Working Wardrobe helps open doors for job hunters Travis Paterson News Staff

If there’s one thing Jeanine Reemst has learned since taking the helm of the employment services program at the Garth Homer Society last year, it’s to give her clients any advantage she can. Even if it’s as simple as setting a bedtime schedule. Which is why adhering to a proper bedtime is one of many additions to the second annual Working Wardrobe, a four-hour workshop on Friday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Garth Homer auditorium. The event is designed to aid Garth Homer’s employment services’ clients, and anyone from the community, who is trying to find work while living with disabilities. “We’re building on the success of last year, adding some really cool components that will help our clients find work and keep that work,” Reemst said. That includes de-stressing, which emphasizes the importance of adhering to a proper bedtime schedule, she added. “It’s just another thing we’ve learned, and we’re learning a lot of little things. People don’t

Tany de Boer and Stephanie Fisher of the Garth Homer Employment Services program are organizing Friday’s Working Wardrobe event in the Garth Homer Society auditorium. realize how much neural activity is happening in the brains of our clients. It’s really high, and they tire out mentally. But instead of going to bed, they’ll

get distracted and stay up late,” Reemst said. There’s also breathing exercises, she said. Working Wardrobe is four

hours of education on subjects such as hygiene, manners in the workplace (eye contact, hand shaking and greetings), and it’s done through a series

of interactive stations. There’s a fashion show, work-appropriate clothes, a nutrition and food station, a man cave, hair tutorials, makeup advice, a manicure station and more. Parkway Dental will present a demonstration on dental hygiene. “There’s so many things to take into consideration, we just want to help the clients plan for success, there’s no better way for them to succeed,” said vocational counsellor Tanya de Boer, who will run a fashion show. “We are so excited to have about seven or eight clients signed up to do a runway and model clothes, they are so proud to do it, it’s going to be a ton of fun,” de Boer added. Having interactive stations is a key aspect of the event’s design, Reemst said. “We provided food in the form of a proper snack and lunch last year, but how much was taken away from that?” she asked. “The clients we’re working with need a tangible, interactive experience and we’re trying to provide that.” The event is open to all Greater Victoria residents with disabilities who are seeking employment, and runs Aug. 21, 10 a.m. at 813 Darwin Ave. reporter@saanichnews.com

Dredging work improves habitat Mount Doug Creek ready for storm surges Travis Paterson News Staff

Travis Paterson/News Staff

Darrell Wick is happy with the progress of the Mount Douglas Creek restoration, at the weir close to Piedmont Street in front of the recently dredged settling pool.

Putting an excavator into an ecosensitive area of Saanich is no easy feat. Considering the emphasis Saanich puts on protecting its trees and riparian areas, it makes the recent project to dredge a settling pool along Mount Douglas Creek a monumental step forward. Sand and sediment removal was completed in July from an area between the weir and a trail that links with Robinwood Drive. It’s part of the ongoing restoration of Mount Douglas Creek, which is now in year four of the five-year plan. “The problem was the sand and sediment was flowing downstream and filling sensitive areas of [Mount

Douglas Creek] closer to Ash Road, where the salmon spawn,” said Darrell Wick, president of the Friends of Mount Douglas Park Society. The excavator dredged out enough sand and sediment to load about eight tandem dump trucks. The debris was hauled out on a temporarily built access road, where a grove of trees were felled. The trees now lay across the former road, which will soon be cleared of invasive species, planted with native species, and nurtured. “In a few years you won’t know this was ever an access road, it’ll be so grown over with natural vegetation,” Wick points out. The new settling pond is much deeper, and about three times the width in one spot. “It’s a collection of storm water from the downspouts of Gordon Head homes and the streets, and the water quality is high, it supports life.” The tandem dump trucks also brought rocks in to shore up the

creek walls. The goal is to protect the lower creek, on both sides of Ash Road, from storm surges. Large boulders are piled up and ready to be installed along the creek on the high side of Ash Road later this season. They’ll protect the creek bed and walls. In May, 35,000 chum fry were held in the weir for two days, gaining an ‘imprint’ for the creek, before being released downstream where they made their way to the ocean. The imprint helps them return to the creek as adults. Later this year the weir will be outfitted with a flow meter to monitor the water levels and storm surges, “We’ll likely have to dredge the settling pond again in a few years,” Wick said. The Pacific Salmon Foundation granted $1,000 towards the flow meter and nearly $10,000 for the upcoming work to armour the banks of the creek near Ash Road.

“We were extremely happy with the supportive and encouraging comments from many of the directors at the PTPS committee meeting,” Kilpatrick said. Dr. Sara Dubois, of the B.C. SPCA, and Kelly Carson, of DeerSafe, also voiced support for the pilot project that includes contraception and a deer count. The fall is ideal as it’s before the ‘rutting,’ or mating season, Kilpatrick said. At this time, UWSS is currently awaiting the appropriate permits. The Deer Plan Oak Bay project would be a leader, and is intended to inform other municipalities in the region as well as the province, Kilpatrick added. “UWSS will determine the efficacy

Deer signs prove popular UWSS has fielded several requests from Saanich residents in response to its sign campaign. The goal of the traffic signs is to alert drivers in deer-travelled areas, and encourage them to slow down. It’s been proven hugely popular, Kilpatrick said. “We’ve had to do a second run of signs and are likely looking at doing a third run, including a number of residents of the Cordova Bay Road and Gordon Head areas.” reporter@saanichnews.com

Resident pitches plan to keep deer in park Travis Paterson

The suggestion that deer are coming down from Mount Douglas Park to Gordon Head neighbourhoods is erroneous, Wick wrote in a letter to council. Mount Douglas area resident Livinia “With all the people in the park, and Rojas has an idea to keep the deer out of their off-leash dogs, and the deer get backyards and in Mount Douglas Park, by planting native, deer-friendly vegetation in scared, they clear out,” Wick said. “Any deer on Mount Doug are the park. probably well away from trails, Rojas presented to Saanich which isn’t a place anyone will council as a delegation of one plant anyways.” on Monday, floating the idea for The Friends of Mount a pilot project, in which Saanich Douglas, in partnership with would fund the purchase and the Saanich Pulling Together planting of deer-friendly plants Program, has spent more than in Mount Douglas Park. 15,000 hours removing invasive Rojas comes at it as an plants from Mount Douglas animal sympathizer who Park and continue to do so on a doesn’t want to see deer getting weekly basis. hurt on Gordon Head roads, Livinia Rojas “Volunteers are welcome she says. to join us every Thursday “Some people seem to think morning,” Wick said.

OUR VIEW

Drug’s antidote must be more readily available The latest rash of overdose deaths sweeping across the country is showing us, once again, that no community is immune to the terrible costs of drug abuse. And once again, it is clearly evident that people have less problems obtaining their drug of choice than receiving help with their addictions. The drug fentanyl has been responsible for hundreds of deaths across the country, with Vancouver police responding to 16 apparent fentanyl overdoses in one day alone earlier this month. And Victoria Police Insp. Scott McGregor says the drug is probably as prevalent here as it is anywhere else. In Victoria, the B.C. coroners office has recorded seven deaths linked to fentanyl since January 2012. Ironically, changes made to the drug OxyContin intended to prevent abuse of the opioid likely led to the rise in the use of fentanyl, which is 20 times more potent. The drug is often passed off as OxyContin or mixed with other street drugs such as heroin. Narcan, an effective antidote to fentanyl overdose, has been supplied to hospitals for decades. It can restore normal breathing and consciousness within three to five minutes of an injection. The problem is that if an overdose occurs in a bathroom or back alley rather than a hospital ER, that help may come too late. In B.C., users can also obtain a takehome kit to have that antidote available when they need it. The kits are available by prescription in dozens of sites around the province including at least two in Victoria. But those kits are only effective if they are readily available, and the prescription-only status is keeping them out of the hands of many users not ready to bring their addiction into the open along with their family members. Health Canada has agreed to review whether Narcan should be made available without a prescription, although the process could take up to 18 months. But that will be too late for hundreds whose lives might hang in the balance. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@saanichnews.com or fax 250386-2624.

economic crisis, offering a 15 per cent tax credit for home improvements between $1,000 and $5,000. This sounds great if you’re a homeowner, but does nothing for renters, drives up the cost of housing in already overpriced urban markets and encourages more consumer debt. Trudeau has promised an additional $2.6 billion over four years for First Nations education on reserves, and accelerated spending on school infrastructure. Mulcair has promised to hold a national inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women. Mulcair and Trudeau both pledge to reverse the Conservative moves to eliminate what’s left of door-to-door mail delivery, and to extend the age of eligibility for the Old Age Security pension from 65 to 67. All of these promises are presented in the most appealing way possible by the parties that promote them, and all involve spending and taxation tradeoffs that the parties would prefer not to discuss. Another possible dividend from a formal campaign stretching more than two months is that more voters will pay attention to the real issues and actually take the time to cast a ballot. If that happens, and the long decline in voter turnout is reversed, it’s a good investment. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

SAANICH NEWS NEWS -- Wednesday, Wednesday, August August 19, 19, 2015 2015 SAANICH

LETTERS Proper planning a priority for sewage treatment project As Capital Regional District citizens we’ve inadequately expressed displeasure with our elected leaders for their failure to resolve a perceived sewage disposal problem. Recently, and in conjunction with his early termination in the now cancelled CRD’s sewage treatment plan, it was confirmed project manager Albert Sweetman will receive a half-million dollar early termination payment. Sweetnam may by some be deemed a failed major-project manager. That would be an unjustified assessment of a proven professional who has a demonstrated history in mining and nuclear projects. It is evident that the CRD sewage disposal concern conflates two closely related but distinct issues. One: the aim for comprehensive treatment of all waste water to the tertiary stage, and two: the (normally) preceding confirmation of a science-based requirement for such complete treatment. With the termination of Sweetnam and the majority of his planning staff, now is the logical time to figuratively wipe the slate clean and this time start with a verification

Privacy issues paramount Officials at Saanich have elevated evading transparency to a high art. Back in January, CFAX’s Ian Jessop submitted a series of questions in an FOI to Saanich regarding Spector 360. The answer to every question came back as “no records found.” I just happened to be talking to one of the clerks at Saanich the day following Ian’s broadcast, and I mentioned that he had been on the air complaining about the lack of information. Suddenly, Ian started getting answers, as did several other people, including me. However, the information was highly redacted, often with outrageous charges attached. A request for two councillors emails for the last 18 months recently came back with “no records found.” Another councillor’s emails were available, but at a cost of hundreds of dollars. Retrieval of electronic records should have no charges attached, according the OIPC BC. The privacy commissioner complained that Saanich officials demonstrated a near total ignorance of privacy legislation. After all the fuss for all these months, they still haven’t learned a thing. As taxpayers, we are paying six-figure salaries to managers whose job it is to understand and implement privacy laws and they still aren’t doing it. Now they are looking to hire another manager, with another six-figure salary, to look after privacy issues. All the while, we have a group of incumbent councillors who are content to pass this “corporate decision” off as a “simple mistake.” When are the citizens of Saanich going to wake up and smell

of need. There is science-based evidence that the receipt of screened sewage offshore in the Strait of Juan de Fuca is a uniquely non-contaminating system. This reality is extensively documented by professionally qualified citizens at Responsible Sewage Treatment Victoria. It’s noted that Dr. Shaun Peck has verified that all water (including the Fraser) that flows into the Georgia/Puget basin drive the residual current that carries Victoria’s dissolved effluent out to the open Pacific. Let’s realize we collectively face a double threat. First, we could all again be embarrassed with the Lazarus-like return of Mr. Floatie, the excrement-costumed activist who champions greater waste-water treatment. More importantly, even with the science-based confirmation of our currently effective system, cancellation by the CRD of its aspirational goal for more expensive sewage treatment may not happen. If, in their collective wisdom, our elected representatives decide our long-term (political) interests lie in upping

the coffee? “Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.” -G.B. Shaw Bob Etheridge Saanich

No benefit to parking ban As an invasive species volunteer in Mt. Doug Park, I have used Glendenning Road at least a thousand times in the last five years. Never once did I find the road blocked due to side-road parking. In addition, in my almost 10 years working on invasive species, there has never been a fire in the south end of the park. Yet the new parking ban inconveniences the physically activities of literally thousands of park visitors a year – for no benefit. The parking ban is a costly imposition to a non-existent problem. And the ban is only the latest in a ongoing series of poor decisions by Saanich. Unless and until voters sanction a major housecleaning of Saanich council and senior management, we can expect these ill-considered decisions to continue. But until then, if you enjoy the park, communicate with council and the fire chief to express your opposition to the parking ban. And ask the mayor to add the issue to the council agenda, so that all interested residents can present to the matter. Speak loud and clear, because unless you do, it’s not going to change. Dave Poje Saanich

our sewage-treatment game, let’s hope the recent costly project-management errors are not repeated. With Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps recently noting that “project staff were hired before the project was 100 per cent sewn up,” there is a glimmer of light on the project planning horizon. Let’s hope Mayor Helps is referring to the realization she and her elected CRD colleagues now understand the need to define (along a critical path) task sequencing and approval levels for a major project. The CRD’s own professional engineers certainly have the training and background (and the project-management software) needed to initiate and track early-stage CRD sewage project planning initiatives. If the political decision is to opt for more sewage treatment, let’s hope our CRD elected leaders follow Mayor Helps in her determination to not proceed (with expensive early-stage commitments) until we have a project that’s 100 per cent solid. Ron Johnson Saanich

Vote a vehicle for change In the Aug. 12 issue of the Saanich News I read the letter to the editor from Gordon Rowland and agree wholeheartedly with his comments. Because of the awkward question on amalgamation put forth by the previous council, there was no alternative to respond to a wide study on various forms of amalgamation other than to vote Yes. In spite of the large majority of residents indicating their approval of moving forward on this issue, the incumbents continue to make Saanich council appear to be a dysfunctional body. Perhaps they did not get the message that people voted for change. The only other issue could be that not enough change occurred on election day. I feel quite certain that if the incumbents continue with their obstructionist behaviour that a much bigger change will take place next election. Jim Griffith Saanich

Distracted driving costly I could not agree more with Paul Martin and his letter about distracted driving penalties. On May 24, 2006, I was on North Dairy Road crossing Shelbourne Street on the green light. I was about halfway across the intersection when my car was struck by a southbound vehicle. My car was spun 180 degree by the impact and a wheel was torn off. The other driver, who was 100 per cent liable, told the police that he and his friends had been drinking beer and

smoking dope. He took his eyes off the road, and when he looked back the light was red and I was in front of him and he could not stop. I have a brain injury, have lost my foot due to a combination of stress and diabetes, and nerve compression which limits the use of my hands, etc. I have since lost my home due to an inability to make mortgage payments and I am now destitute. My life has now been turned 180 degrees, like my car was in the accident. What happened to the kid who was responsible? A slap on the wrist, a 24-hour roadside suspension, and that is all he got. I have often thought I would have been better off if I had been killed, because it would have spared me a lot of pain. Paul Price Saanich

The Sport of Fitness has Arrived! Providing the best fitness program possible for beginners to high performance athletes CrossFit Vic City owner Cam Birtwell knows what it takes to get athletes to

perform at their best. Birtwell worked for six years as a strength and conditioning coach at the Canadian Sport Institute, where he directed programs for Olympic athletes in the sports of rowing, swimming, triathlon and rugby. Double Olympic medallist Ryan Cochrane is one of those to have benefited from Birtwell’s strength training program. Since opening CrossFit Vic City, Birtwell has switched his focus to helping “ordinary” people become “extraordinary”. CrossFit Vic City offers small group training blending gymnastics, weightlifting, sprints and conditioning circuits, as well as personal training, bootcamps and specialty specific training for a variety of sports. “CrossFit Vic City offers fitness programs for beginners all the way through to high performance athletes,” said Birtwell, who has 14 years experience as a strength and conditioning coach. “Our instructors are professional coaches and many have

years of experience and fitness related degrees. We pride ourselves equally on our progressive and structured training program and the community of people who have gathered around us.” Seeing someone give their full effort and interest to a program is the best possible outcome for a coach. “Most people come in and tell us they just want to get into shape or to ‘get more fit’,” said Birtwell. “After a few months, everything changes – not only physical appearance and capability, but also mentally in terms of increased confidence and willingness to take on tasks in their everyday life. It’s an incredible transformation to watch.” He has witnessed several people lose up to 50 pounds of bodyweight on his program, and has seen athletes over the age of 50 who are stronger and faster than most 20-year-olds. “We employ a professional program design that takes into account individual levels of fitness and a long term view of developing fitness and performance safely in our participants,” said Birtwell. “We blend the best of conventional strength and conditioning principles with the excitement and variation of CrossFit workouts to provide the best fitness program possible.”

said Shaw, a Saanich resident. A motion put forward to the CRD board by Saanich Coun. Fred Haynes endorses CHF BC and the Co-operative Housing Federation of Canada’s “You Hold the Key: Fix the co-op housing crunch!” campaign. Low-income co-op households across Canada face a crisis. As federal agreements expire, so do federal funds for rent supplements that make housing affordable for lowincome co-op members. Nearly 400 (approximately a third) of the 1,172 co-op households in the CRD will be affected. In British Columbia, more than 3,000 co-op households will lose the support that keeps their homes affordable by 2020. CHF BC and CHF Canada have

proposed a rent supplement program for low-income co-op households that would be funded jointly by the federal and provincial governments. Delivered by the provincial government and based on an existing model, the program would only cost $3 million more this year than the B.C. government currently spends supporting low-income co-op members. By 2020 the extra cost to help thousands of co-op households as their federal rent subsidies expire will reach an additional $11 million per year. The You Hold the Key campaign has also been endorsed by the Metro Vancouver Region, the Union of B.C. Municipalities and individual municipal councils (including Sidney and Saanich on Vancouver Island).

British Columbia’s first Designer Shoe Warehouse is set to open right here in Saanich Thursday. Bruce Dinan, CEO of Town Shoes, the Canadian company responsible for DSW’s nationwide rollout, said the timing was just right to set up shop in Greater Victoria, with the Saanich location taking a spot at the Island Home Centre. “We’ve taken a look at all the markets across Canada and certainly B.C. was a very important market,” he said. “It just happened that the timing of the real estate made Victoria our first store within British Columbia. “We expect to have some other stores there over the next year or so, but the opportunity in Victoria opened itself up, so we thought it was a great market to go in with a DSW store.” The new store takes up 20,000 square feet and will have more than 22,000 pairs of designer shoes, featuring such brands as Converse, Sam Edelman, Vince Camuto, Steve Madden, Nine West, Nike, New Balance, Lacoste, Timberland and Coach. “If you want to dress up or just want to go casual or if you’re into running, we have the shoes for you,” said Dinan. DSW’s foray into Canada is relatively new, with its first two stores opening in Ontario just over a year ago. “We wanted to make sure we got the concept right and that we delivered on the DSW experience,” said Dinan. “Since then, we’ve opened up four stores this spring and we’re going to open up seven stores over the next eight weeks.” The stores will be identical to their U.S. counterparts, with a similar selection of shoes, socks, handbags, belts and other accessories in addition to thousands and thousands of shoes. The grand opening will feature a ribbon cutting, and Mayor Richard Atwell is scheduled to be in attendance. The ceremonies begin at 8 a.m. on Aug. 20, at 805 Cloverdale Ave., Unit 100.

The boardwalk, originally constructed in 1991, is being replaced with a structure using aluminum framing and a fibreglass decking surface, giving it a much longer lifespan. “The boardwalk replacement has been contemplated for some years with the small north portion of it being completed this summer due to it being the area in most disrepair, that and it is all that current funding will allow,” said Stephen Chang, Bridges to Nature campaign chair. “A fundraising campaign is underway to raise the balance of the funds required in order to complete phase two – the section crossing the lake from the north to the south side in the future. The sanctuary’s efforts today will go a long way towards building a foundation for the campaign, ultimately providing a foundation for continuing on with phase two of the floating boardwalk replacement project.” To learn more about the project or to make a donation, visit the society’s website at swanlake.bc.ca/capitalproject.php.

As work continues on the north section of the Swan Lake Christmas Hill Boardwalk, the tranquil sights of nature are still being enjoyed by residents out for a stroll along the southern section. Kathleen Burton, executive director at the nature sanctuary, said being able to keep part of the boardwalk open during the $320,000 first phase of the boardwalk renovations has been welcome news for visitors to the sanctuary. “It means that while we renovate, hikers, birders and everyone else who loves spending time in the natural heart of the city will still be able to cross over the open water of the boardwalk across to a turnaround point at the construction site,” she said. Knappett Construction is on site, with site prep and investigation completed for the environmentally sensitive project which must be completed in a window of July 15 to Sept. 15. The structure of the former run-down boardwalk has now been removed and six of the fabricated floats have been delivered and are being installed. “They are on schedule, which is amazing considering each float section is huge,” said Burton. “You can’t just hand cart them into place, they have to be craned, and the crew from Knappett has been incredible. They are taking great care in moving each section, carefully lifting the floats and fibreglass decking into place replacing the old boardwalk weathered by forces of nature.”

With a few keystrokes you can sample thousands of opinions, aoat in a sea of information. But as the volume increases, the accuracy and reliability of professional journalism is essential. Gathering and sorting the facts, weighing and interpreting events, and following the story from beginning to end is more important than ever.

Travis Paterson/News Staff

The Boys & Girls Club Services of Greater Victoria is celebrating the first six months of the Kaare Norgaard Central Saanich Club, following hefty fundraising efforts by the community to build the new facility. In a letter to Black Press, the club highlighted its Jan. 24 opening, attributing the new location’s success to the $850,000 raised through its Open the Doors campaign, which included in-kind gifts from about 50 business and individuals totalling more than $150,000. “We not only were able to build a new club facility that is bright, welcoming and safe for our kids, but we did it without incurring any debt

as well as establishing three endowments,” wrote campaign chair Peter Baillie. “We simply could not have accomplished this without the strong support of so many people, organizations and businesses.” Campaign manager Kate Mansell said raising funds was a team effort by everyone on the committee. She credited project managers and longtime Central Saanich residents Mark and Danielle Marley for their hard work in gathering donations. “It was a substantial effort on behalf of Mark and Danielle,” she said. “Their work certainly made it easier to provide incentive to other donors to get on board.” She also thanked the District of Central Saanich for providing the location at a cost of $1 per year for 25 years – ensuring

that every dollar raised will go a bit further. “They’ve been immensely supportive of us over the years. It was a testament to their past support and their belief in our work.” The club – named after the late philanthropist Kaare Norgaard – provides a supportive place for children and youth to experience new opportunities, build positive relationships and develop confidence and skills. “We care about kids – all of them,” wrote Baillie. “We provide an ear to hear and a heart that cares. We provide the praise they never got and the patience they never experienced. “We let them know they’re not alone. And that opens doors to a world of opportunities for growth and self discovery.”

Drought taking a toll on rivers, land Tom Fletcher Black Press

Water use restrictions, inland fishing closures and a close watch on the warming Fraser River continue as drought conditions extend into a fourth month in B.C. The Fraser River discharge at Hope measured 31 per cent lower than normal Aug. 10, with the temperature at 19.2 C, one degree higher than average. The Canada-U.S. Fraser River Panel projected a temperature of 20.4 by Aug. 16, with all commercial salmon fishing closed in Canadian waters regulated by the panel. The B.C. government extended stage four drought restricted to the Okanagan region, allowing local officials to suspend water licences

depending on stream conditions. The South Thompson, Similkameen, Kettle and Skagit, South Coast and Vancouver Island regions are also at stage four. Low stream flow advisories are in effect for those areas and the Cariboo-Chilcotin. The forests ministry extended its stream fishing ban on the Okanagan River mainstem between Okanagan and Osoyoos Lakes. Coastal regions have had some relief with rain and cooler temperatures that have reduced the forest fire danger rating to low for much of western B.C. A campfire ban was lifted for northern Vancouver Island. BC Hydro has also asked customers to reduce electricity use to maintain reservoir levels as dry weather continued in most of the province.

Artist draws on trauma to inspire others Work showing at Cedar Hill Rec Centre until Aug. 25 Kendra Wong Black Press

An Esquimalt artist has turned her painful past into bright, abstract works of art that she hopes will inspire others to deal with grief and trauma in a productive way. For the past four years, Dana Marie Markestein has struggled to deal with both the emotional pain of sexual abuse she suffered as a child and losing her mother to colon cancer. “Her and I were super close,” Markestein said. “Just before she passed, she told me ‘I don’t want you to just lay down and be sad, I want you to live life to the fullest you can. Think of it as a gift and the gift being you can do whatever you want and have no one tell you how to do it’.” After attending a hypnotherapy session (at the advice of her mother) to help deal with her grief, a friend encouraged her to pick up a paint brush for the first time. Since then, she has used painting as an outlet for her pain. “There’s a lot of emotion in a lot of my pieces,” she said. “It’s just a great release – if you’re frustrated, sad or happy, just go grab a canvas and some acrylic paint. You don’t have to start expensive, I started at the dollar store.” Her work is described as bright, bold, deep, emotional, fun and abstract. Currently, 34 pieces of Markestein’s art are on display at the Cedar Hill Recreation Centre as part of a program with the Community Arts Council of Greater Victoria that showcases local artists. “We try to exhibit as much [art] as we can.

Dana Markestein shows off her paintings at the Cedar Hill Recreation Centre. Thirty-four pieces of Markestein’s art are on display until Aug. 25. Dana’s was a good fit because her work is beautiful,” said Brin O’Hare, arts co-ordinator with the council. “I’’m always a fan of abstraction and colour, so this is what I like about art in a nutshell.” For Markestien, she hopes her work will inspire others to find ways to deal with their pain. “It’s not about dwelling on it or being the

victim of any sort, it’s about going forward. You have to move past it and just know that you are going to get through it,” she said. “With any kind of devastation of trauma, having an outlet to heal yourself with is important and I’ve realized that art is mine.” Markestein’s art is part of the show “The Inspiration of Abstract” and is on display at the Cedar Hill Recreation Centre until Aug. 25.

you might serve: kale, arugula, swiss chard, lettuce, chervil, parsley, chives, Japanese turnips, escarole, mustard greens, asian greens… Now doesn’t that list alone make you feel refreshed? I start my winter salad garden in August and keep planting into September. Temperatures will soon cool enough for germination and our maritime climate (traditionally), is absolutely ideal for cool season growing. There’s a lot to re-thinking the vegetable patch as year-round provider, so if you are keen and new to the scheme, I recommend the book Winter Gardening in the Pacific Northwest by Binda Colebrook or The Zero-Mile Diet by Victoria’s own Carolyn Herriot. The West Coast Seeds catalogue is also very helpful and can be picked up for free at garden shops and nurseries around town. Here are a few basics: 1. Cut your losses now and make room in your garden. Yank up the unhappy annuals, compost the blooming lettuces, the fiery arugula, mangy nasturtiums and whatever else you have left. Their real estate is valuable. 2. Increase the productivity of your plot by amending the soil. Don’t even think of planting into spent earth. Crack your pitchfork into the hard ground, amend the soil with whatever compost you have, and use a balanced organic granular fertilizer which will release over time. I use a blend from Borden Mercantile (off

I also use glacial rock dust for micronutrients but I’m a heavy grower and demand a lot from my salad beds, turning them over three times a year; usually in March, June and August. 3. Water deeply. Wake up the worms. 4. Let the soil rest for a few days or longer if you can bear it.

5. Sow seeds or use transplants available from farmers’ markets and garden centres. 6. Establish your plants. If you plan to be gone for Labour Day, have someone water during your absence. With winter salad gardens, time is of the essence; you can’t dally. Winter greens need to be started before it’s too cold (and too dark) for them to put on much growth. We’re losing minutes a day at this time of year and that loss is felt by the plant.

In a future column, I’ll discuss the winter crucifers (broccoli, cauliflower, etc.) which are slightly more demanding, but if you can’t resist tucking a few of these giants in between your lettuces, go ahead. Their thick leaves are frost resistant and can offer some protection to the more tender plants underneath. lll

Cedric, a five-month-old German shepherd puppy, is facing medical care estimated to cost $8,500.

Victoria SPCA seeks support for puppy The Victoria SPCA is appealing to the public to get some help for a very special puppy. Cedric, a five-month-old puppy German shepherd, suffers from a severe bladder infection with cauliflower growths. Victoria SPCA branch staff and volunteers are hoping the public can help the happy-go-lucky pup receive the medical care he needs. “His bladder is too far back, which causes incontinence, so he needs surgery to remove the growths and change the position of the bladder,” said B.C. SPCA Victoria branch manager Annie Prittie Bell. “He’s a lovely puppy with a very social personality. He loves people and dogs and other animals alike.” The puppy found his way to the Victoria SPCA after being surrendered in Port Alberni because his former owners moved, and is currently staying in foster care among goats, chickens, other dogs and adult humans. Cedric will require two to three months to clear up his infection, undergo surgery and recover. The total cost of his medical needs is estimated at $8,500. A nonprofit organization, the B.C. SPCA relies mainly on public donations to carry out its life-saving work in helping the province’s most vulnerable animals. “Cedric is so full of love and is such a sweetheart,” said Pritte Bell. “We just want him to have a better chance at living a happy, healthy and pain-free life, in a loving forever home.” If you can help Cedric and other animals like him at the Victoria SPCA, donate online at spca. bc.ca/medicalemergency or in person at 3150 Napier Lane, Victoria.

Conditions attached to pipeline approval Tom Fletcher Black Press

The National Energy Board has released a draft list of 145 conditions for approval of Kinder Morgan Canada’s oil pipeline expansion project, including environmental protection plans for land and marine operations. Conditions include the possibility of dredging for the expansion of the Westridge Marine Terminal in Burnaby, where the original Trans Mountain pipeline has delivered crude oil and refined products since 1953. Kinder Morgan is proposing to twin the line to ramp up shipments of diluted bitumen from northern Alberta that began intermittently in the late 1980s. The $5.4 billion expansion project would nearly triple the line’s capacity to “Our initial 890,000 barrels per review of the draft day, resulting in a seven-fold increase conditions is that in oil tankers entering and leaving they are rigorous but Vancouver harbour. achievable.” Kinder Morgan - Ian Anderson Canada president Ian Anderson said last week the company will be seeking clarification on the timing of some of the conditions, and will file its comments to the NEB review panel Aug. 20. Most major conditions, including plans for watercourse crossings along the route, are to be filed at least 90 days before construction begins. “Our initial review of the draft conditions is that they are rigorous but achievable,” Anderson said. NEB hearings are to resume Aug. 24, where the B.C. government is expected to formalize its position, based on Premier Christy Clark’s five conditions for new heavy oil pipelines. They include a “world-class” spill response capability on land and sea, approval and benefit sharing by affected First Nations, and a still-undefined “fair share” of benefits for the province. Those conditions were included in B.C.’s position opposing the Enbridge Northern Gateway project, which the federal government approved with its own list of more than 200 conditions. The province does not have authority to veto either pipeline project, as each would run from Alberta to B.C. Draft conditions for Trans Mountain include identification of all sites on the proposed second line affected by earthquake, including the “Holocene for Sumas Fault, Vedder Mountain Fault, Fraser River-Straight Creek Fault and Rocky Mountain Trench, as well as other possible hidden faults.” Conditions also include submitting records of landowner consultation on the route, and a plan for aboriginal participation in monitoring construction.

Island tops magazine poll Vancouver Island has once again been named the Best Island in the continental U.S. and Canada by readers of Travel + Leisure magazine. North America’s largest Pacific island, with its irresistible mix wilderness and top-ranked food and lodging, is among the world’s leading island destinations, according to the magazine. The magazine’s annual World’s Best Awards, with this year’s winners published in the August 2015 issue, have ranked Vancouver Island among the top three islands in the continental U.S. and Canada since 2001. “Once again we are thrilled with this recognition from the readers of Travel + Leisure as a top island destination,” said Dave Petryk, president and CEO of Tourism Vancouver Island. “We’ve always known what a gem of a destination this is, which includes many remarkable experiences that our tourism businesses provide to visitors.”
