Colwood residents are feeling victorious after the city planning and land use committee voted unani-mously to recommend council deny the applica-tion for a development at 467 Royal Bay Dr.

“We need to go back to the drawing board. I think that we can do better,” said chair Shari Lukens.

Resident Ian Pattullo, among 100 residents that filled a meeting room at West Shore Parks and Recreation, said the result is a victory.

“That was the obvious conclusion. Whether or not we can actually get to the common ground they’re speak-ing about, that’s going to be a tough chore,” he said.

The issue was deferred during a May meeting when the developer was told to work with residents to come up with a compromise and resubmit plans.

The May plans called for 70 units. The rejigged plan calls for 68 units with five corridors added to the largest building to create view glimpses. As many residents and committee members complained, little else had changed.

Speaking on behalf of neighbouring residents, Andy Smith expressed disappointment in the lack of communi-cation between residents and the developer. After some initially positive conversations, Smith said the developer submitted new plans with no notification or compromise.

“I was optimistic that with help from the planning depart-ment and all the information I’ve amassed, that I would be able to convince the three parties to compromise,” Smith said. “After some discussion … it was clear there wasn’t going to be a compromise, there were going to be no sub-stantial discussions with residents.”

Mike Wignall, representing the developers, spoke of the need to increase density to produce a profit.

“Residential investment is not guaranteed,” responded committee member Shaun Eden. “Granting a variance on the basis of an argument for profitability… is not really a point that carries a lot of weight in and of itself.”

While most committee members stressed support for densification, none could support the plan as it stood, pri-marily because of the overwhelming dissent from residents.

The issue is expected to be before city council on Oct. [email protected]

Cruising through Langford on a fire engine is a highlight at Langford Fire Rescue’s annual open house.

“It’s a great opportunity to come out and see what firefighters do and get a little exposure to see what it’s like to be a firefighter,” said Chris Aubrey, fire prevention officer.

The department hosts its open

house with safety and equipment dis-plays with several hands-on exhibits for children and adults alike. Partici-pants can crush a pop can with the Jaws of Life, scurry up the climbing wall, shoot water at the fire house and get a 2.5 kilometre ride on an engine.

Kids can pedal around in little cars and learn the rules of the road for vehicles and pedestrians in the Tom Thumb Safety Village. Profits from a pancake breakfast and hotdog lunch will go towards the women’ auxiliary.

Firefighters will also offer fire extin-

guisher demonstrations, ATV and Zodiac information and talk about car seat safety and book installations.

The open house is the kick off to Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 6 to 12.

“This year’s theme is cooking safety and we will have a public information table with information for people,” Aubrey said adding the department has seen a recent rise in emergency calls stemming from cooking fires.

SNEQ’WA(Blue Heron House)

Kyle WellsNews staff

Strong currents of recognition and repair ran through the words of First Nations elders and chiefs as they marked the opening of Royal Roads University’s new aboriginal education cen-tre, Sneq’wa, on Monday.

“I have so much on my mind when it comes

to this land here,” Esquimalt Chief Andy Thomas said. “We need to find answers and create those processes of healing in places like this. … I can’t just ignore it, because as a chief these are issues that I face every day.”

The centre, located in what used to be the school’s boathouse, is intended to be a place to foster educational opportunities for indigenous youth, as well as provide a space for commu-nication between First Nations groups and with the larger community.

Thomas, who played an important role in the development of the centre, spoke of the challenges that still face the First Nations youth when it comes to education. With the traditional industries of fishing and forestry no longer thriving, Thomas believes a new direction needs to be found for First Nations youth.

“You’ll have to be able to find the answers for our children, to get through the system, to be able to get here. Right now they’re still dropping out at Grade 8, Grade 10,” Thomas said. “These are the things that have to be addressed if these institutes are going to be working for our people.”

Originally named the Aboriginal Learning and Cultural Centre,

the true name of the build-ing was chosen by way of a

silent vote at the gather-ing: Blue Heron House

or Sneq’wa.The new building

will host support

services for the university’s 156 indig-enous students and be a space for an elder’s circle.

B.C. Minister of Advanced Educa-tion Amrik Virk spoke at the ceremony about his time working in First Nations communities as an RCMP officer.

“I saw so much hope in those chil-dren I ran across, and yet my heart was broken many a time,” Virk said. “This is a real opportunity here. … This is a structure but it’s about the people that inhabit it, it’s about the people that are going to come here, the people that are going to work together.”

New staffer targets top aboriginal programming Asmanahi Antoine is the new indigenous education and student services manager. She sees her job as strengthening connections between RRU and First Nations groups, while supporting aboriginal students and advocating for indigenous educational programs.“There isn’t a mandate that there’s indigenous programming yet, but we’re hoping that’s what we’ll be working towards,” Antoine said. “I’m excited.”

Opening ceremony recognizes past, looks to future


Belmont staff and students will spin their wheels as the Leadership group hosts a Tour de Rock Spinathon next Wednesday.

Students and teachers will create teams to cycle on a stationary bike throughout the day. There are prizes for the most money raised by a team and those who shave their heads dur-ing the barbecue lunch and head shaving from 11:50 a.m. to 12:40 p.m. on Oct. 2.

Grade 10 leadership student Jamie Wallace expects 10 teams to sign up, with five to 10 stu-dents per team, who will spin from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Each student will take on an hour shift behind the wheel.

“We are doing this to raise awareness for the riders and everyone who’s doing this event,” Wallace said. “We believe it’s important that these riders understand just how much we appreciate what they are doing.”

Donations will be displayed in the foyer as a bike pump that will “fill” as cash rolls in. The goal is to raise $2,000 to $3,000.

Donations will be accepted up until the event, either at the school or through students.

The epitome of eating local, the annual Har-vest Supper is again hitting close to home.

The meal for 150 is a local take on the 100 Mile Diet, featuring fresh ham, lamb and turkey from Vancouver Island, as well as seasonal veg-gies from local farms and gardens.

“We make a really good effort to get all of our products from the West Shore and from mar-ket vendors and local farms,” said co-ordinator Kelly Parkin, adding the event gives patrons ideas for locally-sourced dishes.

“How many people have apple trees and they just don’t know what to do with all those apples?” Parkin said. “We do fresh pressed apple juice every year and all of our apples come from the West Shore.”

The annual Harvest Supper, presented by the Luxton Station Market Society and Colwood’s Church of the Advent, is Sunday, Sept. 29.

Tickets are $17 for adults, $13 for youth and seniors and $55 for a family of two adults and two youths or seniors. Tickets are available at the Goldstream Station Market (Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Bryn Maur Rd.), by phone at 250-507-5767 or by email at [email protected].

Swim for a good causeNext month,

swimmers will take to ten local commu-nity pools to count their laps for the 28th annual Victoria Hospice Swimathon. Previously held in May, this year the popular annual event will run the week of October 5th to 12th, the � nal day coinciding with World Hospice and Palliative Care Day.

The Victoria Hospice Swimathon, a well-loved Victoria tradition for almost 30 years, is launch-ing a new online fundraising system this year, allowing swimmers to create their own fundraising page. Swimmers can upload photos and set their goals, before emailing friends and colleagues to ask for their support.

The self-directed format allows swimmers to swim laps in their neigh-bourhood pool at their convenience, free of charge, during the designated week. Pledges will be totalled up on October 12th, the � nal day. As an extra incentive, swimmers raising over $200 will receive a limited edition Swimathon towel.

The individualized nature of the Swimathon does not preclude chal-lenges to fellow participants. Just ask Hospice counsellor and regular swim-athon participant Caelin Rose, who admits to being a bit of a cheerleader. “I love swimming and I love to encourage

others,” he says. “My focus is to have fun and have people working together for an important cause.”

Caelin also initiated a Jeans Day at Victoria Hospice in the weeks preceding Swimathon. “Staff wear jeans to work, wearing buttons that say ‘I’m wear-ing jeans today in support of Victoria Hospice Swimathon,’ in order to get the word out and encourage pledges. Staff have to buy the button each day for a toonie, and return it at the end of the day.” As a result, a friendly rivalry occurs between the nurses, doctors, counsellors, administrative support staff, and volunteers as they vie for the trophy given to the group that raises the most money for Jeans Day. Caelin turns in the funds raised under the name “Jean Day” – “she” has proven to be quite a fundraiser.

Typical participants at the swimathon are already swimmers. “Here is a way

to do what you already do and raise money for a service that helps people. Lots of kids par-ticipate. They love to swim and will

go to friends and neighbours to collect pledges. It is a great learning opportu-nity for children as it teaches them to be more community minded.” Caelin recalled one hospice volunteer in her 90s who brought her daughter, granddaugh-ter and great-grand-daughter to the pool. “She was still swim-ming every day and the whole family was behind it, all supporting Victoria Hospice.”

And, if you don’t swim, but would like to participate, Caelin has a suggestion for you. “You could do a virtual swim. Or pledge not to put on a bathing suit and collect money.” A sense of humour will help in this case.

Community support is vital to Victoria Hospice. Will you be a swimmer, a virtual swimmer or will you pledge support to a swimmer? Whatever you do, your support will be very gratefully received by Victoria Hospice. Register today at www.VictoriaHospice.org under “Events”.

World Hospice and Palliative Care Day on October 12, 2013 is a day of uni� ed action in worldwide celebration and support of hospice and palliative care.

Access to palliative care is a human right. No healthcare system in a country is complete without including palliative care as an available service. However palliative care is mostly limited to countries in Western Europe, North America, and Australia.

In fact, 42% of nations, with a sobering 80% of people globally have little to no access to treatment for moderate to severe pain.

Efforts are underway to expand palliative care to low and middle income countries so that every country can have palliative care.

To mark this day of action, Victoria Hospice will be celebrating the � nal day of the 28th Annual Swimathon which has raised over $2M for end-of-life care.

Kulture Frozen Yogurt is also offering a delicious way to make a difference. On October 12th from 11am – 4pm, 50% of all proceeds will be donated to Victoria Hospice. Be sure to stop by at 3749 Shelbourne St.

Hot on the heels of its grand opening Wednesday, the new ambulance station, call centre and training facility on Leigh Road will also host the Capital Regional

District’s fire dispatch for two weeks in October. Langford dispatches for a number of small com-

munities in the south Island, normally working out of Langford’s No. 1 fire hall. The regional dispatch service will move to the shiny new B.C. Health Services centre on Oct. 8 while the fire hall is reno-vated and upgraded.

Langford fire Chief Bob Beckett is excited for fire and B.C. Ambulance dispatchers to work together for the two-week period, noting fire dispatch could also operate there in case of an emergency.

“We’ve already been duplicating the technology so we can work out of the (Leigh Road) location,” Beckett said. “They are going to work upstairs with the paramedics and we’ll work on fine tuning and streamlining.”

The new facility is the first of its kind for the B.C. Ambulance Service, built specifically for shared dispatch and ambulance operations. Officials tout the Leigh Road site as a good fit for emergency

response, as it is close to the interchange, provid-ing speedy access to Highway 1.

“When you think about the community, the real comfort is knowing (the emergency responders) are fast and close by,” said Coun. Lillian Szpak, Langford protective services chair. “We are also thrilled at the dozens and dozens of jobs here.”

The centre employs 35 full- and part-time employees.

The event will fea-ture a number of sta-tions with different challenges for children, who will be issued a passport to be stamped at each station, earn-ing them a junior fire-fighter certificate when completed. Challenges include a fire extin-guisher simulator and putting out a fake burn-ing house using a fire hose.

Rides will also be available on the sta-tion’s newest truck, and there will be displays on recruiting and emer-gency preparedness, along with a grease fire demonstration.

Smoking banextension moot

Guess how many individuals or businesses have been fined in recent years for violating rules around smoking less than three metres from an enclosed space in Greater Victoria?

Exactly zero. On the surface that tells us the Capital Regional District has done a good job at changing people’s behaviour around smoking in public places.

The CRD has clearly taken an educational approach to the issue rather than one that is punitive. Some might argue that aggressive enforcement, with frequent fines for violators, is the best way to change behaviour on this issue. But the numbers would indicate the CRD’s experience of using a kinder, gentler approach has proven effective.

Besides the absence of fines against smokers or establishments – bylaw enforcement officers at the Vancouver Island Health Authority, actually have very limited authority to ticket individuals – the smoking rate in Greater Victoria has been reduced to 11 per cent, compared to 15 per cent provincially.

That said, extending the three-metre ban to seven metres, as the CRD is considering, seems an overreach. The accompanying proposal to create no-smoking zones in parks and playgrounds makes sense, but a seven-metre rule would be like pouring salt in a wound already destined to be lethal.

We shouldn’t be surprised at this gradual expansion of the space in which people can be free from breathing secondhand smoke. Health authorities and other regulatory bodies have made it their goal to squeeze smokers into as small an area as possible and reduce their numbers to limit their impact on public health.

The new distance rule, if passed by the CRD board, will further isolate smokers, to the point where only roadways and parking lots in downtown Victoria, for example, will be “legal” areas to light up.

Unless the CRD is prepared to ban smoking outright – an unlikely notion now, but one many would support – it should look to other ways of educating the public about the hazards of lighting up rather than creating unenforceable rules that further pad the bureaucracy.

The Union of B.C. Municipalities approved a paper on B.C. local governments’ finance system at their convention this month. I was pleased to be one of the authors of this report, which evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of our current tax system.

We found the current situation is sound, but has some weaknesses due to a dependency on property taxes, which is less responsive to economic change and distributes costs unfairly across income groups. These weaknesses will become more apparent over the next 10 to 20 years as infrastructure pressures continue to mount.

The report recommends taking action on both sides of the fiscal equation – revenues and expenditures. Titled “Strong Fiscal Futures,” it sets out five key directions for change: resiliency, value, responsiveness, fairness and excellence.

Resiliency: we want to safeguard the effective elements of the current revenue system. Programs such as the federal gas tax fund, federal/provincial infrastructure programs, and provincial traffic fine revenue sharing and small community grants will be critical to the local government system in the decades ahead. Quite simply, the report urges that existing revenue streams not be lost.

Value: improve value to taxpayers by tightening the management of local-provincial mandates. We

want to make sure that the benefits of new regulations exceed their costs. And it’s about working together to find ways to manage costs of joint mandates such as policing and emergency response.

Responsiveness and fairness: the report urges local governments to partner with the province to improve the economy, and begin a dialogue towards fairer, more

responsive revenue tools.A key component of our proposal

would see revenues delivered to the local government system in years of high economic performance – revenue that could be used to build communities. This will help reduce reliance on the property tax – a tax that does not adequately reflect changes in the B.C. economy – by providing revenues that do respond to economic growth.

This specific proposal is the only significant new revenue proposed for local government. It does not advocate that the province transfer existing revenues – this would be unrealistic as they seek to balance their budgets in challenging economic times.

Nor does it advocate for more taxes from existing taxpayers – taxpayers are also facing these same challenges. What it does

propose is for local governments to work with the province to grow the economy, create new taxpayers and new tax revenue – and when revenues are above average that a portion be shared with an Infrastructure and Community Development Bank for local governments in B.C.

Excellence: lead an initiative to help local governments learn from each other to build tools and resources that support spending and taxing decisions. The initiative can build on excellence already in the system, develop innovative and collaborative mechanisms to achieve greater efficiencies, and deliver critical information like business taxation benchmarks and indicators.

These priorities respect the intention of the province for balanced budgets and institutes measures that can reduce local government costs, help avoid further reliance on the property tax and bring needed economic activity to the province and our communities. Later, as the economy improves, we will be ready to implement these improvements, including a local government share of economic growth.

We expect this report to attract considerable attention, questions and quite likely some debate – not only within the membership of the UBCM, but from citizens and business groups at large.

Rookie school trustee being shut out by board vetsRe: Victoria school trustee

publicly scolded (vicnews.com)The article about Greater

Victoria School District first-time trustee Deborah Nohr being censured by fellow trustees is very aptly titled. The word “scolded” conjures up images of adults reading the riot act to a child who isn’t obedient to them.

But Nohr is not a child. She

is a very well-educated woman with a teaching career that gives her valuable perspective to bring to our school board table. And Nohr has a right as well as a responsibility to ask questions of administrators and longtime trustees, to better understand the underpinnings of motions that she must make decisions about.

This latest attempt to pressure

Nohr to fall in line with the decisions of longtime trustees is having a backlash. Those of us who follow school board politics know Nohr is doing her job representing her constituents and we value her efforts to make decision-making in this district more transparent. We know that any thriving public institution draws upon the expertise of

every member of its elected board and that this dynamic is not in play.

We can learn from the business community about the folly of not valuing all of the expertise around a board table.

We, the taxpayers, are the investors in public education. And we need to pay more attention to which of

our trustees really are making a contribution to our school system. Unfortunately, most of Nohr’s contributions, and those of other first-time trustees, are mostly blocked by longtime trustees. Voting records from April 2012 onward can be found on the School District 61 website.

Readers respond: Terry Fox, 9/11 questions

Inspirational runner Foxremembered fondly

More than 30 years ago, my family and I were at the first Terry Fox Run. I have supported it ever since.

We all want to see the end of cancer, but let’s not forget the young man who was the first to take on running to help raise funds for cancer research.

How sad that some runs had to be cancelled this year due to a lack of volunteers.

There is only so much money a person can give, and there just seems to be more and more charities wanting money. Millions of dollars have been raised by the Fox family in Terry’s memory.

Let’s not forget.Eileen Nattrass

Saanichton

9/11 explanationneeds to be revisited

The blue-and-orange billboard beside the Pat Bay Highway is part of a world-wide advertising campaign by an association of 2,000 architects and engineers called A&E for 9/11 Truth.

The campaign is endorsed by more than 100 family members of

9/11 victims, who invite us to rethink 9/11 and understand that a third tower, World Trade Centre 7, fell that day in 2001.

The official explanation for its collapse, that it was weakened by falling debris from the Twin Towers and that raging office fires caused its massive steel framework to fail, is contradicted by photo and video evidence.

Tower 7 sustained relatively light damage and its fires never grew hot enough to melt steel. Towers 5 and 6, which also burned, were closer to the Twin Towers and pummelled by falling debris, yet their steel frameworks remained standing.

During Tower 7’s collapse, characteristics of a controlled demolition were plainly evident. The tower fell straight down into its own footprint, at free-fall acceleration, meaning that all its supporting structure was severed almost simultaneously.

In the dust and debris, scientists found residue of the type of explosives and incendiaries used in controlled demolitions because they rapidly melt steel. This explains reports by firemen and first responders that they saw molten metal “flowing like lava.”

Setting up a controlled demolition

for such a massive building requires a team of experts with prolonged access.

Given that Tower 7 – which housed the CIA, U.S. Secret Service and the Department of Defence – was one of the most secure buildings in New York City, it is highly unlikely that a team from a foreign country managed to breach its security.

This raises disturbing questions: Who set WTC-7 up for demolition? And why?

Further, it supports the evidence that WTC Towers 1 and 2 were also brought down by controlled demolition.

A new documentary from Massimo Mazzucco called September 11 – The New Pearl Harbour (bit.ly/16eiOz8), provides new evidence that the official account of 9/11 violates the laws of physics and is therefore impossible.

The official narrative is so flawed it raises serious doubts as to the legitimacy of the supposed war on terror it spawned against Middle East nations, with Syria now threatened to be next.

A valid investigation is still possible and needed to reveal the truth.

Christine van ReeuwykNews staff

A young duck is searching out new peeps near Race Rocks after being released there Monday. The Common Merganser came to the Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre in Metchosin on June 16 after a dramatic afternoon on the Malahat.

While traffic stopped in the single-lane section of Goldstream Ave. to allow a feathered family cross, one driver tried to pass on the shoulder. She hit multiple vehicles, a rock wall and then the ducklings, said RCMP spokesperson Const. Sarah Beckett.

“The vehicle struck the ducklings and one was injured,” Beckett said. “Our officers were able to catch up with that driver near the Malahat Mountain Inn.”

Wild ARC credits Const. Kerry Mazur with bringing the injured duck to the SPCA rehab centre. A motor-ist flagged her down in Goldstream Park.

“It was the witness that rescued the duckling,” Beckett said. “(Mazur) contacted Wild ARC and they had someone waiting there while the wit-ness drove the duckling (to Metcho-sin).”

Along with tickets for no insurance and passing on the right, the driver was issued a $345 fine under the Wildlife Act for injuring the animal.

“She had been hit by a car so there

was certainly a lot of bruising at the beginning,” said Kari Marks, manager of B.C. SPCA Wild ARC of the then 43-gram Common Merganser duck-ling. “We were definitely caring for her at the beginning … she had pain-killers and such.”

By the start of July she was stron-ger, diving for fish.

“We didn’t want to release her until she could fly,” Marks said. “By mid-September she was starting to fly, little flights, and by the end of Sep-tember she was good to go.”

With Mergansers spotted off Ped-der Bay and Pearson College offering a boat, the site was chosen.

“They always do better when they’re in with other ducklings,” Marks said. “Unfortunately there weren’t any when we released her at Race Rocks, but she will find them.”

Updated with the latest happenings

When The Chantrelles played their first set at a coffee roastery, they weren’t planning on leading a soul dance party from Victoria to Montreal, but two years later the

crowd favourites haven’t stopped.“We were thinking of playing Motown covers

and we were never thinking it would go anywhere,” says keyboardist Erin Dwyer, who was studying at the Victoria Conservatory of Music, along with half of the original eight-member lineup at the time. “We didn’t even think that it would go that well.”

“Well” equated to repeated invitations to play from a catalogue of about 50 covers, before the group eventually began collaborating on their own originals. Since that first show at Discovery Coffee in February, 2011, The Chantrelles have created a style so familiar, yet almost completely absent from the current musical landscape, either in Victoria or further afield in the country – and it’s one embraced by crowded dance floors across the city.

“People were a little awestruck, but for us it was really natural feeling because we had played all of that stuff and covered all of the right songs for so long that we knew how everything should sound,” she says.

The upbeat, soulful tunes move dancers as naturally as they come to The Chantrelles, Dwyer says.

“We’ve been so lucky. You go to other shows and you don’t get that immediate looseness in the crowd. That was pretty much the case all the way right across Canada. People were pretty willing to get into it right away.”

On the rare occasion a crowd wasn’t enticed by the band’s best efforts, including a horn section and Chance Lovett’s impassioned vocals, there was always at least one in the audience really enjoying themselves – enough to keep the band happy, Dwyer recalls with a giggle. But despite their overwhelmingly positive reception The Chantrelle’s have received both at home

and on tour, few groups seem interested in sharing the same soul spotlight.

“That goes for right across Canada,” Dwyer says. “We don’t see people playing in that style. … We’re involved in a scene with a lot of guitar rock. Whether it’s soul or not, you just don’t see people playing horns, or even keys for that matter.”

Nathan Ambrose, organizer of the first annual Garden City Grooves Music Festival agrees. No one else is emanating the classics quite like The Chantrelles – but groups like The New Souls have emerged with a “powerful, sweet sounding” rep-ertoire that bridges the gap between the sound of the ’60s and something more modern, he says. Both bands are set to play the festival this weekend (Sept. 27-28).

“The soul and funk scene in Victoria is burgeon-ing,” says Ambrose, who, along with partner Reuven Sussman, moved forward with the festival after successfully co-organizing the one-night Funk Fest last November. “There are a lot of bands that have started to make a name for themselves over the past two or three years and we thought, what a

better way to celebrate them than to focus on these genres?”Those genres fall beneath the umbrella of groove – soul funk, afro beat, afro funk, down-

tempo, world music – a seemingly endless list, Ambrose admits before offering some clarity.“Essentially it’s music that makes you want to move and the beat is key.”It’s a definition not so different from how Dwyer explains The Chantrelles’ act:“It’s really fun music to play and fun music to listen to. I don’t think anybody at a party

would disagree with throwing on “Ain’t to Proud to Beg.” It’s a universal style of music anyone can get into. That’s what we saw at our first few shows: people just dancing their asses off.”

The Chantrelles play Saturday (Sept. 28) at Lucky (517 Yates). The New Souls perform Friday (Sept. 27) at Publik (1318 Broad). Full lineup and tickets to Garden City Grooves Music Festival at gardencitygrooves.com.

What Should You Do if Someone is Having a Heart Attack?

It has been widely talked about for many years so it doesn’t come

as a big surprise... heart disease, strokes and heart attacks are at an all-time high, affecting millions of Canadians. In fact, about 8 out of 10 Canadians are at risk of developing cardiovascular disease -a devastating illness that 74,000 people die from each year.

What exactly is a heart attack?

When the blood supply to the heart is slowed or stopped because of a blockage, a heart attack occurs. Atherosclerosis, the narrowing of coronary arteries due to plaque buildup, causes more than 90% of heart attacks. A heart attack may also occur when a coronary artery temporarily contracts or goes into a severe spasm, shutting off blood flow to the heart.

Not all people who have heart attacks experience the same symptoms or experience them to the same degree. Many heart attacks aren’t as dramatic as the ones you’ve seen on TV. Some people have no symptoms at all, while for others, the first sign may be sudden cardiac arrest. Still, the more signs and symptoms, the greater the likelihood that person may be having a heart attack. The severity of heart attack symptoms can vary too. Some people have mild pain, while others experience severe pain.

A heart attack can occur anytime — at work or play, while you’re resting, or while you’re in motion. Some heart attacks strike suddenly, but many people who experience a heart attack have warning signs and symptoms hours, days or weeks in advance. The earliest warning of a heart attack may be recurrent chest pain (angina) that is triggered by exertion. Angina is caused by a temporary decrease in blood flow to the heart.

Common symptoms include:• Pressure, tightness, pain, or a squeezing or aching sensation in the chest or arms. It may also spread to the neck, jaw or back.• Nausea, indigestion, heartburn or abdominal pain• Shortness of breath• Sweating or a cold sweat• Feelings of anxiety or an impending sense of doom• Fatigue• Trouble sleeping• Light-headedness or dizziness

What to do if you see someone having a heart attack?If you encounter someone who is unconscious from a presumed heart attack, call for emergency medical help If you have received training in emergency procedures, begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). This helps deliver oxygen to the body and brain.

According to the American Heart Association, regardless of whether you’ve been trained, you should begin CPR with chest compressions. Press down about 2 inches (5 centimeters) on the person’s chest at a rate of about 100 a minute. If you’ve been trained in CPR, check the person’s airway and deliver rescue breaths after every 30 compressions. If you haven’t been trained, continue compressions until help arrives.

If you are experiencing any warning signs, you should call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number right away, or have someone call for you. Stop all activity and sit or lie down in a position that is most comfortable and try to remain calm until help arrives.

What can you do to improve your heart health?Dr. Linus Pauling, two-time Noble Prize winner, reported 25 years ago that humans do not make their own Vitamin C. He also found that Vitamin C is needed to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Dr. Pauling also found that taking several thousand milligrams of Vitamin C a day can help to remove artery blockages and help to prevent a heart attack. Prevention is your best strategy for a strong and healthy cardiovascular system.

Brent Butt is hosting a live talk show nightly during the Blue Bridge Comedy Festival. Supplied photo.

The Blue Bridge is soon to be just a ghost in Victoria’s Inner Harbour, but if Vancouver-based comic Dan Quinn has anything to say about it, its legacy will live on.

Quinn is hosting the second annual Blue Bridge Comedy Festival, a bigger and better version of the fes-tival that kept Victorians laughing for a week straight last September. This year’s iteration runs until Sept. 29.

The pinnacle of last year’s festival was the gala show, host-ed by Brent Butt at the Archie Browning Sports Centre. But Quinn decided to take a different approach this time around. Instead of one big show with a large capacity, this year’s festi-val offers many shows, in smaller, more intimate venues.

Lucky Bar, the Copper Owl, Esquimalt High, the Victoria Event Centre, Ecole Victor Brodeur, Hecklers, Upstairs Cabaret, Club 9one9 and the Fleet Club are all hosting shows this time around. Venues range from a few dozen seats to a several hundred.

And the shows range in content, too. “The Big Show is the biggest names, people you see

on TV, while the Dark and Dirty Show is more edgy. If you’re married with a couple of kids, this show probably isn’t the one for you. If you don’t want to be offended,

we’ve got shows for you, too.”There’s the Fairly Clean Show, Ratfish Lounge, the Best of

Victoria Show, the Young Guns, the Out and About Show, podcast tapings, a headliner series featuring the likes of Mike Wilmot, Pete Zedlacher, Graham Clark, Brian Posehn and Elvira Kurt and even a nightly talk show — hosted by actor, comic and creator of CTV’s hit sitcom Corner Gas, Brent Butt.

“I hosted the gala show last year and I was envious of all the guys who got to hang around all week and see the other shows. It’s a really fun festival with a great crowd,” Butt says.

Butt’s nightly talk show at the Victoria Event Centre will feature some standup, some prepared bits and some different comedic guests each night, but most of the show will be off the cuff.

“It’s always a lot of fun. The format allows for fun for the audience and the performers. It’s a hybrid between a talk show and a TV show.”

The best part, says Butt, is that it’s in such a small room. “There’s nothing that compares to playing a small venue. While there’s magic in playing a big theatre, a small venue with a low ceiling and 200 people — that’s ideal.”

Two very young girls are kidnapped at the beginning of Prisoners, and a suspect is soon in custody – a gorm-less young man with “creep” written all over him. But after a night of questioning, the lead investigator (Jake Gyllenhaal) believes that the fellow, who has the mental

acuity of a 10-year old, is probably innocent. And with nothing but the scantiest of circumstantial evidence, the cops have to let him go.

That’s when what started out as a standard police procedural takes a disturbing left turn. One of the two fathers (Hugh Jackman), a sternly religious man and survivalist, turns vigilante and kidnaps the possible suspect, determined to make him talk. Suddenly the film is taking the audience into not one, but two very dark places: a missing-children thriller that winds deep into the past on the trail of a terrible evil, and into the heart of a decent man who finds himself able to do the most shocking things to save his child.

A few clues hint at strange possibilities, but nothing firms up. Days pass and desperation increases. A second “person of interest” emerges and the plot gradually shifts from the bleak realism of a crime classic like Mystic River to lurid territory more akin to Silence of the Lambs. This sudden onslaught of horror-movie tropes seem slightly unworthy in a thoughtful film showcasing Oscar-worthy performances. That said, Prisoners is still absolutely worth seeing. But be aware this is harsh and brutal cinema – one with several scenes that almost made my wife flee the theatre in search of a large restorative brandy.

Rating: ★★★½

Prisoners continues at the Empire 6, SilverCity, Empire Uni 4, and Westshore

Catching up to Salinger

Notoriously reclusive author J.D. Salinger, most famous for his coming-of-age novel Catcher in the Rye, would have hated the documentary that bears his name. Quite

a few critics have sneered at Salinger too, complaining about everything from the bombastic music to its “tabloid” approach more interested in sensationalism than sensitive literary analysis. Notwithstanding its flaws, Salinger is an interesting and wide-ranging look at a true literary lion – a deeply flawed man whose very personal writing achieved a profound resonance with read-ers around the globe.

The director follows a simple psychological throughline, positing that Salinger’s horrific experiences in the Second World War left him with crippling emotional scars – a trauma that he forever after tried to purge by writing obsessively, often for days at a time. He did this locked down in the so-called “bunker” some distance from his house, totally isolated from his wife and children. It’s hard to ignore the irony of a man selfishly ignor-ing his own flesh and blood in order to spend endless hours in the company of the fictional Glass family whom he chronicled in numerous short stories. And Salinger’s pattern of seducing smart but impressionable girl-women and then controlling them is also explored – and in salacious enough detail to discomfit many of his fans.

There are a few dozen talking heads in Salinger, everyone from literary editors to his estranged daughter, from admiring actors like Philip Seymour Hoffman to acerbic cultural gadfly Gore Vidal. Given that the writer who published so little in his lifetime will posthumously double his oeuvre with the release of several books in the next few years, this documentary is a useful, albeit superficial, refresher course in the life and legend of a classic author.

Myles and Gerry Fitzgerald celebrate a goal with Rory Maguire, centre, and Nick Charif, No. 24, against the Salmon Arm Silverbacks during the BCHL Showcase in Chilliwack on Saturday (Sept. 7). The Grizzlies won 5-4 in overtime.

Grizz back in the BearGrizzlies host Bulldogs, BacksTravis PatersonNews staff

Home again, home again, jig-gity-jig.

The Victoria Grizzlies are happy to be back practising and, as of today (Sept. 27), playing in Bear Mountain Arena.

Tonight is the Grizzlies (3-3)seventh game of the B.C. Hockey League season and first at home, as the winless Alberni Bulldogs (0-7) visit. Puck drop is 7:15 p.m. Tomorrow the Salmon Arm Sil-verbacks visit at the same time.

When you’re home is arguably one of the nicest arenas in the province – dressing rooms aside – it’s good to be back.

“Being on the road, it was good for us to build as a group

and build teamsmanship, but there was some adversity play-ing the second game on the road in two nights,” assistant head coach and general manager Craig Didmon said.

“We’ve done well to come out of it 3-3.”

The past two Friday games were wins for the Grizzlies, in Powell River and Nanaimo. But each was followed up with a loss the next night.

“Saturday we didn’t bring our best performance. We have a lot of new players who’ve come in and who’re ready to be good players in the league, just need to learn the way the league is and we’ll be one of those teams that continues to get better as the year goes on,” Didmon said.

Fans can expect to see the same dazzling moves from the Fitzgerald brothers Gerry, who leads the team in scoring with

four goals and five assists, and Myles and Leo.

Didmon says the team is even more offensively dynamic up front than last year, but it will take a while to see it consis-tently.

“We’ve (also) got some raw defencemen who have great skills and puck moving skills. Again, it takes time to figure out the league.”

Engineering a dealThe Grizzlies are happy with

its goaltending duo of local boys Nic Renyard, the starter, and Alec Dillon, the backup.

On Saturday Dillon committed to an NCAA scholarship offer from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Engineers in New York.

Dillon starred for the Wests-hore Wolves junior B team last year.

Wolves surviving early injuries to vetsTravis PatersonNews staff

The Victoria Grizzlies aren’t the only team moving home this week as the Westshore Wolves are also back home in The Bear.

The Wolves might have drawn the unluckiest start of any club for this Van-couver Island Junior Hockey League season.

Not only has the Mann Cup kept them out of Bear Mountain Arena until this week, the Wolves have been without four of its top six for-wards to start the season.

“We’re coming but it’s a work in progress,” coach Rob Doyle said. “You never know quite what you’re going to get with us.”

The Wolves (3-4-1-0) visit the Saanich Braves tonight (3-3-0-0) in hopes of wresting away another hard-earned win.

Puck drop is 6:30 p.m. at Pearkes Arena.

Despite injuries to captain Joel Gordon and two of its top scor-

ers from last season, Clay Carson and Kyle Richter, the Wolves have stayed the course.

Doyle hopes the team has stemmed the bleeding on defence from a couple of early season blow-outs, 10-0 to the Victoria Cougars on

Sept. 8 and 6-1 to the Nanaimo Buccaneers on Sept. 18.

In three of the last four games, the Wolves gave up 47, 51, and 70 shots. Remarkably, the

Wolves won the 70-shot game with only 31 shots

for, a 6-5 overtime win against the Campbell River Storm on Sept. 11.

“Our goaltending is not the prob-lem. When you give up 50 to 60 shots a game, it’s a total lack of defensive commitment,” Doyle said.

The return of the aforementioned injured players will help. So will get-ting veteran Kayle Ramsay back. Ramsay is still serving a lengthy one-month suspension from the end of last season.

“Looking at the big picture right now, maybe it’s a better thing, guys are showing us some things we might not have seen from them. Instead of baby steps, some guys are taking giant steps.”

Howling for defence

Putting on a Brave faceTravis PatersonNews staff

With some highly talented for-wards flying up front for the Saanich Braves, fans can be forgiven for mistaking this season’s team as one that’s flirting with a reload rather than a rebuild VIJHL season.

Not true says coach Brad Cook. “We’re definitely in a rebuild

year, we’re already starting to see the inexperience and youth show its face. But we’re letting these kids find there way after a good start,” he said.

The Braves had an electric home opener at the beginning of the month, storming back from a four goal deficit to beat the Wolves. But

it’s not all rosy. “You can’t get comfy as a

young player, and I’m not sure some of the guys we opened the season with have shown me they are ready to stay.”The defence is the Braves’

rock, led by last year’s VIJHL defender of the year Garrett Kem-mler, Jordan Groenhyde, Tom Dakers and Liam Sproule, though Sproule and Gronehyde are injured.

Bill Okell put a stamp on another suc-cessful sports car sea-son driving his modi-fied 1964 MGB to two wins in the Nasport Lite Championship at Thundershill Raceway Park in Willows, Calif., near Sacramento.

It’s the fourth straight Nasport Lite title for Okell and his crew, with first place finishes on Saturday and Sunday. But it’s still not Okell’s desired season, as the Victoria gear head was striving to get back into the win-ner’s circle of the GTU Sports Car standings at the River’s Edge Road Course in Mission.

“Unfortunately I strive for perfection,” Okell said. “I’m not

going out on a losing note so I’ll be back again next year.”

Two weekends ago Okell had the chance to win the GTU series. He went into the final

two races of the season in Mission in second place and the oppor-tunity to overtake first in the points standings. Instead of winning, he slipped to sixth place in each race and fin-ished third overall for the year.

“The disappoint-ing thing was I led both the final races in Mission but fell back with the parts failures, a head gas-ket on Sunday and timing plate on Sat-urday,” Okell said.

The good news is they were able to rectify both issues within two days of returning and head off to Thundershill.

When they got there, the skies poured sweet B.C. rain onto the track, and Okell domi-nated the first race.

“We found out we’re better in the rain. Half the field didn’t even go on the track, they’re not used to it and don’t have the proper tires.”

The engine is already out of the MGB being refitted for next season.
