A lifelong criminal who robbed the CIBC bank in Colwood to buy “cigarettes, beer, pot and hotel rooms� has been sentenced to 12 years in prison.

Originally set as a bail hearing on June 23 at Western Communities Courthouse, Lorne Rodway, 59, pleaded guilty to three armed robberies, three counts of wearing a mask with intent to commit a crime and one count of assault.

Rodway admitted to West Shore RCMP officers shortly after being arrested that he was the masked man who held up the same CIBC bank on March 2, April 9 and June 1 of this year, Crown prosecutor Susan Rupertus told the court. “At the West Shore detachment he admitted to all three robberies,� Rupertus said. “He said he does it because that’s what he does. He said it’s just business, nothing personal against CIBC or the tellers, it was just an easy mark because of the setup of the bank. “He said he spent the money on cigarettes, beer, pot and hotel rooms.�

The court heard that during the March 2 holdup, Rodway walked into the bank at 10:30 a.m. in a hoody, dark glasses and a dust mask, produced his black .375 Ruger revolver and pointed it at a female teller. He fled with about $8,000 in cash.

On April 9 he returned to the Colwood bank, this time masked in a red balaclava. “He pulled out a black revolver, pointed it at the teller and asked for money,� Rupertus said. “In that instance, it was (the teller’s) first day of training.�

Bank staff recognized the robber’s gruff and distinct voice, and said he was acting agitated and more aggressively than during the first robbery. He got away with $6,000 and ditched a hidden dye pack.

On June 1 at about 1 p.m. he returned for a third time. Clad in his balaclava and gun drawn, he approached a CIBC security guard outside the bank and told him to get inside.

Honouring a fallen friend Metchosin firefighters create memorial fund for chief’s daughter Charla Huber News staff

A deserving Belmont secondary student has become the first recipient of a scholarship honouring the late daughter of Metchosin’s fire chief.

Belmont graduate Cole Gagne has been awarded the $500 scholarship in memory of Delaney Dunlop, the daughter of fire Chief Stephanie Dunlop.

Delaney, 18, passed away last October after a year long battle with rhabdomyosarcoma, a cancerous tumour of the muscles.

She graduated from Belmont secondary in 2010 and was enrolled at

University of Victoria to study political science. During her senior year at Belmont, Delaney had applied and received scholarships for her post-secondary education. “Delaney loved school, she really enjoyed it,� Stephanie said. “She was an all around good spirit.�

Criteria for the scholarship is a Belmont student who enjoys education and is well respected in the school. The recipient of the scholarship doesn’t necessarily have to be on teams or clubs, or get the best grades, Stephanie said.

Gagne is a good fit for the award — he was voted by his peers as the 2011 graduating class valedictorian.

Like Delaney, Gagne is from Metchosin and he plans to attend UVic to study political science.

The fire chief presented the scholarship to Gagne, but noted she had no

part in the creation of the award.

Metchosin volunteer firefighters wanted to honour Delaney and create a legacy for her. After a unanimous vote among members, they created the Metchosin Firefighters’ Delaney Dunlop Memorial Scholarship.

The Metchosin crew surprised their chief with the kind gesture. “Delaney loved school and she would love this scholarship,� Stephanie said. “I was thrilled when they told me.�

News of the scholarship brought tears to Stephanie’s eyes, said Capt.

Jason Humphries. “We talked about doing something that would honour and be a legacy (for Delaney) and show support from the firefighters,� Humphries said.

Black bear wanders Colwood for food

Rec centre ramps up accessibility

Charla Huber

News staff

News staff

A hungry black bear was spotted making the rounds in Colwood last weekend.

Provincial conservation officer Peter Pauwels received multiple calls from the public about a bear wandering around yards and roadways in the Triangle Mountain area.

The bear was last reported on Betula Place knocking over and scavenging food from garbage cans Monday morning.

“I guess it’s garbage day up there,” Pauwels remarked.

The bear hasn’t approached anyone or appeared aggressive, he said.

As of Monday, conservation officers weren’t actively seeking the bear and were allowing it to leave the area on its own. The bear is average size, possibly 150 to 200 pounds.

“The bear is in a really busy area,” Pauwels said. “There is not a lot we can do. Right now it’s running around on the road, and there is no point in chasing it.”

Last week, residents reported a bear roaming the gravel pit area in Colwood.

West Shore RCMP Const.

Claudia Wytrwal said putting garbage out for pickup at night instead of in the morning helps draw bears into urban neighbourhoods.

“Once a bear eats garbage it’s now a fed bear,” Wytrwal said. “Then it knows there is buffet on the street.”

Along with securing garbage, residents are reminded to keep outdoor barbecues cleaned of fats and meats, and to lawns clear of fruits.

West Shore RCMP does not get involved in bear sightings unless the bear poses threat to the public.

If a bear is spotted do not approach it. Call conservation officers at 250-391-2225 or 1-877-952-7277.

Inconsistent sidewalks, a lack of automatic doors and poorly designed wheelchair ramps has made accessing West Shore Parks and Recreation a challenge for people with mobility problems.

But the recreation centre is correcting its haphazard accessibility around the main Juan de Fuca building thanks to a $75,000 grant from the federal government’s enabling accessibility fund.

Prior to this project, WSPR staff discovered, for instance, that a sloped sidewalk curb on one side of a crosswalk led to a high curb that wheelchairs, scooters and strollers could not navigate.

“Now, when you come to the curb, you can continue on in a seamless, barrier-free path,” said Bobbi Neal, community development coordinator for WSPR. The sidewalk from the bus stop on Island Highway to the administration entrance has undergone a complete overhaul.

“It’s an all new sidewalk with a curb cut (for wheelchair use),” Neal, said adding the sidewalk has been widened and shubbery cut back.

“When you want to promote alternative modes of transportation you want to make it as easy as possible.”

The administration entrance used to have two sets of stairs that needed maneuvering in order to enter, certainly a challenge for

West Shore Parks and Recreation is making its property more accessible. Bobbi Neal, community development coordinator, shows off a revamped sidewalk that was once a barrier. anyone in a wheelchair or with a walker. It had a tight, narrow wheelchair ramp into the administration area, but no automatic door button to get into the building.

Now the stairs have been removed and replaced with a sloping sidewalk, and the wheelchair ramp is widened and a door button installed.

“Wheelchairs and strollers are a lot bigger than they used to be 30 years ago,” Neal remarked.

In 2008, WSPR hosted the event “Disability for Day,” where municipal politicians and groups from across the West Shore took on the challenge of disabilities, includ-

ing using wheelchairs and being blindfolded to simulate blindness. They then maneuvered the grounds and made notes on areas that they found challenging to navigate and access.

“We had a list of obstacles identified from that day,” Neal said.

Through out the main building, automatic door openers have been added, helping people gain access to the curling rink and elevators. Neal pointed out there are many wheelchair curlers who use the facility, but there was no automatic door opener.

“We are looking at a more universal design so everyone can access (the facility) in a more user

friendly way,” Neal said. “We want to literally make it accessible from the time they arrive here to the time they leave.”

Recreation Integration Victoria and Intermunicipal Advisory Committee on Disability Issues (IACDI) have been working with WSPR to identify areas requiring improvements and overseeing the project.

“IACDI is extremely pleased to learn (WSPR) got the money to create more accessibility improvement,” said Marnie Essery, IACDI chair. “We are very we are very excited to build on existing structures and to be more accessible for people of different ages and accessibility levels.”

Capella’s giant crane gone from Bear Mountain Sam Van Schie News staff

The Bear Mountain skyline no longer includes a massive motionless crane.

Imported from Spain three years ago when construction of the first 26-storey tower in the Capella project seemed imminent, the self-erecting crane was

among the assets transferred to Bear Mountain Land Holdings Ltd. when the resort edged close to bankruptcy last year.

Capella’s former developer Robert Quigg had planned to use the crane, which can stretch up 500 feet, to put the top levels on Vancouver Island’s tallest high rise, a 44-storey building planned for the final stage of Capella.

He’d hoped to see a total of four high rises for the site, for 653 luxury condominiums, but the project never got past the first foundation.

Bear Mountain CEO Gary Cowan said the timing and development concept for the Capella land is still under review, but deemed it appropriate to sell the crane.

“A contractor in Langley purchased the crane and it has gone to the lower mainland,” Cowan wrote in an email to the Gazette.

Bear Mountain went into creditor protection in March 2010.

Court proceedings revealed the resort was more than $300 million in debt, mainly to HSBC bank, which took control of a majority of Bear Mountain assets last year.

The province will pay for more sheriffs to guard court rooms, reversing cuts imposed late last month that triggered a wave of trial adjournments and sparked strong criticism from judges and lawyers.

Attorney General Barry Penner said the government will restore the hours of 52 auxiliary and part-time sheriffs, which had been sharply reduced in late May, bringing back the equivalent of 34 full-time positions.

Penner ordered his staff to find more money within the ministry budget to cover more sheriffs after judges told him they were uncomfortable about the safety of court rooms in the wake of the reductions.

A hiring freeze in effect for the last couple of years has meant B.C. courts have lost more than 100 sheriffs to attrition prior to the nowreversed cuts.

Many departing sheriffs left for other higher-paying law enforcement jobs, said B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union spokesperson Dean Purdy.

“The security guard hesitated. At that point Mr. Rodway said, ‘Do you want to get f--ing shot?’” Rupertus said. “The guard didn’t move immediately so (Rodway) cocked the gun back to show how serious he was.”

Inside the bank, he menaced the same teller from the first robbery and indicated he wasn’t happy about finding an explosive dye pack the last time around.

He fled with about $4,000 after being in the bank for less than 30 seconds.

Meanwhile, the same guard had called 9-1-1 on his cellphone and trailed Rodway, at a distance, out the door. The guard was able to relay the robber’s car make and licence plate number to police.

Within minutes, three or four West Shore RCMP cruisers blocked in Rodway at the Shell gas station a few blocks away on Sooke Road. Police arrested him at gunpoint, and he didn't resist.

Rupertus said investigators found money, the gun and disguise in the vehicle, and Rodway quickly confessed to the other robberies during questioning at the West Shore detachment.

Custody may have come as sweet relief for the aging bandit — his health is failing and, as Rupertus pointed out, he has likely spent more time in behind bars than as a free man over the past 40 years.

Rodway was first convicted of armed robbery in 1973 and was sentenced 10 years. He was convicted and jailed again in 1983, 1989 and 1999 for a total of seven more robberies, and was paroled in 2004.

“Mr. Rodway has spent considerable time in custody, and to a degree he is institutionalized,” observed Rodway’s defense attorney Alex Tait. “Over the years, he has grown more “Over the comfortable in a federal years, (Mr. (prison) setRodway) has grown ting.” more comfortable Rodway, an alcoholic all in a federal (prison) his life, sufsetting.” fers from high blood pres–Alex Tait sure and heart Defense attorney problems, Tait said.

His client had five coronary bypass surgeries in 2004, he said, and faces another this year.

Tait agreed a 12 year sentence is fair due to the use of a weapon and trauma inflicted on people at the bank, but noted due to his age, his client may never walk out of prison again.

“He is a man who has lived a hard life and who faces a lengthy sentence,” Tait said. “Due to his health and the length

of sentence, he may never see the light of day.”

Provincial court judge Evan Blake agreed the 12 years recommended

by Crown and defense counsels is proportionate to the severity of the crimes. Blake sentenced Rodway for 12 years for each robbery, seven years on each charge of wearing a mask during a crime and four years for assault, all concurrent.

Wearing grey prison garb, with slicked back white hair and sporting an ample handlebar mustache, Rodway looked older than his 59 years. He observed the proceedings calmly from the prisoner's box in the courthouse and answered the judge’s questions in a clear voice.

Given the chance to speak, Rodway apologized for his crimes.

“I’d like to apologize for putting people at the bank, the security guard and tellers through the trauma. I wasn’t out to harm anyone, I was just there for the money,” Rodway said to the judge. “I do apologize for the trauma they suffered.”

It remains unclear if Rodway is responsible for, or suspected of, other bank robberies.

West Shore RCMP distributed an interagency bulletin with a photo of Rodway, his vehicle and weapon to police departments in Greater Victoria and across Vancouver Island, but have yet to hear any responses.

OUR VIEW

Finger-pointing on deer pointless D

eer overpopulation is a problem that has been brewing for decades in the Capital Region.

For most of those years, urban-dwelling individuals and families were thrilled to see nature up close and personal.

In recent years, however, that wonder has turned to anger, as deer find their way into gardens and gnaw away at flowers and other vegetation delicacies painstakingly cultivated by homeowners.

Outraged residents argue to local politicians, animal control staffers and the provincial Ministry of Environment that something has to be done. But the ministry claims it has no money to take action on the problem.

So whose problem is it, anyway? Is it the fault of the MoE, which is charged with managing wildlife in urban, rural and remote areas? Or the Capital Regional District animal control specialists, whose main function to this point has been managing the dog and cat populations?

We must come to grips with the fact that there are unintended consequences of keeping natural predators — mainly cougars — out of urban areas. People are safer, of course, but deer have been left to breed unchecked for years.

The province clearly has no appetite to organize a cull or relocate deer living in urban areas of B.C. Essentially it falls upon residents to take action, but not by arming themselves with various forms of weaponry.

As representatives of the region, the CRD board needs to listen closely to the electorate to see if it’s an important enough issue to spend money on.

If so, a committee could consult with say, conservation officers to come up with a localized business plan for the professional and humane reduction of deer population. The plan would then be presented to the MoE for approval.

Sure, there will be outrage from animal lovers, but if society is going to tolerate unnatural wildlife imbalances in urban areas, residents may have to stomach a cull.

Jean faced a challenge on that

The mutiny carried several messages. It told us that unspoken key parts of Harper’s program, such as privatizing health care, are directly opposed to majority and mainstream expert public opinion; and other policies, such as the Harper version of “tough on crime,” arguably trash science and expertise.

DePape’s revolt dramatized the “people-power” redirection of the political system, a movement that seems to be gathering strength and sharpening its edge.

Maybe it already has a keen enough blade to cut pieces out of the Harper program.

The revolutionary hardware is materializing in such agencies as auditors-general, such public enquiries as the Romanow health commission, and laws allowing citizen initiatives and recall of elected members of legislatures, plus reform in parliamentary representation, already enacted in most “democratic” nations.

The evolving growth of “peoplepower” is the current chapter in the story of our changing political system. It links us forward from the last big change in Westminster tradition, which burst on Britain in the early 19th century with riots and massacres and ended with the downsizing (not serious weakening) of control by a privileged elite.

If we think our present way of doing politics is comfortably wedged in place for all time, we are kidding ourselves. DePape reminded us of that fact. gemort@pacificcoast.net —G.E. Mortimore is a Langfordbased writer. Think About It runs every second week in the Gazette.

support by all the West Shore mayors for use of the existing E&N corridor for easing commuter traffic, BC Transit recommended the preferences of Victoria and Saanich for a corridor down Douglas street.

It's important to understand that the CRD votes by population size and/or budget size on all matters.

For now that means that Victoria and Saanich constantly overrule the West Shore on many matters related to our health and prosperity, and in particular matters of infrastructure.

Even existing committees on transportation under-represent the West Shore.

For example, with the recent proposal to have the CRD control regional transportation matters, nothing would change except that taxation to fund transportation infrastructure would be removed from BC Transit.

While this a good idea unto itself, the governance model, already dysfunctional from a West Shore point of view, remains so.

Alternatively, several West Shore mayors have suggested a three part structure wherein Saanich and the Peninsula, Victoria, and the West Shore each has the right to determine their transportation needs and costs, including tax levies. I call the current regional governance system “the past determining the future” and it is neither wise nor fair.

It's time to enter a new era of municipal collaboration with mutual respect for vastly different needs. An innovative regional transportation governance structure would be a good start. danspinner@westshore.bc.ca —Dan Spinner is the CEO of the WestShore Chamber of Commerce.

Jim Powell is correct to write that the Greater Victoria Public Library does not have a branch in View Royal.

However it was View Royal’s choice to join the GVPL via the City of Victoria branch and not to build a branch of their own. Of course, the citizens of View Royal are welcome to use any branch in the system.

Concrete plant remains a health worry Re: Concrete plant under fire, News, June 8, 2011.

I contacted the Ministry of Environment early 2010 and was advised that Tower Concrete was ordered to have an environmental impact completed last summer 2010 to determine if there was a health concern for residents of Langford.

The Ministry of Environment advised that the assessment was delayed to fall of 2010, and here we are 10 months later still waiting to determine if we are breathing dangerous particles.

Hexavalent chromium is a cancer car-

cinogen and is a concern with concrete manufacturing.

Langford should have the power to shut down or fine on a daily business any operation that is not compliant with local zoning.

Perhaps it is time for residents to rally to get the action that is required to ensure the wellbeing of our neighbourhood.

Speeders on Bear Mountain a menace I reside on Bear Mountain in a subdivision near the bottom of the steep hill.

During the past six months there have been at least six serious crashes on the downhill road, all requiring ambulances, fire trucks and police attendance, some with serious injuries.

All of these tragedies were caused by people simply driving too fast in a 50 kilometre per hour zone. The top to bottom distance on Bear Mountain is two kilometers and people driving at excessive speed stand to gain about 20 seconds before arriving on Millstream Road.

The cost of dealing with the carnage must be excessive.

I suggest the West Shore RCMP set up a regular radar surveillance near the bottom of the steep hill, at the Stone Gate

entry. Speeds of 60 to 65 km/h are not a real danger, but those who decide to drive their vehicles far in excess of those limits, to the tune of 100 km/h, are causing the crashes, nearly all of which are during daylight hours.

A few months of weekly radar checks could perhaps drive the point home to those who decide to risk their lives and the lives of other drivers in order to save a few seconds in travel time.

The monetary saving in terms of emergency vehicles would far exceed the cost of the check points, as well as save lives and injury related medical services.

As usual, a few irresponsible people have created an untenable situation that needs to be curtailed.

Hopefully, the police will consider establishing a strong presence in this area of current motor vehicle mayhem.

Sunglass Protection Sunglasses, clip-ons and tinted lenses are used to block out the glare of bright sunlight. They can also filter out ultra-violet (UV) rays. These rays are invisible to the eye, yet potentially harmful.

Ultra-violet is thought to be absorbed mostly at the corneal level. This is the cause of “snow blindness,” an extremely painful condition.

Recent evidence indicates that some UV may play a role in cataract formation and may also be one of the causes of macular degeneration.

Misconceptions exist regarding sunglass selection and protection. It is true that you can’t tell how much UV a pair of sunglasses is blocking by the color or the density of tint. This doesn’t mean that UV light is difficult or expensive to block.

An inexpensive pair of sunglasses that claims to block 100% of UV almost certainly does. The advantage of the more expensive brands lies in the quality of their optics and the visual comfort they afford the wearer.

To get the best advice about sunglasses talk to an optometrist.

Postal workers grudgingly leave picket lines Charla Huber News staff

The federal government has ordered Canadian Post employees back to work after a rotating strike and lockout disrupted mail service across the country.

“Everyone is glad to be back to work, it’s what we’ve always wanted to do,” said Janet Barney, Canadian Union of Postal Workers local 850 president.

Canadian Post employees who work in depots reported back to work on June 27 for the evening 3 p.m. shift. Letter carriers were scheduled to resume work Tuesday morning.

The federal government legislating a contract between CUPW and Canada Post has dangerous ramifications for workers across Canada, Barney said.

“With Stephen Harper stepping in, it’s unjust, it’s not fair,” she said. “This sends a sad message to all workers in Canada. The Harper government is very anti-worker.”

Many workers at the Canada Post depot on Station

Charla Huber/News staff

Canada Post employees spend Monday morning on the picket line before the lockout ended at 3 p.m. (Left to right) Effy Korkoras, Cathy Prentiss, Kim Hughes, Rob Pearce, Bernie Warbrick, Amber Kendall and Sue Wilson at Canada Post depot on Station Avenue in Langford.

Avenue in Langford said they appreciate NDP MPs staging a 58-hour filibuster in Ottawa to stall back to work legislation.

“Even though it was a lost cause, it was nice of them,” said Kim Hughes, a letter carrier from Langford.

Employees have returned to work under their old contract for the next 90 days.

During that time Canada Post and CUPW will submit potential contracts to an arbitrator.

One contact will be chosen.

“This is winner take all,” Barney said.

“This is binding arbitration with nothing in the middle,” remarked letter carrier Effy Korkoras.

Postal workers say they are frustrated that outtstanding problem remain in their workplace, issues that prompted the rotating strikes in the first place. Letter carriers talked about constant forced over-

time, understaffing and lack of breaks.

Prior to returning to work, employees heard rumours they would not be approved to work any overtime during the 90-day period.

With the backlog of mail, letter carriers say it’s going to take a long time for people to get their letters. People will be receiving items such as expired flyers and three weekold TV guides.

“There is a lot of mail in the system. We don’t know how to get all the stuff out,” Barney said.

“They’ve been holding back mail, there is no overtime, there is no extended hours and we are understaffed,” Pearce added.

As horns honk from passing vehicles, the postal workers on the picket line on Monday morning said they felt the support of the public.

One vehicle pulled over and gave the workers a bag of doughnuts and several coffees.

“This is the public that supports us,” Hughes said. “We are not federal employees, we are a (Crown) corporation.

The firefighters grew close to Delaney and got to know her well, as she was often at the hall volunteering and helping out when ever they needed a hand, said Capt. Eric Meredith.

Last fall while sick with cancer, Delaney organized the banquet and fire hall

events for the Bite Me Fishing Derby.

Delaney would help out at the fire hall when ever she could whether it was washing dishes or baby sitting children when needed. “She was always here,” Humphries said.

The scholarship will be awarded to a Belmont student annually and is for $500.

The money comes from the Metchosin Firefighters’ Society budget. The District of Metchosin puts money into the fund each year in lieu of payment to its volunteer firefighters.

Bringing his magic to the Belfry stage Young magician plans to wow Victoria crowd Edward Hill News staff

I pick the nine of diamonds and throw it back in Camilo Dominguez’s deck of cards. He shuffles faster than I can see.

He asks if my card is the 10 of hearts and I’m struck with worry – either he’s a lousy magician or I can’t remember anything beyond four seconds.

He flips the 10 card under the Bicycle playing cards box, and somehow, of course, it’s flipped into my nine of diamonds moments later. Even under the all-seeing eye of a video camera, it’s hard to spot the cool sleight-of-hand of the 21-year-old magician.

The young son of Colombia has come a long way since wowing students in the halls of Belmont secondary with his preternatural talent to make the cards dance.

Since graduating from high

school in 2008, he’s honed his magic show at the Havana Club in Vancouver and is launching his first professional performances in Victoria, tonight (June 29) at the Belfry Theatre.

“I’ve tried to move my magic to a different level,” Dominguez says.

“I use two projection screens and a camera so the audience can see the magic close up.”

He was drawn to sleight-of-hand as a child and attended the Bogota School of Magic as a teenager, before moving to Canada for high school. He learned the secrets of pulling rabbits from hats and sawing people in half, but he prefers the simplicity of a pack of cards.

“At Belmont I was challenging myself with the language and getting in front of people,” he says.

“Now it’s more about surprising the audience with two hands and a deck of cards.”

His four Belfry performances are titled “Continuum,” based on the theme of time and connections.

His setup is simple and intimate: chairs for him and an audience member, a table, a deck of cards and video projectors to make sure

Edward Hill/News staff

Belmont secondary alumni Camilo Dominguez returns to Victoria for four magic shows at the Belfry Theatre this week. the crowd doesn’t miss a beat.

“For Continuum, I do tricks that are a challenge in 10 seconds or 20 seconds, whatever the audience asks for,” he says. “It’s about surprising the audience and surprising myself. Each show I try to make it fresh, but a show is set by the mood of the audience.”

His parents are travelling to Victoria to see his show, the first time they’ve seen him perform outside of Colombia. That’s a big thrill, Dominguez says, and he hopes his friends from Belmont will also come out to see him on stage.

Dominguez says despite the thematics, every performance is differ-

ent and evolving. New tricks come during interactions with audience members and friends, many who just throw out odd ideas.

“My friends will say ‘make a card appear in a soccer ball or some different object,’” he says. “I go home and try to create it with the tools and skills I have.”

He is in his final semester of theatre production school at Studio 58 at Langara College in Vancouver, part of his larger strategy to make a career as a working magician. Understanding the nuts and bolts of stage management – lighting, sound, set design – can be as critical as stage presence. It all must come together before the cards come out.

“That is the most fascinating thing about magic. Anything you want, you can make it happen – with practice, of course.”

Continuum shows at 8 p.m. tonight and Thursday, and 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Tickets are $20, available at the Belfry box office or by calling 250-3856815. For more details, visit www. camilothemagician.com. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Leadership Building leaders. Building community.

Our mission is To develop, support, and celebrate leaders who are passionately engaged in building a vibrant community.

LEADERSHIP VICTORIA AND VANCITY:

Making connections for a stronger community

By Jennifer Blyth Black Press

From the perspective of first a participant and now a volunteer, Danella Parks knows first-hand about the many benefits of the Leadership Victoria program.

A member of the program’s 2004-05 cohort, today Parks remains involved through her role as Community Development Manager for Vancity in Victoria, and by volunteering her time and talents in various capacities, from recruitment and selection to the Victoria Leadership Awards.

“It’s about having an ongoing relationship with the community and seeing how all the different pieces can work together in so many ways,” Parks says, commending Leadership Victoria on the scope of the program. “Its breadth allows it to look at all aspects of the community and offers the opportunity to reach so many people across the community, bringing them together to work toward a common goal.”

Founded in 2000, Leadership Victoria is a community-based, voluntary organization committed to developing, supporting and celebrating outstanding community leaders. Over the last decade, it has become the go

Vancity’s Danella Parks (bottom row, far right) and her fellow Leadership Victoria participants from 2004 -2005. to organization for community leadership in Greater Victoria, graduating more than 230 leaders from diverse backgrounds who continue to work to improve their community, and facilitating over 40 community action projects that span a wide range of themes, issues and partnerships.

Leadership Victoria leads three essential initiatives: the signature ninemonth, experiential-based learning program; the annual Victoria Leadership Awards, in partnership with the Victoria Foundation, University of Victoria, Vancity and Rotary Clubs of Victoria; and special programming providing opportunities for key people

to gather and challenge conventional wisdom on pressing social issues.

Quite simply, “Leadership Victoria believes the community’s future is in our hands,” explains Ivan Watson, alumnus and Leadership Victoria’s Communications Director. “Because community leadership can be taught and learned, as a community we are accountable for developing emerging leaders and ensuring the current generation passes on its skills and wisdom to promising new leaders.”

As the community faces many challenges, experienced, trained leaders are required more than ever to tackle those challenges head on.

“Our program is designed to impact in three strategic ways: to equip individuals with the essential skills and knowledge of effective leadership; to benefit the community with an active network of engaged alumni; and to enhance leadership capacity in the workplace,” explains Jack Shore, Leadership Victoria’s Executive Director.

“Many employers sponsor staff to take our program and they’ve found that their employees return with increased practical skills, greater understanding of organizational challenges, stronger cross-sector networks and enhanced motivation gained as part of high performance teams.”

Such is the case with Vancity. Beyond Parks’ personal involvement with Leadership Victoria, Vancity is also involved at a corporate level, sponsoring staff as participants, making presentations, providing grant support for community action projects and community learning days, and sponsoring the Vancity Youth Award at the annual Victoria Leadership Awards.

In all, for participants, volunteers, mentors and corporations, the benefits are many.

“I invite anyone who is interested in Leadership Victoria to approach Jack (Shore) and learn about the many opportunities available,” Parks says.

Community Action Projects, 2010-11 Team Four Peace, with community partner South Island Dispute Resolution Centre Society Goal: To recommend strategies for delivering a conflict management/resolution program for elementary schoolaged students who are newcomers and may have language or cultural barriers.

Two events with community stakeholders first explored what was happening and needed, then emphasized interaction to create an action plan where participants can now share resources, skills and arrange cross-organization opportunities to strengthen services for the children.

Team Salmon – Bulldog Green Initiative, with community partner Belmont Secondary School & Climate Action West Shore Goal: To work with Belmont students to develop a sustainable, long-term recycling initiative.

By surveying those affected and studying similar programs elsewhere, a communication strategy was created to help students and faculty better understand the importance of recycling.

Team Eggplant – Youth Action for Homelessness, with community partner the Greater Victoria Coalition to End Homelessness Goal: To engage youth and raise awareness of issues surrounding homelessness in the Capital Region.

The team created a youth video contest, reviewed by high-profile judges, with prizes including laptops, educational bursaries, and scholarships for a local film school.

Vancity’s Maria McLeod, centre, and Team Fruit Salad

Team Fruit Salad – Growing the Good Food Box, with community partner the Capital Region Good Food Box Goal: To assist the Good Food Box to become a self-sustaining organization by securing one large or several smaller community agencies as long-term partners.

Aiming to establish the University of Victoria as a venue for the public to order, pay for and pick up Good Food Boxes, the group identified main stakeholders, established a working relationship between the Good Food Boxes and campus sponsor organizations, and promoted the service at UVic.

Security won’t be boosted in the lobby because the police department wants it to be an “inviting” place to engage the citizens of the community, Jantzen said, explaining that would be difficult to achieve behind a glass partition.

Edward Hill/News staff

Former Edmonton Eskmios kicker and Canadian Football Hall of Famer Dave Culter (left) has given the benefit of his experience to up-and-coming Belmont kicker Michael Peverelle.

Belmont football kicker learns craft from the best Edward Hill News staff

A young Belmont athlete is being touted as the next big talent in football kicking — and he has the backing of one of the best placekickers in Canadian football history.

As a kicker, defensive back and wide receiver, Michael Peverelle, 17, helped lead the Belmont Bulldogs varsity football squad to its best season ever last year, a 6-0 record and an Island championship.

Now the six-foot-three Grade 11 student has made Team BC as its kicker for the Football Canada Cup in Lethbridge, Alta., starting July 9. Peverelle is the sole kicker on the 40-player roster.

Send letters to the editor

“Michael has one of the best live legs for his age I’ve ever seen,” said Dave Culter, a kicker with the Edmonton Eskimos through the 1970s and 80s, and who is considered one of the greatest placekickers in Canadian Football League history, according to the Canadian Football Hall of Fame.

“Kicking is not an easy thing, there are a lot of mental aspects to it, but Michael has that in spades. He is very, very good now, and he will be great.”

Culter, who lives in Victoria, volunteered to help Peverelle prepare for Team BC tryouts, giving him the breadth of his football knowledge. Through his long career with the Eskimos, Culter won a number of honours for kicking and was on six

Grey Cup champion teams.

“I’m happy to pay it forward,” he said. “I got help as a kid too.”

Peverelle is grateful for the insight and extra help. A football player only since Grade 10, he is looking forward to representing B.C. “I like the pressure (of placekicking). The spotlight is on you,” Peverelle said.

Belmont football coach Kevin Harrington agreed that Peverelle was a huge asset to the Bulldogs and is looking forward to a team with depth next season.

“Mike is by far the best kicker on the Island and probably in B.C.,” Harrington said. “He has a huge leg. It’s a definite asset kicking off and the other team has to run it out of the endzone.”

Got a Question?

RIGHT OR WRONG? Q & A With Rosalind Uncommon sense for marketplace decisions with Rosalind Scott, Executive Director, BBB If you have a question or experience that you would like to share with Rosalind Scott please email rosalindscott@vi.bbb.org.

Q: Dear BBB, I recently saw a brochure with the BBB’s Top Ten Scams of 2010 listed. I was shocked to see that you had listed some normal, reputable industries as being rife with frauds and scams. This seems like an unfair generalization and didn’t make sense to me. In fact, you even have some BBB Accredited Businesses operating in a few of the industries that were noted in your Top Ten list. I am confused; this seems hypocritical and doesn’t make sense to me? ~ Confused Consumer A: Confused Consumer, You are WRONG to assume that the BBB’s Top Ten Scams list is an attack on ALL businesses within specific industries. The purpose of the Top Ten Scams list is to identify for consumers and business the top 10 scams that had the greatest impact in our region. Sometimes these scams contain information about obvious frauds (i.e. Nigerian Letter Scams, Foreign Lotteries), other times they contain information about ongoing unethical business practices by SOME businesses operating within a specific industry. The purpose of these Scam Alerts is not to paint all businesses in one industry with the same tainted brush, but to identify unethical business practices occurring by some businesses. In almost every industry or business category there are businesses operating legitimately and ethically, and businesses that are not. By “identifying the bad” the BBB is better able to emphasize the importance of doing business with reliable, reputable, trustworthy businesses (such as BBB Accredited Businesses, who have been screened and agree to abide by our Standards of Trust and Code of Business Practices).

Q&A with Joel Lowry The News talked to Joel Lowry, who was drafted 140th overall from the Victoria Grizzlies to the Los Angeles Kings on June 24 Born in 1991, Lowry was passed up at last year’s draft, his first year of eligibility.

Thanks to a successful B.C. Hockey League season, scoring 67 points in 42 games, the 6-foot-1, 180-pound forward earned the attention of the Los Angeles Kings.

Lowry was part of a unique draft for Victoria Western League and BCHL fans as Joel’s 1993-born brother Adam (6-foot-4, 187 lbs) was also selected on Friday, 67th overall to the Winnipeg Jets from the Swift Current Broncos.

Joel is headed to the Cornell Big Red of the NCAA for the 2011-12 season.

Even though (our) dad was there we never really talked about it. I actually went to the gym (near our Calgary home) and missed the beginning of the draft. I watched just in time to see my brother (Adam) and myself get picked.

Q: Your father Dave is an assistant coach with the Calgary Flames. What kind of interest did you get from them and how did it go compared to the Kings and other teams?

A: I know my dad talked to them about (Adam and I). A couple of other teams talked to me. Mostly I was (just) hoping there were teams interested. I never actually talked to Calgary.

Q: Only two current BCHL players were drafted. Were you surprised there weren’t more, considering your competition this year?

A: I was a little surprised.

Josh Manson (of Salmon Arm) was drafted (160th) but wasn’t even ranked. I was really expecting Destry Straight (Coquitlam) to get drafted after being so highly touted.

Q: Did you go to the NHL Draft in Minneapolis?

A: Adam and I didn’t go Adam was iffy about going.

Q: Have you talked to former Grizzly and future Cornell teammate Dustin Mowrey about what to expect this year?

Q: What was it like watching the NHL Draft?

A: It was both really exciting and relieving to have it over with. Sitting and watching, I was getting sick to my stomach. I don’t know how those (projected) first rounders do it when they slip (to lower spots) and don’t go so high.

A: I just talked to Mowrey for a long while the other day on what to do this summer to get ready. I’ll also know a bit more about how it’s going to go with the Kings in the next couple of weeks. I’m sure they’ll have high expectations.

Q: Have you talked to fellow Grizzlies who were talked about but weren’t drafted?

A: Madison Dias said he wasn’t expecting anything but I had my fingers crossed for him (and for Pearce Eviston).

They go back into the draft (just like Joel did) next year and I’m sure there’ll be more interest.

Q: Do you feel any added pressure going to your first training camp for the Cornell Big Red as NHL property?

A: You still have to earn your ice time going in (to camp).

There’s already a few guys who’ve been drafted and I’m one of three freshman coming in who were just drafted, and we’ll all be fighting for spots. sports@vicnews.com

SPORTS NEWS IN BRIEF Cordova Bay team going to Sweden The Cordova Bay Impact under-12 soccer team was named BMO Team of the Week for their fundraising achievements off the pitch this year.

The team is now entered to be the BMO Team of the Week champion for 2011, with a grand prize of $125,000 in refurbishments to their soccer field, a trip to see a Vancouver Whitecaps FC home game and $5,000 to the charity of their choice.

As the BMO Team of the Week, the Impact players win track suits, $500 for the team and $500 towards the charity of their choice.

Catching the BMO judges’ eyes was the Impact’s fundraising efforts to cover the cost of the team’s participation in Sweden’s 2011 Gothia

Cup, a world youth soccer tournament with hundreds of teams, held July 17-23.

Community voting for the Team of the Week champion starts Aug. 1 at www.bmosoccer.com.

A paper route is about so much more than money.

These days kids want and need so many things. With a paper route they not only earn the money to buy those things, they also gain a new respect for themselves. They discover a new sense of confidence, power and control by having their very own job, making their own money and paying for their own games, phones and time with friends.

Spectacular natural settings.

Unique shopping experiences.

World class dining.

Unrivalled leisure & sports activities.

The Saanich Peninsula is a day tripper’s dream.

All it takes is an hour or so after school Wednesday and Friday.
