When Dean Norris-Jones rides 1,100 kilometres this fall, he’ll have roughly the same amount of students supporting him.

The vice-principal at Reynolds second-ary attributes his role as rider on this year’s Tour de Rock to the students who

have, for 10 years, taken ownership of the nine-day Cops for Cancer fundraising frenzy.

Norris-Jones was announced as special guest rider in the 2014 Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock rider during Friday’s official team launch at Reynolds. Norris-Jones will represent the support schools across Vancouver Island.

“It’s a bit humbling because I’m being recognized as a rider, but it’s a symbol of what everyone else has done,” Norris-Jones said prior to the announcement. “It’s recognition of all the hard work that the thousands of kids have put in.”

The teacher battled and defeated thy-roid cancer more than a decade ago and subsequently suggested supporting the

tour with some school fundraising.Kids helping kids after all is a great

story. “That first year we set a goal to see if

we could raise $5 for every person in the building, that’s $5,000,” he said.

Calling Bob Skene a tech-nology “expert” would be like calling Garry Kasparpov an “expert” chess player, or Eric Clapton an “expert” gui-tarist. The 74-year-old Saan-ich businessman deserves a more venerable title, perhaps “grandmaster” or “virtuoso.”

The Victoria Chamber of Commerce awarded Skene their highest possible acco-lade, the Lifetime Achieve-ment Award, for his 45 years of service to the community in the field of technology.

“I started in tech in 1969,” says Skene, sipping decaf inside a Saanich coffee shop. “Back then, we used punch cards and wire panels to get the computers to understand what they were supposed to do.”

Skene shakes his head as he recalls the sheer scale of early computer hardware.

“We built a 100,000 square foot computer room in the basement of the BC Systems building down on Cloverdale and Blanshard. It contained the central processing unit, all the memory banks, the disk drives and all the telecommu-nications.”

To put that in perspective, the 1969 Apollo 11 space-craft had guidance computer that weighed 32 kilograms, held 4kb of memory and cost $150,000. Today, an iPhone 5s fits in your shirt pocket, holds 64GB of memory and will set you back a couple hundred bucks.

“If airplanes evolved the same way as other technol-ogy,” jokes Skene, “a 747

would be five-centimetres tall, and you’d fly around the world in a couple minutes.”

Since becoming a chartered accountant in 1965, Skene served as CEO of several suc-cessful companies and was on the board of directors for a half-dozen more organizations like Royal Roads University and the Greater Victoria Air-port Authority.

Skene feels the biggest accomplishment of his long career was in founding the Vancouver Island Advanced Technology Council (VIATeC) in Saanich, whose mission was, and continues to be, to

help grow the technology sec-tor in Greater Victoria.  

“(In the 1990s) some of us saw what was coming,” says Skene. “We recognized the need for an organization that concentrated solely on helping Victoria technology companies. So VIATeC was founded, and they offered me the job as CEO.”

Skene says hungry young entrepreneurs were on every street corner in those early days, but most had no idea how to run a business.

“These were people in uni-versity, college and even high school. They needed a lot

of help with networking and business advice. So that’s what VIATeC did. It helped companies get started.”

These days, Skene serves as commander-in-chief of his own retirement.

He and his wife of 50 years spend their free time either at their Cowichan Lake cottage with their three grown kids and eight grandchildren, or counting passport stamps as they jet around the globe.

“Judy and I have been to 50 countries now, and by the time this year is over we’ll have been to 60.”

Swan Lake Christ-mas Hill Nature Sanc-tuary hosts its popular annual Native Plant Sale on May 17 and 18 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. There will be several dis-plays inside the Nature House as well as coffee and baked goods.

Native plants have many advantages for gardens including the protection of wild habitat, preventing the introduction of inva-sive plants, adding beauty to a garden and being low maintenance. Going native also helps save our natural heri-tage for future genera-tions.

The sale is in front of the Nature House at the Sanctuary at 3873 Swan Lake Rd. Parking is lim-ited. Visit swanlake.bc.ca to learn more.

What exactly is astigmatism?The question is asked every day and astigmatism is,

without doubt, one of the most misunderstood refractive disorders. Optometrists agree that astigmatism has various causes. While some theories claim it is hereditary, others state it is developmental. Both opinions are almost certainly correct.

The most common form of astigmatism is due to the clear front part of the eye, the cornea, not being round. This “out of round” of the cornea causes distortion of the focussed light, which in turn causes blurred vision at all distances. An uncorrected astigmatic eye is constantly trying to improve its focus. This is tiring and can cause headaches especially during precise visual work.

Most patients are surprised to learn that the majority of people have at least a small amount of astigmatism. The amount of astigmatism will determine the severity of the visual complaints. Most people can go for years without realizing that they have a problem. If one has never seen clearly, it is difficult to comprehend what clear vision truly is.

Fortunately both spectacles and contact lenses can correct astigmatism, and recently, refractive surgeons have added astigmatism corrections with lasers to their services.

When astigmatism is first corrected a period of adaptation and adjustment is to be expected. Objects may look distorted or slanted but clear. After a few days the strange symptoms will subside. It took the brain years to get used to the “old vision” so it will take a while for the “new vision” to settle.

It is very important to correct significant astigmatism in children. They may not complain, but uncorrected astigmatism can often cause poor performance at school. Don’t forget; first eye exam by age three. A regular eye examination with the optometrist is the best way to monitor astigmatism in patients of all ages.

Camosun College managed to cut 2.5 per cent cut with no programs cancelled as the Camosun Board of Governors approved a $114-million dollar budget for 2014-15 last.

“The budget has been a challenging process for the college given the flat funding environment and an anticipated funding reduction announced in the 2013 provincial budget,” a Camosun press release said. “Compounding the situation is the addi-tional lack of clarity regarding the future funding of the English as a Second Language pro-gram.”

ESL is often one of the first pro-grams to be cancelled when school budgets get tight.

“ESL continues to be a huge con-cern,” said John Boraas, vice presi-dent academics at Camosun. “We’re fine until 2015, and we’re looking the government to provide us with some future solutions.”

Camosun was issued $2.7 in two rounds of one-time funding to help institutions impacted by the federal government’s decision to change administration of ESL programs for

immigrants that went into effect April 1.

Although there will be a reduction of one cohort in the Applied Busi-ness Technology program, and Uni-versity Transfer will face a reduction of sections based on low enrolment, vulnerable programs such as Music

Professional Studies and Early Learning and Care remain safe for now.

“The college com-munity sees a proposal and offers insights,” said Russ Lazaruk, finance chair. “In this case those insights provided highly cre-ative approaches in which faculty and staff

members were prepared to modify programs in order to ensure that Camosun continues to meet its man-date in the best way possible, given our funding challenges.”

The 2.5 per cent reduction across the board could bring higher tuition fees, less services, and fewer class choices for students.

“We are confident that the budget protects the comprehensiveness of Camosun programs while recogniz-ing the fiscal realities of these times, and we look forward to a sustainable future,” said board chair Marilyn Pat-tison.

Battling gusts of wind, 135 middle school stu-dents manned tables in Esquimalt Gorge Park on Friday, sharing proj-ects that explore the history and planning the future of the Gorge waterway.

Grade 8 students at Glanford middle school in Saanich created the projects in response to a question posed by teachers “How have humans changed the Gorge waterway and what do you propose for its future? In groups of five or six they tack-led recreation, pollu-tion and myriad other topics in a cross-curric-ulum two-week project – meaning they worked into the history, sci-ence, social studies and English aspects of the project.

“Essentially its us having them work through a real life proj-ect in their town,” said teacher Mark Gerhardt.

Whitney Tran and Gemma Curdie were part of the group that created a native plant-ing area.

“Right here maybe,” Curdie said, gestur-ing the grassy area between the Gorge

Waterway Nature House and the brack-ish water itself. “Maybe one of these (projects) could happen here one day.”

The pair were struck by the First Nations traditional healing aspects they learned about while investigat-ing the native plant spe-cies. Another piece of infrastructure history, the old dive platform that used to adorn the Gorge, seemed to strike a particular chord.

“It was interesting seeing what happened here 100 years ago,” Curdie said.

In an unfortunate

bit of kizmet, students take forays to the nearby bridge where a boom and absorbent pads spread to soak up a sheen of oil dis-covered on the water the night before. They walked over to learn

from World Fisheries Trust staff, who run the Gorge Waterway Nature House and helped the students with the proj-ects, all about oil spills while looking at rain-bow hue in person. [email protected]

Christine van Reeuwyk/News staff

Glanford middle school students Gemma Curdie, left, and Whitney Tran hope to one day see native plantings, similar to the garden they developed as a project through a cross-curricular program.

The prospect of my so-called Green MLA, Andrew Weaver,  speaking on my behalf or that of other Oak Bay-Gordon Head residents at the Kinder Morgan pipeline hearings fills me with dread.

The last time he claimed to be speaking on our behalf, he voted for the recent BC Liberal budget that enabled cuts to BC Ferries services, raising ferry fares, increased BC Hydro rates and Medical Service premiums.

The first time he spoke on our behalf, he voted for the first BC Liberal budget, his excuse being that the Liberal party had been elected government – and the 70 per cent of his constituents who voted against the Liberals were, I assume, chopped liver?

The BC Liberals are not a minority government – they don’t need his vote of confidence – but despite his constituents, he gives it.

MLA Weaver has careened from supporting the natural flushing of sewage in the Strait of Juan de Fuca school of thought, to seeing the David Black refinery in Kitimat – and its associated oil super tanker traffic – as a worthy compromise. Green election promises or the Green book “policies” be damned.

If it’s all the same to Andrew, I’ll count on our NDP MP Murray Rankin to present an informed, incisive intervention in the hearings as he draws upon several decades of expertise in constitutional and environmental law.

The New Democrats – federally and provincially – provide a clear, coherent opposition to northern refineries and associated oil super tankers, while my Green MLA and my Green MP provide incoherent and contradictory views on a Kitimat refinery and related oil super tankers.

My so-called Green MLA supports, and my Green MP opposes – go figure.

The NDP speaks with a single, clear voice in opposition to BC Ferry service cuts and fare increases, vastly increased BC Hydro rates, and Medical Service premium increases, while the Green party is both for and against this unjust BC Liberal action, thanks to our Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA going against the Green MP and his constituent’s wishes.

Ron FarisSaanich

The NDP’s holy war against changes to the Agricultural Land Reserve got nastier last week, as it became clear it was defenders of the status quo who were being mowed down.

Ever since legislation was tabled to divide the ALR into two zones, with greater emphasis on social and economic needs to help viability of farms in the Kootenay, Interior and North regions, almost all the protest has been from unaffected areas. And much of it depends on emotion rather than fact.

In the legislature, Nanaimo MLA Leonard Krog rose to praise the late Dave Stupich, who birthed the ALR sacred cow as agriculture minister in 1973. Krog likened Stupich to the Biblical Daniel for his bravery in preserving farmland for our children’s children.

Cowichan Valley MLA Bill Routley did his signature “jiggery pokery” routine, this time accusing cabinet minister Bill Bennett of being “giddy” at the prospect of paying off his friends with development land. Before he gets too jiggery outside the protection of the legislative chamber, he would be well advised to find some evidence.

Stikine MLA Doug Donaldson, who at least represents an area being given broader latitude for secondary uses on farmland, warned of drought in California. The history of this is currently a hot

topic in the quasi-religious climate change debate.

Meanwhile in the real British Columbia, life and farming go on under the existing farmland protection regime.

The largest ALR exclusion in B.C. history took a big step forward last week, as a federal-provincial review panel issued its report on the Site C dam proposed for the Peace River.

The panel noted that the dam would flood 2,775 hectares

of farmland, representing all seven categories of soil quality. Opponents use a figure about twice that size, as if all the affected land was farmable.

The panel accepted that this land, including the small amount of micro-climate bottom land, represents 0.2 per cent of the Peace region’s farm receipts. I would add that’s because what is farmed at all is mostly growing hay, which requires minimum capital and labour.

“It has potential, to be sure, but its unique and irreplaceable contribution would be for those labour-intensive crops like vegetables, which are not remotely practical in a labour-short region,” the report states.

We have to bring in Mexican guest workers to get vegetable and fruit crops off in the Fraser Valley and Okanagan. For a five-month

growing season in the bush outside Fort St. John? This is a classic example of the religious fervor that replaces reason among the southern faithful of the ALR.

And how is the status quo working? Summerland council just voted to swap 80 hectares of flat farmland for 90 hectares further away in the Summerland Hills. The town is on restricted lakeshore terrain and the council wants to increase its urban zone, using the community need provisions that are enhanced by the current legislative amendments.

This was after a loud demonstration organized with the help of a fake grassroots protest machine called LeadNow, complete with slick signs and website. (LeadNow also helped round up anti-pipeline protesters this past weekend.)

The media were fooled as usual, but not Summerland council. LeadNow has moved on to lining up people to flood the Agricultural Land Commission with form letters and petitions against Summerland’s plan.

The B.C. Agriculture Council, whose board first supported and then objected to the ALR amendments, has clarified its objections. It wants flexibility for secondary uses extended to the prime farmland zones of the Okanagan, Fraser Valley and southern Vancouver Island.

A new battle of the pipes marks the 2014 Victoria High-land Games and Celtic Festival this weekend at Topaz Park.

New this year is the Canada vs. U.S. Grade 1 Pipe Band Com-petition which will pit the top Grade 1 pipe band from Canada (the Simon Fraser University Pipe Band) against the top U.S. pipe band (the LA Scots Pipe Band) as they prepare for the world championships in Scot-land later this year.

The Games association also added an elite women’s cate-gory in the heavy events, some-thing Carl Jensen, a member and competitor for the last 10 years, says adds to the experience.

“Spectators will be able to see both male and female world-class athletes at the games rep-resenting the professional side of the sport,” he said.

The weekend will also feature cultural endeavours such as Whisky School, sheep shearing demonstrations, sheepdog herd-ing trials, Highland dance com-

petitions, music and more.“It’s an event that offers some-

thing for everyone and it really brings the community together,” Jensen said.

The association has run the Games since 1937 to preserve the cultural aspect while offering a variety of events.

“What’s amazing is how much the Games have evolved and changed … into an all encom-passing event that celebrate

Scotland’s culture and heritage,” said Jensen.

Gates are open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Advance tickets ($12 for sin-gle-day adult admission, $10 for seniors and youth) for the games are available at The Strath Liquor Store, Hotel Grand Pacific and Liquor Planet. Chil-dren under 12 get in free.

The Victoria triath-lon has a new owner, and it’s the biggest name in the sport: Iron-man.

The freshly renamed 2014 Saunders Subaru Ironman 70.3 Victoria will take place June 15, making it the 31st race in the Ironman North American Series. The new corporate owners hope to transform the local race into an inter-national event that will

bring thousands of visi-tors and athletes to Vic-toria from around the world.

“What a great announcement for our region,” said Saanich mayor Frank Leonard. “We look forward to this being a great suc-cess and one of (Iron-man’s) flagship events.”

World Triathlon Cor-poration of Florida, which owns the Iron-man brand, purchased the series of races from Lance Watson and Paul Regensburg – Olympic

coaches and owners of LifeSport, a company that gives world-class coaching to athletes in 23 countries. The two men will remain deeply involved in the triath-lon, with LifeSport act-ing as official coach for the event and the newly opened LifeSport build-ing on Elk Lake serving as race headquarters.

“Lifesport has cre-ated a fantastic triath-lon race series that Ironman will be proud to own,” said Andrew Messick, CEO of Iron-man. “The sport is thriving in Canada and we are excited to expand our race offer-ings in this beautiful country.”

The 70.3-mile race will feature a 1.2-mile swim across Elk Lake, a 56-mile bike around the Saanich Pennisula, and a 13.1-mile run around the Elk Lake trail. The winner of the race will receive up to $10,000.

“It’s so exciting to have these events in our community,” said Victoria’s Brent McMa-hon, a two-time Olym-pian who placed sec-ond in the recent Iron-man North American Championship. “Iron-man is going to take our beautiful city to the rest of the world.”

(Cowichan), Carla Johnson (media) Const. Ryan Blakely (Nanaimo), Aux. Carrie Jordan (Oak Bay), Const. George Minshull (Oceans-ide) Const. Jordan Reid (Oceans-ide), Const. Tyson Richard (Port Hardy) Sgt. Jason Bland (Saanich), Const. Heather Hunter (Saanich), Const. Justin Whittaker (Saanich), Cpl. Jack McClintock (Central Saan-ich-retired), Katie DeRosa (media), Chandler Grieve (media), Const. Ryan Koropatniski (Victoria), Det. Lori Lumley (Victoria), Const. Jenni-fer Young (Victoria) Staff Sgt. Steve Wright (West Shore).

Team 2014 set to start on Sept. 20

The school amassed $16,000.

Since then students and staff have sculpted the two-week campaign designed to combat fundraising fatigue. It starts the Tues-day eight school days before the Canadian Cancer Society tour riders roll through the front door.

“The kids have really come to own the fun-draising and it really galvanizes the staff and students in the school,” he said. “This is a great 10th year for us, with any luck we’ll pass the half million mark in fun-draising.”

Last year they raised $101,000

“It’s pretty impres-sive stuff. The staff here is so amazing and the kids are just incred-ible,” Norris-Jones said. “It’s a cause that resonates deeply with everyone.”

He’s training with the team in preparation for the 1,100-kilometre, two-week bicycle jour-ney down Vancouver Island that starts Sept. 20.

“I turn 55 this year, things that came easy at 25 and 35 aren’t com-ing as easy as they were,” he said. “For sure it’s testing me, but it’s kind of ‘hurts so good’,”

Many a rider has attested over the past 16 annual rides that the emotional often outweighs the physical anyway. Things could get heady when he rolls back to the roost of Reynolds in early October, but he’s not phased.

“I’m more about the journey than the goal, the end line. I’m going to take every day as it comes. I live in the moment more than looking forward,” he said, adding after a pause… “It will defi-nitely be impactful for me.”

Some of the youngest patients at Victoria Gen-eral Hospital will benefit from the latest fundraiser initiated by the Victoria Hospitals Foundation.

The campaign, for which a $310,000 goal has been set, aims to purchase a variety of equipment for the pediatric and neonatal care wards at VGH to improve the treatment given to babies and tod-dlers.

“The children we care for require complex, sophisticated treatment to get well and go home to their families,” Dr. Nisha Pillay, a neonatolo-gist and medical lead with the hospital’s neonatal follow-up clinic, said in a release.

The equipment includes three “open care” incu-bators that allow medical team members quick and efficient access to babies in the neonatal unit, a breathing ventilator for the pediatric intensive care unit, a portable ultrasound machine for the unit and a milk analyzer that will help premature infants in the neonatal ICU receive proper nutri-tion.

One-year-old Ayvrie Monaghan, who weighed just two pounds at birth and had underdeveloped respiratory and heart function, was among hun-dreds of sick children cared for in the neonatal and pediatric ICUs over the past year. Last month, a week after her first birthday, she was finally allowed to go home with her parents, Liz and Wil-liam.

“April 14, 2014 was an amazing day for our fam-ily,” Liz said. “We dressed (Ayvrie) in a bright and cheery spring outfit, overjoyed to know she was finally healthy and strong enough leave the hospi-tal and take her first breaths of fresh air.”

The Victoria Hospitals Foundation campaign officially began last week, but social media efforts kick into high gear this week, focusing on a bear

which had yet to be named at press time.For every 10 “likes” received on the foundation’s

Facebook page, a bear will be donated to a child in the neonatal or pediatric ICU at VGH.

Donations can be made three ways: return the direct mail letter delivered to homes, call 250-519-1750 or visit victoriahf.ca. For more information, call the foundation at the number above or visit the website.

Ever wondered what use a tree can have in its after-life or how salmon bearing streams in urban areas can be kept clean of pollutants?

The Friends of Mount Douglas Park Society and the District of Saanich hope to answer some of those questions through new interpretive signs being erected in the park early this summer.

The two new signs will explain some of the parks interesting features.

One, which will located just a short walk from Ash Road on the ocean side of the park, will explain the 229-year life span of a Doug-las Fir which was recently topped and how it will serve the surrounding natural habitat in its afterlife.

The other sign, located on the east side of the park at the Douglas Creek Weir will explain the function of the weir which helps keep pollutants like oil and silt out of the salmon-bearing creek.

“The signs will give peo-ple something to stop and read during hikes through the park as well as give

them insight into some of the features the park has. For many people, I don’t think they even know the function of the weir so that sign will really help,” said President of the Friends of Mount Douglas Park Soci-ety, Darrell Wick.

The park currently has

an existing interpretive sign along the edge of Douglas Creek explaining the salmon life cycle. Wick said the new signs will be very similar.

“The sign explaining the weir is particularly impor-tant to the Society because it explains the watershed of Douglas Creek and how it is

impacted by the urban envi-ronment,” explained Wick, adding that the sign will also offer simple tips for people who live in the watershed area on how they can help keep the creek clean.

“Small things like build-ing rain gardens or swales on your property or discon-

necting downspouts, which keeps the water out of the storm drain systems, are easy to do and really help the creek,” said Wick.

The Society expects the project, which is a partner-ship between them and the District of Saanich, to be complete by early summer.

“The signs and frames are ready to go, we’re just wait-ing for them to be installed by parks staff,” said Wick.

Closure boosts numbersMount Douglas Park saw a staggering 300,000

people and vehicles cross the gate at Churchill Road between July 2012 and July 2013.

According to Darrell Wick, president of the Friends of Mount Douglas Park Society, the large number of visitors can be attributed somewhat to the closure of Churchill Road before noon (the road which leads to the summit) about two years ago.

“Since then the number of walkers and joggers using Churchill Road before noon has just skyrock-eted and people absolutely love being able to use the road in the mornings without traffic on it,” said Wick.

In hopes of increasing park usage even more and keeping walkers, hikers and runners on the correct trails, the society will work with the District of Sannich over the next couple of years to install way finding markers at all the trail intersections in the park. Three trails, the South Ridge Trail, the Irvine Trail and the Blenkinsop Trail already have similar markers.

“It is a huge project and we’re still in the beginning phases but it will be wonderful when it’s complete,” said Wick, who added that over 80 signs will be erected beginning, he hopes, sometime this fall.
