Doggie bus rides up for debateTravis PatersonNews staff

BC Transit is asking for input in response to a call for relaxed dog ridership rules, launched by a Saanich resident in September.

Daphne Taylor and her Rag-ing Grannies colleague Fran Thoburn collected hundreds of petition signatures this year to relax dog ridership rules on public transit.

Until Nov. 9, users can weigh in on multiple options such as whether dog owners should be charged an extra fare, restricted ridership times and how often users would bring their dogs on the bus. According to its web-site, BC Transit staff is reviewing a request to expand the current policy to allow all dogs on Capi-tal Region buses, at the request of the Victoria Regional Transit Commission.

Taylor is worried there’s been too great of a negative response, and feels those speaking out against the potential allowance of dogs on buses aren’t aware of the full extent of her own pro-posal nor that of BC Transit’s survey.

Oct. 1 should have been little more than a day of solemn recognition for Saa-nich’s Smith family, but instead a night-mare repeated itself when Emma Grace Smith learned she’d relapsed with can-cer, two years to the day after her first diagnosis.

Smith, then just nine years old, beat her 2012 brain cancer and was a junior rider with the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock team last year, a joyful experience for all involved.

But she’s now been diagnosed with can-cer in her spine, and her brother Charlie,

9, and parents Diane and Darrell are still trying to come to grips with the news.

As a result of Emma being so ill, Darrell was pulled away from work overseas to help care for Emma.

“I was in France when my wife called me with the devastating news and I imme-diately returned to Canada,” said Darrell, a self-employed project manager who works worldwide on submarine cable ships.

Between trips to Vancouver for treat-ment, the Smith family and their support-ers are raising awareness of a bottle drive to help the family pay their bills. Friends are also helping the family through gen-eral fundraising.

The bottle drive is collecting at 1280 Palmer Rd. until Nov. 11. Bottles can also be returned to Bottle Depot loca-tions, where the return collections can be donated to the Emma Smith account.

Since her latest diagnosis, Emma has received radiation therapy and as now

awaiting her platelet counts to climb higher so that her doctors can commence chemotherapy, Darrell said.

The treatment will be undertaken at Vancouver’s B.C. Children’s Hospital and Victoria General Hospital.

“The things I’ve read so far have been nega-tive,” Taylor said.

“What I want to say to people who’re sign-ing (our) petition, they should tell BC Transit why it’s a good idea, instead of just hearing the negative (through the survey).”

BC Transit’s current dog policy requires dogs to be kept in hand-held cages small enough to fit on an owner’s lap, which Thoburn said is too restric-tive for many seniors and for own-ers of large dogs (certified assistance animals are allowed on BC Transit buses at all times).

The duo researched and discov-ered several cities that allow dogs on buses including Calgary, Toronto, Seattle and San Francisco, as well as countries in Europe such as England, Germany, France and Italy, Taylor said.

“I don’t think people realize when we submitted the petition, we also submitted a list of options to look at. Should dogs be on a short leash and muzzled? Should they be restricted to off-peak hours so we’re not look-

ing at crowded buses? And should drivers have the right to refuse dogs,

maybe if they’re allergic (or it is misbehaving)?”

Most of all, Taylor feels people are missing the bigger picture of climate change and it’s got her a little bit hot under the col-lar, she added.

“I hope this isn’t some people niggling over some dog hair on their coat. I see buses as a public ser-vice and we have to do something about climate change,” Taylor said. “The United Nations (climate

change report) release this week is another reminder. Those of us who are concerned about it want to leave our cars at home.”

The survey and subsequent review only applies to dogs at this time.

A new partnership between Island Health and a multi-disciplinary health practice in Saanich could help reduce hip and knee surgical consul-tation wait times by months.

The public/private partnership with RebalanceMD, a physiotherapy clinic at Uptown, will see pre- and post-operative care for about 90 hip and knee patients per month at the clinic. The result will be shorter wait times for patients waiting for knee and hip replacements, said CEO Ste-fan Fletcher at an announcement last week.

“(It’s an) innovative, patient-cen-tric approach that improves the patient experience,” said Fletcher, a physiotherapist and the driver for the new partnership. Fletcher said he sees a future where RebalanceMD will host and perform the surgeries as well, though RebalanceMD isn’t a one-stop shop yet. Eighteen orthope-dic surgeons are currently based out of the facility.

Surgeries will remain at either Vic-toria General, Royal Jubilee or Saan-ich Peninsula hospitals, but the new program brings together orthopedic surgeons with a full multi-disciplin-ary health-care team under one roof, Fletcher said.

“It’s not a shortage of surgeons,” he said. “We could have orthopedic surgeons operating every day. It’s a matter of wait times in the operating rooms.”

Creating RebalanceMD’s unique operation took years, said Dr. Zane Zarzour, an orthopedic surgeon.

“Getting a group of orthopedic sur-geons together is truly like herding cats,” Zarzour quipped at the Oct. 30 announcement that included Health Minister Terry Lake.

The goal is to reduce patient wait times for those who need an orthopedic surgeon for hip or knee replacement from at least nine months to four weeks. While that’s just for the initial consultation, the same appointment could take years in other parts of the province.

“The current wait time for the same consultation is 24 months in Vancouver,” Fletcher said. “The challenge now is the wait time from consultation to surgery. There’s no reason to have that wait, and we’re working with Island Health on the next stage.”

The closest example to the current agreement between RebalanceMD and Island Health is a private clinic in Vancouver, which works around national health regulations.

The difference with the Island Health program is that it exists on a public level. This model is unique in B.C. and is being looked at around the province, Fletcher added.

Susan Strega, currently on medical leave as a professor of social work at the University of Victoria, touted the care as a pre- and post-op patient at RebalanceMD.

Strega was guided through a total knee replacement less than six weeks ago.

“I’ve really benefitted from this col-laborative approach,” she said. “I’ve had (knee) problems for years and I’ve seen a lot of different set-ups around the world,” she said.

“In my first surgery, I found the maze I had to negotiate extremely confusing. There were so many places where there was an opportu-nity for important information to get lost, and it did get lost. Having every-thing all together, we can reduce the chance of that happening.”

Mayoral candidate left out of meetingsDaniel PalmerNews staff

Saanich mayoral candidate David Shebib is calling foul after he was unable to join a may-oral panel discussion at the University of Vic-toria last week.

Shebib arrived to an Oct. 30 panel inside UVic’s student union building that included mayoral candidates from Oak Bay and Saa-nich.

But when he approached the stage, organizers told him he couldn’t participate in the discussion.

“They said I hadn’t responded to an invite, but I never saw any invite,” Shebib said.

“I’m thinking of laying charges and formulating a legal suit and charging the organizers who are discriminat-ing against me in a democratic elec-tion. I don’t think the people know what’s going on.”

Shebib said he was given similar treatment at several Victoria-based all-candidates meetings.

Greg Atkinson, UVic Student Soci-ety’s director of external relations,

said Shebib was turned away “as a matter of having limited spaces avail-able at that event. When choosing who to exclude, we chose to exclude the person who was running in all

13 municipalities,” he said.

Atkinson said Shebib did not attend an all-candidates meet-and-greet last Wednesday, though he was invited to attend that event.

Shebib said he’s run-ning in all 13 Capital Region mayoral races to illustrate the dys-function of the political system, and to show that amalgamation is necessary.

“Yes, there are too many candidates, but I

didn’t create the system,” he said.“You have the same problems in

Langford as you do in Victoria with major issues. I’m running against the idiocy of government and the major-ity of people agree with me. But the majority of people don’t vote.”

Shebib said he intends to attend the next Saanich all-candidates meet-ing, tonight at Cadboro Bay United Church (2625 Arbutus Rd.). The event begins at 7 p.m.

All-candidates debates show healthy turnoutDaniel PalmerNews staff

Democracy is alive and well in Saanich, if turnout at a series of all-candidates meetings are any indication of interest.

Most of the District’s 16 candi-dates have attended four meet-ings that were hosted by various community associations over the past two weeks.

At each event, candidates were met with standing-room only crowds while they dis-cussed sewage treatment, land development, open government, amalgamation and other hot-button election issues.

At an Oct. 23 meeting at Gor-don Head United Church, the biggest laugh of the night came after a comment by Marsha Hen-derson: “Politicians are like dia-pers. They both need frequent changing for the same reason.”

In more serious matters,

the necessity of an overpass or another engineering feat to unclog traffic along McKenzie Avenue and the Trans-Canada Highway as well as the Wilkin-son/Interurban intersection is resonating with audiences each time the issue arises.

At an Oct. 30 meeting held at Lochside elmentary, an esti-mated 300 people watched as candidates discussed traffic problems. Some incumbents, like Vicki Sanders, were inclined to point out that they didn’t have engineering degrees, while new candidates took a bolder approach.

“It’s not that complicated at Wilkinson and Interurban,” said council-hopeful Colin Plant. “We just need 10 more seconds of an advanced left turn. The simple solution is sometimes the one that’s right in front of you.”

During audience questions, both Mayor Frank Leonard and

challenger Richard Atwell were asked why the Saanich Police Board does not publicly post its agendas or minutes. The audi-ence member pointed out Saa-nich is unique in that regard in all of B.C.

Both Leonard and Atwell pledged to make police board meetings more accessible in future.

Leonard also admitted the Shelbourne Valley Action Plan, which dictates development along Shelbourne Street over the next 30 years, ballooned into “a royal commission” instead of remaining a corridor review.

“A lot of data brought forward by the public during the (Shel-bourne Valley Action Plan) pub-lic process wasn’t considered,” Atwell said. “That’s a failed plan.”

Look for profiles of all candi-dates in Friday’s edition of Saa-nich News.

Hundreds of Saanich residents pack the gym at Lochside elementary on Oct. 30 to hear municipal candidates discuss sewage, land development and other hot-button election issues.

OUR VIEW

The climate debate, which all left-thinking people insist is over, has erupted in the B.C. legislature over our nascent liquefied natural gas industry.

Chilliwack-Hope B.C. Liberal MLA Laurie Throness heated things up by announcing that he’s “agnostic” on the subject of human-caused global warming. The religious terminology is intentional, he said, because this is how climate change is currently discussed – deniers, believers and so on.

Throness mentioned the inflated elephant in the room, 18 years with little or no average global surface temperature rise, even as greenhouse gas emissions keep rising around the world.

Needless to say, Green Party MLA and climate scientist Andrew Weaver was aghast at this heresy. And NDP MLAs lined up behind former Sierra Club high priest George Heyman to ridicule Throness, inadvertently proving his point about their rather nasty religious zeal.

I’m also skeptical on global warming, as regular readers will know, and so are many voting adults in Canada and elsewhere. And I agree with Throness’ main point that B.C. shouldn’t sacrifice its energy economy while the jury is still out.

Most politicians who presume to decide the fate of this vital and

threatened industry have at best visited a well or plant site, and media information about the industry is often from questionable protesters. So today I’d like to provide some background on the natural gas industry, as someone who grew up with it and worked in it in northeastern B.C.

Natural gas is mostly methane, the main ingredient in farts. It

is many times more potent than carbon dioxide as a heat-trapping gas in the atmosphere, which is one reason it is often flared rather than vented if it isn’t captured for use as fuel.

Raw natural gas may contain carbon dioxide, a key plant food and component of exhaled breath that has been rebranded as pollution. Gas from the Horn River Basin, one of B.C.’s largest deep shale formations, contains 10 per cent or more CO2, more than conventional gas.

B.C.’s most lucrative gas field is the Montney shale around Fort St. John, which contains nearly CO2-free gas as well as light petroleum liquids.

(This is similar to the Bakken shale in North Dakota, where American roughnecks continue to burn off vast amounts of gas to get

at the more valuable light liquids. Oddly, President Barack Obama and former Canadian singer Neil Young don’t notice this.)

Weaver and the NDP are correct in their main objection, which is that the B.C. government’s new limits on CO2 from LNG production are a sham. As much as 70 per cent of the total greenhouse gas emissions from the gas industry occur before the LNG stage, which is the only thing the new rules regulate.

CO2 that comes up with gas is extracted and vented. A government-subsidized pilot project to capture and store CO2 at Spectra Energy’s operations at Fort Nelson seems to be going nowhere. Restricting LNG-related emissions is mostly a cosmetic gesture.

Environment Minister Mary Polak correctly notes that gas producers pay carbon tax. Yes, but only on the fuel they use, not “process emissions” such as flaring. Big LNG proponents plan to burn more gas to compress and cool LNG, and their greenhouse gas emissions beyond a certain limit will force them to buy carbon offsets or pay into a technology fund.

If LNG investment isn’t scared away by protests and piled-on taxes, it surely means B.C.’s greenhouse gas reduction targets are history. The question now is how much that actually matters.

Climate change clash at leg

But what have they done for you lately?The News has received several phone calls and

comments from Saanich residents in recent weeks about their frustration in attempting to get a hold of some candidates.

While most of the District’s 16 candidates are readily available for small talk before and after all-candidates meetings, many elderly residents in particular aren’t able to attend for a variety of reasons.

Campaign signs and candidate pamphlets often point to their websites for any in-depth explanations of their platforms. Websites are also the first recommended point of contact by most candidates for residents who want to get in touch with them.

But it appears candidates are overlooking the fact (as newspaper editors sometimes have a tendency to do) that many elderly residents don’t have ready access to a computer.

They’re not privy to social media debates on electoral matters; they don’t have mobile phones; some fail to read anything not delivered directly to their mailbox by a Canada Post carrier or visiting friend.

The information contained on some candidate handouts, as one caller put it, “leaves a lot to be desired.” Broad strokes and mission statements fail to connect with many residents who feel they’re being presented with a lack of clear, actionable goals from candidates.

As another reader put it: “People aren’t interested in the fact that you like Saanich. We don’t need to know that. Let us know what you’re going to do for us.”

Accusations arose on Monday from mayoral candidate Richard Atwell, who said Mayor Frank Leonard and incumbent councillors had been organizing visits to seniors homes, and that “where a quorum of incumbent councillors are present may constitute an official off-the-record council meeting.”

Regardless of whether or not Atwell’s concerns are valid (and they likely aren’t), the effort to get out into a community and meet residents is fundamental, not just during an election period but moving into the next four years as well. (Atwell is actively reaching out to seniors homes as well, for the record.)

Whether or not some incumbents want to admit it, open government and accessible public representatives are a significant issue for voters in this election. Many will be swayed by both the promise and the follow-through of responsive representatives. Not an easy feat for a job that doesn’t pay a living wage (apart from the mayor’s $93,000 salary), but fundamental to the growing cynicism across all age groups towards our sluggish public institutions.

Local elections should be time of celebration, not tired ideas

Presently, there are costly mistakes that have been made by the Capital Regional District and Greater Victoria councils on issues like deer culls, the food scraps program, secondary sewage, piping sewage to Hartland Road, CRD wages and the ongoing issue of storm drain upgrades.

There has also been little progress to implement rapid transit, fix the Wilkinson/Helmcken rush hour or Mackenzie/Admirals gridlock.

Due to this, businesses have lost time and productivity. Over time, our region will be facing higher taxes and will make the

entire Capital Region a less affordable place to live.

The incumbents have had years to correct these mistakes.

Also, it should be understood that mayors and CRD directors have to be independent and must be able to attend each mega-project meeting without sending an “alternate.”

It’s a poor excuse to claim “conflict of interest,” leave the room, then re-enter the room and cast a vote.

It’s sad to realize there are some people who will not go to the polls in the upcoming municipal election. We need to remember the significance

of the Remembrance Day Poppy. Democracy is built on our freedom to exercise a secret ballot.

It has been interesting to see all-candidate meetings filled to capacity with standing room only.

Some of the new candidates offer efficiencies, ideas and an understanding of technology.

We’ve heard from them the concept of open microphones at council meetings where the public is encouraged to speak of concerns not on the agenda. We’ve also heard about webcasting meetings, a mayor’s open door policy and limiting the length of time for

mayor and council terms.Maybe it is time to move

some incumbents along with their experience into the federal and provincial arena.

The new candidates are not politicians. They are inspired citizens hoping to change the proceedings and make a difference. The tired incumbents should have stepped aside.

If you are planning to vote bring a few first-time voters along, celebrate the feeling of empowerment. As Albert Einstein said, “You cannot solve a problem with the same thinking that created it.”

Focus on the Alberg farm fight factsRe: Don’t be naive on farmlot fiasco,

Letters (Oct. 31)Clare Boucher is mistaken to assume

that those people working to find a resolution to the Alberg farm – Saanich stalemate endorse bullying and “have stepped in to do the Alberg’s persuading for them.” I am not aware of anyone in our neighbourhood who supports bullying. No one is happy with what’s going on. I am however, aware of a number of people in the neighbourhood who have invested huge amounts of time and energy trying to find ways to move this deadlocked situation forward.

This is not about taking sides, it’s about finding a way to make the madness stop.

Regarding the Gary oaks and the application to cut them down: Please

review the development proposal, as it includes restricted covenant areas to protect the Garry Oaks. As counterintuitive as it appears, the Garry oaks would stand a better chance of survival if the land were developed, rather than remaining in their current plight with cattle on the property.

It is profoundly sad to think that mature endangered trees will be lost because of the entrenched positions of decision makers who have not action for the sake of the greater good.

Mayor Frank Leonard has been the focus of attention recently because a committed group of neighbours have found a way for Saanich council to move this situation towards resolution without risk to either the District of Saanich or the land owner.

To date, Saanich has been very slow to consider these options, and has only now, after two years of pleading from the neighbourhood, started to take some action.

The fact that this action is occurring immediately before the election simply adds to a sense of jaded frustration.

I believe that all this neighbourhood wants is for anyone on Saanich council to care enough about this mess to do something about it.

We need leadership in action to work with all parties involved to find a resolution, and we need to move beyond in-fighting, positioning and posturing to achieve our collective goal.

Diwali traditioncaptured well

Re: A celebration of light, News (Oct. 29)

I just wanted to say that your article on Diwali is one of the most well written I have seen. It is sometimes hard to completely understand another culture’s traditions, but you captured it really well.

I cannot say how much that is appreciated.

Your article really sends out the message to the community that it is made up people from all cultures and religions, and we must understand each other’s customs, particularly when we have neighbours. Again, thank you.

Organ donation vital, experts tell local crowd

Right now, there are about 1,700 people in Vic-toria living with chronic kidney disease, and more than 200 in need of a kidney transplant. Many will die waiting.

“Every community in B.C. shares a similar story of needing more kidneys than there are available for transplant,” says Karen Philp, executive direc-tor, The Kidney Foundation of Canada, B.C. Branch.

“The research shows 95 per cent of British Columbians support the idea of donating a kidney to someone in need, but only 19 per cent are actu-ally registered on B.C.’s organ donor registry. We want to change this story and invite the public to join the conversation.”

The Victoria Community Conversation was held Tuesday (Nov. 4) at a hotel in downtown Victoria.

Members of the public were invited to share their thoughts and experiences, as well as hear from special guest speakers and health care experts about the impact of kidney disease in the community.

Ken Merkley, who received a kidney transplant

from his daughter, was the host of the Community Conversation in Victoria.

“The community conversation is important because all British Columbians need to be aware of the problem and what they can do to assist in reducing wait times for kidney patients needing a transplant.

Register to be an organ donor with B.C. Trans-plant and consider becoming a living kidney donor for a loved one, acquaintance, or even a stranger.”

Throughout the province, The Kidney Founda-tion of Canada, B.C. Branch, is hosting 12 Commu-nity Conversations to ask people to help identify the barriers that stop people from registering as organ donors as well as the solutions to increase the number of people receiving a kidney trans-plant in their community.

The Kidney Foundation is committed to increas-ing kidney transplant rates by 50 per cent over the next five years. For more information, call 604-736-9775 or visit kidney.bc.ca.

The Royal Canadian Legion’s 2014 poppy campaign kicked off last Friday with volunteers get-ting out into the community and gathering donations until Nov. 10 to support veterans in need.

But with the campaign a full six days shorter than last year’s, there’s some worry locally that the funds raised might fall short.

“Those six days last year raised $20,000,” says Norm Scott, chairman of the West Shore Poppy Fund. “That’s huge, and that leaves us open to the possibility that we’ll be $20,000 less this year.”

The campaign raised $75,000 in total last year, which goes to supporting veterans in need, youth and seniors’ services, the air and sea cadets, Alexander Mackie Lodge retirement lodge and many other community ser-vices, including supplying mobil-ity aids.

“If a guy needs a wheelchair and can’t afford it, we can help out with that,” says Rob Lumb, a Langford Legion member who

served in the air force. “Every year is different. You

never know what’s going to come down the pipe,” adds Scott, reflecting that “it’s harder and harder for (veterans) to sur-vive in this day and age.”

With the shorter fundrais-ing window, poppy fund orga-nizers are desperately seeking more volunteers to make sure the donations don’t fall short this year. The schedules for the two-hour volunteering shifts are tacked up to a cork board in the Legion, with all too many days still empty of names.

“We’d like to see if we can get another 100 volunteers,” says Scott. “I’ve got people taking two or three shifts already. There’s just not enough people.”

The shifts are a mix of indoor and outdoor spots, and some have a chair or stool on location for volunteers to rest their feet. Scott also noted that if a volun-teer is in the military, they don’t need to wear their uniform. As well as helping those less for-tunate, the yearly campaign means a lot to the members at the Legion who participate and volunteer.

“It gives me an opportunity to give back to my fellow veterans,” Lumb says. “And it’s in remem-brance of my father.”

“It’s clear and simple,” adds Scott. “We’re here to help the veterans.”

For more information on donating or veterans’ assis-tance, call 250-478-9812.

Glasses choices not just restricted to frames

If you wear glasses, there is much more to choose from than just frame styles. Due to technological advances over the past few years, there are wide ranges of practical and affordable options available for the lenses themselves.

Be sure to ask your optometrist or optician about the lens options that are available, including the following:

Anti-reflective coating: This feature helps eliminate annoying reflections and the “ghost” images some people see. AR coated lenses actually transmit more light for clearer vision. These lenses can help people who drive at night by reducing glare from oncoming headlights.

Photosensitive lenses: These special lens materials “darken” when you are exposed to different intensities of outdoor light. The brighter it is outside, the darker the lens becomes. This lens works best when you are outdoors and therefore is not the best sunglass for driving.

UV coating: A protective coating that blocks harmful ultraviolet rays. The latest UV coatings can help protect the eyes without changing the look or color of the lenses.

Color tinting: Any color tint can be added to your lenses in gradients ranging from 10-90%. This can be used for style, to give your glasses a unique look, or for certain health reasons (eg. cataracts). Color tints can be combined with UV coating for added protection in the sun.

Scratch protection: A clear coating that helps protect plastic lenses from scratches and other superficial damage. This option is pretty much mandatory for just about anyone wearing plastic or high index lenses. There are different scratch resistant coatings available depending on the level of protection a person needs.

All of these options, combined with advances in lens design (for example aspheric, progressive and high index lenses), mean that today’s spectacle wearer is guaranteed greater comfort. While at your Optometrist’s office ask what your best lens options are for your prescription.

Clean-up crew tackles Bowker

Forty enthusiastic volunteers removed non-native plants and loads of debris from the banks of Bowker Creek behind

Cedar Hill Recreation Centre on Saturday, Oct. 25 as part of an ongoing effort to ensure the long-term health of the creek, which had become choked with invasive blackberry, ivy and garbage, according to volunteers. The clean-up effort included planting of over 100 native fern, dogwood and salmon berry shrubs supplied by Saanich Parks and Jim Moores.

This was the biggest clean-up event so far in 2014 as a result of a combined effort by the Friends of Cedar Hill Park, Saanich Park’s Pulling Together Program and the Greater Victoria Green Team, part of Green Teams of Canada, a B.C. Char-ity. The park maintenance team at Cedar Hill composted the huge piles of organic material and disposing of debris. The next

major clean-up of Bowker Creek will be in spring 2015. Friends of Cedar Hill Park will continue to remove inva-

sive species on the west side of the creek as part of their weekly activities through-out the park.

For more information or to get on the volunteer list, contact:• Friends of Cedar Hill Park (friend-

After 14 years of subsidizing her career as an artist by working in a deli, April Caverhill has made the leap of faith as a full-time artist.

It’s only been three weeks, but the talented Saanich illustrator has never been so excited. Caverhill has designed cover pieces and art for many of the region’s magazines, including Monday Magazine, and the cover of the upcoming winter edition of Here! Magazine, a locally-based title that focuses on new Canadians.

“It’s so great to be able to do this full-time because you just want to pour all your energy into commis-sioned pieces,” said Caverhill.

“When you know someone is working so hard for their publica-tion, and they come to you for your art, especially for me, doing things the old fashioned way by hand, it’s such a great opportunity.”

Tomorrow (Nov. 6) Caverhill will be at Cafe Fantastico in Quadra Vil-lage to launch her newest show, Wage Slave No More. It will remain at Cafe Fantastico until Dec. 31.

A lot of Caverhill’s work is for her own projects, such as Pride, an

illustration she created to benefit AIDS Vancouver Island, where she volunteered with the women’s art program, when it existed. Caverhill sells posters of Pride for $20, with half the money going to AIDS V.I., and they’ll be on sale Thursday.

Wage Slave No More will line Cafe Fantastico with 14 mid-size pieces and a door-sized feature, Borbala’s Upswelling, which cap-tures Caverhill’s expression and inspiration.

“My step-mother in Hungary mails me these intricately detailed trinkets, such as this mushroom, as well as hand-embroidered table cloths. I can’t imagine the time they take to make them, and I love the colours,” she said.

Like Caverhill’s step-mother, Bor-bala evokes an image of rebellion and ecstasy in Hungarian high-heeled boots and seductive, bright red forest mushrooms.

Wage Slave No More is a fitting return to Cafe Fantastico, which displayed Caverhill’s work two years ago, when she was still work-ing.

Thursday’s opening night starts at 7:30 p.m. See Caverhill’s art at aprilcaverhill.wordpress.com.

Artist April Caverhill holds a mushroom sent from her step-mother in Hungary. The trinket is the inspiration for Borbala’s Upswelling, the anchor piece to be unveiled Thursday night at Cafe Fantastico, where her work will be displayed until Dec. 31. The Thursday launch will also include Caverhill’s Pride posters for $20, with half of the sale proceeds going to AIDS Vancouver Island.

Walking and rollingAbout 100 people on 17 teams turned out for Greater Victoria Down Syndrome Society’s 2014 Buddy Walk in Cadboro Bay on Saturday, including Cohen’s Crew, above, in support of Cohen Mazzoni, centre. Right, the Jay-Walkers, Michelle and Richard Yeates and their children Jayden and Riley. See more about the 2014 Buddy Walk below.


More than 100 people participated in the first Buddy Walk to be held by

the Greater Victoria Down Syndrome Society in several years.

The two-kilometre long Buddy Walk kicked off National Down Syndrome

Week, Nov. 1 to 7 across Canada.

It started at Cadboro Bay United Church, which donated space for the event, and walked down

Arbutus Road to Tele-graph Road, then followed Maynard and Scolton roads back to Arbutus. The walk was a success, with sunny weather and

about $4,000 in money raised for the GVDSS, said spokesperson Salome Crowley.

“It was the first (Buddy Walk) in a few years so we weren’t sure what to expect, but with more than 100 people, and some decent weather, it worked out well for us,” Crowley said.

Eighty per cent of the money raised goes to the GVDSS, helping sup-port programs such as its music therapy sessions at the Royal Conservatory of Music. Twenty per cent goes to the Canadian Down Syndrome Society.

Saturday’s gathering at the Cadboro Bay United Church started with a pot-luck lunch and activities for kids at noon. Thrifty Foods donated a cake.

The annual Buddy Walk began in the U.S.A. in 1995.

Down syndrome is a nat-urally occurring chromo-somal arrangement, where there is extra genetic mate-rial with the 21st chromo-some. Approximately one in 800 people are born with Down syndrome in Canada.

The GVDSS is accepting 2014 Buddy Walk donations until Nov. 30.

See gvdss.org for more. [email protected]

What’s all the buzz about the beehives?

It should be the end of a sweet season for local beekeepers, but instead a disease sweeping the southern tip of Vancouver Island threatens their hives and all the bees in them. Members of the Capital Region Beekeepers Association are guardedly checking their hives for signs of a disease called American Foul Brood, a bacteria that does not affect humans but can cause rapid death and ultimately a collapse of the hive and all its resident bees.

American Foul Brood (AFB) is present throughout North America and parallels its European cousin found, as expected,

in Europe. After two hives located in south Oak Bay were tested and confirmed by the Provincial Lab to be infected by AFB, they were sealed and buried under special permit at Hartland landfill.

For beekeepers, there are only two choices when the disease is found at this time of year: burn the hive and all its contents, or seal it in plastic and bury it. The beekeeper then has to start over again with a new hive and bees in spring.

The first sign of the disease was in Oak Bay and within days more hives near Deep Cove in North Saanich were discovered. In both cases, inexperienced beekeepers did not recognize the signs of disease until the hives were dead. It was left to CRBA club members and the Provincial Bee Inspector to confirm the diagnosis: AFB.

What the average person may not know is that honeybees can fly up to five kilometers from the hive in search of nectar and pollen. If they discover a hive that has collapsed from disease, they will rob the hive of the remaining honey and carry the food

and disease back to their own hive.

Said Catherine Culley, CRBA president, “If beekeepers find a dead hive, or indeed have an old dead hive on their property, they need to close it up immediately to keep bees out.”

CRBA members can help with collecting samples of the diseased honey cells and the club has a special permit ensuring Hartland staff buries the infected hive equipment deep underground. Carolyn Hissen has taken on the issue for the club. Her

task has been hampered by beekeepers who quietly go about their business unknown to club members or even their immediate neighbours. “What we don’t know is where all the hives are and we don’t have a way of contacting everyone”, said Hissen.

With many unknown apiaries near the sources of disease, tracking and eradicating these outbreaks will take the collective effort of all local beekeepers.

They each need to do a thorough late season check of their hives. If a beekeeper is unsure they can call the CRBA or send an e-mail to the club ([email protected]) to arrange for assistance.

The CRBA will make sure the brood disease is reported to the Ministry of Agriculture and collected samples may also be sent to the Ministry for testing (BCMA – Apiculture, 1767 Angus Campbell Road, Abbotsford, BC V3G 2M3). At this time there is not a bee inspector designated for the Island, so beekeepers can contact Paul van Westendorp, the provincial apiculturist ([email protected]) and he will arrange any necessary inspections.

Bill Fosdick is a member of the Capital Region Beekeepers Association. Contact him at [email protected].

Local swimmer Susan Simmons has been nominated for the World Open Water Woman Swimmer of the Year award.

The James Bay resident, who works in Saanich and is a frequent face at Saan-ich Commonwealth Place, and her swim-ming teammate Alex Cape swam the length of Cowichan Lake twice straight in August, a 70-kilometre stretch that took 32 hours.

Simmons achieved the accomplish-ment despite suffering from multiple sclerosis. The feat has earned her the nomination, as well as her work to raise awareness and money for the MS com-munity.

Nominees are considered to be a “heroic and impressive group of individ-uals with exceptional exploits, histories and lifestyles,” said WOWSA’s release. “WOWSA has identified Simmons as one of the world’s toughest endurance ath-letes.”

Forty-nine-year-old Simmons swims

with Victoria Masters Swim Club, among others in town. She began swimming to counter the debilitating effects of multi-ple sclerosis 10 years ago. Over time she developed both physical stamina and a determination for open water swimming.

This summer Simmons plans to swim 105 kilometres non-stop at Cowichan Lake.

There are 12 women nominated, including Chloë McCardel from Aus-tralia, who completed at 128-km ocean swim this year. The WOWSA Awards are given at the annual Global Open Water Swimming Conference and are voted online at wowsa.org/vote. Voting ends Jan. 1, 2015 at 12 a.m.

The Claremont Spartans senior boys cross country team completed a strong season, and return to promi-nence, finishing second in the team standings at the BC High School Cross Country Championships at Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre on Saturday (Nov. 1).

Only Dover Bay finished ahead of the Spartans, though the latter were with-out any runners in the top 20.

Hamish Babin led the Spartans at 24th overall, with Roberto Fedrigo, Phil Vella-cott, Brennen Smith, Angus Brown, Jordan Hopkins, and Sam Ogden.

Mount Douglas was fifth overall followed by Reyn-olds (sixth) and Oak Bay (seventh). Reynolds’ Bren-dan Hoff was the top men’s finisher from Saanich, as the recent winner of the Island XC championship was 13th overall.

Hannah Henry of Mount Douglas was the top Saan-ich finisher among the senior women, 18th overall. Team-mate Cassidy Steen was 13 seconds back at 22nd over-all. Mount Doug senior girls finished sixth overall, mak-ing the Rams the combined team winners.

Rams football cap regular season

It’s been three straight years as provincial AAA champions and the Mount Douglas Rams continue look-ing like a favourite after a perfect regular season.

The Rams ended the High School Football Western con-ference schedule with a 48-0 win over the Handsworth Royals.

Seven different players scored touchdowns for the Rams, comprised of four rushing majors, two touch-down passes strikes and a special teams touchdown.

Gavin Cobb led the Rams with 203 all purpose yards (67 yards rushing, 42 receiv-ing yards and 94 yards of Punt Returns including a 74 yard TD). Cobb also threw two passes for 26 yards.

Running back Seye Farinu continued his excellent play with five rushes for 92 yards and a touchdown, and Pato Vega rumbled over the Roy-als for 64 yards and a TD. Declann Michielin scored a TD, quarterback Joe Clarke completed seven of 10 passes for two touchdowns and Jon Grohovac was the leading receiver for the Rams with four receptions

and one TD. Michael Olson kicked six

of seven conversions. Playoffs are next for the

Rams. After a bye, the Rams will host on Nov. 21 at West-shills Stadium.

Vikes pick up rowing medals at nationals

The UVic Vikes men’s eight finished with gold at the Canadian University Rowing Championship Finals at Elk Lake on Sunday (Nov. 2).

The Vikes women won sil-ver in the lightweight dou-ble, the pair and the light-weight coxed four.

Kevin Light/Camosun Chargers

Cameron Fennema of the Camosun Chargers leaps to block a Columbia Bible College Bearcats shot on Friday, Oct. 31 at the Pacific Institute for Sports Excellence. The Chargers won three sets to none.

Reynolds grad leads Chargers in sweep

Fleet-footed Sean Duke of the UVic Vikes has been named to the legendary Barbarians RFC rugby team, a select squad using the world’s top talent. Rugby Canada


Sean Duke is in select company this week as the national team and fifth-year UVic Vikes rugby player joined the his-toric Barbarians RFC for its match against the Leicester Tigers in Leicester, England yesterday.

The Barbarians are known worldwide for their exciting style of play, which Duke suits. Canada’s Jason Marshall, a forward, was also named to the squad.

Duke, 26, is a mainstay in Canada’s national sevens pro-gram, where he’s known internationally, as he is 21st in all time tries with 105 in the IRB Sevens World Series.

“This is an honour very few Canadians receive and it’s a big deal, a huge honour for rugby players,” said Vikes coach Doug Tate, former manager of the national sevens team.

The Barbarians play only a handful of matches each year and the roster boasts 22 of the world’s best at each position.

Duke is balancing rugby and medicine studies while playing for the national sevens team, which hopes to qualify for the 2016 Olympics.

Vike joins elite squad

The Camosun Chargers women retained their undefeated record (6-0) and first place spot in the PacWest collegiate vol-leyball standings with a sweep of the Columbia Bible College Bearcats on Friday (Oct. 31) and Saturday at the Pacific Insti-tute of Sports Excellence.

Rookie Megan Beckett of Reynolds led the Chargers as the outside-hitter tallied 16 offensive points with 12 kills and four aces on Saturday. The Chargers won in three straight sets, 25-22, 25-22, 25-12.

Beckett led the Chargers with 13 points (11 kills, one block, one ace) in the Chargers’ sweep of CBC on Friday.

The men’s match up with the Bearcats was closer, but yielded the same result, as the Chargers won in a combined six-straight sets, climbing to an even 3-3 in the men’s stand-ings.

This weekend the Chargers visit Cranbrook against the Col-lege of the Rockies Avalanche.

Hoops season heats upAmira Giannattasio held the hot hand on Saturday as her

seven three-pointers led the UVic Vikes with a game-high 21 points, helping defeat the nationally-ranked No. 8 Regina Cou-gars 80-64 at McKinnon Gym on Saturday (Nov. 1) night.

UVic upset the Cougars 89-69 on Friday. The fast start has the Vikes in first with a 2-0 Canada West

women’s basketball standings. The Vikes men also swept the Cougars, kicking off the 2014-

15 CIS with a 72-63 win on Friday and a 78-63 win on Saturday.Elsewhere in Vikes-land, it was a sour ending on the soccer

pitch as eight Vikes men played their last game on Saturday. The Vikes dropped to fourth overall in the CIS nationals, los-ing the bronze medal game 2-1 to the UBC Thunderbirds.

Let’s Make NoveMber 11th

a Day to reMeMber.

In keeping with a tradition since 2001, all Quality Foods stores close each Remembrance Day to pause and reflect on the importance of the role of our past and present service men and women.

Whether in times of war or peace, we are ever grateful for these brave souls who put themselves in harm’s way for the greater good of all Canadians.

This year, with continuing turmoil worldwide, the need becomes even more apparent to keep November 11 aside for current & future generations’ to remember and appreciate their courage and sacrifices made in the name of freedom.

We believe that when we stand united in acts of remembrance, we can make a world of difference.

ALL QUALITY FOODS STORES

WILL CLOSE TUESDAY NOV. 11TH.
