BC Ferries considers conducting feasibility study Hugo Wong Black Press

Rental prices putting the squeeze on local people with disabilities Highlands resident says brother has been looking for places for the past year Kendra Wong News Gazette staff

Dawn Siegner is at the end of her rope.

For the last year, the Highlands resident has been trying to find her younger brother, who is disabled, a place to rent in Greater Victoria. She’s

called dozens of places on his behalf, but is afraid his disability is affecting his ability to find a suitable place to live in an already tight rental market.

“I’m frustrated and heartbroken,” Siegner said.

“I just want people to look at those on disability as people. It doesn’t mean people are messed up … I just want to find people out there who have been down this road and can open their doors.”

Siegner’s brother did not want to publish his name for fear he could be investigated due to his living situation.

The 58-year-old’s troubles began

about a year ago when he was living in an apartment in the Hillside/Quadra area.

Siegner’s brother is on disability and receives $1,150 a month.

When his roommate had to move out due to medical problems, Siegner’s brother was unable to pay the rent by himself and was forced to move out.

For the last four months, he’s been paying rent and sleeping in a friend’s dining room near Hillside Mall.

But trying to find a one-bedroom or bachelor suite for around $850 on a bus route has been a challenge.

Colwood residents, particularly the future residents of the roughly 2,300-home Royal Bay development, could benefit from a new ferry service to Victoria, but BC Ferries says it is too early to know whether that will happen.

“I know our business team is considering whether we would conduct a feasibility study, but that decision hasn’t been made yet,” said Deborah Marshall, executive director of public affairs at BC Ferries.

Marshall said no additional details are available.

For more than half a century, CFB Esquimalt operated its free Blue Boat service, helmed by civilians, which transported people and goods for the Department of National Defense. About 400 military personnel and civilians used the boats to cross Esquimalt harbour, but the program shut down in April 2012 due to staffing shortages.

Victoria Harbour Ferry introduced a $5 roundtrip service to replace the Blue Boat, but it shut down after a year due to low ridership.

A service could reduce congestion on the Colwood Crawl, but for now it remains unclear whether the service will happen.

“It’s very early days. We’ve been talking to any folks to see if there’s any interest in it,” Marshall said.

When Royal Bay is fully built out in roughly 20 years, it is expected to house approximately 7,000 people. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Langford’s journey from ‘Dogpatch’ to growing city Council rolls out the red carpet for business Tim Collins News Gazette staff

Al Capp, the creator of the classic comic strip Li’l Abner (1934 to1977), set his story in the fictional town of Dogpatch.

He described Dogpatch as “an average stone-age community nestled in a bleak valley, between two cheap and uninteresting hills somewhere.” Within that context, the fact that the City of Langford was once commonly known as ‘Dogpatch’ speaks volumes about where the municipality once was, and how far it has journeyed to become one of the fastest growing communities in the country, according to Statistics Canada.

“When we were first incorporated in 1992, we were still called ‘Dogpatch’ by outsiders and, to a certain extent, the nickname was well-founded,” said long-time Langford Coun. Denise Blackwell, whose tenure with council started in 1992 and has continued, uninterrupted, since that time.

“We didn’t have streetlights or sidewalks or even sewers in most areas and it was almost impossible to find work in the community so people travelled into Victoria and elsewhere to work. We were sort of a backward bedroom community.”

Mayor Stew Young, who was elected as a councillor in 1992 and has served as mayor since 1993, recalled how when he graduated from Belmont Secondary school, very few of his classmates remained in Langford. “My buddies couldn’t wait to get out. There were no jobs and frankly, it wasn’t a place you wanted to stay,” Young said, adding he was determined to make a difference in the community.

Blackwell shared that vision for the community they both called home.

“Stew and I always imagined Langford

For some it’s hard to imagine but it wasn’t that long ago that the City of Langford looked like this shot of Goldstream Avenue at Bryn Maur Road. (PHOTO COURTESY OF THE CITY OF LANGFORD) as being a place where people could live, work and play and be proud to call home, but we knew that it was going to take a lot of work to get us there. We had vision for what the community would look like and we never lost sight of that dream and have worked to make it a reality,” she said.

According to Blackwell, the turnaround of Langford’s reputation and, some may argue character, began when Costco approached the municipality in 1994, seeking a deal to locate their store in the city.

“Several municipalities had turned Costco away for whatever reason, so when I got on the phone and said I was the mayor of Langford and wanted them to come here, at first they thought it was a prank call. I had to convince them that I was who I claimed and that I was serious,” Young recalled.

Blackwell has a clear memory of the negotiations with Costco as well, explain-

ing that Langford had a situation on the Costco site where there was a private sewer that was failing.

“In order to get Costco we did a sewer specified area and had them pay for a good portion of the cost of the sewers out there. It’s a model of engagement that we’ve used with other retail outlets coming into Langford.”

It’s been more than 20 years since that first major victory, Young said, and Langford has never looked back. He said the municipality decided early on that it was going to roll out the red carpet for business and invite and support housing for people so they could stay here and work in those businesses. At the same time, Young stayed in Langford and built a business empire that has, at times, raised the ire of his critics.

But other big box retailers followed on Costco’s heels and today’s council has

turned its attention to attracting other businesses, including the tech industry, in an effort to bring higher paying jobs to the community, according to Blackwell.

Naturally, the rapid change in the community has not been without its critics.

In 2014 a slate of local candidates openly, and unsuccessfully, challenged Young, Blackwell and the incumbent Langford council that they maintained was taking Langford down the wrong road.

From outside the municipality, Victoria Coun. Ben Isitt has been critical of Langford’s development at various times over the years and still maintains that, in the rush to develop Langford there have been negative environmental consequences. He explained that his concerns are rooted in what he sees as the loss of green space and the creation of unsustainable transportation patterns.

“Recreating Langford, with its rapid growth has not been great for the environment. All those people are having to drive everywhere and there hasn’t been a planned approach to deal with all that commuting. The transit service is inadequate and solutions involving initiatives like the E&N Rail corridor haven’t even begun to be addressed,” he said.

That is a sentiment shared in part by Reuben Rose-Redwood, an associate professor of geography and urban planning at the University of Victoria.

“I suppose it’s fair to say that, from a planning perspective, the rapid growth of Langford has presented some transportation challenges within the region, and for those who want to see every acre of green space preserved, it could be seen as a negative factor. But it’s important to note that it’s a lot easier to be critical if you’re already developed. At some point, you cut down the trees as well,” Rose-Redwood said. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Business-like approach good for local government, growth Langford’s success rooted in business-friendly approach Tim Collins News Gazette staff

Langford Mayor Stew Young is also a principle in a large business empire in the city and beyond, and that business involvement has from time to time, given rise to allegations of conflict of interest.

During the 2014 municipal campaign, for example, a slate of candidates calling themselves Neighbours of Langford ran under the slogan of “Time for Change” and accused Young of being in a conflict of interest situation. At the time, their specific target was their contention that Young’s Alpine Group, was the only garden-waste facility in the city. They said that a public works yard should be established instead.

At the time, Young pointed out there was nothing stopping a competitor from offering the

service at a better rate and added that establishing a civic service at taxpayer’s expense would be inefficient and unfair to taxpayers who were not going to use the service.

The Neighbours of Langford’s entire slate of candidates was defeated during that election.

“From time to time I get that kind of comment, and I suppose it’s one of the reasons that it’s hard for a business person to get into politics,” Young said. “I’ve been involved in business for 35 years and started my business long before I ran for office with

the belief that what I had learned from business would help me to do a better job for the people of Langford.” Young added he’s proud of his business success but now he doesn’t even maintain an office with the Alpine Group, having turned over operations to a group of “really great people who live and work in Langford.”

“Look, small businesses pay three times the taxes that residential properties pay and when they’re successful, they give even more to the community by providing employment, investing in the community and giving to

charities. This Christmas [Alpine] gave $20,000 to charity and it’s something we do every year.”

Young noted it would help governments if more business people were willing to give up their time to help their communities by entering politics. “There will always be critics, but I know that I’ve worked my butt off for Langford because I view the community as my family. Yes, I’ve run a business here as well, but the community has always come first. I think most small business people would do the same.” editor@goldstreamgazette.com

van Loubier knew that chocolate struck a chord with him.

WEDDING & EVENT

S AFFAIR 2018

The Comox Valley chocolatier and owner of Ivan’s Truffles spent time as a chef in Toronto prior to devoting much of his time now to the decadent treats.

Loubier worked with a chocolatier and noticed people’s reaction to chocolate.

“Full-bodied chocolate – there’s a neurological love.

The texture, flavour and feeling of eating truffles are so perfect. They’re so small, but have so much happiness in one bite.”

Loubier saw the simplicity in the product, and realized that he wanted to dedicate his business to making handmade, high quality, fresh truffles.

VIEWS TO TAKE YOUR BREATH

Following an entrepreneurial course in Vancouver, Loubier started Ivan’s Truffles, specializing in natural, GMO-free, handmade, ethical truffles.

He uses a rich flavoured ganache which is hand-piped, individually enrobed in tempered dark chocolate, and dusted with premium cocoa power. Additionally, he uses only Valrhona chocolate, organic cream, local honey, organic teas, edible organic flowers and organic fruit.

While he uses regular flavours such as lavender, Loubier also experiments with other local delicacies such as Cumberland Brewing Company beer and, in the summer, orange and basil, and grapefruit and rosemary.

When it comes to weddings, Loubier works with a client both in terms of flavours and portion size. On average, he makes around three batches a week (around 300 pieces) in order to maintain the integrity of the product.

For wedding options, the truffles can be used as part of the dessert or as favours for the guests. Generally, Loubier suggests one jar per person, but there are many options in which he can work with the client.

Through his website, ivanstruffles.com, Loubier creates his delicacies not only for those in the Comox Valley (he is a frequent vendor at the Comox Farmers’ Market) but can ship across the country.

He is hoping to expand to find vendors in Victoria, Calgary, Vancouver and Toronto.

t was Halloween in Victoria, and Indiana Jones and a surfer dude with a fake tan caught each other’s eye.

The story almost ended there, with these two shy costumed students never going past bashful hellos. But three years later, after they both had gone abroad separately for their studies, their similar experiences brought them together in conversation.

On their first date date at the astronomy tower in Victoria, they knew it was love.

Although living in Vancouver at the 10

time of planning their wedding, it was indisputable that they would get married on Vancouver Island.

Both Zack and Dex were raised on the Island and it was where they both discovered themselves and each other.

No detail was left unattended to on their wedding day, thanks to the tireless planning of the grooms and their families.

However, planning wasn’t without its challenges.

The lack of gender-neutral or same-

sex language used by vendors was frustrating. Most people would ask the name of the bride, bride's parents and bride's wedding party.

From a lack of same-sex wedding cards to people being confused on why a man was going dress shopping with his wedding party, they noticed strong gender norms still in place that they had hoped had relaxed since marriage equality had passed in July 2005.

Zack and Dex ultimately found the right vendors for them and were able

New signs bring ‘brand’ to Elements Casino in View Royal Kendra Wong News Gazette staff

The Elements Casino in View Royal will be adding a number of signs in the coming months as part of its multi-million dollar expansion.

The casino, at 1708 Island Hwy., recently applied for a permit to add a number of signs, including an 72-centimetre “Elements Casino” sign in the entrance, an “Elements Casino” sign on the backside of the parkade (facing southwest), and a sign advertising its new diamond buffet, among others.

“Overall, I think we thought it looked good,” Mayor David Screech said. “I think they’re nice, classy looking signs and I think they’ll be an addition to a great project.”

The largest sign, a four-by-eight-foot “television” type screen that Screech said would likely be installed just before the casino on the right hand side of Island Highway and used for advertising entertainment and dinner specials, has not yet been approved. Council has asked for information about the brightness of it and how much of a distraction it would be for drivers.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING The City of Langford has received an application to amend the Official Community Plan No. 1200 and Zoning Bylaw No. 300 by means of proposed Bylaw Nos. 1461 and 1749. All persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by the proposed Bylaws will be afforded an opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the Bylaws at a Public Hearing to be held in the CITY OF LANGFORD COUNCIL CHAMBERS, Third Floor, 877 Goldstream Avenue, Langford, BC, on Monday, 5 February 2018, at 5:30 pm. Please be advised that no representations may be received by Council after the close of the Public Hearing and any submissions made to Council, whether orally or in writing, will form part of a public record.

A tight rental market is forcing some residents to couch surf or find illegal accommodations.

Desperate search continues Continued from A1 Siegner has called numerous places for rent on her brother’s behalf that he’s found on sites such as Craigslist and Kijiji, and never receives call backs.

She’s inquired about renting hotel or motel rooms, but said they charge anywhere from $1,700 to $1,900 a month – hundreds of dollars above what her brother can afford to pay.

If Siegner’s brother can’t find housing, he’s fearful he’ll be out on the streets one day.

“I’m depressed and frustrated,” he said.

Siegner said they’re simply asking for an opportunity.

“He doesn’t even have the opportunity for a meeting. He really needs to find a place to live.

It’s wreaking havoc on his mental state. It’s very depressing for him,” she said.

“We’re just asking for a chance. See us, meet us, let us have a look at the place, take our backgrounds … We just pray there’s somebody out there that will help.”

Dawn and her brother are not alone in their search for a place to rent. With the vacancy rate hoovering at 0.5 per cent in Greater Victoria, Jim Franklin said many on income assistance are struggling to find places to rent at affordable prices.

“A lot of people can’t find anything and can’t afford it,” said Franklin, head advocate with the Action Committee of People with Disabilities. kendra.wong@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW

Black History Month: a chance to learn In Canada, we pride ourselves in not being a part of the rampant tribalism and racist attitudes that are increasingly being displayed by a segment of the American population.

We can be a bit smug about our culture of acceptance and inclusion of minorities; but it’s a dangerous assumption. We recall low points last year when some UVic students created social media posts ridiculing the First Nations community and in November, when anti-Semitic posters were found on campus. While racist actions don’t hit the media often here, they do still occur with some regularity.

As Black History month begins, we’d do well to recall that, while Victorians were generally accepting of the “Black Migration” of 1858, there was racism then as well. When the steamship Commodore arrived that spring and Bishop Edward Cridge welcomed some of the migrants into his church, he faced backlash from some who complained about “crowding negro men into the same seats with white and respectable women.”

Racism is a complex issue and a single cure for the fear, ignorance and hatred embodied in that term has yet to be found.

But Pulcherie Mboussi, founder of the Victoria African Cultural Society urges people to take time to talk to others, particularly those of a different ethnicity than one’s self. Find out about them, she advises, because it’s only through learning more about people that true understanding and acceptance is possible.

And don’t be afraid to ask questions.

There’s no shame in not knowing, but there is in letting ignorance breed discrimination.

Make Black History Month a time to start to learn about other cultures and people, and extend your knowledge about the broad tapestry that is our region’s population.

The last time I wrote on this topic, a reader demanded to know whether I have read Silent Spring, Rachel Carson’s iconic anti-DDT book that is credited with sparking the modern environmental movement.

I’ll come clean. No, I haven’t read this 55-year-old book, which was quietly but thoroughly debunked after decades of uncritical public and media belief.

That religious faith changed with a 2012 critique by 11 scientific authors, called Silent Spring at 50: The False Crises of Rachel Carson.

It destroys many of her key conclusions, particularly the title’s claim that DDT was behind a collapse of American bird populations.

“Far from being on the verge of collapse, American bird populations were, by and large, increasing at the time of Silent Spring’s publication,” the authors write.

“Although Carson was active in the Audubon Society, she ignored Audubon’s annual bird count, which had long been the best single source on bird population.”

Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Flashback Film Fest offers coast to coast nostalgia Remastered films give digital clarity to the classics Tim Collins News Gazette staff

A concept first envisioned in Toronto eight years ago has now spread to 27 theatres across the country and, for the first time, will be coming to SilverCity Victoria (on Tillicum Road) Feb. 2 to 8.

The Flashback Film Fest features 15 different films and is designed to give audiences a chance to revisit some old favourites on the big screen, perhaps for the first time in decades.

“The problem has been that there have been these great films, like Monty Python and the Holy Grail, that, until recently, were only available in 35 mm format,” said Brad LaDouceur, vice president of Cineplex and one of the organizers of the film festival.

“It meant that if you were lucky enough to find it on the big screen, you’d be seeing a fuzzy,

Royal Bay girls’ lacrosse academy set to soar Three team members travel to California for tournament

But despite the fact that registration has fallen well short of that number, organizers and the coach of the academy are certain the program will ultimately be the success they envisioned when they first promoted the concept to the school division.

Catherine Kozina, who was one of the forces behind the girls’ academy, and whose own son plays for the boys’ lacrosse academy, isn’t discouraged by the numbers, and was adamant that the numbers will increase dramatically as the young women at Royal Bay Secondary become

more familiar with the program.

“We have about 17 girls involved but we know that number is going to continue to grow. It’s a new concept at the school and a lot of the girls involved have never played lacrosse before. But we’re finding that they really love it and Tim Collins the word is spreading,” Kozina News Gazette staff said.

Dean Sutton, one of the other The first girls’ field lacrosse academy in B.C. came into being initiators of the program, agreed in September of 2017 with orgawith Kozina’s assessment. nizers stating at the time that the “Both my daughters and my program would require 30 girls to niece all play for the academy. register in order for the program They have actually already played to proceed. (with other teams) right across North America and, as a result, I’ve developed contacts to get them (the academy) places to play,” Sutton said.

“And once the girls learn 4 T H A N N U A L 2 0 1 8 E A R LY S P R I N G the game, it’s possible for them to get involved with other teams in order to travel and play away from home.”

Sutton explained that earlier this month, his daughter Paige played for Team B.C. and the other two girls, his daughter Avery and his niece, Abbey played for a team out of Pittsburgh called Intrepid as they attended a tournament in Palm Beach.

Team B.C. made a good showing with two wins and B U I L D I N G , R E N O VAT I O N A N D D E C O R S H O W !

three losses, Sutton said, and despite the outcomes, all three girls gained a lot of experience that they’ll bring back to Royal Bay and make the team stronger than ever.

Coach Naomi Walser spoke of the girl’s initial game against Claremont High last November, and described how Royal Bay’s team showed a great deal of competitiveness against their more experienced opponent.

“It’s important for us to get a

chance to play other teams and learn from the experience. I’m looking at taking the whole team to the Sandstorm tournament in California next year which would be a great opportunity. They have about 60 fields there and the competition is amazing,” she said.

Anyone interested in getting more information on the program is invited to contact David Sundher by email at dsundher@sd62. bc.ca or call Royal Bay directly. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Big weekend for the Royals Don Descoteau Black Press

A three-win weekend kept the Victoria Royals neck and neck with B.C. Division leading Kelowna in Western Hockey League play.

The Royals took a pair of games off visiting Calgary here Sunday (7-3) and Saturday (4-1), after going into Langley and beating the surging Vancouver Giants 4-3 in overtime on Friday night.

Victoria (30-17-3-1) is in Kennewick, Wash. on Wednesday (Jan. 31) for a road game against the Tri City Americans, and returns home for a Friday game against Medicine Hat Tigers at 7:05 p.m. The Royals head back out for a Washington road game the next night against the Thunderbirds in Seattle.

Saturday’s game was a tighter affair, with the

shots 24-22 in Calgary’s favour, but the Royals began building their lead early.

Victoria captain Matthew Phillips bookended the scoring, tallying his 34th of the season just 1:01 in and adding his 35th to make it 4-1 Royals later in the second period on the power play.

Tanner Kaspick had another solid game since coming over from Saskatoon at around the same time Zablocki joined the team. Kaspick scored two goals for the second straight game (see below), giving him six in eight games with his new team.

Coleman scored the lone goal for the Hitmen, midway through the second cutting the Royals’ lead to 3-1. Victoria goalie Griffen Outhouse kicked out 21 of 22 shots he faced, before giving way to McNabb in the dying minutes of the third. editor@goldstreamgazette.com
