Vets Affairs cuts will exacerbate already critical situation: Legion Veterans will suffer from numbers game, union rep says Erin McCracken Vic High’s busy 2012 valedictorians, Jessica Dillon and Noah Spriggs have been trying to fit in time to work on their joint speech for next Tuesday’s graduation ceremony at the University of Victoria. Vic High’s prom happens tonight (June 1).

dinner-dance, Dillon and her nine fellow crew members organized several fundraisers – with just 13 days of planning. After purposely lowballing their fundraising goals on each event, but maximizing their efforts, they shattered their objectives and brought in $5,000. That level of leadership is something of which Grade 12 students have plenty of opportunities to take advantage, she says.
The elimination of frontline staff at the Victoria office of Veterans Affairs Canada this fall will deal a devastating blow to military veterans, says the union representing affected employees. The federal department’s main office on the Island will see its roster of 17 client service agents shrink by 4.37 full-time equivalent positions, as part of a nationwide downsizing plan. The Victoria agents each work with hundreds of veterans – including those from out of province – applying for disability pensions and mobility aids, among other services. In the wake of the job cuts, the Royal Canadian Legion in B.C. expects to see an influx of veterans Dave Sinclair submitting more disability claims. That will further swamp the Legion’s two service officers, one each at CFB Esquimalt and in Vancouver, who are already filing papers for hundreds of vets, who turn to the Legion rather than Veterans Affairs. “The workload has increased tenfold for our two service officers in the last few months, to a point where we’re going to have to hire two more,” said Dave Sinclair, immediate past president of the B.C./Yukon Command of the Royal Canadian Legion. Job cuts at Veterans Affairs will only compound the challenge of providing for military veterans, he said. The number of Afghanistan vets who are now seeking treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder from Legion-funded treatment programs, and who are seeking to file claims, is only the tip of the iceberg.

s parents of school-aged children can attest, spring is often a busy time of year. Try being a student in Grade 12, attempting to find a balance between numerous activities and end-of-term schoolwork.
Then throw organizing your class’ grad activities into the mix. “May has been a blink,” says Jessica Dillon, Vic High’s co-valedictorian with fellow student Noah Spriggs. “June is going to go by so fast. I’m looking forward to a slow summer.” Dillon has played a leadership role on the school’s grad committee, in a year where students have picked up the organizational slack due to teacher job action. “We’ve been off-our-feet busy,” she says.

Anna’s paradise A keen ear and a trained eye allow birders to capture intimate moments among nesting hummingbirds Roszan Holmen News staff
It’s just past 8 a.m. and Eric Pittman is right on time to witness a momentous occasion in the bitsy lives of Rabbit and Hatter. With his video camera trained on the two baby hummingbirds, Pittman records the siblings leaving their nest, then flying right back – their first ventures out into the world. The babies’ speedy turnaround is something Pittman has never seen go down quite like this. “It’s very unusual,” he said. The Esquimalt resident is highly attuned to the intricacies of the birds’ behaviour. For the past three years, he has spent one to three hours a day documenting the life cycle of Anna’s hummingbirds, in a colony located on what he dubs Hummingbird Hill. He prefers to keep the actual location secret, for fear curious people will disturb the nests. Most people strolling in the park would be surprised to learn the nests are within easy reach, sometimes as low as chest level – but only if you know what to look for. They are hidden in plain sight, blending in with the fungus on the branches of trees. Pittman uses his hearing to zero in on the birds. A high-pitched peep tells him not only the location of the birds, but also what they’re up to. Whether feeding or fighting, each activity comes with a different sound. Filming and photographing is a labour of love for Pittman, who calls himself a citizen scientist. He pays the bills by selling windows currently, but he’s fuelled by observing hummingbirds. He hopes to make a documentary, but his footage is also proving useful to a
new scientific study looking into the breeding habits of the birds. “Eric is just unbelievable at finding nests – it’s crazy,” said Alison Moran, the volunteer co-ordinator of the Hummingbird Project, managed by the Rocky Point Bird Observatory. “When you have someone with that kind of skill set, there is the opportunity to look at what the nesting requirements are, how they’re doing it,” she said. “We’ve learned an awful lot just because we’re able to do the observational study, because we’ve got the guru there.” The Hummingbird Project was launched in 1997 and encompasses many studies of hummingbird populations in B.C. and Alberta. In February, the project turned its attention to the resident population of Anna’s hummingbirds in Esquimalt. Migrating hummingbirds, such as the Rufous, have declined significantly over the past 40 years, said Moran, who lives in Saanich. By contrast, the Anna’s populations on Vancouver Island have grown exponentially since they stopped migrating and put down permanent roots in the 1950s. “It’s like an atom bomb going off,” she said. Staying put means the birds don’t have to expend their energy on migration. Instead, they spend their energy having babies and building multiple nests each year. “Now, interestingly, there is an overlap between where the Rufous have been lost and where the Anna’s have expanded into,” Moran said. But, she warned, that doesn’t mean the Anna’s are to blame for the decline

of migrating species. They could simply be filling a gap created by other forces. The purpose of Moran’s study is to start to understand whether the relationship is causal, or simply correlational. While Rufous are very sensitive to urbanization, Anna’s are positively impacted by humans, she explained. “They actually try to breed around us,” she said. Pittman jokes they lay eggs like chickens. With his tripod, video camera and camera tucked in his arms, he scrambles up rocks and crouches through narrow deer paths. As he ducks and weaves, he points out several nests, some in use and some being pilfered by female birds to make their next nest. Most people who document hummingbird life cycles stop the day the fledgelings leave the nest, Pittman said. But he likes to track them until they are fully weaned. So much happens during this time, he said. Later that morning, he documents Hatter getting “a beatdown” by another hummingbird. Young ones often get tough love from their moms, too. She’ll pull on their feathers to throw them off balance and force them to fly, he explained. Mom is eager to encourage self-sufficiency in her young so she can stop feeding them and tend to her next batch of eggs.
Over the years, Pittman has climbed trees to get a better shot, returned fallen eggs to their nest, and even fed a starving baby whose mother was sick. He said he doesn’t feel paternalistic toward the hummingbirds, that his interest is merely the photographic challenge. But his care is hard to miss. “It’s always nice to see them fledge, because then I know they made it out okay.” rholmen@vicnews.com

The transformation of Craigflower Road in Esquimalt continues. Work on the next phase of the upgrade project will be tendered out early this month, leading to the installation of a sidewalk, new bus shelters and new pavement, as well as work on the storm water system. Craigflower Road, from Garth-
land Road to Arm Street, will be the focus of the project. The work will likely begin in July and take two to three months to complete, said Jeff Miller, Esquimalt’s director of engineering and public works. Funding for the third round of upgrades will be covered by funds left over from previous improvements.
Last June, the township celebrated the completion of a $5-million overhaul to the busy thoroughfare, from Admirals Road to Garthland Road. The installation of traffic-calming features, bike lanes and new sidewalks came in under budget, resulting in a $1-million surplus for the project. emccracken@vicnews.com

Radio system chips away at static CREST reception complaints diminished in recent months Edward Hill News staff
When a Victoria police officer radios for backup from Esquimalt, a five-second delay can feel like forever. Long delays through the regional emergency communications system are rare, but dead air remains enough of a problem in pockets of Esquimalt to demand a new transmission site in the township. Police and other users have immediate radio communication about 99.55 per cent of the time, according to Capital Region Emergency Service Telecommunications (CREST) data. A recent Planetworks consultant study indicated that overall, the system is working well, but call delays of more than five seconds have been experienced due to heavy congestion. “In Esquimalt there are areas where coverage isn’t as good as officers would like,” said Gord Horth, CREST general manger. “Officers need immediate access. If they don’t get that, the average queue is 1.2 seconds during busy times, but we have instances of three or
four seconds. In an emergency, counting one, two, three, four can be significant. At peak times you can get delays and we want to minimize those delays.” Victoria police Const. Mike Russell said the Planetworks report confirms the problems officers have been struggling with for years – radio interference and other technical hangups with the system. “There are still issues in Esquimalt and James Bay, but we are encouraged by the (Planetworks) report," he said. Complaints with CREST have ebbed since the days when police and firefighters opted to use cellphones in the face of dead zones and spotty radio coverage. CREST board chair Gordie Logan, a Colwood councillor, said the agency is continually trying to improve service in the downtown core, where tall buildings and deep parking garages can kill the signal. “When tall buildings go up, it distorts the signal, but you don’t know (the extent) until you do testing,” he said. “There are ongoing (CREST) infrastructure upgrades in the
downtown core. It won’t ever end.” Building a transmission site in Esquimalt and securing more frequencies for the system are top priorities for the agency this year. It also plans to upgrade transmission sites to improve reliability in James Bay, Saanich, Oak Bay and the West Shore. “We are still working with the Victoria police to identify and address specific areas,” Logan said. Another key task this year is convincing Industry Canada to release more radio frequencies for the system. Now serving 40 emergency agencies in the Capital Region, CREST is reaching its capacity for radio traffic, “has a limited ability to grow” and is justified in requesting five more transmission channels, Planetworks’ report said. At the same time, the CREST board is starting to look at next generation technology to replace the existing $10.6million system. Planetworks suggested a new system could be phased in as debt on the current system is paid out over the next three to five years. editor@saanichnews.com

Impaired driving charges abound Four drivers were taken off area streets after catching the attention of Victoria police Tuesday morning for various reasons. Each incident involved alcohol, police say. Police kicked off the night of vehicle impoundments and driving prohibitions just after 12:30 a.m. in the 300-block of Island Hwy., when a Saturn sedan was spotted driving erratically. The 26-year-old Victoria driver was handed a 24-hour prohibition for drunk driving and his car was impounded. Just before 2 a.m., a 28-year-old Oak Bay man was stopped on Douglas Street for driving his Saturn coupe without a front licence plate. He was slapped with a threeday ban for impaired driving, plus his car was towed. A few minutes later, a 21-year-old Esquimalt man was pulled over for speeding down Esquimalt Road. He was given a 24-hour prohibition for impaired driving and had his Honda hatchback towed away. Capping off the string of incidents, a 30-year-old Victoria man was stopped at
POLICE NEWS IN BRIEF 3:45 a.m. for driving erratically and going the wrong way down Fort Street. He was given a 24-hour driving ban and his Chevrolet sport utility vehicle was impounded.
Wanted man surrenders A man wanted for allegedly threatening to kill a pregnant
woman in early May and a police officer in January turned himself in at the Victoria Law Courts Monday. Victoria police issued a public advisory last week about Marc William Bauer, 39, after they say the Greater Victoria resident evaded police custody. A warrant for his arrest was issued May 15.
Investigators had expressed concern that Bauer was showing signs of escalating violent behaviour that, combined with a severe alcohol addiction, make him “unpredictable and violent,” police spokesperson Mike Tucker said. Bauer also faces charges related to uttering death threats to a Victoria police officer in January, a case that is now moving through the courts. emccracken@ vicnews.com

OUR VIEW
Veterans deserve more support We are troubled by news that Veterans Affairs Canada is downsizing its department, including the district office in Victoria, due to budget cuts. Unlike the days when much of its work dealt with the post-Second World War struggles and challenges faced by service personnel, Veterans Affairs today is seeing an influx of people whose experience came in such theatres as Bosnia, Rwanda, Afghanistan and various peacekeeping scenarios. For those engaged in combat roles, their experiences might be similar to those lived through by their military predecessors. Yet the understanding today of the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder and other psychological illnesses is greater than the Second World War, when struggling Canadian servicemen were pigeonholed as having “battle exhaustion.” In true military fashion, Veteran Affairs insists that none of its clients will be left behind as a result of the cuts to office personnel. The union representing the workers, voicing a predictable doom-and-gloom response, argues that veterans will begin to fall through the cracks due to projected increases in already too-large caseloads for staff and the added time it will take to process client requests. As in all labour-employer disputes, the truth probably lies somewhere in between. But the telling point in this conversation comes from the Royal Canadian Legion, which, for years, has done its best, given its limited resources, to fill the void in veteran support left by the federal government. They expect the next four or five years to produce more diagnosed cases of posttraumatic stress disorder than ever, a scenario which, if not addressed, could have devastating effects not only on the individuals, but their families. In a time of belt-tightening, the federal government needs to make cuts. But no matter how it is sugar-coated by Veterans Affairs, the decision to downsize the department’s front-line operations not only sets a dangerous precedent, it’s a slap in the face to individuals who have willingly and bravely served their country.

I have written many stories on
bullying and talked about the issue with kids, parents, teachers and police officers. Regardless of all the work people are doing, the problem is still here. Bullying is nothing new, but that doesn’t make it OK or some kind of rite of passage. There are kids killing themselves over things just like this. It has been a long time since I have been bullied. Probably since I was in middle school. I hope those teens look back on that evening a few years from now and realize it’s too late to apologize to the stranger they mocked.

Would you be embarrassed to know a column was published about how disrespectful they were? The whole situation is rather embarrassing for me, too. Before writing this, I never told anyone about my evening. I was trying to forget it ever happened. Maybe this is why bullying isn’t reported to school officials or the RCMP. If, at age 30, I am too embarrassed to talk about it, how can we ever expect a child to? Which is why I am writing this. I shouldn’t be embarrassed because of someone else’s poor choices.

LETTERS Slow drivers present greatest hazard Re: Keep pressuring high-risk drivers (Our View, May 18) The content of your editorial is common and clearly onesided. While I agree that the police should intervene when drivers are clearly breaking the law, I believe the main issue is drivers who travel in the left lane on a four-lane road at about the same speed as those in the right lane. There are some signs that state, “Slower traffic keep right.” In my view, “slow” does not necessarily mean someone going below the posted speed limit. Instead, I consider those slow drivers to be the ones
who impede the left-lane traffic because they want to exercise their “right” to be in that lane. These are the self-appointed traffic enforcers. About 25 years ago when I was living in Alberta, we had the same kind of risky drivers as we see in B.C. today. There were also signs suggesting that slower traffic stay to the right lane, but that was rarely obeyed or enforced. Then the light came on with the powers that be. They increased the number and visibility of the signs, even highlighted them with bright green rays. It took two to four
years, but the drivers finally got it and it was uncommon to find Albertans playing traffic enforcers in the passing lane. Travelling on the highways became safer and much more pleasant. It appears that all it took was an attitude adjustment and drivers left it up to the police to enforce the speeders in the left lane. I have little doubt that a similar change in attitude for B.C. drivers would greatly reduce the risky manoeuvres of aggressive drivers. Leave it to the police, people. R. Chong North Saanich

Politicians, executives should respect austerity Being long retired, I come from the generation where wages were poor, benefits almost unknown, severance packages for the working person unheard of. Today’s public servants largely have no experience of those dreadful days. A recent political cartoon illustrating the “Taxpayer Bank of B.C.” showed B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union members dressed in robber’s garb charging in, while MLAs exited with rich salary and pensions. I also recently read about Oak Bay, where a burst water main was allowed to gush for an entire weekend, as it was cheaper than calling out workers at “double overtime.” Having been a government employee, private business person and elected municipal councillor for a period of nine years, I am genuinely fearful for the future. No one wants increases in taxation, but how else to meet demands? I do not advocate a return to those earlier days when workers’ treatment was grossly unfair, so let us start with cuts at the MLAs’ pension trough, executive compensation and bonuses. Overall, I suspect if effective attention were to be paid to these contentious and unfairly
overgenerous situations, then workers might not be so demanding. Bluntly, we are very fortunate to live in Canada. Let us not kill the already struggling golden goose through base greed and stupidity. Stephen Lamb Victoria
Site C dam process passes enviro muster As the Site C dam project inches toward the intense scrutiny of the environmental assessment process, it’s worth reflecting on the differences between an energy project today and one built in decades past, such as the Bennett Dam. When the Bennett Dam was built in the 1960s in the Peace River country of northeastern B.C., the construction crew simply showed up with their tools and started working. Not so today. B.C. Hydro estimates it will spend $300 million on the Site C dam environmental review process,
including scores of studies of animal and fish populations, along with extensive archaeological, historical and other studies. None of these considerations figured in any significant way when the Bennett Dam was built. Site C provides us with a rare opportunity to build upon the past in an environmentally sensitive way and to make the most of the water already stored behind the Bennett Dam, by using it to generate clean hydro power a second time on its way downstream. The persuasive efficiency of Site C, and the unparalleled environmental scrutiny it has already undergone, bode well for the project. That’s why, once any potential impacts have been addressed or mitigated, I’m cautiously optimistic Site C will pass through the formal assessment process with flying colours. Jesse McClinton Saanich

Vic High grads look forward, back Continued from Page A1
“The last six to eight months have showed how rewarding it can be to see things through and watch (your efforts) produce.” Being a leader comes in many forms, Spriggs says. “You don’t have to take a leadership role to help out,” he says, noting that the gradrelated events needed many hands. “Somebody obviously has to do it, (but) it kind of depends on how much initiative you have. You can still absolutely be involved without having all the pressure.” Reflecting on their school lives was part of working on their speech, Spriggs says. “Me and Jessica were joking about how everyone kind of went through the dark middleschool years,” he says. “So much change has happened. I’m just thinking back to how I was even a couple years ago – it’s hard to explain, it’s such a different feel. Even just this year, being in Grade 12, it really kind of does something to you, you’re right at the top and you’re like
a role model, and that kind of motivated me to get involved in things.” For Vic High newcomers – or those entering their senior years – looking to make the most of their time at school, both of these young leaders encourage students to try new activities and courses.
“Me and Jessica were joking about how everyone kind of went through the dark middle-school years.” – Vic High grad and co-valedictorian Noah Spriggs For Spriggs it was dance, rugby and theatre – he just finished a five-show run of A Chorus Line, this year’s spring musical – in addition to his heavy academic course load. Outside of school he’s involved in gymnastics, both as an athlete and a coach, and is on the Victoria Youth Council. Dillon, who works every day after school, was also in dance and found herself taking an automotive class this year after

buying her first car. “I really enjoyed it,” she says. “I wish I would have taken it earlier.” Spriggs plans to attend the University of Victoria in the fall for health information technology and computer science. While he envisions one day building a career in another city, for now he’s glad to be staying put. “I love Victoria. I’m so happy to stay here, and so many of my friends are staying here. To have the solid group I have will really help me next year.” While she’ll be busy at Camosun College this fall in the social work program, Dillon says she’s going to miss the welcoming, comfortable atmosphere of Vic High. That scenario contributed to many students transferring there from other schools in the Greater Victoria district, she says. Some of them will be among the 194 students taking part in grad ceremonies next Tuesday at UVic. Final exams loom after that, but as Dillon says, June will slide by, especially for students saying goodbye to their gradeschool days. editor@vicnews.com
Honouring Japanese Canadians ■ Five Japanese-Canadian students who missed their 1942 graduation due to the Canadian government’s internment program during the Second World War will be honoured Tuesday (June 5) during the Vic High grad ceremony at the University of Victoria. Among those recognized will be 88-year-old Yoshio “Yon” Shimizu of Wallaceburg, Ont., who cannot attend due to poor health. His diploma and a letter from Education Minister George Abbott will be presented to Tom Halbert, a friend and classmate of Shimizu. The ceremony begins at 7 p.m. in the Farquhar Auditorium.

Long-term effect on vets a concern sacrificed for their country. That mandate is all going out the window and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all becoming a numbers game.â&#x20AC;? The governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans to create efficiencies will actually ramp up delays, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My gosh, (some older veterans) could die before they actually get services they put in for in the first place.â&#x20AC;? A spokesperson for Veterans Affairs Canada said the restructuring process will not reduce services to veterans. Rather, it will eliminate unnecessary red tape to provide â&#x20AC;&#x153;better and fasterâ&#x20AC;? service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will continue to meet or exceed our service standard of one case manager for every 40 case-managed veterans,â&#x20AC;? the spokesperson said. The department expects to manage its restructuring through attrition, since approximately 1,000 workers will be eligible for retirement between now and 2016. But Coles said only about 50 per cent of those people will be willing or able to retire. The full impact on specific staff positions has not yet been
Continued from Page A1
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to see the full impact of the Afghanistan veterans for another four or five years,â&#x20AC;? Sinclair said, adding it takes time for the disorder to manifest itself. Across Canada, 75 agent positions are being cut. Employees will likely start receiving their surplus notices this fall, said Kim Coles, national executive vice-president of the Union of Veterans Affairs Employees, representing 2,700 members, plus 500 hospital staff. The union is already reeling from previously announced plans to terminate 552 jobs from the department over the next three years. In the wake of the federal budget in March, Veterans Affairs now plans to eliminate a total of 804 positions by 2015-16. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How are they going to maintain the service to veterans with that? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care how much stuff you say can be done on the computer,â&#x20AC;? Coles said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not processing passports here. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dealing with peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives, people that have

From landscapes to roof tops and back again Edward Hill News staff
If the perfect landscape presents itself, painter Christine Reimer isn’t shy about screeching her car to a halt on the side of the highway to capture the moment. Nobody said art was safe. The veteran Saanich artist, known for blending realism and whimsy in dramatic landscape pieces, is marking 30 years of painting with a show at The Arts Centre at Cedar Hill, starting Sunday. It’s her first show in Greater Victoria since 2010 and features a mix of landscapes and abstract florals, perhaps 25 to 30 pieces generated in the past few years. The landscapes will be familiar to anyone who has travelled across the Island and the province – Rocky mountains and verdant meadows, wilderness lakes amid Douglas fir forests, Gulf Island arbutus trees stretching over water. “I grew up on the coast, I have a bond with the coastal landscape,” Reimer said. “Being an Islander, it’s in my blood.” She admits the abstract florals were a deviation from the hunt for landscapes – a kind of creative

Artist Christine Reimer in her studio with some of the paintings she’ll be exhibiting at The Arts Centre at Cedar Hill. rejuvenation necessary every few years. “I get bored doing the same thing. What I’ve done over 30 years is take detours,” Reimer said. “I had a figurative period of painting quirky people in dreamlike settings. I do that for a while, and then landscapes become fresh again. “I do find it hard to limit myself to one thing – there are so many vibrant colours. I can’t help myself.
I’m obsessed with colour, I always have been.” Reimer has been an artist since she can remember, drawing at a young age and watching her talent emerge as a teenager. She credits art teachers Bill West and Carole Sabiston at Oak Bay High and then University of Victoria instructor and influential Canadian artist James Gordaneer as influencing and guiding her style and development.
Your opinion matters. That’s why we’d like to hear from you before proposing any changes.
Working through different mediums while earning her BFA at UVic, it was her great-uncle and noted painter Max Maynard (a contemporary of Emily Carr and Jack Shadbolt in the 1930s and ‘40s) who steered her toward landscape images. “I was so inspired by the way he did landscapes,” Reimer said. “I thought I would give it a shot.” It was a good decision. Now a professional working artist for 25 years, Reimer’s work decorates corporate offices, high-end hotels, restaurants, and galleries across B.C. “Between kids and painting, I’ve worked full time,” she said. “And my husband has been extremely supportive.” Reimer said she’s fortunate to make a living as an artist, but noted her “long-suffering” husband must tolerate intensive photography during trips – she took a thousand photos in Banff and Jasper last fall – and the occasional demand to pull over on the highway, often so she can scramble up a cliff to grab a shot. Her photography is the groundwork for her art. “My photos allow me to recall the place with better detail. If I use other photos of places I haven’t
been, you can’t evoke the place truly.” She admits that the last few years have been tough personally and professionally. The economic downturn across North America has squeezed budgets for commissioned art pieces and private sales. But she still keeps up a work schedule of painting about five days a week, usually in intensive three-hour bursts of acrylic on canvas. “It’s been really tough at times. The last few years. It’s been very difficult for all artists. Art is a luxury item for people.” Her work will be on display for two weeks in June, but Reimer is mulling her next set of work after recently returning from England – the roofscape and old-world architecture of London. “It’s something that’s tweaked my interest until I detour back to landscapes,” she said. Reimer’s Peaks, Islands and Beyond – 30 years of Colour solo exhibit runs from June 3 to 17 at The Arts Centre at Cedar Hill, 3220 Cedar Hill Rd.

Antarctica beguiles “I stand by as a freeway of penguins travels to and from the breaking waves in lane after lane of determination. It’s like being up against the wall at Grand Central Station at rush hour and the flow of birds is fascinating.” - From Victoria poet Jay Ruzesky’s blog
Victoria poet returns from pilgrimage to family explorer’s landing spot Vivian Moreau Contributor
His voice softens when Victoria poet Jay Ruzesky talks about the time he spent in Antarctica this winter. The trip was the realization of a lifelong dream to see the place where Ruzesky’s maternal great-grandfather’s first cousin, Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen, had discovered the south pole in December 1911. Normally never one at a loss for words Ruzesky pauses trying to describe the allure of the place that even in summer is 98 per cent covered in ice. “It feels immediately like you’ve entered a place unlike any other in the world, the only other place would be like going to space or to the moon because it is so devoid of us and continues to be. There’s no planes flying overhead, no telephone wires, no distant sounds of motors.” And even though travelling on a tourist ship there were still
beaches where you could land and be the first human to do so, he said. Fifteen years ago Ruzesky wrote but set aside a novel about Amundsen’s south pole adventure. He is best known for his 2001 poetry collection, Blue Himalayan Poppies and novel, The Wolsenburg Clock, which was nominated for the City of Vicoria Butler Book Prize. On leave now from teaching duties at Vancouver Island University he is starting in on another manuscript, a non-fiction account blending his visit with Amundsen’s. Ruzesky travelled with his brother from Chile to the Antarctic peninsula on a 235foot refitted research ship that was home for 10 days in December last year, 100 years after Amundsen travelled there. With guides the duo kayaked and watched tens of thousands of gentoo and chinstrap penguins as well as leopard and Weddell seals. They saw icebergs calve and learned the difference between bergs and floes. “It was a pilgrimage in the real old sense of the word,” Ruzesky said, “to this place that had been in my imagination since I was a little kid. It had a mythical status. It was
Don Denton/News staff
Author Jay Ruzesky, who is writing a book about his trip to Antarctica. where heroes came from.” From his first sighting aboard the ship, Ruzesky said he had the strange sense of being home. “Yet it was weird to feel at home in a place so inhospitable to human beings.” About 1,000 scientists live at research stations in Antarctica, which is about 14 million kilometres squared and 28 million in the winter when sea ice doubles the continent’s size. About 25,000 tourists visit each year.
Although Antarctica is usually thought of as blue and white, it really has about 10,000 shades of blue, he said. Constantly changing light alters the colour and texture of whatever you are gazing at. When his guide heard Ruzesky was keen to see any spot where Amundsen might have been he took the brothers in a zodiak to see the peaks on Two Hummock Island where Amundsen went skiing more than 100 years ago – “the first tourist,” Ruzesky said. Picking their way through a colony of penguins Ruzesky was at first disappointed at clouds covering the peaks. But then, as he recorded in a blog, the weather shifted. “It stops snowing and the clouds lift so fast it’s as though someone just removed a tarp from the sky. The clouds simply disappear and are replaced by deep blue sky and bright sun.” He spent the next hour feverishly taking as many shots as he could, before clouds moved in again. Although not a religious man, Ruzesky said that day was a profound experience. I have kayaked through castellated icebergs, I have communed with penguins, I have caressed thousands-year-old ice and allowed the heat of my fingers to melt it. In Antarctica you have to come to terms with immensity. To learn more about Ruzesky’s trip go to http://jayruzesky.blogspot.ca/ editor@oakbaynews.com

“Ethan is part of a special group of younger Mount Doug runners.” – Rams coach Al Niezen
Sharon Tiffin/News staff
Mount Douglas secondary runners Ethan and Thomas Getty are competing at the track and field provincials in Burnaby this weekend. The elder Thomas is a medal hopeful in the senior category 1,500m and 3,000m, while Ethan is a triple threat at the bantam level (Grade 9) in the 400m, 200m and 100m sprints.
Getty up Brothers lead Rams to track and field B.C.s Travis Paterson News staff
M
ount Douglas Rams track team brothers Thomas and Ethan Getty are separated by two years in age, and 1,100 metres on the track. Seventeen-year-old Thomas is in Grade 11 and specializes in middle distance running, his shortest event being the 1,500m. Fifteen-year-old Ethan is in Grade 9, but his focus is on the sprinting distances, the longest being 400m. “We’re pretty competitive in everything else (non-running) we do,” said Thomas. “Though I guess Ethan would be the better lacrosse player, since he’s still playing and I no longer do.” Both have qualified for the high school track and field provincials at Burnaby’s Swanguard Stadium on Saturday and Sunday (June 1 and 2), having helped the
Mount Doug Rams to second place at the Island championship, behind powerhouse Oak Bay High. Thomas finished second in the 1,500m and first in the 3,000m at the Island track championship. And though Ethan was equally adept in the bantam-age (Grade 9) Island championship, he might want to consider competing in a longer race, as on paper, his results improved as each distance grew. Ethan finished fourth in the 100m, second in the 200m and first in the 400m. Track wasn’t the house sport growing up, say the brothers, but has become it. Ethan plays Saanich Tigers lacrosse, and Thomas did, while younger brother Graeme, 12, competed in running at Arbutus middle school (before the season was cancelled). Dad did some running as a youth, Thomas said, but for the boys running just came naturally. “Back in elementary we’d lap the school field,” Thomas said. “I did well but didn’t win every race. But I found liked the strategic aspect of the longer distances.”
Ethan, however, prefers to the short courses. “I just seemed to like sprinting.” There’s no ceiling to what the brothers can accomplish, as both transfer well to dirt paths of cross country during the fall running season. Thomas has a year remaining before competing at the university level to Ethan’s three, should he go that route. “Ethan is part of a special group of younger Mount Doug runners coming up,” Rams coach Al Niezen said. “We’ve got 20 kids going to provincials and half are Grade 9s.” For Thomas, the biggest challenge this weekend is could come from his elite high school track teammates Liam Kennel of Oak Bay High and Ben Weir of Glenlyon Norfolk School. Weir was injured for the Island finals but finished second behind Thomas in the 1,500m and 3,000m of the Lower Island. Kennel is only 16, but is a threat at the senior level as part of the Oak Bay track team looking to continue its domination of the combined girls and boys team title. Brendan Restall leads the Bays team, which is deep in talent once again. If all goes well, Restall will win the 400m again before graduating to the UVic Vikes next year, Mount Doug has its top shooters as well, with Katelyn Hayward a lock to win the 3,000m one more time before she graduates. Hayward will most likely forego the 1,500m steeplechase, the very event she set the B.C. record in last year, to nurse Katelyn Hayward a leg injury she sustained during the high school cross country season.
In the field No Island school has been able to match the crew of throwers coming out of Lambrick Park in recent years. This year Lambrick’s Mason Kereszti is hoping for three medals. The defending B.C. javelin champ was first in the discus and javelin and second in the shotput at the Islands. sports@vicnews.com

Rowers prep for London Travis Paterson News staff
Victoria-trained rowers Scott Frandsen and David Calder are silver medalists once again. The Beijing runners-up in the men’s pair duplicated their famous effort from the 2008 Olympics and brought home one of three medals earned by Canada from last week’s 2012 World Cup in Switzerland. “Our training and hard work has proved that you can teach an old dog new tricks,” Calder said. Picked to compete Our training in one of seven boats at this year’s London and hard work Olympics, the duo of has proved that Calder and Frandsen lost only to New Zea- you can teach land, which was the an old dog new favourite going in to tricks.” the world cup. – Dave Calder “We’ve got the countdown to London in our heads right now.” One of the biggest surprises was Canada’s men’s eight slipping to bronze in Sunday’s final, despite setting the world’s best time in the heat on Friday. Coxswain Brian Price and rower Malcom Howard of Victoria return to lead the goldmedal winning boat from Beijing, with Ontario rowers Will Crothers, Jeremiah Brown, Andrew Byrnes, Conlin McCabe, Rob Gibson and Doug Csima, plus Gabe Bergen from 100 Mile House. The lightweight women’s double of Tracy Cameron and Lindsay Jennerich finished second in the B final, the equivalent to eighth overall. Canada’s women’s eight lost gold in a photo finish to U.S.A. Our southern neighbours squeaked out a gold-medal victory over Canada by .03 of a second. The rowers return to Canada this week though the women’s eight will continue to train and compete in Europe. sports@vicnews.com

Cricket league seeks young blood Saturday studies with bats and bowls Travis Paterson News staff
Sharon Tiffin/News staff
Speedy square The men’s (pictured from 2011 above) and women’s elite race of the Bastion Square Grand Prix goes Sunday morning, part of the Robert Cameron Law Cycling series this weekend, which includes the time trials at Clover Point tonight and B.C. road championship in Metchosin on Saturday.
The city’s top cricketers aren’t from here, they moved here. And maybe it will always be that way. But it’s not stopping John Wenman and company from the Victoria and District Cricket Association from believing the Lower Island can once again rise to a competitive level equal or better than the B.C. Mainland Cricket League. “It was about 20 to 25 year ago that our clubs could rival the Mainland,” Wenman said.
The difference is that many of the better cricket players have immigrated to B.C., and there are plenty more ex-pat players in the Vancouver area than in Victoria. Still, Wenman finds it odd the top teams are not better, because Greater Victoria has more cricket teams than ever. Which is where Wenman comes in. Now 69, the retired teacher from Stelly’s secondary learned the game here, where he was born and raised. His former team, the University School Incogs, is celebrating its 100th season this year. Wenman long ago shifted to recruiting and teaching, and is behind the league’s Saturday morning cricket school at St. Michaels University School. The program begins on June 2, for kids aged
eight to 14, and runs until the last Saturday in August. Seminars last two hours and range from cricket introduction for newbies to development for return players. Younger students use softer equipment until they’re a little older, or have got the hang of the game. By 14, some players are ready to join the Colts, a designated youth team playing in the less competitive mid-week league. “Through the summer program we’ve put through quite a few players to the Colts, and have seen players move from the Colts into the more competitive weekend league,” Wenman said. To register contact Wenman at 250598-5477, or jawenman@telus.net. sports@vicnews.com
Spartans enshrine sporting history It’s been 50 years since Claremont secondary school opened its doors to Saanich. And from those doors has emerged a seemingly non-stop stream of athletes ranging from city champions to Olympians. As part of its 50th anniversary on Saturday (June 2) Claremont is revealing the Wall of Fame in the main hallway and gym. The school is inducting 27 athletes, who played a range of sports from major league pitcher Rich Harden and national team soccer player Wanda Rozwadowska, to Ironman triathlete turned paralympic rower Tony Theriault and track star Debbie Scott. The youngest is diver Riley McCormick, 20, who is set for his second Olympics this summer. Claremont’s also putting rugby’s Peter Simmonds and Ed Kubek in for coaching excellence, and Joe Lott and

Hope House on the move The Salvation Army is on the hunt for a new location for its Beacon of Hope House. “We’ve looked at a lot of locations, but nothing has been secured, nothing has been signed yet,” said Kyla Ferns, Salvation Army spokesperson. The six-bed, 90-day residential recovery facility for male youth opened in 2007 – the first of its kind for the organization in Canada. It provides counselling, life-skills training, addiction education, recreational outings and job-hunt support. Its aim is to break the cycle of homelessness and addiction for youth in the community. Currently, there are three boys living in the house, though a fourth will be moving in soon, after completing detox. He will replace a recent graduate from the program, housed in the former rectory of St. Saviour’s Anglican Church in Vic West. The Anglican Diocese of B.C. sold the property, including
chapel, hall and rectory, to a private family in February. The Salvation Army’s lease for the rectory runs out in five months.
The new facility must have six bedrooms and space for two offices. “We fully anticipate having a new location
and all the proper licensing in time for us to move into it by the end of October,” Ferns said. rholmen@vicnews.com

From father to son: ‘Heirloom’ Ford Fairlane stays in the family It took nearly 50 years, but John Kerluke finally got the keys to his dad’s convertible. His father, Stan Kerluke, was a 27-yearold transplant from a grain farm outside ALYN EDWARDS Rhein, Saskatchewan CLASSIC when he spotted the RIDES yellow Ford convertible in the showroom of Dominion Vancouver Motors on Seymour Street. He had come to Vancouver in 1954 to drive a fuel oil truck for his brother Mike, and had been driving a 1951 Chevrolet torpedo back two-door sedan purchased at Collier’s Motors on nearby Georgia Street two years before. But he really wanted a convertible and the 1951 Ford his father had back on the farm was yellow. The yellow 1958 Ford Fairlane 500 Sunliner convertible would be his with the signing of a cheque for $3,000 plus the $1,200 allowance for the Chevy. “My brother tried to talk me out of buying the car saying: Why do you want a convertible? It rains too much in Vancouver,” he recalls of that day. It was the summer of 1958 and this Sun Gold Ford Sunliner was one special car.
Stan Kerluke hands the keys to his 1958 Ford Fairlane convertible to son John, who was brought home from the hospital in the car.
He loved it so much he would seldom drive it. “In those days, we took the truck home so I would only drive the car on the weekends. In the winter, we worked seven days a week delivering furnace

oil to homes so I wouldn’t use the car at all,” Stan Kerluke says. BC Oil Distributors was located at Main Street and 30th Avenue in South Vancouver, directly across the street from Clarkdale Volkswagen. Every morning, as Stan Kerluke pulled out with a load of furnace oil, he would wave at a pretty young lady who worked at the dealership with her desk just inside the front window. Their first date was in the yellow Ford convertible which was then four years old. “I thought, what a cool car,” Patricia Kerluke says. They used the convertible as their wedding car in August 1962 at a church on Renfrew Street in East Vancouver. The reception was held at the Gai Paree supper club on Kingsway in Burnaby. Son John was born one year later and was brought home from the hospital in the Ford Sunliner. Continued on Pg. B3

Living Well, Driving Well with BCAA workshop
The wide mouth bumper grille made this Ford Fairlane 500 Sunliner a standout in 1958. There is just 53,764 miles (86,500 km) showing on the Ford Sunliner’s odometer. The car has traveled less than 1,000 miles (1,600 km) a year.
Continued from Pg. B1
While Pat Kerluke drove a VW beetle, Stan bought a series of new cars so the convertible could remain garaged at their home on Prince Edward Street and 55th Avenue. The family briefly owned a new 1976 Ford Pinto. But safety concerns and a growing family with two sons and a daughter necessitated a larger car, which was a new red 1975 Ford LTD station wagon with all the options. The station wagon has travelled just 55,000 miles and is currently stored away in the garage at the family home in Langley. The 1958 Ford Sunliner has just 86,500 kilometers (53,764 miles) traveling less than 1,600 kilometers (1,000 miles) a year. Like new, it has the original upholstery and even the original convertible top. “I didn’t put the top down very much and the car has always been stored indoors,” Stan says. He’s always known his son John was a car guy just like him. “John has loved cars all his life,” Stan says. “From a little boy, he loved to ride in the convertible.” As the family opened presents together last Christmas, there was something special for John. Pat Kerluke had a T-shirt made
with a photograph of the 1958 Ford which was one present for her son. The opening of another present revealed the owner’s manual for the 1958 Ford convertible. The final present was the keys to his father’s yellow Ford convertible along with registration and transfer papers. “It’s really all I think about now,” John Kerluke says with emotion. “I am really the envy of all my car friends because they knew some day I would get this wonderful car.” John, who followed in his father’s footsteps to become a long-distance trucker, has owned other collector cars, including a vintage 1970 Mustang Mach 1. But his father’s convertible is the ultimate keeper. “I will never sell this car. It’s a timepiece and an heirloom and there is no amount of money that someone could pay me for this.” He plans to take the yellow convertible to car shows this year with great pride. “No one has really seen this car,” he says. “It’s always been stored away in the garage.”
Join BCAA in Millstream on Wednesday, June 6 for an afternoon workshop exploring the tips and techniques for older drivers. Living Well, Driving Well will run from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the BCAA Millstream Sales Centre, #169 - 2401C Millstream Rd. Led by workshop facilitator Peter Gray, participants will look at some of the issues facing drivers as they age, and some of the many ways they can keep driving well for years to come. While everyone ages differently, there are common issues most older drivers face
