Steve Eassie. The victim’s bank card was used multiple times for purchases during this period. Police are now appealing to the public for help locating Blair Lesley Beaudry, 47, in connection with the incident. Beaudry is aboriginal, about six feet tall and 255 pounds. He is considered dangerous and should not be approached or challenged if seen. Instead, Eassie said, call Saanich police at 250475-4321 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222TIPS(8477). James Colin Walker, 38, and Name Maya McKay, 45, are still in custody on charges of assault causing bodily harm and unlawful confinement. A third person, Kayla Lynn Cobane, 42, has also been arrested on charges of robbery, unlawful confinement, fraud and theft under $5,000.

Man nabbed in vehicle break-ins

A conspicuous vehicle thief was taken down by a Saanich police dog near Shelbourne and North Dairy roads early Sunday morning. Around 3 a.m., police responded to a report of a suspicious man in the 3200block of Aldridge St. Soon after, officers found the man rummaging inside a

vehicle. The suspect attempted to flee but was taken down by police dog Grimm in a nearby driveway and arrested. A laptop and other small items were retrieved. Anyone with relevant information is asked to call Saanich police.

Smash and grab clears Sears

Saanich police are on the hunt for two men who stole several TVs and highend vacuum cleaners early Saturday morning. Around 5:45 a.m., two suspects gained entry by breaking a glass front door at the Sears Home Centre on Tolmie Avenue, just north of Mayfair Mall. The men stole several 55” Panasonic TVs and Dyson Vacuum cleaners, said Saanich police Const. Maksym Vartanov. The suspects escaped in a silver Ford Ranger before police arrived. One of the men is described as Caucasian with a medium build and height and short, light brown hair. He was wearing a black baseball hat, black jacket, black pants, white running shoes with an insignia on the side and black gloves at the time of the theft. editor@saanichnews.com

The coding revolution Gordon Head students participate in global Hour of Code this week Travis Paterson News staff

Hillcrest elementary school students Shreya Sivakumar and Alexander Gwillim set a stack of plastic cups and paper instructions on a table. Then they work out their roles for the upcoming exercise. “I’ll be the robot; the robot stacks the cups,” says nine-year-old Gwillim, in Grade 4. “No, I’ll be the robot,” says Sivakumar, smiling as the Grade 5 student pulls rank and age over Gwillim. As Gwillim sets about drawing instructions for Sivakumar to follow, the pair are happily to confuse work with play as they prepare for today’s international Hour of Code, a 20-hour program where kids can learn the basic principles of code be redesigning portions of popular video games like Angry Birds and Flappy Bird. “This is an algorithm that tells (Sivakumar) how to stack the plastic cups into a tower,” Gwillim explains. “She has to pretend she’s a robot (to perform each step).” The “unplugged” exercise is designed to mimic the basic, logical steps used in computer programming. Today’s Hour of Code begins at 1 p.m. and is part of Computer Science Week at the school. Every Grade 4 and 5 Hillcrest student will participate today through Seattle-based code.org, which promotes the Hour of Code as a way to get kids excited about a career in computer programming. The public nonprofit hopes to expand participation in computer science by making it available in more schools, as well as increase participation by women and underrepresented students of colour. “I introduce it to students to open their minds, so they will think of themselves not just as users of technology but also as creators,” says Lorraine Powell, Hillcrest’s teacher-librarian with a special focus on technology integration. In less than two years, Powell says she can see the difference learning code makes in the way kids look at things.

Travis Paterson/News staff

Hillcrest elementary students Alexander Gwillim and Shreya Sivakumar work through their 20-hour computer code program ahead of today’s international Hour of Code, which begins at 1 p.m. The challenge group students are halfway through the 20 hours and will assist other Hillcrest Grade 4 and 5 students who are starting today.

“(Students) think of themselves not just as users of technology but also as creators.” - Lorraine Powell, Hillcrest elementary teacher-librarian “Going ahead, I think understanding how code works will become something that’s necessary to succeed,” she says. Hour of Code is touted as the largest learning event in history, and has grown exponentially in size thanks to the advent of social media. Hillcrest was one of the first three Vancouver Island schools to register, which now includes a longer list, such as Gordon Head middle school, St. Michaels University School, Esquimalt

Gwillim and Sivakumar are Powell’s challenge class and are already halfway through the 20-hour curriculum provided by code.org. They’ll be on hand with the rest of the challenge class members to assist Hillcrest Grade 4 and 5 students doing code today. “All the Grade 4 and 5 students will do the 20-hour program, some just haven’t started yet,” Powell says. “Obviously diving into HTML at this point is too complicated for children but the interface on Hour of Code is very inviting for the kids.” Users fit together a series of blocks, each with a specific instruction, which tell their video game how to work. They can then control the character. Other unplugged examples include board games in addition to the tower building with plastic cups.

Colquitz kids tell police to ‘cram’ it

29 LB

Students and staff at Colquitz middle school are aiming to stuff a police cruiser full of toys, food and cash for the Burnside Gorge Community Asssociation tomorrow. The inaugural Cram the Cruiser is the brainchild of Saanich Police Department’s school liaison officers, who wanted to engage with students and do some good during the busy holiday season, said Grade 8 student Connor Irvine. “Const. (Dani) Frohloff put the challenge up to us and we all had a meeting with our class reps,” Irvine said. “All 15 classes are going to have a box we’re going to try and fill up,” said Emily Worsfold, 12. Irvine, Worsfold and Megan Sto-

rey, 12, are part of the team organizing Cram the Cruiser, which will receive one last push tonight during the school’s annual winter concert. “Colquitz itself, we love giving back to our community,” said Storey. “I’ve been volunteering at Burnside Gorge for the past three years, where all the stuff from our cruiser will be going into Christmas hampers for families. We know some families can’t afford it and we want them to have a cool Christmas, too.” Principal Gord Mitchell gave credit to his students, who consistently fundraise and most recently donated 400 items of food to a local food bank after their Halloween dance. “The goal is to cram the cruiser so that it actually all won’t fit,” Mitchell said. Cram the Cruiser takes place Thursday at the school. editor@saanichnews.com

Kitchen Scraps Diversion

JAN

2015

One New Year’s resolution we’ll all be making. A full disposal ban on kitchen scraps at Hartland landfill takes effect January 1, 2015. The ban will divert compostable items like vegetables, meat, bones, grains, dairy products, fruit and soiled paper that currently take up thirty percent of the landfill. At the same time, diverted kitchen scraps will significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and will be processed into beneficial compost. So contact your waste hauler or municipality directly, plan for collection options and make a note on your calendar. Then we can all look forward to a happy, more sustainable New Year!

OUR VIEW

Holiday happiness at the food court A trip to one of Greater Victoria’s shopping centres in December is a strangely exhausting experience for something purported to be so satisfying. But amongst the bustle of gift-buying, Santa queues and the full-court press at the food court, there are still sometimes gems of wisdom to be found. An employee at a particular Greek cuisine vendor was overheard this week not only encouraging his colleagues, but wishing customers well as they rushed by. A cynic might safely assume this employee was simply attempting to drum up business, but one of his responses cut through the holiday madness like a carving knife through gyros meat. “We see a lot of materialism here every day,” he said to an inquisitive customer. “What people need to realize is that happiness doesn’t come from outside; it’s found inside.” The zen-like employee then spooned a dollop of tzatziki sauce atop a finished greek wrap before slapping his spatula back onto the counter in preparation for the next order. Stunned, the customer scooped up his lunch and floated back into the sea of scurrying customers, enormous plastic bags widening his gait. Perhaps the food service sage had Aristotle top of mind when he put on his uniform that morning: “Durable virtue will belong to the happy man, and he will be happy throughout his life, for he will always opt for virtuous acts and thoughts and he will bear the hazards of life with nobility and live beyond reproach.” It would be Grinch-like not to take the Greek guru’s lesson to heart this holiday season. Rather than rush about with a checklist and timer, make some real connections with family, friends, co-workers and, perhaps most surprisingly, a minimum wage mall employee tasked with handling the stressed out Christmas crowds. It just might spark the reason for the season. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@saanichnews.com or fax 250-386-2624.

Re: Nisga’a prove critics wrong, B.C.

Not noted is that Supreme Court rulings can be, and not infrequently are, overturned. Fletcher, unlike many of us, may never have learned “that two wrongs don’t make a right.” The first long-standing wrong at issue is the sorry treatment of aboriginals in both B.C. and across Canada. Despite significant improvements over recent years, more remains to be done. The second wrong is that the Supreme Court of Canada ruling now enables a new layer of government in B.C. What’s been created is a “landed gentry” of sorts who’ve in effect received Supreme Court authority to exercise sovereign powers, and they now plan to establish multiple export-enabling LNG terminals on the B.C. coast.

The old adage that “there’s only one taxpayer” could, with Nisga’a concurrence remain a truism. It’s based on the realization that whether for services provided by local, provincial or federal governments, most voters and elected leaders have long recognized that it’s the voting taxpayer who, over time, determines both government

funding levels and program priorities. Unanswered questions include: Will this aboriginal “parallel state” acknowledge a responsibility to – within its anticipated capability – participate as a fully functional entity within our national federation? Will it fund a portion of the many provincial and federal government services it now receives? Will it commit to creating and funding its selfdetermined unique government service programs? Historical antipathy between First Nation, local, provincial and federal agencies indicates a need for strong but flexible leadership at all four governmental levels. In seeking a comprehensive governmental rebalancing, we’ll hopefully avoid historically based emotional rhetoric supporting retributive rationale if we’re to minimize (costly) long-term confrontational negotiations. In B.C., our often-envied Canadian cultural mosaic is at risk of becoming a dysfunctional and tattered societal quilt. Ron Johnson Saanich

Eighteen-month-old Elijah Paterson contemplates a set of 100,000-year-old woolly mammoth tusks at the Amazing Traveling Dinosaur Show, which ran Dec. 3 to 7 at Uptown Shopping Centre in Saanich. The display featured fossilized skulls of juvenile Tyrannosauras Rex and Allosaur, and allowed visitors to handle many of the fossils, such as an adult T-Rex claw and veterbra. Partial proceeds from the show were donated to the Island’s Help Fill a Dream Foundation, which assists kids with life-threatening illnesses and their families.

SPECIAL SOUVENIR EDITION

Fond farewell A new chapter for

Frank Leonard

hether it’s his passion for protecting agricultural land and creating new parks, his deep commitment to Saanich’s outdoor festivals and family-friendly activities, or his careful stewardship of issues both local and regional, outgoing Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard will truly be missed. Born in Vancouver in 1954, Leonard’s family lived in Richmond and Vernon before moving to Saanich in 1969. A graduate of the University of Victoria, Leonard worked the family business and managed Victoria Tire Ltd.’s three Kal Tire stores prior to his election as Mayor in 1996. “Over the years, I’ve always admired Frank,” said Saanich Coun. Susan Brice, both a former mayor of Oak Bay and MLA.

“He’s so strategic, so highly respected, no matter where you go, provincially or with the FCM [Federation of Canadian Municipalities]. You say you’re from Saanich and people say, ‘Oh you’re lucky to have Frank.’” Leonard’s sharp understanding of finances and policy has served as a “great underpinning” to his political career, Brice said. “He’s always been one for making sure the fundamentals are intact, not just the showy stuff. It was with particular pride that we were able to secure the Haro Woods, Panama Flats and Blenkinsop Lake properties very much for the future legacy of Saanich,” Brice said. “Frank has an amazing sense of responsibility to Saanich.”

rior to entering politics, Leonard served as a Director of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce, President of the Victoria Chamber of Commerce and on the boards of local tourism and economic development groups. Leonard’s tenure as an elected official saw him chair the Union of B.C. Municipalities, the Municipal Finance Authority and serve as a trustee on the B.C. Municipal Pension Board. “We’ve got a higher credit rating

than the Province of British Columbia,” Leonard liked to say with a smile while on the campaign trail earlier this year. While he hasn’t yet decided what his next career will be, Leonard is looking forward to the next chapter in the private sector. “Wherever he ends up, he’ll land firmly on his feet, I’ve no doubt,” said former Oak Bay mayor Christopher Causton, who considers Leonard a friend.

Frank Leonard rappels off a crane to cut the ribbon and mark the opening of a new training centre at Saanich Firehall No. 2 in September 2010.

Frank Leonard stands in Haro Woods, a swath of forest in Cadboro Bay that the municipality took on as new parkland in a deal with the Capital Regional District after years of controversy. “This is a win-win that preserves woodland for generations to come,” Leonard said when the District took ownership in 2013.

“Frank Leonard was instrumental in securing a number of major agreements with the federal and provincial government including the Federal Gas Tax agreement that is delivering $4.3 billion to B.C. for local infrastructure. Every community in British Columbia is benefitting from that agreement. Frank is a gifted communicator. He can get to the heart of the issue in a word or two. He shares his ideas in such a manner that everyone understands him. I would also add that he has an excellent judgment, which is why as recently as last year UBCM invited him to participate in a Select Committee on local government finance. Local government in B.C. will miss him.” – Sav Dhaliwal, UBCM president and Councillor, City of Burnaby

Trio of Braves named to Island All-Star game Christian J.

STEWART

>BRAVESBEAT

@cjs_photography

Despite a pair of losses to the Victoria Cougars and Peninsula Panthers last week, the Saanich Braves had a wealth of positive news to report, first and foremost, that their annual Pink in the Rink fundraiser last Friday night brought in more than $1,167.45, all of which was donated to the B.C. Cancer Foundation Victoria chapter through the Island Breaststrokers paddling team for breast cancer research. The Pink in the Rink game against the Panthers saw the Braves outfitted in special pink jerseys that were auctioned off during the game and presented to the winners following the final buzzer. Saanich Mayor Richard Atwell was also on hand to perform one of his first ceremonial duties since taking office, dropping the puck to begin the game, along with cancer survivor Kim Lapshinoff, aunt of Braves forward Evan Horvath. The seventh annual event was a huge success, even if the Panthers did put a damper on things by scoring four third-period goals to take a 5-2 victory over the Braves. Looking ahead, three Braves players have been selected to

participate in the 2015 Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League All-Star Game in Comox on Jan. 18, Nyshan Basra, Seamus Maguire and Jack Rachwalski. Basra is putting together a fine season for the Braves as the leading scorer with 15 goals and 13 assists. He has scored points in 11 of his last 13 games, including a hat-trick against Oceanside on Nov. 26. Maguire, who rejoined the Braves earlier this season from the Junior A Flin Flon Bombers, has six goals and five assists in 14 games. Rachwalski, a high-energy forward in his second full year with the Braves, has five goals and 10 assists in 29 games. Meanwhile the Braves are in the bittersweet position with a trio of players enjoying success at the BCHL Junior A level this season. In particular, forward Nick Guerra will no longer be with the Braves as he signed on full-time by the Nanaimo Clippers and will finish the season there. Until recently, Guerra was splitting his time between the Braves and Clippers. Guerra totalled 45 points in 37 games with the Braves over the past two seasons, including nine goals and 11 assists in 17 games this year. Hunter Atchison is hoping he can catch on in the BCHL as he is back from an extended callup with the Trail Smoke Eaters, where he notched two goals and an assist in nine games with the team. Defenceman Connor Birmingham has seen action in four games this season for the Chilli-

wack Chiefs so far. With the two losses last week, a 7-1 defeat at the hand of the Victoria Cougars last Thursday in addition to the Pink in the Rink loss, the Braves record moves to 8-16-0-5, fourth in the South Division. This week the Braves are away for three road games, beginning tonight (Dec. 10) against the Westshore Wolves, 7 p.m. at The Q Centre. Next is a trip to the always tough “Brindy” on Friday, versus the Campbell River Storm. On Sunday the Braves complete the road trip with a game in Mill Bay against the Kerry Park Islanders, which is a make-up game from a cancellation in early November. - Christian J.

Seaplanes coming into Victoria, the Black Ball Coho Ferry and the Seattle-bound Clipper combined have a higher economic impact than the entire arts and culture sector in Greater Victoria, according to a local expert. Brock Smith, a business professor at the University of Victoria, conducted a study on the economic impact of Harbour Air Seaplanes, West Coast Air and Kenmore Air in Victoria. Smith has previously done studies on the Clipper and the Coho. Direct spending of seaplane operations, such as fuel and employee expenses, and the multipliers accounts for $8 million. Spending in the city by seaplane passengers generates almost $63 million in net income. In total, the economic impact is $70.1 million, said Smith. He said about half of the seaplane passengers coming into Victoria are business travellers coming over for meetings; the other half are

tourists. On average, seaplane passengers spend $272 per visit when they come to Victoria. “But about half of them are spending very little because they’re not staying overnight, and the other half are spending quite a lot, on average close to $500 per stay,” said Smith. Smith added that if there was a way to get day-trip passengers to stay overnight, it would generate significantly more revenue for the city. In a survey, Smith asked business travellers if they would come to Victoria even if there was no seaplane service, and 16 per cent of them said they would not come. Around 27,000 Harbour Air seaplanes land and take off in Victoria every year, said Randy Wright, executive vice-president of Harbour Air. In addition, he said there are close to a quarter million passengers every year. “It has gone up a bit, with tourism being the main component of that,” Wright said. “Tourism was much better this year.” editor@saanichnews.com
