CPR training goes high-tech Kevin Menz News Staff

CPR-training mannequins sat scattered on the front lawns of the B.C. Parliament Buildings on Saturday. St. John Ambulance’s British Columbia and Yukon division, alongside AED-manufacturer Zoll, hosted virtual reality CPR and AED — automated external defibrillator — training. The training was open to anyone. “A majority of the people who’ve had [CPR and AED] training may not come across sudden cardiac arrest, so the virtual reality gives you a life-like scenario,” said Drew Binette, St. John’s director of strategic partnership and fund development. The organization is considering bringing virtual reality into its

classrooms. “We’re trying it out to see if this is something we’re going to add to the classroom in the future,” Binette said. Derek Sloos, who was visiting Victoria, was the first to try the training Saturday. “I was nervous, and it was just virtual reality,” the 28-year-old, who’s yet to receive formal CPR and AED training, said. “I can’t imagine a real situation.” He didn’t realize how hard he needs to push during chest compressions. “It was intimidating constantly having to push harder because you feel like you’re going to hurt the individual,” Sloos said. Binette compared the virtual reality training to a game. “We’ve kind of made it fun,” he

said. The exercise, which plays out of an app from Zoll, can be used by anyone with virtual reality goggles, including the cardboard models, Binette said. The app will provide the trainee with a percentage score after the virtual reality exercise. The score measures whether or not the trainee is performing compressions at the right speed and with the right depth. Sloos scored a 38 per cent, which sits roughly in the middle of scores Binette has seen for first time users with no CPR or AED training. “I’ve seen anywhere from 10 per cent to 50 per cent, so we have a lot of training to do,” Binette said. Don’t expect to score 100 per cent with limited practice, of course. Binette, who was a paramedic for 12 years, said he scored an 88 per cent.

Downtown businesses have seen significant changes to local infrastructure in recent years, some of which have caused negative impacts to their shops. In a new report put out by the Downtown Victoria Business Association, 400 surveyed respondents named parking availability and cost of parking to be two of the top four factors that negatively impact the vitality of their businesses. The other two factors are safety and the public perception of a clean downtown. In the survey 78.8 per cent of respondents ranked parking availability as one of the top four factors. One of the largest contributors to a change in parking availability is the construction of developments in the downtown core, with over 15 condominium projects currently on the go. This is seconded by the Victoria bike lane network; while there are nearly 2,000 onstreet parking spots throughout downtown Victoria, the installation of the Pandora bike lanes saw the loss of 44 parking spots and the Fort Street lanes lost an additional 30.

Car show sends off Vic High shop teacher in style Kevin Menz News Staff

Kevin Blecic’s students won’t let him leave without a party. The shop teacher, who’s headed Victoria High School’s autobody program for 15 years, is moving to a job with the school board, where he’ll coordinate the district’s trades programs. His students, led by Grade 11 student Tony Harrington, organized a car show Thursday to send him off. “It’s surreal,” Blecic, 44, said. “It’s going to be hard leaving them.” More than a dozen classic

cars packed the parking lot behind the school on Thursday. Some were cars worked on by past or current students. Others were brought in by local car enthusiasts, many of whom knew Blecic. Harrington said he organized the event as a thankyou to the teacher. “He needed something special. It’s like his graduation,” the 17-year-old said. “He’s amazing. I’ve never had a teacher like him.” Harrington’s own car, a 1976 Plymouth Volare Roadrunner, was in the show. He and a team of classmates fixed up the car — which he bought for $500 in the sum-

mer after eighth grade, before he could drive — during Harrington’s first two years in the autobody program. The program has been Harrington’s main motivator for coming to class. He’s been with the program since Grade 9 and, last year, won first place at the provincial Skills Canada competition and second place at the national event for auto refinishing. “It’s been my drive to come to school,” he said of the program. “It doesn’t feel like being in high school.” Harrington hopes one day to own his own shop, but Blecic said he also wouldn’t

mind seeing the 17-year-old leading the autobody program. “I hope he comes back and teaches here, to be honest,” Blecic said. “He’d be fantastic.” The teacher was grateful for the teen’s efforts. “He wants to build this community around cars and the passion for it. You can’t teach that,” Blecic said. “I can’t say enough about him.” Blecic’s job with the school comes to an end at the end of the month. He said he hopes his new position allows him to promote all trades and Vic High Grade 11 student Tony Harrington, left, and teacher Kevin Blecic stand help students find a passion in front of Harrington’s 1976 Plymouth Volare Roadrunner, a car Harrington and for what they want to do. classmates restored under Blecic’s supervision.

Yorkshire terrier survives for days on remote island Nina Grossman News Staff

The misadventure of a tiny five-pound Yorkshire terrier named Poppie caused four days of worry for her family and local volunteer rescue crews after the little dog swam to an isolated island. On June 17, Poppie’s family had taken her to Gyro Beach with her twin sister Daisy when a larger dog chased the little terrier, causing her to bolt off the beach towards some tennis courts near Ten Mile Point. When they couldn’t find Poppie, the tiny dog’s family called in the local dog-finding experts, ROAM. The Greater Victoria non-profit, ‘Reuniting Owners with Animals Missing’ frequently uses the crowd-sourcing capabilities of Facebook to track down

Poppie, a five-year-old Yorkshire terrier is back with her family after a wild adventure in Saanich – from Gyro Beach to Ten Mile Point and Flower Island, then back again. (Facebook/ROAM) spooked critters – from missing ferrets and lizards on the lam to runaway budgies and stolen baby goats. Most commonly though, the organization helps reunite the region’s canines with

their worried families. Unknown to many are the hundreds of real-life volunteers behind the program – volunteers who jumped into action when alerted of Poppie’s dis-

appearance. The same day she went missing, more than a dozen ROAM volunteers helped Poppie’s family canvas the area. Within hours, signs were up and a picture of Poppie was plastered across the web with the words, ‘Finding Poppie’ scrolled above the ROAM logo. A tip came in that Poppie had been spotted on Flower Island – a small, remote, rocky island with a tiny grove of trees and thick underbrush, located a few kilometres from Gyro Beach and at least 50 feet from shore. The tipsters took their canoe out to the island to confirm that they had seen Poppie, and not a mink or weasel. They even helped Poppie’s owners get over to the island to see if they could coax her out but to no avail. When the wind picked up and the waters got rough, the search

was temporarily called off. The next day, using a boat supplied by a friend of the volunteer group, a trap was set and baited on Flower Island. Three live cameras were set from all angles. When Poppy was finally sighted on Flower Island, she was still too far in “fright and flight” mode to come to her calling owner. The next day ROAM volunteers set up a bacon and sausage barbecue on the beach of Flower Island, hoping the scent would draw Poppie to them. Still nothing. “We were worried about her trying to swim across and getting swept up by the current,” said ROAM admin Terry Mah. “That was the big concern.” But then volunteers got word that Poppie had again been spotted up near Arbutus Park. “She swam there and then

swam back, which is amazing,” Mah noted It took a number of volunteers driving slowly through surrounding neighbourhoods before Poppie was finally spotted on the front porch of a home on Arbutus Street. In a Facebook post, volunteer Barb said, “out of the corner of my eye, as we passed, I saw a teeny, tiny Yorkie sitting on the front porch behind some sneakers. “Poppie looked left and then right and then tucked her head down in between her front legs as if to say, “I’m done with all of this. I’ve got nothing left.” I slowly walked up to her and got a hold of her harness and scooped her up in my arms. She was safe.” Poppie had lost one pound, but was otherwise healthy, according to a vet’s evaluation.

Celebrating the best Victoria has to offer Results are in for the 2019 Best of the City awards

Katherine Engqvist News staff

The results of the annual Best of the City Awards are always a highlight of the year. It’s a chance to rediscover old favourites and become new regulars at others. This year we celebrated our 25th year with an exclusive reception for finalists. Sponsored by The City of Victoria Business HUB and the Hotel Rialto, a boutique hotel in the heart of Victoria, local business

Some of the most voted-on categories included the best attraction (Butchart Gardens, Royal BC Museum, Breakwater Ogden Point), the best place to shop for BBQs (Capital Iron, Costco, Canadian Tire), and the best bookstore (new) (Bolen Books, Munro’s Books, Russell Books) or bookstore (used) (Russell Books, Beacon Books, The Salvation Army Thrift Shore). If you didn’t get a chance to vote or nominate one or more of your favourites, there’s always next year so be sure to watch for the 26th edition next spring.

Councillors call for more action to prevent sexual violence Measures aim to reduce sexual violence in downtown bars Nicole Crescenzi News Staff

Victoria councillors hope to minimize incidents of sexualized violence and sexual harassment in the city’s bar scene. A motion put forward by Couns. Laurel Collins, Sarah Potts and Jeremy Loveday sug-

gests stronger measures to create safety in downtown liquor establishments. This includes adding sexualized violence prevention into the mandate of the Municipal Liquor Policy and Late Night Program, requiring bar and nightclub staff to take sexualized violence training and requiring businesses seeking a liquor license to include a sexual harassment and sexual violence prevention plan within their application. “The majority of women are going to experience some kind

of sexualized violence, and I feel like we have a responsibility to create a safer Laurel Collins and more inclusive community,” said Collins. Currently the city operates its own Late Night Out program as well as an internationally-practised Good Night Out program

Additionally, parking costs were ranked in the top four factors by 53.2 per cent of respondents. Most recently, costs to park shifted with the addition of parking fees for street parking on Sundays, which began at the beginning of May. Monday through Saturday rates range from $1.50 to $3 per hour, with 90-minute to two-hour time limits, while Sunday fees are $2 per hour in a 90-minute zone and $1 per hour in other zones. Parkades remain free on Sundays. The installation of these fees aims to cover the costs of a subsidized transit passes for Victoria youth, though coun-

but there is no comprehensive, mandatory program in place at Victoria liquor-establishments. “We as a council don’t have a clear sense of how bars and venues are responding,” Collins said. “It’s very possible that a bunch of them are responding, and very possible that a bunch of them aren’t.” In a report brought to the committee of the whole on May 16, staff provided council with an update on the municipality’s Late Night Program, which currently mandates supervised taxi stands, 24-hour

washrooms, Victoria Police patrol officers on Friday and Saturday nights, the availability of hot street food and the establishment of a late night advisory committee. The report stated that several sexual assault prevention workshops were conducted with bar and restaurant operators, the Victoria Police and taxi stand attendees, but that more steps were required. These steps include working with licences to address public space safety issues, conducting venue audits, completing

an update to the BarWatch program, developing common policies for standards of conduct and initiating awareness patrol teams for late night and weekend activities. “This has the potential to shift how venues and pubs are responding to sexualized violence and assaults and ideally provide them with better tools and understanding,” Collins said. The motion will come forward for consideration on Thursday, June 27. nicole.crescenzi@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW

Delays handcuff cannabis industry It’s been nearly six years since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced he would rather see cannabis legalized instead of just decriminalized. Back then he was just plain old Justin, on the campaign trail trying to garner votes and reinvigorate the federal Liberal party. Two years later, the Liberals cruised back to power on that promise and others. It’s not entirely the Liberals’ fault that we’ve yet to see a thriving cannabis industry. Though it took three years in office, they did deliver on the legislation last October. But even though they had those three years, provincial and local governments didn’t really get started on their own legislation until, effectively, the last minute. So far, relatively few cannabis retailers have been able to open across Canada. Notably, the first to open in B.C. was a provincial government-operated store in Kamloops. But most of the many applications from hopeful private retailers in Greater Victoria and around the province are still waiting for the dual approval they need from the province and their municipal government. It’s not that getting a licence to sell cannabis should be easy. It shouldn’t, and there are countless obstacles and social issues that need to be dealt with. But with three years warning, there is little excuse for provincial and local governments not to have been better prepared to resolve those problems and implement legalization, which was a popular idea long before the Liberals decided to run with it. After all, cannabis has been effectively legal for a long time. It’s just that all the money generated by the industry was going into the pockets of criminals instead of generating taxes. Governments should have had frameworks, laws and bylaws ready to go by the time legalization legislation dropped, only needing fine tuning to match the fed’s ideas. By now, most of the applications should have been either approved or denied, with private operators starting to add to local and provincial economies, and driving the black market further underground. You would think governments didn’t want the tax money that cannabis retail stores are going to generate.

Emissions conclude, that means much faster development and deployment of cleaner energy, especially for power generation. Canada has a head start. Our power sector already generates a considerable amount of energy with hydro, wind and solar, but we aren’t yet tapping all the available options. Saskatchewan, which has Canada’s highest wind and solar energy potential, spent $1.5 billion on carbon capture and storage to keep burning coal, with poor economic and health outcomes. Greater electrification and renewable energy deployment means investing in energy storage, smart grids and better transmission and distribution systems. We can even use hydro dams and reservoirs to store clean energy. Distributed energy with technologies like rooftop solar and battery storage for homes and businesses can create energy independence and reduce reliance on dirty fuels like diesel in remote communities. We have little time to get emissions under control before we lock so much CO2 and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere that temperatures will rise to catastrophic levels. Even the oil companies know this. The solutions are there; we just need the will to employ them. David Suzuki is a scientist, broadcaster, author and co-founder of the David Suzuki Foundation.

Ministry rejects safety changes at intersection Devon Bidal News Staff

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MoTI) is ignoring a safety report it commissioned regarding a non-conforming intersection affected by the McKenzie Interchange project, say local residents. The report says the intersection at Admirals Road and Esson Road is dangerous. George and Vicki Blogg have lived in the area bordered by Highway 1 and Admirals Road for 30 years and were involved in previous McKenzie Interchange designs. They were on the 1996 committee and have stayed engaged ever since. The main access road to their community, Portage Road, has been blocked off for the new pedestrian walkway as part of the new interchange design. This forces residents to use Esson Road, which requires a hairpin right turn off Admirals Road. The intersection is also at the base of a 12 per cent grade on Esson Road and Admirals Road is at a nine per cent grade, says George, the president of the Portage Inlet Sanctuary Colquitz Estuary Society (PISCES). He and his wife refer to Esson Road as a “toboggan path” and feel that a tragedy is going to unfold at the intersection. Esson Road is not only at a sharp angle with Admirals Road, it’s also compounded by two residential driveways and poor sightlines, says Vicki, PISCES secretary and treasurer. School children frequently cross the road at the intersection while walking to Marigold, Spectrum and St. Joseph schools. Some 200 residents are afraid that they’ll be rear-ended turning off Admirals Walk onto Esson Road because there is no right turn lane,

Vicki and George Blogg, members of the Portage Inlet Sanctuary Colquitz Esturary Society, are fighting to have the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure improve the safety of the Admirals Road and Esson Road intersection. (Devon Bidal/News Staff) George explains. “People behind you get angry when you slow down, but if you don’t, your turn is too wide and you end up in oncoming traffic,” he says. The new interchange will also increase the number of cars coming down Admirals Road and they will likely be going faster than they are now, says Vicki. The original Road Safety Audit (RSA) done by MoTI in March 2016 made no mention of the closure of Portage Road or its impacts, Vicki explains. Concerned, the Bloggs contacted the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to begin talks of making the intersection safer. The last time PISCES met with MoTI was in November 2018 when they met to discuss a draft

of the report. At that time, the two options for improving the safety of the intersection were presented along with several geometric design changes. The Bloggs were happy with the report because it meant they’d been heard and that the safety of the intersection would be improved. Or so they thought. On April 3, they received an email from Michael Pearson, district manager for Vancouver Island, with MoTI’s final report on the matter dated Jan. 4 stating that they acknowledge that the SNC-Lavalin report recommends several safety changes at the intersection to calm traffic and make right turns off Admirals Road safer. However, Pearson concluded that the “changes

are not within the current scope of the McKenzie project.” “We’ve always been in favour of the upgrades and the highway project. We’ve supported the project. We thought that we were working with them and they were working with us and we were working towards a goal,” says George. “We feel like the rug has been pulled out from underneath us.” They were under the impression that the final decisions would be safety option one, a bike lane with a buffer which could act as a partial right turn lane, or option two which included a right-turn lane for drivers to decelerate. They weren’t aware there was a third option which involved doing nothing. “I don’t want to be in an accident,” says George. He worries that if something isn’t done before the interchange project is completed, nothing will ever be done. “We all know when they walk away from a project like this, they’re not coming back. And if they claim it’s out of the scope of the project now, why would it ever be in the scope of the project in the future?” PISCES assumed that money was the reason MoTI decided not to move forward with the safety improvements as the project is now $11 million over budget, but it has never been confirmed. Saanich Mayor Fred Haynes has been supportive of PISCES and the group is meeting with Victoria-Swan Lake MLA Rob Fleming this week. “Lives matter and safety has to become a priority and they have a responsibility,” says George. “[MoTI] cut off our primary road. They’re forcing us to into a more dangerous situation than we were before the project and that, to me, is unacceptable.”

Sewer line construction brings traffic disruptions to Dallas Road Shalu Mehta News Staff

Motorists travelling on Dallas Road can expect some delays beginning this week. Pipe installation on Dallas Road between Government and Douglas streets will lead

to road detours and the closure of the same portion of road during the week, according to the Capital Regional District. Road work takes place Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. The road closure between Government and

Douglas streets is expected to last about eight weeks. Dallas road will be closed 24 hours a day from Monday morning to Friday afternoon for pipe installation for with only local traffic allowed on the road. A detour will be in place and the road will reopen on the

weekends. The CRD’s Wastewater Treatment Project includes the construction of a pipe which will transport wastewater from Clover Point Pump Station to the McLoughlin Point Wastewater Treatment Plant for tertiary treatment.

The pipe, called the Clover Forcemain, will run along Dallas Road from Clover Point to Ogden Point, where it will connect to the Victoria cross-harbour undersea pipe. Construction began in October, 2018 and is expected to take about two years to complete.

As of April, over 50 per cent — or 1.6 km — of the pipe has been installed. All construction activities for the Clover Forcemain are anticipated to be complete by summer 2020. Following the pipe installation, the road will be repaved. Clover Point Park has been reseeded.

Fatal apartment fire leaves dozens out of their homes Kevin Menz News Staff

A fire at a Richmond Road apartment complex may leave residents in nearly one-third of the building’s suites without homes for several weeks. According to the Saanich Fire Department, 24 of the 85 suites building were left uninhabitable after the Friday morning fire. “Some residents will be able to return to their homes tonight,” the fire department said in a news release. “However, the residents from the uninhabitable suites may be impacted for several weeks.” The fire department is working with the Saanich Emergency Program and Emergency Support Services to support the affected residents. “Our thoughts are with those who have been impacted by this incident and we thank all of the emergency personnel who assisted with the response,” the department said. Emergency crews were called to the fire, on the 2600-block of Richmond Road, around 4:30 a.m. Friday. Heavy smoke

Three departments responded to a structure fire in the 2600-block of Richmond Road early Friday morning. (Kendra Crighton/News Staff) and flames were pouring from a fourth-floor balcony when firefighters arrived. A woman in her 60s died. She was found in the hallway of the fourth floor and later succumbed to her injuries. Two other residents were sent to hospital, suffering from smoke inhalation. Capt. Jerry Tomljenovic, with the fire department, said Friday morning that about 50 people were forced out of the building and that the displaced res-

idents were taken to the Cedar Hill Recreation Centre. Food, clothing and lodging was being issued to the residents, he said. The cause of the fire was still unknown, as of Monday. Saanich police Det. Sgt. Damian Kowalewich told media he was not sure if the fire was suspicious. Officers with the detective division, the forensic team and the patrol unit are all involved in the investigation. Fire crews and the B.C. Coroners Service are also involved.

Performers awe crowds at Indigenous festival Nina Grossman News Staff

A celebration of B.C. First Nations culture returned to Victoria last weekend. The 2019 Victoria Indigenous Cultural Festival provides a unique and special opportunity to connect with and learn about the incredible cultures of B.C.’s First Nations peoples – from stunning song and dance performances to demonstrations of weaving and drum-making. “What’s happened in the last while is, our people have put ourselves into a position to say, ‘okay we know what’s happened in the past, but we have to look to the fu-

ture,’” said George Taylor, festival organizer. “That’s the way I look at it. The only way we’re going to be able to do things together is to we have to do it in support of one another.” Taylor, of Kwakwaka’wakw First Nations, says festivals such as this one play an important role. “The festival is very, very well known throughout the province now and people come from the U.S.,” he said. “I think it’s so important because our people, at one point in time, were not allowed to speak our language, were not allowed to practice our culture and we had to go underground. Now we are in the position where we celebrate together.” Spakwus Slolem – meaning Eagle Song Dancers in English – are members of the Squamish Nation. They performed a number of songs at the Royal BC Museum plaza on Sunday afternoon. The dance group was one of dozens of B.C. First Nations performers to wow crowds at the three-day Indigenous Cultural Festival. (Nina Grossman/ News Staff)

Union Club of B.C. elects its first female president A woman will lead the way for the first time at The Union Club of British Columbia. “I’m delighted and honoured to serve the Union Club as their new president,” said Grace Van den Brink who was acclaimed during the annual general meeting on June 6. “We are an inclusive private social club which has evolved to where our membership and governing board is almost equally women and men. The club offers a wide range of events and offerings for members and guests that is unique in the city – all in a landmark clubhouse that is also a national historic site.” Nominated by past presidents Lawrence Graham and Bernard Beck, Van den Brink serves as the Union Club’s first woman president. “Over the years, she has given of her time and skills for the betterment of the club,” said Graham. “I know our membership will benefit from her leadership.”

V a n den Brink joined the Union Club in 2003. Her contributions include service on Grace Van den Brink various subcommittees, as a general committee (board) member and as vice president. She calls the club “her home away from home.” Her background includes both private and public sectors. Born into a family involved in the hospitality industry, she also worked in marketing and communications in Victoria and Vancouver. This was followed by public service with the province in public affairs and the ministry responsible for local government. Lyle Soetaert was acclaimed vice president, while Heather Kohler, Kerri Gibson and Tony Joe were named to the general committee.

Held in partnership with the Esquimalt and Songhees Nations, the three-day festival kicked off Friday – National Indigenous Peoples Day – and ran until Sunday outside the Royal BC Museum. Visitors took in smudge ceremonies, storytelling, drum-making and ce-

dar-weaving demonstrations, not to mention traditional dancers and singers from across B.C. including the Answer Womens Drum Group, Homiss Family Dancers, South Island Singers and Dancers, Lekwungen Traditional Dancers, Spakwus Slolem dancers and more.

Peanut butter mountain forms outside Mustard Seed Church Devon Bidal News Staff

A record number of jars of peanut butter were donated to The Mustard Seed Food Bank in the fifth annual Project Peanut Butter campaign. In the last six weeks, over 2,700 jars were collected and will now go to local families. The campaign is run by Island Nut Roastery, Merry Maids of Victoria, and a new partner, Pepper’s Foods. The event started in 2015 and grows every year, says Matt Tanner, an employee at

his family’s company, Merry Maids. “We’ve raised almost 8,000 in total,” he says. Each of the three partnering companies donates one jar of peanut butter for every jar donated by the public, he explains. “So one jar equals four.” The Merry Maids volunteers also cleans the church facility while the jars are being piled up in front of the building. Peanut butter is an important resource, says Duncan Chalmers of The Mustard Seed. Peanut butter is full of

protein and it lasts a long time as it’s non-perishable. The food bank doesn’t often have peanut butter on their shelves, but if they do, it doesn’t stay there for long due to it’s popularity. “This is great because this time of year the donations dip,” says Chalmers. “This shores up [our] stocks.” The 2,700 jars will likely fly off the shelves in just a few weeks, he explains. The Mustard Seed serves low-income individuals in Victoria. Over 1,000 families access the food bank each month.

Crowds flock to FernFest Kevin Menz News Staff

Fernwood Square was already filling up by noon Saturday as residents from the neighbourhood and across Greater Victoria flocked to the area for FernFest. The annual event, hosted by the Fernwood Neighbourhood Resource Group, marked its 24th year over the weekend. “We come every year,” said Olivia Sarko, who brought her children, three-year-old Lukacs and eight-month-old Jo-

seph, to catch the celebration’s Saturday festivities. She lives in Fernwood and loves running into all her neighbours. “It’s so fun.” The two-day FernFest features live music and dance, theatre, artists, numerous food vendors, an artisan market, bike tune-ups, face painting, magic, a cardboard castle, and several other activities and stations. “Their favourite part is definitely the castle,” said Claire Helm, whose son, five-yearold Weston, was busy running

through the cardboard fort. Her family came in from Saanich’s Broadmead neighbourhood for the event. “That’s the cool thing. People come from all over.” Saturday’s celebration kicked off with a bike parade and a bagel breakfast. Alex DeBin, 29, showed up early with his dog, Rusty, for the breakfast and the market. He caught FernFest at night last year, but decided he also wanted to take in the daytime events this year. “They’re both great,” he said.

Double vision occurs when the two eyes don’t point at the same object. Each eye sends an image to the brain which attempts to superimpose the two images. When this works we have depth perception, when it doesn’t we have “diplopia” or double vision. Some people experience occasional diplopia when they are tired or taking certain medications.This occurs because the central control of the muscles used to align the eyes is compromised.This condition, while a nuisance, disappears when the cause is remedied. Sometimes diplopia occurs for no apparent reason. Possible causes include a stroke, a tumor, diabetes or multiple sclerosis. It is important to have a medical evaluation to ensure nothing untoward has occurred. Often normal vision returns gradually. Spectacles with prism can be helpful in aligning the images until the diplopia has resolved or stabilized. If you suffer from double vision, be sure to have a thorough examination by an optometrist regularly.
