The University of Victoria is seeing a significant bump in student enrolment this year, especially in the faculty of engineering. The university has a 13 per cent increase in new full-time students for the fall semester, or about 520 people. About 4,500 students will experience the campus for the first time this September, out of more than 20,000 total in undergrad and graduate studies. “This is a banner year. There’s much bigger numbers this year,” said Wendy Joyce, director of UVic undergraduate admissions. “We are seeing a healthy trend.” Engineering programs have the biggest increase in new students, Joyce said, up 35 per cent. Those numbers should tip that faculty to more than 1,600 students. Joyce said staff haven’t yet analyzed underlying reasons for this year’s uptick in enrolment, but she noted that UVic aggressively markets itself across Canada and the world. Enrolment is also swayed by the job market and the health of the economy. UVic enrolment stats show the campus saw a burst of new students in 2009, but that flatlined over the past three years. Comparing fall 2011 and fall 2012, UVic saw virtually no net increase in students. “At different times we may get more of an influx out of province or more U.S. students depending on the politics happening in the States,” Joyce said. “The unemployment rate is also a factor when people decide when to attend school.” Any increase in the student body is generally welcome by businesses, landlords and restaurants in the city. UVic’s economic impact report released last year estimated that the campus’s 15,000 full-time students contribute about $177 million per year in direct spending in Greater Victoria. Camosun College’s Lansdowne and Interurban campuses are on track to see an influx of at least 11,440 students in September, which is on par from last year. The vast majority are from south Vancouver Island and other parts of B.C. “Camosun is very much a local community college,” noted Joan Yates, Camosun’s vice-president of community engagement. Like most post-secondary institutions in B.C., Camosun is marketing itself to international students, more than 800 for the upcoming semester. Camosun is also seeing a healthy contingent of aboriginal students, about 1,025 this year, a 6.5 per cent increase. The college has a goal to have aboriginal students make up at least 10 per cent of its student population. Royal Roads University has a different ebb and flow of students than UVic and Camosun, and is expecting about 2,500 full-time equivalent students through its blended online and on-campus graduate programs and on-campus undergrad programs. editor@saanichnews.com

A 36-year-old Victoria man is facing multiple charges after police say he threatened a group of people with a knife and later resisted arrest. The conclusion of the incident, caught on video and uploaded to Youtube, took place around 6 p.m. Saturday at the intersection of Douglas and Yates streets. The video shows a scuffle between VicPD officers and the suspect, but the limited footage doesn’t tell the whole story, said VicPD spokesman Bowen Osoko. “Around 4 p.m., officers responded to a call of a man with a weapon in the 900-block of Douglas St.,” Osoko said. “They observed a guy on surveillance video brandishing a knife towards a group of people.” When police caught up with the suspect two hours later, officers noticed a knife sticking out of his pocket and told him to throw the weapon on the ground. “He instead drew the knife, and that’s when a physical struggle ensued,” Osoko said, adding the initial confrontation wasn’t caught on
video. The Youtube video then shows officers attempting to tackle and unsuccessfully handcuff the man before he begins running away. Two police officers then taser the man as he appears to fall involuntarily to the ground. “The first taser strike was ineffective, you can actually hear it (on the video),” Osoko said. “(The suspect) starts walking towards the crowd … and so both officers have to deploy their tasers at the same time.” The man was transported to hospital for minor lacerations to his forehead – a result of the fall – and was then remanded into custody. A VicPD officer was also treated for minor cuts and scrapes, Osoko said. The suspect faces charges of assault with a weapon, assault with intention to resist arrest and possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose. The Independent Investigations Office of B.C., which oversees policerelated incidents involving serious harm or death, was notified and has decided not to pursue an investigation at this time, Osoko said. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Despite protests, region’s sewage plan marches on CRD directors vote down motion to delay multi-million-dollar sewage project Daniel Palmer News staff
Capital Regional District directors once again shut down a motion by naysayers last week to pull the reins on the region’s secondary sewage treatment project. Saanich Coun. Vic Derman put forward a motion for an independent review of the plan and parallel public input process to solicit alternative ideas, both in an effort to appease many residents who feel their concerns have not been heard. The motion was defeated last Wednesday by directors 10-4. Two disparate perspectives seem to be solidifying among local politicians. A majority of directors are publicly commit-
ted to the current plan because of a strict federally mandated compliance deadline of 2020 and the fear of losing federal and provincial funding, or two-thirds of the project’s $783-million price tag. On the other side, a minority of directors that include Derman, View Royal Mayor Graham Hill, Colwood Mayor Carol Hamilton and Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins believe public confidence in the project continues to erode due to poor consultation. “There is huge concern in the general public in terms of trust, confidence and confusion as to what the heck is going on,” Desjardins said. “And we’re not doing ourselves any service down at CRD by not taking a pause, making sure we’ve answered those questions, and getting communities to come onside. You do that by understanding and by listening to them.” The CRD is well into its request for proposals process for a wastewater treatment plant at McLoughlin Point, sched-

uled for completion by 2016. Esquimalt has made that process more difficult by tweaking zoning approval to encourage commercial, residential and amenity development on the site in conjunction with the CRD project. In a statement released last week, CRD chair Alastair Bryson said alternative sewage treatment options have already been considered and deemed to be too costly, and an appointed seven-person commission of unelected officials is already well underway in planning the current project. “Pursuit of a new or parallel process could undermine the independence and work of the commission and significantly delay the entire project,” Bryson said. Desjardins warned public discontent isn’t going to disappear any time soon. “Many members of the public are trying to provide alternatives and questions that would provide better options and they’re being shut down, and that is not acceptable,” she said. dpalmer@vicnews.com
There is a common misconception that wearing corrective lenses weakens the eye and helps speed the deterioration of eyesight. There is absolutely no scientific basic for this. Studies have shown no difference in the course of a person’s eyesight with or without glasses. Sometimes it may seem as if the glasses make eyesight weaker. Uncorrected vision may appear worse than it did before glasses. This is because vision seems much less clear without glasses after enjoying the clear vision that they provide. We should not blame glasses for making vision worse as we age. Almost everyone develops the need for reading correction between the age of 39 and 45.

OUR VIEW
Lessons of a lagging economy T
his month students from across the province and the country, and an increasing number from out of country, will flood into Greater Victoria for their postsecondary education. All told, on the order of 35,000 full- and parttime students will be attending post-secondary classes at the University of Victoria, Camosun College or Royal Roads University, which is a few thousand more people than the population of Langford, or nearly 10 per cent of the region’s population. As much as Victoria is a government town and a military headquarters, it is an education town too, with plenty of high-paying instructor and professor jobs, and support staff to make the educational industry tick. After a few years of flat growth, UVic is seeing an upswing in new student numbers, about 500 more than last year. Camosun College’s student numbers, by contrast, are falling, but overall there is a net growth in post-secondary students. Any increase is generally good for Greater Victoria’s economy – students spend on tuition, housing, food and entertainment. UVic’s 2012 economic impact analysis of 15,000 full-time students pegs direct spending at $177 million annually. A Camosun College economic impact study estimated that students that come from outside Greater Victoria collectively spend at least $7 million per year in the region. The reason why UVic is seeing an increase in student numbers is complex – admissions criteria and marketing can play a role, but the economy tends to be the prime mover – people go to school when times are tough and hopefully finish school during an upswing in the economy. But since the 2008-09 recession, governments and many companies have remained in a cycle of cutting spending and reducing jobs, either through attrition or direct layoffs. Despite a highly advertized jobs plan, B.C. is creating few jobs, especially for new university graduates trying to launch a career. More students in post-seconary is generally good for society, but hopefully it’s also not another sign of a sputtering B.C. economy.

protesting Ottawa’s plan to claw back $300 million in federal training money to provinces, for its new employer-driven Canada Jobs Grant. Clark and New Brunswick Premier David Alward were assigned to find an alternative to this drastic shift and report back in the fall. As usual, the NDP spent lots of time grilling Virk about student debt and the alleged need to reduce it. Ministry statistics show that about 30 per cent of students take out loans from the federal-provincial program, and the average is $20,000. One of the latest changes is a program of grants that go toward student debt as a reward for those who complete their chosen program. With 23,000 students collecting $41 million in grants, it might be working. For all the fuss about student debt, students pay only about a third of costs. The rest is on taxpayers, whether it produces any useful education or not. Virk is under instructions to review the student loan program “to find further improvements to meet students’ needs.” Given the magnitude of the gap between what skills our education system produces and what the economy needs, a larger shift in priorities is needed.

Many mysteries remain unanswered Haven’t you ever wondered? Are we alone in the universe? What lies beyond the edge of it? Will we ever travel at the speed of light? Will the discovery of the Higgs Boson explain the origins of life? What makes people intelligent? And why, despite generations of marine science, words of wisdom from our greenest politicians, hundreds of speeches and letters and a huge public outcry, does the Capital Regional District waste water committee still refuse to examine the best available options for sewage treatment? So many mysteries remain unanswered. Lingxia Li Saanich
Home ownership long time coming Re: Home ownership elusive for many in Capital Region (News, Aug. 14) Although I have always lived within my means, it took me more than 20 years to save a down payment large enough to get into the Victoria real estate market. After four years of condo shopping, my partner and I finally found one that we could afford and purchased it one year ago. I was 46 and so relieved to end the money-down-the-drain cycle of renting. Even though we have a mortgage, I don’t worry about it. The mortgage, property tax and strata fees are no more than what we used to pay for rent. And now I can grow old knowing that I probably won’t be on the street when I hit 70. Wendy Wall Saanich
Economy doesn’t offer real capitalism Letter-writer E.W. Bopp obseves that socialism has failed and has been replaced by more free enterprise and less government. Who could argue since terms like “free enterprise” and “the free market” are so vague and ideologically loaded that they are useless for objective or scientific purposes? If by free enterprise one is referring to a capitalist economy in which a great many firms in virtually all sectors are subject to regulation by an impersonal, largely selfregulating competitive market with the state playing only a minor, bolstering role then those of us who are rational must concede that this form of free enterprise or real capitalism perished sometime prior to The Great Depression and thus prior to the collapse of the Soviet Union. Government had to play a major role in economic life
LETTERS both in the former Soviet Union and the West. Massive government intervention remains a fact of life in the post-Cold War era. I do not consider our present economy, which is dominated by oligopolistic transnational corporations and financial institutions in collusion with one another and with government to be evidence of the presence of real capitalism or of free enterprise. Finally, I do not think Bopp has any clearer idea as to what socialism is. Socialists have always opposed some forms of government intervention and rational anti-socialists do not oppose all forms of government intervention. This being the case, it is impossible to know what Bopp thinks socialism is. Suggest Mr. Bopp needs to rethink at least as much as the NDP. John R. Bell Victoria

94 per cent of the market. To make matters even worse, Big Telecom is trying to block our access to affordable mobile services by gobbling up scarce wireless spectrum assets. Canadians are standing up to Big Telecom, and telling Industry Minister James Moore we expect him to create sensible rules that favor choice and innovation. We need to ensure that independent providers have the resources they need to offer the choice and lower prices Canadians deserve. Tens of thousands of Canadians have told the federal government to stop Big Telecom from killing affordability in Canada’s mobile Internet and cellphone market at demandchoice.ca. Big Telecom executives have a sense of entitlement that is bad for our digital economy and our country.

doing this to myself?” Remember you are not stuck in traffic – you are traffic. Know that there is a better way. If you are commuting into Victoria, just look left (or right when going home) onto the Galloping Goose and see a wildly different commuting experience. I’ll wave at you from my bicycle, with a big smile on my face. Yes we cyclists smile while commuting – revolutionary! We have no concept of traffic jams. We sail along gleefully uninhibited. We’ll probably beat you to your destination during rush hour, even riding at a leisurely pace. Not only that, we’ll do it way cheaper, we’ll get a great workout, we’ll have more fun and we’ll arrive in a way better mood. It really is better over here. Come and join us - we honestly want you to. Everyone will be better off. Before you know it you will understand that riding to work, even in winter, just involves a mindset change. You’ll look over and wonder how you ever did that to yourself. As Darth Vader famously said: “It’s your Destiny.” Tony Webster Victoria

Steve Simon to give talk on producing best work
International award-winning photographer and author Steve Simon is the focus of a two-hour talk in Victoria next week. Victoria Camera Club and Kerrisdale Cameras are hosting An Evening with Steve Simon – The Traveling Photographer: Making Your Best Work. The Aug. 27 event runs from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. at Norway House, 1110 Hillside Ave. In his best-selling and critically acclaimed book, The Passionate Photographer: 10 Steps Toward Becoming Great, Simon said finding a photo story or theme a photographer feels passionate about
will help him to the next level in their photography. Simon provides an overview of his working philosophy and deconstructs the elements that make good photographers great. “We are excited to bring this event to Victoria and to offer this unique opportunity from a Canadian-born photographer and author of international renown,” said Lois Burton, Victoria Camera Club president. “Steve’s presentation combines humour and poignancy and this lively and informative presentation is guaranteed to inspire photo enthusiasts of all levels to take their photography to a new level.” Register online at: victoriacameraclub.org/SteveSimon.

Before 2009, the couple were able to ride out the slow winter months with strong Halloween sales, but a consumer shift to online sales and popup Halloween shops began chipping away at their bottom line. “Locals don’t seem to come downtown as much anymore, with the big stores in Langford and UpTown – not that those are

oung playwright Corin Wrigley is behind one of the most homegrown plays at this year’s Victoria Fringe Theatre Festival. Just 17 and already a Fringe veteran, Wrigley is bringing the misunderstood story of baseball superstar Ty Cobb to life in Something Like a War, debuting Thursday (Aug. 22) at The Metro Studio Theatre at 9:45 p.m. How Wrigley became enamoured with Cobb’s story started with an assuming batting stance. Most batters in baseball hold the bat with their hands together, which is taught to youths. Wrigley didn’t conform and was associating himself with Cobb at just six years old. “My dad said that’s how Ty Cobb did it and I thought of myself as Cobb without knowing who he was.” Wrigley continued to play baseball until 2012, growing from a casual fan to a baseball nut. It happened to correspond with the Tigers, Cobb’s old team, reaching the 2006 and 2012 World Series. For a 17-year-old recreating a personality from 100 years ago (Cobb’s greatest fame was as a Tiger from 1905 to 1926), the research is impressive. Wrigley has read four biographies and consumed many videos and stories of the legend. He also managed to secure a 30-minute conversation with Cobb’s grandson Herschel Cobb, who shared a close relationship with his grandfather Ty until he died in 1961. “It led to some changes in the play, particularly to the end of the play,” Wrigley said. “When (Herschel) offered to talk to me himself,

I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. I’d read his book about Ty but talking to him really helped me … I was getting a closer perspective than I ever could have hoped.” Wrigley, a homeschool grad, isn’t in a rush to enter the University of Victoria’s theatre program, but he is considering it, if not another acting school.

Rotary raffle raises thousands for charity Cristina Martinez wins 2013 Nissan in lottery
When Cristina Martinez purchased three tickets for the Rotary Club of Victoria’s annual car raffle she just thought it was a good use of the $10 in her pocket. Martinez had heard of the club’s good work in the community and was happy to support it – she never imagined that $10 and one of her three tickets would award her donation with a new car. “It is the first time I won such a big prize,” said
Martinez. “Never in a million years did I think I was going to win the car.” Martinez was awarded a 2013 Nissan Rogue thanks to her lucky purchase from Thrifty’s Fairfield. Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen was the one to surprise Martinez with the call. She then enjoyed a celebratory drink with the members of the Rotary Club on Aug. 11. But Martinez wasn’t the only winner.

proceeds from the Rotary Car Raffle go to community programs and local charities, and recent donations include $80,000 to Cool-Aid Community Centre and $76,000 to Mustard Seed. The Rotary Club of Victoria is assisted by Oak Bay Rotarians, who volunteer their time to sell the raffle tickets. “The very generous support of the Rotary Club of Victoria has made it possible to make upgrades to the Downtown Community Centre that we have needed for many years,” said Kathy Stinson, Cool Aid’s executive director. “We have been seeking funds for these capital improvements for several years, but it was only when Rotarians generously stepped up that we were able to proceed. I cannot thank them enough.” Two additional prizes were added this year to the raffle to celebrate the club’s 100-year anniversary, which had more community members seeing more than they bargained for with their tickets. Eileen Bedingfield won a cruise to Alaska for two, donated by Princess Cruises, and Trish Hajash won an Apple iPad donated by Long View Systems. “We want to congratulate Ms. Martinez on her win, and sincerely thank her for her support,” says Murray Ramsbottom, president of Rotary Club of Victoria. “We also wish to thank each and every person who purchased a raffle ticket and the Rotarians who donated their time to support this event. It is through the remarkable kindness of the public, members of the Rotary Club and volunteers that we are able to provide ongoing support to our local community.” editor@vicnews.com

Phil Mack scored a try in the opening minute as Canada went on to win the first of a two-game Rugby World Cup qualifying series with the U.S.A. by a score of 27-9 in Charleston, S.C. on Saturday. It gives the Canadians an 18-point lead in the aggregate scoring of the qualifier series going into the next game, Saturday (Aug. 24) at BMO Field in Toronto. “The team is happy to have the 18-point advantage on home soil and we are preparing as if it is another game,” Mack said. Mack made a chip-kick behind the U.S.A. defence and rushed onto it at the try line to put Canada up 5-0 off the hop. While his teammates congrat-

The Langley Thunder took a 4-1 lead in Game 2 but the Victoria Shamrocks stormed back with an 9-2 goal-scoring run to win 10-6 at Bear Mountain Arena on Friday night. Game 3 of the Western Lacrosse Association best-ofseven final is tonight (Aug. 21) in Langley. The series s now tied 1-1.
ulated him, Mack wore a serious look and hurried back to midfield. “I think it was a bit early in the game to celebrate. We try and have the mindset of ‘the next job,’ (whether or not it was) a good or bad play. Looking back on it now, it’s a play that I will always remember, but if you really examine the play there were a lot of players that contributed to it as well.” Mack, an Oak Bay High graduate and Canadian international rugby sevens specialist, started the game at scrum half and was instrumental throughout, earning the coveted pro-wrestling belt as Canada’s Man of the Match. Also scoring tries for Canada were dangerous winger DTH van der Merwe, a former teammate of Mack on the James Bay Ath-
letic Association who now plays pro for the Glasgow Warriors, and Capilano’s Harry Jones, who started at fly half. Fullback James Pritchard kicked 12 points. All nine of U.S.A.’s points came on penalty kicks by Chris Wyles. A win, or loss by less than 18 points, on Saturday will clinch a spot for Canada at the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England. The squad features a long list of players who’ve played locally, including former UVic Vikes forwards Andrew Tiedemann, Ryan Hamilton and John Moonlight, and former James Bay player Aaron Carpenter, the current captain, as well as James Bay’s Sean White. Saturday’s game in Toronto will be aired live on TSN2 at 1 p.m. and replayed at 8 p.m. sports@vicnews.com
Saturday started with Thunder goalie Brodie McDonald looking strong but he was eventually pulled. Rocks goalie Matt Vinc ended up outplaying him, allowing a stingy six goals, just two in the third period. Scoring was no easy feat. Unheralded Shamrocks defender Scott Carnegie was the only player to score multiple goals with two, one of them shorthanded in the second period. Jeff Shattler scored a goal and added three assists.
