Bowker Avenue flood report finds flaws Old shut-off valves led workers to turn more water on, adding to rising flood waters
O
ak Bay set out to answer some tough questions around the Nov. 20 Bowker Avenue flood with the release of an incident report from the chief administrative officer on Dec. 21. The report identified several problems associated with the cause of the incident and makes several recommendations for changes in policies and procedures. “We know that there were things we could have done better,” Mayor Nils Jensen said in a press release. “What’s important now is that we address the harm that was caused and make sure that we learn from our mistakes and make sure they’re never repeated.” The water main broke when a public works crew fol-

O Christmas tree! O Christmas tree! Thy leaves are about to be tossed in the chipper and turned into mulch. A long-standing Oak Bay firefighters’ tradition continues this weekend with the annual Christmas tree recycle. Firefighters host by-donation tree chipping at the Oak Bay Fire Station, 1703 Monterey Ave., with all proceeds to benefit the newly-created Oak Bay Firefighters’ Charitable Foundation. In years past, donations have gone directly into bursaries.

This year, the cash will continue to go toward the advancement of students, but now via a newly-created Oak Bay Firefighters charitable fund. The firefighters will continue to offer the bursaries, in addition to support for burn victims and pediatric medical care. “We’re trying to become more competitive and create a larger (amount of) revenue,” said Gregory Swan of the Oak Bay Firefighters Charitable Foundation. “The hope is to maintain what we’ve been giving in bursaries and expand.” This year seven high school students, Garrett Birch – Stage-

Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.
January 6 - 11, 2013
As we grow older, the lenses in our eyes tend to grow stiffer and less flexible. As this happens, the lens loses some of its ability to focus on near objects. This condition is called presbyopia, and it occurs in all of us – becoming apparent around the age of 40 and progressing as the years go by. Most of us notice this when we find ourselves holding books or newspapers further and further away – the “trombone” effect. Sooner of later this will go from being annoying to being unacceptable. The good news is that presbyopia is correctable. In fact, the optometrist today can supply you with more options to correct this problem than ever before. Among the available options are: Reading glasses: If your distance vision is still good and you only have trouble close up, full or half frame glasses may be the answer. Bifocals and trifocals: If you need glasses for both distance and close-up, the new generation of bifocal glasses can solve your problem. Modern bifocals are lightweight and attractive, unlike their predecessors. Trifocals have a section for those intermediate distances, just beyond armslength. Progressive lenses: A relatively new advance, these are designed to mimic the focusing action of the normal eye. They can provide the advantages of trifocals, but without the lines. Task specific lenses: People in certain professions, occupations and hobbies that require focus at particular distances can benefit from a variety of specialty lenses designed to meet their requirements. In addition, there are contact lenses which can help some people with presbyopia. If you are having trouble seeing close-up, talk to your optometrist.

OAK BAY NEWS -Wednesday, January 2, 2013
Starting fresh: New year, new resolutions Why we make promises to ourselves and how best to achieve them Natalie North News staff
Body or bank account: January is a time often focused on shaping things up. But just how successful a person is in sticking to their New Year’s resolutions – physical, financial or otherwise – depends on a host of factors, beginning with how the resolution is framed. “People fall into two categories when it comes to motivation,” said Danu Stinson, professor of psychology, specializing in social psychology at the University of Victoria. “Some people really excel at, and prefer to avoid, costs and negative outcomes. This is a way of goal pursuit that they really favour and are good at: avoiding bad things. Other people excel at pursuing good things.” Knowing a person’s motivation style and framing resolutions appropriately – the approach or avoid method – is the first step to achieving success. “Do they tend to think a lot about possible bad outcomes that could occur, and prepare to avoid those types of things, or do they spend a lot of time thinking about positive things in their lives and how they might shape their decisions to pursue and achieve those positive things?” Stinson said. Next: surround yourself with people attacking a similar goal. “If we are interacting with somebody who shares our goal, then spending time with them actually brings that goal to mind and helps facilitate that goal for us. It’s more complex than just having it be more fun than going to the gym with a buddy. Just thinking about them brings the goal to mind for you. It becomes more active in your mind and it’s easier to pursue.” Gym buddies abound in January, as weight loss and fitness continue to top the annual resolution list. Every year Krista Enderud, health and wellness programmer at Oak Bay Recreation fitness centre, watches gym classes fill up in the New Year’s rush and drop off by mid-February. “Put some structure onto it,” Enderud said. “Make it attainable. Put it in a timeframe.” Rather than just setting the parameters of the goal, the person should also tell a friend or find some other way of being held accountable. “And start off small. Don’t just say I’m going to go to the gym seven days a week and then be surprised when that goal isn’t attainable.” Taking the intimidation out of the process is another important step, Enderud added.

Mind’s Hypnotherapy in downtown Victoria is amid her busiest season of the year. “People tend to take stock of who they are and where they’re at – or not at – during this time of year,” said Bos. “For the people who are feeling distressed or un-empowered with where they’re at, it’s a time to take a cold, hard look at themselves.” Bos’ work is to help her clients use the deeper part of their mind, to connect with the deeper consciousness, and facilitate change on a psychological level. “The process of becoming hypnotized really only takes a few moments,” she said, adding that each session generally lasts about 90 minutes. Her own husband took on a classic resolution and quit smoking after 25 years with one session. Some clients come in for one or two sessions, with most having completely tackled their issue by four sessions with Bos. Bos has been practising in Victoria for 12 years and continues to see an influx of new clients each January. Her treatments address what she considers to be the standard resolution items – smoking, weight loss, nail biting, managing stress/anxiety – to any number of deep-seated personal development work. “Regression work is not just about reprogramming, it’s about understanding why,” said Bos. “It’s clinical, medical, scientific, intuitive and as spiritual as the client would like to embrace.” nnorth@saanichnews.com

OUR VIEW
Tread carefully into new year While many sub-plots will surface in 2013, a potential provincial government change and the return to a two-pronged sales taxation system may have the greatest impact on Capital Region residents. We can expect the B.C. Liberals, using their advantageous position as the party with the ability to make funding announcements – new or simply restated – to keep the pedal to the metal playing catchup to the NDP in advance of the provincial election in May. Facing major budget challenges like all municipal governments, school boards and other public bodies, the Liberals have a tough job to deliver on promises of a brighter future for British Columbians – especially with experts forecasting flat growth for B.C. One area where Greater Victoria will see the seeds of growth, however, is in the shipbuilding and ship repair industry. The development of Seaspan’s facilities in Esquimalt and increased capacity at Victoria Shipyards parallel the training of prospective workers at the nearby Industrial Marine Training and Applied Research Centre. All of us will be affected by the switch back from the 12 per cent harmonized sales tax to the combination of provincial sales tax (seven per cent) and GST (five per cent). While some estimates put household expenses at around $350 higher annually under HST, it remains to be seen whether consumers will save that much money after the change is implemented. People who eat out often may realize the most savings, as the food service industry goes back to charging GST only. Another brighter note is that despite the gloomy predictions, shopping options continue to expand for those with money to spend. Not only does Uptown continue to lease new retail space, the Hillside Centre expansion is moving along, and changes are afoot at Tillicum Mall, with Target coming on board. Like many consumers, however, independent shops and chain stores in other retail centres in places like the West Shore and downtown Victoria hope to hang on and stay positive through an uncertain 2013, as the economy shuffles forward.

and its backers have continued to fund and create new protest groups, quoted without question by credulous B.C. media. Their argument against oil exports centres on the sexy but false premise that Alberta’s “tar sands” somehow uniquely threaten the global climate. Lately, as the size of B.C.’s gas development has become clearer, the protests have started to refocus. Now we hear dire claims about the decades-old technique of “fracking” in gas development, and previously obscure groups are suddenly springing up to protest gas projects. Hollywood is about to gas us with an anti-fracking movie starring Matt Damon. Previews suggest that Promised Land works the usual evil-greedy-capitalist themes, in the Avatar tradition. ForestEthics, Sierra Club and Greenpeace, meanwhile, are campaigning against their original forest preservation deal on B.C.’s Central and North Coast. Sustainable development solutions aren’t good for their business model. If people think a problem is solved, they stop sending money. Meanwhile, the U.S. is surging ahead with its own shale oil and gas boom. Plans are underway for LNG exports from the U.S. to Asia. I think 2013 would be a good year for Canada to start making its own decisions on energy development.

Canada’s policy not political Re: Culture of fear prevails (Letters Dec. 19) First, I fear that Eric Jones is as misguided as the “brainless” Neville Chamberlain who thought he could mediate with Adolf Hitler. Stephen Harper, on the other hand, and as Mr. Jones begrudgingly admits, clearly has the brains to know that terrorists have no interest in mediation/negotiation: the public record clearly shows that ever since Arafat, every attempt Israel has made to negotiate with the Palestinians has been rebuffed by their leaders. Second, I think Mr. Jones’ concern about Canada taking sides and not mediating in this situation is equally misguided. We took sides in Serbia/Croatia, Libya and currently Afghanistan, as did the Brits and the U.S. So, if I follow his logic, that also means our
foreign policy “is now merely a copy” of the U.K.’s as well, rather than just another example of what has long been called the Atlantic Alliance to protect freedom and democracy. Finally, I think it is worth noting that ever since President Obama took office he has been all over the map when it comes to Israel. Stephen Harper, on the other hand, has been absolutely unwavering and steadfast in his support of Israel. And if that isn’t a made in Canada foreign policy, I don’t know what is. So, too bad that Mr. Jones doesn’t like it. I, on the other hand admire Stephen Harper’s courage and policy, even though I just voted Green in the byelection, and Liberal in the last three general elections. Bill Ellis Oak Bay

Guns in schools a bad idea I agree with Wayne LaPierre, vice president of the U.S. National Rifle Association, who, in a statement in the wake of the shootings at a Connecticut school said: “call me crazy to put armed guards in schools.” Yes, he is definitely crazy, as are the many Americans who follow his philosophy. Remember the high profile shooting case (April 1999) at Columbine High School in Colorado? In that scenario, there actually was an armed guard on the scene who tried and failed to stop two students from killing more than a dozen of their classmates and one teacher. I was in the French army in the early ‘60s during the Algerian conflict with France, which was followed by the war against the FLN (Front de Libération Nationale). I know a great deal about guns. This is probably why I don’t own one. In Canada, I don’t see the need for one – it is definitely not necessary. More guns do not solve violence. On the contrary, more guns promotes violence. Unfortunately it seems that too many
Americans love guns more than life itself. I am not against the American people, only the crazy ones like Monsieur LaPierre. Alors … Philippe Bures View Royal

Documentary filmmaker raising money to finish film Kyle Wells News staff
When Krista Loughton set out to make a documentary on homelessness and the struggles of addiction she never imagined how personal the project would become. The film, entitled Us and Them, became so personal, in fact, Loughton had to set it aside for two years after filming before she could tackle the job of editing it. “I basically took a couple of years to just heal myself, to the place where I could actually go back to the footage,” Loughton said. “For a long time I’d try to work on the film and I’d just end up in tears.” Loughton and co-director and director of photography David Malysheff began shooting the documentary in 2006 from an idea Loughton came up with after meeting and becoming close with a number of former addicts when she lived in Vancouver. Through the help of Our Place Society founder Reverend Allen Tysick, the filmmakers met and started to document the lives of four homeless people in Victoria. From 2006 until 2010, the filmmakers followed their
lives as they struggled with happened. And that’s addiction, homelessness and documentary.” their attempts to heal. Ready to once again During this time Loughton approach the film, Loughton is became extremely close with trying to raise enough money her subjects and each became for post-production.

Win or lose, Royals draw Travis Paterson/News staff
Kirby’s Source for Sports employees Mark Walton, left, and Brody Coulter of the Victoria Cougars work a regular shift with Sam Johnston and Sam McMullen, right, of the Saanich Braves.
There’s enough gimmes out there I figure even I can take a shot at one without missing. The Cougars winning the VIJHL trophy is one of them, though I wouldn’t count a healthy Braves roster out of it. As far as my Western League prognostications go, I’ve missed a lot more than I’ve hit with the Royals. This year I stepped out on a limb and predicted 40 wins and a first round playoff exit. Through 33 games the Royals (17-14-0-2) are on pace to win 37, a tad short. If so they’ll certainly make the playoffs, and likely the third place team, currently the Kelowna Rockets (23-10-1-1), for an even series. sports@vicnews.com

Residents still feeling snubbed Continued from Page A1
Martin Scaia, who has been living in a hotel room with his wife and kids since the flood waters filled their basement, agreed with the information in the report, but questioned its value given that he and his neighbours weren’t consulted regarding the report prior to its publication, he said. “I feel, and the neighbours feel, like we were left out in the dark,� Scaia said. “If I was working on my house and I broke my pipes and flooded out my neighbour and he was displaced with young children, I would do everything in my power to right that, especially over Christmas.� Jensen sympathized, but said he had been in contact with Scaia several times post-flood, including on the day of the incident and later when Scaia came to municipal hall for another face-to-face meeting with the mayor. Jensen also maintained the report was intended solely as a review of internal operations for the municipality. “I can understand it’s very stressful,� Jensen said. “I don’t deny it was a very difficult time for residents.� Protocols for activating the Emergency Operating Centre (EOC), coordinated by the Deputy Fire Chief, are also reviewed in the report. The report indicates that by 10 a.m., “(It) should have been obvious that the water flow was out of control and creating a
COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF
Saanich looks at revamping Gyro Park A redevelopment plan for Cadboro-Gyro Park will see development of its own. Saanich is hosting a private facilitated workshop in January to help fine-tune details of the plan for the park, published in June 2011. It could see phase one of the plan add new wheelchair
property damage and potential safety issue. The fire department should have been contacted by this time.� Fire crews were contacted by a worried resident at 11:24 a.m. “It took approximately two hours to get word to the fire department. We know that they should have been called much earlier,� Jensen said. “That kind of delay will never happen again.� The report indicates, “the fire department is to be notified to assist with watermain breaks and flooding as soon as it is apparent that property damage has or is likely to occur and/or if there are personal or public safety issues.� It also recommends the police department be notified to attend the scene. “We regret the damage that was done and the stress that has resulted from this situation,� Jensen said. “The report speaks to how we can do things better in the future and makes recommendations for mitigating the harm to the families whose homes were flooded.� The report calls communication during the event “problematic.� It recommends the Emergency Preparedness Manual section dealing with communications be reviewed and amendments made, and that all staff be made aware of communications issues covered by the manual. The report should be considered by council at its Jan. 14 meeting. editor@oakbaynews.com
access to the beach, and see redevelopment of the walkway along the beach. Before shovels hit the sand, user groups including Saanich Parks, the Cadboro Bay Residents Association’s parks committee, representatives from the UVic and the Boy Scouts will join a discussion into final plans for the 59-year-old park. “I am excited about the potential for making some changes to the park,� said Terry Morrison, vice chair of the CBRA. “This is the first step in producing a long-term devel-
opment plan for the park.� The meeting is not open to the public, but Morrison hopes to take the public input gathered to date to the meeting. He also hopes the public continues to chime in with as much information as possible. “Public input is really what we are looking for,� Morrison said. “We are hoping to direct (it) back into the concept plan and make sure it is a plan everyone can support.� Contact the CBRA at cadborobay.net to add your thoughts.
