ehind his desk, Bob Wright wears a white dress shirt and black suit jacket with “the company uniform” – blue jeans. “I don’t want to sit around in a tie all day,” he says gruffly, flicking the open collar of his shirt. At nearly 81 years old, Wright is in his office every day, keeping a sharp eye on his business. Next week though, he will be in Ottawa being inducted into the Canadian Tourism Hall of Fame.

Sound failure delays Lodge vote Laura Lavin News staff
A poor sound system forced the Oak Bay Lodge discussion to be postponed another week. With close to 200 people crowding the council chamber on Monday, and those near the back of the overflow area unable to hear the discussion, Mayor Christopher Causton made the decision to postpone. The meeting will reconvene at 7 p.m. Nov. 21 at the Monterey Recreation Centre, 1442 Monterey Ave. – two days after the municipal election. The Vancouver Island Health Authority and Baptist Housing want to demolish the Lodge and build a 320-bed, six-storey facility for seniors with dementia who require complex care. In order to move forward they need a variance to reduce the number of parking spaces from 320 to 107, as well as a variance for height. Baptist Housing CEO Howard Johnson told council they arranged financing for the project in early 2009. However, the lender has indicated it is unable to hold the funds aside after Dec. 31. editor@oakbaynews.com

Oak Bay is the place to be for Christmas with events and special Christmas activities taking place throughout the season.

Thousands of LED lights, decorations and giant wreaths adorn buildings, trees and lamp posts along Oak Bay Avenue. The lights come on Sunday, Nov. 27 with family entertainment, giant games and magical fun. “It’s gone through few a evolutions,” said Heather Leary, project manager. “It started with a variety show and grew bigger, so we hired a band to play, then it grew in scope again.

The attraction was a huge success. “When I started it the Canadian government was sending out these fisheries guys with machine guns to Estevan Point, north of Campbell River, to kill the killer whales coming down because the commercial fisheries said they were wrecking their nets. I was going snake over that.” Controversy over the captivity of whales, along with the death of a part-time trainer led to Sealand’s closure in 1991. Kelti Byrne, 20, a UVic marine biology student, fell into the whale pool after a show. The orcas dragged and submerged her until she drowned, despite rescue efforts by other trainers. Wright remembers her as “a beautiful young lady.” Byrne’s death aside, he doesn’t regret opening Sealand of the Pacific. His experience with the mammals eventually led him to donate $11 million to UVic for scientific research on climate change and the creation of the Bob Wright Centre for Ocean, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. The Canadian Tourism Hall of Fame recognizes individuals whose actions have had a positive impact
on the industry they serve. Wright will be honoured at the Hall of Fame luncheon in Ottawa on Nov. 23 along with another local, Rod Harris, former president and CEO of Tourism British Columbia. editor@oakbaynews.com

Law targets metal theft Police hope proposed legislation deters theft Ryan Flaherty News staff
Saanich Police are hoping that new legislation proposed by the provincial government will help curb a growing criminal problem in the Capital Region. Metal thefts are on the rise, thanks in part to the high value of materials such as copper and aluminum. Phone lines, which are made with copper wire, are among the more popular targets, but increasingly police are seeing other materials being taken. “We saw one case where there was a break-in and a number of brass fittings were stolen,” said Saanich police Sgt. Dean Jantzen. “That’s exactly the type of thing this legislation could help deal with.” Saanich police have handled 15 cases this year in which metal products were the primary target. That’s up from five a year ago. The problem with metal thefts, said Jantzen, is that they can create a nuisance -- and potentially a serious risk -- for the
general public. When phone lines are damaged by thieves, for example, communication systems are compromised, cutting people off from vital emergency services. “When lines go down, 911 goes down,” said Jantzen. “If all you have is a house phone, you can’t dial 911.” Under Bill 13, the Metal Dealers and Recyclers Act, scrap dealers will have to keep records of the type and weight of metals they purchase, any distinguishing marks, and where the seller says they got it. That information is to be shared with law enforcement on a daily basis, and the records are to be kept for at least one year. Dealers will also be required to maintain a registry of sellers’ personal information, including their
name, address, phone number and date of birth. To protect their privacy, sellers will be assigned a unique

OUR VIEW
Think your vote doesn’t matter? There has been a lot written and said about why every citizen old enough to vote needs to make an effort to go to the polls. One quote that gets to the point is from the late American author David Foster Wallace who said, “In reality, there is no such thing as not voting: you either vote by voting, or you vote by staying home and tacitly doubling the value of some diehard’s vote.” This is especially true when it comes to our civic elections where a notoriously low voter turnout and the preponderance of special-interest groups can make or break many candidates’ chances on election day. For those who do make the effort to take a few minutes out of their Saturday to exercise a fundamental democratic right, there’s plenty of reasons to await the outcome of tomorrow’s elections. From legitimate races for leadership of our communities to the chance to send a message about rising tax levels, voters can find any number of issues to get them fired up enough to want to go to the polls. Are you happy with municipal spending increasing faster than most workers’ wages? Do you think local government is doing enough to help those in our community who are struggling to make ends meet? Are you concerned about the direction your board of education wants to be taking the school system in your community? There are many candidates championing ideas to make where we live an even better place. Find someone you agree with and support them with your vote. Even if you don’t fill out an entire ballot, you are still entitled to have your small say. If you feel like you’re not well enough informed about who is running, take 30 minutes to learn more. Over the last several editions we have been running stories and profiles to help voters understand which candidates speak for them.

OAK BAY NEWS 18, 2011 VICTORIA NEWS--Friday, Friday,November Nov. 18, 2011
OPINION
To end homelessness, stop hating the homeless Mark Muldoon Guest comment
On a particular night in February, the Greater Victoria Coalition to End Homelessness, with the help of other agencies, conducted a facility count. They found 1,143 people being sheltered throughout the city. More than 10 per cent of this number was comprised of youths. The numbers did not include those who were sleeping outdoors, couch surfing or living in an inadequate accommodation. While the results remind us that homelessness and near-homelessness are still key issues in our community, they should also remind us that it is a mistake to identify the homeless problem of Victoria only with those we see wandering the streets or sleeping in doorways. The visible street population is only the tip of the iceberg of hundreds of youths, single adults and families who are insecurely, inappropriately, or hardly housed at all.
The lack of affordable rental units, the obscene cost of hydro and the lack of a living wage lock hundreds of youths and adults into an unstable and transitory living situation. Understandably, many voters resent the sight of homeless people and demand that someone – anyone – clean up the streets. Consequently, the city has been trying to respond to this resentment by slowly policing the visible homeless out of sight. In the meantime, many people who work with the homeless and near-homeless agree that housing this growing population, and preventing it from happening, is achievable with the right policies. What is lacking is the public will to demand that governments act in a way that looks for long-term solutions to the problem. Unfortunately, while we decry the sight of the homeless, few if any voters are outraged enough to make it a political issue. Why? Human nature being what it is, we hate being in the presence of those who, through
no fault of their own, are jobless, nearhomeless and generally down on their luck. The presence of marginalized youth, men and women standing in front of a welfare office evokes deep fears in each of us about our own vulnerability and weakness. All these fears and feelings of vulnerability get projected onto those who – all too often with legitimate reasons – need help to avoid being homeless. Instead of accepting our own vulnerability and responding with integrity, we prefer to believe the homeless and nearhomeless choose to be a blight on our city. We say they are lazy, drunk, stupid, ignorant folks who won’t hold down a job. The coalition has been working tirelessly to identify and formulate recommendations that will turn off the tap to the circumstances that feed homelessness. Its vision is to prevent homelessness from re-occurring through long-term policies that treat people in a dignified and principled way.
However, without the public will to demand that governments invest in longterm solutions, such recommendations will not be taken seriously. In the end, we have to stop blaming the homeless and near-homeless for their plight and begin to act like mature citizens who care. Currently, the province and the Capital Regional District have among the highest poverty rates in the country. Behind the contingent of visible homeless on the street, there is a larger number of youths, individuals and families on the cusp of becoming homeless. Both populations must be addressed. In the coming civic elections, voters must raise a loud and audible cry, demanding that local politicians invest in long-term policies, and financial commitments and forge structures that eventually work to prevent people from joining the ranks of the homeless and near-homeless. Mark Muldoon is executive director of the Threshold Housing Society.
Readers respond: Occupy movement, election, lifestyles and deer Media missing Occupy’s story I am getting very frustrated by the way the media have been focusing on the Occupy movements recently. They have been so negative, focusing solely on the struggles protesters are having with politicians who wish to remove them from public spaces. Have we forgotten the reason these movements are there in the first place? The visual representation of their tents in such prominent public spaces should be a constant reminder to politicians, the public, as well as the media, and should serve to provoke discussions around their calls for shortening the gaps between the rich and the poor. The media should start honing in on the reasons these Occupy movements have sprung up. Perhaps the media should focus their attention on: 1) discovering the individual stories of the
Send letters to the editor editor@ oakbaynews .com
people who are living in their tents downtown; 2) putting pressure on the politicians to become accountable to the increasing gaps between rich and poor; 3) researching ways to get ourselves out of this mess. I say, keep the tents downtown, allow people to skate around them and get lively debates going so all 100 per cent of us can come up with a way to make sure our great country truly allows equal opportunity for one and all. Anissa Paulsen Victoria
This weekend, vote for health-care champions There are champions in our midst. More than 160 municipal candidates across B.C. have pledged to help strengthen and expand public health-care services in their communities if elected in this week’s elections – twice as many as those who
pledged in the 2008 elections. Why the dramatic jump in health care-concerned candidates? The restructuring of home and community care, the future of medicare, the upcoming renegotiation of the Federal-Provincial Health Accord and the resulting effects on municipal social and economic infrastructure are all important issues for municipalities. I encourage all voters to consider electing candidates who have pledged to speak out for public health care when they go to the polls this week – view the B.C. Health Coalition’s public list of candidates who have taken the Public Health Care Champion pledge on our website. Rachel Tutte Co-chair B.C. Health Coalition
Not voting akin to dishonouring war heroes A municipal election will be
held tomorrow (Nov. 19). Are we going to have the same turnout as in Victoria’s Johnson Street bridge referendum last year, when only 26 per cent voted while 74 per cent twiddled their thumbs? This past week we observed Remembrance Day, in honour of the people who fought for democracy and for our right to self-determination. I hope there will be 100 per cent voter turnout this time. If not, we would be once again dishonouring those who gave up their lives to preserve our democratic rights. Please vote. Alexander Schmid Victoria
Gas guzzlers are optional Consumer greed has padded the pockets of banks and corporations We live in a generation of buy now, pay later – paying exorbitant interest rates for
goods to supply a lifestyle we cannot afford. If today’s families wish to live beyond their means, don’t blame the government, corporations or the baby boomers. If you can’t afford the gas, don’t buy a gas guzzler! Marlene Lewis Victoria
Slow down for deer on local roadways I want to spearhead a new convention in the driving community: when a driver encounters deer on or near the roadway, slow down to 30 km/h and put on the hazard lights to warn other drivers of the presence of the animals. Slowing down would reduce the chances of a collision with an animal and would reduce insurance claims. Better communication among drivers can’t hurt either. Bennett Guinn Victoria

Furtado, Foster in town for Mount Doug Idol Natalie North News staff
Two of Victoria’s bestknown musical talents return to their home-
town this weekend to judge the city’s latest singing competition with the chance of welcoming its next superstar. Producer David Fos-
ter and artist Nelly Furtado, both alumni of Mount Douglas secondary school, are back as celebrity judges for Mount Doug Idol. The
talent show is the culmination of nine days of events hosted by the Mount Doug Alumni Association in honour of the school’s 80th anni-
versary. More than 100 alumni – many living in other areas of Canada or the U.S. – applied in September to take part in the competition. A panel
of local judges narrowed the field to 15 semi-finalists and then down to five finalists on Nov. 2 at the Spectrum Community school theatre. Telus AuThorized deAlers

Justin Hewitt and Kale Penny of Victoria, Joni Anderson of White Rock, Amanda Wood of Vancouver and Cristine Seeber of California are now vying for the top spot. “We’re all so proud of coming from Mount Doug,” said Foster in an earlier interview with the News. “It’s a pact, it’s a bond that we share. I’m super proud to be a Canadian and to be from Victoria. I tout Victoria everywhere I go.” On Saturday, alumni ranging in age and musical genre from teen to senior, and from opera to country will perform at the University of Victoria’s Farquhar Auditorium. Furtado and Foster, honorary president of the alumni association, will take the stage as well as participate in a pre-event social. While there is no promise that the winner will get a record deal from the multi-Grammy award-winning producer, Wendy Gedney, co-chair of the anniversary celebrations, said the top vocalist will be rewarded with a trip from Air Canada and prizes from Tom Lee Music. “The purpose of the Idol is to showcase talent of the alumni and the bonus is we have David Foster and Nelly Furtado to help us with that because they’re both from Mount Doug and they’ll be playing a little bit and doing their little bit,” Gedney said. “It’s not the David and Nelly show. It’s about Mount Doug. (Foster) wants it that way and so do we.” The competition was open to past and present staff and students of Mount Doug and its feeder schools. The children and grandchildren of former staff and students could also apply. “There’s a huge chance that we could find something great,” Foster said. A sports social, highlighting Mount Doug’s athletics history, will run from 3 to 6 p.m. at the adjacent Mount Doug campus, 3970 Gordon Head Rd. Tickets to the Idol show, the pre-event reception with Foster and Furtado, as well as the sports social can be purchased through w w w. m o u n t d o u g a lumni.com. nnorth@saanichnews.com

L’amour, the French way Six seasons of love sung en français Erin McCracken News staff
Sharon Tiffin/News staff
Clockwise from left, Réjean Bussières, Cam Culham and Val Vanille will perform in a French cabaret on Nov. 24 at the Leonardo Da Vinci Centre.
Four seasons are apparently not enough when it comes to expressing love. That is one of the messages Emmanuel Hérique will deliver through the production of his third French cabaret in Victoria on Thursday at the Leonardo Da Vinci Centre in Vic West. With so many French songs to draw from for the show, the Six Seasons of Love, Hérique and his cast decided to take the audience on an extended journey through spring, summer, fall, winter and another spring and summer. “We decided after several rehearsals that love cannot end on a winter. It’s a different story, so we gave it six seasons,” Hérique says. “It’s the nature of love … love with someone or for something. You want to portray a cycle.” Having produced two previous cabarets in 2007 and 2009 in Victoria, Hérique says this event has become
an important part of the roster of French events that celebrate a culture dating back to Victoria’s early days. The shows have proven popular with francophones, whose first language is French, and francophiles, who are anglophones who enjoy experiencing French culture. The cabaret, says Hérique, fills a niche in Greater Victoria, where an estimated 7,000 Francophones and 30,000 Francophiles live, according to the Société Francophone de Victoria. Hérique puts on his shows to share French culture with a wider audience in order to educate and increase understanding between cultures. The cash-bar event will feature dancing, and spectators are invited to sing along to lyrics projected on the wall. “It’s French for all. It breaks down barriers. It sounds trite but it’s true,” says Hérique, a linguist who can speak six languages and is a professor of French at the University of Victoria. “I think culture makes people melt and it brings people together, and it’s not a bad thing in this world.” The cabaret lineup includes Saanich singer/actor Cam Culham, Saanich singer and guitarist Réjean Bussières, Vancouver comedian and accordion
player François Laberge, Victoria vocalist Val Vanille and Saanich singer/ actor Stéphanie Geehan. They will perform songs from Quebec and France. “It’s a gorgeous repertoire, all these songs in the French repertoire, from the ‘50s, ‘60s, ‘70s,” says Hérique, who is originally from France. “There’s a tradition in the French culture that’s absolutely stunning, and I think people are sensitive to that, and deep down, that’s why I do it.” emccracken@vicnews.com

ARTS LISTINGS IN BRIEF
Ex-priest signs book about leaving church
A Victoria author whose book rose to the No. 1 spot on Amazon.com’s spiritual books ranking is hosting a book signing. Former Catholic priest John Shields shed his religion and wrote the tale of why he redefined his spiritual beliefs, in The Priest Who Left his Religion: In Pursuit of Cosmic Spirituality. When the church updated its stance on some policies, Shields writes that he realized its past teachings were incorrect, after all. Shields will sign copies of this first book at the Church of Truth, 111 Superior St. tomorrow (Nov. 19) from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m.

Rooms ...and witha blank a view canvas to decorate Jennifer Blyth Black Press
A
room with a view? Make that rooms with a view at Swallows Landing, one of Victoria’s premiere waterfront residential projects. While the project is virtually sold out, buyers looking for that little piece of waterfront luxury are in for a treat. Topping the second of two nine-storey towers is a 4,150-square-foot penthouse with drop-dead gorgeous views enjoyed either from the 2,900-square-foot deck or through expansive floor-to-ceiling windows. The best part? The suite is roughed in with in-floor radiant heat, a gas fireplace, gas barbecue and all the essentials, but finishings are all up to you. Due to the project being in receivership since the recent economic downturn, the last penthouse has been reduced in price and is being sold “unfinished” to allow buyers to truly customize the space as they envision. And what a space! Panoramic views span from the West Bay Marina and the Olympic Mountains right around to the Inner Harbour and downtown, notes MacDonald Re-
alty Victoria’s Connie Brown, who has been involved with the project since its inception in 2004. With 10-foot ceilings and a layout designed for privacy between living areas, the three-bedroomwith-a-den features a west-facing master suite, walk-in closet and like the other Swallows Landing suites, enjoys a break on strata fees compared to similar properties, thanks to several strata-owned guest suites that generate some revenue for the building. Beneath this penthouse is an eighth-floor sub-penthouse, just as striking as its ninthfloor neighbour, with vaulted ceiling and more than 3,200 sq. ft. of space. Also unfinished, and awaiting that designer’s eye, the two-bedroom-plus-den enjoys incredible views and a separate workshop area – plus a recent price reduction. The Swallows Landing project, by Mandalay Developments, offered a number of unique features in its two buildings in Esquimalt, including a protected Garry oak meadow at the foot of the property, donated to the Land Conservancy.
Jennifer Blyth photos
Enjoy beautiful views and a great location at Swallows Landing, overlooking the Victoria Harbour. Winner of both the Judges’ Choice Award and an Excellence Award in the condominium category from the Greater Victoria Commercial Building Awards, the buildings were designed to maximize the views while offering excellent finishings and room for living, both inside and out. Not only home to Brown herself, the project’s builder has also called Swallows Landing home since its construction. “It offers some of the best south-facing waterfront with Inner Harbour and mountain views,” notes Brown, adding the proximity to downtown also means a short walk along the water to the amenities Cont. on next page of town.
IN THE KNOW:
• Swallows Landing is a 2007-built condominium project from Mandalay Developments, on Dunsmuir Street in Esquimalt, near the West Bay Marina. • The project features 100 units in all with three new suites remaining. • For more information, call Connie Brown at 250361-8383.

Young parents give back Laura Lavin News staff
Society may look down its nose at teen parents, but they’re the ones running the show at the Young Parents Support Network. “We have a board of directors who are current or past participants, as well as young parents who are very tuned into what the parents we work with want as programs,” said Young Parents Support Network program co-ordinator Margo d’Archangelo. The Young Parents Support Network, a small, non-profit group that has helped young parent families around Greater Victoria since 1994, offers support to parents between the ages of 13 and 29. It assists with family support, prenatal outreach, parenting education, a naturopath clinic, a free store, a workout group and more. The group serves 170 families; participants choose the programs that are most suited to their needs. “A large portion of the population we serve are in tricky economic situations,” said d’Archangelo. “A large portion of
them are also well below what is considered to be low income.” The Young Parents Support Network provides group, oneon-one and in-home services to young parent families. “It’s open to everybody. You can still be really isolated even if you’re (not low income),” she said. The Young Parents Support Network is there to help young parents cope with one of the biggest challenges in life – raising kids. “The youngest of the young parents use the service most intensely,” d’Archangelo said. “They cycle through, then things become more stable and they become more committed to give back to the community.” The organization is funded entirely by donations including those that come through the United Way, the Victoria Foundation and the Community Action Program for Children. “We’re really respectful, and therefore really responsible, to the population we work with. We’re right here listening to their needs. Sometimes a program that’s really needed doesn’t get to continue because there’s no funding,” d’Archangelo said. This year Black Press’ Pennies
for Presents fundraiser will help five organizations including the Young Parents Support Network, the Mary Manning Centre, Threshold Housing Society, Victoria READ Society and suicide prevention group, NEED2. Pennies for Presents has raised about $618,000 for local charities since the campaign’s inception 15 years ago. Last year, more than $12,000 was generated by businesses, schoolchildren and readers of the Victoria News, Saanich News, Oak Bay News, Goldstream News Gazette and Monday Magazine. editor@vicnews.com
How you can help ■ Cash donations can be dropped off at Black Press head office, 818 Broughton St. ■ For a list of businesses that are accepting donations, watch for notices in the Victoria News and Victoria News Daily. ■ Schools interested in participating can call 250-381-3633 ext. 269 or email kslavin@ saanichnews.com.

Christmas Seals donations target lung disease For more than 100 years, the Lung Association, Canada’s oldest charity, has been using the holiday-themed seals on their mail in order to both raise awareness of and funds for lung disease. In the early days, the association battled tuberculosis. Today the mission of the B.C. Lung Association is to promote lung health and clean air and support the growing number of British Columbians struggling with breathing problems including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer and sleep apnea. “Christmas Seals are a very visible way of showing that people
care about the continuing fight against lung disease,” said Mike Ellis, B.C. Lung Association volunteer director for the Victoria region. “Our fundraising target for the 2011 campaign is $1 million.” The money raised through donations to Christmas Seals is put to careful use, funding medical research into the treatment and prevention of lung disease, patient support programs and services in communities across British Columbia, and helping children choose a smoke-free lifestyle. Those wishing to make a donation can do so by calling 1-800-6655864 or visiting www. bc.lung.ca. editor@vicnews.com

Difficulty breathing? You may have COPD (includes chronic bronchitis & emphysema), a chronic lung disease that all too often goes undiagnosed. Smokers and ex-smokers over 40 are at greatest risk.

Josh Cowen of the Red Deer Rebels, left, puts pressure on defenceman Brett Cote of the Victoria Royals during the Royals’ 3-2 win at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre on Sunday.

Not only did some of them bicker on the bench about not passing (enough) to each other, I realized that’s one of the few, if only, conversations between two bickering teenagers I’d actually enjoy hearing. To be fair, the boys were gentlemen. If I was them, I’d be awfully tempted to complain about being in my gear for three and a half hours just to play 40 minutes of hockey, whatever the cause. • Strobe lights will temporarily blind you. The game opened with NHL-size hype. Lights were turned out. Fog filled the rink. As announcer Cliff Lequense introduced each player over the microphone, strobe lights flashed across the ice. When it was my turn to skate on the ice, I had no idea where I was going. After a few strides into the darkness I could make out a few bodies in the mist. I lined up along the blue line with my team and was able to avoid embarrassment - at least until I fell down on my first shift. sports@vicnews.com

High school football season gets serious today (Nov. 18) as the Mount Douglas Rams host the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers of Surrey in the second round of the playoffs, the quarterfinals at Bear Mountain Stadium in Langford. Kick off is 5 p.m. The Rams (4-1) enjoyed a bye in the first round, the reward for finishing second in the Western Conference. Last week the Panthers (2-3) beat Salmon Arm 41-16 during a full day’s worth of first-round playoff games at B.C. Place. As of this week Canada Football Chat has the Rams ranked 17th behind mainland opponents W.J. Mouatt (Abbotsford) at 12th, Vancouver College at 13th, and B.C.’s top ranked team, St. Thomas More of Vancouver at fourth. The other quarterfinals see Mouatt at Kelowna, while St. Thomas More hosts Centennial and Notre Dame hosts Van Colllege at UBC this weekend.

Tristan Smith of the Trinity Western Spartans guards Zac Andrus, No. 3, of the UVic Vikes in Langley earlier this season. On Nov. 12, Andrus scored 19 points as the Vikes topped the Brandon Bobcats 87-76 at McKinnon Gymnasium in front of 843 fans. The Vikes (4-0) host Thompson Rivers WolfPack today and tomorrow.
Maca Users say... ... my anxiety and irritability diminished... I am sleeping better and have much more energy... my mood has improved... increased energy both mentally and physically... increase in libido... noticed the difference within a few weeks... more mental clarity... life is good! Maca root is a healthy, nutrient rich superfood which can renew energy, improve hormonal imbalances, support the immune system and increase libido levels.
No more mood swings and irritability “ I have to say thank you for AdrenaSense®. I have suffered for over one year from complete adrenal exhaustion including only two hours of light sleep every night. I finally decided to try AdrenaSense® one month ago. I am feeling so much better now. AdrenaSense® has also helped more than anything else to help me feel calm - no more mood swings and irritability. It is a remarkable product! ” AdrenaSense is recommended by health professionals to support adrenal glands and help reduce the effects of stress, improve energy and promote restful sleep.

That collapsed when the Shamrocks fell to the upstart Langley Thunder in the first round of the playoffs. “If you really want to put a mark on your lacrosse career, you do it in Canada winning a Mann Cup,” Heyes said. “It’s much harder to win a Mann Cup than a one-game final, where it’s still a battle, but in this league there can be more playoff games than regular season, so I’ll emphasize that. A lot of guys are NLL players, but if you’re here, you’re here to be a Shamrock.” Heyes expects to have his assistants in place as soon as two weeks from now: one offensive and one defensive specialist who are going to be on the same page but who aren’t yes men, he said. “There’s a lot of people in town who have a great lacrosse background and I will be leaning on some of them to be open to (re)building this franchise toward greatness.” sports@vicnews.com

Longtime volunteers and philanthropists Eric Charman and Michael (Benj) O’Connor will co-chair the David Foster Foundation’s 25th anniversary Miracle Concert and Galas, May 26, 2012. Held at the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre, the Miracle Concert and Gala is a key celebration during a weekend that promises to bring some of North America’s brightest stars, including music producer David Foster, to Victoria. “Having the expertise and clout of two of Victoria’s most outstanding citizens leading our gala event is a home run for us,” said Michael Ravenhill, CEO of the David Foster Foundation. “Between the two of them, Eric and Benj have raised millions of dollars for this community already. We have a significant fundraising goal, but with these two at the helm, I have no doubt we
will get there.” On May 26, Foster will bring back his popular Hitman Show for a Miracle Concert – held in conjunction with a star-studded David Foster Foundation gala grand opening weekend celebrating the rebirth of the Oak Bay Beach Hotel, May 25 to 27. Concert tickets will be available in the new year. In Canada, the David Foster Foundation supports families whose children are undergoing major organ transplants. Families receive support for non-medical expenses incurred when travelling away from their homes to be with their child during transplant.
