Two teenagers from Langford have been charged with arson in relation to last week’s fire at Savory elementary.

West Shore RCMP major crimes investiga-tors arrested a 16-year-old male the morning of Sept. 14. He was released and placed on a curfew.

The second suspect, Jordan Deluca, 19, turned himself in at the Western Communities Courthouse on Monday morning after a war-rant was issued for his arrest.

Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz said the suspects were tracked down in part due to information passed on by the community.

“The West Shore RCMP wishes to thank all those concerned citizens who came forward and provided information, allowing us to fur-ther our investigation,” Rochlitz said. “We’re happy. It brings a level of closure to all those displaced by the fire.”

Sooke School District superintendent Jim Cambridge said the quick arrest points to the close co-operation between the district, the Langford fire department and the RCMP.

“It really shows when there are crimes like these, whoever does it gets caught,” Cam-bridge said.

Rochlitz couldn’t say if the young men had attended Savory in the past or had motiva-tions behind allegedly setting the fire.

The fire, called in Sept. 11 at 5:45 a.m., burned through an administrative wing of the 45-year-old elementary school in Langford.

Colwood council has reluctantly agreed to cover the costs of school crossing guards last year after falling short on business sponsors.

Guards at Sangster, Col-wood and David Cameron ele-mentary schools cost about $21,000 per year. Businesses covered all but $3,000 through the City’s “Adopt a Crossing” program during 2010-11.

Last week Colwood council voted unanimously to dip into

its contingency fund to cover the shortfall for last school year and, if necessary, do it again this year.

“The mayor (Dave Saun-ders) and I are actively seek-ing business sponsors,” said Coun. Judith Cullington. “We’re hopeful something will come through so this doesn’t fall to the taxpayers again.”

For 2011-2012, Thrifty Foods has sponsored the crossing guard at Colwood elementary and Shaw Communications gave $7,000 to cover guards for half of the year at the

other two schools. The City needs another $7,000 to cover the remaining cost of the pro-gram.

Several councillors expressed frustration that the responsibility for cross-ing guards doesn’t fall to the Sooke School District.

“The school district has a much larger budget than the City,” Coun. Ernie Robertson lamented. “Their primary responsibility should be for the kids getting to school safe, which includes crossing the street.”

Coun. Gordie Logan said it’s unlikely the school district will change its position on funding the guards anytime soon.

“Other municipalities are up against the same struggle,” he said. “Ultimately this is on our shoulders. We need to (guar-antee the funding) to provide certainty to the parents that there will always be a guard there for their children.”

Lehigh Northwest Materi-als funded all three crossing guards until its gravel mine operation in Royal Bay closed in 2008.

First Blockbuster Video closed its doors, then Rogers Video sold off its stock of DVDs. In the dog-eat-dog world of retail video rent-als, 2 Thumbs Up Video has sud-denly found itself as the sole survi-vor on the West Shore.

Besides a few corner stores offering DVD rentals, the indepen-dent Langford retailer “is the last man standing,” quipped 2 Thumbs Up co-owner Simon Moylan.

Unlike their corporate competi-tion, the owners say business is steady and plenty of people still rent DVDs.

“It’s would be a shame to see the death of the video store,” Moylan says. “It’s close, believe me, but we plan to stick around.”

In the past few years, legal and illegal downloading of movies on the Internet and immediate access to films through cable TV has helped shutter dozens of video outlets across the city.

Amber Sorenson, 2 Thumbs Up manager and eight-year employee, said Internet companies such as Netflix aren’t taking a big bite out of the retail video rentals, but pirated movies do cut into the bottom line — as does the increas-

ingly popular video-on-demand.VOD is practically a dirty word

among the 2 Thumbs Up owners, but they compete by renting new release videos at a lower price than what is piped through Shaw or Telus. As a point of pride, they also give clients plenty of slack when it comes to late fees.

“We’re flexible. We want to be a neighbourhood video store people want to come to,” says Ross Young the other owner of 2 Thumbs Up. “We understand people are our bread and butter. If they are good to us, we are good to them.”

With more options to access movie content at home, fewer peo-ple are venturing out to rent DVDs, a trend that shows no sign of reversing. Sorenson says rapid res-idential growth on the West Shore helps balance out that trend.

“Even before Rogers and Block-buster closed, we had lots of loyal customers,” she said. “A lot of people I have personally seen grow up, they’ve come here since they were kids.”

“There are a lot of older custom-ers not plugged into the Internet, and they don’t want to be,” Young pointed out. “Some people have bought expensive home entertain-ment systems and worry there won’t be DVDs anymore.”

High speed, high bandwidth Internet and online distribution services have helped hollow out the retail video industry, but Royal Roads University communications professor David Black says the cor-porate economic model was pretty poor to begin with.

Big chains focused on pushing new Hollywood releases, which is only viable with a significant time lag between a video release to retailers and other players in the film distribution food chain. When that gap disappeared and custom-ers didn’t have to suffer often rigid and unsympathetic policies on late fees, the big chains quickly unrav-elled.

And where most people wouldn’t shoplift a DVD, Black says the online digitization of mov-ies and music has created expecta-

tions of free and easily accessible content — and a tolerance for ille-gal downloading.

“Once something is digitized, it’s not seen as attached to an economic transaction,” Black says. “When people no longer see a material form, they say ‘why should we pay for it?’”

He expects small video retailers to survive if they can carve out a niche for film buffs.

“When video stores disap-pear, people see the new media economy manifested directly. But peoples’ appetite for video content is very strong. They will find ways to get it, Blockbuster or not.

“The independents that survive have the advantage of being a place people want to go to,” Black adds. “Browsing DVDs and talking to staff, you get an informal film education, which you lose if every-thing is piped directly to us.”

The owners of 2 Thumbs Up say they don’t revel in the competi-tion closing their doors, but it has helped bring in more customers.

“It’s never good to see anyone close. The people losing their jobs are young guys,” Young says. “As long as people keep coming, we aren’t shutting down. We’ve got six people working here. This is their livelihood.”

2 Thumbs Up Video owners Simon Moylan and Ross Young, with manager Amber Sorenson, say their store is surviving just fine, despite heavy competition from the Internet and video-on-demand.

COMMUNITYNEWSIN BRIEF

Plea delayed for driving death

The wheels of justice are turning slowly for the Can-ada Day death of a motor-cyclist in Langford.

An expected plea last week by Tracy Smith has been delayed for another few weeks, after Crown counsel said it hadsn’t received the complete evi-dence package from the RCMP, now expected by this week.

The next hearing is Sept. 22, although defence law-yer Robert Jones said he’ll need more time to review the Crown’s evidence before entering a plea.

“By Thursday (Crown) will tell me if they’ll stay with the present charges, whether there will be a variation or if they’ll add charges,” Jones said. “But there won’t be a plea (this) week. I’ll need time to review the material with my client.”

Smith, 35, of Victoria is charged with dangerous driving causing death and impaired driving caus-ing death, in the death of motorcyclist Janarthan Mahenthiran.

Mahenthiran, 47, died when a oncoming Lexus crossed the line and hit his Yamaha FZ-1 head-on on the Trans-Canada Highway near the Spencer inter-change. The southbound vehicle plowed into him around 12:20 p.m. on July 1.

Smith is being housed in an addictions recovery centre in Surrey.

Solid turnout for Terry Fox run

The West Shore Terry Fox run saw its most suc-cessful turnout in years on Sunday.

The 17th annual run at West Shore Parks and Recreation drew 101 par-ticipants for the 2.5 or 10 kilometre run and raised nearly $4,000, said orga-nizer Courntney Hill.

Proceeds are going to the Terry Fox Foundation. See www.terryfox.org.

The lights in Gillian Carrigan’s office used to be twice as bright as they needed to be.

A free energy assessment by the non-profit City Green Solu-tions recommended the simple, no-cost solution of removing half the florescent tubes from ceiling lighting panels.

It was an easy adjustment for Carrigan and her colleagues at Boulevard Transportation Group in Langford.

“It feels better in here with less florescent light,” said Carri-gan, general manager and envi-ronmental consultant for the transportation planning com-pany. “It’s the type of thing you don’t realize is a problem until it’s not there anymore.”

As an added benefit, the com-pany also reduced its energy bill — which is what City Green is out to help other small and medium sized businesses do through a provincially-funded program that subsidizes the full cost of energy assessments to private companies that spend less than $50,000 per year on electricity.

“It’s been a rough couple years for business, and this is a way they can save some money,” said Peter Sundberg, executive director of City Green Solutions. “Typically every office space has something that can change to be more energy efficient.”

The assessment, which takes about an hour, will look at light-ing, heating, hot water use and refrigeration. Where retrofits are recommended, an assessment report will include information for government subsidies that will help offset the cost, and give an esti-mate for the payback period.

If, for example, Boulevard wanted to replace its 32 watt lighting tubes with 25 watt tubes, its assess-ment said the provin-cial government would cover a third of the cost and the project would pay for itself through energy savings in less than four years.

The report also gives a list of approved dis-tributers for the prod-ucts it suggests and, if needed, contractors to install them.

“We try to make it as easy as possible for the business,” Sundberg said.

Since the program launched in June, City

Green has assessed 24 busi-nesses in Greater Victoria, and it aims to have 150 done by

March 2012.For more information, see

A Langford teenager fresh out of high school is looking to land his first job as a Langford councillor.

Grant McLachlan, an 18-year-old who graduated from Bel-mont secondary in June, plans to run for a Langford council seat in the Nov. 19 municipal election.

“Through my years in Spen-cer (middle school) and in high school, I’ve seen a lot of changes in Langford,” he said. “Some I agree with, some I don’t.”

McLachlan said he’s focusing on bringing a more aggressive environmental sensibility to council when gauging the mer-its of property development. He’s also advocating that Lang-ford adopting a “living wage” policy, and he wants to be a voice for youth on council.

“I opposed to development that damages ecosystems,” McLachlan said. “I want to see an environmentally responsible

growth plan in Langford.”A young man who lives and

breathes politics, McLachlan volunteered on NDP MLA John Horgan’s 2009 provincial cam-paign and NDP MP Randall Garrison’s 2011 federal NDP campaign. Those campaigns solidified his desire to enter the political arena.

“I learned how to talk to vot-

ers, how to engage,” he said. “And I learned a lot of progres-sive policies from Horgan.”

His first attempt at wooing voters was running for vale-dictorian at Belmont this year. He didn’t win, but said it was a good experience. “(November’s) election is a bit more impor-tant,” he said.

McLachlan said he hopes voters don’t dwell on his age, but stay focused on issues affecting the city where he was raised. But he does hope a young candidate will help pique the interest of young vot-ers, many who usually ignore municipal politics.

“I’m hoping to win young people over and increase the

voter turnout,” he said. “I’ve been involved in politics for three years. I know the political process, and I’m ready to bring change to Langford.”

A security alarm had been triggered at the school two hours earlier.

The fire caused less than $50,000 in dam-age, but the school will likely be closed for the rest of the month.

About 175 students from kindergarten to Grade 6 have been relocated to tempo-rary classrooms at nearby Crystal View and Happy Valley ele-mentary schools while Savory is cleaned and repaired.

Savory elementary was last hit by arson in 1992.

A Langford teenager fresh out of high school is looking to land his first job as a Langford councillor.

Grant McLachlan, an 18-year-old who graduated from Bel-mont secondary in June, plans to run for a Langford council seat in the Nov. 19 municipal election.

“Through my years in Spen-cer (middle school) and in high school, I’ve seen a lot of changes in Langford,” he said. “Some I agree with, some I don’t.”

McLachlan said he’s focusing on bringing a more aggressive environmental sensibility to council when gauging the mer-its of property development. He’s also advocating that Lang-ford adopting a “living wage” policy, and he wants to be a voice for youth on council.

“I opposed to development that damages ecosystems,” McLachlan said. “I want to see an environmentally responsible

growth plan in Langford.”A young man who lives and

breathes politics, McLachlan volunteered on NDP MLA John Horgan’s 2009 provincial cam-paign and NDP MP Randall Garrison’s 2011 federal NDP campaign. Those campaigns solidified his desire to enter the political arena.

“I learned how to talk to vot-

ers, how to engage,” he said. “And I learned a lot of progres-sive policies from Horgan.”

His first attempt at wooing voters was running for vale-dictorian at Belmont this year. He didn’t win, but said it was a good experience. “(November’s) election is a bit more impor-tant,” he said.

McLachlan said he hopes voters don’t dwell on his age, but stay focused on issues affecting the city where he was raised. But he does hope a young candidate will help pique the interest of young vot-ers, many who usually ignore municipal politics.

“I’m hoping to win young people over and increase the

voter turnout,” he said. “I’ve been involved in politics for three years. I know the political process, and I’m ready to bring change to Langford.”

Even with a population of 250 million people, find-ing female extreme athletes within conservative and tra-ditional Indonesia is no easy task. West Shore filmmaker Darcy Turenne found the toughest five.

A 27-year-old professional mountain biker and former TV host, Turenne spent the beginning of the year living among young women and girls who dared become risk-taking athletes.

The Eighth Parallel was Turenne’s first shot at a fea-ture documentary, and it also doubles as her thesis for her masters in intercultural and international communication at Royal Roads University.

“It’s about how to nego-tiate being an athlete in a traditional, male dominated society,” Turenne says. “They broke free of the stereotype.”

Turenne originally had visions of travelling to Afghanistan to inter-view women who par-ticipate in athletics within a rigid, highly conservative society.

“I really wanted to follow a women’s box-ing team,” she says. Indonesia seemed a wiser route in terms of safety and sources.

“Indonesia is a male dominated Muslim country, but it’s a good mix of safety, sports culture and is still traditional,” she said. “There’s a lot more freedom of movement (than Afghanistan).”

She scoured action sports blogs and com-petition websites to eventually track down five females who fit the bill — 17-year-old Rin and 15-year-old Lasti Riantini are rock climbers; 25-year-old Jasmine Tiara Haskrell competition surfs; 30-year-old Risa Suse-anty races mountain bikes; and 12-year-old Kirana Anastasua races motocross.

A few other Indone-sian female extreme athletes exist, but not many. “These were the five women who were most hardcore,” Turenne says.

Over two months in January and February on the islands of Bali and Java and armed only with a Canon D7 camera, one by one she documented how

the women navigated their athletic lives against demands of society and tradition.

The families welcomed her into their homes and encour-aged their daughters to talk

openly about their athletic passions. “Each girl had a different story. I connected with all of them in different ways,” Turenne says, “But the main theme, other than the

challenge, was that usually a male family member was connected to the sport. If a family member is in the sport, that might transcend to the daughter.”

Turenne’s The Eight Paral-lel is part of the body of work generated under the RRU’s Canada research chair in innovative learning and pub-lic ethnography, which in a nutshell is cultural analysis through storytelling.

“Royal Roads gave me the freedom to dive into a world I wouldn’t have been able to otherwise,” Turenne says. “They left the door open to be creative with research. It’s a theory-based program, but it allows research that con-nects with regular society.”

Turenne has submitted The Eighth Parallel to the Victoria Film Festival, among a number of festivals, and is earning a reputation as an up-and-coming documentary filmmaker.

In August she shot a film in Rwanda for the Coca-Cola company, which sponsored a contest linked to women fuelling change in their com-munities. She described Rwanda as “shockingly clean

Pro mountain biker goes behind the lensand safe.” On a trip to Los Angeles, Turenne created and directed a music video for a band called Risers, after put-ting out a contest for a free video shoot on the Internet.

“I didn’t know I

wanted to be a film-maker until I started doing it.”

Three quarters of British Columbians who die, do so without specialized pal-liative care such as pain management, social support or advance care planning.

That statistic, released by the Cana-dian Institute for Health Information, forms the basis of the Initiative for a Pal-liative Approach in Nursing: Evidence & Leadership (iPANEL). It’s a project aimed at relieving some of the stresses associ-ated with coming to the end of life.

“There are very few things that are more distressing to nurses than caring for people who are dying and in dis-tress,” said Kelli Stajduhar, associate professor in the University of Victoria School of Nursing and Centre on Aging,

the co-leader of the initiative. “Nobody in the health system wants to see people in distress when they’re dying.”

IPANEL is for nurses by nurses, intended to promote quality end of life care for any person dying, regardless of diagnoses and whether treatment takes place at home or in a hospital.

The initiative began in January and will include several research projects over the next four years, including an upcoming nurses survey and a public education component.

The key focus, Stajduhar says, is iden-tifying these patients who could benefit from a palliative approach, which cen-tres on conversations with patients and their families about patient needs and wishes, comfort measures, cultural or spiritual concerns, as well as provision

for death and care after death.“We hope to open up the space for

people in our province to begin talking more openly about what’s coming down the road for them,” she said.

“If we could get people actually doing advanced care planning, actually sitting down with their parents or children and saying these are the kinds of things that I’m thinking about ... we’d be so much further along in getting people to have (better) deaths then we are right now.”

Researchers from health authorities across the province have partnered with the Ministry of Health for iPANEL, funded by an $800,000 Michael Smith B.C. Nurs-ing Research Initiative Team Award.

“This is of importance to everybody. If you haven’t known anyone who’s died, you will. That’s a certain thing in life.”

More of Greater Victoria’s needy will have access to subsi-dized bus fares.

Members of the Victoria Regional Transit Commission agreed to temporarily boost the number of subsidized tickets and monthly passes it provides to the Community Social Plan-ning Council.

The increase will allow BC Transit to provide a 25-per-cent increase in the number of fares

it allocates through its transit assistance program to non-profit social service agencies, at a cost of two for the price of one.

It’s the second time this year the commission has approved a hike to BC Transit’s assistance program, driven by a growing need for transit services and more social service organiza-tions in Greater Victoria rais-ing funds to buy tickets and passes, said Maureen Sheehan, BC Transit director of business services.

Without the increase, the council expected to run out of subsidized fares by the end of March 2012, despite the com-mission decision in May to increase the allotment from 90,000 to 112,000 tickets and from 800 to 1,000 monthly passes.

From now until next March, 135,000 tickets and 1,200 monthly passes will be allo-cated.

“There’s a huge need for it,” said transit commission chair Christopher Causton.

In a scene straight out of a classroom, Manuel Achadinha grabbed a marker and headed for the whiteboard at the front of the room.

Members of the Victoria Regional Transit Com-mission and BC Transit staff watched the morn-ing of Sept. 13 as BC Transit’s president and chief development officer drew three lines on the board, accompanied by a few key words, to plot out steps in the proposed $950-million light-rail rapid transit project.

That’s when mem-bers learned the LRT business report, now in the hands of B.C.’s Ministry of Trans-portation, cost $3.1 million, which has already been spent by the ministry and the commission.

“It’s basically an application to get in the door,” said Achadinha, noting the report is a critical step in getting the province onboard as a light rail cost-sharing part-ner, which, in turn, could help BC Transit secure federal financial support.

The next phase of the LRT project, which has not yet begun, will feature the development of a $5-million business case that will include legal, engineering, accounting and other project details. In addition to divvying up that cost between the commission and the province, BC Transit hopes the federal government will contribute.

A third-party review will be conducted during that phase.

But some commission members balked when they heard the tally of the paperwork costs.

Saanich Coun. Susan Brice, who sits at the com-mission table, called their reaction to the news “sticker shock.”

Commission members and taxpayers should not be finding out about expensive LRT reports during a whiteboard lesson, said Victoria Coun. John Luton, who sits at the commission table.

“It’s not fair,” he said. “I understand and share the frustration. But for me, it’s like how do we work through this rather than get indignant and walk away.”

This is a reminder of how imperative it is that the LRT numbers be in the public domain, so tax-payers remain confident in the rapid-transit plan and the process, Luton said.

It also highlights the need for a new transit governance authority, said Vic-toria Mayor Dean Fortin, who serves on the commission. The push is on for the Capital Regional District to take over from the commission.

“I think there are some decisions being made at the BC Transit board that should be shared with the commission members, and preferably before the decisions are being made,” he said.

Frank Leonard couldn’t contain his

disappointment and growing frustration at the meeting.

The commission was told in 2008 the report would cost $700,000 to $800,000, not $3.1 million, said the Saanich mayor and commission member.

Since the expenses only came to light last week, he said it points to the need for more transparency in the way BC Transit does business.

“It’s like dealing with the Wizard of Oz,” Leonard said. “It’s all behind the

curtain. There’s no transparency.”Despite the hefty price tags, it’s impor-

tant to keep those report costs in per-spective, said Oak Bay Mayor and com-mission chair, Christopher Causton.

While Causton said the $7.1-million cost of planning a billion-dollar LRT service is expensive, it’s comparable to other big-ticket regional items.

“You’ve spent $10 million on a billion-dollar sewage treatment plan,” he said.

Changes in Your Vision

You may fi nd it disturbing if you are not seeing things as clearly and sharply as you used to, but as people get older, certain changes in their vision will occur. For example, the pupils of the eyes tend to become smaller, and the crystalline lenses inside the eyes become less clear. You may need more light to see and read comfortably.

The decrease in clarity of the crystalline lenses tends to scatter the light entering the eye. This can sometimes cause a fogging of vision or a decreased tolerance to bright headlight glare. As people age the eyes’ focusing ability decreases and it may become more diffi cult to change focus from distant to near objects and vice versa. These are just a few of the changes in your eyes that may be interfering with your ability to see well and comfortably.

If you are experiencing any of these changes in your eyes or if you have other vision problems you feel need attention, have your eyes examined by your Optometrist.

City of LangfordNotice of Revitalization Tax Exemption Bylaw No. 1346

Take notice that the Council of the City of Langford intends to adopt City of Langford Revitalization Tax Exemption Bylaw No. 1346.

The City of Langford is committed to delivering newer forms of housing and increasing the rental housing stock in the community. The goals of the revitalization tax exemption program established by this Bylaw are to:

a) Build inclusive neighbourhoods and encourage residential investment and increase density in the City Centre;

b) Provide affordable housing options that meet the needs of a diversity of income groups by supporting a mix of housing types and tenures; and

c) Increase the rental housing stock and encourage the construc tion of new purpose-built rental housing in the City Centre.

The tax revitalization tax exemption program established by this bylaw is intended to be an incentive to encourage the construction of higher density rental housing in the form of in ll development in the City Centre.

To be eligible for a tax exemption under the program the owner must enter into a Housing Agreement with the City requiring that the housing is constructed by building permit issued in 2009, and at the framing stage within 6 months of building permit being issued, that the rental housing will be in the form of multi-family apartment housing, with a minimum density of 1.0 Floor Space Ratio and a minimum number of units per building of 10, and the units will be rented to members of the general public for a period of not less than 10 years.

The amount of the exemption is 100% of the assessed value of improvements on the parcel and the maximum term is 10 years.The purpose of the Revitalization Tax Exemption Bylaw is to exempt 100% of improvements from municipal property taxes imposed un-der section 197(1)(a) of the Community Charter on property located at 906 Brock Avenue legally described as: Lots: 1-57, Plan VIS7064, Section 112, Esquimalt District

The tax exemption granted under the Revitalization Tax Exemption Bylaw is for a period of 10 years, 2012 through 2021 inclusive.The amounts of exempted taxes that would be imposed on the property in the rst three years of the Revitalization Tax Exemption Program are estimated to be:

2012 2013 2014 $7,993 $8,153 $8,316

Any person who wishes to review a copy of the proposed Revitaliza-tion Tax Exemption Bylaw may do so by contacting:

Some words are so boring that they lull you to sleep. “Multi-culturalism” is one. It sounds

like a long yawn. Political voices — Ger-

many’s Angela Merkel; Britain’s David Cameron; Angelo Persichilli, Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s director of communica-tions — chant in chorus that “multiculturalism has failed.”

Is that sleep-making talk as empty as it seems? Could there be a reason-able message hidden in it?

What is multicultural-ism? How has it failed? “Culture” in its widest sense means a way of life, language, food, family structure, government, economy, law, educa-tion, religions and political expres-sion.

Culture means all “learned, shared and patterned behaviour.” You can’t put the whole bundle on display. So multicultural festivals offer a token show of ethnic food and folk-dancing.

Artists and their fans and media allies cloud the foggy political arena even further, by using “culture” to mean “arts and scholarship.” Couldn’t we steal a word from another language to sort out the two meanings, and improve the vis-ibility?

Partisan politicians — despite their slogans that smell more like anti-immigrant vote-canvassing than serious attempts to build policy — must know they are wrong when they say varied lifestyles can not co-exist. Alternative lifestyles do pros-

per, in Canada and other countries. Hutterites are an example. Their

communal, team-enterprise farm settlements, driven by shared religious faith, proved so economically successful that they fright-ened non-Hutterites into enacting laws to block what the outsiders saw as the threat of increasing Hutterite numbers and land takeovers.

The restrictive rules were later cancelled. But now the fear of Islam has replaced last century’s anxiety about such orga-nized social dropouts as

the Hutterites. But a commonsense answer to “multiculturalism is dead” advocates seems possible.

Old-timers from Duncan may remember the school at the foot of Hospital Hill where Japanese-Canadian kids gathered after hours to learn and conserve Japanese lan-guage and traditions.

That organized cherishing by expatriates of their former home-land may throw light on our “multi-cultural” puzzle.

Japanese society back then was the reverse of multicultural. It still is politely and firmly Japanese. Before the war, according to my sketchy knowledge, there were three minori-ties: an outlying group who spoke a variant of the Japanese language, a socially depressed underclass whose ancestors had engaged in “polluting” occupations, and the indigenous Ainu people, who were being pushed into more and more remote locations.

Add a few foreign workers, and

you have the uniform Japanese model of an industrial society — night-and-day different from the many-stranded Euro-American ver-sion.

I doubt that many people cared about those facts when they heard about Duncan’s Japanese school.

They might have worried if they had given thought to Japan’s rigidly unequal society and its old military tradition, which licensed a samurai to strike a social inferior with his sword if the lower-status person insulted his honour.

But the group of Japanese expa-triates in B.C. did not follow the cultural pattern of the homeland, except in one respect. They were scrupulously law-abiding, hard working, thrifty, ingenious and loyal to extended family.

They built a big stake in farming and fishing — which was sold at giveaway prices when Japanese-Ca-nadians were pushed into wartime concentration camps.

The principle that jumps out of the Japanese-Canadian experience is that cultural systems are living, changing things. They adapt to cir-cumstances.

And Islamic culture can also change as Muslim newcomers feel out their place in Canada. The threats that “multiculturalism-is-dead” people see in Muslim immi-gration may be imaginary.

But maybe we can’t take that adaptive change on faith. Maybe we should launch a deep inquiry into immigration policy, starting now.

G.E. MortimoreThink About It

End-of-life care needs attentionFear of death and dying is common in

western culture.Even the word “died” as a way to

describe the act of ceasing life as we know it, has been watered down to more gentle phrases such as passed away, perished or crossed over. Those words indicate our desire to ease a person’s path from life to death.

It’s ironic, then, that in British Columbia we put relatively little money into making a person’s final days and weeks more comfortable.

According to a national health information study, a majority of dying people in this province are not receiving an appropriate level of care, whether it be proper pain management, social support or help with post-mortem planning.

Caring enough to help a dying person have a more peaceful and respectful end of life is least we can do as a society.

It should be noted that dying isn’t reserved for the elderly, as anyone can attest who reads obituary columns or has experienced someone close battling terminal cancer.

Through the program Initiative for a Palliative Approach in Nursing: Evidence and Leadership (iPANEL), B.C. nurses and the University of Victoria Centre for Aging are teaming up to figure out how appropriate end-of-life care can be provided to more people in B.C. no matter where they are.

The provincial health budget is massive and is expected to grow, given our aging population. And some of that budget goes to hospice facilities around the province.

But not everyone wants to die at hospice, where the staff are knowledgeable and compassionate, yet the atmosphere can seem much like a hospital ward.

It’ll be up to the provincial government to determine whether iPANEL’s goal of making end-of-life care more far-reaching deserves more funding. But B.C. residents are worth it.

More health dollars needed for the dying

LETTERSRejection of JDF resort not rational

Congratulations to the envi-ronmental groupies who were bused to Sooke three nights in a row to sound off on their oppo-sition to the proposed resort near Juan de Fuca Provincial Park.

Their rants have convinced three CRD directors to change their opinion and vote against the resort proposal. The sad part is most of the speakers there weren’t even from the Juan de Fuca electoral area and most look like they haven’t been in a tent for 40 years.

The developer, who has slogged through their mis-guided verbal and written com-munications for two and a half years, will probably move to Plan B — resource manage-ment. That’s a fancy term for logging the entire property. Then the eco-groupies can get bused out to that area to rant about how the current land-scape looks a lot like the moon.

Not everyone wants to park their butt in a tent on the cold hard ground.

I for one would have loved to rent a cabin at the proposed resort and enjoy a weekend there with my wife and our dogs.

Lesson learned. Rational folk have to get as organized as the eco-fringe element.

Cars are urban predators for deer

Re: Region a predator-free spa for deer, Letters, Sept. 14, 2011.

In his letter Todd Stewart says “cars are not predators.” The reality is cars and other motor vehicles probably kill and maim more wild animals than any predator.

And the damage is not con-fined to urban areas. Drive any highway in this country and you will find dead animals lying along the road. Even parks offer little protection.

I recall passing a dead black bear lying on the edge of the highway in Jasper National Park. A short distance ahead the driver of a semi was check-ing his vehicle for damage.

The death and injury inflicted on animals by motor vehicles is a serious issue.

Latoria a poor place for highrise

Re: Highrise project proposed near Latoria, News, Sept. 7, 2011.

It is difficult to picture a poorer location for a proposed 189-suite tower than on the northeast corner of Latoria Road and Veterans Memorial Parkway.

There is no regular bus ser-vice at all, shopping is non-exis-tent, but Colwood council gave initial approval for this applica-tion, which increases the den-sity to a max of 152 units per hectare (plus 26 per cent from agriculturally zoned land).

I feel that council had already made their decision before the planning committee (which was held during the summer when many residents were away on holidays).

A thank you goes to council-lor Cynthia Day, who accurately reflected the feelings of those who will be adversely affected by this massive tower. Even the developer’s architect called this building an “urban wall.”

This is an obvious case of this council’s desire for the almighty tax dollars, no matter the cost to neighbouring residents. Is there any project that would not be approved by this current council?

We look forward to voting in the next election.

Three years of tax gouging in Colwood

Re: Civic elections about com-munity, Our View, Sept. 14, 2011.

Whomever penned this piece obviously does not have a clue about what has actually been happening on the ground in Col-wood the past three years.

Rather, someone in your orga-nization seems to want to con-tinue to wrongly portray that the past three years have been a heroic exercise to slay drag-ons of the past.

This completely obfuscates the truth, because the previ-ous three years have added to any angst over prior years governance in a variety of ways, chiefly through misguided coun-cil priorities.

Previous councils in Colwood did not raise taxes 30 per cent in three years including other fees and taxes. Only two sitting council members voted against these absurdly high tax gouges the past three years.

This council had choices to make. Rather than cut red tape and bureaucracy in a time of a bad economy, they chose to inflate it with excessive prop-erty taxation.

Executive hirings, studies and experimentation into the green economy, while adding new costs to new business and construction investment, also prevented new funds from com-ing in to repair roads and foster new beautification and other infrastructure upgrades to the extent council could have.

As is clear for the eyes to see in another community next door, these things can con-tinue to be achieved with the right leadership and approach, despite the challenged econom-ics of recent times.

The net result of the policies of the past three years will be

realized in the hands of the new council. Will their excuse for their policies and decisions be “cleaning up messes from previ-ous administrations?”

Halibut closure unfair to locals

Last month’s announcement of a shut-down of recreational fishing is terrible news for coastal communities.

Our company operates a number of businesses on the coast of British Columbia, including sports fishing resorts and marinas. Several of these businesses will be severely impacted by this closure.

Our employees will soon be dealing with guests that are unable to fulfill their plans to fish halibut, guests that in many cases travelled from great distances, at great expense, to have that experience.

We’re also dealing with cancellations. We’ll no doubt be cutting back staffing levels accordingly, resulting in a ripple effect of lost economic activity for these communities where our employees live, work and spend money.

In difficult economic times, the results of Department of Fisheries and Oceans policy are completely contradictory to the government of Canada’s attempts to provide economic stimulus.

It’s quite simple. The recreational sector, based on its contribution to the economy of Canada, needs more than 12 per cent of the allowable catch.

We are by no means advocating higher catch limits than what is prescribed at the beginning of each fishing season for halibut. We just need a bigger slice of the pie to stay in business.

Some words are so boring that they lull you to sleep. “Multi-culturalism” is one. It sounds

like a long yawn. Political voices — Ger-

many’s Angela Merkel; Britain’s David Cameron; Angelo Persichilli, Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s director of communica-tions — chant in chorus that “multiculturalism has failed.”

Is that sleep-making talk as empty as it seems? Could there be a reason-able message hidden in it?

What is multicultural-ism? How has it failed? “Culture” in its widest sense means a way of life, language, food, family structure, government, economy, law, educa-tion, religions and political expres-sion.

Culture means all “learned, shared and patterned behaviour.” You can’t put the whole bundle on display. So multicultural festivals offer a token show of ethnic food and folk-dancing.

Artists and their fans and media allies cloud the foggy political arena even further, by using “culture” to mean “arts and scholarship.” Couldn’t we steal a word from another language to sort out the two meanings, and improve the vis-ibility?

Partisan politicians — despite their slogans that smell more like anti-immigrant vote-canvassing than serious attempts to build policy — must know they are wrong when they say varied lifestyles can not co-exist. Alternative lifestyles do pros-

per, in Canada and other countries. Hutterites are an example. Their

communal, team-enterprise farm settlements, driven by shared religious faith, proved so economically successful that they fright-ened non-Hutterites into enacting laws to block what the outsiders saw as the threat of increasing Hutterite numbers and land takeovers.

The restrictive rules were later cancelled. But now the fear of Islam has replaced last century’s anxiety about such orga-nized social dropouts as

the Hutterites. But a commonsense answer to “multiculturalism is dead” advocates seems possible.

Old-timers from Duncan may remember the school at the foot of Hospital Hill where Japanese-Canadian kids gathered after hours to learn and conserve Japanese lan-guage and traditions.

That organized cherishing by expatriates of their former home-land may throw light on our “multi-cultural” puzzle.

Japanese society back then was the reverse of multicultural. It still is politely and firmly Japanese. Before the war, according to my sketchy knowledge, there were three minori-ties: an outlying group who spoke a variant of the Japanese language, a socially depressed underclass whose ancestors had engaged in “polluting” occupations, and the indigenous Ainu people, who were being pushed into more and more remote locations.

Add a few foreign workers, and

you have the uniform Japanese model of an industrial society — night-and-day different from the many-stranded Euro-American ver-sion.

I doubt that many people cared about those facts when they heard about Duncan’s Japanese school.

They might have worried if they had given thought to Japan’s rigidly unequal society and its old military tradition, which licensed a samurai to strike a social inferior with his sword if the lower-status person insulted his honour.

But the group of Japanese expa-triates in B.C. did not follow the cultural pattern of the homeland, except in one respect. They were scrupulously law-abiding, hard working, thrifty, ingenious and loyal to extended family.

They built a big stake in farming and fishing — which was sold at giveaway prices when Japanese-Ca-nadians were pushed into wartime concentration camps.

The principle that jumps out of the Japanese-Canadian experience is that cultural systems are living, changing things. They adapt to cir-cumstances.

And Islamic culture can also change as Muslim newcomers feel out their place in Canada. The threats that “multiculturalism-is-dead” people see in Muslim immi-gration may be imaginary.

But maybe we can’t take that adaptive change on faith. Maybe we should launch a deep inquiry into immigration policy, starting now.

More health dollars needed for the dying


Our friends in the commercial sector will also argue that they need to make a living. We wholeheartedly agree. Unfortunately, what has occurred by the protection of this halibut quota is that the quota holders are literally making hundreds of thousands of dollars selling their quota (which was acquired for free) every year.

Less than one third of these quota holders actually fish.

So in truth, DFO is really protecting big business and quota traders, not the livelihoods of commercial fishermen.

If things don’t change, how could we interpret a perpetuation of the existing halibut allocation policy to be anything other than DFO being influenced more by big business and quota traders than by the economic and social needs of thousands in coastal communities?

Then there’s DFO’s “experimental fishery,” which is essentially the recreational sector paying big business and quota traders for a right to catch some of their “gifted” halibut quota.

Surely DFO can’t be serious?Lanny Sawchuk

Heggen cartoon hits the mark

Ole Heggen (Opinion, Sept. 9) has done it again.

His brilliant cartoon, Notable Moments: Former B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell, deftly

summarizes many of the highlights of Campbell’s career including tearing up health workers’ legally binding contracts, being arrested for impaired driving and imposing the HST — followed by receipt of the Order of B.C.

Perhaps the sale of B.C. Rail — after promising not to sell the W.A.C. Bennett legacy — is another clanger that one might add.

Perhaps Heggen could produce another cartoon along the lines of the Monty Python “Confuse a Cat” skit regarding Premier Christy Clark and the B.C. Liberals as the “Confuse a Cat” Ltd. — and the B.C. public as the cat that eventually walks away in disgust at the bizarre performance of the Liberals.

Or how about Clark as an Olympic diver who perfects a double flip-flop with a twist including her families-first cliche and her various “fixes” of the HST?

Surely Clark is the queen of flip-flops who claimed for six months she needed a mandate as premier, and now ignores her previous position as support for Adrian Dix and the New Democrats grows.

They’ve biked 140 kilometres, up to the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory and through Jordan River. But that’s nothing compared to cycling the monstrous Mount Washington – at least for Mary Brigham.

“Mount Washington was the hardest,” said Brigham, a corporal with CFB Esquimalt’s Military Police Unit. “That was pretty intense. It’s straight uphill, absolutely. It took us under two hours to do it, so we did really well as a team.”

Twenty-one riders – 18 officers and three media members – have altered their lifestyle as they train for what could be the toughest ride of their lives – 1,000 kilometres of Island hills and valleys from Port Alice to Victoria.

The riders come into the train-ing with varying levels of fitness, said head trainer Rob McDonald, a Saanich police officer.

“Some people have never been

on a bike before, some people have quite a history of biking,” he said. “Because it’s so gradual, every-body does really well. The training program is not a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants thing. It’s taken a long time to develop and we tweak it as we go.”

The ride’s team of trainers take care of the fitness aspect, but nutri-tionists, physiotherapists, plus stretching and bike maintenance experts are also in constant con-tact with the riders, keeping them and their bikes in top form.

The riders are grouped into two

sections – North and Central Island, and South Island. The dividing line is at Duncan. McDonald leads train-ing rides for the South Island pack, and while riders north of Duncan follow the same training schedule and style, they report their prog-ress to McDonald.

Since starting training in March, the South Island riders have tack-led the sharp incline to the obser-vatory. They’ve pedalled Munns Road in the Highlands, cycled to Hartland landfill and powered through distances of 120 and 140 kilometres at a time.

“When you get up to those higher kilometres, it’s about riding as a team … All along the way you’ve got your support crew with you,” said Saanich police Const. Matt Cawsey, who rode with the Tour in 2009. “That’s a huge motivation as your legs spin, spin, spin over those kilometres.”

Added fellow Saanich Const. Aaron Murray: “It’s not only physi-cal, but emotional as well. But that’s why we have great trainers and

why we’ve been doing this since March. Would I have been ready to do this in March? Absolutely not.”

Cawsey said the final ride, which starts Sept. 24, is “nothing to sneeze at. It’s a lot of riding to be doing … and you’re up all day long, almost from 6 a.m. all the way to midnight. The training is designed to help us do that.”

McDonald said this year’s team has excelled in training, meaning the three-rides-a-week schedule doesn’t have to push them as hard as the departure date nears.

“This year’s team has been really fit, so it’s been really easy to push them a little more. And we’re ahead of where we should be, so it’s a little easier to back off a little bit, whereas in years before, it’s been a real push to the end to get them to where they need to be.”

In some ways, the hardest part is behind her. With training taper-ing off as the start of the Tour de Rock approaches, Louise Hartland knows that, at least physically, she’s been through the toughest stretch already.

“The reason that we train so hard is they don’t want us to have to think about

the physical part,” explained Hart-land. “If you can do the training you’ll be fine on tour. The emotional part of the tour is so hard that you shouldn’t have to think about the physical part while it’s going on.”

And make no mistake, it has been a gruelling few months for the Victoria-based CTV reporter, one of three media riders on this year’s Tour de Rock team. The three-day-a-week training schedule, which alternates

hill climbing, speed rides and long-distance sessions has been a new experience for Hartland. Prior to the tour, which covers 1,000 kilometres in two weeks, the only major cycling she had done was in the Ride to Con-quer Cancer, a comparatively mod-est two-day, 260-km affair.

But Hartland has surprised herself with her ability to keep up with the rigorous routine.

“It’s really a mental thing,” she said of her approach. “You go into it thinking, ‘There’s no way I can ride my bike up to the observatory,’ and now we do it three times in one night. It’s getting your head around the fact that you can actually do this.”

The physical toll is only part of the battle, however. The wide range of emotions that Hartland has felt since being named to the

team in February, and which will intensify over the fortnight of the tour, have been just as intense, sometimes fluctuating vividly within a single day.

One such day was when the team visited Camp Goodtimes, the prime beneficiary of the tour’s fundraising efforts. The camp, on the shores of Loon Lake in Maple Ridge, is a

summertime sanctuary for pediatric cancer patients and their siblings, giving them a place to just be kids.

“I wasn’t sure what to expect emotionally, so it was kind of drain-ing on me,” Hartland said. “When you don’t know what you’re going to see, it’s hard to deal with, but it wasn’t at all. It was the opposite. It was the happiest place on earth. There are some kids who are sick and some siblings, and you don’t know who is who. They’re just hav-ing fun and they feel they can be themselves there.”

And while kids with cancer are the focus of the tour, one adult will be prominent in Hartland’s mind throughout the ride. October will mark two years since her father was diagnosed with cancer, and he’s still undergoing treatment.

Balancing her work and training schedules, along with a busy calen-dar of fundraising events, has left precious little time for the two to spend together, but Hartland says her family has been in her corner the whole way.

“They’re very supportive of me,” she said. “Obviously my dad can’t do anything physically to help me out, but he knows I’m doing this for him.”

Hartland’s mother has attended every one of her fundraising events, highlighted by a single week in which she and “tag team partner” Brittany King, a fellow media rider, raised over $60,000 via a golf tourna-ment and a bachelor auction.

“(My mother) has been the money woman,” said Hartland. “She’s the one sitting in the back counting the cash box. She volunteers for every-thing.”

Even Hartland’s brother, away at school, is making plans to visit her

on at least one of the tour stops.Now with the tour just days away, all that

physical and emotional investment is about to play out, one community at a time.

“It just dawned on me a few days ago: ‘Oh my gosh, I’m actually ready for this.’ For so long, it seems such a huge distance, but then suddenly you’re ready.”

Training prepares riders for physical challenge so they can concentrate on emotional strength

A fire that recently broke out on the Royal Canadian Navy’s flagship submarine at CFB Esquimalt, won’t sink the navy’s plans to submerge the boat by the end of September.

“We’re going to go ahead as scheduled,” said Cmdr. Christopher Ellis, captain of HMCS Victoria. “It’s the opportunity for the crew to actu-ally come together and sail onboard the submarine.”

Grey smoke was seen coming out the top of Victoria’s communications mast on Sept. 6 at 10:15 a.m. during a routine radiation hazard survey the vessel was undergoing at the time.

The submarine was brought to emergency stations, and at least six submariners were evacuated from the vessel, moored at a CFB Esquimalt jetty, said Ellis. There were no injuries in the incident.

The high-tech mast, which allows the crew to transmit data and com-municate with aircraft or ships, as well as shore authorities, will soon be removed and examined for dam-age, said navy Capt. Don Smith, commanding officer of Fleet Mainte-nance Facility at HMC Dockyard.

A technical investigation will soon be launched to assess the extent of the damage and the cause of the fire

once a team is selected, said Smith, whose workers have spent the past five years improving Victoria and preparing it for weaponization.

It’s too soon to tell how long the investigation will take, and what the cost of repairs will be.

“It’s one of the things we watch in this, but a lot of the repairs will be conducted using material we have in our supply system,” Smith said.

Despite receiving an initial dam-age assessment the morning of Sept. 7, Smith said it would be premature to speculate whether the source of the fire was electrical.

“The very good news is the dam-age is external to the hull of the sub-marine, and it’s not the full mast. It’s only portions of it,” Smith said, add-ing the boat’s watertight integrity has not been compromised.

The submarine will be tugged over to Department of National Defence property in Colwood, and submerged a number of times over a period of three to six days by the end of September, said Ellis.

Victoria will disappear in the depths of Esquimalt Harbour — the first time since it was taken out of the water for repairs and upgrades five years ago. It came out of the shop in April.

The 48-member submarine crew and other civilian and military technical experts will put Victoria through a series of tests to gauge how well its systems are working underwater. The plan is to sail it out to the Strait of Juan de Fuca for sea trials before year’s end.

Joy Davis still finds herself surprised when she steps out her office door and into the heart of downtown Victoria.

She used to run the University of Victo-ria Art Collections from an office on cam-pus, but that changed when the department took over operation of Legacy Gallery this summer.

It’s been a month since the Yates Street facility re-opened from renovations that changed it from a café and gift shop to what is now UVic’s primary gallery venue. It now hosts curated shows and includes offices for collections staff, as well as teaching and research space for art students.

“We’re bringing art closer to the commu-nity,” Davis said. “People wander through here on their lunch break. It’s a lot more convenient than a trip to the university.”

Legacy first opened in 2007 as an arm of the UVic Bookstore. But it was always meant to be a gallery first, as a way to hon-our the late Michael Williams, the Victoria philanthropist and art lover who left virtu-ally his entire estate to the university.

“We have a lot more wall space to hang exhibits,” Davis said of the new layout.

“There’s a climate-controlled room where we can show some of the more sensitive pieces.”

Williams’ collections of contemporary and First Nations art, along with works bequeathed by John and Katharine Malt-wood, make up the bulk of the 27,000 pieces UVic Art Collections draws on for exhibits.

The first show in the reopened gallery is Convergence/Divergence: Landscape and Identity of the West Coast. Continuing until Oct. 1, the exhibit features the works of some of the area’s best-known artists, including Emily Carr, E. J. Hughes and Nor-man Yates.

Students gaining work experience at the gallery researched each piece to create the catalogue that goes along with the exhibit. They also worked with faculty from UVic’s anthropology department to produce a film of interviews with the artists.

Giant maps of B.C., created by a UVic car-tographer, are the basis for a community mapping exercise on one gallery wall. Visi-tors tag locations with yellow sticky notes, noting memories they have of that place.

“We want to continue to build connec-tions with other departments (at UVic),” Davis said. “When we get an idea, we have a wealth of experts on campus to draw on.”

The next exhibit, opening Oct. 5, is In Her Own Words: Works and Writings by Emily Carr, Katharine Maltwood and Myfanwy Pavelic. The staff will put the show together with help from the women’s studies depart-ment. “This is a place to learn, as much as a place to look at art,” Davis said.

Upstairs, in rooms closed to the public, art students meet a couple times per week for classes based around the Williams col-lection. It’s a rare opportunity for them to have original works they can look at in the

classroom, rather than just slides.The gallery is also home to the City Talks

lecture series. It kick-starts its second sea-son tomorrow (Sept. 22 at 7:30 p.m.) with a talk by Columbia University’s Jean Howard called Theatre and the City: Early Modern London in Reality and on the Stage.

Legacy Art Gallery is located at 630 Yates St., open Wednesday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with no admission charge. For details see legacygallery.ca.

The fundraiser runs from 6 to 9 p.m. at The Superior, 106 Supe-

rior St. Tickets are $40 and are available by calling 250-380-9515. For details, visit www. suddenlydance.ca.

ARTS EVENTSIN BRIEFCalendar idea has unlikely origin

Christine van ReeuwykNews staff

Peninsula architecture, from churches to historic Glamorgan Farm, and seaside sights such as the Brentwood ferry terminal and Sidney’s fish market make appear-ances in the 2012 Salish Coast Calendar.

“It’s not completely my brainstorm. I was inspired by a calendar called the Ber-muda Colours Calendar. It’s been going about 15 years or more in Bermuda,” said Saan-ich artist and calendar self-publisher Suzanne Heron.

She used photographs and digitally altered them to suit her vision.

“It’s been a process, com-ing to grips with myself as an artist,” she said. “I’ve real-ized that anytime you start altering the image, you’re taking artistic licence. What

I’m after (is) something that’s more evocative.”

The opportunity to cre-ate the calendar came when

one door closed and another opened. While looking at applying for employment insurance, Heron discovered a federal self-employment program. “It provides an extremely modest wage for 40 weeks, and incredible busi-ness coaching,” she said.

The coaching came from the Reger Group in Victoria, and from there, Heron was inspired to launch Blue Heron Publishing this year.

“The main front-end activ-ity is finding out if you have a valid idea, and doing a lot of market research,” Heron said, adding her coach advised to not “put all your eggs in one geographic basket.”

After speaking to retailers around the Capital Region, she came up with a line of cards and a perpetual calen-dar of Salt Spring artists to go with the original idea.

Neighbourhoods, build-

ings and natural places from around the region are repre-sented in the calendar.

Tidbits of local history, ecology and traditions are also included, as are monthly recipes from area chefs.

“A sense of place and feel-ing connected to a place is really, really important to me,” Heron said. “It made sense that I wanted to pro-mote that for other people; a sense of community, a sense of belonging, a sense of ‘oh, isn’t that cool? I know that fact.’”

The two back pages also contain links to interesting things to see and do around Greater Victoria.

1 out of 3 Canadians suffer from Thyroid Disease!

Consider low thyroid function if you experience fatigue or sluggishness, hair or eyebrow loss, weight gain or coldness in your extremities. Clinically low thyroid, as confirmed by your doctor, requires prescription medication. However, supplementing a healthy diet with ThyroSense® will help promote balance to your thyroid.

ThyroSense® is recommended by health professionals to help with the symptoms of low thyroid, and is safe to use for those already on medication for low thyroid.

The most common form of Thyroid Disease is low thyroid.

Cranky? PMS? Bloated? Acne?

The most prominent cause of hormone imbalance related symptoms is excessive estrogen, including exposure to the birth control pill, pesticides and other environmental toxins. Symptoms can include PMS, endometriosis, fibrocystic breast disease, heavy and painful periods, hormonal acne and more…

EstroSense® is recommended by health professionals and contains natural ingredients to help reduce the symptoms of estrogen dominance.

Up to 80% of all women are estimated to experience symptoms of PMS during their reproductive years.

What health professionals are saying about EstroSense…

In my practice I highly recommend EstroSense for women suffering estrogen dominance with conditions such as PMS, heavy periods, endometriosis, fibrocystic breasts, perimenopause and those women using any hormone supplements. Dr. Alvin Pettle, MD, F.R.C.S. (C)

As a Naturopathic Doctor, I strongly recommend EstroSense for healthy hormone metabolism in women with PMS, irregular periods, heavy bleeding, fibroids or those taking hormone replacement therapy. Dr. Marita Schauch BSc. ND

I love EstroSense’s unique blend of hormone balancing and detoxifying nutrients. I recommend it to my patients with a variety of hormonally related conditions, such as PMS, fibroids, endometriosis, and peri-menopause, including those on natural hormone therapy. EstroSense is also great for maintaining breast health at any age. Dr. Hyla Cass MD, author of 8 Weeks to Vibrant Health

The Union of B.C. Municipali-ties executive has given high priority to a resolution from Smithers calling for changes to the province’s carbon offset program.

Municipalities and regional districts, along with school dis-tricts and health authorities, are required to buy greenhouse gas emission credits to make their operations “carbon neutral,” with proceeds going to cleanup projects such as natural gas and cement plants.

Smithers council is calling for carbon offset payments to be retained by each local gov-ernment, to use for their own building retrofits, fuel-efficient vehicles or other emissions reduction strategies.

Environment Minister Terry Lake has indicated he is con-

sidering such a change, after complaints that the carbon offset program is costing cash-strapped schools and hospitals millions every year.

The Squamish-Lillooet Regional District is calling for a portion of carbon tax on fossil fuels to be directed to transit funding. That mirrors a pro-posal considered by Premier Christy Clark, who will be mak-ing her first keynote speech at the UBCM convention on Sept. 30.

Resolutions from the Cariboo Regional District and the City of Colwood call for the province to reverse its ban on incandes-cent light bulbs, citing concern about the disposal of compact fluorescent lights.

Fort St. John council has a resolution calling for five per cent of B.C.’s liquor store rev-enues to go to local drug and alcohol awareness and preven-tion programs for youth and adults.

The UBCM passed a similar resolution in 2004, calling for a share of provincial liquor reve-nues to support homeless shel-

ters and detox facilities.The District of Metchosin is

seeking federal and provincial help to control its population of Canada geese, which has ballooned to between 3,000 and 5,000 with considerable losses to crops. The resolution says geese were introduced to southern Vancouver Island in the 1950s “to provide stock for hunting purposes.”

UBCM delegates will also vote on a resolution to allow local governments to offer online vot-ing. The City of Vancouver has a pilot program in the works for advance polls in local elections, which take place across the province this November.

Another hot topic at the con-vention will be Clark’s promise to create a new municipal audi-tor-general. Community, Sport and Cultural Development Min-ister Ida Chong says the auditor will do “performance audits,” such as looking at projects cost-shared by the B.C. and federal governments to see which com-munities used them more effi-ciently.

Greater Victoria’s MPs are raising the red flag over the Conservative government’s plan to resurrect con-troversial anti-terrorism measures.

Last week, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said he was looking at bring-ing back the ability for police to arrest someone for three days with-out a warrant if it’s believed they may be involved in terrorist activity.

The measure expired in 2007 due to a “sunset clause” attached to it when it was brought in as part of the Anti-Terrorism Act after the 9/11 attacks in the U.S.

Victoria’s NDP and Green MPs say they don’t approve of such an “unnecessary” step backward.

“The only message I’ve been receiving from my constituents is we should do what we can to protect Canada from these kind of draco-nian and anti-democratic measures,” Saanich-Gulf Islands MP Elizabeth May said. “It strikes me as excessive and quite unnecessary, and it does real damage to our civil liberties.”

Victoria MP Denise Savoie says the NDP won’t support the amend-ments, as the provision is one that promotes politics of fear and divi-sion.

“We can’t afford to sacrifice these fundamental rights and freedoms in the name of fear,” she said. “Per-haps when democracy is being challenged, what we need is more democracy, not less.”

She argues that judicial over-sight is needed in balancing public safety with human rights. Giving law enforcement unnecessary powers isn’t a viable argument in the sup-posed name of security.

It’s a sentiment echoed by Univer-sity of Victoria political science pro-fessor Colin Bennett.

“It’s deeply troubling. There’s no evidence that law enforcement needs these powers,” he said.

Also concerning to Bennett is lawful access legislation that, like the Anti-Terrorism Act, is being per-ceived as an invasion of civil rights.

“This would give law enforcement extended access to our subscriber information from all our Internet communication and mobile devices without a warrant,” he said. “It’s deeply troubling they want to do this without any judicial oversight. ... These both turn our constitu-tional guarantees on its head.”

May says as a non-committee member she is one of only five MPs that has the ability to present amendments to bills at the report stage in the House of Commons. She plans on making sure the strong opposition to these provisions is heard.

“I have more potential to change bills than MPs in the Liberal, the NDP or the Conservative caucuses,” she said. “We need everyone, Con-servatives too, to ask, ‘Are we safer when we decide to surrender civil liberties?’ I don’t think that’s neces-sarily the case.”

Under the cloak of night, James Craig navigates his vehicle along a quiet tree-lined street in Victoria and spots the residence he has been hired to observe.

The lights inside are on, and the subject’s vehicle is parked out front.

“I do a visual, a quick snapshot,” says Craig, who has been a private investigator for 25 years. “As I’m driving by, I’m also checking to see which surveillance positions would serve me best. I’ve got a lot of infor-mation already.”

He slips his vehicle into a curb-side parking spot that offers him a clear view of the front of the resi-dence.

“If I’m going to tail the person, I’ll park further away,” says Craig, who revels in the challenge of unobtru-sively following a target in traffic.

“When you’re tailing someone, your heart is just pounding a mile a minute.”

Craig, the owner and sole inves-tigator of his Victoria-based James Craig Investigations business, has been hired to watch the person who lives in the residence, noting their comings and goings and, possibly, any erratic behaviour.

“Most people would never know they’re being observed or tailed,

unless they’re involved in criminal activity,” he says. “But there are a lot of people who are paranoid, espe-cially people involved in infidelity because they’re cheating and lying.”

Twenty per cent of Craig’s clients — most of them women — hire him to investigate suspected infidelities.

“I take infidelity jobs very seri-ously,” he says. “It’s probably one of the most tragic things that can hap-pen in a person’s life.”

Some private eyes are former police officers, but Craig was a fam-ily support worker, investigating child abuse and neglect until he decided to leave the stressful job behind and become a PI.

“Drop me off and let me pre-tend to be someone else and I’m in heaven,” he says.

Craig whips his binoculars to his eyes for a closer look at a woman emerging from the target residence. She quickly walks down the street and disappears into the darkness.

“Someone once described it as hours and hours of pure boredom mixed in with seconds of pure panic,” says Bill Hayman, private investigator and owner of Victoria-based Sterling Pacific Investigations.

“There’s nothing glamorous about what I do,” he says. “It’s like any job that involves helping others.”

His specialty is insurance cases, collecting information about people

who are seeking monetary com-pensation through a lawsuit or an insurance claim for injuries that may be exaggerated.

“When it comes to an insur-ance claim and I’m paying a pre-mium, then I feel I have a vested

interest that the person collect-ing on their claim is legitimate,” Hayman says. “I’m not out to get anybody. There’s definitely a need for what we do.”

Hayman had up to 11 employ-ees working for him about 10

years ago, but now he’s down to two, including an accountant.

Insurance companies have become more frugal over the years, but downsizing has its advantages, Hayman says.

“When you’re managing peo-ple, it takes up all your time,” he says. “I find people fascinating. I’ve done it for 26 years because it’s interesting.”

For Craig, there have been times when shadowing a target doesn’t provide enough infor-mation. He enjoys inventing plausible reasons for visiting a residence to find out what his target is doing. He has caught adulterers and cleared the names of some suspect spouses this way.

“I’ve resolved a lot of prob-lems for people over the years,” says Craig. “It feels good to find closure on something.

“The clients hire me because they want to know the truth.”

Now that the Westshore Sting-ers have been laid to rest, a new junior-B hockey team will rise from the ashes next season.

Four West Shore businessmen have banded together to pur-chase the rights to a franchise in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League, effectively replac-ing the Stingers.

Kory Gronnestad, Ken Carson, Dave Horner and Derrick Hamil-ton are in the process of buying the franchise rights and plan to keep the junior-B team on the West Shore. Operations for the Stingers have been suspended since early in 2011.

“The team was for sale and we thought it made sense,” said Gronnestad, president of Scansa Construction, based in Langford.

The club will be up and run-ning for the 2012-13 season, but it don’t expect a stinging insect on player jerseys.

“We’ll definitely be changing the name,” Gronnestad said add-ing they haven’t selected a name yet. “The name could be tied to a business. We will be getting suggestions from the community too.”

The deal has been crafted through the Stingers’ owner and the league, said VIJHL president Greg Batters.

“We are thrilled,” Batters said. “We are just crossing our ‘t’s and dotting the ‘i’s.”

Starting a team from scratch is never easy, but the new owners will also have to deal the recent history of the team. The Stingers were put on a six-month leave from the league in December 2010 after a player revolt led to an inability to field enough players to take the ice.

The team started as the Sooke Stingers in 2005 and then played three years out of Juan de Fuca and Bear Mountain arenas on the West Shore. During all six years the Stingers struggled to find enough ice time for training, and won very few games. Midway

through the 2010-11 season the team had one win in 22 games.

“We didn’t buy the Westshore Stingers, we bought the rights to operate a West Shore junior-B team,” Gronnestad said. “This is a brand new team ... a fresh start.”

The owner group is going to start recruiting players now and will be looking into coaches now in their year-long development to get a viable team on the ice. They want to base the team out of the new Westhills arena at City Cen-tre Park.

“We wanted to come out of the gate strong,” Gronnestad said. “We will really start moving for-ward in the spring.”

Training camp will start in

August of next year, like the rest of the league.

The new owners are keen to bring young hockey players to the community and give minor hockey players the option to continue in junior-B. Even when

the Westshore Stingers were operating, many West Shore play-ers were skating on other VIJHL teams such as the Victoria Cou-gars.

“A lot of the best players in the league come from the West Shore whether they play for the Cou-gars or Peninsula Panthers,” Bat-ters said. “If you run a good orga-nization, you are going to attract good people and players. Quality at the top will filter down.”

“Kids want to stay and play hockey in front of their family and friends,” Gronnestad said. “We want to keep the local kids here to play.”

The four owners are all friends who live on the West Shore.

Carson is the owner of Carson Mechanical, Horner owns Wil-low Leaf Holdings and Hamilton is co-partner on HHS Drilling and Blasting.

The four men played minor hockey as kids, some with the Juan de Fuca minor hockey asso-ciation. They have been hockey coaches and their children have played or still play for JDF minor hockey.

“This is not something we are trying to make money on,” said Carson, president of the Juan de Fuca minor hockey.

“We are solid in the commu-nity. We are all successful and this (project) is community moti-vated.”

West Shore Jr. B hockey gets a fresh start

Charla Huber/News staff

Kory Gronnestad and Ken Carson are two of four friends who bought the rights to operate a junior-B hockey team on the West Shore. The deal is still in the works, but the new team will not use the name Westshore Stingers.

“Kids want to stay and play hockey in front of their family and friends. We want to keep the local kids here to play.”

Cougars, Panthers in finals rematch

Two weeks into the season and the Vic-toria Cougars are the lone team to remain undefeated in the junior-B Island league.

On Thursday, the Cougars (4-0) face the B.C. champion Pen-insula Panthers (2-2) for the first time since the Cougars thumped the Panthers 12-2 in a Sept. 1 preseason game.

Game time is 7:15 p.m. at Archie Brown-ing arena.

It’s also the first meaningful game between the two teams since the Pan-thers overcame a 3-0 series deficit to the Cougars in the Island league finals last sea-son. The Panthers stormed back with four-straight wins for the Island trophy and then won the Cyclone Taylor Cup provincial championship.

The combined ros-ters feature 21 players from the Island finals.

Classic startStriker Sam Prette, top right, jumps into a crowd of Claremont Spartans teammates after scoring a surprise goal off a crossing play against South Delta during the UVic Vikes High School Boys Fall Classic soccer tournament on Sept. 15. Less than five minutes later Prette scored again, this time on a breakaway, though South Delta won 6-5. Tournament results below.

Diver fifth at Pan Am juniors

Saanich diver Emily Schmidt finished fifth overall in the 10-metre platform, her best result at the Pan American Junior Div-ing championships in the outdoor elements of Medellin, Columbia, Sept. 8 to 11.

Schmidt competed in the girls’ 12- and 13-year-old division and was the only Boardworks diver on Canada’s 24-member national junior diving team.

She also managed ninth overall in the 1m springboard and eighth in the 3m, out of 12 divers in each final heat.
