Outgoing B.C. Lt.-Gov. Steven Point became emotional upon launching his dugout canoe on Ross Bay Beach along Dallas Road in 2010. It was the same location where Point found the log from which he carved the canoe along with renowned artist Chief Tony Hunt. The ceremony, and Point’s reaction were fairly typical of the down-to-earth lieutenant governor.

is Honour Steven Point may look on his years in Victoria with satisfaction, but he’s up front that he won’t miss living in the stately Government House.

“This is fancy, but you’re also in a jail here,” he said with a chuckle. “The gates are locked and there’s security here all the time.”

After five years as B.C.’s 28th lieutenant governor, Point is eager to return to his home with his wife, Her Honour Gwendolyn Point.

Over his term as the Roszan Holmen Queen’s representative Reporting in British Columbia, he’s accumulated “too much” mileage travelling to Chilliwack once or twice a month to visit family.

Dirty Carpets?

“It’s nice to go home,” he said. “Our grandchildren are there, all our kids are there.”

Once back, he hopes to resume his post as a provincial court judge – “Knock on wood,” he said, with another soft chuckle.

Among locals who got the chance to know him, Point has garnered a reputation for being warm, funny and down-to-earth – and for being a great storyteller. He particularly had a knack for drawing in young people with tales from his own youth.

“Talking to kids is not easy,” he said at his office, before his departure ceremony yesterday at the legislature. The best way to engage them is to talk about your own life and make sure you don’t come off as too important, he added.

“They ask all sorts of questions. They

apprehensive at first (but) I watched him become more relaxed in his role,” O’Connor said. “He is very engaging with people of all walks of life … and he makes everyone relax.”

Victoria MLA Carole James has attended many events with Point.

One of her favourite memories of him happened just a few months ago, during a ceremony dedicated to a new totem pole outside Government House.

“He saw that some of the little kids were having trouble seeing,” James said.

“He said, ‘this event is about the future and supporting tradition, so I want to ask all the children to come on up to sit on the rocks …’ It was like watching the pied piper.”

want to know if you sleep in a golden bed. It’s very funny.”

In particular, he inspired aboriginal youth, as B.C.’s first aboriginal lieutenant governor.

“We get a lot of excitement when we get out to First Nations communities,” Point said. “I think it gives a lot of pride to the kids.”

The children also write him letters.

“His Honour personally responded to literally thousands of letters back of forth,” said Michael O’Connor, who got to know Point well as president of the Government House Foundation. “He takes the time to talk with everyone.”

The role took a bit of getting used to, however.

“I think it was unexpected when he was asked (to take the job) and he had to think about it. I think he was a bit

The Great Pumpkin

Dr. Christina Vuksic knows she isn’t perfect.

As medical director of quality and patient safety with the Vancouver Island Health Authority, Vuksic also knows she’s in good company.

“Almost every caregiver, whether a nurse, doctor or pharmacist, has probably experienced a medical error,” she said, recalling her own close call with a patient in the days before electronic medical records.

“We had a patient come in on a pre-existing medication, unbeknownst to staff. I wrote an order to start that patient on a blood thinner,” she said.

The patient was taking another drug that, when combined with the blood thinner, led to internal bleeding.

Although the patient did eventually recover and was discharged, Vuksic acknowledged her team “did more harm than good in that situation.”

It’s stories like Vuksic’s that make the health authority’s recent purchase of nine new medication dispensing cabinets worth their $500,000 price tag.

The machines act as a failsafe dispensing unit for hospital caregivers, using electronic information from pharmacists.

When a patient’s file is accessed, the machine dispenses only the exact medication for that patient and locks out other drugs.

The Victoria Hospitals Foundation is dedicating its fall campaign to paying for the new machines, which are part of Royal Jubilee’s Patient Care Centre. Last year, the foundation raised $8.4 million for both Jubilee and Victoria General Hospital.

“Often, the public aren’t aware of the scope of health services that go on in our hospital every day,” said Melanie McKenzie, the foundation’s executive director.

Its annual Visions gala dinner will be held Nov. 17 at the Fairmont Empress Hotel, an event that brought in $450,000 last year.

“We live in an incredibly generous community,” McKenzie said.

Vuksic said while the machines are fantastic, they signal something much broader in VIHA’s approach to patient care.

“Medication safety ... starts with a culture that mistakes will happen, and people need to learn from them,” she said.

“This is a recipe for quality in health care.”

Donated business records offer historic B.C. insights Royal B.C. Museum grateful for informative documents Edward Hill News staff

In an old building on Langley Street, down a winding corridor lit with bare bulbs, through a series of locked doors, B.C. Archives manager Kathryn Bridge emerged into a dim, grimy room.

She could see oversized ledgers, great tomes three feet thick.

Dockets wrapped in red twine sat piled beside thousands of files on warped shelves, all covered in a layer of dust, and which looked ready to collapse.

This was the Pemberton Holmes Ltd. archive – the financial records, maps, letters, company reports, legal documents, land titles and tax statements reaching back into the 1880s – which together tell a more nuanced story of how Victoria and B.C. grew as a colonial outpost and a young province.

For Bridge, this is about as good as it gets. She admits it was her “Indiana Jones” moment.

“We started going through it last fall. It was dusty, hot, sweaty work. It was a nice break from the clean, sterile archive rooms," Bridge says. “It’s not often you get to see a huge record with such a long date range in original storage.”

Archivists spent months inspecting and cataloguing what they had and transferring it

piecemeal back to the Royal B.C. Museum. Last Thursday, Michael and Richard Holmes officially donated the collection to the provincial archives.

“It’s not everyday we get such a large donation,” said Gary Mitchell, director of the provincial archives. “We accept the story of not only a great family but a great company that influenced and contributed to the life of the province since Confederation."

In the back room of the museum, officials laid out a few of the most compelling documents: financial transactions of Amor De Cosmos, the eccentric second premier of B.C.; turn-ofthe-century maps of subdivided properties in Oak Bay, Victoria, Steveston and Abbotsford; a dozen dockets – a kind of thick envelope bound by twine that held all the records for a particular client – with names and dollar amounts owed.

One impossibly thick accounting ledger would have taken at least two people to lift and demonstrated the clean, crisp and entirely legible handwriting common throughout most of the materials.

“We are still in stages of discovery. What we are showing here is a drop in the bucket,” Bridge says. “There are thousands of pages, hundreds of journals, ledgers, photographs, maps. A 125-

year history is here, and it’s just beginning to be processed.”

The collection originates with Joseph Pemberton, a surveyor for the Hudson’s Bay Company and then surveyor general for the colony of British Columbia, who completed the original land survey of Fort Victoria in the 1850s.

He founded Pemberton and Son in 1887 with his son, Fredrick.

Fredrick’s son-in-law Henry Cuthbert Holmes joined the firm in 1920, creating the what is now the oldest real estate company in B.C. From early days, it was an organization with interests far and wide – real estate development and speculation, insurance, mortgage brokering, and estate and financial management.

It secured land for what are now Port Alberni, Prince Rupert and towns in the Cariboo and Chilcotin along the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. It established mining claims in the Kootenays and logging in the Cowichan Valley. The Pemberton family ranch is now Oak Bay, Fairfield and Rockland.

Paul Washington, a contract archivist who oversaw the transfer of the archive from Langley Street to the museum, said the collection gives fresh insight into the how institutions and authorities viewed women, minorities and labourers.

“It’s not just a business history,

Sharon Tiffin/News staff

Richard Holmes, president of Pemberton and Son Ltd. pulls out one of the massive ledgers Pemberton Holmes has donated to the Royal B.C. Museum. it a social history as well,” he said. “You get an idea of the social life, of the class system, who was hired to do what, and how little they got paid.”

Almost every bit of yellowing paper displays curious snippets of history. A docket inked with Victoria and Sidney Co. offers a reminder that a railway once connected Sidney and Victoria.

Among that company's neatly folded papers – a 1921 tax notice from Saanich, twice stamped with “delinquent” and owing $8.44.

Today, Richard Holmes is president of Pemberton and Son Ltd. – brother, Michael, is president of family real estate company Pemberton Holmes Ltd. Richard remembers hearing as a child his grandfather, Henry, tell a story about Fredrick Pemberton making a wager at the Union Club that he could walk from Nanaimo to the club in 24 hours. “(Fredrick) made it in 23 hours and 45 minutes. That was one

hell of a distance, given it was the 1880s or 1890s. There was no Malahat road,” Richard said.

He noted the family bought the land where the downtown Yarrow Building now stands for about $250 in the 1880s, which had the original Pemberton office. In the late 1890s, the family allowed people to golf on their waterfront 90 acres in Oak Bay, except in the summer when it was needed to graze sheep and cattle.

Holmes said his family had been discussing donating the old buisiness records for a decade, but renovations in the Langley street building made it a priority last year.

“The collection needs to be in museum-type conditions. There is a lot of interesting stuff in there.

We found shares of the Esquimalt Waterworks company. I guess we still own that,” he joked.

Mediation for Transit, bus union, but runs remain cancelled Job action or not, some riders used to spotty service Natalie North News staff

As heavy rainfall covered Greater Victoria, bus riders were also hit with the worst of a transit strike.

Despite the cancellation of about 70 runs due to a ban on overtime,

0 H v. 8 S o CnAight N

$ n i W TRAMid EXadline

primarily on University of Victoriabound routes, many riders seemed relatively unaffected last week.

“They should be striking more,” remarked UVic student Justin Robertson, riding the No. 14 bus last week. That is one of the routes that has absorbed the most cancellations during the job action.

The two sides were scheduled to begin mediation yesterday.

“I don’t think that if you’re going to be at 70 runs cancelled, you’re not going to have some kind of an impact,” Ben Williams, Canadian

Auto Workers local 333 president said. “It’s directly affecting the students who we work very closely with. … It’s a very unfortunate side effect of our job action and not something we wanted it to get to.”

According to the union, 16,000 transit riders were left behind at bus stops last month, before the start of the job action.

UVic Students’ Society director of external relations Lucia Orser said the anxiety around the cancellations has had just as much

impact on students as spotty service before the strike – a reality to which she says students on busier routes have grown accustomed.

“One thing we’ve been cautioning (students) about is giving themselves enough time,” Orser said. “It’s funny, at this point in the semester students are used to giving themselves that extra time, but this just exacerbates the issue.”

B.C. Transit receives about 300 customer calls on an average day.

Last week, that number doubled to between 500 and 600. Yet on Fri-

day, when more than 70 runs were cancelled, they received just three service complaint calls.

“It’s worrisome to us that people might be finding some other way of getting around,” said Meribeth Burton, spokesperson for B.C. Transit. “We hope (the job action) isn’t how it will continue (this) week.”

Totem rises at Friendship Centre Edward Hill News staff

Holding his daughter, master carver Carey Newman watched as 100 volunteers heaved on lines, slowly lifting his Thunderbird-capped totem to the sky.

When crews secured the 7.9-metre totem to the ground and it took its place outside the Victoria Native Friendship Centre in Saanich, the 37-yearold artist could finally see his work as it was meant to be – upright in the world. He could also finally sleep.

“It was barely enough time. I worked through the night last night, and worked through the night before,” Newman said on Friday. “Then just before the rise, I noticed part of a figure’s nose had no paint.”

After six weeks of frenetic work to finish the piece to deadline, and minutes before the totem-raising ceremony, Newman dabbed on the final spots of black and dried it with a hairdryer.

Master carver Carey Newman dabs last-minute touches of paint on his 7.9-metre totem “Na’ mima,” which was raised at the Victoria Native Friendship Centre in Saanich last Friday.

Following a ceremony led

by Kwakwaaka’wakw Nation elders, scores of young people braved the cold rain and pulled ropes weaved through pulleys, in a choreographed lift that went off without a hitch.

The totem represents the Kwakwaaka’wakw Nation and sits near a pole installed last year representing the Coast Salish, also carved by Newman.

A third, planned for next year will represent the third major First Nation family of Vancouver Island, the Nuu-chah-nulth.

“We are honouring the three nations of Vancouver Island,” said Bruce Parisian, executive director of the Victoria Native Friendship Centre. “This is one of the most important cultural events we have here. (Totems) are symbols of what happens in our community.”

Both totems are cut from the same tree, an 800-year-old cedar from the Nimpkish Valley, donated by the Kwakwaaka’wakw people.

Carving the totem was an integral part of the Eagle project, a job and education readiness program · cabinet refacing specialists · cabinet modification · kitchen modernization · euro-cabinet for youth and young specialists · free same day estimates · Home Depot authorized service provider adults at the centre.

OUR VIEW

Team approach works wonders N

ews of the success rate of the regional Victoria Integrated Community Outreach Team raised our eyebrows recently.

The team, comprised of nurses, outreach and social workers, probation and police officers and a provincial social services staffer, works with an average client load of 65 people facing issues ranging from addictions to unstable mental health to homelessness.

That number may seem relatively small compared to the region’s homeless numbers, which reach well into the hundreds in any given month. But the effect of VICOT’s work with its clients has been unmistakable.

In the first year of being supported by the team, clients’ average stay in acute care hospital beds went from 121 days per year to 35. For the second year, that number dropped to 11. Overall the cost savings to the medical system are about $6 million a year.

That’s no small change. And that number doesn’t include the savings in police resources or insurance claims related to drug-related theft.

While realizing such cost savings lets us breathe easier as taxpayers, programs such as this one can also allow us to feel somewhat safer in our communities.

As such, the people who work with streetentrenched individuals must be applauded for their efforts to guide those clients into a healthier lifestyle.

But let’s not forget to give a pat on the back to those people who are doing the heavy lifting personally.

In accepting help from VICOT workers and others, clients are pulling themselves out of the cycle of addiction and addressing mental health issues, both of which, if left unchecked, can lead to crisis situations for themselves and others in our communities.

Remembering to eat a healthy diet, for example, may not seem like such a big deal on its own for most of us. But when buying food at all is sacrificed for buying drugs, it’s easy to see how one’s health can decline quickly.

The VICOT results are evidence that a team approach is a successful model for helping give a hand up to the most vulnerable in our communities.

Rosner goes on to chronicle the deliberate editing of quotes, selecting story subjects based on looks alone and requests for blatant fabrication in stories.

Rosner also tackles the lack of women’s bylines in long-form narrative journalism – the result of an apparent lack of interest from editors of women’s magazines to publish longer formats.

I doubt women who actually buy those magazines would be upset if they stumbled across an intelligent, inspired article within the pages of advertising and diet tips.

If you’re like Van Luven, you’ve given up on the women’s section of the magazine rack all together and if you’re like me you do the same, though you might occasionally pick up something like Esquire for a dose of A.J. Jacobs and some comedic misogyny.

I’ve been thinking about Cash this October during Women’s History Month in Canada. It’s also the United Nations’ first International Day of the Girl, a day intended to recognize rights and challenges girls face around the world.

These rights and challenges, I can say with confidence, range so far beyond any judgement or discrimination I’ve ever encountered in my easy little B.C lifestyle due to my gender. But it’s my job to ask and to wonder why the Van Luvens of the world feel we’re returning to the early days of the women’s lib movement. “The zeitgeist is just bigger than most of us,” she says.

JIM BAILEY www.jimbailey.ca

Premier Clark performing financial sleight-of-hand So Christy Clark decided to loosen the public purse strings and open the cheque book just over a half year before the election; pure coincidence?

I doubt it.

There are questions we should be asking the Liberals and ourselves before we decide to vote for them. One is regarding the 10-year, $650-million capital spending plan. Why would she assume she and the Liberals will win the next three elections? Seems arrogant to me.

The spending announcement involves

federal funds yet to be negotiated. What if the federal government does not “anti in” as much as the B.C. Liberals anticipate, or give anything at all?

It would be like if someone said they are going to buy you a brand new car or buy you a house, but they need to win Lotto 6/49. It would be a bit foolish to get your hopes up. It’s kind of like the naked man or woman offering you their shirt: beware.

Another question is where did they pinch pennies to come up with this money? I know a couple of places they

didn’t pinch pennies; their own lunches on our dime or pay raises. Top-brass civil service at the legislature that got an average 10 per cent pay raise while they tell the teachers any raises negotiated must be net-zero.

They did not pinch pennies on the performance bonuses of civil servants making $75,000 to $250,000 a year. At that rate they should be expected to perform and the bonus should be that they keep their job.

Readers respond: Ferries, bullying, and Chinese investment Other options available to deal with Ferries debt

Canada a democracy, not a dictatorship

Re: Northerner presents view of the ferry system (Op-Ed, Oct. 19) Why blame Premier Clark for the rising ferry fares which have been approved

by B.C. Ferry Commissioner Gordon Macatee?

Can the union also not see that ridership is down? They could care less that a 12-per-cent fare increase has been approved over three years to cover capital expenditures. Can the union not see the province is in debt? Or that those expenditures are needed to renew the fleet?

What about taking a cut in pay to help pay for these necessary capital costs? Or perhaps instituting profit sharing with regard to the ferries?

Judy Whytock Victoria

I’m writing because the proposed free trade deal with China causes me a lot of consternation and I feel that it has not been covered enough in the press.

Never mind the positive or negative benefits of such an agreement. What really gets my goat is the fact that the government is trying to ram it down our throats without even any opportunity to discuss it.

That makes the whole thing smell bad. Other countries such as Australia are moving away from such agreements.

Let’s examine why before we rush into it.

The NDP, Liberals, PQ and Green Party have all formally requested a discussion in Parliament, but have been denied.

This is supposed to be a democracy not a dictatorship.

I’m tired of the current government arbitrarily forcing Canada down a path that most Canadians do not agree with.

At least give us the feigned respect of a public discussion. If it is good for Canada, then Canadians will see it, and support it.

Hiding and sneaking around does not instil confidence in me that the government has Canadian interests in mind. It is certainly not democratic. This is Canada, are we going to accept this?

David Monk Victoria

Anti-bullying program reaches down to roots In the aftermath of the Amanda Todd tragedy, the Canadian media have been dwelling directly on bullying, its nature and the public hunger for retribution.

Very little has been said about programs that have been demonstrated to reduce bullying itself. A good example is the Roots of Empathy program (gov. mb.ca/healthychild/roe/) designed by Mary Gordon. It was adopted some 10 years ago in Manitoba and is made available there through the regularly funded school system.

This program uses a monthly class with neighbourhood parents and their infants as the focus and draws upon the innate empathy that youngsters have toward babies. Weekly sessions involve lessons and discussions relating to the experiences that the class members have had interacting with the baby in the presence of its mother or father.

The effects on pro-social development of the children are remarkable and have yielded solid results such as a reduction in bullying, teenage violence and teenage pregnancy: the payback period is lifelong.

While there is a cost associated with this program, trying to fix the consequences of widespread bullying is vastly more expensive and disruptive to society. Roots of Empathy is now also being used in schools in several other provinces. Is it in your school?

Barrie Webster Victoria

Secret deals by feds erode Canadian democracy At a rally held in Victoria last week, I listened to Green Party of Canada leader Elizabeth May explain the consequences of allowing the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project to proceed.

In addition to saying the project would, in all probability, lead to a major oil catastrophe off our Pacific Coast, May also outlined the consequences of a secret deal made by the prime minister of Canada and the leader of the Communist Party in China.

It is secret because Stephen Harper is not allowing the Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (FIPPA) to be debated nor to be voted on in Parliament. The consequences of FIPPA are Canadian taxpayers could be obligated to pay hundreds of millions of dollars if the Chinese government believes Chinese state-owned or other Chinese investments are not being protected for them by the Government of Canada.

Local Market Expert

FIPA permits the Chinese government sweeping powers to usurp Canadian laws in existence now or in the future.

The Harper Conservatives are not only selling out Canadian resources and our democracy to the Chinese, they are doing so in secret agreements.

Canadians deserve to have an accountable, transparent and democratic government, not secret agreements with foreign governments which erode Canadian rights and sovereignty.

Canada’s government creating bad reputation The world has become too small for an “us vs. them” perspective.

Yet when the Harper government disproportionately cuts development aid, I believe the implication is they the world’s children – do not matter. At the 2010 G8 meetings Canada pledged increased support for child and maternal aid, and yet they slashed the aid budget.

The argument is austerity, and yet the $300 million they have cut is the price of a single new fighter jet the government wants to purchase. Three dollars per Canadian per year to save the lives of millions.

There might never be enough, but Canada’s aid budget falls far below most other Western nations, although we have the healthiest economy.

This isn’t necessity, it is choice. The world is watching, and we will be known by the choice our government makes.

National health survey coming to CRD Canada’s most extensive physical health survey is coming to Victoria.

On Nov. 6, 360 residents of Victoria and area will be contacted for interviews about health and lifestyle.

The Canadian Health Measures Survey aims to capture a broad portrait of the health of Canadians by gathering baseline data on a variety of concerns, including cardiovascular health, nutrition, chronic and infectious diseases and exposure to environmental contaminants.

The national survey began January 2012, and will visit 16 sites across the country over a two-year period.

It will collect data from 5,700 Canadians aged three to 79.

“The CHMS is unique in Canada in that it brings together selfreported information from household interviews with measurable physical data collected from participants later at a mobile clinic,” said Richard Stanwick, chief medical health officer for the Vancouver Island Health Authority Individuals participating in the survey will be asked to visit a mobile clinic set up at the University of Victoria starting Nov. 21 and running five weeks.

Those who consent will have several measurements taken, including blood pressure, muscular strength, lung function and hearing. Blood and urine samples will also be taken.

The visit lasts about two hours and participants will get a report of the results of their laboratory tests. rholmen@vicnews.com

McCreath, who has a prosthetic left eye and only light-perception in the other, has,

with the assistance of a guide, run six of the Times Colonist 10K events, including races spanning 2006 until 2010.

“We should never have had to go to this situation,” McCreath said. “I’ve been pretty devastated.”

McCreath has requested compensation

for loss of dignity and missed work during the hearing.

VIRS argued that changes to the route in 2011 should have addressed issues surrounding the safety of visually-impaired runners at the start of the race. nnorth@saanichnews.com

Tech career opportunities are booming in B.C. “British Columbia has a ready source of great jobs and careers in technology. Our education programs need to keep up with that demand.”

John Leech, executive director of the Applied John Leech Science Technologists and Technicians of B.C. (ASTTBC), explains that, “Every system we rely on – water, roads and transportation, telecommunications and Internet, hydro and natural gas, environment, health, forestry and many more – utilizes engineering and applied science technology professionals working in the background. B.C.’s telecom and IT, animation and many other sectors produce new careers every month.”

Here in the Capital Region, “our tech industry is very diverse,” says VIATeC executive director Dan Gunn. “Currently we have a lot of developer job openings but with over 800 technology companies we see opportunities in ocean sciences, advanced manufacturing, aerospace and wireless.

“It’s important to realize that as tech companies grow they need a variety of skill sets, from management to sales to administration.

People interested in a career in tech should watch our online job board and event listings to find current job openings and opportunities to network with the sector.”

As one of Greater Victoria’s leading sectors, significant growth in the tech industry is expected to continue.

“While global market conditions will continue to influence the pace of the growth, it is expected that the tech sector will see a total increase in revenues in excess of 30 per cent over the next five years,” Gunn notes.

Province-wide, ASTTBC has more than 10,000 members currently working in thousands of careers available to graduates of two-year diploma programs available at the B.C. Institute of Technology and other B.C. colleges and institutes.

“Our members enjoy rewarding, well-paid and often recession-proof careers in public service and the private sector alike,” Leech says.

“For huge numbers of young men and women, technology is the answer. In B.C. and across Canada, technology permeates every workplace and job.

Citing the reof Chief Executives expressed concern that cent $6 million B.C. campaign to encourage only 37 per cent of 16- to 18-year-olds were careers in trades, Leech urges a similar effort interested in taking even one post-secondary

course in sciences, according to a recent Angus Reid survey.

Leech says the opportunities for those seeking work in the technology field are considerable given a wave of retirements of present-generation B.C. technology professionals that is already under way.

“Half of our membership is now middleaged at 45-plus, and 22 per cent are over age 55,” he says.

“Every region of B.C. shows growing demand,” Leech concludes. “New two-year technology diploma programs are still needed in the north and central B.C. However, young people are investing to travel so they can earn the necessary tech qualifications.”

Locally, VIATeC is taking a proactive approach.

“We continue to raise awareness of the quality of work available in the Greater Victoria tech sector among students starting as young as grade school,” Gunn says. “Many students, and their parents, don’t appreciate the value that continuing to study math and science can have on career and education options when they graduate. Students and parents can visit victoriatechjobs.com to watch videos about tech careers and to learn about local education options for getting a tech career.”

Even the region’s many visitors are part of the solution. “Our ongoing ‘Tectoria’ promotional campaign targets the three million-plus visitors and tourists to Victoria to ensure they know that we have jobs and investment opportunities in our city when they are ready to move here,” Gunn says.

This year’s Goldstream River salmon run marks the first coho return since the massive fuel spill outside Goldstream park.

“We are very concerned about the coho. The adults returning are the juveniles from the fuel spill,” said Peter McCully, technical adviser for Goldstream Hatchery. “We have no idea what it’ll look like until later.”

On April 16, 2011, a fuel truck crash on the Malahat spilled 42,700 litres of fuel into the river, only hours after the hatchery released 8,000 fish into the river.

This will be the first year the repercussions of the spill will be seen in fish, though last year volunteers counted about 800 coho in the river. “Last year the coho weren’t affected by the fuel spill,” McCully said.

McCully is also concerned how three months of no rain and low water levels will impact the overall salmon run.

One man, 90 minutes, 400 singing voices Travis Paterson News staff

The man of 400 voices is returning to Victoria.

Vocal impressionist and comedian AndréPhillipe Gagnon is launching his 2012-13 tour, The One Man Hit Parade from the Royal Theatre on Tuesday (Nov. 6).

It’s Gagnon’s first visit to the Island this decade and “too long since the last time,” said the 49-year-old, from his Quebec home last week.

“We’re starting a long tour and Gagnon’s been a stage hit since he caught international fame for his adaptation of We Are The World in 1985. Gagnon wowed audiences of Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show with his impersonation of all 21 solos on the 1985 African benefit song written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie.

The essence of Gagnon’s product hasn’t changed. Gagnon’s gone on to do so many voices, some have called him the man of 2,000 voices.

But the 2012 stage show is a lot bigger,

André-Philippe Gagnon brings his One Man Hit Parade to Victoria Nov. 6 Submitted photo

and better, than the kid whose spot-on Jean Chretien could carry him all night, music regardless.

“One Man Hit Parade is the first time we

put the singing impersonations together chronologically, from Bill Haley, to Woodstock, to Boy George and Phil Collins, to Gnarles Barkley and Maroon 5,” Gagnon said.

The stage show has evolved, too. He sharpened his between-song comedy with help from acclaimed writer George Reinblatt of Rick Mercer Report and Just for Laughs fame.

“The comedy is not so much political, not that I won’t do Harper,” Gagnon said. “And sometimes still, there is a need to do Chretien, just because.”

Gagnon’s gift of gifts has always been his singing.

And he hears about it to this day.

“I am often asked to do certain singers, such as Neil Young, but I won’t be singing

him this time around. There is only so many you can do in 90 minutes. I have to tell fans to be patient, next time we’ll do them.”

Patience being the key word, as Gagnon will rattle off upwards of a dozen impressions per minute.

Audience members beware: Gagnon will mimic you too.

“I do impersontions of someone from the crowd as part of the final act. They get to sing. And I will try to sing like them.”

Song selection at that point comes from the ‘Apod.’

“A giant iPod, it detects motion, you can move the songs with your arms, and holds a library of my songs, it’s great fun.”

The Western tour continues onto Nanaimo, Vancouver, Kelowna, Edmonton and Calgary, and shifts into high gear with week-long stays in Montreal and Quebec City, and a rural Quebec tour in December and January. Following that, he heads off to Europe.

Tickets for the Victoria show are available at rmts.bc.ca. The show is at 8 p.m. sports@vicnews.com

The Road to The Path Life crisis leads artist down the road to new music Dougal Bain McLean has found his way.

The former Jon & Roy band member and wellknown Victoria musician will release his first solo EP, The Path, on Saturday, Nov. 3. After a tumultuous year and nearly giving up music for good, McLean has battled his demons and crafted six tracks befitting a come-back album, rather than a debut.

“I was in this band, and that fell apart for me, and in this life-changing relationship with the love of my life, and then that ended. … and I just thought, ‘Well, shit. Maybe the world’s telling me to try something new.’”

A life-long violin player and music instructor, McLean was still teaching as the ground eroded around him. He found himself shirking live performances and instead, sealed into one of his classrooms, letting loose and literally wailing through his troubles.

“I used the instrument I was born with, my

voice, and I took it to its absolute capacity. I finally had nothing left to lose, nothing left to save it for.”

What grew out of those classroom sessions are songs that showcase that gravelly, end-of-the-road voice with so much tenderness that you can’t help but get swept away by their feeling.

But it’s not all morose heartache: McLean is a master of finding a light heart in dark times.

Deceptively upbeat songs like Hellbound Intention and Camino feature trumpets, catchy guitar riffs and sing-along choruses, a compliment to the quieter reflection of Kids in Love and violin voicings of Thunder Road.

McLean has planned two intimate EP release shows to mark his debut, one at Wood Hall in Victoria on Nov. 3, and the other in Vancouver.

Both will feature special cameos by local musicians, and both will treat the audience to some very good, very honest music.

The road to The Path may have been a bumpy one, but McLean stands as a confirmed musician at its end. llavin@vicnews.com

Is your home insurance earthquake ready?

Following the events of the past weekend, B.C. residents are advised to consider the consequences of an earthquake and review their insurance coverage to ensure protection against such disasters.

Generally, earthquakes are not covered by basic home insurance, and BCAA suggests keeping the following things in mind when adding earthquake coverage to your policy: t Mild earthquakes can cause major damage. A slight shift in your foundation can result in repairs that may cost more than your earthquake insurance deductible. t Understand the risk. While any natural disaster is difficult to predict, small- to mediumsize earthquakes are common in B.C. and more than 1,200 are recorded annually. t Decide what you want covered. You can choose to cover your building only or include your contents as well.

Coverage costs will depend on the value of your home/ possessions, location, or the earthquake deductible you choose. t Cost of additional living expenses.

Earthquake insurance covers a range of additional living expenses incurred in the event it is unsafe to stay in your home. t Replacement costs can add up. Replacing one or two belongings may be manageable, but collectively replacing contents bought over a lifetime all at once can be prohibitively

HOME INSURANCE WITH

MARCI-LYN BRAITHWAITE

expensive and even more than your deductible. t Don’t go through it alone.

Your insurance company should be reachable day or night, and have the resources to help you by arranging professional assistance and support.

BCAA encourages homeowners and families to develop an emergency preparedness plan, practice emergency drills, and keep an emergency kit on hand. For more information on earthquake preparedness visit publicsafety.gc.ca or visit bcaa. com/earthquake.

There’s no way to predict when a natural disaster will occur, but if you understand the risk and take the right precautions you can enjoy peace-of-mind, knowing you’re as prepared as possible.

Contact BCAA to learn more about earthquake insurance and to discuss the options available to you. No-one can prevent disasters, but our Insurance Specialists take the time to get to know you better so you get the coverage that’s right for you.

Lambrick books spot in city final Lambrick Park trumps Claremont Travis Paterson News staff

The rain poured and then some on Tuesday as the Lambrick Park Lions edged Saanich rivals Claremont Spartans 3-2 in the semifinals of the high school boys city playoffs at UVic. Double-A Lambrick returns to the Colonist Cup as the defending champions, this time facing single-A St. Andrew’s Sabres at UVic on Nov. 14.

Talented Grade 12 player Everett Fisher stood out on Tuesday, assisting on Lambrick’s first two goals by Felipe Duchene and Spencer Scotney. Fisher then scored a header off a free kick.

“I thought the guys did an amazing job to handle the (wet) conditions,” said Lambrick Park coach Heather Weir.

“The ball was traveling much faster. Skipping along the wet turf, it really motors.”

Claremont scored first in the game, but Lambrick tied it and went up 2-1, and then 3-1. “(Claremont) put a lot of pressure on us the last 14 minutes. They made it 3-2. But our defence came up big. Goalie Matt Turner made some fantastic saves, diving to put one past the post, and was solid the whole game,” Weir said.

The Lions head to the AA Islands Tuesday and Wednesday in Nanaimo.

Call it the wrath of the small schools, or parity amongst the talent of all the teams, but for the second straight year the city final will feature an A and AA team. Last year AA Lambrick knocked the A Glenlyon Gryphons from it’s Colonist throne. Glenlyon is now a AA school.

Lambrick Park Lion Morgan Varley and Claremont Spartan Tasos Liaros leap for the ball during the semifinal of the city championship at the University of Victoria on Tuesday.

Lambrick won 3-2.

The Colonist Cup, city final for senior boys high school soccer, is scheduled for 5:30 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 14 at UVic’s Centennial Stadium.

Provincials first, city finals next for St. Andrew’s Travis Paterson News staff

The St. Andrew’s Sabres sliced through two formidable opponents in one week to win a berth in the Colonist Cup soccer championship against the Lambrick Park Lions.

“We’re facing the champs,” said Mark Cristante, who coaches the team with John Mennie.

The Sabres defeated Glenlyon Norfolk Gryphons 2-1 on Wednesday in the Colonist Cup semifinal on the UVic turf fields. Fabian de la Fuente and Tarnvir Bahndal scored for the Sabres.

“It was torrential downpour the entire game but it didn’t stop our guys, they’ve just been improving all season,” Cristante said.

It was the third meeting between the Sabres and Gryphons in the past three weeks, of them all 2-1 games. The Sabres won in league play, but it was the Gryphons over the Sabres in the single-A Island championship final last week.

“We’re pretty evenly matched,” Cristante said. “They’re a strong team.”

The rubber match may have gone the Sabres way for now, but the two teams seem to be destined to meet again in the provincial single-A championships, hosted at UVic and Glenlyon this week, with the final on Saturday.

“We’re on each side of the draw so the only way we can

meet this week is in Saturday’s final,” Cristante said.

“We’re playing for each other and it’s a real team game.

It’s incredible, they all know their role and are supportive on and off the field.”

And the Sabres are doing it despite graduating eight seniors from the Sabres squad last year, including stars Girodano DePoalis and Leo Falzon, who led the Sabres to the provincial A championship.

“We’ve got players from Grades 8 to 12 this year just to have the numbers, but it’s they’ve really come together.

Our captains Bahndal and David Boyd, both Grade 12, are doing what captains should, and leading by example.”

The Tier II Sabres challenged their way through Belmont and Stelly’s last week to get into the Colonist semifinal. Beating the undefeated Stelly’s Stingers was a huge upset.

The provincial A semifinals are 1:45 p.m. today (Nov. 2) at the UVic and GNS. Bronze and gold games are Saturday, 11:15 a.m. and 1 p.m. at GNS.

Travis Paterson Alexi Argyriou was ready.

He’d been training in mixed martial arts for several years, the last two of them with an agreement to join the pro ranks of the Maximum Fighting Championship in Edmonton once he gained enough amateur experience.

But two weeks out from his scheduled debut at Aggression Fighting Championship No. 7 from Nov. 5, 2011, the 18-year-old dislocated his knee cap during training.

Needless to say that fight never happened.

“I was very excited and felt prepared until that happened,” Argyriou recalled this week.

One year later, the Mount Douglas secondary grad is back on track. It took a month before he could train after the knee injury, and two-and-a -half months to return to full fitness. He made his long-awaited debut in April, a dominating win over Guy Gauthier in 67 seconds at AFC. No. 8.

And now he’s ready for his second fight on Saturday (Nov. 3) at AFC No. 13: Natural Selection at Bear Mountain Arena.

“This fight’s going to be another step up in competition,” Argyriou said. The Camosun College student will fight Andy Jack of Winnipeg. Both will stand in at 155 pounds or less at today’s (Nov. 2) weigh-in at the Shark Club. “(Jack) only has one more fight but he’s 23 years old.”

Theirs is the first of the night, one of three amateur status bouts.

The card is co-headlined by UFC vets with John Alessio facing Dave Mazany and Ultimate Fighter winner Kendall Grove versus Ariel Gandulla.

Three years ago Argyriou made a pact to fight professionally in the MFC, but it was verbal only.

“The idea was, get four or five wins, hopefully

But since then the locally spawned Armageddon Fighting Championship, run by Darren Owen and Jason Heit, has merged, expanded and rebranded as the Aggression Fighting Championship out of Victoria, Edmonton and Calgary. Athletes such as Argyriou now have a local option of equal or greater status to the MFC, should they choose to pursue prize fighting.

“To be able to have your friends and family at the event is such a benefit,” Argyriou said.

He’ll be joined Saturday by fellow Zuma Gym fighters Diego Wilson and Ryan Janes, also fighting. Tickets are available through AggressionFC. com, Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre, Sports Traders, Zuma Gym, Island MMA, or at the door.

Dave Forrest has always loved 1934 Ford cars. The graceful body lines, the way the distinctive chrome radiator shell curves down to a point, the stylish greyhound ALYN EDWARDS radiator ornament CLASSIC and the wood grained RIDES dashboard and interior garnish moldings captured his imagination as a teenager and left a lasting impression.

So, as a teenager in the 1950s, Dave bought a 1934 Ford Tudor Sedan and worked to turn it into a hot rod. The year was 1954 and the Vancouver hot rod scene fueled by teenage boys was an exciting way to show creativity and individualism.

He rented a double garage on Vancouver’s 13th Avenue just off Burrard Street where he disassembled the car. Then he had two knowledgeable body men chop the roof and customize the car. He installed a 1948 Mercury flathead engine with high compression heads and triple carburetors.

Dave financed the car with what he earned as an apprentice printer. When he got his driver’s license at 16, he worked Saturdays spelling his father off on daily deliveries of Vancouver Sun newspapers to Chilliwack with a five ton truck. His father did that job for 45 years.

By 1957, Dave Forrest’s 1934 Ford Tudor Sedan hot rod was nearly completed and ready for the road.

But a girl named Shirley had moved in across the street from the Forrest family’s Kitsilano home. He followed her down the street one day and they met. Romance turned into a marriage proposal. He then sold his nearly completed 1934 Ford hot rod for $350 to buy engagement and wedding rings.

Dave and Shirley Forrest have now been married for 55 years and have three grown children. Two of their offspring run the family’s successful printing business – Thunderbird Press,

which Dave and Shirley Forrest began in the basement of their South Vancouver home in 1966.

Dave Forrest still goes to work two days a week. The rest of his time is spent in the garage working on classic cars.

After selling his first 1934 Ford to get married, Dave began a quest to carry through with the Dave Forrest with the beautifully restored 1934 Ford that he bought as a pile of pieces. dream to have another one just like it. He learned of a car that had been taken apart and stored at The Dearborn Blue car with Tacoma a farm outside Burlington, Washington.

pickup truck. Dave and Shirley drove the vintage truck on a 4,000-kilometre vintage car tour to Fort St. John.

They also bought a 1930 Ford Model A sedan and toured extensively in that car. But the most historic vintage car in their collection came from Warner Brothers of Burbank, Ca – a 1929 Model A Ford roadster pickup that was used in the Ma and Pa Kettle series of motion pictures filmed in the 1940s.

The old truck is in original condition and has been used by Dave and Shirley Forrest for vintage car Easter parades and other tours.

Dave Forrest’s 1929 Ford roadster pickup truck originally used by Warner Bros in the Ma and Pa Kettle movies of the ‘40s.

This fall, the beautifully restored 1934 Ford was won first place honours - Concours Division at the Early Ford V8 Club national meet in Redmond, Or where it was shown and judged alongside some of the best restored Ford classic vehicles in existence. This wellearned International recognition is the realization of a dream of nearly 60 years representing pride of accomplishment for owner Dave Forrest. A job well done!

Drivers near finish line for racing season It has been an up and down season for several local race car drivers competing in their respective series.

The NASCAR K & N West Pro Series has been the primary focus for three drivers, including Central Saanich’s Ronnie Jay, Highlands’ Josh Reaume and Nanaimo’s Mike Haslam.

With one race remaining in the series, the Arizona Casino 50, Jay has the best race finish so far with a 10th at Stockton back in June.

He back-stopped that with a 14th place three weeks ago in West Albuquerque, New Mexico driving Jon Wood’s Ford.

Jay has five starts in the 14 series races completed so far and sits 20th in the overall point standings. A total of 85 drivers have competed this year.

Reaume, the 22-year-old South African go-kart champion, has three starts to his credit in his rookie season. His best finish was a 15th at Evergreen Speedway back in early July driving his own Chevrolet Monte Carlo.

One month later, Reaume teamed up with respected local car owner Dick Midgley using his Chevrolet. Together they pocketed a strong 18th-place finish.

Reaume sits 24th in the standings.

Mike Haslam, originally from Langford, has two K & N starts this year, both behind the wheel of Jon Wood’s Ford.

Haslam’s best finish was a 16th placing at Monroe Washington’s Evergreen Speedway. He also took

an 18th at the Las Vegas Speedway Bullring in late June.

Haslam sits 41st in the standings.

The last race in the series is at Phoenix International Raceway in two weeks time, and at press time, Reaume is confirmed to race there.

Elsewhere, Saanich’s Bill Okell took his MGB to two NASPORT Lite race class wins at Sacramento’s Thunderhill Raceway Park.

NASCAR driver Josh Reaume spotted for Okell as he also set qualifying and race track records during the early September race.

The two race wins coupled with the earlier two wins at Monterey California’s Laguna Seca, give Okell his third consecutive NASPORT Lite championship title.

The TDI Clean Diesel’s claim to fame, of course, is its fuel efficiency.

Despite providing the Beetle with excellent performance, the TDI still delivers when it comes to saving fuel.

A highway fuel consumption rate of just 4.8L/100 km attests to the Beetle’s frugality.

The Beetle TDI is available with your choice of six-speed manual or six- speed DSG
