Upset residents say ‘enough is enough’ for abortion protests RCMP called after minor incident reveals rising tensions Kyle Wells News staff
Residents of a housing complex in View Royal are becoming increasingly frustrated with weekly abortion vigil just steps from their front doors. At least three residents of the converted motel at the intersection of Island Highway and Helmcken Road said they’re tired of having the protestors out on what feels like their front yard. The protestors are there because of the nearby Vancouver Island Women’s Clinic in View Royal Square, which performs abortions, among other sexual health services. The 40 Days for Life protestors are there with signs to pray and talk to anyone who approaches them every Thursday morning. Every year, the group also holds two 40-days vigils in which protestors march for 12 hours each day. Most of the old motel’s residents have no backdoor and their front door opens directly into their living area. Because the protestors are so close it feels like they’re peering in on the residents’ private lives. “Enough is enough. Any kind of protest, you make your statement and you go away,� resident Janice Roberts said. “There’s no respect for anybody but them.� Hale Harlingten lives in the corner unit, his front door about six metres from where the protestors stand. “I have a small place. They’re in front of it. The whole world’s looking at me and I just want a little bit of peace and quiet to come out here and sit,� Harlingten said. “They’ve been there long enough now that I think every car in the city has gone by the corner and knows their

Hectic afternoon for Colwood firefighters Simultaneous brush fire and car crash tests response abilities Kyle Wells News staff
Charla Huber/News staff
Langford Mayor Stew Young and Sport Assist president Gerry St. Cyr encourage people to attend Sport Assist’s fourth annual charity golf tournament, Aug. 24. The tournament is at Olympic View Golf Club.
Giving all kids a chance to play Langford program helps parents who couldn’t otherwise afford to get their child into sports Charla Huber News staff
Recreation in Langford might be in full swing, but financial reasons still keep some kids from stepping up to bat. “We have affordable housing and we need to make recreation affordable too,” said Mayor Stew Young, helping spread the word about a fundraiser that aims to make sports accessible to all children. Young will be golfing in the fourth annual charity golf tournament raising funds for Sport Assist, a non-profit organization helping Langford youth participate in sports. Sport Assist helps dozens of children by covering registration fees for sports and athletic activities in the municipality. The golf tournament – the major fundraiser for Sport Assist – raised more than $40,000 last year. The importance of getting kids involved in sport hits close to home for Young, who played both soccer and rugby as a kid.
While he has fond memories of playing as a child, Young said the lessons he learned from team sports are still valuable in his daily life as an adult. “When you are on a team you learn how to work with people, you learn adversity and how to overcome it. You think on your feet and learn on the fly,” Young said. “These things will help you for the rest of your life.” As a mayor, Young said the more children are involved in recreation the less crime and graffiti the city has to deal with. “If you have one bad apple in a group of 20 kids, those kids can change that bad apple,” Young said. Langford council has been working to create recreation amenities and paths and trails throughout the city. “We don’t just want people going to work and then going home. We want people out in the community,” Young said. “We are a small town and we believe in recreation for the whole community.” While Langford has been steadily building facilities for all residents to enjoy, Young acknowledges that not all families can afford to put their children in organized sports. That is where Sport Assist comes in. “We want everyone to have a chance to enjoy it and be involved,” Young said. Over the years, the golf tournament has
Play to help ■ The Sport Assist fourth annual charity golf tournament is Aug. 24 at Olympic View Golf Club, 643 Latoria Rd. ■ Shotgun start 1 p.m. ■ Texas scramble format ■ $160 per person includes green fees, golf cart, dinner and silent auction or $75 per person includes dinner and silent auction only ■ For more information, see Sportassist.ca
raised more than $100,000 for Sport Assist. Every year, more and more applications for assistance are submitted. “We try to give everyone a chance to play a sport, if a sport is $150 or $300, we’ll take care of that,” said Gerry St. Cyr, sport assist president. Parents are encouraged to offer to pay as much as they can towards registration and ask Sport Assist for the difference. “Some people may have gone through hard times and they need money for just one season and others may need help for five seasons,” St. Cyr said. charla@goldstreamgazette.com
RCMP investigating two suspicious weekend fires Mobile food vendor burns in Langford Two suspicious fires early Saturday morning kept West Shore RCMP and local firefighters busy. At just after 4 a.m., a call came into 911 reporting a vehicle on fire in the Langford Canadian Tire parking lot on Langford Parkway. Langford Fire Rescue arrived to find fire engulfing a mobile food truck, L’authentique Poutine and Burgers. Firefighters extinguished the blaze but the truck had already sustained an estimated $50,000 in damage. Police say the fire is suspicious. Langford Fire Rescue is investigating the cause of the fire and West Shore RCMP are looking into any criminal wrongdoings.
“(It’s) hard to understand but sad and true,” L’authentique owners posted on the business’s Facebook page. “We already work on a future project as a new food truck, a trailer or a (fixed) restaurant in Langford area.” About an hour-and-a-half later, at 5:30 a.m., West Shore RCMP also attended a fire in Colwood in the 3000 block of Chantel Place. Colwood Fire Rescue put out a utility trailer that had caught on fire. Police couldn’t say the extent of the damage to the trailer. RCMP are investigating whether the two fires are related. Police ask anyone with information to call West Shore RCMP at 250474-2264 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). news@goldstreamgazette.com
It was a busy afternoon for Colwood firefighters last Thursday as they battled a brush fire and attended to a multiple car crash at the same time. Just after 4 p.m. Colwood Fire Department put out a halfacre brush fire at Royal Roads University, off of College Drive, in between the main campus and Belmont Park. Fire chief Russ Cameron said early detection of the fire was critical, as it could easily have spread to nearby forests. Firefighters managed to put the blaze out in just over an hour. Investigators suspect the fire was started by people. A group was seen in the area and firefighters found remnants of a lunch and a lighter near where the fire started. Cameron said carelessness is probably to blame. “Somebody was doing something in that particular area,” Cameron said. “It was probably not malicious.” Soon after the call for the fire, a head-on collision involving four cars occurred on Metchosin Road. Cameron said two people were immediately transported to Victoria General Hospital with non-life threatening injuries, while another had to be cut out of a vehicle by firefighters before being transported to hospital with minor injuries. Metchosin Road was shut down between Lagoon and Terrahue roads for about 40 minutes. In both incidents Colwood Fire Department had support from View Royal Fire Rescue, something that Cameron said highlights the importance of the relationship between the two departments. “Yesterday certainly both departments were operating as if they were one department,” Cameron said. “We had great support from Saanich fire dispatch, ... they were awesome as well. So a few of the changes we made in the last couple of years really paid off, particularly in this instance where we had two major situations at the same time.” kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

849 Orono Ave., Langford. We’re open 7 days a week. Charla Huber/News staff
A new aerator is getting ready to be installed in Langford Lake. The new aerator was installed on Sunday with the assistance of a helicoper, shortly after 9:30 a.m. All of the water in the lake will travel through the new addition every six days.
Langford Lake gets stirred up Charla Huber News staff
First there was the noise of the Kamov helicopter, followed by the sight of Langford Lake’s massive new aerator. Next will be the smell as the 4,627 kilogram device gets to work. On Sunday, the city installed the aerator, which replaces an older, much smaller machine that had regulated oxygen levels in the lake since 1985. A Kamov helicopter was contracted to haul the new aerator, which is capable of processing the
entire lake every six days. For the first few days the areas around the lake may have a slight smell of rotten eggs to them, Langford parks manager Mike Leskiw said. The odour is caused by nutrients and gas in the water being released. While the smaller aerator cleaned the water near the surface of the lake, the new aerator will focus on the water at the bottom of the lake. “The bottom of the lake is where all the nutrients are,” Leskiw said. Divers and scientists will be working on it this week. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Uptown nearly ready Office, retail buildings complete; residential phase remains on hold for now Edward Hill News staff
At Uptown, construction crews are installing finishing touches – plants and trees, the centerpiece mosaic fountain, and faces of the clock tower. Vast, untouched parkades still smell of fresh paint. Town and Country’s four-year transformation from a worn out strip mall to a major shopping hub is quickly rolling toward completion. By the end of the month, businesses, restaurants and retailers will begin setting up shop in Uptown's Phase 2 – some will open for Christmas and others by next spring. The majority of heavy lifting for the $350-million development is effectively finished. In a few weeks, Uptown will open its main boulevard to vehicles and pedestrians, even as retailers transform empty building interiors. Additional vehicle access points from Carey Road and Blanshard Street should also ease traffic congestion that can build at the entrance through Saanich Road. “If traffic can only go halfway in, it won’t flow. That’s the challenge of operating a site while constructing it over top,” said Geoff Nagle, a director of development with Morguard Investments, the owner of Uptown. For Nagle, the public face of Uptown who has spent more than a decade working on the project, shepherding Uptown through a recession, keeping tenants open during construction – Wal-Mart didn’t close once – and achieving a LEED gold standard, are points of pride. “At all projects across the city, (in 2009) the cranes stopped turning for six months. We did not,” he said. “Through the global economic recession, our cranes never stopped.” That kept hundreds of people employed. Over four years about 3,200 tradespeople have worked on the site, about 250 to 300 each day, without a lost-time incident.
School District #62 (Sooke) REGISTRATION INFORMATION AND SCHOOL START/DISMISSAL TIMES SEPTEMBER, 2011 Parents new to the Sooke School District are asked to register their children at their neighbourhood school between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. during the week of August 27 – 31, 2012. The first day of school is Tuesday, September 4. All schools will be in session for one-half day. Classroom vacancies will not be known until after the first day of school so children new to the school may not be placed until September 5 or 6.
But the recession has taken its toll in terms of finding tenants. Phase 1 of Uptown is about 90 per cent leased overall, but about 35 per cent of the office space remains empty. Uptown has found major office tenants for Phase 2 – Western Union is leasing about 12,000 square Kindergarten parents please note: The first regular day for Kindergarten feet, and an orthopedic surgeon is taking 10,000 students will be Wednesday, September 12, with orientation sessions square feet – but only about 30 per cent of office space is spoken for to date. scheduled from September 5 – 11.

Capital Regional District officials should be able to appoint a transit commission and have a say over changes that affect their public service, a review of B.C. Transit operations has recommended. Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom appointed a review panel in March after complaints that the provincially appointed B.C. Transit board was making costly changes without consulting the communities, whose fares and property taxes cover more than half the cost of transit service. “I feel vindicated by the report, as do my colleagues around B.C., I’m sure,” said Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard, indicating that Lekstrom has promised to respond to the recommendations during the Union of B.C. Municipalities conference in September. “It shows that those of us in local government had cause to be upset and concerned.” CEO Manuel Achadinha said B.C. Transit admitted the governance model required modernization and the report provides concrete steps to make that happen. “We’ll operate under the governance structure provided to us by the province,” he said.

Transit Act to allow multi-year operating agreements Joe Stanhope, chair of the Regional District of Nanaimo, raised the alarm in 2011 after B.C. Transit notified local officials of a doubling of management fees, after municipalities had adopted their budgets for the year. The provincial government pays 47 per cent of costs for B.C. Transit service in partnership with 58 local governments. B.C. Transit has a target to double its ridership to 100 million passenger trips by 2018. When he ordered the review, Lekstrom ruled out any increase in the provincial share of funding. On Tuesday (Aug. 14), he declined to comment on specific recommendations until they have been reviewed and discussed by local communities. – with files from Tom Fletcher dpalmer@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW
Time for vigil to move on There is a simple solution to the complicated and controversial conflict affecting a small group of residents in View Royal. It’s time to move on. The weekly anti-abortion protests against a nearby women’s health centre are being held at a strategic location that just happens to be directly in front of a small housing complex on the Island Highway. Residents of the complex say they’re fed up with the vigil, citing the proximity of the protestors and the feeling their personal privacy is compromised. They have a point. Every Thursday, when protestors arrive to hold up their placards advocating for alternatives to abortion, they begin their march mere meters from the living rooms of an old motel converted into housing units. The building doesn’t have a front yard and thus there is essentially no buffer between the homes and the sidewalk. Residents say they’re uncomfortable with the feeling of being watched by people pacing outside their home. Every time these residents leave their home, or when they welcome guests, the issue of abortion rights in this country is forced into their conscience. It’s understandable that such an experience would feel disconcerting. Tensions must become nearly unbearable when the vigil extends to 12 hour shifts for 40 days straight – the next one is planned for next month. Those in charge of the vigil say they chose the spot they did because it’s visible to clients coming and going from a women’s health centre (one that offers many services as well as abortions). But by stubbornly occupying that spot the protestors are imposing their will on a group of people who should be allowed to stay out of the debate if they so choose. Out of simple respect for these citizens, the pro-life vigil needs to find another strategic location – even if it’s just a few blocks away – to exercise its members’ right to free speech.

Readers split over Langford Lake rowing Rowing a good investment on Langford Lake Re. “City of Langford and St. Michaels University proposed rowing facility on Langford Lake,” August 17. “No” to rowing on Langford Lake? Kids, water, sports: what could be wrong with that? I have already heard and seen the naysayers. Sure, Langford Lake is not as large as Elk Lake, but if 1.4 kilometres is enough to get started, why not start a program here? I do believe Langford Lake is safer than “Maybe one Elk Lake. Who can forget day there will be an that awful Olympic medal that night when two rowers had its beginnings on lost their lives Langford Lake” in a squall? – Petra Benbow, The proposed program is Langford resident for kids from five schools, including Belmont and Spencer. Why not share this community resource? Main use will be a couple of hours after school during spring and autumn. There will be no marked lanes impeding anyone. Let’s make some good memories for kids and who knows, maybe one day there will be an Olympic medal that had
its beginnings on Langford Lake. Would that not be neat? Looking forward to watching them train. And yes, I am one of the lucky people who live on the lake. Petra Benbow Langford
Langford Lake has too many users to make room for rowing One hopes that the City of Langford is aware that the numerous real stakeholders in this proposal (for example, those who fish, swim, sail, paddle, and live around the lake, and of course those who enjoy its quiet beauty) are shocked by the apparent arrogance of the City of Langford in allowing this process to go this far. That the City would considered privileging the desires of a private school (moreover, one outside of the district) over those who, in some cases, have been using and enjoying the lake for generations, is nothing short of remarkable. While Langford has done some good things in bringing events and creating venues, the city should not get carried away with its powers. Not everything has to come to Langford. Gregory Blank West Shore
Arguments for View Royal fire hall are illogical and unnecessary for town’s size Re: “View Royal fire hall the right decision for town”, August 8. In his letter, Councillor Screech seems to attack the writer of a letter in the August 1 Gazette for suggesting View Royal council consider alternative ways of providing firefighter services to View Royal residents. He uses the words “reckless” and “illogical.” Could these words be used to describe his and his council’s behaviour? Is it illogical for View Royal council to have their 3, 500 property taxpayers supply and pay for the first firefighter response services to the regional Victoria General Hospital, including supplying and paying for a 100-foot, $1 million ladder fire truck and a proposed new basket truck specifically for use at the Victoria General Hospital? VGH pays no taxes to View Royal. Is it reckless to have the small View Royal Fire Rescue supplying first response firefighter services to the VGH which sits at the border of the 110,000 resident municipality of Saanich with more than 38,000 property taxpayers and a large professional fulltime fire department ready to go 24-7? It seems logical that, for the safety of the VGH patients and staff and for tax relief to View Royal property tax payers, council hand over provision of first response firefighter services to Saanich Fire Department. Without the need to house and maintain the 100-foot ladder truck and the large basket truck, the size and cost of the proposed new fire hall could be greatly reduced. Further reductions could be achieved by the use of the neighbouring CFB Equimalt firefighter training facility instead of building our own expensive firefighter training facility with tower. I request council explore better less costly ways of supplying firefighter services to their property tax payers, and their families, instead of wasting $20,000 to $25,000 of taxpayer’s money on a referendum when 1,300 voters, in councils Alternative Approval Process, voted for council not to proceed with their proposed fire hall safety building. Frank Blundell View Royal
Rowing will be a wonderful addition to community asset I live on Goldstream Avenue overlooking Langford Lake, and have been here since 1988. I think a rowing facility is a wonderful idea. From what I’ve observed first hand over the past 24 years, despite being stocked with game fish (paid for out of fishing licence fees), the lake body itself could not be described as exactly jampacked with fishermen. Fishing on Langford Lake can coexist with rowing. With the community of Langford having made significant investments in lakeside nature preserves and parkland, landscaped swimming beaches and access points, a boat ramp, a trail and boardwalks circling the lake, dedicated parking and a signal-controlled crosswalk, fishing piers, and now spending $250,000 on a new aerator (for which installationg I had a front row seat), a rowing facility would make a logical addition for sharing the community jewel that is Langford Lake. I would also love to see dinghy sailing made available through the recreation facility. For better or for worse, gone are the days when the Langford Lake area was anything resembling a wilderness. So let’s get on with fully utilizing the lake for community recreation. Cynthia Brossard Langford

Windows that lock while partially open a good way to stay cool and safe at home Re. “Mysterious rooftop figure a reminder to lock up,” August 17. Windows should have a lock that holds them partially open. On a typical cheap sliding window that’s another slot in the sill, same as the one for the closed position. (Keeping the window closed won’t help if that lock is not in place. A wooden or metal bar in the sill track can also be used to stop the window from being opened far. I use both the lock and bar.) A trap few people know about is that a typical sliding aluminum window has to be blocked at the tip after the sliding part is inserted into the frame. The ones I’ve seen have metal u-clips that have to be slid into position. Otherwise the window can be removed by lifting, the reverse of how it was installed. I don’t know what “security screen” means, I presume a heavy duty screen that is screwed to the frame from the inside. Keith Sketchley Saanich

Self treatment of tired eyes If your eyes get tired or inflamed occasionally, taking eye drops to make them feel better may actually increase the risk of future problems. Your eyes are very precious and delicate. They should never be treated without the advice of your eye care professional. Valuable time may be lost in detecting vision problems if you decide to treat tired or inflamed eyes yourself. It could be that the eye drops feel soothing or you believe washing out your eyes with a home remedy is all you need to relieve a minor eye problem. True, not all inflamed eyes are a sign of something serious, and perhaps the condition will soon alleviate itself. However, any persistent eye problem, even a minor one, should have professional care, as it could be a symptom of something more serious. You should have your eyes examined regularly, even if you’ve never had a problem in seeing clearly. You should have them examined to ensure they remain healthy and function properly.

WE’LL BE IN VICTORIA, EXCHANGING THE OLD BC HYDRO METER ON YOUR HOME WITH A NEW SMART METER.
Victoria-based businessman David Black eyes facility in Kitimat, Tom Fletcher Black Press
A Victoria businessman is heading up a proposal to build a $13-billion oil refinery in Kitimat. David Black, chairman of Black Press and owner of the Goldstream Gazette, announced Friday he wants to build a worldscale oil refinery at Kitimat, B.C. Black told a news conference in Vancouver Friday he is submitting an environmental assessment application to build a “world-scale� oil refinery on behalf of Kitimat Clean Ltd., a company owned by Black. The application to the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office is expected this fall. The proposed refinery would be big enough to process all the diluted bitumen carried by Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline. Black said he has had extensive discussions with Enbridge and other players in the Canadian oil industry, but none has so far offered to back the project. Black said he will use his own money to finance the proposal through environmental assess-
ment, which he expects to cost several million dollars. After that, he said investors would be needed to complete it, assuming both the refinery and the pipeline receive approval. He has had preliminary meetings with Kitimat and Terrace councils, as well as the Haisla and Kitselas First Nations in the region. The proposed site is a 3,000-hectare Crown industrial property between Terrace and Kitimat. Kitimat Mayor Joanne Monaghan spoke by phone to the news conference, offering encouragement for the proposal. But Black acknowledged he does not yet have formal support from communities or investors. “I see myself as a catalyst to make this happen,� said Black, who first proposed the idea to the province and the industry seven years ago when he was chairman of the B.C. Progress Board. Black is working with Glenn McGinnis, a consulting engineer and former manager of the Ioco oil refinery in Port Moody. “We want it [the Kitimat refin-
File photo
David Black ery] to be the cleanest and greenest upgrading and refining site in the world,� McGinnis said. The refinery would produce 240,000 barrels per day of diesel, 100,000 barrels per day of gasoline and 50,000 barrels per day of kerosene or aviation fuel, refined from heavy oil. Among those attending the news conference was Art Sterritt, executive director of the Coastal First Nations, a group in the Kitimat area that has strongly opposed the pipeline proposal. Sterritt disputed Black’s assertion that a B.C. refinery “solves half of the problem� with exported oil by shipping refined gasoline, jet fuel and diesel in tankers instead

Cougar search comes up empty Sightings in View Royal prompt warning to residents Two cougar sightings late Friday night had West Shore RCMP combing View Royal for a large feline, with no success. Just before 11 p.m., RCMP received a report of a cougar sighting by Atkins Avenue and Six Mile Road near the Galloping Goose Trail. Police went into the area to look for the cougar but couldn’t find it. Later, at about 12:30 a.m., Saturday morning another report came in

from a male driver who said he had hit a cougar near the intersection of Helmcken Road and Trans Canada Highway. Still alive, the cougar was then seen heading towards Fort Victoria RV Park. In January, a cougar was spotted in the woods near View Royal elementary. Conservation officers did not find the cougar in that incident. Police say anyone in the areas where the cougar was spotted to be careful and to report any sighting to either the RCMP or the conservation service at 1-877-952-7277 (RAPP). news@goldstreamgazette.com

WestShore Centre is the school of choice for over 3000 residents. What are you interested in learning? What would you like to change for your future? Come and join our growing Westshore family. WestShore Centre is a thriving part of School District 62, providing academic courses, grade 12 completion and workplace training since 1986.
What Is Distributed Learning? If you haven’t given Distributed Learning a try, then now is the time to explore your potential as a learner! Distributed Learning (DL) allows everyone to have access to their education anywhere and anytime. Through the flexibility of learning outside of the traditional classroom it allows you to learn at a distance from your teacher whether you are working at home, you are attending another school or you are in a mobile phase of your life. At WestShore Centre we offer Distributed Learning courses to students in grades 10 to 12 or for adults who are: returning to upgrade for graduation, improving their academic status for registration at a post secondary school/college, improving their skills for the career they have now or for those wishing to be lifelong learners. It is not always feasible for learners to take time away from work, families or other studies to gain the education they desire. That is why the Distributed Learning model works so well for so many people and why it is now one of the fastest-growing
forms of education in the province of British Columbia. At WestShore we are able to offer you a full range of courses through the DL model. Distributed Learning offers an engaging learning environment with access to our incredible WestShore teaching staff. The majority of our courses are offered on-line in computer-based environments; however, we also have paper-based courses if that suits your learning preference.
The Future is at WestShore We have 5 outstanding teachers, who are teaching the Futures Program at WestShore. The grade 9 cohort is taught by Michelle Bond (teaching all subjects), the grade 10 cohort is shared between Devon StokesBennett (English and Socials) and Dawn Anderson (Math and Sciences) and the grade
11 cohort is shared between Tanya Berg (English and Socials) and Dermott Crofton (Math and Sciences). This program of choice utilizes the newest blend of technology and education available. The students are afforded many hands-on experiences with new and emerging technologies while working to complete their grade curriculum. Students in this program stay as a cohort so that they are able to build strong relationships with each other and create a vibrant learning community. The energetic staff works hard to ensure an excellent blend of the academic, social and emotional growth for each student. The students who emerge from the Futures Program leave with more than excellent experiences from being in a modern learning environment. They also have strong core academic skills, understand their strengths as a learner and are able to work well individually or in a group. This program creates an excellent core platform for their future careers and studies. If this sounds like the program for you, please contact the school and we will provide you with more details about this exciting way to learn.

Alexa Gilker doesn’t like to waste time. The 25-year-old playwright debuts her first stageplay tomorrow (Aug. 23) at the Victoria Fringe Festival, a milestone she’s achieved only three months out of the University of Victoria’s creative writing program. “It’s terrifying,” she said. “But I love this play.” Beautiful Obedient Wife tells the story of a Ukrainian woman who is unknowingly sold as a mail-order bride to a Canadian suitor. It’s a complex reality with examples all over Canada, Gilker said. “Ukraine is where a huge majority of these women are coming from,” she said. “They’re usually struggling in poverty and looking for a way out.” Despite the heavy subject matter, Gilker believes entertainment should be the primary objective of theatre and has rewritten her play as a comedy. She’s also enlisted the help of local folk band, Carousels, to create a genuine feel to the Eastern European backdrop. “I just realized it’s not a black and white issue, and comedy is a good way to deal with that,” she said. Under the guidance of seasoned fringe director Sandi Barrett, the play undergoes ongoing workshop revisions with input from Gilker and her ensemble of actors. “We rewrite the script almost every rehearsal,” Gilker said. “There are a lot of times I realize I’m not actually as funny as I think I am, and there are some things that really work and we amp up even further.” Fringe festivals operate on the principles of being unjuried and giving all of the proceeds to the performers, said Janet Munsil, festival producer.

UVic grad Alexa Gilker’s play Beautiful Obedient Wife, right, debuts at the Victoria Fringe Festival this week. “I think the Fringe has launched a lot of artists,” she said, adding many performers go on to tour at fringe festivals across North America and Europe, usually with successful solo shows. Munsil and her team host 55 local, North American and overseas performers for 11 days of bargain-price entertainment. Five-show passes are available for $55 and single show tickets go for $9 or $11. “We have a curious and educated audience in Victoria that just loves to see new stuff and support local and touring artists,” Munsil said. The fringe offers a variety of performances ranging from comedy and drama to spoken word and musicals.

A Roots Reggae musician, songwriter and poet from St. Lucia‚ Taj Weekes and his band Adowa perform Thursday. Weekes and Adowa bring a social consciousness with a reggae groove, blending in elements of acoustic roots rock and afrofolk. Weekes and Adowa unite a vibrant diversity of sounds with thoughtful, lush arrangements and a finely honed penchant for telling poetic tales of hardship and hope. “I don’t sit down and write socially conscious songs. I write songs about where I place my focus,” Weekes says. “I grew up listening to the power of the music, the lyrical content. That’s what matters to me.” Though long hailed by reggae fans, Weekes defies simple genre formulas. His intuitive, intense songwriting ties together the many threads of his Caribbean heritage and honours his unflagging engagement with the world as a musician, philanthropist and lecturer.

JEFF BISHOP
Charla Huber News staff
Janel Church spends most of her time on two wheels. The seven-year-old from Metchosin has just won a national BMX championship in Langley, B.C. With the points she’s accumulated over the season, she’s sitting in first place in Canada for her age group. She won’t be awarded the title and the coveted No. 1 plate for her bike until the end of the season, when each rider’s points are tallied. But Church has her sights set on the big win. Last year, she placed second nationally, but she said she isn’t going to settle for that again. At the national championships held in Langley, Aug. 6 to 8, Church ■BMX has only placed first in each of been an Olympic her three races. sport for the past Right now Church is two years. working to pick up her speed when she gets out of the gate to help increase her overall times. She is at the top of the expert division for her age group but she also holds her own against riders up to two years older. Every Tuesday, she practises. On Thursdays, she races at the BMX track at West Shore Parks and Recreation. When training with Victoria BMX she is usually racing against boys. “My favourite part is going fast and the hardest part is crashing,� said Church, who has been racing for the past three years. Her mother, Kathleen Church, said watching BMX in the London Olympics shows just how far BMX has made it into mainstream sports. “It’s fresh in people’s minds,� said the proud mother. While this bright seven year old would like to one day compete in the Olympics she would also like to compete in the BMX worlds competition in New Zealand next year. With her standings competing in the worlds is definitely a possibility. Church races with Victoria BMX and is also a rider on the national UFO Team. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Big finish for Layritz Layritz finalists at Junior Softball World Series Travis Paterson News staff
It’s been a gradual climb for Layritz Little League and there’s only one step left to conquer. The team of 13- and 14-year-old girls based out of the Saanich park made it to the final of the Junior Softball Little League World Series on Saturday, only to lose to their Alaskan counterparts 6-2. The tourney was played in Kirkland, Wash., and the final was broadcast on ESPN 2. It was the most successful finish for the three-time Canadian champs in all three of its trips to the world softball World Series. “We didn’t even win a game in our first trip so we’ve come a long way,” said coach Paul Tucker. After bouncing back from losing to the host Kirkland in the opener, Layritz became the “darlings of the tournament,”

Tucker said, by defeating two U.S.A. teams, including Alaska in the round robin. Layritz then upset Puerto Rico, the overall favourite, with a 5-2 win in the semifinal. “As we defeated other teams they became our fans, and the other teams were cheering for us in the finals.” Pitcher Ashley Penney starred in the series, flying in from the Softball Canada U16 Fast Pitch championships in Brantford, Ont., on Tuesday. Penney pitched and lost in the national U16 final, too, as B.C. finished second. In Kirkland, Penney pitched in three games, and struck out 29 batters in 17 innings, while giving up just 16 hits. Equally impressive on the mound was Jenna Saulnier, who struck out 18 batters in 16 innings. Stef Galitzine hit .467 in the tourney batting lead off, scoring four times. “I try to replay it in my mind what else we could have done, but the bats just weren’t quite there (Saturday),” Tucker said. Eleven of the 12 girls will play senior Little League next year. sports@vicnews.com

Royals rustle up staff
Under-16 baseball players off to nats
The Victoria Royals recently completed their coaching staff in time for this week’s draft camp, and the upcoming rookie camp, about to get underway at SaveOn-Foods Memorial Centre. New to the Royals bench is former junior B Peninsula Panthers head coach Geoff Grimwood as an assistant coach to the Royals and head coach to the South Island Royals major midget hockey team. The WHL Royals recently affiliated with the local major midget club, formerly known as the South Island Thunderbirds.
Four players from Victoria are representing Team B.C. at the U16 Bantam Girls Baseball Canadian Championship in Halifax, N.S., Aug. 21 to 28. Mary Harding, Shayla Zeitz, Megan Thomson and Sofi Jansch have travelled to the Lower Mainland every weekend this summer to train with the team and play in tournaments in preparation for this week. Team B.C. is made up of girls from all over the Lower Mainland, the Island and the Okanagan. sports@vicnews.com
Grimwood has made the rounds among the junior ranks as an assistant coach to well respected BCHL bench boss Kent Lewis of the Powell River Kings, and also spent time on the Victoria Cougars bench with Mark Van Helvoirt. Returning for the 2012-13 season are coach Enio Sacilotto; strength, conditioning and skills coach Jeff Compton; and goaltending coach Brady Robinson. The Royals open the preseason in Kamloops on Aug. 30, and host a preseason game Sept. 15. sports@vicnews.com
For pretty much every stroke, pedal and step of the way on Sunday, Andrew Russell’s thoughts were with Andrew Russell one very wins the special perKelowna Apple son. Triathlon. The 30-year-old Victoria resident dedicated his final appearance at the Pushor Mitchell Apple Triathlon to his terminally ill mom, Ann Russell. And he couldn’t have asked for a better result on a scorching Kelowna afternoon as Russell captured the elite Olympic distance race in one hour 56 minutes 21 seconds. Russell moved to Victoria from Revelstoke five years ago and won his first race on the International Triathlon Union circuit in Magog, Que., last month. In that race, he outduelled Saanich’s Matt Sharpe for first place with Sharpe finishing second. This time it was another Victoria athlete, Andrew McCartney, who finished the 1.5 km swim, 40 km bike, and 10 km run in second place, nine seconds back of Russell. Joe Maloy of the U.S.A. was third and Sharpe was fourth. “It’s my seventh year in the elite and to win here as close to home as possible, it’s a really special moment,” said an emotional Russell after the race. “I really did it for my mom; she’s quite sick. And this is the end of my short-course career, so there’s no better way to finish it off.” For the first time in five years, the Apple Triathlon didn’t serve as the Canadian championships, and was therefore without some the biggest names in Canadian triathlon. Simon Whitfield, Kirk Jones and Paula Findlay didn’t compete in Kelowna. Still, it didn’t take any of the sheen off of the victory UVic Vikes track and field athlete Ellen Pennock’s win in the women’s elite race on Sunday. The 19-year-old won the Apple title convincingly in her first race at the elite level. sports@vicnews.com

First Nation’s focus turns to restoring its islands Songhees First Nation is protecting land on Chatham, Discovery islands Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
C
hristmas Day 1985 is seared on one Oak Bay man’s mind. That day, Phil Teece doused a fire on Chatham Island. “People don’t realize the islands are tinder dry, even in the wet season,” he said. The avid sailor has put out flames on the Songhees lands – Chatham and a large portion of Discovery islands – for more than 50 years. Teece, James Mantle and Andrew Manning, who was not at the ceremony, were recognized recently for their work on the private property that is subject to rampant trespassing. Mantle enjoyed visits to the island until garbage, floating in from the sea and left by boaters,
got to him. He started to clean the beaches of seaborne debris and the trash left by people, slowly reclaiming and rebuilding the ecosystem as it returned to its natural state. “That, for me, is the reward, to watch it all grow back,” he said. “It’s a mystic, mystic place.” Joan Morris is among those preserving the heritage and plant life, working with the University of Victoria to study the ecology of the islands. She lived her first 10 years on Chatham, and knows the traditional plants of the land well. “She is very connected to the island. She was born out there, raised out there, and is doing a lot of work – over the last year and a half – to do some restoration work with UVic and Nancy Turner and some of her students looking at the ecosystem, the invasive species, to bring species at risk back to life,” said Songhees Coun. Ron Sam. Last year she made many trips to the island – known as Tl’ches in Lekwungen – bringing a masters student to the land that she
left in 1957. UVic student Thiago Gomes, of Brazil, worked with Morris last summer to complete his thesis addressing problems and challenges of the restoration of the “cultural keystone place.” “Tl’ches is such a special place. It is like a history book in a landscape and seascape, a place where people have lived healthy and happy lives and sustained themselves for countless generations,” said Turner, a worldrenown biologist, ethnobotonist and Gomes’ UVic professor. The islands support edible, medicinal and otherwise useful plants that are a part of the rich cultural heri-

tage of the islands. “It also carries the imprint of more recent life ways, with the heritage fruit trees and other plants of more recent times, adopted into the food ways of the Songhees families who lived there,” Turner said. “The area is vulnerable in many ways to the impacts of invasive species, climate change, erosion and pollution.” Over recent decades, since the Songhees families moved away after the well went dry in 1957, portions of the islands have deteriorated and some common species have disappeared, Turner said.
“It will take a continued and focused effort to restore and renew the vitality of the landscape. … In a sense, Tl’ches is a reflection of what a good part of Oak Bay and the Greater Victoria region was like before urbanization,” she said. Newly instated patrols are aimed at combating the increasing amount of garbage left on the islands by trespassers, which recently included a wheelchair. Songhees bylaw enforcement, equipped with a new zodiac, along with RCMP, will also increase patrols on and around the islands. cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

Protestors prompt privacy complaints Continued from Page A1
As Berns took a walk, which he said he often does to ease back pain, he went around the corner down the Island Highway where he said Roberts approached him. She said she asked him to leave and stood her ground. They bumped each other – both claim the other person was at fault. Neither was injured. However, Berns called the police, believing the altercation to be a form of harassment. RCMP spokesperson Sgt. Max
Fossum said it’s unlikely police will recommend charges. “It’s one word against the other word really,” Fossum said. Fossum said the protestors have a right to be there unless View Royal says otherwise. There have been some minor incidents in the past involving the protest, but nothing major, Fossum added. View Royal chief administrative officer Kim Anema said there is little the town can do to remove the vigil unless they are disrupting traffic or causing a safety hazard.
Even with complaints from residents, the protestors have a protected right to protest so long as they stick to the rules. Anema said he understands the concerns surrounding the vigil and View Royal will continue to monitor the situation. Berns said his group is there to protest abortions and to talk to people about the dangers of postabortive trauma and depression. The protestors say they have been subjected to harassment in the past. One morning they arrived at their usual spot to find a pumpkin
with a coat hanger stuck in it. Another morning a coat hangar had been hung from a signpost behind where they stand. Recently they have arrived to find eggs smashed on the ground and ketchup spread around. The residents of the housing complex said they know nothing about those incidents. They plan to send a complaint in writing to View Royal council. Vancouver Island Women’s Clinic did not wish to comment. The next 40-day vigil starts Sept. 26. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

The light of the day A
s the sun sets across this vast country, we are among the last Canadians to enjoy what literally are the remains of the day.
On Tuesday, July 17, as the last light faded over the Pacific Ocean, Goldstream News Gazette photojournalists were wrapping up an assignment in which we recorded moments in the lives of the people who make up the diverse communities of the West Shore. From dawn to dusk, we spread out across Colwood, Langford, Metchosin, Highlands and View Royal capturing images of people at work, play and home. At the end of this year’s edition of Day in the Life of the West Shore, you’ll see this truly is a place where people live life to the fullest. But first, of course, we must start with the beginning. After the sun has risen and we begin the routines that make up our day. —Jim Zeeben, editor
