No roots, no fruit Archival exhibit stems from personal research Tim Collins News staff
Ben Clinton-Baker is passionate about history. He is currently completing a masters thesis in history at the University of Victoria and in 2002 he travelled to the United Kingdom in search of his own family history, a quest that led him as far “These back as the 1800s and records of the then beyond to his fampast are priceless. ily’s roots in the Norman settlements of Great … They truly Britain. represent our “I didn’t quite find any royalty in my family heritage.” tree, but it was close,” - Ben Clinton-Baker says Clinton-Baker with a smile. “I wanted to know where I came from, how my family came to the British colony on Vancouver Island from the UK. It was a search for my own roots.” Roots are very important to Clinton-Baker, in fact that’s the name of his upcoming exhibit at the Oak Bay Municipal Hall. The ‘Roots’ exhibit is comprised of a series of archival photos, explanatory text panels and representative artifacts of a bygone agricultural period in Oak Bay. While many of the photos are from the Oak Bay Archives, some have come from private collections. “It’s amazing what people have out there. These records of the past are priceless. … They truly represent our heritage.” Clinton-Baker has worked tirelessly to help preserve that heritage in other ways as well. He is a member of both the Oak Bay Heritage Commission and the Heritage Foundation. PLEASE SEE: Future is built on the past, Page A5

Helping with life’s changes and challenges From phone calls with lonely seniors to help with colicky infants, volunteers do it all Tim Collins News staff
On Sept. 19, the Oak Bay Volunteer Services will host an event to mark its 35th year of serving the Oak Bay community. The celebration will include entertainment, refreshments and a chance to meet and thank the people who make the work of the agency possible. And, according to the volunteers and clients of the agency, that work deserves the recognition. The short version mission statement of the Oak Bay Volunteer Services reads: “To provide one-to-one outreach volunteer services to help people of all ages maintain and improve quality of life.” The reality of the challenges involved in delivering those services belies the simplicity of the statement. Last year Oak Bay Volunteer Services provided drivers for more than 1,600 outings by individuals who otherwise would have had no way to get to where they needed to go. The agency prepared nearly 100 tax returns for low income individuals needing help. They also did home maintenance odd jobs, worked in gardens, went for walks with clients, did home visits and made “reassurance phone calls.” Volunteers helped clients with their shopping, visited shut-ins, helped young mothers deal with difficult child rearing situations and performed a litany of other services for people who needed help. That’s what Oak Bay Volunteer Services does; and they’ve been doing it for the past 35 years. The client list of the organization tends to be on the shady side of 65 years of age, but they have had clients who are much younger. Joan Halvorsen, the group’s executive director, recalled one client who was six weeks old. “I suppose the client was actually the mother,” Halvorsen said. “Although we like to call that infant our youngest client on record.” The child had severe colic and the agency sent in a volunteer to help the family through the trying time. “It was a change in their world that they weren’t prepared to handle,” said Halvorsen. That tends to be the pattern for the clients of Oak Bay Volunteer Services as their clients are often individuals who have had profound changes in their lives.
someone who’s lonely,” said Hurlburt. “Some people get so isolated. … It’s not right.” Hurlburt remembers one occasion when a lady in her 90s, who was still living in her home alone, called him on Christmas Eve to tell him that her water heater had burst and that her basement was filling with water. Hurlburt helped her with the situation and found that his own Christmas was a little more meaningful as a result. Julie Longo is a more recent addition to the ranks of the agency’s volunteer base. She’s an occupational therapist by trade but wanted to acknowledge her own good fortune in life by giving back to the community she loves. So last May, Longo googled “volunteering in Oak Bay” and found herself drawn to the work of Oak Bay Volunteer Services. She was assigned a client and now Longo picks up “a lovely elderly woman” and together they drive to her client’s favourite walking trail; an area that had become impossible for the woman to get to without help. “We walk for about an hour and a half Submitted photo and then we just sit and talk,” said Longo. Oak Bay resident John Hurlburt has volunteered with Oak Bay Volunteer Services “In the end, I think I get as much out of for more than 25 years. the relationship as the lady I’m helping,” she said. “She has these fascinating It might be a new addition to the family stories of her life and they really give me requisite skills is available. “That isn’t the or, for the elderly, it could be that they a different perspective on things that I’d business we’re in, so we stay away from begin to experience confusion or memory never otherwise have.” being something we were never intended loss.

The Heritage Foundation serves to promote the preservation of not just the bricks and mortar of significant heritage buildings but extends its mandate to the cultural and natural heritage of the area as well. It even makes some funding available for a portion of conservation work expenses. The commission is a body appointed by the municipal council and advises on heritage and archive management issues. “My interest in Oak Bay’s heritage was really sparked by conversations that I had with my grandfather about what the municipality was like when he was a boy,� says Clinton-Baker. “He was born and raised here and he remembers walking from Cadboro Bay Road to Willows Beach and crossing nothing but open fields of farmland.� Things have changed since then, but his grandfather’s stories had an impact. “My grandfather inspired me,� says ClintonBaker. “It’s not that he’s necessarily nostalgic for those times, but he gave me an appreciation of the value of knowing our history. He taught me that heritage is a fundamental pillar of the community – any community for that matter.� It’s a lesson that Clinton-Baker has taken to heart and one that he is trying to instill in others. “It’s important that we discover and appreciate the heritage sites that remain,� he says. “Sometimes we can have something right in front of us without having an appreciation of its significance.�

Without strong roots in the past, we’ll never bear fruit in the future,� says Clinton-Baker. Further information on Oak Bay’s archives can be found at heritageoakbay.ca. reporter@vicnews.com

ALS walk this Sunday Annual fundraising event supports ALS patients in region Brittany Lee News staff
For Shanna Juszko, the hardest part about losing her mother is not being able to hear her voice. “I used to talk to her three times a day,” Juszko says. Juszko’s mother, Dianna Goffin, died from amyotrohpic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, in July after a seven-month battle with the disease. “For me, it’s (remembering her) every day. I wake up in the morning and think, ‘Oh, I haven’t talked to mum in awhile, I should call her.’ “Then I realize …” she says, her voice softening as her eyes grow damp. ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a fatal neuromuscular disease. It attacks the body’s nerves, used to send messages from the brain to the muscle. Gradually, those diagnosed with ALS lose all mobility, including the ability to speak, swallow and breathe. However, the brain often remains
healthy and alert. The average life expectancy for people diagnosed with ALS is three to five years. Born in Comox, Dianna was an active 64-year-old loved hockey, golfing and knitting. “She just loved life, and travelling, and spending time with family and friends,” her daughter says. After retiring, Dianna and her husband, Bob Goffin spent time travelling together. This past winter, their trip was cut short. Shortly after leaving their home, Dianna knew something was wrong. “Her muscles were twitching and she just generally didn’t feel all that great,” Juszko recalls. By the end of November, the Goffins returned to Saanich, convinced by their daughter to stay with her. Dianna was diagnosed with ALS on Dec. 5, 2011. “She was really angry. And for the first little while (asked), ‘Why me? Why did this happen to me?’” Justzko says. By January, Dianna learned to let go of the anger, and started enjoying the time she had left with her family. The Goffins even hosted a family barbecue at their home
the night before Dianna died. “We didn’t realize it was going to be that fast,” Juszko says. “She actually came outside and sat with everybody for the barbecue.” On July 10, Dianna’s breathing got worse. And within 45 minutes she died with her family by her side. Juszko, her father, and almost 30 family members and friends will be participating in the Victoria Walk for ALS on Sunday, in memory of Dianna. It’s their first year walking to raise funds for the ALS Society of B.C. – which goes towards equipment and support for families affected by ALS, as well as research to finding a cure. Besides supporting the Goffin family, the society also provided Dianna with much needed equipment and care, which costs an average $137,000 per patient. The Victoria Walk for ALS takes place Sunday, Sept. 16, 12:30 p.m. in Lot 6 at the University of Victoria. The walk around Ring Road starts at 1 p.m. Last year’s event raised $28,000. This year, organizers aim to raise $35,000. To register for this year’s walk, go to walkforals.ca. editor@saanichnews.com

OUR VIEW
Walking on thin ice The Canadian government has routinely been criticized for not being aggressive enough in curbing greenhouse gas emissions. Now a University of Victoria report shows Arctic permafrost is thawing and billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide, previously unaccounted for, is being released into the atmosphere, helping raise global temperatures. This news comes on the heels of a report from the National Snow and Ice Data Centre which found that the Arctic sea ice cover melted to its lowest since 1979 last month. What these two things have in common is that they are both caused by global warming – along with natural weather patterns – and both increase global warming. The warming trend in turn creates strange and devastating weather patterns including tornadoes in Brooklyn, droughts in Texas and flooding everywhere from Pakistan to Montreal. These severe weather events cause billions of dollars in damage, not to mention hundreds of thousands of deaths each year. In 2011, the cost of weather disasters worldwide was an estimated $150 billion. Scientists are now reporting that severe weather events that usually occur every 50 to 100 years are appearing in shorter cycles. Our warmer atmosphere creates heat waves, more water evaporation from the oceans adds up to heavier rainfall, rising winds occur and atmospheric chaos ensues. These dramatic weather events are another indication that global warming is real and all levels of government need to take it seriously. The federal Liberal government that agreed to the Kyoto Protocol to restrict greenhouse gas emissions, lacked the enthusiasm to meet its targets and since the Conservative takeover, the level of apathy has risen to new heights. The Harper government decided it would never meet the targets so why try? Perhaps the steady erosion of Canada’s Arctic is reason enough. As the ice and permafrost melt, and the water rises, Canada will no longer have to worry about Arctic sovereignty as there will be no Arctic land mass left to protect.
Canada’s Arctic sovereignty may be threatened

checks and balances or common sense, they soak the taxpayers. There’s no accountability and worse yet, there’s no conscience. Their arrogance is what makes people mad. Let’s not forget Conrad Black and his inflated ego and wallet. For us, who pay their wages, the anger doesn’t come because we want to get all those goodies for ourselves, but it’s the incredible sense of entitlement from these stuffed shirts (male and female). What makes people angry is that our taxes keep going up and our quality of life keeps going down, not even keeping up with the rate of inflation. Those who milk the system should be exposed and no public entity should hire them if they are caught with their hands in the public purse. But they do go on and land new jobs and double dip if they can. Their sense of entitlement remains. They have lost touch with what it is like for the average working stiff. They are above it all. This is exactly why countries like Greece, Italy and Spain are faltering and failing economically. Their civil service is bloated and it is exploding. Civil servants there believe they have a right to a job for life once they get into the employ of the government. The scary thing is it could easily happen here.

LETTERS After 44 years here, deer are the intruders Please, whoever is in a position to do it – please relieve us of the four-legged pests that are causing so much pain to the region’s gardeners and farmers. When we moved into our Saanich home 44 years ago, we were in a semi-rural area with horse pastures and greenhouses all around. There were no deer. We prepared an area for a vegetable garden and were successful in raising delicious produce. For nearly forty years we were free of deer. One morning this week there were four of them in our yard, munching on the new growth on the raspberry canes. And note that our neighbourhood is no longer rural. To those who would argue that the deer were here first I boldly proclaim that they were not here for the first 40 years of our residency. They are intruders. Please, do something to get rid of them. Robert McCue Saanich
Columnist wades deep into manure Re: Separating oil from manure (B.C. Views, Sept. 5) Thanks Tom Fletcher for another well-researched column about oil and manure. Surely, the merits of the refinery talk have advanced the debate over the Enbridge pipeline. In one simple way, the debate continues to advance deeper into the manure. Your global studies from nearly a decade ago, Andrew Weaver’s omniscient greenhouse gas theory regarding coal versus oil, and your CERA report on where fossil fuel emissions come from all fail to address the one truth that you mistakenly added to your article: “It’s not tankers and pipelines doing most of the polluting, it’s you and me.” Indeed, you and I are doing the polluting. The serious debaters here know this and that is the main point of contention. Since all of us seem unable to curtail our wasteful and stupendous exploitation of archaic energy sources then why continue to facilitate them? We dictate regulatory controls over “hard” drug use and many other social ills, and now some of us are wanting to put ourselves in rehab. It seems promoters such as yourself want to literally pipeline this product to new, larger and currently less-
addicted part of the globe. I have little doubt that you will succeed; I have a lot of hope that you won’t. Ryan Gisler Victoria
Privatization should lower liquor costs Re: Rationale still unclear for liquor privatization (Letters, Sept. 7) While working as a consultant on an engagement with the B.C. Liquor Distribution Branch in 1991, I had discussions about privatization with the BCLDB’s executive director. I was commissioned to investigate ways for the BCLDB to become more efficient in their role in the supply chain from importation to delivery of liquor to bars and retail outlets in the province. What became apparent immediately was that the government-run facility was adding little to no value while operating less efficiently and at a higher cost than private companies that specialize in warehousing and distribution. The hefty income that liquor sales provides to B.C. coffers, referred to by letter-writer Pat McGuire, comes from taxation, and it would continue to be payable to the province after privatization. The operational savings from lower warehousing and distribution costs after privatization would, in theory, be passed on to consumers. I was advised at the time that the idea of privatization was a non-starter due to the complications of dealing with a unionized workforce. If the government has finally found the political will to privatize liquor distribution while retaining its role as policy setter and tax collector, then we should expect improved service levels and lower costs from a supply chain managed by professionals. Robert Waters Victoria
Political raises should have more oversight To quote Premier Christy Clark: “I am not going back to taxpayers for more money in order to give government workers a raise. We are in very tough economic times and we have to balance our budget.” The sanctimonious tone of the Premier’s statement is mind-boggling. If she is so concerned about going back to taxpayers for a pay raise for government workers, why doesn’t she express those same sentiments when the politicians vote themselves a substantial wage
increase whenever they like? They don’t even have to justify it to anyone, least of all the taxpayers, who are paying for them. Have they ever voted to not to give themselves a raise? That would make a dent in helping to balance the budget. They should be ashamed that they continue to vote themselves raises, regardless of tough economic times, while denying others. But, unfortunately, I don’t think they are capable of feeling shame. The practice of voting themselves raises needs to be abolished. They are civil servants and should not have this power, with no oversight or justification. This is a practice that is long overdue for change. Why isn’t someone calling for this to be done, if only in the name of fairness, if nothing else? Just last week I read about the Legislative Clerk (supposedly a consultant) in their employ and no one could say exactly what his job was. Where was his job description? But no, they admit to paying (or I should say taxpayers are paying) him salary and perks, completely unaware of his function. Is it any wonder people have become thoroughly disillusioned with politics, and are failing to vote. The only reason I still vote is that I honour the women who fought so hard to get the vote, but I do it with a heavy heart because I see that greed and hypocrisy thrive in the world of politics.

Housekeeping for Homeowners. Like most British Columbians, your home is likely your most precious investment, but keeping it protected with simple home maintenance often falls behind a busy lifestyle and other priorities. Yet basic home maintenance does not require a lot of specialized skills or know-how, is very cost effective and an excellent approach to protection against an unexpected crisis and costs. Here we share some important tips to keep your home and family safe. t Prevent the possibility of a fire hazard by keeping the dryer vent clean. Clean the lint filter every time you run your dryer and once a year slide the vent out and remove any lint build up. t Run an energy efficient furnace by replacing filters at least every three months, especially for proper operation over winter. Dirty filters block airflow, lowering air quality and making it potentially dangerous to your family’s health. They also cause furnaces to work overtime, increasing energy bills and eventually to overheat, burn out and be replaced. t Prevent mold by monitoring your home for condensation. Too much moisture indoors eventually poses a health risk, and left untreated will rot woodwork. Examine your windows, checking for cracks or breaks in the seals that can easily be fixed.

t Guard against water damage by looking for signs of dripping and corrosion on exposed pipes around toilets, sinks and appliances. Leaking fixtures can often be fixed with simple replacement parts like O-rings, cartridges or flappers for leaky toilets. Leaks are easy to miss, but early repair avoids costly water damage. t Make sure your gutters are clean and water run-off is unobstructed. At least once a year physically remove debris and build-up from your gutters and ensure your downpipes are clear. Blocked gutters and pipes can force water to back up and soak into the roof, walls, and even the foundation. Basic upkeep of your home protects your investment and safeguards your family. And it’s easy enough to do yourself with an idea of what to look for and why.

CYCLING
Nanaimo Mountie finds a new passion as he trains for this year’s Tour de Rock Chris Bush Black Press
C
onst. Chris Fernandes has a new love in his life – cycling. Fernandes is representing the Nanaimo RCMP on the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock 2012 team. At 59, he is also one of the oldest riders to tackle the Tour, but he’s motivated by his quest for a new athletic challenge and the fact that his two-year-old granddaughter was diagnosed with leukemia in September. Raising money to fight childhood cancer seemed like something he could do to fight back. “You get this feeling of helplessness, where you’d like to help, but there’s nothing you can do. In my case, there is something I can do,� Fernandes said. Fernandes retired from the RCMP after 36 “I like to years of service – 30 of them in Nanaimo – challenge myself. serving as a general duty officer and in several I’m not afraid to other positions. When he retired in 2009, he immediately breathe hard.� signed up as a reserve constable and still shows – Chris Fernandes up for work each day. Fernandes has always been athletic and taken on sports that were sure to test his ability and endurance. He is a member of Nanaimo Search and Rescue and was one of the original members of the B.C. RCMP dive team, now known as the RCMP Dive Recovery Team. For Fernandes it’s no big deal to hike to the top of Mount Benson in Nanaimo or hop on a bike and put 50 kilometres under his tires. “I like challenging myself,� Fernandes said. “I’m not afraid to breathe hard. The way I see it is if I stay in shape well enough and I see something and I want to try it, I can still do it.� His newfound love for cycling came as a surprise to him, but it was evident at the end of the first 20-kilometre training ride in March when the trainees returned to the Parksville RCMP detachment and Fernandes opted to cycle back to his home in Nanaimo instead of catching a lift back to town. “Other than riding to work, I hadn’t done a lot of biking,�
Chris Bush/Black Press
Chris Fernandes sets sights on the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock trek, which begins in Port Alice on Sept. 23. Fernandes said. “This has been kind of a bonus because I’ve actually found another sport that I really enjoy doing.� But even someone in Fernandes’s physical condition is tested by Tour de Rock training, especially on “speed nights� when riders train to produce high bursts of speed over a 36-kilometer course, much of it uphill, to build stamina and lung capacity. Fernandes previously fundraised before for Vision Quest and for Nanaimo Search and Rescue and hopes to raise at least $10,000 during this year’s Tour de Rock for pediatric cancer research. “As much as I can,� he said.

ria MP Denise Savoie resigned her seat due to health reasons on Aug. 31. The byelection date has not yet been set by the federal govern-
ment, but it is expected to take place in conjunction with two others in Calgary Centre and Durham, Ont. near the end of November. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Three potential candidates have emerged in the race for nomination in the upcoming Victoria federal byelection, while the four major parties work to finalize their nomination processes. Murray Rankin, an environmental lawyer and former University of Victoria law professor, declared his intent to seek the NDP candidacy on Monday. Rankin previously chaired the Land Conservancy of B.C. and is currently heading a panel of legal experts who are advising the provincial NDP on their opposition to the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline project. “I’m just appalled that (the pipeline is) a serious possibility,” Rankin said, adding he is concerned by the weakening of Canada’s environmental regulations. “I sincerely fear the dismantling of all things I’ve come to love as a Canadian,” he said. Last week, economist Paul Summerville announced his intention to seek the federal Liberal nomination. Previously chief economist for RBC, Summerville ran for the NDP in Ontario in the 2006 federal election, but said the Liberals are better aligned with his economic and fiscal beliefs. “Wealth is a critical condition for a successful social democracy,” he said. “That’s a hard thing to say wearing an NDP hat.” Rankin said the Capital Region’s secondary sewage treatment project is a done deal under federal and provincial regulations, while Summerville said there is still a conversation to be had about the “topdown” decision. “It was done in a way that was ignorant of the science,” Summerville said. On Thursday, UVic law professor and refugee rights advocate Donald Galloway announced his inten-

Devour Bistro & Catering Vancity business member Fresh food tastes better. And locally grown fresh food—that tastes best of all. That’s a good way to describe the business model of Devour Food, one of Greater Victoria’s most exciting new restaurants: keep the menu very fresh, very local, and very tasty, and customers will beat a path to your door. Vancity was a big fan of the restaurant’s innovative concept: to focus on in-season ingredients sourced from organic producers in and around the Greater Victoria community. After meeting owner and head chef Jena Stewart, Vancity came to the table with a small-
business start-up loan and financing package that included a term loan and operating line of credit. The financing allowed Devour Food to renovate and update its location in the downtown core at 762 Broughton Street, as well as purchase new equipment and other supplies for its kitchen. Vancity also provided ongoing business and entrepreneur support, which gave Devour Food an important leg up in the city’s hyper-competitive restaurant industry. Since it opened its doors, Devour Food has received rave reviews
and numerous awards. Beyond the accolades, the restaurant has served the community well, highlighting the importance of the local food economy to hundreds of restaurant patrons every day. It has also helped profile several Vancouver Island food producers, giving them a forum for showcasing their delicious products to local residents. Vancity shares Devour Food’s commitment to supporting local businesses, and its support for local farmers and food producers. We continue to invest in the people and businesses who produce, deliver and serve locally grown organic food.
You already get value from buying local. Why not bank that way? vancity.com/victoria Make Good Money (TM) and Good Money (TM) are trademarks of Vancouver City Savings Credit Union.
When you make deposits with Vancity, you earn competitive returns that help you reach your financial goals.

United Way aims high Campaign targets $6million goal Daniel Palmer News staff
The United Way of Greater Victoria hopes to raise $6 million in the next year to provide financial support to nearly 70 social programs throughout the region. “This community is incredibly generous and we have high hopes that we will exceed the goal,” said campaign chair John Guthrie at Wednesday’s unveiling at Ogden Point. From transitional housing to anti-bullying initiatives in schools to drug rehabilitation, the United Way works with community partners to identify the most pressing community issues. Registered charities can apply for grants for specific projects that help address those issues, and a panel of community experts selects eligible partners and monitors the funds. Recipients of United Way funding include AIDS Vancouver Island, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Victoria, Pacifica Housing Advisory Association, Victoria Cool Aid Society and the Conservatory of Music. The campaign raised $5.9 million in 2011 with the help of over 1,000 volunteers in 500 workplaces and individual community donors. In the past year, United Way funding helped deliver 117 programs and services to the community's most vulnerable people through 68 partners. Guthrie said funding requests exceeded available resources by nearly two to one last year. “The need is great, we know that,” he said. “Many of our community partners aren’t able to provide some important programs for people to get the help when they need it." dpalmer@vicnews.com

VicPD continue to search for robbery victim Victoria police are still searching for a young Asian woman who was the victim of a violent robbery last Friday (Sept. 7). Witnesses reported seeing a suspect shove her head-first into a wall, and attempt to steal her purse. A Good Samaritan stepped in to stop the attack, and witnesses held the suspect until police arrived. One man was arrested. “We’ve been trying to locate this victim for days now and certainly want to ensure she is safe,” said Const. Rob Horne, lead investigator. “Without talking to the victim, that investigation may be in jeopardy.” Police are also looking to speak with the person who stopped the attack. Anyone with information is asked to contact Const. Horne at 250-995-7654. kslavin@saanichnews. com

WOW!
“Max has an extraordinary talent,” said McBride. “All the boats are the same, and everyone is starting with the same wind and water. Then it becomes a matter of who has the fitness, the tactical ability, the experience and the skill to win. Max has all of those.” He’s been sailing since he was six years old and has developed a love for the sport that transcends most of the other aspects of his life. He trains every day, spending 20 to 30 hours a week honing his skills. “When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I do is check out the wind,” said Gallant. “I do it without thinking.” Yet strategy is a big part of the sport. “It’s like chess on the water,” said McBride. “In ‘one design racing’ it’s not about the boat. You can’t buy a win with a better boat design. There are a hundred other sailors out there trying to do the same thing you’re doing and it comes down to who makes the least mistakes.” That’s Gallant’s strength. “When I am getting ready to start, I’m always a little nervous,” he said. “But once the race starts I forget about everyone else and just do what comes naturally. I can look ahead and see the wind and know what I have to do.” See the wind? Apparently, it’s not as mystical as it seems. “Max can see if there are puffs in the clouds and how they’re moving. He can see the ripples on the water up ahead and he can feel the action of the wind on the sail. He processes all of that without thinking and makes his moves at exactly the right time; he knows the wind will behave in a certain way. It takes a lot of skill and experience,” McBride said. McBride and the yacht club are working diligently to provide that understanding to as many sailors as they can. He has more than 25 years of experience as a coach and has been with the Royal Victoria Yacht Club for seven years. He coaches the youth team for national competition as well as the paralympic sailing team. Currently, he has some 50 members on his youth team and also oversees the Learn to Sail program at the club. McBride ensures that fitness, technical training and even sport psychology are a part of the training for his athletes. “Sailing is arguably the most technical sport in the world,” he said. “It takes a lot of preparation to do well.” Sailing is also one of the sports where early entry has been identified as being crucial for success, he said. “The younger we can get kids into the sport, the greater their potential for success. Max is a good example of that,” McBride said. As for Gallant, he’s just starting Grade 11 and is looking toward a future that includes finishing his education and planning for a career, all the things that occupy the lives of other 16 year olds. But for Gallant, there are other dreams as well. “I’m on the national team now, but I want to make it to the Olympics – and win,” he said. reporter@vicnews.com

Latin film week shows unique perspective UVic-led event showcases best in Latin American and Spanish cinema Kyle Wells News staff
Cinecenta is going south of the border for the Third Latin American and Spanish Film Week, from Sept. 18 to 23. The event is organized by the department of Hispanic and Italian studies at the University of Victoria and showcases some of the best in Latin American cinema. “The idea essentially is to showcase different cultures and societies of Latin America and Spain,” UVic professor Dan Russek said. “All these countries have thriving cultures. … So we’re interested in bringing these movies to Victoria that otherwise might not reach the community.” Every night of the event features a film from a different country. O Palhaço (The Clown) is a 2011 film from Brazilian director Selton Mello, who also stars in the film. Described as a lighthearted and
nostalgic tale, the film follows a father/son travelling clown act. The son, Benjamin, begins to question if he is funny and sets out on a journey of self-discovery. Gatos viejos (Old Cats) is a 2010 Chilean film by directors Sebastián Silva and Pedro Peirano. The dramatic film explores family relations, the generation gap and misplaced expectations through its story of an aging couple living in simplicity when their daughter and her lesbian lover come to visit with a get-rich scheme. On the Thursday night is Trisha Ziff’s La Maleta Mexicana (The Mexican Suitcase), a documentary about the recovery in 2007 of 4,500 photograph negatives taken during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). Stephanie Boyd’s Operación Diablo (The Devil Operation) is screening on the Friday night. This documentary focuses on Father Marco Arana, a priest in Peru who spent two decades defending mountain farmers from a U.S.-owned gold mine. Proceeds from this screening will go to Mosqoy, a Canadian charity, founded by a former UVic student, promoting social justice

Sunday night screening of Un Cuento Chino (A Chinese Tale) by Argentinian director Sebastián Borensztein. Starring Ricardo Darín (The Secret in Their Eyes), this film centres on a hardware store owner who helps a young man from China search for his uncle. It can be hard to describe, but Russek said that Latin American movies have a certain flavour to them that distinguishes them from other international cinema. “Some bittersweetness about life, I would say,” Russek said. “Life can be hard in Latin America. The social problems, the drug trafficking, inequality. … And that … sinks into their work without being didactic or pedagogical.” Even the comedies typically have something to say about social issues or the Latin American experience, Russek said. “They’re not shallow comedies. … There’s some bite, some darkness.” Show times for all films are 7 and 9 p.m. All screenings are at Cinecenta (3800 Finnerty Rd.). All films will be screened with English subtitles. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Remembering Rosie, a tribute to the life and career of Rosemary Clooney, hits the stage this weekend at the Charlie White Theatre in Sidney. Performers Patri- Patricia Duval, left, cia Duval and Lorraine and Lorraine Foster. Foster from Vancouver, accompanied by the Peter Dent Quartet, tell Clooney’s life story and career through songs and dialogue. The show features some of Clooney’s early hits from the 1950s, some pieces from her big-band years and her lounge act with 4 Girls 4. It finishes with a look at her 25 years recording with the Concord Jazz label. “This show takes you on a delightful trip down memory lane which showcases Rosemary’s incredible talent and experiences,” said Duval, who’s been close friends with Foster for 35 years. Both women have been actors for many years and always hoped to do a show together. Remembering Rosie plays Sunday (Sept. 16) at 2 p.m. Tickets, $30 and $25 for seniors and students, are available through the Mary Winspear box office, at marywinspear.ca or at 250-656-0275. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Canada at the past two under-20 Junior World Cup Trophy tournaments, a product of the St. Michaels University School rugby program. “ARC selection is something everyone involved here is hoping for,” said Fuailefau, who trains daily with a senior national team’s long list. “Fuailefau will be in and among some pretty good company, and if he excels within that group it’ll be a positive indicator for him.” MacMillan said. Fuailefau’s first taste of the CRC came as a winger against the Atlantic Rock in August, in which he played a steady 80 minutes. Against Ontario, Fuailefau will start as a centre. It’s his ideal position, where he’s played for Canada U20, the UVic Vikes premier men and will likely suit up for the Castaway Wanderers this year.
Rugby’s proving grounds National rugby centre hosts provincial test this weekend Travis Paterson News staff
Rugby has come a long way in Langford. City Centre Park was once but a twinkle in Mayor Stew Young’s eyes. Now it’s the home of the Canadian Rugby Centre for Excellence, an incubator developing the country’s top players. The progression continues tomorrow (Sept. 15) as City Centre Park’s main field, Westhills Stadium, hosts the Pacific Tyee against the Ontario Blues. It’s the Tyee’s final match of the Canadian Rugby Championship, the annual regional contest between the Tyee (Team B.C.), Blues, Prairie WolfPack and Atlantic Rock.

Run for the Cure needs volunteers
Study shows permafrost thaw Natalie North News staff
The Arctic compost is thawing and billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide, previously unaccounted for in global climate models, is being released into the atmosphere. University of Victoria graduate students Andrew MacDougall and Chris Avis, along with climate scientist Andrew Weaver, made this claim in a study published this week by Nature Geoscience Letters. The team used UVic’s coupled global climate model, a system originally derived from weather forecasting, to conclude that melting permafrost – frozen soil, sediment or rock – could release between 68 and 508 billion additional tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere, raising global temperatures by an average of 0.4 to 0.8C on top of what has been previously estimated, by 2100. “It’s basically frozen compost,” MacDougall said. “It’s grasses and manure and bits of animals that have gotten frozen into the permafrost over thousands of years, so you have this frozen material that can’t decay, then you melt the permafrost suddenly. Just as if you unfroze compost in your garden, it would start to rot,

The largest single-day, volunteer-led event in support of breast cancer in Canada is set to take place later this month and volunteers are needed to make it happen. The Canadian Breast Can-
but it does so very slowly over the course of a hundred years.” About 18.8 million square kilometres of northern soils hold about 1,700 billion tonnes of organic carbon, or about four times more than all the carbon emitted by human activity in modern times, twice as much as than is currently in the atmosphere. Given that global temperatures have already risen by about 0.8C since the Industrial Revolution, limiting global warming to less than 2C – the goal identified in the 2009 Copenhagen Accord – doesn’t leave much room for future emissions, MacDougall said. “What we’ve been trying to do more lately is trying to find emissions pathways that allow you to stay below two degrees. This makes that a lot harder. … Not impossible, but difficult.” To stay below the 2C threshold, humans will have to make “very large and immediate reductions in emissions,” he added. “Business as usual” scenarios, MacDougall said, usually account for a three-to-four degree rise in temperatures by 2100. The new model would drive temperatures up an additional 10 per cent and more after the 21st century. nnorth@saanichnews.com

New police watchdog ready to go B.C.’s new police oversight office is officially in operation, ready to take over investigations of incidents involving police that result in serious injury or death. Former U.S. prosecutor Richard Rosenthal was hired last year for the new office, after establishing similar services in Denver and Portland. Rosenthal said he has hired 30 of 36 investigators, divided into four teams,
who are now on call to oversee investigation of any major incident involving police in the province. About half of those investigators are former police, none of whom previously worked in B.C. Rosenthal and Justice Minister Shirley Bond said police experience is required, because the teams will need to secure crime scenes, interview police and other witnesses, and investigate incidents involving off-duty police officers, including homicides. B.C.’s Independent Investigations Office (IIO) is the fourth of its kind in Canada,
and has the largest civilian presence of any in the world, Rosenthal said. The B.C. government committed to a civilian-led agency after a string of incidents involving RCMP and city police forces. The office was recommended by inquiries into the 2007 death of Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski at Vancouver airport, and Frank Paul, who was removed from the Vancouver Police drunk tank in 1998 and left unconscious in an alley. The 2005 gunshot death of Ian Bush at the RCMP detachment in Houston, B.C.

Richard Rosenthal was another case that pushed the B.C. government to end the practice of police incidents being investigated by other police forces. The independent office will also bring B.C. RCMP officers under civilian oversight. Bond said B.C. police agencies asked for independent oversight after police-led investigations in the Paul and Dziekanski cases eroded public support. Rosenthal said he intends to make reports public, whether or not the IIO recommends charges against police officers. Final decisions on charges are made by a Crown prosecutor, as with any other B.C. criminal case. The IIO expects to deal with about 100 cases involving death or serious injury in an average year. The office has a budget of about $10 million a year, working out of headquarters in Surrey. The existing B.C. Police Complaints Commissioner is continuing to handle public complaints against police forces in the province. editor@vicnews.com
