements on the BCTF may have contrib-

The ALS Cycle of Hope starts tomorrow. Saanich residents Richard and Laura Cook, along with Black Press reporter Arnold Lim, begin their journey from Kamloops to Keremeos on Aug. 7, raising money and awareness for families living with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
They join nine other riders from around Greater Victoria who have been training since March in preparation for the one-week journey that will see them ride more than 500 km from Kamloops to Keremeos, Aug. 7-13.

uted to the chronic failure to negotiate agreements with the union. “The Liberal government’s focus should be entirely on getting our schools running again and improving learning for our kids,” said Victoria Swan Lake MLA Rob Fleming, the NDP’s Rob Fleming education critic. “Every penny saved from the school shutdown should stay in our public education system to make that happen.” BCTF president Jim Iker termed the move “a blatant and divisive attempt to prolong disruption in B.C. schools” and renewed his call for a mediator to help bridge the differences between the government and the union. Parents would have to register online to be eligible for compensation, to be paid by October. Four weeks still remain before classes are scheduled to open again, and Larsen said she remains hopeful a resolution can still be made. “I’m a mother as well, and I’d rather my child be back in school in September than receiving child care from the government,” she said. “Hopefully this will force trustees to push the government into a corner.” - with files from Tom Fletcher

OUR VIEW
Douse that cigarette Last week the Coastal Fire Centre ordered a ban on open burning (including campfires) throughout a region that includes Victoria and its surrounding parks and forests. The aim is to prevent human-caused fires from diverting resources from other parts of the province where they are desperately needed. Currently there are more than a dozen significant fires burning in the province, with some forcing people from their homes. So far, Vancouver Island has been spared any major fire. In our area, we’ve had a few grass fires. But none of us should be fooled into thinking the forest fire risk is any less serious here. The campfire and open burning ban hopes to stem any accidental fires as people continue to enjoy the outdoors. It also bans fireworks, burn barrels and even “tiki torches.” But it can only go so far. It doesn’t stop the idiots who think a tossed cigarette will automatically extinguish itself once it leaves the car window. Or the ones who think butting out in a patio flower box, filled with bone-dry material, is a safe option. British Columbia has all too many examples of fires started through such carelessness. In 2003 the small town of Barriere was destroyed by fire, started by a tossed cigarette butt. Here in Victoria and Esquimalt, firefighters are routinely called out to douse bark mulch and grass fires that not only tap resources, but could pose an even greater threat if they get out of control. There are enough naturally occurring fires every year in B.C. We don’t need to add to that number through negligence and thoughtlessness.

As it fenced “dry” area, but I’m told hardly stands, farms are allowed to have a
winery or cidery, but not a brewery or distillery. Expect that to be changed as B.C. and other provinces strive to develop their craft beer and spirits industry, trying to emulate the tourism benefits that have come from an expanding wine industry. One area where the B.C. government has screwed up is its minimum pricing rules, introduced along with the overdue move to allow “happy hour” discounts in pubs. The minimum price of 25 cents an ounce for beer, 60 cents an ounce for wine and $3 an ounce for hard liquor was an effort to balance businessfriendly policy with legitimate public health concern about overconsumption. But the minimum beer price prompted protests from a few watering holes that had been selling pints or jugs of beer for slightly less. Some media made a big deal of this, and the government over-reacted to this tempest in a beer stein with an ill-thought-out cut in the minimum price to 20 cents an ounce – for beer in jugs only. The pub industry was not impressed with this bit of knee-jerk populism. Encouraging beer jug sales makes it difficult to see if someone at a table of revelers is being overserved, drinking most of the jug himself. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

LETTERS Kudos to a great, communityminded individual I would just like to report that on July 1 of this year, some thoughtless and inconsiderate rowdies celebrated Canada Day by smashing quite a few glass bottles on the walking path that connects the 1700block of San Juan to the 1800-block by the soccer fields. The next day, a young fellow by the name of Matt, who works at Township Coffee on the corner of Tyndall and San Juan, did something wonderful. When his shift was finished and he was leaving work, he saw the mess and voluntarily went back to his place of employment to get a broom and pail to clean it up. I would like to emphasize that the pathway is used by many children, and walkers of all sorts, and the broken glass constituted a definite hazard. Matt did not have to do what he did. He could have simply reported it (or ignored it), and it most likely would have been cleaned up by the municipality, at some point. In the meantime, any number of injuries could have resulted. I would like to recognize the generous act on Matt’s part and thank him for what he did. Richard Weatherill Saanich

Surviving spaniel needs a home Vikings take over
the region in August
Family wanted for pet of suspected homicide victim Travis Paterson News staff
Six-year-old Megan is a dog with a sad and mysterious story, having lived through one of the region’s most tragic incidents this summer. On July 20, Megan, a black cocker spaniel, was found at the scene of a suspected homicide in Sooke, where her owner Pam Dyer was killed. And now Megan’s ready for a new home. Often family or friends of a deceased will adopt their pets, but in this case Megan found her way to Saanich’s cocker spaniel rescue organization, Angels Under Our Wings. “We don’t know exactly what (Megan) went through during that time. She was actually found with blood on her fur. But all-in-all she’s doing really, really well,” said AUOW founder Lisa Atterby. “However, Megan does have some particular needs that demand the right fit with a potential owner.” Last summer Dyer, 64, took Megan into her home out of sympathy as Megan was then recovering from hernia surgery. Megan already had fear issues, but as the dog’s confidence grew, so did the bond between the pair Dyer adopted her permanently in October, which wasn’t necessarily the plan, Atterby said. “There’s still a little bit of anxiety with Megan. She paces a little bit in the morning, so perhaps there’s a morning routine that (Dyer) had with her so
we’re working through that and figuring it out. It just takes a little time,” Atterby said. Dyer had previously adopted a dog AUOW which passed away from cancer. Megan is one of three AUOW spaniels in need of a special home, though there are six more spaniels there. Salty and Autumn are the other special cases. Salty is a four-year-old male cocker who came from Vancouver Animal Control and Atterby has worked hard to gain his trust. “Salty needs a dog-savvy adoptive home that will work on earning his trust and help
socialize him with other people. Autumn is a petite five-year-old with a hyper-mature cataract limiting her vision in one eye.” Autumn will likely need surgery to treat the cataract on her other eye, and she’ll also need dental work, including the extraction of two teeth. Atterby is hoping to fundraise for operational costs for Autumn, which are approximately $3,000. To donate, adopt or learn more about on Angels Under Our Wings, call Lisa Atterby at 250-889-8880 or visit their website, angelsunderourwings.com

A four-unit apartment building donated to Victoria’s Threshold Housing Society will help alleviate the “appalling number” of homeless and at-risk youth in the city, says a housing official. Located in South Jubilee, the $725,000 building will be used as transitional housing for six homeless youth aged 16 to 24. The number of homeless youth in the region was estimated at 543 in a study conducted by the Community Social Planning Council in 2008. Threshold received more than 100 referrals last year. While the donor wished to remain anonymous, said society executive director Mark Muldoon, she had worked with at-risk youth for more than 20 years, and donated the building on the grounds that it be used to house homeless youth. “At-risk youth are a separate population,” Muldoon

said. “They have certain reasons for being on the street, and different barriers for getting off.” Threshold’s transitional housing operates on a longterm basis, with residents typically staying for 12 to 18 months. Along with providing living space, the society also works with youth to provide like-skill
training, such as cooking, budgeting and financial literacy. Muldoon said that due to previous abuse or neglect, many youth have developed a “massive mistrust” of adults, which Threshold aims to repair through counseling and talking circles. “We put an emphasis on selfesteem, which is the biggest obstacle for homeless youth,”
Muldoon said. “The best way to do that is to ensure safety, and make them feel included. Despite some of them claiming hundreds of friends on Facebook, loneliness is a huge problem.” Extensive renovations on the building will be carried out by HeroWorks, and is expected to open on Oct. 5. reporter@vicnews.com

Jellies are one of the most remarkable animals found in the global ocean and don’t suffer many predators. Jellies have been around for millions of years – what is their secret? Jellyfish do not have too many predators; I mean, who really wants to eat several pounds of tasteless jelly? Sharks, tuna, swordfish, sea turtles and other jellies are of their greatest concern.

Be Septic Savvy This Summer It’s not necessary to add anything to your septic system. There is no need for yogurt, raw chicken or hamburger, yeast or anything else other than what comes through our bodies naturally.
However, many of their predators are being over-fished, especially the tuna, sharks and swordfish; so with less predation, jelly numbers have increased. Plastic bags drifting in the ocean can resemble jellies gracefully pulsing away and turtles have been known to prey upon bags rather than
jellies by mistake. It is thought that jellies are taking advantage of humaninduced changes. For example, as humans add nutrients to the ocean through agricultural runoff (i.e. fertilizers), a process called eutrophication, these extra nutrients can cause phytoplankton blooms. If the excess phytoplankton do not get eaten, decomposition occurs, which uses up oxygen. Low oxygen zones, or hypoxic zones, have also seen an increase in jellies as they are more tolerant to changing ocean chemistry. This tolerance in jellies has also been seen with lowering ocean pH (i.e. more acidic) levels throughout the global ocean in response to increased CO2 in the atmosphere. These rather primitive and beautiful – but often deadly – creatures seem to have mastered being able to survive changing conditions. It is suggested that perhaps a global increase in jellies is something to pay attention to; a symptom the ecosystem is being altered.

Borek and several other members of the community and the Cadboro Bay Residents Association had expressed concerns multiple times to the Saanich parks department regarding the proposed design, including the use of asphalt and the width of the accessibility pathways. “They call it a path, I call it a road,” says Borek of the proposed five-metre path. “My brother was in a wheelchair, so I’m certainly supporting accessibility, but that’s overboard.” She says the paved pathways and hard surfaces in the proposed plan would ruin the park. “The very reason that people go there is going to be destroyed. I don’t want to see this park desecrated by black asphalt.” In response to concerns regarding using asphalt for the pathways, Gary Darrah, Saanich’s manager of park planning and design, explained to the CBRA board in an email that asphalt is “smooth, easy to install, durable, drains well and is inexpensive to maintain. In addition, it is fairly elastic and flexible which suits the ground conditions at

Caddy Bay Fest goes on, despite park construction Andrea Peacock News staff
Construction at Cadboro-Gyro Park is not going to stop the Cadboro Bay Festival, but it has prevented any expansion or introduction of new events at the Aug. 10 event. “We’re going to be going ahead with the event just in a smaller section of the park,” said Rob Phillips, special
events co-ordinator at Saanich Community Services. The featured event will be the five giant sand sculptures that will be created by world-class sculptors, said Phillips. One of the sand sculptures will be presented by Pepper’s Foods. “They are going to try and work off of the construction theme at the park [for their sand sculpture],” said Phillips. “I believe there’s going to be some marine life doing some

Athlete ‘hooked’ on track and field after 50-year competition hiatus Continued from Page A1
“I thought, ‘What the heck are all those grey-haired people doing?.’ The field was hopping busy with different track and field events. Nobody was watching.” Well, there will be plenty of people watching when East and many of his training partners with the Peninsula Track and Field Club attend the B.C. Senior Games in Langley, Sept. 9 to 13. The only drawback is East’s left knee, which is hampered by stretched ligaments. If it doesn’t heal by Sept. 9 he’ll be kept from two record attempts in the 75-79 age group for triple jump and
Soon after ’04 is when East was regularly competing in track and field meets for the first time since high school in Vernon. He was “hooked” after he made it onto the high jump podium at the 2005 World Masters Games in Edmonton. The super septuagenarian is driven, but he’s humble, too. East was in the Navy and flew a Sea King helicopter for 27 years. He was well into retirement when a decade ago he drove past the Senior Games going on in Chilliwack and “that was that.”
high jump. It’s his first year in that age bracket, as he owns the 70-74 B.C. records with 8.41 metres in the triple jump and a 1.3-metre high jump. Instead of jumping, he’s taken to throwing events until his knee can repair itself. He had a similar injury on the right knee a few years ago, which required surgery. In Langley, East will compete in the weight pentathlon, the hammer, shot put, discus, weight and javelin. Earlier this summer East won seven medals at the B.C. Masters Games (35 and up) in Kelowna, June 27 to 29. reporter@saanichnews.com
EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION
MLA Weaver inducted to prestigious fellowship Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA Andrew Weaver is part of a select group being inducted to the American Geophysical Union’s prestigious Fellowship. The AGU is recognized as the leading society of geophysicists, and Weaver’s recognition is based on his body of work with oceanography and his climate change work with the U.N. Weaver is the only Canadian to be included this year, one of 62 elected to the Fellowship in 2014. “I am deeply honoured to receive this honour and recognition from the American Geophysical Union. It is profoundly humbling to be recognized by my peers for my contributions to climate science over the last two decades.” Weaver said. “Now, more than ever we need research and science to inform policy deliberations as we seek to address the great environmental challenges of today.”

Swimmers jump off the dock at Banfield Park and into Gorge Waterway. The Gorge Swim Fest will be held on Sunday (Aug. 10).
Swim cleans up Gorge’s reputation Drew McLachlan News staff
As the Gorge Swim Fest enters its third year, society director Jack Meredith hopes to take the Gorge back to the turn of the 20th century, when thousands of Victorians spent the weekend soaking in the sun on the waterway. Swimming in the Gorge fell from favour in the 1940s, partly due to the appearance of swimming pools in Victoria, and as a result of becoming increasingly polluted. It wasn’t until 1996 that the Gorge became a priority again, with a cleanup campaign led by John Roe.
Presently, the beaches on the Gorge hold some of the lowest fecal coliform levels in Greater Victoria, according to the Vancouver Island Health Authority. Still, its reputation hasn’t been so easy to clean up. “The response from people is almost predictable,” Meredith said. “They’re surprised people are swimming there. I’m often asked ‘isn’t it dirty? Isn’t it cold?’ The water was 26 degrees the other day, that’s almost too warm to swim in.” Meredith said that a huge draw for swimmers is the Gorge’s proximity to town, and as it sees more and more use each summer, an expansion of infrastructure is due.
He cited a rejuvenation or removal of the seawall at Banfield Park, as well as an expansion of the dock at Esquimalt Gorge Park, as future possibilities. “I went down to Banfield Park (last Wednesday) and there so many people on the dock that it was to the point of congestion,” Meredith said. “Its starting to get really exciting for us.” The Gorge Swim Fest takes place Aug. 10, noon to 4 p.m. at Saanich, Gorge Banfield and Esquimalt Gorge parks. Following a “picnic in the park” theme this year, the festival will feature live music and food trucks in addition to swimming. reporter@vicnews.com

Some courses at the University of Victoria, for instance, focus on subjects most people wouldn’t immediately think of as academic, but delve into interesting aspects of modern society. The Fine Arts department offers a technology and society class on Mario versus Minecraft: The History of Video Games, as well as a new course on the representations of time travel in popular culture. In the Humanities department, students can choose to study motorcycle culture and literature. The English course looks at literature, Internet culture, movies, history and anthropological and sociological research, all relating to the two-wheeled vehicles that have long captured our imaginations.

History students can take an in-depth look at Hockey Night in Canada, a starting-off point for studying sports and their relationship to Canadian Identity. Such questions are posed as ‘Why do Canadians love hockey?’ and ‘How did specific sports over the course of our country’s history impact our perceptions of culture, class, gender and ethnicity in Canada?’ Another history course

The Backpacker’s Guide to European History teaches students the context and background to the art, architecture, monuments and historical sites they’re sure to come across overseas.

India Fest (Mela) Centennial Square
City Hall Downtown
Bigger and Better 5th Annual Mela celebrates Indian culture, music, dance & food. Head to Centennial Square to take in music, dance, fashion and food Aug. 8 to 10, 2014 This year the Mela is two and a half days of free events and performances celebrating the richness and diversity of India’s arts and culture. More than eight thousand visitors and spectators enjoy the Mela every year and they are thrilled every year by the modern and traditional performances including Bollywood music, internationally renowned Bhangra dances, fashion, palmistry, the art of henna and more, not to mention mouth-watering, Indian cuisine prepared with authentic and aromatic spices! And as Victoria’s premier multicultural event, performers include the internationally renowned Chinese Lotus Dancers, powerful Japanese Taiko Drummers, beautiful Polynesian Dancers and exotic Middle Eastern Dancers—and much more. Presented by the 36-year-old India Canada Cultural Association “Mela” means “fair” in the Indian language. “A Mela is an ageold celebration of life in India and it is an opportunity to share the richness of Indian arts & culture, create community partnerships and demonstrate a healthy way of life,” said Gordy Dodd, President of the Association. Here in Victoria, Mela is a way to continue those traditions, and share and celebrate with the greater Victoria community. “In growing up in India we had places we could go to see and participate in Melas, where people gathered to learn about one another, share food and enjoy art and music. Now we have those places less and less and they are much needed here in
Victoria,” explained Mr. Sehmi, an IndoCanadian Elder. Part of the Mela’s success is its ability to create cultural pride & bridge generations as well as cultures. “I love to go on the decorated stage in my beautiful clothes and show people watching how I have learned to dance. It makes me feel proud and good when they clap and I think that they like what I am sharing with them,” said one young Bhangra performer. While in the square enjoying the many performances, be sure to leave time to enjoy delicious Indian treats, lunch or dinner. A full menu of Indian foods, prepared in the authentic way, is available at the colourful & numerous food booths, including butter chicken, naan, vegetable curries, rice, pakoras, samosas, papadam, plus a chai and sweets booth and a barbecued Indian delicacies booth. Browse and learn from the cultural kiosks offering Indian arts, clothes, Rajasthani jewellery, henna hand decorations or learn about your future from the ancient art of palm reading. Take a look at the ICCA’s powerful Echoes of Courage: Komagata Maru 1914-2014 display that offers a look at how far Canada has come in a hundred years in becoming one of the most multi-cultural nations in the world. Various themed performances, from classical to modern, are offered from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Friday and two full days of performances, with local and internation-
ally known artists and entertainment, are planned Aug. 9 (from 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.) and Aug. 10 (from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.). For more information, visit www.iccavictoria.com or e-mail Mela co-ordinators Sunil Bhatia @ ssrr4@shaw.ca or Sabba Sall @ sallsabba@ hotmail.ca
