Darren Bachiu launches his stand up paddle board from his regular start point at Cadboro Bay Beach. Bachiu plans to cross the Strait of Juan de Fuca this weekend.

Travis PatersonNews staff

Darren Bachiu circles his stand up paddle board just off Cordova Bay beach in a wetsuit and hood, eyeing the grey waters of the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

The upbeat waterman – an apt definition for the adventure-seeking surfer/free diver/kayaker – will be heading for his second crossing of the Strait in less than a month this weekend, weather permitting.

“Crossing Juan de Fuca is not an average paddle,” says Bachiu, who completed the stretch by kayak on June 21 in six and a half hours. “It was a tough crossing, swells picked up in the middle and there were some pretty good waves.”

Despite its appeal as an extreme event, few kayakers have docu-mented crossing the Strait, though it’s certainly been done.

But there isn’t yet a record that Bachiu can find of someone pad-dle boarding the Strait.

“I’d love to be first. If it’s the first crossing, great. If not, no worries, just another big rip,” he said.

After the kayak crossing, Bachiu couldn’t help but think about Canadian Marilyn (Bell) Del Las-cio’s famous swim across the Strait of Juan de Fuca on Aug. 23, 1956. Bell was the first swimmer to successfully make the cross in 1956 when she was 18. It was her second attempt after being pulled unconscious from the water eight kilometres from shore on her first swim.

Bachiu initially considered a swimming attempt as well, but came to the conclusion it might be too much for him, he said, after accomplished marathon swimmer Andrew Malinak quit within one mile of the finish in July 2013.

“It’s funny, I kept hearing (Mari-lyn Bell) passed away. Instead, she is totally alive, liked my story, and now I’m even more pumped,” Bachiu said.

Reached by phone at her New York home, Del Lascio laughs at

the rumours of her death. Not only are the stories false, the 76-year-old said she still swims an hour each morning, five days a week, despite a degenerative issue affecting her spine.

“My son’s boss ... was reading

a plaque about me on the Mari-lyn Bell I ferry (the ferry travels between Toronto and the Toronto City Airport island on Lake Ontario) when someone from CBC Toronto stood beside him and said, ‘It’s too bad she died.’ My son’s boss said, ‘Really? I was with her son yesterday, and he doesn’t know that.’”

Del Lascio found Bachiu’s energy and exuberance about his attempt “awesome and inspiring,” she told the News.

To this day, she trumpets the Juan de Fuca crossing (29.5 kilo-metres) as her most difficult swimming accomplishment ahead of Lake Ontario (52 km) in 1954 and the English Channel (34 km) in 1955.

“People sometimes forget I failed the Juan de Fuca on my first attempt,” she said. “It changed the challenge. The challenge became as much about going back in as it was the waves, distance and tem-perature of the Juan de Fuca. The whole nation, my family, and the

people around me didn’t know how to react to my failure.

“What was going on in my head became a new challenge,” Del Las-cio continued. “It took years to realize that I had become a daugh-ter to all of Canada. That’s how I was treated.”

Bachiu, a 36-year-old Broad-mead resident, is constantly on the water in Cordova Bay, paddling out to Darcy or James islands. In his kayak, he’s travelled the Bro-ken Islands and Gulf Islands, but has been paddle boarding more frequently including open ocean along the West Coast Trail, the Juan de Fuca Trail, all of East Sooke Park and throughout the Clayoquot Sound.

Bachiu said Del Lascio’s feed-back, and the names of seven peo-ple who have swam the Strait, has become added motivation as he challenges himself with a new list of adventures.

Octo-liftThe octopus at Cadboro-Gyro Park playground is moved by a hydraulic crane to its new location only 12 metres away. Crews were concerned the slides might break apart upon lifting, but the operation went smoothly. Find out more below.

The ongoing facelift to Cadboro-Gyro Park took a big step forward last week when the iconic octo-pus was moved from its entrenched location to a clustered space just 12 metres away (see photo above).

The Friday morning oper-ation required Vancouver Island’s largest hydraulic crane, but it means play-ground equipment will now be accessible in the win-ter months when the wet weather arrives, said Saan-ich Mayor Frank Leonard.

“It (the octopus) is over 50 years old. We didn’t know how well it was made, and it

turned out pretty well, fortu-nately,” Leonard said. “I was a little worried at the time.”

The iconic blue salmon also made its way to the same clustered area.

Estimates varied, but the octopus weighed some-where between 15 and 30 tonnes, a beast of a play-thing that will hopefully stand the test of time for another 50 years, Leonard said.

“It was a lot of weight. Even getting the crane that can handle that kind of weight was a consider-ation,” he said.

The Cadboro-Gyro Park renovation is part of a $675,000 overhaul, set for completion this fall.

Eye hazards in the backyard

Some day soon the rain will stop, and we will ven-ture outdoors to do dour bit in making Victoria “the Garden City”.

Before setting out to tame your own personal wilder-ness, stop and think about your eyes (and other body parts). Pruning and trimming can be hazardous. A branch snapping back and hitting the eye can cause mechanical damage and possibly toxic reaction or in-fection. A projectile, from a weedeater or lawnmower, can also cause serious damage to your body.

Perhaps you use an arsenal or herbicides and pes-ticides to help control your garden? Or you have a pool which requires chlorine? These chemicals aren’t eye-friendly either. If you do splash a chemical in the eye, flush the eye immediately with vast, huge, enor-mous quantities of clean cold water; then go to Emer-gency if necessary.

The good news is that eye protection is simple and inexpensive. Safety glasses and goggles that fit over prescription glasses are all that is required, and you can find them in your local hardware store. Our local eye surgeons would rather spend their weekends with their families than treating ocular injuries that are eas-ily prevented.

Have a happy and safe spring and summer.

Marco Vegt and her daycare students ascend the final few metres atop Mt. Tolmie before settling into their usual spot.

Four-year-old Iris points out a discarded cigarette butt squished against a mossy patch of rock and wrinkles her nose.

“That’s why we don’t want to see smokers up here,” says Vegt, pulling out small pieces of hard candy for the eager kids. “I live just behind here, and I’ve actually never noticed smokers. They know to stay well away from kids.”

On July 9, the Capital Regional District board will consider approving the Clean Air Bylaw, which will extend

the ban on smoking to include all parks, playgrounds, playing fields, public squares and bus stops and increase the cur-rent smoke-free buffer zone outside of doorways, windows and air intakes from three to seven metres.

The driving force behind the bylaw continues to be protect-ing the health of non-smokers and preventing exposure to secondhand smoke, said Saa-nich Coun. Vic Derman, who also sits on the CRD commit-tee that approved the bylaw for the board on June 25.

Derman said enforcement details are still to be worked out, but added Island Health officials – who are contracted by the CRD for health inspec-tions – could likely incorpo-rate non-smoking enforce-

ment into their duties.“It’s kind of like a speed-

ing law: you don’t expect the roads to be monitored all the time. Certain roads are moni-tored more often, whereas back roads are monitored very occasionally,” he said. “But we know the community buy-in is significant on this.”

Staff had initially considered adding e-cigarettes into the ban, but Derman said the evi-dence of secondhand smoke harm isn’t yet conclusive.

“We didn’t want to pass a bylaw for health reasons when the evidence isn’t available, and it does need to stand up in court,” he said.

With bus stop enforcement, Derman said B.C. Transit may be able to partner with Island Health in some way, but the

discussions are at early stages.“It’s certainly the right way

to go. In the past, the CRD introduced bylaws concerned with smoking in restaurants and was a leader on that. At this point, we’re playing a bit of catch-up with other juris-dictions across North Amer-ica,” he said.

Regardless of the bylaw, Vegt said she’ll continue to enjoy the views of Greater Victoria from Mt. Tolmie each week with her kids, and she’s convinced smokers will con-tinue to be respectful.

“Smokers kind of know to stay away from people because the health concerns are such a big deal now,” she said. “I’ve never had a prob-lem.”

As the Capital Regional District prepares to implement a smoking ban on all parks in the Capital Region, Vegt says most smokers don’t need to be told that smoking near others is inappropriate.

Saanich womankicks cop in groin

A Saanich woman is facing numerous charges after two Saanich Police officers were assaulted and

a patrol car damaged early Friday morning.

Shortly after 2 a.m., police were called to a home in the 3200-block of Shelley St. to a “verbal and physical disturbance” between two young women, one who was heavily intoxicated, said Sgt. Scott Treble.

“One of the women left the home and was arrested out on the street for being intoxicated in a public

place,” he said. “While being driven back to the police station in the secure back seat area of the police car, she began kicking the Plexiglas partition so hard that it broke a piece out and damaged the whole divider.”

While being moved to a police vehicle, a woman spat into the hair and face of the arresting officer, Treble said.

“The woman kicked the same officer in the thigh.

She kicked a second officer in the groin a short time later,” he added.

A 22-year-old Saanich woman was held overnight in police cells and was released early this afternoon after sobering up.

Police are recommending charges of assaulting two police officers, along with a mischief charge for the police car damage.

OUR VIEW

I don’t want to see the Seaterra program bite the dust. There are a lot of crappy ideas flying back and forth, and I think it would be wise for all of us (not least the councillors of the region’s municipalities), to give our heads a shake.

First of all, thank you to Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard for staying sceptical on the distributed sewage model. At first glance, each of the municipalities having its own smaller sewage treatment plant is not at all different from each of us (for example), having our own, hypothetical smaller hospitals localized in each of the municipalities, each only available to meet the needs of the people who live in that area. It’s a fun idea, but when you realize that each of those separate hospitals needs to have its own emergency room, delivery room, complete surgical equipment, MRI machine, CAT scan machine, etc., the thought quickly goes south.

Like this, each prospective little treatment plant would need to be fully equipped with all the implications for sewage treatment; each doing exactly the same job on a smaller scale. This doesn’t make sense, and surely is not the most cost-effective course to take.

Why not stick with Seaterra’s original plan, having two larger, centralized plants doing treatment, merely on a larger volume of waste?

And to all of us living in the

Capital Regional District who flush the toilet each day after using it: we pump 82 million litres of untreated sewage into the Strait of Juan de Fuca every day. We are the only major city in Canada that doesn’t have treated sewage. The issue is not just poo: there is the huge environmental impact of heavy metals and pharmaceuticals, the remnants of drugs we take. Think about it: our waste doesn’t vaporize into thin air after we flush, instead it goes into the sea. All 360,000 of us have a responsibility to get sewage treatment in place as soon as possible. Let’s get behind Seaterra’s current plan and stop messing around.

Shelbourne plan needs better fix

Re: Shelbourne bike lanes need incentives: councillor (News, June 25)

If the Shelbourne Valley Action Plan (SVAP) had provided benefit and cost information on alternative street designs (two, three, four lanes) for all modes of transportation (cycling, driving, public transit, walking), then everyone would be better informed on which option could best improve cycling and driving safety, compared to present situation.

Now a Saanich councillor is considering incentives to developers, so Shelbourne

Street could be widened without expropriation of adjacent private property, as this plan could gather dust on the shelf. The SVAP assumes that travel on Shelbourne for the next thirty years will be an extension of the past. Without separate cycling lanes on Shelbourne, safer driving and cycling can’t occur.

What the SVAP does not do is strategically enable a better future - including adaptation to climate change. The biggest part of a comprehensive solution to transportation problems on Shelbourne is better neighbourhoods - through better connectivity, density and mix of uses in all Saanich. Then more people will travel shorter distances, as it will be more convenient to work and play near our homes. With an aging population and rising gasoline costs, a strategic plan based on this emerging possibility is worthy of our careful consideration.

Ray Travers,Saanich

Stick to current sewage plan

Smoking ban sign of the times

A looming ban on smoking throughout most public areas of the Capital Region will be a sweeping change for the roughly 11 to 15 per cent of us who still light up on a daily basis.

Once implemented, smokers will be prohibited from satisfying their nicotine fix at any park, playground, playing field, public square, beach or bus stop.

On its surface (and likely to many smokers), the Capital Regional District’s strict Clean Air Bylaw appears a potential violation of personal freedoms. But look closer, and it’s obvious the health concerns

associated with secondhand smoke should accommodate the increased restrictions on smoking.

Still, the increase in the non-smoking buffer zone between doors, windows and air intakes from three to seven metres means smokers are forced to wander for relief in dense urban areas for hundreds of metres, an inconvenient task and not feasible while on a quick break from work.

As well, when the CRD first announced the bylaw last year, the B.C. Civil Liberties Association expressed concern that the government was asking too much of smokers. BCCLA policy director Micheal Vonn pointed specifically to comments made by Island Health officials that smoking near children can have a “significant positive social modelling” effect, a claim Vonn said was too broad in scope.

Smokers should never have to shield their behaviour, nor should they need to quit altogether simply because of a bylaw. Regardless, the balance between smokers’ rights and non-smokers’ health concerns will likely need to be revisited by the courts, as a challenge to the new CRD bylaw is plausible in the next few years.

In the meantime, smokers should take note of the pending changes and consider a switch to e-cigarettes, which for now (at least) aren’t included in the ban.

Highlander ready for big test at UVicTravis PatersonNews staff

Tonight’s friendly between the Victoria Highlanders FC and visiting Edmonton FC of the North American Soccer League is the first of the High-landers’ two biggest matches in the club’s five year history.

Kickoff tonight is 6 p.m. at the University of Victoria’s Centennial Stadium between the Highlanders (PDL) and Edmonton (NASL), as the latter tours in preparation for the upcoming season.

It marks the return of Colin Miller, current Edmonton coach, who led the Highlanders in their first years, which included a 17-year-old kid named Andrew Ravenhill, one of the four remaining original Highlanders.

“Colin’s a very Scottish coach, likes a fast game, he likes his team to play direct and aggressive, big and strong,” Ravenhill said. “It’s a rough and tumble style, while finishing

your plays and goals.” Ravenhill played metro from 12

years old but before that was a mem-ber of the Gorge Soccer Association.

Getting to play Edmonton is big, but nothing will ever compare to the Glasgow Rangers at Centennial on July 21, he said.

“I certainly prefer to play Edmon-ton first. It’s a league that is fluid with our league, there’s players in our league who could make that tran-sition to the NASL. Edmonton will prepare us for a team that’s far and away in a different world.

“Glasgow, they’re a team that is like playing an international game. It will be the single-most difficult and most elite game I’ve ever played in. I’ll have star-struck eyes. They’re a sto-ried club, internationally renowned.”

FC Edmonton arrived in Victoria Monday afternoon after a 5-1 victory over Kamloops Men’s All-Stars on Sunday.

As well, when the CRD first announced the bylaw last year, the B.C. Civil Liberties Association expressed concern that the government was asking too much of smokers. BCCLA policy director Micheal Vonn pointed specifically to comments made by Island Health officials that smoking near children can have a “significant positive social modelling” effect, a claim Vonn said was too broad in scope.

Smokers should never have to shield their behaviour, nor should they need to quit altogether simply because of a bylaw. Regardless, the balance between smokers’ rights and non-smokers’ health concerns will likely need to be revisited by the courts, as a challenge to the new CRD bylaw is plausible in the next few years.

In the meantime, smokers should take note of the pending changes and consider a switch to e-cigarettes, which for now (at least) aren’t included in the ban.

Both Bachiu and Del Lascio agree the Strait of Juan de Fuca has been left alone in terms of swimming, likely because it’s so cold and mar-athon swimmers tend to swear against wetsuits.

Bachiu also wants dearly to cross the English Channel, but he’ll focus on the task at hand first.

“It’s funny, the English Channel seems to be regarded as the Mount Everest of channel crossings, but the (Strait of Juan de Fuca) is bigger and badder,” he said.

Follow Bachiu’s result online at vicnews.com.

Continued from Page A1

Strait crossing still a feat

Did you know?n Attempted swims of the Juan de Fuca date back to 1933

n Successful swim crossings have been completed by Bert Thomas (1955), Cliff Lumsdon (1956), Amy Hiland (1956), Ben Laughren (1956), Marilyn Bell (1956) and Vicki Keith (1989)

Aboriginal communities across B.C. are cele-brating a court ruling that redefines ownership of their traditional territory outside reserves.

The Supreme Court of Canada has upheld the Tsilhqot’in Nation’s claim to aboriginal title over the Nemiah Valley west of Williams Lake, in a land-mark ruling with effects on land claims across the province.

In a unanimous decision, the country’s highest court rejected the B.C. government’s argument that aboriginal title should be restricted to settle-ment sites and other places frequently occupied by semi-nomadic aboriginal people before Euro-pean contact.

Joe Alphonse, tribal chief of the Tsilhqot’in Nation, said the ruling is a victory in a struggle that had its roots in deadly conflict with a wave of gold seekers during the 1860s. He said the communi-ties need more control over resources to support more people living on reserves.

“We didn’t fight in this case to separate from Canada,” Alphonse said. “We fought in this case to get recognized, to be treated as equals in a mean-ingful way.”

Sites used for hunting and fishing were exhaus-tively studied in a 2003 case that granted broad title but was later overturned by the B.C. Court of Appeal.

“The Province’s criticisms of the trial judge’s findings on the facts are primarily rooted in the

erroneous thesis that only specific, intensively occupied areas can support Aboriginal title,” the eight Supreme Court of Canada justices agreed in a unanimous ruling released Thursday.

The Tsilhqot’in case was strengthened by evi-dence that “prior to the assertion of sovereignty the Tsilhqot’in people repelled other people from their land and demanded permission from outsid-ers who wished to pass over it,” the judges wrote.

The case began in 1983 when the B.C. govern-ment issued timber permits for the region and the Xeni Gwet’in, one of six Tsilhqot’in communities, went to court to stop the logging.

Haida Nation president Peter Lantin said the Tsilhqot’in case strengthens his island commu-nity’s title claim of the surrounding ocean off B.C.’s North Coast, which he expects to use against plans for oil tankers from the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal.

B.C. Attorney General Suzanne Anton said the Tsilhqot’in ruling, like other aboriginal title cases, emphasizes that negotiated settlements are prefer-able to court action to settle claims in the majority of the province that are not covered by treaties.

NDP leader John Horgan said the decision shows the B.C. government should have accepted the 2007 decision by B.C. Supreme Court Justice David Vickers.

“Instead, the B.C. Liberal government wasted millions of scarce tax dollars and created seven more years of uncertainty for investors and com-munities by blindly pursuing a legal theory that was unanimously and soundly rejected today by the Supreme Court of Canada,” Horgan said.

Suzanne Frances (Ryall) Shaw, 76, of Esquimalt, BC, passed away peacefully, surrounded by love, at Victoria Hospice on June 20, 2014. Suzanne is predeceased by her parents, Dr. David and Mrs. Frances Ryall (nee Salmon), and survived by her son, Kevin (Caro-lyn) Campbell, children Brendan and Aidan, of St. Albert, AB, son Sean (Kathryn) Campbell, of Langley, BC, daughter Erin (Drew) Jory, children Nicole and Kai of Salt Spring Island, BC. Suzanne leaves her sister Cynthia (Mark) Walters, UK, their children Alex-andra (Steve) Howell, Canmore, AB, and Adam (Zeng Juan) Wal-ters, UK; her brother Philip (Yvonne) Ryall, and children Gavin (Theresa) Ryall and Anita Ryall, Australia.

Suzanne was born in Victoria, BC, lived in Alert Bay and grew up in McBride, BC, where her father was the general practitioner. After graduating high school in 1955, Suzanne moved to Victoria to attend nursing school. She married Glen Campbell in 1959 and left nursing to raise her family. She reentered the workforce at Dr. Mark Fischer’s office in Victoria, among others, T.M. Thomson & Associates, the Royal B.C. Museum, and finally the Ministry of Municipal Affairs until she retired at the age of 65.

Suzanne was involved with The Commonwealth Games, Dixieland Jazz Festival, The Tall Ships of Victoria, Victoria Beer Fest, Victoria Blues Fest, CAMRA(Campaign for Real Ale), the CAMRAmblers Walking Group, and her beloved “Bus Buddies”. Suzanne was also a founding member of the Sydney North Saanich Yacht Club and was reciprocating secretary for many years. Suzanne’s family wish to express their sincere thanks to all at Victoria Hospice for making Suzanne’s final days so comfortable and peaceful.

Also thanks to the Victoria Cancer Clinic and to her G.P. Dr. Gord Zacharias and staff. Special thanks to her good friends Marj and Phil and all others who lent a hand these last few months. Su-zanne never dwelt on her illness, preferring to remain busy with a cheerful outlook. Goodbye Suzi, your indomitable spirit and beau-tiful smile will live on in our hearts. The Eagles “It’s Your World Now” is how she would like to be remembered.

Suzanne F. Shaw(1938 - 2014)

Suzanne Frances (Ryall) Shaw, 76, of Esquimalt, BC, passed away peacefully, surrounded by love, at Victoria Hospice on June 20, 2014. Suzanne is predeceased by her parents, Dr. David and Mrs. Frances Ryall (nee Salmon), and survived by her son, Kevin (Caro-lyn) Campbell, children Brendan and Aidan, of St. Albert, AB, son Sean (Kathryn) Campbell, of Langley, BC, daughter Erin (Drew) Jory, children Nicole and Kai of Salt Spring Island, BC. Suzanne leaves her sister Cynthia (Mark) Walters, UK, their children Alex-andra (Steve) Howell, Canmore, AB, and Adam (Zeng Juan) Wal-ters, UK; her brother Philip (Yvonne) Ryall, and children Gavin (Theresa) Ryall and Anita Ryall, Australia.

Suzanne was born in Victoria, BC, lived in Alert Bay and grew up in McBride, BC, where her father was the general practitioner. After graduating high school in 1955, Suzanne moved to Victoria to attend nursing school. She married Glen Campbell in 1959 and left nursing to raise her family. She reentered the workforce at Dr. Mark Fischer’s office in Victoria, among others, T.M. Thomson & Associates, the Royal B.C. Museum, and finally the Ministry of Municipal Affairs until she retired at the age of 65.

Suzanne was involved with The Commonwealth Games, Dixieland Jazz Festival, The Tall Ships of Victoria, Victoria Beer Fest, Victoria Blues Fest, CAMRA(Campaign for Real Ale), the CAMRAmblers Walking Group, and her beloved “Bus Buddies”. Suzanne was also a founding member of the Sidney North Saanich Yacht Club and was reciprocating secretary for many years. Suzanne’s family wish to express their sincere thanks to all at Victoria Hospice for making Suzanne’s final days so comfortable and peaceful.

Also thanks to the Victoria Cancer Clinic and to her G.P. Dr. Gord Zacharias and staff. Special thanks to her good friends Marj and Phil and all others who lent a hand these last few months. Su-zanne never dwelt on her illness, preferring to remain busy with a cheerful outlook. Goodbye Suzi, your indomitable spirit and beau-tiful smile will live on in our hearts. The Eagles “It’s Your World Now” is how she would like to be remembered.

Suzanne F. Shaw(1938 - 2014)

A Celebration of Suzanne’s Life will be held on Saturday, July 26th from 12-3pm at the English Inn on Lampson Streetin Esquimalt. Please R.S.V.P. to Erin Jory at [email protected].
