Pub plans leave family flustered Bad timing and the march of progress leave Langford family feeling isolated from their neighbourhood Jim Zeeben News staff
A plan to eventually create the West Shore’s first brew pub sparked an eleventh hour appeal from a Langford family that says the development will leave it cut off from its neighbourhood. The MacEachern family, represented by Eric and Sandra and their 19-year-old daughter Emily, expressed their concerns at a public hearing in Langford city hall on May 22. The meeting is the second-to-last step of a process to rezone several lots owned by the Loghouse Pub. The MacEacherns say they’re worried about the loss of privacy as well as a potential hit to the value of their Belair Road home, which overlooks the pub’s current parking lot. However, the development fits with Langford’s Official Community Plan and council was quick to allow it to move along. The MacEacherns were upset enough by the development plans to gather a petition, which they presented to council. But what really seemed to anger the family was when two large trees were felled on the day of the public hearing, giving the impression that the development was going ahead even before official approval.
Problem.
“I think the unfortunate thing was, when I dropped the trees, they came down on the day of the public hearing,� said Longhouse Pub owner Ron Cheeke, who also owns the residential property next door to the MacEacherns. An apologetic Cheeke said a mixup led to the arborist cutting down the trees on that day. But once he started, it made little sense to stop before finishing the job. Cheeke plans on using the back half of his Belair Avenue property as pub parking while fixing up the rental home that currently resides on the front of the lot. Cheeke’s application also includes three lots on Millstream Avenue and would rezone all the properties from residential to neighbourhood mixed use. At the public hearing, acting mayor Denise Blackwell pointed out the optics of having an arborist cut down two trees on the subject property that morning. Still, Blackwell said Langford has few regulations to keep anyone from clearing trees on their land. The MacEachern family say they should have been given better notice before the trees were taken down. “The trees they chopped down were 10 to 12 feet from my door,� Eric MacEachern said, resigned to the fact he has little recourse at this point. “The thing with Langford – I’m getting this now after having dealt with council – there’s a deliberate ambiguity in terms of tree removal. If it’s on your property, have at it.� The pub was already there when the MacEacherns bought their home in 1991. PLEASE SEE: Brew pub planned, Page A23

Sandra and Eric MacEachern pose in the backyard of their Belair Avenue home, near a huge stump in their neighbour’s yard. The family is upset that the tree, located close to their home, was taken down on the same day as a public hearing to rezone the neighbour’s property.

The facts of teenage life First year of Belmont’s sexual health clinic deemed successful Kyle Wells News staff
O
ne hand goes for a lollipop while his other reaches to the shelf below for a condom. Within seconds, the Belmont secondary school student pops in and out of the school’s sexual health clinic, followed shortly after by another who comes in while his friend waits just outside the door. “Do you want condoms?� he asks his waiting friend. “Sure.� As the school year comes to an end so does the first year of the Island Sexual Health Society’s clinic at the school. By all accounts it has been well received and well used by students. It’s free, confidential, done on a drop-in basis with no appointments necessary and most any kind of medical examination and testing can be done right in the school. “There’s just such a need for that age group to access these services,� said Charlotte Brown, a registered nurse at the clinic. “We’re meeting the needs of them.� Walking into the clinic students are greeted with shelves of a variety of free condoms (flavoured condoms, female condoms, condoms in packages with packets of lubricant), candy (sour lollipops are the preferred choice) and a friendly assistant to talk to students and help them if they require further services. Students are able to come to the clinic with most problems and never have to visit a doctor’s office. The clinic is there to give out information, but with a registered nurse on hand it can also administer pregnancy tests, pap tests, prescribe birth control and screen and treat students for Sex-
Kyle Wells/News staff
Education assistant Caitlyn O’Brien, left, registered nurse Charlotte Brown and administrative coordinator Courtney Williams all say that the first year for the Island Sexual Health Society clinic at Belmont secondary school has been overwhelmingly positive. ually Transmitted Infections (STI). If students do need to be referred for other medical attention the nurse can do that as well. The services the nurse provides are well used. Every Thursday an average of 14 students will see the nurse for a variety of reasons. “A lot of school counsellors are really cool and have condoms
and that kind of stuff, but kids just don’t feel as comfortable,� said Courtney Williams, administrative coordinator. “Whereas, with us, I think they can recognize that nothing is going to shock us, that we’re not going to judge them and that this is what we do everyday.� The clinic is the first of its kind in a high school in Greater Victo-
ria. The society runs a six-day a week clinic on Fort Street downtown, and a one day a week clinic in View Royal on Tuesdays. But Belmont has the only clinic like it in Langford and the only one specifically for students. Credit for the idea goes to Sooke School District’s community liaison officer Scott Rothermel. He saw an existing nursing space existed that hadn’t been used in a couple of years. With the right contacts available to him, Rothermel made some calls and got the ball rolling. “My key is always as much prevention as we can put in place in education the better, and why not sexual health as well?� Rothermel said. “We’d be foolish to think they aren’t active at all. They’re teenagers. So why not have for them the best knowledge and the best protection?� Funding for the clinic came from a variety of sources, including one-time funding from Telus and West Shore Community Policing. They also got two-year funding from the United Way. Island Sexual Health Society executive director Bobbi Turner estimated it costs about $10,000 to run the clinic for a school year. The society is still securing funding to keep the clinic going next year, but Turner is confident it will come together. “It’s been really successful, there’s a lot of interest from the students, and also a lot of the community partners we work with ... (have) said how important it is to have something like this.� The reaction from students has been overwhelmingly positive, say staff, and there hasn’t been a single concern heard from parents, staff or anyone else. “Our big thing is just making sure people have access to accurate information so that they can make the decisions that are going to be best for them,� said Williams. “We just want to be here for some place that they can come and get whatever they need, in terms of sexual health.� news@goldstreamgazette.com
Kyle’s
weekend picks There’s a myriad of reasons to go check out the jazz trio Myriad at the Church of the Advent in Colwood on Sunday (I know, I know, but it writes itself.) This Jazz Vesper performance features Kyle three Wells talented Torontobased jazz musicians, including pianist Chris Donnelly, who has played at the Advent solo before. The trio is truly a jazz collective: There is no leader, just three skilled musicians doing what they do best. Check out this Friday’s Gazette for a full article on the band. As for movies, if you’re like me and appreciate movies that are dumb, raunchy and excessive, be sure to check out Piranha 3DD opening this weekend. A sequel to 2010’s guilty (but so not guilty) pleasure Piranha 3D, this won’t exactly be Oscar bait, but I respect an exploitation movie that knows what it is and has fun with it. Plus David Hasselhoff is in it, so you really can’t go wrong. Check out my blog CineFile at blogs.bclocalnews.com/cinefile for reviews of the latest theatrical and home video releases.

Inspiration comes full circle Rick Hansen pays tribute to Highlands woman for helping others
Bank robber sentenced for Colwood holdup On May 17, Noel Doddridge was sentenced at the Western Communities Courthouse to three-years in prison for robbing the CIBC in Colwood on Goldstream Avenue. The 37-year-old Doddridge entered the bank on Nov. 30, 2011, and stole an undisclosed amount of money. He has been in custody since December 2011, and will receive eight months off his sentence for time already served. The man has a lengthy criminal record starting in 1990. Most charges have been for break and enters. In 2008, he was convicted of robbery and use of a firearm for intimidation.

When Rick Hansen was just beginning his Man in Motion world tour, Marnie Essery joined the Intermunicipal Advisory Committee on Disability Issues. Twenty-five years later, Essery is now the chair of the committee. The Highlands resident has dedicated her life to helping remove barriers for people with disabilities and has been a key member of more than 20 different non-profit groups as an advocate for people with disabilities. Hansen inspired Essery when he began the Man in Motion tour. “I thought, I have barriers in my own community. How is he going to go around the world and achieve his goals?” When it comes to barriers, Essery knows them well. She’s spent most of her life in a wheelchair living with the repercussions of rheumatoid arthritis. For her years of service to the community, Essery was acknowledged as a “difference maker” and a medal-bearer in the Rick

Foster gala raises millions With some corporate donations still to be tallied, the David Foster Foundation’s Miracle Weekend has brought in $4.6 million for the locally raised musical star’s charity. “Victoria proved once again it is a hometown like no other,” said foundation CEO Mike Ravenhill. “A weekend event that was just 12 months in the making, kicked off by (Oak Bay Beach Hotel owners) Kevin and Shawna Walker, has set the stage for another 25 years of our foundation.” Money raised will go toward providing financial support to Canadian families with children in need of life-saving organ transplants. The Miracle Weekend, held at the Fairmont Empress and Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre, saw 29 people purchase the full $10,000 weekend package and thousands buy tickets to individual events. On Friday night, 300 people walked up the purple carpet at the Empress to have dinner and enjoy an intimate concert with Foster, where tickets sold for $500. Premium tickets for Saturday night’s arena performance – which included a gala dinner and a live auction – went for $1,000. The event attracted 700 people. Another 4,130 people attended the concert, shelling out between $75 and $250 per seat. Onlookers hoping to get a glimpse of the stars and perhaps an autograph or two crowded entranceways to both venues. The event was also supported by 150 volunteers. rholmen@vicnews.com

Cosmetic Advantages If you’ve been thinking about changing from glasses to contact lenses, it is probably for the cosmetic advantages. They fit closely to your eyes so that few people notice that you are wearing corrective lenses. However, this is just one of several advantages of wearing contact lenses. Contacts permit a wider field of vision than eyeglasses. There is no frame to get in your line of sight when you look to the left, right, up or down. The close fit presents a less distorted and more realistic view of the world around us. A tendency to allow for more efficient eye coordination is still another advantage, particularly in sports. They do require more conscientious care than glasses, because they must be kept clean, free of irritants and harmful bacteria. If you think you would like to wear contacts, ask your Optometrist if he or she would recommend them for you.

All parties have been contacted and a decision has been made to leave the tsunami Harley-Davidson in its current condition. The corroded, sand-filled motorcycle will be displayed in the Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin as a testament to its incredible journey and the tragic story behind it. The bike washed ashore on a beach in Haida Gwaii at the end of April after being swept out to sea in the tsunami that hit Japan in 2011. It travelled across the ocean in a container box. Upon hearing of the story of the bike, Langford businessman Steve Drane had the idea to restore the motorcycle and return it to its owner in Japan. Plans changed, however, as the story attracted worldwide media attention. The bike is now in Vancouver under the care of Deeley HarleyDavidson Canada. It will soon make its journey to Milwaukee, the home of Harley-Davidson headquarters. The decision was made with input from the Canadian, U.S. and Japanese divisions of HarleyDavidson, who worked with the Japanese owner of the motorcycle, Ikuo Yokoyama, to come up with a solution. Yokoyama, while touched that Drane and others were willing to fix his bike and return it to him,

The Harley eventually washed ashore on Haida Gwaii, before being shipped to Steve Drane Harley-Davidson store in Langford and temporarily placed on display. decided that he would rather see it “preserved in its current condition and exhibited to the many visitors .. as a memorial to a tragedy that claimed thousands of lives,” he said in a press release. In the tsunami, Yokohama lost three family members and his home. The 29-year-old is still living in temporary housing in Miyagi Prefecture. “I am very grateful to the Harley-Davidson Museum for offering me an opportunity to visit
the museum, and I would like to do that when things have calmed down,” Yokohama said. While on display at Drane’s Langford store, the motorcycle drew hundreds of people. Some were quite taken by the sight of the bike, Drane said, and would spend a few moments in silence taking in the story it tells. “You couldn’t tell a story this good if the bike was restored,” Drane said. “It just mystified people.” news@goldstreamgazette.com

Oceans Day festival celebrates power of youth
Transit review panel won’t promise regional control Natalie North News staff
From Sooke to Sidney, every Greater Victorian pays for transit, but not every municipality has an equal say over how their tax dollars are spent. The unjust nature of taxation without representation was the primary argument Capital Regional District directors brought to the board table on Wednesday (May 23), when they asked to take control of regional transit planning. If given the chance to assume the role of the Victoria Regional Transit Commission, the CRD could deliver better service, make B.C. Transit spending more transparent and hold local politicians more accountable to taxpayers, directors argued. “My colleagues in local government refer to transit in third person … it’s not a part of us,” said Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard. “We take no ownership of it, we take no responsibility for it, and … we can criticize it quite freely without feeling conflicted.” Leonard leads the CRD’s transportation select committee, which formed last year to improve regional transportation and to discuss seeking transit control with a Ministry of Transportationappointed independent review panel. That talk came one year after the board first pitched the plan to the province. “Even if the government does move governance to the CRD, there still is this problem around accountability on the spending side of B.C. Transit. With or without this change, that still needs to be addressed,” Leonard said. “We would like to see a mechanism by which B.C. Transit is more responsible and accountable to local government. Full stop.” Directors expressed frustration with the makeup of the Victoria Regional Transit Commission, which has representation from seven elected officials hailing from just five of 13 municipalities and one electoral district in the CRD. While not every director felt the CRD’s proposed transit takeover would eliminate transportation planning woes, most agreed the power shift would be the first step in the right direction. Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins, who joined the commission following November’s municipal election, expressed frustration over her municipality’s representation on the commission for the previous six years by Christopher Causton, the former mayor of Oak Bay. Desjardins spoke in support of the increased
representation, but remained on the fence over whether or not the CRD should helm transit planning – an endeavour she hopes to see approached holistically, with rail included in the conversation. “It has to be multi-modal,” Desjardins said. “For me (B.C.) Transit is transit … They don’t do anything other than buses in this region. They can’t think outside the bus.” Though he remains a strong proponent of the change, Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin acknowledged one potential pitfall of allowing more voices in on the transportation discussion. “The big danger of bringing it to the board is that everybody gets their small piece and so all we ever do is fix roads, but we never, ever really collectively pool our stuff together to actually get something big that moves us forward,” Fortin said. “That’s the risk, right? We’d never actually do anything big.” The B.C. Transit independent review panel, comprised of ex-Ministry of Finance staffer Chris Trumpy, consultant Catherine Holt and longtime transit planner John King, were receptive to the proposal, but didn’t make any promises on the future of transit governance. “You’ve got half of the solution, maybe, but you don’t have the other half, which is the relationship with B.C. Transit,” Holt said. The panel, now midway through meeting with local governments across the province, has until the end of August to submit recommendations to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure based on information gathered from community consultations and B.C. Transit. nnorth@saanichnews.com

Stars shine for Foster charity While the event was supposed to celebrate the grand reopening of the still-under-construction Oak Bay Beach Hotel, the David Foster Foundation 25th Anniversary Miracle Weekend went off without a hitch. It raised more than $4.6 million for the foundation, which supports families with children in need of organ transplants. And if that was not enough, Kevin and Shawna Walker, owners of the Oak Bay Beach Hotel, have pledged to raise $2 million for the foundation over the next 10 years through proceeds from ticket sales to the David Foster Foundation Theatre, to be located in the new hotel. Greater Victoria hosted a smorgasbord of stars and icons last weekend, including Wayne Gretzky, Rick Hansen, Michael Bublé, Sarah McLaughlin, Sinbad, Ruben Studdard, Josh Groban, Muhammad Ali and the Canadian Tenors. The weekend included two star-studded dinners, an auction and a concert, giving Greater Victoria locals plenty of opportunity to see some of their favourite celebrities, if not rub shoulders with them. On Friday, Foster was honoured with a little bit of real estate, as a pathway from Ogden Point to the Johnson Street Bridge, and eventually to Rock Bay, was dubbed David Foster Way. Bublé, a longtime friend of Foster, who referred to him as a “father figure,” was the impetus behind the naming project and claimed to have driven Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin nuts with his enthusiasm for the project. In his acceptance speech, Foster attempted to one-up Bublé by telling Fortin, in front of the crowd, that “the city deserves a beautiful performing arts centre right on the water.” He followed that up with the statement: “Mayor, I’m going to be on your ass for the next 10 years.” Give the guy a pathway and he wants a performing arts centre. Which, of course would be great, if not for the fact that the residents of Victoria likely aren’t in a position to foot the bill for a performing arts centre located on the waterfront. Foster and friends are quick to put their money where their mouths are when it comes to charity, but would they do the same for the arts in Victoria? What do you think?

He’s a life-saver and a diplomat. gemort@pacificcoast.net – G.E. Mortimore is a Langford-based writer and regular columnist with the Gazette.

LETTERS Backup dispatch a good idea for the region One thing that I have not seen addressed in suggestions that the South Island should have one dispatch centre is the backup in case of earthquakes. In my many years in the Canadian Forces we were taught to always have an alternate headquarters in battle. The same principle should apply in emergency response capability, in my opinion. The proposed upgrade to the Langford centre should include the capability to serve the entire area if needed.

Terry Sterling of Single Hill Farm arranges some of the fresh produce in his stall at the first Goldstream Station Market of the summer. The market is every Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Bryn Maur Rd. off Goldstream Avenue, until Oct. 13.
Does View Royal need a helping hand to balance taxes? I am very concerned to have read the letter in the Wednesday, May 16 Goldstream News Gazette (Re: “More information needed for fire hall”) regarding View Royal’s financial situation and future property tax implications. As a new resident to View Royal, I am surprised at what are already extremely high property taxes for here. Is it too small a municipality to cope on its own? Perhaps View Royal would be more efficient and effective as part of Langford or Saanich. Is it time for View Royal to send a survey to its residents to decide what may serve the municipality best, before 2012 property taxes sky-rocket? Jo Ann Dreher View Royal
No thank you to cosmetic pesticides in Langford Yesterday, I went for a walk along Goldstream Avenue. I saw “Warning” signs up in some greenspaces near the sidewalk, so I crossed the green spaces to read them. To my dismay, they were signs warning that pesticides had been sprayed on the areas I had just crossed. I took note of the names of the pesticides and looked them up when I got home. Some pretty serious poison (glyphosate, aka Roundup) was sprayed on an area likely to be walked on by people and their pets, and the warning was far enough back that I couldn’t read it without walking through it. If a substance is so poisonous that one needs to put up a sign, it would be lovely if it were put in a position that one did not need to walk through the poison to read it. Really, Langford? Couldn’t we show some green initiative and use natural pesticides? I know the provincial special committee said we don’t need a ban, but why not do what the Canadian Cancer Society recommends and eliminate the use of cosmetic pesticides, just on principle? Shannon West Langford
Something stinks with sewage treatment plant So much is unclear about this land-based sewage treatment plant plus sludge energy centre: the siting, homeowner costs, fate of the sludge, etc. Why not use this time before the funding is confirmed to try to clarify the major outstanding issues? The biggest issue is that a comprehensive

environmental impact assessment (EIA) for both marine and land still needs to be done. Unfortunately, the CRD is obeying the dictate of BC government and allowing this massive sewage plant to proceed with only the minimum reporting under Municipal Sewage Regulations and is avoiding an important BC Environmental Assessment Act EIA report. Several Victoria marine scientists, engineers and public health doctors have expressed skepticism that the sewage plant will provide any measurable improvement to our marine environment and say that the sewage plant will produce thousands of tonnes of sludge and greenhouse gases. Everybody who owns or rents a toilet in the CRD sewage area may have to pay up to $500 a year for this land-based sewage treatment when our current marine-based sewage treatment system is working well, is sustainable and actually produces no sewage sludge and few greenhouse gases.

B.C. Ferries needs to cut costs from the top down Recent interviews were being conducted on the streets of Victoria. The topic was “What should we do to keep the B.C. Ferries afloat?” Answers included the idea of a casino being introduced, create more shops and shopping outlets, and have a better variety of food. This is supposed to bring more business? We must be crazy. A simple answer to the problem is to eliminate (or at least reduce) the high-paying manager positions, and lower the wages all around for employees. Attitudes need to be adjusted, as so many think that they are irreplacable. There are so many people that would take the job (any position) in a heartbeat for a much more reasonable wage. $18/hour is ample for what the workers are really
doing. Top guys? 80-90k./year. Why would we need to pay them more? After all, 99% of us have to contribute to the well paying jobs, whether we want to or not. My attitude to this, which i’m sure many will agree: if you can’t afford to live on $18 an hour, get another job. Many of us have to do this. I truly doubt that there is such a thing as “over worked and under paid” when working for a crown corporation/ institution. Stefan Mieczkowski Langford
Solar Colwood a bright solution for energy conservation I have read many of the negative comments concerning the Solar Colwood program and feel morally obliged to offer a rebuttal. I am disappointed that Solar Colwood, a pro-active and innovative program, is facing criticism when instead it should be recognized for the “thinking out of the box” program it is. Some critics like to point to the costs associated with the implementation of the program. I’d argue that they are a “drop in the bucket” in the grand scheme of things. The participants can see tangible results almost immediately, unlike some government expenditures. The energy spent opposing this program could be better directed at the provincial government for pillaging the BC Hydro coffers. It all screams of complaining for the sake of complaining and personal vendettas. Sure there may be wrinkles in the program but what new innovative program doesn’t have it’s fair share of growing pains? Give it a chance. We have long enjoyed relatively cheap electricity rates in British Columbia but with increased demand we face massive infrastructure upgrades. We have a choice: either build new hydro dams or reduce demand through conservation. Conservation measures are much less costly than dam building, so for me the choice is clear. In any case, it’s inevitable that rates will rise sharply. Are we prepared to deal with increased hydro costs or just whine about
paying our bills? I say be innovative, conserve and upgrade. It’s either spending more on hydro or try to fix, or at the very least control, costs by completing heating upgrades. Either way you’re going to pay, the difference being in the later scenario you have more control. I would argue it’s smarter to support Solar Colwood, throw on a sweater, and change energy consumption behaviours. In the last seven months I have installed a ductless heat pump and solar hot water system and have taken advantage of the grants offered. I have recorded the daily electricity usage since the first installation and compared it to last year’s usage. Our household usage of electricity has declined by 15% from the November-May billing period. This translates to a 4679 Kwh decrease in consumption. With the largest decrease in consumption being the AprilMay 2012 billing period of 86 kwh per day from 140 kwh per day in 2011. Please note that the savings from the solar hot water system haven’t really factored in since we haven’t had any sustained sunny weather. This can be confirmed by comparing B.C. Hydro data. In this age of environmental awareness, we are morally bound to treat mother nature more kindly than we have in the past, and reducing our energy consumption is one of the easier measures we can all take. My family would like to thank all of the persons associated with Solar Colwood. Solar Colwood should be commended for providing middle class families the ability to participate in technologies only the privileged could previously afford. I’m a firm believer that the Solar Colwood program should be implemented nationally. Colwood should be recognized as a progressive leader in supporting sustainable solar/energy efficient technologies. The decreased residential hydro demand and resulting diminished carbon footprint, economic stimulation and long term cost savings for homeowners and businesses should be enough to emulate the program nationally.

Hospital Foundation seeks support Campaign kicks off to raise funds for surgical equipment
VGH medical director of surgical services Dr. Will Orrom announces the Victoria Hospitals Foundation’s goal to raise $290,000.
Kyle Wells News staff
Victoria Hospitals Foundation kicked off its 2012 Spring Campaign on Friday, May 25, looking for help purchasing new surgical equipment. This year’s focus for funding is minimal invasive surgery equipment for Victoria General Hospital (VGH). This equipment allows surgeons to perform a variety of procedures with a reduced impact on patients, leading to faster recovery times and more efficient and effective surgery. Inserting a slender tube with a camera into

a small incision, the equipment, called a laparoscope, becomes “the eyes and the hands” of the doctor. Having this option available means that more invasive procedures, involving large incisions and potential danger, are avoidable. The goal is to raise $390,000 to replace the current equipment, which is showing its age. This funding will allow for the purchase of four surgery towers,

used in a variety of situations, including orthopedic, abdominal, neural and gynecological operations. The new camera is three generations ahead of the older model in use and of a much higher quality. “As our equipment deteriorates we begin to see malfunctions in it, or it has to be fixed,” Orrom said. “It becomes more and more difficult to get the level of quality we need to achieve the procedures that we do.” In 1988 VGH clinical nurse leader Marcy McKay had her gallbladder removed, a procedure which resulted in a large incision, a weeklong recovery in hospital and six to eight weeks before she could return to work. Two years ago, McKay had surgery to remove an adrenal gland on her kidney, this time using the minimal invasive surgery equipment. With only four small incisions necessary, McKay was able to go home the day after her surgery and return to work in two weeks time. “Minimally invasive technology is the gold standard for patient care,” McKay said in a video shown at Friday’s campaign launch, “and I firmly believe that the people of Victoria deserve to have the gold standard of care.” The foundation annually funds about 40 per cent of the equipment purchases at both VGH and Royal Jubilee Hospital, supplementing government funding. The foundation raises around $6 million annually. Orrom kicked things off by personally donating $100 to the cause and challenging his colleagues to do the same or better.

Candlelight vigil to honour veterans More than a few tears will likely be shed tomorrow (May 31) when 3,500 candles glow as night settles over a 144-year-old military veterans ceremony. The annual candlelight vigil will once again be held at God’s Acre Veterans’ Cemetery in Esquimalt, honouring military members who have served their country. The public event, co-hosted by Veterans Affairs Canada and the Esquimalt Dockyard Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, will happen in and amongst the 2,500 monuments and 25 interment markers of air force, navy and army service personnel who have passed on. During the 45-minute ceremony, past and present military members will pass their candles to the next generation – Cadets, Girl Guides and Scouts – who will then place the glowing wax columns on gravestones.
This year the memorial will also pay special homage to Esquimalt’s centenary. The tribute happens at 6:45 p.m. at the cemetery, located off Colville Road behind the Department of National Defence baseball diamonds. Parking is limited. For details, call the Esquimalt Dockyard Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion at 250-386-7635.
“It’s paying respect to our fallen comrades, and that’s really important – to let young people know what the veterans went through.” – Bob Haldane “Every grave has at least one (candle). The kids make sure of that,” organizer Bob Haldane said. “It’s paying respect to our fallen comrades, and that’s really important – to let
young people know what the veterans went through.” CFB Esquimalt’s Naden Band and the Victoria Children’s Choir will perform and refreshments will be provided.

Pumping out surprises Travis Paterson News staff
If you’re thinking polkas, you’re thinking wrong. There will always be a time and a place for the Central European genre of music so closely associated with the accordion. But it’s the wrong association to make to the B.C. Accordion Orchestra, says conductor Aleksandar Milojevic. “Our shows are a lot of fun and our musicians are some of the best in the world, it’s something people who haven’t seen us won’t realize.” The Victoria-based orchestra, which draws on musicians from the Island and beyond, is holding its annual concert in the Alix Goolden Hall on Thursday (May 31). The performance is full of surprises as it moves through the classical, tango, jazz, ethnic and pop genres, the latter being the only type of music to start with a ‘P.’ “We have returning members of our audience, who know what to expect, which means they don’t know what to expect, except for great music,” Milojevic said.
B.C. Accordion Society
World-class accordionist Jelena Milojevic leads the B.C. Accordion Orchestra at the Alix Goolden Hall. A former player himself, Milojevic will lead a dozen accordions through the various arrangements. Thursday is also the accordion society’s campaign kickoff for the Coupe Mondiale in August 2013, when the world’s biggest accordion event comes to Victoria. “It’s going to be a major event, bringing hundreds of the world’s top accordionists and thousands of spectators to Victoria.” It’s the first time the Coupe Mondiale, the most prestigious accordion competition of inter-
national scope which takes place each year, will come to Canada. Last year it was in China and this year it’s set for Italy. Milojevic is hard at work netting major sponsors for the event, and is in meetings with the ministry of community, sport and cultural development in planning for the event. Even sooner, however, is the Victoria Accordion Festival from July 19 to 22.

Look Like YOURSELF Again!
Author speaks on author British historian Peter Clarke will be at Fairfield United Church, 1303 Fairfield Rd., 7:30 p.m. on June 5 to read from his new book Mr. Churchill’s Profession. Although much was written about Sir Winston Churchill as a statesman and world leader, surprisingly little attention has been given to Churchill’s life as a writer. Writing was, in fact, his primary means of earning a living and earned him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953. Clarke’s narrative gives particular attention to the making of his four-volume History of the English-Speaking Peoples, showing the themes that shaped
Churchill’s philosophy and world view. Clarke was formerly Professor of Modern British history and Master of Trinity Hall at Cambridge. His many books include The Last Thousand Days of the British Empire, The Keynesian Revolution in the Making, 1924–1936, and the widely admired final volume of the Penguin History of Britain, Hope and Glory, Britain 1900–2000. He lives with his wife, the Canadian writer Maria Tippett, in Suffolk, England, and Pender Island, B.C. Tickets, $5, are available at Munro’s Books, 1108 Government St.

Immigration flow may be impacted by office closure Erin McCracken News staff
The closure of the Victoria office of Citizenship and Immigration Canada to the public on Friday (June 1) may discourage future immigrants from settling in the Capital Region. Immigrants won’t have the convenience of applying in person for temporary and permanent residency or changing their visa status, for example, said James Fultanum, who manages a program at the Victoria Immigrant and Refugee Centre Society that helps skilled newcomers gain employment. As well, he said, having fewer immigrants would take an economic toll on the region, employ-
ers would have fewer employee choices and there would be less cultural diversity in the region. “(Greater Victoria is) not becoming as friendly to newcomers as we’d love it to be,” Fultanum said. “I think the closure of CIC will be one extra stress, one extra negative factor. If you don’t make Victoria attractive on different levels, people will not come to Victoria.” After Friday, the nine affected Victoria employees will no longer meet with people applying for temporary and permanent residency, landed immigrant status and permanent residency cards. The office will be staffed until June 29. Regional offices in Victoria, Nanaimo, Prince George and Kelowna are among 19 offices being closed across Canada.
By the numbers ■ Citizenship and Immigration Canada positions terminated in Victoria: 9 ■ Permanent residency applications processed in Victoria last year: 2,011
Their services will be offered at other locations, or be made available online. “As more services are provided electronically, we are confident that fewer people will find it necessary to visit local offices,” said Lisa-Marie Gagné, spokesperson for Citizenship and Immigration Canada in the B.C.Yukon region. “CIC is making changes to the way it operates. It is stepping up
the pace of modernizing the way it works, reducing overhead costs and continuing to streamline programs and operations.” But Fultanum noted that not all immigrants have access to a computer. Those services requiring face-to-face contact, such as citizenship ceremonies and language testing, will be “part of the itinerant services offered to communities in which an office was closed,” Gagné said. The union representing affected employees worries the job cuts, in addition to an upcoming pilot project through which permanent resident cards will be mailed directly to applicants, will compromise the integrity of the application process.
A Public Service Alliance of Canada spokesperson said employees at the regional offices are trained to spot fraudulent paperwork, such as passports, for example. But Citizenship and Immigration Canada said wait times will be reduced by four weeks for online applicants who normally would have picked up their cards in person. Employees whose positions are being terminated will receive a new offer of employment, or, if that isn’t possible, be offered exit options. Gagné couldn’t say how much money will be saved through the closure of the Victoria office, with budget figures “still in flux.” emccracken@vicnews.com
Gazette and sister papers recognized with national awards Community newspaper awards handed out Your community paper has once again been recognized as being among the top of its class in Canada. Goldstream News Gazette editor Jim Zeeben placed second for Best National Editorial for a piece written about the tricky relationship our society has with liquor consumption. The piece was written while Zeeben helmed the Saanich
News, which was awarded a Blue Ribbon for all-around general excellence in the 25,000-over circulation category at the 2012 Canadian Community Newspaper Association awards. Saanich News reporter Kyle Slavin captured first place in the Best Environmental Writing category for his series that followed up a home heating oil spill last November. The Goldstream News Gazette also earned a Blue Ribbon, as did the Victoria News.
Both papers are in the 12,500 to 24,999 circulation category. Individually, Victoria News reporter Erin McCracken was awarded second place for Best Multimedia Feature in the 10,000 and over circulation category. Her print story, accompanied by a photo and an online video, explored the impact of changes to B.C.’s drunk driving laws on Victoria police. Cartoonist Ole Heggen’s illustration of children playing cards in an alley, under a newsline about View Royal casino leading
the way in unattended children incidents, earned second place for Best Local Cartoon in the 10,000 and over category. Both pieces are in the highest circulation class of 10,000 and over. The CCNA awards represent the best work done in the country in 2011 among 342 newspapers that submitted a total of 2,494 entries. Winners are determined by peer judges from across Canada and were announced last month. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Brew pub planned Continued from Page A1
However, the MacEacherns say in recent years it’s gone from a relatively quiet neighbourhood pub to a busier and louder drinking establishment. “We are the residents who will be the most severely affected by this,” Eric MacEachern said, noting that the rezoning creates a separation between them and the other residential homes on their street. “It divides us from our neighbourhood.” In a letter to council, Emily MacEachern said there are an average of 1.4 complaints to police about the pub per week, according to the RCMP. She says the only way to stop people in the parking lot from seeing into her home is to keep the blinds and curtains drawn on all their windows. Her father, visually impaired since 2001, says he’s not sure what can be done other than rezoning his land to match his neighbour. The family has no plans to move away from the noise and smells that come with living next to a pub. “I’ve just accepted it as part of living beside the establishment,” he said. The rezoning will become official once the developer shows council that he has satisfied a standard list of requirements. Cheeke hopes to break ground this September, eventually converting half of his existing beer store into the first brewpub on the West Shore and turning the other half into a coffee shop that he’ll lease out to another operator. “We live by the rules and we play by the rules,” Cheeke said, adding he plans on putting up a fence between the properties once he builds a new 10,000 square-foot liquor store. “We have a great pub and we try to be a good neighbour.” editor@saanichnews.com

For the first time in almost a decade, Belmont girls soccer team is playing in provincials. The senior team starts tomorrow in what will be an uphill battle to get out of their division. “Realistically, if we finish in the middle of the pack we will have done well,” said the club’s long time coach Lloyd Powell. “But when these girls play the kind of game they’re capable of they could finish higher than that.” Belmont earned its place in the B.C.s after placing third in the Island championships, held earlier this month in Campbell River. “For me, it wasn’t unexpected. They’re a very strong group of soccer players,” Powell said, noting that the team has benefited from players being involved with the Victoria Highlanders organization, which actively develops young talent for its men’s and women’s elite teams. Belmont starts its provincial tourney Thursday morning against Kitsilano at the Newton Athletic Park in Surrey. That afternoon, the West Shore school plays South Delta and then Mt. Boucherie on Friday. It’s a tough division, says coach Powell, who won’t be able to attend the tournament. Co-coach Nicole Mann will guide the team. If Belmont is to win, they’ll need to keep getting solid goaltending from Maddie Creasey. “She did a great job for us in net,” Powell said. “You need a strong keeper to do well.” Big things are also expected from Grade 11 mid-fielder Krista Livingstone as well as her sister, Grade 10 striker Marisa Livingstone. “I could name half a dozen girls who have done really well for us,” Powell said. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Then on Saturday, Hesjedal once again completed the demanding final stretch while having to pace the maglia rosa pack, with his rivals drafting his slipstream up the steep climb. The conspiring of Rodriguez, Basso and Scarponi, as well as others, attempted to bump Hesjedal out Friday and Saturday, the contenders could not. “We were supposed to

The Victoria Shamocks (2-0) didn’t dominate the visiting Maple Ridge Burrards (0-2) on Friday, but they nearly did, winning 8-4. Rookie head coach Bob Heyes wants to see more from his offensive group, starting with a home game against the Nanaimo Timbermen (2-1) Friday night (June 1), at 7:45 p.m. at Bear Mountain Arena. “With the group we have, we should be more effective offensively,” Heyes said. “We scored goals when we needed to (Friday) but we made it hard on ourselves.” The ’Rocks controlled the first and third periods against the Burrards, but a let down in the second period allowed the Burrards to take a 4-3 lead.

He also got into a fight at the final buzzer sounded, with Kevin Reid. “First (fight) of my life, don’t even know how it started,” Pires said. “I think we were good (on Friday), and the other team will have their pushes, but we don’t want to get in that situation.” Corey Small was also key up front with a natural hat trick that tied the game 4-4 and put the ’Rocks up 6-4. “We have a good mix of kids and vets,” Heyes said. “The kids have lots of energy, and instead of a few guys doing it all it’s everybody.

If he doesn’t make any (mistakes) he’ll be the winner.” Rodriguez was right. “I had to fight for this Giro, (my competitors) weren’t helping me, and it makes this victory even sweeter,” Hesjedal said in response to the mountain stages. “I had help from my team,
SPORTS NEWS IN BRIEF
Diver McCormick Olympic-bound Saanich diver Riley McCormick is going to the Olympics. McCormick closed the book on his winter struggles with a first place effort on the men’s 10 metre tower at the Diving Canada Olympic trials in Montreal on Sunday. The Claremont secondary grad completed an incredible fifth-round reverse dive, which earned perfect 10s from four of the judges, and clinched McCormick’s second-consecutive trip to the Olympics. McCormick ended the competition with 979.80 points. Eric Sehn (Edmonton) was second with 863.65. “I knew I had the potential to put it all together. This was one of my best career perfor-
who did what they could. But my rivals put the pressure on … as we approached the last part of the Stelvio, my rivals weren’t willing to work because they felt it was my race to lose. It’s tactics and situation, and I had to save my own Giro in the last five kms, and that makes it that much sweeter.” Also sweetening it was multiple kisses with wife Ashley Hofer, and seeing his father, as well as Tour de Victoria organizer Seamus McGrath at the Stelvio summit. As for Hesjedal’s status in July’s Tour de France and this summer’s London Olympics, the Giro champ said he’ll begin putting a plan together soon. “Once I have started to see my name with the previous winners who’ve accomplished this, it will sink in, but I’m just enjoying it right now.” Earlier this year Hesjedal’s seventh-place finish at the 2010 Tour de France was bumped to sixth after that year’s winner, Alberto Contador, was disqualfied for doping. sports@vicnews.com
■ Since 1931, the Giro leaders jersey, known as the maglia rosa, has been pink to reflect the colour of La Gazzetta Dello Sport. Like the Tour de France, the Giro, which started in 1909, was created to increase the readership of newspapers.
Ryder ready for Olympics ■ Asked repeatedly on Sunday about competing for Canada at the upcoming Olympics, Hesjedal responded: “It’s the last thing on my mind right now, I don’t even know the selection date to be honest. But I’ve said all along I want to do it. I don’t see why I shouldn’t be in London, but we’ll see.” Hesjedal represented Canada as a mountain biker in the 2004 Olympics and road cyclist at the 2008 Olympics.

Comox to hold Cyclone Taylor Cup
Adam O’Meara tops at Shawnigan Lake
The Comox Valley Glacier Kings have won the bid to host the 2013 Cyclone Taylor Cup. The junior B provincial championship rotates between all three leagues in B.C., the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League, Pacific International Junior Hockey League, and Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League. The Glacier Kings will face the respective winner of each league from April 11 to 14.
Victoria long-distance triathlete Adam O’Meara repeated as the Shawnigan Lake HalfIron triathlon champion on Sunday. O’Meara’s time of four hours, four minutes and 54 seconds was more than a minute slower on the rejigged 2012 course than his 2011 winning time of 4:03:36. Wade Carlson (Penticton) and Nathan Killiam (Surrey) finished second and third overall, respectively, on the 1.9-kilometre swim, 88-km bike and 21.1-km run of the Half Iron. Vancouver’s Rachel Kiers overtook Stephanie Ossenbrink (Richmond) in the swim to finish as the top woman with a time of 4:24:41. Shawnigan is the first race of the Subaru Western Triathlon Series, which continues June 17 at Elk Lake.
Correction The May 25 issue of the News incorrectly referred to Lambrick Park coach Chris Lubinich as complying with a vote by the Saanich district teachers. Lambrick Park is part of the Greater Victoria School District 61. The News regrets the error.

A young Langford gymnast won three medals at a recent championship and is eyeing even bigger wins in her future. More than 600 athletes representing four provinces competed at the Western Canada Gymnastics Championships in Langley from May 3 to 6. Competing with Team B.C., Brianne Kerr won a bronze with the team. In individual events, still representing Team B.C., Kerr went on to win bronze for her performance in vault and gold in the floor exercise event. The 14 year old has competed before at the B.C. Winter Games but this was her first time attending the Western Canada Championships. A gymnast since age eight (“a late starter,” said Kerr), she has ambitions to compete in national championships next year and, eventually, the Olympics. Winning in these particular events came as a bit of a surprise to Kerr, whose best event is usu-

ally the bars. Kerr had two falls during the bar event at the championships and didn’t do as well as hoped, but she made up for it with impressive showings in two events she doesn’t always excel in. “Usually floor’s not my strongest, so I was pretty surprised I did so good on it,” Kerr said. Kerr’s coach, Jackie Sedore at Lions Pride Gymnastics, said that maintaining consistency is both the key to winning and the hardest part of competition. “She brought her A-plus game on that day,” Sedore said. “She really stood out because of the way she presented and did everything as tidy as possible.” Kerr practises five days a week, four hours a day, and is keeping her focus on achieving her goals. “I’m committed to it,” Kerr said. “I set goals and I’m determined to make those goals.” Coach Sedore believes she is heading in the right direction. “You’ve got to work your way up to go into Westerns, so it’s a pretty good reward and it’s not something that everyone can achieve,” Sedore said. “And to win a medal at it, that’s even better. Two medals, even better.” news@goldstreamgazette.com
