Resort plan meets friction Group dismayed over design changes to remove nine golf holes Kyle Wells News staff

Bear Mountain Holdings plan to remove nine holes of golf to make way for lowdensity housing is meeting some resistance from residents, but the company maintains it’s the only viable choice for the Langford community. In November 2012 executives of the resort and residential community unveiled plans to turn 36-holes of golf to 27 to accommodate a new development plan moving away from a 2006 apartment-heavy design. In response, more than 300 residents of Bear Mountain have come together to form the Bear Mountain Community Association, which is opposed to the plan and spearheading a campaign to stop a rezoning application with the City of Langford.

Langford man not guilty in sex assault Kyle Wells News staff

James Derek French has been found not guilty of charges of sexual assault and sexual interference of a minor. Judge Susan Wishart explained her decision in Western Communities Courthouse on Thursday, Jan. 31.

Outside the courthouse, French expressed relief that it was over and that his name has been cleared. He said the trial has affected his ability to get work. “It’s been a tough go for me having to live like that. I didn’t do anything,” French said. “I made some poor decisions, yes, of course,” he said, but maintained he had done nothing crimi-

nal. In what amounted to a case of one word against the other, Wishart found that the complainant’s version of the events could not be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. A 14-year-old girl, who can’t be identified due to a publication ban, accused French of trying to take advantage of her while she

was passed out drunk in his bed in his Langford home. She had spent the evening at French’s house in the company of his son and other friends. French had provided the teenagers with beer. When the girl became ill he offered up his bed for her to sleep in, volunteering to sleep on the couch. French agreed that he had kissed her cheek and at one point

laid beside her, but denied any sexual intentions. He said he treated her no differently than he would his own daughter. He also denied the girl’s accusation that French had tried to remove her shorts, had touched her thigh and at one point undid his own belt. PLEASE SEE: Alcohol a factor, Page A10

Rugby hits the West Shore Velox hosts drop-in Friday afternoons Kyle Wells News staff

As the winter sun sets on Goudy Field in Langford a ragtag group of teens is learning the basics of rugby from one of the top players Canada has ever produced. Winston Stanley, former national player and current record holder for most tries, runs the group through basic plays and chipping for a non-contact game. The players look cold, but they also look like they’re having fun. Rugby continues to grow on the West Shore with the introduction of drop-in games on Fridays at Goudy Field.

Velox Vahallians Rugby Football Club ran an under-17 team out of Westhills Stadium last fall and plan to do the same again this year. In the meantime, players are invited to come out from 4 to 5:30 p.m. on Fridays for training and casual games. The Friday drop-ins are giving new players of all ages, and in particular those aged 13 to 18, a chance to come and learn some basic skills and have some fun. “We’ll do a few skill drills and then we’ll play some games, and just try to keep it fun and entertaining,” said Winston Stanley, who is running the program. “Just trying to generate some rugby excitement and buzz and give them a place to train and somewhere to go.” Stanley said Velox is looking at a long-term plan to move all of its operations to the West Shore, to take advantage of a growing population and of the presence of the headquarters for Rugby

Canada. Velox is tied in with its current location on Gordon Head Rd. until 2015. “As far as a long-term plan, we’re trying to set some roots down in the West Shore communities,” Stanley said. “So that there’s a club out there for kids to play at. Right now there’s not.” About 13 regular players came out for the fall team. The team didn’t win a game, but did manage to field enough players for all games and Stanley said they did well for a new team. “It was pretty positive, I think the kids had a good time,” Stanley said. “They’re young enough that they can stay together for a year or two, hopefully.” Anyone interested in taking part can register in person at a Friday session. Registration costs $60 to $75 for the season, to cover costs. Visit langfordrugby.com for details. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

RCMP bait car snags suspect Kyle Wells News staff

A West Shore thief targeting vehicles faces charges after he took the RCMP’s bait. A spike in break-ins to cars on the West Shore prompted the RCMP to put out a bait car to see what it could catch. A bait car is a vehicle wired to record sound and video, to catch a criminal in the act. West Shore RCMP put the bait car in an area of Langford known for a high rate of

thefts from vehicles. On Sunday, Jan. 20 RCMP were alerted there had been a theft from the bait car. A man stole items from the car while on video the entire time. Byron Forbes, 46, of Langford, faces three counts of theft under $5,000 and will remain in custody until his next court appearance tomorrow (Feb. 7). Forbes is also facing charges from two unrelated shoplifting cases. West Shore RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz

said it’s hard to know whether all of the other thefts are related, but that Forbes is known to police. Thefts from vehicles have risen 250 per cent for this December and January, as opposed to the same time period the year before. In the past two months there have been 119 thefts from cars reported on the West Shore. Rochlitz said there are a number of strategies the RCMP have in place to prevent these thefts, but added

the best strategy is prevention. “We all have to work together on it, so we need the public co-operation to lock the vehicles, take all of those valuables away and reduce the temptations,” Rochlitz said. “It’s one of those things that when criminals recognize an opportunity, and the public’s not changing their behaviours, these things are going to continue to happen.” kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Bear Mountain Community Association spokesperson Reneé Olson and unofficial leader Brad MacLaren believe that Bear Mountain Holdings new plan for development is not in the best interests of the resort community.

Clash over Bear Mountain plan change will be really positive for the residents up here.” “We really believe that this proposed plan does a number of good things for Bear Mountain,” Cowan said. “It aligns the development with the market trends we’re faced with today, it’s going to enhance the lifestyle elements of the whole community and it’s going to provide certainty for everyone going forward, including existing homeowners.” Langford councillor and planning and zoning committee chair Denise Blackwell said the city has received about 100 letters in opposition to the rezoning application. The matter is currently in staff’s hands, as they assess the application and work on a report that will later go to committee. There is no word yet on when that will happen. Blackwell said she has no opinion on the matter yet, but if the plan involves losing green space she said council will likely reject the rezoning. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

The association objects to the removal of the golf holes, as well as the lowidensity housingfocused plan now put forward. “We absolutely object to the proposal that Bear Mountain Land Holdings just put forth,” said Reneé Olson, spokesperson for the association. “We’re concerned about the hundreds of millions of dollars that we have as homeowners up here, that it’s going to be a negative effect on our asset.” The association’s unofficial leader, real estate agent Brad MacLaren, said he believes poor sales in the community is a matter of inadequate marketing, rather than a bad plan. He disagrees that a high-density focused development can’t succeed. “That’s a load of hogwash,” MacLaren said. “They’re just not looking at the bigger picture. What we need is a developer, someone who is going to be here long term, who is going to see the value of this community and build it accordingly.” The group has gone door-todoor petitioning residents to drum up support. Through letter writing, petitioning and participation in the eventual public hearing, the association hopes to convince Langford council to reject the rezoning application. For their part, executives of Bear Mountain maintain that

the new plan is the best way forward. CEO Gary Cowan said it is stalled development that is putting property values at risk and that the new design is the right move. “We feel very strongly that this sets up Bear Mountain for long-term success and will lift the cloud that is hovering over Bear Mountain and has been since 2010,” Cowan said. With sales stalled, half-finished infrastructure and a commercial village lacking tenants, executives believe a change in approach is the answer. The plan still incorporates apartments, but in more low-rise buildings, and with more of an emphasis on low density, single family dwellings. New public spaces would be introduced, including an eightkilometre looped trail, to make up for the loss of the golf holes. About half the land freed up from taking out the golf holes would be used for park areas. CitySpaces Consulting Ltd. planner Gwyn Symmons expressed that this will add value to the community, which he said is currently lacking in public green space. “Nobody likes to take out golf courses … It’s not something we do lightly. But it’s not a black and white issue here, there’s actually some good reasons why we’re doing this,” Symmons said. “I think there’s anxiety about change … what we’re trying to communicate is we think this

Closures stun employees

tanding in the rain holding a severance package in an envelope, Lyle Sayers heads to his car in disbelief. The Langford father of three is left without a job after the Best Buy at Westshore Town Centre shut its doors, last Thursday. He was the multi-media senior staffer at the West Shore location, one of Charla Huber three stores on the Island Reporting that abruptly closed. “I didn’t even get a phone call, I was supposed to work from 2 to 10 p.m.,” said Sayers. “I think it’s really sad, I have a mortgage, but it’s the benefits that are really freaking me out. It’s a bit of a panic.” A handful of employees

stood outside the store where the doors were monitored by two security guards. Sayers said a Best Buy human resource worker was inside handing out severance packages and a councillor was there if anyone needed to talk about the situation. Bruce Copp stood with a few former co-workers talking about their disappointment and how they heard the news. The Best Buy in Langford employed between 80 and 90 people, Copp said. “This is kinda crappy from a corporate standpoint,” said the father of two who has worked at the store for more than two years. Copp ran the Geek Squad at the store and is hoping he’ll be able to find work in the same field somewhere else. “I found this out from social media, it would have been nice to have some notice,” Copp said. As the news began to sink in

for the newly-unemployed the group slowly began to disband with “nice working with you.” Nationwide, the company closed eight Future Shop and seven Best Buys stores on Jan. 31. Over the next three years the company plans to launch Future Shop Small-Concept web stores and new Best Buy Mobile locations across Canada. “The move was based on an extensive review of Best Buy’s retail footprint in Canada in an effort to reduce unnecessary costs..., “ stated a Best Buy press release. The Gazette was unable to contact the Best Buy communications officer Danielle Jang, despite phone calls and email requests. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW

Organic waste recycling smart This week marks the beginning of full-time kitchen scraps diversion for residents in the City of Victoria, home to about 24 per cent of the population in the Capital Region. While many in the city are excited they now have an easy, relatively inexpensive way to divert compostable materials from their trash, the rest of Greater Victoria should be watching closely and preparing for the day when everyone has to take such actions. The Capital Regional District has mandated that all organic waste must be diverted from the Hartland landfill by January 2015. That gives Greater Victoria municipalities a fair bit of time to put together a program for collecting and disposing of kitchen waste. While residents in some of the region’s smaller jurisdictions – many of which are rural – may argue that the cost of such a program is yet another punitive tax, especially since many already dispose of their own organic matter, a regional rule needs to be put in place to steer all municipalities in the right direction. Not so long ago, people bristled at the idea of having to separate cardboard and paper waste from the rest of the garbage, and later, plastics. Now, the idea of doing so is second nature, a fact of life that is also helping keep our landfill from overflowing as quickly as it otherwise might. The culture of recycling is prominent in this province and definitely in the Capital Region. Given that scenario, most of us grimace when we hear that residents in other provinces either don’t bother recycling anything, or are just starting to wake up to the environmental benefits of doing so. It feels good to know that we are leading the way in this country in terms of creating a more sustainable environment for future generations. While the Hartland landfill will likely be full midway through this century, taking actions now to extend its lifespan will become a valuable legacy to leave our children and grandchildren. This is a case where it’s the right thing to do and a sign of the evolution of our waste cycle. What do you think? Give us your comments by email: editor@goldstreamgazette.com or fax 250-478-6545.

Well, turnout for the 2009 election fell to around 50 per cent, a record low for a provincial vote. If that downward trend is reversed this year, it will be in large part because people are still mad enough about the harmonized sales tax and a range of other issues to get off the couch and kick some B.C. Liberal butt. Electing senators remains a popular notion, especially with older, conservative-minded voters in B.C. who identified with the Reform Party. The first-ever senate election looks like the best available shot at boosting turnout among people who are not likely to vote NDP, and who may also be disengaged from provincial politics. And then there is the provincial sales tax bill. Another kick in the slats for the movie business, for one, and don’t hold your breath for NDP leader Adrian Dix to produce a solution in the wake of his recent trip to Tinsel Town. The performance of the governing party and the opposition will be scrutinized as never before.

LETTERS Better movie choices needed for West Shore Cineplex Entertainment theatres seem to have a very low opinion of the cultural level of those of us who live on the West Shore. In 2010 The King’s Speech only opened at the Cineplex Odeon Victoria, and did not grace a larger screen at Tillicum until there were long lines down the block, and patrons turned away. Last year, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel did not open in a large screen theatre, including Cineplex Odeon Westshore Cinemas. Now Quartet is only being shown on a small screen at the Odeon downtown. These were the three best recent films for mature audiences. If you haven’t seen these three films, I urge you to do so, the first two on video, and the last on screen. For those of us who prefer not to drive downtown at night, find parking or have a large head between us and the screen, films like this would be welcomed on the West Shore. This low opinion of West Shore residents makes it difficult to see better films in a cinema. J. McRee Metchosin

Speed enforecement needed, not lower limits

Don Descoteau/News staff

Calm waters A tree is reflected in the serene winter waters of Langford Lake in late afternoon.

John Horgan

Re: Victoria revs speed debate (News, Jan. 25). I write this letter to you as I am appalled at the idea of large expenditures for signage to decrease speed limits on residential streets. I am a resident of Langford who is very often a pedestrian by choice. I live in a neighbourhood where I can walk my children to school, pick up groceries and do many other day to day chores. As far as I see it, the speed limit is not the problem, enforcement is. As I walk through two school zones which are both posted 30 km/h zones, I must plan my route accordingly so that I do not get hit by a car from drivers being in a hurry. On the “safest” route we must walk past a very well posted intersection where my children have almost been run over numerous times. The main intersection where we do have a crossing guard, thank goodness, is the absolute worst. It is a posted school zone of 30 km/h

and very few follow the signage rules. Changing the speed limits will not help, someone must enforce the safety of our cyclists and pedestrians. Any monies allotted for this should be put into enforcing safety, not the expense of signage for changes and rules that very few will follow. Tara Sheldrake Langford

Electric vehicles in B.C. not truly green Re: Uptown slated for city’s first high-speed car charger (goldstreamgazette.com). More crazy news about electric cars. First, drivers use our tax money to subsidize the purchase. Now municipalities want to build charging stations. All very well if the cars were indeed green, but here in B.C. they are not. Experts are pointing out that because all our green sources are already spoken for, and our last watt comes from fuel burning power plants, the cars represent new load, and therefore will be supplied fully by fuelled power plants, and therefore have a “very long tailpipe” to those plants. Worse yet, B.C. Hydro is raising our rates dramatically the next few years to pay for new, more expensive sources of power to supply a growing demand. Therefore, anything that increases demand is a factor in raising rates for all of us. So, they are spending tax dollars to encourage increased electricity consumption that will, in turn, drive up our rates. It makes much more ecological sense to burn natural gas in cars rather than in the power plants. Also makes more sense to burn it in our cars rather than using a lot of energy to liquify our surplus for China.

Tom Fletcher Auditor General John Doyle lost his bid for detailed defence lawyer billings in the case of two ministerial assistants convicted for their role in the 2002 B.C. Rail sale. B.C. Supreme Court Chief Justice Robert Bauman found Doyle was seeking a “sweeping invasion of solicitor-client privilege” and dismissed his petition to see the documents. Doyle went to court in an effort to complete his review of the BC Rail sale, in which Dave Basi and Bobby Virk pleaded guilty to breach of trust and accepting a benefit for

their role in bidding for BC Rail assets. The B.C. government's decision to abandon efforts to recover $6 million in legal fees for the pair sparked a political battle. Bauman states in his ruling that current B.C. legislation does not give the Auditor General access to privileged materials such as lawyer bills, and his assurance that they would not be widely shared makes no difference. Bauman also found that the government's voluntary disclosure of privileged cabinet documents in the case is not relevant to the confidentiality of lawyer bills. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

“Clearly how Mr. French conducted himself that evening was wrong, from a parenting perspective,” Wishart said. “But I’m not satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that there was any sexual aspect with respect to that conduct.” Wishart said a major factor in all the testimony she heard was alcohol. The girl agreed that she drank about nine beers over the course of the night, and was throwing up drunk before she was put to bed. French himself consumed about 10 beers, but said that was not unusual for him. While the judge acknowledged the girl believed what she told the court, Wishart said it was entirely possible alcohol affected the teen’s memory and she may have confused the facts. While giving her testimony, the girl herself agreed to a possible memory lapse. French’s son, who had previously made advances on the girl, said he went into the room multiple times to check on her and at one point rubbed her back. The son told police that the next day and did not have time to make up a story with his father, said Wishart. For this reason Wishart determined what he said to be the truth and said it was possible the girl mistook one person for the other. Taking into account the context of the entire night, the testimony of the witnesses and the credibility of those testimonies, Wishart arrived at her decision of not guilty. kwells@goldstream gazette.com

Vision Matters Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

Make the most Dr. Cameron McCrodan, Dr. Brent Morrison, Dr. Ann-Marie Stewart and Dr. Chris Snow

Legal blindness Vision is one of our most valuable assets. Most people take their sight for granted and yet almost everything we do in life depends on it. Maintaining eye health and vision is an important part of our health care system. Having regular eye exams by a doctor of optometry can ensure that not only is your vision functioning properly, but also, that your eyes are healthy. Many health problems can be detected through the eyes. For example, diabetic patients should have yearly eye exams to rule out damage to the back of the eyes, because loss of vision can result if left untreated. During the eye exam, the optometrist will determine if corrective lenses would signiﬁcantly improve your vision. Often people, who have never had an eye exam, do not realize what they are missing. This is particularly true of children. The optometrist can put all doubts aside, and if corrective lenses are required, a prescription will be provided to meet your speciﬁc vision requirements. A visit to the optometrist will ensure your vision and eye health remain at their best.

Explore together ■ There is no better province to explore than southern Vancouver Island and no better family bonding experience than sharing the thrill of a new discovery or experience. Day trips can create remarkable family memories, offering a wonderful way to spend time together and learn more about where you live. The variety of experiences available to families is different in each area of this spectacular region – you might decide to explore close to home or venture to one of the neighbouring communities over the Family Day weekend. To maximize the experience, families should involve everyone in the planning. By planning ahead the whole family can experience a worthwhile outing and make every aspect fun. Create a list of activities or venues and assign a rough budget for each. Allow family members to weigh in on their preferences and discuss what they would like to see, do or learn at each. You might decide to stay in a hotel and be a tourist in your own hometown. Kids or youth can map out the sites and

activities, creating a family agenda including selecting the points of interest, lunch and shopping as well as enjoying the amenities your hotel might offer. It’s the perfect way to free up everyone from everyday tasks and roles. Researching history, attractions, museums, parks and markets can teach valuable lessons and it helps children to plan within a budget. This way they are part of making important decisions, appreciate both the effort and cost of outings and will be more enthused about an agenda they helped develop. Be sure to capture your family time by taking photos, saving literature or purchasing a memento. This can lead to great family discussions about what each individual enjoyed or learned and starts you planning for future family explorations.

Share together ■ Bringing together your extended family can create a highly memorable and valuable life event. They say “it takes a village to raise a child” and many would agree especially in today’s world of working parents and latchkey kids. The support, experience and interest of your extended family can have a significant impact on your immediate family. Regardless of your definition of ‘extended’ family, bringing together those with whom you share history can have lasting benefits not just for you and your children but for those you invite to share your day. It is common in today’s world to have older children in nuclear families reach their teens before meeting extended family members. Geographical isolation is common for middle-class families who move based on occupational opportunities while family branches retain their independence. Family Day is the ideal occasion to hold family reunions to re-establish and integrate a stronger family connection. This allows your children to connect with extended family members and to share a better sense of their heritage and belonging. Don’t forget to include senior members of your family. Family reunions and relationships inspire seniors to stay active and pursue their well-being. Studies have found seniors feel revitalized when they spend time with families. Your children will benefit from hearing their oral history and that’s an inspiring experience that won’t always be available to them. Another way to celebrate Family Day is to gather your extended family and friends around an activity you care about. It might be a shore clean-up, a family walk or a garage sale. You might volunteer at a foodbank. Food is often central to gatherings and with everyone contributing to a family meal afterwards, it becomes a great way to share B.C.’s first Family Day.

FAMILY DAY 2013

Experience as a Family ■ Try something new this Family Day. It might be as simple as agreeing that everyone observe a no-technology or TV day. If you ﬁnd your gatherings often involve all the adults sitting around visiting while the youngsters play among themselves and the teens segregate away from both you and the little ones, you’re probably not alone. A family gathering can be a wonderful opportunity for family to hear the latest on jobs, trips, hobbies and health, but if you ﬁnd your gatherings following the same tedious patterns, this is the year to change it up. Consider adding new experiences to the plans, and making a new and fun tradition out of them. Here are some ideas to get started: Get out and enjoy our beautiful outdoors – no matter what your weather. Take advantage of the region’s mild winters to explore local parks and beaches. Plan a bike ride, a hike a trip to the golf course or even an ice skating trip rip to the a community rink. The idea is to bring everyone together in a family activity you’ve never done before. Plan a meal away from the e house – Instead of cooking for the gathering, thering, plan a formal brunch or dinnerr at a new restaurant. Not only do you experience perience a new menu together but everyone yone in your group can sit together and enjoy the meal. B.C. has a widely ely diverse cultural make-up and

ethnic restaurants are part of that. Make your Family Day gathering a retreat for all – consider getting your family out of the house and turn your gathering into a festive retreat. Many venues have activities for all ages to enjoy, from winter outdoor fun to refreshing spa services. Host a family talent show – everyone has a special talent in your family, so encourage them to bring their talent to your gathering. If you’re really ambitious, set up an area to be used as a stage and arrange chairs for audience members. Play with lighting and lamps so the performance area is in the spotlight. You might rent a popcorn machine or ask family to bring treats and snacks. By bringing new activities to your family gathering, you’ll be creating new memories to share in the future, and making the event much more enjoyable.

■ There is nothing like the fun and innocence of childhood. Whether it’s a game of kick-the-can with the neighbourhood children or building a tree fort in the backyard, some of our best memories are playful. Board games are a great indoor activity, and Family Day is a great time to dig out some of your old favourites like Monopoly and Clue, and maybe try out a few new ones. Or, set up a card table, get your favourite puzzle and spend hours putting it together. If you’re looking for something a bit more high-tech, your game console or computer is a good place to start. Video games have come a long way from the classic Super Mario and Donkey Kong, and you may discover that your kids

have a much larger technical knowledge than you do. They might beat you at Wii Sports but it will make for a great story! Getting outside for a game of tag or basketball will check off two things on your list: play and exercise. Taking a trip to a local playground or ﬁeld will give you hours of entertainment for a low cost. Pack a picnic as well for an entire day of fun. Practicing your batting or pitching will also get you ready for the coming sports seasons, or maybe compete to see who can run the fastest to the swings. This year, Family Day is a time to make memories, spend time together and maybe learn a thing or two. Whatever the weather is like outside, you have plenty of options for having fun at all ages.

Cook together ■ If you ask any adult about some of their favourite memories of childhood, you’ll invariably hear something related to food. Whether it’s baking with grandma or grilling hamburgers for a cookout with dad, cooking is always an important part of growing up. Family Day is a great time to dig out those family cookbooks and try a recipe handed down from the older generation. Your mom’s famous meatloaf or your uncle’s recipe for spinach dip are great things to try with family members of all ages. Maybe you’re looking to make something you’ve never made before, or perhaps try out a new cuisine. Hitting the library or the web will give you ideas for new recipes, whether it’s trying to duplicate your favourite takeout pizza or make an authentic spicy Indian dish. Let each family member choose a recipe that they Continued page 16

PACIFIC FIREPLACE WOULD LIKE TO WISH YOU ALL A

WARM & KOZY FAMILY DAY!

Learn together â– Having a day off from school doesnâ€™t mean learning stops for the day. There are plenty of educational things you can do in British Columbia, whether in your own home or outside. How about starting with a trip to your local library? Maybe a book of science experiments or a historical novel set in the early days of Canada will spark your imagination. Let the kids each pick out a book to take home with them and start a lifetime love of reading. Your local bookstore will also hold a variety of options if your child canâ€™t bear to part with his or her new favourite book. A local historical attraction is also a great place to pay a visit. Whether itâ€™s Chinatown, Fort Rodd Hill or Heritage Acres, Islanders enjoy a ton of history right in our own backyard. Explore a local museum or heritage building as a jumping-off point for learning more about the community where you live. Learning can be more than just reading though. Pull out the laptop and get your kids to type out an email to a family member or friend outside of B.C. Perhaps they can even tell the person about what they learned at the museum or library! Keeping a journal is also a great way to practice writing and literacy skills. Even if itâ€™s not a daily occurrence, sitting down in the evening to write about the events of the day or week can get kids thinking and practicing their handwriting.

THE ARTS SWINGINâ€™ LIKE A GYPSY Shakespeare in Love: Scenes of Love

1930s Paris comes to Victoria with Django Festival Kyle Wells News staff

Mark Brennan photo

Vancouverâ€™s Van Django will be among the acts playing at the second annual Django Festival, a celebration of the music of Django Reinhardt.

Are you ready to party like itâ€™s 1934? Thatâ€™s the year Django Reinhardt formed his Quintette du Hot Club de France and started to make his permanent mark in the world of jazz. On Friday, Feb. 15 the spirit of Django will once again come alive as the White Eagle Hall (90 Dock St.) in James Bay is transformed into a 1930s Paris cabaret for Victoriaâ€™s second annual Django Festival. â€œThe cabarets of the â€˜30s in Paris were legendary for a reason,â€? said Oliver Swain, renowned local musician and one of the organizers of the event. â€œWeâ€™re sort of recreating that.â€? Django Reinhardt was a jazz guitarist, best known for his music stemming from French gypsy culture and for composing such standards as Minor Swing, Swing â€˜42

and Djangology. Respected in his own time, Reinhardt is now considered one of the greatest guitar players of all time, and legions of modern day musicians honour him through his style and his songs. â€œI feel like thereâ€™s a massive revival in acoustic swing going on across North America and one of the hot spots is right here in Victoria,â€? Swain said. Django Festival will feature some of the premier Djangologists in the region, including Reuben Weir, Gypsy Jazz Explorations with Chris Sartisohn, Vancouverâ€™s premier Django band Van Django and all-star band Montage, comprised of Swain, Paul Dowd, Adam Dobres and featuring special guest Daniel Lapp. â€œWeâ€™re really looking forward to it,â€? said Cameron Wilson, violin player with Van Django. Van Django has been playing together for about 14 years and include in their repertoire Django standards, along with Django-inspired takes on everything from Beatles songs to 1950s TV theme songs. â€œI think itâ€™s just honest,â€? said Wil-

son on the joys of the music. â€œItâ€™s just really energetic and thereâ€™s a bounce to it. I donâ€™t know how to explain it. Thereâ€™s an elegance but at the same time thereâ€™s a power to it.â€? Last yearâ€™s event, held at Upstairs Cabaret, was a huge success that sold out early and featured some hot jazz. â€œThe dance floor was cooking, the bands were cooking, so we thought this is a great event,â€? Swain said. â€œYou donâ€™t need to be just a lover of the music of Django Reinhardt to enjoy this stuff.â€? With a venue change this year, the event is being expanded. A chandelier-lit main floor will feature a stage, a large dancing area and cafĂŠ-style seating. Downstairs the musicians will be getting down to business with a improvisation-heavy jam session. Downstairs will also feature an Unsworth Vineyards wine bar and The Whole Beast food. Upstairs beer from Hoyne brewery will be flowing and food from Pizzeria Prima Strada will be available. Tickets are $22 advance and are available at Larsen Music, Lyleâ€™s Place and Ditch Records. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Human remains to be buried CHINA TOUR PRESENTATION at memorial on Dallas Road Join us to learn more about Sears Travel’s 2013 Escorted China Tour!

Daniel Palmer News staff

Human remains discovered along Dallas Road during construction last week near Ogden Point will be reburied by First Nations leaders. Officials from the City of Victoria, Esquimalt First Nation, Songhees Nation and provincial archeologists met on Thursday after construction crews uncovered ancient human remains near Montreal Street and Dallas Road. “We won’t know (the extent of the burial site) until we open up the ground,” said Songhees band Coun. Ron Sam, adding the bones were found about 80 centimetres below the surface. A similar discovery was made in the same area in 2009. Excavation will take place in conjunction with the B.C. Archeology branch, and the remains will be reburied next to a nearby plaque commemorating the earlier discovery. Sam said the area has long been known as a rich archeological site, and he is confident the remains will be dealt with in a respectful manner.

Pennies prove their power one last time Campaign raised more than $500,000 since its inception Laura Lavin News staff

Black Press’ Pennies for Presents fundraiser gathered a total of $5,688.88 this year. Now in its 16th year, the campaign, through donations from the Greater Victoria community, is able to make significant contributions to two

local charities. “Teen gifts are always high in demand and low on donations. This money will help us offset the cost put out to purchase gifts and gift cards for this age group,” said Pat Humble Community Ministries Director for the Salvation Army. “Please know that all effort put into this program

has made a difference in peoples lives, both contributors and recipients.” Along with the Salvation Army, this year’s Pennies for Presents recipients included the Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island. “Black Press’ Pennies for Presents campaign is proof that

every donation, no matter how small, makes a difference. In 15 years, this campaign has raised more than $530,000 through the collection of pennies, nickels, and dimes donated by generous members of our community – what an accomplishment,” said Ron Hewitt, President & CEO, Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island. “We are grateful to Black Press for donating this year’s coins to Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island and the Salvation Army. We will use this generous gift to improve the health of children and youth on Vancouver Island.”

“The amount of families that come to us for assistance increased this year so every donation counts,” Humble added. “We were able to meet the need and assist those who came to us only because of the generosity of the community and programs such as Pennies for Presents, so on behalf of the Salvation Army and those we serve, thank you.” Our thanks to everyone who chipped in by donating their loose change for local people in need, and the local businesses that helped us collect coins. editor@oakbaynews.com

Victoria Royals players find a balance between education and hockey Travis Paterson

“It’s not like the old days (of the WHL). Actually, it’s anything but. Parents have high expectations on the school front.”

News staff

You can take the boy out of Alberta but you can’t take Alberta out of the boy. Sitting in Victoria’s traffic in a black 1971 Ford 100, there’s nothing glaringly obvious about Keegan Kanzig’s prairie upbringing. The Victoria Royals defenceman has no cowboy boots or 10 gallon hat. And despite coming from rural Alberta, he’s not an offseason ranch hand. In fact, he’s a lot less cowboy than some of the Langford players coming out of Juan de Fuca Minor Hockey. But he does have that truck, complete with fuzzy dice hanging from the mirror. “The dice were a gift, that’s all I can say,” Kanzig said. “The truck I picked up back in 2010 from someone in Spruce Grove. It wasn’t specifically a 1971 Ford that I wanted, but a truck with that era of body style.” To look at it, the old Ford has led a good life, with a few dings to prove it. Its clad with a vintage Alberta licence plate on the front and a rusted long bed that could haul at least half a dozen hockey bags. It’s size is a pretty good fit for the gentle giant, who carries his 6-foot-5, 230-pound frame with a sense of calm. Of course, he’s not so gentle on the ice. But away from the rink, Kanzig is one of nine Royals students that excel as full time students of Vic High. “So far I’ve put in a decent amount of work, a new starter and distributor cap, which I did on my own,” Kanzig said. “At school I replaced the rear axle seals and worked on the brakes.” Kanzig’s mechanical inclinations can be traced directly back to his dad, who works in Athabasca as a mechanical engineer, though the family is now based in Fort Saskatchewan.

– Tammy Renyard Victoria Royals education advisor

Don Denton/News staff

Victoria Royals’ Keegan Kanzig sits on the hood of his 1971 Ford F100 at the auto mechanics shop at Victoria High School. The Alberta native attends Vic High and is slowly rebuilding his truck. “(Kanzig) is the first Royals player to be in my mechanics class and he’s been great,” said Mark Van Akker, the auto shop teacher at Vic High. “He has a future in it if he needs it.” But it’s not all wrenches and motor oil for Kanzig. Last year, the 17-year-old aced Math 12 as a Grade 11 student, and yet he defers to 16-year-old Royals rookie Joe Hicketts as the math whiz. “Hicketts is doing the same thing, but both are very bright math students,” said Tammy

Renyard, the Royals’ education advisor. When Renyard first took on the role she was the vice principal at Vic High. She’s since become the vice principal at Spectrum Community School but continues to work with Vic High and the Royals. She’s also the mother of Nic Renyard, 18-year-old goaltender with the Penticton Vees of the BCHL, which helped lead her to the world of hockey players and school. “Vic High has been extremely

flexible to support the boys,” she said. “They all have strong marks and work very hard to maintain the balance of school and hockey. “It’s not like the old days (of the WHL). Actually, it’s anything but. Parents have high expectations on the school front.” If Kanzig is Example A, then Hicketts is Example A1. Hicketts is one of four Royals in Grade 11 with Ryan Gagnon, Brandon Fushimi and Jack Walker, while Kanzig is among the graduating players with Luke Harrison, Kolton Dixon, Taylor Crunk and

Logan Fisher. Hicketts, however, is a bit of a smarty pants. If he wasn’t such a shift disturber on the ice, one might ask to see his pocket protector. “He’s technically of Grade 11 age but is on track to graduate early and is carrying a full course load for Grade 12,” Renyard said. Renyard is also quick to point out that the Royals at Vic High aren’t the only students on the team. Ben Walker is taking a course at Camosun College. Jordan Fransoo has been doing first year economics through UVic and is now one of three Royals taking online courses through Athabasca University, which is beneficial because the courses can be done one at a time. “It’s not unheard of for WHL players to complete their first year of university before they go to the CIS,” Renyard said. “That way their CIS money goes a lot further. Some even use it to pay for their masters.” As for Kanzig, he’s hoping an NHL career is in the cards, while “trying not to think about it.” He was ranked 194th amongst North American skaters in the January release of 2013 eligible skaters by the NHL’s Central Scouting Service. With a pro contract, you can bet that old Ford will get some love. sports@vicnews.com

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

The City of Langford has received an application to amend Zoning Bylaw No. 300 by means of proposed Bylaw No. 1384. All persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by the proposed Bylaw will be afforded an opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the Bylaw at a Public Hearing to be held in the CITY OF LANGFORD COUNCIL CHAMBERS, Third Floor, 877 Goldstream Avenue, Langford, BC, on Monday, 18 February 2013, at 7:00 pm. Please be advised that no representations may be received by Council after the close of the Public Hearing and any submissions made to Council, whether orally or in writing, will form part of a public record.

Edward Hill/News staff

Cora Shaw has stepped down from her volunteer position at Swan Lake after 24 years, easily the longest-serving volunteer at the nature sanctuary.

Edward Hill News staff

For 24 years at the Swan Lake Nature House, Cora Shaw was a familiar face. She saw executive directors, staff and volunteers come and go over the decades, but the 84-year-old volunteered every Tuesday, when she wasn’t travelling the world. In late January volunteers and staff at Swan Lake held a tearful celebration for Shaw, as she stepped into a kind of second retirement. “She is by far the longest-standing volunteer,” said Terry Morrison, a former executive director of the Swan Lake nature sanctuary. “She is quite a part of this place.” These days Swan Lake has about 250 volunteers, seven paid staff, and a few part time employees. “How do you top that record? I don’t think anyone will,” said Barry Janyk, the recently hired Swan Lake executive director. “People have busy, hectic lives. Cora exemplified involvement (in the community).” Shaw has volunteered in the Swan Lake office with administration and reception since 1988, jumping off her first retirement from being a secre-

tary in the University of Victoria continuing studies department. Shaw, smiling but teary eyed after the tributes and applause, said she started volunteering after seeing an ad in a newspaper. She wanted to keep up her office skills “instead of sitting at home doing nothing.” “I was looking for something to keep me out of mischief,” she said laughing. “It’s been an enjoyable way to spend my retirement. “For the last 24 years it’s been a big part of my life. The staff have been fantastic. I’ve seen a lot of them come and go.” Age and modern technology have conspired to make it difficult for Shaw to remain a volunteer in the role that she’s had. She admits she’s not much of a computer person. Shaw said she’ll keep visiting Swan Lake as long as she can drive, and walk the paths to see the birds. The marshy lake remains a sanctuary for plants and animals, and a sanctuary for the Saanich resident. “It’s nice to walk around the lake and I like the birds here,” she said. “With so many houses and traffic on the highway, this is a nice oasis for the city of Victoria. To me this is a nice oasis.” editor@saanichnews.com
