Residential school survivors tell their truths Roszan Holmen News staff
Up to 3,000 people are expected to participate in a Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada event at the Victoria Conference Centre beginning today (April 13). The public can attend the two-day event, which is mandated, in part, to inform Canadians about what happened during the nearly 150-year history of residential schools. This understanding aims to guide and inspire a process of reconciliation and renewed relationship, according to the terms of the commission. Since Feb. 27, the national commission has been working its way down Vancouver Island, holding smaller hear1880s: Federal ings in Port Hardy, Campgovernment formally bell River, Port Alberni and embraces residential Cowichan. school model for In the days leading up to aboriginal education the larger regional event in 1996: Last residential Victoria, aboriginal groups school closes were preparing to support 150,000: The number their members emotionally of First Nations, Métis through the process. and Inuit children “The impact of those placed in residential schools is felt today,” said schools Bruce Parisian, executive 80,000: Former director of the Victoria students living today Native Friendship Centre. “Many people who come to programs and services in this organization know about it and are prepared to go and tell their stories. People have to get those stories out so they can move on with life and let the healing process continue.” The event is also an opportunity to document what’s happened across the country, he said. The commission was established with a $60-million budget. It is one part of the 2007 Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement, which resulted from a class-action lawsuit launched by former residential school students. Students, their families and people who taught at the schools are invited to share their experiences this weekend in Victoria. For more details or to register, visit www.trc.ca.

Sidney Scammell, a 14-year-old boy working part-time as a fruiterer delivering fresh produce to the Titanic, takes leave of the ship via rope before she departs for New York.
Titanic anniversary Sunday One hundred years ago this Sunday (April 15) the purportedly unsinkable ocean liner Titanic struck an iceberg 600 kilometres off the coast of Newfoundland while on its way to New York, taking more than 1,500 lives with it. Before setting sail for the Big Apple, the Titanic stopped in Southampton, England. Sidney Scammell, pictured above in a family photograph, was a 14-year-old boy working part-time as a fruiterer, delivering fresh produce to the Titanic before it left.
Scammell family history says Sidney, father of Victoria resident Jim Scammell, was down in the hold counting boxes of bananas when it was announced, “All ashore that’s going ashore.” Sidney scampered up the eight flights to the main deck, only to discover that the gangplank had been drawn in. His only hope of getting off the Titanic was to lower himself on a rope to a smaller boat waiting below. Once safely on shore, Sidney watched as the Titanic sailed off into history.

Markus, 8, and his grandmother, Cindy Swoveland, discuss the benefits of soil during a schoolyard garden building day at Willows Elementary. Willows is one of five schools in Greater Victoria to win a garden from the Growing Schools initiative by LifeCycles and the Capital Regional District.
Farming the schoolyard Four local schools win vegetable gardens Brittany Lee News staff
Students at Willows Elementary School got their hands dirty at the school’s garden building day April 4. As one of four elementary schools in Greater Victoria to win a schoolyard garden through LifeCycles’ Growing Schools project, students at Willows spent part of their day talking about gardening, having a relay race to fill four garden beds with soil, and planting seeds. The garden building day allows as many kids as possible help build the schoolyard garden and make them feel connected to the project, Jeanette Sheehy, Growing Schools co-ordinator, said. A group of about 20 Grade 3 and 4 students dug their hands into the dirt as volunteers from LifeCycles talked about the soil. The kids then raced to dump buckets of soil into the beds. Teacher Katy Connelly said her students’ excitement comes from their complete involvement in the process. “Not only did they get to choose some of the

Cellphone and driving earns fines Vivian Moreau News staff
Talking on his cellphone while driving when he wasn’t supposed to be doing either, resulted in a Saanich man’s car being impounded. After seeing the driver, 39, talking on his cellphone Oak Bay police pulled him over in the early afternoon on April 8 in the 1900-block of Foul Bay Rd. It was then discovered that the motorist did not have a
driver’s licence. His vehicle, a white GMC pickup, was impounded for seven days. The driver was given a promise to appear for driving while prohibited. As part of an ICBC road safety campaign, police have been staked out at Oak Bay intersections in April watching for drivers using cellphones. Fines of $167 can be issued for using a cellphone for calls, texting or emailing while behind the wheel.
In the same Foul Bay block a motorist was pulled over for failing to yield just before midnight on April 3. Officers noted the driver smelled of marijuana and when questioned, the driver fessed up that he’d just lit up before being stopped. The driver, 18, was issued a 24-hour prohibition notice, his drivers licence was seized and his 1998 Mercury Sable was towed. vmoreau@oakbaynews.com

A one-time human papillomavirus vaccine program is now being offered to women in B.C. born in 1991, 1992 and 1993. “We have been offering the high school-based HPV vaccination program since 2008, which has helped to protect thousands of British Columbian girls from cervical cancer,� said provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall. “I am pleased that with this program we can expand that to ensure that all young British Columbian women aged 21 and under will have had an opportunity to protect themselves.� HPV infections are the
cause of almost all cases of cervical cancer. It’s estimated the vaccine can prevent up to 70 per cent of these cancers, as well as a number of pre-cancerous changes to the cervix that require treatment. The vaccine will be available to eligible women starting mid-April through pharmacists, physicians, sexual health and youth clinics, public health units and post-secondary health services. It is administered in three doses over a six-month period. For more information visit www.immunizebc.ca. rholmen@vicnews.com

Mystery lurks in Cadboro Bay Much still to find for explorers of local shipwrecks
All of Victoria’s breaking news online at vicnews.com oakbaynews.com saanichnews.com
Natalie North News staff
In the afternoon of July 28, 1885, the Enterprise, a sidewheel paddle steamer carrying freight, livestock and passengers from New Westminster to Victoria, collided with another steamboat near Ten Mile Point. Passengers and crew on the Enterprise panicked and jumped overboard to save themselves when the vessel’s lifeboats weren’t deployed. The two people who died were believed to have locked themselves in a cabin to save the large sums of money they held. A third steamer towed the Enterprise into Cadboro Bay, where it was visible in shallow waters until the early 1900s. Jacques Marc, explorations director of the Underwater Archaeological Society of British Columbia, began piecing together the tale of the Enterprise in 1987. Its existence is well-documented in historical records, but the wreck itself is yet to be found. “The Enterprise is a mystery,” said Marc, noting the society’s ongoing efforts to locate the wreck over the years. “I’ve gone out and dug holes in Cadboro Bay. …We’ve searched for it numerous times and side scanned and found nothing – but it’s there. We’ve got pictures of it sitting about 100 yards off shore.” In two searches, items were found but they were determined to be remnants of wharfs. Yet the existence of coal, the boat’s fuel source, scattered near the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, suggest the

The lost Enterprise ■ In 1862, the roughly 43-metre-long steamboat was authorized to carry 16 crew and 150 passengers, yet typically carried a load of 250 passengers, 60 tons of freight, nine cattle and 23 pack animals between Victoria and New Westminster
Enterprise isn’t far away. “So far it’s eluded us and I don’t quite know why,” Marc said. Disruption of the site by log booms and deterioration are two possible explanations for why the wreck has yet to be located. Adding to the difficulty, the engines were salvaged, so crews are no longer able to search for some of the bigger objects, including using modern methods, such as sonar, explained Marc.
Foot pain?
“What we’re looking for is a scattering of small artefacts in a pretty big bay.” The Enterprise is one of about 200 large vessel shipwrecks – both located sites and those which continue to elude local explorers – off the coast of Vancouver Island. On April 25, Marc will take part in the Maritime Museum of B.C.’s What Lies Beneath lecture series. The veteran diver will present an overview of local shipwrecks and the modern technologies used to locate them during Discovering the Underwater Heritage of British Columbia at the museum, located in Bastion Square. Tickets are available at the door for the 6:30 p.m. talk, which costs $12 (or $10 for seniors and students). The event is free for museum members and children under 12. nnorth@saanichnews.com

There is a cost to restoring dignity It’s sure to be a solemn time for many of the thousands taking part in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission today and tomorrow in Victoria. The trauma inflicted by the 150-year legacy of Indian residential schools has shaped Canadian society as we know it. First Nations continue to have an uneasy relationship with the country they are born into. That won’t change after this weekend, or even once the commission finishes hearing from the 150,000 or so people expected to tell their stories across the country. We might ask if it’s worth the pain to reopen old wounds and whether we’d all be better off by simply forgetting what happened. In the 21st century it seems beyond the pale for people to treat each other the way earlier generations did. We are a society that prides itself on our tolerance, but the fact is, we are not that far removed from our past. The idea of forcing hegemony was a popular notion among many Canadians throughout our history. Almost every ethnic group that was somehow alien to the mainstream has stories of attempted assimilation. In almost every case the process was a profound failure. But it is the residential schools – their thoroughness and persistence – that has left the largest legacy of damage to a population that really should be at the core of who we are as a nation. We can argue that many First Nations children benefited by the educational opportunities that our government and churches provided. They were given a chance at an industrial quality of life that their culture often eschewed. As many as 3,000 people are expected to add their voices to the commission at the Victoria Conference Centre. Some will recall the kindness of teachers and others who really believed they were doing what was best for the children in their care. Others will reveal a depth of evil that provokes emotions that should be harder to stir from events that happened so long ago. Canadians owe it to ourselves to at least listen to these stories. We need to remember what happened but doing so, in itself, won’t make things right. It’s time to open ourselves to doing what will correct our past mistakes. We need to celebrate cultures that our authorities once tried to destroy. And we need to be willing to put our money where our mouth is, whether that’s in treaty negotiations or respecting the rights of First Nations to have a stronger say on how their traditional lands are used.

A luxury cruise ship’s recreation of the Titanic’s intended voyage, complete with staff donning period costumes and menus featuring original Titanic fare, has also made headlines. I understand our obsession with the tragedy and why Cameron has parlayed his role as a director into that of an underwater explorer. (Last month Cameron tweeted from a submersible at the Earth’s deepest point, the bottom of Mariana Trench.) But you don’t need to plunge 11 kilometres below the surface to make your own discoveries. For anyone whose idea of underwater exploration is limited to visiting the Royal B.C. Museum’s former narrated elevator submarine experience as a child (R.I.P.

The damage and deprivation to marine and terrestrial wildlife from catastrophic oil spills have already been extensive. For example, the effects of the Exxon Valdez disaster 23 years ago on wildlife populations in Alaska’s Prince William Sound have been widespread and long lasting. Although no oiled carcasses were recovered, two different populations of killer whales, both in Prince William Sound at the time of the spill, experienced dramatic declines. The fish-eating AB resident pod of killer whales lost 14 of 36 members following the spill. A second population, the AT1 mammal-eating transients, was seen surfacing in the oil near the Exxon Valdez. Since then, the group has not successfully reproduced. Most likely, this unique killer whale population will go extinct. Transforming the B.C. coast into an “energy corridor” poses multiple threats to cetacean populations, through prospective spills to underwater noise to the ship strikes associated with the
transport of oil and condensate. Humpback whale recovery could be put in jeopardy with the approval of Northern Gateway; humpbacks can often be found bubble-net feeding at the entrance of the proposed Douglas Channel tanker route. B.C.’s threatened population of northern resident killer whales, and the slowly increasing population of endangered fin whales, would also be put directly in harm’s way if Northern Gateway proceeds. Whales on the south coast will also be put at risk if the Trans Mountain expansion moves ahead. One example of this risk is the overlay of the tanker route onto large sections of the critical habitat for the endangered southern resident killer whales that reside in the transnational waters of B.C. and Washington state. This population faces ongoing multiple threats, including declining salmon stocks, physical and acoustic disturbance, and toxic contamination.
The southern residents are a small population hindered by previous loss of individuals that make them vulnerable to chance circumstances. Dropping birth rates, increasing death rates or random events like disease, food shortages or oil spills can be irreversible. Increased tanker activity could also potentially affect a geographically distinct crossborder population of grey whales termed the Eastern North Pacific Southern Group, which are currently listed under Canada’s Species at Risk Act. Why is there little concern about the pain, fear, suffering and even death that wildlife will endure if the Northern Gateway and Trans Mountain pipelines projects are approved? The short answer is that industrial society places a higher priority on economic growth than on environmental health and the welfare of other species. Chris Genovali is executive director of Raincoast Conservation Foundation.
LETTERS Believing in theory of evolution requires faith Re: Religious right’s rejection of science is baffling (Opinion, March 30) Dr. Suzuki mentions a law in Tennessee allowing teachers to critically examine the theory of evolution. This he considers “anti-science.” I suppose I am a member of the religious right, since I have examined the theory of evolution and rejected it. But I am not anti-science. In fact, I looked to science when examining the question. Many people accept the theory of evolution as a scientific explanation of the origin of life and species. But by definition, science is the study of that which can be demonstrated by experiment – that which is measurable, observable, provable, repeatable. There can, therefore, be no scientific statement concerning origins. Origins happen once only. The question of origins is necessarily outside science and gets into the realm of – dare I say it – religion, or faith. Of course there is a place for science, for both evolutionists and creationists. But science cannot speak to origins. At best it produces evidences or counterevidences. To believe that life originated by time and chance is a matter of faith, not science. And to believe that fish turned into birds and monkeys and men, despite the lack of evidence, takes faith. Others put faith in an intelligent creator who designed
and sustains life and made each species in its own kind. The bible says “through faith we understand that the world was ordained by the word of God, and that things which are seen were made of things which are not seen.” It is a question of faith. If what I say is true, then evolutionary theory should not be touted as science. Furthermore, people who reject it are not rejecting science. Let’s not condemn creationists as “irrational” or “anti-science.” The Tennessee schoolchildren are fortunate to be able to study evidence advanced by both sides. Ruth Magnusson Victoria
Wallace Drive conditions dangerous for travellers I feel compelled to bring to your attention the increasingly dangerous driving conditions on Wallace Drive between Willis Point Road (Saanich) and Newton Place at Bayside middle school (Central Saanich). I have been driving and walking this stretch of road for 25 years, and the type and volume of traffic has changed significantly during this period. Where once it catered to primarily local vehicle traffic with the odd bicycle, pedestrian or tourist, there are now numerous cyclists riding two and three abreast, tourists in all sorts of vehicles including RV’s, tour buses, commercial vehicles and many more pedestrians. Besides dealing with cyclists riding in contravention of the Motor Vehicle Act, and
oversized vehicles too wide for the road conditions, more and more vehicle drivers who are inexperienced with the area are being directed by their navigation systems to use this stretch of road, particularly between Willis Point Road and Benvenuto Avenue, to access Butchart Gardens. Personally, I have avoided four head-on collisions on this stretch of road in the past two months, as drivers have pulled onto my side of the road to pass cyclists. Two of these incidents happened to me in one day and were separated by a matter of minutes. Fortunately, I have good brakes and tires on my cars that help me to slow down quickly, as there is no room on this road to perform an evasive manoeuvre. True, some vehicle drivers must be more cautious, but you know as well as I do that you cannot teach some people to change their poor driving habits until they have done or caused something disastrous. I respectfully implore both Saanich and Central Saanich councils to join together in improving this road with a better surface and bicycle/pedestrian lanes, and enforce both cycling and vehicle restrictions, including speed limits, before someone is injured or killed.

Rioters will face little punishment Re: Teams and fans seek redemption (Column, April 6)
It’s now just about one year since the Vancouver Stanley Cup riot took place and, lo and behold, all’s quiet on the Western front. After all, in contrast to the swift justice dealt those London rioters, here in B.C. we take things a little more slowly, secure in the knowledge that our own Stanley Cup rioters and looters will ultimately be dealt with by the firm hand of our justice system, meting out our very own unique action brand of Canadian justice. No doubt, Canada’s all-purpose Charter of Rights and Freedoms will come to the “rescue” of all those who, in response to being charged with criminal conduct during their post-playoff love-in, will argue that their Charter rights to free expression were violated. Surely, that’s the Canadian way, assuring that none of the looters and arsonists will see the inside of a jail cell, but instead will have to face the consequences of their actions. They’ll be subjected to the “full” force of Canada’s tough judicial system by being made to endure the indignity of house arrest and the severe punishment of conditionally suspended sentences. Indeed, can a class action suit against the City of Vancouver be far behind, on behalf of all rioters whose pictures were taken without their explicit “consent,” in clear violation of their Charter Rights to personal “privacy?” Their contrived public “mea culpas” notwithstanding, somehow the rioters will manage to emerge unscathed as the true
“victims” of Vancouver’s 2011 post-game riot, ready to go on a rampage again, seeking their own kind of “redemption.” E.W. Bopp Tsawwassen
Student column offers good advice Re: “There’s no quick fix for capital confusion” (Opinion, April 6) Thank you for Heather Snider’s guest column.

Scots’ day at church Annual blessing of the tartan set for Sunday Natalie North News staff
Centuries ago, when the people of Scotland were under English rule and forbidden to wear their family tartans, Scots would find a way to honour their heritage in church – or so the legend goes. “The Scots took a little piece (of their family tartan) to church with them on a Sunday in a deep, innermost pocket and it was blessed in secret,” said Irene Feir, secretary of the Victoria Joint Scottish Council. “I think a lot of people just say: ‘That’s bunk,’ but it’s a legend that’s been around a long time.” The Victoria Joint Scottish Council has upheld the tradition of blessing the tartan for some 20 years and will continue to mark the occasion this Sunday (April 15) at St. Aidan’s United Church. The blessing – or “kirking” of the tartan, depending on one’s level of familiarity in Scottish dialect – is open to all and will feature piper Walter Muir and words from Rev. Michael Caveney. Tartan Day is officially April 6 in honour of the day in 1320 when Scotland gained independence. In Victoria, the council hosts Kirkin’ ’o the Tartan as close as possible to the 6th without interfering with Easter services. Wear a tartan and celebrate Scottish culture, starting at 10 a.m. at St. Aidan’s United Church, 3703 St. Aidan’s St., Saanich. Refreshments will be served after the service.

Victorian-era revellers set to invade Empress Hotel Matt Whelan News contributor
Polish your brass-rimmed, leather-lined goggles, ready your steam-powered airships, and make a note of this on your teakpanelled iPad: the third annual Victoria Steam Exhibition arrives April 20. So what, in the name of Queen Victoria, is steampunk? “It’s early industrialism’s vision of itself in the future,” said event impresario Jordan Stratford. “The appeal of steampunk is its absurdity. There’s no way you could take all this stuff seriously.” The festival will offer a more contemporary breed of Victorian the opportunity to immerse themselves in this antediluvian subculture. A conglomeration of jewelers, tinkerers, milliners, artisans, anachronists, leather, metal and glass workers will be on hand for a celebration of steampunk art and culture. It’ll be an interactive affair, with about half of attendees milling around in top hats, lace corsets and doilied glove cuffs, while sporting jetpacks, ray guns and
other items of Jules Verne-inspired technology. On Friday night, an absinthe tasting will be held at Victoria’s esteemed Union Club, a building that dates back to times when today’s steampunk art works would have resembled the prototypical tools and technologies of the day. Local historian Chris Adams, who runs the popular Discover the Past Ghost Tours around Victoria, will be giving a lecture on the history, culture and appreciation of absinthe, while guests enjoy flights of the fabled spirit. A tour of the clubhouse’s grandiose 1884 architecture will follow. Over the weekend, carousers can emerge from their anise-induced hazes at the Empress Hotel while taking in talks, presentations and book signings by such steampunk somebodies as Ann Vandermeer, Jeff Vandermeer, Kristina Erickson and Robert Brown. Jeff Vandermeer wrote the book – quite literally – on steampunk (The Steampunk Bible: An Illustrated Guide to the World of Imaginary Airships, Corsets and Goggles, Mad Scientists, and Strange Literature,) while Erickson and Brown

ings, along with continuous panel discussions on costuming, history and prop making. This year’s featured guest is Victoria’s own Ian Finch Field, whose leather and metal work has been
featured in the steamwork-staple publication 1000 Steampunk Creations as well as the video for Justin Bieber’s Santa Claus Is Coming to Town music video. “Ian is a great example of a local boy done good,” said Stratford. Saturday night brings the boisterous brass-band antics of Bucan Bucan, the banjo-and-beat-boxbased blues of Tarran the Tailor and the caricatural titillations of Cherry Poppins to the Steampunk Cabaret Burlesque, also to be held at the Empress. Bene! Superlative! Top! How much? A $50 weekend pass will allow steampunk enthusiasts and newcomers alike access to all events at the Empress Hotel while an additional $50 will get you into the absinthe tasting and lecture at the Union Club on Friday night. About 400 zeppelin pilots, mad scientists, lushes and vaudevillians are expected to attend. “Steampunk exists to provoke, entertain, amuse and inspire,” said Stratford. “It’ll be a maelstrom, a hell of a lot of fun.” For tickets and information go to www.victoriasteamexpo.com.

ing and we want to make it a community hockey club.” “(Gervais) has a great connection (to the) junior A level,” Gronnestad said. “We want to give these kids a place to play, we don’t want to hold them back. We are here as a stepping stone for them.”
Charla Huber News staff
Junior B hockey will return to Bear Mountain Arena next season with the expansion Westshore Wolves franchise. Team owners Ken Carson, Dave Horner, Kory Gronnestad and Derrick Hamilton are behind the effort to bring junior B back to the West Shore after the downtrodden Westshore Stingers disbanded from the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League in late 2010. Six players have been signed to the Wolves, five of whom reside on the West Shore. The owners agree that the point of starting this team is to get West Shore teenagers playing competative hockey at home. “That’s what we did,” Hamilton remarked. “All of us played for the Juan de Fuca Gulls.” “It was a gong show – back then it was called jungle B,” Horner joked. All four grew up playing Juan de Fuca minor hockey and both Horner and Hamilton went on to play for the Gulls. Hamilton remembers home games bringing the community together with the arena full of friends and family, something he hopes to see for the Wolves. It might be unrealistic, however, to expect full crowds at the Wolves giant new home, the 2,781 seat Bear Mountain Arena. But it’s a coup for the team nonetheless, sharing the city’s best rink with the B.C. Hockey League’s Victoria Grizzlies. Home games will be Wednesday nights at 7 p.m., a friendlier time slot than the Stingers’ previous Monday night games, which didn’t start

Wolves in a bear cave When deciding on a team name, the group of West Shore businessmen were hoping to find something that started with a “W” and “Wolves” seemed a good fit. Initially the men thought of naming the team the Bruins, to pair with the Grizzlies theme, but figured it might not sit well with (local) Canucks fans, stemming from last year’s notorious Stanley Cup finals against Boston. “We didn’t want Canucks fans hating us,” Gronnestad said.

Victoria skaters keyed up for NHL Entry Draft Travis Paterson News staff
The NHL likes players who can score. That wasn’t a problem for Victoria Royals rookie Logan Nelson this season. What took awhile for Logan to reveal, however, was the physical element in his game. That, and his consistent offence caught the NHL’s Central Scouting bureau’s eye as Nelson jumped to 73rd overall from 108th among North American skaters eligible for the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. Nelson finished fifth in league scoring among rookies with 62 points in 71 games (23 goals, 39 assists). But it was his physical game that stood out, especially in the playoff series against the Kamloops Blazers. Nelson showed the natural timing necessary to throw a punishing but legal check. Things aren’t as rosy for teammate Steven Hodges, however, as he dropped from 55th to 85th. The draft rankings also listed six BCHL skaters. Fourth among them is Wade Murphy of Saanich, who split his season between the Victoria Grizzlies and Penticton Vees. Murphy scored the overtime winner on Tuesday

Road trip tips: The serious side of fun vehicles. RVs. More to love, more to protect. The equipment and contents of your motor home are not included in the declared value of the vehicle. Collision, Comprehensive, and Specified Perils coverage takes care of physical damage to the vehicle as well as contents (up to a certain limit). Additional optional coverage should include emergency vacation coverage, additional contents coverage and insurance on permanent s t r u c t u r e s related to your INSURANCE r e c r e a t i o n a l OUTLOOK vehicle.
Garage and storage doors are rolling open across the province as the warming weather brings out our seasonal vehicles, or motorbikes and RVs. But before you hit the road, you need to make sure your paperwork is in order and your recreational vehicles, loved ones and belongings are protected. Here are some tips on making sure you have fun with complete peaceof-mind.
Get coverage. RVs and motorbikes are not insured like regular passenger AUTO vehicles. You’ll INSURANCE need to determine WITH the worth and MARCI-LYN insure them BRAITHWAITE accordingly. For seasonal vehicles, the declared value becomes the policy limit and the premium is based on this value.  It's important to reconsider the value every year:  Is the vehicle worth more because of modifications, or worth less due to depreciation and additional wear and tear?  Discuss this with a BCAA Insurance Advisor when you purchase or renew your policy. Get it right the first time. The right coverage is critical. A basic ICBC policy does not provide coverage for physical damage or higher limits of liability. You may want to consider purchasing Collision, and Comprehensive coverage to ensure that your seasonal vehicles have physical damage coverage. Â
Cover the map. While your RV or motorbike coverage is valid in Canada and the continental U.S., you need to arrange separate coverage if you’re driving it to Mexico. Be sure to plan in advance. Cover your options. It's also advantageous to buy a policy that spans the whole year, so that at the end of the season, you don't need to buy special storage insurance for your RV or motorbike. Purchase adequate insurance and roadside assistance for your seasonal vehicle before you set off on your road trip. The insurance specialists at BCAA will give you peace-of-mind by ensuring you get the right coverage to suit your needs. Marci-Lyn Braithwaite is an Insurance Advisor at BCAA. She can be reached at marci-lyn.braithwaite@bcaa.com.

Campbell River man runs the Island Victoria-based mentoring program seeks runners, mentors Natalie North News staff

Terry Kratzmann is running the length of Vancouver Island in support of the KidStart mentoring program.
Campbell River man is spending the month of April running the length of Vancouver Island for atrisk youth. Sixty-five-year-old Terry Kratzmann set off April 11 on his 600-kilometre, tip-to-tip journey from Cape Scott Provincial Park to Mile Zero in Victoria. The run is in support of KidStart – a program administered by the John Howard Society that connects vulnerable kids with positive adult mentors in three locations across the Island, including in Greater Victoria. Kratzmann said he spent three years as a mentor, showing the teen he was matched with a different way of experiencing life. The highlight of Kratzmann’s time with KidStart came when he accompanied his mentee to meet then-

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Scott Rolen. “He just couldn’t believe that he was that important that Scott Rolen would take the time for him,” Kratzmann said. “It was incredible.” His mentee is now too old for the program but he’s remained a good friend. Kratzmann’s run will finish in Victoria on April 28 with a final
five-km loop, open to runners and walkers of all abilities, starting at 9 a.m. at Mile Zero. Proceeds from the Victoria leg, led by local running legend Jim Finlayson, will benefit KidStart Victoria. The Greater Victoria branch has made more than 100 mentor matches with kids aged six to 17 years old since the program began in the region five years

A donation of $125,000 from CIBC last week pushed the Victoria Hospitals Foundation’s Building Care Together campaign pledge total to $11.85 million. The bank’s donation, to be spread over five years, was specifcially targeted at oncology care at the Royal Jubilee Hospital’s new Patient Care Centre. “We are committed to working with organizations to support those living with cancer,” said Nicole Davis, CIBC’s senior manager of community investment for Western Canada. She called the Patient Care Centre a “world-class hospital that allows for the best possible patient outcomes.” To donate or find more details on the campaign, visit www. buildingcare.ca or call 250-519-1750. editor@vicnews.com

B.C. allows alcohol in movie theatres Tom Fletcher Black Press
The B.C. government has created a new liquor licence that allows theatres to serve alcohol during movie showings. Rich Coleman, the cabinet minister responsible for B.C. liquor and gambling policy, says the change will get rid of red tape for theatres that could get a licence to serve alcohol for live events, but couldn't show movies in the same place. The new licence will allow theatres to serve drinks in the lobby, but patrons won’t be able to take drinks to their movie seat unless the room is adults-only. Coleman said unlike the stands at a
Uplands soup lunch helps those in need Everyone needs to be connected to someone else. That can be particularly hard if you have fallen on hard times and burned your familial bridges. Oak Bay resident Shirley Hunter and a dozen other volunteers try to fill that void for a group of residents of an Esquimalt supported housing facility by buying groceries or helping with basic daily tasks. To afford purchases for the residents, Hunter hosts an annual soup lunch at her Uplands home. “The soups are amazing and I can tell you that because I don’t make any of them,” Hunter says with a laugh. Furniture is pushed back to the walls so her Norfolk Road home can accommodate as many as possible for the lunch which includes a variety of soups and breads made by volunteers. Tickets, $50, are not tax deductible but all proceeds from the gathering go toward helping out residents of Pacifica Housing’s Medewiwin Apartment. Medewiwin is a 26-unit independent, supported housing complex for formerly homeless and homeless at risk Victoria residents, in Esquimalt. For tickets and directions or to donate (tax receipt provided for latter) call Hunter at 250-592-8552. vmoreau@oakbaynews.com
Chocolate bar with naval wrapper unveiled The Royal Canadian Navy has a sweet side. During a ceremony held today (Friday) on the deck of HMCS Vancouver, Rogers’ Chocolates Ltd. CEO Larry Sullivan and Rear Admiral Nigel Greenwood, commander of the navy’s Maritime Forces Pacific, unveiled a chocolate bar wrapped in the image of a Halifax-class naval frigate. It’s not the first time the chocolate company has teamed up with the navy. To mark the Royal Canadian Navy’s centennial in 2010, a commemorative tin, depicting HMCS Rainbow, was launched. Similar to the tin project, partial proceeds from sales of the uniquely wrapped chocolate bars will go to CFB Esquimalt’s personnel support program. emccracken@vicnews.com
