Cattle farm fight stuck in the mud Gordon Head residents ask landowners, District to find fix to land standoff

Travis Paterson News staff

Neighbours of an urban cattle farm in Gordon Head are hoping to break the ongoing stalemate between the landowners and municipality with a petition that

supports the farm’s removal from the Agricultural Land Reserve.

The farm, owned by the Alberg family, enters its second season as a cattle feedlot this fall after council twice turned down development proposals for the site; the number of cattle will increase to

80 head by October.

“The cattle farm is senseless, destructive and unnecessary,” said Ted Lea, one of 326 residents whose name is on a petition to convince council to rezone the property and divide it into 16 residential development lots.

“The Albergs are co-operative with us and we want to see Saanich move forward with the development,” Lea said.

Electronic cigarettes, a crack down on party buses and emergency response services are some of the topics being debated at this week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities conference in Whistler.

Buried amongst those resolutions for the annual gathering of mayors and councillors is a Saanich motion that asks the provincial government to re-evaluate its climate change goals in partnership with municipalities.

“This is not new to UBCM,” said Coun.

Vic Derman, who put forward the resolution. “We had a conference a few years ago in which climate change was a feature topic. I’m just trying to hold everyone’s feet to the fire.”

While similar to previous resolutions, the UBCM hasn’t yet approved a resolution since the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released revised reports earlier this year.

The resolution also calls on the federal government to work with other countries on replacing the Kyoto Protocol with another climate change treaty.

Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard said the UBCM convention provides a good opportunity to check the pulse of B.C. communities.

“There’s always tension with the resource communities versus the urbanites,” Leonard said.

“Burnaby is pushing a late resolution on Kinder Morgan, which will be interesting.”

Burnaby wants UBCM delegates to vote to oppose Kinder Morgan’s proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline twinning.

The city is fighting the pipeline company’s attempts to access Burnaby parkland for route design.

“It’s the tone and temperament in the room that’s quite interesting,” said Leonard, a former UBCM chair who also sits on the municipal finance authority, which allows municipalities to borrow cash for infrastructure projects.

“We’re one of the few local governments with AAA credit rating. We’ve got a better credit rating than Barack Obama,” he quipped.

Victoria is also putting forward a motion calling for the province to share any gains in liquor tax it reaps through looser liquor policies to bolster liquor licence inspections, addiction treatment, policing and late night transit service.

Premier Christy Clark will give her usual annual UBCM address to delegates on Friday morning.

n The growing popularity of “vaping” with e-cigarettes instead of smoking tobacco is another topic up for debate this week the convention. Health officials fear e-cigs are too easy for children to get and that, while they may reduce the damage of smoking for nicotine addicts, they act as a gateway into smoking for others.

The B.C. Healthy Living Alliance argues there’s inadequate research on health risks from toxins or potential nicotine poisoning from inhaling the vapours.

It wants the same restrictions on smoking and tobacco sales slapped on e-cigarettes, so they can’t be sold to minors, advertised or used in public places where smoking is banned.

Their use to defy public smoking bans risks unravelling a “powerful deterrent to tobacco use” and could “lead to renormalization,” says the alliance, whose members include UBCM, health authorities and other organizations. n The group also recommends a ban on candy and fruit flavours that appeal to youth, enforced standards for the “e-juice” liquids and that e-cigarettes look different from traditional ones.

The battery-powered devices can also be used to ingest marijuana.

Chong makes Victoria mayoral bid official

volunteer notebook

Volunteer Today

Kevin Laird News staff

Former B.C. cabinet minister Ida Chong made it official last Thursday after weeks of speculation on whether she would run for Victoria’s top municipal spot.

“There’s only one capital in British Columbia and it’s Victoria. I’m proud of our city and can see its amazing potential everyday,” said Chong to a full house of supporters at the Steamship Grill and Bar Restaurant.

Chong, a Saanich resident, promised to freeze property tax rates for four years, a promise that drew criticism from other mayoral candidates including incumbent Mayor Dean Fortin and current councillor Lisa Helps.

Chong also promised to invest in critical infrastructure, improve the management of the Johnson Street Bridge project, and solve the Capital Region’s sewage standoff.

Chong has been in politics since 1993 when she was elected as a municipal councillor for the District of Saanich.

In 1996, Chong made the jump to provincial politics where she held several cabinet posts before she was defeated by B.C. Green MLA Andrew Weaver in Oak Bay-Gordon Head last year.

Following her election defeat, she left the question of what she would do next unanswered – until now.

There has been a lot of speculation in recent weeks that Chong was being lobbied by the business community, but she said that she was askd by many different groups to consider running.

“I believe Victoria is the heart of this region and there needs to be leadership – people who spend every moment of their day thinking about how to make Victoria succeed,” Chong said.

“Victoria is at a crossroads. We can turn away and let the status quo carry on or we can demand action. Status quo means there is no plan, no plan to carry on economically. ...

There is absolutely no fiscal discipline or leadership.”

Rob Duncan, running under the name Changes the Clown, is also running in Victoria’s mayoral race.

BoosterBuddy app provides on-demand coping mechanisms for struggling teens Daniel Palmer News staff

Take a moment to browse the /r/ depression forum on Reddit and the reality becomes immediately clear: today’s youth flock to online mediums to deal with mental illness.

But a new app, thought to be the first of its kind in Canada, is aiming to reach teens in that digital realm when they need it most.

BoosterBuddy uses video game design elements to establish positive habits to mental health, said Drew Barnes, program co-ordinator with Island Health’s mental health and substance use services.

“In our hospital, the goal is to work with youth like a coach, to reconnect them with their school, family, friends, so they can move beyond our care,” Barnes said at the app launch event

last week. “When we first proposed this app, we didn’t know if anyone would relate to the idea or where it would go.”

To the surprise of Barnes and clinical lead Lauren Fox, teens in the focus study were enthusiastic about the idea of an app to assist them in their recovery.

They wanted a companion, Barnes said, and they wanted it to provide symptom tracking over time, crisis contacts and medication notifications.

“They wanted the app to encourage them to feel good,” he said.

When Calgary-based developers Robots & Pencils began developing BoosterBuddy, they also learned teens wanted an easily accessible list of coping mechanisms, such as tips for controlled breathing exercises to help with anxiety.

The app was created in partnership with Island Health, Victoria Hospitals Foundation and a $150,000 donation from Coast Capital Savings.

Coast Capital’s vice president of people, Lewisa Anciano, said the business sector has a responsibility to act on major health challenges

responded to a call around 1 a.m. of flames and heavy smoke, said Saanich police Sgt. Steve Eassie.

An elderly resident from the upstairs portion of the home was exiting from the residence as police arrived on scene and was transported to hospital as a result of smoke inhalation, Eassie said.

No other injuries were reported, and the fire is being treated as suspicious, he added.

The home is the same address where Saanich police and the

in the community.

“Approximately 1.2 million youth in Canada live with mental illness, but only 20 per cent will get the help they need,” Anciano said.

The company donates seven per cent of its pre-tax profits back into the community, which will equal $5.7 million in 2014 alone, she said.

Dr. Abraham Rudnick, medical director with Island Health’s mental health and substance use services, said mental health disorders have become the second highest reason for youth admission at Canadian hospitals.

One in five young people now report experiencing mental health challenges.

Creating a tool that gives these teens hope, through an app they can carry in their pocket, holds potential for better mental health outcomes in the future, he said.

“This is leading-edge work,” Rudnick said. “As this app is shared across Canada, it will help to improve the lives of thousands of young people.”

Greater Victoria Emergency Response Team executed a search warrant and made five drug-related arrests in July.

Eassie said Monday there were no definitive links between the two investigations.

Anyone with relevant information about the fire is asked to call the Saanich police non-emergency line at 250-475-4321 or report anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. editor@saanichnews.com

Friends of Music Society Smart meters not a human celebrates 25th birthday rights violation: B.C. tribunal Group hosts annual fundraiser on Oct. 11 at Trafalgar/Pro Patricia Legion for ongoing music therapy for mentally ill Daniel Palmer News staff

The healing power of music isn’t to be underestimated, according to volunteers with the Friends of Music Society.

Since 1989, the society has been linking people with mental illness to their inner musical talent through a series of free, accessible programs.

“What kind of makes us different is that we have musicians from the community playing and rehearsing with musicians with mental illness, so when our ensembles perform, everyone is a musician first,” said Glenda Turner, executive director of the Friends of Music Society.

Themed music programs like Country and Western, Blues, Swing as well as a sing-a-long session are open to anyone.

The group also offers free guitar and ukulele lessons and relies on support from Island Health

and the province.

“We also have a program called the Eclectics, where you can show up to sing or bring an instrument along. Depending on what people bring, the instructor decides what sort of music will be on offer,” Turner said.

“We challenge the stigma about mental illness and counter many of the misconceptions through the language of music.”

-Glenda Turner, executive director

“We challenge the stigma about mental illness and counter many of the misconceptions through the language of music.”

Last week, the society celebrated its 25th anniversary with a party at Begbie Hall at

Royal Jubilee Hospital. Based out of the Eric Martin Pavillion, Friends of Music receives finds new participants through psychiatrist referrals as well as through group homes throughout the Capital Region.

The society hosts about 60 concerts around the community each year, and has a regular schedule of events like Movie Wednesday for group home residents.

Friends of Music Society hosts its annual fundraiser on Oct. 11 at the Trafalgar/Pro Patricia Legion, 411 Gorge Rd. East. In addition to musical performances, a silent auction and dinner will help raise funds for future music projects, Turner said.

Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the society office at 2328 Trent St. Call 250-5925114 or go online to friendsofmusic.ca for more information. editor@saanichnews.com

After losing in court and and before the B.C. Utilities Commission, a citizens’ group opposed to wireless electrical meters has been denied a hearing before the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal.

The complaint was brought by a group called Citizens for Safe Technology Society (CSTS), which argued that “electrohypersensitivity” (EHS) is a disability.

“I have concluded that there is no reasonable prospect that the complainants will be able to establish that the electromagnetic frequency (EMF) exposure resulting from smart meters results in adverse health consequences,” wrote tribunal member Norman Trerise in the decision not

to hold a full hearing.

CSTS submitted that they don’t have to prove this sensitivity exists, because the human rights tribunal has accepted “subjective self-reporting of symptoms” in a previous human rights case involving a Lower Mainland bus driver.

BC Hydro said a series of doctors’ notes supplied by the complainants don’t prove the condition is real, because they appear to be based “entirely on the selfdiagnosis of the individual complainants.”

BC Hydro has argued that the exposure from periodic wireless meter signals to send electricity consumption data to collection stations is similar to exposure to radio station signals.

BC Ferries will shift to liquefied natural gas Tom Fletcher Black Press

BC Ferries is converting its pair of Spirit-class vessels to a dual-fuel system that uses liquefied natural gas, estimated to be half the price of marine diesel.

The Spirit of Vancouver Island and Spirit of British Columbia are the workhorses of the TsawwassenSwartz Bay run, carrying a quarter of the fleet’s passengers and vehicles and accounting for about 15 per cent of the fuel used.

The conversion will be part of their mid-life refit, aiming to save $9 million a year in fuel costs for their remaining 27 years of service. It is scheduled to be completed by the spring of 2017.

THE CORPORATION OF THE DISTRICT OF SAANICH

NOTICE OF TAX SALE Pursuant to Section 403 of the Local Government Act, the following properties will be offered for sale by public auction to be held at the Council Chambers, Saanich Municipal Hall, 770 Vernon Ave, Victoria BC on Monday September 29, 2014 at 10:00a.m. unless the delinquent taxes plus interest are sooner paid.

BC Ferries president Mike Corrigan had previously rejected the idea of LNG conversion, saying it was too costly. BC Ferries awarded contracts this summer for construction of three medium-sized ferries designed for dual fuel.

The refits will also include a low-friction hull coating and modifications to the bow and stern to reduce drag.

Other goals include electrical and passenger service modifications and increasing “ancillary services net income,” BC Ferries said in a statement.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone announced in February a pilot project to put slot machines on ferries.

OUR VIEW

Ferry report makes for awkward talks The annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention marks its halfway point today in Whistler, where mayors and councillors from around the province have gathered to gauge their common appetite for ensuing battles with higher levels of government.

This year’s convention will be particularly tense when Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Todd Stone arrives for one-on-one meetings with various municipal leaders.

Perhaps most contentious is a report commissioned by the UBCM (and its regional counterpart, the Association of Vancouver Island Coastal Communities) and released last week that concludes B.C. missed out on about $2 billion in economic activity over the past decade because of rising BC Ferries fares.

The resulting headlines were certainly one way to begin what’s meant to be open dialogue between provincial ministers and municipal delegates. Local leaders may have felt the report would offer some leverage in the fight for infrastructure and subsidy funding.

Stone soon issued a firm rebuke of Boatswains to Bollards – A Socioeconomic Impact Analysis of BC Ferries, and called its timed release “irresponsible,” “unsubstantiated” and “sensational.” (Not the way one hopes to set up afternoon tea. A drink at the bar may be a better recommendation.)

Stone then lays out a number of indicators – the recession, U.S. passport requirements, corresponding drops in air travel between Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland – that show ferry rates are hardly the only reason why people are choosing to stay home and count their pennies more often.

But the ferry analysis and Stone’s quick response also reveal a more worrying trend between intergovernmental partners: a surplus scarcity often means politicians point the finger at the next door instead of seeking real solutions to immediate problems. Hiked ferry rates and our weakened economic health will remain with us for the foreseeable future. What’s needed is constructive dialogue, meaningful proposals and motivational answers that connect with citizens.

The rest is just posturing.

B.C. VIEWS

Report card time for politicians This November, voters will be hiring local politicians for a fouryear term, rather than three.

It’s a good time to ask some tough questions about the performance of councils on the job they are assigned to do, as opposed to posturing about senior government matters.

Remember when it was fashionable for Tom Fletcher city councils to declare their B.C. Views communities “a nuclear weapons-free zone”? You can still see the signs entering Vancouver and Nanaimo. Alert voters may wonder: “Did they really think we’re that stupid?” Yes, they did. And some of them still do.

To illustrate, allow me to introduce my poster child for bad local government, Victoria city councillor Ben Isitt.

A long-time NDP activist, Isitt got elected three years ago after raising his name recognition with a couple of runs for mayor. His rookie term has been notable for a series of stunts that extend his career as a professional student, campus radical and occasional history lecturer.

One of Isitt’s big studies is the influence of Soviet communism on the B.C. NDP. He was on one of his visits to Russia earlier this year

when President Vladimir Putin was having his way with Crimea.

Isitt’s fondness for state control was on display last fall when aboriginal protesters disrupted natural gas drilling in New Brunswick, torching several police vehicles in the process.

Isitt took to his Facebook page to decry the federal government’s use of police against the population, and suggested Canada should emulate Venezuela, where petroleum resources benefit the people rather than corporations.

Venezuela sells gasoline for nine cents a gallon, the late Hugo Chavez’s gift to his people after nationalizing the oil industry.

The capital, Caracas, is famous for extreme poverty, brutally suppressed riots, and a crime rate so bad it ranks among the world’s most dangerous cities.

How does Isitt’s political outlook translate to his role in local government?

This week local politicians gather in Whistler for the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention.

One of Isitt’s first contributions a couple of years ago was at a UBCM workshop on how to finance local infrastructure.

Isitt proposed setting up a municipal income tax. Presumably this would be on top of property taxes.

In its wisdom, Victoria council appointed Isitt as their Capital Regional District representative.

In that capacity he led the charge against Canada Post’s decision

to wind up door-to-door delivery for the minority of people who aren’t already using community mailboxes.

After instructing Ottawa to accelerate the bankruptcy of this Crown corporation, Isitt began ordering the province to intervene in a dispute over Grace Islet, a rocky point off Salt Spring Island where an Alberta man is trying to build a retirement home. The dispute centres on aboriginal burial grounds and artifacts, and Isitt appointed himself advocate for the grievances of native people.

When the B.C. government didn’t follow his instructions, he demanded that the CRD expropriate the land and evict the owner. Island politics being what it is, this was actually considered before cooler heads prevailed.

And how are things with the CRD’s real job while the Isitt circus rolls on? The most over-governed region in B.C. remains locked in a bitter turf war over a federally mandated sewage treatment project, and is on the verge of forfeiting hundreds of millions in provincial funds.

So voters should ask themselves a couple of questions this November. Is your council doing the job it was hired to do? And do you trust these individuals with your wallet until the fall of 2018?

Transit should serve needs of all, including pet owners Re: Barking back at transit (News, Sept. 10) What is the purpose of a city transport system? Presumably to serve the people, to lessen traffic congestion and to save excess carbon emission.

Since arriving in Canada, I have been impressed by the regularity of the buses and the unfailing courtesy of drivers.

Yet I am personally saddened by the fact that when I really need to board one – especially

when carrying heavy shopping bags – I have to allow the bus to pass me by.

I have no alternate means of transport, but I do have a small dog which needs exercise.

At nearly 80 years of age, I can muster strength to walk one way, but need to take a bus back.

I find my life greatly curtailed by not being able to use the public service provided as I see fit.

I find the thinking very selective with respect to people’s allergies and possible dog hair sticking to mens’ suits.

Humans shed hair as well and many people sneeze in public places, and thus contaminate the air. Are we to ban people from buses, too?

Perhaps we have grown too precious and too regardless of the less wealthy in our midst.

Get A-word question on ballot for region’s good Re: Amalgamation ‘not a Saanich debate:’ Leonard (News, Sept. 12) I think the question to be asked is Frank Leonard afraid of losing his power and job?

A real mayor listens to the people that pay their taxes and pay the employees of Saanich their wages. Hence the taxpayer.

Yes, the Mayor is elected, but he is also an employee of the district. When people have a position for as long as Frank Leonard, they seem to forget the taxpayers are the ones that pay their wages and pensions.

When you stop listening to the elected public, it’s time to move on.

When the Capital Region’s largest municipality denies the people a say on amalgamation, there is something wrong at municipal hall.

How can you believe that 350,000 people in 13 municipalities need 13 mayors, staff, city halls, city work yards and thousands of employees, overlapping of services, jobs and bylaws.

There are six police forces, when really only one force should do the work for 13 municipalities and 350,000 people.

The real question, I’m sure, is which city will become the token name and head of government. Victoria? Saanich?

And do we really need the Capital Regional District, another level of Government?

As one big city, we could make the same decisions that 13 now do. Does it really matter at this point in time, when really, equal representation of all 13 municipalities could easily be achieved?

Of course, changing would have its hick-ups, but over time it would work out for the better and for the people.

Perhaps we could even all work as one and be able to build a really nice concert hall, and a really nice convention centre and have an NHL hockey team.

We would have the clout to bring in the big names for concerts, conventions and sporting events.

Everyone should be given the opportunity to have a say on amalgamation and the time to truly take a look at the pros and cons of amalgamation.

Everyone needs to lobby Saanich mayor and council to agree to put the non-binding amalgamation question on the Nov. 15 ballot.

School’s back: turnout numbers by end of week New teachers’ deal stretches to 2019; parents to receive $40 daily stipend

HMCS St. John’s in formation with HMCS Protecteur and HMCS Algonquin. The Canadian Forces announced last week the Protecteur and Algonquin will be mothballed from service.

Protecteur, aging warships retire Two navy warships based at CFB Esquimalt – HMCS Algonquin and HMCS Protecteur – have made their last voyages and will be decommissioned, Vice-Admiral Mark Norman said Friday.

Two other ships based on the East Coast, HMCS Iroquois and HMCS Preserver, will also be mothballed. In addition to wear and tear from four decades at sea, Algonquin and Protecteur were involved in serious accidents recently. Given they were slated for retire-

ment shortly there was no point in repairing them.

Algonquin was in a collision in 2013 and Protecteur suffered a major engine room fire last February and had to be towed home from Hawaii. The navy is essentially left with a single destroyer, HMCS Athabascan, 12 Halifax-class frigates and some smaller coastal defence vessels. About 1,400 sailors will be reassigned as necessary. editor@saanichnews.com

Gordon Head farm debate in limbo Continued from Page A1

Living with cows as neighbours made for a particularly unpleasant winter last year, Lea said. Now locals are lobbying the District to avoid a repeat of that bovine bedlam.

“We’ve had sick children from the fecal dust wafting over,” Lea claimed. “Kids can’t even play in their back yards.”

Neither Saanich staff, council nor the Albergs are able to find middle ground through the bureaucratic predicament that has clouded 1516 Mount Douglas Cross Rd. in a supposed ring of dung dust.

Don Alberg cites a lack of trust since their original 16-lot plan was turned down by Saanich council in 2011, followed by a 12-lot plan voted down in 2012.

Saanich says the farm needs its Agricultural Land Reserve title removed by the provincial Agricultural Land Commission before the District approves rezoning.

The Albergs, and supportive neighbours like Lea, believe Saanich should pass the necessary rezoning bylaw prior to the farm’s

removal from the ALR, or do both simultaneously.

Yet with the cattle investment growing into a sustainable business, Alberg wants to keep cattle there until council accepts his current 16-lot development application brought forward last March.

“It’s not illegal to rezone while it’s in the ALR, but there’s been a line drawn in the sand,” said Alberg, who inherited the property where he was born and grew up, and now shares with siblings Gordon Alberg and Florence Davis. “We’re small potatoes fighting a big corporation here. When we brought the cows in, it was called a bully tactic, but I question who’s been bullied.”

Mayor Frank Leonard remains clear Saanich won’t approve residential rezoning until the ALR title is removed from the property.

“It’s never been in front of the ALC, but they’ve said they’ll approve it. We’ll take a neutral position and let the ALC decide,” Leonard said.

But Lea and Alberg want Saanich to revisit its “unwritten practise” for this unique situation and settle the matter.

Sharon Tiffin/File photo

Ted Lea stands in one of his neighbour’s yards that backs onto the Alberg cow feed farm in 2013.

If the rezoning and ALR title removal could be passed simultaneously, the cattle could be relocated to another farm in Qualicum Beach, Alberg said.

One of the ongoing legal debates between the parties includes the definition of a legal non-conforming ruling

by Saanich, which would allow the farmers to retain the cattle lot if ALR removal and residential rezoning isn’t approved.

“We’re willing to work with (Saanich) if they want to realistically address the legal non-conforming definition,” Alberg said.

Lea said the near-universal

neighbourhood support for residential development of the farm should be enough to convince council to find a solution to the impasse.

For now, they’ll be preparing for another winter of urban cattle in their backyards. reporter@saanichnews.com

Ask the Expert Seniors’ Edition Q:

We are thinking about moving into a Retirement Community. What type of activities could we expect to find there? Are we required to pay extra for these activities?

A:

Retirement communities offer a wide range of activities, usually planned and facilitated by both staff and presenters from within the community. In general, activities held within the residences are offered free of charge and cover a wide range of interests. There may be Entertainment which could range from movies, singers, musicians, dancers, choirs and games such as bingo and crossword. Activities related to Intellectual or Spiritual growth might include travelogues, chapel services, bible studies, educational speakers or series on topics of interest or courses e.g. UVic or Camosun College continuing education courses for adults. Personal growth activities could include fitness classes such as yoga, tai chi, osteofit and balance classes. There may be art and craft lessons, stimulating card games such as bridge or cribbage, mind games and many others to match every level of interest.

Many retirement communities have the use of a bus to transport their residents to outings. These outing can include local attractions such as Butchart Gardens, Shaw Discovery Centre, IMAX theatre and Butterfly Gardens. The outings may be further afield to places like Chemainus Theatre, boat trips or ferry rides around the Gulf Islands. They may have lunches or dinners out at local restaurants or attend local concerts and musical events such as the Victoria Symphony or Palm Court concerts. In general, these types of outings will provide the transportation and the residents would pay for the admission or ticket (usually purchased at a group rate). There are also many outings available to local parks for picnics and strolls during the milder weather or to shopping centers year round.

Cottage Grove is a supportive housing concept for seniors who have been homeless. It will stand at 3207 Quadra St., next to Decora Tiles, off Tolmie Street.

Greater Victoria Seniors

Care for caregivers

Volunteers in the spotlight Joan and Stu MacDonald are part of a volunteer group that meets weekly to perform gardening and other maintenance on the grounds of the 11-acre Dominion Brook Park, across from Panorama Rec. Centre.

The park is a short drive from their home in Central Saanich.

“Dominion Brook Park lost funding a while back and a few of us came together to help out, it’s such a beautiful place,” Joan said.

Joan is originally from Oshawa, Ont., and Stu from Drumheller, Alta.

Their paths first crossed in London, Ont., when they met on a blind date 64 years ago. They eventually settled near Mount Doug for 32 years, before they downsized to their current dwelling in Central Saanich 10 years ago.

Before retiring, Joan was a registered nurse in the recovery

Words of wisdom “Nothing to say except we feel very fortunate. We’re in our 80s and doing lots of things, we appreciate our family and friends, there’s nothing more than that.” reporter@saanichnews.com

A growing number of Canada’s ageing baby boomers are providing care for a spouse or parent with dementia. But these family caregivers often lack the support they need to avoid becoming patients themselves.

“These caregivers are the backbone of our current health system,” says Dr. Janice Keefe at Mount Saint Vincent University in Halifax. “Yet we don’t treat them this way. One of the big challenges we face is that caregivers aren’t viewed as a client or eligible for services in and of themselves.”

Keefe is working to change this situation.

For the past 20 years Keefe and her team have been part of an international movement to assess the health needs and challenges of family caregivers – mainly daughters and spouses – who are caring for elderly loved ones with disabilities and chronic illnesses, such as dementia.

At the heart of Dr. Keefe’s research is her co-creation of the Caregivers’

Museum, Mansion, Memories

Aspirations, Realities and Expectations (C.A.R.E.) Tool. It’s a pioneering assessment tool for developing an understanding of the support services that family caregivers need.

Caregivers can sit-down for an hour or more, either in a single session or several, and talk about their situation. But it’s more than just a chance to talk. The C.A.R.E. Tool also offers a way for health care providers – including social workers, nurses and other health care professionals – and caregivers to have a very focused and detailed conversation about the caregivers’ challenges, concerns and hopes. It also helps link these needs to potential caregiver support services, such as respite support.

Eight million Canadians (28 per cent) aged 15 and over were providing care to family members or friends with a long-term health condition, disability, and seven per cent of family caregivers reported they were caring for someone with Alzheimer’s or dementia.

Shaughnessy joined the Victoria Women’s Newcomer’s book club and loves everything about the city after moving here from Toronto, where she specialized in office leasing and presentations. Her husband Brian continues to work as a retail and wholesale executive. They live near the Selkirk Trestle.

Pro bono lawyers fill need in community Kevin Laird News staff

Kevin Laird/News staff

Victoria lawyer John Coupar meets with a client during Pro Bono Going Public 2014 in Centennial Square on Sept. 12. Sixteen lawyers offered free legal NFW_Ad_2014_BW.pdf 1 9/8/2014 4:37:10 PM advice during the event.

Sixteen Victoria lawyers set up shop in the middle of Centennial Square on Sept. 12 as part of an outdoor legal clinic for low-income residents.

The Pro Bono Going Public 2014 is designed primarily to provide free legal services to people who need them, but also to generate awareness about pro bono programs.

“We use this to raise awareness around the access-tojustice issue and the fact that the government is seemingly unwilling to fund legal aid to the extent that it should,” said Jamie Maclaren, executive director of the Access Pro Bono Society of B.C.

He said programs centering around legal aid have been significantly reduced since 2002.

Last year, the Legal Services Society, which provides legal aid in B.C., had an operating budget of $80 million, $74.5 million in funding came from the provincial government.

Maclaren said as a result of inadequate funding, the pro bono society has been asked to fill in gaps. More than 800 lawyers in B.C. provide free services through the pro bono society.

“It’s not something (work for free) we necessarily want to do, but we do it in any case because it’s the right thing to do,” Maclaren said.

“Each day, such lawyers

dispel the common myth of the greedy immoral lawyer by donating several hours of their time to increase access to justice for the poor and marginalized.”

The Friday event in Victoria saw about 40 people take part in the free legal service.

Many who sought legal advice centered around family law, immigration and civil matters.

“It’s not a full service we have here today, but people can follow up for subsequent advice and sometimes we do offer follow up representation for free,” Maclaren said.

Spectrum hitter on world stage

Photo by Phillip MacCallum/Volleyball Canada

Shanice Marcelle during the 2014 World Championship Qualifier at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.

Spectrum Community school graduate Shanice Marcelle, outside hitter, is on Canada’s roster for the 17th FIVB Volleyball Women’s World Championship.

The 24-team tournament runs Sept. 23 to Oct.12 in the Italian cities of Bari, Milan, Modena, Rome, Trieste and Verona.

Canada’s pool will be a challenge as it includes world-ranked number one Brazil, Serbia (8), Turkey (11), Bulgaria (35) and Cameroon (27).

Marcelle joined the national team full time following her 2013 graduation from the UBC Thunderbirds as the CIS Female Athlete of the Year.

Visit the tournament website at italy2014.fivb.org.

In men’s play, Canada earned its bestever finish at the 2014 FIVB Men’s World Championship in Poland last week, including former Claremont secondary star Fred Winters.

“Team Canada has become very well respected by the top teams, and this will mean that these teams will prepare better when they play against us,” head coach Glen Hoag said.

Canada had a good run at the World Championship, with six victories in a row, but dropped its final two matches to Brazil and Germany.

“I was very disappointed with our performance against Germany, so it is hard to reflect on our accomplishments,” he added. Canada hosts the Pan American Games in 2015, and the road to Rio 2016 is also in the spotlight.

especially the first 35 minutes of the game,” said Vikes head coach Mark Hall. “We need to improve our ball contact, Calgary dominated us in that respect.”

The Vikes face the Alberta Pandas on Friday (Sept. 26), 5 p.m. at Wallace Field.

Bears upend Rock in final CRC match Photo by Judy Teasdale

Nicole Crowley, captain of Vikes women’s rugby team, represented the B.C. Bears in 2014.

T

he Canada West university season started with a loss for the UVic Vikes women’s rugby team.

Angela Thompson earned the only try for the Vikes on Saturday, as the club fell 26-8 to the visiiting Calgary Dinos at Wallace Field on Saturday.

Victoria’s Jessica Neilson kicked off the scoring with a penalty kick, putting the Vikes ahead 3-0. But the Dinos rallied back, earning seven points off a well-fought try from Karly Guebert.

Neilson was stopped steps from the goal line, as the first half ended with a respectable 7-3 lead for the Dinos.

In the last minute of play, Victoria proved their grit, as Thompson powered through the goal line for an unconverted try.

“It was an encouraging start,

The BC Bears ended an otherwise forgettable Canadian Rugby Championship season with a modicum of redemption on Saturday with a 26-20 victory over the Atlantic Rock in St. John’s, Nfld.

The provincial men’s Bears side led wire-to-wire in a day of blustery conditions, as both teams struggled to control the ball.

Bears centre Nathan Yanagiya (UVic Vikes) snuck across the line for the game’s opening try.

Vikes fly half Pat Kay also dotted down for a try and added the conversion.

The Bears (2-4) finished the CRC season in third place with 10 points.

In Vancouver Island, premier men’s Barnard Cup play, James Bay beat Velox 38-14 at Velox and the Vikes ran over the Castaway Wanderers 62-17 at Wallace Field. The Vikes and Velox enjoy a bye this week as James Bay visits CW at Windsor Park, 2:45 p.m. kickoff on Saturday (Sept. 27).

The Velox Valhallians are 2-0 in Vancouver Island women’s play, and face Cowichan at 11:30 a.m.

Saturday, Sept. 27 at Velox.

Racer survives crash, heads to California Fity-nine year old Bill Okell experienced his worst crash in 40 years of racing in Mission last week. He damaged his prized 1964 MGB. He also badly bruised his hand, rib and leg, but was able to avoid the hospital.

“The good thing is I’ve got all winter to fix the MGB,” he said.

Okell doesn’t need it for the national F Production sports car championship coming up in Laguna Seca, Calif. on Oct. 10.

There he’ll race an MG midget in an 18 lap (40 minute) championship race. Okell qualified fifth throughout a summer series to earn the invitation.

It was by far the best season of results for the Accent Inns/Russ Hay’s Cycling Team with the national sprint challenge champion and the B.C. criterium champion.

“It just goes to show you there we’re filling a gap that is needed,” said team director Jon Watkin of Saanich, a former elite cyclist.

“There have been small teams before but we have unprecedented community sport for a team. It’s a delicate balance getting the right sponsors. You can’t see cycling as a billboard on wheels, we have the right support for our athletes.”

While Cody Canning wasn’t at the team’s wrap up party on Saturday – he was awarded the breakout rider of the year on speakerphone from Saskatchewan – Dylan Davies was.

Travis Paterson/News staff

Dylan Davies of Vancouver went from bike messenger to B.C. champ with the Accent Inns/ Russ Hays Cycling Team from Saanich-Victoria. AI/RH celebrated its best season ever with a year end wrap party on Saturday at the Russ Hay’s Bicycle Shop in Victoria.

Bastion Square Grand Prix in June, making him the B.C. Criterium champ in just his third season of competitive cycling. Davies is the elder to Canning, 24, but concedes to Can-

ning, saying the Saanich youngster has more racing experience.

“Four years ago I was doing alley cat races with other bike messengers in Vancouver. I won some, I liked it, and

I made my way down to the velodrome in Burnaby,” said Davies, who carries a list of goals despite his late start.

“I’m a bit older to be getting into the sport but I still just want to

Did you know?

The Accent Inns/Russ Hays Cycling Team earned prominent recognition in 2013 when Victoria’s Curtis Dearden won the individual time trial gold medal at the national cycling championships. Dearden suffered an offseason traffic accident that left him unconscious along Gorge Road. He managed to rehabilitate and finish ninth in the 2014 ITT of the national championships.

see where I can progress, you can do that with this team. I got into the road race at the national championships and it was an eyeopener for what it takes to get to the next level.”

The AI/RH 2014 season highlight was Canning winning the challenge sprint event at Cycling Canada Road Championships in Lac Megantic, Que. on June 28. Canning has since competed in the Tour of Alberta (for Team Canada) and on Sept.

12 he won his second sprint challenge race of the season, beating out top North American and European pros at the Grand Prix Cycliste in Quebec.

The challenge sprint event is a competition over a one-kilometre course, organized into heats of four racers each. The top two finishers in each knockout heat move on to the next round until the winner is determined in the final showdown.

“It’s only our third year doing it and it takes a lot of work, but we want to see how far we can go. We want to see our cyclists on move on and turn pro,” Watkin said. “Victoria is already recognized as a cycling and athletic hotspot and now we’re proof of that.”

The team plans to expand its 2015 racing program by registering as a trade team, eligible for Tour de Beauce and some major U.S.A. events. reporter@saanichnews.com

SAANICH NEWS - Wednesday, September 24, 2014

ARTS EVENTS IN BRIEF

Culture Days hits region This weekend, an estimated 5.5 million people will celebrate arts and culture in communities across Canada during the fifth annual Culture Days event.

“Culture Days is a celebration of culture and heritage that takes place all across Canada in every province,” said Nazanin Shoja, Culture Days coordinator in B.C. There will be around 12 free events happening in Greater Victoria for Culture Days.

All activities are free and open to all ages.

“Our goal is to increase awareness, accessibility and participation and engagement of all Canadians in the arts and cultural life of their community,” said Shoja. “[It] places a spotlight on the idea that a contribution to a vibrant arts and cultural life brings to the economic and social well-being and development of communities.”

www.saanichnews.com • A23

In Victoria, there will be five performances by local musicians at four Greater Victoria Public Library branches. Artists include those already in the library’s local music collection, said Cheryl Landry, Greater Victoria Public Library music librarian.

“I think it’s nice to pull in people from the community so that as patrons come to the library, maybe they can hear somebody that they didn’t know about, but they can go to a venue in town and hear them,” said Landry.

Landry added that the libraries in Victoria have participated in Culture Days every year, because “for libraries Culture Days is sort of a natural fit.”

We are a cultural organization, and we do promote culture and creativity and lifelong learning,” she said. “I think that if the library can encourage exposure to culture and creativity, it’s one way to expand people’s minds.”

Other free events this weekend include a First Nations artist forum with First Nations curators on Friday and Victoria Symphony open

house on Saturday.

Going home from the hospital would be great if I had a home to go to.
