100 never looked so good

It’s officially summer and that means spending time outdoors, getting some rays at local parks and beaches. But with Environment Canada predicting a warmer than normal summer, the Doctors of Optometry in B.C. are reminding Victoria residents to wear sunglasses and apply sunscreen while outside to help protect eyes and reduce the risk of cataracts that can be caused by the sun’s UV rays. “The big conditions that we find that are caused and exacerbated by a lifetime of UV exposure are cataracts and macular degeneration,” said Dr. Gurpreet Leekha, an optometrist Royal Oak Optometry in Victoria and the president of the B.C. Doctors of Optometry. “In Victoria in particular, you have a lot of aging eyes and amongst the aging eyes you’re seeing a high incident of cataracts. With cataracts, there’s multiple factors that can make it worse, but the primary ones are genetics and UV exposure.” The best way to protect your eyes against UV rays is to plan ahead based on what type of activities you’ll be involved in. “If you’re just going to be in a park, you want to protect against overhead UV rays with a hat,

a pair of sunglasses and some sunscreen of course,” he said. “If you’re going to be around water, you have to anticipate that there’s going to be reflected rays and that UV reflection can be quite damaging as well. In that case, the sun wear that you wear should be more wrap around.” He noted that even on overcast days, there are still high intensity rays that come through. For young people, it’s particularly important to keep the shades on.

“There’s some research in the States and the World Health Organization has adapted this as well, that says that probably 50 per cent of your entire damaging lifetime exposure to UV comes before you even turn 18 years of age,” said Leekha, adding that it’s important to try and avoid the sun between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., when UV rays are at their highest intensity. UV Canada has also created an app that shows the daily UV indexes so you can plan accordingly before heading out the door. Check them out at uvaware. com. kendra.wong@vicnews.com

100th Canada Day birthday celebrated with style Don Denton Victoria News

Surrounded by family, Marium Frayne Dalton couldn’t stop smiling as she prepared to become a centenarian, celebrating her 100th birthday on Canada Day, July 1, at her home at the Victorian at McKenzie. “I’ve had a really lovely life,” said the happy 100 year old. Frayne Dalton 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.

Sleep Apnea? CALL C.P.A.P. CONSULTANT JANE STEWART RRT

She often worked alone and delivered many babies by herself. She calculates that she delivered more than 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. Frayne Dalton 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 Victoria in 2007, fleeing Winnipeg winters and joining sons who already lived here. ddenton@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW

Three years of inaction Three years ago this month, a dozen politicians gathered at the Inn at Laurel Point for a press conference about sewage treatment funding. Reporters from every outlet in town took furious notes as officials proudly committed $500 million from the provincial and federal governments towards the most expensive project in Capital Region history. Langford Coun. Denise Blackwell, then chair of the CRD’s core area liquid waste management committee, estimated shovels would be in the ground by the “beginning of next year, for sure.” That year came and went, as did 2014, with little more than an upgraded pumping station and $60 million to show for it, as ill-advised plans to put a wastewater treatment plant and a biosolids facility in Esquimalt imploded. An educated public raised hell to push the reset button and eventually proved that the democratic process can still putter to life when prodded. But what has the region actually accomplished since that hot July morning? The CRD is at least attempting to collaboratively restart the sewage locomotive before federal treatment guidelines come down hard in 2020; and local elections have installed new mayors who prize public engagement over cocooned decision-making in the two largest Southern Island municipalities. As Langford Mayor Stew Young told the News recently, the botched Seaterra program has been “a debacle and waste of taxpayers’ money,” and he noted most of that wasted money won’t be recovered. That means the final price tag for a regional sewage treatment network is almost certainly going to increase beyond the $788 million, which means the overspend will be siphoned directly from the coffers of municipalities and by proxy, homeowners’ bank accounts. When the people stop being heard, they get angry. As Saanich Coun. Leif Wergeland noted when Saanich rejected the Watkiss Way site for consideration: “I think it’s important we let our citizens decide.” Instead, only five people made a decision for the entire region that day. People were denied a chance to view the evidence for themselves. Politicians like Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins, Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps and other accessible CRD directors deserve credit for buckling down on the Westside and Eastside sewage committees to openly engage the public on selecting the best sites. The transparent process provides hope that some politicians are shaking off the slumber of the past decade and recognizing that their closed-loop feedback system has backfired catastrophically.

Readers respond: Open governance, distracted driving Politicians promise of open dialogue in CRD sewage site selection failure A month ago some concerned residents questioned the objectivity of information presented in the Eastside Technically Feasible Site Profiles released for discussion at roundtable meetings. Officials reassured us “that interrogating this information in a public setting, is the best thing that can happen. ... it happens at the table, in real time, in front of the public.” We were encouraged by this bold response, participated in the discussions along with many others and provided our feedback – believing once again in the integrity of the process. Now a majority of Saanich council has voted against a motion to consider a potential site on Watkiss Way put forward by its owner. This rejection is unfathomable! The reasons for denying the public its say flying in the face of the arguments made earlier for open and honest dialogue. While I am opposed to a large single regional treatment plant, I believe this site should have been considered for the multitude of other opportunities it offered. This did not have to be a centralized facility with large

pipes coming from downtown Victoria – it could have been a smaller distributed facility receiving sewage just from the Craigflower and Marigold pump stations; it could have been the site for a gasification and energy conversion site receiving residual solids from other treatment plants as well as organics; it could have been a demonstration site for the reuse of reclaimed resources from tertiary treatment facilities and a profitable vegetable operation. Unfortunately this illconsidered decision by a few Saanich councilors has again denied the residents of this region the opportunity to consider innovative, forwardlooking, broad-scope, outsidethe-box solutions to our sewage problems. Oscar Regier Victoria

Distracted driving not just due to cell use While the risk of distracted driving may well be higher with the popularity of sending text messages, you should keep perspective. There are many distractions, including scenery, ill-behaved children, spousal arguments, girlwatching, etc. Some police officers are

so sheep-like they claim use of a camera to document a deliberately dangerous driver falls under the distracted driving law. Texting takes both visual and mental focus away from driving, phones take mental focus away thus hands-free ones are worse because they do not have a physical reminder. (An example of shift of mental focus was the young male driver I saw with one hand holding a phone and the other gesturing to the person on the other end of the call.) When an accident occurs, higher speed usually makes it more serious. The key is to drive to avoid an accident. Speeding in towns is bad, the limit is supposed to be determined on sight distance and ability to stop. Yet here drivers do not slow down for heavy rain nor snow, let alone when temperatures are near freezing. Jerks here exploit others by deliberately driving dangerously. But it is not as simple as people claim. (I’d vote for what Oregon had in the late 1960s – no speed limit on the open road, limits enforced in towns), and enforced requirement to pull over for faster traffic. Keith Sketchley Saanich

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.

Search is on for 2015 Amateur Photographer of B.C. Your Best Shot photo contest is now underway

ith summer weather providing great photo opportunities, there's no better time to put your skills to use and submit your best shots to a contest being presented by London Drugs, Black Press and the Abbotsford International Airshow. More than 1,600 entries have already been entered for the third annual “Your Best Shot” contest for amateur photographers around B.C. It's time for you to enter your best photo. We have received photo entries from more than 80 B.C. communities including; 100 Mile House, Campbell River, Burnaby, Vancouver, Kelowna, Chilliwack, Surrey, Hope, Invermere, Langley, Lumby, Maple Ridge,Nanaimo, Nelson,Prince George, Quesnel, Sooke, Vernon, and Victoria. Photographers are encouraged to send in their favourite photos from the past 12 months, including those taken during major events. Whether it's an action-packed sports shot, a colourful scenic landscape or an amazing portrait, budding photographers are encouraged to send it in. Contestants can submit up to five of their favourite photos for a chance to win some spectacular prizes. The contest is now open and runs until July 7. All photos will be judged by a panel of experts on subject, composition, impact and other criteria. Finalists will receive full VIP access to the Abbotsford International Airshow, which runs Aug. 7 to 9, with preferred viewing to take photos of all the action. They will also compete for more than $1,500 in prizes and the chance to be named the Next Generation Amateur Photographer of the Year. Last year, Black Press received more than 2,000 entries for the Your Best Shot contest from amateur photographers from the Fraser Valley, Kelowna, Vancouver and communities around B.C. More than 70 finalists gathered at the Abbotsford International Airshow, submitting their best photos for the final competition. The winner of last year's Next Generation Amateur Photographer of the Year award was Steve Dutt of Surrey. This year's Abbotsford International Airshow is Aug. 7, 8 and 9 will feature all-time favourite static and air displays, as well as the second annual twilight show complete with pyrotechnics. The United States Air Force recently announced its schedule for its F-22 Raptor demonstration, with Abbotsford on the list of only 21 approved show sites this season.

Black Press is looking for the next Amateur Photographer of B.C. A major aerobatic jet team will fly their first Canadian performance at this year’s show. The Breitling Jet Team, a seven-plane civilian jet team, has been added to the lineup for the airshow. The team, based in Dijon, France, will do a 2015 North American Tour including two Canadian stops. Organizers say they are excited to build on the success of the 2014 airshow. “Our patrons will get to see two of the world’s finest jet teams in one venue, with both the Canadian Forces Snowbirds and Breitling Jet Teams set to perform in 2015,” said airshow president Jim Reith. “Abbotsford is always proud to be the venue for first-time Canadian appearances by international performers.” The Breitling Jet Team will be flying fast and powerful L-39C Albatros aircraft. Organizers say the show will be “a meticulously co-ordinated ballet in which planes sometimes fly within three metres of each other, at speeds of over 700 km/h” and fly a rapid-fire succession of figures that are perfectly calculated, mastered, synchronized and fine-tuned down to the smallest details. The F-22 Raptor will join the Breitling Jet Team, the Canadian Forces Snowbirds and CF-18 Hornet, and several other aviators at the show. In addition to a solo performance, the F-22 Raptor will participate in a Heritage Flight formation with a restored 1945 P-51 “Val-Halla” from Washington’s Heritage Flight Museum. The F-22 Raptor is the US Air Force’s newest fighter aircraft, boasting a combination of stealth, supercruise, maneuverability, and integrated avionics. The Raptor, which performs both airto-air and air-to-ground missions, will be flown by demonstration pilot Capt. John “Taboo” Cummings. For more information, go to abbotsfordairshow. com.

The Victoria real estate market is sizzling but it has little to do with the current heat wave. Through the end of May this year, Victoria had recorded 1,139 residential properties listed and 653 sales. This compares to 2014 numbers that had 1,047 listings in Victoria and 492 sales through the same period, for an increase of about 30 per cent over last year. “We’ve had a good year so far,” says Victoria Real Estate Board president Guy Crozier. “When you talk to our members, there seems to be a real consumer confidence. Our local economy has been remaining strong and (coming off a holding pattern of the first few years), I think there’s a pent-up demand,” he says. “All of a sudden people start to see value in the market.” While part of the increase comes from people moving

Jennifer Blyth/Victoria News

Walkable communities like the Fairfield and the Cook Street villages are appealing to home buyers looking for residential properties in the Victoria area. locally, anecdotally at least, there also seems to be a growing influx of people from out of town. Much of that comes down to the lifestyle that Victoria offers. “A lot of what I hear is that you have two winters across Canada like they’ve had, and you have two winters like we’ve had, and people just don’t want to do it anymore,” Crozier says. It’s also the appeal of walkable neighbourhoods

like Fairfield and the Cook Street Village. “They like the village lifestyle. People really like the atmosphere of those neighbourhoods, more so than ever before,” Crozier says. The increasing listings and sales numbers are being seen in communities throughout Greater Victoria, but in areas like Victoria, Saanich and Oak Bay, listings can’t keep up with demand, he says.

The effect of that demand is increased prices. “It’s putting pressure on the great properties that come along,” Crozier says, noting that while the beginning of the year saw price increases in the one- to 1.5 per cent range, he estimates the increase to be closer to five per cent now. A market slow-down doesn’t seem likely soon. “I don’t see any factors on the horizon that will cause things to change,” he

says. I think you’re going to see stability in the market.” What this active market underlines for both buyers and sellers is the importance of working with an experienced realtor, Crozier says. “What’s really important in this market is that because things are changing so rapidly, (people should) give their realtor a call and ask what this means to their property.”

A big weekend for music

6726 Eustace Rd. 250-642-5913

The sun was shining, the beer was flowing and the music was booming on top of Browns Mountain at the Tall Tree Music Festival last weekend in Port Renfrew. More than 2,000 people and 40 bands took part in the annual party.

Fire ban extended across Coastal Fire Centre region Continued from Page A1

The ban prohibits open fires such as backyard burning or land-clearing bun piles, burning barrels, burning cages, fireworks, firecrackers and sky lanterns. The prohibition does not include cooking stoves that use gas, propane, or briquettes, or portable campfire apparatus that use briquettes, liquid or gaseous fuel, as long as the flame is less than 15 centimetres, according to a Coastal Fire Centre press release. But the reason for the ban is more than clear: a fire can use wind and dry bush to extend itself, Sorensen said. “It’s usually the sparks that start the fires. The other concern is where the fire is left when no one is watching it, and

it gets into roots, or the wind comes up and blows it along,” Sorensen said. In the case of Little Vienna Bakery, Sorensen said the response timing was luckily perfect, both in terms of available volunteers and the lack of wind. “As soon as I saw the building was on fire, I called Otter Point as well because it’s better to have too much than not enough,” he said. “Fire burnt most of the hedge up, and the probability a cigarette as the catalyst is pretty high.” The radiant heat from the cedar hedge was enough to get the flames to the building’s exposed wood on the roof, which allowed it to spread from there. Fortunately, the structure damage was mostly cosmetic and the fire did not penetrate the building.

But with the dry weather continuing, every city and municipality in B.C., big and small, remains on high alert. “With the exceedingly dry conditions, fires can start with something as simple as a cigarette butt being carelessly discarded to someone deliberately setting it with a match or a lighter,” said Doug Carey, deputy chief with the Victoria Fire Department. Besides risking an actual fire, consequences for lighting up during the ban can be costly. Anyone found in contravention of an open burning prohibition may be issued a ticket for $345, required to pay an administrative penalty of $10,000 or, if convicted in court, fined up to $100,000 and sentenced to one year in jail.
