World curling championships return to city Travis Paterson News staff

Sharon Tiffin/News staff

Occupying Victoria Michael Major and Jane Baigent were among more than 1,000 protesters taking part in Occupy Victoria on the grounds of the B.C. Legislature and Centennial Square. The protest was part of the anti-corporate Occupy Wall Street movement, which has now spread to close to 1,000 cities in 82 countries around the world. News reporter Rudy Haugeneder gets a Victoria take on the protests on page A12.

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 and is co-chairing the 2013 host committee with Chris Atchison. “(In 2005) we literally finished the building the night before we needed it,” Dagg said. “But the ice was great 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 done later in 2005 priced the impact of the World Men’s Championships at $20.4 million to Victoria. “It should generate at least that,” Dagg said of the 2013 event. “In 2005 there wasn’t much television coverage, just some from CBC, but this time TSN will be broadcasting live, worldwide for eight straight days, to all 12 countries.” The greatest impact comes from curling fans visiting from up-Island, Western Canada and the U.S. 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 be.” Tickets for the 2013 World Men’s championships will likely go on sale in March. sports@vicnews.com PLEASE SEE: Club at centre of curling tourney, Page A24

CIVIC ELECTION Nov. 19

’11

his municipal election, the Victoria News is getting voters involved in our campaign coverage like never before. We’re seeking out typical Victoria and Esquimalt citizens, asking them a little about themselves and their politics, delving into the key issue(s) for them personally and then taking that issue to the candidates for a direct response. If you would like to get involved in this project, please contact editor Kevin Laird at klaird@blackpress.ca. We’ll be posting all these features online – and in print – at www.vicnews.com, and we invite both voters and candidates to join the conversation through our Disqus online commenting feature. From there, it’s up to you, the voters, to decide on Nov. 19.

Three to challenge Fortin for mayor’s job Paul Brown

Along with the four mayoral candidates, 20 people are competing for eight seats on Victoria city council Roszan Holmen News staff

Steve Filipovic

Dean Fortin

David Shebib

The self-described garbage guru, David Shebib, is hedging his bets by running for mayor in both Victoria and Saanich. Shebib joins Paul Brown and Steve Filipovic in the campaign to unseat Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin. The last-minute candidate filed nomination papers in the two municipalities shortly before last Friday’s deadline. Shebib, a Saanich resident, gained attention in Victoria, by police and the media, through his protest against the city’s bylaws prohibiting camping in public spaces. He was found guilty of multiple municipal bylaw offences through the provincial court in 2009. Mayoral candidate Brown is a partner in a consulting firm specializing in governance issues. He has been actively campaigning since spring, and this month joined a slate of council candidates running under the banner Open Victoria. Filipovic runs a home renovation company. He ran for mayor in 2008, and in 2010 ran for council on a platform to fix the Johnson Street Bridge for $8.6 million -- a figure based on an early cost estimate before further analysis indicated the job required significantly more work. Fortin served two terms as city councillor before being elected mayor in 2008. He gave up his 17-year career as executive director of the Burnside Gorge Community Centre to take the position. Along with the four mayoral candidates, 20 people are competing for eight seats on council. All eight of Victoria city councillors are campaigning to keep their spot: ■ Geoff Young, chair of the CRD board, served on city council from 1983 to 1999 and 2005 to present

■ Charlayne Thornton-Joe, elected to council in 2002 ■ Pam Madoff, elected to council in 1993 ■ John Luton, elected to council in 2008 ■ Philippe Lucas, elected to council in 2008 ■ Lynn Hunter, a former MP for Saanich-Gulf Islands, elected to council in 2008 ■ Chris Coleman, elected to council in 1999 ■ Marianne Alto, elected in the 2010 byelection to replace Sonya Chandler The 12 other challengers for a seat on city council are: ■ John C. Turner, founded the Community Services Association ■ Sean Murray, unemployed, volunteers at a seniors’ centre ■ Ben Isitt, previously taught history at UVic and UBC, and is now pursuing a PhD in law at the University of Victoria ■ Rose Henry, a long-time advocate for the homeless in Victoria, writer and vendor for Victoria Street Newz ■ Lisa Helps, executive director of Community Micro Lending, an advisor during the city’s official community plan review ■ Shellie Gudgeon, owns 5th Street Bar and Wood Fired Grill, active in Quadra Village rejuvenation effort ■ Linda McGrew, Open Victoria, director of a conservation society ■ Sukhi Lalli, Open Victoria, a Langford resident, owns a pharmacy downtown ■ Aaron Hall, Open Victoria, a realtor ■ Jon Valentine, homemaker and contributor to Coalition to End Homelessness ■ Robin Kimpton ■ Saul Andersen Municipal elections will be held Nov. 19 across B.C. rholmen@vicnews.com

Eight candidates in Esquimalt race Erin McCracken News staff

That knock on your front door is the sound of the election campaign trail heating up in Esquimalt where eight candidates are competing for six seats on council. There is no race for the mayor’s seat and Mayor Barb Desjardins will be acclaimed by Oct. 24. Following the close of nomi-

nations last Friday (Oct. 14), Esquimalt’s council candidates include: ■ Retiree Bob McKie, 62, a member of the Esquimalt Lions Club, co-chairs the Esquimalt Buccaneer Days committee, volunteers with the parks and recreation committee. ■ David Schinbein, 58, works for Commissionaires. The retired army reservist and former paramedic and financial advisor served as a Hanover, Ont. town

councillor, from 1997 to 2000, and on Grey County, Ont., council, from 2000 to 2003. ■ Dave Hodgins, 62, is president and CEO of Tarrthail Consulting, a fire rescue and emergency management consulting company. He is a former B.C. fire commissioner and assistant deputy minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General. PLEASE SEE: Referendum, Page A13

Sixteen seeking nod on board of education Erin Cardone News staff

The papers are in and 16 names are on the list as candidates for board of education trustees with the Greater Victoria school district. All nine current-serving trustees hope to be re-elected. They include: ■ Tom Ferris, current board of education chair, former teacher and businessman, and director with the Entrepreneurial Learning Foundation ■ Catherine Alpha, teacher and former early childhood educator ■ Jim Holland, Anglican clergyman, former head of the local and B.C. Parent Advisory Councils ■ Bev Horsman, 25-year trustee and former leader of Island and provincial school trustees associations ■ Elaine Leonard, 15-year trustee, former executive with parent advisory councils ■ Michael McEvoy, nine-year trustee, current president of the B.C. School Trustees Association, former campaign chair with the United Way of Greater Victoria ■ Peg Orcherton, nine-year trustee, member of the board’s needs budget

committee ■ David Pitre, former teacher, student counsellor, principal and associate superintendent of schools ■ John Young, 15-year trustee, former teacher, challenger of student fees Seven non-trustees are also in the race. They are: ■ David Bratzer, Victoria police officer, critic of the so-called war on drugs ■ Edith Loring-Kuhanga, current trustee with Saanich school district, teacher, Gitxsan First Nation member ■ Diane McNally, reading recovery teacher at Frank Hobbs elementary ■ Deborah Nohr, teacher of 25 years ■ David Rand, board director for the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority and the James Bay Community Project, president of the Cridge Centre for the Family, and vice-president of Kaleidoscope Theatre and owner of JayLynn jewellers in Sidney ■ Richard Stern The election for board of education trustees happens Nov. 19 alongside municipal elections. ecardone@vicnews.com

Ordinary Seaman Jeff McConnell locks lips with his wife, Melissa, aboard HMCS Ottawa on Thursday. The pair won the chance to enjoy the first homecoming kiss in the ship’s raffle draw. The warship arrived home after more than four months at sea.

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

The Bra Lady Is Coming to Size You Up

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra. Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in. Chapman is coming to VICTORIA

& SIDNEY ON TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25 to outﬁt you with the

best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly. “Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.” Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

YOU’VE TRIED ALL THE REST - NOW TRY THE BEST • NO UNDERWIRES • NO ELASTIC STRAPS • NO STRAPS FALLING OFF SHOULDERS • NO RIDING UP IN THE BACK

You can sign up for Chapman’s bra clinic by calling

randomly drawn. “I was pretty nervous (about kissing in front of the large crowd) all day long,” 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

IN BRIEF

Victim services boss leaves post An organization that helps victims of crime is without a leader again. Lorna Hillman, the former director of Greater Victoria Police Victim Services, left her post in late September, less than two years after she took the job. Hillman replaced Geraldine Glattstein, who was dismissed in September 2009. A job posting for the open position closed Friday.

Gun could lead to other crimes Victoria police are checking whether the handgun they found in the home of a 27-yearold Victoria man arrested Thursday was used in crimes they are investigating. The man, arrested outside his 100-block South Turner St. home on two counts of breaching probation orders, is described as “very well known to police and is viewed as a violent offender,” and was in possession of “two large knives and an assortment of drugs, including marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin.” Police are keeping him in custody and are thinking about laying other charges against him.

Victoria third in food drive Though third time wasn’t the charm for the Mustard Seed food bank in the third annual Great Canadian Food Fight, it collected more food and cash than last year. When the dust settled Saturday (Oct. 15) at 6 p.m. at the close to the 48-hour competition, Regina retained its champion title, collecting 227,703 kilograms of food. Halifax came in second with 70,883 kilograms of food. In Greater Victoria, about 61,235 kilograms of food – 6,577 kilograms more than last year – was donated. It is enough food to stock the Mustard Seed’s shelves for about a month.

Residents demand to know what recommendations went to the province Erin Cardone News staff

A report that will play a part in determining the future of policing in Esquimalt is being pegged by some as an election issue. Municipal council candidate Dave Hodgins said the current council should release its recommendations contained within a report, which is in the hands of the province to decide whether Victoria Police Department will continue to work in the municipality or whether the service will be handed over to the RCMP. “For the public to make informed decisions as they go to the ballot (box on Nov. 19), they need to know what the candidates stand for, whether they are incumbents or whether they are running for the first time,” Hodgins said. “The public today are interested. The public want to know, want to be engaged and be engaged in an effective way. How can we be involved in an effective way in the absence of quality information?” Tim Morrison, co-chair of the Esquimalt Residents Association and a council candidate, challenged Mayor Barb Desjardins and council “to state publicly right now whether or not they would release the report immediately upon being sworn into office. “The future of Esquimalt policing is perhaps the single biggest issue facing Esquimalt residents in advance of this fall’s municipal elections, yet we are not allowed to know our council’s official policing plan,” Morrison said in an email. “Policing is our single most expensive service, yet we are not allowed to know its future cost. Both Esquimalt council and the province are keeping us in the dark.” But Desjardins said her council won’t release the report because it contains “sensitive” information related to labour – police officers and civilian staff from other municipalities could be affected. “There are labour issues, there are

all sorts of requirements that would be sensitive in many ways,” Desjardins said. “I’m concerned that it would be turned into an election issue. We’re in the middle of a process and the process is not complete. I think it’s important for Esquimalt residents to know where they’re at, to know the process, but I don’t want to jeopardize the process because we’re coming into an election.” In response to growing concerns by residents, council planned to meet during an in-camera session Monday night. It also planned to review the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General’s second request for additional information concerning Esquimalt’s preferred policing contractor. VicPD has policed Esquimalt since 2003. In March, Esquimalt sought policing proposals from neighbouring departments, but Saanich declined to bid, leaving the race to VicPD and the RCMP’s E division. Public Safety Minister Shirley Bond said in a statement she might not make a decision on the report before the Nov. 19 municipal elections. Meanwhile, the province has ordered an interim review of the issues that have been plaguing the police service shared by Victoria and Esquimalt. Jean Greatbatch, a certified human resources professional, is conducting the interim review and is expected to submit recommendations by Jan. 30. “So we just see this as the ministry’s ongoing due diligence to finish off the policing audit (conducted in 2010) where it may have come up short for us in terms of the key concerns which were governance, decision-making around financing and dispute resolution,” Desjardins said. “Ideally, it would have been nice to have had it done three years ago, but the issues continue in terms of Victoria and Esquimalt (not) functioning (well).” ecardone@vicnews.com

69 Beacon Hill’s roads get the boot Four kilometres of roadways and 583 parking stalls located in Beacon Hill Park are one step closer to becoming history. Victoria city council’s environmental and infrastructure standing committee approved a plan to convert most of these impervious surfaces into trails and green space. Feedback from the public has come back in favour of the transformation plan. It includes moving parking to the park’s edges, closing a number of internal roads, improving park trails and adding directional signage. Not all vehicle access will be barred within the park, however. “The park is well used by the elderly and disabled so quality

access to a number of key locations is required,” wrote Doug Demarzo, manager of planning design, in his staff report. “There will even be family-friendly parking,” said committee member Coun. Philippe Lucas, who advocates for stalls designated for parents with children in all city owned or run parking lots. The plan “should make the park more natural and user-friendly without significant negative impacts on accessibility,” wrote Lucas in an email to the News. If formally approved by council, the changes will take five years and cost an estimated $530,000. rholmen@vicnews.com

A Victoria woman accused of killing a motorcyclist on Canada Day in Langford will challenge the allegation that she was driving while impaired. Tracy Smith, 35, has pleaded not guilty to dangerous driving causing death and impaired driving causing death. She has chosen a trial by B.C. Supreme Court judge alone. Janarthan Mahenthiran, 47, died when an oncoming southbound Lexus crossed the line and hit his Yamaha FZ-1 head-on on the TransCanada Highway, just north of the Spencer Road interchange bridge. He died at the scene. In court Thursday, Smith’s lawyer Robert Jones said his client admits to being the operator and owner of the Lexus, and that Mahenthiran died at the scene due to the trauma of the collision. Jones will challenge the Crown’s allegation that Smith was impaired at the time of the incident and was

driving erratically. Jones will also examine details surrounding how West Shore RCMP collected evidence of Smith’s alleged impairment. A date for a preliminary hearing has yet to be set. The Crown expects to call at least 15 witnesses over two days. Smith has a history of abusing drugs and alcohol, and was released in July from VisionQuest addiction recovery centre in Surrey. Mahenthiran, an avid motorcyclist who worked in information technology, had only lived in Victoria for about a year before his death. His wife and family live in Toronto. On Canada Day, he opted to cruise up-Island alone on what was a bright, sunny day instead of with a larger group ride planned for the afternoon. Motorcyclist Dave Adams of Cowichan Bay, who has attended every hearing on this case at Western Communities Courthouse, gave first aid to Mahenthiran at the scene prior to emergency responders arriving. editor@vicnews.com

Bedside monitors focus of foundation’s fundraiser Campaign hopes to raise $595,000 for vital signs monitors at Royal Jubilee Sam Van Schie News staff

Walking into the Royal Jubilee Hospital’s 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. “I had black and blue bruises on my chest where defibrillators had been used to restart my heart,” Modrow recalled last week. He had an incision in his chest for a pacemaker, and learned he’d had six bypass surgeries. His wife counted 16 tubes for fluids going in and out of him. He was also connected to a vital signs monitor with electrodes measuring his heart and respiratory rates, blood pressure and other vitals. These monitors used to be shared between patients as they became available, but in the new Patient Care Centre, the goal is to have one in every patient room, thanks to the Victoria Hospitals Foundation fall fundraising campaign. 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 impact

on patient care and outcomes that directly save lives,” foundation chair Rod Dewar said. Dr. Daniel Wong, director of heart health at Royal Jubilee, 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 it’s 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 the foundation’s fall campaign, call 250-519-1750 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

OUR VIEW

Mixed messages deserve notice When more than 1,000 people marched through the streets on Saturday for the Occupy Victoria movement, their malcontent might have been lost in the legion of messages their signs displayed. Despite their apparent lack of solid cause for demonstration, the message is clear: People are unhappy as life becomes more difficult. For years now, the gap between the rich and the poor has been widening in Canada – Statistics Canada has shown us the numbers. The middle class is being swallowed by layoffs, taxes and debt. Though Stephen Harper assures Canadians things aren’t as bad here as in the U.S., try telling that to the masses who feel the pinch from every direction. We have yet to hear politicians directly address the protesters and offer any sign of changes that might come down the pipe. Policy-makers: Ignore at your own peril. The Occupy movement’s mess of unhappiness indeed has a clear message. People are tired of seeing the world’s richest one percent make strides as the other 99 per cent constantly cut back to get by. We’ve seen what can happen when governments ignore a dissatisfied and frustrated populace. Look to the uprisings in Greece and the astounding Arab Spring movement. We do not suggest anything of a similar magnitude is imminent for Victoria – or Canada, for that matter. But with tents still pitched in Centennial Square, the Occupy demonstrators’ message is clearly not going away any time soon. The signs in the Victoria crowd on Saturday read: “You can’t eat money;” “Eat the rich;” “Greed kills,” and sarcastically, “Never question authority. Everything will be OK.” Government and business need to find a way to level the playing field when it comes to people’s standard of living. What do you think?

Federal Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq was in B.C. last week to sign an agreement to hand over authority and funding for on-reserve health programs to a new aboriginal authority that will work with the provincial health system directly to administer reserve health programs. This will end a parallel health system run by Ottawa on reserves. A similar agreement was signed in 2006 for aboriginal schooling. Alas, five years later, there is still wrangling between the First Nations Education Steering Committee and Ottawa over funding. But I’m told there is progress there, with resolution possible by the end of this year.

LETTERS

Canadian Club led charge for memorial trees Recently there have been letters and articles in the media about the memorial trees removed at Victoria High School to enable the construction of the new addition. Some of the letters and articles have correctly identified the organization behind the planting of the original trees and the planting ceremony held on April 20, 1917, but others have not. The original trees were bought by the Women’s Canadian Club of Victoria from

a nursery on the Saanich Peninsula for $10.50. The trees were planted at a ceremony on April 20, 1917, the second anniversary of the battle of Ypres, to honour the brave Canadians who fought in that battle, and to commemorate the the First World War. Hundreds of people participated in the tree planting ceremony. The Women’s Canadian Club was an active supporter of the local war effort. Within a few days of the tree planting,

members also organized a tag day and a concert to raise funds. A sub-committee administered the Returned Soldiers Fund, loaning money to returning veterans to help them get re-established and to help their families. The Women’s Canadian Club of Victoria was formed in 1909, three years after the Men’s Club was initiated. The two groups came together in 1995 as the Canadian Club of Victoria and continues today.

The Canadian Club has been invited to attend and participate in the re-dedication of the memorial trees on Nov. 10 at Victoria High School at 10 a.m. Hopefully, a significant number of other citizens will join the students and staff of Victoria High School in this ceremony of remembrance. Barbara Strachan President The Canadian Club of Victoria

Readers respond: infrastructure, vigil, feeding the poor, military, teachers Bridge’s yo-yo costs leaves taxpayer uncomfortable Re: Johnson St. Bridge costs rise and fall (News, Oct. 12) I join other Victoria taxpayers who are among the “very skeptical” about the Johnson Street Bridge project. This project didn’t start off on the best foot. I think a regularly scheduled public accounting is in order. Is city council prepared to put the costs under oath in an effort to sort fact from fiction over the project? Opponents of the project contend that the proposed bridge would be too expensive and a potential drain on taxpayers if the bridge’s yo-yo costs aren’t covered. And where are our MLAs and MP? I am concerned that the contract contains little language protecting taxpayers from financial liability. I question whether that language would offer ironclad protection, because the assurances by the city aren’t doing it for me. William Perry Victoria

‘Not another penny without proof’ Perhaps Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA Ida Chong could reveal what economic, environmental or social benefits have been identified that would justify spending $782 million on sewage treatment. And perhaps

Premier Christy Clark could tell us what economic impact the additional taxes we will all end up paying (forever) will have on our community. How about everyone, especially our candidates for election, start demanding “Not another penny without proof.” What is there to hide? Nothing. Bob Wheaton Victoria

Coverage of pro-life vigil appreciated Re: Group vows 40-day vigil at women’s clinic (News, Oct. 5) Thank you for your balanced coverage of our 40 Days for Life vigil outside the Vancouver Island Women’s Clinic. You devoted almost exactly half the space in the story to our vigil and half to the views of those who support the unrestricted abortion of unborn babies. It is because I know Black Press and its devotion to balanced reporting that I am so confident that when you report on the Rock for Reproductive Justice event planned by our opponents on Oct. 22, you will give 50 per cent of the coverage to our comments.

Rainbow Kitchen service one-of-a-kind Re: Rainbow Kitchen opens

doors to those in need (News, Oct. 7) Now that Our Place bans anybody under the age of 19, the Rainbow Kitchen is the only place that’s open to families for lunch. It is free and open most days of the week. The Committee to End Homelessness thinks it is a disgrace that kids go hungry. The committee will continue to advocate for the homeless and for the many folks who do have a home but don’t have enough money for food. The committee is proud that Victoria does have one kitchen that runs on a shoestring, purely with volunteers, and does the job so well. Alison Acker Victoria

Canadian Troops should stay at home Re: Peace is possible with Canada’s help (Letters, Oct. 5) Joanna Wilkinson’s letter was thought-provoking. At present Canada has a Department of National Defence. I have long thought, given that we have among the world’s longest boundaries, the DND should live up to its name, as opposed to a war department. Even when it comes to peacekeeping, the demands of defence mean that only a small number of our troops should be

deployed beyond our boundaries. Such a move should release enough funds to enable the troops to be well equipped and paid for their job. Victor Allen Victoria

Teachers happy to charge for extra work Re: School trustees ‘rushed’ by hints of lockout (News, Oct. 7) Deducting pay for work that teachers do not do is an interesting concept. Using the same reasoning perhaps teachers should adopt the medical profession model of charging for extra work that they perform. If this occurs I think the public would soon realize what a great deal they were previously getting for the amount they were paying teachers. Peter Denby Victoria

Occupy Victoria tent protesters vow to stay until changes made Diverse crowd shares discontent at demonstration through city streets Rudy Haugeneder News Staff

GIVE THEM A PAPER ROUTE! 250-360-0817

Occupy Victoria protesters who set up a tent city at Centennial Square say they will remain until evicted or the social and economic problems that led to the protest are solved. There’s no chance police will be ordered to evict the protest campers, Mayor Dean Fortin said Monday . “We don’t see any need at this time,” said Fortin who praises the Occupy Victoria movement and its international counterparts as “citizen participation and one of the emerging issues of our times.” While the police are aware he supports the Occupy Victoria movement, Fortin said he has not told police how to treat the protesters because “it is totally inappropriate for the mayor to interfere with police operations.” Fortin said “people have an urgent need to be involved in the events and process that shape their lives.” Const. Mike Russell, Victoria police media spokesperson, said police actions are designed to “work with rather than against” the protesters, adding the police have talked with the mayor and act accordingly. Russell said no additional police manpower has been alloted to keeping an eye on the protest camp other than the “typical patrol” Centennial Square normally undergoes. At least 17 tents occupied by about 30 protesters have been on the site since the Saturday launch of the Occupy Victoria protest that saw demonstrations

Sharon Tiffin/News staff

Hundreds gathered at the Occupy Victoria protests at Centennial Square Saturday, part of a worldwide protest. by several hundred people at Centennial Square, on the B.C. legislature grounds, and a march through downtown Victoria by more than 1,000 people. Occupy Victoria protesters said the mayor could easily have used his power to order police to disrupt two Occupy Victoria protests – the downtown protest by the recently founded People’s Assembly of Victoria and a similar demonstration by another group called We Are Change Victoria, on the B.C. legislature grounds earlier the same day and attended by about 300 people. “The mayor being on side is huge,” said Anushka Nagji, 25, one of the People’s Assembly organizers and a University of Victoria law student who graduates in April. “He has a lot of power and was in a position to allow or not allow it to happen.” She said she is “heartened” at the friendly police attitude towards the Occupy Victoria protesters. Fellow organizer Rob Rao, 34, said Fortin could have called in police to evict the campers because of a city bylaw that says tents and other temporary structures put up in public parks can only stay in place between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. and must then be dis-

mantled. Unlike the B.C. legislature grounds demonstration that had a letter of approval from the province, the people behind the Centennial Square protest and march did not have permits from the city and were technically illegal. Rao said the overwhelming majority of people involved in Saturday’s demonstration were individuals who said they would not normally get involved in public protest but are increasingly upset at corporate and bank control of the economy that is crushing jobs, destroying social programs, and telling governments what to do. Josh Steffler, spokesman for the We Are Change Victoria which is not tied to the People’s Assembly, said Fortin was correct in allowing Occupy Victoria to proceed without interference. “It would have been easy for him to say, ‘No, they don’t have a permit (for Saturday’s protest and the tent city)” and tell the police, ‘Please remove them’.” Even though the city has now shut down power outlets to Centennial Square, the protesters said it is just a minor inconvenience. editor@vicnews.com

Each year offers a different ghostly route exploring the cities well- and lesser-known ghost haunts, Adams said.

Esquimalt council questions non-profit ‘double-dipping’ Erin McCracken News staff

Esquimalt municipal council may one day toughen its stance on organizations benefit-

ting from both grants and permissive tax exemptions. Concerns were raised at a recent Esquimalt council meeting when Mayor Barb Desjar-

dins and councillors reviewed the proposed 2011 tax exemption bylaw, exempting 14 organizations from paying for property taxes for the coming year.

As a result, the groups will save a combined $149,638. There may be alternate ways of supporting organizations without financially stress-

ing the community, “because this is a significant amount when you add it all up,” said Desjardins. Outspoken Esquimalt resident and regular

council observer Rod Lavergne said it doesn’t make sense that nonprofit groups appear to be receiving allowable tax exemptions from the municipality just TELUS AUTHORIZED DEALERS

because they have for years. “I guess we’re not having a tax increase next year, if you’re spending all this money,” he blasted. “Start taking a look at this permissive tax grant and don’t tell me we need high rises in Esquimalt to get a (larger) tax base, because you’re wasting our money all the time,” Lavergne said. “It seems in Esquimalt once you get on the gravy train, you are not allowed to get off of that.” Council also expressed concern that some of the same organizations also received grants this year to help cover programming and operational expenses, including the Esquimalt Neighbourhood House Society, which received $17,000, the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Victoria, which received $7,000, and PEERS Victoria Resource Society and the City of Victoria (for Canada Day celebrations) each received $2,000. Council has allocated $101,038 in grants so far this year, and there is $3,580 left in the pot. It is “tantamount to double-dipping,” said Coun. Don Linge. “I think the line becomes somewhat fuzzy, so going forward I would suggest (a future) council may want to tighten up those requirements so that some organizations cannot apply for both kinds.” Council is scheduled to consider approving the 2011 tax exemption bylaw on Monday (Oct. 24). emccracken@vicnews.com

Langford Council on behalf of the governments of Canada and British Columbia,

is pleased to invite you to the grand opening of the new sportsplex at City Centre Park. Langford Lanes, Westhills Arena and Goudy Field are key components in our long-term commitment to provide the best in recreational options for families and people of all ages. The cooperation with the Federal and Provincial governments in funding the new facilities is greatly appreciated. Bowling is a great sport because it can be enjoyed by grandparents, parents and children together, regardless of their skill level. The new arena addresses the growing demand for more ice time for sports groups, and positions Langford favourably to host tournaments and other events. Goudy Field, the second articial all-weather turf eld, played an integral role in Rugby Canada’s decision to move its training facilities and men’s and women’s teams to Langford. That is quite an accomplishment for a City the size of Langford, and something the entire community can be proud of. A new green pedestrian network will include new and improved cyclist and pedestrian paths connecting Langford’s neighbourhoods and attractions. The new sportsplex is an example of all levels of government working together to promote healthy lifestyles and build strong communities by providing recreation for everyone. We are working on adding a YM/YWCA swimming pool at City Centre Park, and there’s more excitement on the way.

Erin McCracken News staff

Paul Saunders and Graham Stark are preparing once again to take turns driving a coach bus between Las Vegas, Nev. and Tucson, Ariz. next month. On Nov. 18 the Victoria filmmakers will take their fifth annual virtual road trip, called the Desert Bus for Hope marathon charity, in front of a live Internet audience. For as long as their fans donate, the team will continue to drive, or rather, play “the most boring” eight-hour video game, Saunders said. “The real devious part is your bus lists to the right as you drive. You can’t just tape your controller down and leave it.” Last year, they drove the bus for six days straight and raised $209,000, helping the U.S.-based Child’s Play charity generate more than $2 million in toys, games and cash for children’s hospitals around the world. About $35,000 of that went to the B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver, and more than $15,000 in cash and toys went to Victoria General Hospital, said Kristin Lindsay, U.S.-based Child’s Play foundation co-ordinator. As the creators of Bionic Trousers Media, a successful Victoria-based Internet sketch-comedy troupe that produces four popular online shows, Stark and Saunders are used to being behind and in front of the cameras. Since creating their flagship online show Loading

Ready Run in 2003, their sketch-comedy work has been featured at film and comic conventions, as well as on NBC and CNN. Saunders estimates Loading Ready Run enjoys 10,000 to 20,000 views a week, while their Unskippable series, which offers a tongue-and-cheek look at video games, receives up to 400,000 views a month.

“If you sort of imagine 300,000 or 400,000 people actually sitting in a theatre watching your show, that’s kind of cool,” said Saunders, 28. “The wonderful thing about the Internet is there’s no borders and no boundaries, and often, while we do have a pretty solid fan base here in Victoria, we hear from people all over the world (especially Sweden).” Much of heir work has a “video-game bent,” though their comedy doesn’t stop there. Their latest creations are CheckPoint, a humorous video-game news show, and Feed Dump provides edgy commentaries on different topics. They film their weekly shows in their Victoria studio, as well as out in the community. “As big geeks ourselves, we tended to do a lot video-game type content because that’s what we were thinking about a lot,” said Saunders. “It turns out a lot of the stuff I do now to make money, in some ways, video games classify as research.” To watch their shows, please visit loadingreadyrun. com or visit desertbus.org during their charity drive, beginning Nov. 18 at 6 p.m. emccracken@vicnews.com

Radio and TV host Vicki Gabereau hosts the fundraiser for Child Haven International, which operates nine homes for more than 1,250 destitute children and women in India, Nepal, Tibet and Bangladesh. “If you haven’t heard of Child Haven, there’s a good reason,” Gabereau said in a press release. “They spend no money on advertising, and are perhaps the humblest organization you’ll ever run across.” The organization was started by Bonnie and Fred Capuccino in 1985, after the couple raised 19 adopted children from war-torn countries. “If you are considering volunteering overseas, this event is an opportunity to meet local people who have volunteered at one or more of Child Haven homes,” said Dale Lawlor, long-time organizer of Child Haven in Qualicum. The first Victoria fundraiser takes place at the Atrium, 800 Yates St. on Oct. 30, 7 p.m. It includes a silent auction.

Trains, dolls, toys, old advertising signs, pocket watches, porcelain and bisque dolls, pretty much everything can be sold at the Roadshow. Any early edition Barbie’s are sought after by the Roadshow collectors, as well as a variety of Dinky Toys and Matchbox cars. Lionel

Trains and a variety of tin toys can also fetch a price, especially if they are in their original box or in mint condition. If a collector is looking for one of your collectibles, they can always make an offer to buy it. A man brought in a 1950’s Marx Tin Toy Robot, in fairly good condition, still in its original box. They were able to locate a collector for that specic toy within minutes, and that gentleman went home with over $700 for his Toy Robot and a few other small toys. So whether you have an old toy car, a broken gold chain, or a Barbie sitting in the closet, bring it down to the Roadshow, they will take a look at it for FREE and it could put money in your pocket!

See you at the roadshow!

Vision Matters Dr. Stephen Taylor

Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

What is 20/20 vision? You may be pleased to hear that you have 20/20 vision and think you have perfect vision. But do you? Not necessarily. 20/20 only indicates how sharp or clear your vision is at a distance. Overall vision also includes peripheral awareness or side vision, eye coordination, depth perception, focussing ability and colour vision. 20/20 is the average visual clarity obtainable by normal healthy eyes. Since it is an average, it means that there are those that see better or worse than 20/20 and yet still have healthy eyes. 20/20 describes normal visual clarity or sharpness measured at a distance of 20 feet from an object. If you have 20/20 vision, you can see clearly at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. If you have 20/100 vision, it means that you must be as close as 20 feet to see what a person with normal vision can see at 100 feet. In the metric system, 6/6 is the equivalent of 20/20. The ability to see objects clearly is affected by many factors. Eye conditions like nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism or eye disease influence visual acuity. Most people with vision slightly below 20/20 function very well, whereas some people who have better than 20/20 feel their vision is not satisfactory. Everybody’s visual expectations are different and satisfactory vision is far more complex than just being able to see 20/20. If you feel your vision is not up to standard a comprehensive eye examination will identify causes that may affect your ability to see well. Optometrists may be able to prescribe glasses, contact lenses or other vision aids that will help improve your vision. If the reduced vision is due to an eye disease, the use of ocular medication or other treatment may be needed. If necessary, a referral to a specialist will be made if an eye disease is found which warrants further investigation.

VICTORIA October 19, 2011 VICTORIA NEWS NEWS -- Wednesday, Wednesday, October 19, 2011

News staff

Seniors over 65, toddlers between six and 23 months of age and caregivers for either can begin lining up to get their free flu vaccine. Also, aboriginal people, those with a chronic health condition or obesity, and others at higher risk of contracting the flu or working in a potential outbreak setting are also eligible for the free shot in the arm. “The vaccine is the most effective way to protect yourself from

flu epidemics that happen every year,” said Dr. Murray Fyfe, medical health officer with Vancouver Island Health Authority. While cold and stomach flu viruses made the rounds in past months, Fyfe points out it’s still early for more serious influenza attacks, which usually affect people between November and January. “It’s best to get vaccinated as soon as you can,” he said. “It takes about two weeks for your system to build up immunity to the flu strains in the vaccine.”

This year’s flu shot includes protection from H1N1 and two other strains of the virus. Fyfe expects a fairly regular flu season this year, given there haven’t been outbreaks of new viruses in other parts of the world. Still, it’s no guarantee. “Flu viruses are very unpredictable and can mutate mid-season,” he said, explaining that is why people who are vaccinated may still get the flu. While some are skeptical about the safety and effectiveness of the

flu shot, Fyfe said the benefits outweigh the risks. “Some people will experience local pain or swelling in the arm the vaccine goes in, for up to a day or two. Compared to a week in bed with a fever that can lead to pneumonia and sometimes more severe symptoms, discomfort from the vaccine is very mild.” VIHA ordered 200,000 doses of the vaccine for the Island. Those eligible for a free shot need to show some form of government ID at the drop-in flu clinics.

Times and locations, as well as eligibility criteria, are listed at www. viha.ca/flu. Others can get the vaccine from their family doctor or at a walk-in clinic. editor@vicnews.com

Sun beds no longer available to teenagers Controversial tanning ban bylaw approved by CRD Erin Cardone News staff

Minors will no longer be able to tan for cosmetic purposes, after the Capital Regional District board approved a ban bylaw Oct. 12. People under the age of 18 can not use tanning beds in the region, except with a doctor’s note or at a bed-equipped medical clinic. The bylaw also imposes regulations to restrict

use of tanning beds for all ages. The bylaw was brought to the CRD board by Vancouver Island Health Authority chief medical health officer Dr. Richard Stanwick, who said young people’s skin and eyes should be protected from exposure to UV rays. The CRD said 90 per cent of written and 68 per cent of voiced feedback was in support of the bylaw. Regional district staff will start enforcing the bylaw after a six-month educational period, to explain the new rules to tanning salon operators and the public. ecardone@vicnews.com

SPORTS Cougars’ point streak alive Coach names leadership group Travis Paterson News staff

Photo by Travis Bower

The Victoria Cougars are all smiles having yet to lose in regulation this year. On Thursday (Oct. 20) the league’s first place Cougars (11-0-1) host the league’s second best Comox Valley Glacier Kings (9-1-1) at Archie Browning Sports Centre, 7:15 p.m. start time.

Down 3-2 and with their ninegame win streak threatened, the Victoria Cougars’ top line of Steve Axford, Sam Rice and Brody Coulter calmly and confidently out-skated the Kerry Park Islanders for three straight shifts near the end of their Oct. 13 matchup. With three minutes and 20 seconds left, Rice passed it from the corner to Axford in front of the net, who gently kicked the puck to his stick and neatly slid it through the legs of Kerry Park goalie Matt Chester. It tied the game late in the third, and even with some impressive heroics, the Cougars ultimately lost 4-3 in overtime, ending a win streak that has the Cougars at 23 points, four ahead of the Comox Valley Glacier Kings, putting them first in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League.

Westshore Rebels back Niles Goguen is tackled by V.I. Raiders opponent Ranji Atwall during Saturday’s B.C. Junior Football League playoff game at Nanaimo’s Caledonia Park. The Rebels were eliminated from the B.C. semifinal in a 49-17 loss. Goguen rushed for 42 yards on eight carries and caught four passes for another 82 yards.

Rebels suffer season-ending playoff loss The Westshore Rebels’ B.C. junior football league season ended on Saturday with a 49-17 loss to the Vancouver Island Raiders in Nanaimo. Rebels lineman Jack Allen said it was a tough loss, despite being the heavy underdog to the undefeated Raiders. “When you put all this time into it, the last 12 weeks of training and effort and everything (came) down to this

moment and when it ends, it’s tough. We dug pretty deep. It was a battle. We were fighting.” The Raiders will play the Langley Rams in the B.C. final on Oct. 22 as the third-place Rams upset the second-place Sun 31-19 in the other semifinal on Sunday. Rebels receiver Vinnie Cannata caught three passes for 160 yards, including a 75 yard touchdown pass from quar-

terback Cat Todorowich in the first quarter. Todorowich scored the Rebels’ second touchdown on a keeper play in the third quarter. In total, Todorowich completed 13 of 32 passes for 311 yards with two interceptions. The Raiders’ defence held talented Rebels running back Greg Morris to just 35 yards on seven carries. sports@vicnews.com

Walk as if your life depends on it! Walk Because Someone’s Life Does

THE LEUKEMIA & LYMPHOMA SOCIETY OF CANADA Light The Night is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada’s annual walk and fundraising event – a night of solidarity and hope. An event in support of people battling cancer and paying tribute to those claimed by it. Every Autumn, friends, families and co-workers gather in cities across North America and walk in twilight, holding illuminated balloons – red for supporters, white for survivors and gold to remember ones lost. Funds raised support vital cancer research and patient services in their communities.

Dragons snuff out inventors

Website honours Alex Campbell Sr.

Victoria business partners encouraged by response after CBC TV show airs

IN BRIEF

The B.C. Cancer Foundation is accepting donations in honour of Thrifty Foods co-founder Alex Campbell Sr., who died Oct. 11 after a long illness. Campbell was a longtime supporter of the foundation, and chaired its 2011 Inspire the World fundraising campaign. He and his wife, Jo, were also generous during the 2009 campaign, during which they contributed $1 million. The Alex & Jo Campbell Patient and Family Support Centre, located at the B.C. Cancer Agency’s Vancouver Island Centre near the Royal Jubilee Hospital, was named in their honour. Donations are welcome at donate. bccancerfoundation.com/ goto/alexcampbell.

Erin McCracken News staff

Despite being sent away empty-handed by five of the wealthiest and most business-savvy Canadians on TV, a Victoria team of business partners is looking on the bright side. Josh Mitchell and his business partner Jeremy Green appeared on CBC’s Dragons’ Den Oct. 5. They asked the panel of dragons for a $25,000 investment in exchange for a 33-per-cent stake in their company, Mayhem Marketing, through which they sell Scufflinks, which are decorative and functional metal pins used to hem pants. Despite the rejection and having their air time on TV reduced to one minute, the national exposure is paying off. As soon as the episode was aired in an earlier time zone, the team began receiving emails from potential customers from as far away as Toronto. “We’re all really happy with how it went,” Scufflinks spokesperson Alex Miller said of the more than 100 purchase orders and 300 to 400 emails they received, as well as the nearly 1,000 hits on their website 24 hours after the show aired. “I mean, it wasn’t like there were a billion orders. We would have loved a billion orders

(but) it was a great start. “We really think it’ll be a slow burn.” In the wake of the show, Mitchell has been asked to speak at a conference on innovation, organized by the Fraser Health Authority, Miller said, adding that Dragons’ Den producers have also asked the team to pitch their product again next year. The response is encouraging, considering the bulk of their taped pitch ended up on the cutting-room floor. When asked by dragon Arlene Dickinson about the business name, Mayhem Marketing, Mitchell said: “Because we ‘may hem’ your jeans.” “That’s funny,” Dickinson said.
