Deer cull plan moves ahead Council gives unanimous vote in favour of CRD plan of action

Danielle Pope/News staff

Leif Bradshaw, 17, a recent graduate of Oak Bay High has won awards, scholarships and a spot in Camosun College’s diploma for jazz studies thanks to his impressive vocal and conducting abilities. He also registers on autism spectrum and has wowed the community with his performing talents.

At age 17, Leif Bradshaw has already made quite a name for himself. He’s won two prestigious community awards as a student at Oak Bay High school, scored a regional scholarship for top graduating musician in the Greater Victoria School district, befriended influential composers and directors in Victoria’s music scene, and, when he’s not performing for people like Prince Andrew, happens to be creating his own video blog and YouTube channel on one his deepest loves: the Beatles.

ak Bay may be culling its deerly beloved soon, as the region moves forward on a plan to euthanize part of the deer population. More than 40 residents appeared at a meeting on Monday when council made its decision to become the pilot project for the Capital Regional District’s deer cull. The vote asked the CRD to move ahead with a plan of action for a cull, and also addressed the 10 requests that were proposed by the Regional Deer Management Strategy. For the first time this year, the newly mandated 20-minute public participation period hit its time limit with heated arguments for and against the cull. This, after more than 100 residents and 33 speakers already attended Oak Bay’s Committee of the Whole special deer meeting on Danielle Pope Wednesday, June 12. “I’m really not delighted at the Reporting thought of killing deer — I wanted to relocate the animals, but the province says that is not an option,” said Coun. John Herbert. “My principal concern is that a child could be killed. And then, everyone will say ‘What the hell have you people been doing?’” Except for absent Coun. Kevin Murdoch, all council members spoke passionately about the issue and the emotional conflicts involved, though only Coun. Pam Copley spoke against the cull. In the end, the motion FINE CUSTOM JEWELLERS to create the plan passed unanimously. Some horrified residents scolded council out-of-turn, while others applauded the vote. “Deer do not respect the municipal boundaries, and it’s clear to me that we need a multi-pronged approach here,” said Copley. “I wish the spay-(vaccine) was an option, and we have not heard enough about what the First Nations groups have to say.”

Island runner accomplishes long-distance fundraising goal Yana Hempler raising money for three Victoria charities

Yana Hempler stands at Mile 0 on Tuesday after completing her Run for Their Lives, a 495-kilometre run from Port Hardy to Victoria in aid of three Greater Victoria charities.

Don Descoteau News staff

Yana Hempler, a plucky 23-year-old who had just completed a run to Victoria from Port Hardy for charity, looked no worse for the wear at Mile 0 on Tuesday. The Saanich resident, a personal trainer and occasional fitness model who not long ago finished off her bachelor of commerce degree at the University of Victoria, was upbeat and smiling for the cameras, having run in from Langford that morning. Asked what she wanted to do now that she had accomplished an objective set almost two years ago, her answer was surprising: “I’m going to drive out to Elk and Beaver Lake and go for a run.” Run for Their Lives is a fundraiser for three organizations – the B.C. SPCA, Recreation Integration Victoria and the Mustard Seed. Hempler still must crunch the numbers to find out how much money was brought in, but the campaign is open for donations at canadahelp.org until June 30. “This is a tremendous personal accomplishment,” said

Don Denton/News staff

Doug Nutting, executive director of Recreation Integration Victoria. “We’re an organization that facilitates an active lifestyle for people with disabilities and Yana is a great example of what you can do when you put your mind to it.” Hempler’s support team – kind of like Terry Fox’s brother – was Ian Simpson, who drove the motorhome and shouted encouragement at various points along the 495-kilometre route. Hempler’s landlord the past five years with his wife, Michelle, Simpson said they are kind of like “surrogate parents” to the Russian-born runner and proud she achieved her latest goal. “She never lost her motivation,” he said. “And she got

stronger as the run went on. I could see a different body posture from beginning to end.” Hempler was joined for the Malahat run in the early hours of Monday morning, and on the final leg of the journey Tuesday, by training partner Kara Delaney, 25, who competed in a Tough Mudder race last Saturday. The women pounded up the hill from Mill Bay together, with only one close call when a truck passed them close. “We had to hop into the ditch,” Delaney said. Reflecting on what Hempler tackled and achieved, Delaney said she was an inspiration. “She’s changed my mind about distance running. She’s made me want to get out there and run a marathon.” ddescoteau@vicnews.com

community while overcoming a significant challenge. “It’s really not just personal ability,” he says. “It’s the people who have encouraged me and have shown me things I did not expect I could achieve – which is the best thing anyone could hope for.” Despite his humble nature, Bradshaw’s confidence wowed judges of the district-wide competition for top graduating musician in Victoria. His top marks were based on complexity, talent, his ability to achieve perfect pitch and his unique decision to showcase two very different classical works. Given the “healthy competition,” Bradshaw says he was shocked to walk away with the award. That surprise may not be wellplaced, though, considering the young composer performed earlier this year for Prince Andrew’s visit, has become close friends with such people as Victoria Symphony music director Tania Miller, and has been tutored by Dr. Stephen Brown and Allan Slade of the Victoria Conservatory of Music. When he’s not reading Harry Potter books to his younger sister, mastering vocal impressions or playing with his “extremely

social” cat, Bradshaw dedicates time to his video blog, “That Beatles Nerd,” which showcases everything about the lads from Liverpool. “They have been and will likely continue to be my favourite band for as long as I live,” Bradshaw says, with an indulgent smile. “I have seven books about them already, just because I am determined to learn everything I can. Turns out, there are a lot of people like me, but not a lot have done any kind of blogging on the subject, so I will.” As Bradshaw awaits his Camosun start this fall, he plans to spend his time on a few composition projects, one of which includes writing the score for a future TV show. And he is working with a friend to create an a capella singing group this summer. He also hopes to find work, which could fittingly include speaking for one of Victoria’s many tour companies. “I love ending on an ambivalent note,” he says of his musical compositions. “It seems more true that way. Life is a rather mysterious thing, and none of us really have any idea how it will all turn out, but some of the best things are unexpected.” news@mondaymag.com

Bradshaw has what was formerly termed Asperger’s syndrome, a condition that, in his case, leaves him high-functioning. His childhood was “a challenge,” and he had to fight hard to overcome painful times with people who didn’t always understand him. Still, with the support of his family, community, counselling and music therapy, people who meet him now would be hardpressed to see Bradshaw as anything other than a talented young man. “I am terrifically proud,” says his father, Tim Bradshaw. “Leif does have challenges for sure, but he’s an excellent student, he reads scores for fun and he’s been remarkably fortunate to have teachers who have given him so much. They’ve always focused on his abilities, not his disabilities.” Those abilities have accumulated nods at school. Bradshaw was recently honoured with the Nell Howard Music Award for best choral achievement among Grade 11 and 12 students, and the Gene Clark Humanitarian Award for contribution to the

Greater Victoria man takes on Island journey to fundraise for multiple sclerosis

Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

David Cox is taking a monthslong two-wheeled journey cycling the Island tip to tip to tip in a bid to end multiple sclerosis. The 68-year-old is riding to Port Hardy and back for the “endMS” cause and embarked from his Triangle Mountain home on his third unsupported Van Isle End to End

to endMS early this morning. “I get to start off going down a hill,” the Colwood man said indicating his steep driveway. “Really, the idea was to start at home and end at home.” At first, the former Torontonian was just “looking for a good organized bike ride.” The next year it got personal when his niece was diagnosed with MS. Within six months she was confined to a wheelchair. Cox organized a dynamic team of RBC fundraising riders and now is in his 19th year of MS bike rides. “I’m going to raise money – that’s gravy,” he said. “It keeps the whole concept that this disease does not have a cure and make people aware of it.” When he retired to B.C. in 2005, Cox continued to ride fundraisers and raise awareness, spending three years on the board for the MS Society’s South and Central Island chapter. In 2009, he started the Islandwide ride that became bi-annual after an injury in 2010. The idea is to put his own “blood, sweat and tears” into the effort. “There’s a lot of competing charities out there looking for dollars,” he explained. So Cox packed his 40 pounds of baggage on his 28-pound bike and headed out of Colwood to make his way to Port Hardy and back to Shawnigan in time for the Cowichan Valley Grape Escape multiple sclerosis ride that starts July 6. “My objective is to always get back for that,” he said. “I go to the (Shawnigan Lake) school, set up my tent and I’m ready to go in the

morning.” He’ll do the two-day tour then head home to the West Shore. The primary goal is awareness and respect, something he feels is lacking in day-to-day life, illustrated by a visit to his niece Leslie a few months ago.

“I was astounded at the rudeness of people who made her stop, made her get out of the way,” he said of his wheelchair-bound relative. “It’s important for people to recognize there’s folks out there who don’t have the quality of life we have. If they want to make a donation, all the better.” He’s nearing his current fundraising goal of $3,000. “If it looks like it will be exceeded, I bump it up again,” he explained. “Seems better to have an objective that is harder to obtain than one that is easily exceeded.” To donate visit msbiketours.ca and use the “find a cyclist or team” option.

Oak Bay’s 17-year-old school bus is significantly closer to retirement, thanks to the Oak Bay Fire Fighters Charitable Foundation. The foundation, which announced in May that it would dedicate its energies to raising enough money for the new bus, has already pulled in $30,000 of the needed $90,000. The surge came from the group’s first fundraising event, a gala dinner that was hosted at Victoria Golf Club on June 7. One hundred people attended the event, at $200 per ticket, or $350 per couple. “For us, it’s wonderful to be able to have such a great impact locally, and our schools have always been where we want to make that impact,” said Greg Swan, executive director of the foundation, and former Oak Bay student. While Swan says $70,000 is enough to cinch a new vehicle, the full goal will allow Oak Bay more choice in the matter. Swan says fundraising efforts will continue in the fall, but that the firefighters will have a meeting to decide how to raise more funds from here on out. In the meantime, Swan says the group will continue collecting cheques and donations. “This is a really good way to bring the community together,” says Swan. “Everyone wants to be a part of that.” Find out how to donate online at OakBayFirefighters.com. news@mondaymag.com

the students create. For three decades, Camosun grads have put these projects – where they’re paired with industry clients – on display at the annual Capstone Symposium, held this week at the Pacific Forestry Centre in Saanich. “We pride ourselves in our students having a breadth of knowledge coming out of our program, so they can go into a specialty or into something they enjoy,” Schaerer said. “Industry likes the fact that we create these generalists, that they have these multiple areas. They’re not just web programmers, they’re not just Java developers – they can go almost anywhere with minimal training and plough forward because they’ve already had an introduction to it.” The Capstone projects this year also included tech-savvy creations like a remote automated weather station and an aerial drone navigated by GPS. “I wouldn’t know where to start had I not taken the program. All the coding experi-

ence aside, just learning the project management skills and the problem-solving skills were huge,” said student Nick Dronsfield. Along with Shannon Graham and Kameron Chow, Dronsfield created a website called Up in Saanich, where residents can discuss and create Wikipedia-style pages on local topics of interest. While the students say the program was intensive and challenging, they say it was invaluable in getting the necessary skills and experience to work in the industry. “It’s definitely prepared me for a career in the technology field on different levels – like being able to do presentations and speak with clients and gather requirements and solve any problems, if necessary, and also the technical coder skills to be able to deliver solutions for clients,” Rail said.

Council also voted to support increased public education and education on the use of repellent, as well as gaining input from the CRD on how to handle aggressive deer, reviewing road signage and speed limits in the region, tracking complaints. It also formalized participation in the Regional Deer Management Strategy oversight committee. Council abstained from taking a stance on the region’s idea to pursue fencing subsidies or change hunting regulations. While council has been criticized for choosing flowers over wildlife, Mayor Nils Jensen says the issue is much more serious. “If this really was just an argument of

esthetics, as some people have tried to make it sound like, I would vote against this plan,” he said. “This is a matter of health and safety, and what is inhumane is using cars to cull the deer. It’s just not right and it’s up to us to make this hard decision.” As part of the plan to cull, council also passed a motion to have the CRD consider the request by the Ahousaht First Nations off the West Coast of the Island. They would like to move the deer to an old-growth area where they would be hunted in a traditional manner. Residents planned to stage an “Outpouring of Love for the Deer” demonstration on Wednesday, June 26, at the Municipal Hall. Murdoch was invited to attend. news@mondaymag.com

Edward Pang and Chris Rail haven’t even graduated from Camosun College yet, but the pair have already created a smartphone application that may help business owners save money. A working prototype of the Building Occupant Comfort app is their final project as part of the school’s two-year computer systems technology program. The Android app allows users to remotely monitor and control indoor environment settings such as lights, room temperature and building occupancy. “There’s a lot of features implemented in our app. From your phone you can look at the occupancy: ‘Oh, no one’s in that room? I better turn the lights off or turn the temperature down,’” Rail said. The students were paired with Reliable Controls, a Victoria-based company that develops technologically advanced building controls like HVAC systems for large office and commercial buildings. While Reliable Controls already has software that allows users to monitor their systems from a desktop computer, they used Pang and Rail’s newly acquired expertise to put those abilities in the palm of your hand. “It’s quite a complex application. There’s a lot of background activities that occur to ensure that the app is constantly updated live, on the fly, so you’re essentially getting real-time reports on the status of your indoor environment,” Rail said. “So programming this was quite challenging, however we’re really happy that we were able to develop a product that hides all the tricky stuff from the user.” Saryta Schaerer, chair of Camosun’s computer science department, says she’s always impressed by the final projects

Venting session comes too late E

squimalt council faces a tough decision in the next few weeks, that of rezoning lands targeted for a sewage treatment plant. Ahead of that decision, residents of the small municipality will gather in great numbers at a hockey arena more often used to host lacrosse games in early summer than citizen forums. A public hearing will give council members a chance to hear what their constituents really think, among other things, about a) putting the main treatment plant at McLoughlin Point, b) what kinds of uses are appropriate for that land and c) whether rejecting the Capital Regional District’s rezoning application will send the project back to the drawing board or simply force the hand of God (the province) to order the rezoning. It’s not as if Esquimalt’s elected officials don’t already know how their residents feel. If they didn’t feel dumped on enough by the CRD’s choice of McLoughlin Point for the main plant, the prospect of a biosolids centre on Viewfield Road got their blood boiling – even if that issue is not up for discussion at the public hearing. Esquimalt Residents’ Association co-chair Nick Kovacs says the CRD has done a poor job convincing people they have any say in the matter. As such, he says, people look at sewage treatment like the way the HST was forced on the people by the B.C. Liberal government. The CRD has already spent in excess of $20 million in the planning stages for the provincially mandated project and appointed an independent sewage commission to oversee project design and construction, not to mention pencilled in early July for a start on building at McLoughlin Point. It has little appetite to look at other options if Esquimalt says no. By mistakenly assuming the township would fall in step with the project timeline, the CRD has painted itself into a corner and could be forced to ask the province to do the dirty work of forcing Esquimalt to rezone. Such a scenario would see the voices of Esquimalt people, the most affected by this project, effectively ignored, as many of them feel they largely have been all along. What do you think?

In Victoria, the Northern Junk and Janion buildings sat vacant for years before the city was able to force the owner to sell the downtown properties. The Residential Tenancy Act doesn’t provide much help either, and tenants’ advocates in government are few and far between, prompting Godfrey to wonder, “Where do residents turn when it comes to housing that is being allowed to rot down?” In recent weeks, most of the region has been consumed with deciding the fate of its dung and the rest seems content to view housing creation as a race to build the greatest number of luxury homes. While vacancy rates continue to plateau far below the Canadian average and more and more residents struggle to find a home, I’m left wondering how long it will take before we pull our heads out of our sewage and look up.

Thus, for those of you who wonder why Victoria’s LGBT collective stages a flamboyant, rainbow-feathered celebration the first week of July each year, consider where we were and where we are. We no longer are criminals. We officially have ceased to be mentally ill. We now marry. We raise families. We serve in our military, our government and the RCMP. Our affections are no longer closeted. We actually hold hands and – egads! – smooch in public. So, yes, we celebrate societal gains, diversity, acceptance, true self and the day Pierre Trudeau booted Big Brother’s butt out of our boudoirs.

LETTERS CRD biosolids survey misleading: resident After completing a survey for the Capital Regional District on the preferred location of the biosolids energy centre, I feel I am being played by the CRD and the public relations firm who developed the materials. The CRD misrepresents Viewfield Road as an industrial area with a ‘few’ residences nearby. The picture of Viewfield they show is a close-up, so most of what one sees is the proposed property and the sub-station behind it, not the surrounding residential neighbourhood. In reality, the property is very close to hundreds of homes, three large public schools, a church, nonindustrial businesses etc. Alternately, the CRD has a big graphic of a sewage plant in Kelowna surrounded by schools and homes – which were built later. What they fail to mention is that that plant sits on more than three times the land and services one third of the population. The CRD website doesn’t mention its own report, which estimates property values within 500 metres of the biosolids centre could decrease by up to 25 per cent. The CRD also has no comparative analysis of health impacts or a section to indicate health of nearby residents and students as a ranking criteria.

The CRD has no analysis or ranking criteria for impact to air quality, even though its own environmental assessment for a biosolids centre at Hartland landfill indicated air quality impact to be ‘significant.’ There is also no criteria for safety, even though biosolids centres can catch fire, leak and explode. Alberta has laws requiring residences to be no closer than 300m. At Viewfield, the closest residence is 25 m away; at Hartland it’s 1.2 km. The CRD misrepresented the Vic West/Esquimalt community surrounding this site and a lot of the criteria was based on the cons for Hartland – many negatives for Viewfield were not presented for consideration. The survey is structured in such a way that even if Hartland is your preferred choice for the biosolids centre, the ranking criteria for the actual selection will result in Viewfield being the optimal choice.

Change of aid direction worrying to reader Canadians can point with pride to our great success with foreign aid in saving millions of lives through disease prevention programs. But this year we learned that the federal government plans to roll the Canadian International Development Agency into the

Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, just as CIDA is promoting development of foreign resources by Canadian mining companies. I worry CIDA will lose its way. Will we throw away immunization programs to bolster corporate returns? Will maternal and child aid be reduced in the name of CEO bonuses? Are these changes intended to help the world’s poor, or Canadian shareholders? It is imperative that Ministers Baird and Fantino maintain CIDA’s core mandate of poverty reduction and assistance to the world’s poorest. Nathaniel Poole Victoria

HOT SALSA

ust six months after Logan Volkers made his first salsa dancing steps he is training to dance in the World Latin Cup. Volkers took up salsa dancing through Victoria’s Salsa Caliente in January and his dance partner, Olga Mosca, started in September. Last week Mosca and Volkers took first place in the Northwest Amateur Salsa Championship qualifier in Portland, and will now train for the Miami-hosted World Latin Cup semifinals, in December. “They’re doing ridiculously well, but we work them pretty hard, too,” said Christina Morrison, who’s instructed salsa dancers for 15 years, mostly in Victoria. Both attended classes taught by Morrison at Café Casablanca and showed promise. They were soon made partners and trained under Morrison. “They put in the time to dance with all kinds of people in lots of classes, four to five times a week, and that’s how you improve,” Morrison said. The results have been trophy yielding, winning the B.C. and Northwest competitions. Volkers is ready to admit it’s been a quick learning curve. There’s no way he imagined he’d have come this far in six months.

“Guess I’m a fast learner. I previously did a little dancing all over the place, but I think it’s just in my blood,” he joked. “My parents met on the dance floor, country dancing in Alberta.” In all seriousness, it took three years

for a friend to draw the reluctant Volkers to Café Casablanca. He moved to Victoria to do his undergrad and masters in engineering at UVic and now works in a startup software company. With his nights free, he finally obliged. “My first night I did horribly but better than I should have and (Morrison) decided to let me understudy for some of the touring teams. I worked my butt off and when the competition came up, I partnered with (Mosca) to put a routine together,” he said.

approved Mosca had a different path with some previous dance experience. Born in Singapore to Italian parents, Mosca was raised in Rome, Italy, where she figure skated until she moved to Oak Bay as a 14 year old. There, she continued to figure skate and also danced tap for a year. “It’s incredibly exciting to have started in September and already done this well. It’s great to have the people around me who support me so much.”

The Steve Miller Band is on a comeback that includes a show at the Archie Browning Sports Centre on June 30.

The Joker turns 40 llavin@vicnews.com

He’s a picker, he’s a grinner, he’s a lover and he’s a sinner – and yes, Steve Miller is coming to Victoria with his singular sound. Miller has come a long way from The Joker, his U.S. platinum selling album, in the last 40 years. The band formed in 1968, but didn’t find fame until the release of The Joker in late 1973, which was followed up by band’s two most successful studio albums, the 1976 release Fly Like an Eagle and 1977’s Book of Dreams. The announcement of the 2013 tour by the Steve Miller Band follows four of the most pro-

ductive years in Miller’s illustrious career. Miller has released two new albums – the 2010 number one blues album, Bingo, and its successor, Let Your Hair Down – the first new Steve Miller Band records in 18 years. An evening with Steve Miller Band is on Sunday, June 30 at the Archie Browning Sports Centre in Esquimalt at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for the show are available online at hightideconcerts.net; or call the High Tide box office at 250-478-1888; Lyle’s Place 770 Yates St.; Ditch Records, 784 Fort St. and the McPherson Box Office 250-386-6121.

Rookies spice up dance scene Continued from Page A9

The dancers have some intangible qualities that Morrison looks for in competitive dancers. “When we hold auditions each year we look for attitude, personality and work ethic, and they’ve got all of those things,” she said. The goal for competition is never to try to go into it to win, Morrison said, but to do better

than last time by as much as possible. Mosca and Volkers will travel with Morrison this summer to see the pro World Salsa Championships in Puerto RIco, where there will be a chance to train under some of the top dancers in the world. But Volkers already has an understanding of what’s made him and Mosca a successful duo.

“The biggest trick to doing well is to dance like you’re having fun, and as long as you do that, you’re more relaxed and going to seem natural and relaxed, which is a big part of doing well.” Another team of Salsa Caliente dancers, Jess Ruskin and Keith Myler, placed second in Portland.

Local theatre stages a comeback Artistic directors offer a variety of productions to stay afloat by Kyle Wells kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

hen provincial gaming grants for cultural programs were slashed in the middle of an economic downturn, many local theatre groups realized how tenuous their financial

stability is. “That loss created a period of uncertainty and certainly created some deficit situations that some people had a hard time getting out of,” says Ivan Habel, general manager of the belfry Theatre. even though the belfry regained most of that funding, and is doing well, the episode left the company cautious. Habel says the company now thinks twice before developing new works, focusing primarily on staging plays with an assured audience. The scale of plays is also carefully scrutinized each season, with an eye to keeping costs down. Denise brown, theatre manager of langham Court Theatre, says the key to surviving, and thriving, has been finding new audiences while pleasing the regulars. To do this, her theatre stages both crowd-pleasing favourites and more edgy choices to appeal to different audiences. “I think it’s important to do both,” brown says. “In terms of marketing and seeing the sales patterns, I think langham has understood the balance of what their patrons want.” The first two shows of langham’s current season, 84 Charing Cross Road and lady Windermere’s Fan, did well. The established titles and crowd-pleasing comedies

were often sold out. Its third show, That Face, an edgier psychological drama from 2007, written by a 19-year-old playwright, did not sell as well, but brought in a different crowd. “If we don’t adapt, we don’t grow,” brown says. “That’s with any business.” Theatre Inconnu is another charitable, not-for-profit society that relies on funding and a core audience. Clayton Jevne, artistic director and manager, says things are going well for the company, which has a mandate to put on alternative productions. “We try to market ourselves as being a company that does shows that will challenge the audience and that reach out to a certain part of the population,” Jevne says. “I guess we’re targeting a specific kind of person.” Despite staying afloat, Jevne says it would be nice to see more people come out to shows. A 30-year industry vet, Jevne says Victoria’s theatre scene is consistent and that there is enough community interest to keep a wide variety of theatre alive and well. This variety is a sign of a strong industry, said Heather lindsay, general manager for Intrepid Theatre. It means there is still a wide audience for theatre in Victoria, despite a slow economy, and a strong community of artists and theatre companies there to meet the demand. “There just seems to be a lot of great project work happening,” lindsay says. “It’s just really wonderful when there always seems to be a theatre or dance or arts event that’s happening.”

Langham Court Theatre manger Denise Brown says the key to surviving is pleasing the regulars and bringing in new audiences.

When a senior needs assistance

■ BLACK PRESS

Moira Tait is an intelligent and articulate 70-year-old who volunteers at the Victoria Women’s Transition House, helping elderly women who are facing the challenge of abuse. She first came to the organization as a client. “My son was dying of cancer and I was very vulnerable,” she explained. It was during that time that Tait suffered a significant loss of vision, and she became desperate, wondering how she would survive. Tait’s life took a disastrous turn when she was convinced to turn over the bulk of her life savings to renovate her daughter’s Alberta home with the promise she would

be invited to live out her years there. When the renovations were finished and paid for, her daughter reneged on the arrangement and Tait was left out on the street. She had a friend with a basement suite in Victoria, and made her way here in a last ditch effort for survival. “I can’t tell you how humiliating, how embarrassing it was to be an older woman and be in that position and to have to ask for help,” she said. “It just about killed me, and I’m one of the toughest broads I know.” In Victoria, she found Transition House and with their help, Tait emerged

In order to do that, the advocate must enjoy the same independence as the ombudsperson, the auditor general and the representative for children and youth. A day before the legislature adjourned, NDP seniors critic Katrine Conroy (Kootenay West) introduced the Representative for Seniors Act to “establish an independent office of investigation.” This private member’s bill died on the order paper. The question now is: Will the Liberals give Bill 10 a second look? Will they invest the seniors’ advocate with real authority?

The Senior Life

When a senior needs assistance

Q&A

continued from 11

“It’s where things get a little fuzzy. Is financial abuse by an Internet friend or lover any different from being taken advantage of by a flesh and blood person that you have a relationship with? Or is it fraud by a stranger?” said Charmaine Spencer, a lawyer and adjunct professor at Simon Fraser University whose speciality is older adult abuse issues. But the situation is far from hopeless. “The Vancouver Island Health Authority has the right to enter a home and investigate reports of abuse,” said Dianne de Champlain, community education co-ordinator of the Victoria Women’s Transition House. “As well, the Public Guardian and Trustee is a very good entry point for people who are aware of a potentially abusive relationship.” Although it’s important that seniors who are feeling abused or threatened tell someone about their problem and seek help, statistics say that won’t happen. So it’s vital that friends, relatives and neighbours are aware of the potential for abuse. If abuse is suspected, concerns should be reported to VIHA, the Public Guardian and Trustee, the police or to one of the other organizations in the community who deal with elder abuse. One of the most remarkable of Tait’s activities arose from a coping mechanism she embraced during her own period of recovery. She discovered yoga at Transition House and now teaches the activity at various community centres and seniors’ residences. “I may not be a good mediator, but I’m a good, moving meditator,” she said with a laugh. Should you or someone you know need help, or for more information on this topic, contact victimlinkbc.ca or call them at 1-800-563-0808. You may also contact the Vancouver Island Health Authority at viha.ca or by calling 250-370-8323. ● editor@oakbaynews.com

Q A

Her career as an Infant Development Consultant for developmentally delayed children was extremely fulfilling. When a formally premature, blind infant she worked with graduated from UVic she was “bursting with pride for her and her family.”

What is your favourite Oak Bay destination or activity?

I enjoy walking in my neighbourhood. I live in a close community at Harling Point where we know our neighbours and participate in activities together.

Q A

What words of wisdom have you strived to follow from your parents? I think I was influenced by their actions more than words of advice. They were both community volunteers while I was growing up and my mother, at 93 years old, is still involved with Girl Guides. I have volunteered in a variety of areas including dance, children with special needs, kids school, foundations and Girl Guides.

Bob Carter and his companion of 45 years, Frank Ainsworth, 80, moved to Victoria from Toronto 24 years ago. They both worked for the Ontario government but after discovering what the climate and surroundings offered here, took early retirements and moved to Oak Bay. Immediately they became involved with the Oak Volunteer Services Society. Since 1989 Carter has been a volunteer with the CNIB and, with Ainsworth, worked with sighted and visually impaired staff and helped to fund the campaign to renovate and expand the centre. ●

Gaelan de Wolf enjoys good health and activity. She is one of many volunteers at the Monterey Centre, helping at the bazaar and rummage sales. She is on the executive of two Monterey Centre clubs (Computer and Family History) and is a club representative for the Family History Club to the Oak Bay Seniors Activity Association. “The Monterey Centre is a wonderful place to meet people and pursue interests in any of the many clubs,” she says. De Wolf loves Oak Bay sunrises, sunsets, walking on Willows Beach and Cattle Point. ●

Victoria cycling fans aren’t the only ones sweet on Ryder Hesjedal as he enters Saturday’s Tour de France. The West Shore product briefly wore the red jersey, earning a pair of kisses as the second overall cyclist through Stage 2 of the Tour de Suisse earlier in June. He crashed and withdrew on Stage 3. Garmin-Sharp photo

Garmin still sweet on Ryder Ryder Hesjedal leads Garmin into France Travis Paterson News staff

Here he goes again. Ryder Hesjedal tops the list of Garmin-Sharp’s nine riders for the Tour de France, which were named Wednesday from the team’s hotel on the French island of Corsica. The Tour opens with three stages on Corsica, beginning Saturday (June 29) from the picturesque city of Porto Vecchio, before moving to the mainland, where it will wrap the 3,404-kilometres in Paris on July 21. Because it’s the 100th anni-

versary of the race, its route will run completely in France, though it has a history of looping stages through surrounding countries. Hesjedal is once again the team’s go-to man and will be their ace to compete for the yellow jersey. The Belmont secondary grad and former mountain biking Olympian is riding his success as the 2012 Giro d’Italia winner and sixth place finisher at the 2010 Tour de France. At 32, there is much time left for the skinny armed ‘preying mantis,’ as cycling commentators have described him, to win another Grand Tour. Hesjedal is one of five Garmin-Sharp riders returning from Garmin-Cervelo’s Tour de France team title in 2011.

Joining Hesjedal are American veterans Christian Vande Velde and Tom Danielson, up-and-coming Lithuanian Ramunas Navardauskas and British time trial expert David Millar, who were all part of the 2011 team. They make up the core of the team with Irishman Dan Martin, and will all be crucial to Hesjedal’s success in the hunt for yellow. Martin is enjoying a breakout season having won the French one-day classic Liege-BastonLiege and Spanish stage-race Volta a Catalunya. There is one notable exception, American sprinter Tyler Farrar, who is Garmin-Sharp’s only remaining stage winner from 2011. The sprinter hasn’t performed to the same standard this year

and this was left off the team, which is built with hill climbers and general classification riders. The team is debuting three promising young cyclists with Andrew Talansky (U.S.A.), Jack Bauer (New Zealand) and Rohan Dennis (Australia). “We will protect our best general classification options and see how the race shakes out,” said Jonathan Vaughters, GarminSharp CEO. “Our approach is a little unconventional, but we’ve managed to come up with surprises every year at the Tour and we’re hoping for the same as we head into Corsica,” he said. “We will aim to place high in the general classification. Ryder’s won (the Giro d’Italia) and placed top10 in the Tour de France, (Talansky) is young and while it’s his first Tour de France, he is coming off a great season and Martin is having a breakout year.” Questions do surround Hesjedal, as he’s withdrawn from three straight Grand Tours, having crashed out of the 2012 TdF and 2013 Tour de Suisse, and fallen ill during the 2013 Giro d’Italia. All indications are that he’s fully recovered from the heavy blow to the neck and head he suffered in Switzerland earlier this month. Hesjedal was banged up with cuts and contusions to the wrist, hip, shoulder, elbow and both knees. The Tour will be broadcast live each morning on Sportsnet and replayed later in the day. sports@vicnews.com

Teen songwriters need to get busy The Greater Victoria Public Library’s popular Teen Summer Writing Contest is open for registration and has expanded to include a song-writing category, all under the theme of If Only I Had Known. Budding young writers can get a head start on their entries by registering for GVPL writing programs with Victoria’s Youth Poet Laureate Aysia Law, Story Studio writing coach Jody Carrow and singer songwriter Kaya Fraser. Other teen programs include a makerspace demo and workshop, movie-making sessions and craft workshops. Space is limited.
