Colwood shells out for crossing guards Sam Van Schie News staff

Colwood council has reluctantly agreed to cover the costs of school crossing guards last year after falling short on business sponsors. Guards at Sangster, Colwood and David Cameron elementary schools cost about $21,000 per year. Businesses covered all but $3,000 through the City’s “Adopt a Crossing” program during 2010-11. Last week Colwood council voted unanimously to dip into

its contingency fund to cover the shortfall for last school year and, if necessary, do it again this year. “The mayor (Dave Saunders) and I are actively seeking business sponsors,” said Coun. Judith Cullington. “We’re hopeful something will come through so this doesn’t fall to the taxpayers again.” For 2011-2012, Thrifty Foods has sponsored the crossing guard at Colwood elementary and Shaw Communications gave $7,000 to cover guards for half of the year at the

other two schools. The City needs another $7,000 to cover the remaining cost of the program. Several councillors expressed frustration that the responsibility for crossing guards doesn’t fall to the Sooke School District. “The school district has a much larger budget than the City,” Coun. Ernie Robertson lamented. “Their primary responsibility should be for the kids getting to school safe, which includes crossing the street.”

Coun. Gordie Logan said it’s unlikely the school district will change its position on funding the guards anytime soon. “Other municipalities are up against the same struggle,” he said. “Ultimately this is on our shoulders. We need to (guarantee the funding) to provide certainty to the parents that there will always be a guard there for their children.” Lehigh Northwest Materials funded all three crossing guards until its gravel mine operation in Royal Bay closed in 2008.

Two teenagers from Langford have been charged with arson in relation to last week’s fire at Savory elementary. West Shore RCMP major crimes investigators arrested a 16-year-old male the morning of Sept. 14. He was released and placed on a curfew. The second suspect, Jordan Deluca, 19, turned himself in at the Western Communities Courthouse on Monday morning after a warrant was issued for his arrest. Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz said the suspects were tracked down in part due to information passed on by the community. “The West Shore RCMP wishes to thank all those concerned citizens who came forward and provided information, allowing us to further our investigation,” Rochlitz said. “We’re happy. It brings a level of closure to all those displaced by the fire.” Sooke School District superintendent Jim Cambridge said the quick arrest points to the close co-operation between the district, the Langford fire department and the RCMP. “It really shows when there are crimes like these, whoever does it gets caught,” Cambridge said. Rochlitz couldn’t say if the young men had attended Savory in the past or had motivations behind allegedly setting the fire. The fire, called in Sept. 11 at 5:45 a.m., burned through an administrative wing of the 45-year-old elementary school in Langford.

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF

Plea delayed for driving death

The wheels of justice are turning slowly for the Canada Day death of a motorcyclist in Langford. An expected plea last week by Tracy Smith has been delayed for another few weeks, after Crown counsel said it hadsn’t received the complete evidence package from the RCMP, now expected by this week. The next hearing is Sept. 22, although defence lawyer Robert Jones said he’ll need more time to review the Crown’s evidence before entering a plea. “By Thursday (Crown) will tell me if they’ll stay with the present charges, whether there will be a variation or if they’ll add charges,” Jones said. “But there won’t be a plea (this) week. I’ll need time to review the material with my client.” Smith, 35, of Victoria is charged with dangerous driving causing death and impaired driving causing death, in the death of motorcyclist Janarthan Mahenthiran. Mahenthiran, 47, died when a oncoming Lexus crossed the line and hit his Yamaha FZ-1 head-on on the Trans-Canada Highway near the Spencer interchange. The southbound vehicle plowed into him around 12:20 p.m. on July 1. Smith is being housed in an addictions recovery centre in Surrey.

Solid turnout for Terry Fox run

The West Shore Terry Fox run saw its most successful turnout in years on Sunday. The 17th annual run at West Shore Parks and Recreation drew 101 participants for the 2.5 or 10 kilometre run and raised nearly $4,000, said organizer Courntney Hill. Proceeds are going to the Terry Fox Foundation. See www.terryfox.org.

2 Thumbs Up Video owners Simon Moylan and Ross Young, with manager Amber Sorenson, say their store is surviving just fine, despite heavy competition from the Internet and videoon-demand. Edward Hill/News staff

In retail video, the small survive Edward Hill News staff

First Blockbuster Video closed its doors, then Rogers Video sold off its stock of DVDs. In the dogeat-dog world of retail video rentals, 2 Thumbs Up Video has suddenly found itself as the sole survivor on the West Shore. Besides a few corner stores offering DVD rentals, the independent Langford retailer “is the last man standing,” quipped 2 Thumbs Up co-owner Simon Moylan. Unlike their corporate competition, the owners say business is steady and plenty of people still rent DVDs. “It’s would be a shame to see the death of the video store,” Moylan says. “It’s close, believe me, but we plan to stick around.” In the past few years, legal and illegal downloading of movies on the Internet and immediate access to films through cable TV has helped shutter dozens of video outlets across the city. Amber Sorenson, 2 Thumbs Up manager and eight-year employee, said Internet companies such as Netflix aren’t taking a big bite out of the retail video rentals, but pirated movies do cut into the bottom line — as does the increas-

ingly popular video-on-demand. VOD is practically a dirty word among the 2 Thumbs Up owners, but they compete by renting new release videos at a lower price than what is piped through Shaw or Telus. As a point of pride, they also give clients plenty of slack when it comes to late fees. “We’re flexible. We want to be a neighbourhood video store people want to come to,” says Ross Young the other owner of 2 Thumbs Up. “We understand people are our bread and butter. If they are good to us, we are good to them.” With more options to access movie content at home, fewer people are venturing out to rent DVDs, a trend that shows no sign of reversing. Sorenson says rapid residential growth on the West Shore helps balance out that trend. “Even before Rogers and Blockbuster closed, we had lots of loyal customers,” she said. “A lot of people I have personally seen grow up, they’ve come here since they were kids.” “There are a lot of older customers not plugged into the Internet, and they don’t want to be,” Young pointed out. “Some people have bought expensive home entertainment systems and worry there won’t be DVDs anymore.”

High speed, high bandwidth Internet and online distribution services have helped hollow out the retail video industry, but Royal Roads University communications professor David Black says the corporate economic model was pretty poor to begin with.

“Peoples’ appetite for video content is very strong. They will find ways to get it, Blockbuster or not.” –David Black RRU communications professor Big chains focused on pushing new Hollywood releases, which is only viable with a significant time lag between a video release to retailers and other players in the film distribution food chain. When that gap disappeared and customers didn’t have to suffer often rigid and unsympathetic policies on late fees, the big chains quickly unravelled. And where most people wouldn’t shoplift a DVD, Black says the online digitization of movies and music has created expecta-

tions of free and easily accessible content — and a tolerance for illegal downloading. “Once something is digitized, it’s not seen as attached to an economic transaction,” Black says. “When people no longer see a material form, they say ‘why should we pay for it?’” He expects small video retailers to survive if they can carve out a niche for film buffs. “When video stores disappear, people see the new media economy manifested directly. But peoples’ appetite for video content is very strong. They will find ways to get it, Blockbuster or not. “The independents that survive have the advantage of being a place people want to go to,” Black adds. “Browsing DVDs and talking to staff, you get an informal film education, which you lose if everything is piped directly to us.” The owners of 2 Thumbs Up say they don’t revel in the competition closing their doors, but it has helped bring in more customers. “It’s never good to see anyone close. The people losing their jobs are young guys,” Young says. “As long as people keep coming, we aren’t shutting down. We’ve got six people working here. This is their livelihood.”

A Langford teenager fresh out of high school is looking to land his first job as a Langford councillor. Grant McLachlan, an 18-yearold who graduated from Belmont secondary in June, plans to run for a Langford council seat in the Nov. 19 municipal election. “Through my years in Spencer (middle school) and in high school, I’ve seen a lot of changes in Langford,” he said. “Some I agree with, some I don’t.” McLachlan said he’s focusing on bringing a more aggressive environmental sensibility to council when gauging the merits of property development. He’s also advocating that Langford adopting a “living wage” policy, and he wants to be a voice for youth on council. “I opposed to development that damages ecosystems,” McLachlan said. “I want to see an environmentally responsible

Pro mountain biker goes behind the lens RRU filmmaker unveils extreme female sports in Indonesia Edward Hill News staff

Even with a population of 250 million people, finding female extreme athletes within conservative and traditional Indonesia is no easy task. West Shore filmmaker Darcy Turenne found the toughest five. A 27-year-old professional mountain biker and former TV host, Turenne spent the beginning of the year living among young women and girls who dared become risktaking athletes. The Eighth Parallel was Turenne’s first shot at a feature documentary, and it also doubles as her thesis for her masters in intercultural and international communication at Royal Roads University. “It’s about how to negotiate being an athlete in a traditional, male dominated society,” Turenne says. “They broke free of the stereotype.” Turenne originally had visions of travelling to Afghanistan to interview women who participate in athletics within a rigid, highly conservative society. “I really wanted to follow a women’s boxing team,” she says. Indonesia seemed a wiser route in terms of safety and sources. “Indonesia is a male dominated Muslim country, but it’s a good mix of safety, sports culture and is still traditional,” she said. “There’s a lot more freedom of movement (than Afghanistan).” She scoured action sports blogs and competition websites to eventually track down five females who fit the bill — 17-year-old Rin and 15-year-old Lasti Riantini are rock climbers; 25-year-old Jasmine Tiara Haskrell competition surfs; 30-year-old Risa Suseanty races mountain bikes; and 12-year-old Kirana Anastasua races motocross. A few other Indonesian female extreme athletes exist, but not many. “These were the five women who were most hardcore,” Turenne says. Over two months in January and February on the islands of Bali and Java and armed only with a Canon D7 camera, one by one she documented how

Darcy Turenne’s first feature documentary features women in who push traditional boundaries with extreme sports. the women navigated their athletic lives against demands of society and tradition. The families welcomed her into their homes and encouraged their daughters to talk

openly about their athletic passions. “Each girl had a different story. I connected with all of them in different ways,” Turenne says, “But the main theme, other than the

challenge, was that usually a male family member was connected to the sport. If a family member is in the sport, that might transcend to the daughter.” Turenne’s The Eight Parallel is part of the body of work generated under the RRU’s Canada research chair in innovative learning and public ethnography, which in a nutshell is cultural analysis through storytelling. “Royal Roads gave me the freedom to dive into a world I wouldn’t have been able to otherwise,” Turenne says. “They left the door open to be creative with research. It’s a theory-based program, but it allows research that connects with regular society.” Turenne has submitted The Eighth Parallel to the Victoria Film Festival, among a number of festivals, and is earning a reputation as an up-and-coming documentary filmmaker. In August she shot a film in Rwanda for the Coca-Cola company, which sponsored a contest linked to women fuelling change in their communities. She described Rwanda as “shockingly clean

and safe.” On a trip to Los Angeles, Turenne created and directed a music video for a band called Risers, after putting out a contest for a free video shoot on the Internet. “I didn’t know I

Three quarters of British Columbians who die, do so without specialized palliative care such as pain management, social support or advance care planning. That statistic, released by the Canadian Institute for Health Information, forms the basis of the Initiative for a Palliative Approach in Nursing: Evidence & Leadership (iPANEL). It’s a project aimed at relieving some of the stresses associated with coming to the end of life. “There are very few things that are more distressing to nurses than caring for people who are dying and in distress,” said Kelli Stajduhar, associate professor in the University of Victoria School of Nursing and Centre on Aging,

Without the increase, the council expected to run out of subsidized fares by the end of March 2012, despite the commission decision in May to increase the allotment from 90,000 to 112,000 tickets and from 800 to 1,000 monthly passes. From now until next March, 135,000 tickets and 1,200 monthly passes will be allocated. “There’s a huge need for it,” said transit commission chair Christopher Causton.

More of Greater Victoria’s needy will have access to subsidized bus fares. Members of the Victoria Regional Transit Commission agreed to temporarily boost the number of subsidized tickets and monthly passes it provides to the Community Social Planning Council. The increase will allow BC Transit to provide a 25-per-cent increase in the number of fares

it allocates through its transit assistance program to nonprofit social service agencies, at a cost of two for the price of one. It’s the second time this year the commission has approved a hike to BC Transit’s assistance program, driven by a growing need for transit services and more social service organizations in Greater Victoria raising funds to buy tickets and passes, said Maureen Sheehan, BC Transit director of business services.

The initiative began in January and will include several research projects over the next four years, including an upcoming nurses survey and a public education component. The key focus, Stajduhar says, is identifying these patients who could benefit from a palliative approach, which centres on conversations with patients and their families about patient needs and wishes, comfort measures, cultural or spiritual concerns, as well as provision

Mayors reeling from ‘sticker shock’ over LRT planning Erin McCracken News staff

In a scene straight out of a classroom, Manuel Achadinha grabbed a marker and headed for the whiteboard at the front of the room. Members of the Victoria Regional Transit Commission and BC Transit staff watched the morning of Sept. 13 as BC Transit’s president and chief development officer drew three lines on the board, accompanied by a few key words, to plot out steps in the proposed $950-million light-rail rapid transit project. That’s when mem“It’s like dealing bers learned the LRT with the Wizard of business report, now in the hands of B.C.’s Oz. It’s all behind the Ministry of Transcurtain. There’s no portation, cost $3.1 million, which has transparency.” already been spent –Frank Leonard by the ministry and Saanich mayor the commission. “It’s basically an application to get in the door,” said Achadinha, noting the report is a critical step in getting the province onboard as a light rail cost-sharing partner, which, in turn, could help BC Transit secure federal financial support. The next phase of the LRT project, which has not yet begun, will feature the development of a $5-million business case that will include legal, engineering, accounting and other project details. In addition to divvying up that cost between the commission and the province, BC Transit hopes the federal government will contribute. A third-party review will be conducted during that phase. But some commission members balked when they heard the tally of the paperwork costs. Saanich Coun. Susan Brice, who sits at the commission table, called their reaction to the news “sticker shock.” Commission members and taxpayers should not be finding out about expensive LRT reports during a whiteboard lesson, said Victoria Coun. John Luton, who sits at the commission table. “It’s not fair,” he said. “I understand and share the frustration. But for me, it’s like how do we work through this rather than get indignant and walk away.” This is a reminder of how imperative it is that the LRT numbers be in the public domain, so taxpayers remain confident in the rapid-transit plan and the process, Luton said.

Employment database for retirees opens in Victoria Third Quarter employment program launched last week, which targets people aged 50 and up. Third Quarter targets people in the third quarter of their lives, especially those in or near retirement. It can connect people to jobs or volunteer opportunities that fit their requirements for flexibility and hope to tap into the knowledge of people with many years of work under their belts. The free service is funded by the federal Office of Literacy and Essential Skills, and is managed by the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce.

It also highlights the need for a new transit governance authority, said Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin, who serves on the commission. The push is on for the Capital Regional District to take over from the commission. “I think there are some decisions being made at the BC Transit board that should be shared with the commission members, and preferably before the decisions are being made,” he said. Frank Leonard couldn’t contain his

disappointment and growing frustration at the meeting. The commission was told in 2008 the report would cost $700,000 to $800,000, not $3.1 million, said the Saanich mayor and commission member. Since the expenses only came to light last week, he said it points to the need for more transparency in the way BC Transit does business. “It’s like dealing with the Wizard of Oz,” Leonard said. “It’s all behind the

The City of Langford is committed to delivering newer forms of housing and increasing the rental housing stock in the community. The goals of the revitalization tax exemption program established by this Bylaw are to: a) Build inclusive neighbourhoods and encourage residential investment and increase density in the City Centre;

c) Increase the rental housing stock and encourage the construc tion of new purpose-built rental housing in the City Centre.

Dr. Brent Morrison, Dr. Sara Buckley, Dr. Ann-Marie Stewart, and Dr. Christopher Snow

Changes in Your Vision You may find it disturbing if you are not seeing things as clearly and sharply as you used to, but as people get older, certain changes in their vision will occur. For example, the pupils of the eyes tend to become smaller, and the crystalline lenses inside the eyes become less clear. You may need more light to see and read comfortably. The decrease in clarity of the crystalline lenses tends to scatter the light entering the eye. This can sometimes cause a fogging of vision or a decreased tolerance to bright headlight glare. As people age the eyes’ focusing ability decreases and it may become more difficult to change focus from distant to near objects and vice versa. These are just a few of the changes in your eyes that may be interfering with your ability to see well and comfortably. If you are experiencing any of these changes in your eyes or if you have other vision problems you feel need attention, have your eyes examined by your Optometrist.

The tax revitalization tax exemption program established by this bylaw is intended to be an incentive to encourage the construction of higher density rental housing in the form of inll development in the City Centre. To be eligible for a tax exemption under the program the owner must enter into a Housing Agreement with the City requiring that the housing is constructed by building permit issued in 2009, and at the framing stage within 6 months of building permit being issued, that the rental housing will be in the form of multi-family apartment housing, with a minimum density of 1.0 Floor Space Ratio and a minimum number of units per building of 10, and the units will be rented to members of the general public for a period of not less than 10 years. The amount of the exemption is 100% of the assessed value of improvements on the parcel and the maximum term is 10 years. The purpose of the Revitalization Tax Exemption Bylaw is to exempt 100% of improvements from municipal property taxes imposed under section 197(1)(a) of the Community Charter on property located at 906 Brock Avenue legally described as: Lots: 1-57, Plan VIS7064, Section 112, Esquimalt District The tax exemption granted under the Revitalization Tax Exemption Bylaw is for a period of 10 years, 2012 through 2021 inclusive.

OUR VIEW

End-of-life care needs attention F

ear of death and dying is common in western culture. Even the word “died” as a way to describe the act of ceasing life as we know it, has been watered down to more gentle phrases such as passed away, perished or crossed over. Those words indicate our desire to ease a person’s path from life to death. It’s ironic, then, that in British Columbia we put More health little money dollars needed relatively into making a person’s final days and weeks for the dying more comfortable. According to a national health information study, a majority of dying people in this province are not receiving an appropriate level of care, whether it be proper pain management, social support or help with post-mortem planning. Caring enough to help a dying person have a more peaceful and respectful end of life is least we can do as a society. It should be noted that dying isn’t reserved for the elderly, as anyone can attest who reads obituary columns or has experienced someone close battling terminal cancer. Through the program Initiative for a Palliative Approach in Nursing: Evidence and Leadership (iPANEL), B.C. nurses and the University of Victoria Centre for Aging are teaming up to figure out how appropriate end-of-life care can be provided to more people in B.C. no matter where they are. The provincial health budget is massive and is expected to grow, given our aging population. And some of that budget goes to hospice facilities around the province. But not everyone wants to die at hospice, where the staff are knowledgeable and compassionate, yet the atmosphere can seem much like a hospital ward. It’ll be up to the provincial government to determine whether iPANEL’s goal of making end-of-life care more far-reaching deserves more funding. But B.C. residents are worth it. What do you think?

I doubt that many people cared about those facts when they heard about Duncan’s Japanese school.

But the group of Japanese expatriates in B.C. did not follow the cultural pattern of the homeland, except in one respect.

They built a big stake in farming and fishing — which was sold at giveaway prices when Japanese-Canadians were pushed into wartime concentration camps. The principle that jumps out of the Japanese-Canadian experience is that cultural systems are living, changing things. They adapt to circumstances. And Islamic culture can also change as Muslim newcomers feel out their place in Canada. The threats that “multiculturalism-isdead” people see in Muslim immigration may be imaginary.

The sad part is most of the speakers there weren’t even from the Juan de Fuca electoral area and most look like they haven’t been in a tent for 40 years. The developer, who has slogged through their misguided verbal and written communications for two and a half years, will probably move to Plan B — resource management. That’s a fancy term for logging the entire property. Then the eco-groupies can get bused out to that area to rant about how the current landscape looks a lot like the moon. Not everyone wants to park their butt in a tent on the cold hard ground. I for one would have loved to rent a cabin at the proposed resort and enjoy a weekend there with my wife and our dogs. Lesson learned. Rational folk have to get as organized as the eco-fringe element. John Townson Colwood

Cars are urban predators for deer Re: Region a predator-free spa for deer, Letters, Sept. 14, 2011. In his letter Todd Stewart says “cars are not predators.” The reality is cars and other motor vehicles probably kill and maim more wild animals than any predator. And the damage is not confined to urban areas. Drive any highway in this country and you will find dead animals lying along the road. Even parks offer little protection. I recall passing a dead black bear lying on the edge of the highway in Jasper National Park. A short distance ahead the driver of a semi was checking his vehicle for damage. The death and injury inflicted on animals by motor vehicles is a serious issue. Dale Lovell Langford

Latoria a poor place for highrise Re: Highrise project proposed near Latoria, News, Sept. 7, 2011. It is difficult to picture a poorer location for a proposed 189-suite tower than on the northeast corner of Latoria Road and Veterans Memorial Parkway.

There is no regular bus service at all, shopping is non-existent, but Colwood council gave initial approval for this application, which increases the density to a max of 152 units per hectare (plus 26 per cent from agriculturally zoned land). I feel that council had already made their decision before the planning committee (which was held during the summer when many residents were away on holidays). A thank you goes to councillor Cynthia Day, who accurately reflected the feelings of those who will be adversely affected by this massive tower. Even the developer’s architect called this building an “urban wall.” This is an obvious case of this council’s desire for the almighty tax dollars, no matter the cost to neighbouring residents. Is there any project that would not be approved by this current council? We look forward to voting in the next election. Ronn Bence Colwood

Three years of tax gouging in Colwood Re: Civic elections about community, Our View, Sept. 14, 2011. Whomever penned this piece obviously does not have a clue about what has actually been happening on the ground in Colwood the past three years. Rather, someone in your organization seems to want to continue to wrongly portray that the past three years have been a heroic exercise to slay dragons of the past. This completely obfuscates the truth, because the previous three years have added to any angst over prior years governance in a variety of ways, chiefly through misguided council priorities. Previous councils in Colwood did not raise taxes 30 per cent in three years including other fees and taxes. Only two sitting council members voted against these absurdly high tax gouges the past three years. This council had choices to make. Rather than cut red tape and bureaucracy in a time of a bad economy, they chose to inflate it with excessive property taxation. Executive hirings, studies and experimentation into the green economy, while adding new costs to new business and construction investment, also prevented new funds from coming in to repair roads and foster new beautification and other infrastructure upgrades to the extent council could have. As is clear for the eyes to see in another community next door, these things can continue to be achieved with the right leadership and approach, despite the challenged economics of recent times. The net result of the policies of the past three years will be

realized in the hands of the new council. Will their excuse for their policies and decisions be “cleaning up messes from previous administrations?” Ernie Robertson Councillor Colwood

Halibut closure unfair to locals Last month’s announcement of a shut-down of recreational fishing is terrible news for coastal communities. Our company operates a number of businesses on the coast of British Columbia, including sports fishing resorts and marinas. Several of these businesses will be severely impacted by this closure. Our employees will soon be dealing with guests that are unable to fulfill their plans to fish halibut, guests that in many cases travelled from great distances, at great expense, to have that experience. We’re also dealing with cancellations. We’ll no doubt be cutting back staffing levels accordingly, resulting in a ripple effect of lost economic activity for these communities where our employees live, work and spend money. In difficult economic times, the results of Department of Fisheries and Oceans policy are completely contradictory to the government of Canada’s attempts to provide economic stimulus. It’s quite simple. The recreational sector, based on its contribution to the economy of Canada, needs more than 12 per cent of the allowable catch. We are by no means advocating higher catch limits than what is prescribed at the beginning of each fishing season for halibut. We just need a bigger slice of the pie to stay in business.

This week only when you spend $1.00 on a delicious chocolate chunk Smile Cookie, Tim Hortons will donate the entire proceeds to Tour de Rock.

Everyone, especially those over 50, should have an electronic hearing test at least once a year. If there is a hearing problem, a free electronic hearing test may reveal that newly developed methods of correction will help, even for those who have been told in the past that a hearing aid would not help them. If you suspect you’ve experienced even a minor hearing loss, step in for a free hearing test. Our Registered Practitioners are trained in the latest auditory testing methods. And we’ll be the first ones to tell you that you don’t need a hearing aid. But if you do have a hearing loss, we’ll explain your results and provide you with a list of options.

Our friends in the commercial sector will also argue that they need to make a living. We wholeheartedly agree. Unfortunately, what has occurred by the protection of this halibut quota is that the quota holders are literally making hundreds of thousands of dollars selling their quota (which was acquired for free) every year. Less than one third of these quota holders actually fish. So in truth, DFO is really protecting big business and quota traders, not the livelihoods of commercial fishermen. If things don’t change, how could we interpret a perpetuation of the existing halibut allocation policy to be anything other than DFO being influenced more by big business and quota traders than by the economic and social needs of thousands in coastal communities? Then there’s DFO’s “experimental fishery,” which is essentially the recreational sector paying big business and quota traders for a right to catch some of their “gifted” halibut quota. Surely DFO can’t be serious? Lanny Sawchuk executive vice-president, chief operations officer Oak Bay Marine Group

Helping the world hear better

Ole Heggen (Opinion, Sept. 9) has done it again. His brilliant cartoon, Notable Moments: Former B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell, deftly

summarizes many of the highlights of Campbell’s career including tearing up health workers’ legally binding contracts, being arrested for impaired driving and imposing the HST — followed by receipt of the Order of B.C. Perhaps the sale of B.C. Rail — after promising not to sell the W.A.C. Bennett legacy — is another clanger that one might add. Perhaps Heggen could produce another cartoon along the lines of the Monty Python “Confuse a Cat” skit regarding Premier Christy Clark and the B.C. Liberals as the “Confuse a Cat” Ltd. — and the B.C. public as the cat that eventually walks away in disgust at the bizarre performance of the Liberals. Or how about Clark as an Olympic diver who perfects a double flip-flop with a twist including her families-first cliche and her various “fixes” of the HST? Surely Clark is the queen of flipflops who claimed for six months she needed a mandate as premier, and now ignores her previous position as support for Adrian Dix and the New Democrats grows.

GEARED UP FOR THE RIDE

Don Denton photo

Tour de Rock 2011 rider and Saanich police officer Scott Green fixes a flat before heading out on a training run from behind Saanich municipal hall.

Tour de Rock riders endure a strenuous training regimen in preparation for their 1,000-kilometre journey Erin Cardone News staff

They’ve biked 140 kilometres, up to the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory and through Jordan River. But that’s nothing compared to cycling the monstrous Mount Washington – at least for Mary Brigham. “Mount Washington was the hardest,” said Brigham, a corporal with CFB Esquimalt’s Military Police Unit. “That was pretty intense. It’s straight uphill, absolutely. It took us under two hours to do it, so we did really well as a team.” Twenty-one riders – 18 officers and three media members – have altered their lifestyle as they train for what could be the toughest ride of their lives – 1,000 kilometres of Island hills and valleys from Port Alice to Victoria. The riders come into the training with varying levels of fitness, said head trainer Rob McDonald, a Saanich police officer. “Some people have never been

on a bike before, some people have quite a history of biking,” he said. “Because it’s so gradual, everybody does really well. The training program is not a fly-by-the-seat-ofyour-pants thing. It’s taken a long time to develop and we tweak it as we go.”

Training for the Tour ■ Tuesdays: Hill work ■ Thursdays: Speed training on flatter roads ■

Sundays: Long rides

The ride’s team of trainers take care of the fitness aspect, but nutritionists, physiotherapists, plus stretching and bike maintenance experts are also in constant contact with the riders, keeping them and their bikes in top form. The riders are grouped into two

sections – North and Central Island, and South Island. The dividing line is at Duncan. McDonald leads training rides for the South Island pack, and while riders north of Duncan follow the same training schedule and style, they report their progress to McDonald. Since starting training in March, the South Island riders have tackled the sharp incline to the observatory. They’ve pedalled Munns Road in the Highlands, cycled to Hartland landfill and powered through distances of 120 and 140 kilometres at a time. “When you get up to those higher kilometres, it’s about riding as a team … All along the way you’ve got your support crew with you,” said Saanich police Const. Matt Cawsey, who rode with the Tour in 2009. “That’s a huge motivation as your legs spin, spin, spin over those kilometres.” Added fellow Saanich Const. Aaron Murray: “It’s not only physical, but emotional as well. But that’s why we have great trainers and

why we’ve been doing this since March. Would I have been ready to do this in March? Absolutely not.” Cawsey said the final ride, which starts Sept. 24, is “nothing to sneeze at. It’s a lot of riding to be doing … and you’re up all day long, almost from 6 a.m. all the way to midnight. The training is designed to help us do that.” McDonald said this year’s team has excelled in training, meaning the three-rides-a-week schedule doesn’t have to push them as hard as the departure date nears. “This year’s team has been really fit, so it’s been really easy to push them a little more. And we’re ahead of where we should be, so it’s a little easier to back off a little bit, whereas in years before, it’s been a real push to the end to get them to where they need to be.” ecardone@vicnews.com

Submarine fire won’t push back planned dive once a team is selected, said Smith, whose workers have spent the past five years improving Victoria and preparing it for weaponization. It’s too soon to tell how long the investigation will take, and what the cost of repairs will be. “It’s one of the things we watch in this, but a lot of the repairs will be conducted using material we have in our supply system,” Smith said. Despite receiving an initial damage assessment the morning of Sept. 7, Smith said it would be premature to speculate whether the source of the fire was electrical. “The very good news is the damage is external to the hull of the submarine, and it’s not the full mast. It’s only portions of it,” Smith said, adding the boat’s watertight integrity has not been compromised. The submarine will be tugged over to Department of National Defence property in Colwood, and submerged a number of times over a period of three to six days by the end of September, said Ellis. Victoria will disappear in the depths of Esquimalt Harbour — the first time since it was taken out of the water for repairs and upgrades five years ago. It came out of the shop in April. The 48-member submarine crew and other civilian and military technical experts will put Victoria through a series of tests to gauge how well its systems are working underwater. The plan is to sail it out to the Strait of Juan de Fuca for sea trials before year’s end.

A fire that recently broke out on the Royal Canadian Navy’s flagship submarine at CFB Esquimalt, won’t sink the navy’s plans to submerge the boat by the end of September. “We’re going to go ahead as scheduled,” said Cmdr. Christopher Ellis, captain of HMCS Victoria. “It’s the opportunity for the crew to actually come together and sail onboard the submarine.” Grey smoke was seen coming out the top of Victoria’s communications mast on Sept. 6 at 10:15 a.m. during a routine radiation hazard survey the vessel was undergoing at the time. The submarine was brought to emergency stations, and at least six submariners were evacuated from the vessel, moored at a CFB Esquimalt jetty, said Ellis. There were no injuries in the incident. The high-tech mast, which allows the crew to transmit data and communicate with aircraft or ships, as well as shore authorities, will soon be removed and examined for damage, said navy Capt. Don Smith, commanding officer of Fleet Maintenance Facility at HMC Dockyard. A technical investigation will soon be launched to assess the extent of the damage and the cause of the fire

Walking a crooked tour Winnipeg’s Crooked Brothers bring their varied country-folk-blues sound to the Fort Café, 742 Fort St., Thursday, Oct. 6 at 8 p.m. Tix: $10 at the door.

Downtown gallery offers more than just exhibit space UVic Art Collections manager thrilled with new digs Sam Van Schie News staff

Joy Davis still finds herself surprised when she steps out her office door and into the heart of downtown Victoria. She used to run the University of Victoria Art Collections from an office on campus, but that changed when the department took over operation of Legacy Gallery this summer. It’s been a month since the Yates Street facility re-opened from renovations that changed it from a café and gift shop to what is now UVic’s primary gallery venue. It now hosts curated shows and includes offices for collections staff, as well as teaching and research space for art students. “We’re bringing art closer to the community,” Davis said. “People wander through here on their lunch break. It’s a lot more convenient than a trip to the university.” Legacy first opened in 2007 as an arm of the UVic Bookstore. But it was always meant to be a gallery first, as a way to honour the late Michael Williams, the Victoria philanthropist and art lover who left virtually his entire estate to the university. “We have a lot more wall space to hang exhibits,” Davis said of the new layout.

“There’s a climate-controlled room where we can show some of the more sensitive pieces.” Williams’ collections of contemporary and First Nations art, along with works bequeathed by John and Katharine Maltwood, make up the bulk of the 27,000 pieces UVic Art Collections draws on for exhibits. The first show in the reopened gallery is Convergence/Divergence: Landscape and Identity of the West Coast. Continuing until Oct. 1, the exhibit features the works of some of the area’s best-known artists, including Emily Carr, E. J. Hughes and Norman Yates. Students gaining work experience at the gallery researched each piece to create the catalogue that goes along with the exhibit. They also worked with faculty from UVic’s anthropology department to produce a film of interviews with the artists. Giant maps of B.C., created by a UVic cartographer, are the basis for a community mapping exercise on one gallery wall. Visitors tag locations with yellow sticky notes, noting memories they have of that place. “We want to continue to build connections with other departments (at UVic),” Davis said. “When we get an idea, we have a wealth of experts on campus to draw on.”

Don Denton/News staff

Curatorial assistant and University of Victoria student Loring Rochacewich hangs a piece by Richard Hunt at UVic’s Legacy Gallery on Yates Street. The next exhibit, opening Oct. 5, is In Her Own Words: Works and Writings by Emily Carr, Katharine Maltwood and Myfanwy Pavelic. The staff will put the show together with help from the women’s studies department. “This is a place to learn, as much as a place to look at art,” Davis said. Upstairs, in rooms closed to the public, art students meet a couple times per week for classes based around the Williams collection. It’s a rare opportunity for them to have original works they can look at in the

classroom, rather than just slides. The gallery is also home to the City Talks lecture series. It kick-starts its second season tomorrow (Sept. 22 at 7:30 p.m.) with a talk by Columbia University’s Jean Howard called Theatre and the City: Early Modern London in Reality and on the Stage. Legacy Art Gallery is located at 630 Yates St., open Wednesday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with no admission charge. For details see legacygallery.ca. news@goldstreamgazette.com

Raise the Floor for new studio

News staff

Peninsula architecture, from churches to historic Glamorgan Farm, and seaside sights such as the Brentwood ferry terminal and Sidney’s fish market make appearances in the 2012 Salish Coast Calendar. “It’s not completely my brainstorm. I was inspired by a calendar called the Bermuda Colours Calendar. It’s been going about 15 years or more in Bermuda,” said Saanich artist and calendar selfpublisher Suzanne Heron. She used photographs and digitally altered them to suit her vision. “It’s been a process, coming to grips with myself as an artist,” she said. “I’ve realized that anytime you start altering the image, you’re taking artistic licence. What

Suzanne Heron shows her first Salish Coast Calendar. I’m after (is) something that’s more evocative.” The opportunity to create the calendar came when

one door closed and another opened. While looking at applying for employment insurance, Heron discovered a federal self-employment program. “It provides an extremely modest wage for 40 weeks, and incredible business coaching,” she said. The coaching came from the Reger Group in Victoria, and from there, Heron was inspired to launch Blue Heron Publishing this year. “The main front-end activity is finding out if you have a valid idea, and doing a lot of market research,” Heron said, adding her coach advised to not “put all your eggs in one geographic basket.” After speaking to retailers around the Capital Region, she came up with a line of cards and a perpetual calendar of Salt Spring artists to go with the original idea. Neighbourhoods, build-

ings and natural places from around the region are represented in the calendar. Tidbits of local history, ecology and traditions are also included, as are monthly recipes from area chefs. “A sense of place and feeling connected to a place is really, really important to me,” Heron said. “It made sense that I wanted to promote that for other people; a sense of community, a sense of belonging, a sense of ‘oh, isn’t that cool? I know that fact.’” The two back pages also contain links to interesting things to see and do around Greater Victoria. For locations where the calendar can be purchased, or to submit favourite places for the 2013 calendar, email suz.heron@gmail.com. reporter@peninsulanews review.com

1 out of 3 Canadians suffer from Thyroid Disease! The most common form of Thyroid Disease is low thyroid. Consider low thyroid function if you experience fatigue or sluggishness, hair or eyebrow loss, weight gain or coldness in your extremities. Clinically low thyroid, as conﬁrmed by your doctor, requires prescription medication. However, supplementing a healthy diet with ThyroSense® will help promote balance to your thyroid. ThyroSense® is recommended by health professionals to help with the symptoms of low thyroid, and is safe to use for those already on medication for low thyroid.

Cranky? PMS? Bloated? Acne? Up to 80% of all women are estimated to experience symptoms of PMS during their reproductive years. The most prominent cause of hormone imbalance related symptoms is excessive estrogen, including exposure to the birth control pill, pesticides and other environmental toxins. Symptoms can include PMS, endometriosis, ﬁbrocystic breast disease, heavy and painful periods, hormonal acne and more…

EstroSense is recommended by health professionals and contains natural ingredients to help reduce the symptoms of estrogen dominance. ®

What health professionals are saying about EstroSense… In my practice I highly recommend EstroSense for women suffering estrogen dominance with conditions such as PMS, heavy periods, endometriosis, fibrocystic breasts, perimenopause and those women using any hormone supplements. Dr. Alvin Pettle, MD, F.R.C.S. (C) As a Naturopathic Doctor, I strongly recommend EstroSense for healthy hormone metabolism in women with PMS, irregular periods, heavy bleeding, fibroids or those taking hormone replacement therapy. Dr. Marita Schauch BSc. ND I love EstroSense’s unique blend of hormone balancing and detoxifying nutrients. I recommend it to my patients with a variety of hormonally related conditions, such as PMS, fibroids, endometriosis, and peri-menopause, including those on natural hormone therapy. EstroSense is also great for maintaining breast health at any age. Dr. Hyla Cass MD, author of 8 Weeks to Vibrant Health

Green taxes on civic agenda Tom Fletcher Black Press

Municipal leaders are gathering for their annual convention in Vancouver at the end of September, and they’ll be calling for changes to green taxes imposed by the B.C. government. The Union of B.C. Municipalities executive has given high priority to a resolution from Smithers calling for changes to the province’s carbon offset program. Municipalities and regional districts, along with school districts and health authorities, are required to buy greenhouse gas emission credits to make their operations “carbon neutral,” with proceeds going to cleanup projects such as natural gas and cement plants. Smithers council is calling for carbon offset payments to be retained by each local government, to use for their own building retrofits, fuel-efficient vehicles or other emissions reduction strategies. Environment Minister Terry Lake has indicated he is con-

sidering such a change, after complaints that the carbon offset program is costing cashstrapped schools and hospitals millions every year. The Squamish-Lillooet Regional District is calling for a portion of carbon tax on fossil fuels to be directed to transit funding. That mirrors a proposal considered by Premier Christy Clark, who will be making her first keynote speech at the UBCM convention on Sept. 30. Resolutions from the Cariboo Regional District and the City of Colwood call for the province to reverse its ban on incandescent light bulbs, citing concern about the disposal of compact fluorescent lights. Fort St. John council has a resolution calling for five per cent of B.C.’s liquor store revenues to go to local drug and alcohol awareness and prevention programs for youth and adults. The UBCM passed a similar resolution in 2004, calling for a share of provincial liquor revenues to support homeless shel-

ters and detox facilities. The District of Metchosin is seeking federal and provincial help to control its population of Canada geese, which has ballooned to between 3,000 and 5,000 with considerable losses to crops. The resolution says geese were introduced to southern Vancouver Island in the 1950s “to provide stock for hunting purposes.” UBCM delegates will also vote on a resolution to allow local governments to offer online voting. The City of Vancouver has a pilot program in the works for advance polls in local elections, which take place across the province this November. Another hot topic at the convention will be Clark’s promise to create a new municipal auditor-general. Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Ida Chong says the auditor will do “performance audits,” such as looking at projects costshared by the B.C. and federal governments to see which communities used them more efficiently. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Greater Victoria’s MPs are raising the red flag over the Conservative government’s plan to resurrect controversial anti-terrorism measures. Last week, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said he was looking at bringing back the ability for police to arrest someone for three days without a warrant if it’s believed they may be involved in terrorist activity. The measure expired in 2007 due to a “sunset clause” attached to it when it was brought in as part of the Anti-Terrorism Act after the 9/11 attacks in the U.S. Victoria’s NDP and Green MPs say they don’t approve of such an “unnecessary” step backward. “The only message I’ve been receiving from my constituents is we should do what we can to protect Canada from these kind of draconian and anti-democratic measures,” Saanich-Gulf Islands MP Elizabeth May said. “It strikes me as excessive and quite unnecessary, and it does real damage to our civil liberties.” Victoria MP Denise Savoie says the NDP won’t support the amendments, as the provision is one that promotes politics of fear and division. “We can’t afford to sacrifice these fundamental rights and freedoms in the name of fear,” she said. “Perhaps when democracy is being challenged, what we need is more democracy, not less.”

She argues that judicial oversight is needed in balancing public safety with human rights. Giving law enforcement unnecessary powers isn’t a viable argument in the supposed name of security. It’s a sentiment echoed by University of Victoria political science professor Colin Bennett. “It’s deeply troubling. There’s no evidence that law enforcement needs these powers,” he said. Also concerning to Bennett is lawful access legislation that, like the Anti-Terrorism Act, is being perceived as an invasion of civil rights. “This would give law enforcement extended access to our subscriber information from all our Internet communication and mobile devices without a warrant,” he said. “It’s deeply troubling they want to do this without any judicial oversight. ... These both turn our constitutional guarantees on its head.” May says as a non-committee member she is one of only five MPs that has the ability to present amendments to bills at the report stage in the House of Commons. She plans on making sure the strong opposition to these provisions is heard. “I have more potential to change bills than MPs in the Liberal, the NDP or the Conservative caucuses,” she said. “We need everyone, Conservatives too, to ask, ‘Are we safer when we decide to surrender civil liberties?’ I don’t think that’s necessarily the case.”

Prying into Victoria’s private eyes Erin McCracken News staff

Under the cloak of night, James Craig navigates his vehicle along a quiet tree-lined street in Victoria and spots the residence he has been hired to observe. The lights inside are on, and the subject’s vehicle is parked out front. “I do a visual, a quick snapshot,” says Craig, who has been a private investigator for 25 years. “As I’m driving by, I’m also checking to see which surveillance positions would serve me best. I’ve got a lot of information already.” He slips his vehicle into a curbside parking spot that offers him a clear view of the front of the residence. “If I’m going to tail the person, I’ll park further away,” says Craig, who revels in the challenge of unobtrusively following a target in traffic. “When you’re tailing someone, your heart is just pounding a mile a minute.” Craig, the owner and sole investigator of his Victoria-based James Craig Investigations business, has been hired to watch the person who lives in the residence, noting their comings and goings and, possibly, any erratic behaviour. “Most people would never know they’re being observed or tailed,

unless they’re involved in criminal activity,” he says. “But there are a lot of people who are paranoid, especially people involved in infidelity because they’re cheating and lying.” Twenty per cent of Craig’s clients — most of them women — hire him to investigate suspected infidelities. “I take infidelity jobs very seriously,” he says. “It’s probably one of the most tragic things that can happen in a person’s life.” Some private eyes are former police officers, but Craig was a family support worker, investigating child abuse and neglect until he decided to leave the stressful job behind and become a PI. “Drop me off and let me pretend to be someone else and I’m in heaven,” he says. Craig whips his binoculars to his eyes for a closer look at a woman emerging from the target residence. She quickly walks down the street and disappears into the darkness. “Someone once described it as hours and hours of pure boredom mixed in with seconds of pure panic,” says Bill Hayman, private investigator and owner of Victoriabased Sterling Pacific Investigations. “There’s nothing glamorous about what I do,” he says. “It’s like any job that involves helping others.” His specialty is insurance cases, collecting information about people

Insurance companies have become more frugal over the years, but downsizing has its advantages, Hayman says. “When you’re managing people, it takes up all your time,” he says. “I find people fascinating. I’ve done it for 26 years because it’s interesting.” For Craig, there have been times when shadowing a target doesn’t provide enough information. He enjoys inventing plausible reasons for visiting a residence to find out what his target is doing. He has caught adulterers and cleared the names of some suspect spouses this way. “I’ve resolved a lot of problems for people over the years,” says Craig. “It feels good to find closure on something. “The clients hire me because they want to know the truth.”

West Shore Jr. B hockey gets a fresh start Charla Huber News staff

Now that the Westshore Stingers have been laid to rest, a new junior-B hockey team will rise from the ashes next season. Four West Shore businessmen have banded together to purchase the rights to a franchise in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League, effectively replacing the Stingers. Kory Gronnestad, Ken Carson, Dave Horner and Derrick Hamilton are in the process of buying the franchise rights and plan to keep the junior-B team on the West Shore. Operations for the Stingers have been suspended since early in 2011. “The team was for sale and we thought it made sense,” said Gronnestad, president of Scansa Construction, based in Langford. The club will be up and running for the 2012-13 season, but it don’t expect a stinging insect on player jerseys. “We’ll definitely be changing the name,” Gronnestad said adding they haven’t selected a name yet. “The name could be tied to a business. We will be getting suggestions from the community too.” The deal has been crafted through the Stingers’ owner and the league, said VIJHL president Greg Batters. “We are thrilled,” Batters said. “We are just crossing our ‘t’s and dotting the ‘i’s.” Starting a team from scratch is never easy, but the new owners will also have to deal the recent history of the team. The Stingers were put on a six-month leave from the league in December 2010 after a player revolt led to an inability to field enough players to take the ice. The team started as the Sooke Stingers in 2005 and then played three years out of Juan de Fuca and Bear Mountain arenas on the West Shore. During all six years the Stingers struggled to find enough ice time for training, and won very few games. Midway

Charla Huber/News staff

Kory Gronnestad and Ken Carson are two of four friends who bought the rights to operate a junior-B hockey team on the West Shore. The deal is still in the works, but the new team will not use the name Westshore Stingers. through the 2010-11 season the team had one win in 22 games. “We didn’t buy the Westshore Stingers, we bought the rights to operate a West Shore junior-B team,” Gronnestad said. “This is a brand new team ... a fresh start.” The owner group is going to start recruiting players now and will be looking into coaches now in their year-long development to get a viable team on the ice. They want to base the team out of the new Westhills arena at City Centre Park. “We wanted to come out of the gate strong,” Gronnestad said. “We will really start moving forward in the spring.” Training camp will start in

“Kids want to stay and play hockey in front of their family and friends. We want to keep the local kids here to play.” –Kory Gronnestad August of next year, like the rest of the league. The new owners are keen to bring young hockey players to the community and give minor hockey players the option to continue in junior-B. Even when

the Westshore Stingers were operating, many West Shore players were skating on other VIJHL teams such as the Victoria Cougars. “A lot of the best players in the league come from the West Shore whether they play for the Cougars or Peninsula Panthers,” Batters said. “If you run a good organization, you are going to attract good people and players. Quality at the top will filter down.” “Kids want to stay and play hockey in front of their family and friends,” Gronnestad said. “We want to keep the local kids here to play.” The four owners are all friends who live on the West Shore.

The four men played minor hockey as kids, some with the Juan de Fuca minor hockey association. They have been hockey coaches and their children have played or still play for JDF minor hockey. “This is not something we are trying to make money on,” said Carson, president of the Juan de Fuca minor hockey. “We are solid in the community. We are all successful and this (project) is community motivated.”

Cougars, Panthers in finals rematch

Emily Schmidt

Diver fifth at Pan Am juniors

Saanich diver Emily Schmidt finished fifth overall in the 10-metre platform, her best result at the Pan American Junior Diving championships in the outdoor elements of Medellin, Columbia, Sept. 8 to 11. Schmidt competed in the girls’ 12- and 13-year-old division and was the only Boardworks diver on Canada’s 24-member national junior diving team. She also managed ninth overall in the 1m springboard and eighth in the 3m, out of 12 divers in each final heat.

Two weeks into the season and the Victoria Cougars are the lone team to remain undefeated in the junior-B Island league. On Thursday, the Cougars (4-0) face the B.C. champion Peninsula Panthers (2-2) for the first time since the Cougars thumped the Panthers 12-2 in a Sept. 1 preseason game. Game time is 7:15 p.m. at Archie Browning arena. It’s also the first meaningful game between the two teams since the Panthers overcame a 3-0 series deficit to the Cougars in the Island league finals last season. The Panthers stormed back with four-straight wins for the Island trophy and then won the Cyclone Taylor Cup provincial championship. The combined rosters feature 21 players from the Island finals.
