BC Ambulance Service plans to relocate its Vancouver Island dispatch centre and Colwood ambulance station to an earthquake-ready building on Leigh Road, near the Spencer interchange. The two-storey station will house four ambulance bays and the dispatch service on City-owned land across from Spencer’s Pond. The project has a June 2013 deadline and the facility would employ about 60 people. “The ambulance service will have great access to the highway and the core area,” said Langford fire Chief Bob Beckett. “From my perspective in emergency services, Langford will benefit greatly from having this resource in our community. We are going to have a modern, state of the art ambulance station.” The ambulance service plans to move its Island communications centre from the Vancouver Island Technology Park in Saanich to Langford by July 2013, one of three such centres in the province. At the same time, the three-bay ambulance station on Jacklin Road would shut down. The ambulance service is leasing the building from Langford for 20 years, and will pay about $500,000 per year in operating costs and rent, according to lease documents. Although the City owns the land, Keycorp Consulting in Langford is financing and constructing the building. Mayor Stew Young said Langford is acting as a “flow through” between the development company and BC Ambulance.

Colin Harris dips his toe into the Esquimalt Lagoon Tuesday afternoon, completing a 7,600 kilometre run that started nine months ago in St. John’s, N.L. Harris ran the width of Canada to encourage kids to stay active and to explore the outside, under the Take Me Outside challenge.

Not long after dipping his toe into the Esquimalt Lagoon, Colin Harris was racing a rambunctious gang of Sangster elementary kids up the hill, toward Hatley Castle. Despite running 7,600 kilometers over the past year, Harris didn’t hesitate to tack on a few more strides. The 36-year-old ultra-ultra marathoner from Ontario stepped off the ferry at Swartz Bay Tuesday morning and ran to Royal Roads University, the last long distance he’ll complete for a while. Harris launched his Canadian odyssey in the spirit of Terry Fox. The lanky redhead dipped his toe in the Atlantic Ocean off St. John’s, N.L., on Jan. 17 and ran west, one marathon at a time. “When I started nine months ago, it was overwhelming. You can’t think about the Pacific Ocean, you just had to take one day at a time,” he said. “It’s been a long nine months. I’m happy I’ve made it.” His mission was to spread the idea of encouraging youth to put down their cell phones and get into the great outdoors. Under the banner of the Take Me Outside challenge, he hit 75 schools and spoke to some 20,000 kids along the way. “It’s about all the time students spend in front of screens, playing video games, watching TV and surfing the net,” he said, citing a statistic that estimates teens spend 53 hours per week in front of screens.

John Stubbs Memorial kindergarten kids paid rapt attention to the storytelling guest during a mid-morning reading session. That it was Education Minister George Abbott probably didn’t matter — Curious George stories are always enticing. With district and school officials in tow, Abbott toured the newest SD 62 school last week, which had a four classroom addition built over the summer to make way for full day kindergarten. The veteran minister also announced the school’s Great Shakeout earthquake exercise over the PA system. “The highlight of my day is reading Curious George Makes Pancakes. It’s been a lot of fun,” Abbott said. John Stubbs school is indicative of student growth that will move through the district in upcoming years and decades. SD 62 added at least 200 new kindergarten students this year and John Stubbs itself has 108 kindergarten kids in six classrooms. Sooke district officials have lobbied for two new West Shore high schools directly with Abbott and his predecessors many times over the years. Abbott acknowledged the rapid residential growth on the West Shore and the need for new schools. Along with Surrey and Langley, SD 62 is one of the few districts in B.C. seeing a net growth of students. “Sooke is one of a handful of school districts that is seeing strong growth, and will continue, especially in the (West Shore) area,” Abbott said. “The board has made a strong case for additional capital investment. They’ve made an excellent case, no doubt.” The long-standing SD 62 business plan that calls for a new high school at Glen Lake elementary and one at Royal Bay in Colwood. The district would help underwrite the project by selling

Education Minister George Abbott reads Curious George to kindergarten kids at John Stubbs Memorial school in Colwood during a tour of the recently expanded building. the current Belmont property, valued at $25 to $30 million. The ministry bought 15.6 acres in Royal Bay for $5 million in 2006. Last year it funded five acres of additional land at Glen Lake for $4.3 million. Abbott said it’s a matter of waiting for the provincial treasury board to lay out priorities for capital spending. “The prudent purchase of property has been made,” he said. “It’s a matter of working patiently with the process.”

Community support for new schools, arts centre The West Shore Chamber of Commerce has helped gauge the level of community interest for two new schools with survey conducted over the past year. The survey also queried about support for a future arts centre in Royal Bay, next to the proposed high school. People hundreds of logged comments through an online questionnaire, and the chamber conducted surveys with youth and community stakeholders. The vast majority of respondents supported both projects, although it can’t be considered a valid statistical poll. “The art centre proposal

has been around for years. We wanted to see if it had legs, if the community supported it,” said SD 62 superintendent Jim Cambridge. “And we decided to reenforce community support for two high schools. It’s great to see that in the survey results.” About 94 per cent of respondents supported the high schools plan, and 96 supported building an arts centre. Virtually all supported replacing aging Belmont secondary, although a few questioned why it couldn’t be built on the fields behind the existing high school. A key part of the SD 62 plan is selling Belmont’s property to help fund new schools. Cambridge expects the provincial treasury board to make funding announcements in November or December. Earlier this year the Ministry of Education suggested it might fund one school, but not two. The superintendent doubts that would work. “The plan is for two schools, but it could be done in stages, with a six month lead on one,” he said. “The project would need to be concurrent. We’d like them to open within a year of each other.” The proposed arts centre — coined the Emily Carr Performing Arts Centre — has the

backing of about 30 arts organizations in Greater Victoria, a group chaired by chamber CEO Dan Spinner. The Canadian Centre for the Performing Arts and the Sooke Philharmonic, among others, are looking for space to grow, he said. The concept involves building a performing and visual arts centre in concert with the new Colwood high school. The space would be shared between students and arts groups. “Arts centres are a crucial part of a healthy community. It’s a great economic development concept,” Spinner said. “There was substantive, positive support for this in ways that surprised us.” The next step for the arts centre is a feasibility study, which will outline the approximate theatre size, construction budget, estimated user demand and other details. That study would backstop a capital fundraising campaign. “A lot depends on the economy and how buoyant people are feeling. But it’s more a matter of when than if,” Spinner said. “This might take five to 10 years, but it will take a few years to build a high school. The West Shore has a good track record of doing what it needs to do.”

Pirate ship invades RCMP detachment This Halloween, West Shore RCMP are welcoming children with “Ahoy, Matey!” West Shore RCMP officers are trading in their uniforms to become pirates on Monday. The detachment lobby will be transformed into a pirate ship from 2 to 8 p.m. Children of all ages are invited to visit and trick-or-treat for candy — and walk the plank. “We are opening up for trick-ortreating this year,” said Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz. “This is the first time we are doing this. It’s to bring the community together.” Some officers will be pirates for the day, but others will remain fully uniformed officers. West Shore fire halls host Halloween events and the RCMP wanted to do something similar. The West Shore RCMP detachment is at 698 Atkins Ave. For more information call 250-474-2264.

Young actress leads Narnia Charla Huber News staff

Need to get out of Dodge? Bring the family and take a trip to Narnia. Four Seasons Musical Theatre is putting on its rendition of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe this weekend. Metchosin’s seven-year-old Lily Cave has landed one of the leading roles in the play, the character of Lucy. Terry Rowsell, the show’s director and company’s president explained that normally an 11 year old would be cast to play Lucy, as most younger kids couldn’t pull off the demanding role. “The audience will be blown away,” Rowsell said. Precocious Cave is a triple threat in this roll as an actor, singer and dancer. “This is pretty exciting for me,” she said. As for remembering her lines, Cave has a special technique — practising with her toys. “I have miniature dolls and a doll house and I practise that way,” Cave said. A young veteran of the stage, Cave has been in several performance with Four Seasons. “She has played little supporting roles,” Rowsell said. In the story, Lucy and her sibling are sent to live with their uncle during the Second World

Metchosin’s Lily Cave, 7, has landed the leading role in Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe at Isabelle Reader Theatre. War due to a bomb scare. At the uncle’s house Lucy discovers a magic wardrobe that takes her and her siblings to the land of Narnia. Aside from being entertaining, the play delivers valuable life lessons, Rowsell said. “It teaches the importance of courage and sticking together.” For Cave she said one of the lessons in the play that she likes is, “It teaches you to be nicer to your brothers and sisters.” The theatre company purchased the rights to the Broad-

way script for $5,000, money worth spending, Rowsell said. He has added a few adaptations of his own to the production. “In the C.S. Lewis book there are illustrations where you can see faces on the trees. Also (in the story) the beavers raise the issue that some of the trees may be spies,” Rowsell said. To illustrate this Rowsell has created a living set with actors playing trees. “The tress dance and exchange their branches (to symbolize the changing of the seasons),” Rowsell said. With a living set and vast array of characters, this cast consists of 32 people. On average a Four Season’s cast is usually around 15 people. A professional ballerina has been cast to play the character of the white stage, a deer who dances throughout the play. “This is not a kid show or an adult show, but a family show,” Rowsell said. All shows are at Isabelle Reader Theatre, 1026 Goldstream Ave., in Spencer middle school. Shows are Oct. 28 at 7:30 p.m., Oct. 29 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., Nov. 4 at 7:30 p.m. and Nov. 5 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the door or online at www.fourseasonsmusicaltheatre.com.

Sooke man pleads guilty to lesser charge in death of Langford teen Sam Van Schie News staff

A Sooke man charged in the death of a Langford teen pleaded guilty in Victoria Supreme Court Monday. But it wasn't for the charge of criminal negligence causing death, which he was scheduled to be on trial for. Instead, 52-year-old Arnett Roderick Marchbank, admitted to a lesser charge of dangerous driving causing death. “Based on the available evi-

dence for the case, the crown agreed this was an appropriate charge,” said Neil Mackenzie spokesperson for Crown counsel. The maximum sentence for dangerous driving is 14 years in prison, while the charge of criminal negligence causing death could have landed him in prison for life. It's been nearly three years since Marchbank crashed his station wagon head-on into 19-year-old Jamie Jackson’s vehicle, instantly killing the Bel-

mont graduate on Jan. 3, 2009. Marchbank was driving into oncoming traffic as he tried to pass vehicles in his lane, in the 4400 block of Happy Valley Road in Metchosin. Mackenzie said since the incident the accused has remained in the community with no Crown-imposed bail conditions, besides the requirement he attend his court dates. A sentencing hearing for the case is scheduled for Feb. 6, 2012 in Victoria. news@goldstreamgazette.com

Dance, silent auction in Langford to help ailing tot Supporters of a Central Saanich child struck with several devastating diseases are raising money for the family in Langford on Friday night. Three-year-old Nathan Loukes suffers from several severe medical challenges, including blindness and a crippling bone disease called osteogenesis imperfecta. To support Nathan’s mother and father, Joey and Jen, his grandmother Janet Reynolds has organized a dance and silent auction at the Langford Legion on Friday night. Reynolds is trying to raise $20,000 to help the family get by. Nathan’s mother can’t work due to frequent trips to the Children’s Hospital in Vancouver and other medical appointments. Reynolds has assembled a vast assortment of silent auction items, including hotel vouchers, sports gear and a hockey stick used during several Stanley Cup playoffs. “There’s been a lot of generosity,” Reynolds said. “The number of (silent auction) items keeps getting bigger and bigger.” Nathan was born blind and later diagnosed with congenital glaucoma. Earlier this year, he

was also diagnosed with osteogenesis imperfecta, which has led to broken bones in his ankles, wrists, finders, toes and two broken vertebrae — his L3 and L5 both have compression fractures.

Private developer to finance station Continued from Page A1

“It is a three-way partnership, but there is no money in it for the City,” Young said. “Langford is a flow-through. The contract is with us, and we have a contract with the person who will own the building.” The final owner remains unclear. Jim Hartshorne, with Keycorp, said business details on ownership are still being finalized. Hartshorne, who has built other earthquake resistant buildings, estimates this 13,850 square foot ambulance station and dispatch centre will cost about $7 million. “It is not a cheap building. Post-disaster is expensive,” he said. “But we are well on our way to making this happen. With what the ambulance service requires and when the (Spencer) inter-

In partnership with Langford and a development company, B.C. Ambulance Service plans to relocate its Vancouver Island dispatch to a new building on Leigh Road. The project will provide “good value” to the taxpayer, she said. To the irritation of a few West Shore politicians, this summer the ambulance service sent two of the three Colwood-based ambulances to Victoria during the day to balance the regional call load.

change is built, you couldn’t find a much better location. It’s all about finding the right location at the right price.” BC Ambulance spokesperson Kelsie Carwithen said the motivation to move to a new building is about improving patient care in the region and the West Shore.

NEED SOME SKIN WORK?

Carwithen said that threemonth pilot project is complete and undergoing evaluation. She couldn’t say if the practice of relocating ambulances would impact the new four-bay station. The station will be the first new building abutting the Spencer interchange, which remains unfinished. Langford is spending $2.5 million to rebuild and widen Leigh Road to three lanes and to build an northbound onramp to the Trans-Canada Highway. Young hopes the ambulance dispatch is the start of government offices setting up shop in Langford. The City offers tax holidays to buildings built specifically for provincial or federal agencies. “Hopefully we’ll get some government offices out here. This station is the first inroad we’ve been able to do.” editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Having a ball on Halloween Charla Huber News staff

In the spirit of keeping the Halloween celebrations alive for adults, two Metchosin councillors are helping organize the Metchosin Foundation Halloween Ball on Saturday night. “We miss going out with our children so we want to go out and have fun again,” said Coun. Moralea Milne. “It’s a good excuse to party. We are looking for an opportunity to go out again.” As a child Milne was either a gypsy or a hobo for Halloween. She would go though her mother’s jewelry or grab one of her

father’s coats and put fireplace soot on her face for a beard. For Coun. Jo Mitchell, dressing up for Halloween has always been a favourite activity. She has a trunk of costumes at her home, and said her secret to a good costume is putting it together right before the event. “If you like to dress up, now is your opportunity,” Mitchell said. “Dressing up gives you a chance to have a new persona,” Milne added. The event doubles as a fundraiser for Metchosin Foundation. The money raised will go towards obtaining conservation land covenants and other

community projects. The ball is licensed with beer, wine and cider. Sandwiches will be served at midnight. Music will be performed by the Metchosin rock and roll band, Fine Spirits. This is the first year of the Metchosin Foundation Halloween Ball, but they are hoping to make this an annual event. “We want to have an annual dance every year. It’s something people can look forward to,” Milne said. The Halloween Ball is at the Metchosin Community Hall from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m., Oct. 29. Tickets are $15. reporter@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW

Occupy Victoria facing quandary I

t’s been described as a movement of presence rather than a movement of protest. Occupy Wall Street continues to gather momentum in cities around the world, including downtown Victoria. While the mantra of this movement is “staying until the financial system changes,” the time is coming for this nascent revolution to shift its energy into a new manifestation of the cause. It’s not clear what that will look like, but we know what it can’t allow itself to become a burden on people it seeks to help. Occupy Wall Street and the hundreds of localized versions are about an inclusive call for change. So far, the swelling protest has avoided the kind of controversy that would sway public opinion against it. In Victoria, one of the biggest concerns was that the occupation of Centennial Square would be co-opted by activists who think camping should be allowed in all public spaces. The movement is an expression of frustration with how our political and financial system appear to be tilted toward the financial elites. The pendulum has swung too far and, bruised from the recession, there simply is not enough trickle down to keep people happy. That said, if the hope is to empower people, then the Victoria occupiers will soon find themselves in the uncomfortable situation of being seen as the ones forcing their will on the very public they claim to represent. Centennial Square traditionally becomes a focal point for the community deeper into the fall. An ice rink will offer an opportunity for families to skate and annual Christmas celebrations inspire deep feelings of goodwill. These are not things the Occupy Wall Street movement wants to protest. By all means keep going, but don’t stop the people from enjoying what is already a public space for the 99 per cent. What do you think?

At the very least, online vote contests offer an alternative to politically-driven funding decisions. Some might even call it direct democracy, making decisions by open vote. (Though the businesses sponsoring the challenges probably just call it cheap publicity, since the charitable donations they make can be written off on their taxes.) Whatever you call it, the money can do a lot of good for a community and this compels me to keep voting for the projects I want to see happen. But I’m glad at a government level there’s somebody else reading applications and choosing whom to write a cheque to — as unfair as it might seem at the time. It’s got to be tough to know funding one thing means denying many other worthy projects. The number of entrants competing for money online shows just how many great ideas are on the table. Each of them comes from people trying to make their communities better. I hope my votes, even if they don’t result in a funding win, let the organizers know they have people who want to see them succeed. news@goldstreamgazette.com —Sam Van Schie is a reporter with the Goldstream News Gazette.

lies ministries going to disabled people as well. The political focus has been on CLBC’s closure of 65 group homes with only 200 residents, and its push for adult adoptions rather than institutions with shift workers. This is true “community living” that should be established where practical, with appropriate inspections. The NDP wants a moratorium on group home closures, even if they’re decrepit or mostly empty. It wants a backlog of 2,800 applications for new or increased service eliminated, apparently without any efficiency moves. It wants an “independent review” of CLBC followed by a full-time independent advocate for developmentally disabled people. Last Friday Cadieux announced that a bonus program for CLBC management has been terminated. “In a peoplefirst organization like CLBC, an incentive plan based on targets and measures is, quite simply, not appropriate,” said a statement from the ministry. No targets or measures. As Premier Christy Clark was recently reminded on health care, even talk of defined cost control is too politically risky. tfletcher@blackpress.ca —Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews. com

LETTERS View Royal taxes hiked too much Tax increases are out of control in View Royal and residents are paying the price. Highlands and Langford had a zero per cent tax increase in 2011. View Royal had an increase of five per cent, continuing a decade long tax increase above the rate of inflation and population growth. Even so that increase doesn’t take into account this council’s increase in user fees for garbage/compost collection and sewage. Further, while casino revenues used to pay for community services such as the Greater Victoria Public Library, these costs are now being added to residents’ taxes. This allows the Town to divert funds to things such as the fire hall land and buildings without getting citizen buy in. In the words of one resident “we are being blue-bridged.” In 2010 the Canadian Federation of Independent Business noted that View Royal local spending grew at 4.41 times the rate of population and inflation growth, the second highest in the B.C. medium-size town category.

We need a council that will pledge to improve transparency and accountability and keep property tax increases below the provincial rate of inflation. Jim Powell View Royal

Give people means to reduce power I have been watching with great mirth as some express concern that BC Hydro may, horrors, eventually use the smart meter to bill us for “time of use” power consumption. I venture that this will save the average electrical power user a significant amount of money if they have their wits about them. How many vacationers take umbrage at resorts up-charging for the more popular seasons of use? Not many, if they understand economics. It is called the law of supply and demand. So, I suggest that our biggest demand be that BC Hydro needs to give us help with the tools to reduce “high season” power usage, and provide us with the equipment to program the big power users when demand is lowest. My automatic dishwasher already has a delay function built in, so why can’t my hot

water tank, furnace or hot tub be similarly programed to heat at 1 a.m. instead of at peak demand times? It seems that people want to rant at BC Hydro for the secrecy in their methods, but it is suggested that instead they should be tempting BC Hydro to be more helpful in being more “Power Smart” to be able to consume power during low demand periods. Guess why BC Hydro “invented” the two-tier billing system? Seems like a no-brainer, eh? Be smart and save money. Bruce Morrison Colwood Letters continued on Page A14

Re: Get pilot commuter rail project on track, Letters, Oct. 12, 2011. I question Ted Lewall’s scheme to cheaply modify buses to run on the E&N tracks. Railway maintenance pickup trucks use different main wheels to make their tires fit the distance between railway tracks — the small flanged wheels keep the truck on the slippery track. Also note transit buses have dual rear wheels, and are wider than standard pickup trucks — they simply won’t fit unless railway car wheels of proper size and strength are fitted somehow at substantial cost. As well I ask how fast railway maintenance pickup trucks travel. A transit demonstration project would have to provide a reasonable travel time match to the eventual service, otherwise market response would be under-measured. So the buses must be able to travel as fast as a normal train, thus must have strength, stability and braking capability equal to normal trains. Lewalt correctly points to the deplorable state of E&N tracks, which has been obvious for a long time to anyone who looked at the track, but apparently was ignored by the Island Corridor Foundation. I have pointed to the value of a valid demonstration project, but somehow between the ICF and VIA Rail they’ve impaired the ability to do that by letting the trains and track deteriorate to unsafe condition. Lewalt would have to prove to me the safety of his scheme before I’d want to be anywhere near his cheaply modified buses, let alone on them. Keith Sketchley Saanich

Curves Langford: Fast, friendly, fun – and it works!

Jenn Blyth

With so many fitness and weight loss choices available, choosing the one that’s right for you can be daunting. Luckily when it comes to choosing Curves in Langford, getting the information is easy – just ask the many women who have successfully lost weight and improved their fitness with this women-only, 30-minute circuit program. “I highly recommend Curves, especially for seniors, to keep those bones and muscles in good working order. Weight loss at this time of life may not be the ultimate goal, but it is a good side effect. I have belonged to Curves for the last six years and find, even though I have become another year older, I am getting stronger and losing weight. As a senior, I cannot emphasize enough how Curves has helped me to obtain, and retain, good core muscles, strength and stamina.” – Anita Bjola “Since joining Curves in 2007 – and after more than 500 sessions – I can honestly say that Curves works well for me. Although weight loss was not my goal, I lost 10 lbs and never gained it back. It’s convenient, not time-consuming and keeps me in great shape!” – Ann Mons “I have been a member of Curves for many years. I like the atmosphere and I always feel welcome. While I have never been agile, Curves has helped me with flexibility. I fell and broke my hip, and six months later I am back at Curves. It has greatly improved my ability to recover quickly, as well as my balance and strength. I would recommend it for everyone.” – Anne Elm “I have been coming to Curves since 2002. I try to work out three times a week and though at times it isn’t possible, I keep coming back! My general strength is much better and I know what I need to do to lose weight. The Circuit Coaches keep us on track

and the camaraderie at the gym have been an added bonus. I know how important my fitness is as I age and I know I would not be as motivated to keep up an exercise program at home.” – Audrey McMullen “ I joined Curves shortly after retiring in 2003. I have been going three times a week for almost eight years now and I feel great. This is the first exercise program I have ever participated in. I have a ‘buddy’ who I go with and she is a great support and a good motivator.” – Gerry Law “I came to Curves for exercise and fitness and I have made many new friends who I enjoy spending time with on the circuit and for coffee afterwards. Curves has been an all-around reward for me.” – Pat Smith “I have been going to Curves for six years and the circuit is challenging with your workout adjusted frequently as you get more fit. I have met so many nice ladies, made some very good friends and have fun every time I work out – it’s like Cheers, where everyone knows your name! The staff are caring, always helpful and encouraging you on your diet and keep-fit quest.” – Wilma Hanaka “I am in my eighth year at Curves and try to attend early mornings two to three times a week. That, plus a daily 40-minute walk with my dog keeps me fairly mobile. Curves in Langford is in a large, clean room with a cheerful decor. The staff is well-trained, always watchful and kind with their corrections. A great place to exercise!” –Mona Olmstead For more information, visit Curves Langford at 109-2355 Millstream Rd., call 250-391-9262 or visit online at www.curvesvictoria.com

Passport price hike expected next year City declines Rudy Haugeneder News staff

By this time next year, you could be paying up to $225 for a new Canadian passport — called an ePassport and good for 10 years. It will include an electronic chip

encoded with your name, gender, date and place of birth, and a digital portrait of your face. But until then the standard five year passport will continue to cost $87. Beatrice Fenelon, a spokesperson with Passport Canada, confirmed the new ePassport is to be launched before the

end of 2012 but no decision has been made on price. The agency will also continue to offer five-year passports. Prime Minister Stephen Harper recently paid $225 for a diplomatic ePassport, causing speculation that price will become the new rate for all ePassports.

Queen statue Roszan Holmen News staff

Victoria may have a reputation for being British at its core, but there’s little appetite for a statue of the Queen. Sculptor Armando Barbon offered the piece to the City as a gift to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee, her 60th year on the throne. Barbon keeps a studio on Cloverdale Avenue. His statues can be seen at several Greater Victoria locations: A town crier welcomes visitors to Ogden Point, soccer players grapple for the ball at Royal Athletic Park, and an athlete graces Camosun College’s Pacific Institute for Sport Excellence. His latest offer, however, didn’t fit the Victoria’s newly adopted art in public places policy. The City has few prime sites remaining for significant art pieces, explained Jon Tupper, chair of the art in public places advisory committee. Further, a full competitive process for the procurement of public art should be employed for prime sites, he wrote in his report to council. Lastly, acceptance of this work would be a de facto commission since it has not yet been produced and would require City resources to install and maintain. On Oct. 20, Victoria council approved the recommendation to decline the statue. The statue could still find a home on other property, such as land owned by the Provincial Capital Commission, or on private land.

Illustrators’ private worlds captured for exhibit Photographer’s images paired with artworks for showing at Cedar Hill Rec Centre’s gallery café Erin Cardone News staff

Among illustrators, there’s a sense of community. It stems from the isolationist nature of their work, said illustrator Barbara WeaverBosson, but also from the fact their work often serves as a complement to a story. Often, illustrators’ work isn’t shown in galleries, rather it appears in children’s books or other texts. “Generally an illustration is used (for a purpose) where you’re using it to match a thematic bit with a story,” Weaver-Bosson said. “That could be in the way of editorial or a children’s story. It supports the text or even enhances the text or manuscript. You don’t always have to be literal when you’re an illustrator, but you’re always an artist first.” Twenty-five years ago, a group of local artists formed the Island Illustrators’ Society, meeting monthly at the former North Park Gallery. “We all spoke the same language, even though some of us were designers, some were photogs,” Weaver-Bosson said. “We were wanting to communicate with the public how our group can be useful in the community, and help with business and support and mentor each other. We all became hugely connected and good friends.” To celebrate the group’s silver anniversary, members are showing a selection of their works, called Celebrate Success: 25 Years of the Island Illustrators’ Society, at Cedar Hill Recreation Centre’s gallery café. The illustrators’ works are paired with self-written narratives about their work and photographs by local photographer Raymond St. Arnaud, who shot each artist in his or her studio. “One of the things I tried to do was, if the artist had a space, I tried to show what they see outdoors, or if they were daydreaming,” St. Arnaud said. “I didn’t do that all the time, but I’m trying to show the space or the environment that

Lewis is a member of the Island Illustrators’ Society, which is featured in a new exhibit at the Cedar Hill Recreation Centre. the artist is in.” He used a wide-angle lens to capture as much of the works space as possible. “I try to let them be themselves as much as possible,” he said of the illustrators. “I usually do not give them a lot of guidance. I show up and see what they do, where they work and how things are placed. Eventually, they seem to settle themselves into kind of a natural, comfortable place.” In all, St. Arnaud photographed 68 local illustrators. Each of those photos is in a new book he’s launching in conjunction with the

exhibit called The Island Illustrators’ Society … 25th anniversary … 68 studio visits. Illustrator Sandy Terry said the pictures are like “a window into the creators’ world.” “The reason I love it is (because) where an artist creates is a very special place. It’s like your sanctuary where you’re making something that hasn’t existed before. To have that space and have it photographed – I love that (St. Arnaud) is taking you into that private world.” ecardone@vicnews.com

Province won’t fund regional deer management plan increase unencumbered,” Pendergast said. “And hunting is becoming less acceptable, even legal hunting practices, so really the only predator they have these days is automobiles.” As a wildlife biologist, he says relocation isn’t in the best interest of the animals. It puts them at a huge disadvantage, survival-wise, being in a brand new environment. “But quite often (relocation is) a public desire before even mentioning a cull.” Also included in the CRD report are the results of a call for public input on deer-related issues. More

than half of the 389 submissions received were property damage complaints. The province is willing to provide staff support through a deer control planning process and will agree to lend equipment — clover traps, net guns, tranquilizers — during the implementation. “I think we’ve lit a bit of a fire under the CRD — things are moving along,” Causton said, acknowledging that he first asked regional staff to look at a management plan a year ago. “We’ve got to step up from what we’ve got now, which is nothing.”

Don Denton/News staff

For deer like this one crossing Henderson Road, vehicles are the only predator left in the region, says one wildlife biologist.

Kyle Slavin News staff

Not one penny. That’s how much financial support the Capital Regional District can expect from the province to help tackle problems with the region’s burgeoning deer population. A report presented to the CRD’s planning, transportation and protective services committee last week said “no financial resources would be available” from the Ministry of Environment to support a deer management plan. “I believe it has to be a multi-pronged approach. I see the province, ICBC and ourselves — as the Capital Region — implementing probably a three-stage solution,” said Oak Bay Mayor Christopher Causton, chair of the CRD parks committee. The first stage would involve an education campaign and stricter bylaws around feeding animals. The second would be tranquilization and relocation of deer, and the third would be a selective cull. “The municipalities have to agree to a plan and then the province needs to indicate they’re tak-

ing this seriously now,” Causton said. “(The deer population) can’t go on exploding.” The report presented to the CRD doesn’t offer suggestions for managing the deer. It includes one recommendation: to prepare terms of reference for a plan and seek out funding partners. Causton’s hope that ICBC will get involved stems from the increasing number of car-deer collisions. The report says the number of crashes has increased by an average of 13 per cent each year since 2000. “Between 1997 and 2007 animal-related insurance claims in BC have increased from $15.8 million to $30.8 million,” reads the report. Sean Pendergast, a wildlife biologist with the Ministry of Forests, said Greater Victoria’s issues are the result of urban spread. “We’ve done a very good job in our urban and rural areas of eliminating all predators — cougars and wolves — so the deer numbers are able to

Union blasts Esquimalt over policing decision Erin McCracken News staff

The union representing Victoria’s uniformed police officers is questioning the timing of Esquimalt’s announcement last week that it prefers the RCMP over the Victoria Police Department. The announcement was made after the close of the municipal candidate nomination period on Oct. 14, when it became official that

Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins had no competitors in the election. That reeks of “pre-election grandstanding,” said Tom Stamatakis, president of the B.C. Police Association, which includes the Victoria City Police Union. “Maybe if that announcement had been made earlier where there was an opportunity for a bit of a dialogue or a bit of a debate, who knows, maybe someone with a different perspective would have

announced their intention to run against the mayor.” Esquimalt’s decision, which, if approved by the province, would take more than $6 million away from VicPD’s annual budget, could lead to 30 to 40 job cuts for the newest officers, Stamatakis said. “It’s brutal,” he said. “It’s very disconcerting.” He takes exception to the suggestion “that the service these members provide isn’t adequate or that, from a cost perspective, the citizens in Esquimalt aren’t getting a good deal.” But Esquimalt residents and councillors say the union presi-

dent is taking things too far. “Barb (Desjardins) did not bring this on,” said Esquimalt council watchdog Rod Lavergne. “(Esquimalt’s decision) was forced out.” “This was done the end of June,” Coun. Meagan Brame said, noting the Esquimalt policing advisory panel’s decision was submitted to the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General on June 30. “We were as baffled as everybody else as to why all of a sudden this did the whole blow-up thing,” Brame said, adding the panel and council didn’t want to reveal the choice before Solicitor General Shirley Bond made

her decision. “Why upset an apple cart when it might not fall over or it might, nobody knows,” said Brame. “Until it’s said and done and signed, there is no guarantee. “Had we stayed quiet we would have been blamed of secrecy. We are darned if we do and darned if we don’t.” It also shouldn’t come as a surprise to the police union and Victoria’s mayor and police chief that Esquimalt prefers the RCMP over VicPD, given the township’s issues at the Victoria Police Board level. “If Victoria is surprised by this, where have they been?” Lavergne said.

Black Press

The B.C. government has revamped its tourism marketing strategy to focus on areas of strength, with a more modest growth target than than the one set before the 2010 Olympics. Premier Christy Clark announced a new five-year strategy at a tourism industry conference in Victoria Tuesday. Its goal is to increase B.C. tourism revenues five per cent each year until 2015, rather than doubling tourism by that time as was ambitiously projected before the Olympics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It recognizes that the world economy is in rough shape, and I think we need to be more real about the goals that we set,â&#x20AC;? Clark told reporters after the speech. The strategy focuses eight kinds of tourism where B.C. has an advantage: touring vacations, city experiences, skiing and snowboarding, aboriginal tourism, conventions and outdoor adventure-ecotourism. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a switch from promoting B.C. generically to promoting specific activities, the reasons why people come to British Columbia,â&#x20AC;? said Pat Bell, minister of jobs, tourism and innovation. This winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ski promotion has a budget of $1.1 million, half of which will go to advertising in Ontario. The rest will be shared between Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles, where B.C. has long promoted its â&#x20AC;&#x153;super naturalâ&#x20AC;? attractions in

this summer showing tourist visits below those in 2009, despite an increase in international visits.

Whistler and a dozen other B.C. ski resorts will benefit from a $1.1 million marketing effort. generic campaigns. Longer-term efforts will be directed to emerging markets in China, India and Mexico, in addition to Japan, South Korea, Australia, Germany and the UK. Clark also promised a new destination marketing organization with industry representation will be developed. The B.C. government surprised the industry with its 2009 announcement that it would disband Tourism BC and bring the post-Olympic tourism marketing program back into the government. NDP tourism critic Spencer Chandra Herbert said the new agency is an admission that the government made a mistake that alienated the tourism industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They got rid of tourism industry

Shutouts, ties and wins, oh my Unbeaten streak intact as national-bound Vikes take first in Canada West

Rested and ready Both Peter Richmond and Miguel Romeo missed last season, though Kilpatrick was there as an assistant coach. Kilpatrick was also a member of the Gorge senior men’s team that won silver at the 2010 Canadian national championships. Richmond and Jordie Oberg did not dress on Sunday, nursing minor injuries, but both will travel to the prairies this weekend, Wilson said. Wilson gave a nod to David Adams, Cam Hundal, Craig Gorman, and the Barrett brothers, Wes and Gavin, as players who’ve come around and are making the Vikes successful.

Travis Paterson News staff

It took a little luck but the University of Victoria Vikes men’s soccer team escaped with its fifth straight win on Sunday, beating the Lethbridge Pronghorns 1-0 at Centennial Stadium. The Vikes downed the Calgary Dinos 3-1 on Saturday and are now first in Canada West and haven’t lost in 10 games dating back to a 2-1 loss against Trinity Western University on Sept. 10. Wins over the Saskatchewan Huskies (4-6-2) and Alberta Golden Bears(6-2-4) on the road this weekend would clinch first place for the Vikes (8-2-2), meaning they’d pick up the hosting duties for the Canada West Championship, Nov. 5 and 6. The Vikes automatically qualify as hosts of the CIS Championships, Nov. 10 to 13. “We’re in the mix to win nationals, there’s no reason not to be,” said head coach Bruce Wilson. “But it’s a very tough Canada West (conference).” With fleet-footed Vikes Thomas Mallette and Andrew Ravenhill running freely in Lethbridge’s zone, Sunday’s shutout could have come with a little less stress, Wilson said. “We could have finished on some of (our) chances. A bit of experience comes with these shutouts,” Wilson said, noting that the Pronghorns had many, dangerous chances. “Sometimes, teams in Lethbridge’s position (out of the playoff) are like wounded animals.

Calgary Dino Dustin Rudell and UVic Vike Thomas Mallette keep their eyes on the ball during the Vikes 3-1 win at Centennial Stadium on Saturday. most dangerous when they have nothing to play for.” Colin Wilson scored the Vikes’ only goal against Lethbridge, heading in a corner kick from Wes Barrett near the end of the first half. But with key veterans Peter Richmond and Jordie Oberg out of the lineup with minor injuries, the close score provided for a few hairy moments against the flow of the play. One giant lob in the 90th minute arched over Vikes goalkeeper Daniel Kilpatrick and defender Bobby Eng, only to bounce square off the top of the crossbar. “Nervous,” Kilpatrick said

on how he was feeling in the moment. “It ended up getting between me and the striker. I was (left) hoping it would bounce over the bar.” It was the second win of the season for Kilpatrick, a fifthyear student who shares goalie duties with fellow Oak Bay High grad Eliott Mitrou (third-year). “We got the shutout which is all that matters, but hopefully we can get a few goals this weekend to give our back end a bit of a buffer,” Kilpatrick said. Kilpatrick is studying a masters in public health and social policy and is one of a few players returning after time away from the Vikes.

Just six months ago Shannon Elder was patrolling midfield for the Claremont Spartans. Her team won the Island championship but fell in the provincial final. Elder’s penchant for big games continued this week as the rookie scored twice in three minutes to lift the Vikes women’s soccer team over the Fraser Valley Cascades 2-1 in Abbotsford on Saturday. The win keeps the Vikes women’s playoff hopes alive with a record of 6-4-3, tied for the fourth and final playoff spot in the Canada West standings with the Calgary Dinos (6-3-3). The Vikes host Fraser Valley (3-7-3) at noon, Oct. 29 and need a win and some outside luck if they’re to make the Canada West Championship. Calgary has a game in hand on the Vikes. But they also have a tough draw, as Calgary hosts the first-place Trinity Western Spartans (10-1-1) and the second-place UBC Thunderbirds (9-1-2). sports@goldstreamgazette.com

Green pedals, Low pens into sports hall of fame Max Low first made headlines out of local athletes with the Daily Colonist in 1971 and now its his name that will live forever in the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame.

Johnston played a key role with the 1980s and 90s national teams and is famous for making national rugby stars out of unsuspecting Oak Bay students.

Not so soft star Softball star Gail Archibald was an elite pitcher in B.C. for the Polyettes and Victoria/Molson Vicettes from 1959-1965 before moving to Vancouver where she played for the for Texaco and Eldorado teams from 1966-69.

Advertorial

REMEMBRANCE DAY – NOVEMBER 11th

The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, Canadians pause to remembering and honouring in silence the thousands who paid the ultimate price and sacrificed their lives during the First World War (1914-1918); the Second World War (1939-1945); the Korean War (1950-1953) and those who are still serving, fighting for the freedom and democracy you and I enjoy today.... This day, Remembrance Day, we all gather at the cenotaph at Veterans Memorial Park, and at the eleventh hour we stand with our heads bowed with thoughts and prayers for those men and women who fought and lost their lives in serving their country. There are many, WW1, WWII, Korean, Merchant Navy, United Nations Peacekeepers and Afghanistan Veterans, who

Lest

we F orget

are all recognized on this day. The Royal Canadian Legion Veterans from Langford Branch No. #91 will be attending with great pride at the Cenotaph alongside with fellow veterans, military personnel, Federal, Provincial and Municipal officials, Army, Navy and Air Force Cadet units, Boy Scouts, Girls Guides and Beavers, members of local organizations and citizens of the West Shore communities, together with everyone remembering. We stand with our heads bowed in prayer observing and listening as the flags flutter in the breeze, we can’t help but glance at the expressions of emotion and the tears of remembrance rolling down the cheeks of those “old enough” who pause to remember what this day means

Money donated during the Poppy Campaigns is placed in public trust funds. Some of the many ways this money is used to improve life for people living in the Western Communities include: • Providing assistance to needy ex-service members and their families • Assisting in affordable housing for veterans and senior citizens • Purchasing medical equipment and appliances for community health facilities • Repairs and maintenance for wheelchairs and electric scooters • Providing support services to senior citizens (drop-in centres...etc) • Emergency travel, shelter, food, living expense, travel expense • Awarding of bursaries for needy students • Awarding prizes for literary and poster contests to school children

to them. This day reminds them of lost friends and memories past. Now, for most children, the First and Second World Wars are “too far in the past” for them to appreciate on a personal level but deep inside, they too, somehow realize how fortunate they and we all are. We soon forget the sadness of this day and rejoice in just being together both the young and the old. As in previous years, the Royal Canadian Legion Langford Branch No. 91 commences their annual Poppy Campaign prior to the Remembrance Day Celebration. This year the Poppy Campaign will commence October 28th and end on November 10th.

As you can see there are many ways that our Poppy monies help. We are always getting requests for ﬁnancial assistance. The only way we can achieve the goals we set forth every year is to get as much help from OUR COMMUNITY and of course OUR LEGION MEMBERSHIP. So for OUR COMMUNITY, when a Legionnaire arrives at your business door, or you see them offering poppies at various West Shore locations, PLEASE GIVE THEM YOUR SUPPORT. And, for OUR LEGION MEMBERSHIP, Please VOLUNTEER. Langford Branch No.91 and the Poppy Campaign Committee would like to ask YOU to step forward and VOLUNTEER for this year’s campaign. We cannot support our Veterans and their dependants, as well as the many community groups, without a very successful POPPY DRIVE. It will only be for one or two, 2-hour shifts, during the campaign. If you want to VOLUNTEER, please leave your name and phone number at the Branch Office at 250-478-1828.

Give them power. Give them confidence. Give them control.

GIVE THEM A PAPER ROUTE! A paper route is about so much more than money. These days kids want and need so many things. With a paper route they not only earn the money to buy those things, they also gain a new respect for themselves. They discover a new sense of confidence, power and control by having their very own job, making their own money and paying for their own games, phones and time with friends. All it takes is an hour or so after school Wednesday and Friday. And even better... there are no collections required.

It’s so easy to get started… call

safety tips Halloween een is a time for people young and old to enjoy a little mischief and mayhem. Here’s some tips to make Halloween as safe as it is fun.

Use face ace paints instead of masks that obscure vision.

Wear reflective tape on darker costumes or when trick-ortreating at night.

Take a planned route and don’t waver off the path.

Be sure costumes are not tripping hazards.

LED lights or glow sticks are a safer alternative to lit candles. Stick to trick-ortreating in trusted neighbourhoods.

T i k t t iin a Trick-or-treat group and never alone. Be extra-cautious of cars when walking at night.

HALLOWEEN FUN PARTY TIPS Have a pumpkin carving night with your friends or family. This is great for a kids party, give prizes out to the most creative! Ask your Halloween party guests to bring a carved pumpkin to the party. Set up a special table to display them all on.

Get together with your neighbors and have an old fashioned neighborhood Halloween block party! Or get everyone on your street to decorate for Halloween and let the local news station and paper know about it! Promote Halloween!

Have a film classic themed Halloween party! Costumes can include Dracula, the Wolfman, the Mummy, Frankenstein and his bride, Freddy Kruger, Michael Myers, Jason, to name just a few. Watch a scary film, an old classic or a newer horror movie. Make some popcorn, invite friends over!

Safe Jack-O-Lanterns! If you are using a lot of Jack-OLanterns for your party or haunt, you might want to try a battery powered light source or light sticks to light them instead of candles. This cuts down on the fire hazards, such as catching costumes or props on fire.

Offering private music lessons in Guitar, Voice, Cello, Piano and Violin. Contact us for more details.
