Car ban proposed for Clive dwellers Christopher Sun News staff
The proposed Clive redevelopment will have a covenant preventing tenants from owning a car once all of the parking stalls are allocated, but two Oak Bay councillors don’t think the rule is enforceable. Clive owner Nicole Roberts plans to demolish the current eight suite apartment building located at the corner of Oak Bay Avenue and Clive Drive, and replace it with a 17-unit building. She is seeking a number of zoning variances, mostly having to do with setbacks, but one is to reduce the

A rigging failure has forced Oak Bay sailor Glenn Wakefield to end his non-stop, solo sailing trip around the globe. This was Wakefield’s second attempt at circumnavigating the globe, westwardly. In April 2008, he abandoned his boat off the coast of Argentina after it was damaged from rolling over in a series of storms. He sustained a concussion in that ordeal and was at sea for 220 days. Wakefield ended his second attempt on Dec. 26, 116 days after he set sail from Cadboro Bay. He made the decision after noticing a wire strand had broken loose while doing an inspection of his 42-foot boat, the West Wind II, as it sailed westbound in the Indian Ocean. After deciding to end his journey, he turned the boat around and sailed 1,775 nautical miles to Western Australia. It took him three weeks to reach the coastal city of Fremantle. “He doesn’t know what caused (the rigging failure) but it was a significant enough problem to end (the trip),” said Wakefield’s wife, MaryLou, who is in daily email contact with him. “He won’t continue on circumnavigating this year. It took him three weeks to sail to Australia. It might take two weeks to fix (the boat) and then it will take him three weeks to get back to where he was.” The delay would put him eight weeks behind and in the worst time to sail around Cape Horn. Wakefield sailed into Fremantle on Jan. 14. He met up with some ham radio friends, who he had never met before, but has remained in contact with since his first attempt at the journey. Wakefield is quickly readjusting to being on land again. In a blog post dated Jan. 18, he revealed the consequences of not walking more than a few steps a day while at sea has resulted in muscle pain in his legs. MaryLou is glad her husband is safe and doesn’t know when he’ll be home. “He’s got a lot to work on over there,” she said. “I’m glad he’s safe. I will see him when he gets home.” Read more about Wakefield’s journey at glennwakefieldaroundtheworld.com. reporter@vicnews.com

A life of philanthropy Couple honoured by Leadership Victoria

Young residents encouraged to get involved Christopher Sun News staff
Change is going to happen in Oak Bay, so plan for it and think about future generations while doing so. That is the message attendees were given at the Oak Bay Tomorrow, Creating our Future forum held Saturday by the Community Association of Oak Bay (CAOB). About 50 people attended the afternoon discussion at Oak Bay United Church, which featured a presentation from three Victoria-area planning experts. Capital Regional District planner Sue Hallat explained the involvement of various government levels when it comes to planning. City Spaces Consulting president and planner Linda Allen explained what Official Community Plans (OCP) are, and City of Victoria senior planner Brian Sikstrom spoke about Victoria’s recent experience
with drafting a new OCP. He also talked about housing and how Victoria has encouraged illegal secondary suite owners to legalize suites by offering grants to homeowners for registering them. CAOB board member Joseph Blake said the forum’s purpose was to inform and encourage people to participate in planning Oak Bay’s future, especially now as the district is in the middle of drafting a new OCP. “The forum was to educate people on what we can do as a community to make our community better and how we determine what’s better,” said CAOB board member Joseph Blake. “You can tell by how the people spoke where they came from on the political spectrum, from right to left. What is unifying them, is that they all care about their community.” The forum touched on affordable housing, density

Vision Matters Dr. Neil Paterson
Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.
What is 20/20 vision? You may be pleased to hear that you have 20/20 vision and think you have perfect vision. But do you? Not necessarily. 20/20 only indicates how sharp or clear your vision is at a distance. Overall vision also includes peripheral awareness or side vision, eye coordination, depth perception, focussing ability and colour vision. 20/20 is the average visual clarity obtainable by normal healthy eyes. Since it is an average, it means that there are those that see better or worse than 20/20 and yet still have healthy eyes. 20/20 describes normal visual clarity or sharpness measured at a distance of 20 feet from an object. If you have 20/20 vision, you can see clearly at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. If you have 20/100 vision, it means that you must be as close as 20 feet to see what a person with normal vision can see at 100 feet. In the metric system, 6/6 is the equivalent of 20/20. The ability to see objects clearly is affected by many factors. Eye conditions like nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism or eye disease influence visual acuity. Most people with vision slightly below 20/20 function very well, whereas some people who have better than 20/20 feel their vision is not satisfactory. Everybody’s visual expectations are different and satisfactory vision is far more complex than just being able to see 20/20. If you feel your vision is not up to standard a comprehensive eye examination will identify causes that may affect your ability to see well. Optometrists may be able to prescribe glasses, contact lenses or other vision aids that will help improve your vision. If the reduced vision is due to an eye disease, the use of ocular medication or other treatment may be needed. If necessary, a referral to a specialist will be made if an eye disease is found which warrants further investigation.

Right to die laws need updating No doubt the discussion of legal updates around assisted suicide will be lively tonight (Jan. 29) at the Sticky Wicket Pub, as proponents and interested parties hear from those on both sides of the issue.
There are plenty of arguments for or against the idea of allowing one to choose his or her time of departure from this mortal coil. On the one side, the thought of forcing terminally ill people to suffer through the worst stages of ALS, terminal cancer and other debilitating conditions seems akin to relegating family and loved ones to a torturous state. Those coming from a more conservative or religious background might argue that allowing a sick person to end their own life, with someone’s help, amounts to “playing God.” It seems self-righteous for people to judge those whose compassionate actions help end another’s struggle with extreme agony, especially in cases where the sufferer has no hope of regaining any quality of life. As with any controversial decision on human rights – the current illegality of assisted suicide may yet be overturned by the Supreme Court of Canada – there must be checks and balances to prevent abuses and impropriety. Other countries, such as Switzerland, have taken the step of allowing medical personnel to assist when a terminally ill patient wishes to end their life. In Canada, a precursor to allowing one to carry out the act could be securing written permission from the ill person’s family doctor, who could not only vouch for their health status, but also document who will be present during the suicide. Given that human life is involved, laws would have to be enacted to protect such doctors, as well as caregivers and any family members who assist in the act, from prosecution for trying to do the right thing. It’s not as if people would line up to take advantage of such a change in human rights legislation. At the very least, though, we need to have a more humane option for those whose quality of life has long since ended.

Stone correctly notes that Vancouver wants SkyTrain on Broadway, Surrey wants new surface light rail, and other Lower Mainland communities want new road and bridge works. Local governments have a long history of parochial squabbling, getting their pet projects done and then suddenly developing the urge to rein in spending once it’s time to dig deep for their neighbours. Lower Mainland taxpayers are weary and confused by all this reorganizing and in-fighting. Many likely believe that it is their regional government that has imposed the Port Mann bridge tolls, when in fact that is a provincial highway project over which they had no say. Clark has made it clear there is no going back from a November referendum on new regional transportation financing tools, a promise explicit in the B.C. Liberal election platform. She hopes it will increase the dismal voter turnout for local votes. If it does that, it may be worth it. Right now, civic elections are dismal affairs, with voter turnout and awareness of local issues drifting from bad to worse. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

LETTERS Retired but not expired The RITE plan is a progressive approach
Re: RITE plan the wrong way to go (Letters Jan. 22). It is a misnomer that the CRD sewage plan is centralized or contained. The CRD plan is for a three-plant model with a treatment plant at McLoughlin Point, a biosolids plant at Hartland and plans for a second treatment plant in the West Shore. How can a single plant be the lowest cost when the minister approved a CRD plan for two plants? The RITE Plan is not advocating for a public or private model of ownership or operation and such a matter could be dealt with through a referendum process, although it must be understood that the province, in 2007, exempted sewage treatment projects from requiring the ascent of electors. While the biosolids plant at Hartland will be a P3, the publicly operated wastewater plant itself will create only

12 jobs according to CRD documents. Imagine the number of jobs that could be saved or created by finding hundreds of millions in savings from a lower cost design? Even before you consider models of ownership, it’s clearly more than 12. The RITE Plan is advocating for a decentralized model using off-the-shelf technologies that have been available for the past 10 years, examples of which are operating within Dockside Green’s treatment plant. It is a viable and cost effective alternative to the CRD’s sewage plan, which is already years out of date. Dockside Green itself is a proven success and has shown that treatment can be made compatible with people and property values, placed underground and the end product can be used to recycle water and create or enhance water features. These are the

literal downstream benefits that come after tertiary treatment is localized, yet are optional and can be developed over time. This model is a practical and natural step towards the management of water which will make neighbourhoods and new developments attractive to home buyers. In contrast, the CRD plan, at great cost, will simply flush all treated water out to sea after secondary treatment because it’s not safe enough to go anywhere else. Once again, ocean dilution must be employed which is the system we already have in place. Greater Victoria requires a progressive approach such as The RITE Plan, not a 20-year old design that offers little more than a large tax increase and a 50-year dependency on the old way of treating waste. Richard Atwell Director, The RITE Plan
Re: Lost in the mail (News Jan. 17). It seems Coun. Michelle Kirby believes that because “half the residents are over the age of 50,” Oak Bay is fast becoming an area of aged dodderers. However, in the 21st century, 50-plus year olds are in the prime of life and when not working, can be seen running and riding about the village with happy, energetic smiles on their faces. It is those of us who have exceeded the 65 or even 75-year mark who have to slow down but even then, the village centre regularly shows us busy about our business mostly unaided, wide awake and cordial in our behaviour. For Kirby to question the curtailing of home mail deliveries,
even partially, on the basis of supposed widespread frailty is false protest as is her suggestion that we need our mail deliverers to carry out daily health and safety checks on us at the same time. Give ‘em a break, because if the size of their mail bags is any indication, they have more than enough to keep them busy. As with a great many issues, the problem with community mailboxes is a matter of who will fund the cost, so please Ms. Kirby, do leave us seniors out of the equation. After all, we have for some time been making our way to a nearby collection mailbox and even as far as the village post office when we have something to send. Derrick Johns Oak Bay

Greater Victoria Senior Brenda Little, 72, has used the Monterey Recreation Centre since 2004 after moving from Dawson Creek. She soon joined the music group the NoteAbles. In 2006 she became the volunteer producer and is working on this year’s production, Enjoy Yourself as the club prepares for April performances. Her secret to keeping young is to “enjoy what your are doing at the time you are doing it and have no regrets.” Audrey McMullen, 68, is a volunteer at the Goldstream Food Bank and with the West Shore RCMP Keep In Touch program. “I volunteer so I can feel
useful,” she said. McMullen retired in 2001 and was a public health nurse in Cold Lake, Alberta. When she is not helping others she can be found square dancing at the Royal Colwood Hall or at a cabin on Galiano Island.
Assisted suicide up for debate UVic series explores legal arguments News staff
The legality of assisted suicide in Canada may not be the cheeriest topic for a night at the pub, but it is an important one considering recent legal challenges. Tonight (Jan. 29) at 6:30 p.m. the public is invited to attend a talk on the subject at the Sticky Wicket Pub (919 Douglas St.) as a part of the University of Victoria’s Centre for Aging’s Cafe Scientifique series. The talks are intended to appeal to the layman and typically start with a presentation from one or two speakers, followed by a question period, which usually leads to an informal discussion. “It’s important that people understand what is happening on the research side, and it’s important for researchers to understand what it is that community members are interested in,” said Dr. Vincenza Gruppuso, research coordinator. “It goes both ways.” Past events have touched on aging in Canada, self-management for chronic pain and other relevant topics to seniors.

associate professor in the faculty of law Maneesha Deckha will speak to recent legal developments surrounding assisted suicide. “It’s a hot button issue,” Deckha said. “If people are interested in having someone unpack the exact legal issues … they can get a fuller understanding of what’s at stake and form their own opinions of how Canada should proceed.” Using the example of Kay Carter, who travelled to Switzerland for medical help to end her life, and others, the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association filed a law-

ada, which will consider the case at some point in the future. While most argue for the constitutional right to dignity, Deckha believes an undervalued approach may be found in Sec. 15 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which focuses on equality. Canadians have a right to substantive equality, meaning where different groups of people are treated differently based on need. And because suicide is legal in Canada, it is being argued it’s a matter of equality to allow those who are not physically able to commit suicide to have access to assistance. “We should look at the particular circumstances and needs of communities and people,” Deckha said. “That’s the focus of my talk, to help people understand substantive equality. Why is this suicide a matter of equality?” Other upcoming Cafe Scientifique events include a March 3 presentation on fall prevention for aboriginal elders (at the First Peoples’ House on the UVic campus, 3800 Finnerty Rd.) and a May 7 presentation in Sidney on living with life-threatening illness.

Tribal mask found
A mask was found in front of a bank in the 2100-block of Oak Bay Ave. on Jan. 24. It was brought into the bank at 8:45 a.m. and given to the bank manager, who notified police. If you have information on the mask, or who it belongs to, contact police at 250-592-2424.
Parking enforcement difficult, costly Continued from Page A1
Coun. John Herbert said enforcement would essentially fall onto the district and would involve going to court. “The only way it sounded like it could be enforced, is if the municipality wants to go to court,” Herbert said. “That would probably cost $25,000 – and we might win or we might not win.” Paul Woolley, communications director for the ministry responsible for housing, said the Residential Tenancy Act does cover car ownership and a tenancy agreement is strictly related to the rental unit, common areas of the building and property owned by the landlord. Woolley said if a tenancy agreement does not include parking, it is up to the tenant to find parking elsewhere. A date for the public hearing on the proposed Clive redevelopment has yet to be confirmed. reporter@vicnews.com

hen Ballet BC hits the Royal Theatre this week, local dance fans will have the chance to see contemporary artists at the top of their game perform work by some of the best choreographers on the international stage. For anyone who can’t help but cheer for the underdog, Ballet BC’s triple bill is an opportunity to appreciate a great arts success story. The main character in said tale: Emily Molnar, former principal dancer, named Ballet BC’s artistic director at a time when the company was teetering on insolvency. Her vision: bring European choreographers to Vancouver and reinvent Ballet BC as a contemporary company. “We’re not making work that’s exclusive to a few people. We’re making work that resonates hopefully with a larger group of people. Having said that, our mandate is to push the art form of ballet forward and to take a contemporary perspective on our art.” All of the company’s dancers have at least 10 years of professional ballet training and a contemporary understanding of using a three-dimensional space. The methods of choreographing the works are also different from years past. She works with choreographers who also possess a questioning spirit and fascination with human potential to challenge dancers as they build movement based on thinking and feeling. “In a lot of ways we’re asking them to build that bridge between the modern dance world and the ballet world and activate them very quickly. That’s what makes it exciting to watch these dancers. They have that range.” Since 2009, Molnar has added more than 30 works to the company’s repertoire, a process in which she remains very involved at every level, from scouting emerging and established artists worldwide to logging hours in the studio alongside dancers. Ballet BC is now sought after by such

prestigious festivals as Jacob’s Pillow and presenters such as the National Arts Centre. The company was named one of 25 To Watch in 2013 by Dance Magazine and Molnar herself is being lauded for her bold vision, recently named Canada’s Dance Artist of the Year by the Globe and Mail, among a number of other distinctions. But all the accolades haven’t imbued Molnar with a sense of ease over their current standing with audiences, reviewers and funders. “Anything in life, when we move up, there’s a view down. That’s just a part of it: making sure we stay honest and we stay true and keep doing the work. This changeover that has happened in the past four years has been done with an incredible amount of dedication towards examining everything we’ve done to get to this point and everything we need to move forward.” The key to her team’s success has hinged on their love for the art form at that ability to question every move they make. The peril in which Ballet BC found itself was a gift that drove the company towards reinvention, she said. “Artists and arts organizations are flexible. We have to be. We have to be resourceful. If you’re going to think outside of the box, you have to be able to change things on a dime. ... We’ve had a lot of support but it hasn’t happened miraculously. We are not going to lose it right like that.” Ballet BC’s triple bill Jan. 30 and 31 includes Molnar’s 16 + a room, a piece that draws its inspirations from everything from the poems of Emily Dickinson, set to a textured, electronic score by Dirk P. Haubritch, a composer she met while she was working at Frankfurt Ballet with William Forsythe. Joahn Inger’s Walking Mad set to Ravel’s Bolero will also take the stage.

University of Victoria Vikes swimmer Stephanie Horner churns through the water at a recent meet. Horner, a fourthyear Vikes swimmer, was among the UVic contingent who qualified for the CIS nationals with their performances at last weekend’s Canada West championships in Calgary. Sunday, taking bronze in the 200-metre butterfly. UBC was the big winner on the weekend on the women’s side, setting a conference team record with 1,017 points overall, nearly 500 points ahead of second-place Calgary. UVic finished fifth with 272.5. The men’s team competition proved closer, with UBC taking top spot with 941 points. UVic was fourth place with 398, missing out on the podium finish by just six points behind the University of Alberta. Swimmers qualify for
Canadian Inter-University Sport nationals based on their times, meaning even those who don’t earn medals can still find themselves competing in the championships. One thing that didn’t go swimmingly for the Vikes was their flight home Sunday night, which was turned around at the Victoria International Airport due to fog and rerouted all the way back to Calgary. The nationals go Feb. 20 to 22 at the University of Toronto. kwells@goldstream gazette.com

At least three University of Victoria swimmers are looking ahead to next month’s CIS nationals in Toronto after posting five medal-winning times at the Canada West Swimming Championships at the University of Calgary last weekend. Among the Vikes making a splash at the competition was first-year UVic swimmer Jon McKay (Reynolds secondary), who medalled on the opening day with a second-place finish in the men’s 1,500metre freestyle. His time of 15 minutes, 29.61 seconds, put him just behind winner Jonathan Brown of UBC (15:27.04). Keegan Zanatta (Claremont) earned the team’s second medal, a gold in the men’s 200metre freestyle in a time of 1:47.62. The final day of competition proved to be the highlight of the weekend for the Vikes, as they added three more medals to their haul. Two-time Canadian Olympic team member Stephanie Horner (Beaconsfield, Que.) won gold for the women’s team, finishing the 200-metre butterfly in 2:13.32, and also took home a bronze in the 4x100m relay. Zanatta won his second medal of the weekend on
