The Bank of Canada's Isabelle Jacques shows off the new polymer $100 bill entering circulation in November and an example of seized fake $100. The Bank of Canada expects the new bills to be extremely tough to copy and easy for people to spot a real from a fake. Counterfeiting Canadian currency has been on a steady decline since a peak

Two mothers and their children came across a young black bear Tuesday during a leisurely morning walk along on the west side of Langford Lake. Kirsten Marten spotted the bear when her son Saul, who is almost four years old, walked within 10 feet of the cub. The bear was standing on its hind legs leaning against a tree. Marten estimates the bear stood about five or six feet tall. “(My son) didn’t see the bear, but I yelled ‘stop’ and he turned around and ran to me,” Marten said, admitting she was terrified. “I wasn’t scared of the bear because it was just standing there, I was scared because my son was running towards the bear. It was that moment of not knowing what the bear would do. There is no way I could have gotten him before the bear did.” Marten spotted the bear at about 11:30 a.m. in a forested area past the Langford Lake boardwalk and public beach area off Leigh Road. It was within three feet of the trail. She and her friend were both pushing strollers with children. Once Saul returned to his mother, the group turned around and walked away from the bear. Marten said the cub didn’t approach them or act aggressively.

Canadian currency counterfeiters may have met their match. The Bank of Canada is rolling out hightech plastic polymer bills fused with transparent windows and embedded with shimmering metallic images. For those in the business of trying to print their own cash, high-bond paper and an inkjet printer definitely won’t cut it anymore. “There are 30 countries in the world using polymer,” Isabelle Jacques, a Bank of Canada currency analyst, said during an information session at the West Shore RCMP station. “This is the best bank note for Canada, the most advanced that’s ever been produced, and one of the best in the world.” Banks will start circulating polymer $100 bills in November, $50s by March 2012, and $5, $10 and $20 bills by late 2013. Holding a crisp new $100, Jacques pointed to the long transparent window framing a metallic portrait of Robert Borden, Canada’s prime minister through the First World War. “(A window) so large with the metallic stripe has never been done before. It is state of the art,” Jacques said. The second smaller maple-leaf shaped window has a tiny number embedded, visible only under direct light and close to the eye. At 19 cents apiece, the new bills cost almost double to manufacture and print, but they are expected to last 2.5 times longer. Cotton-based bills in circulation now last about three years. Polymer versions are expected to last 7.5 years. The government estimates it will save $200 million due to the durability of the series. “In the long run we are going to save on production costs and transportation costs,” Jacques said. And unlike cotton-based notes which are shredded and sent to a landfill at the end of their lives, polymer material can be recycled.

Politicos call on feds to fund LRT

Tour de Rock garage sale, breakfast

Erin McCracken

IN BRIEF

West Shore RCMP detachment is hosting a garage sale and pancake breakfast on Saturday to raise money for the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock. Breakfast will be served by donation from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Browse donated household items and treasures from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., 698 Atkins Ave. West Shore RCMP Const. Rod Fraser is part of the Tour de Rock team this year. The tour runs from Sept. 24 to Oct. 7. See www.tourderock.ca to donate and for the list of events.

Chamber seeks award nominees

The WestShore Chamber of Commerce is seeking nominations for its first WestShore Community Awards. Awards categories include environmental leadership and sustainability; ethical business practices; and community involvement. People can nominate a business, a non-profit or an individual. See www.westshoreawards.ca for details or to submit a nomination. Deadline is Aug. 26.

Police warn of ‘hitman’ email scam

Police are warning of the so-called hit man scam, in which a spammer claims to have been hired to murder the recipient of the message. The email goes on to request payment in exchange for information about who has taken out the hit. “Typically, (email scams) don’t have any mention of violence. This one does,” said Saanich police Sgt. Dean Jantzen. Police say the best way to avoid scams is to be critical of any emails not addressed to you, as well as those which request an electronic transfer of funds.

Greater Victoria leaders from three government levels are not only calling on the federal government to help fund light rail in the region, they say the money is readily accessible. “They have to play their part,” Victoria MP Denise Savoie said at a press conference Tuesday at the busy corner of Douglas and Fort streets, where vehicles and public transit buses roared by throughout the morning. “The fact is the money is there.” Federal funding sources that could be tapped include the Building Canada Plan, which has $10 billion budgeted for sustainable infrastructure upgrades — such as for transit projects — across the country until 2014, said Savoie. “As desirable as LRT is, it has to be affordable for this region. It can’t be paid from taxpayer, property taxes or gas taxes alone,” Savoie said, flanked by several federal, provincial, regional and municipal politicians, including Victoria Coun. John Luton with the Victoria Regional Transit Commission, Saanich South provincial MLA Lana Popham and Saanich Coun. Dean Murdock, as well as student, business and community group leaders. There are numerous benefits to the $950-million LRT line shuttling passengers between downtown Victoria and Langford, such as addressing congestion, creating long-term jobs and generating an estimated $1.4 billion in economic spinoffs, Savoie said. Those advantages are partly why the group says they welcome the Greater Victoria Chamber of

Commerce’s call in June to put BC Transit’s LRT plan through a thirdparty cost-benefit analysis. “I’m personally quite confident it’ll show that the benefits far outweigh the costs,” said Randall Garrison, MP for Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca, adding that federal and provincial support would significantly reduce the burden on taxpayers. “We need to get all three levels of government to the table and then we’ll know what the local costs would end up being,” said Garrison, who believes the LRT and E&N lines are both necessary to address the region’s transportation issues. “The E&N and LRT are complimentary projects, so the E&N can link up with the LRT project to help bring commuters to dockyard

(at CFB Esquimalt),” said Garrison, who has been advocating for federal funding for the E&N line, along with Savoie. The E&N would help reduce congestion by taking truck traffic off the roads, he added. “So the two work together to bring a regional transportation system that will serve all the residents well,” Garrison said. While an independent thirdparty review is a good idea, the chamber’s idea to hold a regionwide referendum in November to ask voters about light rail is premature, said Rob Fleming, MLA for Victoria-Swan Lake. “I don’t think there is a question,” he said, adding more discussion is needed among the three government levels.

The need for a solution to the region’s transit woes is deepening, said Saanich Coun. Judy Brownoff, a director of the Capital Regional District, which has data indicating the commute time will soon reach 80 minutes between the West Shore and Victoria — a route that sees 21,000 vehicles each day. “That’s not sustainable or healthy for this region,” Brownoff said. A partial business case for the LRT project is now with B.C.’s Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. Meetings are planned for September to develop a task force to identify local funding sources to pay for the system, jointly led by B.C. Transit and the CRD. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Officer showed ‘poor judgement,’ says RCMP review Sam Van Schie News staff

The West Shore RCMP officer who left a puppy baking in a police vehicle is still training service dogs. An internal RCMP review into the July 6 incident concluded that the officer exercised “poor judgement in the care and safekeeping” of the animal he left inside a vehicle parked at Goldstream Boathouse in direct noonday sun for at

least three hours, while he was out on an off-duty boat trip. According to RCMP E Division spokesperson Cpl. Annie Linteau, the officer was given “written operational guidance” and a record of the incident was put in his file, but he’s continued handling police dogs “with strict supervision.” The 10-month-old German shepherd involved was in good health after the incident. Staff at the Boathouse heard the pup whimpering and erected

a tent over the hot vehicle to provide some shade and hosed it down to reduce the internal temperature. They also alerted local media, and images of the overheating animal were seen across the country. Animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals called on RCMP to install temperature monitoring systems in canine vehicles. But Linteau said the review focused instead on better training

for officers voluntarily training the animals. Changes to the training course will be implemented Canada-wide, providing clearer guidance on how to keep the dog from overheating — by leaving it at home rather than in a hot vehicle — as well as how to recognize and treat the signs of an animal overheating. The review, conducted by West Shore RCMP, will not be released publicly. news@goldstreamgazette.com

Open Hearts Adult Day Care is all heart Jenn Blyth

What happens if you are the sole caregiver for a parent or spouse with dementia, and have no one to step in when you have a doctor’s appointment or friend’s funeral, let alone a simple coﬀee with friends? For some, it means a stressful experience for both themselves and their loved one, as they try to bring them along; others simply choose not to go at all. And that is just a shame, both for the caregiver and the patient, says Nicole Donaldson, owner of Open Hearts Adult Day Care. A licensed practical nurse who has spent her entire 33-year career working with dementia patients, Donaldson emphasizes that social time is as important for the caregiver, who needs time to recharge, as it is the patient, who needs time with others in a non-stressful, welcoming environment. “I appreciate families have the night shift, so I have the day shift,” Donaldson quips, with her trademark sense of humour. “It’s just what I do – I love it.” In all seriousness, though, “families need more support. It is imperative for families to feel normal; it’s imperative for the senior to feel normal.” At Open Hearts Adult Day Care, which Donaldson has renovated to accommodate up to 10 clients at a time, if clients like to bake, they can help her bake; if the like to paint, there’s room for that; if they simply want to watch and mingle, that’s just ﬁne too. “I want them to do whatever they want to do,” she says. “I want them to feel

they want to come visit Nicole for a cup of tea.” The result, in addition to a happier relationship when they’re back home, is a person who will be able to socialize better when the time comes for them to enter long-term care, says Donaldson, who has seen many people in the system whose condition has been worsened by isolation. A stepping stone to more complex care, the day care “allows the transition for the family and the person themselves to be much easier.” Donaldson is currently offering care between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., but she encourages input from the community as to the hours and services they may need. Helping at the day care are a Bath Nurse (RCA) and Activity Aide. For those who think they may be unable to afford respite care, Donaldson points out that clients are welcome from as little as one hour at a time to a full day. In addition, for those with a “K” number with Veterans’ Affairs, the service is partially covered. Clients are under no obligation and there are no contracts to sign, only a small questionnaire that provides Open Hearts Adult Day Care staff – boasting some 80 years experience working with dementia – details to ensure a positive experience for the patient. Open Hearts Adult Day Care is at 647 Kelly Rd. For more information call 250-391-9827 – the first 10 people who call will receive two hours of care free for their loved one when they pay for one hour.

November start eyed for Colwood Corners overhaul

This is notice to the public that the City of Langford intends by Bylaw No. 1340, 2011 to close to trafc and remove the highway dedication of a 107.8 square metre portion of the highway known as Vista Dawn Place (dedicated by Plan 27882) that is shown outlined in bold black on the reference plan attached as Schedule “A” (the “Closed Road”). The Bylaw will be considered by the Council of the City of Langford at its regular meeting at the City Hall, 3rd Floor, 877 Goldstream Avenue on Monday, September 6th, 2011. Persons who consider they are affected by the Bylaw will be provided an opportunity to make representations to Council at the meeting or by delivering a written submission to the Corporate Manager by 4:00 pm on that date.

Sam Van Schie News staff

Businesses in the Colwood Corners plaza have started clearing out to make way for the City Centre development. Those that remain have until the end of November to move to new locations — some within the plaza and some offsite — before the southern section of strip mall that used to include Fairway Market is leveled make way for the first five-storey building. Adam Gant, founding partner of the developer League Assets Corp., said what could grow into the third largest construction project in Canada is on track to begin site preparation by the end of the year. “There’s lots going on behind the scenes,” Gant said. “We’ve hired extra people to keep it moving. It’s a huge team, about 50 people, just working on this project.” London Drugs and other commercial tenants slated for streetlevel retail locations in the first building are signing off on architectural drawings of what their new space will look like. The 76 condo units are up for private sale to people who paid $1,000 for first pick of the presales. The final design will go to Colwood council in early Septem-

Then excavators can get to work. “That’s when the public will really be able to see something going on,” Gant said. A sales centre will be the first thing to go up on the site. Public sale of condos in a 25-storey highrise, the second building slated to be built on the site, are expected to open next March. League will offer a financing plan to lower the down payment required on its units to help lure current renters into first-time home ownership. “There’s a huge shortage of rental housing in Greater Victoria. If we can make it more

affordable for people to own their homes, it will free up some of the rental stock and potentially get some people off the street as everyone can move up a rung in the housing ladder,” Gant said. Buildout of City Centre is expected to extend over 15 to 20 years, eventually covering the full 10-acre site near where Goldstream Avenue meets Sooke Road. If built to full capacity, the development could yield 3.8 million square feet of floor space and create a new downtown core for Colwood. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Facing the music on STIs T

here’s a centuries old saying about good intentions most people should be familiar with. And while the idea of reducing the spread of sexual transmitted infections is noble, there are a few problems with the plan to let people email their lovers to warn them they could have an STI, via www.inspot.org. First of all, the rather cute e-cards developed for the B.C. Centre for Disease Control could make some people believe that the issue of STIs is not something to take seriously — and there is little stopping people from sending malicious anonymous messages to spurned partners. This is particularly a concern for young people who are just beginning an active sex life. The ability to send these e-cards anonymously, with quips about being “screwed” or taken “out of action” is supposed to make it easier for people to warn their lovers to get checked. That’s great if it allows someone to get a diagnosis and be treated before a disease can do irreparable damage. However, there’s a problem if the message some people hear is that transmitting an STI is no big deal because you can anonymously inform your partners after the fact. Managing intimate relationships has always been tricky territory for men and women. That’s no exception for the current generation of young adults who seem to spend as much time communicating electronically as they do in person. Having sex requires a level of maturity and if someone is old enough to be intimate with another person they should be able to understand the potential consequences of their actions. It’s fine to take a shortcut if it saves someone from a lifetime of suffering because of an untreated STI. But let’s not pretend sending an anonymous e-card is the same as taking personal responsibility. The only way to do that is to face the music and talk to your partner (or partners) in person.

ers will embrace light rail transit to avoid the daily jam on the TransCanada Highway or on Island Highway. But how many? BC Transit estimates about 36,438 passenger trips per day, but also admits there won’t initially be any time savings in taking rapid transit over the car. I’m a big supporter of any initiative to get us out of our cars. But I’m not convinced the timing is right for rapid transit. I’m worried our population can’t swallow the $770 million price tag, even if the federal and provincial governments provide their share. We need more information to make a sound decision, which is why I applaud Victoria MP Denise Savoie, who called for an independent study of the issue on Tuesday. I’d like solid financial analysis of the experience of smaller cities that have built similar lines. By the year 2040, (when the rapid transit line promises a significantly faster option than the car) the Capital Regional District’s population will have gown by about 60,000. That’s many more taxpayers to share the significant capital costs, and many more potential riders to pay into the system’s ongoing operating costs. More riders justifies more frequent train schedules, ensuring no half-hour waits on Douglas Street at 9 p.m. rholmen@vicnews.com —Roszan Holmen is a reporter with the Victoria News.

Here’s another economic fact about the year 2011. For the first time in Canadian history, the majority of people with employersupported pensions now work for government or its agencies, rather than the private sector. Despite all the political blather about left and right, more spending versus less, government keeps growing. That’s true for Canada and for B.C., where government grew every year of the allegedly tight-fisted reign of Gordon Campbell. There has been lots of bleating about HST on adult-sized clothing for children. Claiming your hubby’s clothes are actually for a bulky child may be the oldest scam in sales tax evasion. This is an example of what economists call the paradox of public finance. Economists like consumption taxes because they’re difficult to avoid. Many

taxpayers dislike them for the same reason. This is the road that leads to Greece, where tax evasion is considered a civil right along with fat pay and pensions. The same population expects to go to university at little or no cost until they’re 30, and then retire at 55, with the whole apparatus somehow held up by the dwindling band of workers in between. The latest contract demands of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation give a sense of their Greece-like isolation from reality. Lengthy paid leaves, yet more paid professional development days, oh, and a double-digit wage increase after the rest of the public service has accepted zero. I attended the recent BCTF convention in Victoria, where this entitlement culture was on display. During a news conference

about the BCTF’s many demands, someone stood behind Education Minister George Abbott and held up a sign for TV cameras that demanded “No Tankers.” This was no campus radical slipped in from the street. It was a middle-aged BCTF delegate, one of many decrying the industrial economy we need to pay for their pensions. B.C. aspires to be a shipbuilding economy but it can’t do shipping? According to our public sector union elites, we’re too precious to allow oil tankers in B.C.? Apparently some have still failed to notice that oil tankers have been going up and down the coast for decades, and back and forth under the Lion’s Gate Bridge for years. tfletcher@blackpress.ca —Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com.

LETTERS New intersection a U-turn disaster Congratulations to Langford council and engineering staff for creating a traffic nightmare that affects the taxpaying residents of the downtown core. Since the opening of the Peatt Road and Station Avenue intersection there have been a number of exchanges with council from the neighbourhood complaining about the traffic, the disturbance, noise and hazards it has created. That is now compounded with a bus exchange where partiers hang out until all hours of the night. In my dealings with council and the engineering department, a viable cost effective solution to resolve the U-turn concern was brought forward, and simply dismissed with, “the traffic just needs to get used to the change in traffic pattern.” How long does that take? In the past seven minutes I have witnessed 12 vehicles make illegal U-turns in my driveway and on the shoulder of the street. During the week cars line up to make turns. A permanent etching of the turns is now present on the road. Motorists are forced to make an illegal move to continue down Station Avenue as it no longer goes from Veterans Memorial Parkway to Jacklin Road due to the new bus exchange. Motorists must turn right from Station, on to Peatt Road and then U-turn on Orono Avenue. This redesign is a

hazard for pedestrians and other motorists. Twice this year Orono Avenue has had to be regraded on the shoulders. I appreciate that the mayor and council wants to beautify Langford for residents and visitors to the West Shore. However I disagree with the engineering department that there is no inexpensive “fix” to this problem. If we can afford to use taxpayers dollars to build a Bellagio style fountain with music and a “Disneyland” sign to the city surely we can fix a traffic pattern concern. Louise Oetting Langford

MLAs travel for good reasons Re: Expenses list a first good step, Our View, July 27, 2011. While I agree with the point

made in the July 27 editorial, that ease of access to government information is a positive step, your inference of secrecy in government and a lack of transparency of government exists owing to the lack of accessibility to government information is misleading. The expenditures of the province have always been available and published in the annual Public Accounts. The salaries of politicians and public servants, including their travel expenditures, were published. They also list the amount paid in grants and to suppliers. As reporters, you certainly must be aware of the existence of such public documents, so why are you inferring secrecy and lack of transparency in government? I was a public servant for 31 years with the province of British Columbia. While always mindful of public perception with

respect to expenditures and the need to be accountable to the public whose tax dollars are being used, you are only reporting one side of the story: The expenditure side. You fail to balance the column with what is achieved and accomplished as a result of the travel. Cabinet ministers and staff do not travel simply for travel sake; there must be legitimate government business to be conducted. Not everyone can afford the cost of a trip to Victoria to meet with elected officials or cabinet ministers. You fail to acknowledge that the role of a cabinet minister extends to the entire province, not just the constituency of the MLA. It is important that cabinet ministers and officials go into constituents’ “home courts,” particularly to rural British Columbia. This means travel.

In the future, I would like to see responsible journalism, with the column presenting the two sides of the story, not simply a sensational statement intended to incite negative reaction. You too have a role to play in building trust in government. Harvey Sasaki Saanich

Fake bills becoming rare Continued from Page A1

Where six years ago merchants were passed more than 550,000 fake bills, last year about 53,000 counterfeits were removed from circulation – the majority being $20s and $100s printed with an inkjet-type copier. Of those, 39 per cent were seized in B.C., the most of any province. Last year, West Shore RCMP had 49 cases involving suspected counterfeit currency, mostly with merchants who were passed fake bills. In one investigation, West Shore Mounties seized three fake

$100s from a pre-2004 series and sheets of textured paper bearing attempts to replicate $20 and $50 bills. Jacques stressed that it's a myth that larger denominations, such as $100s, are more likely to be counterfeit. Merchants who only scrutinize $100 bills leave themselves open to fraud. “People should not think (counterfeiting) is just big denominations. The security features from the $5s to the $100s are the same,” she said. “In 2007, $5s $10s and $20s were 90 per cent of all counterfeit bills.” “From our investigations

we’ve seen all denominations of currency, and U.S. currency as well. It's not just $100 bills." West Shore RCMP Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz said. “Ultimately the public is are our eyes and ears. They are the first line of receiving that bill and notifying us it’s out there. It does happen in our community.” The West Shore RCMP community policing section is willing to hold information sessions with merchants on spotting real bills from fakes. Call community policing at 250-391-3327. For more on Canada’s hightech currency, see www.bankofcanada.ca, under “Bank Notes.”

Tango music arose from a clash of cultures, and true to its roots, Victoria’s Tango Festival will blur the line between tango, jazz and Latin American music. “There’s a big crossover in Buenos Aires and other places between Latin music and tango,” said event co-ordinator June Waters. Dance floors in Argentina will vary between the dance styles, giving everyone a chance to get up and dance, she said. Local group Kumbia, known for helping to start the salsa scene in Victoria, will perform, giving audiences a chance to listen and dance to their tango and broader repertoire. “We also have a jazz concert this year that has jazz, jazz-tango and tango in it, because … we’ve got a fabulous musician who is a world champion harmonica player that isn’t bound to one (style),” said Waters. The annual event, in its fourth year, has a mandate to increase live tango music in Victoria. While many people think of tango as a style of dance, this festival is about the music. The style of music started in

the culture clash “that began in Buenos Aires in the late 1880s,” said Waters. A large immigrant population contributed influences from Cuba, Italy and other countries. “It was their grief and longing for their homeland that was expressed in the tango music. Then it was transported to Europe … and it continued to evolve.” Composer and musician Astor Piazolla changed the genre radically in the 1970s, drawing on an existing movement by tango musicians. “They didn’t want to play just dance music. They wanted to go further and develop and expand it,” said Waters. Piazolla’s music was intended for concert halls, rather than dance halls. It’s his style, called “tango nuevo” that

Local author shortlisted for culinary book award Ryan Flaherty News staff

The solution to many of the world’s food supply problems are in your own backyard. That’s the philosophy behind Carolyn Herriot’s book The Zero Mile Diet: A Year Round Guide to Growing Organic Food. And if reaction to the book is any indicator, it’s an idea that’s catching on. The Saanich resident was recently named to the shortlist for a 2011 Canadan Culinary Book Award in the special interest category for the book, which teaches readers how to feed themselves in a sustainable manner. “I was inspired by (Vancouver couple Alisa Smith and J. B. MacKinnon’s) 100Mile Diet,” Herriot said, “but it doesn’t tell you what to do. It outlines the difficulties

and the problems and the challenges. “Zero Mile is a solution guide. It’s not just another vegetable gardening book. This is a book about how to feed yourself from your own backyard.” Herriot, who runs an organic seed business called Seeds of Victoria, says global insecurity over things like climate change, world hunger, and even the fact that Vancouver Island could be hit by a major earthquake at any time all helped inspire the book, her second. “It seemed to me that having more selfreliance was a good way to go,” she said. Making the shift to sustainable gardening is easier than most people realize. “We don’t grow our own food anymore even though gardening is the number one leisure pursuit in North America,” she said. “It only requires a small paradigm shift. We can keep gardening but instead

of growing only ornamental plants, grow edible ornamental plants.” The Zero Mile Diet takes readers through “the A to Z’” of vegetables and culinary herbs, Herriot said. It also teaches them how to save the seeds for future crops. “For me, sustainability and food production has to take seed saving into account.” The Canadian Culinary Book Awards recognize excellence in food and beverage writing while promoting Canadian food culture. Gold and silver prizes are awarded in three categories. The winners will be announced on Nov. 7. “It makes perfect sense to me to go back into the garden, grow more of your own food, get your children involved, and sit around the table together,” Herriot said. editor@oakbaynews.com

Mill Bay ferry route off the chopping block Krista Siefken Black Press

The Brentwood ferry can expect smooth sailing ahead. The route to Mill Bay was under threat in recent months, with BC Ferries examining its costs and mulling cost-saving options. But the recent release of the BC Ferry’s Commission annual report confirms the local route is not on the chopping block. “We’re relieved,” said Pam Alcorn, who’s been campaigning to save the ferry along with the other members of the Save the Mill Bay Ferry group. “Myself and the members of the ferry committee are feeling very optimistic about the future, especially given the upgrade and investment made in the terminals and the new vessel.” That investment was more than $5 million spent on readying the Mill Bay and Brentwood Bay terminals for the MV Klitsa — which replaced the MV Mill Bay earlier this year — as well as on the Klitsa itself. “BC Ferries is also going to establish a ferry advisory committee for this route, which

Christine van Reeuwyk/News staff

The larger MV Klista replaced the MV Mill Bay ferry last month for the Mill Bay to Brentwood Bay run. bodes well for the future, and we welcome that idea,” Alcorn added. Save the Ferry campaigners have been advocating for the route for months, highlighting a need for options when the Malahat is closed, for seniors who dislike driving the busy highway, for tourists who want a more scenic view while on the Island, and for the small businesses that rely on the service. “It looks like it’s going to be recognized as a vital service, because obviously people use it and need it, and even though

the ferry can’t handle all of the traffic created when the Malahat is closed, at least arrangements can be made for those who have to get to the other side,” Alcorn said. “BC Ferries has worked really well (during Malahat closures) at checking the line-ups to see if anyone is in an emergency situation — such as having to catch a flight or make a medical appointment that’s been booked for months — so that at least people who have to access the province’s capital from the rest of the island can make it.”

Monty’s replacement on track The days appear to be numbered for Victoria’s last downtown strip club. When the sale of the Victoria Plaza Hotel is finalized next month, businesses such as Monty’s Showroom Pub, Cabin 12 restaurant and a few hotel tenants will have to find a new home. There was enthusiasm for the $14-million six-storey residentialcommercial project when it was presented for the first time to the

Downtown Residents’ Association. Should Victoria city council approve the rezoning, it would take about 15 months to construct the project, beginning in late 2013 or early 2014,, said Lorne Milne, CEO of Griffiths Milne Clough Projects. Plans also call for underground parking, 30 rental units and 75 strata units. The front of the 101-year-old hotel will be preserved, and a sidewalk café may replace the city’s green urinal location.

Sex partners urged to disclose infections via e-cards

WE’LL GIVE YOU

1000

Jeff Nagel Black Press

It’s an Internet greeting card no one really wants to receive. The B.C. Centre for Disease Control is promoting a free online service that helps break the news to former sex partners that you may have given them a sexually transmitted infection (STI). Users of the inSPOT service can send anonymous e-cards via email to up to six partners warning them that they should get tested. Recipients get a link to information on how and where to get testing. The site, www.inspot.org, also offers information on STIs. Dr. Mark Gilbert at the BCCDC said notifications are critical to combatting and preventing the spread of sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydia, gonorrhea and HIV. “Anyone can use inSPOT. It doesn’t require visitors to login or register to use the service,” he said. “It’s free, simple and easy to use.” Users select an e-card with one of several different messages, enter the partner’s email address and can also add a personal message. “Sometimes there are strings attached,” reads one of the e-cards. Another says: “It’s not what you brought to the party, it’s what you left with. I left with an STI. You might have, too.” The service has been implemented in other North American cities after being developed in 2004 in San Francisco.

Eco-friendly living at Woodland Creek Jennifer Blyth Black Press

Gold is green these days in Sooke – at least for new home owners in the Woodland Creek development. Built by locally owned and operated developer Totangi Properties and priced from $384,900, the project’s latest release of single-family Craftsman-style homes offers a variety of floorplans to choose from – all certified Built Green Gold. The fifth phase of the Woodland Creek project, just outside the Sooke village, sits near the Galloping Goose Trail, SeaParc Leisure Centre and schools. In addition to standard green features, such as low-VOC paints and energy-efficient fixtures, Woodland Creek is the first development in Sooke to have individual exchange heating, cooling and hot water. The technology and costs are now at a place where the geothermal can

The Built Green Gold Woodland Creek homes combine energy efficiency with attractive Craftsman-style design.

be offered and the homes still kept affordable, explains Totangi’s Blair Robertson. The results are resonating with buyers. “People like the quality of the finishes and they are very much attracted to the geothermal – qualities consistent with their own values in terms of energy conservation,” Robertson says. In addition to the efficiencies the homes offer, Built Green features also tend to be very healthy, with little off-gassing of chemicals, for example. While traditionally Sooke home sales have tended to be more about location and affordability, these homes are also attracting buyers who have researched the green features and like what they’re offering. “It’s more about features that are consistent with their values.” Of course, the style offered is a selling point, too. Standard features of Woodland Creek homes include

natural gas fireplaces with wood mantles, designer-selected light fixtures, premium engineered wood flooring, master suite walk-in closets, heated tile floors in the ensuite and main bathroom, gourmet kitchens with energy star stainless appliances, landscaped yards, future-proof media wiring and more. When complete, Woodland Creek will feature 110 single-family homes, 80 townhomes, a neighbourhood commercial-zoned area and public parks, complete with a pond, walking trails and playground.

B.C. quitsmoking plan attracts critics Tom Fletcher Black Press

B.C.’s plan to fund nicotine patches and gum for smokers has been lauded by the Canadian Cancer Society and other health organizations, but the program has its detractors. Public feedback since the program was announced in May include a variety of criticisms, according to documents released by Premier Christy Clark’s office under freedom of information legislation. The program is set to start Sept. 30. It will provide people up to a 12 weeks supply of over-thecounter nicotine gum or patches, or prescription pills approved by the Pharmacare program. The government estimates it will cost $15 to 25 million per year, depending on how many smokers sign up. “As a physician, I am a bit ambivalent about your decision to fund nicotine replacement, as along with the drug there is also need for counselling and follow-up,” said one response posted on B.C.’s new open information website. Others objected to the decision to spend millions on nicotine replacement, while diabetics and other chronic disease patients have to pay to treat conditions they did not bring upon themselves. A Kelowna resident cited the example of treatment for his wife’s sleep apnea, including $100 a month in medicine and $2,000 for a machine recommended by her family doctor and cardiologist. “I honestly believe it is outright wrong to pay for this when smokers made a choice to start smoking and continue to make a choice every time they light up,” he said. A former smoker who quit before nicotine replacement was available also objected. “I realize [nicotine replacement] is expensive, but so are cigarettes,” the ex-smoker wrote. “If a person is desirous of quitting, then don’t buy cigarettes, buy the patch instead.” Others urged the B.C. government to extend the program to cover stop-smoking treatments that use lasers, acupuncture and other treatments. Several hypnotherapists sent a form letter urging the government to extend coverage to their form of smoking treatment. The health ministry estimates that more than 6,000 B.C. residents die from tobacco use each year. Tobacco-related illnesses cost an estimated $2.3 billion a year, $605 million of which is direct health-care costs. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Teen aims to get youth outdoors 3-on-3 basketball tournament today at West Shore rec Edward Hill News staff

A West Shore teen is encouraging youth to get outside with a three-on-three basketball tournament. Vienna Nguyen, a 14-year-old Langford student entering Grade 10 at Belmont, has organized a three-on-three tournament at the Paul Valentine courts at West Shore Parks and Recreation today (Aug. 12). The event is Nguyen’s “Get Outside B.C.” effort, an initiative of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society. The “Triple Threat Classic” tournament also corresponds with International Youth Day. “We all have to plan an event outside with the goal of getting youth outside,” Nguyen said. “I play a lot of basketball and

I thought a little competition would be fun and get youth out at the same time. “We want to show youth it’s fun being outdoors, it’s not just something parents do to get kids off the XBox.” A first-time event organizer,

Nguyen crafted the tournament logistics and planning with help from West Shore recreation staff. “It’s a lot to take on. But its a lot of fun to plan too,” she said. The tournament is Aug. 12, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Three-on-three teams can be co-ed and have

Grizz’ bolster line-up with trade, signing

A pair of off-season moves have reshaped the Victoria Grizzlies for the 2011-12 season. The Grizzlies traded away 17-year-old Evan Richardson for the rights to 20-year-old goalie Jamie Tucker in a three-team trade between the Penticton Vees and Powell River Kings. Tucker is a Victoria product who played for the junior-B Saanich Braves before joining the Western Hockey League. He broke in as a Vancouver Giant before moving to the Prince Albert Raiders where he played 40 games last year. Victoria also got 18-year-old defenceman Braden Pears and 18-year-old forward Scott Renner. Victoria originally secured the rights to B.C. Hockey League goaltender of the year Michael Garteig, before sending him to Penticton. Pears is from Victoria and has played two years in the BCHL with the Kings. The Grizz’ also acquired character leader Brad Gehl, the current captain of the Trenton Golden Hawks in the Ontario junior-A hockey league. Gehl, 20, is a 6-foot-3, 220 lbs. forward who scored 132 points in 86 games over the past two seasons.

Riding for a cause Kristen Douglas Black Press

fter losing his mom to cancer at the age of 16, Campbell River’s Shawn Hall knew he wanted to do something to help others fight the disease. When the opportunity to ride in the Canadian Cancer Society’s Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock came along, he jumped at the chance. “I’ve always wanted to do something for a worthy cause, especially Special cancer,” said feature Hall, a firefighter and an auxiliary Black Press police officer newspapers on with the Vancouver Island Campbell River will publish this RCMP. “It’s special feature something I don’t page spotlighting wish on any kid. police officers I saw the tour as taking part an opportunity in this year’s to help.” Canadian Cancer Although Society his cycling Cops for Cancer experience was Tour de Rock. limited, Hall said other police officers recognized the tour as something he would enjoy and be successful at. “Working up at the detachment, a couple of officers said, ‘Hey Shawn, you’d be good at that,’” Hall said. “It was definitely something I wanted to do, but I didn’t know if I was in good enough shape. I wasn’t too sure.” Before signing up for the tour, Hall occasionally would take his road bike for a spin, but nothing too serious. He has, however, cycled competitively on two different occasions. Twice he took part in the Comox Valley’s Royal LePage Snow to Surf Adventure Relay which combines skiing, running,

Campbell River firefighter and auxiliary RCMP officer Shawn Hall will ride the length of Vancouver Island in the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock to raise money for pediatric cancer research. mountain biking, kayaking, road cycling and canoeing. To gear up for the much longer, 1,000-kilometre Tour de Rock, which takes cyclists from one end of the Island to the other, Hall has been cycling three days a week. He and a team of police

officers and media personalities who represent the north half of the Island, ride together to build up their strength and endurance. On Tuesdays the group focuses on hill riding, typically 30 to 40 kilometres at a time, while Thursday night is reserved

for practising speed, again usually a 30- to 40-kilometre ride. Sundays are when the group does a more relaxing, but longer ride. Those trips tend to be around 100 kilometres. As the northern most member of the team, Hall typically has to drive down to either the Comox Valley, Parksville or Nanaimo for each ride. “It’s a lot of travel, definitely the whole summer it’s been a big commitment between training and fundraising, but it’s a good cause,” Hall said. So far, fundraisers have included a golf tournament at Storey’s Creek, bagging groceries at Thrifty Foods and cycling for about an hour on a stationary bicycle during Canada Day festivities. Hall plans to hold a few car washes and barbecues later this summer, as well as a possible wine tasting in the fall. The highlight of the journey so far for Hall was a recent trip to Camp Goodtimes on the Lower Mainland, a week-long summer camp for kids and teens battling cancer and their families. “We hung out with the kids and did a casino night with them,” Hall said. “We each took a game station and the kids went through and used fake money and they had a great time. We even had a pay-itforward booth where the kids could donate the money they had won to a charity.” Hall said thinking of those kids, and others who are battling cancer, will be what helps him push through the gruelling 14-day ride this fall. “It’s a long time to be on a bike, but then it’s not so bad when you think of why you’re riding and you just push through the pain because you know there’s kids going through worse than you.”
