Medical marijuana farm targeted for violent ‘grow-rip’
(From left) Lilly Wass, Arthur Smith and Dahlila Charlie are graduating this year. More than 100 aboriginal students are expected to graduate in the Sooke School District, its largest aboriginal grad class yet. SD 62 has become a leader in the province in high school aboriginal education and for its First Nations grad rate.
Edward Hill News staff
mont secondary, Edward Milne and West Shore Annex schools credit part of their success to aboriginal education rooms staffed with teachers and support workers. “(Aboriginal education teachers) put in more time and effort and they don’t act like it is just their job,� Wass said. “With me, home life isn’t that great, and (at school) there is someone willing to help.� Dahlila Charlie, a Grade 12 student, has spent her three years using the services in the aboriginal education room at Belmont secondary.
Police arrested three men armed with handguns and body armour who tried to rob a medical marijuana grow-op in Langford last week. West Shore RCMP and officers from the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia (CSFU-BC) had the men under surveillance, and watched them enter and leave the undisclosed Langford property in semi-rural residential neighbourhood. Uniformed RCMP officers stopped the vehicle and arrested the suspects. Officers found the ultimate grow-rip kit: body armour, a Browning 9 mm Luger, a Smith and Wesson revolver, a sledgehammer, duct tape and masks. Police say the property holds a heavily-fortified outbuilding and house that is the location of a licensed medical marijuana growing operation. No residents were home at the time of the attempted robbery. CFSU-BC spokesperson Sgt. Bill Whalen said the suspects came away from the property empty handed. In the past two weeks, West Shore RCMP and the Victoria branch of CFSU-BC have joined forces due to a number of recent, violent home invasions targeted at people in the drug trade on the West Shore.

to graduate with an 88 per cent average. “In Ontario we didn’t have an aboriginal education room. It makes a lot of difference,� said Wass said, an Edward Milne community school student. “There is someone you can go and talk to and they see if I am keeping up with my work.� This spring, SD 62 will celebrate its first graduating class with more than 100 aboriginal students. The unofficial count is at 104, up from the 51 who graduated last year. Kathleen King-Hunt, SD 62 district principal for aboriginal education, said the district has worked to integrate aboriginal curriculum into course material.
“The (aboriginal) graduate rate is something we have worked very hard at. The aboriginal enhancement agreement makes a difference in the classroom,� King-Hunt said. “Our success is not just graduation rates.� The district expects the aboriginal completion rate to continue its upward surge. Last year, 73 per cent of all aboriginal students graduated within six years starting from Grade 8, which is close to the overall average of 76 per cent for SD 62 students. The provincial aboriginal completion rate is about 51 per cent. Five years ago, only 38 per cent of aboriginal students were graduating from SD 62. First Nations students at Bel-

Court delayed for Goldstream fuel spill Edward Hill News staff
An expected guilty plea to one of the criminal charges linked to last year’s fuel truck crash outside Goldstream park is delayed until June. Lawyer Dale Marshall had last Thursday’s hearing held over until
June 7 after learning his client, James Allan Smith, was also charged with three environmental infractions related to dumping fuel in Goldstream River. Marshall admitted he was caught off guard by the new charges, which were filed with the court March 23. “We knew there was an environ-

mental review and a lot of work being done in the (Goldstream) area, but there was no indication (the Crown) was contemplating further charges,” Marshall said Thursday, shortly after reading the charge sheet for the first time. Smith is criminally charged with two counts related to impaired driving and one count of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle in the April 16, 2011, Columbia Fuels truck crash on the Malahat Drive near Goldstream park. The crash spilled 42,000 litres of gasoline and 700 litres of diesel into a culvert that empties into Goldstream River. Smith now faces two charges
The driver of the Columbia Fuels truck that crashed outside of Goldstream park now faces three environmental charges. File photo
under the Environmental Management Act of unlawfully allowing gasoline and diesel into the environment by way of a motor vehicle crash while on the job. Under the Fisheries Act, he is charged with depositing gasoline and diesel into an environ-
ment where it may enter water frequented by fish. Marshall said he wants to address both sets of charges at once in court. “They are the same incident, why not deal with them at the same time?”

Small RCMP squad works hard to keeps tabs on chronic offenders Edward Hill News staff
Unshaven, dressed in an aged grey T-shirt and jeans, Cpl. Bob Pilot projects the image of another guy coming off shift at a construction site. In a crowd he’s a forgettable face, or at least that’s the hope as he and his street crime unit track chronic criminals across the West Shore. The number of reported thefts and drug-related crimes in Langford and Colwood have been trending down over the years, in some cases significantly. But the West Shore RCMP street crime crew is never at a loss for targets. Drug dealing and property crime remain popular occupations for a small but determined segment of the population. “There is no skid row here,” Pilot observes, but there are plenty of homes and apartments trafficking in stolen goods and drugs. Similar to trends seen five years ago, police say drugs of choice in West Shore communities are powder cocaine and crack cocaine, especially among young males. Cellphones seized from coke dealers ring without end. “Coke and crack are still very popular. We haven’t seen a decrease. In fact there may be more users,” said Pilot, 48, a 22-year veteran Mountie. “You see some property crimes as a result of addiction to crack cocaine. But what we find in general is the most prolific property crime offenders have a meth addiction.” Offenders who break into a dozen cars in an evening or breakand-enter multiple homes over a week are typically feeding an all-consuming methamphetamine habit. Pilot calls it “farming” – these habitual offenders check every car door, and case every house they can in the search for

West Shore RCMP Cpl. Bob Pilot, whose face can’t be shown for operational security, leads a small crew of officers who keep tabs on some of the most prolific criminals in the region. cash or goods to sell. “Meth is the most damaging drug physically and socially and crime-wise without a doubt,” Pilot said. The West Shore RCMP street crime unit and the Regional Crime Unit both target chronic offenders, those committing the vast majority of crimes across Greater Victoria. Pilot calls it a strategy of targeting the criminal, not the crime. “Instead of going backward to solve a break-and-enter, we target offenders known to do break and enters, or drug traffickers as opposed to the users,” he said. “It’s much more effective.” Information on specific dealers and thieves is pieced together through connections with other police agencies, traffic stops by uniformed RCMP officers, reports from residents and the Crime Stoppers tip line. Confidential informants, though, are the life blood of undercover police work. Some are motivated by revenge, some for money and some for the good of the community. “Crime Stoppers can send us in a direction, but we need to corroborate that information through
surveillance and through sources,” Pilot said. “We’re always looking for people to talk to us. Without informants we can’t do our job.” Surveillance — tailing suspects in unmarked cars, watching from afar with binoculars, stuff people might see on TV cop shows — is also a daily staple for Pilot and his crew. With only three officers in street crime, occasionally the target will recognize an undercover officer who has arrested them before. But most remain oblivious to being followed around all day. When it comes time for an arrest or search warrant, the street crime unit makes sure they look more like police officers. A suspect is more likely to fight back against being robbed by a fellow criminal. Indeed, these criminal-on-criminal “drug rips” are a dangerous and growing by-product of the drug trade on the West Shore, and one of the primary ways bystanders can get hurt. In May 2011 a Langford man was beaten and pepper sprayed in a home invasion, but refused to identify his attackers. In March this
year two men tied up and robbed a suspected drug dealer in his Peatt Road apartment. “There we have a home invasion for drugs and money, but you can’t prove that at all. The victim isn’t saying that’s what happened. The victim actually ran away,” Pilot said. “Can you have a victim if he runs away?” Pilot said cases of criminals robbing other criminals happen frequently and usually aren’t reported to police. “It becomes a danger to the public if they hit apartment 101 but (the target) lives in 107. They kick down the door, beat up an innocent victim. It’s happened before, it will happen again.” Pilot said overall, the streets of the West Shore are safe, and people openly consuming and selling drugs isn’t common. But the RCMP corporal said residents need to report more often where the drug and stolen goods trade is happening — homes and apartments in residential neighbourhoods. “The more people report, the more information we have, the easier it is to move on an investigation. It’s easier to do our job.”
Victoria police busted a 33-year-old Metchosin woman for a rolling series of driving violations Saturday morning. Police saw the woman talking on her cellphone while driving at about 2 a.m. When officers followed her down Douglas Street, she turned against a red light and then drove through a second red light. Police pulled over her Ford Explorer and the woman smelled strongly of liquor. She admitted to having several drinks and was issued a 24-hour driving suspension and her vehicle was towed. She was also issued tickets for use driving while using a cellphone, going through the red light and for failing to display her “N” sign. Fines totalled $518.

Harbour ferry ready to take over Blue Boats Edward Hill News staff
A private commuter ferry was scheduled to launch 6 a.m. sharp on Tuesday morning from military property in Colwood, as the Blue Boat service sails into the sunset. The new Baseline ferry service company will shuttle civilian and military Department of National Defence staff across Esquimalt harbour during morning and evening rush hours. The 40-foot, 40 passenger boat Grey Selkie was scheduled to carry its first batch of customers on May 1 at 6 a.m. from the Colwood D jetty to Dockyard, offering a service similar to the Blue Boats. Grey Selkie will also stop at Naden during the day, timed to employee shift changes. Barry Hobbis, owner of Victoria Harbour Ferry, which operates the Baseline, said he is happy to provide a shuttle service at a price comparable to bus transit. A one-way ride is $2.50. “That (cost) works for us and we think it will work for the riders,� Hobbis said. “We worked with a number of individuals who ride the boats to ensure it’s affordable and it does what they need it to do. We tried to be careful and stay as close as reasonable with transit costs.� CFB Esquimalt decided to end the Blue Boat shuttle, first reported by the Victoria News in early March, due to the struggle to find staff for the auxiliary fleet of tugs and fire boats. In operation since 1955, Blue Boats originally shipped personnel and equipment around base property in the harbour, but evolved into a popular, and free, commuter service. About 400 military and civilian staff from the West Shore and Sooke used the ferry daily, and faced the prospect of joining the jam-packed Island Highway and Trans-Canada Highway starting May 1. Nearly 750 DND personnel responded to a survey supporting a private ferry. “It appears to be a desired

Many people told us point blank that they need it,� Hobbis said. In past months, Baseline ferry staff and its boat have been undergoing security and safety certification to work within DND property. A second boat is expected to enter operation mid May. “We had to jump through a number of hoops to meet the requirements of Her Majesty the Queen,� Hobbis said. “There was rigorous attention to detail. The base commander, Canex staff and our staff worked through it as an affective team.� In early April, Colwood entrepreneur Cynthia Cummings moved to launch a “Blue Bus� service to transport DND personnel from Colwood to Dockyard, but that effort was can-
celled in the wake of the ferry service. “I endorse the ferry service 100 per cent,� said Cummings, who is now working with Hobbis on managing Baseline. “It makes sense to offer a service people already know.� Hobbis said this DND ferry service could lay the groundwork for a civilian ferry between Colwood and Victoria, although a lot of peices would need to fall in place. “(A civilian ferry) is not out of the scope of where we might go,� he said. See victoriaharbourferry.com/ baseline for times and prices of the Baseline ferry service. The service is open to DND personnel only who are authorized to access CFB Esquimalt property in Colwood. From May 1 to 4 the service is free.
Guns, body armour big concern for police Continued from Page A1
Whalen wouldn't say how these suspects were located and targeted, other than "information on individuals involved in violent home invasions was uncovered." West Shore RCMP Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz said investigators are seeing if the three suspects have any connection to a recent home invasion in Colwood. So far, the three men only face charges related to the April 24 incident. “For us, anybody carrying
this equipment — body armour, hand guns, duct tape and masks are obviously up to no good,� Rochlitz said. “We are happy to get them into custody before anyone was harmed.� The CFSEU-BC works with law enforcement agencies across the province and targets people engaged in a violent lifestyle and in organized crime. Central Saanich, Oak Bay, Saanich, Victoria and the RCMP contribute members to the Victoria unit. Justin James Upton, Cody Fred Smith, 20, and Jake Cappello, 19, are all charged with
using a firearm during a robbery, break and enter to commit an indictable offence and two counts of unauthorized possession of a firearm. Upton and Cappello are also each charged with wearing a disguise with intent to commit an offence, while Smith is facing additional charges of resisting arrest and using a false name. Smith and Cappello were scheduled for a bail hearing on April 30 at Western Communities Courthouse and Upton is due in court on May 3. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Colwood hits budget target Kyle Wells News staff
Colwood City Council approved its budget for the 2012-2013 fiscal year, along with a property tax increase that falls below the rate of inflation. The final figure is a property tax increase of 2.8 per cent, which will work out to about $39 per average household. This is below the rate of inflation, which for Canada in 2011 averaged at 2.9 per cent, and lower than the 3.25 per cent increase in Victoria and the 2.9 per cent increase in Langford. “We’re really happy about that,” Colwood Coun. Rob Martin said. “We’re happy that we beat both Langford and Victoria as well, that they were both higher.” Martin, who chairs the strategic and financial planning committee, said that there were challenges for the city’s budgeting, including an 11 per cent
raises, also added challenging expenses, but ended up fitting into the budget. The extra officer is budgeted at $68,500, while the pay raise is expected to be only about $4,000, even though the exact cost is not yet known. “It’s not dramatic,” said Coun. Gordie Logan, protective services committee chair, “which was a pleasant surprise.” A new plotter scanner has been budgeted at $10,000. This will allow staff too “digitize and plot large format drawing used by engineering, planning and building,” said a staff report. Martin said this, along with improvements to software, will help speed up processing development permits. “So we’re doing a lot of really positive things in Colwood, as well as trying to control our costs,” said Martin. “I think both staff and council can be really proud of what we’ve done.” news@goldstreamgazette.com
“We’re happy that we beat both Langford and Victoria as well, that they were both higher.” –Colwood Coun. Rob Martin hike to its West Shore Parks and Recreation contribution and a similar increase for the Greater Victoria Public Library. “Even with these increases and us controlling these costs ... we’ve been able to do some pretty strong things this next year, or budget at least for them.” Among the supplementary requests approved were $7,000 for the school crossing guard program and $5,000 for grave site repairs at Colwood Pioneer Cemetery.

‘Sick building’ at UVic linked to chronic health problems Kyle Slavin News staff
Mary-Louise Leidl approached the University of Victoria’s Sedgewick Building in late 2003 for a job interview, feeling a balance of anxiety and optimism. She stepped out of the December cold into the 1969-era building, but from the first rush of warm air that greeted her, Leidl could tell something was amiss. “I noticed right away a musty smell. I remember standing there thinking: ‘Should I even continue with this? Should I go to the interview?’” she recalls. “I should’ve paid attention to that, in retrospect.” The co-op student successfully got a job in the UVic communications department (UCom) in December 2003. Before the first work week was up, she developed health concerns, which she says were “completely out of my realm of experience.” “I was feeling totally exhausted. I remember on the (first) Friday evening sleeping for 12 hours — I had never done that in my life,” Leidl says. She brought her health concerns to the attention of her work and co-op supervisors, as well as her doctor. She asked her colleagues whether they had ever “experienced anything unusual working there” and got mixed answers. She even wrote to university president David Turpin expressing her concerns after her work experience ended. Leidl was not alone. Since 2000 many UVic employees (the school won’t say exactly how

WorkSafeBC says the University of Victoria failed to protect the health and safety of employees working in the Sedgewick Building, after mould and high levels of carbon dioxide were found inside the building. many) have filed complaints about health concerns developed while working in Sedgewick. According to WorkSafeBC, UCom is where most of the serious health concerns originate. A critical report from WorkSafeBC, released April 17, says the university has failed to protect the health and safety of its employees under the Workers Compensation Act (WCA) after high levels of mould and carbon dioxide were found in the Sedgewick building in late 2009. “The employer has been receiving these complaints for a number of years, and, to date, has failed to fully investigate the known and unknown airborne contaminates,” wrote WorkSafeBC prevention officer Dawn Ianson. CO2 levels inside were elevated — possibly due to shutting down the building’s HVAC system, which pumps stale air out and fresh air in. Mould spore counts were 31 times higher inside Sedgewick than outside. These findings came in December 2009, when the university took air quality tests and fungi samples in Sedgewick for the first time. Richard Piskor, the university’s director of occupational health, safety and the environment, says the delay came because it took nine years to identify similarities in the types of complaints the university was receiving. “Our perception of it, at the time, was these were individual complaints. We certainly see, right at this point in time, there are a number of individuals that WorkSafeBC has identified who have common complaints,” he says. “Certainly by 2009, it was clear something needed to be done to address the complaints that we were hearing in Sedgewick.” Ianson writes that, while the university has taken steps since 2009, “the area remains without adequate housekeeping and, in discussions with workers, … there remains chronic health/wellness concerns.” WorkSafeBC only became aware of the issue in June 2011, when an employee fell ill and filed a claim, says spokesperson Donna Freeman. Ianson issued four orders that the university must comply with by May 31. “We’ve done our utmost to address the situation as it’s come up,” Piskor says. “There are certainly things we can improve, and we are certainly moving forward to improve our processes. “We have a compliance plan that we will be putting together over the next few weeks. And we will be engaging a consultant to go through and do this work.”

Spring break to remain at one week for Sooke district SD 62 to mull change to teaching calendar Kyle Wells News staff
Sooke Board of Education has voted to keep its spring break one week long and not extend it to two weeks, as other districts have. Board chair Wendy Hobbs said that there is no concern on the part of the board about the district being out of step with the Greater Victoria School District, which has a two week break. “Not at all. We weren’t doing this decision to stay in line with the other school districts,” Hobbs said. “For us it was an individual school district decision and we just felt that there were not enough compelling reasons to change it at this point.” Input from the public came in a number of ways. Hobbs said that responses were
split fairly evenly in regards to arguments for or against extending the break, but ultimately the board did not believe there to be a valid reason to make a change. “Nothing really convinced us that going to a two-week break was beneficial at this point.” This may be a moot point, however, as it looks like the structure of the entire school year will soon be reexamined. Last week the Ministry of Education announced that it is scraping the standard school year calendar. The move is intended to give districts more flexibility in how they schedule their year and has the potential to bring an end to standard summer holidays in some districts. A minimum number of instructional hours will stillneed to be met. “Enabling greater flexibility and choice is a key component of B.C.’s Education Plan,” Education Minister George Abbot said in a press release. “These amendments to the School Act will provide
“For the government to arbitrarily throw out the suggestion that we’re going to move into year-round schooling ... seems ludicrous.” –Patrick Henry Sooke Teachers’ Association president
school districts with additional tools to support personalized learning.” Hobbs said that the Sooke board of education will discuss forming a committee at its next meeting, on May 22, to look into the decision and decide how to approach the change. Before that happens Hobbs couldn’t speculate on if the district will make any changes to its teaching schedule. “All I can really say at this point,” Hobbs said, “is that
next board meeting the trustees will discuss setting up a committee to learn about the new way of doing the school calendar and that we will get all of our partners in the education community to take part in it and see where it goes from there.” Sooke Teachers’ Association president Patrick Henry said changes to the school year isn’t a new idea and he questions the Education Ministry’s timing for making the announcement. Considering that teachers and the government are in the middle of a legislated one-year “cooling off” period, Henry said it’s inappropriate to be introducing such changes. “It’s something that cries out for consultation,” Henry said. “For the government to arbitrarily throw out the suggestion that we’re going to move into year-round schooling without fulsome public debate seems ludicrous. It seems like it’s been presented as a fait accompli, not a discussion paper.” news@goldstreamgazette.com

“They are just so supportive and they have connections with all the students,” Charlie said. “It gives us our own space in the school. School is important and culture is important. Here the two are together and that’s awesome.” Charlie is so grateful for the help she has received from the program, she has begun mentoring other aboriginal students at Spencer middle school. She is attending summer programs at Emily Carr University and applied for the University of Victoria visual arts program. Kathy Sudlow, an aboriginal education teacher at Edward Milne, said the aboriginal education room is classified as an all-nations room and students from any background are welcome to use its services. “If you are in a class with 30 kids, how many times are you going to put your hand up when you still don’t get it?” Sudlow said. “Often when kids come for help, they get me to themselves.” With education space and an enhancement agreement that establishes a strong aboriginal component in the classroom, SD 62 has become a leader in the province for aboriginal eduction. SD 62 has the highest aboriginal grad rate on the Island and is ranked No. 1 in the province

Workplace health a serious issue T
o some, “sick building syndrome” sounds like an invented phrase designed to create a new industry. But to those who have experienced health problems at work, the broad label — it was first coined in the 1970s — was music to their ears. It was a recognition that such annoying symptoms as sore throats or eyes, dry cough and even fatigue, that seemed to disappear upon leaving a building, may indeed have been a result of something other than their personal health care outside the office. Last week a WorkSafe B.C. report called out the University of Victoria for not adequately protecting the health and safety of its employees in the Sedgewick building, home to UVic’s communications department. Mould spores and high carbon dioxide levels were determined to be contributing to symptoms experienced by employees working there. While UVic conducted its own tests as far back as 2009, following numerous complaints from staff, WorkSafe, which received a complaint about conditions at Sedgewick in 2011, found in its investigation that not enough had been done to remedy air quality problems in the building. In these days of economic uncertainty, people are fearful of losing their jobs if they complain and are often reluctant to speak up when working conditions are less than ideal. It takes great courage for an employee to stand up for their right to a healthy work environment, especially when the source of illness or discomfort is not immediately apparent. It also takes courage for a manager to do the right thing, even if that means spending money on something not in the budget. As with the staff financial information theft that prompted the university to tighten up its security, UVic, one of Canada’s top employers, has an opportunity to show leadership in the community by getting to the bottom of the Sedgewick problems. It can go one better by instituting a policy for all its buildings, even the newer ones, to ensure environmental health concerns are taken seriously. What do you think?

according to the old first-past-the post method. The second ballot is a vote for a party. Members are chosen from each party’s list according to the number of votes. Representation in parliament is compounded from the two methods. Kiwi-style democratization would cause far-reaching change in Canada’s political landscape, despite knee-jerk objections. Yes, tiny New Zealand differs from big Canada: 4 million versus 33 million, unitary state versus federal state. But the main point is making people’s wishes come true, regardless of size and complexity. Among the all-province popular causes currently blocked and stymied by Canada’s Conservative federal government are legalizing marijuana, sharpening the efficiency, reach and sensitivity of public health care, and putting a stop to health care privatization. With wider minor-party representation, even the Tories arguably would be forced to translate the people’s will into law. What happens when the people are in a state of self-conflicted denial, loving cars but hating pipelines and dirty air and — in Alberta — loving oily jobs and profits? That’s a tougher problem for another day. Political and technological thinkers are working on it. gemort@pacificcoast.net —G.E.

drop by almost half. And around Quesnel, producers say an economic supply of dead pine will be there for only another year and a half. This document and a subsequent proposal to cabinet set out the options. They include relaxing visual quality areas, old-growth management zones and wildlife connectivity corridors. This is not as drastic as it sounds, given that the first areas to be opened up would be those where many of the trees are already dead. Most beetle-affected areas have a substantial proportion of live trees. If decade-old dead trees were subsidized for biofuel use, this would support harvest and hauling of healthy sawlogs along with them.

There is also the prospect of awarding unassigned timber to “a single representative of the six First Nations in the Lakes TSA.” Speaking to forest scientists who work in B.C., a couple of things become clear. This pine beetle epidemic may be the largest on record, but it is far from the first. And despite many assertions by former premier Gordon Campbell, it is not certain if this one is the result of a broader climate trend or just a string of warmer winters after decades of fire suppression kept older stands around. Lodgepole pine forests are fire-propagated. The term “old growth” has little meaning in a cycle of natural fires that doesn’t occur in wetter zones.
But none of this will matter much in the urban political debate that is about to ensue. “Old growth” is now a quasireligious notion. International environmental groups have convinced most people that logging is the primary cause of forest loss. In fact, the UN’s “State of the World’s Forests” reports have shown that 95 per cent of global forest loss is due to agriculture. Forest cover is increasing in industrialized countries, which use farmland more efficiently. The B.C. Liberal government needs to make some tough decisions quickly, before next year’s election. The premier’s vow to “create and defend” jobs is about to be tested like never before. tfletcher@blackpress.ca —Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com.
LETTERS E&N rail has potential for freight, tourism, commuters Great news that some essential funding has come to the E&N railway, and will help the Island Corridor Foundation to demonstrate that this railway can be very useful to residents of the Island. By the way, the Island Corridor Foundation didn’t just happen 10 or so years ago — it took a small group of forward thinking Island people to bring it into being. I was a member of that group and must point out that most of the credit goes to Tanner Elton, who conceptualized the foundation through a round table process involving all concerned parties, including First Nations. Hopefully Graham Bruce, the current chief operating officer of the ICF, will actively bring forth some of the better operating proposals for the E&N, ones that were originally put forward to augment regular freight, as a basis for the structure of the ICF model when it was put in place. A most important proposal was a winwin situation for both the railway and the Island in general. That is for the E&N to convey solid waste from collection points
along the line between Victoria, Port Alberni and Courtenay to a central thermal electrical generating facility located mid Island. We on the Island produce daily more than enough solid waste material to feed such a plant. Why, the Greater Victoria area alone produces about 350 tons daily, and Hartland Road dump has a limited life left. The second proposal is rail tourism. A train of privately owned, high quality, restored and safety certified 1930s heavyweight passenger cars, a diner and observations are available, presently stored in New Westminster. For both these proposals, though, the E&N-ICF will have to take the initiative and lead in developing them. The third proposal is commuter services. In Victoria, the E&N line into town from Langford to Victoria is the natural and most sensible choice. But it could be endangered. Is it possible that the taxpaying public should be asking if there might be some kind of a connection between the mayors of Saanich and Victoria and the developers of the Uptown mall. Some fear these guys are deliberately
playing down the existing E&N route so as to blast away a billion dollars on a rail line down Douglas Street directly to the Uptown mall. Oh, and a note to the ICF people. This island railway has a long established identity, known as The E&N Railway. Several years ago, Island Farms did a wonderful job of promoting this railway to one and all as the “E&N.” Thousands of Vancouver Islanders relate to the railway under this identity. Don’t rename it but capitalize on what is already known and recognized. Ken Showers Metchosin
Big decisions in pipeline for B.C.’s environment Re: Contradictions plague enviro movement, B.C. Views, April 25, 2012. After reading the tabloid journalistic attack on David Suzuki by legislative reporter Tom Fletcher, it made we wonder if he is also being paid by the B.C. Liberal party’s communication department.

Vision Matters Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.
d in Featu'sr eflyer today Dr. Brent Morrison, Dr. Sara Buckley, Dr. Cameron McCrodan, Dr. Ann-Marie Stewart and Dr. Chris Snow
Mature eyes & computers: Are they compatible? Viewing a computer screen clearly and comfortably can be a challenge for users experiencing agerelated vision changes. People over 50 may require prescription eyeglasses designed specifically for computer use. Regular bifocal lenses can provide good distance and near vision but do not function well at those intermediate distances where the computer screen is often positioned. Options for computer users range from monovision or bifocal contact lenses to glasses focused for intermediate and near distance, wide-band trifocals, or even specially designed progressive lenses. Another source of irritation for older computer users can be dry eye. Aging tends to make the eye drier, and this condition can be aggravated by the tendency of computer users to stare at the screen and therefore blink less often. Artificial tears can bring relief. Mature computer users should discuss their requirements and vision-related difficulties with their optometrist, who can find them the best solution.

There have been problems recently with leaks from residential heating oil storage tanks in Saanich. Here is some information from the B.C. Ministry of Environment that may be useful: On properties under provincial jurisdiction, all underground storage tanks, and above ground tanks over 2,500 litres are regulated under the B.C. Fire Code (BCFC). A provision in the BCFC states that an owner is required to follow good engineering practices when removing, abandoning in place, or temporarily taking out of service a residential heating oil storage tank. To avoid potential liability, prospective

home buyers may wish to: • Have the property inspected for fill pipes, vent pipes, feed tubes, etc.; • Have purchasing offers subject to inspection by a building inspector and/ or underground storage tank locator; • Have an environmental consultant provide an estimate for removal, investigation and/or remediation and include this as a discount on the purchase price; • Include the tank removal and remediation as a condition of sale. Property owners may wish to: • Have their property inspected, in order to identify any oil tanks and to minimize the risk of leaks or spills; • Retain a qualified environmental professional to investigate their property during the removal of a heating oil tank and have the professional prepare a report indicating that the property meets ministry standards via endorsed methods from the Ministry of Envrionment. If your heating oil tank has leaked, you should take immediate action to stop the leak, and clean up the affected area. The BCFC requires a property owner to take all reasonable steps to recover escaped flammable or combustible liquids and to remove or treat contaminated soil located on the property. If the tank is unused or abandoned, any remaining heating oil should be removed by a qualified contractor and taken to an approved facility for disposal. Paul Gerrard Saanich councillor

And if you belief his greenwashing on these important environmental issues that David Suzuki and hundreds of other reputable scientists around the world are telling us, I suppose you will believe the political spin an additional $400,000 of direct awarded tax dollars will give you. I wonder if Mr. Fletcher agrees with our federal government muzzling our Canadian scientists by not permitting them to say anything that contravenes the Harper spin. Another “Earth Day” has come and gone with this year marking the 23rd anniversary of the day when a drunken captain steered the Exxon Valdez into the rocks creating the worst ongoing ecological tragedy that North America’s coastline has ever experienced. Has our society really learned anything from this environmental tragedy as our federal government paves the way for the same risks on British Columbia’s pristine northern coastal waters? Months ago our prime minister met with Chinese leaders promising them that the Enbridge pipeline will be built and not to worry about any opposition to it. Meanwhile Kinder Morgan has been quietly going through the federal government approval process (or should I say lack of process) to almost triple the volume of oil to be shipped by super tankers through our busy and already environmentally pressured south coastal
waters. Kinder Morgan appears to be taking advantage of public attention being focused on the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal. As we try to form our own opinions from all the versions of political spin and as our federal government makes unilateral decisions on Canada’s long term future, I still have hope and optimism that the people in our democracy will have the final say in the decisions that truly mean the most to future generations of Canadians. Unlike in China where these rights are not an option. Gary Neilson Langford

Domestic violence team investigates serious stabbing A Victoria woman is in police custody after police say she stabbed her boyfriend last Thursday night. Victoria officers responded to an apartment suite in the 2600block of Prior St. at 11:45 p.m. after receiving a 9-1-1 call from a man who said he had been stabbed. Officers arrived to find the man unconsciousness and bleeding profusely from a single chest wound, said Victoria police spokesperson Mike Tucker. The 24-year-old was rushed to hospital for emergency surgery. By Friday afternoon, the man was in stable but serious condition. His 30-year-old partner was arrested inside the residence. She is facing aggravated assault charges. The investigation has been turned over to the Regional Domestic Violence Unit.

Seven players of the Westshore Rebels football team are among the first junior football players to ever participate in a B.C. Lions evaluation camp. “If you play really well, then you could go onto the main (B.C. Lions) camp,” said Niles Goguen, a Rebels running back. This will be Goguen’s third season with the Rebels. The Rebels players are stoked to be invited to the camp. The opportunity to play for the Lions, “is a dream come true,” said Rebels running back Greg Morris, who has starting his second season with the team. Kyle Daeschel, Rob Smith, Sam Narkaj, Colton Fargo and Quinn Van Gylswyk were also scheduled to attend the evaluation camp in Vancouver over Sunday and Monday. Across the province, 24 B.C. Junior Football League players have been invited for evaluation by the Lions. “If we lose our best players to this I am actually happy,” said Rebels president Roger Wade. “These guys work really hard. They didn’t just fall out of the pickup and be really good players. “Normally the camp is just for (Canadian Interuniversity Sport) players,” Wade continued. “The B.C. Lions find junior football is a really good place to find players.” Last weekend the West Shore Rebels hosted its own training camps, with Rebels alumni helping the players run drills and prepare for the upcoming season starting in August.

Greg Morris hustles at the Rebels spring camp at Bear Mountain stadium last Friday. Calgary Stampeders fullback and Rebels alumni Rob Cote holds the padding while lending a hand during the camp. Rob Cote was at Bear Mountain Stadium on the past weekend helping the Rebels with their game. He played for the Rebels for two years in 2005 and 2006. “I love the Rebels, I am a Rebel for life,” he said. Other returning Rebels alumni and current CFL players include
“Now we are lining up with a bunch of men. We don’t have a bunch of kids who are crawling, walking and running.” –John Cardilicchia Rebels coach
Jesse Newman, an offensive guard for the B.C. Lions, and Timmy O’Neil, a centre for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, as well as the the TigerCats coach Tim Kearse. “This is one of the most exciting weekends of the year,” said Rebels coach John Cardilicchia. “I am excited about the recruits but this year I gotta say I am more excited about our veterans. Now we are lining up with a bunch of men. “We don’t have a bunch of kids who are crawling, walking and running. We get a bunch of men who can go to war.”
Double bogey: Golf second sport to be cancelled Travis Paterson News sports
With a heavy heart, Claremont secondary teacher Darren Reisig spoke about the April 25 cancellation of B.C.’s high school senior golf A, AA and AAA provincials. The tournaments had been scheduled for May 29 to June 1 in Surrey, Radium and Kamloops, respectively. The cancellations are part of the B.C. Teacher’s Federation protest against Bill 22. Mountain biking was the first casualty, announced on April 24, while boys rugby, badminton, tennis and girls soccer were voted to continue on. As of Monday, the fate of track and field was still being decided. Reisig is hoping the upcoming
Victoria Police Tournament for Lower Island high school golfers won’t be cancelled. As many as 72 golfers are expected for the shotgun tourney, today (May 2) at Olympic View Golf Club on the West Shore. “I hope people honour their commitment to the police tournament just because so much work has gone into it already,” Reisig said. As of Thursday, Reisig was in the process of trying to find out if there is enough of a reason to hold the Lower Islands, including the AAA. Though high school golf in B.C. is not among the top sports for getting athletes post-secondary scholarships – in the way that basketball and volleyball do – it all helps, Reisig said.
Former Claremont golfer Megan Woodland, now a third-year golfer with the University of Victoria, is in the midst of an outstanding varsity career and is a recipient of financial assistance for her success both on the greens and academically. Woodland recently finished first overall at the Association of Independent Institutions Championship in Arizona and was named the Vikes 2011-12 female athlete of the year. Golf’s cancellation was a nonfactor for a pair of Grade 12 Reynolds secondary golfers, Matthew Broughton and Sean Hay, in terms of earning post-secondary financial assistance. Both committed to the Vikes men's golf program for the 2012-13 season. sports@goldstreamgazette.com
IN BRIEF
An Olympic future seems certain for upand-coming Victoria rower Patricia Obee though she might have to wait a little longer. Last week, 20-yearold Obee lost in a headto-head race against 37-year-old Tracy Cameron at Elk Lake. Cameron earned the second-spot in Canada’s lightweight double for the London Games, with Victoria’s Lindsay Jennerich already selected for the boat. Cameron and Jennerich won gold at the 2010 world rowing championships but Cameron was injured for last year’s worlds. That’s when Obee paired with Jennerich and won silver.
Highlanders in, Gordon Head out The defending provincial soccer champs are seeking back-to-back titles. The Victoria Highlanders under-21 men’s team defeated Rino’s Vancouver 5-3 in the semifinal at Andy Livingstone park in Vancouver on Sunday (April 29). Sam Prette, Tarnvir Bhandal, Bryan Taylor, Gareth Langdon and Jyotish Khanna scored for the Highlanders. The Highlanders will face the Port Moody Gunners, who downed Gordon Head 6-4, in the other semifinal.
Kenyans top two in TC 10K run Kip Kangogo (29:51) and Willy Kimosop (30:05) of Kenya finished first and second, respectively, at Sunday’s (April 29) TC 10-km in downtown Victoria. Sidney’s Lucy Smith finished second among the women, 42 seconds back of winner Natasha Wodak-Fraser (Port Moody, 34:32.

DRINKING WATER WEEK
Here in BC we often take our tap water for granted, but it is a finite resource that we should value and protect.
Take the challenge and WIN!
MAY 13-19
We need to value our drinking water methods in your area. We invite you to get involved and learn more about your water. Start by taking the Community Water Challenge and pledge to be water wise. By incorporating practical actions into our daily routines, we can make a difference. Visit www.drinkingwaterweek.org to find out about Drinking Water Week events in your area, and to download activities and educational resources provided by BC Water & Waste Association.
BlendTec Total Blender
drinkingwaterweek.org/challenge Be Water Wise: ■ Limit your shower time to 5 minutes per day. ■ Install a low-flow fixture or appliance. Look for the WaterSense label on retail shelves across BC. ■ Return unused or expired medications to the pharmacy for proper disposal. ■ Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth, shaving and doing dishes. ■ Dispose of household wastes such as cleaners, paints and grease responsibly, instead of putting them down your sink or toilet.
True and False: Test your water knowledge – take the quiz!
Did You Know?
1. British Columbians use more water than other Canadians.

2. Fats, oils and grease may be properly disposed of down drains or toilets.

3. The best way to achieve a healthy lawn is by watering lightly several times a week.

■ 26% of British Columbians have no idea where the water that flows from their tap comes from.* ■ The average Canadian uses 329 litres of water per day. However, the average Canadian thinks they only use 132 litres per day.* ■ We use up to 50% more water in the summertime when people are watering their lawns and gardens.** *2011 Canadian Water Attitudes Study, commissioned by RBC and Unilever Canada **BC Stats 2009

Jewelry, replica handgun recovered following jewelry heist Erin McCracken News staff
Police have recovered much of the jewelry stolen during a daring mid-morning robbery last Thursday. Investigators also found a replica handgun in a suite at the Bedford Hotel Thursday night, hours after two men and a female associate, all from Vancouver, were arrested following a jewelry heist. Around 10:30 a.m. that day, police were called to Paul Mara Jewellers at 657 Fort St., where two men allegedly sprayed staff with bear spray, smashed glass cabinets and grabbed an unknown quantity of jewelry and other valuables.
“(Bystanders) told us exactly where they went, gave us good descriptions. It certainly played a key role in leading us to the hotel.” –Const. Mike Russell Victoria police
Two police canine unit officers, their dogs and members of the Victoria police Emergency Response Team combed the hotel, floor by floor.
The suspects were eventually found hiding on the hotel’s rooftop, at 1:30 p.m. The Victoria Fire Department was called in to bring the men down from the roof
in the bucket of a ladder truck. Police also apprehended a 21-year-old female inside the hotel. Russell said she did not take part in the robbery,
but is an associate of the two men. Michael Werner and Dominic Oyango, both from Vancouver, face charges of robbery with a weapon, and
numerous counts of breach of probation. Amanda Shier, also from Vancouver, faces charges of possession of property obtained by crime. TELUS AUTHORIZED DEALERS

Upon arrival, officers followed a trail of helpful bystanders who witnessed two 27-year-old suspects fleeing the jewelry store on foot. “They told us exactly where they went, gave us good descriptions. It certainly played a key role in leading us to the hotel,” said Const. Mike Russell, Victoria police spokesperson. “There was people running after (the suspects).” While some officers watched over the jewelry store, where paramedics treated staff who had been sprayed, others tracked the suspects to the Bedford Regency Hotel at 1140 Government St., where they were registered guests. Concerned about reports that the men were armed with a firearm, police closed off a section of Government Street around the hotel, between Trounce Alley and Fort Street, as well as a section of Yates Street. “We had to make sure everyone was out of sight and out of range of a firearm,” Russell said.
