Amid a camera flash-heavy atmosphere, composer David Foster watched as a rope was pulled in the lobby of the Oak Bay Beach Hotel on Friday to reveal a tribute wall dedicated to the man and his successes.
An acclaimed music producer and
philanthropist, the Victoria-raised Foster was at the hotel to officially open the David Foster Foundation Theatre and celebrate the partnership between the hotel and the foundation.
This was Foster’s first trip to the hotel since its opening last year. With his wife Yolanda Hadid at his side, Foster shook hands with familiar faces and congratulated owners Shawna and Kevin Walker on their work.
“It’s so rare to find two people that are as committed as the two of you are to everything we do,” said Foster. “I don’t think we can underplay the importance of what
the two of you mean to this community and to our foundation.”
The tribute wall features an autographed photo of Foster, along with framed showcases of three eras of his career. There is also a multimedia touchscreen on which guests can bring up video clips of Foster and the music he has helped create over the years, along with information about the foundation.
“How do we pay tribute to a man who has done so much?” foundation CEO Mike Ravenhill asked. “Not only in the music industry, but as a humanitarian, a philanthropist.”
Foster poked a little fun at himself about the display.
“You see on there Alice Cooper, St. Elmo’s Fire the movie, Dionne Warwick, my solo albums – which were kind of pathetic and nobody bought them,” he joked.
“I did,” came a voice from the crowd.“You’re the one that bought them?
Because I saw that statement: one sale,” Foster laughed.
“I’m not going to get maudlin about this or go on and on, but it does make you reflect.”

Last Friday was the official opening of the David Foster Foundation Theatre in the Oak Bay Beach Hotel and the unveiling of the tribute wall dedicated to the famed music producer and composer.

AT ISSUE: Moving oil to the coast, transporting it using ships
Of all the ethical debates circling B.C. electoral candidates,
there are few more polarizing than oil tankers and pipelines.
Most Vancouver Islanders lean left on natural resource exportation and environmental protection, as suggested by consistently higher support
for both the NDP and B.C. Greens in opinion polls.
Currently, the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline snakes its way from Alberta to the West Coast, pumping 300,000 barrels of oil each day to its Burnaby terminal and various other locations.
On average, five tankers navigate the shores off Greater Victoria and through the Burrard Inlet each month, but Kinder Morgan wants to twin the pipeline and triple its capacity.
Combined with an expanded terminal in Burnaby, the increase would mean another 29 tankers in the Strait of Juan de Fuca each month, an issue that weighs heavily on the minds of voters in coastal communities, said Jessica Van der Veen, B.C. NDP candidate in Oak Bay-Gordon Head.
“The people of Vancouver and Greater Victoria do not think this is a realistic thing, to turn Vancouver into a major bitumen exporting port. It’s just not what British Columbians want,” she said.
Van der Veen said the next government will face the task of diversifying the energy economy, and she would advocate
to reduce energy demand by providing subsidies for retrofitting through carbon tax revenues.
The B.C. NDP is opposed to both Kinder Morgan’s plans and the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway project.
B.C. Green party leader Jane Sterk is universally opposed to pipeline expansion, but she said it’s not realistic to look at an immediate moratorium on tanker traffic on the southern coast.
“We know that bitumen oil is not going to get any cheaper (to extract), and it’s at a point now where the economics of it mean it may be too expensive to be part of our economy going forward,” said Sterk, the Greens’ Victoria-Beacon Hill candidate.
She advocates for a low-carbon economy by relaxing the regulatory process around wind and thermal energy, and by increasing the use of affordable solar panels on residential homes through partnership with B.C. Hydro.
“The potential for renewable energy is just massive,” Sterk said.
While The B.C. Conservative Party is staunchly pro-pipeline, any expansion should be balanced with strict environmental protection measures, said Joshua Galbraith, Saanich South B.C. Conservative candidate.
While the concerns about tanker traffic are justified on Vancouver Island, northern B.C. residents will need to make their own decision on the benefits and risks of the Enbridge proposal, Galbraith said.
“There’s definitely two sides to it. I’ve heard people say they don’t want a pipeline, period, but then
others say we need this pipeline to get the jobs and economic benefits that go along with it,” Galbraith said. “You should be able to balance smart economic
policy with smart environmental policy.”
The B.C. Liberals champion Premier Christy Clark’s five conditions for the Northern
Gateway pipeline, which include creating “world-class” oil spill response, prevention and recovery systems on land and sea, the successful completion of a federal environmental review and a fair share of fiscal and economic benefits with other stakeholders.
But voters remain “cautious and curious” about those conditions, said Christina Bates, B.C. Liberal candidate in Victoria-Swan Lake.
“It’s not enough to just say there are five conditions,” she said. “People need to be informed that the first three of them are environmental (conditions) and they need to be met before anything else is considered.”
On increased tanker traffic on the southern coast, Bates said Kinder Morgan’s track record speaks for itself.
“Kinder Morgan has had tanker traffic for 50 years on the coast and there have been no major spills,” she said.

The sixth Annual Young Exceptional Star (YES) Awards honour students from Oak Bay and nearby schools.
The awards recognize notable accomplishments of students from Grade 6 to 10. These students show leadership and prowess in such areas as volunteerism, arts, citizenship, academics and ath-letics, often overcoming obstacles to achieve their goals.
From Oak Bay High three Grade 10 students will receive the award: Morgan Roskelley, Olivia Smith Rodrigues and Cetareh Mohsenzadeh-Green.
Toria Simpson from Monterey middle school is also being honoured.
From nearby Lansdowne middle school, Oak Bay residents Ben Watts, Grade 8, and Clair Win-ther, Kate Horgan, Kosar Rabie, Madeleine Desbri-say and Trevor Izard, all in Grade 7, are recipients of the award.
The awards are being hosted at the Oak Bay Recreation Centre tonight (May 8), at 7 p.m.
YES awards celebrate youth
ClarificationThe story “The view from
the U.S.” in the Black Press’ May 3 issue of Progress mis-stated an 11 per cent increase which was March 2013 com-pared to March 2012.
The fiscal year for 2012
experienced a slight increase in passengers over 2011.
The story also misstated the percentage of Clipper riders staying overnight as 38 per cent, which is unknown due to the varying factors around the way travellers book their vacations.

Manitoba may not be known for its mountain ranges and steep terrain, but it was on the hills of the prairies that owner of Fawcett Expeditions, Rob Fawcett, began his passion for mountain biking.
Fawcett – a retired chartered accountant – now works in partnership with an Italy-based company, Progetto Avventura, along with Oak Bay Bicycles, to take adventure seekers to international destina-tions on a mountain bike.
The idea came to Fawcett after a year-long 15,000-kilometre around-the-world mountain bike trip. Instead of taking the highways and main roadways, he opted for the road – or trail – less traveled.
“I went from Vancouver to Halifax, and from there I took a plane to Ireland and biked to Wales and then England and over to France, Belgium, Holland to Ger-many, Austria, Slovenia and Croatia,” he said.
The journey continued from Greece and through the Middle East into Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzebekistan, Kyrgyzstan and China.
“(I) tried to find the most interesting way to get from here to there,” Fawcett said. “Because you can take the highway, but as a mountain biker, I find that’s the least fun and admirable way to ride your bike.”
The B.C. portion of Fawcett’s trip ended up being the first expedition offered by the company, which now takes people to Italy, Mongolia and China.
Oak Bay Bicycles owner Karl Ullrich got involved about three years ago, when he and a couple of his staff headed to Italy to scope out a new road route in Sicily and an off-road route from Rome to Florence.
The company now helps guide the Rome to Flor-ence route, which goes through Umbria and Tus-cany, taking the long road.
“Even backroads would be generous. They’re old cart trails and old farming roads,” Ullrich said. “It’s a unique way to experience it, to be able to ride through fields and woods and pop out into these towns.”
Riders cycle for four to six hours per day. This Italian journey costs participants about $3,000, not including airfare, which covers everything needed once the tour begins. While it’s a nice package to be
able to offer, Ullrich said it’s also great for the staff who get to go as guides.
“Anybody who enjoys cycling finds for the most part that when you go to new environments you have better endurance and more enthusiasm, just because around every corner it’s a new vista.”
On the trip, cyclists follow parts of the 2,000 year old Roman road, Via Francigena, in addition to a segment of an even older Etruscan road, to get them from Rome to Florence.
“You hit the Etruscan road on the second day and actually ride that for two or three hours,” said
Fawcett. “It is basically like a canyon that is carved out by the Etruscans, and you can ride it now with your mountain bike.”
Unlike Vancouver Island, Fawcett describes the kind of cycling done on the expeditions as being more like European style off-road touring.
For those thinking this might be a fun adventure, Fawcett has a few tips.
“These expeditions are designed for people who have a high level of fitness. They don’t necessarily have to have a high level of mountain bike skill, but a bit is good.”
Just because you’re a mountain biker doesn’t mean his expeditions are right for you, Fawcett added.
“Often mountain bikers can be more into free rid-ing and don’t have the fitness for this type of thing,” he said.
Though still a young company, Fawcett is merg-ing with his Italian partner to form an international expedition company under the name Mongolia Bike Challenge Cycling.

2009
When Adrian Dix took over as B.C. NDP leader two years ago, he struggled to communicate, especially in the sound bites of radio and TV.
There was a running joke in the legislature press gallery: It didn’t matter what question you asked him, you got a six-minute answer that ended with the evils of log exports.
Even more than under Carole James, the NDP railed against log exports. “B.C. logs for B.C. jobs” became one of Dix’s favourite slogans. As the election approached, another Dixism was heard daily: “Say what you’re going to do, say how you’re going to pay for it.”
So it was a surprise a few weeks ago when the NDP signaled it would essentially not offer a policy on log exports. They’re going to meet with “stakeholders” and come up with a plan after they get a majority government.
This is exactly the same non-policy the NDP had in 2009. They don’t have an answer to the industry’s point that the high price gained by premium logs in foreign markets is what keeps many loggers working, and subsidizes the harvest of other logs for B.C. coastal mills.
Another thing the NDP doesn’t like is private power development. This issue featured prominently
in the NDP leadership contest two years ago.
Leadership contender Mike Farnworth told the party faithful he would study independent power purchase contracts, and if he found that they are not in the public interest, he would “mend them or end them.” Another leadership hopeful, energy critic John Horgan, allowed that he would “break” contracts if necessary.
By this spring, Dix had a new non-position on power purchase contracts.
He will “assess them and address them.” The printed platform promises a review “within the limits of existing contracts.” Either they plan to risk a costly legal battle, or they’re just paying lip service. All you have to do to find out is elect them.
Labour code changes are another blank slate. A memo from the B.C. Federation of Labour executive to members last year described how they were working closely with the NDP to rewrite B.C. labour law.
The NDP election platform punts this issue until after the election as well, promising an independent expert panel to decide on issues like whether to end secret-ballot votes for union certification.
This isn’t just a bad idea, it’s a 30-year-old bad idea. It’s based on the destructive old notion
that employers are the enemy of workers, and only a union can protect them. The long decline of union membership in the private sector isn’t caused by employer bullying or secret-ballot votes that protect employees’ freedom of choice. The cause is global competition. The only protection workers have from that is their own efficiency.
Balancing the budget? An NDP government will strive to do that over “the business cycle,” says finance critic Bruce Ralston. Old-timers might remember this one. It’s taken from the NDP’s 1991 election platform.
Yes, 22 years ago there was a widespread belief in a predictable four-year cycle of commodity prices and other economic determinants. Whatever was left of that dusty, faded picture was erased with the financial collapse of 2008.
If you still believe in a predictable “business cycle,” you may be willing to accept that an NDP-led B.C. will become the first jurisdiction in human history to eliminate poverty, by setting annual targets and paying out borrowed money to low-income parents.
On ferries, fracking, union contracts, capital construction and other weighty matters, the NDP’s answer is the same: trust us.
Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com
NDP to B.C. voters: trust us
‘Balancing the budget over the business cycle is from the NDP’s 1991 platform.’
Tanker paranoia doesn’t help us
During election campaigns, any talk of economic development tends to be taken with a grain of salt, often viewed as overly optimistic predictions.
It’s no surprise then, that as the B.C. NDP and B.C. Liberals vie to become our next government, the issues of pipeline projects and the prospect of additional tanker traffic on B.C.’s coast have voters the most fired up.
In Greater Victoria, for example, many people find abhorrent the notion that dozens more oil tankers could one day be sailing past our pristine waterfront areas, if Kinder Morgan is granted permission to twin its Trans Mountain pipeline to Burnaby.
It’s easy to forget, as we stroll, run or bike along the Dallas Road walkway, or pathways in Oak Bay or Cadboro Bay, that the ocean which makes our views so scenic is a commercial waterway. Has been for years.
Asked why having more oil tankers on that marine highway is a bad thing, people inevitably warn of the potential for an environmental disaster, should a ship run aground or spring a leak in its double-hulled steel. They’ll point to the Exxon Valdez as an example of the environmental havoc a marine accident can wreak.
Let’s face it, when it comes to operating anything mechanical, whether it’s heavy equipment, a motor vehicle, a jet airplane or a huge ship, human error is always a possibility. And the consequences can be devastating.
But do we ban flying because planes can crash? Or ban motor vehicles knowing that people die every year in collisions?
Out of the hundreds of large ships that annually traverse the Strait of Juan de Fuca oil tankers and container ships alike – how many have run aground in anyone’s memory?
No one can predict when or if such a disaster might happen. But limiting such a vital transportation link and economic driver is akin to pulling the sheets over our heads and staying in bed.
That’s not the mindset that will help B.C. grow and prosper, especially at a time when we’re struggling to find our competitive niche in a still-shaky global economy.

Re: One deer to many (News May 1)I see another deer has been injured and either
maimed for the rest of its life or condemned to a slow lingering death as a cripple.
When will our elected local government exercise its responsibility and deal with the issue of too many urban deer? Their response has turned out to be no response at all. The decision to turn the matter over to a committee was a pure abdication of responsibility because a small,
but very vocal minority, run the issue. As a result the problem is still with us and
growing worse. I like to see the occasional deer, but there is simply too many in an urban setting. I for one am unhappy. The status quo is being ignored by the deer and as a result more and more of these encounters will occur with the poor deer almost always being the loser.
Ed WalkerOak Bay
I am appalled at the Capital Regional District and the municipalities refusal to deal with the urban deer pest population.
Exposing your citizens to deer-carried lyme disease, a serious and debilitating illness, is totally reprehensible. Why are the animals which spread lyme disease allowed to roam our gardens and streets?
Many people face illnesses or chronic conditions that lower their resistance. Municipalities are there to keep our streets and lands safe and clean for our use. You have utterly failed to protect your citizens and their pets by letting deer spread infected feces and lyme diseased ticks in our parks and communities.
Allowing the destruction of our fragile native species in oasis parks, like Uplands in Oak Bay, by damage from concentrated deer populations, gives the lie to all the CRD and municipal noise and pretty pamphlets on their efforts to support native plant species.
As well, we have seen many near accidents with deer, cars and bicyclists, making it clear that at some point we are going to be facing injuries to people.
And not just on the roads. The very busy public foot path on Henderson Lane has seen several near-miss serious accidents with frightened deer pelting along it.
Why are you waiting?In our own case, as homeowners, it has been a
nightmare for us these last three years as deer – up to four at a time, destroy our cherished trees, plants and vegetables, in our front and back gardens.
In the front, we have had to deer proof our fruit trees and plants into three big swathes of netting which are still under constant attack –
which leaves bits of netting floating out to catch in your feet or glasses, precipitating trips and falls.
While in the back garden, which is fully netted around our boundary, we now have to have a second set of barriers inside those barriers. Nothing stops the deer – they put their heads down and rip the outside netting or pull it down from its seven-foot height and jump over it.
The deer have destroyed our garden and native plants and eaten all (thousands) of the seedling Garry Oaks we used to give away. They have made it impossible to grow vegetables.
We have spent more than $700 trying to keep them out and nothing works.
When we want to go into our own back garden – which is invaded on average twice a week – we first search out the window, and then going out, pick up a rake for protection and search around carefully for deer, to avoid provoking an attack on ourselves. When we startle hidden deer they bolt wildly or threaten us, especially when they are protecting does. This is not what we had in mind when we created a wild garden habitat in our back garden.
I know that some householders, especially those with dogs do not have the problems we have, and don’t understand how awful it is to live under siege like this.
Surely the goals of protecting human and pet health, growing one’s own fruit and vegetables, feeling safe in your community, and nourishing a viable, workable natural garden are important goals for everyone. It is what the communities within the CRD promote – they just don’t do it.

The David Foster Foundation raises money to support the families of children who are receiving organ transplants. The money allows families to temporarily live near the hospital while their child is being treated, without having to worry about the financial stress.
A portion of the profit from every ticket sold to events at the David Foster Foundation Theatre goes toward the foundation.
About 800 families have benefitted from the foundation. Nearly $300,000 has been raised so far at the hotel for the cause.
“When you can find a partner that actually speaks, talks, eats and breaths our foundation, it’s amazing,” Ravenhill said. “We can’t do it without the great support of the community and of corporate sponsors and partners, such as the Walkers and the Oak Bay Beach Hotel.”

Oak Bay-Gordon Head NDP can-didate Jessica Van der Veen is clear-ing up misinformation surrounding a candidates forum held by the Vic-toria Chinese Community Associa-tion on Tuesday, April 30.
The regional event featured all the candidates from Oak Bay-Gor-don Head except for Van der Veen, with Victoria-Swan Lake candidate Rob Fleming representing the NDP.
Some suggested Van der Veen chose not to take part in the event, asking Fleming to fill in for her.
Both Fleming and Van der Veen confirmed Fleming was invited
to the event directly a number of weeks ago by the event’s organiz-ers. Van der Veen also attended the event as an audience member and supporter.
“I saw that it was happening, and I thought it’s important for me to be at this regional event,” Van der Veen said. “We respect the decision on who they chose to invite. That’s it.”
Van der Veen said she is more than willing to take part in debates.
“I’ve done four debates and they were excellent experiences,” she said. “I’ll go to any debate that any-one invites me to. I’d be delighted to.”

Bicycle thief spotted leaving school
Police are on the lookout for a man seen riding a bicycle allegedly stolen from Oak Bay High on May 1.
At 12:35 p.m. that day, Oak Bay police received a report of a stolen bicycle at the school. A white male, described as being in his mid-20s, approximately 5’8”
tall with a medium build, wearing a dark brown hoodie, a blue bike helmet and carrying a black backpack was seen rid-ing what appeared to be the stolen blue Kona mountain bike towards Cadboro Bay Road.
Cyclist struck by uninsured driver
A cyclist struck by a driver who failed to yield sustained only minor injuries, while the driver of the vehicle is now facing hefty fines.
At 8:30 p.m. on May 3, Oak Bay police
responded to a call of cyclist struck by a vehicle travelling westbound at the intersection of Cadboro Bay Road and Bowker Avenue.
A 60-year-old Oak Bay resident driv-ing an uninsured 2009 Toyota Camry slowed down for a yield sign before turning right onto Cadboro Bay and struck the rear wheel of the bike, police said.
The cyclist sustained only minor inju-ries from the collision, while the driver was issued traffic violation tickets of $598 for driving without insurance and $167 for failing to yield.
Summer weather brings out public drinkers
A group of youths at Willows Beach had their Cinco de Mayo plans cut short when police issued a ticket for consum-ing liquor in public on Sunday. At 6:15 p.m. Oak Bay police responded to a report of youths drinking liquor on the beach esplanade and issued one ticket to the person seen drinking.
With the onset of summer-like weather, the Oak Bay police say they plan to ramp up their presence in beaches and parks.

Listening to music in a post-dental surgery drug-induced haze, Zoe Clint thought to herself: “music, that’s a great way to fundraise for something.”
Now she’s the Tim Hortons Camp Day fundraising co-ordinator for three of Langford’s Tim Hortons locations.
“I ran with it,” she said. “I wanted to make other people feel good.”
Her co-workers at the Goldstream location loved the idea, so she secured Eagle Ridge Park as a venue and set July 6 as the Tim Hortons Camp Day Battle of the Bands to raise funds for underprivileged children to attend summer camp.
On stage at America’s Got Talent four years ago, John Johnston, better known as Johnny Bagpipes, felt like he’d
been had. As a judge for the fundraising band battle, he’s determined not to convey those feelings to participants.
“I know what it’s like to have your hopes and dreams shot down from America’s Got Talent,” Johnston said. “I don’t like to see that, but I think (competition is) fun because it makes all the bands do their peak performances, because they’re being judged. I hate seeing people get discouraged because they didn’t win. There are no losers.
“I love rock and roll. I love live music and I think live music needs to be supported. We’ve seen it fading out in Victoria and the Western Communities, and it needs to come back,” he added.
He’ll bring his prior experience as a judge for Victoria’s Got Talent with him.
“Little girls would come out there and sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star … you think ‘dang it. I love you’ (said with Blaine Shelton twang). Then you say that and the little girl doesn’t win and you face the parents,” said Johnston.
Peter Bodman co-owner of ManKind Studio will judge alongside Johnny Bagpipes.
“There’s a spark to certain acts. There’s a certain something that’s hard to define. … you can usually hear it in bands that have it,” said Trevor Timmermann, co-owner of ManKind. “We’re always looking for new stuff you never know.”
Bands will compete for a recording prize offered by ManKind Studio during the two-hour battle.
Deadline for bands to apply, via
email to [email protected], is June 6. The application fee is $20.
The day of the battle, local
musicians will perform. Other activities planned from 2 to 7 p.m. include belly dancing
demonstration and instruction, kids’ events, food vendors and acting troupes.
The Battle of the Bands starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5 for adults with those 12 and younger free.
“We want it to be affordable to all families,” Clint said. “It’s going to be pretty spectacular.”
Tim Hortons Camp Day Battle of the Bands is July 6 from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Eagle Ridge City Center, 1089 Langford Pkwy.
THE ARTS The all new Richie Woodland Band with Eric the Red (alto and tenor saxophone and percussive instruments), Pedro Arbour (drums and backing vocals) and Richie Woodland (vocals, semi-acoustic electric guitar and keyboard) debuts at Swan’s Brewpub, 506 Pan-dora, on May 9 at 9 p.m. No minors, no cover charge.

Eyestrain... One causeUndetected farsightedness (HYPEROPIA) is a
common cause of eyestrain. How can farsighted-ness go undetected? It can’t, of course, if you have your eyes examined routinely.
People can mask small to moderate amounts of farsightedness by using the eye muscles to see dis-tant objects. Even more muscular effort is required to focus on near objects. This action is known as “ACCOMMODATION”. Constant accommodation to see causes significant eyestrain and fatigue.
Ideally, the eyes should not require any focus-ing to see faraway objects clearly. The eye muscles should be totally relaxed. This would leave all the accommodation available to focus in on near tasks. When the eyes are already focusing to see distant objects, the added effort to focus on near work can be very tiring.
When we are young we accommodate uncon-sciously and small amounts of farsightedness can be ignored if vision is good. Since children have a huge capacity to accommodate a parent may miss the sometimes subtle signs of higher amounts of hyperopia. The resulting eyestrain can lead to the avoidance of near tasks. Slower reading develop-ment is common in children with significant hy-peropia. In some farsighted children the focusing effort may even cause crossed eyes.
A person’s ability to accommodate decreases with age. Eventually most farsighted people seek help, but they first may have endured years of un-necessary discomfort. Children should be exam-ined, even in the absence of complaints because they may not be aware that they are working their eyes harder than is necessary.

Self-sufficiency is one of life’s privi-leges paid little attention to unless it is lost or under threat.
Climbing back from the psycho-logical abyss of an abusive relation-ship, job loss or drug use is often a shielded journey shared by only those closest to the process.
For the past 20 years, Women in Need and its volunteers have quietly celebrated those successes, help-ing more than 18,000 women in the Capital Region work through trauma and transition.
But organizers need community support to expand two successful programs that help women rebuild their lives.
“Our goal in 2013 is for 100 women to participate in our pro-grams, and that means raising $100,000 over the next year,” said Clare Yazganoglu, WIN executive director.
WIN recently launched its new Transitions program and revamped Self-Sufficiency program. Most of the women who attend the programs are living in transitional housing, Yazganoglu said.
Transitions teaches effective
communication skills and how to set personal boundaries in relation-ships, while Self-Sufficiency provides one-on-one support and financial assistance to women looking to build a career or return to school.
“These are women who want to make shifts towards becoming vibrant members in the community,” Yazganoglu said.
While WIN maintains strict confi-dentiality with its clients, “respect,” “integrity” and “grateful” pepper the anonymous comments made by graduates of the programs.
“It is one thing to have dreams, but feeling supported and account-able to the generosity of donors in actualizing those dreams is immea-surable,” said one participant.
WIN provides gift certificates to women in transitional housing for any of its three thrift stores around Greater Victoria.
Their operations are funded through private and business dona-tions.

Stolen dog enters protective custody
A nine-month old husky is in protective custody after a woman, who allegedly stole the dog from a Saanich home in April, returned to the scene of the crime.
Saanich police arrested a 30-year-old Squamish woman on May 2 after she came to the home in the 700-block of Haliburton Rd., in breach of a court order.
Police allege the same woman stole Timber the dog from the home and took him to the Mainland on April 23. Whistler RCMP arrested her on sus-picion of break and enter and theft, and she was released under conditions.
Last Thursday the family, which had adopted the dog a few weeks ago, reported to police the woman came to their home and pleaded for the return of Timber.
“The family opted not to take the dog back for this very reason,” said Saanich police Sgt. Steve Eassie. “They were concerned the previous owner would come back.”
The woman went to the Victoria SPCA shelter in a presumed attempt to locate the dog, and was arrested for breaching a court order. Eassie said the dog is in an undisclosed location but isn't at the SPCA.

Brett Levis’ debut was a sharp one as the dynamic striker was in on all three goals for the Victoria High-landers on Saturday at Royal Athletic Park.
Levis scored once and assisted on goals by Thomas Mallette and Jor-die Hughes as the Highland-ers won its Professional Development League home opener 3-0 over the visiting Kitsap Pumas.
“We hoped for a good per-formance and good result, and I think 3-0 is more than we’d really expected, a good start,” said head coach Steve Simonson.
Victoria soccer fans will have to wait two weeks for the next home match. The Highlanders top men’s side now enters a bye week followed by a road game against the Vancouver Whitecaps under-23 on Fri-day (May 17) and a home game versus the Seattle Sounders under-23 on Sun-day (May 19) at RAP.
“The way the schedule is set up this year, to accom-modate the multi-use park we’ve got to get our home games in early. It’s also based on a tight schedule
for everyone else in the PDL,” Simonson said.
Having an early bye week is not all bad. It gives the club more time to prepare as a team, as the club final-ized key additions, such as Brett Levis, last week.
“We need to work towards where we want to be and definitely have more work to do,” Simonson said.
It’s Simonson’s first full season at the helm, having come on late in 2012 and his recruiting has paid early dividends. Levis, in partic-ular, signed last week and comes from the University of Saskatchewan Huskies.The striker finished second in scoring in the Canada West conference this year with nine goals and six assists while being named a Second Team All-Canadian.
“Levis came to us through dialogue between Huskies coach Bryce Chapman and I,” Simonson said. “He is always looking to help his players move on and it opened the door to bringing him here.”
Levis, pronounced in the same fashion as the famous blue jeans brand, is a dynamic and shifty player who is dangerous in many ways, as shown on Saturday with a goal and two assists.
“He’s a good dribbler and is so comfortable on the ball, he can toy his way through defenders, and it has that cascading effect, it opens up play for some-body else,” Simonson said.
Despite the win it’s still too early to gauge the High-landers.
“The May 17 to 19 week-end will be a telling one,” Simonson said, as the High-landers take on two of the three top teams, the White-caps, with players on pro contracts, and the reigning division champion Sound-ers.

The historic James Bay Ath-letic Association will take a crack at its favourite trophy against Burnaby Lake in the Rounsefell Cup provincial men’s rugby championship game this weekend.
The second-place Bays upended third-place Capilano 34-27 in overtime of the CDI Pre-mier League semifinal at McDon-ald Park on Saturday.
First place Burnaby Lake dented the hopes of an all-Island final beating the fourth-seed Castaway Wanderers 26-10 in the other semifinal.
Because the Bays have reached the final, the Rounsefell Cup premier men’s B.C. champi-onship will be played at UVic’s Wallace Field on Saturday, May 11. The Rounsefell Cup loca-tion rotates between Vancouver Island and the Mainland but will
only happen here if an Island team qualifies, which it has.
In other men’s rugby, the Velox Valhallians hosted a tri-ple header on Saturday and fell short in all three.
It ends the Valhallians’ cam-
paign for promotion to the CDI Premier league as they fell 19-15 to Abbotsford in the Okanagan Spring Brewery League semi-finals.
Abbotsford edged Velox’s Academy side 46-29 in the Okan-agan Brewery League Div. 1 semifinals.
Earlier in the day the Brit Lions scored heavily in a 48-17 win over the Valhallians Div. 3 side, also a provincial semifinal.
The UVic Norsemen advance to the Ceili’s Div. 1 provin-cial final with a 23-12 win over Meraloma.
It all sets the stage for a day of rugby finals at UVic on May 11 with Victoria clubs in both pre-mier finals as the Velox Valkyries will face Burnaby Lake in the Women’s Adidas Premiership Gordon Harris Cup.
Velox won last year’s Harris Cup and makes its third straight appearance in the final.

McMahon has traditionally com-peted on the Inter-national Triathlon Union’s world circuit, which is Olympic distanced (1,500-metre swim, 40km bike, 10km run). Iron-man 70.3 races are a 1.9km, 90km bike and 21.1km run, half the distances of the famous Ironman race.

The Q’s Victoria Run Series returns for its fourth season beginning Saturday (May 11) at Oak Bay High’s Jack Wallace Memorial track.
The competitive race series has been revamped with four track events, with two road races and two cross country races added later in the summer.
Saturday’s 5,000-metre race will feature several top age-group athletes from Greater Victoria, including former Uni-
versity of Victoria Vikes captain Cliff Childs, who is seeking the World University Champion-ships (FISU) qualifying time of 14 minutes.
There will be at least eight events for the 2013 series, said organizer Chris Kelsall.
“I am working on two more potential events, one on the road in mid-September as well as another track meet in late August,” said series director Christopher Kelsall.
The schedule starts with four track events, May 11 at Oak Bay High, May 25 and June 1 at UVic’s
Centennial Stadium, and June 15 at Oak Bay High. Each has three distances, the 800-metre, 1,500m and 5,000m or 3,000m, with the classic mile race added on June 15.
New are a 5km road race from the Pacific Institute of Sports Excellence on July 6, and a pair of 6km cross country races at Beaver Lake, Aug. 31 and Sept. 6.
Proceeds from the series sup-port the Mustard Seed Food Bank.

Former Jr. Shamrock passes away at 24
The Shamrocks lacrosse family is mourning the sud-den recent passing of Scott Stone.
The 24-year-old died May 1. A former St. Michaels Uni-
versity School and Oak Bay High student, Stone played played box lacrosse at the highest levels in B.C., with the Jr. Shamrocks and the Nanaimo Timbermen of the Western Lacrosse Associa-tion. In 2008 Stone helped the junior Shamrocks capture sil-ver at the Minto Cup national championship in Calagry. He was drafted to the WLA by the Timbermen.
Stone was an athlete and adventurer and excelled at soccer and rugby, and was a traveller as well.
He had only recently acquired his helicopter licence prior to his passing, a lifelong dream.
The Victoria Royals used its first pick to select centreman Dante Hannoun 11th overall in the first round of the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft on Thursday (May 2).

He led North Shore to the 2013 provin-cial Bantam Tier 1 champion-ship and a silver medal at the 2013 Western Canada Bantam Championship.
“Hannoun is a dynamic talent who plays with intensity and he sees the ice as well as anyone in the game. He’s an intelligent player who can finish and makes his teammates better," Royals general manager Cameron Hope said on his team’s release.
The 5-foot-6, 145 lbs. forward participated in the 2013 U16 BC
Cup, scoring one goal for Team Flyers en route to the B.C. Cup title.
The Royals also selected: Mat-thew Phililps, a centre from Cal-gary, second round, 33rd over-all; Noah Gregor, a centre from Beaumont, Alta., third round, 55th overall; Blake Jameson, a defenceman from Brandon, Man., in the fourth round, 75th overall, (pick acquired from Kootenay Ice); Brayden Dunn, a centre from Calgary, fourth round, 77th overall; Jared Dmy-triw, forward from Craven, Sask., fourth round; 83rd overall (pick acquired from Calgary Hitmen); Ethan Frank, forward from Omaha, Neb., fourth round, 84th overall (pick acquired from Kam-loops Blazers); Matt Hellickson, defenceman from Minnesota, Minn., fifth round, 99th overall; Ty Westgard, centre, Semiah-moo, 165th overall.

OAK BAY NEWS - Wednesday, May 8, 2013 www.vicnews.com • A19
It’s 11:15 on a sunny Sunday morning at Clover Point and owners with leashed pooches in tow begin to gather around Asia and Jim
Moore.The
couple have operated K-9 Superheroes Dog Whispering service for the past six years and host a group dog walk with current and past clients on weekends, rain or shine.
Teaching “dog psychology” – the more clinical name for dog whispering – is their primary stock in trade and applies to both the animals and their owners, Asia says.
“There’s lots of dog lovers out there, but loving a dog is not enough,” she says.
“People continue to get dogs when they don’t have the capacity to give them what they need.”
Socialization, one of the main reasons for the regular group walks, is crucial for dogs, she says.
Similar to wild counterparts such as wolves, dogs have a pack mentality and are looking to follow, Asia says, and that means owners must lead in a way the dog understands.
The Moores do their best to teach
both dog and owner a common language in two sessions, which last as long as required to make progress. That language has nothing to do with instilling fear, Asia notes, but is about being consistent.
“A dog needs rules and boundaries – actions that tell it what it’s supposed to be doing.”
When dogs are perceived to be behaving badly, they are simply acting out in the only way they know how, she says.
K-9’s one-on-one service – they offer no group classes – is primarily aimed at helping people eliminate such behaviours in their dog as jumping on visitors, barking incessantly or acting aggressively toward people or other dogs. But there are positive byproducts.
“For a lot of people, (having success working with their dog) helps them feel better about themselves and feel like more of a confident person,” Asia says.
Asia grew up on Salt Spring Island and found training dogs came naturally to her. Along the way, she says, she learned to communicate with humans, an important skill in a venture that sees the couple interview clients before beginning work with the dog.
Jim Moore grew up around horses and brings a decidedly male perspective to the business, Asia says.
“If you’re not afraid of horses, you’re not going to be afraid of dogs,” she says.

From a business perspective, working as a couple is an advantage, Jim says, in that some dog owners respond better to a man than a woman.
“I think with our interpersonal skills and life experience, we bring a lot to the table,” he says.
The Moores, who also work with rescued dogs and help place problem animals, schedule no more than one session a day so they can give clients the time they need, Asia says.
As for the Sunday walks, getting the animals together – both the four-legged and two-legged varieties – is a good opportunity for both species to check in.
“Dogs need socialization,” Asia says, adding that the owners frequently have questions for them.
