Skyrocketing injury claims raise ICBC ratesCrash numbers remain stable

Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff

There were 477 car crashes in Langford in 2013, which is the most recent set of data available for the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia’s (ICBC) crash map statistics. In Col-wood there were 189 for the same year, 149 in View Royal and 20 each in Metchosin and the Highlands. Those figures exclude crashes in parking lots and incidents involving parked vehicles.

They also do not include crashes on the Malahat out-side of the Langford border.

Of those crashes, there were 269 in Langford, 115 in Colwood, 81 in View Royal and 15 each in Metchosin and the Highlands that were property damage only and did not result in any injury claims.

Since data is not avail-able for this year or 2014 it is hard to compare the West Shore with the rest of the province but ICBC is report-ing that province-wide they are seeing the number of crashes remain constant. However, they are seeing the number of injury claims

skyrocket in recent months. Those injury claims are “a

lot more costly than repair-ing a vehicle,” said Adam Grossman, a senior media relations advisor for ICBC.

Last week ICBC proposed a potential 6.7 per cent rate hike for basic insurance. This announcement was met with an onslaught of objections from members of the public and some gov-ernment officials. Transpor-tation Minister Todd Stone even said the maximum 6.7 per cent increase was too much.

This year’s increase can-not be more than 1.5 per cent of the previous year’s

increase and has to be between 3.7 and 6.7 per cent because of a rate smooth-ing policy introduced by the province in 2013.

“The actual costs of injury claims have been going up over the years.” But Gross-man said until recently, the number of injuries being reported had remained rela-tively flat.

That rapid escalation in the number of injury claims being reported has been attributed to causing some of the demand for the max-File photo

Personal injury claims, some potentially fraudulent, are being blamed for the upcoming rise in ICBC insurance rates.

Hiring Fair Oct. 3Arnold LimNews Gazette staff

Colwood’s first hotel is almost upon us.

The Holiday Inn Express & Suites Victoria - Colwood opens to the public Nov. 2, completing the third and final phase of the seven-year Westridge Landing development on the intersection of the Island High-way and Wale Road.

“We are very excited, it’s a much needed hotel addition to the area and we are looking forward to mak-ing a positive impact and enrich the community that we are in,” general manager Jaulene Matkin said.

One way she said she would do that is to hire locally for the 50,000-square-foot hotel featuring 80 rooms that will need between 15-25 employees to operate. WorkLink hosts both the information session Sept. 28 and the hotel’s hiring fair Oct. 3.

“I think a big part of this is to find the right people to help run this hotel. We are hiring and looking for wonderful people to be part of an award-winning team,” Matkin said.

“We feel what fires our success is our commitment to our staff.”

Meanwhile, hotel construction is nearing completion as they focus on bringing in furniture by the truck-load to decorate, fill and put the final touches on the property before their early Nov. opening. They plan a grand opening in the new year.

The Holiday Inn’s Express hotels are a line that don’t feature restau-rants, instead focusing solely on the hotel without some of the amenities. However there are restaurants in Westridge Landing on top of a con-venience store and numerous other businesses nearby. Westridge Land-ing also features a 3.86-acre mixed use commercial development with retail and office units several build-ings and mid-rise residential apart-ments.

Anyone wishing to apply for a position may attend the information meetings at Worklink on 3179 Jack-lin Road from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sept. 28 for the information session and Oct. 3 for the hiring fair. Anyone unable to attend those sessions may email the general manager at [email protected]

imum increase. The cost of ICBC’s bodily injury claims, which include pain and suffering, future care and loss of wages, are expected to hit $2.3 billion this year. That’s an increase of 64 per cent since 2008. This year alone, they are up 10 per cent com-pared to last.

“We’re seeing more and more.” Grossman said they are especially seeing “more claims for relatively minor soft tissue injuries.”

While he admitted that some soft tissue injuries can result in prolonged pain and can be difficult to treat, he said it wasn’t a rise in the severity of soft tissue injuries but simply a rise in the number being reported.

Also suspected to be a cause of the growing number of claims reported is “an increase in potentially exag-gerated or fraudulent claims,” Gross-man said. On average he said in Can-ada studies suggest that 10 to 20 per cent of all claims have some element of fraud. Which is why he said ICBC is investing in and expanding their fraud detection program.

“That’s something we’re really looking at,” he said.

ICBC also attributes factors such as higher legal and medical costs, more represented claims and more complex/catastrophic claims con-tributing to the jump.

The corporation has until Oct. 30 to file a formal rate application with the B.C. Utilities Commission. If regu-lators approve the request it will be the fourth consecutive year of basic insurance premium increases, which saw increases of 11.2 per cent in 2012 and 5.2 per cent in 2013 and 2014.

ICBC president and CEO Mark Blucher has pledged to work with the government to find ways to reduce the initial calculations that suggested the maximum 6.7 per cent increase would be required.

New crime unit on West ShoreKatherine Engqvist News Gazette staff

A void was left by the disband-ment of the former Regional Crime Unit. It was a void that local West Shore RCMP wanted to do something about. So they created their own unit, the Crime Reduction Unit (CRU), with the intention of targeting and crack-ing down on repeat offenders.

This new unit is composed of officers specifically designated to targeting prolific offenders. These offenders are individuals who are criminally active and have had a high number of neg-ative contacts with police due to criminal behaviour. This also includes offenders who have a history of committing the same type of crime over and over.

With the assistance of the West Shore RCMP Street Crime Unit, the CRU had its first arrests on Sept. 2. A 32-year-old Lang-

ford man and a 30-year-old Lang-ford woman were arrested and are facing numerous charges including possession of stolen property and drug possession after they were found with a a stolen vehicle from the Duncan area that had stolen plates from the Shawnigan Lake area.

The CRU is also making a point of showing off its pres-ence. It conducts regular curfew checks, surveillance, bar walks and is making sure individuals released from custody are abid-ing by their court mandated con-ditions.

The CRU will be working closely with key partners such as probation officers, correc-tional services and crime ana-lysts in order to identify crime trends and hot spots in the West Shore area. The unit will use these partnerships to help form a better understanding of the causes of crime and adopt

enforcement and crime preven-tion strategies.

But the unit is still looking for the public’s help.

“We routinely issue news releases requesting the public’s assistance in helping us solve crime because we know that there are people in the commu-nity who know who is respon-sible for those crimes,” said Sgt. Raj Sandhu, who oversees the Crime Reduction Unit and Street Crime Unit. “We need those indi-viduals to come forward and help us target the small group of individuals who are responsible for the majority of the crimes in the West Shore.”

Anyone with information on a crime can call West Shore RCMP at 250-474-2264 or anonymously via Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Watch speed limits

In B.C., according to ICBC, 78 children between the ages of five to 18 are injured in crashes in school or playground zones every year. That number includes the on aver-age 12 children that are injured on Vancouver Island every year.

While the statistic don’t break down into municipality, it still is an alarming number of children that are hurt every year.

With school now back in ses-sion, the B.C. government, ICBC, and police are reminding drivers to watch for children and expect more traffic on the roads. They are also reminding drivers that school zones are now in effect, unless otherwise posted, with a 30 km/h speed limit from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Playground zones are in effect every day of the year from dawn till dusk.

Tips and reminders for drivers:-When dropping children off in

school zones, allow them to exit the car from the side closest to the sidewalk.

-Never allow a child to cross mid-block.

-If a vehicle in front of or beside you is stopped, they may be yield-ing to a pedestrian, prepare to stop and proceed with caution.

-Vehicles approaching from both directions must stop for school buses when their lights are flash-ing.

-Before entering your vehicle make sure no small children are hidden from your view and always look for pedestrians when back-ing up.

Retaining walls built to hold back Langford Lake could be hurting the long-term survival of the endangered western painted tur-tle.

That’s the finding of a 90-page report con-ducted by four Royal Roads University environmental sci-ences students, who spent almost a year studying the popula-tion of the turtles in and around the Lang-

ford Lake systems. The group’s

research was pre-sented to Langford’s Parks, Recreation, Culture and Beautifi-cation Standing Com-mittee on Aug. 24.

The group found that retaining walls

built by many Lang-ford Lake residents disrupt the natural shoreline and make it hard for the turtles to find appropriate nest-ing areas.

The students sug-gest that Langford could offer incentives that encourage home-owners to remove retaining walls.

However, the issue could be tough to swallow for some waterfront residents who say retaining walls are needed to prevent loss of prop-erty.

Morry Stearns, a citizen representa-tive appointed to the committee, moved to the lake front 17 years ago. He didn’t have a

retaining wall and was losing about a foot of his backyard to the

lake every year. His solution was to build a sandy beach near the

lakeshore and have a wall set a ways back so it did not obstruct the shoreline.

His neighbours on either side have built large retaining walls and their yards are now three to four feet higher than the lake. Residents were only doing what they felt was the right thing at that time, he said. To now try and tear down those walls would put them in a very difficult position as they would likely end up losing prop-erty to the advancing lake.

“All you can do is try to prevent more (walls from being built) in the future,” Stearns said.

A compromise solu-tion suggested by the group is to encourage partial walls, that still allow turtles to access land, or using alterna-tives to walls such as native vegetation that acts as a natural ground stabilizer.

But the fate of those recommendations is still unknown. Mem-bers of the city’s plan-ning department may choose to do their own report with some or all of the recom-mendations and pres-ent them to council at a future meeting. No decisions have been made as of yet.

Metchosin Road receives a faceliftArnold LimNews Gazette staff

Cycling and pedes-trian facilities have been added to Metcho-sin Road, the big hill near Royal Bay second-ary school.

Deputy director of engineering, Emmet McCusker said the removal of a lane head-ing up the hill to accom-modate a buffered bike and pedestrian lane and a widened shared bike and motor vehicle lane heading down the same hill are all about safety.

“I think that is going to make a big difference to the feel of that neigh-bourhood, the traffic will move more slowly and that will help over-all feeling and safety. Our council is commit-ted to safe and acces-sible transportation for cyclists and pedestri-ans and that is some-thing we will be work-ing towards.”

Budgeted at $30,000 out of this year’s bud-

get, the project is based on guidelines from Seattle and have already been com-pleted. A speed reader board will be also be installed at the top of the hill on Metchosin Road to remind drivers to watch their speed entering the residential area. McCusker said the gravel pit nearby once needed the extra lane to accommodate heavy gravel trucks, but the pit has been silent for approximately a decade and drivers have been using it as a passing lane going up hill.

“It’s close to the Royal Bay school and traffic comes up the hill at a high speed (near) the back of Dunsmuir school (and Sangster),” he said. “There has been some concerns and it is a residential area so we need traf-fic obeying the speed limit.”

McCusker said there is more work coming including a potential

pedestrian and cyclist-only connector for Painter and Ryder Hes-jedal Way on the north edge of the school. That initiative is cur-rently being worked on with the developer of the school and could cost approximately $200,000. He hoped to see it completed by the end of 2015. McCusker said more cycling lanes and improve-ments along the whole of Painter road among other key areas are also options for the future, depending on Colwood council approval.

“We are also looking at economic develop-ment for what will be highlighting transpor-tation to some of our great features includ-ing the Colwood water-front,” McCusker said. “Our transportation plans are about safety and economic develop-ment.”

EDITORIALOUR VIEW

Of all the immature, ignorant whining that came out of the recent power failure in the Lower Mainland, one example summed up the decline of our urban culture for me.

It wasn’t the people who flooded 9-1-1 with calls demanding to know when their power would be restored, or complain-ing about their freezers. It wasn’t those on Twit-ter insisting BC Hydro pay for food that went bad. It was another social media moment.

With part of his com-munity without electricity for a third day, Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart went to his Facebook page, which has a wide following. There he pleaded with residents to stop phoning city hall to demand that a local big-box supermarket provide milk and eggs.

Power had been restored at the store only a few hours before, in the dead of night, and it’s safe to assume that all stores were working flat out to restock perishables.

Where do people get the notion that city hall, or whatever all-power-ful nanny state they imagine, control grocery stores? How do they con-clude that in the midst of the worst electrical grid failure on record, BC Hydro is going to address their per-sonal situation above all others?

Vancouver broadcast media weren’t much better. Their big

focus was that BC Hydro’s website crashed, so people couldn’t call it up on their smartphones and find out instantly when their power would be back on.

Some even questioned why wireless power meters didn’t help. Per-haps these were the same journalists who fed the tinfoil-hat superstition about their signals.

The facts should be known by now. After an extremely dry spring and summer, a high wind shattered trees and took down more wires and poles than BC Hydro had ever coped with before. Further damage was

done within areas that were already blacked out, leaving overtaxed tech-nicians unable to accurately assess the full extent of it.

In Coquitlam and elsewhere, poles were down in areas too rain-saturated for heavy repair trucks to reach. Yes, there were some too-opti-mistic repair estimates given out, in response to the constant screeching for instant answers.

About 15 years ago I experienced my worst power outage in the Fra-ser Valley. In a semi-rural area with little backup grid capacity (since greatly improved), my family went three days without power. This was in winter, due to wind and freezing rain followed by snow and cold.

Trickles of water kept pipes from

freezing, and the gas stove provided a bit of heat. I heard no complaints about the crews struggling around the clock with the dangerous job of repair. Media coverage was mostly adult supervised.

Megastorm madness isn’t an iso-lated case. A couple of weeks before that, a temporary construction bump on the Lion’s Gate Bridge deck caused panic and rage.

Aggravated by a couple of acci-dents on the alternate route, and fed by hysterical media, drivers of West Van luxury cars were white-knuck-led. Traffic choked the region that recently declined to pay a bit more for road improvements.

In both cases, people outside Lotus Land were muttering: Wel-come to our world.

This is pertinent to the federal election. Are you competent to save for your retirement with RRSPs and a tax-free savings account, or do you need the government to do it for you, by force?

Are you capable of managing your own child care, or should the nanny state create a hugely subsidized sys-tem, which has already failed in Que-bec, from coast to coast?

Are you ready for the day when the machine stops?

Urban society slides into helplessness

Some pockets are really full

Well kids, if you want to make some real money consider going into politics through local govern-ment.

On Sept. 9, the Capital Regional District Board will consider a report that recommends they give them-selves a raise. Directors, of which there are 22 plus the chair and vice-chair, would see their stipends rise from $8,940 to $17,000. The board chair Nils Jensen would see his pay go from $29,400 to $42,000. Total those up and you are looking at a yearly cost to the taxpayer upwards of $416,000. That’s just for the CRD Board. Then when you factor in the stipend they each receive for serving on their various councils/regional districts and you can see this makes for a well-paid gig. They meet once a month and sit on committees which meet once a month or so. As an example, the councillors in Victoria make $40,000 each and in smaller communities the pay is $10,000 and up. Then there are the mayors’ salaries. It’s certainly seems worth it to “serve” your community and then serve yourself up a little extra cash.

So what’s wrong with this picture? For one, since when is public and community ser-

vice a job? Yes, we all know they have plenty of meet-ings and sit on numerous committees and boards. But isn’t that what they signed up for when they went into politics. When a consultant says they need to “keep up” with the rest of the province, that doesn’t quite wash. It is taxpayers’ money that they are dig-ging into. It just seems that once they get into office, many of them have no problem voting themselves a raise. They talk about cost-cutting measures and mindful spending but that never seems to come up when their pay is on the agenda. Wouldn’t it be won-derful if we could all do that, hire a consultant to tell us we’re not making enough money for the work we do. Most of those (taxpayers) who pay the salaries and honorariums of the elected are hard pressed to find any extra cash in their pay packets.

When anyone signs up to serve the public, then they should be considering the public rather than themselves. The rising costs of local government is astounding and it is absurd that there is so much dou-ble-dipping going on. When we see what some of the senators in Ottawa gave themselves it’s not so hard to see where that attitude of entitlement comes from.

The elected feel they should get paid for all of the hours they spend sitting in meetings, but what about the average volunteer who does what they do because they believe in their community. They also do important work and don’t get a dime.

If the CRD Board wants to hike their pay they will, but they have to realize the public will remember.

Readers encouraged to cast their ballots in annual vote

Arnold LimNews Gazette staff

Do you have a favou-rite beach on the West Shore? How about the best place for sum-mer swim? Or the best place for caffeine, eth-nic cuisine, or martial arts?

Cast a vote for your favourites and they may just wind up as the Best of the West Shore, courtesy of the Gold-stream News Gazette and WestShore Cham-ber of Commerce.

“These awards are important to the com-

munity and raise the profile of one of the fastest-growing regions in Canada,” said Gold-stream News Gazette publisher Christine Scott. “They really highlight some of the favourite amenities and the dynamic, excep-tional businesses that have been out on the West Shore for many years.”

Best of the West Shore, a joint effort between the Gazetteand the Chamber, has other categories rang-ing from best places to take a selfie or walk your dog, to best local sports team and best bicycle shop. There are 40 categories in total.

“The WestShore Chamber of Commerce

is delighted to be part-nering with the Gold-stream Gazette for this year’s Best of the WestShore Awards,” said Chamber execu-tive director Julie Law-lor. “Given the Gazette’simpact in the commu-nity, they are a natu-ral partner to help the Chamber promote the very best of business and community. We’re especially pleased to be able to invite every-one to vote for their favourites.”

Votes can be cast online or paper ballots can be found inside the Gazette newspaper now through Sept. 30. There is only one online vote allowed per computer, and all ballots must have a minimum of 25

categories filled out to be counted.

“We really want to hear from everyone and all entries will be entered to win a pair of tickets to the gala event, so make sure

your voice is heard,” Scott said.

Paper ballots may be returned to any of the West Shore’s five municipal halls, WestS-hore Chamber of Com-merce office at 2830

Aldwynd Rd., the Gold-stream News Gazette office at 205-774 Gold-stream Ave., or Penin-sula Co-Op stations in the West Shore. Find the online ballots at surveymonkey.com/r/

westshore2015. The awards gala announc-ing the winners takes place in late October.

Making a difference with musicMusic program free to those

in financial need

This fall the West Shore Arts Council, in partnership with the Westshore Music Academy, will be presenting the Music Port Band Program.

“Opportunities such as this assist our community in provid-ing healthy options for youth engagement in the arts,” com-mented West Shore Arts Council president, Laura Davis.

“It’s the first year of the pro-gram and we are really excited about it,” added Sabine David, owner of the Langford-based music academy. “Thanks to funding from the British Colum-bia Arts Council and all the other sponsors, the West Shore Arts Council could make it happen in cooperation with the Westshore Music Academy. We are looking forward to the first 24-week run and are hoping on many more to come.”

By November, 20 students will have been selected by a com-mittee and will be divided into four bands of five members. Each band will receive 1.5 hours per week of professional instruc-tion and guidance. The young

students will learn notation, composing, arranging, and per-forming. Instrument rentals, as well as other fees for the perfor-mance space, professional stage lights, and a PA system will be donated by the academy.

Students will work together on repertoire, song writing, and dynamics. Beyond teaching musical skills, this program aims to build skills in leadership.

“The program will focus on building self-confidence, self-expression, and creativity as well as compassion and coop-eration by working together and creating a sanctuary through music,” David continued. “Recording and video sessions as well as public performances will empower and encourage the students to step out of their comfort zone. And it will be lots of fun of course!”

The program is available free of charge for eligible students living in the West Shore commu-nities, ages 12 to 17 years who are living in financial need, liv-ing in a foster home, or expe-riencing difficulties at home, at school, or in their community.

In order to apply, students must have parental or guardian

permission, and submit a letter of reference and a short per-sonal letter.

“The bands are based on a modern band concept and will be formed to the musical pref-erence of the students,” David explained, “from rock to metal, hip hop to R&B, pop and reggae. You name it. That’s why we are asking the students to also sub-mit a short letter about them-selves.”

David hopes to receive sup-port from the community to help spread the word about this project. “We are hoping to be successful so that we can continue next year,” David con-cluded, “and give more students the opportunity to be part of this awesome project.”

Applications can be submit-ted by mail, email, or in person at the Westshore Music Acad-emy. Questions can be directed by email – [email protected] – or by phone – 250-532-0228.

Application deadline is Octo-ber 25, 2015.

Vision MattersHealthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

Eyes at SchoolWe all know that a student should be able to read what

the teacher writes on the board, but there is more to good vision than this. Vision skills including depth perception, eye co-ordination and even color vision can have an effect on a child’s performance at school. While parents and teachers recognize the importance of vision in the development and well being of children, there are youngsters who fall behind at school because of undetected vision problems.

Today, some school districts perform vision screening for their students. These valuable screenings do catch many vision problems that result in a decrease in visual acuity. However, some vision problems may slip through the cracks and these screenings should not be confused with a thor-ough vision examination by a Doctor of Optometry.

Teachers are often the � rst people to pick up a vision problem at school. An observant parent is also in an excel-lent position to pick up on any symptoms of vision problems in a young child. Although the following list isn’t considered exhaustive, signs to look for include: covering an eye or closing an eye; squinting; turning or tilting the head to one side; rubbing the eyes; headaches; especially after reading; reports of blurred vision; and losing one’s place while read-ing. If there is any question about a child’s vision, a com-plete eye examination is recommended.

Grow a Native Plant Garden.

Residents of the Capital Region are invited to participate in a FREE workshop on gardening with drought-resistant native plants. Instruction on native plant identification, their benefits and how to use them will be included. An overview of CRD Water Conservation programs will be provided and participants will be given a tour of a native plant garden. These informative workshops will be held at Swan Lake Nature House, located at 3873 Swan Lake Road in Victoria.

Each workshop is limited to 20 participants and pre-registration is required. Call 250.479.0211 to reserve your spot today.
