Despite geese, regional lakes clean enough for swimmers Natalie North News staff
In July 2011 in the week leading up to the Self Transcendence Triathlon held at Elk Lake, high bacteria levels caused by Canada Geese droppings sparked a water quality warning from the Vancouver Island Health Authority. That warning was lifted just minutes before the triathlon start and the event went as planned. This year, despite an increase in geese on the lake as observed by the Capital Regional District parks staff, bacteria levels are well within what’s considered safe for swimming. “(Fecal coliform levels) are almost always related to the geese, especially once the bathers go away,” said Erwin Dyck, supervisor of environmental health officers for the Vancouver Island Health Authority. “If you go in the evenings, you’ll see (geese) just congregating where it’s easy to get out of the water.” Human activity will add to some of the contamination, but geese are responsible for the bulk of the bacteria levels, Dyck added. The CRD has contracted a dog handler to haze geese from the beaches at Elk and Beaver lakes. Fecal coliform levels are considered high when bacteria measurements exceed 200 cfu (colonyforming units) per 100 ml of water. At Elk Lake park’s popular Hamsterly Beach, the latest reading hit 36 cfu. PLEASE SEE: Bacteria counts, Page A5

Plate readers drive privacy worries Privacy commissioner launches investigation into how data is used Daniel Palmer News staff
Is Big Brother really watching you? Three Victoria privacy advocates have spent the past two years trying to answer that question, digging up scraps of information on a controversial police technology called the automated licence plate recognition system. “We have been stymied at every level,” said Chris Parsons, a University of Victoria PhD candidate specializing in privacy issues.
The device uses police cruiser-mounted cameras to automatically capture up to 3,000 licence plates per hour. It then notifies officers of a “hit” on prohibited owners, as well as stolen and uninsured vehicles. The technology is used throughout British Columbia and administered by the RCMP. In Greater Victoria, VicPD, Saanich police and the Integrated Road Safety Unit deploy it on a regular basis. What makes the program so concerning to critics is that data collected from “non-hit” vehicles is kept on encrypted RCMP servers for two years. Although it’s not used, the information could be referenced for investigative purposes to retrace vehicle movements. The RCMP insists such actions are not tak-
ing place, but the Mountie in charge of the program, Supt. Denis Boucher, said his office is considering expanding the program. “It’s called function creep,” Parsons said. “That means every citizen that drives, they want to be able to track who they are and where they’re at.” Parsons claims that the information is already being cross-referenced with child custody and other court records unrelated to driving infractions, but Boucher denies this. “It doesn’t flag somebody simply because he’s got a criminal record,” Boucher said. “These are for hits where we have outstanding action to be taken against an individual.” PLEASE SEE: Reader ‘proven its worth’, Page A13

Police seek leads on attack at Hampton park Kyle Slavin News staff
Saanich police are looking for anyone with information on a vicious, unprovoked attack that occurred in Hampton Park last week. Two men in their 50s were walking through the park, near Tillicum Centre, around 10:45 p.m on July 25. They passed a group of four young men, who started following the older men, then challenged them, began swearing and demanded money. One of the young men struck a 52-year-old Saanich man in the side of the head with what is believed to have been a baseball bat. He was left with a concussion and a three-inch gash in his head. “This is a very, very serious assault,” said Sgt. Dean Jantzen. The group of young men ran off, and a Saanich police canine unit was unsuccessful in tracking them down. The only description police have of the suspects is they were all young men, between the ages of 14 and 20. “If you know something about this, or you’re one of those four people and are disturbed by what has happened, if you know someone who might be bragging about this on various social media, whether it be Facebook or Twitter, or in fact have heard someone talking about this publicly, we do want to hear from you,” Jantzen said. “We are at a loss in this investigation. … Unfortunately there’s little for our officers to go on.” Anyone with information is asked to call Saanich police at 250-475-4321 or, if you with to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

A new era for erotic lit? Fifty Shades phenomenon driving renewed interest in sexuality, says therapist Natalie North News staff
Its title has seeped into Facebook statuses and tabloid headlines, comedians have staged dramatic readings, and at Chapters in Downtown Victoria, the racy book and its two steamy follow ups are the store’s top three best-sellers. Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James – the first in the series of sadomasochism (SM) erotica which has been widely criticized for its poor quality of writing – has become one of the fastest selling books of all time, and one local sex therapist began experiencing an onslaught of women bent on getting in tune with their sexual side like never before. “It’s interesting to me, how the people who have never really been interested in sex are sud-

denly interested in erotica and more of an erotic life for them and their husbands,” said Jayne Weatherbe, a Victoria-based marriage and family sex therapist in practice for the last 30 years. “What I’m also noticing in friends and family is that people who have never really been interested in sex in their marriages are suddenly getting really interested.” This week, the 63-year-old therapist hoped to address those desires she attributes to the book by offering three free workshops aimed at women of all ages who would like to feel sexier. University of Victoria political science professor Janni Aragon specializes in pop culture and gender issues and sees some troubles in Fifty Shades. Aragon completed her thesis on women in sadomasochism at San Diego State University and says the research reveals most women in SM play the more dominant role, unlike the submissive role portrayed by the lead character in the book. She likens the work, which initially began as fan fiction linked to the Twilight series, as similar to
any other fad women are told to buy into – from the South Beach Diet to Brazilian waxing. “Too bad it’s not good writing,”
“People who have never really been interested in sex are suddenly interested in erotica and more of an erotic life for them and their husbands.” – Jayne Weatherbe Marriage therapist Aragon said. “Too bad it’s not more philosophical, but people want some sort of feel-good thing, and if this is causing women to be more sexual or sensual, that’s positive. I just hope lots of women aren’t buying into that they need to be submissive ... this want to be submissive and to have a man take care of you is very Twilightesque, very Harlequin-esque.” Metchosin and Vancouver-based contemporary romance writer Susan Lyons – who also writes under the pen name Susan Fox
or Savannah Fox – has noticed a marked boost in her foreign sales since the rise of the Fifty Shades of Grey phenomenon. “The industry is responding,” Lyons said. “Publishers are repackaging books to look more like Fifty Shades of Grey – the kinds of covers that women will take out in public.” On July 11, Aragon noted, Penguin Group rereleased Anne Rice’s Sleeping Beauty trilogy repackaged with a Fifty Shades-esque cover and a line that reads: If you liked Fifty Shades of Grey, you’ll love the Sleeping Beauty trilogy. Lyons, like Aragon, is unwilling to purchase the book due to her disinterest in a theme of female submission. Weatherbe admits the writing may not be of high literary merit, but it’s having an effect on the women around her. “The one good thing about this is that women are talking about sex and sexuality,” Aragon said. “Sorry to be so cliché: that’s a win. Now if we were talking more about female orgasm, positive sexuality, positive body image – I’d be happier with that.” nnorth@saanichnews.com

Saanich sets sights on Tillicum Target Kyle Slavin News staff
Before the big red and white bullseye gets installed at Tillicum Centre, Saanich council had a chance last week to approve or refuse a few changes to the mall’s Zellers store, as it transitions into a Target. Council got its first look at what the future retailer will look like, complete with a brand new facade with a “blade wall with multi-coloured signage,” said Elisa Brandts, president
of PBK Architects. Coun. Judy Brownoff stressed to Brandts and landscape architect Damon Oriente that their planned removal of the invasive ivy from the outside walls of Zellers wouldn’t sit well with her. “If you’re not enamoured with ivy, you might want to look at a green wall or something to showcase to the community that you recognize (that vegetation provides an opportunity for cleaning air),” Brownoff said. “(The ivy has) a softening effect

to the whole facade. I would really encourage you to look at how to retain some softening with the (noninvasive) Boston ivy.” “I think there’s always room at the corporate level to adapt to the community and still maintain your corporate image,” added Coun. Vicki Sanders. Council unanimously supported the development permit, which included a variance on parking and signage, pointing to the aging Zellers as sore point in the community. “I’m pleased the firm has chosen to make an investment here, because the alternative (of Zellers) might not be very attractive,” said Mayor Frank Leonard. Coun. Paul Gerrard made it known that he hopes the revitalization of the Zellers space will encourage mall owner RioCan to get started on the residential developments approved by council a few years ago. Two conjoined condo towers,
reaching heights of nine and 13 storeys with 296 apartments and 2,600 square metres of ground-floor retail space inside, were approved in May 2009. “Maybe (RioCan’s) excitement of having Target here will be the kick to start the residential,” Gerrard said. Coun. Vic Derman attempted to get some of Target’s corporate sustainability commitments tied down, rather than simply being “targets – no pun intended,” he said, but was unsuccessful. “To try and hold this one up because they have a good corporate policy and we want to get (their commitments) in legalese, I think that’s actually punishing them,” Leonard said. Zellers is expected to close by the end of summer, and the store space will undergo six to nine months of renovations at a cost of $10 to $11 million. Target is set to open at Tillicum by April 2013.

Police hit Saanich home for guns LOCAL DINING They came for the guns, but stayed for the cocaine and ecstacy. The Saanich police street crime unit, aided by the Capital Region emergency response team, raided a house on Tuesday in a leafy Tattersall Drive neighbourhood on a warrant looking for illegal guns. Police found what they were looking for: a long-barreled shotgun and two revolvers – a .357 Magnum and a .38 caliber. At the same time, investigators found several ounces of cocaine, ecstasy and a small 30- to 40plant marijuana grow-op. Sgt. Dean Jantzen said street crime officers are tracing the history of the weapons, but investigators suspect they were illegally obtained and used hand in hand with drug trafficking. “This is an excellent example of the two going together: weap-

“You see it time and time again, but fortunately for our community it’s not as routine to see firearms.” Two people, a male and a female, came out of the house voluntarily when police arrived at 3 p.m. and were taken into custody. A 30-year-old Saanich man was arrested at a Victoria construction site in connection to the warrant. Jantzen said the man is known to police across Greater Victoria and will likely face weapons related charges. “Anytime you take illicit firearms off the street it’s a good day,” Jantzen said. “Unlawful possession of firearms is a big concern. It’s a danger to officers and the (emergency response team), but then you also have a nice neighbourhood here in the community.” editor@saanichnews.com

the oncoming lane to zoom past another vehicle. The uniformed officer estimated the bikes were travelling at 160 km/h. The speed limit on that road is 60 km/h. The police vehicle followed the bikes – though it took quite a bit of time and distance, said Sgt. Dean Jantzen. When the lights and sirens were activated, one biker stopped while the second continued. “These two riders were obviously known to each other. … The officer requested the one rider contact the other by cellphone, and have him return to
the scene,” Jantzen said. The second biker returned. Jantzen said both motorcyclists – a 22 year-old Victoria man and a 25-year-old Oak Bay man – took responsibility for their actions and had no previous records. Each were issued a ticket for excessive speeding worth between $300 and $468. Their licences were also suspended and their bikes were impounded. As is the typical during the summer, Jantzen warned drivers that traffic officers will be deployed on Durrance Lake Road throughout the summer. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Licence probe a positive move D
epending what side of the fence you sit on, automatic licence plate readers are either another step closer to a Big Brother surveillance society, or a needed piece of technology police can use to nab car thieves and bad drivers. Either way, it is a good decision by B.C. Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham to try and shed light on how licence plate readers work, what data is collected and how it is used. Victoria and Saanich police departments and the regional Integrated Road Safety Unit each use a hightech, high-speed camera which can read thousands of plates per hour and match them against those from stolen and uninsured vehicles, and help identify people without valid licences or those who are prohibited from driving – collectively known by police as “hits.” The Victoria and Saanich police insist they don’t amass and store gigabytes of licence plate image data. That much is true – it’s all passed on to the RCMP, which administers and oversees the licence reader program. All the data is stored on RCMP servers, hits and non-hits alike. RCMP bosses indicate the program could be expanded to help police conducting serious crimes investigations. Victoria-based critics say the plate-scanning program has veered far outside its original mandate to efficiently find bad drivers, and is headed into mass population surveillance, or surveilling known activists. This suggestion seems like conspiracy theory, but it is a fair question to ask how much surveillance people should be subjected to, what data is being collected and kept and how it’s being stored. On days the readers are in use, Saanich and Victoria police officers retrieve an encrypted memory stick from the RCMP with flagged drivers’ plate numbers, which is plugged into the system. At the end of the shift, the collected data and encrypted database is returned to the RCMP. Hopefully the B.C. privacy commissioner can offer suggestions to balance the tension between privacy rights and law enforcement. But that investigation likely won’t be able to probe the most troubling aspect of the automatic licence plate reading program – the collection and storage by the RCMP of the locations and movements of innocent people going about their daily lives. The federal privacy watchdog needs to investigate what the RCMP is doing with this data. Police should have their tools, but civil rights shouldn’t be thrown under the bus.

OPINION
Carbon Trust has run its course
The B.C. government’s Pacific Carbon Trust has become frighteningly adept at taking taxpayers’ money – $14 million last year – and transferring it to big businesses. It’s time for the provincial government to scrap the Trust, and end corporate welfare disguised as environmentalism. The numbers prove that transferring tax dollars to companies through the illusion of carbon neutrality is a massive failure. The Trust’s new annual report, released in late July, shows that government agencies purchased 775,825 of the 777,992 carbon offsets sold by the Trust last year. That means 99.7 per cent of the Trust’s work was Jordan Bateman funded by taxpayers. Guest column Only 12 private companies or individuals bought carbon credits last year for a measly $54,050. The rest of the Trust’s $14-million budget was funded exclusively by taxpayers, taking money out of our pockets, classrooms, hospitals and social services. For example, the Vancouver Island Health Authority was forced to buy $887,926 in carbon credits. The Vancouver School Board spent $454,824 and the Northern Health Authority paid $650,466. Under provincial law, any provincial government agency that wasn’t already carbon neutral had to purchase offsets from the Trust. Even worse, that taxpayer money flowed exclusively into the pockets of corporations, including some of the largest companies in the province.
Lafarge, a $20-billion company, was paid by the Trust to either radically change the model or get out of the for 22,998 carbon credits. Encana, an $8.8-billion company, business altogether. For government, it’s just another day sold 84,276 credits. Canfor, a $2.5-billion company, sold at the office. 41,573 credits. Other sellers included TimberWest and Government’s spring 2012 announcement that $5 million Interfor. of Trust funds will flow back to school districts to lower These companies reduced their carbon footprints carbon emissions won’t solve the problem. This will only through various projects such as switching fuel sources transfer money from poorer districts to wealthier ones and sold the resulting pollution savings, known as carbon that can afford capital upgrades. And the fund is still only credits, to the Trust. The Trust acts as a middleman, one-third of the total cost to taxpayers – meaning millions buying carbon credits from private companies with tax more in corporate handouts in years to come. dollars. The best solution is the simplest one: scrap the Pacific The Trust does not publish the cost of purchasing Carbon Trust and keep our tax dollars out of the pockets carbon credits from these private companies, only saying of these private companies. While the notion of a carbonit’s less than the $25 price tag they put on each carbon neutral government may sound nice on a website, doing credit when they’re selling them to various government it through corporate welfare hurts both taxpayers and the agencies. At a conservative estimate of $20 per credit, public services we fund. that’s almost $1.7 million to Encana, $831,000 to Canfor and almost half a million dollars to Lafarge. When the Trust was first announced in the B.C. Liberals’ 2008 throne speech, the government promised that it would “foster economic growth from new opportunities … (by attracting) offset purchases from private citizens, companies and other governments alike.” That hasn’t happened; the Trust is still a drain on provincial taxpayers – and getting worse.

Cyclists need to adhere to Motor Vehicle Act
Re: Scientists must hound CRD (Our View, July 25) The ongoing debate for and against sewage treatment in the Capital Regional District has been going on too long. On one side are those whose opinions are based, it seems, on unfounded images of our effluent floating around our waters and deterring the tourists. On the other side are the scientists, who actually study our waters and tell us there is no scientific evidence of any benefit from installing secondary treatment. The scientists who have spent years acquiring their knowledge based on fact, not surmise, are the people whose opinions should be followed. They should speak up more forcibly and insist we hear and understand the true facts: that the money saved would be there for more urgent matters, such as the loss of marine habitat due to development and the impact of invasive and non-native species. Mary-June Pettyfer Oak Bay
A recent edition of the News (July 25) carried an article reporting on two separate accidents, one of which saw a cyclist trapped underneath a truck that was making a right turn. The comment from the Victoria Police Department spokesman was that “drivers should always shoulder check and cyclists also have a responsibility to make themselves visible to drivers.” Rather than putting the onus on drivers to always shoulder check and bikers just making themselves visible, cyclists have a responsibility to act according to the Motor Vehicle Act and ride according to the rules of the road. Being a cyclist myself, I have seen many incidents where cyclists do their utmost to sneak up the inside and go through intersections when the intelligent thing to do is wait, stay behind the vehicle, let them turn right and then proceed. Let’s all be accident-free. Harry Felsing Saanich

ROOKIE MEETS VETERAN Niki Hodgkinson and Jana Sawyer eye Tour de Rock
N
iki Hodgkinson was 16 when she shaved her head for the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock. Eleven years later she’s riding in the Tour de Rock as a rookie officer with Saanich police. The annual fundraiser she started at Oak Bay high school has been ongoing ever since. “I’ve wanted to get involved since then, and wanted to be (a cop), I just didn’t think I’d be able to ride on the Tour so soon,” Hodgkinson said. The 27-year-old is at one end of the spectrum, while fellow Saanich officer Jana Sawyer is at the other end. Sawyer has worn a badge for 28 years, starting with nine years in the RCMP. The past 19 years she’s been with Saanich, making her one of the longest serving women there. “I’d always wanted to ride the Tour de Rock, but with three teenage boys and a husband with (Victoria Police Department), I needed the support from home, and now I’ve got it,” Sawyer said. Cancer has taken a personal toll on her family. “Lung cancer took my mother-in-law eight years ago and my own mom six years ago when it spread to her brain.” Rookie or veteran, both police officers have learned a lot about bicycling, and a lot about what makes the Tour de Rock such a demanding but rewarding campaign. “As far as cycling, you couldn’t jump into it with this type of training intensity without such a big goal,” Sawyer said. While cycling at this level is new for

Saanich police officers Jana Sawyer, left, and Niki Hodgkinson represent the senior and rookie ranks of the SPD on this year’s Tour de Rock. Hodgkinson, she brings experience to the fundraising component. Oak Bay High can be relied on as one of the highest contributors from the Greater Victoria community, as well as Reynolds secondary. “Reynolds (principal) Alana Charlton was at Oak Bay when I was a student and helped me get the campaign started,” Hodgkinson said. Biking too, was Hodgkinson’s initiative. Seniority usually dictates which Saanich Police officers will ride on the Tour de Rock, but the rookie was ready. “Last year when I got hired the first thing I bought was a (road) bike. But I don’t think anyone’s done Tour de Rock in their first year here. I got lucky.”
Lucky is something Sawyer hasn’t been. Twice she’s taken a spill, the first a dangerous tumble over the handlebars and onto the pavement down Willis Point Road. It kept her away from training for 10 days. Soon after she returned, Sawyer twisted her ankle trying to detach her cleat from the pedal during a speedy descent near Observatory Hill. Sprained ankle and all, Sawyer toughed it up the team’s ascent of Mount Washington last week, their most exhausting day of training by far. “Once you do (Mt. Washington), you know you can handle any day on the Tour,” Sawyer said. “It’s a confidence builder.”

Songhees tighten control of Discovery Island access Campers, tourists damaging islands off Saanich, Oak Bay Laura Lavin News staff
Discovery Island is closed to the public because of a wolf spotted roaming the land, but the Songhees First Nation says it’s not open to the public at any time. About one-third of Discovery Island and all of the Chatham Islands are First Nation reserve land, confirmed Songhees bylaw officer Trevor Absolon. “A lot of people are totally unaware of that.” The islands are not disputed territories, but established reserves that have been home
to the Songhees First Nation for thousands of years, and a place where band members lived until the late 1940s. “You have to forgive people to a degree because there’s not a lot of information out there,” Absolon said. “People and families have been going out there for decades, but now the Songhees are self-governing and have their own land code.” The islands are marked with “no trespassing” signs, but Absolon said that doesn’t stop partiers or tour companies from using the islands. “There’s a high risk to a beautiful, delicate ecosystem. If one fire gets out of control, it will all be lost.” The Songhees Nation is stepping up patrols to demonstrate its jurisdictional control and ownership of the islands. Signage at Cattle Point and
Oak Bay Marina are part of a public awareness campaign. “Because people have been going there for so long we want to give them some warning,” Absolon said. The First Nation will begin patrolling the islands, with the help of RCMP South Island Marine Section, by boat and on foot to combat the increasing amount of garbage that is left on the islands by trespassers. Violators could face up to a $1,000 fine, 30 days in jail, or both if caught trespassing on Songhees land. “Once things are under control we will start some kind of a permit system,” said Absolon. “If people go out there (in the future) they should pick up their garbage and respect the (Songhees) sovereignty. It’s about educating people and awareness.” editor@oakbaynews.com
Slow Jeep gives away drunk driver Two cars spotted driving down the Pat Bay Highway at 30 kilometres below the speed limit led Saanich police to a highly intoxicated driver. Around 3 a.m. on Sunday (July 29), the two vehicles – including a blue 2011 Jeep Liberty – were pulled over in the 4200-block of the highway. The officer found the driver of the Jeep, a 24-yearold Vancouver woman, emitting a strong smell of alcohol, and after administering a roadside breathalyzer, found her to have a blood-alcohol level nearly three times the legal limit. The woman had been at a wedding near Prospect Lake, and declined the organizer's offer of taking a shuttle service home. En route from the wedding she got lost and stopped at a convenience store, where a male customer offered to lead her into town. While travelling along the Pat Bay Highway, in

view of the Saanich officer, the customer, in the lead vehicle, had to continually hit the brakes to let the Jeep catch up. Sgt. Dean Jantzen said the vehicles were averaging 50 to 60 km/h in an 80 km/h zone. "This is someone who was highly, highly intoxicated, and was just a menace to other people on the roadway," he said. The Vancouver woman was charged with impaired driving, and had her licence suspended and her vehicle impounded. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Questions you should ask about travel insurance. The summer sees more people travelling over the border, making the most of the warm weather and school vacation. It’s also the time many discover they’re under-insured when they incur steep unexpected medical expenses in a foreign country. These can, however, be easily avoided by asking a few pertinent questions before you go. Do I need travel insurance for a quick trip across the border? Accidents are just as likely to happen on a day trip as any other day at home or at work. Driving on unknown routes could potentially increase the odds. As always, it’s best to ensure you’re fully covered. Does BC Medical Services Plan cover everything? Provincial health care is unlikely to cover all of your medical expenses incurred out of province, or overseas. In fact, the Canadian government recommends that travellers purchase travel insurance when leaving the country because of the extremely high cost of medical care outside of Canada. My credit card automatically covers that, right? You may not have adequate coverage through your credit card plan. Check to ensure you
TRAVEL INSURANCE WITH
MARCI-LYN BRAITHWAITE have medical coverage, not just travel accident insurance as there is a difference, and that the medical coverage meets your needs. Is my work travel insurance plan adequate for this trip? Many plans offered through employers lack certain options, like trip cancellation or interruption insurance. You can purchase these on their own to complement your company’s travel insurance. Also, some employee plans only cover the employee, so if you are travelling with your family, ask your insurance specialist about a family travel insurance plan, for both medical or trip cancellation/ interruption insurance. Do your research and ask the right questions. Visit a BCAA location and speak with an insurance specialist who will be happy to advise you, or visit bcaa.com/travelinsurance before you go and make the most of your trip.

Arlo Guthrie and the Guthrie Family Reunion are celebrating Woody’s 100th birthday Tuesday, Aug. 7, at the Butchart Gardens.
Catch Woody’s legacy Legendary folk music icon Arlo Guthrie is touring in select cities across North America with three generations of Guthries to celebrate Woody Guthrie’s 100th birthday (July 14, 1912). The Guthrie Family Reunion tour will make its way to a dozen venues and music festivals, including the Butchart Gardens. “Getting the family together and heading out on the road is the perfect way to celebrate my father’s centennial,” said Guthrie. “Only once before did we have the whole family on tour, and we did 80 shows. Instead of doing an entire year of touring and taking the kids out of school, we are focusing on shows right around Woody’s actual birthday. This time of year marks

the climax of the Woody Guthrie centennial celebrations all over the world. I’ll also continue my solo touring in honour of my dad through spring 2013.” The Guthrie family will perform several Woody Guthrie songs as well as various Arlo Guthrie standards and new material written by members of the Guthrie family. “The family’s new songs are a great representation of our heritage. I like the idea of Woody’s legacy being carried forth, not only by performing his songs, but to show how it moves us to write our own songs,” Guthrie said. The Guthrie Family Reunion features Arlo alongside his son Abe, who has contributed keyboards and backing vocals to his father’s live shows since the ‘80s. His daughters Cathy, Annie and Sarah Lee Guthrie, all of who have their own bustling music careers, support by singing songs and accompanying on acoustic guitars. Sarah Lee’s musical partner and husband Johnny Irion will lead songs and lend his stalwart guitar playing. The youngest generation of Guthrie kids will join in the fun on select songs. Arlo Guthrie and the Guthrie Family Reunion celebrating Woody’s 100th birthday is Tuesday, Aug. 7, at 7:30 p.m. at the Butchart Gardens, 800 Benvenuto Ave. in Central Saanich. Tickets are $33 for adults, $17 for youth and $3 for children. For ticket information call 250-652-4422 or go to butchartgardens.com. llavin@vicnews.com

Reader ‘proven its worth’ for Saanich PD Continued from Page A1
To resolve these concerns, Parsons and fellow researchers Bruce Wipond and Kevin McArthur submitted their findings to B.C.’s Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner, which set in motion an investigation into VicPD’s use of the technology. Because the RCMP is outside of provincial jurisdiction, Denham’s investigation is limited in scope to municipal police services. “The investigation will look at general questions like: what kind of information (VicPD) are collecting, how are they using it, is it retained or disclosed to anybody?” said Cara McGregor, spokesperson for the privacy commissioner. Saanich police purchased a plate reader of its own this year and it has been in operation for a couple months. Sgt. Dean Jantzen said the device has “proven its worth” in the time it’s been in operation. “It generates a lot of activity for our traffic safety officers,” he said. Jantzen, though not trained on the machine,
confirmed that “non-hit” data is never used. “As long as you’re not a suspended driver, that your license is in good standing, that you have valid insurance, there’s no reason you’ll ever come into conflict with this device,” Jantzen said. The privacy commissioner’s report is due to be published next month and will be the first privacy review of the technology in Canada. In a statement, VicPD Chief

Const. Jamie Graham said automated licence plate recognition is an “incredibly important application that directly contributes to improved road safety.” VicPD, which began using the program in March 2011, is co-operating with the investigation and has developed internal policies to govern the use of the device, department spokesman Mike Tucker said. –with files from Kyle Slavin and Jeff Nagel

Andrew Russell and Matt Sharpe recently learned what happens when training partners end up racing neck-andneck in the final kilometre of a triathlon. The two Victoria triathletes finished first and second, respectively, at the International Triathlon Union’s Continental Cup race in Magog, Que., on July 21. The final kilometre was a scenario they’d been in many times over the past three years, having linked up dozens of times for training sessions, including many with Olympic team members Simon Whitfield and Kyle Jones. “It was a situation that felt like a session in Beacon Hill Park, just running with your buddy and bringing out the best in each other,� Russell said. But the race mentality is a different world, and even the keen sense of Sharpe, a youngster at 21-years-old, couldn’t Photo by Craig Taylor match the late burst by RusVictoria’s Matt Sharpe, left, and Andrew Russell sell, who finished 16 seconds run together before Russell pulls away to win ahead for the win. the Magog ITU Triathlon Premium Pan American “We could see the turnCup in Quebec on July 21.

SPORTS NEWS IN BRIEF
Top soccer players headed to UVic Some of women’s soccer’s top recruits from B.C. and Alberta have committed to the University of Victoria Vikes women’s soccer program for the 2012-13 season. Striker and midfielder Sarah Douglas,
midfielder Allie Wiebe, striker Sarah Lefebvre, and defenders Nikki Turner, Sam Lee and Erika Groten are expecting to suit up for the Vikes this year. Since 13, Douglas has played competitive soccer in the women’s premier division with Victoria clubs Gordon Head and Gorge. In 2011, Douglas spent the summer as a regular starter with the Prospect Super 20 Highlanders team following her Grade 11 season with 2011 Provincial A Cup winners Glenlyon Norfolk School. Turner and Lee, both Cla-
Don’t let Simon wear you down This week Andrew Russell is in London, training with Simon Whitfield and Kyle Jones as the latter pair prep for their Olympic event on Aug. 7. Russell will move on to an Ironman in Europe later this month. Russell’s partnership with Whitfield dates back to 2007 when Russell arrived in Victoria. By 2009 Russell was regularly alongside Whitfield and Jones. Most recently, the trio is part of a highly elite group under the tutelage of Olympic marathoner turned coach Jon Brown. It’s brought Russell to new heights, finally winning his first ITU this year. “Training alongside (Whitfield), a two-time medalist, has raised my game and I cannot thank him enough for that,� Russell said. “It has shown me what is possible with dedication and honest, hard work. The last three years I’ll cherish for sure.� However, Russell said his group is not for everyone. “The expectations and requirements each day with Simon are fierce and it can often wear on athletes. I learned that I am not Simon and I can’t handle the amount of training he does and the pace he does it in. “You need to self-govern yourself within the program to get the most out of it while not getting run-down. “Brown has been great with this aspect. He reads athletes well and balances my training to suit.� guidance of coach Patrick Kelly and the National Triathlon Centre. He’s also trained with Russell and Whitfield, most recently for a two-month stint in New Zealand earlier this year. “We met up with some more worldclass athletes, and it was huge for my development,� Sharpe said.

Public market at Hudson due to open 2013 Roszan Holmen News staff
A new Victoria downtown public market plans to launch next year in the Hudson building. After signing a deal with Townline to occupy an 18,000-square-foot space in the rehabilitated Hudson, the market aims to launch in the spring of 2013, said Philippe Lucas, chair of the Victoria Downtown Public Market Society, which has about 25 merchants in the group. The society has been looking for a permanent home for many months and has held a temporary market in Market Square in the meantime. It will now put together a five-year management plan for the Hudson building. The new market will have an industrial look, with poured concrete floors, said Lucas, a former Victoria city councillor. It will have 10 to 12 full-time stalls, 15 rotating stands and an outdoor area for tables, during special seasons such as Christmas. Also in the space will be a community kitchen, rentable for cooking classes and vendor demonstrations. The market, Lucas said, “is a great example of the intersection between the shop-local and the eat-local movement.” For those interested in renting a space, email Lucas at philippe@victoriapublicmarket.com. Check out victoriapublicmarket.com for more on the market society. rholmen@vicnews.com

Elderly man pulled from Gorge Waterway The body of a 75-year-old Esquimalt man suffering from dementia was recovered from the Gorge on Saturday. Victoria police responded to a call of a body floating in the Gorge near the Tillicum Narrows, under the Tillicum Road bridge, around 2:30 p.m. The B.C. Coroners Service has identified the man as James Hay. “We still need to determine whether the individual may have fallen and drowned, or whether he suffered from something such as a cardiac event beforehand,” said Matt Brown, Island region coroner. “The challenge is there were no witnesses.” Brown confirmed Hay suffered from dementia, and VicPD spokesman Mike Tucker said it was reported to be Alzheimer's disease. The VicPD marine response unit was used to recover the body and police found nothing immediately suspicious about the man's death. dpalmer@vicnews.com
