Former mayor celebrates Highlands museum opening Charla Huber News staff
Bob McMinn’s dream has come true. The first mayor of Highlands has been working for more than one and a half years to create a museum and help share the history of his beloved community. Now it is set to open. “I feel like a weight is off my shoulders,” said McMinn, vice-chair of Highland Heritage Park Society. The museum is located at the Caleb Pike Heritage Park on Millstream Road and will open officially on Nov. 17. The museum itself was built with milled wood from McMinn’s property and sits on the future site of the Highlands Community Hall, at Millstream and Finlayson Arm roads. More lumber will need to be milled for the floor of the 450-square-foot building. The walls also need to be oiled. The museum and the community hall are being partially funded through a provincial grant. McMinn paid for the museum to be built and hired a full-time carpenter, who has been working on the project since July 2012.
“I am still waiting to get the portion from the grant. It will only cover about a quarter of it,” said McMinn, adding the museum has cost him about $120,000. The walls are one-foot thick to help save on hearting costs and it also has double windows and double doors, a design McMinn penned himself. McMinn, 89, has lived in Highlands for 60 years. “My wife fell in love with the Highlands and I had no objections,” McMinn said. The museum had a soft opening at the Highlands Fling, Sept. 8, but with the finishing touches needed it will be closed to the public until the official opening. Once complete, the museum will be open to the public during the Highlands Charla Huber/News staff Market, the last Sunday of the month from Daphne Allen and Bob McMinn are excited the Highlands Museum has become a May to September.

Learning to donate young leads to lifetime of helping September is Child Cancer Awareness month Charla Huber News staff
Every drop of donated blood counts in helping save the lives of others. This September all donors will be pinned with a little gold ribbon when they give the selfless gift of blood. The Gold Ribbon Campaign is a part of Child Cancer Awareness month. “One cancer patient needs eight units of blood each week of treatment,” said Catherine Sloot, partnership specialist with Canadian Blood Services. “So it takes eight people to support one cancer patient for that week.” This is the second year Canadian Blood Services is partnering with the Gold Ribbon Campaign to draw in more blood donors while honouring children living with cancer and remembering those who have died. “Often people think people needing blood are people who have been in accidents or operations, but people don’t connect the need for blood to support cancer patients,” Sloot said. “We want to encourage people to help support people with cancer, especially children.” This past summer, as is the case most summers, Canadian Blood Services’ inventory dropped and there was call out for donations. “No one was going without blood, but there may have been a delay even if it was a matter of hours,” said Sloot. The drop in blood donations usually stems from regular donors going on vacation and being out of their regular routine. “Donating blood is a way to give back to the community. You can share vitality with someone you will probably never meet,” Sloot said. With summer winding down, donation rates have begun to rise again, but Sloot said there

Members of the community will be celebrating life with hope this weekend, as the Walk for ALS event encourages friends and family to strut together on Sunday, Sept. 15.

Alert neighbour saves townhouse Charla Huber News staff
Around 3 a.m. on Sept. 7 West Shore RCMP were notified of a vacant townhouse being broken into. A woman called RCMP after a unit attached to her home on the 1400-block of Cooper Road was invaded. “The caller advised that four people had gone inside by breaking the front window,” said Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz, West Shore RCMP spokesperson. The suspects had fled by the time police and the K-9 Unit arrived. During the search of the townhouse an officer noticed smoke in the unit.
Someone had lit papers on fire and threw them on the stove, Rochlitz explained. The officer used a fire extinguisher from his car to put out the fire and the View Royal Fire Department arrived on scene to ensure the fire was properly extinguished. Some items seized by police are being investigated by the forensics unit. The only damage to the townhouse was a broken front window. Police believe two suspects are male and two are female. RCMP is asking anyone with any knowledge of this crime to call the detachment at 250-474-2264. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong tables a balanced budget in the Legislative Assembly on Thursday, June 27, 2013.
Legislature silent until spring Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – The B.C. government is not planning to recall the legislature for a fall session, Finance Minister Mike de Jong said Tuesday. That could change if a labour dispute shuts down public schools, with contracts expired since spring for teachers and school support staff. The government could call an emergency sitting to impose a settlement if the school year is disrupted by strike action. But de Jong, the B.C. Liberal house leader, confirmed that the scheduled session from October through November will not be held, as has become routine for the B.C. Liberal government. “The house sat through the summer in the aftermath of the election, and the government wants to take the time to prepare for a robust spring legislative session,” de Jong told reporters Tuesday. After a brief session to table a pre-election budget in February, the government adjourned in March to begin the campaign, then recalled the legislature in July to debate the budget and min-

istry spending estimates. Meeting those minimum requirements took 36 sitting days. NDP house leader John Horgan said Premier Christy Clark apparently prefers “running the government out of a Vancouver office building,” with an agenda almost entirely devoted to liquefied natural gas exports to Asia. Even if the government isn’t ready to present its taxation plan for LNG, there are issues such as power and water use and greenhouse gas emissions that should be debated, Horgan said. De Jong said he hopes to have a gas export tax plan ready for public view by the end of 2013. Barring an emergency session, the legislature will resume next February with a throne speech describing the government’s priorities and a new budget for 2013-14.

OUR VIEW
Gov’t can’t walk and chew gum Out front of the big stone building in Victoria’s Inner Harbour is where people watch Symphony Splash, where tourists snap pics, where the annual marathon has its finish line and where concerts are held on Canada Day. The grounds of the legislature are busy, except as a place of work for our 85 elected provincial representatives. With another fall sitting cancelled, MLAs will have sat in the chamber for 36 days this year. It’s good work if you can get it. Cancelling legislative sessions has become the norm for the B.C. Liberals. House leader Mike de Jong has repeated the script four times now – he has announced the cancellation of the fall sitting in 2013, 2012, 2008 and 2006. Each time, the NDP opposition registered its outrage with the media, declaring the cancellation an abdication of democracy and accusing the Liberals of trying to avoid tough issues and questions. Premier Christy Clark points out the legislature sat in the summer after the spring election and that the government will get more work done not being in session. The government apparently can’t walk and chew gum at the same time. The province is facing big questions about the direction of its energy policy, the shrinking provincial budget surplus (or increasing deficit, depending on who you talk to), increasing B.C. Hydro rates and our role as a Pacific Rim economy. No matter your political stripe, B.C. residents should be skeptical of the claim the government has no pressing legislation or issues to discuss through the fall. Whether it’s the federal Conservatives proroguing Parliament or the B.C. Liberals cancelling sessions, senior government inaction serves only to perpetuate cynicism and promote alienation of the public from politics. Our local government councillors and mayors, most who are paid relatively little and certainly don’t get the pensions and spending perks of senior elected officials, normally don’t get the luxury of cancelling public meetings. The outrage would be heard far and wide if Victoria city council decided to avoid its chamber to avoid tough questions or “to get more work done.” Other than promoting liquefied natural gas as a future cash cow, the Liberals’ priorities and agenda for the next four years remain unclear. For a full public accounting of our rising provincial debt and struggling budget, stay tuned, five months from now. What do you think?

the Senate, in consultation with the provinces. Sadly, Conservatives and Liberals worked together to defeat that plan. In doing so, they voted to keep sending our tax dollars to an institution in which we do not have a single representative, rather than to invest in the things all Canadians need. Imagine what else we could do with a $100 million a year. How many new schools, bridges and hospitals could be built? How many polluted waterways could be restored and put to productive use? How many seniors could we lift out of poverty and give back the dignity they’ve been denied by Conservative cuts? Canadians know the status quo isn’t good enough and they know how we can fix it. Every province in Canada manages without an unelected upper house; so can the federal government. The Senate does nothing that cannot be done by the elected House of Commons. Change won’t be easy, but already three provincial premiers are on record in support of abolition. Here in B.C., Premier Christy Clark told reporters, “We don’t really need a Senate.” The recent Senate scandals are nothing new, but for many Canadians they’re the last straw. More and more, we are seeing the Senate for what it is: a vestigial organ that adds nothing to our democracy – and sometimes gets in the way. It’s time to pull the plug. Murray Rankin is NDP Member of Parliament for Victoria.

LETTERS
MLA explains voting record Re: Weaver’s actions somehow ignored (Letters, Sept. 6) I thank Mr. Faris for challenging me to justify why I voted in support of the B.C. budget on July 8. The motion on which I voted was deemed to be a confidence motion in the government. Were the motion to fail (for example in the case of a minority government), we would be heading into another general election. The B.C. Liberals proposed this same budget prior to the election and got re-elected. B.C. voters had an opportunity to elect another party but chose to re-elect the Liberals for four more years. I felt it was important to support British Columbians in this regard.
Over the course of my campaign, I said numerous times that I would work with whichever party formed government. I do not believe that opposing the budget that the Liberals ran on (and won on) a mere eight weeks after the election would be fulfilling this promise. During the campaign I also stated that I wanted to do politics differently. Opposition members are afforded the opportunity to vote against everything without having to propose very much. I feel that I better serve the constituents of Oak Bay-Gordon Head and the citizens of B.C. by supporting the overall budget, thereby showing confidence in the newly elected government, while continuing to raise
concerns about the aspects I find troublesome. Mr. Faris is incorrect in implying that projected liquid natural gas revenues are in the 2013-14 budget. They would not materialize until well after the next election. For reasons I outlined in the election campaign, I remain convinced that such hypothetical revenues are at best wishful thinking. I continue to believe that the future prosperity of British Columbia lies in our clean tech sector, sustainable forestry, and the small business community. Of course, as we move forward I will be reassessing my position on each new budget introduced into the legislature. Andrew Weaver MLA Oak Bay-Gordon Head
Readers respond: Education abroad, PEERS Education a right that deserves funding As we watch our children head off for the start of another school year, we should pause and consider the state of education in the rest of the world. While Canadians enjoy one of the best education systems that exist, globally 57 million children of primary school age still remain out of school; that’s almost twice the population of Canada denied a future. The Global Partnership for Education is the only multilateral partnership that exists to help bring down that appalling number. Over the last decade, it has put an additional 23 million children in school, trained 413,000 teachers and constructed more than 37,000 classrooms for boys and girls. Canada helps fund this program and these numbers are an

Re: PEERS loses drop-in centre, social program (News, Sept.4) I have long held that our attitude towards prostitutes reflects our attitude towards women in general.

example of Canadian tax dollars making a big difference. But the numbers are still sobering: globally, 66 million girls are not offered any schooling at all. When girls get an education, they are six times less likely to be married off as children, and have 2.2 fewer children. For every extra additional year a girl stays in school, her income can increase by 15 to 25 per cent. The Global Partnership for Education is slated for funding renewal and it’s imperative our federal government increases its contribution. During the past funding round, the Global Partnership achieved barely half of its needs, resulting in another lost generation. Compared to the economic return, the cost of educating children is small, and girls especially need our help to bring much needed changes

What not to recycle The Capital Regional District has an online tool (myrecyclopedia.ca) that provides information on how to recycle unconventional items – but it has its limitations. If you want to dispose of a rocket launcher, for example, your search comes up empty. So Saanich police are telling the public throwing a rocket launcher in a recycling bin at the landfill is not the way to get rid of military weaponry, after somebody did just that last week. On Wednesday, Sept. 4 Hartland staff discovered the weapon in a bin at the dump. “Their concern was that it may be usable,” said Sgt. Steve
Eassie. “At this point it is inert, it is no longer housing what was once a rocket inside the missile launcher.” Police surmise the “Guided Missile System, Intercept,” which is roughly four feet long and weighs less than 10 pounds, would have likely been used by the U.S. military from land to take down an aircraft in the 1960s or ‘70s. It was designed to be fired only once, according to police. “It would’ve been used and disposed of. It was likely retrieved (after being fired) and kept by someone as a souvenir,” Eassie said. It appears as if the weapon was modified to be hung on display, but it was no longer wanted and was discarded at
the landfill. “They could’ve disposed of it in a more appropriate manner,” Eassie said. “Should someone have equipment such as this in a collection at home, including other weapons that may have been rendered inoperable, the best course of action ... is to contact the police department, and ask that they be surrendered for destruction.” It’s not illegal to possess what he simply called “wartime memorabilia.” Eassie is not sure whether police will destroy the rocket launcher, or if it will be turned over to the Department of National Defence to destroy, but he says it won’t wind up in another recycling bin. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Liquor stores may chill out Policy reform rankles private store owners Jeff Nagel Black Press
Another liquor policy reform being eyed by the province would allow more government liquor stores to sell cold beer and wine, which has long been the domain of private stores. Ten government stores already sell some refrigerated products but the province will now test the waters for a major expansion. Walk-in beer and wine “cold rooms” will open at the end of September at three stores in Burnaby, Duncan and Salmon Arm. That’s the first stage of a pilot project adding four more walk-in beer and wine refrigeration coolers at existing stores in Oliver, Osoyoos, Mill Bay and Grand Forks later in the fall. The province wants feedback on the idea as part of its already-launched Liquor Policy Review, along with several other proposals for reform. The Alliance of Beverage Licensees of B.C. called the move a surprise and said it would throw private outlets and government stores into more direct competition. John Yap, the parliamentary secretary for the liquor policy review, said all other Canadian provinces offer refrigeration in most, if not all, of their government liquor stores. “This is another area where we think B.C. is lagging behind other jurisdictions,” Yap said. “Refrigeration units seem to be very popular with customers, but the public and industry will now have the opportunity to give us feedback on whether this is something they would like to see on a larger scale around the province.” Other potential reforms being explored include licensing farmers’ markets and spas to serve alcohol and letting under-aged children have lunch at a pub with their parents during the day. Public consultations run until Oct. 31 and a website for comments is to launch soon. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Tour supporters now Tour riders Sidney North Saanich RCMP reserve constables ready to fight childhood cancer Devon MacKenzie News staff
As with many Tour de Rock riders, the motivation for Terry Curry to get involved stems from personal experiences with cancer, including a battle of his own. Curry is the oldest rider on the tour at 66 and not only battled prostate cancer himself, after being diagnosed in 2005, but he also lost a brother to childhood cancer when he was young. “In 1965 I lost my 15-year-old brother to leukemia,” Curry said. “He was diagnosed in September and by June he passed away. There was no real treatment then, nothing like compared to now.” Curry said the memories of his brother and the thought of offering hope to children battling the same disease spurred him on to apply to participate in the Tour. “I had always wanted to ride in the Tour de Rock but events in my life just never lined up,” he said. Curry spent 29 years with the RCMP and retired in 2007, after which he began working as a reserve constable at the airport with the Sidney North Saanich RCMP. When those positions were cut this past spring, Curry began working with the RCMP’s South Island Integrated Marine Unit. He’s thankful the stars finally aligned for him to be

able to participate in the Tour. “I am working a few days a week doing that right now which has given me the flexibility to train for the Tour. I was lucky enough to be able to take off time in September and October for fundraising and the ride itself,” he said. Curry’s teammate from the Saanich Peninsula, also a reserve constable with the Sidney North Saanich RCMP, is Alan Neville-Rutherford. The two met through work connections, with Curry working as the RCMP reserve constable for the airport and Neville-Rutherford working for G4S, which handles airport security. Personal connections with cancer are also what spurred Neville-Rutherford to get involved.
“The main motivation for me to ride this year was that I had a cousin who passed away from lymphoma a year after being diagnosed,” Neville-Rutherford said. “We were very close. He had three teenage kids and was the same age as me so it was a real eye-opener.” Neville-Rutherford has been a member of the Sidney North Saanich RCMP auxiliary since 2006 and an avid supporter of the Tour de Rock for many years. “You could usually find me at the Thursday (Sidney) Night Market selling Tour de Rock T-shirts at the RCMP booth and people always asked me if I was the Tour de Rock rider,” he said. “I’m happy to be able to say that I am now, and I’m hoping to do every-
thing I can to raise as much as possible for the pediatric cancer.” The two teammates are training three days a week with the 19 other riders, and credit their trainers in getting them in top shape for the Tour, which begins Sept. 21. “Neither of us ever thought we’d be able to ride the speeds and distances we do. It’s really amazing how much the trainers have helped us and guided us,” Neville-Rutherford said. “Every day we ride it’s a new challenge but a doable one, when you think about what those kids go through. At the end of the day, it really comes down to that — supporting each other as a team so we can raise as much as possible for the kids.” reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

T
he Arab-Israeli conflict seems intractable at the best of times and may appear more hopeless than ever after watching The Attack, a heart-wrenching drama about love and loss that has a suicide bombing at its core. The central character is Amin Jaafari, a distinguished Arab surgeon who lives in Tel Aviv and is a paragon of humanism in a world where intolerant fundamentalism is the norm. Ten minutes into the film there is a terrorist bombing in a restaurant that kills 16 people and brings many more injured to the hospital where Amin works. That act of political terror suddenly turns personal when evidence indicates it was Amin’s kindly and loving wife, Siham, who blew herself up that day. At first in denial, the emotionally devastated Amin eventually heads to Nablus in the Occupied Territories to connect with family and try to discover how and by whom Siham was radicalized. What he discovers causes him to reexamine his life, his marriage, and everything he thought he knew about his life in the Middle East. Attack is one of those quietly devastating films that starts slowly, drawing you deeper and deeper into a world where extremist ideologies have a compelling emotional power that simplifies arguments to an us-versus-them paradigm. We go on a fraught journey as Amin replays scenes in his mind, trying to understand how his soulmate could have chosen this secret and deadly path without him ever knowing. By the film’s end, a once happy and fulfilled Amin finds himself not only emotionally gutted but also alienated from the fierce beliefs of both Palestinians and Israelis.

Victoria’s Sears Home Store
Long-time Sears Home professional thrives as new senior sales manager
With a natural enthusiasm for sales, customer service and helping his co-workers thrive, Martin Gagnon has found the perfect niche as Senior Sales Manager at Victoria’s Sears Home Martin Store. Gagnon Originally from Valleyfield, welcomes Quebec, southwest of you to Sears Montreal, Gagnon left Home Store home at 17, travelling the in Victoria world with the Canadian Navy for five years. His travels landed him in Victoria, where upon meeting his partner he decided the time was right to settle down and embrace the next phase of his career. A naturally vibrant, outgoing person, retail sales was the perfect fit for Gagnon, who learned and trained with several national companies before joining the Sears family 12 years ago. Here he embraced the opportunity to bring his creative approach first to the furniture department, then major appliances, achieving the million-dollar sales mark in both departments. Why retail? “I like at the end of the day what I have accomplished,” says Gagnon, who when not at work might be founding hiking with his Cairn terrier, Coco, cooking or travelling with his partner. “I’m successful if I’ve found out what the customer needs and at the end of the sale, they say, ‘That was the best sales experience I’ve had.’” Being able to draw on his enthusiasm and creativity has been key to his success and his joy in coming to work each day. “If you see five sales people, you will remember the one who is a little different,” Gagnon explains. Rather than seeing only the straight line between a problem and a solution, for example, “I like to try a different approach with situations I come across.” Paired with his approach is his dedication to continually keeping up-to-date on new products, trends and Sears initiatives. When the opportunity arose last year to move into a management role, the next step was a right one. “I want to be able to share that knowledge and my experience with others,” explains Gagnon, a long-time trainer who is also on the lookout for his next great sales person to join the Sears team. He’s also excited about the new focus Sears has adopted, and he encourages people to come see all that is new at Sears Home. “We’re embracing style, design and quality – this is going to be the new Sears.” What makes Gagnon so successful at all he does? “He is so passionate,” Sears Home store manager Margaret Ramsay says of Gagnon. “He is passionate about the products and he’s passionate about customer service, with a very fun, positive approach.”

ugust and early September have been like a gift to Paul Rodgers. The front man for Bad Company, which begins the home stretch of its busy 40th anniversary tour with shows tomorrow (Sept. 14) in Penticton and Sunday at Esquimalt’s Bullen Field, is enjoying the perks of living in the Okanagan. “I’ve suddenly decided September is my favourite month,” he said this week, commenting on the stunning late summer weather. Having grown up in England and toured the world musically countless times, he has settled in B.C. with his wife, Cynthia, who hails from the Okanagan. Rodgers, now 63, became a Canadian citizen in 2011. “I love B.C., it’s absolutely beautiful,” he said. “I’m still discovering lakes and places to go. It’s also very English in many respects. There’s a strong connection between the two countries. It’s like England with a lot more space.” The band, also including original members Mick Ralphs on guitar and drummer Simon Kirke, kicked off the anniversary tour in mid-June with a performance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. For a group of guys in their 60s, their pace is nothing short of astounding: 16 shows in July, a few in August to allow band members to enjoy a summer break, then seven more dates in September, winding up with a show at the Los Angeles County Fair. While this year’s focus is on celebrating 40 years of making music together, touring as Bad Company has been an almost annual event in recent years.
That means they’ve stayed musically tight, Rodgers said. “It’s been awesome. On a musical level, it’s been incredible. When we hit the stage, it’s kind of like unleashing hell.” Many of the concerts on this year’s tour have sold out. A number of them featured opening act Lynyrd Skynyrd, another hugely popular band from the 1970s. Such Bad Company hits as “Rock and Roll Fantasy,” “Feel Like Making Love” and “Shooting Star” still resonate with audience members,” Rodgers said. That speaks to why many classic rock bands from past eras have begun touring again and are doing well at the gate, he added. “I think they were very good,” he said. “But we did really pay our dues. You had to go out and play, play, play all the time. But it is possible now to have your 15 minutes of fame without having played a lot of shows. Our music is real and it comes from a point of passion.” Most of the shows Bad Company puts on these days are in smaller venues, where concert goers can be closer to the band. Regardless of the performance space, Rodgers said it’s important that they put out “110 per cent” for the audience. “You want to be sure it’s great music and that people have a good time. I want them to be knocked out, actually.” Bad Company, with opening act Chilliwack, play Sept. 15 at Bullen Field. Concert time is 6 to 9 p.m. Tickets are $83.50 or $121 for VIP admission, available online at hightideconcerts.net, rmts.bc.ca; by phone at 1-888-222-6608 or at Ditch Records and Lyle’s Place.

Collagen is the key. Molecular biologists have pinpointed the key structural protein for creating smooth skin, thick strong hair, and strong nails. It’s your body’s beauty protein, collagen. During youth, you have a rich abundance of collagen. In addition, the collagen forms itself in a resilient “tight mesh” matrix. This “ideal” collagen condition prevents wrinkles from forming, gives skin elasticity, helps create thick, beautiful hair and strong nails. But over the years, collagen diminishes. Starting at age 21, collagen diminishes by 1% per year. By age 30, signs of reduced collagen on skin, hair and nails become visible, not to mention the increase risk of fracture for bones. Say the words “healthy bones,” and the first word that probably pops up is calcium, but did you know that bones are made up of 30% collagen? Collagen provides strength and flexibility to bones. When collagen diminishes – your risk of fracture increases! Now, genuine collagen regeneration is possible with clinically proven BioSil™. BioSil, a patented cholinestabilized orthosilicic acid (ch-OSA®) complex, helps your body to generate its own collagen to provide support for denser and more flexible bones as well as beautiful skin, hair and nails. BioSil has been tested in rigorous double-blind placebo controlled trials for both efficacy and safety. Regenerate Collagen with BioSil, the only clinically proven product with ch-OSA – the most absorbable form of silicon.

French is the new black as school comes back into session for students across Greater Victoria and B.C. Of the 7,894 students registered in kindergarten to Grade 5 in the Greater Victoria School District (SD61), 23.4 per cent are enrolled in French immersion. A further 25.3 per cent of Grade 6 to 8 students are registered in the program at the middle school level. High school registration numbers for the district are not yet available. “Yes, French immersion is on the rise in our area, especially for our kindergarten levels,” said Simon Burgers, modern language co-ordinator for SD61. “French immersion in Victoria has grown on an annual basis and Victoria has seen an increase in kindergarten registrations in French immersion.” Burgers says Victoria lays claim to the largest French immersion program per total student enrolment in the province. “The Greater Victoria School District continues to lead the way in offering our families many educational program options,” said Wendy Holob, principal of École Willows Elementary. “We offer sport academies, schools of choice, and French immersion programs as opportunities to meet individual student’s interests and strengths. French immersion is one of these exciting programs available to our families. In their own ways, each of these programs adds to our vibrant school environments.” According to a recent study by Canadian Parents for French, B.C. and Yukon division, French immersion enrolment in B.C.’s public education system has reached a record 15th year of consecutive growth. Figures indicate this year 47,857 students – or 8.5 per cent of the student population in B.C. – are now registered in the program. There are also more than 187,000 students learning French through basic core French. “We believe French programs are popular because they are widely recognized by parents as providing young students with the tools and experiences that will enrich their lives and help them prepare for the future,” said Debra Pool, president of Canadian Parents for French B.C. and Yukon, an organization dedicated to promoting second language opportunities for all young students.

Vikes host James Bay for Friday night rugby The goal posts have been installed at Centeinnal Stadium as the UVic Vikes men’s rugby team hosts crosstown rivals James Bay Athletic Association in Vancouver Island Barnard Cup competition tonight (Sept. 13). Kickoff is 7 p.m. The Vikes have a promising squad to challenge for the Barnard Cup and provincial Rounsefell Cup title this year. But the Vikes will face the same challenges as previous years with players such as Nathan Hirayama, Phil Mack and Sean Duke committed to the national program for IRB International sevens, the IRB November test window for 15s, and the Langford-based Americas Rugby Championship in October. This weekend the Vikes will be without Hirayama, Luke McCLoskey, Shea Wakefield and Dustin Dobravsky, who all travel with the B.C. Bears to Ontario for a Canadian Rugby Championship match versus the Blues. The Vikes women’s rugby team visits Cowichan on Saturday, the first match of the Island’s senior women’s fall schedule. The Velox Valhallians men’s team hosts Castaway Wanderers at 2:45 p.m on Saturday while the Velox Valkyries women visit Nanaimo.
Sevens rugby success at UVic Vikes rugby players were scattered among three different squads of the Victoria International 7s finals on Saturday (Sept. 7). The soggy pitch of UVic’s Wallace Field held up enough to host some dazzling tries. Vikes Pat Kay scored two tries and Nathan Yanagiya scored once to propel the younger, fitter Canada Blue squad to a 38-0 Cup win and $5,000 prize over the older Serevi Selects. The University Selects, an unofficial Vikes team, won the Plate final 34-7 over Canada Black. Selects Jamie Mackenzie and Liam Murray each scored two tries in the Plate final. sports@vicnews.com

our recovery plan needs to be done in conjunction with all the surrounding municipalities in the Capital Region, and obviously with our provincial government,” Mayor Dean Fortin said. Victoria lacks a citywide seismic assessment for both public and private buildings, as well as a comprehensive clean-up plan in the event of a natural disaster. But emergency preparedness is too much for the city to tackle on its own, Fortin said. “Just because it’s unfunded, it doesn’t mean it’s the City of Victoria’s responsibility to fund it,” he said. Another unfunded initiative hanging over council is dealing with the aging Crystal Pool. A decision on that matter is expected next spring, after council receives public input on whether to sell the property or complete necessary upgrades. The OCP is the city’s overarching visionary document and all future policy decisions must fit within its mandate. View the implementation plan at bit.ly/16kQtHI. dpalmer@vicnews.com

The end of summer usually marks the end of one of Victoria’s favourite pastimes: the farmers’ market. But as of this weekend, conscientious shoppers will be able to satisfy their “shop local” itch year-round at the Victoria Public Market at The Hudson, an indoor market in the basement of the iconic Hudson building on Douglas Street. “We’re still working on a green grocer and talking to a few interested butchers, but we’ve got an amazing list of vendors,” said market general manager Maryanne Carmack. One of those vendors is The French Oven, run by Nick Castro and Sandra Van Vliet. The couple began selling their traditional French pastries at farmers’ markets around the Capital Region this past summer, and are making their first venture into brick-and-mortar. Also opening is Vij’s Sutra, an Indian fusion vendor offering mostly takeaway products from the renowned Vij’s Restaurant. “We’ll also do a small, hot rotating menu,” said Mike Bernardo, Vij’s operations director.

Husband and wife as well as business partners, Nick Castro and Sandra Van Vliet stand in what will be their bakery, The French Oven, at the new Victoria Public Market at the Hudson. “We have a chicken and chickpea curry, navy bean and kale curry.” At the market’s grand opening Saturday (Sept. 14), Vij’s owner Vikram Vij will be one of several chefs showcasing their culinary expertise in the community kitchen, a rentable space created with a grant from VanCity. “There are a limited number of kitchens available for rent on the Island, so we really wanted to offer a facility where people can do canning, bread making – any food production,” Carmack said. “We’ll also be introducing kids’ programming once we get up and going.”

Enjoy the convenience of being close to schools, shopping, buses & recreation as they are just minutes away. Great value!!

ICBC targets distracted driving Jeff Nagel Black Press
Police and ICBC are launching a monthlong campaign to deter distracted driving,
the third leading cause of fatal car crashes in the province after speed and impaired driving. Driver distraction is blamed as a factor in 91 fatalities province-wide each year. Transportation ministry officials estimate drivers are four times likelier to crash when talking on a hand-held phone while driving and 23 times more likely to be in a crash if texting. Enforcement by officers handing out $167 fines will be stepped up throughout Sep-
tember, according to police. “Driving is a complex task that requires your full attention,” ICBC interim president Mark Blucher said. “When you’re distracted behind the wheel your reaction time is significantly reduced.” A 2012 survey for ICBC found B.C. motorists consider texting while driving to be just as risky as drinking and driving, yet 40 per cent of those who own cellphones admit they’ve used a hand-held phone while driv-
NEWS GAZETTE
ing. ICBC says its statistics count use of communications or video equipment among the sources of driver distraction. ICBC injury payouts reached $1.9 billion in 2012, up $165 million from the previous year and a $400 million increase over five years. The Crown corporation cited that increase as the main reason for its application to raise premiums 4.9 per cent, effective Nov. 1.
‘Fizzics’ of drinks explored at free UVic event
Choose to recycle your milk containers.
Stanford University chemist Richard Zare hosts a demonstration show on beverages – alcoholic, carbonated, or otherwise – at UVic next Tuesday, 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. at the Farquhar Auditorium. Zare ponders such questions as why James Bond prefers his vodka Martini shaken, not stirred, and fills his lecture with demonstrations on amazing applications for bubbles. Only the brave should sit in the front row. The lecture is free but contact UVic at 250-721-8480 or tickets. uvic.ca to reserve a seat.
Work begins on luxury marina
And choose a better future for all of us.
More people than ever are doing what’s right for the environment. That’s why over 666,000 kg of milk containers were recycled at Return-It™ Depots in 2012. And it’s easy to make the right choice a part of your routine; just bring them in along with your bottles and cans.
For more information and to find a Return-It™ Depot near you, call 1-800-330-9767 or visit return-it.ca/milk Zero deposit paid = zero deposit refunded.
The first foundations of a luxury marina have been laid off the shore of the Songhees Walkway in the Inner Harbour. Approval for the marina has been given by the federal and provincial governments, Esquimalt First Nation and Songhees Nation. Once complete, the marina will include retail buildings along the walkway and 29 moorage slips for yachts 65 to 150 feet in length. Work is expected to be completed in 2015.
