Young dog left overheating in West Shore RCMP vehicle Edward Hill News staff

Island District RCMP are investigating the actions of a West Shore RCMP officer who left a dog baking in a police SUV at the Goldstream Boathouse Marina last week. A young German shepherd was left in a police truck for at least three hours, with windows cracked but exposed to the noonday sun on July 6, according to witnesses. Cpl. Darren Lagan said senior RCMP officers in Victoria are reviewing the circumstances and actions around the dog being left in the vehicle for an extended period of time. The dog is reported to be in good health with no ill effects. RCMP initiated the review after CHEK News aired footage of marina employees working to keep the animal cool by feeding it water and erecting a tent over the SUV. Lagan said the review isn’t a criminal investigation, but the West Shore officer will have to answer for his actions. It’s unclear if the officer could face punishment or sanctions if he found to be negligent. The Victoria SPCA has confirmed it is launching its own investigation of the incident. “It will be investigated,” said animal protection officer Erika Paul. “It’s the same as any dog in a vehicle in this weather.” “Certainly we would welcome that. Our standards are high across the board and this is an isolated incident,” Lagan said. “In the end the dog is fine and healthy, but that doesn’t negate the risk. There certainly are questions around (the officer’s) decisions and actions, which is why the review is convened.” Goldstream Boathouse employee Darrell Taylor said the officer showed up in a police vehicle around noon.

Bikers seek justice for slain rider Accused makes appearance on drunk driving charges Edward Hill News staff

On Canada Day, summer had finally arrived and Janarthan Mahenthiran was ready to hit the open road. The 47-year-old Victoria man met his fellow motorcycle enthusiasts at Moka House in Cook Street Village for coffee and chitchat. The group was prepped for a Canada Day ride around the city, but Mahen-

thiran opted out — too many people for his taste. Instead, the man known as “Jana” to his biking buddies made his way out of Victoria on his Yamaha FZ-1. At 12:20 p.m., at the curve in the TransCanada Highway just past the idle Spencer interchange, a southbound Lexus crossed the centre line and hit Mahenthiran head-on. Motorcyclist Dave Adams of Cowichan Bay was driving into Victoria to pick up his wife for a holiday ride. One of the first on the scene, he started chest compressions on Mahenthiran until fire crews and paramedics arrived. “I didn’t know it was a biker at first, and it was just car-

She was in his lane, not just over the line,” Adams said. “I was pretty shaken up. I didn’t ride my bike home that day.” About eight riders attended court on July 7 for a bail hearing for the female driver charged in Mahenthiran’s death. Some were sports bike enthusiasts who knew him personally, some were tattooed men attending out of respect for a fellow rider. PLEASE SEE: Accused, Page A4

Cigarettes ignite rash of median fires on Island Highway Edward Hill News staff

Dry weather, fresh bark mulch and carelessly flicked cigarettes have sparked a rash of small fires in the new medians on Island Highway. Since the roadway reopened to two lanes in late June, View Royal Fire Rescue has responded to at least 20 bark mulch fires, virtually all attributable to smouldering cigarettes. Lieut. Rob Marshall said the fires are a nuisance more than anything — none have threatened to leap into yards or buildings. But just as Island Highway commuters have returned to the joy of two uninterrupted lanes, traffic is getting jammed when firefighters roll in large firetrucks alongside smoky medians. Creating a safe work zone for firefighters can often halt or divert traffic on the busy commuter route. Most of the fires happen in the early morning or late afternoon, when commuters traffic is moving slowly and drivers who smoke flick smouldering butts out the window. Marshall said a few median fires have had two or three cigarettes burning bark mulch at the same time. “It’s amazing how many cigarettes are flicked out there. As soon as one goes in, it burns through the bark mulch making a wispy smoke,” Marshall said. “The issue we run into is with firefighter safety. With fire in the median we’ve almost got to stop traffic.” Irrigation pipes run under the soil in the new medians, dripping water for plant roots but leaving the surface dry and prone to fires. Marshall said View Royal engineering is working on installing pop-up sprinklers for topdown wetting. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Beecher Bay paddlers seek support for Tribal Journeys Charla Huber News staff

Twice a week about 18 paddlers from Beecher Bay First Nation pile into a canoe and practise cutting though the water as a group while singing traditional seafaring songs. The group of Beecher Bay residents, mainly youth and elders, are preparing for this year’s Tribal Journeys, a canoe trip that stops along reserves of various First Nations to the final destination of Swinomish reservation on the Puget Sound. Canoes from First Nations up Island will arrive at Beecher Bay in the afternoon of July 15. After an evening feast and celebration, the paddlers, including those from Beecher Bay, will continue on their journey. “Every person I’ve talked to who have been on the Tribal Journeys has come back with a bigger respect for themselves. That makes them a better person,” said Sharon Cooper, Beecher Bay’s Tribal Journeys coordinator. “If we bring up a family of better people they are only going to contribute to society.” The Beecher Bay residents are keen on the trip and have plenty of volunteers willing to follow the canoe in support boats, as well as drivers to haul gear and tents by land. The community is seeking donations to help cover the cost of food, fuel and safety supplies. Individual First Nations from the north coast and both coasts of Vancouver Island will paddle each day from reserve to reserve. They ask the chief for permission to come ashore and stay the night to camp. By the time the armada of canoes arrives at Beecher Bay, the nation will be cooking dinner and breakfast for about 200 people. The Beecher Bay group needs lifejackets to fit all sizes, including inflatable jackets for larger people. They also need a radar reflector so the canoe will show up on larger ships’ radars when

Sharon Cooper and her daughter Alana Jay, 2, are travelling on this year’s Tribal Journeys to Swinomish reservation on the Puget Sound, in Washington State. Beecher Bay First Nation is seeking donations to help make the canoe trip possible. they cross the shipping lane and border into Washington State. “Otherwise a big ship would never see us coming in a fiberglass canoe,” Cooper said. “Ideally our support boats will be beside us all the time.” Participating in the Tribal Journeys is an annual event for Beecher Bay, but it found itself suffering a serious setback after its hand-carved cedar dugout canoe cracked. While the traditional canoe is out for repairs, the nation had to fundraise to purchase 36 foot fiberglass canoe costing $18,000. “It’s 600 pounds, it’s light. It glides across the water and handles fabulously,” Cooper said. It also has more space. “We can seat the paddlers side by side now. More people, more power for the pullers,” Cooper said. “I want to bring our family together, I want to bring our canoe family together. I want to leave a legacy of sharing.” Along with learning to swiftly

travel across the ocean, the Beecher Bay residents are learning traditional canoe etiquette. “When we get into a canoe we can’t have any hard feelings. When we step into a canoe it’s about good feelings. No one is allowed to get in the canoe if they are unhappy or angry,” Cooper said. “Also if someone calls the canoe a boat they get chucked in the water. It’s a canoe.” Cooper, 40, has never been on the Tribal Journeys, but has always wanted to go. She will be joined by her two teenage children and her 12-year-old step daughter. Even her two-year old daughter will be travelling along side in a support boat. “I want the youth to know that you can get together and be happy,” Cooper said. “I want them to know that being First Nations is something to be proud of. When I was younger I was ashamed to be First Nations.

“Even though I didn’t go to residential school, I was the end victim of it,” Cooper said. Her father had been through the abusive and dehumanizing residential school system. “I was a victim of abuse. It made me not like authority and I rebelled at a kid.” Now as a mother, Cooper wants to help First Nations youth feel involved and important. “I feel it is my generation that needs to stop the circle of violence. I want to turn it around and let them see that there is better in this world,” she said. “I wanted to bring everyone together for goodness and happiness.” To donate to the Beecher Bay Tribal Journeys trip or for more information contact Sharon Cooper at 250-391-1802.

Marc Pootmans said Mahenthiran was known as a safe, responsible rider, and was well liked within Victoria’s motorcycle community. “He was always just full of life, always cheerful. All riders are passionate, but he stood out as a warmer rider,” said Pootmans, who occasionally rode with Mahenthiran. “He was a good guy. That is why we are here to show support and respect for the family.” “It could have been any one of us,” remarked Bobbi Bjornholt, who also rode with Mahenthiran. “I’m guessing he was going for

a ride out of town to get away from traffic. Motorcyclists like the free road,” said Alison Smith, who saw Mahenthiran on Canada Day at the coffee shop. “There has to be some serious failures to get to this point, from addiction treatments to the courts,” she said, referring to the alleged checkered past of the accused driver. “This was a preventable accident.” “It’s disgusting what caused his death,” Pootmans added. “It’s absolutely disgusting.” “I hope they system does what needs to be done when it’s something as bad as this,” said rider Jim Gowriluk, who didn’t know Mahenthiran, but came to the

courthouse to show his support. Mahenthiran’s wife, brother, brother-in-law and mother, all who live in Toronto, Ont., also sat patiently in court for the alleged Lexus driver to make an appearance. Mahenthiran had been living in Victoria alone for a year after he found a job in information technology. Originally from Sri Lanka and living in Canada for 30 years, he often travelled to Toronto to be with his family, his family said, and he had been a passionate motorcycle rider from a young age. The accused Lexus driver, Tracy Dawn Smith, 35, of Vic-

toria has been charged with dangerous driving causing death and impaired driving causing death in relation to Mahenthiran’s death.

Smith is already under a number of bail conditions linked to an assault charge from April 9 in Saanich, including not possessing or consuming alcohol. She sat quietly and nervously in the prisoner’s box Thursday for a judicial interim release hearing. Her eyes sought out familiar faces in the audience, her gaunt face encased by a mass of brown curly hair that seemed to overwhelm her slight frame. Her case was held over until July 14, when she will make a video appearance at Western Communities Courthouse from a pre-trial custody facility in Surrey. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Fraser Institute turns sights on hospitals Acute stroke patients in Greater Victoria hospitals were at a higher risk of mortality than those treated elsewhere in B.C. in 2008-09. Heart failure patients at Royal Jubliee and Victoria General hospitals, however, were more likely to live. The Fraser Institute released its British Columbia Hospital Report Card July 7, rating inpatient quality and safety in each of the province’s 95 acute care hospitals. Among adverse events tracked were accidental cuts or wounds during procedures, of which higher than average rates were documented in Greater Victoria for every year of the report (2001-02 through 2008-09). The institute lauded B.C.’s health care transparency and accountability for being the only jurisdiction to provide names of all hospitals for the report. The report draws on more than three million anonymous patient records and is available online at www.hospitalreportcards.ca.

New cinema complex ready to open Theatre at Westshore Town Centre boasts advanced digital technology Charla Huber News staff

Langford is now home to one of the most advanced movie theatres on Vancouver Island. The Cineplex Odeon at Westshore Town Centre is the first on the Island to be fully digital, no longer using film movie reels. It’s opening its doors on July 15. “Digital offers a crisper picture, sharper sound and a nice bright vivid image on the screen,” said Kyle Moffatt, Cineplex Entertainment director of communications. The complex will house seven auditoriums, four of which will offer 3-D technology. One of the 3-D ready theatres is the first Ultra Audio Video Experience (AVX) theatre on the Island. “The (UltraAVX) screen is significantly larger than a standard screen. It’s a wall to wall screen,” Moffatt said. For its grand opening week, the UltraAVX theatre will screen Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 four times per day. Tickets are $17 for adults and $14.50 for children and seniors. Watching an UltraAVX movie costs an $3 above a standard movie ticket and an extra $5 for a 3-D film. There are only 22 UltraAVX theatres across Canada. The UltraAVX auditorium offers 7.1 surround sound and is wired for more advanced 11.1 surround sound for future use as technology advances, Moffatt said. When the theatre eventually begins to use the 11.1 surround sound technology, the sound of rain falling in a film for instance, may be heard from speakers

above the heads of patrons, Moffatt said. The UltraAVX theatre also is equipped with larger seats and online reserved seating. “If you buy a ticket online you can actually pick your seat too,” Moffatt said. Langford was selected as a destination for the new theatre due to its strong residential growth. The theatre will employ 50 people with both full- and part-time positions. “Langford is a growing com-

munity. It’s really bustling,” Moffatt said. This new addition to the West Shore will be competition to the long-standing three-screen Caprice Theatre on Goldstream Avenue, open since 1989. “I think initially we’ll see a bit of a drop in business,” said Caprice manager Brian Jupp adding his customers will most likely want to check out the other theatre when it opens. But, at this point, Jupp said he isn’t too concerned. The Caprice offers admission at about half the price of other theatres and has a strong local following. “We are going to continue offering our great service, with great staff and the best popcorn in town,” Jupp said. At the Caprice adult admission is $6.75 and children and matinee tickets are $4.50.

Focus on existing facilities, says consultant plan for West Shore rec Edward Hill News staff

A long-term consultant plan recommends replacing the Juan de Fuca velodrome with a turf field and reducing the number of lawn bowling fields at West Shore Parks and Recreation. A draft study by Professional Environmental Recreation Consultants lays out a long list of priorities for the facility, such as fixing up the pool and lacrosse box, and better marketing for the par 3 golf course. In the short term, it recommends leasing the velodrome to the Greater Victoria Velodrome Society for five years, extending the one year lease granted recently. In the long term, about a decade, the report recommends redeveloping the 333-metre cycling track to make way for an artificial turf field. In the same time frame it says two of the four lawn bowling fields should be deemed surplus — possibly

to add a second ice sheet to Bear Mountain arena. Brian Johnston, a principal of Professional Environmental Recreation Consultants, stressed that new buildings and major structural changes are a long way down the road and subject to the approval by West Shore owner municipalities. In the short term, the recommendations focus on improving and maintaining existing facilities. “Protecting what they have is the highest priority,” he said. “The most important aspect is investing in existing capacity.” The two turf fields Langford built at City Centre Park has eased pressure on the need for more field space on the West Shore, but Johnston suspects that won’t last forever. The report suggests migrating one existing grass field at WSPR to artificial turf and eventually redeveloping the velodrome space too. The number of potential field users — such as soccer or base-

Vision Matters Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

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

Has my vision changed? How frequently should one “change ones glasses?” There is no hard and fast answer to this question. Certain people are able to keep the same prescription for two or three years, sometimes longer, while others require more frequent changes. Nearsighted children and adults between age forty and sixty, usually fall into the latter category, often requiring new prescriptions annually for several years. Typically, most adults will require lenses for reading and near work, when they reach their early forties. If distance vision is good without glasses, “readers” are often all that is necessary; but if distance correction is needed, bifocals or progressive lenses are most commonly prescribed. The reading prescription usually changes about every one to two years until age sixty or so. After sixty, barring eye health problems such as cataracts, the vision is usually very stable, and only minor changes are required. The best way to monitor these changes is to have routine eye examinations. Not only do these timely visits ensure the eyes are healthy, they are the most effective way to ensure a person is seeing as well as he or she should.

ball players — far exceeds the number of track cyclists, Johnston said, making the velodrome “surplus to the long term needs” of WSPR. “We could be proven wrong if cyclists develop programs,” he said. “It’s not an urgent decision. Some use (of the velodrome) is better than none.” Building another ice sheet over top lawn bowling fields also seems unlikely in the short or long term. WSPR society board chair Les Bjola said the new ice sheet in Langford should ease pressure for ice time. Parks and rec also plans to repair the cracked foundation under the JDF ice rink in 2012, a million dollar project that has money set aside. “When Langford opens its one ice sheet, we’ll go from not enough ice to a lot of ice,” Bjola said. “We need to see how that gets absorbed.” If there comes a time when the rec centre is looking for more ice space, Davie Mathie, president of the Juan de Fuca Lawn Bowling Club, said his members are ready to “fight for every inch” of lawn bowling green at WSPR. A 1994 Commonwealth Games legacy facility, similar to the velodrome, “it’s the only four-green facility in the province,” Mathie said. “There’s only two like this in Canada.” “It’s not the first time this has happened,” he said. “Taking away greens is always in the rumour mill, they’ve talked before about putting in another ice rink.” Bjola noted that critically, the capital plan has upheld the direction the rec centre is already heading — that maintenance of existing assets should take top priority. “It confirms we need to maintain existing facilities with more than Band-Aids. The report confirms we need to spend good money on high-level maintenance,” Bjola said. The recommendation for replacing the velodrome with a turf field echoes a plan floated three years ago by the WSPR board to make room for burgeoning numbers of soccer players. In response, both the Greater Victoria Velodrome Association and a consortium of sporting organizations launched lawsuits against WSPR and its owner municipalities to preserve the site. The fate of the velodrome also caused a deep rift among the municipal owners group. The current WSPR board of directors has yet to review or comment on the draft capital plan, and Johnston said it is open to revision. Bjola said he is concerned the velodrome issue could hold back passage of the capital plan, which is the cornerstone of a 20-year strategic plan for the rec centre. Bjola agrees with the report, that there are better recreation uses for the velodrome site, but disagreement among municipal owners is likely to “complicate things.” “I’m really thankful the majority of stuff in the capital plan is maintenance,” Bjola remarked.

Summer drivers take caution, remind police Charla Huber News staff

Vehicle collisions in Langford have police reminding drivers to slow down and pay attention in summer months. On Friday at 8:30 a.m. a Mazda was turning off Veterans Memorial Parkway on a yellow light and hit a GMC truck travelling on VMP through the intersection at Goldstream Avenue. “We could hear the collision from the detachment,” remarked Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz

with West Shore RCMP. Police arrived on scene immediately and began directing traffic around the crash. The scene was cleared in about 20 minutes. On Monday morning, the same area was the scene of a two-car crash. Around 10 a.m a sliver Hyundai was attempting to turn left off Goldstream Avenue on to Aldwynd Road and was struck by a yellow passenger car travelling north on Goldstream. The driver of the yellow vehi-

cle was issued a violation ticket. The summer months can a factor into crashes, police say. People are often driving unfamiliar routes and are not in their normal driving routines. “People are driving routes that maybe they are not accustomed to the surroundings,” said West Shore RCMP Const. Brian Lucas. “People need to be more relaxed, slow down and give themselves more time,” Rochlitz said. reporter@goldstreamgazette.com

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.

Colwood fire Chief Russ Cameron guards the scene where a tree snapped power lines in Belmont Park last week. Heavy winds uprooted several trees on the West Shore.

High winds knocked down trees, one onto a powerline last week on the West Shore. A tree fell onto powerlines in Colwood at 3 p.m. on July 7 leaving two homes in Belmont Park without power. Winds hit the region at 70 kilometres per hour. “The rotten old tree was

taken down in the wind,” said Colwood fire Chief Russ Cameron. A live powerline lay across the yard of a home on the corner of Belmont and College roads in Colwood’s Belmont Park. Other wires were resting on the tree. Colwood Fire Rescue cordoned off the area and waited for BC Hydro and military electricians to arrive.

Fire crews were cautious of the scene because they were uncertain if the wind could push the tree more and possibly drop more power lines. In Metchosin on the same day just before 5 p.m., an alder tree on Kangaroo Road near Eagles Road toppled over blocking both directions of traffic. “It had a soft root system,” said Ben Josephson, of

Metchosin public works. “The tree was scheduled to be taken down the next day.” The tree didn’t hit any lines or cause any damage. Metchosin volunteer firefighters arrived on scene to deal with traffic as Metchosin public works crew removed the tree. The road was cleared within half an hour. reporter@goldstreamgazette.com

Public servants sought for blood

LOCAL WOMEN MAKING A DIFFERENCE

News staff

Canadian Blood Services is tapping into Victoria’s bank of government employees during its neediest season. Summer is typically when the agency is most in need of blood, because many of its regular donors are away and people are more active, often causing more accidents, said Jason Austin, manager at the Blood Services clinic on Saanich Road. CBS has teamed up with the B.C. Public Service Agency for a blood donation challenge, open to public servants at all levels of government. The aim is to reach 2,000 donations in B.C. from July 13 to Aug. 31, part of the blood agency’s bigger goal of collecting 27,110 donations provincewide. “We want to develop a pattern, to keep people donating after the challenge,” Austin said. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Dog kept cool with garden hose Continued from Page A1

He was joined by a woman and two kids, and they boated into Finlayson Arm. Taylor said it didn’t take long for the dog to start barking, which soon turned into whimpering. It was about 26 C outside, he said, and the vehicle was parked in the open. “It was crazy hot. She was whimpering and whining. I could tell she was in distress,” Taylor said. “It was scary. I could feel the heat radiating off her.” Employees erected a tent over the vehicle and started hosing it down to reduce the interior temperature. Taylor used a hose to keep the dog’s water dish filled. After about three hours, another RCMP officer came by and drove off with the truck and dog. The original officer didn’t come back from his boat trip for several more hours, Taylor said. “I couldn’t believe this was a police vehicle,” he said. “If this had been any one of us, we’d would be charged right now.” Lagan said the officer in question is a regular RCMP member, not a dog handler. The officer volunteered to train and assess the young shepherd as a police dog candidate. “This is something officers are passionate about and choose to do beyond their regular work,” Lagan said. “Unfortunately this decision may negatively impact this officer’s position (training dogs) after putting in hundreds of hours towards this.” editor@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW

Conservatism creep evident I

n Greater Victoria, we can take for granted our ability to live in relative safety and security, to move and act freely, as long as we don’t harm others or someone else’s property. With the discreditable conduct decision against Victoria police Chief Jamie Graham for a offhand comment he made at an Olympic security conference to be reviewed, it has us reconsidering just how free we are. Whether there was, as Graham claimed, an undercover Victoria police officer driving a bus filled with protesters to Olympic torch relay events in Vancouver is almost beside the point. Graham made the comment at an event focused on security for a major international event, presumably a venue where serious strategies for dealing with breaches of security were being tossed around. At best, his comment was a show of braggadocio not exactly uncommon among police officers. At worst, it indicates a belief that the police are somehow above the law, able to circumvent the rules governing legal gatherings and peaceful protest in this province. Were there individuals on this bus considered a threat to engage in illegal or unsafe activities related to the torch relay? We don’t know, since the police haven’t told us. Even if there were, inserting a spy in the midst of a group of predominantly law-abiding people is not cool. It’s not the democratic Canada we live in. Other methods could have sufficed, such as following the bus and keeping an eye on suspect individuals. The discreditable conduct charge against Graham for making the comment out loud is moot here and a mere public relations stunt designed to deflect attention away from the real issue. The more serious point — one which we would like to call conservatism creep — is that the police would even consider planting a spy in such an environment. It smacks of authorities thinking they are somehow above the public, not a part of the community. That is a scary thought, indeed. What do you think?

The people who are now revered as political saints were wily, devious operators — rather like Ms. DePape. You don’t climb to a high political perch unless you are. U.S. president Franklin Roosevelt was as wily as they get. A shrewd brain prompted his actions to relieve the great economic depression of the 1930s and steer isolationist America into coming to Britain’s aid in the second World War. Lord Louis Mountbatten said wartime British prime minister Winston Churchill was “the canny political animal, very devious, bursting with energy and determination.” Why is lying and promise breaking OK for FDR and other political masters, but not OK for B.C.’s Campbell and Clark?

audible sound from windmills has been found to be below 40 decibels, which is around the level of sound you’d find in most bedrooms and living rooms. Critics have also pointed to low frequency sound and infrasound as the source of health impacts from wind turbines. These are sounds that are either difficult to hear or inaudible to humans. However, Ontario’s chief medical officer of health did a review of the scientific literature and found no evidence that low frequency sound from wind turbines causes adverse health effects. Research from Sweden and the Netherlands may shed some light on the opposition that windmills are facing. At or just under 40 decibels, 73

Even if you look only at the health impacts of Ontario coal-fired power plants, the numbers are significant and startling. It’s never easy to find energy technologies that will satisfy everyone, but with the world facing ever-growing negative consequences of burning fossil fuels, we must weigh our options. In doing so, wind power comes out ahead. If we ensure that care is taken to use technologies with minimal environmental impact and to locate turbines in areas where effects on humans and animals are also minimal, there is no good reason to oppose wind power.

per cent of people could notice the sound and six per cent were annoyed. But those who did not like windmills or found them ugly were more likely to notice the sound and were more likely to be annoyed by it. Though we should always remain open-minded about new and emerging research on any issue, the evidence seems clear that wind turbines built with appropriate setbacks do not constitute a health hazard. And wind becomes a more attractive energy source when you consider the health impacts of the main energy alternative, burning coal and other fossil fuels.

LETTERS ‘Downtown’ headline misleading Re: Downtown booze crackdown, News, July 1, 2011. I take strong exception to the headline in the Goldstream News Gazette “Downtown booze crackdown on Canada Day.” Against my reasonable expectation, this article in our local paper turned out to be not about downtown Langford, The headline should have read: “Downtown Victoria booze crackdown on Canada Day.” Wretchedly that same day, an alleged drunken driver caused death and destruction as well as closure of the Trans-Canada Highway for more than seven hours.

Transit in Langford poor for seniors Re: Think of seniors in transit plans, Our View, July 6, 2011. I’d like to add a comment to the column. I live on Spencer Road in a manufactured home park and am a senior. Many of the residents have mobility issues. Transit did not

consider seniors or those with mobility issues when they made changes to the No. 50 route nor with the new bus terminal. They removed the No. 50 Goldstream from making a loop on Dunford Avenue, Carlow Road and Goldstream Avenue.

Letters to the Editor The Goldstream News Gazette welcomes your opinions and comments. Letters to the editor should discuss issues and stories that have been covered in the pages of the Gazette. Please keep letters to less than 300 words. Please enclose your phone number for verification of your letter’s authenticity and your municipality of residence. Phone numbers are not printed.

Although buses going to their destinations follow this route and take Spencer Road, the community buses do not run as often. Transit has received many complaints and at least one petition. Their reasoning is that Jacklin Road has more density. Someone should take a ride along Dunford and look at the new housing. You have Spencer school and townhouses on the corner of Spencer and Goldstream. The No. 50 from downtown does not provide us with a direct route home. The Langford exchange — no washrooms, nowhere to get out of the elements. Sometimes you are out there waiting for a bus and it could be an hour or more for a Sooke bus. It’s dark and not many people are around — you don’t feel very safe. Many of us have brought these issues to BC Transit and Langford, but no one is listening. They don’t seem to understand that many of us are now using our cars or getting rides from our neighbours instead of using transit. I’d like a study done, as maybe there are other communities with similar issues. Donna Mollin Langford

Women in Afghanistan still need support Re: Our post-Afghan role will change, Our View, July 6, 2011. Yes, our combat role in Afghanistan is ending. However, Afghanistan is still one of the poorest countries in the world and our development role should continue, otherwise Afghanistan risks losing all the real gains that have been made in the last few years. A recent poll reported that

Afghanistan is the most dangerous country in the world to be a woman. The real enemy in Afghanistan is ignorance and illiteracy. I belong to a group of Victoria women working to raise money for initiatives led by Afghan women, for quality education for Afghan women and their families. We invite all women in Victoria to help Afghan women to improve their lives (www. cw4wafghan.ca). Jill Leslie Langford Letters continued on Page A12

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.

Will and Kate impress anti-monarchist Okay I admit it. This anti-monarchy guy, with a British-born wife, did watch photo ops of Will and Kate visiting Canada, was impressed with their more casual interaction with the enthusiasts that greeted them, a greeting not so evident during the previous Royal incursion. I was born in Canada and have long believed that our links across the Atlantic Ocean are no longer relevant or proper. That feeling could only intensify should Will’s father gain the throne. Should he be by-passed in favour of Will, perhaps my attitude might lighten up somewhat. Don Wilkes Langford

Climate reference for Victoria incorrect Join us for dinner Tuesday through Saturday. Come in before August 31st to be entered to WIN a 2 nights stay with full breakfasts at the Swans Hotel. Ask your server for details.

In your Best of the City issue, you refer to Victoria’s climate as Oceanic or Marine West Coast.

This is incorrect. In the widely used Koppen climate classification, this would be Cfb (Oceanic), whereas Victoria is Csb (Mediterranean). The difference between Cfb and Csb is that Csb has dry summers, defined as less than 30 millimetres of rain per month during the summer months and less than one third of the rainfall during the summer months, compared with the wettest winter month. In Victoria (as measured at Gonzales), summer rainfall is well below this threshold (21 mm in June, 14 mm in July, and 20 mm in August) and the summer months receive less than one-fifth as much precipitation as the wettest winter month. It looks like you got this from an incorrect statement in the Wikipedia article about Victoria’s climate. (The same article also states that Victoria’s climate is Mediterranean.) Steven Murray Victoria

Rail ambivalence fuelled by rising costs While the promise of investment by the province has improved the chances for the Island Corridor Foundation, the level of service required to maintain the endeavour may be the least of the challenges, as some conditions of the facilities and rail infrastructure may come at the expense of other categories in mass transit. There remains a significant backlog of repairs and potential new construction. Like any system that means, rail track requires maintenance and improvement all the time to reach good condition. Investments will be required to improve conditions at rail maintenance facilities and yards, yet many buildings and yards remain in fair to poor shape. If the province and feds fail to invest adequately in the rail, the level of service will suffer, and they will find themselves off the rails again, and we the taxpayers will never recover that investment.

HST a benefit to families

BEGINNING THIS AUGUST, WE’LL BE IN VICTORIA TO EXCHANGE YOUR OLD METER WITH A NEW SMART METER. BC Hydro will begin upgrading homes and businesses with new smart meters. Moving to a more efficient, modernized grid will create immediate savings for you, and it will help us all enjoy safe, reliable, and more affordable power for decades to come.

Exactly how much is an inch of water? And how do you measure it?

An inch of water a week – from rainfall & watering – is all the water your lawn needs to stay healthy. More than one inch of water, and you risk weak, shallow roots, and damage by fungus, weeds, diseases and pests. Get a watering gauge FREE! If you have a water bill account number in the Greater Victoria area call 250.474.9684 for a free watering gauge. Watering gauges make it easy to see how much water your lawn is getting. For more information visit www.crd.bc.ca/water or call 250.474.9684 for a Waterfacts sheet on how to measure how much water your lawn is getting. www.crd.bc.ca/water

•

Typically, meter installation will take place Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. PST.

•

Meter installers will have BC Hydro and Corix logos on their trucks and uniforms, and photo identification badges.

•

You don’t need to be home, as long as we have safe and clear access to your meter – please remove any physical modifications that prevent a meter exchange.

•

In most cases, the exchange will take less than 10 minutes.

•

You will experience a brief power interruption, in most cases it will last 60 seconds.

For more information about the smart meter installation process, visit bchydro.com/smartmeterinstall.

For 50 years, BC Hydro has been providing clean, reliable electricity to you. Today we are planning for the next 50 years by investing in new projects, upgrading existing facilities and working with you to conserve energy through Power Smart.

Here’s what you can expect:

As B.C. Liberals, we recognise our government didn’t do a great job introducing the HST. While we can’t change the past we can learn from it, and learn from it we have. More than a quarter million British Columbians participated in tele-town halls around our province and their input was heard. With HST ballots arriving in EsquimaltRoyal Roads’ mailboxes, it is important that all of us understand the HST question being proposed and participate in this historic referendum. By voting “no” on your ballot, you are saying no to going back to an onerous tax system and yes to supporting a lowered HST at 10 per cent. Families will see a one-time $175 per child HST transition payment and a onetime $175 for seniors earning up to $40,000 to help the transition until the rate drops. However these supports for families and seniors will only take effect if we keep the HST by marking your ballot “no.” Marina Guest Esquimalt-Royal Roads B.C. Liberal Riding Association

An accordion renaissance Edward Hill News staff

Edward Hill/News staff

Jelena Milojevic, in Tempo Trend Music’s accordion room on Burnside Road, headlines this weekend’s Victoria Accordion Festival.

Forget what you know about accordion music – this isn’t your grandmother’s polka. Hundreds of the best accordion players in North America descend on Victoria this week for competitions and concerts, led by the city’s own Jelena Milojevic, Canada’s foremost classical accordionist. Growing bigger and better, this fifth Victoria Accordion Festival has expanded its competition prize purse to accordion orchestras for the first time, drawing three teams from Alberta. “We should have 70 or 80 people in the competition alone. We are expecting hundreds of musicians,” says festival director Aleksandar Milojevic, husband of Jelena. “Every year people say the festival is spectacular and this will be the biggest festival in Canada soon. But we are still growing, still experimenting and trying new things.”

One of the events will be a live-streamed, interactive workshop from an accordion master in France. This year, American accordion virtuoso Frank Marocco is sharing the stage with Jelena during Saturday’s concert at St. Andrew’s Church, and both will lead workshops. “Frank Marocco is a living legend in accordion,” Jelena says. Adds Aleksandar: “Any accordion music from a Hollywood movie is (Marocco’s) recording. He is the most recorded accordion player in the world.” The Milojevics are the driving force behind the small, but growing renaissance of accordion music in Greater Victoria. Beyond organizing the festival, they have established a two-year accordion program at Camosun College, the only location outside Toronto a musician can earn a post-secondary certficate in the accordion discipline. “It’s growing, but it’s not that easy to start. Our goal is

teaching the next generation,” Aleksandar says. “Our idea is to promote classical accordion as much as we can. We do classical, jazz and tango, not just old polka music.” Jelena is known for her passionate and striking performances of classical accordion and has helped boost Canada’s profile. Last year she placed third at the accordion Coupe Mondiale (world cup) in Rome, the best showing ever for a Canadian. At 29, the native of Croatia is energizing a new generation of fans. “Younger performers definitely attract younger people. They come in with fresh ideas and enjoy exploring new things. They push the limits.” The Milojevics are setting the stage for Victoria to host the Coupe Mondiale in 2013, coined as the Olympics of accordion performance. It would be the largest accordion event ever held in Canada. Aleksandar, who is on the jury for the 2011 Coupe Mondiale in Shanghai, China, is

lobbying the International Accordion Federation hard for the 2013 slot. “I should know by the end of July,” he says. “I’ve got to convince a few more people. But everything is in our favour. We are so close.” editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Accordion action ■ Victoria Accordion Festival runs July 14 to 17. ■ The concert of orchestras happens July 14, 7:30 p.m. at Alix Goolden Hall. ■ Frank Marocco and Jelena Milojevic perform July 16 at 7:30 p.m. at St. Andrew’s Church. ■ For a list of workshops, competitions and events, visit www. bcaccordion.ca.

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.

Teachers seek extra leave, wage parity Teachers salaries range from around $47,000 to more than $75,000 a year. Salary parity would mean a 21 per cent raise for most teachers to match levels in Alberta and cost an estimated $618 million, according to the BC Public School Employers Association (BCPSEA). Other top cost drivers in the proposals include extra prep time at $417 million and $445 million for a retirement bonus that would give departing teachers an extra five per cent payout for every year they've worked. The proposals leave a wide gulf between the teachers' federation and the BCPSEA, which aims to keep overall teacher costs the th frozen.

Public school employers say contract demands tabled by the B.C. Teachers Federation would cost the system nearly $2.2 billion more each year. The demands include doubling the provision for bereavement leave to provide 10 days paid leave on the death of any friend or relative. The union also wants teachers to be able to take 26 weeks off each year as a fully paid leave of absence to provide compassionate care to any person. The BCTF also wants wage parity with other provinces, although it hasn't yet tabled an exact pay hike demand.

PIPE BAND

“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.

Thirty-four people have now turned themselves in to the Vancouver police in connection with their roles in the June 15 Stanley Cup riot. The 50-member Integrated Riot Investigation Team continues to pore over thousands of photos and videos to capture the clearest image of a face or an identifying article of clothing. They're encouraging more photos, tips and information to be sent to a new email address: riot@vpd.ca. More than 600 GB of data is being reviewed, including 15,000 images and more than 3,000 video files equating to more than 1,200 hours of video. Those who’ve turned themselves in have not yet been charged. About 100 people arrested the night of the riot were previously charged. ICBC has offered to let police to use its driver licence photo database and facial recognition software to detect matches with photos of riot suspects, to the alarm of privacy watchdogs. But ICBC officials said the VPD has so far made no such request.

Former judge to review misconduct finding of VicPD chief Erin Cardone News staff

A retired judge will look at a decision that found Victoria’s police chief guilty of discreditable conduct. The Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner said Friday it will hold a review on record, which is a public meeting that takes a second look at the decision. Former judge Alan Filmer will review the deci-

sion. A date has not been set. The finding of discreditable conduct against police Chief Jamie Graham stemmed from a conference in November 2009 where Graham said he had an officer driving a bus load of Olympic protesters to Vancouver for the 2010 Olympic torch run. Victoria resident Bruce Dean complained, saying the comment jeopardized the undercover officer’s safety. An investigation by RCMP Chief Super-

intendent Rick Taylor found Dean’s allegations against Graham were substantiated. Those findings were forwarded to Victoria police board chair Dean Fortin, the mayor of Victoria. Fortin found Graham guilty of discreditable conduct in April 2011 and issued him with a written reprimand. Soon thereafter, Graham asked the OPCC for a review, while Dean asked for a public hearing. “A review on the record is a quicker, less

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.

Lone toddler left sweltering in SUV Kyle Slavin News staff

A mother who left her three-year-old girl locked inside an SUV in the hot sun came back to find police waiting. A man passing by noticed the child in distress inside the Ford Escape, parked in the 100-block of Obed Ave. Wednesday afternoon. The man called police around 5:30 p.m., as the temperature hovered around 25 C. An officer was able to reach his baton through the slight crack in the window and unlock the door. Police estimate the girl was left alone in the car for 30 minutes. As the child was being removed from the vehicle, her 31-year-old mother, a Victoria resident, arrived. The child was checked on by the B.C. Ambulance Service. The investigation was turned over to the Ministry of Children and Families, and the child was left with another family member. "The public is reminded that leaving children or animals in a locked vehicle in the sun is not appropriate,” Sgt. Dean Jantzen said. “The internal temperature of a vehicle left in the sun can be well beyond the outside temperature. Situations like this one could be investigated as negligence contrary to the Criminal code."

Lawmakers mull B.C. pesticide ban A provincial committee has convened to consider a possible blanket ban on home use of pesticides for cosmetic purposes throughout B.C. Liberal MLA Dr. Margaret MacDiarmid, a cancer survivor, heads the bipartisan special committee now weighing the potential to outlaw the sale of pesticides and the possible impact on farmers and forestry. Dozens of B.C. cities already have local bans on residential use but MacDiarmid said the ability to buy a herbicide or insecticide in one area and use it in another means there are grounds to consider a B.C. standard. "There's a real patchwork around the province," she said. Retailers currently sell pesticides even in cities where their use is banned. The Canadian Cancer Society argues long-term exposure to residential pesticides poses a cancer threat to children. New Democrats have already been pressing for tighter rules. NDP leader Adrian Dix this spring proposed a ban on the sale of high-risk pesticides, leaving residents only able to use lower risk alternatives. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Ballplayer an unbreakable spirit Devils 94 in the Canadian Fastpitch Open Travis Paterson News staff

Not only did Sarah Bodine make the catch, she never dropped the ball. It was the first game of the 2010 Bantam Girls Fastpitch Canadian Championship held in View Royal last July. Bodine, who recently finished Grade 11 at St. Michaels University School, was playing first base for the Victoria Devils 94. She chased down a foul ball and caught it, but broke her leg in two places when she collided awkwardly with the catcher. The bang-up resulted in major fractures to Bodine’s tibia and fibula. The nurse told her if the breaks were any more severe, the tendon damage would’ve been beyond repair. Bodine narrowly avoided amputation. A year later Bodine is back, a tumultuous journey behind her. But new challenges lie ahead. Her Devils, a midget team — all born in 1994 and from across the Capital region and beyond — are at the Canadian Open, playing in the U19 Futures Gold division. The first game was scheduled for Tuesday, July 12. Playing in the Futures Gold is a coup for his team, said coach Bruce Lubinich. However, the tourney is more about experience than winning. He isn’t counting his team out, but the opposition is not only

elite but players are also up to three years older. The coach wants his team to keep their expectations realistic. As for Bodine’s presence on first base, it’s a boon, he said. “The big thing with having Bodine back is she’s not only an excellent ball player, but someone who keeps the team together on the field and in the game. “Her energy is amazingly huge, she gets everybody going and it’s tough to not have one of those types of players on your team.” At the time of her injury Bodine had no idea how long she would be out. She lay field-side in a state of shock before going to the hospital an hour later. The team played on and eventually finished fourth. Lubinich thinks Bodine’s injury had a lot to do with losing that game, and the team’s overall performance at last year’s nationals. “There were about five teams, any of which could have won on a given day,” he said. “We were rolling along (in the first game) up until Bodine’s injury, and I think the team had a hard time recovering from it. They were so concerned with her health.” Bodine’s return is a grand achievement. The 16-year-old could easily have given up sports, as it is still early in her recovery. She was also lucky the titanium rod in her leg didn’t stunt her leg’s growth, although the injured leg is now two inches longer than the other. During the recuperation Bodine lost 35 pounds (16 kilograms) to muscle atrophy in her lower body. It took her five months to walk,

which she had to re-learn, and another two more before she could run. “I still can’t run well but I feel comfortable enough running the bases. Although, my mom says I look ridiculous,” Bodine said. It’s been a long year, an eyeopener and a time of spiritual growth. To be back with the team means a lot more to Bodine than just playing baseball again. “It was a mental injury. Dealing with it was all (upstairs). It brought me to where I’m at now, who I am, with a lot of faith in God.” Following the Canadian Open, the Devils 94 will challenge for the provincial title in Cloverdale. A top-three finish qualifies the team for the 2011 nationals in Winnipeg.

Three Victoria teams are in the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championships (formerly the Canada Cup) in Surrey, running until July 17. The Strawberry Vale Stealth are competing in the Showcase Select (16U) International Championship. The 1993-born Victoria Devils will play in Pool A of the 27-team Futures Gold U19 division. Lambrick Park’s Mackenzie Smith, who recently made a verbal commitment to Stanford University for 2012, is hoping to make the final cut with Canada’s national junior fastpitch team. Should the six-foot-two pitcher be released, she’ll return to the Devils 94, bolstering her team’s chances in the Canadian Open.
