SWIMMING FREE Swimmer pulls in 8 medals at B.C. Special Olympics Travis Paterson News staff
Aly White can recall when she first arrived in Canada at five years old. She wasn’t just afraid of swimming, she didn’t even want to wash her hands. “I was petrified.” The stressful condition had a lot to do
with the orphanage she came from, says adopted mom Ingrid White of Saanich. Now 27, Aly has long overcome any fears she ever had with water and has blossomed as an accomplished swimmer, thanks to the opportunities made available through the Special Olympics. The freedom of the water gives Aly a break from the symptoms of ADHD, as she finds clarity and a better state of mind. “I would be in the pool 24-7 if I could,” Aly says.
was disqualified, which does happen.” In fact, it happened to Aly, as she might have won a ninth medal but she pulled her arms too low during the breaststroke. “The officials are very precise,” Ingrid says. Aly is busy working as a leader at youth summer camps with the Emmanuel Baptist Church at Cedar Hill Cross and Henderson roads, and is back training often with the Special Olympics at Crystal Pool. “It’s important that my coach Sara Ozog was so hardcore. She pushed me, and I think that’s what some special athletes need, is to be pushed a little more,” Aly says. PLEASE SEE: White looks to Cowichan challenge, Page A23

“It’s a huge difference,” Ingrid says of seeing how far her daughter has come. White hauled in eight medals (three golds, four silvers and a bronze) at the recent Special Olympics division of the B.C. Summer Games in Nanaimo. It was a surprise despite winning three medals at last year’s B.C. Special Olympics in Abbotsford, her first provincial meet. In Nanaimo, White won gold in the 50m freestyle, 100m individual medley, and 50m butterfly, silver in the 200m freestyle, 100m freestyle, 100m backstroke and 50m breaststroke, and bronze in the 50m backstroke. “I was not expecting eight medals,” Aly says. “Even though I was sitting in (medal) spots for the swims we had to wait all day for the final results, just in case (someone)

Hero Holiday offers glimpse into humanitarian work Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
Although a Saanich resident, Isabella McNamee adores Oak Bay High, intentionally selecting it upon leaving Cedar Hill middle school because of the myriad programs and opportunities. “You can step foot into Oak Bay High in Grade 9 and say this is my section, for me it’s arts, and you have 30 different ways to express that,” she explained. Right upon entering the school, the avid dancer tackled a rite of passage at Oak Bay High, applying for the Hero Holiday, submitting an essay alongside 150 of her peers. As one of about 30 selected, the 15-year-old spent her spring break on a humanitarian adventure to Vicente Guerrero, Mexico to build houses for impoverished families. “It was amazing. I have 32 new best friends,” she said. “There’s nothing to worry about. You know they’re good people. They wouldn’t be there if they weren’t.” She worked on a home built for a mom and dad with a nine-yearold girl. The mother also had two children working in Tijuana who she hoped to lure back with a home. “It took us four days. I thought it would take years,” McNamee said,
of the house built for a family of three in Mexico. The group built two homes, and furnished them right down to toys for the kids. In the 18 months between group selection and the trip, the group raised $32,000 and gathered bags full of donations. They held a jail or bail at school, silent auction and masquerade ball and a ‘last dance’ in the East Gym at Oak Bay High that drew alumni. McNamee travelled south with two big bags full, one completely stuffed with donation items. She returned with one light bag. “Your nice shoes, the runners you’re wearing, you leave,” she said. “Everything there is being used more that it would be here.” “I’ll definitely be involved with Hero Holiday again next year. What that role is, I don’t know,” she said. Her work with the Hero Holiday program and dedication to dance and sharing her knowledge are among the reasons she was awarded an Oak Bay Young Exceptional Star Award. “I never thought of myself as one of those kids,” McNamee said of the award. McNamee has spent her life dancing and using it as a tool to give back to the community. From the age of three she danced with Dance Unlimited Performing Arts until last year when she shifted to a pre-professional program at the West Coast Academy of Performing Arts where she trains in ballet, modern and

jazz dance alongside general conditioning work. “I love it. It’s six days a week,” she said. “It pushes you to the breaking point. There’s something about leaving a class with your ballet shoes over your shoulder and dripping in sweat. It’s great.” Despite the time consumed by the rigours of her own dance, she still finds the time to be an influential part of the Oak Bay High school dance
program. She has become one of the lead choreographers in the program, a position usually held by a more senior student. “I’ve always just wanted to share everything,” she said. “I love teaching; it’s one of my favourite things in the world. I love sharing knowledge.” She’ll teach youngsters to have fun this summer, spending July as an intern with Saanich Recreation working summer camps.

The Prospect Lake Soccer Club is cashing in on Saanich’s interest-free loan program to help build a change house at Layritz Park. The $250,000 contingency loan – approved by council Monday – will help build a facility that will benefit other users of the park, such as Layritz Little League and those who use nearby regional trails, said club president Kevin Watson. “We already had this loan approved from the artificial turf replacement in 2007,” Watson said. “So we rolled that over to the current project.” The club had previously secured $500,000 through fundraising and a provincial grant, but the district loan means the project can move ahead more quickly, Watson said. The loan must be repaid within five years if accessed by the club. Mayor Frank Leonard said the interest-free loans are particularly beneficial to projects for community sporting groups. “Myself and others found when we were involved with our kids, you’d do fundraising and you’d never get the reward, it would be for the next generation,” he said. “So it was always hard to raise funds because you knew it wouldn’t happen for your own kids and that same motivation wasn’t there. So we came up with this interest free loan program, and it’s proven to be quite successful.”
Saanich South MLA Lana Popham has been re-assigned as the NDP’s provincial opposition critic for the minister of agriculture and food. It was one of many moves in the NDP’s cabinet shuffle under John Horgan last week. Popham swaps her recent role as the official opposition and critic for small business, tourism, arts and culture with Powell River–Sunshine Coast MLA Lana Popham Nicholas Simons. It’s a return to agriculture and food for Popham, who acted as a critic with the ministry following her 2009 election. The co-owner of the organic Barking Dog Organic Vineyard, with husband Jon Popham, was a proponent of the Buy B.C. initiative during her previous run as the food critic. Locally, Victoria-Swan Lake MLA Rob Fleming continues as the education critic, while VictoriaBeacon Hill MLA Carole James replaces Mike Farnworth as the NDP’s new finance critic.

Teachers stand pat on picket line Drew McLachlan News staff
While school is out of session, Victoria teachers will be holding the line at two locations this summer, although with minimal attendance. Tara Baird, who teaches at Monterey middle school, has taken 22 four-hour shifts picketing outside the Tolmie board office on Boleskine Road, along with four other teachers from 5:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Thanks to a $1.5 million donation from Ontario teachers, those who sign up to picket are given $50 per shift, a respite after not receiving any strike pay during the last two weeks of the school year. “A lot of teachers have to take other jobs during the summer,” Baird said. “I’m just really lucky because my husband isn’t a teacher.” Along with the board office, a two-person picket line is in place at Uplands elementary, which houses the Victoria International High School Program’s administrative offices. The Tolmie and Uplands buildings are the only locations open during the summer in the school district, aside from the facilities department offices adjacent to Burnside elementary school, which teachers will not be picketing due to a court injunction. “The point of a picket line

Nestled in among the trees on Arbutus Road, a heritage house turned local seniors’ centre is the place to be for seniors looking to try a new activity or socialize with friends. Goward House, a non-profit society run mostly by volunteers, opened in 1991. Membership is open to people aged 50 and over, but five per cent of the memberships are open to those under 50. “We’ve never come close to reaching our quota of five per cent,” said Elaine Leonard, Goward House administrator. “So it’s pretty well open to anybody.” About 450 people are members, whose annual fees fund most of the operations at Goward House. Activity fees, kitchen sales and fundraisers make up the rest of the funding streams along with a small grant from the District of Saanich, Leonard said. “We would like more funding, but it allows us to have our independence and to do other things,” she said. “It’s a double-edged sword.” While many groups at Goward House take breaks during the summer, Leonard said it gives them an opportunity to plan other events. For example, staff is scheduling Steve Wallace driving sessions in the downstairs of Goward house when the space is free during the summer. “I find that seniors really want to be proactive, number one, about their health, and about things that they
see on the horizon that they need to know about, like where they are going to live, downsizing [and] driving,” Leonard said. “Even if they’re not quite at that age, they seem to be really interested in making sure they have all the information.” A large fundraiser is coming on Sept. 18, when Goward house will be hosting a Victorian Vogue Fashion Show, which will include heritage fashions and high tea for $20. “We’re being as authentic as we can to a high tea … even researching the menus,” Leonard said. Tickets are currently being sold to reserve seats for the tea. “More than bringing in money, our goal is always to bring people into Goward House that haven’t been here before,” she said. Goward House serves as a gathering place for seniors, who can often experience isolation in the community. “I think our greatest purpose is to just keep the seniors engaged in wanting to be active with other seniors,” Leonard said. Hans Gelens, who has been coming for the past decade, expressed similar enthusiasm about the importance of Goward House. “In my opinion, it’s the most beautiful seniors’ centre in Victoria,” Gelens said. “It’s always a pleasure to be here.” Goward House is open Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Daily schedules of activities can be found at gowardhouse.com, or at Goward House, 2945 Arbutus Rd. andrea.peacock@vicnews.com

Care home opens sensory room for relaxation Andrea Peacock News staff
A room to stimulate the senses and calm anxiousness is now open at Aberdeen Hospital, a care facility on Hillside Avenue. The therapeutic sensory room, or the “Snoezelen Room,” is filled with elements such as coloured lights, bubble tubes and fibre optic cables. It is for any patient or staff member to go into when feeling anxious or need time out to relax, said Johanne Hemond, recreation therapist at Aberdeen Hospital. “It’s an opportunity to take some time out, which is really important in a facility like this,” said Hemond. “These people don’t have [the] privilege like we do to just get out of the building and go places where they know they can relax. So this gives them [an] area where they can do that.” Snoezelen is a mix of two Dutch verbs. Snuffelen, meaning to seek out or explore, and doezelen, meaning to relax. Dutch therapists created Snoezelen in the 1970s when they found success using sensorystimulating objects as a kind of therapy. Completed at the
end of May, Aberdeen’s therapeutic sensory room officially opened earlier this month. It was funded by Island Health, Greater Victoria Eldercare Foundation and the Juan de Fuca Hospitals Auxiliary. So far the response at Aberdeen has been positive. “The care staff have been bringing residents in when they’re feeling like they need it,” said Hemond. “Residents love it.” One of the challenges in designing the room was making it not seem too childish, said Hemond. “You don’t want to degrade [residents] to that level.” Resident Marya Brown finds the sensory room to be helpful. She suffered a stroke five years ago, resulting in her losing the use of the left side of her body and she often gets migraines. “I can go in there and calm down and can prevent migraines even,” said Brown. “The lights and the movement of them are very calming. So if you have any stress at all, it melts away in that room. It’s amazing.” Similar rooms exist elsewhere in Greater Victoria. andrea.peacock@vicnews.com

See and be seen for cycling safety Although cycling is great fun, it also involves some danger. In North America nearly 800 cyclists die in collisions with motor vehicles each year, and another 24,000 suffer injuries. You can reduce these dangers by following some simple cycling safety tips. Wear a helmet and wear it properly, not perched on the back of your head. During the day, wear fluorescent clothing and, at night, a functional headlight and reflective stripes on your clothing, helmet and bike will help ensure you are visible from all sides. Flashing red lights which can be attached to your bicycle saddle, backpack or helmet are an excellent and inexpensive way of increasing visibility. www.oakbayoptometry.com Wear sunglasses with UV protection to shield Dr. Neil Paterson your eyes from the sun’s damaging rays.

OUR VIEW
Embrace summer It’s hot. There’s no doubt summer has arrived in earnest this week, sending temperatures near record levels across the region. Many of us have sought solace as we can. Snapping up fans and mini air conditioners off the shelves. Heading to the beach or the local outdoor pool. Heck, even dipping our feet in a bucket full of ice water. Whatever works. Some of us are lucky enough to get out of town for a while, camping or holidaying near the ocean or a lake where we can cool off. The rest of us, those in town out of choice or necessity, may be tied to our usual routines and responsibilities. If possible, this is a good time to break out a little. Forget the routines, let the dishes wait, put the projects around the house on hold. This kind of weather is only here for a brief stretch. We’ll be back to wet and cool before we know it. By drinking our fill of what we’ve been given today, we might—just possibly—be a little more able to savour those romantic, drizzly West Coast days that come in earnest by November. Head down to the beach with a basket of food and a blanket after work to savour the sunset. Invite some friends over for a barbecue, or meet them in one of our fantastic local parks for a picnic. Do whatever strikes your fancy. Summer’s here. Embrace it.
Summer is finally here – enjoy it.

B.C.’s medical health officers issued a letter denouncing the decision by Transportation Minister Todd Stone to raise speed limits. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall said the research is clear that higher speeds increase the risk and severity of incidents. Then there is the government’s own position, articulated in a road safety strategy released last year by Attorney General Suzanne Anton. “Research is conclusive that at higher speeds, more people are killed and injured in the traffic system,” it states. “At lower speeds, fewer are killed and injured as a direct result of the safety buffer that lowered speeds create.” The strategy notes that new technologies such as adaptive cruise control are becoming available. B.C. is also testing electronic highway speed limit signs that change with weather and traffic conditions. Next comes self-driving vehicle systems, so drivers will be able to check their phones again. ••• Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

LETTER
WHY WAIT? WE CAN HELP NOW! Home & Hospital Visits Happiness is
Victorians’ help was appreciated My wife and I recently spent a glorious week in the Pacific Northwest, with three of those days on Vancouver Island. During the course of our stay, we experienced a number of fantastic and beautiful sights, a great bed and breakfast (many thanks to you, Marketa) along with significantly cooler weather than we have in Texas at this time of year.
On our last night in Victoria, my wife tripped over a buckled sidewalk as we were walking to dinner. A number of people in our intended restaurant destination came out to assist us, helping to calm her down and providing us with directions to Royal Jubilee Hospital. This mishap did not diminish the fantastic memories we will retain long after the pain of her

“As a senior voter, I find myself railing against the Golden Gordies of politics. I’ve turned into an electoral grouch. I want substance dammit. I demand accountability.” that demand political accountability. In the past year I’ve written about the government’s decision to eliminate the seniors’ passenger fare discount on BC Ferries. The government’s own number crunchers predicted 150,000 seniors would stop using the system because of this policy. This comes on top of a 28 per cent electricity rate hike over five years with the biggest one year increase of nine per cent coming this past April. Then there were the MSP premium rate increases last January. At the same time health authorities were increasing the cost of residential care at a time when access to needed community health services, like home support, continued to decline. Again, this must change and I’d love to see political candidates argue otherwise at a BC seniors’ all-candidate forum during the next campaign. Visit elections.bc.ca or www.gov.bc.ca/cscd/ for more information on the upcoming 2014 B.C. municipal elections on Saturday, Nov. 15.

Welcome to Holiday. Welcome home.
Celebrating 15 years of volunteering
Carol Tinkham is celebrating 15 years of volunteering with the Juan de Fuca seniors’ centre this November, a place she “can’t say enough good about,” she said.

Born and raised in Saskatchewan, she moved out to the coast just after getting married, and has lived in the west shore for over 55 years. “This is such a perfect spot,” she said. “I’m right down from the water, and I’m five minutes away from the centre.” Our community’s amenities: • Schedulted local transportation In addition to her many volunteer hours, • Three Chef-prepared meals a day • An exclusive travel program Tinkham has also taken advantage of the many activities at the centre, and has lawn • Full calendar of activities & events • Pets warmly welcomed bowled, swum, learned Hawaiian dancing, • 24/7 live-in managers • And much more! learned to play bridge and been involved in • Housekeeping & linen service drama. “I’ve played Anne of Green Gables and Goldie Hawn,” she said with a laugh. Tinkham has also been instrumental in connecting many seniors. “I am quite a social person,” she said, “and I like to keep an eye out for someone else who might not be. To see someone sitting by themselves near the front, and ask ‘is this chair taken?’” INDEPENDENT RETIREMENT LIVING “I always say I like to see you come in with a bit of a smile and leave with a laugh, saying ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY ###### ©2014 HARVEST MANAGEMENT SUB LLC, HOLIDAY CANADA MANAGEMENT & HOLIDAY AL said HOLDINGS LP 21662 ‘I’m glad ULC, I came today,’” Tinkham.

SAANICH NEWS - Wednesday, July 30, 2014
Dementia workshop series helps caregivers An increasing number of Saanich families face a journey with dementia. Learning about the disease is a vital first step on that journey, says the Alzheimer Society of B.C. And education is a vital component of the society’s mandate in the Capital Region, where five free workshops will be held in August. The society’s Family Caregiver Series provides practical techniques and strategies caregivers can begin using immediately. Topics to be covered include effective communication, understanding behaviour as a form of communication, selfcare for the caregiver and planning for the future. The workshop runs on five Wednesdays, Aug. 6 through Sept. 3, from 9:30 a.m. to noon. The society is also offering three workshops in August on Thursday afternoons from 1:30 to 4 p.m. Accessing Services (Aug. 7), designed for people who are supporting a person with dementia, will review strategies for accessing support through a variety of sources in the community. Transition to Residential Care (Aug. 14) provides information for family caregivers who are considering residential care options for a person with dementia. Life in Residential Care (Aug. 21) will explore strategies for making the adjustment to residential care. Finally, on Wednesday, Aug. 27 the Society is offering a Heads Up: An Introduction to Brain Health workshop. All workshops take place at Hillside Seniors Health Centre, 1454 Hillside Ave. Preregistration is required. For information and to sign up, please call 250370-5641 (press 2) or email WellnessCentreRegistration@viha.ca. For more information on Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, please call 250-382-2052 or email mranderson@ alzheimerbc.org. editor@saanichnews.com

Pacific Rollshutters & Awnings;
Be Septic Savvy This Summer TIP FOUR
DON’T POUR YOUR BEST INTENTIONS DOWN THE DRAIN.
Solving your heat, light and security needs Anyone who has longed to enjoy a south-facing deck in the heat of summer or watched their new furniture fade in the sun’s damaging rays will appreciate the attractive, practical solutions from Pacific Rollshutters and Awnings. Pacific And for those looking to improve Rollshutters & security around their home or business, Awnings a variety of options are available there as Owner well. Don Beatty Offering both solar control, through awnings, skylight covers, window films and exterior retractable screens, and security, through rollshutters, security film, security bars and folding security gates, owner Don Beatty is thrilled to provide a quality product people really enjoy. “I like the products, which is really important, and we provide a service that people really enjoy and appreciate,” he explains. With Greater Victoria’s long, typically sunny, spring, summer and fall, custom, made-to-measure awnings continue to be a popular choice for homeowners looking for an attractive way to control the effects of the sun, both heat and UV damage to furniture, flooring and carpets. A variety of modern fabrics are available, and more and more homeowners are choosing the ease of today’s motorization features, Beatty notes. Skylights can also benefit from a variety of solutions to suit just about every need and budget. An array of sun solutions for homes and businesses is also available from the European-based Corradi, including retractable awnings and selfsupporting shading structures. For those who have been enjoying the benefits of a window or deck awning for some time, Pacific Rollshutters and Awnings also offers servicing, including recovering for a fresh new look. Unobtrusive window film can be another excellent choice for solar control and comes in a variety of styles and tints, depending on your home’s particular needs; in fact, certain films also have excellent security benefits. While North Americans may associate rollshutters with urban security in a commercial setting, aesthetically appealing shutters are commonly used in Europe to improve residential sun control and security, Beatty, says, noting that when rolled up, the shutters are almost invisible. Innovations have also brought the same technology to modern window screens to provide external sun control that doesn’t impede the view from inside. As a local business serving Victorians for more than two decades, a quality product backed by exceptional customer service has earned Pacific Rollshutters and Awnings a reputation built on word-of-mouth advertising. “Customer service really is what it’s all about. When the phone rings, it’s me who answers,” Beatty notes. BBB-accredited with an A+ rating, that customer-focused approach extends to Beatty’s skilled, knowledgeable staff. “I have one of the best installers; I receive calls from clients all the time to say how pleased they were to have him in their home, and for that reason we get a lot of referrals,” he says. “We’re really good at what we do.”

Sharing a passion for the ocean G rowing up in the East Kootenays, my playgrounds were the Rocky Mountains, alpine lakes and fields of wildflowers in the summer. I have always felt at home in nature and was more comfortable climbing trees, exploring the backcountry and snowboarding down steep, snow-covered slopes than being a “city-slicker.” Although I will always have a special place in my heart for the mountains and rugged outdoors of BC’s interior, I became absolutely and utterly

for an hour gave me the “credentials" to see a world unknown to many. Slowly swimming with a tank on my back, I was in complete awe; I felt a million miles away from anything I had ever known, yet felt completely calm and at home in the water. Maybe I truly was a water baby, or better yet, a sea goddess. Immediately after coming home from spring break, I enrolled in a PADI scuba diving course to gain my open water certification. However, I was still living in the interior and my exciting Costa Rica dives
quickly turned into an exploration of a murky, lilypad infested lake. As my passion for the ocean continued to grow and I became increasingly aware of the threats to the ocean, I began to wonder what difference I could make. I applied to the University of Victoria and made my way west to continue my education in biology and ocean sciences. Throughout my degree I was fortunate to experience some wonderful courses, including a full semester at the Bamfield Marine

Sciences Centre (BMSC). For four months at BMSC I explored the beaches, went snorkelling in the giant tide pool, conducted my own research, met experts in their fields and never read a textbook. What better way to understand the complex mysteries of the ocean than through hands-on experiential learning? While many people love the research and discovery side of science (or being locked away in the lab), I found my second passion in outreach and education. I enjoy sharing my knowledge, teaching others and inspiring the public to think differently about the ocean we are surrounded by. If you were an astronaut up in space staring back at planet Earth, you might think it had been misnamed and should really be called planet Blue, as the ocean covers more than 70 per cent of the planet and is home to 80 per cent of life. This beautiful ecosystem in our backyards not only provides the world food, resources, a means for transportation and a spiritual connection, but the ocean influences the climate, provides us with 50 per cent of the oxygen we breathe and is the basis of our livelihood. The oceans are changing and changing fast – there are no ifs ands or buts about it. However, as coastal dwellers we have the opportunity to learn about this precious ecosystem and share our knowledge to protect this valuable resource. With only five per cent of ocean truly explored, there is much to discover – and boy am I excited! Over the next several months I will share my passion for the shoreline, and introduce you to species you can find off the Saanich peninsula, the mysteries of the ocean and hope to increase your ocean literacy. Combining her passions for education and the marine ecosystem Natasha Ewing inspires K-12 teachers and students to incorporate hands-on experiential ocean science into the classroom for Ocean Networks Canada.

Saanich swimmer Aly White won three gold medals, four silvers and a bronze medal in the B.C. Summer Games Special Olympics held in Nanaimo this month.
White looks to Cowichan challenge
CONGRATULATIONS!
Continued from Page A1
Judging from Aly’s breakout in the water in the last 12 months, she’s the one doing the pushing. Back in February, White outdid everyone, swimming 162 laps (25 metres each) in an hour and 20 minutes during the Special Olympics fundraiser at Crystal Pool. “It was all the time we had and I was just getting going,” Aly jokes. The long distance effort earned her notice from Susan Simmons, the local marathon swimmer who conquered the 34-km length of Cowichan Lake with swimming partner Alex Cape. Simmons has since come on as another coach for Aly, and she is planning to join Simmons and Cape for a five-km leg of the duo’s Cowichan Lake double attempt on Aug. 22, a 70-km swim that will last overnight Aug. 22 and 23. reporter@saanichnews.com
Hampton’s Highlanders win B.C. soccer title The Peninsula Co-Op Highlander’s completed a perfect season with a 2-0 defeat of the Vancouver Whitecaps 2-0 in Penticton on Sunday, winning the Pacific Coast Soccer League premier women’s provincial championship. Mia Gunter and Emma Greig scored for the Highlanders and goalkeeper Step Parker sailed through the weekend without giving up a goal. The Highlanders had previously defeated the Kamloops Heat 4-0 in the semifinal on Saturday. The trophy was one of two PCSL championships won by the Highlanders family as the reserve men beat their up-Island brethren, the Mid Isle Highlanders, 1-0 on Sunday for the men’s U-21 Reserve Challenge Cup. The Co-op Highlanders women’s reserves nearly made it three PCSL trophies but fell short in the a 2-1 loss to Penticton Pinnacles for the Bill Gillespie Challenge Cup (reserve) final.
