Worker killed at metal recycler Erin McCracken News staff

Operations at Steel Pacific Recycling in Victoria were scaled back Monday following the workplace death of an employee on Saturday afternoon. Investigators with WorkSafeBC and the company’s accident investigation team were at the yard in Victoria’s Rock Bay industrial area Monday, while grief

counsellors, a critical incident team and company officials met with about 25 employees at an off-site location. “They’re a close-knit team, and this was a well-liked person,” Caroll Taiji, the company’s communications consultant, said of the 35-year-old victim, who hailed originally from Nanaimo. He had worked for the company in Victoria for more than three years. “It’s really devastating for

them. This company in that location has existed and operated for over 50 years. They have never had a fatality so there’s a huge amount of shock.” The man was killed Saturday afternoon in an area of the yard where finer materials are separated from crushed automobiles, Taiji explained.

Cars impounded after Blanshard race Two drivers had their vehicles impounded last Thursday afternoon after police were called about a pair of reckless drivers on Blanshard Street. Around 1 p.m. Saanich police received multiple calls about the aggressive drivers, who were seen accelerating and burning out their tires, and racing along Blanshard. Witnesses reported that one of the vehicles made contact with the other on the red light at Cloverdale Avenue in an apparent attempt to push it into

the intersection. The vehicles were seen entering the underground parking garage at Uptown. Two bike squad officers located the cars, unoccupied, and waited for their drivers to return. Two men, both in their 20s, admitted to driving the vehicles. Each of them had their licences suspended. The two cars, a 1990 Subaru and a 2000 Chrysler, were impounded under the province's street racing legislation. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Father keeps pressure on Continued from Page A1

In a statement to the individuals who are withholding information, Buziak says his offer will “relieve you of the horrible burden you carry.” “I trust you realize this is your last safe (way) out from this mess. Lindsay’s murder will be solved and if you or your family don’t want to be included in any way when people are arrested, you must make contact soon,” he writes. Jantzen said police are concerned that, with this new offer, fraudsters might try to take advantage of Buziak. “Family members of victims quite often end up becoming fraud victims by someone unscrupulous,” he began, “which is why our investigators need to be involved, for reasons of authenticity and verification.”

Police believe that Lindsay Buziak was an innocent party, and her murder was a targeted hit arranged by someone close to her. Investigators assigned to work on this case on a daily basis have narrowed down the investigation to “three or four” working theories, Insp. Rob McColl told the News last year. “(We’re) falling short of our own expectations and we’re falling short of the family’s expectations,” McColl said at the time. He is no longer working on the file. Buziak believes his daughter’s murder will be solved, and he said – given that police aren’t where they want to be in the investigation – what he’s doing is the best possible way of achieving that. “I just feel that the pressure has to be kept on here. We have to try and jostle everyone as best we can.”

Imagining a women-run government Arbutus student wins video contest on the question of political role reversal Natalie North News staff

Longer maternity leaves, universal daycare and more sex education programs. Those were three of Rebecca Hansen’s winning answers to the question “What would change if your government was 75 per cent women?” In her filmmaking debut, the Grade 8 student at Arbutus middle school addressed the issue of men outnumbering women in parliament by three-to-one and caught the attention of female MPs across party lines. Hansen’s mixed-media video, “What If …” won Dancing with the Octopus: Women in Politics’ filmmaking challenge on May 1. “There have been so many issues and scandals and things just don’t seem to be working on Parliament Hill,” Hansen said. “This is a thought about ways to solve it and how ridiculous it is that a firstworld country like Canada still has such a low number of female MPs.” Oak Bay-based filmmaker Sandy Mayzell launched the multi-platform media project Dancing with the Octopus – which includes a website, web series, documentary, rock opera and comic book – as a way to engage women over a wide demographic with political questions and political action.

Sharon Tiffin/News staff

With signs and her computer, Arbutus middle school student Rebecca Hansen made an award winning video that explores the need for more women in politics. Mayzell hoped that by reaching out through its inaugural film contest, she would initiate a conversation and hear what the world had to say around the underrepresentation of women in politics. “Creativity is key,” Mayzell said.

“Asking people to put thoughts together in a creative way helps get their message across better because it’s not just complaining.” Social media spread word of the contest quickly. Dancing with the Octopus received submis-

sions from all corners of the world, including one from Istanbul, Turkey, where the filmmaker captured images of physical violence in parliament. “She showed men literally in fisticuffs, punching each other in the faces,” said Mayzell, who was stunned by the images. Women on the east coast of Canada, as well as Afghanistan, South Africa, Switzerland, France and India also submitted videos. “There was a common voice that women all over the world are not getting anywhere near an equal voice with men behaving badly,” Mayzell added. At 13, Hansen was by far the contest’s youngest entrant. She heard of the opportunity via CBC Radio and crafted the minute-long video on her own, outside of a few “helpful critics,” she said. It was selected by a jury of five Canadian MPs from the five federal parties – Carolyn Bennett (Liberal), Elizabeth May (Green), Maria Mourani (Bloc), Denise Savoie (NDP) and Wai Young (Conservative). Hansen will also receive a $500prize with the honour. Though the contest was a success, the next step for Dancing with the Octopus is to promote political involvement – action which begins at the polls, Mayzell said. “As ridiculous as politics sometimes seem, we can change it and we have to show that we’re engaged for politics to ever change,” Hansen said. “I really hope for people to see that we have the power.” To see Hansen’s video, see dancingwiththeoctopus.com. nnorth@saanichnews.com

The wait begins for Victoria’s 2014 Juno bid A $50,000 grant from the province will support Greater Victoria's bid to host the 2014 Juno Awards. Ida Chong, Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development and Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA, made the announcement last week after the Capital Region Music Awards Society completed its rounds asking municipal coun-

cils for financial support. Five separate municipal councils promised funding in support of the bid to host the awards gala at the Save-On Foods Memorial Centre and related events at other venues around the region. Saanich has offered $100,000 to host the Junos and the City of Victoria has pledged $200,000.

The society formally submitted its bid to the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences in time for the April 30 deadline. The B.C. government also pledged an extra $1.5 million toward staging the event, should Victoria's bid to host the Junos be successful. The commitment was based on the understanding that local govern-

ments and other partners would provide at least $500,000 toward hosting the event and that the host society will complete its due diligence. Regina is hosting the 2013 Junos next April. The 2014 host city is expected to be announced sometime this fall. editor@saanichnews.com

Canadians are living longer and costs for the Old Age Security (OAS) are rising. On April 1, 2023 the Government of Canada plans to start raising the age of eligibility for OAS and the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) from 65 to 67.*

What does this mean for you? 54 or older as of March 31, 2012

You may still obtain OAS/GIS at age 65

53 or younger as of March 31, 2012

The age of eligibility for OAS/GIS will change gradually between 2023 and 2029

Starting in July 2013, Canadians who are eligible for, but not yet receiving OAS will have the flexibility to delay receiving it in exchange for a higher monthly amount at a later date.

The number of working-age Canadians for every senior is decreasing** 6 5

The number of working-age Canadians per senior is decreasing, placing additional pressure on the OAS program.

Veteran B.C. Transit operator Gerry Leahy calls out the next stop over his radio in downtown Victoria on Friday. The bus company announced last week that operators will call out major stops for passengers travelling routes throughout the Capital Region.

Bus company returns to days of calling out stops Erin McCracken News staff

Before navigating his transit bus back into the flow of traffic in downtown Victoria along Douglas Street, Gerry Leahy grabs a hand-held radio and calls out the next major stop for his passengers. There hasn’t been a policy in place to call out stops on transit routes in Greater Victoria since electric streetcars trundled through Victoria, Esquimalt and Oak Bay, from the early 1890s to 1948. In calling out stops, Leahy now has something else in common with his grandfather, who likely called out stops when he drove streetcars – as well as with his father, who started with the streetcar company and later drove buses. “I think it’s a good experiment and idea, to see if we can help people get to their stops a little easier without letting one slip by them,” said Leahy, who has been a transit operator for 25 years. The call-out initiative, unveiled last Thursday, was a suggestion from a number of riders that came in over Twitter two months ago. “It’s about building that great

“There’s going to be a learning curve. It’ll be a six-month process before it’s all in place.” –Meribeth Burton B.C. Transit connection between our drivers and their passengers,” said Meribeth Burton, B.C. Transit spokesperson. “We want the experience to be fun, convenient and pleasant.” Dorothy Wapola, a Victoria resident who regularly takes the bus, said some seniors and people who are visually impaired may appreciate advance notice about a stop so they have time to get ready. Visitors to the Garden City will also benefit. “They’re going to ask anyway or sit there and look blank as they whiz pass the stop. I’ve seen them do that before,” Wapola said. “It’s going to be a help for them.” Though riders can still request drivers to call out certain stops, bus operators will be required to call out major stops under the new program.

“There’s going to be a learning curve,” Burton said, adding that drivers are receiving safety training on delivering call-outs. “It’ll be a six-month process before it’s all in place.” Drivers won’t be permitted to make a call-out over the radio while they are driving – steering with one hand is a not allowed. If they do need to make an announcement while the bus is moving, they will have to use good old-fashioned lung power to call out a stop. Though other transit systems in larger Canadian cities employ automated systems to announce stops, those technologies come with a steep price tag, Burton said. As the aging fleet of buses is replaced by new Nova buses, drivers will be able to use fixed microphones, she noted. “We’re looking at the most cost-effective ways to keep lines of communication going.” emccracken@vicnews.com

“The worker was caught in the machinery somehow and fatally injured,” confirmed Megan Johnston, communications officer for WorkSafeBC. Johnston declined to release additional details on the precise cause of death until the agency’s investigation wraps up. Once the B.C. Coroners Service receives WorkSafeBC’s final report, the coroners team will decide whether health and safety practices in B.C.’s steel recycling industry warrant a closer look to prevent future deaths in similar circumstances, said Barb McLintock, a coroner with the B.C.

Regional deer team meets tonight Bambi brigade set to solve deer population issues Brittany Lee News staff

The recently appointed deer management citizens advisory council meets for the first time tonight (May 9). The 11-member committee, which includes representatives from the commercial farming and First Nation communities, was announced by the Capital Regional District in late April. “A variety of people with a variety of experiences” were selected, according to Vic Derman, vice-chair of the CRD’s planning, transportation, and protective

National Defence

services committee. The committee put out a call for citizens to form a deer advisory council in March, in response to controversy over how to handle the overpopulation of deer, and the number of deer-human conflicts in the Capital Region. Derman added that he tried to select applicants who had not publicly voiced opinions on the issue. “If somebody said, ‘I’m definitely against this’ or ‘I’m definitely for this’ … there’s probably a little bit of detriment of being on the (deer advisory) committee,” said Derman, a Saanich councillor. “Everybody will have some personal opinion prior to going in, but the hope, for me at least, is that we picked people who would be willing to put that aside, listen to all the evidence, and come up with what, in their view, is the best pos-

sible answer.” Members of the group, with support from technical and scientific experts, will help guide the development of a regional deer management strategy. The group’s first meeting takes place Wednesday night from 5:45 to 8:45 p.m. in room 107 of the CRD headquarters, 625 Fisgard St. Members of the public are welcome attend. The group consists of five representatives from Victoria, Esquimalt, Oak Bay, and Saanich, four from the Peninsula, and two from the West Shore. The members are: Richard Christiansen, Wendy Fox, Lisa Kadonage, Sol Kinnis, Terry Michell, Robert Moody, Patrick O’Rourke, Jocelyn Skrlac, Philip Tom, Kerri Ward and Robin Bassett.

Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

Your Travel Eyewear A very sensible patient suggested that I remind patients of eye related things they should pack when traveling. Spare glasses • Sunglasses Spare contact lenses A copy of the optical prescription (if traveling outside Canada) It is not just Murphy’s Law that causes those most in need of an optical correction to experience the most difficulty getting a quick replacement lens in an emergency situation. Complex, strong or difficult prescriptions can take longer to make. If you are helpless without your glasses, be prepared for loss or breakage. Whether in the jungle, on safari or on a luxury cruise, the nearest optical lab can be a long way off. Sunglasses are a must if you are headed for a sunny spot. You can slather sunscreen on your skin but it really stings if you try it in your eyes! Sunglasses purchased in Canada will generally provide adequate protection from ultra violet light. If you wear prescription glasses, matching clip-ons, photochromic lenses (glass or plastic) or separate sunglasses are all good options. Polarized lenses are particularly good if you plan to be on or near the water. Contact lens wearers should be especially careful to anticipate problems. If you wear expensive custom made contact lenses, you may balk at the idea of buying a spare pair. Disposable contact lenses might provide tolerable vision in an emergency even if not a precise match for your correction. Discuss this idea with your Optometrist. Contact lens wearers should wear glasses for long airplane flights because of the dry air supply. In fact, everyone could benefit from lubricating drops in these dry conditions. Contact lens wearers should also be aware that some countries have high levels of air pollution and contaminated water supplies so be careful about hygiene. Fastidiously wash your hands before handling your contact lenses. Montezuma can take revenge on your eyes as well as your tummy. Bring your own solutions if you are not sure of their availability at your destination Ask your Optometrist for advice about “back-up” eyewear and don’t wait until the last minute.

OUR VIEW

Naming revenue not so abhorrent C

ity of Victoria councillors recently introduced the possibility of tendering corporate naming rights to major city facilities, including the Victoria Conference Centre. People responding to an online petition that has sprung up on the matter have taken the stance that allowing businesses to brand public facilities, with a corporate name or logo, is an invasion of the taxpayers’ right to enjoy advertising-free public space. However, the idea of using private dollars to help fund public programs and facilities in any municipality seems to be a good savings of taxpayers’ money. Before people get all excited about the prospect of every parks department shed or swimming pool being “corporatized,” it’s obvious not every office building or arena in the Capital Region is high-profile enough to warrant or even attract corporate interest. Unlike the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre, which happened to have enough space to allow a giant, conical shopping basket to be erected on one corner, plus a more tasteful rendition of its store logo on the main entrance to the building, most city buildings don’t have great amounts of space to play with. For those that do, however, there are other examples of how it can work. The West Shore has seen its two arenas named for Bear Mountain and Westhills, both housing developments and companies whose names have more of a geographic than a corporate sound to them. The Island Savings Centre in Duncan is another arena in which a local company teamed up with a municipality to mutual benefit. And let’s remember, just because a company has its name attached to a building doesn’t mean it gets to dictate how the facility is used. The province foolishly let an opportunity slip away when it chose to keep the name on B.C. Place Stadium. At a time when taxpayers are getting frustrated by continual property tax increases, municipalities shouldn’t reject outright this potential source of revenue.

Many are heading to refinery complexes at March Point and Cherry Point in Washington. These supertankers can be seen sailing past Victoria most days. Strangely, this U.S. crude traffic excites no protests. Some of the smaller tankers come in to fill up from the Trans-Mountain pipeline in Burnaby, whose operator is preparing a bid for expansion. This attracts protests organized by people paid to oppose Alberta “tar sands” oil. Where do urban protesters think we get the gasoline and diesel fuel sold at B.C. filling stations? Do they think it’s all made at the little Chevron refinery in Burnaby, the last remnant of refining capacity in southern B.C.? We could use a serious debate about how B.C. handles petroleum. Instead, we see factually inaccurate claims promoted by U.S. interests to attack Canadian crude only. Our opposition politicians and media mostly just go along for the ride. tfletcher@blackpress.ca —Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com.

LETTERS Juno bid puts municipal money in wrong place The eagerness of Victoria area councils to shovel money out to promoters of a TV show instead of properly funding policing illustrates the irresponsibility of municipal politicians. People will live without a TV show. But the motorcycle rider allegedly run down by a known dangerous driver, and the motorcyclist smashed by an alleged drunk driver, did not live. I suggest voters phone their municipal councillors and explain life and death to them. Keith Sketchley Saanich

Rail options for Blue Bridge still available As costs escalate and more questions arise on the design for the replacement for the Johnson Street Bridge, it could be time to step back and re-evaluate the project. We now know that there is funding for the E&N railway, so we need to consider bringing the rail line back over the bridge, a possibility that is missing from the new design. Victoria city council claims it has preserved the right-of-way if rail were to be added in the future, but this would need to be in the way of a separate span built alongside the new bridge. Council appears to be conflicted on how to proceed with this huge infrastructure expenditure.

According to the 1924 engineers report on the construction of the bridge, the vehicle bridge was designed to carry the E&N railway, until the rail portion of the bridge was completed at a later date. This vehicle span was then tested successfully with a train of heavily loaded gravel cars. With this in mind, there is the option of keeping rail on the Johnson Street Bridge by refurbishing the present bridge. This approach would be much cheaper than was originally projected, since that cost would have been to repair two spans. Dennis Robinson Saanich

Bike seizure editorial short on suggestions Re: Civil forfeiture muddies message (Our View, May 4) This editorial is basically filled with platitudes and does a disservice to the police, whose job is never easy at the best of times. Your suggested alternative to the seizure of the motorbike, that “the police could better serve their public by ensuring this rider, and other potential daredevils, learn about the very real consequences of very bad decisions,” offers no advice as to how the police might do this. And you justify your complaint on the grounds “that the public has not heard enough evidence to merit the police taking away the personal property of an Esquimalt mom.” Seems to me that the bike shown on the video and the one

the police took away are one and the same. What else do we need to know? I wish you could have sat in the same provincial courtroom I did recently. I don’t have the wording of the charge, but the man found guilty had hit and injured a woman. The Crown, as I recall, wanted a nine-month prison term and the defence wanted about four months. The judge told them he didn’t like either of their solutions because “warehousing” someone for a period of time didn’t seem to him to have – to borrow your words – “a real consequence.” He wanted something that had a sting in it to make it abundantly clear to the man that what he had done was very, very, serious. So he hit the man where it hurts most, in his pocketbook, with a $2,500 fine. In my view, seizing that bike sends the same kind of message. Bill Ellis Oak Bay

Canadian, Australian, U.S. joint exercises off south Island Erin McCracken News staff

Victoria residents will be able to enjoy a free air show of sorts over the coming days, although from a distance. Canadian CF-18 Hornet fighter jets, long-range patrol aircraft and Sea King helicopters will be seen soaring through skies off the west coast of the Island, as part of a military training exercise that began on Monday and continues until May 18. Though some of the action will take place in Constance Bank, roughly due south of Clover Point in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, some participating vessels will travel as far north as Tofino. Several Royal Canadian Navy warships and maritime coastal defence vessels will work alongside ships from Australia and the U.S. The task-group exercise is designed to give military members an opportunity to further develop their skills in a group environment. “Participating units prepare for a wide range of potential operations and missions to strengthen Canada’s ability to work in a multinational and joint environment,” a Royal Canadian Navy statement said. “(The exercise) aims at honing each unit’s operational skills, enhancing Canada’s maritime contribution to global security across a broad spectrum of operations.” emccracken@vicnews.com

FLYER in today’s paper!

Students in the Saanich School District will have a longer spring break next year. In response to budget pressures, SD63 voted to approve a two week spring break for students in 2013. Dates for the break are scheduled for March 11 to 22. The decision came as school board trustees wrestled with a need to find $2.9 million to balance the 2012-13 budget. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Oak Bay Half Marathon welcomes runners for eighth annual event

By Jennifer Blyth

new business and an invigorating run through picturesque Oak Bay was all it took to plant the seeds for what has easily become one of the Capital Region’s favourite running events. And this year, as both Peninsula Runners and the Oak Bay Half Marathon celebrate eight years, the race promises to be bigger and better than ever, says race founder and Peninsula Runners owner Dave Milne. With its beautiful scenery and the support of then Oak Bay Mayor Chris Causton, Oak Bay was a natural for the race, Milne recalls. As for the half marathon distance, “at the time, it was the up-and-coming distance. There weren’t many races of that distance available and we wanted to be a little different.” From the beginning, the event has been about partnerships – partnerships with the municipality and residents of

Oak Bay, but also with businesses and groups in the Greater Victoria community. In addition to his own Peninsula Runners, Milne has welcomed 107.3 KOOL FM as the presenting sponsor of the half marathon, 5K and Asics Relay, while the local Help Fill A Dream Foundation presents the Kids 2K Challenge and the new 400 metre Fun Dash. One of Peninsula Runners’ founding business principles is to give back to the community, and as part of that, Milne created the Peninsula Runners Athletic Society, which operates the event. “I made a promise to the council of Oak Bay that I would never make money from the race, and I have stuck to that,” Milne notes. While Peninsula Runners offers a headquarters for race planning and organization, the society ensures event proceeds go to support to both local athletes and local charities, such as the Help Fill A Dream Foundation, the Oak Bay Half Marathon beneficiary which

HOW T0 REGISTER The Oak Bay Half Marathon registration is paperless – sign up online until midnight, May 9. For those needing help with computer registration, simply stop by Peninsula Runners at 3659 Shelbourne St. Call 250384-4786 for more information. Photos by Jeremy Phillips and Julia Phillips

Peninsula Runners’ popular running event adds a 5K and a Kids 400M Fun Dash to the May 13 half marathon, relay and 2K Kids Run.

supports families with seriously ill children, the BC Cancer Foundation and the Arthritis Society. In addition to financial support, the event offers terrific publicity and the chance for local organizations to get their message out, he adds. The race has also grown each year, from about 300 participants in 2005 to about 2,000 expected this year, Milne says. For runners, the half marathon distance offers a greater challenge than the 10K, but without the extensive training required of a marathon, he explains. “It really doesn’t require that much more training than a 10K. If someone is looking for the next challenge, the half marathon definitely offers that.” For those who may be newer to running, the addition of the 5K distance presented another opportunity to get more people involved. “It offers a way for runners who aren’t ready for a half

marathon to come out and join in the fun,” Milne says, pointing out that by starting at the same time as the half marathon, but taking a different route, the 5K participants will be finished and able to cheer on the half marathoners as they cross the finish line from the longer race. The relay is another way for runners to participate at shorter distances, with four legs ranging from 4.2 to 7km. The half marathon early start gets under way at 7 a.m. Sunday, May 13, with the regular half marathon start, 5K and relay following at 8 a.m. The Kids 2K Challenge for those age 14 and younger begins at 10:30 a.m., with the Kids 400 metre Fun Dash for those nine and younger beginning at 11 a.m. Following the different events, enjoy post-race festivities at the corner of Hampshire Road and Oak Bay Avenue, including food, awards and more.

Individual registration is $75 until May 9, or $140 for a relay team, $30 for the 5K, $15 for the Kids’ 2K and $12 for the Kids’ 400M. Race weekend registration, May 10 to 12, is $90 for an individual, $160 for a team, $35 for the 5K, $20 for the Kids 2K and $15 for the Kids 400M. Race package pick-up – plus late registration – will take place at Peninsula Runners’ Shelbourne Street location on race weekend: • Friday, May 11 from 12 to 6 p.m. • Saturday, May 12, from 10 a.m to 6 p.m. Note that there is NO race-day registration or package pick-up.

Need more information? Visit the Oak Bay Half Marathon online at www. oakbayhalf.com or call Peninsula Runners at 250-384-4786.

The Kids’ 2K Challenge will support the Help Fill a Dream Foundation.

Registration deadline is approaching! Come on out for a run! Either go long for the KOOL Half, join some friends on a team in the Asic’s relay, or watch your children in Help Fill A Dream’s Kids Krazy Kilometre. You can’t beat a Sunday morning run with a little fun thrown in! For as little as $10 your child can run free on Oak Bay Avenue and get some KOOL goodies to boot. Run, Cheer, Have Fun!

Funnyman Fred Penner highlights kids fest Kyle Slavin News staff

Fred Penner, one of Canada’s most celebrated children’s entertainers, committed his life to the world of entertainment when he was just a young man in the early ‘70s after tragedy struck his family. “I had a younger sister, who was a Down syndrome child, she passed away, and a year later my dad died. So in my early 20s I had this intense mortality check and made the decision there and then to attempt to follow my bliss and pursue music as a career,” Penner told the News last week, on the phone from Toronto. Though he had a formal education in economics – a career he says he never would’ve enjoyed – his first serious foray into the industry was with a comedic folk band that played in bars and universities. Penner, who scored a CBC TV show, Fred Penner’s Place in 1985 after half a decade of success writing children’s music, says the core elements of performing with the comedic band – communication,

interaction, participation – continue to help him today. “We’re in an absolutely messed up world. The insanity is complete. The battles that are raging in every corner of this planet are constant,” Penner began, “and the only way, I think, to find a balance in this is through human contact.” That’s why, he said, events like this weekend’s Island Children’s Festival, are important. “What we need to do is really focus on the kids. Because if we make a strong child, if they really understand who they are and how they fit in the global perspective, in the environmental world, how they interact with each other, then we’ll actually have a chance at affecting the next generation,” he said. Penner will headline this Saturday’s Island Children’s Festival at the Island Montessori House School at 5575 W. Saanich Rd. In addition to music, there will also be kids crafts, face painting, children’s yoga, storytelling and a bouncy castle. Penner, who asked that his age not be shared, says he feels like

Popular children’s entertainer Fred Penner headlines the Island Children’s Festival this weekend. he’s 30 years old, based on the life, emotional energy and youthful exuberance he continues to

exude. Having been a pioneer in the industry for 40 years, he said chil-

dren’s entertainment has been watered down by businesses looking to make money, rather than working on a philosophy of putting kids first. “There needs to be a new level of commitment of work for children and families. It’s not just a matter of getting up and singing songs – it’s essential to your understanding of life and how you communicate with people,” Penner said. “Never underestimate your ability to make a difference in the life of a child.” kslavin@saanichnews.com

Socially conscious, lyrically poetic, rife with apocalyptic symbolism, All Else Fails is poised to take the world by storm. Playing an aggressively dark blend of punk, metal and rock, this well-established Edmonton-based band breaks the traditional ideals of its genre by producing music infused with experimental elements, incorporating classical music, electronica influenced synth lines and spoken word sampling. Find out what all the buzz is about, as All Else Fails plays with Synapse and Two Years and Counting on May 10 at Logan’s Pub, 1821 Cook Street. The show is at 9:30, tickets are $10.

Festival gears up for finale More than 5,000 performers from age six to adults are filling a dozen stages in 15 sections of the arts during the Greater Victoria Performing Arts Festival. For six weeks from March 30 to May 12, students play brass, sing in choirs, dance and perform in the dramatic arts for adjudicators. Concluding the festival is the Roberto and Mary Wood Scholarship Concert, on May

12, at which the most talented performers, festival-wide, will be vying for the annual $5,000 scholarship. During the concert each performer has 20 minutes to perform two selections. Candidates can be singers or instrumentalists. The scholarship is the largest of its kind awarded at a community performing arts festival in Canada.

The Roberto and Mary Wood Scholarship Concert is at 7 p.m. at the Phillip T. Young Recital Hall in the MacLaurin Building at UVic. Top musicians from several instrumental and vocal sections will be performing. Tickets, $20/$10 seniors, students and children are available at the door.

Wendy Skog says her paintings are about coloured lights, the afterlife and the underworld, sex, violence, and flying objects. In her new show Parade, Energy moving in Space, Scog explores the relationship among a full spectrum of colours and shades in an abstract journey that for each canvas begins with no pre-conceived destination and evolves toward a point of harmony. “My work is a kind of wordless meditation, transforming mind into matter and expressed as energy moving in space,” she says. “The paintings are an expression of the spirit, energy, confusion, surprise, excitement, tragedy, unpredictability, drama and innocence we have collectively experienced through lifetimes.” The work draws from the vulnerability and consciousness gained through these experiences, she says. “As an abstract painter I am attracted to the dark, deep, rich colours of wine, purple night-skies, the dull opaques of asphalt under streetlamps or west coast skies, the blacks of stovepipes and telephones, the warm orange-reds of a wood-fire. … I enjoy round, oval elliptical, soft female shapes and linear, structural, geometric, architectural hard shapes.” Influenced by the New York school of painters, her organic abstract forms are rendered in a painter’s minimalists approach. Parade opened on April 28 and runs to May 24 at the Martin Bachelor Gallery, 712 Cormorant St. For details go to www.wendyskog.com. llavin@vicnews.com

Members of the Victoria Devils ’94 midget fastpitch team from left, Morgan Jackson, Chelsea Strandlund, Maddy Creasey, Olivia Tubman, Amanda LeSergent and Mackenzie Smith, stretch prior to practice at Central Park last week. In seven years the Devils have finished second in B.C. three times. 2012 is the final shot at gold.

Seven year itch Devils squad has one last chance to win it all Travis Paterson News staff

Practice is nearly underway at Central Park’s ball diamond when Maddy Creasey begins backing a 1990s gold sedan into a parking spot. After a few re-adjustments of the car’s angle, a second attempt, and the guidance of a parent on foot, 18-year-old Creasey accomplishes parallel parking success on Vancouver Street. “Practice is almost over, are you parked yet?” quips a coach. It’s the start of many laughs as the Victoria Devils ’94 girls fastpitch team goes from silly to serious in a matter of minutes, and falls into a stretching and warmup routine. Albeit the topic of discussion meanders to a History 12 pop quiz on the names of German war leaders, before returning to the baseball. It’s been seven years since the under-18 team formed, but seven original players

SPORTS NEWS IN BRIEF Vic City rowers tops at Brentwood Regatta The Victoria City Rowing Club finished first place at the recent Brentwood Regatta at Brentwood College in Mill Bay. The Elk Lake-based rowing club had 10 first-place finishes, ahead of incumbent champion Sammamish Rowing Club of Seattle. Hosts Brentwood College finished fifth. “I am really excited to see the strong showing for all levels of athletes which

still remain on the squad. Of those seven, Mackenzie Smith and Sarah Chow go back even further, coming from Layritz Little League, where they were first coached by the Devils bench boss Bruce Lubinich. “It’s the last year together as a minor ball team and it’s been a lot of fun, seven years worth of ‘a lot of fun,” Lubinich said. During the team’s run it has finished second at the provincial championships three separate times, going on to finish third, fourth and ninth at the 2008, ’10 and ’11 national championships, respectively. To say the team is due to win at B.C.s is an understatement. So with great excitement, the team is hosting this year’s U18 provincials, July 27 to 29. “Last year at nationals we were a firstyear (midget) team. We have that experience on our side now.” The top two or three teams from B.C.s (yet to be decided by Softball Canada) will advance to the nationals in Montreal this summer. But that’s a long ways away. Two weekends ago the Devils opened the season at the Softball City spring range from novice to varsity crews,” said head coach Albert Van Shothorst. “Year after year this club has been improving and this time we displayed the skill to push through in the last 250 metres of the race where we used to get passed.”

World Cup rowing team announced Rowing Canada’s team was announced for the May 25 to 27 World Rowing Cup in Lucerne, Switzerland. Making the world cup team is a tip of the hat towards Canada’s 2012 Olympic rowing team selection, which happens in June. From the University of Victoria, Darcy

classic in Surrey, defeating national team pitcher Jocelyn Cater and the White Rock Renegades. Up 6-0 in the tournament final, the Devils looked to have the tourney in the bag. “The wheels fell off,” Lubinich said. “But that’s why you play these games early in the season. It’s good to get those out of the way.” The Devils are the only minor team playing senior baseball in the VictoriaSaanich Women’s Softball Association this season out of Hyacinth Park. The next midget tournament for the Devils is the Renegades Canadian Pride and Power, May 19 to 21 in Surrey.

Secondary sports Second baseman Chelsea Strandlund is going to New Zealand to play semiprofessionally next year and will likely go to the NCAA in 2013. Devils’ Sarah Chow (Utah University), Emily Newman (Frank Phillips Community College), Olivia Tubman (Graceland University) and Mckenzie Smith (Stanford University) are all headed to college for September. sports@vicnews.com Marquardt (Richmond) and Rachelle Viinberg (Regina, Sask.) will compete in the women’s heavyweight eight. The Ontario-based crew is the only one that doesn’t train at Elk Lake. Victoria’s Tracy Cameron and Lindsay Jennerich will compete in the women’s lightweight double, with Cameron having recently qualified. The men’s heavyweight eight of cox Brian Price, and Ontario rowers Will Crothers, Jeremiah Brown, Andrew Byrnes, Conlin McCabe, Rob Gibson and Doug Csima are joined by Victoria’s Malcolm Howard and Gabe Bergen. Brentwood College grads Scott Frandsen and David Calder are hoping for another shot at gold in the pair. sports@vicnews.com

Black Press

The B.C. government is attempting to restore limits on third-party election spending that were struck down by a judge before the 2009 vote. Attorney General Shirley Bond has introduced amendments that would put limits on spending by unions, business groups and other non-party advertisers in the 40 days before the official start of an election campaign. A previous 60-day limit was challenged by seven public sector unions, led by the B.C. Teachers' Federation, and rejected by a B.C. Supreme Court judge as

an unjustified restriction on freedom of speech. Premier Christy Clark said some spending limit on the pre-campaign period is justified, since the province went to scheduled elections in 2005. Current rules restrict party and non-party spending during a formal 28-day election campaign, but contain no limits on spending before that period. The government intends to submit the proposed 40-day restriction to the B.C. Supreme Court before it takes effect. If a judge approves, the new restrictions would apply for the election set for May 2013. NDP justice critic Leonard

Proven formulas for those fed-up with the rat race

NADIA CA

waiting for things to â€œturn aroundâ€?.

My name is Darren Weeks and I know from the bottom of my heart that everyone has the same chance. I am an average Joe. I grew up in a middle class family. I had no special breaks, and didnâ€™t know any famous people who gave me my start. I definitely didnâ€™t win any lottery.

One of my star students was a tradesperson who was fed up with trying to make ends meet every month. Rob Chaulk was a hard worker that knew his job wasnâ€™t going to make life any easier. He also dabbled in some businesses along the way in the restaurant and towing business.

But I have done very well for my age... ...and I have shown thousands of Canadians how to copy my formula for financial independence. My company, the Fast Track Group, has been ranked among Canadaâ€™s Fastest Growing Companies for two straight years now. Last year, we finished 40th on PROFIT Magazineâ€™s list. In 10 years, I have taken it from 5 employees in one tiny office, to over 100 employees and 12 offices. More than 350,000 Canadians have

No, they took action and realized that... ...turbulent times like this are where most of the wealthiest 1% made their biggest gains.

But he didnâ€™t become financially independent until he mastered the money game. I was fortunate enough to be the one who showed him how. He has quit the trades, and now owns multiple businesses and has millions of dollars in cash-flow-positive real estate properties. One simple shift in the way he thought about money, a solid action plan to move forward, and he now never again needs to worry about money or paying bills. I personally grew up in a middle class family with no special advantages or opportunities. The difference for me though was a significant desire to be and have more. It wasnâ€™t about all the fancy toys... for me it was about putting an end to the time for money trap I saw everyone else falling for. It was about seeing more of the world. It was about raising a young family in an environment that was positive about money, and the opportunities abound that created more money for those with initiative. I immersed myself in the â€œRich Dadâ€? philosophies, and ultimately worked directly with Robert Kiyosaki to teach Canadianâ€™s these same philosophies and how to take control of their financial future. I began investing in real estate. I started up businesses that supported my new money mindset. I tried to find others in Canada who I could talk to about this drive I had.

â€œThe difference for me though was a significant desire to be more and have more.â€? Darren Weeks

now attended Fast Track events. All our success has enabled us to support people that inspire us. The Fast Track Group is the title sponsor of Canadaâ€™s Luge team and we support them to the tune of over $1 million. On top of providing FREE financial education to all Canadians, my company is able to offer better returns and tax savings to our investors thanks to our partnerships with multinational Companies. All this growth has put me in the spotlight â€“ Iâ€™m a contributor for Canadian Real Estate Magazine and made countless TV appearances on stations such as BNN, CTV and City TV. Itâ€™s been a heck of a ride. Now itâ€™s time to teach you how I did it, and how you can do it too! My greatest pride in all of this? Seeing my clients, students and peers succeeding and thriving in the current economy. They didnâ€™t listen to the masses and lock themselves up in a dark basement, while

It was difficult to find people who thought about money like I did... Donâ€™t get me wrong, there were lots of successful Canadians out there, but I found it difficult to get them to sit with me and talk one-on-one about their own strategies for wealth creation. So I sought out those who wanted greater wealth in their own life. Then I systematized what I had personally done to create wealth, and shared it with them for their own personal use. Those who had the drive to follow my system, ended up making millions. They became friends. They became peers. They became my inner circle mastermind partners. And they encouraged me to take my system bigger and share it with more people in Canada. So I did. I have spoken to thousands of people from every corner of our great country. I shared with them my formula for creating wealth, starting from nothing, or starting with a solid base. My system worked for those who applied it. I travelled far too much and started to burn myself out. I stopped traveling and started leveraging. I built a team of 100 of the most passionate

people in the country. They helped me get my message out to those who wanted out of the rat race. We pulled in our best students and success stories, and had them share their own examples on the road. The best part? My STAR student will pass on the knowledge to you. The formula that I taught continued to work for others who I had never personally taught. My system worked for anyone who understood it and applied it, whether or not I taught it to them directly or through my students. Is it your turn to master the money mindset? ...Most people are broke, and will stay that way for the rest of their life. My company has organized an event coming up in your city and we would like you to join us. There is no cost to attend, but you do need to commit to being there. My team is here to make sure you get the tools you need for creating the independence you crave.

Each one of my wealthiest students and clients started off at a free event just like this. They heard about an event just like this put on by my company. They attended and absorbed every ounce of information shared, and took MASSIVE ACTION. Each of them is now financially independent and able to live life on their own terms. What should you do next? Pick up your phone and dial 1-877-742-4236 or visit our website at www.BCFastTrack.ca and reserve your seat there. Find one or more friends or family members who want out of the rat race like you do... and get them a seat booked as well.

Krog said the latest effort will likely be challenged again and rejected again. If the B.C. Liberals want to reform election spending, they should ban corporate and union donations to political parties as the NDP and B.C. Conservative parties have advocated, Krog said. In 2008, the B.C. Liberal government passed amendments to the B.C. Elections Act limiting spending by non-party advocacy groups to no more than $150,000 in the 60 days before the official 28-day election campaign. Registered political parties were restricted to spending $2.2 million during that time. editor@saanichnews.com

Memories

*Darren Weeks is not always the presenter at Fast Track events

If we were to try to categorize Jim Douglas by his accomplishments, these pages would be easily ďŹ lled. He was a man who supported himself and his family through his devotion to the motorcycle industry, an entrepreneur having owned his own business and a rider and racer. Helping others was his main criteria. Working with Bernie Simpson in the Nineteen Seventies at Mullins Marine Jim would recount how Bernie would sell the motorcycle to the customer â€œthen I would take them to the parking lot and run alongside while teaching them how to rideâ€?. A little different than returning to work at SG in 2006 where Jim worked parts and accessories. A true ambassador of two wheels, in the nineteen eighties Jim opened his own dirtbike shop, selling a new brand of competition bike, a shop where he would magically pull the part you needed from the back or mount your knobby tire for next to nothing just to spend time with you and get to know you. His Dad who also rode would usually be found hanging out at the shop talking about bikes. A favourite story of Jim, was how he tried to join a motorcycle club in the late nineteen sixties only to be denied for having long hair, even though it barely touched his shirt collar. It made him laugh at the differences between the past and the present. Regardless of the era though if you were lucky enough to deal with Jim you could be assured he would offer you old-fashioned, patient, honest and genuine customer service. Mr. Douglas lived life with his heart, he knew no other way, he was a beacon in time and will truly be missed.

Police recover dynamite in wake of home invasion bust Charla Huber News staff

The West Shore RCMP’s street crime unit recovered three sticks of dynamite on Wednesday (April 30) from a Langford home on Sooke Road. The address has not been released, but RCMP said it was a semi-rural area. The street crime unit executed a search warrant on the property one week after police arrested three men connected to the home. When officers searching the house discovered the dynamite, they contacted the RCMP explosives disposal unit in Vancouver. The unit disposed of three dyna-

mite sticks, each measuring 25 centimetres in length and 4 cm in diameter. The explosives had detonators attached, adding to the threat and unpredictability of the situation. “It could have killed or caused extensive damage to a building,” said Sgt. Max Fossum, West Shore RCMP. “I am not sure if it could have blown up a house, but it was enough to kill.” The search warrant stemmed from an investigation by West Shore RCMP and the Combined Forces Special Enforcement unit of B.C. The three men arrested April 24 were armed with handguns and wearing body armour outside of a

licensed medical marijuana grow operation in a rural area of Langford. Justin James Upton, Cody Fred Smith, 20, and Jake Cappello, 19, are all charged with using a firearm during a robbery, break and enter to commit an indictable offence and two counts of unauthorized possession of a firearm. Police had kept the men under surveillance and watched them coming and going from the Sooke Road home and entering the grow-op farm. “Public safety is our No. 1 priority. The investigation is ongoing and we are examining the evidence that has been collected,” Fossum said.

Dynamite sticks seized from a home on Sooke Road in Langford were ready to blow with electric detonators in each stick. Image courtesy West Shore RCMP
