Woman with rare disease ‘sews’ a few good deeds Effects of relatively unknown mitochondrial disease life-changing for Saanich woman Daniel Palmer News staff

Christine Knox can no longer do many simple activities like walk to the store or go for a drink in the evening, but she hopes to support others suffering from the same complex disease through her passion for quilting.

Knox battled constant migraines, an irregular heartbeat, muscle pain and fatigue for years before doctors discovered she suffers from mitochondrial disease, a debilitating condition where the energy powerhouses of the cells degrade or stop working altogether.

“I was sleeping sometimes up to 15 hours a day. It was like having the flu all the time and never recovering,” says Knox, who now takes a strict vitamin and pharmaceutical cocktail to manage her symptoms.

Mitochondrial disease includes a variety of genetic mutations in the mitochondrial DNA that can lead to seizures, hearing loss, heart problems and even respiratory failure.

One in 6,000 Canadians suffer from the disease but less than 10 per cent are diagnosed, according to MitoCanada, a registered charity that provides awareness and support for both patients and researchers studying its effects.

Prof. Francis Choy, a human geneticist and member of the University of Victoria’s Centre for Biomedical Studies, is one of those

Daniel Palmer/News staff

Christine Knox sits at her sewing machine with a near-finished quilt, destined for a patient with mitochondrial disease somewhere in Canada or the U.S. Knox started Quilts for Hope last year after she discovered she suffers from mitochondrial disease, which affects between one in 10,000 to one in 15,000 Canadians.

Did you know? n Mitochondria are responsible for creating more than 90 per cent of the energy required to sustain life and support growth in the human body. n Mitochondrial disease arises when mutations occur in the mitochondrial DNA. Those mutations can be inherited or occur spontaneously. n Defect in the mitochondrial DNA can lead to damage of the brain, heart, liver, skeletal muscles, kidney and the endocrine and respiratory systems. n There is no cure for mitochondrial disease. researchers fascinated by the disease and seeking treatments.

Choy estimates between one in 10,000 and one in 15,000 people are born with a mitochondrial disease, though he stresses that number is still an educated guess.

There’s no cure for the disease and current treatments are limited to managing symptoms and slowing disease progression, he said.

“It’s a complicated diagnosis but it can be done if the practitioner is

competent,” Choy said.

The disease is terrible in the worst manifestation, but fortunately many mutations fall below a threshold that still allows patients to live relatively productive lives, albeit with limited activity, he added.

In September, Choy and honours thesis biology student Kelly Turner published a paper in the Journal of Molecular and Genetics Medicine examining the current methods to prevent transmission of mitochondrial DNA defects from mother to child, a developing field of biomedical research that includes genetic diagnosis.

Family dog euthanized after attacking 16-day-old infant Pitbull-Rottweiler mixed breed had history of complaints after attacking animals Daniel Palmer News staff

A 16-day-old Saanich infant is awaiting surgery with non-life-threatening injuries after a family dog mauled

her early Sunday morning, according to Saanich police.

The incident took place inside a home in the 4000 block of McLellan Road, just off Mckenzie near Glanford in the early morning hours of Dec. 28, said Saanich police Sgt. Steve Eassie.

The dog, a pitbull-Rottweiler mixed breed, was euthanized Sunday afternoon, Eassie confirmed.

“I can confirm that the animal had been the subject of complaints dat-

Help Prevent Heart Attacks with Vitamin C and Lysine Powder W. Gifford-Jones, MD

W

hy is heart attack the number one killer in this country? Ninety-nine percent of doctors say it’s due to atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiologists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack.

Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Two-time Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling reported twenty-five years ago it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack.

Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Wellington University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens’ research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death.

I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens irrefutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent.

But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years I’ve been trying to find a company that would manufacture a combination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus™ is available at health food stores and specialty pharmacies.

The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop mixed with water or juice with breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day.

This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. That is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors.

As for me – I bet my life on vitamin C and lysine!

I turned 90 this year.

I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking cholesterol lowering drugs (CLD’s). I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications.

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF

Kitchen scraps ban now in effect at Hartland A full ban on kitchen scraps is now in effect at Hartland landfill, which means Saanich municipal workers and private company haulers will be fined heavily if organic waste is discovered in dumped waste.

In April 2012, the Capital Regional District board voted to implement a region-wide kitchen scraps strategy. Kitchen scraps include meat, bones, grains, dairy products, eggs, vegetables, fruits and soiled paper products.

While Saanich was one of the first municipalities to roll out the blue box recycling program, which started in Gordon Head in 1989, it was one of the slowest to deviate organic waste from its garbage, starting in early 2014.

Current recycling and composting programs divert 46 per cent of the waste stream from Hartland. The belief is that organic materials, such as kitchen scraps, still remove an additional 30 per cent of waste at Hartland. But the issue of where to process all that organic waste is still in disarray. The CRD is now in the process of sourcing a contract for a kitchen scraps processing facility in, or within proximity of, the Capital Region.

No site has yet been selected, but the construction completion date of a processing facility could take up to two years. Until that time, kitchen scraps will continue to be trucked upIsland and barged to the Lower Mainland.

B.C. Transit launches more user-friendly website B.C. Transit has launched a new website with the aim of easier and convenient access to online transit information.

The new-look website replaces graphics and a content management system that were more than 12 years old.

Improvements include an easy to view user interface on mobile devices (responsive design); automatic location recognition directing riders to their local BC Transit system; better access to schedule data; customer alerts; ability to subscribe to email alerts for specific bus routes (via email; and convenient trip planning for most of our larger transit systems.

Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries.

Sixteen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs. Instead, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal.

ing back several years for incidents involving other animals,” he added.

No incidents on file involved human attacks or injuries, Eassie said.

“The infant is scheduled for surgery but is in stable condition at this point,” he said.

At deadline, Saanich police officers were still contemplating charges for criminal negligence, but the investigation is ongoing, Eassie said.

Aiming high from down under Triathletes in Australia ahead of 2015 season Travis Paterson News staff

Despite enjoying a breakthrough period of consistency that he hasn’t enjoyed for almost two years, Matt Sharpe, 23, is once again looking to crack the national triathlon team.

In early December Sharpe, of Saanich, lost his Triathlon Canada team status. It’s a blow, as he is without the athletic funding necessary to train full time, but it wasn’t exactly a surprise, says Sharpe. It’s certainly not enough to keep him from chasing his dream of competing at the Olympics, as he’s well prepped for the 2015 season.

“I didn't have much of an opportunity to perform (this year) and there were a limited number of (team spots) so the math just didn't work, which is understandable. In the past I've shown success when I can train fairly consistent and I'm currently having a breakthrough period of consistency that I haven't seen in almost two years. There are good signs.”

Sharpe does have an opportunity to receive the funding again if he can perform well in early season races in February and March, which he’s confident he can. He’s in a training group alongside 2014 Commonwealth Games triathletes Victoria-based Ellen Pennock and Sarah-Anne Brault, among others, under the guidance of coach Jamie Turner, the highly praised New Zealander that Triathlon Canada brought in last year.

“It would be foolish for me to just give up on (the sport) now … with the investments I made last year and the proximity to the Olympics,” Sharpe says. “For the time being, family will help me continue to train.”

This week, the group is leaving the warm waters of Crystal Pool for the warm air of Wollongong, Australia, where coach Turner was previously based. They’ll actually meet up with a fellow group of Turner’s athletes called the Wollongong Wizards, a designation the athletes quietly rock here in Victoria.

“Australia is something we’re excited about, meeting up with people on the same plan,” says Sharpe, who’s spent Canada’s colder months in Spain the past two seasons.

The upcoming stint Down Under will make or break not only Sharpe’s season but Pennock’s and Brault’s too, as all three are at a turning point in their careers.

Pennock, 22, and Brault, 25, have goals of their own, as both are looking to improve despite being unable to finish the Com-

Travis Paterson/News staff

Sarah-Anne Brault, Matt Sharpe and Ellen Pennock show their Ws as members of the Wollongong Wizards. The group of triathletes is headed by Triathlon Canada coach Jamie Turner, who will guide them into the 2015 season, starting with a January training block in Wollongong, Australia. monwealth triathlon (one third of starters didn’t) where Saanich’s Kirsten Sweetland won silver. (Sweetland is also headed to Australia in January, though she’ll be based in Noosa. She’ll continue her online coaching with Shaun Stephens, the Aussie who also coaches Team Sky, the UCI pro cycling team which boasts Tour de France winners Chris Froome and Bradley Wiggins.)

Triathlon is like that. There are too many variables to worry about winning every race, though there are the obvious standouts, such as Rio de Janeiro in 2016.

For Pennock, 2015 is all about the Grand Final in Chicago, her final year in the under23 category. The former UVic Vikes cross country runner came to Saanich from Calgary and won 2011 CIS rookie of the year.

Her departure from school to focus on triathlon was going well until she broke her

collar bone at the Commonwealth Games in July.

“I wasn’t recovered enough to train until October,” Pennock said. “Initially it was only two weeks until I was walking. There was too much pain, I just walked for a good five weeks.”

Pennock was hoping to race in the open elite category this year but because of the setback, she’s focused on the U23 level for now.

When she started swimming a little over two months ago, it was with a one-arm side stroke.

“It will take time to gain the strength back in the pool but I expect to be on track,” Pennock says.

For Pennock’s Fairfield roomate Brault, originally out of Quebec City, there is an expectation to compete at the 2015 Rio de

Janeiro Test Event, Aug. 1- 2. It’s an Olympic qualification, but not the only chance to qualify for the 2016 Rio Games.

“Triathlon Canada will look at all your races, but you know the Rio Test Event is likely the Olympic race course so that’s very inviting,” Brault said. “But really, qualifying goes until 2016.”

The key thing is showing you’re capable, says Sharpe, who had hoped for more in 2014 but instead experienced a year of injuries and setbacks. It kept him from repeating his promising campaign from 2012 when, as a 21-year-old, he earned top-10 finishes in the open category of the International Triathlon Union, though he was a U23 level competitor.

“It’s consistency. You can’t drop off,” says Sharpe. reporter@saanichnews.com

While research is still in the early stages, some women with the most severe cases of mitochondrial disease can potentially have children without passing on their genetic mutations.

“Since the mitochondria are the powerhouses of our cells, they’re super important for the tissue that has high energy uses, so the brain or the muscles,” Turner said. “When there’s a defect in the mitochondria, it makes you sick because you don’t have enough energy getting to certain places in your body.”

The disease may be less familiar among physicians who graduated before the mid-1980s, when

medical genetics became standard learning in medical training.

But Choy and others continue to offer advanced genetic testing for those suffering from mitochondrial disease with the goal of developing better treatment and prevention methods.

“Certain vitamin therapies have been shown to improve the symptoms, but it’s so hard to predict how a specific patient is going to react. It’s really an individual disease,” Turner said.

Knox, who gets by thanks to solid disability insurance from her former employer, is now putting what energy she has towards the Mito Quilts of Hope project, which raises awareness by sending handmade quilts to others with mitochondrial disease.

“In Canada, I’ve got about 30 requests for quilts,” Knox said. “In the U.S., I’ve got over 100 requests.

I’ve already sent out about 20 quilts, which take anywhere from three to six months to make depending on the complexity of design.”

Knox is looking for quilting volunteers to help her fill those back orders. She’s also teamed up with local filmmaker Brian Barnard to produce a film about mitochondrial disease and her own journey.

“Relatively speaking, I’ve lived a very full life,” she said. “This is what I can do now to make a difference with the talents I still have.”

Christmas on Endor by Crystal Smith and Kaprieli Vataiki.

The annual fundraising event puts these scrumptious creations on display where they will go head-to-head, all in the name of raising funds for Habitat For Humanity Victoria, who are currently building a four-unit townhouse at 4000 Cedar Hill Cross Rd. in Saanich.

This year’s theme focuses on Where Things Live, allowing participants to let their imaginations run wild as they dream up homes for snails, Ewoks, and even a little boy’s imagination.

Both the professional and home baker creations were judged and awarded top prizes by a panel of judges.

However, members of the public have the ultimate power by picking the winner of the highest category, People’s Choice, by exchanging a donation to Habitat for Humanity Victoria for a vote.

Ballots and donation boxes are located at the hotel’s front desk and lobby display area (voting for the People’s Choice award closes on Sunday (Jan. 4).

OUR VIEW

Canadian oil economy slowdown has impact The plummeting price of oil may have a big impact on the Canadian and B.C. economies in the next year or two.

Some of that will be positive, but it is likely that it will be mainly negative.

The price of gasoline (but not diesel fuel) is falling, and that means more money in the pockets of consumers.

This helps us meet other obligations such as rent, credit card bills and onerous child care costs.

If the provincial and regional governments can avoid the temptation to tax this newly found money out of people’s pockets, the fall in prices will likely do more good than harm.

Two bright spots may be a boost in exports if the Canadian dollar remains low, and a much-needed soul searching of the full-steam-ahead approach to oilsands development.

But the negative implications are widespread. There will almost certainly be a fall in economic activity, and particularly job creation.

Many well-paying jobs are concentrated in the oilsands and there are Greater Victoria residents who either work there or work for companies that exploit or supply the oilsands.

There will be no new construction projects in that area, as long as oil prices stay at the $60 to $70 per barrel level.

It simply costs too much to produce oil to justify unnecessary expansion during periods like this.

As economic activity is reduced, it impacts taxation to the federal and provincial governments. Alberta, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland and B.C. all are dependent on revenue from oil and natural gas. In B.C., at least one LNG project has been delayed by the falling price of oil, as Asian natural gas prices are tied to oil prices.

More projects could be delayed or even cancelled. It is significant that none of the major LNG players are ready to commit.

A fall in economic activity likely means that 2015 will see much lower growth than anticipated, which won’t help the overall Canadian economy.

CAO pay wasn’t Atwell’s doing Re: Mayor, council clash over top bureaucrat’s $476,000 departure, News (Dec. 19) Why is Mayor Atwell the focus of criticism over the costly $476,611 severance package for the termination of Saanich’s Chief Administrative Officer, when he played no part in this generous package? Why is the criticism not focussing on those responsible for the overly generous compensation and severance awarded to a CAO with no previous track-record or experience.

Moreover, do we have any evidence the CAO was doing a stellar job or, would be willing and able to strive to fulfil the campaign promises of good governance, transparency, accountability made not only by candidate Atwell, but also, heard at the all-candidates meetings from just every candidate? It is inappropriate to discuss such details in public, so it is unlikely we will ever know the true reason

for the CAO’s departure.

In the long-run, will the departure of the CAO be good for Saanich? Only time will tell. But what we do know is Mayor Atwell was not responsible for the cost of the severance package.

Bob Furber Saanich

Former CAO’s payout too rich a contract I completely agree with Mayor Richard Atwell’s decision to ask for the CAO’s resignation.

I think it is important to be able to work with someone new in this position who is not a leftover

from the previous regime.

It is always interesting to learn (in the process) about these sweetheart deals with which these managers are able to leave.

I find a $476,000 severance for a CAO of a municipality way too rich.

I hope Mayor Atwell can negotiate more reasonable contracts with future managers.

I, for one, welcome the new mayor’s fresh ideas. I think Atwell will be far more responsible with taxpayers’ money than the former mayor as seen here with this ridiculous severance package.

Ask the President - Tim Ayres, Victoria Real Estate Board President

www.vreb.org

Why would I hire a REALTORŽ? Can’t I just sell my own home?

You can legally sell your own home, cut your own hair and write your own pre nuptial agreement, but most people choose to turn to the experts in those services to get things done right. Selling a home may seem simple from the outside, you list the home online, people call to look at the house, and within a month, you’re finished the deal with cash in hand...right? That’s the very high level view, and there are a hundred little details hidden within required to close a deal safely and securely.

Remember, selling or buying a home is one of the largest financial decisions you’ll make. It pays to have an expert in your corner to protect your interests and manage the details. Talk to a REALTORŽ about what they can do to help sell your home.

Have a real estate question? Send it to president@vreb.org!

Whatever your needs are, a REALTORÂŽ can help.

Watch Amy’s new show every Thursday at 10:30pm on

Victoria’s popular interior designer writes every week in REV. Follow her column and check out more on www.revweekly.com

Interior design for pet lovers Milo, our 15lb terrier cross, has become the patriarch of our family over the past three years and occupies a huge part of my heart. He has been the namesake for one of my furniture design collections, the inspiration for many neutral colour palettes, and has had two guest appearances on my TV Milo show Trend (which airs weekly on Chek.) Pet lovers can relate to my adoration for this little guy when I speak of the warmth and compassion that our furry friend brings into our home. However, I am sure that you can also relate to some of my frustrations when making the home pet friendly, while maintaining a lovely looking space. Copious amounts of hair or fur, scratching of your furniture and the occasional accident on your favorite area rug are just few challenges that may present themselves. On the other hand, with a little extra planning you can make your coexistence much easier. While each pet is a little different in their needs and requirements, here are some tricks that have worked for our family.

One suggestion is to choose materials for your furniture that are extremely durable and compliment your pet’s hair colour. I am extremely lucky that Milo fits into my obsession with all shades of grey (purely by coincidence). I have chosen furniture that is within the grey tones and in fabrics of ultra suede and leatherette for the main pieces. While leather is also a very durable option, I found that leatherette was a better option for us. They exceed up to a 500,000 double rub count, making them less likely to puncture

AMY’S DESIGN TIPS: f Don’t use a flat wall paint. Hair and dander will stick to the surface and make washing the walls more difficult f Keep fragile décor and breakables out of your pet’s reach. It is much like child proofing a home f One of my go-to leatherettes for furniture is Turner Chinchilla by J.Ennis Fabrics. It has a 500,000 double rub count and looks great with most decors

from little claws and can be wiped down with mild soap and water (no leather conditioning or special cleaners required.)

Having hard surface floors, with good quality area rugs has been a blessing for our pet friendly home. While we realize that investing in an expensive area rug at this point isn’t practical for us, having the option to take a mid-range, good quality rug out of the house to have it professionally cleaned or replaced if it is unsalvagable is a more economical option than replacing wall to wall carpeting throughout the entire home. If you have a large dog that will mark softer hardwoods with their claws, a durable luxury vinyl plank, tile or laminate floor may be the best option for you.

One project I embarked on was the dog bathing station that I set up in our laundry room. Of course I was inspired by one of the many ideas found on pinterest. Milo is fairly small, and doesn’t need a lot of elaborate features. I installed a faucet with a hose attachment, deep laundry tub and shelves with many small baskets for organizing the tools needed to get the little guy spick- and-span after a long hike or walk.

CONTESTS Happy New Year GREAT PRIZES

Microbiologist opens latest micro brewery Travis Paterson News staff

It was a merry start to Christmas for Greater Victoria beer lovers as B.C.’s newest craft brewery, Category 12 Brewing, opened on Dec. 17 at 2200 Keating Cross Rd. The first and only modern brewery in Central Saanich boasts a tasting room where craft beer enthusiasts can refill (or purchase) two litre growlers with fresh beer and 650 mL bottles.

It opened with such appeal that on-site fill-ups are currently unavailable until mid-January, though a handful of local pubs and restaurants are well stocked for the new year.

Category 12 was long in the making, founded by microbiologist Michael Kuzyk, who’s spent years tinkering with the science of beer at home with his partner Karen.

“I started home brewing during grad studies first as a necessity, but it quickly became a passion of mine.

I wanted to turn my passion into my full time occupation so I could really explore the creativity of industrial fermentation and, most importantly, share it with others,” Michael said.

Until Category 12 came to frution, Michael, a PhD in microbiology and

biochemistry from the University of Victoria, had been practising as a professional scientist.

The brewery is launching with a saison (wheat style) and a Black India Pale Ale, with a pale ale soon to come.

The brewery’s focus will be on Belgian influenced beers and the current trend of Pacific Northwest style beers. Two additional seasonals will be available throughout the year.

“We wanted to make it clear that we are here to make creative styles and experiment. We have to stand out in a competitive market. I think craft beer fans will immediately understand what we are trying to accomplish when they taste our first two beers,” Michael said.

The Keating industrial area is a fitting location as hops were once a staple crop of the North and Central Saanich farming communities a century ago.

To try a Category 12 beer, head to The Beagle Pub, Garricks Head Pub, The Churchill, The Drake Eatery, Pizzeria Prima Strada , The Moon Under Water Brewery & Pub, Spinnakers Gastro Brewpub or find bottles at many private liquor stores around town For more information visit category12beer.com. reporter@saaanichnews.com

SAANICH NEWS - Friday, January 2, 2015

Former Braves at the next level Christian J.

STEWART

>BRAVESBEAT

@cjs_photography

As the final stretch of the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League season nears, it’s a great time to reflect on the paths of exSaanich Braves.

A great many VIJHL players used the league as a developmental stepping stone to the next level of their hockey careers, be it at the Junior A and major junior level, college and university, or pro.

The most notable example at the moment being Matt Irwin of the San Jose Sharks and Adam Cracknell of the Columbus Blue Jackets, who both donned the red, white and black of the Saanich Braves.

The VIJHL has gained a great reputation over the past 10 years as a superb developmental league for players and in that regard, the Braves are one of the top teams

in the league at moving players to the next level.

This is thanks to co-owner/ GM Norm Kelly and head coach Brad Cook, who take a proactive approach to use their connections in the hockey community to find players who will fit the Braves’ mandate.

Cook is known for his dedication to development and the sacrificesneeded to win at the Jr. B level, having long ago said, “While winning championships is nice and what both players and coaches compete for. But I'd rather coach 10 years in this league and not win any (if it meant) I moved five or six players per year on to the next level. I would be satisfied with that kind of program success.

“When you have that success of moving guys on to the next level, ultimately that's what we are here for. We are a stepping stone and a development league through and through and that's what I try and live by. I will never hold a kid back, I want kids to be gone.”

However, it’s a perpetual double-edged sword as moving a player up usually means you lose a quality player from the current roster. Witness the case of Braves forward Nick Guerra, who

both last year and this year, split time between the Braves and the Junior A Nanaimo Clippers of the BCHL and who recently departed the Braves as the team’s leading scorer to play full-time with the Clippers.

And Guerra’s not the only Brave on this year's roster to have spent time at the Junior A level, including Hunter Atchison (Trail Smoke Eaters) and Connor Birmingham (Chilliwack Chiefs). In fact, Seamus Maguire recently returned to the Braves after spending all of last season and the first part of this season with the Junior A Flin Flon Bombers in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League.

As to former Braves enjoying success at the next level, one need not look too far back to see a long list of Braves now playing at the Junior A or college level.

Jake Daughtry (2013-2014) is now seeing regular ice time at the University of Central Oklahoma, and is skating along fellow Braves alumni Chad Roorda (2011-2013), Trevor Yee (2008-2010) and Gaven

Hohl (2009-2010).

The 2012-2013 season was a particularly strong class of graduating Braves. Leading the charge was 2012-2013 captain and former VIJHL MVP Ty Jones, who is now at the University of Oklahoma. Sam Johnston and Justin Polischuck are in their second year with the Adrian College Bulldogs (Michigan) in the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA). Defenceman Brandon Parmar - older brother of current Braves forward Jordan - played a season for the University of Victoria in the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey Association.

Cole Golka went on to play Junior A with the LaRonge Ice Wolves (SJHL) and is now leading scorer with the Junior A Dryden Ice Dogs in Ontario’s Superior International Junior Hockey League.

Locally, Shawn McBride and Kevin Massy are key members of the Victoria Grizzlies in the BCHL, looking to secure college scholarships down the road.

McBride is also captain of this year's Grizzlies squad.

Speaking of local, post-VIJHL life has been good for Braves graduates Jack Palmer and Wade Murphy. Palmer, who finished second to Jones in team scoring in 20112012 (and won the VIJHL Rookie of the Year award) went on to play two seasons for the Brandon Wheat Kings in the Western Hockey League (WHL) before being traded to the Victoria Royals where he is a dependable centre.

Murphy, who patrolled the ice at Pearkes arena in 2009-2010, went on to play for the Victoria Grizzlies and Penticton Vees in the BCHL, winning the RBC Jr. A national championship, and now skates for the storied University of North Dakota in the NCAA. In 2013, Murphy was selected 185th overall by the Nashville Predators in the NHL Entry Draft.

The Braves were back in action last night (past press time) against the Peninsula Panthers and are at home to the Nanaimo Clippers today, Jan. 2, with a 6:30 p.m. start at Pearkes Arena.

Existing styles of bulbs from halogen to flourescent are still in use, but LED lights are longer lasting and more efficient to use.

The last of the incandescent light bulbs, the 40- and 60-watt versions, join the 100-watt bulb in being legislated out of existence as of Dec. 31.

LED lights are still the most expensive lighting product, but McDougall points out that ”because the price has continued to come down more people are using them.”

LED lights are being incorporated into all styles of light fixtures from desk lamps to chandeliers.

“Victoria is a diverse community for lighting,” says McDougall. “It is very modern but has a strong base for traditional and industrial styles of lighting.

“Craftsman style is also a favourite but that is currently morphing into more of a West Coast contemporary look.”

McLaren Lighting always has classic Tiffany-style lamps in stock as well. McDougall says that “Tiffany style is a small market but one that is always there.”

When asked what customers should keep in mind when purchasing lighting for their home, McDougall suggests that “living space needs to be lit for the task at hand.”

Mike McDougall, a certified lighting consultant with McLaren Lighting, stands with a display of LED light bulbs, left, and LED lighting in the Douglas Street store.

He reminds buyers that areas such as workspaces need brighter light and to consider that when designing a residence or retro-fitting current lights.

He also suggest that multiple light switches and dimmers are becoming a thing of the past. New onestop key pads give you the ability to control all your lights on one panel and allow you to create preset lighting conditions for different times of your day.

“You can push one button and have all your lighting change,” he says.

McDougall recommends using experienced staff from a lighting store when purchasing lighting products.

“We’ve done the research and worked with the items in stock,” he says. “We want to be sure the homeowner has the right product for their needs.” editor@saanichews.com
