New website goes live Oak Bay enhances its online presence with new oakbay.ca site Laura Lavin News staff
Oak Bay has a new presence on the web. Its website, oakbaybc.org, has been replaced with oakbay.ca. “That’s just one of many changes,” said Oak Bay councillor Kevin Murdoch. Murdoch, along with councillor Michelle Kirby, three residents and staff members put their heads together with UpanUp Studios web design to prepare a new website that encompasses many municipal departments. “One of the highlights Kevin Murdoch is that it’s driven from a mobility standpoint,” said Murdoch. All content will be readable on a variety of platforms including smartphones and tablets. “It’s a responsive design,” he said. “It doesn’t cut off any of the information if you’re looking at it from a mobile device.” Along with being more user-friendly, the new website includes Oak Bay Heritage, Parks and Recreation, Oak Bay Police and Fire departments – all of which operated under separate sites previously. “Now we have it all in one website. We’ve taken all the information and centralized it,” Murdoch said. The new site, which launched late Sunday night, also includes a calendar of events to which the public will be able to upload.

Oak Bay High principal Dave Thomson says this generation of students is the most caring and philanthropic that he has ever seen. “I see it every day at Oak Bay, but it’s not just something here, it’s a generational thing,” said Thomson. He feels it’s important to balance the
recent press coverage that has focused negatively on young people in the wake of the highly publicized suicide of Port Coquitlam teen Amanda Todd, whose death is linked to bullying. “Of course it was a tragedy, and I was deeply saddened by it, and of course there were some young people involved and that needs to be addressed,” he said. “But it’s an anomaly that was triggered by the

A closure for victims of crime Oak Bay’s restorative justice program helps community heal Tim Collins News staff
When it comes to dealing with criminal offenders, Micayla Hayes believes there’s a better way. “In a lot of cases, it’s a matter of someone having made some really bad choices,” said Hayes. “Putting them into the criminal justice system may not be the most constructive course of action.” Hayes is the president of Restorative Justice Oak Bay, an organization that, according to its mission statement, aims to “focus on the harms of wrongdoing, making the satisfaction of the victim, the reclamation of the offender and the involvement of the community as important as the letter of the law.” It’s a philosophy shared by Ian Swan, the outgoing secretary treasurer of the association. “We have an opportunity to repair harm,” said Swan. “Of course, people are angry when they’re the victims of a crime, but the healing for the situation is often better addressed by having the offender admit to the offence, understand and regret the harm they’ve done, and do their best to redress the situation.” In a lot of cases, offenders haven’t considered the harm that they do. “I can have someone pull out all the flowers in front of my business,” said Hayes. “They never think about the hours I have to spend repairing the damage, the hundreds of dollars it costs me or how hard I have to work to make that money.” Admitting to the offence is the first and most critical of the criteria for offenders being recommended for a restorative justice solution. Officers in the Oak Bay Police Department are always reviewing files, looking for those with a good chance of restorative justice resolutions, but they won’t consider recommending a file to the program if the person who committed the crime isn’t willing to accept responsibility for what they’ve done. “Everyone involved has to agree to the process,” said Kent Thom, Oak Bay
deputy police chief. “Certainly it begins with the offender accepting responsibility for the charge but it also requires that the victims and other stakeholders agree. If everyone isn’t on the same page, then the process can’t work.” According to Thom, people are starting to look for alternatives to the traditional criminal justice system. Too often, that traditional approach has failed to do anything to change the attitude of the offender or give them an appreciation of the harm they’ve done. Criminals who are incarcerated may be more dangerous upon their release and recidivism rates are high.

Victims have also become frustrated with being left out of the process, said Hayes. She says that some victims feel that offenders are never helped to acknowledge the harm that they’ve done to the victims, and the community or even to themselves. “It can be a cleaner process” said Thom. “And it can ensure that a situation is brought to closure.” The restorative justice mediator is the key. “We’re lucky to have a very progressive, open-minded group in Oak Bay,” said Thom. “They are really good at looking outside the box for remedies and have managed some pretty difficult situations.” For all its success, Restorative Justice Oak Bay is looking for help. The group is in need of volunteers who are willing to take on the hard work of the agency and help the current volunteers keep the program going and expand the work. While the organization currently handles about a dozen cases a year, it could be doing more. “There’s a huge potential of using the system in situations like those you find in high schools, for one,” said Swan. “If we had the resources, we could apply our method to bullying situations,

All volunteers receive training. Potential volunteers can email rjob@gmail.com for more information. For information on Restorative Justice Oak Bay, go to rjob.ca. reporter@vinews.com
How the process works The restorative justice process starts when police review their files and choose the ones that they want to refer to the program. The organization can refuse a file if they feel they lack the resources to adequately handle it. When they accept a file, the victims, perpetrators and other stakeholders are contacted and their commitment to a restorative justice approach is obtained. A face-to-face meeting is held between the victims, the offender, stakeholders, community members and restorative justice. Everyone is given a chance to talk about the offence and the impact it has had on their lives. A trained mediator from restorative justice works to help all parties develop a better understanding of the crime, of each other and of the steps needed to make amends. An agreement is reached on how the offender will repair the harm caused by the offence. If no agreement can be reached, the case is referred back for prosecution. In Oak Bay, Restorative Justice has never failed to negotiate an agreement.

Merrython shows Christmas spirit Rotary club hosts 33rd running of annual event Tim Collins News staff
The Rotary Club of Oak Bay is once again hosting the annual Merrython Fun Run. The event is set for Dec. 2 at the Henderson Recreation Centre and, according to event chair Leslie Rogers-Warnock, organizers couldn’t be more excited. “It’s (Rotary’s) second year running the event and it just keeps getting better. You learn something every time you run an event like this and then you incorporate the ideas from those lessons into the next year’s event,” she said. It’s the 33rd running of the Merrython, with previous events organized by the Oak Bay firefighters. “They’re still a big part of the run,” said Rogers-Warnock. “They come out and help us and, of course, they send out Sparky (the fire fighters’ mascot) to help out. And of course, Santa may show up as well.” The run kicks off at 9:45 a.m. with warm up jazzercise class leading up to the 10 a.m. start for adult participants (ages 13 and older) who will participate in

deserve to have the same level of enthusiasm for their run as the adults,” she said. “They’re the adult runners of tomorrow, after all.” Registration for the event is open until Dec. 2. All the money raised through the run goes to the community and international projects of the Rotary Club, which raised $3,316.80 in 2011 through the generosity of the 172 adult participants and the 29 youth runners. The rotarians are involved in projects as diverse as improving the Carnarvon water park and buying Smart Boards for George Jay Elementary school to providing dental care in Guatemala and wood burning stoves to villages in Africa. “The Runners of Compas-
sion running club will be back as well,” said RogersWarnock. “They collect nonperishable food items and winter wear and blankets.” Registration forms for the event are available at the Henderson or Oak Bay recreation centres or can be downloaded from the event website. Registration costs are $25 for adults and $5 for children and those fees and registrations can be dropped off at the Henderson Recreation Centre, 2291 Cedar Hill X Road, Oak Bay Recreation Centre, 175 Bee Street, or at Frontrunners, 1200 Vancouver St. More information on the Merrython can be found at oakbay.ca/parks-recreation/ news/2012-merrython-funrun-registration-now. reporter@vicnews.com

Children can also participate in a special one kilometre event that starts at 11:15 a.m. “One of the improvements we’ve made this year is to provide activities and child care for the kids waiting to do their run,”
said Rogers-Warnock. “That way parents can do their thing and we’ll care for the little ones until they’re set to go.” She says that organizers are paying a lot more attention to the children’s event this year and intend to make it just as special as the adults run. “The little guys

Saanich police arrested one of the owners of the Red Lion Inn on Douglas Street Saturday after five of his employees were stabbed with a pair of scissors. Police were called to a “volatile and chaotic” scene around 4:30 p.m., where they immediately found multiple victims at multiple bloody crime scenes inside the hotel. Det.-Sgt. Chris Horsley said witnesses quickly assisted police in determining that a lone suspect was responsible. “As police were unaware if other potential victims were
any and all aspects that might have influenced this situation, least of all what the suspect’s mental well being was at the time,” he said. Police say the suspect attacked employees in the hotel’s Jade Fountain Restaurant. The restaurant was not open to the public at the time. He then moved to the kitchen, where more employees were stabbed. The suspect then went upstairs and stabbed the front desk clerk in the hotel lobby, and then locked himself in an office. “This is a police officer’s nightmare. (The hotel is) described as a honeycomb of hallways. A facility this size,
something this confusing with people everywhere and you’re not sure who’s a victim – it’s literally a worst nightmare,” Jantzen said. The five victims were released by Monday morning. Jantzen was unsure of the extent the injuries, but victims were stabbed all over. “It was limbs and back, arms and chest. Some were multiple (stab wound victims), some were single,” he said. “Other employees avoided injury by fleeing.” Meng faces five counts of aggravated assault. As of Monday he remained in police custody. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Bike locks no deterrent Tim Collins News staff
Police are warning cyclists to use high quality locks and to secure their bikes in well-lit areas after a rash of thefts last week. On Nov. 13 an employee at the University of Victoria had his Trek 21-speed bicycle, valued at $950, taken from a bike shelter at the university. The bike was locked, but the lock had been forcibly removed. On Nov. 16 another locked bike, valued at $600, was stolen from in front of the Cunningham building at UVic. Thieves also targeted the Oak Bay tennis bubble where, on Nov. 15, a 24-speed Kona mountain bike was stolen by a man who rode up to the bubble on a different bike, removed the lock of the target bike with bolt cutters and, abandoning the bike on which he’d arrived, rode off on the stolen bicycle. On Nov. 17, another bike valued at $600 was stolen at the tennis bubble. Again, the thief cut the cable lock and

fled with the bike. It’s a problem that has also come to the attention of Saanich police Sgt. Dean Jantzen. “Bike thefts are definitely up,” he said. “Bikes can be very expensive and obviously places like Camosun, high schools and the University of Victoria are going to be focal points for thefts. “It’s definitely something we’re alive to. People have to buy good locks or otherwise disable their bikes to help prevent thefts. Bike storage areas are not a panacea to prevent theft all on their own.” Andrew Sherry, of the Oak Bay Bike Shop, said it’s very difficult to prevent bicycle thefts entirely, as a determined thief with the proper tools can force virtually any lock. “There are better locks out there, though, that can make it harder for any thief and that will take them longer to force,” he said. “It’s worth investing in a good lock to protect bikes that are worth hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars.” reporter@vicnews.com

The importance of proper estate planning The importance of proper estate planning cannot be overstated. Estate planning is the act of planning out your financial, legal, and other affairs in ways to ensure that your wishes are followed when you pass away or when you become incapable of making these important decisions on your own. Depending on your needs, your estate planning may be limited to a Will, or it may include a variety of other documents, including: Trusts, Powers of Attorney, and Representation Agreements. Estate planning may appear to be simple because clients know what they want; however, there are often complex issues that can only be spotted by an experienced estate planning lawyer. These issues have to be considered in order to put your plan in place. How you want to structure your affairs will depend on, and often be made more complex by many factors, such as: s your health status and mental capability (e.g. mental health issues, diminished capacity, disabilities, vulnerabilities); s the type of assets you have (e.g. land, bank accounts, business assets, personal assets); s the people you want to benefit or exclude (e.g. family, friends, charities); s the individuals you want to care for (e.g. children, elderly, mentally disabled persons); the family dynamics in place (e.g. common-law or legal marriage, blended family, second marriage, children, step-children); s the potential challenges made by other individuals to change your estate plan after death (e.g. challenges by spouses or adult children); s the applicable law that may affect your estate plan (e.g. company law, tax law, family law and Wills Variation legislation); and s the long-term goals you want to achieveThe above is by no means an exhaustive list, but is meant to provide a sampling of issues that estate planning lawyers must consider in preparing your estate plan. In forming a plan, both positive and negative contingencies need to be considered. Estate planning lawyers can anticipate many of the future issues which can arise and advise on an estate plan that deals with these contingencies in a way that is satisfactory to you. It is always important to review your plans at least every few years to confirm that they
still adequately reflect your wishes given your present circumstances. Without having spoken with an estate planning lawyer, you will not know what issues could render your estate plan vulnerable or invalid. Without proper estate planning, estate litigation could be the unfortunate result. Estate litigation typically arises after the estate planner has passed away or has become incapable, leaving the litigation on the shoulders of family members and those left behind. Not only can these disputes take years to resolve, but they are often financially and emotionally draining and may have significant negative impacts on the families involved. Be cautious of estate planning tools that appear to be “one-size-fits-all.” Proper estate planning is more than filling in the blanks about who gets what. The estate planning lawyers at McQuarrie Hunter LLP will work with you to develop a plan that reflects your instructions and circumstances, and does its best to protect your estate plan from challenges in the future. Most important, proper estate planning gives you the peace of mind knowing that your affairs are well-organized and “in order”. If you need assistance in creating an estate plan or would like more information, please contact, Kim Floeck or Allison Catherwood of McQuarrie Hunter LLP at 604-581-7001.

As a graduate of Physical Education, Robert plans to leave his bequest to the Athletics Department while Laura’s gift is currently undesignated, so it can be put towards the area of greatest need. “Students come to UBC to figure out who they are,” explains Laura. “You never know—you could be sitting next to someone who cures a major disease, produces a great composition or becomes the next Olympic champion. Students have so much potential, so why not support them?” Kate, Robert and Laura all agree that financial need shouldn’t bar any student from university. “If my gift helps someone gain access to higher education, that would be great,” says Laura. “People who undertake university on their own, without the help of parents or scholarship money, have a really hard time,” says Kate. “I like the idea of making someone’s life a little easier.” “Besides,” adds Robert, “you never know. The money you put towards UBC could benefit you in ways you never thought possible.”
Dr. Quinn’s wonderful gift gave me an opportunity to travel to Europe for the a new culture and research environment. With the UBC Vision Lab I have been studying how the brain processes visual information, and with the Multisensory Research Group in Barcelona, Spain I was able to expand this research to include touch. This has uncovered new knowledge about how we process information in our everyday lives. Understanding how the brain works under normal circumstances is a critical step in ultimately helping those with conditions such as Attention Deficit Disorder or Autism. Thank you Dr. Quinn. – Allison Brennan, PhD student Dr. Michael Quinn expressed his passion for clinical psychology with a bequest to UBC, ensuring vital funding for psychology faculty and students.

OUR VIEW
Restorative justice a valuable resource Volunteers accomplish a variety of tasks in our communities, but those who give their time to restorative justice programs may do more than meets the eye. As we recognize Restorative Justice week in B.C. this week, we should take time to rethink our idea of justice. The biblical credo of “… An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth,” is a far cry from today’s somewhat less clear definition. Traditional theories of justice run from retribution to deterrence, rehabilitation to incarceration and each has its place in our judicial system. We all want violent offenders off our streets and all criminals made accountable for their actions. We want a justice system that is fair to all of those involved, both offenders and victims. Too often, a traditional approach to justice fails to change the attitude of the offender, much less give them an appreciation of the harm they’ve done. Those incarcerated may be even more dangerous upon their release and recidivism rates are high. Victims are often left feeling frustrated by the judicial process. When we look at justice, we frequently focus on punishment. Making sure the victim feels the punishment fits the crime and the chance for reparation are often overlooked. This is where restorative justice has the greatest impact. In cases where the practice is used, the victim plays an active role in how the perpetrator is dealt with. This allows the victim’s voice to be heard from the beginning of the process, unlike the court system, which often leaves victim impact statements to follow a conviction. For the restorative justice system to work, however, requires offenders to admit their guilt and show remorse, victims who are willing to use the alternative to the justice system, and a supportive community for both. We are fortunate to have volunteers run restorative justice programs in our communities. But with the court system overburdened, it’s time for government to invest in expanding these programs, both to relieve pressure on the courts and to help deliver justice over the long term.

The ministry reports that there are 2,221 front-line staff positions, of which 219 are currently vacant. It’s notoriously difficult to recruit, train and keep child protection workers, especially in remote communities. Turpel-Lafond says her latest figures show the child and youth mental health service has 476 staff, with 21 vacancies and a government-wide hiring freeze. And many of those are doing double duty as community service managers. Those managers don’t even have reliable data on case loads, she said. They just know they’re overwhelmed and many of the kids aren’t being reached. This is not about political blame. I can trace this problem back to when Grace McCarthy was children’s minister, and the NDP did no better. I’ve learned a bit about Riverview and Tranquille, asylums that were closed because of a modern belief that they were inhumane. At least they offered safety and medical care to even the most damaged people. Right now our enlightened, progressive society can’t even help most of the kids we know are at high risk. –Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Readers respond:
Sewage treatment plant, deer fencing
Treatment is a waste Restricting deer is not the answer If anyone wanted to see how much thought has been applied to the decision to proceed with land-based sewage treatment, the comments of our CRD chair, Geoff Young, must surely win the gold medal for utter nonsense. Young says, “The idea we are going to be allowed to continue to dump this stuff into the ocean and assume it does no harm, because we can’t detect the harm, is something that is not going to appeal to regulators … when we talk about delay we have to be concerned about the fact they’re offering us two-thirds of the cost.” Think about this for several seconds: Young admits there is no evidence that harm is being done by the current screening system; it doesn’t matter that dozens of marine scientists and studies can’t detect any harm. Young and the regulators know better. He forgets that the folks
who are offering to pay the other two-thirds of the cost also happen to be taxpayers, not some wealthy benefactor. He also clearly admits there is no evidence that this billion-dollar boondoggle will improve the problem one iota, as he has already confirmed there is no evidence that one actually exists. Shouldn’t we retire some of our brilliant leaders who love nothing better than creating monuments at our expense? Hopefully, this latest turn of events will at least force our leaders to commission a proper study to determine what benefits, if any, we will get for the biggest expenditure of tax funds in Victoria’s history. Better yet, let’s elect people who will do their homework and stand up for our best interests. Bob Wheaton Saanich
Re: Fence the deer in not out (letters Nov. 14) I am standing firm in my conviction and drawing my line in the sand again. I am being an unapologetic advocate for those who cannot speak for themselves and pardon me if you don’t like it, deer. We are living in the deers’ garden and perhaps they consider us pests. Too bad if you do not like that they too, need to eat and crap. They did not make themselves that way, they did not choose to be deer any more than we chose to be human or fluffy the cat chose to be fluffy the cat. As to the previous letter-writer’s suggestion to fence in all the deer on someone’s farm
restricting their movement it sounds to me like a concentration camp/internment camp for the non-existent crime of being a deer. If it is wrong to keep people segregated from society for no other reason than they are Jewish or Japanese or keep First Nations on a reserve, what makes it right to do this to deer by fencing them in? Even if you do find a farmer to agree to have a fence built high enough to keep them in and be warden of this deer concentration camp, how does the writer propose getting all the deer to the farm? Load them onto a livestock truck or horse trailer? Good luck getting any cooperation from the deer. Andre Mollon Langford
Fencing deer a brilliant suggestion Re: Fence the deer in not out (letters Nov. 14) Bravo to the gentleman who wrote this letter. It is a brilliant solution and a workable one which will be a win-win for all concerned.
He deserves an award for making this suggestion and do let us hope the powers that be take it seriously. J. Lee Oak Bay

Judy Harrison, the principle of Monterey Middle School, agrees. “The list of giving projects that the kids, even at middle school levels, get involved in is phenomenal. And you can acknowledge the Internet as one of the reasons for that as well,” she said. “It’s given the kids a worldliness that allows them to look at serious issues through a new lens at a very young age. “We had a Me to We rally here where kids were more enthusiastic than anyone would have imagined. They get it.” The rally involved a multimedia presentation and awareness campaign for an ongoing movement to raise funds to fight poverty world-wide.
Thomson also credits the internet for engaging young people in an unprecedented way. “It’s live and real. They see the tears in the eyes of disaster victims and see the needs in real time,” he said. As an example, he pointed to the fact that the day after hurricane Sandy hit the eastern seaboard, students were already mobilizing relief initiatives at his school. Last year, Oak Bay High students spearheaded a host of projects that managed to raise about $300,000. “They didn’t do that going door-to-door in Oak Bay asking for donations,” said Thomson. “It was done through bottle drives, car washes, by going to corporations and by getting business donations for silent auctions. The list was innovative and nearly endless.”

How to use ointments correctly Occasionally one uses prescription or non prescription eye ointments to treat certain eye conditions, infections or diseases. If you thought eye drops were hard to aim, try figuring out how to place ointment in your eye without poking yourself. Before you use any ointment, be sure to tell your Optometrist about any other prescription or non-prescription medications you are using or allergies that you have. Here are some general tips about correctly putting ointments in your eyes. 1. Always wash your hands before handling medications. 2. Begin by expressing and discarding a 1/4 inch of ointment from the tube at each use. 3. Form a pocket by gently pulling the skin of your lower eye-lid between your thumb and index finger. Squeeze a 1⁄4” to 1⁄2” strip of ointment into the pocket. 4. Twist your wrist to break the strip of ointment from the tube. 5. After placing the ointment in your eye, blink or close your eyes briefly. Your body heat will melt the ointment so it can spread across the surface of your eyes. 6. If you are applying the ointment to the edges of your eyelids, express about a 1/2-inch strip of ointment onto your finger and glide it across the length of your closed lids near the base of your lashes. 7. Use a soft, clean tissue to remove any excess ointment from the skin around your eyes. Be sure not to disturb the ointment placed in your eyes or on the edges of your eyes. Be sure to follow all of the instructions that your doctor of optometry gives you and to complete the course of medication or treatment that he or she recommends. If you experience any side-effects (such as burning, inflammation, puffiness, itching, etc.) notify your eye care practitioner immediately.

Thomson added that his students don’t view fundraising as a competition but as a cause. “It’s adults who want to make it a competition,” he said with a laugh. “Reynolds (Secondary School) raised $103,000 for Cops for Cancer last year and our kids had a lot of irons in the fire, but still raised about $50,000. They weren’t upset at that – they cheered Reynolds on and felt great about it,” he added. Students also gave of themselves in more direct ways. Last year 30 students paid their own way to Mexico with teacher Brent Garraway to help with a project called hero holiday. “They raised all the money for materials for two houses here ($24,000) and went down and actually built the houses for two families. They did the construction, lived with the families, played with their children and discovered what it was all about,” said Garraway. In another project students raised money for a hospital and school in Africa. But not every cause has an earth shaking impact. “We have a stuJACQUELINE DAHM dent here, Maria (Tala1921 – 2011 laeva) who started Currently studying a tennis program so Medicine in Kelowna that high school kids could mentor kids at I always wanted to go into medicine and Monterey and teach this bursary has helped me reach my them how to play tengoals.

Tennis bubble slated for replacement Recreation commissioner objects to decision in letter to council Tim Collins News staff
The decision to replace the aging four-court tennis bubble, located directly behind the Oak Bay Recreation Centre, with another bubble has moved one member of the Oak Bay Recreation Commission to speak out against the move. In an open letter to Oak Bay’s mayor and council, Brian Yellin said the move means that Oak Bay will lose a “once in a generation opportunity” to improve the facility through the construction of a permanent tennis structure. “The life expectancy for the replacement bubble is 25 years,” said Yellin. “By making this move, we’ll be stuck with an environmentally unfriendly, inferior facility for that long before we get a chance to replace it. It’s utter nonsense.” Although consideration had been given to a permanent structure, according to Mayor Nils Jensen, this is not the time to build it. “In order to replace it with a permanent structure, it would have to be relocated in terms of space and to tie in with the plan to even-
tually day-light Bowker Creek,” said Jensen. “We’d have to look at other locations.” Jensen said the decision is in line with the report of the recreation commission whose recommendation appeared in the commission’s September minutes and were subsequently approved in October. He maintained that it’s the right decision for the moment. “We’ve already committed funds to the Neighbourhood Learning Centre and the community theatre,” he said. “Now is not the time to undertake another significant project of this kind.” “I don’t buy that argument,” said Yellin. He said that the recreation commission only recommended the replacement of the tennis bubble because council had made its wishes clear on the matter prior to the recommendation being made. “It’s no use having a commission if it’s not to provide sober second thought to council,” he said. Yellin has decided not to let his name stand for a second one year term on the commission when his current term expires in the new year. Monte Holding, the Chair of the Oak Bay Recreation Commission denies that either the mayor or council pressured the commission to reach its decision. “Of course it’s important to understand the big picture of council’s priorities and policies,” he said. “But we are always free to recommend what-

The four-court bubble will be replaced with a new bubble next year. ever we want.” Ray Herman, Director of Parks and Recreation, who sits in an advisory position on the recreation commission, concurs. It was his report to the commission that formed the basis for their recommendations. “We received no direction, were not pressured in any way to come up with this recommendation. Council and the commission have a great working relationship,” he said. Despite Yellin’s concerns,
Jensen stands by the decision. “It’s just the right recommendation and the right decision at this time. We have the approximately $410,000 set aside in a reserve for the replacement so it will have no impact on taxation. Compare that with a permanent structure that
would run upward of $2.5 million for a bare bones structure.” The request for proposals for the replacement has not yet been issued, but Jensen anticipates the replacement will go ahead in September 2013. reporter@vicnews.com

Friends rally to fulfill teen’s bucket list Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
Last Friday 17-year-old Justin Plunkett returned from his first bucket-list trip, the island of Maui. On Christmas Eve 2010, the Spectrum student was diagnosed with a rare brain cancer. He finished treatment, which included chemotherapy, in September 2011. The Saanich teen earned an all-clear from doctors. On Oct. 30 he wasn’t feeling well and doctors did a scan that determined his cancer returned. “He was essentially given three months to live,� said his aunt Andrea Rempel. “We all just rallied together, family and friends. It’s just really taken us

Justin Plunkett all for a loop.� The trip last week was one offered by Make a Wish – it was his “cancer survivor� wish to celebrate one year of remission. With the new diagnosis, the trip took a twist. It became part of his bucket list. “He’s fulfilling a lot of little
things right now,� Rempel said. “He’s 17, but no 17-year-old has a bucket list. Pretty much whatever comes across the plate we are trying to make happen.� He spent time on an ATV, went parasailing, had a beachside massage and learned luau drumming. Rempel recalls bottle drives were a successful fundraiser when Plunkett fought his first battle with cancer.

Take a look at Pan through Kaleidoscope Tim Collins News staff
A fresh tale of magic and possibility is alighting on the MacPherson Theatre’s stage, and although the story is a classic, the look is entirely new. It’s Kaleidoscope Theatre’s production of Pan, the retelling of J.M. Barrie’s timeless story of Peter Pan, the boy who refuses to leave childhood behind. But while the story has been updated, it’s lost none of the fantastical nature of the original tale. “Like Neverland, the story is timeless and will continue to survive with the message that anything is possible. It’s childhood, and that’s a constant,” said director Roderick Glanville. “But we’re not stepping back into 1911 England. Our story is set in current time.” In Glanville’s Pan, the English nursery has become a condo, and the Indian tribe has become a group of tigers from India who at one point perform a Bollywood dance sequence. The pirates are sea dogs, and Hook is the meanest dog of them all. And yes, even as a sea-going canine, he still has a very large hook. “And we’re not flying anyone around on cables,” said Glanville. “We’re flying them with cinema.” That cinematic component of the pro-
lost childhood, so the set revolves around those discarded elements. And the multimedia aspects allow us to create an almost cinematic experience in conjunction with the powerful theatre on stage.” He said that the sets and costumes are entirely fresh, except for Peter. “In the books, Peter is dressed in autumn leaves and cobwebs. That’s how he has to stay. That’s the point. Everything else moves on, but Peter remains a constant.” Andrew Lynch plays the title role of Peter Pan and is joined by Tich Wilson as Wendy. “I didn’t realize that these two knew one another when I cast them, Miles Lowry photo but they attended UBC’s Ajay Parikh-Friese is part of the Kaleidoscope Theatre’s theatre school together performance of Pan at the MacPherson Theatre. and were roommates for five years,” said Glanduction is integral to the creation of the ville. “So they have this natural, magical theme, as is the overall set design, powerful chemistry.” said Miles Lowry, the show’s production Lynch and Wilson are joined by stage designer. “We’ve created a wilderness of veteran Chris Mackie as Captain Hook and
acclaimed dance-artist Jung-Ah Chung as Tiger Lily. Thanks to the work of Alexander Brendan Ferguson, the play’s sound designer and composer, the production is integrated with a musical score that reflects the enchantment, joy, and excitement coupled with elements of bittersweet sadness that lie at the heart of the story. “The music tends to be its own character and is tied to the magic and beauty of dreams and hopes … to the lack of real word problems. It’s a great tool to move the audience.” According to Glanville, the fresh approach has invigorated the timeless story. “We looked at it and said, ‘if its been done before, let’s not do it again, let’s find a different way to tell this story.’” He feels that Kaleidoscope has achieved that goal in a heartwarming, thoughtful and entertaining retelling of the magical power of childhood and those things that are lost as we mature. “J.M.Barrie wrote, ‘The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease forever to be able to do it,’” said Glanville. “We want to help people to hold on to belief for a little while longer.” The play runs from Nov. 24 to Dec. 1.

Film a journey to forgiveness A screening of the short film Checkmate takes place Nov. 24 at 7 p.m. at Studio 4 Athletics. The film, which runs approximately 20 minutes, has been accepted into the International Film Festival of Cinematic Arts in Los Angeles where it will have its world premiere. Directors, Michael Worth and George Grant took writer Eric Mazimpaka’s script and created a dynamic and poignant film. “The cast and crew are passionate about the message and the quality of this short film and look forward to sharing it,” said actor Mia Bailly. Worth, who produced Cole Grifter’s Habit seen on MuchMusic and recently Sachika’s Not Gonna Play lends his capacity to visually craft a winning film to this project. Grant, who studied film and acting in the U.S. masterfully draws out the performances of the actors. Checkmate centres on a hate crime and the journey toward forgiveness. The film is raw and touching and actors Patrick Henderson, Mia Bailly, Jonathan Brereton, and Eric Mazimpaka deliver moving performances. The involvement of the community to facilitate the film coming to fruition was inspiring, said Bailly. “Both in terms of corporate sponsorship, as well as community neighbours assisting in location needs.” Admission to the screening is by donation. llavin@vicnews.com

OAK BAY NEWS - Wednesday, November 21, 2012
TP means terrific product for local businessman Bamboo kind of grew on Jim Legh. The Victoria lawyer and pub owner really liked the feel of a new set of towels his wife bought for their Saanich home. He was already impressed with the look and durability of bamboo flooring he had installed there. It wasn’t long before he started Don Descoteau looking into other uses for the Biz Beat plant. Ultimately his search led him to toilet paper. Through a friend in the grocery business, he discovered that bamboo TP was being marketed in Australia. When that company didn’t appear interested in expanding to North America, Legh and his partner sourced the manufacturer in China. In a matter of months, Legh’s new company, True Earth Paper, has a deal in place to produce Silk’n Soft toilet paper and sales agreements with several highprofile retailers. “Toilet paper is something everyone in this part of the world uses,” Legh said of his investment in a ‘tree-free’ product. “I figured, why cut down trees for something you’re going to flush down the toilet?” The paper is 70 per cent bamboo and 30 per cent cotton, sourced from leftover material from cloth production. The carbon footprint of importing the product from China is still less than domestically produced toilet paper from trees, Legh says, since bamboo produces 35 per cent more oxygen and absorbs four times the carbon as a similarsized stand of hardwood trees. Given that Silk’n Soft is the new kid on the toilet paper block, sales so far have been brisk, with thousands of packages sold to such stores as Thrifty Foods, Country Grocer, Market on Yates, Peppers, and Oxford Foods, among others. Legh says True Earth plans to focus on niche areas such as organic markets, health food stores and other grocers with a commitment to green retailing. The paper sells for about the
same as other toilet papers. The benefits of bamboo to the environment mean little when consumers are scanning the shelves for toilet paper, Legh acknowledges. That’s where the 30 per cent cotton comes in. “The cotton helps make it soft,” he says. For more information on Silk’n Soft, visit silknsoft.ca or check them out on Facebook.
Mapping, info firm’s growth through the roof GeoDigital International Inc., an aerial mapping and information management company specializing in the electrical utility industry, made the Deloitte Technology Fast 50TM list as the 12th fastestgrowing tech company in Canada. It recorded more than 1,000 percent growth in profit between 2007 and 2011. GeoDigital, which has a production centre on Topaz Avenue in Victoria, was also 2010 winner of VIATec’s product of the year award for its vegetation management solution.
Thrifty’s food drive underway across chain Thrifty Foods has kicked off its annual Food for Families drive at all of its 29 stores. The grocer offers customers an opportunity to add $5, $10 or $20 to their order at the till for food vouchers that are transformed into groceries for families in need, through local food banks. The company raised $206,000 with the campaign last year.
Home-grown grocers expanding up Island Vancouver Island-based Country Grocer continues to grow, opening the largest store in its chain last month on Bowen Road in Nanaimo. The 50,000-square-foot store, the company’s second in Nanaimo, hosted its grand opening last week. It was constructed to green standards with eco-friendly features that include bio-swales to control rainwater runoff, rain gardens and a heat reclamation unit that captures waste heat to warm the building.

Suicidal youths go untreated: report B.C. system unable to protect at-risk youth Tom Fletcher Black Press
B.C.’s child protection system has lost most of its ability to deal with severely abused, depressed and suicidal teens in provincial care, their independent advocate says. A review of 89 cases by Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond finds common circumstances of severe problems, notably mental illness, domestic violence, sexual and physical abuse, alcohol and drug abuse by young people or their parents, and running away to live on the streets. All the cases are children who had contact with ministry social workers, in some cases from infancy. Three quarters of them were removed from their homes because their parents’ behaviour was a threat to them. The study revealed that they were shuffled to different group or foster homes an average of a dozen times, with some moving as much as 30 times in three years. Fifteen of the children in the
“This is a pretty horrific foster care system for kids with mental health needs.” – Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond Representative for Children and Youth study killed themselves, and the other 74 severely injured themselves during the study period, 2007-2010. More than half were aboriginal. The review found that the youths, aged 12 to 19, were not assessed or treated for trauma, and caregivers are not trained to deal with mental illness or the effects of abuse. Turpel-Lafond said in an inter-
view that while she admires the willingness of “mom and pop” foster parents to take in abused and mentally ill children, the turnover shows they can’t do the job without specialized training and a constant presence to help stabilize the teens’ home and school life. “This is a pretty horrific foster care system for kids with mental health needs, and that’s something that we have to face,” Turpel-Lafond said. “The government has to face down the fact that they’ve mostly gutted therapeutic foster care over the last decade.” Other risk factors identified in the study are learning disabilities and lack of attachment to school, and in a third of cases a “significant romantic conflict” within 24 hours before killing or injuring themselves. Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux said the ministry accepts all the recommendations in the report, and is preparing a two-year action plan for mental health services that includes improved training of both social workers and foster parents. After consultations, including aboriginal communities and agencies, the plan is to be made public by February, Cadieux said. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Back-to-back city cups for Lambrick Lions
Cougars, Braves crossing the bridge
Lambrick Park edges St. Andrew’s for soccer title Travis Paterson News staff
Local Junior B clubs reaching next level Travis Paterson News staff
The Island’s top two junior B hockey teams are going head to head this week as the Victoria Cougars meet the Saanich Braves in a two-game set. The home-and-home series goes Thursday (Nov. 22) at Archie Browning Sports Centre and Friday at Pearkes arena, and is as big a junior B matchup as it gets, not just on the Island but in the province. “This is a great test for us, a battle, a war,” Braves coach Brad Cook said. “Of course two of our four losses are to the Cougars. We can match them at five-onfive, and have outplayed them even, but you have to stay away from their powerplay.” In 23 games, the Cougars (22-0-0-1) have picked up every possible point but one, losing in a shootout to the Comox Valley Glacier Kings early in the season. That loss was rectified on Sunday afternoon, when the Cougars torched the Glacier Kings 9-3. Next to the Cougars’ winning percentage of .978, the Braves’ .800, an unheard of pace in most sports, almost seems sobering. This week can establish whether the Braves (16-4) are indeed on the same plane as the Cougars, or a shade below, as the winning percentages suggest. Either way, there’s no denying the two clubs are head and shoulders above the rest of the league, and most of the province. Going into the two-game series the Braves are ranked third in B.C. behind the Delta Ice Hawks (.833) of the mainland’s Pacific International league, but that could change.

Sharon Tiffin/News staff
Comox Valley Glacier King Calvin Hadley and Victoria Cougar Jordan Davie battle for the puck at Archie Browning Sports Centre in Esquimalt. Cougars won the game 9-3, their 16th straight game. In the first meeting of the Braves and Cougars, the Cougars were kept off the powerplay and it was close, 3-2. But in the second meeting Victoria got a couple of bounces, and a 2-2 game in the third period turned into 6-2 with an emptynetter. “We have to find a way to put them on their heels and force them to make mistakes. They don’t make many. The big thing for us right now is learning how to play better without the puck,” Cook said.
Cougars vs. Braves Thursday, Nov. 22, 7 p.m at Archie Browning arena, and Friday, Nov. 23, 6:30 p.m. at Pearkes arena.
That, and not giving the referees a reason to make a call. “(The Cougars’) powerplay will kill you, it’s something else.” There are many similarites between the two inner-city clubs, which are separated by less than a 10-minute drive. The programs both cross into junior A territory, with players and coaches committed in a way that was unheard of in junior B leagues back when they first strapped on skates. The Braves top line features Ty Jones
and Josh Gray, a pair of 20-year-olds with junior A experience. Jones is courted constantly by BCHL teams, and is surely NCAA bound. He’s also carrying a full course load at Camosun College. Likewise, the duo of Brody Coulter and Sam Rice, who lead the league in scoring, are affiliates with the Victoria Grizzlies. But they’re not about to give up a good thing with the Cougars. “At this stage, to go the BCHL as a 20-year-old rookie is a risk, you’re looking at being a role player with much less ice time,” said Cougars coach Mark Van Helvoirt. “We moved five players on last year to playing scholarships and Coulter and Rice are among five more likely to find scholarships this year.” The Cougars recently added 18-yearold defenceman Brandon Egli of the Trail Smoke Eaters. He was on the Peninsula Panthers for their 2011 Cyclone Taylor Cup provincial championship run. The Braves also made a big move, landing 18-year-old Nolan Kinney from the Kerry Park Islanders. He’ll make his debut against the Cougars this week. “Our games (against Saanich) go right down to the final minute, they’re a deep team that’s well coached and they bring out the best of us,” Van Helvoirt said. sports@vicnews.com
The Lambrick Park Lions made it two straight city boys soccer championships defeating the upstart St. Andrew’s Sabres 2-1 in a penalty kick shootout at UVic on Wednesday (Nov. 14). The match was tied 1-1 at the first half and remained scoreless through the second half and 30 minutes of overtime. “Both teams were great and the momentum switched back and forth constantly,” said Lions coach Heather Weir. “There were lots of opportunities, both sides moved the ball around great, a classic Colonist Cup final.” Chris Fougner scored the only goal in regulation for the Lions, and was the last to touch the ball, scoring the deciding penalty kick to win the shootout 5-3 for Lambrick. “I had confidence in all our guys, I told them before they went out (for penalty kicks) that I knew they could do it.” Goalie Matt Turner was “amazing” and stopped the fourth Sabres penalty shooter, which made it 4-3 in for Lambrick, and set up Fougner’s gameclinching goal. “Of course you always want to win it in regulation but you take it however you can get it,” Weir said. The game nearly was decided in regulation, quite a few times. Two Sabres’ shots rung off the Lions’ cross bar, and two of Lambrick’s better shots just whistled past the Sabres’ net. The Sabres are the 2011 single-A B.C. champs but lost that title in the B.C. final to the Glenlyon Gryphons this year. The Lions recently finished fourth in the AA Islands, eliminated in the wildcard game for a spot in provincials by Gulf Island secondary, 3-0. Sweeper Manmeet Parmar and defensive-mid Morgan Varley were among the stronger Grade 12 players that led Lambrick to success this year. They’ll move on, meaning it could be a rebuilding year in 2013 for the Lions. “We didn’t have a junior team this year so we’ll be drawing in some talent. It’ll be a bit of a rebuild,” Weir said. “It’s always challenging to go win the title, and we want to go back-to-back-to-back. But it was challenging this year so we know it’s possible.” sports@vicnews.com

A Lowry hat trick Hockey draws Lowry family to Victoria Travis Paterson News staff
Previously Calgary-based, the Lowrys are an Island family now. Swift Current Broncos captain Adam Lowry, son of Victoria Royals coach Dave Lowry, was the latest to earn ties to Victoria. Adam played his first WHL game in Victoria with Team WHL of the Super Series on Nov. 16 and will be back again on Dec. 8 when the Broncos play the Royals. Adam is following in the footsteps of Dave and mother Elaine, who’s already a regular in the Victoria running and triathlon scene, and older brother Joel, a former Victoria Grizzlies player. “I was looking forward to coming. And it’s always Adam Lowry nice to be familiar with a coach going into a situation like (the Super Series),” Adam said after the game. It was the first time Adam and Dave shared the bench since Dave coached Adam’s peewee team during the 2004-05 season. (That was Dave’s first year of retirement from playing, which coincidentally, was an NHL lockout year.) “We always joke (that season) kick-started his coaching career and got him going. I don’t remember a time after that when he was able to be on (my team’s) bench.” Victoria’s one of the few cities where Adam’s playing success is secondary behind that of Joel’s. In two seasons with the junior A Grizzlies, Joel blossomed from a midget player into a power forward, won an NCAA scholarship with the Cornell Big Red and was selected by the L.A. Kings in the 2011 NHL Entry draft. Adam was picked in the third round of that draft by the Winnipeg Jets. “I guess I’m calling (Victoria) home now. My brother was able to have a lot of success with the Grizzlies and I know he loved playing here. And my (mom and dad) have settled in nicely. I look forward to seeing what Victoria’s all about.” The Team WHL partnership, Dave as an assistant coach and Adam as the captain, didn’t go as well as it could have for them, and resulted in a 5-2 loss to Team Russia. The game was also the Super Series winner for Russia, which outscored Team WHL 10 goals to eight in aggregate.
The feeling in Team WHL’s dressing room was pretty down, said Lowry. “We knew we had to win both games for the CHL to clinch the series,” he said. “With (the 1-0 win in Vancouver) we had the momentum. They got ahead on a couple of lucky goals.” Adam scored Team WHL’s second goal with three-and-a-half-minutes remaining to make it 4-2. But Yaroslav Kosov scored an empty netter, an insurance goal which he’d nearly scored a few mintues earlier when he was stopped by goalie Eric Comrie on a slick breakaway move. Team WHL wasn’t as hard-hitting in Adam’s mind as they were in Vancouver and let Russia control the puck too much. “Our chemistry was a little off, it hurts you offensively but you can’t use it as an excuse; we’re all elite players.” Adam was injured when the Royals visited Swift Current and lost 3-1 last year. sports@vicnews.com

DO YOU WANT ALL KIDS TO HAVE A GOOD START? WE DO TOO.
UVic chemistry professor Alexandre Brolo holds a beaker overflowing with carbon dioxide created from dry ice. Brolo will lead a highly visual chemistry show on Thursday, Nov. 22. Edward Hill/News staff
Explosive show for United Way Edward Hill News staff
A good chemistry show can open the minds of young people to the wonders of science. A fiery explosion or two helps. The University of Victoria’s Chemistry Students’ Society is hosting a show on Thursday that promises energetic and colourful chemical reactions, while raising money for the United Way of Greater Victoria. UVic chemistry professor Alexandre Brolo is leading the demonstrations, and is following in the long tradition of retired professor Reginald Mitchell (a.k.a. Dr. Zonk), who held science shows for kids since the mid-1970s. “We don’t dress up (like Dr.
Zonk), but we try to make a lot of chemical reactions that are visually appealing, especially ones that will get the kids exciting and curious about science,” Brolo said. The experiments progress from basic reactions like those that produce colour changes in a liquid, to spicy concoctions that generate masses of growing foam, to experiments that rapidly shrink Styrofoam cups. The perennial favourites are things that go boom, which is where the ethanol cannons and hydrogen balloons come in. “Hydrogen balloons explode very loud. But if you mix hydrogen with oxygen, they explode much louder,” Brolo said laughing. “I like the explosions. They

get the most response from the audience. Everyone likes a good explosion.” Brolo has taken the helm of the chemistry show for about four years, but he’s an old hand at wowing audiences. He did similar shows in his native Brazil in the 1980s. “The main thing is to make science interesting and enjoyable. With kids who are young, we want to wake their curiosity, to ask questions and understand the phenomena they’re looking at can be explained.” The chemistry show is on Nov. 22, 7 p.m. at the Bob Wright Centre at UVic. Entry is $9.50 with proceeds going to the United Way. See uvic.ca/unitedway.
