Honouring the peacekeepersFormer Victoria Police Department officer Rick Anthony takes a moment to compose himself during the 22nd annual Peacekeepers Memorial Day service in Victoria on Saturday. Anthony, now an Oak Bay police officer, is a veteran of the 2001 United Nation’s Peacekeeping mission in Kosovo. The ceremony recalls the deaths of nine Canadians killed when a missile hit their aircraft over the Golan Heights on Aug. 9, 1974. Forty years later, the tragedy continues to represent the most Canadian lives lost in a single incident as part of a military peace operation since the Korean War. For more on the ceremony, please turn to page A11.

No water shortage expected in regionDrew McLachlanNews staff

While hot and dry conditions have forced the prov-ince to issue stage three drought restrictions across Vancouver Island, CRD officials say the southern Island is not at risk of a water shortage, and residents need not worry about higher restrictions.

“Water conservation is always a good idea,” CRD senior communications manager Andy Orr said, “but we’re not asking people to do any more than they’re already doing.”

Greater Victoria hasn’t seen any serious issues regarding water shortages since 2003, when the Sooke water reservoir was raised.

Orr said the reservoir is 83.5 per cent full, as of Monday, and could continue serving the CRD for over a year at the current level of demand.

Stage one water conservation came into effect on May 1, and remain until Sept. 30. Stage one comes into effect automatically each year, and aims for a 10-per-cent reduction in water usage.

Restrictions include limiting lawn watering to twice a week, from 4 to 10 a.m. and 7 to 10 p.m. on Wednes-day and Saturday for even-numbered addresses, and Thursday and Sunday for odd-numbered addresses. Vehicles must also be washed using a hose equipped with a shut-off nozzle.

Stage three restrictions, which have been imple-mented in many districts across the province, call for a voluntary 20 per cent reduction in water usage. Along with heavier restriction to lawn watering, resi-dents are also asked not to fill pools or hot tubs.

Olympic coach seeks compensation for reputation damageTravis PatersonNews staff

Simon Whitfield has been praised for his passionate expres-sion on Twitter. But a civil suit filed this week is suggesting he went to far in targeting Paula Find-lay’s coach Patrick Kelly following her disappointing result, finishing dead last in the women’s triathlon at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

Now Whitfield is the target. The retired Olympic athlete and

Fairfield resident is the defendant in a notice of civil claim filed with the Supreme Court of B.C.on Aug. 1, by triathlon coach Patrick Kelly. As of Monday morning Whitfield

hadn’t been served and was still waiting to respond, though he confirmed having read about it in the newspapers.

Kelly’s background goes far back in Victoria. He was part of the city’s first wave of triathletes

in the early 1980s.

As well as coach-ing Cana-da’s elites, such as F i n d l a y , Kelly was best known in Greater V i c t o -ria as the N a t i o n a l Triathlon

Centre program co-ordinator for most of the last decade. The NTC was based out of Saanich Com-monwealth Place, where Kelly coached dozens of up-and-coming

junior triathletes (16 to 23), includ-ing 2016 Olympic hopefuls Kirsten Sweetland (25) and Matt Sharpe (23) of Saanich, who recently rep-resented Canada at the 2014 Com-monwealth Games in Glasgow.

Kelly now coaches in Hong Kong with the Hong Kong Sports Institute but says in the claim that his reputation within the interna-tional triathlon community has been damaged by Whitfield’s attacking comments. They came in a specific tweet on Aug. 4, 2012, followed by additional comments overheard among journalists that day, and then spoken in a media session the next day.

Here’s an excerpt of Whitfield’s comments in the claim, which remain unproven.

“Patrick Kelly endorsed a rushed recovery plan for Paula Findlay … Over and over and over again, they just kept driving the car into a brick wall, and in the end, they all finally said, ‘She’s dif-

ficult to work with,’ and they all jumped ship. No, you should have stood up and said, ‘We failed.’”

Findlay was a medal favourite in London due to her success in the ITU World Cup series, though the coaching relationship ended in the weeks prior to the London Games.

Whitfield, a two-time Olympic medalist and Canada’s flag bearer in London, tweeted in earnest dur-ing the women’s London Games triathlon.

While most of his tweets reported on the nature of the race’s progression, his frustration came through when it was clear Findlay’s chances at a podium fin-ish had slipped away.

As of Aug. 7, the following tweet remained on Whitfield’s wall, though it has been requested within Kelly’s claim, launched from North Vancouver, to remove such defaming tweets from that day, Aug. 4, 2012.

“gutted 2c Paula so upset. There are some people who need to be held accountable here, total incompetence before they jumped ship. #shameful”

Though it comes two years late, it’s not the only story of contro-versy amongst South Island ath-letes at the London Games. At the time, there was an undeniable rift among the Elk Lake rowers, home of Canada’s men’s program and the Patricia Obee and Lindsay Jennerich boat. That team eventu-ally ended with the dismissal of maligned and loved (depending on the camp), and highly success-ful coach Mike Spracklen following the games.

Spracklen’s coaching styles are said to have divided the men’s rowing program into two camps, despite the men’s heavyweight eight boat winning silver, it’s sec-ond straight medal following gold in 2008.

Whitfield faces legal action over Twitter comments

Drew McLachlanNews staff

The Victoria Dragon Boat Festival sails into its 20th annual celebration this weekend with its largest roster yet.

Ninety teams from throughout the Pacific northwest will race all day Saturday and Sunday in divisions ranging from novice to elite.

General Manager Glenys Haskins said that the society’s acquisition of the Gorge Paddling Club earlier this year will help keep it connected with Victoria’s dragon boat community.

“From the paddlers’ perspective, this means the festival can be more in touch with what they will appreciate,” Haskins said. “We can act as a guiding hand for the growth of the sport, we can go beyond just being a once a year festival and add a year-round component.”

The festival begins on Friday at 1 p.m. with a blessing by Songhees and Esquimalt elders, followed by the traditional eye-dotting ceremony, in which Taoist priests dot the eyes of each dragon boat in order to awaken them before racing.

Racing begins at 8 a.m. on Saturday, with qualifying teams moving on to the semi-finals at 8 a.m. on Sunday. Awards will be given to paddlers on Sunday afternoon, followed by a closing Paddlers’ Dance at 4:30 p.m.

Aside from racing, participants can enjoy live music at the main stage at Ship Point, as well as dance, Tai Chi, Kung Fu and hip-hop performances at the cultural stage next to the Forbidden City Food Court.

Food trucks will be on-site and historic First Nations and Chinese walking tours will take place each afternoon.

Cosmetic Advantages

Many people choose to wear contact lenses instead of their glasses for the cos-metic advantage. They fit closely to your eyes so that few people notice that you are wearing corrective lenses. However, this is just one of several advantages of wearing contact lenses.

Contacts permit a wider field of vision than eyeglasses. There is no frame to get in your line of sight when you look to the left, right, up or down. The close fit presents a less distorted and more realistic view of the world around us. A tendency to allow for more efficient eye coordination is still an-other advantage, particularly in sports.

They do require more conscientious care than glasses, because they must be kept clean, free of irritants and harmful bacteria. If you think you would like to wear contacts, ask your Optometrist if he or she would rec-ommend them for you.

Victoria from the skyA trip in a small plane gives a bird’s-eye-view to our region – and we’re a lot closer than you think

Don DentonNews staff

One moment you are trundling down the airport runway and then, impossibly quickly it seems, you are lifting off, the tiny craft twitching and shifting with the wind.

Few people experience flight in a small plane. Most of us fly in a large jetliner, viewing the world from the vantage point of a small window high above the earth protected from the out-side by what feels like a thick skin of metal. Our view is vast and often interfered with by passing clouds.

In a small plane you enjoy looking out through a larger win-dow and you are so much closer to the earth. You still have a unique bird’s-eye view but you are low enough to spot small details.

The first thing that strikes you is how close everything actu-ally is. The topography that shapes our land travel flattens out under our sky high eye. Elk Lake may seem a long ways from the Cordova Bay Golf Course though really it’s the ridge that separates them that creates the distance.

Heading towards downtown Victoria, details that stand out are the large playing fields of the University of Victoria and the light-coloured roofs of Uptown glowing with reflected sunlight.

Royal Jubilee Hospital appears as a surprising interruption in a sea of residential housing.

We pass over Royal Athletic Park, the ball diamond clear to the eye, if only the HarbourCats were playing now we could easily see each player at his position.

Looking to our right, the green fairways of the Gorge Vale Golf Club stand out on the horizon, looking from this angle like the runs of a ski hill.

We view roads, houses and apartments interspersed with industrial areas and we clearly see and perhaps for the first time really understand, how our various waterways affect our travel and construction.

In the harbour, the wake behind boats and taxiing seaplanes stand out against the dark water.

Over downtown, we recognize so many buildings and areas: the construction site that surrounds the Johnson Street Bridge, the unique sinuous shape of the Shutters condo complex in the Songhees, the MV Coho ferry at dock and the iconic Empress Hotel and B.C. legislature building, still impressive from the air.

We spot our favourite parks, many just small green squares, but Beacon Hill is a large presence with it’s heavily treed areas contrasting with the, at this time of year, dried out grassy fields. We note the number of trees along streets.

Too soon this short flight is done and we turn to return to the airport, a descent that brings us back to our street level view of life and leaves us looking up and envying the eagle soaring above.

Car show fundraiser shifts gear to Saanich Peninsula

Christine van ReeuwykNews staff

Rows of shining vehicles will help keep a pair of sparkling health foundations highlighting community and children’s health this year.

The German Auto Import Network hosts the 2014 Vancouver Island Motor Gathering on Aug. 17 with funds raised supporting the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Vancouver Island and the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation.

For many years, under many different names, the car show was held on the grounds of the Queen Alexandra Centre for Children’s Health. It has decades-old roots as a fundraiser for what is now called the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Vancouver Island.

“It is a longstanding community event, it has raised awareness,” said Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island CEO Linda Hughes.

It has also raised tens of thousands of dollars for the cause, she added. This year the funds raised will go toward early intervention for children’s health.

“When a child is born and you know that child

is facing some health challenges … The earlier some strategies can be learned and extra assistance the more prepared they are as they become older,” Hughes said. “They can become all they can be (and) be included in their family and community.”

Despite not being “a sophisticated car aficionado” she finds the show amazing – a blend of new and old cars, as well as some unique vehicles. The show includes motorcycles as well.

“They’re amazingly kept and people take such pride in these vehicles,” said Hughes.

Pride in vehicles is something the German Auto Import Network shares and part of the reason they took over organization of the event last year.

“We love cars. This is our business and it’s just something we feel we can do,” said Cindy Mui, marketing director, German Auto Import Network.

”We raised over $52,000 and that was just in cash.

This year, we wanted to be able to support another local charity as well.”

They added the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation, which funds equipment and programs at their community hospital fit their desire for a charity with community roots. The SPHF current campaign is to raise $2.4 million for a CT scanner. It has raised

$2.3 million to date and will also host a live auction of a 1990 Rolls Royce at 1 p.m. during the Vancouver Island Motor Gathering.

“These charities seemed like a fit for us … we support as much local as possible. That’s our main focus,” Mui said.

Black Press staff, representing Island-wide community newspapers will put their efforts forward as well.

Working with the Salmon Farmers Association of B.C. and Truffles Catering they’ll host a by- donation salmon burger barbecue with proceeds going to the two charities the event supports.

Join us for a day of family fun and an exciting lineup of cars and motorcycles alongside entertainment, pedal cars, remote controlled cars, a bouncy castle and more.

The Vancouver Island Motor Gathering is Aug. 17 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Viscount Aero Centre, 9800 McDonald Park Rd. in Sidney. Visit motorgathering.com to learn more and register.

Pre-registration closes on August 13 at 5 p.m. Cost is $25 for vehicle entry, $2 for spectators.

OUR VIEW

BCTF will be pushed to settle

The provincial government is quite predictably getting some flak from the B.C. Teachers Federation and the NDP over a plan to pay parents of children (up to 12) $40 per day for each school day missed in September – if the BCTF strike is not settled by then.

While the move is certainly political, it does recognize the fact that parents are hit hard by the teachers’ strike, through extra daycare and other costs.

The government saves a boatload of money – $12 million a day – as a result of the strike. It is not unreasonable to share some of those savings with those who are paying extra money in day-to-day expenses, as a result of this strike.

It also should serve as a reminder to BCTF members that there will be no paycheques in September if the strike isn’t settled by then.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong is right that it would do little good to legislate teachers back to work. That tactic has been used far too often in the past. There needs to be an actual agreement between the two sides, for their own good and for the good of students and parents.

The bargaining system involving the two is in terrible shape, but hard negotiations could result in an agreement — if there is some genuine willingness on the part of both sides to do so.

Teachers who are caught up in this dispute will have to carefully consider their actions over the next month or so. Many are already feeling the financial squeeze. Several weeks out of work in September will really hurt, particularly as they are not getting strike pay. Will they put pressure on the union to try and settle?

The government holds almost all the cards. It will face no political pressure of any consequence, with an election three years away. Settlements with other unions will eventually force the BCTF to toe the line. The question is, how long will it take?

And will kids pay the price again by losing instruction time this fall?

The B.C. government’s intentions for the Agricultural Land Reserve have been clarified by a public consultation that proposes new commercial and industrial uses on farmland.

Political watchers may recall that this was the hill the NDP was prepared to die on this spring. It was going to be a farmland looting spree for right-wing property developers and all hope of “food security” would be dashed.

As I attempted to explain at the time, the changes have little or nothing to do with ALR exclusions. Now a discussion paper poses a series of questions, some of which illustrate the need to bring farmland regulations up to date.

The first one deals with restrictions on retail sales, a case study in arbitrary state control. There is a strict maximum floor space. A minimum one half of retail sales must be produced on that farm. Food packing, preparation and processing are similarly restricted.

This requires multiple duplicate operations of questionable viability. It brings to mind Mao Tse Tung’s Great Leap Forward, where farmers all had little iron smelting furnaces out back to make tools. But I digress.

“Amongst other things,” the discussion paper says, “lessening

the restrictions on on-farm processing could allow the establishment of abbatoirs (large, small or mobile) on farms, to serve surrounding cattle, game or poultry farms.” Then there’s cheese, fruit juice and even medical marijuana

products.And did you know that

wineries and cideries are allowed on farmland but breweries, distilleries and meaderies aren’t? (Mead is made from honey, and doesn’t have to be drunk from a bronze mug while wearing a horned helmet.)

Now that we’ve discovered that breweries don’t have to be giant urban industrial plants

producing mediocre lager that all tastes the same, possibilities abound.

On-farm wine and cider sales have similarly quaint retail space and product origin restrictions. The government proposes to allow sales of products not made on site, as long as they’re made in B.C.

This could make more local retail beverage co-ops viable. Or it could spawn a wave of unregulated rural liquor stores that create chaos on country roads. You decide.

On a more serious note, there are a couple of questions about changes to the newly created “zone two,” the Interior, Kootenay and North regions. One repeats the government’s intention to open up

non-farm use rules to allow certain oil and gas service functions on farmland. This is to reflect the reality already on the ground in the Northeast. What other non-farm activities it may entail is not yet known, as the consultation and regional meetings continue until Aug. 22.

There are proposals to bypass the Agricultural Land Commission for certain kinds of farmland subdivision in zone two. These are where the subdivided parcels are a quarter section (160 acres) or bigger, or where they are divided by a road or waterway.

And finally there are proposed exemptions from ALC scrutiny of leases, to allow “intergenerational transfer,” so retiring farmers don’t have to plead for state permission to remain on their own property. Another exemption would “encourage the use of otherwise unfarmed land by existing or new farmers.”

NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham, who circulated a photo of herself with a samurai sword in a theatrical “Kill Bill 24” campaign, continues to insist that these changes open up 90 per cent of ALR land for “development.”

It’s a hypocritical as well as a misleading statement, since a portion of her own Saanich farm property is rented to a successful craft gin distillery.

OPINION

Const. Eric LeQuesneVictoria Police

It’s 5 a.m. and I have been woken up by my partner crying. If this were different circumstances it would be cause for alarm. However, this is my perfect reality.

My partner is crying because he needs to go outside to relieve himself. No, I didn’t fall asleep on a night shift to be awoken by human crying. This is the oh so familiar sound of a German shepherd whining. This is a day off of work for me, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I am a canine (K9) handler with the Victoria Police Department.

My partner, Police Service Dog (PSD) Diesel, has been with my family and me since I picked him up from Victoria International Airport in July 2013.

I will never forget that day. I worked a night shift the previous evening and I couldn’t sleep at all when I got home due to the anticipation of meeting my new partner.

I could hear Diesel barking as they were rolling his kennel off the airplane and into the baggage area. It was the first time I heard him bark, and I was a proud new parent. I wanted to tell anyone I could find, “Hey, that’s my dog!” although I believe people were more annoyed with the barking dog in the

airport, so I kept my joy inside.

As he came off the plane and we got him out of his kennel, I didn’t know what to do. Should I pet him? Can I look at him? Will he bite me? Ultimately, I chose option number 1.

The bond between Diesel and I formed slowly. The first few weeks and months seemed like I was just a guy with a dog, which, in reality, I was. I was not yet a K9 handler. I could hold his leash, I could provide him the basics of life: food, water, bathroom breaks, companionship and exercise, but to say I knew what I was doing would be a lie.

I would walk Diesel, go to a quiet park and lay with him, in hopes that he would show some interest in me, and start to understand that we were in this together. When that bond started to solidify, my world changed.

I understand that being a police officer is not for everyone. I also understand that being a K9 officer is not for everyone, but the bond that forms between a handler and the dog is one that cannot be understood until you have truly experienced it.

Diesel and I have made it through the four-month basic course for K9 handlers and have been on the road in the City of Victoria and the Township of Esquimalt since Jan. 1. It has easily

been the best months of my policing career, and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for us.

The bond is there between him and me, and I know that if I ever got in a tough situation Diesel would be there to protect me and to help me without hesitation.

After one year of

Diesel living with my family and I, and seven months working together on the streets, I have become closer to him than I could have possibly imagined.

Yes, at times, my partner can get a little smelly. Yes, I am responsible for feeding him and picking up after his bathroom breaks and yes, I have

to groom him and cut his nails, but I get to go to work with, and spend 10 hours a day with my best friend.

After a full day of work, he comes home with me and lives with my family. What an amazing job.

Members and veterans of the navy unveiled the rededication of the submarine memorial cairn at Dockyard last Thursday in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of submarine service in Canada.

The cairn was first installed in 1984.On Aug. 5, 1914, the B.C. government purchased

two submarines from a Seattle shipyard, the CC 1 and CC 2, to counter the threat of a squadron of German navy warships reported on the coast.

Since the First World War, the navy has com-missioned 15 submarines, with the First Cana-

dian Submarine Squadron formed in 1965 to track Soviet submarines and collect intelligence during the Cold War.

Recently, Canadian submariners have provided support in counter-terrorism operations as well as in RCMP anti-narcotic operations in the Carib-bean.

Donald Brown, who earned the rank of chief petty officer, second class before retiring, was cho-sen to place a new time capsule in the cairn.

Brown said that as he placed the time capsule, his mind travelled to the crew he served with on HMCS Rainbow.

“Every submariner was working harder than anybody on the surface,” Brown said.

“There was no limit to what you could do down there, and you knew that your work would be appreciated.”

The submarine centenary was also marked by the opening of a new submarine exhibit at CFB Esquimalt Naval and Military Museum last Friday.

Funds raised support the Kidney Foundation

Devon MacKenzieNews staff

Get ready to walk and run for a good cause; the Victoria Kid-ney Walk takes place this week-end at Clover Point.

The event kicks off at 10 a.m. Sunday (Aug. 17).

Funds raised go to the Kidney Foundation of Canada.

Participants can choose between three events, a 2.5-kilo-metre walk, a five-kilometre fun run or a five-kilometre timed run sponsored by the Running Room.

“The walk and the fun run are both free to participate in and are a way for us to get people out to support the foun-dation and raise awareness,” said Jamie Boittiaux, one of the

event’s organizers.For the timed run, partici-

pants are asked to pre-register ($35) online at victoriakidney-walk.ca. Race day registration is $40.

“Last year we had around 100 people come out and partici-pate so we’re hoping to surpass that this year,” said Boittiaux, who is also a kidney patient and well aware of the benefits of the Kidney Foundation of Canada.

“I only became more involved with the foundation in the last couple of years,” she explained.

“I’ve had three kidney surger-ies and a kidney removed and afterwards I felt so alone. When I got involved with the Victo-ria chapter of the foundation I found that I wasn’t alone at all. My hope is that all people who are newly diagnosed with kid-ney problems will know they have somewhere to turn and the Victoria Kidney Walk helps with that.”

The funds raised through the walks, which happen all over B.C. and Canada this month and

next, go to the Kidney Founda-tion which supports people like Boittiaux and the Wallace family from North Saanich.

Coen Wallace, now four-years-old, lives with his mother, Tanis, father, Chris and brother Lay-ton. He was born with diseased kidneys and spent the first two years of his life hooked up to a dialysis machine.

Fortunately for the family, in November 2012 after working with the Kidney Foundation, they found a donor match for Coen. He received a new kidney in February 2013 and is now happier and healthier than ever.

According to the Kidney Foundation, one out of every 10 British Columbians suffer from chronic kidney disease. In the past 10 years there is an inexpli-cable increase of 60 percent and with no cure, there is a pressing need to raise money for kidney disease research and patient care.

Canadian Forces members, politicians and cadet units remem-bered Canada’s fallen peacekeepers on Satur-day.

The 22nd annual Peacekeepers Memorial Day service was held at the downtown cenotaph to honour members of the Canadian Forces who have died during peace operations.

The ceremony recalled the deaths of nine Canadians killed when a missile hit their aircraft over the Golan Heights on Aug. 9, 1974.

Forty years later, the tragedy continues to represent the most Canadian lives lost in a single incident as part of a military peace opera-tion since the Korean War.

Guest speaker at the Victoria ceremony was former Victoria Police Department officer Rick Anthony who took part in a UN peacekeeping operation in Kosovo in 2001.

Forty years later, the tragedy continues to represent the most Canadian lives lost in a single incident as part of a military peace opera-tion since the Korean War.

Guest speaker at the Victoria ceremony was former Victoria Police Department officer Rick Anthony who took part in a UN peacekeeping operation in Kosovo in 2001.

While water shortages will not be a problem for residents connected to the CRD water system, homes using well water, particularly West Saanich and Gulf Island residents, may have “significant issues” regarding water.

Orr said that water usage has been reduced significantly over the past 15 years thanks to many residents installing water-efficient toilets and shower-heads.

While the dry weather may not have much effect on water usage, the potential for fires is still high.

The Esquimalt Fire Department is reminding residents to keep their yards maintained, and keep them clear of shrubs and debris, which are often the source of grass fires. If bark mulch is being used in a garden, keep it watered regularly.

“Be vigilant, if you see smoke, call us right away,” assistant fire chief Gib Small said. “We’ve been lucky this year, we’ve gotten calls quickly, before they’ve gotten out of control.”

Fire department urges vigilance

ICBC is preparing to mail out 309,000 refund cheques rang-ing from $1 to $350 to optional auto insurance customers it over-charged since 2008.

Wrong rates were used because of incorrect descriptions assigned years ago to many vehicles that are only now being fixed.

The average customer who overpaid all six years will get a refund of around $108, ICBC spokesman Adam Grossman said.

The cheques will begin to go out around Aug. 20.

The average overpayment was $18 per year.

The refunds plus interest being paid total nearly $38 million.

Nearly 370,000 other motorists were undercharged because of the glitches.

ICBC won’t go after them for the $53 million in lost revenue.

The faulty vehicle descriptions affected only optional insurance,

not basic rates.The refunds were calculated as

part of two independent external reviews that checked millions of insurance transactions over the past six years.

Auditors who examined ICBC’s handling of the issue concluded ICBC knew the problem was sys-temic as early as 2009 but manage-ment hid it from ICBC’s board of directors until mid-2013.

Various fixes were contem-

plated but discarded, according to the auditors’ report.

ICBC managers feared a solu-tion might harm its relationship with brokers and that disclosure of inaccurate pricing would hurt ICBC’s business position against optional insurance competitors.

The corporation ultimately opted to fix the errors and issue refunds as part of its sweeping $400-million technology upgrade program.

The long-running overcharges were finally made public in April by Transportation Minister Todd Stone – only after he was directly questioned by the media.

ICBC’s board had intended to wait until it had a refund strategy ready to roll out.

Customers renewing their auto insurance since July have been required to update their vehicle’s descriptions, Grossman said.
