Police seek clues behind death at Goldstream View Royal resident and HST opponent Brad Slade is populating Capital Region roadways with ‘yes to extinguishing the HST’ signs.

Edward Hill Charla Huber News staff

West Shore RCMP are investigating the suspicious death of a Sooke woman at Goldstream park campgrounds Saturday morning. The woman is identified as 34-year-old Amanda Lee Langford. An autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday in Vancouver. Police say Langford was with a group of people occupying two campsites at the Goldstream campgrounds, located on the west side of the Trans-Canada Highway. She was reported missing 10 a.m. on July 2 and other campers found her body in the river at 1:10 p.m., not far from her campsite. “The cause of death is unknown and we are investigating it seriously,” RCMP Staff Sgt. Danny Willis said on Sunday. “We don’t know if foul play was involved.” Investigators are interviewing friends she was camping with and other people at nearby campsites, trying to piece together Langford’s final days and hours. It’s unclear how many people were in Langford’s group. Her Facebook page shows three cellphone photos uploaded July 1 at 11:43 p.m., all featuring two young men sitting near a tent and identified as being “French.” Her sparse campsite remained ringed with crime scene tape Monday. A dome tent with clothing strewn about inside, three camping chairs and personal effects, including three pairs of glasses on the picnic table mark the remains of a night gone horribly wrong.

View Royal harmonized sales tax opponent takes fight to region’s roadways Edward Hill News staff

Finding a patch of soft earth, Brad Slade spikes his blue anti-harmonized sales tax sign into the side of the road. Looking at its message, he never thought he’d be a “yes” man. Slade was a key anti-HST organizer in Greater Victoria during last year’s provincewide campaign that triggered the HST referendum, and he is still working at keeping the controversial tax in the public eye. In past weeks, the View

Royal resident has been dotting the highways and byways of the Capital Region with “yes to extinguishing the HST” signs, a project he started after seeing pro-HST ads on TV during the Stanley Cup playoffs. Getting permission from the Ministry of Transportation to line the Trans-Canada and Pat Bay highways with signs was no easy task. Slade discovered rules for referendum messaging was an unknown quantity and MOT managers were left scratching their heads. Slade, 47, kept pressing the transportation minister’s

office for an answer. “Eventually they told me they’d treat it like election signage,” he said. “Needless to say I was jumping for joy.” The sign request has set precedent for the rest of the province. After mulling the issues, Victoria, View Royal, Metchosin, Sooke, Esquimalt and Saanich also gave the OK for Slade to post referendum signs on municipal roadways. A few municipalities have said “no,” but Slade figures the majority of people driving or busing around the Capital Region will get the Fight HST message. He’s personally

spiked hundreds of signs, and said he’s received a lot more honks of support than middle fingers of derision. “This is such a passionate issue across the province and there is a lot of money being spent by one side,” he said. “But no one bothered to ask MOT about putting up signs. “I’m just thrilled to encourage people to exercise their democratic rights with the referendum. We want to make sure people vote one way or the other.” PLEASE SEE: Some winners, Page A6

View Royal moves on new fire hall project Sam Van Schie News staff

View Royal has started looking for the architect to design its future fire hall building. The request for proposals closes July 22. By the end of September council should have evaluated and picked its favourite to move into the public approval process, when the first conceptual designs for the new building will be unveiled. Fire Chief Paul Hurst said he’s looking for more than just a place to park fire trucks. He wants a building that will withstand earthquakes or floods and serve as the post-disaster emergency services building where residents can come for aid. That could never happen in the current 54-year-old fire hall, which can barely stand up to a snow storm. “Even a moderate snow fall will cause structural damage to this building. The roof can’t hold it,” said Hurst, who has worked in the existing building for nearly 28 years. “It will be really great to finally get into somewhere new.” The Town’s request is for construction to begin in spring 2012, if the public approval process is successful. It is asking for a $5.5 million total project cost for a two-storey administrative building next to a drive through garage with four bays, to park eight response vehicles facing out each end. It’s expected this will take 17,000 square feet in total floor space, and

there will also be outdoor training grounds. The current fire hall, with a total floor space of 5,000 square feet on a 0.4 acre property, parks five vehicles in back-in bays and extra trucks are stored outside. There’s nowhere for training and not enough parking for firefighters on shift. The cramped administrative area is stacked on top of the garage, making it drafty, noisy and somewhat of a safety risk. The Town officially took possession of its new land for the hall this month and has started surveying and clearing it of tall grass and brush. The 2.4 acre property, which View Royal bought for $2.5 million, is across from Fort Victoria on Island Highway. A fence will soon be erected around the site to keep out homeless people who regularly sleep there, as three vacated homes, some sheds and old building foundations are torn out. Many natural features on the land, such as trees and rock outcrops, will be retained. “It’s a unique piece of property, and it would be great to see a creative architect who will work with the lay of the land,” Hurst said. View Royal fire rescue is a composite station with 30 volunteer and six career firefighters responding to 750 callouts per year, including automatic aid calls with Colwood. The fire chief intends to post regular updates on the project at www.viewroyalfire.com, under “New Fire Hall.”

Electrocuted eagle sparks grassfire in Metchosin Charla Huber News staff

An unfortunate bald eagle hit a powerline, burst into flames and sparked a grassfire in Metchosin last week. Shortly after 4 p.m. on June 29 above Happy Valley and Rocky Point roads, an eagle’s wingspan likely crossed two powerlines, said Metchosin firefighter Capt. Eric Meredith. Residents living across the street heard an explosion and simultaneously their power went out. Then they saw smoke. Meredith was at the Metchosin

fire hall by himself and could also smell smoke. He jumped in an engine, raced to the intersection and doused the grassfire. “What I noticed was a charred eagle,” Meredith said. “As soon as the cross-span hit both power lines, the eagle exploded on impact.” The grass fire measured 20 by 30 feet. Eagles are commonly seen flying around that intersection. Birds sparking fires is unusual, Meredith said. About seven years ago witnesses claimed a bird flew into powerlines and lit a grass fire at Pedder Bay, but the body

wasn’t recovered. This is the first proven case he’s seen in Metchosin. It's rare for birds to start fires after bursting into flames, but birds with large wingspans occasionally do touch two powerlines and electrocute themselves, said Christina Carrieres, a wildlife rehabilitator at Wild Animal Rescue Centre in Metchosin. “This happens once in a while, but not often,” Carrieres said. In last known incident several months ago, a bald eagle hit powerlines at the Quadra Street and McKenzie Avenue intersection. Birds which are known to have

“As soon as the cross-span hit both power lines, the eagle exploded on impact.” –Capt. Eric Meredith Metchosin Volunteer Fire Department

electrocuted themselves on powerlines are reported the the Ministry of Environment and that is passed on to BC Hydro. If birds repeatedly hit lines in the same

locations, BC Hydro may put up bird deflectors –- which can be coils of wire that increase the apparent diametre of the cable or shiny hanging disks. Deflectors can save birds and reduce subsequent power outages. A number of the coils were installed on lines at the SaanichView Royal border in 2007 near Craigflower bridge after two swans electrocuted themselves. “The deflectors are really helpful,” Carrieres said. “They are shiny and catch the sun so the birds know there is something there.” reporter@goldstreamgazette.com

River death deemed suspicious Continued from Page A1

Langford’s body was found about 100 metres from the campsite, down a nearby trail that leads to the shallow, rocky river. Two outhouses are near the trailhead and portions of the trail are steep and dry. Police said she was found near a rope swing but crime scene tape is blocking access to that area of the river. The Times Colonist reported two men found her clothed only

in a T-shirt, with nothing wastedown. RCMP Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz said the death is being thoroughly investigated, but as of Monday no one was in custody and no one has been deemed a person of interest in her death. “Anytime we have a death with no specific cause it is suspicious until proven otherwise,” Rochlitz noted. West Shore RCMP are working with B.C. Coroners Service, RCMP Vancouver Island major crime unit, Victoria police dog

section, and Victoria RCMP forensic identification section. An RCMP dive team retrieved her body from the river. West Shore RCMP are asking anyone who was at the Goldstream campground on July 1 or 2 and who saw anything unusual to call 250-474-2264 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222TIPS. “Sometimes, the public does not realize that what they heard or saw is helpful and relevant to our investigation,” Rochlitz said. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Volunteers take aim at invasive reed grass Edward Hill News staff

A single stalk of reed canary grass pokes through a bed of mulch — a defiant gesture from an aggressive invasive plant. “One got through,” says Judy Nault, standing over a wide oval of wood chips on the Havenwood property Colwood. “We’ll have to get on that.” Nault is one of about three volunteers helping eradicate coarse, fast growing reed grass near Bee Creek, a short waterway restored as a fish-bearing stream about four years ago in a $150,000 project. The canary grass grows fast and tall, Nault says, smothering out native species and degrading the ecosystem that exists alongside the creek.

Some winners, some losers with HST Continued from Page A1

These days, Slade’s dining room is stacked high with blue “yes” signs as a distribution point for a few diehard volunteers. Judith Rayburn is spreading the message through Victoria and is still steamed about how the tax was introduced. “It’s the fact that this government lied to us. (Former premier) Gordon Campbell told us he would not bring in this tax,” she said. Some HST supporters think voter anger against the 12 per cent tax — legislated to be 10 per cent by 2014 — is misplaced and fanned by misinformation. Mike Jagger, speaking for the pro-HST Smart Tax Alliance, said merging the GST and PST makes sense for businesses and consumers. Jagger, the owner of a security and alarm company, said the PST was a notoriously complicated tax riddled with loopholes and built on a series of arbitrary exemptions. He acknowledged that some consumers might ultimately pay more under the HST, but noted there are rebate cheques for lower income people. CENTRAL PARK

“Consumers pay one way or the other, but the PST had a lot of hidden taxes passed on in prices. HST is more transparent and fair,” Jagger said. “We don’t have an option of not paying tax, but the HST is simply a better tax system.” Jagger credits the HST with being able to reinvest in his business, including hiring more employees, which he expects will be a common theme for many businesses in B.C. The Fight HST side argues the HST is simply shifting part of the tax burden from businesses to consumers, and therefore has the support of many companies. “There are winners and losers with taxes, and definitely some businesses are winners,” Slade said. “I don’t want to be subsidizing a new company car or computer. “They are just getting more and more money from you, and making it more and more unaffordable to be here. If I have less money in my wallet, I won’t have as much to spend. That is the real driver of the economy.” The independent panel that studied the ramifications of the B.C. HST expects families to pay an average of $350 more per year, and about 17 per cent of goods and services are taxed higher under HST. The panel report noted that under PST, business tended to pass on an “invisible” seven per cent on consumer goods to offset tax paid by the business when it purchased those goods as wholesale. The HST should help

push prices down, the report said. The panel also expects the HST to ramp up economic growth, wages and employment over time, and that moving back to PST-GST will have negative consequences. At the same time, the HST will have an impact on consumers’ bottom line — after rebates and tax credits, B.C. residents will pay $1.33 billion more in sales tax and businesses will pay about $730 million less in tax in 2011-12. “Our consensus is the HST will be a net benefit to the economy. But you shouldn’t expect dramatic results overnight,” the panel report concluded. In the trenches, Fight HST and Smart Tax Alliance accuse each other of cherry-picking facts and spreading propaganda. Slade and Jagger agree that there seems to be little middle ground. “The HST is polarizing,” Jagger said. “Unfortunately it is more of a political issue than is should be. We are voting on a tax. This isn't a general election.” Slade said after countless volunteer hours of fighting to quash the tax, he thinks Fight HST is close to victory. “I believe yes, we will win. It’s been two years of hard work. We’re so close we can taste it.” For more information on Fight HST, see www.fighthst.com. For more on the Smart Tax Alliance, see hstjobs.ca. For more on the referendum and the independent panel report, see www.hstinbc.ca.

Before you vote, understand the referendum question: Are you in favour of extinguishing the HST and reinstating the PST in conjunction with the GST?

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Notice is given that all persons who believe that their interest in property may be affected by proposed Bylaw No. 330 and Bylaw No. 331 will be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the proposed Bylaws at a Public Hearing to be held at the School House, 1589 Millstream Road, Highlands, BC on Monday, July 18, 2011 commencing at 7:00 p.m. The lands that are the subject of the proposed bylaws comprise approximately 28.2 hectares (69.8 acres) and are described as: • Lot 4, Sections 13 and 14, Highland District, Plan 22965 (“743 Finlayson Arm Road”) • South ½ of Section 14, Highland District, Except Parcel B (DD 32752I) and Except Parts in Plans 8758, 22965, 40257 and 2812 RW (unaddressed) and are shown cross-hatched on Map 1.

“Highlands Ofﬁcial Community Plan Bylaw, 2007, Amendment No. 3 (Amenity 1), Bylaw No. 330, 2011” General Purpose: Bylaw No. 330 creates a new category of Official Community Plan (OCP) land use designation called “Amenity Areas.” This bylaw also creates the first specific area, which would be called, Amenity 1 – Community Centre/Hall. Also under Bylaw No. 330, the subject properties’ OCP land use designation would change from Rural to the new Amenity 1 – Community Centre/Hall. Land in this new designation may realize an increase in density if a portion of land in this new designation is donated to the District of Highlands for use as a location for a community centre/hall. “Highlands Zoning Bylaw, 1998, Amendment No. 31, (Amenity 1 Zone (743 Finlayson Arm Road and South Half Section 14)) Bylaw No. 331, 2011” General Purpose: Following from the above proposed OCP amendment, Bylaw No. 331 creates a new zone, Amenity 1 (Am1) Zone. This zone has permitted uses of residential, home-based business, agriculture, and accessory uses, buildings and structures. The base density of this new zone is one dwelling unit per 12 hectares (30 acres). If the amenity of approximately 8.3 hectares (20.5 acres) of land shown generally in Map 2 as, “Proposed Land Donation,” is donated to the District of Highlands to be used for community centre/hall purposes, the proposed Amenity 1 Zone allows for an increase in density to a maximum of 11 lots providing no lot is less than 1.2 hectares (2.9 acres) in size. Bylaw No. 331 also adds the subject properties, as shown hatched in Map 1, to this new zone.

Think of seniors in transit plans W

hen it comes to planning for future transportation needs in the Capital Region, the default strategy is to ease traffic congestion in clogged areas and improve the overall flow of commuting passengers. Besides projecting population growth outside the core municipalities and figuring out how best to serve workers coming from those locations, Maintaining it’s important for commission independence key transit and municipal for many seniors transportation planners to consider age-related issues. With the region’s aging population, servicing the specific transportation needs of elderly residents must increasingly be front of mind, alongside those of the workforce and student populations. Many seniors are still driving. But B.C. law mandates that anyone 80 or older must undergo a medical exam every two years to ensure they are still fit to climb behind the wheel. Not only that, if elderly drivers are involved in a crash, they can be forced to re-take their road test. For many seniors, losing their licence is the equivalent of being told they’re disabled, or worse, helpless. Personal independence for many is lost to a degree. Some seniors who don’t drive are already in the habit of taking the bus. For those who like the idea of BC Transit’s handyDART home pickup — it costs the same as regular buses — they’ll have to get used to reserving a day or more in advance. So much for being spontaneous and independent. Cabbing it can get expensive, but at least BC Transit offers taxi saver coupons to lessen the burden. An increasing number of people in Greater Victoria will soon be facing potential loss of their driver’s licence. Transit planners in the region need to be ready, with strategies that allow those seniors to maintain their independence and dignity. What do you think?

In this way of see- we were part of nature and

needed nature for survival. Today we spend less and less of our time outside. I have a friend who lives in the north end of Toronto in an air-conditioned highrise building. On weekdays, he goes down the elevator into the basement where he climbs into his air-conditioned car to drive the Don Valley freeway to the air-conditioned commercial building where he works. “I really don’t have to go outside for days,” he once told me. Ours is a shattered world, with torrents of information assaulting us from every angle. Headlines may scream of the aftermath of a hockey playoff or a devastating tornado in the southern U.S. And then we hear of floods in Pakistan or Manitoba, forest fires raging in northern Alberta, and thinning sea ice in the Arctic, retreating glaciers, and drought in rainforests. Reports about floods and droughts and climate change get sandwiched between clips about scandals and celebrities, and so we view them as isolated events. An environmental perspec-

tive would consider the possibility that many of the events are connected to an underlying cause. Such a perspective would help us get to the root of problems rather than trying to stamp out brushfires without identifying the source of a conflagration. We tend to think of environmentalists as folks concerned about nature or an endangered species or threatened ecosystem. Environmentalists are accused of caring more for spotted owls or trees than people and jobs. That’s absurd. In seeing a world of interconnections, we understand that people are at the heart of a global eco-crisis and that genuine sustainability means also dealing with issues of poverty, lack of justice, terrorism, genocide and war, because so long as these issues confront humanity, sustainability will be a low priority. In our interconnected world, all of these issues are a part of the unsustainable path we are on. If we want to find solutions, we have to look at the big picture.

LETTERS ‘Rebel page’ a known protester Re: Rebel page a future prime minister?, Think About It, June 29, 2011. You would have us believe that Miss DePape is a simple page? In fact, she is an activist and is known for protesting. Could it be that she joined the non-partisan senate program under false pretense, for no other reason than to disrupt the throne speech? And you would suggest she is a future prime minister? Do your homework Mr. Mortimore. Todd Stewart View Royal

Memorial needed for Afghanistan conflict How will the sacrifices made by Canadian military personnel in Afghanistan be remembered on the West Shore? When can we expect to see an “Afghanistan” plaque affixed to the West Shore cenotaph to recognize the 157 Canadians including 13 British Columbians who have lost their lives in this conflict? A precedent has been set with with “Korea 1950-1953” and “Peacekeeping” plaques that have been placed on many of the province’s cenotaphs built to commemorate Canada’s sacrifices in the First and Second World Wars. Some may not agree with the decision making process that led to the deployment of Canadian Forces to Afghanistan. However, the contributions made by Canadians as members of an international force with the mandate of protecting the rights and freedoms of Afghans by bringing security and stability to the

region cannot be ignored. As combat operations draw to a close in Afghanistan, I would suggest that it is time to commission a visible and long lasting reminder of the service and sacrifices made by many thousands of Canadians on the other side of the world, those numbers include many from the West Shore. To do so, in time for this year’s Remembrance Day service would be most appropriate. Mike McBride Colwood

Rioters need more than just punishment Re: Emotion clouds gov’t riot reaction, Our View, June 24, 2011. When I saw yet another young lady on TV say “I am sorry,” it just made my blood boil. It’s not enough to say “I am sorry, I won’t every do anything like this again” or “I’ll do whatever it takes to make this up.” Sure, the government can spend megabucks of our money on a task force and prosecute the perpetrator but how will it really address or make up for what has happened and prevent it from happening in the future? We could throw them behind bars and be done with it. But in the end, that’s just telling them what to do or punishing them for their misdeeds. Essentially, it lets them off the hook. As a professional personal coach, there is only one question I want to ask every one of those who participated in the Vancouver riot: “So what are you going to do to make this right?” What if each and every rioter were relentlessly asked that question, broken record style until they came up with an

answer that they could take ownership of and put into action? Perhaps the more prudent action to take would be to gather together a “task force” committee of their peers who politely suggest to each one of the rioters that they exercise their brain cells to come up with their own answer as to how they, individually, are going to make restitution to those businesses and individuals who were hurt during the riot.

The best fit for safety glasses If you wear safety glasses at work, you should get the best possible fit to protect you from hazards as well as to insure that you see as sharply as possible. Your eye doctor will first give you a thorough vision examination, checking for sources of eye irritation and other vision related problems. He or she will also check your visual acuity, eye coordination, and muscle function. In recommending the beset safety glasses for your needs, your eye doctor will want to know the type of work you do. What level of eye protection is required for your particular occupation? Does your work require that you view object at far and near? Depending on your age you may need safety glasses that correct for vision both close up and in the distance. The position of the tasks you perform must also be considered. If your close up work is above eye level, for example, there are even glasses that have the bifocals on top so that you can work above your head with comfort. Ensure your safety glasses and all your eyewear are meeting your needs as well as possible. See your Optometrist for regular eye examinations.

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.

Welcome the Princess of Denmark Ryan Flaherty News staff

The plays of William Shakespeare have been subject to countless re-interpretations. From characters, to setting, to dialogue, no element has escaped scrutiny. Some versions remain faithful to the originals, but others alter the content so drastically that the source material is nearly unrecognizable. Director David MacPherson’s presentation of Hamlet, opening tonight (July 6) at the Shakespeare In the Summer festival, falls somewhere in the middle. In this rendition, the Prince of Denmark is portrayed as a woman. “There are so many lines and soliloquies and phrases that are so familiar,” MacPherson said. “Making Hamlet a woman brings new things to the story and makes people look at the relationships differently.” Hamlet’s relationships with

his father, mother, stepfather and even his lover, Ophelia, are all profoundly altered by having a woman in the central role. What’s more, the impact those relationships have on Hamlet’s motives have given the play a number of new avenues to explore. “We kind of escape a bit of the trap of treating the relationship between Hamlet and Gertrude (Hamlet’s mother) as sexually charged,” MacPherson said. “This way we can step back from that and see what the mother did and why she did it and why she married so quickly.” It’s one of several instances where MacPherson has taken a step back from the more sensational elements of the story in favour of a more thoughtprovoking approach. The honour of playing the now-female Dane has been handed to Melissa Blank, who has previously appeared in Shakespeare In the Summer productions of Julius Caesar

Coalition to End Homelessness makes gains Subsidized housing on the rise, but many people still seeking emergency shelter

Roszan Holmen News staff

Another year, another 535 people housed — bringing the region significantly closer to its goal of ending homelessness by 2018. The number is down from last year, when members of the Coalition to End Homelessness worked together to house 635 people. But the tally doesn’t tell the whole story. Housing retention is also an important part of the picture. “We will continue to strengthen our efforts to ensure that people retain their housing for much longer periods,” said Debbie Thompson, executive director of the Coalition to End Homelessness. “Our intention is to continue to monitor that … because it’s about ensuring people have the supports to remain housed.” There’s already been progress. At first, one third of homeless clients housed were either evicted or lost their housing for a variety of reasons. That proportion has now dropped to one quarter. “We know that at least 75 per cent of the people housed remained past six months,” said Thompson. “It’s incremental but it’s steady.” The coalition held its annual

The purpose of the bylaw is to amend Bylaw 1465, which regulates the keeping of animals within the Juan de Fuca, Salt Spring Island and Southern Gulf Islands electoral areas, to shorten the timeline to allow for dog license renewals from March 31 to the last day of February. A copy of Bylaw 3785 may be inspected between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday inclusive from the date of this Notice until July 13, 2011 at the locations listed below: • Public Notice Posting Place, Main Floor, 625 Fisgard Street, Victoria • Animal Control & Bylaw Enforcement, #212-2780 Veterans Memorial Parkway, Victoria #206-118 Fulford-Ganges Road, Salt Spring Island; 4605 Bedwell Harbour Road, Pender Island (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, closed noon - 1pm) • CRD website: www.crd.bc.ca/bylaws/animalcontrolnoiseti_/index.htm Questions regarding Bylaw 3785 may be directed to Don Brown, Manager, Bylaw and Animal Care Services, telephone 250.474.3351 (local 21) or toll free 1.800.665.7899 (local 21).

general meeting June 28, marking the two-year anniversary since members agreed on a 10-year deadline to house the estimated 1,500 homeless on the street. Since then, hundreds of new subsidized housing units have opened up, yet the number of people seeking emergency shelter has also risen. The coalition’s Streets to Homes program, which ramped up in May 2010 after a long delay, has guided 41 people into

By the numbers One year snapshot, ending March 31, 2011: ■ 177 additional rent subsides to house people in existing market rental units. ■ 258 units of newly built subsidized housing opened for the homeless, for seniors, or people with disabilities. ■ 535 people housed who were previously homeless. ■ 1,958 unique individuals used one of five emergency shelters, up 7.4 per cent over two years.

rental apartments by March 31. The pilot project aims to house 120 people in private market units. To help find more suitable units and landlords willing to participate, the coalition partnered with the Rental Owners and Managers Society of B.C. So far, six to 10 landlords have been identified through the partnership. They have pledged to dedicate 15 units by summer for people coming from supportive housing, rather than people currently living on the street. “That’s going extremely well,” Thompson said, adding that so far, she’s received positive feedback from participating landlords. Unlike most tenants, who could deface the property or fail to pay rent, Streets-to-Home clients come with direct rent payments, a support worker and an appointed landlord liaison, she said. With seven years left to achieve an end to homelessness, Thompson emphasized the need for funding partners. “We need all levels of government,” she said. While she acknowledged the provincial government’s contribution to maintain current supportive and affordable housing, she emphasized, “we need more new stock.”

The Westshore Stingers Jr. B squad is out of the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League for the 2011-12 season and won’t return at least until the 2012-13. The Kerry Park Islanders have moved to the VIJHL south division to face the Peninsula Panthers, Saanich Braves and Victoria Cougars. The struggling Stingers’ franchise was frozen partway through the 2010-11 season after a mutiny led to players being dismissed and the team being unable to field enough players on the ice.

Memorial 3-on-3 raising funds for Willway Charla Huber News staff

Family and friends of the late Paul Valentine are hosting the 12th annual Paul Valentine Memorial three-on-three basketball tournament this weekend The profits from this year’s tournament will go towards improving the basketball courts at Willway elementary school in Langford. “(Willway’s) court is a bit beat up,” said Craig Kadir, a tournament organizer. “We are trying to fundraise to get some new backboards and rims.” The tournament organizers and Valentine’s family and friends want to raise enough money to upgrade

several basketball courts on the West Shore. They have chosen Willway first because it was Valentine’s elementary school. “Any money we make, we just put it right back into the community,” Kadir said. For the past 12 years the tournament’s profits have been used for projects such as building a second court at West Shore Parks and Recreation, creating a scholarship and sending students to camp. Paul Valentine was murdered during an unprovoked attack in 1998 in a McDonald’s restaurant parking lot in Saanich. Only 19 years old, Valentine was hit over the head with a piece of lumber by another teen. “I was out with him the night he

was murdered,” Kadir said. “We try to make good out of a sad situation.” Valentine and Kadir went to middle school and high school together. Kadir remembers Valentine’s funeral being packed with friends and family. “Belmont had about 1,500 students and Paul was friends with someone from every group at the school. He touched a lot of people,” Kadir said. “He was the life-of-theparty kind of guy.” Although Valentine wasn’t on the school basketball team, he had a love of basketball and often played at the outdoor court at the West Shore recreation centre with Kadir. Over the years Kadir has seen

many of the same people enter the tournament and watched their children grow up on the court. The tournament is open to all ages and abilities with games running July 9 and 10, 10 a.m to 4 p.m. at West Shore Parks and Recreation, 1767 Island Highway. The basketball courts are on the eastern edge of the property, past the soccer fields, near the baseball diamonds. Spectators are welcome. Three-on-three teams can register under U13, U18, open and over 30 divisions.

The BC Liberal/Big Business

TOP 7 HST MYTHS The BC Liberal “myths” about the HST just keep piling up. Following is their latest Top Seven – all new and misleading as ever – HST Myths: 1. The HST is now 10% - False The HST is 12% and will not be 10% for three years – if ever. There will be an election before that, and even if the HST were to miraculously drop to 10% - it will still apply to hundreds more goods and services than a 12% PST/GST for a total tax increase to consumers of $1.6B per year. And who says it won’t go right back up again later?

2. The HST will lower taxes – False This one is hilarious. The HST increases taxes for British Columbians by $2.8 Billion per year. That’s an average annual increase of $500 per person - or $1208 per average family – forever. Finance Minister Falcon says if his side loses he may disregard the result and expand the PST to items previously exempt – which would be illegal. Do you really trust this guy to cut the rate if he wins?

3. The HST will save you money - False And the tooth fairy is going to leave you a quarter under your pillow too. To get their numbers to show the HST actually “saving” you money they are calculating only “routine purchases” and that 90% of what you pay in HST will be passed back to you in lower prices. Have you seen lower prices?... We didn’t think so.

4. The HST benefits seniors - False Seniors and people on fixed incomes are some of the hardest hit by the HST. A one time rebate of $175 if you vote in favour of their tax in exchange for paying it for the rest of your life is a deal only a snake oil salesman would offer. Why take $175 when you can vote to cancel the HST and keep all your money? How dumb do they think we are?

5. The HST benefits families – False Next to seniors, working families are hardest hit by the HST because they are among the largest consumers and have dependent children. Bribes of $175 per child when your cost is closer to $400 a year each makes you wonder if they think all of us failed math as badly as they did. And what about a single mom with two kids going to college? She gets nothing while the Premier and Finance Minister who earn big six figure salaries get the rebate. Nice.

6. Business will pay more so you pay less - False A temporary increase of 2% in corporate taxes will be passed on to consumers with increased prices. Either way you pay the final bill whether it’s in HST or higher prices.

7. We’ll owe $1.6 Billion if we cancel the HST - False The “Independent Panel” says the HST generated $850 million more than budgeted. Setting aside that is the biggest tax grab in BC history, it means government already has $850 million to repay Ottawa. BC has only received $1B, and Ottawa collected $300M more in corporate taxes under HST than under PST. So it’s a wash. And keeping the HST would cost British Columbians alot more than killing it – over $28 Billion in new taxes in just 10 years.

Hesjedal carried by team GarminCervelo sprint to lead There is hope yet for Ryder Hesjedal, who was part of the crash in the final kilometres of the Tour de France’s opening stage on Saturday. Hesejdal was part of the peleton that looked to be completing stage 1 in unison and would thereby finish tied for the lead time. But the Belmont secondary grad and lone Canadian on the Tour was caught up in an unavoidable accident - a cyclist’s nightmare as multiple racers fell to the road. Hesjedal’s GarminCervelo teammate, Christian Vande Velde, was also in the crash. Meanwhile, a large group from the peleton continued undeterred, including GarminCervelo’s Thor Hushovd and Tyler Farrar. They ended the stage at one minute and 55 seconds ahead of the group of recovered crashers. Hesjedal had his reservations about the likelihood of regaining

Ryder Hesjedal after stage 1 of the 2011 Tour de France, Passage du Gois to Mont des Alouettes. a spot in the top 10, but has plenty to race for as Garmin-Cervelo was in first place by one second. “The motivation is still there to do well. We have the strongest team ever for the Tour de France, so we want to have fun, enjoy racing and get some results,” Hesjedal said in the team’s Sunday report. Stage 2 was huge as Garmin-Cervelo won the time trial and Hesjedal gained 31 seconds on the lead,

a push back from the rider who ended the 2010 Tour de France in seventh place. “I was a little upset (after Saturday’s crash), because that wasn’t in the plans, but we have to put that behind us. We’re here to race hard and we did.” Stages 2 and 3 were full of sweet irony as Hesjedal’s teammates Hushovd (Norway) and Farrar (U.S.), a pair of renowned sprinters, won the yellow jerseys, respectively. sports@vicnews.com

The June 21 gala – the perfect way to welcome the sunny first day of summer – honoured the 350 nominees in 117 categories, from books to bikes, marlets to martinis honoured, each waiting to find out who would be named the city’s best, as voted by Black Press readers from throughout Greater Victoria. Oak Bay News editor Don Descoteau emceed the event, which also offered guests a first peek at this year’s 84-page Best of the City publication, showcasing both this year’s finalists and some of the many elements that make the Capital Region the best in its own right. Latin jazz duo Los Gringos Loco entertained the guests, who also enjoyed delicious treats from the Inn at Laurel Point’s talented banquet and catering team.
