Police seize reckless rider’s motorcycle

More than 100 million people have watched an online video on the notorious leader of the Lord’s Resistance Army. es The video urges ster people to plaster posters about Joseph Kony ity around their city on April 20.

oseph Kony was not a household name in North America one month ago. But a viral video from the U.S.-based charity Invisible Children has successfully shone the spotlight on the leader of the Lord’s Resistance Army in central Africa. Kony is wanted by the International Criminal Court for countless human rights violations.

It also sparked what Victoria-based documentary filmmaker Jordan Clark calls “the first social media revolution.”

“It’s extremely effective. It’s showing that the power really is in the hands of the people. It’s just in a new medium … sharing a link on Facebook,” said Clark, program co-ordinator at the Pacific Film and New Media Academy. “I don’t think that they’re going to solve the problems in the region, but it certainly opens the door and reinvents how powerful social media can be when you’re trying to expose an issue or get information out.”

Saanich police have seized the motorcycle seen barrelling down the Trans-Canada Highway at speeds reaching 300 km/h in a video posted online earlier this month.

But on Wednesday officers were unsure whether they’d be able to charge the man they believe was behind the handlebars on the bike.

“We don’t believe the owner is the rider,” said Sgt. Dean Jantzen.

“At this point, any action that’s taken is going to be against the registered owner.”

The registered owner of the blue 2006 Yamaha is an Esquimalt woman. The suspected rider is her son, in his 20s.

The two-minute video, showing the motorcycle dashboard and the driver’s first-person view weaving in between vehicles, was posted to YouTube on April 8 and quickly came to the attention of police. The digital speedometer shows the bike hitting speeds of 299 km/h.

Dispute over report cards continues Natalie North News staff

Final report cards will be sent home with students across B.C. in June.

Neither teachers nor administrators are disputing that fact.

But what’s still up in the air is whether parents can expect written updates before the end of the year.

Lawyers representing the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, acting on

behalf of the province’s school boards, and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation met with the Labour Relations Board Monday (April 16) to discuss the issue.

Report cards are necessary before the end of the year to identify students with special needs and plan for summer school, the employers’ association argued in a statement dated April 11, the same day the application was submitted.

Meanwhile, BCTF representatives,

IN BRIEF

including the president of the Greater Victoria teachers’ Association, have said teachers and parents have been able to talk throughout the course of the job action, which began in September.

The disagreement over report cards heated up after deputy education minister James Gorman sent a letter on March 27 to school superintendents asking for report cards to be issued as soon as possible. nnorth@saanichnews.com

Board reinvests district surplus into educational assistants

Needs-based budget explained

Natalie North News staff

Save or spend?

In response to the outcry from teachers and parents for more classroom support, the Greater Victoria Board of Education uncharacteristically chose the latter.

On Tuesday trustees passed the district’s 2012-13 operating budget, after unanimously agreeing to use a $349,541 surplus from the 2011-12 school year to address class size and composition in 2012-13.

The extra funds will go toward hiring educational assistants and a psychologist to assist with the backlog of psychometric assessments for children up to Grade 3.

As well, they will fund the hiring of support staff to aid the speech and language pathologist, freeing up more time for therapy.

Fewer sick days, more savings than anticipated from energy conservation and more international student enrolment helped create the surplus.

The school district prepares its operating budget early in the year to prepare staffing.

The final budget isn’t due into the Ministry of Education until June 30. It will then be submitted along with a detailed needs budget.

The needs budget is a starting point and is subject to change, depending on how learning initiative funds and any additional grants are allocated.

The document currently identifies the need for about $48.5 million in additional funding in order to provide what board chair Peg Orcherton calls “absolute optimum” funding. The budget advisory committee presents the needs budget to the board for debate May 22.

The goal of preparing such a detailed breakdown of needs in the district – from staffing to supplies – is to strengthen the district’s argument for increased funding.

In the past, the board has submitted a “restorative budget” document, based on 2001 operational costs and funding.

“This is unusual,” board chair Peg Orcherton said of the extra funds. “It was quite delightful.”

Historically, the Greater Victoria School District has used any surplus funds from one year to help reduce the following year’s deficit. Longtime trustee Elaine Leonard, who was previously in favour of applying the surplus to the 2012-13 deficit, brought forward the motion to spend it.

“We are addressing, with the money that we have, the needs that come to us,” Orcherton said.

“We do listen, and that’s exactly why the motion that trustee Leonard had put on the table in February was amended.”

While the board was unanimous on how to spend the surplus funds, differing philosophies toward education advocacy nearly prevented the budget itself from being passed.

Had the document not passed, the surplus would have needed to be spent by the end of the 2011-12 year and would not have been applied to class size and com-

position.

Five of nine trustees – Orcherton, vice-chair Bev Horsman, Leonard, Michael McEvoy and Tom Ferris – supported the $171-million operating budget.

Trustees Deborah Nohr and Catherine Alpha voted against passing the balanced budget. Trustees Edith Loring-Kuhanga and Diane McNally, who had previously supported submitting only a needs-based budget to the Ministry of Education, abstained from voting on the final reading.

“Every one of us at that table would love to have more money,” she said. “But if (the balanced budget was not passed,) our community, our district, would likely lose its voice on how this district is run and we would have another level of bureaucracy that wouldn’t be willing to listen.”

McNally admitted it would have been a challenge to spend the surplus well by the end of the year. For her, the issue of chronic underfunding took precedent, she said.

“The platform I ran on was based on my convictions on the need to preserve public education and not to go along with planned underfunding from the government.” nnorth@saanichnews.com

Open house about McKenzie upgrades On Tuesday (April 24), Saanich staff will host an open house at the University of Victoria to discuss planned upgrades along McKenzie Avenue.

Coroners release violence research As part of Prevention of Violence Against Women Week, the B.C. Coroners Service released research into domestic deaths since 2003. Among key findings was that murdered women were eight times more likely than men to be killed by their spouse or romantic partner. Of the assailants, 80 per cent were male and 20 per cent were female. In every situation in which more than one person died – either multiple homicides or homicide-suicides – the assailant was male.

Give green a chance. That’s the message being spread by volunteers of the Creatively United for the Planet Festival.

The inaugural festival, taking place April 20 to 22 in and around St. Matthias Church in Victoria as part of Earth Week, aims to bring together creative people and environmental-based charities for a fun, family-friendly weekend, while also raising awareness for change.

“Our goal is to inspire environmental awareness and build community through creativity,” said Frances Litman, festival co-founder and noted Victoria photographer.

Artists have always been the leaders in change, bringing issues forward to the public, she added.

Litman started working on the festival plans about two years ago because she felt not enough was being done to help environmental charities.

The goal was to reach people who say they are either too busy or too intimidated to help.

“It’s easy to preach to the converted about why the environment is important,” Litman said.

“I thought if I create something that’s really fun, where (people) can bring their families and it’s free, what a great way for them to be able to make a difference.”

Creatively United was first started as a website to help raise funds for local environmental charities. Litman hopes the Earth Week fundraiser will be the start of an annual event to raise money and profile for these causes.

The festival offers a wide selection of mostly free, indoor and outdoor activities, including concerts, art-making, music, displays and lectures, for people of all ages. A free disco-mardi gras-themed dance party kicks off the celebration Friday (April 20) at 7 p.m.

On Saturday night there will be a funky fashion show featuring local designers. The show runs from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. and is followed by a funk, soul and R&B dance with the Soul Shakers.

New sign to be unveiled at Earth Day celebration Brittany Lee News staff

Residents of Greater Victoria are invited to celebrate Earth Day with a picnic in Uplands Park and the unveiling of a new Uplands Park sign on Sunday, April 22.

The second annual picnic, organized by the Friends of Uplands Park and the Community Association of Oak Bay, offers opportunities for education, stewardship, and inspiration, said Margaret Lidkea, co-founder of Friends of Uplands Park.

The picnic is about celebrating our connection with our natural world, Lidkea said.

It combines people with their love of nature and encourages children to be active outside.

“We feel it’s a park that needs to be celebrated because it’s not just a natural park, it is a cultural park, and it’s also a park that a lot of people use for all sorts of reasons,” she said.

A group of Oak Bay residents, including Lidkea and Chris HydeLay, Oak Bay Parks department manager, will also unveil a sign demarcating the south entrance to Uplands Park across from Cattle Point.

Submitted photo

Ron Carter and the Bald Eagles will perform at Earth Day celebrations at Uplands Park this Sunday.

The 3.6m by 3.35m sandblasted cedar sign is similar to the one in the Windsor Park scented garden, but has green trim, green oak leaves and white lettering, HydeLay said, adding it should be up in the park by April 18.

The group has been working on the signage project since last

spring, Lidkea said. Next, they plan to develop an informational welcome kiosk at the entrance.

The sign replaces a previous controversial one built by Monterey recreation centre’s woodworkers club and placed by the heritagedesignated Uplands gates. That one was taken down in 2010 fol-

lowing complaints by Oak Bay’s heritage committee that the sign was not in keeping with Uplands design guidelines. It was relocated to the corner of Foul Bay Road and McNeill Avenue.

The family-friendly event includes live music and park clean up.

MUSICAL THEATRE

Activities for kids include a treasure hunt, bubbles, and face painting.

An initiative to remove invasive Scotch broom and Evergreen Daphne plants will also take place during the picnic. The removal of these plants is important in preventing their spread, Lidkea said.

“It’s important to open up the meadow of the Garry oak eco-system and allow the wildflowers to bloom,” she explained. “By cutting it down and not allowing it to flower, we are preventing more seeds from being produced.”

People interested in helping with the removal of these plants will be instructed on the best and correct methods. They are also encouraged to bring their own hand-held pruners or loppers.

The plants will be hauled away

by Oak Bay Parks and composted.

The event runs from 12 to 3:30 p.m., rain or shine. A music tent and information tables will be set up at the grassy entrance to Cattle Point at Beach Drive.

There will also be bird walk for adults at 7 a.m. and a walk from Oak Bay Municipal Hall to Uplands Park at 11 a.m. reporter@vicnews.com with files from Vivian Moreau

OUR VIEW

Put some action into Earth Day Comedian George Carlin famously said: “There is nothing wrong with the planet. Nothing wrong with the planet. The planet is fine. The people are [doomed].”

His theory was that the planet has been around for four-and-a-half billion years, and humans have been here one or two hundred thousand years. And we’ve only been engaged in heavy industry for a little over 200 years. “Two hundred years versus four-and-a-half billion,” said Carlin. “And we have the conceit to think that somehow we’re a threat?”

Unfortunately, it’s taken our species less than a century to do some damage to this big blue marble we live on.

And Earth Day is a good reminder to us all to keep it clean – something Carlin never did with his language.

What first started as an environmental awareness event in the United States in 1970, Earth Day (April 22) has become more widely celebrated in recent years. This year in Victoria a three-day event, Creatively United for the Planet, hopes to inspire environmental awareness and build community through creativity. But is this enough?

Does attending a weekend festival make us want to become better stewards of the planet? Does joining a broom bash or ivy pull lead us to build a compost in our backyard or take transit instead of the car to work?

Three local businesses decided to take up a Garbage Challenge to mark Earth Day this year, taking an hour to collect garbage from around Victoria. The one that collects the most wins the Golden Garbage Award.

Sure, it’s a small step, but an achievable goal. It should be noted that the Inn at Laurel Point, Harbour Air Seaplanes and Eagle Wing Tours – the founders of this Garbage Challenge – are all carbon-neutral businesses and want to encourage other businesses to get involved in the care of the environment.

Big changes, like becoming carbon neutral, begin with small steps. As recycling began with old newspapers being dumped into a separate bin and water conservation with turning the taps off when you brush your teeth, so must other changes begin.

Earth Day gives us the opportunity to remind ourselves that each small step we take toward sustainability will become a giant leap one day. Each time we walk or ride our bike to a local farm stand to buy carrots instead of using the car, makes a difference. Each time we put the carrot peels into the compost instead of the garbage bin makes a difference. Each time we spread that compost on our own garden bed … well, you get the picture.

It’s up to each of us as individuals to decide what choices we’ll make to celebrate Earth Day. Even if what you choose to do seems like a small step, one day it could become a big deal and you can say you did your part in keeping the planet “fine.”

D, on the other hand, is always trying to understand how a program works, and trying to determine if there’s one that is better, faster or easier to use.

One thing that works to my advantage is that M can use her gadgets to look up new and interesting recipes. And D, when he gets frustrated with technology, usually slaps the offending item down on the coffee table and announces, “I’m going to go wash the car.”

SAANICH NEWS - Friday, April 20, 2012

LETTERS Better job needed in promoting transit, urban densification The announcements of investments by senior levels of government in the E&N rail and other transit systems will reduce government operating costs.

Recently an international network for public transport authorities estimated that in North America, the costs of trips as a proportion of the gross domestic product is 12.7 per cent, whereas in Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore it is only 5.4 per cent. The difference is a productive advantage for the

Asian economies.

At the government level, transportation authorities are spending ever-increasing amounts of funds just to service the next subdivision.

Governments should not be in the business of promoting and financing urban sprawl, which increases operating costs to all levels of government, but particularly the province.

Encouraging mass transit and urban densification will entail the following cost implications:

Government will reduce costs for service provision as we move towards more compact communities.

For instance, out-patient healthcare providers, social workers and transportation providers are now increasingly travelling farther to service clients. If a service provider can attend two or three appointments within walking distance, or commute a short distance by transit or even automobile, this is a time saver and also a fuel cost saver.

Existing road capacity is used more efficiently, thus delaying or negating the need for further road investments for expansion. This will help deliver our goods to the Far East markets more efficiently.

Trucks stuck in traffic benefit nobody.

Correspondingly, there will be measurable decreases in road maintenance and rehabilitation costs.

Governments will also receive direct cost savings from decreased incidence of

automobile accidents involving those commuters who switch modes of travel, through decreased exposure – a tangible benefit measured in millions of vehicle kilometres travelled.

Countries with the highest levels of walking and biking also have the lowest levels of obesity.

This preventative measure is very important as our health-care costs are projected to increase exponentially.

Evolution happens naturally, regardless of where faith lies Re: Believing in theory of evolution requires faith (Letters, April 13) Dog breeds are the products of evolution by artificial selection: From a set of puppies, people identified individuals they liked, such as those who grew into adults that were good at killing rats, or protecting sheep.

These were bred and the selection step was repeated. A few from the next litters might have killed more rats than their parents or were better at protecting sheep. Again, the best were selected to produce another generation. These experiments were done independently in different places and, consequently, we now have lots of terriers, and German, Belgian and Australian shepherds.

Faith is not a factor here.

Breeder’s records tell us that evolution by artificial selection is what led to the diversity in domestic species that we see today. Evolution by natural selection argues that the same process takes place in nature.

To Darwin, the idea that evolution by artificial selection had generated various breeds of dog, cat, cattle, sheep, etc., but that different wild species were created independently, seemed unnecessarily complicated.

In the Origin of Species, he proposed that nature, like a

dog breeder, allows only some individuals to reproduce. These individuals differ from others and the features that enhanced survival and reproduction in one place might not be the same as those that were selected in another. This way, evolution by natural selection led to changes that generated new varieties, which eventually became new species.

Darwin’s observations were consistent with this theory. Evolution, whether by artificial or natural selection, predicts that related species will be connected geographically.

Creationism doesn’t make such predictions. A creator could place deer and monkeys anywhere, yet, on islands more than 300 miles from the mainland, Darwin found only flying and marine mammals.

Creation does not explain why all species, from bacteria to pine trees to humans, have DNA. In addition, Darwin also noted that if species were perfectly matched to their environment, as one might expect from creation, then invasive species wouldn’t stand a chance.

Ruth Magnusson said she examined the theory of evolution and rejected it, after looking to science for explanations. I hope this inspires her to look again.

Computer store burglarized after hole kicked through wall Businesses are being reminded to review their security practices after a computer store was entered through a hole in the wall of a vacant store next door.

Around 2 a.m., Saturday (April 14), Saanich police responded to an alarm call at WestWorld Computers in the 3200-block of Douglas St. When officers arrived, they found none of the

store’s glass windows or doors had been breached.

An officer did notice, however, that a glass panel window at the vacant store next door had been removed. Upon further inspection, a hole was discovered in the drywall wall that connects the two stores.

It is believed the thief or thieves stole 10 iPad tablets from

WestWorld in the break-in. “(Business owners) should take this as a warning to look at their security procedures,” said Sgt. Dean Jantzen. “A drywall wall doesn’t amount to much in the way of security.”

Police are asking anyone with information on this incident to call 250-475-4321. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Police search turns up Saanich teen suspected of assault A wannabe martial artist was arrested Saturday night after using a stick to attack a trio of of youths during an altercation.

A Saanich police reserve and a regular officer witnessed the assault in progress at the Royal Oak bus exchange around 8:50 p.m.

The pair, in a police car, activated the lights and sirens, scaring the attacker off and sending him running down Royal Oak Drive. He ran onto a property and disappeared.

A canine unit was called in and police set up a perimeter in the neighbourhood. A witness said he saw the man running toward Viewmont Avenue.

An officer set up for containment on Viewmont spotted the suspect, and arrested him. The teenage suspect was carrying a pair of martial arts sticks, each approximately two feet in length.

He was taken back to the Saanich police department, where he had to be further restrained after pushing an officer.

The 17-year-old Saanich man was charged with assaulting a peace officer, assault with a weapon, assault, mischief and breaching two court orders.

The three youths who were attacked suffered minor injuries, including cuts and bruises. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Vincent Gale, left, Bill Dow and Sarah Orenstein star in God of Carnage at the Belfry Theatre.

Mayhem rules the day Brittany Lee News staff

What starts off as a friendly meeting of two couples to resolve a playground fight between their sons, quickly turns into a game of namecalling, finger-pointing and throwing things.

And it’s all on stage in the Belfry Theatre’s production of the award-winning comedy God of Carnage, written by Yasmina Reza and translated by Christopher Hampton.

This satire of social conduct and modern day marriage stars Bill Dow, Vincent Gale, Sarah Orenstein and Celine Stubel, and is directed by Glynis Leyshon, former artistic director at the Belfry Theatre.

The play starts as a calm, rational debate among adults, but the facade of decorum is razor thin and when the Scotch starts to flow, lines are drawn, allegiances are made and broken, and the evening quickly devolves into a hysterical night.

The play received a Tony Award for Best Play and an Olivier Award for Best New Comedy in 2009.

God of Carnage runs from April 17 to May 20 at the Belfry Theatre, 1291 Gladstone Ave. Tickets range from $23 to $38. There are discounts for high school and postsecondary students.

For tickets, call 250-385-6815 or visit tickets.belfry.bc.ca. For more information, visit belfry. bc.ca/god-of-carnage. editor@oakbaynews.com

Self-discovery takes a comic turn in Intrepid Theatre production

Don’t miss our

SEMI-ANNUAL $

Brittany Lee News staff

The story of a girl who goes to clown college on a path of self-discovery but then drops out is presented as the Confessions of a Clown College Dropout at the Intrepid Theatre Club.

The story follows a confused, discouraged performer as she attempts to find purpose in her life and her life on stage, according to writer Marina Legace from CatFlap Collective, a group of local artists putting on the show.

“I’m calling it a haphazard clown musical tripping out on LSD,” Legsaid. “She goes “I’m calling it ace through a journey redisa haphazard clown covering and exploring what would be the kind musical tripping of exercises one might out on LSD.” do at clown college.”

- Marina Legace Legace’s inspiration for the story came from a personal experience as an artist struggling with stage fright and a lack of self-confidence, she said.

“I went to clown school to try to rediscover my joy in performing and because of the state that I was in, I had a really difficult time coming to terms with my role as a performer and I ended up dropping out… so it’s kind of a true story,” she said.

The production includes live music, improvisation, and stilt-walking. Along with Legace, it features Kimara Brilling and Emma Zabloski, also from CatFlap Collective.

“I think it’s a significant impact to the affected members, of course,” said Mark Miller, B.C. vice-president of the Union of National Defence Employees.

“But when you compare the hit that (our union’s workers in) B.C. took in relation to the rest of the country, no, we got off (lightly).”

The elimination of jobs comes on the heels of the federal government’s 2012 budget, announced March 29.

About two weeks ago, CFB Esquimalt officials began informing workers at the Fleet Maintenance Facility that they may be potentially impacted.

Many members of Miller’s union also have not yet been told which positions are being terminated, a point which is impacting morale, he said.

Secrecy around the department’s strategic review and deficit reduction action plan, launched in recent years to

identify cost savings, adds to the worry, he said. “(It causes) uncertainty and confusion, but it also keeps the Canadian population in the dark, because no one really understands what the big hit is. I think it’s political spin-doctoring and population manipulation.”

Erin McCracken Des Rogers, national president News staff of the Federal Government Dockyard Trade and Labour At least 51 full-time civilian Council (West), agrees, saying, defence jobs at CFB Esquimalt “There’s a lot of very nervous will be eliminated by spring people out there.”

Bees get special day in May News staff

Municipalities across Canada, including those in the Capital Region, are being asked to proclaim May 29 as Day of the Honey Bee. Esquimalt council agreed at its meeting Monday night to make the proclamation, at the request of Clinton Ekdahl of Saskatoon, Sask., who initiated the Day of the Honey Bee campaign four years ago.

In a letter to council, Ekdahl said he began his crusade to raise awareness about honey bees, which he says are responsible for about 70 per cent of Canada’s food crop pollination.

According to B.C.’s Ministry of Agriculture, about $200 million in agriculture production is dependent on honey bee pollination in the province each year.

“I am drawing attention to honey bees because they continue to disappear at unsustainable rates for unexplained rea-

sons, not only in Canada, but in every country and across every continent where they are raised,” he wrote.

Last year, 163 municipal governments across Canada, as well as the B.C., Manitoba and Saskatchewan provincial governments, issued Day of the Honey Bee proclamations.

“As a result of this amazing support, more people learned about the plight of honey bees,” Ekdahl said. emccracken@vicnews.com

wonderful that people have heard, at least for the first time, about Kony, that they have learned about some of what he did,” began Magassa, “But, as a human rights educator, I am very concerned about the content of the education you impart on people. … I am concerned (viewers) have heard half of the news, and they should be educated to learn more about the whole context and the history of (the issues in Uganda).”

Though Clark supports the idea of Kony 2012, purely from the perspective of being interested in seeing whether today’s poster-plastering campaign pans out, he agrees that viewers need to better educate themselves on the issues presented.

“There’s so many different layers to the problems (in the video). … The reason it worked is (the video) was simple and nobody was confused with the issues,” he said. “I think Kony 2012 has oversimplified it to push people into action, which is exactly what (Invisible Children) wanted.” kslavin@saanichnews.com

Vote not enough to stop sports Saanich teachers involved in high school sports finding ways to continue

“It’s not a good time for athletics. I know other coaches will keep coaching despite the vote.”

Travis Paterson News staff

Labour politics be damned, nothing’s going to stop high school sports on the South Island.

Regardless of whether this week’s B.C. Teachers’ Federation vote passes, plenty of high school sports programs in Greater Victoria have plans to continue even if there’s an official mandate for unionized teachers to withdraw from voluntary extracurricular activities in protest of Bill 22.

High school sports such as girls soccer, boys rugby, the School Bike League and track and field are all carrying on. Even more are about to get going with golf and tennis among the next seasons to start up.

“It’s not a good time for athletics,” said School Bike League commissioner Eric Simonson of Oak Bay High. “Many coaches (like me) think it is unfair to withdraw from extracurricular (activities).”

Simonson said negotiations involving the teachers’ union usually don’t touch extracurricular activities.

“I know other coaches will keep coaching despite the vote.”

Coaching is among the extracurricular activities that teachers in the Saanich School District, which covers the Peninsula and the northern edge of the municipality of Saanich, have already agreed to withdraw from.

“It’s a big grey area that’s been left up to the individual (teachers), with most continuing for now,” said Darren Reisig, athletic director at Claremont secondary.

“Claremont continued with all sports, but who’s doing what is up to that school or individual. If teachers aren’t doing it then community coaches (and parents) have stepped in.”

In some cases, practices and games have been a little less formal.

In the event it doesn’t pass, the local recommendation would stand, likely to be revisited at next month’s general meeting.

Sharon Tiffin/News staff

“This is not a cut and dry picket line, (in terms of) what would happen if a teacher continues,” said Sean Hayes, Saanich Teachers’ Association president.

“We’ve seen a prohibition on extracurricular before, in the early 2000s. I don’t remember anyone being sanctioned, but I do remember colleagues angry at colleagues, and teachers who continued to coach.”

Meanwhile, private schools Glenlyon Norfolk, Saint Michaels University, St. Andrew’s and Pacific Christian are helping to carry the load.

Sharing the commissioner duties for the city’s track and field league are St. Andrew’s teachers Angela McLeish and Kevin Mennie. They’re able to offer ongoing support without facing any

potential sanctions.

Likewise, St. Mikes’ teacher Eliot Anderson is the high school rugby commissioner.

“Many of our games are scheduled against independent schools so they’ll happen anyways.

We wouldn’t be looking for games, we have a full schedule. We’ve got kids who’ve paid for the experience and we’ll give it to them.”

Anderson’s also heard some schools might not look for extra games as a show of support, should it come to that.

As for the school cycling league, Simonson intends to keep it alive however way he can.

“I have many parents that can fill in for me if my union frowns on my participation.” sports@vicnews.com

Give them power. Give them confidence.

Give them control.

GIVE THEM A PAPER ROUTE! A paper route is about so much more than money.

These days kids want and need so many things. With a paper route they not only earn the money to buy those things, they also gain a new respect for themselves. They discover a new sense of confidence, power and control by having their very own job, making their own money and paying for their own games, phones and time with friends.

All it takes is an hour or so after school Wednesday and Friday.

And even better... there are no collections required.

It’s so easy to get started… call

Larger cruise ships coming next season Harbour authority also welcomes new tenant With the Crystal Serenity docked as the first cruise ship of the season in Victoria, the federal and provincial governments used the opportunity to highlight the success of their 2010 investment in Ogden Point.

An expansion to the pier, including a new mooring dolphin and dredging of Pier B, was completed by early 2011 for nearly $4 million. The cost was split between the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority and the provincial and federal governments.

“I’m delighted our investments are paying off here in Victoria,” Minister of Canadian Heritage, James Moore, said Tuesday morning.

“The expanded pier is increasing tourism and providing a significant boost to British Columbia’s economy.”

Making use of the expanded pier, the 315-metre Celebrity Solstice is confirmed to call on Victoria next year. The ship is 20 metres longer than the longest ship due to arrive this year.

Also new for the site, Global Marine Systems Limited will move into a warehouse at Ogden Point Pier A. The company is the largest provider of submarine cable installation and maintenance worldwide. Its Victoria office will maintain submarine cable telecommunications links.

The five-year lease is part of the harbour authority’s strategy to diversify and revitalize Ogden Point. rholmen@vicnews.com
