Rotating a saucer-shaped red sandstone, Andreas Kunert finds the sweet spot where its edges are cradled naturally by the rocks below it. That stone, pulled out of a New Mexico river by Kunert, is now part of the largest public art project in the region, a 60-metre rock mural at Four Mile Hill along Island Highway. The artist’s signature swirls and waves of stacked stone stand up to four metres high in sections separated by massive pillars of basalt and granite. Stepping back from his work, Kunert crosses the “Certain rocks will street to see his progress. call out to me, and I Besides a few might not know why in rough chalk on the moment, but I pick outlines the wall, he them up and they fit doesn’t have to guide perfectly into a piece.” much how he places –Andreas Kunert the stones. “Working up Master stone builder close, I can’t see what I’m doing,” he says. “When I step back and look at it, I’m as amazed as everyone else to see how it comes together.” Kunert’s stonework skill is something he discovered 20 years ago and honed at a time when he was struggling through personal traumas and memory loss so extreme he couldn’t take stonework lessons as he would forget everything one day to the next. Doctors diagnosed him a savant, a rare condition where people with developmental disorders struggle in many aspects of their life but are brilliant in one area, which is how Kunert can explain his extraordinary ability for seeing shapes.

A woman accused of driving drunk and killing a motorcyclist on Canada Day has been released to an addictions treatment centre in Surrey as part of her bail conditions. Janarthan Mahenthiran, 47, died when a oncoming Lexus crossed the line and hit his Yamaha FZ-1 head-on on the Trans-Canada Highway in Langford.

She is also charged with breaching a previous bail condition, linked to an assault, of not possessing or consuming alcohol. Smith appeared in Western Communities Courthouse via video the morning of July 14 from a custody centre in Surrey. Wearing baggy grey prison garb, sat quietly during the proceedings. Her mother and sister sat in the audience, as did a row of motorcycle riders out to support Mahenthiran. Most of the victim’s relatives live in Toronto. Judge Lorna-Jeanne Harvey agreed with Crown and the defense to release Smith into the custody of VisionQuest Recovery Society in Surrey. Smith's conditions include not leaving the society’s Harte House unsupervised and attending all relevant treatment programs.

He often starts his day at 6 a.m. and often works on the piece into the evening.

Zettl regards her partner’s art as a sort of energy work, listening to the rocks and creating shapes that reflect the natural environment. “The shapes are created through his hand, but it’s really something that flows through him,” Zettl explains. “What he does, you couldn’t mimic it. Every piece is unique to the location and the energy there.” While Kunert provided the Town with conceptual sketches before starting the $150,000 casinofunded project, the design continues to evolve. “Every piece is a story, but I won’t reveal what the story is until after it’s finished.”

The body of a 67-year-old Saanich woman was discovered Monday morning on a walking trail near Prior Lake, part of Thetis Lake Regional Park. Maria Huyben was last seen June 27. Her car was found parked at Thetis Lake on the same day. Family members told police she was “distraught” when they last saw her. Saanich police are investigating the death, which is not being treated as suspicious. “She likely has been there for some time, likely since she went missing,” said Saanich police Sgt. Dean Jantzen. After her car was found, rescue crews scoured the surrounding regional park for 18 hours until the search was called off. An autopsy on the remains is scheduled for later this week.

Beloved community theatre shows its age Isabelle Reader remains busy, but operating on ancient equipment Charla Huber News staff

Isabelle Reader Theatre has been a community hub since 1977, but the busy facility is showing its age. During school hours the theatre is used by Spencer middle school, for its drama and dance programs. Outside of school hours the theatre is open for public rentals. Users include drama groups, theatre companies, dance studios, public meetings and church services. “For community usage it’s used in excess of 250 times a year at least,” said Roger Traviss, manager and technical director of the theatre for 22 years. During his tenure, Traviss is almost always able to accommodate drama and dance groups and has only double booked the theatre once. “The theatre is that busy. There is a pecking order and it’s first come first serve,” said Traviss who operates the lights and sound board for user groups. “If you want a rehearsal it can be bumped by a rental. I just accommodate them elsewhere (in the school).” Funded for construction by Langford taxpayers nearly 35 years ago and operated by the

Charla Huber/News staff

Isabelle Reader Theatre manager Roger Traviss sets up a stage light on the 34-year-old stage. He uses a computer from 1983 to operate the lights and technical equipment. Sooke School District, Travis said the beloved and well-used theatre is “falling apart.” One his main concerns is the technical equipment. The computer he uses for lights and sound dates back to 1983 and isn’t compatible with modern lights such as LED or non-stationary lighting. “I run the lights with an Apple 11e computer,” Traviss said. “The dimmers are analog and we can’t buy replacement parts (because they are so old). We need more

dimmers, we don’t have enough for a theatre this size.” Aesthetically the theatre also needs some upkeep, including its 302 seats. “Most of the seats were installed in 1977 and they have reached the end of their shelf life,” Travis said. About 15 years ago Traviss said the school board looked into upgrading the theatre and equipping it with a private entrance and washrooms apart from Spencer middle school. Due to a lack of funds the upgrade proj-

ect never got out of the planning stage. “If people want to use the theatre for a show, they can’t come set up in the morning (because the school is using it),” Traviss remarked. Another theatre has been proposed to be built in Colwood at the Royal Bay site. The proposal is to build a 1,000 seat theater as well as a smaller 100 seat informal theatre. If those theatres are built Traviss said he doesn’t think that will

affect the user group of the small Langford theatre. “People who use this theatre won’t rent the 1,000 seat theatre due to the cost and the size. The 100-seat theatre will be too small,” Travis said. Four Seasons Musical Theatre use the theatre throughout the year. It is the resident company and rents space in the theatre to store costumes. Terry Rowsell, FSMT president, says he needs to be with a SD 62 employee to enter the builiding. “I have a key to the theatre, but I don’t have a key to get into the school to get to the theatre,” Rowsell said explaining a separate entrance to the theatre would help his production group. “I don’t want to depend on school district staff to use the theatre.” Although Rowsell said there have been some challenges booking the stage time his group would like, he enjoys using the theatre. “For all its plus and minuses we have a good theatre, any bigger would be too big,” Rowsell said. “Langford has a perfectly good theatre and they just need some input and to put some money into it. Otherwise people will be going to Colwood.” Even with the theatre’s age showing, Traviss is proud of the theatre and says it holds an importance place in the community. “There have been lots of kids who have grown up on this stage,” Traviss said. “Everywhere in the theatre the acoustics are good. There really aren’t any bad seats in the house.”

RRU probes deeper into hooking campus to ‘green’ energy Sam Van Schie News staff

Looking at the drafty old heritage buildings at Royal Roads University, Bob Davidson sees pure potential. An alumnus of the school, his position as community energy solutions manager for FortisBC (formerly Terasen Gas) has him assessing the feasibility of heating the campus buildings with ground source renewable energy, such as geothermal. The age of the buildings make them an ideal target for the upgrades, particularly because the old boilers feed into hydraulic heating systems, which unlike electric baseboard heaters can easily be connected to any heat

source, including a renewable one. “Newer isn’t always better when we start to look at retrofitting,” Davidson said. The study will also consider options of biogas generation and tidal power. All are welcome options for Royal Roads. “I’d like to see the campus go off grid one day,” said Steve Grundy, Royal Roads vice president academic. In the past year a $1 million grant from governments and industry, including a one-third contribution from FortisBC, paid for retrofits that are expected to shrink the school’s carbon footprint by 20 per cent, shaving 325 tonnes off the 1,550 tonnes produced in 2009. Many of the changes are

minor: upgrading lighting, air sealing buildings, adding insulation. The most significant change is the addition of solar hot water heating in the two student residence buildings, Nixon and Millward. Forty-two solar panels line the roof of Nixon, collecting energy to heat water primarily for showers. The addition is expected to knock $4,000 off the school’s natural gas bill annually. “We want to get the buildings running as efficiently as possible, then start to look at ways to produce energy and close the gap,” Grundy said. “It’s a long way off, but it’s something to work towards in the long term.” news@goldstreamgazette.com

The Capital Regional District land use committee A voted to move Ender Ilkay’s controversial Marine Trail Holdings development to public hearing, the next stage of a process that has been contentious ever since it was first brought to the board. Committee members Mike Hicks, Langford Coun. Lanny Seaton, Sooke Mayor Janet Evans, and Colwood Mayor Dave Saunders voted in favour, while Metchosin Mayor John Ranns voted against the project and maintained his disdain for how the board has dealt with the issue. “Our primary concern is to determine the public will,” he said. “Nobody can honestly say the public wants this. The first of our tests as public officials has failed.” Ranns said the land use committee had been “seduced” by planning staff into thinking that the logistics of the project were more important than public opinion. He also denied Hick’s claim that the development was the only way to protect the 12,000 hectares of land from being

clear-cut, and suggested it could be turned into an amenity which would provide economic support for surrounding communities the way Pacific Rim National Park has been a tourist boom for Tofino and Ucluelet.

“Nobody can honestly say the public wants this. The first of our tests as public officials has failed.” –John Ranns Metchosin mayor Hicks said in a prepared speech that if rezoning was approved, the developer would not build within 150 metres of the trail and that this was not the beginning of sprawling development between Jordan River and Port Renfew. Ilkay’s Marine Trail Holdings project envisions building 257 cabins, six caretakers’ residences, a lodge and two recreation centres on his private land, which skirts the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail. He said the government wasn’t interested in buying the land after it went up for sale,

even after he repeatedly asked them. Hicks said Marine Trail Holdings would preserve the land through park dedication and put 86 per cent of it into a land covenant. “We can preserve and create an old-growth forest, buffering the circle route highway and marine trail ... or we can expose 100 per cent of these lands to the cycle of clear-cut logging,” he said. Several members of the entire CRD board, who do not have the right to vote on the motion, expressed worry and pushed the land use committee to reconsider the decision or refer it to the board for advice. The board also voted to receive a staff report from director and Saanich Coun. Vic Derman questioning the access to fire services for users of the isolated resort and the likelihood of vegetation being cut away to lower the fire hazard. The board also addressed Minister Ida Chong’s refusal to allow the entire CRD board to vote, and several directors said it was because the provincial government did not want to get involved in changing policy. No date has been set for a public hearing.

The Good Food Box program operates from James Bay to Port Renfrew and services more than 350 homes.

News staff

The Good Food Box operated on the West Shore for more than five years, but when Capital Families closed its doors, the non-profit program was left with nowhere to turn. Previously, clients could drop off money at the Capital Families office in Colwood and pick up a box of vegetables a week later. Each month about a dozen individuals and families continue to contact the Capital Region Good Food Society to join the food box program. That society is now searching for another organization to volunteer a West Shore location. “The amount of work is minimal,” said Sushil Saini, executive director Capital Region Good Food Society. “It takes about three to seven hours a month.” An organization willing to help would be required to take orders and deposit the money collected into a bank account. Once a month the previously assembled boxes would be dropped off at the West Shore location ready for pick up.

By pooling the money of all the families together, Saini is able to purchase the food in bulk and in turn passes the savings onto customers. The food provided in the boxes is either certified organic, transitioning to organic, non-certified organic or unsprayed produce. For more information email Saini at goodfoodbox@shaw.ca.

She is prohibited from driving a vehicle and consuming or possessing any drugs or alcohol, and must pay $5,000 bail. Smith’s attorney Robert Jones said his client’s family is devastated by the incident, but relieved she is going into addictions treatment. The family doubted they could properly monitor Smith on their own, Jones said. “The family wants to express their condolences to the victim. They are deeply upset at the situation,” Jones said outside the courthouse on Thursday. He said he’s only known his client for a short time and couldn’t comment on how long Smith has struggled with drug and alcohol addiction. “We believe she’s had some problems with some substance abuse and alcohol in past few months. It’s imperative in my

view and the family’s view that she get some counselling and treatment.” Her next court hearing in Colwood is Aug. 11 where Jones might enter a plea for his client, if Crown discloses its evidence by then. If she pleads not guilty, Smith can choose a trial by judge or judge and jury. Marc Pootmans, a motorcycle rider and friend of Mahenthiran, said he and other riders came to court to support the victim’s family and to speak out against weak sentencing for people who drink, drive and run over motorcyclists. “There’s been very little penalty for drunken driving while killing a motorcyclist,” he said. “As motorcyclists we want to be safe on the streets.” Pootmans said it’s unsettling not knowing how secure the treatment facility is or how easy it could be for Smith to break her bail conditions again, refer-

ring to her alleged breach of her assault charge. “She is allegedly guilty of having killed somebody,” Pootmans remarked, “but one of our friends is not allegedly dead.” Jim O’Rourke, executive director of the VisionQuest Recovery Society, said his recovery houses are no day at the beach — staff regularly treat and counsel prolific offenders, typically people with 30-plus convictions. VisionQuest has seven recovery houses on the Mainland and one specifically for women called Harte House. The house has video monitoring and three staff members for up to 15 to 18 women in early addiction recovery. It’s not a prison and doesn’t lock its doors at night, but O’Rourke said if those in treatment deviate from the recovery program or break bail conditions, they will quickly find themselves back behind bars. “This is not a get out of jail free card or a way to beat the system. We are not known to be gentle,” said O’Rourke, who earned kudos last year for helping CTV News uncover a methadone kickback scheme from a pharmacy. “If (the client) blinks the wrong way we’ll put her back in jail. We take our drugs seriously. “We are giving people a chance to get better and make reparations to society for what they’ve done. Or it's go to jail and throw away the key.”

OUR VIEW

Learning to love the long spring W

ill the real Greater Victoria summer ever arrive? Many locals are wondering that as they look for ways to enjoy summer vacation at home with the kids, long weekends off or outdoor evenings during the longest days of the year. Adverse weather isn’t impossible to avoid, but the bummer summer is putting a damper on planned events. Rains last weekend resulted in smaller than usual crowds for the Langford Day parade and events at City Centre Park and the farmers’ markets in Langford and Metchosin. Farther afield, the weather played havoc with the annual Moss Street Paint-In and the inaugural Busker’s Festival in Victoria. But by and large, the region is faring far better than say, Northern B.C., which is reeling from landslides and road washouts resulting from heavy rain. Visitors to the area haven’t been scared away by the weather. Tourism Victoria indicates the industry is doing quite fine this season, with visitor numbers up over last year — go downtown Victoria any day and you’ll get a sense of that. Weather is one of those subjects we all have in common, making it the most popular conversation starter. But we all have a choice as to how we look at it. We can focus on the negative and lament the scorching hot days of summers past, the dearth of outdoor swimming opportunities and the way-late state of the produce growing season. Or we can be thankful for what we do have, which is a pleasant climate that allows us to do a multitude of activities outdoors. With more than half of summer still to come, people can expect plenty of opportunities to enjoy the heat of the season. But nothing is stopping anyone from getting out there now and enjoying the many activities and events in full swing around the region — even if we are forced to bring an umbrella. What do you think?

But he said Stevens and other officials “stopped responding” as the project progressed. In his statement, Stevens described the code of conduct for Nisga’a officials and the complaint process people can use to hold them accountable for decisions. The president dismissed the “colourful commentary” of a few “key informants” who didn’t expect to be quoted. Quesnel says that despite the slow progress, he remains convinced the Nisga’a treaty is a positive step. Now investors have only one government to deal with, and the region has electricity, mining and gas development on the drawing board. And there are lessons to be learned by other aboriginal communities, such as tackling addiction problems before a treaty is signed, and bringing in outside experts to set up businesses. “Mitchell Stevens, when I spoke to him, was optimistic about the ability to reduce transfers, even eliminate them,” Quesnel said. “Without financial independence, I think political self-government is really an illusion. Ultimately, you’re still dependent.” tfletcher@blackpress.ca —Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

LETTERS West Shore transit needs improvement Re: Transit in Langford poor for seniors, Letters, July 13, 2011. I agree with Donna Mollin's letter “Transit in Langford poor for seniors.” Not only is it poor for seniors, it's poor for everyone including those with small children like myself. I find it very difficult to stand at the bus stop for more than an hour waiting for a bus, particularly when it's raining or windy. I also don't feel safe. Having only one car in my family, sometimes I am forced to find other ways of transportation. I wish that BC Transit would consider making better routes and more frequent routes on the West Shore. We are currently living in Langford in the Florence Lake area and are waiting for changes to happen. My husband is currently doing his masters degree at the University of Victoria and it takes him more than an hour and 15 minutes just to get there on the bus. For him, that means waking up an hour earlier and leaving the house at odd hours and not being able to say goodbye to his family. I would also like a study done as Mollin points out. Kathy Kegalj Langford

want to do and how British Columbians will benefit from these changes. It’s about being flexible and being prepared to make compromises in order to get as many people on side as possible. It’s also about being prepared to rethink such radical changes to the tax system if the people are clearly opposed to what government is proposing. When politicians circumvent the democratic process the end must not be allowed to justify the means. By voting “yes” to extinguish the HST we’ll be sending a message to present and future politicians of the absolute necessity of preserving and protecting democracy. We must never allow politicians to lose sight of the fact that they are our servants not our masters. Joe Boulter Langford

HST a tax break for businesses Re: The yes man, News, July 6, 2011. I do not agree with the HST for the following reasons. I think it was thought up by Ottawa and Ontario as a way to help companies who export to the U.S.A. stay price-competitive as the American dollar falls and

HST shows arrogance of provincial politicians Re: HST a benefit to families, Letters, July 13, 2011. The letter writer makes a feeble attempt at apologizing for the way the HST was introduced and in the end concluded that the end justified the means. She also refers to a 10 per cent HST. The HST is 12 per cent and a political “promise” was made to lower it to 10 per cent in July 2014. Considering politicians track record for keeping political promises, I don’t believe for a nanosecond that if the HST survives it’ll ever be 10 per cent. Most of us have family members who have put their lives on the line so as the rest of us can live in a free and democratic country. Democracy is more than just marking an X on a ballot once every four years. It’s about politicians respecting the people they were elected to serve. When government decides to make radical changes to our tax system democracy demands that politicians take the time to explain to the people what it is they

WALMART CORRECTION NOTICE On page 5 of the yer distributed on July 15 the picture of the Next6 Tablet (#30143088) was incorrect. The correct picture is as follows:

NEXT HOME GAME the Canadian dollar strengthens. Exporters had a 12 to 15 per cent advantage when exporting to the U.S. Because of their inefficiency, exporters need this spread to be competitive. The HST helps them keep that advantage. I guess that helps employment in companies that export, but is that fair to the rest of Canadians? I think not. I think it breeds inefficiency and greed. The one thing I have not heard is why do businesses need a 12 per cent tax break? That is what they are getting. I was in business most of my life and I learned that to survive you have to become efficient — you and your employees. One of the sales pitches for the HST is the business or supplier will help replace the increased tax by lower prices. That’s a joke — no one lowers their prices. I think it is kind of a sneaky tax, most people I think, thought just combining PST and GST no big deal, that’s not the case, is it? What has happened is that all of a sudden we have PST on labour costs for the goods we buy. That in itself is a considerable increase in the cost of the good or service. Jack Churchward Esquimalt

Leaving a dog cooking in police vehicle a crime Re: Young dog left overheating in West Shore RCMP vehicle, News, July 13, 2011. I am writing about the RCMP officer that was locked in the SUV by his human partner. I am appalled that it is not being treated as a criminal investigation. Just a few months after the law was adjusted concerning animal abuse and neglect. This is a serious issue and should be treated as such. It is a crime to lock a person against their will in a vehicle or any other place. And it is neglect to lock an animal in somewhere that may possibly cause them harm, such as heat stroke or dehydration. These dogs cannot speak for themselves, they count on their partners. They are not considered dogs as such or pets, they are considered officers. I am glad that the SPCA is launching its own investigation, however I have a hard time believing that if they find that it was a criminal offence that the crime will be prosecuted, though it certainly should be. Being an RCMP officer does not put him above the law does it? Alicia Petrie Langford

Why am I voting YES to get rid of the HST? The HST is a massive tax shift of billions of dollars away from big business and on to families already struggling to make ends meet. That’s why.

Capital Regional District Notice to Electors

Within the Water Distribution Local Service Area of the Capital Regional District Alternative Approval Process for CRD Bylaw No. 3782 – Authorizing the borrowing of up to $13,000,000 for the purpose of acquiring, designing and constructing water distribution facilities in the western communities of the Juan de Fuca Distribution Area. Notice Is Hereby Given that the Board of Directors of the Capital Regional District (“CRD”) proposes to adopt Bylaw No. 3782, “Juan de Fuca Water Distribution Facilities Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 1, 2011” for the Water Distribution Local Service Area comprised of the municipalities of Metchosin, Colwood, View Royal, Langford, Sooke, Highlands (that part within the RUCSPA set out in Bylaw No. 3373) and a portion of the Juan de Fuca Electoral Area (East Sooke Participating Area) of the Capital Regional District (“CRD”). The intent of Bylaw No. 3782 is to authorize the borrowing of up to $13,000,000 for the purpose of acquiring, designing and constructing water distribution facilities in the western communities of the Juan de Fuca Distribution Area. Based on the 2011 Five-year Capital Plan, $13,000,000 will be needed to fund the water distribution system infrastructure replacement and upgrading program. Approximately 45% of the capital plan will be funded from cash flows with the balance from borrowing through Bylaw 3782. Funds will only be borrowed based on actual cash requirements and approval of projects by the Juan de Fuca Distribution Commission. The debt servicing costs will be recovered through the retail water rate. It is anticipated that the incremental increase to an average household per annum will be approximately as follows: $10.64 (2012); $9.00 (2013); $8.45 (2014); and $6.00 (2015). The Water Distribution Local Service Area comprised of the municipalities of Metchosin, Colwood, View Royal, Langford, Sooke, Highlands (that part within the RUCSPA set out in Bylaw No. 3373) and a portion of the Juan de Fuca Electoral Area (East Sooke Participating Area) is the participating area for this service. Take Further Notice that the CRD may proceed with Bylaw No. 3782, unless at least 5,215 electors within the Water Distribution Local Service Area as defined above and located in the CRD indicate by signing the elector response form, that the Board must obtain the assent of the electors by way of referendum before proceeding to adopt Bylaw No. 3782. The CRD has estimated that the total number of electors in the Water Distribution Local Service Area is 52,144 and that 10% of that number is 5,215. The elector response form must be in the form as established by the CRD and forms are available from the CRD on request. The only persons entitled to sign elector response forms are electors of the area to which the alternative approval process opportunity applies. The alternative approval process opportunity applies to the Water Distribution Local Service Area comprised of the municipalities of Metchosin, Colwood, View Royal, Langford, Sooke, Highlands (that part within the RUCSPA set out in Bylaw No. 3373) and a portion of the Juan de Fuca Electoral Area (East Sooke Participating Area) located in the CRD. The deadline for delivering the original signed elector response forms to the CRD, in relation to Bylaw No. 3782, is 4:30 pm on Monday, August 29, 2011. Forms must be received by the deadline to be counted.

In order to continue the free annual event for the community, VFF negotiated some deals with film distributors, said Kay. “We also avoided a couple of really pricey titles.” The City of Victoria stepped up its annual grant.

Chinese buyers purchased $122 million worth of B.C. lumber in May, surpassing the value of lumber shipments to the United States for the first time ever. A record monthly volume of 746,000 cubic metres of lumber was shipped to China in May, according to figures released Sunday by the B.C. government. In the first five months of 2011, 2.8 million cubic metres of lumber have gone to China, more than double the same period last year based on value as well as volume. Jobs Minister Pat Bell credited the efforts of governments and industry to promote sales and wood construction over the past eight years. "In only five months, we've shipped the equivalent of over 76,000 containers of wood to China, the equivalent production of approximately 14 typical Interior sawmills over this period," Bell said. Adding up sales to Japan, Korea and other Asian destinations, the first five months of the year totalled $776 million, nearly half of B.C.'s total exports. Sales to the U.S. totalled $661 million during the same period. The prolonged housing slump in the U.S. has taken its toll on U.S. sales. In the first five months of 2010, U.S. sales accounted for $815 million, or 58 per cent of B.C.'s total sales. Total production from B.C. sawmills has climbed this year due to demand from Asia, recovering from the U.S. market collapse that began in 2007.

THE ARTS

Course enhances UVic’s film reputation Erin McCracken News staff

When Connor Gaston learned in science class that a person can foam green at the mouth and eventually die after ingesting hemlock, he turned the nugget of information into a gem of a story. “I was like, ‘whoa, that’s so cool,’” the fourthyear University of Victoria creative writing student said of the imagery. “That would be a really interesting thing to see on film.” It has led to the creation of a short film he wrote and helped shoot with 15 UVic students for a screenwriting class that recently wrapped. How Socrates Bought the Farm is a dark comedy about an introverted young man who plots to poison his boorish stepfather. “It’s interesting to let your script go into someone else’s hands,” said Gaston, who usually writes and shoots his own films. Working with such a large crew this time was “a good process,” he said. “It’s healthy to see your work taken by somebody else.” The intensive and innovative seven-week class that brought his story to life is helping boost the university’s name in the film world. That, despite the fact UVic doesn’t have an official film department – largely because there is no funding available. Film courses that are offered focus on film theory, while budding screenwriters get their fix through the creative writing department.

“I think people are surprised (with) the quality that is coming out of UVic,” said associate professor Maureen Bradley. In 2010 she taught the first student-driven Writing 320 class, which culminated in the web series, Freshman’s Wharf. In June that series won a prestigious Leo award,

which recognizes B.C. film and television. Gaston’s script was chosen out of 17 entries by his fellow classmates – they didn’t know it was his. The film was produced by instructor Daniel Hogg and directed by awardwinning UVic alumni Jeremy Lutter. Both worked on Freshman’s Wharf.

The value of the course is that it mimics a professional film set and involves students in every step of the filmmaking process, though there was an open call for the director and the actors’ roles. “Film is definitely a collaborative art form,” said Lutter. emccracken@vicnews.com

Sound meets video in annual Reel to Reel competition

Shelley Lipke News Staff

For the sixth year, the CineVic Reel to Reel Music Video Challenge is asking local musicians to team up with independent

film makers to produce short, dynamic clips. “We are creating an opportunity to expose filmmakers and artists to each other

and their audiences,” said CineVic executive director Bryan Skinner. It begins with local musicians submitting potential songs, from

which 10 finalists are chosen. The genres are unlimited, and a range of diversity – solo artists are encouraged to apply – is welcomed.

Ten video teams or individuals are assigned a song, then are free to unleash their creativity on the production. The

music videos must not be longer than five minutes. Animation, experimental and traditional narration

You’re invited to try state-of-the-art hearing aids FREE* for two weeks. Formerly known as Island Hearing, we have been proudly serving the hearing needs of the West Shore for over 20 years.

are several styles that have been used in previous years. “We present the 10 complete works at Victoria Events Centre. It’s a fun, good-energy event,” Skinner said. “We had 250 people at this event last year. People always want to see their work and their friends’ work, so it’s become a fun, community event. Most are created digitally through video or software or animation, but we do have a healthy amount of (traditional) 16 millimetre and Super 8 film submissions.” Cash prizes are up for grabs for the audience favourite and judges’ choice. Registration for filmmakers is on a first-come, first-served basis and costs $50, which includes three tickets to the event. Musicians submit songs for free. Deadline for submission of songs and registration for filmmakers is Aug. 9, with music selections announced on Aug. 16. Films must be completed by Sept. 23.

■ Walmart Langford grand re-opening celebration ■ Friday, July 15 ■ Langford Walmart

Langford Walmart celebrates its grand re-opening West Shore residents joined their Langford Walmart staff, entertainers and local dignitaries bright and early July 15 to celebrate the grand re-opening of the store – now with fresh produce and meat departments. Langford Coun. Winnie Sifert was on hand for the event, along with the DDT Drumline, Celtic Rythym Dancers and singer Kathy Summer, who all contributed a celebratory spirit to the morning. The store had remained open during the renovations, which also added an indoor garden centre, and shoppers were thrilled with the end result, says the store’s assistant manager Jean McGrath. “The customers were really excited.” Rounding out the celebrations were $2,000 donations to seven local community groups: Habitat for Humanity, Wild ARC, the Langford Fire Department Auxiliary, Bridges for Women, the Goldstream Food Bank, SportAssist and Sooke Meals on Wheels.

Employees and guests listen to speeches during the grand re-opening ceremonies.

Bid made for Westshore Stingers Stalled junior B hockey team sits out season Charla Huber News staff

The beleaguered Westshore Stingers junior B hockey team is sitting out this season, but could have a new owner next year. The Stingers dropped out of the season last year after a number of players were let go after a mutiny, leaving the team without enough bodies. The team is now nothing more than a name, without players or a coach. The Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League president Greg Batters said the Westshore Stingers may be changing ownership. John Butler-Smythe owned and operated the team for seven seasons in Sooke and on the West Shore, but a new buyer has shown interest in the team. A deposit has been placed for the

Stingers, Batters said, but at this point it hasn’t been sold. The potential buyer is remaining anonymous until if and when the deal closes. “Just because you have a junior B franchise doesn’t mean you’ll be successful,” Batters said. “Nobody is getting rich owning a junior B team.” Butler-Smythe hasn’t returned phone calls seeking comment and confirmation on the sale of the team. Each year players in the VIJHL pay between $800 to $1,200 to be on a team. The money covers the cost of ice time and transportation. Each player is guaranteed a minimum of two practices a week and 48 regular season games. “Junior B provides kids who want to play at a high level with the opportunity to move up in the game,” said Batters, who is also a Western Hockey League scout for the Kamploops Blazers. “It’s for the love of the game.” The VIJHL has received an application from a team in Nanaimo hoping to add its name to the league’s roster, but Batters said it’s still important to get a West Shore team

“We don’t want just a team in the West Shore, we want a good franchise.” –Greg Batters VIJHL president

The junior B team shut down after 14 games last season due to internal strife and a lack of players to take ice. back into the league. “We have had a lot of good players come out of the West Shore,” said Batters, noting that many West Shore players skate for teams throughout the VIJHL. “We don’t want just a team in the West Shore, we want a good franchise.”

Batters said a good franchise is created through good ownership, good leadership as well as everyone involved respecting the game and all the people involved in the game. The Stingers franchise has struggled for years to secure victories in Sooke and then on

the West Shore. The team’s last win was on Dec. 12, 2009 and prior to that was in December 2007 as the Sooke Stingers. It’s 2008-09 season had zero wins. The team complained of not being able to secure enough ice time at the busy West Shore Parks and Recreation ice sheets, and Butler-Smythe sought out ice time at Naden and elsewhere. A lack of practice and fitness led to an early spate of injuries last season. Frustration over losses led to a mutiny by a number of players who refused to take to the ice before a game in November 2010. After 14 games with zero wins and not enough players, the Stingers effectively shut down. Less than half the group of stranded Stingers returned to the midget level. Seventeen Stingers players went to other Jr. B teams via a dispersal draft on Dec. 10, 2010. sports@goldstreamgazette.com

Layritz star at Hollywood

Vision Matters Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

Saanich club wins Little League District 7 title, spot in provincials

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

Travis Paterson News staff

Make it five straight trips to the provincials for Layritz Little League’s 11- and 12-year-olds. Layritz defeated Beacon Hill 10-0 in the third and final game of the District 7 city championship at Fairfield’s Hollywood Park on Sunday. Layritz has a chance to improve on its semifinal loss at last year’s provincials. It should help that Layritz doesn’t need to go far – Hampton Little League is this year’s host club. In the final on Sunday, Layritz got five shutout innings from pitcher Jesse Simpson. At bat, Jake Wilhelm clubbed a dinger to help the Saanich team end the game an inning early. Layritz won the first game on Friday, a 10-0 clincher that ended in the fourth inning. Beacon Hill battled back, winning 4-2 in a game delayed by rain on Saturday. “We have a lot of work to do this week, on everything,” Layritz manager Dave Potter said. “It seems our hitting is either on or off. (The coaches) challenged the players to hit (Sunday) and they responded. There were no easy outs for Beacon Hill.” Layritz went 6-1 during the city championships, while Beacon Hill went 4-3. “It’s a tough loss. The kids aren’t happy but they can be happy they made it this far,” Beacon Hill manager Gus Niketas said. “(Beacon Hill) came back in a do-or-die game and I think we shocked (Layritz) on Saturday.” Pitchers Nick Downer and Chris Niketas combined to hold Layritz to just two runs in that game. Beacon Hill’s 9- and 10-year-old team is currently at the pro-

Victoria Eagles prepare to host mosquito AAA provincials The Victoria Eagles baseball team spent last weekend winning silver in Kelowna at the Valley of Champions tournament. The trip was good preparation for this weekend, when the Eagles host the mosquito boys AAA baseball provincials. In Kelowna, Victoria defeated Vernon and Kamloops but fell to Abbotsford. The Eagles defeated Rutland 9-5 in the semifinal, earning a rematch against Abbotsford in the final. Abbotsford squeaked out a 3-2 win for their second one run victory over Victoria. The Eagles are 9- and 10-year-olds –

nine from the Carnarvon association and three from Triangle. The team hosts the mosquito AAA provincials beginning July 23 and 24 at Allenby Park. Game times are 6 p.m. and 4 p.m., respectively.

beat Prince George 8-7 in the last inning of the Friday night opener. On Saturday, the Tigers used smart base running and sacrifice fly balls to beat Maple Ridge 9-2 on just four hits. That put the Tigers into the semifinal where they dispatched Maple Ridge 9-6. Victoria ace Harrison Hurford was masterful in the final against the Burnaby Braves. Hurford threw a one-run, 60-pitch complete game and the Tigers clinched a mercy-win, 12-1 in five innings for the championship. sports@vicnews.com

Age Related Macular Degeneration (ARMT) is the leading cause of vision loss among people over the age of fifty. The macula is the part of the eye that provides central vision. There are two types of age-related macular degeneration, “wet” and “dry”. The most common is the “dry” type, where the gradual thinning of the macula causes a slow loss of central vision. This affects key activities such as reading, driving and recognizing faces. Peripheral vision is usually not affected. Currently, there is no treatment for “dry” ARMD, although research suggests that certain vitamins, minerals and diet may play a role in prevention. A growing body of research has linked lutein, an antioxidant found in green, leafy vegetables, to the prevention of ARMD. Diet has been examined to determine if nutrients can slow the aging process in the eye. Vitamins A and E, selenium and zinc are among the nutrients being studied. Other factors, such as smoking, alcohol intake, cumulative sun exposure and genetics have been linked to the occurrence of ARMD. “Wet”: age-related macular degeneration is less common, but may cause sudden, severe vision loss. This form of ARMD is caused by the rapid growth of abnormal blood vessels under the macula. These abnormal vessels leak fluid resulting in scarring and the subsequent loss of visual acuity. The key to treatment of “wet” ARMD is to stop the leakage of the abnormal blood vessels and thereby stop the scarring of the affected tissue. Early detection and prompt treatment is vital in limiting damage. Currently, laser therapy is used to treat this condition by destroying some of the leaking vessels. This treatment can only be used in a minority of cases. Regular eye examinations allow optometrists to look for signs of ARMD as well as other eye diseases such as glaucoma and cataracts. Optometrists can also help patients with significant vision loss by prescribing magnifying devices or low vision aids. You owe it to yourself and others to have regular eye examinations.

Hesjedal a horse for Garmin-Cervelo team Team Garmin-Cervelo and the Tour de France cyclists enjoyed a well-deserved rest on Monday after a compelling week of racing through the mountains of France. Much of the fruit of Ryder Hesjedal’s labour on Sunday, however, was in stage-winner Mark Cavendish’s (U.K.) basket. The latter cyclist of opposing team HTC-Highroad showed his dominance as the world’s top sprinter in a straightaway by shooting out of the peloton at the end of stage 15. Hesjedal’s Garmin-Cervelo teammate Tyler Farrar (U.S.) crossed the finish line just a half-metre back of Cavendish after Hesjedal and teammates laboured through the demanding hills of the 192.5-kilometres long stretch from Limoux to Montpellier. Hesjedal ended the day 127th though he was just 95 seconds back of Farrar, having pulled up on the final ascent. Victoria’s man on the tour entered Tuesday’s stage 16 at a steady 32nd overall, 25 minutes and 18 seconds back of yellow jersey holder Thomas Voeckler (France). Garmin-Cervelo have worked hard to keep 32-year-old tour rookie Tom Danielson (U.S.) in ninth position overall, five minutes and 26 seconds back. Wednesday’s stage 17 is 179kms from Gap to Pinerolo with an incredible descent that could favour Garmin-Cervelo sprinter Thor Hushovd’s chances at win-

ning the stage.

Soccer Results from the B.C. Soccer Youth Provincial B Cup championships in Penticton, July 7-10

The Victoria Grizzlies will play more Friday and Saturday night games this year as the B.C. Hockey League has tweaked the 2011-12 schedule to focus on those days. Considered “prime nights” by the league, 67 per cent of the 480 games will fall on Friday and Saturday, with the total number jumping to 83 per cent when Sunday is included. It means just 17 per cent of games will take place midweek. The Grizzlies start the season with a home-and-home against the Cowichan Captitals at Bear Mountain Arena at 7:15 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 23, and in Cowichan at 7:30 p.m. the following night. Victoria’s regular season ends at home against Powell River on March 10. The B.C. Hockey League is celebrating its 50th season this year.

a whole lot Smarter

Starting thiS Summer, BC hydro will Be upgrading homeS and BuSineSSeS with new Smart meterS. moving to a more effiCient, modernized grid will Create immediate SavingS for our CuStomerS. you may Be wondering... What is a smart meter? The smart metering program will modernize our electricity system by replacing old electro-mechanical meters with new digital meters. A smart meter is a digital meter that records the amount of power you use. It helps improve the efficiency of the power grid, means less wasted electricity and gets BC ready for future power needs. What are the benefits for me as a customer? You will be able to see your power use in near real time and it will be faster and easier to open and close your account if you move. What happens if the power goes out? With smart meters in place, BC Hydro can pinpoint power outages and restore power faster. How does it make my community safer? The new meters reduce public and worker exposure to theft-related safety hazards, such as house fires, live wires and premature transformer failures. How will my meter be read? There will be remote, two way communication between your meter and BC Hydro. Smart meter signals are short, infrequent and will last less than one minute per day. Is the signal safe? Yes. The signals are low level frequency, meeting and exceeding Health Canada safety standards. Is my information secure? Similar to online banking systems, the data from the meters is secure and your privacy is protected.

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

Esquimalt gets first look at $41m twin-tower project Erin McCracken News staff

If Sherri Robinson’s greatgreat-grandfather could see the $41-million development of two 12-storey condominiums proposed for the site of their former inn, she said he would be pleased. “He was pretty progressive,” the Esquimalt archivist said of James Bland and his wife Elizabeth, who built the Halfway House in 1860 where the Esquimalt Inn now sits in the 800-block of Esquimalt Rd. Esquimalt council laid its eyes for the first time on a mixed-use development proposal at a recent committeeof-the-whole meeting. It includes an 88-unit residential tower with 1,000 square metres of ground-floor commercial space, three underground parking levels, four townhouses and separate live-work units connected to the tower by two overhead walkways. Plans for a second complex include an 80-unit residential tower with 11 attached townhouses and two underground parking levels. The development would replace a pub, liquor store and bottle depot currently in operation. The site’s historically rich past is not lost on Vancouver-based property owners, the Cambie Malone’s Corp., which is spearheading the initiative. “That’s something that needs to be told in some way on that site,” said project consultant Brandon Smith. Calling the development “precedent setting,” Smith told council it would be a “signature piece” for the township.

At two public consultations in May, some residents preferred the project be downsized from 12 to eight storeys. In that case a third eight-storey tower would be needed to make up for the reduced height and lost revenue, said Smith. “The reality is these buildings simply don’t exist,” he said.

“The cost is recouped, but it’s much better when you build a taller building.” Construction dates have not been fixed. Council will consider rezoning the two lots in mid-August. A public hearing will be held in September, before the project is considered for approval.
