A Victoria author has received the prestigious 2014 Pierre Berton Award, recognizing his contribution to raising awareness about Cana-dian History.

Mark Zuehlke was at Rideau Hall in Ottawa Monday to receive the Governor General’s History Award for Popular Media. Presented by Gov. Gen. David Johnston, the award celebrates those who have brought Canadian history to a wider audience.

The award comes as Zuehlke launches the 11th title in his acclaimed Canadian Battle Series of books last week, Forgotten Victory: First Canadian Army and the Cruel Winter of 1944-45, the untold story of how the Canadian Army paved the way for an Allied victory in Europe in the Second World War through an attack against the Rhineland.

To receive the award bearing Ber-ton’s name and for the body of his contribution, as opposed to a single title, is particularly rewarding.

“I personally think Pierre Berton was a person who truly made it

legitimate to write popular history in Canada,” Zuehlke says.

Harbour Publishing describes the bestselling Canadian Battle Series as “the most detailed account of any army during World War II ever writ-ten by a single author. The series continues to confirm Zuehlke’s rep-utation as one of the nation’s lead-ing popular military historians.”

“To me, the whole idea is to take these stories and put them in the hands of the people and be

Witnesses sought in James Bay shooting

The Independent Investiga-tions Office of BC is in Victo-ria investigating a fatal officer-involved shooting Saturday.

At approximately 11 a.m. on Saturday morning, Victoria police responded to a 911 call at a residence on the 200-block of Dallas Road. Upon arrival, they were confronted by a man who was shot by police. The man died from his injuries.

The Victoria Police Depart-ment called in the Independent Investigations Office, based in Surrey, to investigate the inci-dent.

“All police forces are required to notify the IIO when there’s an incident that results in death or serious harm,” said Kellie Kilpat-rick, executive director of public accountability at the IIO.

The IIO’s director on call and a team of about 10 deployed to Victoria on Saturday afternoon. The team consisted of investiga-tors, a team commander and a

The Royal Canadian Legion’s Poppy Cam-paign started Friday, but the demand for poppies came much earlier than normal this year.

The early interest was a result of the shooting in Ottawa and the hit-and-run in Quebec, said Inga Kruse, executive director of the Royal Canadian Legion BC/Yukon.

“Usually people are happy to wait for the campaign to start,” said Kruse.

Although the demand for poppies started before the campaign’s official launch, Kruse said the Legion was not been able to raise money through the sales until Friday.

“By our own bylaws, we aren’t permitted to accept donations until the campaign formally starts.”

However, she is sure people who picked up their poppies early will return to donate.

“People are so good that way,” said Kruse. “It’s about commemora-tion, it’s about remem-brance. We just want everyone to be wearing one.”

In order for bylaws

informed by them,” Zuehlke says.

When Zuehlke wrote the first book in what would become the Canadian Battle Series, Ortona, he had no idea of the series to come. Sparked by a group of veterans speaking about their experiences at the long-ago battle, it was one Zuehlke him-self hadn’t heard of. “I thought it was going to be a one-off but it turned out it did quite well,” he says.

Several more titles about the Italian campaign followed, along with books about Juno, Dieppe and other campaigns deserving recognition. His fifth title in the series, Holding Juno, captured the 2006 City of Victoria Butler Book Prize.

“From there I started look-ing at campaigns that I thought hadn’t been given their due,” Zuehlke says. While he had no finite end to the series in mind, he anticipates 14 or 15 books in all.

Why are these stories impor-tant?

“I think it’s important because when you look at the generation that went through World War II...when they came

back, everything they did for the rest of their lives was indelibly pushed forward by these experi-ences,” Zuehlke says, pointing to the creation of the welfare state as an exam-ple. “They had depended on each other for their lives and that kind of bond was an unbreakable one.” Upon their return, that desire to take care of each other continued.

“And of course, it affected all of us because we are all descended from that genera-tion.”

At the same time, because so many of that generation did not speak about their experiences, it’s the role of historians and authors like Zuehlke to share them with those who came after.

The response to the series has been very positive, Zuehlke says. Initially coming from the expected veterans and history community, “readership has

shifted,” he notes. Readers are now 40 to 45 per cent female, many in the 35 to 65-year-old group; the male readers fall in a similar demo-graphic. These are people who are interested in their family stories, and learning about the generations that came before, reflec-

tive perhaps of a sim-ilar upsurge in interest Zuehlke sees in Remembrance Day gen-erally.

“I’m very heartened when I go to the cenotaphs on Novem-ber 11 and see all these families there with their kids; you didn’t see that 15 years ago,” he says. “I think people started thinking about remembrance more.”

such as this to be changed, Kruse said it has to be brought for-ward at a national con-vention, the next one being in June 2016.

“But I don’t think that we will see a branch

come forward with that,” said Kruse, add-ing the poppy campaign takes immense amounts of work and organiza-tion.

Besides donating with cash to the Legion,

people can also text to donate to the Poppy Campaign by texting “poppy” to 20222 from a cell phone to donate $5.

Shooting

Police and members of the Independent Investigations Office were on the scene of a police-involved shooting in James Bay Sunday.

Contnued from front

forensic specialist. Two additional investigators came to Victoria Sunday, including the manager for services for affected people, who helps the family of the deceased understand the process of the coroner and the IIO, Kilpatrick said.

The IIO interviewed police officers directly involved in the incident and witness police offi-cers on Saturday.

Throughout this week they will continue canvas-ing the neighbourhood looking for witnesses and any helpful information regarding the case.

On Monday, forensic specialists were in the house where the shooting occurred, gathering information.

When the investigation is completed, the IIO’s chief civilian director will review the evidence and make a decision.

“Either an officer may have committed an offence, and in that case it would go to Crown Council, [or] if the [chief civilian director] deter-mines an officer did not commit an offence, then he will release a public report,” said Kilpatrick.

The report would discuss all the evidence, find-ings and his rationale for the decision.

As to when such a decision could take place, Kilpatrick said it is hard to say yet.

“We’ve had some cases that have taken over a year, and we have had some that have been con-cluded in four or five months.”

The IIO is currently looking for witnesses, and anyone who saw or heard anything on Saturday morning is asked to call 778-988-1041.

2009 WINNER

OUR VIEW

VICTORIA – The climate debate, which all left-thinking people insist is over, has erupted in the B.C. legislature over our nascent liquefied natural gas industry.

Chilliwack-Hope B.C. Liberal MLA Laurie Throness heated things up by announcing that he’s “agnostic” on the subject of human-caused global warming. The religious terminology is intentional, he said, because this is how climate change is currently discussed – deniers, believers and so on.

Throness mentioned the inflated elephant in the room, 18 years with little or no average global surface temperature rise, even as greenhouse gas emissions keep rising around the world.

Needless to say, Green Party MLA and climate scientist Andrew Weaver was aghast at this heresy. And NDP MLAs lined up behind former Sierra Club high priest George Heyman to ridicule Throness, inadvertently proving his point about their rather nasty religious zeal.

I’m also skeptical on global warming, as regular readers will know, and so are many voting adults in Canada and elsewhere. And I agree with Throness’ main point that B.C. shouldn’t sacrifice its energy economy while the jury is still out.

Most politicians who presume

to decide the fate of this vital and threatened industry have at

best visited a well or plant site, and media information about the industry is often from questionable protesters. So today I’d like to provide some background on the natural gas industry, as someone who grew up with it and worked in it in northeastern B.C.

Natural gas is mostly methane, the main ingredient in farts. It is many times more potent

than carbon dioxide as a heat-trapping gas in the atmosphere, which is one reason it is often flared rather than vented if it isn’t captured for use as fuel.

Raw natural gas may contain carbon dioxide, a key plant food and component of exhaled breath that has been rebranded as pollution. Gas from the Horn River Basin, one of B.C.’s largest deep shale formations, contains 10 per cent or more CO2, more than conventional gas.

B.C.’s most lucrative gas field is the Montney shale around Fort St. John, which contains nearly CO2-free gas as well as light petroleum liquids.

(This is similar to the Bakken shale in North Dakota, where American roughnecks continue to burn off vast amounts of gas to get at the more valuable light liquids. Oddly, President Barack Obama and

former Canadian singer Neil Young don’t notice this.)

Weaver and the NDP are correct in their main objection, which is that the B.C. government’s new limits on CO2 from LNG production are a sham. As much as 70 per cent of the total greenhouse gas emissions from the gas industry occur before the LNG stage, which is the only thing the new rules regulate.

CO2 that comes up with gas is extracted and vented. A government-subsidized pilot project to capture and store CO2 at Spectra Energy’s operations at Fort Nelson seems to be going nowhere. Restricting LNG-related emissions is mostly a cosmetic gesture.

Environment Minister Mary Polak correctly notes that gas producers pay carbon tax. Yes, but only on the fuel they use, not “process emissions” such as flaring. Big LNG proponents plan to burn more gas to compress and cool LNG, and their greenhouse gas emissions beyond a certain limit will force them to buy carbon offsets or pay into a technology fund.

If LNG investment isn’t scared away by protests and piled-on taxes, it surely means B.C.’s greenhouse gas reduction targets are history. The question now is how much that actually matters.

Hot gases spew from legislature

‘The climate debate, which all left-thinking people insist is over, has erupted in the B.C. legislature.’

Last week, municipal candidates from Victoria, Saanich and Oak Bay descended upon the University of Victoria for a meet-and-greet with students.

The informal, inter-generational mingling provided students an opportunity to query council-hopefuls, mayors and their challengers on what sort of things they actually do.

Bylaws, property taxes and land development aren’t usually at the top of the conversational list for undergrads, but students turned out in droves to talk mostly transit and affordability.

Knowing that the youth turnout is generally abysmal in elections at all levels of government, it’s encouraging to see so much interest.

In the 2011 Victoria municipal election, only 26 per cent of eligible voters voted. This adds up to over 17,000 voters in all of the City of Victoria.

It’s clear we’ve still got some work to do, but engaging youth to vote is the place to start.

Calls for lowering the legal voting age to 16 is an idea gaining traction because teachers can implement election education into students’ coursework and instill a lifelong understanding and respect for the ballot box.

Parents can also do their part by making voting a priority at home from an early age. Talk to children about the election, the process, and why voting is important.

Like so many milestones in children’s lives, seeing parents, grandparents and other family members exercising their right to vote is another “teachable moment” we can take advantage of to instill that passion for and commitment to community.

Mayoral and council candidates have their work cut out for them if they want to get the attention of youth and snag their votes.

With only a small portion of residents voting in municipal elections at all, perhaps the entire city needs an extra push this year.

On Nov. 15, remember to go vote, Victoria!

OUR VIEW

VICTORIA – The climate debate, which all left-thinking people insist is over, has erupted in the B.C. legislature over our nascent liquefied natural gas industry.

Chilliwack-Hope B.C. Liberal MLA Laurie Throness heated things up by announcing that he’s “agnostic” on the subject of human-caused global warming. The religious terminology is intentional, he said, because this is how climate change is currently discussed – deniers, believers and so on.

Throness mentioned the inflated elephant in the room, 18 years with little or no average global surface temperature rise, even as greenhouse gas emissions keep rising around the world.

Needless to say, Green Party MLA and climate scientist Andrew Weaver was aghast at this heresy. And NDP MLAs lined up behind former Sierra Club high priest George Heyman to ridicule Throness, inadvertently proving his point about their rather nasty religious zeal.

I’m also skeptical on global warming, as regular readers will know, and so are many voting adults in Canada and elsewhere. And I agree with Throness’ main point that B.C. shouldn’t sacrifice its energy economy while the jury is still out.

Most politicians who presume

to decide the fate of this vital and threatened industry have at

best visited a well or plant site, and media information about the industry is often from questionable protesters. So today I’d like to provide some background on the natural gas industry, as someone who grew up with it and worked in it in northeastern B.C.

Natural gas is mostly methane, the main ingredient in farts. It is many times more potent

than carbon dioxide as a heat-trapping gas in the atmosphere, which is one reason it is often flared rather than vented if it isn’t captured for use as fuel.

Raw natural gas may contain carbon dioxide, a key plant food and component of exhaled breath that has been rebranded as pollution. Gas from the Horn River Basin, one of B.C.’s largest deep shale formations, contains 10 per cent or more CO2, more than conventional gas.

B.C.’s most lucrative gas field is the Montney shale around Fort St. John, which contains nearly CO2-free gas as well as light petroleum liquids.

(This is similar to the Bakken shale in North Dakota, where American roughnecks continue to burn off vast amounts of gas to get at the more valuable light liquids. Oddly, President Barack Obama and

former Canadian singer Neil Young don’t notice this.)

Weaver and the NDP are correct in their main objection, which is that the B.C. government’s new limits on CO2 from LNG production are a sham. As much as 70 per cent of the total greenhouse gas emissions from the gas industry occur before the LNG stage, which is the only thing the new rules regulate.

CO2 that comes up with gas is extracted and vented. A government-subsidized pilot project to capture and store CO2 at Spectra Energy’s operations at Fort Nelson seems to be going nowhere. Restricting LNG-related emissions is mostly a cosmetic gesture.

Environment Minister Mary Polak correctly notes that gas producers pay carbon tax. Yes, but only on the fuel they use, not “process emissions” such as flaring. Big LNG proponents plan to burn more gas to compress and cool LNG, and their greenhouse gas emissions beyond a certain limit will force them to buy carbon offsets or pay into a technology fund.

When I first came to Victoria, I noticed the many Residential Park-ing Zone signs through-out the city, but didn’t pay them much atten-tion, having a B.C. license plate, and being a resident.

For many years, we lived up the street from a house of worship whose worshippers, on certain days of the week and year, filled our street with parked cars for many hours at a time, without being issued so much as a warning or a ticket.

So I was very sur-prised to hear from my former neighbours that the “Parking Police” have suddenly been out in force, issuing warnings and tickets to residents and home owners who happened to park their vehicles on the street in front of their homes.

Apparently, to park on the street, Victoria residents now have to register their vehicles’ license plates with the City of Victoria, to avoid further fines. I take this to mean if you have visitors -- even friends and family, a party, or even people doing work on your house -- all of these plates must be registered ahead of time.

I can’t imagine what will happen if someone with out-of-province or out-of-country plates parks on the street in

Victoria.With Municipal Elec-

tions near, and so much of this area’s revenue dependant on tourism, I can only conclude the city must really be des-perate to fill its coffers where it can, because angering and gouging residents and tourists alike is never a good thing. So desperate that Mayor Fortin and the City Council will

jeopardize their own re-elections in favour of replacing money which has, among other things, gone down the big drain of the new and unnecessary John-son Street Bridge.

I hope the appropri-ate City employee will respond to this prob-lem.

Parking policies challenge residents and visitors


Barb has served as the Mayor of Esquimalt with enthusiasm for the past six years.

Prior to this position, Barb served one term as councillor in Esquimalt. Further, she has been a CRD representative for six years, a member of the BC Transit Commission for three years, and the vice chair of the Greater Victo-ria Labour Relations Asso-ciation for three years.

Barb has also served as a director of the Greater Victoria Harbour Author-ity for six years (positions held include interim chair, vice chair and secretary).

Barb is 58 years old, a physiotherapist, business-woman and mother of two grown children. She is pas-sionate about health of people and communities, and for ensuring people have a voice and power in decisions that affect their community.

Why should I vote for you?As mayor for two

terms, I bring experience, an understanding of the issues and a proven strong voice for Esquimalt. We have been faced with sig-nificant challenges, but we have worked together and we have succeeded as a community. Our successes include being clear on say-ing “no” to the proposed Viewfield Road site for a CRD biosolids facility and being clear that the CRD’s proposal for McLoughlin Point was not acceptable to residents.

Your main goal if elected?Together, we have devel-

oped a strategy for our community to move for-ward. I have participated at all levels of this and am clear on what Esquimalt wants going forward. I am committed to leading the process to provide what citizens have clearly stated

as priorities: a vibrant downtown and Esquimalt main street, development of the Village Project, con-tinued cultural events across the spectrum and good fiscal management.

I continue to be commit-ted to working together for resolution of the regional sewage issue and following up on your response on the amalgamation referen-dum questions. Together we build a better Esqui-malt!

Barbara Desjardins

John DuckerJohn has lived in Esqui-

malt for more than 40 years, and retired from the Victo-ria Police Department last year as a deputy chief after 34 years of service. Under his leadership, VicPD strengthened community relations and partnerships to end homelessness. He is a board member of Our Place Society and current president of the Esquimalt Photography Club. John and his wife have two adult daughters.

Why should I vote for you?Esquimalt has been my

home for more than 40 years, and I love this town. I put my name forward as mayor because many people came to me and expressed concern about another acclamation, like we had in 2011. My lead-ership experience and the ability to oversee large bud-gets and manage change give me a good skill set to handle the job. I believe I can offer the leadership Esquimalt deserves with a healthy team approach to problem solving and run-ning the municipality.

Over the last few months, I’ve knocked on hundreds of doors in our commu-nity, and citizens have told

me that it is time for a new approach focused on solu-tions and progress instead of fighting all the time. I agree.

Now is the time to get our town moving again, and grow Esquimalt into a thriv-ing family-friendly commu-nity with new opportuni-ties to live, work and play. I am committed to achiev-ing results and moving us forward with pride and purpose by offering strong leadership and a steady hand.

Your main goal if elected?I want to revitalize the

community, clean up the downtown and get the stalled Esquimalt Village project back on track. We need new amenities like a water park for our children and an Esquimalt Farmers Market. And more commu-nity events and celebra-tions of our nautical and First Nations heritage.

By encouraging appro-priate people-friendly and environmentally sensi-tive developments, we can transform our downtown into a fantastic gathering place. I want to encour-age construction of afford-able homes for families and modernize our warehouse

district so Esquimalt can benefit from new jobs, new tax revenue and new resi-dents.

On wastewater treat-ment, I want the best deal for taxpayers, and will work to achieve the best technol-ogy and lowest-cost solu-tion. We need action to alleviate traffic snarls on Admirals Road and Craig-flower, and better bus ser-vice between Esquimalt and the West Shore. Let’s strengthen our community and support our workers to deliver quality, respon-sive service to citizens. We can encourage innova-tion, energy efficiency and resource recovery in all new construction. And we can replace “no” with “yes” when citizens want to improve their properties.

David is 71 years old, and since his first impris-onment at 14, says he has seen the Crown as the mon-strous fraud that it is.

Through the many chap-ters of his life, he has run many businesses, but is most known for his work as the Garbage Guru junk hauler. He played a pivotal role in the Appeals Court of B.C. ruling that recog-nized the right to sleep and subsequently lead to the half-justice of sleeping being made legal, implicitly, in public during the day in Victoria.

The people who love him love him a lot. Those who have condescending senti-ment toward him are gener-ally trying to maintain a lie.

Why should I vote for you?As it stands, the current

municipal regimes have been deteriorating in con-ventionalism, having more concern with their careers

than breaking free from the controls that have us locked in and slaving. Responsible government does not push itself into debt, at all costs.

I know how to delegate and ask questions. I will not be afraid of losing my job as I will not be signing the “Oath of Office” (because the Crown is a monstrous fraud). Accepting that my term will not be longer than 45 days, I can scrutinize the entire process without bias.

Your main goal if elected?To give the people the

hope that there is a way out of this slaving hell we’ve all been caught in. The days of retirements and vacations are coming to a close. If businesses cannot adhere to the required austerity, they will collapse. City hall will become a hub of sur-vival expertise that recog-nizes community as the only thing that will see the people into the hard, hard

future, with a 24/7 meet and greet space that will look remarkably like a tent city. Every bylaw will be scru-tinized for constitutional compliance and discov-eries will be made public. Police will have manda-tory sensitivity training with focus on recognizing conscientious behaviour and if the cop culture does not toe the line, they will be replaced by a volunteer force.

Esquimalt Votes: Election 2014

Scott, 51 years of age and the owner of Floyd’s Hairstyling for Men, has been located in Esquimalt for over 20 years and cur-rently works over 65 hours a week. Many of his clients call him Floyd, and as they are comfortable with that, so it is. Floyd, otherwise known as Scott Attrill, grad-uated from Esquimalt High School in 1981, ran three marathons and has always been self-employed. Scott is married with two children and has a variety of inter-ests that include playing golf and guitar.

Why should I vote for you?My vision includes

removing antiquated build-ing height restrictions, so we can share the view of our coastlines with future residents.

This action alone would increase our tax revenues that will help reduce pov-erty taxes and increase funding for community projects and services.

Another goal is to make the building permit process efficient and quick; never again will an organization like the Legion have to wait 11 years for a building permit. Also to encourage

homeowners to build sec-ondary suites and cottage homes.

I want a binding referen-dum on the Admirals Road Corridor Project, which is going to reduce lanes on Admirals Road from Esquimalt Road to Colville Road, reducing access for both the commuters and emergency response. Also, a binding referendum on the proposed septic treat-ment plant Barb Desjardins wants to build next to city hall, underground, under a 12-storey building in an earthquake-prone region with residential, commer-cial and a very large day-care next door.

Your main goal if elected?My vision of success is

complex, and begins with strategically placed high-rise developments, remov-ing old antiquated homes.These high-rise develop-ments will be 24 floors high with commercial on the ground floor that will house all forms of business. There will be a very large green space for residents to enjoy.

Second, is to empower the homeowners of Esqui-malt to build secondary

suites and cottage homes, to rent to increase their rev-enues and provide homes for individuals they see fit to rent to. This means that our building permit office must be improved to allow the homeowners to enjoy their properties.

Third is to sell these high-rise condos to mili-tary members, shipyard employees and retirees from across Canada. These developments will have several net effects: remov-ing troubled housing issues; reducing traffic; increasing revenue streams for home-owners; decreasing prop-erty taxes for homeowners; and increasing business and job opportunities for our youth.

Beth has a long history of involvement in Esquimalt, having lived here with her husband and two sons for 24 years. She is both con-templative and action-ori-ented, a combination that is needed at the council table. She truly listens and edu-cates herself on the issues before making any deci-sions.

Why should I vote for you?I have a strong track record of grassroots success. I

am the founding president of the Esquimalt Residents Association, and one of the founding directors of the Sewage Treatment Action Group. I am passionate, prag-matic, collaborative, an excellent communicator, and I do the hard work necessary to get things done.

Your main goal if elected?To bring my depth of knowledge on the sewage file to

moving the sewage treatment plant forward as munici-palities look to a sub-regional partnering option. We have a deadline. This is a very complex issue, and I have the knowledge and experience necessary to be a very effective part of the decision-making process going forward.

Meagan, 45, has been involved in Esquimalt for more than two decades and owns and operates a licensed group child care facil-ity in the community with her husband. Her proudest accomplish-ments on council are the Youth Engagement Policy, which allows young people to sit as full members on a num-ber of council committees.

Why should I vote for you?I am approachable and listen. I have strong community

spirit. During the past two terms, my council decisions were always made in a thoughtful, mature, transparent and trust-worthy manner; I worked with my colleagues, promoting collaboration, both within council and with the residents and businesses in our exceptional com-munity.

Your main goal if elected?To develop a property tax reduction plan for proper-

ties that complete work that improves the streetscape of the business district, while being mindful to support our infrastructure. A zero per cent increase every year is not feasible if we want to accomplish our goals and maintain our services.

Meagan Brame Beth Burton-KrahnLynda is married, a

mother of two adult chil-dren and grandmother of one. Currently an Esquimalt councillor, she has served 12 years. Lynda retired from a professional pharmacy career, served six years on Esquiamlt’s Parks and Rec-reation Commission, and spent many years at all levels of Parent Advisory Councils, including VCPAC.

Why should I vote for you?Together with my professional and family life experi-

ences, I bring 12 years of local and regional knowledge, service and commitment as an elected Esquimalt coun-cillor, to the next four-year term. People say I have done an excellent job. I promise to continue the same good work.

Your main goal if elected?I will work respectfully and cooperatively with council

to maintain fiscal accountability and advocate public involvement. Esquimalt’s Economic Development Strat-egy with its many initiatives, like energizing the down-town area, promoting heritage, arts and culture; and the best wastewater treatment plan from the many complex options available, excluding McLoughlin Point.

Rodney is 70 years old, and is a retired certified protec-tion officer instructor, mar-ried 46 years with two daugh-ters and three grandchildren, all living in Esquimalt.

Why should I vote for you?I was six years on the plan-

ning committee and the advi-sory planning commission. I drafted preliminary legis-lation to legalize secondary suites.

I pushed to have the elevator installed in the recreation centre. Voters that cast a ballot for me will get an honest and open government.

I realize I will be only one voice, but I will be a loud voice if I feel it is needed. I will not be intimidated by senior staff.

Your main goal if elected?My main goal is to bring back basic municipal gov-

ernment, where the council makes more decisions with advice from staff.

I would like to hear taxpayers saying city employees were helpful, rather than what I’m hearing on the door steps.

Rodney LavergneOlga, 27, graduated from

the University of Victoria with a political science and women’s studies degree. She is a board member on the Environmental Advi-sory Committee, Esqui-malt Residents Associa-tion and the Esquimalt Neighbourhood House Society. She is also the co-founding president of the Esquimalt Community Gar-dens Society.

For the past two years, she has worked in the Esqui-malt-Juan de Fuca constituency office assisting constitu-ents with federal matters.

Why should I vote for you?Esquimalt is my home. I plan to raise my family here,

so I have a keen interest in keeping our community pros-perous, inviting and safe. I care about our community, and I will bring that dedication to Esquimalt council.

Your main goal if elected?I believe that thriving businesses, environmental

integrity and economic sustainability are necessary to make our community attractive to new developments and residents. If elected, my promise is to work with community groups, businesses, developers, individuals and families to make our community the best place to live, work and play.

From 2003-2013, Susan was self-employed as the founder/CEO of Directis Consulting Group Ltd. She worked with small businesses, non-profits and government departments to do strategic planning and process improvement. Susan was born and raised in Vic-toria, lived in Calgary and Vancouver from 2000-2008, and came to her new forever home in Esquimalt in 2009 with her husband and seven-year-old son.

Why should I vote for you?I’ve got a track record of getting things done for the com-

munity. Last year I mobilized support to increase business license fees for payday loans stores, which Esquimalt did in December 2013. The revenue raised is going towards a free financial counselling service for people who live and work in Esquimalt. My skills will help me manage the township’s budget well, and improve the quality of life for Esquimalt residents.

Main goal if elected?My goal is to boost community economic development,

so that Esquimalt sees new residents and businesses set-ting up shop here. My mission is to see every Esquimalt resident be included in civic decisions and community life, especially those living on low incomes, living with disabili-ties, or those who have felt excluded in the past.

The BC Electoral Boundaries Commission is coming to town and wants to hear from you.The commission is reviewing provincial electoral districts and making proposals to the Legislative Assembly on the area, boundaries and names of electoral districts to be used for the next two provincial general elections. Your views will help inform a Preliminary Report to the Legislative Assembly in the spring of 2015.

JOIN a public hearing:

Bob moved to Esquimalt in 1966 with the Canadian Armed Forces. He was elected to Esquimalt council in 2011 and is a mem-ber of Capital Region Emer-gency Services and Telecom-munications and the chairman of Buc-caneer Days. He was a member of the Esquimalt Centennial Committee, and is a member of the Highland Games.

Why should I vote for you?I am committed to making the com-

munity of Esquimalt a healthy, friendly, safe and vibrant community for fami-lies and businesses. I am a community leader who listens to the residents. As a councillor for the past three years, I have valuable assets to move onward with Esquimalt’s current issues.

Your main goal if elected?The issues I would like to see moving

forward are: the Esquimalt Village Plan coming to fruition; a sewage treatment plant solution; implementing the Esqui-malt Economic Development Strategy by encouraging new development and increasing our population. Also, the con-tinued updating of our infrastructure.

Bob McKieTim is serv-

ing his first term on council. His committee work includes: Advi-sory Planning C o m m i s s i o n , Parks and Rec-reation, environ-ment, Bucca-neer Days and Harbour Society Board. Tim works as a communications manager for the BC Assessment Authority. He is past chair of the Esquimalt Residents Association and previ-ously served as a school trustee.

Why should I vote for you?Together, we stood up to the CRD and

stopped the CRD from dumping the entire region’s sewage treatment upon Esquimalt. I want to maintain that highly successful grass-roots public engagement as we continue to move forward towards our community’s future. I offer experience, proven leadership and commitment to Esquimalt.

Your main goal if elected?Economic revitalization and attracting new

quality businesses to Esquimalt Road. I envi-sion more community events, enhanced parks and recreation, support for our burgeoning arts and culture and a vibrant lifestyle for residents and visitors. Over the next term, we want to make Esquimalt the place to be.

Tim MorrisonB r e n d a

has lived and worked in Esqui-malt since enroll-ing at Esquimalt High in 1988. She operated a suc-cessful tax busi-ness on Esqui-malt Road and is currently the PAC treasurer for Rockheights Middle School, an active member of the Esquimalt High alumni and a volunteer for the Chamber of Commerce.

Brenda is proud and excited to be part of Esquimalt’s future.

Why should I vote for you?I believe my financial and business back-

ground combined with my genuine inter-est in people will make me a valuable addi-tion to Esquimalt council. As a former busi-ness owner, I understand how to encourage growth while continuing to maintain our unique community feel.

Your main goal if elected?My main goal if elected is to engage the

Esquimalt community. I will continue to live, work and play in Esquimalt, attending events and remaining open and accessible to the public.

I will promote open forums to gather pub-lic input and look forward to growing with this wonderful community.

Brenda O’ConnorMark has vol-

unteered his lead-ership skills and achieved many improvements for Esquimalt and has been an adviser to mayor and council for the past eight years. If elected to council, his proven skills at bringing people together and developing consensus will ensure that future councils can move Esquimalt forward.

Why should I vote for you?I believe the residents of Esquimalt need

a councillor that has proven leadership in Esquimalt and the CRD. Too much time has been wasted discussing an economic development plan in the past 14 years. I want to inspire our town and council to develop a thriving village core and afford-able services and amenities in Esquimalt.

Your main goal if elected?My main goal once elected is to work

on implementing the recently completed Economic Development Plan and work with Esquimalt Chamber of Commerce members to create an Esquimalt Road that reflects the true beauty of Esquimalt. We are not providing visitors with an appeal-ing reason to stop and shop or dine in our town.

David brings a rich mixture of experience to the citizens of Esquimalt. He served on the boards of a conservation authority, hospital and theatre, plus three terms as councillor. David was the Esquimalt representative to the GVPL and GVHA. David has the experience to make informed deci-sions that benefit Esquimalt’s citizens.

Why should I vote for you?I bring to the council table the experience from

three terms as a municipal councillor. My view of municipal governance focuses on the cost to the taxpayer for any project that may be considered for the township and to ensure the taxpayers receive the best value for their tax dollars spent.

Your main goal if elected?My goal remains the same as in the past term – to ensure that the taxpay-

ers receive the best possible service from their municipality delivered in an economical and sustainable way with respect to the environment and to con-tinue to work on a long-term vision for the community that will service the citizens of Esquimalt well into the future.

Josh, 35, is a loving, devoted family man who works hard as a strong advocate for liberty, pros-perity and community. Josh was born and raised on south Vancouver Island, and has raised his family in Esquimalt for the past 14 years. Josh is a steadfast contributor to values-based leadership with an unshakable moral compass founded in protecting the rights of the individual.

Why should I vote for you?I am not a professional politician; I am an aver-

age working man. Politics should be representa-tive across the board, and we have enough law-yers, lobbyists and consultants running the show. We need people who are bakers (like me) and barbers included on council. Vote for the underdog.

Your main goal if elected?Save taxpayers some money, as I can hardly afford to save for my own

retirement and kids’ education. We can do that by implementing a wage cap on high salaries of middle and upper management. We need lower taxes to encourage prosperity shared by all people of the community.

The end of daylight savings time brings shorter days and decreased visibility for drivers and pedestrians.

With that, ICBC has created a new pedestrian safety campaign. Community police volunteers will be handing out reflectors and road safety tips to passersby at bus stops and various locations.

“Every year in November on Vancouver Island, 64 per cent of crashes involving pedestrians occur in intersections,” said Col-

leen Woodger, ICBC road safety coordinator.

Part of the campaign is edu-cating pedestrians on the impor-tance of being visible to drivers in the dark.

“We actually want people to stop and think about their behav-iour when they’re out walking,” said Woodger.

Victoria Police Department Sgt. Ron Cronk said 70 per cent more pedestrians are injured in crashes from November to January com-pared to June to August.

“It’s getting darker, and they’re simply not being seen.” said

Cronk. “Never assume the driver’s seen

you. You can’t always assume they’re going to stop at stop signs and traffic signals.”

Another part of the campaign is giving tips to drivers for keeping an eye out for pedestrians.

“It’s a shared responsibility,” said Woodger.

The campaign is happening all across B.C. The kickoff for Victo-ria took place on Monday in front of the Legislature.

B.C. communities care.So do the Black Press newspapers that directly serve those

communities. Reflecting and raising awareness of that caring spirit is part of the core mandate of every Black Press community newspaper.

This publication is now part of an exciting new initiative under-taken by Black Press in British Columbia that works to further communicate the good work being done in communities, and pro-vide a new opportunity for organizations and individuals to tap into that fountain of caring.

BlackPress4Good.com is an online platform that brings the popular and successful phenomenon of crowdfunding to Black Press readers.

Charitable projects, causes and campaigns are now able to deliver their message on the community level, safely and securely, in an online format to reach the vast digital audience and funding sources.

“Crowdfunding provides a means for individuals, organiza-tions and businesses to raise money by appealing to the public,” explained Andrew Franklin, project lead for Black Press.

“This platform is community focused and will be enhanced through the power of your local newspaper. The audience will be very aware of the campaigns and it will be up to the public as to whether they make a donation or not. Early indications show very positive signs. In addition to the exposure through your community media, the success of the campaigns will also rely on active social media participation. Anyone can set up a campaign, however there are safeguards in place to ensure each campaign is legitimate,” Franklin said.

Black Press has launched this new community service in part-nership with FundRazr, the platform at the roots of BlackPress-4Good.com. More than 40,000 people and groups around the world have raised in excess of $50 million via FundRazr.

Fundraisers register online via the link on this newspaper’s website home page, provide information about their objectives and fund recipients, and their project profiles are then posted on a

dedicated website page to reach out to readers, who can monitor the progress of a specific cause. Supporters make their donations via PayPal, a secure and well-established digital payment system.

Under 10 per cent of the total amount raised will be levied by FundRazr, PayPal and Black Press to recover the administration, support, marketing and hosting costs associated with this initia-tive.

Readers will also have the opportunity to be inspired and touched by the good news content of the Black Press 4Good blog, at blogs.blackpress4good.com/. This site’s content is solely based on the good news stories being reported in Black Press papers across the province. Be introduced to the countless individu-als and organizations who are making their communities better places to live.

BlackPress4good.com and facebook.com/blackpress4good have been created to help channel and enhance that caring spirit.

Black Press is Canada’s largest independently owned newspa-per company, with more than 150 titles in print and online in Brit-ish Columbia, Alberta, Washington, Hawaii, California and Ohio.

The elves at Russ Hay’s Bike Shop are asking the community to help bring a smile to the faces of local kids this Christmas by donating gently used kids bikes. Russ Hay’s will then fix them up and give them to a child in-need.

“Every kid should have a bike – riding is great exercise and it also gives children a sense of inde-pendence and confidence,” says Russ Hay’s Mar-tin Clermont.

Unsure if your bike qualifies? Just email a pic-ture to [email protected]

Last year’s “Bikes for Kids” program received more than 120 bikes; 24” bikes (for kids age 8 to 10) were in high demand, but all sizes are needed and welcome.

Donors are asked to drop off bikes before Dec. 15 to alow time for them to be fixed up and dis-tributed before Christmas. In addition to bikes, financial donations will go directly toward helmets and purchasing bikes for children who cannot find the correct size. For more information contact Russ Hay’s Bikes at 250-384-4722, or email [email protected]

This year, the western world has been engaged in marking the centenary of the First World War.

We are fearfully watching its legacy today as the Middle East and Africa erupt in sectarian conflict, much of which can be traced directly to the geographical boundaries drawn in those regions by European colonialist powers following the First World War.

Personal grief and tragedy too have left their indelible marks, but one of the lighter legacies of this conflict was in popular music.

I have been meditating on this as we at the Maritime Museum of B.C. put together a performance of a First World War Musical Revue.

I was speaking with my 97-year-old grandmother (who lost her father in the war) about the songs we’ve chosen for the set and she remarked: “Isn’t it interesting how the Second World War mostly re-used the songs from the First War, rather than producing its own, aside from White Cliffs of Dover?”

This anecdotal testimony does seem to be remarkable, especially considering that by the 1940s most families had their own radio and therefore immediate access to popular music. A Billboard Pop Chart was actually published was 1940. In 1914-1918, by contrast, popular music was mostly experienced via sheet music played on one’s home piano, or via a recording, played on a phonograph or gramophone.

And so, I looked through lists of Second World War music and discovered that while there were new hits on the radio, the songs sung by soldiers were almost all exactly those sung by soldiers 25 years before. Something about that music really stayed in the collective consciousness.

Pop culture is of course not a modern phenomenon: it has only become more adaptable thanks to modern technology and the ease of dissemination which it enables.

Prior to 1914, popular music was rapidly evolving. The earliest jazz and ragtime rhythms were seeping into music and changing not only what we heard, but how we danced, how we socialized, and how we expressed ourselves.

At the outbreak of the war, perhaps the most popular song in dance and music halls was Alexander’s Ragtime Band with its familiar and very prescient refrain: “They can play a bugle call like you never heard before/ So natural that you want to go to war.” The ragged tune and rollicking beat was foreshadowing for the jazz explosion that followed in the 1920s. The lyrics, however, were alarmingly on-point.

When men began signing up for a jolly good fight in 1914, the music they marched and sang to as they headed to the bloodbath of Europe echoed their optimism. The assumption was that the war would be short, and would provide adventure and an opportunity for young men to prove themselves in battle.

Stirring tunes with a distinctly patriotic tinge dominated the training corps and the dance halls. Pieces like I Love You Canada tugged at the heartstrings of soldiers and their families, with lyrics like “Though shot and shell are flying, Canada I think of thee/ It’s the land I’d do or die for, and my heart is there always.”

Simple music and easily memorized lyrics created a long-lasting impact. One of my favourites has the rather whimsical title of Good-byeee. There is a playful, upbeat element to this piece, which describes “brother Bertie” going to war “with a smile on his lips and his lieutenant pips upon his shoulder bright and gay”.

However, as the war dragged on, the music’s tone changed. Songs like Keep the Home Fires Burning rang out on the home front as wives and mothers confronted loss and longing for their boys overseas.

One surviving letter to the Canadian Field Comforts Commission is from a soldier who wrote to thank them for sending the soldiers harmonicas, which were always used on their marches to and from the front lines. Music like Pack up your Troubles and It’s a Long Way to Tipperary dominated these journeys. Their cheerful melodies and hopeful lyrics were integral to maintaining morale in rat-infested, blood soaked trenches.

These songs were used again during the Second World War. Some men who fought in the First World War were still young enough to enlist in the Second, and brought their trench songs to another era of warfare altogether. Their tunes and lyrics remain with us now, and not just in the minds of people of my grandmother’s generation. Most people can still hum or sing along to them today, which helps us to remember the young men and women whose voices were silenced 100 years ago.

The Juvenile Diabe-tes Research Founda-tion raised $210,000 in one night in Victoria recently.

This was JDRF’s 10th

annual Promise Ball fun-draiser, named the Dia-mond Decade Gala.

“We are the world’s largest non-government funder of Type 1 dia-betes research,” said Jason Parkhill, JDRF manager of fundraising

and development in Vic-toria.

JDRF has branches around the world and is known for funding research towards fund-ing a cure, treatment and prevention for Type 1 diabetes.

The gala at the Delta Hotel featured a four-course dinner, a dance, silent and live auctions and an entertainer.

“We’re getting to be quite a ‘go-to’ event,” said Parkhill. “I think people can see the rel-

evancy of what they are able to do with their financial support and the incredible advances that JDRF is making toward finding a cure.”

In fact, Parkhill said a cure might not be far off.

“There are treatments that are in clinical trials right now. Some of the world’s leading research is happening here in B.C.”

Every year at the gala, a community service award is given to an indi-vidual for exemplary community service. This year, the Living and Giv-ing award was given to Michael and Paddy Graetz.

“Both of them have been involved on the committee organiz-ing this event for all 10 years,” said Parkhill.

Glasses choices not just restricted to frames

If you wear glasses, there is much more to choose from than just frame styles. Due to technological advances over the past few years, there are wide ranges of practical and affordable options available for the lenses themselves.

Be sure to ask your optometrist or optician about the lens options that are available, including the following:

Anti-reflective coating: This feature helps eliminate annoying reflections and the “ghost” images some people see. AR coated lenses actually transmit more light for clearer vision. These lenses can help people who drive at night by reducing glare from oncoming headlights.

Photosensitive lenses: These special lens materials “darken” when you are exposed to different intensities of outdoor light. The brighter it is outside, the darker the lens becomes. This lens works best when you are outdoors and therefore is not the best sunglass for driving.

UV coating: A protective coating that blocks harmful ultraviolet rays. The latest UV coatings can help protect the eyes without changing the look or color of the lenses.

Color tinting: Any color tint can be added to your lenses in gradients ranging from 10-90%. This can be used for style, to give your glasses a unique look, or for certain health reasons (eg. cataracts). Color tints can be combined with UV coating for added protection in the sun.

Scratch protection: A clear coating that helps protect plastic lenses from scratches and other superficial damage. This option is pretty much mandatory for just about anyone wearing plastic or high index lenses. There are different scratch resistant coatings available depending on the level of protection a person needs.

All of these options, combined with advances in lens design (for example aspheric, progressive and high index lenses), mean that today’s spectacle wearer is guaranteed greater comfort. While at your Optometrist’s office ask what your best lens options are for your prescription.

Lighthouse Brewing has fished up a new theme for its beers.

It all started when the brew-ery learned they had to rename their Switchback IPA beer because another company had already registered that name. It is now known as Shipwreck IPA.

“We took the opportunity to freshen up everything and bring everything together,” said Dean McLeod, brewmaster at Light-house.

Lighthouse Brewing has been in Victoria since 1998.

The new theme encompasses Lighthouse’s nautical roots.

“Myself and most of the other people that work here come from other places and were drawn to Victoria because it is such a beautiful coastal city,” McLeod said.

“The coast is our home and important to everyone who works here.”

The labels on the beers incor-porate coastal elements such as waves, kelp and ropes, along with a new lighthouse logo.

Another unique element to Lighthouse’s new packaging

includes stories about the beer and how it ties in with the nauti-cal theme on each of the boxes.

“Every beer has its own story,” McLeod said.

“When we started looking at all of our beers we found out there was a really strong nautical connection to all of them.”

One of the most popular changes so far has been the addition of the Bounty Pre-

mier Mixer Pack, shaped and designed like a treasure chest. The pack includes three bottles each of Bowline Pilsner, Race Rocks, Seaport Vanilla Stout and Tasman Pale Ale.

“We’ve been working really hard on the liquid for a long time, and now we’ve got some great packaging to present it in.”

Dean McLeod, brewmaster at Lighthouse Brewing, presents the new treasure chest Bounty Pack. The treasure chest is part of Lighthouse’s new natuical labelling and packaging.

The Victoria Golf Club Links to Change program has exceeded $1 million in contributions to local charities over the past 18 years.

The charity events focus on fostering safe and caring family relationships and supporting indi-vidual healing among family members affected by relationship violence. Programs that help to facili-tate positive change and end the cycle of violence in families are supported by funds raised at these charity events.

Recipient charities include Victoria Women’s Transition House, Pacific Centre Family Services, KidSport and Evans Caddie Scholarships. Transi-tion House was the main recipient of the fund-raiser for eight years.

“The focus is on families and keeping them safe and secure,” said Vicki Mather, Links to Change chair.

This is the second year that Pacific Centre Fam-ily Services has also been a recipient. New this year is KidSport Greater Victoria.

Fred Rohani, club president, lauded Victoria Golf Club member volunteers who devoted a tre-mendous amount of personal time serving on the charity events committees. More than 80 per cent of the donations and sponsorships came from the Victoria Golf Club membership with the remainder from the business community.

“Instrumental in the success of the events was our title sponsor for their third year in a row, Bay-view Place (Patricia and Ken Mariash),” Rohani said.

The 2014 Links to Change charity golf tourna-ments and Come Together Beatles’ 50th anniver-

sary tribute party both broke attendance records for each of the three charity events held in July. Funds raised this year put Victoria Golf Club’s total contributions to local charities well over the $1 million mark.

The men’s and women’s golf tournaments and the Come Together party were hosted by the Vic-toria Golf Club at its historic clubhouse on Beach Drive.

The L2C events draw participants of both gen-ders from Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland and Alberta.

KidSport scored a $10,000 donation by title sponsor Bayview Place and developers Patricia and K.W. Mariash, Sr.

“We exist to allow all kids to play. This money means there will be an additional 100 kids that will be able to participate in sports in Greater Vic-toria,” said Chuck Pusateri, chair of the board of KidSport Greater Victoria.

Money also goes toward the Evans Caddies Scholarship. This scholarship is famous in the States, but the Victoria Golf Club is the only group to adopt the program in Canada (started here in 2006).

“It is an opportunity for us to help bright kids. This way they’re debt free,” said Berne Neufeld, the driver of the program.

Three Oak Bay High alumni have received the scholarship to the University of Colarado: Alex Adams and his brother Mark Adams and Casey White.
