New signal installed on commuter artery Safer road crossing with light at Vernon Avenue and Ravine Kyle Slavin News staff
Call it premature or forward-thinking. The new traffic light at the corner of Vernon Avenue and Ravine Way may fall into both categories. But Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard says the new light, part of an infrastructure upgrade requirement that stemmed from an expected need to manage traffic in and out of Uptown, will hopefully tackle an entirely different problematic issue. “The optimist in me says hopefully this will reduce the jaywalking and jayscootering (across Vernon),” Leonard says. “I cringe though. No matter how much money we spend on roads, sidewalks, traffic lights, some still choose to play daredevil.” Saanich police Sgt. Scott Treble says he sees a lot of jaywalkers running across the four-lane northbound road, which becomes the Pat Bay Highway, to and from Saanich Plaza. While the Galloping Goose Regional Trail provides pedestrians with a path underneath the road, he says that hasn’t been enough to thwart jaywalking. “There’s a long stretch of Vernon there that starts at the lights at Saanich Road and carries on past the municipal hall without any crosswalks,” he said. “Pedestrian safety is really important and we encourage people to cross our roads in the safest location they can.” PLEASE SEE: Future Uptown traffic, Page A4

Prepping for a new bridge John Finlayson from Bartlett Tree Experts cuts a tree on the corner of Gorge Road on Thursday to make way for the new Craigflower Bridge and an upgrade to Admirals Road. The first phase of the bridge replacement involves building a temporary pedestrian bridge across the Gorge Waterway in April.
Triathon building at Elk Lake takes shape Kyle Slavin News staff
The end of an era at a Saanich summer hotspot came and went last August, with the closure of Elk Lake Restaurant and Water Sport Rental. The shell of the restaurant, all that remains on the property at 5400 Pat Bay Hwy., could soon be gone too, as the new owners look to build a two-storey office building. Saanich council was expected to hear
from the landowners Monday as they sought approval of a development permit for their west coast contemporary, wedge-shaped building. Half of the proposed building, which would have a total of 275 square metres of floor space, would be occupied by LifeSport Coaching. Lance Watson and Paul Regensburg, of the Subaru Western triathlon series and LifeSport Coaching, have had their eye on the area as a possible location for administration space

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF
Workers stunned as Best Buy closes Charla Huber News staff
UVic makes progress with union contracts Members of CUPE 4163 have voted 96 per cent in favour of ratifying a new collective agreement with the University of Victoria. The two-year agreement provides a “modest” wage increase of two per cent in 2012 and 1.38 per cent in 2013. It is the fourth union at UVic to ratify a contract in the last two months. A fifth group, the UVic Faculty Association, was unable to reach an agreement by a mid-January deadline. As a result, the association’s old framework agreement was automatically renewed, and outstanding monetary matters will go to arbitration.
Hard fall for Harley motorycycle rider A single-vehicle crash in Gordon Head on Friday left a 42-year-old Victoria man with a broken arm and broken ribs. Just before 4 p.m. on Feb. 1, the man was ejected from his new 2013 Harley Davidson motorcycle when his foot peg made contact with an asphalt curb while navigating a curve in the road in the 1900-block of Grandview Dr. Alcohol and speeding were not a factor. The rider was not charged.
Residents needed for Saanich committees Saanich is looking for a few good men and women to help shape the municipality. One year appointments to a number of advisory committees are up for grabs, allowing residents to deal with a wide range of municipal issues. Residents interested in sitting on such committees as Healthy Saanich, arts, culture and heritage, and parks and recreation are asked to call municipal hall at 250-4751775 or visit saanich.ca. A list of committees can also be found online. The deadline to apply is 4:30 p.m. on Feb. 19.
Standing in the rain holding a severance package in an envelope, Lyle Sayers heads to his car in disbelief. The Langford father of three is left without a job after the Best Buy at Westshore Town Centre shut its doors last Thursday. He was the multi-media senior staffer at the West Shore location, one of three stores on the Island that abruptly shut its doors. The locations at Uptown Centre in Saanich and Nanaimo were also closed. “I didn’t even get a phone call, I was supposed to work from 2 to 10 p.m.,” said Sayers. “It’s really sad, I have a mortgage, but it’s the benefits that are really freaking me out. It’s a bit of a panic.” A handful of employees stood outside the store where the doors were monitored by two security guards. A Best Buy human resource worker was inside handing out severance packages and a counsellor was inside if anyone needed to talk about the situation. Roberta Ferguson, general manager of Uptown, said the Best Buy closure came as a shock to her. The Uptown Best Buy, some 38,000 square feet, opened in August 2010, and was one of the anchor tenants announced as part of the old Town & Country Shopping Centre’s major revitalization. “Obviously both Uptown and the tenant were all very excited when we made our plans to open all of those anchor tenants, with the plan that the relationship would have a long tenancy,” Ferguson said. “But things change in the business world.” Ferguson would not give details on Best Buy’s lease of the space atop Uptown, or what financial

Uptown Best Buy employees arrived for work Thursday to find out the store had been shut down and they were out of a job. Fifteen Best Buy and Future Store shops closed across the country. impact that vacancy might have on the shopping centre. “We’re still doing our assessments and then we’ll formulate our go-forward plans,” Ferguson said. “We’ll be looking at that tenancy and how it affects us.” Bruce Copp stood out front of the Langford location with a few former co-workers talking about their disappointments and how they heard the news. That Best Buy employed between 80 and 90 people, Copp said. “This is kind of crappy from a corporate standpoint,” said the
father of two who has worked at the store for more than two years. Copp ran the Geek Squad at the store and is hoping he’ll be able to find work in the same field somewhere else. “I found this out from social media, it would have been nice to have some notice,” Copp said. As the news began to sink in for the newly unemployed, the group slowly began to disband with, “Nice working with you.” Nationwide eight Future Shop and seven Best Buys stores closed on Jan. 31. Over the next three
years the company will be launching Future Shop small-concept web stores and new Best Buy Mobile locations across Canada, according to a release from Best Buy. The release calls the closures a “real estate optimization plan” as part of a “long-term transformational strategy to optimize the company’s retail footprint across the country.” Best Buy declined to comment on the closure and the decision to keep employees in the dark. – with files from Kyle Slavin kslavin@saanichnews.com
Teen trained in First Aid saves man’s life Kyle Slavin News staff
A 17-year-old lifeguard from Panorama Recreation Centre used his on-the-job skills off the job to help save a man who was walking along Cordova Bay Road. Saanich police and fire crews were called to the 5000-block of Cordova Bay Rd. around 2:35
p.m. Jan. 30 after an elderly man collapsed, and was found to be not breathing and his heart had stopped. Thomas Ottewell, 17, a trained first aid attendant, happened to be in the area and rushed to the assistance of the elderly man. “He kind of took charge of the situation and initiated CPR,” said Saanich police Staff Sgt. Rob Piercy.
He also instructed the man’s wife to administer air to her husband. Once rescue crews arrived, an automated external defibrillator (AED) was used, which successfully revived him. He was taken to Royal Jubilee Hospital in stable condition. “It’s this young man taking some immediate action and initiating CPR and continuing it that made

Future Uptown traffic drove new light Continued from Page A1

Sharon Tiffin/News staff
250-477-9495
The traffic light and crosswalk have been installed, but the light isn’t expected to be operational until mid-February. Ryan Spillett, operations manager for the Ministry of Transportation in the south Island service area, says the real reason the light is being installed is to safely control movements in and out of Uptown in the future, once there’s an exit onto Ravine from Uptown.
“When (Uptown’s) development application was reviewed there was a traffic impact study done. Due to the (anticipated) increase in traffic at that intersection, the recommendation was to install a traffic light,” he said. “We want it to be constructed in advance of the (construction of the) undeveloped phase, not to create a traffic issue first and respond late.” The entire cost of the project was covered by Uptown. In recent weeks Saanich also
installed a new traffic signal at Ravine and Carey Road. Leonard says even if the Ravine/Vernon light reduces jaywalking, he still wants to see improvements to pedestrian access between Uptown and Saanich Plaza. “If we want to be truly visionary into the future, I think an underground connection (between the two shopping centres) would be more appropriate in the long-term,” Leonard said. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Ancient human remains found during roadwork in James Bay Daniel Palmer News staff
Human remains discovered along Dallas Road during construction last week near Ogden Point will be reburied by First Nations leaders. Officials from the City of Victoria, Esquimalt First Nation, Songhees Nation and provincial archeologists met on Thursday after construction crews uncovered ancient human remains near Montreal Street and Dallas Road. "We won't know (the extent of the burial site) until we open up the ground," said Ron Sam, a Songhees Nation councillor who oversees archeological issues. Crews found the bones about 80 centimetres below the surface. A similar discovery was made in the same area in 2009. Excavation will take place in conjunction with the B.C. Archeology branch, and the remains will be reburied next to a nearby plaque on Dallas Road commemorating the earlier discovery. Sam said the area has long been known as a rich archeological site, and he is confident the remains
will be dealt with in a respectful manner. "I have to give kudos to Mayor (Dean) Fortin and the City, they are one of the best municipalities to work with in these situations," Sam said. Under provincial law, the City of Victoria is responsible for archeological costs. Work at the site is expected to resume once the human remains are relocated. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Watson and Regensburg plan to sublet half of the building, ideally to a like-minded tenant. “We’ve always had a strong sense of connection with Elk Lake – all the Olympians we train there, we personally go running on that lake three to four times a week, swim on the lake in the summer. For us it feels like home,” Watson said. “Emotionally and practically, we wanted to be there. We’re going to look for a tenant who appreciations that atmosphere.” Saanich engineers are recom-
mending the current access from the property onto the southbound lanes of the Pat Bay Highway be blocked off, making Hamsterly Road the sole access out of the site. The Ministry of Transportation and Highways is also recommending decommissioning this access. If approved by council, the site will have 11 parking spots and 26 stalls for bicycles. Watson says a lot of the existing asphalt site will be torn up to make way for trees and greenery. The council meeting occurred after the News’ deadline. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Pennies prove their power for Greater Victoria charities Laura Lavin News staff
Black Press’ Pennies for Presents fundraiser gathered a total of $5,688 this year. Now in its 16th year, the campaign, through donations from the Greater Victoria community, is able to make significant contributions to two charities. “Teen gifts are always high in demand and low on donations. This money will help us offset the cost put out to purchase gifts and gift cards for this age group,” said Pat Humble, community ministries director for the Salvation Army. “Please know that all effort put into this program has made a difference in peoples lives, both contributors and recipients.” Along with the Salvation Army, this year’s Pennies for Presents recipients included the Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island. “Pennies for Presents campaign is proof that every donation, no matter how small, makes a difference,”
said Ron Hewitt, president of the Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island. “We are grateful to Black Press for donating this year’s coins to Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island and the Salvation Army. We will use this generous gift to improve the health of children and youth on Vancouver Island.” The Pennies for Presents initiative has collected more than $530,000 for local charities since its inception. “The amount of families that come to us for assistance increased this year so every donation counts,” Humble noted. “We were able to meet the need and assist those who came to us only because of the generosity of the community and programs such as Pennies for Presents, so on behalf of the Salvation Army and those we serve, thank you.” Our thanks to everyone who chipped in by donating their loose change for local people in need, and the local businesses that helped us collect coins. editor@oakbaynews.com

Cadboro Bay merchants support Victory Swim A dip in the ocean for some keeps food on the table for others. A fundraiser featuring a chilly ocean swim into Gyro beach is raising money for the Mustard Seed food bank where participants of the Victory Ocean Swim plunge into frigid
waters for a good cause. “It is a great idea, an interesting idea that is outside of the box and gets people involved and makes (us) feel like (we) are doing something,” said Sarah Ross of Pepper’s Foods. “It takes place a stone’s throw from our
doorstep. We always try to support as many local events as possible.” The bookkeeper from the local grocery is happy to be affiliated with the Victory Swim and says it sparks interest in community and is important work for residents and businesses.

“You can never have enough food for people,” Ross said. “You never know when you are going to need (it)… It is a city-wide issue.” Swimmers will get coupons and vouchers from many of the Cadboro Bay businesses including Pepper’s Foods, Smuggler’s Cove Pub, Peoples’ Pharmacy, Village Service Automotive, Zambri’s Restaurant and Cleopatra’s Bedroom. Starbucks, David’s Tea and Tim Hortons will provide hot drinks and snacks. Started by Jasmin Gerwien in memory of her late mother who was a strong believe in helping the less
fortunate, the VOS has raised more than $500 in cash donations and thousands of pounds of food donations over two previous events which drew 11 and 30 swimmers respectively. This year Gerwien says she is expecting more than 50 swimmers and hopes the more spectators come to cheer them on and bring non-perishable food donations along for the ride.

OUR VIEW
Organic recycling becomes the norm
T
his week marks the beginning of full-time kitchen scraps diversion for residents in the City of Victoria, home to about 24 per cent of the population in the Capital Region. Many in the city are excited they now have an easy, relatively inexpensive way to divert compostable materials from their trash, and the rest of Greater Victoria should be watching closely and preparing for the day when everyone has to take such actions. The Capital Regional District has mandated that all organic waste must be diverted from the Hartland landfill by January 2015. That gives Greater Victoria municipalities a fair bit of time to put together a program for collecting and disposing of kitchen waste – Saanich for one will roll out its program in the spring of 2014. While residents in some of the region’s smaller rural jurisdictions may argue that the cost of such a program is yet another punitive tax, especially since many already compost, a regional rule needs to be put in place to steer all municipalities in the right direction. Not so long ago, people bristled at the idea of separating cardboard and paper from the rest of the garbage, and later, plastics. Now, the idea of doing so is second nature, a fact of life that also is helping greatly to keep our landfill from filling up as quickly as it otherwise might. The culture of recycling is prominent in this province and definitely in the Capital Region. Given that scenario, most of us grimace when we hear that residents in other provinces either don’t bother recycling anything, or are just starting to wake up to the benefits of doing so. While the Hartland landfill will eventually be full midway through this century, taking actions now to extend its lifespan will become a valuable legacy to leave for our children and grandchildren. This is a case where it’s simply the right thing to do and a sign of the evolution of our waste cycle. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@saanichnews.com or fax 250-386-2624.

Conservatives, but he reached the mandatory retirement age of 75, having been appointed by Brian Mulroney in 1993 after losing his seat as an MP. Why would this senate reform be so urgent for the B.C. Liberals now? Well, turnout for the 2009 election fell to around 50 per cent, a record low for a provincial vote. If that downward trend is reversed this year, it will be in large part because people are still mad enough about the harmonized sales tax and a range of other issues to get off the couch and kick B.C. Liberal butt. Electing senators remains a popular notion, especially with older, conservative-minded voters in B.C. who identified with the Reform Party. The first-ever senate election looks like the best available shot at boosting turnout among people who are not likely to vote NDP, and who may also be disengaged from provincial politics. And then there is the provincial sales tax bill. Another kick in the slats for the movie business, for one, and don’t hold your breath for NDP leader Adrian Dix to produce a solution in the wake of his recent trip to Tinsel Town. The performance of the governing party and the opposition will be scrutinized as never before.

SAANICH NEWS - Wednesday, February 6, 2013
Saanich watersheds deserve our respect In light of the recent oil spills in the Swan Creek and Colquitz Creek, it has become an increasingly important reminder to our community to keep the areas around these watersheds clean. The waterways provide grounds for spawning salmon as well as feeding areas for local waterfowl. We walk our children to school along Swan Creek and tire of seeing litter in and around the creek. My husband and daughter (who is a Brownie with 47th Raven Brownies), took time out of their day on Saturday to clean up the hillside near the banks of Swan Creek, along Columbine Road. They collected four bags of refuse, two bags of bottles, and a shopping cart. Among this were shopping bags of diapers and dog feces. It doesn’t take much time out of your weekend to organize a small family and friends local park clean up, and the feeling of contributing to your local green space is wonderful. We contacted Saanich parks and recreation afterwards to notify them of the location of the garbage bags and they acknowledged our work and will pick up the refuse. Even if you don’t pick up other people’s trash, please remember to use the trash bins provided in park areas. The kids who walk to school along the pathways and the spawning salmon thank you. Wendy Okopski Saanich
Electric vehicles in B.C. not green Re: Uptown slated for city’s first high-speed car charger (News, Jan. 23) More crazy news about electric cars. First, they use our tax money to subsidize the purchase. Now they want to build charging stations. All very well if the cars were indeed green, but here in B.C. they are not. Experts are pointing out that because all our
www.saanichnews.com • A9
LETTERS
green sources are already spoken for, and our last watt comes from fuel burning power plants, the cars represent new load, and therefore will be supplied fully by fueled power plants, and therefore have a “very long tailpipe” to those plants. Worse yet, B.C. Hydro is raising our rates dramatically over the next few years to pay for new, more expensive sources of power to supply a growing demand. Therefore, anything that increases demand is a factor in raising rates for all of us. So, they are spending tax dollars to encourage increased electricity consumption that will, in turn, drive up our rates. It makes much more ecological sense to burn natural gas in cars rather than in the power plants. Also makes more sense to burn it in our cars rather than using a lot of energy to liquefy our surplus for China. Rein Nienaber Saanich
Increase safety with lower speed limits Re: roads still must be beneficial for vehicles (Letters, Jan 30) I agree with Larry Zilinsky that lowering speeds on residential streets won’t deter people from driving, as the car is a necessary mode of transportation for many people. Lowering the residential speed limit will however produce many benefits, one of which is safety. Safety is one of the most ethical benefits of lowering speed. Cars traveling at 50 km/h and higher on residential streets, especially those without sidewalks, pose a real safety threat to pedestrians and cyclists and it is well substantiated in the literature that pedestrian injury and death rises quickly as the speed of cars increase from 30 km/h to 50 km/h. Shouldn’t the balance be in favor of the pedestrians, more importantly children, elderly and disabled, versus cars? Some applications of traffic calming have been found necessary to slow traffic down in residential areas, be it frustrating for some drivers.
If lowered residential speeds were adopted and adhered to across Greater Victoria, perhaps the need for traffic calming in residential areas may not be as great. Donna Roth Saanich
Residential speed problem overblown Re: Speed and speeding are different beasts (Letters, Jan. 30) In response to “speed and speeding are two different, beasts” Dave Ferguson has missed the point of what he should be saying. He seems to think the bulk of Saanich lives on side streets and not on main roads such as Mckenzie Avenue, and he’s implying he would prefer these side roads to have a reduced speed. If you count the apartments and businesses on main streets, there’s far more people on main roads. That’s where there’s more traffic, more pedestrians, and unfortunately more accidents and injuries. There is much less chance of an accident on side roads given the same speed limit. There is an increasing trend in nimbyism that succeeds in causing increased traffic congestion on main roads and quiet streets having more speed bumps than a shopping mall. Somehow the local politicians gobble up the nimby concerns and get their way when the noise level on their street exceeds a sprinkler hose, or they give you the “slow down gesture” with their hands when you’re not speeding. Usually the speeders in a residential area are the ones that live there. Ask any police detachment who the majority of speeders caught in a school zone are, and they will tell you it’s the parents taking their kids to that school. The main roads where most people tend to speed on are our homes, where our kids live and play, where our pets and people spend time. We are the ones paying the price. Crawford Walker Central Saanich

Legal blindness A person is legally blind when their visual functions fall below certain levels. If visual acuity cannot be improved to 20/200 (the big E) WITH glasses or contact lenses a person is considered legally blind. I’ve often had patients state that they are “legally blind without their glasses.” Blindness is defined in terms of the best-corrected vision with glasses or contact lenses in place. That makes a big difference. Visual acuity below 20/200 is most often caused by age related macular degeneration. Other causes include congenital defects, cataracts, injuries, infections and inflammations. In many cases the progress of the disease can be slowed, stopped or even reversed if early detection and treatment occur. A second form of legal blindness occurs when a person has a field of vision that is constricted to less than 20 degrees. It is sometimes known as “tunnel vision.” Glaucoma is the cause of the majority of these cases. Again, early detection and treatment stop the potentially blinding effects of this silent disease. Unfortunately blindness is not always preventable however many of the causes of blindness, if detected early enough are treatable. Make eye examinations a regular part of your health care.

Auditor loses bid for BC Rail bills Tom Fletcher Black Press
Auditor General John Doyle has lost his bid for detailed defence lawyer billings in the case of two ministerial assistants convicted for their role in the sale of B.C. Rail operations in 2002. In a ruling released last Tuesday, B.C. Supreme Court Chief Justice Robert Bauman found that Doyle was seeking a "sweeping invasion of solicitor-client privilege" in the case and dismissed his petition to see the documents. Doyle went to court in an effort to complete his review of the BC
Rail sale, in which Dave Basi and Bobby Virk pleaded guilty to breach of trust and accepting a benefit for their role in bidding for BC Rail assets. Seven years of pre-trail manoeuvring came to a sudden end in October 2010, when Basi and Virk pleaded guilty to providing bid information to a Colorado-based railway company, in exchange for a trip to Denver for a football game and other rewards. The B.C. government's decision to abandon efforts to recover $6 million in legal fees for the pair sparked a political battle. Two deputy ministers said they made the decision to
overrule the policy to recover legal defence fees from government employees if they are found guilty. They concluded it would have added more to legal costs than their assets were worth. Bauman states in his ruling that current B.C. legislation does not give the Auditor General access to privileged materials such as lawyer bills, and his assurance that they would not be widely shared makes no difference. Bauman also found that the government's voluntary disclosure of privileged cabinet documents in the case is not relevant to the confidentiality of lawyer bills.

Explore together ■ There is no better province to explore than southern Vancouver Island and no better family bonding experience than sharing the thrill of a new discovery or experience. Day trips can create remarkable family memories, offering a wonderful way to spend time together and learn more about where you live. The variety of experiences available to families is different in each area of this spectacular region – you might decide to explore close to home or venture to one of the neighbouring communities over the Family Day weekend. To maximize the experience, families should involve everyone in the planning. By planning ahead the whole family can experience a worthwhile outing and make every aspect fun. Create a list of activities or venues and assign a rough budget for each. Allow family members to weigh in on their preferences and discuss what they would like to see, do or learn at each. You might decide to stay in a hotel and be a tourist in your own hometown. Kids or youth can map out the sites and
activities, creating a family agenda including selecting the points of interest, lunch and shopping as well as enjoying the amenities your hotel might offer. It’s the perfect way to free up everyone from everyday tasks and roles. Researching history, attractions, museums, parks and markets can teach valuable lessons and it helps children to plan within a budget. This way they are part of making important decisions, appreciate both the effort and cost of outings and will be more enthused about an agenda they helped develop. Be sure to capture your family time by taking photos, saving literature or purchasing a memento. This can lead to great family discussions about what each individual enjoyed or learned and starts you planning for future family explorations.

Share together ■ Bringing together your extended family can create a highly memorable and valuable life event. They say “it takes a village to raise a child” and many would agree especially in today’s world of working parents and latchkey kids. The support, experience and interest of your extended family can have a significant impact on your immediate family. Regardless of your definition of ‘extended’ family, bringing together those with whom you share history can have lasting benefits not just for you and your children but for those you invite to share your day. It is common in today’s world to have older children in nuclear families reach their teens before meeting extended family members. Geographical isolation is common for middle-class families who move based on occupational opportunities while family branches retain their independence. Family Day is the ideal occasion to hold family reunions to re-establish and integrate a stronger family connection. This allows your children to connect with extended family members and to share a better sense of their heritage and belonging. Don’t forget to include senior members of your family. Family reunions and relationships inspire seniors to stay active and pursue their well-being. Studies have found seniors feel revitalized when they spend time with families. Your children will benefit from hearing their oral history and that’s an inspiring experience that won’t always be available to them. Another way to celebrate Family Day is to gather your extended family and friends around an activity you care about. It might be a shore clean-up, a family walk or a garage sale. You might volunteer at a foodbank. Food is often central to gatherings and with everyone contributing to a family meal afterwards, it becomes a great way to share B.C.’s first Family Day.

FAMILY DAY 2013
Experience as a Family ■ Try something new this Family Day. It might be as simple as agreeing that everyone observe a no-technology or TV day. If you find your gatherings often involve all the adults sitting around visiting while the youngsters play among themselves and the teens segregate away from both you and the little ones, you’re probably not alone. A family gathering can be a wonderful opportunity for family to hear the latest on jobs, trips, hobbies and health, but if you find your gatherings following the same tedious patterns, this is the year to change it up. Consider adding new experiences to the plans, and making a new and fun tradition out of them. Here are some ideas to get started: Get out and enjoy our beautiful outdoors – no matter what your weather. Take advantage of the region’s mild winters to explore local parks and beaches. Plan a bike ride, a hike a trip to the golf course or even an ice skating trip rip to the a community rink. The idea is to bring everyone together in a family activity you’ve never done before. Plan a meal away from the e house – Instead of cooking for the gathering, thering, plan a formal brunch or dinnerr at a new restaurant. Not only do you experience perience a new menu together but everyone yone in your group can sit together and enjoy the meal. B.C. has a widely ely diverse cultural make-up and
ethnic restaurants are part of that. Make your Family Day gathering a retreat for all – consider getting your family out of the house and turn your gathering into a festive retreat. Many venues have activities for all ages to enjoy, from winter outdoor fun to refreshing spa services. Host a family talent show – everyone has a special talent in your family, so encourage them to bring their talent to your gathering. If you’re really ambitious, set up an area to be used as a stage and arrange chairs for audience members. Play with lighting and lamps so the performance area is in the spotlight. You might rent a popcorn machine or ask family to bring treats and snacks. By bringing new activities to your family gathering, you’ll be creating new memories to share in the future, and making the event much more enjoyable.

■ There is nothing like the fun and innocence of childhood. Whether it’s a game of kick-the-can with the neighbourhood children or building a tree fort in the backyard, some of our best memories are playful. Board games are a great indoor activity, and Family Day is a great time to dig out some of your old favourites like Monopoly and Clue, and maybe try out a few new ones. Or, set up a card table, get your favourite puzzle and spend hours putting it together. If you’re looking for something a bit more high-tech, your game console or computer is a good place to start. Video games have come a long way from the classic Super Mario and Donkey Kong, and you may discover that your kids
have a much larger technical knowledge than you do. They might beat you at Wii Sports but it will make for a great story! Getting outside for a game of tag or basketball will check off two things on your list: play and exercise. Taking a trip to a local playground or field will give you hours of entertainment for a low cost. Pack a picnic as well for an entire day of fun. Practicing your batting or pitching will also get you ready for the coming sports seasons, or maybe compete to see who can run the fastest to the swings. This year, Family Day is a time to make memories, spend time together and maybe learn a thing or two. Whatever the weather is like outside, you have plenty of options for having fun at all ages.
Cook together ■ If you ask any adult about some of their favourite memories of childhood, you’ll invariably hear something related to food. Whether it’s baking with grandma or grilling hamburgers for a cookout with dad, cooking is always an important part of growing up. Family Day is a great time to dig out those family cookbooks and try a recipe handed down from the older generation. Your mom’s famous meatloaf or your uncle’s recipe for spinach dip are great things to try with family members of all ages. Maybe you’re looking to make something you’ve never made before, or perhaps try out a new cuisine. Hitting the library or the web will give you ideas for new recipes, whether it’s trying to duplicate your favourite takeout pizza or make an authentic spicy Indian dish. Let each family member choose a recipe that they Continued page 16

Maybe you’ll find a new favourite food or discover your child could be the next Mario Batali or Julia Child. Learning about what goes into a dish will set your family on the road to
healthy eating. Taking a few minutes to read the labels will demonstrate how to make healthy choices. Finding healthy alternatives to not-so-healthy foods can be a fun experiment, and may end up being tastier than the original food.

Learn together ■Having a day off from school doesn’t mean learning stops for the day. There are plenty of educational things you can do in British Columbia, whether in your own home or outside. How about starting with a trip to your local library? Maybe a book of science experiments or a historical novel set in the early days of Canada will spark your imagination. Let the kids each pick out a book to take home with them and start a lifetime love of reading. Your local bookstore will also hold a variety of options if your child can’t bear to part with his or her new favourite book. A local historical attraction is also a great place to pay a visit. Whether it’s Chinatown, Fort Rodd Hill or Heritage Acres, Islanders enjoy a ton of history right in our own backyard. Explore a local museum or heritage building as a jumping-off point for learning more about the community where you live. Learning can be more than just reading though. Pull out the laptop and get your kids to type out an email to a family member or friend outside of B.C. Perhaps they can even tell the person about what they learned at the museum or library! Keeping a journal is also a great way to practice writing and literacy skills. Even if it’s not a daily occurrence, sitting down in the evening to write about the events of the day or week can get kids thinking and practicing their handwriting.

1930s Paris comes to Victoria with Django Festival Kyle Wells News staff
Mark Brennan photo
Vancouver’s Van Django will be among the acts playing at the second annual Django Festival, a celebration of the music of Django Reinhardt.
Are you ready to party like it’s 1934? That’s the year Django Reinhardt formed his Quintette du Hot Club de France and started to make his permanent mark in the world of jazz. On Friday, Feb. 15 the spirit of Django will once again come alive as the White Eagle Hall (90 Dock St.) in James Bay is transformed into a 1930s Paris cabaret for Victoria’s second annual Django Festival. “The cabarets of the ‘30s in Paris were legendary for a reason,� said Oliver Swain, renowned local musician and one of the organizers of the event. “We’re sort of recreating that.� Django Reinhardt was a jazz guitarist, best known for his music stemming from French gypsy culture and for composing such standards as Minor Swing, Swing ‘42
and Djangology. Respected in his own time, Reinhardt is now considered one of the greatest guitar players of all time, and legions of modern day musicians honour him through his style and his songs. “I feel like there’s a massive revival in acoustic swing going on across North America and one of the hot spots is right here in Victoria,� Swain said. Django Festival will feature some of the premier Djangologists in the region, including Reuben Weir, Gypsy Jazz Explorations with Chris Sartisohn, Vancouver’s premier Django band Van Django and all-star band Montage, comprised of Swain, Paul Dowd, Adam Dobres and featuring special guest Daniel Lapp. “We’re really looking forward to it,� said Cameron Wilson, violin player with Van Django. Van Django has been playing together for about 14 years and include in their repertoire Django standards, along with Django-inspired takes on everything from Beatles songs to 1950s TV theme songs. “I think it’s just honest,� said Wil-
son on the joys of the music. “It’s just really energetic and there’s a bounce to it. I don’t know how to explain it. There’s an elegance but at the same time there’s a power to it.â€? Last year’s event, held at Upstairs Cabaret, was a huge success that sold out early and featured some hot jazz. “The dance floor was cooking, the bands were cooking, so we thought this is a great event,â€? Swain said. “You don’t need to be just a lover of the music of Django Reinhardt to enjoy this stuff.â€? With a venue change this year, the event is being expanded. A chandelier-lit main floor will feature a stage, a large dancing area and cafĂŠ-style seating. Downstairs the musicians will be getting down to business with a improvisation-heavy jam session. Downstairs will also feature an Unsworth Vineyards wine bar and The Whole Beast food. Upstairs beer from Hoyne brewery will be flowing and food from Pizzeria Prima Strada will be available. Tickets are $22 advance and are available at Larsen Music, Lyle’s Place and Ditch Records. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

International award reflects shop’s transformation
Don Descoteau Biz Beat
Joel Luyt has long been invested in the boarding sports – the snow and skate variety. But it wasn’t until last year, when he bought Sanction Boardshop from supplier Brad Richmond that he got a chance to mould his vision of a successful business.
Luyt, 32, spent 13 years in Abbotsford before moving his family to the Island in 2012. In buying his own business – the shop has locations on Herald Street and in Langford – he brought experience in both financial planning and youth services to the table.
Almost from the get-go, Luyt and his staff have worked to shed the traditional model of skateboard and snowboard shops: boards and trucks and black T-shirts only. His expansive, highceilinged downtown shop is all about colour: the main floor is filled
with clothing while the upper level features a wide enough selection of boards to appeal to pretty much any rider. While he recognizes that certain customers will be stereotypical boarders and hipsters, he has also tried to appeal to “the average Joe Blow construction Don Descoteau/News staff
Sanction Boardshop owner Joel Luyt in his Herald Street store with the award his company won as a top retailer in Canada. worker who just likes to snowboard.” The company’s turnaround didn’t go unnoticed. Sanction Victoria was recently named Canadian region shop of the year at the 2012 TransWorld Business awards in Long Beach, Calif. “(Winning the award) feels incredible. I mean, we’re in Victoria, not downtown Vancouver

or Whistler,” Luyt says. “This speaks volumes about our staff and our building and how accessible we are.” The store on Jacklin Road will be expanding soon, moving two doors down to a space that will effectively double its selling space. Luyt’s longerrange plans include expanding to Nanaimo and perhaps the B.C. Interior. “I definitely want to become the shop on the Island,” he says. “I want to work on boosting the Sanction brand in future.” – Sanction Boardworks, 506 Herald St. and 112-2806 Jacklin Rd.

Victoria Royals players find a balance between education and hockey Travis Paterson
“It’s not like the old days (of the WHL). Actually, it’s anything but. Parents have high expectations on the school front.”
News staff
You can take the boy out of Alberta but you can’t take Alberta out of the boy. Sitting in Victoria’s traffic in a black 1971 Ford 100, there’s nothing glaringly obvious about Keegan Kanzig’s prairie upbringing. The Victoria Royals defenceman has no cowboy boots or 10 gallon hat. And despite coming from rural Alberta, he’s not an offseason ranch hand. In fact, he’s a lot less cowboy than some of the Langford players coming out of Juan de Fuca Minor Hockey. But he does have that truck, complete with fuzzy dice hanging from the mirror. “The dice were a gift, that’s all I can say,” Kanzig said. “The truck I picked up back in 2010 from someone in Spruce Grove. It wasn’t specifically a 1971 Ford that I wanted, but a truck with that era of body style.” To look at it, the old Ford has led a good life, with a few dings to prove it. Its clad with a vintage Alberta licence plate on the front and a rusted long bed that could haul at least half a dozen hockey bags. It’s size is a pretty good fit for the gentle giant, who carries his 6-foot-5, 230-pound frame with a sense of calm. Of course, he’s not so gentle on the ice. But away from the rink, Kanzig is one of nine Royals students that excel as full time students of Vic High. “So far I’ve put in a decent amount of work, a new starter and distributor cap, which I did on my own,” Kanzig said. “At school I replaced the rear axle seals and worked on the brakes.” Kanzig’s mechanical inclinations can be traced directly back to his dad, who works in Athabasca as a mechanical engineer, though the family is now based in Fort Saskatchewan.
– Tammy Renyard Victoria Royals education advisor
Don Denton/News staff
Victoria Royals’ Keegan Kanzig sits on the hood of his 1971 Ford F100 at the auto mechanics shop at Victoria High School. The Alberta native attends Vic High and is slowly rebuilding his truck. “(Kanzig) is the first Royals player to be in my mechanics class and he’s been great,” said Mark Van Akker, the auto shop teacher at Vic High. “He has a future in it if he needs it.” But it’s not all wrenches and motor oil for Kanzig. Last year, the 17-year-old aced Math 12 as a Grade 11 student, and yet he defers to 16-year-old Royals rookie Joe Hicketts as the math whiz. “Hicketts is doing the same thing, but both are very bright math students,” said Tammy
Renyard, the Royals’ education advisor. When Renyard first took on the role she was the vice principal at Vic High. She’s since become the vice principal at Spectrum Community School but continues to work with Vic High and the Royals. She’s also the mother of Nic Renyard, 18-year-old goaltender with the Penticton Vees of the BCHL, which helped lead her to the world of hockey players and school. “Vic High has been extremely

flexible to support the boys,” she said. “They all have strong marks and work very hard to maintain the balance of school and hockey. “It’s not like the old days (of the WHL). Actually, it’s anything but. Parents have high expectations on the school front.” If Kanzig is Example A, then Hicketts is Example A1. Hicketts is one of four Royals in Grade 11 with Ryan Gagnon, Brandon Fushimi and Jack Walker, while Kanzig is among the graduating players with Luke Harrison, Kolton Dixon, Taylor Crunk and
Logan Fisher. Hicketts, however, is a bit of a smarty pants. If he wasn’t such a shift disturber on the ice, one might ask to see his pocket protector. “He’s technically of Grade 11 age but is on track to graduate early and is carrying a full course load for Grade 12,” Renyard said. Renyard is also quick to point out that the Royals at Vic High aren’t the only students on the team. Ben Walker is taking a course at Camosun College. Jordan Fransoo has been doing first year economics through UVic and is now one of three Royals taking online courses through Athabasca University, which is beneficial because the courses can be done one at a time. “It’s not unheard of for WHL players to complete their first year of university before they go to the CIS,” Renyard said. “That way their CIS money goes a lot further. Some even use it to pay for their masters.” As for Kanzig, he’s hoping an NHL career is in the cards, while “trying not to think about it.” He was ranked 194th amongst North American skaters in the January release of 2013 eligible skaters by the NHL’s Central Scouting Service. With a pro contract, you can bet that old Ford will get some love. sports@vicnews.com

West Shore bait car snags Langford man A West Shore thief targeting vehicles faces charges after he took the RCMP’s bait. A spike in break-ins to cars on the West Shore prompted the RCMP to put out a bait car to see what it could catch. On Sunday, Jan. 20, police were alerted there had been a theft from the bait car. A man stole items from the car while on video the entire time. Byron Forbes, 46, of Langford, faces three counts of theft under $5,000 and will remain in custody until his next court appearance on Feb. 7. Forbes is also facing charges from two unrelated shoplifting cases. Thefts from vehicles have risen 250 per cent for this December and January, as opposed to the same time period the year before. In the past two months 119 thefts from cars have been reported on the West Shore.
