GOLDSTREAM Off the ‘smart’ grid

News staff

West Shore voters united with the majority of British Columbians in rejecting the controversial harmonized sales tax in favour of the PST-GST system. Juan de Fuca voters mailed in 12,600 referendum ballots, with 62.5 per cent saying “yes” to extinguishing the HST. Esquimalt-Royal Roads had 58 per cent in favour of dumping the HST. Overall, 54.7 per cent of British Columbians who voted in the referendum rejected the tax. West Shore Chamber of Inside Commerce CEO Dan Spinner suspects the referendum results are more a repudiation ■ RRU business of how former premier Gordon prof Terry Power Campbell ushered in the tax says the Liberals shortly after the 2009 election, have the chance rather than a strong comment to fundamentally on tax policy. fix taxation. “The referendum was more Page A7 on (Campbell’s) style of leadership,” Spinner said, noting that the chamber remains neutral on the tax. “The HST was supposed to benefit small businesses, but I think there was always suspicion this was more about Howe Street than Main Street.” The West Shore business community was uniformly divided on the HST, with many in restaurant and new construction opposed, but with wholesalers and many retailers feeling less of a impact on their bottom lines. “This (referendum) tells the government to be careful how it governs. That if they make public announcements, they need to create a public trust,” Skinner said. “People want the government to put in good tax policy, but more so they want the government to be straight with them.” PLEASE SEE: ‘Enormous uncertainty’, Page A6

Breaking the ice Langford’s new ice rink opens; bowling to roll in October

Edward Hill/News staff

Langford Coun. Lanny Seaton and Accent Refrigeration’s Greg Hillman stand near the cooling ice at the Sportspex in City Center Park. Juan de Fuca hockey players are scheduled to break in the new ice sheet today.

Edward Hill News staff

Fresh ice will have a few fleeting moments of peace before young hockey players dig into Langford’s rink at City Centre Park today, the first new ice in the region in six years. Late last week crews built up layers of ice to create one and a quarter inch thick slab before the NHL-sized surface was painted and lined. The 500 seats are installed, but on Friday the Zamboni was still in it’s shipping crate and a few dressing rooms were a work in progress.

“We’ve pushed it to get the kids on the ice,” said Langford Coun. Lanny Seaton, chair of the city’s parks and recreation committee. “The guys have worked feverishly to get this done. I’m optimistic we’ll be open (today).” Langford’s $14.1-million Sportsplex will offer welcome relief for busy ice sheets at West Shore parks and rec as the hockey season ramps up — kids from the overburdened Juan de Fuca minor hockey will have the honour of breaking in the ice. Entry to the arena is

restricted to scheduled users for now, but the ice rink will quickly become a hive of activity — ice time is booked solid for the next eight months, said City Centre Park operator Kristin St. Cyr. “There’s a few spots open, but there has been high demand,” St. Cyr said. As construction winds down, Accent Refrigeration will start tuning its groundbreaking energy recovery system, which promises to capture 100 per cent of heat expelled from the ice plant. A bed of sand a foot under the ice will absorb and feed heat to high-efficiency heat

pump systems that warm running water and change rooms, and melt ice peeled off by the Zamboni. Expelled heat will help power the air handling systems, which will mercifully exhaust the stink of sweaty hockey gear. “We might not use it all in the summer, but in the winter we will,” said Greg Hillman, with Accent. “This system will recover all the heat and use a number of creative ways to heat the entire building.”

Family works hard to live Can smart meters affect your health? free of radio frequencies Charla Huber News staff

Kimberly Grigg heads to the stove and places last night’s leftovers in a steamer. It’s been 12 years since she heated any food in a microwave. Grigg is devoted to reducing the amount of radio-frequency electromagnetic fields her family is exposed to. For her, being asked to accept a BC Hydro smart meter attached to her Highlands home crosses the line. “I think it’s an outrage ... it’s an violation of my freedom,” said Grigg, who lives without household devices that emit radio frequencies, such as clock radio and hair dryers. “We are already forced to live in an environment that is totally toxic and it’s bad enough without having it attached to your house. We’ve made choices here and I don’t want (BC Hydro) to take that away from us.” The Grigg family only uses the Internet with the moderm directly plugged into the computer. The family never use their laptop computer while it’s charging. “The EMFs are 100 times higher when its charging,” Grigg said. When they want to make a phone call they use the stationary telephone plugged into the wall. She is aware that she can’t completely avoid radio frequencies in her home. “We enjoy watching movies (at home), but my kids aren’t allowed within five feet of the TV,” Grigg said. “We understand we are in a world that it is impossible to avoid EMFs, but we can minimize our exposure by lifestyle choices. We chose to move to the Highlands — this is the last rural outpost in Victoria.” B.C. residents can’t opt out of having a smart meter, said Ted Olynyk of BC Hydro, but the meter doesn’t have to be attached to a house. “What we are doing is working with our customers and we can (install) the meter away from their home,” he said. Homeowners can hire a electrician to move the current analog meter to a desired distance from the home, which will be location for a future smart meter. BC Hydro will delay smart meter installation for a analog meter to be moved if notified. The option of having a wired smart meter is not possible, said Olynyk,

Charla Huber/News staff

Highlands family Kimberly Grigg and her children Logan and Sierra choose to life their lives with as little exposure to electromagnetic fields as possible. They don’t have a microwave or a cordless phone and they don’t want a BC Hydro smart meter. adding it would only work if each meter had a dedicated phone line. Even if Grigg was able to deny BC Hydro the right to install a smart meter, she said if her neighbours wanted them, those electromagnetic frequencies would still affect her. Olynyk said his family has no issue with smart meters and will gladly welcome one on his home. He has two children and wireless Internet. Radio frequencies run from 30 kilohertz to 300 gigahertz, and are emitted by cell phones, wireless Internet routers, cordless phones, broadcast antennas and Bluetooth devices. “(Smart meters send) radio waves much like AM or FM radio signals,” Olynyk said. Even though Health Canada has deemed radio frequencies produced by smart meters as safe, Grigg isn’t convinced. For the past five years, she has been concerned about “damage that (electromagnetic frequencies) do to the body’s systems.” Olynyk pointed out smart meters will only emit information four to six times a day with a maximum of one minute in total each day. “Wi-Fi is all around us, if you wait in a Wi-Fi coffee shop for four minutes, that’s equal to one year exposure of a smart meter and that’s if you are standing next to the meter every time

(it sends out information).” Olynyk said a smart meter emits two microwatts per cubic centimetre, where Health Canada standards allow up to 600 microwatts per cubic centimetre. The Griggs say their lifestyle is built on keeping a healthy environment. They don’t use paper towels, eat fast food or use any environmentally-toxic chemicals in or outside their home. Their clothes are made with natural fibres and Grigg homeschools her children. Olynyk argues that smart meters will help play a role in helping the environment too. When a smart meter is installed, BC Hydro customers can use an in-home device or the Internet to monitor their real-time energy consumption. “It’s important for people to see what would happen if (they) turn off this light,” Olynyk said. People will soon be able to ask themselves, “How much energy will I save?” Just by having a smart meter, Olynyk said people will easily be able to conserve 15 per cent of their previous energy consumption. “We are one of the biggest consumers of electricity in the world,” he said. “It puts (control) back in peoples’ hands.” reporter@goldstreamgazette.com

Radio waves are all around us. There are natural radio waves from the sun and from lightning. There are manmade radio waves used for television, radios for music, two-way radios in aircraft, boats, taxis and emergency vehicles, microwave ovens, cordless phones, wireless Internet (Wi-Fi), cellphones, and now smart meters. With all these radio waves around us, should we worry about their effect on human health? Radio waves from microwaves are clearly not safe — they can cook you. The reason being that they are high power, in close proximity, and run for a prolonged period of time. Alternately, AM radio waves are generally considered safe. Though they are high power and run almost all the time, they come from far away. To check out the safety of radio waves, we have to crunch the numbers on power, distance and time. The effect of power and distance is determined by the so-called “field strength” of the radio wave, measured as power per unit area (e.g. watts per square centimetre). For the same power, if the distance is doubled, the field strength drops four-fold. If the distance is increased 100fold, then the field strength drops 10,000-fold. The dosage is the combination of field strength and time. If you double the time of exposure, the dosage is doubled. Peter Driessen For example, a typical cellphone Guest Column emits less than one watt of power, but can be very close (less than one centimetre away from your head) and may be used up to several hours per day. As another example, a typical wireless Internet router or laptop emits less than one-tenth of a watt. It can be as close as half a metre away and may be used much of the day. The distance is 100 times further from your head than a cellphone, so the field strength from wireless internet is 10,000 times less. The effect of Wi-Fi is generally much less controversial than that of cellphones. A typical smart meter emits about one watt of power, but is usually several meters away, and typically emits for only about a minute per day. So the field strength from a typical smart meter is about the same or less than that of Wi-Fi, but it is significantly less active than Wi-Fi. The effect of smart meters on human health should be similar or less than the effect that Wi-Fi has on human health. The effect on individuals may vary. Just as some people sunburn quickly and others are more tolerant, it may be that your individual tolerance to radio waves may be lower or higher than others. If you are comfortable with Wi-Fi in your home, then you need not worry about smart meters. But, if you choose to avoid using Wi-Fi in your home because you have health concerns, then you may want to avoid smart meters. Peter F. Driessen is a professor in the department of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Victoria.

The province’s plan to create a civic spending watchdog that might find efficiencies and uncover waste will be a hot topic at this fall’s Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) convention. UBCM president Barbara Steele denies mayors and councillors are fearful of the government’s intent to appoint a municipal auditor-general, but says they have plenty of questions. “There doesn’t seem to be a local government opposed to somebody coming in and checking out the books, checking the spending and even checking for best practices,” Steele said. “The concern is we don’t know what the auditor-general is supposed to do or what’s broken. We don’t know what they’re looking to fix.” Some civic leaders suspect the audits could limit their

autonomy or constrain their ability to pursue different approaches or policies. Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Ida Chong has said civic performance audits wouldn’t overrule local governments but would highlight areas communities could save money. She also indicated they could look at property tax rates — industry and business have long demanded a mechanism to cap and perhaps reduce what they pay. The municipal auditor-general initiative was a promise of Premier Christy Clark when she ran for the B.C. Liberal leadership. The issue will be the topic of

a workshop with Chong at the UBCM convention at the end of September. But Steele and others don’t see how there’s much time for the province to meaningfully consult cities if Victoria aims to create the new office during an expected sitting of the legislature in October. Cities are already subject to balanced budget legislation that bans deficits and pay for their own auditors that report each year. That’s raised concern that the effort might create duplication. Cities already work together closely — often coordinated through UBCM — to compare best practices and share them, Steele added. She noted Chong has now indicated the costs of the auditor may be downloaded onto cities. “At no time had we been told that we would bear the cost of this,” she said. “So you can bet that’s going to be a concern.”

Tom Lundrigan is the first of potentially hundreds of Colwood homeowners to install a solar hot water system in their homes through the Solar Colwood project. Grants from the project and two levels of government cut more than 60 per cent from his installation cost.

Sunshine feeds first Solar Colwood retrofit Edward Hill News staff

With two solar panels bolted to the south wall of Tom Lundrigan’s Colwood home, it’s one system down, 879 to go. The 27-year-old is the first to have a solar hot water system installed through the $3.9million Solar Colwood project. Using a series of municipal, provincial and federal grants, the project is offering varying levels of rebates for 880 solar hot water and 120 ductless heat pump systems. “I saw the opportunity to improve the efficiency of my house and to see the different stages of how the process works,” said Lundrigan, who works as a home energy efficiency consultant. He admits his house is “a little leaky” in

terms of heat loss. “Seeing how my house is becoming energy efficient is something I can relay to homeowners.” With $3,000 from Solar Colwood, $500 from LiveSmart BC and $1,250 from the federal ecoEnergy Retrofit program, Lundrigan will pay about $2,300 for his Viessmann solar hot water heating system. Energy from two solar panels flows to a closed-loop glycol heat exchange, which warms tap water before it’s stored in a 40-gallon tank. That pre-heated water is then transferred to the home’s hot water tank. James Smyth with Pacific Solar Smart, which installed the system, estimates a large family would save $500 per year in electricity costs, giving the solar

hot water system a five or six year pay back period with the grants. Such systems can last for many decades Smyth said — solar panels installed in the 1970s still work well today. He also noted that pre-heating water with a solar system reduces power consumption and extends the life of heating elements within home’s hot water tank. “Hot water tanks have 70 per cent less heat load,” Smyth said. To qualify for LiveSmart BC and ecoEnergy grants, homeowners require a home energy audit.

The provincial government says the transition back to the five per cent GST and seven per cent PST “with all permanent exemptions,” will take until March 2013. The B.C. government will have to borrow to pay back the $1.6 billion transition fund from the federal government, with a payment schedule that will have to be negotiated with Ottawa. Esquimalt-Royal Roads MLA Maurine Karagianis (NDP) called the referendum results “a good day for democracy.” Karagianis said the B.C. Liberal government’s expectations of a difficult transition back to the old tax are overblown. The province can work a repayment plan with the feds for the $1.6 billion in HST transition funding, she said. “The government kept the (2009) deficit hidden and would have had to borrow money at any rate, probably from the feds,” Karagianis said. “I don’t see the transfer funds as being a big bogeyman.” Campbell announced the 12 per cent tax in July 2009, not long after a provincial election and in the wake of the world economic recession. Former premier Bill Vander Zalm quickly launched a grassroots anti-HST crusade that gathered enough voter signatures to trigger the referendum, and quash the tax.

“It wasn’t a difficult sell,” added John Horgan, MLA for Juan de Fuca. “The government’s effort to soften the blow was unsuccessful. They couldn’t gloss over the transfer from consumer’s wallets to corporations. “In our area, in Langford, Metchosin and Sooke, people weren’t prepared to accept that.”

“The referendum is a good sign people are paying attention and were deeply offended.” –Maurine Karagianis MLA, Esquimalt-Royal Roads Horgan said the 18-month transition period is excessive — he pointed out the HST was brought in within a year from its announcement. “That’s an enormous amount of uncertainty for the economy,” he said. “Why would anyone make a major purchase now when it will be HST exempt down the road?” An independent panel that analyzed ramifications of the HST predicted families would pay $1.33 billion more in sales tax and businesses will pay about $730 million less in tax in 2011-12. The panel said the HST would have a net benefit to the economy and moving back to the

old system would have negative economic consequences. “I think the original stop-HST movement took us all by surprise,” Karagianis said. “It was a big surprise to see hundreds of thousands of people reject the Liberal’s HST plan because of the way it was brought in. “The referendum is a good sign people are paying attention and were deeply offended. It’s a great day for B.C.” “This tax became a symbol for the government thinking it is right,” Horgan said. “Had they recognized a year and a half ago the public didn’t want this, it would have saved a lot of grief and a lot of money. There’s not a lot of support for B.C. Liberals these days, and this tax is a large reason why.”

To buy or not to buy a new home?

The introduction of the HST more than a year ago threw a confusing wrench into construction and new housing projects, and the retraction of the tax is expected to do the same. Jim Hartshorne, president of the West Shore Developers Association, said he hopes the government clarifies rules around the 18-month transition period as soon as possible. HST added seven per cent to new home purchases, although federal and provincial rebates offset some of that increase. Under HST, new homes priced less than $525,000 paid less tax than under PST-GST due to government grants. Hartshorne said City of Langford most developers Notice of absorbed the added HST and “took the hit Encroachment Easement to take away the uncertainty.” The transition back to GST-PST could The City of Langford gives notice that it intends to grant an easement sow confusion among over part of the highway known as Goldstream Avenue, as shown on people who have the Plan EPP14179 below, for the purpose of supporting part of the roof bought homes in the cap, part of the balcony, part of the brick facing along the southwesterly past year and those wall of the building at 662 Goldstream Avenue, legally described as who are buying homes PID 028-219-635, Lot 1, Section 72, Esquimalt District, Plan VIP87907. now.

A lot of people in the development industry don’t know how they are going to go from HST back to PST now.” Spinner said people might hold back on buying a house, but he suspects it will be a minor blip for the construction industry in the longer term. “The closer we get to the end of 18 months, it’s possible people might wait,” he said.

HST transition time chance to reform tax system, says prof Edward Hill News staff

B.C. voters have ditched the controversial HST, but a Royal Road University business professor says the time is still ripe for the province to streamline it’s sales tax system. Terry Power, a professor of strategic and advanced international studies in the RRU school of management, argues the HST was a good system for British Columbia, but rolled out in a ham-fisted way due to shabby planning. Like many observers, Power blames the failure of the HST referendum on how former premier Gordon Campbell imposed the tax shortly after the 2009 election, and with no broad public consultation.

Power suspects mounting Winter Olympic costs may have spurred the government to seek new revenues more than the lagging global economy, and says the $1.6 billion in transition funding was a “quick fix” for a government in panic. “The process was not done correctly due to the idiosyncrasies of (Campbell),” Power said. “The HST was a good tax, it was a step toward what I call a universal flat tax.” The 18 month transition period to revert back to GSTPST gives the government the window to create a simple single sales tax system in an open and transparent way, he said. Small and medium business is overburdened with red tape, Power argues, and sales taxes, if not income taxes, should be

simplified for all. “The government is at a crossroads. It can return to GST-PST and hire 300 tax collectors and spend $300 million,” he said. “Or they can take the opportunity to revise the tax system and return to a flat tax, if (the government) communicates what it’s doing. Campbell tried to hand down change without communicating,” Anything akin to the HST might be seen as politically toxic within government, but Power said Premier Christy Clark isn’t completely tarnished by the Campbell era. “I think people will work with Clark,” he said. “She has demonstrated a willingness to collaborate and talk with people.” editor@goldstreamgazette.com

The heat capture and distribution system is complex, with hundreds of components and control points that need to work in sync. Hillman said it will take time to fine tune the system. “Once we have a full year behind us we can see how many kilowatts are consumed compared to similar rinks,” he said. On the other side of the wall from the rink, the bowling centre isn’t quite ready to roll, but it’s getting close. Twenty lanes are installed and

levelled, as are rows of industrial looking pin-wracking machines. Crews are working to complete the cedar facade on the building, giving it a definite West Coast feel. The bowling centre has a hard Oct. 22 opening date to reintroduce 10-pin bowling to the region, later than Langford would have preferred. Design changes in the kitchen and lounge have delayed progress. “The lounge area has taken a long time. It’s always that way with new buildings,” Seaton said. “But we’re getting down to the nitty-gritty now. The place is starting to look good.”

Langford home puts ‘suburban’ into reality TV Charla Huber News staff

In a tough real estate market, Langford home owners Kevin Kersten and his wife Karina, are hoping to use reality TV to sell their home. The Langford home will be profiled on the Home and Garden Television network program Urban Suburban. On the show, a young family from Victoria will scope out houses in both the urban setting of Victoria and in the suburban areas of the West Shore. “Basically it’s the age old decision,” said Sarah Daniels, the show’s host who is also a real estate agent. “(Viewers will) see the opportunity for how far a dollar goes.” Other than solely looking at the homes in both areas, Daniels said the show will also compare commute times and the proximity of schools and day care centres for each home. After all the homes are viewed and profiled, home buyers will decided if it’s “worth the extra time in the car,” Daniels said, adding more often in the suburbs

The Kerten’s home had been on the market for nearly three months when they were asked to include it in the “suburban” por-

tion of the program. “I am happy HGTV finds my home worthy of the show,” Kevin said. “The only reason we are selling is I need more land (for my business).”

The Kersten’s 3,200 square foot, four bedroom home on Bellamy Road has a one-bedroom suite. While having his home featured on TV is an interesting experience, he said the bottom line is

“the show is less important. I want to sell my home.” The Kerstens are looking to purchase a home in Metchosin, with more space for their landscaping business. Kevin said he loves the West Shore area and his wife isn’t bothered by commuting to downtown Victoria to work. “We have everything that downtown (Victoria) has,” he said. Urban Suburban contacted real estate agent Patrick Novotny from ReMax Camosun in the process of scouting potential homes in Greater Victoria. “People who chose to be downtown get much older houses and much smaller homes (than on the West Shore),” Novotny noted. For this house in particular, Novotny said he thinks it was selected for the show because “it shows really well. The house is renovated and it’s a great value.” Urban Suburban film crew have been profiling homes coast to coast in cities such as Halifax, Montreal and Vancouver. The episode featuring Langford and Victoria homes is scheduled to air on Oct. 26. reporter@goldstreamgazette.com

Despite healthy lifestyles, Islander life expectancy lagging, says VIHA Natalie North News staff

Vancouver Island residents are at risk of a reduced life expectancy, according to a report issued by Vancouver Island Health Authority’s chief medical health officer. The Health Status of Vancouver Island Residents Report 2010 looked at a variety of health indicators and social factors that impact long-term health. “Overall, residents in our region have higher rates of physical activity and healthy eating compared to other regions,” said Dr. Richard

Stanwick. “Unfortunately, the global economic downturn has impacted our region’s socio-economic conditions which can undermine longterm health status.” Among some of the report’s findings, Stanwick noted Vancouver Island’s slightly higher premature mortality rate, its growing over-65 population and a change in life-expectancy trends. Universal gains in life expectancy have also lagged slightly on Vancouver Island compared to the provincial average. Additionally, the maintenance of a healthy weight

“We continue to be national leaders in healthy eating but the size of our lead is diminishing and our collective waistlines are not.” –Dr. Richard Stanwick

continues to be a challenge for individuals locally, provincially and nationally, wrote Stanwick in the report’s final pages. “We continue to be national

leaders in healthy eating but the size of our lead is diminishing and our collective waistlines are not.” To help counter possible long-term effects of the risk factors, Stanwick underlined the importance of prevention programs. “For example, our premature mortality rates are higher than the provincial average. These rates are due to suicides, motor vehicle crashes and diseases, many of which are associated with alcohol abuse and smoking, which are entirely preventable.” editor@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW

HST vote heralds end of Liberals L et’s face it, the HST referendum and debate wasn’t really over an unpopular tax. People didn’t vote to get rid of it because they loved the PST-GST combination, much less understood how it was being administered. It was, like so many elections fought over the years, a vote of confidence, or lack thereof in the government and its policies. What the resulting vote to extinguish the HST indicates is that the B.C. Liberals’ time in power in British Columbia, unless some very drastic steps are taken to woo voters, is fast coming to a close. The HST referendum acted as a kind of dry run to the provincial election. It had very similar elements to a political campaign: dislike for the current government, fanned by how the combined tax was introduced; an ambitious politician Bill VanderZalm who was anxious to champion the cause of the so-called “working people”; and a simple method of changing things, by voting against it. Regardless whether peoples’ reasoning for voting for or against the HST was sound — the complexities of tax policy are lost on most people — it was based on trust. While many have celebrated the result, everyone needs to brace for the aftermath. The province, having committed to restoring previous PST exemptions and looking at $360 million less in tax revenue annually, will immediately seek ways to make up the difference — the Liberals have no appetite for operating deficits. By the time the province returns to the GSTPST combo in 2013, the B.C. government will have spent hundreds of millions backtracking and recreating tax infrastructure. Then there’s that little point of having to repay $1.6 billion to the feds. The could mean cuts to ministries, tax hikes or some combination of the two. The ironic part of this “people’s referendum” is that we may well have put the B.C. Liberals in a similar financial mess to the one they inherited from the NDP back in 2001.

When those two “parties” constitute a majority, they can force the government to satisfy their demands without regard to economic reality. This is what has happened in Greece. It is very close to happening in other European countries, and today B.C. is a step closer to it. When the verdict came in on the HST referendum, Finance Minister Kevin Falcon talked about going around to consult the public on how to reinstate the provincial sales tax. He vowed that B.C. will somehow still balance its budget in two years, and seemed to leave the door open to some minor modifications of the sales tax system. Premier Christy Clark quickly shut that door. It would be “disrespectful” to do anything other than bring back the post-war PST in all its rustic beauty, with the little boutique exemptions like bicycles and Toyota Priuses that have been attached by politicians over the years. Self-employed business people can now look forward to collecting and remitting two separate taxes again. There will be a cost to this “people’s victory.” It will involve reducing public services, raising taxes or both. tfletcher@blackpress.ca —Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com.

Let's figure it out: To say I was surprised According to Statistics Canada, would be an understatement as I more than 71,000 men are older never had any symptoms of any than 45 within the Capital Region. kind. If one in six men over the age Luckily for me we caught it

of 45 is likely to develop this disease, then sadly, I am estimating that at least 11,800 of our male colleagues in the CRD — maybe even you — will get this disease during our lifetimes. Incredibly, many of these men older than 40 will still refuse to get an annual PSA. Why is that? They don't want to spend the $40? Call me and I will pay it for you. You don't want somebody poking into your rear end? I can tell you it's better to have it done than the pain and uncertainty of late stage cancer and cancer treatments. I got lucky — my surgery was a great success, six months later my PSA is zero — basically I have a high probability of being completely cancer free.

But all our brothers who don't, can't or won't bother to get tested annually will not be so lucky. This cancer doesn't have to maim or kill you if you catch it early enough, but remaining ignorant will undoubtedly change those chances. Experts tell us that with early detection, prostate cancer can be curable, with a 90 to 95 per cent success rate of not only surviving but also fully recovering functionality. Ask your doctor about the statistics for late detection — they are not so good. Linking community leadership is simple. Our chamber is committed to fostering a healthy community in the West Shore. Most of us have some leadership role to play whether it be as a leader in the work place, as a

dad, granddad, spouse, coach for a sports team or in a church or local charity. In other words, others rely on us, depend upon us and they need us to be healthy role models. They don't need us in denial or neglecting our bodies and our body's needs. I got lucky because a good friend shared his death-bed lesson. Don't wait to get lucky, get your annual PSA. Do it for your community. Do it for your family. Do it for yourself. Our communities are healthier when we are healthier — be a real man and step-up and, if required, bend over and smile. dspinner@westshore.bc.ca — Dan Spinner is the CEO of the WestShore Chamber of Commerce.

LETTERS Good reasons for adding ‘royal’ Re: Adding ‘royal’ not time well spent, Letters, Aug. 24, 2011. I would like to respond to Don Wilkes’ letter. I’ll begin by addressing the reinstitution of “royal” to Canada’s navy and air force but not the army. Prior to the 1968 integration of the military services into one unified structure we had a Royal Canadian Navy, a Royal Canadian Air Force and a Canadian Army (no royal). The reason the army in and of itself was never “royal” is because many Regiments within the army were designated as Royal. Examples include the Royal Canadian Regiment, the Royal Canadian Dragoons, the Royal 22nd Regiment and Royal Canadian Artillery.

Interestingly with the disbandment of the RCN, RCAF and Canadian Army, those regiments continued to exist and retained their royal designation. They remain today, with the same royal name that they have always had. In the army then, and in the army today, pride and a sense of belonging are more toward one’s regiment than to the army as a whole. Whether the particular regiment is “royal” or not has no bearing on a soldier’s pride or sense of belonging to that regiment. Reinstating “royal” to the navy and air force is an acknowledgement of this country’s military history and heritage. It will result in little if any functional change to how our armed forces conduct business. In this country we encourage ethnic diversity. Many segments of our society celebrate their eth-

nicity and traditions. Why is it then that those of us who are of British heritage are accused of wanting to subjugate Canada to mother England when we acknowledge our heritage? I have not heard anyone ever complain about the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, the Royal Bank of Canada, the Royal Colwood Golf Club nor any “royal” anything else. Why complain about the navy and air force getting back what was stripped from them years ago? Ken Hanlan Colwood

Smart meters invade privacy The Liberal government has legislated away our privacy by forcing BC Hydro to install smart

meters in every home without home owner’s consent. The Clean Energy Act dictates this must be completed before December 2012. What the act does not take into consideration is how the Itron OpenWay Centron Smart Meters invade people’s personal privacy. Itron’s website has a linked video describing in detail how the OpenWay meter’s record and report in five minute intervals what specific electronic devices are on in your house. BC Hydro can track when you are away and what devices you are using when you are home. This means that a court order is no longer required to monitor people. You also don’t have a choice as there is no opt-out option. The fact that the government would not only allow this type of privacy invasion but legislate it and force it onto every person in

B.C. is incomprehensible. Lara Allsopp Langford Letters continued on Page A12

Re: Outwitting the political bank robbers, Think About It, Aug. 24, 2011. G.E. Mortimore is actually comparing Canada’s borrowing of money to cover its overspending with North Dakota’s saving of funds which it lends through a bank it runs. Mortimore accuses Canadian lenders of stealing because the government of Canada borrows money from them, for which they charge the time value of the medium of exchange called “money.” Most of those lenders are Canadian individuals through their interest-paying deposits in the banks and credit unions he rants against. (Banks and credit unions are only middlemen, administering and spreading risk, with just a modest amount of their own money involved.) Mortimore’s rant sounds like Marxist fixed-pie exploitation theory, complete with contradictions (which Marxism says are good, in contrast to Aristotle and Ayn Rand who said “A is A”.)

The Donnelly Sideshow

From a pun-tastic professional stand-up comedian in a too-short tie to an obnoxious 16-year-old girl, Andrew Barber’s live characters prove he’s more than just an Internet sensation. Barber, star of the Boston Fan in Vancouver YouTube series, assumed four characters over the hour-long, one-man show, each cooly evoking raucous of laughter from the audience. Between sets, those not acquainted with Barber had a chance to sample some of his viral videos, notably Fantasticat!, a bizarre and hilarious peek inside the doors of a cat show, hosted by his lounge singer character Philippe-John Braynard. Fans of Barber’s videos should definitely check this out, as should anyone looking for a solid hour of laughs and a new means of procrastinating online. ★★★1/2 (out of five) Remaining showtimes: Sat.

Musicians team up for intimate café show Ryan Flaherty News staff

It’s been a busy year for Victoria’s Carli and Julie Kennedy. The twin sisters have played shows all over B.C. and recently released their second EP, Small Town Stories. They’ll soon head east for the Canadian Country Music Awards and a stint in Nashville, Tenn., but before that they’ve got a special gig planned right here at home. The show came about after the Kennedys attended the Vancouver Island Music Business Conference in Comox. That’s where the sisters met singer-songwriter Ellisa Hartman. “We became instant best friends,” Julie said. “We like each other’s style of music. You know how you just meet people “We became and hit it off?

musicians, we have to remind ourselves, ‘Oh yeah, we have to put this into words. They can’t read our minds.’” Hartman and the Kennedys will perform at Café Spresso, 645 Tyee Rd., at 8 p.m. on Friday (Sept. 2). Tickets are available at the door and cost $10, or $5 for children 15 and younger. editor@oakbaynews.com

Helping stock student lockers B.C. is the frontrunner in the national campaign, started in Nanaimo in 2007. Last year, Greater Victoria Staples stores raised $15,000 for the cause. For 2011, they’ve upped their goal to $25,000. “This year, we’re reaching out further,” Balshaw said. One hundred per cent of the donations go toward the supplies without any administration costs, allowing the business to stretch donations as far as possible. “We want to get it

Natalie North News staff

The best part about raising funds to buy school supplies for students in need is what happens once the money is spent. Bobbi Balshaw, business support manager at the Millstream Staples Business Depot has been involved with the Stock the Lockers school supply drive since it was first held on the South Island three years ago. Her reward, she says, is sharing the moment when teachers and student representatives who pick up the gift cards and shop for the students who wouldn’t otherwise have supplies for the upcoming school year. “When they’ve got three or four shopping carts of stuff and they’re almost in tears, it’s pretty exciting,” Balshaw said. Through September, customers at Staples can give at the till, or donate particular items of need at any of the three locations in Greater Victoria: 789 McCallum Dr. in Langford; 747 Fort St. in Victoria; and 780 Tolmie Ave. in Saanich.

Stock the Lockers is aided by local branches of the Royal Canadian Legion and supports students at schools throughout Greater Victoria and elsewhere on the Island. Families in need of supplies may submit their names to their school’s principal, who will then pass that information along to Staples. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Eyes at School

We all know that a student should be able to read what the teacher writes on the board, but there is more to good vision than this. Vision skills including depth perception, eye co-ordination and even color vision can have an effect on a child’s performance at school. While parents and teachers recognize the importance of vision in the development and well being of children, there are youngsters who fall behind at school because of undetected vision problems. Today, some school districts perform vision screening for their students. These valuable screenings do catch many vision problems that result in a decrease in visual acuity. However, some vision problems may slip through the cracks and these screenings should not be confused with a thorough vision examination by a Doctor of Optometry. Teachers are often the first people to pick up a vision problem at school. An observant parent is also in an excellent position to pick up on any symptoms of vision problems in a young child. Although the following list isn’t considered exhaustive, signs to look for include: Covering an eye or closing an eye; squinting; turning or tilting the head to one side; rubbing the eyes; headaches; especially after reading; reports of blurred vision; and losing one’s place while reading. If there is any question about a child’s vision, a complete eye examination is recommended.

When her friend failed to call to confirm the lunch date she had set, Muriel Jean Veinot was confused. So, on the first day of August, Veinot rang Dorothy Mearns. “Did you get the invitation?” Veinot asked. “What invitation?” Veinot was shocked: nearly two weeks earlier — July 20 — she had popped the lunch invitation into the mail. In fact, she had handed it to a Canada Post worker at a downtown branch, who hand-stamped the letter before Veinot’s eyes. Turns out, the letter didn’t find its way to Mearns’ mailbox in Esquimalt until Aug. 5 — 12 business days after it was mailed. “It’s just total idiocy,” Veinot, 86, said. “They’re supposed to be offering a service, and I mail a lot of letters.” Veinot isn’t the only one aghast at Canada Post’s delivery times lately. Victoria MP Denise Savoie tracked how long it took for her contacts to receive mail lately. “I have done a little test myself and I have seen the same results as (Veinot),” she told the News. By now, any backlog of mail accumulated during the postal strike and lockout of mid-June has been cleared, confirmed Canada Post’s director of communications, Colleen Frick. The postal service’s delivery standard within Victoria is two days. “It’s very unfortunate,” Frick said of Veinot’s experience. “It’s not something we would say is at all within our service commitment to our customers.” She added: “One has to be careful about making general assumptions about a couple of mail items that unfortunately did take longer to arrive than our delivery standard. I say this because we deliver about 200,000 pieces of mail every day in Greater Victoria and we meet our delivery standards on that mail 96 per cent of the time.” From conversations with Victoria-area postal workers, Savoie has heard that short-staffing is a major problem. Canada Post denies that, but the MP believes there’s a bigger factor at play. “It looks like (the federal government) wants the public to lose confidence in the system, so they can drive them to private courier carriers,” she said. Whatever the case, Veinot isn’t impressed. The 12-day letter was sent the same day as another, destined for a friend living on Gorge Road.

Victoria cyclist to don the maple leaf Athlete will compete for Canada at world road racing championships Travis Paterson News staff

It’s 10:30 a.m. and Adam de Vos’ bedhead hair might be hidden beneath his helmet, but his sleepy eyes give him away on this summer morning. Decked in his Team Canada cycling jersey, de Vos walks his bike along Clover Point. “I really just got (out of bed) and came down here. It’s all training and sleeping right now,” said the teenaged cyclist who was recently named to Canada’s junior (U19) team for the UCI World Championships in Denmark from Sept. 20 to 25. The 17-year-old picked up a silver medal at the Western Canadian Games earlier this month, his last major competition. It’s been a steep rise. Ten months ago de Vos was a member of the Oak Bay Orcas swim team, racing at the regional level. Now he’s going international on cycling’s biggest stage. “I feel like it’s been a huge step. I’ve barely been home this summer with all the travel and races,” de Vos said. His hello moment as a cyclist came in June when de Vos broke out at the Canadian junior nationals in Burlington, Ont. He was fifth in the junior men’s road race, seventh in the time trial and sixth in the short-lap criterium. His consistency in all three disciplines got him noticed for the Denmark event, one of two junior cyclists from B.C. to make the Canadian team. The other is Brentwood Bay’s Annie Ewart. De Vos credits local cycling enthusiast Lister Farrar for starting a team at Oak Bay High to compete in the Victoria high school cycling league. “I knew I was done with swimming. If it wasn’t

for the school league, I’m not sure what I’d be doing. De Vos made the transition from training in the pool five times a week to the bike just as he was starting Grade 12. “Once we got the team started de Vos was one of a half-dozen kids who kept coming out,” Farrar said. “His first race was the high school category of the Bastion Square Criterium (June 2010). He wiped out but still made it back to the lead pack. That was something not many people can do.” Right away, de Vos said he knew he was able to keep up with the stronger cyclists. In his first full, high school racing season he won a couple of road races early. “That was what did it. Swimming taught me a lot, particularly how to train properly, and has led to my success,” de Vos said. “Being outdoors is a lot more entertaining and I’m winning at a much higher level than I did as a swimmer.” Before he raced the Western Canadian Games in early August, de Vos took part in the 2011 Tour de l’Abitibi, July 19-26 in Quebec. Abitibi is a junior competition with teams from France, the U.S. and Japan. De Vos managed the best finish by a Canadian, placing fourth on the seventh and final stage.

Juniors pump their tires

This summer, de Vos was one of seven Oak Bay High students to ride as part of the Tripleshot cycling club’s new under-19 racing team. De Vos will compete in the world championship road race but not the time trial. Junior women’s national road race and time trial champion Annie Ewart will do both. Ewart, who turns 18 the week following the world championships, nearly swept all three junior national races but was second in the criterium. Ewart rides with the Victoria Academy of Cycling junior team, also a fairly new program.

Adam de Vos will compete for Canada’s U19 team at the UCI Road Race World Championships in Denmark, Sept. 19-25.

B.C.’s youth rugby squads won two golds, a silver and a bronze at the nationals in Calgary ending Aug. 21. Castaway-Wanderers players Mike Dalsin, Stephen Grdic, Fergus Hall, Sean Kinsella and Jeff Nishima Miller helped B.C.’s under-18 team to a 38-33 win in the national championship against Ontario. Both of B.C.’s U16 boys’ teams won medals with south Island help. Chris Myles from Saanich’s Velox rugby club was part of the B.C. No. 1 team that ran away with the national championship, clobbering Newfoundland in the final 88-5. Team No. 1’s biggest challenge was beating B.C. No. 2 in the semifinal 29-17 . Fellow Velox player Kyle Bodnarchuk was on B.C. No. 2 along with a trio of CastawayWanderers: Liam Aylesworth, Jack Nyren and Morgan Tate.

Collaboration helps ease the pain of divorce Emma Prestwich News staff

Shelley Garner never expected to get divorced. The 45-year-old Saanich woman’s husband asked for a separation in November 2007 after more than 20 years of marriage — and was pursuing a divorce. When Garner’s husband suggested the idea of collaborative family law, a type of conflict resolution in which both participants agree not to go to court, she agreed. “I didn’t hate him, but the marriage was over,” she said. But Garner wasn’t emotionally prepared for the first four-way meeting, in which both participants talk in person about their goals for the collaborative process, helped along by their lawyers. “The first meeting was very upsetting,” Garner said. “But once I got through it and had a sense of everything, it definitely got easier.” Garner said the meetings, where she and her ex-husband talked about child custody, disclosed their finances and divided their assets, were hard. “Divorce is not an easy thing. There’s still the notion of us versus them,” she said. But she felt their eventual separation agreement was straightforward and fair. She got what

she wanted. “For someone who was kind of stumbling along, the process laid out a way to support both of us.” Garner felt supported by both her and her husband’s lawyers, and felt like they listened to her.

Collaborative family law is not a new type of divorce law. Minnesota family lawyer Stu Webb introduced it in the U.S. more than 20 years ago and it has since spread to Canada, Europe and Australia. It is influencing law practice in a very real way. The B.C. Family Law Act, which deals with child and spousal support and dividing assets in the case of divorce, has legally recognized collaborative law as a legitimate alternative to court. Robert Klassen is a family lawyer who founded the Collaborative Family Law Group in Victoria in 2001. He says the 50 lawyers, divorce coaches and financial and child specialists who belong to Greater Victoria’s law group work hard to advocate it as an option. But he is hopeful the amendment of the Family Law Act will further spread the word. “Hopefully the government and other agencies will support the message.” Klassen will also be leading

Shelley Garner holds collaborative law documents from her divorce outside her workplace on Jutland Road. the University of Victoria’s first course in collaborative law in January. He believes that for couples

who want to legally end the marriage, the process makes divorce easier.

“The separation agreement gives them everything but the divorce. It’s a binding legal document that survives the divorce — when the divorce goes through, it’s undefended.” It’s often cheaper and takes less time than court, he said, because there are fewer legal hurdles. Garner said she paid less than $3,000, and that she only met eight times with the lawyers. Klassen said it’s not for everyone: he’s currently dealing with one case where there is a big power imbalance between the couple. “(We always have to look at whether) that is an appropriate case for a collaborative process — is there abuse or betrayal?” But collaborative practices also retain divorce coaches to help clients through their emotions and financial advisors to inform them of their legal rights. Garner said the listening skills she learned have helped her be more civil to her ex-husband. “I think it helped in terms of communication skills. … We could have easily become emotional and adversarial.” While she thinks it only works for couples that are willing to cooperate, she said it worked out for them very well. “That’s the whole point. It’s a win-win.” For more information about collaborative law, go to www.colalborativefamilylawgroup.com.
