Vets Affairs cutswill exacerbate already critical situation: LegionVeterans will suffer from numbers game, union rep says

Erin McCrackenNews staff

The elimination of frontline staff at the Victoria office of Veterans Affairs Canada this fall will deal a devastating blow to military veterans, says the union representing affected employees.

The federal department’s main office on the Island will see its roster of 17 client service agents shrink by 4.37 full-time equivalent positions, as part of a nationwide downsizing plan. The Victoria agents each work with hundreds of veterans – includ-ing those from out of province – applying for disability pensions and mobility aids, among other ser-vices.

In the wake of the job cuts, the Royal Canadian Legion in B.C. expects to see an influx of veterans submitting more disability claims.

That will further swamp the Legion’s two service offi-cers, one each at CFB Esquimalt and in Vancouver, who are already filing papers for hundreds of vets, who turn to the Legion rather than Veterans Affairs.

“The workload has increased tenfold for our two ser-vice officers in the last few months, to a point where we’re going to have to hire two more,” said Dave Sinclair, immediate past president of the B.C./Yukon Command of the Royal Canadian Legion.

Job cuts at Veterans Affairs will only compound the challenge of providing for military veterans, he said.

The number of Afghanistan vets who are now seek-ing treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder from Legion-funded treatment programs, and who are seeking to file claims, is only the tip of the iceberg.

Prom, grad cause for reflectionThe months, years go by ‘so fast’ for Vic High students

Don DescoteauNews staff

As parents of school-aged children can attest, spring is often a busy time of year.

Try being a student in Grade 12, attempting to find a balance between numerous activities and end-of-term schoolwork.

Then throw organizing your class’ grad activities into the mix.

“May has been a blink,” says Jessica Dillon, Vic High’s co-valedictorian with fellow student Noah Spriggs. “June is going to go by so fast. I’m looking forward to a slow summer.”

Dillon has played a leadership role on the school’s grad committee, in a year where students have picked up the organizational slack due to teacher job action.

“We’ve been off-our-feet busy,” she says.

To help reduce the costs to students for tonight’s (June 1) grad

dinner-dance, Dillon and her nine fellow crew members organized several fundraisers – with just 13 days of planning.

After purposely lowballing their fundraising goals on each event, but maximizing their efforts, they shattered their objectives and brought in $5,000.

That level of leadership is something of which Grade 12 students have plenty of opportunities to take advantage, she says.

It’s just past 8 a.m. and Eric Pittman is right on time to witness a momentous occasion in the bitsy lives of Rabbit and Hatter.

With his video camera trained on the two baby hummingbirds, Pittman records the siblings leaving their nest, then flying right back – their first ventures out into the world.

The babies’ speedy turnaround is something Pittman has never seen go down quite like this.

“It’s very unusual,” he said. The Esquimalt resident is highly

attuned to the intricacies of the birds’ behaviour.

For the past three years, he has spent one to three hours a day documenting the life cycle of Anna’s hummingbirds, in a colony located on what he dubs Hummingbird Hill. He prefers to keep the actual location secret, for fear curious people will disturb the nests.

Most people strolling in the park would be surprised to learn the nests are within easy reach, sometimes as low as chest level – but only if you know what to look for.

They are hidden in plain sight, blending in with the fungus on the branches of trees.

Pittman uses his hearing to zero in on the birds.

A high-pitched peep tells him not only the location of the birds, but also what they’re up to. Whether feeding or fighting, each activity comes with a different sound.

Filming and photographing is a labour of love for Pittman, who calls himself a citizen scientist. He pays the bills by selling windows currently, but he’s fuelled by observing hummingbirds. He hopes to make a documentary, but his footage is also proving useful to a

new scientific study looking into the breeding habits of the birds.

“Eric is just unbelievable at finding nests – it’s crazy,” said Alison Moran, the volunteer co-ordinator of the Hummingbird Project, managed by the Rocky Point Bird Observatory.

“When you have someone with that kind of skill set, there is the opportunity to look at what the nesting requirements are, how they’re doing it,” she said. “We’ve learned an awful lot just because we’re able to do the observational study, because we’ve got the guru there.”

The Hummingbird Project was launched in 1997 and encompasses many studies of hummingbird populations in B.C. and Alberta.

In February, the project turned its attention to the resident population of Anna’s hummingbirds in Esquimalt.

Migrating hummingbirds, such as the Rufous, have declined significantly over the past 40 years, said Moran, who lives in Saanich. By contrast, the Anna’s populations on Vancouver Island have grown exponentially since they stopped migrating and put down permanent roots in the 1950s.

“It’s like an atom bomb going off,” she said.

Staying put means the birds don’t have to expend their energy on migration. Instead, they spend their energy having babies and building multiple nests each year.

“Now, interestingly, there is an overlap between where the Rufous have been lost and where the Anna’s have expanded into,” Moran said.

But, she warned, that doesn’t mean the Anna’s are to blame for the decline

of migrating species. They could simply be filling a gap created by other forces. The purpose of Moran’s study is to start to understand whether the relationship is causal, or simply correlational.

While Rufous are very sensitive to urbanization, Anna’s are positively impacted by humans, she explained.

“They actually try to breed around us,” she said.

Pittman jokes they lay eggs like chickens.

With his tripod, video camera and camera tucked in his arms, he scrambles up rocks and crouches through narrow deer paths. As he ducks and weaves, he points out several nests, some in use and some being pilfered by female birds to make their next nest.

Most people who document hummingbird life cycles stop the day the fledgelings leave the nest, Pittman said. But he likes to track them until they are fully weaned. So much happens during this time, he said.

Later that morning, he documents Hatter getting “a beatdown” by another hummingbird.

Young ones often get tough love from their moms, too. She’ll pull on their feathers to throw them off balance and force them to fly, he explained. Mom is eager to encourage self-sufficiency in her young so she can stop feeding them and tend to her next batch of eggs.

Over the years, Pittman has climbed trees to get a better shot, returned fallen eggs to their nest, and even fed a starving baby whose mother was sick.

He said he doesn’t feel paternalistic toward the hummingbirds, that his interest is merely the photographic challenge.

But his care is hard to miss.“It’s always nice to see them fledge,

because then I know they made it out okay.”

Craigflower to get more upgradesThe transformation of Craig-

flower Road in Esquimalt con-tinues.

Work on the next phase of the upgrade project will be tendered out early this month, leading to the installation of a sidewalk, new bus shelters and new pave-ment, as well as work on the storm water system.

Craigflower Road, from Garth-

land Road to Arm Street, will be the focus of the project. The work will likely begin in July and take two to three months to com-plete, said Jeff Miller, Esquimalt’s director of engineering and pub-lic works.

Funding for the third round of upgrades will be covered by funds left over from previous improvements.

Last June, the township cel-ebrated the completion of a $5-million overhaul to the busy thoroughfare, from Admirals Road to Garthland Road.

The installation of traffic-calm-ing features, bike lanes and new sidewalks came in under budget, resulting in a $1-million surplus for the project.

Four drivers were taken off area streets after catching the attention of Victo-ria police Tuesday morning for various reasons. Each inci-dent involved alcohol, police say.

Police kicked off the night of vehicle impoundments and driving prohibitions just after 12:30 a.m. in the 300-block of Island Hwy., when a Saturn sedan was spotted driving errati-cally. The 26-year-old Victoria driver was handed a 24-hour pro-hibition for drunk driv-ing and his car was impounded.

Just before 2 a.m., a 28-year-old Oak Bay man was stopped on Douglas Street for driving his Saturn coupe without a front licence plate. He was slapped with a three-day ban for impaired driving, plus his car was towed.

A few minutes later, a 21-year-old Esquimalt man was pulled over for speed-ing down Esquimalt Road. He was given a 24-hour prohibition for impaired driving and had his Honda hatch-back towed away.

Capping off the string of incidents, a 30-year-old Victoria man was stopped at

3:45 a.m. for driving erratically and going the wrong way down Fort Street. He was given a 24-hour driv-ing ban and his Chev-rolet sport utility vehi-cle was impounded.

Wanted man surrenders

A man wanted for allegedly threaten-ing to kill a pregnant

woman in early May and a police officer in January turned himself in at the Victoria Law Courts Monday.

Victoria police issued a public advi-sory last week about Marc William Bauer, 39, after they say the Greater Victoria resi-dent evaded police custody. A warrant for his arrest was issued May 15.

Investigators had expressed concern that Bauer was show-ing signs of escalat-ing violent behaviour that, combined with a severe alcohol addic-tion, make him “unpre-dictable and violent,” police spokesperson Mike Tucker said.

Bauer also faces charges related to uttering death threats to a Victoria police officer in January, a case that is now mov-ing through the courts.

When a Victoria police offi-cer radios for backup from Esquimalt, a five-second delay can feel like forever.

Long delays through the regional emergency communica-tions system are rare, but dead air remains enough of a prob-lem in pockets of Esquimalt to demand a new transmission site in the township.

Police and other users have immediate radio communica-tion about 99.55 per cent of the time, according to Capital Region Emergency Service Tele-communications (CREST) data. A recent Planetworks consul-tant study indicated that over-all, the system is working well, but call delays of more than five seconds have been experienced due to heavy congestion.

“In Esquimalt there are areas where coverage isn’t as good as officers would like,” said Gord Horth, CREST general manger.

“Officers need immediate access. If they don’t get that, the average queue is 1.2 sec-onds during busy times, but we have instances of three or

four seconds. In an emergency, counting one, two, three, four can be significant. At peak times you can get delays and we want to minimize those delays.”

Victoria police Const. Mike Russell said the Planetworks report confirms the problems officers have been struggling with for years – radio interfer-ence and other technical hang-ups with the system.

“There are still issues in Esquimalt and James Bay, but we are encouraged by the (Plan-etworks) report," he said.

Complaints with CREST have ebbed since the days when police and firefighters opted to use cellphones in the face of dead zones and spotty radio coverage.

CREST board chair Gordie Logan, a Colwood councillor, said the agency is continually trying to improve service in the downtown core, where tall buildings and deep parking garages can kill the signal.

“When tall buildings go up, it distorts the signal, but you don’t know (the extent) until you do testing,” he said.

“There are ongoing (CREST) infrastructure upgrades in the

downtown core. It won’t ever end.”

Building a transmission site in Esquimalt and securing more frequencies for the system are top priorities for the agency this year. It also plans to upgrade transmission sites to improve reliability in James Bay, Saanich, Oak Bay and the West Shore.

“We are still working with the Victoria police to identify and address specific areas,” Logan said.

Another key task this year is convincing Industry Canada to release more radio frequencies for the system. Now serving 40 emergency agencies in the Capi-tal Region, CREST is reaching its capacity for radio traffic, “has a limited ability to grow” and is justified in requesting five more transmission channels, Planet-works’ report said.

At the same time, the CREST board is starting to look at next generation technology to replace the existing $10.6-million system. Planetworks suggested a new system could be phased in as debt on the cur-rent system is paid out over the next three to five years.

OUR VIEW

Veterans deserve more support

We are troubled by news that Veterans Affairs Canada is downsizing its department, including the district office in Victoria, due to budget cuts.

Unlike the days when much of its work dealt with the post-Second World War struggles and challenges faced by service personnel, Veterans Affairs today is seeing an influx of people whose experience came in such theatres as Bosnia, Rwanda, Afghanistan and various peacekeeping scenarios.

For those engaged in combat roles, their experiences might be similar to those lived through by their military predecessors. Yet the understanding today of the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder and other psychological illnesses is greater than the Second World War, when struggling Canadian servicemen were pigeonholed as having “battle exhaustion.”

In true military fashion, Veteran Affairs insists that none of its clients will be left behind as a result of the cuts to office personnel.

The union representing the workers, voicing a predictable doom-and-gloom response, argues that veterans will begin to fall through the cracks due to projected increases in already too-large caseloads for staff and the added time it will take to process client requests.

As in all labour-employer disputes, the truth probably lies somewhere in between.

But the telling point in this conversation comes from the Royal Canadian Legion, which, for years, has done its best, given its limited resources, to fill the void in veteran support left by the federal government.

They expect the next four or five years to produce more diagnosed cases of post-traumatic stress disorder than ever, a scenario which, if not addressed, could have devastating effects not only on the individuals, but their families.

In a time of belt-tightening, the federal government needs to make cuts.

But no matter how it is sugar-coated by Veterans Affairs, the decision to downsize the department’s front-line operations not only sets a dangerous precedent, it’s a slap in the face to individuals who have willingly and bravely served their country.

A few weeks ago I was walking through my neighbourhood, with my daughter in front of me pedalling her tricycle.

We were on our way home from the park and my daughter was crying. Nothing too serious, she always cries when we leave the park.

Other than a whimper-ing toddler, things were going good until we were followed by three teens, about 16 or 17 years old.

I am not one to be fear-ful of teens or paint them all with the same brush. In fact, I really like rebellious teens and have a soft spot for misunder-stood youth.

But these teens were making fun of me for my weight and say-ing things I wouldn’t want to see in print.

It was two girls and a boy, but it was one of the girls who was doing the talking.

She carried on yelling loudly across the street to me. She made some hand gestures and continued to harass me – even crossing the street to walk behind me and my daughter.

The years I’ve spent in kickboxing and taekwondo would have really come in handy if I reacted how I wanted to (I have a pretty awe-some roundhouse kick, if I do say so myself).

I have never punched someone without my boxing gloves or out-side the ring. I’ve never punched

someone because I was angry. Right then I sure felt close.

I looked down at my daughter, who was still crying, and thought about the message I wanted to send to her. So I kept my hands on the tricycle instead of on the girl’s face.

All kidding aside, I don’t believe in violence, it’s no better than the behaviour of those teens.

So I kept walking, listening to the taunts and contemplating the right way to respond. What should my reaction have been? Should I have followed them home and spoke to their parents?

I was angry and if I were to respond, I would have used some choice words my daughter doesn’t need to learn quite yet.

At one point I stopped to talk to my daughter and the teens walked past me. I looked them right in the eye and watched their faces turn humble.

Maybe that was enough.These teens weren’t wearing

hoods or smoking cigarettes. They were well-groomed and appeared to be straight out of an American Eagle catalogue.

I have written many stories on

bullying and talked about the issue with kids, parents, teachers and police officers. Regardless of all the work people are doing, the problem is still here.

Bullying is nothing new, but that doesn’t make it OK or some kind of rite of passage. There are kids kill-ing themselves over things just like this.

It has been a long time since I have been bullied. Probably since I was in middle school.

I hope those teens look back on that evening a few years from now and realize it’s too late to apologize to the stranger they mocked.

Do they realize the message they were sending to my daughter?

But hey, if you are reading this, it could have been your kid or grand-child. Would you be embarrassed to know a column was published about how disrespectful they were?

The whole situation is rather embarrassing for me, too. Before writing this, I never told anyone about my evening. I was trying to forget it ever happened.

Maybe this is why bullying isn’t reported to school officials or the RCMP. If, at age 30, I am too embar-rassed to talk about it, how can we ever expect a child to?

Which is why I am writing this. I shouldn’t be embarrassed because of someone else’s poor choices.

LETTERSSlow drivers present greatest hazard

Re: Keep pressuring high-risk drivers (Our View, May 18)

The content of your editorial is common and clearly one-sided. While I agree that the police should intervene when drivers are clearly breaking the law, I believe the main issue is drivers who travel in the left lane on a four-lane road at about the same speed as those in the right lane.

There are some signs that state, “Slower traffic keep right.” In my view, “slow” does not necessarily mean someone going below the posted speed limit. Instead, I consider those slow drivers to be the ones

who impede the left-lane traffic because they want to exercise their “right” to be in that lane. These are the self-appointed traffic enforcers.

About 25 years ago when I was living in Alberta, we had the same kind of risky drivers as we see in B.C. today. There were also signs suggesting that slower traffic stay to the right lane, but that was rarely obeyed or enforced.

Then the light came on with the powers that be. They increased the number and visibility of the signs, even highlighted them with bright green rays. It took two to four

years, but the drivers finally got it and it was uncommon to find Albertans playing traffic enforcers in the passing lane.

Travelling on the highways became safer and much more pleasant. It appears that all it took was an attitude adjustment and drivers left it up to the police to enforce the speeders in the left lane. I have little doubt that a similar change in attitude for B.C. drivers would greatly reduce the risky manoeuvres of aggressive drivers. Leave it to the police, people.

Politicians, executivesshould respect austerity

Being long retired, I come from the generation where wages were poor, benefits almost unknown, severance packages for the working person unheard of.

Today’s public servants largely have no experience of those dreadful days.

A recent political cartoon illustrating the “Taxpayer Bank of B.C.” showed B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union members dressed in robber’s garb charging in, while MLAs exited with rich salary and pensions. I also recently read about Oak Bay, where a burst water main was allowed to gush for an entire weekend, as it was cheaper than calling out workers at “double overtime.”

Having been a government employee, private business person and elected municipal councillor for a period of nine years, I am genuinely fearful for the future. No one wants increases in taxation, but how else to meet demands?

I do not advocate a return to those earlier days when workers’ treatment was grossly unfair, so let us start with cuts at the MLAs’ pension trough, executive compensation and bonuses.

Overall, I suspect if effective attention were to be paid to these contentious and unfairly

overgenerous situations, then workers might not be so demanding.

Bluntly, we are very fortunate to live in Canada. Let us not kill the already struggling golden goose through base greed and stupidity.

Site C dam processpasses enviro muster

As the Site C dam project inches toward the intense scrutiny of the environmental assessment process, it’s worth reflecting on the differences between an energy project today and one built in decades past, such as the Bennett Dam.

When the Bennett Dam was built in the 1960s in the Peace River country of northeastern B.C., the construction crew simply showed up with their tools and started working.

Not so today. B.C. Hydro estimates it will spend $300 million on the Site C dam environmental review process,

including scores of studies of animal and fish populations, along with extensive archaeological, historical and other studies.

None of these considerations figured in any significant way when the Bennett Dam was built.

Site C provides us with a rare opportunity to build upon the past in an environmentally sensitive way and to make the most of the water already stored behind the Bennett Dam, by using it to generate clean hydro power a second time on its way downstream.

The persuasive efficiency of Site C, and the unparalleled environmental scrutiny it has already undergone, bode well for the project.

That’s why, once any potential impacts have been addressed or mitigated, I’m cautiously optimistic Site C will pass through the formal assessment process with flying colours.

Letters to the Editor


“The last six to eight months have showed how rewarding it can be to see things through and watch (your efforts) produce.”

Being a leader comes in many forms, Spriggs says.

“You don’t have to take a leadership role to help out,” he says, noting that the grad-related events needed many hands.

“Somebody obviously has to do it, (but) it kind of depends on how much initiative you have. You can still absolutely be involved without having all the pressure.”

Reflecting on their school lives was part of working on their speech, Spriggs says.

“Me and Jessica were joking about how everyone kind of went through the dark middle-school years,” he says.

“So much change has happened. I’m just thinking back to how I was even a couple years ago – it’s hard to explain, it’s such a different feel. Even just this year, being in Grade 12, it really kind of does something to you, you’re right at the top and you’re like

a role model, and that kind of motivated me to get involved in things.”

For Vic High newcomers – or those entering their senior years – looking to make the most of their time at school, both of these young leaders encourage students to try new activities and courses.

For Spriggs it was dance, rugby and theatre – he just finished a five-show run of A Chorus Line, this year’s spring musical – in addition to his heavy academic course load.

Outside of school he’s involved in gymnastics, both as an athlete and a coach, and is on the Victoria Youth Council.

Dillon, who works every day after school, was also in dance and found herself taking an automotive class this year after

buying her first car. “I really enjoyed it,” she says. “I wish I would have taken it earlier.”

Spriggs plans to attend the University of Victoria in the fall for health information technology and computer science. While he envisions one day building a career in another city, for now he’s glad to be staying put.

“I love Victoria. I’m so happy to stay here, and so many of my friends are staying here. To have the solid group I have will really help me next year.”

While she’ll be busy at Camosun College this fall in the social work program, Dillon says she’s going to miss the welcoming, comfortable atmosphere of Vic High.

That scenario contributed to many students transferring there from other schools in the Greater Victoria district, she says. Some of them will be among the 194 students taking part in grad ceremonies next Tuesday at UVic.

Final exams loom after that, but as Dillon says, June will slide by, especially for students saying goodbye to their grade-school days.

Making dining out just a little bit easier

“ British Columbians have made it clear they want information to help them make informed

choices about what they and their families are eating,” says B.C. Minister of Health Michael de Jong. “With Informed Dining, we are partnering with B.C. restaurants to help make the healthy choice the easy choice.”

“We’re not going to see the full impact of the Afghanistan vet-erans for another four or five years,” Sinclair said, adding it takes time for the disorder to manifest itself.

Across Canada, 75 agent posi-tions are being cut. Employees will likely start receiving their surplus notices this fall, said Kim Coles, national executive vice-president of the Union of Veterans Affairs Employees, rep-resenting 2,700 members, plus 500 hospital staff.

The union is already reeling from previously announced plans to terminate 552 jobs from the department over the next three years.

In the wake of the federal bud-get in March, Veterans Affairs now plans to eliminate a total of 804 positions by 2015-16.

“How are they going to main-tain the service to veterans with that? I don’t care how much stuff you say can be done on the com-puter,” Coles said.

“We’re not processing pass-ports here. We’re dealing with people’s lives, people that have

sacrificed for their country. That mandate is all going out the win-dow and it’s all becoming a num-bers game.”

The government’s plans to create efficiencies will actually ramp up delays, she said.

“My gosh, (some older veter-ans) could die before they actu-ally get services they put in for in the first place.”

A spokesperson for Veterans Affairs Canada said the restruc-turing process will not reduce services to veterans. Rather, it will eliminate unnecessary red tape to provide “better and faster” service.

“We will continue to meet or exceed our service standard of one case manager for every 40 case-managed veterans,” the spokesperson said.

The department expects to manage its restructuring through attrition, since approximately 1,000 workers will be eligible for retirement between now and 2016.

But Coles said only about 50 per cent of those people will be willing or able to retire.

The full impact on specific staff positions has not yet been

fleshed out, the department spokesperson said, but “our staff in the Victoria area will con-tinue to play an important role in supporting the department’s work.”

Edward HillNews staff

If the perfect landscape presents itself, painter Christine Reimer isn’t shy about screeching her car to a halt on the side of the highway to capture the moment. Nobody said art was safe.

The veteran Saanich artist, known for blending realism and whimsy in dramatic landscape pieces, is marking 30 years of paint-ing with a show at The Arts Centre at Cedar Hill, starting Sunday.

It’s her first show in Greater Vic-toria since 2010 and features a mix of landscapes and abstract florals, perhaps 25 to 30 pieces gener-ated in the past few years. The landscapes will be familiar to any-one who has travelled across the Island and the province – Rocky mountains and verdant meadows, wilderness lakes amid Douglas fir forests, Gulf Island arbutus trees stretching over water.

“I grew up on the coast, I have a bond with the coastal landscape,” Reimer said. “Being an Islander, it’s in my blood.”

She admits the abstract florals were a deviation from the hunt for landscapes – a kind of creative

rejuvenation necessary every few years.

“I get bored doing the same thing. What I’ve done over 30 years is take detours,” Reimer said. “I had a figurative period of painting quirky people in dream-like settings. I do that for a while, and then landscapes become fresh again.

“I do find it hard to limit myself to one thing – there are so many vibrant colours. I can’t help myself.

I’m obsessed with colour, I always have been.”

Reimer has been an artist since she can remember, drawing at a young age and watching her talent emerge as a teenager. She cred-its art teachers Bill West and Car-ole Sabiston at Oak Bay High and then University of Victoria instruc-tor and influential Canadian artist James Gordaneer as influencing and guiding her style and devel-opment.

Working through different medi-ums while earning her BFA at UVic, it was her great-uncle and noted painter Max Maynard (a contem-porary of Emily Carr and Jack Shadbolt in the 1930s and ‘40s) who steered her toward landscape images. “I was so inspired by the way he did landscapes,” Reimer said. “I thought I would give it a shot.”

It was a good decision. Now a professional working artist for 25 years, Reimer’s work decorates corporate offices, high-end hotels, restaurants, and galleries across B.C. “Between kids and paint-ing, I’ve worked full time,” she said. “And my husband has been extremely supportive.”

Reimer said she’s fortunate to make a living as an artist, but noted her “long-suffering” husband must tolerate intensive photography during trips – she took a thousand photos in Banff and Jasper last fall – and the occasional demand to pull over on the highway, often so she can scramble up a cliff to grab a shot. Her photography is the groundwork for her art.

“My photos allow me to recall the place with better detail. If I use other photos of places I haven’t

been, you can’t evoke the place truly.”

She admits that the last few years have been tough personally and professionally. The economic downturn across North America has squeezed budgets for com-missioned art pieces and private sales. But she still keeps up a work schedule of painting about five days a week, usually in inten-sive three-hour bursts of acrylic on canvas.

“It’s been really tough at times. The last few years. It’s been very difficult for all artists. Art is a lux-ury item for people.”

Her work will be on display for two weeks in June, but Reimer is mulling her next set of work after recently returning from England – the roofscape and old-world archi-tecture of London. “It’s something that’s tweaked my interest until I detour back to landscapes,” she said.

Reimer’s Peaks, Islands and Beyond – 30 years of Colour solo exhibit runs from June 3 to 17 at The Arts Centre at Cedar Hill, 3220 Cedar Hill Rd. The grand opening gala is Thursday, June 7, 5 to 7:30 p.m.

ICBC is updating the way we set premiums for Basic vehicle insurance coverage. You’ve told us the system would be fairer if lower-risk drivers paid less for their insurance and higher-risk drivers paid more. We agree.

Before making any changes to our current system, we’d like your input. We’re considering several options that may impact what you pay for your Basic insurance in the future. Your feedback will go into the final changes that we propose for fairer Basic vehicle insurance pricing.

His voice softens when Victoria poet Jay Ruzesky talks about the time he spent in Antarctica this winter. The trip was the real-ization of a lifelong dream to see the place where Ruzesky’s maternal great-grand-father’s first cousin, Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen, had discovered the south pole in December 1911. Normally never one at a loss for words Ruzesky pauses trying to describe the allure of the place that even in summer is 98 per cent covered in ice.

“It feels immediately like you’ve entered a place unlike any other in the world, the only other place would be like going to space or to the moon because it is so devoid of us and continues to be. There’s no planes flying overhead, no telephone wires, no dis-tant sounds of motors.” And even though travelling on a tourist ship there were still

beaches where you could land and be the first human to do so, he said.

Fifteen years ago Ruzesky wrote but set aside a novel about Amundsen’s south pole adventure. He is best known for his 2001 poetry collection, Blue Himalayan Poppies and novel, The Wolsenburg Clock, which was nominated for the City of Vicoria But-ler Book Prize. On leave now from teach-ing duties at Vancouver Island University he is starting in on another manuscript, a non-fiction account blending his visit with Amundsen’s.

Ruzesky travelled with his brother from Chile to the Antarctic peninsula on a 235-foot refitted research ship that was home for 10 days in December last year, 100 years after Amundsen travelled there. With guides the duo kayaked and watched tens of thou-sands of gentoo and chinstrap penguins as well as leopard and Weddell seals. They saw icebergs calve and learned the difference between bergs and floes.

“It was a pilgrimage in the real old sense of the word,” Ruzesky said, “to this place that had been in my imagination since I was a little kid. It had a mythical status. It was

where heroes came from.” From his first sighting aboard the ship,

Ruzesky said he had the strange sense of being home.

“Yet it was weird to feel at home in a place so inhospitable to human beings.”

About 1,000 scientists live at research sta-tions in Antarctica, which is about 14 million kilometres squared and 28 million in the winter when sea ice doubles the continent’s size. About 25,000 tourists visit each year.

Although Antarctica is usually thought of as blue and white, it really has about 10,000 shades of blue, he said. Constantly changing light alters the colour and texture of what-ever you are gazing at.

When his guide heard Ruzesky was keen to see any spot where Amundsen might have been he took the brothers in a zodiak to see the peaks on Two Hummock Island where Amundsen went skiing more than 100 years ago – “the first tourist,” Ruzesky said.

Picking their way through a colony of pen-guins Ruzesky was at first disappointed at clouds covering the peaks. But then, as he recorded in a blog, the weather shifted.

“It stops snowing and the clouds lift so fast it’s as though someone just removed a tarp from the sky. The clouds simply disap-pear and are replaced by deep blue sky and bright sun.”

He spent the next hour feverishly taking as many shots as he could, before clouds moved in again. Although not a religious man, Ruzesky said that day was a profound experience.

I have kayaked through castellated ice-bergs, I have communed with penguins, I have caressed thousands-year-old ice and allowed the heat of my fingers to melt it. In Antarctica you have to come to terms with immensity.

Victoria poet returns from pilgrimage to family explorer’s landing spot

Antarctica beguiles“I stand by as a freeway of penguins travels to and from the breaking

waves in lane after lane of determination. It’s like being up against the wall at Grand Central Station at rush hour and the flow of birds is fascinating.”

Brothers lead Rams to track and field B.C.sTravis PatersonNews staff

Mount Douglas Rams track team brothers Thomas and Ethan Getty are separated by two years in age, and

1,100 metres on the track. Seventeen-year-old Thomas is in Grade

11 and specializes in middle distance run-ning, his shortest event being the 1,500m. Fifteen-year-old Ethan is in Grade 9, but his focus is on the sprinting distances, the longest being 400m.

“We’re pretty competitive in everything else (non-running) we do,” said Thomas. “Though I guess Ethan would be the bet-ter lacrosse player, since he’s still playing and I no longer do.”

Both have qualified for the high school track and field provincials at Burnaby’s Swanguard Stadium on Saturday and Sun-day (June 1 and 2), having helped the

Mount Doug Rams to second place at the Island championship, behind power-house Oak Bay High.

Thomas finished second in the 1,500m and first in the 3,000m at the Island track championship.

And though Ethan was equally adept in the bantam-age (Grade 9) Island champi-onship, he might want to consider com-peting in a longer race, as on paper, his results improved as each distance grew. Ethan finished fourth in the 100m, second in the 200m and first in the 400m.

Track wasn’t the house sport growing up, say the brothers, but has become it. Ethan plays Saanich Tigers lacrosse, and Thomas did, while younger brother Graeme, 12, competed in running at Arbu-tus middle school (before the season was cancelled).

Dad did some running as a youth, Thomas said, but for the boys running just came naturally.

“Back in elementary we’d lap the school field,” Thomas said. “I did well but didn’t win every race. But I found liked the stra-tegic aspect of the longer distances.”

Ethan, however, prefers to the short courses. “I just seemed to like sprinting.”

There’s no ceiling to what the brothers can accomplish, as both transfer well to dirt paths of cross country during the fall running season. Thomas has a year remaining before competing at the uni-versity level to Ethan’s three, should he go that route.

“Ethan is part of a special group of younger Mount Doug runners coming up,” Rams coach Al Niezen said.

“We’ve got 20 kids going to provincials and half are Grade 9s.”

For Thomas, the biggest challenge this weekend is could come from his elite high school track teammates Liam Kennel of Oak Bay High and Ben Weir of Glenlyon Norfolk School. Weir was injured for the Island finals but finished second behind Thomas in the 1,500m and 3,000m of the Lower Island.

Kennel is only 16, but is a threat at the senior level as part of the Oak Bay track team looking to continue its domi-nation of the combined girls and boys team title. Brendan Restall leads the Bays team, which is deep in talent once again. If all goes well, Restall will win the 400m again before graduating to the UVic Vikes next year,

Mount Doug has its top shooters as well, with Katelyn Hayward a lock to win the 3,000m one more time before she graduates. Hay-ward will most likely forego the 1,500m steeplechase, the very event she set the B.C. record in last year, to nurse a leg injury she sus-tained during the high school cross coun-try season.

In the fieldNo Island school has been able to

match the crew of throwers coming out of Lambrick Park in recent years.

This year Lambrick’s Mason Kereszti is hoping for three medals. The defending B.C. javelin champ was first in the discus and javelin and second in the shotput at the Islands.

Rowers prep for LondonTravis PatersonNews staff

Victoria-trained rowers Scott Frandsen and David Calder are silver medalists once again. The Beijing runners-up in the men’s pair dupli-cated their famous effort from the 2008 Olym-pics and brought home one of three medals earned by Canada from last week’s 2012 World Cup in Switzerland.

“Our training and hard work has proved that you can teach an old dog new tricks,” Calder said.

Picked to compete in one of seven boats at this year’s London Olympics, the duo of Calder and Frandsen lost only to New Zea-land, which was the favourite going in to the world cup.

“We’ve got the count-down to London in our heads right now.”

One of the biggest surprises was Canada’s men’s eight slipping to bronze in Sunday’s final, despite setting the world’s best time in the heat on Friday.

Coxswain Brian Price and rower Malcom Howard of Victoria return to lead the gold-medal winning boat from Beijing, with Ontario rowers Will Crothers, Jeremiah Brown, Andrew Byrnes, Conlin McCabe, Rob Gibson and Doug Csima, plus Gabe Bergen from 100 Mile House.

The lightweight women’s double of Tracy Cameron and Lindsay Jennerich finished sec-ond in the B final, the equivalent to eighth over-all.

Canada’s women’s eight lost gold in a photo finish to U.S.A. Our southern neighbours squeaked out a gold-medal victory over Canada by .03 of a second. The rowers return to Canada this week though the women’s eight will con-tinue to train and compete in Europe.

It’s been 50 years since Claremont sec-ondary school opened its doors to Saanich. And from those doors has emerged a seem-ingly non-stop stream of athletes ranging from city champions to Olympians.

As part of its 50th anniversary on Satur-day (June 2) Claremont is revealing the Wall of Fame in the main hallway and gym. The school is inducting 27 athletes, who played a range of sports from major league pitcher Rich Harden and national team soccer player Wanda Rozwad-owska, to Ironman tri-athlete turned paralym-pic rower Tony Theri-ault and track star Deb-bie Scott. The youngest is diver Riley McCor-mick, 20, who is set for his second Olympics this summer.

Claremont’s also put-ting rugby’s Peter Sim-monds and Ed Kubek in for coaching excel-lence, and Joe Lott and

Gerry Montgomery in the builder category.

The induction cer-emony begins at 5:30 p.m. in the gym, with a formal mention of each athlete. More athletes will be added in the coming years.

It’s all part of an open house for alumni begin-ning at 3 p.m.

The school will be open with a series of designated “era rooms” for alumni to mix with their graduation year.

Cricket league seeks young bloodSaturday studieswith bats and bowlsTravis Paterson News staff

The city’s top cricketers aren’t from here, they moved here. And maybe it will always be that way. But it’s not stop-ping John Wenman and company from the Victoria and District Cricket Associa-tion from believing the Lower Island can once again rise to a competitive level equal or better than the B.C. Mainland Cricket League.

“It was about 20 to 25 year ago that our clubs could rival the Mainland,” Wenman said.

The difference is that many of the bet-ter cricket players have immigrated to B.C., and there are plenty more ex-pat players in the Vancouver area than in Victoria.

Still, Wenman finds it odd the top teams are not better, because Greater Victoria has more cricket teams than ever. Which is where Wenman comes in.

Now 69, the retired teacher from Stel-ly’s secondary learned the game here, where he was born and raised. His for-mer team, the University School Incogs, is celebrating its 100th season this year.

Wenman long ago shifted to recruiting and teaching, and is behind the league’s Saturday morning cricket school at St. Michaels University School. The pro-gram begins on June 2, for kids aged

eight to 14, and runs until the last Satur-day in August. Seminars last two hours and range from cricket introduction for newbies to development for return play-ers. Younger students use softer equip-ment until they’re a little older, or have got the hang of the game.

By 14, some players are ready to join the Colts, a designated youth team play-ing in the less competitive mid-week league.

“Through the summer program we’ve put through quite a few players to the Colts, and have seen players move from the Colts into the more competitive weekend league,” Wenman said.

To register contact Wenman at 250-598-5477, or [email protected].

The Salvation Army is on the hunt for a new location for its Beacon of Hope House.

“We’ve looked at a lot of locations, but nothing has been secured, nothing has been signed yet,” said Kyla Ferns, Salvation Army spokesperson.

The six-bed, 90-day residential recovery facility for male youth opened in 2007 – the first of its kind for the organization in Canada. It provides counselling, life-skills training, addiction education, recreational outings and job-hunt support. Its aim is to break the cycle of homelessness and addiction for youth in the community.

Currently, there are three boys living in the house, though a fourth will be moving in soon, after completing detox. He will replace a recent graduate from the program, housed in the former rectory of St. Saviour’s Anglican Church in Vic West.

The Anglican Diocese of B.C. sold the property, including

chapel, hall and rectory, to a private family in February. The Salvation Army’s lease for the rectory runs out in five months.

The new facility must have six bedrooms and space for two offices.

“We fully anticipate having a new location

and all the proper licensing in time for us to move into it by the end of October,” Ferns said. [email protected]

From father to son: ‘Heirloom’Ford Fairlane stays in the family

It took nearly 50 years, but John Kerluke fi nally got the keys to his dad’s convertible.

His father, Stan Kerluke, was a 27-year-old transplant from a grain farm outside Rhein, Saskatchewan when he spotted the yellow Ford convertible in the showroom of Dominion Vancouver Motors on Seymour Street. He had come to Vancouver in 1954 to drive a fuel oil truck for his brother Mike, and had been driving a 1951 Chevrolet torpedo back two-door sedan purchased at Collier’s Motors on nearby Georgia Street two years before.

But he really wanted a convertible and the 1951 Ford his father had back on the farm was yellow. The yellow 1958 Ford Fairlane 500 Sunliner convertible would be his with the signing of a cheque for $3,000 plus the $1,200 allowance for the Chevy.

“My brother tried to talk me out of buying the car saying: Why do you want a convertible? It rains too much in Vancouver,” he recalls of that day. It was the summer of 1958 and this Sun Gold Ford Sunliner was one special car.

He loved it so much he would seldom drive it.

“In those days, we took the truck home so I would only drive the car on the weekends. In the winter, we worked seven days a week delivering furnace

oil to homes so I wouldn’t use the car at all,” Stan Kerluke says.

BC Oil Distributors was located at Main Street and 30th Avenue in South Vancouver, directly across the street from Clarkdale Volkswagen. Every morning, as Stan Kerluke pulled out with a load of furnace oil, he would wave at a pretty young lady who worked at the dealership with her desk just inside the front window.

Their fi rst date was in the yellow Ford convertible which was then four years old. “I thought, what a cool car,” Patricia Kerluke says. They used the convertible as their wedding car in August 1962 at a church on Renfrew Street in East Vancouver. The reception was held at the Gai Paree supper club on Kingsway in Burnaby. Son John was born one year later and was brought home from the hospital in the Ford Sunliner.

Stan Kerluke hands the keys to his 1958 Ford Fairlane convertible to son John, who was brought home from the hospital in the car.

Join BCAA in Millstream on Wednesday, June 6 for an afternoon workshop exploring the tips and techniques for older drivers.

Living Well, Driving Well will run from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the BCAA Millstream Sales Centre, #169 - 2401C Millstream Rd. Led by workshop facilitator Peter Gray, participants will look at some of the issues facing drivers as they age, and some of the many ways they can keep driving well for years to come.

While everyone ages differently, there are common issues most older drivers face

at some time, such as vision or mobility changes, he says.

In addition, Gray also reviews changes in the rules and regulations with regards to driving and driver testing, such as the cognitive testing that accompanies the current driver test.

Signifi cant improvements have also come to today’s vehicles, and workshop participants will explore some of these newer features and how they work.

For more information about the coming workshop,call 250-391-3250.

While Pat Kerluke drove a VW beetle, Stan bought a series of new cars so the convertible could remain garaged at their home on Prince Edward Street and 55th Avenue. The family briefl y owned a new 1976 Ford Pinto. But safety concerns and a growing family with two sons and a daughter necessitated a larger car, which was a new red 1975 Ford LTD station wagon with all the options. The station wagon has travelled just 55,000 miles and is currently stored away in the garage at the family home in Langley.

The 1958 Ford Sunliner has just 86,500 kilometers (53,764 miles) traveling less than 1,600 kilometers (1,000 miles) a year. Like new, it has the original upholstery and even the original convertible top. “I didn’t put the top down very much and the car has always been stored indoors,” Stan says.

He’s always known his son John was a car guy just like him. “John has loved cars all his life,” Stan says. “From a little boy, he loved to ride in the convertible.”

As the family opened presents together last Christmas, there was something special for John. Pat Kerluke had a T-shirt made

with a photograph of the 1958 Ford which was one present for her son. The opening of another present revealed the owner’s manual for the 1958 Ford convertible. The fi nal present was the keys to his father’s yellow Ford convertible along with registration and transfer papers.

“It’s really all I think about now,” John Kerluke says with emotion. “I am really the envy of all my car friends because they knew some day I would get this wonderful car.”

John, who followed in his father’s footsteps to become a long-distance trucker, has owned other collector cars, including a vintage 1970 Mustang Mach 1. But his father’s convertible is the ultimate keeper. “I will never sell this car. It’s a timepiece and an heirloom and there is no amount of money that someone could pay me for this.”

He plans to take the yellow convertible to car shows this year with great pride. “No one has really seen this car,” he says. “It’s always been stored away in the garage.”
