“I can probably do it with my eyes closed.” - Michel Burnett

Michel Burnett is ready to toss juggle his way to world acclaim during the World Juggling Federation competition in July. Christine van Reeuwyk/News staff

Teen’s future up in the air Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

Seven white beanbag balls start as a pyramid in his hands. As he sits down to chat, each of the white balls makes the trip easily from hand to hand, tapped on a foot here and there, then dropped intentionally to the pavement. That’s before Michel Burnett has even offered to show off his juggling skills. “I can probably do it with my eyes closed,” the 15-year-old says, then proves it with a little threeball pattern. In a self-taught system of trial and error, plus creating his own take on traditional tricks, the North Saanich teen created a routine with clubs, rings and beanbag balls that will go on display internationally this summer. The Grade 9 Stelly’s student will compete in

Thieves take time in Willingdon area theft More than $100,000 worth of copper, truck, trailer taken

The Sidney North Saanich RCMP is looking for help from the public after more than $100,000 worth of copper and vehicles were stolen off Willingdon Road last week. Sometime overnight on Sunday, June 26 a business property in the 8000 block of Willingdon was broken in to. “The property is large and protected by a fence and gate, used to store houses that are in the midst of being moved, and large pieces of construction equipment,” said media liaison Cpl.

OUR VIEW

Fireworks fun without booze

We think the message has been made loud and clear: If you want to take in the annual display of Canada Day fireworks in Victoria’s Inner Harbour you better plan on being sober. Over the past few years, the patriotic party has carried the unwanted baggage of being seen as an excuse by some for public drunkenness. It’s the kind of behaviour that can become enshrined in an annual event if left unchecked. Canada Day is about celebrating a lot of things, including the exceptional level of freedom we enjoy. However, we think the City of Victoria and local police departments are right in reminding people that, despite what some might think, the usual laws still apply. Victoria is a fun place to go out for a night and there are areas of downtown where police should take a progressive approach to partyers whose revelry spills out into the street. But the boozy behaviour of past Canada Days has too often created an edgy atmosphere unsuitable for families. The Inner Harbour is a public space that belongs to everyone and July 1 is a special day for all Canadians. We support the efforts to ensure the few don’t ruin a good time for the many.

Good enough, but getting better There’s a philosophy based on being “good enough.” The simple explanation is you find a way to make something work and allow it to evolve over time rather than grasp for unreachable perfection from the start. In many ways our own country has followed this approach, especially when compared to the grandiose planning and pomp that led to the founding of our neighbours to the south. The “good enough” concept was originally used to describe the success of technology companies like Google but is now popular as a general approach to life. For some people, stressed out by the rat race, the philosophy allows them a personal way to find their footing. It’s worked well for Canada, with our current attempts at Senate reform and the ongoing tinkering with our constitution (Quebec, are you finally onboard?). And that’s good enough for us.

U.S. assisted suicide cases poor examples Re: Death’s shades of grey (Comment, June 24)

Doctor’s experience shows other angle to wishes of death I am a doctor in Oregon where physicianassisted suicide is legal. In my practice, I have discussed assisted suicide with more than a dozen patients. One of the first was with a man in a wheelchair with a progressive form of multiple sclerosis. He told me that if it got too much worse, he might want to “just end it.” I answered that he seemed to be asking for assistance with his suicide. He nodded affirmatively. I told him that I could readily understand his fear and his frustration and even his belief that assisted suicide might be a good path for him. At the same time, I told him that should he become sicker or weaker, I would work to give him the best care and support available. I told him that no matter how debilitated he might become, that, at least to me, his life was and would always be, inherently valuable. As such, I would not recommend, nor could I participate in his assisted-suicide. He said: “Thank you.” When a person says, “I want to die”; it may simply mean, “I feel useless.” When a person says, “I don’t want to be a burden”; it may really be a question, “Am I a burden?” When someone says,

“I might as well be dead”; they may really be saying, “No one cares about me.” In essence, we are not islands. How we respond can either reflect the inherent worth of the person requesting assistance with suicide or cause the person even deeper desperation. Patients can even feel pressured to proceed. As such, in Oregon legal assisted suicide has undermined trust in the motives of both physicians and family. Under our law, there is no assurance that the deaths are voluntary. Don’t make our mistake. Dr. William L. Toffler Portland, Ore.

Doctor-assisted suicide not legal after Montana court case First, Slavin’s article implies that doctorassisted suicide is legal in Montana, which is not the case. In 2009, the Montana Supreme Court issued an opinion giving doctors who caused or assisted a suicide a potential defense to a homicide conviction. That opinion did not legalize assisted suicide by giving doctors or anyone else immunity from criminal and civil liability for assisting a suicide, which is the case in Oregon and Washington where assisted suicide is legal. In our last legislative session, a bill that would have legalized assisted suicide was defeated in our legislature. During hearings

Readers respond: Profit sharing the answer to government overspending Re: Lessons from history apply to HST today (Letters, www.peninsulanewsreview.com). The problem with Louis XIV was, possibly, he plucked one too many feathers from the goose. There seems to be a disconnect going on between the amount of money spent and taxes. Everyone is in favour of spending, however they don’t want to pay higher taxes. Unfortunately the two go together. Higher spending equals higher taxes. Higher wages means more taxes. More military means more taxes. More health care means more taxes. More police officers means more taxes. Higher wages for postal employees equals a higher price of stamps. In today’s world of globalization, only one type of

on that bill, the sponsor, Senator Anders Blewett, conceded that assisted suicide is not legal in Montana. He said under the current law, there’s nothing to protect the doctor from prosecution. Second, in Oregon, legalization has allowed the state-run health plan to steer patients to suicide. The most well-known cases involve Barbara Wagner and Randy Stroup. Each wanted treatment. The plan offered them assisted suicide instead. They were steered to suicide. Moreover, it was the Oregon Health Plan, a government entity, doing the steering. State-sanctioned suicide empowers the government, not the individual. See Susan Donaldson James Death, Drugs Cause Uproar in Oregon on ABC News, and Letter noting assisted suicide raises questions. Bradley D. Williams co-ordinator, Montanans Against Assisted Suicide and For Living with Dignity

Assisted suicide is a recipe for elder abuse I am an attorney in Washington State. Kyle Slavin’s claim that our assisted suicide law assures patient choice is incorrect. Gaps in our law instead render our law a recipe for elder abuse. The most obvious gap in our law is a

the HST pay scale makes sense and that is profit sharing. Profit sharing could be applied to everything. Small businesses, and government as well. How it would work would be a certain percentage of the government’s income is devoted to each category of spending. Then all the the employees have to get a percentage of the percentage. If this were applied to pensions, then the seniors would start complaining about governments that overspend. It would help society in general. Also, politicians who like to spend and spend to get elected would not be popular. Judy Whytock Victoria

lack of witnesses at the death. Without witnesses, an opportunity is created for an heir to administer the lethal dose to the patient without his consent. Without witnesses, no one would know what really happened except for the perpetrator. ‘Dad’ would be dead and unable to give his side of the story. Oregon’s law has this same gap. In February, I testified before the Montana Senate Judiciary Committee regarding a proposed bill to legalize assisted suicide, which failed. At the time of the vote, Senator Jeff Essmann made this observation: “All the protections (in Oregon’s law) end after the prescription is written. (The proponents) admitted that the provisions in the Oregon law would permit one person to be alone in that room with the patient. And in that situation, there is no guarantee that that medication is self-administered. “So frankly, any of the studies that come out of the state of Oregon’s experience are invalid because no one who administers that drug against/to that patient is going to be turning themselves in for the commission of a homicide.” Assisted suicide is a recipe for elder abuse. It empowers other people to kill you and get away with it. Don’t make Washington and Oregon’s mistake. Margaret Dore Seattle, Wash.

Some businesses see – and keep – HST benefits Last year I asked a friend who runs a small business what effect the HST had on his company. He gleefully told me that it increased his bottom line by about $5,000. When I asked if he planned to pass some of these savings on to his customers, he looked at me like I was deranged. No, he planned to keep the profit for himself. The recent Dinning report (Independent Panel on the

HST) assumes that “… 90 per cent of business’ HST rebates are passed on to the consumer.” This appears to be wishful thinking. They also state “17 per cent of your spending has an extra seven per cent sales tax” whereas the other 83 per cent is unchanged. How is this good? I’ll be voting to get rid of the HST.

Spunky and tough, 11-year-old Molly acted more like a two-year-old, said Megan Johnston. Johnston was looking after Molly last Friday evening when she was attacked by a large dog in Centennial Park. Molly, a Lakeland Terrier, was on a leash with Johnston and her three other dogs. Johnston stopped on one of the trails to chat with a middleaged couple with a large lab-collie cross. “Molly went after the other dog’s ball and it just grabbed her by the top of the neck and started to shake her,” said Johnston. “I put my hand down the dog’s mouth and pried its teeth open and wrapped her in my sweater.” Johnston, who has been working with dogs professionally for more than 15 years said she felt it was not the dog’s first bite. “They usually show aggression first or give a warning bite — this was a death bite — I have no proof, just my opinion, but it gave no warning no growl, nothing. It happened so fast.” Johnston pried Molly out of the mouth of the larger dog and was quickly moved to action. “When I saw all the blood I knew I had to get her to the vet, now.” She tried to stop the bleeding by wrapping Molly in her sweater and raced to the nearby Central Saanich Animal Hospital. “Molly suffered for three days, which included a five hour operation, a secondary complication of pneumonia, and an emergency transfer to a Vancouver critical care vet hospital,” said her owner Marjorie Law. “Finally, her heart gave out.” Law and her husband Andy are seeking the owner of the dog that attacked Molly. “This is not a plea for sympathy. We just feel it’s our responsibility to try and find the dog because it could well

Johnston said the couple shouted at their unleashed dog, but did not try to assist her in rescuing Molly. “I wish I could have got some information from them but I was just worried about Molly. It was like a hit and run killing somebody. Just a horrible situation.” Johnston said the couple were between the ages of 34 and 45 and the dog was a black lab-collie cross with a long coat and white on its feet.

A door-to-door salad maker prompted a couple of calls to police over the last two weeks. A man carrying a cooler is knocking on people’s doors saying he’s selling salad, then suggests he’ll even come in and make the salad. In both incidents reported to Central Saanich Police residents said no, and the man left. Central Saanich Police remind people not to do business with those who come to the door, and not to invite them inside. In Central Saanich there is a bylaw banning door-to-door sales. “Certainly give us a call and we’ll explain the bylaw to him,” said media liaison Cpl. Janis Jean.

Peninsula pedal pusher Competitive by nature, Stelly’s grad focusses on road cycling Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

Christine van Reeuwyk/News staff

Road cyclist Annie Ewart has her heart set on cycling and her mind focussed on goals — including the Olympic Games.

Annie Ewart will don the spandex for Cycling BC at Road Nationals in Burlington, Ontario. Five years ago basketball was a top priority, cycling a new hobby. “Basketball was definitely the first choice that first year (cycling),” she said. Four years ago her priorities shifted — significantly. In 2007 she finished second in the junior competition of BC Provincial Road Championships. In 2008 she topped the podium and also added a first in the provincial time trial championships. That year she earned four medals at the BC Summer Games in cycling and was named Cyclist of the Year – Road, U17 Female. In

2009 she set a new cadet course record in the Sidney Velo Time Trial, represented BC at Junior nationals and competed in the Canada Summer Games. She capped the year as an Olympic torch bearer. “I have so much fun doing it. Training’s fun and I’m competitive,” the Brentwood Bay teen said. The 17-year-old graduated early from Stelly’s secondary in a bit of a self-accelerated program designed around her training schedule. “The teachers there are super supportive,” she said. A fully loaded first semester made way for a season full of physical, and mental workouts during the longer days of the year. “We can all do similar training, but I’ve always been told it’s 10 per cent training, 90 per cent head,” Ewart said. She races with Trek Red Truck Racing, the team she competed for in the recent Victoria International Cycling Festival. She’s also a member of the BC Cycling

Favourite rides

■ Annie Ewart loves to cycle the scenic Dallas Road route, but has another favourite closer to home. “I do a lot of Lands End. You’ve got some climbing and rolling (and) it’s quiet,” she said.

Team with a goal to win nationals in road and time trials and to represent Canada at the World Championships in Copenhagen. “Ultimately the ideal goal would be gold, but podium would be good as well,” she said with a smile. Canada’s top athletes in all five cycling sports will compete for the coveted Maple Leaf jersey at the 2011 Road Nationals in Burlington, Ontario wrapping up July 3. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com TELUS AUTHORIZED DEALERS VANCOUVER ISLAND Victoria The Bay Centre

It only makes sense that Dan Politanoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music has come full circle. His earliest memory of music was being given a Meet the Beatles! cassette at age 6. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the ones that made me first want to start playing,â&#x20AC;? he says. At 9, he received his first guitar (and Beatles chord book) as a Christmas gift and learned how to play. Now 31, Politano plays in a â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s cover band, performing the music that made his idols household names that decade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We play all the good rock hits from the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s,â&#x20AC;? he says of Victoria-based Younger Than Yesterday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Beatles, and (Rolling) Stones, and The Monkees, and The Kinks,

Dan recalls. Younger Than Yesterday has played dozens of shows in the past three years. The band played its 100th gig in May. Founding member Dan says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a very quick trip from the days when he was scouring the Internet looking for fellow musi-

The five-member band, which also includes Dean Gibbs, Russ Allert and Josh

solving the dilemma for those undecided on the best option. Various financial institutions and mortgage brokers now offer a blended solution, with half the mortgage amount locked in at the low fixed rate, and the other half at the lower variable rate. As of early June for example, Coast Capital Credit Union offered a five-year fixed mortgage at 3.65 per cent, a variable mortgage at 2.1 per cent, and a blended mortgage rate of 2.85 per cent. If you prefer the lower rate of the variable solution, but fear the considerable risk of rate increases, consider the blended rate option. With that choice, you get the best of both alternatives, with only half the risk of solely a variable solution. Regardless of the eventual choice of mortgage type, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very clear that with rising rates looming, a future mortgage holder will be well-advised to make as many extra, or higher regular payments as possible, in order to pay off the loan as quickly as possible. In so doing, he will often save tens of thousands of dollars in interest costs, compared to the costs incurred with a 25 or 30 year amortization. A retired corporate executive, enjoying post-retirement as a financial consultant, Peter Dolezal is the author of three books. His most recent, The Smart Canadian Wealth-Builder, is now available at Tannerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Books, and in other bookstores.
