Getting to Grad Langford teen regains her health and earns her Dogwood diploma Charla Huber News staff

Charla Huber/News staff

Erika Landry, front, and her mother Joann Landry prepare for graduation ceremonies at Belmont secondary school. Last June, Erika received a kidney transplant delaying her chance to earn her high school diploma.

On Saturday, Erika Landry will get ready to slip into a gown and receive her diploma.

It’s a far cry from this time last year when she was preparing to receive a new kidney from an anonymous living donor.

After three years of battling kidney disease and other repercussions related to her illness, Landry was able to return to Belmont secondary school full time this year.

On June 2, she’ll join 400 of her classmates for Belmont’s graduation ceremonies at the University of Victoria.

“It’s pretty exciting to graduate. It took a while,” said Landry. “I was really worried about not graduating.”

This year, she filled her course load with only academic courses and even signed up with the out-of-school program to gain an additional four credits.

“Erika has struggled through (nearly) insurmountable odds, she’s always been a trooper and given back to the school when she could,” said Belmont principal Carl Repp.

“She has been a really solid student and one of this year’s high points will be to see her make it to graduation.”

While most teens spend their high school years hanging with friends and enjoying the last years of carefree fun, Landry spent hundreds of days in hospital. She missed more school than she attended and faced bullying when she did go to school.

A peak into the past View Royal earmarks money to preserve historic lime kiln Kyle Wells News staff

S

tanding just under seven metres tall, with a base four metres wide, View Royal’s historic lime kiln is a massive structure.

It’s been marked for preservation by town council, who have ponied up $25,000 to start the process.

Silica Brick and Lime Company Ltd., owned by Thomas Atkins, built the kiln circa 1908 and used it up until sometime in the 1940s. Since then it has sat undisturbed on a parcel of land on Hart Road, while development has gone on all around it.

The problem is, in its current state, it’s falling apart and hard to see from the road. There’s also no access to the public. The bricks are getting a little crumbly and the sheet metal that surrounds the chimney has corroded to the point it has mostly fallen off the structure. It is surrounded by trees and bush. One tree has even grown up through the kiln and out the chimney.

Now, with the help of a heritage consultant and View Royal’s financial commitment, the kiln will receive much needed tending and be opened up for the public to visit and learn from.

“It’s amazing it survived like this at all, if you left it much longer it wouldn’t,” said Donald Luxton, of Donald Luxton and Associates Inc. “So (they need to) go in, stop the growth of the trees, remove biological matter, start the conservation process. And then if it takes five, 10, 15 years – whatever it takes, work towards the goal.”

The kiln was used to process limestone, common in the area, into a powered lime, a primary component in mortar at the time.

The kiln would heat the limestone, in a process called calcination, until it became reduced to quicklime (calcium oxide).

Water is then added which turns the lime into a powder, ready to be used in mortar, plaster and other products.

There were numerous lime kilns scattered throughout Greater Victoria, before industrialized methods of lime production and the advent of Portland cement (an improved product that continues to be used today) made small scale operations financially unsustainable.

Now they are hard to find, especially one’s that are still standing.

“Absolutely rare. There’s very, very few of them around,” said Luxton, who hopes the story of the kiln and the general industrial history of the area can be told to visitors of the site.

Interpretation will be a key element of the refurbish, either through signs, or even more technologically advanced methods such as cellphone apps or QR codes.

“It’s one thing to have the artifact, which is great,” Luxton said, “but the whole point of this is it’s there to tell us something, and that’s why we would go to the trouble of conserving it.”

Counc. John Rogers spearheaded the conservation process and said he applauds the rest of council for understanding the significance of the site.

“It’s our background, what we celebrate and why View Royal exists,” said Rogers. “It’s such a rare structure, being intact like this, it gives us an opportunity, and the region an opportunity to remember its history.” news@goldstreamgazette.com

View Royal councillor John Rogers spearheaded the town’s effort to put money towards preserving a historic lime kiln that speaks to the industrial roots of the area.

Fire departments make smooth switch to Saanich dispatch centre View Royal and Colwood complete their move to Saanich’s fire dispatch Kyle Wells News staff

Kyle Slavin/News staff

Saanich fire chief Mike Burgess, centre, speaks to the media while Colwood fire chief Russ Cameron, left, and View Royal fire chief Paul Hurst listen. The chiefs held a joint press conference to speak about the importance of unifying fire dispatch centres. On May 23, Saanich began providing full dispatch service for View Royal and Colwood.

As of 10 a.m. on Wednesday, May 23 both the Colwood and View Royal fire departments made the switch from Langford to the Saanich fire dispatch service.

The switch went smoothly and within hours of the changeover several emergency calls had been taken by Saanich and “seamlessly dispatched to the two municipal fire departments under the new system,” said a statement from the City of Colwood.

The two municipalities decided to change dispatch services earlier this year, citing dissatisfaction with the Langford dispatch, which is under the purview of the Capital Regional District. Colwood and View Royal had been with Langford dispatch for nearly 25 years.

A five-year contract with Saanich will increase costs for the municipalities but having access to more advanced technology in Saanich makes it worthwhile, proponents say.

“This progressive move to a modern dispatch centre at a responsible cost to our taxpayers will improve fire department response efficiencies,” stated Colwood fire chief Russ Cameron.

The move comes with some controversy as the CRD looks to upgrade the facilities in Langford at an estimated cost of $100,000 – an initiative Colwood Mayor Carol Hamilton has openly opposed.

Langford councillor Denise Blackwell has said it’s “unfortunate” View Royal and Colwood decided to switch dispatches and not wait for the upgrades.

Langford dispatch services 16 fire departments including Metchosin, Highlands, Sooke and Port Renfrew, along with a number of Gulf Islands. news@goldstreamgazette.com

No excuses during bike to work week Kyle Wells News staff

The good weather is here and with it comes the loss of a whole lot of excuses of why you can’t bicycle to work.

Taking advantage of this is the Bike to Work Week event, currently being celebrated this year in 26 communities throughout the province from Monday, May 28 to Sunday, June 3.

The West Shore is part of Bike to Work Week Victoria. Despite the distances for those who work downtown, there have still been many people hopping on their two wheels and heading to work.

To kick off the campaign on Monday, organizers of Bike to Work Week hosted a Celebration Station on the Galloping Goose trail in Colwood.

Executive director Frank Hudson handed out juice and snacks to commuters at the temporary pit stop. Bike mechanics were also available for those who needed a tune up or air in their tires.

Hudson lives in the Glen Lake area and commutes by bicycle. He said it’s good to see cyclists commuting from the West Shore and taking advantage of the infrastructure that exists.

“When you think of the trails, when you think of what Langford has done with ... all of the bike lanes, it’s fantastic,” said Hudson. “You arrive at work a lot fresher, you save a ton of money and it’s better for the environment.”

Another Celebration Station popped up at Veterans Memorial Park on Thursday.

Kyle Wells/News staff

Amy and Curtis Dearden beat two vehicles commuting from Langford to their workplaces in and around downtown Victoria, during a Bike to Work Week Commuter Challenge.

Cyclists beat motorists On May 23, Bike to Work Week held a Commuter Challenge, which compared times for people getting to work by bicycle and by vehicle.

One Langford couple, Amy and Curtis Dearden, took part in the challenge and, on their bicycles, raced two vehicles to their respective destinations in and around downtown Victoria. The couple won by about six minutes. Amy said their vehicle opponents got about as far Thetis Park before hitting heavy traffic and slowing to a crawl. Even with taking a break to help a third teammate who had a flat tire and had to bow out, the couple still managed to reach their destination faster.

“Shows you how slow the crawl can be,” Amy Dearden said.

They each reached their respective destinations in about 22 minutes. Granted, both have experience with bicycle racing, but they promise that even the most amateur of riders are capable of making it to work within 15 minutes of when they would arrive by car.

Throughout the year the Deardens can be found commuting to work by bicycle. Heavy snow is about the only thing that stops them, or after-work chores that require a vehicle. By cycling, they have managed to go from owning two cars to one, and are clearly noticing the money saved in fuel costs.

“Most mornings, it doesn’t matter the weather, I don’t even think about it, I just get on my bicycle,” said Curtis Dearden. “Sometimes, when you have to drive, you kind of miss it. You get to work and you haven’t had the fresh air, and you haven’t had that little bit of exercise.”

“I think it’s the fresh air, it’s just so much nicer. I feel like I’m more awake when I get to work,” Amy Deardon said.

During the winter the couple typically only see a few other people cycling to downtown from the West Shore. The volume picks up in the spring and into the summer, when the weather is better and you can cycle to and from work in the light of day.

“Try to start around now and even just make a target of two or three days a week,” Curtis Dearden said. “Get into it over the summertime.” news@goldstreamgazette.com

Kyle Wells/News staff

Joel Matwijejko, a bike mechanic with Coastal Cycles, performs a tune up on the Galloping Goose Trail in Colwood.

Commuter tips “You’re more likely to do it if it feels good, right?” said year-round cycling commuter Amy Dearden. “So having the right equipment is important.”

■ A helmet is a must. And lights, if you are going to ride at night.

■ Having a road bicycle, versus a heavier, harder to ride mountain bike, will make for an easier commute.

■ Make sure to have fenders and rain gear for less-than-ideal weather ■ Be sure there’s enough air in your tires, for a smoother and easier ride ■ Look out for vehicles. Assume they don’t see you and be careful when passing cars on the right.

■ Choose a good route, give yourself enough time and enjoy the journey.

A West Shore RCMP cruiser blocks the driveway of a home in the 1500 block of Millstream Rd., in Highlands. Police are investigating an unexplained death after a body was found on Monday night.

Charla Huber News staff

The body of an adult male was found at a home in the 1500-block of Millstream Rd., Monday evening (May 28).

The body was discovered outside the home shortly after 7:20 p.m., when neighbours, who hadn’t seen the 55-year-old male resident in several days, decided to check in on him.

When they arrived at the home they found a dead adult male outside. RCMP have not confirmed the identity of the body.

“The death occurred several days earlier,” said Sgt. Max Fossum, of West Shore RCMP. The Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit and a RCMP Forensic Identification Section were called in to help with the investigation. On Wednesday, the B.C.

Coroners Service was still working to identify the body and the cause of death.

An RCMP cruiser blocked the 400-metre driveway from traffic as the investigation continued Tuesday (May 29).

“There is nothing to show public safety is at risk in Highlands,” Fossum said.

When the body is identified, next-ofkin will be notified before the name is released. reporter@goldstreamgazette.com

Pearson president sets out to mirror journey he made 35 years ago

June 7 - 10

THURSDAY

Kyle Wells News staff

Midway open 3 pm - 11 pm

Thirty-five years ago, David Hawley cycled from coast to coast across North America.

Hawley, the current president of Metchosin’s Pearson College, was 19 when he biked from Boston to the West Coast.

On Monday, Hawley packed his panniers, put on his helmet and dipped his back tire in the Pacific Ocean as he headed out to cross the continent again, only in the other direction and with a few extra kilometres thrown in for good measure.

Over the course of three months Hawley plans to cycle up Vancouver lsland, take the ferry to Prince Rupert, cycle the perimeter of Haida Gwaii, and then head out across Canada, through part of the United States, and eventually over to Newfoundland.

From there he will cross the Atlantic to Scotland and cycle to Wales to attend the 50th anniversary of Pearson’s sister school, United World College of the Atlantic.

It is a 10,000 kilometre journey.

“I’m looking forward to falling in love with Canada again,” Hawley said. “It’s something that I’ve wanted to do again.”

There will be some challenges on Hawley’s journey. He doesn’t know how he is going to get across the Atlantic. His plan is to try and hitch a ride on a container ship, but nothing has been arranged. He is also interested to see how his body, fit but no longer 19, handles the miles.

And then there’s the solitude.

Hawley has no support team and no consistent travel companion.

There is an open invitation for anybody who wants to join him on any portion of the trip to do so, but for the most part Hawley will be putting back the kilometres all by his lonesome.

Metchosin’s Pearson College president David Hawley dips the back tire of his bicycle into the Pacific Ocean before heading out on a journey to cycle across Canada and beyond.

“The big question is ‘what’s it going to feel like’ and how to deal with the solitude of 10,000 kilometres,” Hawley said. “A lot of thinking and contemplating and planning for the future.”

A side goal of Hawley’s is to meet a representative from all 50 years of United Colleges, which offer full scholarship grade 12 and gap year education to exceptional students.

There are 13 United Colleges in five continents, with alumni spread throughout the world.

As Hawley travels to the original

school for its anniversary celebration he hopes to randomly meet a graduate from every year of the college’s existence along the way.

“While this mini-sabbatical is a personal journey and refresher for me,” said Hawley in a press release, “I also know it will be an amazing learning experience and re-affirm my commitment to the United World Colleges’ mission.”

Teen’s pimp gets three years Stephen Anthony Charlie, 23, pleaded guilty Tuesday in the Western Communities Courthouse to charges of prostituting a 15-year-old Langford girl between October 2010 and July 2011.

OUR VIEW

Veterans deserve more support We are troubled by news that Veterans Affairs Canada is downsizing its department, including the district office in Victoria, due to budget cuts.

Unlike the days when much of its work dealt with the post-Second World War struggles and challenges faced by service personnel, Veterans Affairs today is seeing an influx of people whose experience came in such theatres as Bosnia, Rwanda, Afghanistan and various peacekeeping scenarios.

For those engaged in combat roles, their experiences might be similar to those lived through by their military predecessors. Yet the understanding today of the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder and other psychological illnesses is greater than the Second World War, when struggling Canadian servicemen were pigeonholed as having “battle exhaustion.”

In true military fashion, Veteran Affairs insists that none of its clients will be left behind as a result of the cuts to office personnel.

The union representing the workers, voicing a predictable doom-and-gloom response, argues that veterans will begin to fall through the cracks due to projected increases in already too-large caseloads for staff and the added time it will take to process client requests.

As in all labour-employer disputes, the truth probably lies somewhere in between.

But the telling point in this conversation comes from the Royal Canadian Legion, which, for years, has done its best, given its limited resources, to fill the void in veteran support left by the federal government.

They expect the next four or five years to produce more diagnosed cases of post-traumatic stress disorder than ever, a scenario which, if not addressed, could have devastating effects not only on the individuals, but their families.

In a time of belt-tightening, the federal government needs to make cuts.

But no matter how it is sugar-coated by Veterans Affairs, the decision to downsize the department’s front-line operations not only sets a dangerous precedent, it’s a slap in the face to individuals who have willingly and bravely served their country.

I have written many stories on

bullying and talked about the issue with kids, parents, teachers and police officers. Regardless of all the work people are doing, the problem is still here.

Bullying is nothing new, but that doesn’t make it OK or some kind of rite of passage. There are kids killing themselves over things just like this.

It has been a long time since I have been bullied. Probably since I was in middle school.

I hope those teens look back on that evening a few years from now and realize it’s too late to apologize to the stranger they mocked.

Do they realize the message they were sending to my daughter?

But hey, if you are reading this, it could have been your kid or grandchild. Would you be embarrassed to know a column was published about how disrespectful they were?

The whole situation is rather embarrassing for me, too. Before writing this, I never told anyone about my evening. I was trying to forget it ever happened.

Maybe this is why bullying isn’t reported to school officials or the RCMP. If, at age 30, I am too embarrassed to talk about it, how can we ever expect a child to?

Which is why I am writing this. I shouldn’t be embarrassed because of someone else’s poor choices.

Slow drivers present greatest hazard Re: Keep pressuring high-risk drivers (Our View, May 18) The content of your editorial is common and clearly onesided. While I agree that the police should intervene when drivers are clearly breaking the law, I believe the main issue is drivers who travel in the left lane on a four-lane road at about the same speed as those in the right lane.

There are some signs that state, “Slower traffic keep right.”

In my view, “slow” does not necessarily mean someone going below the posted speed limit. Instead, I consider those slow drivers to be the ones

who impede the left-lane traffic because they want to exercise their “right” to be in that lane.

These are the self-appointed traffic enforcers.

About 25 years ago when I was living in Alberta, we had the same kind of risky drivers as we see in B.C. today. There were also signs suggesting that slower traffic stay to the right lane, but that was rarely obeyed or enforced.

Then the light came on with the powers that be. They increased the number and visibility of the signs, even highlighted them with bright green rays. It took two to four

years, but the drivers finally got it and it was uncommon to find Albertans playing traffic enforcers in the passing lane.

Travelling on the highways became safer and much more pleasant. It appears that all it took was an attitude adjustment and drivers left it up to the police to enforce the speeders in the left lane. I have little doubt that a similar change in attitude for B.C. drivers would greatly reduce the risky manoeuvres of aggressive drivers. Leave it to the police, people.

Politicians, executives should respect austerity

overgenerous situations, then workers might not be so demanding.

Bluntly, we are very fortunate to live in Canada. Let us not kill the already struggling golden goose through base greed and stupidity.

Stephen Lamb Victoria

including scores of studies of animal and fish populations, along with extensive archaeological, historical and other studies.

None of these considerations figured in any significant way when the Bennett Dam was built.

Site C provides us with a rare opportunity to build upon the past in an environmentally sensitive way and to make the most of the water already stored behind the Bennett Dam, by using it to generate clean hydro power a second time on its way downstream.

The persuasive efficiency of Site C, and the unparalleled environmental scrutiny it has already undergone, bode well for the project.

That’s why, once any potential impacts have been addressed or mitigated, I’m cautiously optimistic Site C will pass through the formal assessment process with flying colours.

Jesse McClinton Saanich

Being long retired, I come from the generation where wages were poor, benefits almost unknown, severance packages for the working person unheard of.

Today’s public servants largely have no experience of those dreadful days.

A recent political cartoon illustrating the “Taxpayer Bank of B.C.” showed B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union members dressed in robber’s garb charging in, while MLAs exited with rich salary and pensions.

I also recently read about Oak Bay, where a burst water main was allowed to gush for an entire weekend, as it was cheaper than calling out workers at “double overtime.”

Having been a government employee, private business person and elected municipal councillor for a period of nine years, I am genuinely fearful for the future. No one wants increases in taxation, but how else to meet demands?

I do not advocate a return to those earlier days when workers’ treatment was grossly unfair, so let us start with cuts at the MLAs’ pension trough, executive compensation and bonuses.

Overall, I suspect if effective attention were to be paid to these contentious and unfairly

Site C dam process passes enviro muster As the Site C dam project inches toward the intense scrutiny of the environmental assessment process, it’s worth reflecting on the differences between an energy project today and one built in decades past, such as the Bennett Dam. When the Bennett Dam was built in the 1960s in the Peace River country of northeastern B.C., the construction crew simply showed up with their tools and started working.

Not so today. B.C. Hydro estimates it will spend $300 million on the Site C dam environmental review process,

Belmont student gets her Dogwood Continued from Page A1

Now 19-years-old, she has spent four years as a student at Belmont.

“I hadn’t really gone to school for three years so it was kind of hard to make friends,” Landry said.

When she was sick, Landry only came to school once or twice per month for only a few hours each time.

To put things in perspective, Landry spent 209 days in the hospital in 2009.

Due to enduring 12-hour dialysis sessions, Landry’s body started retaining water and caused her to gain 35 pounds on her petite frame.

A few students at the school bullied her about her weight, with a few even having the gall to tell her she had “let herself go,” Landry “The nurses were recalled.

Even many of like my best friends. I her close friends talked to them everyday became distant while she was sick. and they would come But now she’s and hang out in my preparing for the next stage of her room with me.” life. She wants to – Victoria resident upgrade some of her courses and go to Camosun College to train to be a radiology technician.

Landry said she was inspired by the hospital staff at B.C. Children’s Hospital.

“Ninety per cent of my procedures were done under radiology,” Landry said. “The nurses were like my best friends. I talked to them everyday and they would come and hang out in my room with me.”

Over the course of the three years, Landry endured 18 rounds of chemotherapy and many blood treatments.

Last June, she underwent a kidney transplant that changed her quality of life drastically. After undergoing the major surgery, Landry woke up feeling better than she had in a long time.

Without the gift of a kidney, Landry would not be graduating and she would need to spend half her waking hours hooked up to a dialysis machine and taking 18 medications a day. “(The kidney) started to work right away,” Landry said, extolling those who have agreed to be organ donors. “Organ donation is so important.” reporter@goldstreamgazette.com

Charla Huber/News staff

Erika Landry tries on her grad dress in the sunshine last week. The Belmont secondary school student graduates on Saturday – a year after she received a kidney transplant last June.

The importance of check-ups Erika Landry’s kidney disease was discovered in 2008 during a routine doctor’s visit.

The red flag was high blood pressure and, after some blood tests, she was admitted to Victoria General Hospital and then flown by helicopter to B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver.

“I hate heights,” Landry said explaining she had fears the stretcher would roll out of the helicopter while in flight.

Banned driver nabbed behind the wheel A 40-year-old View Royal man who wasn’t supposed to be on the road was arrested Saturday night after his bad driving caught the attention of a Saanich police officer.

The officer pulled over a 1992 Acura around 8:20 p.m. on Harriet Road Saturday night (May 26), but the driver could not produce a valid licence.

He had a valid California driver’s licence but the officer found he had an outstanding warrant on the West Shore for a prior prohibited driving charge.

The man was arrested, the vehicle was impounded, and the man was issued another driving prohibition.

“Once again, we have a situation where we see a chronic driver with no licence who continues to drive,” said Sgt. Dean Jantzen.

Traffic safety officers see, on a daily basis, cases where suspended B.C. drivers have been able to successfully receive a licence from another jurisdiction, such as Alberta or Washington state.

“Regardless if you hold a licence (from another province or state), if you are suspended in B.C., you are not to be driving on our roads,” Jantzen said. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Station House takes a fresh approach to the traditional pub-style menu If you’ve stopped by the Station House Pub in the last few months, chances are you’ve noticed a few changes in the menu.

Westshore’s Hottest

NOW Su OPEN Summer Time Destination Free BBQ Business Mixer Every Wednesday 4:40 - 6 pm 829 M McCallum Road, Victoria, BC Located behind Costco in the new Lo Four Points by Sheraton Gateway Hotel.

Sunday Brunch Buffet

And if you haven’t been in for awhile?

Well, you’re in for a treat.

Darren Cross, Sierra, Gary, and Randy Davis welcome you to the Station House Pub.

No wonder that Thursday steak night has been a huge success!

Of course, while the food is a big part of the Station House’s continued success on the Westshore, so too is its inviting, welcoming setting, from the friendly servers to the special nights and activities for customers, says Cross. Nascar Night on Wednesdays and Music Bingo on Thursdays offering interactive entertainment, while on Fridays, live music provides the perfect backdrop for Prime Rib Night.

Come Saturday, the Station House welcomes a DJ to help you dance the night away.

“Everything is fresh and hand-prepared,” Davis says.

And, with an eye to the local bounty available, “I try to use as much from the Island as I can.”

Birthday, anniversary or special event? The staff at the Station House will be happy to help you celebrate the ideal evening with family and friends.

While the diverse pub-inspired menu offers plenty of heartier selections, such as House Made burgers made with ground sirloin, and a slow roasted pulled pork sandwich with summer on the horizon, expect to see a variety of tempting lighter dishes and salads as well, Davis notes.

And this Sunday, in return for all the support the pub has enjoyed over the years, Cross hosts his annual Customer Appreciation Golf Tournament at Metchosin Golf Course – a few spots were still available at press time, so be sure to ask at the pub for details.

The impetus behind those changes has been new chef Randy Davis, a welcome addition to the Station House team, notes pub manager Darren Cross. Davis’s fresh approach, balanced by more than 30 years in the industry, includes creating everything from scratch – from salad dressings and steak sauces to soups and 29-day aged, hand-cut steaks, “a lot more tender and a lot more flavourful.”

(Which also means more room for a slice of creamy cheesecake or pastry for dessert!)

Vegetarian options include the delicious housemade veggie burger, and diners can expect to see more choices tailored to vegetarian and gluten-free diets in the near future.

If was neither newsworthy or noteworthy, just another file like thousands of others the West Shore RCMP deals with that slips under the public’s radar during the course of a year.

After several futile attempts by a social worker at Victoria General Hospital to get an elderly patient home hit a road block, she called the West Shore RCMP Detachment’s general line seeking assistance.

The patient, no doubt stressed enough from an unscheduled trip to the hospital by ambulance, had left her keys at home in her purse.

The social worker didn’t want to release the elderly woman because she didn’t have access to her residence, but when she mentioned a neighbour had a spare set of keys, the call was made to West Shore RCMP around 7:30 p.m. West Shore RCMP Cst. Rod Fraser said the woman explained that her husband was already in the hospital, and she

didn’t want to burden the system by using a bed someone else may need.

“If we couldn’t contact her neighbour before 9:30, she would have to stay in the hospital.” said Fraser, who was finally able to contact the neighbour after several attempts. “She was adamant that she wanted to go home, and was very appreciative and thankful for our efforts.

These are the type of calls we do when time and resources permit that fly under the radar.

CONST. ROD FRASER Place of Birth: Cape Breton, Nova Sco. Years of Service: 4.5, all at West Shore Detachment believe the calls we handle deal with crime or police issues, but that’s probably only half to three quarters of what we do. The rest of our time involves assisting the public, similar to this file.”

For Fraser, the most challenging calls deal with motor vehicle collisions and fatalities.

“Whether it’s 2 p.m. or 4 a.m., you never know what you’re facing until you get there,” he said. Next of kin notifications are also very daunting. Knocking on someone’s door to tell them they’ve lost a loved one or a family member is not something anyone looks forward to.”

Despite the challenges, Fraser says the personal aspects of the job, such as making a positive difference in someone’s life by doing something as simple as tracking down keys to get a woman home from the hospital, make the work he does extremely rewarding.

Having a career before he joined the RCMP has also given him a different perspective.

“It’s something I always wanted to do but I got sidetracked,” said Fraser, who worked with the Canadian Coast Guard for 20 years before joining the RCMP. “I think getting into it later makes you appreciate it more.”

Family Day hurts economy, MLAs say Tom Fletcher Black Press

Premier Christy Clark is pushing ahead with plans for a new Family Day holiday in February, after independent MLAs voted against the move.

NDP MLAs supported B.C. Liberal members in the key vote to approve the new statutory holiday Tuesday. The first one will be next Feb. 11, and the second Monday in February each year after that.

Independent MLAs criticized the move and forced a standing vote, after listing the costs it would impose on business.

The Canadian Federation of Independent Business estimates that Family Day will cost the average small business more than $1,100 in wage costs, either paying employees to stay home or overtime to come to work.

Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington reminded the legislature the new holiday is imposed on business after three increases in the minimum wage in the past year, an average $3,000 transition to the harmonized sales tax and soon a similar cost to switch back to the provincial sales tax next year.

Clark promised the new holiday during her B.C. Liberal leadership campaign last year. It will join February holidays in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Prince Edward Island.

Clark has argued that the new holiday will not only increase family time, it will also boost business for ski hills, hotels, restaurants and other tourist businesses during a slow time of year.

Independent Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson noted the provincial government’s own payroll cost of the new holiday will be $28 million, a sum that could be applied to a range of pressing government problems. Simpson urged the government to wait and see if its budget is balanced as promised next year before imposing more costs and reducing B.C.’s productivity.

Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen was the first independent to speak out against Family

Day, backed by John Cummins, leader of the B.C. Conservative Party that van Dongen has joined. “Adding a new statutory holiday is a feel-good idea that is strictly politically motivated,� van Dongen said.

Clark and Labour Minister Margaret McDiarmid said choosing a date that is not in step with other western provinces or the President’s Day holiday in the U.S. would mean less out-of-town traffic at B.C. attractions for people with a day off.

WATER WISELY THIS SUMMER SMART WATERING IS GOOD FOR WATER RESOURCES, BUT ALSO FOR YOUR GARDEN, LAWN AND PLANTS

By Jennifer Blyth

Watering: • Position hoses and sprinklers to avoid watering hard surfaces such as driveways and patios and reduce evaporation – and possible fungal problems for your plants – by watering in the morning and on less windy days. Consider installing a micro/drip irrigation system to better tailor watering to specific areas or plant, and to keep water at the base of the plants, suggests Capital Regional District Water.

• Consider collecting and recycling water by installing rain barrels outside of your home, the CRD says. “The average house roof in our region can collect 272 litres of rain (60 gallons) on each nine square metres of roof, for every one inch of rain.”

LYNNE’S LITTLE ELF GARDEN CENTRE

• Water slowly and thoroughly to avoid run-off and ensure the soil absorbs the water. Thorough, deep waterings are preferable to superficial, frequent ones and will encourage better root growth for grass.

1062 Goldstream Ave • 250.478.4557 1

• Regularly check your hose or irrigation equipment for leaks or blockages.

The Lawn: • Aerate your lawn to help grass roots to absorb all the natural moisture available.

• Keep mower blades sharp to avoid tearing the grass, set the mower height to 50 to 65 mm (2” to 2 1/2”) and leave grass clippings to decompose as they act as mini-mulch to reduce evaporation. Avoid cutting grass when it’s wet.

• Consider replacing some areas of lawn with lowgrowing ground covers or herbs, or incorporate hardscape made from natural or synthetic materials, such as flat rocks, flagstones, concrete asphalt or compact gravel, suggests the CRD.

The Garden: • Select plant species that are well-suited to the soil, sunlight and moisture conditions on your property.

• Consider installing drought-tolerant native plantings.

Once established, drought-tolerant plants can survive with little, if any, artificial watering. Natural rainfall is usually enough for these plants, if they’re growing in an area similar to their natural habitat.

• Plants with grey, fuzzy, waxy or finely divided leaves are also considered drought-tolerant. Perennials like daylilies, flax, pinks, bellflowers and peonies thrive under dry conditions. Annuals like cosmos, sage, mallow and California poppies are also droughttolerant and provide season-long colour in your garden.

Check with garden centres for more suggestions.

• Mulching around plants reduces the number of weeds (which compete for water), conserves soil moisture and moderates soil temperatures, notes the CRD. The recommended depth for mulches is five to 10 cm (two to four inches). Good mulches are straw, leaf, bark, gravel or wood chips.

For more information, visit www.crd.bc.ca/water

Cosmos, peonies and the native camus can be good choices for a water-wise garden.

Myriad coming to play Jazz Vesper in Colwood Collaborative group hopes to hone their sound while on the road Kyle Wells News staff

A trio of acclaimed jazz musicians is heading to Colwood on what will be their band’s first tour outside of Ontario and only the second time the group has played outside of Toronto.

Featuring pianist Chris Donnelly, Dan Fortin on bass and Ernesto Cervini on the drums, Myriad has stops in Calgary, Vancouver, Kamloops and Clearwater before playing Hermann’s Jazz Club in downtown Victoria and, most importantly, at a Jazz Vesper at the Church of the Advent in Colwood. “A band like ours, we need to play and we need to play in as many environments as possible to explore our relationship with the music and explore our relationship with the other musicians,� Donnelly said.

Myriad formed in 2010 almost by accident. The three members, all in their 20s, knew each other as music students at the University of Toronto but had never played together. One night some subs were needed for another band’s gig and the three found themselves on stage at the same time. Something clicked. “We’re not sure what it is, but we should go out of our way a little bit to play together again,� Donnelly said about his post-gig attitude. “We just kept on getting more excited and the music started coming together even more.�

Dynamics are a key to the band’s attitude and, ultimately, it’s sound. There is no band leader.

All three are experienced musicians in their own rights and contribute equally to the group. There is no lone songwriter, no single spokesperson and no dominantly showcased soloist.

“(It’s) much more of a collective experience, kind of like a three-way conversation,� Donnelly said. “We’re all equally contributing, it’s like sitting down and having an open hearted discussion ... with no alpha male present.�

Even rehearsing, which Myriad does at least once per week, is kind of a novelty for a jazz ensemble. The genre is known for spontaneity, improvisation and immediacy.

Myriad has all that, but they also put effort into building their identity and giving themselves a chance to experiment, play, hone and grow as a collective. “There’s an element

“There’s an element of risk and uncertainty.� – Chris Donnelly of risk and uncertainty.

But at the same time very structured and very tight,� Donnelly said. “I like when you have those things put together, juxtaposed against each other, I think people respond to that.�

Once the tour is behind them and the band is tight, they will record an album back in Toronto – another first for the group.

The Jazz Vesper, a church service inter-

spersed with jazz, in Colwood will be yet another unique experience for the band.

There will be prayer and reflection, with music influencing the service and the service influencing the music. “It’s a great way to interact with a community,� Donnelly said. “It’s very collaborative.

We’ve played music for them and they’ve interacted with us and they’ve welcomed us into their community, we’re happy to be there. It’s a very back and forth experience.�

The Vesper starts at 7 p.m., 510 Mt. View Ave. Admission is by freewill offering.

From landscapes to roof tops and back again Edward Hill News staff

If the perfect landscape presents itself, painter Christine Reimer isn’t shy about screeching her car to a halt on the side of the highway to capture the moment. Nobody said art was safe.

The veteran Saanich artist, known for blending realism and whimsy in dramatic landscape pieces, is marking 30 years of painting with a show at The Arts Centre at Cedar Hill, starting Sunday.

It’s her first show in Greater Victoria since 2010 and features a mix of landscapes and abstract florals, perhaps 25 to 30 pieces generated in the past few years. The landscapes will be familiar to anyone who has travelled across the Island and the province – Rocky mountains and verdant meadows, wilderness lakes amid Douglas fir forests, Gulf Island arbutus trees stretching over water.

“I grew up on the coast, I have a bond with the coastal landscape,” Reimer said. “Being an Islander, it’s in my blood.”

She admits the abstract florals were a deviation from the hunt for landscapes – a kind of creative

Don Denton/News staff

Artist Christine Reimer in her studio with some of the paintings she’ll be exhibiting at The Arts Centre at Cedar Hill. rejuvenation necessary every few years.

“I get bored doing the same thing. What I’ve done over 30 years is take detours,” Reimer said. “I had a figurative period of painting quirky people in dreamlike settings. I do that for a while, and then landscapes become fresh again.

“I do find it hard to limit myself to one thing – there are so many vibrant colours. I can’t help myself.

I’m obsessed with colour, I always have been.”

Reimer has been an artist since she can remember, drawing at a young age and watching her talent emerge as a teenager. She credits art teachers Bill West and Carole Sabiston at Oak Bay High and then University of Victoria instructor and influential Canadian artist James Gordaneer as influencing and guiding her style and development.

Working through different mediums while earning her BFA at UVic, it was her great-uncle and noted painter Max Maynard (a contemporary of Emily Carr and Jack Shadbolt in the 1930s and ‘40s) who steered her toward landscape images. “I was so inspired by the way he did landscapes,” Reimer said. “I thought I would give it a shot.”

It was a good decision. Now a professional working artist for 25 years, Reimer’s work decorates corporate offices, high-end hotels, restaurants, and galleries across B.C. “Between kids and painting, I’ve worked full time,” she said. “And my husband has been extremely supportive.”

Reimer said she’s fortunate to make a living as an artist, but noted her “long-suffering” husband must tolerate intensive photography during trips – she took a thousand photos in Banff and Jasper last fall – and the occasional demand to pull over on the highway, often so she can scramble up a cliff to grab a shot. Her photography is the groundwork for her art.

“My photos allow me to recall the place with better detail. If I use other photos of places I haven’t

been, you can’t evoke the place truly.”

She admits that the last few years have been tough personally and professionally. The economic downturn across North America has squeezed budgets for commissioned art pieces and private sales. But she still keeps up a work schedule of painting about five days a week, usually in intensive three-hour bursts of acrylic on canvas.

“It’s been really tough at times.

The last few years. It’s been very difficult for all artists. Art is a luxury item for people.”

Her work will be on display for two weeks in June, but Reimer is mulling her next set of work after recently returning from England – the roofscape and old-world architecture of London. “It’s something that’s tweaked my interest until I detour back to landscapes,” she said.

Reimer’s Peaks, Islands and Beyond – 30 years of Colour solo exhibit runs from June 3 to 17 at The Arts Centre at Cedar Hill, 3220 Cedar Hill Rd. The grand opening gala is Thursday, June 7, 5 to 7:30 p.m. editor@saanichnews.com

Antarctica beguiles “I stand by as a freeway of penguins travels to and from the breaking waves in lane after lane of determination. It’s like being up against the wall at Grand Central Station at rush hour and the flow of birds is fascinating.”

- From Victoria poet Jay Ruzesky’s blog

Victoria poet returns from pilgrimage to family explorer’s landing spot Vivian Moreau Contributor

His voice softens when Victoria poet Jay Ruzesky talks about the time he spent in Antarctica this winter. The trip was the realization of a lifelong dream to see the place where Ruzesky’s maternal great-grandfather’s first cousin, Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen, had discovered the south pole in December 1911. Normally never one at a loss for words Ruzesky pauses trying to describe the allure of the place that even in summer is 98 per cent covered in ice.

“It feels immediately like you’ve entered a place unlike any other in the world, the only other place would be like going to space or to the moon because it is so devoid of us and continues to be. There’s no planes flying overhead, no telephone wires, no distant sounds of motors.” And even though travelling on a tourist ship there were still

beaches where you could land and be the first human to do so, he said.

Fifteen years ago Ruzesky wrote but set aside a novel about Amundsen’s south pole adventure. He is best known for his 2001 poetry collection, Blue Himalayan Poppies and novel, The Wolsenburg Clock, which was nominated for the City of Vicoria Butler Book Prize. On leave now from teaching duties at Vancouver Island University he is starting in on another manuscript, a non-fiction account blending his visit with Amundsen’s.

Ruzesky travelled with his brother from Chile to the Antarctic peninsula on a 235foot refitted research ship that was home for 10 days in December last year, 100 years after Amundsen travelled there. With guides the duo kayaked and watched tens of thousands of gentoo and chinstrap penguins as well as leopard and Weddell seals. They saw icebergs calve and learned the difference between bergs and floes.

“It was a pilgrimage in the real old sense of the word,” Ruzesky said, “to this place that had been in my imagination since I was a little kid. It had a mythical status. It was

Don Denton/News staff

Author Jay Ruzesky, who is writing a book about his trip to Antarctica. where heroes came from.”

From his first sighting aboard the ship, Ruzesky said he had the strange sense of being home.

“Yet it was weird to feel at home in a place so inhospitable to human beings.”

About 1,000 scientists live at research stations in Antarctica, which is about 14 million kilometres squared and 28 million in the winter when sea ice doubles the continent’s size. About 25,000 tourists visit each year.

Although Antarctica is usually thought of as blue and white, it really has about 10,000 shades of blue, he said. Constantly changing light alters the colour and texture of whatever you are gazing at.

When his guide heard Ruzesky was keen to see any spot where Amundsen might have been he took the brothers in a zodiak to see the peaks on Two Hummock Island where Amundsen went skiing more than 100 years ago – “the first tourist,” Ruzesky said.

Picking their way through a colony of penguins Ruzesky was at first disappointed at clouds covering the peaks. But then, as he recorded in a blog, the weather shifted.

“It stops snowing and the clouds lift so fast it’s as though someone just removed a tarp from the sky. The clouds simply disappear and are replaced by deep blue sky and bright sun.”

He spent the next hour feverishly taking as many shots as he could, before clouds moved in again. Although not a religious man, Ruzesky said that day was a profound experience.

I have kayaked through castellated icebergs, I have communed with penguins, I have caressed thousands-year-old ice and allowed the heat of my fingers to melt it. In Antarctica you have to come to terms with immensity.

SPORTS “Ethan is part of a special group of younger Mount Doug runners.” – Rams coach Al Niezen

Sharon Tiffin/News staff

Mount Douglas secondary runners Ethan and Thomas Getty are competing at the track and field provincials in Burnaby this weekend. The elder Thomas is a medal hopeful in the senior category 1,500m and 3,000m, while Ethan is a triple threat at the bantam level (Grade 9) in the 400m, 200m and 100m sprints.

Getty up Brothers lead Rams to track and field B.C.s Travis Paterson News staff

M

ount Douglas Rams track team brothers Thomas and Ethan Getty are separated by two years in age, and 1,100 metres on the track.

Seventeen-year-old Thomas is in Grade 11 and specializes in middle distance running, his shortest event being the 1,500m.

Fifteen-year-old Ethan is in Grade 9, but his focus is on the sprinting distances, the longest being 400m.

“We’re pretty competitive in everything else (non-running) we do,” said Thomas.

“Though I guess Ethan would be the better lacrosse player, since he’s still playing and I no longer do.”

Both have qualified for the high school track and field provincials at Burnaby’s Swanguard Stadium on Saturday and Sunday (June 1 and 2), having helped the

Mount Doug Rams to second place at the Island championship, behind powerhouse Oak Bay High.

Thomas finished second in the 1,500m and first in the 3,000m at the Island track championship.

And though Ethan was equally adept in the bantam-age (Grade 9) Island championship, he might want to consider competing in a longer race, as on paper, his results improved as each distance grew.

Ethan finished fourth in the 100m, second in the 200m and first in the 400m.

Track wasn’t the house sport growing up, say the brothers, but has become it. Ethan plays Saanich Tigers lacrosse, and Thomas did, while younger brother Graeme, 12, competed in running at Arbutus middle school (before the season was cancelled).

Dad did some running as a youth, Thomas said, but for the boys running just came naturally.

“Back in elementary we’d lap the school field,” Thomas said. “I did well but didn’t win every race. But I found liked the strategic aspect of the longer distances.”

Ethan, however, prefers to the short courses. “I just seemed to like sprinting.”

There’s no ceiling to what the brothers can accomplish, as both transfer well to dirt paths of cross country during the fall running season. Thomas has a year remaining before competing at the university level to Ethan’s three, should he go that route.

“Ethan is part of a special group of younger Mount Doug runners coming up,” Rams coach Al Niezen said.

“We’ve got 20 kids going to provincials and half are Grade 9s.”

For Thomas, the biggest challenge this weekend is could come from his elite high school track teammates Liam Kennel of Oak Bay High and Ben Weir of Glenlyon Norfolk School. Weir was injured for the Island finals but finished second behind Thomas in the 1,500m and 3,000m of the Lower Island.

Kennel is only 16, but is a threat at the senior level as part of the Oak Bay track team looking to continue its domination of the combined girls and boys team title. Brendan Restall leads the Bays team, which is deep in talent once again.

If all goes well, Restall will win the 400m again before graduating to the UVic Vikes next year, Mount Doug has its top shooters as well, with Katelyn Hayward a lock to win the 3,000m one more time before she graduates. Hayward will most likely forego the 1,500m steeplechase, the very event she set the B.C. record in last year, to nurse Katelyn Hayward a leg injury she sustained during the high school cross country season.

In the field No Island school has been able to match the crew of throwers coming out of Lambrick Park in recent years.

This year Lambrick’s Mason Kereszti is hoping for three medals. The defending B.C. javelin champ was first in the discus and javelin and second in the shotput at the Islands. sports@vicnews.com

Rowers prep for London Travis Paterson News staff

Victoria-trained rowers Scott Frandsen and David Calder are silver medalists once again.

The Beijing runners-up in the men’s pair duplicated their famous effort from the 2008 Olympics and brought home one of three medals earned by Canada from last week’s 2012 World Cup in Switzerland.

“Our training and hard work has proved that you can teach an old dog new tricks,” Calder said.

Picked to compete Our training in one of seven boats at this year’s London and hard work Olympics, the duo of has proved that Calder and Frandsen lost only to New Zea- you can teach land, which was the an old dog new favourite going in to tricks.” the world cup.

– Dave Calder “We’ve got the countdown to London in our heads right now.”

One of the biggest surprises was Canada’s men’s eight slipping to bronze in Sunday’s final, despite setting the world’s best time in the heat on Friday.

Coxswain Brian Price and rower Malcom Howard of Victoria return to lead the goldmedal winning boat from Beijing, with Ontario rowers Will Crothers, Jeremiah Brown, Andrew Byrnes, Conlin McCabe, Rob Gibson and Doug Csima, plus Gabe Bergen from 100 Mile House.

The lightweight women’s double of Tracy Cameron and Lindsay Jennerich finished second in the B final, the equivalent to eighth overall.

Canada’s women’s eight lost gold in a photo finish to U.S.A. Our southern neighbours squeaked out a gold-medal victory over Canada by .03 of a second. The rowers return to Canada this week though the women’s eight will continue to train and compete in Europe. sports@vicnews.com

Cricket league seeks young blood Saturday studies with bats and bowls Travis Paterson News staff

The city’s top cricketers aren’t from here, they moved here. And maybe it will always be that way. But it’s not stopping John Wenman and company from the Victoria and District Cricket Association from believing the Lower Island can once again rise to a competitive level equal or better than the B.C. Mainland Cricket League.

“It was about 20 to 25 year ago that our clubs could rival the Mainland,” Wenman said.

The difference is that many of the better cricket players have immigrated to B.C., and there are plenty more ex-pat players in the Vancouver area than in Victoria.

Still, Wenman finds it odd the top teams are not better, because Greater Victoria has more cricket teams than ever. Which is where Wenman comes in.

Now 69, the retired teacher from Stelly’s secondary learned the game here, where he was born and raised. His former team, the University School Incogs, is celebrating its 100th season this year.

Wenman long ago shifted to recruiting and teaching, and is behind the league’s Saturday morning cricket school at St. Michaels University School. The program begins on June 2, for kids aged

eight to 14, and runs until the last Saturday in August. Seminars last two hours and range from cricket introduction for newbies to development for return players. Younger students use softer equipment until they’re a little older, or have got the hang of the game.

By 14, some players are ready to join the Colts, a designated youth team playing in the less competitive mid-week league.

“Through the summer program we’ve put through quite a few players to the Colts, and have seen players move from the Colts into the more competitive weekend league,” Wenman said.

To register contact Wenman at 250598-5477, or jawenman@telus.net. sports@vicnews.com

It’s been 50 years since Claremont secondary school opened its doors to Saanich.

And from those doors has emerged a seemingly non-stop stream of athletes ranging from city champions to Olympians.

As part of its 50th anniversary on Saturday (June 2) Claremont is revealing the Wall of Fame in the main hallway and gym. The school is inducting 27 athletes, who played a range of sports from major league pitcher Rich Harden and national team soccer player Wanda Rozwadowska, to Ironman triathlete turned paralympic rower Tony Theriault and track star Debbie Scott. The youngest is diver Riley McCormick, 20, who is set for his second Olympics this summer.

Claremont’s also putting rugby’s Peter Simmonds and Ed Kubek in for coaching excellence, and Joe Lott and

Claremont archives

Claremont rugby great Casey Walt lifts the 1970 Howard Russell Cup (city trophy). Walt joins the wall of fame as one of sports stars to come from Claremont.

Gerry Montgomery in the builder category.

The induction ceremony begins at 5:30 p.m. in the gym, with a formal mention of each athlete. More athletes will be added in the coming years.

It’s all part of an open house for alumni beginning at 3 p.m.

The school will be open with a series of designated “era rooms” for alumni to mix with their graduation year. sports@vicnews.com

A paper route is about so much more than money.

These days kids want and need so many things. With a paper route they not only earn the money to buy those things, they also gain a new respect for themselves. They discover a new sense of confidence, power and control by having their very own job, making their own money and paying for their own games, phones and time with friends.

■ Grand Opening of Sutton Group - West Coast Realty’s new Langford office ■ Friday May 25, 2012.

Sutton Group West Coast Realty opens new office Sutton Group West Coast Realty officially opened its brand new state-of-the art office across from Langford City Hall on May 25.

Guest were welcomed into the spectacular facility, featuring floor-to-ceiling glass walls, media-equipped meeting rooms, high ceilings, bright and spacious open work areas, contemporary furnishings and private office spaces.

Sutton Group - West Coast Realty now has 19 offices throughout the Vancouver Island, Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley areas. In May they were named by the Real Trends Top 250 Report, for the second consecutive year, as Canada’s #1 Broker for total transactions, total closed sales volume and for the total number of Realtors® associated with them. With over 1,900 Realtors currently working with them in BC, they did 15,039 transaction ends and $9.6 billion in closed sales volume in 2011. Interestingly, if Sutton West Coast was located in the USA their 2011 dollar volume would place them in fifth spot among the elite US brokerages.

Real Estate Sales Manager Warren Cleal is both enthused and optimistic about Sutton Group West Coast Realty’s presence in one of Canada’s fastest growing communities and welcomes the public and Realtors alike to drop by the 866 Goldstream Avenue location or call 250-999-9886.
