SEARCH AT SEA

It’s tragic. They were just in sight of shore. - Saanich police Sgt. Dean Jantzen

Sharon Tiffin/News staff

Canadian Coast Guard hovercraft Siyay from Richmond and a helicopter search the shores of small islands off Oak Bay looking for a missing canoeist.

Full-scale operation launched to find missing canoeist One boater rescued, search called off for second young man Edward Hill and Natalie North News staff

A young Saanich man remains missing after his canoe capsized Friday night near Ten Mile Point during a camping venture that turned terribly tragic. Two young men, each 20-year-old Saanich

residents, launched their canoe from Telegraph Bay Cove July 6 with the intention of camping on nearby Discovery Island. The canoe capsized when they transited Baynes Channel near Ten Mile Point and the men clung to a dry bag of camping gear. Residents of the point heard their cries for help and called police. Neither was wearing a life jacket, and no personal floatation devices were in the canoe. One of the men was found clinging to Tod Rock near Mary Tod Island off Oak Bay at 12:25 a.m. He was plucked from the

rocks with hypothermia, but released in good health Saturday from Royal Jubilee Hospital. “He was severely hypothermic when they found him, but the best that could be expected for being in the water for an hour and a half,” said Kim Bentzon, station leader with the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue, station 33, Oak Bay, who attended the call. Unfortunately after an exhaustive water and shoreline search Friday night and Saturday morning, the second man hasn’t been

found (as of the News deadline Monday). “The fellows did not have (personal floatation devices) and that’s certainly the first thing any boater should always have,” Bentzon said. “For the one fellow who made it to the rock, that was great, but for the other fellow, not so.” Saanich police Sgt. Dean Jantzen said the men became separated in the water in the dark near Tod Rock. PLEASE SEE: Weather calm, Page A5

CeltFest Vancouver Island will have its central headquarters at the Canadian College of Performing Arts in Oak Bay. “We’re excited about the partnership with CeltFest. I think it’s a great addition to the Oak Bay community,” said Ron Schuster, director of the Canadian College of Performing “I think it’s Arts. “We like to be able to other activities and bring a great addition support other assets into the community.” to the Oak Bay The annual event was held in Shawnigan, Nanaimo and community.” Parksville before making the - Ron Schuster move to Victoria for its 12th year. “We’ve had a number of CeltFest related events, like single concerts in Victoria over the years,” said festival producer Carolyn Phillips Cusson. “We’ve always detected a really warm welcome from the Victoria gang.” Part of the mandate of the CeltFest is to move around the Island, spreading the culture. “We did search around and we were looking at a number of venues and the CCPA just suited our needs perfectly,” she said. It fit with the multiple

events that include a concert series, summer school and workshops. “We wanted to contain it in one building to make it manageable,” she said. “They’re very suited to our needs.” CeltFest kicks off with a free Monterey’s ice cream ceilidh event filled with music and A Celtic celebration featuring dance in front of municipal hall, world-class performers from 2167 Oak Bay Ave. on July 14 at Scotland and Ireland on Monday, 1 p.m. July 16 at 2 p.m. in the Monterey “Although Greater Victoria is Recreation Centre lobby.

Burn patients who receive specialized care at the Royal Jubilee Hospital’s burn unit received a helping hand with their healing. The Firefighters Burn Fund of Greater Victoria, which has generated $2.5 million over the past 30 years to support burn survivors, presented a cheque on June 29 for $346,865 to the Victoria Hospital Foundation’s Building Care Together campaign. The funds will pay for expensive equipment for adults who are treated at the burn and complex wound-care unit on the seventh floor of the hospital’s new Patient Care Centre. Equipment needs at the unit range from a shower mister and pressure-relieving mattresses to ceiling mount lifts, among a long list of items. “We’re trying to give the best healing environment we can for the patients, and if it costs that kind of money, we’re just glad the citizens of (Greater) Victoria make it happen,” said Mike Finlayson, retired CFB Esquimalt firefighter and chair of the burn fund society. The money will provide “tremendous relief to patients on the Island who suffer from burns and other complex wounds,” said Dr. Chris Taylor, head of the burn unit. “The injuries these patients suffer from are some of the most difficult and painful to treat,” he said. The non-profit Firefighters Burn Fund receives its donations through telemarketing, bequeathments and private donors. The fund also provides for peer support initiatives, burn training for nurses and the society’s Burn House on Richmond Road, which provides a home away from home for families of burn patients receiving care at Jubilee. emccracken@vicnews.com

Sailors represent navy at Stampede Sailors from CFB Esquimalt-based HMCS Calgary are temporarily trading in their standard navy-issue ball caps in exchange for white stetsons during a 10-day visit to the Calgary Stampede, now underway. Calgary sailors typically participate in the annual event, running until July 15. This year Calgary boarding party members and other crew are at the stampede with CFB Esquimalt’s Naden Band, crew from submarine HMCS Chicoutimi – which is undergoing repair at Victoria Shipyards – and many other Canadian air force and army personnel. During their visit to Alberta, Calgary sailors will visit the Foothills Hospital Burn Treatment Centre and donate more than $7,000 from their charity. emccracken@vicnews.com

Special sun care for seniors Seniors more prone to dehydration as temperatures rise Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

Seniors should keep their cool this week as Environment Canada predicts weather hitting highs of 27 degrees Saturday and Sunday in Victoria. For active seniors it may mean getting out in the garden, but do it safely, says the Vancouver Island Health Authority. “It’s nice that we have this problem, that we’re finally getting some summer weather. That will benefit people psychologically,” said Richard Stanwick, chief medical health officer for VIHA.

“Get out there and enjoy the weather but take the right precautions.” Use sunscreen as always, and if you’re heading out to the garden, don’t do it between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. “As you get older, you actually have smaller water reserves on board,” Stanwick said. “Even if you’re physically active and fit, you just don’t have the reserves you used to. … Make sure you have a water bottle, and use it.” Stay away from caffeine or alcohol that stimulate the kidneys to get rid of excess water. There are also medications seniors may take that mask the symptoms of overheating, Stanwick warns. So take the precautions and take note if your urine output drops. “If you don’t have air conditioning or a cooling fan in your apartment or your

suite, this may be a good time to visit the mall,” he said. Seniors are also more prone to falls as the temperature rises. “If you get up quickly in hot weather, your likelihood of passing out goes up,” Stanwick said. “If it’s hot, take it slow.” cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

Heat stroke symptoms: Hot, red, dry skin Rapid pulse Rapid, shallow breathing Headache Confusion, untypical behaviour Possible loss of consciousness Extremely high core temperature of up to 41 degrees Celsius

Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

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

POLICE NEWS IN BRIEF

Saanich called in on computer theft file Oak Bay police are using Saanich police identification section in helping snag a computer thief. They’re investigating after a business in the 2100-block of Oak Bay Ave. was broken into and several offices entered. Four iMac computers and an iBook were stolen. A witness told police a black SUV was parked in front of the main street level door of the offices around 4:30 p.m. July 8. A tanned white male, described as approximately 45 to 50 years old, five-foot ten-inches tall and 150 to 160 pounds with short dark hair, clean shaven and wearing a light coloured short sleeve shirt with light khaki pants was seen leaving the vehicle. About 10 minutes later the man was seen loading computers into the vehicle. Police continue to investigate.

Crossing pedestrian causes rear-ender A Central Saanich teen driver’s car was rear ended on Beach Drive near San Carlos Ave. on July 8 by a fellow Central Saanich resident. The 16-year-old was south bound on Beach and made a sudden

stop for a pedestrian crossing in an area with no cross walk. The 21 year-old Central Saanich man following didn’t stop in time. Both drivers reported only minor injuries.

Cyclist checks for easy targets A man on a bike drew attention from a resident in the 1000 block of Deal St. shortly before 1 a.m. on July 3. The citizen saw a man riding a BMX bicycle trying car door handles along the street. Police did not find the suspicious person, who was described as wearing a bicycle helmet and a heavy jacket.

Open vehicles make easy targets A series of vehicles left insecure kept Oak Bay police busy with reports coming in last week. An unlocked vehicle parked in a driveway of the 2400-block of Hazel St. made for easy pickings. A wallet and camera were reported stolen from that vehicle on July 3. A similar report came from the 2600-block of Currie Rd. where a wallet was stolen from an unlocked vehicle. In the 1100block of Goodwin St. a vehicle showed no signs of forcible

entry but had two computer bags and a briefcase removed from it, they were later found on a neighbours property. The next day, July 4, police were called about another unlocked vehicle the 2200block of Kinross Ave. An HP Pavillion laptop computer valued at $1,000, a TomTom GPS, Maui Jim sunglasses, four golf shirts, six notebooks, and a pair of pants were reported stolen. An MP3 player and loose change were reported stolen from a vehicle in the 3100block of Westdowne Rd. on July 7. A radar display from a boat parked in a driveway in the 1600 block of Wilmot Pl. was also reported stolen that day.

OUR VIEW

Boating tragedy preventable

autionary tales of young people acting foolishly, and paying the price with injury or death, seem to appear every year in Greater Victoria. Often this coincides with the first blazing hot weekend of the summer, usually at parks like Thetis Lake, where booze, bravado and rocky cliffs collide. Not so this year. On Friday evening, two young men set out in a canoe from Telegraph Bay Cove for a weekend camping trip. From Ten Mile Point, Discovery and Chatham islands appear relatively close to shore, certainly easy paddling distance for fit young people. It all went horribly wrong, very fast. After the canoe capsized, one young man suffered hypothermia but survived. The other remains missing. We hope for his sake, and for his family and friends, that the young man has washed ashore alive somewhere. This incident was completely preventable, but these young men seemed oblivious to the numerous dangers they put themselves in. First, they set off at late twilight in a canoe, an unstable boat not designed for the rigors of the open ocean. Second, it may have been a calm evening, but they paddled into Baynes Channel, an area with strong currents that, according to a current table, would have started getting stronger soon after they hit the water. It would have been more surprising if the canoe hadn’t tipped. The only upside to this scenario is they weren’t drinking. Even if the men weren’t aware of the local ocean currents or the seaworthiness of their boat, it is genuinely shocking that they failed to wear life jackets, or even had any in the canoe. They had the forethought to pack a dry-bag of gear for camping, but not the most basic lifesaving element for the water. We see this all the time in Victoria. People fish in rowboats or dinghies in lakes without personal floatation devices, never imagining a head trauma or some medical incident could render them or a companion unconscious and unable to swim. Add in a few beers and the odds get worse. PFDs are even more crucial in the ocean off Victoria – the water is cold year-round. The young man who was found on the rocks off Oak Bay Friday night was hypothermic in less than two hours. Anyone taking to the water this summer needs to take heed. The ocean is cruel and unforgiving to those who don’t respect basic safety rules. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@oakbaynews.com or fax 250-386-2624.

Hedley’s Nickel Plate and Mascot mines produced fortunes in gold, silver and copper before they played out, and Barlee led the fight to preserve their history. Today you can tour the Mascot mine, a proud historical site with a spectacular climb up the rock face that serves as the Grouse Grind of the B.C. desert. I first discovered Barlee as a reporter at the Kelowna Capital News in the early 1980s, when he did a weekly history show on CHBC television called Gold Trails and Ghost Towns. A bare-bones studio affair with tales and artifacts displayed for host Mike Roberts, the show lasted a decade. Barlee didn’t lack courage, quitting a teaching career in Trail and Penticton in 1969 to start his magazine. On subscription fees and a few classified ads, he built a life’s work that allowed him to walk the boardwalks of history and the halls of power. tfletcher@blackpress.ca –Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

Lodge decision shuts out seniors

Letters

ultimately meant to serve. The provision that Oak Bay council made for community consultation brought many perspectives, and a great deal of light to a decision that was apparently ‘in the bag.’ I would like to thank the above members of council for their insistence that the broader community has a right to open the bag and be engaged. If VIHA picks up its ball and goes home, we will have to be patient and see if a different government, and a new VIHA board (and senior administration) might be more amenable to a respectful, substantive, consultative process. It is with patience, over time, that we will get a development that is optimal for the Oak Bay community. I am willing to wait until we get it right. The Oak Bay Lodge redevelopment proposal was for replacement residential care beds – contrary to the rhetoric, they weren’t providing new beds. What is truly unfortunate is that seniors in the region will have inadequate facilities until VIHA gets its act together. Doug Mollard Oak Bay

way for them to avoid their responsibility to lead a discussion of the actual issues? What is the goal of such a process and is it worthwhile? A debate between proponents and opponents with a question period for interested spectators would have been far more likely to evoke relevant facts and arguments and counter falsehoods. If consultation is to be meaningful it must be more than an opportunity to vent. The upcoming rewrite of the Official Community Plan will be contentious. Will the Oak Bay mayor and council meet this challenge with nothing but process? Will their expensive consultants insulate them from debate? In the absence of any official effort to winnow, to seek consensus, to engage meaningfully with the content of arguments, will most Oak Bay residents choose to avoid attending public meetings where expressions of anger, falsehoods, and insults are tolerated complacently but reasoned argument is unwelcome?

I would like to thank members of our Oak Bay council for the courage and leadership they provided for many months regarding how best to respond to the VIHA (Baptist Housing) redevelopment proposal for the Oak Bay Lodge property. The right of the Oak Bay community to have a voice regarding the nature of our community, and the services that are available, has been upheld by Nils Jensen, Tara Ney, Cairine Green and Michelle Kirby. The nature of the supports that are developed for seniors’ care, and how facilities might look are fundamental concerns that merit the input of council and community -- at the design and use stage. Why would it be any other way? Broader levels of government have an obligation to closely communicate with local governments, and coordinate actions with the needs and realities of those directly supported or impacted. As philosopher Jürgen Habermas noted (and as exemplified in this instance), government structures can become uncoupled from the lifeworlds of those they are

When Oak Bay’s mayor and council call a public meeting over a matter of public concern like the proposal to replace Oak Bay Lodge it is a surprise when the meeting takes the form of a group therapy session instead of a reasoned discussion. The mayor announced that everyone who wanted to speak would have a turn at the microphone. Everyone else was to sit quietly until this was over. The result of a process like this? No misstatements or confusions are corrected, arguments wildly beside the point are respectfully allowed at torpid length, several members of the same household each take a turn to make the same points repeatedly, powerpoint presentations of inordinate length and dubious relevance are permitted, illnatured remarks are made unchecked, opinions about issues of no relevance whatsoever are expressed. Did this assist our elected representatives to make a better informed decision? Or was it a

Big is beautiful, say Victoria fashionistas S

arah Frejd may not be making money yet selling plus-size women’s fashions. But her Curvalicious Boutique operation is providing the fledgling retailer with much more than that. A former chef and restaurateur who wowed diners at a popular Campbell River eatery, Frejd now cooks up boosts in self esteem for women Don Descoteau who may Biz Beat not consider themselves beacons of fashion. “I think it’s life-changing,” Frejd, 35, says of the experience Curvalicious offers clients. Whether it’s women who have always shopped for larger sizes, or those whose bodies changed, perhaps after having children, she receives them in various states of humility. “When they come into our store, we work on their insides as much as their outsides. We make them feel like a million dollars.” The idea of selling plus-size fashion came to Frejd – one of her own best customers – during her sales calls as a food rep for Saanich-based Islands West Produce. “I have to get dressed up and look pretty and go around to pubs and restaurants all day long,” she says. “People would stop me and ask, ‘where did you get that dress? or where did you

get those boots?’” After researching the market for one-off, plus-size creations, she found little to choose from on Canada’s West Coast. She created an online store in 2009 and, combined with hosting shopping-style fashion shows around town and selling at markets around the Capital Region, built a loyal following. After hearing enough clients tell her, “just get a store, Sarah,” Frejd began searching for a location. She found a modest space and moved in last November. With Frejd still working her sales job, much of the pampering falls to store manager Cathy Andrews, a former client and fashion model of Frejd’s who brought a healthy body attitude and some smarts about plus-size fashion to the job. “I love it here,” says Andrews, who is studying to be a nurse. She blogs on such topics as “health at every size” and “fat acceptance” on her page called Big Fat Cherry Bomb on tumblr. com. “People come in with the idea of wearing clothing to cover up,” she says. “We try to convince them to love the body you have at the size you are.” Both Andrews and Frejd talk of clients who came in unsure of themselves and left dancing on air. An example was a Grade 12 student from Salmon Arm who came searching for a prom dress. As the girl tried on various dresses, beaming at each new look at the experience of seeing herself in a different light, her mother and grandmother dissolved into tears, Andrews

The store contains only a smattering of pieces available to clients, but the idea is to pamper women when they come in and make the shopping experience as personal as possible. An ever-present tray of cookies sits just inside the entrance, and beverages are occasionally on hand. “We want to make people feel comfortable, hang out and have a good time,” Andrews says.

Putting the squeeze on classical tunes Accordion parade helps promote annual festival Kyle Wells News staff

What makes a loud noise when you squeeze it and loves a good bellow? No, it’s not the beginning of a bad joke. It’s an accordion. From July 19 to 22 the Sixth International Victoria Accordion Festival will be taking place around town and hosting some of the top accordion acts in the world. Friday night is Russian night and will feature a concert by worldfamous accordionist Alexander Sevastian, from Minsk, Belarus, at St. Andrew’s Church (680 Courtney St.). Sevastian has won four international accordion competitions and played with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. On the Saturday night, Torontobased Quartetto Gelato will be performing at St. Andrew’s. The group, which features Sevastian on accordion, is a crowd favourite. On oboe, violin, cello and,

of course, accordion, along with tenor vocals, the quartet serves up a variety of world and classical music styles. “They are so famous and so popular, particularly in this city,” festival director Aleksandar Milojevic said. “We’re sure people will appreciate their concert.” Another highlight is the Accordion Parade, a first-time event for the festival. The parade kicks off from Market Square at 1 p.m. on the Saturday and will see squeezebox players coming together to play and parade through downtown to Centennial Square and back. “Just imagine if you have many orchestras together, that’s the sound that you get,” Milojevic said. All accordion players are invited to take part in the parade, but are asked to arrive at noon to prepare. Most exciting for organizers is that this year’s festival is a precursor of sorts to what will prove to be the big event in 2013. The success of the festival over the past five years was one con-

in Victoria.” For Milojevic one of the best parts of the festival is seeing the younger players getting involved and falling in love with the instrument, and seeing accordions begin to regain a popularity they haven’t enjoyed since the rise of rock and roll. “Accordions became a not very cool instrument with all the electric guitars and drums and everything that youngsters could express themselves differently with. But now it’s picking up again,” Milojevic said. “We have kids seven years old or eight years old competing, which is amazing and you don’t see everyday, everywhere.” Tickets for the Sevastian and Quartetto Gelato concerts are $25, $20 for seniors and students. The workshop is $25 per person or $30 at the door. Tickets are available at Tempo Trend Music and Long and McQuade, by phone at 778433-8700 or by email at contact@ bcaccordion.ca.

Ryder Hesjedal now focusing on Olympics Travis Paterson News staff

He’s the reigning Giro d’Italia winner and is London-bound for his third Olympic Games. But even the chance to gorge – guilt free – on all the

French cuisine he can this weekend will do little to lift the spirits of Ryder Hesjedal. The wiry Victoria cyclist withdrew from the Tour de France prior to Saturday’s Stage 7 after a major crash set him, and some of his Team Garmin-Sharp-Barracuda teammates, 13 minutes back of the leaders on Friday’s Stage 6. Hesjedal finished the stage, but subsequently pulled out. “Its a huge disappointment,” Hesjedal said.

“I was in good form and feeling comfortable, just really settling in to the first week with an eye on the mountains.” Hesjedal said he’s now focused on the Olympics, and has resigned himself to rooting for his Garmin teammates still on the Tour. At the moment of the crash, which happened 26 kilometres from the end of Friday’s stage, Hesjedal was one of the top contenders in the hunt for the yellow jersey as the overall winner of the Tour. Dozens of riders piled-up in front of him and he sustained a hematoma to his left leg and hip. The team released a statement about the injury, saying it prevented a normal pedal stroke. “The injury would only be worsened if he tried to ride (Saturday),” team doctor Prentice Steffen said. “He needs to go home, keep working with the medical staff, and recover.” “(Garmin) still has a strong group of riders here and they will still do great things,” Hesjedal said. Garmin’s Tom Danielson, who Hesjedal helped to ninth-overall in the 2011 Tour, was also part of the crash that led to Hesjedal’s demise, and was forced to abandon mid-race. Hesjedal will represent Canada at the London Olympics in the men’s road race on July 28 and time trial on Aug. 1. sports@vicnews.com

Jr. Rocks draw New West Shamrocks the final seed in junior lacrosse playoffs Travis Paterson News staff

Coach Larry Smeltzer wants to believe his team will come together in the playoffs. The Victoria Shamrocks are the sixth and final seed to qualify for the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League postseason, drawing the third-place New Westminster Salmonbellies. “(Hockey’s) Los Angeles Kings were the final seed and they (won the Stanley Cup),” Smeltzer said. “Are we the Los Angeles of our league? We just need to come together at the right time.” The stage is certainly set, as the Shamrocks will open the first-round series on the road against the Salmonbellies, likely Saturday night. New West won all three meetings this year, 9-7 at Bear Mountain Arena, and 12-4 and 10-9 at Queen’s Arena. “It’s funny, we didn’t beat (New West) but we still hoped we would get them (in the playoffs),” Smeltzer said. “We feel they felt they were lucky to beat us. And the games are more predictable from our perspective.” There is a lingering expectation that the core of this Shamrocks team, which won the 2010 provincial intermediate-A championship, will one day make a similar run at the junior A level. But time is running out, as the core of the squad is 20 years old, and next year will be its last. The team is talented offensively, second overall in goals scored with 209. There’s also been a series of tweaks to Smeltzer’s old-is-new-again system. To start the season, all players were responsible for offence and defence, as Smeltzer moved away from the current trend of the day, which is to lean heavily on specialized players. Instead, he emphasized fast breaks and taking advantage of the other team’s line changes. The fast break has continued, but the Rocks Greg Sakaki/Black Press now use a hybrid system of sorts. “Sometimes we change it up period to period, Victoria junior Shamrocks player Conrad and sometimes parts of (the new) system are Chapman, left, grabs a loose ball against the quite hidden,” Smeltzer said. “But we’re tied for Nanaimo Timbermen during a B.C. Junior the most short handed goals (21), goalie (Cody Lacrosse League game earlier this season.

The Adanacs’ lead slipped to 10-9 and if we play our game plan we’ll be fine,” in the third period before they scored four more.

GIVE THEM A PAPER ROUTE!

A paper route is about so much more than money. These days kids want and need so many things. With a paper route they not only earn the money to buy those things, they also gain a new respect for themselves. They discover a new sense of conﬁdence, power and control by having their very own job, making their own money and paying for their own games, phones and time with friends.
