Saanich students Skype with astronaut Hadfield International Space Station Commander Chris Hadfield visits SMUS Monday Travis Paterson News staff

Science ruled the day, but music had its moment as more than 500 senior students of St. Michaels University School enjoyed a 30-minute Skype session with retired Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield on Monday. Hadfield came to national fame when he used social media to document and connect with Canadians during his six-month term on the International Space Station from December 2012 to May 2013.

He completed the term as Commander of the Space Station. “It was crazy to be able to talk to him face to face, having already seen so much of him in video,” said Grade 11 student Sarah Jones, one of six students to ask Hadfield questions. “He’s a pretty important guy, it was intimidating so it was nice to be third to ask him questions and hear him talk to us for a couple of minutes first.” Jones asked a series of music questions, knowing Hadfield’s musical pedigree goes beyond the 2013 Youtube video of himself playing an acoustic version David Bowie’s Space Oddity. The video has 25 million views. Among his responses, Hadfield extolled the developmental importance of learning music at a young age. He also talked about

ORAL SURGERY CROWN & BRIDGE ❙ IMPLANT PLACEMENT ❙ SINGLE VISIT ROOT CANAL ❙ ORAL & I.V. SEDATION ❙ LED WHITENING ❙ CHILD FRIENDLY ❙ ❙

the challenges of playing music in space. “It’s not what you think, the guitar floats, it takes some getting used to, it’s almost like standing on your head and trying to play, but once you relearn it’s fine,” Hadfield told the class. The inspiration of seeing Earth from orbit was a constant theme in Hadfield’s answers, including music writing. His biggest challenge was finding time to write and record the vocal and guitar portions of his upcoming album while on the Space Station. “Not a lot of down time for an astronaut in space, go figure,” he said. “Every few days I’d get an hour, and that was it, I’d record a song using GarageBand on my iPhone.” Hadfield also has plans to perform with the Vancouver Symphony next year.

Unbeknownst to him, Hadfield’s presence was omnipresent as he loomed over the SMUS assembly, projected onto a 20-foot screen high above the room. In actuality, Hadfield saw only the face of the student asking him questions, as the laptop camera sat in the middle of the SMUS gymnasium. Ironically, while Hadfield answered questions about the evolution of science and technology, and their effect on the future of humanity, he appeared to be sitting in a 1970s-era living room with faux-wood paneling. Turns out it was his parents’ house in Ontario. PlEASE SEE: Chris Hadfield Page A5

Two-year council wait gets Saanich girl’s goat Eleven-year-old wants to permit mini goats Travis Paterson News staff

Eleven-year-old Jillian McCue has waited two years to state her case for domestic goats in Saanich, and now she’s finally got her chance. Jillian was scheduled to deliver a well-prepared Powerpoint presentation to Saanich Council on Monday night. Her goal is to relax agricultural bylaws and allow goats as pets in the District of Saanich. “I put a petition together two years ago with 132 names from my neighbourhood and Saanich, including Gordon Head-Oak Bay MLA Andrew Weaver (who I found out is a neighbour),” said Jillian, a Grade 6 student at Gordon Head middle school. “I submitted it to Saanich but I didn’t hear back about it until now.” When Mayor Richard Atwell learned about the submission he contacted the McCue family and visited to offer advice and explain how council will work. With Jillian leading the charge, Atwell was expected to put forward a motion on Monday for Saanich staff to prepare a report on the feasibility of allowing pet goats.

“I was in California a few years ago when we visited a friend with pygmy goats, that’s when I first wanted one,” said Jillian, who visited Beacon Hill Children’s Farm last week to enquire about the necessary fence height. “At first I kept researching them to prove to my parents I could manage one – if I can convince Saanich to allow miniature goats in our backyards it will prove to my parents I will be responsible.” Among the benefits of goats are the fertilizer they produce, the fact they eat invasive species such as Himalayan blackberries, and their adaptability as pet companions. Jillian is seeking a ruling similar to that of Seattle, which passed a 2007 bylaw to allow pygmy, dwarf and miniature goats in urban backyards. The negatives are more assumption than anything, she added. “People assume the noise and smell of goats will be bothersome but it’s not true,” she said. “You have to wash your hands after you pet them but that’s not unlike any animal.” The Seattle Animal Shelter told the Saanich News in 2013 that they were unaware of a single complaint relating to smelly or noisy goats. Seattle’s backyard goat bylaw required that the animals be licensed, neutered and dehorned to be kept. Allowing backyard goats

opens another door to urban farming. Saanich revisited its rules around chickens in 2010. Backyard hens may be kept so long as they’re registered with Saanich. “I would only get one or two goats, depending on how the first one gets along with my dog, because I would want it to have a companion,” Jillian said. reporter@saanichnews.com

From Jillian McCue’s presentation to council n “Council should allow miniature goats in Saanich back yards for numerous reasons, one of which is because they are good for the environment. They allow homeowners to reduce their use of lawn mowers and weed whackers as goats happily and quietly eat grass, and even invasive plants like blackberry bushes and ivy. ...They also provide owners hormone-free and antibioticfree milk, as well as non-smelly manure that is great fertilizer for gardeners, reducing their use of fossil fuel-based fertilizers. Finally, allowing goats in our back yards will help us fulfill part of our Saanich community plan, which states that we are striving to become “a model sustainable community and steward of the environment.”

Travis Paterson/News staff

Grade 6 Gordon Head middle school student Jillian McCue is pushing Saanich council to call for a bylaw amendment permitting mini goats as pets. She visited the Beacon Hill Children’s Farm last week to enquire about fence heights.

Cloverdale Traditional school to get earthquake upgrade Cloverdale Traditional elementary students will spend next year at Richmond elementary as their school undergoes seismic upgrading. The Ministry of Education and the Greater Victoria School District announced last week they have signed a project agreement to bring Cloverdale Traditional elementary school up to the latest seismic safety standards. As with many other seismic upgrade projects in Victoria, Cloverdale students will be bussed to the vacant Richmond elementary School for the 2015-16 school Edith Loring-Kuhanga, Greater year to allow for the work to be done at their “home” school. Victoria School District.

“On behalf of the students, parents and staff of Cloverdale Traditional elementary school, we are extremely pleased that the Ministry of Education is following through with the seismic upgrade of another one of our schools in the Greater Victoria School District,” said Edith Loring-Kuhanga, Greater Victoria School District board chair. Richmond elementary is a “swing school” that has previously housed students while seismic work was carried out at Quadra elementary. This year, students from George Jay elementary are attending Richmond elementary

Cheryl Beach, project director of Community Care Initiatives for Continuing Health Services at Island Health, and CanAssist software developer Nathanael Kuipers demonstrate the tablet used in the Wandering Deterrent System.

Technology supports clients to stay safely in their homes Island Health is collaborating with the University of Victoria’s CanAssist program and Centre on Aging on a project aimed at improving safety and supporting independence for Home and Community Care clients. Innovative technology has already helped an Islander in his 80s remain living at home despite his occasional inclination to wander at night due to dementia. The effectiveness of the Wandering Deterrent System is being evaluated for possible use by other clients with similar needs. “We have a lot of people with dementia on the Island and wandering is a problem for a lot of them. Wandering is a behavior that puts the client at risk of harm and causes caregiver stress,” said Cheryl Beach, project director of Community Care Initiatives at Island Health. Approximately 40 per cent of Island Health’s Home and Community Care clients have a diagnosis of dementia. The proportion is among the highest in Canada. “We are looking for ways to better support families and caregivers,” Beach said. The Wandering Deterrent System is designed so that if someone is confused about the time and prepares to go out in the middle of the

night, a motion detector is triggered as the client approaches the front door. This signals a computer tablet mounted by the door to flash the message: “Stop. It’s night time. Go back to bed!” Messages can be customized to make the communication more effective. The tablet also has the ability to play a video of the client’s family member providing the client re-direction. The video system has not been implemented yet, but Island Health is looking for new clients to trial it with. The Wandering Deterrent System provides a cost-effective option to having a care worker stay overnight in the home or having the client move to a care facility. CanAssist Engineering Manager Leo Spalteholz said the system uses readily accessible technology that is adapted with software programs to suit the unique circumstances of the individual. “It’s so rewarding that we can apply technology that fits into the specific needs of individuals and allows them to go on with their lives independently,” Spalteholz said. “This technology has the potential to help many people facing similar challenges.” editor@saanichnews.com

Chris Hadfield “It’s sort of surreal to see him like that, no spacesuit, just a regular guy in his parents’ house, it’s inspiring,” said Grade 10 student Lucas Simpson. Simpson threw science questions at Hadfield, wondering how the astronaut saw the impact of the last 200 years of science and technology innovation on humans. “I thought about the negative implications of human civilizations, and I kind of made that up on the spot because I thought he might say the technology innovations of the past 200 years have been a misguided path, but he didn’t,” Simpson said. While Hadfield said it isn’t sustainable, he pointed to the evolution of humanity through science. “We need to generate enough electricity to make the world sustainable, it’s of enormous benefit for our species, and we need democratization of intellect,” Hadfield said. “It’s important to have a longer-term view. Coming back from space, having gone around Earth 100 times and seeing it’s resiliency, I’m optimistic about humanity on Earth.” reporter@saanichnews.com

OUR VIEW

The case for scientific freedom Federal public scientists want the protection of their right to speak freely enshrined in their collective agreements. First of all, before we get into anything, let’s take a moment to remember that freedom of speech is their right as citizens of a democracy and specifically their rights as Canadians. But aside from that, there is a great public interest in government-paid or funded scientists being able to exercise their right to freedom of speech. There is some room for confidentiality in the process of disseminating information by scientists who are specifically hired to find out the truth of things. You can’t have them just blasting their mouths off. The same standards of accuracy, honesty and corroboration should apply to their opinions as they do to their research and the publicizing of that research. But as the ultimate employer of these scientists, the taxpayers own their research and therefore have a right to know everything about it. They answer to the citizens of this country, not to the politicians. Truth in science is more important today than ever. We here on the West Coast know that as well as anybody as we weigh conflicting claims regarding crucial fish science and the environment. We need to be able to depend on our taxpayer-funded scientists to tell us what the facts are. The Stephen Harper Conservatives have done a disservice to the citizens of this country by muzzling scientists and hacking scientific research to bits. The information researchers uncover belongs to us and our public scientists need to feel safe enough to express their informed opinions. What’s more, publicly-funded science should be neutral and unbiased. No corporate interference is acceptable. This is not science for sale. It’s science for the public good. What do you think?

tion and royalties beyond the election cycle. With that in hand, their obstacles remain federal environmental approval and a revenue sharing deal with a First Nation to host a terminal. Pacific Northwest CEO Michael Culbert notes that answers to questions posed by the Lax Kw’alaams First Nation were submitted to federal regulators only days before they started voting on a $1 billion share of LNG proceeds over 40 years. The vote was a resounding no, despite a redesign that put pipelines on a suspension bridge over the most sensitive salmon habitat. Culbert suggests that given some time to examine environmental mitigation work, that answer may change. Does aboriginal title offer a veto over projects like this? According to the recent Supreme Court of Canada decision on the Tsilhqot’in case, the short answer is no. Objections could be overridden if governments determine a project is in the interest of the greater public. Talks have taken place with 19 First Nations affected by pipelines and facilities, and 14 have agreed. While they continue with Lax Kw’alaams and other Tsimshian Nations on the coast, it’s worth recalling that others are not so reluctant. The Nisga’a Nation has identified four sites as suitable for LNG terminals with a shorter pipeline route to the coast than Prince Rupert. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

(Re: Leonard takes helm at ALC, Saanich News, May 20, 2015) In my judgement it is not proper to appoint persons who’ve recently had a power role in a municipal government to commissions like the ALC, because of possible conflict of interest with positions they took in the role. In the case of Frank Leonard specifically, his claim that he supported the viability of farming is contradicted by his behaviour against farmers trying to improve their land – such as in Panama Flats which remains fallow years later, and Saanich’s actions against small areas that the ALC long ago identified as not viable due to poor soil and proximity to houses. Frank Leonard should not have accepted appointment to the ALC at this time. If he doesn’t change his mind, ethical behaviour would be to avoid all discussion of land in Saanich for five years.

Letter illustrates district’s funding challenges The letter sent by School District No. 61 (Greater Victoria) to Minister of Education Peter Fassbender is likely to be quietly filed away in his office. But because it was printed in Black Press community newspapers last week, it will get the attention it deserves from citizens who care about quality public education. It is a very meaningful letter because it informs us of the challenges that our public school district faces each year, and addresses Minister Fassbender’s assertion that “public school underfunding is a myth.” It also addresses Premier Clark’s assertion that there is still “low

hanging fruit to pick.” The letter carefully outlines the findings of the district-wide survey and it is impressive that all of the district’s partner groups were involved in the survey, and signed the letter. Each June, like all school board trustees around the province, our trustees must submit a balanced budget and they do so. But this letter to Minister Fassbender clearly outlines the consequences of funding shortfalls in our school district, particularly for those special-needs students who require one-on-one attention to be successful learners in our schools.

‘Due diligence’ missed in farmland comments (Re: Don’t complain about what was already there, Saanich News letters, May 22, 2015) If Mr. Puddy had done his due diligence he would have found that Saanich’s Gordon Head Local Area Plan has supported developing the property at 1516 Mt. Douglas Cross . for about 25 years. Also, the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) has supported the removal of this property from the ALR for about that long as well. The reason? It makes no sense to have small 4.4 acre property stay in the ALR when it is surrounded by residential homes, and is not viable for commercial crop production. This is the kind of information people use to make buying decisions. When people make uninformed statements before doing their due diligence, as Mr. Puddy has, it’s just plain silly.

Pacific Northwest LNG president Michael Culbert said he is pleased that the province has agreed to legislate a project development agreement.

NDP objects to conditions for Petronas

Three ways to go blue

Premier Christy Clark and officials of B.C.’s largest liquefied natural gas project are moving ahead with legal restrictions that the NDP says may tie the hands of future governments to change tax and royalty revenue from the industry. Petronas-led Pacific Northwest LNG and the B.C. government signed agreements last Wednesday to ship LNG from the port of Prince Rupert to Asia. They include rules for a long-term royalty agreement that Clark said provides the stability and certainty the company needs to make a $36-billion investment. Legislation yet to be passed would put limits on increases to B.C.’s carbon tax, LNG income tax and natural gas tax credits

available to investors. NDP leader John Horgan said the agreements appear to give the investors what they need, but lack job guarantees and assurances that if the natural gas price improves, B.C. taxpayers will receive an adequate share of the resources they own. “My biggest concern is that we’re tying the hands of future governments because a desperate government made commitments that they over-promised on and now they want to get a deal at any cost,” Horgan said. Pacific Northwest LNG president Michael Culbert said he is pleased the province has agreed to legislate a project development agreement, if Petronas and its investment partners agree to the terms later this year. Pacific Northwest LNG hit a

roadblock in recent weeks with a vote by the Lax Kw’alaams First Nation to reject the port site at Lelu Island, despite revenue sharing totalling more than $1 billion over 40 years of LNG shipments. Colbert said answers to the community’s questions about changes to the project to protect Flora Bank, a shallow bed used by young salmon, were presented to the Canadian Environment Assessment Agency the day before Lax Kw’alaams members began voting. Clark said there have been agreements reached with 14 of 19 aboriginal communities along the pipeline route, and she is confident that differences can be worked out with the rest, including the Lax Kw’alaams. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Deadline to nominate your favourite teachers is May 31

With grade-school education such an integral part of our society, it seems everyone either knows a current teacher or has memories of a special educator who made school more interesting or maybe took extra time to help them learn. As we head into the final week for nominations in the second annual Black Press/ Staples Great Teachers program, we’re asking readers to consider putting forward the names of those people currently teaching – in public or private school – who you believe are deserving of special recognition for their efforts. Christian Arbez, Thrifty Foods director of marketing, knows well the work grade school teachers do to make the day-to-day learning environment more interesting and engaging. His sister is an elementary school teacher in Burnaby who routinely spends extra hours in the classroom, as well as evenings and weekends, to ensure she’s able to impact her students’ learning. “I’m really proud of the work she does,” he says. “Every year it’s like she gets a new ‘family’ coming in. She pours a lot of herself into her job, and that’s how I relate to this campaign.” Arbez says it’s for reasons like those that Thrifty Foods is glad to partner with Black Press in Great Teachers.

the idea of recognizing enthusiastic educators for the work they do and the positive effect they have on young people. “As a parent, I guess you can only do so much – you give them social values – where a teacher would give them more hands-on, practical knowledge or skills,” he says. “I’m glad that they’re being recognized and acknowledged for all the things that they do.” Whether you’ve got children currently in the school system or simply want to see someone who is still teaching recognized for making a difference, it’s easy to do. Simply visit saanichnews.com/contests and click on the Great Teachers icon, where you’ll find instructions. Tell us where your nominee teaches, what grade and why you think they deserve special mention. The nomination period ends at midnight on Sunday, May 31. You’ll be entered for a Thrifty Foods gift card just for doing so. In June, a panel will select one honouree each from the elementary, middle school and high school levels.

Re-defining a place without a space Camosun Community Association back on track ‘for now’ Travis Paterson News staff

All is well for the Camosun Community Association, one of Saanich’s smallest, a month after the past president and board sent out an S.O.S. But it will take time and a community effort to lurch the association forward from its current existence, says

new president Heather Parker. “Our neighbourhood faces a number of challenges but it’s a promising area,” said Parker, who takes over the president role after spending most of the past six years with the association. “We’re healthy, for now.” Parker is also the director of the City Harvest Co-op where she lives on Haultain Street. She knows first-hand that the biggest challenge facing Saanich’s most southerly nook is its identity crisis. Shaped like a cubist panhandle, the Camosun neighbourhood juts out of Saanich into a peninsula surrounded

by Victoria and Oak Bay. Though the neighbourhood is somewhat expansive – it extends north from the Royal Jubilee Hospital to Derby Road and Cedar Avenue through the Shelbourne and Richmond Road corridors – it is without a community gathering place, Parker says. It all leads to a lack of involvement from local residents. “One of the biggest obstacles to having a vibrant community association in this neighbourhood is it doesn’t have a hub available to us.”

Music in the Park will return this season with an eightconcert schedule, thanks in part to an $8,000 grant from the Saanich Legacy Foundation. The non-profit, registered charitable society matched its previous year’s grant to the Music in the Park series and is a key partner in two Saanich projects, the Lambrick Park Beach Volleyball Courts and the Little Spirits Garden at the Royal Oak Burial Park. “The foundation is proud to continue its sponsorship for 2015,” said past-president Fred Haynes. The Saanich councillor stepped down prematurely from his term as SLF president to avoid any conflict, should the SLF approach council for funds. “The Little Spirits Garden is a touching project and we encourage the public to join us in this ongoing campaign,” Haynes said. The garden will preside atop the slope at Royal Oak Burial Park, commemorating the losses of infants and pre-natal children. “We’re in the good position that we’ve allocated our 2015 funding, so we move into a holding pattern for the rest of the year,” Haynes said. “Unfortunately it also means we’re unable to assist anyone else.” Last year the 16-year-old foundation granted funds to the Strawberry Festival and LimeLight, the Victoria Therapeutic Riding Association, Alpine Victoria, Success by Six, Ballet Victoria and the Coffee for Kids program, which helps children and families in the Dominican Republic with medical care, clothing and other supplies. The numbers aren’t certain yet, but SLF is a considerable player in helping create the new four-court Lambrick Park Beach Volleyball Court project at Lambrick Park secondary. The complex is still awaiting it’s final approval but looks to be on track. “The sand will come from the de-commissioned outdoor courts at UVic’s Ian Stewart Complex and is extremely

Rankings confirm far-reaching impact of UVic research The University of Victoria is a national leader among the world’s top tier of universities in terms of scientific influence, according to newly released international rankings. In the prestigious Leiden rankings, produced annually by the Centre for Science and Technology Studies at Leiden University in the Netherlands, UVic places third in Canada for overall scientific impact and first in the country in two broad fields – mathematics and computer science and physical sciences and engineering. Last year, UVic was fourth in Canada overall and second in math, computer science and engineering. The Leiden rankings measure the scientific performance of 750 world-leading universities, focusing exclusively on citation impact and scientific

collaboration. Citations measure how influential a researcher is over time. UVic is the top Canadian university without a medical school in four of Leiden’s five ranking categories, notes Dr. David Castle, UVic’s vice-president research. “Medical schools and their associated research hospitals tend to generate high research intensity, so for UVic to rank so well speaks volumes about the quality, reach and impact of our research.” Among the 750 universities worldwide, UVic is in 116th place for global impact in all sciences, up from 183rd place in 2014. It ranks 46th in math and computer science, and 71st in physical sciences and engineering. The rankings also highlight UVic’s global perspective. UVic researchers publish

a higher proportion of research based on international partnerships than any other Canadian university. The Leiden results reinforce another ranking of field-specific

scientific leadership released last month. The QS World University Subject Rankings, which rely on academic and employer reputation surveys, rated UVic among the world’s

He started a restaurant there a few years ago before adding locations in Courtenay and Saanich. “At first many feel we are a niche restaurant catering to only vegans and at first, we did get a large response from the vegan community but as has happened in all our restaurant locations, we appeal to the entire community,” Hadikin said. Rawthentic’s goal is to serve fast, healthy meals and the response has been strong. The juiced smoothies pack a flavourful nutrient-blast of fruits and vegetables, zingy sauces put the sandwich wraps onto the next level, and the feature meals open a door to another realm where zucchini noodles are the perfect base for a comfort food pasta. and Rawthenic has asked to cater several healthy living events and office lunches. Needless to say, Rawthentic’s customer base is diverse. “We get people who eat traditional fast food for lunch two or three times and then fit in a visit to our restaurant to get their healthy fix,” Hadikin said. “I really enjoy the conversations I have with our vegan and non-vegan customers alike. I try to help customers with questions but am always excited when I learn something from them as well.” Rawthentic Eatery is located at 108 – 4440 West Saanich Rd.

Modern unrest a reminder of our shameful past A

s we get longer in the tooth how often do we find ourselves grousing: What’s the world coming to? In my case, too often. My dotage-inspired generational disconnect usually kicks in when the evening news subjects me to yet another urban riot. It can be hockey hoodlums in Vancouver, anarchists crushing corporate greed in precious Toronto, rampaging residents on the streets of race-torn Baltimore. Regardless of the cause of the made-for-TV riot de jour, I find Brian myself yearning for a gentler time, like the days of our fore fathers when a good job and a picket fence inspired social calm and peaceful co-existence. Ya, right. What am I smoking? I was unceremoniously awakened from this misplaced reverie when I was reminded that May 2015 is the 100th anniversary of one of this nation’s most bizarre and confounding race-inspired riots … and it happened right here on the tranquil streets of Victoria. I was surfing the University of Victoria’s “acitygoestowar.ca” website and read Ashley Forseille’s piece on the “Anti-German Riot of 1915” that followed the Nazi U-boat sinking of the ocean liner Lusitania off the coast of Ireland.

Ashley has an M.A. in Canadian history from UVic and is pursuing a career as an archival technician and researcher. “A City Goes to War” is a UVic project made possible by a Veteran’s Affairs Canada grant. Before the First World War, Victorians largely accepted local Germans. Many were prominent business owners and political figures participating in German Clubs that perpetuated the language and cultural. When conflict in Europe started Germany became Kieran an enemyand of Britain, Victoria residents started viewing their Germans neighbours with hostility. Tensions came to a head on May 8, 1915 after the sinking of the Lusitania. Ashley writes: “What has become known as the Anti-German Riot of 1915 began when a group of soldiers stationed at the Willow’s training camp started breaking windows and mirrors at the German-owned Kaiserhof Hotel. “The Kaiserhof was targeted because the soldiers thought that Victorian Germans had congregated at the hotel bar to celebrate the sinking. The small group of soldiers grew into a large mob that looted a number of German-owned businesses in downtown Victoria until they were dispersed by the police, fire department and

Soldiers stationed at Willows training camp reportedly rioted in Victoria following the sinking of the Lusitania in May of 1915. World War with the Internment of Japanese Canadians following Japan’s invasion of Hong Kong and the attack on Pearl Harbor. The internment, which included confiscation of property, was deemed necessary by Ottawa but was really racism cloaked in the flag. It happened despite evidence supplied by the RCMP and the Department of National Defence that it was unwarranted. So, when I see the next riot on the evening news I will give my head a shake and remind myself it is déjà vu all over again.

military. Further violence continued the following evening when looters once again targeted German businesses culminating in the reading of the Riot Act.” In the months following the riot, the city continued to alienate Germans, causing some to leave for more neutral cities like Seattle. Others were interned in the Interior where they were held for the duration of the war. BC’s resolve to target race during wartime strive reached its zenith during the Second

Too many seniors are going into residential care when they could still be accommodated in assisted living, due to rules that are “outdated and too restrictive,” B.C. Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie says in a new report. The report found a 10-percent vacancy rate for assisted living facilities, meaning space is usually available, at least in urban areas. It calls for a “fundamental redesign” of regulations for registered assisted living, to change spousal eligibility and reduce

the number of higher functioning seniors moving to residential care. More than 90 per cent of B.C. seniors live independently and 80 per cent are homeowners, who should be able to apply for a provincial loan against equity to pay for repairs, the report recommends. “A new roof or the need to fix a dilapidated deck may be a cost that forces a senior out of a house they have loved for decades,” Mackenzie said. “Living in a house that is worth $500,000 or even a million dollars does not mean much if you’re living alone on $24,000 or less, which is the

median income of seniors in B.C., and you can’t find the cash to pay the bills.” Health Minister Terry Lake said he supports the direction of Mackenzie’s 18 recommendations, and the ministry is working on assisted living changes. Some recommendations, such as providing private rooms with ensuite bath for residential care beds, have “wide-reaching implications for health authorities” and require more study, Lake said. Subsidized assisted living is based on 70 per cent of the resident’s net income, with a minimum of $325 left to the resident. Mackenzie

recommends that minimum should increase to $500 to allow more low-income seniors to use assisted living rather than going directly to residential care, where more costs are covered by the province. A survey of B.C. seniors finds 20 per cent are renters, with one in five of those receiving a rental subsidy. Average rents range from a high of $1,038 in Vancouver to $547 in Quesnel, and the report finds that for remote and rural communities, the biggest challenge is not cost but the availability of suitable housing. editor@saanichnews.com

Peer counselling offers clarity Counselling program started 26 years ago Kevin Laird Victoria News

As a realtor for more than 30 years, Lois Dutton learned to listen, counsel and educate both her clients and business associates. So it’s not surprising that when Dutton sold her business she decided to use her skill set to help others. Dutton is a peer outreach counsellor – someone who advises others her age – with Senior Peer Counsellors, a program through Victoria-based Seniors Serving Seniors, a referral agency. Volunteer counsellors provide compassionate listening and encouragement to help people get more in touch with their own feelings, gain a clearer understanding of their situations and difficulties, and make the decisions necessary to solve their own problems. “We try and lead people to see if there is a way out of whatever situation they’re in,” Dutton said of the seniors she counsels.

The peer counselling program began 26 years ago and sees an average of 50 clients a year. All counsellors take an intensive fourmonth training program. Counsellors range in age from 50 to 80. Each counsellor handles about one to two clients. They meet once a week for about a one-hour session, usually at the client’s home. There is a broad range of issues clients will bring to a counselling session from grieving to financial. Oftentimes all a client needs are three or four sessions. Others need a longer commitment. “Sometimes the counselling is like peeling an onion,” Dutton said. “There are layers and layers and we need to look at many issues.” Dutton has been a volunteer counsellor with Senior Peer Counsellors for two years, after stints in similar roles in other organizations. Along with her counselling duties she also interviews potential clients with a suitable counsellor. “It’s not easy [being a counsellor], but it’s very rewarding,” Dutton said. “I think seeing the progress that clients can make is its own reward – seeing them

What is peer counselling? At the heart of senior peer counselling are the beliefs that: n Aging adults gain clarity and are better able to make decisions when they have someone to talk to who genuinely listens to them. n Aging adults are more comfortable talking to those who are close to their age and have had similar life experiences. n Aging adults want to stay in charge of their own lives and make decisions consistent with their own values.

Colquitz brings Aladdin to stage Jennifer Blyth Black Press

It’s been 10 years since teacher Caroline Mackenzie first staged Aladdin at Colquitz middle school. This week, she and 120 students celebrate that milestone as they welcome the community for a re-staging of the Disney favourite. But there’s a second milestone that deserves recognition as well. “It’s kind of a big deal for me. It’s the 10th anniversary of doing this show at Colquitz and it’s the 20th production I’ve done here at Colquitz between the plays and our musicals,” Mackenzie says. In recognition of the 10-year anniversary, Mackenzie, with her cast and crew, will enjoy a reunion Friday night with many of the students from that first production. Continuing the theme, some of those running the technical elements for the Spectrum theatre will also be Mackenzie’s former students. “The first time (Aladdin) was featured with a lot of joy but not a lot of knowledge on my part. Now I know so much more,” Mackenzie reflects. “It’s been wonderful to watch the program grow. Our first production had about 25 kids in it, and each year it has grown and grown. I have not had a cast of fewer than 90 in the last six years,” she says. Key to Mackenzie’s philosophy is to include as many kids as possible in her productions, one of the reasons Aladdin is a great choice, as it offers so many characters and ensemble opportunities. Each main role is double-casted, with actors alternating performance nights. The nights they’re not performing as Aladdin or Jasmine or the Genie, for example, they’re performing in the ensemble. “For me, especially at middle school, I love creating opportunities for kids, opportunities for them to shine and show what they’ve learned. By double casting, I’m able to spread that net a little wider.” Behind the scenes, the stagecraft students are working on the lights, sound-system, sets and backstage management, for a full learning experience. “When you see the kids on stage, they’re loving what they’re doing.” Equally important is the crew of parent volunteers. “They have been really amazing. I can’t do shows like this without them,” Mackenzie says. Fans of the Disney version of the Aladdin story will recognize the story and music, along with a few elements from the Broadway production. “The songs are so infectious, so wonderful to sing,” says Mackenzie. Her own favourite? Probably “‘Friend Like Me’ – that’s the one that goes through my head when I go to sleep at night.” Following Tuesday’s opening at the Spectrum Community School Theatre, Aladdin continues tonight (May 27), Friday and Saturday. Doors are at 7 p.m. with the curtain rising at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $12 Reserve by emailing cperkins@ shaw.ca, then pick them up at the door.

answer: stay green. Focus not on flowers, but foliage. Read a plant’s tag for height and spread, and really look at the leaves. Are they a shape that will work? Glossy or matte? How high will they grow? Evaluate potential acquisitions based not on their three weeks of blooming glory, but on their yearround presence. Picture the plant as a houseguest. Sure, there are those who make great dinner conversation, but will they be there for you in a time of need? If you only have a limited amount of room, wouldn’t you rather invite someone consistently helpful? I’m not advocating complete austerity; that’s impossible for plant people. I’m simply suggesting that when it comes to colourful characters, you’ll be happier if you show some restraint.

UVic leads hunt for expedition answers How could one of the most advanced scientific missions of the 19th century fail so badly? The doomed 1845 Franklin expedition was the equivalent in its time of sending humans to the moon. What happened to the expedition has puzzled historians and the public ever since, and last September’s discovery of the nearly intact hull of one of Franklin’s two ships adds new questions to the mystery. Now schoolchildren and sleuths of every age are invited to help crack this case – one of the coldest cases of all. On June 4 in Ottawa, on the 170th anniversary of the first full day at sea of the British mission to find the Northwest Passage, the University of Victoria will officially launch The Franklin Mystery: Life and Death in the Arctic, the 13th website in the award-winning Great Unsolved Mysteries in Canadian History, a national teaching project used in over 50 countries and by nearly 2,500 students every day. UVic history professor and project co-director Dr. John Lutz says last fall’s

discovery of HMS Erebus “solves one mystery but opens up many more. Why did the crew abandon the ship, or did they? What happened to the other ship, HMS Terror, and its crew? How could both crews with three year’s provisions not survive when the local Inuit could live off the land? Was cannibalism, a part of the Inuit oral testimony, really the unfortunate finale for these men? “This is an ongoing detective story, which is what the Great Unsolved Mysteries is all about.” A project based at UVic’s Department of History and involving a team of historians, archaeologists, educators and other specialists across the country, the ‘whodunit’ approach of Great Unsolved Mysteries breathes new life into old stories of intrigue. History sleuths work with primary historical documents and high-quality interactive teaching materials of, on average, 100,000 words per mystery; crime scene reconstructions, plus activities and historical interpretations by experts; and a webquest-style portal offer-

ing short but powerful lessons for middle and high school students to encourage critical thinking about history. “This project is experiential learning at its best,” Lutz says. “We literally put the magnifying glass into the hands of students, using these 13 websites to help make Canadian history exciting, real and totally engaging. “History is too important to be boring, and these mysteries are too intriguing to be left to historians alone.” For more information, visit www.canadianmysteries.ca

United Way celebrates youth accomplishments Kendra Wong Victoria News

United Way Greater Victoria is celebrating youth and their accomplishments with its annual YouthNow Awards this week at Saanich’s Cedar Hill Recreation Centre. At the 17th annual awards ceremony, United Way will dole out nine awards to youth between the ages of 11 and 29 who are working to better their community. “It’s been really inspiring to see what young people are doing in our community,” said Heather Skydt, communications and marketing director at United Way Greater Victoria. “It’s been great seeing the type of people who come forward and they’re ever inspiring to us at United Way.” The awards include individual volunteer awards for different age categories, the green award, the big change award, the youth worker award, the youth friendly business award, the friendship award and the group volunteer award. Harpreet Bhela is the chair of the YouthNow Council and sits on the committee responsible for selecting the winners.

“Sometimes it gets really difficult to choose someone when you’re like ‘these people are both great’, but it comes down to overall what they’ve done, how many people they’ve helped and how selfless they were,” said Bhela. “It’s important to recognize youth in the community for what they’ve done because if you don’t, no one really knows what’s going on or what someone has done for everyone else around them…it’s nice to let them know ‘thanks so much, you’ve made a difference’.” She added it’s a way to inspire them to give back to the community even more. Past winners include Peyton Gust who worked with the Boys and Girls Club, Ammar Inayatali who organized the World Partnership Walk campaign and Emma Zabloski who volunteered at the Fairfield Gonzales Community Association. Over the past 17 years they’ve had more than 1,000 applicants, many of whom were nominated by family members, teachers or fellow youth workers. The ceremony is Friday (May 29) at the Cedar Hill Recreation Centre, 3220 Cedar Hill Rd. from 6 to 8 p.m. kendra.wong@vicnews.com

Pimlott Bros.’ Royal Oak Grocery store was located on West Saanich Road near the old Municipal Hall. The building still stands today at 4520 West Saanich Rd. One of its current tenants is the a Mike Geric Construction company, which has built several projects in Royal Oak over the past decades and is currently selling units for the Travino, five building residential complex going up on the historic grounds of the original Royal Oak School (which is now in its fifth generation, just east of the Travino). One building east of Pimlott’s Grocery is the Women’s Institute Community Hall, at 4516 West Saanich Rd, while across the street is the second Royal Oak School, now Crumbsy’s. The Women’s Institute bought the Community Hall in 1930, originally built in 1912. The Crumsby’s schoolhouse was built in 1885, replacing the 1863-built original that burned down following an 1883 community dance. The former Saanich Municipal Hall stood at 4512 West Saanich Rd., built in 1911. At the time, the District had 6,026 residents.

Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

Eye and Vision Myths Advice, no matter which way you turn, it’s free for the asking. When it comes to health advice, sometimes it is difficult to determine the difference between right and wrong. Here’s a sampling of most common eye and vision myths: “Don’t wear your glasses so often, you need to exercise your eyes!” Wearing glasses does not weaken your eyes. The only thing that happens when you don’t wear them is that you don’t see as well. AND wearing glasses doesn’t mean you have “weak” eyes, either.

SAANICH NEWS - Wednesday, May 27, 2015

BC Rugby launches Elite Girls’ 7s program Saanich’s female youth rugby players who would like to take their game to the next level have a new opportunity with the new BC high-performance program. The new girls’ program will complement the existing BC Elite Youth 7s boys program, which has achieved tremendous success since its inception in 2010. During that time, the boys’ team has won numerous prestigious international youth 7s rugby tournaments, and produced several national players for Rugby Canada. BC Rugby anticipates the new Elite Girls’ 7s program will be a vital pathway and proving ground for athletes with future National team aspirations. Canada’s women’s 7s team are currently ranked third in the world and this past weekend captured an automatic berth into the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Expectations for the BC Rugby Elite Girl’s 7s will be high from the outset, but an extensive pool of girls will benefit from the new program. “We are incredibly pleased to announce the

implementation of a female-focused 7s program,” said BC Rugby’s CEO, Jim Dixon. The BC Elite Girls’ 7s team will represent B.C. in national and international competitions, and is expected to make its competitive debut at the Victoria International Youth 7s, being held July 10 and 11 at the University of Victoria. “The success of the BC Elite Youth 7s program has acted as a catalyst for this program and I’m sincerely grateful to The Onni Group for supporting BC Rugby with this important performance pathway opportunity,” Dixon said. “It is an excellent development opportunity for young women in our province and we are looking forward to seeing more BC women on our national team.” Having the Onni Group as the principal sponsor of the BC Rugby Elite Girls’ 7s will provide a platform from which the team can build, participate in high‐performance tournaments and secure worldclass coaching and mentorship for the players. A search for a head coach for this program is underway.

Canadian Women’s 7s earn berth to Rio Canada’s Women’s 7s players have booked their spot at the 2016 Olympic Games after securing automatic qualification as one of the top-four teams in the World Rugby Women’s Sevens Series this season. This will mark the first time in history a Canadian women’s rugby team has competed at

the Olympics. By clinching a spot in the Cup Quarterfinals at the Amsterdam Sevens this weekend, after wins over Spain and the Netherlands, Canada ensured a top-four finish in this year’s standings. “I let the team know, we had a quick cheer and hug and now we just want to make sure we finish

the day strong,” said head coach John Tait. With 76 points, Canada is currently tied for second with Australia in this year’s standings. As the sport continues to grow in Canada, Tait is hoping the thought of playing rugby at the Olympics resonates with children across the country.
