Decoding the Sedins

Victoria duo research Sedin twin’s successful use of ‘servant leadership’ Travis Paterson Victoria News

Before the Sedin brothers were great in the NHL, they were great in Sweden.

But the transition to North America during their rookie National Hockey League season of 2000-01, and a few years following nearly derailed them.

An ongoing study by Carolyn Crippen, a professor of education at the University of Victoria, and doctoral student David Nagel, explains how the Sedins – Daniel and Henrik – are glowing examples of the servant leadership philosophy.

Using traits exhibited by successful servant leaders, the Sedins prevailed as honourable, respectful athletes in a violent and intimidating arena.

Crippen and Nagel captured the research in two international journal articles about serHenrik Sedin vant leadership.

“Their decision to stay was a crucial stage in their development,” said Crippen, a Rockland resident who never watched hockey until she stumbled on the Sedins in 2011.

The Sedins’ bush red beards of the time stood out.

“They were called soft, they were called sisters, they were called lots of things, but they decided to stay in Vancouver and it was a key moment of their life,” Crippen said.

The study includes site visits to games, practices and interviews with the brothers at Rogers Arena, with television and print media members Dan Murphy and Ian MacIntyre (who’ve watched the Sedins since Day 1), and countless hours of documenting the brothers behaviour on the ice.

If it’s game night, Crippen has the TV or radio on, scribbling constant observations.

New road access to ease bridge commute Jennifer Blyth Victoria News

Commuters were anticipating a smoother commute with the expected opening this morning of the new road connecting Victoria West to the Johnson Street Bridge.

The new road on West Side of Johnson Street Bridge, from the intersection of Esquimalt and Harbour Roads, was set to open before the morning rush.

The move will create more usable space for the contractor during construction and will minimize future impacts to motorists, the city says. The new road will eventually connect with the new bridge.

Mayor Dean Fortin was pleased to see the road opening to commuters ahead of schedule.

“We’re excited to see it open earlier than originally anticipated. It will make it easier for drivers right now and as we go through the construction process, and it will make it easier for (construction crews),” Fortin said.

The new route should help alleviate some of the congestion that has arisen through construction and will offer a greater sense of the final vision in terms of greenspace and public areas, he said.

The new approach to the bridge includes a temporary sidewalk and an extension of

the cycling lanes on Esquimalt Road. The road remains single-lane traffic in both directions and the area is an active construction zone with a posted speed limit of 30 km/h.

The E&N Trail connection at Kimta Road will remain open to pedestrians and cyclists with the existing pathway to the south side of the bridge maintained. Harbour Road will remain closed to vehicles at Esquimalt Road as work continues at the intersection until mid-November.

Pedestrian and cycling access will be maintained on Harbour Road.

In mid-November, a new two-way extension of Harbour Road south of Esquimalt

Road will open, providing access to the Delta Ocean Pointe Resort and future waterfront green space. In 2016, public land on the south side of the bridge will be consolidated to create more than two acres of waterfront park space.

The new intersection will be complete by November and will include new traffic signals and improved accessibility for pedestrians with crosswalks along all four sides of the intersection. The existing Johnson Street Bridge will continue to remain open throughout construction.

Despite fewer cruise ships making port calls in Victoria this year, the crusie business continues to be an important factor to the Greater Victoria tourism industry.

Cruise ship numbers down this year

Andrea Peacock Victoria News

The number of passengers brought into Victoria via cruise ships is down this year compared to last year, but the positive impact on tourism was still strong.

“The cruise ship business is our secret weapon to introducing hundreds of thousands of people to Victoria for the first time,” said Paul Nursey, CEO of Tourism Victoria.

Bruce Carter, CEO of the Victoria Chamber of Commerce added: “We’re not a oneindustry town, but tourism and cruise ships are incredibly important for our economy.”

According to the Oxford Economics Review of Victoria Cruise Impact study

10.375" X 2.857

from March 2014, cruise ship passenger and crew spending account for $33.4 million, or 68.2 per cent of direct spending in Victoria.

Last year, there were 481,733 passengers and 203 ship calls in Victoria. With only two more ships expected to come in this season, there have been 462,201 passengers so far in 2014.

The additional two ships have an expected 1,432 passengers each, which would bring the total number of passengers up to 465,065.

Prior to the start of the season, the projected number of ship calls for 2014 was 209.

However, there were three non-arrivals at the beginning of the season due to weather, said Ivan Watson, media relations officer at the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority.

The cruise ship season in Victoria ended Monday.

Carter said the current goal is to increase the length of stay for cruise ship passengers, and encouraging them to return to Victoria in the future.

“We’d like to find a way if we can make the stays longer for the cruise ships,” Carter said.

Nursey said although the stays are short, once visitors come to Victoria, they are highly likely to return.

“The challenge is getting people to come the first time,” he said.

However, not everyone is happy with the way the cruise ship industry is currently being operated in Victoria.

“The advisory level for emissions was

exceeded several times this year,” said Marg Gardiner, president of the James Bay Neighbourhood Association.

Gardiner said buses transporting cruise ship passengers in the city cause high traffic volumes, noise levels and high emissions.

She does not believe the economic impact from the cruise ships is necessarily a benefit.

“If you want to get a benefit you have to net costs,” she said. “You have to offset the economic impacts with the social and environmental costs. When you look at an impact without looking at the environmental or social cost, you are not being very forthright in declaring your full impact on a community.”

“I really knew little about hockey before this started,” she said of the research study which has “taken on a life of it’s own.”

With the Vancouver Canucks organization on board, granting the researchers full access, there studies are now focused on a third article due in 2016. That’s in addition to their initial paper in a 2013 edition of the PHEnix Journal (2013) and this summer’s update in the International Journal of ServantLeadership (2014).

The Sedins learned their values from a family and community that stressed inclusivity. They speak highly of their elder brothers, who modelled the parents values of fairness.

“When the Canucks lost Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final in 2011, the players were upset, and the Sedins were the only players who stayed to answer every question from the media,” Crippen said.

“They didn’t try to avoid what happened, they were forthright and honoured their role and responsibility.”

For Nagel, it’s been a treat to study the sport he always loved.

Now a father in a young family, Nagel can still recall listening to the games on radio while falling asleep during his elementary school years. He even gives back, part of a group coaching a Victoria Ice Hawks

“In a way (it’s changed the way I think about hockey) but I think aging has had more of an affect than anything else,” he said. “Victoria Minor Hockey Association takes a ‘whole person’ developmental approach, which I think is part of the reason that I like to be involved, using hockey as a vehicle for supporting growth in individuals.”

In that sense, it coincides with servant leadership, he added. editor@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW

Promises, promises Here’s a simple request for candidates seeking election in the upcoming school board and municipal election: Only promise what you can deliver.

That might seem an obvious request. But all too often, candidates vow to achieve things they clearly cannot. They either fail to provide the true cost of their promise, or they promise something outside the legal mandate of the office they seek.

Call it exuberance. Call it ignorance. Either way it doesn’t serve the voter and it disrespects the process.

For example, there are some fairly severe limits on what a city can and cannot do.

It must work within the provincial legislation that governs its existence. A promise to silence every train whistle within the city boundaries might sound attractive, but trains are a federal responsibility. City council can’t make them do anything.

Likewise, a promise by a school board candidate to hire more teachers won’t happen without an explanation of where the money to pay for those new employees will come from. School districts (unlike the federal or provincial government, or even a city), cannot, by provincial law, run a deficit.

Which brings up the second point: Money.

Rarely does a promise come without a cost, and candidates have an obligation to identify what that cost will be.

A promise to double the number of parks in the city, for example, might draw support. But what will it cost to maintain those parks, and what impact will the removal of that land from the tax base have on city finances?

A promise to cut taxes, or at least hold them at zero, must also include details on where the cuts in services will be made (or alternate revenue found) to accommodate that plan.

None of this is to suggest candidates can’t have ideas or voice creative and imaginative solutions to the problems communities like Victoria and Esquimalt face. But they have an obligation to voters to ensure that what they promise is practical – or even possible.

And we as voters have the responsibility to do the research and ask the tough questions to ensure these lofty ideas have some grounding in reality.

The comedy of all this was illustrated by Coun. Robin Cherbo from Nelson, who assured delegates he uses synthetic oil in his vehicle.

Is that derived from organic sunflowers? And what significance does that gesture have compared with the gasoline and jet fuel that carried 1,200 delegates to Whistler?

Cherbo assumes that Ottawa can simply direct Alberta’s oil industry to start refining all the heavy oil there. Half a century into this industrial mega-project, this stuff should just be banned from pipelines. Peace, man.

This is why election-time posturing by local politicians is a slippery slope. Not only do they lack authority, they and their staff lack the required expertise and information.

The Trans Mountain pipeline starts in Alberta and branches into the U.S. It is by definition federal jurisdiction. NEB hearings on its expansion continue, with expert input, especially on shipping risks, from the B.C. government, Green MLA Andrew Weaver and others.

Municipal politicians should pipe down and defend their own performance.

Prescription for health: fight global warming on Climate Change’s Fifth Assessment’s final synthesis report concludes that global warming is already having major impacts worldwide and that, unless we do something about it, we can expect “severe, pervasive and irreversible impacts for people and ecosystems.”

Our news media should be focusing on these issues rather than chasing an endless line of celebrity antics, corporate priorities and political posturing.

Scientists have warned about global warming consequences for decades, but efforts by fossil fuel interests to sow doubt and confusion, combined with intransigent governments and public apathy, have brought us to a tipping point.

The choice is clear: If we want to protect our health, our children’s and grandchildren’s health, and the natural systems that keep us alive and healthy, we must act now.

Climate March. “The evidence is overwhelming: climate change endangers human health,” says WHO director-general Margaret Chan. “Solutions exist and we need to act decisively to change this trajectory.”

In a Huffington Post article, Ban Ki-moon stresses that global warming is an immediate and urgent issue. “Instead of asking if we can afford to act, we should be asking what is stopping us, who is stopping us, and why?” he writes. “Let us join forces to push back against skeptics and entrenched interests.

Let us support the scientists, economists, entrepreneurs and investors who can persuade government leaders and policymakers that now is the time for action.”

Beyond forestalling the almost-certain catastrophic consequences of unchecked global warming, changing our habits, conserving energy and shifting from fossil fuels to clean energy will have many benefits for human health — and for the economy.

Reducing the burden of pollution- and global warming–related health care costs is a big factor, but opportunities also exist in the clean technology sector.

Climate Summit organizers point to the “growing recognition that affordable, scalable solutions are available now that will enable us all to leapfrog to cleaner, more resilient economies.”

Rules for ‘vaping’ applauded by medical officer Don Descoteau Reporting

Province proposes regulating e-cigarettes the same way as tobacco

Some Greater Victoria malls have taken the step to ban the use of nicotine vaporizers indoors.

News that the province is prepared to regulate e-cigarettes the same way it does tobacco, governing their sale by the same provincial restrictions, is being applauded by the man largely responsible for prompting the Capital Regional District to institute indoor smoking bans.

Dr. Richard Stanwick, chief medical health officer for Island Health, said his department will likely ramp up its offensive against the growing trend of “vaping” after the civic election and the new slate of CRD directors have been installed.

A presentation was made last spring to the local politicians about the existing knowledge and science around “vaping.” Not only has the e-cig industry “exploded” since then, he said, knowledge about the chemical makeup of the vapour emitted and the liquids vapourized is becoming more available. Plus, other jurisdictions have instituted their own localized rules.

“Given how much has happened since the spring, clearly what we present to them would be dramatically different,” he said.

Hillside and Mayfair centres have banned e-cigarettes in their shopping areas. Westshore Town Centre in Langford uses Health Canada guidelines on smoking and asks mall staff and customers to take e-cigs outside, despite the lack of a definitive stance on vaping from the federal body.

The City of Vancouver is considering extending its smoking bylaw to e-cigarettes and adding the word “vaporizing” to its no-smoking signs.

Red Deer, Alta. has already adding “vaping” to its smoking bylaw.

Stanwick noted the marketing and packaging of e-cigs is unregulated, and their use encouraged to a full spectrum of potential clients, including youth. He compared the scenario to the 1950s, when cigarette companies used the “cool factor” to market their products.

While smoking e-cigs is definitely safer than smoking tobacco, he said, some smokers use juices that contain nicotine. Recently, a research report stated that fine particulate matter has been detected in the vapours that can potentially be harmful to people who breathe it in second-hand.

Dr. Richard Stanwick … prepares more info for CRD adopted a resolution urging government action on the products.

Critics argue that the growing trend toward vaping rather than smoking cigarettes raises questions over product safety and concerns that years of anti-smoking gains could unravel if nicotine addiction rebounds.

Lake said he’d prefer the federal government regulate the battery-

powered vaporizers instead, but added the province will act within a year if Ottawa does not.

The goal, he said, would be to ensure e-cigarettes face most of the same bans or restrictions that apply on regular ones under B.C.’s Tobacco Control Act, particularly the ban on the sale of tobacco to minors and the rules on advertising and display.

Lake wouldn’t yet say if the provincial ban on smoking in public buildings and workplaces, or within three metres of their doors and open windows, would also apply to vaping, but he noted cities can pass their own bylaws to restrict use of e-cigarettes. Provincial law also bans smoking on all school grounds and in vehicles carrying youth under 16.

Stanwick acknowledged it will likely be some time before CRD directors address vaping from a general public health standpoint.

“At the end of the day, our elected officials have the final say. My job is to make sure they have the current information and are absolutely informed to the best of my ability,” he said. “Then they make the decision.”

City, church meet to hammer out deal on Cathedral school Andrea Peacock Victoria News

The Anglican Diocese and the City of Victoria are one step closer to reaching an agreement on the Cathedral School on Niagara Street.

The diocese and the city have been at odds since the diocese applied for a demolition permit of the building at 520 Niagara St. The school is on the city’s heritage registry, but it is not legally protected as a heritage site.

On July 24, the City of Victoria ordered that the site be subject to temporary protection for 60 days, which ended on Sept. 22.

Protection of the building has been extended for another 30 days, ending late October. During that time, the diocese and the city are negotiating the potential for a rezoning application of the property, which the diocese still plans to sell.

“The intent is to protect the existing structure in a new zoning category, which would identify what development potential there is on the site around the

city that it would not tear down the building for one year, and that any proceeds from the sale of the property will go toward seismic upgrades on the Christ Church Cathedral precinct property. He added that the property will be sold whether it is rezoned first or not.

“If somebody in the future wants to demolish, they’ll have to apply for a permit,” Daniel said.

For now, Daniel said the preschool and day care currently located in the Cathedral School building will be moved to a different location due to safety concerns.

Madoff is optimistic about the future of the building due to the negotiations taking place between the city and the diocese.

“This is a very good example of what happens when the city and a property owner work together,” Madoff said.

No decisions regarding rezoning of the Niagara Street property have been made yet.

Symphony commemorates anniversary of First World War As the world recognizes the 100th anniversary of the First World War, the Victoria Symphony will premiere The Piper, a uniquely Canadian work by Victoria composer Tobin Stokes.

The concert takes place Oct. 25 at 8 p.m. at the Bay Street Armoury and kicks off a community collabora-

tion entitled Lest We Forget.

With The Piper, Stokes tells the story of J.C. Richardson, a Victoria Cross recipient and a famous Canadian piper who inspired his troops into battle.

He was lost on the battlefield on the Somme although his pipes were eventually recovered and returned

to British Columbia where they reside on public display in the B.C. legislative buildings.

“With this special concert of remembrance, we’re able to present music that honours the incredible sacrifice of our veterans,” said Tania Miller, music director of the Victoria Symphony.

“We are grateful for the participation of the Canadian Scottish Regiment, and for the opportunity to perform in the Bay Street Armoury which provides unique surroundings for this moving tribute.”

The concert also includes a performance of Vaughan Williams’ London Sym-

phony, Mvt. 2, and the Lark Ascending, Adams’ The Wound Dresser, Ives’ The Unanswered Question, and the traditional MacPherson’s Lament featuring the pipes and drums of the Canadian Scottish Regiment (St. Mary’s).

The culmination of the Lest We Forget initiative is

the Victoria Symphony’s presentation of Britten’s War Requiem, Nov. 8 and 9 at the Royal Theatre.

Victoria-developed website helps those with life-threatening illness Online site provides resource and fundraising information Kevin Laird Victoria News

Two years after fundraising for her own liver transplant, James Bay resident Peggy Mahoney is giving back by creating a website to help others get the financial and emotional support they need to receive life-saving treatment.

The website – caretohope.ca. – has been a cathartic release of sorts for Mahoney after being diagnosed with a rare liver disease in 2009, which resulted in a liver transplant two years ago.

As Mahoney and her family sought support and resources for the life-saving surgery, she learned it is the

patient who must pay for most of the out of hospital costs, such as expensive medications, supplements, the cost of travel, and the costs of a support person to provide care during recovery.

For Mahoney alone, those costs were more than $20,000.

“It’s a rude awakening,” she said. “People don’t realize when you get really sick so many costs aren’t covered.

Cougars push win streak to 5 The Victoria Cougars have pushed their win streak to five following three wins over their Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League rivals last week.

On Thursday, Michael Fretz and Robert Zadra notched three points each, and Anthony Ciurro stopped 17 shots for his second shutout of the season, as the Victoria Cougars cruised past the Saanich Braves 5-0.

Fretz (2), Ryan Carson, Wade Johnson, and Howard Howden scored for the Cougars, who outshot Saanich 43-17. Making his debut on the Cougars blue line, former Kamloops Storm defenseman Aiden Silzer-Hooker was paired with Jake Stolz.

The streak continued Friday when Mark Van Helvoirt and his troops moved to within a point of the idle Westshore Wolves in the race for top spot in the South Island Division after a convincing 6-1 win over the Braves.

Hitting hard right out of the gate, the Cougars’ Carson (2), Fretz, Zadra, Kyle Ljunggren and Sam McMullen each scored for Victoria while Nick Guerra replied for the Braves.

The Cougars outshot Saanich 14-2 in the period and Zadra extended his point streak to eight games when he popped in his fourth goal of the season.

Despite getting outscored 4-1 in the second period, Saanich outshot Victoria 14-11. Both teams had scoring chances in the third period but Payne and Ward made some nice saves to keep it scoreless.

On Sunday, the Kerry Park Islanders pushed the Cougars harder, forcing them to claw back from a two-goal deficit to notch a 4-3 in overtime win.

After trailing 3-1 midway through the third period, the Cougars completed the comeback at 1:07 of extra time when Carson converted a perfect pass from Fretz on a two-on-one rush.

Mitch Moloney had moved Victoria to within one when his backhander beat Leighton Williams at 11:08, then at 16:50, Zadra tied the game at three apiece. Victoria outshot the Islanders 47-20 overall. The game marked the Cougars’ fifth consecutive win, improving to 8-1-1-0 on the season.

Royals fall to Broncos in overtime The Victoria Royals lost a 2-1 overtime result to the Swift Current Broncos Saturday at the Save-on-Foods Memorial Arena.

Victoria trailed 1-0 in the third, when Austin Carroll scored a highlight reel goal to send the game to overtime.

Veteran goaltender Coleman Vollrath allowed just two goals on 26 shots, while Broncos’ netminder Landon Bow turned away 36 of 37 shots.

Next up for the Royals was one of the most anticipated games of the season, when the Portland Winterhawks were scheduled to return to the Save-OnFoods Memorial Centre Monday – the first time since knocking the Royals out of last year’s playoffs. editor@vicnews.com
