Meters process not so smart: councillors Installations have already begun in Greater Victoria Ryan Flaherty News staff

The chorus of voices expressing concern over B.C. Hydro’s smart meter program has grown a little louder. Oak Bay is the latest municipality to formally address the Crown corporation’s plan to install 1.8 million meters at homes and businesses around the province. There has been plenty of debate over the meters, on two main fronts. Some are concerned that not enough is known about how electromagnetic radiation emitted by the wireless meters will affect human health. Others say an aggressive installation schedule has given residents little time to make formal appeals to B.C. Hydro to prevent their current meter from being replaced. Ted Olynyk, B.C. Hydro’s community relations manager, was on hand at last week’s Oak Bay council meeting to explain the rollout plan and to assuage people’s fears about the meters’ purported health risks. But it wasn’t enough for some councillors. “This is not a two-way conversation, this is ‘We will give you the information and we will carry on,’” said Coun. Tara Ney. “I don’t know

the science, I’m not a specialist, I don’t profess to know what’s right or wrong here. But what I do know is because of the way this is being handled, people’s concerns are not being fielded seriously.” The replacements will eventually happen, said Olynyk, but if someone is worried about the long-term effects of the meters, B.C. Hydro will meet with them to try to clear the air.

“This is not a two-way conversation, this is ‘We will give you the information and we will carry on.” – Coun. Tara Ney

“It’s not a question of opting out completely,” he said. “It’s a delay. We want to have a discussion with those customers and ease their mind over any concerns they may have.” But some aren’t satisfied with the response they’ve received. “It’s a matter of educating the public,” said Oak Bay resident Tatiana Laliupe. “When I leave messages, they go unanswered. I contacted them three times and all I got was one very brief answer.” Some residents have built boxes around their old meters, which allow Hydro employees to conduct readings, but prevent them from completing new installations.

Lodge plans promoted Caroline Reidel, left, Walter Riedel, Donald Little and Baptist Housing CEO Howard Johnson look over plans for the proposed Oak Bay Lodge replacement during an open house held Saturday at Marrion Gardens on Bee Street. A second open house is scheduled for Sept. 24.

Fox participant rolls to greater success Stefanie Barber was the only registrant in Sunday’s Terry Fox Run rolling in a wheelchair. Navigating a route on wheels amid a sea of runners is always a great experience, she said. For one thing, she’s faster than those on foot – Barber finished the event in 20 minutes. And rather than feeling self-conscious about her difference, she loves the exposure.

“People with disabilities can get out and be involved with community events, and feel like they belong,” she said. “It really is an eye opener for kids. They can see the potential of everybody.” It’s a message Terry Fox himself brought to a generation of Canadians by attempting to run across the country despite having lost a leg to cancer.

“Rick Hansen was inspired by Terry Fox to do his Man in Motion World Tour and I’m inspired by Rick Hansen,” she said. This year’s Fox run attracted 850 runners and volunteers, and raised $27,000, plus $12,600 through the Great Canadian Hair-do event.

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF

Uplands Park’s future focus of meeting

Friends of Uplands Park hosts its first general meeting Sept. 29 from 7 to 9 p.m. at Windsor Pavilion. The gathering will feature a panel discussion on park issues, with Lorne Middleton, manager of Oak Bay parks services; Carrina Maslovat, manager of invasives, botanist Matt Fairbairns and Darcy Matthews, a First Nations cairns expert. The discussion will cover management of rare species, plus dog access and trails. The free event is open to the public. Tea and refreshments will be available.

Restorative justice AGM asks heartfelt question

To forgive or not is the question that will be presented at tonight’s (Sept. 21) annual general meeting of Restorative Justice Oak Bay. PhD candidate Jessica Rourke will discuss whether or not there exist unforgivable offences, as well as the role forgiveness plays in the restorative justice process. A former offender who has gone through the process will also share their experience. The meeting takes place at Oak Bay municipal hall, 2167 Oak Bay Ave., starting at 6 p.m., with speakers beginning at 6:45 p.m. RSVP to rjob.chair@gmail.com. vmoreau@oakbaynews.com

Nils Jensen has had the same election signs for 15 years. But for the Nov. 19 municipal election the Oak Bay councillor will order some new ones. “They’ll say ‘Elect Nils Jensen for mayor.’” Jensen, 62, announced his candidacy for mayor this week, making him the second councillor vying to take over from outgoing Mayor Christopher Causton. Hazel Braithwaite declared her intention to seek the mayor’s chair in July. With Jensen and Braithwaite giving up their councillor positions, and the death of Coun. Allan Cassidy this summer, Oak Bay council will see at least three new faces this year. The three other council members, Tara Ney, John Herbert and Pam Copley, have indicated they will run again. As of Monday, only one newcomer, Kevin Murdoch, had declared intentions to run for coun-

The deadline is Oct. 14 to submit forms for council and mayoralty seats. All candidates will face challenging times, Jensen said. “We will likely see a large deficit at the provincial level and no doubt there will be a trickle-down

effect to the municipality,” he said. “We’ll see money cut back from the provincial government and we ... will need to be careful and diligent with our budget over the next few years.” His top three concerns for Oak Bay are determining how it will pay its share of the new regional sewage system, how to include residents in deci-

sion-making processes and drafting a new official community plan. Jensen is an avid cyclist who has lobbied for more bike lanes in Oak Bay, as well as better sidewalks. Lobbying for those improvements may be difficult in tough economic times, he admits, but says “politics is the art of compromise.”

Anti-terrorism measures put civil rights at stake, MPs say Capital MPs united against Conservative plan Kyle Slavin News staff

Greater Victoria’s MPs are raising the red flag over the Conservative government’s plan to bring back controversial provisions of the Anti-Terrorism Act.

Community consultation on smart meters sought by council Continued from Page A1

Ney wanted council to request a moratorium on installations in Oak Bay, but instead they passed a more modest motion to request B.C. Hydro to conduct a public consultation and information ses-

sion in the community. Hydro has not yet decided whether to act on council’s recommendation, but Olynyk said they are discussing what format such a session would take. Other municipalities in the Capital Region have passed similar

motions in recent months. Victoria council asked B.C. Hydro to explore an opt-out choice for consumers, and Colwood has called for a moratorium similar to the one Ney was seeking. In all cases, the motions are non-binding. Over 6,000 meters have already

been installed in Greater Victoria, Olynyk said, and the work will continue while B.C. Hydro attempts to address people’s fears. “At the end of the day, to be connected to the grid, everybody needs a meter, but we will work with individual customers to

address their concerns,” he said. “There’s a lot of misinformation out there.” Residents who wish to have their smart meter installation delayed can call 1-888-495-2767 or email smartmeters@bchydro.com editor@oakbaynews.com

UVic researchers hope to ease end-of-life care Natalie North News staff

Sharon Tiffin/News staff

Three quarters of British Columbians who die, do so without specialized palliative care such as pain management, social support or advanced care planning. That statistic, released by the Canadian Institute for Health Information, forms the basis of the Initiative for a Palliative Approach in Nursing: Evidence and Leadership (iPANEL). It’s a project aimed at relieving some of the stresses associated with coming to the end of life. “There are very few things that are more distressing to nurses than caring for people who are dying and in distress,” said Kelli Stajduhar, associate professor in the University of Victoria School of Nursing and Centre on Aging, co-leader of the initiative. “Nobody in the health

system wants to see people in distress when they’re dying.” IPANEL is for nurses by nurses, intended to promote quality end of life care for any person dying, regardless of diagnoses and whether treatment takes place at home or in a hospital. The initiative began in January and will include several research projects over the next four years, including an upcoming nurses survey and a public education component. The key focus, Stajduhar said, is identifying patients who could benefit from a palliative approach, which is based on conversations with patients and their families about patient needs and wishes, comfort measures, cultural or spiritual concerns, as well as provisions for death. “We hope to open up the space for people in our province to begin talking more openly

about what’s coming down the road for them,” she said. “If we could get people actually doing advanced care planning, actually sitting down with their parents or their children and saying these are the kinds of things that I’m thinking about ... we’d be so much further along in getting people to have good deaths than we are right now.” Researchers from health authorities across the province have partnered with the Ministry of Health for iPANEL, funded by an $800,000 Michael Smith B.C. Nursing Research Initiative Team Award. “This is of importance to everybody. If you haven’t known anyone who’s died, you will. That’s a certain thing in life.” nnorth@saanichnews.com PLEASE SEE: End-of-life care Our View, Page A6

OUR VIEW

End-of-life care needs attention Fear of dying is common in western culture. Even the word “died” is often watered down to more gentle phrases such as passed away, passed on, or crossed over. Those words indicate not only a desire to ease the pain of losing a loved one, but soften the path from life to death. It’s ironic, then, that in British Columbia we put relatively little money More health into making a person’s days and weeks dollars needed final more comfortable. for the dying According to a national health information study, a majority of dying people in this province are not receiving an appropriate level of care, whether it be proper pain management, social support or help with post-mortem planning. We’re not suggesting any means possible must be used to extend life. But caring enough to help a dying person have a more peaceful and respectful end of life should be the least we can do. It should be noted that dying isn’t reserved for the elderly, to which anyone who reads obituary columns or has experienced someone close battling a terminal illness could attest. B.C. nurses and the University of Victoria Centre for Aging are teaming up to figure out how appropriate end-of-life care can be provided to more people in B.C., through a research program called Initiative for a Palliative Approach in Nursing: Evidence and Leadership. They’ll no doubt consider the provincial health budget, which is massive and is expected to grow, given our aging population. Some of that budget goes to hospice facilities around the province. But not everyone wants to die at hospice, where the staff are knowledgeable and compassionate, yet the atmosphere can seem like a hospital ward. We believe the provincial government needs to dedicate more funding and attention to making palliative care more far-reaching in British Columbia.

In fact our whole political scene is starting to look like a rerun of a bad 1990s movie. It was Reform B.C. that rose from the ashes of Social Credit, and inspired a desperate Gordon Campbell to sing country music and take a hard line on aboriginal relations, to stitch the ruptured right back together. Cummins defined himself as a Reform-Alliance-Conservative MP by railing against treaties, and that continues to be the core of his thin policy book. His other two main ideas are also pure rural populism. He vows to scrap the carbon tax and suggests that municipalities should cut their costs to fund transit. Voters will have a better idea by the end of this week if Clark’s plan for “defending and creating jobs” is really new policy, or merely more photo ops. B.C. has had its first taste of California-style tax revolt. Now we have two years ahead that will be dominated by relentlessly negative, continuous campaigning.

Oak Bay pesticide regulations confusing When Oak Bay council was discussing a petition to ban the use of cosmetic pesticides I did not attend the meetings, reckoning that the proposal was being pushed by a group of organic gardeners wishing to forbid the use of persistent chemicals. I was OK with this. In any case, the sale of persistent substances is already banned

federally and the list includes DDT and the organophospates referred to by Ann Kuczpera In her Sept. 7 letter. I deal with minor problems in my garden using traditional remedies such as Bordeau mixture, flowers of sulphur, pyrethrum spray and a spade. Last year my tomatoes got late blight which was a disaster and to avoid a repeat this

year I have given the plants a light preventive spray of Bordeau mixture. Reading the instructions I noticed that the product had a PCP number. These numbers are given under the federal Pesticides Act and warrant that the product is safe and effective for the stated use. This is reassuring. Unfortunately the regulations issued by Oak Bay council

Readers respond: the library lockout Museum popular choice for former CPR building At this year’s Classic Boat Festival, the public were all too keen to learn when and whether the Maritime Museum was moving into the former CPR Steamship building. This move is the logical choice. Other alternatives leave the public utterly disenchanted. Local government should realize that the museum contains a valuable part of B.C.’s seafaring heritage in one of the largest collections of maritime artifacts in Canada, including some from the CPR itself, and one worthy of a unique destination on the waterfront. The provincial and local governments should know that by enabling the Maritime Museum to move into the CPR building, and providing funding to keep it running, a wealth of B.C. heritage would be saved for future generations to enjoy. This new location would help the

museum become more viable and attract more visitors. Victoria cannot afford to lose or ignore its maritime history nor its Maritime Museum. Victoria needs an amazing building for its amazing sea stories. Maggie McNeil-Smith Victoria

Readers laments loss of tearoom There is a problem in the heart of Oak Bay. I have had visitors approach me to see where they can find a tearoom just for a cup of tea and a goodie. I have had to tell them that there aren’t any left. Unfortunately all we have are bistros, which is not a tearoom as seniors know it. White Heather Tearoom is blocks away, too far for seniors to walk. Have they forgotten that there are so many seniors in Oak Bay that would like to just

drop in for tea? Could some entrepreneur see the potential in Oak Bay and come up with something suitable? Edyta Sahlen Oak Bay

Common sense prevails when it comes to wildlife I was sad to see that another black bear had been shot and killed. This time a mother bear with her cubs, which is shocking, as this mother bear was protecting her cubs from a barking dog. This bear and her cubs should have been tranquilized and taken to a remote area. Also, people should keep garbage secured so bears cannot get inside, as this was the case in this instance. I hope this slaughter of our wildlife will stop, as we have to learn to live with them. They are part of our environment and should be treated with respect. Iris Nunn Saanich

define a banned substance as any product given a PCP number. In other words anything that works is forbidden. Included in the forbidden list are traditional remedies used for centuries and commonly used by organic gardeners. Sulphur and pyrethrum, both regarded as natural, are issued PCP numbers. Was the purpose of the original petitioners to ban organic gardening or is this an accidental result of the way the regulations were drawn up? At the moment I am breaking the law and would like council to revisit the regulations. Joe Harvey Oak Bay

ulie Harman is gearing up for her 14th year as organizer of the Tour de Rock celebrations in Sidney, and it’s unlikely she’ll give it up anytime in the foreseeable future. “That’s why I don’t want to quit because you get to a point where you can do it with your eyes closed,” she said. She tried once and learned her lesson. Back in 2008, Harman passed her volunteer torch to someone new, so she could focus on doing well in a medical course. With one week to go before the big event, introducing the riding team, the new volunteer backed out via email. “Year after year “I thought, ‘oh dear God … what am I I get the same chills going to do?’” when they ride into Harman had no town. Every single year choice. Juggling both duties, she delegated I get goosebumps and what she could. “We pulled off the get tearful. I have so event and it was much respect for what great,” she said. This year, the they do for the kids.” Sidney woman is – Julie Harman scaling back her involvement. On Oct. 6, she’ll oversee 10 volunteers to host the welcome reception as the Tour de Rock cyclists pass through town on the second last day of their tour of Vancouver Island. It involves a parade, head shaving, donut and hot dog sales and more. The emotional impact of the day never fades for Harman. “Year after year after year I get the same chills when they ride into town,” she said. “Every single year I get goosebumps and get tearful. I have so much respect for what they do for the kids.” All the funds raised by the cyclists and the community go to pediatric cancer research and Camp Goodtimes. Harman’s gratitude for having three healthy children, and two healthy grandchildren (soon to be three) fuels her commitment to the work. Her duties were especially difficult in 2000, when Harman lost her dad to cancer one month before the event. This year she has a new reason to help make the annual fundraiser a success. She is dedicating the Oct. 6 event to

Wednesday,September September21, 21,2011 2011 -- OAK OAK BAY BAY NEWS NEWS Wednesday,

AIDS message is worth repeating Erin Cardone News staff

Karen Dennis says she is lucky not to have HIV. As an intravenous drug user for 19 years, Dennis came into contact with her share of needles, which can transmit the disease. “By the grace of God, I guess, I never contracted HIV,” she said. Now that she’s the executive director of the Victoria AIDS Resource and Community Service Society, also known as VARCS, Dennis feels “so lucky to work with the underdogs” of the community – people who have HIV and are stigmatized because of their lifestyle.

“We’ve come a long way – it’s certainly not like it was 30 years ago. But now so much of the funding is put towards the substance abuse population that people now are associating the disease with that population,” she said. “Gay men are still at a huge risk, particularly young gay men who were not around for the big epidemic (in the 1980s).” Youth are also at a high risk of contracting the disease, Dennis added, in part because they didn’t experience the fear in the 1980s. Some may even be of the belief that the disease has been eradicated. “People 25 and younger account for half of all new infec-

tions worldwide. A lot of people don’t get tested and that’s the other unfortunate part.” She added people who have engaged in even just one highrisk activity – having sex without a condom or sharing a needle – should get tested for the disease. In Greater Victoria, 1,500 people are known to have HIV. To raise awareness of the disease and to raise money for AIDS research, VARCS is helping to host the Scotiabank AIDS Walk for Life tonight (Sept. 21). People are encouraged to walk, donate or volunteer for the event by going to www.aidswalkforlife. ca/victoria.htm. “I was around (the scene) 30

years ago and know a lot of people who passed away (from HIVAIDS),” Dennis said. “Anybody touched by HIV or wants to see this disease stop being spread, join the walk, because it honours those who paved the way and went through those horrible, brutal times of that pain and being disenfranchised. Many of them paid with their lives.” ecardone@vicnews.com

Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

Changes in Your Vision You may find it disturbing if you are not seeing things as clearly and sharply as you used to, but as people get older, certain changes in their vision will occur. For example, the pupils of the eyes tend to become smaller, and the crystalline lenses inside the eyes become less clear. You may need more light to see and read comfortably. The decrease in clarity of the crystalline lenses tends to scatter the light entering the eye. This can sometimes cause a fogging of vision or a decreased tolerance to bright headlight glare. As people age the eyes’ focusing ability decreases and it may become more difficult to change focus from distant to near objects and vice versa. These are just a few of the changes in your eyes that may be interfering with your ability to see well and comfortably. If you are experiencing any of these changes in your eyes or if you have other vision problems you feel need attention, have your eyes examined by your Optometrist.

Victoria history, life writing, mystery: it’s all up for discussion in Cadboro Bay this fall. Cadboro Bay Book Company is the new host of At the Mike, a series of talks that offers more than authors reading from their books. “There seemed to be room in the city or the community for an author series,” said Brindle and Glass publisher Ruth Linka, who relocated her business from Edmonton to Victoria. “It’s a series where we’re trying to bring together authors on topics or in genres where they have some common ground and bring them together with readers where we can have conversation and a better connection between readers and writers.” At the Mike began in 2007 at

Walking a crooked tour Winnipeg’s Crooked Brothers bring their varied country-folk-blues sound to the Fort Café, 742 Fort St., Thursday, Oct. 6 at 8 p.m. Tix: $10 at the door.

Downtown gallery offers more than just exhibit space UVic Art Collections manager thrilled with new digs Sam Van Schie News staff

Joy Davis still finds herself surprised when she steps out her office door and into the heart of downtown Victoria. She used to run the University of Victoria Art Collections from an office on campus, but that changed when the department took over operation of Legacy Gallery this summer. It’s been a month since the Yates Street facility re-opened from renovations that changed it from a café and gift shop to what is now UVic’s primary gallery venue. It now hosts curated shows and includes offices for collections staff, as well as teaching and research space for art students. “We’re bringing art closer to the community,” Davis said. “People wander through here on their lunch break. It’s a lot more convenient than a trip to the university.” Legacy first opened in 2007 as an arm of the UVic Bookstore. But it was always meant to be a gallery first, as a way to honour the late Michael Williams, the Victoria philanthropist and art lover who left virtually his entire estate to the university. “We have a lot more wall space to hang exhibits,” Davis said of the new layout.

“There’s a climate-controlled room where we can show some of the more sensitive pieces.” Williams’ collections of contemporary and First Nations art, along with works bequeathed by John and Katharine Maltwood, make up the bulk of the 27,000 pieces UVic Art Collections draws on for exhibits. The first show in the reopened gallery is Convergence/Divergence: Landscape and Identity of the West Coast. Continuing until Oct. 1, the exhibit features the works of some of the area’s best-known artists, including Emily Carr, E. J. Hughes and Norman Yates. Students gaining work experience at the gallery researched each piece to create the catalogue that goes along with the exhibit. They also worked with faculty from UVic’s anthropology department to produce a film of interviews with the artists. Giant maps of B.C., created by a UVic cartographer, are the basis for a community mapping exercise on one gallery wall. Visitors tag locations with yellow sticky notes, noting memories they have of that place. “We want to continue to build connections with other departments (at UVic),” Davis said. “When we get an idea, we have a wealth of experts on campus to draw on.”

Family Fun at the Pools! Everyone Welcome Swims at Saanich Commonwealth Place and Gordon Head Recreation Centre

Don Denton/News staff

Curatorial assistant and University of Victoria student Loring Rochacewich hangs a piece by Richard Hunt at UVic’s Legacy Gallery on Yates Street. The next exhibit, opening Oct. 5, is In Her Own Words: Works and Writings by Emily Carr, Katharine Maltwood and Myfanwy Pavelic. The staff will put the show together with help from the women’s studies department. “This is a place to learn, as much as a place to look at art,” Davis said. Upstairs, in rooms closed to the public, art students meet a couple times per week for classes based around the Williams collection. It’s a rare opportunity for them to have original works they can look at in the

classroom, rather than just slides. The gallery is also home to the City Talks lecture series. It kick-starts its second season tomorrow (Sept. 22 at 7:30 p.m.) with a talk by Columbia University’s Jean Howard called Theatre and the City: Early Modern London in Reality and on the Stage. Legacy Art Gallery is located at 630 Yates St., open Wednesday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with no admission charge. For details see legacygallery.ca. news@goldstreamgazette.com

Calendar idea has unlikely origin

ARTS EVENTS

Christine van Reeuwyk

Raise the Floor for new studio

News staff

Peninsula architecture, from churches to historic Glamorgan Farm, and seaside sights such as the Brentwood ferry terminal and Sidney’s fish market make appearances in the 2012 Salish Coast Calendar. “It’s not completely my brainstorm. I was inspired by a calendar called the Bermuda Colours Calendar. It’s been going about 15 years or more in Bermuda,” said Saanich artist and calendar selfpublisher Suzanne Heron. She used photographs and digitally altered them to suit her vision. “It’s been a process, coming to grips with myself as an artist,” she said. “I’ve realized that anytime you start altering the image, you’re taking artistic licence. What

Christine van Reeuwyk/News staff

Suzanne Heron shows her first Salish Coast Calendar. I’m after (is) something that’s more evocative.” The opportunity to create the calendar came when

one door closed and another opened. While looking at applying for employment insurance, Heron discovered a federal self-employment program. “It provides an extremely modest wage for 40 weeks, and incredible business coaching,” she said. The coaching came from the Reger Group in Victoria, and from there, Heron was inspired to launch Blue Heron Publishing this year. “The main front-end activity is finding out if you have a valid idea, and doing a lot of market research,” Heron said, adding her coach advised to not “put all your eggs in one geographic basket.” After speaking to retailers around the Capital Region, she came up with a line of cards and a perpetual calendar of Salt Spring artists to go with the original idea. Neighbourhoods, build-

ings and natural places from around the region are represented in the calendar. Tidbits of local history, ecology and traditions are also included, as are monthly recipes from area chefs. “A sense of place and feeling connected to a place is really, really important to me,” Heron said. “It made sense that I wanted to promote that for other people; a sense of community, a sense of belonging, a sense of ‘oh, isn’t that cool? I know that fact.’” The two back pages also contain links to interesting things to see and do around Greater Victoria. For locations where the calendar can be purchased, or to submit favourite places for the 2013 calendar, email suz.heron@gmail.com. reporter@peninsulanews review.com

1 out of 3 Canadians suffer from Thyroid Disease! The most common form of Thyroid Disease is low thyroid. Consider low thyroid function if you experience fatigue or sluggishness, hair or eyebrow loss, weight gain or coldness in your extremities. Clinically low thyroid, as conﬁrmed by your doctor, requires prescription medication. However, supplementing a healthy diet with ThyroSense® will help promote balance to your thyroid. ThyroSense® is recommended by health professionals to help with the symptoms of low thyroid, and is safe to use for those already on medication for low thyroid.

Cranky? PMS? Bloated? Acne? Up to 80% of all women are estimated to experience symptoms of PMS during their reproductive years. The most prominent cause of hormone imbalance related symptoms is excessive estrogen, including exposure to the birth control pill, pesticides and other environmental toxins. Symptoms can include PMS, endometriosis, ﬁbrocystic breast disease, heavy and painful periods, hormonal acne and more…

IF A TREE KNOCKS DOWN A POWER LINE, YOUR SMART METER WILL CALL FOR HELP FASTER THAN YOU CAN READ THIS. BC Hydro will be changing the old power meters on homes in BC to new smart meters. In the event of a power outage today, you need to let BC Hydro know there’s a problem. Unlike your current meter, smart meters will report

a power outage immediately, so we can restore your power faster. It’s all part of the plan to renew BC’s electrical systems, to ensure clean, reliable power for generations to come. Learn more at bchydro.com/smartmeters

EstroSense is recommended by health professionals and contains natural ingredients to help reduce the symptoms of estrogen dominance. ®

What health professionals are saying about EstroSense… In my practice I highly recommend EstroSense for women suffering estrogen dominance with conditions such as PMS, heavy periods, endometriosis, fibrocystic breasts, perimenopause and those women using any hormone supplements. Dr. Alvin Pettle, MD, F.R.C.S. (C) As a Naturopathic Doctor, I strongly recommend EstroSense for healthy hormone metabolism in women with PMS, irregular periods, heavy bleeding, fibroids or those taking hormone replacement therapy. Dr. Marita Schauch BSc. ND I love EstroSense’s unique blend of hormone balancing and detoxifying nutrients. I recommend it to my patients with a variety of hormonally related conditions, such as PMS, fibroids, endometriosis, and peri-menopause, including those on natural hormone therapy. EstroSense is also great for maintaining breast health at any age. Dr. Hyla Cass MD, author of 8 Weeks to Vibrant Health

In pursuit of lasting peace Ex Camosun teacher wants Ottawa to create Department of Peace Travis Paterson News staff

When Canada started its pullout of Afghanistan this summer it opened a window of opportunity, a chance to return to its lost days as an international model of peacekeeping. Today (Sept. 21) is the International Day of Peace, as established by the United Nations in 1981. From where Dr. Saul Arbess sits, it’s also a chance for Canada to re-establish itself as a world leader in peacekeeping. “(The Royal Bank of Canada) released a report that said peace is practical,” said Arbess, a retired cultural anthropologist living in Fairfield. “This is the country that invented peacekeeping. We were leaders with 90,000 Canadian peacekeepers around the world. These are soldiers trained to promote cease-fire and resolutions to set the stage for diplomatic (negotiations). Now Canada has so few peacekeepers they could fit on a school bus.” A McGill grad who ended his instructing career with 10 years at Camosun College, Arbess is a founding

In 2009, Bill C-447 was read in the House of Commons by New Democrat MP Bill Siksay (Burnaby-Douglas) and seconded by Liberal MP Jim Karygiannis (ScarboroughAgincourt). The next step for Siksay was motion M-463 but a dissolved parliament ended his term. “We knew (initially) it wouldn’t succeed in being passed but it brings tremendous awareness,” Arbess said.

University students net fellowships Two University of Victoria master of science students earned graduate fellowships from the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions. Jason Straka, studying in the school of environmental studies, will examine to what extent climate change is contributing to the collapse of pollinator communities, such as bees, flies and butterflies. Matthew Ooms, masters candidate with the Institute for Integrated Energy Systems, will study the use of photosynthetic bacteria, instead of crop plants, as a biofuel. The fellowships are worth up to $12,000 each. “Finding solutions for mitigating or adapting to the impacts of climate changes is one of the key objectives of PICS,” said institute executive director Tom Pedersen. “These candidates will be instrumental in continuing that momentum.” rholmen@vicnews.com

Online genealogy resource helps students Ryan Flaherty News staff

The Victoria Genealogical Society has launched a new online resource for students and teachers. Genealogy In the Classroom is the product of a year’s work by a group of volunteers from the society, many of whom have teaching backgrounds. “Our goal was to develop a fun and engaging way of introducing school-aged students to the world of genealogy,”

Leslie Lee was stunned when she received a call last spring asking if her students could use some backpacks filled with school supplies. The George Jay elementary principal’s immediate response was ‘yes’ to the caller from Start to Finish, a national anti-poverty group. “I asked for 50 or 75 and they said, ‘how about 100?’ I was amazed.”

It was the first year the non-profit organization had donated backpacks – filled with pencils, notebooks, erasers and other supplies – to the school. Packs were distributed to teachers for handing out to students from needy families during the first week of classes. “Some families have five kids coming to school,” Lee said, adding that packs get handed out discreetly. Six hundred other students in the Capital Region will also receive backpacks filled with school supplies, courtesy of retired and current Telus staff. Packs were delivered to 40 schools this summer. Schools that would like to receive packs can contact Telus at ambassadors@telus.com. vmoreau@oakbaynews.com

Breaking down the Royals’ B.C. division Black Press reporters preview the B.C. division for 2011-12 Kamloops Blazers Last season: 29-37-3-3, ninth in Western Conference, fifth in B.C. Division — missed playoffs for second time in franchise history. Coaching staff: Head coach, Guy Charron (second full season); associate coach, Dave Hunchak (first season); assistant coach, Ed Patterson (first season); skills coach, Mike Needham (first season); goaltenders’ coach, Dan De Palma (third season). Key losses: D Corey Fienhage and G Jeff Bosch, both of whom played out their eligibility. The 20-year-olds: D Bronson Maschmeyer, D Josh Caron and F Chase Schaber. The imports: D Marek Hrbas and F Tim Bozon. Key Returnees: D Maschmeyer, D Caron, F Schaber, F Brendan Ranford, F J.T. Barnett, F Dylan Willick, F Colin Smith, F Jordan DePape and D Austin Madaisky. New faces: Hrbas, Bozon, G Taran Kozun, G Cole Cheveldave, G Cam Lanigan, D Tyler Bell. Blazer bits: Kamloops sent eight players — forwards Schaber, Ranford, Willick, DePape, Barnett, Colin Smith and defencemen Madaisky and Caron — to NHL training camps. The prognosis: The rebuilding days are over and it’s time for Kamloops to compete for a B.C. Division title. This is the fourth year of Blazers’ GM Craig Bonner’s five-year plan and Kamloops’ roster consists largely of experienced 18- and 19-year old players. If the Blazers stay healthy and maintain discipline a division title isn’t out of the question.

Kelowna Rockets Last season: 43-28-0-1, fourth in Western Conference, first in B.C. division. Swept Prince George in first round of playoffs, lost to Portland in second. Head coach: Ryan Huska (fifth season, ninth on staff). Assistants: Ryan Cuthbert (sixth season), Dan Lambert (third season), and Kim Dillabaugh (ninth season). Key losses: D Tyson Barrie (turning pro), F Geordie Wudrick and F Evan Bloodoff. F Mitchell Callahan could be back as a 20-year-old but is expected to begin his pro career with the Red Wings’ organization. The 20-year-olds: G Adam Brown, F Cody Chikie, and D Kevin Smith.

The imports: F Filip Vasko, 17 (Slovakia). Key returnees: F Shane McColgan, F Colton Sissons, F Brett Bulmer, F Zach Franko, D Colton Jobke and G Adam Brown. New faces: Four 16-year-old rookies on the roster— defencemen Jesse Lees and Madison Bowey, and forwards Tyson Baillie and Austin Ferguson. The Rockets are a young, skilled group with 10 players on the roster 17-years old or younger.

Prince George Cougars Last season: 33-35-2-2, seventh in Western Conference, fourth in B.C. division: Swept by Kelowna Rockets in first round of the playoffs Head coach: Dean Clark (third season, 15th overall) Assistants: Jason Becker (third season), Brent Arsenault (seventh season) and goaltending coach Phil Guenter (first season) Key losses: F Taylor Stefishen, F James Dobrowolski and D Sena Acolatse. Acolatse signed an entry-level contract with the San Jose Sharks while Stefishen got recruited by the University of Calgary Dinos. The 20-year-olds: G Drew Owsley, F Spencer Asuchak, D Cody Carlson. Import: D Martin Marincin (Slovakia). Key returnees: If they return from pro camps, 1992-born skaters Brett Connolly (Tampa Bay Lightning) and Martin Marincin (Edmonton Oilers) will play significant roles on this team. Connolly led the team in 2010-11 with 46 goals in 59 games. Marincin was eighth in scoring among defencemen, with 56 points in 67 games. New faces: G Drew Owsley, G Devon Fordyce and F Alex Forsberg. Watch for: Brett Conolly, if he returns, to challenge for the lead in WHL goals.

Vancouver Giants Last season: 35-32-1-4, fifth in Western Conference, second in B.C. division. Lost to the Tri City Americans in four games in the first round of the playoffs. Head coach: Don Hay (seventh season, 13th in WHL). Assistants: Glen Hanlon (first season), Yogi Svejkovsky (sixth season). Goaltending coach: Paul Frickr (first season). Key losses: F Spencer Bennett, G Mark Segal, F Andrej Stastny. The 20-year-olds: F James Henry, D Neil Manning, F Michael Burns. Key returnees: Besides the 20-yearolds, F Brendan Gallagher, D David Musil, F Marek Tvrdon, F Dalton Sward. New faces: F Anthony Ast. Watch for: A big return from little Brendan Gallagher. Gallagher is a leading candidate to make Team Canada for the 2012 World Junior hockey championship, Dec. 26 to Jan. 5 in Calgary and Edmonton.

Victoria Royals

Last season (as the Chilliwack Bruins): 33-31-4-4, sixth in Western Conference, third in B.C. division. Lost to the Spokane Chiefs in five games in the first round of the playoffs. Head coach: Marc Habscheid (third season, 10th in WHL). Assistants: Enio Sacilotto (second season), Ben Cooper, (first season), Craig Didmon (first season). Key losses: F Ryan Howse, D Brandon Manning, F Roman Horak, F Dylen McKinlay and G Lucas Gore have all graduated. D Mitch Topping was traded. The 20-year-olds: D Hayden Rintoul, D Curt Gogol, F Robin Soudek, G Braden Gamble. The imports: Robin Soudek and Lucas Kralik (both Czech Republic). Key returnees: F Kevin Sundher, F Robin Soudek, D Tyler Stahl, F Curt Gogol, F Steven Hodges, F Brandon Magee. Gone are the top two scorers from last year, Howse and Horak, as well as the captain and top-scoring defenceman Manning. Between Hodges, Magee and a few others, 100 goals needs to be replaced. New faces: Hayden Rintoul joined the Royals in June in a trade from the WHL champion Kootenay Ice. Rintoul played 19 playoff games last year. Island-raised Kade Pilton, still just 16 and already 6-foot-5, 185 pounds, has shown strong offensive instincts from the blue line during the preseason. Lucas Kralik comes from the Czech Republic, the Royals top pick in the 2011 CHL Import draft (36th overall). Watch for: Kevin Sundher’s growth as an intelligent player to infect the team. Sundher, a Buffalo Sabres prospect, isn’t the biggest player but is as fast as anyone in the league and knows his team needs to be a nuisance to play against for them to be successful. Just notes: Feisty forward Curt Gogol attended the San Jose Sharks rookie camp as a free agent signing while Sundher experienced his second rookie camp with the Sabres having made it to main camp in 2010. An injury hampered Carolina Hurricanes’ prospect Tyler Stahl’s NHL training camp. Prediction: With unanswered questions about the Royals’ offence, the 2011-12 season could be the franchise’s worst (not that fans from Chilliwack will care). Then again, in five years the club has managed four playoff appearances and has a bevy of young defencemen ready to step up. If they get the necessary goaltending, a defensive-minded Royals’ team could exceed the 30-win plateau. Crowd control: Mad Mondays will see a limited amount of $5 tix released for the next home game. The Royals drew 5,036 for their only preseason home game versus the Kelowna Rockets. sports@vicnews.com Centering game: Slovakian import Marek Tvrdon missed most of last season with a shoulder injury. Regardless, his six goals and five assists in the dozen games he played got him drafted to the Detroit Red Wings. The question is, who will

centre Gallagher (97 points) and Tvrdon on the first line? Leading candidates are Jordan Martinook, Teal Burns and James Henry. Prediction: Don Hay’s gang should pull in another 40-win season.

Cougars, Panthers in finals rematch

Emily Schmidt

Diver fifth at Pan Am juniors

Saanich diver Emily Schmidt finished fifth overall in the 10-metre platform, her best result at the Pan American Junior Diving championships in the outdoor elements of Medellin, Columbia, Sept. 8 to 11. Schmidt competed in the girls’ 12- and 13-year-old division and was the only Boardworks diver on Canada’s 24-member national junior diving team. She also managed ninth overall in the 1m springboard and eighth in the 3m, out of 12 divers in each final heat.

Two weeks into the season and the Victoria Cougars are the lone team to remain undefeated in the junior-B Island league. On Thursday, the Cougars (4-0) face the B.C. champion Peninsula Panthers (2-2) for the first time since the Cougars thumped the Panthers 12-2 in a Sept. 1 preseason game. Game time is 7:15 p.m. at Archie Browning arena. It’s also the first meaningful game between the two teams since the Panthers overcame a 3-0 series deficit to the Cougars in the Island league finals last season. The Panthers stormed back with four-straight wins for the Island trophy and then won the Cyclone Taylor Cup provincial championship. The combined rosters feature 21 players from the Island finals.

GIVE THEM A PAPER ROUTE! A paper route is about so much more than money. These days kids want and need so many things. With a paper route they not only earn the money to buy those things, they also gain a new respect for themselves. They discover a new sense of confidence, power and control by having their very own job, making their own money and paying for their own games, phones and time with friends. All it takes is an hour or so after school Wednesday and Friday. And even better... there are no collections required.

It’s so easy to get started… call
