Safeway jobs and benefits safe: Overwaitea The sale of four Greater Victoria Safeway stores to Overweitea Food Group last Thursday won’t impact current employees, says the company’s president. Safeway locations at Fort and Foul Bay roads, Tillicum Mall, University Heights mall and in Sidney’s Beacon Plaza will transition to Save-on-Foods between mid-March and early May, as part of a 15-store purchase by Overwaitea across B.C. and Alberta. The move affects about

400 unionized employees in the Capital Region. “We’ve let the team members and store managers know that all pay and benefits they currently have under their contracts will remain in place,” said Darryl Jones, Overwaitea Food Group president. Safeway locations in Port Alberni, Ladysmith and Duncan, and a Thrifty Foods in Nanaimo are also part of the sale, meaning Safeway will vanish from Vancouver Island altogether. “The face of retail food is really changing dramatically in B.C., and it’s a bit dis-

appointing to see the Safeway banner disappear from the Island, but we’ll roll with it,” said Andy Neufeld, communications director for United Food and Commercial Workers 1518, which represents both Safeway and Save-on-Foods employees. Neufeld said new employee contracts will be “virtually identical” to the current agreements, and that all benefits and pensions will remain in place for existing employees.

Storm clouds gathering above the Strait of Juan de Fuca seemed an appropriate reflection of the mood of about 40 Capital Region residents aboard Orca Spirit II on Sunday afternoon. The $5,000 one-hour boat cruise, organized and paid for by the Capital Regional District’s Seaterra program, was requested by Esquimalt council to address public concerns before construction begins on a wastewater treatment plant at McLoughlin Point later this year. “The vast majority of Daniel Palmer Reporting tourists that enter into Victoria come right by that spot (McLoughlin Point), whether by cruise ship, floatplane or ferries from the U.S.,” said Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins, standing on the catamaran’s windy outer deck in a backpack and toque. “It’s a very important visual for people to see and understand what will be built on that property.” In the days leading up to the cruise, surveyors marked setbacks and proposed building heights with bold green and white arrows along the crumbling remains of the defunct Imperial Oil tank farm. The boat’s PA system, normally reserved for cheerful whale-watching facts, was instead occupied by CRD staff to explain in meticulous detail what each marking represented on the graffitied walls.

Moose Hide campaign receives MLAs’ support Momentum growing for movement, event organizer says Daniel Palmer News staff

A men’s movement to end violence against aboriginal women and children is garnering the support of B.C. MLAs, police organizations and communities across Canada. The Moose Hide Campaign held its third annual gathering on the steps of the B.C. legislature Feb. 13, with more than 200 aboriginal men, police officers, MLAs and women uniting against violence in aboriginal communities. “For the first time this year, almost every MLA wore the moose hide in the legislative session,” said Paul LaCerte, Moose Hide organizer and executive director of the Victoria-based B.C. Association of Native Friendship Centres. “It was a pretty strong signal of solidarity to see both (parties) of the house supporting this movement.” Many attendees, MLAs included,

also participated in a one-day hunger strike in solidarity with supporters across Canada, LaCerte said. Moose Hide organizers met with Premier Christy Clark, Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation Minister John Rustad and other provincial leaders last week to discuss the success of the anti-violence campaign in actively engaging aboriginal men. Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs also visited Victoria and pledged his support to grow the movement. A small piece of moose hide worn on supporters’ clothing acts as a conversation-starter to show that a “paradigm shift” is happening, LaCerte said, as men recognize the role they can play in eliminating the stigma around confronting domestic violence. “We’re trying to bring this issue out of the shadows, because as long as it’s lurking in the shadows, it’s never going to change,” he said.

While LaCerte praised support from provincial officials, he said the campaign still has years of work ahead to penetrate communities where violence often goes unreported. Aboriginal women are three times more likely to be the victims of domestic violence in Canada than other women, and are also three times more likely to be killed by someone they know, according to Assembly of First Nations statistics. Over the next year, LaCerte plans to build an administrative team to grow the Moose Hide Campaign throughout Canada, with support from the White Ribbon Campaign, a similar anti-violence mens movement. “We’ve also scaled up the number of moose hides we’ve been able to give out and we’re now up to 14,000,” he said. “As long as it’s changing people’s behaviours in hard-to-reach places, that’s the key.” dpalmer@vicnews.com

Sandwich board fee lowered to $35 ESL staff at Camosun Outcry from small business prompts rethink of portable sign bylaw fees Daniel Palmer News staff

Several maritime-themed events are happening in Victoria today and through the weekend in celebration of B.C. Heritage Week. Kicking things off is a lecture, Heritage Afloat! Dorothy Sails, today (Feb. 19) from 1 to 2 p.m. in the courtroom at the Maritime Museum of B.C. Hear the history behind the museum’s 1897-built, 30-foot sailing yacht and about its restoration on Gabriola Island by shipwright and artist, Tony Grove. Admission is by donation. On Saturday at 1 p.m., tour the unlucky sailors list at the museum. History Sunk – Shipwrecks along the West Coast, details the higher-profile ships that came to a watery end on our coast. Entry is included with admission to the museum.

Also Saturday, between 3 and 4 p.m., a workshop for adults on Driftwood Boats gives tips on making your own miniature crafts out of driftwood. Cost is $10, register online at mmbc.ca. In the museum’s Coast Guard gallery now through Feb. 23 is the Trial Island display, where members of the Oak Bay Heritage Foundation will talk about efforts to have the lighthouse on the island protected under the Heritage Lighthouse Protection Act. As part of the exhibit, an artistic collage of the lighthouse has been created by students of Monterey middle school. For more information on any of the exhibits or events, visit mmbc.ca. editor@vicnews.com

Poop cruise a prelude to vote Continued from Page A1 Inside, staff circulated blueprints and fielded questions about the site: Will there be a pedestrian waterfront pathway? Yes. Will underground pipelines that connect the wastewater plant to a biosolids facility at Hartland landfill tear up Lampson Street? Perhaps. Do we really need to spend $800 million on sewage treatment? Yes. As whitecaps began rocking the boat, staff did their best to calmly point out design features to agitated residents, who seemed more inter-

ested in debating the science behind sewage treatment than the estimated height of buildings. Seaterra project director Albert Sweetnam signalled the final pass of the rocky shoreline before ordering the ship’s captain and its motley crew of politicians, bureaucrats, public relations professionals and the public back to port. Esquimalt plans to vote on the McLoughlin Point development application at a Feb. 24 council meeting after garnering feedback at a public hearing last night. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Robbery attempt foiled Victoria police officers are seeking two Good Samaritans, as well as witnesses to an attempted robbery in downtown Victoria on Valentine’s Day. The incident occurred just after 5 p.m. Friday in the 600 block of View St. near Broad Street. Two men confronted another man who had allegedly just committed a robbery. “One of the two men may have gotten into a physical confrontation with the fleeing suspect,” said Bowen Osoko, VicPD spokesman. The suspect is described as aboriginal, fivefoot-10, wearing a red jacket with black and white stripes over a dark coloured hoodie, blue jeans and white sneakers and carrying a dark backpack. Witnesses also reported that the suspect had acne scarring on his face. Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to call VicPD’s non-emergency line at 250-995-7654. dpalmer@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW

Future cloudy for local military The bean counters with the Royal Canadian Navy are no doubt still figuring out the impact of postponed military capital spending announced in last week’s federal budget. What the Conservative government’s decision means in the short term for the Pacific fleet and its multitude of local suppliers is still anyone’s guess. But it could well change the way our West Coast navy does business. As they move to balance the budget next year before the federal election, the Conservatives have planned on delaying by three years, or longer, such major expenditures as replacement of the navy’s supply ships – Esquimalt-based HMCS Protecteur is one of two in Canada – and our aging Sea King helicopters. Some national defence experts believe all branches of the Canadian military will be tightening their belts on operations in an attempt to convince the feds to restore some of the funding down the road. Our region counts on the military to provide a boost to the local economy. Any reductions in discretionary spending by the navy, the army reserve unit based at Bay Street Armoury and the air force helicopter squadron at Victoria International Airport could have a significant effect on Capital Region businesses. We worry that the remaining technical upgrades on our naval frigates – work being done by Victoria Shipyards – might be in jeopardy. We also wonder whether our frigates will make fewer trips abroad, for which they need initial provisioning locally. Similarly, our Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels, six of which are stationed at Esquimalt, could potentially be deployed less, meaning decreased part-time wages for local naval reservists. The trickle-down economic effect may take time to materialize in Greater Victoria, but we shouldn’t be surprised if it comes to pass. We don’t doubt political motivation is playing a role in the feds’ aim to balance the budget by 2015-16. With that in mind, and with no Conservative member of parliament to plead our economic case, the chances of the feds altering course on the military budget move appear slim. What do you think?

transfer of some students to other schools, closure of daycare and Strong Start preschool programs to free up space reallocated over the years, layoff of non-teaching staff, and cancellation of school participation in the international student program. Premier Christy Clark and Education Minister Peter Fassbender have begun to push back against the conspiracy theory that has taken hold, pointing out that when the BCTF finally did get permission to strike, the cabinet of the day acted to prevent it. Here’s a recap. In late February 2012, nearly 28,000 teachers (90 per cent) voted to go to the full strike allowed by the LRB. The government tabled legislation to impose a cooling-off period with provision for steep fines on the union for any further strike action, and appointed a mediator. This kept schools open, and eventually yielded a two-year deal. In April 2012, the union voted to withdraw all volunteer work by teachers. By this time they had been ordered by the LRB to prepare second-term report cards, in part so students would know if they could apply for post-secondary studies. Once again this mess is before the court of appeal. Perhaps there will be better recognition of the real world this time around. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

It was the nurses who coached us through setting things up properly at home for his continued recovery. And frankly, if it weren’t for the nurses, I would have deemed his care substandard and felt that I could not leave his bedside to go home and sleep and do basic self-care.

Rather, I base my comments on the last time I needed the expertise of a nurse, which was a few years ago when my father had emergency surgery after his small intestine was ruptured in an accident. It was the nurses who provided the link between my father and his doctor, who despite me being at the hospital for a minimum of 12 hours per day for the six days he was in acute care, I never met. The nurses knew how his pain levels were during the night, what he ate, when he went to the washroom, his mobility, his moods, his medications, complications in the healing of his wound and what the doctor was planning for his care. It was the nurses who figured out that a medication was causing his

achieve more by reducing class sizes and providing more learning assistants when the government can spend taxpayers money on expensive lawyers and court costs instead? Justice Susan Griffin had the guts to call a spade a spade and her ruling was fair and her accounts accurate. The government knows it, the teachers know it and the parents know it. The Liberals tried to get something they wanted without following the rules of the courts and they got caught with their hand in the cookie jar. For the kids and the parents sake it is about time they admit their mistakes and deal with the ramifications of the outcome they created without wasting even more money to get the same ruling in the appeals court. There must middle ground that can be negotiated without risking our children losing their extracurricular activities or having to go through yet another job action. Dee Forbes Victoria

Housing ends homelessness Jennifer Blyth Black Press

Housing is a fundamental human need, yet here in Victoria, the high cost of living, often paired with health or social factors, can put this basic necessity out of reach for many. For the Greater Victoria Coalition to End Homelessness, that’s simply not acceptable. The Coalition’s mission is to end homelessness by 2018, so that all people facing homelessness in Greater Victoria will have access to safe, affordable, appropriate, permanent housing, with support if they require it. “We understand that people will continue to experience homelessness in our community due to economic, health or other reasons outside of their control,” says Andrew Wynn-Williams, executive director of the Coalition. “Our goal is to prevent homelessness where we can and shorten the time people experience it.” A partnership of all levels of government, service providers, business members, the faith community, post-secondary institutions and private citizens dedicated to ending homelessness in Greater Victoria, the key to the Coalition’s success will be its ability to bring partners and organizations together to build affordable housing, supportive housing and create additional rental supplements.

How urgent is the need? The Housing and Homelessness in Greater Victoria report identified some of the myriad needs facing the Capital Region. Beyond the lack of available housing for those with low incomes, the report also identified a shortage of supportive housing for those with complex needs. In one year, 1,617 unique individuals accessed Greater Victoria’s emergency shelters, yet even this does not reflect all of those in need. During the Coalition’s February ‘point in time’ count exploring how many people sought, on that one night, temporary accommodations such as emergency shelters, transitional houses, budget motels and hotels, the number totalled 1,170. Further, 1,545 applicant households in Greater Victoria currently

More supported housing like Pacifica Housing’s Camas Village, shown here at the 2011 opening with Supported Housing Coordinator Angela McNulty-Buell, would help address homelessness in Greater Victoria. sit on the Housing Registry, a list of those in need of subsidized housing. While it’s clear Greater Victoria’s significant housing shortage for those with lower incomes is a primary driver of homelessness in the region, additional factors exacerbating the situation include poverty, domestic violence, challenges facing on- and off-reserve Aboriginal people, untreated mental illness and addiction.

How do we address the challenge? While it’s difficult to state exactly how many housing units are required to address the need, the Coalition offers a few educated estimates based on the evidence. Research shows at least 13 per cent of those 1,617 shelter users would require supportive housing and since not everyone in need of supportive housing visits a shelter, at the bare minimum, 250 supportive housing units are needed. If 250

is minimum, other data indicates the need could be as high as 719 units. For affordable housing, the ‘point in time’ count and the Housing Registry waitlist, paired with the unknown number of people living in vehicles, couch surfing, sleeping outdoors and experiencing other types of homelessness, suggest at least 1,500 units are needed. However, a plan to increase housing must be considered in the context of a broader strategy addressing the many other underlying causes of homelessness. “Our success is evident on the streets of Victoria,” says Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin, Coalition Co-Chair. “Since the Coalition began in 2008, we have built 706 units of supportive and affordable housing and provided rental assistance with supports to more than 90 of our hardest-to-house citizens. We have accomplished a lot, but ending homelessness in our community will take more work. Now is the time to renew our commitment.”

STREET SURVIVAL GUIDE If you’re living on the street and hungry, where can you go for a meal or a hot cup of coffee? Where can you access a hot shower, do your laundry or find employment support? All that information and more is found in the Street Survival Guide, providing vital information about resources and services available in Victoria to survive, and move on from, homelessness. A one-stop resource for those experiencing, or at risk of experiencing, homelessness in Victoria, the guide was created by a group of dedicated individuals with street-life experience and contains more than 80 resources, including housing, food, laundry, harm reduction services and more. The pocket-sized, waterproof guide is available at many service agencies across the region and has proven extremely popular; it’s currently being updated with the hope of having more copies on the street in March. “There was a great need, absolutely,” says Hilary Marks, a member of the group that worked with the Coalition to create the guide. The Victoria project is unique in that it was the local homeless community that recognized the need to have the information in one place, in a compact, durable format, and it was homeless individuals themselves who did much of the research and information-gathering, with the help of the Coalition, Marks says. “It was something that was needed and the homeless community that got together and said, ‘Let’s do it.’ For people who think homeless people are lazy and not smart, this proves them wrong.” For more information or to view the guide, visit www.victoriahomelessness.ca/streetsurvivalguide

When Jada Benwell found out her dad and a few of his neighbouring business owners were hosting a lunch for Victoria’s homeless at Our Place, she sprang into gear. The Grade 5 student at Deep Cove elementary in North Saanich and daughter of Russ Benwell, owner of Red Barn Markets, decided she was going to collect 400 pairs of warm socks, toques and more in a campaign called Socks Box. She placed collection boxes at her school, Kelset Elementary, Toast Cafe and at Melinda’s Biscotti in Sidney. There are also boxes at Red Barn Market on West Saanich Road, Mattick’s Farm, Vanalman Avenue and Latoria Walk. Jada plans to gather her best friends on the day of the lunch and hand out clothes to people in need. Jada said she has done a lot of fundraising in the past and wanted to help people again at the Feb. 23 lunch at Our Place. “There’s a whole bunch of awesome people supporting me,” she said. Caleb Bentham, in Grade 3, said he’s helping his friend

Ten-year-old Jada Benwell, right, along with, from left, Caleb Bentham, 8, Quinn Benwell, 8, and Summer Bentham, 6, is collecting socks, toques, gloves and scarves in her homemade Sox Boxes to distribute to those less fortunate. “And if I can reach my goal,” she continued, “I know I can set the bar higher next year.” She hopes the Sox Box will become an annual event. Russ Benwell said giving back to the community is important to local businesses such as his, and his daughter has taken that commitment to heart. “It’s good to learn about this at a young age,” he said.

because there are other people who need warm clothes. “It’s important to help people,” Caleb said. The two youngsters are joined by Caleb’s sister Summer and Jada’s brother Quinn in the Sox Box campaign. Since they began collecting items at the start of February, the group has reached the three-quarters point to its goal, Jada said. She is collecting socks and more because she knows many people are better off than others, and this is one way of giving back to the community.

We’ve been watching these games for a few years now and chomping at the bit hoping we could get into one.” To apply, just submit an entry

to Black Press Contests, atop our home page at vicnews.com. Tell us how the sport of hockey, your team, or your favourite player has inspired you and your team could win 25 tickets to to watch the Vancouver Canucks play the Ottawa Senators at B.C. Place.

Barton hosts the event with Yvonne Blomer. “We’re using them to sketch the trajectory of a writer,” Barton said of the writers who hail from as far off as Toronto. They cover the spectrum from rookie to senior writers. “Each writer represents a snapshot about where each given writer might be in their career,” Barton said. “This is probably the purest literary event of the whole series.” Saturday sessions include Author as Avatar: Social Media and Blogging; Spirit of Place: Writing local history; The

The next issue of Monday Magazine, out Thursday (Feb. 20), is anchored by a feature interview with Tegan Quin of Tegan and Sara. The sisters have four Juno nominations, a hit record and dates next month in Victoria and Nanaimo. Visit mondaymag.com.

Inner Life of our Words: Writing and the Human Spirit; and Shining a Light: Writer as Witness. The diversity of panels – covering social media to local history to poetry and exploring spiritual issues – is an intentional bid to appeal to all generations, and utilize The Malahat’s strength as a literary entity. “This is trying to explode that and reach into areas where we wouldn’t necessarily perceive as being interested,” he said. “It’s kind of to break our brand.” Also on Saturday, writers who registered ahead will enjoy a mid-session program of one-on-one critiques with writers such as Maleea Acker, Dede Crane, JoAnn Dionne, Catherine Greenwood, Matthew Hooton, Steve Noyes, Aaron Shepard, Robin Stevenson and Christine Walde. Visit malahatreview.ca/wordsthaw to register or view a full list of events.

CHRISTINE VAN REEUWYk riters of all stripes will gather, confab and create at the University of Victoria next week. “We want to bring people from off campus. It was aimed at people who either are writers themselves or they’re passionate about reading. Then of course we’re hoping that students would come,” said John Barton, editor of The Malahat Review. “The writers could be at any level of experience. It’s not aimed at so-called professional writers, but they would be welcome as well.” The seasonal literary magazine ceased hosting issue launches to concentrate on one large event with “heft to it” to draw more attention, Barton said. The Malahat’s second annual WordsThaw, billed as “An Intellectual Icebreaker at the Cusp of Spring” runs Feb. 20 to 22 at UVic. “Every person who buys a WordsThaw pass will get a subscription to The Malahat,” Barton said. “It’s a way of reaching out to the local reading and writing community and offering them another way to subscribe to the magazine. and a way for us to meet the readership.” A Lansdowne Lecture by Vancouver writer Daphne Marlatt, who celebrates the fluid relationship between language and place, will open WordsThaw 2014 tomorrow night. “She looks at place and language together,” Barton said. Her works include two novels, several poetry pieces, and many edited literary journals and magazines. Marlatt’s latest book of poetry is entitled Liquidities: Vancouver Poems Then and Now (Talonbooks). The free lecture (no WordsThaw pass required) is Feb. 20 at 7:30 p.m. in the David Turpin Building (the former Social Sciences and Math Building), room A120, UVic. Doors open at 7.

Grizzlies roar down stretch As the B.C. Hockey League regular season nears its end, the Victoria Grizzlies are cranking their game up. The Grizzlies (34-13-3-3), winners of six in a row heading into this Friday’s (Feb. 21) home game against Alberni Valley, regained the overall lead in the BCHL standings with a perfect 3-0 weekend. The latest Victoria victory came Sunday in Surrey, where the Grizzlies built period leads of 1-0 and 2-1 en route to a 5-2 win. Cole Pickup, Garrett Forster and Jay Mackie, with an empty net goal, scored in the third period for the winners, who were outshot 12-10 in the frame. Jacob Kearley and Myles Fitzgerald bagged the other Grizzlies goals, while Alec Dillon turned aside

29 of 31 shots for the win in net. Victoria chalked up a pair of wins in the Okanagan to open the weekend, beating West Kelowna 8-5 on Friday and Penticton 3-1 Saturday. Jesse Schwartz and Myles Fitzgerald led the attack with two goals each against the Warriors on Friday. Fitzgerald added two goals and assisted on brother Leo’s thirdperiod goal against the Vees. With nine games remaining on the schedule, the Grizzlies are the hottest team in the league. They hope to extend their streak against the Bulldogs on Friday (7:15 p.m.) at The Q Centre (formerly Bear Mountain Arena) and in Port Alberni on Saturday. Victoria hosts Surrey for a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday.

DEATHS

D.Elaine Ferguson July 12, 1939 February 9, 2014

Elaine let go after a long and courageous battle with cancer. She was predeceased by her beloved brother Malcolm Feb 2013, and is survived by her daughter Kim Creally, grandaughters Alix Gillies/Hanna and Danielle Hanna, her son-in-law Patrick Stewart, sister in-law Bev Ferguson, two nieces Cindy Ferguson and Tracy Pidduck, and other family members and close friends. Elaine was very fond of this poem and wanted it shared as a memorial to her celebration of life, and beyond. Â

Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there--I do not sleep. I am the thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints in snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. As you awake with morningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hush, I am the swift-up-flinging rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft starlight of night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there--I did not die.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to your favorite animal shelter/rescue or charity. And please remember to â&#x20AC;&#x153;respect all animals in this worldâ&#x20AC;?.
