New high schools for West Shore Province funds $100 million project for schools in Langford, Colwood Edward Hill News staff
Beloved but battered Belmont secondary is facing its final years after the B.C. Ministry of Education committed $100 million to build two new high schools on the West Shore. Education Minister George Abbott, after joking about tripping on duct tape in Belmont, announced the province will fund the Sooke School District’s plan to build a new Belmont at the Glen Lake elementary site in Langford and a new Colwood high school at Royal Bay. “I would acknowledge as I was tripping over your duct tape walking down the hallway, quite possibly your ‘bricks and mortar’ are getting a little bit tired,� Abbott said Monday at Belmont secondary. “I’m delighted to say that the Sooke School District will get not one, not one and a half, but two new high schools.� The announcement has set in motion two virtually simultaneous $50 million construction projects, one at the Glen Lake site and the other in Royal Bay, over the next three or four years. Kids in Grade 5 today will be the first cohort of youth in several generations to enter a new West Shore high school. To contribute to the project, SD 62 will sell the seven hectare Belmont property for an estimated $30 million, making the ministry’s net contribution $70 million. With the district’s plan authorized,

Sooke School District trustees Denise Riley and Dianna Seaton stand with Education Minister George Abbott, donning an SD 62 Santa Claus hat. Abbott announced the biggest Christmas gift the district has ever received — $100 million to build two new high schools on the West Shore. the education minister and SD 62 staff don’t expect to engage in a formal public process to sell the property. “This is the most amazing day I’ve had as superintendent. It’s probably the most amazing day I’ve had in my 30 years in the Sooke School District,� said SD 62 superintendent Jim Cambridge. “It is the future of our district. I couldn’t be more happy.� “I’m over the moon. Christmas came early,� added SD 62 board chair Wendy Hobbs. Over the past four years, trustees, district staff, students, West Shore mayors and MLAs have waged a relentless campaign of
nagging and cajoling the Education Ministry that the duct tape won’t hold the overflow of students, and that the Sooke District is growing — and fast. Abbott said the community’s overwhelming and consistent advocacy for the plan played a key role in finding capital funding for new West Shore high schools. He singled out Belmont Grade 12 student Ravi Parmar, who organized a student walkout last year, and told the minister about sorry, shabby state of his high school. “I can’t believe it’s all over. People have been working on this for 15 years,� Parmar said. “Everyone has worked hard to get to this
Video online This story has accompanying video images at www. goldstreamgazette.com. point today.� “Pushing has been team effort, with lots of support, lots of advocacy from everyone at the West Shore,� Abbott said. “(The schools) certainly are due and quite possibly overdue.� The two new schools will hold about 800 students each, and each will have a different focus. A new Belmont at the Glen Lake site
will use Goudy and Bear Mountain turf fields under an agreement with Langford. Colwood and the West Shore Chamber of Commerce are working to build an arts complex next to the new high school at Royal Bay. “From an economic development point of view this is huge,� said West Shore Chamber of Commerce CEO Dan Spinner. “There were people leaving the community because they were worried about the quality of the schools. This changes everything.� Juan de Fuca MLA John Horgan (NDP) was happy to give credit to the Liberal government for committing money to one of the few districts seeing student growth. “Now we can say goodbye to this site and look to an exciting future for our kids and our families,� Horgan said. “I’m grateful to George, I’m grateful to government recognizing this is the right thing to do. When something is right it’s right. Replacing this school has been right for some time, this government recognizes it, now we can step ahead.� New high schools will finally allow the district to reconfigure it’s grades — and avoid fields of portable classrooms — has Grade 6 is shifted from elementary to middle school and Grade 9 is shifted into high school. “This will free up elementary school space, which will be crucial in two or three years,� Cambridge said. The superintendent expects the design and building phase to last three or four years. “Certainly there is a good construction climate, but we won’t know (a timetable) until we have our architectural plans,� Cambridge said. “But we’re hoping kids in Grades 5 now will be going to new high schools.� editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Veterans seek help to spread the poppy Charla Huber News staff
After years of serving our country and communities, Royal Canadian Legion veterans are asking folks of the West Shore for a hand. This year the West Shore Poppy Fund committee has come up short with volunteers to help with the annual poppy drive. Last year the committee, working out of the Royal Canadian Legion, Prince Edward Branch in Langford, had about 225 volunteers. This year the number of has dropped to 125 people and the veterans need help covering the community. Volunteers don’t have to be veterans or part of a military family. Positions are open to anyone over 19 years old. “We can brief them and send them out with poppies to designated businesses,” said Gerry Lee, West Shore Poppy Fund committee chair. The volunteers may be sent to coffee shops, grocery stores or shopping malls. Each shift is two hours.
Charla Huber/News staff
Ervin Kobialko, with the West Shore Poppy Fund, is looking for volunteers to help sell poppies leading to Remembrance Day. The poppy fund helps veterans and non-profits across the region. “We have to have these stations manned otherwise we are not
going to get the pubic support,” said Ervin Kobialko, the West
Shore Poppy Fund committee treasurer. Last year the poppy drive raised $80,000. Kobialko served in the Royal Canadian Air Force as a warrant officer for 25 years. Lee was in the master warrant officer in the Canadian Army for 31 years. “We appreciate it when (people wear a poppy) to remember the veterans and to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice,” Lee said. The men said they like seeing children wear poppies and learn about what veterans have done for our country. Funds raised from the poppy drive helps out veterans and their families. Money is donated to various groups such as the Priory, Broadmead Care Society, Cockrell House, WestCom Medi-lend Society and the West Shore Adult Day Centre. “We try to help out as much as we can,” Lee said. To volunteer call the poppy fund committee at 250-478-9812 or the the Langford Legion Branch 91 at 250-478-1828. reporter@goldstreamgazette.com
Metchosin firefighters handy with a bra Charla Huber News staff
A woman’s undergarment, wire cutters and quick thinking saved a panicking horse in Metchosin last Wednesday. Metchosin firefighters helped rescue a horse that became entangled chicken wire, said Metchosin fire Chief Stephanie Dunlop. “The fencing was flimsy. The horse tried to jump over it and fell,” Dunlop said. “It got tangled up.” Fortunately the firefighters knew exactly what tool they’d need — a bra, which isn’t yet part of the firefighter’s rescue kit, but will be soon. A resident of the Neild Road home was able to supply one of hers. As the animal thrashed on the ground, the firefighters placed bra over its eyes to act as a blinder. “The horse calmed down

right away,” Dunlop said. Once the horse settled down, firefighters cut away fencing and the animal stood up. Firefighters are not animal specialists, but
the horse appeared to be fine, Dunlop said. Metchosin volunteer firefighters learned the bra technique only a few weeks ago after the department
hosted a large animal rescue course. The firefighters who attended the Neild Road incident learned the technique at an earlier course in Duncan in June.

Langford council faces few opponents Edward Hill News staff
Langford’s long-standing council reenforced its tight-knit unity at an all-candidates meeting last week, while only two new hopefuls sought to give voters an alternative. Admitted underdog and one-time Langford tree sitter Chris Johnson is challenging six-term mayor Stew Young. Recent Belmont secondary grad Grant McLachlan is trying to unseat one incumbent councillor. Councillors Denise Blackwell, Winnie Sifert, Lillian Szpak, Lanny Seaton, Matt Sahlstrom and Roger Wade are seeking another term guiding Langford. Young, Backwell and Sifert are seeking a seventh term, and have sat on council since incorporation in 1992. Johnson, who lives in the Port Renfrew area, said he wants to give voice to people in Langford concerned about the rate of residential growth and development. The City needs to examine if it’s too dependent on development as a means to generate jobs, he said. He also wants to make the public process at council more transparent and accessible to get more citizens involved. He admitted he was behind the curve in knowing all the issues facing Langford, but said he is willing to work hard and would move to Langford. “People want an opportunity to feel meaningfully engaged. The people I’ve met have not been as meaningfully engaged as they want to be,” Johnson told the polite and attentive audience at Gordon United
Church. The West Shore Chamber of Commerce sponsored the meeting, and former Kwantlen University president Skip Triplett. “It’s not what happens, but how it happens. People feel left out of the process,” Johnson continued. “I won’t deny that somebody needed to run (against the mayor) ... and express a different point of view and have a dissenting vote. I offer everything I can and I would work hard.” McLachlan, who is seeking a council seat, said with the pace of development, “many feel the environment is an afterthought.” He advocates for stronger labour policies, a new balance between ecology and development, getting youth involved in civic life, and reiterated the point that some citizens feel disconnected from council. “There has been many changes in Langford, some I agree with, some I disagree with,” he said. “I’m ready to be the energetic, progressive voice this city desperately needs.” Langford’s incumbent mayor and many of the councillors contrasted life in Langford in the 1970s and 80s — high unemployment, no services, derided as “dogpatch” — to life now, with City Centre Park, many new businesses, improved boulevards and relatively affordable housing. “When I was growing up, we had no sewers, no sidewalks, no streetlights,” Young said. “Now tax decreases are the norm in this area. Nobody has reined in taxes and done the improvements this council has done.” Known regionally as a pro-devel-
opment council, the incumbents reenforced that notion, and credited that relationship as key to building infrastructure and public amenities through the recession. “We are no longer a bedroom community, we are a city on it’s own,” said Sahlstrom, a four term councillor. “Growth is inevitable. People want to live and work in this community, and have no more one hour drives to Victoria.” “We love development here. Our little town has grown up nicely and we can thank developers for that,” Sifert said. Councillors also noted that the city’s economy needs diver-
sity, tacitly acknowledging that residential development won’t do the trick forever. “I’d like to see more government offices in this neck of the woods,” said Wade, a one-term councillor. “We’ve got to get people working here who live here and go downtown everyday. We’ve got to move jobs to this community.” “Our biggest challenge is diversification. People want to work and play where they live,” said Szpak, a three term councillor. “We are open for business and we want to bring in more high-tech jobs.” Councillors acknowledged growing traffic congestion in the
city. Seaton, a five-term councillor, said council is focused on developing a trail and bike path network to give people options. “We’ve started a plan for more bike lanes and trails to connect neighbourhoods so people don’t have to drive,” Seaton said. “But I don’t see getting rid of all the cars, but there is a great opportunity to get the E&N train going into town.” “We can build more roads or spend $1 billion on light rail that goes to Colwood Corners,” Young said. “Or we could get the (E&N) train going, and going the right way. That should be the priority.” editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Former councillor challenges Metchosin mayor Charla Huber News staff
John Ranns is seeking his sixth term as mayor of Metchosin, but he will have to face off against former councillor Ed Cooper. Cooper, 81, is running on a platform of keeping roads rural and civic fiscal responsibility.
He calls current road upgrades in Metchosin “super highways.” “Happy Valley and Kangaroo roads are being paved shoulder to shoulder,” said Cooper, a 51 year resident who was councillor from 2002-05. “Rural roads are windy, narrow roads with the odd pot hole here and there.”
Another key issue for him is how the District spends its money, particular the recent purchase of roads equipment. “I think it’s a terrible thing that is going on with the mayor and council,” Cooper said. “I am mainly running because of how our finances are being spent. We just purchased road equipment that we needed like we

Mill Hill broom removal effort hits 10 year mark
Give them power. Give them confidence Give them control.
Edward Hill News staff
In the game of broom removal, it’s two steps forward, one step back. On Thursday, 10 bundles equating to about three tonnes of Scotch broom, was heli-lifted off Mill Hill regional park in Langford, marking the 10th year of the eradication effort. Over the years, hundreds of tonnes of broom has been clipped, airlifted and eventually incinerated in the uphill battle to lessen the invasive plant's choke-hold on Garry oak meadows. “It takes a long time to see results,” said Marilyn Fuchs, environmental conservation specialist with Capital Regional District parks. “Invasive species removal is a long-term proposition. When you first take broom out, it doesn’t mean it’s gone. There’s always seeds around in the soil.” Fuchs said reclaiming the land is slow but steady. Native plants are repopulating the soil in broom-free areas, including a dozen listed as species at risk. Ultimately, the effort is about preserving the one of the few remaining Garry Oak ecosystems on Vancouver Island. “The significant thing about Mill Hill is the concentration of plants,” Fuchs said. “With 160 (plant) sites, it’s the highest concentration of rare plants in the province.” For the past three weeks, 14 CRD parks staff and a total of 130 volunteers cut away fields of broom from the west face of Mill Hill overlooking Langford. Removing broom is a painstaking process. Typically a staff member will feel their way down the plant stem, brush away debris and moss at the root, and clip the plant slightly below ground with as little soil disturbance as possible. “Working from the top of the hill, it was tiny little broom. It’s like cutting grass with scissors,” said project leader Jamie Hamel. “It’s painfully slow until you get down the hill. This
Opportunity for Public Comment On Commissioner’s Coastal Ferry Act Review
The British Columbia Ferry Commission, the independent regulator of BC Ferries, has been mandated by the provincial government to review the Coastal Ferry Act and to make recommendations on potential changes to the Act which would better enable the commissioner to balance the financial sustainability of the ferry operator and the interest of ferry users. The commissioner has been conducting public consultation meetings in coastal communities served by BC Ferries and is inviting additional input on a number of key issues described in a series of discussion papers. These issues will be considered by the commissioner during his review of the Act and deal with interests of ferry users, financial sustainability objectives, the balance between the two, price cap regulation and cross-subsidization. Visit www.bcferrycommission. com/reports-press/whats-new/coastal-ferryact-review/ for copies of these discussion papers.

Even the small stuff.” Alpine Disposal in Langford chips the broom and mixes it with wood waste for facilities which can burn biofuel, such as the Harmac pulp mill. Fuchs said Mill Hill broom removal will continue for at least a few more years. The federal Ministry of Environment has committed about $40,000 per year for the next two years, and the CRD usually chips in $20,000 plus staff time and equipment.
The funding will allow CRD biologists to continue the Mill Hill monitoring program, which documents the species and volume of native plants returning to broom-free areas. “We are showing positive results, we are seeing more rare native plants in relation to broom removal,” Fuchs said. “We’ve also seen when broom is removed, the area becomes flush with invasive grasses, then native plants move in. It shows how complex these ecosystems are.”
Vehicle security thwarts thieves A vehicle security system proved its worth after a truck theft in Metchosin last week. A Metchosin man called 9-1-1 at 4:30 a.m. on Oct. 24 to report his Chevrolet pickup was stolen from his house. He also called his “OnStar” security service, which remotely killed the truck engine on Sooke Road near the SookeMetchosin border. The two male thieves fled into a crawl space under a nearby house, said RCMP Cpl.

Kathy Rochlitz. With help from Victoria police dog services, West Shore RCMP officers quickly found where the men were hiding. They surrendered voluntarily. “The OnStar service resulted in a relatively quick resolution to the situation,” Rochlitz said. Police found stolen property — including various pieces of ID, mail, financial documents, vehicle keys, tools, electronics and gun ammunition — and suspected GHB and crystal
meth linked to the men. Derek Fast, 25, and Michael Desbiens, 26, face charges of theft under $5,000, theft over $5,000, possession of stolen property, possession of drugs and breach of court ordered conditions. Both Langford men are well known to police and have lengthy criminal records. They were set to appear in court at the Western Communities Courthouse on Tuesday. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

The hard work begins for SD 62 C
all it hitting the jackpot or an early Christmas gift. To thunderous applause of students and almost every politician on the West Shore, Education Minister George Abbott announced what many West Shore people have been waiting to hear for years: Belmont secondary will be replaced in a new location and a new high school will be built in Royal Bay. It’s estimated as a $100 million project, one that will keep many trades employed for years. The ministry will pocket some $30 million when the Sooke School District sells the large Belmont school property, and Langford’s commercial and residential core will have a chance to expand along Jackin Road. Replacing Belmont is long overdue. SD 62 maintenance staff needs to work hard to keep the building — a patchwork of several buildings going back to the 1950s — in safe and working order. The famous duct tape is a minor problem. The city block-long structure needs a seismic overhaul. To the a relief of SD 62 staff and trustees, the ministry in its wisdom opted to build two schools, as opposed to a single building, which was hinted at earlier this year. The long and often frustrating lobbying campaign by trustees, superintendents, students and local politicians played no small role in swaying the highest levels of government to release capital funding. As acknowledged by Education Minister George Abbott, in this case the squeaky wheel does indeed get the grease. Having SD 62’s capital plan authorized by the province is a huge win for the West Shore, and shows the B.C. Liberals will hand out money for good projects, regardless of the political stripes of area MLAs. Not everyone will be happy. People living near the old Glen Lake elementary have been concerns about a high school opening their neighbourhood. Selling the Belmont property, which includes its playing fields, is sure be a contentious. Unlike the heated debate over closing Glen Lake, the Ministry of Education has given SD 62 permission to sell Belmont without a public process. What do you think?

Activities such as stockmarket and currency gambling, for example. “Altadis was formed via a 1999 merger between Tabacalera, the former Spanish tobacco monopoly and SEITA, the former French tobacco monopoly,” Wikipedia reports. “The company was acquired by the British tobacco giant Imperial Tobacco in 2008.” Hopefully there won’t be any takeover of legalized marijuana by an Imperial Tobacco and Marijuana Corporation. Marijuana is a socially popular, low-hazard, sometimes medically helpful drug that lacks the extreme dangers of alcohol.

A fast look at the evidence suggests that the answer to all three questions is “no.” The aroma of pot wafts up from millions of homes and party gatherings.

The new schools will go a long way to encourage families to come and stay on the West Shore — we were actually losing families and having trouble attracting others to the West Shore over this issue, making this a huge economic development opportunity. The decision therefore, also fits nicely into the premier’s families first and jobs plan. Not only for the construction and teaching jobs implied but for the contribution to the long term continued growth of the West Shore, including all our new small business jobs.

LETTERS Tax, spending numbers skewed Re: View Royal taxes hiked too much, Letters, Oct. 28, 2011. I write in response to Jim Powell’s inflammatory and inaccurate letter regarding View Royal tax hikes. Powell quotes a study done by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business that shows View Royal spending growing at 4.41 times the rate of population growth and inflation. The problem with these “statistics” is that the numbers are terribly skewed and do not portray an even remotely accurate picture. The CFIB report covers the period from 2000-2008. During this time of course the Great Canadian Casino opened and the Town joined the Greater Victoria Public Library along with the West Shore Parks and Recreation Society. This equated to roughly $800,000 in new expenses (funded from the casino) and on top of this the Town started to send 60 per cent of the casino revenue to Langford (another $3 million) as part of the revenue sharing agreement. All of these expenses are factored into the CFIB’s wild claims of increased spending, but the reality is that all this had no impact on the tax roll and were actually offset by significant increases in revenue. The president of the Union Of British Columbia Municipalities issued an official response to provincewide CFIB report, part of which states: “What municipalities take exception to are reviews that ignore or misrepresent the fiscal and service realities facing local governments, and that unfairly characterize local governments as being lessthan-responsible financial managers.” View Royal’s taxes did increase by five per cent this year and this amounted to
a $57 increase for an “average” home. The View Royal residential tax rate continues to be the fourth lowest out of the 13 Capital Region municipalities. David Screech View Royal councillor
Colwood citizens need to get out the vote It’s election time in Colwood again. For those of you who make up the 73 per cent of eligible voters who did not vote in 2008, I say, “you can’t afford not to vote” this time. You need to become engaged with your community and the issues. We desperately need new, positive, respectful leadership from all our candidates in these tough economic times. I challenge you to educate yourself about the candidates running this year especially after the deliberate confusion caused by the candidates who chose to have another Colwood all-candidates meeting on the same night and at the same time as the one at the Church of the Advent. We only need six of the 10 candidates running for city council, but you don’t have to vote for six, vote strategically for the one or two you feel strongly for. Talk with your friends and neighbours and make an informed decision. There are so many issues that we feel powerless to change, so take your one opportunity to make a difference and vote Nov. 19. Let’s take Colwood into the future with dedicated councillors who will show up at meetings. Jacqui Levson Colwood

together in Colwood? Currently, there are two all-candidates meetings set for the same evening — Nov. 2. How can they be all-candidates meetings when candidates for mayor and council are split between two locations? The Church of the Advent has always hosted the all-candidates meetings supported by the West Shore Chamber of Commerce. This Church announced the meeting date to their congregation on Oct. 2. Meanwhile, on Oct. 13 a splinter group (Concerned Citizen’s Coalition) announced their all-candidates meeting for Nov. 2 at the Colwood Pentecostal Church. Now they are like two children arguing over who owns the ball as they both claim to be the only legitimate venue. Letters continued on Page A12

Vision Matters Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.
Dr. Brent Morrison, Dr. Sara Buckley, Dr. Ann-Marie Stewart, and Dr. Christopher Snow
Why the questions Doc?
Occasionally a patient is uncomfortable when I ask personal questions. A column like this gives me a chance to explain the reason for unusual questions that an optometrist may ask you. Every optometrist wants to know the reason for your visit. This is known as the “chief complaint.” However, to accurately determine if you are at risk of any eye diseases, a full “case history” has to be taken. General health questions about you and your blood relations are important. Many illnesses can affect vision. You’d be wise to bring a list of any medications you take. Many medications have potential visual side effects. Optometrists always ask about your occupation and hobbies to determine how you use your eyes. Then we can make suggestions as to which type of glasses and/or lenses would provide you with the best visual performance at work and play.

As taxpayers, we want to attend all-candidate meetings, not candidate rallies. There are many new candidates for political office in Colwood. The decision of who to vote for just got a little easier. Pick the slate of candidates that will be at your meeting of choice. Me, I’m going to the Church of the Advent Meeting sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce as that is where the majority of candidates will be tonight. John Townson Colwood
Colwood taxing sewer debt too high All Colwood properties that pay sewer tax should be aware that the City is charging five per cent interest on the sewer debt. The real cost to the City is only 1.7 per cent. That means that you are paying an extra 3.7 per cent. So what, you might ask? Well as an example, the Lagoon properties paid $725 last year
(principle and interest). The extra 3.7 per cent meant that an extra $343 was paid. The actual principle and interest payment (on $2.9 million over 25 years) should have been $382. This extra interest amount collected in not shown in any City account. You will never know where it has gone. Arnold Rossander Colwood
Mixed messages for earthquakes In anticipation of the “big one” supposedly due to hit within the next 50 years, who are we to believe? Last I heard, standing in a door frame was debunked, that having been a longstanding protection recommendation. Nowadays, an opinion gap persists concerning what should be done if you are caught in an earthquake. One side tells us to get outside. The other, recently: drop, cover, hold on. Continued on Page A13

A picture that appeared in a local paper showed folk inside a building and under a table with fold-up legs. Appeared to me to be a cover I’d not consider if I had a choice. Don Wilkes Langford
Financial system rigged to the rich Re: Nothing wrong with rewarding hard work, Letters, Oct. 26, 2011. What’s wrong with a system that rewards the hard worker? There’s nothing wrong about a system that allows, in true Horatio Alger Jr. fashion, some to climb to the pinnacle of financial success. But there is something wrong with a system that, as they climb that ladder, their burden of maintaining the common good is shifted to those hanging onto the last rung by their very fingertips. In short, a system that is rigged. There’s a cherished American myth that’s made its way to Canada — the notion that the fabulously wealthy, the one percenters, are the job creators and therefore they deserve special treatment. The one percenters don’t create jobs. In fact, no person creates jobs. No one. It is demand for goods that is the catalyst for job creation. And for there to be demand, first there must be a mass of humanity with enough money in its pockets to buy more than basic necessities. For this demand to be met, the entrepreneurs then enter the picture to hire the workers to produce, transport and sell the goods. So the “one percenters,” to the degree that this elite is involved in the process at all, are at the end of the continuum, not at the beginning. But in our present economy, some entity has to prime the pump; some entity has to put those excess dollars in people’s pockets so they can create a
demand that can be met by the entrepreneurs and thereby produce the taxes to pay for those excess dollars. That entity is the government. No surprise there. That’s why it exists. To the writer’s parting question “If we’re going to change the system, what are we going to change to?” The obvious answer is going to a system that is not calibrated to benefit only the rich, the powerful, the privileged. To a system in which all may share to an equitable degree in the fruits of a just and compassionate society. And one in which all may share to an equitable extent in support of that society. Dennis Noble Colwood
Occupy about recognizing hard work Re: Nothing wrong with rewarding hard work, Letters, Oct. 26, 2011. That is what this protest is all about — people who work hard fixing our roads, delivering our mail, working for Air Canada, and don’t forget wage earners in the service industry, who also help keep this country running. When I started out I was able to buy my first home shortly after reaching 30. That cost me $4,500. But as I understand it, today’s young couples face prices such as a half million dollars, and evidently both must work, even while bringing up children. How are we going to change the system? Our politicians need to find some balance between socialism and capitalism. Good luck with that. Andy Mulcahy Victoria
Working hard not getting workers ahead Re: Nothing wrong with rewarding hard work, Letters, Oct. 26, 2011. Obviously the writer doesn’t get it. His examples relate to exactly why people
One month
are protesting. For every Jimmy Pattison success story, there are millions who work, and have worked, far harder and are struggling or poor. The increasing cost of making ends meet and the average person’s overwhelming housing debt load and increasing taxes makes it extremely difficult just to get by. Governments have contributed to the present situation by using tax dollars for business bailouts, dramatically reducing taxes on corporations and the rich, eroding consumer protections through the elimination of public utility and monopoly laws, then permitting deregulation and amalgamation. Free trade agreements have allowed wholesale outsourcing of jobs. Government decisions must be based on the health and well being of the Canadian community. Anthony Mears Oak Bay

From Batman to Iron Man
Ryan Flaherty News staff
By day, he studies new rehabilitation methods for stroke and spinal cord injury patients. By night, he uses comic book superheroes to explore the outer limits of biological and technological development. It’s not quite as dramatic a contrast as those of the characters he uses for inspiration, but Paul Zehr is living his own version of a double life, nonetheless. A professor of neuroscience and kinesiology at the University of Victoria, Zehr is carving out a name for himself as an author of what he calls “speculative non-fiction.” His second book, Inventing Iron Man: The Possibility of a
Human Machine, was published this year by Johns Hopkins University Press. In it, Zehr examines whether it would be possible to create an armoured suit such as the one worn by the titular superhero, and the consequences of creating one. “In our brains, ever since we were developing in utero, this mapping has been occurring where sensory information from the skin of your body is helping to create this map of sensations in your brain that represents your body,” he explained. “If you have a map that’s full already, and you jam an armoured suit on top of it, where does it go?” To try to answer that question, Zehr looked at three main elements of the Iron Man suit: the amplification of strength it provides, its
ability to fly and the physical protection it offers. But beyond discussing the plausibility of such a suit, and the technology that would be necessary to build one, Inventing Iron Man goes deeper, looking at the physical and mental effects it could have on the wearer. “If you’re in this suit that amplifies your abilities, it means you’re not actually using your body to move your body around,” Zehr said. “You wind up having deconditioning and reduced output, and reduced strength and reduced bone mineralization.” And what about the mind? “We’re thinking of it from the perspective of, ‘we’re connected to the device, so we can control it and do stuff.’ But the device
is also connected to us, and that has some implications.” Inventing Iron Man is Zehr’s second book. His first, Beyond Batman, looked at whether a person could realistically whip themselves into superhero shape à la Dark Knight. Zehr said the pop culture icons are a perfect way to explore scientific concepts in an accessible way. “When you try and talk about science with the general public, I like to choose things that everyone’s already familiar with,” he said. “If I say Iron Man to you, you have a mental image, we have the same common image and we can talk about the science.” Not only that, writing has helped Zehr in his research at UVic. “As a scientist, you have to reduce down, so you can answer questions yes or no. But we don’t often zoom it back out and say ‘What does that mean? How does it affect these things? What does it relate to this?’ “You have to do that to write a book.” Whether a real-life Iron Man suit is indeed possible — Zehr thinks that it’s likely that there are some governments already working on some version — the author hopes
Ryan Flaherty/News staff
Paul Zehr’s new book, Inventing Iron Man, explores the physical plausibility of building a real-life armoured suit like the one in the Iron Man comics and films. the book opens people’s minds to some new concepts. “I think we ought to be thinking about some of these things before we get to that point (that a suit is made). A little advanced thought would be helpful, I think.” It’s not quite a superpower, at least not in the comic book sense, but in a way, Zehr has found a way to look into the future.

Breaking down musical borders Innovative Vancouver Island-based trio records their first compilation CD Arnold Lim News staff
One new album, two concerts and three award-winning musicians. The debut compilation, Three Worlds, features the Latin-influenced guitar of Brad Prevedoros, the Asian-inspired, bluesy percussion of Niel Golden and the celtic folk stylings of Greg Joy. It is integrated with such non-traditional instruments as the hammered dulcimer and hang (a flying-saucer shaped metal percussion) and boasts a sound that is truly the trio’s own. “Even though we come from diverse places, it really works well whenever we perform (together),” Golden said. “We have an ease of getting along … we understand each other musically and otherwise. We are breaking down borders as we go. It is part of the beauty of the new age.” The unique musical palette of the Vancouver Island trio includes more than 30 albums of musical experience between

Taking an idea and running with it was the evolution of the Canadian College of Performing Arts’ upcoming event and fundraiser. This Friday’s (Nov. 4) “Lucille Ball,” a tribute to the late comedienne and madcap star of stage and TV, began with an idea to auction off an item of memorabilia. “Richard Lucas, a talent agent in Vancouver who ended up teaching on our faculty, has an authentic Lucille Ball gown and he wanted it to go to charity,” said college director Ron Schuster. After conversations around how to best do that, the idea came up of hosting an all-Lucy event in Victoria. “We’ve got 24 lovely Lucies that will be floating around – all of our students will be dressed as Lucy or (fellow I Love Lucy characters) Fred

College students get into act for “Lucille Ball” or Ricky Ricardo or Ethel,” Schuster said. Among the festivities will be a recreation of the physical comedy classic scene featuring Lucy and Ethel working on a chocolate assembly line that goes crazy. A memorabilia booth will be set up for fans looking for Lucy items, and Lucas will be on hand sharing stories about times on set with Ball over the years. Among the silent auction and raffle items up for grabs are a Warhol-style portrait of Lucy by local artist Christopher Lucas, and a two-week stay in Hawaii. The dress auction proceeds will be split between the college and the Vancouver Performing Arts Lodge. Tickets for the fundraiser, $115 each, are available at the college, 1701 Elgin Rd. in Oak Bay from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday. editor@oakbaynews.com

Victoria Libyans celebrate homeland’s liberation Erin McCracken News staff
When Sami Muntaser was awoken by his telephone ringing in the wee morning hours last Thursday, he knew there was news from his Libyan homeland. Family members told him Moammar Gadhafi, Libya’s dictator for 42 years, had been captured and killed. Stunned by the news, Muntaser and his wife were overcome by “a feeling of euphoria.” “(Gadhafi) was famous for terrorism,” said the Victoria resident, who has been living in Canada for 29 years. “He was another Hitler in the making.” During a visit to Libya in 1989, Muntaser said he was accused of being a communist and imprisoned for four days, during which a gun was pointed at his head and the trigger pulled in a terrorizing game of Russian roulette. “It felt like 40 years,” he said of the experience. When Gadhafi forces began attacking civilians, the United Nations authorized a no-fly zone over the country in March. Muntaser and many of the 25 Libyans living in Greater Victoria went to work, raising money and sending over medical supplies. Muntaser and his friend, Ali Ezletni of Gordon Head, watched with pride as Canada did its part, sending fighter jets and two CFB Esquimalt warships to their homeland. HMCS Vancouver left for the Mediterranean Sea on July 10, taking over for the East Coast’s HMCS Charlottetown. Vancouver has been patrolling the Libyan coast with its NATO allies, enforcing an arms embargo in the region. Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Sunday that NATO has decided to end its mission at the

Nathalie Garcia, Esquimalt-based navy spokesperson. “I was hoping Canada would be leading (international military efforts). We are very proud,” said Ezletni, who has been in Canada since 1987. “The beauty of this is that the world stood with us (the Libyan people). I can’t thank them enough.”

1,200 attend celebration of life for Alex Campbell Erin Cardone
Welcome new and existing clients!

News staff
As the dramatic voice of Ken Lavigne flooded the hall, an emotional Jo Campbell stood and embraced her children and grandchildren. Lavigne sang Time to Say Goodbye to conclude a celebration of the life of Thrifty Foods co-founder Alex Campbell Sr. on Sunday afternoon, evoking tears from not only Campbell’s family, including his wife, Jo, but a vast number of the 1,200-plus people who attended. The crowd mourned a man described as an intelligent entrepreneur, an avid boater and a father with a sense of humour by speakers at the event — friends and business associates who got to know Campbell over many years. Campbell died Oct. 11. He was 70. CTV Vancouver Island news anchor Hudson Mack hosted the celebration. Lavigne’s four songs drew many tears from the audience, especially Danny Boy, which was one of Campbell’s favourites. Local piper James Troy’s music brought out tissues as well. Held at the Victoria Conference Centre, the celebration was decorated by large arrangements of white orchids, irises and roses. Before the hall filled for the 1 p.m. event, people

The celebration was just as Campbell would have wanted it, Mack said, with laughs along the way. Friends remembered failed fishing feats with Campbell, who was nicknamed “the smile in the aisle” for his presence at his Thrifty Foods stores. Mack read from his speech that Campbell’s three children were “proud of his honesty, integrity and confidence.” Campbell wasn’t one to lose
his cool in business or at home, he didn’t make rash decisions and was unfailingly loyal. Having lost his own father at a young age, Mack shared a personal note: “Death can end a life, but it can never extinguish love or end a relationship.” The Campbell family left the celebration after dozens of hugs from friends in the room, all of whom had come to pay respects to a generous philanthropist and successful business owner who touched countless lives on the Island. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

New dispute resolution board eyed for stratas Roszan Holmen News staff
Nearing three years since a pipe burst above their condo unit, the Prescotts have finally resolved the problem with their strata council. Since filing a claim through the Provincial Small Claims Court in June 2010, the elderly Victoria couple won $8,000 in a settlement reached in August. “It felt like winning the lottery,” says daughter Deborah Groen-
heyde, who lives in Hawaii, but has travelled to Victoria to act on her parents’ behalf. The disagreement boils down to the quality of repairs to the damage in the Prescotts’ unit at 1715 Richmond Rd. The protracted and bitter experience cost $1,500 in legal fees and has left Groenheyde exasperated at the regulations governing strata councils in B.C. “The whole strata thing is simply out of control,” she said in an email to the News.
The province seems to be listening. In response to growing frustration by strata owners suffering unresolved conflict with their neighbours, the B.C. government has proposed a new approach to dispute resolution, which is open to public feedback until Oct. 31. The idea is to create a low-cost tribunal, which doesn’t require people to hire a lawyer. Deryk Norton, director of the Vancouver Island Strata Owners Association calls it a small,

but positive step. He’s optimistic the proposed tribunal will be an improvement over current options. Right now, the avenues open to strata owners in dispute are to take the matter to court, which is costly, or arbitration, which is “vague and unpredictable,” Norton said. The government’s online discussion paper and survey on the issue, however, leaves Norton with several questions. “The whole thing is silent on the accountability of condo developers and strata managing companies,” he said. “Their actions could be at the heart of the dispute.” A management company could provide self-serving advice to a strata council that runs contrary to the Act, Norton said. “I run into that a lot, which raises questions about the ethics and the competence of the strata manager.” Similarly, he said, condo devel-
opers sometimes fail to hand over important documents, leaving the strata council with inadequate information about the building. Strata councils can then run into problems when it’s time to do maintenance. The Ministry of Housing, however, disputes the gap in the tribunal’s jurisdiction. “Owner-developers could be subject to the proposed tribunal’s jurisdiction,” said a ministry spokesperson in an email. Some complex issues, however, “are best heard by the courts. Some of these involve owner-developers of phased strata plans, and we are looking for input through this consultation on whether that is appropriate.” Strata managers, on the other hand, are regulated by the Real Estate Services Act and therefore not covered by the Strata Property Act. There are more than half a million strata owners in B.C.
Region in for stormy winter Greater Victoria will be hit hard this winter as the La Nina phenomenon makes its return, says a prominent U.S. based weather forecasting company Accuweather. BC Hydro, whose crews and infrastructure would bear the brunt of a brutal cold snap, isn’t planning any changes to its usual winter preparations.
Thanks to smart meters, it will be easier for BC Hydro to pinpoint outage locations, even when customers are asleep and don’t know the power has gone out, said spokesperson Ted Olynyk. The information will make it easier for Hydro to dispatch repair crews to the most critical sites serving the most people, he said.

‘Souper bowls’ help youth at risk News staff
A rainbow of bowls covers a large table in the art room at Arbutus middle school. Handcrafted by grades 7 and 8 students during the classes’ pottery units, the 63 earthenware dishes have been fired and glazed, and are ready to take home. But these bowls aren’t going home with the young potters. Instead, all the students are donating their art to the Souper Bowls of Hope fundraiser, which happens Nov. 8 at the Fairmont Empress downtown Victoria. “I think it’s a really neat way to pull community into the classroom,” said art teacher Rachel Liddell. “They learn the procedures and proper steps (of making pottery), but they also contribute to a nice community cause. They don’t have to donate their bowls, but once I explain what they’re helping, they all want to take part.” Souper Bowls of Hope, now in its 14th year, is a lunchtime fundraiser for the Victoria Youth Empowerment Society. Hungry supporters (or pottery enthusiasts) are invited to the Empress for a soup lunch catered by hotel staff and Patisserie Daniel. After the meal, diners take home a bowl made by a local student or the South Vancouver Island Potters Guild. “(Student) involvement means so much because, in the future, they will realize why it is important to give back to your community, wherever they are in the world,” said Souper Bowls organizing committee member Helen Hughes. All the money raised goes to

Region’s economy slows to a simmer Global uncertainty hits Greater Victoria, says chamber Rudy Haugeneder News Staff
Greater Victoria’s economic growth rate has slumped by as much as one half of what it was prior to the global recession that has crippled cities in other industrial countries, according to the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce. Economic growth has shrunk to “a modest two to three per cent” compared to the pre-recession growth rate in Greater Victoria of about four per cent, said Bruce Carter, chamber CEO. But that’s still large growth compared to many American cities where shopping centres are devoid of customers and stores, and unemployment is nine per cent or higher, he said. He considers the Capital Region’s six-per-cent jobless rate almost full employment, with many employers
complaining they can’t find qualified and experienced workers to fill vacancies. Carter said employers have told him Greater Victoria’s high housing prices make it difficult to recruit workers from outside the region. Global economic uncertainty has hammered consumer confidence here and elsewhere, he said, meaning people are spending less and are more careful — making it “a little tougher on the retail side.” That means “margins are tight” and “everybody is sharpening their pencils” to reduce costs to compensate for lower profits, Carter added. The tightening economy has affected chamber membership, which Carter said has shrunk slightly and now sits at about 1,500 members out of about 8,000 businesses that serve the region. However, the region’s strong housing sector and continuous growth in the ever-expanding technology sector, combined with the good summer results for the local tourist accommodation industry, show Greater Victoria is in pretty good shape, Carter said.

Sr. Girls Volleyball: The senior girls grabbed the No. 1 seed for the upcoming AAAA Lower Island Championships, finishing with an impressive overall record of 24-4. Jr. Girls Volleyball: The junior girls continue their winning form in league play, defeating PCS and Reynolds 2-0 to improve to 16-0. The team is going to city championships on Nov. 4-5 in Victoria. Senior Boys Volleyball: Senior boys finished fourth of six teams, at Lambrick Park. Cross country: The cross country team finished its season at Island championships at Beaver Lake. Jericho O’Connell placed 15th out of 200 runners in a time of 22:21. This qualifies Jericho for the BC Championships in Kelowna on Nov. 5. Special mention also goes out to Jeff Allan, who was the top junior boys runner and Jill Lambeth who was the top senior girls athlete. Football: The junior varsit team lost to the defending AAA champion Vancouver College. The team played its heart out but depth at some key positions didn’t allow it to compete in the end. The varsity team played Gulf Islands and defeated them 37-0 with everyone getting substantial minutes in the game. The varsity team has a bye this week as the Mark Isfeld team has folded and are unable to field a team. Varsity is looking forward to the first round of playoffs where it will play either Timberline or EMCS. —Mike Toakley, Belmont athletic coach.

When track and field star Katelyn Hayward of Mount Douglas secondary put her own ambitions aside to finish the four-kilometre Island cross country championship at Beaver Lake Park with a twisted ankle last Wednesday, it meant the end of her cross country season, but a provincial berth for her team. Nanaimo District secondary won the Island girls team trophy at Beaver Lake and will head to provincials in Kelowna on Saturday (Nov. 5). The top four boys and girls teams each qualify seven runners to the B.C.’s, with Mt. Doug and Oak Bay the only Island schools sending both. Dover Bay (first), Oak Bay (second), Claremont (third) and Mt. Doug (fourth) will represent the boys. Nanaimo (first), Oak Bay (second), Mt.

Doug (third) and Spectrum (fourth) will represent the girls. Hayward and Mt. Doug teammate Caleigh Bachop were favoured to compete for the top spot. Bachop finished fourth, Hayward seventh. The effort marks the latest achievement in Mt. Doug’s attempt to restore the glory it enjoyed as a cross country powerhouse under legendary coach Stan Gill in the 60s, 70s and 80s.
“If (Hayward) stops, our girls team doesn’t go to B.C.’s.” – Bernie Kidd
“If (Hayward) stops, our girls team doesn’t go to the B.C. championships,” said teacher sponsor and coach Bernie Kidd. “It was extremely courageous of her. She ran for the team.” Hayward, a Grade 12 student, is Canada’s top steeplechaser for her age and the standing B.C. high school champion in the 3,000-metre, as well as the record holder in the 1,500m. She’s currently being courted by uni-
versities and had every reason to pull out of the race. Because of the injury Hayward won’t be attending provincials. “It’s Mt. Doug’s best Island result in two decades,” he added. Kidd credited coaches Steve Murenbeeld and Al Niezen for preparing Mt. Doug’s best cross country team since Gill stepped down in the 1990s. “We’re all excited about the prospects at provincials and looking forward to getting another crop of strong runners from Arbutus middle school next year,” Kidd said.
Duo tops on Island Powerful Claremont duo Lehm Maguire and Connor Foreman finished the 6.7-km boys race one second apart in first and second, respectively, leading the Claremont boys to provincials. Claremont took fourth overall, displacing the Reynolds boys team which ended up in fifth despite managing three top-20 finishes: Seamus Maguire (11), Erik Evans (18) and Drew Peacock (19). sports@vicnews.com

NDP walks fine line on B.C. seats Tom Fletcher Black Press
Federal NDP leadership candidate Brian Topp picked up more supporters on a visit to the B.C. legislature Thursday, and walked into a controversy over the allocation of six new MP seats for B.C. The federal government revealed its bill to add 30 House of Commons seats Thursday, including six each for B.C. and Alberta, 15 for Ontario and three for Quebec. Victoria-Beacon Hill MLA Carole

James, on hand to endorse Topp's leadership bid, said based on population, B.C. should have nine more seats. Topp is running to lead a federal party now dominated by Quebec MPs, and he avoided taking a position. "The good news in the announcement today, if there's any of it, is that we're making progress," Topp said. "Western Canada and Ontario should get more seats. And it's the federal party's job to look at the details and listen to the voices at speak up across the country, and to come to a judgment about what they think about the proposal." B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix issued a statement calling the seat decision unfair, saying it unfairly favours Alberta and Quebec at the expense of B.C. He said he will write to Prime Minister Stephen Harper asking that B.C. get more seats. B.C. Liberal MLA John Les accused Topp of supporting an increase that would keep the ratio of seats the same in Quebec and other provinces, as western provinces have grown faster. Montreal MP Thomas Mulcair also brought his leadership candidacy to B.C. this week, reflecting the province's importance as the home of onethird of party members. editor@goldstreamgazette.com
