City urged to ban fireworks North Park residents say practice impacts families, animals and the environment Kendra Wong Victoria News
Some North Park residents hope to put a stop to the use of fireworks in the city and are calling for a ban on the popular incendiary devices that they say are having huge impacts on their families. Jenny Farkas, who has lived in
the North Park neighbourhood for more than a decade, says it’s like a war zone when fireworks are lit off at the Royal Athletic Park, two blocks from her home. “City hall doesn’t understand the impact in a dense urban neighbourhood of exploding gunpowder. The city isn’t thinking of the implications for children, dogs
and people that don’t like loud noises,” she says, adding that her dog goes into “absolute distress” when they go off. “It feels like gun fire is going off at the Royal Athletic Park.” Farkas’ ban on fireworks was renewed after finding out that the Victoria HarbourCats have increased their use of fireworks from two to four times this season. “Our neighbourhood is dealing with the fall out in terms of noise. It’s just one of those things where
it’s the straw that breaks the camels back,” says Ian Abbott, also a North Park resident who lives about two blocks away from the park. “When the noise and the disturbance is falling on the same people over and over again, there’s a breaking point. You don’t understand the noise until you’re living in it.” He says several times in the past two summers his two-and-a-halfyear-old child has woke up crying
and screaming because fireworks have gone off at the park late at night. Farkas believes it’s about replacing fireworks with another form of entertainment. PLEASE SEE: Laser show, Page A2

“Fireworks are very old tech, this is a modern world, there are all sorts of options that don’t involve things that don’t pollute the environment and terrorize pets,” she says, adding that a laser, light and sound show could be an alternative. Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps says the city would “probably not” ban the use of fireworks. “I think that in the residential neighbourhoods where the Royal Athletic Park is, a laser light show might be more appropriate,” she says. “I can’t imagine that we would ban fireworks, for example on Canada Day.” Helps added she mentioned the idea of a laser light show at HarbourCats games to general manager Jim Swanson and he sounded interested in the idea. “Sometimes it’s a matter of picking up the phone or walking down to the park and having a conversation,” says Helps. kendra.wong@vicnews.com

Currently, most of the collection is at Bastion Square, while the rest is being stored in a facility on Seymour Street. Evans said they’ve kept their eyes open for other sites the museum could go, but in the meantime, he hopes to establish a small 3,000-square foot board office in the downtown core. The harbour authority, the primary tenant of the building on Belleville Street, originally signed a six-month contract with the maritime museum to occupy the space last year. But since the contract expired on Feb. 28, negotiations were stalled between the authority, the museum and Ministry of Transportation, Innovation and Citizens’ Services. The emergency board meeting took place Monday night after the News’ deadline.

Ian Robertson, CEO of the harbour authority, expressed his disappointment that they weren’t able to reach an agreement as well, but said they must move on. “We were hopeful that the government might be able to find a solution, obviously that’s not happened so now we need to move on to find a suitable tenant or tenants for the steamship building,” he said. “[The maritime museum] is important in preserving and promoting our maritime heritage and we look at them as partners in the harbour and will continue to support them in their efforts.” The ministry has also asked the museum to leave their current location at 28 Bastion Square by Sept. 30 “to

New evidence uncovered in McKellar probe Kendra Wong Victoria News
shipping containers into functional buildings (the other is Red Fish, Blue Fish on Wharf Street). “It’s quite innovative and creative use for a shipping container. It will be a nice addition to the Ogden Point port and the adjacent neighbourhood,” he said. Williams said about 70 per cent of his business is from James Bay. The rest is from cruise ship passengers. Ogden Point Adventures hoped to create a West Coast theme with the project. Williams thinks he succeeded with the motif of the building and the products they sell, from Salt Spring Island coffee to smoked salmon products and Canadian maple syrup. “People have been very supportive,” Williams said. “The locals have really stepped up to support us.”
The Victoria Police Department say they’ve uncovered new evidence at a Saanich property in the search for a missing Victoria man over the weekend, but are remaining tight lipped about the investigation. Dana McKellar, 51, was reported missing last September. Through an investigation, it was revealed that McKellar had been previously assaulted. An extensive search of a property in the 100-block of Goward Road in the Prospect Lake neighbourhood has been ongoing since last week. Among the items found include barrels containing a non-toxic substance and non-human remains. “They did recover new evidence over the weekend . . . investigators aren’t releasing it yet,” said Bowen Osoko with the VicPD. “They have pointed out that they’re still searching and excavating remains.” During the investigation last week, officers seized “suspicious” excavation equipment on the property, but Osoko wouldn’t identify the equipment, its use and couldn’t confirm if it is related to McKellar’s disappearance. “They’re definitely looking at everything they find,” said Osoko. “There’s a series of items that have been collected in the search and then they’ll be investigated further and processed.” He added that McKellar has a family and children who have been helpful in the investigation. “They really want to find him and we really want to find him too,” said Osoko. There were 90 officers searching the property over the weekend and the search will continue for at least the next few days, in what is being called one of the most extensive and detailed searches in the history of Vancouver Island. The search involves the VicPD, Saanich Police and the Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit. Anyone with information regarding the disappearance of McKellar is asked to call the VicPD’s nonemergency line at 250-995-7654 or through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS.

You really had to have vision to realize what it could become,” Williams recalled. The first step was cutting a hole in the 8X20-foot red container. It was then framed out and drywalled. The roof was sprayed with insulation, a wood floor was built complete with linoleum, cabinets, wiring and plumbing were added and the outside was painted a light blue. Then the transformation occurred. Williams received two timely donations: a load of cedar wood from his father Larry Williams and a milled fir tree from fellow Ogden Point business owner Erin Bradley. He used the cedar to com-

Nestled away in a little corner of Ogden Point a tiny coffee and ice-cream bar stands out like no other. It’s not for its garish looks, either – quite the opposite. This coffee bar is a converted shipping container decked out in Douglas fir and cedar wood. It’s an inviting spot for both James Bay residents and cruise ship passengers. The idea to create such a building was the brainchild of Ogden Point Adventures owner Jerry Williams, who was sitting on a beach in Asia about a year ago and drew the concept on a paper napkin. He returned to Canada and hoped to make his dream a reality. Williams found a shipping con-

Anyone who appreciates wood to have a live edge like that realize it is quite a feat to cut.” Williams said while there are other businesses that use these shipping containers for business, he believes his is a West Coast original. “I don’t think anyone has ever done the architectural changes to the outside with the wood,” Williams said. “I’ve never seen it anywhere else, really, in the world.” Greater Victoria Harbour Authority communications director Ivan Watson said two GVHA tenants have now converted

City OK’s micro-housing, temporary shelter plan for Victoria homeless Local advocate hopes plan doesn’t take away from permanent housing solutions Kendra Wong Victoria News
A local housing coalition advocate hopes City of Victoria’s plans to move forward with micro-housing and temporary shelters for the homeless won’t draw attention away from the need for more permanent housing solutions. “My concern with this is that the focus on things like micro-housing will do two things: one it will draw attention and potentially resources away from the permanent solutions, which is more regular housing and two: that it will raise unfair expectations,” said Andrew Wynn-Williams, executive director of the Greater Victoria Coalition to End Homelessness. “Something like micro-housing is really just a temporary solution that is applicable to a limited number of individuals and not the individuals who are most chronic — the ones that we see on the street the most.” Last Thursday during a governance and priorities meeting, city coun-
cil voted 6-1 in favour of the Action Plan for Housing Supports and City Services for Sheltering in City Parks put forward by staff. The report recommends seeking funding to open 40 adult emergency mats between May and October, when they are generally closed, establishing specific park locations where individuals can set up temporary shelters at night; and setting up micro-housing for roughly 35 to 50 people with semi-permanent wood structures, Conestoga huts or tents, on a site roughly one-acre in size. “The fact that we’re having this conversation, means that something’s not working,” said Mayor Lisa Helps during the meeting. “We’ve been throwing millions of dollars, not we as a city, as a society and things are getting worse not better.” It was Coun. Jeremy Loveday who put forward the motion. “We’ve committed to building a healthy and inclusive city and that means for everyone and that means for peo-

ple without homes,” he said. “The time for raising awareness is over, it’s time for us to raise roofs and to really work together.” The only councillor to oppose the motion was Geoff Young. An additional operating funding of up to $350,000 from 2015 contingencies will be used to support specific plan initiatives. However, the costs of establishing micro-housing
is not included in the funding. Though Wynn-Williams is in support of the plan, he was quick to note the solutions will not end homelessness and that there needs to be more focus on the need for permanent housing options. “There’s so much attention being paid to it that people are losing sight that really it’s a relatively limited part to a temporary solu-
tion. It’s not going to end homelessness,” he said, adding that the micro-housing options are more for individuals who have lower needs than chronic homeless individuals. kendra.wong@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW
Mending the cultural disparity After six years, countless tears and thousands of emotional accountings of residential school experiences, the national Truth and Reconciliation Commission report was released last week. Rather than making broad-based, sweeping recommendations that are more a state of mind, the report makes nearly 100 specific action points aimed at such things as helping aboriginal people recapture their culture, educating the general population about the country’s aboriginal heritage, and creating government policies and programs designed to enhance our understanding of the importance of that heritage and the distinctiveness of Canada’s aboriginal people. The phrase “cultural genocide” was introduced as a way to describe the systematic removal of aboriginal children from their homes and families and the residential school system’s abhorrent strategy of “taking the Indian out Indians.” Righting past wrongs will take more than simply throwing money at the problem of residual anger and shame over residential school abuses. It will take further inclusionary practices and action by individuals just as much as by governments. Rather than making statements like “What does this have to do with me?” or, “It wasn’t my parents or grandparents who did that,” we all need to ask ourselves, “what can I do personally to change the way I feel about aboriginal people in my community?” It’s a matter of systemically re-imagining the relationship between aboriginal and non-aboriginal people on a personal, individual level.

Readers respond: transgender and bike lanes Protected bike lanes rolling the wrong way When I read the City of Victoria’s “newsletter” with council’s priorities, I was appalled to see “two-way protected bike lanes” were listed there. I have been cycling for almost 80 years, including more than 45 in Victoria. I’ve driven all types of motor vehicles. In the early 1950s I did accident research and remained a keen observer of bicycle and motor vehicle mishaps. A two-way, segregated bike lane, with separate crossing controls may be great for those who are incompetent, but otherwise it could be a huge obstacle. For example, on a one-way street (as suggested) it totally cuts off access to the other side of the street. It’s bad enough to have the striping for bike lanes carried up into the intersection, where it causes cars to turn right from the middle of the street – in total violation of the motor vehicle
act, which requires a turn as close to the curb as possible. Further, this sets up the possibility of a serious collision with a cyclist, on the car’s right, seeking to cross the intersection. Most are not reported, but it can be deadly. To try separate signals just for cyclists is a stupid delay for already clogged streets. Instead of trying to needlessly protect the incompetent, the city would do well to persuade the school board to instigate a class in traffic safety, covering pedestrians, cyclists and motorists.

growing group of people that mistakenly believe that gender/ sex is a sort of choice, and seemingly that tangible an undeniable biology is not a factor. It is of vital importance that the educated community stands its ground and continues to oppose pseudoscience movements. Many fear that if they stand for reason, they will be titled by the movement’s mob as misogynist, sexist, or the like. This fear too often prevents those that know better from preventing the advancement of falsehoods by expressing fact. Gender should not be removed from birth certificates. Gender is a significant biological fact that should be recorded. People do not get to choose that they are not their own gender by simply not “identifying” as such. If this were accepted and possible, this would open the door for untold amounts of misuse and abuse. People that are born with an anomaly in their sex could be
considered for a different option in their certificate, since then it would be legitimate and correct. People that later in life once they reach adulthood and are then responsible for their own decision, if they decide to undergo a change in the outward appearance of their gender, they may also be considered for a change of sex on identification, but perhaps not the birth certificate, as that retroactive change would be incorrect. Current identification issued after a change can be reasonable. Transgender is a treatable psychological condition, whereas transsexual is an innate and existing physical and biological condition. Anybody can say they are transsexual without any need for proof, and with full ability to abuse systems in place around these identifications. It is imperative that science and reality remain the standard, and not whimsical or baseless misconceptions. Identification should remain truthful and clear. Cole Johnston Victoria

Eastside group probes idea of locating wastewater facilities on private land The Capital Regional District’s eastside sewage committee is looking for private landowners open to the idea of a wastewater treatment facility on their property. Last month, the CRD’s Eastside Select Committee released a map of technically feasible sites for wastewater treatment. The maps are based on work done by Saanich and Victoria municipal staff and include areas with private properties. Now, the committee wants to hear from landowners interested in partnering or selling their land for the wastewater treatment project. “We want to make sure that private property owners – especially those within identified technically feasible zones – know we are still looking for properties that could work as a
site for facilities,” said Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps, chair of the Eastside Select Committee. “We’re interested in learning about both partnership and land acquisition opportunities.” The CRD has been struggling to recover from its disastrous Seaterra plan, a $788-million project that included a wastewater treatment facility at McLoughlin Point and a biosolids facility at Hartland landfill. Esquimalt halted that plan in July 2013 when it rejected rezoning at McLoughlin, and the B.C. government subsequently refused to intervene to force rezoning. The Eastside Select Committee is now interested in sites that correspond with zones identified through municipal processes in Saanich and Victoria. These bubbles or zones are
identified on a site map that can be found at crd.bc.ca/Eastside. The zones include areas like Haro Woods, the Saanich core and pockets within the Quadra, Gordon Head and Shelbourne communities. Private landowners within these areas are asked to respond by June 24 to eastside@crd.bc.ca with their input. The CRD will continue to receive public input until early July, and a full technical analysis of sites will begin this summer in an effort to select sites by the end of the year. The province and federal governments have committed about $500 million towards the CRD’s secondary sewage treatment project, while any cost overruns will be the responsibility of CRD taxpayers. See the map at crd.bc.ca/Eastside.

Buccaneer Days celebration sails into Esquimalt this weekend Kevin Laird Victoria News
Pirates and little swashbucklers will descend on Esquimalt this weekend for the annual Buccaneer Days celebration. And several new events should keep even the oldest sea rover entertained. A new entertainment stage at Bullen Park will feature 12 acts – all from Esquimalt – on Saturday and Sunday. Among the the highlights will be Highland and Celtic dancers, singing groups and a presentation by the Chiefs and Petty Officers Band. The Victoria Police Department’s K9 will also have two demonstrations over the weekend. The Dog Agility Demonstration team performs Sunday. The Songhees First Nation will also be featured this year with demonstrations, a
craft show and sale in the upstair lounge of the Archie Browning Sports Centre. Bob McKie, chair of Buccaneer Days, said this year the committee wanted to see something new. “The last three years we spent money on a beer garden. It just doesn’t work. Why beat a dead horse? So, we decided to try something else,” he said. “We’re out to show off our town.” Buccaneer Days officially kicks off Friday (June 12) with a barbecue for seniors at 1:30 p.m. The midway opens at 3 p.m., along with the rugby obstacle course. On Saturday, Wakey, Wakey starts the days activities at 7 a.m. followed by the Esquimalt Lions Club pancake breakfast, Buccaneer Marketplace, parade, midway, rugby tournament, stage entertainment, children and
family races, VicPD K9 Unit demonstrations, community dance and a free outside movie at dusk. Sunday events include a mini-tyke
lacrosse tournament, food booths, midway, stage entertainment. For a complete schedule of events, please turn to page A13 of today’s paper or
go online to esquimaltbuccaneerdays.ca. All events take place at Archie Browning Sports Centre and Bullen Park. klaird@blackpress.ca

Seminar demystifies strata bylaws and rules Owners of condominiums and townhouses (known as stratas in B.C.), make up nearly one quarter of property owners on Vancouver Island. And one often-misunderstood part of strata living involves bylaws. To help enlighten the many strata owners in the area, the non-profit Vancouver Island Strata Owners Association will present the seminar Everything You Need to Know About Strata Bylaws, on June 28 in Victoria. Most stratas have created their own bylaws but many strata owners forget that the “standard bylaws” of the B.C. Strata Property Act also apply to them unless their strata has amended them, said Sandy Wagner, president of VISOA.
stand creating and enforcing bylaws, VISOA has invited lawyer Justin Hanson to speak on the topic. Hanson, a highly regarded strata lawyer practicing on Vancouver Island, will clear up some of the most common questions. “If your strata is working on updating your bylaws, this could save you from some mistakes,” Wagner said. The seminar will also include a question and answer session. The seminar runs from 1 to 4 p.m. on June 28 at the Comfort Inn, 3020 Blanshard St. Doors open at 12:15 p.m. VISOA seminars are open to the general public as well as members. To pre-register, email seminars@visoa.bc.ca.
Often, stratas try to save the expense of hiring a lawyer when writing or amending bylaws, but it is a small investment that could prevent a lengthy and costly legal battle in the future. “A simple misplaced word can completely change the legal meaning of your bylaw,” said Wagner. “Saying ‘or’ when you mean ‘and’ could open up the strata to a lawsuit, if an owner is accused of breaching that poorly worded bylaw.” In addition, a lawyer can check to make sure your bylaw is legally enforceable and doesn’t contravene the Strata Property Act or other legislation, she added. To help strata councils and strata owners better under-

Opera takes on culture, comedy
The Canadian premiere of a play about the clash of cultures between Italians, the English and the Dutch is coming to Victoria. L’Italiana in Londra, or The Italian Girl in London, was written in 1778 and was popular in Europe for 30 years before falling into obscurity. It is a comedy set in London, England, in which two Italians, two Englishmen and a Dutchman bemoan each others’ habits as the backdrop to loves lost, loves found, the power of invisibility and a duel that never happens. It is also sung in Italian with English subtitles. The play will be on at the Metro Studio Theatre (1411 Quadra St.) on Saturday (June 13) at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday (June 14) at 2 p.m. Tickets are $30, $20 for seniors and $10 for students and are available at ticketrocket.org, Ivy’s Bookshop, Munro’s Books or at the door.

Theatrical offerings
Langham Court Theatre has chosen six unique and different plays to captivate theatregoers
Kendra Wong Victoria News
Langham Court Theatre is offering a wide range of plays for the upcoming season, including a story of a group of tap dancing adults and a historical drama about the transportation of women in the 1800s. The theatre, in its 87th season, has chosen six unique and different plays to captivate theatre goers. The first half of the season (from September to December) includes You Can’t Take It With You, which was recently revived on Broadway, about a man from a family of rich snobs who becomes engaged to a woman from a goodnatured but eccentric family. The second play is Doubt, which was turned into a film starring Phillip Seymour Hoffman, about a Catholic school principal raising questions about a priest’s ambiguous relationship with a troubled young student. The second half of the season kicks off with Stepping Out, a comedy about a group of adults who study tap dancing, while Escape from Happiness, a Canadian play, is a sequel to Better Living, that was performed on stage at Langham a few years ago. She Stoops to Conquer, an English classic is also on the list. “We want to satisfy our long-time subscribers and people who have been to Langham

“But we also want to attract new people into the theatre, so we try to come up with some more cutting edge material. There’s something to attract everybody.” One of the more edgy and new plays is Female Transport a historical drama about the first group of six female convicts who are transported from England to Australia to serve out their term in the 19th century. “It’s got some strong roles for women, it’s a little bit different than other plays that we have done before,” said Lorene Cammiade, planning production co-chair, adding that the play calls for some younger female actors as well. Casting for the one-act play will begin in the fall and director Montgomery Bjornson already has some big ideas for the play he describes as “gritty” and “bringing a piece of history to life.” “The grand vision is that the audience walks on to a ship with the rest of the inmates and the crew and nobody leaves,” said Bjornson. “The audience is there enduring the smells, the roar of the ocean, the extreme darkness of living in a cell beneath the ship and the length of the voyage along with the actors on the stage. It’s a show in which the audience will experience everything that the actors are experiencing.” The season begins in the fall and runs until June.
