Coalition targets youth homelessness Group seeks reasons why teens are living on the streets

Andrea Peacock Reporting

Recognizing the unique needs of youth experiencing homelessness is a key part of finding solutions, said Andrew Wynn-Williams, executive director at the Greater Victoria Coalition to End Homelessness. The coalition recently conducted a study that engaged youth identified as experiencing or being at-risk of homelessness in order to discover what they need and what services are missing. “We wanted to get a better handle on some of the reasons that youth are becoming homeless

and some of the routes out of homelessness,” said Wynn-Williams. “It’s been proven time and time again that if we want to help individuals who are marginalized for whatever reason, you get the best solutions when you engage them in those solutions.” One of the challenges the study found was the need for better transitions from youth to adult services. “Youth don’t like to access adult services,” said Wynn-Williams. “They feel threatened. Between 18 and 24 is a very difficult age. That’s when most youth become homeless, because they age out of (provincial) care.” Another issue youth have is accessing the ser-

vices that are available, he said. “Trying to find out what services to access, how to access them and where to access them is challenge.” The McCreary Centre is conducting a count of youth homelessness. That data is expected to be available in May. At that time, Wynn-Williams said they will be able to take the information from the coalition’s study along with the quantitative data to service providers, government agencies and funders and find concrete ways to address the challenges of youth homelessness.

PHOTO OF THE WEEK

OUR VIEW

A wage imbalance A study by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business indicates public sector wages are 10 to 15 per cent higher than comparable jobs in the private sector. Wages for professions such as police officers and firefighters were not taken into account, as there is no comparable private sector positions. However, positions which are part of both public and private sectors were compared for the CFIB’s Wage Watch report, the sixth in the past 30 years. The report takes its data from 2010 information contained in Statistics Canada’s 2011 National Household Survey. It compares more than 200 occupations in public and private sectors. In 2010, private sector wages were still suffering from the 2008 economic downturn, which dealt a severe blow to many businesses. Wage increases were non-existent for most employees in 2009 and 2010. Meanwhile, wage increases for government employees continued ticking along. In years past, public sector wages were often at or even slightly below comparable private sector wages. . However, in the past 20 years or so, the wages paid to public sector employees have ballooned. This has happened as job security in the private sector has been substantially reduced. While there was a booming private sector economy in B.C. from 2000 to 2008, many traditional well-paying jobs disappeared to contracting out, new technology or intense competition. Taxes have not been reduced. In fact, they continue to go up — at all levels of government. Salaries paid to public sector workers need a closer look.

Readers respond: Sidewalks, bridge, Easter bunnies Sidewalks more than just people movers Re: Education needed on sidewalk etiquette (Letters, March 13) Sidewalks are not rapid-transit, people-movers. They have many uses, including strolling, sightseeing, and windowshopping. If I am walking with shop windows on my left, am I going to walk in the right-hand sidewalk lane? I don’t think so. Am I or am I not going to walk on the right in the pouring rain, while the left side is sheltered by awnings and overhangs? Not. I agree that people walking four abreast and/or taking up the entire width of the sidewalk are selfish and rude. However, I have found that if you just put your head down and blunder right into them, they generally let you through. But walking single-file? Lines painted on the sidewalk? What?!? Are we living in Robotland now? Oh look! The nice merchants have put some stock out on the sidewalk. Over there, to my left.

Let’s check that out!

Bridge project should be reset Victoria city council is quibbling over a few million dollars more for the huge Johnson Street bridge project that was badly conceived in the first place. What’s needed is to start the project anew, with proper goals and design criteria, and more attention to quality of planning, management, and fabrication work. Public art is not needed, and a train station is a waste because its location is not convenient to commuters. City council spent on “circus for the masses” – a grandiose and technically challenging design – while cheaping by not including the railway tracks needed to get service to where it is needed. Doing the right thing will be costly because of money already wasted, but it is the sensible way to proceed for the future. Previous work is a “sunk cost”

‘Easter bunnies’ as gifts a no-no With Easter not far off many children start thinking of the Easter bunny and seeing them in TV ads. They may get the idea that they want a cuddly little bunny of their own. Please give this decision some serious thought before you adopt.

Rabbits are timid creatures that do not like being held. If they fall they do not land on their feet as does a cat and many serious injuries can happen. They are sociable creatures and should not be kept in a small cage. As a rabbit owner, I know they are sweet, intelligent creatures but a lot of work. Their habitats need cleaning every day and their food and water bottles must be washed. Young children infatuated with owning a bunny will quickly tire of that chore when other social activity takes over. A rabbit is a long term commitment, one which must be taken seriously. Too many families faced with this extra responsibility see no option but to dispose of the rabbit. Unfortunately too many times it is dumped in an area with other no longer wanted rabbits, which in itself is a death sentence. Humane societies will be happy to have the bunny. And toy bunnies may make better pets. William Jesse Victoria

Esquimalt has a long association with Boy Scouts. On Dec. 11, 1909, Esquimalt resident Lt.-Col. John A. Hall, former commanding officer of the 5th Regiment Canadian Army, initiated a meeting held in the Menzies Street Drill Hall in James Bay to see if there was sufficient interest in the area to form a Boy Scout troop. Seventy-two boys attended. On Jan. 11, 1910 the next step was taken at Hall’s home on Old Esquimalt Road to establish the first council of the Victoria Boy Scouts Association. Hall, instrumental in the organization of the 88th Victoria Fusiliers, was a natural choice to chair the council. In March 1910, the first badges were issued by the council and six troops organized, with the Esquimalt troop assigned 1st Arbutus, the name still in use today. In June, the first

This brigade flag as it was known was presented to the troop with the largest number of scouts on parade. A site on Old Esquimalt Road was chosen for the first annual Brigade Camp, opening July 2, 1910 and lasting two weeks. Another highlight followed on Aug. 11 when Lt.-Gen. Sir Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the scouting movement, visited Victoria and inspected local Scouts. Two years later he visited again addressing local scouts in front of the

Parliament Buildings “in his usual inspiring manner.” Subsequent years saw public exhibitions of scouting skills, such as wireless operation, log hut construction and model building. In December 1911, Victoria scouts even tried their hand at theatrics, presenting a musical, The Cruise of the Bilge-Bucket, at the Ancient Order of United Workmen Hall on Yates Street. In the spirit of the scouting movement, funds raised from admissions were passed along to a charity aiding crippled children. Four years later, in July 1915, the first Girl Guide unit was formed in Victoria. Today the spirit of good citizenship is still

evident in the scouting and guiding movement in Esquimalt. Whether it be cubs, scouts, brownies or girl guides, local members can be seen participating in the God’s Acre Candle Light Ceremony, organizing bottle drives, assisting the Esquimalt Lions (the troop’s sponsor) at Buccaneer Days and generally helping those in need. ••• Greg Evans is head archivist of Esquimalt Municipal Archives.

Big power may be back but not to worry, the environmentally minded cars were never far from sight. The Vancouver show was chosen to announce the new Automobile Journalists Association of Canada’s (AJAC) Green Car of the Year Award. This year’s winner is the Kia Soul Electric Vehicle, providing a practical design with full electric capabilities. Also on display was the Toyota Mirai Fuel Cell vehicle, capable of running on hydrogen, with no tailpipe emission, only water vapour. The hottest trend in the market today is the small crossover vehicles that come in many shapes and sizes, and from all over the world. The Fiat 500X is an example of the latest from Europe, allowing a young family practical, thrifty transportation in a stylish Italian design. Built on the same platform as the new Jeep Renegade, the 500X has more panache and curb appeal. The 2015 Vancouver uver International Auto Show marked the 95th year of this annual event and it was the biggest ggest and boldest yet.

Kelowna resident Rick Kelly thinks Tesla has missed the boat with its Model S design, so he’s created his own sporty coupe version of the electric car. Well, actually, the car-loving artist has created a digital version of what he calls a Model S 2+2-coupe concept. Kelly explained: “The only ‘sporty’ electric vehicle on the market right now is the BMW i8 – I’ve seen one here in Kelowna and it is spectacular, albeit out of most people’s price range ($145,000). Tesla has the performance in its electric Model S to be entertaining as a driver’s car. The Model S is one of the nicestlooking cars on the road, but it has FOUR doors – that precludes it from being ‘sporty’ in my book.” You can check out Kelly’s other creations at his website: http://automotiveart.shawwebspace.ca, his blog at http://digital-automotive-art.blogspot.ca and he even has a fun iBook called Digital Automotive Art on iTunes. Check it out. What do you think about Kelly’s digital re-creation of the $114,700 Tesla?

Sprinter is built for BC resource sector did their best to impede progress. The ride-height of 4ETS-equipped Sprinters is increased by 75 mm (3-in) at the rear and 100 mm (4-in) at the front, which improves the vehicle’s approach and departure angles while also imparting a 24-inch wading depth. Interestingly, I didn’t find the additional ride-height detrimental to highway driving. The Sprinter felt exceptionally well anchored to the road and remarkably secure on its winter rubber, even at high-speed on backroads of broken, patchy pavement. As the only game in town when it comes to four-wheel-drive commercial vans, Mercedes-Benz is keen to roll its high-traction Sprinter into industries

By Rob Rothwell

British Columbia’s Monashee Mountains are renowned for their steep north faces and massive old-growth cedars. While its rugged terrain is largely inaccessible by road, logging activities have given rise to a network of steep, roughly cut access roads, which the spring thaw recently converted to deep quagmires of confidence-sucking mud, rock, and debris. What fool would attempt to drive a large commercial-style van up these routes of impending doom? Me for one. Mercedes-Benz invited me to explore the capabilities of their Sprinter vans available with four-wheeldrive, or in Mercedes-Benz parlance: 4ETS. In the world of commercial highroof vans, the Sprinter is the only one

‘‘

As the only game in town when it comes to fourwheel-drive commercial vans, Mercedes-Benz is keen to roll its high-traction Sprinter into industries such as mining, logging, construction.

’’

Rob Rothwell

in Canada fit with traction at all four corners. Known technically as 4-wheel Electronic

Traction System, 4ETS is an option on V6 diesel-powered Sprinters, including the dual rear-wheel long wheelbase 3500 model. Expect to pay in the range of $6,000 for the feature, which can be paired with low-range gearing and downhill descent control for those seeking to maximize the Sprinter’s off-road fortitude. 4ETS is driver-activated as needed via a dash-mounted switch. When the grit of four-wheel-drive isn’t necessary, the setup enables optimal fuel-economy by returning the vehicle to rear-wheeldrive, thereby reducing fuel-robbing mechanical drag. While active, 4ETS splits torque 35/65 front-to-rear. This ratio doesn’t change

such as mining, logging, construction, and any other work environment located off the beaten path – and that’s huge in a resource-based province like B.C. The long-chassis Sprinter 3500 with dual rear wheels could easily serve as a rolling workshop for trades’ people needing access to work camps where fourwheel-drive wherewithal is essential. Mercedes-Benz will also equip the passenger version of their Sprinter with 4ETS. Ski resorts and lodges, such as the Monashee Lodge, will undoubtedly appreciate the expanded capability. The recreational market is another niche ripe for off-road performance. rgrothwell@telus.net

though traction-control and stability-related programs remain active to improve grip and increase safety. These programs can be disabled should the driver require the ability to spin the wheels in an effort to unglue a stuck Sprinter. Keeping one’s right boot deep into the Sprinter’s turbocharged throttle enabled its four wheels, clad in winter tires, to keep digging for traction while spitting out congealed mud and deleterious earthen material in an effort to supply forward propulsion. And it worked. We battled ruts so deep that the entire underside of the van banged and shuddered viciously as rocks and buried tree limbs from former logging operations

One of the organizers behind the Diwali variety show is putting his power and culture behind a fundraiser for Child Haven International. “The people organizing the food part have already had a trial run and it was fantastic,” said Suresh Basrur. “They’re really going to put a wonderful spread, a nice nice dinner.” While the event is supported by the Unitarian Church of Victoria across from Red Barn Market on West Saanich Road, it’s organized a team of volunteers with various faith backgrounds. That team hopes to sell 200 tickets to the April 18 event in Victoria. “We’re also going to have some entertainment, some dancing, a short presentation of Indian dance,” Basrur said. “We’re also going to have classical music … they’ll play some light classical music while people are eating to provide a pleasant background.” It’s all in aid of Child Haven International,

INNOVATION |Visitors will be inspired by upgrades and modern construction

Home tour showcases modern living Don Descoteau Black Press

Getting a sense of what’s hot and what ideas might work in your own home have long been drawing cards for the Young Life Home Design and Renovation Tour. Celebrating its 25th year of showcasing the work of some of the South Island’s best practitioners in restoration, renovation and new home construction, the tour has provided many visitors with ideas and connected them with professionals in the industry. This year’s tour, set for April 10 and 11, offers some serious makeovers, from a 400-square-foot microloft suite in Fairfield to a 1973 Saanich home that has been transformed into an ultra-modern living space. While four of the 10 homes on tour are essentially brand new contemporary designs, a common theme in the remaking of the other homes has been renovating the kitchen and moving out from there, says Young Life tour spokesperson Bill Okell. “It boggles my mind the whole emphasis put on the kitchen reno; that’s what stands out really,” he says. “I think almost all the (preexisting) homes are complete renovations, but it’s amazing what gets initiated in the kitchen.” While updating each of those homes’ dining and food preparation areas was central to the renovations, the structures themselves are a mix of styles, from a typical 1960s family home in Gordon Head to a spacious, restored Central Saanich farmhouse that will leave one daydreaming of the Deep South. As always, the tour organizers encourage homeowners, designers and suppliers to stick around during the tour to speak with visitors about their work, ideas and sources of inspiration. Those conversations invariably wind up happening in the kitchen,

Michelle Gilbertson/Revival Property Group

Turning a 400-square-foot suite into a luxurious micro-loft was a labour of love for the owner of this home in Fairfield. Its vaulted ceilings and expansive windows open up the cozy space to the garden and patio. It’s part of this year’s Young Life Home Design and Renovation Tour. Okell says. “When you look at a kitchen with all the appliances, the sink detail and the counters, it’s a great conversation starter,” he says. “You can really display your products, from countertops to cupboards, the electronic aspect or even the utilization of a fan – the technology that’s drawn into that busy area of the home is really quite amazing.” The tour provides an opportunity to witness firsthand the workman-

ship offered by some of Victoria’s most reputable designers and builders, including Jason Good Kitchens, Max Huxley and Emma Dane Design, to name just a few. The 1,000-plus expected visitors should have a great time viewing some stunning homes. While the tour always attracts Greater Victoria architecture and design fans, the two-day event is the primary fundraiser for Young Life, a Christian organization that provides teens with a summer camp

Road games and musical memories By Lisa Calvi

The first time I drove on public roads, I was at the wheel of my then-boyfriend’s Chevy Vega. I remember cresting a hill and gasping sharply with the realization that I was in control. The curvy road splayed out far below wasn’t some carnival ride with someone else at the helm. I couldn’t just close my eyes and wait for the terror to subside. It was up to me. I could coast down and weave gently through the corners or I could squeeze the throttle and feel the rush of acceleration and adrenaline. As a sixteenyear-old living in a small town, driving meant autonomy. There were plenty of road trips growing up. I remember long hauls from Toronto to North Carolina and Florida with my dad driving. After he and my mom left Italy, they seemed to have an urge to see the new continent they now called home. Driving, I think,

satisfied their curiosity about the world that they wanted to share with us. When we moved back to Europe for a three-year period during my early teen years, the family would venture out each Sunday in our Peugeot 504 to discover a new region. Mom would be in the passenger seat with the maps and my baby brother asleep on her lap. There was always music on those road trips. Music and road trips go together like American interstate highways and bad coffee. Music motivates, keeps you alert and adds to the euphoria of the open road. Some of my fondest memories are of singing with my sister in the back seat of the Peugeot on the winding roads of Central France. Before iPads, iPhones, in-car entertainment systems and satellite radio, there was, Beatles’ songs, ‘Michael, row your boat ashore’, and trying to remember all the words to ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’. Road games involved spotting license plates from other countries, identifying

makes of vehicles and fighting over whose turn it was to be a leaning post for sleeping baby brother, now in the back seat. I’ve always been interested in cars, roads and travel. I love the growl of a revving eight-cylinder engine. A transport truck rolling down the highway at night all lit up just like a small city still gets me excited. I just never imagined that those things would be so engrained in my work and in my life. With our automotive event planning business, most days of the year, my husband Garry Sowerby and I are on the road. It was this love of the road that brought us together. We could both relate to the words of Jack Kerouac in his classic ‘On the Road’: “… we were leaving confusion and nonsense behind and performing our one noble function of the time, move.” Our first date was a five-hour return drive to a ‘little spot’ my suitor knew. It must have worked. That was 17

years ago. Being ‘on the road’ is when our best scheming takes place. It’s romantic, soul-cleansing and gives us a sense of the wider world. What about driving, though, actually gripping the wheel and pushing the throttle? Forget the destination, the freedom of movement, the road trip, the music. What is driving? It’s that feeling that I got as I whipped a Porsche Boxster S around the tight-tight corners at a racetrack, squeezing through coned gates, powering down straight stretches and hearing the resonant instantly-recognizable growl of a Porsche engine. I had never driven faster, with such abandon yet with such intense concentration.

Or maybe I did. The 200 km/h reading on the digital speedometer of the Cadillac ATS I was driving on the back straightaway of one of the fastest, most challenging tracks in North America, Mosport, still flashes in my dreams. None of this compares to driving my very own car, a pristine white 1999 Volkswagen Golf GTI VR6. When I bought it, I knew there were two extra cylinders under the hood than the Golf GL version and that it had an additional 57 horsepower. But when I drive it, I don’t think about horsepower, torque, or fuel economy. Did somebody say ‘road trip’? Follow Lisa on Twitter: @FrontLady
