All roads will lead to safety once Oak Bay implements its Complete Streets policy. Council members endorsed the plan during the committee meeting on Monday night. “In general our community prefers to live at a human scale, a human pace,” said Gerald Smeltzer, chair of the Oak Bay Active
Transportation advisory committee. Seeing the roads, sidewalks and pathways as public resources for all, the policy will help the district accommodate and encourage safe access and use by pedestrians cyclists and motorists. It will help develop a complete streets network connecting businesses, schools, parks, libraries and other community resources. “Given the pressures of the projects in our community … now is the time to consider and implement a complete streets policy,” Smeltzer said. “A policy like this is an effective tool for reducing infrastructure costs.” With a policy, the municipality will be in a better position to access the estimated $53

The district missed the boat during Beach Drive work at McNeill Bay, the mayor noted. “All we did, because we didn’t have this policy in place, was fix the road,” Mayor Nils Jensen said. “We could’ve benefited from all of these multi-modal transportation opportunities.” The policy passed committee approval in front of a full crowd during the meeting. “This is an active community and these are some of the issues we’re all thinking and

the region. According to the Victoria Francophone Society, an estimated 7,000 francophones live in Greater Victoria. The Victor-Brodeur Parents Association has only heard positive feedback about the upcoming move. “Parents are happy that we’re going to have more room, because we were running into a room problem,” association president MariePierre Lavoie said. If not for the relocation, she added, Victor-Brodeur would have faced a shortfall of two or three classrooms come September. Conseil Scolaire Francophone, the francophone school board that governs public French-language schools in B.C., approached the Greater Victoria School District in April in hopes of leasing the seismically upgraded Lampson property as an interim solution to overcrowding. “We’d like to be all in the same building, but there is a limit to this building,” said Sylvain Allison, board secretary-treasurer. “And we’re very happy that we surpassed the capacity in a way because

Amid growing demand for French language education, the region’s only public francophone elementary and high school is relocating its senior students to free up space. École Victor-Brodeur will begin offering grades 8 to 12 at the former Lampson Street elementary school in Esquimalt in September. Kindergarten to Grade 7 classes will remain at the main school site at 637 Head St. The move means a quick departure for current tenants of the Lampson property, CFB Esquimalt’s language training centre and the Military Family Resource Centre. The resource centre’s daycare will stay
for another three years. Since the doors to a bigger and better Victor-Brodeur school opened in January 2007, enrolment has swelled by 66 per cent, to 612 students. It was built to accommodate 540. For the 2011-12 school year, enrolment has stood at 168 high school and 444 elementary school students. “We are planning for 650 (in September), so there is no more space,” said Bertrand Dupain, principal at Victor-Brodeur. The boom is attributed to growing awareness of the existence of the lone francophone school, more eligible families exercising their right to have their children educated in French, and a moderate increase in francophones to

Residents get last say on Oak Bay Lodge plan Municipal Council slated to make a decision June 27 Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
Every seat was filled and many resorted to standing or sitting on the floor for the final opportunity at input on the proposed development of Oak Bay Lodge. About 200 people attended the meeting Tuesday at the Monterey recreation centre for the last chance to speak on the project before Oak Bay council is set to make a decision Wednesday (June 27). Baptist Housing was hired by Vancouver Island Health Authority to redevelop the Oak Bay Lodge into a 320-bed facility for dementia care. The new building would be higher than allowed under zoning bylaws and would include fewer parking spaces than required for the size of the development. The original request was to address the growing need for residential care beds for Greater Victoria’s aging population and to replace existing beds in existing facilities, including 247 beds at Oak Bay Lodge and 73 beds at Mt. Tolmie Hospital. The Oak Bay site is already zoned for residential care. “We believe it is the best design for the site,” said Howard Johnson, CEO of Baptist Housing. “It is in the community interest to replace Oak Bay Lodge as proposed with the changes made.” Despite Mayor Nils Jensen’s assertion there was no applause meter, residents used their hands to show support for speakers and three PowerPoint presentations opposed to the proposal. “We have a massive redevelopment here and it’s being treated as an inconsequential bylaw variance,” said resident Paul Werner, one of three who made PowerPoint presentations opposed to the plan. Main concerns included the design and size; traffic and parking; and inconsistency with the community plan.
“This isn’t just one foot more on a house down the street,” Werner said. “This is a massive undertaking.” While the balance between those leaned toward those opposed, those in favour gleaned support as well. One resident of Wilmot Place noted that the community plan is due for a review. “It was done 15 years ago and only updated seven years ago. An official community plan that far out of date is irrelevant today.” More information about the Oak Bay Lodge redevelopment is available at the municipal hall, 2167 Oak Bay Ave. cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

Lansdowne preschool heading to the park
For more information contact Dr. Michael Jones, Cook Street Medical Clinic 250-383-3311 or Email cookmed.research@gmail.com
Lansdowne Preschool will temporarily move into Carnarvon Park come September.
The Oak Bay preschool will be displaced from its Anglican church hall come fall and will relocate to the Maple Room at Carnarvon. With the introduction of allday kindergarten, daytime programs are dwindling in the Maple Room and the before and after school programs there will start to share space with Lansdowne. The preschool will pay for a storage shed near the building to store outdoor toys. The preschool pays $800 a month in its current space, and the district plans to seek the same amount.
The agreement would be in place until June 2013.

Graffiti artists’ marks wiped out in Oak Bay Kyle Slavin News staff
Oak Bay police’s school liaison officer says she’s glad her municipality takes a hard stance on graffiti. “I can barely get out to a graffiti sight to take a picture of it before our (public) works guys get out and clean it,â€? said Const. Dorothy Junio. “We have no problem because they’re continually on it. ‌ It’s pretty much not tolerated in our bedroom community.â€? It’s a different story in next-door Saanich where public works crews there no longer have the budget for graffiti clean-up. “We still will deal with profanity, anything that’s obscene and so on, but basically the account for graffiti removal, those funds were cut,â€? said Mike Ippen, Saanich’s manager of public works. For the fourth year in a row, Saanich council has asked each municipal department – save for public safety – to cut one per cent from its annual budget. This year the $30,000 that was annually allocated to

roads crews to clean up graffiti was scrapped. Any scrawling on municipally owned walls, fences, street furniture and overpasses will not be removed. The silver living, however, is it’s just the public works side that’s been impacted so far. The parks department will still clean graffiti from parks, solid waste crews still have a budget to clean bus shelters, and hydro poles and mailboxes are still to be cleaned by whoever owns them (ie. B.C. Hydro or Canada Post). “Obviously, any service cut is a bad one. It reduces a level of service that the community has come to expect,� Ippen said. Saanich police Const. Jenn Symonds, the force’s designated graffiti officer, says this decision could prove problematic, as a vandalized area will encourage more graffiti. “If you’re quick at removing it, it lets these people know that that’s not an area that will put up with the tagging. But if you let it sit, then it’s: ‘People here don’t care, we’ll make this our canvas,’� she said. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Saanich opens tagging canvas You might notice graffiti tags popping up and remaining in place in Saanich over the next fiscal year. Under a mandate to cut back budgets by one per cent, the district’s public works department axed its roads division’s graffiti removal program, which is worth about $30,000. This funding paid for staff to paint over or wipe clean tags from municipal benches, walls and overpasses. Now unless the graffiti is profane, it won’t be removed. Saanich is a large, expensive municipality to run and such decisions are never easy, but allowing graffiti tags to go unchecked is one of the worst forms of inaction a local government can commit. Squiggled tags and random attempts at art painted across telephone poles, fences, bridges and other public structures is the kind of vandalism that begets vandalism. The longer graffiti stays in an area, the more the graffiti bleeds out. For many residents across the region, graffititagged streets create perceptions that the block is seedy or dangerous, and the people don’t care about their neighbourhood. For local businesses, it drives away potential customers and gives areas bad reputations. Colwood, a city with many budget woes of its own, decided to roll the dice and invested tax dollars in a bylaw officer dedicated to removing graffiti, tracking tags and gathering evidence, as well as organizing community cleanups. That city has sent a message that taggers will be tracked, fined or criminally charged. Victoria has offered its citizens an antigraffiti program that offers free cleanup kits, but largely depends on volunteers taking an interest in their community. Saanich is offering the same, and hopefully residents step up to the plate when tags linger. But in the meantime, Saanich has placed itself in the position of a double-standard – homeowners are required to remove tags from their property, but the district isn’t. It also runs the risk of eventually spending more tax dollars on cleanup, as taggers realize parts of the municipality are an open canvas. What do you think?

Drivers who recklessly weave in and out of lanes, simply because they’re impatient or in a hurry, are another problem. If it’s rush hour and everybody is stuck in traffic, driving in and out of lanes won’t get you any further than anyone else. According to ICBC, almost 60 per cent of crashes are caused by speeding and distracted drivers. Distracted driving is defined as using communicative or video equipment while operating a vehicle, as well as inattentive driving. High-risk driving includes failing to yield right of way, tailgating, improper passing and speeding. Speeding seems to be one habit drivers just can’t drop. I don’t think I go a day without witnessing a driver zoom past me, whether on the highway or in a 50 km/hr zone. Unless speeding up is necessary to safely pass a car, drivers shouldn’t let their impatience rule their decision-making. Just as drivers shouldn’t let dumb decisions, such as texting while driving, determine how safe roads are for others. Laws exist for a reason. And unless we want our next paycheque to go toward paying for a speeding ticket, or worse, a hospital bill, it’s important to re-evaluate our driving habits and make an effort to drive safely.

LETTERS Re: On-leash animals unpredictable (Letters, June 15) I favour restrictive controls over dogs in the city of Victoria. Over the years I have been threatened and harassed frequently while running or cycling. I have even been bitten several times. Restrictive rules are necessary because too many dog owners are selfishly unconcerned with the comfort and safety of others. Restrictive rules, combined with social pressure, have at least helped control the amount of dog droppings on sidewalks or pathways. Let me say something in favour of cats in the city: I have never been chased or bitten by a cat while out running, cycling or walking. Nor have I ever stepped on their droppings on sidewalks or pathways (last week I stepped in dog droppings in someone’s garden, so it is not just cats that soil yards). Children are very rarely, or never, seriously mauled by domestic cats. Cats are simply better suited for the city than dogs because they are smaller, cleaner and nonthreatening to passers-by.

In the public’s emotional mind, 60-plus years on the throne will have inextricably identified the British monarchy with its (possibly) longest-serving Queen, having set the Royal bar to virtually unattainable heights for even the “Wills and Kates” of the succession order. For the people – and they’ll always be the ones that count – the Queen has become the monarchy and the monarchy has become the Queen. Ironically, the Queen’s uniquely personal success may well prove a harbinger of the Crown’s eventual constitutional demise. Once she’s gone, the falling “republican” dominos of the Commonwealth countries may well hasten Britain’s process of rethinking its constitutional foundations. Indeed, that process has already started with a debate on an elected House of Lords. What must not happen is for the monarchy simply, over time, to become the victim of popular indifference.

School trustees right to stand on principle Is it legal for the provincial government to fire dulyelected school board trustees? The education minister will fire the Cowichan District trustees if they don’t file a balanced budget by the end of this month. Five of the trustees ran for election on a platform
to restore some of the services that have been cut from their district in the last three years. The community elected them based on that and they kept their word, voting 5-4 to submit a restorative budget to the government. In order to file a balanced budget, the trustees would have to cut even more services from the schools in the district, thereby betraying the people of the community who elected them. Greater Victoria School District trustees would be on the firing line alongside those in Cowichan, but for one vote. What services did our trustees have to cut to keep their jobs? Contrary to what we hear from government about how they are spending more money on education and how there are fewer students every year, our school districts are forced to continue cutting programs and services to comply with the School Act and balance the budget.

Each week, garbage trucks rumble through Greater Victoria neighbourhoods, spiriting away all the rubbish that can’t be – or wasn’t – recycled. For many people, household trash is a problem that is out of sight, and often out of mind. But this Sunday (June 24), Hartland Landfill is opening its doors and offering tours. People can see the final resting place for all those apple cores, chicken bones, plastic bags and food wrappers casually tossed in
the trash. “For residents ... this is a chance for them to see where all their garbage disappears to,� said Monique Booth, the communications co-ordinator with the Capital Regional District. “They can see the active face where we are landfilling.� The event doesn’t feature shockingly large fields of household trash, but offers education on the upcoming kitchen scraps program, which will phase out organic waste from the landfill by 2015. People can also learn that the landfill generates enough electricity via methane to power 1,600 homes
and that 26 per cent of trash at the site is paper or wood products. About 13 per cent is plastics. “We are hoping to let people know how a landfill works, to raise awareness on how waste is managed in the Capital Region,� Booth said. “This is the only landfill we have.� The landfill took in about 136,000 tonnes of municipal garbage last year, and 144,000 in 2010, which is dumped and buried in a section called Phase 2. Between the 1950s and 1997, Phase 1, the original dumpsite, was filled to the brim with 4.5 million cubic metres of trash (for com-
parison, B.C. Place Stadium has a volume of about 2.6 million cubic metres). Phase 1 was sealed in plastic, capped with soil and is now 40-per-cent covered with 10,000 trees and shrubs. Phase 2 has space for 10.3 million cubic metres of trash (nearly four B.C. Place Stadiums) and is expected to last until 2035. There is no Phase 3. People are welcome to attend the Hartland Landfill open house on Sunday, from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., at 1 Hartland Ave. It will not be open to accept garbage. editor@oakbaynews.com

Help your visitors travel worry-free. With the summer vacation season drawing near, some of us will be hosting family and friends from abroad and looking to make their stay as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. There are a number of things you can do to take good care of your guests, like ensuring they are properly covered in case they need medical attention during their visit. Before they arrive, discuss the importance of having travel insurance protection for the duration of their stay. Medical expenses for nonBritish Columbian residents are not covered by the provincial government. If your visitors arrive with no travel insurance protection, BCAA’s Visitors to Canada Travel Insurance coverage can provide up to $300,000 in emergency medical protection. BCAA’s Visitors to Canada Travel Insurance offers coverage for items such as hospital expenses and prescription drugs, as well as other options like trip cancellation insurance. In addition, coverage is worldwide (except in the visitor’s home country), as long as the majority of their time is spent visiting in Canada.
TRAVEL INSURANCE WITH
MARCI-LYN BRAITHWAITE requirement. For example, the Parent and Grandparent Super Visa allows relatives to visit for up to two years, and travel insurance coverage is required for the application. BCAA’s Visitors to Canada Travel Insurance can be purchased for visitors coming to Canada on a Super Visa, to meet the application requirement. It pays to do your research and seek out the right travel insurance policy. Nonresident health coverage rates vary by province, type of treatment and the patient’s condition, but in general, a daily hospitalization rate can be quite costly. Call or visit your nearest BCAA location to learn more about how BCAA Visitors to Canada Travel Insurance can help protect your guests from costly medical expenses, or go to bcaa.com/visitors to learn more.

Truck traffic talk stalls Truck route development not viable, say councillors Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
A chat with major players could help ease concerns on Hampshire Road, but a truck route isn’t in the works for Oak Bay. In response to a September 2011 letter from a resident concerned over the amount of truck traffic in the 1700 block of Hampshire Rd., municipal staff did some traffic counts of trucks with six wheels or more in the area – the district only has equipment to count wheels not weight – and found a range of 38 to 102 trucks per day. The resident asked that the municipality consider asking truck traffic to use Foul Bay Road and Monterey Avenue.
“You can’t really do this in isolation on a given street,” said Dave Marshall, director of engineering services. A truck route would need to be looked at on district-wide basis. “I’m not sure we’d see that much difference (with a truck route),” said Mayor Nils Jensen. With a low percentage of truck traffic, staff didn’t recommend embarking on a truck route development for Oak Bay. Staff will take up a suggestion from Coun. John Herbert and call the companies using large trucks in the area and have a discussion about the residents’ concerns. cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

Victoria Human Exchange Society turns 20 News staff
Every few minutes, the hum of Linda’s cellphone vibrating against the table glass interrupts her words. From morning until night and all hours in between, Linda answers calls from some of Victoria’s most vulnerable and marginalized people. Linda – whose last name is withheld to protect her privacy – had planned to retire from banking and spend more time with her seven grandchildren when she first heard about transitional housing providers, the Victoria Human Exchange Society. Six years since the 65-year-old thought she was signing up for a volunteer job “stuffing envelopes,” she sits at the kitchen table of Edith Gulland House in Saanich, the women’s home where she lives and volunteers as a facilitator. “If someone calls at 1:30 in the morning needing

Submissions and questions from the public in relation to the Annual Report will be considered at that time as well.
to talk, you’re darn rights I’m going to listen,” says Linda, also the chairperson of the society. “I’ll grab a nap tomorrow afternoon. That person needs me now. If I don’t talk to them, how do I know they’re not going to hang up the phone and commit suicide or relapse?” Linda is proud to volunteer for the society that has largely flown under the radar since its inception in 1992, sparked by the death of a homeless man beneath the Johnson Street Bridge. Now on the society’s 20th anniversary, Linda’s reaching out. “Closing a house is just heart breaking … but if we don’t get some help soon, we are going to have to close a house and it will be this one. The cost of everything’s going up and donation’s are going down.” The Victoria Human Exchange Society has a monthly operating cost for rent and utilities of about $20,000 – the same amount the society receives annually from a provincial gaming grant. editor@oakbaynews

Greater Victoria School district drafts needs-based budget Budget exercise to demonstrate spending gaps in education Natalie North News staff
Greater Victoria School District trustees haven’t taken the same stand as their counterparts in Cowichan, but they have made new moves toward restoring education funding by identifying exactly where their balanced budget falls short – and by how much. Unlike in Cowichan, where trustees face the threat of termination since having submitted a deficit budget to the Ministry of Education, Greater Victoria trustees passed a balanced budget submitted to the ministry in April. But the SD 61’s $171-million operating budget is likely not the only budget they’ll submit this year. On June 11 members of the board’s operations, policy and planning committee unanimously passed a second budget that identifies the need for an additional $48,463,915 to meet the educational needs of students. The needs budget provides a detailed breakdown of the actual costs associated with district’s needs – from staffing to supplies – as identified by school planning councils and community members throughout the school year. “It’s what the community thinks is necessary,” said board of education chairperson Peg Orcherton. “This is from the community … and we’re hopeful to start using it as a basis in our (2012-13) budget delib-
erations, as the realities of what we can propose.” The budget advisory committee presented the document to the board of education for approval at its June 18 meeting before it was sent to Education Minister George Abbott. In an accompanying draft letter to Abbott, Orcherton outlines four key factors that contributed to the need: insufficient funding for special needs students; consumer prices and cost of living increases, coupled with expanded mandates of the education system; partially-funded provincial labour settlements; and loss of funding due to enrolment declines. In the past, the board has submitted a “restorative budget” document, based on 2001 operational costs and funding. The restorative budget focused strictly on the cuts made in the previous decade and didn’t take into account declining enrolment and school closures. The question of whether or not to submit the needs based budget in lieu of a balanced budget for 2012-13, is one trustees will encounter again in September when the planning process begins. “That would be quite a lengthy discussion and debate, I would expect, but it does show from the community’s perspective, what the needs are,” Orcherton said, adding that the 2012-13 budget will be especially difficult for a number of factors. Among those considerations are the board’s spending of a one-time $349,541 surplus this spring and the ministry’s decision to freeze funding for three years without taking into account increases in operational costs. nnorth@saanichnews. com

HOT TICKET A Portrait of Myfanwy Pavelic
BAY NEWS
Movie Monday will feature a Portrait of Myfanwy Pavelic by filmmaker and artist Agustin Luviano Cordero. The film shows in the Eric Martin Pavilion of the Royal Jubilee Hospital on June 25 at 6:30 and 8:15 p.m. Admission is free; donations welcome.
Crew packs a punch in six words SixWordSkits produces five videos each week Erin McCracken News staff
Six words can say a lot. Legend has it that Ernest Hemingway thought so, rising to the challenge of penning a complete work in six words: “For sale: Baby shoes, never worn.” Taking a page from the American author and journalist, Victoria residents Darryl LeCraw and Alex Miller recently began filming skits featuring just six words of dialogue. A friend of LeCraw’s mentioned the Hemingway legend, given the elaborate nature of a series of online shows that LeCraw and Miller started producing in 2009. Though they continue to produce The Skit For Brains Show, their small, tight-knit group of cast and crew is now focusing much of its time filming SixWordSkits. Using just six words, they tell stories of zombies, revenge and
even a sea monster. “We’re big fans of the nonsequitur, like Monty Python, where at the end of it something happens where you didn’t see it coming,” says LeCraw, 32, a warehouse support worker by day. “Absurdity,” adds Miller, 27, a carpenter. The rules seem simple: actors can only say a maximum of six words in a skit, repeated words don’t count. Words can include slang and popular lingo. “Weird mouth noises” don’t count, Miller says. “We reserve the right to modify and amend the rules whenever we think it’s funny. “By limiting us, it challenges us to come up with more action, more facial (expressions) and gag jokes,” he explains. “It’s sometimes easy to come up with the idea, but getting it to the point where it’s like, ‘Yes, let’s film this,’ that’s a good challenge,” adds LeCraw. They have filmed in Victoria, Oak Bay, Esquimalt and beyond, since an idea for a skit can strike at any time. “Darryl once filmed a skit in the middle of the ice fields of Alberta while working on a docu-
mentary,” says Miller. Despite the challenge of coming up with several skits a week, the team revels in pushing the creative envelope. “If we could pay the bills with SixWordSkits, we would make our day job writing (and) filming pilots for our own original shows (and) films,” Miller says. For now, the group is focused on building an audience, and having fun. “We know the film industry is a giant maze of broken dreams, popularity contests and failed careers, so as long as we can do what we want to do, we are happy,” Miller says. A new skit is posted at www. sfb.tv each day, Monday through Friday. emccracken@vicnews.com Actor Johnny Love hangs on a chain link fence with the help of skit co-writers, editors and producers Darryl LeCaw and Alex Miller, at front, while cameraman Josh Zed and soundman David Jones work on filming a SixWordSkit on Broad Street.

Ryder Hesjedal’s champagne moment with his first maglia rosa, won on Stage 7 of the 2012 Giro d’Italia.
Olympic support Prior to the naming of Canada’s Olympic cycling team yesterday Ryder Hesjedal announced he’d be donating money to the team, even if he wasn’t part of it. The Giro d’Italia champion said this week he’ll be donating half of the $10,300 proceeds from the sale of his Italian maglia rosa (pink leaders jersey) to the CAN Fund to support the cyclists who will be going to the London Olympics. The other half will support Ryder’s own initiative to help cycling grow. Ottawa cycling fan Derek King bought the maglia rosa, which is the first Hesjedal won at the Giro. King cheered Hesjedal on in person at the 2010 Tour de France, and plans to attend this year too. Canada’s Olympic road and time trial cyclists were expected to be named yesterday, with Hesjedal a clear front runner. Visit vicnews.com for updates. sports@vicnews.com

Philanthropy
The Victoria Foundation & Black Press Working Together – how philanthropy shapes our community Trent Henry and Tina Tejano, students at Dunsmuir Middle School, participate in the Victoria READ Society’s Capturing Stories program – one of various projects serving the Aboriginal community supported by the Victoria Foundation. Rose Guedes and her five-year-old son Pearson in the playground of Little Paws Pre-School at the Victoria Friendship Centre. The playground features a dugout canoe and miniature big house to help promote awareness and knowledge of Aboriginal culture.
Taking Steps to Instill Cultural Pride It’s circle time at Little Paws Preschool in Saanich and it begins with a drum and a song. “If we were to be attending a gathering in a big house, we’d be using masks and dancing and singing, so we try to incorporate as much of that into the preschool as we can,” said Leslie McGarry, culture and community liaison director for the Victoria Native Friendship Centre. Located at the Friendship Centre, Little Paws features Aboriginal culture as the foundation of its curriculum and program and it welcomes the Aboriginal community. “We encourage the parents and our elders to come in and share teachings from their generations about how things differ from 50 years ago,” said Margot Edwards, Little Paws Preschool director. “I wasn’t able to grow up with a lot of traditional culture in my life so the cultural component is really nice because I feel like my daughter’s going to have that advantage,” said Jessica Bender-North, a Métis First Nation member. “I never went to preschool but in kindergarten we never learned about our heritage or going out to watch salmon spawn and stuff like that,” said Jeff Lincoln, a Nisga’a First Nation member, “and to me, it’s really good that the children are gaining back what we never had when we were going to
school.” There are 20 children in the class, ranging from three to five years old. First Nations children have first priority, and then it’s open to the community. As a foster mom for 23 years, that welcoming philosophy means a lot to France Cyr. “Being that I am Caucasian, coming here gives the First Nation children that I look after an opportunity to be close to their people and their culture,” said Cyr. With the focus on all Aboriginal cultures from the local territories to Cree, Ojibwa and others, Little Paws is bringing pride and self-esteem to the next generation. “Many of them will step out and say, ‘I’m First Nations,’” said McGarry “Even if they are not clear about which territory they come from, there’s a sense of pride that’s instilled at this age level that carries through to school age.” School age and beyond. This story is based on a Vital People feature by reporter Vee Cooper that originally aired on CHEK News @ 5. The Victoria Foundation sponsors the weekly feature each Sunday to share the stories of people and organizations working on the issues highlighted in the Victoria’s Vital Signs® community report that the foundation publishes annually. To watch past features of Vital People or to read Vital Signs, check the Victoria Foundation’s website at www.victoriafoundation.ca
Other Aboriginal programs supported by the Victoria Foundation include: Hulitan Social Services – Journeys of the Heart cultural inter-generational program of language and motor skill development that builds on strengths of traditional teachings and languages. Irving K. Barber B.C. Scholarship Society – Administered by the Victoria Foundation, this province-wide program includes a series of Aboriginal education awards. See www.bcscholarship.ca Q’opthut Sul’hween Society – Intergenerational feasts within the Coast Salish territory to allow elders to share, exchange and foster the preservation of spiritual values, beliefs and traditional practices. Saanich Native Support Program – youth from 19 First Nations and three Friendship Centres competed in friendly sporting activities promoting health lifestyles. School Division 61 Aboriginal Education Program – for role model calendars presented at First Nations graduation ceremonies. Surrounded by Cedar Child and Family Services – Various programs to support positive outcomes for children in foster care. Victoria Native Friendship Centre – 13 grants have supported a variety of programs, including the operation of the Little Paws PreSchool.
Victoria READ Society–Aboriginal students from three school districts expand storytelling and production skills using digital technology in the Capturing Stories program.

STOP HAIR LOSS Dr. C. Hammoud, Ph.D. recommends:
To reduce or stop hair loss for men and women
#77
Super advanced formula #77 Has been used successfully for many years KING SIZE - 2 months supply
All Natural Ingredients
With powerful DHT block, the recognized #1 cause of hair loss. Unique combination of ingredients make it a guaranteed superior product. Helps to rejuvenate your hair for a fuller and thicker appearance. Early prevention of baldness for those that have a family history. Pattern baldness (Androgenic Alopecia) is caused by an oversupply of hormones DHT (Dihydrotestosterone). It damages hair follicles over time unless preventive action is taken. #77 feeds the roots of the hair by supplying them with the best hair nutrient ever discovered. Help for people who are on radiation or chemo therapy or taking other drugs that cause hair loss. Read testimonials on the Bell website with names, phone numbers and email addresses: “My hair has stopped falling out...and my hair looks shinier and healthier.�; “After 30 days use I noticed I am losing less hair! My hair now looks fuller and the texture has improved.�; “Hair loss was noticeably reduced with first bottle!�; “After using Bell Stop Hair Loss #77 for 2 weeks my hair was not as thin anymore and at the end of the treatment of 2 months my little bald spot on the back of my head was growing over with little hair. This product helped to restore my youthful look.�
SNORING?
SLEEP APNEA?
As recommended by Dr. Gifford-Jones M. D. Often snorers also have sleep apnea which causes being tired all day, high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, irregular heartbeats (per FDA website). Millions suffer needlessly and can stop their nightly ordeals. To my surprise, after taking Bell Snoring & Sleep Apnea Relief #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS For 20 #23 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON. Lost my husband because of sleep apnea in 2011. I had sleep apnea, too. I was scared to go to bed and have an heart attack like my husband. After taking Bell #23 I can now sleep for 5-6 hours peacefully without gasping for air. A blessing. Suzie Weigel, 60, Chattanooga, TN No need to make claims. Bell relays 100% truthful user’s free speech. No money is paid for it. No questions asked guarantee.
ACNE
By Dr. C. Hammoud Ph.D.
#60 Guaranteed better than all others they used say dozens of delighted users with full names and towns on the Bell website. Works by cleansing blood inside rather than attacking skin from the outside and leaving the actual cause untreated. Here are a few examples:
Sharon Tiffin/News staff
For art’s sake Pete Dunn does some plein-air painting on the rocks in Oak Bay. Dunn, a photographer, has recently taken up painting as a new challenge after getting a set of oil paints.
Eczema Psoriasis Rosacea Rashes
I had terrible Acne for 3 years and tried Benzoyl Peroxide, Proactiv, Aloe Vera and others. After 4 days taking the Bell natural product #60 it started to clear up my skin. My skin changed from terrible to beautiful. Mylene Theriault, 19, Sorel-Tracy, QC In 2 days my son’s face completely cleared up of acne. My son is 15 and suffered for 3 years. We used many products like laser, Clean Clear, Neem that did not work or burned his skin. Veronica Marden, Seminole, TX Unbelievable acne free beautiful skin Last couple of years I had acne and tried every product like Murad, Proactiv and antibiotics. Results with #60 were unbelievable. Thanks for giving me beautiful skin and my self-esteem. Nelisa Royer, 28, Doral, FL Within 6 days eczema cleared up completely. I believe #60 addresses the cause internally instead of the symptoms. Latifa Boutshik, 43, North York, ON I had severe psoriasis over 95% of my body. Last 5 years I have stunned every doctor and dermatologist. I spent tons of money on remedies. After I got Bell #60, I’ve never seen anything work as fast in my life. Within 2 days I saw my skin clearing up. I’m speechless. It was inexpensive compared with what I spent before.

No money is paid to them. Their reward is the relief they are getting. All say #60 works within days not months, not years. It’s more effective than what they used before.

early four years after Dave Calder and Scott Frandsen were the first Canadians on the podium in Beijing, the men’s pairs rowers are ready to turn Olympic silver into gold. London 2012 is the last chance for them to take top spot as a team. If their intense training regimen and five years of rowing together are any sign, it’s also their best. Unlike in Beijing, when the pair had but a few months training together prior to the Games, Calder, a resident of Saanich, and Frandsen, who hails from Kelowna, have spent the better part of the last 30 months in full-time training. Under coach Terry Paul, Calder and Frandsen train together six times per week on Elk Lake; three times weekly in the weight room at the Pacific Institute of Sport Excellence; twice on rowing machines at PISE; and also take road bikes around Greater Victoria. Benefits of the program, one that requires a 7,500-to 9,000-calorie diet, reach beyond the physical. “We know how we both like to race,” Frandsen said. “Often a lot of things can go unsaid because we both know what the other’s thinking.” The amount of time spent together creates a healthy amount of friction, Calder added. “We spend an abnormally large amount of time together in a mental and physical state of great exertion and it forges an incredible bond, a bond that can handle us getting pissy at each other every once in a while,” Calder said. “Like any relationship, you have

The two will row for Canada in London at the 2012 Olympic Games. your good days and bad days.” One of those bad days came in 2011 when the pair rowed into fifth place at the world championships, in Bled, Slovenia. It’s a part of their history together that they chalk up to a short-lived change in the racing schedule, which disturbed the team’s rhythm, but left them better equipped to handle future challenges. “It wasn’t the end of the world and it left us pretty hungry for the winter of training,” Calder said.
After five years as a team, and attempts from both halves of the pair to leave competitive rowing, the end is finally near. Frandsen, who turns 32 next month, will return to a position with Royal Bank of Canada in Vancouver in September. If he’s enjoying his career and can handle life without rowing, he won’t return. At 34, Calder, on leave from his position with the Ministry of Energy and Mines, is more certain
these Olympics will be his last. “I feel I’ve had an incredible rowing career – I’ve been racing for Canada since I was 15 – and I’m really happy to have this as my last Olympics. I feel really healthy about ending on this high note.” Calder said his wife, Rachel, who has heard him claim retirement from rowing three separate times, won’t believe it until he’s home in Saanich once the 2016 Games begin in Rio de Janeiro. nnorth@saanichnews.com
