RCMP seek hit-and-run SUV driver

Island Owned and Operated..

Police are looking for the driver of a black or grey SUV that hit two members of a road work crew Tuesday on Bear Mountain. On Nov. 5 around 6:30 p.m. a 53-year-old woman was hit after a driver ignored her signal that he stop at the intersection of Players Drive and Bear Mountain Parkway. When the SUV didn’t stop, the flagger called for assistance from co-workers. The driver then said something to the woman and drove into her arm, injuring that shoulder. The SUV then struck another crew member a 30-yearold man in the shoulder and knee.

“The vehicle turned left off of Players Drive up on Bear Mountain Parkway. The vehicle travelled on the wrong side of the road, crossed the centre median and took off at a high rate of speed,” said Cst. Sarah Beckett of West Shore RCMP. RCMP were unable to locate the vehicle and driver and are actively searching for both. Both road crew members were taken to Victoria General Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Police ask anyone with information to call the detachment at 250-474-2264. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Saanich cops negoiate man from bedroom A 33-year-old man who may have threatened his mother Tuesday morning barricaded himself in a bedroom for three hours while Saanich police tried to coax him out. The man’s mother locked herself in her bedroom around 8:30 a.m. and called police, due to her son acting “erratically” and possibly in a threatening manner.

Officers entered the apartment at 150 Gorge Rd. West to find the son locked in his room and refusing to come out. The man is known to police and has a history of violence, said Sgt. Steve Eassie. The regional emergency response team didn’t attend the Gorge Road incident, as it was already tied up at a standoff in James Bay.

Officers negotiated with the man through the door until he came out at about 11:30 a.m. Eassie said he didn’t know what finally prompted his co-operation. Police suspect he has mental health problems or was suffering from a drug-induced psychosis. Nobody was injured during the standoff. editor@saanichnews.com

Langford woman honours family Charla Huber News staff

On Remembrance Day Madeline Dent cries. She sheds tears for relatives. She cries in honour of the veterans who fought for her freedom. “It’s a day I cry a lot,” said Madeline, tearing up just at the thought. “It’s a time to reflect back on the freedom we have, and for those who died fighting for it.” Monday marks the first time the new Langford resident will attend the Nov. 11 ceremonies at Veteran’s Memorial Park. “I hope there are veterans sharing their stories. If they do that, I will listen to every last word,” she said. Her family war tale starts at the age of nine. “My mother’s brother died in World War II two hours before armistice was declared,” she explained. Prior to his death, Romeo Ciccone sent gifts to Madeline and her siblings and letters to his sister, their mother. “He did write back and forth and he was very thoughtful,” Madeline said. Ciccone was 27 when he died on May 4, 1945. He enlisted in the

Madeline Dent will remember her many relatives who served in the First and Second World Wars on Nov. 11 at Veterans Memorial Park. army in February 1942 and served in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada Unit. He was buried in the Holten Canadian War Cemetery in Germany. More than a decade later, Madeline met her husband, Norman Dent in 1955 while working at the

Canadian Pacific Railway Station in Vancouver. She answered phones and booked reservations and Norman was a red cap, helping passengers with their luggage. Her late husband Norman, his four siblings and both his parents were all involved in military and

serving their country. From 1947 to 1948 Norman was stationed in Esquimalt and travelled to Europe working in England and Scotland. “He wanted to be a pilot but they assigned him to be a radio technician,” Madeline said. Norman was following in his father’s footsteps; Walter Dent, served in both the First and Second World Wars. When Walter joined the military he forged his birth certificate because legally he was too young to join. Years later Norman’s fraternal twin brother, Hartley Dent, then 15, also lied about his age to join the forces. Even after the war some Dents endured injuries that never healed serving as a reminder of the time they served. “Ronald (Dent) had back pain so bad after, he sometimes couldn’t even drive a car,” Madeline said. Madeline, who volunteers as a patient visitor at Victoria General Hospital and at the Priory, leading old-fashioned sing-a-longs, will be among those taking a moment at the cenotaph Monday. It’s likely she’ll cry. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Remembrance Day remains about awareness Tim Collins News contributor

movement to re-imagine Nov. 11 appears to be nibbling away at the foundation of Canada’s day of remembrance – a day set aside to honour those who have sacrificed their lives for our

country. One of these movements involves the distribution of white poppies, says Inga Kruse, executive director of the Royal Canadian Legion B.C./Yukon Command. It’s an idea started in Britain in 1933 as a protest against wars of any kind. With the rise of fascism in Europe soon after, the idea never took hold. Its resurgence now, though, has Kruse baffled. “It demonstrates a tremendous naivety and misunderstanding of the red poppy,” she said. Capt. (N) Luc Cassivi, commanding officer at CFB Esquimalt, knows Nov. 11 doesn’t resonate with some young people the way it once did but insists the day has lost none of its relevance. “(Remembrance Day) is about keeping alive in the minds of the young how we’ve gotten to where we are today. You can’t shy away from your responsibility to do the right thing when the time comes,” Cassivi said. “There’s still a need for the human race to

“There’s still a need for the human race to answer the pleas of others … to give them the same freedom we enjoy and stand against the darker side of humanity.” – Luc Cassivi

answer the pleas of others … to give them the same freedom we enjoy and stand against the darker side of humanity. Use this day to remember that and honour those who have already made that sacrifice.” Victoria High student Ashley Rourke, 17, agrees and said she understands the sacrifices military members make. “I have a couple of friends whose dads served in the army and I know how hard it was for them,” Rourke said. “Canada should be proud of what we do in the world. Remembrance Day is a day to show that pride.” Perhaps no one understands that position better than Tim Garthside, a 29-year-old veteran of the Afghanistan war. For him, Remembrance Day is about awareness that people like him have willingly gone into

harm’s way and sacrificed themselves to protect the interests and moral imperatives of Canadians. He said Canadians should embrace Remembrance Day and respect that sacrifice, but that the remembrance should extend beyond Nov. 11. “Nov. 12 rolls around and it seems as though most people just go straight back on with their lives with little to no understanding that I don’t go through a day that I don’t think about those who have fallen and those who are still suffering – that I couldn’t forget if I tried,” Garthside said. The challenge may be rooted in numbers. “During the ‘great wars’, everybody knew someone who was serving … often who had died,” Kruse said. “Today’s conflicts aren’t like that, but the sacrifices of the men and women who serve are no less.” Kruse said that she feels that there is an opportunity to redefine Nov. 11 as a day when we acknowledge that there are and always have been people willing to protect what Canadians hold dear. “We should never forget that there’s a cost to our freedom and ideals,” she said. “This is the second Canada Day. It’s the day we thank those who sacrifice so that we can live in peace.” editor@vicnews.com

Island Health peeks into the future Influencing factors of five-year plan include population growth, aging

sland Health is thinking about the future and wants the public’s input on what direction it needs to take. The health jurisdiction, also known as Vancouver Island Health Authority, is developing a new five-year plan to help guide its activities on the road to 2018. “We do it periodically and it provides us with a strong sense of where we’re going, what our focus and priorities are,” said Island Health spokesperson Sarah Plank. “It helps to guide the decisions that we make around health-care delivery across Kyle Wells the region.” Reporting The authority has already identified what it sees as the pressing issues coming into the next five years. Population growth, changes and aging are all seen as factors which will influence how health care is delivered in the future. The population of the Island is expected to rise in general, and especially in specific communities. The rapid growth of the West Shore, for instance, is cited as an upcoming challenge, with the population expected to grow by 10 per cent by 2018. Other areas, such as the West Coast of Vancouver Island are expected to decrease in population, by about 3.5 per cent.

“We want to hear their thoughts about the opportunities and challenges we’re facing,” Plank said. “In every community there will be different issues that will be important and that will be prominent. It’s not a cookie cutter, we need to tailor the services that we’re providing.” Community open houses are being held throughout Vancouver Island, as well as Salt Spring Island. Open houses will be held in Vic-

These fluctuations could lead to a need to change the delivery model and shift services from certain areas of the Island to others. The “uneven distribution of health,” as an Island Health backgrounder on the process calls it, is another concern. Life expectancy for First Nations people is six years shorter than for other residents and the rates for chronic disease are higher.

“In every community there will be different issues that will be important and that will be prominent. It’s not a cookie cutter, we need to tailor the services that we’re providing.” –Sarah Plank

Remote and rural communities also have a lower life expectancy, particularly the North Island and the Port Alberni area. In these communities the rates for external causes of death, such as accidental poisoning, suicide and car crashes, along with alcohol and drug-related death rates are more than double the average for the province. “There are a few challenges,” Plank said. “We want to do things better and we also want to do better things, to make sure what we’re doing is having the greatest impact.” Island Health is now turning to the public for input on the already identified areas of interest, as well as new ideas on the needs of specific regions.

Victoria nurses rally against care changes Kyle Wells News staff

Nurses gathered at Victoria General Hospital Wednesday morning to show opposition to changes they say could affect the most vulnerable patients. Amidst cries of “shame” and unapologetic condemnations of Island Health from the crowd, nurse representatives spoke of decreased care for patients and deceptive rollout tactics from the health authority. Island Health plans to bring in a new patient care delivery model in January that will see care aide workers take over some of the duties of nurses for longterm patients with serious illnesses in Victoria hospitals. Island Health says no nurses will lose their jobs with the change, they will instead be reassigned to different departments or duties. B.C. Nurses Union communication officer David Cubberley said the first the union heard of the changes was in Nanaimo about four months ago, where the new model is now in place. By the unions numbers, the roles of 26 nurses were replaced by care aide workers. “It’s not a simple reformatting of the care teams, it’s a replacing of a number of professional nurses with unlicensed care aides,” Cubberley said. “The

Video online www.VicNews.com nurses don’t believe that patient safety is going to be protected.” The issue, said Cubberley, is these patients will still require a lot of attention from nurses, who are able to perform tasks care aides are not. Therefore Island Health is asking fewer nurses to do more work, a burden nurses fear will impact patient care. “It basically doubles the patient load the remaining nurses have to carry,” Cubberley said. “They were already run off their feet.” The same changes are planned for Victoria-area hospitals, which will see the duties of 122 nurses on 23 units filled by care aides, according to numbers from the union. Island Health’s executive leader for the care delivery model redesign, Rita den Otter, said the shift is intended to support nurses and free them from certain duties to allow them to concentrate on others. “To be able to meet (patients) needs and make sure we have the right staffing in place,” she said. “That requires a different kind of team approach.” At the rally, speakers declared the changes in Nanaimo a failure, saying nurses are overrun and taking sick days for stress.

Den Otter said this is not the case, that sick calls have not increased, that nurses are not looking after twice as many patients and that patient care levels remain the same. She attributes the nurses’ reaction to a fear of change. Once the different model is in place and running smoothly, den Otter is confident nurses will see that it works. “That’s a worry for a lot of nurses, ‘how are we going to do this differently,’” den Otter said. “The teams are learning to work together in a different way.” Victoria General Hospital union steward Fiona Dunn said any way you cut it the change is bad for nurses and bad for patients. She believes there’s no possible way a health care aide can do all that a nurse does for patients. “One of the medical units, they’re replacing all the LPNs, they’re no longer on the units,” Dunn said. “There’s hundreds of assessments that we make within a five-minute bedside assessment on a patient.” The union is asking Island Health to halt the rollout and have an independent expert review the care model to address safety concerns. The union is circulating a petition to present to Island Health. It currently has about 7,500 names and continues to circulate. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW

Will Canada remember them? On Monday, when people honour our fallen soldiers of wars long past and those serving in uniform now, Canadians will need to start thinking about the future of Remembrance Day, and how it will remain connected to new generations. Memories and stories of the First World War now entirely reside in photos, films and text. Those with living memories of D-Day or hunting U-boats on the Atlantic or fighting on the Korean Peninsula become fewer every year. There will be a future not far off when students in Victoria won’t be able to hear first hand from veterans of the Second World War and the Korean War why they fought regimes bent on blood conquest and enslaving others. More recently, Canadians fought and died in the mountains and badlands of Afghanistan, trying nobly but perhaps futilely to bring peace and security to a nation with regressive forces more entrenched than military action can solve. Although that conflict certainly won’t be far from the memories its veterans and their families, Afghanistan too, as a significant era for our country, is fading for many Canadians. Understanding our past and linking it in meaningful ways to the messages and meaning of Remembrance Day remains a challenge for our society. It will take parents and grandparents teaching their kids their family stories and personal connections with past conflicts to drive home what sacrifice really means. Canada, to varying degrees, is ambivalent about its military and wartime history. Remembrance Day isn’t a statutory holiday in Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba or Nova Scotia. Our southern neighbour offers two official days of the year to celebrate its veterans and to remember past conflicts. The front-line face of Remembrance Day in Victoria are dedicated Legion volunteers, a group also aging and fading away with few replacements drawn from current military ranks. For Remembrance Day to survive, the sacrifice, service and courage of the past need to be values rekindled for the future. What do you think?

OPINION

myVictoria This week’s online poll

Regional districts’ value questionable Dermod Travis Guest columnist

Who knew? Count ’em all up and B.C. has 1,660 elected officials sitting on 250 local councils and school boards across the province. That works out to one for every 2,000 registered voters. It’s also a lot of paycheques. Some of the lucky ones collect two if they happen to be chosen to sit on a regional district. The two biggies, of course, are Metro Vancouver and the Capital Regional District. According to their websites, “Metro Vancouver delivers regional services, planning and political leadership on behalf of 24 local authorities” and “the Capital Regional District is the regional government for the 13 municipalities and three electoral areas that are located on the southern tip of Vancouver Island.” That’s 40 communities with a combined population of 2.7 million or a little more than 60 per cent of B.C.’s total population, each elbowing the other for political space within the two districts. The City of Toronto is home to 2.8 million residents. Practically speaking though,

neither Metro Vancouver or the CRD have much real authority despite their lofty mission statements, because Big Brother is never really far behind. Think debating clubs with privileges. Should one of the districts actually choose to bite off something contentious, chances are it will still need Victoria’s stamp of approval. Metro Vancouver wants to burn a cool half billion dollars on a new garbage incinerator, but they’ll need Victoria’s a-OK before striking the match. In fact, they need it just to put a proposed solid waste management bylaw into effect. The folks at the CRD are being called upon to make all the politically smelly decisions regarding a new sewage treatment plant, while the purse strings remain tightly controlled over at the offices of Partnerships B.C. The federal and provincial governments called it a condition of funding. Cynics might have another expression for it. So if it’s all mostly show, imagine how local taxpayers must feel. Voters don’t get to choose their district representatives, local councils do. The power of the ballot box is far removed from the daily

goings-on at the two regional districts. That’s why it’s far easier to vote to try and place a sewage sludge treatment facility in someone else’s backyard as the CRD sewage committee wanted to do earlier this year. Although the regional district boards aren’t exactly omnipotent, sitting on one does make balancing the family budget a little easier. Last year, councillors and mayors from the Lower Mainland who were among the lucky few to be chosen as Metro Vancouver directors collectively took home $870,000 in stipends plus $61,000 in expenses; and all of it on top of their local council salaries. Christmas even came early for them. Last month, Metro Vancouver awarded its directors a 2.3-percent pay increase retroactive to the beginning of 2013. All nice work if you can get it, but likely not the most ideal model for regional governance in 2013. Two mega cities isn’t the answer, but maybe 40 communities is no longer appropriate. And it’s time for the provincial government to step up and show some leadership on the issue. Dermod Travis is executive director of IntegrityB.C.

2014 Winter Games spotlight human rights

In recent cases of people who fell in their residence and were not discovered for days, it is unfortunate they did not have help-summoning systems. Those use a button worn on wrist or around neck, that communicates by radio waves with a base station connected to a telephone line. An operator answers via speakerphone, which has surprising range. The operator has the individual’s personal help contacts to phone and can phone emergency services. The system works well, provided the monitoring service bureaucracy has competent operators. There is a significant monthly cost, especially with the optional necklace that detects a fall. Of course they won’t work as well for mentally confused people, who may not press the button. As well, residence facilities should have a sign on the door to an individual’s apartment or room, with procedure that others will investigate if the sign is not turned around by midmorning. Keith Sketchley Saanich

The line demarcating sport and politics has been blurred in the lead-up to February’s Sochi Winter Olympics. Russian governance has deemed homosexual acts and propaganda in all forms illegal, forcing tremors of controversy to permeate within the international community. The International Olympic Committee has refrained from taking a partisan stance on the issue, attempting to absolve itself of any responsibility for legislation passed by nations hosting one of its semi-annual games. The organization finds itself in a unique position. Its decision to act or not is fated to set a massive precedent for gay and civil rights writ large. Remaining silent undoubtedly yields the best immediate payoff for the IOC, but may cripple age-old pursuits striving to universalize LGBT tolerance on a global scale. Victoria locals are embedded in a culture that is largely in favour of the right to sexual freedoms, who collectively advocate for equal rights among race, gender and sexual orientation.

HAVE THE CITY AT YOUR FRONT DOOR The attitude here differs greatly from that of Russia; the two settings offer a polarizing glimpse into the dichotomous world of human rights interpretation. This had birthed the question currently stapled to the collective lips of Victoria’s civic consciousness: how can Russian opinion evolve to accommodate the needs of its own LGBT community? Colin McKenna, a provincially renowned gay-rights advocate, offers a practical approach to locating a resolution. He says, “I think greater education is what’s needed, and that should be coming from other world powers … via the world’s media.” This vision champions empathy and compassion as potential catalysts for positive change. Essentially, McKenna espouses the concept of treating others as you would treat yourself. Such a simple, yet transcendental ideology is the key to recognizing the errors of prejudice. Perhaps Olympic media presents a justifiable starting point, as sport oversteps cultural difference for two weeks. Gray Leigh Victoria

Charla Huber/News staff

Cheryl Pardue, left, Charlotte El-Agav and Joanne Burgess all helped knit 160 purple tuques with other volunteers to help raise awareness for the Purple Crying campaign.

Purple hats promote walking away Charla Huber News staff

A baby’s incessant wailing – call it purple crying or colic – can drive the sanest parent to the brink. New mom Natasha Crawford happily watched a DVD on purple crying during a pre-natal class. “It was good and helped prepare me for what to expect,” she said, snuggling her threeday old son Anson. The DVD is something all new parents get at Victoria General Hospital. This month there’s a toque to serve as a safety reminder as part of the Purple Crying campaign. The goal is to remind parents that it’s safer to leave a crying baby in a safe place and walk away for a few minutes than to lose your cool and shake him or her out of frustration.

“With my daughter there were a few nights here and there when we needed to keep out patience, but then you get over it,” said Tim Bendall, who welcomed his son Lincon into the world on Nov. 3. Getting reminders is always a good thing, the second-time dad said. Volunteers from across the province put knitting needles to the grindstone stitching toques for hospitals across B.C. – 160 tuques came to Victoria General Hospital. Charlotte El-Agav, a program co-ordinator at the Ministry of Health, was among the knitters. She knows first hand how tough it is to deal with a wailing baby. “I was in tears, sobbing my head off. I didn’t know if I was doing something wrong,” she said, harkening back to when her 38-year-old daughter was an infant. “Every child goes through it, it’s not abnormal.”

Unfortunately neither is shaken baby syndrome. VGH pediatrician Roxana Bolaria has seen two cases in her 11 years at this hospital. “One shaken baby is one too many,” Bolaria said. “Babies can die (or) have neurological damage, it’s a brain injury. Their heads are relatively large and their neck is small. From being shaken, they can die, have seizures (or) they may not be able to walk or talk or feed themselves.” Bolaria said two of her three children were “difficult babies.” “Even as a pediatrician with lots of knowledge – and I had lots of family support – it was hard,” she said. “It’s important for us to understand what is normal crying and the developmental stage. You can change them and feed them and if you still can’t comfort them put them down and walk away.”

Attention filmmakers:

TELEFILM’$ coming

DON DESCOTEAU

ddescoteau@vicnews.com

ilmmakers in Greater Victoria are sharpening their pencils, tightening up their scripts and thinking a little bigger this fall. With the announcement that CineVic, Victoria’s Society of Independent Filmmakers, has been named a recommending partner for the second year of Telefilm Canada’s Micro-Budget Production program, local filmmakers have a chance to secure $120,000 toward their project. While that may seem a sizeable amount of cash, it’s a drop in the bucket compared to the overall budget of most feature films. Nonetheless, says CineVic director Bryan Skinner, the grant represents a serious breakthrough for local filmmakers. “This is a really incredible opportunity for filmmakers to make a narrative film and use Victoria as part of that,” he says. “Normally people who make narrative films have to finance it themselves. Having $120,000 free and clear to start your low-budget, quarter-million dollar feature is a big leg up.” Skinner, chair of the selection committee that will judge the Victoria projects and pick one film to forward on to Telefilm, expects a large number of local entries. He sees CineVic’s involvement in the competition as a “catalyst” that will help teach filmmakers to prepare their work for serious scrutiny by juries that can influence funding decisions. While filmmaking begins more as a labour of love for those involved, finding the cash to bring ideas to the big screen takes determination and a bit of financial knowhow,

University of Victoria associate professor, filmmaker and writer of the film Two4One Maureen Bradley and CineVic President and producer Daniel Hogg take some time out at UVic. Two4One was selected to receive funding through Telefilm Canada’s Micro-Budget Production Program last year – the same program which will see CineVic recommend a local filmmaker for $120,000 towards their first feature film this winter.

process of finding an extra $100,000 or more to begin filming her next movie. “You have to be an entrepreneur to be an independent filmmaker,” she says, noting that she spent most of the previous weekend on Facebook trying to drum up support for her Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign for her featurelength film, Two 4 One. The grant money means the difference between cobbling together a short film using volunteers, she says, and keeping people around for three weeks to create something more substantial. Bradley has also secured funding from various other grants, including one from the B.C. Arts Council, in her bid to raise enough capital to create a narrative film. Her goal is to complete production by May and have it ready for submission to the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival. Bradley, who is encouraging some of her film students at UVic to consider submitting projects to CineVic, acknowledges that Victoria has more recently been a centre for documentary films as opposed to narrative-style projects. Skinner emphasizes that both styles are welcome under the grant program. “It’s aimed at people who have done shorts, but have not directed or produced a feature in the past,” he says. “This is a career-enhancing program.” Selection by the CineVic jury early next year does not guarantee a filmmaker the cash. The Victoria society is just one of 28 recommending partners across Canada that will be submitting an entry for consideration by the Telefilm jury. In the end, eight or nine will be selected to receive funding. The deadline for submission to CineVic is Dec. 20. For more information on submitting a feature film idea for funding, visit CineVic.ca/node/21283 or call Skinner at 250-3891590.

It seems fitting that Brad Lavigne is launching his new book, Building the Orange Wave, the Inside Story Behind the Historic Rise of Jack Layton and the NDP, in Victoria. Lavigne, the late NDP leader’s principal secretary for a decade and the party’s 2011 national campaign directors, attended university in the city. In those days he worked with VictoriaSwan Lake MLA Rob Fleming in the student movement. Fleming is credited in the book with

asking Layton to run for the leadership, planting the seed for a decision that helped move the party from mediocrity to the official Opposition. The former Victoria city councillor calls Lavigne’s work “the definite book on Jack Layton.” “What people will learn (from reading the book) is that none of this happened by accident,” Fleming says. “Jack had a plan and a team of smart operatives behind him and they executed that plan.” The book launches at 5pm Nov. 12 at Smith’s Pub, 777 Courtney.

Rams await winner of Bulldogs’ playoff game

The Mount Douglas Rams are considered the top high school football team in the country, and are the next in line for the winner of the Belmont Bulldogs and St. Thomas More Knights AAA playoff game at 3 p.m. today (Nov. 8) at Burnaby Lake. The Rams will host the Bulldogs or Knights at Westhills Stadium on Friday, Nov. 15, with a 2 p.m. kickoff. The Bulldogs are currently enjoying their best season ever and are looking no further than today’s test against the Knights, despite dropping a 69-6 loss to the Rams at Westhills last week. To be fair, the Rams have crushed every AAA team they’ve faced and the Bulldogs are only one of two teams to score against the Rams in league play.

Grizzlies on six game point streak

Defenceman Kevin Massy scored his first BCHL goal in overtime to give the Victoria Grizzlies a 4-3 win over the Vernon Vipers on Sunday. It was the sixth straight game in which the Grizzlies (11-6-21) earned a point, as the club is now third in the B.C. Hockey League’s Island division. The Grizz are in Duncan tonight against the Cowichan Capitals and home to the Caps tomorrow at Bear Mountain Arena, 7:15 p.m. face off. The Grizz earned five of a possible six points on its interior road trip last weekend, all within a 43-hour span, in which they tied the Trail Smoke Eaters 4-4 on Friday (Nov. 1), beat the Salmon Arm Silverbacks 3-2 on Saturday and beat Vernon on Sunday.

Blue Jags, Rams roll into hockey playoffs

The St. Michaels University Blue Jaguars senior girls field hockey team wraps up the final day of the AA provincial championships in West Vancouver today. On Monday the first place Jags shut out the second-place Mount Douglas Rams 4-0 in the city championship May Tully Cup. Olivia Donald scored twice for the Jags and Aveen Glen and Kasey Boyle added one each. The AAA Rams are also advancing to provincials, Nov. 13 to 15 in Burnaby, after grabbing a wildcard spot on Tuesday. After the Rams finished third at the AAA Islands behind Cowichan and Frances Kelsey, respectively, the team qualified to play Churchill and West Vancouver for the final spot at provincials. Rams star Lindsay Cole, a U18 provinicial player, scored twice in a 3-2 loss to West Van. But Cole and U18 teammate Lexi de Armond (Grade 11) combined for a seven goals in a 7-3 win over Churchill to secure a spot at AAA provincials.

Cougars slowed by injuries Cougars relinquish hold on top spot for first time since 2011-12 season Travis Paterson News staff

The injury bug doesn’t take favourites and the Victoria Cougars, who’ve enjoyed a mostly healthy run the past few seasons, is in the midst of an injury shakedown. Missing as many as nine of its regulars of late has cost the Cougars first place in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League for the first time in well over two seasons with a 5-3 loss to the surging Campbell River Storm at Archie Browning Sports Centre on Sunday. It was only the Cougars’ (14-2-1-1) second regulation loss of the season but, coupled with an overtime loss earlier this season, it was enough to dislodge the crew from its current hold on first place. The Cougars played Sunday’s game without captain Mark Walton, Michael Fretz, Nicholas Bower, Wade Johnson and Jordan Marciniak. By the time it was over, Blake Roney and Jordan Davie were injured too. It’s meant moving defencemen to forward, leaning on some affiliate call-ups from midget, and also using a pair of forwards from the UVic men’s team in the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League, Joe Gauthier and Cody Mueller. The Cougars visit the Peninsula Panthers (8-8-2-1) tonight at Panorama Rec. Centre, while the Saanich Braves (7-9-1-0) host the Storm at Pearkes arena. Since suffering a pedestrian 4-1 loss to the Oceanside Generals on Dec. 3 of 2011, the Cougars have earned points in 75 out of 78 games, just three regulation losses in that span, making it to two straight gold medal finals of the Fred “Cyclone” Taylor Cup provincial championship. It’s dominant, but it’s also set the bar for the VIJHL, as the second-year Nanaimo Buccaneers (16-3-0-0) are now first in the league

Campbell River Storm’s Alex Brewer, front left, checks Victoria Cougars’ David Marshall, who tries to get the puck loose from Storm goalie Jack Surgenor at Archie Browning Sports Centre on Sunday (Nov. 3). with 32 points, to the Cougars’ 30. Meanwhile mid-pack teams such as the Storm (9-7-1-1) and Westshore Wolves (8-8-3-2) threaten every night with the league’s most dangerous scorers. The Storm’s Brendan deVries leads the league with 15 goals and 31 points in 17 games, with teammate Brayden Taekema third in scoring at 15 goals and 29 points. The Wolves’ Brett Lervold is second overall with 11 goals and 30 points in 19 games. The Braves dropped a 5-2 loss at home to the Comox Valley Glacier Kings on Friday (Nov. 1) with both goals coming from James Sneddon. On Wednesday it was

Palmer, born in 1995, hasn’t found the scoring touch in the WHL that he had with former VIJHL MVP Ty Jones on the Braves two years ago, when Palmer scored 24 goals and 29 assists in 37 games as a 16-year-old rookie.

“We have a good future ahead for Mount Doug with dedicated group of Grade 9 athletes on the Rams Gold, and Grade 10 athletes on Rams Purple, who play disciplined volleyball,” said coach Brian McKinnon. The Rams Gold went into the South tournament having lost just one set during the fall season, to the Belmont Bulldogs in a tournament. And it was Belmont who nearly derailed the Rams Gold in the South Island final. The Rams won the first set 25-14 but Belmont took an 8-3 lead into the second set when the Rams took called a time out.

An everyday blunder by Gorge FC cost them a forfeit loss to Cowichan last week in the top division of the Vancouver Island Soccer League. First-place Cowichan (6-1-1) got the call an hour before the Friday game that eighth-place Gorge (1-7-0) was without its ID cards and could not play, according to VISL rules, which was affirmed by commissioner Vince Greco. Gorge allegedly left the ID cards behind in a dressing room at a game one week earlier. The cards must be presented to officials before every game for verification. sports@vicnews.com

Search ready Sgt. Dan Bodden, a Search and Rescue Tech with the Victoria Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre, demonstrates how to help stabilize a casualty to a group of local Ground Search and Rescue volunteers during a familiarization session at Albert Head Training Centre in Metchosin. nearly 50 volunteers from local Ground SAR (GSAR) teams attended a familiarization session to understand what it is like to work with the CH-149 Cormorant, the primary SAR helicopter for the Victoria Search and Rescue Region earlier this fall.

Real estate numbers reflect catchup Greater Victoria home sales were up 37 per cent in October compared to last year, according to figured released by the Victoria Real Estate Board. According to the board’s multiple listing service system, 512 properties were sold last month compared to 373 in October 2012. There were 4,322 active listings. “While we are all very pleased with the October results, we are tempering our enthusiasm,” said

Shelley Mann, board president. “After a slow market for the last half of 2012, we are still climbing back to previous sales numbers.” The benchmark, or median price for a single-family home in Greater Victoria was $485,400, an increase of 0.15 per cent over the past month but a 3.18-percent decrease from last October. On the West Shore the median was $410,600, a decrease of 0.37 per cent over the past month

and a 4.3-per-cent decrease from last year. October also saw 126 condominium and 51 townhouse sales in Greater Victoria. Benchmark prices for condos and townhouses were $283,100 and $393,100, respectively. There were 17 waterfront homes sold, up two from last October, and 16 homes sold for more than $1 million, one more than 2012. Learn more at www.vreb.org.
