Planting a seed for a cash-strapped charity Oak Bay women rally behind charity by launching online donation service Sam Van Schie News staff

Dropping off a box of toys at the Mustard Seed food bank last winter, Shannon Phillips realized that her small gesture could go a long way to brighten the day for members of struggling families. “The first time I went there it was raining and I saw a woman, pregnant and pushing a stroller, trying to balance the food she’d picked up,” recalled Phillips, an Oak Bay mother of two. “I just felt like I could do more for people like her.” Phillips went through her home looking for more items to donate and asked some of her friends to do the same. She also contacted doctors’ offices, asking them to donate formula samples nearing expiry. These days, she drives around picking up donations once a month to deliver to the Mustard Seed. “I always have a full trunk and the seats folded down to fit everything,” said Phillips, who has taken a shine to being called the “seed lady.” She’s set up fundraisers benefiting the food bank, including a recent pub night at the Penny Farthing where she

collected donations of school supplies. Now she’s looking for women to join her efforts. She’s in the process of developing a website with friend Meghan Bowes to reach potential organizers and donors for future events. The seed ladies, as they call themselves, aren’t limiting themselves to supporting the Mustard Seed. They’re also collecting donations for Christmas hampers, and plan to hold a soup night at London Chef, both to raise funds for the Victoria Women’s Transition House. “We’re very grassroots and just willing to try whatever ideas come to us,” Phillips said. “We want to make giving to charity easy and fun and social.” To get involved, email seedladies@ gmail.com. editor@oakbaynews.com

The duo, who started Seedladies.com, hold fundraisers year-round to gather toys, food and gently used items for regular delivery to the Mustard Seed.

Did you know? While the Mustard Seed primarily distributes food, it also accepts: ■ Clothing for all ages ■ Toys, car seats and learning supplies ■ Household goods ■ Cash, including automatic monthly donations charged to credit cards ■ Volunteers to help with daily operations

Province says no to request for financial help on deer issue Kyle Slavin News staff

Not one penny. That’s how much financial support the Capital Regional District can expect from the provincial government to help tackle prob-

lems with the region’s burgeoning deer population. A report to be presented to the CRD’s planning, transportation and protective services committee tomorrow (Oct. 27) states that “no financial resources would be available” from the Ministry of

Environment to support a deer management plan. “I believe it has to be a multipronged approach. I see the province, ICBC and ourselves – as the Capital Region – implementing probably a three-stage solution,” Oak Bay Mayor and regional parks

chair Christopher Causton said. He suggests the first stage would involve an education campaign and stricter bylaws around feeding the animals. The second would be tranquilization and relocation of deer and the third would be a selective cull.

“The municipalities have to agree to a plan and then the province needs to indicate they’re taking this seriously now. It can’t go on exploding.” PLEASE SEE: Deer management, Page A5

From Batman to Iron Man University of Victoria prof asks whether real-life Iron Man suit is possible in new book Ryan Flaherty News staff

By day, he studies new rehabilitation methods for stroke and spinal cord injury patients. By night, he uses comic book superheroes to explore the outer limits of biological and technological development. It’s not quite as dramatic a contrast as those of the characters he uses for inspiration, but E. Paul Zehr is living his own version of a double life, nonetheless. A professor of neuroscience and kinesiology at the University of Victoria, Zehr is carving out a name for himself as an author of what he calls “speculative nonfiction.” His second book, Inventing Iron Man: The Possibility of a Human Machine, was published this year by Johns Hopkins University Press. In it, Zehr examines whether it would be possible to create an armoured suit like the one worn by the titular superhero, and the consequences of creating one. “In our brains, ever since we were developing in utero, this mapping has been occurring where sensory information from the skin of your body is helping to create this map of sensations in your brain that represents your body,” he explained. “If you have a map that’s full already, and you jam an armoured suit on top of it, where does it go?” ■ Author E. Paul Zehr To try to answer that has delved into the question, Zehr looked writing niche known as at three main elements speculative non-fiction. of the Iron Man suit: the He has written two books amplification of strength that take comic book it provides, its ability superheroes and break to fly and the physical down their superpowers protection it offers. using real-world But beyond discussing physics and current-day the plausibility of such a technology.

His first,

E. Paul Zehr stands in his research lab at the University of Victoria, where he studies new approaches to the rehabilitation of stroke and spinal cord injury patients. His new book, Inventing Iron Man, explores the physical plausibility of building a real-life armoured suit like the one in the Iron Man comics and films. Beyond Batman, looked at whether a person could realistically whip themselves into superhero shape à la Dark Knight. Zehr said the pop culture icons are a perfect way to explore scientific concepts in an accessible way. “When you try and talk about science with the general public, I like to choose things that everyone’s already familiar with,” he said. “If I say Iron Man to you, you have a mental image, we have the same common image and we can talk about the science.” Not only that, writing has helped Zehr in his research at UVic. “As a scientist, you have to reduce down, so you can answer questions yes or no. But we don’t often zoom it back out and say ‘What does that mean? How does it

affect these things? What does it relate to this?’ “You have to do that to write a book.” Whether a real-life Iron Man suit is indeed possible – Zehr thinks that it’s likely that there are some governments already working on some version – the author hopes the book opens people’s minds to some new concepts. “I think we ought to be thinking about some of these things before we get to that point (that a suit is made). A little advanced thought would be helpful, I think.” It’s not quite a superpower, at least in the comic book sense, but in a way, Zehr has found a way to look into the future. editor@oakbaynews.com

Suspect linked to Oak Bay burglaries, possibly others Six counts of break-and-enter for Saanich man The owner of a missing bigscreen TV is in luck, after police nabbed a man they say is a prolific break-in suspect. The 55-inch TV, still in its origi-

nal box, was found in a residence near Elk Lake last week, when Saanich street crime and regional crime unit officers searched the suspect’s home. They believe the TV was taken from an Oak Bay house. Oak Bay police Chief Mark Fisher said his officers helped their Saanich counterparts execute “a lengthy and sophisticated

operation” to find the suspect. In recent weeks, police warned residents about a thief who was using ladders to access secondstorey windows of “high-end houses” in Oak Bay, Fisher said. The joint investigation is attempting to link the suspect to similar break-ins over the summer in Cadboro Bay and Ten Mile Point in Saanich, plus Colwood and Cen-

tral Saanich. It began in June and ended Oct. 18 when Christopher Lee Schwartz, 41, was arrested. He has so far been charged with six counts of breaking and entering, but police are looking into whether he is associated with 35 other cases. Three of the charges relate to break-ins in Oak Bay on July 1 and Oct. 17 and 18.

When Schwartz was arrested, he was already wanted for breach of recognizance – a condition of his bail – and other offences. His next court appearance is Nov. 3. If the owner of the TV seized in the arrest is able to identify it, they can call Saanich police at 250475-4321 and ask for Const. Janice Carmena. ecardone@vicnews.com

Deer management a regional concern Continued from Page A1

The issue around deer management resurfaced at last month’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention where Causton chaired a panel meeting on the subject. Municipalities and regional governments can look to Cranbrook, which recently implemented a strategy to reduce its deer population, Causton said. The CRD report doesn’t offer suggestions for managing the deer. It includes one recommendation: to prepare terms of reference for a plan and seek out funding partnerships. Causton’s hope that ICBC will get involved stems from

the increasing number of cardeer collisions. The report says the number of crashes has increased by an average of 13 per cent each year since 2000. “Between 1997 and 2007 animal-related insurance claims in B.C. have increased from $15.8 million to $30.8 million,” reads the report. Sean Pendergast, a wildlife biologist with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, says Cranbrook’s “communityowned management plan” is an effective approach to alleviating the issue. “They put it to the community to say: ‘These are our options, what would you prefer we do? Something needs to be done,’” he said.

Job numbers expected to rise this quarter A recent survey shows 23 per cent of Greater Victoria employers across all sectors expect to hire new employees for the fourth quarter of 2011. But the net hiring increase is 10 per cent, with 13 per cent of employers indicating they’ll likely make cutbacks in the near future, according to the Manpower Employment Outlook Survey. “This year as the confidence level has grown in the marketplace, they (employers) brought people on sooner,” said Monica Star of Manpower’s Vancouver office. The survey looks at the Capital Region’s private and public employers and determines a “hiring climate” for the upcoming quarter. They do so by asking whether employers plan to hire, cut back or hold steady in their staffing levels between October and December – the period when many businesses, especially retail, are at their busiest with the upcoming Christmas shopping season. The remaining 64 per cent of respondents indicated they plan to hold steady. ecardone@vicnews.com

More low-income earners to receive transit assistance Erin McCracken News staff

More of Greater Victoria’s needy will have access to subsidized bus fares. Members of the Victoria Regional Transit Commission temporarily boosted the number of subsidized tickets and monthly passes it provides to the Community Social Planning Council. The increase will allow B.C. Transit to provide a 25-per-cent increase in the number of fares it allocates through its transit assistance program to non-profit social service agencies, at a cost of two for the

price of one. It’s the second time this year the commission approved an increase. Without the increase, the council expected to run out of subsidized fares by the end of March 2012, despite the commission’s decision in May to increase the allotment from 90,000 to 112,000 tickets and from 800 to 1,000 monthly passes. From now until next March, 135,000 tickets and 1,200 monthly passes will be allocated. “There’s a huge need for it,” said transit commission chair and Oak Bay Mayor Christopher Causton. emccracken@vicnews.com

Greater Victoria’s issues, he said, are the result of urban spread. “We’ve done a very good job in our urban and rural areas of eliminating all predators – cougars and wolves – so the deer numbers are able to increase unencumbered,” Pendergast said. “And hunting is becoming less acceptable, even legal hunting practices, so really the only predator they have these days is automobiles.” As a wildlife biologist, he says relocation isn’t in the best interests of the animal. It puts them at a huge disadvantage, survival-wise, being in a brand new environment. “But quite often (relocation is) a public desire before even mentioning a cull.”

Also included in the CRD report are the results of a call for public input on deerrelated issues. More than half of the 389 submissions received were property damage complaints. The province is willing to provide staff support through the planning process and to lendequipment – clover traps, net guns, tranquilizers – during implementation. “I think we’ve lit a bit of a fire under the CRD – things are moving along,” Causton said, acknowledging that he first asked regional staff to look at a management plan a year ago. “We’ve got to step up from what we’ve got now, which is nothing.” kslavin@saanichnews.com

Choosing the wrong door to get into the Oak Bay library, Mahinder Doman found herself inside the Monterey Recreation Centre for the first time by accident. It’s an easy mistake to make – the senior’s social hub shares an entrance with the library branch. But it’s no mistake that Doman kept coming back. “I come here most days just to read the newspaper and be around other people,” said Doman, who keeps her age a secret. Anyone 50 years of age or older can join the centre for access to clubs, courses and social outings. Ena Cooke, 77, joined at the insistence of her husband in 2000. Before his death, the couple enjoyed the sing-along club together. “He said I had to come because the women here were starting to think he was single and flirting with him,” Cooke joked. In her first year at the centre, Cooke co-founded the computer club. She’s been a regular computer instructor since, at times teaching up to four courses. “I wanted to give something back,” she said. “I was used to being busy and running things, so they put me to work.” An accomplished business-

She found a job the day after she stepped off the ship. At 37 she was vice-president of a metal trading company in Montreal. She moved to Oak Bay in the 1980s and became the first executive director of the Knowledge Network, back when the provincial government TV station was based out of a hut at the University of Victoria. Many of the folks at Monterey have interesting stories, and connect around tales of their working lives.

Firefighters pose for charity Saanich firefighters calendar returns for 2012 Erin Cardone News staff

While the Old Spice guy, Isaiah Mustafa, is riding his horse, Rod Sidhu is on a boat and his abs give Mustafa a run for his money. After a one-year hiatus, the Saanich firefighters calendar is back and Sidhu, wearing aviator sunglasses and clutching a lifesaver flotation device, graces the cover perched on the fire department’s Zodiac. “It’s a good thing for charity,” Sidhu said of his reasoning behind being photographed for the calendar for a third time. With being on the cover, he added, “I get teased about it from the fellows a bit more than usual.” Since 2008, Saanich firefighters have organized and produced the calendar, a fundraiser for the Saanich Firefighters Charitable Foundation. The photos have featured models exclusively from the Saanich department some years, and a combination of Saanich, Oak Bay, Victoria and Esquimalt firefighters in others. No one stepped up to arrange the project last year, so Saanich firefighter Jared Barker took on the task for the 2012 edition. It’s been a lot of work, said Barker, who is also in the calendar for a third time. “One of our big things is we like to be able to look after Saanich residents,” he said. “If their house burns down and they have nowhere to sleep for a night, we want to make sure we have enough money in the charitable fund to help them out.” The 2010 calendar brought in about $60,000 before expenses, which are minimal. All proceeds go to the firefighters foundation, which makes donations to community groups.

The calendar costs $20 and is available at all Thrifty Foods locations Each of this year’s 13 models‚ one for each month, plus Sidhu on the cover‚ helped determine the setting for their own photo. “Some guys have a bit of writer’s block, but I think it’s our experience that when the guys have more of a say, they’re more invested in the project,” Barker said. “It’s a bit of a laugh, guys have fun with it, but it’s for charity and it’s one of our biggest projects. When the guys are invested it shows in how much money is raised.” The 2012 Saanich Firefighters Calendar is $20 and available at any Thrifty Foods store in Saanich, plus Emerald Day Spa at 2807 Cedar Hill Rd. ecardone@vicnews.com

Still Growing at age 21 Island Key Computer Ltd. (IKC) By Karla Kusak, freelance technical writer

ver the past 21 years technology has changed, Island Key Computer Ltd continues changing as well, but what hasn’t is the company’s focus with regard to customer support and satisfaction. IKC offers leading edge PC, network and print technology from all major manufacturers and have a local service team to handle any maintenance, repairs or development requirements. Home or office equipment? “It seems that there are two main SMB buying strategies in the Victoria market today”, explains Brent Kennedy of IKC, “Far too often SMB clients are buying computer hardware and printing technology from Big Box stores” adding “The problems they encounter tend to result from not receiving consultative advice for their network as a whole and when they have incompatibility problems, often it ends up costing them more to replace or reconfigure their network to gain the results they require.” Cloud computing Mr. Kennedy adds that “many small businesses are missing important aspects of future planning and are investing in architecture without consideration of virtualization or cloud computing” The cloud computing paradigm is still not widely understood in the small business arena.” “Usually this requires far less investment in network hardware, software and infrastructure as most network resources reside in the internet cloud, and can be purchased as a service as opposed to the up-front outlay for onsite servers and support in a traditional network.”

Personalized service and value “We leverage our buying power from major accounts and government to offer the best value to small-medium businesses and their employees” Kennedy notes that “As one of only a few full providers of complete office solutions, from consumer laptops to Point of sale systems, to printers and copiers in Victoria. It can also reduce costs dealing with one company that can invoice everything on one monthly bill” Mistakes that small businesses make Darren Mifsud, Owner and CEO of Westar Aviation Ltd, when asked “What is the biggest mistake small business owners make? Mr. Mifsud states, “We repair airplanes, however I used to believe that managing the network, researching and buying computers, copiers and printers, and toner was saving the company money.. it wasn’t! We now focus on being experts at our core business and use the technical expertise of Island Key Computer, we found that doing it right the first time reduces overall costs significantly.” Here to stay with new small business division Island Key has been in the Information technology market since the beginning of the industry. They have grown and continue expanding with locations in Vancouver and Kelowna. Brent Kennedy has joined the company in the past few months to build the small business division leveraging his 25 years’ experience in the industry here and in Australia. Island Key Computer Ltd is located at 495 Superior St. Victoria, PH. 250 380 6465. www.islandkey.com

OUR VIEW

Charity’s woes mirror society’s It’s a sign of the times. The fact the Mustard Seed Street Church, which operates Greater Victoria’s largest food bank, recently took out a second mortgage on a piece of its property just to help pay the bills, is an indication that the financial balance may be as out of whack as the Occupy Victoria crowd says it is. The food bank division of the church is holding its own from a food donation perspective. But as food bank director Brent Palmer stated, you can’t fuel trucks with turnips. If the Mustard Seed doesn’t have enough money to pay its operating expenses, there won’t be a food bank left to provide the basic food necessities for those working families struggling to make ends meet. We’re getting close to the time when an increasing number of charities – all welldeserving – will be soliciting for donations. Such a scenario makes the Mustard Seed’s situation that much more difficult. Rather than imploring individuals to dig deeper to help out this cash-strapped charity, why not take an page out of Occupy’s book and ask profitable companies to help, out of compassion. There are many great corporate citizens operating in the Capital Region that make donations on a regular basis, some of which do so with little fanfare. Our hope is that companies continuing to thrive in recessionary times, such as the big banks, or a corporate entity looking at expansion plans, shift the focus from increasing its profitability for a moment and consider helping a critically needed charity make it through this rough financial period. The Mustard Seed receives no government grants, surviving almost solely on the generosity of donors, so taxpayers are not paying twice to help them operate. Helping feed people in our communities will no doubt provide payback for any successful company that chooses to step up to the plate in this situation. What do you think?

It wants a backlog of 2,800 applications for new or increased service eliminated, apparently without any efficiency moves. It wants an “independent review” of CLBC followed by a fulltime independent advocate for developmentally disabled people. The NDP also wants independent advocates with office staff and investigative powers for seniors and forest workers. B.C.’s independent children’s advocate continues to pile up reports with questionable effect in another area of intractable and growing social problems. Cadieux says CLBC’s internal service quality advocate has a high success rate resolving family complaints. A toll-free line has been set up to direct service issues to a new client support group. On Friday, Cadieux announced that a bonus program for CLBC management has been terminated. “In a people-first organization like CLBC, an incentive plan based on targets and measures is, quite simply, not appropriate,” said a statement from the ministry. No targets or measures. As Premier Christy Clark was recently reminded on health care, even talk of defined cost control is too politically risky.

LETTERS Working hard not getting people ahead Re: Nothing wrong with rewarding hard workers (Letters, Oct. 21) Obviously the writer doesn’t get it. His examples relate to exactly why people are protesting. For every Jimmy Pattison success story there are millions who work, and have worked, far harder and are struggling or poor. The increasing cost of making ends meet and the average person’s overwhelming housing debt load and increasing taxes makes it extremely difficult just to get by. Governments have contributed to the present situation by using tax dollars for business bailouts, dramatically reducing taxes to corporations and the rich, eroding consumer protections through the elimination of public utility and monopoly laws, then permitting deregulation and amalgamation. Free trade agreements have allowed wholesale outsourcing of jobs and resources to countries that exploit cheap goods and labour. This has inevitably led to a situation where, as the Oak Bay News editorial (Oct. 19) rightly points out, “The middle class is being swallowed by layoffs, taxes and debt,” and “People are unhappy as life becomes more difficult.”

People gather at the Occupy Victoria rally in Centennial Square earlier this month. One of the Occupy movement’s premises is that the gap between the rich and everyone else is growing, a situation one reader points out. In the past there have no doubt been benefits to our system, but that was before this current economic imbalance. We pay world market prices for our own gas and many of our own commodities, and now B.C. Hydro wants the same for electricity prices. Yet very few countries have our hydroelectric power capabilities. Soon, many Canadians will be wondering

exactly what they are getting out of our abundant natural resources. Massive outsourcing of jobs in the United States has resulted in massive unemployment; a CNN report stated only 62 per cent of American males have jobs. One prominent American scientist said recently, “You can’t destroy the economic base of your system and survive.” Employment is vital to

business, otherwise people won’t have money to buy goods. We are following this same road in Canada with a much higher tax load. Politicians must rethink the impact many of their decisions have had on the average Canadian citizen. Government decisions must be based on the health and well-being of the Canadian community. Anthony Mears Oak Bay

Readers respond: Municipal election, fire truck, Reid column Range of candidates encourages voter

Gift to Nicaragua important support

My husband and I are thrilled to see a wide variety of candidates running in November’s municipal election. We have often felt that municipal elections are an opportunity to actively participate in shaping the kind of community we want to live in and be a part of. From Nils Jensen’s platform suggestion to put processes in place to better access provincial and federal funding support, to Michelle Kirby’s aptitude for engaging community members in local issues and Tara Ney’s determination to create a safe and health community – I think this year’s election will be a chance to vote for some very knowledgeable, experienced and committed individuals to govern this amazing community. My family will be voting and I hope yours will be too. Britt Karlstrom Oak Bay

Re: Retired pumper on its way south (News, Oct. 14) Accolades to Chief Gerry Adam for getting the used fire truck down to Nicaragua, where it will come in most handy. This is important because, as is solidly evidenced, the U.S. cares little for those people except to use them as a market, exploit them and their natural resources and has been perfectly happy to support dictators (as they are doing in Honduras) and destroy their environment and their lives. As a part of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America, Nicaragua no longer has dependency on the U.S., but the U.S. continues to try to kill Nicaragua’s independence. One hopes that the fire truck is being shipped free of charge, as container ships can be very expensive. We know this from experience sending humanitarian aid to

Cuba, which was hammered and ravaged so badly by three hurricanes in 2008. People across Canada were, however, able to raise more than $400,000 to assist a country which experienced more than $4 billion in damage. Union workers have also been very helpful in situations such as this. Foster Griezic Oak Bay

Aging in place important for seniors I am in total agreement with Dr. Linda Reid’s concerns in

her excellent guest column (Opinion, Oct. 5) regarding the Campus of Care currently offered at Oak Bay Lodge. She speaks of her concern not only for her own parents, but for other seniors, like me, who want to know that they can plan to live in one facility and ‘age in place.’ This is very important for Greater Victoria and indeed wherever seniors live. I hope lots of people will take time to write about this issue to Baptist Housing, 125-6165 Hwy. 17, Delta B.C., V4K 5B8, or call 604-940-1960. Nan Fairchild Oak Bay

Vision Matters Dr. Neil Paterson

Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

Double Vision The sudden onset of double vision is a frightening experience. Double vision occurs when the two eyes don’t point at the same object. Each eye sends an image to the brain which attempts to superimpose the two images. When this works we have depth perception, when it doesn’t we have “diplopia” or double vision. Some people experience occasional diplopia when they are tired or taking certain medications. This occurs because the central control of the muscles used to align the eyes is compromised. This condition, while a nuisance, disappears when the cause is remedied. Sometimes diplopia occurs for no apparent reason. Possible causes include a stroke, a tumor, diabetes or multiple sclerosis. It is important to have a medical evaluation to ensure nothing untoward has occurred. Often normal vision returns gradually. Spectacles with prism can be helpful in aligning the images until the diplopia has resolved or stabilized. If you suffer from double vision, be sure to have a thorough examination by an optometrist regularly.

Nearly three years since a pipe burst above their condo unit, the Prescotts have finally resolved the problem with their strata council. Since filing a claim through the Provincial Small Claims Court in June 2010, the elderly Victoria couple won $8,000 in a settlement reached in August. “It felt like winning the lottery,” says daughter Deborah Groenheyde, who lives in Hawaii, but has travelled to Victoria to act on her parents’ behalf. The disagreement boils down to the quality of repairs to the damage in the Prescotts’ unit at 1715 Richmond Rd. The protracted and bitter experience cost $1,500 in legal fees and has left Groenheyde exasperated at the regulations governing strata councils in B.C. “The whole strata thing is simply out of control,” she said in an email to the News. The government seems to be listening. In response to growing

Deryk Norton, director of the Vancouver Island Strata Owners Association calls it a small, but positive step. He’s optimistic the proposed tribunal will be an improvement over current options. Right now, the avenues open to strata owners in dispute are to take the matter to court, which is costly, or arbitration, which is “vague and unpredictable,” Norton said. The government’s online discussion paper and survey on the issue, however, leaves Norton with several questions. “The whole thing is silent on the accountability of condo developers and strata managing companies,” he said. “Their actions could be at the heart of

the dispute.” A management company could provide self-serving advice to a strata council that runs contrary to the Act, he said. “I run into that a lot, which raises questions about the ethics and the competence of the strata manager.” Similarly, he said, condo developers sometimes fail to hand over important documents, leaving the strata council with inadequate information about the building. Strata councils can then run into problems when it’s time to do maintenance. The Ministry of Housing, however, disputes the gap in the tribunal’s jurisdiction. “Owner-developers could be subject to the proposed tribunal’s jurisdiction,” said a ministry spokesperson in an email. Some complex issues, however, “are best heard by the courts. Some of these involve owner-developers of phased strata plans, and we are looking for input through this consultation on whether that is appropriate.” Strata managers, on the other hand, are regulated by the Real Estate Services Act and therefore not covered by the Strata Property Act.

You want him to be proud of what we’ve done with his music.” The world première of Stormwatch, Stormfall is set for Nov. 1, 8 p.m., at University of Victoria’s Phillip T. Young Recital Hall in the MacLaurin Building. Entrance to the concert is free. There will also be a pre-concert talk 45 minutes

before the show. Additionally, Davies will speak on his life and work on Oct. 31, 7:30 p.m., in UVic’s Bob Wright Centre in the Sciences building, an event arranged by music professor Christopher Butterfield, who saw Davies speak in England many years back. “He’s very personable and entertaining, and he’s had a long and productive career,” Butterfield said. “When I’d heard he’d be in

Victoria, I just thought it would be a shame not to have him speak.” The 77-year-old composer has written music for operas, ballets and musical theatre. He’s composed eight symphonies, 14 concertos and several orchestral works. Widely recognized as one of the best living composers, Davies was knighted in 1987 and took his position in the Royal Household in 2004. editor@oakbaynews.com

Clarification

In the article “Theatre staging drives social change: author” (Arts, Oct. 21), a quote that ended with, “But you can never take away their story,” was incorrectly attributed to University of Victoria instructor Will Weigler. The statement was actually a paraphrase of a comment made by Virginia-based Roadside Theatre playwright and actor Ron Short. editor@oakbaynews.com

Curling, and the kids World Men’s curling could bump Royals’ playoff dates Travis Paterson News staff

When the 2013 World Men’s Curling Championship in Victoria was announced last week, a new generation of curlers was there for the historic occasion. Two dozen members of the Esquimalt High curling academy, a program born from the Victoria Curling Foundation legacy of the 2005 World Men’s championship, attended the press conference in the restaurant at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre. Executive board member Graham Prouse of the World Curling Federation made the announcement for the 12-team event, which will run March 30 to April 7 in 2013. Esquimalt Grade 12 students Robyn Fraser, Carlene Fanthorpe and Sean Harrington did not get to any matches in 2005 but all hope to attend the competition in 2013 World Men’s. “It’s really exciting, just the chance to see worldclass curlers here in town,” Fraser said. A longtime curler, Fraser was among the spectators at the Scotties in 2009 in Victoria. This year she supported Fanthorpe’s decision to join the curling academy though the latter had no previous experience with the sport. “It’s been really welcoming and fun. I’m not sure if I’d be playing otherwise,” said Fanthorpe of the academy. The same goes for Harrington. A regular on the school’s wrestling and soccer teams, Harrington will learn curling in his final year. The academy practices three times per week and most members will play in the Optimist Club’s high school curling league this winter. “There could be five Esquimalt teams playing in the high school league this winter, I’m looking forward to it,” Harrington said.

Royal regards Dave Dakers, president of RG Properties sports and entertainment division, which operates SaveOn-Foods Memorial Centre, is excited about the return of the world men’s curling championship. However, the tournament does pose a potential problem for the WHL’s Victoria Royals, the rink’s main tenant. “The Royals will hopefully be in a playoff run at that time but (that would be) a problem we’d love to have,” Dakers said. “If we have to play at Bear Mountain (Arena) or elsewhere, that’s fine by me.” sports@vicnews.com

Saanich’s Wade Murphy part of Grizzlies offensive explosion Travis Paterson News staff

The thing scouts will tell you about Wade Murphy is he’s still growing. Not just his physical size, but his game as well. With that in mind, the Victoria Grizzlies forward is content to play this season and next in the B.C. Hockey League before joining Merrimack College in Massachusetts for 2013. “I’m OK with it. There’s things in my game that need work, (such as) my defensive zone and physical play,” Murphy said. Murphy’s commitment to Merrimack came just last week, with a “full-ride” scholarship on the table. He turned away offers from other schools, including Penn State. Thing is, the upside is starting to look way up for the latebloomer out of the Spectrum Hockey Academy and junior B Saanich Braves. “I remember first seeing Murphy as a 14-year-old. He was small, but you could already see he was a smart player and a great passer,” said Grizzlies assistant coach and general manager Vic Gervais. “He plays smart in all three zones and is doing a good job on the wall.” As of Monday, Murphy was

leading the Grizzlies’ resurrection (6-6) after the team went winless in the first five games of the season. He’s on pace for 144 points with 10 goals and 24 points in his first 11 games. It’s already eight more points than Murphy scored in 56 games last season. Add to that Murphy is now 6-foot, 180 lbs., and just turned 18 on Saturday – the same day as the team’s 7-5 win over the Chilliwack Chiefs, in which Murphy recorded three assists for the second-straight game.

“We were starting to wonder whether (Murphy) was going to produce and now he’s dominating the league...” – Vic Gervais “It’s Tyler Bozak-type numbers, three and four points a game,” Gervais said, referring to the 128 points scored by the current Toronto Maple Leafs centre when he was with the Grizzlies in 2006-07. Gervais was at the helm as general manager in 2009-10 when Murphy regularly practised with the Grizzlies in the afternoon before crossing town to suit up for the Saanich Braves at night. Since that time the Grizzlies have moved a lot of players in and out but Murphy was

Kick off is 3:30 p.m. with the junior teams playing at 1 p.m. The Rams are recovering from a huge game, having lost to the Vancouver College Fighting Irish 24-19 in Vancouver on Saturday.

Travis Paterson/News staff

Wade Murphy is the latest Victoria Grizzlies player to sign an NCAA scholarship, having received a full ride to Merrimack College in Massachusetts, beginning 2013. never on the block, Gervais said. “Here’s a prime example of why you don’t trade a guy like that. We always knew (Murphy) had it in him (to score points),” Gervais said. “We were starting to wonder whether he was going to produce and now he’s dominating the league on a line with (Wes) Myron and (Jarryd) Ten Vaanholt. They’re big and they’re tough to handle.” Murphy joins Grizzlies blueliner Nolan de Jong as the most recent players from Spectrum’s academy to sign NCAA deals. In September, the 16-year-old de Jong committed to Cornell University for 2014. Fellow Grizzlies player Braxton Bilous is also committed to Merrimack for

return for the Rams’ only other touchdown. Earlier in the week the junior Rams showed another glimpse of the Rams’ promising future by knocking off the junior Fighting Irish 34-6. Prior to playing the Fighting Irish the senior Rams were ranked 11th in the country by Canada Football Chat.

Hockey season ends for Vikes women

The UVic Vikes women’s field hockey season closed with a 2-2 tie against the Calgary Dinos on Sunday. The Dinos will host the CIS National Championships while the young Vikes squad finished with a 2-8-2 record.

2013. Murphy and Myron have played together since their days as minor hockey players and most recently in major midget with the 2008-09 South Island Thunderbirds. It’s only a matter of time before Myron is the next Grizzly to sign an NCAA deal, added the coach. “Myron’s flying around this week to St. Cloud, Boston and North Hampshire universities.”

Next in line Saanich Braves rookie Shawn McBride is only 16 years old but has 10 points in his first 12 games and is one to watch, Gervais said. sports@vicnews.com

Vikes Marisa Davidson and Sam Purcell scored in Sunday’s tie, while Courtney Low and Whitney Siegmann scored in the Vikes’ 6-2 loss to Calgary on Saturday. Meanwhile, coaches voted Victoria product Robyn Pendleton as the 2011 Canada West field hockey MVP. The fourth-year kinesiology student was second in Canada West soring with six goals, which helped the UBC Thunderbirds to first place, a ninth straight conference title and a spot at next month’s nationals in Calgary. UVic and national team player Kaitlyn Williams was named Canada West goalkeeper of the year. Williams split the fall between the two teams and was in net for Robyn Pendleton both of UVic’s wins.

GIVE THEM A PAPER ROUTE! 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. All it takes is an hour or so after school Wednesday and Friday. And even better... there are no collections required.

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.

Dear BBB, I just received a call from an aggressive sales person claiming they were a representative of the local hydro company. The caller claimed that they had some sort of energy conservation product that would substantially reduce my hydro bill. The deal sounded pretty good, but the sales person was rude and pushy so I hung up the phone. Now I am regretful that I didn’t take advantage of this offer. Do you happen to know anything more about this energy saving product? ~ Conscientious Consumer Conscientious Consumer, You are likely WRONG about having missed out on a great energy conservation product and probably RIGHT to have just hung up the phone on this sales person. The BBB has recently received an influx of calls from consumers reporting deceptive and misleading sales practices related to a device known as a “power saver device.” Reports suggest that some telephone sales people have been misleading consumers into thinking they are calling on behalf of a local or provincial power company. The caller then claims that they have a power saver device available that will reduce the currents on power supplies and appliances in the consumer’s house. Hydro savings promised range from 25% to 50%. The device itself is being sold on average for somewhere around $150.00. Many of the consumers that have called the BBB allege that the power saver device does not work. While there may be some companies out there selling legitimate products capable of helping you to reduce your energy consumption, it is important for consumers to be aware that there are also companies selling power saving devices that are reported to not work and which do not meet the Electrical Safety Authority’s Canadian Safety Standards. This is a great example of why it is really important to do your research before purchasing any product.

Museum opens doors to spooky past Arnold Lim News staff

Ghost tours, a ghost hunt and a maniacal musical set sail on a haunted Halloween at the Maritime Museum of British Columbia. The museum kicks off Fright-Fest with Ghost Tours, an annual Halloween favourite taking audiences through an hour-long tour sharing tales of the ghostly sights and sounds including stories of the infamous Hanging Judge, who is said to keep a silent vigil at the museum. “It is a good way to get scared and it is a fun hour to spend. You can hear the creepy stories of what happened here because it has such a colourful past,” said museum marketing and communications manager MaryAnne

Dieno. “Apparently there are a few bodies left under the ground here.” Tickets are $13. Shows start at 6 p.m. from Oct. 27 to 30. Music will also be in the air with Nevermore, a musical based on the life of poet Edgar Allan Poe that brings the original Supreme Court

of British Columbia (located in the museum) back to life, or death, with the truelife tale. “It creates quite a creepy atmosphere. The premise is dark and it is really a unique way to watch a production,” Dieno said about the show, adding that audiences sit in the pews of the

former courtroom. “You are engaged with it – you are not set back from it.” Nevermore plays 8 p.m. Oct. 27 to 29 and Nov. 3 to 5 with a special midnight performance scheduled for Oct. 29. Tickets are $20 in advance or $15 at the door. For more proactive ghost fans, Ghost Hunts returns with clairvoyant medium Dawn Kirkham who brings years of experience, along with an electromagnetic field detector and a

ghost radio to help facilitate the ghostly investigation. “Skeptics or believers can come and see what could happen here and what shows itself,” Dieno said. “When you go to places for ghost tours you tend to take the passive role – this way you get to participate as part of the investigation.” Ghost Hunts runs Oct. 28 and Nov. 5 from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. Tickets are $55.

Ghost hunters come out for Halloween tours Cemeteries are to Halloween what souls are to people who believe in an afterlife. And that’s why the Old Cemeteries Society Of Victoria’s special Ghost Bus-tours slated for the nights leading up to Halloween night are such a big hit. Put on and narrated by historian and ghost expert John Adams on behalf of the society, the two-hour tours have never in their 18-year history failed to be among the most popular Halloween activities in Victoria. Each year offers a different ghostly route exploring the region’s well- and lesser-known ghost haunts, Adams said. Done in the comfort of a coach, the tours include two stops that give participants a chance to try some on-the-spot ghost hunting for themselves, said Adams. The Ghost Bus-tours are the Old Cemeteries Society’s biggest fundraiser. The tours are scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 29 and 30, with an extra tour slated for 9 p.m. on Oct 28 and 29. Tickets cost $32 in advance and can be booked through Tourism Victoria at 250-953-2033 or www.tourismvictoria.com/ghosts. editor@oakbaynews.com
