New society aims to reopen Centre of the Universe Travis Paterson News Staff

A group of Saanich science fans are launching a new campaign to bring school aged kids back to the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory. Don Moffat is vice-chair of the brand new Friends of the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory Society, a non-profit incorporated in June. He says the new society’s plan is to reopen the The Centre of the Universe visitors centre that sits next to the iconic white observatory atop Little Saanich Mountain (on West Saanich Road), which closed in 2013 due to federal budget cutbacks. “When the National Research Council

announced the closing in 2013, I was told we would be allowed to reopen it if we could [organize] a new group such as this,” Moffat said. “Some of us came from the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, which is there for amateur astronomers, to create the Friends of the Observatory, which will have a broader representation of the community.” The Friends of DAO hopes to open the observatory and Centre of the Universe to elementary school field trips. Currently, school groups have no access to the observatory. Public access is limited to a few Saturday nights in the summer, hosted by the RASC with support from the NRC and over-subscribed summer camps through the University of Victoria’s Science Venture camp program.

Therefore, it’s the society’s goal to raise $9,500 and have that matched through grants to fully fund a new School Tours program as well as some equipment upgrades to improve the quality of presentations on Observatory Hill. They’re starting with a crowd funding site to “get things going.” “We’re not trying to crowd fund in perpetuity, we plan to have a stable funding base, hopefully through corporate donations and benefactors,” Moffat said. “Our long-term vision will, of course, cost far more…,” Moffat said. “…We plan to fully fund the education program and incrementally renovate the visitors centre in time for the observatory centenary in 2018.” The Plaskett Telescope has been in

operation since May 6, 1918, though construction of the building started in 1914 and ended in 1917. The Centre of the Universe houses historical artifacts like the original 1.8metre mirror from the Plaskett Telescope and once offered historical tours, multimedia shows and youth programs. It had cost about $277,000 to operate annually, including $245,000 in employee wages, but brought in about $47,000 per year in revenue, costing the National Research Council about $230,000 per year. The Friends’ fundraising campaign is based through a crowd funding site at IndieGogo http://igg.me/at/FDAO. Those who wish to be involved in other ways may contact the society at info@ observatoryhill.org.

Festival brings a taste of Greece to the Island Greek Fest begins Friday and will run over next two weekends Dan Ebenal News Staff

Those who can’t afford a trip to the Mediterranean can get a little taste of Greece right here in Saanich this weekend. Greek Fest is back over the next two weekends, running this Friday through Sunday as well as over the long weekend, Sept. 4 to 7. The food, entertainment and culture of Greece will be celebrated at the Greek Orthodox Church and Community Centre during the 14th annual festival. “It’s Greek entertainment, Greek music and Greek dancing, but we’ve also invited groups from other different cultures as well to do performances,” said Jim Koutougos, one of the organizers of Greek Fest. “A big focus is definitely the food. We have all kinds of delicious things for people to come and enjoy.” Along with traditional favourites like souvlaki and roast lamb, there will be vegetarian dishes as well like Greek salad and spanakopita. “There will be some delicious desserts as well,” said Koutougos. “The little Greek doughnuts are really popular as well, called loukkoumades.” And while you’re enjoying the food and entertainment, there will also be a chance to get a taste of the Greek culture. “We’ve got a heritage room. It’s sort of a Greek history museum that we’ve started up,” said Koutougos. The heritage exhibit explores the history of Greeks in British Columbia, where you can learn about Juan De Fuca (Ioannis Focas) the first Greek to arrive to sail B.C.’s waters in 1592. Another famous Greek in local history is the seaman Kapiotis, who settled at Fort Victoria and married Marrie-Ann, the daughter of a Songhees chief. His granddaughter, Orsa, married John Douglas, grandchild to B.C.’s first governor Sir James Douglas. There will also be tours of the the Greek Orthodox Church, which is nearing completion, with beautiful icons adorning the walls. “These are actually painted by nuns from a monastery in Greece and they’re quite impressive,” said Koutougos. Greek Fest originally started out as a three-day event,

That way if people are away on vacation or they’re camping, they might get another chance to come by.” While the days of the festival may have changed, admission is still free. And while you’re filling up on

Greek delicacies you will also be helping to put food on the plates of some Victoria students as the society is again partnering with Saanich Fire Department to raise funds for the Hot Lunch Program. “It’s a program for elementary schoolchildren that perhaps don’t have the means to have a lunch everyday,” said Koutougos. The community centre is located at 4648 Elk Lake Dr., next to Commonwealth Place, and the festival runs daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Aug. 28-30 and Sept. 4-7. editor@saanichnews.com

Environment to be the focus of series of debates Saanich voters will have a chance next month to hear where the candidates in the federal election stand on issues surrounding the environment. Renewable energy, green jobs, oil tankers, pipeline expansion, greenhouse gas emission reduction and the impact of climate change will be the focus of five federal candidates debates set for southern Vancouver Island starting Sept. 16 in Sooke and including dates in Victoria, Langford, Esquimalt and Sidney. “We launched this initiative because we,

our sponsors and our community feel that the federal government has a critical role in addressing climate and energy issues,” said Marion Pape, chair of the BCSEA Victoria Chapter. “Citizens have a vote and a voice, and these five debates will help ensure we elect candidates who are committed to a sustainable energy future.” A prelude to the Oct. 19 federal election, the debates are the final phase of the B.C. Sustainable Energy Association’s year-long Energy and the Next Federal Election speaker series. The initiative is

t phon t s e t co Your Fishing Headquarters

intended to make climate change a federal election issue by highlighting its impact on the economy, jobs, health care, the environment, food security and the quality of life faced by this and future generations. The candidates in Esquimalt Saanich Sooke will square off Sept. 16 at Edward Milne Community School in Sooke and again Sept. 29 at the Esquimalt United Church. The Victoria candidates will present their views Sept. 21 at the First Metropolitan United Church in Victoria.

St. Paul’s United Church in Sidney will play host to an Oct. 2 debate for candidates in Saanich Gulf Islands. The debates will all run from 6:30 to 9 p.m., and are co-presented by the BCSEA Victoria Chapter with the Dogwood Initiative, two non-partisan environmental organizations. Major party candidates in each of southern Vancouver Island’s four federal ridings have received invitations. A series of prepared questions will be asked and queries will be welcomed from the audience.

Artist’s work strikes a chord with musical icon Saanich artist pays tribute to Elton John Jacob Zinn News Staff

Who better than Sir Elton John to model a piano after? That’s what Saanich artist Sherryl Hustins thought when she was selected as one of three artists to paint pianos for display in Oak Bay. “It really was the first image that came to my mind when I read the email,” said Hustins. “He’s so widely known for his piano work – also Billy Joel, but Elton has a bigger personality, he’s more widely known, lots of fun. “I have painted several musical icons on canvas and I thought this would be a great opportunity for a 3D installation.” The creative initiative – started by

Oak Bay arts laureate Barbara Adams – reached Hustins’ ears through an artists’ call, and she was accepted while she was an artist in residence at the Sidney Pier Hotel. As soon as that ended, she got to work on redecorating a piano in tribute to the five-time Grammy Award winner. The upright 88 is decked out in sparkly spectacles and features six nods to the piano man’s chart-topping career, including Yellow Brick Road, Rocket Man and Candle in the Wind. Hustins even captured some of John’s more distinct facial features, such as the gap between his two front teeth. “I had bigger plans even than what the piano turned out to be, but you had to consider the elements. I toned it down, but the response has still been amazing,” she said. In an effort to engage children through art – one of the objectives of the program – Hustins painted her piano at Monterey middle school for all the kids to see.

Allison Gratz picks some cherry tomatoes at the Saanich Community Food Bank Garden. The garden produces about 1,500 pounds of vegetables for the Mustard Seed Food Bank every year.

Community garden fills need at food bank Dan Ebenal News Staff

A dedicated group of Saanich gardeners is digging deep to help others in need. A small band of volunteers spend their Saturdays from April through September at the Saanich Community Church where they tend the soil and harvest the bounty at the Saanich Community Food Bank Garden. “The purpose is to produce food for the food bank,” said co-ordinator Allison Gratz, who was there when the idea first germinated nine years ago. “It was started off because we wanted to be good stewards of the land. The land [on the church property] just wasn’t being used at all. We thought we could start a garden there.” The bounty of vegetables grown is then turned over to Victoria’s Mustard Seed Food Bank. “They just can’t get enough goodquality fresh produce,” said Gratz. “They get some donations of food, but often it is seconds, and that’s understandable. But ours are some of the only ones that are grown expressly for them.” She said the garden can produce about 1,500 pounds of vegetables in a year, estimating the value at about $6,000. During the peak, she said they harvested about 85 pounds of cherry tomatoes and 150 pounds of beans. “And that was just in one week. That was a lot of picking.” Gratz doesn’t have a figure for how many meals all the vegetables picked throughout the year translates to. “I haven’t calculated, probably thousands. I don’t know, how many pounds of beans can someone eat at a meal?” She said there’s a core group of a half dozen or so volunteers, with another 40 or 50 people making their way out to the garden once or twice a year.

She said over the years the volunteers have improved their gardening skills, getting better at producing more food. There are a few staples that can regularly be found in the 1,600 square feet of garden space at the church. “We’ve gotten really good at growing beans and cherry tomatoes, and had some success with potatoes, squash and zucchinis. Then we have root vegetables like beets and parsnips and carrots,” said Gratz, adding they also grow some herbs, which can be fairly expensive, along with grapes and apples along the edges of the garden. While the Mustard Seed is able to get top-quality produce out of the arrangement, Gratz said it also brings a benefit to the volunteers. “I love it, and it’s more fun to pull weeds and everything with other people,” she said. “I’ve always grown up having garden-fresh produce, it’s just something that’s always been a part of my life. If I’m able to help other people who are not able to have access to that kind of really tasty food, I’m really happy to do that.” She said it’s also made her a better gardener, comparing the sharing of information to something “like a hive mind.” “There’s one person who’s really great at tomatoes and someone else is this amazing orchardist and has been able to help us out with the fruit thing. Someone else is really good at irrigation. We’ve just been blessed to have all these really good people around. We’re just learning all the time.” The community garden is always looking for more hands to help out with the work. Anyone interested in volunteering can email saanichfoodbankgarden@ gmail.com.

OUR VIEW

Climate change should be an election topic Kim Campbell was infamously quoted (or misquoted) as saying that a 47-day election was no time to discuss serious issues. Fortunately, we are in the early days of an election campaign that is almost twice that long, and will stretch on into late October. It’s also unusual to have an election campaign during summer, when the weather is often top of mind. So let’s have a debate about climate change. Not whether or not it exists, which has been thoroughly established. There is a worldwide scientific consensus, and every major political party accepts that it is happening, whether grudgingly or not. There is also ample anecdotal evidence in the form of temperature records that have fallen by the score across B.C. We also have the raging wildfires and water restrictions – though not as severely here as in other regions – to show us what global warming will mean for us on a local level. Fortunately for us here in Saanich, the B.C, Sustainable Energy Association has heeded the call. The group is hosting a series of debates on the environment in the Greater Victoria area as part of its Energy and the Next Federal Election speaker series. Voters in all three of Saanich’s federal ridings will have an opportunity to hear their candidates’ views on issues such as renewable energy, green jobs, oil tankers, pipeline expansion, greenhouse gas emission reduction and the impact of climate change. Debates have been set for Sept. 29 at the Esquimalt United Church for candidates in Esquimalt Saanich Sooke, Sept. 21 for Victoria candidates at the First Metropolitan United Church, while Saanich Gulf Islands candidates will square off Oct. 2 at St. Paul’s United Church in Sidney. The opposition parties may be willing to attack the government on the environment, but they are still following rather than leading the debates on energy and climate change. As usual, it’s up to Canadians to push for the changes we need in Ottawa. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@saanichnews.com or fax 250386-2624.

appearances at fire sites where homes and businesses have been threatened or destroyed. (Today’s big-city media formula is to emphasize danger and promote attacks on premiers of all stripes. If they don’t visit disasters, they are callous and uncaring. If they do, they’re exploiting the situation for photo ops.) In her first fire scene appearance this summer, Clark warned that drought and huge fires may be “the new normal” for B.C. as climate warms and shifts. This is great positioning for the government’s plan to attend the latest global climate doom festival in Paris this fall, but it’s not borne out by recent forest fire results. In terms of dollars spent and area burned, the years 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 were all well below average. Last year and 2009 were substantially above average, but 2008 and 2013 were among the quietest years on record. Is drought the “new normal” too? The B.C. government’s own climate change forecast is for increasing overall precipitation, albeit with more rain and less snow. Snowpacks for southern B.C. were indeed the lowest on record this past winter, but that record only goes back 31 years. And when were high snowfall records last broken? That would be 2011. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Saanich must consider arterial road systems Funding for a McKenzie overpass of Highway 1 is good news but preoccupation with that project has unfortunately blinded us to associated traffic issues. West Shore communities generate much of the daily traffic flow and they also have had the foresight to consider their own internal arterial roads systems; first with Veterans Parkway and now with new West Shore Parkway Extension. Colwood recently prepared its own transportation plan. Unfortunately other municipalities have not reciprocated with meaningful plans for arterial roadways. This failure will merely perpetuate the current pattern of road congestion and traffic using local roads to avoid congestion points. Apparently the current OCP for Saanich other than Highways 1 and 17 and West Saanich Road designates no other roads as major arterial routes or truck routes.

Column shows Conservative bias Tom Fletcher’s view on sorting out federal election issues in the Aug. 12 Saanich News should not have been under an editorial section, but as a paid advertisement for the Conservative Party. His rabid right-wing Conservative propaganda should be illegal under the Elections Act and not posted under any editorial section in any paper while a federal election is underway. His columns are so full of Conservative propaganda, half truths and misleading Conservative spin that they seem like they came directly from the prime ministers office. Harper’s, oops, I mean Fletcher’s columns are so biased and hard to read that many of your readers might regularly question the editorial bias and journalistic integrity of the newspaper. It is misleading to have anything posted by this man in the editorial section especially during an election campaign. The Conservative Party has a long history of election fraud and a win-atany-cost attitude. His “opinions” should only be allowed in your paper during an election if they are clearly marked that they are an advertisement for the Conservative Party. There is no need to have the PMO’s official stamp of approval, I’m sure Fletcher already got the “good to go from the PM”. Warren Ellam Saanich

Editorial unfair to Conservatives To suggest the Conservatives show outdated priorities clearly indicates that it is the editorial staff of the Saanich News who need a severe reality check. The Conservatives have focused on reducing spending, balancing budgets, and reducing taxes for all Canadians. Talk to young married couples with children to

The current road system in the region clearly forces traffic toward Uptown and/or the north south arterial Highway 17 despite the fact Exhibit A.12 of the CRD Transportation Plan shows peak traffic flows already exceed capacity of Highway 1. The CRD Regional Transportation Plan forces all traffic to drive around Saanich West – i.e. to go north you must first head towards the city centre. Why do we want to force all traffic to converge in this manner? There is clearly a disconnect between regional planning, trip patterns and reality. That plan, in its fervor to assign priority to transit/cycling, completely ignores the major issue of traffic congestion. CRD studies advise that over 65 per cent of all auto traffic is intermunicipal, whereby regional residents must cross through Saanich to get to two major regional employment centres, airport/ferry, UVic, Camosun,

note how they benefit from new the new child benefit packages. How about the reduction of the mandatory withdrawal from RRIFs? And income splitting, as was the pension splitting provision of a few years ago, will put more money in the pockets of hard working Canadians. The Conservatives are not impeding the growth of Canada’s vast resource base, including oil and gas extraction. They know full well the importance of resource extraction to the whole of the Canadian economy. The Conservatives have been ruthless in their free trade agenda. Dozens of deals in the last 10 years with nothing but negative comments from all of the opposition parties. To suggest the Liberals, NDP and the Green Party are focusing on issues important to Canada’s future would indicate that someone has not reviewed the election platforms of any of the opposition parties. Does increasing corporate taxes, or imposing a variety of carbon taxes sound like sound fiscal policies in an era of downturns in the energy sector? It is patently clear that the Liberals, the NDP and the Greens are adamantly opposed to pipelines of any nature, even the Energy East oil pipeline; to expansion of our oil and gas resources; and certainly insofar as the Greens are concerned, to the extraction of Canadian resources of any kind. Governments can support our economy by getting out of the way of the private sector. That is where the Conservatives shine. All of the opposition parties, particularly the NDP, would take an opposite tack, and such a future would be a sorry sight to see. And by the way, Victoria and region have one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country, and both tourism

downtown, etc. While attempts to encourage and increase a shift to transit and cycling is laudable, it will at best only result in a shift of 10 to 15 per cent. Meanwhile the number of over 800,000 daily vehicle movements will increase by 140,000. Avoiding the need for arterial routes through District of Saanich may meet the desires of residents of West Saanich but provides residents of other parts of the region with no reasonable alternatives. It seems somewhat unfair as a whole that a municipality that will receive massive infrastructure funding makes no municipal investments to address these implications. This issue will be discussed further in a future letter to the editor. James Anderson Saanich

and high tech is booming, so where are all of the these Canadians without a job and struggling to make ends meet? The vast majority of our seniors are doing extremely well in B.C. with a health care system of the highest order. The Royal Jubilee Hospital is one of the finest in the country. And Canada has just recently been voted the best country in the world. So it would appear the editorial writers of the News are out-dated, not the Conservatives. H.J. Rice Saanich

Deer plan doomed to failure While I greatly appreciate that the extermination of deer is being reconsidered, the immuno-contraception plan is likely to fail in living up to its promises. The UWSS claims to be science-based, yet are arbitrarily using this method in Oak Bay by choosing 25 deer – this number is based on the number of doses they can afford, not the science (which says 90 per cent of deer need to have the contraception to be effective.) Given they don’t know the deer population of Saanich either, yet another arbitrary number will be assigned (also likely based on affordability), and it’s little more than ‘fingers crossed’ that this even has an impact. This is simply not sciencebased, and the group is teetering on fraudulence on this aspect. It’s also quite literally ‘animal testing’, with little understanding on the impact on wildlife. (Well, that’s what we get to ‘find out’ after this has been utilized.) There are reports of deformities and other health issues with the use of immuno-contraceptives on deer, and we quite literally have no idea what the long-term effects on their health will be.

Approving this method is short-sighted and unscientific. UWSS does deserve credit for the road signs – this is where we’ll have the most success: changing human behaviour. Acceptance of the presence of deer, and changing our behaviour, will go a long way to peaceful and safe coexistence (which is what we need to be considering – there will always be deer here, no matter how many we shoot or give contraception to). They and other groups also desperately need to address the issue that credible wildlife scientists find to be the primary issue: the feeding of deer. Municipalities have to toughen and enforce ‘no feeding’ bylaws. If we’re providing them with food, they will remain (and increase in population). Food is often intentional, with people leaving out feed, or careless residents leaving dropped fruit on their yards. Once food sources are eliminated, there is no reason for deer to stick around. It’s really that simple. And this area would be a much better investment of tax dollars. Dave Shishkoff Victoria

FORT AND FOUL BAY SAVE-ON-FOODS

ave-on-Foods and The Overwaitea Food Group is marking a century with a special community celebration this Friday, Aug. 28, at the Fort and Foul Bay Road location of the B.C.-grown company. Here in Greater Victoria, the company’s roots reach back to 1986, when the region welcomed its ﬁrst Save-on-Foods at Saanich Centre, followed by Victoria’s Westside Village store in 1999. Overwaitea’s Island presence reaches back all the way to 1918, however, when Overwaitea opened its second store in Nanaimo. The Island was also where the company ﬁrst introduced the concept of bulk foods in 1982, which it later extended throughout all the stores. The two Victoria-area stores built a loyal following over the following 15 years, with customers appreciating the wide selection of quality goods provided at fair prices, and backed by a commitment to their local communities. Building on that success, the region welcomed the addition of four new stores in 2014, adding Save-on-Foods locations at Fort and Foul Bay, Tillicum, Sidney and University Heights.

This Friday, Save-on-Foods invites those same communities to come celebrate both the company’s rich local history, and the promise of all that is still to come. “It’s hard to believe that Save-on-Foods is celebrating it’s 100th birthday. We have continued to grow over the years, with six stores now in the Greater Victoria area, and its all because of you, our valued customers,” says Roger Junker, Fort and Foul Bay store manager.

“To celebrate 100 years of going the extra mile, we invite you to the Fort and Foul Bay Save-on-Foods where we’ll host the historic Overwaitea 100th Birthday Roadshow, with live music, a magic show, face painting, a wall of history, oldfashioned ﬂoats, a barbecue to raise funds for BC Children’s Hospital and much more. We hope you’ll bring the whole family down from 12 to 4 p.m. Friday for the party of the century!”

Bring the family down to enjoy a unique interactive walk down memory lane, celebrating the rich heritage of this iconic BC company. Win great prizes, interact with local community partners, enjoy entertainment and festivities!

Students share technological secrets with seniors Robert Lee For the Saanich News

As a result of the seemingly inexorable march of technology, many industries have been revolutionized. It is now possible to read books, watch movies, listen to music and stay in touch with others, all in the virtual world. Unfortunately, not everyone knows how to navigate this new digital terrain. Many people grew up before the digital age, before social networking, texting and online entertainment that the younger generations use everyday. The proliferation of smartphones, tablets and computers has changed the ways we interact, but there has been a price: more and more services are out of reach to people who are unfamiliar with these devices. The University of Victoria hosted a series of courses designed to help seniors learn the fundamentals of using digital technology.

“They set an incredibly “I loved the energy and high bar in terms of what dynamics of coupling the relatively young [high school UVic can expect not only from our own mainstream students] with the relatively students, but in terms old [seniors],” noted Tara Douglas, a senior participant. of meeting the needs for digital literacy in the general The sessions were community.” designed to investigate During the session, Grade topics that seniors wanted 12 student volunteers to learn about. During the revealed the secrets of using feedback process, ideas Google and raced around to ranging from using flagship answer questions. devices like tablets and “It felt really good to know smart phones to concerns that I had helped the seniors about digital security and understand a little more privacy and even jumping about their own devices. aboard the latest and The technology of the world greatest trends in social is changing quickly, and media were discussed. sometimes it can be hard It quickly became clear for people to keep up,” that the limiting factor was not the number of attendees, said Grade 12 student Koa Jacques. but rather the number of The experience resonated computers available. “The lab was packed to the well with both the seniors and the volunteers. rafters – we had to get more “I think that this is a great chairs – with an exciting group of enthusiastic seniors, way to share our knowledge with others and make their all asking cutting-edge lives easier.” said Trista Lee, questions about engaging another Grade 12 student. with today’s technology,” “Everyone was so said Dr. Yvonne Coady, welcoming and supportive.

Old folks and pets are often a breed apart I knew some explaining would be required when a colleague caught me surfing the Internet for information about tutu-wearing canines. Old folks and their pets, eh? We are a breed apart. From the get go, let me assure you I am not looking for a tutu for Carmello, my threekilo Mexican rescue dog – part Chihuahua, part terrier, part

vagabond. This alpha beach bum would not stand for it. Anyways, they don’t make tutus that small. No, the real reason I was searching the web was to gain some psychological insight into the mindset of a senior dog owner who would subject his mutt to that degree of humiliation. This cautionary tale starts a month ago. We were RVing in the

The other day Carmello and I were at the park, just chilling on a bench watching the ocean go by. The poor little tyke suffers from allergies that itch terribly.

More than 747,000 Canadians -- including many in Victoria -- are affected by the brain disorder, and that number is forecast to double within the next 25 years. “While there is no clear-cut way to prevent dementia, you can take steps to lower the chances of developing the disease,” said Randerson.

Support and information groups, for example, serve as a forum for sharing practical tips and strategies for coping with the disease. It helps create support and friendship with others whose lives are affected by dementia. “The groups are there for people who want to inform themselves with current information that will help improve quality of life with the disease,” said Randerson. “It’s a safe environment where you can learn, laugh, and help each other through mutual understanding.” Eight different groups meet in Victoria.

CEO Bruce Dinan welcomes the hundreds of happy shoppers on hand for Thursday’s grand opening of B.C.’s first Designer Shoe Warehouse in Saanich’s Island Home Centre. The company marked the occasion by presenting a $1,000 cheque to Wear 2 Start, which provides outfits to unemployed women for job interviews. Designer Shoe Wearhouse is expected to provide jobs for about 60 to 70 employees at the local store.

PLUMBING Chief judge to review GARDENERS Heat & Gas Services • Plumbing and heating online court records • Gas fitting Tom Fletcher Black Press

B.C. is the only province where charges and convictions in provincial court are posted on a public database as well as being available to courthouse visitors. One problem is that the information has been used by employers or landlords for criminal record checks that may find a charge but not the later acquittal. Another is posting the imposition of a peace bond, which can leave the false impression that someone has been convicted of an offence. Thomas Crabtree, chief judge of the B.C. Provincial Court, is reviewing the practice of posting court records online, and is seeking public input until Sept. 18. Court Services Online has been available since 2008, allowing anyone to search by name or case number to find information on charges, court appearances and sentences. The online information is blocked if the accused is acquitted, charges are withdrawn, a publication ban is ordered or when a pardon is later granted to seal the record of a conviction. Absolute discharge conviction records are removed from the public database after a year, and conditional discharges after three years. A stay of proceedings means the online case file is blocked after a year, although records for all cases remain at court registries for access in person. In a consultation memo on the issue, Crabtree notes that B.C.’s Court Services Online help desk received frequent requests to use the service as a criminal record check. The memo says that when information on acquittals was still available, the service received “a significant number” of complaints of negative effects from public access to charges that did not lead to conviction. Some people said they only realized the information was public when they were sent a link by co-workers or employers. The consultation memo is available at provincialcourt.bc.ca. Submissions can be made by email to info@provincialcourt.bc.ca or by mail to: Office of the Chief Judge, Provincial Court of B.C., 337-800 Hornby St., Vancouver, B.C. V6Z 2C5.

What exactly is astigmatism? The question is asked every day and astigmatism is, without doubt, one of the most misunderstood refractive disorders. Optometrists agree that astigmatism has various causes. While some theories claim it is hereditary, others state it is developmental. Both opinions are almost certainly correct. The most common form of astigmatism is due to the clear front part of the eye, the cornea, not being round. This “out of round” of the cornea causes distortion of the focussed light, which in turn causes blurred vision at all distances. An uncorrected astigmatic eye is constantly trying to improve its focus. This is tiring and can cause headaches especially during precise visual work. Most patients are surprised to learn that the majority of people have at least a small amount of astigmatism. The amount of astigmatism will determine the severity of the visual complaints. Most people can go for years without realizing that they have a problem. If one has www.oakbayoptometry.com never seen clearly, it is difficult to comprehend what clear vision truly is.

Geoffrey Vantreight is listed in the 1921 census as a farmer living on Tyndall Avenue with his wife Maud and daughters Margaret and Helen. who are referred to in the census as ‘farmerettes’. The 1921 census reveals the impact of the First World War on families living in Saanich, particularly when used in conjunction with the 1911 census. Many families lost fathers, husbands and sons in the conflict, and those who returned were often unable to

work. Frank Chevally, 38, was one of the census enumerators for the Gordon Head/ Cadboro Bay area. Before the war he had been a farmer in Royal Oak, but a poison gas attack on the Western Front in 1917 had left him so seriously injured that he was unable to return to farming. The 1921 census provides a wealth of

Summer camps something all kids should enjoy Christine van Reeuwyk Oak Bay News

Traditional summer programming doesn’t work for 12-year-old Isaac. Even with an aide, summer camps are limiting for the Oak Bay youngster, financially and behaviourally. “He has lots of stuff going on,” says mom Jennifer (last name withheld at the family’s request). Staff at Queen Alexandra Summer Camps understand the issues, and the youngster himself. Isaac’s complex, invisible challenges include post traumatic stress disorder, sensory processing problems and severe learning disabilities. That means he doesn’t fit in traditional funding boxes, making it tough for a for a mom living on a fixed low income to afford a luxury such as summer camp. “QA summer camp is the one thing they look forward to in the summer. This is their version of a wonderful summer experience,” Jennifer said. “I wouldn’t be

Happy campers n Queen Alexandra Summer Camp has been running since the 1980s. n This summer, 61 kids aged 6 to 19 of all abilities will attend camp, many for more than one week. n Since 2010 more than 1,000 unique donors have made gifts to the Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island to support summer camp. n QA offers a camp leader-to-camper ratio of four to one over the eight weeks of programming. n They offer Praxtreme Camp, a half-day weeklong practice camp for children new to the experience.

able to do it by myself and I wouldn’t want to take that [away] from them.” Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island, located onsite at the Queen Alexandra Centre for Children’s Health in Saanich, funds programs for children with disabilities and health challenges around the Island. To date, the foundation has donated more than $749,000 to the camp where grants are used specifically for camp leader salaries, transportation and camp supplies.

At ‘QA’ as it’s affectionately shortened, he has some form of continuity, Jennifer said. For example, camp leader Lucas Dellabough has been volunteering, and now on staff, at camp for more than five years. That creates a lasting relationship with Isaac, one he may have relied on this year when he attended camp for the first time without his big sister at his side. “Isaac and Annalise being in camp here is wonderful. The staff are so well trained, they understand the children’s disabilities,”

Jennifer said. “There’s consistency in the staff. They’ve been a blessing.” Camp leaders receive a month of training each June provided by Island Health professionals as well as staff from the University of Victoria, Pacific Institue for Sport Excellence, Power to Be, Community Options for Families and behaviour consultants. Isaac and Annalise attended camps together for years. It was always a safe

environment where they could explore summer activities at a skill-appropriate rate. This year, Isaac came alone – a huge milestone in his social development, says team leader Taryn Gmitroski. “For him to be willing to come without her was a big thing,” Gmitroski added. “He came and was keen and instantly bonded with the ‘guy group’. He’s formed a lot of different bonds with different groups.” Isaac professes to

favour pizza making, water play – last week he was the instigator of a cardboard jump in the middle of the slip ‘n’ slide – dam building, and the adapted bicycles. “He can’t ride a bike,” mom stage whispered so Isaac won’t hear. He can at QA Summer Camp. The bikes are sized for larger kids but adapted – for example with three wheels for balance, a large flat back deck for scooter mode, hand pedals or

tandem seats. “Every kid loves to ride. it’s a right of passage. It’s liberating and important,” Jennifer said. The campers love the bike rodeo, just one activity alongside outings to places like PISE or to mini golf, swim or kayak. The Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island hopes to raise $55,000 this year for QA summer camps. Visit childrenshealth vi.org to learn how to help.

Tourney nets $31,000 for Children’s Health The recent Bayview Place Island Savings Open golf tournament at Uplands Golf Course brought in a record $31,575 for its charitable partner, the Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island, which is based out of the Queen Alexandria Centre in Saanich. It’s the most money the tournament has raised in its 33 years, with Mackenzie Financial

contributing $12,500 of the total funds. Children’s Health Foundation is signed on as the tournament’s charity partner again for 2016. In 2015/2016, the Children’s Health Foundation will invest more than $2.2 million to support children with disabilities and health challenges on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands.

Forest stewardship plans failing The B.C. government’s forest stewardship plans for Crown land are unenforceable, lack measurable results and are not producing innovative forest management, according to an investigation by the Forest Practices Board. The board reviewed 43 stewardship plans from all regions of B.C., prepared under provincial law by tenure holders including forest companies and communities. There has been “no improvement” in problems identified by a similar review in 2006, said Forest

Practices Board chair Tim Ryan. “We are recommending that government not renew or approve any forest stewardship plans that don’t meet the standards set out in IN BRIEF the Forest and Range Practices Act,” Ryan said. The investigation found that many of the plans cover “vast and overlapping areas of the province, and were written using legal language that makes them very difficult for public understanding or review.” The five-year plans

are supposed to be approved after measurable and verifiable results and strategies are established and public input is obtained. Many have been extended without further public review and more are due for extension or renewal in the next year, the board says. The board conducts independent investigations of Crown forest licences. Its reports and results of the latest provincewide investigation can bee found at www. bcfpb.ca.

Southern B.C. to lead growth B.C.’s economy will grow at a “modest” 2.7 per cent this year, then accelerate above three per cent as major projects in northern B.C. get going in late 2016, according to the latest forecast by Central 1 Credit Union. Low interest rates, a low dollar and recovering demand in the U.S. will help the Vancouver and southern B.C region’s export and service industries most this year, said Bryan Yu, senior economist with the trade association for B.C. credit unions. Manufacturing, tourism, TV and film and agriculture are expected to lead the way. Slow global demand, particularly from China, is expected to dampen growth in northern B.C. and the Kootenays, where mining and resources are key drivers. “Northern B.C. is poised to grow at a faster rate in late 2016 onwards with the start of one liquefied natural gas terminal and pipeline, the Site C dam and other major projects,” Yu said. While B.C. residents working in the oil sands are at greater risk, low oil prices are generally positive for the B.C. economy, with lower costs for businesses and consumers.
