Charging stations cost Colwood less than $45 Chargers on right used more than left Kyle Wells News staff

Juan de Fuca library has far and away the most popular vehicle charging station in Colwood.

City staff took a look at 2013 usage of the six electric vehicle

charging stations installed in the municipality.

The library station saw just over 194 kilowatt hours of energy going into vehicles.

Second place is one of the chargers at city hall, which was used for a total of 28 hours, totalling

just over 77 kilowatt hours.

Mayor Carol Hamilton said when considering the number of electric vehicles in the area, the numbers are good for a first year.

“It’s no surprise in the numbers. … It’s all in being part of the alternative and supporting other technologies that are not doing the greenhouse gas emissions.”

The only charging station not included in the study is the second one at the library, which currently has a problem with the display and is awaiting servicing.

Average stays for users are between 54 minutes and an hour, the report says. One of the park and ride chargers has an average use of two hours.

One observation in the report is that with pairs of chargers it seems the right hand charger is more popular.

Usage of all the stations has cost the city $44.86 worth of electricity. The stations were paid for through Solar Colwood and funds from the federal government. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Homeless population small but selective H

omeless people on the West Shore choose to live in seclusion rather than the hustle and bustle of downtown Victoria.

“There are homeless people on the West Shore and not a lot of them use services. They just want to get away from the (bull) of downtown and are sick of getting their (stuff) ripped off,” said Roman Witkowsky, a lead outreach worker at Our Charla Huber Place.

Witkowsky, of Reporting Langford, has worked at Our Place Society for more than a decade.

“I used to know a bunch of people living out (on the West Shore) so they could keep a low profile,” Witkowsky said. “I knew some people who would go fishing in Langford Lake and then cook the fish back at their camps.”

While working downtown Victoria, Witkowsky often talks to clients who discuss relocating to the West Shore because they would feel safer and there would be less theft. Distance and lack of

Roman Witkowsky resources keeps the majority of Greater Victoria’s homeless population in Victoria.

There are a few West Shore residents who Witkowsky sees “binning and bottling” who also make their way downtown to Victoria to Our Place.

“They come down here mostly for showers,” he said.

Sandy Bell, a lead outreach worker with Our Place, also lives on the West Shore.

“Homelessness isn’t very evident on the West Shore,” Bell said. “They want to live off-thegrid and a good place to do that is in the bush. They are loners, they hate the downtown scene.”

While the West Shore homeless population is small often they reside in rural areas.

“They are really smart and can

Working poor There are only a few West Shore homeless, but many working poor.

With about 10 known homeless people on the West Shore the Open Door Society feeds about 75 West Shore residents who commute downtown Victoria for free meals.

“There are a lot of people coming here who make $8 to $10 an hour. A good percentage of our people are the working poor,” said Roman Witkowsky, a lead outreach worker at Our Place.

find places to live where people don’t bother them,” said Witkowsky . “It’s almost like a haven for now, but let’s face it, Langford is growing like a weed.”

At the Goldstream Food Bank about a half-dozen homeless people collect hampers and Gayle Ireland, food bank president, tries to provide canned soups and chilli with “pop-top lids” to make it easier for them to eat without a kitchen available.

West Shore RCMP work with homeless people living both rurally and in urban areas in the jurisdiction and estimate there

are around 10 living on the West Shore.

“Downtown (Victoria) is a much smaller jurisdiction than we have here, but we have police on the road 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If people are moving here to avoid police detection we will eventually find them,” said Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz.

“There are more places to tuck away and to make yourself comfortable.”

On occasion, RCMP approach people living outdoors and offer a ride to a homeless shelter in Victoria, but Rochlitz said the offers are often turned down.

“Living out here is people’s choice, there is less competition for places to sleep and it’s just a different scene,” she said, adding people have told RCMP they’ve moved out here to avoid theft of possession from other homeless people.

RCMP say the homeless population is slightly larger in the summer when the weather is better.

“We also get requests from private land owners about how to approach people living on their land,” said Rochlitz. “We look at each situation case by case.” charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Private property a problem At the moment a handful of homeless camps are set up on private land in both Langford and View Royal.

In View Royal, homeless campers keeping warm by a fire aren’t adhering to the district’s burning ban.

“Our residents are not allowed to have any burning,” said Coun. John Rogers.

View Royal residents have reported to the town open fire pits and two homeless camps off Chilco Road in View Royal.

“When you look at the map you see it’s in a heavily forested area. If the wind blows it could burn down Mill Hill,” Rogers said. “It’s also a significant risk to the neighbours on Chilco (Road).”

While the area appears to be public property, it’s private

land.

“There are no fences or signs there,” said Rogers.

“There are two encampments that have been there for at least a year.”

The camps are small with only one or two occupants in each and because it’s private property, the town cannot intervene.

“Staff have been advised they have no jurisdiction and have informed the property owners,” Rogers said.

Rogers is also concerned with the well-being of those living in the bush and other issues including disposal of garbage and human waste.

Langford has similar issues with camps on private land near where the Galloping Goose and Cy

Jenkins trails intersect.

Due to an “accumulation of debris and rubbish” a property there is now in violation of the city’s unsightly premise bylaw, said Lorne Fletcher, Langford manager of community safety and municipal enforcement.

“Langford has very little in regard to homelessness,” said Fletcher, adding bylaw officers are familiar with the homeless population and regular “camping” spots.

He said, locations on private land are selected when the landowner does not live on the property and is not there on a daily or even monthly basis.

Property owners are encouraged to have people check in on vacant lots. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

West Shore continues battle for youth housing

A

Kyle Wells Reporting

s temperatures drop and rain falls Bill McElroy again worries about homeless youth on the West Shore.

The chair of the West Shore Youth Housing Task Force continues to work with others to secure funding for temporary youth housing.

The going hasn’t been easy.

“There are times when I feel like I want to give up, but then I bump into one of these kids again,” McElroy said. “I say, ‘If I’m not going to do this,

nobody’s going to do it and they’re going to go through another winter of being outside.’”

Victoria-based Threshold Housing Society, which houses youth between the ages of 16 and 24, is still keen to open a second facility for Greater Victoria in the West Shore, but are having difficulties raising the startup funding. The West Shore Youth Housing Task Force continues to try to secure money for the project, but recently a couple of potential leads fell through.

McElroy has appealed to the provincial government but was told there’s no funding available for startup projects. The case has been the same with potential private funding.

“Which is frustrating,” he said.

“Once we get going I’m sure there’ll be money, but to get going is difficult.

It’s not a climate where you want to start a new service.”

The project needs about $100,000 in the first year to get started. If some

new leads work out, around $75,000 would be secured in the next few months, leaving a shortfall which McElroy believes will be surmountable.

With Threshold on board and support in place from the local municipalities, the last step is the money, said McElroy. He still hopes the ball can get rolling on a project starting by the end of the year, but admits: “I’m always optimistic.” kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

New street named for Colwood pioneer First homeowner on Triangle Mountain also a distinguished veteran Kyle Wells News staff

A new street dedication on Triangle Mountain will honour its first resident, a veteran with a storied history.

The street, a dead end off of Demel Place, will be named Robson Place, after Robert “Robby” G. Robson, a veteran of two wars and the first resident to live on Triangle Mountain.

“We’re happy to honour him by naming the street after him,” said co-developer Toby Summers. “We tried to be as respectful as we could.”

After a 12-year career with the Canadian Forces, serving in Europe as a paratrooper during the Second World War and in Korea during the conflict there, Robson was searching for his dream property to settle on.

When he discovered the potential for Triangle Mountain, including its panorama view of Victoria Harbour, Robson knew he had found the spot.

Starting in 1959 he designed and built his home with his own hands, the first on Fulton Road.

He ran power from Sooke Road to the site and moved into his house in February, 1962.

“Colwood has always been our home, a community that we are very proud to be a part of,” said Brian Robson, Robby’s son, in a press release.

The street is located on the site of the original Robson family home, a first-growth cedar house which was carefully disassembled and moved to Savary Island.

A viewpoint with a plague dedicating the site to Robson has also been installed on public property in the development.

Your Sight Is Our Vision

The property is being developed by Fritz Karter, second owner of the Robson homestead, where he raised his family.

“Robby had a vision of a beautiful home and he realized that vision when he built a road up Triangle Mountain and his own home near the summit,” said Karger in a statement. “I am pleased to dedicate Robson Place to this Colwood pioneer who helped shape our community.”

Robson was scheduled to attend but not speak at a ceremony dedicating the street yesterday (Oct. 17), after News Gazette deadline. His health is declining, so his son was scheduled to speak on his behalf.

The development is 18 lots on four acres.

For more information on the life and military career of Robson, visit his website at paravet.ca.

Visit www.vicnews.com under the West Shore neighbourhood or visit our Facebook page for photos from the ceremony. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

MAG needs financial rejigging Unaided, gallery to close by Dec. 1 Charla Huber

Airport Consultative Committee Public Meeting

News staff

Metchosin Art Gallery is in financial woe.

“Due to the low economy, sales have been less than we had anticipated. We have been paying a curator, but if sales aren’t there, we can’t afford it,” said Gaert Linnaea, president of the Metchosin Arts and Cultural Association. “The gallery was taking up our resources.”

The association hopes to restructure how the gallery runs by finding a user group willing to lease the space and run the gallery independently. The space is leased through the Sooke School District and overseen by the District of Metchosin.

The gallery will close at the end of November unless a solution is found first.

“Anything can happen,” said Mary Gidney, past-president of the Metchosin Arts and Cultural Association. “I would hope someone would want to rent it starting Dec. 1.”

OUR VIEW

Bright lights on jobs front Grim financial pictures continue to be painted around the country and stories of sluggish economic growth are still making headlines.

In Greater Victoria, however, there are plenty of bright spots on the economic horizon.

This summer’s robust tourism season has helped many astute merchants ease into the shoulder months with a little more comfort.

Many retailers start to hire employees for the Christmas season in mid-November, but we expect some to get the early jump on the competition by bringing in staff to get trained up sooner than that.

Job seekers would do well to polish up their resumés now to avoid being shut out during the Christmas rush to fill jobs. Getting a foot in the door that much sooner can only help a good employee solidify their position within a company more quickly.

The summer was not only vibrant and lucrative in the tourism industry and those related to it.

The region also saw its best real estate summer sales figures in five years, helped by flat year-over-year prices and continued low interest rates. More real estate sales means more people frequenting home decor and hardware stores, which in turn need to hire staff to keep up with demand.

Residential and commercial construction continue to be healthy in the region and are predicted by employment expert Manpower Canada to drive much of the healthy hiring climate for the fall.

Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce CEO Bruce Carter, who has his finger on the pulse of business around the region, expects steady hiring to happen into next year. Not only will the shipbuilding industry ramp up further with the upcoming federal government contracts, he says, the tech sector continues to grow in Greater Victoria.

We’d like to believe that with less severe down time in our local economy, we can see more momentum built to help carry us into next year. After all, having more people working helps everyone enjoy a little better quality of life.

million hectares of farmland in the region – an area about the size of Saskatchewan – have been planted with soybean and corn genetically modified to tolerate herbicides, known as “Roundup Ready” crops.

Instead of tilling fields, farmers spray herbicides that kill all plants but the crop. This has wiped out much of the milkweed.

With a decline of monarchs in Mexico and pervasive threats during migration, it wasn’t entirely surprising that they arrived in Canada six weeks later than normal this summer in unprecedented low numbers. While the future of the monarch looks bleak, we can all help ensure its survival.

At home you can create a butterfly garden to provide habitat and food for monarchs and other pollinators. Plant milkweed and nectar-producing native flowers, like wild bergamot, New England aster and black-eyed Susans – especially ones with yellow, pink, orange and purple flowers. Adding these plants to gardens, balconies, parks and green spaces – and encouraging local schools, businesses and institutions to do the same – will help bees and butterflies stay healthy and well-fed.

So, while the monarchs have already begun their journey south, I encourage you to start preparing for next year’s butterflies. Head to your local nursery and get your milkweed on. And do what you can to bring nature to your neighbourhood.

LETTERS Crosswalks a dangerous place Re: Invisibility cloaks can stay at home (Our View, Oct. 16) I recently bought some reflective tape to sew on my black winter coat because I cross Quadra Street quite often to catch the bus.

Even though I always use the lighted crosswalk, I am always afraid I will not be seen due to inattention by a driver combined with the huge volume of traffic on this street.

I try to make sure I have eye contact with the driver but wonder about whether the drivers in other lanes will rocket past the crosswalk.

Scientist picked for their knowledge The medical health officers, university biologists and oceanographers who were given the job of monitoring the Greater Victoria sewage outfalls were selected because they would know best.

The Capital Regional District plans to spend nearly $1 billion based on the notion that they know better.

As both an American and British study have determined that long sewage outfalls can protect the sea better than land-based treatment, it follows that once the plant is built, the best way to protect the

environment would be to shut it down and go back to the long outfalls.

A ludicrous position but precisely true.

Non-smokers have rights, too Re: Tougher smoking restrictions months away (News, Oct. 16) Smokers have had their own way for more than 200 years. There was never any concern about anyone’s health; smokers just lit up wherever they wished, and still do.

It’s about time they were concerned about other people’s personal freedom and public health concerns besides their own. I am a nonsmoker, and guess what? I am supposed to have rights too!

Paul Collins Langford

Current pot laws simply unfair Re: Marijuana referendum misguided (News, Oct. 8) Imagine the current pot smoker in B.C. He is arrested for possession and acquires a criminal record. Then, if he is a teacher or other public employee, he loses his job. You can’t work in public service with a record. If he has a mortgage, he loses his house.

If he is financing a car, bye-bye car. If he goes to find a new

job, good luck. A long list of jobs require a criminal record check. If he wishes to visit American cousins to relieve his stress, he finds that he is permanently on the no-fly list, a condition that even an official pardon will not change.

If our arrestee is a youth, he is put through youth court, a process that traumatizes both him and his family, something that would never have happened had he been caught with a beer. Under Sensible B.C.’s amended police act, there would be none of the above. Youth would be dealt with in the same manner as youth caught drinking alcohol.

Is it enough? No. We want a legal system. But eliminating that trauma listed above is much more than a gesture, hip or otherwise. It would save millions of tax dollars, and countless personal lives from the legal shredder.

And as to the “criminal distributers,” of which you disapprove, well, some of them are pot farmers, aren’t they?

Maybe if we decriminalized, we could all learn to call them something like that.

Ocean radiation too big of a risk Re: Despite Fukushima, eating fish is safe (Science Matters, Oct. 11) In the last couple of weeks, marine biologists,

This week’s online poll nuclear scientists and environmentalists have issued reports about the high levels of radiation they’re finding in all sea life across the Pacific Ocean.

This means my husband and I will no longer eat any fish or kelp or sea salt from the Pacific Ocean, no matter how local, sustainable, wild, organic, etc., they otherwise are.

You can imagine how shocked my husband and I were reading Dr. Suzuki’s column. I never thought he would choose protecting the fishing industry over protecting people, animals and habitats and would instead promote doing something so dangerous as eating anything from the Pacific at this time.

Since Fukushima, I have been waiting for our government, federal and provincial, and folks like Dr. Suzuki to address what is becoming the worst nuclear disaster in human history. People need to know if they’re eating radioactive seafood and ingesting radioactive isotopes which cause a variety of cancers.

If Dr. Suzuki is willing to take his chances, that is his decision. As public policy, such a stance is negligent at best, dangerous at worst. The consequences of promoting eating radioactive seafood -- with the caveat that it’s OK as long as it is local and sustainable -- are enormous.

How boomers affect your business W

e all know Canada’s population is aging.

But how will changing demographics affect your business?

First, the good news. Aging consumers have different buying habits, so that means opportunities if you’re creative. The bad news is that as baby boomers retire, many businesses will face labour shortages because not enough younger workers will be around to take their place.

Either way, businesses that don’t adapt to the reality of the aging population could face severe challenges and are going to miss opportunities, says Pierre Cléroux, Chief Economist at the Business Development Bank of CanIn the next 20 years, ada. the median age The impacts are already of Canadians being felt in some sectors is expected and regions where busito rise to nesses are struggling to 45, up from find younger employees to 26 in 1991. replace retiring boomers.

CAPTAIN HANKS - Tom Hanks tells the true pirate tale of Captain

Phillips at Odeon, SilverCity, Empire Uni 4 and Westshore. Supplied photo.

Film OPENiNG

CARRIE -(Odeon/SilverCity/Empire Uni 4/Westshore) Stephen King’s horror classic gets a remake at the hands of Kimberly Pierce (Boys Don’t Cry). Chloe Grace Moretz plays the shy high school outcast, while Julianne Moore is her religiously obsessed mom.

ESCAPE PLAN -(SilverCity/ Westshore) Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger team up in a brutal actioneer about two convicts who will do anything to break out of the world’s most secure prison.

FIFTH ESTATE -(Odeon/SilverCity) Benedict Cumberbatch stars as Julian Assange, the megalomaniac maestro behind WikiLeaks, in a much-anticipated drama that has been widely praised for superb performances and an even-handed look at a morally complicated topic. ★★½ LEE DANIELS’ THE BUTLER -(Caprice) Forest Whitaker heads up an amazing cast in a true story about a black butler at the White House whose long tenure there overlapped with the long struggle of the American civil rights movement.

Costarring Alan Rickman, John Cusack, Lenny Kravitz, and Oprah

Winfrey. Although a bit ponderous and unimaginative, this is still a fine history lesson. ★★½ THE WORLD’S END -(Roxy, 7:00) In a disappointing but occasionally funny follow-up from the makers of Shaun of the Dead, five old friends reunite for a pub crawl only to find themselves in a droll sci-fi action-adventure of epic proportions.

Starring Simon Pegg.

CONTiNUiNG

★★★★ BLUE JASMINE -(Caprice) Cate Blanchett is headed for an Oscar nomination for her role as an emotionally fragile woman struggling to recover after her life as a glamorous socialite implodes.

Complete with a great cast, this is one of Woody Allen’s best films. Ever. ★★★★ CAPTAIN PHILLIPS -(Odeon/SilverCity/Empire Uni 4/ Westshore) Talented director Paul Greengrass (Bourne Supremacy) tells the true tale of a ship captain (Tom Hanks) whose boat is captured

by Somali pirates. Tense but also thoughtful, this is a thriller with a brain. See review in the monthly Monday Magazine.

CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS 2 -(SilverCity/

Westshore/Empire Uni 4) The wacky animated comedy about an infamous machine that churns out scary foodanimal hybrids was popular enough to merit a sequel. Consider yourself warned! With the vocal talents of Bill Hader, Anna Faris, and Will Forte. ★★½ DESPICABLE ME 2 -(Caprice) The 2010 original, about a loathsome criminal mastermind who was reformed by the love of three young orphan girls, was a goofy delight.

The sequel, although still clever, is much more scattershot, with an unimaginative plot and unwelcome dashes of mean spiritedness. Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig, and Russell Brand supply the voices. ★★½ ELYSIUM -(Caprice) Matt Damon and Jodie Foster star in a futuristic sci-fi thriller where the Earth has become a polluted ghetto and the lucky few get to live in luxury on a floating space station orbiting languidly above. Well, that’s about to change. It’s hard to argue with the politics, but this new film by the writer-director of District 9 is too heavy-handed and cliched to take seriously. ★★★½ ENOUGH SAID -(Odeon) The latest from delightfully quirky writer-director Nicole Holofcener

(Please Give, Friends With Money) features a divorced woman who sets her sights on a man – only to learn that he is the much-loathed ex-husband of her new gal pal. This sweet, clever, sexy, and insightful sort-of romantic comedy stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Catherine Keener and, sigh, the late James Gandolfini. ★★★½ GRAVITY -(Odeon/ SilverCity/Empire Uni 4/Westshore) Sandra Bullock and George Clooney star in a harrowing, brilliantlyexecuted thriller about two astronauts aboard a space station who survive an accident only to find themselves drifting helplessly through space, with little hope of rescue or survival.

MACHETE KILLS -(SilverCity) The irrepressible Robert Rodriguez (Sin City, Grindhouse) churns out a lurid, jokily-violent sequel to his drive-instyle splatterfest about a macheteswinging dude (Danny Trejo) with a gory taste for vengeance. Co-starring Mel Gibson, Michelle Rodriguez, Lady Gaga, and Antonio Banderas.

THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS: CITY OF BONES -(Caprice) Only the bones were left after the critics universally savaged this derivative, overwrought tale of a young woman who discovers that she has unusual powers as she gets drawn into a battle involving a band of angel-like creatures struggling to quash a demonic threat to the entire world. ★★★½ PRISONERS -(Westshore) Quebec director Denis Villeneuve (Incendies) has been getting great praise for this bleak and violent police procedural about two kidnapped girls and the dad who will do anything to get them back. The superb cast includes Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Viola Davis, Terrence Howard, and Melissa Leo. THE RIGHT KIND OF WRONG -(Odeon/SilverCity/Westshore) In this romantic comedy a dishwasher falls in love with a bride on the day of her wedding. Too bad she’s marrying

another dude. ★★½ ROMEO & JULIET -(SilverCity) Shakespeare’s immortal romantic tragedy returns to the silver screen in lush period detail, this time in an adaptation by novelist Julian Fellowes (Downton Abbey). Despite its authentic setting, this is a mostly dull affair, marred especially by the lack of romantic chemistry between the two leads.

RUNNER RUNNER -(Westshore) A smart college student with a knack for gambling (Justin Timberlake) hooks up with a sinister offshore entrepreneur (Ben Affleck) who runs an online poker empire from a corrupt Caribbean island. This has become one of the worst-reviewed movies of the year. ★★★★ RUSH -(Odeon/SilverCity) Gifted mainstream director Ron Howard (Apollo 13) delivers highoctane thrills and lots of human drama as he tackles this biopic about the legendary 1970s rivalry between Formula 1 race car drivers James Hunt and Niki Lauda.

TURBO -(Caprice) The latest from Dreamworks Animation is a family comedy about an ordinary garden snail who acquires magic powers – and the chance to achieve his dream of winning the Indy 500. With the voices of Ryan Reynolds, Paul Giamatti, Maya Rudolph, and Samuel L. Jackson. ★★★★ WATERMARK -(Odeon) The newest collaboration between documentary filmmaker Jennifer Baichwal and renowned photographer Edward Burtynsky (Manufactured Landscapes) is a profound and engaging meditation on our complex relationship with water – and especially how our use of technology is affecting the world’s water supplies. ★★½ WE’RE THE MILLERS -(Caprice) Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston star in a crass comedy about a long-time pot dealer who hires a stripper and two feral

teens to pretend to be his middle class family as cover for when he smuggles a massive load of weed across the border from Mexico to the States.

Intermittently quite funny, this is a case of talented performers struggling with a second-rate script. ★★★ WOLVERINE -(Roxy, 8:55) Hairy-faced and Adamantium-clawed Hugh Jackman travels to Japan to confront the diabolical Silver Samurai, in an entertaining Marvel Comics smackdown that combines X-men flair with martial arts and yakuza elements.

SCREENiNGS

MOVIE MONDAY - is screening Mars Project, a unique look at the challenges of schizophrenia.

This film features the strange journey of Canadian rap icon Khari “Conspiracy” Stewart, whose musical output is a dark catalogue of his experiences with the demons in his mind and his struggles with the Canadian medical system (whose drug-based treatments he long-since rejected in favour of his own spiritual approach to dealing with his illness).

6:30 pm Monday in the 1900-block Fort. By donation. 595-FLIC. moviemonday.ca.

CiNECENTA

Cinecenta at UVic screens its films in the Student Union Building. Info: 721-8365. ★★★★ BLUE JASMINE -(Fri.Sat., Oct. 18-19: 3:00, 7:00, 9:00; Sun., Oct. 20: 3:00, 7:00; Mon., Oct. 21: 7:00 only) Cate Blanchett is headed for an Oscar nomination for her role as an emotionally fragile woman struggling to recover after her life as a glamorous socialite implodes.

Complete with a great cast, this is one of Woody Allen’s best films. Ever. ★★★½ THE THING -(Fri.-Sat.,

weekend Oct. 18-19: 11:00 pm only) John Carpenter was in brilliant form in this terrifying 1982 remake of the sci-fi classic about a remote Arctic research lab that gets invaded by a shape-shifting horror from outer space.

PLANES -(Sat.-Sun., Oct. 19-20: 1:00 matinee) The same people who made Cars have taken to the skies with a similar family-friendly animated tale about a crop-dusting plane with dreams of winning a famous aerial race. ★★★★ JAWS -(Tues., Oct. 22: 7:00, 9:20) Steven Spielberg’s brilliantly-told tale about a monster shark terrorizing a group of vacationers is one of the greatest thrillers ever filmed. ★★★½ FRUITVALE STATION -(Wed.-Thurs., Oct. 23-24: 7:15, 9:00) This truth-based reenactment of the turbulent last day of a young black man in 2008 is understated and heartbreaking.

THE ViC THEATRE

COMPUTER CHESS -(Fri.-Mon., Oct. 18-21: 7:00) Chess buffs should savour this comedy, set in the 1980s, that features a man-versus-machine chess tournament.

OUR NIXON -(Tues.-Thurs., Oct. 22-24: 7:00) It’s our turn to snoop on President Richard Nixon, via this documentary comprising neverbefore-seen Super-8 home-movie footage shot by Nixon’s closes aides – you know, those guys convicted as Watergate co-conspirators. Featuring Henry Kissinger, H.R Haldeman, and John Erlichman.

Regular screening is one of the best ways to avoid the risk of developing cervical cancer.

With that in mind, the Island Sexual Health Society has launched a three-step challenge for women in an effort to reduce the number of cases of cervical cancer in B.C. Bobbi Turner, the society’s executive director, says the first step is becoming educated about the importance of screening.

“Sometimes the cells of the cervix become abnormal. Over time, these cells can change to cervical cancer,” she said.

The second step is to get screened. Island Sexual Health, the region’s only dedicated sexual health care service provider, conducted nearly 4,000 screenings last year.

“Screening helps to find (those) abnormal cells early when they can be easily removed,” Turner added.

The third step is to donate to the non-profit society. Island Sexual Health offers sex education and support, as well as a wide range of clinical services, including pap smears and testing for sexually transmitted infections and pregnancy. It serves roughly 22,000 clients every year.

Of the 4,000 cervical cancer screenings it did last year, nearly one-quarter required some type of follow up.

To further promote their Cervical Cancer Screening Challenge, the society is hosting two drop-in cervical cancer screening clinics for women without access to a family doctor or a GP. They happen at the Island Sexual Health Centre, 101-3960 Quadra St., on Oct. 25 from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m., and Nov. 6 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. For more information on the campaign or to book a pap test appointment outside of these hours, call 250-5923479. kslavin@saanichnews.com

ROB MICKELBERRY’S JOURNEY TO THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY

FUNERAL CHAPELS

By Arbor Memorial

317 Goldstream Ave • 250-478-3821

After nearly a year travelling on a “rock star” bus from one end of North America to another, Rob Mickelberry, his wife and three children were ready to re-establish permanent roots back home in Victoria.

“We bought a property while we were on the road,” says Rob, “then lived in the old house while we sub-divided the lot and built a new home that would be ours.”

Because Rob wanted the home – completed in May 2013 – “for the long haul,” he was determined it would not cost a fortune to run.

Rob Mickelberry

By calling in certified energy advisors City Green Solutions early in the design process, Rob was able to build-in a number of refinements – including an air source heat pump, triple glazing, a heat recovery ventilation system and extra insulation – that resulted in the home achieving a remarkable EnerGuide 88 rating from Natural Resources Canada.

That makes it, says Mike Young of City Green, “approximately 59 per cent more energy efficient than if this home had been built to BC Building Code standards.” It will also save Rob an estimated $1,500 to $1,800 a year on his energy bills.

Icing on the cake: the high EnerGuide rating also qualified Rob for $2,000 in incentives from the BC Hydro Power Smart New Home Program, and he’s eligible for the ENERGY STAR® Package incentive of $150 per home for installing qualified energy-efficient lighting and appliances.

Bulldogs ready for a fight Travis Paterson News staff

It’s a good time to be bullish as the Belmont Bulldogs are hitting their stride at the right time of the season, coming off a 22-13 road win over the Notre Dame Jugglers (0-3) on Friday (Oct. 11).

The Bulldogs (2-1) host the Vancouver College Fighting Irish (2-2) at Goudy Turf today (Oct. 18), 3:30 p.m. It’s the second game of a AAA B.C. High School Football league double header, as the Mount Douglas Rams (3-0) host the Handsworth Royals (2-0) in the earlier game at 1 p.m.

Bulldogs coach Kevin Harrington knows the Fighting Irish are going to be a much stronger opponent than winless Notre Dame.

The Bulldogs should have scored two more touchdowns against Notre Dame on Friday, as two touchdown recep-

“They were wide open.

But hey, we played well and won anyways,” Harrington said.

Tight end Edgar Nelson caught two TD receptions from quarterback

Sam Holland. Sam Varao rushed for a TD and 86 yards total, with Jordan Worth tacking on 100 yards rushed. Kicker Hugo Lewis converted two TDs and Worth ran in a two-point conversion.

Brady Lockwood made an interception in the first half and Jamie Pacheco, a D lineman, made another one to shut down Notre Dame’s final drive.

The Bulldogs will be too busy preparing to

watch the Rams vs. Royals, which is ironic as they’re the Bulldogs remaining two opponents. The Bulldogs play Handsworth on Oct. 25 and are at home to the Rams, Nov. 1 at Westhills Stadium.

The Rams continued its strong season as the No. 1-ranked team in B.C. defeated the top AA school South Delta 55-20 in exhibition play on Saturday.

Marcus Davis, quite possibly the premier Canadian recruit this year, was nearly untouchable. In 11 touches, Davis scored on runs of 66, 15 and 24 yards, caught TD passes of 38 and 40 yards from QB Ashton MacKinnon, intercepted a South Delta pass and returned it 48 yards for a TD, and returned a kickoff 70 yards for a TD. Seven touchdowns. Julian Luis scored the other Rams touchdown. sports@vicnews.com

Island Indoor tourney draws talented field Travis Paterson News staff

Former world No.1-ranked junior tennis player Filip Peliwo is in Victoria this weekend for the South Island Indoor Challenge men’s tournament at Cedar Hill Recreation Centre.

Peliwo’s presence is the latest evidence of the cash tournament’s growing field of elites as the most prestigious tournament on the Victoria tennis calendar.

The total prize purse is $15,000 with $5,000 for the winner, $3,500 for second, and $2,000 for third.

The top prize of $5,000 is actually less than last year, as organizers were uncomfortable with the final going to a tiebreaker, in which a $4,500 point was played.

Instead, the money has been spread more evenly, as per players wishes.

“This is by far our best lineup ever. To see this level of pro tennis in Victoria is unbelievable.

In just four years we have made the Indoor Challenge the premier indoor tennis event in Canada,” Indoor Challenge co-director Dean Gills said.

The tournament kicked off with Peliwo, of Vancouver, taking on hometown qualifier Patrick Flint on Thursday. Results were past press time.

Last year Peliwo was top junior ITP player with wins at Wimbledon and the US Open, while making the finals of the Australian and French opens. He was the first junior to reach all four Grand Slam event finals since Sweden’s Stefan Edberg in 1983.

Spectators hoping to see Peliwo this weekend better get there early said co-director John Miller.

“Last year we had standing room only crowd for the finals.

This year, with Peliwo and several other quality players here, we expect to sell out every day.

Peliwo’s achievement last year was one of the greatest achievements in Canadian tennis history.”

Flint vs. Peliwo was one of four matches Thursday, as African Davis Cup member Rik De Voest played Daniel Chu (Vancouver).

Former ATP doubles specialist Brian Battistone is also here with his two-handled racquet, The Natural.

The round robin format tournament continues today at 5 p.m. and throughout Saturday, with the final scheduled for 1 p.m. on Sunday. Weekend passes for the tournament are $20 for adults and $10 for youth (under 18) and are available at Courtside Sports and Cedar Hill Recreation Centre.

Argentina ahead Teen debuts in loss to U.S. Travis Paterson News staff

With the growth of American rugby and that country’s depth of quality athletes, it’s inevitable, really, that the U.S. will overtake Canada in rugby someday.

It was a surprise on Tuesday, however, when the Americans pulled off their first win in the Americas Rugby Championship since 2010, beating Canada 30-10 in front of nearly 2,500 fans at Westhills Stadium. After all, Canada is coming off a twogame sweep of the U.S. in the Rugby World Cup qualifiers in August.

The U.S. Eagles select XV weren’t particularly dominant as the Canada ‘A’ squad struggled with ball handling and were seldom able to mount an attack beyond two or three phases.

The Canadians (1-1) now face Argentina (2-0) in "the final match of the ARC on Saturday, 8 p.m. at Westhills Stadium.

Argentina won the early game on Tuesday, 34-10 over Uruguay.

Canada had opened the tournament with a 17-10 of Uruguay (0-2). The latter will face U.S.A. (1-1) at 6 p.m. on Saturday.

Canada has yet to beat Argentina in the ARC, as the South American program has become a powerhouse challenging the world’s top rugby nations.

“I’d trust (fly half Giuseppe Du Toit) any day to make a kick.”

– Adam Kleeberger

“There’s some things to work on but I still have confidence in our team, we have to have a short memory for Saturday,” Canadian captain Adam Kleeberger said.

The 2011 Rugby World Cup veteran wore No. 8 and was also promising at times. But nothing could go right long enough for Canada to sustain an attack.

The U.S. simply made less mistakes and grew more confident as the game wore on, while creeping ahead on the solid kicking of fullback Joe Cowley, who hit three penalties, two of them from (approximately) 45 yards, while converting all three U.S. tries.

“It sucks that we didn’t get

those lucky breaks that can change the game, but that's the way it goes,” said Canadian winger Jordan Wilson-Ross.

At the centre of Canada’s attack was 18-year-old fly half Giuseppe Du Toit (Maple Ridge). A Shawnigan Lake grad in June, Du Toit leapfrogged Canada's under-20 program, which competed at the Junior World Rugby Trophy, and went from the U18 B.C. rugby team this past summer to the UVic Vikes in September and now the ARC. Clearly coach Kieran Crowley has a lot of faith in Du Toit, as do the team.

“Going to the Vikes was a step up, and now it’s another step up, but that’s how it is in rugby, you’ve got to rise to the occasion,” Du Toit said.

Canada’s attack was far from crisp and it shouldn’t fall on the shoulders of the young rookie, said Kleeberger.

“Full credit to Giuseppe for trusting himself, I’d trust him again any day to make a kick,” Kleeberger said.

“There’s always going to be that pressure (on Du Toit), he’s a mature player, he showed it in practice all week and positioned himself well today in the game.” sports@vicnews.com

Vikes entertain Wilfrid Laurier The University of Victoria Vikes women’s basketball gets a look at eastern competition as Wilfrid Laurier visits for an exhibition tournament this weekend in UVic’s McKinnon Gym. The Vikes face Wilfrid Laurier tonight at 8 p.m. and again on Sunday at noon. The Camosun Chargers women’s team take on a big challenge against a Thompson Rivers team that won 15 Canada West games last year. Tip off is 6 p.m. tonight. Thompson and Wilfrid meet at 2 p.m. Saturday. Wilfrid Laurier finished 11-10 in Ontario’s West division last year.

Jenna Bugiardini of the UVic Vikes lands under Jordyn Peacock of the visiting George Fox Bruins (NCAA Div. III) from Newberg, Ore. in CIS basketball exhibition at UVic’s McKinnon Gym on Oct. 12. The Bruins won 80-73.

Mayfair set to sparkle on its 50th birthday More than 30 years after the fact, Mayfair Shopping Centre building services technician Bruce Knight remembers well the early days of his career at the mall. He was originally hired for summer relief in 1983.

The following year he was among many new full-time hires as the mall underwent a major expansion, the first of a series of improvements that happened over the following six years.

As he helps Mayfair Don Descoteau prepare to celebrate its Biz Beat 50th anniversary with visitors and mall staff today (Oct. 18), Knight recalls the look of the place when he started.

“It was just really small. All we had was from basically where Anne Louise (Jewellers) and Purdy’s (Chocolates) are now, down to where admin is,” he says, listing stores that are well inside the current entrances.

It was even smaller in 1963, when it opened as one of the region’s first shopping centres, one in which most stores and services had outdoor entrances.

The first major changes came in 1974.

“There was the big trend in the ’70s when everything got enclosed,” says Mayfair marketing manager Julie McCracken.

Woodward’s department store, with its food floor, book department and candy counter a destination for many area families, was the anchor tenant in those days. As shopping and mall trends

Patrons relax in the original food area evolved, further changes occurred.

A major expansion happened in 1984 when Consumers Distributing opened up, followed in 1985 by an expanded food court and in 1990 by a larger expansion that added a number of new stores and saw the food floor taken out.

Many teenagers learned to drive in the vacant Mayfair parking lot on Sundays or evenings over the years. The advent of Sunday openings in 1986 cut down the time available for such educational sessions at Mayfair.

In recent years Mayfair has cultivated its standing as a fashion hotbed, with such retailers as Banana Republic, Sephora, Aerie, American Eagle, The Gap and Eddie Bauer moving in.

y e l a G ms by day is Far

The centre is home to the lone Vancouver Island outlet for some retailers, such as Bath and Body Works, which opened recently to lineups and excitement.

Mayfair general manager Ken Hoang says the marketplace has exploded in the past 10 to 15 years in Greater Victoria.

“As a consumer I see that as a fantastic thing; there’s a lot of options,” he says.

“But that obviously leads to increased competing pressure. That helps push us and keeps us moving forward and drives the motivation to innovate.”

Consumers are looking at shopping centres to be something that is allencompassing, Hoang says, which means it’s all about the experience. A way to enhance that, he adds, is by staging special events such as today’s anniversary celebration, which offers both a look back in time and a thank you to the community who have kept the mall thriving for 50 years.

The 50th anniversary event runs from 5 to 8 p.m., with a fashion show at 7 p.m. and numerous draws and special offers.

Manage stress naturally improve energy, sleep Better, Reduce Cravings

By Karen Jensen, ND Our ability to adapt to stress depends upon optimal function of the adrenal glands. When excess or chronic stress overloads our adrenal glands - symptoms and disease can occur. Some of the common earlier symptoms of adrenal stress include: fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, depression, low back pain, asthma, allergies, blood sugar problems, hormonal imbalances, irritability, headaches, sugar cravings, gastrointestinal symptoms and inflammatory conditions.

The ‘roots’ of the original AdrenaSense Formula Throughout my life I had good health and boundless energy and then suddenly in my early 30’s I hit the wall with fatigue… I had three children under the age of 3, my marriage broke up, and I went back to work thinking I could ‘do it all’. My body did not agree… nothing helped the crippling fatigue until I saw a naturopathic doctor who introduced me to my adrenal glands.

Forty years later I still take adrenal support during times of added stress. When I started naturopathic practice in the 1980’s it was my own experience with adrenal fatigue that allowed me to recognize it in my patients and over the years I saw the need for an effective adrenal supplement to help people with the stressors and demands of daily living.

There is much more awareness about adrenal fatigue today and also other adrenal fatigue formulas on the market. AdrenaSense® is the original solution I formulated for patients and others who have found it very effective.

The Original AdrenaSense Formula: The herbs in the AdrenaSense formula are called adaptogens that have been proven to support stress reactions and normalize adrenal function. These include Rhodiola, Suma, Schizandra Berries, Siberian Ginseng and Ashwagandha, which in combination, enhance mental and physical performance; balance the nervous system helping with anxiety and insomnia; support the immune, cardiovascular and hormonal systems; counteract fatigue, anxiety and depression; provide vital energy and act as a ‘general tonic’ to support the effects of stress and fatigue.

Flu shots given to people at high risk of complications

Public health clinics, pharmacies and doctors across Vancouver Island will be providing free flu shots to people at high risk of complications from influenza and their close contacts, as well as other vulnerable groups.

Public Health clinics open starting the week of Oct. 28. Check with your local public health unit for details or online at viha.ca/flu.

“People who are at high-risk can suffer severe complications or even death from influenza,” said Dr. Dee Hoyano, medical health officer for the Vancouver Island Health Authority.

“The most common complication, particularly for elderly people, is pneumonia, an infection of the lungs. Influenza can also lead to other complications for people who have heart, lung or other health conditions.”

New this year is the availability of a nasal spray influenza vaccine, free for eligible children aged two to 17.

It is the preferred vaccine for children two to eight years of age because it provides better protection in young children than the inactivated influenza vaccine given by injection. It also offers the advantage of being needle-free.

Free flu shots are provided to the following groups: n People 65 and older and their caregivers. n Children and adults with chronic health conditions, their household and close contacts. n Health-care workers. n Emergency responders. n Healthy children from six months of age to less than five years old. n Household contacts and caregivers of children from birth to less than five years of age. n Pregnant women at any stage of pregnancy. n Residents of nursing homes and other chronic care facilities. n Owners and operators of poultry farms. n Aboriginal peoples. n People who are very obese (those with a body mass index of 40 or greater). n Corrections officers and inmates in provincial correctional institutions. n Those who provide care or service in potential outbreak settings housing high risk persons (e.g. crew on ships).

Care Card or other government ID is required.

Eligible individuals may also get their free vaccine from their doctor or pharmacy.

Even if you are a healthy adult, if you have regular contact with anyone in these high risk groups, medical officials recommend you help protect them by getting immunized. Influenza is easily transmitted from person to person, even before symptoms show. Those not eligible for the free vaccine can be vaccinated by your family physician or pharmacist for a nominal cost.
