Deadline too tight for Lodge plans, say residents Proposal will come back before council Nov. 14 Erin Cardone News staff
Plans to build a new seniors care home in Oak Bay are “being rushed through,” said a neighbour to the site. John Rankin, who lives on Hampshire Road and shares a property line with Oak Bay Lodge said he and nearby residents are upset at the speed with which the proposal to replace the Lodge with a new facility has moved through the process. “The first public meeting was in September, and here we are Oct. 24 and they have gone to the notice period so it could be approved by Nov. 14,” he said. Rankin was at Monday night’s council meeting, where Baptist Housing again presented revised plans for Garry Oak Village, which would accommodate 40 more residents than Oak Bay Lodge. The proposed building is twice the current facility’s square footage, and at six storeys is 5.47 metres taller at its highest point than the Lodge. The new plan eliminates previous concerns over on-street parking by moving parking onto the property, closes access to the facility from Cranmore Road – a safety concern – and makes all access via Cadboro Bay Road, except for emergency vehicles.

Smart meters handy in La Niña winter: Hydro Rudy Haugeneder News staff
Greater Victoria will be hit hard this winter as the La Niña phenomenon makes its return, according to a prominent U.S.based weather forecasting company. However, Environment Canada doesn’t predict the cold, stormy weather will be as severe as Accuweather suggests. B.C. Hydro, whose crews and infrastructure would bear the brunt of a brutal cold
snap, isn’t planning any changes to its usual winter preparations. But thanks to smart meters, it will be easier for B.C. Hydro to pinpoint outage locations, even when customers are asleep and don’t know the power has gone out, said company spokesperson Ted Olynyk. The information will make it easier for Hydro to dispatch repair crews to the sites serving the most people, he said. For those worried they will be caught in a deep freeze without sufficient emergency
supplies to stay comfortable, Olynyk said it’s good for families to ensure they have an emergency kit to deal with natural disasters, including a major earthquake. “People need to prepare,” he said. “Have an emergency plan for any extreme.” La Niña, which is the opposite of El Niño, is a regular weather pattern that brings colder air than normal to Canada as well as higher than usual snowfalls to the West Coast. editor@oakbaynews.com

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF
Friday concert benefits women’s centre
Sam Van Schie News staff
Halloween has hit Oak Bay village, with dozens of carved pumpkins in shop windows and hundreds more set up behind the municipal hall. Hand carved by Victoria artist John Vickers, the plastic pumpkins will be on public display today (Oct. 28) through Halloween Monday. The Pumpkin Art show is in Oak Bay for the first time this year, having been previously hosted at the Victoria Truth Centre, Government House and, in its early days from 1998 to 2002, in Vickers’ Fairfield front lawn. To celebrate the new location, 51-year-old Vickers has been busy putting Oak Bay councillors’ faces on pumpkins and carving iconic locations in the district, such as the clock tower. “I add new pumpkins to the display every year,” Vickers said, noting he’ll also be updating several of his existing themed displays including the one of the Royal family, which now needs a pumpkin of Prince William’s bride, Catherine. Oak Bay Mayor Christopher Causton said the district jumped on the opportunity to host the display. “It’s one of those fortuitous things, we have the space to display it and store it, and it seemed like a natural fit for Oak Bay,” Causton said, noting the collection will be stored under Athlone Court with other seasonal displays. Besides the pumpkins, the installation

It takes a crew three days to set it up. Heather Leary is co-ordinating the event for the Oak Bay Business Improvement Association. She says the size of the pumpkin display is what attracts people to it. “It’s kind of magic,” she said. “There’s something all ages will recognize, whether it’s the Toy Story pumpkins or The Beatles.” Association president Elizabeth Smith expects families from across Greater Victoria will come to Oak Bay Village to see it. “It’s quite a magnificent display,” she said. The preview pumpkins on display in merchants’ windows since Monday have already attracted attention. “Walking through the Village in the evening with all the pumpkins lit up in windows, it’s
really something to see,” Smith said. Admission to the main pumpkin display is by donation, with all proceeds going to the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock. editor@oakbaynews.com

Dog attack on Oak Bay Avenue was sparked by fight Quarrelling pair agitate dog, random passerby bit on leg Erin Cardone News staff
A woman was the “unsuspecting” victim of a dog attack in the 2100-block of Oak Bay Avenue last week. The owner of a young German shepherd had tied his dog to a railing while he went into a store Oct. 20. Meanwhile, a man and woman were embroiled in a verbal and physical fight near the dog, said senior animal control officer Ian Fraser. “Then a (second) lady walked past and the dog just lunged up
and bit her on the leg,” Fraser said. Oak Bay police called the injury “substantial” – the woman was taken to hospital for stitches. Investigators from Victoria Animal Control labelled the attack as indirectly provoked, Fraser added. The distinction is important. Had the attack been unprovoked, he said, the owner would have been required, under the municipal animal control bylaw, to keep the dog muzzled and leashed whenever it wasn’t at home. Such an attack also requires dog owners to post a sign at home indicating the presence of a vicious dog on the property. Fines for contravening the bylaw start at $50. In this case, Fraser said, the fighting couple agitated the dog. Teth-
POLICE NEWS IN BRIEF
ered and unable to run, he said, the dog had only its fight instinct remaining and the approaching woman was seen as a threat. “Here is a perfect example of why it is not a good idea to leave a dog tied and unattended in any public place,” he said. “In that three- or four-minute period of time, you don’t know who’s coming or going (near your dog).”
No charges laid after driver hits cyclist A cyclist was struck by a vehicle last week at the intersection of Neal Street and Foul Bay Road. The vehicle was travelling

across Foul Bay along Neal at 6 p.m. on Oct. 19 when it hit the cyclist, who was riding north on Foul Bay. The rider suffered minor injuries and the investigating officer decided against ticketing the driver.
Erratic driver caught with pot A swerving and erratically moving vehicle caught the attention of officers on patrol early on Oct. 19. The vehicle’s driver, a 37-yearold man, was pulled over on Beach Drive near Windsor Road just after 3 a.m. Police found him in possession of a small amount of marijuana, which they seized. The man’s driver’s licence was suspended for 24 hours and his vehicle impounded for the same period. He wasn’t charged.
Dog credited for interrupting theft A barking dog might have stopped a break-in to a vehicle by scaring off a suspect. At 8:30 a.m. on Oct. 17, a homeowner living in the 2000-block of Newton Street called police to report her vehicle’s window was smashed. She said she remembered her dog barking excessively at 1:30 that morning. Police found fingerprints and blood, leading them to believe the suspect was cut. Nothing was missing from the vehicle. Forensic experts collected the blood sample and will submit the DNA information into a national database, to see if it matches DNA from a suspect charged with or convicted of other crimes. ecardone@vicnews.com

Heritage trumps energy reduction
A proposal to replace drafty windows with energy efficient models at the Oak Bay fire hall was stalled by a 3-3 vote during Monday’s council meeting.
As a result, council asked that the matter be sent back to the Oak Bay heritage committee for advice. Coun. Pam Copley led the charge against replacement of the windows, citing concerns over heritage alteration of the hall. Fire Chief Gerry Adam argued in vain that the new windows wouldn’t alter the look of the building and would yield a 20-per-cent reduction in energy costs. The original three-bay hall was built in 1938 and two bays were added some years later.

OUR VIEW
Occupy Victoria facing quandary It’s been described as a movement of presence rather than a movement of protest. Occupy Wall Street continues to gather momentum in cities around the world, including downtown Victoria. While the mantra of this movement is “keep going and do not stop,” the time is coming for this nascent revolution to shift its positive energy into a new manifestation of the cause. We’re not sure exactly what that will look like, but we know what it can’t allow itself to become. Occupy Wall Street and the hundreds of localized versions happening across the planet are about an inclusive call for change. So far, the swelling protest has avoided the kind of controversy that would sway public opinion against it. In Victoria, one of the biggest concerns is that the occupation of Centennial Square would be co-opted by activists who think camping should be allowed in all public spaces. But whatever side of that argument you’re on, this current “protest” must continue to resist being defined. The movement is an expression of frustration with how our political and financial system appear to be tilted toward the financial elites. The pendulum has swung too far and there simply is not enough trickle down to keep the masses happy. That said, if the hope is to empower people, then the Victoria occupiers will soon find themselves in the uncomfortable situation of being seen as the ones forcing their will on the very public they claim to represent. Centennial Square traditionally becomes a focal point for the community as we get deeper into the fall. An ice rink will offer an opportunity for families to skate for a toonie and annual Christmas celebrations inspire deep feelings of goodwill throughout our community. These are not things the Occupy Wall Street movement wants to protest. By all means keep going, but don’t stop the people from enjoying what is already a welcoming public space for the 99 per cent.

Occupy protest about recognizing hard work Re: Nothing wrong with rewarding hard workers (Letters, Oct. 21) That is what this protest is all about – people who work hard fixing our roads, delivering our mail, working for Air Canada and don’t forget wage earners in the service industry, who also help keep this country running. When I started out I was able to buy my first home shortly after reaching 30. That cost me $4,500. But as I understand it, today’s young couples face prices like a half million, and evidently both must work, even while bringing up children! How are we going to change the system? Our politicians need to find some balance between socialism and capitalism. Good luck with that. Andy Mulcahy Victoria
CEOs’ hard-earned wealth should be shared with employees Re: Nothing wrong with rewarding hard workers (Letters, Oct. 21) The letter-writer seems to forget that Alex Campbell Sr. et al, didn’t make all their money by themselves. As an example, David Hahn (B.C. Ferries) made $1 million a year and a sweet pension while the employees got zero and two per cent raises over three years. Thus the slogan: “Share the gravy, Davey.” They all made their fortunes on the backs of others. Many of the employees of Alex Campbell, Jim Pattison and Steve Jobs are the working poor. I would like to see a pay structure where an employee’s pay is established in relation to what the highest paid executive gets. If that amount is, say, $2 million a year, each employee gets paid 10 per cent of that amount, $200,000. And everyone gets a similar pension plan.

Unlike the United States, Canada is a socialist democracy. Unfortunately our politicians seem to ignore that fact. Instead of spending our money on ending poverty, they spend it on jets and new roofs for stadiums. This letter-writer needs to take off his blinders, get out of his Mercedes, take a stroll down Pandora Avenue, and volunteer at a food bank. B. Horsfall Victoria
Working hard not getting workers ahead these days 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 on 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. 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.

True graffiti ‘artists’ need not hide their identities Technology has become more important than art (Letters, Oct. 14) Graffiti is not usually valued as high art when it is spray-painted on city surfaces. That’s when it becomes a public nuisance. Much of the graffiti I’ve observed locally has no higher messages of rebellion against authority or the artistic expression to be gleaned. It’s just a mess that has to be cleaned up at someone else’s expense. If graffiti is to become acceptable, it needs to be created by artists who are not hooded men doing their work under the cover of darkness. Brian Butterfield Victoria

A long planned-for Christmas season public skating rink,

association can install the temporary 17- by 11-metre ice rink in the square by Nov. 21. While no solution had been found by mid-week, association general manager Ken Kelly said he expects his organization and the People’s Assembly of Victoria

representatives will sort out the situation. The association has been planning the ice rink project since mid-August – almost seven weeks before the Assembly held its first organizational meetings. People’s Assembly supporters live in about 60 tents that were set up at Centennial Square on Oct. 15 after a day-long protest and downtown march by about 1,000 people as part of worldwide protests against corporate and banking industry greed, and economic control. Saying he personally supports the “spirit” of Occupy Victoria in finding solutions to social and economic ills facing the community, Kelly said: “I would be really very surprised if there is nothing but co-operation between us” in ensuring the rink will be set up. Occupy Victoria media spokesperson Jason Thompson said the group’s general assembly wants “to accommodate the public,” probably by moving the tents away a few metres from the proposed skating rink. “We don’t want to impede public use (of Centennial Square),” he said. editor@vicnews.com

Saanich resident David Lai created document after lifetime of studies Roszan Holmen News staff
After getting a showing in Parliament on Oct. 6, a postersized chart summarizing Chinese Canadian history from 1788 to the present day had its Victoria debut recently with an audience including several prominent community leaders of Chinese descent. Project author and Saanich resident David Lai drew on his lifetime of studies of Chinese immigration and settlement in Canada to produce the chart. “Dr. Lai needs no introduction – he is, after all, Mr. Chinatown,� said emcee Grace Wong Sneddon about the 35-year University of Victoria professor emeritus of geography, who has surveyed more than 40 Chinatowns in North America and Australia in his career. Lai addressed the attendees, including senator and project patron Vivienne Poy and Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA Ida Chong, with his typical humour. Turning down the lights for a slideshow presentation, he sent this invitation: “If you feel sleepy, you can doze. I will wake you up after.�

Detail of a poster of Chinese Canadian history, running from 1788 to the present day, created by David Lai. Using a railroad as a visual to ground the timeline, Lai’s chart begins with the first Chinese labourers, brought by the British to build a fortress in Nootka Sound. It ends with the 2006 apology by Parliament for the discrimination faced by Chinese immigrants who paid a head tax. Victoria plays a central role in the national story of Chinese Canadian heritage as the first landing point, in the early days of the Fraser River gold rush. With the introduction of the head tax in 1885, Chinese immigrants coming from Hong Kong were taken to an immigration office in Victoria, resembling a prison, where they had to wait until they or their

The chart project, launched by the David Lam Centre at Simon Fraser University, was first done 10 years ago, said David Choi, the centre’s adjunct professor. “This (version) has been completely revised and rewritten,� he said.

Illustrators’ private worlds captured for exhibit Photographer’s images paired with artworks for showing at Cedar Hill Rec Centre’s gallery café Erin Cardone News staff
Among illustrators, there’s a sense of community. It stems from the isolationist nature of their work, said illustrator Barbara WeaverBosson, but also from the fact their work often serves as a complement to a story. Often, illustrators’ work isn’t shown in galleries, rather it appears in children’s books or other texts. “Generally an illustration is used (for a purpose) where you’re using it to match a thematic bit with a story,” Weaver-Bosson said. “That could be in the way of editorial or a children’s story. It supports the text or even enhances the text or manuscript. You don’t always have to be literal when you’re an illustrator, but you’re always an artist first.” Twenty-five years ago, a group of local artists formed the Island Illustrators’ Society, meeting monthly at the former North Park Gallery. “We all spoke the same language, even though some of us were designers, some were photogs,” Weaver-Bosson said. “We were wanting to communicate with the public how our group can be useful in the community, and help with business and support and mentor each other. We all became hugely connected and good friends.” To celebrate the group’s silver anniversary, members are showing a selection of their works, called Celebrate Success: 25 Years of the Island Illustrators’ Society, at Cedar Hill Recreation Centre’s gallery café. The illustrators’ works are paired with self-written narratives about their work and photographs by local photographer Raymond St. Arnaud, who shot each artist in his or her studio. “One of the things I tried to do was, if the artist had a space, I tried to show what they see outdoors, or if they were daydreaming,” St. Arnaud said. “I didn’t do that all the time, but I’m trying to show the space or the environment that

I show up and see what they do, where they work and how things are placed. Eventually, they seem to settle themselves into kind of a natural, comfortable place.” In all, St. Arnaud photographed 68 local illustrators. Each of those photos is in a new book he’s launching in conjunction with the
exhibit called The Island Illustrators’ Society … 25th anniversary … 68 studio visits. Illustrator Sandy Terry said the pictures are like “a window into the creators’ world.” “The reason I love it is (because) where an artist creates is a very special place. It’s like your sanctuary where you’re making something that hasn’t existed before. To have that space and have it photographed – I love that (St. Arnaud) is taking you into that private world.” ecardone@vicnews.com

Shutouts, ties and wins, oh my Unbeaten streak intact as nationalsbound Vikes take first in Canada West
Kilpatrick is working at a masters in public health and social policy and is one of a few players returning after time away from the Vikes. Both Richmond and Miguel Romeo missed last season, though Kilpatrick was there as an assistant coach. Kilpatrick was also a member of the Gorge senior men’s team that won silver at the 2010 Canadian national championships. Richmond and Oberg did not dress on Sunday, nursing minor injuries, but both will travel to the Prairies this weekend, Wilson said. Wilson gave a nod to David Adams, Cam Hundal, Craig Gorman, and the Barrett brothers, Wes and Gavin, as players who’ve come around and are making the Vikes successful.

It took a little luck but the UVic Vikes men’s soccer team escaped with its fifth straight win on Sunday, beating the Lethbridge Pronghorns 1-0 at Centennial Stadium. The Vikes downed the Calgary Dinos 3-1 on Saturday and are now first in Canada West and haven’t lost in 10 games dating back to a 2-1 loss against Trinity Western University on Sept. 10. Wins over the Saskatchewan Huskies (four wins, six losses and two ties) and Alberta Golden Bears(62-4) on the road this weekend would clinch first place for the Vikes (8-2-2), meaning they’d pick up the hosting priveleges for the Canada West Championship, Nov. 5 and 6. The Vikes automatically qualify as hosts of the Canadian Interuniver-

sity Sport Championships, Nov. 10 to 13. “We’re in the mix to win nationals, there’s no reason not to be,” said Vikes head coach Bruce Wilson. “But it’s a very tough Canada West (conference).” With fleet-footed Vikes Thomas Mallette and Andrew Ravenhill running freely in Lethbridge’s zone, Sun-

Calgary Dino Dustin Rudell and UVic Vike Thomas Mallette keep their eyes on the ball during the Vikes 3-1 win at Centennial Stadium on Saturday. day’s shutout could have come with a little less stress, Wilson said. “We could have finished on some of (our) chances. A bit of experience comes with these shutouts,” Wilson said, noting the Pronghorns had many dangerous chances. “Sometimes, teams in Lethbridge’s position (out of the playoffs) are like wounded animals. They’re most dangerous when they have nothing to play for.” Colin Wilson scored the Vikes’ only goal against Lethbridge, heading in a corner kick from Wes Barrett near the end of the first half. But with key veterans Peter Richmond and Jordie Oberg out of the lineup with minor injuries, the close score provided for a few hairy moments against the flow of the
play. One giant lob in the 90th minute arched over Vikes goalkeeper Daniel Kilpatrick and defender Bobby Eng, only to bounce square off the top of the crossbar. “Nervous,” Kilpatrick said about what he felt at the time. “It ended up getting between me and the striker. I was (left) hoping it would bounce over the bar.” It was the second win of the season for Kilpatrick, a fifth-year student who shares goalie duties with fellow Oak Bay High grad Eliott Mitrou (third-year). “We got the shutout which is all that matters, but hopefully we can get a few goals this weekend to give our back end a bit of a buffer,” Kilpatrick said.
Just six months ago Shannon Elder was patrolling midfield for the Claremont Spartans. Her team won the Island championship but fell in the provincial final. Elder’s penchant for big games continued this week as the roookie scored twice in three minutes to lift the Vikes women’s soccer team over the Fraser Valley Cascades 2-1 in Abbotsford on Saturday. The win keeps the Vikes women’s playoff hopes alive with a record of 6-4-3, tied for the fourth and final playoff spot in the Canada West standings with the Calgary Dinos (6-3-3). The Vikes host Fraser Valley (3-7-3) at noon tomorrow (Oct. 29) and need a win and some outside luck if they’re to make the Canada West Championship. Calgary has an extra game to play but also have a tough draw hosting first-place Trinity Western Spartans (10-1-1) and second-place UBC Thunderbirds (9-1-2) this weekend. sports@vicnews.com
Green pedals, Low pens into sports Hall of Fame Max Low first made headlines out of local athletes with the Daily Colonist in 1971 and now its his name that will live forever in the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame. Low retired in 1997. He is one of seven names to enter the Hall on Saturday night’s (Oct. 29) annual induction banquet at the Pacific Institute for Sport Excellence. Athletes Bob Bolitho, Gail Archibald, Roland Green and Gary Johnston will be celebrated alongside the Oak Bay Tennis Club and the 1974-75 London Boxing Club as the class of 2011.
Boots and balls A Gorge soccer product, Bob Bolitho was selected to Canada’s national team in 1974, competed in the 1976 Olympics, and was a member of the legendary 1978 Vancouver Whitecaps, which won the NASL Championship. At the same time Bolitho left Gorge, the crosstown rival London Boxing Club was the first Vic-
toria team to win the Canadian Soccer Championship in 1975, after 85 years of soccer in Victoria. While the 1970s were marked as the glory days of Canadian soccer, a rugby revival was underway in Victoria with forward Gary Johnston leading the pack. Johnston played for and coached the James Bay Athletic Association to provincial greatness. A pupil of previous Hall of Fame inductee Tillman Briggs (1996), Johnston played a key role with the 1980s and ’90s national teams and is famous for making national rugby stars out of unsuspecting Oak Bay High students. He remains a part of JBAA’s advisory staff today.
Not so soft star Softball star Gail Archibald was an elite pitcher in B.C. for the Polyettes and Victoria/Molson Vicettes from 1959-15 before moving to Vancouver where she played for the for Texaco and Eldorado teams from 1966-69.
During that time Archibald picked up top pitching awards while leading her teams to B.C., Canadian Northwest, Canadian Regional and Canadian Championship competitions.
Centennial recognition What was originally the B.C. Electric Railway employees’ tennis club became the modern-day Oak Bay Tennis Club when employees bought it in 1964. The club first operated at Windsor Park in 1911 and by 1923 had two courts to use and a social clubhouse on Bowker Street.

Powerful Bays want high school soccer titles Travis Paterson News staff
It took Etienne Boisvert five shots before he scored his first goal in Oak Bay’s 11-0 win over the Belmont Bulldogs on Oct. 18. At that point, Boisvert was pulled. It was his sixth goal in five matches and it was only 20 minutes into the game. Despite a significant disparity between the top and bottom teams of the Lower Island high school boys soccer league, the Oak Bay Bays know they need to keep focused and play as hard as they can. “It’s been four years since a Colonist Cup (city championship). We want to win one, and we believe we can take the B.C.s too,” Boisvert said. The Grade 12 student is part of a core on his team that also play for the Vancouver Island Wave U18 team in the new B.C. High Performance League along with Scott Jones (cocaptain), Ryan Postle, Daiki Hashimoto and Nick Woodcock. Throw into that mix Kalen Scott, back from the Whitecaps residency program, and cocaptain Brodie Keefe, who plays for the Gordon Head U21 men’s team, and it’s clear this year’s Bays have the talent to redeem themselves after finishing behind last year’s top boys teams, the Glenlyon Norfolk Gryphons and Claremont Spartans, in the battle for the city championship. Oak Bay hosted the Colonist Cup quarterfinal on Oct. 27, results were past press time. Claremont and Lambrick have clinched spots in the Colonist Cup semifinals at UVic on Tuesday, Nov. 1 at 3 p.m. In the Colonist Cup shield playoffs, St. Andrews plays at Mount Douglas and Spectrum plays at St. Michaels, 3 p.m. kickoffs Nov. 1. sports@vicnews.com

Give them power. Give them confidence. Give them control.
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.
It’s so easy to get started… call
