March roars in like a lionHigh winds that buffeted Greater Victoria on Monday cut off power to hundreds of customers in Oak Bay and knocked down trees along Beach Drive on the Victoria Golf Club course including this large evergreen.

Reduced restrictions for raising chickens in Oak Bay are one step closer to reality.
A series of recommendations for possible amendments to the municipality’s Animal Control bylaw were approved last Monday at a meeting of Oak Bay’s committee of the whole.
The biggest change outlined in a memo to council from Roy Thomassen, director of building and planning, would see an outright elimination of the minimum lot size required for keeping hens.
Lots smaller than 1,114 square metres would be permitted to house coops containing up to five hens, while those greater than or equal to that size could have up to 10 of the birds.
In addition, the rear and side lot setback requirement for coops would be reduced from 20 to 15 feet, and a rear lot line setback of 6.5 feet would be added where the lot abuts a lane.
Many of the recommendations are modelled off existing urban poultry regulations in Saanich and Vancouver. They include the elimination of current permit requirements in favour of a poultry registration system, and the introduction of coop size limitations.
The maximum allowable coop size would be 9.8 square metres, keeping it under the threshold where they would necessitate a building permit.
Education was also emphasized via the suggestion of adding information about backyard chickens to the municipality’s website.
There was some discussion at the meeting of the potential nuisance implications that urban poultry could pose.

Inside the principal’s office at École Willows elementary, four young classmates become animated, smil-ing as they recall the process of put-ting together a fundraiser.
Though the event, which collected pet food and money for Victoria’s SPCA shelter, was completed two weeks ago, it’s evident their enthusi-asm for the charity continues as their story snippets overlap each other.
“We decided that would be cool, trying to collect money (for the
shelter),” says Jessie Troughton, 10, describing how the idea came about at a play date.
Jessie, Olivia Osborne, 11, and 10 year olds Simi O’Rourke and Alisa Lyesina, all students in Jessica Caplette’s Grade 5 French immersion class, may simply be your normal, chatty pre-teen girls. But that excite-ment is part of the beauty of young people getting behind a cause: their energy often overcomes any logisti-cal challenges.
Like the one that arose when they considered holding a raffle.
“We found out that you have to have a gaming licence to do that,” Olivia says.
The girls brainstormed and deter-mined they would simply encourage fellow students to donate cans or
cash for the cause. Of course, there was more to it than that.
Students were each given a ticket for a draw – if they wore the school’s colours, red and white, on that day, they received two. The tick-ets offered a chance to win one of more than a dozen prizes collected by Simi at businesses around Oak Bay.
Spurred on by daily announcements over the school’s P.A. from the young orga-nizers, classes held canned pet food drives, while individual students tackled their own projects.
One boy brought in the proceeds from his birthday toonie party, while another raised more than $20 selling
their own artwork.In all, Simi says, more than 130
cans were collected and more than $400 in cash. “Our goal was $250,”
she says with a lumi-nescent smile.
For their own pets, one of the girls has a dog, another has a cat and a third has a fish. After visiting the shelter and interacting with the animals fol-lowing the campaign,
each was left feeling that their efforts were appreciated.
Jessie colourfully describes a talk-ing parrot who followed directions well.

Never mind that the counting method is
rather unscientific.The fact residents
around the Capital Region tallied more than two billion blos-
soms in the 2012 Victo-ria Flower Count gives tourism promoters their annual pre-spring ammunition to sell the
area to potential visi-tors.
“It allows us to talk about our weather before anyone else,” said Tourism Victo-ria executive mem-ber Helen Welch, who helped unveil the final tally Thursday (March 8) at the Victoria Con-ference Centre. “It’s a selling feature, the fact we have a mild cli-mate.”
John Espley, Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce board chair, got a little dig in him-self at folks in colder climes.
“We plant flowers in the winter,” he said. “Try to do that in Edmonton or Nova Scotia.”
In the community challenge, the City of Victoria hung onto its crown, with city blos-som counters identify-ing 731,226,432 in all.
The regionwide total was far from the record of 21 billion counted in 2010, but was well ahead of the 260 million counted last year, dur-ing a chilly winter.
The classroom com-petition for a trip to Butchart Gardens via LA Limousine was won by a class at Oak Bay’s Willows elementary school. The competi-tion was open to Grades four and five who prac-ticed using their multi-plication tables to par-ticipate.
The count began in 1976, as part of a cham-ber promotion called Victorian Days.
In a related tourism stunt, fresh daffodils were sent to media out-lets on the prairies and Central Canada.

The University of Victoria’s attempts to quell neighbours’ con-cerns surrounding a proposed parkade have apparently failed.
The university last week released five new design options for extra parking on campus – but the effort wasn’t enough for neighbour-
ing community associa-tions.
“I find it offensive. It’s pretty clear to me they’re manipulating (the information) to get the outcome they want,” said Barbara Raponi, president of the Cadboro Bay Resi-dents’ Association. “The impression I get is (UVic is saying): ‘We consulted with the com-munity associations,
and together we came up with these options, please pick one.’ And that’s not the case at all. The options we spe-cifically asked for, they didn’t present.”
UVic’s parkade first came before Saanich council last August, but it was sent back to the drawing board after councillors said it was “too big” and “in the wrong place.”
Little had changed when the school returned to council chambers in the fall – save for a variety of ways to camouflage the same building. Coun-cillors sent UVic away, again. They wanted UVic to seek meaning-ful public input.
Before last week’s open house, the uni-versity’s associate vice-president of campus planning said she was confident the five new options reflected the
public’s concerns.“There are lots of
considerations when you consider a parkade. We want to look at the financial implications. And are we provid-ing enough parking for people that’s conve-nient and accessible, and doesn’t overflow into the community?” said Kristi Simpson.
Raponi said her com-munity association sup-ported an option that saw the whole parkade moved from off McK-enzie Avenue and Gab-riola Road, to south of Centennial Stadium off McGill Road. That option wasn’t among the five UVic chose.
“It’s cheaper than building multiple
parkades, that loca-tion is less noticeable because it’s over by the stadium, plus traffic could either go onto to McKenzie or onto Ring Road, so it wouldn’t concentrate all the traf-fic on one road,” Rap-poni said.
Doug Clarke, who raises chickens at his Hampshire Road home, said most noise complaints occur because people buy chicks which turn out to be roosters, a problem which can be avoided by buying older birds.
“I’ve never had a rooster. I’ve always bought my chickens at about four months old,” Clarke said.
Given the relative lack of complaints in Oak Bay over the past year -- only two, according to Thomassen’s memo -- the best course of action is probably to handle problems on a case-by-case basis, said Coun. Kevin Murdoch.
“I think trusting people to do things properly, then dealing with nuisances as they come up is probably the way to go,” he [email protected]

Signs of spring are signal-ling the end of winter weather, but storms of a much greater magnitude are still in the fore-cast as the second solar storm of the year hit the Earth last week.
The extraterrestrial weather – caused by solar flares fol-lowed one- to two-days later by highly-charged proton-rich particle clouds – are strong enough to theoretically affect satellites and electronics once they collide with the planet’s magnetic field.
However, there is little to no chance their effects will be felt as solar storms continue over the next year or so.
“There’s nothing to be scared of, nothing to be afraid of,” said Dmitry Monin, astron-omer for the National Research Council of Canada on West Saanich Road. “It’s something we’ve been through many, many times. It’s something we know is going to happen and it will repeat itself in another 11 years.”
Monin is referring to the sun’s 11-year activity cycle, characterized by increased fluctuations of solar flares.
Even during times of high activity, such as the current period, effects of the solar
storms are very rare. The type of global positioning system operations that the storms may affect, Monin said, are most likely those needed for extremely accurate processes. For example, those involved with precise drilling – not the average smartphone user’s mapping needs. Similarly, the risk of health complications are limited to those with pre-existing heart conditions that may potentially be affected by a disturbance to the planet’s magnetic field.
Airplanes are generally rerouted around the North Pole during a solar storm as a precaution.
“The sun has been in a low active rate for years,” Monin
said. “It’s not surprising that we see more and more solar flares happening.”
A solar storm in 1989 caused a massive power grid failure in Quebec – something that wasn’t expected during the last two storms.
A more common side effect are visible aurora borealis outside of the usual northern regions and as far south as Mexico. Sky watchers do have an increased chance of seeing the lights over the days and months ahead, though clear skies and the brightness of the moon play a large role in catch-ing the phenomenon live.
The first solar storm of the year hit the Earth on Jan. 19.
Few effects felt here on Earth

Simpson said the university believes the five options achieve a balance of what they heard during public input.
All five options reduce the height of the structure to no higher than 14 metres – 5.5 metres lower than the original proposal. And concerns about the location should be mini-mized, too. Three of the five options on the table include building one or two parkades elsewhere on campus, in lieu of one large parking garage on McKenzie.
Don Gunn, acting president of the Gordon Head Residents’ Association, said the consensus among his association members was that the original proposal was better than any of these new options.
“We felt that (original) one was logical. The building was safe, it was convenient, it would serve a purpose in a logical spot. It probably wasn’t as esthetically pleasing as we would’ve liked, but it was OK,” he said.
Of the new options, Gunn said his association most favours
keeping the parkade in its orig-inal location, with two levels underground. “That said, that does present some problems, in terms of safety. We know that many, many people are not terribly keen about going into parkades that are closed in. The beauty of the first one was that it was all open, it was safe and secure parking – and that’s a biggie.”
He said his residents’ asso-ciation isn’t throwing its sup-port behind some of the other options because they limit future plans to create a more comprehensive “town centre” across Gabriola Road, toward the campus bookstore and tran-sit loop.
“Many of us in Gordon Head, we see the university in a some-what different light than some of our neighbours do,” Gunn said. “Gordon Head has developed its character, in many ways, as a result of the university. … And we’re suffering from many of the issues that accrue from having a university around us – traffic, parking, conversion of houses to student housing – but those are things we’re prepared to live
with and work through.”The university collected feed-
back from the public on the five options at three open houses this past week. You can also provide feedback online at uvic.ca/carsa.
The university will consider the input, then return to the community with a detailed design proposal in May. Once a second round of consultation is held, the project will go back before council.
The cost of the project may jump, depending on which option (or combination of options) is selected.
The original parkade came with a $20.1 million pricetag. The five options vary in price, ranging from $17.6 million to $38.5 million.
The parkade first came about as a joint application for a new Centre for Athletics, Recreation and Special Abilities sports facil-ity, with an attached parking garage.
The community has been fully supportive of the athletics facil-ity, Simpson said, so only the plans for parking have changed.

The stories began tumbling out as soon as last week’s column on teacher union indoctrination of students was posted on our websites.
Most parents, retired teachers and administrators requested anonymity, because their kids and grandkids still have to go to school, or they have relatives or fair-weather friends in the B.C. Teachers’ Federation who mustn’t be enraged by any contradiction of their dogma.
There was the Grade 3 art class in Langley where students were assigned to create anti-Bill 22 protest signs. There was the Grade 6 teacher in Greater Victoria who started a one-hour drill on BCTF talking points by telling students not to believe anything they see in the media. There was the middle school in the Gulf Islands that dismissed students early to force them all out in a show of solidarity against the latest of many legislated settlements.
And there were the BCTF-BCGEU pickets that blocked entrances to government offices here in Victoria, harassing, threatening and physically blocking office workers in an effort to force them to join the thousands bused in for the traditional howling show of strength for Big State Labour bosses on the legislature lawn.
In my 20 years of criticizing the policies and tactics of teacher
union radicals, I have had my office windows smashed twice. I have seen a mob of self-absorbed
strikers push a senior off the sidewalk into the snow. My daughter has been subjected to hard-left environmental propaganda in elementary school. I’ve never seen anything quite like this.
But hey, let’s be constructive here. First, I should emphasize I understand that these incidents do not represent the vast majority of dedicated teachers, who wouldn’t think of
intentionally abusing their position for personal or political gain. I mean that sincerely.
And thanks to all the teachers who sent me lecturing letters, particularly those who insist that they don’t really want another 16-per-cent raise, because their first priority is improving classroom resources.
Volume doesn’t permit individual responses to everyone.
Authors who begin along the lines of “Sir, you are an idiot” receive lower priority. If I don’t get back to you, please convey your willingness to accept a brief wage freeze to your union executive. They’ve scaled back some of their more egregious prep time and paid leave demands, but apparently your admirably altruistic message has not yet been absorbed.
And yes, I’m aware that the
Harvard study of class size and performance I mentioned last week examined charter schools in the United States. I understand that “charter school” is considered coarse language in B.C. As with health care, there must be no serious competitive dynamic or other dangerous experimentation permitted within the unionized state monopoly model.
And thanks for suggesting I’m an agent of the B.C. Liberals, who invented poverty 11 years ago.
East Van MLA Jenny Kwan touched on it in the debate on Bill 22. Children coming to inner city schools hungry, inadequately clothed, with lice. Abused children.
I can assure Kwan that these tragic realities are not confined to the hellish B.C. Liberal era of spending increases.
Indeed, I witnessed all these things in my three-room school in Tomslake, B.C. in the 1960s. Social Credit was to blame then.
I remember the school more for its great teachers than its undrinkable water or alcoholic principal.
And to all those who provide spelling-challenged advice on journalistic objectivity, here’s the thing. The first rule of opinion writing is to have one. I’m not looking for middle ground in the cold vacuum between Earth and Planet BCTF.

‘These incidents do not represent the vast majority of dedicated teachers.’
Net zero idea not sustainable
A net zero per cent wage increase mandate is not such an unreasonable concept in this atmosphere of tough economic times.
Looking at the current dispute between the province and B.C. teachers, one of the main issues has been the $2-billion gap on compensation between what the government is prepared to pay, and what the B.C. Teachers’ Federation has asked for. The government calls the union’s demands “unrealistic” given the current economic environment.
After the global recession in 2008, the government brought in a net-zero mandate for all public-sector agreements expiring after Dec. 31, 2009. The result is that a salary increase can only happen if there are savings found in other areas of the collective agreement.
When agreements expire, especially in the public service, employees have an expectation that they should see some improvement in their new agreement: a wage increase, more paid time off, or that the employer should contribute more towards the employees’ cost of benefits such as extended health and dental.
With net zero still being enforced, teachers are in a position where they must decide what they really desire from their contract. If they want an increase in paid sick days, for example, they will need to give up a benefit of equal monetary value to make up the difference.
When times are good, the government can afford to increase wages and benefits, but when times are tough, net zero is the way to go.
Net zero, however, is far from a sustainable strategy and the government has to start looking ahead to future negotiations.
Ironically, the teachers could be among the first to benefit from a non net-zero scenario. The mandate is slated to end June 30, opening up the potential for the teachers’ union to avoid if it delays bargaining long enough.
It could have an ‘us too’ effect on more than 100 other agreements signed by other unions since net zero was brought in.
One day a settlement will be reached that allows for wage increases, and the floodgates will open. Let’s hope the government has a plan to deal with upcoming agreements that lays the groundwork for future labour peace.

No problem too small for caring community
I would like to comment on the great community we live in.
My 11-year-old son was flying his remote control airplane with a brand new motor/gear box and propellor at Monterey school yard when it sadly flew out of sight.
We started searching the neighbourhood where we thought it might be. Neighbours were happy to have us search their backyard and came out and helped us.
We delivered flyers that night and the next day and soon received a call that it was found. The gentleman that found it even loaned my son a paper airplane book. Others phoned as they were going for a walk and wanted to help search for it.
The kindness and support of the community was heartwarming and reinforced what a caring community Oak Bay is.
Thank you everyone for your support and for the happy ending.

Government turns blind eye to teachers’ needs
The provincial government is pretty quick picking our pockets for substantial rate hikes to B.C. Hydro, ICBC and B.C. Ferries, but when it comes to opening their own purse strings for groups like the teachers, they are mighty tight.
William JesseOak Bay
Better fences make better neighbours
The woman who wrote that her seven-foot high fence is unsightly is wrong.
I see nothing unsightly about a high fence. It is her property and she has a right to build any kind of fence she wants. If it is her intention to have privacy from people and deer, so be it.
If anyone doesn’t want the deer in their yards, let them deal with it. I like the deer. It is a wonderful gift to be able to have these beautiful, graceful animals in our area. People should remember that animals are the children who never grow up and it is our duty to take care of them.
That does not mean killing them. It means making allowances for them and letting them enjoy their harmless and peaceful lives.
As for the other woman, who wanted the CRD to act now, she obviously does not understand that not everyone agrees with her. I do not want my tax dollars wasted on this issue.
I would also ask all these people who want the deer killed, to ask themselves honestly would they have the stomach to watch these little creatures die a horrible and unnecessary death.

Garry oaks are not a threatened species
Life must be cushy in Oak Bay if council has time to worry about
ugly trees that are only viable because of human activities.
A recent issue of the environmentally-oriented magazine Focus reminds people that Garry oak trees were fostered here by tribal people burning underbrush to facilitate desirable plants such as camas. In this region tribal people created meadows to increase the length of interface areas more favourable to the animals they harvested for food and skins. (Such as those spelled d-e-e-r).
The palm trees being planted here were developed to grow in cooler climates than where they are native.
As the climate cycles toward cool again, as it was in the 1960s and 1970s, those palms and Garry oaks will be stressed. What will Oak Bay’s do-gooders try then?
Perhaps worse is anti-palm activists using the scam of blaming humans for climate variation.
Their theoretical predictions are failing; sea level not rising much, and middle altitude temperatures changing opposite to their forecasts, for example.
The science of particle physics and empirical engineering practice show a limit to the effect CO2 can have on climate temperature, most of which has already occurred.
Meanwhile research is illuminating feedbacks that keep climate stable, and possible mechanisms by which emissions from the sun vary climate, such as spawning clouds.
Yet activists are becoming more strident and dishonest in trying to blame humans. Why?
By the way, there are many Garry oaks across the Strait of Georgia, where they are called White oaks. Hardly a threatened species.
Keith SketchleySaanich
Raining on the palm tree parade
Oak Bay council did not kill the proposed palm sale (a misguided venture for the local ecosystem if not for tourism as well). Council advised the permit applicants that the municipal hall front garden/Garry oak grove could not be used for the proposed sale event.
Council has made a principled decision to avoid support of this event. Individuals planting exotic species is one thing; wholesale support to change the community’s ecosystem for the sake of tourism is quite another.
Moreover, council made a clear statement to encourage citizens to plant and maintain our unique local Garry oak environment.
Let’s see more leadership like this from council, and more initiatives from local organizations and individuals to restore and enhance our Garry oak environment.

Eye and Vision MythsAdvice, no matter which way you turn, it’s free
for the asking. When it comes to health advice, sometimes it is diffi cult to determine the difference between right and wrong. Here’s a sampling of most common eye and vision myths:
“Don’t wear your glasses so often, you need to exercise your eyes!”
Wearing glasses does not weaken your eyes. The only thing that happens when you don’t wear them is that you don’t see as well. AND wearing glasses doesn’t mean you have “weak” eyes, either.
“You’ll hurt your eyes if you read in the dark!”
Too little light does not damage your sight any-more than too much (do not stare directly into a bright light or the sun, which may cause perma-nent damage).
“Get back from the television! Sitting too close will damage your eyesight!
There is no harm in sitting close to a television. However, if you or your child routinely fi nd it nec-essary to sit close just to see, it’s probably a good idea to make an appointment for an eye exam to ensure your vision is up to snuff.
“I need bifocals! I did too much reading and close work over the years.”
Wrong, you cannot wear your eyes out by us-ing them, and you certainly cannot preserve your vision by limiting your reading or close work. The need for bifocals or reading glasses is a natural part of the aging process.
If you have doubts about any vision and eye ad-vice, be sure to ask your Optometrist.

The work to replace Oak Bay High school with a new facility designed to serve both students and the broader community is officially off and running, after the Ministry of Education and the Greater Vic-toria school district officially signed a project agreement last Thursday (March 8).
Though the province pledged to contribute $50.1 million to the project last November, it wasn’t until now that the funding received the final stamp of approval from
the Treasury Board.In addition to the provincial
cash, the municipality has pledged $1 million toward the project for the current gym to be turned into a theatre for students and outside groups. The school district added $1.4 million to increase the new school’s capacity from 1,200 to 1,300 students.
“This is tremendous news,” Oak Bay principal Dave Thompson told the News. “Finally we can officially get at the actual business of get-ting a building built. The his-tory of this goes back fully 18 years, so it’s been a long time coming.”
The new school will be designed to facilitate person-alized learning for students while providing day care and other community programs at a new on-site Neighbourhood Learning Centre.
It will be designed to meet the latest seismic construc-tion and LEED Gold or equiv-alent environmental stan-dards.
The new Neighbourhood Learning Centre will host seniors’ programs and other activities under the manage-ment of Oak Bay Parks and Recreation.
“It will be an asset to our students and the public as
well, where the whole com-munity can come together under one roof,” Greater Vic-toria board of education chair Peg Orcherton said in a press release about the project. “The partnerships with the District of Oak Bay and Oak Bay Parks and Recreation will bring exciting future opportu-nities.”
With the agreement in place, the district can con-tinue with construction plans. It is expected that SD 61 will request open bids this sum-mer, award the project and start construction by spring 2013.

Oak Bay police are asking for help identifying a man seen taking photographs of children at Willows elementary school last Thursday (March 8).
“Most definitely it is concerning,” said Deputy Chief Kent Thom. “We have no idea what these pictures are being used for.”
Investigators have been able to determine the individual is not the same person who snapped pictures of kids at play at the same school last year, he said.
In that incident, it was determined that no offence had been committed and that the photos were being snapped for a business website.
Last week, parents confronted the camera-wielding man, who did not explain his intentions.
“It didn’t look like this fellow was too alarmed when he was confronted by the parents,” Thom said. “He just smiled and took a picture of the parent that confronted him. We don’t know if it was a defiant move on this man’s part.
Police were not notified of the incident until “after this fellow was long gone,” Thom said, adding that parents were only able to provide a general physical description of the man.
As a result, police have informed school officials and teachers “that we should be called immediately so we can get down there and identify who the person is” if a similar situation happens in the future, Thom said.
Police are looking for a tall male, believed to be in his 20s. He has dark hair and dark skin. Please call Oak Bay police at 250-592-2424 with any tips.

An 81-year-old Victoria man’s vehicle was damaged in a hit and run, near the Oak Bay Municipal Hall parking lot.
The challenge for police lies in investi-gating the complaint that was reported on March 6, seven days after the collision on
Feb. 29 around 11 a.m.“I think he was a little bit shocked, was
not in a position to get the licence plate number (and) just got a very vague descrip-tion of the vehicle,” said Deputy Police Chief Kent Thom. “We’re not even sure at this
point if the other driver would have been aware that they hit this vehicle. It doesn’t appear that the person that hit this other vehicle took off in a hurry.”
The man was encouraged by ICBC to report the incident, during which he claims
his 1994 Mazda 626 suffered $2,000 when it was struck by an older station wagon near Granite Street.
Witnesses are asked to call Oak Bay police at 250-592-2424.
Delayed report hampers hit-and-run investigation
The parents of three teenagers were forced to leave their beds in the middle of the night after being summoned to the Oak Bay Police Department on Saturday.
Police took three 16-year-old males, two from Oak Bay and the third from Victoria, into custody after a resident spotted three youths jumping on the hood of neighbour’s car and kicking off an exterior mirror in the 2300-block of Bowker Ave.
The suspects, two of whom are well known to police, were arrested nearby. Their parents were called to retrieve their kids around 3 a.m.
“We’re still trying to determine how many vehicles were damaged,” said Deputy Chief of Police Kent Thom, adding it was later learned that two more vehicles also had their mirrors kicked off.
Once the extent of the damaged vehicles is known, the case will be referred through the restorative justice program.
Teens spotted jumping on car
Transit Road break-in
Someone entered a garage at a residence in the 500-block of Transit Rd. last Thursday.
Oak Bay investigators believe the incident happened some time overnight. While nothing was taken, several personal belongings were snatched from a vehicle parked nearby in the driveway.

The Victoria Butterfly Gardens is hoping people will eat ladybugs – of the chocolate variety – for a good cause.
For the month of March, half of all proceeds from the sale of chocolate ladybugs will go to Victoria Hospice for end-of-life care.
“Victoria is fortunate to have the care and support of Victoria Hospice and Victoria Butterfly Gardens is lucky to be able to work in partner-ship with them,” said David Roberts, general manager of the Butterfly Gar-dens.
The chocolates are for sale at the Butterfly Gardens, 1461 Benvenuto Ave. For more information, call 250-652-3822.
Hundreds of Nicara-guan school children will benefit from an art show and silent auction later this month.
The Oak Bay Bistro, 2250 Oak Bay Ave., and event designer Macayla Friesen will host the evening March 21.
Proceeds will be donated to the Nicara-gua School Project.
The goal of the proj-ect is to supply 600 chil-dren with school sup-plies twice a year.
“Because we work in an extremely impover-ished part of Nicaragua, our project takes the burden off families and encourages children to continue in their stud-ies,” said Friesen. “Our project is unique since we are 100 per cent vol-unteer – we don’t take a cent for administration and continue the work because it is fulfilling and has made a differ-ence.”
When the project began, the group gave out 400 packages of school supplies. “Now we are averaging 600. This means that more children are attending school. Our donors are loyal; they love that 100 per cent of the money they donate go directly to the source: the chil-dren,” said Friesen.
The evening event will feature pieces from five Vancouver Island artists; a silent auction with items including a stay at the Port Renfrew Lodge, a wine tour in the Okanagan, Adrena-line Zip Line adventure, a stay for two at The Cabins in Ucluelet and more.
The evening will also include music by Lola Parks and Chef John Waller’s elegant culi-nary tastings.
Tickets, $50 each, can be purchased at the Oak Bay Bistro and Spa Magnolia (cash only) in advance. Tick-ets will not be available at the door. For more information call Friesen at 250-213-2291 or email [email protected]@oakbaynews.com

Devorah Stone picks up a paint brush, eyes her colourful painting propped up on an easel and dabs on a splash of colour.
“It’s called The Beat Goes On,” she says proudly, taking a step back to admire her handiwork: a large human heart painted in several shades of red, among other colours.
For the past two years the Victoria resi-dent has been a regular fixture at the Pan-dora Arts Collective Society’s open studio sessions held two afternoons a week in Fernwood.
Each week, between 10 and 20 artists drop by the studio, provided rent-free by the Fernwood Commu-nity Association. There, they use free supplies to create paintings, sculp-tures, sketches and mixed-media works.
The space has served as a lifeline for people, some of whom have
physical disabilities or mental health con-ditions.
But now the society’s future is in jeopardy and it may have to be closed. What little funds the group had have been tapped out.
“We don’t have any sort of steady any-thing. It’s all private donations,” says Stone, volunteer board vice-president. “We have been living grant to grant.”
The non-profit society needs $1,000 to cover its expenses this month, prompting board members to issue an urgent plea for help. The hope is that 12 people will each donate $1,000 a month for the next three years. Already three donors have stepped forward.
Members pay $10 a month or $2 per drop-in session. Many aren’t able to pay but are welcomed at the studio, regardless.
“We don’t want money to be a barrier,” Stone says.
“The reason that Pandora (Arts) is so great is that it’s for peo-ple who can’t afford to take lessons and they can’t afford the materi-als and supplies, and they can come there and paint,” says society board member Stepha-nie Taggart.
The initiative began in 2004 as an art ther-
apy program that was funded by the Van-couver Island Health Authority and located on Pandora Avenue. After its funding was cut, several dedicated people worked to keep it going and eventually set up shop in Fernwood.
The act of creating is therapeutic for many, says Clive Beal, society director.
“We’re keeping people out of emergency services.”
The amateur artists treasure the encour-agement, support and sense of community
they receive at the all-inclusive space.“It’s kind of a healing process for them
to come and paint,” says Taggart, who has been coming to the studio for three years.
Stone, a self-described extrovert, says she felt isolated before attending the open art sessions.
“It’s given me an outlet, my confidence back, friends and a sense of purpose. It’s really been a major part of my life,” she says. “It gives a lot of people a place to go.”
Society struggles to continue offering all-inclusive studio space

From urban parks after midnight, to trailer park fires, car crashes, and rural highways, UVic alumnus Mark Laver explores the narrative power of nocturnal imagery and the allure of oil paint itself.
Shining Examples, a show of Laver’s work at the Legacy Art Gallery, 630 Yates St., features a series of paintings captured at night and painted from the dim interior of his car or under street lights, using any available light source.
A selection of his larger works expands the night time theme by placing
crumpled vehicles and mobile home fires in rural locations.
There is a certain visceral texture to the painting surfaces that undoubtedly finds its roots in (my) hands-on childhood experiences of nature in an area of forest, swamps, beach and gravel roads, said Laver, who grew up on rural Vancouver Island.
This free exhibit runs from March 1 to 31. Hours are Wednesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
For more information, go to www.legacygallery.ca.

LET’S PUT STUDENTS
BCTF CLAIMS AND DEMANDS FACT
The union wants more paid time outside the classroom – sick leave for teachers on call, expanded bereavement and discretionary leave.
The government wants more time for teacher training and to ensure that Pro-D days really are for professional development.
The union says all teaching positions should be selected on the basis of seniority. The government supports seniority but qualifications must also count so that math teachers teach math, and science teachers teach science.
The union says that teachers who perform poorly in evaluations will be dismissed – ‘one strike and you’re out’.
The government wants to support teacher improvement through a standardized evaluation process.
The union says that government refuses to negotiate. There has been over a year of negotiations and 78 full bargaining sessions.
The union says that class size limits have been eliminated. Class size limits will remain in place on all grades across BC.
The union says that BC has 700 fewer special needs teachers. 2100 new teaching assistants have been hired since 2001. And, with a new $165 million Learning Improvement Fund, we will hire more.
The BCTF is demanding a 15 per cent wage hike and other benefits that would cost $2 billion and raise taxes for BC families. Virtually all other public sector unions have settled for no wage increases.
It’s unacceptable that schools are disrupted and that students and their families are inconvenienced over an unreasonable salary demand in difficult economic times. The union is making claims and demands that simply don’t add up.
It’s time to focus on what matters most in education – BC’s students. That’s why we are focused on per-student funding which is at an all time high, not on wage increases.
We all want to do more to make BC’s education system even better. It’s the driving force behind BC’s Education Plan that teachers, parents and students are helping to shape.
Teachers care about their students. Parents care about their children’s future.
FUNDING FOR STUDENTS, NOT FOR WAGE HIKES.
Erin McCrackenNews staff
Military families are bracing for a longer, more expensive com-mute to CFB Esquimalt when the base terminates its popular Blue Boat commuter shuttle service at the end of April.
One Sooke family is devastated by the news, and worries about what it will mean for their already tight budget.
“(My husband) uses the Blue Boat and commuting from Sooke it saves us time and gas,” said the Navy wife, who spoke on condi-tion of anonymity. “Normally leav-ing Sooke to drive to the boat (in Colwood) can take upwards of 45 minutes if the traffic is bad, which means leaving here at roughly 6 a.m.”
Her husband is one of 400 mili-tary and civilian personnel who travel on the Blue Boats between
Colwood and Esquimalt every day, Monday to Friday, and will have to find alternative transpor-tation starting April 30.
That will mean leaving the house earlier each morning as well as shelling out more money on gas.
“It takes approximately a quar-ter of a tank of gas each way, and with the prices the way they are you can understand how upsetting this is, and no one really wants to carpool from out here.”
Navy Capt. Craig Baines, CFB Esquimalt commander, made the decision to cancel the service due to staffing constraints.
There aren’t enough personnel to operate the ferry service as well as the other vessels in the auxiliary fleet, including tugs and fire boats, within the base’s Port Operations and Emergency Services Branch, said CFB Esquimalt spokesperson navy Lt. Michael McWhinnie.
Within the past year, there has
been a 10-per-cent decline in aux-iliary fleet staffing levels due to attrition by retirement.
“It reached a tipping point,” McWhinnie told the News on Fri-day, adding it hasn’t been pos-sible to fill those vacancies, nor are there plans to fill them in the immediate future.
The Blue Boats, manned by six civilians, make 13 daily runs each work week, from 6 a.m. to 5:45 p.m., attracting a total daily rid-ership of about 800 passengers. Each boat can shuttle up to 67 passengers, plus three crew mem-bers, at a time.
Upwards of 9,000 passengers used the service in one month last year.
Though the commuter service is popular, the primary job of the Blue Boats, which have been in service at the base since 1955, has been to move personnel and supplies to various Department of
National Defence job sites around Esquimalt Harbour.
“People increasingly took advantage of that existing service for commuting purposes in recent years,” McWhinnie said.
Randall Garrison, MP for Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca, plans to meet with base officials to deter-mine whether the ferry service can be extended during the closure of the Craigflower Bridge. The bridge will be closed in June, to make way for its eventual replacement.
Langford Mayor Stew Young mourned the loss of the service, which he said benefitted the region, not just those who use the boats.
“Add 400 people … in the morn-ing on that highway that’s already full and it’s going to affect every-body else who is already in that queue,” he said. “It’s another rea-son why we need that E&N (rail-way), because it goes right by the
front door (at CFB Esquimalt).”An estimated 46 per cent of CFB
Esquimalt personnel are affected by the ‘crawl,’ according to base data. More than 480 housing units are located at Belmont Park in Col-wood, making it the largest mili-tary housing community on the South Island.
The cancellation of the shut-tle prompted Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins to begin asking municipal, defence and Victoria Shipyards stakeholders to form a working group to discuss trans-portation challenges, identify solutions, including the E&N rail service, and ask higher levels of government for support.
“You can’t make a decision in Ottawa and not have an under-standing of all the layers of the problem here,” she said. “I don’t know if we’ve been clear on our message.”

Cougars power through Islanders meltdown to reach VIJHL finalsTravis PatersonNews staff
The Victoria Cougars’ power play blasted the Kerry Park Islanders for 11 goals in a 12-1 win in Game 5 at the Archie Browning Sports Centre on Sunday.
The series-clinching victory sees the Cou-gars waiting to see who they’ll play in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League championship final. At press time, the Saan-ich Braves led the Peninsula Panthers 2-1 in their semifinal series.
“Eleven power play goals (on 19 man advantages) was one of the more bizarre games I’ve ever been a part of in this league, and I’ve seen some bizarre things,” said Cougars coach Mark Van Helvoirt, who started as an assistant under Craig Didmon with the Cougars in 2004-05.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen 19 power plays.”
Sunday’s blowout was the second game in less than 24 hours for the Cougars and Islanders. Victoria won 5-4 in overtime at Kerry Park on Saturday.
The Cougars are gunning for their sec-ond championship under Van Helvoirt, who won it in 2008 in his first season as head coach after taking over from Didmon. It’s the seventh time in the past eight seasons the Cougars will battle for the Brent Pat-terson Memorial Trophy as league playoff champs.
“(We have) a strong team this year, but it’s a bit of a different feel in the room (from last year),” Van Helvoirt said.
Though few will talk about it, everything about this year has been to avenge the Cou-gars’ devastating collapse in the 2011 final, when they blew a 3-0 series lead and lost to the Panthers.
Peninsula scored just once in the first three games of that series, then broke out offensively and won four straight. They went on to win the Cyclone Taylor Cup as provincial champions.
Whether it’s the Panthers or Braves, either opponent brings with them a rich story line against the Cougars in the final.
The Panthers bring a carryover from last year’s final, while the crosstown Braves haven’t won the championship since 1996 and have never faced the Cougars in the finals.
Cougars power upThe Cougars power play dominance on
Sunday started with goals from Mark Wal-ton, Colin Minardi, Connor Stephens and Nathan Chen-Mack, in the first period. And when the Islanders penalties continued in the second, Walton, Stephens and Chen-Mack scored again.
Sam Rice’s goal in the second period was the only even-strength goal of all 13. It was a tough feat in a game that saw 209 penalty minutes – 36 to the Cougars and 173 to the Islanders. The Islanders’ goal came from Cole Schneider, short-handed in the third.
Trevor Chown, Kurtis Kunz, Josh Wyatt and Jake Nixon scored for the Cougars in the third period, all on the power play.
The Islanders’ meltdown featured five game misconducts and seven 10-minute misconducts.
Game 4 goes Wyatt’s wayDespite outshooting the Islanders 31-16
in the first two periods of Game 4 on Sat-urday, the Cougars trailed 4-2. That’s when Josh Wyatt stepped up with two goals in the third period and an assist on the overtime winner by Brody Coulter.
“It was one of those nights where we’d get a few chances then (Kerry Park) would score on the counter-attack,” Van Helvoirt said
SPORTSCougars torch Islanders in clincher
Victoria athlete named female athlete of the yearTravis PatersonNews staff
Victoria’s wheelchair basketball team is the best in the province. Now they just need a name.
The team is led by Jon Vliegen-thart, who runs Greater Victoria’s wheelchair basketball program out of the Pacific Institute for Sports Excellence with his wife Jessica. Since relocating to PISE this fall, the basketball division of the Vic-toria Wheelchair Sports club has really taken off, Jon said.
Last week Jon led a group of eight players to the Div. 2 champi-onship at the B.C. Wheelchair Bas-ketball League’s provincial tourna-ment, held at Douglas College’s Coquitlam campus.
Victoria’s “tournament team” is put together from eight of the players 14 to 24 players who show up to play basketball at PISE each Sunday night, with Jon, Jean-Luc Lagan, Tony Golston, Mike Seinan, Kathleen Mickey, Lauren Pearson, Shira Golden and Roberto Molina.
Jon was named MVP of Div. 2 and Molina to the Div. 2 all-star team.
“The team over the past few years has had a chance to develop,” Jon said. “This time around we had a chance to bring some rookies to B.C.’s, and played our entire bench for every game.”
Using every player makes an impact by conserving energy, said Jon, but it also gives a lasting impact to the players who want to feel like they’re contributing.
Every Sunday night as many as 24 players come out to PISE to shoot hoops in a recreational atmosphere. “Having 14 people
out allows for a five-on-five scrim-mage (with subs),” Jon said.
What they get is a hands on, trial-by-fire experience with coach-ing on the go from Jon and Jessica, the latter a member of Canada’s women’s team.
Jessica Vliegenthart also picked up a major piece of hardware from the tournament, despite being absent, and for good rea-son. Jessica and half of the Cana-dian women’s team are training in
Tuscaloosa, maximizing on the high-performance experience in place with the University of Ala-bama’s successful men’s and women’s wheelchair basketball programs.
When Jessica received a text from husband Jon on Saturday night, during the B.C. Wheelchair Basketball’s annual awards to tell her she was the female athlete of the year.
“I had no idea. It’s great to be
recognized by the provincial orga-nization,” Jessica said.
“I got the text while I was sitting in the apartment in Alabama in my pajamas. I would’ve liked to have been home for that.”
Jessica will join Team Canada later this spring in preparation for the 2012 Olympics in London.
When she returns, she’ll become the Victoria club’s resident Olym-pian. Full story at Vicnews.com.

Vikes men’s basketball coach honoured
Vikes men’s basketball coach Craig Beaucamp was named the 2011-12 Canada West coach of the year for the third time in his career.
The Canada West men’s basketball awards were announced on the weekend.
MacKinnon was also hon-oured as a first team all-star, the only Vike on the all-star team.
Beaucamp previously won the Canada West coach of the year award in 2003-04 and 2004-05. This year Beaucamp led the Vikes to a first-place finish in the Pacific Division, and helped them maintain a
top-10 national rank all season.The UVic Vikes men’s bas-
ketball team finished fourth at the recent Canada West final-four tournament. It was the last game as Vikes for guards Ryan MacKinnon (Comox) and Zac Andrus (Wash), and forward Michael Berg (Burnaby).
MacKinnon was the only Vikes men’s basketball player recognized nationally, a sec-ond-team CIS All-Canadian. The last Vike to earn All-Ca-nadian recognition was Chris Trumpy in 2005-06.
MacKinnon, an education student, led the Vikes in scor-ing in 16 of 21 regular-season and playoff games this year.
Claremont junior boys second in B.C. hoops
Luke Collombin was twice named player of the game and made the first all-star team as the Claremont Spartans were finalists in the B.C. Junior Boys
basketball championship at Vancouver College on Satur-day.
The Spartans lost to host Vancouver College in the final, 48-39.
“The game was tied 30-30 going into the fourth quarter,” said coach Lucky Walia in an email. “Vancouver College made a run at the start of the quarter to establish a bit of a cushion, which they hung on to for the win.”
The Spartans’ biggest win of the tourney was in their semi-final defeat of St. George’s, 37-55.
“(We) were down 28 to 22 entering the final quarter, and outscored St. George’s 15 to 7 to complete the comeback,” Walia said.
“Collombin (12 points) and Alex Jordache (10 points) both hit big three’s in the fourth quarter.”
