Dr. Kendrick Brown of the Pacific Forestry Centre points to a two-centimetre layer of volcanic ash in a core sample from Begbie Lake. The ash was deposited after Oregon’s Mt. Mazama erupted 7,700 years ago. Brown is part of a research team preparing a report for the CRD that describes what the South Island’s anticipated transformation to a warmer, dryer climate will mean for the Sooke Lake Water Reservoir.

Two cyclists hit
Two cyclist-involved collisions kept Saanich police busy last week, and in one incident a helmet likely saved a man’s life. On Jan. 21 around 5:10 p.m., a male cyclist was struck by a vehicle in the 4100-block of Lambrick Way in Gordon Head. The cyclist had been attempting to make a lefthand turn from Feltham Road onto Lambrick Way when he was struck by a car heading in the same direction, said Saanich police Sgt. Steve Eassie. The cyclist’s helmet likely saved the man’s life, Eassie added. “Judging by the damage sustained to the helmet that the cyclist was wearing, it is very probable that the wearing of the bicycle helmet prevented a serious injury or death to the cyclist,” he said. In an earlier incident around 6:30 a.m., a cyclist in her 50s was involved in a collision on the Trans-Canada Highway at McKenzie Avenue. The woman was crossing in the marked crosswalk along the Galloping Goose Trail, Eassie said. “She was transported to hospital and the extent of her injuries was not known,” he said. editor@saanichnews.com

SAANICH SAANICH NEWS NEWS -- Wednesday, Wednesday, January January 21, 28, 2015 2015
Crime Stoppers sets up shop Anonymous tip hotline, community program moves into Saanich PD Daniel Palmer News staff
When Ernie Dechant tells people he used to be a blood spatter expert in the RCMP, he anticipates the wide eyes and ignorant prodding for his grizzliest crime stories. Dechant instead chooses to highlight the supportive Greater Victoria community he’s discovering as one of two civilian program co-ordinators for Greater Victoria Crime Stoppers. “What I love about this job is when you see crimes of a personal nature, the tips come flooding in. The community won’t stand for it,” says Dechant, who moved to Broadmead with his wife last year after spending 21 years with the RCMP. Crammed into a tiny office in the basement of the Saanich Police Department, Crime Stoppers is once again ramping up in the Capital Region with dedicated civilian staff. (The program was previously run in-house by police officers.) The two-person team, whose salaries are covered in part by each police department in the region, includes Dechant and fellow co-ordinator Amanda Schenk. After setting up in November, the pair is now on a mission to better inform the community about the unique service. “Crime Stoppers really is about gathering information, that’s our mandate,” says Schenk, who grew up in Saanich and spent her summers between university working in Saanich police’s records department. “The other part of it is letting people know we’re keeping the community safe.” The biggest misconception of Crime Stoppers, says Schenk, is that potential tipsters are often afraid they’ll be compelled to identify themselves or testify if a tip proves worthwhile to a police investigation. But that’s just not true. “We can guarantee your protection by never having your information in the first place,” Dechant says. “There is legislated case law that protects you and the tip information, and we couldn’t identify you even if we were compelled by a court order.” Every 1-800 call is answered by a 24/7 call centre in Ontario, where it’s screened and then sent to the relevant jurisdiction. If the tip is urgent, anonymous callers are asked to call 911. Incoming phone numbers aren’t recorded.
Daniel Palmer/News staff
Amanda Schenk, left, and Ernie Dechant pose with the Greater Victoria Crime Stoppers van, which will be used to promote the program at events across the region. “In our office, we get tips when we come in in the morning, and begin putting them out to Crime Stoppers liaisons at each police department from there,” Schenk said.
Crime Stoppers stats ■ Tips Received in 2013: 680 ■ Recovered Property/Drugs in 2013: $195,164 ■ Rewards Approved in 2013: 19 ■ Arrests Made: 2,349 ■ Cases Cleared: 2,391 ■ Rewards Paid: $423,586 ■ Property Recovered: $5,727,892 ■ Drugs Seized: $25,043,660 ■ Total $ Recovered: $30,771,552 (Source: Greater Victoria Crime Stoppers, April 2014)
Police liaisons are then responsible for determining whether action is required or if the tip is kept for information only. After 30 days, Schenk and Dechant follow-up with the police department to determine whether a cash reward of up to $2,000 is appropriate for the tipster. “We have a tip calculator that assigns points and calculates the reward value based on how much property and drugs were seized and the arrests made. If there’s a risk to the caller, that drives up the reward as well,” Schenk says. A Crime Stoppers board of directors, made up of volunteer members in the community, must then approve those
cash payments. The board is also responsible for fundraising initiatives. But how does the process remain anonymous when cash is exchanged? It turns out it’s relatively simple, if not a bit cloak and dagger. Callers are given a code to check back on their tips. Once a payment is arranged, the cash is left at a “busy local organization,” where a tipster can pick it up under a pseudonym at their convenience, Schenk says. “An important part of the anonymity is we have no way of contacting these tipsters: They can only contact us,” she added. “Sometimes people are eligible for rewards but they never follow-up so they’re never claimed.” Each week, Dechant and Schenk gather information on at-large criminals and crimes where police needs tips. Through the help of local media – including Saanich News – residents are informed on Victoria’s Most Wanted and Crimes of the Week to garner more tips for police. Volunteers will soon be needed for the upcoming summer event season, when Crime Stoppers will up their community presence and being spreading the word about how their service makes an impact. “I was introduced to Crime Stoppers at my first posting in Quesnel, B.C., and I really liked the way the program worked,” says Dechant, who took up various posts in B.C. and in the Northern territories before retiring from the RCMP. Dechant decided to make the jump into civilian life and move to Greater Victoria after experiencing the best and worst of human behaviour across the country. “There’s just a different mentality here
than there is anywhere else,” Dechant says. “People are laid back, it’s extremely relaxed. … When you’re a police officer, you deal with a lot of negativity. But the best part about this job with Crime Stoppers is the positive community spirit.” “Crime Stoppers combats the two things that stop people from reporting crime: fear and apathy,” adds Schenk. “We combat those through anonymity and the potential of a cash reward. The result is the community is safer for it.” For more information or to report a tip anonymously, visit victoriacrimestoppers.com or call 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS). editor@saanichnews.com

That’s good news for the Capital Region, as it means there will be none of the ferry service reductions proposed earlier in the fall. Washington State Ferries had floated the idea of increasing the winter shutdown by another two months to save money.

Washington State Ferries (WSF) is the largest ferry system in the U.S. and carried an estimated 22.8 million passengers and 10 million vehicles in the last fiscal year. Johnson said they’ve been able to welcome that many by keeping their fares comparable to those offered by the Coho Ferry and even B.C. Ferries. Sidney is expanding its international ferry terminal.

and group camping are unchanged. Parking fees for day-use lots, a failed experiment from 10 years ago, are not being reintroduced. The ministry says the varied rate increases take into account local demand and economic conditions as well as private camping availability. The province collected about $17 million from its park and recreation fees last year, while spending $22 million on direct park operating costs. Campsite use is on the rise in B.C. since the introduction of an online reservation service called Discover Camping, which opens for the season at 9 a.m. on March 15. The system handled 133,000 reservations last year.

Campsite fees are going up between $2 and $5 at provincial parks around B.C. this spring. After March 15, a night under the stars at Golden Ears or Gordon Bay or Goldstream Provincial Park goes from $30 to $35 per night, while many more remote campsites will see a smaller increase in fees. Fees at 40 provincial campgrounds in the Kootenay-Okanagan, Northern, South Coast and West Coast regions are increasing at least $3 a night, and 141 of B.C.’s 204 provincial campgrounds will see a $2 increase. The Ministry of Environment says this is the first province-wide increase in fees since 2010. Rates for backcountry camping and use of sani-stations remain at $5, and fees for mooring buoys, picnic shelters

Cheryl Paquette’s first notice that she was a “potential” winner of SaveOn-Foods’ Ultimate Rewards Sweepstakes came by email. The Saanich resident acted cautiously, but promptly, and she’s glad she did, as she won a laundry list of prizes, the only Islander to win one of 10 grand prize packages. “I thought the email was spam or a hoax so I printed it off and took it into the Saanich (Plaza) store to ask them,” Paquette said. “The email had said I must fill out a declaration and have it notarized and returned to them in four days, so I was a little hesitant.” It took a month, but she was notified she was indeed a grand prize winner of the Ultimate Rewards Sweepstakes. Paquette won $5,200 in groceries (paid in 52 $100 gift cards),

I retired less than two years ago and have lived and worked in Victoria my entire life,” Paquette said. She first started shopping at the Saanich Plaza Save-On-Foods about 10 years ago as the dispensing fees for her husband’s multiple sclerosis medication were the lowest she could find at the time, she said. “I have never won anything like this in my life,” Paquette added. Paquette entered the contest online.

Banks shirk customer loyalty Canada’s big six banks love to lure one another’s customers using incentives such as free tablets, prepaid credit cards or other consumer temptations. Qualifying for that iPad usually means transferring not just a chequing account, but also RSPs, a Tax-Free Savings Account and opening a new credit card. But what are the banks doing to retain loyal customers? Not very much, it seems. Most banks offer rewards programs, where points are accumulated through use of an annual fee credit card. Those fees tend to range upwards of $100 to $150. Rewards points accumulated through the credit card can then be redeemed for anything from a kitchen appliance to a tropical vacation. You’re looking at a lifetime of average consumer use to build up enough points for the latter option. It’s little wonder the lure of a $500 gadget is so appealing to Canadians, when two or even six decades of banking loyalty adds up to little more than a friendlier smile at your home branch. Banks are terrible at proactively contacting loyal customers and even worse at offering incentives to stay. Ten years with RBC? We’ll waive your banking fees for the next six months. Half a century with TD? Pick a weekend getaway on us. One can dream. Unlike most grocery rewards programs, banking rewards points require the use of a credit card. The added benefit of most of those credit cards is a separate travel rewards program, where points can be redeemed for discounted flights (or in other cases, free coffee and donuts). Often the taxes and fuel surcharges are so excessive on flights that those flight points equate to only a few hundred dollars off the price of a $1,000 ticket. So who’s really benefiting from customer loyalty at the big banks in Canada? Mostly the shareholders and senior executives. Canadian banks are among the most stable investments in the world, thanks in part to good federal policies but also because Canadians are so complacent when being charged for everything from retaining a chequing account to the privilege of using a credit card.

logging and road-building, including most of the core habitat of the South Selkirk herd. The Nature Conservancy of Canada bought 550 square kilometres in that region to protect habitat. Strategies include transplanting animals from healthier to weaker herds to increase genetic diversity, and capturing and penning females with young calves to keep them from being picked off by wolves. The B.C. grey wolf population averages around 8,500, with managed hunting and trapping to protect livestock while preserving the wolf as apex predator in most of its wide range. This context is seldom reported by Vancouver media, which mostly sees its role not as explaining issues but rather embarrassing whatever political party is in power, and providing an uncritical platform for the stop-logging-mining-energy crowd, which is seen as popular with urban viewers. I suppose we’ll never know what difference the 1980s wolf kill would have made if it hadn’t been shouted down for TV ratings and urban enviro-donations.

Jet noise input ongoing Re: Rumbling jets a bother, News (Jan. 23) I live near Oak Bay village and we are experiencing the noise and vibration from the Whidbey Island Growler aircraft, too. Take a look at the maps on washingtonenvironmentalprotectioncoalition.org. The article says the noise or decibel rating can be up to 150 decibels which is very destructive to human hearing unless special noise earmuffs are worn. Your newspaper article was
slightly wrong. Public comments regarding environmental issues are being accepted by the US Air Force until Feb. 2. See website citizensofebeysreserve.com/ blog for further details. If I am trying to rest, the noise is very noticeable. The “regular” takeoffs and landings can be very noticeable depending on the weather. The rumbling sounds like an earthquake when they are taking off.

Unanswered questions in spyware story Re: Privacy watchdog launches spyware investigation, News (Jan. 23) Are all employee work computers at Saanich Municipality loaded with Spector 360 monitoring ( spying ) software? Does this include the municipal hall, municipal yard, engineering, police force and fire departments? What was the initial cost of this monitoring software? Does each work station require a “licence” from the software company? What is the cost of each “license” and what is the total annual operating cost to the Saanich taxpayers for this “monitoring” program? The old municipal council under Frank Leonard approved this expenditure? How many other municipalities in the Greater Victoria area use this kind of software to monitor council and employees?

Re: Hundreds out of work in Target closures, News (Jan. 21) Just read about Target closing and Kelsey’s restaurant is already closed.

Public liquor stores have their benefits Re: New B.C. Liquor Store hurts private vendor, News (Jan. 14, 2015) B.C.’s public liquor stores have served this province for decades. They continue to offer better selection and better prices than most private stores. They also pay higher wages and produce more revenue to pay for public services than private stores. In order to compete, B.C.’s public liquor stores need to be open Sundays, offer
refrigerated products, and occasionally relocate stores to more popular shopping locations. This is good for consumers, good for our members, and because of the revenues public stores produce, it is good for all British Columbians. We believe customers like having choices and competition which leads to better service overall. Stephanie Smith BCGEU president
Our Indigenous bands (especially Saanich peninsula and Sooke) and fishermen should be very concerned about our Orca and birds with these new tests.

Three hundred and fifteen years and counting. It was Jan. 26, 1700 when one of the world’s largest earthquakes occurred off the west coast of Vancouver Island. The undersea Cascadia thrust fault ruptured along a 1,000-kilometre length, from mid-Vancouver Island to northern California, producing a megathrust earthquake with an estimated magnitude of 8.7. “We know that these earthquakes do occur in a cyclic fashion so there is going to be another megaquake,” said Stephen Johnston, director of the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences at the University of Victoria. He said it’s impossible to accurately predict when the next megaquake will hit but they occur in cycles of between 300 and 700 years. “What a lot of research is going into of late is trying to pin down whether it’s closer to 300 years, in which case we should start being concerned, or if it’s closer to 700 years, in which case we can relax a bit,” said Johnston. The earthquake in 1700 collapsed houses of the Cowichan people on Vancouver Island and caused numerous landslides and a tsunami that swept across the Pacific, causing devastation in Japan. According to Natural Resources Canada, the shaking from the earthquake was so violent on Vancouver Island that people could not stand and lasted so long it made them sick. The tsunami completely destroyed the winter village of the Pachena Bay people, leaving no survivors. Geological evidence indicates that there have been 13 mega-
quakes over the past 6,000 years. In contrast, the earthquake that struck northeast of Tofino on Jan. 8 was a magnitude 4.8, the largest onshore quake to have hit the region since 2000. Johnston said there’s a big difference between onshore quakes like the one that struck near Tofino and the megaquakes that occur offshore, typically at the subduction zone. “Usually the ones offshore are hugely more powerful. For example, the 1700 megaquake was probably on the order of 35,000 times more powerful than that Tofino earthquake, so it’s an enormous difference in power.” And it’s the offshore quakes that give rise to tsunamis, which are typically responsible for the greatest loss of life. Johnston said the fault responsible for the 1700 quake lies about 100 kilometres west of Port Renfrew. “And that is the same fault that will rupture again and cause the next megaquake.” The extent of the devastation caused by that megaquake remains unclear. “There would be a huge tsunami and Port Alberni and all the other West Coast towns would be at risk,” said Johnston. “I think it’s obvious Tofino, much of it, would be inundated. Shaking is going to be a problem and old buildings that are not seismically upgraded.” He said those living closer to the west coast will likely see more violent shaking but a lot of local issues will also come into play. “If you’re built, and much of Victoria is built, on bedrock, then there won’t be such severe shaking. But if you’re built on recent sediments – think or regions around here where it’s very flat lying and muddy – those are lake beds that formed 10,000 years
ago and they will shake like a bowl of jelly.” But Johnston said a smaller quake like the one that struck Tofino can prove to be just as deadly as a megaquake. “That’s the bigger concern, not the megaquake but something like the earthquake that took place near Tofino except maybe a little bit stronger than that.” He pointed to the 6.3 magnitude quake that rocked Christchurch, New Zealand in 2011, resulting in 185 deaths. “People die in magnitude 4 earthquakes and they don’t die because of the shaking, they die because a wall falls on them or something like that.” Very few earthquakes have been centred around Victoria. Johnston recalls a magnitude 2 quake hitting Langford a year or two ago, “but it was so tiny that even people standing right on top of it couldn’t feel it.” He said the Nisqually earthquake that struck south of Seattle in 2001 caused significant tremors felt in Victoria. The aftermath of that quake has left Victoria reasonably well prepared. “We’ve had all of our public schools and a lot of the buildings at UVic and downtown seismically upgraded since then because we did have a good shake and it gave us a little taste of what might come.” Johnston said Island residents would be well-advised to have a plan in place in the event of a large earthquake but admits that’s not something he’s put a lot of thought into. “It’s something that you can’t get out of your mind but at the same time we’re all pretty happily living here and I’m not getting ready to move,” he said. editor@saanichnews.com

Stair lift sales on the incline Home accessibility a growing industry Travis Paterson News staff
Modern technology is helping seniors stay home longer, and business is booming. Though the costs to install ceiling lifts, stair lifts, mobile lifts and other mobility assisting technologies in the home place are significant, there are plenty of arguments for it. For one, it’s often less than the cost of full time assisted living in a care home, says Corinne Kerr of Esquimalt’s Angel Accessibility Solutions. “There’s a lot of research supporting the benefits of staying at home longer, and that’s what we offer. You retain your home and the proximity to friends. It’s easier on the family, promotes long term health and is easier on the health care system,” Kerr said. George Szwender started Angel by selling lifts out of his home in 1997, and today Angel Solutions is based out of a 12,000 square-foot showroom and warehouse
along the industrially zoned Viewfield Road. The store has 24 employees, including technicians who install the lifts in customer homes. Angel has also opened up stores in Courtenay, Vancouver, Kelowna and Portland, Ore. Last week, Angel was purchased by Prism Medical, a publicly traded (TSX Venture) ceiling-lift manufacturer for $3.6 million, as it moves into the retail side of the industry. “Everything will stay the same,” said Angel Solutions chief operating officer Chris Swift. “We’re proud of our commitment to service. We’ll continue to have service technicians available 24-7 for maintenance.” Angel Solutions isn’t without it’s competitors, as other brands of stair and ceiling lifts are available. On Jan. 16 Richmond-based HME Mobility and Accessibility opened a store on Government Street. “We’ve been selling and installing systems on the Island for years so now we’re here,” said HME’s Victoria manager Jessica Park. While HME’s Victoria store is small in

HME regularly sells and installs three stair lifts per day. Just as Angel has a diverse catalogue of home care solutions, such as easy access bath tubs, HME carries lift and recline chairs, hospital beds, walkers, wheelchairs, bathroom safety
items, and installs a lot of grab bars, as well as equipment rental. On a straight staircase, stair lifts can be installed within a day of purchase. Curved stair lifts must be custom-ordered, and take three weeks to a month to arrive. reporter@saanichnews.com

“...an independent satisfaction survey of publicly funded residential care facilities posted for all to see how the facilities in their community compare with others in B.C.” “We’ve all read a rash of recent headlines and stories about how today’s seniors are rich, affluent and getting too much help from government,” she says. “I find them inflammatory, offensive and, most importantly, they are wrong.” Most seniors in B.C. live on less than $25,000 per year with 52,000 living on less than $17,000 per year, she says. “We need to spare our seniors the indignity of begging for help.” Mackenzie sure seems to be saying all the right things. I hope her voice continues to be strong enough to foster a culture of independence in her office that was absent in its founding. While she may not have a mandate to require government to respond to seniors’ programs shortcomings revealed in these surveys, she certainly has made it clear she will make sure everyone shares her findings.

Wake-up call: It’s fraud on the line Evidence shows seniors are more susceptible to fraud in the morning. The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) says telephone scammers know this, and are exploiting Canadians with a new credit card phishing scam. Daniel Williams, a senior call-taker at CFAC says the new phishing scam is targeting people in the early morning between 5 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. when they are sleepy and potentially vulnerable. The scammer claims to be calling from the victims’ bank and says a credit card was used without authorization the previous evening. Because of the early hour, the groggy victim will often volunteer information. “The consumer lets them know who they bank with, then the suspects will read out the first few digits of the credit card which is standard for that bank and that credit card,” Williams says. The scammers then ask the victim for the next eight digits to confirm their identity. Once the scammers have the complete card number, they use the information to make purchases on the account. In actuality, Canadian banks are not in the habit of soliciting personal information by phone or by e-mail. The CAFC warns that fraudsters also impersonate utility companies claiming to be collecting payment for overdue bills, saying the electric or gas bill must be paid immediately or the services will be shut off.

A political stalemate at the Capital Regional District over sewage treatment in the region will in the end benefit taxpayers, says Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins. Desjardins co-chairs Westside Solutions, a group which has brought Esquimalt, Colwood, Langford, View Royal and Songhees Nation together to find a solution to building a sewage treatment plant in the region. Victoria, Saanich and Oak Bay are moving to form a parallel committee on the east side of Greater Victoria. The committees are supported by the CRD and municipal staff to develop and evaluate sub-regional treatment options for their communities. “This is a process of educating, and a process of engaging the public, and an understanding of what communities are looking and wanting,” Desjardins said. “We’re not yet proposing anything. We’re providing overview information,” Desjardins said. Saanich Coun. Vic Derman has pointed out that Saanich contributes 40 per cent of the total flow from MacCaulay Point on the west side. Managing separate east and west groups won’t be practical as the project develops, he said. Visit the CRD website at crd.bc.ca/project/wastewater-planning for more details. editor@saanichnews.com
Vision Matters Dr. Daisy Tao
Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.
Eyesight and safe driving When we drive, we make most of our decisions on the basis of visual cues: the position of other vehicles and pedestrians, traffic lights, signs, hazard warnings etc. Good vision is crucial to safe driving. Vision for driving involves more than the ability to read the letters on the eye chart (central vision): Peripheral vision, depth perception and colour vision are all important factors which influence our judgment while driving. The Motor Vehicle Branch tests these visual skills when we first apply for a driver’s license. This screening is not a substitute for a full eye examination by a Doctor of Optometry who can prescribe corrective lenses or other treatment, if necessary, and evaluate the health of the eyes. Our eyes change in subtle and gradual ways as we age. We may not realize our vision has gradually deteriorated to a level that does not meet the legal and safe requirements for operating a motor www.oakbayoptometry.com vehicle. In many cases, the solution may be as simple as, new prescriptionDr. lenses.

Saanich Braves forward Evan Horvath, No. 15, shoots during Friday’s 3-2 win over the Kerry Park Islanders at Pearkes Arena. Horvath scored twice.
Braves host Cougars as season set to wind down STEWART
>BRAVESBEAT
@cjs_photography
After losing to the Westshore Wolves 6-0 on Wednesday, Jan. 21, and tying the Nanaimo Buccaneers 1-1 on Thursday, Jan. 22, the Saanich Braves salvaged their three game week with a 3-2 win over the Kerry Park Islanders in VIJHL action Friday (Jan. 23) at Pearkes Arena in Saanich. The win was a big one for the Braves. It not only erased the All Star Game hangover that saw the offence come up with just one goal in 130 minutes of hockey (that being from Nick Kean versus Nanaimo), but it also added some distance between themselves and the Islanders in the standings in what was a true “four point” game in the South Division. With a win, the Islanders could have pulled within two points of the Braves for third. However, it was the Braves who jumped into a six point lead over the Islanders for that spot. The Braves never trailed Friday, holding leads of 1-0 and 2-0 at the respective intermissions
with two, and Hunter Atchison. Goalie Riley Mathieson started for the Braves Friday and stopped 20 of 22 shots to earn his fifth win in his last five starts. Mathieson also played Wednesday in the loss to Westshore, coming in to relieve Brandon Ward, stopping 10 of 13 over the final 35 minutes of that game. Speaking of Ward, after his disastrous start against Westshore on Wednesday, he rebounded nicely last Thursday against his former team, stopping 40 of 41 Buccaneer shots to salvage a single point for the Braves in the 1-1 tie. His efforts earned him first star honours for that game. With just six games to go in the regular season, the 15-21-1-5 Braves have enjoyed a few days off before they have to face the Victoria Cougars at Pearkes Arena this Friday, Jan. 30, with a 6:30 p.m. start. They then travel to Oceanside on Saturday, Jan. 31 for a match against the Generals. - Christian J.

before the Islanders’ Kyle Green tallied early in the third to make it 2-1. The Braves upped their lead midway through the third to make it 3-1, before Green scored again to make it 3-2. The Islanders pulled goaltender Leighton Williams late, but to no avail, as the Braves held on for the win. Leading the way Friday for the Braves was forward Evan Horvath, who notched a pair of goals - his 12th and 13th of the season - including the game winner at 11:42 of the third, when he converted a beautiful cross-ice pass from Jack Rachwalski. Horvath scored the first goal of the game when he put the Braves up 1-0 at the 15:11 mark of the first, capitalizing on a penalty to the Islanders David Bittner for tripping. He also had an assist on the Braves second goal which was scored by Rachwalski on the powerplay just 55 seconds into the second period. Nick Kean, playing his first game against Kerry Park since being acquired by the Braves from the Islanders at the trading deadline, had an assist against his former team. Also drawing assists for the Braves on their goals were Seamus Maguire,
