Habitat Acquisition Trust works to clean up Craigflower Watershed

Kyle WellsNews staff

A new effort is being made to clean up the Gorge by focusing on areas upstream from the actual waterway.

Since the mid-1990s, most of the effort to clean up the Gorge has been focused on removing septic tanks leaching into the water.

Now the Habitat Acquisition Trust is promoting better water and runoff man-agement for the creeks and watersheds that feed the Gorge.

In the 70s and 80s it got quite a bad reputation for being a bit of a cesspool waterway, land care co-ordinator Todd Carnahan said. It is a swimmable place today as a result of all the community effort.

A large portion of the Craigflower Watershed roughly the area between Mount Work and Thetis Lake drains into the Gorge and Portage Inlet. Carna-han said that with increased develop-ment there are increased diversions to waterways through ditching and storm drainage. Development leads to runoff, which then collects sediments and con-taminants (such as oil from cars) and runs directly into the waterway instead of being absorbed and filtered by plants and soil.

They act like a kidney, filtering out the water before it gets into the main stem, Carnahan said. We really have to do something now because its a bit of a bottleneck as a result of development.

His groups Good Neighbours project is working with homeowners to make their properties more water friendly.

One thing homeowners can do is plant more native vegetation rather than expanding their lawn.

In some circumstances, even discon-necting a down spout from the homes gutters and redirecting water into forest soils is more environmentally friendly than having it go straight into storm drains.

These are the people that Im trying to reach, the ones that are upstream of the Gorge, that can actually have an influ-ence on water quality, Carnahan said. Wed be very interested in hearing from folks that live in the Craigflower area and would like to learn more about their property.

A consultation from the Habitat Acqui-sition Trusts Good Neighbours program is free, confidential and non-binding. The group will help with landscaping tips that are both beneficial for the homeowner and the environment.

We can provide a vision for people as a goal for their land management strat-egy, Carnahan said. If we can appeal to peoples desires and wants then were also going to have the result of improved water quality for all those other residents of the watershed.

For more information, visit hat.bc.ca or call Carnahan at 250-995-2428.

The bannock is still warm when a knife carves off the first slice. Fresh straw-berry jam is spread over fluffy slices as the loaf is shared around the table.First Nations art covers the dining room

walls and, indeed, every corner of this Beecher Bay home.

The adults sitting around the table talk about the importance of culture and the work thats gone into finding a location for a proj-ect designed to boost the economy of the tiny community of about 240 (of those, about 100 live on reserve).

But for eight-year-old Marrie Peter, the most pressing issue is whether her grandmother has made more bannock. The first loaf is gone something that makes the baker smile with obvious pride.

Lydia Peter likes to cook for her community and she likes to point out

that food is a part of her culture

a culture she hopes to share with a wider group once the

Chamas First Nation Arts Society

finds a home for its pro-posed art gallery and coffee shop.

We are taking our time until we get it just right, said Allis Pakki Chipps-Sawyer, who most people know simply as Pakki.

The Beecher Bay painter has been spear-heading the efforts of a small group hoping to develop a business that allows First Nations artists to deal directly with the public through a storefront.

The only place for going and selling stuff is down by the causeway, she said, about the First Nations Market in the Victorias Inner Har-bour hosted by the Songhees people.

There are also art galleries around the region that sell First Nations art but the artists say theyre not always fairly represented.

I found, when I brought a mask down to the gallery, they would offer me $250 and then Id see it for sale for $2,000, said Narcisse Baptiste, a First Nations carver who creates masks and totem poles. The one hes cur-rently working on was commissioned by someone in Mexico, though details of how the finished pole will be transported there have yet to be worked out.

By controlling their own gallery, the society hopes to keep more of the revenue currently going off reserve, said Evelyn Vandermaas, a Beecher Bay elder who says she was born and raised with a traditional culture.

Strengthening our future is what were trying to do, she said about the arts society, which meets every week.

The group is in talks with League Financial Partners, the group behind Capital City Centre at Colwood Cor-ners, about acquiring the former CrossRoads Pub build-ing. It currently sits vacant while several groups, includ-ing Royal Roads University, negotiate over relocating the building.

Even if that specific building isnt available, Chipps-Sawyer said the group is anxious to get moving on a location for their coffee house and welcomes any sug-gestions from the public.

The idea is to have a place that will offer music, food (including First Nations specialties) and aboriginal art from across North America at fair trade prices. But more than that, a storefront provides a chance for local First Nations to interact with the community at large and allows more people to learn about the culture of

the people who first called this region home. Originally, the arts society wanted the store to be on reserve land, put decided it was too remote of a location. Its also too costly to even consider moving the old pub building to reserve land. Instead, the society is eying Colwood as its preferred location for a store-front.

Colwood Mayor Carol Hamilton said she supports the groups efforts, though she admits there is a process that needs to be fol-lowed.

Right now its an expanding ripple, if you will, she said about spreading the idea for a storefront, possibly in the yet to be devel-oped Royal Bay area.

The conversation has begun but a big step will be trying to secure grants for such a proj-ect, which first would have to be dealt with at the municipal committee level.

Its all costs, to be honest, Hamilton said. Federal heritage minister Jim Moore is

apparently aware of the societys plans.The arts society has prepared a business

plan though the puzzle is still missing critical pieces such as start-up costs and location.

And while its still early in the process, the society members are confident that theyre taking the next step to restore awareness and pride in a culture that was assailed in previ-ous generations.

Peters, a jewelry maker, says her craft has allowed her to regain a sense of self that had been stripped from her when she was taken away as a child and forced to attend a resi-dential school.

I had a (traditional) blanket that was ripped off of me and thrown in the garbage, she said, recalling the childhood incident as if it was still fresh in her memory. And I was not much older than my granddaughter. Imagine how that would feel?

Its a long way from this day, as she happily gets another loaf of bannock for her grand-daughter, who flits around the room, some-times bored and sometimes curious by the

adult conversation.Yet, almost everything about that conversation

relates to the girl and her generation. The coffee shop and the art are all part of an effort to restore pride in a people who had been taught to feel ashamed of their heritage.

Theres no sense of that in eight-year-old Marrie, who is happy to dress up in traditional clothes and bask in the pride of elders such as Vandermaas.

Asked how well be able to tell when First Nations have healed from old wounds, Vandermaas says: I think when you see kids walking with their heads up and not staring down.

James Smith pleads guilty in Goldstream fuel truck crashSentencing likely to come down in SeptemberKyle WellsNews staff

James Charles Allen Smith pleaded guilty to two charges in the Western Communities Courthouse on Thursday (June 28) related to last years fuel truck crash outside Goldstream Park.

Smith pleaded guilty to one regulatory charge under the Fisheries Act for depositing gasoline and diesel into water frequented by fish.

On his criminal charges, Smith pleaded guilty to dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.

Smith was originally charged with four other counts (two criminal, two environmental) which will be stayed following sentencing.

Neither Smith nor his lawyer, Dale Marshall, would comment outside the courthouse, with Marshall saying he will wait until sentencing, likely in September, before making a statement.

Marshall did say that Smith is struggling with the charges.

The case is due back in court on Aug. 28 for a pre-sentencing report.

The fish counts are up and the Bite Me fishing derby is scheduled to carry on as planned for Aug. 11-12 .

There was never any question if the derby would be held, but some anglers were nervous after the cancellation of the Juan de Fuca fishing derby ear-lier this year because of concerns over low fish stocks.

People should be aware the Bite Me derby coin-cides with peak migration with the most abun-dance of chinook stock in the province, said Mar-tin Paish, member of Bite Me derby and manager of Pedder Bay RV Resort and Marina.

Each year, about 350 anglers launch from the Metchosin marina in search of the big one.

This year, the first contestant to reel in a salmon 43 pounds or larger will be awarded $2,000.

If the prize is not awarded, the pot will be dou-bled for next year.

Aside from the big winner, numerous other

prizes will be given out to participants.No one goes home empty-handed, Paish said. The Metchosin Volunteer Fire Department hosts

an awards barbecue for the derby at the fire hall.Advance ticket sales are available for one day

only on July 10, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., at the Log-house Pub, 2323 Millstream Rd.

Tickets will also be available at Pedder Bay Marina starting July 15.

History of Bite Me Former Metchosin fire Chief Laurie Spears and former Lieut. Richard Jones founded the Bite Me fishing derby 18 years ago.

The derby was initially a small in-house fish-ing event for members and friends of the Metchosin Volunteer Fire Department.

A total of $118,000 has been donated to the Pacific Salmon Foundation. The money goes to several hatcheries including the Gold-stream Hatchery.

Congratulations to2012 Grads andtheir parents!!

The case against a former Catholic priest accused of sexually abusing minors in Saan-ich will head to a voir dire phase of court pro-ceedings in July.

Philip Jacobs served as a parish priest at St. Joseph the Worker on Burnside Road West from 1998 to 2002.

A pretrial conference last week in Victoria Supreme Court set a date for the voir dire a hearing to examine evi-dence or witness com-petency for July 23.

In July 2010, Jacobs was charged with sex-ual assault, two counts of sexual interference of a person under 14 and touching a young person for a sexual pur-pose.

The charges involve three minors under 14, with alleged incidents spanning September 1996 to June 2001, all within Saanich. He was arrested Aug. 4, 2010 and released on $25,000 bail.

Jacobs worked part-time from 1996 to 1998 at St. Rose of Lima in Sooke before taking the position of parish priest at St. Joseph the Worker.

The Roman Catho-lic Diocese of Victoria hired Jacobs despite knowing he had been relieved of his duties at a church in Colum-bus, Ohio, in the early 1990s after admitting to inappropriately touch-ing a teenage boy in the 1980s.

In a press release from 2002 regarding hir-ing Jacobs, the diocese had deemed Jacobs was not a pedophile nor an abuser and he was no threat in the future. After he was arrested in 2010, the diocese noted that it had tightened its hiring practices in 2005.

Saanich police said Jacobs was investi-gated as early as 2002 on allegations of abuse, but didnt have enough evidence to recom-mend charges.

Leaders say costly transit projects need regional voiceErin McCrackenNews staff

The regions leaders are not yet ready to pick and choose from a new list of money pots that could finance a proposed $950-million light-rail rapid transit system, and other transit improve-ment projects in the region.

Instead, the Capital Regional District Transpor-tation Select Committee decided last Wednesday (June 27) to wait for an independent review of B.C. Transit to wrap up in August before making a decision. That may lead the province to give the CRD control of Greater Victorias transit system, a regional voice that many leaders say is needed to manage such a big-ticket LRT project.

Committee members reviewed a draft report that outlines 17 possible funding sources.

Fees on non-residential parking spaces, vehicles registered in the region and levies collected from the workers of larger employers were identified as the big money-makers.

Saanich Mayor and committee chair Frank Leon-ard said there appeared to be little appetite around the committee table to discuss specific ways to pay for an LRT project that is years away from happening.

People want to talk about the project, but no one wants to talk about funding it with taxes.

One of the only committee members to directly discuss the merits of the proposed options, Victo-ria Coun. Marianne Alto said most people who pay for vehicle registration wouldnt balk at paying an additional $5.

Others at the table voiced the need to start sav-ing money for future transit projects now.

Victoria Mayor and committee vice-chair Dean Fortin again championed the benefits of pumping a new local gas tax directly into a fund that would pay for the local share of rapid transit.

It might be 10 years, it might be 15 years, but when you know that our local share will be in the $250-million mark of a $750-million project (for a partial build-out of LRT), then wouldnt it be nice to know that we actually have one-third or half of that already in there? Fortin said.

Following the meeting, Leonard disagreed, pre-ferring that people in the future pay for the local share of the transit project if and when it becomes reality.

I dont think we should tax people now for a project in the future, he said. I dont think we should increase taxes right now to build up a piggy bank.

Taking out a loan is reasonable to help pay for a large-scale capital project, he said, adding tax-payers of the day could pay for the project over a 10- to 15-year period.

Next steps include finalizing the funding-options report, and then posting it on the CRDs website for public input, in August or September.

Transit levies shelved for now Ticket to ride:Q The Capital Regions public transit system costs about $100 million a year, and is covered by $34.8 million in fares, $34.4 million from the province and $29.9 million in local property and fuel taxes.

Q Future transit improvements are projected to cost an extra $1 billion over 20 years. Divided equally between the region and provincial and federal governments, Greater Victoria would need to generate an extra $15 million per year a 50-per-cent hike over current costs.

Accept others differences

Pride Week is in full-swing across the region but we cant help but wonder about the pall cast by an ugly incident in downtown Victoria before the festivities officially got underway.

A man dropped bullet shell casings at the feet of individuals standing in front of a gay nightclub, and used homophobic epithets, leading the Victoria police to categorize the incident as a hate crime. Of course, its wrong to see that one incident as proof of a general lack of intolerance in society.

Instead, the fact this case was so openly and universally denounced suggests weve come a long way as a community in dispensing with biases and stigmas against people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, queer or questioning.

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

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

Speaking of summer, gay tourism is actively promoted for the region.

Tourism Victoria has a full page of links to LGBTQ-friendly sites, entertainment and resources in the area.

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

While some might hold up the insensitive and angry actions of one person as evidence of widespread intolerance, we dont think thats the case.

Lets choose to celebrate the fact that more people are finding the courage to come out to a community thats much more understanding of the importance of accepting each of us for who we are.

B.C. Ferries has begun its summer schedule, ramping up sailings for the vacation season that is crucial to the fleets bottom line.

Its been rough sailing for B.C. Ferries so far this year. The corporation released its financial results in June, reporting a net loss of $16.5 million, compared to net earnings of $3.8 million the previous year. Last years earnings were boosted by the sale of the former corporate headquarters for $9.3 million, preventing a loss there as well.

In the fiscal year that ended March 31, vehicle traffic was down 3.5 per cent and walk-on passengers were down 2.8 per cent. As a result, B.C. Ferries is forecasting a small loss for this year as well.

The spring Coast Saver sale has just ended. Thats a 37-per-cent discount offered Fridays through Mondays, May 25 to June 25 on the major runs from the mainland to Victoria and Nanaimo. The discounts allowed a foot passenger to cross for $9.95 and a car and driver for $39.95.

I asked B.C. Ferries CEO Mike Corrigan last week how the sale went. He didnt have final figures yet, but he allowed that the boost in traffic was marginal.

Its the second year the spring sale has been offered over

weekends, when people are more likely to travel. But instead of generating additional trips, Corrigan

said the main effect has been to shift traffic from midweek to weekends.

One of the primary reasons for this springs poor performance is the lousy weather that kept people at home. Gasoline at $1.40 a litre is another big one. Hotels and other tourism services tell the same story.

Heres another problem: student traffic on the ferries was down by a third this spring, because

teachers cancelled field trips as part of their lengthy work-to-rule campaign.

The simplistic political debate about ferry service starts and ends with rising fares, with occasional fits of temper over executive salaries, and ignores the other factors. Just cut the fares and increase the taxpayer subsidy, say the NDP and their local echo chambers.

Of course, taxpayers are already pitching in an extra $80 million this year, bringing the subsidy to the ferries close to $200 million. Thats how Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom sweetened the pot when he unveiled new powers for B.C. Ferry Commissioner Gord Macatee to set service levels as well as regulate fares.

Macatees task now is to travel

the coast and endure the demands of island dwellers who want the rest of us to subsidize their splendid isolation. The proposition for them will boil down to this: You can pay more or you can have fewer sailings. And where the boat is a third full, you will have fewer sailings.

This consultation period is an opportunity to ask some hard questions. For instance, does Salt Spring Island really need three ferry terminals? And why is there no passenger-only service?

Macatees term as commissioner started with a detailed review last year that pointed to some other ways to save serious money. But CEO Corrigan says there are no quick fixes.

FortisBC has offered an $11-million incentive for conversion of marine vessels to natural gas, which would give the fleet significant relief from spiraling fuel costs. But a ferry conversion would take six months or more, and another ship would be needed in the meantime.

Another promising suggestion is overhauling the ferry reservation service, making reservations free and charging extra for those who just show up. Corrigan says a computer reservation overhaul now underway will take three years.

LETTERSLoan for View Royal firehall a hot topicAlternative Approval Process an inappropriate approach

The Alternative Approval Process (AAP) is a very easy way for the Town of View Royal to borrow $8 million for a new (was firehall) protective services building.

We already owe $2.5 million for the land. The town only requires 10 per cent disapproval through this AAP to carry out this very expensive building.

View Royal has a population of approximately 9,000 of which 7,700 are voters and 3,850 are residential taxpay-ers. This is far too rich for a town of this size. A scaled down version and less equipment at the firehall could/might be the answer. Needs versus wants.

All elected politicians have limits on their powers and responsibilities. Let there, at least, be a referendum.

Joan JamesView Royal

View Royal residents deserve more options for firehall

After reading the Gazette article about firehall misinformation (Fact or fic-tion? June 29), I must say that there is also misinformation in what is being pre-sented by Coun. David Screech.

Perhaps if View Royal had provided more detailed information in the bro-chure that was sent to all residents, then there would be no need to make assumptions about what is meant by a 12 per cent tax increase. Twelve per cent does seem quite high compared to increases in other municipalities.

I very much doubt that the informa-tion circulated by a group of concerned residents falls into the category of knowingly distributing false informa-tion, because it was so difficult to finally get correct information in my own case.

While I wasnt involved in putting the misinformation together, I can confirm that it took me quite some time and many questions on my part, to find out what exactly was meant by a 12 per cent tax increase and what part of our taxes would be affected. I started asking this question on May 11, well before the bro-chure was sent out. I finally received a clear answer on June 25.

In my May email I had suggested that most people I had talked with in View

Royal didnt understand that there would be a 12 per cent tax increase if the firehall loan were to proceed and that the method of voicing their opinion was to sign a form that disagreed with the loan (also something they were unaware of). In May, I also suggested that it would be helpful to provide some examples of an average tax bill and how it would be affected, however that wasnt done.

The main issue is that View Royal residents have not been provided with options and associated costs for various options for a new firehall/training cen-tre, or with clear information about how the Alternative Approval Process works. Is it enough to say that Residents are encouraged to find out more and make an informed decision etc.? Why not clearly provide options?

If there is a referendum, will there still be lack of clarity?

Lynn ElwellView Royal

Council is doing exactly what they were elected to do

After receiving a few emails describ-ing the Alternative Approval Process as undemocratic I felt it was time someone spoke up in support of our councils pro-posal.

The new fire hall was an election issue last November and the majority of the elected council (at least four of the five) stated that they were in favour of the plan to build the new public security building on the planned site. They were very open about this during the election and during the planning process over the previous year. Our fire services are also good quality and are provided at a very reasonable cost.

Of View Royals 6,969 eligible voters, 27 per cent (1,943 votes) of the residents turned out to cast their vote for council. The average councillor in View Royal was elected by a mere 17 per cent of the electorate or 1,183 votes. This reflects the low level of electorate engagement in the Town of View Royal or anywhere in the Captial Regional District for that mat-ter. Taking this to a referendum will not be a representative vote.

History has shown that mostly people with strong opinions get involved in community matters and usually if they are against what is being proposed.

The proposed path being taken by council is, in my opinion, the best option under the acceptable democratic pro-cesses available to them.

My prediction on a referendum: the town will spend $25,000 for the refer-endum and less than 500 votes will be cast. Turn out will be dismal as the ref-erendum will not be accompanied by a vote for council. The nos will win by a slim margin, resulting in less than 300 voters making the decision for the whole community. Personally, I voted for most of these councillors to do the job they campaigned to do one was to replace the fire hall. I dont want my vote in the last election to go out the door, so to speak.

In my opinion, council has done an excellent job in analyzing the options and informing and trying to engage the public on what they are doing. There have been multiple open houses, a very informative website, mail outs to each household and ads in the local news-paper. I support councils actions and direction.

Colin FraserView Royal

Fire department is excellent but firehall costs are too high

No one could ever complain about our View Royal fire department or the ser-vices provided. At present every prop-erty pays an equal share and receives identical attention as required.

Councils proposal to borrow over $8 million for a new firehall to be repaid by a few thousand property owners is far too extravagant.

Since the current costs of fire protec-tion are paid at a flat rate, why has the town devised this unequal Byzantine loan repayment plan, based on individ-ual property values?

Some owners of homes have lived there for decades, long before the val-ues rose to current levels. Homeown-ers with children have concerns with their mortgage payments while retired folk observe their pension income dis-integrating or vanishing. The proposed inequitable charge for an equal service is unfair both to the taxpayer and a fine fire department.

Tolerance to bright lightIf you wear glasses or contact lenses and have

a low tolerance to bright light, you may want to consider getting properly prescribed sunglasses for your vision comfort. Your eyebrows, eyelids, and iris, which is the coloured part of the eye, offer some protection from sunlight and glare, but if bright or glaring light bothers your eyes, you may need the added protection of sunglasses.

Certain occupations such as outside work or driving may bene t from sunglass protection. Sunlight provides the light we need to see objects clearly, but it also emits two invisible forms of radiation, ultraviolet and infrared rays. A low tolerance to bright light or over-exposure to the rays of the sun may cause minor eye irritation while prolonged exposure may cause more serious problems.

You want to be able to see clearly and comfortably no matter what the light conditions and you also want to protect your eyes. Ask your eye doctor as to which sunglass is the most appropriate for you.

Donating for the rst time?First time blood donors often have questions or concerns about eligibility and what to

expect before, during, and after they give. Theyre often surprised how easy it is to donate blood and that it only takes about an hour.

Donating blood can be a bit unnerving at rst, but donors ease into it once theyre sitting comfortably in a chair beside other donors doing the same thing. Giving blood for the rst time is a great conversation starter not to mention one of the most direct ways to help someone.

Some donors rally their friends and family to visit a local blood donor clinic as a group. It gives them a chance to socialize and catch up, and also makes the experience of helping to save a life even more memorable.

For eligibility or clinic information, to speak to a nurse or to book an appointment, call 1 888 2 DONATE (1-888-236-6283). Information is also available online at www.blood.ca

OPTIONS FOR VOLUNTEERSVolunteers play an important role in ensuring a strong blood system for Canadians. The

supply of blood and blood products to patients in Canadian hospitals depends on the voluntary

donations made by healthy people.

Canadian Blood Services is always searching for volunteers to work at blood donor clinics,

to help educate their communities on the need for blood, and to recruit blood donors. For more

details visit www.blood.ca/volunteersor r momrrsss

It takes many donors to save a life.

Canadian Blood Services is asking communities across the country to join together this summer under the theme Rally Together to Save Lives.

Vancouver Island residents have come together time and again to support others in need. Because blood has a short shelf life, Canadian Blood Services is in constant need of all blood types. Rallying together to donate blood can help ensure an adequate supply is available.

During the summer months, donors change their routines, take vacations and are involved with outdoor activities, so donating blood is not always top of mind, said Michelle Stratford, event specialist with Canadian Blood Services, B.C. and Yukon.

But the need for blood does not take a summer vacation. There are still hospital patients requiring transfusions of blood products for surgeries, cancer treatments and other procedures. West Shore donors can save lives this summer and we hope theyll roll up their sleeves to help.

As the highways ll with summer vacationers, so too does the likelihood that accidents will occur. With the help of blood, many victims will survive.

On August 2nd the West Shore clinic will host a fun corporate challenge to help encourage people to give.

The business who donates the most blood on that day will win a fabulous free barbeque event at West Coast Tap House at the Four Points by Sheraton Victoria Gateway Hotel.

Voted one of 2011s top 20 new eateries, West Coast Tap House will host the winning company on their amazing patio.

Get your co-workers to come out and donate!For more information or to receive materials to get your team on board, contact Michelle Stratford, Canadian Blood Services at 250-405-430700777

Are you the type to save a life?Blood is used every day to treat patients

with bleeding disorders, individuals undergoing surgery, transplant recipients, cancer patients, newborn babies, trauma patients such as motor collision victims and many others.

It takes many donors to save a life. Together, we can improve or save the life of a hospital patient so they can return home to their family and friends. Together, we can help someone in our community recover from a life-threatening accident or illness.

There are plenty of opportunities to donate this summer. It only takes about an hour to donate and chances are there is a blood donor clinic nearby. Book an appointment online today atwww.blood.ca or 1 888 2 DONATE (1-888-236-6283). ))..
