Teaching food security Reynolds students raise hens to give to families to promote local food sources

Last year, Saanich eased up on its backyard chicken bylaws, allowing for up to five hens – roosters aren’t allowed – on single-family properties that are 557-square-metres or larger. Eggs can’t be sold and the chickens can’t be slaughtered.

Saanich-based comic book artist Ken Steacy in his studio, surrounded by some of the iconic images he has helped illustrate over the years.

Camosun appeals to aspiring comic artists Comics and graphic novels program begins in the fall Natalie North News staff

Before Ken Steacy was honoured for his lifetime of achievement in the comic book industry, he was just a guy with a pathological need to draw. The co-creator of a newly developed comic and graphic novels certificate program at Camosun College, Steacy says the budding artists he meets have that same drive to tell stories – though everything else about the creation of comics has changed. “I was like that,” Steacy said. “I would get really nervous if I didn’t have a pencil in my hand and a pad of paper to draw on.” Since first creating fan ’zines in the 1970s, Steacy has written and illustrated the escapades of Astro Boy, Harry Potter, Batman, Ultraman, Spider-Man and The X-Men. His collaborators include the likes of George Lucas, Douglas Coupland and his wife Joan Steacy, a visual artist and author/illustrator of graphic novels. The couple, who have lived in Greater Victoria since 1987, co-created the pro-

four-part autobiographic novel, Aurora Borealice will debut at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival 2012 next month (May 5 to 6). The series inspired Ken Steacy to create his own autobiographic novel, currently in development. ■ Tentatively titled T-Bird, the narrative draws on his own experience in a military family through the fictionalized characters of a retired air force pilot and his son as the two rebuild their relationship. gram to fill a void in comic arts training on the West Coast and to offer opportunities that weren’t available while they were embarking on their own careers. “Everything has changed since we got into the industry,” Steacy said. “You had to live and work in New York City. Comics were distributed through a very archaic and wasteful distribution system. That has been changing and evolving over time. This is such a wonderful time to be here.” The eight-month program follows the success of a single visual storytelling

course the Steacys taught last October through the college’s continuing education department. While the comic book industry remains robust despite the economy, Steacy said, the course is aimed at students who wish to work in graphic novels, web comics, comic strips, “edutainment” comics and storyboards for film, television and video games. It covers technique and life drawing, as well as printing, publishing and promotion. Students will also take part in a festival to showcase their work at the end of the program. The writing component of the class will be taught by Camosun creative writing instructors. “These aren’t just illustrated stories. It really is a way of making words and pictures work together to make that wonderful synergy where one-plus-one equals three.” The eight-month program will cost students $9,166 in tuition and fees. As of Monday, the course was nearly at capacity. For aspiring artists who won’t be among the 16 registered for the fall, Steacy suggests they follow his lead and hold onto their pencils. “Draw. Draw all the time. Never stop drawing. … Draw for the absolute love of drawing.” nnorth@saanichnews.com

Cutting communications for comics? Camosun College’s announcement of the new comic arts program mere weeks after suspending the popular applied communications program may raise a few eyebrows, but it’s not fair to compare the two offerings, said a spokesperson for the college. The comics and graphic novel certificate program is considered an entrepreneurial activity and does not fall under the school’s base budget. The popular media generalist applied communication program did.

The “top dollar” tuition of the comic arts program goes beyond covering costs and is intended to generate revenue, similar to the college’s international student enrolment, spokesperson Joan Yates said. “It’s a ‘let’s see if it’ll fly and make us some money’ type of program, quite frankly,” she said. While she could not confirm how profit the program is expected to generate, the average for other moneymaking classes is between 18 to 22 per cent profit.

Leading Seaman Patrick Moulden digs in the dirt of a well-worn footpath to unearth a homemade bomb that he must diffuse with only his bare hands. There is no time to call in his bomb disposal team or even don his protective suit. Moulden, a navy clearance diver from CFB Esquimalt’s Fleet Diving Unit, must work quickly so that a U.S. Black Hawk helicopter can safely land and transport wounded soldier Pte. Brock Blaszczyk to the Kandahar Airfield camp in Afghanistan. Minutes earlier, Blaszczyk stepped on an improvised explosive device on the same footpath. One of his legs just Leading Seaman above the knee was vaporPatrick Moulden ized, the other is in tatters. “What that meant for me as an IED operator, if I don’t act immediately, threat to human life is imminent, and so risk to the operator’s life is acceptable in that case,” Moulden said, recalling the most dangerous moment of his eightmonth tour to the war-torn nation, from 2009-10. “It’s called hand dismantle – I take the thing apart by hand and take whatever risk was necessary because he was going to die if I didn’t,” the Victoria resident said. Thirty seconds after Moulden dismantles the bomb, the chopper lands and whisks the injured solider to hospital. “Not only were they able to save his life, they were able to reattach one of his legs,” Moulden said. Today, Blaszczyk is a corporal at CFB Edmonton. For Moulden’s heroics on April 3, 2010, he was presented a Medal of Bravery by Gov. Gen. David Johnston, during a ceremony at Rideau Hall in Ottawa on Friday. Moulden was among 36 Medal of Bravery recipients, including navy Lt. André Bard, also from Victoria. The medals were created in 1972 to recognize acts of bravery in hazardous circumstances. Bard will never forget being called out by the RCMP to comb the depths of a pond Navy Lt. in Stewiacke, N.S. in 2009 for André Bard a live grenade. “(We were) basically sticking our hands deep in the mud every time the metal detector went off, and fishing out whatever we could find,” said Bard, today the operations officer of CFB Esquimalt’s Fleet Diving Unit. “If we stepped on it, or mishandled it, then things could have been bad, but you don’t think about stuff like that when you’re doing it.” Bard’s dive partner, Leading Seaman David Denman of Shearwater, N.S., who received his Medal of Bravery in February, found the grenade near the shoreline. emccracken@vicnews.com

A total of 21,625 teachers voted in favour of the federation’s action plan, while 7,846 voted against further action. Meanwhile, on the same day, the B.C. Labour Relations Board ordered teachers immediately prepare report cards for work completed from the beginning of the year until March 17, in addition to June report cards. The reports are due by April 27 (Friday). For School Bike League commissioner Eric Simonson of Oak Bay High, the vote comes at a bad time for athletics. “Many coaches (like me) think it is unfair to withdraw from extracurricular (activities),” he said. “I know other coaches will keep coaching despite the vote.” In the Saanich School District, which covers the Peninsula and the northern tip of Saanich, teachers began withdrawing from extracurricular activities prior to the BCTF vote. Though the Saanich Teachers’ Association voted in March in favour of withdrawing from extracurricular

Sports tournaments and graduation ceremonies could be the latest casualties in the ongoing labour dispute between public school teachers and the province. Teachers voted overwhelmingly in favour of further resisting the government’s back-to-work-legislation in a plan that includes pulling out of extracurricular activities such as coaching and graduation ceremony planning. It’s a clear message that has left more uncertainty among parents and educators alike. The B.C. Teachers’ Federation announced Friday (April 20) that 73 per cent of teachers who participated in a provincewide vote support stepping up their protests against Bill 22, the Education Improvement Act.

K-12 support staff sign collective agreements Educational support staff in Greater Victoria and Saanich are among unionized workers who have signed two-year collective agreements under the province’s net-zero mandate. The latest negotiated agreements were reached between the British Columbia Public School Employers’ Association, bargaining agent for the province’s 60 boards of education, and union bargaining teams representing about 8,300 kindergarten to Grade 12 support workers across 10 school districts. The two-year collective agreements were ratified at the local level in December 2011 and are just now being announced as nearly all remaining contracts for support staff across the province are approved by the employers’ association board.

the bigger picture and the longer term.” The Education Improvement Act was passed March 15 following months of work-to-rule job action by the province’s 41,000 teachers and a provincewide walkout March 5. The legislation includes fines of $1.3 million a day for the union and $475 a day for individual teachers who continue to strike. While talks between teachers and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association centred around class size and composition, as well as teacher prep time, the two sides were ultimately polarized over the government’s unwillingness to diverge from a two-year freeze on wage increases. nnorth@saanichnews.com - with files from Travis Paterson

How participation may change once the directive comes from the provincial federation is unknown, Hayes said. The plan also launches a public awareness campaign and opens the possibility of a second union vote on a full walkout. In a BCTF release, union president Susan Lambert called the decision to withdraw from extracurricular activities “wrenching.” “Teachers struggle with this because these activities bring so much joy to our engagement with students,” Lambert said. “We know this will mean the loss of some highly valued activities, and we sincerely regret that.

Looking to tell museum’s stories Roszan Holmen

New Royal B.C. Museum CEO Jack Lohman stands in the ethnography department with items from the museum’s First Nations’ collection. The facility can improve the way it tells the stories of indigenous people, he says.

News staff

Don Denton/News staff

New CEO brings wealth of international experience to the Royal B.C. Museum Jack Lohman was first struck with the First Peoples Gallery when he travelled to Victoria in the 1990s for a research project in South Africa. “I came here looking at the way in which museums tell the story of indigenous people,” says Lohman, who replaced Pauline Rafferty as CEO of the Royal B.C. Museum in March. Back in 1999, Lohman had been appointed CEO of a collective representing 15 national museums and based in Cape Town. “When I arrived, black people’s history was in the natural history museum and white people’s history was in the cultural history museum,” he recalls. Similarly, white artifacts were displayed on pedestals while African art was displayed in cases on the floor. “The first thing I did was put a shutter down (on the displays) … It was the last bastion of Apartheid,” he says. Lohman’s post in South Africa represents only one of a long list of international experiences. His resumé includes director of the Museum of London, chair of the National Museum in Warsaw, Poland, and advisor to the Museum of Slavery in Qatar and the Institute for National Museums of Rwanda. Speaking about his decision to come to Victoria, Lohman dismisses the suggestion that he’s accepted a position in a small and sleepy city compared to his previous engagements. “There is a challenge here,” he says. “Museums say they tell stories, but I really am interested to see. Give me an example of where they tell stories. I want to prove that you can.” While he compliments the museum’s exhibitry, he’s clear it falls short on its ability to communicate to its audience. With fresh eyes, he strolls through the displays, doling out both praise and criticism. “All these objects have come from somewhere. They’ve all got stories and you’ve got to think about what is it we want people to know about … what do we want them thinking about?” Illustrated panels depicting the colonists’ early encounter with First Nations he calls “cheesy,” adding the museum needs to find a new way of telling this story. Atmosphere is of utmost importance to Lohman.

For his line-up of media interviews, to introduce him to the community, he has carefully crafted the setting: a table for two in the dimly-lit First Peoples Gallery surrounded by totem poles and audio recordings of frogs and chanting. “Gosh, this is an exceptional view,” he says, switching gears mid point. “Look at the size of these trees! … They’re staggering.” Visitors to the museum don’t remember the facts and figures, Lohman says. “But they remember the emotion of being in the atmosphere of these very special walk-through set pieces, I think.” Tim Willis, director of exhibitions and visitor experience, agrees. “We’ve been working for a while on a plan to renew the entire visitor experience,” he says. “It’s just so exciting to have somebody like Jack start and find oneself fully aligned with his perspective.” When the galleries were built in the 1970s, they were state of the art, Willis says. Today, the galleries give the impression of having been deserted, he says. “What we now know is visitors have a great appetite to know the tensions and struggles and joys of people in the past.” rholmen@vicnews.com

UVic hosts astronomy day Family-friendly event features lectures, workshops and stargazing Brittany Lee News staff

Greater Victoria residents are invited to get a closer view of space as the University of Victoria hosts its annual Astronomy Day celebration featuring Bob McDonald, host of CBC Radio’s Quirks & Quarks, April 28. The event features family-friendly activities throughout the day, including telescope making, solar viewing, astrophotography workshops, hourly lectures, and an outdoor planetary walk. In the evening (weather permitting), guests can stargaze through a large, 32-inch telescope on the roof of the Bob Wright Centre. McDonald will share his views on how space has evolved during his lifetime, in a presentation titled Vacations in Space: The Hottest Holiday Spots in the Solar System. “As a journalist, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing the exploration of our solar system by robot,” he said. “I wanted to give

a little travelogue of how I’ve felt like a passenger on Columbus’ ship as we’ve explored new worlds.” McDonald will have pictures of discoveries, such as Mars’ pink sky, Jupiter’s ring, and volcanoes and oceans located on moons, to share. He encourages folks to come out and celebrate because there is a lot to learn about our universe. “There’s so much we don’t know about our universe … 95 per cent of the universe is something totally mysterious to us,” McDonald said. People need to realize how small and precious Earth is, and we need to take Bob McDonald care of our planet because it’s the only planet humans can live on, he added. Astronomy Day runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with evening activities from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., at UVic’s Bob Wright Centre, located east of the Elliott Building and south of parking lot B. McDonald’s speech starts at 7:30 p.m. in room A104 of the Centre. All-day parking is available for $2.25 but admission to the event is free.

What Saanich Parents Need to Know The Saanich School District is planning to extend Spring Break to two weeks. That means ﬁve fewer days your children will be in the classroom learning. It means less support for children with special needs and more costs downloaded to families who will have to ﬁnd child care. By proposing the move, the District is trying to save an estimated $150,000. They’re also looking to cut $500,000 in other services to create a contingency fund. These measures are about the bottom line, not education. In past years, the Trustees have

rejected the two week spring break proposal as there is no educational value to it. Adding a few minutes to each day of classes throughout the year does not make up for ﬁve full days of quality instructional time. The Canadian Union of Public Employees members (CUPE 441) who work in, and have children attending Saanich schools are very concerned about these proposals. Please come to School District 63’s public consultation meeting tonight, Wednesday, April 25, at Bayside Middle School to

learn more and express your concerns concerns. The meeting starts at 7:00pm. You can also email lglancie@sd63.bc.ca with your thoughts and concerns regarding the proposed two week Spring Break or visit the School District website at www.sd63. bc.ca for Budget information. CUPE 441 represents over 400 employees in Saanich’s schools. We are school support workers, education assistants, technical and library support staff, as well as clerical, transportation, custodial and maintenance workers.

We are committed to protecting public education and keeping our schools clean, safe, and vibrant for students and the entire community.

Grandstanding at its finest Ontario-based Conservative MP Kellie Leitch was in Victoria recently to announce federal funding for projects that enhanced accessibility. The down-to-earth MP, parliamentary secretary to Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development Dianne Finley, did her best to make the announcement sound relevant to her location. The Blanshard Community Centre, site of the April 12 press conference, was given $50,000 in a previous round of funding to upgrade its playground. That work was completed last year, much to the delight of centre users and their children. Asked to confirm any Greater Victoria projects among the 187 that will receive the new funding, representatives did not supply any. A similarly curious situation happened at Ogden Point last week, when Conservative cabinet minister and Lower Mainland MP James Moore, along with B.C. Liberal cabinet minister Blair Lekstrom, were on hand to greet the first cruise ship of the 2012 season. Neither was announcing anything new, only to remind the public that the feds and province chipped in to help the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority build a new mooring dolphin that extended the length of a pier at Ogden Point. Installation of the dolphin, which enables even larger cruise ships to tie up at Ogden Point, was completed almost two years ago. Funding for the project? That was announced back in 2010. We shouldn’t be surprised at these types of appearances by government politicians, as they happen all the time. What’s frustrating as journalists is having to cut through the smokescreen to determine whether the “media event” is related to anything currently happening or simply a rehashing of old news. To us, it’s a sign that governments feel they need a boost in public opinion. But the public is starting to see these highly orchestrated events for what they are and will eventually stop paying much attention, choosing instead to follow more pressing issues. After all, there’s a reason why it’s called “news,” not “olds.” What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@saanichnews.com or fax 250-386-2624.

Then we have B.C.’s third-largest political party, the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, which has already confirmed it will continue its long campaign to replace the B.C. Liberals with the NDP next year. Such a team brings impressive experience, but unfortunately for taxpayers, much of that experience has been in extracting money from the public treasury. And if recent B.C. history is any guide, this fundamental conflict of interest will receive little or no media attention in the months to come. Instead, the conventional wisdom will be that voters want “change.” • Correction: Last week’s column referred to the 1971 Greenpeace campaign against atmospheric nuclear testing. That protest boat was directed at a U.S. nuclear test off Alaska, not a Soviet test as stated. Subsequent Greenpeace protests targeted the Soviet slaughter of grey whales, and the last atmospheric nuclear tests, conducted by France in the South Pacific.

Evolution becoming outdated amid a tide of information Re: Believing in theory of evolution requires faith (Letters, April 13) Ruth Magnusson’s assertion that belief in evolution requires faith is true. Neither Gee’s rebuttal (Letters, April 18), nor Taylor’s (Letters, April 20), shows otherwise. Gee backs her statement that “evolution is fact” by appeal to the fossil record which doesn’t constitute proof any more than a tennis shoe on a cadaver proves it was a tennis player once. Fossils actually present Darwinian paleontologists with embarrassing problems. One is statis. The record shows that species exhibit no directional change. The other is sudden appearance. Species appear at once fully formed. Taylor gives a plausible, small “e” take on evolution, but the implicit assumption that origin-of-life is explained by applying the template of adaptability to all life processes (big “E” evolution) requires faith. Therefore it’s not surprising to see emotion when “E”ers confront their detractors. Gee mentions Copernicus, whose suncentred system was imagined without the telescope. Thanks to Hubble we now view immensity. Darwin and Copernicus made sense

of the evidence in their time. Today, Copernicus’ universe is a grain, and the electron microscope opens to a vastness as complex and baffling as space. The tide of new information cannot be contained by Darwinism, elastic as it is. It cannot explain the origin and complexity of information, intelligence itself. Looking out or in we see no end. Atoms give way to quarks and ultimatons, solar systems to galaxies and meta-galaxies. Our ant-like instruments are inadequate. The expanse is overwhelming and Darwinism decidedly underwhelming. Knowing this, one would expect more of “I don’t know” and, whatever the faith, a healthy dose of humility. Paul Clark Saanich

Dangerous drivers come in a variety of appearances The recent YouTube posting of a motorcycle weaving at high speed through traffic on our local highway is indeed evidence of dangerous driving, and, when caught, the rider will no doubt be heavily fined and sanctioned. However, the rush to condemn that rider’s actions ignores the less obvious, but just as troubling, failures of judgment by other drivers. In early February of this year in Delta

a woman swerved her car to avoid some ducks and lost control of her car, which then plunged into a water-filled ditch. Her son was the only person able to escape the partially submerged vehicle, and at age six bravely made his way to the road and flagged down a passing car. The happy ending was that all were saved. Consider that this event, described many times over the days that followed, contained not one comment regarding this woman’s behaviour as a driver. Her reaction at the wheel, in foolishly and recklessly swerving the vehicle beyond its capabilities, caused a loss of control which endangered her own life and the lives of her children. Unlike the motorcycle incident, a crash did occur. Had that crash been only slightly more violent, the three of them would be dead. And not a word has been said about the mother’s lack of judgment or lack of skill that resulted in the crash. She has received pity for very nearly killing her own children. The motorcycle rider will no doubt be vilified. As a professional driver for almost 40 years, who has witnessed nearly every act of stupidity possible on public roads, I do not share that pity. It seems, though, that society is hypocritical in its assessment of responsibility. Rhys Kent Saanich

NHL needs big changes to better protect players’ brains After watching Marian Hossa get taken off the ice on a stretcher, I said a prayer for him and then turned the TV off. As difficult as it’s going to be, I’m not watching any more of the playoffs. In my opinion, the NHL is sick. Some of the best young players on the planet have all missed far too many games this past year due to brain injuries. My guess is that all of them are one brain-jarring injury away from hanging their skates up or worse. The hockey culture at the top has to change. Get rid of Cherry, Milbury, McSorley, May and Kypreos. Who and what gives these goons the right to spew their hockey bullyism on national TV? The fact is none of these guys would have played in the NHL or got the platform they enjoy today if it wasn’t for the violence they brought with them. The NHL is trying to appeal to the same demographic as mixed martial arts. So people stand and cheer the gratuitous violence. Get rid of it and perhaps the caveman fans leave, but there are many more who have been turned off who will return and many more who will thrill to the speed and highlight reel plays, goals and saves.

On April 22, 70 years ago, a ship called the Princess Jones took Victorians of Japanese descent away from their homes for good. To mark the occasion on Sunday, historians Ann-Lee Switzer and her husband, Gordon, launched their new book about this vanished community. The Switzers discovered the need for the book while researching the Japanese cemetery in Victoria. “We thought that we could just look up the history of the Victoria-Japanese community and put it in our book about the cemetery,” Ann-Lee said. “But there was nothing … so we got to work.” Gateway to Promise: Canada’s first Japanese Community, covers the history of

nage by the Canadian government. The book covers the Japanese Tea Garden on the Gorge, the donation of cherry trees, the Methodist church and other contributions. “Although it was a small community, they were integrated into the (greater) community,” Ann-Lee said. After the Japanese military bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941, many Victorians expressed sympathy for their Japanese neighbours, she added. Through the research project, the Switzers got in touch with many of the survivors who left Victoria for good as teenagers. “Mostly they had happy memories of Victoria … and they didn’t, most of them, carry much bitterness,” Ann-Lee said. “Many of them still keep in touch with their friends in Victoria. It’s amazing.” rholmen@vicnews.com

AND IMPLEMENT COMMON RATES On April 11, 2012, the FortisBC Energy Utilities applied to the British Columbia Utilities Commission to amalgamate their natural gas utilities across the province and to implement common rates and services across their service areas starting January 1, 2014. Currently, FortisBC Energy Utilities is made up of three separate natural gas companies, operating in six service areas. The companies have their own services, service agreements (tariffs) and rates. If approved, the application would combine the three companies into one, under a single tariff, with common rates for the various regions. This Application has different implications for customers in each service area. If approved, customers in the Vancouver Island and Whistler service areas will see rate decreases, while customers in the Lower Mainland, Columbia, Inland, and Fort Nelson service areas will see an overall rate increase.

The Greater Victoria School District Board of Education trustee liked the image so much, she bought it from Lariviere-Brown on April 19. The surreal coloured pencil drawing features whales in the sky. “I’m really flattered,” Lariviere-Brown said. “I wasn’t expecting it. It’s a surprise.”

Oak Bay half-marathon on track for a strong year News staff

Registration numbers are up for the Oak Bay Half Marathon – a good sign for the race’s organizer who took on a personal debt for the love of the event last year. Dave Milne attributed a $15,000 loss in 2011 to poor weather and the involvement of a race director who spent more than the race was able to recoup on items such as increased capital spending and too much advertising. Milne, who owns two Peninsula Runners stores, covered the loss and has no apprehensions about the future of the race, now entering its eighth year. “It didn’t align with my frugal spending on this race,” Milne said of last year’s finances. “I’m back in charge and everything is back on track.” Several weeks before the May 13 event, more than 500 runners had registered – up about 100 from the same time last year. The race includes the half marathon, group relay and new this year, a five-kilometre run, which has thus far attracted 64 entrants. A two-kilometre kids’ challenge and 400-metre fun dash are also on the itinerary for the charity event. Proceeds generated support the Help Fill a Dream Foundation. Fees have been increased this year from last year’s $40 and $55 for early bird and regular registration to a $55 to $75 range, depending on how close to the race runners sign up. The team behind the half-marathon has been pared down to Milne, six part-time staff members and a crew of volunteers. More volunteers, specifically road marshals, are needed, Milne said. He hopes to see more than 1,073 finishers in the half marathon distance, in honour of its title sponsor, 107.3 Kool FM. Last year a little more than 1,000 people were registered in the 21-kilometre race, but only 785 finished – a number largely influenced by heavy raceday rains, Milne said. “It’s just a part of growing,” Milne said. “(Races) are not easy

“To get it up to 2,000 people, that costs money, that costs advertising. Risk is what it costs. … Not many people are willing to accept that risk and I am.”

Vision Matters Dr. Victor J. Chin

Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

Do you suffer from Allergic Eyes Do you abhor the idea of Victoria’s annual ﬂower count? Many Canadians are looking forward to the end of winter, but others may dread the spring for one red, itchy, watery reason: ocular allergies! Spring is often the beginning of the eye allergy cycle, when nature turns up the volume and tree pollen hangs heavily in the air. Some people suffer from eye allergies year-round, caused by a host of other culprits, including grass pollen, ragweed, and a variety of food, pet and chemical irritants. Allergic reactions are triggered by the body’s immune system in its best effort to protect your eyes from injury. Your immune system can’t tell the difference between harmless substances (like pollens) and harmful intruders (like bacteria), so it overreacts by producing allergy symptoms. These annoying symptoms, including swelling, hives, itching, watering, burning and light sensitivity, can even result in tissue damage or impaired vision. What’s a poor sufferer to do? Try to pinpoint the causes of your allergies and avoid them as much as possible. You can further reduce airborne irritants by using an air conditioner, keeping your environment free of dust, and regulating humidity to keep mites and mold to a minimum. Decongestants, antihistamines and other medicines may also be helpful. Be sure to discuss any eye-related symptoms with your optometrist at your next visit – he or she is one of your best sources of eye health information.

Back alleys don’t recycle unwanted electronics Environmental

Consumers and businesses in British Columbia have an environmentally sound recycling option.You can drop off a range of acceptable products at designated Collection Sites throughout the province without charge (see “Acceptable Products” list for details). The Electronics Products Recycling Association (EPRA) is a national, not-for-profit extended producer responsibility program. EPRA has contracted Encorp Pacific (Canada) to deliver the stewardship program under the Return-It™ Electronics brand in BC. The program works to recover and recycle all regulated electronics in a responsible, cost effective manner. The Return-It system also ensures BC’s unwanted electronics are collected and recycled in an environmentally and socially responsible manner by using the Recycler Qualification Program (RQP). Since 2007, the EPRA program, previously run by ESABC, has diverted over 70.6 million kilograms of electronics out of BC landfills and illegal export, while recovering precious metals and other materials for use in future products. How Electronics are Recycled: Electronics collected in BC are sent to approved recyclers in North America. The items are broken down using various manual and mechanical processes. The remaining products are separated into their individual components for recovery. Through a variety of refining and smelting processes, the

News staff

A selection of work from the 240 members of the Saanich Peninsula Arts and Crafts Society will fill a gallery at Mary Winspear Centre in Sidney this weekend. Plus there’s the gift shop. “We’re all artists of one type or another,” said artist Donna Jean. The painter is in her fourth year as convenor for the SPAC annual art exhibition and sale. “We have a show once a year, this is the 59th year and it’s all volunteer driven. … We’ve got a

awards judged by Carolyn Hoag and Sylvia Bews-Wright (paintings); Paula Landsman (sculpture); Mavis Mooney (pottery); and Vijaya Taylor (crafts). Jean will be among the artists whose works are on display. “I’m going to have four pieces in the main gallery,” she said. “We also have a gift shop. … If someone purchases something from the main gallery, they’re not allowed to take it until the closing of the show. The gift shop is cash and carry. People like to have a souvenir, so that’s where they go.” As well, visitors will see three works by a celebrated Canadian guest artist. “This year we’ve got probably the best known we’ve ever had,” Jean said. Norman Yates has garnered several major Canadian awards and has work in public and private collections including the National Gallery of Canada, the Canada Council Art Bank and the Alberta Foundation of the Arts. “He’s a fabulous artist,” Jean said. “He’s done great things, we’re very proud to have him.” The abstract artist will show three one-by-two metre works, and be on hand to meet the public. He’s already had an influence on Jean, who’s been painting for about five years. “I started out pretty traditional style, representational and I’m moving more to impressionistic and abstract. I just enjoy it more. You can get so many things happening that you weren’t expecting,” she said. “I am going to try his method. I was quite inspired by seeing his work.” The art show and sale will be held April 28 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and April 29 from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Mary Winspear Centre. Admission is $4 for adults. Visit www.spacsociety.com for details. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

A number of paintings crafted by a former merchant mariner who later served as a war artist for the Department of National Defence are now on display publicly for the first time. The exhibit at the Maritime Museum of B.C., entitled Ready Aye Ready: The Naval Artwork of Robert McVittie, features 22 oil paintings that depict Royal Canadian Navy ships and other aspects of navy life. McVittie, who died in 2002, first sailed with the Merchant Navy early on in his life. Several years later, in his role as an official war artist for the Department of National Defence, he documented the missions conducted by some 4,500 military members deployed to the Persian Gulf in 1991. McVittie chronicled navy life through notes, photos and videos, which he later referenced as he painted. “The way he painted water is absolutely beautiful,” said MaryAnne Dieno, the museum’s marketing events and communications co-ordinator. “I’ve never seen somebody capture it like that in a painting before.” The exhibit of original works will be on display until the end of August. The Maritime Museum of B.C. is located at 28 Bastion Sq. For museum admission details, go to mmbc.bc.ca. emccracken@vicnews.com

Though Country Grocer co-founder Peter Cavin has been honoured by colleagues in the grocery industry, he insisted on sharing the spotlight. “It’s very flattering, but I’ve got to give a lot of credit to my partners,” the Saanich resident said. Cavin, who founded Country Grocer with his brother-inlaw Mark Wilson and business partners Wally Large and Henry Zwynenburg, was recognized as “a true Canadian grocery entrepreneur” by the Canadian Federation of Independent Grocers Peter Cavin in Vancouver on Sunday. Federation president John Scott, chair Brent Battistelli and Darryl Rowe, president of McCain Foods Canada and past federation chair, presented Cavin with a new book, entitled Celebrating 50 Grocery Entrepreneurs in Canada. It tells the stories of 50 independent grocers – including Country Grocer – in business today who are considered to be true entrepreneurs. The book’s release coincides with the non-profit trade organization’s 50th anniversary.

Mike Nyberg checks on the progress of the strawberries in his field at Haliburton Farm. Nyberg started as a student at the farm, and now he grows vegetables on a plot he shares with Nate Poetger. The farmers named their business New Mountain Farm, and sell vegetables and plants at the Victoria Public Market, the Moss Street Market and the Haliburton Farm stand, which opens in May.

“I wouldn’t be getting it without my partners,” Cavin said of the recognition. Today, Country Grocer employs 650 people at stores in Esquimalt, Royal Oak, Cobble Hill, Lake Cowichan, Nanaimo and on Saltspring Island. The company is preparing to open its largest store at a second location in Nanaimo in November. “It’s been quite an evolution, really, to where we are,” Cavin said. “It’s something we’re all pretty proud of and never expected. “We just wanted to be great neighbourhood grocery stores that supported the communities around us.” emccracken@vicnews.com

SPORTS All-Island rugby final? Travis Paterson 250-480-3279 sports@vicnews.com

A shot at James Bay in the final makes CW’s Kenny Goodland smile

2010-11 rebuild, one that led to a B.C. championship. Scrum-half Matthew Weingart returned to captain that squad and, this season, national front-rower Andrew Tiedemann has taken up the role, with Goodland and Weingart chipping in. “Really, it’s always been (Tiedemann) this year,” Goodland said, “based on his level of commitment to the club going forward.” On the field, the “process” led by coach Ian Hyde-Lay is coming to fruition in time for the playoff run, Goodland said. National team second-rower Nanyak Dala and fly-half Ander Monro returned against the Caps. Monro’s kicking is a massive advantage for CW, evidenced when Monro relieved CW from heavy pressure by the Caps on Saturday. The emergence of Dylan Jones has added depth in the back row, easing the load for the injured Goodland, who has come off the bench in the past two games. “I’ll do whatever it takes to win another championship.”

Travis Paterson News staff

All due respect to the mainland teams, but at 36 years old, nothing gets the rugby going in Kenny Goodland like the thought of Castaway Wanderers and James Bay in the Rounsefell Cup premier league final. The heart-and-soul forward came off the bench on Saturday (April 21) to help his second-place Castaway Wanderers edge third-place Capilano 28-24 at Windsor Park in Oak Bay. The win earns CW a spot in the May 5 semifinals of the Canadian Direct Insurance premier rugby league playoffs. James Bay also won on Saturday, 24-21 over Meraloma. It clinches first place for James Bay despite one game still outstanding. The win also secures home advantage for Bays’ semifinal. James Bay will most likely face fourth-place Burnaby Lake (there’s an outside chance Burnaby will leapfrog Capilano for third). CW can lock up a home date against Capilano by winning on the road against Burnaby Lake this Saturday (April 28). With the two storied rivals sitting tops in the league, and in separate semifinals, there is a strong chance they could reignite the “100 years war” with the Rounsefell Cup on the line. “I’d like nothing more,” Goodland said. ItwouldalsomeanhavingtheIsland final here for the first time in two years, when the UVic Vikes won it at Wallace Field in 2010.

UBC Old Boys fly half Ben Thomson tackles Castaway Wanderers forward Kenny Goodland at Windsor Park in February. “Facing James Bay in the final would be pretty ideal,” Goodland said. “If we could win that, I would seriously think about scaling back my rugby career.” Though the Bays defeated CW at Windsor Park last month, Goodland insists the loss wasn’t damaging. “If you lose in the playoffs, that’s crushing. But one of our strengths is

analyzing and moving forward. The season’s all about the process, and there was no reason to come flying out of the gates. “You get in the playoffs and anything can happen.” After captaining CW to several middle-of-the-pack finishes in recent years, the wily No. 8 became part of a shared leadership group with the

James Bay (12-1) did itself and the remaining playoff teams a favour by defeating Kitsilano’s Meraloma rugby club (6-6-1) 24-21 on Saturday. The win clinched first place atop the CDI Premier League standings and a semifinal home berth on May 5, while eliminating Meraloma from the playoffs. “The ’Lomas are scary,” Goodland said. “They were getting better as the season went on.” James Bay fly-half Connor Braid (Oak Bay High) converted the gamedeciding penalty kick to break the 21-21 tie, his fourth penalty conversion of the day. sports@vicnews.com

Victoria wrestlers bronzed at nationals Saanich’s Nolan Mitchell cracks top three in Canada Travis Paterson News staff

Two wrestlers from the South Island competed in the National Wrestling Championships in Fredericton, N.B., last week, each picking up a bronze medal. For Brett Matthews, a Grade 12 student at Stelly’s secondary, and Nolan Mitchell, a Grade 9 student at Claremont secondary, the bronze medals put a solid finish on a good season. Matthews’ medal, though, was a bit of a surprise. Matthews lost all three matches in the freestyle competition, his regular discipline, and slipped to seventh out of 15 in the 80-kilogram class. Not wanting to leave with nothing, Matthews entered

the nationals’ Greco wrestling (no touching below the waist) tournament. It was Matthews’ first Greco competition and he was “winging it,” so to speak. He lost his first match to the eventual gold medal winner, but won his next two, earning a spot on the podium. “I had time to relax and I didn’t expect to do that well. I was just trying a different style of wrestling and seeing if I could do it. There was a lot of throws and I seemed to be good at it.” Unfortunately, nervousness got to him in the freestyle event, which was what he’d been training for all year, Matthews said. “If I’d have stuck to the game plan and had more patience I would have done better. I rushed my moves and didn’t set them up properly.” It ended a six-year youth wrestling career for Matthews, who was the Island champion and finished fourth in B.C. this year. Matthews got into the sport winning the dis-

trict championship in all three years as a Bayside middle school student. “I’ll miss it, but hopefully in a couple years I can come back and help out as a coach with the Victoria Bulldogs or Stelly’s.” For Mitchell, earning bronze in the 42-kgs class was a great result in his first appearance at nationals, but it wasn’t without a shade of disappointment. Mitchell lost his first match to Philip Le, who went on to win gold. Mitchell won his next two matches, but bronze didn’t satisfy. He felt he should have had at least silver, which went to Torrey Toribio (North Vancouver), who Mitchell defeated at provincials in February. Neither Matthews nor Mitchell were part of a school wrestling team. Rather, Matthews traveled to Saanich to train with the Victoria Bulldogs, while Mitchell commuted to Cowichan twice a week. sports@vicnews.com

Canadians are living longer and costs for the Old Age Security (OAS) are rising. On April 1, 2023 the Government of Canada plans to start raising the age of eligibility for OAS and the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) from 65 to 67.*

What does this mean for you? 54 or older as of March 31, 2012

You may still obtain OAS/GIS at age 65

53 or younger as of March 31, 2012

The age of eligibility for OAS/GIS will change gradually between 2023 and 2029

Starting in July 2013, Canadians who are eligible for, but not yet receiving OAS will have the flexibility to delay receiving it in exchange for a higher monthly amount at a later date.

The number of working-age Canadians for every senior is decreasing** 6

The number of working-age Canadians per senior is decreasing, placing additional pressure on the OAS program.
