Be alert to fraud Central Saanich police asking people to be aware of bank account access via email Devon MacKenzie News staff

Central Saanich police are sending out a warning about ongoing fraud efforts entering homes via email.

The fraud originates from criminals who try to represent your banking institution via an unsolicited email requesting passwords and account information, explained Cpl. Janis Jean of the Central Saanich police.

“The emails can be very convincing and the suspects upload graphics of bank logos to make it appear legitimate,” she said, adding that often the email address or link will include a portion of the name of that bank.

“Once these Jean said the emails usually include a paragraph criminals have that about online banking secuinformation your rity and the bank’s efforts to improve it. money will be gone.”

“This can give some peo–Cpl. Janis Jean, Central ple a false sense of security, Saanich Police Service (but) don’t be fooled,” she cautioned.

In the text of the emails criminals will often represent a banking situation or circumstance that prompts the reader’s immediate attention and response. The circumstances usually suggest there’s been a security breach in the account and will prompt the recipient to log in and enter their personal banking information.

“Once these criminals have that information your money will be gone,” Jean said.

The Central Saanich police are reminding everyone that no legitimate banking or lending institution will solicit any password or account information via email or telephone. If in doubt, contact your financial institution by phone and if you get suspicious emails simply delete them from your inbox. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com – With files from the Central Saanich police

Reay Creek remediation complete Victoria Airport Authority completes major environmental initiative Devon MacKenzie News staff

Devon MacKenzie/News staff

Sidney Meet Up is raising money to help Coen Wallace’s fight for a new kidney.

Sidney group helps family Devon MacKenzie News staff

A local group is coming together to raise funds for a family in need.

Three-year-old Coen Wallace is in desperate need of a kidney transplant, and the family will spend a good portion of the upcoming months in Vancouver at Children’s Hospital.

“I do a lot of work in the community and this is a cause that I felt I really needed to get behind,” said Sidney Meet Up member, Michelle Carlini.

The Wallaces are currently waiting to hear if a kidney will be available for Coen but in the meantime require several trips a month for checkups and monitoring from their home in North Saanich over to Children’s Hospital.

In order to assist the family financially through this time of hardship, the group will be holding a social evening featuring MP Elizabeth May as the guest speaker and a silent auction with 100 per cent of the proceeds going to the Wallace family.

The event happens Monday, Nov. 12 from 6-9 p.m. at Sea Cider Farm and Ciderhouse (2487 Mt. St. Michael Rd.) Carlini says the evening will feature cider, appetizers and entertainment along with the silent auction and guest speaker.

Tickets for the event are $40. Visit sidneymeetup. com for more information or call 778-426-4491. reporter@peninsula newsreview.com

A large project started earlier this year to restore a section on Reay Creek on airport land has been completed.

The major restoration project began in 2011 during the planning phase of a program to clean up the area. A request for proposals process began in the spring and construction actually began on the restoration during a month long period from Aug. 15 to Sept. 15.

“The actual physical work on this project started in the summer because we had to work within a fisheries permit and they give you a window in the dry period,” explained James Bogusz, director of airside operations, technology and environment for the Victoria Airport Authority.

Reay Creek is a fish bearing stream that runs through the airport’s east industrial area, through Sidney and then drains into Bazan Bay. The remediation project had been initiated to improve stormwater quality from historically contaminated areas of the creek.

“Leading the way in environmental management is a core focus of our organization,” said Geoff Dickson, president and CEO of the Victoria Airport Authority, in a press release. “We took a good look at options for how we could improve the stormwater coming from airport lands.”

The project consists of a new 200 metre long diversion channel that incorporates aquatic habitat features such as rocks and wetlands plantings to provide habitat for a variety of aquatic species. The new channel will be used to divert stormwater drainage around the existing

A restored Reay Creek. The area around it has been upgraded to better reduce the potential for contamination to enter the creek. creek channel, which has been converted to a bio-remediation wetland.

Bogusz said the wetland will help filter out stormwater pollutants and improve water quality.

“All the work put in by our staff and contractors greatly reduces the potential for new contamina-

tion to enter the creek, allowing the bypass channel to avoid the most contaminated areas while it is given a chance to heal.”

The project cost around $220,000 to complete, all of which was funded by the Victoria Airport Authority.

“This area, being a (Second World

War site) has had a lot of contamination over the years, and it was just due time to do something in the area to clear it up,” said Bogusz. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com – With files from the Victoria Airport Authority

Saanich called for its own federal riding Kyle Slavin News staff

Saanich residents are currently represented by three members of parliament, as federal electoral district boundaries dissect the municipality into three different ridings.

But council and some vocal residents are urging the government to create a Saanich-only riding in an attempt to quell confusion and increase voter turnout.

Coun. Judy Brownoff brought forward a recommendation to council last week asking that a letter be sent to the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission supporting a substantial reconfiguration that would see all of Saanich represented by one MP. “Our residents in (Saanich-Gulf Islands) have none of the same kind of issues that would be happening on the Gulf Islands or on the Peninsula,” she said. “My area is Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca. As a municipality, we have little in common

with View Royal, Colwood, Sooke.”

Every 10 years the federal government re-examines riding distribution, based on new census numbers. Earlier this year, changes to the three Greater Victoria riding were proposed, none of which would unify Saanich in a single riding.

“Are they really trying to get rid of Saanich as an identity?” Brownoff asked, citing the names of the proposed ridings — Saanich-Gulf Islands, Esquimalt-Colwood, and Victoria — all of which would contain a piece of Saanich. She also specifically noted that the proposed Esquimalt-Colwood riding would contain Saanich municipal hall, as well as all of Saanich west of the Pat Bay Highway.

“I think it behooves the federal government to ensure whatever way they’re trying to address this, it’s not just based on numbers,” Brownoff said.

While the government said the main goal of redistribution is to

ensure “each electoral district contains roughly the same number of people,” it acknowledges there are other considerations taken into account, including communities of interest, identity and an electoral district’s history. In B.C., the target number per electoral district is 104,763. Saanich’s population, based on the 2011 census, is 109,752.

John Schmuck, president of the Quadra Cedar Hill Community Association, says his community would be “slashed right down the middle” if the proposed boundaries are approved.

“It takes away any cohesion of the community,” he said. While Schmuck was originally in favour of keeping the existing ridings, his community association wouldn’t be opposed to a Saanich-only electoral district.

“It would be the least of all evils,” he said. “You hope common sense will prevail, and we can have good governance, because that’s the important thing that needs to come

from this: good governance and community cohesion.”

There was a riding redistribution meeting in Victoria on Oct. 17, which Saanich missed, but council has until Oct. 31 to provide a written statement to B.C.’s independent electoral boundaries commission. Brownoff’s recommendation to council to do just that received unanimous support.

“To use the numbers game only, I think is doing a disservice to voters. … I think what you want is a cohesion, so that the voters appreciate where they live, what they’re following and where they get to vote,” she said.

“I would hate for these electoral boundaries to be based on political reality, as opposed to on-theground how people feel, where they live, where they pay taxes. Our big concern should always be how we improve the system to get higher voter turnout, not to confuse the system even more.” editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Council questions housing survey Industry report presented to North Saanich Devon MacKenzie News staff

District of North Saanich council members heard a presentation recently from Robin Richardson, vice-president of operations at Scott Plastics, on the housing survey done within the industrial sector on the Peninsula.

Richardson’s aim was to illustrate the need for affordable housing on the Peninsula and he brought forward several different points during his presentation.

Richardson explained he found that only 26 per cent of employees questioned in the survey who work at one of the industries live on the Peninsula and he also noted that 27 per cent of respondents who don’t currently live on the Peninsula would be interested in renting on the Peninsula. According to Richardson, 44 per cent said they would be interested in purchasing.

But Richardson had to answer to some tough questions from Mayor Alice Finall who was skeptical of his finding that approximately $80 million of payroll a year from the industrial sector on the Peninsula (out of $110) leaves the community.

“How do you substantiate the $80 million figure? Most of these people pay rent or a mortgage, and any other (living) costs, so that money doesn’t stay in the community anyway,” she said.

Councillor Celia Stock was more supportive of the presentation, acknowledging that the group understands there is lack of affordable housing on the Peninsula.

“All of us on council agree we need affordable housing,” she said.

The survey was conducted on employees from the Ramsay Group, Scott Plastics, Viking Air, Axys Technologies, Seastar Chemicals and Thrifty Foods. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Traffic cones divide the repaved lanes of the Pat Bay Highway leading up to the Swartz Bay ferry terminal in North Saanich. The province spent an estimated $2.3 million to upgrade the pavement on Highway 17 from Lands End to Wain roads.

Fire hall work on track NORTH SAANICH — The upgrades and new construction at North Saanich fire hall are moving along as expected, according to Fire Chief Gary Wilton.

“The project should be on time and on budget,” he said during the

council’s Oct. 22 committee of the whole meeting.

According to a staff report, there was a small overrun in the legal budget for $2,004, but it was covered by the contingency budget.

BIA could ward off the economic doldrums Business vacancies rise to 40 in downtown Sidney - proponents say a BIA might be able to help Steven Heywood News staff

Ask the proponents of a business improvement area marketing levy in Sidney, and they’ll tell you they are seeing support grow for their idea — one they think will help the downtown core avoid economic doldrums.

A series of three open houses at the Mary Winspear Centre and the Sidney Pier Hotel garnered more signatures of support — or at least positive interest — for the efforts of the Sidney Business Development Group to get a BIA in place.

Chair of the SBDG, Cliff McNeil-Smith says they saw more than 100 individual business and property owners and general residents attend the open houses.

“We’re pleased to report that on our survey form, all business checked ‘yes’ to support the proposal or they want to consider it further,” he said. “Not a single attendee checked ‘no’ to not support.”

He said there are 50 to 60 specific supporters from local business — a number he would like to see grow.

That’s considered very positive in a community where past BIA proposals have been met with disdain and rejection. This time, McNeil-Smith said they are meeting with as many owners, managers and business groups as they can to win support.

“This is about creating a strong marketing

“There are around 380 businesses in the proposed coverage area.”

Of those, McNeilSmith added that there are currently 40 vacant properties, due to business closures — something he said does not bode well for Sidney.

“That’s the highest (number of vacant stores) that anyone seems to be able to remember. This is an economic situation that we have to try and fix right away.”

He said he is hearing one of the reasons businesses have closed is that their rents are too high and their revenues have not kept pace.

One of the ways a BIA can help, he explained, would be to help generate more specific customers to the area — from local shoppers to day-trippers from

around the Island. In that way, owners would have a more consistent opportunity to reap the benefits from that marketing.

Convincing people of the benefit is the main challenge. Up front is the BIA’s proposed levy of $1.22 per $1,000 of assessed value of com-

mercial properties. By example, a business valued at $1 million would pay $1,220 per year.

Should the BIA proceed (and it would ulti-

mately be up to Sidney town council to approve and act as collector), McNeil-Smith said its members would generate $250,000, the lion’s

share of a proposed budget of $317,000. The SBDG is hoping for an additional $67,000 in partnerships and associate memberships.

Most of that money ($185,000) is for marketing campaigns.

McNeil-Smith said the group is proposing that the BIA levy increase 2.5 per cent each year after the first (2013).

That, however, would be a decision resting with the BIA’s voting members — which is anyone who signs on.

Over the next two to three weeks, the SBDG will continue to meet with business and property owners.

They will generate a final report and recommendations to present to town council in late November.

OUR VIEW

Coast residents lucky, this time Complacency is one of the biggest fights facing proponents of emergency response in the case of a natural disaster.

As the province learned during the recent Great Canadian Shake Out — a day of earthquake preparedness drills and awareness — most people are not prepared to fend for themselves On the plus side, for the it appears B.C. recommended municipalities have 72 hours after disaster strikes. taken disaster First rehearsals seriously responders say it takes an event — not unlike the weekend’s earthquake on the north coast — to spark at least some action. It also seems the province isn’t all that prepared to warn the public when a potential disaster does occur. There are reports that it took more than a half-anhour for B.C. emergency officials to issue a tsunami warning following a magnitude 7.7 quake near Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Islands) Saturday night. U.S. officials got the word out faster, and only then were communities on the islands and along the coast able to get into response mode.

On the plus side, it appears B.C. municipalities have taken disaster scenarios and rehearsals seriously and are prepared to take matters into their own hands. Many acted on the first alerts available, not waiting for the provincial bodies to act.

B.C.’s response to this quake will be reviewed over and over and people will learn what works and what doesn’t. Utmost in people’s minds must be how to better communicate an urgent notice, erring on the side of caution quickly, just in case, and coming up with means of reaching people who might not have access to the internet or even to power.

B.C. residents were lucky there was little earthquake damage and no significant tsunami — this time.

This would have been a declaration of war on B.C.’s most militant union, just as Clark and Education Minister Don McRae embark on a long-shot bid to end the decades of confrontation that have defined that relationship since teachers were relegated to the industrial union model of labour relations.

There was a brief debate on a motion to scrap the carbon tax, sponsored by northern members who see it as unfairly punitive on those who endure cold weather and long highway drives for themselves and the goods they need to have trucked in.

This was rejected too, after delegates were reminded that the tax now takes in more than $1 billion annually that is used to reduce business and personal income taxes. Scrapping it would amount to announcing across-the-board income tax hikes, contradicting 12 years of B.C. Liberal policy just before an election.

The good news for Clark is that the 2012 convention was a high-energy, well-attended event that contradicts the notion of a party in disarray.

The bad news is, nothing has really changed.

e: Sidney’s Corporate Communications Strategy and Town Talk.

With the internet revolution and the rush for control of communications, citizens must be increasingly vigilant about who controls the message and whether democracy is served by a Corporate Communication Plan, driven by industry.

Vision 2020, the Town’s Strategic Plan,

the first line in Town Talk, states is a vital tool to engage all community stakeholders. That is corporate new-speak, meaning those with vested or special interests.

It’s a difficult double-edged sword to wield.

On one hand, it can promote democracy and local culture by keeping the public informed and engaged, but at what

Readers respond: Star Cinema campaign, oil sands and Orr’s Long live Star Cinema I am writing in response to a letter that appeared in the Oct. 26 edition, regarding the Star Cinema.

I disagree with the letter writer.

People have a choice as to where to donate their money.

There are many worthy causes. The Star Cinema provides an opportunity for entertainment at a reasonable cost in Sidney.

Many seniors and low income families cannot afford the transportation costs involved driving to one of the 20 or more theatres you mention in Victoria.

While I do not go to the Star Cinema that often, I would be very sad to lose it. The Star Cinema is a small employer, supported by many volunteers.

Again, people have a choice. The Star Cinema is not asking for government handouts.

Long live Star Cinema!

Judy Moffat North Saanich

Support charities with your donations I endorse the comments made in Friday’s issue, to give money to local charities instead.

It appears we have lost a sense of priority in thinking that the upgrading of a theatre comes before the needs of single mothers with children to feed and clothe or those on low income, most of whom cannot afford the price of a seat.

The Star Cinema operates as a private business; therefore if it wishes to upgrade their facilities, despite it being a local atttraction, they should not expect the public to support them when donations are urgently needed for the Lions Food Bank, the Salvation Army or the local fire department, to help with their children’s toy fund at Christmas.

Feeling the loss of Orr’s butcher shop Brentwood Bay will feel just a little more empty without Orr’s Butcher Shop.

When our family moved here we were told they were the place to go for some of the most amazing meats around — Orr’s lived up to that reputation as far as I am are concerned.

The loss of such a small business is not insignificant for a village like Brentwood Bay. Not least because as we lose butchers and bakeries we further lose a connection to our food.

In many ways farming and food security awareness is growing here on the Saanich Peninsula, but we can never take for granted that such awareness and connection to food is permanent.

Thank you for the amazing product over the last couple of years. You will be missed.

Build awareness of oil sand impact Mr. Fletcher’s comments on counteracting “scientifically ignorant” coverage of topics like the oilsands pipelines. I agree that becoming better informed on these issues is critical, as our current decisions will lock-in the costs to global communities, environment, and economy for generations.

Mr. Fletcher cites an oilsands pioneer who quotes a scientific paper, “the entire oil sands operation is responsible for five per cent of Canadian emissions”. I’m sure Mr. Fletcher must realize these quoted emissions relate only to industry production pro-

cesses, and not the broader greenhouse gases from burning the oilsands-derived fuels in other sectors, or jurisdictions outside Canada. These points are likely what the individuals, he’s insulting in his article, are speaking to.

Unfortunately, the earth’s atmosphere and other systems know no boundaries based on international borders. Oil sandsderived fuel burned elsewhere still affects us, regardless of ‘counting’ methods. So, becoming informed and reading information closely is important, as it can be used in narrow, misleading ways. Suncor’s founder has reason to focus on a narrow viewpoint; I doubt we want to do the same.

We all have differing perspectives. Some focus on economic impacts, others look to broader elements equally important but harder to ‘monetize’. As an accountant, it was important for me to understand the state of the earth’s systems (atmosphere, ocean, land) based on human activities, as I already had awareness of how financial decision models often treat these elements (as invisible). An online resource that helped me is: Global Change and the Earth System, published by the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme, Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Authored by 11 scientists, with scientific contributions from a thousand others, it improved my awareness.

As we build our awareness, perhaps we can continue this important conversation in a meaningful and respectful way. Our sustainable future depends on it.

Deborah Rasnick Brentwood Bay

Comments possibly those of paid promoter Re: letter to the editor “Oil has real benefits.”

This letter was written by either someone who has not understood that the various proposed pipelines from the tar sands will deliver their product into ports and then by tankers to Asia.

So unless he drives in China his chances of using petroleum products will be very slim.

If he is aware of this, then his comments could possibly attributed to being a paid promoter or troll for the pipeline companies.

I’m happy to be riding a bicycle in Sidney and actively protesting the chance of oil spills on our coast.

Vision Matters Dr. Paul Neumann

Healthy Eyes.

Doctor Delivered.

What is 20/20 vision?

You may be pleased to hear that you have 20/20 vision and think you have perfect vision.

But do you?

Not necessarily. 20/20 only indicates how sharp or clear your vision is at a distance. Overall vision also includes peripheral awareness or side vision, eye coordination, depth perception, focussing ability and colour vision.

20/20 is the average visual clarity obtainable by normal healthy eyes. Since it is an average, it means that there are those that see better or worse than 20/20 and yet still have healthy eyes.

20/20 describes normal visual clarity or sharpness measured at a distance of 20 feet from an object. If you have 20/20 vision, you can see clearly at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. If you have 20/100 vision, it means that you must be as close as 20 feet to see what a person with normal vision can see at 100 feet. In the metric system, 6/6 is the equivalent of 20/20.

The ability to see objects clearly is affected by many factors. Eye conditions like nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism or eye disease influence visual acuity. Most people with vision slightly below 20/20 function very well, whereas some people who have better than 20/20 feel their vision is not satisfactory. Everybody’s visual expectations are different and satisfactory vision is far more complex than just being able to see 20/20.

If you feel your vision is not up to standard a comprehensive eye examination will identify causes that may affect your ability to see well.

Optometrists may be able to prescribe glasses, contact lenses or other vision aids that will help improve your vision. If the reduced vision is due to an eye disease, the use of ocular medication or other treatment may be needed. If necessary, a referral to a specialist will be made if an eye disease is found which warrants further investigation.

A proposed conservation area off the coast of the Saanich Peninsula would serve to protect the seabed from resource exploration.

Wayne Bourque, superintendant of the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve, and Brett Hudson, senior planner for the Ministry of Environment, made a presentation at the District of North Saanich committee of the whole meeting Oct. 22.

Their presentation was about a proposed national marine conservation area reserve that would encompass sections of the shore off the Saanich Peninsula as well as a large area in the Strait of Georgia.

The conservation area would

essentially protect the seabed from the exploration and development of non-renewable resources such as oil and gas and mining.

According to Bourque, the conservation area has been in the works for about 10 years but has faced concerns from municipalities and first nations about foreshore zoning and exclusion of areas important to socioeconomic development like ferry terminals and log boom areas.

“We’ve heard that some first nations feel that excluding areas like ferry terminals isn’t addressing problems that the (conservation area) should,” said Hudson.

Bourque assured the district council that the word ‘use’ was key in the conservation area’s mandate, but the proposal still garnered questions

Toy collections on display at Winspear Centre Steven Heywood News staff

There’s a little money in buying and selling toys — but for a few collectors at Sunday’s Victoria Toy Show in Sidney, it’s more about keeping their childhood memories alive.

Cobble Hill’s Lance Evans absolutely loves his large collection of pro wrestling toys. He says he has been collecting action figures and more for at least 25 years. He had on display at the Mary Winspear Centre event, buckets of wrestling figures — from Hulk Hogan to Rowdy Roddy Piper.

“My personal collection is humongous,” he said. “It’s a hobby.

I pick up a few collections here and there, take a few for myself and sell a few more at these shows.”

Evans said he has

loved wresting toys since he was a kid and has turned that enjoyment of both the sport and the toys, into a lifelong hobby. These days, he travels to shows, selling his wrestlers — among other collectables — and even takes part in auction sales to make those rare finds.

His most recent auction purchases netting him a bit of a profit and anything he makes on the toy show circuit is just gravy.

Sidney’s May Winspear Centre was filled with tables of collectables that appeal to kids of all ages. Plenty of children were there with their parents, looking for that special something. Adults, too, were pouring over memorabilia from their own era. One could spend hours going through the toy cars, action figures and more — many still in their

Paul Elliott of Richmond, B.C. displayed his collection of toy cars — some 300 of them. He said he found most of them in a couple of collections he purchased in Alberta.

His collection is mostly English metal vehicles and airplanes — toys he grew up with

as a child in England.

He said he had more than 100 of them himself, and came across a good collection at a toy show in Calgary.

“So I made an offer,” he said. “Then I met a guy in Edmonton at an actual car show and by chance, we started talking about toys. I ended up buying his collection.”

Elliott said he can make money selling them both at the shows and on the internet. But

he added he still enjoys having a few of the old English toys around.

Both Elliott and Evans had their wives in tow at the Sidney event — and both said they too enjoy doing it. They are, as it turns out, the ones who handle most of the actual business of selling the toys. While they share their husbands’ enthusiasm for collecting, it’s the boys who would probably take forever to sell their precious memories.

THE ARTS West coast works coming to Peninsula Gallery Ray Ward and Allan Hancock showcase West Coast works at gallery show Devon MacKenzie News staff

A new show, Two Artists, Two Visions: W. Allan Hancock and Ray Ward, is opening next week at Peninsula Gallery.

The two accomplished West Coast artists open the two-man show of new paintings at Peninsula Gallery Saturday, Nov. 3.

Known for his skill in capturing the character of his wildlife subjects, Allan Hancock has been

fascinated by the fragile beauty of the natural world since childhood.

From kinglets and sandpipers to the Kermode bear and sea lions, Hancock’s paintings are inspired by his experience of the outdoors. His recent tour of the Great Bear Rainforest with a group of 50 artists re-ignited his desire to protect the environment that all of us depend on. Hancock’s paintings have also been chosen by Wildlife Habitat Canada

Ravens of Klemtu by Allan Hancock will be on display next week at the Peninsula Gallery. and Ducks Unlimited to support their conservation work.

Ray Ward’s atmospheric landscapes res-

onate with the changing light, creating mood filled oil paintings that strike an emotional chord with the viewer.

Very particular moments, especially dawn and dusk or rapidly changing weather are a favourite subject of his.

Primarily a studio painter, Ward finds much of his inspiration on Vancouver Island.

Ward also made the trip to the Great Bear Rainforest sponsored

Panthers prepare to face Cougars

Jump rope and shoot hoops for heart and stroke

Peninsula’s five game win streak came to an end last week

A big crowd is expected for Friday night’s game featuring the two local teams.

The puck is set to drop at 7:30 p.m.

SIDNEY — The Heart and Stroke Foundation is on a mission: to inspire a generation of heart heroes and have children on Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands and Powell River take part in Jump Rope and Hoops for Heart.

“Children are a top priority for the Heart and Stroke foundation,” says Jaime Spyksma, school programs coordinator.

The Heart and Stroke Foundation is encouraging students, schools and families to get active together.

One way is through participating in the Jump Rope or Hoops for Heart programs.

Supporting Jump Rope and Hoops for Heart at your local school is a great way to get active and stay heart healthy while making a difference in the lives of children.

For more information contact Jaime Spyksma by email at jspyksma@ hsf.bc.ca or at 888-7545274.

The Panthers’ five-game winning streak came to an end this past week.

After racking up 15 of a possible 18 points in the league, the Panthers hosted the Westshore Wolves last Friday and were dropped 4-0.

The next day the team travelled to Kerry Park to face the Islanders and were once again met with defeat, this time taking a 7-4 loss.

A 4-4 tie in the third period during Saturday’s game held promise, but three unanswered Islander goals late in the period led the team to victory.

Panthers’ netminder Stephen Heslop took the loss between the pipes on Friday while Justin Samra took the loss on Saturday. Daniel Welch led the way against the Islanders scoring twice, while Zack Smith and Josh Adkins chipped in with singles.

“This past weekend was a

I think we all learned that if you take any game off in this league you will undoubtedly come out second best,” said Panthers’ owner Pete Zubersky.

Although the team couldn’t

manage to pull together enough to grab the wins over the weekend, the Panthers dominated the shot totals in both games and still lead the league in scoring even though they sit in third place behind the Victoria Cougars

and the Saanich Braves.

The club is now preparing to host the Cougars this Friday night at the Panorama Recreation Centre. The undefeated Cougars have not yet lost a game in regulation play.

Become a Psychiatric Nurse in your own community There is an urgent need for more Registered Psychiatric Nurses (RPN), particularly outside the urban areas of the province. And with the workforce aging – the average age of a Registered Psychiatric Nurse in BC is 47 years – the number of retirees from the profession is exceeding the number of graduates. Entry-level earnings start at $30.79/hour to $40.42/hour.

Train Locally – The only program of its kind in BC, students can learn within their local communities via distance education, local and/or regional clinical placements, and some regional classroom delivery.

This 23 month program is accredited by the College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of BC (CRPNBC).

Government student loans, Employment & Labour Market Services (ELMS), band funding & other financing options available to qualified applicants.

Knowing where to give is as important as knowing what to give.

The Victoria Foundation’s Victoria’s Vital Signs® report is a community-wide tool that helps to connect donors to causes that matter.

As a community foundation, we work closely with individuals in the community who wish to make charitable donations and leave lasting legacies. We have a front row seat to the pressing needs that face our region. For the past seven years, the Victoria Foundation has published Victoria’s Vital Signs. This report provides additional insight into how Victoria is doing as a community in 12 key areas such as the environment, the arts, education, public safety, and health and wellness – insight that philanthropists use to make informed decisions around giving. We encourage all members of the community to obtain a copy of Victoria’s Vital Signs, to talk to us, and join together in making our community an even better place to live.
