A family living near Uplands Golf Course is sounding the alarm after a “traumatic” attack on the family dog last weekend.

After hosting a belated Thanksgiving dinner they let nine-year old black lab Riley out in the yard aroud 8:30 p.m..

“We walked around the corner and she was pinned by this great big buck,” said Norm Kelly. “She went into the backyard and basically got gouged by a deer … there was blood everywhere.”

The attack left the family pet with multiple puncture wounds that required hours of surgery. Tuesday she was on antibiotics and painkillers, apparently on the mend.

“I’m not pro-cull, I’m not anti-cull – I’m not sure. It’s a controversial issue, no matter what you do, with a cull or harvest,” Kelly emphasized.

“The community needs to know when they let their dogs out at night to go pee, which we’ve done for nine or 10 years, it’s not safe,” he added.

Oak Bay’s acting class of 2015 will bring Spring Awakening to the Belfry Theatre this month.

It’s a show that can be controversial, and dates back 100 years, but is still relevant today, say the young actors of Canadian College of Performing Arts that produce and perform the show where teens wrestle with their emerging sexuality and their place in the world.

“The play is about the main character Melchior and his quest for knowledge and his desire to understand the corruption or ideas of society he doesn’t seem to understand. He approaches everything from science and reason and logic,” said Nick Heffelsinger, a third-year CCPA student from Fort McMurray, Alta.

“It’s a small love story, but it follows much more of an oppressive older generation, abortion, learning about sexual urges,” said Christine Baker, a student from Calgary, Alta. “There’s a deprivation of information so those teens have all those thoughts. And it also deals with some dark issues, like abuse, suicide and possibly incest.”

The play is a serious mix of teenage rebellion and passion emphasizing the oppressed feelings of youngsters.

“There’s all this intense depressing subject matter to be quite honest. But it ends in a place where you realize the appreciation we should all have for survival,” Heffelsinger said.

It’s a message of life going on, seasons of change, and survival.

“It really speaks to the youth of today. It’s really still relevant, even though the first (play) was in 1891 and now music from 2006 has been used to update it to a rock theme,” Baker said. “Even though we have a little more access to information unlike the characters in the play, it’s still hard for people to talk about their thoughts on suicide and things like that.”

Spring Awakening is a musical based on the controversial 1891 German play of the same name by Frank Wedekind that explores rules and roles of human sexuality. The original Broadway production won eight Tony Awards in 2007 including best musical, direction, book, score and featured actor.

The rock musical by Steven Sater with music by Duncan Sheik created a different experience for the audience and challenge

for actors, Heffelsinger said. “What makes it different … is

traditionally the songs are written to tell the story and move the plot forward,” Heffelsinger said. “What the authors have done is all the songs appear as moments inside the subconscious or inside the minds of the characters. The characters aren’t singing songs to each other. The

audience gets to slip into the minds of the characters and see what they’re thinking about.

“We learn all the time that it’s about moving the story forward. In this show all the songs are about what am I going through and how is it effecting me? A lot of it is deeply metaphorical.”

Spring Awakening is the first of three

shows the Company C program will mount between now and February with each show introducing them to new production and management challenges, venues and professional Canadian directors.

“It’s been a really, really interesting experience. In the past Company C has done performances with other venues in town,” said Heffelsinger. This is the first time CCPA is working at the Belfry, with Belfry staff.

“We get to work with their technicians and use their equipment and shops

in terms of creating set pieces. We also have a lot more support in terms of marketing … and ticket sales.

“To work with ( Belfry artistic director) Michael Shimata, it’s a great opportunity for the students to get to work with him, and

through the course of the year with other directors who are working constantly across the country,” Heffelsinger added.

Another perk are the two professional actors Company C hired, Amanda Lisman and Richard Hearst.

“It’s been both a great benefit to us but also a bit of a challenge,” Baker said, adding hiring equity actors means following the associated guidelines. “It’s great to know what’s going on in the industry and what kind of red tape you can’t cross.”

The model of the Company C program is to prepare students for what it’s like to work an equity performance. “Working with people who are actual equity performers and under an equity contract, is great,” Heffelsinger said.

Part of the Company C program is to create well-rounded artists, learning all aspects of the business.

“Because we’re crazy, everyone who’s in the company will have a production role and performance role,” said Heffelsinger, who portrays one of the school boys, assists with lighting design and does fight direction. Baker is in the ensemble and acts as assistant stage manager while also assisting in marketing.

Spring Awakening runs at the Belfry Theatre now through Nov. 2. Call the Belfry box office at 250-385-6815 or at visit belfry.bc.ca online for ticket information.

All proceeds from nationwide event goes to charity

Angela CowanBlack Press

The Inside Ride comes to City Centre Park in Langford on Sunday (Oct. 26), with colourful costumes, blaring music and enthusiastic riders pedalling their hearts out to raise money for the B.C. Childhood Cancer Parents Association.

The event is part of a Canada-wide indoor cycling fundraiser put on by the Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation.

One hundred per cent of funds raised will go to the Parents Association’s Island-based Family Support Program.

“Our goal this year is $20,000,” says event organizer Susan Kerr, who’s also the association’s Vancouver Island liaison.

Besides the Family Support Program, which supplies emergency financial aid, social and emotional support and

practical assistance to children with cancer and their families, funds will go toward the new pediatric oncology wing at Victoria General Hospital.

“Supporting families both financially and emotionally is crucial,” says Julia Taylor, whose eight-year-old son, René, has been in active treatment for four years.

“By lowering the parents’ stress level, you’re allowing the fabric of the family to stay together.”

Taylor and her family’s team The Spinsationals have been involved with the Inside Ride since its inception in 2012. “It’s a really simple way to make a huge difference,” she says of the event.

This is the third year that Coast to Coast has partnered with BCCCPA to host the Inside Ride. The hour-long relay, which kicks off at 10:30 a.m., challenges each member of the teams to ride for 10 minutes before passing the pedals over

to the next person.“Everybody thinks you have

to ride as hard as you can and as fast as you can, but that’s not the case,” says Kerr. “You have five people who are waiting for you, so your team is dancing

around you as you’re riding and there’s conga lines snaking everywhere.”

Coast to Coast brings their

own DJ, blasting high energy music from wall to wall. At the end of the ride, prizes are given out for best costumes, the most mileage and the best fundraiser team. “It’s such a fun event,” Kerr says.

Teams of four to six people are still welcome to register for the ride, hosted for the first time at City Centre Park to accommodate a larger turnout.

To sign up a team or donate visit victoria.theinsideride.com, or for more information, email Kerr at [email protected]@goldstreamgazette.com

staff provided a welcome calm in a sea of anxiety. It’s simply “how the Island is” she said. Those connections became critical, even pseudo-friendships.

“(Cancer) changed me. Friendships changed,” she says. “I’m reserved a bit about things, but you don’t know what tomorrow brings.”

It didn’t help that Gaines was at the end of her maternity leave and struggling to pay the mortgage, but her step grandparents came through, as did the businesses of Oak Bay and neighbouring communities. They raised $10,000 through a pub event, Gaines says, the relief and gratitude still evident in her voice years later.

“The women at

Nicholas Randall (on Oak Bay Avenue) still know Taagen,” Gaines says. “It’s like old England used to be – friendly community, so close knit.”

Taagen doesn’t recall his bout with cancer.

“I don’t know because I was just a baby,” he says, flashing the type of grin

only an eight year old can conjure. “I remember the nurses, but I don’t remember having cancer.”

He does remember weekly, then monthly and now annual tests that can include blood, X-ray and heart monitoring (ECG and ECHO) both to keep the cancer in check and watch for known side effects of the treatment as he grows.

“I used to be really afraid (of needles) but I’m not anymore,” he says.

Taagen Benner has one kidney.The subject came up when the now eight year

old was in Grade 1 at St. Patrick’s elementary school as part of a teacher’s “what makes you special” assignment.

Young Taagen blurted out his one kidney fact.The ‘why’ in simplest terms, is that his second

kidney was claimed by cancer.Taagen, now in Grade 3, is the picture of

health but he really always was, says mom Natalie Gaines. He was mostly a happy, rosy-cheeked baby, even at 11 months when doctors discovered a large tumour in his stomach.

Gaines knew there was something not right early on, though she was primarily dismissed as a worrisome first-time mommy. But her baby boy disliked sitting and crawling, preferring a straight-legged, upright position, and she knew something was wrong.

Then a doctor agreed the hard feeling of Taagan’s stomach was more than constipation or gas and whisked him off for an ultrasound.

“They saw the mass immediately,” Gaines says, the lilt of Leeds, England still in her voice, despite 15 years living in Canada. “I didn’t even feel like I was in the real world.”

A social worker came along and their lives changed dramatically. Mom and dad put their relationship difficulties aside and without stopping to pack a bag, they headed for Vancouver. Taagen was diagnosed with a Wilms’ tumour, or nephroblastoma, cancer of the kidneys that typically occurs in children and rarely in adults.

A week later, the infant endured a five-hour surgery to remove the tumour; two hours longer than expected and it included a blood transfusion. Then treatment started with a couple of weeks of radiation “just in case” followed by six months of chemotherapy.

“It was so stressful going to Vancouver for treatment,” Gaines says.

Fortunately, most of the travel was cut to trips to Victoria General Hospital’s pediatric oncology unit, where they were able to administer the chemotherapy.

“It becomes like a little family there. Not only a safe place for Taagen but I knew them and I felt safe,” she says. “It’s great when it’s localized.”

While Gaines says the staff in Vancouver were amazing, VGH

Parents’ association events soothe all agesTaagen Benner isn’t likely to jump into things like sports at school

according to his mom Natalie Gaines.“He’s really quite shy,” she said. Recently Taagen’s developed a

more outgoing character at school and is excited to do things such as an interview with his local community newspaper.

Part of his personal growth, Gaines feels, is hanging out with other kids who bear the scars of surgery and tiny tattoos from radiation treatment. The gatherings of children who have defeated cancer – or are still in the fight – organized through the BC Childhood Cancer Parents’ Association are designed to bring out the joy in a child.

“That seems to be his connection to confidence,” Gaines said, adding the parent-only meetings have also helped her, providing the opportunity to be the supportive fellow mom with the “positive out-come” for her child.

“It sounds strange but (cancer’s) been a positive experience,” she said. “People were always there to help. The bad experience was the fear of what might happen.”

Cull will not cure deer problem

Just realizing how much green space there is at the Oak Bay/Saanich border and thought about deer migration.

Council’s main mandate is to kill up to 50 deer. I do not understand what this will prove.

Kill 25 or 50 and more deer will walk in from Saanich. By killing the 25 or 50 deer does mayor and council truly believe that will be the end of it? If so, I worry about that. Maybe instead of spending thousands of dollars on this scheme, the mayor might consider a fence around the periphery of Oak Bay – or a real tweed curtain! That way no deer would ever enter Oak Bay and the cull could truly be a one time event. Of course I jest.

When these deer appear, another cull will be needed and this could go on yearly taking tax dollars from other projects. Why has the mayor not told the residents this will not be a one time cull and also tell them how much money this is really going to cost us?

When I hear comments from councillors supporting this cull I wonder why we voted for them. The mayor as well. Now that an election is in the offing these are things we should, as taxpayers consider.

Tragic shooting shows who Canadians are

Our country was shocked and saddened by the shootings at Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Wednesday.

Canadians came together to listen and share their thoughts on the tragic events as the day unfolded.

There was high praise for security forces and the quick response to the tragedy.

While U.S. news station CNN reported Canadians as “terrified” those on Twitter responded Canadians are angry and saddened, but not terrified by the events.

Canadians were strengthened by our solidarity as a nation and

by our history as a peaceful nation.The nation quickly gathered in

solidarity to remember Cpl. Nathan Cirillo as well as his family, and to praise the young man for his service to our country.

Locally the Legislature was quick to put extra security in place as part of the response to shootings in Ottawa.

In the wake of the Ottawa tragedy, B.C. Liberal house leader Mike de Jong said security staff have recommended installation of a security scanner for visitors, and he and NDP house leader Mike Farnworth have endorsed the plan.

In the legislature, Premier Christy Clark called for the tradition of open democracy to be maintained.

We know we will not wake up in the same peaceful country we woke up in on Wednesday, and we cannot deny the horror of what happened.

However, as NDP leader Thomas Mulcair said late Wednesday “We are shaken, but we will not waver.”

Canadians came together in solidarity as a nation as events in Ottawa unfolded

Now that the latest report on deer has been made available it is interesting to note what we were told back in November 2013 and what is being said now is not quite the same.

We were told the municipality intended to cull 25 deer with a cost initiative of $500 per deer or $12,500. It now appears that the deer total has been increased to 50 because of a five-day unscientific deer count which amounted to 94 deer.

The provincial veterinarian has said that to be effective a cull has to occur more than once. How often? Yearly? Initially it was implied that the cull would be a one time event. How many Oak Bay residents thought this and how long before the deer cull numbers become 75 or 100 is anyone’s guess but it is entirely feasible, of course with higher associated tax dollars. For some unknown reason the original budget did not reflect the costs associated with implementation of a deer cull. Very interesting.

Apparently half of the allocated budget of $25,000 has already been spent on deer conflict resolution management and public education. The original budget also did not reflect the costs associated with the use of additional equipment

needed to monitor the traps throughout the duration of the cull. Why not?

Were we hoodwinked in a dire effort to promote this cull by the mayor? This meagre $12,500 cost initiative is now ballooning. But where will it end?

Oak Bay had said that the deer meat will be given to the Songhees First Nation. In the Oct. 14 report it states that talks are continuing with the Esquimalt and Songhees First Nations regarding the distribution of the meat. Has it not been decided? One sentence contradicts the other just as does the entire report.

In the Oct. 17 Oak Bay News it is further stated that additional cost to process the meat would come out of the 2015 Oak Bay budget. More tax dollars that we were unaware of.

There is too much secrecy and too much unknown in this entire project. I think it is time mayor and council did the credible thing and gave us the real facts and do a proper study of what these dollars are going to get us. How often will they cull, how many deer and how much more money will it cost the taxpayer?

Great election fodder. RJ Laidlaw

Police and extra guards were at the B.C. legislature Wednesday, with flag lowered to half staff in honour of soldier shot and killed in Ottawa.

MPs recall Ottawa shooting chaosAndrea PeacockNews staff

Murray Rankin hid under a desk at the Centre Block building at Parliament Hill, as an ordinary Wednesday NDP caucus meeting on Parliament Hill quickly turned into a state of terror.

“We heard what we thought were con-struction sounds,” said Rankin, Victoria MP.

“We’ve never heard those noises before. Then at one point I heard a dozen, maybe 10 gunshots going off.”

Just metres away, a gunman had exchanged fire with police and was killed in the halls of Centre Block, part of the Houses of Parlia-ment where both the Conservative and NDP caucuses were meet-ing.

At that point, secu-rity took charge by bar-ricading the doors and telling caucus mem-bers to take cover and not to leave.

“We put chairs in front of the doors, and we were told to go to the floor and get under the desk if (we could),” Rankin said.

Down the street, Saanich-Gulf Islands MP Elizabeth May sat huddled with her seven staff in a Confederation Building office under strict orders to stay away from the win-dows.

“If you were trying to pick a place where this could never happen, Centre Block would be it,” May told the News an hour after the inci-dent on Wednesday.

“It’s very upsetting and our thoughts are with the soldier who

was shot and the secu-rity team keeping us safe.”

Initial reports said the gunman had exited a vehicle near the National War Memo-rial around 9:50 a.m., where he shot reserv-ist Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, who later died from his injuries.

Kevin M. Vickers, sergeant-at-arms of the House of Commons – and brother of Victoria festival organizer John Vickers – was credited with shooting the gun-man once he entered the halls of Parliament.

At least one other armed suspect was thought to be involved.

As a result of the shooting, the B.C. Leg-islature increased its security on Wednes-day, and was not open to the public.

Only those on official business, or with a pre-arranged school tour or event were permit-ted inside. -with files from Daniel [email protected]

“There’s lots of scenarios, I’m worried about the safety side of it. I’m worried that somebody’s going to get hurt. These are not pretty animals, they’re big, strong.”

With a home on Salt Spring, where rules about dogs and deer are stringent, the family pet is well-trained to leave deer alone, he said.

“She doesn’t even know what to do with them,

it’s not like she came out growling and barking,” Kelly said. “A deer will be a deer, a dog will be a dog, but not in my backyard.”

Oak Bay council recently recommitted to its goal of having a cull as part of the CRD deer management strategy. Other implementations have included signs in the Uplands area warning drivers of deer as well as upping fines for those caught feeding deer.

Resident requests for repairs on York Place will be revisited.

Oak Bay council agreed, during its Sept. 20 committee meeting, to consider adding improvements to the northern segment of the road in the 2015 budget.

The area recently had patch work and power washing done as part of the district’s routine maintenance. However, residents are still concerned about the state of the roadway and sidewalks.

“It’s strictly a public safety issue,” said Christine Warne, citing a September report that residents commissioned from Dr. Elaine Gallagher, of Gerotech Research Associates. “The sidewalk is unusable. For those in scooters and wheelchairs the road is the only option.”

Gallagher’s report called for massive repair or replacement of

much of the sidewalk and noted that foliage blockage bylaws need to be better enforced in the area.

Staff have contacted residents on the street asking them to trim the hedges that are edging out onto public property.

Warne conceded that cleaning and patching has helped somewhat. However the residents still sought more work to make the street manageable, particularly repaving of the 50 metres closest to the end of York Place.

Oak Bay council agreed to investigate a

practical treatment to improve the asphalt surface of the northernmost segment of York Place taking into consideration the sequoia tree roots to be considered in the 2015 budget. Staff expect it would be under $20,000 to investigate and implement.

Decisions made during committee meetings come before council as recommendations for further discussion and official ratification.

Over the next few weeks volunteers on committees and commissions across Oak Bay will be pinned.

The Honour of the Oak Leaf was established through the Community Initiatives Committee to recognize those appointed by council to serve the district as a volunteer committee, commission, board or panel member or those who have served on council.

“They had used the oak leaf pins for something in Oak Bay,” said Coun. John Herbert, chair of the CIC. “It is a duplicate of a pin that had been given out before in Oak Bay.”

Established last week, Mayor Nils Jensen, who worked

with Herbert on the initiative over the last two years, pinned the first two volunteers Monday night in a “symbolic first.”

“These are people who give of their time and expertise,” Jensen said.

Jensen selected a pair of longest-serving volunteers, Ken Agate and Jean Sparks, as well as the youngest volunteer with the district Andrew Stinson to receive the first awards.

“It hasn’t been work, it’s been enjoyable,” said Agate. Sparks was unable to make the Monday meeting, and

it’s expected she’ll be awarded the pin this Monday night.

Stinson, now 21, came out when the district created the Environmental Advisory Committee three years ago.

“He comes to virtually every meeting of council,” Jensen said, pinning the Oak Bay High grad turned UVic student.

Each honouree, whether present in one or 10 positions, earns a pin. The district will also maintain an Oak Leaf Register where each honouree’s name will also be inscribed once followed by the first year that person served the community.

The register will be updated at the end of each council term.

“It is really nice to recognize people. We have an awful lot of people who do a lot for the municipality and have done for years and years and years,” Herbert said. “For some of the other things, you get appointed to a committee and you don’t get anything other than abuse.”

By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD.Long term weight control without controlling blood sugar is destined to fail. This is why wehave an epidemic of obesity. How it works: Stops the “roller coaster” of cravings and appetiteto eat foods like sugar and starches that cause high blood glucose levels, which then bringson your pancreas to automatically pump insulin into your blood stream. Subsequently thehigh level of insulin precipitates low levels of blood glucose and cravings for more sugarand starchy carbohydrates (breads, noodles, crackers, cereals, french fries) which you don’tneed and therefore it goes into unwanted fat storage and being overweight. Experts nowrecognize these basic facts.#40 Bell Blood Sugar Imbalance helps to stop this viciouscycle and puts you in control. Dr. Hammond says this natural product works 10 times betterbecause it reprograms our brain and pancreas to release insulin in a controlled manner.

Helpful non-fattening eating suggestions in the box. Fibers and exercise like walking are beneficial and help after youcontrol the underlying basic blood sugar imbalance. < Working in a health food store I heard people saying howwell #40 works. I tried it myself. Finally a product that controls my blood sugar much better than what anything else wehad in the store. Thank you for helping people around the world. Irene M. Urdialez, 43, Brynton Beach, FL <My medicalindicated pre-diabetic. I took #40. When re-tested readings were fine. This helped my metabolism and my weight isdown 25 lbs. I am grateful to the health food store people for their advice. Michael O’Brien, 60, Rutherglen, ON < Ifinally found the right approach to lose weight. I tried for 3 years to lose weight. After starting #40 my bloodsugar is stable now. I was able to stop overeating and lost my excess weight. Sara John, 40, Kitchener, ON < I wasstruggling for 15 years with weight gain in spite of diet and exercise. I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic. I will foreverbe grateful to the store manager that explained to me to take #40 and read suggestions to avoid fattening foods. I lost 70lbs. My fasting blood sugar is now 92. My 2 hour post meal glucose level is now 92 as well. My new shape raised myself-esteem and gave me immeasurable peace of mind. Karen Maples, 55, Clarksville, TN <Diabetic eliminatedhigh blood sugar levels with #40. My readings were 140 to 200 and are now 99 to 122 range where I want it to be.Before I bought about 10 different supplement that were more expensive and didn’t work as well.

COMMUNITYARTS COUNCILOF GREATERVICTORIA



Minimal intervention, a phrase coined by councillors Pam Copley and Cairine Green Monday night (Sept. 20), seems to be the key to draining the pool on Weald Road.

Council agreed to have Oak Bay staff develop a scaled back plan to reduce flooding on Weald Road in the Uplands to be looked at for next year’s budget to alleviate water concerns in the 3100-block. The decision was made in response to requests from residents in the area that run the gamut from no work at all to a fully developed road to accommodate two-way traffic.

The latter would require major overhaul and removal of trees, staff found during several site visits. The staff report called the trees a “problem” with fully developing the road.

“Trees are not a problem, they are a blessing,” said Norman Wale, a nearly four-

decade resident of Weald Road. “(The neighbourhood) is distinguished by open space, green space and treed space. The problem is inadequate drainage … it’s been the same problem for 39 years.”

Municipal staff agree drainage is a problem at times.

The asphalt road is 4.5 to 6.5 metres wide and 190 metres long with no curbs and abuts a grass boulevard where vehicles have been parking during construction work on the street for the past few years, said Dave Marshall, director of engineering in a report to council.

He suggested a handful of options for council, including waiting to address the problem in conjunction with the planned Uplands sewer and storm drain project. That however, had too lengthy a timeline.

“If we’re not going to get to it in the next foreseeable future this is the next option,” said Coun. Michelle Kirby.

The option to fully develop the roadway didn’t see much

traction around the committee table. Most preferred to maintain the original design philosophy in Uplands.

“John Olmsted’s vision for Uplands … that is what needs to be taken into consideration,”

said Coun. Pam Copley. “Uplands is a heritage landscape … it’s not the buildings that are so much important but the landscape, the setting.”

Newcomers should be aware of the special guidelines for Uplands she added.

Oak Bay values heritage streets,

landscapes and parks, added Coun. Cairine Green.

“Weald Road reflects that very well.”

Committee agreed to have staff create a plan to include installation of asphalt water control on the east side, possible re-grading of at least two existing driveways and possible addition of a catch basin at the Cotswold end for consideration in the 2015 budget.

Motions made during committee meetings are sent to council as recommendations for future council discussion or official [email protected]

Sheila Smedley’s first foray into the artisan show at Monterey last year was a success, primarily, she feels, because of the product she offered – goats milk aloe butter soap.

Sounds good enough to eat, almost.

This year, the Oak Bay artist will bring her longtime passion for jewelry, primarily in seasonal glitz, to the Nov. 22 event.

“There will be a couple of different lines,” she said, gesturing to the ‘winter berries’ adorning her own neck and ears. “At this time of year people enjoy the glitz and glamour.”

The resident jewelry artist at Sidestreet Studio on Oak Bay Avenue also teaches the craft at Monterey Recreation centre. For three years, she’s shared her knowledge.

“It’s fun for me because I love teaching and I love watching people discover their

own creativity,” Smedley said. Elizabethan and Edwardian jewelry

opened her artistic mind 11 years ago while she was living overseas.

“I was inspired by especially the historical reproduction pieces in the UK,” she said.

It’s led to the ability to be a full-time self-employed artist the last seven years as Sarabande Treasures.

“I’m thankful every day to be doing what I do. I don’t take it for granted,” she said. “I put my time in jobs I didn’t particularly like … it’s a wonderful surprise to do what I’m

doing.” Soap creation

(followed by other skincare products) began for her more than three years ago when she realized her habit of buying quality soap was starting to

add up. “Then I discovered I could make it

myself,” she said. “And I love knowing exactly what’s in it. In this day and age that’s nice.”

Smedley offers all her creations during the Monterey Recreation Artisan Show and Sale on Saturday, Nov. 22 from 10 a.m, to 2 p.m. at 1442 Monterey Ave.

A ‘tail’ of horsepower among the rambling poniesThe New Forest, England - Horse-power rules the roads through this picturesque national park on the south coast.Around 4,000 in horsepower charge freely around the almost 57 hectares of flatland, less than half of which is true forest while the rest is made up mainly of marsh and pasture, dotted with an-cient villages. Of course, I’m not talking about powerful sports cars but the real ponies that graze this land.A regal BMW 328i seemed fitting for a journey through a park, declared an exclusive royal hunting ground back in 1079 by King William.There are many road points of entry but I roared in rather rudely via the M27 motorway, which gallops into the area before stopping abruptly at Cadnam. The park’s beauty was evident for the last five kilometres on both sides of the fast track. I pulled on the reins of the 241 horses under the hood. The four-cylinder twin turbo obediently pulled back ever so smoothly.It was early morning and mist shrouded the marshes that suddenly disappeared from sight a couple of kilometres beyond one of the many sleepy villages I passed through. I powered down the front windows and the whine of their motor was the last sound I heard for the next 20 minutes, save the occasional rumble from a cattle grid beneath. The eight-speed sport auto transmission would not be challenged on this terrain and the shift paddles would remain redundant.Gradually, the fog lifted from the narrow lane to reveal marshland as far as the eye could see. In the distance, I spied some of the famed ponies cantering, splashing as they bounded through streams. But the treat was at the roadside ahead. A group of mag-nificent specimens with shiny coats and tails that

occasionally swatted at imaginary flies. They looked at the metal steed that carried me for a few seconds before returning to their breakfast.Soon I was on an A-class road that allowed the BMW to break into a trot though not for long, as my eyes alight-ed on a sign that shouted ‘Ponies don’t dent, THEY DIE’. A short distance away I rolled to a stop at a junction where a diamond road marking reminded me that ponies have the right of way – always. And that was driven home as a line of ten cars followed slowly behind half a dozen horses strolling into a village centre.A stop at the New Forest Centre in Lyndhurst spurred me on to explore the heath land, coloured by late bloom-ing flowers that would soon yield to an autumnal chill. Wildlife abounds

wherever you look but interestingly Beaulieu village (pronounced Bewley) is the home to the fabulous National Motor Museum. After a visit, I pressed on only to be distracted by a car showroom. Not a modern dealership but one that sold only classic and collector cars! I pulled into a picnic area by a small lake. As I chomped on an ox tongue sandwich I remembered a lunch I had with former Bad Company/Free front man Paul Rodgers, now a White Rock resident. He told me he has a recording studio in the New Forest – perhaps, he would sing me a soulful rendition of the blues song ‘Rambling Pony’. I giggled then gasped as I turned to find myself staring eye to eye with a donkey.It backed off as I opened the door to brush the crumbs and specks of meat from the oyster coloured leather seats. It walked around the Bimmer, kicking the tires you might say, seemingly looking over its sleek lines.

I followed closely like an eager salesman, telling him about the car’s finer standard features, its fuel economy (8.7/5.4 L/100kms city/highway), its ability to hit 100 klicks in 7.5 seconds. Maybe that last fact was a bit insensitive, given the nature of the beast before me.He remained silent throughout. ‘What is a donkey doing among all of these horses,’ I thought aloud. He turned, gave me a withering look before shambling away and replied: “Technically, they are ponies – short horses – and having a short ass like me around makes them feel superior.”Smart ass.Price Range: $35,900- $58,300.

You can shop for groceries around town in it but a trip up to a local ski hill will certainly not stress out the Mercedes GLA.

By Alexandra Straub

Burlington, VT.- Three seems to be a number that tends to rub people the wrong way.Expressions like “Three’s a crowd,” or “bad things come in threes,” or someone being described as the “third wheel” don’t leave a favourable impression in people’s minds.On the flip side, there’s “third time’s a charm,” implying that the third time is the best time. Third is also a podium finish!For Mercedes-Benz, three is a magical number.Thanks to the introduction of their all-new GLA – the third installment into their compact vehicle segment – the triangle is complete. And yes, good things do come in threes. Here’s why.Of the three vehicles available in North America that are built on the same platform – the B-Class, CLA and now GLA – the GLA gives owners the ability to go on and off-road. Okay, let me qualify that.Though it does come with Downhill Speed Regulation (DSR)- an off-road specific feature - it’s not meant for brutish off-roading. However, it is competent on cottage country roads or if you need to traverse into areas you couldn’t get into with a B Class

or CLA.Whether you’re opting for the GLA 250 or the GLA 45 AMG, both trims come standard with Mercedes-Benz’s fully variable 4MATIC all-wheel drive. You can shop for groceries around town in it but a trip up to a local ski hill will certainly not stress out the vehicle.Rest assured.

The GLA also marks it as the first compact premium sports utility vehicle from the German automaker. Despite its compact designation, four adults could fit comfortably inside. Five might be a stretch but it’s certainly possible. Along with the warm bodies inside, it has a cargo capacity of 421 L. That increases to an impressive 1,235L with seats folded.What’s even more impressive is the

sound that comes from the AMG sports exhaust system. A system with two chrome-plated tailpipe trim ele-ments featuring a twin- pipe design. It’s hard to imagine that’s the burble and brawn of a 2.0L, four-cylinder engine.That’s right, the 355 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque are created from the most powerful series production four-cylinder passenger car engine in the world. Needless to say, the engine’s pairing with the 7G-DCT 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission is as delicious as Ben and Jerry’s Chunky Monkey ice cream; ice cream that just so happens to be made in the lovely state of Vermont. And a location that was fortuitously placed on our drive route. The dynamics of the GLA were also as vibrant as the hues of the autumnal foliage that decorated the surround-ing towns of Burlington. In the lesser-powered GLA 250 – which has a 2.0L, I4 turbocharged engine with 208 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque – you still have a lot of ponies to play with. In fact, of the two engines available, this would be my choice. It has pep but also a smooth demeanor. If these engine choices look familiar to you, they are. They too can be found in the B-Class and CLA.

Sometimes good things come in threes

The third time is a charm because of the compact luxury vehicles made by MB, this is my favourite. I think it has a lot to do with the styling. It has an eye-catching design, espe-cially if you’re looking at the GLA250 with the sport package, which gives you a sport brake system with perforated front rotors and MB logos on calipers, AMG body styling with inserts in front splitter, side sill panels and rear bumper in matte titanium grey, 19-inch AMG Bicolour 5-Spoke wheels with all-season tires and more.

Inside, the cabin is draped in ARTICO leather uphol-stery; a synthetic alternative to cowhide. Then there’s a 5.8-inch full colour TFT dis-play atop the centre stack; it increases to 7-inches if you opt for the navigation system. The fit and finish is fantastic and the overall ambiance of the cabin is cozy but not cramped.For the undulating roads, mixed with switchbacks and straight stretches, you have the help of electrome-chanical power steering to weave you in and out of the Vermontonian roads.And if things get a little

monotonous on the high-way, pop the GLA 45 AMG into sport mode, give it (a little) throttle and enjoy the sweet sound of driving pleasure.

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC has a starting MSRP of $37,200. The GLA 45 AMG 4MATIC has a starting MSRP of $50,500.

The Nissan Leaf relies solely on electric power for propul-sion and was the first mass production EV (electric vehicle) sold in North America. No glorified golf cart here, the Leaf can seat up to five adults and has more than enough power to be driven a highway speeds ... just like a normal car. When Leaf was released as a 2011 model year vehicle Nissan already had pre-sale orders for its entire first-year production run of 20,000 units. Based on a stretched version of Nis-san’s B-platform, Leaf uses a low-slung Lithium-Ion battery pack to store its electrical energy and it’s located near the centre of the vehicle, under the floor. In addition to ample rear cargo space, the battery position also helps make the Leaf more stable and more nimble than other EV’s. It’s a unique air cooled flat design of battery pack with four cells and 48 laminated modules. It weighs about 250 kg (600 lbs.) and came with an eight-year/160,000 km warranty. An 80kW AC synchronous electric motor drives the Leaf's front wheels. It can generate 107 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque. Leaf has a rated driving range of 160 kilometres on a single charge, but it’s capable of going longer distances if the conditions are right and the driver conserves power. The battery pack can be charged up to 80 per cent of its full capacity within 30 minutes when connected to a dedicated (level 3) DC fast charger. A level two (typical home unit) charger hooked up to a 240V outlet can do a full charge in less than eight hours. The portable (level 1) charger can be used to top-up power and connects to any (110-volt) electrical outlet. The charger port is hidden behind a small door up front.The ultra quiet Leaf has a speaker near the front of the ve-hicle that makes a humming sound, at low vehicle speeds, to alert pedestrians to its presence. Like all electric motors, full power is available immediately. The (regenerative) brake pedal feel is a little different and the lack of telescopic steering column may put-off some buyers.The 2012 Nissan Leaf was essentially unchanged, howev-er, the 2013 model year brought a bunch of technology upgrades and a new lower-priced base S trim level. An up-graded 6.6KW onboard charger is capable of reducing level 2 charge time (with 30-amp service) to under four hours. This Leaf also comes with an improved energy management and regenerative braking systems, a more efficient heater and improved aerodynamics.

Nissan Leaf is no glorified golf cart

Cute ute continues charm assault on CanadiansDrivewayBC.ca

By Zack Spencer

It’s hard to remember a time when we didn’t have the RAV4 in Canada. Toyota helped develop the “cute-ute” vehicles from Japan, along with the Honda CR-V. We had never seen anything like these ve-hicles before but they went on to forever change the marketplace and the way a family gets around. Today

the compact SUV market has become so popular it will soon exceed the com-pact car in terms of overall sales, which has been, for decades, the cornerstone of the Canadian marketplace. The Toyota RAV4 continues to be a sales market leader and for good reason. Many buyers put their money into what I call “The Bank of Toyota” and know they will get a good return in terms of reliability, practicality and resale value.

LooksIn terms of design, Toyota wanted to make this latest RAV4 more of an emotional purchase and not just a rational choice. The design has been sharpened with more flow from the front bumper and headlamps into a swept windshield and added character lines. Gone is the old swing-out tailgate, replaced by a proper lift gate, which is now framed with protrud-ing tail lamps that look unique but also help with aerodynamics. One area that could use an update are the cheap looking hub-caps. These come standard on the $24,005 base front wheel drive (FWD) LE trim level and $26,270 AWD model. To get proper look-ing alloy wheels the buyer needs to spend $28,340 for the XLE FWD or $30,540 for the XLE AWD. In the mid-sized sedan market many cars, like the Honda Accord, costing the same amount as the base RAV4 come with nice looking

alloy wheels as standard equipment.

InsideThe interior is a study in how to maximize space for a family but some of the small details could use refinement. The dash face is now covered with soft materials and looks much better thanks to the French stitching but this same panel also obscures the switches hidden below.

The seat-heating buttons, the Eco and Sport settings for the transmission are all switches the driver access frequently but they are not as easy to see, as they should be. Other than the dash there is still a large percentage of the interior covered in hard plastic. The up side is a well laid out interior configuration. The doors open to a wide angle and expose a big back seat with a flat floor, for easy access. The front seats are comfortable and now the driver’s seat has a manual height adjustment. Standard features include tilt and telescopic steering, Bluetooth connectivity, USB connection and air conditioning. The LE $1,500 upgrade package is worth-while because it includes the very important heated front seats, larger 6.1-inch display audio with backup camera and upgraded speakers. This brings the price up to $27,835.

DriveHonda recently unveiled the new 2015 CR-V that utilizes direct injection en-gine technology and a slick, new continuously variable transmission. Not the case with the Toyota RAV4, it uses the same 176hp 2.5L 4-cylinder found in the last model and is matched to a 6-speed automatic. Launching from a traffic light is brisk and the noise inside the cabin is fairly low. The steering is easy to maneuver but some might

find the feedback to be too vague. Adjustable engine and transmission settings help the RAV4 to either use less fuel or perform better. The Eco button changes the settings of the car to improve fuel economy plus there is a small Eco light that reminds the driver when the car is being driven most efficiently. The Sport buttons holds the transmission a little longer between shifts for more

responsiveness. Fuel econo-my is rated at 10.5L/100km in the city and 8.2L on the highway, using the new more stringent 2015 fuel economy test. The RAV4 was a solid leader on the fuel economy front but the new Honda CR-V now claims that crown.

VerdictToyota is often criticized for not being bold enough in some of the choices it makes. Honda now has up-to-date technology in the new CR-V but Toyota is sticking with what works. This approach might be viewed as a step behind but other might look at it as tried-and-true technolo-gy that is reliable and still delivers solid fuel ratings. Toyota RAV4 was a pioneer in the small SUV space and continues to be a market leader but now the market is so crowded with entries I suspect it will need to get new engine technology when it is totally refreshed in a few years. My time with the RAV4 LE con-firmed that Toyota knows how to make a thoroughly practical and easy to use vehicle that pleases all passengers.

LIVE ON STAGE


There is still time for opera fans to catch a rare treat as Pacific Opera Victoria and an international team of artists presents Canada’s first “stand-alone” production of Wagner’s Das Rheingold at the Royal Theatre.

Taking to the stage tonight (Oct. 24) at 8 p.m., with an Oct. 26 matinee at 2:30 p.m., the prologue to Wagner’s monumental Ring Cycle introduces audiences to a cast of giants and river nymphs, dwarves who toil beneath the earth and gods that rule from the mountaintop hall of Valhalla.

Pacific Opera Victoria has scaled Wagnerian peaks before, with two acclaimed productions of the Flying Dutchman, but Das Rheingold is a little different.

“With this production we stretch to the maximum our growing mastery of the art of the possible,” explains artis-tic director Timothy Vernon.

“The Ring is mature Wagner – the product of transcendent genius – the Wagner for which people rearrange their lives to travel and experience what many find to be its inexhaustible splendours.”

Dutch director Wim Trompert

returns to Canada to direct his fifth POV production, having recently directed Rheingold op de Rijn (Rhe-ingold on the Rhine), an international production of Das Rheingold, per-formed in and on the Rhine, using a 13-metre barge converted into a 500-seat opera house.

Bringing Wagner’s “Wotan” to life will be acclaimed Canadian baritone John Fanning (POV’s The Flying Dutch-man), a veteran of 10 seasons at the Metropolitan Opera.

Wagner’s Ring is monumental in scope, with a perception that it can be performed only in the larg-est opera houses. In Europe, how-ever, many small companies produce the work using orchestral reduc-tions when their orchestra pits are too small to accommodate the large number of players called for in Wag-ner’s score. POV’s production, using a Wagner-approved reduction by Alfons Abbass, fits the opera into Vic-toria’s Royal Theatre.

A one-act opera with no intermis-sion is performed in German with English surtitles. For details, call 250-385-0222 or visitpov.bc.ca.

Angela CowanNews Staff

After working as a welder, paint sprayer and army medic, Andy Wooldridge decided in his late 20s to take a chance on being an artist and has made his living as a full time painter ever since.

A veteran of the solo exhibition – his first was in 1978 in Jaffa, Israel – Wooldridge says he enjoys the chance to chat to people, as it offers a break from the often solitary existence of painting.

“I think it’s marvellous,” he says, and the public clearly enjoy it as well. At the TD Art Gallery Paint-In, Wooldridge chatted with dozens of people, answering questions about his particular style, and kept one fellow chuckling through their entire conversation.

Over the last few decades, he’s painted and drawn inspiration from all over the world, including Australia, England, Papua New Guinea, Israel and throughout Vancouver Island, and has had more than two dozen solo shows.

Wooldridge, who’s lived in Oak Bay for the last 15 years, describes his work as a blend between the Italian metaphysical paintings and hard-edged precisionists of the 1920s and ‘30s.

“It’s my own hybridization of those two movements,” he says. And indeed, the influence of both styles is clear in his work, but the vaguely threatening undertone so common in the short-lived metaphysical style is replaced with an appreciation for simplicity and vivid colours.

“It’s very simple, my stuff,” says Wooldridge. “It’s theatre, really. Nothing more, nothing less.”

Though he can and does occasionally work in acrylic or watercolour, his favourite medium by far is oil.

“With acrylic, once it’s dry, it’s dead. With

il, as soon as you touch the brush to the canvas, there’s an immediate interaction between the colours. It’s the nicest medium. It’s sensual,” he says. “And God’s an oil painter, isn’t he?” he adds with a smile.

This fall he’ll be back on familiar ground with a show opening Nov. 1 at the Winchester Gallery, 2260 Oak Bay Ave. Wooldridge has shown at the Winchester since 1985, and is working on a new series of paintings for the gallery, something that he enjoys just as much now as when he started out.

It’s not every artist that makes such a

successful career from such a young age, and Wooldridge is clearly aware of his good fortune.

“It’s been very good to me, painting,” he [email protected]

Victoria Car Share Co-op is in the process of merging with a Van-couver-based coop-erative car share com-pany.

Formed in 1996, Vic-toria Car Share has 23 cars in its fleet and 800 members. The depreci-

ation of value of these cars costs the co-op a lot of money, said Tom Berkhout, Victoria Car Share chair.

“We’re not a boom-ing business. The majority of the time we’ve broken even and some years we don’t even do that,” said Berkhout.

“The reason is the

depreciation of our cars. You have to replace them every five to seven years, which means the value of the business is drop-ping because of the depreciation.”

Berkhout said in order to expand car sharing in Victoria, they have to be able to buy new cars and

update the technology in the cars.

“When you’re just a break-even business to start with, having to invest dollars with the hopes of getting more revenues is sticking your neck out pretty far,” said Berkhout.

This sparked the idea of merging with Modo.

“It allows us to get to the next level of car sharing,” said Berk-hout, adding that the cars will be newer since Modo replaces its cars every three to five years and the tech-nology in their cars is more advanced.

The name Victoria Car Share Co-op will be no more, with Modo

replacing it.“All the corporate

decisions would be coming out of Vancou-ver, but there would be a very strong Victoria presence for Modo,” said Berkhout.

Having Modo in Greater Victoria as well as Greater Vancouver will allow members to easily use cars in either place, he said.

“[Modo is] much bigger than we are, but they’re a cooperative and we’re a coopera-tive” said Berkhout “It’s not some big private money-making corpo-ration that’s taking us over. It’s a regionally-based cooperative.”

Nathalie Baudoin, CEO of Modo, said she thinks the transition will be easy, because the two companies are a “natural fit” together.

Started in 1996, the same year as Victoria Car Share, Modo has

a fleet of 365 cars and 11,000 members in Greater Vancouver.

“The biggest ben-efit is going to be for the Victoria members to really use our state of the art technology,” said Baudoin. “For me, I’m very excited about the merger because it’s a bigger territory, and it helps us grow faster. It helps us grow the movement of car shar-ing.”

The merger is expected to take place next spring, but first Victoria Car Share members must vote on it, said Berkhout, add-ing the company will go to the members in January or February to discuss if they accept the proposal or not.

“So far the response we’ve got has been very positive from our membership,” said [email protected]

Eclectic hosts an artists reception on Nov. 6 from 6 to 8 p.m. offering the public an opportunity to meet the artists and preview the exhibition.

***On Thursday, Dec. 4 from

6 to 8 p.m., Eclectic joins sister galleries for the annual Art on the Avenue – Oak Bay Gallery Walk.

“It is such a great opportunity to support local artists and acknowledge how important arts and culture are in our community,” said Eclectic Gallery owner John Taylor. “We have more artists per capita than any other region in Canada."

Eclectic Gallery is at 2170 Oak Bay Ave.

Lucie Rie, whose life story is as awe-inspiring as her work, is being celebrated at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria this month in the exhibition, Conver-sations with Lucie Rie.

One of the most influential potters of the 20th century, Rie is renowned for her modernist aesthetic of spare lines and tex-tured surfaces.

Her career spanned seven decades during the 20th century and culminated in an exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art from 1994 to 1995 – the year of her death.

Rie was born in Vienna in 1902, and was forced to leave behind a burgeoning arts career when she fled from the Nazis in

1938 to England.In London, Rie re-established

herself through her own artistic language and studio at Albion Mews.

“The exhibition considers the development of Rie’s work and the impact she had on her con-temporaries and subsequent generations of artists, curators, collectors, and admirers,” said Toby Lawrence, the exhibition’s curator. “It also highlights the friendships and dialogue she established through her prac-tice as a studio potter.”

All but one of the works were donated by B.C. resident Nedra Jane Paul, a teacher who pur-chased the pieces in 1967.

Also on exhibit from the

AGGV’s collection will be a pot by Hans Coper, Rie’s cherished friend and studio assistant from 1947-1958, and two works by renowned British potter Bernard Leach, with whom Rie studied.

As well as including works by Rie, Coper, and Leach, the exhi-bition features two contempo-rary works, a collage portrait titled Dame Lucie Rie by the late Canadian artist, Stephen Andrews, as well as a video of the performance Lucie Rie vs. Grindcore by British multi-disci-plinary artist Keith Harrison.

Harrison will present a talk at Camosun College on Oct. 28, at 2:30 p.m.

For more information, please go online to aggv.ca.

What’s in Your Beauty Products?

Every day millions of women slap on body moisturizer, apply lipstick or mascara without a second thought about what they are putting on their skin. A study from the UK claims that the average woman applies more than 500 chemicals to her body every day dur-ing her beauty routine.

Why should you be concerned?Chemicals such as parabens (a synthetic preserva-tive in everything from toothpaste to shampoo) and phthalates (a class of chemicals that are found in many “fragranced” beauty products such as lotions, perfumes and deodorants) are classified as xenoestro-gens. Xenoestrogens mimic our natural estrogens cre-ating hormone chaos by increasing the total amount of estrogen, resulting in a condition called estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance has been implicated in many conditions including: breast and prostate can-cer, obesity, infertility, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, early onset puberty, hormonal acne and PMS.

Xeno-Detox Every Day EstroSense is a comprehensive liver detoxifier that gently supports the elimination of harmful environ-mental toxins and helps to bring back hormone syn-ergy. Along with other key ingredients, EstroSense contains milk thistle which is one of the most re-searched herbs when it comes to liver detoxification and liver cell regeneration. Curcumin, indole-3-car-binol, sulforaphane, calcium-d-glucarate, green tea extract, lycopene and rosemary extract are all very effective for supporting healthy hormone balance.

So starting now, read labels and stay informed, check out The Environmental Working Group website www.ewg.org as well as Campaign for Safe Cosmetics www.safecosmetics.org for more information about how you can protect yourself.

Add EstroSense® with Milk Thistle Extract to your daily routine!

Users of the Ian Stewart outdoor pool gathered for the final day of the season on Oct. 10. Swimmers are saddened the region’s only outdoor lap pool was drained, likely for the last time, earlier this month.

Swimmers bid adieu to outdoor lap poolTravis PatersonNews staff

More than 50 regular swimmers showed up to the outdoor pool at the University of Victoria’s Ian Stewart Complex on Oct. 10 to mark its final day of the season.

The belief among users is the pool has be drained for the last time this fall. However, there is still hope that UVic could extend the life of the region’s only outdoor lap pool when the results of an upcoming physical assessment are completed. The entire Ian Stewart Complex is currently being reviewed.

“I’m pretty sure it won’t open again, with (the Centre for Athletics, Recreation and Special Abili-ties) and other facilities already at UVic,” said Dan-iela Damian, a professor of computer science at UVic. The mom is an avid user of the pool and all her kids learned to swim there. She’s been a regular at the Ian Stewart outdoor pool since she moved to the area 12 years ago. There is no pre-determined plan to shut down the pool, said UVic’s director athletics and recreation Clint Ham-ilton.

“We’re decommissioning the gymnasium and parts of Ian Stewart that are being replaced by CARSA but there is no plan for the tennis courts, the pool and other parts of the Ian Stewart Com-plex, until the third party consultant present a report on the facility,” Hamilton said.

In the meantime, UVic’s McKinnon pool con-tinues to be available to the Vikes, Pacific Coast Swimming, students and faculty.

“I’m at the (Ian Stuart) pool every summer from the day it opens in May to the day it closes in October,” Damian said. “It’s magical in the morn-ings when fog and steam are lifting off the water, especially in the fall.”

Travis Paterson News staff

Some of the Univer-sity of Victoria’s fin-est athletic successes are at the national forefront as former Canadian rugby great Gareth Rees and one

of the country’s great-est coaches, Kathy Shields, were inducted into Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame. The 2014 induction celebration was held Wednesday in Toronto, Ont.

“It’s a proud day not just for me but for all

the people who helped me do what I did, from St. Michaels University School up, and for the game of rugby,” said Rees.

Both Rees and Shields are members of the UVic sports hall of fame.

Rugby kicks first player into Canada’s hall of fame

The two excelled during the same era of prominence at UVic in the 1980s, when Rees would support the Vikes women’s basket-ball team, headed by Shields.

“I was there in high school and university cheering the Vikes men and women, a lot of us were,” said Rees, who played for former Vike Ian Hyde-Lay at the end of his St. Mikes rugby tenure.

Hyde-Lay came from the Vikes basketball team, coached by Ken Shields, Kathy’s hus-band.

Kathy Shields joined the Vikes as an assis-tant coach in 1977-78 before moving in to the lead role in 1979, which she held until 2001, the same year she was diagnosed with breast cancer. During that time the Vikes won eight national women’s basketball titles and a record of 320 wins and 50 losses. Shields also coached with Team Canada for more than

a decade before lead-ing them as the head coach from 1992 to 1995.

In 2007 the UVic Vikes basketball teams launched the annual “Shoot for the Cure” event, as a result of Shields’ battle with breast cancer. It has grown to a cross-coun-try CIS campaign and raised $512,394.58.

Rees represented Canada at the first four Rugby World Cups, 1987, 1991, 1995 and 1999. He was a Cast-away Wanderer when he wasn’t playing in Europe.

Every homeowner knows the learning curve is never ending when you own your own home.

Along with washing the dishes and sweeping the floor come routine maintenance tasks and minor repairs that occur both seasonally and when you least expect it.

We’ve compiled a Top 10 list of around the house chores and trouble shooting ideas that every homeowner should know.

Clean gutters: Leaves, pine needles and other debris will clog your gutters routinely and keeping them clear will help keep rain off your roof and drain it away from your house. Clean your gutters twice a year or more frequently if you have overhanging trees and after a wind storm. Use a sturdy ladder and place it on a firm, level base. Protect your hands with work gloves and use a small trowel to help scoop debris out of the gutter working away from the drain. To keep things tidy, use a bucket to scoop the leaves into. Then use a hose to clean out each section of gutter. Finally, make sure your drainpipes are clear. Use a hose or plumber’s snake to push out any clogs.

Find a wall stud: Hanging heavy items inside means using the strongest part of your wall – the stud. The easiest way is to use an electronic stud finder, but when you don’t have

one handy there are other easy ways to locate a stud. Most electrical outlets are fastened to the side of a stud, so check beside or within an inch of the outlet. Most studs are 16 inches apart, so use a small drill bit or nail and drill in just above the baseboard to make sure you’re on target.

Unclog a toilet: The first step to unclogging the toilet is to make sure you have the right plunger. Purchase an accordion plunger, which is better suited to the task than a cup plunger. If the water is about to overflow

the bowl, remove the top of the tank and close the flap at the bottom of the tank. Remove excess water from the bowl if necessary. Warm the rubber of the plunger under hot running water before placing it over the toilet drain, allowing water into the plunger. Once it’s sealed around the hole plunge up and down a few times, keeping the plunger as vertical as possible.

Change a furnace filter: On most furnaces the filter will be adjacent to the furnace. The filter box may be covered by a small

door, or the filter itself will be visible inside a notch that it slides into. Pull the old filter out and discard it. Look on the new filter for airflow arrows that are printed along the sides of the filter. These arrows are always meant to point in the direction of the airflow. Slide the furnace filter into the filter air box with the arrows pointing toward the furnace.

Remove a broken light bulb: First make sure the power is off or the lamp is unplugged. Wear gloves and eye protection to ward

off broken glass, then, using a pair of needle-nose pliers, grip the metal edge of the base and start turning counter-clockwise. The base may split and break off before the base turns. If this happens, drop it in the garbage and start on a new piece of the base. Alternatively, A raw potato, cut in half pushed firmly over the filament and into the base can be used to twist the bulb loose.

A P PO I N TM EN T

Penny Sakamoto, Group Publisher for Black Press Community Media in Greater Victoria is pleased to announce the appointment of Clare Radford as Advertising Consultant for the Oak Bay News.

Born in Montreal, Quebec, Clare left for England as a young teen. She studied Business at Northumbria University in Newcastle upon Tyne, in the North East of England. She then managed the advertising team at the Evening Chronicle and The Journal, a daily morning newspaper in Newcastle upon Tyne, and spent 10 years finding advertising solutions for small and medium businesses for a readership of more than 170,000. Clare won numerous awards for private advertising campaigns and a property supplement called The Journal Homemaker.

To expand her experience, Clare then joined Accent Magazines as manager, where she helped launch Northeast Househunter, a weekly property and retail magazine. The magazine became one of the most successful local magazines in the U.K. read by some 10,000 a week.

She returned to Canada in June of 2014 after her family relocated from eastern Canada to the west coast and joined the Oak Bay News in October.

Clare is happy to be living closer to her family and enjoying living by the ocean and the outdoor lifestyle Greater Victoria offers. An avid dog lover, she helps look after a rescued Jack Russell mix named Rosie. Oak Bay reminds her of where she lived in the U.K., a small area called Gosforth Village. Since returning to Canada she has qualified in basic kayaking and learned to drive on the other side of the road.

Clare is looking forward to serving the community of Oak Bay in her new role as Advertising Consultant for the Oak Bay News.
