Victoria ramps up aid for Philippines Don Descoteau News staff

Anyone dropping by the Bayanihan Community Centre on Blanshard Street on a Tuesday would usually find a locked door. Not today. The cultural home of the Victoria Filipino Canadian Association is working in overdrive to accept donations for disaster relief in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan, which has left tens of thousands of residents in the Philippines homeless and at least 2,000 dead. Orlando Tuapin, a native Filipino and a congregation member at Central Baptist Church, is at the centre to find out how his church can help raise funds. “I know my family is safe,” he said, having spoke to his mother who lives on the northern island of Luzon, earlier in the day. He teared up as he described seeing news reports showing the devastation in areas of the archipelago. “People are scattered like chickens over the ground. You feel helpless. We’re all humans.” Adding to the misery of residents, he said, an area of central Philippines was just picking itself up after a magnitude 7.2 earthquake rocked the region. “They probably think it’s the end of the world.” Please see: Residents, Page A10

Beth Grayer builds a toolbox for her women in trades discovery program at Camosun College Interurban, where students sample a number of trades. The province recently announced funding to boost the number of seats at Camosun that allow students to experience trades training without having to secure an apprenticeship.

Easing entry into trades training Pre-apprenticeship programs help trades students find their niche Edward Hill News staff

In Camosun College’s sheet metal workshop, students hammer and contort metal for HVAC systems and toolboxes. Whether they stick with this trade remains to be seen, but the college and the province are trying to make entry into trades education as easy and enticing as possible. The Ministry of Advanced Education

announced recently that it is granting Camosun $349,000 for 68 seats in carpentry and electrical foundation programs, introductory trades training without the onerous requirement of securing an apprenticeship. That ministry funding also opens 32 seats in the discovery skills program, a pilot project where students dip their toes in a number of trades at the Interurban campus. “What is intended here is to provide the opportunity to have a more informed entry into trades,” said Olaf Nielsen, chair of trades development and special projects at Camosun. “This helps make a more informed career decision.” Ministry of Advanced Education-funded seats adds to the 336 funded by the Industry

Training Authority at Camosun for foundation programs. The ITA focuses mainly on apprenticeships, and funded 1,812 of those seats at the college this year. Nielsen said foundation programs help expose more people to less well known but still highly employable trades. “A lot of individuals don’t have a good picture of the pathways into trades. A lot gravitate towards traditional trades,” he said. “We see some undersubscribed programs where there’s not a lot of awareness, like pipe trades, for example. A lot of students don’t know about being a steamfitter or gas fitter.” Please see: Apprenticeships, Page A6 REDUCED TO $224,900

Saanich police seek clues on possible improvised bomb Saanich police are seeking DNA and fingerprints on the remains of what appeared to be a bomb left near Hyacinth Park and Marigold Road. Described as two plastic bottles taped together with a liquid inside and stringed with a wick, a passerby alerted police to the object Saturday night. At the request of Saanich police’s bomb expert, the RCMP explosive disposal unit based on the Mainland hopped the last ferry to Nanaimo and brought over a water cannon. The apparent improvised explosive device was blasted apart around 3 a.m. Sunday. Forensics officers are determining whether the device could have detonated, but Sgt. Steve Eassie said police assumed it was dangerous and cordoned off the area. The apparent IED was found on the edge of Hyacinth Park and Marigold Road, and near a creek culvert. Eassie said police aren’t yet sure what the type of liquid was in the bottles. “It had the characteristics of an explosive device,” Eassie said. “It’s possible based on its location it could have been there for some time, even since Halloween.” Anyone with information can call Saanich police at 250-475-4321 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). editor@saanichnews.com

Victoria sees rash of bicycle thefts The Victoria Police Department is issuing a public warning after more than 90 bicycles were reported stolen in the past two months alone. An average of two bikes per day have been stolen mostly from secured storage lockers in underground parking areas throughout Victoria and Esquimalt, said VicPD Const. Mike Russell. Visit VicPD’s Pinterest page for photos of the stolen bicycles.

Ukrainian community marks anniversary of forced famine ‘Holodomor’ saw millions killed in Stalinist genocide Daniel Palmer News staff

Once a month, hundreds of handmade perogies are expertly stuffed and folded by volunteers in the basement of St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Church. In Victoria’s Ukrainian community, it’s not hard to find help when needed, especially when it comes to food. “Food is part of our culture,” says Laura Walsh before switching to Russian and Ukrainian while exchanging pleasantries with older volunteers. November marks a sombre month for Ukrainians, who for the past 80 years have been commemorating one of the darkest events in their history: Holodomor. In 1932, Soviet troops swept through

much of Central and Eastern Ukraine to seize stockpiles of food and control an independence uprising. While estimates vary, five million to 10 million people died from starvation and related sicknesses by the following summer. “I couldn’t speak about it, I wasn’t allowed,” said Nadiya Kravchenko, who still bears the emotional scars from her previous life where public criticism of the Soviet regime meant certain jail time. She moved to Victoria six years ago to be closer to her adult son, who like many younger Ukrainians know little about Holodomor (“Death by hunger” in Ukrainian). “It was a manmade famine, it wasn’t war,” said Katharina Iwasyk, whose family immigrated to Canada in 1950. Iwasyk, 82, still remembers the taste of spoiled sauerkraut masked with sugar as a two-year-old girl. It was the only food her mother could salvage in the winter of 1932. “I try not to think about it,” she said. The Ukrainian government formally rec-

ognized Holodomor as genocide in 2006. And while many of the 1.2 million UkrainianCanadians hold quiet annual ceremonies to commemorate the event, the local community wants to raise its public profile during Holodomor’s 80th anniversary. The University of Victoria hosts a Holodomor workshop today (Nov. 15) at 1:30 in the MacLaurin Building, Room D110. On Nov. 16, at 1 p.m., visit the Ukrainian Cultural Centre for a Holodomor awarness day and a one-man play, Holodomor: Murder by Starvation, by Father Edward Evanko, a former Broadway performer. A commemorative ceremony also takes place Nov. 23, 11 a.m. at Cadboro Bay United Church. “It’s an event about which so little is known, and people have no appreciation for a major tragedy that is largely forgotten or hidden,” said organizer Robert Herchak, who oversees fundraising and food production at the church. “We’d like to change that,” Walsh said.

Snow Clearing In the even of a snowfall, property owners and residents are reminded that District of Saanich Streets and Traffic Regulation Bylaw (No. 8382) requires you to clear snow and ice from the sidewalks abutting your property and to ensure that a clear and safe access route to refuse containers is maintained.

We’ve seen cheap knock-offs. We’ve seen expensive knock-offs. But for quality and wear, nothing steps up like the original, timetested Blundstone boot. Pull on comfort since 1870. That’s the deal.

Please remember to offer assistance to any of your neighbours who may require help with snow removal. The District of Saanich will make every effort to keep major/collector streets and emergency/ transit routes cleared and open to traffic. The cooperation of all property owners and residents in this matter is greatly appreciated. David Sparanese Manager, Street Operations Public Works Division

Don’t ignore latest disaster T

yphoon Haiyan swept through the Philippines last weekend, flattening towns and a city in its wake, leaving desperate refugees seeking shelter, medical aid, food and water. Canadians of Filipino descent and Canadians in general have responded with an outpouring of cash and supplies. The federal government has promised to match donations given to registered charities, and has mobilized disaster response teams to assess conditions on the ground in the Philippines. Images emerging from cities like Tacloban, a once thriving economic hub, shows a wasteland of rubble and splintered wood, reminiscent of the aftermath of the Japanese tsunami of March 2011, the Haiti earthquake of January 2010, and the Indian Ocean tsunami of December 2004. Each of these disasters has been met with the outpouring of aid and good intentions, but getting help to refugees in a timely manner and without wholesale looting and graft remains a challenge. Even now with the international community hopefully better versed at delivering aid to large-scale disaster areas, reports coming out of the Philippines suggests relief efforts are being paralyzed due to shattered transportation links and little available fuel. Donations are piling up and resources like field hospitals are waiting to deploy. Relief organizations are in a tough position, both on the ground and in terms of avoiding donor fatigue. The magnitude of devastation in the Philippines is immense, but as Canada and Greater Victoria enter the Christmas season, many worthwhile charities are seeking your dollars. Church-based and social welfare groups are ramping up campaigns for Christmas food hampers, presents for underprivileged kids, and dinners and clothing for homeless people. The Victoria Hospitals Foundation is seeking millions for much needed medical equipment. With the disaster in the Philippines, local families are being asked once again to find a few more dollars to what is undoubtedly a worthwhile humanitarian cause. Pressures to donate are real and can stretch the budget of any family, especially around December. But in times of crisis, be it here or half a world away, it pays to be compassionate and giving. It’s important to remember that thousands of Filipino people have made Victoria and the Lower Mainland their home, and are an integral part of the greater community. Their plight is our plight.

Shaking head over traffic light priority Saanich municipality’s priorities for installing traffic lights at intersections are difficult to comprehend. The District is installing lights at Viewmont and West Saanich roads. As one who drives West Saanich Road frequently, I rarely see more than two vehicles waiting to cross or enter West Saanich. One does not know whether to laugh or cry when this intersection is given priority over others. Residents of Mann Avenue and its feeder streets have been asking for years for lights at Mann and Glanford Avenue. At times, there are up to 10 vehicles trying to make a left turn from Mann onto Glanford. Some impatient drivers make a risky dash when there is a small gap in the traffic. Glanford has become a busy street with traffic from West Saanich Road and Quadra Street using it to get to the southbound Pat Bay Highway via the ramp at Vanalman Road. Northbound traffic on Glanford is also held up when a driver wants to turn left onto Mann. Add to this vehicles coming from Wilkinson Road and using Mann to access Quadra Street and Glanford. How long do we have to wait for Saanich to get its traffic priorities straight? Ben Pires Saanich

Bike lanes on Lochside deter pedestrians

I live on Lochside Drive in Central

Does Greater Victoria have a problem with jaywalking? Answer online at www.vicnews.com

Saanich and like many of my neighbours, I like to walk and enjoy the beautiful weather and scenery. Lochside is part of the Lochside Trail and as such we have lanes on both sides of the road. With no sidewalks, we have to walk in these lanes. On the pavement is painted a diamond for restricted use, and a bicycle, and no indication is given that the lanes can and should be used by people who wish to walk, jog, skateboard etc. It is great that so many cyclists are using them, but some I have encountered really believe the lanes are for them only. In the past few months I have been told by cyclists to get out of their lane and in many cases had to move into the ditch or get hit. The problem seems to be getting much worse as there seems to be many more cyclists, especially on weekends. I have neighbors who tell me they are too scared to walk for fear of getting hit. If a diamond and a bicycle can be painted in these lanes, why couldn’t a person walking be also painted there to advise cyclists they have to share the lanes? Hopefully Central Saanich councillors can come up with a solution. David C. Petroski Saanichton

we asked you:

inundated with leaf blowers. A neighbour’s gardener was out for 40 minutes chasing the last leaf from her lawn. The noise was as deafening as an old Boeing 707. A call to Oak Bay’s bylaw officer told me there is no rule prohibiting the blowers. And he asked how else are they going to pick up leaves! I guess he has never heard of a rake. I think its high time Oak Bay council starts looking at a bylaw banning these machines. And these blown leaves. Where did they end up?

Online News poll offended reader Re: Will you be attending Remembrance Day ceremonies this year? (Online poll, vicnews.com) I was somewhat put out by the questions in your online poll regarding Remembrance Day. Under the ‘No’ option it states that because I tick No it means I have no connection to any veterans nor do I want to attend something that glorifies war. Many people cannot attend for many reasons and just because they indicate ‘No’ it does not mean they subscribe to the conditions you put forth in your poll. A simple Yes or No for all of your polls would be more appropriate. William Jesse Oak Bay

their kids. “I stood on the same wall and sang the same preschool song as my kids,” he said. “There are friends from preschool I’m still adult friends with now.” Pitre said the co-op model encourages parents become engaged in their kids’ education, but more so, it helps encourage long-term volunteerism. His two kids have gone through the school. “I quickly saw the benefits. You get involved in your child’s education. It integrates parents, teachers and children and sets the foundation for learning,” said Pitre. “It requires extra work and parents are busy, but once you’ve done a volunteer shift you feel good. Giving back is a positive experience.” “The families that come here end up on PACs and running events at schools,” Sylven added. “It’s where citizenship starts.” The Lambrick Park Preschool fundraiser is Nov. 16, 6:30 to 9 p.m., with a silent and live auction, live music and appetizers at the Gordon Head United Church, 4201 Tyndall Ave. Tickets are $20 at the door.

At Lambrick Park preschool, fundraising might go toward painting supplies or crafts, toys and occasionally, slightly more practical fixtures. Rhonda Sylven points with pride to their toilet, a miniature loo perfect for kids still a bit nervous about falling in. It’s got toilets covered, but this Saturday the non-profit preschool in Saanich hosts its major fundraising drive to bring in about half of the $7,500 it needs each year to close the gap on operating costs. “Fundraising events build community and doing it for the kids is easy,” said Sylven, the full-time early childhood educator at the preschool. “We get some subsidy from the government, but it hasn’t increased in nine years. That is challenging for sure. And we don’t turn away any families.”

The co-op operating model relies heavily on volunteer parent participation, both in the classroom and running the preschool as a business. Parents take on a duty day about once every month to help staff with the kids for a morning. “I come in and hang out. It’s great. It’s just playing with the kids and the mess isn’t in your home,” said Sheree McCall, a recent on-duty parent. A non-profit for 41 years but originally started in the late 1960s, long-running Lambrick preschool depends on parents maintaining its financial health for the next group that takes over, typically every few years. “A key reason why it’s so successful is ... is learning through playing – they learn to share, build relationships and how to co-operate,” Sylven said. “The same is happening for parents who run the preschool ... the executive votes on budgets and they learn to run a business.” Andrew Pitre, a parent on the executive committee, attended Lambrick preschool 30 years ago and part of a growing cohort of families returning with

Apprenticeships challenging in soft economy Continued from Page A1

Eric Sehn, Camosun’s dean of trades and technology, said apprenticeship numbers tend to rise and fall with the economy and infrastructure spending. If companies aren’t hiring and sponsoring apprenticeships, fewer people enter trades training. Trade foundation programs help fill the gap, Sehn said, and gives graduates school credit toward an apprenticeship. “It’s important during times when the economy is quite soft and vulnerable. Students can join the foundation program

without a sponsor,” he said, noting that while shipbuilding is ramping up, some construction related trades have taken a hit over the past few years. “It can be really challenging to find an apprenticeship when the economy is down and employers aren’t taking on staff.” The discovery skills program, which covers everything from electrical to auto repair to metal work to welding, is the “trades sampler,” Sehn said, and can lead to a foundation program or even an apprenticeship. This is the first time the Ministry of Advanced Education

Prospective candidates are required to submit confirmation of their intention to run by no later than 12 noon on Tuesday, January 7, 2014. Interviews will be scheduled shortly thereafter.

has funded discovery skills and opened it to a wider audience – previously the curriculum was focused on specific programs for women and aboriginal students. “It all has the same goal, giving people the opportunity to experience trades training to see what it most aligned with their interests and skills,” Sehn said. “I’m most happy when I see someone in discovery skills move on to a foundation program. If I see them year after year, I know they are on their way. That’s what we want to see happen.” editor@saanichnews.com

Coins for Kids to help family centre Daniel Palmer News staff

Next time you’ve got a pocket full of change, think of the kids. Launching today, Black Press’ Coins for Kids campaign (previously Pennies for Presents) is collecting pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, loonies and toonies to benefit The Salvation Army Stan Hagen Centre for Families. “Every dollar collected goes towards services for families in our community who need it most,” said Penny Sakamoto, Black Press-Greater Victoria group publisher. Last year during the Christmas season, The Salvation Army assisted 1,500 families with food hampers and gave toys and presents to another 800 families, said

spokeswoman Kyla Ferns. “Your donations enable The Salvation Army to help hundreds of Victoria families over the holidays and throughout the year,” Ferns said. “We can’t do it alone and we are very grateful to the community for your support.” Now in its 17th year, Coins for Kids has raised more than $600,000 since its inception. To donate, look for the Coins for Kids boxes at participating local businesses, or stop by Black Press office, 818 Broughton St. in Victoria or the Goldstream News Gazette offices, 117-777 Goldstream Ave. in Langford. “Your unwanted coins will amount to big things for children this holiday season,” Sakamoto said. “Let’s all help make this another great fundraising success.”

Saanich hit with rash of break and enters Police are warning residents about the importance of locking windows and doors, even when you're home, following a series of brazen daytime break and enters. The first incident occurred around 3:30 p.m. on Nov. 7 in the 5600-block of the Pat Bay Highway near Elk Lake. A 29-year-old female taking a nap and awoke to the sound of someone in her suite. An unknown male fled when she exited her bedroom. The second incident occurred on Nov. 12 between 1 and 4 p.m. at a home in the 4600-block of West Saanich Rd. A resident returned home to find video games and loose change missing. The third incident also happened mid-afternoon on Nov. 12 at a home in the 4500-block of Chatterton Way. A resident returned home to find a gaming console and a garment bag were taken. "While it is not known if there incidents are related, there are striking similarities in each of the cases," said Sgt. Steve Eassie. Police are asking anyone with information on any of the break and enters to call 250-475-4321. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Police dog nabs B&E suspect With the assistance of a police dog, Saanich police arrested a 24-year-old man early Tuesday morning who broke into a commercial building in the 800-block of Cloverdale Ave. The alarm call came in just after midnight. An officer observed at least one person was inside the building. “Despite several warnings, the suspect refused to surrender to police,” Sgt. Steve Eassie said. The canine unit entered the building and successfully found the suspect. The man was taken to hospital and treated for significant injuries to his arm, likely from climbing through a broken window. Joshua Mundy, from the Nanaimo area, faces charges of break and enter and possession of a controlled substance. kslavin@saanichnews.com

victoria’s ultimate get out guide

Steve Patterson might be NATALIE NOrTH

debatable!

arts@mondaymag.com

anada’s Best Male Comic is at home in the middle of a great debate, a prerequisite for hosting a fast-paced radio show, or attending law school – two activities which Steve Patterson knows well. Patterson, a Montreal-based standup comic and host of CBC’s The Debaters had a full scholarship to law school – a part of his bio most find hard to believe – before his penchant for public speaking rerouted his career path. His dorm mates signed him up for a spot during a standup show at Yuk Yuk’s in Toronto, without letting Patterson in on the evening’s lineup. “They called my name and I got out of the audience and talked off the top of my head for seven minutes,” Patterson says. “It’s not the way I would suggest starting standup comedy, but it’s the way I started. I certainly hope it’s not caught on tape anywhere. I wouldn’t want to try and recapture the magic.” Aside from Patterson’s judgment of his debut, it was good enough that the club management asked him back. By the end of the school year, he returned to the stage. “Whenever you can get a big laugh it’s a lot of adrenaline and if you get that early on in life, you don’t really need any other highs,” says Patterson, who was growing disillusioned with the process of obtaining a law degree at the time. Eventually “the weird kid in class” who revelled in being a regular of London, Ont.’s citywide public speaking contests, put that early education to use and set off on a less traditional career trajectory. “By the time you’ve travelled and eaten, often you’re in the hole. It’s a tough gig to make any money out of. When I hear people say: ‘I sorta might want to do comedy,’ I think they’re probably not going to succeed because you really have to want to do it,” he says. “I have more lawyer friends than any comedian in the world, but I decided to go a different way. It worked out. Took a lot longer than if I had gone into law, but I’m happy about it. I just feel at home doing it.” The past decade has brought the kind of natural progression one could expect in the content of a comic’s act. The song parodies that would gain instant audience approval, (without the respect of his fellow comedians) have been exchanged for more original songs, now included in a set built around his own take on the day’s events,

with a few open letters between observations. Patterson’s gigs (Just for Laughs, The Debaters, Short Film Face-off) and accolades (Best Male Comic from the 2013 Canadian Comedy Awards) are less of a certainty in the business. But there are at least a couple of guarantees: “The weird requests never stop coming in comedy,” says Patterson, while recounting an unfortunate corporate show that included an unimpressed guest destroying the vibe of the event, which happened to take place in a well-lit hotel dining room. “For whatever reason, comedy just doesn’t get the respect of other forms. Sometimes you’re not on a stage, you’re just in the corner of the room and they’ll leave all the lights on so it’s like you’re performing in an aisle of Wal-Mart.” Though he describes his This Is Not Debatable! show as edgier than what he’s able to say on national public radio, he still doesn’t like to venture into dirty comedy, preferring instead to “walk to the edge and not go over it.” Another trend he doesn’t mind bucking – discussing the age-old differences between sexes. “Some comics don’t like to do it because they feel it’s an old premise to talk about men and women individually and how SUPPLIED PHOTO they interact with each other, but I find all Steve Patterson, host of CBC’s The Debaters, brings his solo standup show to the McPherson comics who don’t like to use certain topics Playhouse Nov. 17. because they’re overused, themselves are using overused topics,” he says. “You can make anything funny if you do it right and “Obviously it’s a cut-throat business. been fruitful thus far. for certain crowds you just have to be as You’re out there by yourself and there are “I don’t mind being known as The general as possible and not get too specific.” limited opportunities given to people and Debaters guy at all.

ext week’s season opener for the Blue Bridge Repertory Theatre will be a two-pronged affair. Not only is the Victoria company launching its sixth season with True West, the Sam Shepard-penned tale of two estranged brothers who reconnect, it is presenting its conversion of the Roxy Theatre into a fullfledged live performance space. “Our people are working round the clock to get the theatre ready,” says Brian Richmond, Blue Bridge’s artistic producing director. “We think it’ll be a great performance space.” Converting a facility that has only known life as a movie house into a live performance venue has meant starting somewhat from scratch. A stage had to be built, along with a backstage area; lighting racks and a sound system had to be installed, and from a comfort point of view, the washrooms had to be upgraded and expanded. Blue Bridge invited guests in for a sneak peek Halloween night with the screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Kicking things off with a production of one of the multi-talented Shepard’s best-known and respected plays makes sense for Blue Bridge, Richmond says. “We’re a company that’s become known for productions of classic plays,” he says, adding Shepard’s writing work fits into that SuPPLieD PHOTO category. “But even Brian Richmond artistic though (True West) director of Blue Bridge was written in 1980, Repertory Theatre. it still has a contemporary edge to it.” Richmond points out the script has attracted such Hollywood veteran actors as Philip Seymour Hoffman, John C. Reilly and Bruce Willis, and a young Gary Sinise and John Malkovich. Victoria’s version stars Blue Bridge stalwart Jacob Richmond (Brian’s son) and newcomer Paul Fateux and is directed by Britt Small from Atomic Vaudeville. Looking ahead, Blue Bridge has an eclec-

Laila Pires, association president, is at the Bayanihan centre with other volunteer board members to help facilitate donations. She was there in a meeting last Friday when news of the storm reached them. “We were quite shocked at the gravity of the situation,” she said. “A lot of people were trying to contact family and couldn’t (reach them),” she said. “That’s hell, having to wait.” An estimated 5,000 Filipinos live in the Greater Victoria area, she said, including more than 1,000 caregivers who are living here away from their families, under temporary status. As the extent of damage continues to unfold on the ground, churches around the region and other groups have been organizing emergency fundraisers; car washes, bake sales and other events, to do whatever they can to help. The outpouring of generosity has been a great consolation to the Filipino community, Pires said.

Association board member Leonor Santos said cash or cheques are the best donation item at the moment, since it is easily transferable to the Canadian Red Cross, which is co-ordinating efforts with the International Red Cross on the ground in the Philippines. “We’re not in a rush to send material items. It takes a month or more to ship anything there,” she said, noting that people have asked about donating clothing or other items for those in need. As of mid-week, roughly $5 million had been raised by the Canadian Red Cross in Canada. Carly Milloy, annual appeal manager for the Victoria office, said local residents were quick to respond to the crisis. She echoed the statement that cash donations are best. “Right now they need food and shelter and money is what pays for those things and puts those together on the ground,” she said.

Vic hospitals foundation kicks off campaign The Victoria Hospitals Foundation kicked off its fall campaign with the goal to raise the remaining $4 million needed to purchase medical equipment for the Royal Jubilee Hospital’s patient care centre. The foundation had planned to raise $25 million two years ago, but came up short, said foundation chair Alan Lowe. “Everyone is looking for the same dollars these days,” he said. “It’s been a challenge but we believe we’ll be successful this year.” Vancouver philanthropist Jim Pattison is matching every dollar donated, up to a maximum of $5 million. Equipment the foundation plans to purchase includes bedside vital sign monitors and wireless communication devices to allow patients to speak to nurses anywhere they are in the hospital. “The patient care centre doesn’t just serve the residents of Victoria, but the entire Island,” Lowe said.

Elk Lake athletes pull in national medals Seventeen-year-old wins junior bronze at national regatta Travis Paterson News staff

Bad weather limited the National Rowing Championships in Welland, Ont. last week but didn’t stop Elk Lake rowers from hitting the podium. Sofia Donnecke, 17, relied on her time from a qualifying heat to earn her a bronze medal in the junior

(under-19) women’s singles. “I’ll admit it was a disappointment,” said Donnecke, a Claremont Sports Institute athlete. “I was progressing as the fastest junior with a time that promised me a solid spot in the B final.” As much as she appreciated racing against seniors and under-23 athletes, she ended up facing one too many of them in the quarterfinal, in her opinion, as she was bumped to the C/D semifinals instead of the A/B semis. Turns out it was all for naught as the regatta was disrupted by high winds and Donnecke didn’t

race again after the quarter. “I never got to race the juniors who placed silver and gold (ahead of me), but the regatta experience held several valuable lessons for me that I will take onto next season,” Donnecke said. “It is great motivation to keep training to improve because directly comparing your times to those of the London Training Centre women... It’s not something infinitely out of reach.” Boat loads of South Island rowers made the trip, with two more junior athletes, Kelsey Farmer and Caileigh Filmer of the Victoria City Rowing

Invasive ladybugs seek hibernation space Kyle Slavin News staff

Ladybugs are often associated with the arrival of spring, but with the arrival of cooler weather and the impending winter, don’t be surprised if you start seeing more spotted beetles than usual. Brian Spencer, a microbiologist and president of Applied Bio-nomics Ltd. in North Saanich, says the invasive ladybug species commonly known as the multicoloured Asian lady beetle is in the process of hibernating. “Like most beetles they have a winter congregation pattern. Sometimes they

Page 16

appear on the south side of a house year after year, sometimes they pick different houses,” Spencer said. “They also tend to find a way to get into people’s houses. They want to, over winter, be in your kitchen. They’re looking for a nice, warm place to spend the winter without freezing to death.” Spencer says this species of ladybug was released in the 1970s in Georgia and has since swept across North America. While the multicoloured Asian lady beetles aren’t native to the continent, they do play a role in controlling the aphid population in the spring and summer. “There’s a bit of concern that they may displace our native ladybug species. (Native

ladybugs) hibernate up in the mountains on the Malahat and climb under rocks. (Multicoloured Asian lady beetles) like structures better than rocks, and because of that their congregation pattern is more noticeable for us,” Spencer added. The multicoloured Asian lady beetle is not the same ladybug species that local municipalities – Saanich and Victoria included – release to eat aphids. Those are the convergent lady beetles. Cory Manton, Saanich’s manager of urban forestry, horticulture and natural areas, says they release convergent lady beetles on a handful of streets in the spring. “We don’t have the same aphid issues as

the city. We don’t have the monoculturetype species planting on developed boulevards that they have,” he said of trees that attract aphids, like linden, beech and some invasive oaks. Spencer says the multicoloured Asian lady beetle is here, whether we want it or not and its numbers are building. If you find ladybugs in your home this fall or winter, try to move them to a cool area like a garage. Spencer warns about reflex bleeding if you try to brush them away, so he suggests vacuuming them into a bag, leaving them for the winter and then dumping them in the garden come spring. kslavin@saanichnews.com
