A recent visit from several Oak Bay residents left Mayor Nils Jensen speechless.

“I was so blown away. I was overwhelmed,” said Jensen, who was elected to the mayor’s chair last November.

Jensen has been hosting

mayor’s office hours at the municipal hall every Saturday morning for a while now. It’s something new he’s implemented to help keep his finger on the pulse of the commmunity.

One of his appointment’s earlier this month was with Oak Bay resident Lynn Henderson. When she arrived, she had “a crew” with her, he said, so he ushered them into a small meeting room adjacent to council chambers.

“When I went in they just started showering me with little

gifts and thank yous,” he said. “They gave me the key to the neighbourhood, home-made cookies and jam, flowers, a big golden scarf. They said they were grateful I’d taken on the job. … One after another they stood up and said something positive and nice.”

“Five families decided to get together and celebrate Nils Jensen and his commitment

(to the community),” said Henderson, a long time Oak Bay resident. “We decided to make

an appointment and give him little gifts and try to do something to welcome him to his position in the community.”

“It’s something I’ll think about on those days

when there’s five-hour public hearings and people are grouchy,” said Jensen.

The visit started out as a bit

of light-hearted fun among a group of friends.

“The hard part (of being elected to a new position) is getting to know the community,” said Doug Henderson, Lynn’s husband. “In that process, Nils is having appointments on Saturday morning and as a bit of a joke, we thought a few of us should go down there and complain about cats running free or some obscure issue.

The Monterey Note-Ables present Music, Music, Music for three shows March 31 and April 1.

There are about 20 performers in the show who range in age from their 50s to 80s. “Sometimes we have peo-ple in their 90s, but not this time,” said Note-Able member Sharon Belton.

The Note-Ables rehearse October through March at The Monterey Cen-tre in Oak Bay. The group puts on a show each year to entertain other

members and the public. “Some of the people who are very good do the solos and others sing in the chorus,” said Belton. They all have a lot of energy and take a lot of joy from per-forming, she added.

Proceeds from the Note-Ables production of Music, Music, Music will go back to the cen-tre to help keep it run-ning smoothly and pro-viding opportunities for Oak Bay seniors.

Members have fun while learning the different aspects of staging a pro-duction, said Belton. “It’s not profes-sional (level). Of course people enjoy the mistakes and the fumbles, but

they have so much fun singing and dancing, they put on quite a good show,” she said.

Music, Music, Music is the 16th pro-duction put on by the Monterey Note-

Ables.Tickets, $10, may

be purchased at the Monterey Note-Ables Box Office in the lounge of the centre, 1442 Monterey Ave., from Monday to Friday, March 19 to 30 from 11

a.m. to 1 p.m. Music, Music, Music is on Saturday,

March 31 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., and on Sunday, April 1 at 2 p.m.

Seniors share their love of song

Sharing your experience and expertise on how best to manage the deer population in the Capital Region is as easy as applying to join a new volunteer citizens advisory group.

The Capital Regional District needs 11 members of the public to develop a regional deer management strategy and action plan to address conflicts between humans and coast black-tailed deer and Columbian black-tailed deer in the region.

Based on feedback the CRD has received from residents, most of the conflicts are happening in Oak Bay, Victoria and Saanich.

“We’re not agricultural but we have a very large deer population here now and growing quickly in Oak Bay,” said Oak Bay Coun. Kevin Murdoch, who sits on the district’s new environmental advisory committee.

The CRD published data in 2011 that revealed an estimated 85,000 black-tailed deer reside on the Island, including 25,000 to 45,000 which live in urban areas, Murdoch noted.

“I think there’s definitely a problem,” he said, noting that he regularly sees large families of deer frequent his neighbourhood.

The CRD board directed staff last November to flesh out the terms of reference for the creation of a deer management plan.

The deer team will be tasked with exploring possible short- and long-term strategies, such as fertility controls, that can manage ungulate population levels.

The hope is these strategies can address loss of commercial crops and public health and safety issues, such as collisions between vehicles and deer.

Deer aggression, disease transmission and encroachment on residential properties and the resulting vegetation loss will also be examined.

“It’s important to get feedback from a broad spectrum,” Murdoch said. “One of the advantages of using a community group model like that is you get a wide range of opinions that allows you to capture the concerns and issues ... and have the information to make a good decision.”

A supporting team of experts is also being assembled to provide the advisory group with technical and scientific insight.

The group will likely work from April until July. Their final recommendations will be submitted to the CRD’s Planning, Transportation and Protective Services committee before the report goes before the CRD board for consideration.

Volunteers will include an appointed chairperson, five representatives from Oak Bay, Victoria, Esquimalt and Saanich, four from the Peninsula and two West Shore residents. Three will be commercial farmers.

To apply or learn more, go online to www.crd.bc.ca/deermanagement or email [email protected].

“Then we thought we’d do the opposite. Give him a welcome and thank him for being our leader – it kind of spiralled out of control and we ended up giving him the key to the neighbourhood. We gave him a regal shroud, or he could use it as a cloak of invisibility depending on the issue … it kind of took on a life of its own,” he said.

“It was their idea of paying it

forward … it was heart-warming. I was speechless – that’s not something I’m used to,” the former Crown prosecutor said.

“He has a big job ahead and it was nice to do something to brighten his day,” said Doug. “I know what (politicians) get on a regular basis and it’s not always positive and uplifting.”

“I was tingling the rest of the day,” Jensen said of the act of kindness.

Wearing a Scottish kilt, Oak Bay resident John Bernard was the picture of calm as he sat clutching a portfo-lio of ideas he hoped would impress produc-ers from CBC’s Dragons’ Den TV show Saturday morning.

“I’m a little bit ner-vous,” he said, sur-rounded by dozens of entrepreneurs and inventors waiting to audition at the Inn at Laurel Point in Victoria.

They will learn within the next week and a half whether they’ll be invited to pitch their ideas to the dragons in front of the cameras in Toronto, beginning April 12.

The competition is fierce.

Between 3,500 and 4,500 people audition for the show every year. Of those 250 are invited for filming, though only half will appear on the show.

A small number of presenters will come away with a deal with one or more of the wealthy investors, who currently include Kevin O’Leary, Jim Treliving, Arlene Dickinson, Rob-ert Herjavec and Bruce Croxon.

Bernard hopes to be one of the few who get on the show. He planned to pitch a package of 61 concepts and innovations, from reversing oars to an air-powered car motor,

that he hoped to sell to the dragons for $5.

“I’m virtually giving (these ideas) to them,” said Bernard, who con-siders himself the idea man; and the dragons as the means to turn his ideas into reality.

“The first thing Kevin (O’Leary) would say is, ‘How do I make money?’” Bernard said. “Well, Kevin, you’re the expert.”

Just when produc-ers think they’ve seen every type of pitch imaginable, still more creative ideas come through their door.

Season six contes-tants, who are now appearing on the show on Wednesday nights, stepped up their game.

“There’s every kind of spectacle,” executive producer Tracie Tigh said, from an opera singer to fire eaters to medieval jousting. “Canada is rife with entrepreneurial talent.”

This audition tour is also turning up some incredible talent, said associate producer Amy Bourne. Their stop in Victoria proved no different.

There were painters,

musicians and inven-tors of several unique products, including a supply bag designed with pizza delivery people in mind. Oak Bay resident Graeme Kilshaw hoped his invention of a unique international language would pique produc-ers’ interest.

“I think going into season seven people sort of know what to expect a little bit more,” Bourne said. “So you see the pitchers come in with really high-cali-bre pitches.”[email protected]

Unpaid cab fare reveals credit card fraud

There’s no such things as a free ride for credit card fraudsters.

A taxi driver called police requesting assistance just before 4 a.m. last Wednesday (March 14) when a woman appeared unable to pay her cab fare. When the 30-year-old’s credit card was declined, she offered to manually enter the card number. Police say the woman and her accomplices had been using an expired credit card and keying in a stolen card number that didn’t match the one on the card. The driver didn’t allow the woman to use the stolen number and the matter remains under investigation.

St. Patty’s Day shenanigans occupy Oak Bay officers

Celebrations in honour of St. Patrick kept police busy over the weekend with loud house parties and public intoxication the norm.

Calls to police began in the early morning hours of March 17, when a driver was stopped on Cad-boro Bay Road at about 1 a.m. for being under the influence of marijuana. The 60-year-old’s car was towed.

Just before 2 p.m., officers responded to a loud house party in the 2700-block of Cadboro Bay Rd. Partygoers were let off with a warning. Two hours later, police were called to the 2000-block of Ren-frew Rd. where attendees of another house party had spilled onto neighbouring yards. Several tickets were issued under the Liquor Control and Licensing Act. A third loud house party in the 3400-block of Henderson Rd. was shut down shortly after 6 p.m.

Tickets were also issued to youth openly drink-ing liquor en route to a St. Patrick’s Day event at the University of Victoria.

At 10:30 p.m. a transit driver contacted police after his bus was “attacked” by a group of young males demanding to be let on board. The driver was concerned he may have struck one of the youths who had attempted to ride on the outside of the bus. Police were unable to locate the youths and the driver was left distressed.

The shenanigans ended in a 90-day driving suspension issued to a 22-year-old woman found speeding while impaired in the 2800-block of Foul Bay Rd.


If you are looking to sing the praises of a young person who either lives in Oak Bay or attends school there, take that to the next step and nominate them for an award.

The District of Oak Bay is accepting nominations for the sixth annual Young Exceptional Star awards, which not only celebrate youth making a difference in

their community but also those who have overcome obstacles.

To be eligible, youth must be in Grade 6 to 10 in public, private or home schools, or live in Oak Bay.

They must demonstrate excellence in arts, volunteerism, academics, athletics, community service and citizenship or have overcome challenges in their lives.

“It’s a way for us to connect with all the different schools and recognize youth that do so much in the community,” said Coun. Michelle Kirby, chair of the Oak Bay Child and Youth Committee. “We have some incredible volunteers that haven’t even graduated high school.

“They’re setting a wonderful example

for the rest of us.”The nomination deadline is March 31.

The awards ceremony happens on May 2

at the Oak Bay Recreation Centre’s Sports View Deli Bar and Grill.

Changes are in store for this year’s cer-emony. A banquet dinner will be replaced with a format that encourages more inter-action among community and business leaders and talented youth.

“We’re just going to give people the ability to mingle and meet more of the kids,” Kirby said.

Nomination forms are available at www.oakbaybc.org.

Businesses interested in sponsor-ing an award can email Coun. Michelle Kirby at [email protected] by March 31.

Police had a hand in returning some debris of note last week.

Wednesday afternoon (March 14), a man called police to the beach near the 1700-block of Beach Dr. after he found a mili-tary canister. Instructions on the canister directed the finder to contact police or the military if it was found.

Personnel from CFB Esquimalt were called to the scene and

retrieved what turned out to be one of the Navy’s marine loca-tion markers, a buoyant smoke and flame-producing device that is used by ships and aircraft as a positional marker on the water surface.

According to the Navy, the markers are designed to sink to the ocean floor after they have been expended. A small number do not completely burn off and

remain afloat, however, posing a potential hazard to the public.

“The gentleman in this instance did exactly the right thing by calling police,” said Oak Bay Sgt. Rob Smith.

MLMs should only be handled by military or police members who have received training on the disposal of unexploded ord-nance.

Random act of thanks

Only in Oak Bay.That’s been the reaction to the random act of

kindness performed by a group of Oak Bay residents recently.

Mayor Nils Jensen was shocked by the personal welcome wagon that greeted him during his regular Saturday morning office hours. Instead of the usual resident wishing to discuss issues, he was surprised

by a group bearing gifts and praise. Jensen was so overwhelmed that he saved many of the treats and relived the event with council and members of the public at the following

Monday’s council meeting. As he pulled cookies and jam from his pockets he described the wonderful feeling the visit left with him.

Jensen himself has taken on the job of welcoming newcomers to the community, following in the steps of former mayor Christopher Causten, so he knows what it’s like to make others feel welcome.

Oak Bay has proven in many ways that it’s a friendly place and the personal welcome from the mayor is a unique tradition that will probably live on into the future.

But residents taking the time out of their day to welcome the mayor? That’s got to be a first.

While it started out as a bit of a joke among a group of friends, the idea turned into something that we should all attempt to emulate to a degree.

People can be quick to grab a comment card to complain when the cashier at the grocery store has been less than friendly. We gripe to our friends about the high prices at the pump, while neglecting to thank the person who fills our tank. We curse the driver who cuts us off, but don’t give a friendly wave of thanks to the one who allows us to merge easily.

What a shame it is that we are far more likely to complain than to compliment.

Sitting in the mayor’s chair, on council, the school board, or other elected position is not always an easy task; and at the municipal level, it can be largely thankless.

So while you may not agree with the mayor’s politics, or every decision that he makes, before you flash him the figurative finger or curse a council decision, take the time to think twice about the fact that our elected officials are our neighbours, too – and don’t forget to say thanks once in a while.

We should all try to be more grateful

The noise of the teachers’ strike drowned out debate on the B.C. budget so thoroughly that one of Finance Minister Kevin Falcon’s more controversial ideas only made the news last week.

Reporters dubbed it “Welfare Air.” Falcon plans a pilot program to offer social assistance recipients training and airfare if they can line up a job in B.C.’s northern energy boomtowns. Workers are being imported to fill jobs there, while in Metro Vancouver and elsewhere the number of single employable people applying for social assistance is rising.

Much of oil and gas work is dirty and dangerous. These days most industrial jobs involve sophisticated electronics, and the technical skill level required is high. But there are entry-level jobs going begging, and relatively high pay is offered to fill positions in a short-staffed service sector in the Peace region.

NDP MLA Carole James, no stranger to northern B.C., dismissed Falcon’s plan as a stunt. There are unemployed people in the region who should be offered training before we start flying people up from Vancouver, James said.

Yet I repeatedly hear from northern employers that the labour shortage is real and growing.

The NDP warns that B.C. faces

a future of “people without jobs, and jobs without people.” Mostly they blame the B.C. Liberals for

removing apprenticeship programs from union control.

I spoke with James about post-secondary needs a couple of weeks ago. She mentioned NDP leader Adrian Dix’s signature policy to restore B.C. student grants, funded by a capital tax on financial institutions. She also agreed that part of the problem is young people taking post-

secondary education that leads to fields with poor job prospects.

I suggested that if B.C. taxpayers are to increase their subsidy to post-secondary students, already worth about two thirds of their schooling costs, perhaps grants could be targeted to areas of pressing economic need.

To my surprise, James agreed that is worth considering. This is significant, not only because it is likely to be unpopular in the education establishment. There is a good chance that James, a former school trustee, will be B.C.’s education minister in 14 months.

After writing about the labour shortage last week, I was bombarded with messages from an irate Vancouver high school teacher who mocked the whole notion as corporate propaganda. No labour shortage exists, globally or in B.C., he claimed. Rather, “capitalists”

of the “one per cent” have tried to “vocationalize” public education for a century, but the “people” have always “resisted.”

Radical socialists aside, why would matching student aid to employment demand be unpopular with teachers?

Education Minister George Abbott offered a clue during the lengthy debate over ending the teachers’ strike. Abbott noted that for every three teachers coming out of B.C. universities, there is currently only one job available.

Certainly student debt is an issue worth discussing. And most would agree it’s easier to pay off loans if one can find a job in one’s field upon graduation. Should further subsidies go to soon-to-be-unemployed teachers? No.

Our education system trains too many people for what they want to do, rather than what the economy needs. And our economy definitely does not need more kids taught Marxist claptrap.

Further to that, a tax on banks will be popular with some of today’s students, who protested against capitalism in the “occupy” camps that will resume as the weather improves.

Others will examine the idea and conclude that financial institutions will recover the tax from customers, and perhaps find ways to get the job done with fewer employees.

Hello spring!Mount Baker looming large off Willows Beach on a clear sunny day is a welcome sign that spring is finally upon us and winter will soon be a distant memory.

Tan-free grad challenge should go beyond high school halls

This month, schools across B.C. are kicking off the second annual Canadian Cancer Society tan-free grad challenge. As a tan-free grad leader at Oak Bay High it is my job to educate my classmates about the health risks of tanning, as well as to encourage everyone to love their skin tone.

The fact is no tan is a safe tan. Research shows that any use of indoor tanning equipment before the age of 35 can increase a person’s risk of melanoma (the deadliest form of skin cancer) by 75 per cent. Melanoma is the third most common cancer in women between the ages of 15 and 29. These statistics are scary – why are people still tanning?

I think there are many reasons for this. For one, there are a lot of tanning myths that can lead young people to make poor decisions. For instance, many people believe that indoor tanning is safe or that we need a tan to get vitamin D. Research has proven otherwise, but people still believe tanning is okay.

In addition, today’s youth still feel a lot of peer pressure to look a certain way. It

is easy for teens to get so caught up with their image that they ignore the health dangers, or are unaware of them.

I think the B.C. government has a role to play in protecting us by banning indoor tanning for youth under 18. It concerns me that the government is currently considering parental consent over a ban.

I encourage everyone to write to B.C.’s Health Minister Mike de Jong by going to www.cancergameplan.ca and asking the government to follow the lead of Southern Vancouver Island and Nova Scotia by enacting legislation as soon as possible.

Apparent lack of planning derails use of park

For the past three months, only a few moms and dads have occasionally braved the elements to play with their kids on the grass at Willows Park on Beach Drive, so for the most part the area has been virtually deserted.

I see, however, that now we are about to welcome better weather and the grass is beginning to flourish and grow, ready for more energetic spring and summer games

on a larger scale, that some jobsworth somewhere has decided to spoil it all for everyone by authorizing digging of more drainage trenches across virtually the whole area.

Who in their right mind, and with any community spirit, let alone common sense, would choose to spoil this lovely park and frustrate the energetic and healthy enjoyment of young folk just as they are getting ready to revive their spring and summer games?

This sort of planning beggars belief and if the excavations and installations continue for much longer, the grass will have little time to recover and there will be no space for the young and energetic, nor us more elderly types taking our afternoon stroll.

Come on – get your act together.Derrick Johns

Let’s try another solutionfor urban deer problem

Re: The other side of the deer problem (News, Feb. 29)

I like Bambies, too. But I am not blind to

the problem of home gardens, flower beds and especially crops being depleted by deer.

In the early ‘90s, a deer problem threatened fruit crops in the Okanagan. A solution was found which did not include displacing or killing the deer.

The solution was to hang small pouches of synthetic wolf urine here and there around the orchard. It worked very well and the problem, along with the deer, went away.

This time next year, Oak Bay council will have more informa-tion at its disposal as it consid-ers funding requests from non-profits and neighbourhood associations.

At council’s request, Oak Bay municipal treasurer Patri-cia Walker is planning to spend the summer drafting the dis-trict’s inaugural grants policy.

The goal is to have a formal policy in place in time for the 2013 grant appli-cation process, said Coun. John Herbert, who, as finance com-mittee chair, will

provide some input during the grant policy development pro-cess.

Currently, council consid-ers applications and then has the option of rejecting or for-warding the funding request to the municipality’s estimates committee. The hope is that the new policy would require applicants to provide addi-tional details to council.

In the past applicants have been required to provide pre-vious years’ financial state-ments, a bud-get and a list of other fund-ing sources, for example, Walker said.

“I think (a pol-icy is) a good

thing because you get into the process and it’s difficult because there are some organizat ions which you really understand their involvement with Oak Bay and some others that you’re not so sure of,” Herbert said. “It allows us to make a more com-mon sense decision, I think.”

The district will look to the grant policies already in place in other municipalities.

“We’re probably not going to reinvent the wheel,” Herbert said.

In the meantime, the first step in improving Oak Bay’s process was developing a grants application form earlier

this year. There is space

on the document to explain the work done by the organi-zation, who leads it, details about past funding requests made to the dis-trict, what that money was used for, what the new grant would sup-

port and how Oak Bay would benefit, among other requests for budget information.

Some, though not all, appli-cants filled out the four-page form before the Feb. 28 grant application deadline, said Her-bert. Other applicants filed their own paperwork.

“I think it produced a bit of improvement,” he said.

Oak Bay to craft new grant policy

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.

Relive the magic of Grease, but this time on ice.

With a cast of 60 ice skaters rec-reating this classic musical, audi-ences are bound to be rocking out in their seats.

The cast consists of skaters as young as two years old up to 30. The group has been practising and rehearsing the show for the past six weeks.

“It’s full of phenomenal skating and lots of tricks,” said Deena Bea-com, the show’s director. “People will be impressed by the quality skating of all these young ath-letes.”

Elise Von Howlede, 17, is play-ing the lead female role of Sandy. “It’s interesting. I get to play good Sandy and see see how she changes throughout the show. It’s neat to play a Hollywood charac-ter,” Von Howlede said.

Von Howlede has been gliding on blades since age three and has competed in two national level competitions and in the Canada Games.

“My ultimate goal is to compete

in the Olympics, I’ll see where my talent can get me,” she said.

Several of the skaters in the

show have skated at the profes-sional level, touring with groups including Disney on Ice and Holi-

day on Ice. The skaters have trav-elled the world, sharing their tal-ents.

Some of the skaters in the show are in between tours and others have returned to the Racquet Club of Victoria Figure Skating Club to coach and inspire young skaters.

Overhead lifts, pair spins and double flips will match in time with classic Grease numbers, such as Summer Nights and You’re the One I Want.

“It’s going to be very intricate, with lights and costumes. It’s is going to be Broadway on ice,” Von Howlede said, adding her favou-rite number in the show is Born to Hand Jive.

“There are a lot of big lifts and spins. We are doing a lot of group numbers and we will be doing a lot of splicing, and in that timing is huge.”

“If you put in the CD, you just want to dance,” said Beacom, for-merly a professional skater for Ice Capades. “We are telling the story through song.”

While some of the perform-ers will be lip-syncing the iconic tunes, many will just be focusing on skating and body language to

tell the story.“People should come because

it’s a really good family show,” Beacom said. “From one act to the next it’s really exciting.”

The club hosts a musical show every two years and Beacom has been directing the shows since they began 10 years ago. So far the most successful show in the club’s history was The Sound of Music, the first show the club ever performed.

“We had long lines of people, there was standing-room only and we had to turn people away,” Beacom said. With the music of Grease, she hopes to recreate that success.

Grease on Ice shows are March 24 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. and March 25 at 1 p.m. at the Archie Brown-ing Sports Centre, 1151 Esquimalt Rd. Shows run 1.5 hours.

Tickets are $15 and are avail-able through the McPherson Box Office (250-386-6121), Archie Browning Sports Centre (250-412-8510) or Esquimalt Recreation Centre (250-412-8500).

Under the seaCommunity Arts Council of Greater Victoria presents Joyce Kline’s ‘Seachange’ at the Gallery at the Cedar Hill Recreation Centre, 3220 Cedar Hill Rd. The show runs March 29 to April 1. Seachange transforms the gallery into a drowned, post-global-warming living room now overgrown by a coral reef of creatures created from recycled clothing and household junk.

For the first time since 2008, Vic-toria painting pals and life part-ners, Jeffrey J. Boron and Linny D. Vine, will exhibit their work together.

The Art Gallery of Greater Vic-toria, 1040 Moss St., presents the exhibition by Boron and Vine from March 29 to April 15. There will be an artist reception in the Massey Gallery on Saturday, March 31 from 2 to 4 p.m.

As well as studio paintings, this show includes some smaller en plein air pieces from Boron and Vine’s painting adventures in south western B.C. and beyond.

The beauty of the area’s natural, rural and urban settings is reflected in the luxuriant colours and rhyth-mic patterns of their paintings.

It’s an opportunity for the viewer to experience the individual styles of both artists: Boron with his light-filled Canadian west coast impres-sionism and Vine with her joy-filled surreal-ism she calls Linny-ism.

[email protected]

Buds and Blossoms by Linny D. Vine, above, and Morning Calm by artist Jeffrey J. Boron will be on display at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria.

Imbued with mirth and silliness, the Victoria Gilbert and Sullivan Society present H.M.S. Pin-afore, where humour focuses on love between members of different social classes and lam-poons the British class system in general.

In love with a low-class sailor, Ralph Rack-straw, H.M.S. Pinafore captain’s daughter, Jose-phine, bides by her father’s wishes to marry Sir Joseph Porter, the First Lord of the Admiralty.

But soon, Josephine and Ralph defy conven-tional social order, declare their love for each other and plan to elope. The captain discovers this plan but, as in many Gilbert and Sullivan operas, a surprise disclosure changes things dramatically.

The Victoria Gilbert and Sullivan Society is a recreational musical theatre group that stages Gilbert and Sullivan operettas to a professional standard. The fun-filled H.M.S. Pinafore includes the talent of the Victoria Civic Orchestra.

Tickets, $27/$25 seniors/students are avail-able at the Mary Winspear Centre box office in Sidney for the March 24 and 25 2 p.m. shows there, and at Ivy’s Book Store, 2188 Oak Bay Ave., Long & McQuade and Munro’s Books for the shows on March 31 and April 1 at 2 p.m. at Oak Bay High school, 2101 Cadboro Bay Rd.

Drivers more than 80 years old who fail a com-puterized test of their mental ability will now be offered a road test before they have to surrender their licences.

Attorney General Shirley Bond announced the road test option Mon-day after complaints from people who lost their driving privileges based on a computer test called DriveABLE.

Some elderly people with little computer experience found the touch-screen tests of cognitive ability to be unfamiliar and an unfair way to test them.

The DriveABLE test is administered on refer-ral from doctors who detect cognitive impairment in patients that may affect their driving. Bond said those who failed the on-screen test in the past six months will be offered a free road test, using a test car with dual brakes.

Those who failed more than six months ago have to see their doctor before being reassessed.

Bond also announced that a new DriveABLE assessment centre will be opened in Cranbrook, making 18 locations in B.C. A new mobile service is also in the works, so people in rural areas don't have to travel as far to be tested.

The DriveABLE test uses a terminal with a touch screen to measure mental abilities.

In the first stage, the driver holds down a but-ton until a shape appears on either the left or right side of the screen. The subject has to release the button and touch the shape as quickly as possible, to test reaction time and accuracy of movement.

Another stage tests ability to notice changes at the edge of the field of vision, simulating pedestri-ans and traffic signs. The test subject must make a decision about a word in the centre of the screen, and also report the location of a target that appears at the same time in a different area of the screen.

See and be seenfor cycling safety

Although cycling is great fun, it also involves some danger. In North America nearly 800 cy-clists die in collisions with motor vehicles each year, and another 24,000 suffer injuries. You can reduce these dangers by following some simple cycling safety tips.

Wear a helmet and wear it properly, not perched on the back of your head. During the day, wear fl uorescent clothing and, at night, a functional headlight and refl ective stripes on your clothing, helmet and bike will help ensure you are visible from all sides. Flashing red lights which can be at-tached to your bicycle saddle, backpack or helmet are an excellent and inexpensive way of increasing visibility.

Wear sunglasses with UV protection to shield your eyes from the sun’s damaging rays. Remem-ber to replace them at night, with impact-resistant clear sports goggles to protect the eyes from dust, dirt, gravel, and rocks. Contact lenses under pro-tective wrap-around glasses are convenient for those who can wear them. They provide superior peripheral vision. For those who cannot wear con-tact lenses, Optometrists can provide prescrip-tion sunglasses or prescription inserts for cycling goggles. One of your best defenses against bike accidents is sharp vision – so have your eyes ex-amined regularly.

Remember that your bicycle is a vehicle and that you should operate it in a responsible and courte-ous manner.

playoffs in thrilling win over Portland

Travis PatersonNews staff

Western Hockey League playoffs are returning to Victoria for the first- time since 1989.

The Victoria Royals open their first round series against the Blazers in Kamloops on Friday (March 23).

The Royals clinched the post-sea-son berth in the final regular season game on March 16, winning 3-1 over the Portland Winterhawks at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre.

With the win, the Royals ended the 72-game season with 55 points – good enough for seventh-place after a three-way battle for the final two spots. The Royals got a little help to hang on to seventh, with both the Everett Silvertips and Seattle Thun-derbirds losing key games on the weekend.

“It was do or die for us (in Friday’s win), even though we got help from other teams, that we were able to control our own destiny,” Royals for-ward Mike Forsyth said.

“It’s a great feeling. A lot of pres-sure’s been on us the last two weeks. Coming into these last few games, we didn’t know how we were going to respond.”

The third line was the definition of clutch on Friday, with Forsyth scor-ing just his third goal of the season and earning his 12th assist on the first goal of the game by linemate Dakota Conroy.

Forsyth broke the game’s 1-1 tie in the third period on an odd play that ended up being the game-win-ner. After colliding with referee Tyler Adair along the boards, Forsyth got back up and skated unchecked to the slot where Conroy fed him a pass.

Forsyth wristed it past goalie Mac Carruth to score what is now the big-gest goal of his career.

“I’ll do anything it takes to get it in the net. That’s just one of the ways it can happen.”

Moments later Jamie Crooks scored his 37th goal to make it 3-1.

Trivia buffs can chew on Crooks’ goal as it was the last one of Victoria’s inaugural regular season. Crooks also scored the first goal WHL goal of the season at Memorial Centre against the Vancouver Giants on Sept. 24.

Coach Marc Habscheid said his group didn’t have a preference about facing the second-place Kamloops Blazers, or first-place Tri City Ameri-cans – which would’ve happened if the Royals finished eighth.

“We haven’t given it a thought. A week ago, odds were stacked against us, now we’re in the playoffs.”

Royals watch• It’s the fifth time the Royals’ fran-

chise has made the playoffs since it started six years ago. The Chilliwack Bruins never got past the first round, winning one game against the Spo-kane Chiefs in 2011.

• Jamie Crooks was named the Royals most valuable player for 2011-12 at the team’s award ceremo-nies on Saturday. Among the many honourees were captain Hayden Rintoul as the top defenceman and Logan Nelson as top rookie.

Cougars three wins from Brent Patterson Memorial TrophyTravis PatersonNews Staff

If the Peninsula Panthers are going to compete with the Victoria Cougars in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League final series, they’ll need to stay out of the penalty box.

The Cougars scored four of their first five goals on the power play as they blasted the Panthers 8-0 in Game 1 of the Brent Patterson Memorial Trophy final series at Archie Browning Sports Centre on Sunday. The game took place a mere 21 hours after the fifth-seeded Panthers upset the second-

seeded Saanich Braves in Game 7 of their semifinal on Saturday, setting up a rematch of the 2011 final.

The Cougars are now three wins shy of the Brent Patterson Memo-rial Trophy, which they had all but engraved their name on in last year’s finals before the Panthers shocked Victoria by storming back from a 3-0 series deficit to win in seven games.

Sunday’s win was the second-straight blowout for the Cougars, who eliminated the Kerry Park Islanders 12-1 on March 8, with 11 goals on the power play.

Steve Axford led the charge, scoring two thirds of his hat trick on the power play. Wade Johnston scored twice, and Chris Bannister, Trevor Chown and Kyle Richter each scored once.

The Cougars outshot the Panthers 57-13.

Panthers forward Trevor Yee, who started this season on the

Islanders after winning the VIJHL and provincial championship with the Panthers last year, said his team

will be better prepared for Game 2 at Archie Browning on Thursday.

“It was tough on us coming back out to play Sunday after two hard games, Friday and Saturday, while the Cougars had over a week off,” Yee said. “Guys are still trying to get some rest.”

Coach Mark Van Helvoirt was happy with the Cougars game and knew the Panthers were susceptible to burnout on Sunday, which they did.

“The (Panthers) came out strong in the first 10 minutes and you could see the life slowly suck out of them after that.

“We’re not overly concerned with on-ice

distractions, which is something our guys have bought into.”

Van Helvoirt’s also not concerned with any carry over from last year’s final.

“It’s a new story with two rebuilt teams who’ve had a lot of turnover.”

Kyle SlavinNews staff

Blood donors in Greater Victo-ria know there’s a lot riding on their donation. And soon their blood will be riding on something else: the nightly 9 p.m. ferry to Tsawwassen.

The Canadian Blood Services (CBS) clinic on Saanich Road is about to make blood donations even more valu-able. However, doing so will mean the collec-tion bags can no longer be shipped by plane.

Later this year the clinic will switch to a new system that can better collect platelets, vital for helping cancer patients around the province.

“This will have a dramatic impact on people’s lives,” said Catherine Sloot, partnership spe-cialist with the blood service. Che-motherapy treatments can result in a loss of platelets, which help form clots or scabs on cut or bro-ken skin.

Donated blood is flown to Van-couver where it is broken down in a centrifuge into multiple prod-

ucts, including red blood cells, plasma-based components, and platelets. The latter separates into a layer known as the buffy coat.

“Platelets only have a shelf life of five days. So the faster we can collect the (platelet-heavy) buffy coat … and get it to hospitals, the better,” Sloot said.

The new system essentially refines how blood is stored, allow-ing the platelets a better chance

of survival while being transported to Vancouver. The existing method favours red blood cell survival – blood donations are stored around 4 C, nearly 20 degrees colder than the temper-ature at which platelets should be stored.

But the changes have logistical implications for distribution down the line. To better ensure platelets don’t per-ish on the trip to the CBS labora-tory in Vancouver, Saanich clinic employee Sean Kenny will see changes to how he ships blood.

Instead of packing styrofoam coolers with icepacks and blood bags, and sending them across the water every evening on a chartered flight, CBS is investing

in refrigerator trucks with elabo-rate cooling trays. This will help keep the blood stored in the most opportune environment before it’s centrifuged at the Vancouver lab.

Kenny will still make a nightly run up to Sidney with the blood – laid out on the trays – but now he’ll give the donations to a CBS employee from the mainland, who’ll drive them onto the ferry.

“We’re used to change at this place. We work within our stan-dard operating procedures to ensure we’re caring for the integ-rity of the blood in the best way possible,” Kenny said. “This is a really fluid operation – no pun intended.”

The changes will also represent a financial savings in the long run, as it’ll cost significantly less to take the ferry than it is to fly two dozen boxes of blood every night.

“This is not the reason we’re doing it, but it is a more cost-effective method,” Sloot said. “It’s more about taking a positive step to fine-tune the way that a unit of blood is being used.”

The red blood cells are used to help accident victims, surgical patients, and people with anae-mia. Plasma is typically used to treat burn and trauma victims.

The only change donors will notice is the clinic’s operating hours, which start one hour ear-lier starting April 9. The clinic,

located at 3449 Saanich Rd., will be open 10:30 a.m. to 6:15 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, as well as on alternat-ing Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m.

Mark Stefanson, vice-president of public affairs with B.C. Ferries, says the company will appreci-ate the steady business from CBS, especially on a sailing that isn’t typically busy.

“We’re really, really pleased that Canadian Blood Services has cho-sen us as their mechanism of trans-port,” Stefanson said. He added

that the 9 p.m. Swartz Bay-Tsaw-wassen ferry is rarely affected by cancellations.

Sloot hopes the earlier hours will benefit the donors, too, and allow businesses and schools, which donate en masse, to better accommodate donating into their schedule.

“There is always a need for blood donors. There’s nowhere else to get it,” Sloot said.

To register to donate or volun-teer, call 1-888-2-DONATE or visit blood.ca.

Blood on the water

Did you know?■ It takes four blood donations to make one bag of platelets for transfusion.■ One cancer patient may require up to five platelet transfusions a week.■ The Saanich Road clinic aims to collect 83 donations of blood per day.
