In the wilderness of a remote South Island lake, Kendrick Brown leans over the boat’s edge and drives a hollow tube into the soft lakebed sediment below.

What he pulls out, one metre at a time, is a historical timeline embedded in lay-ers of organic and non-organic matter. It tells him about the past, and helps paint a picture of what’s to come.

“They’re nature’s archives: strati-graphic sequences in the mud that read like pages in a book,” says Brown, a research scientist with the Canadian For-est Service.

“Basically, the same mud that you sink your toes into during a summer swim is the cover of the book, a recording of his-tory of the region based on the matter that has settled into the lake floor.”

Brown’s project team is based out of the Pacific Forestry Centre in Saan-ich and includes research technician Nicholas Conder, Nicholas Hebda, and University of Victoria co-op student Kiera Smith. While the focus is on the past, the results can help inform about the future.

The team’s current focus is on sedi-ment cores collected from the Greater Victoria Water Supply Area, namely from Begbie Lake and the Sooke Lake Reser-voir.

Brown is examining records from these lakes because paleoclimate indicators suggest the past time interval known as the early Holocene (11,700-7,000 years ago) was warmer and drier compared to present-day.

Scientists hope the data may serve as a first-order reference to what future

conditions may be like if induced by cli-mate change.

There are models suggesting tempera-tures in southern B.C. may increase 2-3 degrees C by 2100, he said.

Extracting pollen and charcoal frag-ments from the lake sediment cores allows the team to assess how vegetation and fire changed through time,” Brown said.

“We now have a sense of how the fire regime has changed in the Sooke Lake Reservoir catchment throughout the Holocene (period) and will be informing the CRD about the natural variability of fire events within the water supply catch-

ment,” he said. “We’re now working to understand how vegetation in the catch-ment has changed through time, the signal of which is contained in abundant fos-sil pollen grains in the sedi-ment.”

The forestry scientists have teamed up with the CRD because the regional body needs to know about fire risk to water supply, Brown said.

“We’re using nature’s archives to learn how the land responded to past changes in climate and identifying past periods that might be analogues for the future,” he said.

Are future generations of South Island-ers destined to live in a fire-prone region? Not quite, but fire disturbance may increase in the future.

“We need to plan for and protect against this risk. While fire is not a common form of disturbance today, it was more preva-lent in the past,” Brown said.

That plan is still a few years off. The team is hoping to produce an initial report of findings by the end of 2016.

Ancient fires stoke CRD climate plans

Travis Paterson/News staff

Dr. Kendrick Brown of the Pacific Forestry Centre points to a two-centimetre layer of volcanic ash in a core sample from Begbie Lake. The ash was deposited after Oregon’s Mt. Mazama erupted 7,700 years ago. Brown is part of a research team preparing a report for the CRD that describes what the South Island’s anticipated transformation to a warmer, dryer climate will mean for the Sooke Lake Water Reservoir.

Did you know?n Brown’s team use a Livingstone corer to reach lake sediment depths of up to 10 metres, sometimes more. The deeper the corer goes, the older the sediment.

COMMUNITYNEWSIN BRIEF

Former CBC host seeks Green nod

Jo-Ann Roberts, the for-mer host of CBC Radio One’s All Points West, is seeking the nomination of the Green Party of Canada to challenge Victoria MP Murray Rankin in next fall’s election.

Roberts took an early retirement from CBC in December to speak freely about the effect of budget cuts on CBC program-ming.

Saanich-Gulf Islands MP and federal Green party leader Elizabeth May said the Greens would reverse federal funding cuts to the CBC if elected. Fed-earl NDP leader Tom Mul-cair has made the same pledge.

The nomination meet-ing for the Green Party will be held Saturday Jan. 31 from 3 to 4 p.m. at the Inn at Laurel Point, 680 Mon-treal St.

Weaver hosts poverty forum

Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA Andrew Weaver hosts Poverty and Homelessness, The Difficult Conversation at the University of Victoria on Feb. 4.

The forum will feature four expert panelists including Andrew Wynn-Williams, executive director of the Greater Victoria Coalition to End Homelessness; City of Victoria Coun. Charlayne Thornton-Joe, who is also a member of the Regional Housing Trust Fund Commission; Bruce Wallace, UVic assistant professor and researcher; and Bernice Kamano, a member of the Greater Victoria Coalition to End Homelessness speakers bureau.

Each panelist will give a brief presentation discussing why they got involved in their work, what they believe are the biggest obstacles in addressing poverty and homelessness and what they see as the best solutions.

Following the presentations will be an open Q&A.

The event runs 7 to 9 p.m. on Feb. 4 in room A120 of the David Turpin Building.

Two cyclists hitTwo cyclist-involved colli-

sions kept Saanich police busy last week, and in one incident a helmet likely saved a man’s life.

On Jan. 21 around 5:10 p.m., a male cyclist was struck by a vehicle in the 4100-block of Lambrick Way in Gordon Head. The cyclist had been attempt-ing to make a lefthand turn from Feltham Road onto Lam-brick Way when he was struck by a car heading in the same direction, said Saanich police Sgt. Steve Eassie.

The cyclist’s helmet likely saved the man’s life, Eassie added.

“Judging by the damage sus-tained to the helmet that the cyclist was wearing, it is very probable that the wearing of the bicycle helmet prevented a serious injury or death to the cyclist,” he said.

In an earlier incident around 6:30 a.m., a cyclist in her 50s was involved in a collision on the Trans-Canada Highway at McKenzie Avenue.

The woman was crossing in the marked crosswalk along the Galloping Goose Trail, Eassie said.

“She was transported to hos-pital and the extent of her inju-ries was not known,” he said.

Anonymous tip hotline, community program moves into Saanich PD

Daniel PalmerNews staff

When Ernie Dechant tells people he used to be a blood spatter expert in the RCMP, he anticipates the wide eyes and ignorant prodding for his grizzliest crime stories.

Dechant instead chooses to highlight the supportive Greater Victoria commu-nity he’s discovering as one of two civilian program co-ordinators for Greater Victo-ria Crime Stoppers.

“What I love about this job is when you see crimes of a personal nature, the tips come flooding in. The community won’t stand for it,” says Dechant, who moved to Broadmead with his wife last year after spending 21 years with the RCMP.

Crammed into a tiny office in the base-ment of the Saanich Police Department, Crime Stoppers is once again ramping up in the Capital Region with dedicated civil-ian staff. (The program was previously run in-house by police officers.)

The two-person team, whose salaries are covered in part by each police depart-ment in the region, includes Dechant and fellow co-ordinator Amanda Schenk. After setting up in November, the pair is now on a mission to better inform the community about the unique service.

“Crime Stoppers really is about gather-ing information, that’s our mandate,” says Schenk, who grew up in Saanich and spent her summers between university working in Saanich police’s records department. “The other part of it is letting people know we’re keeping the community safe.”

The biggest misconception of Crime Stoppers, says Schenk, is that potential tipsters are often afraid they’ll be com-pelled to identify themselves or testify if a tip proves worthwhile to a police investi-gation. But that’s just not true.

“We can guarantee your protection by never having your information in the first place,” Dechant says. “There is legislated case law that protects you and the tip information, and we couldn’t identify you even if we were compelled by a court order.”

Every 1-800 call is answered by a 24/7 call centre in Ontario, where it’s screened and then sent to the relevant jurisdiction. If the tip is urgent, anonymous callers are asked to call 911. Incoming phone num-bers aren’t recorded.

“In our office, we get tips when we come in in the morning, and begin putting them out to Crime Stoppers liaisons at each police department from there,” Schenk said.

Police liaisons are then responsible for determining whether action is required or if the tip is kept for information only.

After 30 days, Schenk and Dechant follow-up with the police department to determine whether a cash reward of up to $2,000 is appropriate for the tipster.

“We have a tip calculator that assigns points and calculates the reward value based on how much property and drugs were seized and the arrests made. If there’s a risk to the caller, that drives up the reward as well,” Schenk says.

A Crime Stoppers board of directors, made up of volunteer members in the community, must then approve those

cash payments. The board is also respon-sible for fundraising initiatives.

But how does the process remain anon-ymous when cash is exchanged? It turns out it’s relatively simple, if not a bit cloak and dagger.

Callers are given a code to check back on their tips. Once a payment is arranged, the cash is left at a “busy local organi-zation,” where a tipster can pick it up under a pseudonym at their convenience, Schenk says.

“An important part of the anonymity is we have no way of contacting these tipsters: They can only contact us,” she added. “Sometimes people are eligible for rewards but they never follow-up so they’re never claimed.”

Each week, Dechant and Schenk gather information on at-large criminals and crimes where police needs tips. Through the help of local media – including Saa-nich News – residents are informed on Victoria’s Most Wanted and Crimes of the Week to garner more tips for police.

Volunteers will soon be needed for the upcoming summer event season, when Crime Stoppers will up their community presence and being spreading the word about how their service makes an impact.

“I was introduced to Crime Stoppers at my first posting in Quesnel, B.C., and I really liked the way the program worked,” says Dechant, who took up various posts in B.C. and in the Northern territories before retiring from the RCMP.

Dechant decided to make the jump into civilian life and move to Greater Victoria after experiencing the best and worst of human behaviour across the country.

“There’s just a different mentality here

than there is anywhere else,” Dechant says. “People are laid back, it’s extremely relaxed. … When you’re a police officer, you deal with a lot of negativity. But the best part about this job with Crime Stop-pers is the positive community spirit.”

“Crime Stoppers combats the two things that stop people from reporting crime: fear and apathy,” adds Schenk. “We combat those through anonymity and the potential of a cash reward. The result is the community is safer for it.”

Campsite fees are going up between $2 and $5 at provincial parks around B.C. this spring.

After March 15, a night under the stars at Golden Ears or Gordon Bay or Goldstream Provincial Park goes from $30 to $35 per night, while many more remote campsites will see a smaller increase in fees.

Fees at 40 provincial campgrounds in the Kootenay-Okanagan, North-ern, South Coast and West Coast regions are increasing at least $3 a night, and 141 of B.C.’s 204 provincial campgrounds will see a $2 increase.

The Ministry of Environment says this is the first province-wide increase in fees since 2010. Rates for backcountry camping and use of sani-stations remain at $5, and fees for mooring buoys, picnic shelters

and group camping are unchanged. Parking fees for day-use lots, a

failed experiment from 10 years ago, are not being reintroduced.

The ministry says the varied rate increases take into account local demand and economic conditions as well as private camping availability.

The province collected about $17 million from its park and recre-ation fees last year, while spending $22 million on direct park operating costs.

Campsite use is on the rise in B.C. since the introduction of an online reservation service called Discover Camping, which opens for the sea-son at 9 a.m. on March 15. The sys-tem handled 133,000 reservations last year.

Camping fees going up across B.C. parks

Steven HeywoodBlack Press

Washington State Ferries was shown what they termed a status quo budget proposal by that state’s gover-nor last month.

That’s good news for the Capital Region, as it means there will be none of the ferry service reductions pro-posed earlier in the fall.

Washington State Ferries had floated the idea of increasing the win-ter shutdown by another two months to save money.

Melissa Johnson, operations policy advisor for WSDOT and the Sidney, B.C. terminal manager, said since 2007 there have been more Canadi-

ans entering the U.S. (than the other way around.

“This is vital information that peo-ple, especially legislators, need to know,” she said.

Washington State Ferries (WSF) is the largest ferry system in the U.S. and carried an estimated 22.8 million passengers and 10 million vehicles in the last fiscal year.

Johnson said they’ve been able to welcome that many by keeping their fares comparable to those offered by the Coho Ferry and even B.C. Ferries.

Sidney is expanding its interna-tional ferry terminal. A new toll booth is estimated to be done by the time service resumes on March 22. The winter shutdown began Dec. 27.

A year’s gas, groceries part of prize package Travis PatersonNews staff

Cheryl Paquette’s first notice that she was a “potential” winner of Save-On-Foods’ Ultimate Rewards Sweep-stakes came by email.

The Saanich resident acted cau-tiously, but promptly, and she’s glad she did, as she won a laundry list of prizes, the only Islander to win one of 10 grand prize packages.

“I thought the email was spam or a hoax so I printed it off and took it into the Saanich (Plaza) store to ask them,” Paquette said. “The email had said I must fill out a declaration and have it notarized and returned to them in four days, so I was a little hesitant.”

It took a month, but she was noti-fied she was indeed a grand prize winner of the Ultimate Rewards Sweepstakes. Paquette won $5,200 in groceries (paid in 52 $100 gift cards),

$3,000 in gas gift cards from Chevron, a $1,000 Uniglobe Travel voucher, 100,000 More Reward Points, a $1,000 seven-day car rental from National/Alamo, a $1,600 six night stay at a Coast Hotel property, a $500 three night stay at an Accent Inns location, a $150 car care package from Speedy Glass and a $150 pair of sunglasses from VisionPros.com.

“This is such an amazing prize to win – it will help our family so much. I retired less than two years ago and have lived and worked in Victoria my entire life,” Paquette said.

She first started shopping at the Saanich Plaza Save-On-Foods about 10 years ago as the dispensing fees for her husband’s multiple sclero-sis medication were the lowest she could find at the time, she said.

“I have never won anything like this in my life,” Paquette added.

When the B.C. government last resorted to shooting wolves from helicopters in the 1980s, an emotional public outcry forced a retreat.

In the B.C. tradition, sensation-seeking urban media and protesters led the way. An outraged reporter named Pamela Martin marched a BCTV crew off the road near Fort St. John to expose this presumed crime against nature. With a metre of snow and temperatures dipping to -40, they didn’t get far, but public sentiment was aroused enough for politicians to overrule wildlife biologists.

This winter, while snow reveals the wolves’ location from the air, the choppers and rifles are out again. And my heart goes out to the biologists and First Nations hunters who face this grim task.

The South Selkirk mountain caribou herd, which ranges between B.C., Idaho and Washington, has been the target of intensive conservation efforts by governments on both sides of the border. Six of the remaining 18 animals now wear radio collars.

There were 46 in 2009, only 27 by 2012, and wolves have killed two more since last spring.

Targeted hunting and trapping haven’t been sufficient, so up to 24 grey wolves are to be shot from the air before the snow melts.

There are seven caribou herds in the South Peace, with the Graham herd the largest at about 700. It’s the control group, left to fend for itself as a measure of wolf removal for the rest. The Burnt Pine herd is down to one bull,

effectively extinct. The province and Treaty 8 First Nations are working on a plan to kill 120-160 wolves in that region.

It’s long been accepted that resource roads, logging and recreational trail use have increased herd disruption and predator access through what would otherwise be seamless bush and deep snow.

Snowmobiles and even back-country skiers can shift the balance.

A mountain caribou recovery plan was implemented in 2007, protecting 2.2 million hectares from

logging and road-building, including most of the core habitat of the South Selkirk herd. The Nature Conservancy of Canada bought 550 square kilometres in that region to protect habitat.

Strategies include transplanting animals from healthier to weaker herds to increase genetic diversity, and capturing and penning females with young calves to keep them from being picked off by wolves.

The B.C. grey wolf population averages around 8,500, with managed hunting and trapping to protect livestock while preserving the wolf as apex predator in most of its wide range.

This context is seldom reported by Vancouver media, which mostly sees its role not as explaining issues but rather embarrassing whatever political party is in power, and providing an uncritical platform for the stop-logging-mining-energy crowd, which is seen as popular with urban viewers.

I suppose we’ll never know what difference the 1980s wolf kill would have made if it hadn’t been shouted down for TV ratings and urban enviro-donations.

Wolves cull a difficult task

Banks shirk customer loyalty

Canada’s big six banks love to lure one another’s customers using incentives such as free tablets, prepaid credit cards or other consumer temptations.

Qualifying for that iPad usually means transferring not just a chequing account, but also RSPs, a Tax-Free Savings Account and opening a new credit card.

But what are the banks doing to retain loyal customers? Not very much, it seems.

Most banks offer rewards programs, where points are accumulated through use of an annual fee credit card. Those fees tend to range upwards of $100 to $150. Rewards points accumulated through the credit card can then be redeemed for anything from a kitchen appliance to a tropical vacation. You’re looking at a lifetime of average consumer use to build up enough points for the latter option.

It’s little wonder the lure of a $500 gadget is so appealing to Canadians, when two or even six decades of banking loyalty adds up to little more than a friendlier smile at your home branch.

Banks are terrible at proactively contacting loyal customers and even worse at offering incentives to stay. Ten years with RBC? We’ll waive your banking fees for the next six months. Half a century with TD? Pick a weekend getaway on us. One can dream.

Unlike most grocery rewards programs, banking rewards points require the use of a credit card.

The added benefit of most of those credit cards is a separate travel rewards program, where points can be redeemed for discounted flights (or in other cases, free coffee and donuts). Often the taxes and fuel surcharges are so excessive on flights that those flight points equate to only a few hundred dollars off the price of a $1,000 ticket.

So who’s really benefiting from customer loyalty at the big banks in Canada? Mostly the shareholders and senior executives. Canadian banks are among the most stable investments in the world, thanks in part to good federal policies but also because Canadians are so complacent when being charged for everything from retaining a chequing account to the privilege of using a credit card.

Customers in the U.K. don’t have to put up with a fee for using ATMs at competing banks. Free basic chequing accounts abound online and at many credit unions across Canada.

So next time you’re at the bank, don’t be afraid to ask: But what have you done for me lately? If they’re dismissive, jump ship and show them the consequence of a lack of proactive customer loyalty incentives.

Re: New B.C. Liquor Store hurts private vendor, News (Jan. 14, 2015)

B.C.’s public liquor stores have served this province for decades. They continue to offer better selection and better prices than most private stores. They also pay higher wages and produce more revenue to pay for public services than private stores.

In order to compete, B.C.’s public liquor stores need to be open Sundays, offer

refrigerated products, and occasionally relocate stores to more popular shopping locations.

This is good for consumers, good for our members, and because of the revenues public stores produce, it is good for all British Columbians. We believe customers like having choices and competition which leads to better service overall.

Jet noise input ongoingRe: Rumbling jets a bother,

News (Jan. 23)I live near Oak Bay village and

we are experiencing the noise and vibration from the Whidbey Island Growler aircraft, too.

Take a look at the maps on washingtonenvironmental-protectioncoalition.org. The article says the noise or decibel rating can be up to 150 decibels which is very destructive to human hearing unless special noise earmuffs are worn.

Your newspaper article was

slightly wrong.Public comments regarding

environmental issues are being accepted by the US Air Force until Feb. 2. See website citizensofebeysreserve.com/blog for further details.

If I am trying to rest, the noise is very noticeable.

The “regular” takeoffs and landings can be very noticeable depending on the weather. The rumbling sounds like an earthquake when they are taking off.

Our Indigenous bands (especially Saanich peninsula and Sooke) and fishermen should be very concerned about our Orca and birds with these new tests.

They should be notified so they can have public input before the Feb. 2 deadline.

If the aircraft have no sound baffling, they need it above and beyond their exercises just south of us.

Re: Privacy watchdog launches spyware investigation, News (Jan. 23)

Are all employee work computers at Saanich Municipality loaded with Spector 360 monitoring ( spying ) software?

Does this include the municipal hall, municipal yard, engineering, police force and fire departments?

What was the initial cost of this monitoring software?

Does each work station require a “licence” from the software company?

What is the cost of each “license” and what is the total annual operating cost to the Saanich taxpayers for this “monitoring” program?

The old municipal council under Frank Leonard approved this expenditure? How many other municipalities in the Greater Victoria area use this kind of software to monitor council and employees?

Dan Ebenal/Black Press

Stephen Johnston, director of the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences at the University of Victoria, points out the subduction zone that lies just off the west coast of Vancouver Island.

The big one is loomingDan EbenalNews Staff

Three hundred and fifteen years and counting.

It was Jan. 26, 1700 when one of the world’s largest earth-quakes occurred off the west coast of Vancouver Island. The undersea Cascadia thrust fault ruptured along a 1,000-kilome-tre length, from mid-Vancouver Island to northern California, producing a megathrust earth-quake with an estimated magni-tude of 8.7.

“We know that these earth-quakes do occur in a cyclic fashion so there is going to be another megaquake,” said Ste-phen Johnston, director of the School of Earth and Ocean Sci-ences at the University of Vic-toria.

He said it’s impossible to accurately predict when the next megaquake will hit but they occur in cycles of between 300 and 700 years.

“What a lot of research is going into of late is trying to pin down whether it’s closer to 300 years, in which case we should start being concerned, or if it’s closer to 700 years, in which case we can relax a bit,” said Johnston.

The earthquake in 1700 col-lapsed houses of the Cowichan people on Vancouver Island and caused numerous landslides and a tsunami that swept across the Pacific, causing devastation in Japan. According to Natural Resources Canada, the shak-ing from the earthquake was so violent on Vancouver Island that people could not stand and lasted so long it made them sick. The tsunami completely destroyed the winter village of the Pachena Bay people, leaving no survivors.

Geological evidence indicates that there have been 13 mega-

quakes over the past 6,000 years. In contrast, the earthquake

that struck northeast of Tofino on Jan. 8 was a magnitude 4.8, the largest onshore quake to have hit the region since 2000.

Johnston said there’s a big difference between onshore quakes like the one that struck near Tofino and the megaquakes that occur offshore, typically at the subduction zone.

“Usually the ones offshore are hugely more powerful. For example, the 1700 megaquake was probably on the order of 35,000 times more powerful than that Tofino earthquake, so it’s an enormous difference in power.”

And it’s the offshore quakes that give rise to tsunamis, which are typically responsible for the greatest loss of life.

Johnston said the fault responsible for the 1700 quake lies about 100 kilometres west of Port Renfrew. “And that is the same fault that will rupture again and cause the next megaquake.”

The extent of the devasta-tion caused by that megaquake remains unclear.

“There would be a huge tsu-nami and Port Alberni and all the other West Coast towns would be at risk,” said Johnston. “I think it’s obvious Tofino, much of it, would be inundated. Shak-ing is going to be a problem and old buildings that are not seismi-cally upgraded.”

He said those living closer to the west coast will likely see more violent shaking but a lot of local issues will also come into play.

“If you’re built, and much of Victoria is built, on bedrock, then there won’t be such severe shak-ing. But if you’re built on recent sediments – think or regions around here where it’s very flat lying and muddy – those are lake beds that formed 10,000 years

ago and they will shake like a bowl of jelly.”

But Johnston said a smaller quake like the one that struck Tofino can prove to be just as deadly as a megaquake.

“That’s the bigger concern, not the megaquake but some-thing like the earthquake that took place near Tofino except maybe a little bit stronger than that.”

He pointed to the 6.3 magni-tude quake that rocked Christ-church, New Zealand in 2011, resulting in 185 deaths.

“People die in magnitude 4 earthquakes and they don’t die because of the shaking, they die because a wall falls on them or something like that.”

Very few earthquakes have been centred around Victoria. Johnston recalls a magnitude 2 quake hitting Langford a year or two ago, “but it was so tiny that even people standing right on top of it couldn’t feel it.”

He said the Nisqually earth-quake that struck south of Seat-tle in 2001 caused significant tremors felt in Victoria. The aftermath of that quake has left Victoria reasonably well pre-pared.

“We’ve had all of our public schools and a lot of the build-ings at UVic and downtown seis-mically upgraded since then because we did have a good shake and it gave us a little taste of what might come.”

Johnston said Island residents would be well-advised to have a plan in place in the event of a large earthquake but admits that’s not something he’s put a lot of thought into.

“It’s something that you can’t get out of your mind but at the same time we’re all pretty hap-pily living here and I’m not get-ting ready to move,” he said.

Home accessibility a growing industry Travis PatersonNews staff

Modern technology is helping seniors stay home longer, and business is booming.

Though the costs to install ceiling lifts, stair lifts, mobile lifts and other mobility assisting technologies in the home place are significant, there are plenty of arguments for it. For one, it’s often less than the cost of full time assisted living in a care home, says Corinne Kerr of Esquimalt’s Angel Accessi-bility Solutions.

“There’s a lot of research supporting the benefits of staying at home longer, and that’s what we offer. You retain your home and the proximity to friends. It’s easier on the family, promotes long term health and is easier on the health care system,” Kerr said.

George Szwender started Angel by sell-ing lifts out of his home in 1997, and today Angel Solutions is based out of a 12,000 square-foot showroom and warehouse

along the industrially zoned Viewfield Road. The store has 24 employees, including tech-nicians who install the lifts in customer homes. Angel has also opened up stores in Courtenay, Vancouver, Kelowna and Port-land, Ore. Last week, Angel was purchased by Prism Medical, a publicly traded (TSX Venture) ceiling-lift manufacturer for $3.6 million, as it moves into the retail side of the industry.

“Everything will stay the same,” said Angel Solutions chief operating officer Chris Swift. “We’re proud of our commitment to service. We’ll continue to have service tech-nicians available 24-7 for maintenance.”

Angel Solutions isn’t without it’s competi-tors, as other brands of stair and ceiling lifts are available.

On Jan. 16 Richmond-based HME Mobil-ity and Accessibility opened a store on Gov-ernment Street.

“We’ve been selling and installing sys-tems on the Island for years so now we’re here,” said HME’s Victoria manager Jessica Park.

While HME’s Victoria store is small in

comparison to Angel, it’s arrival shows the trend for electronic home mobility options is only growing. HME regularly sells and installs three stair lifts per day. Just as Angel has a diverse catalogue of home care solu-tions, such as easy access bath tubs, HME carries lift and recline chairs, hospital beds, walkers, wheelchairs, bathroom safety

items, and installs a lot of grab bars, as well as equipment rental.

On a straight staircase, stair lifts can be installed within a day of purchase. Curved stair lifts must be custom-ordered, and take three weeks to a month to arrive.

n the past I have been criti-cal of the provincial govern-ment’s preferred model for its new Office of the Seniors Advocate.

My concerns have been: Firstly, that the Advocate is a servant of the Health Minister and not the whole Legislature thus diminishing the office’s independence; and, that the Advocate does not have a mandate to investigate indi-vidual cases of elder abuse and hardship.

That said, the appointee, Victoria’s Isobel Mackenzie, seems determined to make her office as inclusive as possible and to bur-row down into some pressing issues.

This past month Mackenzie’s office started forming a council of advisors to be made up of seniors from around the prov-ince. In 2015 these seniors will bring “their diverse experience and perspective on seniors’ issues (and) bring forward issues and concerns and review projects, reports and recommendations developed by the Office of the Seniors Advocate.”

The council will meet four times a year and will consist of 25 to 30 members appointed for terms of one to three years. Seniors who would like to serve on the council were expected to apply by Dec. 18,

but I suspect there is still time to sign up.

To do that go to: seniorsadvo-catebc.ca/council-of-advisers.

As well in the New Year, Macken-zie will conduct a series of surveys designed to probe the quality and adequacy of services provided to seniors. The results will be pub-lished on the Advocate’s website.

The first will be an independent satisfaction survey for all publicly funded residential care facilities with the results posted by facility

so that seniors and their families will be able to see how the facilities in their com-munity compare with others in B.C.

Next there will be independent satisfac-tion survey for all publicly funded home support clients and users of HandyDART services.

Finally, the office will conduct a survey of waiting times and refusal rates for Shel-ter Aid for Elderly Renters (SAFER) appli-cations. This will allow the Advocate to ensure that B.C. Housing is continuing to meet the needs of seniors through this pro-gram.

“I’m going to ask the consumers directly what is working and what is not working,” Mackenzie says. She insists the findings will be “independent” from the provincial government and will be published.

“We’ve all read a rash of recent headlines and stories about how today’s seniors are rich, affluent and getting too much help from government,” she says. “I find them inflammatory, offensive and, most impor-tantly, they are wrong.”

Most seniors in B.C. live on less than $25,000 per year with 52,000 living on less than $17,000 per year, she says.

“We need to spare our seniors the indig-nity of begging for help.”

Mackenzie sure seems to be saying all the right things. I hope her voice continues to be strong enough to foster a culture of independence in her office that was absent in its founding.

While she may not have a mandate to require government to respond to seniors’ programs shortcomings revealed in these surveys, she certainly has made it clear she will make sure everyone shares her findings.

Advocate will make issues known

Community Spotlight: SENIORS

“...an independent satisfaction survey of publicly funded residential care facilities posted for all to see how the facilities in their community compare with others in B.C.”

Evidence shows seniors are more sus-ceptible to fraud in the morning. The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) says telephone scammers know this, and are exploiting Canadians with a new credit card phishing scam.

Daniel Williams, a senior call-taker at CFAC says the new phishing scam is targeting people in the early morning between 5 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. when they are sleepy and potentially vulnerable.

The scammer claims to be calling from the victims’ bank and says a credit card was used without authorization the pre-vious evening. Because of the early hour, the groggy victim will often volunteer information.

“The consumer lets them know who they bank with, then the suspects will read out the first few digits of the credit card which is standard for that bank and that credit card,” Williams says.

The scammers then ask the victim for the next eight digits to confirm their iden-tity. Once the scammers have the com-plete card number, they use the informa-tion to make purchases on the account. In actuality, Canadian banks are not in the habit of soliciting personal informa-tion by phone or by e-mail.

The CAFC warns that fraudsters also impersonate utility companies claiming to be collecting payment for overdue bills, saying the electric or gas bill must be paid immediately or the services will be shut off.

COMMUNITYNEWSIN BRIEF

Library boardappoints chair

The Greater Victoria Public Library announced its 2015 board of directors last Thursday (Jan. 22).

At the board’s inaugural meeting on Jan. 19, Oak Bay Coun. Kevin Murdoch was elected board chair, and Saanich citizen representative Anne Kirkaldy was elected vice-chair.

Other Saanich representatives include Greg Bunyan, Karen Potts, Donna Curtis and Coun. Dean Murdock.

In a statement, Murdoch said the GVPL board will develop a new strategic plan over the coming year.

Board members are tasked with balancing the budget while maintaining and increasing hundreds of programs and courses run throughout the year.

See the complete list of library board members online at www.gvpl.ca/about-us/library-board.

Hillside Centrehosts ocean talks

Hillside Centre is launching a series of presentations about the ocean ecosystems surrounding Vancouver Island.

Speakers for OceanTalks will use a 12-foot by seven-foot digital screen known as the OceanWall to showcase their work beginning today (Jan. 28) at 7 p.m.

Speakers include Kate Moran, presi-dent of Networks Canada, who will discuss the internet-connected ocean; Kristen Kanes, underwater acoustic analyst with Ocean Networks Canada; Brad Armstrong with Kelp Reef Adven-tures, who will discuss Seal Pups of Victoria; and Brett Soberg with Eagle Wing Tours, who will discuss the new-est resident Orca with the J-Pod, J50.

OceanTalks also take police Feb. 25 and March 25 at 7 p.m. at Hillside Centre.

Sewage groups vow partnershipKevin LairdBlack Press

A political stalemate at the Capital Regional Dis-trict over sewage treatment in the region will in the end benefit taxpayers, says Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins.

Desjardins co-chairs Westside Solutions, a group which has brought Esquimalt, Colwood, Langford, View Royal and Songhees Nation together to find a solution to building a sewage treatment plant in the region. Victoria, Saanich and Oak Bay are mov-ing to form a parallel committee on the east side of Greater Victoria. The committees are supported by the CRD and municipal staff to develop and evaluate sub-regional treatment options for their communities.

“This is a process of educating, and a process of engaging the public, and an understanding of what communities are looking and wanting,” Des-jardins said.

“We’re not yet proposing anything. We’re pro-viding overview information,” Desjardins said.

Saanich Coun. Vic Derman has pointed out that Saanich contributes 40 per cent of the total flow from MacCaulay Point on the west side. Managing separate east and west groups won’t be practical as the project develops, he said. Visit the CRD website at crd.bc.ca/project/wastewater-planning for more details.

Eyesight and safe drivingWhen we drive, we make most of our decisions

on the basis of visual cues: the position of other ve-hicles and pedestrians, traffic lights, signs, hazard warnings etc. Good vision is crucial to safe driving. Vision for driving involves more than the ability to read the letters on the eye chart (central vision): Peripheral vision, depth perception and colour vi-sion are all important factors which influence our judgment while driving. The Motor Vehicle Branch tests these visual skills when we first apply for a driver’s license. This screening is not a substitute for a full eye examination by a Doctor of Optometry who can prescribe corrective lenses or other treat-ment, if necessary, and evaluate the health of the eyes.

Our eyes change in subtle and gradual ways as we age. We may not realize our vision has gradu-ally deteriorated to a level that does not meet the legal and safe requirements for operating a motor vehicle. In many cases, the solution may be as simple as, new prescription lenses.

Glare is a common problem to most drivers when the sun is low in the sky ahead and when the road surface is wet and shiny. Sunglasses may help, along with cleaning your windshield. Another cause of glare may be cataracts, which can devel-op as we age. This cloudiness in the lenses of the eyes can cause an increase in sensitivity to light in the early stages. Your optometrist can advise you about tinted lenses to reduce glare and continue to counsel you as the cataracts develop.

Regular eye examinations determine if your vi-sion is good enough for safe driving. You owe it to yourself and everyone else on the road to make sure that you are seeing well and reacting to situa-tions as quickly as possible.

After losing to the Westshore Wolves 6-0 on Wednesday, Jan. 21, and tying the Nanaimo Buc-caneers 1-1 on Thursday, Jan. 22, the Saanich Braves salvaged their three game week with a 3-2 win over the Kerry Park Island-ers in VIJHL action Friday (Jan. 23) at Pearkes Arena in Saanich.

The win was a big one for the Braves. It not only erased the All Star Game hangover that saw the offence come up with just one goal in 130 minutes of hockey (that being from Nick Kean ver-sus Nanaimo), but it also added some distance between them-selves and the Islanders in the standings in what was a true “four point” game in the South Division.

With a win, the Islanders could have pulled within two points of the Braves for third. However, it was the Braves who jumped into a six point lead over the Island-ers for that spot.

The Braves never trailed Fri-day, holding leads of 1-0 and 2-0 at the respective intermissions

before the Islanders’ Kyle Green tallied early in the third to make it 2-1. The Braves upped their lead midway through the third to make it 3-1, before Green scored again to make it 3-2. The Island-ers pulled goaltender Leighton Williams late, but to no avail, as the Braves held on for the win.

Leading the way Friday for the Braves was forward Evan Horvath, who notched a pair of goals - his 12th and 13th of the season - including the game win-ner at 11:42 of the third, when he converted a beautiful cross-ice pass from Jack Rach-walski.

Horvath scored the first goal of the game when he put the Braves up 1-0 at the 15:11 mark of the first, capitalizing on a penalty to the Islanders David Bittner for tripping. He also had an assist on the Braves second goal which was scored by Rachwalski on the powerplay just 55 seconds into the second period.

Nick Kean, playing his first game against Kerry Park since being acquired by the Braves from the Islanders at the trading deadline, had an assist against his former team. Also drawing assists for the Braves on their goals were Seamus Maguire,

with two, and Hunter Atchison. Goalie Riley Mathieson

started for the Braves Friday and stopped 20 of 22 shots to earn his fifth win in his last five starts. Mathieson also played Wednesday in the loss to West-shore, coming in to relieve Bran-don Ward, stopping 10 of 13 over the final 35 minutes of that game.

Speaking of Ward, after his disastrous start against West-shore on Wednesday, he

rebounded nicely last Thursday against his

former team, stopping 40 of 41 Buccaneer

shots to salvage a single point for the Braves in the 1-1 tie. His efforts earned

him first star honours for that game.

With just six games to go in

the regular sea-son, the 15-21-1-5 Braves have enjoyed a few days off before they have to face the Victoria Cougars at Pearkes Arena this Friday, Jan. 30, with a 6:30 p.m. start.

They then travel to Oceanside on Saturday, Jan. 31 for a match against the Generals.

Vancouver Island Pro Wrestling returns to the Velox Rugby Club house Friday night.

After a lengthy break recovering from injury, the Lord’s Warrior Lak Siddartha will anchor the event with a revenge match against Eddy Osborne and his scoundrel of a manager, Father Juan Valdez.

Not to be trusted, Father Juan and Osborne ille-gally clubbed the Lord’s Warrior to within an inch of a career ending injury. Three months later, Sid-dartha has waged war on Father Juan Valdez.

The show will feature a long list of bouts, with the VIPW Tag Title contested between The Von

Slashers and their enemies, Billy Suede and Tony Baroni. Scott Steel will face Krofton in the first of a best of five series that will play out in 2015.

Also wrestling but with opponents still uncon-firmed is VIPW Champion BJ Laredo and Island favourites Ravenous Randy Myers, Danni Deeds and Kenny Lush.

Doors are at 7, first bell at 7:30 p.m., Friday, Jan. 30, 3957 Gordon Head Rd.

Tickets available at Dragon Impact martial arts equipment and supplies, 746 Yates St. $10 in advance and $15 at the door. Kids 5-and-under are free. A separated beer garden is available for ages 19 and older with ID.
