HOW BAZAAR
Oak Bay Seniors Association prepares for annual event
Free flu vaccine available Oct. 28 Flu shots given to people at high-risk of complications from influenza
P
ublic health clinics, pharmacies and doctors across Vancouver Island will be providing free flu shots to people at high-risk of complications from influenza and their close contacts as well as other vulnerable groups. Public Health clinics open starting the week of Oct. 28. Check with your local public health unit for details or online at viha.ca/flu. “People who are at high-risk can suffer severe complications or even death from influenza,” said Dr. Dee Hoyano, medical health officer for the Vancouver Island Health Authority. “The most common complication, particularly for elderly people, is pneumonia, an infection of the lungs. Influenza can also lead to other complications for people who have heart, lung or other health conditions.” Also new this year is the availability of a nasal spray influenza vaccine free for eligible children aged two to 17. It is the preferred vaccine for children two to eight years of age because it provides better protection in young children than the inactivated influenza vaccine given by injection. It also offers the advantage of being needle-free. Bring your Care Card or other government I.D. to the clinic. Eligible individuals may also get their free vaccine from their doctor or pharmacy. Even if you are a healthy adult, if you have regular contact with anyone in these high-risk groups, you can help them by getting FINEprotect CUSTOM JEWELLERS immunized. Influenza is easily transmitted from person to person, even before you show symptoms. Those not eligible for the free vaccine can be vaccinated by your family physician or pharmacist for a nominal cost. For more information about the vaccine, please go online to immunizebc.ca or call HealthLink B.C. at 8-1-1. editor@oakbaynews.com FINE CUSTOM JEWELLERS

Conference aims to inspire Teen joyride comes Desire to get more out of middle age sparked idea Natalie North News staff
Last spring Jennifer Lamb went to a performance at Raino Dance and was taken by the number of women her age dancing for the first time. “Usually you go to a dance performance and you see professionals or you see children. And here were all these women taking it seriously for the first time and wanting to perform for others. I was quite intrigued.” When Lamb heard Monique Salez, owner of the studio, speak that night, her enthusiasm helped spark Lamb’s drive to organize the first Ignite Women’s Conference. Salez is now one of seven
featured speakers at the conference, a day-long event aimed at igniting the passion and unlocking the potential of women aged 40 to 65 in the Capital Region. Topics up for discussion include entrepreneurship, artistry and fulfilling your passion during a time Lamb considers “second adulthood,” once children are raised and out of the house. “All of these things have been on my mind because I, personally, am on that quest,” said Lamb, who spends her days working in finance. Along her quest, Lamb has discovered she is clearly not alone in her desire for getting more out of middle age. “The response has been overwhelming. I’ve been quite floored by the number of women enthused about the conference and who want to present. The quality of women in this town is quite amazing. “I thought I’d shine a light on
women who achieved quite a high degree of success following their passions.” In response to the interest, Lamb plans to continue monthly workshops for women to meet and share throughout the year. “When I was a kid, our parents talked about doing something sensible and doing it until you retired,” Lamb said. “When you listen to these ladies speak, you can actually feel the passion come out of them. It’s infectious.” The Ignite Women’s Conference runs from 8:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. tomorrow (Oct. 19) at the Victoria Conference Centre (720 Douglas St.). Tickets, $125 including lunch, are available through ignitewomensconferencesvictoria. eventbrite.ca or 250-888-5541. Ten per cent of sales will be donated to Soroptimist International of Greater Victoria. editor@vicnews.com

A joyriding prank turned into a crash and flee in the 2500block of Eastdowne Rd. last Friday night. Two boys, aged 16 and 17, allegedly took a friend’s car key without his knowledge during a house party, said Oak Bay Police Deputy Chief Const. Kent Thom. That young man had borrowed the car from his parents. The 16-year-old driver managed to take the white, 1997 Mazda 626 a few kilometres away from the party but then lost control and hit a light standard and retaining wall. “A witness saw two young fel-

lows running from the scene,” Thom said. “(One suspect) was located shortly thereafter.” Thom said the teen was brought back to where the car was taken and the son of the vehicle owner was informed of the incident. The other teen suspected of taking the vehicle was contacted by police later. “Based on the investigation to date, it appears the vehicle was taken without the son’s consent,” Thom said. “It was taken as a joke. They decided to go on a joyride first and then return the vehicle and the keys.” The teens were not arrested and had a meeting with investigators on Wednesday. editor@oakbaynews.com

This fall’s a good time to look for a new job Greater Victoria employers say they plan to hire more workers Don Descoteau News staff
Job seekers in the Capital Region, especially those looking for construction jobs, may see light at the end of the tunnel this fall. A survey of employers by Manpower Canada found that a “steady hiring climate” will exist in the region for the fourth quarter of the year, with the construction industry the area of largest expected gains. Survey results showed that 17 per cent of employers plan to hire this fall, while 10 per cent are anticipating cutbacks. With seasonal adjustments, the net employment outlook – essentially the percentage of employers expecting to hire – is 13 per cent, about the same as this time last year, Manpower reported. Following a strong summer tourist season that saw record levels of traffic coming here on B.C. Ferries and through Victoria International Airport, there seems to be “a really good sense of optimism” in the business community, Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce CEO Bruce Carter said.
Bruce Carter “Those are all really positive things and we kind of layer that on top of the tech industry, which continues to do really well, and the upcoming shipbuilding contracts,” he said. “In all, things are looking good.” Greater Victoria’s unemployment rate is hovering just below six per cent, but before long the Christmas hiring season will be upon us, Carter added. Should the region see a strong holiday season, it could carry retailers through to the spring, when the tourists begin returning. Carter predicts steady hiring through next year, with a potential for competition for labour within the region. ddescoteau@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW
Bright lights on jobs front Grim financial pictures continue to be painted around the country and stories of sluggish economic growth are still making headlines. In Greater Victoria, however, there are plenty of bright spots on the economic horizon. This summer’s robust tourism season has helped many astute merchants ease into the shoulder months with a little more comfort. Many retailers start to hire employees for the Christmas season in mid-November, but we expect some to get the early jump on the competition by bringing in staff to get trained up sooner than that. Job seekers would do well to polish up their resumés now to avoid being shut out during the Christmas rush to fill jobs. Getting a foot in the door that much sooner can only help a good employee solidify their position within a company more quickly. The summer was not only vibrant and lucrative in the tourism industry and those related to it. The region also saw its best real estate summer sales figures in five years, helped by flat year-over-year prices and continued low interest rates. More real estate sales means more people frequenting home decor and hardware stores, which in turn need to hire staff to keep up with demand. Residential and commercial construction continue to be healthy in the region and are predicted by employment expert Manpower Canada to drive much of the healthy hiring climate for the fall. Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce CEO Bruce Carter, who has his finger on the pulse of business around the region, expects steady hiring to happen into next year. Not only will the shipbuilding industry ramp up further with the upcoming federal government contracts, he says, the tech sector continues to grow in Greater Victoria. We’d like to believe that with less severe down time in our local economy, we can see more momentum built to help carry us into next year. After all, having more people working helps everyone enjoy a little better quality of life. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@vicnews.com or fax 250-386-2624.

million hectares of farmland in the region – an area about the size of Saskatchewan – have been planted with soybean and corn genetically modified to tolerate herbicides, known as “Roundup Ready” crops. Instead of tilling fields, farmers spray herbicides that kill all plants but the crop. This has wiped out much of the milkweed. With a decline of monarchs in Mexico and pervasive threats during migration, it wasn’t entirely surprising that they arrived in Canada six weeks later than normal this summer in unprecedented low numbers. While the future of the monarch looks bleak, we can all help ensure its survival. At home you can create a butterfly garden to provide habitat and food for monarchs and other pollinators. Plant milkweed and nectar-producing native flowers, like wild bergamot, New England aster and black-eyed Susans – especially ones with yellow, pink, orange and purple flowers. Adding these plants to gardens, balconies, parks and green spaces – and encouraging local schools, businesses and institutions to do the same – will help bees and butterflies stay healthy and well-fed. So, while the monarchs have already begun their journey south, I encourage you to start preparing for next year’s butterflies. Head to your local nursery and get your milkweed on. And do what you can to bring nature to your neighbourhood.

LETTERS Crosswalks a dangerous place Re: Invisibility cloaks can stay at home (Our View, Oct. 16) I recently bought some reflective tape to sew on my black winter coat because I cross Quadra Street quite often to catch the bus. Even though I always use the lighted crosswalk, I am always afraid I will not be seen due to inattention by a driver combined with the huge volume of traffic on this street. I try to make sure I have eye contact with the driver but wonder about whether the drivers in other lanes will rocket past the crosswalk. Lucille Ross Saanich
Scientist picked for their knowledge The medical health officers, university biologists and oceanographers who were given the job of monitoring the Greater Victoria sewage outfalls were selected because they would know best. The Capital Regional District plans to spend nearly $1 billion based on the notion that they know better. As both an American and British study have determined that long sewage outfalls can protect the sea better than land-based treatment, it follows that once the plant is built, the best way to protect the
environment would be to shut it down and go back to the long outfalls. A ludicrous position but precisely true. Ted Dew-Jones Saanich
Non-smokers have rights, too Re: Tougher smoking restrictions months away (News, Oct. 16) Smokers have had their own way for more than 200 years. There was never any concern about anyone’s health; smokers just lit up wherever they wished, and still do. It’s about time they were concerned about other people’s personal freedom and public health concerns besides their own. I am a nonsmoker, and guess what? I am supposed to have rights too! Paul Collins Langford
Current pot laws simply unfair Re: Marijuana referendum misguided (News, Oct. 8) Imagine the current pot smoker in B.C. He is arrested for possession and acquires a criminal record. Then, if he is a teacher or other public employee, he loses his job. You can’t work in public service with a record. If he has a mortgage, he loses his house. If he is financing a car, bye-bye car. If he goes to find a new
job, good luck. A long list of jobs require a criminal record check. If he wishes to visit American cousins to relieve his stress, he finds that he is permanently on the no-fly list, a condition that even an official pardon will not change. If our arrestee is a youth, he is put through youth court, a process that traumatizes both him and his family, something that would never have happened had he been caught with a beer. Under Sensible B.C.’s amended police act, there would be none of the above. Youth would be dealt with in the same manner as youth caught drinking alcohol. Is it enough? No. We want a legal system. But eliminating that trauma listed above is much more than a gesture, hip or otherwise. It would save millions of tax dollars, and countless personal lives from the legal shredder. And as to the “criminal distributers,” of which you disapprove, well, some of them are pot farmers, aren’t they? Maybe if we decriminalized, we could all learn to call them something like that.

Ocean radiation too big of a risk Re: Despite Fukushima, eating fish is safe (Science Matters, Oct. 11) In the last couple of weeks, marine biologists,
This week’s online poll nuclear scientists and environmentalists have issued reports about the high levels of radiation they’re finding in all sea life across the Pacific Ocean. This means my husband and I will no longer eat any fish or kelp or sea salt from the Pacific Ocean, no matter how local, sustainable, wild, organic, etc., they otherwise are. You can imagine how shocked my husband and I were reading Dr. Suzuki’s column. I never thought he would choose protecting the fishing industry over protecting people, animals and habitats and would instead promote doing something so dangerous as eating anything from the Pacific at this time. Since Fukushima, I have been waiting for our government, federal and provincial, and folks like Dr. Suzuki to address what is becoming the worst nuclear disaster in human history. People need to know if they’re eating radioactive seafood and ingesting radioactive isotopes which cause a variety of cancers. If Dr. Suzuki is willing to take his chances, that is his decision. As public policy, such a stance is negligent at best, dangerous at worst. The consequences of promoting eating radioactive seafood -- with the caveat that it’s OK as long as it is local and sustainable -- are enormous. Helene Harrison Victoria

FROM VAGABOND TO POWER SMART NEW HOME OWNER. ROB MICKELBERRY’S JOURNEY TO THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY After nearly a year travelling on a “rock star” bus from one end of North America to another, Rob Mickelberry, his wife and three children were ready to re-establish permanent roots back home in Victoria. “We bought a property while we were on the road,” says Rob, “then lived in the old house while we sub-divided the lot and built a new home that would be ours.” Because Rob wanted the home – completed in May 2013 – “for the long haul,” he was determined it would not cost a fortune to run.
Rob Mickelberry
By calling in certified energy advisors City Green Solutions early in the design process, Rob was able to build-in a number of refinements – including an air source heat pump, triple glazing, a heat recovery ventilation system and extra insulation – that resulted in the home achieving a remarkable EnerGuide 88 rating from Natural Resources Canada. That makes it, says Mike Young of City Green, “approximately 59 per cent more energy efficient than if this home had been built to BC Building Code standards.” It will also save Rob an estimated $1,500 to $1,800 a year on his energy bills.

How boomers affect your business W
e all know Canada’s population is aging. But how will changing demographics affect your business? First, the good news. Aging consumers have different buying habits, so that means opportunities if you’re creative. The bad news is that as baby boomers retire, many businesses will face labour shortages because not enough younger workers will be around to take their place. Either way, businesses that don’t adapt to the reality of the aging population could face severe challenges and are going to miss opportunities, says Pierre Cléroux, Chief Economist at the Business Development Bank of CanIn the next 20 years, ada. the median age The impacts are already of Canadians being felt in some sectors is expected and regions where busito rise to nesses are struggling to 45, up from find younger employees to 26 in 1991. replace retiring boomers. “If we don’t manage our labour force according to the new trends, it’s going to be difficult for busi- Twenty years ago, nearly two people entered the labour force for every person nearing retirement.

Tense but also thoughtful, this is a thriller with a brain. See review in the monthly Monday Magazine. CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS 2 -(SilverCity/
Westshore/Empire Uni 4) The wacky animated comedy about an infamous machine that churns out scary foodanimal hybrids was popular enough to merit a sequel. Consider yourself warned! With the vocal talents of Bill Hader, Anna Faris, and Will Forte. ★★½ DESPICABLE ME 2 -(Caprice) The 2010 original, about a loathsome criminal mastermind who was reformed by the love of three young orphan girls, was a goofy delight. The sequel, although still clever, is much more scattershot, with an unimaginative plot and unwelcome dashes of mean spiritedness. Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig, and Russell Brand supply the voices. ★★½ ELYSIUM -(Caprice) Matt Damon and Jodie Foster star in a futuristic sci-fi thriller where the Earth has become a polluted ghetto and the lucky few get to live in luxury on a floating space station orbiting languidly above. Well, that’s about to change. It’s hard to argue with the politics, but this new film by the writer-director of District 9 is too heavy-handed and cliched to take seriously. ★★★½ ENOUGH SAID -(Odeon) The latest from delightfully quirky writer-director Nicole Holofcener

U BOOK YO
(Please Give, Friends With Money) features a divorced woman who sets her sights on a man – only to learn that he is the much-loathed ex-husband of her new gal pal. This sweet, clever, sexy, and insightful sort-of romantic comedy stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Catherine Keener and, sigh, the late James Gandolfini. ★★★½ GRAVITY -(Odeon/ SilverCity/Empire Uni 4/Westshore) Sandra Bullock and George Clooney star in a harrowing, brilliantlyexecuted thriller about two astronauts aboard a space station who survive an accident only to find themselves drifting helplessly through space, with little hope of rescue or survival. MACHETE KILLS -(SilverCity) The irrepressible Robert Rodriguez (Sin City, Grindhouse) churns out a lurid, jokily-violent sequel to his drive-instyle splatterfest about a macheteswinging dude (Danny Trejo) with a gory taste for vengeance. Co-starring Mel Gibson, Michelle Rodriguez, Lady Gaga, and Antonio Banderas. THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS: CITY OF BONES -(Caprice) Only the bones were left after the critics universally savaged this derivative, overwrought tale of a young woman who discovers that she has unusual powers as she gets drawn into a battle involving a band of angel-like creatures struggling to quash a demonic threat to the entire world. ★★★½ PRISONERS -(Westshore) Quebec director Denis Villeneuve (Incendies) has been getting great praise for this bleak and violent police procedural about two kidnapped girls and the dad who will do anything to get them back. The superb cast includes Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Viola Davis, Terrence Howard, and Melissa Leo. THE RIGHT KIND OF WRONG -(Odeon/SilverCity/Westshore) In this romantic comedy a dishwasher falls in love with a bride on the day of her wedding. Too bad she’s marrying
another dude. ★★½ ROMEO & JULIET -(SilverCity) Shakespeare’s immortal romantic tragedy returns to the silver screen in lush period detail, this time in an adaptation by novelist Julian Fellowes (Downton Abbey). Despite its authentic setting, this is a mostly dull affair, marred especially by the lack of romantic chemistry between the two leads. RUNNER RUNNER -(Westshore) A smart college student with a knack for gambling (Justin Timberlake) hooks up with a sinister offshore entrepreneur (Ben Affleck) who runs an online poker empire from a corrupt Caribbean island. This has become one of the worst-reviewed movies of the year. ★★★★ RUSH -(Odeon/SilverCity) Gifted mainstream director Ron Howard (Apollo 13) delivers highoctane thrills and lots of human drama as he tackles this biopic about the legendary 1970s rivalry between Formula 1 race car drivers James Hunt and Niki Lauda. TURBO -(Caprice) The latest from Dreamworks Animation is a family comedy about an ordinary garden snail who acquires magic powers – and the chance to achieve his dream of winning the Indy 500. With the voices of Ryan Reynolds, Paul Giamatti, Maya Rudolph, and Samuel L. Jackson. ★★★★ WATERMARK -(Odeon) The newest collaboration between documentary filmmaker Jennifer Baichwal and renowned photographer Edward Burtynsky (Manufactured Landscapes) is a profound and engaging meditation on our complex relationship with water – and especially how our use of technology is affecting the world’s water supplies. ★★½ WE’RE THE MILLERS -(Caprice) Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston star in a crass comedy about a long-time pot dealer who hires a stripper and two feral

Bulldogs ready for a fight Travis Paterson News staff
It’s a good time to be bullish as the Belmont Bulldogs are hitting their stride at the right time of the season, coming off a 22-13 road win over the Notre Dame Jugglers (0-3) on Friday (Oct. 11). The Bulldogs (2-1) host the Vancouver College Fighting Irish (2-2) at Goudy Turf today (Oct. 18), 3:30 p.m. It’s the second game of a AAA B.C. High School Football league double header, as the Mount Douglas Rams (3-0) host the Handsworth Royals (2-0) in the earlier game at 1 p.m. Bulldogs coach Kevin Harrington knows the Fighting Irish are going to be a much stronger opponent than winless Notre Dame. The Bulldogs should have scored two more touchdowns against Notre Dame on Friday, as two touchdown recep-

But hey, we played well and won anyways,” Harrington said. Tight end Edgar Nelson caught two TD receptions from quarterback
Sam Holland. Sam Varao rushed for a TD and 86 yards total, with Jordan Worth tacking on 100 yards rushed. Kicker Hugo Lewis converted two TDs and Worth ran in a two-point conversion.
Brady Lockwood made an interception in the first half and Jamie Pacheco, a D lineman, made another one to shut down Notre Dame’s final drive. The Bulldogs will be too busy preparing to
watch the Rams vs. Royals, which is ironic as they’re the Bulldogs remaining two opponents. The Bulldogs play Handsworth on Oct. 25 and are at home to the Rams, Nov. 1 at Westhills Stadium. The Rams continued its strong season as the No. 1-ranked team in B.C. defeated the top AA school South Delta 55-20 in exhibition play on Saturday. Marcus Davis, quite possibly the premier Canadian recruit this year, was nearly untouchable. In 11 touches, Davis scored on runs of 66, 15 and 24 yards, caught TD passes of 38 and 40 yards from QB Ashton MacKinnon, intercepted a South Delta pass and returned it 48 yards for a TD, and returned a kickoff 70 yards for a TD. Seven touchdowns. Julian Luis scored the other Rams touchdown. sports@vicnews.com

Island Indoor tourney draws talented field Travis Paterson News staff
Former world No.1-ranked junior tennis player Filip Peliwo is in Victoria this weekend for the South Island Indoor Challenge men’s tournament at Cedar Hill Recreation Centre. Peliwo’s presence is the latest evidence of the cash tournament’s growing field of elites as the most prestigious tournament on the Victoria tennis calendar. The total prize purse is $15,000 with $5,000 for the winner, $3,500 for second, and $2,000 for third. The top prize of $5,000 is actually less than last year, as organizers were uncomfortable with the final going to a tiebreaker, in which a $4,500 point was played. Instead, the money has been spread more evenly, as per players wishes. “This is by far our best lineup ever. To see this level of pro tennis in Victoria is unbelievable. In just four years we have made the Indoor Challenge the premier indoor tennis event in Canada,” Indoor Challenge co-director Dean Gills said. The tournament kicked off with Peliwo, of Vancouver, taking on hometown qualifier Patrick Flint on Thursday. Results were past press time. Last year Peliwo was top junior ITP player with wins at Wimbledon and the US Open, while making the finals of the Australian and French opens. He was the first junior to reach all four Grand Slam event finals since Sweden’s Stefan Edberg in 1983. Spectators hoping to see Peliwo this weekend better get there early said co-director John Miller. “Last year we had standing room only crowd for the finals. This year, with Peliwo and several other quality players here, we expect to sell out every day. Peliwo’s achievement last year was one of the greatest achievements in Canadian tennis history.” Flint vs. Peliwo was one of four matches Thursday, as African Davis Cup member Rik De Voest played Daniel Chu (Vancouver). Former ATP doubles specialist Brian Battistone is also here with his two-handled racquet, The Natural. The round robin format tournament continues today at 5 p.m. and throughout Saturday, with the final scheduled for 1 p.m. on Sunday. Weekend passes for the tournament are $20 for adults and $10 for youth (under 18) and are available at Courtside Sports and Cedar Hill Recreation Centre.

Argentina ahead Teen debuts in loss to U.S. Travis Paterson News staff
With the growth of American rugby and that country’s depth of quality athletes, it’s inevitable, really, that the U.S. will overtake Canada in rugby someday. It was a surprise on Tuesday, however, when the Americans pulled off their first win in the Americas Rugby Championship since 2010, beating Canada 30-10 in front of nearly 2,500 fans at Westhills Stadium. After all, Canada is coming off a twogame sweep of the U.S. in the Rugby World Cup qualifiers in August. The U.S. Eagles select XV weren’t particularly dominant as the Canada ‘A’ squad struggled with ball handling and were seldom able to mount an attack beyond two or three phases. The Canadians (1-1) now face Argentina (2-0) in "the final match of the ARC on Saturday, 8 p.m. at Westhills Stadium. Argentina won the early game on Tuesday, 34-10 over Uruguay.

“I’d trust (fly half Giuseppe Du Toit) any day to make a kick.” – Adam Kleeberger
“There’s some things to work on but I still have confidence in our team, we have to have a short memory for Saturday,” Canadian captain Adam Kleeberger said. The 2011 Rugby World Cup veteran wore No. 8 and was also promising at times. But nothing could go right long enough for Canada to sustain an attack. The U.S. simply made less mistakes and grew more confident as the game wore on, while creeping ahead on the solid kicking of fullback Joe Cowley, who hit three penalties, two of them from (approximately) 45 yards, while converting all three U.S. tries. “It sucks that we didn’t get
those lucky breaks that can change the game, but that's the way it goes,” said Canadian winger Jordan Wilson-Ross. At the centre of Canada’s attack was 18-year-old fly half Giuseppe Du Toit (Maple Ridge). A Shawnigan Lake grad in June, Du Toit leapfrogged Canada's under-20 program, which competed at the Junior World Rugby Trophy, and went from the U18 B.C. rugby team this past summer to the UVic Vikes in September and now the ARC. Clearly coach Kieran Crowley has a lot of faith in Du Toit, as do the team. “Going to the Vikes was a step up, and now it’s another step up, but that’s how it is in rugby, you’ve got to rise to the occasion,” Du Toit said. Canada’s attack was far from crisp and it shouldn’t fall on the shoulders of the young rookie, said Kleeberger. “Full credit to Giuseppe for trusting himself, I’d trust him again any day to make a kick,” Kleeberger said. “There’s always going to be that pressure (on Du Toit), he’s a mature player, he showed it in practice all week and positioned himself well today in the game.” sports@vicnews.com

More than 30 years after the fact, Mayfair Shopping Centre building services technician Bruce Knight remembers well the early days of his career at the mall. He was originally hired for summer relief in 1983. The following year he was among many new full-time hires as the Don Descoteau mall underwent a major Biz Beat expansion, the first of a series of improvements that happened over the following six years. As he helps Mayfair prepare to celebrate its 50th anniversary with visitors and mall staff today (Oct. 18), Knight recalls the look of the place when he started. “It was just really small. All we had was from basically where Anne Louise (Jewellers) and Purdy’s (Chocolates) are now, down to where admin is,” he says, listing stores that are well inside the current entrances. It was even smaller in 1963, when it opened as one of the region’s first shopping centres, one in which most stores and services had outdoor entrances. The first major changes came in 1974. “There was the big trend in the ’70s when

egular screening is one of the best ways to avoid the risk of developing cervical cancer. With that in mind, the Island Sexual Health Society has launched a three-step challenge for women in an effort to reduce the number of cases of cervical cancer in B.C. Bobbi Turner, the society’s executive director, says the first step is becoming educated about the importance of screening. “Sometimes the cells of the cervix become abnormal. Over time, these cells can change to cervical cancer,” she said. The second step is to get screened. Island Sexual Health, the region’s only dedicated sexual health care service provider, conducted nearly 4,000 screenings last year. “Screening helps to find (those) abnormal cells early when they can be easily removed,” Turner added.
The third step is to donate to the non-profit society. Island Sexual Health offers sex education and support, as well as a wide range of clinical services, including pap smears and testing for sexually transmitted infections and pregnancy. It serves roughly 22,000 clients every year. Of the 4,000 cervical cancer screenings it did last year, nearly one-quarter required some type of followup. To further promote their Cervical Cancer Screening Challenge, the society is hosting two drop-in cervical cancer screening clinics for women without access to a family doctor or a GP. They happen at the Island Sexual Health Centre, 101-3960 Quadra St., on Oct. 25 from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m., and Nov. 6 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. For more information on the campaign or to book a pap test appointment outside of these hours, call 250-592-3479. kslavin@saanichnews.com

improve energy, sleep Better, Reduce Cravings By Karen Jensen, ND Our ability to adapt to stress depends upon optimal function of the adrenal glands. When excess or chronic stress overloads our adrenal glands - symptoms and disease can occur. Some of the common earlier symptoms of adrenal stress include: fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, depression, low back pain, asthma, allergies, blood sugar problems, hormonal imbalances, irritability, headaches, sugar cravings, gastrointestinal symptoms and inflammatory conditions.
CAPITAL CITY TUXEDO ANNUAL USED TUXEDO SALE Tuxedo Shirts, Ties, Vests, Shoes...
The ‘roots’ of the original AdrenaSense Formula Throughout my life I had good health and boundless energy and then suddenly in my early 30’s I hit the wall with fatigue… I had three children under the age of 3, my marriage broke up, and I went back to work thinking I could ‘do it all’. My body did not agree… nothing helped the crippling fatigue until I saw a naturopathic doctor who introduced me to my adrenal glands. Forty years later I still take adrenal support during times of added stress. When I started naturopathic practice in the 1980’s it was my own experience with adrenal fatigue that allowed me to recognize it in my patients and over the years I saw the need for an effective adrenal supplement to help people with the stressors and demands of daily living.

There is much more awareness about adrenal fatigue today and also other adrenal fatigue formulas on the market. AdrenaSense® is the original solution I formulated for patients and others who have found it very effective.

The herbs in the AdrenaSense formula are called adaptogens that have been proven to support stress reactions and normalize adrenal function. These include Rhodiola, Suma, Schizandra Berries, Siberian Ginseng and Ashwagandha, which in combination, enhance mental and physical performance; balance the nervous system helping with anxiety and insomnia; support the immune, cardiovascular and hormonal systems; counteract fatigue, anxiety and depression; provide vital energy and act as a ‘general tonic’ to support the effects of stress and fatigue.
