The Township of Esquimalt is one step closer to remediating the site that will be the foundation for the Esquimalt Village Project. The township was awarded a $68,200 Green Municipal Fund grant from the federal government and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) to put toward the assessment of soil, groundwater and vapour contamination on the former public works site last Thursday. “We knew there was the possibility of some contamination on that site because it used to be the public works site,” Mayor Barb Desjardins said. “In order for us to go forward with the best possible certainty, we felt we needed to do any work we could to find out the extent of that contamination.” The 7,500-square metre site, located at Esquimalt Road and Carlisle Avenue, is the site for the Esquimalt Village Project, a revitalization project that will include a mix of retailers, restaurants, and recreational activities. Last year, an investigation identified additional contaminants including hydrocarbons, metals and salt in the soil.

Performances by Vancouver dance group Shiamak Dawar Academy are among the highlights of this year’s India Mela celebration in Victoria’s Centennial Square Aug. 7 to 9.

India Mela a cultural celebration Group hopes to inspire youth with a connection to their heritage Katherine Engqvist Black Press

Experience what India has to offer the senses, without traveling abroad or even leaving the comforts of Greater Victoria. The sixth annual India Mela, or festival, is a free event that takes over Centennial Square and Victoria’s city hall building Aug. 7 to 9. “It’s a celebration of Indian culture and raising awareness in the mainstream culture,” said Sunil Bhatia, a director for the mela organizer India Canada Cultural Association (ICCA). This event features multicultural performances, authentic cuisine by local chefs, live

music, a fashion show and Bollywood-styled dancing. “There’s going to be lots of food kiosks,” Bhatia said, adding that everything from butter chicken to locally grown vegetables will be available. “It’ll showcase food from all over India.” Aside from edibles, 25 vendors will showcase authentic Indian products such as clothing, jewelry, henna tattoos, plus a palm reader will also be on site. Bhatia is especially excited about the entertainment, with roughly a dozen other communities joining the festivities and a renowned Bollywood dance academy from Vancouver set to perform. “There’s going to be a lot of kids’ activities,” he said, noting that sometimes little ones can’t sit through all of the performances. “It’s a family affair.” The ICCA is a social and cultural network based in Victoria. Formed in the 1960s, it contin-

ues to host culturally inspired events in the community. “Our mandate is to promote not only the Indian culture to the communities we are in, but to instil pride in our youth,” Bhatia said, by reminding younger generations of their connection to their heritage. The group also does fundraising for different charities, he added, including this year raising money for victims of the Nepal earthquake.

to encourage beautification of the municipality through exterior alterations and upgrades to existing buildings or construction of new buildings to support the conservation of built heritage to change the overall perception of the Township by creating a welcoming environment which will attract new businesses and new residential property owners

The program is intended to accomplish these objectives by providing a tax exemption to eligible properties. In order for a property to be eligible, the project must be the subject of a building permit for new construction or alteration to an existing building, have a permit construction value of at least ten thousand dollars ($10,000), and be located within the Revitalization Area on a parcel that is zoned to permit a (i) commercial use, or (ii) residential use, with four or more dwellings at the completion of the project. It is proposed that the bylaw provide a tax exemption for a maximum of ten years which would be applicable as follows: Year 1-5: 100% of the increased assessed value Year 6-8: 75% of the increased assessed value Year 9-10: 50% of the increased assessed value The amount of the annual tax exemption will be equal to the municipal portion of property taxes imposed under section 197(1)(a) of the Community Charter calculated by the incremental increase in assessed value of improvements between the year prior to project commencement and each year following the issuance of the Tax Exemption Certificate. For more information, including a copy of the Bylaw, please visit the Township website at esquimalt.ca

OUR VIEW

Prepare for political campaign barrage As we head into the halcyon days of summer, Canadians are coming to grips with their first taste of American-style politics. The decision by Prime Minister Stephen Harper to set fixed dates for federal elections in Canada has brought about a seismic shift to Canadian politics. The most noticeable change is the campaigns themselves, which now stretch far beyond the traditional five-week window. When Canadians last went to the polls on May 2, 2011, the election campaign was limited to the 36 days after the writ was dropped. But all of that has changed. Canadians are now being inundated with political ads wherever they turn, whether it be television, newspapers, radio or websites. And with the election date of Oct. 19 still more than three months away, you can be sure that there’s even more still to come. While the Liberals and New Democrats have chosen to use their finances on ads introducing the party leaders, the Conservative government has launched a series of American-style attack ads, primarily aimed at Liberal leader Justin Trudeau. Most of the positive messaging for Prime Minister Harper’s Conservatives has come in the way of governmentfunded ads. If fixed-election dates are to continue, which they likely will, steps must be taken before the next election to close the loophole that allows the governing party to subsidize its campaign with taxpayer dollars. The barrage of television ads that will fill the airwaves over the next few months are an unwelcome distraction for many Canadians, but the longer campaigns do provide some benefit. The months of campaigning should serve to better inform Canadians about the issues facing the country and hopefully we can see a whole series of televised debates (if the party leaders can get past the posturing). Maybe the prolonged exposure will help boost voter turnout in October, then again maybe not, but at least it’s a glimmer of hope to help Canadians get through their summer of political discontent.

Readers respond: Tent city, Water Sustainability Act Time for a taxpayers group Re: Residents to speak against tent city in Topaz Park While Mayor Helps councils “patience and compassion” with respect to the proposal for setting up a tent city for the homeless in Topaz Park, there’s little of either from most City of Victoria residents. Visit the ‘resident incomes’ section of the municipality’s website and you will learn that Victoria itself has the lowest median household income by far in the 13-member Capital Regional District. It is also lower than the B.C. median. That’s remained fairly consistent across the 2001, 2006 and 2011 census. It begs the questions as to why City of Victoria residents are picking up the tab for what’s more a regional, and therefore, a provincial and federal responsibility. Seems fairer to set up a tent city on the legislature grounds. It’s time for a taxpayers group. Stan Bartlett Victoria

Band-aid solution won’t help Should the “tent city” project be allowed in public parks? No! Do not force taxpayers to pay for something that they do not believe in. Let the supporters pay for the idea. The supporters should be given the option to take in some of the homeless in to their own homes and then share with them

Penny Sakamoto Group Publisher 250-381-3484 psakamotoblackpress.ca

the ideas from a “good home.” This is what I would call help. But definitely this group of people can not stay together in the public parks, it won’t work. Most of them were not born with addiction and mental problems. They did it to themselves. They did not know how to say “no” to drugs and alcohol. Do they deserve a second chance? Yes. But the Band-aid won’t help. Some of the homeless with mental problems need to be institutionalized under tough watch. For the others “boot camp” is the idea. Taxpayers will have no problem to support projects like this. Stefan Mieczkowski Victoria

Thirst not easily quenched Re Tom Fletcher’s Nestle protest doesn’t hold water (News, July 22). Mr. Fletcher pulls no punches, calling the SumOfUs/WaterWealth petition nonsense in the opening paragraph of his piece. Fortunately none of Fletcher’s punches land, being aimed at places the petition never stood. As a representative of WaterWealth I sincerely apologize to Mr. Fletcher if he took the words “suck B.C. dry” literally and mistook the opening comment for the whole conversation. We had not anticipated that, and feedback we have received indicates that the public went well beyond that opening comment to understand the broader issues that the

petition was about – primary among them being to ensure that the Water Sustainability Act is sufficiently funded to be fully implemented. The review of rental rates under the act, that the petition sought and that the province promised even before the petition was delivered, is but one more step in the on-going work to ensure that the public’s voice is heard in development of strong regulations for the Water Sustainability Act, the first major update of B.C. water law in over a century. Perhaps Mr. Fletcher overlooked that the petition text was “Charge a fair price for Canada’s groundwater! Commit now to review the water rates!” Those rates, ranging from $0.02 to $2.25, apply to some 80 categories of water use. None of those 80 categories of use can be satisfied with either tap water or a jug from the fridge. Ian Stephen, Campaign Director WaterWealth Project

Synagogue security alert after threats

POLICE BRIEFS Victoria man identified after two decades

After more than 20 years, a cold case in Victoria has finally been solved. The B.C. Coroners service has identified 35-year-old Kenneth William Boseley, who died in October 1994. At the time of death, Boseley could not be identified and attempts at genetic and other forms of identification were not successful. It was not until a routine review of unidentified human remains cases several years later that the identification and disaster response unit noted this case as one where identification might be possible. With help from the Victoria Police Department’s records section, they were able to confirm the identity. Boseley’s family has been notified of his death.

Kendra Wong Victoria News

One of Victoria's oldest synagogues is being vigilant with security measures following an incident in Toronto when threats were yelled outside a synagogue. On Wednesday, July 29, three hooded men were seen taking photos of Beth Avraham Yoseph of Toronto, one of the largest modern Orthodox synagogues in Canada. When they were approached, they yelled “F— Jews. Watch!” and drove off in a car with no license plates. Since the incident, the coalition Christians United for Israel has sent out a warning for local churches and synagogues to set up security measures. Ed Fitch, chair of the house and security committee at the Congregation Emanu-El Jewish Synagogue in Victoria, said they are maintaining “our vigilance and consequence.” “Like these incidents anywhere in the world, they're a matter of concern to all peaceloving people,” he said, adding the synagogue continues to keep tabs with security forces in Canada including the RCMP and the Victoria Police Department. “We don't discuss security measures in detail, but we maintain vigilance,” Fitch said. “Could something happen? Yes, of course. There's an idiot somewhere that's going to do something. But by and large, we've had an extremely peaceful and close relationship with the greater community in Victoria and we feel safe here.”

Alleged impaired driver crashes into pharmacy An alleged drunk driver was issued a threeday driving suspension after the man drove his vehicle into the Forbes IDA Pharmacy on Fort Street. The driver was travelling southbound on Richmond Avenue approaching Fort Street at approximately 8:30 p.m., when he started to have a “coughing fit” which caused him to careen across the street, over the curb, onto the sidewalk and into the pharmacy. There was significant damage to the building and the car, but no one was injured. Officers suspected the driver was impaired by alcohol. Using screening devices, the driver blew a 'warn' twice. The driver's vehicle was also seized.

Desjardins said she hopes to have information back before the end of the summer. “We can deal with it ourselves or in our Request for Proposals out to developers, they will have a full understanding of what exactly is happening there,” she said. “It just helps anyone knowing what they’re facing to be able to deal with it quickly and efficiently and cost-effectively. The more we know, the better our ability to move our project forward.” The Green Municipal Fund supports partnerships and leveraging of both public and private-sector funding to reach her standards of air, water and soil quality, and climate protection. “The Green Municipal Fund offers a range of resources and services that specifically addresses the sustainable community development needs of municipal governments,” said Raymond Louie, president of the FCM. “The financing and knowledge provided by the Fund support the development of communities that are more environmentally, socially and economically sustainable.” Kendra.wong@vicnews.com

Laura Lavin Victoria News

Leader of the federal Libertarian party Tim Moen won’t mind if he doesn’t get a seat during the next federal election. He would almost rather see people thinking about what they want from a government than win. “I’m less concerned with winning an election and more concerned with changing society,” he said. The married father of three teens who now lives in Calgary, earned some notoriety last year when an Internet meme he created during a June 2014 by-election in the Fort McMurray-Athabasca riding that read: “I want gay married couples to be able to protect their marijuana plants with guns,” landed him on the front page of Reddit and earned coverage in the Huffington Post, Fox News and CNN. “This Hour has 22 Minutes, lampooned me. It got a lot of attention and quickly vaulted me into the political spotlight,” says the neatly dressed 41-year-old former firefighter and paramedic. Moen’s political rise could be the fastest in Canadian history. “It’s not something I ever imagined getting involved with,” he said, during a one-day stop in Victoria last week. Although outspoken politically, Moen says he always felt those in politics were implicitly supporting the idea of status quo governance. “I always considered political activism to be antithetical. I want to create the world I see and that kind of implicit support, I’m not a fan of,” he said. “I really want to get people to re-examine their own beliefs about government. What government is and what is its purpose. I don’t want people to accept my conclusions, I want them to challenge their own conclusions about the world.” Previous to throwing his hat in the ring for the by-election, Moen earned some media attention when he spoke out against statements made by Neil Young comparing Fort McMurray to Hiroshima after the American bombings. Moen, who had a video and audio production company, assisted Young with filming a documentary at the time. That garnered attention of Libertarians who thought he had what it takes to be a politician. After some coercion he agreed to make a run in 2015. “I figured I’d have a year-and-a-half to figure out how politics works. Two days after I committed, the MP resigned and I was thrown into a by-election.”

Federal Libertarian Party leader Tim Moen was in Victoria last week for meetings with candidates and party members. (Inset) Moen gained notoriety last year with several Internet memes explaining what it is to be Libertarian. Photo contributed

He earned about four per cent of the vote with a $3,000 budget and has a goal of picking up 10 per cent of the vote this October. “It was a good showing, typically Libertarians get about one per cent,” he said. The popularity of his memes helped earn him the leadership of the party in May. “The more [votes] you pick up, the more potential credibility the message has,” he said. “We hope to set up some success, so in 2019 we can take the next step towards being a professional party. To elevate our game and make a bigger impact.” Moen promises a full slate of Libertarian candidates on the Island. Currently Art Lowe is running in Victoria; Meghan Porter is running in Saanich-Gulf Islands and Josh Steffler is running in Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke.

Members of city council, in collaboration with residents, have drafted a motion calling for more public consultation to be done before council moves forward with any proposals to house the city’s homeless. On Thursday (July 30), hundreds of residents attended the walkabout at Topaz Park to voice their opinions to Mayor Lisa Helps and councillor Ben Isitt about the proposal to establish a temporary tent city for the homeless in the park. Dozens of people came forward to speak. Resident Frankie Chao has a three-year-old son who plays in the park daily. He said he’s worried kids and dogs could be injured from needles left on the ground. “The safety must be the most important issue,” he said. Graeme Verhulst said homelessness is a federal and provincial issue and that the city should consider other options while they wait for longterm solutions to be put into motion. “While this idea of a temporary tent city has sparked so much controversy, it comes from a recognition that long-term solutions are going to take time to build,” he said. “People are suffering now, how can we deal with that now, while we’re also moving forward with long-term solutions.” After roughly two-and-a-half hours of consultation, the crowd helped draft the motion.

Wheelchair rugby debuts at Games Miranda Biletski plays for Canada Kendra Wong Victoria News

A Vic West resident is thrilled after being selected to represent Canada at the Parapan Am Games in Toronto this summer. Miranda Biletski was named to the national wheelchair rugby team, a sport that is making its debut at the Games this year. “It was super exciting. Our team kind of waited until the last minute so it was a little drawn out and people were getting anxious, but it was really exciting,” said Biletski on making the team. Biletski will join 11 members of the Canadian team to compete against five other teams (Chile, Columbia, Argentina, Brazil and the U.S.) at the Games. In wheelchair rugby, also known as murderball, the objective is to score the most goals by carrying, dribbling or passing the ball towards the opponent’s end. Contact between wheelchairs is allowed and players frequently collide as they attempt to stop their opponents and take control of the ball. Kevin Orr, the national team’s

“It was one of the coolest things I’ve ever been involved in. Ben and I were working hard to listen and create a motion that we could bring to city council,” Helps said. “People obviously came with so much anger and so much frustration and after two hours of what felt like good dialogue, we quite literally came up with a motion together with the public.” The motion reads “that we direct staff to consult the public on options for all forms of sheltering before council considers any

Victoria Devils co-host tourney Don Descoteau Black Press

Some of the top young female fastball talent in the country is on display this week. Starting today (Aug. 5) the Victoria Fastball Club, home of the Devils ‘A’ high-performance program, is hosting the Under14 Girls Canadian Fastpitch Jamboree, the invitational event features a Cup and a Plate divisions. The 10-team Cup draw, being played at Centennial Park on Helmcken Road, includes mostly second-year pee wee teams and others that have excelled in U14 tournament play this season. The 2001 Devils will compete there while the 2002 Devils will contest the seven-team Plate draw over at Hyacinth at Interurban and Marigold roads. Unlike visiting players, who must sleep in hotel rooms and mostly eat restaurant food, the local players will sleep in their own beds, enjoy home-cooked meals and stick to their routines. “I’m sure they’re practising, getting to bed and they’re thinking in their head what they can do to be prepared,” Devils 2001 head coach and association president Paddy Strandlund said before the tournament. “They’ll be playing a fair amount of games over five days.” While the park has been the site of numerous provincial

championships over the years, this is only the second time the club has hosted a national tournament. The previous time was in 2010, when the ‘94 Devils finished fourth in the U16 girls event. In general, Devils teams train virtually all year, spending time in the gym in the fall and winter before hitting the field in spring. While players competing this week are still at the tender ages of 13 and 14, they’re learning about the importance and benefits of maintaining a fitness regime, Strandlund said. “We have a fitness guy and have a sponsor, LifeMark, to help with any injuries. We even had a chiropractor come out and talk to the girls,” he said. “All that has helped us get through some sore arms and sore backs. Everything they listen to will help them think about how they treat themselves and how they warm up.” As for this week’s competition, he said the keys to doing well will be getting consistent pitching and timely hitting. “Definitely the pitching, and if you can have anybody hitting the ball who will break those pitchers, it’s going to do it for you,” he said. “With these teams, if you have less than a top-notch pitcher, they’ll be hitting the ball and putting pressure on your defence.” Some teams come in to tour-

naments such as these with two pitchers, Strandlund added, but it’s not uncommon to see one pitcher throw most, if not all of a team’s games. While mainland teams and some from Alberta are familiar to teams here, opponents from the farther reaches of the country are largely unknown, and no one wants to take chances, with an extra loss potentially costing a team a berth in the playoff round. At the recent U14A provincial championships, the Devils 2001 team posted a modest 2-2 record in the round robin squeaking into the playoffs in sixth place. They lost a tight 4-3 decision to the White Rock Renegades in the playoffs when their bats went a bit cold. The 2002 Devils, led by head coach Bryan Bull of Duncan, missed the playoffs at the same provincial tournament. Teams from Surrey, Delta and Chilliwack, along with the Devils, are expected to contend for the Cup title. But as Strandlund said, at this age any team can have a “on” or an “off” weekend. Games get underway at 8 a.m. today through Saturday at both parks, with the finals set for Sunday, also at Centennial and Hyacinth. Game times that day will be based on previous results.

Beacon Hill, Layritz compete at world series Kendra Wong Victoria News

The Beacon Hill and Layritz little leagues are gearing up to represent Canada at the Softball World Series Championships in August. Beacon Hill, who swept visiting Saskatchewan in the junior softball championship, will compete at the Junior Softball World Series in Kirkland, WA from Aug. 2-8. In pool A, Beacon Hill (girls 13-14 years old) will play the host team Bellevue Junior League, Norzagaray, Bulacan from the Philippines and two teams from central and southeast U.S. that are yet to be determined. “It’s been a long-term goal for them, so they’re just excited to get down here and play,” said team manager Bill Hawkins, noting 13 girls will be competing this year. “We prepare for the game and just go out and play one pitch, one inning at a time and play hard. Nothing different from what we’ve done all year.” Following the juniors, the Layritz Little League (girls 11-12 years old), who defeated the Beacon Hill

The Beacon Hill and Layritz Little Leagues will be representing Canada at the Softball World Series Championships after winning the Canadian Little League Softball Championships last week. Little League 7-3 last week, will represent the country in Portland for the Little League Softball World Series from Aug. 13-19. “We’re very excited, very excited for the girls because they worked so hard,” said team manager Alan Callander. “On the field there were tears of joys and tears of sadness.” In their bracket, the girls will face the ILLAM Little

League from Makati City in the Philippines, the Central Iowa Little League and two teams from the U.S., that are yet to be determined as well. “We’re up against some pretty tough competition,” Callander said. “Our whole goal was to get there and we did that. We made a promise to go down there and have fun and play time will be spread out a bit more.”

Callander said the team is deep in pitching and has strong catchers. “I think we’re going to focus on our batting a bit, the girls have got their in-fielding down, but I think for batting, just getting used to a little bit faster pitching,” he said, noting they’re taking 14 girls and three coaches to the world series.

Once you have your prescription for eyeglass lenses there are a number of decisions you must make. Perhaps one of the most important isDr. whether have your correcPaultoNeumann tive lenses made out of glass orOptometrist plastic. Today, in Canada, most spectacle lenses are made of OPTOMETRY CLINIC plastic. Plastic lenses havewww.cseyecare.com improved so much over the last 20#1 years, that plastic has Rd. become the lens material - 7865 Patterson Saanichton of choice. If glass lenses are chosen it is imperative to get shatter resistant lenses. There is no such thing as shatterproof glass. So, for occupations that require safety eyewear, glass is not acceptable. Plastic lenses can absorb much more punishment. Some plastic materials are extremely safe and therefore afford good protection in certain high risk occupations. Both glass and plastic can be made in “thin” or high index materials which are more practical for strong prescriptions. Because plastic is softer than glass, there is a misconception that plastic lenses will scratch easily. This does not have to be the case provided proper care is taken. Elaborate cleaning measures are not necessary, just Ericksense Vesterback, O.D.,lenses BSc will not simpleDr. common precautions. Plastic become scratched from normal use; they get scratched when exposed to abrasives. Today’s scratch coatings make plastic lens surfaces very durable.
