Saanich fares better, but kitchen scraps solution up in the air Christine van Reeuwyk Black Press
An Island solution for regional kitchen scraps is on hold while Capital Regional District directors wait to discover if processing organics and sewage waste at a single facility is feasible. Saanich’s organic waste continues to be trucked to Cobble Hill each week for processing, while scraps from Victoria, View Royal, Esquimalt and Sidney are being barged to Harvest Power in Richmond. Last fall, the CRD put out a request for proposals for a regional kitchen scraps site and facility and have since received 15 proposals. But on March 11, CRD staff suggested a “pause on the process” until a market sounding on available technology for sewage processing – with potential integration of kitchen scraps – is completed in May. “When we get that report from staff, we’ll see what’s changed since 2007, because that’s the last time a market sounding of any kind was
done,” said Saanich Mayor Richard Atwell. “We don’t’ know what it’s going to look like.” Hartland landfill banned all organic waste at the beginning of 2015, which spurred the CRD board last fall to look to “establish a processing society in the region or in proximity to the region.” Staff expect the latest market sounding – put forward by Saanich Coun. Vic Derman multiple times over the years before it was successfully passed – to look at how residual solids from liquid waste could be integrated, treated and harvested for energy in combination with kitchen scraps. Central Saanich has experienced firsthand the issue of biosolids processing on farmland. Foul smells caused the CRD to pull the food scraps licence for Foundation Organics in 2013, but the facility has since been permitted to process yard waste only.

Twin fighters ready for battle Travis Paterson News staff
Coming off a strong debut in mixed martial arts, Saanich’s Lopez twins are going back to boxing this weekend as Pearkes Arena hosts “Resurrection,” a night of box-
ing and kickboxing. Brothers Peter and Paul are not Saturday’s headliners – that distinction belongs to B.C. heavyweight champ Aaron Downey vs. national WBC champion Ken Huber – but the identical twins are Saanich’s biggest
draw, as the 19-year-old Reynolds secondary grads bring an energetic style to the ring. “MMA was always the goal we started with, but we just want to be opportunistic and take whatever comes,” said Peter, the elder brother by five min-
utes. “Whatever presents itself, we’re not overly picky. We just want to improve.” The siblings live at home in the BurnsideGorge neighbourhood. PlEASE SEE: Lopez twins, Page A17

The District of Saanich is ending its use of Spector 360, an employee monitoring program installed in December on several District computers that was the catalyst for an investigation by the B.C. Information and Privacy Commissioner. A statement provided to the News by interim CAO Andy Laidlaw confirmed the District “will not be using the program again”. Laidlaw said he will act on any recommendations made by the privacy commissioner in a report expected later this month. The District incurred expenses totalling $2,199 (U.S. dollars) for the software, and did not approve invoices of $29,500 and $43,992 that were sent on Jan. 14 by SpectorSoft, the company that sells Spector 360, Laidlaw added. editor@saanichnews.com
For the record
The March 13 story “Municipal computers hit by virus Monday” contained incorrect information. The District spent a total of $2,199 (USD) on the Spector 360 software program, and was only invoiced for a further $29,500. The News regrets the error.

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF
Parish rector Richard LeSueur displays the contents of a 64-year-old time capsule found by Story Construction workers behind the cornerstone of St. George’s Anglican Church in Cadboro Bay last week. The cornerstone was removed during renovations for the church’s new $1.2 million welcoming centre. The capsule, a clear glass bottle, contained a copy of the Victoria Daily Times front page from April 21, 1951, a series of coins from 1 to 50 cents, and a pair of Sunday service bulletins from that year.
Count tallies 17 billion blooms
Residents of Greater Victoria counted a staggering 17,257,368,541 blooms for the 39th annual Flower Count this year, smashing last year’s snow-affected count of approximately 1.4 billion. Taking place during some unusual weather conditions – which saw most of Canada locked in polar vortex-like weather of chilling temperatures – regions of Greater Victoria continued to experience unseasonably mild conditions with temperatures reaching highs of 17 C during the flower count. “Flower Count is a key community event that we are happy to support,” says Paul Nursey, president and CEO of Tourism Victoria. “Our climate in the spring differentiates our destination from others and attracts tourists from all over the world.” The highest Flower Count on record took place in 2010, when 21 billion blooms were counted. Each year, the regional municipalities go headto-head, with residents submitting counts for their city. The winner of the Bloomingest Community for the second straight year was Colwood. Oak Bay and the Township of Esquimalt came in second and third place respectively. “Engagement on social media was quite high this year and there were some really stunning photos of plum and early cherry blossoms put out there,” said Scott McDonald, spokesperson for The Butchart Gardens, who sponsor the event.. “People really seemed to be having fun with the count against the backdrop of the warm temperatures and early spring. editor@saanichnews.com

Hidden time capsule delights church Documents reveal former Lieut. Gov. Clarence Wallace attended 1951 ceremony Travis Paterson News staff
The discovery of a buried time capsule has opened a window to the past for members of St. George’s Anglican Church. The 64-year-old glass bottle was found underneath the original church’s cornerstone during construction of a $1.2-million addition to the Cadboro Bay church, said parish rector Richard LeSueur. “The cornerstone marked the current church, which was built in 1951, but there was nothing to indicate a time capsule of any sort,” LeSueur said. The small glass bottle containing the items broke during construction, but its goods remain intact. The largest item is a cover of the Victoria Daily Times from Saturday April 21, 1951, two days before the cornerstone was put in place. The bottle also had a handful of Canadian coins embossed with the head of King George, bulletins from Sunday services – one from April 22, 1951, and one from the current church’s sod-turning ceremony earlier that year, which featured B.C.’s Lieutenant Governor Clarence Wallace, who was also a shipbuilder.
“The fact that Wallace actually partook in the sod turning is interesting, the interfacing of church and state we don’t see now,” LeSueur said.
“We have a growing congregation size, and are growing in programs and outreach.” - Richard LeSueur, St. George’s Anglican Church rector Despite the downsizing of the B.C.’s Anglican diocese in recent years, in which many smaller churches were closed, St. George’s is actually expanding in more ways than just its new $1.2-million narthex, or welcoming space. “We have a growing congregation size, and are growing in programs and outreach, with a lot of success through our University of Victoria and young adult program,” he said. LeSueur arrived at St. George’s five years ago, after stints in Calgary, Jerusalem, New York and other cities. He was quickly brought up to speed on the parish’s plans for the welcoming centre, which were initiated by Logan McMenamie, the
current Anglican Bishop for the diocese of B.C., when he was rector at the parish 10 years ago. The narthex is being erected on the south side of the 1951-built church structure, and will introduce a new entrance area and multi-use program space, as well as facilities such as a kitchenette, commercial size men’s and women’s washrooms, an accessible washroom, an exterior patio and ramp for accessible access, and an overall seismic upgrade to the facility. “The narthex, historically, was a simple entrance, the space between community and worship, and they weren’t as large as they are now,” LeSueur said. “We’ve moved architecturally from the stained glass and ‘dark cave’ place of worship to the clear glass, and natural light. But we harvested all our stained glass and will suspend it in the new space, but without blocking any light.” Construction is due to finish this summer. On Sept. 23, LeSueur plans to re-install the old cornerstone with a new one. He also wants to include a new time capsule and invites the community to submit ideas by calling the parish at 250-472-2090. reporter@saanichnews.com

Hartland landfill in Saanich banned kitchen scraps waste in January.
Next steps unclear on kitchen scraps fix Continued from Page A1
Central Saanich Mayor Ryan Windsor said he’s worried the diversion of kitchen scraps to off-shore locations will continue for years if a solution is wrapped up in a sewage treatment facility. “It’s fairly obvious when the proposal of combining biosolids with other scraps and creating a soil … the community responds in a way that is not positive, to put it lightly,” Windsor said. “But I’ll wait to see the report back in a couple months.” It’s a stance the CRD too has taken in the past, vowing not to allow biosolids processing on land. “There seems to be a clear policy that we’ve taken as a board that it
not be done in this region,” said CRD board chair and Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen, adding it would be a collision of policies to change now. “Before we can even consider that, we would have to go back and revisit a policy which was already revisited twice.” Once a sewage market sounding is complete, the next step for organics processing would be a shortlisting of proposals. Staff presume a couple months is within reasonable timelines to respond to those who submitted the 15 proposals. “I would rather see us move forward sooner rather than later. … Operators may not be so keen down the road,” Windsor said. -with a file from Daniel Palmer editor@saanichnews.com

Victoria could Saanich police board go its own way goes digital – finally on sewage, not ‘chase money’ Daniel Palmer News staff
Federal, provincial funding shouldn’t dictate plan, says Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps Andrea Peacock Black Press
Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps is open to giving up government funding for a regional sewage treatment plan if it means finding opportunities for cheaper technology and different sites. The City of Victoria is working to make a sewage treatment plan work with the CRD, but it is still keeping its options open, said Helps. The city is not only contributing to a region-wide solution, but it is also looking into a Victoria-only option. “My preference is that we can get along with our neighbours and find a way to bring this project to completion in a collaborative and forward-looking way,” said Helps. At the same time, I am committed to finding a solution that is cost-effective and long term. We’re keeping our options open.” This may mean giving up the government funding. “There are a lot of restrictions that come with certain pots of funding, and I would like to try to meet those, but at the same time, we’ve got to be realistic. Do we chase money, or do we create long term, cost-effective solutions?” “We’ve got to truly be open to things that we might not have thought of before in terms of sites or conveyancing. If we can come up with cheaper technology, different sites, less conveyancing, the project itself may not cost that much.” The CRD extended a completion timeline for sewage treatment to 2023 or 2024 last week; however, $253 million from the federal government and $248 million in provincial funding are contingent upon strict deadlines. The federal government has previously said it would push a 2020 compliance deadline by 12 months, but only if the CRD meets certain conditions within a year including having all sewage sites finalized. “I think we can get things done before then, if only because we have to,” said Helps. There may be opportunities to shorten the timeline, including in the procurement and construction processes, said CRD chair Nils Jensen. “There’s never a guarantee when you have seven communities around the table trying to wrestle with a very complex issue and moving parts.
Saanich Police Board is moving into the 21st century by becoming most likely the last police agency in B.C. to post its agendas and minutes online. The documents began appearing on saanichpolice.ca on March 5 and date back two months. However, the agendas still lack attached reports and Saanich Mayor other docu- Richard Atwell. ments that are otherwise available at public meetings. “That’s not good enough,” said Mayor Richard Atwell, chair of the Saanich Police Board. “For a large municipality like Saanich, we shouldn’t be the last in anything.” Atwell said the decision to post police board agendas and minutes was made before his tenure. Atwell did not know why the archives were backdated by only two months. “We should be leading the way in
most areas. I’m motivated to make this municipality as transparent as possible,” he said. Atwell has agreed to recuse himself from police board meetings when items arise related to two complaints he filed with the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner of B.C. in January. The first complaint asks the OPCC to investigate a possible conflict of interest arising from Saanich Police Chief Bob Downie’s investigation into spyware installation on several District computers. Downie concluded there was no criminal wrongdoing in the matter. The second complaint relates to information leaked to media in relation to a 911 call Atwell made in December while at the home of a campaign worker. The OPCC is still in the process of probing whether Atwell’s complaints warrant a full-fledged investigation. The OPCC did not return multiple requests for comment left over several days by the News.

SMUS brews controversy St. Michaels University School added another feather in its cap of athletic success by winning the B.C. high school basketball boys AA Championship in Langley last Saturday. But the resulting Blue Jags pride was tempered by a report detailing allegations of bullying and verbal abuse by SMUS coaches dating back to 2011 and released earlier in the day by the Toronto Star and CTV’s W5 investigation program. One of the more curious facets of this story at the local level is that the allegations – and the exhaustive follow-up investigations by the Ombudsman of B.C. Independent Schools, an independent investigator and the Teacher Regulation Branch – were not picked up by this paper and other media outlets in town. How did three years of what must have been the gossip of the school escape public scrutiny until now? SMUS Head of School Bob Snowden told parents in a March 16 letter that he chose not to respond to the latest media inquiries because they considered the matter closed and the allegations discredited. But by staying out of the spotlight, school administrators are potentially stoking a fire. The allegations by several former student athletes, even if completely fabricated, have launched a debate about two sets of rules for teachers: one that applies in a classroom, and another that applies on the court, pitch or rink. Are coaches free to act in ways and make statements that would otherwise warrant disciplinary action in a classroom setting? SMUS should be at the forefront of this discussion by talking about the notable steps they have taken as a result of the allegations: instituting a code of conduct for coaches, parents and students; bringing in a “coaches’ coach;” and reviewing their athletics program. These positive steps should be championed openly to assist administrators at other schools and help other coaches clearly identify when strong motivation could cross the line into bullying and verbal abuse. Snowden completes his letter to parents by stating “our priority always is and always will be to create an environment that fulfills the promise of our students.” The promise of at least several students, it seems, has been to call into question the school’s reputation in the country’s largest daily newspaper.

Auditor leak has Liberals bailing March has been a good month for the B.C. NDP, and it’s been a while since I’ve been able to say that. Opposition critics fired a shot amidships at the B.C. Liberal government when they began questioning the lack of progress by the new Auditor General for Local Government. This experimental vessel was launched in Premier Christy Clark’s leadership campaign, and two years after it set sail, it is listing, taking on water and in danger of sinking. The original idea was to expand the B.C. Auditor General’s office so it could check the financial performance of local governments too. Business groups were concerned about municipal taxes going up too quickly, with staff growing even as the province grappled with a hiring freeze. Mayors and councillors began to talk of mutiny over that plan, protesting that their budgets are already required to balance and are subject to annual audits. But this will be “performance auditing,” Clark insisted, not just making sure the figures add up. It will determine the public is receiving “value for money” on projects like arenas and services like police, by comparing different communities’ results. A new AGLG office opened in Surrey. The “value for money” promise is on the rocks. The government appointed a quasi-independent board (hello,
BC Ferries and TransLink) that hired chartered accountant Basia Ruta, a veteran of the federal Auditor General office who had also served as chief financial officer at Environment Canada and had done local government audits in private practice. NDP local government critic Selina Robinson started asking why this office has spent $5.2 million and produced Tom Fletcher only one audit out of a promised 18. B.C. Views Community Minister Coralee Oakes, a former Quesnel councillor in her first cabinet post, allowed that there had been some rough water but there is smooth sailing ahead. Then came a big leak, in the form of a “work environment review” of the good ship AGLG that was given to the NDP by a seasick crew member. It described chaos below decks, with “shifting priorities and unclear direction,” as well as “wasted time and work” and “inefficient use of consultant and staff resources.” Worse, the review noted a human resources monitor had been stationed at the office for most of January to maintain a “respectful workplace for all employees.”
“A peacekeeper,” as NDP leader John Horgan described the grim scene. “This is like we’re in Cyprus.” Then it was confirmed that when the AGLG board tried to conduct a performance review, Ruta’s response was to hire a lawyer. Ruta seems to be decisive when protecting her job, if not when hiring, running the office or meeting her own work targets. Whatever goodwill had been restored with local governments over this experiment is likely gone. Municipal staffers have been dealing with new auditor demands as their councils grind away at their own budgets, and now they see signs that what they have contributed may well have been swept overboard. Oakes remains on deck, eyes fixed on the horizon. An audit of capital procurement in Rossland is finally scheduled to be done by the end of March, she said. Similar reports on Delta and Sechelt are due in April. The latest revision of that schedule is underway, no doubt in another series of long, acrimonious meetings. Clark addressed the situation in her last question period before the legislature’s spring break this week. She didn’t have a lot to say about the AGLG’s voyage of the damned, mostly familiar rhetoric about “lower taxes, less red tape” and so on.

Elizabeth May: Why I’m fighting Bill C-51 The reaction to Bill C-51 has been widespread and the opposition is growing. While its short title is the “Anti-Terrorism Act,” it is both more and less than that. It is less than “anti-terrorism” because it is likely to make us less safe. The act gives new powers to the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) to act in Canada and overseas to “reduce threats,” with virtually no limits. CSIS is specifically not allowed to cause death or bodily harm or “violate the sexual integrity” of anyone. The range of potential activities -- from break and enter, search and seizure, infiltration, monkey-wrenching, include powers to offer witnesses immunity from prosecution or from ever having to testify. There is no requirement that CSIS tell the RCMP what it is up to, and it is the RCMP that has been successfully countering plots and arresting suspects. Just imagine when the RCMP finds key witnesses have a “get out of jail free” card from CSIS. That and other sections run a high degree of probability of gumming up the works. Security experts, especially those with experience in the Air India inquiry, remind us that it is critical that security agencies not develop silos. C-51 takes a system that is currently working quite well and threatens to turn it into a three-ring circus, without benefit of a ringmaster. It is also less than Canadians would expect as there is nothing in C-51 to work against radicalization. No outreach efforts, nothing for the prison system or the schools as the UK
government established in its new law passed in December 2014. It is more than “antiterrorism” as the Elizabeth May range of Guest View activities covered by a new and sweeping definition of “threats to the security of Canada” in the information sharing section of the bill cover far more than terrorism.
(C-51) is actually five bills rolled into one. Each part contains provisions I can only describe as dangerous. It could plausibly cover just about anything, and certainly would cover those opposing pipelines and tankers. It is actually five bills rolled into one. Each part contains provisions I can only describe as dangerous. For example, part 5, amendments to the Immigration and Refugee Act, appears to allow the use of evidence obtained by torture. Part 3 ostensibly about getting terrorist propaganda off the internet uses a set of new concepts that would criminalize private conversations – and not just about terrorism. The propaganda section does
not require knowing you are spreading propaganda, and “terrorist propaganda” itself has a definition so broad as to include a visual representation ( a Che Guevera poster?) promoting a new concept called “terrorism in general.” Experts are now referring to this as “thought chill.” As the first MP to oppose C-51, I now have a lot of company: four former prime ministers, six former Supreme Court justices, over 100 legal experts, Conrad Black, Rex Murphy, Tom Mulcair and the NDP, the editorial positions of the Globe and Mail, National Post and Toronto Star. The Assembly of First Nations has called for it to be withdrawn. I hope you agree as well. For more information, visit my non-partisan website elizabethmaymp.ca. Elizabeth May is the Member of Parliament for Saanich-Gulf Islands and leader of the Green Party of Canada.
Mayfair Lanes site needs density The site of the old Mayfair Lanes bowling alley has sat empty and silent since 2005. It is an important piece of property, situated between the two busiest transportation corridors in the region ( the TCH and Blanshard Street ) and identified in Saanich’s OCP as areas for increased density. A few years ago when I was on Saanich Council, two planners from Loblaws in Toronto came out to discuss the future of the site. I tried to convince them to not only build their Superstore, but to increase the density by adding maybe a couple of floors of office space above the
Rooftop Parking
store, and up to eight storeys of residential units. Their answer was that the company was only interested in a single-store configuration for that site, and so it sits to this day. Unfortunately, before I was elected to Saanich Council in 2008, a previous Council granted Loblaws a Development Permit for the site, meaning that future Councils could place few restrictions on the development, so Loblaws would be quite within their rights to build a store which would allow minor revisions to parking and siting only. Land cost is the single most expensive component of any construction, whether residential, commercial or industrial, and a single low-density store on that site is poor land use. The Douglas Street corridor is being upgraded for rapid bus use, with the prospect of LRT in the future. We need more commercial and residential density built on our major transportation corridors, for sustainability, vibrancy and to combat sprawl. There are many low-density sites on Douglas Street in Saanich and Victoria, and I hope that both municipalities start to implement the policies and guidelines set out in their respective OCP’s and the Regional Growth Strategy that pertain to land use and transportation connectivity.

the other party. That service will be offered free, and includes information and selfhelp suggestions to settle the dispute without further intervention. If that fails, the second stage would bring in a mediator to seek an agreed settlement of the dispute. The third stage would be sending the dispute to a tribunal member for arbitration. Fees for the second two stages have not yet been established. Tony Gioventu, executive director of the non-profit Condominium Home Owners Association of B.C., welcomed the new approach. But he cautioned there will be a learning curve for strata councils. “Education will be essential and CHOA is committed to working with the strata community to ensure the creation of a system that provides good justice in a timely manner that works for all strata corporations,” Gioventu said. The B.C. government has used mediation before in an effort to relieve the load on provincial and B.C. Supreme Court. The Family Law Act of 2011 was designed to encourage out-ofcourt settlements of property and parental responsibility disputes when marriages and common-law relationships end. editor@saanichnews.com

The latest federal subsidy for solar hot water heating systems, like this one installed on Saanich Coun. Vic Derman’s Lucas Avenue home, expire this month. Derman used a 1981 federal subsidy to install his device, which heats up water inside the black panels and transfers it to the home’s hot water tank.
Saanich homes go solar using CRD subsidy Travis Paterson News staff
A federal subsidy program that aims to increase solar hot water systems in the Capital Region is set to expire this month, but another 14 Saanich homes are now less dependent on electricity or gas. A total of 81 residents and businesses received subsidies between $2,500 and $4,000 through the Solar CRD program, a program that began in Colwood in 2011 and was later rolled out across the region. Saanich’s Mike Mcreesh had no intentions of installing a solar hot water system, but his contractor suggested he consider it during
recent renovations. “It kind of fell into my lap but it’s really worked out, I certainly recommend it to anyone,” said Mcreesh, who lives in the Quadra neighbourhood near Beckwith Park. “I can’t get over the growing number of total solar hours collected by the machine. I get a kick out of seeing it on the display screen of the unit, it’s quite substantial.” Depending on the size of the system, Solar CRD covered approximately a third of the cost of a solar hot water system, while commercial subsidies went up to $25,000 per application. Solar CRD’s grant program officially run out March 31, so it’s unlikely new applicants can take advantage this year. (March 20 is the deadline
to have the solar hot water system installed, functioning and licensed in order to ensure timely processing and payment of the Solar CRD incentives, said a Solar CRD spokesperson.)
re-creating the program, though Harris pointed out the CRD’s Tap by Tap program has expanded to provide multi-unit buildings with up to 3,000 units with free water
at his Lucas Avenue home in 1981. The efficiency of his system is a far cry from the latest
“We had enough money for 100 residential subsidies and reached 81.” -Glen Harris, Solar CRD “We had enough money for 100 residential subsidies and reached 81. So, for the most part, we’re happy with the success,” said Solar CRD’s Glen Harris, senior manager with the CRD’s environmental protection. “We also had a few commercial installations which we’re thrilled about.” At this point, there has been no discussion of extending or
and energy saving fixtures, such as shower heads and faucet aerators. Tap by Tap’s lowflow fixtures have made headway in reducing water use in the region, but the level of residential solar energy falls squarely on those willing to pay for the start-up cost.

technology but it’s a workhorse nonetheless, even in the winter, Derman said. “It was $4,000 back then with a 50 per cent ($2,000) subsidy from the federal government, which was trying to ease Canada’s reliance on oil due it’s high prices of the time,” Derman said. “Certainly I’d like to see incentive programs continue but not necessarily through the CRD, but the real trend is for the utility companies, in our case B.C. Hydro, to become managers of distribution systems, not just hydro companies, and practise in a more environmentally friendly manner.” Rather than homeowners paying thousands
of dollars for either a solar hot water system or solar voltaic panels (that tie into the grid), or both, some utility companies are installing them for free, a model Derman believes should be considered. “The homeowner orders it up and then pays it back on a 10 year schedule, or whatever it takes,” he said. “Instead of paying hundreds each month for electricity, homeowners pay a monthly bill for the equipment to (partially) supply their home with electricity and/or hot water.” There is an expectation in Texas that solar energy will be compete with natural gas next year, as the price of natural gas drops, partly due to the advancement of solar power. reporter@saanichnews.com

prints, which were collected like movie posters. Kabuki: Japan’s Dynamic Theatre in Prints runs through June 15 and features more than forty 19th and 20th century portraits of actors from the Gallery’s extensive collection, including works by masters of the Japanese wood print and painting art form, ukiyo-e. The AGGV is teaming with Pacific Opera Victoria to kick off the exhibition and welcome spring with an evening of opera, art and cocktails.

Allegations of bullying and verbal abuse by former athletes at St. Michaels University School (SMUS) dampened what should have been an unbridled celebration last Saturday, when SMUS won its first B.C. high school basketball boys AA Championship since 1992. A joint report by the Toronto Star and CTV’s W5 released March 14 detailed complaints from 13 former student athletes at SMUS dating back to 2011. The students allege SMUS coaches from both boys and girls teams would use profane language and berate them in public, among other allegations. SMUS Head of School Bob Snowden was not available for an interview on Monday, but in a March 16 letter to parents said the school saw “no purpose in answering allegations in the media that have been thoroughly and repeatedly investigated and discredited in four formal external processes.” Snowden said allegations of bullying, verbal abuse and unfair

Independent Schools, an investigation by John Sanderson, Q.C. – an independent investigator highly experienced in matters of abuse who was approved by all parties – and a comprehensive investigative process by the Teacher Regulation Branch, the government body responsible for the conduct of teachers,” Snowden said. On Saturday, SMUS alumnus and NBA star Steve Nash tweeted his support for his former coach, Ian Hyde-Lay, one of the coaches accused of abuse by students in the Star report. “Congrats to my high school SMUS and high school coach Ian Hyde-Lay for winning the BC AA Boys high school basketball championship!

(exclusions apply to Promotional, Clearance, “Special Purchase”, Signature Styles & Yarn products)
We wash our windshields when they are dirty, why not do the same for our glasses? Dirty, scratched, and misaligned glasses distort our sight, and increase glare problems. They do not, however, harm our eyes. Scratches may weaken the lenses’ resistance to impact. The following are some easy tips for proper Dr. Neil Paterson eyeglass care: • Clean your glasses regularly using warm Sutter water Dr. Suzanne and soap or special eyeglass cleaners to Optometrists remove oils and dirt from the lenses. 100glasses -2067inCadboro Bay not Rd.in use. • Keep your their case when • Never set glasses down with the lenses touching the table or counter top. www.oakbayoptometry.com • Put on and take off your glasses using two hands.

Rushforth* • Avoid letting others try on your glasses as this www.awopto.ca may throw off the alignment. *Denotes Optometric Corporation • Have your glasses readjusted periodically.

Lopez twins a big draw for Saturday fights
BETTER MEALS
Continued from Page A1
Their mom isn’t exactly thrilled with their desire to fight but supports their decision, and will likely be there to watch on Saturday, Paul said. Peter and Paul are currently the fourth- and sixth-ranked welterweights (147 pounds) amongst Combsport boxers in B.C. Paul is fighting the provincial champion, Leo Samerilli from Burnaby, while Peter is in a rematch with Scott Woodward, who aborted their last fight with a shoulder injury. “They really want to fight in MMA but I believe it’s better they learn as much about the sweet science of striking with the 10 ounce gloves of boxing than the four oz. of MMA, where you’re more vulnerable when you make a mistake,” said Jason Heit, their coach. Heit is constantly stressing the importance of learning as much as you can before going headlong into an amateur MMA career, including boxing. The twins are former Island high school wrestling champions from 2013 (they faced each other, reluctantly, in the gold medal final with Peter winning). Heit is co-promoting the Resurrection event with former world kickboxing champ and fellow gym owner Stan Peterec, who rarely lets a season slip by without putting on an amateur even in Greater Victoria. The twins have put a lot of faith in their Heit, owner of Island MMA, who represented Canada in boxing at the Pan Am Games

Saanich twins Peter, left, and Paul Lopez are scheduled to fight at the upcoming Resurrection, amateur boxing and kickboxing event, Saturday (March 21) in the Pearkes fieldhouse. before moving into MMA. In the final weeks leading up to Saturday the bros were completely focused on boxing but will return to training in the jiujitsu, grappling and wrestling aspects of mixed martial arts. But Heit isn’t keen on leading anyone into the ring who doesn’t have a well rounded plan. “They work hard in school and in the gym, which is what I want to see. As long as they’re doing that I’ll help them go as far as they want,” Heit said. Ideally, the twins would cut from their walking weight of just below 147 to the 135 lbs. class but they’ve had success so far, with Paul winning all three boxing matches he’s entered, while Peter is also undefeated with a win and a draw in his two fights. Back in November, the duo won their respective first MMA fights in the Battlefield Fight League
promotion in Coquitlam. The twins take one day off per week and spend the other day outside the gym running intervals at a local school, using a heart rate monitor to ensure they’re in the red zone. “We want to fight and we don’t want to wait,” Paul said. “We’re here (at the gym) five days a week, we’re eager.” Resurrection will also feature the a B.C. lightweight kickboxing title fight between Victoria athletes Tim Packer and Lucas Taylor, with Victoria’s Gee Pandher and Cody Sahlstrom also boxing, among others. Doors are at 6 p.m. Saturday, with fights at 7. Tickets are available at selectyourtickets. com, phone at 250-220-7777, or at Sports Traders, Island MMA/ Peterec’s Kickboxing and at Pearkes Arena. reporter@saanichnews.com
