Popular pub opening in Langford Darcy’s looks to duplicate its downtown success on West Shore Charla Huber News staff
Darcy’s Pub is taking over the Station House Pub space on Goldstream Avenue, with plans to open its second location in April. “We’ve been looking for loca-
tions to expand,” said W. Dale Mallock, Darcy’s co-owner. Mallock said they were looking to the West Shore to branch out and are thrilled to be moving into the Station House site. The new Darcy’s will employ about 45 people, 27 more than the Station House. “I am happy to say most of my staff have been rehired,” said Bill Beadle, owner and operator of Station House Pub for the past 13 years. He will still run the Svelte
Lounge and remains the landlord of the building. “(Darcy’s) will be a slightly different venue with a few more improvements in the pub,” Beadle said. “They’ll be giving it a Darcy’s look.” The building will go through up to three weeks of renovations and will have a similar look to the namesake pub in Bastion Square in Victoria.

The plan is to build a new stage to host live music, to provide numerous TV sports options and offer full kitchen service, Mallock said. While Darcy’s Pub downtown has
live entertainment every night, the new location will have live music three nights a week to start, he said “I know a lot people from the West Shore come to Victoria to come to Darcy’s,” Mallock said. “We are hoping people will go see the Shamrocks, Grizzlies
or go to Western Speedway and then stop here for a pint or a dance.” The Station House will close later this month, a day before the pub changes hands. The new owners will host a “soft opening” after the renos are completed. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Kyle Wells News staff
The family of murdered teen Kimberly Proctor is seeking signatures on a petition asking for changes to the way justice is handed down in Canada to young offenders convicted of serious crimes. Kimberly’s Law, developed by the family with the help of Victoria lawyer Troy DeSouza, is being lobbied to provincial governments as well as the federal government. “We need to prevent crimes like this from happening, provide services for our troubled youth and impose proper sentencing for extreme crimes committed by young offenders,” wrote Jo-Anne Landolt, Kimberly Proctor’s aunt, in a letter to media. The family is appealing to all provincial governments and the feds to make changes. The petitions request the following: Provincial • Mandatory counselling and treatment for youth assessed as potential threats • Hold parents civilly liable for the actions of their children, to a maximum fine of $25,000 Federal • Automatic adult court proceedings for youth aged 16 or older accused of first- or second-degree murder • Removal of publication bans upon guilty plea • Sentence those convicted as adults, using adult parole criteria • Keep youth charged with murder separate from other young people in correctional facilities. NDP Juan de Fuca MLA John Horgan and Liberal MLA Jane Thornthwaite will present the petition in a non-partisan way to the B.C. legislature May 14. “It’s about making sure a horrific event in our community does not go by without efforts by all of us to change our community so this doesn’t

Killer’s prison move provokes outrage from victim’s family
The transfer of convicted killer Cameron Moffat from a maximum to a medium security prison has disturbed family members of his victim, Langford teen Kimberly Proctor. Moffat, one of two teenagers convicted of first-degree murder in the 2010 killing, was recently moved from Kent Institution in Agassiz to Mountain Institution next door. “As you can imagine, we are shocked and outraged by this news,” said Jo-Anne Landolt, Kimberly’s aunt, in a letter to media. She expressed confusion how a “convicted rapist, sadist, mutilator, sociopath murderer with extreme antisocial behaviour, who committed such an extremely brutal, premeditated murder” could move through the system so quickly, especially having shown no remorse. “(This) is very scary, not only for my family, but the general public, as there is always a possibility of him being released after his minimum time served.”
the first step in a dialogue with government. We want to demonstrate to the legislature and the people of B.C. that a whole bunch of folks think this is an important issue. I’m confident we’ll be able to do it.” To view the petition visit kimberlyslaw.com. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com
On March 18, 2010 Moffat and friend Kruse Wellwood lured Proctor to Wellwood’s family home where they raped, tortured and murdered the 18-year-old girl. They dumped her mutilated body in a duffel bag near the Galloping Goose Trail. Both men will be eligible for parole around 2020, after 10 years in prison. A Corrections Canada media spokesperson said the agency could not discuss individual inmates due to privacy laws. Corrections Canada rules define a medium security prison as suitable for inmates who present a “low to moderate probability of escape and a moderate risk to the safety of the public in the event of an escape.” Such inmates are described as requiring a “moderate degree of supervision and control within the penitentiary.” These classifications are judged on the seriousness of an inmate’s crime, their behaviour while in prison, “the inmate’s potential for violent behaviour” and other criteria. Wellwood remains at Kent Institution. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com
Diabetes and your sight
Most people know that diabetes is a disease that affects the blood sugar levels in the body. The symptoms of diabetes include unusual thirst, fatigue and hunger, and increased need to urinate. Those with the acute, Type 1, form of diabetes will need and seek treatment because their symptoms are severe. Many people with the less acute, Type 2, form of the disease can try to ignore their symptoms and they live with chronically elevated blood sugar levels. This damages many tissues in the body including the blood vessels. Optometrists are often the first to detect diabetes because its onset can cause a relatively sudden change in vision. This change can be reversed when the blood sugar level is controlled. Poorly controlled diabetes can have very serious effects on the eyes. Blood vessels can leak in the retina at the back of the eye and small blood vessels can grow where they should not. This is called diabetic retinopathy, and if untreated can lead to blindness. Retinal specialists often use lasers to control the spread of the retinopathy. If you are overweight, over forty, have a family history of diabetes, or are experiencing symptoms, you should ask your family physician about the possibility of diabetes. If diabetes is diagnosed, your family physician will want you to have regular eye exams as part of the monitoring of the disease. Sometimes a team of professionals will work to help you develop a healthy lifestyle with suitable nutrition and exercise. In some cases medication can be avoided by a change in diet. Your Optometrist can be an important member of your team.

Royal Bay overview unveiled Open house short on specifics, but 2,800-unit maximum still expected Kyle Wells News staff
The company behind the development of Royal Bay’s waterfront is staying tight lipped on specific plans for the vast piece of cleared land, but has given the public a first look at its general vision. Dozens of Colwood residents attended an open house last Thursday to take a peek at some initial plans for the 419 acres, which extend back from the waterfront and across Latoria Road. At the open house, displays spoke of building a complete community with a public waterfront, which will restore the site to a “functional ecology” and offer up to 2,300 homes. While no one representing developer B.C. Investment Management Corporation or GWL Realty Advisors, the development manager, was permitted to speak to the Gazette about the project, residents had a variety of concerns and reactions. “I just want to see what they’re planning there and how dense it’s going to be, and if they’re leaving any green space,” said Pat Warlow of Metchosin, who drives through the area daily. “This is very impressive,” said Joan Hoffman, a Royal Bay area resident of 30 years. “(I hope it’s) for all ages, so there’s something for everybody, so people feel comfortable. This will be their community, this is where they’ll shop, this is where their children will go to school. They’re making sure they take the time to do it properly. This is first class.” Royal Bay resident Brian Case wanted to see a little more specific information about the developers plans. His primary concern is trying to pack too many people into the area and ruining any sort of neighbourhood feel. “What I hope to see is a really wellorganized urban
development,” he said. “My biggest concern would be high-density. The other developments that are in the area are a higher density than I would like to see.” B.C. Investment submitted an application for an Official Community Plan amendment to Colwood on Friday, despite the absence of a proposed master plan. Colwood’s director of planning, Alan Haldenby, said the city has been working with GWL quite closely over the last year and is now also working directly with the
project developer. “Their intent is to get the OCP area plan out of the way first and then pursue, maybe next year, the rezoning aspect of it,” Haldenby said. He couldn’t get into specifics of the plan because it is still in development. What he did offer was that the developer’s target for density does not differ much from the current local area plan, established by former owner Lehigh Hanson 15 years ago, before the gravel company sold the land in 2012. The OCP currently allows for 2,800 units
for 7,000 residents, although Haldenby said the type of housing will now likely be more geared toward detached single family dwellings, as opposed to attached residential or apartments. “From what they’ve told us, they’re not proposing to alter that any great deal,” he said. Colwood would not be against an increase in density, Haldenby said, even though the developer does not at this time appear to be heading in that direction. “Certainly locations are likely to change as far as green space
connections. They seem to be proposing something a little bit different,” he said. “Until they give us their final master plan, we don’t have much to work with.” A draft area plan update will be presented at the next open house on Thursday, March 20. A third open house April 3 will reveal the final plan which will be presented to Colwood council for bylaw adoption. kwells@goldstream gazette.com

Ferry service not dead, yet
B.C. Ferries is digging its own grave with a shovel handed to it by the provincial government. With nearly $19 million in service reductions about to take place, not only residents will be left to mourn – the corporation is being buried in a coffin called tourism. Right on the front page of hellobc.com – B.C.s official tourism site – are three featured places to go, two of them on Vancouver Island. A visit to the site’s transportation page lauds the fringe benefits of ferry travel: “a deckside view of breathtaking scenery not accessible by land and a high probability of spotting marine wildlife.” Great, if you can get on board and in a timely fashion. With reductions on dozens of routes, the elimination of some 7,000 round trips a year, the cut to the seniors’ discount, and with $4.9 million more in cuts to come, your chances of getting where you want to go are beginning to look dicey, if not pricey. The tourism site touts the Inside Passage route as a cruise through spectacular scenery. But at a cost of some $1,200 for a family of four, that one-day trip really takes a bite out of the typical family’s overall vacation budget. Tourism is a major industry in British Columbia, surpassing some of our more traditional revenue sources, and if the provincial government takes it seriously, it will want to take a closer look at how it is planning to not only attract visitors, but move them around the province. Cutting the already overpriced service is bad economics. It affects commuters, distribution of goods and services and makes it more difficult for visitors to take advantage of areas outside the Lower Mainland. Christy Clark puts a big emphasis on her BC Jobs Plan with tourism at the forefront, but cuts and rate hikes on B.C. Ferries can only cause job loss province-wide. The provincial government is responsible for both transportation and tourism – top priorities for all of us – but the government has an absence of vision for the management of B.C. Ferries, unless that vision is to stand by and watch as the ship is sinking.
Province needs a clear vision for B.C. Ferries

punished for alleged negligence. The scandal pushed in this tragic story is that some evidence was not protected by WorkSafeBC and wouldn’t have been admissible in court. Prosecutors also said they had enough evidence for charges, but the companies or executives would be able to show “due diligence” to likely gain acquittal. What that means in English is that the explosion risk of extradry dust and air wasn’t fully grasped by either mill operators or WorkSafeBC. All B.C. mills are now subject to more scrutiny, and a coroner’s inquest will be calling witnesses this fall to see what lessons can be learned. Back to pipelines through parks. This may seem like a scandal to urban B.C. residents who already fret about the possibility of the 60-year-old Trans Mountain pipeline, or one of several proposed gas pipelines, intruding on a park. It’s not as well known that Trans Mountain completed a major twinning and upgrading project on the Alberta side in 2008. It crosses Mount Robson Provincial Park and Jasper National Park, without incident or scandal to date. But back to muffingate, as it’s become known around here. I don’t know why people are so cynical and uninterested in serious issues. I wish I was.

LETTERS Reader questions paycheque comment Re: NDP’s Farnworth looking for a raise in pay (Letters, March 7) Is it out of ignorance or animosity that Joe Sawchuk says Mike Farnworth just wants to be NDP leader for the bigger paycheque? I suppose he would feel the same way about anyone who throws their hat into the ring for the top job. Did he say the same about any of the Liberal MLAs who ran to replace Gordon Campbell in 2011? With Adrian Dix’s resignation, the NDP need someone to fill the post and lead them through the 2017 election. I’d like to know what the stats in other legislatures have to do with ours. Perhaps during the next national election, we could hear from Mr. Sawchuk how Justin Trudeau and Thomas Mulcair and anyone else after
Stephan Harper’s job are really just after the paycheque. Andre Mollon Langford
Traffic control efforts have many downfalls How much money spent making the Beautiful Downtown Langford mess could have been used to improve traffic safety elsewhere, such as on east Goldstream Avenue? The traffic circle is not appropriate, as it is too small and vehicles entering from side streets are impeded by those already in the circle. The traffic circle creates a dangerous situation, as some people do not push the button – if they do, it is difficult to see that the lights came on. Langford politicians have let development go to their head, while neglecting policing of careless, unskilled and deliberately dangerous drivers.
Colwood, too, has been wasting money on do-gooder projects such as solar energy, while neglecting policing. Colwood is too small, financially, especially after voters got what they wanted – no gravel pit. It should merge with View Royal. Sounds to me like it is time for voters to elect more realistic people. Keith Sketchley Saanich

Local MLAs may yet join B.C. NDP leadership race Horgan, Fleming considering their candidacy Kyle Wells News staff
Now that Mike Farnworth has thrown his hat into the ring as a candidate for the B.C. NDP leadership, two local MLAs are mulling over their options. John Horgan (Juan de Fuca) is rethinking his earlier decision to pass on running for the top job come September when the party holds its leadership convention. “I really felt in the fall that I didn’t want to be an obstacle to renewal,” he said. “I got out of the way, and as I did so I expected more people to step up, and that hasn’t happened. So people are now coming back to me.” Horgan said he’s discussing it with his family and others and will make a decision in the next couple of weeks. He wants to see the party move forward with new ideas and new confidence. “We need to have leadership and a set of principles that don’t scare people, but excite them.”

Reaching back for baroque
Boston Early Music Festival brings back 1600s Don Descoteau News staff
A couple of points stand out when considering the impact and significance of this weekend’s baroque opera performances in Victoria by the renowned Boston Early Music Festival. Not only is it the first time in recent memory that the city has staged an opera based on 17th-century music and dance, Victoria is one of just two places the Boston group will perform French composer Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s La Descente d’Orphée aux Enfers (The Descent of Orpheus into Hell) and La Couronne de Fleurs (The Crown of Flowers) on its current mini-tour. The other? New York City. “This is a huge event for us,” says James Young, artistic director of the Early Music Society of the Islands, which is co-producing the two-night event along with Pacific Opera Victoria. “This is the kind of event you will normally only see in a much larger centre like Boston or New York.” While listening to and watching baroque opera performed by musicians and performers from one of the world’s leading early music ensembles will be a treat, what else might audience members notice? “There’s never been anything staged and performed here in the style of the (1600s), which is what the Boston Early Music Festival specializes in,” Young says. Not only is dance more

The Boston Early Music Festival brings a 17th-century music and dance exclusive to Victoria when the ensemble hits the McPherson Playhouse Friday and Saturday (March 14-15). prevalent in 17th-century French opera, the combination of voice and movement is a “very much more stylized and formal kind of performance, he says. “It’s an adjustment to see it, but I think when it’s done properly it can really engage an audience.” People will also notice a difference when they look into the orchestra pit, Young adds. Besides such period instruments as baroque guitar, violin, recorder, oboe and harpsichord, the ensemble includes a theorbo, a multi-headed, 14-stringed, lute-style instrument which produces soft mellow sounds not unlike a harp; and a viola da gamba or viol, which is larger and deeper sounding than a violin and can be plucked or bowed. Bringing in an ensemble of the stature of the Boston Early Music Festival presents a financial risk for the local baroque group, one it could not have taken on its own without the help of a company
such as Pacific Opera Victoria, Young says. He has other ideas brewing for concerts involving guest performers and as such, the success of this weekend’s shows will go a long way toward planning future special events. “Pacific Opera Victoria is interested in doing another coproduction,” he says, noting that such a partnership makes sense. “If you look at baroque music, the highlight of it is opera.” The concerts happen at 8 p.m. Friday (March 14) and Saturday at the McPherson Playhouse. Pre-performance lectures by Boston Early Music Festival musical directors Paul O’Dette and Stephen Stubbs precede both nights’ shows, starting at 7 p.m. in the theatre’s upstairs lobby. Tickets are available in advance at rmts.bc.ca, at the theatre box office at 1 Centennial Sq., or at earlymusicsocietyoftheislands.ca. ddescoteau@vicnews.com

Donations help hospital heal preemies Money raised by the Victoria General Hospital Auxiliary has been put to use in buying important equipment for the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit. Using $87,000 raised by the auxiliary, the hospital bought a cardiac ultrasound monitor and a blanket warmer. “The cardiac ultrasound monitor helps put Victoria General Hospital in the forefront for this technology,” said Dr. Brian Sinclair, medical director for child, youth and family health. “We are so thankful to
the auxiliary. It is extraordinary that a dedicated team of volunteers has funded this equipment.” The Poinsettias 4 Patients campaign raised the $7,000 for the warmer, which heats receiving blankets that help maintain a newborn’s temperature, a critical component of care for premature babies. The upgrades helped new mother Tiffany King care for her daughter, Madison, who was born at 32 weeks weighing just two and a half pounds.
“With my baby being so small, I did worry about her being cold,” King said in a press release. “The warm blankets were so comforting. It was some of the most beautiful time we had together, when her skin was next to mine.” Madison is now home with her family after spending four weeks in the unit. The Victoria General Hospital Auxiliary raises more than $200,000 annually for various needs at the hospital. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Spencer girls grab v-ball crown Grade 8 team rolls through city league playoff tournament undefeated RecRuitment FaiR The Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort & Spa, Victoria is holding its on-site recruitment fair Saturday, March, 15th• 10am - 3pm Clubhouse Building, Ballroom 1999 Country Club Way, Victoria 250-391-7160 If you are interested in learning more about employment at Bear Mountain, bring your resume to the resort and meet representatives from all departments who will be hiring for the upcoming season. The following departments will be in attendance:
Front Desk, Housekeeping, Food & Beverage, Golf Operations and Greens Maintenance. For further details see www.bearmountain.ca
It took two weeks to complete, but at the end of the city Grade 8 girls volleyball tournament, Spencer emerged on top. The champs downed Central middle school 25-20, 25-16 in the final last week at Gordon Head middle school to cap a perfect tournament and put the finishing touches on an 18-2 season. “We’re really proud of this group of girls,” said assistant coach Dean Purdy. “We’ve been building this team for two years and they all contributed to the success of the team this year.”
Helping the team’s skills was the fact six Spencer girls also play club volleyball outside school, coached by Mike Toakley from Belmont secondary. While they won’t suit up for Belmont in junior girls division play next season, Spencer players will face tough competition playing Grade 9 and 10 junior teams from the Greater Victoria School District in city league play. Purdy, who helps out head coach Brenda Cyr, believed it was the first city volleyball championship won by a Spen-
cer girls team in Grade 8. The team hoisted the large trophy on the Wednesday and brought it to school the following day, where the girls were celebrated and congratulated for their efforts. Spencer and Central won their respective preliminary pools to receive automatic entry into the semifinals. Spencer downed Arbutus middle school 2-0 in the semis to move through to the final. ddescoteau@vicnews.com

GOLDSTREAM NEWS NEWS GAZETTE GAZETTE --Wednesday, Wednesday,March March12, 12,2014 2014 GOLDSTREAM
Carbon offsets going back to hospitals and colleges Tom Fletcher Black Press
The province is continuing to remake its unpopular “carbon neutral government” program, expanding a fund to return carbon offset payments to hospitals and post-secondary institutions for energy saving projects. The new capital fund is an expansion of the “carbon neutral capital program” that was set up for B.C.’s 60 school districts in 2012. The fund is financed via a 2010 law that forces all public sector entities to pay $25 per tonne for greenhouse gas emissions from their operations. Environment Minister Mary Polak announced Tuesday that carbon offsets from health authorities, colleges and universities will be added to the school capital fund, which districts apply to with energy saving ideas such as insulation or boiler replacement. The carbon neutral government plan was controversial from the start, as school and health
districts had to divert millions from their budgets to offset their heating, lighting and transportation emissions. Its popularity didn't improve when the first big carbon offsets chosen by the Pacific Carbon Trust included a gas well flare reduction program for Encana Corp. in northern B.C. Then B.C.'s Auditor General reported that the flaring project and a forest preserve in the Kootenays were not valid carbon offsets, because both were underway before carbon offset money was offered to help them. The Pacific Carbon Trust was wound up last year, with offsets chosen by a small group in the environment ministry. The education ministry also announced Tuesday its latest energy saving project funded in 28 school districts. They include boiler replacements, heat pumps and electric cars. School bus emissions have been exempted from the carbon neutral government program since the beginning. tfletcher@blackpress.ca
