Taxpayers face huge sewer bill Regional sewage treatment a go after feds commit funding Daniel Palmer News staff

Greater Victoria homeowners can brace for extra property taxes of $200 to $500 each year, now that the federal and provincial governments have committed their share of the $783-million sewage treatment project. Residents in the seven invested municipalities of Victoria, Saanich, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, Langford, View Royal and Colwood will have to absorb tax hikes until the project is completed in 2018, said Denise Blackwell, chair of the Capital Regional District’s liquid waste management committee. “Lots of people know that this is something that’s been a long time coming and is probably overdue,” she said. “We still have some people who think dilution is the solution, but we’ve been ordered by the provincial government to do it.” The CRD needs to contribute $281 million – about one-third of the total cost – to the wastewater treatment program, which includes a treatment plant at McLoughlin Point in Esquimalt, upgrades to the sewer system and a biosolids energy centre. “Fundamentally, it’s time for us to treat our sewage,” said Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin. “We just cannot continue to dump our sewage into the ocean.” PLEASE SEE: Shovels in the ground, Page A6

A dogged fight for freedom Saanich eyes leashing dogs in an effort to repair municipal park Kyle Slavin News staff

Saanich boasts itself as a dogfriendly community with more than 150 parks where man’s fourlegged friends can run off leash. But talk about turning much of one park into an on leashonly has some dog owners up in arms. “Dog walkers see themselves

as the primary users of the park,” wrote Linda Shaw in a letter to the News, regarding plans for Cuthbert Holmes Park. “Many have been walking their pets in the park for years and are frustrated at the possibility of being penalized despite years of good park citizenry.” Saanich has been undertaking a lengthy management process for Cuthbert Holmes, a natural park, to look at how to maintain a healthy balance of nature and recreation. As part of the process, there are plans to shut down “unauthorized trails” through the park to help the ecosystem flourish, said parks manager Rae Roer.

“We might systematically close off some of the unauthorized trails, combine that with restoration efforts, and then asking people to stay out of those areas,” Roer said. “We’re proposing voluntary compliance that would include leashing your dog. And that would reduce conflict with wildlife, conflict with people, and conflict with dog owners, and it would preserve the natural side of the park.” He added that no decisions have been finalized. In response to the suggestion that Saanich might make the park on-leash, or only allow off leash in specific areas of the park

near the Trans-Canada Highway, Shaw launched an online petition called “Keep Cuthbert Holmes dog friendly.” It currently has 226 signatures from equally incensed dog owners. Shaw argues that leashing dogs would drive away local residents who use the park every day, and attract more transient people, who camp, damage the ecosystem and consume drugs. “Dogs aren’t trashing (the park), it’s the people camping and leaving needles,” said Shaw, who has walked her dog at Cuthbert Holmes for 11 years.

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF

Man admits to handyman fraud A Sooke-based “handyman” has admitted to defrauding 10 customers across the Greater Victoria three years ago. Glen John French, 62, pleaded guilty in Victoria provincial court last Thursday to 10 counts of fraud of under $5,000. Five of the frauds took place in Saanich, three in Victoria and one in Esquimalt in 2009, and one in early 2010 in Langford. After amassing enough complaints, Saanich police issued a warrant for French’s arrest in April 2010. He turned himself in shortly after. Police said French solicited his handyman renovation services using Craigslist and UsedVictoria websites, entered into false contracts with homeowners and ask for a deposit, but wouldn’t return to complete the job, giving excuses such as marital problems or a family death. A pre-sentencing hearing for French is scheduled for Aug. 23 in Victoria.

Drop-in street hockey for food bank Will play hockey for food. That’s the tagline of Five Hole for Food, the non-profit organization behind a crosscountry ball hockey tour that supports local food banks. Players of all stripes from Newfoundland to Victoria hit the streets in drop-in games to raise cash and food donations. Since its inception in 2010, Five Hole for Food has collected the equivalent of almost 70,000 pounds of food. The campaign began July 3 in St. John’s, N.L., and finishes July 21 in Vancouver, B.C. The road crew will drive 11,000 kilometres, visiting 13 cities in 19 days. On July 20, Five Hole will be at the Saanich Plaza, 3531 Ravine Way, between 3 and 7 p.m. Bring a hockey stick and a donation for the food bank to play. More info at Fiveholeforfood.com.

Elbowroom for the arts Greater Victoria arts council flourishes at Cedar Hill galleries Natalie North News staff

Seniors gather for a late-morning coffee. A row of young girls giggle and scurry between bistro tables and young man, gym bag in hand, arrives for his workout. The café gallery at the Arts Centre at Cedar Hill exposes people from all demographics to the work of new and established artists in their community. It’s one of the reasons why those at the helm of the Community Arts Council of Greater Victoria (CACGV) are glad to have made the move from a small downtown Victoria gallery into the new arts wing at Cedar Hill Recreation Centre. The CACGV is afforded two gallery spaces, an office, display cases, proximity to nearby studio space and use of an auditorium. One year since the move, with 20 per cent more members on the roster, the benefits are beginning to stack up. “It was an absolute necessity,” said Jeani Reynolds, interim gallery co-ordinator and executive director of CACGV. “We had to do it. With funding cuts, we didn’t have what we needed to stay in that (Sussex Place) venue. Here, these (galleries) are open the same hours as the rec centre, so exposure to our artists has tripled.” The mandate of the non-profit organization, which was founded in 1966, is to provide resources to artists and performers in Victoria, Saanich, Esquimalt and Oak Bay and to promote interest in local arts and culture. “The two things we wanted to do this year was beef up the cultural side and address all arts disciplines because downtown we became very focused on visual arts,” said CACGV president Bob Williams. A roadblock to promoting some of the other arts had been the necessity to staff the previous gallery. With the eased staffing cost, the CACGV has become aggressive with community engagement.

Natalie North/News staff

Jeani Reynolds, executive director of the Community Arts Council of Greater Victoria, and Bob Williams, president of the board of directors, welcome visitors to the main gallery space at the Arts Centre at Cedar Hill, the group’s new home after relocating from downtown Victoria last year. This winter the council hosted a traditional Eastern European folk dance performance in the auditorium across from the main gallery. Plans are in the works to hold artist discussion nights, compile onsite grant resources, and possibly host juried shows in the future.

“I love the fact that when I go past the galleries, I often see people with racquet bags slung over their shoulders checking out the art.” –Carole Ireland Manager of Cedar Hill recreation centre This week marks the finish of the CACGV’s first artist in residency program, funded by the Saanich Legacy Foundation. Tony Bounsall worked with students in the creation of altered image distressed prints for “Holga Dreams,”

to be on display in the main gallery until July 30. The show opens today (July 18), with a reception from 7 to 9 p.m., also in recognition of the café gallery’s opening show, Christine White’s “Obscura II.” “We’ve been getting asked to be a part of things now, whereas before, we were more self-encompassed,” Reynolds said. “It’s opened up all kind of partnerships and so many more things than we ever expected.” For Carole Ireland, manager of the recreation centre, watching the crossover between physical and artistic engagement at Cedar Hill has been equally rewarding. “I love the fact that when I go past the galleries, I often see people with racquet bags slung over their shoulders checking out the art,” Ireland said. “People are eagerly awaiting the next show and the next show and the next show.” The council has strived to keep their downtown presence active – and may be more so now than

prior to the move. During last month’s Victoria International Cycling Festival, CACGV member work was displayed throughout downtown. They’ve also been in talks with the Greater Victoria Public Library regarding a possible new partnership. The Look Show, open to any artist who pays a nominal hanging fee, was held once again at the Bay Centre in the spring. “Since we’ve been here, our profile has been raised and we’re getting into all sorts of activities we didn’t have before,” Reynolds said. “It’s been a wonderful thing.” Parking, studio space and an informal lounge were all items on CACGV’s wish list – a list of wishes that have completely come true, Williams said. “All the stars lined up and we came here,” he said.

Itâ€™s not that Barry Denluck goes looking for trouble when he sticks his hands in a ball of bees. But when his cellphone rings, heâ€™s prepared to do just that. â€œWhy would I be scared of bees? I like bees,â€? says the View Royal resident and part-time beekeeper. He has responded to and collected swarms of bees â€“ wearing appropriate beekeeper gear â€“ but hopes to hear from more people who spot clouds of 10,000-plus honey bees this summer. The Capital Region Beekeepers Association has established a dedicated bee swarm hotline. Denluck, the association co-president, expects his phone could ring at anytime now that the warm weather has arrived, and bees are starting to depart overcrowded hives in a massive swarm to look for new accommodation. â€œThe general public doesnâ€™t like 10,000 stinging insects sitting by their front door or sitting on their lilac bush,â€? he says.

recently joined the association and need bees. â€œItâ€™s important that more people become beekeepers,â€? Denluck says. Starting new hives with local bees allows beekeepers to foster a sustainable population of honey bees in Canada. Many beekeepers import bees from international destinations, such as Hawaii, a prominent honey bee supplier. â€œThe thought is that with many urban beekeepers, as well as just a few large commercial beekeepers, we can maintain a greater genetic diversity,â€? Denluck explains. This is especially important with the 30-per-cent decline in North Americaâ€™s honey bee population, he says, noting that bee populations are jeopardized primarily by human encroachment and pesticides. Denluck is confident that the new bee swarm hotline will, in a way, help build a stronger bee community. Last year, the club learned of about 20 swarms, though Denluck estimates there are likely up to 100 swarms each year (in the region). The bees from Joy Illingtonâ€™s backyard hives have tried leaving twice, due to overcrowding. â€œIn both cases there were good lessons for us,â€? the Victoria West resident says. Luckily, Illingtonâ€™s bees didnâ€™t get far, and she ensured the buzzing insects settled back into a roomier hive.

Swarms typically attract a lot of attention in urban areas. Last year, word spread about a bee cloud that landed on a Douglas Street lamppost and another that rested on a car at the Tillicum Centre. â€œThis swarm, this cloud, can be as large as a house and as long as a bus,â€? Denluck says. â€œSo youâ€™re going to see it and hear it a block away.â€?

â€œThe general public doesnâ€™t like 10,000 stinging insects sitting by their front door ...â€? â€“Barry Denluck Capital Region Beekeepers Association The honey-makers will leave their home and stop over someplace for as little as two hours and as long as a day, while waiting for the scouts to fly off and find a new home. With such a small window of opportunity in which the beekeepers can collect the swarm, itâ€™s important for people to immediately call the hotline. â€œTiming is critical,â€? Denluck says. To report a swarm, call the bee swarm line at 250-900-5133, or email swarms@victoriabeekeepers.com. For details, visit victoriabeekeepers. ca. editor@vicnews.com

A free store no more Complaints pile up for West Saanich Road exchange

Longtime Victoria residents remember her as host of the Noon Show, and later, the Ida Clarkson Show. Clarkson died at age 85 Friday. She leaves a legacy of 30 years in television with CHEK, and a broadcasting scholarship in her name through Camosun College. Clarkson was born in Victoria and began her career in 1946 as a creative writer for CJVI radio. She later advanced to director of women's programming. After taking time off to raise a family, she was hired at CHEK-TV in 1961 as a copy editor. One year later she was asked to co-host a live daily program, which

It wasn’t the lack of revenue that caused the Free Store to close its doors. Last Monday (July 9), Saanich bylaw enforcement officers shut down the Saanich West exchange where, for the last two years, members of the public have dropped off or picked up reusable items free of charge. The unsightly state of the property – host to more than one unlicensed vehicle and outside storage – formed the basis of the action from the municipality. David Shebib, who from 5090 West Saanich Rd. ran the store and business Garbage Guru Hauling with his son Andrew McLean, considers the closure a loss to the community. “I’m not concerned that (Saanich) shut down the Free Store,” said Shebib, who ran low-key, antiestablishment mayoral campaigns for Victoria and Saanich in 2011. “My concern is that they’re not offering any alternative. They’re not recognizing that this could be a good service for the community, or putting something up at Hartland (Landfill) where people can recycle good stuff.” Saanich bylaw enforcement officers have visited the “unsightly premises” 15 times since February 2011, said Doug Roberts, senior bylaw enforcement officer. “When I say unsightly, I mean an accumulation of scrap metal, scrap lumber, disused and broken items,” Roberts said. “We can appreciate what the occupant was trying to do, unfortunately, that property is not zoned for that type of operation. I would hope that if the occupant is sincere, that he would look at another location.” Complaints to Saanich from neighbours and motorists have reached beyond esthetics to road safety concerns due to cars turning abruptly to access the lot, as well as issues related to parking. Bylaws broken related to the number of unlicensed vehicles, the unsightly nature of the premises, garbage and business regulations. Property co-owner Sam Sierra does’t have a problem with the Free Store, or Shebib. Sierra eventually asked Shebib to shut down the operation on July 9 for fear of placing his other properties in

And while Sierra would have preferred if Shebib had kept the property cleaner, it’s not the most unsightly address in the neighbourhood, Sierra noted. “I think he’s doing a good thing,” said Sierra, who co-owns the property with Paul Aujla. “(Bylaw enforcement officers) can’t do anything to him so they’re coming after us.” In the last day of operation, Shebib estimates there were 150 visitors to his store. “I’m trying to do what I think is a responsible thing and divert this stuff that’s going to the dump,” Shebib said. “It’s the 2012 version of the banning of the potlatch that’s being outlawed.” The 68-year-old said he plans to take his fight for the Free Store to court and eventually move to Bella Coola, where he owns property. Previous to the opening of his store two years ago in Saanich, Shebib ran a Free Store on Salt Spring Island. It was also shut down. nnorth@saanichnews.com

Makeshift canoe busted for smuggling A routine patrol of an unusual looking vessel by the RCMP's South Island integrated marine unit landed a California man in the cells in Sidney last Thursday. During patrols near the waters off Pender Island, RCMP officers approached a strange looking canoe, complete with a homemade canopy constructed of driftwood and pine tree branches. Inside, police found a 24-year-old man from California who told officers he planned to paddle to Bella Bella. He had cleared Canadian cus-

toms in the canoe earlier that day, according to a release from B.C. RCMP. Cpl. Erin Fraser, of Sidney North Saanich RCMP said it’s not clear whether the man paddled the canoe all the way from California. Officers turned up a pound of marijuana, a baton, knives and a passport that didn't belong to the man in the canoe. The man faces charges of importation and possession of a controlled substance for trafficking, and possession of weapons.

James Moore, federal minister responsible for British Columbia, was on hand Monday to announce the federal funding portion. He said the project is long overdue. “This is a quarter of a billion dollars to end dumping of sewage into the waters around Victoria,” he said, adding he expects to see work to begin “later this year.” The next step for the CRD will be hiring a project manager to oversee the work and to create a bylaw to establish a management committee. The CRD will then receive requests for proposal from various contractors before breaking ground on the project, which is expected to create 10,000 personhours of labour. “I think shovels in the ground at the end of this year is probably a bit optimistic, but beginning of next year for sure,” Blackwell said. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Did you know? Quick facts about the Core Area Wastewater Treatment Program: Total project cost: $782.7 million Start: late 2012 or early 2013 Projected completion date: 2018 Annual operating costs to the CRD: $14 million to $15 million Victoria, Saanich, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, View Royal, Colwood, Langford are involved in the project. The federal government initiated funding talks with the CRD in 2006.

The ins and outs of sewage treatment A wastewater treatment plant at McLoughlin Point in Esquimalt would extract biosolids, which would then be pumped 18 kilometres to Hartland landfill in Saanich. There, a Biosolids Energy Centre would dry the material and deposit it in cement kilns, to be housed in Cadboro Bay.

Transmitter proves its worth for dementia patient Daniel Palmer News staff

A local technology is being credited for the safe return of an elderly dementia patient after she wandered away from a Victoria assisted living residence. Project Life Saver uses a locally manufactured transmitter to locate missing persons with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. The transmitter is about the size of a wristwatch and emits a signal that allows local search and rescue teams to easily locate individuals who have a tendency to wander. On July 10, Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary Pacific search and rescue located the missing

woman, unharmed, within 40 minutes. “About 59 per cent of persons with dementia wander off, and of those, 72 per cent will do it repeatedly,” said Marjorie Moulton, executive director of We Rage, We Weep Alzheimer Foundation, which offers Project Life Saver at no charge to Greater Victoria residents. Ron Bazuk has been participating in the program for the past year, after his father’s mental health deteriorated following Bazuk’s mother’s death. He is among the two-thirds of people who choose to take full-time care of a family member rather than rely on assisted living residences. “His memory doesn’t last

Much of the 20-hectare park, located behind Tillicum Centre, just below the Trans-Canada Highway, is environmentally sensitive, according to a biology company contracted by the municipality to complete an environmental assessment. “Whether it’s fisheries, or it could be protected bird species, old growth forests … there’s lots of important ecosystem values,” Roer said. Like Saanich parks, Shaw said she and other dog walkers want to enjoy a balance between recreation and healthy ecology, but creating on-leash regulations wouldn’t solve the problems. “We will do what is necessary to keep the park healthy, and keep our pets healthy and playing in there,” she said. “I’m so passionate about it, we walk in there so much. It’s a slice of paradise.” Rob Wickson, president of the Gorge Tillicum Community Association, says his organization has been involved in the process, but won’t take sides on the issue of leashing dogs in the park. “We recognize a significant number of users use it to take their dogs off leash,” Wickson said. “However, we’ve heard from a number of people who not going into the park because of dogs being off leash. In some cases, dogs off leash are affecting the environment in the park. People don’t have a clear understanding of how sensitive it is.” The goal is to have the park review process complete by the end of the year.

more than a few seconds now,” Bazuk said. “He might be able to tell you his wartime serial number, but if you tell him what year it is, he won’t know a few minutes later.” The survival rate of a person with cognitive impairment – in good physical condition – is only 50 per cent if they are missing up to 24 hours. After 24 hours, they are likely to be severely injured or dead. It was that stark statistic that compelled Bazuk to sign his father up for Project Life Saver. “A few months back, I’d been to the store and came back, and just couldn’t find him,” he said. “I went around the block a few times, and this is the first time I used it. ... I called and it was a

Victoria braces for the big flush W

hen the province and federal governments fork over $500 million, most cities would celebrate the economic benefits from a fresh influx of capital. For Greater Victoria, the announcement Monday that Ottawa and the province will fund a two-thirds share of building a $783-million regional sewage treatment system felt more like a day of reckoning. The region’s sewer system users – Victoria, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, Saanich, View Royal, Colwood and Langford – now have to figure out how to extract its share of cash from residents and councils, both which are loathe to increase property taxes. Raising $281 million for the construction phase isn’t pocket change. That’s $200 to $500 per household each year until the McLoughlin wastewater treatment plant, a biosolids treatment plant and improvements to sewage infrastructure are complete. Operating costs are estimated at $14 million per year after that. For Victoria residents, it will be interesting to see what the final price tag is for the Blue Bridge. For regional rapid transit, the E&N line is suddenly looking a lot more attractive. After six years and $18 million spent in sewer treatment planning and studies, the region knew this day would come, but decisions on how to divide costs among sewered municipalities and how to raise those funds in the first place have remained on the backburner as a political hot potato nobody. As dismal as it is to – finally – start paying a fat new tax to wring clean the city’s effluent, a few positives can be flushed out, beyond not flushing waste directly into the ocean. The region has the opportunity from the get-go to employ technologies that extract heat (and therefore energy) from sewage, much like has been done in a number of European cities for decades. Maximizing resource recovery should be a requirement of the tendering process and not an add-on when the system is done. Recouping costs and easing the taxpayer burden should be priority No. 1. Sewage treatment, too, is an opportunity to overhaul aging sewer lines in Victoria, Oak Bay and Saanich, some of which have been in service for more than 100 years. During heavy rains, these ancient pipes can overflow into stormwater lines (called inflow and infiltration) and flush into shallow coastal waters. The region’s largest infrastructure project in its history has arrived. Start saving your pennies.

I made it to the top of Mount Washington on Sunday along with my team – and we were all elated – but I barely remember the ride. What’s stayed with me, instead, were the emotions I felt. I remember a few periodic moments of dread, when I looked up the road and saw steep, endless asphalt. And I remember the pride I felt – the smile plastered to my face – when I pulled in to the ski lodge, sweaty and panting, after conquering Mount Washington. Those emotion-filled memories, on both ends of the spectrum, are what I will take away from my experience as a Tour de Rock rider – it won’t be the Vancouver Island scenery or the six-hour rides along rolling Island roads.

LETTERS Golf course restaurant has plenty of potential I dined before at the nowclosed restaurant at Cedar Hill Golf Course and it was a gem. It could easily become one of the most thriving restaurants and meeting places in Saanich. Under the direction of a professional restaurateur, not only could it thrive, but great catering opportunities exist for special events such as weddings, anniversaries and what have you. The location is idyllic and thereâ€™s plenty of free parking. The restaurant could partner with the golf course and offer packages. A breakfast and golf combination? People could have breakfast while theyâ€™re waiting to tee off. What about a buffet-style breakfast? Later in the day, offer a round of golf and a steak dinner. Steak and prawns? In the summer, set up a barbecue. The possibilities are unlimited. Saanich would get a new guaranteed revenue stream with little to no cost, people would have a beautiful place to go and 25 or more jobs would be created. A restaurant and catering enterprise canâ€™t pay any more than industry wages to thrive, thus ensuring its perpetuity. Yes, they would be lower-paying jobs, but it provides so many young people with valuable life and work skills to put on their resumes. Unfortunately, CUPE has control over it and demands CUPE wages and benefits. If you care about this facility, if you care about local jobs, send a letter to CUPE. Demand that they give up their succession rights so that the property can become a gem again. Itâ€™s the right thing to do. Bob Broughton Victoria

Treat graffiti as art, promote creative outlet We seem to be zealous about cleaning up everything from people to graffiti. I imagine folks who do graffiti need a creative outlet. Iâ€™m glad Saanich has cut

back on graffiti removal. Why donâ€™t we approach this in a positive way as they have in Chilpancingo, capital city of the State of Guerrero, Mexico? They have a graffiti school. The results are wonderful. Joanna Wilkinson Victoria

Graffiti has possibilities to be quality artwork Iâ€™m writing to address the deplorable state of graffiti in my neighbourhood â€“ namely that there is simply not enough of it and what we have is terrible. Everywhere I look are untouched, monotone walls and garish advertisements. Worse yet, when I do see some nominal effort to deface an advertisement or decorate a wall, the enterprise is often anemic and self-indulgent. Many examples are dull, uninspired tags that lie flat and communicate nothing. These demure scribbling exercises are purely for the sake of gaining some anonymous notoriety under the guise of phenomenology. These works lack any kind of meaningful ambition or direction. Whether with a Sharpie, stencil or free hand spray paint, these examples are poorly executed, generic and completely fail to command attention. What we need to do is send these would-be street artists to receive professional training not only in execution but in conceptual development. Perhaps then we will have something worth looking at on our daily commutes whether the work is meant to convey social commentary or is simply a decorative exercise. Justin Barski Saanich

Canadian government an inefficient system Parliament has added another 30 MPs, costing an additional $1.44 million each or $43 million. This expenditure was passed lightning-fast by the Senate. We will now have 338 MPs, representing 35 million

Randall Garrison, MP ESQUIMALTâ€“JUAN DE FUCA

people or 104,000 constituents each. The Senate gave no sober second thought to this expenditure. The United States have 314 million people and 435 federal representatives, or 722,000 constituents each. They limit the proliferation of representatives to 435 and reapportion them based on population. They also have 100 Senators who represent 3.14 million people each. In comparison to Canada, U.S. politicians are effectively the better buy. Our current form of government lends itself to dictatorial power. It makes a mockery of the system, where great numbers of powerless MPs are elected and politically toady Senators are appointed to sycophantically bless a prime ministerâ€™s agenda. The politicians are in a conflict of interest; they wonâ€™t limit their costly, inefficient use of the political system. We need more services and fewer politicians. It is time the people took back the power of governance. Harry Atkinson Sidney

Graving dock to see major overhaul $101-million investment over five years to prep for shipbuilding The Esquimalt Graving Dock will receive upgrades in preparation for the federal non-combat shipbuilding contract.

Erin McCracken News staff

The Esquimalt Graving Dock, where the finishing touches will be done on a future contingent of naval and Coast Guard vessels, is getting its own $101-million overhaul. Over the next five years the money, announced in the April budget as part of the federal government’s Economic Action Plan 2012, will pay for modernization and restoration to the dock, built in 1927 and owned by Public Works and Government Services Canada. Victoria Shipyards, owned by Seaspan Marine Corp., bases its operations at the site and regularly uses the drydock to repair and overhaul Royal Canadian Navy ships, B.C. Ferries vessels and cruise ships, among others. Last fall Seaspan was awarded an $8-billion contract to construct new noncombat naval and Canadian

Coast Guard vessels, under the National Shipbuilding Strategy. While much of the work will be done at Seaspan’s Vancouver Shipyards, the new ships will be completed at Victoria Shipyards. “This $101-million investment will … ensure that (Public Works and Government Services Canada) fulfills its obligations to all ship-repair companies booking the facility over the long term, which includes any work that may come from the National Shipbuilding Strategy,” a public works spokesperson told the News.

After lightning and wind stalled the Rock the Shores concert for more than an hour, Gord Downie and the rest of The Tragically Hip took to the stage to the delight and relief of 12,000 fans.

Rock the Shores rocks despite storm delay Jim Zeeben News staff

It was a party that demonstrated the Island might just have found a new venue for large scale events. The 12,000 people who packed in the lower fields at the West Shore Parks and Recreation complex were treated to an evening of great music, wild weather and top-notch planning by concert organizers Atomique Productions. The evening started slow, with a few thousand people and plenty of room for couples to lounge on blankets while listening to Victoria altrockers Jets Overhead. Fellow Victorians Current Swell followed with their modern take on roots rock that got the crowd dancing as the day’s heat hit it’s peak. A dark cloud started its crawl across the West Shore sky as the Sam Roberts Band picked up the pace. The crowd pressed toward the stage, forcing those who had been on blankets to stand or retreat further back. A very light rain helped keep the packed crowd cool. But then the first of a series of lightning strikes split

the sky, forcing organizers to pull the plug on Roberts’ set. The wind whipped up the low lying clouds as the sun set over the makeshift stadium. As night fell, the crowd patiently waited out the storm. At one point, technicians took down lighting and sound equipment, causing some concern that the show might not go on And then just as chants of “We want The Hip” started to carry a little louder through the restive crowd, the crew returned to restore the stage. The Tragically Hip quickly won back the crowd that was never really lost, playing hits from their two decades worth of material. The show, which had been scheduled to shut down precisely at 11 p.m., carried on past curfew as The Hip threw themselves into a three song encore. Amazingly, despite dire predictions before the concert, the crowd was able to quickly disperse through several exits. There was little congestion on West Shore roads as many people apparently heeded the call to find alternative ways to travel to the show.

Buskers invade Victoria Weather won’t dampen spirits at talent festival Edward Hill News staff

Sharon Mahoney admits that convincing some of the world’s top buskers to hit Victoria last year was a big risk, professionally and personally. Victoria, a known tourist town, wasn’t a significant draw for the international street performer circuit. But local artist John Vickers was aiming to reenergize the downtown with a high-calibre busker festival, and Mahoney was key. The Victoria-based performer has toured the world in her quirky red tracksuit as the passive-aggressive “Sharon from Canada” and her alter ego, the outright aggressive Miss Tallulah. Mahoney had the connections, but convincing performers to attend an untested festival required a leap of faith. “Some top street performers really took a risk; I begged friends of mine to take a risk,” said Mahoney, the artistic director for the Victoria International Buskers Festival, now approaching its second year. “The presPhoto courtesy of the Victoria International Busker Festival sure was there.

Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

Glass or plastic lenses Once you have your prescription for eyeglass lenses there are a number of decisions you must make. Perhaps one of the most important is whether to have your corrective lenses made out of glass or plastic. Today, in Canada, most spectacle lenses are made of plastic. Plastic lenses have improved so much over the last 20 years, that plastic has become the lens material of choice. If glass lenses are chosen it is imperative to get shatter resistant lenses. There is no such thing as shatter-proof glass. So, for occupations that require safety eyewear, glass is not acceptable. Plastic lenses can absorb much more punishment. Some plastic materials are extremely safe and therefore afford good protection in certain high risk occupations. Both glass and plastic can be made in “thin” or high index materials which are more practical for strong prescriptions. Because plastic is softer than glass, there is a misconception that plastic lenses will scratch easily. This does not have to be the case provided proper care is taken. Elaborate cleaning measures are not necessary, just simple common sense precautions. Plastic lenses will not become scratched from normal use; they get scratched when exposed to abrasives. Today’s scratch coatings make plastic lens surfaces very durable. Ask your Optometrist about the different types of lens materials available for your prescription.

with the event starting at 7:30 p.m. “Comedy and laughter tie in perfectly with the Tour de Rock attitude of optimism and positivity and hope, so it should make for a pretty entertaining night all for an unbelievably worthy cause,” Slavin said. Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the door. All proceeds go towards Slavin’s fundraising efforts for the Canadian Cancer Society.

Simon Whitfield will carry the flag for the Canadian Olympic team at the London 2012 Opening Ceremony. the closing ceremonies in Sydney. His hard work and perseverance are something of a legend on Canadian soil. Whitfield seemingly came out of nowhere in 2000 to win the first Olympic gold medal in triathlon. When he returned eight years later to win silver (nearly gold) in Beijing, he cemented his reputation as a loveable winner, smiling

all the way. The 37-year-old has won nearly everything on the table in the sport of triathlon: 14 World Cup victories and 21 podium finishes, seven top-10 finishes at the World Championships, 10 Canadian titles, gold medal at the 2002 Commonwealth Games and bronze at the 1999 Pan American Games. sports@vicnews.com

Reynolds golfer tops in B.C. Future Vike wins junior title Travis Paterson News staff

Golfer Matthew Broughton shot three-under par on Thursday, and two-under par on Friday to win the B.C. Junior Boys Championship.

Grizzlies’ NHL alumni come aboard

Saanich’s Matthew Broughton proved it’s more important to stay in the hunt then to go all-in from the start. Broughton shot two-under par on Friday, to win the four-day-long B.C. Junior Boys Championship at Sunshine Coast Golf and Country Club in Roberts Creek. Not too shabby of a day for the 18-year-old Reynolds secondary grad, who is headed to the UVic Vikes golf team this fall. Though Broughton lifted the Gordon Bowers Trophy as champion, it wasn’t until the 18th hole that he knew he’d be able to stave off Kevin Ko (second) and Team Canada’s Kevin Kwon (fourth), who he was paired with. “It was my first time being around the lead on the final day,” Broughton said. “You don’t really think about who you’re playing with or what shot lead he has. “I did my best not to look at the (scores) being carried around (Friday). I knew the lead was changing back and forth,” Broughton said.

Last year Broughton was 15th at the same tournament, and the last time he won a tournament was a Zone 5 (Victoria and Duncan area) tourney in 2011. Friday started with leader Kwon, of Pitt Meadows, at six-under par, three strokes better than Broughton. But Kwon collapsed, shooting eight bogeys, which hurt dragged him back to fourth place overall. Broughton, meanwhile, was the model of consistency, one of three of the 154 entrants to shoot even-par, 72, on each of the first two days. Broughton turned it on with a three-under, 69, on Thursday and 70 on Friday, to win with a total score of 72-72-69-70, 283, five-under par. The top three finishers, Broughton, and 16-yearolds Ko (second) and Chris Crisologo (third), make up Team B.C., which will compete at the Canadian Junior Boys’ Championship in Bridgewater, N.S., July 31 to Aug. 3. Victoria’s Jake Duvall (sixth), Connor Gann (13th) and Darren Day (18th) also qualified for the Canadian championships. Naomi Ko was the top Victoria finisher in the junior girls championship held at the Osoyoos Golf and Country Club. Ko was eighth overall, 11-over, just ahead of 11th place Hayley Kruse. sports@vicnews.com

Well played move, Bill Bestwick. The newly hired general manager and head coach of the Victoria Grizzlies is behind the B.C. Hockey League team’s new Alumni Advisory Board, consisting of former player Ryan O’Byrne of the 2001-02 Salsa and former coach Geoff Courtnall of the 2008-09 Grizz. Along with hiring Craig Didmon and acquiring a handful of players, the Alumni Advisory Board is the first significant big-picture move of Bestwick’s tenure. The board’s creation signifies a change in culture around the Grizzlies under new majority owner Ron Walchuk, who recently took over that role from Len Barrie. With the presence of O’Byrne and Courtnall, albeit intermittent and mostly for advisory purposes, the Grizzlies become a more attractive destination for talented hockey players wishing to play in the NCAA, Bestwick said in the team’s release. “It is wonderful to have people like Geoff and Ryan who want to give back to the sport that has given them so much,” added Bestwick. “The Grizzlies have helped so many local athletes move on to the NCAA and the WHL, and ultimately the NHL, and it will be great for the team and the community to have these players back involved in junior hockey here.” O’Byrne, a top-six defenceman with the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche, also played in the BCHL with the Nanaimo Clippers under Bestwick in 2003, before playing three years at Cornell University. Courtnall, a veteran of 17 years in the NHL, oversaw the development of his son Justin (Boston University Terriers) and many other Grizzlies currently in the NCAA who played on the 2008-09 team which hosted the RBC Cup. The board will advise the GM and ownership group with a focus on hockey operations and the development model for players to reach their educational and hockey career goals. sports@vicnews.com

B.C. youth take rugby stage

First Nations soccer team at Indigenous Soccer Cup

n Doors opem at 6:30p ts Event starm p at 7:30

Wednesday, July 18, 2012 - SAANICH

With flights paid for and hotel rooms booked, the Golden Eagles soccer club touched down in Albuquerque, N.M., on Monday for the 2012 Indigenous Soccer Cup. Enterprising coach Charlotte Charlie leads the co-ed team, which is made up of players 19-and-under from Alert Bay, Village Island, Saanich, Songhees and Cowichan First Nations. In recent months Charlie, of Victoria, has championed the team, and what it stands for, in a campaign to fundraise $17,500. That’s the total cost for the Golden Eagles to play in this week’s Indigenous Cup, July 16 to 22. The team came so close; players are left owing between $50 to $70 each for the remaining costs of the hotel and food. “The team worked hard at fundraising and promoting their goal. We hit walls left, right and centre along the way due to the fact that we are a new team,” Charlie said. As of last Thursday the team was just $3,250 shy of that goal, when a final fundraiser, a two-day silent auction with lunches and dinners

at the Tsawout band office, pulled in an additional $1,340. A bottle drive on Saturday raised another $614, bring them within $1,500 of the original target. “The hotels are 90 per cent paid for, and the food is mostly paid for. Now we can focus on playing,” Charlie said. Charlie uses the team to promote health and wellness among First Nations youth, while encouraging leadership and education. Charlie, a former a student facilitator at Esquimalt High, volunteers her own time to do group or individual tutoring to help the players work towards college and university. “I anticipate we’ll make it to the finals. We’re a pretty good team. Teams from B.C. always come away with high expectations, and have won gold there before.” Because it’s Charlie’s and the team’s first time to the Cup, she brought in a variety of voices to speak about what lies ahead. Some soccer experts spoke of the differing playing styles to expect from Central American teams, while others who have been there before, spoke of what to expect day in and day out. The Golden Eagles are continuing to fundraise and will continue playing when they return. To donate contact Charlie at 250-217-2416, or char_charlie@hotmail.com. sports@vicnews.com
