High tech fire maps North Saanich Fire Department is ready to launch new app Devon MacKenzie News staff

The North Saanich Fire Department will be busy breaking in some new technology this fall.

The department is in the process of phasing out the use of their old mapping systems. Through working with the municipality’s information technology department, have developed a way to link the fire department’s mapping system to the district’s geographic information system (GIS).

“This created more accurate mapping that was easier to produce and update,” said fire chief Gary Wilton during a presentation at Monday night’s council meeting.

He demonstrated the app that shows detailed aerial views of property boundaries, buildings and fire hydrant locations.

To make the system even more user-friendly, Wilton explained the fire department worked with the IT department to update their mobile computer application and tailor it to work on iPads. “(The iPads) are lightweight, small, easy to use and ten-fold cheaper than the old technology we have now,” said Wilton.

The department currently runs their old mapping systems on rugged laptops which cost about $8,000 apiece. The iPads cost less than $1,000 each, said Wilton, and will function more effectively with the new GISbased mapping system app.

“This system will be very beneficial to us,” he said.

“The app will run on and offline and the beauty of it is that it us automatically updated.”

The iPads will run the new GIS-based app and will be able to more accurately pinpoint addresses while also giving fire crews access to vital information like what a structure at a certain address is constructed from and how many meters of hose they will need to run from the hydrant to the fire.

“This is a tremendous achievement,” said Rob Buchan, the Chief Administrative Officer after Wilton’s presentation to council. “This is likely to be a system that hundreds of other municipalities will benefit from.” reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

It’s cool to care Sidney teens Marie and Anna Cragg start effort to stop bullying Steven Heywood News staff

Maria and Anna Cragg know what it’s like to be bullied. As students in elementary and middle school, they faced tormentors and took action to get themselves out of that situation.

Today, as Maria enters her final year of high school at Sidney’s Parkland Secondary and Anna starts Grade 9, they have started a social media effort to connect their peers with others who

really care and are brave enough to let it be known.

After talking with their mom, Angela, about the highly-publicized suicide this month of teen Amanda Todd as a result of bullying, Anna and Maria created Cool to Care. It’s a Facebook page they hope might be a catalyst in the fight to end bullying and to foster a more caring community — both in social media and face-to-face.

Both teens haven’t forgotten the personal connection that their peers

still have with each other. Anna herself doen’t use Facebook (although she does use YouTube) and Maria got into it to be able to communicate better with a cousin.

With Cool to Care, they think they have created a place in the digital world where people can offer kind thoughts and ideas to allow people who need that kind of connection to improve their situation in life.

New director for Mary Winspear Centre Bradley Edgett joins centre as executive director Devon MacKenzie News staff

The Mary Winspear Centre is welcoming a new executive director after Chad Rintoul left the position last month.

Bradley Edgett, originally from St. Albert, Alberta, comes to the Centre with a special knowledge of what it stands for.

“I worked at the Empress Hotel for 12-anda-half years in the art galleries,” explained Edgett adding, “That’s how I met Mr. and Mrs. Winspear.”

Through his job with the Empress selling art and eventually managing the galleries there, Edgett became close with the Winspears and even helped them do art installations in their homes.

“I learned about the family and centre through them without even really realizing it,” he said.

Edgett left his position with the Empress in 2008 and moved into the software sales industry in Vancouver where he eventually managed the sales team for all of Canada and the western U.S.A. “Metasoft helps non-profits source out funding so through my work with them I did a lot of work with (non-profit) boards much like the one here,” said Edgett.

Edgett’s wife Daryn, a pharmacist, got a job on the Peninsula and the two moved to the Island a couple of years ago.

“The Peninsula is an amazing place,” said Edgett. “It really is magical in that it has everything. Shopping, restaurants, great hiking and boating, it’s all here.”

Edgett said his goal with the Centre is to bring the Centre to the community and the community to the Centre.

“I want to make the Centre a place where

“We’ve got a great core group here and the staff are fantastic. Ian (Hennigar) and Chad (Rintoul) did a great job connecting with

the community and now it’s about bringing the community into the centre. I want to hear what they want out of it.”

Edgett said he welcomes input from

residents on the types of events and programming offered at the Centre. He can be reached at 250-656-0275 (ext. 223) or by email at bedgett@marywinspear.ca.

North Saanich council debates meeting costs Neighbourhood meetings anticipated to cost $1,060 this year; council holds off on a final decision Devon MacKenzie News staff

North Saanich neighbourhood meetings may all be held at the municipal hall next year.

At their meeting on Monday night, North Saanich council discussed whether or not holding neighbourhood meetings in various locations around the municipality is beneficial and cost effective.

“I don’t mind having the meet-

ings, but it seems to me that we have these meetings around the municipality and we get the same people coming (to all of them),” said Councillor Dunstan Browne on Monday.

“I’m not suggesting we have less of them, just that we change the format.”

A report from the municipality’s Director of Financial Services, Theresa Flynn, noted the cost of the meetings are $200 to $300 per meeting if held at a location out-

side of municipal hall.

Last year, the municipality spent a total of $840 hosting neighbourhood meetings (one was held at municipal hall) and this year the cost for the meetings is anticipated to be $1,060.

Coun. Celia Stock said she was in favour of hosting the meetings in neighborhoods around North Saanich because it gives people a chance to address issues with council in a less intimidating and formal environment than munici-

pal hall.

“It makes people feel great to be able to come talk to us,” she said. “At a smaller meeting people are more apt to come up and talk to us.”

Coun. Elsie McMurphy agreed, saying she regularly connects with people during the neighbourhood meetings she might not otherwise see.

“I’ve met a lot of people I didn’t know before during these (neighborhood) meetings,” she said. “I

think (having these meetings) is democracy in action and I think it’s really healthy.”

Mayor Alice Finall and Coun.

Ted Daly were both absent from Monday night’s meeting, and council voted to postpone making any descions on the matter until a full council was present.

The next North Saanich council meeting is on Nov. 5 and will be held in the council chamber at municipal hall. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Book Fest wins town grant Council approves $8,500 grant for inaugural event in 2013 Steven Heywood News staff

Town of Sidney council has agreed to help the fledgling Sidney Book Festival with a little seed money.

On Tuesday, Oct. 9, council voted to grant the organizers of the inaugural festival $8,500 from its economic development fund — but not without some debate. “Why do they need the $8,500?� asked councillor Kenny podmore.

Coun. Steve Price replied that

it’s to help organizers get the event off the ground. “It’s a one-time grant and it’s a good use of the economic development fund. The idea is it could make enough money to ensure it continues.�

The first Sidney Book Fair is proposed for May 2 to 5, 2013, and is being organized by the Community Arts Council. Town council was quick to point out that other levels of government and local business should be asked to help as well.

Coun. Mervyn LougherGoodey said he’s a bit twitchy

about the town being a main source of funds for the event, but likes the idea none-the-less.

For that reason, he reversed his initial position and voted with the rest of the council to support the grant.

Lougher-Goodey asked staff about the economic development fund and how much was left after this grant and others.

Chief administrative officer Randy Humble said it started out at $60,000 and with this Book Festival grant, is down to around $25,000. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

IN BRIEF - Town of Sidney Oct. 9

• An asphalt walkway will be installed along the frontage of 2350 Henry Ave. in Sidney. It will be 10 metres long and cost an estimated $600. • The town will apply for provincial money to install up to seven level two charging stations for electric vehicles.

Council approved a committee of the whole recommendation to seek rebates of up to $2,250 per charging station, should the town be able to buy and install each one for an estimated $3,000. • Sidney will look into hiring an events coordinator/community development officer.

They are estimating a cost of $25,000 for the new position.

Over the long-term, the town said the position could be rolled into an economic development role. • Town council turned down a $1,000 grant request from the Sidney Sister City Association to help pay the cost of a recent visit by students from Niimi, Japan.

Coun. Marilyn Loveless said the association told her that not getting the grant would

pose no hardship. • The Town of Sidney will write a letter to the B.C. environment ministry and ministry of energy, mines and natural gas, asking that the B.C. Building Code be amended to require at least one powered outlet in each new dwelling.

Discussion revolved around the latest trend towards the use of electric vehicles.

Coun. Tim Chad spoke against the idea, saying that it would add another level of red tape — and cost — for builders. Yet, Chad did eventualy vote in favour of the letter.

Tim Chad • Sidney will give $2,000 to the Sidney Community Radio initiative, being run by the Sidney Radio Group.

The money goes towards the cost of a feasibility study and tech-

nical report required for a broadcast licence application.

The Group is modelling their co-operative on Kootenay Co-Op Radio, a public, nonprofit radio station.

Coun. Tim Chad ws the only councillor opposed to the motion, citing a lack of business case from the proponents as well as a few other unanswered questions. “Who is going to be running it?� he asked. “Community radio, that’s the CBC’s job.�

OUR VIEW

Drivers need to get serious Drivers need to pay more attention. It could save your life and at least save you from a crash and the expenses that come with it.

A driver was seen this week going the wrong way on Beacon Avenue in Sidney. Seemingly oblivious to actions by other drivers and people on foot nearby, the driver of a red SUV headed the wrong way up the one-way portion of the road.

They paid no heed to arms waving, high beams flashing and calls to their error by at least one passer-by. One driver was astonished that the driver never even made eye contact with the people trying to get her attention.

In this case, other drivers stopped and let the other vehicle get up the street far enough to make a turn onto another road. Had the other drivers not paid attention to this, there could have been a serious crash.

Beacon Avenue has been one-way for quite a few years now — and the subject of some ongoing traffic planning controversy — so how a local driver could not know this is beyond belief. If the driver was not local, they sure missed some pretty obvious signs telling them they were about to go the wrong way.

Experienced or not, drivers can benefit from regular updates, upgrades or simply a refresher to their skills. This is especially more important these days, with all of the potential distractions out there in the form of electronic devices — cell phones, GPS systems and even small TVs in the dashboard. A driver might be perfectly capable of handling their vehicle, but if they’re distracted they could do some damage or really hurt someone.

A skills refresher would also do well to remind drivers that when the weather changes, so must how we drive. Slowing down and being more attentive to those skills we have becomes more important in rain and snow and low visibility.

Good tires and safety features are fine to have, but they can’t replace a good driver.

Nor will superfluous safety measures, such as concrete lane dividers, overcome the deficiencies of a distracted or unsafe driver.

It’s time drivers took their jobs behind the wheel a little more seriously.

If you are on a fixed income 1994 study that found effluent like they are, that’s a noticeable hit concentrations off Victoria mostly to one’s personal finances. flowed over from Vancouver and Looking back at the history of Seattle, despite both cities having sewage treatment in Victoria, it’s basic sewage treatment. The study hard to pry apart the ideology found that discharges from Victoria from the science and what actually had a “negligible” effect on the makes sense financially and waters in the strait. Victoria isn’t at environmentally. fault and we can blame Vancouver?

Greater Victoria actually had a Money well spent. sewage referendum in November In 2005 I was working at the 1992. Residents had the option of Ladysmith Chronicle when I met paying nothing, paying an extra Mr. Floatie (a.k.a. James Skwarok), $232 in taxes per $100,000 of the famously effective mascot that their property value (for primary upended science and the existing treatment) or paying $336 per rationale with poop humour. Soon $100,000 of property value (for after, I called a CRD environmental secondary treatment, which is what staffer, who, clearly annoyed and we are buying today). for the millionth time, explained If voting yourself a massive tax how the Juan de Fuca Strait diluted hike isn’t doomed to fail, I don’t and flushed Victoria’s effluent

to little discernible effect on the marine environment.

A few years later and after the province ordered secondary sewage treatment, the CRD’s official stance flipped 180 degrees.

That must have taken quite a bit of employee re-education over at the Fisgard Street office. Repeat after me: “Screened sewage is bad, secondary sewage treatment is good ...”

A major independent scientific review in 2006 on the impact of dumping screened sewage into the ocean agreed that the Strait of Juan de Fuca is pretty good at flushing effluent away, and that bacteria plumes only rise to the surface during major rain events. Basically, the risk to human health is minimal, unless you are swimming laps offshore in a storm.

The report didn’t let the city off the hook – it said Victoria’s contribution of contaminants is probably minor, but the CRD needed much better information on the toxicity and impact on the marine environment near the outflows. It didn’t recommend sewage treatment outright, but said flushing wastewater into the strait isn’t a long-term solution.

It’s tough to argue against that. But is jumping to expensive secondary treatment necessary? If some form of sewage treatment is inevitable, the tax burden needs to be phased in incrementally. Victoria is expensive enough. Suddenly raise taxes by $300 and something will hit the fan.

LETTERS Town can take the blame Re: Delay denied article Oct. 5, 2012 I find it interesting to read N.S. councilors comments on affordability of housing.

Elsie McMurphy is correct when she states “there will never be a guarantee that homes built by a developer will be affordable,” especially with today’s municipal attitudes.

In fact the municipality can take partial blame for this view with the addition of all the new fees for construction.

A better use of the amenity charge is another way to help ensure that at least some truly ‘affordable’ housing is built in our community. North Saanich council continually asks those seeking density increases ‘what’s in it for the community’ and rightly so. But when the amenity fee is paid in cash, land or other forms the council has the opportunity to use all or part of that fee in support of affordable housing.

Local housing workers and their families can afford is such a huge challenge it won’t be solved

by any one approach. Councils can help make private developments more affordable by streamlining the process and taking a hard look at fees and charges. But if they want an even stronger price guarantee they’re going to have to look at the way the amenity fees are spent and look more closely at ways that the housing support monies they contribute to the CRD can be used locally.

Ian Brown and I have, for over four years, pitched to all Peninsula councils the non-developer Chamber of Commerce limited approach to attainable housing. Unfortunately, no one on council has opened their ears to hear the message.

With Ian’s attainable housing proposal, a project would be run by a society and with municipal cooperation the price could be guaranteed.

Next time Ian gives his talk on his attainable housing solution, take a minute, listen and ask him how it works.

Denis Paquette Sidney

Readers respond: Public process, town hall Residents demand proper hearing

People need say on town hall

Councillors in North Saanich are elected to represent the residents, not work against them.

However, the majority of the council does not listen. To ask for a proper process is not stalling the process as Councillor Daly has stated. This is responsible stewardship. It can’t be tolerated to make a decision first.

Residents, demand a proper hearing before any final decision is being made. The Official Community Plan is a carefully crafted document and should be honoured and not, as Councillor Mearns told us, “the OCP does not have any meaning, we are changing it all the time.”

This clearly is a betrayal. A significant increase in density in North Saanich does not benefit the community but goes against the wish of the majority of the residents.

Hildegard Horie, North Saanich

I am writing to voice my opposition to the proposed $16-million Central Saanich municipal hall.

I have concerns, beginning with the cost. Really? $16 million for a new city hall? Surely there are better uses and higher priorities for that money.

How about roads? Streetlights? Sidewalks?

Then there is the increase in our property taxes. An average Central Saanich homeowner with a $500,000 house currently pays about $1,500 for the municipal portion of their property taxes. They will have to pay an additional $100 a year for 25 years for the project. That is on top of $80 a year for 25 years they will be paying for the new $9-million firehall still under construction. Then there’s the $50 a year for the projected increase in the municipal budget. Add it all up and you have a total tax increase of $230 a year — or nearly 15 per cent!

A 15 per cent increase in property taxes? That’s crazy.

Finally, I’m concerned voters won’t have a say.

Council approved the $9 million firehall without going to referendum. Instead, it used the alternative approval process (AAP) where taxpayers didn’t get a chance to vote but had to voice their opposition. Central Saanich council is considering using the AAP again with the proposed city hall.

I can’t imagine not going to referendum on this large expenditure. But it could happen.

Ron Norman Brentwood Bay

The thin edge of the wedge The proposal by the majority of North Saanich council to permit higher density housing is plainly another effort to bow to developer pressure and flies in the face of our OCP. Further and most importantly, it will not provide affordable accommodation for employees here, not, at least in the current, world-wide economic downturn, to which there is no end in sight. The proposal will almost certainly be the thin end of the wedge with higher and higher housing densities and their attendant problems.

Mayor Finall is absolutely right, more time should be spent examining it and taking into account the strong negative public reaction to the proposal.

H.U.P. Edwards North Saanich

Bending over backward for clarity I write to expand on the article of Oct. 10, entitled Seniors bend over backwards for Bikram in the interests of clarity. The program noticeably removes toxins from the body with the extensive sweating which occurs. Also, people who participate in the program would definitely reduce demands on the health care system.

This would benefit the general population by reducing health-care costs, and giving improved access to the system.

Taser changes working, judge tells MLAs Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA — Retired judge Thomas Braidwood is “very pleased with the response” to his recommendations on the use of Taser stun guns by police in the wake of Robert Dziekanski’s death in 2007.

Braidwood testified Tuesday before a legislature committee, after a senior RCMP official reported on training and procedure changes that led to an 87 per cent reduction in use of Tasers to subdue people.

Braidwood emphasized that he stands by the core finding of his inquiry, which is that police in B.C. should continue to use them with new training and strict new rules. Those province-wide rules include requiring police to determine that the subject is causing bodily harm or is about to, and mandate that “de-escalation” or crisis intervention techniques be taught and used before a Taser is.

He described a basic technique that could have been used when four Richmond RCMP officers approached a distraught Dziekanski at Vancouver International Airport. If one of those officers had simply pulled up a chair and sat down, Braidwood said, Dziekanski would likely be alive today.

Similar techniques can defuse even violent domestic disputes, rightly considered by police to be their most dangerous calls, said Braidwood, a former prosecutor who went on to serve as a B.C. Supreme Court and Court of Appeal justice.

The Taser rules also require police to have an automated defibrillator in the car, or in a supervisor’s vehicle in communities of 5,000 people or less. Independent testing of the stun guns is also required, and the rules apply to all municipal police in B.C. as well.

On Monday, RCMP Assistant Commissioner Randy Beck told the committee that new training began in 2011. By then the fallout from the Dziekanski case had led to a steep decrease in use of Tasers.

Braidwood noted that so far there has not been a corresponding increase in police use of guns.

“Have more police officers been injured while restraining violent subjects, or have officers discovered that other tools in their arsenal, such as training in crisis intervention techniques, have resolved many of these potentially dangerous confrontations without resorting to use of conducted energy weapons?” he asked. “It would appear to be a fruitful area for more research.”

Braidwood’s inquiry led not only to new Taser procedures, but also the establishment of B.C.’s new Independent Investigations Office, the civilian-led agency that began work this summer to take control of all police-involved incidents that result in death or serious bodily harm.

Braidwood said the steps taken since his inquiry have filled a gap in the civilian oversight of police that is “a fundamental tenet that distinguishes Canada from A Taser stun gun similar to totalitarian those used by RCMP officers. or dictatorial Wikipedia states.”

Since 2009, members of the Tsawout First Nation have been trying to raise the money necessary to rebuild the longhouse that burned down in July of that year.

In August of 2011, the community blessed the site where they plan to rebuild the longhouse â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a badly-needed centre for learning and teaching and a core part of Coast Salish culture.

However, the society that was formed to rebuild the facility is still searching out sources of funds for the project.

To that end, the Tsawout SNEPENEKS Cultural Society is hosting a gala dinner and cultural event on Saturday,

First Nations dancers will perform at a special gala Oct. 27 to help the Tsawout First Nation rainse funds for its new longhouse.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story.

The Queen Alexandra Foundation for Children has been renamed Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island.

Please welcome our new name! We are excited about the change because the new name tells the story of what we do and where we do it.

Our Foundation has a 90-year legacy of helping children thanks to you, our incredible donors and supporters.

We will continue to promote the health and well-being of children, youth and families all over Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. This includes funding for facilities, organizations, programs, and equipment for children in need.

If you would like more information or wish to donate, please visit childrenshealthvi.org or call 250-519-6722.

October 27.

Event co-ordinator Farrah Sylvester says the QELENSEN gala will be a celebration of Coast Salish culture, featuring entertainment and traditional food, such as halibut, salmon, oysters and prawns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many people from the community are working on this event,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding local youth will be serving each table.

Gala performances include illusionist Eric Bedard, award-winning Cree singer/songwriter Art Napoleon and TV star Adam Beach (CBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Arctic Air and Smoke Signals).

The gala also brings in the Snuneymuxw First Nation Dancers as well as the Cowichan Tzinquaw Dancers, who were part of the Vancouver Olympics opening ceremonies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are awesome,â&#x20AC;? said Sylvester, adding this is an important event in the Tsawout community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really feel the loss of the longhouse because it is the symbolic base of our culture,â&#x20AC;? she explained.

The event hopes to help bring the society closer to its goal of $300,000 to pay for the foundation of the new longhouse.

Parkland boys finish with win Steven Heywood News staff

Parklands’ senior boys soccer team finished their season on a positive note Tuesday afternoon, scoring a 4-1 win in Sidney over Vic High.

Both teams finished the AA tier two boys soccer season well behind the league-leaders. The win gives Parkland a final record of two wins and three losses. Vic High ends with one win, two losses and two ties.

Parkland carried the play for much of the match. The Sidney school’s Brazillian forwards — Pedro Bardora, Daniel Da Silva and Matheus Soares — kept the pressure on Vic High and accounted for all four of Parkland’s scoring, Bardora tallying twice.

Steven Heywood/News staff

Parkland Secondary soccer player Joad Hughes chases down a pass during their 4-1 win over Vic High in ther last game of the season Tuesday at home.

Coach Bryan Sutton said this was their final game, after he had to cancel another match due to the unavailability of his international players

next week.

“This year there were the two different tiers,” he said, “and that was good for us.”

Due to their record, the

team did not make the playoffs, Sutton said, adding there is room to grow for his young team.

Made up of Grade 11 and 12 players, the senior boys squad also brought in Grade nine and 10 students, as there was no junior program this year.

Sutton, who has been coaching for more than 10 years, said there hasn’t been a junior boys team for the last three years, making building up the talent pool more difficult.

As of Oct. 11, St. Andrews led the tier two standings, followed by Esquimalt.

In tier one, Stelly’s tops the division with 15 points (5-01), followed by Glenlyon Norfolk and Claremont. The AAA Island playoffs are Nov. 5 and 6 with Victoria and Stelly’s hosting.

People may try to steal your identify through online phishing, telephone scams and email spam, but mainly it’s done the old fashioned way — buy rooting through your garbage.

These days, people often toss utility bills and credit card statements into recycling or the trash, and leave it outside for pickup.

Even personal documents stored together in an unsecured location in a home, or mail left in the mailbox are a risk.

To highlight the growing problem of identity theft and the multitude of phone, email and Internet-based scams, the Better Business Bureau of Vancouver Island is hosting its second “Shred It! Secure Your ID Day” event on Friday.

In the parking lot at Tillicum Centre, the BBB and Access Records and Media Management will be on hand with a mobile shredder machine. People can destroy up to five boxes of paper documents for free.

“Part of the Better Business Bureau mandate is to educate people on not being victims, so people don’t have their IDs stolen or fall victim to scams,” said Rosalind Scott, president of the BBB Vancouver Island.

The Canadian Anti-Fraud Cen-

Common scams include elderly people get calls from people claiming to be a grandchild or nephew or niece who request money to get out of a jam (called the “emergency scam” or “grandparent scam”).

Scammers hack email accounts and spam friends with fraudulent requests for money due to supposed trouble while travelling overseas.

Some people are still tempted

by Nigerian email scams, inheritance scams, lottery and prize scams or foreign money order scams. Fraudulent “Microsoft” or “Apple” technicians have gained access to peoples’ computers through unsolicited phone calls.

“So many red flags come up, but unfortunately we live in tough financial times, where people get carried away trying to get something for nothing.”

Scott said.

“People need to stop and think: ‘Does this make sense?’

If you’re told you are a lottery winner, did you actually buy a ticket? Does it make sense that you’d get an inheritance from somebody you’ve never met from a country you’ve never set foot in?”

Shred It is Friday, Oct. 19 at the Tillicum Centre outside Old Navy from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more see vi.bbb.org/bbb-business-events.

tre stats show 17,000 people reported falling victim to ID theft in 2011 and who lost a combined $13 million. Canadians lost $64 million last year in what police call “mass marketing frauds” — a catchall for telemarketing, email and Internet scams and ID theft.

The BBB will also have an identity theft expert on hand to dole out helpful advice on avoiding scams and fraud. The act of shredding documents is no coincidence. Scott said the No. 1 trap to avoid is recycling un-shredded personal papers.

“The biggest trick is don’t leave personal documents lying around. Everybody gets credit card and bank statements in the mail and they can get stolen in recycling,” Scott said.

“We call it dumpster diving. The prime source for scammers is going through peoples’ garbage.

They’re not in there rooting for food.”

It’s such a pressing issue in Greater Victoria, BBB-VI is helping launch Scam Watch, a Shaw TV program that is scheduled to air next month. Scott and Victoria police commercial crimes officers will highlight common scams and frauds each week.

Police receive no end of fraud reports. Canadians in their 60s are the highest targeted demographic for scams.

Steven Heywood/News staff

Anna and Maria Cragg hope their Facebook page Cool to Care is part of a lifestyle change — to one where more people care and follow through with their peers.

Isolation is not the answer Continued from page A1

“We need teens to take control,” said Maria. “They need to take control of the problem. Bullying is a disease and we want to prevent someone from becoming another victim.”

Yet, the girls say they want the focus of their Facebook page to be on people — not on bullying.

While that issue was why they started Cool to Care, they say if they want the world to change, it has to be focussed on people and how to better care for each other.

To do that, they hope adults and teens can use Cool to Care to offer advice and resources and even simply be an ear when it’s needed.

“This issue will fade fast (in the media),” Maria said. “If more is just said than done, then nothing said was worthwhile.”

Their action is the Facebook page and in only four days, there have been 100 people visit and ‘like’ it. Some have left comments and all so far have been positive.

Just what the sisters had hoped.

One of the ideas that they have talked about there is positive pranking, an idea they learned from the Blog Brothers. It’s similar to random acts of kindness, they say, and can help spread positive messages.

It’s positive action that they, themselves, try to emulate.

Maria said she recently had lunch with a girl she didn’t know very well.

Treating people better, she continued, is the challenge.

“Doing it isn’t always easy,” Marie said. “It’s about doing the right thing, even when it’s hard.”

“If we can change one life, then this is going to worth it,” added Anna.

Cool to Care might exist in the social media world, but the girls think it will spread to the physical world as well.

Teens are connected into social media, Anna agreed, but added they do interact in person. That aspect of socialization hasn’t changed. It’s simply different than a generation or two ago.

Maria said being bullied physically can often drive a person to stay in class with a teacher, rather than spend lunch or recess outside in fear.

Online, the same thing occurs if they decide to cancel their social media accounts. In both ways, the victim is further isolated and that’s not the solution.

The Craggs hope that convincing people that it’s cool to care, a nice word can be said or a positive action will happen to draw people away from bullying situations.

Angela said the idea is to be a part of a large change. Such as, for example, how the attitudes around smoking changed and no longer holds the same ‘cool’ attitude.

As places like Cool to Care spread knowledge and help push away fear, the Craggs hope they can prevent others from being the next victim.
