Making it a race Eight candidates in Victoria mayoral race Kevin Laird Victoria News

An accountant, lawyer, journalist, political activist, non-profit founder and social scientist are among eight candidates who will will make a bid for the Victoria’s mayor’s job in the Nov. 15 civic election. On Friday, former TV journalist Stephen Andrew made his candidacy official at a news conference at Centennial Square. Andrew said he will debate the issues that matter to the people of Victoria. He wants to change the way the city is governed. “My first priority will be to establish responsibilities, or portfolios, for each councillor to focus on the issues that have significant impact on our city,”Andrew said. “Council must focus on setting policy, not interfering in the day-to-day ■ David Shebib work at City Hall.” Andrew joins Mayor Dean Fortin, seeks mayor’s Coun.

University of Victoria Art History and Visual Studies Prof. Marcus Milwright displays the first page of a two-volume diary, composed of sketches from the First World War. Milwright and others at the university are on a mission to identify the book’s author. UVic Photo Services

First World War sketches a mystery Daniel Palmer News staff

Experts at the University of Victoria are hoping history buffs can help them discover the mystery author of a two-volume leather diary that depicts intimate sketches from the front lines of the First World War. The diary, which was first documented in the university’s archives in the 1970s, includes only the initials “J.M.” and a dedication that reads: “To my daughter Adele.” But it’s only now researchers are reaching out to the public in hopes of discovering its origin. “There’s an image that dates to 1920, so we know J.M. survived the war,” said Marcus Milwright, UVic art history and visual studies professor. Milwright is co-curating the Arts of World War I exhibit opening Nov. 7 at the university’s library, and said he knew there was one item in the Special Collections and University Archives collections he “just had to use. But there’s only

one problem: I have no idea who it actually belonged to.” The diary contains approximately 130 sketches and drawings ranging from caricatures to sombre images of trench art. The varied scenery implies J.M. was likely a soldier, possibly an officer, as one sketch depicts officers reclining in a train where lower ranked soldiers would likely not have had access. “There’s a very detailed sketch in the first volume of an officer’s quarters, called the Little Grey Home in the Wet,” said Lara Wilson, director of UVic Special Collections. Another clue to J.M.’s identity are watercolour paintings of the Royal Horse and Royal Field Artillery emblems, which are both British Army units. Photo by Repository: UVic Archives & Spec “The images are primar- A sketch from mystery illustrator J.M.’s ily from France and Bel- World War I Sketchbook collection, SC325.

gium, and specifically in the areas of Ypres and Menin,” Wilson said. The images are striking both for their quality and their variety, she said. There are grim, realistic sketches of bodies strewn across fields with burning farmhouses in the background. Other images depict caricatures of senior officers or the everyday happenings of soldiers in the trenches. “I think J.M. is somebody who’s trying to get across different aspects of war,” Milwright said. “There’s what you might expect – images of death and destruction – but he’s also trying to get across some of the humour and absurdity of warfare as well. There are some caricatures that aren’t unkind, but he does reserve his most biting images when it comes to senior figures of authority. I do get the sense he was not particularly

impressed by the people at the top.” Wilson has no record of where the diary came from, only that it was purchased from a private seller. UVic Libraries has been trying for to solve the mystery for years as well, and experts hope the First World War centennial will spark new leads. Milwright’s theory is it was sold by a family member, possibly through an estate sale following the death of J.M.’s daughter. “I think this was an educated person,” Wilson said. “Somebody with some training, who would have had access to these materials.” Arts of World War I runs Nov. 7 to March 3 at the UVic Library exhibition space and is open to the public. The sketches can also be viewed online at bit.ly/1yzCLAv. Anyone with information about the identiy of J.M. or Adele M. or the origin of the diary is asked to contact Milwright at mmilwrig@ uvic.ca. editor@saanichnews.com

“We need genuine, roundtable discussion, people sitting together and coming up with ideas right at the beginning,” said Helps, the founder of Community Micro Lending. Rob Duncan’s campaign is part of Clowns Against Child Poverty — a public awareness campaign dedicated to “talking about the unacknowledged and unaddressed crisis of child poverty in our community.” Duncan is a self-described social scientist. Shebib is approaching the

campaign from well outside of the mainstream and he knows it. He ran a similar campaign in 2011 in Victoria and Saanich and garnered only 161 and 173 votes, respectively. He didn’t get any campaign contributions and he didn’t report any expenses. And like the last time, he says he’s not planning on attending any candidate forums in any jurisdiction.

Shebib wants to be mayor in all 13 municipalities Steven Heywood Black Press

Don’t expect David Shebib to remain in power very long if, by some outside chance, he is elected mayor. It’s an outside shot at the mayor’s chair because he’s registering – or had plans to do so – to run in all 13 Greater Victoria municipalities. Shebib is approaching the campaign from well outside of the mainstream and he knows it. He ran a similar campaign in 2011 in Victoria and Saanich and garnered only 161 and 173 votes, respectively. He didn’t get any campaign contributions and he didn’t report any expenses. And like the last time, he says he’s not planning on attending any candidate forums in any jurisdiction. Shebib, who said he’s a member of the Garden Party, said he

would only stay in office for a month-and-a-half. Presumably, that would give him enough time to dismantle local governments and force citizens to live in a state of self-governance. “I am like the government already,” he told the Victoria News in an interview. “I could never have any more power than I do right now.” Shebib said too many people have vested interests in the current political system. His ideas include declaring autonomy from government – not just amalgamating the 13 municipalities into one. On amalgamation, Shebib said that just doesn’t go far enough. “The whole process is one of delay. To go faster, one vote changes everything. “Government is supposed to be there to serve the people, to adapt to the people and to the

environment,” he said, adding he would like to see all candidates from every municipality get together in one place to talk about who they are and what they stand for. “Then we could all see what they’re made of.” Shebib’s Facebook page outlines his priorities, from massive gardening projects and adding colour to police uniforms, to “acceptance of the extent of municipal debt, to making crack illegal. He says he runs what is known as the Garbage Guru free store on West Saanich Road in Saanich. Shebib has ran unsuccessfully in nearly a dozen elections – municipal, provincial and federal – since the late 1970s. He was arrested during the 2011 election campaign by B.C. Sheriffs Services officers for failing to appear in court to face a $100 ticket he received for “improper use of wash down” at the Hartland landfill. – with files from Kyle Slavin

OUR VIEW

Social media already plays role in election Facebook and other social media have played supporting roles in the last few elections, but the 2014 municipal election may be the first where they can be seen to have a direct effect on the outcome. It’s already had a direct effect on one young aspirant to the mayor’s chair in another community, who declared his intention to run Friday morning and withdrew Friday evening, after some inappropriate Facebook posts he made last year came to light. That’s a lesson learned for the young man, and one way social media Voters need has already affected the outcome of the Nov. 15 to be aware municipal election. There will certainly be of what’s others. being passed People are talking about off as fact on the change they want to see in politics using these the Internet platforms, which is a good thing and will make them a force on Nov. 15. Still, watching the discussion on social media, you see how often opinion gets substituted for fact, and how fast discussions get hijacked or devolve into personal attacks and other forms of abuse. The lesson here for voters, as social media becomes evermore a source of political information free from checks and balances, is to do your own research. As with all information that comes your way in life, fact-check and examine the source supplying it before deciding if it’s reliable, especially when using it to decide where to make your mark on a ballot. Most importantly, never vote based on someone else’s beliefs and judgements. Learn to separate opinion from fact, and remember that even the most well-meaning people may be sharing inaccurate information. What do you think?

the Tsilhqot’in ruling is unique. It’s unlikely to be repeated by most other First Nations, even if they are willing and able to spend the years and millions to enrich lawyers in pursuit of it. Here’s the bad news. As of this year, the B.C. Treaty Commission has paid out $627 million to First Nations to support treaty negotiations. Most of that is in the form of loans, which are to be repaid out of the cash settlements that Ottawa contributes to settle modern treaties. Pierre acknowledges that some communities are close to completing treaties, but their debt has climbed to near what Ottawa is offering. This would leave them free but broke. Others are just “spinning their wheels” with no real hope of achieving a treaty, Pierre said. The commission is calling for an “exit strategy” for these communities, starting with loan forgiveness that would allow them to pursue economic activity. There are First Nations, Westbank and Osoyoos prominent among them, which are thriving without treaties. Haida and Klahoose have developed successful forest products businesses as they move toward self-government. Federal and provincial governments must recognize the successes, and the failures. ••• Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

LETTERS Tom Fletcher fails to do his homework (Letters, Oct. 1) Victoria city councillor Ben Isitt claims that “the people of Victoria have asked me to ... advocate to the provincial and federal governments on issues they care about that impact our community.” Coun. Isitt was our designated neighbourhood liaison for Fairfield-Rockland last year when I wrote him a number of emails expressing grave concern about atmospheric geoengineering (popularly called ‘chemtrails’) over the skies of Victoria and the Capital Regional District. As a Victoria-born classically trained

artist and historian, I assured the councillor that the strange shapes and lurid sunset colours of the skies in Victoria and the CRD are ahistorical and unnatural. I asked Coun. Isitt to pay more attention to this alarming aerial spraying activity, to study the science and governance of it, to request research aid from City Hall’s sustainability strategy planners if need be, to then report back to the Council and the CRD on this alarming assault on our health, to determine what, if anything, council and CRD can do to stop it. I waited a whole season and got no real answers from the busy councillor. I then publicly addressed the whole Council on the matter in the

fall last year for the allotted five minutes, after having found his research capabilities and his disinterest in public health severely deficient. I am still waiting for answers about the science and governance of chemtrails geoengineering from Coun. Isitt, the City of Victoria and the Capital Regional District, and I am quite sure I am not the only one. Gregory Hartnell Victoria

Sewage treatment plan divided by east and west The newest sewage treatment tactic divides the region into east and west. Capital Regional District directors approved a new framework to gauge the value of subset wastewater treatment options at a meeting last week. This new framework gives Core Area Liquid Waste Management Plan participants the opportunity to have subcommittees, or work individually with the support of CRD staff, to develop and evaluate treatment options for their communities. Colwood, Esquimalt, Langford, View Royal, and the Songhees Nation make up a west side subcommittee to work with CRD

staff and a technical working group to develop a sub-regional wastewater treatment plan. “That subcommittee will begin to review options that they might consider for those four municipalities in terms of a subregional wastewater treatment plan,” said Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen after the meeting. “That opens the way for us to do the same on the east side: Oak Bay, Victoria and Saanich. We’ve already started down that path so yesterday was just the formalization of the west side. We have a working group of chief administrative officers who have had a number of meetings and have begun looking at the issue of what would an east side

plan look like.” In August, council asked staff to begin discussions with the municipality of Saanich and City of Victoria to collectively come up with a “Plan B.” Subcommittees will report to the Core Area Liquid Waste Management Committee and CRD board and will be supported by CRD staff. “This will be a very long process. We’re only in the infancy of what we might study,” Jensen said. “When you look at what happened last time … from 2006 to when a contract was tendered was eight years. So a process that complicated in nature is very significant time wise.” editor@vicnews.com

possess child pornography in Canada, it is increasingly acceptable, accessible, and freely available,” the CWL said in announcing the campaign. “Today, any child with unrestricted Internet access is just a mouse click away from viewing, either intentionally or accidentally, sexually explicit material. Pornography is one of the biggest threats to our children’s online safety.” The government launched the National Strategy for the Protection of Children from Sexual Exploitation on the Internet in 2004, partnering with cybertip.ca to operate the national tipline and conduct public awareness and education.

Campaign launched against pornography Victorians are urged to join the fight against pornography this October by wearing white ribbons of support, and urging government to continue efforts to bring stronger penalties to people who commit offenses against children. Through the month, the 16 Catholic Women’s League of Canada Councils of the Victoria Diocese will wear ribbons and promote the issue with government through letters and postcards. The group’s previous initiatives against child pornography included a 2003 resolution urging the federal government to expedite implementation of a national strategy to eliminate computer-based child pornography and to increase funding to help law enforcement agencies enforce it. “Although it is illegal to produce, distribute or

The Bra Lady Is Coming to Town

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra. Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in. Due to overwhelming response to the previous clinic, Barbara Chapman is coming to VICTORIA, TUES. OCTOBER 28Th AND WED. OCTOBER 29Th to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly.

Happy Thanksgiving

“Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.”

David Williams and Georgina Williams and Tim James enjoy an early Thanksgiving meal at Our Place on Thursday. Local politicians rolled up their sleeves to dish out a full meal of turkey, potatoes, garden vegetables and all the trimmings.

Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

You can sign up for Chapman’s bra clinic by calling

She doesn’t come into town very often so she advises booking as soon as possible.

Women in Victoria who have experienced violence, trauma, abuse and neglect have the opportunity to go to a safe place to get support from a local women’s centre, Bridges for Women Society. Tomorrow (Oct. 16), Bridges for Women is opening its doors to the public to create awareness about the work they do for women in Greater Victoria. “We really wanted to create an opportunity for our donors, our prospective students and community members to be able to come into Bridges and get the experience of what happens for the clients when they come here,” said Victoria Pruden, executive director of Bridges for Women. Bridges for Women offers a six-month employment program, preparing women for the workforce, trauma counselling and mentoring, among other programs. “Our typical client is a woman that is in recovery from having left an abusive relationship,” said Pruden. “In some ways the experience of being abused is holding

them back.” Through the various programs and counselling, Pruden said there is always a huge transformation that takes place in the women. “By the time they leave the program, they’re ready to either go out and get work or go back to school.” The open house will be a chance for people to get a behind-the-scenes look of what goes on at Bridges for Women. “We are an agency that deals with safety concerns, so often times our offices are closed to protect the clients who are coming here, so this is a chance for people to come here and check it out in a safe and fun way,” said Pruden. At the open house there will be food, refreshments, music and door prizes. There will also be an opportunity to meet some of the society’s staff and students. Bridges for Women is a not-forprofit society and relies on community donations and fundraising. Donations can be made in person at 320-1175 Cook St. or online at bridgesforwomen.ca. The open house takes place Oct. 16 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. editor@vicnews.com

Victoria Hospice’s youngest fundraiser: 4-day-old Adilynn OH, BABY, BABY … Four-day-old Adilynn, the newborn daughter of Justin and Kim Clews, became Victoria Hospice’s youngest fundraiser in its history. The tiny tot attended a golf tournament organized by her parents that raised more than $16,000. The annual Clews Charity Golf Tournament was held at Uplands Golf Club on Sept. 24. Born almost three weeks early, it seems clear that Adilynn didn’t want to miss the big event and is destined to become an avid golfer like her parents. A bit bleary-eyed from their disrupted sleep schedule, mom and dad brought Adilynn to greet the golfers for the tee off.
