Final chance to beat rush to the polls

View Royal, community say so long

Advance voting is available again today Angela Cowan News Gazette staff

Town’s retiring mayor Graham Hill flourished once he found his voice

“For me, what we see when you look at his support; yes, he has his support on the political side, and dealing with the chief, but he also supports the guys on the ground level. He still comes by for a coffee and a chat. He kind of touched the organization on all levels.” Speaking to firefighters is one thing, but speaking to regional public bodies and residents with deep concern over their way of life is quite another.

Today (Nov. 12) is the second and last opportunity for voters to beat the crowds and cast their ballots early in the 2014 municipal elections. Advance voting stations are at the municipal halls for Langford, Colwood, Metchosin and View Royal. Highlands has its advance station at the community hall. The stations are open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. The first advance voting day last Wednesday (Nov. 5) saw less than a thousand people cast their ballots throughout the West Shore. Langford, Metchosin and View Royal all had similar turnout, with 134, 114 and approximately 150 voters, respectively. Colwood had the highest response just by sheer numbers with roughly 200 residents heading to the first polls, and Highlands turned out 70 early birds. Getting out to the advance polls can be a good way to beat the crowd and can offer a less stressful experience for those who may have mobility issues and need a bit more time.

Not long after he became mayor of View Royal in 2002, Graham Hill had occasion to attend a volunteer firefighters association banquet. Upon being introduced, the fledgling politician was booed, a reaction to the municipality’s moves to change the way the fire department operated. Hill was shocked at the reaction, but recognized he had a steep learning curve to understand the culture of the town and its various enclaves. “We had made a statement of what View Royal was going to be by investing in equipment and training,” the soon-to-be “retired” mayor recalled during a sit-down interview inside a busy Four Mile restaurant. Plans to move what was then perceived as a club-like volunteer department toward one with a more professional feel was not well received at the time. How times change.

View Royal Mayor Graham Hill offers up a hearty salute, wearing the personalized fire helmet bestowed upon him by members of the View Royal Fire Department earlier this fall, when Hill was made an honourary life member of the department. attended the annual banquet of the same organization earlier this fall, the mayor was made an honourary lifetime member of the department and given his own firefighter’s helmet. The department’s current fire inspector, Lt. Robert Marshall, wasn’t at the original gathering, but has been around the department almost as long as Hill has been mayor. Marshall said the mayor has been “an outstanding supporter of this organization,” not least of which was through the public information sessions and subsequent referendum for the new public safety building.

*Moralea Milne, 64, retired, on council since 2008 “Metchosin means so much to me, a home with flowers and birds and bees. Where the gnarled oaks grow, and the roosters crow, and you smell the scent of the sea. To be rural we stand united, low taxes are highlighted, we keep densities low, our reserves have dough, and our debt is annihilated. I’ll stand firm for another term, if only you will have me.”

Chris Moehr, 67, management consultant/ business analyst, former councillor 19992002 “As a former councillor and deputy mayor, my approach to office recognizes the importance of local land use decisions and all that flows from it.

Karen Watson, 65, employee of Coleman Flowers, councillor 1993-1999 and mayor 1999-2005 “If elected, I will commit to working hard to maintain the rural lifestyle expected by our residents.

I will be a fair and open-minded member of council.”

Ann Baird, 47, biologist/financial manager, no previous experience “My biology and financial background combined with nine years creating the celebrated solar-powered Eco-Sense homestead gives me an integrated perspective for decisionmaking. I will bring my years of volunteer service co-creating our Integrated Community Sustainability Plan to the council table to address your concerns related to water, affordable housing, bylaw enforcement and local food.”

Gord Baird, 45, sustainable systems consultant, no previous experience “To apply my very strong business background and understanding of the Highlands ICSP 5 capitals decision-making platform to address topics on innovative groundwater protection strategies, secondary housing and continuing the great financial stewardship the Highlands is known for.

I will work to keep taxes low while promoting a thriving community.”

*Marcie McLean, 59, retired provincial government employee, on council since 2008 “My commitment to the residents, land owners and business owners within the District is continued hard work on their behalf, working toward consensus building and in the best interests of the community, continued budget reviews in detail and to work to maintain expenditures to only those truly needed.

Three similar cases of fraud reported last week have West Shore RCMP reminding residents to be careful when giving personal information. The victims were contacted either by phone or email from persons claiming to be with Canada Revenue Agency’s Service Canada and asking for specific information such as social insurance numbers, banking information and more.

as Mayor

“(The fraudsters) are asking for specific information that people from government agencies would not ask for,” said West Shore RCMP Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz. “Things that help criminals conduct identity theft.” If residents are contacted with requests for information, Rochlitz suggested they “find the number and phone the actual agency back and confirm that they are in fact actually asking for that information.” In two of the three cases, people did relay their personal details. “It’s a timely reminder to not give out any personal information,” Rochlitz said. Anyone who believes they have or may have been contacted by the ‘phishing’ scheme can call the detachment at 250474-2264, or the Canadian Antifraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501.

Poppy box stolen from Pharmasave A poppy donation box was stolen from the Langford Pharmasave on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. West Shore RCMP are looking for a female suspect aged between 25 and 35, approximately five feet five inches with blond hair. “(Staff) noted someone moving the poppy box and then the next thing it was gone,” said Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz. “This is a time for us to pay our respects and this completely disregards those that have served our country.” Anyone with information or who may have witnessed the incident can call the detachment at 250-474-2264, or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). acowan@goldstreamgazette.com

Four Seasons Musical Theatre’s production of The Secret Garden comes to the Isabelle Reader Theatre starting this Friday.

Four Seasons no secret to theatre audiences Musical theatre company’s latest offering appeals to everyone, director says Arnold Lim News Gazette staff

Terry Rowsell is hoping The Secret Garden won’t be a secret to theatre lovers. The story comes to life, courtesy Four Seasons Musical Theatre, starting this Friday (Nov. 14) at the Isabelle Reader Theatre in Langford with opening night of its five-show run there. Rowsell, the stage director for Secret Garden, says the production is one of the company’s best. “I think (audiences) will see a better show than they’ve seen at Four Seasons in past years,” he says. “They will see something fun and visually appealing, but a deeper and meaningful story

that is not typical at musical theatre shows.” The Tony Award-winning literary classic tells the story of young Mary Lennox, orphaned in India during a cholera outbreak and forced to live with an uncle she doesn’t know. Mary discovers a secret garden there and slowly, her life and that of her uncle turn around as the story unfolds. Rowsell says much of the play is anchored on the performances of the two young leads, 10-year-old Tori Farkas and Zoe Garson. “(They) are (among) the most talented people I have done theatre with of any age and I have done theatre for 30 years. This is challenging and difficult, and traditionally older kids play (younger roles),” he said. “But I can give (them) notes and I don’t need to simplify my language when exploring the character. (They) are as good as the seasoned adults in the show.” The production involves

approximately 70 cast and crew, from actors and costume designers to producers and background performers. Rowsell hopes the community embraces the show and leave the theatre, like so many others, saying Four Seasons’ shows are “better than TV.” “People should check it out, largely because it has everything – visual appeal, story (and audiences) will see the best talent we can draw from the CRD on stage. “I think society has lost something when we stop gathering together for community (entertainment),” he said. “It is such a rich story that all of us can relate to it somehow. All of us have experienced pain and joy in different circumstances in our life and I think people can deeply relate to this show.” Tickets are $12 for children 12 and under, $18 for adults and $54 for families of four.

Glaucoma...

“the sneak–thief of sight” Glaucoma is a disease that is characterized by higher than average pressures within the eye. Those higher pressures can cause optic nerve damage, which in turn may lead to vision loss. Most types of glaucoma do not have any dramatic or painful symptoms, but develop slowly and subtly over a period of time. Since peripheral vision is generally affected first, most patients never suspect they even have a problem. For that reason glaucoma is called “the sneak-thief of sight.” Although the most common type of glaucoma cannot be cured, if detected and controlled early, vision can be preserved. Early diagnosis is of paramount importance as the damage to sight can not be reversed, but its progress can be halted. Who is at risk for developing glaucoma? Risk factors include: • Family history of glaucoma • Being over the age of forty • Elevated intraocular pressure • Diabetes • High myopia (nearsighted) • Being of African descent • Smoking (another good reason to quit) Your optometrist will routinely check your eye pressure, examine the optic nerve at the point where it enters the eye and assess other risk factors. The optic nerve changes in appearance as glaucoma damages the nerve fibers. Visual field testing can be arranged by your optometrist to check the sensitivity of both your central and peripheral vision. If your optometrist suspects that you have glaucoma, you will be referred to an opthalmologist. If the diagnosis is confirmed, treatment will be initiated. Medication to decrease fluid production or increase drainage is often used to reduce intra-ocular pressure. Compliance to the medication schedule is essential for the preservation of vision. The best way to prevent damage from glaucoma is never to let it progress. You should have your eyes examined regularly to avoid this preventable loss of vision.

In the wake of a public complaint by non-incumbent candidates that their request to speak to residents at Alexander Mackie Lodge was denied, the operators of the independent living facility have moved their annual council walkabout to two days after the municipal election. Micky Fleming, co-owner of Cherish Community Living, told the Gazette in an email that, “Given it is an election year we have chosen to move the date of our tour of the Mackie for the Mayor and Councillors to the 17th of November.” Fleming reiterated the fact that no

candidates for election in Langford have been invited to make a public speech at the Mackie. A story in the Nov. 7 Gazette stated that candidates running under the Time for a Change banner had their request to speak to residents turned down because the board was supporting the incumbent candidates. Fleming pointed out in a separate email that Coun. Lanny Seaton, who sits on the volunteer board of the Mackie, was not a part of the decision to decline the group’s request to speak to residents. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

It’s a little bit hard to figure out who to vote for. And I’m a bit ticked off at the new burning regulations, so I don’t want to vote for anyone who voted those in.”

OUR VIEW

Election signs blossoming For the past couple of weeks, the election sign wars on the West Shore seem to have been waged primarily by candidates for trustee with the Sooke School District. This past weekend, however, candidates for council in the various municipalities have Campaign planting their volunteers jockey begun roadside advertising for sign positions along virtually every public boulevard and common area visible to motorists driving by. We’ve come to expect a proliferation of election signs for any campaign, whether it be municipal, provincial or federal. Placing them in prominent places, even more so than on residents’ front lawns, is a quick and easy way for candidates to get their name out into the public eye. For voters in Colwood, Langford and View Royal, where the largest number of candidates are running for mayor or councillor positions, the sign pollution can get to be a bit much. Volunteers for the various campaigns frequently try to outdo the others by covering up opposing signs with their own, leading to a bombardment on motorists who are supposed to be keeping their eyes on the roads. Individual municipalities have their own rules for the placement of such signs on public property, mostly relating to hindrances to public safety. Elections BC prohibits the placement of election signs within 100 metres of a district elections office or a polling place when voting is being conducted. Throughout the municipalities, however, mostly anything goes. It’s debatable how much effect election signs have on the voting public, but they continue to be a mainstay of many candidates. But any political hopeful who thinks they’re a substitute for actually getting out and talking to people where they live should give some serious thought to why they decided to run in the first place.

It’s about whether B.C. maintains its gas industry. And so far, natural gas is the only thing that has substantially cut carbon emissions.

Letters to the Editor

Island Savings vital to Island communities With three days left in the voting for the proposed merger of Island Savings and First West, many questions remain unanswered for Island Savings members. It remains unclear just exactly how a larger credit union will actually benefit Vancouver Island communities if they lose control of their credit union in the process. The key to local investment in a credit union is always local control. This is the heart and soul of a truly successful credit union – one that lives its co-op principles. Lose this and all bets are off. With Island Savings assets being

transferred to the mainland, along with its head office and its loss of director seats, all Island Savings members can do is hope and pray that bigger means better. Unfortunately, and as we have all seen with the bank fiascos of recent years, this is far from certain. Bigger in this world almost always means even less representation of local community interests, as money drives to higher profit opportunities in other regions. With the majority of members in the merged organization being in the Okanagan, Thompson and Langley areas, where is the incentive to invest

in Island communities? The recent announcement by Island Savings CEO Ron Dewar of a $2 million endowment for Island communities if the merger goes through is not reassuring. Rather, it seems as though the offer is an attempt to ward off precisely these fears of loss of local investment by a credit union that has operated successfully on the Island for over 60 years. The drive toward larger credit unions across B.C. is part of a process ongoing for the past 15 years or more. Along with it has come a growing corporatization of credit union boards and a

style of management and business more reminiscent of the mainstream banks, which prompted many members to join credit unions to avoid. Island Savings is an institution that is vital to the economic health of local communities precisely because it remains under local control. It would be folly to forego this for the vague promises of “better services and increased benefits” that, compared to the maintenance of local investment, are a poor bargain indeed. John Restakis former executive director BC Co-operative Association

‘Better At Home’ program’s aim to connect seniors, community Volunteers needed to help get new service off the ground Angela Cowan News Gazette staff

I want to be part of the positive, forward momentum of Colwood over the next four years.

dEVItO, Buddy

A new program is launching at the Pacific Centre Family Services Association to connect West Shore seniors with their community. The “Better At Home” program is brand new, and funded by the government of Canada. “What we’re trying to do is identify volunteers and seniorfriendly services to support seniors in the West Shore, so they can live more independently and with more dignity at home,” said Mitzi Dean, executive director of the association. “A lot of seniors on the West Shore are a bit isolated. The absolute goal of (the program) is to help seniors living in their

homes stay there longer.” The program isn’t designed to provide medical or life-saving services, but rather to help seniors live their day-to-day lives with ease and comfort. “It’s about helping them to socialize, and helping them to actually get to places,” Dean said. Volunteers are able to sign up for a variety of assignments, including driving seniors to appointments or to run errands, socializing with them and doing small, odd jobs. “There are lots of different ways to help out,” Dean added. “Little things that will help them stay more independent. The program is also in need of volunteers to help out, she said. The official program launch is

Thursday, Nov. 20 at Church of the Advent, 510 Mount View Ave. in Colwood, from 2 to 4 p.m. The afternoon is open to caregivers, family members and friends of seniors and seniorfriendly businesses. Dean, West Shore Chamber of Commerce president Doug Kobayashi and Esquimalt-Royal Roads MLA Maurine Karagianis will be speaking, and local musicians Sophia Higgins and Ben Baird will be providing entertainment. “We’re looking to refer seniors to the program, and connect them with senior-friendly services and businesses,” Dean said. For more information, call Pacific Centre Family Services Association at 250-478-8357. acowan@goldstreamgazette.com

One of View Royal resident Marlene Johnson’s favourite places to walk is through Goldstream Provincial Park in the fall. She captured the lush greenery and a peek-a-boo view of the river during a recent visit. The image caught our attention and earns Marlene Reader Photo of the Week honours. “The rainforest is as lush and green as ever thanks to the rain and the moisture of the river,” she writes. “The ferns and the moss hanging from the trees turn this forest into a very special, almost fairy tale-like place. There is always something to discover.” If you’ve got a photo from the West Shore of people places or things and want to share it with our readers, the Goldstream News Gazette can help you out with that. Every Wednesday, we publish our pick for Reader Photo of the Week. To have your photo considered for publication, simply email us a high-resolution .jpg copy to editor@goldstreamgazette. com. Please include your name, contact information including municipality of residence, where you took the photo and what you like about the image. Entries must be received by 5 p.m. Fridays to be included for consideration for the following week’s paper. Weekly winners will also be posted on the Gazette’s Facebook page. Good luck!

Program matches apprentices with employers

LANGFORD’S AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROGRAM Accepting applications to purchase a 2-bedroom apartment in the Happy Valley Area for $124,000.00

Online ‘Apprentice Job Match’ launched at Camosun College Friday

The City of Langford is now accepting applications from qualified applicants wishing to purchase an affordable housing unit under Langford’s Affordable Housing Program. Any applicants currently on the waitlist are encouraged to update their applications.

Angela Cowan

Successful applicants to the program will be chosen on a points system, based upon pre-selected criteria. The identities of applicants will be kept confidential and will not be made available to the public nor to any member of the Affordable Housing Committee or Council.

News Gazette staff

The Industry Training Authority (ITA) and WorkBC have launched a new innovative online tool to connect apprentices with employers through Victoria and the West Shore. Apprentice Job Match was launched locally Friday (Nov. 7) at Camosun College, where Foundation Program students, local employers and industry stakeholders joined ITA to learn more about how the tool works and how it can assist them in their job or apprenticeship search. “Helping apprentices find employer sponsors is critical to improving apprenticeship completion rates and ensuring industry has the skilled labour it needs to take advantage of our growing economy,” said Shirley Bond, Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Minister Responsible for Labour. “Employers are an essential component of any apprenticeship, as 80 per cent of an apprentice’s journey is spent in practical training under the guidance of an employer,” said Gary Herman, ITA CEO. “It can be challenging for young apprentices, especially for those just starting out, to find employment, so the online Apprentice Job Match tool is an invaluable resource for them, as well as employer sponsors looking to hire apprentices.” ITA is hosting a webinar today (Nov. 12) from noon to 1 p.m. to take apprentices and employers through the process. To sign up, visit itabc.ca/ events/apprentice-job-match-webinar. acowan@goldstreamgazette.com

Any information provided in an application for Affordable Housing is collected for the purpose of administering the City’s Affordable Housing Program under the authority of the Community Charter and the Local Government Act. Further information about the collection of the information is available from the City’s Information and Privacy Coordinator. Application packages are available on our website at www.cityoflangford.ca or at the City of Langford Planning Department, 2nd Floor, 877 Goldstream Avenue, Langford, BC, during office hours, 8:30am to 4:30pm, Monday to Friday, excluding statutory holidays. You may also reach the City of Langford Planning Department by telephone at 250.478.7882. Please read the entire application package and pay special attention in reading the minimum eligibility criteria for all successful applicants to the program.

It really says something when a Belmont senior girls volleyball team plagued by injuries and forced to forfeit a couple matches in the city 4A playoffs remains in the provincial top 10. Coach Mike Toakleyâ€™s team hosts the final league play evening of the season tonight (Nov. 12, 6 p.m.) in preparation for this weekendâ€™s Island championships at Oak Bay. Looking at how the girlsâ€™ season has shaped up, he said heâ€™s never seen anything like it in 30-plus years of coaching. To cover off for injured players over the past month or so, heâ€™s recruited a couple of former junior girls players, including one whoâ€™s committed to ice hockey, and one of the stars off the current junior girls team â€“Â who later broke her wrist. â€œIâ€™ve never had a season like this, where a team has lost players and picked up players to salvage their season,â€? Toakley said. â€œIâ€™m extremely proud of how the girls have adapted to the challenges as theyâ€™ve come up, one after the other, after the other.â€? Tonightâ€™s action offers a chance to see what works and what doesnâ€™t in the makeshift lineup, he said. Looking ahead to Islands, making the final and claiming one of the two berths into the upcoming provincial 4A championships in Cranbrook will require firing on all cylinders

against some tough teams. With Greater Victoria teams the power on the Island this season, it may come down to who beats who between the top three of Oak Bay, Claremont and Belmont. â€œWeâ€™ve split with Oak Bay this year, but we havenâ€™t played them with our revamped lineup,â€? Toakley said. â€œItâ€™s a real question mark whether this lineup is a better one than what we had before. Itâ€™ll be different, for sure.â€? Belmont hasnâ€™t lost to Claremont this season. The Bulldogsâ€™ transformation of necessity has seen established players moved into different roles and newcomers given responsibilities theyâ€™ve never had before. Grade 12 setter Danielle Potier remains in her critical role. But fellow seniors Nicole Bracewell, formerly the teamâ€™s libero and sometime defensive specialist and now a rightside attacker; and Cassy Allen, a former middle blocker who has moved over to play leftside, are learning new positions. Less so for Jessica Thomsen, a former rightside whoâ€™s been shifted to the left. Among the newcomers, hockey player Jessica Lusk was recommended to Toakley by Belmont athletic director Ken Lowe, who coached her in junior girls and was impressed by her athleticism. When sheâ€™s available, sheâ€™s lining up at middle, as is fellow recruit Monique Lutyk, another former Lowe junior who

went into the Nov. 4 league night with one practice under her belt yet performed admirably as the Bulldogs won four straight games. Rounding out the roster are front row players, Rebecca Birtwistle and Allegra Pala, who has been touch and go with a back injury of late. Both finalists make the provincials, unlike last year when just one berth was automatic. Belmont lost the 2013 final to Vanier of Courtenay and was forced to play in a wild card tournament on the mainland, where it fell short by one spot again for a berth into the B.C. championships. No wild card tournament is being held this year. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Tourney time n The Belmont Bulldogs senior girls volleyball team opens the Island 4A championships Friday at Oak Bay High with pool play matches against Cowichan (12:10 p.m.), Spectrum (3:40 p.m.) and Oak Bay (4:50 p.m.). n The dayâ€™s results will determine Saturdayâ€™s crossover round opponents. The two pool winners receive a bye to the semifinals at noon. The final and bronze medal matches happen at 3:30 p.m.

Saanich-stung Westshore looks to rebound against Cats Less than a week removed from one of their worst defeats of the Vancouver Island Hockey League season, the Westshore Wolves have another chance to gain ground on the South Division-leading Victoria Cougars. The Wolves, 8-2 losers in Saanich on Friday – they were scheduled to host the Kerry Park Islanders last night, after the Gazette deadline – are in Esquimalt tomorrow night (Nov. 13) for another head-to-head matchup with the Cougars. The Wolves (14-6-1) and Victoria (15-2-1) face off at 7 p.m. Photo by Tony Burrows

Victoria Grizzlies goaltender Michael Stiliadis watches the play above the spray from a Powell River forward (out of frame), while opposing players jostle beside him. The Grizzlies won this home game 4-2 after losing 4-3 to Penticton in double overtime Friday night at The Q Centre.

Grizzlies prepare to put on mileage Three of four points taken against Powell River, Penticton The Victoria Grizzlies head out on their second extended road trip of the season this week. The B.C. Hockey League team plays three Interior Division teams, having had what could be considered a very successful weekend at home. The Grizzlies downed Island Division rival Powell River 4-2 on Saturday at The Q Centre, one night after holding their own against the Penticton Vees, the No. 1-ranked Junior A team in the country. The Vees overcame a 2-0 firstperiod deficit and beat Victoria 4-3 in double overtime.

While a win over Penticton would have been a major notch in the Grizzlies’ belt – taking a point off the Vees is the next best thing – beating the Kings in a key inter-divisional matchup was something the Colwoodbased squad could sink their teeth into. The Grizzlies (8-6-0-3) fell behind 2-0 to Powell River in the opening 2:21, but scored four unanswered goals to knock off the Kings (8-7-0-5). Matthew Kennedy led the attack with an empty net goal and assists on goals by Jay Mackie and Dane Gibson. Meirs

Moore scored the eventual winner on the power play late in the second period. The previous night, Matthew Serratore scored two minutes into the second overtime period to give the Vees the win. Penticton (17-3-0-1) made the Grizzlies pay on the power play, going two-for-five. Kennedy, P.J. Conlon and Brett Gruber tallied for Victoria, while goalie Michael Stiliadis stopped 38 of 42 shots to earn the game’s first star. The Grizzlies play the Smokeaters in Trail on Friday, West Kelowna on Saturday and Vernon on Sunday.

On Friday, Nick Guerra of the Braves and Quentin McShane of the Wolves traded goals five seconds apart in the first couple minutes of the second period following a scoreless first. Saanich tore things open with four straight goals in the period and never looked back. Westshore’s Corey Peterson cut the gap to 5-2 with an unassisted goal 18:10 into the second. The Braves got it back before intermission when Jack Rachwalski scored with 14 seconds left, then added two power play goals in the third. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

‘Diamond Decade’ gala raises $210k to fight juvenile diabetes Andrea Peacock Victoria News

The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation collected $210,000 in one night with a recent fundraiser in Victoria. The occasion was JDRF’s 10th annual Promise Ball fundraiser, named the Diamond Decade Gala. “We are the world’s largest non-government funder of Type 1 diabetes research,” said Jason Parkhill, JDRF manager of fundraising and development in Victoria.

JDRF has branches around the world and is known for funding research towards finding a cure, plus treatment and prevention programs for Type 1 diabetes. The gala at the Delta Ocean Pointe Resort and Spa featured a four-course dinner, a dance, silent and live auctions and entertainment. “We’re getting to be quite a ‘goto’ event,” Parkhill said. “I think people can see the relevancy of what they are able to do with their financial support and the incredible advances that JDRF is

to meet my granddaughter.

making toward finding a cure.” In fact, Parkhill said, a cure might not be far off. “There are treatments that are in clinical trials right now. Some of the world’s leading research is happening here in B.C.” Every year at the gala, a community service award is given to an individual for exemplary community service. This year, the Living and Giving award was given to Michael and Paddy Graetz, who have both been on the organizing committee for the Promise Ball for all 10 years. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Aid local charities through the #UsedHelps campaign Users of UsedVictoria.com can now donate the proceeds from the sale of their items to local charities, thanks to the creation of #UsedHelps. Users can select the #UsedHelps button when listing their items for sale. This allows them to choose a recipient from the participating list of charities. When the item is sold, the buyer’s credit card is charged and the donation is sent directly to the charity. “We expect a learning curve as users become accustomed to paying via credit card,” said Elizabeth Dutton, president of UsedEvery-

where.com. “For #UsedHelps transactions, you hit the ‘accept’ button on your mobile device instead of passing cash to the seller.” Charities interested in participating in #UsedHelps can contact Lesley Brown, managing director of Socoloco, the tech company that helped create #UsedHelps, at lesley@begiving.ca. Charities currently participating include Bridges For Women, Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island, Our Place Society and United Way of Greater Victoria, among others. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Eagle eyed Quin Walker, 10, tees off at the first hole of the Juan de Fuca par 3 course at West Shore Parks and Recreation. A golfer for several years already, Walker scored an eagle this summer at Highland Pacific on the front nine, a feat of which many adult golfers would be envious.
