Triathlete back on track with treadmill Travis Paterson News staff

Zipping into a black bubble, Matt Sharpe looks more like he’s about get into a time machine than on a treadmill. Thanks to the Canadian Sports Institute’s new Alter-G treadmill, an approximately $75,000 machine, the injured Saanich triathlete is already a month into rehabilitation on an injured ankle that wouldn’t have started for another two weeks. As he runs, his legs are visible through a window in the bubble. You can see the effort it takes to force a natural running motion. “It really is like running on the moon, you have to be conscious of a proper stride,” said Sharpe, as the machine filled a bubble of air around him and lifted him off the ground. “I started running at 60 per cent of my body weight, about three times a week, and gradually added weight.” The Alter-G allows Sharpe, in this case, the ability to retain the muscle memory in his ankle for running despite having tendinitis. But it can work for many leg injuries, said CSI physiotherapist Holly Murray. “It’s a pretty popular machine since we got it a couple months ago. It allows you to keep the neuro-muscular patterns from previous training.” In essence, the machine is salvaging a winter’s worth of training for Sharpe, who enjoyed success in some smaller Southern hemisphere triathlons this spring only to suffer

Reynolds secondary grad Erinne Paisley has sold her paper prom dress – which went viral online earlier this month – for a closing bid of $1,150. Paisley posted the actual dress to gobid.com after photos of it earned national media attention at her Reynolds prom and graduation on May 31. The dress is made of Paisley’s recycled math homework and bears the writing, “I received my education, not every woman has. Malala.org,” in red marker. “I’m extremely happy (the dress) sold and I’m very excited to be (starting) a few projects that have arisen from this experience,” Paisley says. To this day the photo’s original post, on Spotted in Victoria’s Facebook page, carries 11,712 likes and 2,275 shares, heavy lifting for a (previously) little known high school student’s dress. Paisley originally donated $250 to Malala.org, the money she would have spent on a readymade prom dress. Once the dress caught the public’s attention she contributed a blog post about the dress on Malala.org, the site created by Pakastani women’s activist Malala Yousafzai. Paisley does not know dress’

So are two thirds of his surviving family, as wife Ellen and son Samuel are active in the provincial theatre. Daughter Rebecca is a respected author and professor of literature

A P P O I N T M E N T Penny Sakamoto, Group Publisher for Black Press in Greater Victoria is pleased to announce the appointment of Oliver Sommer as Publisher of the Saanich News.

at Columbia University. “Dave was an idea man to the max, and had the energy of 10 men. He brought that to the (Cadboro residents association),” Dahli said. He also brought it to his Godfrey-Brownell Vineyard in Duncan, where he regularly “out-worked young men” in the field, Ellen said. From the time Ellen and Dave met at a Stanford University party in 1960, until very recently, Dave was in perfect health. He did, how-

frey family followed soon after. By that time, Dave’s work had defined itself as the stuff of Canadian legend. Among his published works, The New Ancestors, won the Governor General's Award for English language fiction in 1970. He cocreated three publishing houses, the House of Anansi Press (1967) with writer Dennis Lee, which published early works by Margaret Atwood, Matt Cohen, Michael Ondaatje, Roch Carrier and more, as well as the New Press and the Porcupine’s Quill. From 1977 to 1982, he chaired the University of Victoria creative writing department. Through it all, he had an eye on the potential of digital communication, the Internet. He formed a (since defunct) company in the late 1980s that might have been the first provider of private internet access in Greater Victoria, if not B.C. Dave was always ahead of his time, said UVic writing professor Lorna Crozier. “We need more passionate Canadians, writers and intellectuals like him. He saw no contradiction with being a businessman and a novelist, with being an inventor of programs and a creator of stories. I hope his last years as a wine maker were as exciting to him as his years as a teacher and writer.” reporter@saanichnews.com

Dave Godfrey was an awardwinning author and publisher, a vintner, a father and a husband. Politically, he was a pundit at the community level and a critic in the municipal realm. Saanich knew him for all of these reasons, and yet he managed various levels of privacy despite being such a public figure. It wasn’t until he passed away on June 21 – seven weeks shy of his 77th birthday – that the community learned he succumbed to stage four pancreatic cancer. The diagnosis came just six weeks prior: that’s the way it goes with pancreatic cancer, the symptoms of which are dangerously evasive. “He was a private man, when he decided not to run (again) for the (Cadboro Bay Residents Association) board of directors election in May, all he said was, ‘I’m not feeling that well,’” said CBRA president Eric Dahli. “That was it, and yet, ‘I’m not feeling that well’ was actually stage four cancer. He was

ever, notice he was tired while working in the vineyard last year. In retrospect, Ellen suspects it was likely the cancer. “He took no pills, he had low cholesterol and a strong heart,” she said. “We looked at (his ailments) with doctors. But with pancreatic cancer you (often) have no recognizable symptoms until it’s too late.” The family is still in shock. The progression was so advanced, chemo only helped to minimize some of the pain. But it was too late for Dave, who was unable to eat. “It’s hard to believe,” Ellen said. His presence will be missed. Godfrey’s love for the Cadboro Bay area stemmed from his childhood, when he would visit his grandparents and stay in their Samuel McClure-designed cottage, originally commissioned by Victoria pioneers Thornton and Elizabeth Fell in 1909. That house was passed on to Dave’s uncle, Clifford Godfrey, a historical Saanich character whose influence helped shape Dave. “(Clifford) grew his own vegetables, fished and sailed his own hand-built boat in Cadboro Bay, all this at a time when there weren’t a lot of houses along the beach front,” Rebecca said. Dave’s parents moved to Ten Mile Point in 1974, and the God-

Canada Day a fitting farewell Walking along Gorge Road through a sea of red and white revellers on Wednesday was a fitting end to my time at Saanich News. Dozens of people, who less than a year ago would have been just faces in the crowd, met me with smiles, good cheer and open invitations to photograph their Canada Day pride. You see, I’ve never really felt a sense of community in any of the cities I’ve lived. Perhaps it was due to wandering youth and an inability to stay in one place. The objective sidelines of journalism became a comfortable fit, where I could Daniel Palmer excuse myself from a room when things got too personal. Editor But I’ve since come to appreciate Saanich as a place of genuine community where pride of home is infectious. And that pride has infected me. The privilege of meeting hundreds of Saanichites and telling your stories was never taken for granted. I’m humbled by the many phone calls and well wishes I’ve received about my departure simply through word of mouth. And while most of you don’t have a personal connection with me, I can say that I truly cared about the way this paper affected you each week. A good community newspaper should do two things: reflect the world around it, and enable residents to make well-informed decisions about relevant issues. We’ve used these guiding principles in our day-to-day coverage, and I know this paper will continue to reflect the joy, pain, excitement and sorrow of this incredible community. Saanich is undergoing significant change with a new mayor and council, and the community has a host of generational issues to tackle in the coming years: amalgamation, the $1 billion sewage treatment project and the everincreasing pressure of housing affordability, to name just a few. Whatever happens, I know Saanich will continue to thrive as one of the most enviable, best kept secrets to live, and Saanich News will be here to hold up the mirror when you need it.

Sewage site should have moved forward Re: Langford mayor blasts Saanich on sewage site rejection, News (June 26) Congratulations, finally a newspaper and editor willing call out the Luddite clique of Saanich councillors for their lack of critical thinking and unwillingness to consider a potential viable solution for the siting of a sewage treatment. Langford’s Mayor Stew Young was right in stating that they shirked their responsibilities and acted as nannies instead of allowing an examination process to move forward. And the whitewash of the spyware scandal by CAO Andy Laidlaw is unbelievable, in effect supporting a number of incompetent employees. Our only hope is that a few councillors will resign and Laidlaw will move on sooner than later. Chris Sheldon Saanich

EDPA bylaw more restrictive than staff let on Re: Give EDPA fair consideration, says enviro head, News (June 17) Saanich staff continue to give misleading statements about the EDPA. Read the bylaw. It does say a shed can be built, but only if you don’t damage existing native vegetation. If Saanich would explain how this can be done on an area that it says is of the “highest biodiversity,” I think this bylaw would be far less controversial. In the end, the EDPA does nothing to preserve or restore the

environment (there aren’t even fines for violating it), and comes at a very high cost to homeowners. Kevin Cuddihy Saanich

Spyware needs independent report

Indeed there should be more to come in knowledge of the Saanich spyware fiasco. Many voters aren’t going to believe an internal report. Only a process that puts people under oath will be accepted. Keith Sketchley Saanich

Happy 100th on Canada Day for Saanich senior

Marium Frayne Dalton sits outside her home at the Victorian at McKenzie seniors residence. Marium turned 100 years old on Canada Day.

Surrounded by family Marium Frayne Dalton couldn’t stop smiling as she prepared to to become a centenarian, celebrating her 100th birthday on Canada Day, July 1, at her home at the Victorian at McKenzie Avenue. The happy 100 year old said, “I’ve had a really lovely life.” Dalton Frayne was born in 1915, the middle child among 12 siblings, in the French community of Lac du Bonnett, Manitoba. She grew up there, put herself through nursing school and then became a public health nurse working throughout remote areas of Manitoba with First Nations communities. She often worked alone and delivered many babies by herself. She calculates that she delivered over 50 infants, a number of whom were given her name, Marium. She loved her work as it gave her the opportunity to do different things in life and allowed her to make a positive difference for her patients. Dalton Frayne married twice, first to Lawrence Frayne and then after he passed away in 1986 to Lawrence Dalton. She finds it amusing that she married two men named Lawrence. She has three children, five grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. She moved to Greater Victoria in 2007, fleeing Winnipeg winters and joining sons who already lived here.

the party’s 12-page summary says, adding that the Conservative government’s emission reduction targets are “inadequate and meaningless without a plan to achieve them.” Conservative Natural Resources Minister Greg Rickford and Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq replied with a statement warning that the Liberal plan “will increase the costs of everything including gas, groceries, electricity.” Rickford and Aglukkaq said Trudeau’s promise to end fossil fuel subsidies would remove Ottawa’s support for development of liquefied natural gas export facilities in B.C. In February, Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced increased capital cost tax credits for the LNG industry, similar to capital investment incentives offered by B.C. NDP leader Thomas Mulcair has promised a national cap-and trade plan for carbon emissions, which would impose extra costs based on higher emissions and reward industries that are able to reduce them. The Liberal plan promises a minimum $200 million annual spending to “support innovation and clean technologies in the forestry, fisheries, mining, energy and agricultural sectors.” editor@saanichnews.com

QUESTION OF THE WEEK!

Safety Tip: An average of 42 people are killed in impaired-related crashes every summer in B.C. Plan ahead for a safe ride home – arrange a designated driver, call a taxi or take transit. Police across B.C. will be looking for impaired drivers at CounterAttack roadchecks this summer.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety goes to great lengths to test the crash worthiness of new vehicles. Do you pay close attention to their assessments or are you happy that today’s cars differ little in the safety stakes?

organization funded by auto insurers. The goal is to reduce injuries and fatalities (on U.S. roads and highways), but its powerful research has an impact worldwide, no pun intended. The tour was truly a revelation and demonstrated well how most of today’s cars come through rigorous impact tests with good marks and those that don’t soon get a fix. We were hosted by Subaru Canada, which has much to boast about, though it was restrained in blowing its own trumpet on location. All Subaru models have been named IIHS “Top Safety Picks” for six years running. And that’s some feat: to qualify as a 2015 Top Safety Pick, a vehicle must earn ‘good’ ratings in the moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests, as well as a ‘good’ or ‘acceptable’ rating in the small overlap front test. Subaru is excited that its optional ‘Eyesight’ system has earned the top IIHS rating of Superior for front crash protection. According to Subaru Canada, the company expects the percentage of buyers opting for Eyesight to increase from the current 19 per cent to 30 per cent by the end of the 2016 model year. The Eyesight system detects obstacles and is capable of bringing a vehicle to a complete stop at speeds up to 50 km/h. By the way, for those concerned about crash test dummy cruelty, Raul Arbelaez, vice president of operations for the IIHS, says: “Our dummies aren’t getting as hurt as much they used to. We don’t have to replace as many rib cages anymore.”

Youngsters fear other drivers more than death By Keith Morgan

Public speaking just lost the top spot as the most feared task for the young generation. Distracted, dangerous drivers are now their first concern, new research funded by Ford finds. Generation Z consumers are more afraid of other motorists driving dangerously than death, public speaking, spiders and snakes, according to independent research company Penn Schoen Berland. Top fears for Millennials and members of Generation Z: • Other motorists driving dangerously (88 percent) • Public speaking (75 percent) • Death (74 percent) • Spiders (69 percent) • Snakes (69 percent) “Younger generations are growing up with different fears than their parents or grandparents,” said Kevin Shkolnik, vice president, Penn Schoen Berland. “Younger drivers are worried about distracted drivers, but they think technology isn’t just the problem, it’s also the solution, as we are seeing growing demand for driver-assistance technologies.”

The most worrisome driving situations among survey respondents include: • Snowy or icy roads (79 percent) • Manoeuvring into a tight parking spot (75 percent) • Backing out onto a busy street (74 percent) • Monitoring blind spots (70 percent) • Not knowing where I’m going (69 percent) Penn Schoen Berland conducted the poll on behalf of Ford Motor Company, surveying 1,000, Generation Z (ages 16-22) and Generation Y (ages 23-34). The online survey was conducted between April 29 and May 4, 2015; the margin of error is +/- 3.1 percent. Ford says the new research validates its decision to offer technologies that will help drivers with common driving

concerns. Ford has now announced it will migrate driver-assist technologies across its product lineup over the next five years. “Research like this is important to Ford and other automotive brands because it informs us about the situations that cause consumers the most stress,” said Crystal Worthem, Ford brand marketing manager. “As driver distraction and safety conversations have broadened, we are seeing what technology will help customers tackle their greatest fears.” The research shows 65 percent of respondents are more likely to purchase a vehicle if it has technology to help with parallel parking. Of those polled, 62 percent want technology to detect objects in blind spots.

Todd Lamb steps down as police union president during board investigation Travis Paterson News staff

Saanich Police Sgt. Todd Lamb is stepping back as president of the Saanich Police Association union in the wake of controversy surrounding a fitness training video he posted on YouTube. In a letter, Lamb told union members earlier this week about his decision, apologizing for the hyper-masculinity of his online fitness product, Spec Force Alpha, which received public backlash after a Times Colonist article was published. The product promotes itself as a tactical fitness guide that will make men the dominant alpha male in any room, and then some, using phrases like the “silent feminization” and “sissification” of men in modern society. The promotional video was still available on YouTube as of Wednesday. Saanich Police Chief Bob Downie and Mayor Richard Atwell are declining comment while an internal review is undertaken on Lamb’s side business. The Saanich Police Board released this statement: “The (Police) board is aware of concerns

about activities constituting outside employment engaged in by an SPD officer that may conflict with the officer’s duties. The matter is under review by the SPD’s professional standards office to examine whether they comply with internal policies and the Police Act. The Board cannot comment while this review is underway.” Lamb’s letter of apology to members puts blame on himself and the marketing company responsible for the ad copy, but he admits the marketer did run the copy past him. “… I checked with both males and females in the fitness industry who agreed it was not offensive. … I felt assured that although it was edgy, it wasn’t offensive. … if the product has offended you, I apologize.” Lamb also references past efforts to stand up for female officers in the Saanich workplace. “I will do what I can to make (Spec Force Alpha) better and continue to work towards my personal goals of transforming people’s lives.”
