Year in jail for handyman fraud artist Court lauds Saanich police for detecting region-wide scam Edward Hill News staff

A man who committed a string of handyman scams across Greater Victoria will spend another year behind bars. On Thursday in Victoria provincial court, judge Robert Higinbotham sentenced Glen French to 12 months for each of the 10 counts of fraud under $5,000, to be served

concurrently. That's added to his three months in jail already served, due to his bail being revoked when he fled to Ontario. Striking a curious image as a 62-year-old with tattoos crawling around his bald head, French sat quietly through the proceedings. None of the victims attended court. Crown prosecutor Jocelyn Byrne described French, a Sooke resident, as a habitual con artist and liar, who entered into professional looking contracts with his victims for handyman jobs, collected some money up front, and either didn’t complete the work or start the job. In many cases French skip out on work by telling customers his father had died, Byrne

said. In one case, French ran into one of his victims at a hardware store in Victoria after claiming he would be out of town at his father’s funeral. “Every victim who met Mr. French, despite him being covered in tattoos, said he seemed like a very nice guy and people liked him,” Byrne noted. When his customers demanded he finish the work or return the down payment, he often turned viciously aggressive and threatened his victims with lawsuits. The scams took place in 2009 and early 2010 in Saanich, Victoria, Esquimalt and the West Shore. Byrne said that many of the victims

reported their individual conflicts with French to their local police, but were told it amounted to a civil contract dispute. Saanich police suspected a pattern of fraud when it started investigating French in 2009. “In every case people were told it was a civil matter. That’s how he got away with it for so long,” Byrne said. “Thank goodness the Saanich police fraud section ... looked at the bigger picture. In all these cases they proved fraud, and that there was no intent to finish the work.” PLEASE SEE: Similar scams, Page A6

Girls surrender hair for Tour de Rock Reynolds students continue legacy of fundraising Natalie North News staff

Charlie Muth has lost her hair twice and this fall the 14-year-old will lose it once more – but this time for a different reason. When Muth was in kindergarten, she was diagnosed with lymphoblastic lymphoma, a cancer of the lymph nodes that left the child enduring surgery and years of chemotherapy treatments. Like many childhood cancer patients forced to spend more time in a hospital room than a playground, Muth began making summer visits to Camp Goodtimes, a camp for kids with cancer. Nearly 10 years later and cancer-free, Muth continues to return to Goodtimes, where she has a familial bond with the campers. “You look around and see all the little kids who are bald and they just have the biggest smiles on their faces,” she said of the camp, which is supported by Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock. This summer, before entering Grade 10 at Reynolds secondary, Muth mulled over joining the group of students and staff at the school who each year shave their heads to raise cash for pediatric cancer research and the camp. Then, in a moment at the camp dance, she made up her mind. “There was a little bald boy in the corner sitting alone, so me and my friends went and danced with him and the smile it brought to his face – I was sure I was going to shave (my head) then. Seeing a little kid bald and shy really touched me.” In less than a week, Muth had collected nearly $1,000 in donations for the Canadian Cancer Society, and on Thursday, she will be one of more than 100 students and staff at the school to say goodbye to their hair. “For many of the girls, it’s emotional and powerful and there are tears,” said Reynolds teacher Dean Norris-Jones. “But it’s a healthy risk. If you’re a teenaged girl (with a shaved head) you’re not the only one in the building. There are dozens of teenaged girls who shave their heads because they understand the metaphor.” Norris-Jones, a cancer survivor himself, was the first to suggest to principal Alana Charlton that the school join the fundraising campaign. “Every year we get stronger and it seems to become more integral to the

Reynolds students (clockwise from bottom) Cassidy Stadel, Sarah Danks, Melissa Desjarlais-Pilon, Amy Erving, Charlie Muth, Sarah Byrne and Holly Simonson are ready to lose their locks to raise money for Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock.

“For many of the girls, it’s emotional and powerful and there are tears.” – Dean Norris-Jones Reynolds teacher identity of the school,” he said. Reynolds has participated in the event for eight years, with the dollar amount the school hands over to the Canadian Cancer Society rising each year, from $16,000 in the first year to $84,000 in 2011. The bulk of the funds are a result of pledges for head shaving, but every year the almost entirely student-led initiative includes an array of bake sales, car washes and bottle drives in an intense two-week campaign. “As if by magic, all kinds of spontaneous student fundraisers start hap-

pening,” Norris-Jones said. “Students at Reynolds recognize that they have a moral mandate to make the world a better place and the concept of service is a part of being a Reynolds citizen.” Some of those citizens were unaware of Muth’s past, but since hearing her story have been swept into the culture. Seven of her friends have stepped up to shave their heads. “A lot of them didn’t know that I had cancer. So for them to see a perfectly healthy kid in the hallways, then to know that I’ve battled one of the worst diseases, knowing that I’ve been through so much and I’m so tough – they realized how inspiring it was to have gone through that and to be so strong now.” Don't forget to enter the draw for a $500 Thrifty Foods gift card at bclocalnews.com/tour-de-rock. nnorth@saanichnews.com

Saanich loses a long-time leader Former councillor, charismatic farm advocate Bob Gillespie dies at 82 Natalie North News staff

Saanich Coun. Leif Wergeland laughs as he recalls the time his good friend Bob Gillespie filled in for him at the Capital Regional District board table. Gillespie, known widely for his outspoken nature as a Saanich councillor, was a meeting stand-out that day and his passionate statements and body language were then detailed in news coverage of the meeting. Only the actions weren’t attributed to Gillespie, rather accidentally to Wergeland, whose name tag sat before the councillor in his regular seat among CRD directors. Gillespie immediately called out Wergeland for benefitting from his charisma. It was a news gaffe that the two delighted in and it still brings a smile to Wergeland’s face in the week following Gillespie’s death on Sept. 25. “When Bob spoke, he spoke with passion,” Wergeland said. “He had an ability through his personality to work with people of all political stripes and he was respected for that. Even though they didn’t necessarily agree, he was able to work with them. He had his views and some very, very strong opinions at times.” Gillespie lived his entire life in Saanich, serving on council from 1990 until 2008. He died at 82. Wergeland first met Gillespie through their time together on council and continued to meet near weekly ever since. “Over the years we drank a lot of coffee at Tim Hortons and tried to solve some of the world’s problems – talked about family and sports and community involvement,” he said. “What was neat about him was that he was a straight forward uncomplicated person and he’d give his opinion on how how he felt whether he was in the majority or the minority.” Gillespie was known in many capacities, as the owner of Gillespie Electric, an outspoken councillor and an advocate for local food production. He was instrumental in bringing in the wholesale water rate for farmers, believing that there

as no point to protecting farmlands if farmers couldn’t afford to farm them. “He’ll be fondly remembered by the Saanich community,” said Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard. “He had his own brand of politics and policies. He wasn’t afraid to stand by himself sometimes, but he spoke from the heart and always tried to keep a sense of humour.” Saanich South MLA Lana Popham knew Gillespie best for his work within the agricultural community after having first met him during her days as farmer and a commissioner of the Peninsula Agricultural Commission, on which Gillespie was the representative from Saanich council. “We really hit it off because he really wanted to see younger people getting into farming,” Popham said. “He was always very supportive and he inspired me because he never seemed to give up.” Though Gillespie was nonpartisan, he backed the politician based on her commitment to farming, she said. “Even though I’m 43 years

said, will be remembered in many capacities, from his charitable work and determined and sometimes stubborn presence on council, to his history of hijinks as a young boy growing up in Saanich. “There are different parts to Bob, different stages of his life, that the community will always be fond of,” Leonard added. Gillespie is survived by his son Doug, daughter Susan Thackeray, six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. “Bob was just a great guy to have as a friend,” Wergeland said.

old, he would always say, ‘You’re doing a good job, kid,’” Popham said. “He was always at the events that I held and seeing his face in the crowd, seeing him smile and give kind of a reassuring look, it was very sweet and I’m going to miss him a lot.” “Good ol’ Bob,” Leonard

A bleeding, 22-year-old man staggered from the parking lot into Country Grocer in Royal Oak last Wednesday night after being stabbed multiple times. In a dramatic and traumatizing scene, staff and store patrons performed First Aid on the man while paramedics were en route. He was taken to Victoria General Hospital with serious but not life threatening injuries. Saanich police detectives think the young man was stabbed while in the parking lot near the north entrance to the store around 9:15 p.m., near the garden and outdoor department. Police havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t released how many people assaulted the victim or what led to the assault. Saanich police Sgt. Dean Jantzen said the victim is a person familiar to police.

Similar scams seen in Alberta Const. Karen Phillips with the Saanich police financial crime unit said Const. Jerome Rozitis took complaints about French from a number of people, and was the first to notice a possible pattern of fraud. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rozitis felt it was something that needed to be looked at,â&#x20AC;? Phillips said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was surprising, it was quite a number (of victims).â&#x20AC;? Phillips said she worked with the Victoria Better Business Bureau to locate people alleging theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been ripped off by French. Victim statements and evidence was instrumental in establishing the larger, indisputable pattern of wrongdoing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the people did their due diligence and checked references. Sometimes that can fall through the cracks,â&#x20AC;? Phillips said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not their fault. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good that people came forward. This case will help prevent others.â&#x20AC;? French will also have two years of probation, which includes not being allowed to advertise services as a handyman and not being allowed to run a service business.

Four Saanich major crimes detectives and a forensics team are on the case. Greater Victoria Victims Services attended Country Grocer to offer trauma counselling to staff and the numerous customers who witnessed the man being treated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was very traumatic for witnesses and staff,â&#x20AC;? Jantzen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was quite a dramatic scene and a lot of blood.â&#x20AC;?

French had already been convicted of fraud in Edmonton in 2006 and Saskatoon in 1992. The Better Business Bureau in Alberta and Saskatchewan had issued warnings about French regarding his home renovation and snow removal services. The court also heard that Frenchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter and ex-wife had given statements to police regarding his stream of scams and falsehoods, and had requested a no contact order. He is also estranged from his son. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At 62 years of age, through his own fault, this man finds himself alone on the planet. His family has disowned him. He only has himself to blame. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sad situation,â&#x20AC;? said Tom Morino, Frenchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the sadness here is for the victims,â&#x20AC;? Higinbotham retorted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each trusted Mr. French and trusted him with funds in advance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I commend the constable from the Saanich police for putting this together ... if she hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, this (fraud) would certainly be still going on.â&#x20AC;?

The 2010 elite field head toward the finish line. More than 12,000 runners are expected to take part in this weekend’s event. fabulous trying to address all the concerns.” Craib assists marathon officials in the planning process, making sure that disruptions to traffic are kept to a minimum. Helping the marathon run smoothly is chip timing technology provided by Race Headquarters – a Coquitlam-based company which specializes in event timing. They will have seven employees at the event. The company began 28 years ago doing manual timing, with employees writing down bib numbers as runners crossed the finish line. “That has evolved with the technology and now we do chip timing. We’re able to give incredibly exact timing and get results quickly as well,” said owner Andre Yelle. Police and traffic control use the technology to make sure intersections are manned at the appropriate times and buses can get through. There are still “hot spots” where traffic can be an issue. The marathon will affect traffic downtown, in James Bay, Cook Street Village, Beacon Hill Park, Fairfield, Oak Bay and the Uplands. Residents should expect delays, and be prepared to use alternate routes. “It’s always a good crowd,” said Russell. “Everybody is focused on the race or cheering on the folks they came to see. We just make sure they do it safely.” editor@oakbaynews.com

the corner. And while more than 12,000 runners prepare with faithful training regimens, the City of Victoria, District of Oak Bay and marathon officials are preparing behind the scenes. “It’s a great event. It’s very well organized,” said Glen Colwill, president of the GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon Society. “We have runners coming in on the Thanksgiving long weekend – 12,000 to 13,000 folks from Vancouver, Calgary, all the local areas, and in some cases they’re bringing their families with them which also contributes to the welfare of our community. They’re staying in hotels, eating at restaurants – it makes for a brilliant weekend.” The Victoria police department provides 26 officers to help provide traffic control and safety along the marathon route, while the Oak Bay police department provides one member and eight reserves. “It’s a yearly event that happens and we hope people understand that it’s just for a couple of hours,” said Const. Mike Russell with the VicPD. “We usually don’t have too many issues.” The race, which began 33 years ago as the Royal Victoria Marathon, has grown to be one of the premier athletic events in the country. The GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon includes an eightkilometre road race, half-marathon, marathon and Thrifty Foods kids run, a 1.2 km run/walk for children up to age 12. Downtown Victoria Business Association general manager Ken Kelly said the economic impact of the marathon is felt region-wide. “They did an economic impact study two years ago that determined the impact on the city at that time

was $7.1 million, which is a pretty substantial increase from the previous (study) they did in 2001 that estimated the impact at that time to be $1.5 million,” he said. “I know everybody is pumped about having the racers in town,” added Kelly. “It’s always a strong weekend for (retailers). It’s always a bumper time.” Colwill pointed out that many of the marathon sponsors are local companies. “An event like this brings a lot of money into the community and it’s great that we can support those vendors who support us.” The marathon itself spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on shirts alone, said Cathy Noel, general manager of the marathon. “But it’s not about the marathon making money. Everything we make goes back into the event to make it better, to support the volunteers and make sure the participants are getting huge value for what they’re training for and participating in,” she said. The marathon takes over the Victoria Convention Centre for three days to host special events and a speaker series, this year featuring Canadian championship marathon runner Lucy Smith, Canadian Sport Centre Pacific Senior physiologist Trent Stellingwerff, 1500-metre runner Hilary Stellingwerff, two-time Olympic medalist triathlete Simon Whitfield and 2012 bronze medalist, track cyclist Tara Whitten. “It’s a key part of being considered a world-class event,” said Noel. “Having an expo to educate, a speaker series, a place for our sponsors to get their information out and to promote the sport of running, health and wellness.” After a year of planning, race day goes by pretty quickly. The first runners hit the streets near the B.C. Legislature buildings at 6:30 a.m. and the finish line closes at 2 p.m. “Over the years we’ve not had a lot of problems,” said Oak Bay police Sgt. Ian Craib. “Cathy Noel is

OUR VIEW

Finding meaning in information I

t was rather ironic that news of the City of Victoria’s move to limit access to information to a media outlet it found vexatious came during Right to Know Week in Canada. Attendees at a forum on the topic held last week in Victoria had a perfect opportunity to explore why any move to prevent the release of data affecting public funds would have a creeping effect. As was brought up at the discussion, the idea of open government and open data is rather trendy, with everyone from civic councillors to provincial and federal opposition members crowing about its importance in maintaining transparency and public confidence. It’s one thing to have open data to allow the public to keep an eye on their elected officials and civil servants on day-to-day business. But that does not preclude the need for strong Freedom of Information legislation to allow media to get to the bottom of sticky issues that politicians and staffers would rather not release to the public realm. Not having enough resources to handle the flow of FOI requests is not acceptable as a fallback position. If governments were truly more open, there would likely be less of a need for such requests. Look at the province under the B.C. Liberals, for example. In the last decade, the number of FOI requests has grown exponentially. In the City of Victoria’s case, the media outlet being singled out in question has made 49 FOI requests to the city since 2009. Not an unreasonable amount, if a jurisdiction is properly set up to deal with them. That the city feels that is too many indicates media in Victoria that haven’t been filing enough such requests as a way to help ensure public bodies maintain some semblance of transparency. It’s no surprise many media outlets are reluctant to engage in such in-depth investigation, with tight deadlines in place and competition stiff to get stories out quickly. The FOI search process is frequently long and drawn out, and by the time the information is secured, it is essentially stale-dated. Journalists who do pursue the full, more broad truth on an issue of importance to the greater community are doing more public good than most citizens realize. It’s up to journalists and news managers, then, to highlight disregard of transparency to teach the public of its importance. Anything less only contributes to the problem. What do you think?

LETTERS Poultry farm not a good fit for Saanich Re: Poultry farm proposed for Gordon Head (News, Sept. 26). We are very concerned about the proposed chicken farm and processing plant on the Alburg property. The proposed plans seem to indicate structures, fences, density, and set up that will not be a good fit in the neighbourhood. As much as we want to support farming on our Island, it is evident that this property is not really good agriculture land. We are dismayed that it would be considered for a chicken farm of this size. It will look out of place and will bring traffic woes, noise, smells, and possible health issues to the area. The proposed development will be devastating to those properties in the immediate area as well as to nearby neighbourhoods like ours. I think Saanich council should take another look at the previously proposed subdivision plans which would have protected the Garry oaks and provided greenspace for community use. These seem much more acceptable than the current proposal, and in retrospect would have had much less impact on our life and community. The property is actually surrounded by family homes. We have lived in our home for 49 years and our peaceful, pleasant neighbourhood is very important to us. We have concerns about our quality of life, traffic patterns, noise, and so on, as well as the potential for loss of property value. Many of our neighbours have also expressed concerns. Tom and Verna Collett Saanich

Cyclists pay their fair share Re Licensing bicyclists makes sense (Letters, Sept. 19). I agree that safety is the top priority for cyclists and motorists alike. However, the notion of a “bike licence” is motivated by suspicious ideals.

CUPE-BC President

Barry O’Neill

Biking is not only a form of emission-free transportation, but a healthy, enjoyable activity that needs to be encouraged. Regulating and creating fees for cyclists will only hinder all the amazing efforts done thus far to promote sustainable transportation. The fact that cyclists and walkers don’t pay a “penny” for the use of “roadways and sidewalks” isn’t true – it’s called taxes. Ultimately, awareness needs to be raised between cyclists as well as motorists on how to share the road. This may come in the form of offering free bike/motorist safety workshops, as well as creating safe riding courses that can be implemented into school curriculums. David Norwell Victoria

Public wages far above private sector Re: Wages need to match inflation (Our View, Sept. 19) While this endorsement is an admirable idea in light of tough economic times for all citizens, one really needs to consider what is developing globally. In Europe economies are falling like dominoes, the U.S. our largest trading partner is still mired in a deep recession and China is catching its breath. However, B.C. and Canada are not isolated from this contagion. World banks and bond companies are beginning to take a long hard look at all levels of government borrowing and here in B.C., our debt will reach $56.7 billion by March 2013. The interest on this debt will be $2.55 billion. This represents six per cent of the province’s expenditures and will limit the amount used to help pay for health and education. The B.C. government is required by law to balance its budget each year. So what do our municipal leaders debate at their annual meeting? Legalizing a banned substance? As Warren Buffet once said “you only find out who is naked when the tide goes out.”

The public in B.C. can not afford any more burden on the provincial or municipal debt load. A line has to be drawn in the sand and efforts need to be undertaken to arrest this situation before it is taken out of our hands by world events. Appoint a provincial and municipal ombudsman whose role is to expose these excesses and make our leaders and elected politicians accountable. Danny Parker Saanich

Credible climate info out there Re: Science editorial skates on thin ice (Letters, Sept. 19) The letter writer makes some extraordinary claims about a number of climate and climate change related topics. It’s good to see that he is at least on the right track with his acknowledgement that CO2 is a greenhouse gas and that it is causing warming. Luckily for all of your readers there are many accurate, interesting, and useful resources available these days. The IPCC AR4 Physical Science Basis report would be a good place to start and is freely available on the Internet. I encourage others who share similar beliefs to spend a bit of effort to improve their knowledge about the world. It will benefit them (and all of us) since we do have some important and difficult decisions to make together in the near future. Some political leadership on this issue would be nice as well but that’s a topic for other letters. Ed Wiebe Saanich

FALL MERCHANDISE SALE OCTOBER 1-5

Roszan Holmen News staff

The City of Victoria has taken steps to limit the ability of a local magazine from accessing municipal records, an unusual move that is drawing criticism from freedom-of-information experts. On Aug. 7, the city applied to the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for British Columbia to cap the number of requests for information made by three individuals associated with Focus Magazine, and anyone working on their behalf. If granted, the magazine’s team would collectively be limited to one active request at a time, including the time to resolve any appeal. Given the average processing time for requests, magazine publisher David Broadland estimates the move would limit him to three or four requests per year. For its part, the city claims requests for information by Focus are “repetitious,” “systemic” and place an unreasonable burden on the city’s limited resources. It’s an argument media lawyer David Sutherland doesn’t swallow. “Typically what takes significant time is the assessment of the potential for political damage from the information itself,” he said. It’s an issue Canadians ought to care more about, Sutherland added. Freedom of information legislation is a significant part of democracy and the rights of citizens, he said. “We’re going to allow our leaders to lead us, but subject to defined rules that require they be open to scrutiny.” The city’s actions, Sutherland said, essentially represent “a bureaucracy seeking to stop what is an appropriate level of scrutiny on the part of the public, and the public does that through journalists. Every member of the public is being denied access. It is not this particular magazine.” The province’s former Information and Privacy Commissioner, David Flaherty, had a similar reaction. In an email to the News, he said

it is “absolutely outrageous for the City of Victoria to bring a section 43 application (requesting permission to disregard access-to-information requests) against a legitimate news organization that is simply doing its job and thereby acting in the public interest.” It’s also an extremely rare step for the city to take. The B.C. Office of the Privacy Commissioner received about 40 applications of a similar nature by public bodies in the past decade. Of those, 16 cases were decided by an adjudicator. Most of the adjudicated cases were filed by provincial bodies seeking to deny requests for information by past or present employees or clients. None sought to limit information to journalists. In the City of Victoria’s letter of application, corporate administrator Rob Woodland outlined his reasoning. Since 2009, contributors to Focus Magazine have filed 49 requests for information, he wrote. Five requests are currently outstanding. “These requests are part of a systemic and repetitious campaign intended to interfere with and discredit the Johnson Street Bridge Replacement Project,” he wrote, adding that some requests are overly broad in nature. In total, the city has disclosed 2,000 pages of records to Focus. One recent request took city staff 34 hours to compile, city spokesperson Katie Josephson wrote in an email to the News. “It’s important that everyone have timely access to records and information, and currently, requests from the individuals affiliated with this publication are exhausting resources available,” she wrote. Broadland points out, however, that Focus has paid thousands of dollars in fees to acquire some of the city’s records. “Rather than adapting and adding resources, they are trying to stop (requests) from happening,” he said.

The eye is somewhat protected against UV rays by the eyelid, the eyebrow, the orbit, the nose and the cheek. However, if you are outdoors a lot, in very strong sunlight, or near water, snow and ice, you need extra protection. Wear a wide brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen or proper clothing to protect your skin. If you don’t, you may be getting too much UV radiation. If this happens only rarely, it could just mean sore eyes and a painful sunburn lasting a day or two. If you make a habit of not protecting yourself, all year round, you risk developing eye and skin problems when you’re older. Experts estimate more than half of our UV exposure occurs by the age of 18. Children’s eyes are also at risk because the lenses of their eyes block fewer ultraviolet rays. That’s why young children should play in the shade between 11 am and 3 pm, and always wear hats with wide brims to cover their heads and shade their eyes. Of course, other types of sun protection are important too. Don’t forget sunglasses, sunscreen and proper clothing. Even if the day is hazy or cloudy, you can still get a sunburn from UV radiation. Teenagers and adults may wish to discuss appropriate types of sunglasses (prescription or non-prescription) with their optometrist. Parents can inquire about sunglasses for young children.

Replica Hebrew temple set up for public tours

DO YOU WANT TO END POVERTY CLOSE TO HOME? WE DO TOO.

Volunteers in Saanich have erected a scale replica of a 3,000 year old Hebrew Temple to act as a museum of Old Testament stories. Sponsored by the Seventh Day Adventist Church, the travelling Messiah's Mansion Tabernacle is open for tours in a field at Chatterton Way and Quadra Street. Clayton Leinneweber, director of Messiah’s Mansion, from Harrah, Okla., said the event is a visual avenue to explain symbolism and icons of the Old Testament, and the connection of the icons to the life and death of Jesus Christ. The walled sanctuary is about 150 by 75 feet, and the temple is 45 by 15 feet, both roughly the same dimensions, according to the Old Testament, as a wilderness temple built near Mt. Sinai, after the Jewish people followed Moses out of Egypt. “This is the same size as in Moses’ day. The sanctuary is made to scale,” Leinneweber said. “We show people how (the priests) used the services ... the sanctuary is like a big story.” Three Messiah's Mansions are touring North America, and this particular model was built in Abbotsford for use primarily in Canada to avoid cross-border hassles. The stop in Saanich is the third this year for the Canadian operation, and its first time in Greater Victoria. The sanctuary is steeped in biblical symbolism of slaying of lambs, the altar of sacrifice, breaking bread and the light of candles, and more literal objects, such as the Ark of the Covenant and the Ten Commandment tablets. “A lot of it is symbolic. The lamb is a symbol of Jesus, bread represents the body of Christ and bread is a symbol for food. Smoke that rises (from incense) represents the prayers of the saints,” said Leinneweber, who is a school teacher in Oklahoma when he’s not setting up replica Hebrew sanctuaries. “There is a lot of symbolism.” About 30 volunteers from the Seventh Day

Shortage of social housing, daycare spots lingers in region Daniel Palmer News staff

The Victoria Foundation released its annual report card on Tuesday, highlighting a greater need for social housing and daycare in the Capital Region, as well as inflated wait times for children needing surgery. The Vital Signs report provides a sweeping overview of the Capital Region’s economy, environmental health, arts, safety, transportation and seven other indicators. It combines a range of provincial and national statistics with citizen perception to highlight community successes and shortcomings. “There are tremendous drives being made in homelessness (and) there’s an increase in daycare spaces,” said foundation executive director Sandra Richardson. Although 300 more daycare spots were added in Greater Victoria last year, it’s still not nearly enough to meet demand. “With 19,000 children needing daycare and just over 5,000 daycare spaces ... it’s still perceived as not enough,”

Richardson said. Another red flag is the province’s social housing waitlist. The number of people in Greater Victoria in line for subsidized housing increased by 15 per cent in the past year to 1,681. “It’s a reflection of the increase in rent. We still have very high rents for a community with our income level,” said Andrew WynnWilliams, executive director of the Victoria Coalition to End Homelessness. There has been success tackling both homelessness and low-income housing in recent years, he said. Last year, 152 new units were com-

Other indicators include the Canadian Creativity Index, which ranks cities based on technology, talent and tolerance for creative industries. Victoria ranks second, alongside Vancouver, as one of the

A dorm fire at the University of Victoria left one student relocated and $15,000 in damages to a residence and its contents over the weekend. Just before noon on Sunday, the Saanich fire department responded to the call at 1900 Finnerty Rd., Hugh Stephen Hall, where thick black smoke was emanating from a ground floor residence window. A 14-firefighter crew quickly extinguished the blaze. It was contained to the single room and no injuries were reported. Investigators have yet to determine the cause of the fire. nnorth@saanichnews. com

Richardson hopes the report will create public awareness of the need to support non-profit services accessed by the region’s most vulnerable citizens. “If the public is aware of that, it perhaps causes them to be more mindful of places like the food bank and what they can do to give back,” she said. “Not everybody has the same opportunities.” The Capital Region fares better than the average Canadian city in both median family income ($77,000) and unemployment (5.3 per cent).

BCGEU deal drops liquor privatization plan Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. government has reached a tentative agreement with its largest employee group, as the B.C. Government and Service Employ-

ees’ Union has recommended acceptance of a two-year agreement with a four per cent raise. Premier Christy Clark announced the settlement Friday at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, after talks broke down in the spring and

the BCGEU staged a series of strikes at liquor stores and government offices around the province. BCGEU president Darryl Walker said the government dropped its proposal to sell the Liquor Distribution Branch warehouse and delivery

system, which was “huge” for the union and a step towards privatizing government liquor stores as well. “We think this is the spine of the system,” Walker said. “Without this we would perhaps have lost the whole system.”

Clark said the settlement meets the government’s “co-operative gains” bargaining mandate, where savings and efficiencies cover the costs of pay increases, but offered few details. Walker said the 26,000-member union agreed to work with the government to reduce sick days and find new efficiencies in operations that include ministry operations, social workers, and provincial prison and court services. The union dropped its proposal to open more liquor stores on Sundays to increase revenue. Walker said that was to protect members whose distribution jobs were going to be privatized. “Now that (privatization) is gone, we think we can talk to this government and in fact the next government about what it means to build revenues, and if we can find a way to do that by opening stores, then I think it’s winwin,” Walker said. Clark also announced a tentative agreement with resident physicians in B.C. hospitals, also a twoyear deal under cooperative gains. On Wednesday the government and the B.C. Nurses’ Union announced a tentative agreement for 32,000 registered nurses and registered psychiatric nurses. Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid said the agreement includes a “modest” wage increase, with details to be released after members vote on it.

Earlier this year, companies and high-tech government agencies collaborated with Camosun College mechanical engineering students to solve difficult, real-world problems. Here are three of the projects students presented at the Interurban campus in late September.

The problem for any telescope stuck on Earth is the turbulent atmosphere. That’s no different for the region’s workhorse of astronomy, the Plaskett Telescope, now in its 94th year collecting light at the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory in Saanich. A Camosun team developed a small stainless steel device that can tip and tilt an optical lens to correct the distortion of starlight travelling through the air. Using what is called adaptive optics and sophisticated software to read distorted incoming light, the lens twists and turns almost as fast as the atmosphere changes. “Light going through the atmosphere is distorted ... it’s the reason why stars twinkle,” said Foster Anderson, speaking for his engineering team. “We’ve created a star de-twinkler.” The motor controls that rotate the lens are extraordinarily precise, and can nudge its round frame as little as 16 microns.

Remote tsunami sensing In September, scientists and engineers from Neptune Canada, based at the University of Victoria, attempted to install a tsunami early-warning device off the west coast of Vancouver Island. Attaching ultra-sensitive pressure sensors to 25-kilometre long fibre optic cables using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) two kilometres below the surface proved to be tremendously difficult, and only partially successful. A Camosun team updated the engineering to make the pressure sensor wireless and retrievable, for relatively easy placement on the sea floor, and easy repair or replacement if needed. “The concept is to make the system less expensive to deploy,” said Gord Cooney, speaking for his team. “It can take an ROV 30 hours to lay a (fibre optic) cable, and the cable can break.” The team adapted the pressure sensor for an acoustic modem, which sends data to a central hub already linked to the Neptune network. The modem can also trigger the release of the buoyant

Construction projects in Victoria that dig into the ground often face the expensive task of removing dirty and contaminated water. That can involve the expensive option of trucking it away or setting up an onsite decontamination plant. In partnership with Victoria’s Petro Barrier Systems, four Camosun students made an existing water filtration system mobile, about the size of a six by 10 foot trailer. The mobile plant will be tested at the large City Centre project at Colwood Corners, which currently has a much larger system built by Petro Barrier. “If you purify on site, the cost is about one-tenth the cost. It can be hugely expensive trucking it away,” said Anthony Richards, speaking for his team. Richards said you probably wouldn’t want to drink the water filtered through the plant, but it does come out free of hydrocarbons, suspended solids and most other contaminants. “It’s not drinkable, but its clean potable water,” he said. For Colwood Corners, a dry cleaning operation from the 1960s left areas soil saturated with drycleaning fluids, plus hydrocarbons from cars. Petro Barrier owner Iain Muir said water coming out if his decontamination plant underwent daily, then weekly then monthly tests for cleanliness before it was flushed into the sewers. editor@saanichnews.com

Poet Hopeton Anderson has a vision to make Victoria an international arts destination. The proprietor of The Well cafe on Fort Street – which is more arts community space than restaurant, with regular shows and displays – is part of The Well Victoria Society, a group of local artists. The ambitious members come from varying disciplines but share the goal to raise $35,000 in 46 days for their project, entitled Victoria: a Primary Destination for the Arts. “It’s four separate events that will raise the profile of Victoria as a true arts destination,” said Anderson, former poet laureDon Denton/News staff ate of Florida Memorial University in North Hopeton Anderson is the owner of The Well, a cafe, art gallery, Miami. “The core values have remained intact bookstore and performance space on Fort Street. since The Well started in November of 2010, and now we’re forming a society to further promote the contest, which started in 2011. arts and wellness of the city.” “Think Canadian Idol meets a poetry, spoken word and The initiative will broaden Victoria’s festival calendar, singer/songwriter, which will grow even larger with the beginning in 2013. At the heart of the vision is The Well’s eventual goal of going national,” said Shantel Cordeiro, signature event and the already successful Spirit of Canada fundraising coordinator for the campaign. “

The society will also introduce two new festivals, the Nobel Laureate Festival of the Arts, June 30 to July 6, and the Sacred Gospel Musical Festival, Aug. 1 to 4. Finally is an annual Symposium of Health and Wellness, to run Sept. 1 to 6, which would bring practitioners together to speak on wellness “at the forefront of the sustainability movement.” “You look at our festival, the Spirit of Canada, and there is no other national contest like it,” Anderson said. “Nov. 10 is only five weeks away. These funds will help get us the help we need to secure government grants and greater sponsorship for 2013,” said Cordeiro. The communications specialist has experience with major events on the Island, as she worked five years with LifeSport Coaching, the organizer of the Subaru Western Triathlon Series.

Gruff singer goes it alone This October, Jenny Ritter’s long-awaited solo project surfaces, and you’re going to want to be right there with your rod and net for her Victoria performance at the Solstice Cafe. Ritter is a well-known singer songwriter from the westcoast, perhaps best known as co-founder of The Gruff, and the creator and director of East Vancouver indie-rock choir, The Kingsgate Chorus. Her new release Bright Mainland, is a record five months in the making, chronicling the past three years of the writer’s life, in which she moved from Vancouver Island to the mainland, chasing love and opportunity. The music itself, much like Ritter’s feelings about living in the city, is hard to pin down. Threads of acoustic guitar and viola interweave with pedal steel, electric guitars, and steady, heavy drums. There’s a distinct alt-country feel to the album’s aesthetic, while the chord progressions take on an older more traditional folk feel. Overtop of all of this, Ritter’s voice navigates complicated, soaring melodies with surprising simplicity and sweetness. The record is flooded with talent from western Canada’s folk and Indie elite including Adrian Dolan (The Bills/Ruth Moody Band) who is both producer and multi-instrumentalist, while Lucas Goetz (The Deep Dark Woods) rounds out the band with drums and pedal steel. Featured guests include Ryan Boeur (Fish & Bird), Bear Erickson (Ona) and David Newberry. There are also appearances by Ritter’s brainchild, The Kingsgate Chorus. Ritter performs with Newberry at Victoria’s Solstice Cafe, 529 Pandora Ave., on Oct. 4 and

Thai restaurant opens in Caddy Bay Village A taste of Bangkok has come to the village. George Molnar, along with his staff at Thai Lemongrass in Cadboro Bay have been run off their feet, serving up to 90 lunches daily since the eatery opened on Sept. 7. Molnar, restaurant controller, is now hiring more servers to meet the demand. Front-of-house staff will join Molnar’s

“dream team” of professionals, he said, including head chef Kachen and assistant chef, Molnar’s wife Tiu, as well as two other chefs who have been trained at the Mandarin Oriental hotel in Bangkok and have 12 to 18 years experience. “They’re all professionals and they know what they’re doing,” Molnar said. “They know exactly what they’re doing and like doing it. We let them create.”

Two personal favourites of Hungarianborn Molnar reflects the diversity on the menu: the classic pad thai and a Thaistyle lamb dish. “We’ve been very busy and can’t find a seat most nights,” said the restaurateur. “We’ve been greatly accepted.” Thai Lemongrass is open through the week for lunch and dinner. “The area lent itself to a restaurant,

Saanich Braves off to a great start

Rugby Canada selects squad for Americas Championship Local ruggers Connor Braid and Sean White, a pair of Oak Bay High grads, will suit up for Canada at the 2012 IRB Americas Rugby Championship. They’ll be joined by Michael Fuailefau, a St. Michaels University School and current Castaway Wanderers player. All six matches of the international tournament, of which Canada is a last-minute host, will happen at Westhills Stadium in Langford. The facility will be expanded to hold an estimated 2,800 fans. White, a scrum half, Braid, a fly half and Fuailefau, a centre, are the only born and bred Victoria players on the team though the squad features many players with local connections to club teams, such as CW’s prop Hubert Buydens, UVic Vikes fly half Pat Kay and former Velox Valhallians centre Nick Blevins. Canada faces Uruguay on Oct. 12, U.S.A. on Oct. 16 and Argentina on Oct. 20, all starting at 7:30 p.m.

Travis Paterson News staff

It may have been 16 years since the Saanich Braves last won the Island’s junior B title, but there are plenty of championships and players to celebrate this season as the team turns 45. Current owners Ed Geric and Norm Kelly are leading the 45th anniversary celebration for the Braves, which started playing junior hockey in 1967, with a number promotions. “We want to embrace the community and are welcoming Braves alumni back. This team has been around for a long time and a lot of great people have come through here,” Kelly said. The Braves most notable alumnus is Adam Cracknell, who played for the 2010-11 St. Louis Blues and was captain of the Blues’ AHL affiliate Peoria Rivermen last year. Recent pros who came through the Braves in the last decade are Lee Baldwin of the New York Rangers AHL affiliate Connecticut Whale, and Brian Nugent of the NCAA’s Northern Michigan University. Both suited up for the 2009 RBC Cup hosting Victoria Grizzlies. The Crowder brothers Paul and Tim also wore the Braves crest before hockey took them to the NCAA, ECHL, AHL and Europe. Both played under former Braves coach Dick Crowder, their dad. “We’ve always got a guy moving up to to junior A or the WHL,” Kelly said. “And we’re off to a great start this season. The stands are full and I don’t know if that’s because we’re winning, but we’ve got a great team right now.” It can’t hurt that the first 45 fans at last Friday’s game, an 8-0 win over the Kerry

Artist Lucas Bell, left, designed the Saanich Braves’ 45th anniversary logo, which was unveiled on Friday (Sept. 28) prior to the Braves 8-0 win over the Kerry Park Islanders at Pearkes Arena. Park Islanders, were treated to a coupon for a free Subway sandwich. It was the Braves third win in three nights, with a 5-2 win over the Westshore Wolves on Wednesday and 5-2 win over the Nanaimo Buccaneers on Thursday. “Friday was a great showing, the score aside, no matter who we were playing we were responsible and competed really hard,” Braves head coach Brad Cook said. “This year the maturity is showing for us. Last year we lost eight one-goal games, but we got the core group back who learned how to win those close games and so far we’ve been able to grind them out,” Cook said. The Braves’ season continues on

Friday when members of the Canadian national rugby team are on hand to drop the puck, 6:30 p.m. at Pearkes arena versus the Buccaneers.

Braves history The Braves are steeped in the legacy of the league. From 1978 to 1996, the Braves won six Brent Patterson Memorial trophies as the top team in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League. The trophy, however, wasn’t renamed in Patterson’s honour until later. A former Braves player, Patterson was the VIJHL MVP in 1977. He died shortly after leaving a game at the 1977 Cylone Taylor Cup in Quesnel from heart complications. sports@vicnews.com

Royals host Tigers, take split with Blazers Travis Paterson News staff

Here comes Hunter. Leading NHL-prospect Hunter Shinkaruk visits Victoria tonight (Oct. 3) as the Royals host the Medicine Hat Tigers. Shinkaruk, 17, is riding high as the WHL player of the week. He’s a potential first-rounder for the 2013 NHL Entry Draft and this might be the last chance Royals fans get to see him on the Tigers’ only visit of the season. Shinkaruk is coming off a six-point weekend, with a goal and five assists in the Tigers 5-4 win over the Red Deer Rebels 5-4 on Friday and 5-1 win over the Regina Pats on Saturday. Meanwhile, the Royals have recovered from Sunday’s 3-0 shutout at the hands of the Kamloops Blazers and are looking to improve on their 3-1 record, second only in the B.C. Division to Kamloops (3-0-1). Cole Chevaldave earned the Blazers shutout, making 22 saves against an anemic Royals’ attack. It was a decidedly better effort from the Blazers, who were stunned by the Royals 4-3 in a shootout on Friday night. “We got exactly what we expected Sunday. We knew they were going to have a push, they didn’t surprise us, we just didn’t execute the way we wanted to,” coach Dave Lowry said. “We had one of the top teams of the coutnry come in here, and I thought we played well in the first period. But we got

into penalty trouble and it took too many guys out of the game.” Royals goalie Jared Rathjen stopped 36 of 39 shots on Sunday, his first start of the season. Sixteen-year-olds Jack Walker and Brandon Fushimi made their debuts for the Royals, playing both games against Kamloops. Fushimi, of Thornton, Colo., scored an assist in Friday’s game on Brett Cote’s powerplay goal. Logan Nelson and Alex Gogolev also scored on Friday, with Nelson scoring the only goal for both teams in the shootout. Game time versus the Tigers (3-1) is 7:05 p.m. tonight at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre.

Grizzlies slowed by Express, Clippers Third period dry spells cost the Victoria Grizzlies a pair of wins on the weekend. Last Friday saw the Grizzlies lose 4-2 to the Nanaimo Clippers, in Nanaimo. Blake Thompson and Leo Fitzgerald scored for the Grizz. The game entered the third period tied 2-2, but the Grizzlies couldn’t match the Clippers, as the latter potted two more goals for the win. On Saturday, the Grizzlies returned home against the Coquitlam Express. Dante Hahn and Justin Polischuk each scored for the Grizz, but once again the third period started tied 2-2. The Express won when Callum Hofford scored a powerplay goal. Next is the Salmon Arm Silverbacks, Friday night (Oct. 5) at Bear Mountain Arena, 7:15 p.m. sports@vicnews.com

Friday night rugby at UVic James Bay and the UVic Vikes renew their CDI Premier League men’s rugby rivalry under the lights of Centennial Stadium on Friday night. Kick off is 6:30 p.m. The Vikes defeated the UBC Thunderbirds 52-28 in the first of the two-game Wightman Boot series, played at Wallace Field on Saturday. James Bay and the Vancouver Rowing Club renewed their annual Cox Cup shield match with the Bays winning convincingly, 64-7.

RAP right for Friday night football The Mount Douglas Rams bounced St. Thomas More Collegiate 41-26 in the first game of the AAA senior varsity high school football season at Royal Athletic Park on Friday. Running backs Mason Swift and Julian Luis led the scoring for the Rams with two touchdowns each. Receiver Brian Dowds caught a long 50-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Ashton MacKinnon, and Callum Duke was perfect hitting two field goals, 21 and 34 yards, and making all five TD conversions. Defensively, the Rams forced four interceptions, who of them to Luis. Earlier on Friday the junior Rams lost to St. Thomas More 21-7. This Friday (Oct. 5) Rams football returns to RAP against Vancouver College. Juniors start at 2:30 p.m., seniors at 5 p.m.

Belmont Bullogs hammer Hamber The Belmont Bulldogs hammered Eric Hamber 49-6 in the Bulldogs’ first regular season, AA senior varsity football game at Belmont on Friday. Next up for the Bulldogs is an exhibition match versus Ballenas at Belmont secondary. Kick offs are 3 p.m. for the juniors, 5 p.m. for the senior varsity squads.

Rebels drop to Rams The Westshore Rebels (6-2) six-game win streak came to an end with a 41-7 loss to the Langley Rams (6-1-1) at Westhills Stadium on Sunday. Running back Greg Morris continued his excellent season with 124 yards rushed and scored one touchdown, the Rebels’ only scoring play in the game. The third-place Rebels’ winning season is still in tact, and the team is playoff bound with four a win advantage over fourth-place Okanagan Sun. On Saturday the Rebels visit the Kamloops Broncos (2-6).

Breakfast raises $402,000 for scholarships The UVic Vikes Championship Breakfast rode the Olympic success of the school’s athletes and raised $402,000 toward athletic scholarships. The Sept. 25 breakfast raised far beyond the initial $150,000 mark, which is matched by the university itself. Patrons dined with several Olympians who are current or ex-Vikes, including silver medal winning rower Gabe Bergen and bronze medal winning openwater swimmer Richard Weinberger. Swimming Canada CEO and national team coach Pierre Lafontaine was this year’s keynote speaker. Support from the event goes

to athletic financial awards, a strong determinant for prospective student-athletes in choosing their post-secondary institutions, said Clint Hamilton, UVic’s director of athletics and recreation.

Golf Woodland third The UVic Vikes women’s golf team wrapped up the Sept. 23 to 25 Grand Canyon Women’s Fall Invitational in Arizona with a seventh place team finish. The Vikes’ reigning NAIA champion Megan Woodland played her final 18 at 1-under-par, carding a 71 for third overall. Hosted at the Wigwam Golf Course, the Vikes shot a team score of 620, two rounds of 310.

Next up for the Vikes women is the St. Martin’s Invitational Oct. 4 to 6 in Olympia, Wash.

Beware the mad-hatter For the third time this season and in just six games played, UVic Vikes striker Emma Greig scored a hat trick. Greig paced the Vikes soccer team (6-0-1) to an 11-0 win over the Winnipeg Wesmen on Saturday. Lindsay Hoetzel, Jacqueline Harrison, Jaclyn Sawicki and Sarah Douglas each had two. The Vikes won again on Sunday, 5-1 over the Manitoba Bisons. Sawicki and Nathalie Scharf each scored once, Douglas twice, and the Bisons scored an own-goal. sports@vicnews.com
