Senior Games sweethearts

Decades of practice keeps Oak Bay couple going for the gold Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

Five decades together doesn’t dampen a partnership according to one Oak Bay couple. Betty and Gerry Emery started their table tennis pairing as high school

sweethearts at Mount Douglas secondary. “We play really well together. We’ve been married 57 years so we should have those things worked out now. We’ve had a lot of practice,” Betty said. She, however, has more gold medals from the 2012 B.C. Senior Games than Gerry does. Betty scored three golds, one alongside her husband, during the Games in Burnaby. Gerry earned a gold and a silver. Betty’s played table tennis since her childhood days of rumpus room ping pong, right through to three previous

Games. Now she’s among the 140 members in the Monterey 55-plus club. “I think there’s a waiting list to get in,” she said. The husband-wife team had a fan club at the games, with kids and grandkids gathering in the stands for the mixed pairs finals that went to five matches.

Keeping Terry’s dream alive Brittany Lee News staff

June Carver, left, and Jean Elliott try on a pair of hats from the selection that includes cowboy hats to toques at the Oak Bay United Church Thrift Shop.

Second-hand goods breed new stories Oak Bay church shop celebrates 30 years of filling a need Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

Jean Elliott’s mind is filled with tales from the thrift shop. She’s managed it for nearly 29 of its 30 years. “It’s a reason to get up in the morning,” she said with a chuckle. “It was the dream of Dena Wishart,” Elliot explained. Wishart brought the idea back from Hawaii and opened the first small incarnation of the Oak Bay United Church thrift shop in September 1982. “It started out small – six or eight ladies – and it was small transactions,” Elliott explained. A few years ago they added the annex and now have two sites filled with furniture, jewelry and everything in between. About 30 volunteers – the oldest is 94 – work the weekly shop that is open each Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. September through June. They also open the first

Saturday of the month 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. “There isn’t anything you couldn’t find here,” said June Carter, who manages the jewelry section of the operation that celebrates 30 years this September. “Besides selling, we do a lot of fellowship and outreach. We have people who come every Friday,” Elliott said. That’s part of where her tales come in. From widows seeking an inexpensive pretty thing to brighten a day – with a hug on the side – to youngsters seeking a cheap suit for an important job interview, they’ve seen it all. The volunteers

A place for everything Stuff that stays on the shelves, doesn’t. The Oak Bay United Church Thrift Shop regularly donates to the Compassionate Warehouse and a local women’s transition house. “Every week we send bags of clothes to Our Place,” said Jean Elliott, the shop manager. “Things that don’t sell well, we find a home for them,” agreed volunteer June Carter.

provide an ear to those boasting new babies or grandbabies, or lamenting a loss. “It just happens because we see the same people all the time,” Carter said. “The thing that rises to the top is how happy people are when they leave here. They come for a hug. One man comes and offers me a toonie just for a smile.” Donations come in through word of mouth and funds raised go back to the church. Oddities dropped off over the years include a fur-lined bedpan and a teeny black object that turned out to be a mosquito trap. “Customers have helped with the renovations,” Elliott said, of the 17-year project to renew the Oak Bay United Church. The renovations, completed a few years ago, added space for the shop as well. Now they fill the annex, boutique and on nice days spill out into the parking lot. At opening time, “I have to stand well back,” Elliott chuckled. The shop at 1355 Mitchell St. reopened Sept. 7. The 30th anniversary celebration, including cake and perhaps a tale or two for guests, is Sept. 14 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

Terry Fox set out on his Marathon of Hope more than 30 years ago with the goal to raise $1 from every Canadian for cancer research. Today, Fox’s dream has become a large part of what being Canadian is about, according to organizers of this year’s Terry Fox Weekend. “What Terry did in 1980 has become a part of the fabric of what makes us Canadian … it brought the country together so much that even today the impact is felt a lot,” says Darren Wark, Fox’s cousin. “By us doing these events it’s a matter of trying to continue that (dream).” Besides Wark’s direct relation to Fox, he became involved with the Terry Fox Weekend five years ago because of his children. “I realized I want my kids to be proud of me,” he says. “That’s the main driver for me, is my kids and my family.” This year Wark is pioneering An Evening Under the Stars with Terry Fox, a movie night on Saturday (Sept. 15) at Mile Zero. A free screening of the film Terry, starring Shawn Ashmore as Fox, will play at dusk for the public to learn more about Fox and what he did before losing his battle to cancer in 1981. “We’re just trying to provide another event where people can participate, (and) enjoy this location where the Terry Fox monument is,” says Graham Lamb, co-organizer of the Terry Fox Run with his brother Doug Lamb since 2005. The weekend also includes the sixth annual Terry Fox Great Canadian Hair Do. “You don’t have to be a runner to participate in any of these things,” Lamb adds. This year’s five-kilometre run starts at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday (Sept. 16). The route begins at Mile Zero, goes along Dallas Road to St. Charles Street, and back to Mile Zero. Last year’s Victoria run saw more than 1,000 participants, who helped collect roughly $27,000 of the total $40,000 raised. The Victoria Terry Fox Weekend has helped raise more than $300,000 for the Terry Fox Foundation in the past 11 years. Of each dollar donated, 84 cents goes directly to cancer research. For more information about the weekend or to register for the run or hair do, see terryfox. org or call 1-888-836-9786. editor@vicnews.com

Weekend events ■ The Terry Fox Weekend kicks off with the Sept. 15 movie night, starting at dusk, followed by the sixth annual Terry Fox Great Canadian Hair Do and 32nd annual Terry Fox Run on Sept. 16.

Smoking rules adrift in a haze Hookah pipes skirt regulations; chief medical officer issues health warning

Oak Bay Coun. Tara Ney shows off the electric car she’s been driving around Oak Bay and Victoria lately, in a parking lot near the University of Victoria.

Plugging in to electric cars Laura Lavin News staff

Oak Bay councillor Tara Ney is attracting plenty of attention lately. She’s not thumping her chest in council or making big waves politically; no, she’s driving an electric car. She spotted the little gas saver at the Oak Bay Car Show and spoke to the dealer about taking a test drive. Instead, she got herself a temporary loan of the Global Electric Motorcar (GEM) from ForeverGreen Electric Cars in Parksville. The low speed vehicle has seating for four, hits a top speed of 40 kilometres an hour and goes as far as 48 kilometres on a charge. “It’s a little putter,” said Ney, describing the vehicle. “It takes me an hour to do a quick errand – everybody is stopping me to ask about it.” Ney said “people love it,” especially women. “They all say, ‘I want one.’”

What Ney wanted was to get the feel of driving an electric vehicle. She found the small car has advantages as well as disadvantages. “I thought it would help me understand how they work, where the challenges are and what we need to do if we want to (encourage) that kind of car on our roads.” While the municipality of Oak Bay was the first in the province to allow low speed electric vehicles on its streets – approving them in 2008 – other municipalities are just getting into the trend. “It’s a challenge. Oak Bay, Esquimalt and Colwood are the initial three that passed a bylaw,” said ForeverGreen sales manager Mark Beuerman. The city of Victoria passed a bylaw allowing the low speed electric vehicles on its roads in May of 2010 and just renewed the bylaw for two years. “It would be nice if other municipalities or the CRD would get on board,” said Beuerman.

“It would make it easier to get from one place to another.” While Ney is enjoying the gasfree ride, and getting regular ‘thumbs-up’ from other motorists, she has run into some problems with the little car. “I have been stuck without a plug-in,” she said. Ney, who works at the University of Victoria, was surprised to find there is nowhere to charge the 110volt vehicle at the university. “I called BCAA and they didn’t know what to do,” she added. She finally found a plug at a nearby church. “It speaks to the way we should set electric charging stalls up,” she said, noting larger electric vehicles require 220-volts. Ney said the reaction she’s receiving is indicative of a desire for alternative transportation in the region. “People waving and honking says a lot to me. People are waiting for something like this.” editor@oakbaynews.com

Doobie-ous tax bill mellows out marijuana club Light the Night Canada Revenue hits medicinal marijuana provider with $150,000 HST bill Daniel Palmer News staff

A Victoria medicinal marijuana club is being forced to pay $150,000 in backdated taxes on its estimated $2.5 million in annual sales. Canada Revenue Agency began investigating the Cannabis Buyers’ Club of Canada and owner Ted Smith in early May, after he admitted in a B.C. Supreme Court case that he had not been paying taxes or employee deductions. “Honestly, I’m just happy I’m not

going to jail,” said Smith, who has operated the club for 16 years in Victoria. “In a way, this is kind of a step towards legitimacy for us.” Smith won the court case in April, which struck down a section of federal regulations that made the sale of edible marijuana and other products to medicinal users illegal. As part of his evidence, he admitted the club had been avoiding tax payments. “The police actually took that judgement to the CRA and they started investigating me from there,” Smith said, adding he will pay the tax bill out of his own pocket and separate himself from future club business. “I’m going to be left with this mortgage-like debt, but the club’s not

going to be affected,” he said. Smith is currently in the final stages of appointing a board of directors with the intention of converting the club into a non-profit society. Two committees on incorporation and finance are already working to ensure the new organization operates completely within the law, Smith added. “We’ll be a lot more transparent, a lot more accountable. It’s a step we’ve been looking to do for a long time,” he said. “I can live with a $150,000 debt. But I haven’t done anything criminal here at all, I’ve just not been in compliance.” Smith hopes to use some proceeds from his recently published book, Hempology 101: The History and Uses of Cannibis Sativa, to help pay the massive tax bill. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Individuals and families needing assistance with legal matters will soon have a onestop-shop to access the justice system in Victoria. Attorney General Shirley Bond announced a $1.5 million investment to create a Justice Access Centre within the Victoria Law Courts, where people attempting to navigate the justice system have access to a multitude of support, knowledge and information. â€œWhen youâ€™re trying to sort out how to deal with matters like child custody issues, or divorce, property issue, or debt, it can be an emotional and pretty stressful period of time,â€? Bond said. She said one of the goals of the new centre is â€œfinding ways to resolve problems that donâ€™t necessarily require

Victoria hotel bilked of $42,000 A former Victoria hotel employee is facing fraud charges after nearly $42,000 worth of unusual transactions on the hotelâ€™s dime were traced to her personal bank account. The 28-year-old Victoria woman worked as a financial controller for an unnamed downtown hotel, and allegedly diverted $41,495 from the company to her account over a 13-month period beginning in May 2010. â€œIt was uncovered during an audit at the hotel. They discovered some of these irregularities, and took further notice that it all seemed to involve her,â€? said Victoria Police Department spokesperson Const. Mike Russell. In total, police say the fraud involved 40 transactions where â€œunusual and high-dollar refundsâ€? were administered. Even after the fraudulent transactions were

detected, Russell said the woman accessed the hotelâ€™s accounts remotely and made additional withdrawals. Stephanie Andrews was arrested on July 24 and faces one charge of fraud over $5,000, a Victoria police spokesman said. editor@vicnews.com

tre, set to open in fall 2013, is a partnership with the University of Victoria, as its law centre will be co-located on the site, at 850 Burdett Ave. â€œThe creation of Victoriaâ€™s new Justice Access Centre, and its co-location here with our law centre will improve

access to justice,â€? said Donna Greschner, dean of UVicâ€™s faculty of law. â€œAccess to justice is one of the critical issues of the day, and this new centre will go a long way towards improving access to justice for people in Victoria who otherwise would not be able to get the legal help that they need.â€? The law centre is the clinical legal program for law students to assist people who canâ€™t afford a lawyer,â€? added Bond. â€œThis opens the door to new opportunities for collaboration, and our goal is the same. We want to find better ways to serve individuals and families in the Capital Region.â€? Two Justice Access Centres operate in Nanaimo and Vancouver.

Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

How well does your child see? Parents are often surprised when I tell them that children should have their eyes examined around their third birthday. At this age however, many problems can be detected and timely treatment started. If an infant or toddler has an obvious problem, the parents should not hesitate to have the childâ€™s eyes examined even earlier. Children with vision problems may not complain. Blurred or double vision can seem normal if one has never known anything else. Sometimes a child may only be using one eye with the other not functioning properly; even though it appears to be normal. An eye may be â€œlazyâ€? (amblyopic) even if it doesnâ€™t seem to turn in or out. Treatment for amblyopia is far more effective if undertaken well before the childâ€™s seventh birthday. Parents can watch out for signs of vision problems even in very young children: Rubbing the eyes, holding objects too close, tilting the head or an unusual lack of coordination are some of the warning symptoms. Children do not need to know the alphabet to be examined. Optometrists can use pictures, symbols and toys to help examine toddlers. The emphasis is usually on â€œfast and funâ€? in these cases. After the initial visit, annual checks are recommended as childrenâ€™s eyes change as they grow. Here in British Columbia, a program for preschool children called â€œVision First Checkâ€? has just started. Ask your optometrist for further details and set up appointments for any children who have not had a recent examination.

OUR VIEW

Tax on medical pot no joke for users When a club that sells medical marijuana completely spaces out on paying $150,000 in income taxes, stoner jokes aren’t far behind.

But for the thousands of people who use marijuana to ease chronic pain from illness and side effects of legal medication, the possibility of losing ready access to medical pot doesn’t bring out the giggles. Leon “Ted” Smith and his Victoria-based Cannabis Buyers’ Club of Canada has sold marijuana products for 16 years to thousands of people who can prove they have certain permanent diseases or chronic ailment. Smith admits in the media and on his website that he’s avoided paying taxes to the Canada Revenue Agency for years and wrote: “(I) assumed I would end up in jail for it.” This kind of sloppy bookkeeping does little to improve the public image of selling or using medical marijuana. Hopefully this won’t undo the good work Smith has done helping suffering people and challenging ethically-dubious laws that snares marijuana in a grey area of legality. Indeed, among the number of court cases involving Smith and the CBCC, this year a trial involving the CBCC’s head baker had restrictive parts of federal medical marijuana law deemed unconstitutional. This is typical of laws that try to have it both ways. Health Canada allows people to purchase and/or grow marijuana for medical purposes, which is a tacit admission that marijuana can help some sick people – while the agency discourages its use. Doctors in B.C. can prescribe marijuana, but the doctors’ college discourages that due to legal liability and a lack of scientific studies. Sick people having some access to pot is better than none, but inconsistent messages from health authorities and the federal government opens the door for advocates such as Smith to operate businesses that are effectively illegal. As Smith noted, out of his tax troubles the club will become a non-profit, run by a board. This is good news for the many legitimate pot users in this city who don’t have to risk the dangers of buying from dealers on the street. What do you think?

This is more than just a nuisance, because local emergency services are obliged to respond to every call they get. And mobile phones can’t be traced to their location with any precision, creating time-consuming searches that weaken response to real emergencies. Other resolutions tackle complex and important issues, such as the effect of hydro development on municipal water supplies. But alas, most will be lost in the convention noise, overshadowed by political posturing over matters best left alone. Last year’s convention featured the low comedy of delegates voting with wireless devices to condemn smart meters, after displaying their ignorance of the subject. This year, in addition to factually challenged railing about oil tankers, there will be a tough stance taken against shark fin soup, which will no doubt strike fear into the Chinese fishing fleet. Once delegates vote themselves more taxpayers’ money to run this show, perhaps they should keep their grandstanding to a minimum. –Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Time traveller Oak Bay Archive volunteer Alan McKinlay sorts through a collection of receipts, cheques and vouchers from the early 1900s. The records include the names of municipal workers and their salaries. Teachers were paid $40 a month and the workers building the roads, $3 a day. The collection was originally rescued in the 1950s from the Halloween Bonfire at Firemans Park by Ainslie Helmcken and Barry McLung who took it to an auction where it was bought by and returned home to Oak Bay by archivist Jean Sparks.

Readers respond: Liquor privatization, CRD website, ICBC, fire ants Rationale still unclear for liquor privatization

CRD website project burdens taxpayers

Re: B.C. liquor laws finally effective (B.C. Views, Aug. 15) One thing that Tom Fletcher and other media have failed to do is fully inform the public about the financial case for privatizing the warehousing and distribution branch of the Liquor Control Branch. The B.C. Liberals have certainly not been called to proper account on this issue. Forget about the union angle; this monopoly provides B.C.’s coffers with a hefty income. Why do the Liberals, our “free enterprise” party, want to sell off this asset? Even B.C.’s craft beer industry folks have questioned this proposal and they are the small business people who help create employment. Who will benefit from such a sale? Friends and insiders? I look forward to an in-depth article on this issue, soon, in one of Mr. Fletcher’s columns. Pat McGuire Victoria

More than $287,000 for the Capital Regional District to update its website. This is nonsense. You mean to tell me the over-paid CRD staff can’t do this in-house, with the insane amount of money we already grant it? Please disband this unneeded, unloved, unwanted CRD and its evil twin the Vancouver Island Health Authority and give us some governance. Robert P. Nicholas View Royal

Are we loaning our money to ICBC?

Fletcher should get his facts straight

Just after the new year ICBC imposed an 11.2 per cent increase on premiums anticipating that the British Columbia Utilities Commission would approve it. The approval was due in the spring, possibly June at the latest. It is now almost mid-September and we have yet to hear whether or not the BCUC has approved the increase. If they do not (which is highly unlikely) then ICBC will have to refund that

Use natural predators to stop invasive species I know the problem with fire ants in North America is that their natural predators are not here. If you want to get rid of a foreign species you can try getting chickens. They will eat anything that moves naturally, so don’t feed them but make sure they have lots of water. If there is a toxin in the ants that builds up and kills or harms the chickens, you may have to change them out with replacements until they get cleaned out naturally. Chickens are worth a try as introducing a species that does not belong in the environment may lead to other problems. Richard Dale Dalton Victoria

Party time idea still going strong in Langford A year removed from 15 years operating a successful dollar store in Langford, Paul and David Scotthorne of Party Crashers are continuing to grow their business in the West Shore community.

The first shoe was found at 4:30 p.m. “I absolutely believe there is a connection between all of them. … I’m able to establish a timeline and we feel that these were probably dropped of within an hour of when this (first) one was located,” Beauvais said. “I

Detectives are investigating the case as public mischief. Conviction of public mischief charges carries up to a five-year prison sentence. Police are asking anyone with information on the shoes or the hoax to call VicPD at 250995-7444 or Crime Stoppers 1-800-222-TIPS. kslavin@saanichnews.com

They’re back, they’re bigger Rams football ranked No. 4 in Canada Travis Paterson News staff

The Mount Douglas Rams are hoping to come back big bigger and stronger after winning the provincial AAA football championship. If anyone can do it, it’s these guys. “We want to win it again but everybody knows about us now, we’re not under the radar,” said running back Mason Swift. The key to the Rams success is no secret. Last year Swift and Terrell Davis formed a deadly attack out of the backfield. Once Swift recovered from injury for the final stretch of the season, the opposition couldn’t stop the Rams running game. This year should be similar. Substitute Terrell, who has moved on to the NCAA’s Arizona Sun Devils, for younger brother Marcus Davis (Grade 11). Swift is returning for his Grade 12 season while being scouted by NCAA Div. 1 teams, and quarterback Ashton MacKinnon (Grade 11) is also ready to break out. And they’re all tucked away, ready to explode from behind an offensive line comparable in size to Mount Doug itself. “It’s such a huge line,” Swift said. “It’s going to be a different style of play from last year, and not having

Terrell will put a bit more of the load on my shoulders, but it shouldn’t be too different.” Man-mountain Christian Krause (Grade 11), at 6-foot-4, 320 lbs., leads an offensive line with six players over 235 lbs each, plus another three to draw on, of which Sasha Shurvin is the smallest at 6-foot-3, 190 lbs. Not to mention MacKinnon, who at 6-foot-6, 200 lbs, will have no problem seeing over them. As the starting junior quarterback last season, the Grade 11 also dressed for most of the senior games, including Travis Paterson/News staff the Subway Bowl AAA final, in which the Rams overcame a Quarterback Ashton MacKinnon and running back Mason Swift are ready to lead the Mount 22-point deficit to defeat the Doug Rams to another AAA football championship.

Wolves howl to first win VIJHL hockey Travis Paterson News staff

A single goal is all the Westshore Wolves needed to win its first game in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League last week. The Wolves shutout the Kerry Park Islanders 1-0 on a goal by Clay Carson, the first ever for the franchise. “It was nice to start it off like that,” said captain Josh Bloomenthal, formerly of the Peninsula Panthers. “We’re confident, we like the core we have, and we’ve still got a few more pieces coming. I can’t say enough good things about (coach-GM) Vic Gervais.” On Sunday the Wolves faced its first major test, the
