Wright stuff

The

Behind his desk, Bob Wright wears a white dress shirt

and black suit jacket with “the company uniform” – blue jeans. “I don’t want to sit around in a tie all day,” he says gruffly, flicking the open collar of his shirt. At nearly 81 years old, Wright is in his office every day, keeping a sharp eye on his business.

Next week though, he will be in Ottawa being inducted into the Canadian Tourism Hall of Fame.

A poor sound sys-tem forced the Oak Bay Lodge discussion to be postponed another week.

With close to 200 people crowding the council chamber on Monday, and those near the back of the overflow area unable to hear the discussion, Mayor Christopher Causton made the deci-sion to postpone.

The meeting will reconvene at 7 p.m. Nov. 21 at the Monterey Recreation Centre, 1442 Monterey Ave. – two days after the municipal election.

The Vancouver Island Health Author-ity and Baptist Hous-ing want to demolish the Lodge and build a 320-bed, six-storey facility for seniors with dementia who require complex care.

In order to move forward they need a variance to reduce the number of parking spaces from 320 to 107, as well as a variance for height.

Baptist Housing CEO Howard Johnson told council they arranged financing for the proj-ect in early 2009. How-ever, the lender has indicated it is unable to hold the funds aside after Dec. [email protected]

Christmas light-up approachesLaura LavinNews staff

Oak Bay is the place to be for Christmas with events and special Christmas activities taking place throughout the season. Kicking off the celebration on Nov. 27 is the eleventh annual Oak Bay Christmas Festival light-up.

Thousands of LED lights, decorations and giant wreaths adorn buildings, trees and lamp posts along Oak Bay Avenue. The lights come on Sunday, Nov. 27 with family entertainment, giant games and magical fun.

“It’s gone through few a evolutions,” said Heather Leary, project manager. “It started with a variety show and grew bigger, so we hired a band to play, then it grew in scope again. It’s been really good – the community loves the event. One year we had to postpone because of snow and people could not wait.”

Leary said atten-dance has grown in recent years as more and more families are moving into the area.

Musical entertain-ment includes Dan-iel Lapp, Oliver Swain and Celtic guitarist Quinn Bachand with an old-time Appalachian Christmas concert, the Joy of Life Choir and the B.C. Fiddle Orchestra. Visitors can get an up-close and personal look at Galey Farms’ 80-foot long parade float and don’t forget to bring your Christmas wish list as Canada Post will be there with its deco-rated van collecting let-ters to Santa.

Lights come on at 5 p.m. to start the Christ-

mas festival and Santa arrives shortly after on an Oak Bay fire truck to welcome one and all and share a Christmas greeting, then Oak Bay’s town crier will pronounce the Christmas

Festival officially underway. After, you can get a photo with Santa at Athlone travel, by dona-tion to next year’s Tour de Rock team or enjoy a snack of roasted chestnuts.

Musical selections will be lively, ranging from Southern spiritual to bluegrass to banjo and fiddle solos. There will also be a selection of Christmas favourites including the 12 Days of Christmas with onstage host Bill Murphy-Dyson. This upbeat concert features a range of

music including, banjo and fiddle, and favou-rite Christmas tunes.

The entertainment gets started at 3 p.m. with the light-up countdown just before 5 p.m. at the stage on Oak Bay Avenue and Hamp-shire Road.

The lights and festivities will shine on until the first week of January. For more information go to visitoakbayvillage.ca.

Get ready to mark your ballot.

Voters in Oak Bay head to the polls tomor-row (Nov. 19) from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. to vote for one mayor, up to six councillors, and up to nine school trustees

To vote, you must be 18 years or older on general voting day; you must be a Cana-dian citizen; you must have resided in British Columbia for at least six months immediately prior to general voting day and you must have been a resident of Oak Bay for at least 30 days immediately prior to general voting day.

The question of resi-dence can be an inter-esting one in a munici-pality which, like Oak Bay, is home to a major post-secondary edu-cational institution. If you are from out of town and are a student attending the University of Victoria, for example, you can choose either your normal home or

the home that you have established in order to attend that institution as your “residence” for the purpose of the vot-ing eligibility rules.

The university stu-dent situation is an exception to the nor-mal residence rule. By and large, you are a res-ident of the area where you live and to which, whenever absent, you intend to return. You do not cease being a resident of an area by leaving it for temporary purposes only. And, for the purpose of voting eligibility, you can be the resident of only one area at a time.

If you are not on the voters’ list, you can reg-ister on election day by producing at least two documents that pro-vide evidence of your identity and place of residence, at least one of which must contain your signature; or pro-duce to the election official at least two documents that pro-vide evidence of your identity, at least one of which must contain your signature, and make a solemn declara-tion as to your place of [email protected]

Bob Wright honoured for his achievementsLaura LavinNews staff

Bob Wright began his working life in the newspaper industry. He moved through circulation to advertising and editorial at the Edmonton Bulletin, for the hefty sum of $65 a month. When the paper was bought by a competitor and closed, Wright’s boss transferred to the Times in Victoria. “I didn’t know where Victoria was,” said Wright. “He knew I liked the out-doors, hunting and fishing so he lured me out to work here. The first dozen times I went fishing I was skunked. After a while I became a reasonably good fish-erman.”

His love of the outdoors and fishing led him to start a fishing charter business, now the Oak Bay Marine Group of Companies which includes 25 businesses in Victoria, the U.S. and the Bahamas.

Wright’s office at the Oak Bay Marina con-tains a collection of memorabilia from a career that now spans six decades. A shelf across from his desk is a hodge-podge of photos, awards, scrapbooks and memen-

toes, including an honorary doctorate of laws from the University of Victoria. The desk itself is covered with an array of papers, knick-knacks and photographs, most of which include fish. What you won’t find on Wright’s desk is a computer; he doesn’t carry a cellphone either. “At my age, I don’t have time to figure out that stuff,” he said.

Wright’s businesses cover a variety of aspects of the hospitality industry includ-ing hotels, resorts, eco- and adventure-tour-

ism, spas, restaurants, camp-grounds, marinas and of course, sport fishing.

“The success of the sport fish-ing industry in British Columbia which attracts thousands of tour-ists each year is due in no small part to the vision, passion, and tenacity that Mr. Wright demon-strates each and every day of his life,” said the Canadian Tourism Hall of Fame in a press release.

Wright was one of the first commission-ers for Canada on the Pacific Salmon Treaty; he earned the gold trophy marketing award from Industry, Science and Technology Can-ada for business excellence; the B.C. Ambas-sador for Tourism award and the Leader-ship award from the B.C. Marine Trades Association, among numerous others.

“I spent six years (as alderman) with the city of Victoria and did the Chinatown Gates

of Harmonious Interest. That was my baby,” he said.

Wright built Sealand in Oak Bay in 1980. The attraction was a huge success.

“When I started it the Canadian govern-ment was sending out these fisheries guys with machine guns to Estevan Point, north of Campbell River, to kill the killer whales coming down because the commercial fisheries said they were wrecking their nets. I was going snake over that.”

Controversy over the captivity of whales, along with the death of a part-time trainer led to Sealand’s clo-sure in 1991. Kelti Byrne, 20, a UVic marine biology student, fell into the whale pool after a show. The orcas dragged and submerged her until she drowned, despite rescue efforts by other trainers. Wright remembers her as “a beautiful young lady.”

Byrne’s death aside, he doesn’t regret opening Sealand of the Pacific.

His experience with the mammals eventually led him to donate $11 mil-lion to UVic for scientific research on climate change and the creation of the Bob Wright Centre for Ocean, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences.

The Canadian Tourism Hall of Fame recognizes individuals whose actions have had a positive impact

on the industry they serve. Wright will be honoured at the Hall of Fame luncheon in Ottawa on Nov. 23 along with another local, Rod Harris, former president and CEO of Tourism British Columbia.

Police hope proposed legislation deters theftRyan FlahertyNews staff

Saanich Police are hoping that new legis-lation proposed by the provincial government will help curb a grow-ing criminal problem in the Capital Region.

Metal thefts are on the rise, thanks in part to the high value of materials such as cop-per and aluminum. Phone lines, which are made with copper wire, are among the more popular targets, but increasingly police are seeing other mate-rials being taken.

“We saw one case where there was a break-in and a number of brass fittings were stolen,” said Saan-ich police Sgt. Dean Jantzen. “That’s exactly the type of thing this legislation could help deal with.”

Saanich police have handled 15 cases this year in which metal products were the pri-mary target. That’s up from five a year ago.

The problem with metal thefts, said Jantzen, is that they can create a nuisance -- and potentially a serious risk -- for the

general public. When phone lines are dam-aged by thieves, for example, communi-cation systems are compromised, cutting people off from vital emergency services.

“When lines go down, 911 goes down,” said Jantzen. “If all you have is a house phone, you can’t dial 911.”

Under Bill 13, the Metal Dealers and Recyclers Act, scrap dealers will have to keep records of the type and weight of metals they purchase, any distinguishing marks, and where the seller says they got it. That information is to be shared with law enforcement on a daily basis, and the records are to be kept for at least one year.

Dealers will also be required to maintain a registry of sellers’ personal informa-tion, including their

name, address, phone number and date of birth. To protect their privacy, sellers will be assigned a unique

code. The only way their personal info will be released to police is with a court [email protected]


For those interested in giving their Christ-mas decorating a nauti-cal twist this year, the Maritime Museum of B.C. is hosting a nau-tical wreath-making workshop.

The classes happen this Saturday and Sun-day (Nov. 19 and 20) and Nov. 27 and 27. All classes are from 1 to 5 p.m.

People are encour-aged to bring decora-tions they wish to add, and a pair of gardening gloves. To register, call 250-385-4222 ext. [email protected]

Christmas comes Thursday.Yes, Christmas; I don’t celebrate

Kwanzaa (Dec. 26) or Hanukkah (first day is Dec. 21) though both sound full of fun and tradition.

Each year my twitchy fingers await the fourth Thursday in November, when decorations offi-cially make an appear-ance in my hometown. It’s a personal rule born of growing up in Ladys-mith, where Santa flicks the switch on the Festi-val of Lights each year on B.C. Hydro’s favourite eve. My memory is of parades filling the streets and our family bakery crammed with people searching for hot sausage rolls, bags of decked-out gingerbread men and the perfect glazed doughnut/coffee combination to share while walking the streets under the glare of a mil-lion lights.

I like the bling. Why pretend?It’s pretty, festive and uplifting.The traditional breakfast with

Santa, and there are several around Greater Victoria, is magical, filled with brilliant smiles. Lighted parades are an excuse to bundle up and hang out with friends and neighbourhood kids.

I search out the perfect gift for the right person, whether it costs $1 or $20, and wrap them each with care to fill the bare spot under my tree before the big day.

I pull out the ornaments in prepa-ration and they flood me with mem-

pretends (because it’s miss-ing a section of track) to run ’round my tree.

But it’s the bling of the heart that really matters.

While living in Port Hardy I had the fortune to be part of the award-winning North Island Gazette Ham-per Fund. For 31 years the fund has provided those in need with a traditional Christmas dinner and pres-ents for the children. The newspaper, with the help

of non-profit groups on the North Island, organizes, gathers and alongside other volunteers, creates Christmas – delivered.

It’s not an easy economic time anywhere. Last year, hamper fund organizers had to drop the age for kids’ gifts from 16 to 12, and cut the amount of potatoes handed out in half, to five pounds.

On the South Island, the Mustard Seed food bank had to take out a collateral mortgage to make ends meet. And as the Sidney Lions food bank moves into its new municipal building in Iroquois Park, it’s seeing a spike in users – again.

Even as people are stretching bud-gets, I see generous people walk into the Peninsula News Review office in Sidney.

There’s the North Saanich woman who discovered a bin full of coins

after her husband died. Unable to move it, she brings in bagfuls each year for the newspaper’s Coins for Kids campaign. The coin drive is popular among parents seeking to teach youngsters the value of giving to kids who might not get Christmas otherwise.

For years our paper’s charity of choice has been the Kiwanis Toy Drive. It’s never difficult to get a pic-ture of a cute kid dumping pennies and dimes into one of our jars.

The News Review and Gazettearen’t alone. Black Press commu-nity newspapers across Vancouver Island climb on board different coin-collecting fundraisers and turn over the cash raised to local causes.

Last year, more than $12,000 was generated by businesses, school-children and readers of the Victoria News, Saanich News, Oak Bay News and Goldstream News Gazette. At the News Review, the community con-tributed $2,639.30, just shy of the 2009 Coins for Kids total.

That’s impressive bling. But still I look forward to meeting Santa for breakfast at the Shoal Centre on Nov. 26, and watching sparkly floats come parade Beacon Avenue on Dec. 3. I anticipate the gap-toothed grins of children offering hard-earned quar-ters to their less-fortunate counter-parts.

By then I’ll have stopped sitting on my hands to keep away from the trunk where Christmas sits stored all year ’round.Christine van Reeuwyk writes for the

OUR VIEW

Bling time kicks off the giving season

‘I pull out the ornaments in preparation and they flood me with memories.’

Think your vote doesn’t matter?

There has been a lot written and said about why every citizen old enough to vote needs to make an effort to go to the polls.

One quote that gets to the point is from the late American author David Foster Wallace who said, “In reality, there is no such thing as not voting: you either vote by voting, or you vote by staying home and tacitly doubling the value of some diehard’s vote.”

This is especially true when it comes to our civic elections where a notoriously low voter turnout and the preponderance of special-interest groups can make or break many candidates’ chances on election day.

For those who do make the effort to take a few minutes out of their Saturday to exercise a fundamental democratic right, there’s plenty of reasons to await the outcome of tomorrow’s elections.

From legitimate races for leadership of our communities to the chance to send a message about rising tax levels, voters can find any number of issues to get them fired up enough to want to go to the polls.

Are you happy with municipal spending increasing faster than most workers’ wages?

Do you think local government is doing enough to help those in our community who are struggling to make ends meet?

Are you concerned about the direction your board of education wants to be taking the school system in your community?

There are many candidates championing ideas to make where we live an even better place. Find someone you agree with and support them with your vote. Even if you don’t fill out an entire ballot, you are still entitled to have your small say.

If you feel like you’re not well enough informed about who is running, take 30 minutes to learn more.

Over the last several editions we have been running stories and profiles to help voters understand which candidates speak for them.

These resources are readily available online under the Election tab at oakbaynews.com.

Whether or not you take the time to vote, your choice will help shape the future of our community.

Christmas comes Thursday.Yes, Christmas; I don’t celebrate

Kwanzaa (Dec. 26) or Hanukkah (first day is Dec. 21) though both sound full of fun and tradition.

Each year my twitchy fingers await the fourth Thursday in November, when decorations offi-cially make an appear-ance in my hometown. It’s a personal rule born of growing up in Ladys-mith, where Santa flicks the switch on the Festi-val of Lights each year on B.C. Hydro’s favourite eve. My memory is of parades filling the streets and our family bakery crammed with people searching for hot sausage rolls, bags of decked-out gingerbread men and the perfect glazed doughnut/coffee combination to share while walking the streets under the glare of a mil-lion lights.

I like the bling. Why pretend?It’s pretty, festive and uplifting.The traditional breakfast with

Santa, and there are several around Greater Victoria, is magical, filled with brilliant smiles. Lighted parades are an excuse to bundle up and hang out with friends and neighbourhood kids.

I search out the perfect gift for the right person, whether it costs $1 or $20, and wrap them each with care to fill the bare spot under my tree before the big day.

I pull out the ornaments in prepa-ration and they flood me with mem-

ories: dough ornaments my mom made during the lean years of my childhood, the paper trees glued together in elementary school, and the colourful second-hand train that

pretends (because it’s miss-ing a section of track) to run ’round my tree.

OPINIONVICTORIA NEWS - Friday, Nov. 18, 2011 www.vicnews.com • A9

Mark MuldoonGuest comment

On a particular night in February, the Greater Victoria Coalition to End Homelessness, with the help of other agencies, conducted a facility count. They found 1,143 people being sheltered throughout the city. More than 10 per cent of this number was comprised of youths.

The numbers did not include those who were sleeping outdoors, couch surfing or living in an inadequate accommodation.

While the results remind us that homelessness and near-homelessness are still key issues in our community, they should also remind us that it is a mistake to identify the homeless problem of Victoria only with those we see wandering the streets or sleeping in doorways.

The visible street population is only the tip of the iceberg of hundreds of youths, single adults and families who are insecurely, inappropriately, or hardly housed at all.

The lack of affordable rental units, the obscene cost of hydro and the lack of a living wage lock hundreds of youths and adults into an unstable and transitory living situation.

Understandably, many voters resent the sight of homeless people and demand that someone – anyone – clean up the streets. Consequently, the city has been trying to respond to this resentment by slowly policing the visible homeless out of sight.

In the meantime, many people who work with the homeless and near-homeless agree that housing this growing population, and preventing it from happening, is achievable with the right policies. What is lacking is the public will to demand that governments act in a way that looks for long-term solutions to the problem.

Unfortunately, while we decry the sight of the homeless, few if any voters are outraged enough to make it a political issue.

Why? Human nature being what it is, we hate

being in the presence of those who, through

no fault of their own, are jobless, near-homeless and generally down on their luck.

The presence of marginalized youth, men and women standing in front of a welfare office evokes deep fears in each of us about our own vulnerability and weakness.

All these fears and feelings of vulnerability get projected onto those who – all too often with legitimate reasons – need help to avoid being homeless.

Instead of accepting our own vulnerability and responding with integrity, we prefer to believe the homeless and near-homeless choose to be a blight on our city. We say they are lazy, drunk, stupid, ignorant folks who won’t hold down a job.

The coalition has been working tirelessly to identify and formulate recommendations that will turn off the tap to the circumstances that feed homelessness. Its vision is to prevent homelessness from re-occurring through long-term policies that treat people in a dignified and principled way.

However, without the public will to demand that governments invest in long-term solutions, such recommendations will not be taken seriously.

In the end, we have to stop blaming the homeless and near-homeless for their plight and begin to act like mature citizens who care.

Currently, the province and the Capital Regional District have among the highest poverty rates in the country. Behind the contingent of visible homeless on the street, there is a larger number of youths, individuals and families on the cusp of becoming homeless. Both populations must be addressed.

In the coming civic elections, voters must raise a loud and audible cry, demanding that local politicians invest in long-term policies, and financial commitments and forge structures that eventually work to prevent people from joining the ranks of the homeless and near-homeless.

Mark Muldoon is executive director of the Threshold Housing Society.

To end homelessness, stop hating the homeless

Readers respond: Occupy movement, election, lifestyles and deer

Media missing Occupy’s story

I am getting very frustrated by the way the media have been focusing on the Occupy movements recently.

They have been so negative, focusing solely on the struggles protesters are having with politicians who wish to remove them from public spaces.

Have we forgotten the reason these movements are there in the first place?

The visual representation of their tents in such prominent public spaces should be a constant reminder to politicians, the public, as well as the media, and should serve to provoke discussions around their calls for shortening the gaps between the rich and the poor.

The media should start honing in on the reasons these Occupy movements have sprung up. Perhaps the media should focus their attention on: 1) discovering the individual stories of the

people who are living in their tents downtown; 2) putting pressure on the politicians to become accountable to the increasing gaps between rich and poor; 3) researching ways to get ourselves out of this mess.

I say, keep the tents downtown, allow people to skate around them and get lively debates going so all 100 per cent of us can come up with a way to make sure our great country truly allows equal opportunity for one and all.

This weekend, vote for health-care champions

There are champions in our midst.

More than 160 municipal candidates across B.C. have pledged to help strengthen and expand public health-care services in their communities if elected in this week’s elections – twice as many as those who

pledged in the 2008 elections.Why the dramatic jump

in health care-concerned candidates? The restructuring of home and community care, the future of medicare, the upcoming renegotiation of the Federal-Provincial Health Accord and the resulting effects on municipal social and economic infrastructure are all important issues for municipalities.

I encourage all voters to consider electing candidates who have pledged to speak out for public health care when they go to the polls this week – view the B.C. Health Coalition’s public list of candidates who have taken the Public Health Care Champion pledge on our website.

Not voting akin todishonouring war heroes

A municipal election will be

held tomorrow (Nov. 19). Are we going to have the same turnout as in Victoria’s Johnson Street bridge referendum last year, when only 26 per cent voted while 74 per cent twiddled their thumbs?

This past week we observed Remembrance Day, in honour of the people who fought for democracy and for our right to self-determination.

I hope there will be 100 per cent voter turnout this time. If not, we would be once again dishonouring those who gave up their lives to preserve our democratic rights. Please vote.

Gas guzzlersare optional

Consumer greed has padded the pockets of banks and corporations

We live in a generation of buy now, pay later – paying exorbitant interest rates for

goods to supply a lifestyle we cannot afford.

If today’s families wish to live beyond their means, don’t blame the government, corporations or the baby boomers. If you can’t afford the gas, don’t buy a gas guzzler!

Slow down for deeron local roadways

I want to spearhead a new convention in the driving community: when a driver encounters deer on or near the roadway, slow down to 30 km/h and put on the hazard lights to warn other drivers of the presence of the animals.

Slowing down would reduce the chances of a collision with an animal and would reduce insurance claims.

Better communication among drivers can’t hurt either.

The Victoria-based sailing cruise company Maple Leaf Adventures has taken one of the world’s three top awards for marine environment tour-ism.

Specializing in taking explorers on cruises of the Pacific Northwest, it won the award at the recent 2011 Responsible Tourism Awards in Lon-don, U.K. Maple Leaf was selected from thousands of nominations worldwide.

The international awards recognize tour operators that preserve, respect and benefit their destinations’ cul-tures, communities and biodiversity and, in the process, inspire positive change in the tourism industry.

Maple Leaf, which has offered natural and cultural history cruises aboard a classic tall ship since 1986, donates one per cent of all cruise rev-enues to conservation projects.

A co-founder of the Commercial Bear Viewing Association of B.C. that promotes and teaches responsible bear viewing practices, the company also hosts naturalists and environ-mental researchers to teach custom-ers about coastal and ocean ecosys-tems.

Editors of National Geographic Adventure rank Maple Leaf as one of the best adventure travel companies on the planet.

Furtado, Foster in town for Mount Doug IdolNatalie NorthNews staff

Two of Victoria’s best-known musical talents return to their home-

town this weekend to judge the city’s latest singing competition with the chance of welcom-ing its next superstar.

Producer David Fos-

ter and artist Nelly Fur-tado, both alumni of Mount Douglas second-ary school, are back as celebrity judges for Mount Doug Idol. The

talent show is the cul-mination of nine days of events hosted by the Mount Doug Alumni Association in honour of the school’s 80th anni-

versary. More than 100 alumni – many living in other areas of Canada or the U.S. – applied in Sep-tember to take part in the competition. A panel

of local judges narrowed the field to 15 semi-final-ists and then down to five finalists on Nov. 2 at the Spectrum Commu-nity school theatre.

Justin Hewitt and Kale Penny of Victoria, Joni Anderson of White Rock, Amanda Wood of Vancouver and Cristine Seeber of California are now vying for the top spot.

“We’re all so proud of coming from Mount Doug,” said Foster in an earlier interview with the News. “It’s a pact, it’s a bond that we share. I’m super proud to be a Canadian and to be from Victoria. I tout Victoria everywhere I go.”

On Saturday, alumni ranging in age and musi-cal genre from teen to senior, and from opera to country will perform at the University of Vic-toria’s Farquhar Audito-rium. Furtado and Fos-ter, honorary president of the alumni associa-tion, will take the stage as well as participate in a pre-event social.

While there is no promise that the winner will get a record deal from the multi-Grammy award-winning pro-ducer, Wendy Gedney, co-chair of the anniver-sary celebrations, said the top vocalist will be rewarded with a trip from Air Canada and prizes from Tom Lee Music.

“The purpose of the Idol is to showcase tal-ent of the alumni and the bonus is we have David Foster and Nelly Furtado to help us with that because they’re both from Mount Doug and they’ll be playing a little bit and doing their little bit,” Gedney said. “It’s not the David and Nelly show. It’s about Mount Doug. (Foster) wants it that way and so do we.”

The competition was open to past and pres-ent staff and students of Mount Doug and its feeder schools. The chil-dren and grandchildren of former staff and stu-dents could also apply.

“There’s a huge chance that we could find something great,” Foster said.

A sports social, high-lighting Mount Doug’s athletics history, will run from 3 to 6 p.m. at the adjacent Mount Doug campus, 3970 Gor-don Head Rd.

Tickets to the Idol show, the pre-event reception with Foster and Furtado, as well as the sports social can be purchased through w w w. m o u n t d o u g a [email protected]

Six seasons of love sung en français Erin McCrackenNews staff

Four seasons are apparently not enough when it comes to expressing love.

That is one of the messages Emman-uel Hérique will deliver through the production of his third French cabaret in Victoria on Thursday at the Leon-ardo Da Vinci Centre in Vic West.

With so many French songs to draw from for the show, the Six Seasons of Love, Hérique and his cast decided to take the audience on an extended journey through spring, summer, fall, winter and another spring and sum-mer.

“We decided after several rehears-als that love cannot end on a winter. It’s a different story, so we gave it six seasons,” Hérique says. “It’s the nature of love … love with someone or for something. You want to portray a cycle.”

Having produced two previous cabarets in 2007 and 2009 in Victoria, Hérique says this event has become

an important part of the roster of French events that celebrate a culture dating back to Victoria’s early days.

The shows have proven popular with francophones, whose first lan-guage is French, and francophiles, who are anglophones who enjoy expe-riencing French culture.

The cabaret, says Hérique, fills a niche in Greater Victoria, where an estimated 7,000 Francophones and 30,000 Francophiles live, according to the Société Francophone de Victoria.

Hérique puts on his shows to share French culture with a wider audi-ence in order to educate and increase understanding between cultures. The cash-bar event will feature dancing, and spectators are invited to sing along to lyrics projected on the wall.

“It’s French for all. It breaks down barriers. It sounds trite but it’s true,” says Hérique, a linguist who can speak six languages and is a professor of French at the University of Victoria. “I think culture makes people melt and it brings people together, and it’s not a bad thing in this world.”

The cabaret lineup includes Saan-ich singer/actor Cam Culham, Saanich singer and guitarist Réjean Bussières, Vancouver comedian and accordion

player François Laberge, Victoria vocalist Val Vanille and Saanich singer/actor Stéphanie Geehan. They will per-form songs from Quebec and France.

“It’s a gorgeous repertoire, all these songs in the French repertoire, from the ‘50s, ‘60s, ‘70s,” says Hérique, who is originally from France. “There’s a tradition in the French culture that’s absolutely stunning, and I think people are sensitive to that, and deep down, that’s why I do it.”

Ex-priest signs book about leaving church

A Victoria author whose book rose to the No. 1 spot on Ama-zon.com’s spiritual books rank-ing is hosting a book signing.

Former Catholic priest John Shields shed his religion and wrote the tale of why he rede-fined his spiritual beliefs, in The Priest Who Left his Religion: In Pursuit of Cosmic Spirituality.

When the church updated its stance on some policies, Shields writes that he realized its past teachings were incorrect, after all.

Shields will sign copies of this first book at the Church of Truth, 111 Superior St. tomorrow (Nov. 19) from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m.

ARTS LISTINGSIN BRIEF


Jennifer BlythBlack Press

A room with a view? Make that rooms with a view at Swallows Landing, one of Victoria’s premiere waterfront res-

idential projects.While the project is virtually sold out,

buyers looking for that little piece of water-front luxury are in for a treat.

Topping the second of two nine-storey towers is a 4,150-square-foot penthouse with drop-dead gorgeous views enjoyed either from the 2,900-square-foot deck or through expansive fl oor-to-ceiling windows.

The best part? The suite is roughed in with in-fl oor radiant heat, a gas fi replace, gas bar-becue and all the essentials, but fi nishings are all up to you. Due to the project being in receivership since the recent economic downturn, the last penthouse has been re-duced in price and is being sold “unfi nished” to allow buyers to truly customize the space as they envision.

And what a space! Panoramic views span from the West Bay Marina and the Olympic Mountains right around to the Inner Har-bour and downtown, notes MacDonald Re-

alty Victoria’s Connie Brown, who has been involved with the project since its inception in 2004.

With 10-foot ceilings and a lay-out designed for privacy between living areas, the three-bedroom-with-a-den features a west-facing master suite, walk-in closet and like the other Swallows Landing suites, enjoys a break on strata fees com-pared to similar properties, thanks to several strata-owned guest suites that generate some revenue for the building.

Beneath this penthouse is an eighth-fl oor sub-penthouse, just as striking as its ninth-fl oor neighbour, with vaulted ceiling and more than 3,200 sq. ft. of space. Also unfi n-ished, and awaiting that designer’s eye, the two-bedroom-plus-den enjoys incredible views and a separate workshop area – plus a recent price reduction.

The Swallows Landing project, by Man-dalay Developments, offered a number of unique features in its two buildings in Es-quimalt, including a protected Garry oak meadow at the foot of the property, donated to the Land Conservancy.

Winner of both the Judges’ Choice Award and an Excellence Award in the condo-minium category from the Greater Victoria Commercial Building Awards, the buildings were designed to maximize the views while offering excellent fi nishings and room for living, both inside and out. Not only home to Brown herself, the project’s builder has also called Swallows Landing home since its construction. “It offers some of the best south-facing waterfront with Inner Harbour and mountain views,” notes Brown, adding the proximity to downtown also means a short walk along the water to the amenities of town.

Queen Alexandra and the Bay teaming up for Jeneece Place

The eighth fl oor is also home to a brand new, fi n-ished, 2,000-sq. ft. “sub-penthouse.” The two-bed, two-bath suite offers spectacular southwest views and beautiful interior details, from its elegant kitchen and feature glass wall between the master and dining room to the luxurious ensuite and contemporary living room feature with gas fi replace, space for a fl atscreen and hand-chiseled granite detail. Underfoot is white maple engineered fl oor in the main living areas with travertine fl oors and walls in the bathroom, outfi tted with a stand-alone pedestal tub and adjacent walk-in shower.

Three new suites in one of the city’s most sought-after buildings: “I virtually pinch myself every morning when I wake up and look at my view,” Brown says. “The people who already live here, love it.”

Vancouver Island’s three Bay stores have donated $4,000 worth of pots and pans for the kitchen at Jeneece Place and now invite the community to shop in support as well.

The Queen Alexandra Foundation for Children has partnered with local Bay stores to support Jeneece Place from now until Jan. 15. Various household items have been registered on The Bay Gift Registry. Individuals can visit one of these three stores to pick out something to give to Jeneece Place, such as dishes, fl atware, small appliances and ironing boards. Can’t decide? Donate a gift card of any denomination.

Supporters may also shop online by visiting Hbc.com and clicking on the National Gift Registry. Enter “Jeneece”

for the fi rst name and “Place” for the last name and select “special occasion.” Next, choose the store you’d like to shop at and fi nd a list of everything needed to make Jeneece Place a home, with items starting at $5.99. Charitable tax receipts will be issued for the value of the dona-tion. Alternatively, donate Hbc points to Queen Alexandra in support of Jeneece Place by visiting any Bay location. (Tax receipts cannot be issued for the dona-tion of points.)

A project of the Queen Alexandra Foundation for Children, Jeneece Place is a home away from home on the grounds of the Victoria General Hospi-tal for families travelling to Victoria for medical care. For details about Jeneece Place, visit www.queenalexandra.org

Society may look down its nose at teen parents, but they’re the ones running the show at the Young Parents Support Network.

“We have a board of directors who are current or past participants, as well as young parents who are very tuned into what the parents we work with want as programs,” said Young Parents Support Network program co-ordinator Margo d’Archangelo.

The Young Parents Support Network, a small, non-profit group that has helped young parent families around Greater Victoria since 1994, offers support to parents between the ages of 13 and 29. It assists with family support, prenatal outreach, parenting education, a naturopath clinic, a free store, a workout group and more.

The group serves 170 families; participants choose the programs that are most suited to their needs.

“A large portion of the population we serve are in tricky economic situations,” said d’Archangelo. “A large portion of

them are also well below what is considered to be low income.”

The Young Parents Support Network provides group, one-on-one and in-home services to young parent families. “It’s open to everybody. You can still be

really isolated even if you’re (not low income),” she said.

The Young Parents Support Network is there to help young parents cope with one of the biggest challenges in life – raising kids.

“The youngest of the young parents use the service most intensely,” d’Archangelo said. “They cycle through, then things become more stable and they become more committed to give back to the community.”

The organization is funded entirely by donations including those that come through the United Way, the Victoria Foundation and the Community Action Program for Children.

“We’re really respectful, and therefore really responsible, to the population we work with. We’re right here listening to their needs. Sometimes a program that’s really needed doesn’t get to continue because there’s no funding,” d’Archangelo said.

This year Black Press’ Pennies

for Presents fundraiser will help five organizations including the Young Parents Support Network, the Mary Manning Centre, Threshold Housing Society, Victoria READ Society and suicide prevention group, NEED2.

Pennies for Presents has raised about $618,000 for local charities since the campaign’s inception 15 years ago.

Last year, more than $12,000 was generated by businesses, schoolchildren and readers of the Victoria News, Saanich News, Oak Bay News, Goldstream News Gazette and Monday Magazine.

For more than 100 years, the Lung Asso-ciation, Canada’s oldest charity, has been using the holiday-themed seals on their mail in order to both raise awareness of and funds for lung disease.

In the early days, the association battled tuberculosis.

Today the mission of the B.C. Lung Associa-tion is to promote lung health and clean air and support the grow-ing number of British Columbians struggling with breathing prob-lems including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer and sleep apnea.

“Christmas Seals are a very visible way of showing that people

care about the continu-ing fight against lung disease,” said Mike Ellis, B.C. Lung Associa-tion volunteer director for the Victoria region. “Our fundraising target for the 2011 campaign is $1 million.”

The money raised through donations to Christmas Seals is put to careful use, fund-ing medical research into the treatment and prevention of lung dis-ease, patient support programs and services in communities across British Columbia, and helping children choose a smoke-free lifestyle.

Those wishing to make a donation can do so by calling 1-800-665-5864 or visiting www.bc.lung.ca.

Kick off is 5 p.m.The Rams (4-1) enjoyed a bye

As of this week Canada Foot-ball Chat has the Rams ranked 17th behind mainland opponents W.J. Mouatt (Abbotsford) at 12th, Vancouver College at 13th, and B.C.’s top ranked team, St. Thomas More of Vancouver at fourth.

Josh Cowen of the Red Deer Rebels, left, puts pressure on defenceman Brett Cote of the Victoria Royals during the Royals’ 3-2 win at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre on Sunday.

You’ll have to forgive me if I’m still buzzing from the excitement of being on the ice with the Victoria Royals during their charity game with members of the Cana-dian Forces on Tuesday.

I was pumped, and I’m certainly not embar-rassed about it. It’s defi-nitely something to tell my kids one day. How-ever, I do want to apol-ogize for my skating abilities, or lack thereof, to the packed house of Canadian Forces mem-bers at CFB Esquimalt’s Wurtele Arena. Luckily, my linemates for much of the game, Jamie Crooks and Keenan Kanzig, were of an understanding nature.

In a game that was controlled by the Royals players – they were split, half on Team White and half on my Team Blue – each looked to set me up when the opportunity presented itself.

My best chance came when Crooks skated behind the net and passed the puck right to me. I was in the perfect spot, had the puck on my tape, and there was plenty of open net to shoot at. Unfortunately, there was to

be no added glory for me that day, as I hit the goalie in the pads.

The event raised just under $4,000 for the Government of Canada Charita-ble Workplace Cam-paign in support of the United Way/Healthpartners.

Things I learned:• Despite how

they might look on a bad night, WHL players are ridiculously skilled. And in a shinny setting such as Tuesday, there are no such thing as cement hands.

• There are not going to be any breakaways when Tim Tra-ber is on the ice. At least not against his team. The captain of Team Blue scored a goal and was the game’s third star, stick-ing to the defensive game that makes him so effective.

• During the national anthem, you face the flag. I actually knew this already, but it didn’t stop my confusion. That’s because when there’s a flag bearer on the ice, he (or she) trumps the flag which permanently hangs over the rink. It didn’t help that I was

at the end of the lineup and had to look back toward the crowd.

• They’re teenagers. Not only did some of them bicker on the bench about not pass-ing (enough) to each other, I realized that’s one of the few, if only, conversations between two bickering teenagers I’d actu-ally enjoy hearing. To be fair, the boys were gentlemen. If I was them, I’d be awfully tempted to complain about being in my gear for three and a half hours just to play 40 minutes of hockey, what-ever the cause.

• Strobe lights will temporar-ily blind you. The game opened with NHL-size hype. Lights were turned out. Fog filled the rink. As announcer Cliff Lequense introduced each player over the microphone, strobe lights flashed across the ice. When it was my turn to skate on the ice, I had no idea where I was going. After a few strides into the dark-ness I could make out a few bod-ies in the mist. I lined up along the blue line with my team and was able to avoid embarrass-ment - at least until I fell down on my first shift.

They really are that good

Don Denton/News staff

Some can catch him, but few can tackle Rams’ Western Conference MVP Terrell Davis.

Travis PatersonIsland Insider

Tools…We’ve got it.


Travis PatersonNews staff

Bob Heyes has the resumé. A Minto Cup, two Mann Cups and time playing field lacrosse with the legendary Victoria Waxmen/Seaspray.

But as a goalie who spent his fair share of time watching from the bench, the newly appointed head coach of the Victoria Sham-rocks also has a per-spective some players don’t.

Heyes was pro-moted from assistant coach of the iconic Western Lacrosse Association organization this week following Walt Christian-son’s recent resignation.

“My style will be different. How, I can’t really pinpoint right now, but I want a different style of play,” Heyes said.

“I want players to have a little more accountability and respon-sibility, not that we didn’t have it before, but to make sure they realize they’re playing for a team with a rich history, on and off the floor.”

A Nanaimo product until inter-

mediate, Heyes signed with the junior A Esquimalt Legion, and was the team’s MVP during its 1988 Minto Cup championship. He spent time as starter and backup with the Shamrocks, winning Mann Cups in 1997 and 1999, the latter being Christian-

son’s comeback season. He also played for the Pittsburgh Bulls in the defunct Major Indoor Lacrosse League, a pre-cursor to the National Lacrosse League.

Until recently, becom-ing a head coach hadn’t crossed Heyes mind.

“I’ve played under past coaches such as

Chris Hall, and Walt, and I hold them in high regard, he said.

I don’t see myself at that level right now. I’ll be learning every day. Coaching this club is a huge respon-sibility.”

The goals are the same how-ever, and Heyes is out to right the errors of the ’Rocks’ ways. Last season the club was built

to defeat New Westminster Sal-monbellies, who had set the bar in the WLA. That collapsed when the Shamrocks fell to the upstart Langley Thunder in the first round of the playoffs.

“If you really want to put a mark on your lacrosse career, you do it in Canada winning a Mann Cup,” Heyes said.

“It’s much harder to win a Mann Cup than a one-game final, where it’s still a battle, but in this league there can be more playoff games than regular sea-son, so I’ll emphasize that. A lot of guys are NLL players, but if you’re here, you’re here to be a Shamrock.”

Heyes expects to have his assistants in place as

soon as two weeks from now: one offensive and one defensive special-ist who are going to be on the same page but who aren’t yes men,

he said.“There’s a lot of people

in town who have a great lacrosse background and I will

be leaning on some of them to be open to (re)building this fran-chise toward greatness.”

Longtime volunteers and philanthro-pists Eric Charman and Michael (Benj) O’Connor will co-chair the David Foster Foundation’s 25th anniversary Miracle Concert and Galas, May 26, 2012.

Held at the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre, the Miracle Concert and Gala is a key celebration during a weekend that promises to bring some of North America’s brightest stars, including music producer David Foster, to Victoria.

“Having the expertise and clout of two of Victoria’s most outstanding citizens lead-ing our gala event is a home run for us,” said Michael Ravenhill, CEO of the David Foster Foundation. “Between the two of them, Eric and Benj have raised millions of dollars for this community already. We have a significant fundraising goal, but with these two at the helm, I have no doubt we

will get there.”On May 26, Foster will bring back his

popular Hitman Show for a Miracle Con-cert – held in conjunction with a star-stud-ded David Foster Foundation gala grand opening weekend celebrating the rebirth of the Oak Bay Beach Hotel, May 25 to 27. Concert tickets will be available in the new year.

In Canada, the David Foster Founda-tion supports families whose children are undergoing major organ transplants. Families receive support for non-medical expenses incurred when travelling away from their homes to be with their child during transplant.
