Anna’s paradise

Hummingbirds up close

A keen ear and a trained eye allow birders to capture intimate moments among nesting hummingbirds Roszan Holmen News staff

It’s just past 8 a.m. and Eric Pittman is right on time to witness a momentous occasion in the bitsy lives of Rabbit and Hatter.

With his video camera trained on the two baby hummingbirds, Pittman records the siblings leaving their nest, then flying right back – their first ventures out into the world.

The babies’ speedy turnaround is something Pittman has never seen go down quite like this.

“It’s very unusual,” he said.

The Esquimalt resident is highly attuned to the intricacies of the birds’ behaviour.

For the past three years, he has spent one to three hours a day documenting the life cycle of Anna’s hummingbirds, in a colony located on what he dubs Hummingbird Hill. He prefers to keep the actual location secret, for fear curious people will disturb the nests.

Most people strolling in the park would be surprised to learn the nests are within

easy reach, sometimes as low as chest level – but only if you know what to look for.

They are hidden in plain sight, blending in with the fungus on the branches of trees.

Pittman uses his hearing to zero in on the birds.

A high-pitched peep tells him not only the location of the birds, but also what they’re up to. Whether feeding or fighting, each activity comes with a different sound.

Filming and photographing is a labour of love for Pittman, who calls himself a citizen scientist. He pays the bills by selling windows currently, but he’s fuelled by observing hummingbirds. He hopes to make a documentary, but his footage is also proving useful to a new scientific study looking into the breeding habits of the birds.

“Eric is just unbelievable at finding

photos by Eric Pittman

A newly hatched Anna’s hummingbird will soon be under its mother’s care.

nests – it’s crazy,” said Alison Moran, the volunteer co-ordinator of the Hummingbird Project, managed by the Rocky Point Bird Observatory.

“When you have someone with that kind of skill set, there is the opportunity to look at what the nesting requirements are, how they’re doing it,” she said.

“We’ve learned an awful lot just because we’re able to do the observational study, because we’ve got the guru there.”

The Hummingbird Project was launched in 1997 and encompasses many studies of hummingbird populations in B.C. and Alberta.

In February, the project turned its attention to the region’s resident population of Anna’s hummingbirds.

Migrating hummingbirds, such as the Rufous, have declined significantly over the past 40 years, said Moran, who lives in Saanich. By contrast, the Annas populations on Vancouver Island have grown exponentially since they stopped migrating and put down permanent roots in the 1950s.

“It’s like an atom bomb going off,” she said.

Staying put means the birds don’t have to expend their energy on migration.

Instead, they spend their energy having babies and building multiple nests each year.

“Now, interestingly, there is an overlap between where the Rufous have been lost and where the Annas have expanded into,” Moran said.

But, she warned, that doesn’t mean the Annas are to blame for the decline of migrating species. They could simply be filling a gap created by other forces. The purpose of Moran’s study is to start to understand whether the relationship is

causal, or simply correlational.

While Rufous are very sensitive to urbanization, Annas are positively impacted by humans, she explained.

“They actually try to breed around us,” she said.

Pittman jokes they lay eggs like chickens.

With his tripod, video camera and camera tucked in his arms, he scrambles up rocks and crouches through narrow deer paths. As he ducks and weaves, he points out several nests, some in use and some being pilfered by female birds to make their next nest.

Most people who document hummingbird life cycles stop the day the fledgelings leave the nest, Pittman said.

But he likes to track them until they are fully weaned. So much happens during this time, he said.

Later that morning, he documents Hatter getting “a beatdown” by another hummingbird.

Young ones often get tough love from their moms, too. She’ll pull on their feathers to throw them off balance and force them to fly, he explained. Mom is eager to encourage self-sufficiency in her young so she can stop feeding them and tend to her next batch of eggs.

Over the years, Pittman has climbed trees to get a better shot, returned fallen eggs to their nest, and even fed a starving baby whose mother was sick.

He said he doesn’t feel paternalistic toward the hummingbirds. His interest is merely the photographic challenge.

But his care is hard to miss.

“It’s always nice to see them fledge, because then I know they made it out OK.” rholmen@vicnews.com

The meeting also addressed improvements to the Saanichton Individual Learning Centre. The board approved $35,000 for the project planning phase. Elder estimates the end cost of the project to be about $500,000.

SBA financial report ‘inflated’: auditors Members to vote on recommendations at special July 9 meeting Erin Cardone News staff

A case of “wishful thinking” has the Sidney Business Association’s financial statements looking inflated.

“Basically where we are now, looking at their most recent statements which were May, many of those should not have been receivables as such. It was wishful thinking basically,” said Richard Talbot of Talbot Consultants, an SBA member on the audit committee reviewing the association’s 2011 financials.

SBA members, concerned about a lack of information in the statements, asked for a review starting in May. A special general meeting for members has been called for July 9 to discuss the audit committee’s findings.

Among those findings, said Angus Matthews, executive director of the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre (an SBA member) is little marketing was done to bring visitors to tourists.

“The declared objective of the organization is to bring more foot-

steps to Beacon Avenue,” he said, adding the summer market, which is run by the SBA, is one of the town’s bigger tourist draws.

“In fairness it’s a small organization …[but] it was rather alarming to us that over $100,000 was spent on administration costs.”

At the July 9 meeting, members will discuss the three-person audit committee’s recommendations.

“Our recommendation was to apply common sense and sound business practices and end wishful thinking,” Talbot said. “Obviously that’s going to make the finances look shakier – a deficit really.”

According to the committee, made up of Talbot, Matthews and Jane Powell, owner of Buddies Toys, receivables were four times higher in 2011 than 2010, at $20,145. They were just over $5,000 the year before.

Matthews writes in his summary: “$10,631 was billed out in December, accounting for half of the receivables and significantly inflating the assets just prior to year end.”

“Every board wants to make [the finances] look good to the membership,” Talbot said. “Like Enron, you’re better off to tell them the truth of the situation. Don’t try to pull the wool over their eyes because you’ll get caught.” editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Who we are:

Elizabeth May, Green Party leader and Saanich-Gulf Islands MP, returned from budget bill discussions in Ottawa to a supportive crowd at the Victoria International Airport on Friday.

June 22.

Green Party supporter and North Saanich resident Jack

Thornburgh said the group gathered at the airport to commend May on her actions in Ottawa during the Bill C-38 budget discussions.

“Her courageous opposition to the C-38 bill was amazing, so we wanted to appreciate her strong showing,” Thornburgh said. “She put so much effort into it, she was one of the only five people who stayed for all

the votes, so we just think her commitment and her stamina is stunning. So we came here today to say thank you, welcome home and we support you.”

May’s tearful reaction to the small but passionate crowd was spurred on by an impromptu a capella rendition of “O Canada,” leaving the MP smiling as she left the airport.

“I have a feeling there’s not a single other MP in the house of commons that had constituents waiting for them [when they got home],” said May. “The support from the community means a lot to me – I’ve been getting emails, phone calls and tweets, so I’ve been feeling the love, but there’s nothing like coming home to this.” reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Members of the Holmes Realty Hot Rods get on a roll for the Big Bike ride on Monday. The Big Bike is part of a funds and awareness raising campaign for the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Research money rolls in with Big Bike fundraiser Devon MacKenzie News staff

Cheers could be heard up and down Beacon Avenue Monday, June 25 as the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Big Bike hit the streets.

The Big Bike for Heart and Stroke is the foundation’s largest community fundraising program.

Last year the event raised $14,630 in Sidney and this year’s groups topped that.

“We raised $19,679, which is just awesome,” said the foundation’s community development coordinator Jeremy Loveday.

The team from Holmes Realty took the prize for

raising the most money for the cause, with a total of $5,411. Second place went to the Sidney Lions team, the Lions Pride, who raised $5,220.

“We almost didn’t come back to Sidney after the first couple of years of running the Big Bike here because we just weren’t making enough,” said Loveday. “But the numbers have just increased and increased each year.”

The funds raised from the Big Bike ride go towards conducting research through the University of Victoria’s stroke recovery research department as well as to help raise awareness through school programs. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Vision Matters Dr. Paul Neumann

Healthy Eyes.

Doctor Delivered.

Macular Degeneration The enemy of central vision

Church Services

Age Related Macular Degeneration (ARMT) is the leading cause of vision loss among people over the age of ďŹ fty. The macula is the part of the eye that provides central vision.

There are two types of age-related macular degeneration, “wet� and “dry�. The most common is the “dry� type, where the gradual thinning of the macula causes a slow loss of central vision. This affects key activities such as reading, driving and recognizing faces. Peripheral vision is usually not affected. Currently, there is no treatment for “dry� ARMD, although research suggests that certain vitamins, minerals and diet may play a role in prevention.

A growing body of research has linked lutein, an antioxidant found in green, leafy vegetables, to the prevention of ARMD. Diet has been examined to determine if nutrients can slow the aging process in the eye.

Vitamins A and E, selenium and zinc are among the nutrients being studied. Other factors, such as smoking, alcohol intake, cumulative sun exposure and genetics have been linked to the occurrence of ARMD. “Wetâ€?: age-related macular degeneration is less common, but may cause sudden, severe vision loss. This form of ARMD is caused by the rapid growth of abnormal blood vessels under the macula. These abnormal vessels leak uid resulting in scarring and the subsequent loss of visual acuity. The key to treatment of “wetâ€? ARMD is to stop the leakage of the abnormal blood vessels and thereby stop the scarring of the affected tissue. Early detection and prompt treatment is vital in limiting damage. Currently, laser therapy is used to treat this condition by destroying some of the leaking vessels. This treatment can only be used in a minority of cases.

Regular eye examinations allow optometrists to look for signs of ARMD as well as other eye diseases such as glaucoma and cataracts. Optometrists can also help patients with signiďŹ cant vision loss by prescribing magnifying devices or low vision aids. You owe it to yourself and others to have regular eye examinations.

New playground for Bayside Devon MacKenzie News staff

Students at Bayside middle school will have a new way to burn off energy come fall.

The Saanich school district received $50,000 of funding to replace and improve the school’s playground equipment.

The money comes from the final instalment of an $8 million playground funding commitment made

by Premier Christy Clark and Education Minister George Abbott last September. “We weren’t expecting it and we weren’t looking for it so we are really thrilled,� said Bayside middle school principal Shirley Elm. “We definitely need more equipment. Some of our stuff is getting

really old, especially the equipment around the side of the school, so we’re really excited.�

Before the school knew they had been granted the funds, the parent advisory council had discussed starting a savings fund to replace the existing aging playground equipment.

Bayside middle school administration expects the improvements won’t benefit only their students, but also the many community members that use the school property on evenings and weekends. “Whenever I come here on weekends there’s always people using the field and the equipment, which makes me so happy. So it isn’t just us that will benefit from this, it’s the community as well,� said Elm. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

A Brentwood Bay veteran is heading to London, England by way of Ottawa for the unveiling of the new Bomber Command Memorial at the end of this month.

Ken Brind, a Second World War Bomber Command veteran, is travelling to London to join Veterans Affairs Minister Steven Blaney, who is leading a delegation of 40 to the ceremony.

During the Second World War, while the Royal Air Force Fighter Command defended the United Kingdom against aerial attacks, it was the role of the Bomber Command to attack the enemy’s mili-

tary strength by bombing key targets.

The unveiling of the memorial will be done by none other than Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. “I’m very excited,” said Brind, who will be joined by three generations of family on the trip. “I don’t expect to meet anyone I know, but I’ll see people who shared many of the same experiences I did and that will be wonderful.”

The group of Bomber Command veterans, many of whom are over 90 years old, departed Ottawa yesterday and will attend the unveiling ceremony tomorrow, June 28.

During the trip, they will meet with fellow veterans from Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

The Canadian government contributed $100,000 toward the creation of the memorial, which is located in London’s Green Park.

In the village of Alboume, England on Oct. 17, 1922 Ken was born to William and Emily Brind, the eldest of their three sons. Educated at St. Michael’s School and Marlborough Grammar School, he entered the Royal Air Force on Jan. 31, 1940. Trained as an air navigator, he flew a tour of operations with 626 Squadron, Bomber Command. After the war he continued as a navigator instructor, fighter controller, unit commander and administrative officer. He transferred to the RCAF in 1955 and served until his retirement from military service in 1968. He and his wife Mary have five children and nine grandchildren.

On Nov. 7, 1943 No. 626 Squadron, “To strive and not to yield” had been formed from “C” Flight of

OUR VIEW

Children lose in labour fight As in any non-decisive battle between implacable foes, both sides are claiming victory after a Labour Relations Board decision this month.

LRB vice-chairwoman Ritu Mahil ruled the B.C. Teachers’ Federation didn’t authorize an illegal strike by directing members to refrain from “activities which occur outside of class When both sides time/instructional hours and are truly win, they must voluntary and extra-curricular.” both lose as well The decision means teachers have the right to withdraw their participation in voluntary extra-curricular activities.

It’s a win for teachers, says BCTF president Susan Lambert, because it clarifies the distinction between voluntary and non-voluntary extracurricular activities.

Summoning the wisdom of Solomon in the middle of an especially tense B.C. labour relations showdown, Mahil also ruled that teachers have to participate in after-hours things that are part of their work duties.

This includes parent-teacher interviews, district committee meetings, school-based team meetings and Ministry of Education initiatives.

So, it’s also a victory for the B.C. government and the B.C. Public School Employees’ Association, which filed an LRB complaint claiming the union went on strike illegally in March.

Of course, if both sides partially won, they also partially lost, but let’s not dwell on the optics of the public relations spin cycle.

There are more important issues at stake.

One of which is what to do with a new school year that is only three months away.

The LRB ruling helps, but to avoid the uncertainty and disruption that plagued this school year, both sides must remember what’s best for students.

waiting continues to demand an “action plan” on poverty, with annual goals. All the progressive provinces have one, which I guess is why poverty is all but eradicated in enlightened places like Manitoba.

There are signs of the reality behind this political smokescreen.

Here’s one.

For what may be the first time in history, we now have a North American society where one of the most reliable indicators of poverty is obesity. This often gets explained away with a popular theory that poor people are somehow forced to eat fast food and drink pop because they can’t afford healthy food.

People who advance this theory presumably don’t do much grocery shopping. There are plenty of processed, sugary, fat-laden choices at the supermarket too. But there is also whole wheat bread, rice and fresh or frozen vegetables that are as cheap as anywhere in the world.

Given basic cooking skills and some effort, it’s easy to demonstrate which diet is cheaper as well as healthier. Most immigrants know this. Which diet you choose isn’t a function of money, but rather one of education and self-discipline.

There is genuine poverty in our society. One of the things that’s needed is a useful way to define it.

Dollar signs are behind Sidney’s zoning bylaw The abuse of power and process in this country has reached epidemic proportions. It is endemic and widespread. It is frequently practised by the federal government, the provincial government, the police, even parts of the clergy, businesses and corporations, and unfortunately, also by local government.

The prevailing mindset of power seems to be “let’s do it anyway, we can get away with it and if anybody objects we can make it so difficult, time consuming and expensive for them they will give up.” It is clearly the attitude of the Harper government relative to the tar sands development and environmental protection in general. The provincial government is little better, they perhaps learned a small lesson

with the HST, but the embarrassment has obviously quickly worn off, and the explosive feelings around Sidney bylaw 2015 is apparently another example.

The reason for this seemingly universal dismissive attitude to the electorate or clients is not difficult to uncover or understand.

The old adage “follow the money” pretty well sums it up. It is my opinion that the bylaw fiasco in Sidney has been largely brought about by unrelenting pressure on council from developers and business interests. Greed and self interest will always win out, it is the way of our species.

Sidney council has not been blameless either. While communications with the affected may have met the letter of the law, they did not meet its spirit.

Sprucing up the entrances to Sidney with new apartment and condominium buildings (read: money) will attract more visitors and residents (money again) and more building will bring in more taxes (still money).

The bureaucracies and organizations that essentially control our lives want and require a docile public easily led and convinced. Consumer units, who are simply “sheeple,” are what they really want. They definitely do not want a public that is analytically inclined and that takes issue with their decisions. Their lives and jobs are much easier if we are “sheeple.”

In the interest of fairness however, there are many people in all these powerful groups who genuinely want to do the right thing.

To these people we should say thanks and give them our support, as without them nothing in

Hull deserves support for slaughterhouse Re: Abattoir heat pits councillor versus staff (News, June 22) Murray Hull processed chickens and turkeys on his property for many years – humanely, safely and locally – until the provincial government changed its meat processing legislation a few years ago and shut him down. Daly’s comment that “until we know this guy (show some respect Coun. Daly, “Mr. Hull” or “this farmer” please) has a proper facility” seems to underestimate the amount of red tape and the number of government departments that have already been involved and have to be satisfied before the doors open.

If waste and wastewater management are a concern, I suggest we think laterally about the problem and recommend that Mr. Hull farm a large number of single-celled, anaerobic animals to help clean the water and waste on site and provide methane for heating the facility and water as a useful by-product.

As a small local poultry farmer, I very much look forward to being able to drive my 100 birds five kilometres to Hull’s new, properly licenced, humane abattoir, rather than drive over the Malahat at 5 a.m. 80 kilometres to near Duncan. We usually sell our chickens in less than 24 hours, so there definitely is demand on the Peninsula for locally grown, environmentally sound chicken and turkey. Let’s do what we can to make

We don’t claim that age gives you wisdom, but it does give you experience.

Seniors are an asset, not a liability to society. We have no desire to be put into expensive facilities where we can vegetate and wait to die. We want to fully participate, advocate on public issues, fulfill our responsibilities as citizens, and help to create a more civil society for our children and grandchildren.

Harper government eroding our values Re: Democracy wilting in Ottawa (Our View, June 20) That was the most polite way of saying the Harper government is screwing with Canadian values I have ever read.

At the top of the list of Canadian values, I believe, are caring for others and the environment.

They actually go hand in hand, because as we wrestled our nation out from the wilderness, supporting each other was a necessity. Today, many aspects of the internationally recognized characteristics of being Canadian

– things like universal health care and education, the protection of our food and the preservation of our diverse nature – are being threatened by a government hellbent on throwing the individual aside and opening the flood gates to profiteering of all we value.

Here in the Saanich Gulf Islands riding I may be preaching to the converted; speaking to those who saw the need for responsible government and ousted the smooth talking status quo. But a reminder to us all: voice your opinions, take action and be loud and clear.

Contact the (less than honourable) Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his puppet ministers, on a regular basis. It will indeed be a long few years and it is our responsibility to make it not end badly.

Good cause for parking that was unappreciated

The driving force should be to help seniors stay active, healthy and independent.

Too often, government programs treat symptoms rather than reach for the real goal. They put a cast on the broken leg, rather than working to prevent the fall.

They provide inadequate home care and home support services, forcing many seniors into residential care homes, or even acute care beds. It doesn’t make sense economically or socially.

Other countries have faced demographic shifts. We’re not the first. Their solutions are quite different from what we see here today. They focus on independence. Home care. Home support. Independent living arrangements. Opportunities for social

Rose Guedes and her five-year-old son Pearson in the playground of Little Paws Pre-School at the Victoria Friendship Centre. The playground features a dugout canoe and miniature big house to help promote awareness and knowledge of Aboriginal culture.

Taking Steps to Instill Cultural Pride It’s circle time at Little Paws Preschool in Saanich and it begins with a drum and a song.

“If we were to be attending a gathering in a big house, we’d be using masks and dancing and singing, so we try to incorporate as much of that into the preschool as we can,” said Leslie McGarry, culture and community liaison director for the Victoria Native Friendship Centre.

Located at the Friendship Centre, Little Paws features Aboriginal culture as the foundation of its curriculum and program and it welcomes the Aboriginal community.

“We encourage the parents and our elders to come in and share teachings from their generations about how things differ from 50 years ago,” said Margot Edwards, Little Paws Preschool director.

“I wasn’t able to grow up with a lot of traditional culture in my life so the cultural component is really nice because I feel like my daughter’s going to have that advantage,” said Jessica Bender-North, a Métis First Nation member.

“I never went to preschool but in kindergarten we never learned about our heritage or going out to watch salmon spawn and stuff like that,” said Jeff Lincoln, a Nisga’a First Nation member, “and to me, it’s really good that the children are gaining back what we never had when we were going to

school.”

There are 20 children in the class, ranging from three to five years old. First Nations children have first priority, and then it’s open to the community. As a foster mom for 23 years, that welcoming philosophy means a lot to France Cyr. “Being that I am Caucasian, coming here gives the First Nation children that I look after an opportunity to be close to their people and their culture,” said Cyr. With the focus on all Aboriginal cultures from the local territories to Cree, Ojibwa and others, Little Paws is bringing pride and self-esteem to the next generation.

“Many of them will step out and say, ‘I’m First Nations,’” said McGarry “Even if they are not clear about which territory they come from, there’s a sense of pride that’s instilled at this age level that carries through to school age.”

School age and beyond.

Tour de Victoria comes to Peninsula More than 1,000 people cycled up the Pat Bay Highway and through Sidney on Sunday, June 24 for the second annual Tour de Victoria.

Local cycling superstar Ryder Hesjedal, who won the Giro d’Italia this year and was selected for the Canadian Olympic cycling team, started the Tour de Victoria last year. Riders tackled 140-, 90- and 50-kilometre routes on Sunday under ideal weather conditions and came from across the country to do so.

Neil Davies was first to finish the 140 km route in three hours and 51 minutes.

In addition, Hesjedal’s pink jersey won at the Giro was auctioned off to a winning bid of $10,300.

NEWS REVIEW

B e your best this summer!

Lifestyle changes result from fitness program Devon MacKenzie News staff

“They rocked it!” is how fitness program assistant Michelle Bourgeois describes the success of the Be Your Best This Summer program participants.

The 12 week program, which comes to a close at the end of this month, was put on by Panorama Recreation Centre and the Peninsula News Review.

Participants Debbie Taylor, Shauna Johnson, Monique Huber, Melanie Kerr, Christy Day, Jennifer Verscheure, Colleen Baines and Michael Hall worked out twice a week with

the group (some did more on their own) and maintained a healthy lifestyle.

“This group has been making exceptional improvements in their health and well being,” said Bourgeois. “I’ve just seen so much improvement in their body awareness, self confidence, fitness knowledge – the gym can be a scary and intimidating place and I can say I don’t think any of them are scared of it anymore.”

In total, the group of eight lost 79.6 pounds and 60 inches over the 12 weeks. Program participant Jennifer Verscheure said she saw

exceptional results.

The mother of two lost nearly 30 pounds and 10 per cent body fat.

Verscheure said the program helped her gain confidence to continue such a lifestyle.

“The main difference for me with this program is that it made me realize how important it is to take exercising seriously. I have lost significant amounts of weight many times in my life, but now I feel like I have the tools of exercise and nutrition to keep me on track and I never thought I’d be someone who could achieve that on their own,” she said.

The most exciting

part was seeing her body transform.

“I was losing [pounds] as I had before, but I was noticing a completely different body. I was losing it in a different way,” she said.

One program participant had a major lifestyle adjustment during the program but amazingly stayed committed to the program, said Bourgeois.

“One of our participants, Michael Hall, the token male as we called him, he [and his wife] had a baby in the middle of the program and he still rocked it.”

Hall, who lost almost 10 pounds and 2.25 inches, said the biggest

Kerr, like Verscheure, said one of the most important tools she learned through the program was nutrition.

“I’ve learned a lot about eating right and made a huge improvement in my eating habits,” said Kerr. “I feel much more energetic from all the exercise, which in turn makes me exercise more, so it all works out pretty well.

I’m a great deal more confident in myself, not because I can notice a huge change in the mirror but because I know I’m doing something to change it.”

Participants in the program got to try out several different classes that are offered through Panorama.

Panorama plans to offer a similar program again in September for $175 for 12 weeks. Classes will run Sept. 26 to Dec. 15 and space will be limited to 10 participants. reporter@peninsulanews review.com

thing he learned from the program was the importance of establishing a routine.

“After working from home for a year I needed to adopt some new, healthier habits,” Hall said. “[Now] I feel better, I feel stronger and I’m more energetic.”

Be Your Best This Summer participant Melanie Kerr said the program boosted her motivation.

SPORTS No time for tea Countdown for Canada’s Londonbound Olympians Travis Paterson News staff

And away they go, almost.

The majority of the Victoria-based athletes heading to this summer’s Olympic Games were celebrated with the English flavoured Lift-off to London event, a theme fulfilled by the Fairmont Empress Hotel.

Some did the queen wave longer than others (swimmers) as the spirit of the event came alive when the group left the Ivy Ballroom for a group photo on a double-decker bus in front of the Empress.

The Olympics run July 27 to Aug. 12.

“It’s not long now, which is nice because this is the most exhaustive training block I’ve ever done,” said swimmer Alec Page.

The Victoria native has his days ahead figured out before he competes in the 400 individual medley on July 28.

“No easy ones until we get to London the week before the Games,” he said. That includes the internationally attended Canada Cup swim meet in Montreal, July 5 to 8.

Page is one of seven swimmers going to the London Olympics from the Victoria Academy of Swimming at Saanich Commonwealth Place. At 18, Page will be one year younger in London than Ryan Cochrane was in Beijing.

“I have a few Olympics ahead of me, that’s for sure.”

Lift-off to London opened with Wendy Pattenden, CEO of the Canadian Sport Centre Pacific, explaining that Greater Victoria-based athletes account for approximately 15 per cent of the Canadian Olympic squad.

“The goal is to finish among the top 12 nations,” she said.

Canada would be happy to beat its second best result from the Summer Olympics, which was seven golds and 18 medals in total from the 1992 Games in Barcelona.

Canada’s top finish was the 1984 Games in Los Angeles when it benefitted from the Soviet Union’s boycott, winning

Hockey girls clean up in Winnipeg tourney Four Peninsula girls are part of a gold-getting hockey team.

The Island Elite peewee spring ice hockey team picked up its second gold medal in two months after winning the North American Classic tourney in Winnipeg on June 10.

After coming out on top at the Challenge Cup in Vancouver in May, the girls lost their first game in Winnipeg against the Saskatchewan team, but rebounded with big wins against Calgary (8-1), Manitoba (6-0) and Alberta Extreme (8-0). Semifinal action saw the Elite up against Manitoba again, securing a 6-1 win for the Island girls.

The final game was a re-match against Saskatchewan, who beat the Elite in the first game.

After three hard-fought periods, the two teams were deadlocked at 1-1. Two intense overtime periods later, the Island Elite came out on top with a goal from Peninsula’s Lexxi Smith to win the team their the gold medal.

Drifting in late to the June 20 Liftoff to London event were members of the men’s eight boat.

The crew raced in from the ferry, returning directly from a rowing stint on Burnaby Lake.

Their absence from the formal introductions of the event was notable, and rightly so. They are the defenders of something precious, one of Canada’s three gold medals from the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

Their boat was recently featured in Maclean’s and Sportsnet magazines, among others, and gets more attention than any other boat.

Rob Gibson is one of six rowers

new to the crew since 2008 and is quick to complement coxswain Brian Price for handling the first wave of questions thrown at the team.

“We’re lucky to have Price and it’s good that he gets that focus,” Gibson said. “He doesn’t get enough of it.”

The men’s eight will be the centre of attention once again this week as Rowing Canada will officially confirm its Victoria-based Olympic crews at Elk Lake on Thursday. Among the many crews to be named are David Calder and Scott Fransden of the men’s pair (heavyweight), and Patricia Obee and Lindsay Jennerich of the women’s double (lightweight).

Canada Post will be on hand to release a commemorative stamp. sports@vicnews.com

With core changes happening to the Victoria Royals and the Victoria Grizzlies, and one of Saanich’s own getting drafted to the NHL, it’s like hockey season all over again.

In the span of three days, from June 20 to 22, Memorial Cup winner Marc Habscheid resigned as coach and general manager of the WHL Royals; B.C. Hockey League legend Bill Bestwick was appointed as coach and GM of the Grizzlies; the Vancouver Canucks selected Saanich’s Wes Myron in the sixth round (177th) of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft; and two Royals were also drafted, Steven Hodges to the Florida Panthers, in the

third round (84th) and Logan Nelson to the Buffalo Sabres in the fifth round (133rd).

Hodges joins a long line of Royals/ Chilliwack Bruins to be drafted, including a handful of Bruins who’ve dressed for NHL games, while Nelson wears the badge as the first player drafted from the Royals who didn’t play for Chilliwack.

For Myron, getting drafted to the NHL is an extension of his sensational start to the 2011-12 season with the Grizzlies.

If anything, the Lambrick Park grad should be seen as a poster boy for the benefits of a heavy offseason workout regime.

Myron was near the top of the BCHL in scoring when he left for a school tour of Boston University and other NCAA universities in October. He came back just in time to help Team Canada West win the World Junior A challenge in midNovember and then committed to Bos-

ton University.

A shoulder injury ended his season 26 games in and was the beginning of the end of the Grizzlies’ season. But the Canucks and Boston University saw enough of what they liked.

Habscheid’s resignation comes as a surprise. His family relocated to Victoria in 2011 so he could continue his role with the Royals, although he is not leaving the Royals family per se. He has taken an executive role as an advisor with GSL Holdings Ltd., which owns RG Properties Ltd. (owner of the Royals), Officepools.com, a successful hockey pool website, and the chain of Planet Ice community rinks in B.C. His successor will likely be named within a month.

Across town, local finance man Ron Walchuk took majority ownership of the Grizz and hired Bestwick. sports@vicnews.com

Students at Simon Fraser University campus in Burnaby. New loan rules which begin July 1 will tie repayment to income and dependents.

Repayment rules revised Provincial and federal governments adjust student loan repayment plans Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. and federal governments have relaxed some of the rules for student loan repayment, part of an integrated loan program in effect starting July 1.

The new repayment assistance plan allows for smaller payments for lower-income students, based on income, number of dependent children and the amount of student debt owed.

The program extends the repayment time and may allow forgiveness of the original loan amount.

A single parent with two children and an average annual income of $30,000 would see the minimum interest payment on a $20,000 student loan decrease from $228 to zero.

A student couple with two children, combined income of $50,000 and combined loans totalling $40,000 would see their minimum payments fall from $485 to $87.

Premier Christy Clark said the

new repayment rules will expand the number of B.C. students eligible for relief to 20,000, replacing strict income-based limits for loan repayment that didn’t reflect loan size or number of dependents.

“It’s going to be a really big benefit for people who might find themselves $1,000 over the eligibility line,” Clark said. “Just because you’re $1,000 better off in your gross income doesn’t mean it’s going to be a whole lot easier to pay everything back.”

The new repayment assistance plan also provides for forgiveness of some or all of the loan principal if students have dependents and their income stays low over time.

Students with a permanent disability can qualify for full loan forgiveness if they still can’t afford the full loan payment after 10 years.

B.C. student loans given out before Aug. 1, 2011 are automatically moved to the new national student loan system effective July 1.

Loan recipients are supposed to receive a new agreement with the terms of the integrated loan.

People with B.C. student loans in default can qualify for the integrated loan program by making at least six monthly loan payments in a row on their defaulted loan or repaying it in full. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Printmakers capture layers of history Kyle Wells News staff

To celebrate Victoria’s 150th anniversary a group of artists is using the medium that would have originally captured some of the city’s most well-recognized historic sites for all to see.

Fifteen artists with Ground Zero Printmakers visited seven historical sites in the city to make original artworks in a variety of printmaking mediums, such as etching, silkscreen and drypoint.

These prints will then be used in a series of handmade albums, one of which will be presented to the City of Victoria at the Oct. 25 council meeting.

That edition will go into the city archives.

Another copy will go to the library system for the public to access, another for Ground Zero’s own collection.

“So that the public can enjoy these prints for the next 150 years,” said Victoria Edgarr Ground Zero creative director and project contributor.

Printmaking is a form of artwork that uses a variety of materials, such as wood or metal, to make art that can be printed onto paper.

The process allows you to make many

Ground Zero Printmakers’ creative director Victoria Edgarr, left, watches as artist Gail Lamarche pulls a print (entitled Botanical Lesson at St. Annes) from a press at the Ground Zero workshop. nearly identical prints of the same piece of artwork.

Edgarr said that printmaking is a particularly apt artform to help commemorate Victoria’s history because it has been around as long as the city itself.

In the days before the mass use of photographs, artists would draw locations in the city and then engravers would use those images to make prints for newspapers and other print materials of the day.

Ground Zero launched the project

with an open air printmaking session at St. Ann’s Academy and have since visited the Rock Bay neighbourhood, Beacon Hill, Bastion and Centennial squares, the Chinese cemetery at Harling Point and Chinatown, Ground Zero’s ground zero.

“Every place tells you about the people who made it,” Edgarr said. “What was there before, what is there now, historically when those things were made and the assumptions of the people who made them.”

Beyond that, the artists are seeing the sites through their own experiences, influences and perspectives adding another layer of interpretation.

Edgarr said the experience has changed the way she looks at the city. Learning about the look of the city and how it developed influences her perspective as she walks its streets. “[You’re] really trying to relate it to the story of the place, the people that have lived here and that live here and that will live here.”

The albums will fea-

ture 15 to 20 pieces along with text from the artists describing each work.

While only a few albums are being produced, prints of individual works will be available to the public.

They invite the public to see the process of creating the prints during studio visits June 30, July 28 and August 11.

Ground Zero Printmakers, at 549 1/2 Fisgard St., third floor, will be open from noon to 5 p.m. those days. kwells@goldstream gazette.com

It has to be one of the nicest times of the year.

GWYNNE, William Donovan (Bill) June 27, 1922 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; June 6, 2012

Bill was born in Edmonton on June 27, 1922 to Percy and Elizabeth Gwynne (nee Colgate). He was predeceased by his mother in 1975, his father in 1994 (at 100) and a sister Joan in 1966. He learned to ďŹ&#x201A;y at the Edmonton Flying club prior to enlistment in the RCAF. Bill served in England, Malta, North Africa and Italy ďŹ&#x201A;ying Hurricanes and SpitďŹ res. Three days after his return to Canada, he married his childhood sweetheart Rita Sanderson on February 5, 1944. Following a posting to Bagotville P.Q. ďŹ&#x201A;ying the mighty Norseman, he joined TCA on July 2, 1946. He retired on July 31, 1977 with Air Canada. Bill and Rita spent many memorable seasons racing their thoroughbreds at Hastings Park in Vancouver and even more golďŹ ng between their homes in Kelowna and Indio, California. They moved to Sidney, B.C. in May of 2000.

Bill is survived by his loving wife of 68 years Rita, a son Don (George) and daughter Sandy (Dave) and their 3 grown children Morgan (Gary), Toby (Jon) and Chevy (Wendy). He is also survived by his great grandchildren Paige, Elise, Piper, Campbell, Declan, Rowan and Keira.

Sincere thanks to Dr.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s C. Cowan, D. Nagy, R. Cheung, J. Kaukinen, and R. Grimwood. Special mention to Julie and to Sharon Dash. Also a heartfelt thank you to all the staff at Parkwood Court for their kindness and care for dad in his ďŹ nal days.

At dads request there will be no service. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, a donation to the BC Cancer Foundation would be appreciated. Memories can be shared at www.earthsoption.com

EVEN MORE

We’ve expanded to recycle more electronics.

Peninsula Co-op supports students with annual awards Peninsula Co-op is committed to supporting youth, both through its employment of young people and their community outreach.

The Peninsula Co-op Student Awards program recognizes students’ academic efforts, athletic achievements, and community service. Intended to financially assist with post-secondary studies, the program invites active Co-op members and their immediate family to apply. Two awards will be presented in six categories, one of $1,500 and one of $1,000.

Deadline for applications is Aug. 31, 2012.

In addition, Peninsula Co-op has also established bursaries at Camosun College and the University of Victoria, with applications made directly to these institutions.

Giving back with Co-op With their active membership of more than 58,000 – and growing – Peninsula Coop shares their success with their memberowners and the communities they serve.

In addition to the $5.6 million distributed directly back to members in patronage rebates this fiscal year, Co-op also allocated approximately $400,000 through their Community Fund.

Supporting Southern Vancouver Island volunteers, community groups and events, over the last year Peninsula Co-op sponsored initiatives through Boulders Climbing Gym, Jeneece Place, KidSport Victoria, and lent their name and support to the Women’s League of Highlander’s Soccer.

In addition, the Co-op provides support to countless volunteers, non-profit clubs and community events through financial and inkind donations, plus more than 2,000 hours of staff volunteer time – building relationships and saying thank you to the communities.

resulted in a complete change of executive from president to secretary-treasurer.

Chris Abbott, 50, of Salt Spring Island was elected president, replacing Richard Goode, who was seeking his second term as president.

Jeremy Bryant was elected first vice-president, Shawna Walsh second vice-president and Kevin Lee secretary-treasurer.

The executive’s threeyear term began June 1 and Abbott said the vote showed membership was unhappy with previous board and looking for a change in direction.

Abbott received 978 votes to Goode’s 480, and he said while a twoto-one win is good, the low voter turnout was disappointing considering the union has 3,800 members around the province.

“That says to me we need to do more for our members and get out and speak to them a lot more than has been happening,” he said.

“We have to reconnect and re-engage them, especially in respect to young workers.”

A 22-year member with the union, Abbott worked as a deck hand on the Howe Sound Queen on Salt Spring Island. He was first vicepresident of the union in 2002. He described the relationship between the union and B.C. Ferries as concerning.

Abbott has met Michael Corrigan, B.C. Ferries CEO, on different occasions prior to the election and anticipates the two will have a civil, professional relationship.

“There will be challenges on the horizon and it takes two parties to negotiate. It can’t be a one-way street,” he said. editor@peninsulanews review.com
