Mohammed Shariff Abdi died when the Yellow Taxi he was driving slammed into a pole near the corner of Gorge Street East and Garbally Road around 2:30 a.m. last Friday. Victoria Police say there is no indication that the vehicle braked or slowed in the moments before the crash.

Three other men, all believed to be in their 20s, are in hospital following the single vehicle collision.

When VicPD officers arrived at the scene, they discovered the driver dead and the three passengers in the taxi injured. Two of the injured men are in hospital with lifethreatening injuries, while the third is in hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The intersection was closed for several hours as the VicPD CRASH team conducted their on-scene investigation. Investigators are currently determining whether speed and impairment were factors in the collision.

Just before 7:30 a.m. Monday morning someone walking along the beach in the 1400-block of Dallas Road discovered the body of a deceased person. Police blocked the walkway while B.C. Coroner Service removed the body and police combed the area for clues. VicPD Communications Coordinator Bowen Osoko said no details would be released pending identification and notification of the next of kin.

Esquimalt business on the upswing Laura Lavin Victoria News

The Esquimalt Chamber of Commerce’s monthly mixer is on July 9 from 8:30 to 10 a.m. at the Esquimalt Chamber office, 1249 Esquimalt Rd. Non members are welcome to attend to learn more about Chamber activities and share new ideas, says Chamber Executive Director Adrian Andrew.

There are approximately 640 businesses in Esquimalt and roughly half of those are home-based, Andrew said.

The Chamber currently has 170 members.

“There is a need for a Chamber, definitely a desire for a Chamber here,” said Andrew. “It’s just a matter of getting people in.”

He’s been on the job in Esquimalt for a year and his goal is to reach 195 members by the end of the year. “More and more people are seeing the potential of Esquimalt and more people are stepping up to do things,” he said. “Right now it’s like raw putty, you can mold it into whatever you wish.”

He also hopes the recent sale of the English Inn to Vancouver-based Aragon Properties will help boost economic growth.

“We just need one place to start and suddenly everybody else will be saying, ‘wait a minute, what does Aragon know about Esquimalt that we don’t know?’”

Andrew has been in Greater Victoria for years working in a variety of positions including at the Victoria Chamber of Commerce. Living and working in Esquimalt, he says is the best of both worlds.

“I love urban living but for me, everything in Esquimalt is not that far away. It’s a slower pace, I can walk everywhere – you can get to know people better.”

Officers were called to the 100block of Rendall Street in James Bay, at approximately 10:30 p.m. June 25, after numerous 911 calls reporting that a woman had been attacked and was bleeding from a wound on her head. They arrived to find numerous concerned community members tending to the victim.

During the investigation officers have conducted detailed area canvassing, forensic identification of the scene and released a composite sketch.

The random nature of the attack is concerning for detectives and they have not yet been able to determine a motive.

“This investigation is a priority for us. The random nature of this attack concerns us and we are determined to find the person responsible,” said Detective Shawn Robson. “We need the community to help us identify this person so we can solve this investigation.”

Local Greek community reels after vote News Staff

Sunday’s referendum in Greece sent shockwaves across Europe, with the impact of the vote even being felt by the Greek community here in Victoria.

“There is not much that we can do, a lot of things are developing. Everybody is waiting. They are getting into new territory every day,” said Michael Ikonomou, president of the Victoria and Vancouver Island Greek Community.

He said everybody is confused, with the uncertainty surrounding Greece’s future being the most difficult part to deal with.

“There’s so many changes on a daily basis. People are pretty much numb, they don’t know what to expect, what to do. It’s something that never happened before,” said Ikonomou, who speaks with family back in Greece on a daily basis.

Greeks voted 61 per cent on Sunday to reject a bailout deal proposed by international creditors who had demanded new austerity measures in return for emergency funds.

The referendum garnered a turnout of more than 60 per cent of Greek residents, who have been struggling with austerity measures since 2010.

“Personally, I don’t think there’s a difference whether it was a yes or a no, it’s just

something that had to happen.

I don’t see this as being the catalyst for what is to come,” said Ikonomou.

He said a lot of Victoria’s Greek community is back in Greece now. “A lot of the people are 60-plus and go back for holidays in the summer.”

Ikonomou is optimistic about what the future holds for Greece and believes the country will remain in the European Union.

“This referendum was not about staying in the union or getting out of the union, nothing to do with that. It was whether or not they accept the terms [of a financial bailout] or they want to renegotiate.” editor@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW

Township finds its own identity With the official grand re-opening of the renovated McDonald’s Restaurant on Esquimalt Road last week, it’s a good time to look at how this $700,000 facelift is a reflection of the Township of Esquimalt overall.

McDonald’s Esquimalt is is the first shedding its rough big business and ready exterior on Esquimalt Road to undergo such a major renovation, and owner Ken Taylor hopes it will be the first of many as the township re-invests in itself.

A quick look around the municipality and it’s easy to see that Esquimalt is not resting on its laurels. The Archie Browning Centre is almost finished a significant expansion and renovation, as is the Esquimalt Rec Centre. Admirals Road is undergoing improvements including the addition of bike lanes, sidewalk and street lighting upgrades – and community spirit is at an all-time high with the creation of the Township Community Arts Council last year, the new weekly Esquimalt Farmers Market and the recent purchase of the 106-yearold English Inn by Vancouver-based Aragon Properties.

Taylor stated he “believes” in Esquimalt. “There are a lot of good things happening here,” he told the News.

As the owner of five McDonald’s restaurants in the Greater Victoria area, Taylor has seen the most growth in his Esquimalt location, and local business owners tell us, he’s not alone.

Just a few years ago, the Township was struggling with identity, suffering from regular vandalism and graffiti. It’s delightful watching this municipality bloom and come into its own, growing out of its ‘awkward teen years’ and turning into a municipality you might take home to meet your mother.

B.C.’s frozen carbon tax has ceased to have much effect, with gasoline consumption back up over 2008 levels amid the usual volatility of prices. Gasoline is going for around $1.30 a litre, despite the prolonged slump in crude oil prices, and people have basically forgotten about this tax on top of all the other gas taxes.

Perhaps B.C. can brag in Paris about the Pacific Carbon Trust, which limps along after its neardeath experience in 2013.

The trust continues to divert tax dollars from B.C. government operations to purported carbon-saving activities, including paying coastal First Nations not to log the portions of forests that they demanded be preserved.

A major contributing factor to this is our spectacular and vibrant harbour. We are all responsible to protect this precious asset for the benefit of future generations.

Land use around the harbour should be restricted to those projects that need to be located on water – specifically the harbour – or for those projects where the harbour adds significant value.

The proposed Sewage Treatment Plant for the Ogden Point/Coast Guard site does not fit this principle. It would not enhance the harbour in any way. Nor would the plant benefit in any way by being on the harbour. It could be located inland in many places with no loss of functionality.

We can’t undo what has been done in the past but we can control the future.

Why isn’t the Victoria Harbour Authority speaking up to reject this proposal as this use would do nothing to benefit our harbour?

When will Mayor Helps and her Council show the vision and leadership that Victorians expect and reject this site in the strongest possible terms?

Perhaps a more suitable location for the Sewage Treatment Plant might be City Hall.

I strongly object to annually being subjected to the highly amplified, hysterical shouting and thumping bass noise of the Victoria Pride event.

They’re apparently all for love and acceptability, but oblivious to the unacceptable assault on the residents in James Bay. It started before noon and blasted all day until 6:30 p.m.

The city should not allow highly amplified noise at any time, let alone all day and into the evening.

Fire Ban at regional parks now includes charcoal barbeques Effective immediately charcoal brick and briquette barbeques are prohibited at all Regional Parks within the Capital Regional District due to the current extreme fire hazard rating.

Propane and gas barbeques are allowed under direct supervision. The campfire ban at Island View Beach and Jordan River Regional Parks Campgrounds remains in effect.

The bans will help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety. Park visitors are asked to be aware of all spark sources and to report forest fires to 911.

Gladhanding politicians all hat and no cattle All hat and no cattle. That wonderful Texas expression, often applied to politicians who are all show and no substance, came to mind as I glimpsed television images on Friday.

Ottawa politicians were kicking off a long hot summer of fundraising and rubber chicken barbecues, with the obligatory stop in Alberta for the opening

of the Calgary Stampede.

Justin Trudeau was decked out in the customary bright checkered cowboy shirt, with flowing mane neatly tucked beneath a white Stetson. Along came Tom Mulcair, also wearing a white Stetson and his white shirt accented by a coloured neckerchief, carefully wrangling his delighted grandkids.

There used to be a saying about good guys always wearing white hats; as if to prove it correct, the camera then panned to Stephen Harper wearing a dark blue and black check-shirt with an ominous black hat pulled low over his eyes.

Gilles Duceppe was nowhere in the picture, I just hope his chosen headwear this year is not the hair-net that he wore so resplendently last time he was on the campaign trail.

There was also no sign of Elizabeth May at the Stampede opening, but expect she’ll be in attendance wearing a white Stetson before it’s all over; after that recent performance at the Ottawa Press Gallery Dinner, chances are she’ll be made most welcome at the beer tents.

All hat and no cattle, indeed!

Stylist cuts for good Kendra Wong Victoria News

Bijou Speirs had one of the most meaningful haircuts of her life last week.

The Ecolé Victor-Brodeur student cut 12 inches of her long, thick black hair off to donate to Angel Hair for Kids, a program that helps provide wigs to children between four and 19 years of age who are dealing with hair loss for various reasons such as Alopecia and cancer.

The 12-year-old has been growing her hair for the last five years in anticipation of cutting it off for a good cause.

“At first I really liked long hair and I just wanted to grow it, but then I read books about kids getting Alopecia and cancer and I decided ‘hey, I have so much,’ and it would be so much better for my swimming, so I decided to donate it,” she said.

Speirs was the first client to have her hair cut and donated

at Capilia, a new business in Victoria that specializes in hair loss.

“These wigs are going to families who really can’t afford to purchase a human hair wig,” said Catherine Hanson, co-owner of Capilia, who will mail Speirs’ hair to the program in Mississauga where the wigs are made.

“The difference in their selfesteem when they walk out the door [with a new wig] is absolutely incredible. It’s all about their self-esteem and making them feel good and feel better.”

For co-owner Leanna Eastgate, who also sells wigs at a boutique at the B.C. Cancer Agency, the cause is close to her heart.

“What really got me into this at the beginning was my own hair loss, the emotional part of it. I was 20 years old when I lost my hair,” said Eastgate, who was told she had Alopecia areata and lost her hair within a matter of weeks. “We wanted to

have a centre where we could help everybody.”

And helping people deal with hair loss is what they’re doing.

Capilia helps people (predominantly women) find wigs, unique hair pieces, hair loss solutions, skin care products for people going through cancer treatments — and of course, cuts hair (you need at least 12 inches of hair) to donate to Angel Hair for Kids.

“I’ve never cut it this short before, I’ve always had long hair, so this is something new,” said Speirs. “I feel good, I did something good and my hair feels lighter.”

Hanson hopes Speirs’ donation will encourage others to do the same.

“I just hope that we see more children like Bijou coming in or adults,” said Hanson. “Anyone coming in that has the same courage as Bijou to grow her hair and then cut it off and make a donation is huge.” kendra.wong@vicnews.com

Library uses Lego theme to build better readers Christine van Reeuwyk

Register for programs

News Staff

The ‘Build It’ theme aims to appeal to kids into Lego and Minecraft while encouraging literacy in the annual summer reading program at Greater Victoria libraries.

The Summer Reading Club for kids ages 12 and younger launched across the region on June 25. Registration for the special summer programming opened June 15.

“This is the most important fun program we do at the library,” said Sarah Isbister, children and family literacy librarian for Oak Bay. She toured local schools promoting the program and learned kids in the region are already well versed, with many 10-year-olds having 10 club medals stretching back to their infancy. “It’s so rich and continuous an experience,” she said. “Kids are proud of the reading they do over summer.”

Last year the club attracted more than 6,000 kids over the Greater Victoria Public Library’s 10 branches.

“It’s grown so much over the years, it’s tripled in size,” said Tracy Kendrick, children’s and teen service co-ordinator. “It’s a very popular club, not only because the library staff deliver a wonderful program but also because it’s free.”

Children are encouraged to read whatever they’d like: fiction, non-fiction, magazines and audiobooks.

“Any reading is good reading,” says Isbister, noting audiobooks on long vacation car rides even qualify in the literacy and comprehension realm.

“Over the summer, children have more free time for reading for pleasure,” Kendrick said. “Developing a love of reading is key to becoming a lifelong learner, especially when the whole family takes part. A love of reading is key to success in school, the workplace and lifelong capacity for personal growth and wellness.”

Children who can’t yet read can still join the club and be read to by a family member or friend to collect their stickers and prizes.

“We encourage them to read for 20 minutes a day for seven days for seven weeks,” she said.

The theme for this year’s Summer Reading Club, which originated in the 1970s, is Build It.

CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF ESQUIMALT TAKE NOTICE THAT A PUBLIC HEARING will be held on Monday, July 13, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers, Esquimalt Municipal Hall, 1229 Esquimalt Road, Esquimalt, B.C., to allow the Public to make representations to the Municipal Council respecting matters contained in the following amending bylaw: Zoning Bylaw, 1992, No. 2050, Amendment Bylaw No. 2854 which provides for a change in the zoning designation of 519/521 Foster Street [legal description below] shown hatched on the map below from RM-1 [Multiple Family Residential] to CD No. 93 [Comprehensive Development District No. 93].

Brothers Tom, 6, left, and Adam, 9, Nadler check out the books at the Central branch of the Greater Victoria Public Library after signing up for the Summer Reading club for kids under 12.

As always, the material used provincewide for reading programs features the work of a B.C. illustrator – this year the work of Shayne Letain.

“It’s not specifically related to Lego and Minecraft but it’s going to appeal to kids who love that stuff,” Kendrick said. “[Letain] has done some really appealing illustrations this year, that’s what we use for making the poster and reading record.”

Kids can collect stickers and earn

prizes. In Victoria 6,013 kids received reading records last year.

“The incentives are really motivating for kids,” Kendrick said. “The other part of the club is there are lots of wonderful free programs kids can sign up for.”

The year-round babytime and storytelling sessions are augmented with science and nature programs, music, storytelling and more.

“We have about 140 programs that kids can sign up for, they range from a half hour to an hour,” Kendrick said, adding they’ve added a couple of multi-day puppetry camps this year.

“Our programs are a mixture of [those] run by our children’s programmers and we hire external presenters as well,” she said. Instructors from Swan Lake Nature Sanctuary and Victoria Symphony Orchestra offer a varied expertise to summer programming.

“The other way they can find out about the programs and how the club works is to pick up a brochure at the library. It explains how the weekly prizes work and how to register for the programs,” Kendrick said.

Online registration for the special programs is ongoing at gvpl.ca. Kids can drop by any branch to pick up a reading record. Check out the Greater Victoria Public Library’s online calendar for programs, or adult summer sessions and teen offerings at GVPL.ca. cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

Heated competition expected at Royals camp

who want to make the line up this year. It will be an extremely interesting training camp – probably the most competitive one since we started.”

Training camp starts Aug. 25 with first chance for the public to take a look at the new Victoria Royals on Sept. 2.

Laura Lavin News staff

Victoria Royals GM Cam Hope is already looking forward to a great season with the team.

The Royals will open their fifth WHL season at home against the Portland Winterhawks on Friday, Sept. 25 at SaveOn-Foods Memorial Centre.

For now though, Hope is concentrating on the import draft.

“Last year we had two Russians, Alexey Sleptsov and Marsel Ibragimov. The older, Sleptsov will stay in Russia to play professional,” said Hope. “We’ll go back to the draft for one player this year. We’re eyeing a couple of guys. There are a few 16, 17 year-old Swedes and Russians – it’s like the wild west – we’ll see how it goes.”

The 2015 Royals will not have the benefit of stalwarts Greg Chase, who has been assigned to the American Hockey League’s Oklahoma City Barons by the Edmonton Oilers; Austin Carroll, who was signed by the Calgary Flames; and 20-year-old Brandon Magee.

“We’ll miss the experienced guys who keep the team ticking but that’s the way it is in juniors, guys move up and make room for new leaders to emerge,” said Hope.

Victoria will have two separate six-game homestands next season that mark the longest home stretches for the club. The first set begins on Sept. 25 and concludes on Oct. 7. During that span, the team will host the Portland Winterhawks, Kamloops Blazers and Spokane Chiefs.

The second homestand consists of visits from the Kelowna Rockets, Medicine Hat Tigers, Vancouver Giants and Lethbridge Hurricanes between Jan. 15 and 29.

The Royals embark on their longest road trip of the year early in the season

The new guy

Don Denton/Victoria News

Victoria Royals Coach Dave Lowry runs a morning team practice in the Save-OnFoods Memorial Centre earlier this year. when they swing through Saskatchewan and Manitoba for six games in nine days.

The Eastern Division swing starts Oct. 30 against the Prince Albert Raiders. Victoria will also visit the Saskatoon Blades, Swift Current Broncos, Moose Jaw Warriors and Brandon Wheat Kings before wrapping up the trip Nov. 7 vs. the Regina Pats.

“We start at home then have a longer road trip, it’s the best of both worlds,” said Hope. “It’s the first time in franchise history we’re at home for the first six games in a row. They can settle into the billets, settle into the city, get the first halfdozen junior games under their belts, then later in October we’ll have the longest road trip. It’s a good opportunity for them to bond free of distractions. They get their feet under them before they’re battle

tested on the road.”

The entire coaching staff will return, however Dave Lowry, who was named bench boss for the national team earlier this year, will leave mid-season to prep that team for the 2016 World Junior Hockey Championships.

“In my view, he’s the best coach in junior hockey,” said Hope. “Again, he’ll be coaching the world juniors and that means he has to leave in the middle of the season, as he did last year as assistant coach, so we have to be able to adapt to that. We’re lucky really, to have all of our coaching staff back.”

The Royals’ staff have their work cut out for them as Hope predicts a hot contest at this year’s training camp.

“There’s a whole group of young guys

FIND YOUR PASSION. FIND YOUR PURPOSE.

Shortly after the News spoke to Victoria Royals GM Cam Hope for this story, the Royals announced the selection of 18-year-old Russian winger Vladimir Bobylev, 38th overall in the 2015 Canadian Hockey League (CHL) Import Draft “We are happy to have been able to select Vladimir,” Hope said. “His size, strength and skating will make him a good fit with our group. He got his feet wet as a WHL rookie last year and we don’t think he has shown yet what he is capable of in this league.”

A native of Lipetsk, Russia, Bobylev spent the 2014-15 season in the WHL with the Vancouver Giants where he recorded nine points (3g-6a) and 39 penalty minutes in 52 games.

During 2013-14, Bobylev played for Mytischi Atlant of the Russian Junior Hockey League (MHL). In 35 games, he collected four goals, four assists and 36 minutes in penalties.

The 6-2, 206 lb forward suited up for the Russian National Junior Team on two occasions. Last year, Bobylev took part in the Under-17 Five Nations Cup and registered two points in three games. Bobylev also represented his country at the 2014 Under-17 Four Nations Cup, where he notched one goal in three contests.

MusicFest brings song to the masses The Vancouver Island MusicFest has been bringing great music to the Island since 1995.

Produced by the not-for-profit Comox Valley Folk Society, the largely volunteer driven festival is one of Vancouver Island’s most popular music events.

Over the years, VI MusicFest has grown in attendance but remains true to its original vision; a rural, family-friendly, sustainable and successful music event that puts the Comox Valley on the cultural map and involves thousands in a rich celebration of music and community.

This year’s VI MusicFest offer more than 200 musical performers on six fully programmed stages as well as instructional workshops, yoga sessions, an interactive kidzzone, art displays, a beer and cider tent, top-notch food and craft vendors, on-site camping and a magical riverside venue at the Comox Valley Exhibition Grounds.

One of the magical components of Vancouver Island MusicFest is their spectacular site and the distinct settings for each performance area.

Each stage has its own personality and as you move from stage to stage, you feel as though you have entered a new venue. Whether you’re in the Concert Bowl, on the Grassy Knoll or square dancing in The Barn, you’ll be having a handclapping, toe-tapping fun time.

Highlights include David Gogo and Band in The Barn at 7:30 and country music superstar Lyle Lovett and his Large Band in the Concert Bowl at 9pm on Friday, July 10. On Saturday, July 11, see Barney Bentall’s Cariboo Express at 8:45, Quinn Sullivan at 10:15 and Buddy Guy at 11:15 in the

Esquimalt is once again hosting free movie nights under the stars and this year they will all be in Bullen Park.

“Last year we did a roving program, we went to different parks, this year they will all be in Bullen Park,” said Vicki Klyne, Community Services Programmer for the Township. “It’s more consistent for people and Bullen Park is a central location.”

Bring your friends out to the park and enjoy an amazing movie experience on a huge outdoor movie screen. Movies will be held every second Wednesday beginning tonight (July 8) to Sept. 2 and will start at dusk (approximately 9:45 p.m.)

Bring a blanket or a lawn chair and settle in to watch all your favourite classic films.

“The Esquimalt Lions Club will be running a concession each movie night,” said Klyne.

Concession proceeds support the Lions’ fundraising efforts towards a splash park in Esquimalt.

All movies are weather permitting as the screen cannot be used in rain or high winds.

In the event of questionable weather, notice of cancellation will be posted by 4 p.m. on the Township’s website, esquimalt.ca.

Viewer’s choice voting to pick the final film shown on Sept. 2 is now online at esquimalt. ca with voting available until noon on Aug. 21.

Viewer’s choice films include Jurassic Park, American Graffiti and Disney’s Cinderella (2015).

Tonight’s feature is the Lego Movie (G). An ordinary Lego construction worker, thought to be the prophesied ‘Special’, is recruited to join a quest to stop an evil tyrant from gluing the Lego universe into eternal stasis.

On July 22, see Jumanji (PG). When two kids find and play a magical board game, they release a man trapped for decades in it and a host of dangers that can only be stopped by finishing the game. Aug. 5 is TBA and on Aug. 19, the 1984 hit Ghostbusters, starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramis as three eccentric parapsychologists in New York City who start a ghost-catching business. Admission is free. editor@vicnews.com

Shakespeare Fest celebrates silver season Comedy and tragedy both take their place on Camosun’s outdoor stage Jennifer Blyth News Staff

The Greater Victoria Shakespeare Festival celebrates 25 years with two favourite plays, Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, both performed on an open-air stage at Camosun College’s Lansdowne Campus.

Director Christopher Weddell, an instructor at Oak Bay’s Canadian College of Performing Arts, offers a modern telling of the tragic Romeo and Juliet, opening tonight (Wednesday, July 8).

The whimsical Dream, directed by Britt Small, opens Thursday (July 9) and both continue on alternating evenings through Aug. 8.

Whether audiences prefer comedy or tragedy, they’re in for a treat this summer, says Festival Artistic Director Karen Lee Pickett.

“Midsummer Night’s Dream we haven’t done since 2005 and it’s a favourite, certainly.
