As the days continue to shorten and winter sol-stice looms, ICBC and Saa-nich police are urging more pedestrians and cyclists to embrace flashy clothing as a matter of life and death.
Last week, Saanich police and Reserve Constables distributed free commer-cial-grade reflectors to Uni-versity of Victoria students as they boarded buses and rushed off to class.
See still see a lot of pedes-trians out there dressed in black or dark clothing, so we want to let people know they can wear whatever they wish but you need to be reflective and visible at night, said Saanich police Sgt. Alan Gurzinski.
ICBCs sobering statistics reveal a 74 per cent uptick in pedestrian collisions with vehicles between October and January. December is the worst month for pedes-trian injuries and deaths resulting from vehicle col-lisions, and most incidents happen on Friday after-noons.

Green teensRoyal Oak middle school Grade 7 students Justin Lucoe, left, Caden Cochrane, Spencer Simeao and Ethan Boag get to work on part of a restoration project at the school in which 570 students from Royal Oak and another 30 from Claremont secondary participated. Saanich parks crews removed thick blackberry bushes from behind the school and replaced it with topsoil so students could plant berry-producing shrubs important to bird migration and hundreds of other plants. The project is a joint partnership with the school, the District of Saanich and the Peninsula Streams Society.

BRAVESBBSAANICH
By Jennifer Blyth
Theyll be pink and proud of it when the Saanich Junior Braves step on the ice at Pearkes Arena this Friday night.Sporting brand new, re-designed jer-
seys from Elite Sportswear, the Braves will welcome cross-town rivals the Pen-insula Panthers for the seventh annual Pink in the Rink evening.
Fans are urged to come out and cheer on the home team in this highlight of the winter season, supporting breast cancer programs and awareness through the local Island Breaststrokers dragonboat group.
In addition to the new jerseys, players will go all out with pink laces, and stick and sock tape anything to get into the spirit of the evening and rev up the crowd, says Norm Kelly, Braves co-owner and President of Hockey Operations.
We have a very special group this year, Kelly says. They love being together as a team, and that cohesiveness, along with (GM and Head Coach Brad Cooks) leadership, has meant that even in the face of injuries, and with players moving up and down with Junior A, the guys are positive. They rule their own environment really well.
In addition to a fast-paced evening of hard-hitting hockey action, fans will also enjoy a va-riety of prizes, a 50/50 draw, silent auction and breast cancer information tables, but the high-light of the night is always the post-game jersey auction, with lucky fans going home with the shirts literally off the players backs for a fee, of course!
Following the game, players will also meet with fans in the Pearkes lobby to sign auto-graphs.
The special night, a way to raise both aware-ness of breast cancer and money for programs and support, originated when the Island Breast-strokers, a team of breast cancer survivors, ap-proached Kelly and co-owner Ed Geric about hosting a special event.
Since bringing in $3,000 that rst year, Pink in
the Rink has become an always anticipated an-nual event.
For Kelly, Geric and Cook, its just one part of instilling the Braves culture in the hearts and minds of players. In addition to Pink in the Rink, players are regular visitors to local schools and often help out their community at local events.
And its through that culture of commitment, dedication and hard work that the team is build-ing toward whats sure to be a strong second half of the season on the way to the VIJHL playoffs.
Coming off a stellar 2012-13 campaign, last year was a re-building season with a large crop of young players, many who have returned this year with greater con dence.
Next year were going to have 12 or 13 re-turning players who are solid, 100 per cent junior B players, Kelly says, urging fans to come and help the Braves bring the game to the opposition.
We want to be the team that people dont like to play in playoffs in our own barn. Thats what our guys are working toward.
In turn, that Braves culture is creating oppor-tunities for players who want to take their game to the next level, Kelly says, pointing to the large number of Braves veterans who have moved on to the Junior A ranks and who have earned col-lege scholarships.
Thats 100 per cent Brad, Kelly says. He knows how to bring that out in a player.

Doggie doc profiles doggie doctors abroad
Filmographer Erin Skillen, left, plays with Mango while Zoro sniffs pet nutritionist Sandee Legh. The Mexican orphan dogs are up for adoption at Mackenzie Veterinarian Services at Carey Road. Skillen joined members of the clinic for Mexi-Vets spring 2013 trip to Guatemala when it worked with local veterinarians to provide nutrition, health care, spaying and neutering to more than 200 local dogs. About 10 dogs are brought back and are put up for adoption, while another group of orphans is sent in the fall, including Zoro, whos been here two weeks.
Travis Paterson/News staff
Travis PatersonNews staff
At four months pregnant, Saan-ich filmographer Erin Skillen had her doubts while riding in the back of a pickup truck through the dirt roads of Jaltemba Bay, Mexico.
With cameraman Mike Wavre-can in tow, Skillen had committed to documenting the work of mem-bers with mobile veterinary clinic Mexi-Can Vet Project as the team collected more than 200 street dogs in La Penita, a few kilometres south of Puerto Vallarta.
Most dogs were malnourished while some were sick and in des-perate need of care, says Skil-len, whose credentials include an Animal Planet documentary on the University of Victorias once-booming rabbit population. When
I was in Mexico, a dog was saved after it had been deliberately fed a plate of poisoned french fries.
Mexi-Cans work was too uplift-ing for Skillen to overlook, so she launched a crowd-funding project to create a new documentary: Vets Without Borders.
Poisoning dogs isnt rare in Mex-ico, as urban areas become over-run, though not all street dogs are actually astray. The dogs taken in by the Mexi-Can veterinarians and vet techs receive health care, a consistent diet and are spayed or neutered. After that, most are returned to their owners, though some are brought back to Canada for adoption.
From a Canadian perspective, theres dozens of dogs roaming the street but most actually do have homes, which is why educa-
tion is so important, Skillen said.Sandee Legh of McKenzie Vet-
erinary Services has now been on two trips, where the one- to two-week crash courses with the Mexi-Can team treats as many dogs as possible and work with local groups and organizations to develop relationships and educate the local populations.
You cant just go in there and tell them what to do, Legh said. When I first visited, it was women and children bringing dogs into the mobile clinic and now its men, which is a powerful statement.
It means the educational work that Mexi-Can has done is work-ing, she added.
We actually go into schools where there are English-speak-ing children and we teach them health care values for dogs, and
then they teach their parents. Its an effective cycle, Legh said.
Tails, for example, are routinely removed from puppies, often in a barbaric fashion, and for no known reason other than aesthet-ics. Thats since changed in La Penita.
Skillens first trip with Mexi-Can was to Guatemala in 2010. At that time the area they visited had hit a crisis point with so many dogs roaming in packs.
Thats when they become dangerous, Skillen said. But the truth is, they are surprisingly well adjusted and socialized because theyve learned to depend on humans for food, and have learned to get along with other dogs. It doesnt work being an aggressive dog. And because of this theyre perfect for adoption.
Skillen is using crowd funding site Indiegogo.com to reach her $30,000 goal for Vets Without Bor-ders (igg.me/at/vwb).
Most of the cash will be used not to pay the filmmakers but for distribution to film festivals and broadcasters.
So we can get the message out, Skillen said.
Skillen approached several broadcasters to commission the project but was met with requests for more trendy topics about pred-ators or river monsters or snakes.
I believe there is a human story here that people want to see, peo-ple helping dogs, and people help-ing people, she said.
For more information, visit vetswithoutborders.com or igg.me/at/vwb.
Quick factsn Vets Without Borders, a one-hour documentary, follows two teams of veterinarians and vet techs using their vacation time to volunteer at temporary clinics in Guatemala and Mexico.
n Local filmmaker Erin Skillen hopes to raise $30,000 through crowdfunding to complete and distribute her documentary to festivals and broadcasters across North America.
n The main goals of the Mexi-Can Vet Project are to fund and participate in sterilization clinics and improve animal welfare in Mexico; however, after each clinic, Greater Victoria vets return with anywhere from six to 14 dogs for adoption in Canada.

Reserve Constables Barry McLean, back row left, Bryan Kirke and Phillip De Paoli with ICBC road safety co-ordinator Colleen Woodger and Saanich police Sgt. Alan Gurzinski display free reflectors offered to transit commuters near the University of Victoria bus loop on Nov. 27. The initiative is part of a province-wide campaign for road safety during the winter months.
Continued from Page A1
Avoiding collision is a shared responsibility, said Colleen Woodger, ICBC road safety co-ordinator. Its not just the pedestrians responsibility to wear reflective gear, but its also the drivers responsibility to look for pedestrians.
Eye contact between drivers and pedestrians or cyclists is the best way to ensure both par-ties are aware of one another, Woodger said.
Gurzinski, a member of Saa-nich PDs bike squad, said he often discovers other mountain bikers on Saanichs trails who lack proper lights and reflective gear. They come up on you so quick, and its quite concerning
for me where youre on a trail, he said.
But Woodger and Reserve Constables were encouraged by the initial response from passing UVic students, who were keen to grab a free commercial-grade reflector for their bag, jacket or bike.
Some transit users dont think they need reflective equip-ment, but every bus ride starts and ends with a walk, Woodger said. Remember to look, listen and be seen.
Watch for walkers: ICBCDid you know?As a result of vehicle-pedestrian collisions last year on Vancouver Island, there were:
n 330 pedestrian injuries n 10 pedestrian deathsn One in five people killed in car crashes in B.C. are pedestriansn The top contributing factors to pedestrian-vehicle collisions are driver distraction, weather and failure of drivers to yield at a crosswalk.n Source: ICBC
Remember to look, listen and be seen.

It has been 15 years since I wrote a commentary objecting to the B.C. government pushing aside its own hard-won treaty process to reach an unprecedented land-and-cash settlement with the Nisgaa Nation for their ancient Nass River territory.
My objection, and that of many others, was the imposition of a parallel state with collectively owned land enshrined for all time. This was an ailing NDP government rushing to enable a property ownership system that has demonstrated little but failure and suffering around the world.
The Nisgaa are proving me wrong, and this was again demonstrated at a little-noticed ceremony at the B.C. legislature last week.
The B.C. government had just passed amendments to allow a gas pipeline through Nisgaa Memorial Lava Bed Park, the first co-managed provincial park in B.C. history. Another bill enabled the Nisgaa Lisims government to impose industrial property tax on liquefied natural gas production. Legal documents were signed so the Nisgaa legislature can do
the same this week.In recent years, the Nisgaa
disposed of concern about collective land restrictions by adopting a private property system. And Supreme Court of Canada decisions have repeatedly answered protests about the establishment of a parallel state thats what it is, so get used to it.
The Nisgaa have moved to assemble four fee-simple tidewater sites for LNG terminals, joining the Haisla Nation at Kitimat in reaching aggressively for a modern
economy through gas export. The Nisgaa have partnered with TransCanada Corp. on a 900-km pipeline to supply the $11-billion LNG project led by Petronas for the Prince Rupert port. And they dont intend to stop there.
We want to be part of the Canadian business establishment, said former Nisgaa Nation president Joe Gosnell.
The signing ceremony was briefly disrupted by one of a small group of Vancouver-based Nisgaa who have been using modern protest tactics against this decision.
Gosnell, the revered chief negotiator who carried the treaty
over the goal line in 2000, moved slowly with the help of an ornately carved cane to speak at a reception. He seemed genuinely surprised that he has lived long enough to see the fruits of generations of labour.
Gosnell recounted the 1887 paddling trip down the B.C. coast from the Nass Valley to Victoria to present the Nisgaa territorial claim, where the tribal leaders were turned away on the steps of the legislature by Premier William Smithe. It would take until 1910 for Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier to promise a settlement, and until 1949 for Nisgaa Chief Frank Calder to be elected to the B.C. legislature.
In 2000, when the treaty received royal assent in Ottawa, Gosnell took part in a ceremonial burning of the Indian Act and got to work on implementing self-government.
And on Nov. 27, 2014, B.C. Liberal, NDP and independent MLAs voted unanimously to open the way to an industrial future for the Nisgaa.
Thats what being alive means to me today, Gosnell said. Youve got to have big dreams. Maybe all those dreams wont come true, but at least you have the ability to dream big. And boy, are we ever dreaming big.

Nisgaa prove critics wrong
Mayors tasks show promise
Saanich Mayor Richard Atwell offered a sweeping inaugural speech on Monday night that provides a foreshadowing of things to come at least within the walls of municipal hall in 2015.
On Atwells agenda were items no less titanic than climate change, housing affordability, the study of regional amalgamation, sewage treatment and nearly as many mayors task forces and committees as cows on a Gordon Head feed lot.
Those committees include a Governance and Co-operation Review Committee, a Mayors Advisory Committee on Seniors Issues, a Mayors Task Force on Climate Change and a Round Table on Sustainable Development. Just to kick things off.
Individual councillors, including newcomers Colin Plant and Fred Haynes, havent yet brought forward their ideas to council, though it seems Atwell will make a concerted effort to consult his colleagues before heading to the soon-to-be webcast arena of public discussion.
The dynamics that play out in the coming months on council will be curious to watch, particularly as Saanichs 25th mayor attempts to bridge-build with veterans from Frank Leonards camp while seeking support for an ambitous agenda. We still lack many particulars, but we know Atwell is a proponent of a distributed sewage treatment model, a plan which is already in its early stages with a West Shore and Esquimalt working group. Atwell intends to engage that group immediately, and rightly so. Theres also potential for fireworks when Atwell takes his seat at the Capital Regional District, where hes hounded staff for the past two years with Freedom of Information requests on their stymied work up to now.
The grace period sustained by committee study, discussion and concession will eventually lead to a council vote, and that may be where we see the battle lines drawn internally. But the tasks ahead require a strong leader who can balance consensus building with bold action. So far, regional leaders have failed to pull off such a feat. Lets hope a fresh election can create some positive momentum.

Human error to blamefor Haro Wood deer issue
Re: Haro Woods deer a hazard for drivers, News (Nov. 26)
This story is a perfect example of how people do not exercise common sense and contribute to the deer issue.
The first human error was dumping the apples. But I wonder if it was on purpose, not to feed but possibly to poison the deer or ensure they can be targeted at that spot, which is a danger to people and deer caused by people.
The second error was people
complaining about it instead of doing something, like removing the apples and having someone speak to the property owner(s), which probably would have resolved the problem theyre complaining about.
The third error was bringing up the subject of vigilante action against the deer. Im tired of self-appointed executioners getting any undeserved print time in the papers or on the news.
The forth error was blaming any of this on the deer.
I am angered and shamed by our using many creatures to show the beauty of our Province in tourism promotions and photography, including deer, bears, wolves, eagles, cougars, geese, etc., yet some try to viciously wipe them out when theres money to be made or malicious fun to be had by killing them, or when deer are blamed for any inconveniences.
Comparatively, the human species is the real danger!

Community, in all of its genders, united last Thursday at the University of Victoria.
Women, men and transgendered of all ages gathered at the University of Victo-ria for the Take Back the Night march and candlelight moment of silence, a movement that aims to bring awareness to sexualized and gendered violence experienced by transgendered and Indigenous people and women of colour.
The University of Victoria Student Society Womens Centre, in partnership with other on-campus advocacy-based organizations, organized the event, said Jasmindra Jawa-nda, the groups outreach and communica-tions co-ordinator.
Jawanda said UVic hadnt held a Take Back the Night event in recent history and
they hoped to set a prece-dent by creating an annual awareness march each fall.
UVic has five formal advo-cacy groups: Native Students Union, PRIDE, Students of Colour Collective and Stu-dents Society with Disabili-ties, but a sixth informal group the Anti Violence Project spurred the march, Jawanda said.
The group approached the Womens Centre in Sep-tember, a traditional time for Take Back the Night, in hopes of co-relating it with other projects they had on the go, such as the Lets Get Consensual campaign.
They did stellar work, Jawanda said.The Womens Centre wasnt in a posi-
tion to organize such a large event, but it stayed on their minds.
It was always on the agenda, Jawanda said, noting they use a consen-sus-based decision making model.
The roots of Take Back the Night go back to 1975, when Susan Alexander Speeth, a young microbiologist from Philadelphia, was stabbed to death walking home. She was a block from her home. The first rally was organized in October of that year, in
response to her murder. Today the move-ment takes place worldwide.
Thats why we do it in the fall, honouring the source, Jawanda said.
So Thursdays event was organized, set in a time of violence awareness with Transgen-der Day of Remembrance Nov. 20, the Nov. 25 International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and the Dec. 6 National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women that marks the Montreal Massacre of 1989 where 14 women were murdered on cole Polytech-nique campus.
Its a good time to highlight events on our campus, Jawanda said.
People want to be aware, they want to participate, she said.
The march itself has evolved as the world becomes more aware, addressing violence toward Indiginous women, trans-gendered people and women of colour.
Take Back the Night is an international event with the mission of ending sexual vio-lence in all forms. The event was meant to raise awareness on campus that violence of any kind wont be tolerated.
Its really to highlight that lives have been lost, lives may not be safe and more lives may be lost, Jawanda said. Were address-ing it where it needs to be addressed. Its organically come into its own.
In the past, marches were women-only by design, in a symbolic gesture of womens walk through darkness and to demonstrate that women united can resist fear and vio-lence.
Our Take Back the Night here at UVic is an inclusive event as we are inviting every-one women, children, trans-gender people and men to participate with strong voices to end the silence and stop the violence, Jawanda said. Men are also our allies.

Troubled treeArborist Cody Woelfle saws into the top of a poisoned Douglas fir on Elliston Street on Nov. 26, which was anonymously poisoned earlier this year. The tree was felled as a gesture of goodwill by the Davey Tree Expert Company, a job they estimated at $1,800. The fir died earlier this year after someone bored holes into its base and inserted poison then capped off each hole. The crew leader said the fir was extremely hard nearly petrified and dulled the chainsaw teeth at an abnormally fast rate. Homeowners Donna and Gordon Munroe were grateful for the charitable act, though they admit theyll miss their tree.

Reader PhotoA beautiful
afternoon rainbow descends into Cadboro Bay from its arch over the University of Victoria, as seen from atop Mt. Tolmie on Nov. 27.
The day broke temperature records with a high of 17 C and was the warmest place in Canada, thanks to tropical winds flowing from the Hawaiian islands. The temp quickly turned on the weekend to unseasonable cold once again.

Tanning beds and your eyesAs a means to achieve the perfect bronzed
glow, tanning beds have become the latest craze over the last few years. What people may not factor in is the tanning devices, just like the sun, emit harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Besides the risk of skin cancer, these rays, after pro-longed exposure, can damage your cornea and may cause cataracts or macular degeneration.
For optimal tanning bed eye safety, make sure you wear protective goggles that cover and fit snugly over your eyes. If you use the sa-lons goggles, be sure they have been sterilized to prevent infection. Also, be sure to remove contact lenses before tanning. Remember clos-ing your eyes, wearing sunglasses, or using cotton pads to cover your eyelids will not pre-vent harmful UV rays from filtering through and causing damage to your eyes. A great tan is not worth the risk of ruining your eyesight.

From December 1, 2014 to approximately December 8, 2014, Capital Regional District (CRD) Integrated Water Services will be transferring the source of supply for the Greater Victoria Water system from Sooke Reservoir to Goldstream Reservoir in order to inspect the Kapoor Tunnel. As a result, low water pressure may be experienced in Langford, View Royal, and Saanich north of the TransCanada Highway. No interruption in service is expected. Residents may notice a slight change in the colour and taste of the water however, this does not affect the safety of our drinking water.
Further information can be obtained by calling CRD Integrated Water Services at 250.474.9619.
