Pulling for the kids Saanich police employee aims to haul a car 21 km to raise money for pediatric cancer research Edward Hill

Saanich police quartermaster Kevin Nunn hauls a 70 pound weight up the steep Churchill Road on Mount Doug. Nunn is training to pull a Mini around UVic’s Ring Road for 21 kilometres in September to raise money for Tour de Rock.

News staff

Shades on, plugged into his iPod, Kevin Nunn steps forward with a grimace toward the distant summit of Mount Douglas. Passing curious dog-walkers and hikers, and harnessed to a 70-pound metal sled, Nunn is a freight-train of spiked bleachblonde hair, arm tattoos and grit powering up one of the steepest paved hills in Greater Victoria. He stops to catch his breath a few times, but arrives at the 213-metre elevation parking lot in less than 20 minutes, red faced but smiling. “I enjoy it, but the calves really burn after doing that,” he says. The 49-year-old from Yorkshire completes this gruelling feat of strength three times per week, usually three round trips per session. This, he hopes, will steel his body for the real challenge – pulling a 2,530-pound Mini Cooper r around the University of Victoria’s Ring Road 12 times, equaling 21 kilometres. For Nunn, it’s all about ramping up the challenge, amping up the craziness, all to raise as much money as possible for Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock and his three Saanich police colleagues, tour riders Niki Hodgkinson, Jett Junio and Jana Sawyer.

Edward Hill/News staff

Two years ago, Nunn raised $2,500 by dying his hair bleach blonde and sporting a Billy Idol look. Last year he ran 60 kilometres, over the Malahat, from Cowichan to the Saanich police station, in seven hours and 19 minutes. With his Billy Idol hair and Union Jack shorts and shoes, he raised nearly $14,000 for the tour. “Every year I’m inspired by the community of Victoria and the Island. It’s fantastic. I’m pulling a car for a day, but it’s a team effort,” Nunn says. “Support from the local community makes it a team effort. “I’m hoping the bigger the event, the more charitable people will be. I hope the

stamina,” Nunn says. “It does hurt, but you have to go through the pain barrier. If you stop when it hurts, you’ll never improve. As a trainer, I know my body and I know not to overdo it.” Nunn moved to Victoria from the U.K. in 2004 and worked as head trainer at Phoenix gym before landing his job in 2008 as the civilian equipment officer for the Saanich police. His father was diagnosed the next year with kidney cancer, and died while Nunn was on a flight home. PLEASE SEE: Fundraising stunts, Page A7

bigger the challenge, the more donations. My goal is $25,000.” A keen soccer player and a British army soldier for 22 years, Nunn is accustomed to hard physical exertion and pushing through pain. Hiking 50 or 100 kilometres with a 100-pound pack was a regular day in the army. But Nunn admits dragging a heavy, clanging metal sled up a mountain and pulling cars long distances is a new ball game. “It’s quite different. There’s a lot of drag with a flat plate. This hill is so steep it really tests the muscle endurance and

SAANICH NEWS -Wednesday, August 1, 2012

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF

Wilkinson jailbreak headed to trial One of the men allegedly behind an attempted prison break from Wilkinson Road jail one year ago is scheduled to go to trial for the incident in March 2013. In July 2011, Saanich police said two prisoners were involved in digging a large hole in the ceiling of a cell at the Vancouver Island Regional Correctional Centre, a maximum security prison and remand centre on Wilkinson Road. The hole was apparently big enough for somebody to fit through, but it remains unclear if either man ever illicitly exited the cell. “The circumstances are dramatic and very movielike,” Saanich police Sgt. Dean Jantzen told the News at the time, which was the first to report on the incident. Saanich police investigated the attempted jail break and Jantzen stressed that the incident posed no risk to public safety. Andrew Jonathon Belcourt, 22, is charged with breaking out of a prison cell with intent to escape on July 12, 2011. He appeared in B.C. Supreme Court this week in Victoria, and a trial date was fixed for March 11, 2013 in B.C. Supreme Court. The same charge was dropped against coaccused Max Higley. The only publicly known escape from Wilkinson Road jail was in 1986 by Robert Moyes, a career criminal later convicted of murdering seven people. Belcourt remains in custody and is also headed to B.C. Supreme Court in September for a pretrial hearing for the murder of Leslie Ronald Hankel in Fernwood on March 3, 2010. Samuel Gregory McGrath is also charged with murder for that crime.

Oil fire sends one person to hospital One person was taken to hospital after a pan of oil caught fire in their home, engulfing the kitchen in flames. Saanich fire crews were called to the 100-block of Lurline Ave. around 10 p.m. on Sunday (July 29) and arrived to find smoke billowing out of the singlestorey home. The kitchen fire was quickly extinguished. A resident of the home was taken to hospital with injuries to their arms. An estimated cost of the damage to the home and contents wasn’t known at press time.

Nicholas Woodiwiss, left, has Eugene Hahn, Gus McTavish, Heather Ann McRae and Brenda McPhail (not shown) to thank for coming to his aid after suffering cardiac arrest while riding his bike on July 4. B.C. Ambulance Service says Woodiwiss is lucky to be alive, and credits the group performing 'bystander CPR' for his survival. The rescuers received Vital Link Awards for their heroics.

How to save a life Ambulance service lauds four people for performing CPR on cyclist Kyle Slavin News staff

If it weren’t for Heather Ann McRae and Eugene Hahn being part of a minority group, Nicholas Woodiwiss wouldn’t be alive to thank them for saving his life. McRae and Hahn are among 15 per cent of British Columbians who know CPR – a task the pair of strangers performed on a cyclist who suffered cardiac arrest in their Saanich neighbourhood on July 4 at 11 a.m. “I was driving down the street and a cyclist was coming up. And I saw he wobbled into the middle of the road and he just collapsed on his bike,” says McRae, recalling the incident on Amblewood Drive in the Royal Oak area. Hahn and his father-in-law, Gus

McTavish, were on Hahn’s front lawn when they heard the accident in front of the home. “It sounded like a gasp, and a very familiar sound of a bike hitting the ground,” says Hahn, an avid cyclist himself. McTavish says once he and his son-in-law ran to the road, where they saw McRae coming to the cyclist’s aid, he first thought she had struck him with her van. While Hahn called 911, McRae began performing CPR, assisted by McTavish. “We saw (Woodiwiss) had fixed eyes, no pulse, no circulation, nothing was happening,” McRae says. “He was turning blue – his lips, his upper ears. We knew we had serious issues.” It took nine minutes for the ambulance to arrive, during which time McRae and Hahn took turns with chest compressions. Another passing motorist, Brenda McPhail, stopped her car to assist, ensuring Woodiwiss’s airway was clear. “I learned CPR at 19,” says Hahn, 40, who hadn’t needed to

use his skills prior to this incident. “I remembered landmarking – how to find the spots the press, and I remembered the rhythm – 15 (compressions) every 10 seconds or so.” Leanne Heppell, executive director of B.C. Ambulance Service, says the group’s performance of “bystander CPR” prior to the arrival of an ambulance played an important role in Woodiwiss’s surivival. “Even with the best technology, medical expertise and the timely deployment of paramedics, the best chance of survival is still bystander CPR,” she says. “The minutes following a cardiac arrest are vital,” adds Pauline Park, superintendent for Vancouver Island’s 9-1-1 dispatch centre. “If bystander CPR is performed immediately, the patient has a much better chance of survival without suffering any brain damage.” Hahn, McPhail, McRae and McTavish were all awarded Vital Link awards on Thursday (July

26), recognizing the bystanders’ quick responses that helped save a life. B.C. Ambulance Service, through the ACT (Advanced Coronary Treatment) Foundation, helps teach students and teachers CPR, including McRae, who works at Lochside elementary. “I wish so many other people took (a CPR) course and knew what to do. We can all do this, we all have this at our disposal. It’s a matter of not wasting time, because the person in front of you is dying,” says McRae. Woodiwiss, 61, knows he’s lucky to be alive, and says other than a pain in his chest that feels like he “was in a boxing match” from the hard compressions, he’s recovering well. “This has made me want to do something, maybe help train kids in CPR,” Woodiwiss says. “I can say, ‘I would’ve been dead, but for someone knowing CPR.’ I hope this motivates some people to learn the skill.” kslavin@saanichnews.com

Ruby Ann Ruffolo denied new murder trial Ruby Ann Ruffolo has been denied a new trial and stands convicted of first-degree murder in the death of her husband nine years ago in Saanich. Today in a written ruling, Court of Appeal for B.C. dismissed Ruffolo’s main argument that her second lawyer on her second trial was “ineffective” because he failed to question her daughter Jovanna Ruffolo on the daughter’s whereabouts on the night John Ruffolo was killed. The appeal court dismissed an affidavit from Jovanna sworn in March this year that suggested she was at home the night of the mur-

Rufollo’s suggestion her daughter was home contradicted her earlier rather detailed notes that Jovanna had spent the night at a friend’s house. Ruffolo’s attempt to “explain this evidence away” is “not capable of belief,” the justice wrote. Other complaints by Ruffolo, such as her first lawyer giving ineffective assistance, or that her trial was unfair due to a procedural issue, were equally dismissed as baseless. Ruffolo is serving a life sentence without chance of parole for 25 years. editor@saanichnews.com

Greater Victoria transit users broke ridership records for the second consecutive year, despite a cutback in service hours. B.C. Transit recorded 25.35 million trips throughout the Capital Region for the year ending March 31, a modest increase of 0.4 per cent over 2010-11 numbers. “We’re seeing a long-term commitment from our passengers,” said Meribeth Burton with B.C. Transit. “Monthly bus passes are up, single tickets are up, U-Pass usage is also up substantially.” In 2010-11, Capital Region ridership was 43 per cent higher than in areas with similar-sized transit systems, according to the most recent numbers provided by the Canadian Urban Transit Association. Those same numbers show Victoria transit users get comparably good value for their money. Operating costs for each Greater Victoria

passenger were $3, compared to an average of $3.55 in other regions. Ridership accounts for approximately 30 per cent of revenue for the transit authority. The remainder is comprised of provincial funding (34 per cent), property tax (21 per cent) and fuel tax (11 per cent) supplements. Smaller amounts are also derived from the B.C. Bus Pass and advertising. B.C. Transit operates bus service throughout the province outside of Metro Vancouver. Across the province, 51.6 million passenger trips were recorded last year.

Teens aged 13 to 18 can volunteer to be a big buddy for a week or more throughout the summer. “It’s a great way for them to get their volunteer hours that they need to have to graduate from high school,” Kendrick said. “And it’s a very enjoyable type of volunteering to do because they really get a chance to help a little buddy build up their reading skills.” New volunteers are required to attend a training session, where they learn about their role as a big buddy, what’s expected of them, and tips on how to interact with little buddies. Teens can register in person at any local branch or online at www. gvpl.ca. reporter@vicnews.com

Learning to love reading will make for a stronger reader. That’s the concept behind the reading buddies program at the Greater Victoria Public Library. The program, developed in 2001, pairs teen volunteers with elementary-aged children for week-long sessions to help build children’s reading abilities. It provides children with one more way to get extra help with reading, said Tracy Kendrick, coordinator of children’s and teen services. “We’ve found that the reading buddies program makes a huge difference for so many children,” she said. “Because we make it so fun, and because they really love the attention of the teen big buddy, it’s almost sometimes the thing that really turns their reading around for them,” Kendrick added. The program also includes literacy-based games and activities, such as board games, scavenger hunts, and crafts, in which both big and little buddies take part. This year, children will also have the opportunity to practice reading digitally. Six new Kobo Vox e-readers will be shared among local libraries, thanks to a partnership between the GVPL and Orca Book Publishers.

‘Heritage wall’ stays put

NO DUCTS… NO PROBLEM

Kyle Slavin News staff

There’s no question that the short beige wall on the south side of Kevin Crawford’s driveway sticks out like a sore thumb. The three-metre-long, curved concrete wall sits essentially in the middle of his lawn, fencing nothing in. There’s a much longer identical-looking fence that runs some 50 metres north of the driveway, though – and council feels the two walls need to stay together. The entire wall was years ago designated a heritage structure by the property owners at 3921 Blenkinsop Rd. But the property was subdivided in 2010, and Crawford, who now lives in a new house at 3919 Blenkinsop, has a hard time manoeuvring his vehicle into the shared driveway with the small, standalone wall in the way. Crawford successfully convinced the Saanich heritage foundation to support the removal

of the wall, but Saanich councillors overruled that decision last Monday night (July 23). “When we put covenants on, I like to think twice before we put them on, and we should think twice when we take them off. We need to balance reasonableness and common sense,” said Coun. Leif Wergeland, who was one of three councillors who supported removing the wall. “I’m not persuaded that there’s a big enough issue here for this

wall to be taken down just for a larger truck to get in,” Coun. Judy Brownoff said. The mayor and council voted 6-3 to keep the wall erect, but supported the notion of moving the wall, rather than demolishing it. Crawford said the finances and logistics of moving it aren’t worth it, as that one segment of wall is an estimated 5,000 pounds of concrete. kslavin@saanichnews.com

New drinking water fountains should be cropping up soon on the Galloping Goose and Lochside regional trails, thanks to a quiet fundraising effort by a former marathon coach. Tom Macdonald launched A Drop In the Bucket campaign last fall to raise $54,000, which would cover the cost of installing nine fountains between Sooke and Sidney. So far he’s funneled $43,800 to the Capital Regional District parks department, or about 80 per cent of his goal. Macdonald expects three fountains to be installed this summer or fall – at the Goose-Lochside junction near Uptown, on Lochside at the Blenkinsop Greenway junction, and on the Galloping Goose in Colwood, near Sooke Road. “I’d personally like to see nine put in this year, but (CRD parks) has other planning considerations. It has to dovetail with what they are doing,” said Macdonald, who works as the executive director of the Local Government Management Association. “I’ve tried to nudge every-

one on for this year, but you’ve got to be patient.” Karen Preston with CRD parks confirmed that three fountains will be installed this year, but details on precise locations or times haven’t been set. “We’d like to make something happen sooner rather than later,” Preston said. “It will be three this year, but we don’t have a final ‘yes’ on locations.” Macdonald launched the initiative after spending years as a volunteer marathon coach. He had to prearrange water drops along the regional trails for 30-plus kilometre training sessions, and thought there’s got to be a better way. He launched the website adropinthebucket.ca, and he and other volunteers have hit the trail on weekends to drum up cash and support. Hundreds of people have flipped in loonies and toonies into the hat, and some have gone home and donated $500 through the website. “I’ve spent many Sundays on the trail. My dog likes it,” Macdonald said. “I hang out with a thermos of coffee and chat with people about it. Most people think

it’s a good idea.” Morguard Investments (Uptown property owners), Peninsula Co-op, Running Room and Don Mann Excavating have each donated $6,000, the approximate cost of installing a fountain, adding to the 75 donors listed online. Macdonald is covering administrative costs, such as the website, to ensure all donated money goes to A Drop in the Bucket. Support has been almost entirely positive, although Macdonald said he was shocked when one cyclist rode past and yelled, “what a dumb idea.” It turned out to be Tim Wood, the recently retired CAO for Saanich and a personal friend of Macdonald. “Tim is a huge behind-the-scenes supporter of the project. He really believes in the project,” Macdonald said laughing. “It caught me off guard with the ‘dumb idea.’ I had a good laugh. Really, the support has been fabulous.” See www.adropinthebucket.ca for more information or to donate, or www. crd.bc.ca/parks/beinvolved/adropinthebucket.htm. editor@saanichnews.com

Artists in paint, glass, silver and photography will be on hand – some

at work on the spot, and others simply displaying their pieces – as musicians Paul O’Brien and Tom Hayward perform. “We wanted to expand the weekend extravaganza,” said Cadboro Bay Business Improvement Association (BIA) president Brian Dunn. Meanwhile, the Sunday festivities

in Gyro Park have been ramped up. World-champion sand sculpting teams will vie for the Cadborosaurus trophy as they create four seven-tonne sand sculptures with sand trucked in from Duncan. The annual 25-tonne sand sculpture visitors have come to expect will also be created. “We’re not trying to copy what Parksville’s doing,” said Saanich special events programmer Rob Phillips. “We’re trying to offer a different event to our local artists.” The free activities run from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. both days.

Richard Blanshard was parachuted into the fledgling community as the first colonial governor of Vancouver Island. He lasted less than two years here before returning to England.

Hudson’s Bay Company man Sir James Douglas spearheaded development of the new fort and settlement named for Britain’s reigning queen. His name adorns many geographic points around the Capital Region. to the waterfront, past Douglas’ home, with the development of the city’s first residential neighbourhood, the aforementioned James Bay.

• City United! Anniversary celebration and concert, Aug. 6 The City of Victoria is teaming up with the United Way to host a celebration and concert on B.C. Day. From noon to 6 p.m., go to St. Ann’s Academy for crafts, a cooking demonstration, chapel tours and a mystery carnival attraction. At 7 p.m. Juno-award winner Digging Roots perform at the Cameron Bandshell in Beacon Hill Park. Jon and Roy open the show.

Blanshard lasted less than two years on the job before heading back to England, where he ultimately retired to his family estate known, ironically, as Fairfield. When looking at the substantiveness of the region’s two main thoroughfares today, Humphries says, Blanshard Street ends at the Uptown development, while “Douglas goes right through town and all across the country” as part of the TransCanada Highway. Blanshard’s name is on a Ministry of Health building at Pandora Avenue and Blanshard Street. But aside from the street that becomes the Pat Bay Highway, he is largely forgotten in the history of Victoria. That is, unlike Douglas, who is buried along with various family members in a prominently marked spot in Ross Bay Cemetery. editor@vicnews.com

hen it comes to street and landmark names in Victoria, it’s clear who carried the most sway. James Douglas’ name appears on everything from the city’s main thoroughfare to a neighbourhood, the fringe of which his first home was built on the current site of the Royal B.C. Museum, as well as Mount Douglas (formerly known as Cedar Hill). His name was previously on the body of water known as James Bay – we call it the Inner Harbour today – which extended nearly to the Church of Our Lord at Humboldt and Blanshard streets, until the section east of Government Street was filled in to build the Empress Hotel and Crystal Garden. Then there’s his namesake elementary school in the heart of the Fairfield neighbourhood, named for Douglas’ original acreage, known in Hudson’s Bay Company settlement parlance as a “farm.” Danda Humphries, author of the book series On the Street Where You Live, likes to compare Douglas, the city’s founder and chief factor for the HBC’s Fort Victoria, with Richard Blanshard, the first colonial governor of Vancouver Island. Douglas was a lifelong company man, Humphries says, a person who worked his way up the ladder and was entrusted with establishing a trading post on the southern tip of the island. So, when the position of governor came up in 1849, she says, “Douglas assumed he was going to get the job.” To avoid any potential conflict of interest with Douglas, say some sources, Britain instead appointed Blanshard, a 31-year-old lawyer and nobleman who had served in the army. At that point, Douglas was in control of virtually everything concerning the fledgling settlement and further afield, and he apparently made Blanshard’s life miserable. The chief factor did, however, have a home built for his rival on the current site of the Bay Centre, across from the fort’s east gate. The pathway between the structures became known as Government Street. It was eventually extended southward

Time to move forward on deer F

or the past month, the Capital Regional District has been offering the public a chance to share their opinions on deer management options, through a series of online forms. The fourth instalment in the weekly survey, the deadline for which is today (Aug. 1), solicits input on capture and relocation methods and repellants. For the first three surveys, which solicited feedback on controlled public hunt, sharpshooting, administering immunocontraceptives to deer, deer-vehicle collision mitigation and public education options, a grand total of 102 responses have been received. Compare that to the thousands of responses the CRD received when it solicited general public feedback on the issue last year. The huge difference could indicate a couple of things: expecting lots of people to fill out online forms is unrealistic; and that the public believes the matter is now in the CRD’s hands to deal with, promptly. The vast majority of the public is not versed in the best repellent methods for discouraging deer or how best to mitigate collisions with the animals. Trying to determine whether people prefer hiring sharpshooters to pick off deer in the dark of night over a controlled public hunt is moot, since it will evoke the same emotions as previous consultations. The CRD appears to be bending over backwards to further prove that public consultation is being done, through the use of an unwieldy online survey – one that the advisory group can take or leave, according to the group’s stated criteria. Instead of playing around with optics on this issue, the CRD needs to instruct the advisory group to complete its research, avoid the distraction of further polarized suggestions, and come up with potential solutions. The final report, with recommendations on how and whether or not to proceed, is due in September. We trust that members of the group will have done their due diligence, taken the advice of those in the know and put forward a strategy that people, and the deer left behind, can live with.

That’s the beauty of Camp Goodtimes. As we tour the camp, and see the kids together, it’s evident that Matt misses the camaraderie and friendships formed in the weeks and over the years spent at camp. Because Matt is one of the Tour de Rock team’s guest riders this year, and we have a rigorous training schedule, this is the first time in 14 years he can’t spend at least a week there. But he, like the other 17 members of the Cops for Cancer team, knows that his commitment to ride will allow other kids with cancer to have a good time at camp. “Our day at camp was really a reminder about one of the main reasons I’m riding: for camp.

LETTERS

Readers voice concerns on sewage treatment Former env. minister Anderson’s argument on sewage hits mark Re: Money for treatment plant not in bank yet (Opinion, July 20) David Anderson’s logical and concise opposition to the Capital Regional District’s proposed wastewater treatment plans is weakened by his negative comments regarding federal funding assistance. Yes, some regional activists perceive the current CRD sewage system to be inadequate. No, that does not warrant the province receiving an increased and disproportionate share of forthcoming national infrastructure funding. Based on the reported findings of a multidisciplinary team of 10 from the University of Victoria and the work by six current and former public health officers, Anderson emphasizes that there are neither environmental needs nor health benefits to be realized with the CRD’s proposed sewage plan. This lack of a verified requirement must be a determining factor, and confirms there is no justification for a new sewage system that will cost every household in the CRD hundreds of dollars every year. Over what are now years of discussing sewage options, we’ve been subjected to the media-focused hijinks of Mr. Floatie. That this brown-costumed individual impersonating excrement may have influenced public opinion is unfortunate. That Mr. Floatie may have had a greater influence than local scientists and technical experts is sad commentary on our collective judgement. The final decision on the CRD sewage proposal is a political decision. It’s time to convince our elected representatives of the error of their ways. Media noise is not general consensus, and in this matter our UVic scientists and public health officers should be trusted. The proposed CRD sewage extravaganza must be stopped. Ron Johnson Saanich

Cost of building, operating treatment facility not worth the money May I recommend that readers give their most careful attention to Denise Blackwell’s letter (CRD wastewater must be treated, July 25) regarding the “anticipated” cost of the CRD’s planned sewage plant. Is she speaking as a lawyer, a financial expert or just a visionary planner? May we ask if she has thoroughly examined the implications of “Part 2 – Prohibitions and Authorizations” of the Environmental Management Act 2003 and taken account of the Environmental Management Amendment Act of 2004 or noted that the Municipal Sewage Regulation that she cites was repealed in April

this year and replaced by the new Municipal Wastewater Regulation? The value and intent of these complicated pieces of legislation will cost far less to test in the courts than even the day-to-day running costs of her mammoth sewage works. The spending of over $1 billion on an unnecessary sewage plant in British Columbia will no longer be ignored in isolation by the world’s financial markets. I challenge Denise Blackwell to produce full and thoroughly supported calculations of the CRD’s analysis of projected costs and increased property taxes. Ralph Smith Saanich

Evidence supporting why we need to treat sewage is lacking There is no scientific, environmental or even esthetic reason to spend this money. The whole thing was apparently started by some underemployed, but a school teacher who ran around dressed like a turd (Mr. Floatie) to stimulate an emotional response to a nonproblem. There isn’t a shred of visible or scientific evidence to show there is a danger to anything from our sewage outfall. Some politicians see an issue to ride to re-election and some bureaucrats see a way to get a leg up to the next promotion so the legislation is drafted to get the money moving without regard to the facts. Earl Smith Saanich

make no ecological sense for Victoria’s unique marine receiving environment. When director Geoff Young says the region has no plans to apply for an exemption, we have to ask ourselves who is looking after our eco-bucks and why they are prepared to condone squandering these precious eco-bucks on a bad plan? Bob Furber Saanich

Half-truths clouding treatment discussion Denise Blackwell speaks the truth. The truth is that the CRD requires the installation of sewage treatment by legislation. Unfortunately, that’s not the whole truth. The rest of the truth is that Victoria doesn’t need secondary sewage treatment. Study after study through the years has demonstrated this. Victoria is geographically unique. We live on the shores of a huge volume of deep, fast flowing water. The marine environment deals with it better than any other means we could develop. The current system is the most environmentally effective way to deal with our effluent. A land-based sewage treatment plant would be much more energy

intensive and greenhouse gas emitting than the current system – with no environmental advantage. So, this is yet another case of politics versus science. The politicians are not interested in the facts. They only want to meet the “one size fits all” legislative requirements which are flawed. We need this plan like we need another fleet of Fast Ferries. If this was taxpayer’s money well spent for the benefit of all, I would support the additional taxation. If we don’t all stand up and say no to this huge waste, we’re going to be on the hook for the better part of a billion dollars. Not to mention the funds that will no longer be available for better purposes. There is a plus side though: the bureaucrats will all feel better when they flush the toilet. Lingxia Li Saanich

CRD should seek exemption to federal requirements to treat sewage CRD director Geoff Young, Denise Blackwell and other CRD directors tell us we must proceed with the sewage treatment plan, not because it will help the ocean, but because they have been ordered to do so to meet new federal regulations. Listening to this, you would think the order is etched in stone. It is not. Numerous areas in Canada in the North are exempt in the regulations because of their unique receiving environments. Victoria has a unique marine receiving environment. The question, “Why is our region not demanding an exemption from the regulations?,” must be answered. There is wording in the newly proclaimed Wastewater Systems Effluent Regulations that acknowledges that “open marine waters,” like those off Victoria, are of low risk and can be exempt from providing secondary sewage treatment in the near future. All the evidence tells us the regulations

Police see spike in crashes from drunk driving Daniel Palmer News staff

Victoria and Saanich police are issuing a stern public warning after three drunk drivers fled crash scenes last week, in two cases leav-

ing passengers behind. The first crash occurred at the intersection of Selkirk and Coventry avenues in Esquimalt around 10 p.m. on Wednesday night. A Lincoln sedan crashed into two parked cars and the driver and one

passenger quickly fled, leaving the vehicle to coast down the street with two additional female passengers inside. Police are looking at an 18-year-old Saanich man in connection to the case. Early Thursday morning, a Nissan

Maxima crashed into a pole in the 500-block of Burnside Rd. Witnesses saw two women leaving the scene around 2:30 a.m. The women were then tracked by a K-9 unit to Douglas Street and Frances Avenue. A 25-year-old

woman was issued a 30-day driving ban and a ticket for leaving the scene of a collision. The third incident took place on Tuesday (July 24), when the driver of a Nissan pickup truck slammed into a tree in the 1700block of Rockland Ave. The 18-year-old passenger was sent to hospital after she was found pinned inside the wreckage and suffered several broken bones. The driver fled the scene and was found in the bushes nearby. “These situations could have been much worse, they could have been fatal,” said VicPD spokesman Mike Tucker. “That’s the risk people take when they drive drunk.”

Final bridge proposals due this month Finalized proposals for the Johnson Street Bridge replacement project from three construction bidders are expected to be received by Aug. 17. Bids for the bridge project, estimated at $92.8 million, will give Victoria council a clearer sense of ceiling costs. The contract process will then see closed-door meetings held with city staff and bidders to optimize design features. The general building contract will be awarded by the end of 2012 and development will begin in 2013. See www.johnsonstreetbridge.com.

Scammed senior warns about dubious lotteries Kyle Wells News staff

A victim of a scam who lost around $1,500 is warning people of the dangers of getting wrapped up in socalled international lottery scams. Donald Morrison, 70, came to West Shore RCMP in July telling them of the scam. About one year ago, Morrison received a letter from Winning International claiming he had won a lottery. He then received a phone call telling him that he had to send money in order to claim his winnings. Morrison said he had entered a

lottery in Spain he had read about in a newspaper two years before. It’s unclear whether that lottery is related to the scam that victimized him. Morrison suspected a scam but, in need of money, he agreed to send cash on the off-chance his win was legitimate. Numerous transactions over the next six months left Morrison short the money and stuck with a $700 cell phone bill from all the long distance calls he was receiving. Morrison did receive some money from the scammers, but only about $500 for the $2,000 he spent.

As recently as July 23, Morrison was in contact with the scammers, attempting to meet them in person and still hoping to get money promised to him. “The message is don’t get into any of those scams, those foreign lotteries,” Morrison said.

West Shore RCMP Sgt. Max Fossum said to never send anyone money in order to claim supposed wins. “That’s the message I want to give to everybody out there. If it’s too good to be true, it’s not true,” Fossum said. “They’re

Check bank statements, police advise pub patrons Station House in Langford hit with PIN pad scam Kyle Wells News staff

For the second time in the past month West Shore RCMP are reporting a scam at the Station House Pub in Langford. RCMP say within the past two weeks they have confiscated two compromised PIN pads from the business.

In early July, RCMP reported at least 53 credit cards had been compromised at the pub within the last few months in a scam carried out over the Internet. Now police are saying five more debit cards were also compromised at the pub between June 18 to June 21. Electronic devices were installed into two PIN pads that captured debit card information. The first compromised PIN pad was discovered and removed from the business about two weeks ago. On Monday, July 23, police seized another PIN pad from the pub. Sgt. Max Fossum couldn’t say how the second compromised

PIN pad wasn’t found in initial searches and said it’s possible it had been installed in the pub more recently. Fossum also said it might be an inside job, but that it’s more likely to be the work of someone not employed by the pub. Pub owner Bill Beadle said he has gone over and above required efforts to improve his security and is having all his debit machines replaced with more modern, secure PIN pads. “I’ve probably overdone what I need to do,” Beadle said. “Obviously someone decided to challenge my pub full out, premeditated. I’ve had to button it up.”

Beadle doesn’t suspect any employees either but said everyone is “guilty until proven innocent.” He advises other businesses to check their debit machines to make sure they haven’t been tampered with. RCMP still recommends anyone who has been to the Station House Pub lately to look at their bank statements and follow up on irregularities, along with informing the RCMP. “Let the RCMP know, let us know about it, so the investigation can proceed,” Fossum said. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Vision Matters Dr. Stephen Taylor

Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

The best fit for safety glasses If you wear safety glasses at work, you should get the best possible fit to protect you from hazards as well as to insure that you see as sharply as possible. Your eye doctor will first give you a thorough vision examination, checking for sources of eye irritation and other vision related problems. He or she will also check your visual acuity, eye coordination, and muscle function. In recommending the beset safety glasses for your needs, your eye doctor will want to know the type of work you do. What level of eye protection is required for your particular occupation? Does your work require that you view object at far and near? Depending on your age you may need safety glasses that correct for vision both close up and in the distance. The position of the tasks you perform must also be considered. If your close up work is above eye level, for example, there are even glasses that have the bifocals on top so that you can work above your head with comfort. Ensure your safety glasses and all your eyewear are meeting your needs as well as possible. See your Optometrist for regular eye examinations.

So the music is, for me, this really great marriage between what it is to be people and what it is to all come together as a community and to capture those energies.” The performance is viewable from throughout the Inner Harbour.

Through music and narration the work celebrates the history of the city, focusing on First Nations heritage, the city’s British roots, the Chinatown area and other aspects of the city’s identity. “Music has a way of very much representing our culture and very much presenting who we are,” music director Tania Miller said. “That’s what we tried to grab in the programming around this 150th anniver-

Setting up for Sooke’s fine art show News staff

Alan Graves is a master at converting an ice arena into an art gallery, the hardest part of setting up the Sooke Fine Arts Show. It takes dozens of volunteers and hundreds of hours to achieve the look and feel of a gallery. And it happens beautifully every year. Graves takes care of details: the large and fine points, from the layout of the panels for the exhibition’s modular system to the lighting, and hanging of the art work to the tiny tweaks to straighten a painting. For the past five years, Graves has been the designer for the Sooke Fine Arts Show. He sorts through hundreds of works of art, finding the perfect spot to display each and every one. Each year is a little different and Graves said this year they are consistently getting a number of art pieces that have the same esthetic. He felt the digital jurying process worked out very well and he was able to get a preliminary view of the work. With that look at the work to be displayed, he was quite surprised at the quality of the

A new Blues musical, Big Mama! The Willie Mae Thornton Story, stars Canadian jazz legend Jackie Richardson backed by an all-star band including Juno nominee Bill Johnson, Ron Casat and Andy Graffiti. Willie Mae Thornton began singing in her father’s Baptist Church in Montgomery, Ala., and by the age of 14 she was touring with the Hot Harlem Revue. In 1951, Thornton signed a recording contract with Peacock Records and subsequently recorded Hound Dog, the Leiber and Stollerpenned tune that was written for her and stayed at No. 1 on the Billboard R&B charts for seven weeks. Three years later, the song would launch the career of Elvis Presley. Like Big Mama, Richardson got her start singing in church. A multi-faceted performer, Rich-

Young composer wins honour Colwood girl’s composition stands out among 24,000 entries Kyle Wells News staff

A young piano student has received an honourable mention in an international competition for her composition Shadows. Kayla Brodrick, 8, wrote her piece early this year and said she came to it by playing around with a group of notes that appealed to her. The finished 25-bar piece is a moody, haunting piece of music that earns its title. “I named it that because most of the notes are played with the left hand and they’re all lower,” Kayla said. “And it just goes really well with that title.” A student at Colwood elementary school, Kayla has been playing the piano for two years. She takes lessons with Catharine Kemp-Roth, an instructor who teachers the Music for Young Children program out of her Sonatina Piano Studio. As a part of the slightly unorthodox approach to teaching piano, which includes group lessons, games and improvisation, Kemp-Roth introduces her players to composing as they learn to play. In total, 24,000 entries were submitted to the overall competition, which is put on by the Music for Young Children organizers. Kayla competed in the western region, which runs from Alaska down the coast to California. The recognition came as a surprise to Kayla, who said Kemp-Roth acted sly about

Kyle Wells/News staff

Kayla Brodrick earned kudos for her composition Shadows in a competition extending from Alaska to California. the award during a class with other students. She made sure to hand out Kayla’s results last, knowing she had earned an honour. “I was really, really excited,” Kayla said. “I love music, it’s just one of my favourite things. It’s really fun.” Kayla wrote the piece before she was even at the level that she could play it herself.

Kemp-Roth would play it for her and help her work through the process. Now Kayla can play her own composition. “It’s about conceiving of the idea and being able to assemble it logically,” Kemp-Roth said. “But now she’s had to play it, which I think is great.” For more information on the Music for Young Children program visit myc.com.

It’s just past 8 a.m. and Eric Pittman is right on time to witness a momentous occasion in the bitsy lives of Rabbit and Hatter. With his video camera trained on the two baby hummingbirds, Pittman records the siblings leaving their nest, then flying right back – their first ventures out into the world. The babies’ speedy turnaround is something Pittman has never seen go down quite like this. “It’s very unusual,” he said. The Esquimalt resident is highly attuned to the intricacies of the birds’ behaviour. For the past three years, he has spent one to three hours a day documenting the life cycle of Anna’s hummingbirds, in a colony located on what he dubs Hummingbird Hill. He prefers to keep the actual location secret, for fear curious people will disturb the nests. Most people strolling in the park would be surprised to learn the nests are within easy reach, sometimes as low as chest level – but only if you know what to look for. They are hidden in plain sight, blending in with the fungus on the branches of trees. Pittman uses his hearing to zero in on the birds. A high-pitched peep tells him not only the location of the birds, but also what they’re up to. Whether feeding or fighting, each activity comes with a different sound. Filming and photographing is a labour of love for Pittman, who calls himself a citizen scientist. He pays the bills by selling windows currently, but he’s fuelled by observing hummingbirds. He hopes to make a documentary, but his footage is also proving useful to a new scientific study looking into the breeding habits of the birds. “Eric is just unbelievable at finding nests – it’s crazy,” said Alison Moran, the volunteer co-ordinator of the Hummingbird Project, managed by the Rocky Point Bird

Observatory. “When you have someone with that kind of skill set, there is the opportunity to look at what the nesting requirements are, how they’re doing it,” she said. “We’ve learned an awful lot just because we’re able to do the observational study, because we’ve got the guru there.” The Hummingbird Project was launched in 1997 and encompasses many studies of hummingbird populations in B.C. and Alberta. In February, the project turned its attention to the resident population of Anna’s hummingbirds in Esquimalt. Migrating hummingbirds, such as the Rufous, have declined significantly over the past 40 years, said Moran, who lives in Saanich. By contrast, the Anna’s population on Vancouver Island has grown exponentially since they stopped migrating and put down permanent roots in the 1950s. “It’s like an atom bomb going off,” she said. Staying put means the birds don’t have to expend their energy on migration. Instead, they spend their energy having babies and building multiple nests each year. “Now, interestingly, there is an overlap between where the Rufous have been lost and where the Anna’s have expanded into,” Moran said. But, she warned, that doesn’t mean the Anna’s are to blame for the decline of migrating species. They could simply be filling a gap created by other forces. The purpose of Moran’s study is to start to understand whether the relationship is causal, or simply correlational. While Rufous are very sensitive to urbanization, Anna’s are positively impacted by humans, she explained. “They actually try to breed around us,” she said. Pittman jokes they lay eggs like chickens. With his tripod, video camera and camera tucked in his arms, he scrambles up rocks and crouches through narrow deer paths. As he ducks and weaves, he points out

several nests, some in use and some being pilfered by female birds to make their next nest. Most people who document hummingbird life cycles stop the day the fledgelings leave the nest, Pittman said. But he likes to track them until they are fully weaned. So much happens during this time, he said. Later in the morning, he documents Hatter getting “a beatdown” by another hummingbird. Young ones often get tough love from their moms, too. She’ll pull on their feathers to throw

them off balance and force them to fly, he explained. Mom is eager to encourage self-sufficiency in her young so she can stop feeding them and tend to her next batch of eggs. Over the years, Pittman has climbed trees to get a better shot, returned fallen eggs to their nest, and even fed a starving baby whose mother was sick. He said he doesn’t feel paternalistic toward the hummingbirds, that his interest is merely the photographic challenge. But his care is hard to miss. “It’s always nice to see them fledge, because then I know they made it out okay.”

In fact, preventable injuries are the leading cause of death for British Columbians between the ages of one and 44, and claim the lives of more children in the province than all other causes combined.

These injuries devastate lives. They also place an enormous burden on our health care system: at over $4 billion a year, the care and rehabilitation of victims of preventable injuries is one of the most significant costs to our provincial budget.

We want to get you thinking about risk and consequences. Every day, more than 1,100 British Columbians are injured seriously enough by predictable and preventable injuries to

We are a registered non-profit organization, governed by a board of directors that represents organizations including TELUS, Pacific Blue Cross, London Drugs, Insurance Bureau of Canada, BCAA Road Safety Foundation, Justice Institute of BC, WorkSafeBC and the BC Ministry of Labour. Our work is made possible through the financial and inkind support of over 80 other companies and organizations.

What we’re doing

Our goal is simple: to change the way British Columbians think about preventable injuries. By raising awareness, starting dialogue, and transforming social attitudes, we want to significantly reduce both the number and severity of preventable injuries in BC.

By staging provocative, unexpected events in provocative, unexpected places, we want to cut through the noise and get British Columbians thinking about risk and consequences. We want to challenge the idea that serious injuries only happen to “other people.” We want

We’ve invested considerable resources to develop a provincewide, multi-year strategy.

The owner of a Langford-based construction company has been arrested for the alleged sexual assault of five female employees over the course of one year. Kyle Mostowy, owner and project manager for All Canadian Construction Ltd., located on Van Isle Way, is facing five counts of sexual assault for crimes allegedly taking place between Oct. 2010 and Sept. 2011. West Shore RCMP Sgt. Max Fossum said the assaults were not violent in nature but could not get into details while the case is before the courts. The five women were employees of the company and all of the assaults are alleged to have taken place in Mostowy’s home, which doubles as his office. Police became aware of the crimes after one of the alleged victims came to them in Oct. 2010. At that time Crown council did not approve charges. A second complaint also failed to bring about charges. Once more victims came forward, charges were approved by Crown council. RCMP obtained a warrant and arrested Mostowy on Thursday, July 19.

Vees vet named Grizzlies captain Penticton product Zach Urban leads squad in new ownership era Kyle Wells News staff

Heâ€™s big, heâ€™s talented and heâ€™s the new captain of the Victoria Grizzlies. Defenceman Zach Urban, 19, stands 6-foot-3 and weighs 205 lbs. Heâ€™s coming from the Jr. A national champion Penticton Vees to join the Grizzlies as the teamâ€™s first Bill Bestwick-era captain. Through 58 regular season games and 15 postseason outings last season, Urban chalked up four goals and 18 assists, along with 88 penalty minutes. General manager and head coach Best-

wick said the team is moving forward and building up talent. He expects Urban to be a defensive stalwart on the team, along with a leader. â€œHe comes to us knowing what it takes to be a champion,â€? Bestwick said, â€œknowing what hard work and dedication and commitment is required to be successful at this level.â€? The Vees set league records for wins (54) and consecutive wins (42) last season. Urban, born in Alberta, has lived in Kelowna since he was 14 and is excited for the move to both Victoria and the Grizzlies squad. â€œIâ€™m just going to try to bring my best foot forward. Iâ€™m going to have to lead by example being captain,â€? Urban said. â€œIâ€™m really excited. I think we have a great group of kids coming in that I think, if we jell properly, weâ€™re going to have a really

successful year.â€? Along with Urban, defenceman D.J. Jones, 20, is also coming from Penticton in trade for Alex Holland. Forward Brett Hartskamp is also becoming a Grizzly after being acquired from the Swan Valley Stampeders Hockey Club out of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League. Forward Turner Lawson, 19, has been acquired from the Vernon Vipers. Goaltender Brady Rouleau and forward Garrett Skrbich are also joining the team in a multi-player deal with the Westside Warriors. Training camp begins Aug. 20, with the teamâ€™s first exhibition game scheduled for Aug. 24 at home against the Cowichan Valley Capitals.

The Victoria Shamrocks will face the Coquitlam Adanacs in the first round of playoffs on Saturday after ending the season with two definitive wins. The â€™Rocks clinched a playoff spot last Friday after defeating rivals the Nanaimo Timbermen 11-7 at home, in what was their biggest game of the season. The Shamrocks needed one win of their next two games to secure an entry into postseason play. Victoriaâ€™s big guns were too much to handle for the Timbermen, with Corey Small leading the way with five goals in the Victoria win. Jeff Shattler contrib-

uted a hat trick, Ryan Benesch added a pair, while Derek Lowe had one goal with three assists. The â€™Rocks wrapped up their season Sunday with a 14-10 win over the Timbermen, which locked the Shamrocks into second place in the Western Lacrosse Association standings. Victoria won one and lost two during the regular season against third-place Coquitlam. The Victoria Shamrocks best of seven series against the Adanacs begins Aug. 4, 7:45 at Bear Mountain Arena.

Online game helps house homeless monks Victoria-based Facebook connections help rebuild Himalayan monastery Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

Facebook connections are rebuilding a home for boy monks in Bhutan, thanks to a pair of Oak Bay women and a Victoria gaming company. In September 2011, 32 male monks were left homeless after their home, the 300-year-old Chetokha monastery was damaged in an earthquake. Earthquake relief started well before the shaker, though Chris Hoyer and Carla Funk, both of Oak Bay, didn’t know it at the time. They were on a photographic journey to the remote Himalayan country in 2008 and they had photographed many of the young men now struggling without shelter. “We had a wonderful time and the people are so friendly,” Hoyer said. A member of the tour group, Vancouverbased photographer Jamie Kowal, set up a website to sell donated photos to raise money for the monastery. “This is a great example of how versatile online fundraising can be,” Funk said. “The contributing photographers live across Canada and the U.S., yet were able to upload their photos for sale to the website. The photographs are paid for online, sent digitally to printers in the U.S., and then posted directly to the customer. We spread the word through our email and Facebook connections. We had orders from as far

Submitted photos

(Above) Some of the young monks displaced by an earthquake that hit Bhutan in (Right) Chris Hoyer, left, and Carla Funk during a trip to Bhutan in 2008 that left a lasting impression, and desire to help. away as Switzerland.” Sonam Dema, of Bhutan, first alerted Hoyer to the plight of the monks of the Chetokha Monastery through a message on Facebook. “The monastery is in a remote area, close to where my family lives, and these five- to 12-year-old boys were left living in makeshift tents, with the Himalayan winter coming on. I sent out a message to all my contacts on Facebook and I have been astonished by the great response,” Dema said. “We were able to buy the boys warm jackets and blankets to help them through the worst of the winter.”

Again through Facebook, the Oak Bay women created a connection with GameHouse Canada, which concocted an online game to raise funds for the monastery.

To donate To donate to the cause, mail cheques to Chetokha Monastery Fund c/o Sonam Dema, 4095 Orion Place, Victoria, B.C., V8N 5K9, or go to jaimekowal.com/ bhutan_earthquake_relief to purchase photos.

“We run many different games throughout the year, and we create several especially to raise money for different charities,” explained Marc Dugas, producer at GameHouse Canada. “It’s our company’s way of giving back to our community, and we like to support local charities where possible.” The Victoria company’s Facebook game raised nearly $5,000 for the Chetokha Monastery Fund through the Pema Lingpa Treasure Vahrayana Centre of Victoria. “Now, with the money from (GameHouse), we can do even more,” said Dema, a member of the non-profit Pema Lingpa, a Buddhist society. “I will be returning to Bhutan later this summer and I will personally deliver all the money raised directly to the monastery. The boys should be properly housed this winter, thanks in large part to the generosity of Canadians, whose hearts were touched when they heard about their situation.”
