Conflict concerns Court ruling makes waves for smaller municipalities
A
For Jackson the toughest part is working on a mannequin. “You have to think of the style and then come up with all the ideas. When you are working on an actual person they can tell you what they want,” said the 17-year-old.
recent court ruling on conflict of interest is starting to have consequences for community organizations, putting some elected officials in a tough spot. During a Colwood council meeting on Feb. 25 Coun. Rob Martin had to leave the room for an agenda item related to West Shore Parks and Recreation Society, for which Martin is the chair. The Jan. 11 court decision states an elected official to be in a conflict of interest Kyle Wells when voting on Reporting decisions related to a society of which they are a member. Previously, elected officials were only perceived to be in a conflict of interest if voting on a motion from which they could benefit financially, directly or indirectly. “From a council standpoint, we don’t want to put ourselves in a difficult position,” Martin said. “So you end up erring on the side of caution and we’re not able to do the work that actually should get done.” Beyond that, councillors now can’t provide information to council on behalf of a board.

f there are a few key secrets to aging well, a nationwide, two-decade survey of Canadians could reveal those truths. Two-time cancer survivor Eric Carswell, 76, has his own rules of thumb. “I don’t smoke or drink, and I used to do both, and there are health effects from both,” he offers.

The drive behind the study is to address the “age tsunami” poised to wash over Canada, according to Holly Tuokko, director for the Centre of Aging at the University of Victoria, one of the partners in the study. The number of people age 65 will double and age 85 will quadruple in the next decade, she said. Understanding factors behind aging well will become increasingly critical for a growing number of Canadians and for policy makers. “For individuals and as a society, we want to know how to age well to keep costs down and to keep quality of life up,” Tuokko said. “(With the CLSA) we’ll be able to look at individuals from how their cells are functioning up to how they function in society. This is ground-breaking in terms of the depth of information.” For details visit clsa-elcv.ca. editor@saanichnews.com

Philanthropy transforms cancer centre B.C. Cancer Agency opens Alex and Jo Campbell Patient and Family Support Centre The B.C. Cancer Agency officially opened the $10-million Alex and Jo Campbell Patient and Family Support Centre yesterday. The centre is a new 10,000-square-foot space atop the B.C. Cancer Agency’s building at 2410 Lee Ave. in Victoria. It will provide cancer patients and their families with comprehensive supportive care, which includes emotional and psychological support resources before, during and after treatment. At the same time, experts will conduct cutting-edge research focused on the psychosocial and clinical aspects of cancer treatment. Fundraising for the project began with the 2009 Inspire the World campaign, to which more than 1,000 Vancouver Island residents and businesses contributed. The new facility includes: Q Alex and Jo Campbell Patient & Family Support Centre: the newly constructed third floor of the B.C. Cancer Agency Vancouver Island Centre is a state-of-theart space dedicated to enhanced supportive care and research. Q Thrifty Foods Patient Information Library: providing patients and their family members with valuable information resources in a comforting environment. Q BMO Nutrition & Exercise Studio: a wellness room for patients to work with specialists on their nutrition and exercise needs as they evolve throughout the cancer journey. Q Norgaard Foundation Family Counselling Suite: a space where children whose family members are going through cancer treatment receive specialized counselling and information support. Q Clive and Ann Piercy Predictive Cancer Research Suite: a place where innovative research takes place, looking at ways to predict who will get cancer, and how a patient will respond to which particular treatment, and why. In 2013, more than 5,000 people on Vancouver Island are expected to be diagnosed with cancer. On an average day, health-care professionals at the B.C. Cancer Agency’s Vancouver Island Centre provide care to approximately 350 patients.
Volunteers including Linda McCully will soon greet arrivals at the new Alex and Jo Campbell Patient and Family Support Centre, located at the B.C. Cancer Agency’s Vancouver Island facility. McCully, who has volunteered with the B.C. Cancer Agency for more than a year, is also a former patient.
Karen Frost, development officer with the B.C. Cancer Agency, relaxes in the family room, a quiet space at the new patient and family support centre. The centre was made possible by donors to the B.C. Cancer Agency’s Inspire the World fundraising campaign four years ago.

OUR VIEW
Study is critical for aging society Relatively safe and without the winter deep-freeze of the rest of Canada, Greater Victoria has long been a haven for retirees and senior citizens. Census data released last year confirmed the numbers are holding strong among those reaching their golden years – more than a quarter of the region’s residents are 65 and older. On the heels of those already considered seniors, the expected large number of baby boomers entering retirement age is a phenomenon being referred to as the “grey wave” or “grey tsunami.” It will have deep ramifications on our health care, public pension systems and society as a whole. So it makes sense Victoria was chosen as a data collection site for a nationwide study on aging, a study as ambitious, vast and deep as any research project ever contemplated in Canada. More than a decade in the making, the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging plans to track the health and lives of 50,000 people across Canada aged 45 to 85, for 20 years, or as long as possible. Victoria’s participation in the study is expected to be about 3,000 people over the first three-year cycle. At that point, the interviews and testing will begin again, ideally with as many of the same people as they started with. The object of the study is to allow researchers to fundamentally connect the dots between lifestyle, personal finances, diet, environment and genetics, and overall health. We have a greater proportion of people reaching traditional retirement age, and in general, people are living longer. As a society we have an obligation to figure out how to age well, and do so without bankrupting the health-care system. This study probably should have been done 20 years ago. So far about 330 people the region have signed up to participate and thousands more will be randomly called to volunteer in the study. The data collection process can be lengthy and feel somewhat intrusive measured against what people normally tell strangers. But those who answer the call to volunteer their medical and personal information know they are helping future generations answer important questions about how to improve the quality of life of all Canadians.
Contributions of residents will help population age well

The United States will still be a big buyer of Canadian oil. We’re shipping about two and a half million barrels a day, of which a million comes from the oil sands. Right now we’re losing about $50 million a day because of the crude oil bottleneck in the U.S. midwest, compared to international prices. We absolutely must find new markets, which is why our government in principle is supporting the transport of oil and gas to the west, to the east, continuing to the south and possibly even the north.

LETTERS Colwood needs to come clean about sewage costs In the March 1 edition of the Gazette, Colwood Mayor Carol Hamilton complains about the “excessive and unexpected” costs that the CRD will levy on Colwood this year to cover its share of the initial capital costs of the project. She makes it sound like this charge and the impact that it will have on the taxpayers of Colwood is something that she and the rest of council have been blindsided by. How can that be after so many meeting at the CRD over the last few years that were attended by a Colwood representative? And the impact that this project will have on Colwood and even Langford taxpayers, goes far beyond
what has been identified in this article. Colwood council knows this. I have yet to hear or see any information provided by Colwood on the following topic: In addition to paying a sewer user fee all the homeowners who are currently on septic will have to pay an up front cost for a service connection fee, on site sewer pipe installation and septic tank decommissioning. And more than likely, additional costs to repair the street surface and other miscellaneous restoration beyond the limits of the sewer trench. How will the citizens of Colwood pay for these additional costs other than borrowing through lines of credit and remortgaging homes?
Mayor Hamilton correctly states that “this will hurt real estate in the community” and “there is a ripple effect of extreme proportions with this formula”. Even though Colwood representatives should have been aggressively and correctly criticizing this insane sewer treatment project from its inception, they still have time to provide a complete report on the financial impact this project will have on its citizens. In my opinion, if they don’t do this as soon as possible the backlash from Colwood taxpayers could end up being unmanageable. Ian Phillips Langford

Readers respond: arts centre, traffic, Fletcher New performing arts centre a good thing
Fletcher’s science passes the test
I think it is a great idea to have a new performing arts center out in the West Shore. Royal Bay is a good area I think, however I hope that we as a community have our priorities straight and build the new high schools first. It is not fair that public school children should continue to suffer the conditions at Belmont secondary school, as evidenced by their walkout demonstration in the spring of 2011.

Re: Climate change science not ‘pseudo-science’ (Letters, Feb. 27). I read Jill Leslie’s comment about Tom Fletcher, and his ‘pseudo-science’. Has Jill misunderstood Fletcher, or does he just get in the way of her particular movement? B.C. Citizens for Green Energy express themselves as “a volunteer group representing a cross-section of British Columbians concerned about our province’s energy future — specifically our clean, green, renewable electricity future.” This group is promoting green energy thru runof-river hydro, wind power, geothermal, biomass, wave, tidal and solar energy. Here is what they think about Fletcher: “We have to confess: We’re big fans of legislative reporter and columnist Tom Fletcher. He never fails to do his research and he always cuts to the heart of a matter; illuminating folly and fools with his sharp wit, his logic and his dry humor. In short: He knows his stuff.” Science can be susceptible to different interpretations. I believe Fletcher upsets scientists, because he does not allow them to skew facts, or
Roundabout possible intersection solution If changes are planned at the intersection of Island Highway and Admirals Road why not put a roundabout at this location? As drivers in many countries have discovered a long time ago roundabouts make sense – the traffic is flowing and there is less pollution. Putting up more signs gets even more confusing and it looks ugly. There are already too many signs all along Craigflower Road. Hiltrud Heckl Highlands

hide data that does not support their particular theories. Scientists on both sides of most issues will do just that. They are not gods with inclinations toward positive morals and ethics. They are human. As humans, they are open to error and bribery. As for this column, Fletcher makes a quip about the pseudo-science against Alberta oil, which is now starting in on BC natural gas. He is not questioning what is being targeted, but how it is being targeted. When the Keystone pipeline is completed, Alberta tar sands will move down to the States and the excess sold off through the Gulf of Mexico. The resource is still harvested. But a group of people greased a few pockets, or an international protest movement, and could possibly control a Canadian resource and its price. All because they have manipulated science and activists to possibly knock out their opponent. Todd Stewart View Royal
Free, open debate essential for truth Now here’s irony. Using freedom of the press, Jill Leslie calls for suppression
of columnist Tom Fletcher’s opinions. Well, Tom can handle himself. He, and all of us, owe much to John Milton, who nearly 400 years ago said it all. Let truth and falsehood fight it out, he argued. Truth always wins. Bill Stavdal View Royal

Vision Matters Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.
Dr. Cameron McCrodan, Dr. Brent Morrison, Dr. Ann-Marie Stewart and Dr. Chris Snow
Eye Injuries At this time of year, our thoughts turn to activities such as outdoor sports and gardening. This week’s column focuses on the two most common serious eye injuries. In the first instance, we have a traumatic eye injury. A blow to the eye can lead to loss of vision, immediate medical attention is necessary to give the injured person the best chance for a full recovery. Keep the individual quiet and assess the solution. DO NOT attempt to remove debris from the eye or rinse the eye. DO NOT attempt to open the eye or put any medication on or around the eye. The second emergency, a chemical burn, requires very different handling. The patient must be immediately taken to the nearest source of fresh water, the eye forced open and thoroughly flushed. Seek medical attention only after extensive flushing of the affected eye or while the flushing continues. With a chemical burn, saving a few seconds may save a person’s vision. Two common injuries have two very different management strategies. Have a safe summer. Don’t forget to protect your eyes.

Helping seniors out of homelessness Jennifer Blyth Black Press
Safe, secure housing plays a significant role in people’s health and wellness, both physical and emotional. It becomes even more crucial among the senior population, whose bodies are less resilient to the daily stress of finding a bed for the night or a place to be out of the wind and rain. “Homelessness exacerbates problems, and as you age, these problems become even more acute,� notes Victoria Cool Aid Society Executive Director Kathy Stinson. Even approaching the issue from a purely economic perspective, the impact of homelessness increases health care costs, both from chronic illness and emergency room visits. And it’s a growing concern. Just as aging Baby Boomers are increasing the number of seniors in the general population, the senior demographic is also increasing among the homeless and precariously housed. For example, according to the 2011/12 Report on Housing & Supports published by the Coalition to End Homelessness, those age 56 and older represented 12 per cent of the emergency shelter clients in 2011/12, up from 10 per cent in 2010/11. Further, close to one-third of the 450 applicants on the Housing Registry list as of March 31, 2012 were seniors. It’s also suspected that there’s a significant hidden population of seniors living in poverty who don’t want to come forward because of the stigma. The death of a spouse, illness or job loss, however, can seriously impact what little resources they have.
Ross Westerby has been a tenant at Cool Aid’s Olympic Vista for two years. Poverty among seniors appears in other ways as well. The Report on Housing & Supports also found that 7.2 per cent of households accessing food banks in 2011 were seniors – an increase of 2.2 per cent from 2010. The good news is that the social services community has taken proven, cost-effective measures to provide truly affordable housing for seniors. The Victoria Cool Aid Society operates three supported residential housing developments specifically for those age 56 or older, Stinson says. The 45-unit Hillside Terrace offers fully assisted living, while both FairWay Woods in Langford and the recently opened Olympic Vista in Saanich offer supportive housing,
including one meal a day. A fourth site in Saanich is currently in the wings and will provide another 43 units. In the case of Olympic Vista, located on the former school district site on Carey Road, the society has re-purposed the modular buildings from the Vancouver Olympics to provide quality, affordable senior housing. At the same time, “we could probably fill three more (housing developments) if we had them,� Stinson says. What more can be done? “I think the public can certainly ask the government to step up to the plate,� Stinson says. In addition, “they can support projects when they come to their neighbourhood; be a YIMBY – YES In My Back Yard.�
How can you help?
Did you know? s Seniors (age 56 and older) represented 12 per cent of the Emergency Shelter Clients in 2011/12, up from 10 per cent in 2010/11. s APPLICANTS ON THE (OUSING 2EGISTRY LIST AS OF March 31, 2012 were seniors – 29 per cent of THE TOTAL APPLICANTS ON THE (OUSING 2EGISTRY .OT ALL APPLICANT HOUSEHOLDS ON THE (OUSING 2EGISTRY are unhoused, but it is a good indicator s PER CENT OF HOUSEHOLDS ACCESSING FOOD BANKS in 2011 were seniors – up 2.2 per cent from 2010.

Prevention Fund helps those at risk of homelessness The Victoria Foundation has been working with the Coalition to End Homelessness since 2010 on the Homelessness Prevention Fund, which has been instrumental in supporting at-risk individuals and families. For the foundation, the fund responds to its Vital Signs report, which clearly identified poverty and homelessness as key concerns for many Greater Victorians, says Victoria Foundation CEO Sandra Richardson. Greater Victoria’s high cost of living means many people are living frugally to make ends meet, but when the unexpected happens, like a job loss, illness, or even a higher-than-usual Hydro bill, people who were holding it together suddenly face the possibility of homelessness. That’s where the fund can help. “It provides an opportunity where people can receive some immediate funding to carry them over,� Richardson explains. In addition, financial counsellors can work with them to see if there’s other steps or programs that can help ease the situation. The Homelessness Prevention Fund, which is held by the Victoria Foundation but administered by the Coalition, was launched with a $50,000 private grant, whose donor challenged others in the community to contribute. The total reached an amazing $162,743. “People really like the concept of prevention,� Richardson explains. As of Dec. 31, $97,000 had been distributed to 148 individuals and 57 families since 2011, with about eight grants typically issued per month. “It really is a wonderful fund and for us as a community foundation, we want to look at the prevention side of the issue,� Richardson says, pointing to other programs as such as Every Step Counts, a fitness program through Our Place, and the youth fitness program Building Blocks of Physical Literacy at the Cridge Centre for the Family and Craigflower Elementary. “There are so many wonderful stories now because of the work of these groups,� Richardson says. “The community is really coming together on this. This fund and several others are indicators that people want to help, and especially in preventive measures. “I take my hat off to the Coalition as well – they have done a wonderful job.� Donations to the Homelessness Prevention Fund are welcome. People can call the Victoria Foundation at 250-381-5532 for more information or donate online at www.victoriafoundation.bc.ca, indicating that they would like their donation to support the specific fund.
Unacceptable. It’s hard to have hope when you don’t have a home. If you agree that homelessness is unacceptable, tweet #unacceptableyyj to @homeforhope and go to our Facebook page to spread the word and end homelessness in our community.

“We’re appointed by council to be on that (board) so that we can report back,” Martin said. “Council is now in a position that they’re not able to actually hear from their own board members about why financial decisions are being asked.” Langford has three councillors on the West Shore Parks and Recreation board, who will now have to excuse themselves from related decisions. That leaves four people, the minimum needed for quorum, and all would have to vote unanimously for anything to pass. Coun. Lanny Seaton, who sits on the WSPR board, said he and the others will remove themselves from financial decisions council makes in relation to the society. He said the ruling shouldn’t cause many problems for Langford, but sees potential problems “I don’t know for smaller communities. “It kind of affects how you draw the them more because lines with what’s there’s more societies,” Seaton said. “I don’t been done here. think there’s anything to We’re sort of caught worry about. The lawyers advised us not to in the crossfire.” do anything and that’s – Al Richmond what we’re doing, we’re just not voting on anything to do with money.” Al Richmond, third vice president for the Union of British Columbia Municipalities and chair of the Cariboo Regional District, said a number of elected officials are resigning from boards to avoid conflict of interest. The case on which the decision is related, involving Islands Trust on Salt Spring Island, is a unique one, Richmond said, and he’s concerned to see its far-reaching implications. “I don’t know how you draw the lines with what’s been done here,” Richmond said. “We’re sort of caught in the crossfire.” He agreed communities where elected officials serve on more groups and societies will suffer. “People in the smaller communities wear many different hats,” Richmond said. “Volunteer groups, non-profit groups are losing some very hardworking folks on some of their boards.” Members of UBCM plan to meet with provincial officials to look at a potential solution at the legislative level. The executive and membership will have upcoming opportunities to discuss the issue and figure out further responses. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Bright future ahead for Neon Steve Megan Cole News staff
As a crowd of neon covered bodies moved on the forest floor – that for five days became one of electronic music’s most popular venues – the DJ in the booth was experiencing what can best be described as life coming full circle. At 25, Steve Robertson, better known as Neon Steve, has shared the stage with some of the best names in the genre, but last year as he took the stage at Shambhala Music Festival’s Fractal Forest in Salmo, B.C. for the first time, he was back where his journey as a DJ started. “It was crazy,” said Robertson. “It was this weird feeling of coming back around. If you had told me five years ago that I would be there, I would have just laughed.” Robertson had never touched a set of turntables until he went to Shambhala – which focuses on electronic music – after he graduated from high school. Not only had he never DJd before that point, he also hadn’t really been exposed to the genre at all. “I grew up listening to rock and classic rock mostly,” said the Victoria-based DJ. “My dad was in a band, and is a rock and roller. I tried to play instruments but I’m the only one in the entire family of cousins and everybody that doesn’t play an instrument.” Within a few months of returning from Shambhala, Robertson bought turntables and secured himself a residency at a club in Courtenay, where he grew up. As demand was building for Robertson’s music in Victoria and after driving back and forth to Courtenay after too many shows, he decided to relocate. “I was working construction and just hating it,” he said. “I finally took the leap of faith two years ago and quit my job,”

Vancouver Island’s Neon Steve is helping bring electronic music into the mainstream. he said. “I saved up enough money so I could just coast and I thought that I was only going to last about three months without working, but I haven’t been back since.”
Instead, Robertson has been building a career which includes supporting DJs like U.K.’s Nero, who won a 2012 Grammy for a collaborative remix with Skrillex, and A Skillz, who was named Best DJ in 2012 by the Breakspoll International Breakbeat Awards. He toured across Canada and last May toured the U.K. and Europe. “Everytime I head out on the road the crowds get a bit bigger,” he said. “It’s just like any job, you have to put your time in. I’ve been to a lot of the cities before, which helps, and Shambhala helps too. As soon as they put that on the flyer people are interested, which is a lucky break.” In addition to the increasing recognition of his music, Robertson also believes the change in the electronic music genre, which is seeing more DJs working in mainstream music, is creating more fans. “Electronic music and DJing wasn’t very accepted before, but now the general public doesn’t really frown on it anymore,” he said. “I know back in the day, parents thought kids were crazy going to raves, now it’s becoming the norm. “Even though it’s cool, the market is getting flooded too. Everybody and their dog is a DJ now which makes it harder to stand out.” As crowds continue to flock to venues in Victoria and across the country to hear Robertson’s distinct blend of ‘80s, ‘90s and current tracks, it’s clear he is doing something to stand out. “I’m just trying to stay true,” he said. “I don’t know if I do stand out, I hope I do. If I do it’s just luck,” he said. Though Robertson is on a Canada-wide tour for March and April, he’ll be in Victoria on March 31 opening for Subvert at Club 9one9. mcole@oakbaynews.com

Winnipeg-based Ingrid Gatin visits Victoria this week.
ARTS LISTINGS IN BRIEF
The music of mass Join the Linden Singers for their concert featuring soprano soloist Anne Grimm. The concert, Sanctus!
Winnipeg-based musician Ingrid Gatin started to weave herself into Canada’s artistic landscape in 2009, with her first full-length album Broken Tambourine. After gaining attention from CBC radio, Broken Tambourine entered the top 20 on Earshot Charts soon after its release. Gatin’s new full-length album 1000 Lives, released last month, was created with grammy-nominated engineer/producer Howard Bilerman between a loft and a church in Winnipeg and Bilerman’s studio in MontrÊal. 1000 Lives is an introspective tale of love and freedom compiled over Gatin’s last three years of travel. Reawakening an old-world sound with piano and accordion, while maintaining a modern glow, Gatin is a regular at folk festivals across the country. She is currently touring Canada to promote her new release. Gatin will be in Victoria on March 8 playing a show at The Solstice Cafe with Beat Roots (members of The Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra). llavin@vicnews.com

Rock the Shores is coming back to the West Shore and this year it’s expanding to a two-day event over the weekend of July 13 and 14. So far one band has been announced, Weezer, but Atomique Productions director and co-owner Nick Blasko said more acts will be announced in the coming weeks, with the next announcement likely next week. “We go through all the effort of building the infrastructure and getting up the site,” Blasko said, “and it’s such a great spot for a concert, that it’d be nice to do it for two days.” Blasko said details are being finalized but audiences can expect eight to 10 bands per day of the festival, with each day likely running from early afternoon into the evening. Atomique is working on improving some of the issues from last year’s event, including long lineups and a lack of food and water vendors. “We’re dealing with all of them, right out of the gate,” Blasko said. “We’re excited about it and everyone at (West Shore Parks and Recreation) is really excited and supportive, so it feels like we’re going into what should be a great year.” kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Bays, Belmont in challenge game Travis Paterson News staff
The Claremont Spartans are Island champs, having beaten the Oak Bay Bays for the second time in as many Saturdays to win the AAA boys Island basketball championship, 61-52. Spartans guard Mason Loewen was named MVP of the tournament, which was hosted by Mount Douglas secondary. Claremont’s Alex Jordache and Oak Bay’s Mat Hampton were their teams’ respective player of the game for the final. Loewen led the Spartans with 15 points in the final, while Hampton scored 23 and Liam Horne 20 for Oak Bay. Only three players did all the scoring for the Bays, with Jake Miller getting the other eight points. Eight players scored for the Spartans. “Every time (we play Oak Bay) it’s a battle,” said Spartans coach Davey Sundher. “We said, ‘the team that wins the defensive rebound battle probably wins the game,’ and we did. We knew the game would depend on timely rebounds.” The game was tied going into the second quarter when Yvan Atemgova of the Spartans stole the ball from Bays guard Liam Horne and ran it in for a layup.
Travis Paterson/News staff
Oak Bay Bays player Lars Bornemann chases Claremont Spartans guard Alex Jordache to the ground for a loose ball. Jordache scored 10 points and was part of the Spartans prolific defence as the Spartans won the Island final 61-52 on Saturday. That sparked a 20-6 run by the Spartans, which ended the first half ahead 35-21. It was Atemgova’s only basket of the game but his superb defence, combined with that from Jordache (10 points), stymied the Bays’ attack. “It’s such a great feeling to do it with these guys,” Jordache said. “The job’s not done, we want pro-
vincials, but it’s nice to enjoy the moment.” Jordache, like his Oak Bay counterpart Horne, endured nothing short of physical harassment, but the hard fouls couldn’t keep either from their game. “I try to keep my emotions under control, maybe sometimes it shows,” Jordache said. “Oak Bay played hard and I respect
them. They’re a good team.” In the last week Jordache has been named to the city all-star team and to the weekend’s Island second all-star team.

Breaking out Travis Paterson News staff
The Oak Bay Breakers senior basketball team are the Island champs for a reason. They’re led by two of the brightest young players in the province, Grade 10s Morgan Roskelley and Lauren Yearwood. This week the two will receive a lot of attention as the Breakers look to finish top three at the AAA High School Girls Basketball Provincial Championships, beginning today (March 6) through Saturday at the Langley Events Centre. But the dynamic duo of Roskelly at guard and Yearwood under the post garner so much attention, on the court and in the media, that the Breakers secret weapon will be right up front. “We have 10 Grade 11s that won last year’s junior provincial championship together,” says Breakers coach Rob Kinnear. “Roskelly is a special player, and Yearwood too, but we have a strong bench of Grade 11s, including Marissa Harrington, Ashley Dukeshire and Chloe Campbell,
who go unnoticed,” he said. Among them is Maddie Brunt, a track and cross country star in the making, who transitions well on the hard court. “Dukeshire (and Harrington) played for Team B.C. last summer and Dukshire’s not even in the startTravis Paterson/News staff ing five,” Kinnear said.

SPORTS NEWS IN BRIEF Vikes men headed to CIS championships The UVic Vikes men’s basketball team made a playoff run that fell just short of a Canada West title, as the UBC Thunderbirds prevailed 79-62 at UBC on Saturday (March 2). Both teams are in Ottawa this week in the eight-team CIS national championships as the Vikes chase their ninth CIS title. Game 1 is Friday (March 9) versus the country’s No. 1-ranked Carleton Ravens (19-1). Perhaps fittingly, the Vikes and Ravens share the lead with eight CIS titles. The Vikes last appeared at the CIS championships in 2006, a 73-67 loss in that final to the Ravens. “We are certainly very happy to still be playing at this time of the year,” said Vikes head coach Craig Beaucamp, who was named Canada West’s 2013 Coach of the Year. Tip off is 5 p.m. The game will be streamed live at http://cis-sic.tv.
Chargers suffer early exits from PacWest championships The Camosun Chargers men’s and women’s teams were each eliminated in the quarterfinals of the PacWest basketball championships at PISE on Thursday (Feb. 28). On Saturday the Langara Falcons won the men’s title and V.I. Mariners won the women’s title.

Cougars power up for Braves Discipline key for Braves Travis Paterson News staff
It’s the series many wished to see, as the powerhouse Victoria Cougars are taking on the only team to beat them in regulation this season, the Saanich Braves. And it started Sunday (March 3) with a 5-1 Cougars’ win at Archie Browning Sports Centre. But all is not what it seems. “The score wasn’t reflective of the game, it was more of a 1-0 goal game,” said Cougars assistant coach Suneil Karod. “They’re a strong team and they’re going to retool. We have to be ready.” Game 2 was Monday at Pearkes. Results were past press time. Visit vicnews.com/sports for updates. Game 3 is Thursday, 7 p.m. at Archie Browning, and Game 4, 6:30 p.m. at Pearkes on Friday. The Cougars took the lead early on Sunday with a power play goal by Ben Kinshella. The rest of the first period played out evenly until, with 90 seconds left and each team at four skaters aside, Cougars defenceman Brandon Egli slapped one past Braves goalie
Tanner McGaw to make it 2-0. Nathan Chen-Mack scored three minutes into the second to make it 3-0. Though it looked liked the Braves wouldn’t recover, they nearly did. “Once we got ahead and it was status quo, no one really taking any chances,” Karod said. “I thought the Braves had the better scoring chances in the last two periods, we just made the most of our opportunities.” “Actually our penalty kill was pretty good,” said Braves assistant captain Sam McMullen. “We know (the Cougars) have an unreal power play and it only scored two goals. But we’ve got to stop taking penalties in the offensive zone and when we’re on the power play.” The Braves started the second period two men short due to a bench minor as the first period ended. Though the Braves survived the penalty, it hurt their chances of starting strong in the second. “It’s frustrating when you don’t see the calls going your way, but you’re wasting your energy if you yell at the ref. I’ve never seen a ref change his call by being yelled at,” McMullen said. “We need to control what we can control.” The Braves started the third period with a goal from Max
Watch for other exciting contests at:
Mois, when he tipped a pass in from Josh Gray. But the Braves couldn’t beat Cougars netminder Evan Roch, who made 19 saves on 21 shots. With two minutes left the Braves lost their discipline and sat back. It allowed Mark Walton to score a power play goal and defenceman Graham Zagrodney to score a short-handed breakaway, sealing it for the Cougars. For Egli, a midseason Victoria Grizzlies cut, the second-goal of the game was his first since returning after a month off with an inconclusive upper body injury. “There was some second opinions sought, we didn’t really find out what (the injury) was,” he said. Ultimately, it just needed time. “(It) felt good enough getting the goal. I’ve just jumped back into the game here and still getting my rhythm.” The Cougars only non-healthy scratch on Sunday was veteran defenceman Rhys Williams who is due back for Monday. The Braves were without big defenceman Brandon Parmar on Sunday. The Nanaimo Bucaneers and Comox Valley Glacier Kings started the North division final on Tuesday. sports@vicnews.com

Become a Psychiatric Nurse in your own community There is an urgent need for more Registered Psychiatric Nurses (RPN), particularly outside the urban areas of the province. And with the workforce aging – the average age of a Registered Psychiatric Nurse in BC is 47 years – the number of retirees from the profession is exceeding the number of graduates. Entry-level earnings start at $30.79/hour to $40.42/hour. Train Locally – The only program of its kind in BC, students can learn within their local communities via distance education, local and/or regional clinical placements, and some regional classroom delivery. This 23 month program is accredited by the College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of BC (CRPNBC). Government student loans, Employment & Labour Market Services (ELMS), band funding & other financing options available to qualified applicants.
