Langford gets in line on backyard hens After knocking on hundreds of doors and collecting more than 500 signatures, Werner and Karen Grundlingh can keep their chickens in their Langford backyard. The friendly fowl were never a problem for the couple, until one day when they received a knock at the door. It was a Langford bylaw officer informing them they were not allowed to have chickens. They were told the hens needed to be removed by July 15. Langford only allows hens on residential properties that are more than one acre (4,046 square meters). For those with large enough lots, the current bylaw allows one hen for every 166

square metres. The Grundlingh’s lot size is 890 square metres and they have two hens. They have cared for hens for two years now and say they didn’t even know about the bylaw. After getting the notice in April they knocked on hundreds of doors throughout Langford seeking support. “Most people we talked to were surprised that you couldn’t have chickens,� said Karen Grundlingh.
On June 18, the Grundlinghs presented their case to Langford council. Many of the couple’s neighbours attended in support. After the presentation, council passed a resolution for staff to rewrite the bylaw to allow backyard chickens on smaller lots. “With the 100 Mile Diet, more and more people are interested in this,� said acting mayor Denise Blackwell, who has been on council since Langford incorporated two decades ago. Blackwell told the couple the deadline has been lifted and the hens can stay while the bylaw is rewritten. The current bylaw was written in 1967 by the Capital Regional District, which enforced regulations in the area at that time. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Once complete the interchange will be ready for traffic. “It’s pretty exciting actually,� Langford director of engineering Michelle Mahovlich said. “It’ll be neat to see it opened. From a traffic perspective it’ll certainly help. It’s a pretty big project for the city to undertake. It’s not very often where you build a full interchange like that.� The overpass stretching over the Trans-Canada Highway was completed in the summer of 2009 but has sat idle since -- hence the “bridge to nowhere.� PLEASE SEE: Bridge to nowhere, Page A14

A
t a gathering like this, it would be an understatement to call residential schools the elephant in the room. The profoundly flawed attempt to assimilate generations of aboriginal people has left such an impact, it feels more like the room is inside the elephant. On June 15, the largest class of social workers ever to graduate from Caring for First Nations Children Society shared a meal at the Juan de Fuca fieldhouse before heading off to try and do a better job of protecting some of the most vulnerable kids in the province. At the CFNCS Langford office, trainees experience morning prayers, drum songs and sharing circles as well as classroom work on the intricacies of working in aboriginal communities. “They’re going to understand how to connect with families in a real, respectful way,” said Gail Roach-Leforte, training manager at CFNCS, as she looked over the group that came from First Nation communities as far away as Cranbrook. The 80 or so people in attendance recently completed the course at the society’s Granderson Road office. The Langford-based agency, which relies on both government and private funding, runs provincially mandated training for social workers employed by Aboriginal Child and Family Services Agencies in BC. “Things have really changed,” Roach-Leforte said, about her experience over the two years she’s worked at the society. “When I came, there was one drum and it was rarely used.” Now there are 16. The 22 delegated agencies in B.C. were created to administer child protection services in aboriginal communities. Social workers hired by the agencies are required to have training that will enable them to see their roles through the lens of aboriginal culture. To do that, they first have to understand
the Gazette feature series: Part 2
Did you know? “This phenomenon, coined the “60’s Scoop,” is so named because the highest numbers of adoptions took place in the decade of the 1960s and because, in many instances, children were literally scooped from their homes and communities without the knowledge or consent of families and bands.” - Originscanada.org
the legacy of residential schools and the damage wreaked by misguided attempts to wipe out that very culture. Ian Clark, a trainer/instructor with CFNCS, said there used to be an authoritarian attitude among social workers during the era of residential schools, which lasted from the 19th century until as late as 1996. “We really emphasize the history of child welfare practises in this country, particularly in British Columbia,” Clark said, explaining that the legacy of being seen as authority figures who made up rules often created a deep distrust of officials. Now, the emphasis is on empowering families and their community to keep kids safe as close to home as possible. That means understanding traditional support networks, such as grandparents, who can be called on to provide a sanctuary if needed. Historically, that was the way communities would look out for their children and families. The shift to relying on the state for protection eventually led to the infamous ’60s scoop. The Euro-centric mentality that pervaded the era believed children could be “saved” by replacing their aboriginal culture with a mainstream identity. Generations of kids were taken from their homes and grew up never learning how to parent because they never saw how it was done. “I think it’s fair to say there’s a poor track record for caring for

Henry Joe performs a traditional dance at the Caring for First Nations Children Society’s graduation ceremony on June 15. Joe and other members of Cowichan Valley First Nations were invited to sing and dance at the ceremony, held in the Juan de Fuca Kinsmen Fieldhouse. children who came into care of the ministry,” said Ray Bronson, the province’s director of delegated aboriginal agencies. “There are going to be times, absolutely, when you’re going to have to remove someone to keep them safe,” said Bronson,
who spoke to the grads about the challenges they can expect as they begin their careers. The job is not for everyone and often can feel like you’re “damned if you do and damned if you don’t.” However, there are successes.
Those times when social workers manage to support people to make needed changes – such as overcoming addiction – to allow them to remain part of their kids’ lives. Bronson said it will take generations before the damage left by residential schools can be considered healed. “With aboriginal children, it’s doubly important for them to know their culture,” Bronson said, noting the government’s reach diminishes greatly as children grow into adults. “Once kids age out of care, they go searching for their identity, go searching for their families.” That search takes an emotional toll that can lead to addiction and despair and often creates a new generation of parents who make poor choices. It’s a cycle that modern social workers hope to end by figuring out the strengths in a child’s family and how to use them to keep kids in a community they’re familiar with. Lee Smith, a guardianship worker with Surrounded by Cedars based in Victoria, was among the trainees who graduated June 15. She said she’s seeing more and more aboriginal people choosing to do social work. Still, there are many people in the field who don’t have any personal connection to First Nations culture. “In my experience, working with people from the ‘mainstream,’ there’s not a lot in the history books that acknowledges aboriginal history,” said Smith, who considers herself Metis but wasn’t brought up on a reserve. During the training at CFNCS, she noticed many of her colleagues develop a new appreciation for clients after learning about cultural differences, and, of course, the pitfalls that permeate many communities scarred by the residential school experience. “This is it. This is the core program to teach someone without an aboriginal background about that knowledge, about respect.” editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Youth pastor’s court date adjourned Ira Parmenter, a former Colwood pastor, charged with sexual exploitation Kyle Wells News staff
Former Colwood youth pastor Ira Parmenter has had his court date adjourned until Sept. 13. Parmenter, a youth pastor with the Colwood Pentecostal Church between 2003 and 2009, is charged with sexual exploitation for an alleged inappropriate sexual relationship with a 16-year-old girl between July 2007 and November 2008.
Personal Support Worker Program
Former Colwood youth pastor Ira Parmenter is being charged with sexual expolitation for an alleged relationship with a 16-yearold girl in 2007 and 2008.
3 Month Program Starts July 2 & Sept 4, 2012 The BC government is estimating large elder care labour shortages over the next 10 years. Personal Support Workers are in demand!

Arrested in Newfoundland on May 11, Parmenter was released from custody with instructions to appear at the Western Communities Courthouse Thursday, June 21. Parmenter did not appear but
retained a lawyer who arranged the adjournment. At least a dozen people, young and old, were in the courtroom on Thursday, including Parmenter’s brother. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com
Anonymous tip leads to drug bust Charla Huber News staff
An anonymous tip led to a drug bust in a home on Weaver Place in Langford. “It’s a hop, skip and jump away from an elementary school,” said Cpl. Bob Pilot of West Shore RCMP Street Crime Unit. After arresting two individuals for trafficking a controlled substance, the West Shore RCMP Street Crime Unit executed a search warrant on the home at 10 p.m., June 20. “We watched them and surveilled them out, then watched them do some deals,” Pilot said. A 24-year-old man, who was a resident of the home, and a 29-year-old woman face charges for trafficking a controlled substance. They have been released and will be in the Western Communities courthouse, Sept. 20. One ounce of cocaine and a quarter-pound of marijuana was discovered in the house. The officers also seized $2,300 in cash and an automobile. The West Shore RCMP Street Crime Unit had the home under surveillance after receiving the tip early in May. “Anonymous tips are good, but I could have wrapped this case up a lot faster,” said Pilot explaining the tip came in a letter with no contact information. “If people wish to remain anonymous, I’ll never reveal a name unless it’s a life or death situation.” Pilot suggests anyone with information can call or send a letter, but should include their contact information. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Mall hosts fare fight Charla Huber News staff
The Westshore Town Centre is participating in an eight-month food drive. An empty store front has been transformed into a food bank with a mural of animated produce pushing shopping carts full of groceries. The drive began in March and will continue until the end of October. So far, more than 700 pounds of food and $4,200 has been collected. The challenge is part of a program happening at 17 shopping centres across Canada owned by Bentall Kennedy. The national goal is to collect 20,000 pounds of non-perishables and $75,000 in cash. “We want to keep the interest going and the money and food flowing,” said Laura Poland, the mall’s general manager.
After the food is brought into donation bins, located in the lobby outside Fairway Market, it is then passed onto the Goldstream Food Bank. Cash donations can be made at the administration office at Westshore Town Centre. “The summer is our leanest time of the year,” said Gayle Ireland, president of Goldstream Food Bank. “People are just as hungry in August as they are in December.” Currently, many of the shelves at the food bank have run bare and all of the reserve food has already been given to people in need. Another way to help out is to enter to win a year’s worth of food at the website farefightforfood.ca. The mall with the most customers entering will receive an additional donation to their local food bank. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Ruby-Ann Rufollo appeals her 2010 murder conviction Edward Hill News staff
Ruby-Ann Ruffolo has appealed her first-degree murder conviction at the B.C. Court of Appeal in Vancouver, and is now waiting for the judge’s decision. Ruffolo’s lawyer made two days of oral submissions over last Monday and Tuesday. A decision could come in a few weeks or a few months. On Nov. 18, 2010, Ruffolo was convicted of killing her husband John Ruffolo by giving him a protein shake laced with the drug amtripyline, followed by a lethal dose of heroin on Oct. 19, 2003, at their Tulip Avenue home in
Saanich. A few days later his body was found in a ditch on Humpback Road in Langford. Justice Mary Humphries, who convicted Ruffolo of first degree murder, delivered a 154-page judgment, outlining the long and complicated trial process that was beset with delays and one mistrial. Ruffolo has appealed her conviction based on “that the trial judge misapprehended evidence, engaged in faulty reasoning, misplaced the onus of proof, and accepted Crown submissions without any independent analysis,” according to a summary by an appeal justice. Justice Mary Newbury, who
granted Ruffolo bail last year in May before that was overturned by an appeal court in August, suggested Ruffolo’s grounds for appeal weren’t frivolous, but weren’t strong either. “They depend largely on showing that the trial judge erred in her findings and inferences of fact – a task that will be very difficult in this case, given the lengthy analysis which the trial judge gave to the various inconsistencies in evidence given by various witnesses,” Newbury wrote. “In short, the appeal will ... be a steep uphill climb for the defence.” editor@saanichnews.com

Drugged-driving research taking place in Saanich Roadside surveys to test drivers for drugs and alcohol Erin McCracken Tom Fletcher News staff
Drivers are now being asked to voluntarily provide a saliva sample at police checkpoints in Saanich, as part of research into drug-impaired driving. “The effort is to try and determine the volume of people that drive while impaired by drugs,” said Victoria police Chief Const. Jamie Graham. “It will help fuel further research efforts, support current and future legislative changes and focus public attention to where there are real dangers.” Roadside surveys are taking place in Saanich, Vancouver, Abbotsford, Prince George and Kelowna, the same cities chosen for a similar survey in 2010. When drivers “The last survey are stopped, they will be asked to vol- they did, the numbers of untarily and confidentially answer people who were drugquestions and impaired provide a breath sample, as well as was fairly a saliva sample, close to with a swab stick. The swabs will those go to a lab to be who were tested for detectable levels of mar- alcoholijuana, cocaine, impaired. heroin and other It was a opiates, amphetamines and com- shocker to most of us.” mon sedatives. – Victoria Chief Const. Drivers who Jamie Graham later test positive for drugs, and those who fail a roadside breath test for alcohol consumption will not be penalized, Graham said. Tabulating the number of drivers who drive with drugs in their system will help provide government and police bodies with a clearer understanding of drug-impaired driving, he added. “The last survey they did, the numbers of people who were drug-impaired was fairly close to those who were alcohol-impaired. It was a shocker to most of us.” Previous surveys found that while alcohol use increases late at night and on weekends, drug use by drivers is more consistently found at all times throughout the week. In random survey samples, about 10 per cent of drivers tested positive for alcohol, and seven to eight per cent had a detectable level of drugs in their systems. The survey results will also help drive efforts to develop roadside drug tests, the chief said. There is still no such device. Currently, police can penalize suspected drugimpaired drivers with a 24-hour driving suspension, and have them undergo a complex series of tests. “It’s a brutally long process and it’s the best we have right now, and we know we can do better,” Graham said. “This is all about public safety, in terms of getting behind the wheel when you’re high.” For that reason the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police’s Traffic Safety Committee, which Graham chairs, is now discussing the merits of encouraging the scientific community to develop a handheld testing device. The $250,000 government-funded blitz of roadside surveys is the seventh in B.C., part of an initiative spearheaded by the Office of the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles and ICBC. emccracken@vicnews.com

The B.C. and federal governments have relaxed some of the rules for student loan repayment, part of an integrated loan program in effect starting July 1. The new repayment assistance plan allows for smaller payments for lower-income students, based on income, number of dependent children and the amount of student debt owed. The program extends the repayment time and may allow forgiveness of the original loan amount. A single parent with two children and an average annual income of $30,000 would see the minimum interest payment on a $20,000 student loan decrease from $228 to zero. A student couple with two children, combined income of $50,000 and combined loans totalling $40,000 would see their minimum payments fall from $485 to $87. Premier Christy Clark said the new repayment rules will expand the number of B.C. students eligible for relief to 20,000, replacing strict incomebased limits for loan repayment that didn’t reflect loan size or number of dependents. “It’s going to be a really big benefit for people who might find themselves $1,000 over the eligibility line,” Clark said. “Just because you’re $1,000 better off in your gross income doesn’t mean it’s going to be a whole lot easier to pay everything back.” The new repayment assistance plan also provides for forgiveness of some or all of the loan principal if students have dependents and their income stays low over time. Students with a permanent disability can qualify for full loan forgiveness if they still can’t afford the full loan payment after 10 years. B.C. student loans given out before Aug. 1, 2011 are automatically moved to the new national student loan system effective July 1. Loan recipients are supposed to receive a new agreement with the terms of the integrated loan. People with B.C. student loans in default can qualify for the integrated loan program by making at least six monthly loan payments in a row on their defaulted loan or repaying it in full. editor@goldstreamgazette.com
CRD deer group seeks public input The Capital Regional District’s deer advisory committee is seeking public input as it continues to look at options towards crafting a deer management strategy. The 11-member advisory group has started assessing different techniques regarding conflict reduction, population reduction, fertility control and bylaw options, and is inviting people to provide their input through online surveys. Some of the techniques the group is considering are: hazing and frightening; repellants; fencing; landscaping alternatives; capture and relocation; capture and euthanize; controlled public hunting; professional sharp shooting; and capture and sterilization. The Citizens Advisory Group is also looking at the study of deer-vehicle collisions, and public education and outreach to help lead the group toward its recommendations. The next CAG meeting is scheduled for today (June 27), from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Burnside Gorge Community Association, 471 Cecelia Rd. To participate in the survey, see crd.bc.ca/deermanagement.

OUR VIEW
Pay attention to plans for liquor privatization On Saturday, the provincial government’s Request For Proposals (RFP) on potential privatization of the liquor distribution system will close. This proposal, contained in the 2012-13 budget, is projected to save the government money. Beer, wine and hard liquor are already very expensive in B.C. – and this is largely due to government markup. The sale of liquor in B.C. brings in close to $900 million annually to the government in profit. Few would argue with the markup. Liquor is a luxury and it is not unreasonable that taxes on it be higher than on necessities. However, there is no way that liquor prices should go up even more just so a private operator can make a profit – particularly a private operator with a monopoly. That isn’t fair to consumers in any way. If the government wants to privatize liquor distribution, why not go all the way? Why not have competing companies do the distribution of liquor? In most U.S. states, there are numerous distributors involved in the warehousing and wholesaling of liquor, and distributing it to retail outlets. It seems to work well at keeping the price down there – although alcohol taxes are significantly lower in the U.S., which accounts for much of the price difference. The Alberta government is not involved in liquor retailing or warehousing. It is the wholesaler and contracts all warehousing and distribution, other than for most beer, to a private company. It simply takes a cut from all liquor sales in the province. My understanding is that its take has increased each year, and it has no overhead costs, as it once did when liquor was sold in government stores. The provincial government has nickeled and dimed B.C. residents a lot in recent years – with MSP premium boosts, Hydro rate increases, ICBC rate increases, the HST and many other increases. There is little real competition in the retail liquor business – prices at private stores are usually higher than at government stores, and there are rarely any sales on anything. The best deals at public and private stores seem to be on clear out merchandise. It would be massively unfair if the province cuts a deal with a distributor and the costs of liquor jump, so that that operator can collect a nice profit. Consumers need to pay close attention to this plan. - Langley Times What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@goldstreamgazette.com or fax 250-478-6545.

When I use a plastic razor, I think about Prime Minister Harper and his subordinates, who are quietly negotiating a Canada-Europe “freetrade” agreement – CETA – to match the North American agreement, NAFTA. “Free trade” – arguably a misnamed charter for increasing corporate cash-flow, and a worse fake than plastic razors - contains an explosive charge that could smash Harper’s re-election hopes. The dynamite is NAFTA’s Chapter 11, which licences corporations to sue governments across national borders for passing environmentalprotection laws that might diminish corporate profits. Canada has already paid out millions in taxpayers’ money to a U.S. corporation for forbidding the export of a poisonous but profitable substance. CEFTA – when we can winkle out some information about it – probably will prove to contain Chapter11-type weasel words that allow foreign corporations to trash Canadian environmental laws. Razor-blade conjuring-tricks don’t cause me serious worry, but Chapter 11 does nag at me. It needs to be cancelled in North America, not extended to Europe. G.E.

LETTERS Animals have just as many rights as human beings Re: Don’t feel too sorry for Fido (Editorial, June 13) Recently this paper published an editorial arguing that we should rein in our concern for non-human animals, and deer in particular. “We are the superior species,” the writer proclaimed, “and as such we must make decisions based on what is best for us, even if that means our four-legged friends miss the picnic.” But in what sense are humans superior? Medieval philosophers believed in a Great Chain of Being, which placed humans above all other earthly creatures. Modern biology has proven otherwise. Life is a tree, not a hierarchy. Each living species occupies the end of one of its 8.7 million branches. None of the branches is superior to the rest in any objective sense. It might be noted that we can reason and use language, unlike any other species. Doesn’t this prove our superiority? Remember, not all people can do these things. Some people’s capacity to reason or speak is severely compromised due to age, illness, or disability, but this does not give us license to ignore their interests. So we cannot pin our superiority to our reasoning or linguistic abilities, unless we are prepared to deny equal status to many of our fellow humans. As Jeremy Bentham wrote more than 200 years ago, “the question is not, ‘Can they reason?’ nor, ‘Can they talk?’ but, ‘Can they suffer?’” It’s time we heed Bentham’s advice, and expand our circle of concern towards all sentient creatures. Akim McMath Langford
“Gas wars” really just a business tactic I just read the story about the gas war in Langford (“How low can gas prices go?”, June 20). It really is not a gas price war, it is a tactic Costco uses to sign up new customers for a $55.00 membership fee to allow you to shop in the store or to purchase gas. They will do this again, it is a tactic that works good for their business. But I don’t know why a person would pay a membership fee to purchase gas. Ross Mayberry Colwood
Concerns over plastic bag use unfounded and excessive We went through this 30 years ago, only paper was the evil because they used so many old growth trees. Let’s remember when we ban plastic bags, we lose dry cleaning bags, dog poop bags, vegetable bags in stores, meat wrap, Serva-Pak bags and protective plastic on new furniture and household goods. Also, plastic tarps, Ziploc bags and plastic covers on new clothing which keeps them clean in the store. Going bak to paper or plastic, those who are against plastic say it costs the stores three cents a bag. Seems to me I bought T-shirt bags for less than that at retail. So the stores decided to generously give away cloth bags, we dutifully use and like them, so they went to 99 cents
each. Now they’re up to two dollars, so the stores are making some money off the bags, instead of them paying for paper or plastic bags. If this does come about, what’s next? Plastic tubs, ie. margarine, yogurt and ice cream. Remember when diapers and sanitary napkins were going to last 100 years in the dump? Plastic lasted 100 years, but now they find it takes 1000 years to decompose. I wish I knew how they find this out, because plastic is less than 100 years old. I gardened for years and used T-shirt bags as starting pots in the fall. I had to be careful handling them in the spring, so they wouldn’t tear into thin strips and fall apart, and that’s only one year. Ronald Wellwood Langford
Proposed Royal Bay ferry an exciting possibility Re.: Commuter ferry more realistic after sale of Royal Bay lands: chamber (June 13) What a great idea to have ferry service across from Royal Bay to Victoria. I can imagine also that it could become a terrific tourist attraction if development was in place along the waterfront. I would be the first passenger on board this ferry as I hate the Colwood Crawl and try to avoid going home that way at rush hour. I live on the border of Colwood and Metchosin and hope to hear about a positive outcome to this possibility. L.J. Engelbrecht Colwood
Municipalities bearing load of tough recreation decisions Re. Weighing in (June 20) The fuss over controlling payment for the common West Shore recreation facility illustrates difficulties of partnerships, be they domestic, corporate or political. If I were Highlands or Metchosin I’d be concerned that the fine Juan de Fuca recreation centre area is a very long way from my residents, but have to recognize that I can’t afford sizeable ones near my residents. On the other hand, with its much larger budget Langford should build facilities in the west end where some of their population growth is. (Hmm – also close to part of Metchosin.) And perhaps they can do something together with Highlands north of the freeway, where there is much population growth. And let’s not forget private facilities, such as those located at Western Speedway in north Langford, as well as most golf courses. Looking closer to me, note that Saanich has a substantial concentration at Tillicum Mall, but has other substantial facilities such as Commonwealth Place in the north, the growing Cedar Hill centre toward the east and perhaps others (I don’t know how open UVic’s facilities are). While Saanich has facilities in various locations, it has not distributed functions well (multiple arenas at Tillicum, multiple swimming pools at Commonwealth - while that shares expensive behind-the-scenes equipment it is not as accessible to residents in other areas). And I note merit in having facilities such as pools and libraries close to

There is more than one answer, reflecting both strategic decisions and opportunities (I understand Commonwealth Pool was built for the 1994 Commonwealth Games). Any of those decisions may be in error (some fiefdoms are even declining offers of property because of the ongoing expense of maintaining them). Of course voters must establish funding priorities. Keith Sketchley Saanich
Tracks in Langford should be permenantly paved over I was saddened and appalled as I read your article entitled “Paved over railway no cause for alarm” (June 22). I have been commuting to Langford via the Galloping Goose and Atkins Road. I rarely lose control of my bicycle, but myself and several of my bike commuting colleagues have all had terrible crashes on that exact piece of rail road that crosses Atkins. My last crash was so bad that my right knee took over a month to heal. Now I wear knee pads when I ride because I am so afraid of falling on those tracks again. My fellow bike-commuting colleagues and I were all so delighted when we discovered that those dangerous tracks had been paved over, only to find out that it would amount to but a week’s worth of stress-free riding because of Tour de Victoria. This week I thought about leaving the knee pads at home but I guess I shall have no such bliss. Julie Lavoie Saanich
Deer cull an appalling response to garden woes It seems that hardly a day goes by when someone is not complaining in our daily and weekly newspapers about the so-called deer problem. I will admit that deer are possibly causing some people headaches but are these people in the majority? I hardly think so. Deer have eaten the tops off my tulips this year and frankly, so what. Granted, I am not a gardening fanatic and I’ll just wait and see what happens to the flowers next season. The one option of culling the deer being proposed by some of these people is downright appalling. Just because a garden gets damaged by a deer, does that give the gardener the right to place a death sentence on these majestic creatures? Some say “Yes. If my finely manicured lawn gets eaten, then kill them. Kill the raccoons and the rabbits and let’s not forget the gulls and crows that cause us unbearable noise at times, not to mention leaving deposits on our precious property.“ The wildlife are here because more and more development (read that as greed) is destroying their habitat. People who are obsessed with eradicating wildlife are to me, selfish and egotistical and think they are better than anyone. Folks, you could learn from these creatures. William Jesse Oak Bay

Macular Degeneration The enemy of central vision Age Related Macular Degeneration (ARMT) is the leading cause of vision loss among people over the age of fifty. The macula is the part of the eye that provides central vision. There are two types of age-related macular degeneration, “wet” and “dry”. The most common is the “dry” type, where the gradual thinning of the macula causes a slow loss of central vision. This affects key activities such as reading, driving and recognizing faces. Peripheral vision is usually not affected. Currently, there is no treatment for “dry” ARMD, although research suggests that certain vitamins, minerals and diet may play a role in prevention. A growing body of research has linked lutein, an antioxidant found in green, leafy vegetables, to the prevention of ARMD. Diet has been examined to determine if nutrients can slow the aging process in the eye. Vitamins A and E, selenium and zinc are among the nutrients being studied. Other factors, such as smoking, alcohol intake, cumulative sun exposure and genetics have been linked to the occurrence of ARMD. “Wet”: age-related macular degeneration is less common, but may cause sudden, severe vision loss. This form of ARMD is caused by the rapid growth of abnormal blood vessels under the macula. These abnormal vessels leak fluid resulting in scarring and the subsequent loss of visual acuity. The key to treatment of “wet” ARMD is to stop the leakage of the abnormal blood vessels and thereby stop the scarring of the affected tissue. Early detection and prompt treatment is vital in limiting damage. Currently, laser therapy is used to treat this condition by destroying some of the leaking vessels. This treatment can only be used in a minority of cases. Regular eye examinations allow optometrists to look for signs of ARMD as well as other eye diseases such as glaucoma and cataracts. Optometrists can also help patients with significant vision loss by prescribing magnifying devices or low vision aids. You owe it to yourself and others to have regular eye examinations.

Francophone students on the move again Erin McCracken News staff
Amid growing demand for French language education, the region’s only public francophone elementary and high school is relocating its senior students to free up space. École Victor-Brodeur will begin offering grades 8 to 12 at the former Lampson Street elementary school in Esquimalt in September. Kindergarten to Grade 7 classes will remain at the main school site at 637 Head St. The move means a quick departure for current tenants of the Lampson property, CFB Esquimalt’s language training centre and the Military Family Resource Centre. The resource centre’s daycare will stay for another three years. Since the doors to a bigger and better Victor-Brodeur school opened in January 2007, enrolment has swelled by 66 per cent, to 612 students. It was built to accommodate 540. For the 2011-12 school year, enrolment has stood at 168 high school and 444 elementary school students. “We are planning for 650 (in September), so there is no more space,” said Bertrand Dupain, principal at Victor-Brodeur. The boom is attributed “We’d like to be all to growing in the same building, awareness of the existence but there is a limit to of the lone francophone this building. And we’re school, more very happy that we eligible families exer- surpassed the capacity cising their in a way because (that right to have their children means) we’re growing.” – Sylvain Allison educated in French, and a moderate increase in francophones to the region. According to the Victoria Francophone Society, an estimated 7,000 francophones live in Greater Victoria. The Victor-Brodeur Parents Association has only heard positive feedback about the upcoming move. “Parents are happy that we’re going to have more room, because we were running into a room problem,” association president

was we were going to stay there for a little bit longer until we had permanent facilities for the people occupying Lampson,” said Jon Burbee, CFB Esquimalt manager of real estate services. The three-year reprieve for the daycare will allow for some “breathing space” to find the next solution, he said. The goal is to place the daycare in a Department of National Defence-owned facility. The base’s French and English language school for military personnel will move to Work Point in Esquimalt. Meanwhile, seven Military Family Resource Centre staff members, who provide information and referral, social work and deployment services, will move to centres at Signal Hill near Dockyard, and Colwood. But the French second-language training program offered to military spouses at the Lampson centre still needs a new home. “We don’t anticipate losing any services or groups, workshops and activities over on the Esquimalt side due to this move,” said resource centre spokesperson Jon Chabun. emccracken@vicnews.com

(from Leigh Road on to the Trans-Canada), a southbound onramp (from the Trans-Canada onto the future Bear Mountain Parkway) and the McCallum Road connecter, which will parallel the TransCanada Highway from Spencer Road toward Savory Road and connect to Bear Mountain Parkway. An ambulance station on Leigh Road is also expected to be completed sometime in the spring of 2013. The city and private developers bought and relocated six houses that used to be on Leigh Road in order to make the road three lanes wide, with bike lanes and a sidewalk. The houses were moved to Brock Avenue on the north side of the highway and the city is still deciding whether to sell or lease them. More houses are slated for moving from Leigh Road to other locations. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Peninsula Co-op supports students with annual awards
Jim Zeeben/News staff
Knick-knack Jack Jack Darling leans on the vehicular love of his life, a 1950 Ford Coupe he’s owned since he was 21. Darling, known by some on the car show circuit as knick-knack Jack, has hung on to his beloved hot rod for 37 years. There were times, he says, when one of the four motors he swapped out proved so frustrating he thought about selling the show stopper. The chopped and customized car has also had five paint jobs and has more than 300,000 miles on it. Under the hood it has a 350 small block with a Cadillac four-speed automatic and “355 gears.” “And it’s never left me stranded in 37 years,” Darling said at the 2012 Langford Show and Shine, which shut down a stretch of Goldstream Avenue on June 24.

RCMP are searching for two people who donned Tyvek coveralls to steal a shopping cart of cell phones from the Future Shop in Langford. Police responded to multiple alarms at 1:47 a.m., June 23, at 779 McCallum Rd. Both the store’s back gate and its front doors had been pried open, police said. Police dogs were brought into the big box store in case the thieves were still somewhere inside. However, the investigators learned the suspects, thought to be men, were gone and that they had worn gloves and hoods as well as the plastic coveralls, which are sometimes used for industrial clean-up work. After breaking into the store, the suspects grabbed a shopping cart and smashed the case displaying cell phones. The exact value of the cell phones stolen wasn’t immediately known. The thieves made their getaway through the back of the store. Police are asking anyone with information on this crime to call West Shore RCMP at 250-474-2264 or CrimeStoppers (1-800-222-8477).

Printmakers capture layers of area history Kyle Wells News staff
To celebrate Victoria’s 150th anniversary a group of artists is using the medium that would have originally captured some of the city’s most well-recognized historic sites for all to see. Fifteen artists with Ground Zero Printmakers visited seven historical sites in the city to make original artworks in a variety of printmaking mediums, such as etching, silkscreen and drypoint. These prints will then be used in a series of handmade albums, one of which will be presented to the City of Victoria at the Oct. 25 council meeting. That edition will go into the city archives. Another copy will go to the library system for the public to access, another for Ground Zero’s own collection. “So that the public can enjoy these prints for the next 150 years,” said Victoria Edgarr Ground Zero creative director and project contributor. Printmaking is a form of artwork that uses a variety of materials, such as wood or metal, to make art that can be printed onto paper. The process allows you to make many nearly identical prints of the

Ground Zero Printmakers’ Creative Director Victoria Edgarr watches (back) as artist Gail Lamarche pulls a print (entitled Botanical Lesson at St. Annes) from a press at the Ground Zero workshop. same piece of artwork. Edgarr said that printmaking is a particularly apt artform to help commemorate Victoria’s history because it has been around as long as the city itself. In the days before the mass use of photographs, artists would
draw locations in the city and then engravers would use those images to make prints for newspapers and other print materials of the day. Ground Zero launched the project with an open air printmaking session at St. Ann’s Academy and have since visited the Rock Bay
neighbourhood, Beacon Hill, Bastion and Centennial squares, the Chinese cemetery at Harling Point and Chinatown, Ground Zero’s ground zero. “Every place tells you about the people who made it,” Edgarr said. “What was there before, what

is there now, historically when those things were made and the assumptions of the people who made them.” Beyond that, the artists are seeing the sites through their own experiences, influences and perspectives adding another layer of interpretation. Edgarr said that the experience has changed the way she looks at the city. Learning about the look of the city and how it developed influences her perspective as she walks its streets. “(You’re) really trying to relate it to the story of the place, the people that have lived here and that live here and that will live here.” The albums will feature 15 to 20 pieces along with text from the artists describing each work. While only a few albums are being produced, prints of individual works will be available to the public. They invite the public to see the process of creating the prints during studio visits June 30, July 28 and August 11. Ground Zero Printmakers, at 549 1/2 Fisgard St., third floor, will be open from noon to 5 p.m. those days. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Edwards’ newest work will be rehearsed for its premiere on Saturday night, the concert that will close the week showcasing the culmination of this three-day stretch. The concert will also include works by David Lang, Zosha di Castri, Karlheinz Essl, and Steve Reich as well as a premier of Adam Basanta’s “Feelings I’m Too Tired For”.

by businesses with their own vested interests, targeting high school students. It’s also a fundraising tool that 2,048 students at 81 public and private schools in B.C. accessed last year. On ChatterHigh.com, students, teachers, parents and alumni earn points by answering quizzes, and later use VICTORIA HOME MAINTENANCE & those points to enter draws for PROFESSIONAL SERVICES prizes as small as gas cards, and big ticket items such as iPads and scholarships. The questions are provided by a variety of sources – post-secondary institutions, attractions and industries, all of whom share the goal of attracting traffic deep into their websites. Each quiz question includes a hint in the form of a link to the provider’s website where the answer can be found with some light reading. Each click on hint links allows the person answering the questions to earn bonus points toward entering draws, and earns ChatterHigh some Vintage Roofing • Piluso Construction Ltd. cash, as question providers West Bay Mechanical • South Island Vinyl Deck & Rail pay six to 10 cents per click.

graduating class. It was the first time someone from the business sector took on the role, though his talk reached well beyond ChatterHigh, Harrison said. “It was serendipitous how many people it drew in,” Harrison said. Harrison justifies the inclusion of businesses on the site, most which have no clear connection to education, since they’re providing incentives for students, such as gift certificates for gas or ferry travel. “I guess we’re all enticed by prizes,” Harrison said. “The (most) time was spent on answering the questions, so that’s where it was consistent.” While Patrick Duncan, associate superintendent for the Greater Victoria School District, hasn’t experienced any negative feedback from ChatterHigh, he acknowledges the fine line the district treads between supporting commercialism and giving schools alternatives to gener“We could ate funds. make it a non“It’s a line that all principals have to look profit, but then at when you’re looking at fundraising oppor- we would have tunities and involving to spend a lot any commercial enterprises,” Duncan said. of our time “I know our principals fundraising.” are careful, but that – Lee Taal is a difficult line. It’s a principal’s prerogative and duty to be watching this.” When a student at Mount Douglas secondary asked Taal directly if his participation on the site was supporting a business, Taal said he had no qualms telling the student that ChatterHigh is clearly a business, not a non-profit. “It’s the right choice for us. We could make it a non-profit, but then we would have to spend a lot of our time fundraising, whereas the organizations that we’re trying to help with this collaboration, they have budgets. Their plan is to spend some money to do this engagement already, so that’s where the money should come from.” nnorth@saanichnews.com

No time for tea Countdown for Canada’s Londonbound Olympians Travis Paterson News staff Garrett James
And away they go, almost. The majority of the Victoria-based athletes heading to this summer’s Olympic Games were celebrated with the English flavoured Lift-off to London event, a theme fulfilled by the Fairmont Empress Hotel. Some did the queen wave longer than others (swimmers), as the spirit of the event came alive when the group left the Ivy Ballroom for a group photo on a double-decker bus in front of the Fairmont Empress Hotel. The Olympics run July 27 to Aug. 12. “It’s not long now, which is nice because this is the most exhaustive training block I’ve ever done,” said swimmer Alec Page. The Victoria native has his days ahead figured out before he competes in the 400 individual medley on July 28. “No easy ones until we get to London the week before the Games,” he said. That includes the internationally attended Canada Cup swim meet in Montreal, July 5 to 8. Page is one of seven swimmers going to the London Olympics from the Victoria Academy of Swimming at Saanich Commonwealth Place. At 18, Page will be one year younger in London than Ryan Cochrane was in Beijing. “I have a few Olympics ahead of me, that’s for sure.” Lift-off to London opened with Wendy Pattenden, CEO of the Canadian Sport Centre Pacific, explaining that Greater Victoria-based athletes account for approximately 15 per cent of the Olympic squad. “The goal is to finish among the top 12 nations,” she said.
Canucks draft pick Wes Myron exploded as an NHL prospect in the fall of 2011. His BCHL scoring pace of 42 points in 26 games with the Victoria Grizzlies earned him a last-minute spot on Team Canada West, which won the World Junior A Challenge in November.

Swimmer Blake Worsley, rower Derek O’Farrell, and swimmers Stephanie Horner and Alec Page pose atop the London flavoured double-decker bus with two dozen members of the Canadian Olympic and Paralympic teams. The Lift-off to London event celebrated athletes going to the London Olympics and Paralympics at the Fairmont Empress Hotel last Wednesday (June 20). Canada would be happy to beat its second best result from the Summer Olympics, which was seven golds and 18 medals in total from the 1992 Games in Barcelona. Canada’s top finish was
the 1984 Games in Los Angeles when it benefitted from the Soviet Union’s boycott, winning 10 golds and 44 medals in all, and ranking sixth place. sports@vicnews.com
Men’s eight on course Travis Paterson News staff
Travis Paterson/News staff
Rowers Conlin McCabe and Rob Gibson of the men’s eight hope to defend their boat’s gold medal in London.
Drifting in late to the June 20 Liftoff to London event were members of the men’s eight boat. The crew raced in from the ferry, returning directly from a rowing stint on Burnaby Lake. Their absence from the formal introductions of the event was notable, and rightly so. They are the defenders of something precious, one of Canada’s three gold medals from the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Their boat was recently featured in MacLeans and Sportsnet magazines, among others, and gets more attention than any other boat. Rob Gibson is one of six rowers
new to the crew since 2008, and is quick to complement coxswain Brian Price for handling the first wave of questions thrown at the team. “We’re lucky to have Price, and it’s good that he gets that focus,” Gibson said. “He doesn’t get enough of it.” The men’s eight will be the centre of attention once again this week as Rowing Canada will officially confirm its Victoria-based Olympic crews at Elk Lake on Thursday. Among the many crews to be named are David Calder and Scott Fransden of the men’s pair (heavyweight), and Patricia Obee and Lindsay Jennerich of the women’s double (lightweight). Canada Post will be on hand to release a commemorative stamp. sports@vicnews.com
With core changes happening to the Victoria Royals and the Victoria Grizzlies, and one of Saanich’s own getting drafted to the NHL, it’s like hockey season all over again. In the span of three days, from June 20 to 22, Memorial Cup winner Marc Habscheid resigned as coach and general manager of the WHL Royals; B.C. Hockey League legend Bill Bestwick was appointed as coach and GM of the Grizzlies; the Vancouver Canucks selected Saanich’s Wes Myron in the sixth round (177th) of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft; and two Royals were also drafted, Steven Hodges to the Florida Panthers, in the third round (84th) and Logan Nelson to the Buffalo Sabres in the fifth round (133rd). Hodges joins a long line of Royals/Chilliwack Bruins to be drafted, including a handful of Bruins who’ve dressed for NHL games, while Nelson wears the badge as the first player drafted from the Royals who didn’t play for Chilliwack. For Myron, getting drafted to the NHL is an extension of his sensational start to the 2011-12 season with the Grizzlies. If anything, the Lambrick Park grad should be seen as a poster boy for the benefits of a heavy offseason workout regime. Myron was near the top of the BCHL in scoring when he left for a school tour of Boston University and other NCAA universities in October. He came back just in time to help Team Canada West win the World Junior A challenge in mid-November, and then committed to Boston University. A shoulder injury ended his season 26 games in and was the beginning of the end of the Grizzlies’ season. But the Canucks and Boston University saw enough of what they liked. Habscheid’s resignation comes as a surprise. His family relocated to Victoria in 2011 so he could continue his role with the Royals, although he is not leaving the Royals’ family per se. He has taken an executive role as an advisor with GSL Holdings Ltd., which owns RG Properties Ltd. (owner of the Royals), Officepools.com, a successful hockey pool website, and the chain of Planet Ice community rinks in B.C. His successor will likely be named within a month. Across town, local finance man Ron Walchuk took majority ownership of the Grizz and hired Bestwick. sports@vicnews.com

Rain delay The crummy weather which kept Union JumpShip spectators to a minimum on Friday and Saturday, lifted for a wellattended finale on Sunday. The Inner Harbour sparkled with spandex on Sunday as 1,650 Tour de Victoria cyclists finished in front of the legislature, adding to the thousands of cyclist fans who turned up for the last day of the Victoria International Cycling Festival. Bottom right: Jillian Legare and Meaghan Thorkelson come prepared for Saturday’s showers. The two were part of an enthusiastic crowd which braved the wind and rain that cancelled the JumpShip contest on Saturday.

NEWS GAZETTE
Elderly driver mistakenly hit gas in Blanshard pileup, say police Victoria police believe an elderly driver hit the gas instead of the brake, which set off a chain of events including a pedestrian and four other cars being struck on June 20. VicPD crash team analysts continue to investigate the noonhour incident, which forced the closure of Blanshard Street from Hillside to Caledonia avenues for the afternoon. The chaos began when a gold Toyota Corolla, heading north in the curbside lane on Blanshard Street, ran a red light at Bay Street, striking a 40-year-old woman walking across Blanshard, police say. The pedestrian suffered a broken leg. The Corolla then struck another vehicle and veered into the southbound traffic lane on Blanshard, where it sideswiped two cars and hit another head-on. The 85-year-old driver and his 82-yearold female passenger suffered minor injuries. No charges will be contemplated until the investigation is complete, said Mike Tucker, with VicPD. emccracken@vicnews.com
