Urban poaching maims deer in Saanich Animal found wandering with crossbow bolt in head Kyle Slavin News staff
The discovery of two deer suffering from arrow-related injuries has police concerned a poacher is firing a high-powered crossbow in urban Saanich. A resident found the first animal dead in their yard in the 2400-block of Alpine Cres. near Ten Mile Point last Friday (Jan.

18). When Saanich pound officers attended, they found the deer had entry and exit arrow wounds in its lower abdomen. “That wouldn’t have been an immediate kill. It probably ran off and suffered a slow and painful death,” said Peter Pauwels, a conservation officer with the provincial Conservation Officer Service. Conservation officers located the second deer in Ten Mile Point on Tuesday morning, alive and walking around with a crossbow bolt sticking out of its head. Saanich police Sgt. Steve Eassie says area residents reported to police multiple times in the last few weeks that a deer was walking around with an arrow in its head.

Police and the conservation officers were unable to locate that animal until Tuesday morning. The deer was ultimately contained and killed by conservation officers. “Any time there’s an incident of urban poaching, it’s obviously very much a concern,” Eassie said. “It does pose a real large threat to the public.” Saanich police have dealt with a rash of deer poaching incidents in recent years. There were nine known instances in the fall of 2010, four in the fall of 2011 and at least two last year. In these incidents, people found animals with arrow wounds or with heads and limbs cut off, as well as reports of seeing living
Victoria’s Referred Realtors
deer walking around with arrows sticking out of their bodies. Of concern to police is the heightened risk to public safety. With the deer found dead on Jan. 18, the arrow was shot with enough force to fly straight through the large animal. “It is entirely possible that there is an arrow or a bolt out there. It could be in someone’s yard. It is very concerning for us because that (arrow) could’ve injured someone in the neighbourhood where this was fired,” Eassie said.

The two animals have been turned over to the conservation service for investigation. “We’ve looked at the animals and determined the cause of death, which was pretty obvious. But there’s not a whole lot we can do at this point,” Pauwels said. “In this type of situation we’re really dependent on tips from the public.” Pauwels says it’s likely, given the manner of death and where the animals were found, the same person or people are responsible for both deer shootings. While police acknowledge that the poacher or poachers are likely firing arrows inconspicuously at night, they are asking the public to be on the lookout for anyone suspicious in their neighbourhood. Police are also asking anyone with information on these poaching incidents to call 250-475-4321. Tips can also be phoned in to the Conservation Officer Service at 1-877952-7277. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Greater Victoria bus workers OK contract Canadian Auto Workers 333 members have voted 93 per cent in favour of ratifying their new two-year contract with B.C. Transit. The collective agreement, struck last week, ends months of negotiations as well as an overtime ban that began Oct. 22. CAW 333 local president Ben Williams thanked transit users for their patience during job action. “We said from the outset that we had a dispute with B.C. Transit not our valued riders and that we would do everything we could to avoid a full-scale job action,” Williams said. “It’s a good news story now for everyone – bus riders, CAW Local 333 members, Greater Victoria and B.C. Transit as well.” The union’s next goal is to work with B.C Transit and the provincial government to reduce pass-ups, overcrowding and lack of night bus service. The union represents more than 650 bus drivers, mechanics and maintenance workers in the Capital Region.
Pharmacies want expired medications The B.C. Pharmacy Association is asking British Columbians to return unused medication to help protect the marine environment and prevent expired pills from ending up in landfills. More than 90 per cent of B.C. pharmacies participate in the Medications Return Program, which ensures safe disposal of old or expired prescription drugs. The program is in partnership with the Capital Regional District’s environmental sustainability department. Information about returning unused medications to pharmacies can be found at medicationsreturn.ca.
Student earns full ride to Cambridge Keiler Totz is one of two Canadians to earn coveted scholarship Natalie North News staff
A Saanich teenager has proven himself as one of Canada's highest achieving students and has earned a place at the University of Cambridge on a full scholarship. Keiler Totz, a Grade 12 student at St. Michaels University School is one of two high school students in the country selected for a $150,000 Blyth Cambridge Commonwealth Trust Scholarship. He received the news earlier this month after having completed a rigorous application process, which culminated in an intense interview last November in Toronto before a panel of judges, including the head of admissions for the highly regarded U.K. university. By the time he knew he had risen to the top of the 34 students shortlisted nationally, he was sold on the experience abroad. “The more and more I learned about the Cambridge environment, the more I knew it would be the right place,” Keiler said. “I’ve always been really academically driven, studied really hard and trying to get the best grades and learn enough as possible. It looks absolutely amazing.” Keiler hopes to enter the field of engineering, then biomedical engineering, ultimately ending with a career as a research scientist, although still 17, his plans could change.
St. Michaels University School Grade 12 student Keiler Totz is one of two Canadians this year to earn a $150,000 scholarship to the University of Cambridge in the U.K. Don Denton/News staff
“I always thought he’d be getting an athletic scholarship,” remarked Keiler’s mother, Suzanne. “It’s one of the most prestigious (scholarships) there is – almost like a needle in a haystack.” Keiler attributes his love for physics to his teacher, Richard Curry, himself a University of Cambridge alumnus. Curry, also St. Michaels’ rowing coach, has encouraged Keiler to trade in his basketball for a seat in a skull. Keiler hasn’t spent too much time contemplating his academic career, however, instead participating in soccer, regularly volunteering at the Royal Jubliee Hospital and completing 11 advanced placement courses prior to gradu-
ation, including a first-year math course at the University of Victoria. Keiler also spent last summer conducting cancer research on an internship with the B.C. Cancer Agency. He worked on staining tumour tissues. “You’re just thrown in there and expected to work, but once you get the grasp of the lab, it’s an amazing feeling,” Keiler said. Keiler’s father Karlheinz has watched his son excel academically throughout life – including picking up Mandarin while the family lived in Singapore – and doesn’t describe the scholarship as much of a surprise. “There were two in all of Canada chosen for his age, so that shows
that the child is quite bright,” he said. Keiler was featured in the News in 2011 when he attended Deep River Science Academy at the Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories in Ontario. As the only student from Greater Victoria admitted at the time, he worked on a remote control vehicle to measure ambient radiation levels and record internal visual conditions inside buildings slated to be decommissioned. He hopes to return to the academy this summer as a tutor, a role his mom once held during her first year of university. “He’s absolutely in heaven right now,” Suzanne said. nnorth@saanichnews.com
Police seek suspects behind crashed stolen car A number of residents in the 2700-block of Foul Bay Rd. were awoken early Saturday morning by the sound of a car crashing through a hedge and coming to a stop against a tree. Saanich police were called to the scene, but all occupants inside
the 2000 Ford Focus had fled by the time police arrived. Witnesses reported seeing anywhere between two and five individuals, believed to be youths, running from the scene. Sgt. Steve Eassie says it’s still unknown what caused the vehicle
to veer out of control, but investigators are looking into it. He says they’re also examining the vehicle to recover any forensic information about the occupants. Officers quickly learned the vehicle had been stolen from a home in the 1900-block of Haultain St.,
two blocks away, just prior to the crash. Police are asking anyone with information about this incident to call Saanich police at 250-475-4321 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Rail to move full steam ahead with regional cash Daniel Palmer News staff
The return of rail to Vancouver Island is inching closer to reality. As Capital Regional District directors finalize their 2013 budget, the biggest piece of new spending is intended to get passenger rail service back up and running between Victoria and Courtenay. “I really think it’s important we restore rail, not only for intercity transport, but also for commuter rail,” said Victoria Coun. Ben Isitt, who sits on the CRD’s finance committee that recommended the funding boost last fall. The Island Corridor Foundation will receive $1.2 million from the CRD and a total of $5.4 million from the five Island regional districts to make necessary bridge and trestle upgrades, with the hope of restoring VIA Rail service between Victoria, Nanaimo and Courtenay, said ICF director Graham Bruce. Bruce said the trains could originate in Courtenay to allow an early morning run into Victoria. VIA Rail shut down the service in April 2011 after the tracks were deemed unsafe. “We’re right in the middle of the train service agreement right now,” Bruce said. The federal and provincial governments have also promised $15 million for necessary rail tie replacements and track work. “If all goes well, work could probably start sometime in May,” he said. CRD staff are recommending

VIA rail trains haven’t been seen on the E&N line since April 2011, but the Island Corridor Foundation is working on restoring passenger rail service. The Capital Regional District is chipping in $1.2 million to help repair the ailing track. the funding be split into two annual payments of $600,000 to keep 2013 costs contained. The foundation is open to working with all the regional districts on the best funding model, but conversations will continue, to “make sure that works well for us, too,” Bruce said. The CRD’s 2013 preliminary budget calls for a 2.5-per-cent increase in spending this year. That doesn’t include costs associated with the region’s $783-million secondary sewage treatment project, which will be presented separately to the wastewater committee in the
coming weeks. “I think most people around the board table realize there’s not a lot of appetite for new spending, and that overall, we should be looking to provide good, cost-effective government and not (be) embarking in new areas,” Isitt said. Rail is largely considered an appropriate exception because of its importance to economic development and population growth in the region. Passenger rail service is only the first step to a revived rail industry on the Island, Bruce said. “It’s not the end game, it’s the beginning game. If there are demand increases and if we find other opportunities, then we’d operate to suit those as well.” CRD directors have until March 31 to approve the 2013 budget. dpalmer@vicnews.com
CRD 2013 budget CRD staff are recommending a $2-perhousehold increase to boost regional parks funding by about $415,000 this year. Another $150,000 in new spending is being considered to work on a regional deer management strategy. The E&N Trail Humpback section is also slated to get $117,000 for maintenance.

Ever wish you could turn back the clock and experience life as a child once more? Unless the fountain of youth springs up in Centennial Square, Greater Victorians will have to settle with a trip to The Arts Centre at Cedar Hill, where an exhibit of children’s art work showcases young perspectives on urban living. The Child in the City Project was not initially aimed at producing visual art, but when early childhood educators asked four- and five-yearolds for their take on their city, the results were expressed in hundreds of photographs, mapping, clay, painting, drawings, and more interactive projects involving puppets and modelling. Works collected from seven centres across Greater Victoria, as well as three short videos documenting the project, will be on display in the main gallery space at the centre until Feb. 3. “In the end we had this wide variety of materials and having come from children in such a visual way; it seemed like such a natural fit to exhibit that in the gallery,” said project co-ordinator Gillian Petrini. The Child in the City Project – supported by PLAY Victoria, United Way Success By 6, Saanich and the
Community Arts Council of Greater Victoria – had two core objectives: to hear what children have to say about their experience in the city and to inform the community of the findings with the intent of including the voice of children in future planning. “If we’re building child-friendly cities, we’re really building peoplefriendly cities,” Petrini said. “We’re creating planning and policies that support local children and their families.” One of the city’s most notorious architectural items sparked a contribution from Victoria participants, five-year-olds Jaydan and Piers. “Our project began as Piers took a blue piece of corrugated material to create a road,” said the duo’s early childhood educator Tanya Kuhn. “He bent the material to form a road. Jaydan noted that the road reminded him of the Blue Bridge, and the two boys created a city around it. “The children focused more on the people and activities in their city. We saw a sense of community and co-operation, and of course a familiar landmark that was visited often by the children and their family.” In conjunction with the exhibit, families are invited to attend Creative Kids Creating Communities, an opportunity for children to explore what they find most important in their community through activities such as clay building and mapping. The free event is also located at the Arts Centre, 3220 Cedar Hill Rd., on Saturday (Jan. 26) from 10 a.m. until noon. nnorth@saanichnews.com

Connecting kids with the natural environment is the goal of an expanding program at the University of Victoria’s Family Centre. Thanks to a partnership with Island Savings, a financial donation to the Family Centre’s “Being With Nature” will help bring learning and exploration opportunities to children. “If you can get young children connecting with nature, as they become adults they will become the protectors of nature,” said Elizabeth Quong, program director at the Family Centre. “And they don’t need to be outside all the time. We bring nature items inside and let the
kids be creative on their own.” On Wednesday at the bustling Family Centre, located in Student Family Housing, children enjoyed painting rocks, driftwood and pinecones. Kelly Sterk, manager of the Island Savings Tuscany Village branch, sat at a small table with a young family, helping add the artistic finishing touches to a painted piece of driftwood. “Island Savings and our staff believe families are the root of strong communities.

She anticipates the money will go to providing indoor storage for the art supplies, as well as for moveable outdoor amenities like hammocks. The Family Centre has been in existence for more than 15 years, providing support services and resources to families of UVic students to create an greater sense of community.

Victoria PD shuts down regional drug ring Victoria Police Department took down a “Sooke to Sidney” diala-dope operation last week, attributing the success to its newly created crime reduction unit. Officers seized a handgun, $25,000 in cash and about $20,000 worth of crack cocaine and heroin at two residences in the 1400-block of Stadacona Ave. Police will be making an application to seize the residences under the Civil Forfeiture Act. A 34-year-old Victoria man and a 31-yearold Vancouver woman both face charges in the invesitgation, and have been released on a promise to appear in court at a later date. A 28-year-old Victoria woman was also arrested at the time, but her ties to the operation are still under investigation. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Advocates call on owners to tag their pets Arnold Lim News staff
Lesley Solunac found Lovey licking birdseed off her front porch. The lost and skin-and-bones cat, then only two pounds, was parked underneath a bird feeder in front of Solunac’s home in the West Burnside Road area, lapping up whatever birds left behind. Four weeks later, the now four-pound tabby is still there – and very much in need of a permanent home. “We are just suckers I guess, both my husband and I,” Solunac said. “She was just bones. We kept her here instead of the SPCA because it is less stressful. We are (now) feeding her every few hours.” Over the years, Solunac and her husband Alex have taken in four dogs and two cats, all of whom somehow ended up on their front steps, badly in need of food and shelter. Four of them have found their original, or new homes, but the Saanich resident who works with the disabled said there are better ways to help find the owners of animals which end up on Greater Victoria’s streets. All cats, including indoor cats, need to have some kind of identification, on a collar or tagged with a tattoo. “I hope to have our two extra cats in wonderful ‘furever’ homes and I hope to raise awareness of tagging and IDing cats,” she said. “They should be tagged or licensed even if they (live) inside. I didn’t used to think we should, but now we do.” The SPCA and the Capital Regional District animal shelters have websites where people with lost animals can look through a photograph archive of found pets, but Solunac said

tagging is an needed extra step that could potentially help pets stay healthy and reduce the suffering of lost animals. “I don’t want to be a finger wagger, but this is hard,” she said. “When I have been looking for months at these postings of all these people who have lost their cats, it is heartbreaking. If their cats had some kind of collar or identification they would probably be united. “ Putting identification on pets costs money, but it can provide peace of mind, Solunac said. Collars with identities, unique code tattoos and even microchips under the skin are options for pet owners. Pamela Saddler, who runs non-profits Victorialostpets.com for lost animals and Broken Promises Rescue Society for rescue animals, is asking owners to have protection for their pets in place.

“Five per cent of animals are actually tagged, so most are untraceable,” Saddler said. “Inside cats still get out. It (may not) be traceable back to you ever. (An ID tag) is the only way for the animal to get back to its owner.” Saddler said she gets calls and emails every day about people finding lost or injured animals and at least five posts on her websites every day about missing cats. At worst, she says, it is for closure. If a deceased animal is found owners will at least know what has happened and aren’t left in the dark. “It is definitely emotional because it is an ongoing thing,” Saddler said. “It is $100 for life. It is for peace of mind.” See crd.bc.ca/animal/cat_id.htm for information on getting a free cat ID tag.

SAANICH NEWS - Friday, January 25, 2013
Youth with mental disorders face gaps in care Part of VIHA’s solution to acute care is its 24-hour crisis line and integrated mobile crisis response team. The team sees mental health clinicians, social workers, a nurse and plainclothes police officers respond to children and families needing on-site services. But the reality for the Bradleys – they have five other adopted children between the ages of two and 19 – is that they are largely left to fend for themselves. “We called the crisis line,� Kelly said. “All but once, they’ve told us to call 911, because they could hear our daughter in the background.� The couple hopes the province will approve them for respite funding and allow them to hire a part-time care aid beyond the eight hours a week they now receive. But the administrative hoops they jump through for each application and reassessment feels endless.
Families suffer in silence, say parents of 11-year-old with bipolar disorder Daniel Palmer News staff
The parents of a child with a mental health disorder are pleading with the province to recognize a gap in critical care. Owen and Kelly Bradley’s 11-year-old daughter – who they asked not be named – has bipolar disorder, an illness marked by mood swings that sometimes lead to violence. She was nine when she received the diagnosis. On Jan. 2, her behaviour become so erratic that police took her to Victoria General Hospital under the Mental Health Act. She spent four days there in a safe room. “The crisis team can come to your house, but if a person is violent toward herself, they tell you to call 911 and take her to the hospital,� Kelly says, sitting in the living room of their Fernwood home. The Bradleys asked for help, knowing their daughter was in need of serious psychiatric and medical support. Doctors called Jack Ledger House, a 13-bed children’s mental health facility in Saanich that serves all of Vancouver Island. But a weeks-long wait-list meant the Bradleys had to bring their daughter home. Since then, the girl’s behaviour has landed her back in VGH on two other occasions. Doctors had no choice but to discharge her again after they ruled out physical symptoms. “As soon as they get the results back (from brain scans), they discharge her because it’s a mental health issue,� Kelly says. To shed light on this gap in care, the Bradleys created an online petition that calls on B.C. Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid to fund acute crisis beds for children, staffed with dedicated child psychiatrists and specially trained nurses. It’s a tall order, but the couple says too many families are suffering in silence. Since starting the petition, families from all over B.C. have contacted them with similar complaints of a gaping hole in the system. The decision to speak publicly about a child’s struggle with mental health doesn’t come easy. “These families deal with stigma. So do the patients, and the care providers and child psychiatrists,� says Dr. Clare Wood, a child psychiatrist with the Vancouver Island Health Authority. Wood asserts child and adolescent psychiatry and children’s health is under-serviced, a problem she says has worsened over her 15 years of working with Island families. “We don’t have an inpatient acute crisis program. We need one that’s funded and staffed, including child and adolescent psychiatry. The space at Victoria General Hospital is inadequate for this purpose.� Wood’s job is made more difficult by the fact
Daniel Palmer/News staff
Kelly and Owen Bradley stand on the steps of their Fernwood home. The couple has been pleading with the province and Vancouver Island Health Authority to address what they call a gap in mental health care for their 11-year-old daughter. Their online petition at change.org has attracted input from families all across B.C. children’s mental health and psychiatric services are spread between the Ministry of Children and Family Development and the Ministry of Health. The result is a lack of co-ordination and fragmented service delivery, she says. “Overall, it’s very, very frustrating to see what our patients and their families go through.� The umbrella of the Ministry of Children and Family Development covers communitybased care for B.C. residents under 19 with mental health challenges, and provides forensic psychiatric services for youth who have become involved with the law. The ministry also oversees the Maples Adolescent Treatment Centre in Burnaby – which provides psychiatric care for troubled youth. The Ministry of Health retains overall responsibility for acute mental health services on the Island, such as Ledger House, while programs are run by VIHA. The health authority is taking measurable steps to meet increased demand for mental health services, said VIHA spokesperson Sarah Plank, including the recent addition of a full-time mental health clinician on VGH’s pediatrics unit. The hospital also has a crisis co-ordinator and a child psychiatrist, and staff are in the process of expanding the hours of trained crisis nurses in the emergency room, Plank said.

“They only release funding for a three- to six-month period,â€? Owen said. In a report released Jan. 17, B.C. auditor general John Doyle revealed the province spent about $915 million on mental health and addictions last year, around six per cent of its $15-billion budget. Those large numbers don’t mean much to the Bradleys. While their daughter was finally admitted to Ledger House after a 19-day wait, the problem isn’t going away. “You pay it up front now, or society is going to pay for it later,â€? Kelly said. “No family wants to send their child to care ‌ We don’t want people to feel like they’re alone or that they have to hide from the world because their child (has) a mental health issue.â€?

OUR VIEW
Shifting the cost of drunk driving W
hen B.C. launched Canada’s toughest drinking and driving laws in 2010, not everyone embraced the initiative with open arms. A year after police were given powers to suspend a licence for 90 days on the spot and impound the vehicle for 30 days, with little recourse for appeal, a judge ruled the laws went too far and violated the Charter of Rights. Last May, the provincial government eased up on those regulations, slightly, and gave people a better chance to fight what are significant financial penalties for drinking and driving. The Office of the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles is reviewing 1,200 cases of people caught under the immediate roadside prohibition (IRP) system just prior to the laws being thrown out in 2011. But for everyone else, the tough rules are the law of the land (at least until another constitutional challenge) – blow a “fail” and you’ll lose your licence for 90 days, your car for 30, be forced to install an ignition interlock system, take a driver education program, and face fines. All told, the fines and fees add up to about $4,040 at minimum. An IRP appears punitive on the driver, and to a large degree it is. But the crux of the system, besides acting as a deterrent, is that it removes drinking and driving from the criminal justice system. The courts in B.C. had to deal with thousands fewer drinking and driving cases last year. Instead of those criminal cases gumming up an already calcified court system and costing taxpayer money, the financial burden has been downloaded to the accused drunk driver. Being criminally prosecuted for drinking and driving certainly comes with financial penalties, the potential for jail time and a criminal record, but due to the overwhelming caseloads in many jurisdictions, there is always a chance that the case could drag out and eventually be thrown out of court due to a lack of a speedy trial. The IRP process, “immediate” being the key word, provides a summary punishment and puts the onus on the accused drunk driver to appeal the fines and penalties. The pendulum of law, it seems, has distinctly swung to the side of law and order rather than the assumption of innocence, in terms of drinking and driving. Statistics over the past decade show that drivers in B.C. weren’t getting the message. Perhaps they will now. What do you think?

Tender loving garden care Volunteer Mark Salter makes arrangements by phone with an irrigation company to look after the Rainbow Kitchen’s garden, situated beside Esquimalt United Church at Admirals Road and Lyall Street. Volunteers moved the entire garden from the charity kitchen’s former home in Vic West to the Esquimalt site, where it provides herbs and fresh vegetables for meals. A work party gets together once a month to clean and maintain the garden for the new season. Sharon Tiffin/News staff

Lower urban speed limits accrue many benefits Re: Victoria revs up speed limit debate (vicnews.com, Jan. 18) Bravo to Victoria for taking the lead on this important initiative. While there have been many negative comments on lowering speeds, the public doesn’t seem to be aware of the benefits to be had. Rather than increasing congestion, studies done in areas where the speed has been lowered to 30 km/h have shown an increase in the efficiency of traffic flow. More vehicles can get through a given area in the same amount of time. The average individual urban journey takes no more than one minute longer. That is because most of one’s time in an urban setting is spent waiting at intersections. A lower speed has a dramatic effect on fatalities, with the probability of death
dropping from roughly 80 per cent if struck at 50 km/h to in the range of 10 per cent at 30 km/h. There are many other benefits: lower traffic noise, lower pollution, lower vehicle maintenance costs, less stress. And it encourages more people to use the streets for walking and cycling, which in turn means more walk-by traffic for local businesses. It’s a win-win for everyone. Bob Etheridge Saanich
Lack of enforcement weakens speed zone idea The notion of reducing street speed limits to 40 km/h is a feel-good, do-nothing gesture, because there is no policing of dangerous drivers who ignore playground
and school zone signs. Esquimalt already tried that on Craigflower Road, with the result that safe drivers are even more likely to be tailgated by jerks despite the presence of speed monitoring signs. Some drivers are simply careless – and have tunnel vision. They need to be re-educated, which police presence would do. Many, however, deliberately drive over the speed limit, deliberately tailgate, and deliberately pass in congested areas – even speeding faster through playground zones to do that. If challenged they threaten the citizen. The only thing they’ll respect is police in their face repeatedly, preferably taking some off the road. Didn’t the experiment on the Malahat prove that continual police presence
dramatically reduces accident rates? Most drivers do not live on the Malahat, a great proportion of them live in Saanich, Victoria, and other fiefdoms in the Greater Victoria area. They need to be re-educated where they live. More police presence on the street would have general effects of spotting drunk drivers and being able to respond much more quickly to emergencies and reports of dangerous drivers, as police would be near intersections and in neighbourhoods. It would also get more novice drivers on the right track early. Will voters insist that politicians and police do something substantive to protect people by nailing the jerks who endanger good people? Keith Sketchley Saanich
Readers respond: Film tax credits, seniors’ bus fare More to film tax credits than meets the eye Re: Movie business feeling the squeeze (News, Jan. 18) The film industry of B.C. seems to think that becase Ontario and Quebec receive better tax credits, they are losing ground in the struggle to entice production companies to come here to our province for filming. This could very well be true, but let them remember that both Ontario and Quebec have higher provincial taxes than those in B.C. Ontario’s finances are in a
shambles and Premier Dalton McGinty is quitting, and Quebec is no glowing example for the way a province should be run. Perhaps giving out generous tax credits has a lot to do with the financial situation in both provinces. Bob Beckwith Victoria
Bus fare increase will deter travel to town My husband and I usually take the bus downtown three or four times a month to wander around,
have a snack and do a little shopping. However, with the fare increase for seniors we will no longer be doing this. The monthly ticket is of no benefit to the casual traveller. I am sure many seniors will feel the same and cease using the service. As a result, downtown shops will miss this senior spending. We visited Scotland last year where resident seniors can travel by bus to shop locally or anywhere in the country without charge and act like tourists.
Restaurants, shops, hotels any many other types of business countrywide benefit from this economic stimulus.
Could something like this be tried here? Elizabeth White Oak Bay

Victoria presses province to reduce speed limits Daniel Palmer News staff
Victoria wants the province to lower the speed limit on residential streets to 40 kilometres an hour so the City can avoid costly changes at the municipal level. When the idea of lowering the default speed limit was introduced last year by Coun. Shellie Gudgeon, she was told the roughly $200 for each signpost along residential streets would be too big a financial burden for the city. “It was suggested we lobby the province to (lower the limit),” Gudgeon said. The rationale for lowering speed limits is to create a better balance for pedestrians and cyclists, she noted. Esquimalt has created a hodgepodge of 50, 40 and 30 km/h speed zones along
Esquimalt Road in recent years. Will Wieler, Victoria’s engineering manager, said the expense is nothing to balk at. “The speed limit has to be identified every time a new cross street comes in,” he said.
“Depending on whether you need to put in a base, or core into the sidewalk, the cost can go up.” Victoria council unanimously approved the motion and directed city staff to craft a resolution to be put on the 2013 Union
of B.C. Municipalities conference agenda for this September. Gudgeon isn’t convinced the province will embrace the idea, but said the conversation needs to take place. “There are so many solutions
that we as a city could be doing. But it’s a worthwhile discussion. We need to improve transit and the walkability of our city and reducing the speed limit sends a powerful message.” dpalmer@vicnews.com

Library celebrates family literacy Daniel Palmer News staff
All it takes is a little fun to make your child a better reader. Beginning Sunday (Jan. 27), the Greater Victoria Public Library will provide that fun with a week of programs to celebrate Family Literacy Day. “Having fun is just such a key part to building a child’s early literacy skills and for child bonding,” said Tracy Kendrick, children’s librarian. Parents build literacy skills not just by reading and writing with their children, but by playing and even singing with them. “It doesn’t matter if you’re a good singer … just making up funny songs together is such a great enriching thing for young children,” Kendrick said. Programs include button-making for parents and kids, a puppet show by Puppet Booth Productions, and ABC Fun, where the library provides the materials for making your very own alphabet book. For more information, visit gvpl.ca/familyliteracyweek or call or stop by your local library branch.

Food for Families raises a record $274,000 Steven Heywood News staff
It’s hard to say why people responded the way they did over the six weeks of Thrifty Foods’ Food for Families fundraising effort, but Greater Victoria food banks are glad they did. The in-store campaign raised a record $274,000 for 16 B.C. food banks between mid-November and early January. The money is welcome news for food banks as they work to keep up with increasing demand for their
services. Brent Palmer, a director with the Mustard Seed Food Bank in Victoria, says the $87,000 they received as a share of the program was used to buy more food for their hampers. They have close to 7,000 people who come to them each month, in need of food to help make ends meet. “We are thankful for people’s response to campaigns such as this and the donations they make directly,” he said. “They definitely responded to our call. It was a tough year last year.

It’s campaigns such as Food for Families and KOOL 107.3 FM’s Fill the Truck effort, he continued, that help keep the shelves well-stocked when public donations dwindle. “I think (the public responded) due to our efforts of promotion and signage in

Moms just need a little escape… It was a dark and stormy night. Alone with my young children for the evening, I anticipated the challenge of combining nutrientQ SUSAN LUNDY rich food from the FEATURE WRITER fridge into something that each child would consume – likely some cheesy noodle mush, although I personally craved a prawn and avocado sandwich – followed by the toothbrushing, face-washing, you-will-go-pee battle and the re-reading of the Bobbsey Twins (why did I ever introduce the book series of my childhood?) who, apparently, always ate the broccoli provided by the “slim and pretty Mrs. Bobbsey.” Ordering in pizza, I decided, would solve the Årst problem. So there I was, huddled by the woodstove in a baggy, tomato-stained shirt with matching, tomato splattered sweats when the doorbell sounded. I opened the door and took a deep breath hoping to smell Completely Cooked Dinner. But the fuzzy-haired, middle-aged woman standing on the doorstep was not holding pizza boxes. “Pizza?” I started to say before realizing my mistake. Oh no, this wasn’t pizza sales, this was souls’ purchasing. “I really haven’t time for this right now. Let me show you the fastest route to the neighbours – the ones who have loud parties.” “Hush,” the woman said, pushing her
way into the house. She peered at the dusty shelves and cluttered Æoors. (Okay, I’d worked the last couple of days and the house cleaning suffered.) She sniffed slightly and then Åxed me with a pair of bird-like brown eyes. “I am your fairy godmother. You will go directly to the bathroom where you will run a hot bubble bath and climb in.” I eyed her suspiciously. “I’m not in the market for a vacuum cleaner.” She ignored me. “I’ll be in with candles, incense, a bottle of Prosseco, a large piece of cappuccino cheesecake and – ” “A prawn and avocado sandwich?” I asked. Maybe I did need a vacuum cleaner. “Indeed,” she answered. As I lounged in the tub, sipping bubbly and nibbling cheesecake, I strained to overhear the kitchen activity. Apparently, the pizza had been cancelled and my children were happily eating organic brown rice, three vegetables and a tofu casserole. They adamantly refused desert, choosing instead to help each other clean their rooms while the mystery woman vacuumed, scrubbed and folded laundry. I added as much hot water as I could stand and sank into the bubbles. I heard my daughters in the bedroom, gently arguing about story time books. “We can read the Bobbsey Twins tonight,” the younger said generously. “No, no,” said the elder one. “That’s okay. We can read Cat in the Hat.” “Lot’s of time for the Bobbsey Twins

and the Cat in the Hat,” the woman said in a jolly voice. “I’d be happy to read the Dr. Suess book for the 1,431st time.” “Hello momma!” sang each of my daughters as they skipped into the bathroom and spent a good Åve minutes carefully brushing each tooth. They used soap and water to wash their faces, necks and behind their ears, and peed without the tiniest bit of manipulation. I was about to doze off again when I heard whispering and felt a soft breath caress my cheek. I woke with a start to Ånd myself in front the wood stove wearing a tomato-stained shirt. My daughters were planting tiny wake-up kisses on my face. “Pizza’s here,” said one. “Look,” said another. “We set the table with the fancy napkins and made you a special card.” She held up a rainbow drawing. I uncurled from the chair and felt a stab of joy as I looked deep into their precious, innocent eyes. The thought Why did I ever introduce of pizza the book series of my was okay. childhood?

Saanich Family The fight to say goodnight… continued from 15 amount of crying, but what we try to do is make it less stressful for parents and babies. Parents can be a coach throughout the whole process and be in the room with their baby, supporting them, guiding them,” said Sandhu. “Sleep is quite undervalued in society in general. It needs to be the opposite. Sleep is almost as important as any other thing we provide our child with. We spend so much time feeding and nurturing and bonding, but our babies need to learn to sleep well for their development.” Brenda Kovitz, owner of Tumblebums Play Centre and Toy Shop in Langford, launched sleep consultation service Tumblebum Solutions, after gaining online certiÅcation via the Family Sleep Institute. Kovitz now offers sleep seminars through her West Shore business of the Esquimalt Recreation Centre and privately. The pivotal element of Kovitz’ teachings: develop a consistent routine and stick to it. About half of the parents who visit Kovitz allow crying-it-out for a lengthy period of time in the initial establishment of the child’s sleep routine. “I believe in doing what parents are comfortable with and I will support them,” Kovitz said, adding that crying-it-out often lasts over an hour on the Årst night and decreases rapidly after that. For DePape, the transformation took three days. Kovitz speaks openly of her methods, while Sandhu remains more hesitant to discuss crying-it-out, a result of the stigma which remains associated with the method. Its proponents downplay the time a baby spends struggling with self-soothing at the
onset of a program, and opponents cite studies of negative psychological effects caused by leaving a child to cry. “There’s controversy because a lot of what people are quoting is not accurate research,” Kovitz said. “They’ll often talk about children who are left to cry at orphanages, who are also not held at any other time in the day, sort of a 24-hour abandonment. Children who are in a stable, loving home for a short period of time to do the training: totally safe.” DePape had bought books such as The No-Cry Sleep Solution, but her efforts fell Æat. She set her time as Åve minutes of solocrying for Connor before she’d visit Connor with a hug or a little stint in the rocking chair. “Everyone should be loving and attached to their children and I so support that, but when we talk about attachment parenting and say let’s listen to the emotional needs of the child, what’s being ignored is … sometimes our babies are crying because they actually need to go to sleep.” The belief that a person’s Årst year as a parent has to be sleep-deprived is a myth, she added. “If you don’t have a good sleeping baby then you can have a poor sleeping toddler and then a poor sleeping child, which leads into poor sleeping habits throughout life,” Sandhu said. “The new normal is: ‘Night night and see you in the morning,’” DePape said. “He just sort of rolls over, snuggles down and goes to sleep.” And he wakes up 11 or 12 hours later. nnorth@saanichnews.com O
Bringing the Great Land to Life!
How do you find time for yourself, in addition to your role as a mother? Finding time for myself is tricky. Usually I can grab a few hours once the kids are all in bed. Sometimes I will try to get up a bit earlier in the morning for a few minutes of quiet time to enjoy a quick cup of coffee and maybe check emails.
Q A
What are you reading right now? What do you read with your kids? Right now, I am reading the Memoirs of Cleopatra by Margaret George. The kids enjoy a variety of books; we have so many between the three of them! The boys really enjoy search and find books, as well as anything car or truck related. My daughter also loves books, and will read almost anything right now.
What is your family’s favourite activity to share together? Favourite activities include playing at the park, walks, arts and crafts, colouring, gardening, cooking, baking, video games. I would say one of our alltime favourite things to do together is have a picnic dinner at the beach. I think the kids ask to do this every single night in the summer. We are all counting the days until we can do this again.
Q A
What is the part of your day you most look forward to? Different days bring different things to look forward to. On bath nights, I look forward to the end of the day because right after bath time they are all so warm and snuggly and giggly. Other days I look forward to things that break up the routine, like a coffee/play date or an appointment of some sort (like today the boys had their very first dentist appointment that we all looked forward to). I especially look forward to days with no rain, where we can play outside and work in the garden or walk down to the store to pick up something for dinner. O

THE ARTS Urbanite a gallery delight Daniel Palmer News staff
Contemporary art can instill fear in a person – fear of exposing one’s ignorance to a genre so often cited and yet so hard to encapsulate. The chasm between observation and comprehension of these works seems daunting, too wide to venture across with frail curiosity alone. But on Feb. 1, the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria aims to allay this fear as it morphs into an evening cocktail lounge and performance venue and offers a crash course in its latest contemporary exhibition. The gallery’s quarterly social event, Urbanite, was realized seven years ago as a way to attract a more eclectic audience and offer accessible tours in a social environment, said Tanya Muir, educator of public programs. “It was a building process, but the last few years have been a booming success,” she said. Urbanite features live music as well as interdisciplinary performance groups from theatre, dance or film backgrounds to flesh out the themes behind

To compliment the opening of the gallery’s latest exhibition, Traces: Fantasy Worlds and Tales of Truth, Montreal-based studio Mere Phantoms will bring shadows to life as the evening unfolds. Using paper cutouts and handheld lights, Mere Phantoms
draws on shadow puppetry, animation and performance to hypnotize its audience with an organic display. “It’s very playful work,” said Jaimie Robson, who established the collaborative studio in 2009 with Maya Ersan. “There’s something magic that happens when people take the light in their own hand and start moving it.

While the duo has teamed up with musicians in the past, Robson is excited to integrate her work with the three artists curated for Traces by the AGGV’s Nicole Stanbridge. Works by Daniel Barrow, Alison Norlen and Ed Pien push the boundaries of their genre by expanding scale and translating the drawings into three-dimensional space.

Vitamin C and Lysine powder help prevent heart attacks by W. Gifford-Jones M.D. Why is heart attack the number one killer in this country? Ninety-nine percent of doctors say it’s due to atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiologists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack. History shows mankind is not kind to new ideas. In 1847 one maternity patient in six who entered the University Hospital in Vienna left in a coffin. Why? Because esteemed professors ridiculed Dr. Semmelweiss, a colleague, for showing that by simply washing hands after doing an autopsy, deaths were prevented. Years later Dr. Linus Pauling, two-time Noble Prize winner, is ignored for reporting that large amounts of vitamin C and lysine are needed to prevent coronary attacks. Twenty-five years ago Pauling reported that animals make vitamin C and humans do not. That’s why sailors died of scurvy during long sea voyages, but the ship’s cat survived. Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Pauling claimed it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack. Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Wellington University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens’ research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death. Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proved that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries. So what has happened to these monumental findings? Bush, like Semmelweiss, has been ridiculed by cardiologists. One has to ask whether cardiologists, by ignoring his results, are condemning thousands of people to an early coronary heart attack.
doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal, for several reasons. I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking Lipitor. I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications. I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens irrefutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent.
adapt narratives is particularly hypnotizing and haunting, while Norlen compliments her well-known monumental drawings with wire sculptures of her sketched drawings. Pien’s technique includes, among other works, the surgical removal of tiny shavings of paper from a single sheet, revealing a delicate web of design with trenchant detail. At Urbanite, Stanbridge will walk groups through the exhibition and demystify the themes behind each piece. To purchase tickets to Urbanite or find out more about Traces, visit aggv.ca. “We strongly encourage people to buy tickets to Urbanite in advance, because we are starting to develop line-ups outside,” Muir said. “But we never want to turn anyone away from the art gallery.” dpalmer@vicnews.com

But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill.

Most of today’s, cardiologists are impervious to persuasion. They continue to believe that cholesterol-lowering drugs are the be-all-and-end-all to prevent heart attack. They’ve been brain-washed by millions of dollars worth of promotion by pharmaceutical companies. It reminds me of the saying that cautions “It’s not what you don’t know what gets you into trouble, it’s the things you know for sure that ain’t so!” It’s time for cardiologists to have an open mind and stop ignoring this research. As for me – I bet my life on it!

Frail woman fears deportation to India Charla Huber News staff
Cooking is too difficult for Surjit Bhandal, and she is so frail she needs help to stand up. The 83-year-old Saanich resident, whose application for permanent residency here has been denied, suffers from insomnia and her life has become full of fear and anxiety, family members say. “Before she used to wake up at 5 a.m and pray to God, but now she stays in bed until 10 a.m.,” said her nephew Jasminder Bhandal. The woman he has called his mother his entire life worries what might happen if she is forced to return to India, her native country. “Jasminder is my son, I can’t
live alone over in India. There is nowhere I can live. I can’t make my own food. I want to stay with my son,” Surjit said via a translator. Jasminder, who by blood is Surjit’s nephew, hopes she will be able to stay in Canada – the family has appealed the deportation ruling – and continue to live with him and his family. Surjit cared for him and his brother through their childhoods. Early on, Jasminder’s father gave Surjit – his sister – permission to adopt the boy. While the verbal adoption is considered legal in India, Jasminder said, it is not deemed official in Canada, which is the main reason Citizenship and Immigration Canada has ruled to deport her.
Reface your
The family, formerly of Langford and now living in Saanich, has private health insurance for Surjit and plans to cover all her expenses if she is allowed to stay. Jasminder hopes the appeal is granted on compassionate grounds. Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca MP Randall Garrison called on immigration minister Jason Kenney to intervene on compassionate grounds. “The conclusion of this pre-removal hearing will allow her family to seek other remedies,” Garrison said. “The family will now pursue all other legal options to avoid seeing Ms. Bhandal sent to India where she has no family or community support available to her.” charla@goldstreamgazette.com

you have to play in all three zones because this league is full of guys who can score on you.” Before his injury Walker was on a line with Alex Gogolev and Austin Carroll. Due to Gogolev’s recent splurge in points, 12 in his past four games, that spot might be hard to come by. This week Gogolev was named the CHL player of the week. Steven Hodges could have won that award, connecting for eight goals through some magic chemistry with Gogolev.

Ben Walker is on the verge of returning to the Victoria Royals. As of Tuesday the concussed forward’s symptoms had diminshed. If they held off through to today (Jan. 25), then he’ll likely be back with the team for tonight’s and tomorrow’s games versus the Vancouver Giants at Save-OnFoods Memorial Centre. Walker hasn’t played with the Royals since Jan. 2 when he suffered the injury against the Kelowna Rockets. In that time the Royals have turned their fortunes around and are 6-3, chasing down fourth spot in the Western Conference. “The first couple games I was out (in early January) there was a couple of bad losses, so I was a little scared. Then they started winning so I though oh, well, they don’t need me to win. But it’s nice to see them playing really well and hopefully they keep it up.” Even with the Royals current five-game winning streak, no one has climbed closer to Walker’s team leading plusminus of plus-20. The next closest are captain Tyler Stahl and assistant captain Brandon Magee at plus-seven. “It’s always been my num-

If I get scored on it just kills me. I want to get five back.”
Last year Walker ended up a plus-2 despite the team’s struggles. He was the only player to finish with a positive, with some as low as -40. “It’s really every part of the ice I’m in. Since bantam, I had a coach who said defence creates offence. This is a game

Saturday (Jan. 26) is the annual Pink in the Rink fundraiser for breast cancer. It won’t be the first time Brandon Magee wears a pink Royals sweater, having taken part in last year’s event, but it means a lot more to him this time. “My aunt was diagnosed in the summer, and she’s been going through it, so it touches home and you realize how serious it is,” Magee said. “It should be a fun night, hopefully we raise a lot through jersey auctions.” The Giants were last here on Dec. 5 and the results was one-sided, a 7-2 win for the visitors. “They came in and beat us pretty good, so it would be great to redeem ourselves this weekend and make it a seven-game win streak,” Magee said. sports@vicnews.com

Vikes host Canada West swim meet Meet has different meanings for UVic Vikes swimmers Travis Paterson News staff
After six kilometres of lengths, Rachael Newman and Ian Mattock were among the few remaining UVic Vikes still swimming at Saanich Commonwealth Place on Tuesday. Newman and Mattock have already qualified for the CIS swimming championships in Calgary next month. So instead of tapering down this week, they’re training right on through as though the Canada West swimming championships weren’t at Commonwealth Place today (Jan. 25), tomorrow and Sunday. “It’s exciting to have the (Canada West) meet at home, with friends and family here. But I’ll probably be a bit too tired to be on the podium,” Mattock said. Swimmers this weekend will be of two different intentions. “It’s an odd mix in that some of the swimmers will go super fast, some have already qualified will be resting, so to speak,” Mattock said. Some Vikes, such as fifth-year Eleanora Dalling and
fourth-year Allison Wood, still need to qualify for the CIS championships. To help their chances, they tapered down from 3.5kms of laps on Tuesday, to a rest day on Wednesday, then 2.5km on Thursday. Mattock, a fourth-year from Sidney and Newman, a rookie out of Oak Bay, are part of the other group. They’ll compete to their best ability this weekend and use the meet as a barometer, knowing they want to peak for Calgary for the CIS national championships in February. It won’t be the first time this season that Newman swims as hard as she can without worry of hitting any targets. The former Pacific Coast Swimming club member was named the Vikes Athlete of the Month for November for her record-breaking attempt to make the finals in every event of a two-day meet hosted by Simon Fraser University, Nov. 3 and 4. Known as the rookie challenge, the unofficial event is part of the SFU meet, and challenges rookies to swim in every single event, which Newman nearly did. She hit 32 of a possible 34 races, heats, finals and relays. “I didn’t win anything but, I have to admit, it might be because I was a bit worn out,” Newman laughed. Session one begins at Commonwealth today at 5 p.m. The last session begins Sunday at 2 p.m. sports@vicnews.com

Slumping Braves still hope to contend Saanich Braves have one month to right the ship Travis Paterson News staff
As coach Brad Cook seeks the answers to whatever is ailing the Saanich Braves during its recent slump, he can point to a number of facts, but none are excuses, he says. Since the clock turned over on Jan. 1, the Braves (26-11-3) have won twice in eight tries, Tuesday’s 3-2 overtime loss to the Peninsula Panthers included. “Call them excuses, call it what you want, there’s a combination of things,” Cook said. “The injury bug has been out of this world for us this season. Not much was said about it because we found a way to win. Well, it’s caught up to us.” There are other symp-
toms, but it’s mostly injuries. “I think the most telling tale is how many affiliates we’ve used. I figure we’ve used 62 afilliate call-ups right now, with Campbell River having used the next most in the league at 28. “We haven’t had our full lineup for two games backto-back since October.” It’s enough to leave the coach sighing. This is supposed to be his team’s year. It’s loaded with talent, led by a core of 20-year-olds, captain Ty Jones and linemate Josh Gray up front, and VIJHL veteran Tanner McGaw in net. Through the first half of the season the Braves showed its hands to the league, and to the province, winning 22 of its first 28 games. Only the robotichockey-machine that is the Victoria Cougars (currently 36-1-2) held a better winning percentage. Then came the January blues. It’s been a hard fall

General Manager Norm Kelly has worked with Cook to make trades and spent money to do it, all for a shot at the VIJHL title. Last week the team became the third club in the VIJHL to get its own dressing room, with the ribbon cut by Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard on Tuesday. But it hasn’t worked, yet. Despite adding Max Mois and Cole Golka, the top scorers from their respective teams, the Westshore Wolves and Peninsula Panthers, they’ve taken time to gel. Both have fallen off their scoring paces since joining the Braves, though Mois seems to have clicked on the top line with Jones and Gray. Then there’s been the defence by committee. Andrew White moved from forward to D before being traded away. Versatile forward Shawn McBride has taken several spins on defence. So has a merry-goround of affiliates.

Weekend meal fills a need at Our Place Society sees gradual increase in usage Brittany Lee News staff
Just over a month into a six-month pilot project at Our Place Society, it’s clear that weekend lunches are filling a need in the community. Thanks to a nearly $50,000 grant from the Victoria Foundation, Our Place began opening on Saturday and Sunday at the beginning of December, providing much-needed
lunches for Victoria’s homeless, poor, and disabled. “People are extremely grateful that we’re open on the weekend for lunches,” said Don Evans, executive director of Our Place. “It’s not addressing all the needs, but it certainly helps.” The weekend program has seen between 200 to 250 people per day take advantage of the service so far. “We expect it will continue to increase as people come to know about it,” Evans said. “Certainly, it’s showing a need for meals in the city.” The society is actively looking for
resources to expand and extend the pilot project, which is set to run until May. “There’s a big gap when we close on weekends,” Evans said. It’s a goal of the society to remain open on weekends and provide other meals in addition to lunch, he said. Recently, a $50,000 donation from the McLean Foundation was made to the weekend lunch program. On weekdays, the society sees about 800 people daily, serving between 1,200 and 1,500 meals. November and December are crucial months for the fundraising that allows the society to meet its annual operating costs
of approximately $3.2 million. Almost half of its revenue comes from donations made during these months, Evans said. While the society is partly funded by the government, it largely relies on donations from the local community. In November, the society saw a decrease in donations of 25 to 30 per cent compared to 2011. “Even though donations slow (during January and February), the need in the community doesn’t,” Evans said. Donations can be made to Our Place Society by visiting ourplacesociety.com or by calling 250-388-7112. editor@vicnews.com
Guide dog puppies need foster homes B.C. Guide Dog Services is looking for volunteers in the Greater Victoria area to help train puppies to aid blind people and children with autism. The role of the “puppy raiser” is to socialize and teach the dog basic skills and obedience. The dog will stay with the volunteer for about a year. “Puppy raisers need to be able to bring the dog pretty much wherever they go, so the role is really best suited for retirees or at-home workers,” said Linda Thornton, puppy manager. The charity provides ongoing training and covers all vet and dog food costs. For more information, please go online to www. bcguidedog.com or call Jan at 250-217-3132. editor@vicnews.com

B.C.’s auditor general should be empowered to review government advertising messages and determine if they are in the public interest or just a boost for the party in power, NDP leader Adrian Dix said Tuesday. The NDP plans to present legislation in February to set rules for government ads such as the
<ŝŶĚĞƌŐĂƌƚĞŶ /ŶĨŽƌŵĂƚŝŽŶ ǀĞŶŝŶŐ͗
current “B.C. Jobs Plan” series that extolls the strength of the provincial economy. Taxpayersponsored ads would not be able to show the premier or other politicians, promote the party or create a “negative impression” of parties or other groups critical of the government. Dix said he didn’t recall a similar ad campaign run by Glen Clark’s NDP government in the late 1990s, but noted such a law
would apply to all governing parties if it is passed. The current ads have a budget of $15 million, which included paid announcements by Premier Christy Clark aired during Global TV’s evening news. Clark and Jobs Minister Pat Bell have defended the commercials as part of an effort to raise awareness of industrial development and skilled trades training opportunities.
