Many things have changed at Cedar Hill middle school, but the stairwells are still the same. The site of the original Mount Doug high school will host an Afternoon Social on Nov. 12, part of the school’s 80th anniversary celebrations. Seated on the steps are the Afternoon Social organizing committee: FRONT: Sheila Lindsay (1957), left, Loraine Noel (1959) and Wendy Gedney (1967); BACK: Pat Hocker (1967), left, Bob Gillespie (1948) and Pat Cusack (1961).

Mount Doug High celebrates 80 years Sam Van Schie News staff
Graduating from the original Mount Doug High in 1940, Jean Levis never had to walk 10 miles in the snow to the school – not only is there not much snow on the Island, but the school was built on her family’s land. “It was just across the field from my house,” Levis said, a statement that is still true for her today. The 91-year-old lives in seniors housing built on the same location as her childhood home. She still won’t have a far walk far to get to the school for its 80th anniversary celebration Nov. 12. Levis will be among the oldest graduates of the school, which opened in 1931. She can think of only two older living alumni. Many of her old photos and articles, which she keeps carefully catalogued in albums, have been enlarged for displays about the school’s early days. Thumbing through an album, Levis stops on a picture of the school’s first principal Bert Bailey.

“He was very handsome,” she remarked with a grin. “All the girls were crazy about him and the boys respected him.” She remembers every time her mother baked bread, Levis would bring a loaf over to the school for Bailey. “Those were different times,” she said. “You were like family with everyone at the school.” In a faded photo of her graduating class, a mere 24 students stand straight-faced in two rows. Mount Doug offered grades 8 to 12 when Levis attended. “It was (during) the Depression and many people, especially boys, had to drop out and find jobs, so there weren’t a lot of graduates,” Levis recalled. That changed after the Second World War, when the baby boom flooded the school system. By the time Pat Hocker graduated with the class of 1960, there were 66 people in her grad photo. Mount Doug had grades 10 to 12 at that time and had seen its first of several additions, including a new gymnasium.
Hocker remembers everyone in the school was assigned to one of three houses: Fraser, Skeena or Douglas. They competed against one another on the basketball court and baseball diamond at lunch hour. “There was no going to 7-Eleven at lunch,” Hocker said. “This was out in the country, there was nothing to do but play sports.” By 1969, the student population overwhelmed the original campus, and the new Mount Doug high school opened on Gordon Head Road. But for Hocker, Levis and hundreds of other former students, the original school holds a lot of memories. To celebrate 80 years since the first Mount Doug opened, an afternoon social will be held at the school Nov. 12, 1 to 4 p.m. The event will be a chance for the grads of 1931 to 1969 to visit their old homeroom, enjoy treats and refreshments and take part in an oldstyle dance with music and dance-steps from the 1930s to 1960s. Tickets are $20 in advance at the DFH Real Estate office, 3914 Shelbourne St., online at mountdougalumni.com/events-a-tickets, as well as at the door on the day of the event for $25. editor@saanichnews.com

Ruptured gas line delays road work Tattersall now expected to open before December Kyle Slavin News staff
A ruptured gas line shut down road work on Tattersall Drive Saturday, but the busy Saanich road should be open for good late next month. Workers were installing new sidewalks last week and had to pound large spikes in the ground to help with the formwork. One of the spikes appears to have punctured a gas line, but kept it sealed until Saturday when the spike was removed. “Everything seemed like it was copacetic until they started taking (spikes) out on the weekend and it started releasing the gas flow,” said Saanich’s manager of transportation Jim Hemstock. The area was closed to workers for a few hours until the line was fixed, but crews returned later in the day and remain on site. Hemstock says they’re a little behind schedule, as there was more soil than originally expected that had to be hauled out, and a few extra subterranean utilities were in poor shape and needed replacing. The $3 million project is being done by a numbered company created specifically for this job. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Giving voice to vital signs
opertated by the non-profit Glenshiel Housing Society
Sam Van Schie News staff
Walking into the Royal Jubilee emergency room last Easter, Robert Modrow thought little of his chest pain. The active 69-year-old had been to his family doctor and tests showed nothing was wrong. Emergency room doctors were just going to take an angiogram picture of blood vessels in his chest. But his heart stopped on the way to the operating room. He woke up a week later in a hospital bed with no idea what had happened. ■ Monitors display “I had black and digital vital signs blue bruises on my data on a colour chest where defibriltouchscreen located lators had been used beside a patient’s bed. to restart my heart,” ■ Healthcare providers Modrow recalled last have mobile devices week. to view the vital signs He had an incision data wherever they are in his chest for a pacein the unit. maker, and learned ■ An alarm will alert he’d had bypass surdoctors of a major gery. change in a patient’s His wife counted 16 vital signs. tubes for fluids going ■ Live health data is in and out of him. stored in the monitor He was also confor 48 hours, and can nected to a vital signs be transferred and monitor with elecsaved in a patient’s trodes measuring his electronic records. heart and respiratory rates, blood pressure and other vitals.

The campaign seeks to raise $595,000 to buy 94 vital-signs monitors for the care centre. “It’s amazing how far technology has come and how a few improvements can not only make an

Dr. Daniel Wong, director of heart health for Vancouver Island Health Authority, compared the monitors to having a member of the medical team in a patient’s room at all times. “They’re connected into the wireless communications systems that we carry, so if something changes with a patient’s vitals it immediately notifies us,” Wong said. “If we’re adjusting medication or a pacemaker, we can see what effect its having instantly on the screen.” The monitors will be used in heart health and general surgery units, where an estimated 4,000 patients will be hooked into them each year. Modrow, who has completed his cardiac rehabilitation and is now in good health, said being attached to the monitor helped him relax during his time in the hospital. “When you’re lying there you’re totally dependent on all these people and you don’t quite know what happened – you’re overwhelmed,” he said. “It was enormously comforting knowing I could drift off to sleep and the monitor would be my voice connecting me to my caregivers, and it would let them know if anything went wrong.” To donate to foundation’s fall campaign, call 250519-1750 or visit victoriahf.ca. Funds raised through the foundation’s annual Visions gala, Nov. 19 at the Fairmont Empress, will also benefit this campaign. editor@saanichnews.com

Protest surrounds ice rink site Occupy Victoria’s tent city taking up planned space Rudy Haugeneder News Staff
A long-planned and large Christmas season public skating rink covering the Centennial Square spot where the Occupy Victoria tent city sits is about to test the community spirit of protesters and the downtown business association. The two sides have yet to meet to deal with the problem – a temporary 17 by 11-metre ice rink the Downtown Victoria Business Association plans to install Nov. 21. However, both sides are optimistic a simple solution can be found. Ken Kelly, DVBA general manager, says he expects his organization will meet with People’s Assembly of Victoria representatives within two weeks to sort out the situation. The business association has been planning the ice rink project since mid-August – almost seven weeks before the People’s Assembly held its first organizational meetings. People’s Assembly supporters live in about 20 tents hat were
set up at Centennial Square last Saturday after a day-long protest in the square and downtown march by about 1,000 people, as part of the worldwide protest against corporate and banking industry greed, and economic control. Saying he personally supports the “spirit” of Occupy Victoria in finding solutions to social and economic ills facing the community, Kelly said, “I would be really very surprised if there is nothing but co-operation between us” in ensuring the rink will be set up.
“We’re looking forward to inviting all of Greater Victoria to come and enjoy an outdoor skate this winter.” – Ken Kelly Most of the protest tents sit on the planned ice rink site on the lower level of the square beside McPherson Playhouse. Anushka Nagji, a People’s Assembly spokesperson, said the ice rink comes as a shock to her group and will be discussed by the group. The solution might be as
simple as negotiating some useful material concessions from the downtown business community for moving the tent city to the more weather-exposed side of Centennial Square, she said. However, it is up to the assembly to decide what to do – if anything, said Nagji, adding that the protesters know the square does not belong to them and is a public place for all people and organizations to use. Current plans call for the open-air ice rink to be officially open Nov. 26 for what has, until now, been the annual Centennial Square Light-up and, if a solution is found to deal with the tent city, the rink would be open to skaters daily until Jan. 2. The rink cost $60,000 to rent and is supplied by an Ontario company. The DVBA plans to ask users to contribute a toonie to defray expenses, said Kelly. Skate rentals will be available. If all goes well in finding a solution with the People’s Assembly, “we’re looking forward to inviting all of Greater Victoria to come and enjoy an outdoor skate this winter,” he said. The ice – rain or shine – is good until the weather hits higher than 10 C, he said. The ice is kept cold via a chiller and piping that runs under the ice sheet. editor@saanichnews.com

Lalonde has lived her entire life with 90 per cent vision loss. And until last year, when she enrolled in a nine-month intensive blindness immersion training program, she relied on CD books and talking computer technology to “read.”
But at the Louisiana Center for the Blind – there are no formal training centres for blind or visually impaired people in Canada – Lalonde learned nonvisual life skills, from cooking for large groups and travelling with a white cane to using adaptive technology and braille. Now Lalonde, 38, wants to teach others Right on the Dot, her new introductory braille course for people who can see and those who are blind or have limited vision. She developed it after establishing her new business, BlindWay Training and Consulting Services, six months ago. “It’s really not as hard as people think it is,” Lalonde said of learning braille.

She has been an advocate and mentor in the blind and disabled communities for more than 25 years, and volunteers as national chair of the Canadian Federation of the Blind. By teaching people with sight how to read the braille alphabet and numbers, Lalonde hopes to increase their awareness about a language that isn’t often talked about. “I want to normalize it a bit for people,” Lalonde said.

Haro Woods deal close There will be several opportunities for public input on woodland’s future Kyle Slavin News staff
The future of Haro Woods will soon be up to Saanich residents. While councillors this week gave their approval to a land swap with the Capital Regional District, Mayor Frank Leonard says it’ll be up to the public to provide input on how the urban forest is best protected. “This does not have to be looked after by (Saanich parks staff),” he said. “It could have a much closer relationship with the residents of Cadboro Bay and Gordon Head.” He offered ideas like a Friends of Haro Woods Society or a Haro Woods stewardship, which could oversee the site according to the neighbourhood’s wishes. Haro Woods covers three properties currently owned by Saanich, the CRD and the University of Victoria. As part of the $7.2-million deal, the CRD will receive 1.56 hectares of Saanich’s land to install underground attenuation tanks. Their purpose is to temporarily store wastewater flows during storms and prevent downstream overflows.
This parcel of land already has sanitary infrastructure on it. The existing CRD land will become Saanich’s possession. The CRD board is expected to approve the deal Nov. 9. The public has the opportunity at that time to speak on the land exchange. Rezoning the different parcels of land – to woodland and utility zoning – requires going before council, during which the public will also be able to provide input. As well, consultation will occur with residents on how to best protect and maintain the land. If rezoning is approved, and the deal is completed, 96 per cent of Haro Woods will be protected woodland. “This agreement is as close to a win-win as you can get,” Leonard said. As part of the deal, the CRD will also receive additional Saanich land (near Hartland landfill) and $1.48 million in cash, which would come from Saanich’s park acquisition fund over eight years. “All of us knew years ago this was the kind of solution we wanted to come up with,” said Coun. Susan Brice, acknowledging Haro Woods protection has been a goal for council and neighbours for two decades. “There’s always been one vision for Haro Woods, and that is to protect it.” kslavin@saanichnews.com

OUR VIEW
Good week for Victoria economy With economic gloom casting shadows over so much of the world, it was good to have two sunny announcements in Greater Victoria this week. On Tuesday, the World Curling Federation announced the city will once again host the international men’s championship in 2013. The last time Victoria played host to this event was when Save-On Foods Memorial Centre had just opened its doors in 2005. More than 115,000 people attended matches during the competition, giving area businesses an estimated $20.4 million boost. The 2013 event promises to increase the international exposure of the city as the competition will be televised in all 12 countries that are participating. That boon to marketing will undoubtedly pay dividends for everyone who make a living from tourism. But the even bigger news came the next day after the federal government unveiled the winners of its gargantuan shipbuilding sweepstakes. Victoria missed out on the astronomical $22 billion contract awarded to Halifax for new warships. But the selection of North Vancouver-based Seaspan for the $8 million civilian ship contract is no drop in the bucket. The company controls shipyards here as well as Vancouver and local workers will reap tremendous benefits from this contract. Among the ships that will be built and tested on the West Coast is the John G. Diefenbaker polar ice breaker, which will be as long as 140 metres. This impressive ship along with Arctic offshore patrol vessels, including four oceanographic science ships and three fisheries science vessels are to be built in a relatively open process. The Diefenbaker, budgeted at $720-million, will serve to inspire industry, the public and the scientific community and give B.C.’s economy a welcome shot in the arm.

The lesson I learned is that almost anyone – at least those that weren’t born in the Internet generation – should be capable of weaning themselves off these self-imposed shackles of modern society.

OPINION
Occupy Wall Street reflects increasing frustration David Suzuki
Science Matters
I’m not the only one unhappy with economic systems based on constant growth and endlessly increasing exploitation of finite resources – systems that concentrate wealth in the hands of a few while so many people struggle. Since Sept. 17, protests have spread from New York to a growing number of cities across the United States, Europe, and Canada, in a movement dubbed “Occupy Wall Street.” The protesters’ aims aren’t always clear; in some case they seem downright incoherent or absurd – such as calls for open border policies and increased trade tariffs at the same time. It’s interesting that those credited with spurring the movement did so with a single question: “What is our one demand?” The question was first posed in Vancouver by Adbusters magazine. Editor Kalle Lasn said the campaign was launched as an invitation to act more than an attempt to get an answer. Focusing on a single demand may or may not be a useful exercise, but the conversation itself is necessary. Thanks to the attention these protests are generating, union leaders, students, workers,
and others have a public forum to raise questions about our current economic systems. Why have governments spent trillions of dollars in taxpayers’ money to bail out financial institutions, many of which fought any notion of government regulation or social assistance, while doing nothing for people who had life savings wiped out or lost homes through foreclosure? And why have governments not at least demanded that the institutions demonstrate some ecological and social responsibility in return? Why do developed nations still give tax breaks to the wealthiest few while children go hungry and working people and the unemployed see wages, benefits, and opportunities dwindle – and while infrastructure crumbles and access to good health care and education diminishes? Why are we rapidly exploiting finite resources and destroying precious natural systems for the sake of short-term profit and unsustainable economic growth? What will we do when oil runs out or becomes too difficult or expensive to extract if we haven’t taken the time to reduce our demands for energy and shift to cleaner sources?
Why does our economic system place a higher value on disposable and often unnecessary goods and services than on the things we really need to survive and be healthy, like clean air, clean water and productive soil? Sure, there’s some contradiction in protesters carrying iPhones while railing against the consumer system. But this is not just about making personal changes and sacrifices; it’s about questioning our place on this planet. In less than a century, the human population has grown exponentially, from 1.5 billion to seven billion. That’s been matched by rapid growth in technology and products, resource exploitation, and knowledge. The pace and manner of development have led to a reliance on fossil fuels, to the extent that much of our infrastructure supports products such as cars and their fuels to keep the cycle of profits and wealth concentration going. Our current economic systems are relatively new – methods we’ve devised both to deal with the challenge of production and distribution for rapidly expanding populations and to exploit the opportunities.
It may seem like there’s no hope for change, but we have to remember that most of these developments are recent, and that humans are capable of innovation, creativity and foresight. Despite considerable opposition, most countries recognized at some point that abolishing slavery had goals that transcended economic considerations, such as enhancing human rights and dignity – and it didn’t destroy the economy in the end, as supporters of slavery feared. I don’t know if the Occupy Wall Street protests will lead to anything. Surely there will be backlash. And although I wouldn’t compare these protests to those taking place in the Middle East, they all show that when people have had enough of inequality, of the negative and destructive consequences of decisions made by people in power, we have a responsibility to come together and speak out. The course of human history is constantly changing. It’s up to all of us to join the conversation to help steer it to a better path than the one we are on. Maybe our one demand should be of ourselves: care enough to do something.
Readers respond: Family Day, Occupy protests Not everyone will sleep in on Family Day Re: We’re still waiting for Family Day (The Gen Y Lens, Oct. 7) I’d like to point out to Kyle Slavin that the only people sleeping in on Family Day across the country will be government employees, teachers, bank employees (although even that is changing) and the others fortunate enough to work a Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., work week. Many more will be scrambling to find babysitting arrangements for young children who would normally be in school so they can go to their jobs in the many stores and businesses that are open seven days a week. Of course, these same places are open so that those lucky enough to have the day off can spend it shopping. Heather Wright Victoria
Mainstream media slow off the mark Thank you for running your story: Occupy Victoria takes direct aim at money, banking (News, Oct. 14). I realize there are many
aspects to the problem, more complicated than the majority of us understand, and I have been slowly grasping what this is all about. I felt your story had a good summary of the situation. It was good to see that our Occupy Victoria had an organizer. I think the protesters in New York need for a spokesperson to get a clear message out there telling the public exactly what they stand for. The protest in New York has actually been going on for a month already, but mainstream media in New York apparently did not pick up the story back then. This is the reason my husband has taken to watching news on the Internet instead of mainstream media. Susan Fernandez Saanich
Nothing wrong with rewarding hard workers I’ve watched the “occupy” protests on TV, and after watching many interviews it seems there are as many reasons people are protesting as there are people. The underlying theme
though seems to be the disparity of the have’s and have not’s, the wealthy and poor, the expanding divide and a need to change the system. And I ask, what’s wrong with a system that allows a grocery clerk like Alex Campbell Sr. to grow a chain of successful grocery businesses, employing thousands of people and investing millions of dollars into the community? What’s wrong with a system that allows a fired car salesman like Jimmy Pattison to create an empire, again employing thousands of people and investing millions into the community? The system is open to anyone who is prepared to work hard, innovate and take some risks. Look at what Apple founder Steve Jobs did for the world. He quit school and worked out of his garage. He worked hard and created value for many. These people worked hard all their lives, even though they could have retired long before their time. They’re not greedy, and they’ve been rewarded for bringing so much to so many. The other question I have to ask is: if we’re going to change the system, what are we going to change to?

World curling championships return to city Travis Paterson News staff
Eight years ago the World Men’s Curling Championships was the first act of any kind to grace the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre. Now get ready for act two. On Tuesday, the World Curling Federation and the Canadian Curling Association announced Victoria will again host the World Men’s Championships from March 30 to April 7, 2013. The idea to bring it back was Keith Dagg’s. He chaired the 2005 event “This time TSN and is co-chairing the 2013 host committee will broadcast live, with Chris Atchison. “(In 2005) we literworldwide, for ally finished the buildeight straight days, ing the night before we to all 12 countries” needed it,” Dagg said. “But the ice was great – Keith Dagg and we sold out 17 of the 22 draws – total sellouts – and that’s one of the reasons it’s coming back here.” A third-party report completed later in 2005 priced the economic impact of the World Men’s Championships at $20.4 million to Greater Victoria. “It should generate at least that,” Dagg said of the 2013 event. But Rob Gialloreto, president and CEO of Tourism Victoria, said “it’s hard to predict if it will replicate the ($20 million) impact. We’re hopeful that it will.” The greatest boost to business comes from curling fans visiting from up-Island, Western Canada and the U.S. “In 2005 there wasn’t much television coverage,” Dagg noted, “just some from CBC, but this time TSN will be broadcasting live, worldwide for eight straight days, to all 12 countries.” Tickets for the 2013 World Men’s championships will likely go on sale in March. sports@vicnews.com

Garden gnome returned after brief abduction A garden gnome is back minding its business guarding a Saanich lawn after it was briefly stolen early Monday morning. Saanich police were called to the 100-block of Regina Ave. around 3 a.m. Monday from an area resident who reported seeing two suspicious men in dark clothing carrying bags and leaving a nearby property. Police arrived and found two men who matched their descriptions a block away and made contact with them. One of the men had a screwdriver sticking out of his pocket, which led the officer to ask if he was carrying any more tools. He also had with him a flashlight, wrench and a knife. The officer searched the second man, who was found to be carrying a hammer, screwdriver, vice grips and a crescent wrench. A canine unit was called in and the dog found, just a few metres away, a garden gnome and pressure washer. The owners were located and the items were returned. “These items were taken from residences a short distance away,” said Sgt. Dean Jantzen. “It looks like they were taking items that they could find on the exterior of a home or in a carport. “This is a warning to residents that anything outside your house that isn’t attached or affixed can easily be taken.” Arrested were a 23-year-old Victoria man and a 28-year-old Saanich man. Both face charges of possession of stolen property and possession of break-in instruments. kslavin@saanichnews.com

SAANICH NEWS - Friday, October 21, 2011
Observant cop catches alleged serial thief Police believe they’ve arrested a suspect who’s been breaking in to cars in the Saanich panhandle in recent weeks. Early Monday morning, a Saanich police patrol sergeant was surveilling the neighbourhood looking for anyone that matched a rough description of their suspect: a cyclist in dark clothing. The officer noticed a man riding a bike while rolling a second bicycle next to him. Once the man noticed the cop, the cyclist tossed the second bike in a bush and “cycled swiftly from the area,” Sgt. Dean Jantzen said. Eventually the officer was Sgt. Dean able to stop the cyclist, who Jantzen appeared nervous, and told the sergeant he had been working on a bike at a friend’s house. The man was searched and a pair of bolt cutters, a screwdriver and a knife were found. He was also carrying a tool designed for emergency personnel to smash windows when extricating car crash victims. Also found in his possession was a wallet stolen from a car the day before. Matthew Patrick Savage, a 37-year-old Saanich resident, faces charges of possession of stolen property and possession of break-in instruments. Police recovered the bike thrown into the bush, but have not yet found its owner. kslavin@saanichnews.com
Serial robber captured after joint police investigation Police have nailed the bad guy they think committed eight armed robberies around the region since September. Victoria detectives arrested the 30-year-old Victoria man on Sunday and are recommending he be charged for all eight robberies, some of which were
caught on video showing a 6' white male between the ages of 20 and 30 in the act. The arrest is the culmination of a joint investigation by VicPD, Saanich Police and West Shore RCMP. Using a search warrant late Monday, police raided a home in the 3000-block of Washington Avenue where they seized various items that will help in their investigation and charges being laid.
What better gift to receive than the Gift of Savings!
The suspect has been remanded in custody until next Monday, Oct. 24. The last robbery their suspect is believed to have committed took place earlier this month when a robber wearing a grey hoodie with red lettering and a black-and-white bandana pulled over his face used what appeared to be a handgun to rob the Panago Pizza at 1108 Yates St.

Theatre staging drives social change: author UVic instructor studied audiences’ reactions Tim Collins News contributor
Will Weigler teaches a first year applied theatre course at the University of Victoria. It’s a good job for someone who has spent years as a director, producer, playwright and actor. His true passion, however, is community theatre. He believes that this form of “applied theatre” can be an important driving force for community development, education and social change. “Effective plays can be a massive engine for social change,” Weigler says. “In the end, you can take away a person’s home, their job, even their lives … you can take away almost everything. But you can never
take away their story.” Weigler surveyed and compiled thousands of accounts from theatre goers, critics and others in the industry to discover the patterns in composition and staging that led to those “aha!” moments in theatre. “It was amazing,” Will says, “I reviewed the experiences of theatre lovers and critics all over the world and found that the same patterns kept emerging.” Through a method he calls “grounded theory” Weigler says that he discovered the common factors that lead to those periods of esthetic arrest when a theatre audience sets aside its preconceived notions. It’s at that point the audience is open to a new encounter with the subject matter and the development of new ideas and viewpoints. It’s an important accomplishment for groups who may suffer from societal prejudices. The path to achieving
University of Victoria instructor Will Weigler writes in his new book Strategies for Playbuilding that theatre can be a vehicle for social change. Tim Collins photo
those moments of epiphany is the basis for Weigler’s book Strategies for Playbuilding: Helping Groups Translate Issues into Theatre. In
the book he draws upon his research to detail what he says are five key categories in staging, each with six to ten variations. It’s a blue-
print and a new vocabulary for playwrights to allow them to most effectively achieve powerful and meaningful productions. “It’s a unifying thread; a powerful method for a community to voice their experiences and through that voice to effect social change,” Weigler says. “We all filter our experience through a veil of preconceived ideas. Proper stages tears away that veil and allows for the audience to have a fresh encounter with the subject matter.” It’s also a method that allows for all members of a group to share in the creative process. It allows for their voice to emerge in the final work and encourages
cross cultural and intergenerational co-operation in the development of the play. “In the end, by using this new vocabulary and by focusing on the five key categories of staging, groups can speak the same language and share their experience and viewpoints to create a more effective message.” This isn’t a new passion for Weigler. In the late 1980s he founded a youth theatre company called the Young Actor’s Forum. His aim was to bring together youth from different cultures, ethnicities, and economic backgrounds to perform plays about their lives and perspectives. The forum is no longer running. “I wrote Strategies for Playbuilding primarily in response to people who saw our (Youth Actor’s Forum) productions and encouraged me to write about our collective process,” Weigler says. editor@oakbaynews.com

Visit www. thecastle.ca for details. Poe is the subject as well for Urban Arts Productions’ presentation of Nevermore, a bold, haunting musical, staged in the original Supreme Courtroom of B.C., on the third floor of the Maritime Museum of British Columbia. “With hauntingly beautiful melodies, Nevermore breathes new life into Poe’s work and explores a twisted true-life tale as bizarre as his classic stories of the macabre. It is a montage, a whirlwind, a dream, a life and a nightmare all in one.” Nevermore runs Oct. 27 to 29 and Nov. 3 to 5, with a special midnight performance on Oct. 29. Tickets are available at the door one hour prior to the 8 p.m. performance. Limited reserved advanced tickets are available online at

hen Victoria’s Christina Hilborne tells people she uses recycled elements in her modern furniture designs, she often gets a mixed reaction as people struggle to reconcile the idea of combining repurposed materials with modern, contemporary design. After 15 years of creating one-of-akind furniture pieces, and explaining how well these elements work together, Hilborne is launching her first furniture collection to showcase the point. “When people think of furniture that has a ‘recycled’ or a ‘sustainable’ aspect I have found they envision pieces that focus on the recycling aspect first and the design second. This collection shows that incorporating repurposed aspects, such as legs, can make for a wonderfully modern, contemporary piece,” says Hilborne, who has a studio on Bridge Street. Each piece in the Urban Chic collection will be reproduced in limited numbers using repurposed and environmentally friendly materials. The pieces are created from Kirei Board, made from reclaimed sorghum straw and non-toxic adhesives. Furniture

The Victoria Times Colonist and several other Vancouver Island daily and community newspapers have been sold. The buyer is Vancouver-based Glacier Media Inc. which offered Postmedia Network $86.5 million for the 153-year-old Times Colonist and 20 mostly weekly newspapers on the Lower Mainland and across Vancouver Island -- including the Nanaimo Daily News and Port Alberni Times. Although Postmedia said the offer was “unsolicited,� various business organizations as well as the Globe and Mail newspaper last month reported that Postmedia was exploring the sale of the Times Colonist as part of a broader strategy of paying down the company’s debts after it bought the Canwest media conglomerate for $1.1 billion. Postmedia was formed in mid-2010 to buy out bankrupt Canwest. Glacier said in a Tuesday news release that “the acquisition will be financed with bank borrowings.� The sale also includes real estate and associated Postmedia digital operations. Glacier, traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol GVC, says “the transaction is expected to close on or about Nov. 30, 2011, and is conditional upon regulatory and other customary approvals.� Glacier owns magazines and newspapers across Western Canada and in Ontario. Among these are 17 papers in B.C., including four daily newspapers. editor@saanichnews.com

Shipbuilding contract a big win, Capital Region politicians say Erin McCracken News staff
Cheers were the order of the day in Victoria and Esquimalt after the federal government announced it will award West Coast-based Seaspan Marine Corporation an $8-billion shipbuilding contract. Seaspan, which owns Victoria and Vancouver Shipyards and the Vancouver Drydock, will build a non-combat fleet that includes Canadian Coast Guard vessels, an icebreaker and joint-support navy ships. The more lucrative $25-billion combatvessel contract went to Halifax-based Irving Shipbuilding. “You always hope for the biggest, but this is nothing to sneeze at,” said Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins. “It would have been nice to get the $25 billion, but $8 billion is going to provide us with some stability at the shipyard (as well as) jobs.” She said the massive contract puts Esquimalt on the map, and the township’s industry and commercial sectors are open for business. Seaspan has said all along that the 20- to 30-year contract work will result in new and long-term jobs, and prompt capital infrastructure investment at the shipyards. The company planned to do most of the ship construction at its Vancouver yard beginning late 2012, or early 2013, while 15 to 20 per cent of the workload will fall to Victoria Shipyards. The contract “will be bringing good-paying jobs to the region, jobs that go on and on,” said Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin, adding it will represent a boon to Greater Victoria’s shipbuilding and marine industry,
which nets more than $1 billion in economic spinoffs each year. “This is a contract that will continue giving for a long time and it’s very exciting.” Not since the Second World War has the federal government awarded shipbuilding packages of this magnitude. The contracts, which make up the National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy, are worth $33 billion in total. “Building ships in Canada has historically been carried out on a project-by-project basis,” said François Guimont, deputy minister of Public Works and Government Services Canada. “While we felt we were more than capable of building the combat ships, we are honoured to have been chosen to provide noncombat vessels for the men and women of the Royal Canadian Navy and Coast Guard,” said Seaspan CEO Jonathan Whitworth. The work will inject billions of dollars into B.C.’s economy and create an average of 4,000 jobs over the next eight years, Seaspan said. “It tells us that Canada works, so B.C. can get to work,” Premier Christy Clark said. Another $2 billion in federal dollars will be up for grabs for the construction of 116 smaller federal vessels. The work will be awarded on an individual project basis to companies besides Seaspan and Irving. In addition, $500 million a year over 30 years will be available for ship repair. The umbrella contract agreements will be assigned by year end, and individual ship construction contracts will be negotiated next year. emccracken@vicnews.com - with files from Tom Fletcher, Black Press

‘Error-free’ Barbers unbeaten Oak Bay boys atop B.C. volleyball rankings Travis Paterson News staff
As the older half of the Oak Bay Barbers play their final high school volleyball season, there’s a couple of things they’d like to take with them – the Island and provincial titles and anything else they can win along the way. Seniors Alex Swiat“We’re lowski, Ryan Marcellus and Nick Stefa- keeping our eyes nakis have played on provincials, with Grade 11 students Elion Wong, but game in and Leon Young, Lars game out we’re Bornemann and Matt Hampton, since working on the they were brought specifics.” together at Oak Bay – Alex Swiatlowski High four years ago. As juniors, the group won an Island and provincial championship. But, as a triple-A senior team, they were defeated by G.P. Vanier in last year’s Island finals and were knocked out of the provincials by Earl Marriot (Surrey).
Oak Bay hasn’t won the senior provincial volleyball title since 2006. So far, it’s motivated the Barbers to an undefeated season as the top-ranked triple-A team in the province. Along the way they redeemed themselves against Earl Marriott in a September tournament, part of a perfect record. Well, nearly perfect. “We did lose a set in tournament play,” said Swiatlowski, the team captain. “We’re pretty happy with the fact we’ve beaten every triple-A team ranked in the top 10 that we’ve played, plus the top double-A ranked team, Langley Christian (twice).” The Barbers started October by winning a 40-team tournament hosted by University of B.C. Plenty of CIS scouts were there to see the 6-foot-6 height of Swiatlowksi, one of many Barbers likely to play for a university next year. Coming up, Oak Bay will host the AAA Islands on Nov. 18 and 19, a tournament the Barbers are favoured to win easily. Until then, coach Al Carmichael has the team working on the little things, Swiatlowski said. “We’re keeping our eyes on provincials, but game in and game out we’re working on the specifics, like our passing and attacks.” The Barbers can’t afford to look past their

local competition, as they learned during a league game against Claremont earlier this season. “Claremont has talent and they can play, but we played an error-free set, winning 25-1,” Swiatlowski said. “I guess we got distracted and in the second set, we still won 25-15, but we made 14 unforced errors. Eliminating errors has been a big difference this year.” It’s not that the Barbers need a perfect league record to accomplish what they
want. They’ve just been playing as a group for so long, they’ve become accustomed to pushing for more. Some of the guys have been together since Grade 8 at Lansdowne middle school, said Barbers’ assistant coach Rick Wutzke, who coached that team to a city and provincial championship. “Then they came to Oak Bay and got coach Carmichael, who is such a great coach and builds on that success.” sports@vicnews.com

Oak Bay grad wins surf title Sam Van Schie News staff
An Oak Bay High grad cleaned up at the Queen of the Peak surf contest last weekend. Hanna Scott, 20, won first place in both the shortboard and longboard surfing competitions, taking away $1,500 cash and a new longboard worth $1,000. “It’s fairly unbelievable that one of our girls won both competitions,” said contest organizer Krissy Montgomery, owner of Surf Sister where Scott works as a surfing instructor. In its second year, Queen of the Peak attracted 80 female surfers to the two-day event on Oct. 15 and 16 – with the short-
board contest the first day and longboard the next. Last year, Scott finished fourth in the shortboard event and didn’t compete in longboard. “She’s been working really hard over the past year,” Montgomery said. “She’s so keen. She’s the first one in the water every day.” Scott’s father, Ian Scott, made the trip from Oak Bay with his wife to watch their daughter compete. “It’s nerve wracking seeing her out there,” he said. “It’s luck of the draw what she’s going to get as far as waves.” Judges rank surfers based on their two best rides, so the more waves they catch, the better their chances.
Ian said the wins will help his daughter on her way to becoming a professional surfer. She’s already secured some big-name sponsors. She couldn’t be reached for comment following the competition because she was out on a remote photo shoot for Roxy clothing. “We’re very proud of her,” her dad said. “She was a multi-sport athlete growing up, but has really settled into surfing as what she wants to do.” Scott learned to surf on a family vacation to Hawaii when she was 10. After graduating from Oak Bay High in 2008, she moved to Tofino to focus on the sport. editor@oakbaynews.com

Sailor earns a special kiss Erin McCracken News staff
Ordinary Seaman Jeff McConnell is a grown man who can now say he has travelled to the other side of the world and back. But when he saw his wife Melissa waiting for him at the end of his ship’s gangplank at CFB Esquimalt last Thursday (Oct. 13), McConnell grinned like a little kid before taking her in his arms and pressing his lips against hers. The View Royal couple was the first to kiss, just minutes after HMCS Ottawa was brought alongside a dockyard jetty after spending more than four months at sea. The “first kiss” has special meaning for many navy couples, and has become something of a tradition when ships return after lengthy voyages. After Ottawa was deployed June 6 to conduct a multinational training mission and to pay diplomatic visits to Asia-Pacific nations, spouses waiting at home and sailors and officers aboard the warship purchased raffle tickets – one for $2 or three for $5 – for a chance to win the “first kiss” prize.
Melissa purchased six tickets, one of which was randomly drawn. “I was pretty nervous all day long (about kissing in front of the large crowd),” McConnell said. “People kept reminding me. But I was happy we won.” After the cheers died down following their peck, waiting family members were welcomed onto the warship’s deck, where many of the 253 crew members stood holding single red or white carnations. “I’m just glad to be home,” said McConnell, pausing to answer one of the many questions his eldest daughter, Maddison, 7, peppered him with after they reunited. While at sea, HMCS Ottawa participated in Operation Talisman Sabre – a three-week biennial warfare exercise involving 14,000 Canadian, U.S. and Australian and other allied military forces – off the northeast coast of Australia. “It’s really about practising what we do when we’re deployed in operations,” said Commodore Peter Ellis, who commands the Royal Canadian Navy’s West Coast fleet. emccracken@vicnews.com
