The electronic message board above the Trans Canada High-way near Langford says it all: increased traffic enforcement ahead on the Malahat Drive.

It's no secret that as drivers wind their their way through the twists and turns of the main high-way connecting Greater Victoria to communities up Island that extra police are watching them.

The “Making the Malahat Safer” enforcement campaign launched at the beginning of July and in the first two weeks officers wrote almost 600 speed-ing tickets, 11 of which resulted in a seven day impoundment for excessive speed.

Another 100 drivers were slapped with fines for offenses ranging from failure to wear a seat belt or using a mobile devise while driving. Five were caught impaired and two without a valid licence.

Last Wednesday officers were joined by members of the Minis-try of Transportation’s commer-cial vehicle safety and enforce-ment branch who closed one north bound lane on Peden's Stretch to stop and inspect com-mercial trucks. The routine check was similar to what would nor-mally be performed at the weigh scale in Duncan.

“We're looking for the mini-mum operating requirements — checking breaks, tires, lights,” explained Brian Kangas, manager of vehicle inspections and stan-dards with the CVSE.

After the inspection, which can

take 30 to 75 minutes, the driver is given a report with instruc-tions to fix anything that could be dangerous. If something is seriously wrong the vehicle is taken off the road.

Also of concern is driver fit-ness. One driver was fined almost $600 for going three days without filling out a driving log, another watched his truck towed for driving with an expired licence.

“Commercial vehicles make up a significant amount of highway users and can do a lot of damage if they aren't fit to drive,” said RCMP Const. Robert Figueiredo of the Integrated Road Safety Unit.

In April, a fuel tanker truck driver was allegedly impaired when he crashed and spilled 42,000 litres of gasoline into the Goldstream River while rounding one of the many sharp turns on Malahat Drive. More recently, on July 1, a motorcyclist was struck and killed by another allegedly

drunk driver just south of the Malahat.

“It's a dangerous road and we want to see it as safe as possible for everyone,” Figueiredo said.

While the lane was blocked off, police also had their licence plate scanner to watch for peo-ple driving without the appropri-ate licence or insurance, as well as watching for speeders.

Traffic was backed up for a few kilometres as a result of the lane closure, but officers cleared the road by 2 p.m. to avoid slowing down commuter traffic.

Making the Malahat Safer cam-paign will continue throughout the summer.

Highlands is one step closer to building its long-awaited commu-nity centre.

Council passed bylaws on July 18 allowing resident Fred York to gift 20-acres of land to the District in exchange for allowing him to subdivide his property.

York plans to divide two adja-cent properties at the intersection of Millstream Road and Finlay-son Arm Road into 11 lots, each between three and five acres. The 90 acres, including land for the community centre, is still subject to rezoning.

The land gifted to Highlands, which is the eastern portion of York’s property at Millstream and Finlayson Arm roads, is the favoured site for the future com-munity centre.

The District needs to break ground soon — a provincial grant for the building project expires in March 2013. The grant will cover 80 per cent of the cost of the cen-tre or up to $400,000.

“We only have two or three let-ters on file in opposition,” noted Coun. Sigurd Johannesen. “If I look at this (application) without a community centre I think I can support it, so by adding a commu-nity centre it’s just a bonus.”

During the public hearing last week, council heard plenty of community support for the proj-ect.

It was worth the long wait and long lines as hundreds of people came face to face with rock leg-end Gene Simmons and family in View Royal on Saturday.

The famed reality TV clan — Simmons, his wife Shannon Tweed and their kids Nick and Sophie — were met with screams and cheers from more than 1,500 people packed outside the Great Canadian Casino.

Speaking about the roaring audience, the Kiss frontman shrugged: “The rest of the world says Canadians are nice. It’s true.”

In quick interviews with the Gazette and other local media, Simmons, 61, played coy on if he plans to wed his long-time part-ner Tweed, as alluded to on their reality show Gene Simmons Fam-ily Jewels. Tweed was not wearing a wedding band during the event.

“I’ve never been married. I des-perately love Shannon Tweed. We’ve been together 28 years,” Simmons said. “We have two great kids. Tomorrow is another day. All I can deal with is today.”

After decades of success with the rock band Kiss and the long-running reality TV show, Sim-mons says he has always lived the life he wanted.

When Simmons was a boy growing up in Israel and then the U.S., his parents only had one dream for him. “They wanted me to be anything (I wanted to be). Healthy and happy,” Simmons said.

His advice to kids dreaming of becoming rock stars is be pre-pared to go “where the fires are burning.” Waxing philosophically, he said if you have the talent and the drive often people have to find the right place at the right time for themselves.

“Whatever it is you want to become, sometimes where you are from doesn’t have it all. That’s just life,” Simmons said. “Be proud of who you are, but the mountain is never going to come to you.”

Now in its sixth season, Gene Simmons Family Jewels has cast

Simmons’ partner and kids in the spotlight, and helped him gain insight into his own personality.

“I think it has made us a closer family,” Simmons said. “(The show) helps me realize my per-ception of myself isn’t accurate. Sometimes I can be short, arro-gant, selfish. It’s good to watch.”

Despite a busy schedule with the reality show — which was filming during the View Royal stop — and touring dates with Kiss, Simmons still revels in the personal meet-and-greet events, such as in View Royal.

“Staying home and twiddling my thumbs and watching I Love Lucy reruns or coming out here, what would you chose?” Sim-mons asked.

Sophie Tweed-Simmons, Sim-mons daughter, said she loves travelling with her family and coming to places such as View Royal. “I have been travelling since I was 13,” said Sophie, 19. “I have been to 15 different coun-tries and lived in five.”

Even with a rock-star father and model mother, Sophie said her parents are strict. “There is zero tolerance for drinking or party-ing. My parents do encourage us to go out, but just not to be idiots about it.”

Fans waited in the morning sun for hours and some all night for a chance to meet the rock icon and his family. Crowds waiting to get a glimpse of the Simmons family were mostly made up of families themselves.

Along with his parents, Landen Shaw, 11, brought his guitar in hopes of getting a photo with the Simmons family. When Landen met Simmons on stage, he played him a few chords of the Kiss song “I was Made For Loving You” and got some guitar pointers from the Kiss bass player himself.

“This has got to be the big-gest day in View Royal history,” remarked View Royal Mayor Gra-ham Hill. “I have been asked to welcome royalty here today.”

Rob Cuitanovic of Victoria, brought his children Sofia, 8, and Marco, 6, to meet the Sim-mons family. A hardcore Kiss fan, Cuitanovic brought the board game Kissopoly, “Kiss This” bot-tle of wine and a 1997 Kiss tour program.

He’s been collecting Kiss mem-orabilia for 14 years and seen Simmons perform three times. “I think it’s cool (Simmons and fam-ily are coming). As a family they are pretty grounded. Not like typi-cal celebrities.”

“Meeting Gene would make my life,” remarked Kayla Butts, 16, who drove from Salmon Arm for a chance to meet the family. “My dad has listened to Kiss my whole life. My 95-year-old grandma loves them too.”

Supporters spoke of the need for a commu-nity hall and the gen-erosity of York offering the land to the com-munity.

“Communities are built on crossroads,” Highlands resident Neville Grigg told coun-cil. “The plan makes sense.”

Some residents are concerned over the construction of future homes and whether they would meet pro-gressive environmental standards. The pro-posed single family dwellings are already “over represented in the Highlands,” remarked resident Pat-tie Whitehouse.

Former Highlands mayor Mark Cardinal spoke in support of the project.

“I wish in my time (on council) that we has an application that was this so easy to decide on as this appli-cation,” Cardinal said. “This is something the community has long deserved.”

Highlands council is seeking a meeting with BC Hydro before smart meters are installed in homes within the district.

While council did not out right ban the meters, it decided it needed further information. “Once they put the (smart) meters in, there is no going back,” said Coun. Sigurd Johannesen.

The motion was passed after a

presentation by Highlands resident Kimberly Grigg. Grigg is concerned about health effects from the meters and was brought to tears during her speech.

BC Hydro plans to install smart metres to allow homeowners easy

monitoring of power consumption.“I think if we were to install

(community-wide) Wi-Fi, Highlands residents would be concerned, if we installed a few cell towers, Highlands residents would be con-cerned,” said Mayor Jane Mendum.

An attempted prison escape reminiscent of the breakout in the film The Shawshank Redemption was foiled at the Vancouver Island Regional Cor-rectional Centre.

Two prisoners were involved in the attempt, which was uncovered the morning of July 17 by corrections officials when they discovered a large hole in the ceiling of a cell inside the maximum security facility.

The escape attempt was first reported by the Gazette’s sister paper, the Saanich News.

“The circumstances are dra-matic and very movie-like,” said Saanich police Sgt. Dean Jantzen. “I can confirm that our detectives are investigating this incident … It involves the potential for a breach of secu-rity at the jail.”

The hole was large enough for an individual to fit through, though Jantzen could not say whether any prisoner actually breached his cell.

“At no time was there any risk to public safety,” Jantzen said.

The Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General won’t comment on what happened, but did confirm an incident took place.

“As soon as the hole was dis-

covered, B.C. Corrections con-tacted Saanich police to start an investigation into the attempted escape,” a ministry spokesman said.

Dean Purdy, chair of correc-tions with the B.C. Government Employees Union said no staff members were injured, but the attempt had “the potential to be very serious.”

“I can say that overcrowd-ing in the living unit where this occurred possibly played a part,” Purdy said.

The prison was built in 1985 to hold 206 inmates, but rou-tinely houses 350 to 400. He said 15 to 20 guards would’ve been working at the time of the incident.

VIRCC, located on Wilkinson

Road, is both a remand facility and a prison for inmates sen-tenced up to two years less a day in jail.

William Head in Metchosin, the other prison in the region, is minimum security and has group housing units instead of cellblocks.

Neither Saanich police or the ministry would say whether the two inmates involved are in remand or serving a sentence.

“This is another example of how difficult the job of a cor-rectional officer is,” Purdy said. “We have to be ever-vigilant against escape attempts, home-made weapons, assaults on staff and the ongoing violence that occurs inside our correctional facilities.”

Over the span of a work-day, a new grass community playing field sprouted up at Lakewood elementary school last Thursday.

English Lawn crews rolled out dozens of thick Western turf grass bundles, methodi-cally carpeting 62,000 square metres of earth. It’s been a long time coming — the site has been ready since last fall, but consistently rainy weather stalled laying turf.

The project is split between Langford and the Sooke School District, with each chipping in about $175,000, said Langford parks manger Mike Leskiw.

It’s a steal of a deal — at $350,000 the 95 by 65 metre field cost less than half then full asking price. Leskiw said companies donated or sold at-cost soil, irrigation piping and retaining wall blocks.

“We got a lot of great deals. The soil alone would have cost $400,000 but most was donated,” he said. “A lot of products came for free or

at-cost because companies recognize it’s for the commu-nity.”

The English Lawn crew who laid the field just came off laying the turf at Empire Field in Vancouver. Using a rolling machine and hard labour, foreman Ricky Styles

said they can build a field in less than a day, but they have to move fast. Turf has a short shelf life.

“You have to be careful, it’s definitely a delicate process, especially laying it on sand,” Styles said. “But we can do this in a day.”

“This is a really good exam-ple of the school district and City working together to save money and build something for the whole community,” Leskiw remarked. “And it’s the only full-sized field north of the highway.”[email protected]

Government communications have tradition-ally been built around a stream of propaganda, with the emphasis on pictures and text arranged to show the ruling politicians of the day in a flat-tering light.

Mundane public services such as permit appli-cation forms have been more difficult to find, requiring citizens to know which ministry is responsible for which service. And less flatter-ing information has often been available only to those who demand it under freedom of informa-tion.

Some of that changed for the B.C. government, as it unveiled a reorganized set of official web-sites that chooses information priorities based on what citizens are most likely to be looking for.

The home page of the B.C. government website at www.gov.bc.ca still features the smiling portrait of Premier Christy Clark. But it’s now as easy to find a cabinet minister’s travel expenses (www.openinfo.gov.bc.ca ) as it is to find a picture of his or her latest ribbon-cutting.

Services and application forms are now promi-nent on the main government website, based on the number of public requests for them and sur-veys conducted in recent months.

Features such as DriveBC and emergency flood updates are included in a “carousel” of most pop-ular sites at the centre of the home page.

B.C. Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham issued a report last year that called on the provincial government to begin rou-tine disclosure of information.

Denham said the new policy requires ministries to routinely post responses to freedom of infor-mation requests and to designate categories of information for routine release at no charge. She is encouraged by the first step.

“This policy demonstrates intent by govern-ment to adopt a presumption favouring disclo-sure,” Denham said.

The project also includes a searchable public database of government statistics on more than 2,000 subjects, such as birth rates, public sector salaries and school test scores.

Clark said the inten-tion of DataBC (www.data.gov.bc.ca) is to allow independent researchers to find new ways to use the data and contribute to pub-lic policy.

Province launches one-stop, online database

A View Royal man suspected of impaired driving tried to elude police and crashed into a swamp Wednesday morning.

A Victoria police canine handler going off duty spotted the a truck being driven errati-cally near Tillicum Road at about 5 a.m. The vehicle veered onto dead-end Kent Road in an effort to evade police.

A passenger, who wasn’t located, jumped out of the pickup as it was moving. The driver pulled a quick U-turn and sped at the pursuing police vehicle, lost control and crashed into a grassy, wooded area.

The police dog found and nabbed the 19-year-old man in four feet of water. He advised police that he couldn’t swim.

Saanich police found out the truck was sto-len in Sooke that night. Sgt. Dean Jantzen said the man wasn’t impaired after all, “he was just driving the stolen truck poorly.”

The View Royal man is well known to police and faces charges of possession of stolen property, possession of break-in instruments and a breach of conditional sentence. He was scheduled to appear by telebail Wednesday.

Cognitive scientists have found 20 men and women who can remember what happened

every day of their lives from pre-teens onward.

This among many stud-ies plumbs the mystery of the mind and suggests that humans are smarter than we used to think.

Smart enough, col-lectively, to distribute food, shelter and comfort across the world more fairly and efficiently than it is distributed now.

Tool using is another aspect of human brain-power. Twenty thousand years ago, it was stone axes. Today, computers. Tomorrow, maybe, arti-ficial intelligence.

We now have the electronic tools to mobilize citizen anger against a privileged elite which (some of us believe) has been mismanaging the political economy.

Inventive leadership is another element in the movement for radi-cal social change that has trashed such failed ideas as rigidly central-ized economic planning. It’s leaders are driven by a sense of deprivation and a battery of morally and intel-lectually inspired ideals.

One notable agent of change was Father Jose Maria Arizmen-diarrietta, or Arizmendi for short, the priest who launched the Mon-dragon co-operative movement in the northern part of Spain where the Basque language is spoken.

He arrived in 1941, when Fas-cist dictator Francisco Franco was starving the region of resources and

punishing its people for fighting him in the Span-ish Civil War. Arizmendi stirred five pioneers to create Mondragon as a survival strategy in three parts: a credit union, a technical school and a workshop for manufactur-ing kerosene stoves.

After enormous growth, Mondragon has faults but it guards its structure of economic democracy: one vote for each work-er-owner, some of the

income invested in the well-being of the home region. Pay of managerial workers averages five times higher the lowest worker’s salary, against a reported 350 in the U.S.A.

Mondragon co-operative corpora-tion has become an appliance and high-tech manufacturer, financier, insurer, university educator, gro-cer, trader and exporter employing 100,000 people, with annual sales of 13.9 billion Euros.

It weathered the economic storm well, reduced wages moderately by the owner-workers’ decision, and did not fire anybody except new hires on trial.

The Mondragon story contains this message for Canada’s NDP, which used to call itself the Co-op-erative Commonwealth Federation.

The NDP, with its strengthened official-opposition status in Cana-

da’s House of Commons, and its increased popularity, is now under temptation to bland down into one more Liberal-Conservative party and thereby become the secret friend of the corporate power elite.

Arguably such a move would be like climbing aboard a sinking ship. Anger is rising against a political and economic system that crushes the poor and cushions the rich and powerful.

Barely a hint of that rage in the blogosphere reaches us through the gee-whiz view of the world sup-plied by daily newspapers, radio and television.

In the daily media, suffering appears as entertainment. Blood-shed provides shock and thrills.

Where millions of people are under threat of death from starva-tion, disease, gang violence and war, the glimpses of horror are com-fortably sandwiched between sales pitches for soap, summer drinks and more and more stuff to display in our mortgaged houses.

A chorus of voices on the Inter-net reject this fuzzy popular view-point. How does the NDP stay true to its name as the party of new practical ideas in the Tommy Doug-las tradition while treading carefully to avoid offending the elites? I don’t know how, but I believe the party can achieve the miracle.

The miracle of co-operation

Expenses list good first step

OUR VIEW

Travelling the province is an integral part of an MLA’s job in B.C. We get that.

But when the travel expenses of a minister who lives in the same town as the legislature are third-highest of any government cabinet member — Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development and Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA Ida Chong — it causes us to raise our eyebrows.

The expense information on Chong and other ministers was available — if you knew where to look — prior to the Liberal government’s introduction last week of its DataBC website. But it took the government’s example, that similar information for all B.C. MLAs can now readily be found by the public, for us to take more notice of spending by cabinet ministers.

The increased transparency on MLA spending is a step in the right direction. While the bills chalked up by other Capital Region politicians in their duties as MLAs didn’t raise any red flags, the fact that anyone can now access such information is a better public service.

It’s important also that transparency in government be taken further. B.C. still lags behind other provinces in terms of availability of receipts and other more detailed expense accounts.

Since there is no real watchdog in B.C. for appropriate expenditures by elected representatives, it’s up to the public to keep watch on such things. And it’s also up to the public and taxpayer lobby groups to keep up the pressure on government to open up the accounts to more public scrutiny.

The perception of secrecy in government is one of the key ingredients in a denigration of trust in government. Moving to make the accounting by elected individuals, as well as government as a whole, more transparent is the surest way to gain favour with the electorate.

That’s something current and future administrations in B.C. may wish to take a closer look at as they head toward election time.

LETTERSBring photo radar back to the Malahat

It’s great to hear that a push is on to reduce Malahat woes: lower speeds, grab offenders, save lives.

However, I do wonder how many lost lives and injuries could be attributed to Gordon Campbell’s B.C. Liberal election promise (actually kept) to abolish the photo radar.

I drove that stretch during its pres-ence and slowed down, and I’m sure it was an effective program, both in terms of cost, officer deployment and results. Why not bring that back?

Don WilkesLangford

Feeling the effects of climate change

African famine is something we have been exposed to by the media for most of our lives and so we say: “isn’t that too bad” and go on with our lives.

This time, however, we are looking at a disaster of unprecedented proportions when we look at what is happening in East Africa.

According to estimates by the UN’s World Food Program, as many as 38 mil-lion Africans are living under the threat of starvation, and many will succumb if emergency relief does not reach them in time.

To put that in perspective look at that as being more than the entire popula-tion of Canada and you will get a grasp of the horror of what is happening to the human race in that part of the world.

We really do not have to look that far afield to see the upswing in flooding, fires, droughts, tornados and other natu-ral disasters happening on the North

American continent.Perhaps we could look at it as the

usual situation in our comfortable lives, unless we stop and look at the realities of global warming. The United States and Canada rank No. 2 and No. 7 in carbon dioxide emissions globally. So looking at those stats perhaps we can make a link to our glut of energy consumption and the climatic disasters happening world-wide.

Most scientists accept that CO2 is the problem while less than one per cent question that link.

There are some steps we can take here. First of all, send whatever dona-tions you are able to make for African relief to whatever agencies are involved in alleviating the impact of African fam-ine.

Secondly, take steps to reduce your own energy usage, and third, lobby your MP and your federal government to recognize the disaster that world wide global warming is quickly becoming and to start from the top down to put poli-cies in place to reduce the impact of car-bon fuels.

This is not just a disaster that is hap-pening in a far off place. We on Vancou-ver Island have been extremely fortunate so far, but how far down the road will it be when it will come to us in higher fuel prices, food shortages and natural disas-ters? We all need to do our part, no mat-ter how small.

Treaty can’t put fish back in the sea

Re: A decade on, treaty no panacea, B.C. Views, July 20, 2011.

I am not Nisga’a, but I did live in Gitlaxt’aamiks (New Aiyansh) for nearly

three years. The following are points I have observed or had been told by Nisga’a people:

• The treaty land area is only five per cent of the traditional land area, mak-ing it difficult for Nisga’a to benefit from resource extractive industries in the area. In particular, the current trend to export whole logs from timber areas makes it difficult, if not impossible, to generate “value-added employment” opportunities.

My summer road trip to the B.C. Interior began as soon as the Trans-Canada Highway reopened

at Chilliwack. The crew had worked through the night to clear a mudslide studded with rocks the size of Smart cars, along with a couple of actual cars.

We headed up the historic canyon route from Hope to Yale to Cache Creek, the Fraser River still surging a month after it should have settled back. At Ashcroft, river rafters bravely bobbed on the brown torrent.

The Williams Lake Stampede went ahead between rain show-ers, bull riders benefiting from soft conditions while barrel racers strug-gled.

We drove to Prince George and then Vanderhoof, the geographical centre of B.C., where the Nechako River looked ready to climb out of its banks. As we arrived news came that all this thunder-ing water had done its work, toppling a hydroelectric tower in Surrey, briefly closing the Trans-Canada Highway again.

One family member was unable to come down from Chetwynd for a visit. He was cut off by a staggering 16 wash-outs of Highway 97 north of Prince George in the Pine Pass, which winds through the Hart Range. This stretch of

road has long been a contender for the most extreme mountain conditions in B.C., but one night of torrential rain tore

it up beyond anything seen in my lifetime.

This pass is the only road link from southern B.C. to the vast Northeast. The rains would keep coming around Dawson Creek and Fort St. John, disrupting farms, natu-ral gas development, a coal mine and a wind farm with floods and washouts.

The transportation minis-try and its contractors had a winding track open through the Pine Pass construction zone within days, an amazing

effort to restore essential freight traf-fic into the region that has emerged as B.C.’s main economic engine. But recon-struction will likely take the rest of the summer.

We were back in Victoria by the time the Fraser River finally crested at the Mission gauge after six weeks of high water, its latest peak since 1920.

During the trip, gasoline prices reached a high of $1.31, nudged up slightly by the latest increase in the car-bon tax as well as political turmoil over-seas.

This is B.C.’s largely symbolic nod to the concern that extreme weather

events are accelerating due to huge con-sumption of fossil fuels and emissions of greenhouse gases.

I’ve been careful not to make any sweeping statements about the evolving science of climate change. But the sheer power of recent weather events, and the scars left by bark beetles and fires, are difficult to ignore.

Australia has just taken bolder steps than those of B.C., imposing a carbon tax on the country’s 500 largest carbon emitters. The government proposes to collect the revenues for three years and invest them in renewable energy, transi-tion for coal and steel industries and tax cuts for consumers who will have indus-trial carbon taxes passed on to them in the price of goods.

Then the Australian carbon tax is sup-posed to convert to an emissions trading system designed to push industry into a cleaner future.

B.C.’s carbon tax doesn’t exempt industry as its critics sometimes claim. The tax is imposed on all fuels used in industry, but hasn’t been extended to industrial process emissions.

By far the largest greenhouse gas source in B.C. remains vehicles, at around 40 per cent of the total.

• Because the land area is so small, it is unlikely that Nisga’a will be able to derive any income from royalties from min-ing activities on lands adjacent to the treatied lands.

• Many governments, Canada

included, expect First Nations people to fully fund their social service from the royalties that can be assessed against resource-extractive industries. The small land area, and the fact that the fisheries were over-fished by non-native people in the past, makes this sort of

income unlikely into the future. This funding burden is not placed on the general commu-nity and represents a form of discrimination.

• Governments tend to step in to over-rule or take over negotiations with mining com-panies. This means that any

mining company not willing to pay royalties at the requested rates to First Nations can simply appeal to the provincial and Cana-dian governments. This undermines the point and purpose of a treaty with a sovereign First Nation.

This over-riding of self-determination in the treaty is, in part, a cause of the lowered self-esteem that leads to the welfare men-tality, addiction and dependency problems mentioned in the arti-cle. The treaty denies the Nisga’a access to the resources neces-sary for an indepen-dent economy.

Whilst a lot of money was paid to Nisga’a people, money cannot put the salmon back into the sea.

Victoria’s first foodies featured in new museum book Some colourful characters kept residents fed and watered in city’s formative yearsKyle SlavinNews staff

Well before the savoury flavours of Pig BBQ Joint graced Blanshard Street and before Wannawafel’s sweet Belgian treats could be smelled in the Inner Harbour, Victoria’s relationship with food looked quite different.

That scenario is the subject of a new book co-authored by the Royal B.C. Museum’s manager of human history, Robert Griffin, and museum volunteer Nancy Oke, who spearheaded the project.

“We have quite a food packaging collection. And looking through it, we didn’t know a lot about it,” Grif-fin recalls of the initial discussions eight years ago that prompted the book.

“How do you capture food and

B.C. products? The food’s usually gone or you can’t really save it … So it was an area where the trial tends to disappear really quickly.”

Feeding the Family: 100 Years of Food and Drink in Victoria is an in-depth look at the people, places and products that helped feed the city’s growing population between the 1840s and 1940s.

The project was intriguing and a great learning experience, Griffin says. He and Oke uncovered sto-ries about local butch-ers and shop owners through old newspaper clippings.

“Because the popula-tion was so small, the newspapers covered mostly little local events. So there are written records of a break-in at a store, or when a cart is pushed over the porch of a grocer,” Grif-

fin says. “They’re not huge inci-dents, but it gives you a different perspective and understanding of the way things were and how food

played a role in the city.”One of the pair’s favourite sto-

ries is about butcher Fredrick Reynolds, who was a success-

ful businessman from San Francisco.

Turns out, he was an eccentric U.S. military deserter. He’d answer his door in the nude and he believed people were hid-ing in his house.

“There are lots of bits and pieces that I wasn’t aware of when I started this,” Grif-fin says.

The challenging part was knowing when to stop look-ing for information.

“There’s lots more we could’ve found. There’s lots more out there in the newspapers and in our col-lection,” he says.

Feeding the Family is chock full of stories, anec-dotes, photos and records documenting how Victoria, as a commercial centre for food production and con-sumption, grew with the times.

The book is available at most local bookstores and at the Royal B.C. Museum gift shop.

Benjamin YongSooke News Mirror

Kevin Banner is officially one of the funniest people on the Island. And he just happens to be from Sooke.

Banner won $5,000 in an online viewer poll at Bite.ca as part of a comedy competition called Stand Up & Bite Me, hosted by comic Colin Mochrie.

“I never thought I would get flown out to Toronto,” said Banner, who was accepted into the contest after submitting a 15-minute demo tape. He beat seven competitors for the top prize.

Banner, 28, has been active on the comedy scene in Victoria,

where he is a regular fixture at Hecklers Bar and Grill on Gorge Road, and in Sooke, where he hosts the Stump Ranch Comedy night once a month at Mulligans Bar and Grill.

He’s done 70 or 80 shows so far this year. But the road to success has been a long one.

“I’ve been doing (standup) for six years – I’ve been funny for about 18 months,” he said.

In high school, he wanted to be a professional wrestler. “I went down to California to do a boot camp thing and it hurts. (In com-edy there’s) a lot less folding chairs to worry about.”

Standup was something he always wanted to do, but never

seriously pursued. “The whole thing of writing my own material – I didn’t think it was something I could do.”

Tired of working odd jobs, Banner began calling local pubs and clubs to see if he could perform during open mike nights. At the time, Victoria didn’t have much of a comedy scene, he said.

“It’d be 10 guys doing Jack Johnson and Sublime covers on their acoustic guitars, and then I’d do standup. It was always kind of awkward.”

He started out doing shows at Logan’s Pub

and performing here and there in Sooke. It wasn’t until he got to Hecklers that things started to take off.

About a year and a half ago, the pub began having a monthly ama-teur comedy night. Now it’s fea-tured every second Sunday.

“For the longest time it was just me – I wasn’t learning much, I wasn’t growing much. Hecklers being there has just been monu-mental for that.”

Banner has collaborated with some top Canadian performers – he opened for Alberta funnyman Dan Quinn on New Year’s Eve at Hecklers, and recently had Gra-ham Clark do a show in Sooke.

To follow Banner’s progress or hear him live, visit Stump Ranch Comedy on Facebook or @BAN-NERkevin on Twitter.

A young team of West Shore lacrosse players took home the gold medal at the bantam B lacrosse provin-cials on July 17.

The gold medal game was a head-to-head match between the West Shore lacrosse B1 bantam team and Port Coquitlam, at Pan-orama Recreation Centre.

Each time the West Shore team scored a goal it was matched by the opposition until the score was tied at 3-3. Eventually the Port Coquitlam team could not keep up and the West Shore boys won 5-3.

“It was pretty amazing,” said bantam captain Jake Campbell, 12, from Lang-ford. “We aren’t all star play-ers but we played as a team and passed the ball a lot.”

Even with the team fin-ishing up its season with a bang, Hayden Francis, 13, from Langford said the team had its struggles.

“We didn’t gel as a team until midway through the season,” Francis said add-ing once the team doubled its practices the players grew closer together.

Francis unfortunately suffered a concussion after being checked into the boards during the first game, and had to sit out the rest of the tournament.

Another set back the team found was having only four left-handed players.

Derek Kuhnert, 13, from Colwood, said being a “lefty” allowed him more time on the floor during games. The advantage for the southpaws was to be able to throw the ball from areas of the box that a right-handed player would have more trouble with.

“Left-handers are hard to get (on a team), I don’t know why,” said coach Ken Passfield.

Over the season the team played 14 games, winning nine, losing two and tying three games.

“I was very happy with this group of boys. They

have been improving from Day 1 to the end of the season,” Passfield said. “This is the first time any of these boys have won a gold medal (at provincials).”

Peewee C2 takes bronze in provincials

After conquering the Island championships, the West Shore peewee C2 lacrosse team earned a bronze medal at provin-cials.

The team travelled to Vernon to compete against the top eight- to 12-year-old players in the province.

While returning home with a bronze medal around their necks, some players

were a little disappointed hoping they would have made it farther in the com-petition.

“(A bronze medal) is better than nothing,” said Carter Wood, 10, from Lang-ford.

The team had a diverse group of players. Some had been running with a lacrosse stick for half their lives while other players were freshmen to the sport.

Ethan Howes, 12, from Colwood, towers over his teammates and said he enjoyed his first season in the sport.

“It’s really fun, and I get to hit people,” Howes said.

At the beginning of the season the team didn’t have a coach, which led to a slow start for the season.

Within a couple weeks of the season starting, Mike Jensen took on the respon-sibility as coach.

“This is a really good group of kids and their camaraderie was great,” Jensen said. “I was really impressed.”

The team won the Island championship in Kerry Park when they beat out Nanaimo in overtime on June 26.

At that point in the sea-son, Nanaimo was an unde-feated team, Jensen said.

“This is the best team I’ve ever coached,” he [email protected]

Ads take lead on Jr. ’RocksThe Victoria junior Shamrocks danced

through the first round but this one isn’t so pretty.

Through the first two games of their playoff series against the Coquitlam Adanacs the Victoria Shamrocks have mustered just six goals to the 33 for the Ads.

It’s an unwilling submission by the Shamrocks to the reigning B.C. Junior Lacrosse League and national champi-ons.

Coquitlam won 18-4 at Bear Moun-tain Arena on Saturday and 15 to 2 in Coquitlam on Sunday.

Scoring for the Shamrocks on Sun-day were Brody Eastwood and Jake Emms, with Dane Schoor getting two assists.

Goalie Cody Hagedorn faced 55 Adanac shots. Eastwood, Adam Brown, Shea Wakefield, Blair Pinnock scored in Saturday’s game.

Game 3 of the best-of-five-series is Saturday (July 30) in Coquitlam.

Game 4, if necessary, would return to Bear Mountain Arena, 5 p.m. on Sun-day (July 31).

New Westminster leads Delta 2-0 in the other semifinal on 8-3 and 6-4 wins.

Hockey’s Cougars sign trioWith junior-B training camps only

three weeks away the Victoria Cougars added three midget players to the ros-ter. Cougars’ camp opens Aug. 15 and Nathan Chen-Mack, Kyle Richter, and Trevor Chown should be there.

Coach Mark Van Helvoirt still has a lot of spots to fill but is happy with the recent additions.

Both Chen-Mack and Richter are 17-year-old forwards coming off a season with the South Island Thunder-

birds of B.C.’s Major Midget League. Chown is a defenceman from Calgary’s midget-AAA league.

Highlanders to playoffsThe Victoria Highlanders FC won a

pair of United Soccer League Profes-sional Development League games over the weekend to clinch second place in the Northwest division.

Victoria beat the Kitsap Pumas 1-0 on Saturday and Abbotsford Mariners 3-1 on Sunday and will play the Fresno Fuego in the Western conference semi-final this Saturday. Full story at www.vicnews.com.

Q: Dear BBB,This morning I received a threatening phone call from a man that claimed I had a court action fi led against me. He gave me a legitimate sounding fi le number for the court action as proof. The man claimed that the matter was in regards to a loan of $4000 in my name that I had not paid. He told me, in a rather aggressive tone, that I would be arrested if I did not pay the loan promptly as per the court action. He then proceeded to make a claim that for $250 and my Social Insurance Num-ber, that they could stop the warrant for my arrest. The caller was so threatening and aggressive, I was unnerved, but I was pretty sure that this was a scam of some sort, so I just hung up the phone. Is this a scam? Has anyone else reported something like this? Is there something I should be doing to ensure that there isn’t a court action against me?~ Frightened Friend

A: Frightened Friend,You were RIGHT to assume this caller was a scam artist and to hang up the phone. If you legitimately had a court action fi led against you in regards to an unpaid loan, you would likely have been informed, prior to this phone call, about the mat-ter. They key red fl ags that this is a scam include the aggres-sive approach of the caller, the threat that a warrant for your arrest could be stopped with a payment, and the request for your Social Insurance Number. If you are concerned for some reason that there is an unpaid loan out there in your name, it would be wise to check your credit report (with Equifax or TransUnion) to see if there are any unknown loans on your fi le. I doubt you will fi nd anything suspicious. It is probably more likely that this fraudster was hoping to bully you into giving out personal information for the purposes of identity theft or fi nancial fraud. We have not received other reports lo-cally about this matter, but I am sure the scammer is randomly targeting phone numbers (possibly world wide) in hopes that someone will fall for his threats. Besides informing the BBB it would also be wise for you to inform your local police and to contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (1 (888) 495-8501) to report this.

Self treatmentof tired eyes

If your eyes get tired or infl amed occasionally, taking eye drops to make them feel better may ac-tually increase the risk of future problems.

Your eyes are very precious and delicate. They should never be treated without the advice of your eye care professional. Valuable time may be lost in detecting vision problems if you decide to treat tired or infl amed eyes yourself. It could be that the eye drops feel soothing or you believe washing out your eyes with a home remedy is all you need to relieve a minor eye problem. True, not all infl amed eyes are a sign of something serious, and perhaps the condition will soon alleviate itself. However, any persistent eye problem, even a minor one, should have professional care, as it could be a symptom of something more serious.

You should have your eyes examined regularly, even if you’ve never had a problem in seeing clear-ly. You should have them examined to ensure they remain healthy and function properly.

GIVE THEM A PAPER ROUTE!

SOOKE NEWSMIRROR

A paper route is about so much more than money. These days kids want and need so many things. With a paper route they not only earn the money to

buy those things, they also gain a new respect for themselves. They discover a new sense of confi dence, power and control by having their very own job, making their own money and paying for their own games,

phones and time with friends.

All it takes is an hour or so after school Wednesday and Friday.And even better... there are no collections required.

A military investigation con-tinues after a Canadian subma-rine struck the ocean floor off the west coast of Vancouver Island.

The Canadian Forces launched a board of inquiry less than a week after HMCS Corner Brook, Canada's only opera-tional submarine before the accident, hit bottom on June 4 while on a 12-day advanced submarine officer training exer-cise. Lt.-Cmdr. Paul Sutherland took command of the vessel in May.

Since June 10, the investiga-tion team is taking witness tes-timony and reviewing evidence to determine what led to the collision and who, if anyone, may be at fault, said navy Lt. Heather McDonald, with pub-lic affairs at the Department of National Defence in Ottawa.

“After the investigation is

completed, the results will be reviewed by the chain of com-mand before any public release is considered,” McDonald said.

Boards of inquiry are called when there are serious or com-plex incidents involving the Canadian Forces or a military member.

At the time of the crash, two submariners received minor bruising in the collision. Sixty submariners were on board. They were receiving refresher training in anticipation of their boat achieving full operational status next spring.

Corner Brook was to continue operating at sea for another three weeks, but the board of inquiry began and the boat never returned to the water. Instead, a team of submariners and civilian defence workers began preparing the vessel for extended maintenance next year, said McDonald.

Pre-maintenance work on the sub will continue at CFB

Esquimalt until it is moved to the federal government’s dry-dock across Esquimalt harbour next July, to “provide the Victo-ria-class submarine’s 200-plus systems with the deep main-tenance required to allow the boat to operate for another six years, prior to entering another (maintenance period),” McDon-ald said, adding how long that process will take and how much it will cost isn't known since the amount of work varies vessel to vessel.

Work on each sub must be individually negotiated within a larger 15-year contract of up to $1.5 billion that the Department of National Defence awarded to the Canadian Submarine Man-agement Group in 2008. Victoria Shipyards is a subcontractor on the project.

“Given that submarines are among the most highly complex machines that exist, maintain-ing them is a very complex pro-cess,” McDonald said.

Probe continues into sub crash

Gold! Gold! Gold! It seems like that’s all you hear about nowadays, but

with good reason. “It’s a modern day gold rush”, says Roadshow expert Kevin Dun-can. “Ever since the recession hit in 2008, there’s been a major shift in economic stability. Precious metals have seen a tre-mendous rise in value, with gold trading at record prices and silver climbing close to where it used to be in the early 1980’s.”

Here at the Roadshow we’ve noticed an enormous increase in the amount of gold scrap, gold jewelry, gold coins, silver scrap, silver jewelry, and silver coins that have come into our showrooms. Gold scrap has single-handedly been the most seen item at the Roadshow in the past 12 months. All types of broken jewelry, miss-ing earrings, charm bracelets, and anything gold that’s collecting dust should definitely be brought into the Roadshow!

At one of our shows in British Columbia, a man walked in who was a retired dentist. Throughout his years of practice, he ac-cumulated a jar of gold fillings from his patients who required them to be removed. “The patients never wanted to take them home, so I kept them in a jar, and over the years it turned into a large pile of golden teeth!” , exclaimed dentist Jeffrey Adams. Along with his golden teeth, Dr. Adams brought in some of his wife’s broken and unused jewelry, and was able to walk out of the Roadshow with over $8,000! Not bad for a jar of old teeth and broken necklaces!

During a time where the average house-hold income is living from paycheck to paycheck, now is the best time to come into the Roadshow and exchange some of the old or broken jewelry that’s just sitting around in your drawer, and get paid on the spot for it!
