Calling all doctors Solutions to family physician shortage begin with collaboration: stakeholders Erin McCracken News staff

A shortage of family doctors in the Capital Region has left thousands of people without consistent medical care and doctors struggling to meet demand – a problem that will soon worsen as many physicians approach retirement age.

“It’s absolutely a crisis,” said Dr. Mark Sherman, one of five family doctors at the Victoria Community Health Co-operative, where physician recruitment efforts are ongoing.

Fewer doctors are left to shoulder the burden of more complex health issues that come with Greater Victoria’s aging population.

“Patient care is appalling,” said Dr. Cara Ewert with Herald Street Health.

“It’s all just a little bit overwhelming.”

There are 13 available positions for permanent, part-time and substitute, or locum, family physicians in the Capital Region listed on the Vancouver Island Health Authority’s website.

But the vacancy rate from Sooke to Sidney is likely higher, doctors say, and those numbers are expected to climb in the next five to 10 years, as many physicians look to retire. On average, family physicians in the Capital Region are in their late 50s.

“Doctors here are older than just about anywhere in B.C. It’s just reflective of the general demographics here,” said Andrew Hume, the executive director for the South Island Division of Family Practice, one of 31 community based and provincially funded groups of family

physicians in the province.

“We generally say that physicians should plan one year to recruit,” said Brenda Warren, VIHA manager of physician recruitment.

Esquimalt will continue to be policed by the Victoria Police Department.

Justice Minister Shirley Bond’s decision, announced Wednesday, effectively kills the township’s request last June to switch from Victoria police to the RCMP. “We’re very disappointed,” said Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins, who chairs the Esquimalt Policing and Law Enforcement Advisory Panel, which made the request to change policing providers.

“They have completely ignored the panel process, the process that they put in place originally. It’s an insult to the panel. Amalgamation is not the decision of the panel.”

But Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin, who serves as the Victoria Police Board chair, is elated. “We’ve been delivered some certainty. We’ve been delivered a blueprint for the future, how we can improve the services of an amalgamated force for all the citizens,” he said.

Though Esquimalt will continue to be policed by Victoria officers, the province has ordered several changes at the police board level. The police board was subject to a review late last year amid ongoing disagreements over funding and governance models, as well as concerns over the absence of a formal complaint process.

Teachers, government reach tentative agreement Contract deal sees relief, frustration Natalie North News staff

While some Greater Victoria school trustees are breathing a sigh of relief over the tentative collective agreement reached between B.C. teachers and the province on Tuesday, others are speaking out against the deal.

Despite a recommendation

of acceptance from the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation, Greater Victoria Teachers’ Association president Tara Ehrcke isn’t voting in support of the agreement with the British Columbia Public School Employers’ Association.

“I think (the BCTF) was concerned that the government was planning on legislating the concessions they had on the table and it was nervousness of that impending legislation that probably led to the agreement,” Ehrcke said, noting her decision to vote con-

trary to the BCTF doesn’t reflect a broader decision made by members of the GVTA. During the last contract negotiations in 2005, the GVTA did not make a vote recommendation to its members. The outcome of the teachers’ vote on the deal is expected by July 4.

Acceptance of the agreement will allow schools to resume classes next fall with teachers resuming extra-curricular activities and meetings with school administration.

Greater Victoria Board of Education chairperson Peg Orcherton sees the agreement as a positive sign for the relationship between teachers and the province.

“It was a surprise – a happy surprise,” she said. “I’m hoping this opportunity will give everyone a chance to step back from the brink and collect their breath and their thoughts.”

Michael McEvoy, president of the B.C. School Trustees’ Association called the tentative agreement a small step in the right direction.

“Over the last number of months, it’s been very, very difficult and we’re just very pleased that the parties have resolved and worked so hard to reach a resolution,” he said. “There are a lot of issues that are off the table and not a part of the resolution here, but that’s a part of collective bargaining. You don’t get everything that you want.”

Papier-mâché replaces plastic in greening of Canada Day Bike valet parking among city’s other new initiatives

Canada Day by the numbers This year’s Canada Day celebrations have a $200,000 budget, up from $175,000 last year.

That’s thanks to a grant to bring in Montreal-based bilingual hip hop group, Radio Radio, which headlines the mainstage July 1. The Province of Quebec and Francophone Affairs B.C. supplied $20,000 to bring the act to Victoria.

“It’s an expensive party to throw, but it’s something the local businesses have picked up on in a big way,” said Jeff Day, cultural services co-ordinator for the City.

Sponsorships and grants make up $175,000 of the budget. The City contributed $25,000, plus in-kind services such as street cleaning.

Roszan Holmen News staff

Cyclists often feel like second-class citizens on the roads – but at the upcoming Canada Day celebrations, they’ll be treated like the valet-parking elite.

New this year, the city will provide valet service to cyclists by the legislature. It will allow people to leave their bikes with an attendant who will wheel it away to a secured area, said Amanda Wilcox with Fan Tan Group, a company contracted by the City to host the Canada Day celebrations.

No bike lock is necessary – just show photo ID and receive a ticket to claim your bike later in the evening.

“I think a lot of people would love to bring their bike, but they don’t want to worry about it if they’re going to be downtown for a while,” said organizing committee member Coun.

Charlayne Thornton-Joe. Bike valet is just one of several new initiatives to make the two-day, city hosted Canada Day festivities more environmentally friendly.

Fireworks company Pro Fx is replacing the plastic casings on its fireworks with ones made of papier-mâché.

All food vendors at the international food court at Ship Point will be required to use compostable containers. The City is also supplying not just garbage cans, but recycling and compost bins as well.

“The Canada Green Team will be around with a bunch of recycling bins, ensuring that all recyclables are returned to their proper containers,” Wilcox said.

The Bottle Depot will collect the beverage containers and donate the proceeds to the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock.

These green initiatives have added a little more cost, but they also likely attracted new sponsors, Thornton-Joe said. This year the

Thornton-Joe has been involved in the celebrations since 2000, when she was president of the Greater Victoria Inter-Cultural Association.

In that year, ICA took over the celebrations from the Chamber of Commerce.

When Thornton-Joe joined city council, the file stayed with her and she’s continued to

ensure the city’s diversity is reflected in the event through its performances and food.

“For me, I got involved because I took it for granted, being born and raised here, about being Canadian,” she said. That changed through her work with the ICA where, she said, “you meet people who have left their homes to come to Canada for a better life.” rholmen@vicnews.com

This year, the City has rescued the annual living flag event from former organizers, the Downtown Victoria Business Association.

To participate, wear red or white shirts and head to the legislature grounds by 2 p.m. on July 1 to be photographed with about 2,000 others in formation of the Canadian flag.

At noon, the city will hand out 1,000 shirts to participants without red or white clothing.

Transit braces for Canada Day rush Don’t bring your booze on the bus on July 1 Erin McCracken News staff

When tens of thousands of people flood downtown Victoria to celebrate Canada Day on Sunday, it will be all hands on deck at B.C. Transit.

The bus company is hoping to put an extra 40 buses on the road, bringing the total to 72, to help transport the masses home after the festivities draw to a close.

An additional 10 bus stops along Douglas Street in the core will also be established with temporary signage, where people can catch a ride home.

Other plans are in the works. “Every year we get better at co-ordination, so this year we are using side streets as a holding or staging area for our buses, a little bit closer to the Inner Har-

Environmentally Friendly “Green� Cabinetry

New Victoria police officers may not be immediately hired, as a way of offsetting overtime costs incurred on Canada Day. The trend in the last two years has been to sometimes delay hiring for several months, allowing the department to keep to its allotted $2-million annual overtime budget. “That’s one way of creating funds if you need them elsewhere,� said Victoria Police Department controller Scott Seivewright. “That’s one of our only flexibilities.�

With just days to go before

tens of thousands of people flood into the downtown to celebrate Canada Day, Victoria police are winding up almost a year of preparation for their busiest day and most expensive overtime shift.

After racking up $128,000 in overtime costs last July 1, the department unsuccessfully asked for a $60,000 increase to its $40,000 Canada Day overtime budget. In 2010, the overtime bill was $63,000.

Uniformed members, such as patrol officers, are paid time-anda-half if they work the statutory holiday. The majority of VicPD officers from other units who are called in specially to work the Canada Day shift are paid overtime.

If this year’s Canada Day overtime budget goes over by $60,000, the department may consider delaying the hiring of

two replacement officers by four months, equivalent to about $60,000. “But, again, we don’t have those officers working for those four months,� Seivewright said, which is the reason why the department asked for more money.

The department currently has a full roster of 243 officers.

The department is deploying about the same number of officers to police Canada Day this year as it did in 2011, though police wouldn’t say how many.

Outlying services, such as the Oak Bay Police Department, will provide additional uniformed support at no cost to Victoria. “The police chief and deputy chiefs ensure that we have adequate resources (on duty), and if we need to reallocate budgets to make that happen then that’s what we do,� Seivewright said. emccracken@vicnews.com

Do your homework before buying or selling a house.

Selling or buying a new house can be a complicated process and involves a lot of planning - and often a little ingenuity, too. Considering the size of the investment you have made in your house, it’s worth your while to take the time to learn how to protect it and yourself.

Here are some tips to get you started: Show your house in its best light.

Your house might be competing against others in the area, so you’ll want to give yourself every possible advantage. A clean house makes a good impression and shows that the house has been well looked after. It’s what buyers want to see. A fresh coat of paint and some light decor can revitalize the interior and make it attractive and appealing. It presents a positive image of your house and can help make for a successful sale.

Stay informed about housing market conditions.

Do your research and learn what factors affect the housing market and the prices in the neighbourhood. Understand how they would apply to your house, either buying or selling it. Scan the news, real estate magazines, the Internet and any other related resources.

It’s also beneficial to consult with industry professionals; mortgage brokers and realtors can advise and assist you with pricing, market conditions, financial processes and legal requirements.

Confirm that your insurance coverage is current.

If you’re having an open house, ensure your home and

possessions are protected.

Safely store valuables whenever you are having people passing through the house in your absence, and confirm that your insurance is both valid, and provides proper coverage for your house, personal belongings and liability.

Overflowing with pride Gay, transgender communities seek full human rights Erin McCracken News staff

Just below the surface of the fun during Pride Week – from a drag baseball game to a parade to a comedy night – will be a very serious message.

Pride 2012 is a week of celebration and pride, helping empower Greater Victoria’s gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender communities, as well as generating support for full human rights.

The festivities kick off tomorrow (June 30) with an art walk, parties, a potluck barbecue picnic and a show at Belfry Theatre.

More public events are planned for every day of the week, wrapping up with the Victoria Pride Parade and Festival on July 8. “People tend to listen if it’s interesting,� said Laurissa Chapple, spokesperson for the Victoria Pride Society. “That’s the reality.�

Though there have been significant advancements in gay rights over the years in Canada, efforts must continue, Chapple said. People are still fearful of being open about their personal lives, even holding hands with their partner in public. “How often do you hear a woman introduce her wife?� the Victoria resident said.

Oaklands neighbourhood markets offer enticements for young adults Roszan Holmen News staff

Community-based farm markets often come with live music to help draw the crowds, but the Oaklands neighbourhood is taking the idea to the next level.

The Oaklands Sunset Series will see market activities paired with a rotating schedule of events including music, theatre and even sports.

It kicks off July 4 with a con-

cert called Star Spangled Melodies, headlined by local musician Aidan Knight. There will also be a beer garden and a chef will be on hand making pizza.

The Sunset Series, to run every other Wednesday, is family friendly but specifically caters to young adults, said Kristi Rivait, executive director of the Oaklands Community Centre.

“We often are able to support events for families and parents and youth and kids, but this is a

nice spot for young adults,” she said. “It’s nice to be able to give (them) a chance to be involved in the community.”

Subsequent events will feature a talent show (July 18), a dinner theatre (Aug. 1) and finally, street hockey (Aug. 15).

The market includes both food vendors and artisans.

Centennial walk planned for Esquimalt Get to know Esquimalt and celebrate the township’s centennial at an upcoming community walk.

The free event on July 12, hosted by the Township of Esquimalt and organized by the Garden City Wanderers, Victoria Y and Juan de Fuca Volkssport clubs, features five- and 10-kilometre routes.

Besides the centennial, the walk marks the 25th anniversary of the Canadian Volkssport Federation.

The first one-hour leg sees walkers travel along the waterfront, through Macaulay Point and Saxe Point parks. People wanting to soak up more of Esquimalt on foot can continue on for another hour for an additional five kilometres, along

trails and through neighbourhoods such as West Bay. This leg includes a jaunt to the top of Highrock Park, the

highest point in the township.

Walkers meet at the Archie Browning Sports Centre at 5:30 p.m., for a 6 p.m. start.

OUR VIEW

Accept others’ differences In thinking about today’s editorial on Pride Week, which gets underway tomorrow (June 30), we were conflicted over what context to put a recent a gay-bashing incident in downtown Victoria.

After a man dropped bullet shell casings at the feet of individuals standing in front of a gay nightclub, and used homophobic epithets, We should all Victoria police take pride during the categorized it as a hate Pride Week crime. We didn’t see that one incident as proof of a general lack of intolerance.

Instead, the fact such cases are rare these days, at least those involving police, gave us reason to consider how far we’ve come as a community in dispensing with biases and stigmas against people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, queer and questioning.

Acceptance, inclusivity and the empowerment of people, no matter what their sexual orientation or gender conflict, are some of the motivating factors behind the annual Pride Week activities.

Pride Week, with its colourful, flamboyant parade, rollicking softball game and other events, was once a curiosity to the general public. Now it’s simply another fun, family friendly activity on a busy summer calendar of events in Victoria.

Speaking of summer, gay tourism is actively promoted for the region. Tourism Victoria has a full page of links to LGBTQ-friendly sites, entertainment and resources in the area.

With numerous local clubs and organizations catering to the LGBTQ community, and school districts and post-secondary institutions spending more time creating an environment of acceptance for all students, it seems Greater Victoria is becoming a safer place to be gay.

While some might hold up the insensitive and angry actions of one person as further evidence that the situation is grim, we choose to celebrate the fact that more people are finding the courage to come out and others are finding the courage to accept that.

The other issue causing The attacks on environmentalists consternation has been the attacks have been characterized as attacks by the Harper government on on American interests that want a

say in Canadian affairs. While worth a look, I think the issue of U.S. funding of Canadian environmental groups is a bit of a red herring. The Stephen Harper-supported think tank, the Fraser Institute, receives funding from American sources, too. That funding includes the Koch brothers, Americans with massive oil interests in Canada.

It seems that our PM just doesn’t understand what an environmentalist is in British Columbia, or that B.C., unlike Alberta, has a history of activism on all sides of the political spectrum.

It may be a group with international ties, but often it’s locally based. Even more often it’s a single person, the person who gives up their weekend to remove invasive species from city parks, your neighbour who helps to rehabilitate fish habitat, or the kid who paints fish symbols by storm drains. These people are our family, our friends, our neighbours and coworkers. They are British Columbians.

They are not terrorists. They are not anti-Canadian. They are British Columbians who are concerned about the health of their province, their country and all of its residents.

Harper may feel that Alberta and business take precedence. But the prime minister has to understand Canada is not a one-size-fits-all country, and that he was elected to represent all of our interests, not just his personal concerns and those of his home province.

LETTERS Many good reasons for church’s assets Re: Pope having a butler raises eyebrows (Letters, June 22) Yes. The Pope has a butler.

Mr. Lamb has covered a lot of territory in his letter. There are a few key points that would benefit from some clarification.

Yes, there is a Vatican Bank, or as it’s more properly called, The Institute for Works of Religion. It was formed to provide for the safekeeping and administration of property and assets that are donated to the church. It is a not-for-profit institution and any surplus is used for religious or charitable services.

The property and artistic treasures of the Catholic Church do not belong to any individual.

They are administered by the church, but are for the benefit of all of humanity. That’s why they are not sold to pay expenses.

Yes, the Pope has a butler. This is not a reflection of his wealth, but rather of the busy life he leads as the head of a very large organization.

All churches and charitable organizations solicit donations in order to carry on operations.

It does not follow that amassing material capital is a church’s

primary aim. People have given, are giving, and will continue to give to the church because they believe it is fulfilling its stated goals.

Anastasia Pearse Saanich

Speak out strongly for your Canadian values Re: Democracy wilting in Ottawa (Our View, June 15) That was the most polite way of saying the Harper government is screwing with Canadian values I have ever read.

At the top of the list of Canadian values, I believe, are caring for others and the environment. They actually go hand in hand, because as we wrestled our nation out from the wilderness, supporting each other was a necessity.

Today, many aspects of the internationally recognized characteristics of being Canadian – things like universal health care and education, the protection of our food and the preservation of our diverse nature – are being threatened by a government hellbent on throwing the individual aside and opening the floodgates to profiteering of all that we value.

Here in the Saanich-Gulf Islands

riding I may be preaching to the converted, speaking to those who saw the need for responsible government and ousted the smooth-talking status quo.

But a reminder to us all: voice your opinions, take action and be loud and clear. Contact (the less than honourable) Mr. Harper and his puppet ministers on a regular basis. It will indeed be a long few years and it is our responsibility to make it not end badly.

Graffiti removal needs team approach Re: Graffiti removal ends in wake of Saanich budget cutbacks (Vic News online) It’s interesting to learn that Saanich has cut part of its graffiti removal budget, with the end result being, I fear, graffiti will start building up in the community.

The City of Victoria, on the other hand, is calling on citizens to fight against graffiti in hopes that increased reporting will reduce tagging.

The Downtown Victoria Business Association alone has a budget of $144,000, plus $15,000 in equipment for its clean teams, which will paint over graffiti for

free.

I think our municipality and businesses need to co-ordinate their efforts to help remove graffiti. Certainly it will cost money to do that, but there is no other way around it.

Brian Butterfield Saanich

Execs’ pay explanations don’t make sense

“holdback?”

Cadieux said the “new compensation package” was approved by the CLBC’s board of directors and the public sector employees’ union and took effect on April 1.

How convenient to justify another permanent and generous pay raise.

Martin Battle Victoria

Wow, another week of the B.C. Liberals’ gibberish and verbal shuffling in order to appease a very bewildered public.

Both Premier Christy Clark and Social Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux recently declared that Community Living B.C. executives did not receive a pay hike. They insisted the annual bonus the managers receive is just a “salary holdback.”

Why would you hold back part of a person’s salary and call it a bonus? Was it a performance bonus or not? The public understands that a performance bonus is paid out only if certain conditions or quotas are met, usually on an annual basis.

What would have happened if the annual targets or quotas were not met? Would the provincial government then deduct part of the employee’s salary from their

Doctors helping to recruit more physicians to the Capital Region Continued from Page A1

“Some of them, it takes a couple of years to fill (a position).”

But solutions may be on the horizon. Hundreds of doctors in the region are finding their collective voice through the Divisions of Family Practice, which works in cooperation with health authorities, a joint provincial physician/Ministry of Health service committee and the ministry itself. Together, physicians at the community level are taking steps to map out strategies to address issues such as recruitment and retention.

“As family doctors dealing oneon-one with individual patients, we really felt we were in a unique role to advocate on the ground,

right at the grassroots level,” said Dr. Kathy Dabrus, who sits on the Victoria Division of Family Practice’s board of directors. “There hasn’t been a voice previously.”

The Victoria division, which started last November, now has 187 members.

To better understand physician demographics, divisions will survey members this summer.

South Island members plan to come together in September to develop strategies, based on survey results. A recruitment working group will likely emerge from that process, Hume said.

The South Island division began in October 2010, and has 150 family physician members on the West Shore and the Saanich Peninsula.

Collaboration among physicians, the divisions, B.C.’s Ministry of Health and the health authority, among other stakeholders, is imperative to address the shortage, Hume said.

“It’s a whole community approach, so part of our strategy has to be, ‘how are we going to work with municipal governments and community based agencies, and other health providers, health authorities, the ministry, to identify resources?’”

Such municipalities as Esquimalt, which has one family practice but enough work for two or three, are looking to be part of the solution.

The township is taking steps this fall to develop a physician recruit-

ment strategy, in co-operation with VIHA and through consulting Esquimalt-based family doctors.

“Esquimalt is an expensive place to move into (and buy a house), and also business and commercial taxes are higher,” said Mayor Barb Desjardins.

Zoning or tax policy changes, advertising and the development of an information package to introduce doctors to Esquimalt could be part of the township’s recruitment strategy, said Bill Brown, director of development services.

“Hopefully our municipality will be a leader in developing protocols in policies for physician recruitment,” he said.

In an example of teamwork, the South Island division is spearhead-

ing a working group of stakeholders on the Peninsula to develop a comprehensive multi-practice primary health-care centre.

“A municipal government can play a very active role in terms of assisting with the provision of facilities or possibly land, zoning, bylaws, to make it more attractive (for doctors) and support that kind of development in their community,” Hume said.

Collaborative, long-term solutions can’t happen soon enough for doctors facing an imminent tidal wave of patients orphaned by retiring physicians.

“We need new or practising doctors to move to Victoria to set up or join a practice,” Sherman said. emccracken@vicnews.com

by Oct. 31, in an effort to improve police board relations, by improving the service delivery model, establishing an equitable funding formula and an open budget process, and creating a conflictresolution process.

As well, two new community advisory committees will be created by Nov. 30, allowing residents to provide input on policing to the board.

The board will also be restructured by Oct. 31 to provide more collaboration.

The mediator also suggested the board be led by two co-chairs, but that will only be decided as the framework agreement

is negotiated.

Fortin currently chairs the board, while Desjardins serves as vice-chair.

The framework agreement will be reviewed in three years by the provincial director of police services.

An emergency Esquimalt council meeting will be held early next week to address the township’s next steps. emccracken@ vicnews.com

Esquimalt won’t pursue Japanese twin After years of on- and off-again effort to twin Esquimalt with a municipality in Japan, the idea has again been nixed.

“It’s an unfortunate set of circumstances,” said Mayor Barb Desjardins, following council’s decision not to forge a twinning connection with Tagajo, Japan. The suggestion was made last month by Canada’s ambassador to Japan, Jonathan Fried.

The township has been interested in twinning with Onagawa, Japan, located in the same prefecture as Tagajo, since at least 1989. A twinning task force was created by 1992. The twinning idea was shelved, given limited resources, but later resurfaced in 2010.

It’s estimated that municipal twinning budgets range from zero dollars to $25,000.

“I think there’s a lot of value in it, but I don’t think that in these fiscally restrained years that it will happen,” she said. emccracken@vicnews.com

City contracting out questioned Roszan Holmen News staff

In 2011, the city paid $72 million to external parties, much of which went to private companies for goods and services.

That’s up from $60.2 million in 2007.

It’s what Coun. Ben Isitt refers to as a “creep of contracted services.” He points to tree maintenance as an example.

In 2011, the city paid Bartlett Tree Experts $551,959 and Davey Tree Services $245,666.

“These two companies provide staff, expertise and equipment which the city does not possess,” said City of Victoria

spokesperson Katie Josephson, noting their services include “maintenance of hazardous trees, maintenance work where higher capacity aerial trucks and climbing is required.”

Isitt, however, argues that keeping the work in house “would be way more cost-effective for the city.” Aside from cost, he supports maintaining control over services. Commissionaires, for example, have the power to levy parking fines, but do not report to city management.

“Does the city have enough control to provide a service that doesn’t deter people from coming downtown?” Isitt asked.

Privatization of services is a

philosophy and a growing preference, he said. “I think we have to revisit that.”

Coun. Geoff Young said he has no philosophical bias in either direction.

“Ben tends to stress contracting in, but I think he would concede that it would make equal sense to look at contracting out if money saving, rather than political philosophy, is the issue,” he wrote in an email to the News.

Bateman Centre separates itself from Royal Roads The Robert Bateman Centre’s decision to base its operations on the Inner Harbour instead of at Royal Roads University has forced a decision onto donors to the program.

The university, which has, for several years, been working on plans to build Bateman’s arts and environmental educational

centre on campus, must contact those who have given money to the Royal Roads Foundation for the project, to see if they’re interested in funding a centre downtown.

“There was certainly a great deal of effort and energy invested on the part of a number of folks on campus,” said Royal Roads’

associate vice-president of community relations, Paul Corns.

While the Bateman Centre will be based at the former CPR building in Victoria, Corns said the university will remain open to pursuing educational opportunities related to the organization and its activities. editor@vicnews.com

■ CRD Hartland Landfill open house ■ June 24 ■ Hartland Landfill

Hartland Open House: Where learning at the landfill meets fun!

Do you ever think about where that banana peel or plastic bag ends up after you have thrown it “away?”

Hartland landfill is our region’s “away” and lucky for us it is an award-winning landfill.

Last Sunday’s open house at Hartland provided residents with a behind-the-scenes look at how the landfill works and helped raise awareness about how waste is managed.

Hartland receives garbage from across the region, processing more than 450 tonnes per day. Event participant Jim from Saanich commented, “I had no idea Hartland had so many environmental stewardship programs and recycling services. My kids and I really enjoyed ourselves and look forward to coming to the next open house.”

Activities included guided tours, a mini-machines giant sandbox, the opportunity to climb aboard monster machines like tractors and bulldozers, as well as a complimentary barbecue prepared by the Central Saanich Lion’s Club.

Event participants learned about waste reduction, composting, water conservation, energy efficiency and the regional parks. Cash donations were also collected for the United Way.

“Almost three-years-old”, Colin Gillese shows his driving form in one of the landfill’s large trucks.

Police investigate homophobic ‘hate crime’

FRIDAY, JUNE 29 TO MONDAY, JULY 2

Get

Erin McCracken News staff

An incident Sunday night in which a male suspect allegedly threw empty bullet shell casings at patrons outside a gay nightclub in Victoria has cast a shadow on preparations for Pride Week, says the club spokesperson. “I’m getting a little bit worried about the safety of the people,� said Attila Bassett with the Paparazzi Nightclub. “Throwing gun shells at people, that’s terrible.�

The business is trying to prepare for Pride Week festivities, June 30 to July 8, “but it gets more and more difficult because you keep worrying what’s going to happen next,� he said.

The incident happened just over a week after Bassett was the target of homophobic comments posted online, which he reported to police. “It seems like we’re being pushed back 100 years,� he added. “But I know that the community is strong and they’re going to stand behind (Pride Week).�

Victoria police are seeking the public’s help in identifying a man who allegedly made homophobic comments to a group of people outside the club, before empty shell casings were hurled at their feet, around 8 p.m. “It was clearly an identified threat, clearly focusing toward the (lesbian, bisexual, gay and transgender) community, so it is classified as a hate crime,� said Victoria police Staff Sgt. Darren Laur.

Since then, police have been canvassing the area for video surveillance. “One of the challenges that we have is that the two witnesses involved give two different descriptions (of the suspect),� said Laur. “So it makes it more challenging for us, but I can tell you in 27 years of policing, I have never seen an incident like that take place.�

The common description for the suspect is that he is a white male in his 20s. Anyone with information is asked to call Victoria police at 250-995-7444, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. emccracken@vicnews.com

Cricketer brings game to university UVic student leads university cricket team and tournament

Meyyappan joined the Incogs in 2009, and is at the core of the team’s centennial season, which is being celebrated this summer. Meyyappan also coaches the Colts youth team, which plays in the less competitive midweek league, and runs the UVic cricket club.

Shamrocks face tough road trip

Corey Small of the Victoria Shamrocks shoots while leaping through the air against goalie Neil Tyacke of the New Westminster Salmonbellies.

Small scored a goal and four assists as the Shamrocks won 12-10 at Bear Mountain Arena last Friday.

The Victoria Shamrocks passed a great hurdle last week, defeating the New Westminster Salmonbellies 12-10.

The win put the Shamrocks in a tie with the Langley Thunder for first in the Western Lacrosse Association. Beating the rival Salmonbellies is a measuring stick for the Rocks, which is the second-ranked club in the country this week on the Subway LacrosseTalk rankings.

The Rocks are on the road against the Burnaby Lakers tonight (June 29) and Thunder tomorrow. sports@vicnews.com

Kaufman was the first to win the belt in 2010. Rousey is the current title holder.

The fight will last five rounds.

Former Victoria area men’s fastball players are invited to take part in an alumni pickup game, 1 p.m. Saturday (June 30) at MacDonald Park in James Bay. Players are encouraged to bring their vintage jerseys and hats. The game is part of this weekend’s Doug Smithson Memorial tourney.

ROAD TO LONDON

Olympic facts Park is green to the extreme London Olympic Park is 2.5square kilometres in size. At Games time, the park will include more than 4,000 trees, 74,000 plants, 60,000 bulbs and 350,000 wetlands plants.

It was the largest planting project ever undertaken in the U.K.

FOCUSED ON GOLD

2,000 newts find new home More than 90 per cent of demolition materials from the Olympic Park site were recycled or reused. More than 2,000 newts were relocated from the park to the Waterworks nature reserve in Leyton, just north of London.

Volunteers put in their time Approximately 70,000 volunteers, called Games Makers, will deliver eight million volunteer hours after receiving one million hours of training.

More than 1.2 kilometres of fabric, 730,610 buttons and 1,069,034 zippers were used to make volunteer uniforms.

Saanich swimmer Ryan Cochrane eyes top spot on Olympic podium Story by CHARLA HUBER

H

opefully the second time is the charm for Ryan Cochrane.

With an Olympic bronze medal already around his neck, the elite Saanich swimmer is hoping to add gold to his collection this summer in London.

The 23-year-old will be competing in the 400metre freestyle and 1,500-metre freestyle events.

Cochrane was the first Canadian to finish the 1,500-metre race in less than 15 minutes. He broke the record in 2007 with a time of 14:59.02.

Building up endurance for the long race, Cochrane swims steadily for 50 minutes at a time. At the 2008 Beijing Games, Cochrane felt a little disappointed standing on the third-place podium.

“I remember touching the wall (of the pool) and being a bit livid at myself,” Cochrane says.

“I was standing on the podium realizing I was a small step away from first.”

This time around he hopes to hear the Canadian anthem playing for him.

While a gold medal is the goal, Cochrane says the training, time and effort he has put in is the best he can do. He spends upwards of five hours per day in the pool and does dryland training with weights and pilates.

Exhaustion comes with the territory, especially when he’s pushing himself as hard as he has been. “I am too tired to cook, too tired to watch TV, all I can do is stare at the wall at the end of the day.”

While the preparation is strenuous, he is training with seven other members of the Olympic team and that is helping him “push to be a world-class athlete.”

Standing six-foot-three, Cochrane has a bit of an advantage in the pool, “It helps having longer limbs – you want your hand to hit the wall first,” he says.

The competitor Cochrane is looking to beat this time around is Chinese swimmer Sun Yang, who stands six-foot-eight.

Last year, Yang set the world record for the 1,500-metre event at the World Aquatics Championships in China. He finished with a time of 14:32.14 charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Triple Crown-winning fulfills a boyhood dream A Canadian did win the Triple Crown but it wasn’t in horse racing.

For only the second time in the history of the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, all three top awards ALYN EDWARDS were awarded to one CLASSIC of the best historic RIDES automobiles in the world.

The judges at the ultra-prestigious Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in Italy chose the 1933 Alfa 6c 1750 GS Figoni-bodied coupe as the best out of the 60 historic cars invited. This event has been honouring the world’s finest classic cars since 1929.

On the first day of the event, the Alfa Figoni won the Coppa d’Ora as Best of Show by Public Referendum at Villa d’Este. The next day at Villa Erba, the judges picked the car as Best in Show by the Jury and a vote among public spectators also gave it two thumbs up.

On top of winning the three top awards, the Alfa also won its class.

The car is owned by West Vancouver’s David Cohen and his wife, Adele. It was restored by RX Autoworks in North Vancouver. The Triple Crown win signals that the Alfa Figoni is a pedigreed car with one of the best authentic high-point car restorations ever done and that RX Autoworks can be ranked among the world’s best restorers.

This was a fairy tale ending to a story

renowned Paris Auto Salon in October 1933.

Recognition for the amazing Alfa Figoni continued the next year with wins at the Monte Carlo Concours d’Elegance on April 5, 1934 followed with top honours at Nice one week later and Deauville in July.

Remarkably, the Figoni-designed body was replaced with a rudimentary lightweight open racing body for the 1935 LeMans race. The Alfa, powered by a double overhead cam six cylinder engine, took sixth place overall and won the 1501 to 2000 cc class.

With the original body reattached, the Alfa Romeo was photographed in

that began 50 years ago when David was a schoolboy in Johannesburg, South Africa. “I used to see the car as I rode to school,” Cohen recalls. “The car was driven every day on the streets.”

The car was created by Joseph Figoni – a Paris coachbuilder known for his swoopy French designs. To avoid crippling import taxes, Alfa Romeo would ship rolling chassis from its Italian factory to French coachbuilders like Figoni who would design, build and install custom bodies.

The beautiful design of this Alfa Figoni represents the first ‘teardrop’ shaped automobile. The rakish black and cream coupe badged Alfa Romeo Paris was introduced at the world-

1946, French police records show the car was sold without papers due to the war to an owner in Montpelier. Within two years, the Alfa Figoni had been acquired by South African George Elkin.

Mr. Elkin used the car when vacationing on the French Riviera as well as in South Africa where it left a lasting impression on 13-year-old

school boy David Cohen as it passed by on the streets of Johannesburg.

Waldie Greyvenstein, who owned a large private car collection in South Africa, acquired the Alfa and gave it a shoddy 1970s restoration in two shades of blue. David and the Alfa Figoni owner would meet years later and, in 1986, Greyvenstein was David’s co-driver in the 1986 Mille

Miglia Rally.

After Greyvenstein passed away, David was contacted by the estate as he had previously expressed great interest in acquiring the Alfa Figoni. In 2008, David bought the car sight unseen. The Alfa Figoni arrived in Vancouver in a dilapidated state and launched a threeyear restoration.

RX Autoworks was started by high school friends Ian Davey and Mike Taylor who made extra money repairing Mazda RX7 sports cars in a back alley garage. Over the years, the company moved to a large shop in North Vancouver and established a reputation for high-quality, award-winning restorations.

Volunteers Ruedi Aschwanden, Simon Moore and Richard Adatto spent hours researching and acquiring original photographs and information to guide the restoration. The dedication to returning the Alfa Figoni to its original condition meant every part of the car, including the wood body frame, had to be worked on to ensure each detail was authentic.

In deconstructing the car, the restorers found writing on top of one of the wooden door frames: “border de chaque cote de la feuillure” appears to be instructions to a panel beater meaning “wrap or bend around both sides of the groove.” This piece remains untouched and was put back in the Alfa Figoni during restoration.

Similarly, the seat backrest carried a message from a craftsman who wrote Alfa Romeo in large letters humorously followed by “et Juliet”. That was left intact and placed back in the car, as was a note found inside the seat that read “Jeudi matin” (Thursday morning) followed by instructions that are illegible.

“We decided to go back to original as much

Basil Cohen put together a book of photographs detailing the history of his father’s Alfa Figoni which was presented to the judges at Ville d’Este. It can be viewed at www.rxautoworks.com

Ian Davey, of RX Autoworks, describes the restoration as a “heartwarming experience.

“David would come in to see the restoration in progress and would be so happy,” he says. “It gave him so much joy to see the car being restored and it made me feel good.”

Though new to Silverstone, the captain’s log does reveal that Stewart has a previous track record.

“The only time that I’ve raced was on the Long Beach Grand Prix course in California which was in a Pro-Celebrity Toyota race and I really, really enjoyed it. But I’ve been in retirement for the last 10 years,” he grinned before explaining why he was now making a comeback.

The final frontier for Stewart will come in a special, star-studded Celebrity Challenge race being staged as one of the highlights of this summer’s Silverstone Classic (July 20 to 22), the world’s biggest classic motor racing festival.

Star Trek actor Sir Patrick Stewart is now ready to boldly go where no Starship Enterprise commander has gone before.

The 71-year-old movie legend, who played Captain Jean-Luc Picard in the iconic sci-fi series, has just passed his official ARDS racing driver test and is ready to compete in a special Celebrity Challenge race at this summer’s Silverstone Classic.

“I’m relieved and delighted,” said Stewart, who passed both written and driving tests required to obtain a MSA competition license at a rather damp Silverstone.

“It’s such a fast learning curve from the moment you first step into the car. At one point it was raining quite hard out there; I could hardly

Summer driving tips

BY KATE WELLS BC SENIOR DRIVERS / DRIVEWISE DRIVER TRAINING

School is out and family vacations are beginning! Unfortunately crashes are higher during the summer months. Here are some simple summer safe driving tips to keep everyone safe on the roads!

• Obey the posted speed limit. Many think this is a no-brainer, but in reality so many people still speed excessively on our roads.

Even going 10 kilometres over the speed limit can affect how you stop your vehicle in an emergency. SLOW DOWN. • Find out if your car has ABS brakes or not and how you should be stopping in an emergency. There are so many drivers who do not know the difference between ABS brakes and a standard braking system. Educate your self on proper braking techniques so you can stop

Here’s what the Volvo Club has to say about Greenway Auto.

Your Vancouver Island VCBC Director would like to take this opportunity to welcome Jason Greenway (formerly of Chapman Motors) and Greenway Automotive. Together with mechanics Kyle and Dan, Greenway Automotive will offer a complete line of service to both foreign and domestic cars. Jason brings a solid background in Volvo and BMW service, has a complete line of diagnostic and maintenance equipment and continues to be a strong supporter of VCBC. Jason is happy to be back as part of the community where the Greenway family has been for generations.

properly in an emergency.

• Watch out for kids. Be aware of areas where kids will play. Practice backing into your driveway. Many children are needlessly killed when cars are backing out of driveways. Scan parked cars to make sure kids are not going to jump out into traffic.

• Always obey road signs. It’s amazing to me how many signs go unnoticed. Road signs are there for a reason. Playground zones are in effect 7 days per week from Dawn to Dusk.

• Don’t Drive Distracted. This means using cell phones, texting, GPS and the list goes on. Distracted driving creates major driver errors.

• Don’t Drink and Drive. Always plan a safe ride home BEFORE you attend the summer family barbeque.

Take the time to be a safe driver and make sure you have an enjoyable summer.
