Vaping replaces smoking for some Electronic smokers sidestep CRD’s new smoking bylaw

Sales conflict

mokers are upgrading paper rolled tobacco for electronic cigarettes. Nadine Brosseau, owner of Vapour Solutions, takes a puff of her shiny, red e-cigarette while comfortable in her Langford store and exhales a white cloud of vapour. Since swapping tobacco for the e-cigarette, Brosseau doesn’t have to go outside or stand more than three metres from a door to get her daily dose of nicotine. She’s upgraded to “vaping” as opposed to smoking. E-cigarettes are battery operated devices that use a refillable liquid cartridge. Patrons can purchase nicotine or non-nicotine juice and both are popular, said Brosseau. “We do sell nicotine juice here, there is nothing bad in it. There is no heart and lung disease and it’s a better alternative to smoking,” Brosseau said. “There Charla Huber aren’t any health claims and this is not a health product.” Reporting Health officials are still unsure of the product. “(Electronic cigarettes) aren’t regulated under provincial or (Capital Regional District) legislations and in Canada, they don’t contain tobacco,” said Kim Bruce, regional manager for tobacco and control with “For younger people Island Health (formerly VIHA). “In Canada if these it can be used as a products contain nicotine gateway to smoking.” they are not authorized – Dr. Richard Stanwick, for sale.” Island Health E-cigarettes are still relatively new in Canada and Bruce is cautious, saying she’s unaware of any significant health studies available on the product. “It’s an unknown area at this time,” Bruce explained. “The problem is it’s taking off before the science is.” Perhaps flavours are a part of the allure. E-juices come in an assortment of flavours including caramel cappuccino and banana cream pie. But even with 200 flavours, tobacco flavoured is the best seller at Vapour Solutions. The e-juices contain propylene glycol, a substance often found in food colouring and medicines, and vegetable glycerin, that Brosseau said is found in potatoes and beets. Brosseau started smoking at the age of 15 and 20 years later used e-cigarettes to make the switch. “These are for people who want to keep that terrible habit and just do it in a different way,” Brosseau said. “People who don’t smoke want no involvement in them.” Brosseau’s clientele come from all walks of life, with one thing in common, each has been a tobacco smoker. “People who use e-cigarettes inhale unknown, unregulated and potentially harmful substances into their lungs,” said Dr. Theo Moraes, a medical spokesperson for the Canadian Lung Association in a press release. “There are many nicotine replacement therapies approved by Health Canada to help someone quit smoking; the e-ciga-

Nadine and Kevin Brosseau opened Vapour Solutions on Hillside Avenue in September 2012 and last month they opened a second location on Goldstream Avenue. The business is unable to advertise due to Health Canada regulations but both stores are always busy, said Brosseau. E-cigarettes have not been approved or given market authorization by Health Canada. Health Canada’s most recent public release on e-cigarettes from 2009 states, “Health Canada is aware that some electronic smoking products have been advertised and sold in Canada without market authorization from Health Canada. Persons who may be importing, advertising or selling electronic smoking products without the appropriate authorizations are asked to stop doing so immediately.” Even though e-cigarettes are not authorized for sale in Canada, they can be found in various outlets including gas stations and convenience stores. Distributors are banding together through the Electronic Cigarette Trade Association, which is in the process of working with Health Canada to become a self-regulating group Brosseau said.

Nadine Brosseau, owner of Vapour Solutions, has a booming business even though Health Canada prevents her from advertising her business. She has recently opened a second location in Langford. rette is not one of them.” In Canada, nicotine falls under Health Canada jurisdiction and it is yet to be approved in e-cigarettes. Even though e-cigarettes with nicotine aren’t approved for sale by Health Canada, Richard Stanwick, chief medical health officer for Island Health, said many smokers use it a cessation device. “It’s called e-juice and you can buy it for $56 a gallon on the Internet,” Stanwick explained. “Middle-aged people are using it as a transition to quitting and it’s proving very effective.” For older people it can be a positive tool, he said. It can be more dangerous because younger people, who

tend to use e-cigarettes with nicotine as a way to ingest the drug while avoiding some of the carcinogens. “For younger people it can be used as a gateway to smoking,” Stanwick said. He advises those looking to quit traditional cigarettes use other forms of nicotine replacement therapy including gum, patches and inhalers. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Ambulance response times best in province Daniel Palmer News staff

When it comes to trauma, the difference between life and death can be a matter of seconds. And while the system isn’t perfect, Greater Victoria residents can find comfort in knowing they’ve got the fastest average ambulance response times in B.C. According to the latest data from the B.C. Ambulance Service, ambulances averaged a response time of 7:26 in Victoria last year, the fastest in the province and a far cry from the provincial median of 15 minutes. “We have a saying that time is brain, or time is muscle, meaning every minute gives you an opportunity to save those particular tissues,” said Dr. Chris Morrow, site chief for emergency medicine for the South Island at Island Health. Morrow and other emergency room doctors liaise with the roughly 200 paramedics and 15 ambulances that cover Sooke to Sidney in an attempt to shave crucial seconds off hospital arrival and wait times. “There are a number of critical conditions in which time will save lives, like severe allergic reactions, acute stroke and acute heart attack,”

Morrow said. The average 30-45 minutes it takes for non-trauma patients to move from ambulance to emergency rooms is also important in maintaining fast local response times, said Grant Brilz, Greater Victoria district manager with the B.C. Ambulance Service. “That allows us to move ambulances back on to the streets, where they’re available for other calls, which then reduces the response times to those subsequent calls,” Brilz said. B.C. ambulances aren’t restricted by municipal boundaries, which allows greater flexibility to move services around the region as patient demand requires, he added. The Canadian benchmark for Code 3, or lights-and-siren ambulance response times, is about nine minutes. Saanich and Esquimalt ambulances clocked in at 8:17 and 8:32 respectively last year, while Oak Bay responses averaged 9:20 from dispatch to arrival. The B.C. Ambulance Service responded to more than 400,000 events last year; more than half of those were Code 3 calls. dpalmer@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW

Invisibility cloaks can stay at home Unlike Harry Potter, who relished becoming invisible to other mortals by wearing a certain piece of clothing, visibility is critical for those of us who share the streets with vehicles, especially at this time of year. Dark clothing is, and probably always will be, in style. That makes it Being highly visible fact even tougher for more important than drivers to spot crossing avoiding bad fashion people streets or riding along the edge of roadways without lights or flashers. But visibility is a two-way street. Not only do drivers need to be constantly aware of the presence of other types of road users, those cyclists, runners, walkers, scooter users and skateboarders that drivers encounter also need to respect the fact they may not be easily seen. We hear experts say when you meet up with a bear in the woods, a good idea is to make yourself seem “big.” In the case of road users not in vehicles, being “big” means being visible, enough so that no question arises about your actions or use of the shared space. For non-drivers who may have an inflated sense of entitlement for their choice to use alternative transportation, including your feet, think about this: you’ll virtually always lose a head-to-head confrontation with a vehicle. While the rules of the road are meant to be observed by all parties, there is no substitute for pedestrians and drivers making eye contact at a crosswalk, or, if riding your bike on a main thoroughfare, being aware that the light behind you just changed and traffic will soon be upon you.

It is another protesters’ guide designed around a pre-determined viewpoint. BCTF bosses love to talk about the importance of “critical thinking.” These one-sided caricatures of Nike, Enbridge and other familiar villains seem designed to produce the opposite. They remind me of George Orwell’s classic novel 1984, where loyal party members are required to focus on selected enemies in a daily ritual called the Two Minutes Hate. Perhaps this is a clue to why our school system produces so many students lacking in employment skills and bursting with demands for government-imposed wealth redistribution.

LETTERS Arena name should reflect community

Transit should heed sought-after input

Re. Rebranding your arena (News, Oct. 4) I personally am not in favour of corporate sponsors getting to have their name for an arena. Would that not see the arena name being changed every time the business no longer wishes to make the financial commitment? Give it a name that reflects the community it is in, such as Colwood arena. Or just leave it what everyone has come to know it as: Bear Mountain. If financial sponsorship is needed, dedicate an entire inside wall to whoever puts up the most money. Or it could end up being called Save On Place, with a ridiculous looking piece of whatever-it-is out front too. Carol Sykes Colwood

If our government does not subsidize transit, what we need cannot be provided. The E & N commuter train should be put into service immediately. It could carry more people without impacting the roads as mindless single drivers are doing now with their vehicles. Stopped traffic, the commuter crawl and accidents occur every day without fail. Why would sane people put up with this? Buses too, carry more people, keeping many cars off the overcrowded roads. But B.C. Transit is so bad at communicating, that excellent new bus routes fail because people don’t know about them. Here’s a test. If you wanted to go to Salt

Spring Island without your car or bicycle, how would you get around? Two B.C. Transit drivers and many citizens, failed this test. A community bus meets most ferries so you can hop on and get to many places and back. How many of you knew this? I haven’t checked to see if this is still running. It may have been taken off because no one knew it was there. Also, for the four years I was on B.C. Transit’s

Accessible Transportation Advisory Committee I urged transit to send bus info to the free newspaper that goes to every household, local library branches and recreation centres. What a great way to get out their information and increase their ridership and help keep what they’ve got. We give B.C. Transit our ideas often but what are they doing about them? W.

When we drive, we make most of our decisions on the basis of visual cues: the position of other vehicles and pedestrians, traffic lights, signs, hazard warnings etc. Good vision is crucial to safe driving. Vision for driving involves more than the ability to read the letters on the eye chart (central vision): Peripheral vision, depth perception and colour vision are all important factors which influence our judgment while driving. The Motor Vehicle Branch tests these visual skills when we first apply for a driver’s license. This screening is not a substitute for a full eye examination by a Doctor of Optometry who can prescribe corrective lenses or other treatment, if necessary, and evaluate the health of the eyes. Our eyes change in subtle and gradual ways as we age. We may not realize our vision has gradually deteriorated to a level that does not meet the legal and safe requirements for operating a motor vehicle. In many cases, the solution may be as simple as, new prescription lenses. Glare is a common problem to most drivers when the sun is low in the sky ahead and when the road surface is wet and shiny. Sunglasses may help, along with cleaning your windshield. Another cause of glare may be cataracts, which can develop as we age. This cloudiness in the lenses of the eyes can cause an increase in sensitivity to light in the early stages. Your optometrist can advise you about tinted lenses to reduce glare and continue to counsel you as the cataracts develop. Regular eye examinations determine if your vision is good enough for safe driving. You owe it to yourself and everyone else on the road to make sure that you are seeing well and reacting to situations as quickly as possible.

Broken back leads to possible $50,000 idea Langford-raised woman in the running for Lay’s chips online flavour contest Charla Huber News staff

Laying in bed recovering from a broken back, Jill Munro came up with the idea for Creamy Garlic Caesar potato chips. She injured herself snowboarding in February 2012 and spent that year off work and on bed rest. Through the boredom she decided to try her odds entering the Lays Do Us A Flavour contest. The salad-inspired flavour was one of about 15 Munro entered. “My roommate and I used to go and buy bulk bottles of caesar dressing, five heads of lettuce, a huge bag of croutons and just live off it for the week,” Munro said. She needed to enter the three main ingredients in the flavour and a short write-up on her inspiration.

Jill Munro

Munro lived on the West Shore as a child and liked to go to Goldstream Park, the Esquimalt Lagoon and wander the forests of Royal Roads University. When her family went out to dinner it was often at the former John’s Other Place restaurant on Old Island Highway and she would alway upgrade her meal to include a caesar salad. The former Willway elementary student – kindergarten through Grade 4 – has fond childhood memories of eating both potato chips and caesar salad. “These chips are really delicious. (Lays) did a really great job on them,” said the 32 year old of her creation. Munro, now living in Vancouver, is busy promoting her chips and crossing her fingers to win the grand prize of $50,000 and one per cent of sales if the chips are sold and manufactured after the contest. If she wins Munro plans to pay off her student loan from her schooling at Camosun College and donate funds to spinal cord research. To vote for Munro’s chips go to lays.ca/flavour or text VOTE to 101010. Voting ends on Oct. 16. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Gayle Ireland, president and volunteer co-ordinator with the Goldstream Food Bank Society, holds up some of the new coupons shoppers can use to aid the food bank while buying their own groceries. The program, operated by Food Banks B.C., is a partnership with grocery stores who post coupons at the checkout so shoppers can add a donation to their grocery bill.

It’s In Our Nature.

School snacks top need for Goldstream Food Bank Charla Huber News staff

The Goldstream Food Bank hopes to fill empty lunch boxes this fall with snack donations from the public. Items including cheese and cracker packages, pure fruit juice boxes, fruit leathers and fruit cups are just some of the sought after items. Canned meat products are also encouraged for parents to make into sandwiches for their children. The Goldstream Food Bank

received 11,000 pounds of food from a successful food drive by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in September. “Our stock was very low and there were big gaping holes in the shelves before that,” said Gayle Ireland, food bank president. Cash is a preferable donation, as organizers can make the dollars stretch further by buying in bulk. Food banks across the region hope newly designed Food Bank B.C. coupons at local grocery stores will help bring in more cash donations as well.

The food bank has staple items it purchases but other items including coffee and canned stews and chili are only available when donated by the public. “We have about half a dozen clients who live on the Galloping Goose and donations of stews and chills with a snap tops are good donations that they can eat right out of the can,” Ireland said. To set up a donation call the Goldstream Food Bank at 250474-4443. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

ive Camilo Dominguez some cards and prepare to be mesmorized. The young 23-yearmagician began honing his craft at the ripe young age of four when he was growing up in Colombia. Dominguez is performing his close-up magic at the McPherson Playhouse, Oct. 18 and 19. Projectors will be set up with large screens so the audience can get a good look at his tricks. “I told my mother I wanted to be a magician and she looked one up in the phonebook to teach me,” he said, adding the

first card trick he learned involved four aces. He has since mentored under other magicians who have helped him develop his career as a professional magician. Dominguez attended Belmont secondary school when he was 15 as an international student and now lives in Vancouver. At Belmont he worked with teacher Troy Harris, founder of Canadian World Education Society. Through his society, Harris has built and run a school in Nepal. Harris’ society is now helping educate children from preschoolers to Grade 12. Dominguez has performed at several of the CanWES fundraisers and is donating a

hen Kitt & Jane: An Interactive Guide to the Near Post-Apocalyptic Future hits the stage the University of Victoria this week, it will be as refined as is physically possible. The SNAFU-produced show was part of SPARK Festival two years ago and the Vancouver Fringe last month. “We’ve been workshopping it a lot since then,” says director Kathleen Greenfield. Kitt & Jane is a highlight on this year’s Spotlight on Alumni that runs Oct. 17 to 26. It’s a collaborative effort of UVic Theatre alumni Greenfield (BFA ‘05) and Ingrid Hansen (BFA’09) with Rod Peter Jr. As much as 40 to 60 per cent of it has changed Greenfield says, noting all three involved – Hansen and Peter who perform as Kitt & Jane – work collaboratively. “When we start a project it’s never really finished, we’ve even made some changes since Vancouver,” Greenfield says. “As soon as you perform it for a group of people it changes. You learn what works and what doesn’t quite quickly.” The story focusses on two socially awkward 14-year-olds who hijack their high school presentation and launch into fantastical instructions on how to survive the impending apocalypse told through playful music, fantastical lighting, shadow and found-object puppetry and naturally, humour.

award-winning Little Orange Man. They chose to revisit the Kitt character that Greenfield and Hansen created. “We were having a lot of conversations about how scary it must be to be a youth today,” she says, explaining how issues like global warming were considered conspiracy theories when they were 14. “Now they’re very real.” “We wanted to talk to youth about those and encourage that they had a voice to speak,” she adds. “There’s a lot of references to youth movements all over the world that have changed their world for the better.” But that doesn’t limit the audience, she says. “We’re like PIXAR in that youth and adults get different messages from it,” she says. “(Phoenix) is a great place to meld those audiences.” Kitt & Jane is the first of four award-winning plays in the Phoenix Theatre’s 2013/14 season. Named the Best New Play in 2012 by Victoria’s Critics’ Choice Spotlight Award. SNAFU’s plays have won several awards including Best Fringe “M” Award and many Best-of and Pick-of-the-Fringe AL SMITH PHOTO awards for Little Orange Man (2011-13). Ingrid Hansen and Rod Peter Jr. (both creators and performers) will regale Kitt & Jane: An Interactive Guide to the Near Postaudiences with helpful insight in Kitt & Jane An Interactive Guide to the Apocalyptic Future runs Oct. 17 to 26 at the Phoenix Near Post-Apocalyptic Future at UVic’s Phoenix Theatre. Theatre, with a public preview and talk-back performance slated for tonight at 8 p.m. Tickets range from “They teach their fellow students how to survive,” $7 for the preview, to $24, with discounts for students and Greenfield says.

REGIONAL NEWS IN BRIEF

Cops seize drugs, cash in Esq. bust A 30-year-old Esquimalt man faces numerous drug trafficking charges after Victoria police found a kilogram of cocaine and $9,000 cash in his home. VicPD officers executed a search warrant in the 400-block of Grafton St. on Oct. 3 on the “mid-level dealer,” said Const. Mike Russell. “Officers have reason to believe that the suspect has been in the drug trafficking business for a lengthy period and that this arrest will have an impact on drug trafficking in Victoria and Esquimalt,” Russell said, adding the cocaine is valued at about $100,000.

A $295,000 contract was awarded this week to Delcan Corporation for consulting services for proposed upgrades to Wilkinson Road. The planned $3.5-million upgrade will see the installations of bike lanes from Mann Avenue to Lindsay Street, as well as extensions and improvements of sidewalks along Wilkinson. A 75-year-old pedestrian bridge near Lindsay Street will also be widened. The project also includes plans for a rain garden that will treat stormwater before it enters the nearby Colquitz River. As well, the bike lanes will connect with Saanich’s Centennial Trail. Delcan Corporation will help Saanich with the planning and detailed design of the upgrades, and will help in awarding the construction contract. Saanich received $1.75 million in federal gas tax funding in March for the project. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

UFC date finally here for Kaufman Sarah Kaufman embarks on UFC title campaign Travis Paterson News staff

Lunchtime workout sessions have ended and a group of men trickle out of Zuma Ultimate Martial Arts in Vic West. They laugh about the super high intensity training they’ve been put through by their mixed martial arts instructor Sarah Kaufman. But their faces don’t lie, as they wear a look that screams post-workout exhaustion. Each thanks Kaufman for the class as they exit, and Kaufman returns the thanks in kind. By day, Kaufman, the former Strikeforce MMA world champion, runs classes for adults and kids alike. She fits in hours of daily training for herself too, nothing new for the 28-year-old, Victoria’s highest profile MMA athlete. But it’s been a while, and on Saturday (Oct. 19) Kaufman returns to the limelight in her UFC debut at UFC 166 in Houston, Tx. against fellow UFC rookie Jessica Eye (10-1). For a fighter who is not far removed from the distinction of former title holder, the UFC has taken its sweet time to put

Travis Paterson/News staff

MMA athlete Sarah Kaufman (12-2) of Victoria in the cage at Zuma Ultimate Martial Arts. Kaufman makes her UFC debut against Jessica Eye (10-1) at UFC 166 in Houston, Oct. 16. Kaufman back in the cage. She’s even slotted at No. 2 on the UFC rankings in its women’s bantamweight (126 to 135 lbs.) division, probably one spot below where

she should be, considering she’s beaten the division’s most proven fighter except for standing title holder Ronda Rousey. “They have used me for a num-

ber of promotional events but yes, I’d like to get another fight in this winter at the latest,” she said. UFC company Zuffa purchased Strikeforce in 2011 and has

since officially absorbed, and relaunched, the women’s bantamweight division. Kaufman, the good kid, isn’t afraid to speak her mind but has so far escaped the common UFC branding as a mouth with a fighter attached to it. There’s still time for that though. A win this weekend will put Kaufman into serious contention though it’s clear there is a final resolution coming between the Miesha Tate and Rousey rivalry, currently being played up on the reality television series The Ultimate Fighter. “You never know with how they edit that show what’s really being said between them. Or when they’re going to fight, which seems due,” Kaufman said. Though Kaufman hasn’t fought in the UFC she’s enjoyed being part of it. She was flown out earlier this year to UFC events in Calgary and Winnipeg, and to Toronto for the launch of Sportsnet 360. “UFC is really well organized and your schedule is all laid out for the week you’re there to fight,” she said. “The good thing about Houston is I don’t know much about it so I don’t expect it to be a distraction, which some cities can be when you’re there to fight,” Kaufman said. sports@vicnews.com

Phantom twins take opposite roles on ice Sisters split to goalie and forward as youth Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

New hockey parents can have difficulties sorting out which kid is which on the ice. While it may have been an issue when twins Melinda and Alisha Choy started with Saanich Minor hockey in Grade 6 it didn’t take long for them to adapt very different roles. Melinda straps on thick goaltender pads to protect the net, while Alisha batters opposing netminders notching goal after goal. They play for the Island Pacific Hockey Association’s Senior A team, the Phantoms. Last season Alisha was the South Coast league’s top scorer with 22 goals and 13 assists. “Alisha’s the biggest game breaker. If we’re down a goal or need a goal ... she’s the one that will step up and do it,” coach John Lou-Poy said. “Her style of game is a power forward.” Melinda won a gold medal with the Canadian Interuniversity Sport’s national women’s ice hockey team at the 2009 FISU Games in Harbin, China. “Melinda, she’s played at the best level
