Orange flames lick blue glass.Yet, Yesterday’s Sand glass studio isn’t sweat-

worthy.Chris Windsor spins and talks. This medium affords efficiency, the artist

explains, plus Pyrex is harder and lighter than tra-ditional materials.

“At the end of the day if I turn off my torch and turn off my kiln, my shop costs me zero dollars instantly. Whereas with soft glass studios ... you have furnaces and glory holes where, once they’re primed and hot, you have to use (them) until all the glass is gone,” he said. “At any time I can stop what I’m doing and walk away.”

The Central Saanich artist’s fascination with glass blowing began 15 years ago in college when he befriended the onsite glass blower in his chem-istry lab.

“He showed me glass blowing,” Windsor said. “Then I met the guy with colour.”

The clear-glass work of lab pieces couldn’t com-pete, and Windsor didn’t look back (though scien-tific glassware remains a Plan B).

Growing up, Windsor says he bored easily.“Being smart was a curse,” he said. “I’d attain

the knowledge and lose interest.” Chemistry offered some depth, new challenges.

The colour and flame offer more.“With glass, it’s limitless,” he said. “I am con-

stantly learning and adapting and changing my style.”

His first few years were spent making ends meet creating wholesale curios, but his style led to some significant commissions in the US and Canada.

In an Atlanta, Georgia hospital, six-foot tall Chas-ing Rainbows creates a sea of glass in a rainbow of colours floating down 16 feet of wall space. Installed late last year, it took him 18 months to create the 600 pieces and a week of graveyard shifts to install.

“I wanted to build something where every per-son coming in will say ‘wow’ and be uplifted,” he explained. “Healthy people don’t go there, chasing rainbows is what people do in a hospital.”

The American market provided success, but with a waning economy, he’s looking to be a little more local.

“Now I’m selling a lot of jewelry and artifacts

related to wine,” he said. Behind him barrels provide evidence of the

other art brewing at De Vine Vineyards where Windsor’s wife Natalie is the vintner. Among the seven new artists on the Community Arts Council of the Saanich Peninsula’s fall studio tour, Wind-sor’s stop on the tour will offer a grape escape as well as creative genius. Visitors will sip comple-mentary wine beneath his 250-peice, three-foot by

two-foot glass chandelier Moonstruck. Aside from the jewelry, stoppers and glasses

he’s still looking to light up some lives, with smaller chandeliers.

“It’s all fun,” he said with a grin. “I play with fire and colour. This is a wonderful job.”

James McNulty is putting his name forward for the first time for a seat on Central Saanich council. He believes his experi-ence in his family’s businesses, Five Star Paving and Island View Golf Centre, gives him a strong understanding of business and industrial needs in the commu-nity, as well as a solid knowledge of economic needs.

In particular, he said he is “deeply concerned with the cur-rent state of the Keating Indus-trial Park” and hopes to see a revitalization of industry in that area. He questions the rationale, laid out in the Local Government Act, behind having council mem-

bers who do not live, own prop-erty or run businesses in Central Saanich.

McNulty’s business has sup-ported numerous community projects, such as Boulders Climbing Gym at Stelly’s School as well as personal initiatives such as Fight Against Hunger in 2008 to feed Victoria’s homeless people. He said he believes in dealing with today’s issues with-out losing sight of the future.

He said he is “upset by the trend towards less transparency within council,” and would like to see more open communica-tion with the public.

McNulty said he is “the only

candidate representing the next generation of Central Saanich policymakers” so would bring a new perspective to council. He hopes to be a driving force behind the inclusion of the younger generation in commu-nity decisions.

“I’m passionate about my community, my family, and my business, and I want to ensure the best for them for now and for the future,” he said.

McNulty aims for council

Daly runs in North SaanichTed Daly added his name to

those seeking a seat on North Saanich council.

Daly served six years as mayor of North Saanich, until ousted by the pres-ent mayor, Alice Finall. Prior to his two terms as mayor, he was a council-lor in North Saanich for three years, and served as a Sidney councillor for nine years. He served as Capital Regional District director for six years, and was a member of the Peninsula Recreation Commis-sion for 15 years.

He said, once more details are

known and extensive public con-sultation has been held, he would

support revitalization of the Sandown Race-way lands. He also sup-ports additional housing options for young fami-lies and seniors in North Saanich, adding that this would ensure “a bal-anced community.”

Daly also advocates a thorough review of the munici-pal budget and he would like to see a continuation of the expan-sion of the bike path network in the municipality.

He has extensive experience

in the local community, having been zone coordinator for the Kidney Foundation of Canada for 12 years, a 15-year member of the Sidney Little League asso-ciation, and parade coordina-tor for Peninsula Celebrations Society’s Canada Day and Santa Claus parades for the past three years. He was also named Victo-ria Sportsman of the year.

Daly retired in 2006 from his position as a senior labour rela-tions consultant with the Health Employers Association of British Columbia, a job he had held for 18 years.

Liam Cooper’s lead-ing issue in his cam-paign for a seat on Cen-tral Saanich council is the need for greater fiscal reponsibility in that municipal-ity. He said the municipal bor-rowing ceiling for debt has risen from zero to around $14 million during the pres-ent council’s three-year term.

“We must learn to live within our means in these difficult economic times,” he said. “I recog-nize we just can’t defer infrastructure invest-ment to future councils, however, people just can’t handle further tax hikes to pay debt costs.”

“There are lots of folks like me who’d like to have their voices heard in the way our

community is devel-oped and taxed.”

Rejuvenation of the Keating area is another

of his cam-paign plat-forms. “It is unfortunate that council wasn’t able to structure a solution that kept the Co-op e x p a n s i o n

on Keating. Ceratainly that is what the Official Community Plan envis-aged.”

He believes the reju-venation of that area would generate local jobs, as well as forming a wider tax base for the municipality.

“We need to ensure other areas of the dis-trict are not left behind,” he added. “There are lots of residents from a variety of age groups looking for decent work closer to home.”

Cooper has a B.A. from University of Cali-fornia Santa Cruz and an MA. He is currently working to complete his Juris Doctorate at UVic, specializing in municipal and provin-cial law. He also has work experience as a teacher, researcher, fundraiser and commu-nity organizer.

“I’d like the chance to be a fresh voice on council, with no bag-gage from the past three years,” he said.

Allan Collier is switching his focus from school district to municipal pol-itics. After serving as school trustee since 2009, he is now running for North Saanich council.

“My decision was influenced by many friends and neigh-bours in North Saanich who have been encouraging me to run for council. They believe my experience, initia-tive and thoughtful approach to issues will serve the com-munity well.”

Collier, who has an MBA from UBC, has a strong back-ground in policy develop-ment and program management at both the federal and provincial gov-ernment levels.

He has participated in the life of North Saanich for many years start-ing with the Dean Park Estates Com-

munity Association in the early 1990s, Parent Advisory Councils during his daughter’s time in North Saanich schools, Chair of Peninsula Cross-roads Community Justice Program, North Saanich Advisory Planning

Commission, participation in St. John’s United Church in Deep Cove and, most recently, school trustee.

“I had three objectives as a trustee,” he said. “(To) strengthen the relationship between the Board and community, secure more money for public education in SD63 and ensure Board

policies serve students, school and the community.” He said all three of those objectives were advanced in the past two years.

He said his focus for North Saan-ich would be on enhancement of

On any given day, have a look around – zombies are everywhere. No, it’s not Halloween quite yet, but have our cellphones and other mobile devices turned us into mind-less drones?

During Thanksgiving long week-end, I was waiting at the BC Ferries terminal coming back from a trip to the Main-land. Everywhere I looked, twenty-somethings and younger were walking with their heads down, narrowly avoiding mid-hallway collisions while fixated on the glowing screens of their iPhones, iPods, iPads and the occa-sional BlackBerry.

According to a report from the American-based Kaiser Family Foundation last year, the increase in cell phone ownership for eight to 18-year-olds jumped from 39 to 66 per cent in five years. For MP3 players and the like, it went from 18 per cent to 76 per cent.

Going hand-in-hand, Internet use is also on the rise – a Statistics Canada survey says 80 per cent of Canadians aged 16 and older used the Internet for personal reasons in 2009. Victoria had the honour of being one of the Canadian cities with the highest use rates at 86 per cent.

I am by no means innocent in the matter. In fact, I have, at one point or another, probably owned almost every modern Apple product cre-ated.

My iPhone 3GS is the last thing I see before I go to sleep (ensuring it’s plugged in because there’s noth-ing conceivably worse than head-ing out to face the day with a dead phone) and the first thing I see when I wake up (fervently checking for new emails and LOL-filled text

messages).Maybe it’s because in

this era of immediacy, we are trained to feel we always have to be in the know: to know exactly when and where some-thing is happening, the second it happens. Try taking yourself off Face-book for a month and see how many missed birth-day parties and house-warmings ensue.

In the spirit of healthy experimentation, I decided to see what life would be like for 48 hours with no personal cellphone or Inter-net access.

Day one: In the morning, my hand instinc-

tively reached for the turned-off iPhone on my desk at home before leaving for work. I stopped myself, gave it one last longing look, and left. Luckily it was an extraordinarily busy and long day at work, and I didn’t have much of a chance to miss my cell. The only visible symp-toms were a subconscious dart-ing of my eyes trying to locate the missing device, and restless fingers likely due to texting withdrawal.

At home, things were slightly easier. I was fortunate to have other distractions to take my mind off my phone, namely television. I wasn’t about to cut that out, too – after all, I was curious, not crazy.

Day two:The only time my old habits

kicked in during the morning was when I was about to look up a phone number on my cell that I needed to call. I realized without it, I wouldn’t be able to get a hold of anyone besides a handful of friends whose house numbers I memorized as a child.

As the afternoon wore on at the office, there was a certain calm that fell over me. Knowing my phone was out of reach, I didn’t have the urge to constantly check it (during breaks, of course) for updates. I became more focused at work and was able to free my mind for more productive thoughts, like what to make for dinner.

At night, I barely gave my iPhone a second thought and I even did a little light reading. The lesson I learned is that almost anyone – at least those that weren’t born in the Internet generation – should be capable of weaning themselves off these self-imposed shackles of mod-ern society. Mere hours later, how-ever, I breathed a quiet sigh of relief as I saw the silver apple logo flicker to life on the 3.5-inch touchscreen.

Good week for Victoria economy

With economic gloom casting shadows over so much of the world, it was good to have two sunny announcements in Greater Victoria this week.

On Tuesday, the World Curling Federation announced the city will once again host the international men’s championship in 2013.

The last time Victoria played host to this event was when Save-On Foods Memorial Centre had just opened its doors in 2005.

More than 115,000 people attended matches during the competition, giving area businesses an estimated $20.4 million boost.

The 2013 event promises to increase the international exposure of the city as the competition will be televised in all 12 countries that are participating. That boon to marketing will undoubtedly pay dividends for everyone who make a living from tourism.

But the even bigger news came the next day after the federal government unveiled the winners of its gargantuan shipbuilding sweepstakes.

Victoria missed out on the astronomical $22 billion contract awarded to Halifax for new warships. But the selection of North Vancouver-based Seaspan for the $8 million civilian ship contract is no drop in the bucket.

The company controls shipyards here as well as Vancouver and local workers will reap tremendous benefits from this contract.

Among the ships that will be built and tested on the West Coast is the John G. Diefenbaker polar ice breaker, which will be as long as 140 metres.

This impressive ship along with Arctic offshore patrol vessels, including four oceanographic science ships and three fisheries science vessels to built in a relatively open process.

The Diefenbaker, budgeted at $720-million, will serve to inspire industry, the public and the scientific community and give B.C.’s economy a welcome shot in the arm.

I’m not the only one unhappy with economic systems based on constant growth and endlessly increasing exploitation of finite resources – systems that concentrate wealth in the

hands of a few while so many people struggle.

Since Sept. 17, protests have spread from New York to a growing number of cities across the United States, Europe, and Canada, in a movement dubbed “Occupy Wall Street.”

The protesters’ aims aren’t always clear; in some case they seem downright incoherent or absurd – such as calls

for open border policies and increased trade tariffs at the same time.

It’s interesting that those credited with spurring the movement did so with a single question: “What is our one demand?” The question was first posed in Vancouver by Adbustersmagazine.

Editor Kalle Lasn said the campaign was launched as an invitation to act more than an attempt to get an answer. Focusing on a single demand may or may not be a useful exercise, but the conversation itself is necessary. Thanks to the attention these protests are generating, union leaders, students, workers, and others have a public forum to raise questions about our current economic systems.

Why have governments spent trillions of dollars in taxpayers’ money to bail out financial institutions, many of which fought any notion of government regulation or

social assistance, while doing nothing for people who had life savings wiped out or lost homes through foreclosure?

And why have governments not at least demanded that the institutions demonstrate some ecological and social responsibility in return?

Why do developed nations still give tax breaks to the wealthiest few while children go hungry and working people and the unemployed see wages, benefits, and opportunities dwindle – and while infrastructure crumbles and access to good health care and education diminishes?

Why are we rapidly exploiting finite resources and destroying precious natural systems for the sake of short-term profit and unsustainable economic growth?

What will we do when oil runs out or becomes too difficult or expensive to extract if we haven’t taken the time to reduce our demands for energy and shift to cleaner sources?

Why does our economic system place a higher value on disposable and often unnecessary goods and services than on the things we really need to survive and be healthy, like clean air, clean water and productive soil?

Sure, there’s some contradiction in protesters carrying iPhones while railing against the consumer system. But this is not just about making personal changes and sacrifices; it’s about questioning our place on this planet.

In less than a century, the human population has grown exponentially, from 1.5 billion to seven billion. That’s been matched by rapid growth in technology and products, resource exploitation, and knowledge.

The pace and manner of

development have led to a reliance on fossil fuels, to the extent that much of our infrastructure supports products such as cars and their fuels to keep the cycle of profits and wealth concentration going.

Our current economic systems are relatively new – methods we’ve devised both to deal with the challenge of production and distribution for rapidly expanding populations and to exploit the opportunities.

It may seem like there’s no hope for change, but we have to remember that most of these developments are recent, and that humans are capable of innovation, creativity and foresight.

Despite considerable opposition, most countries recognized at some point that abolishing slavery had goals that transcended economic considerations, such as enhancing human rights and dignity – and it didn’t destroy the economy in the end, as supporters of slavery feared.

I don’t know if the Occupy Wall Street protests will lead to anything. Surely there will be backlash. And although I wouldn’t compare these protests to those taking place in the Middle East, they all show that when people have had enough of inequality, of the negative and destructive consequences of decisions made by people in power, we have a responsibility to come together and speak out.

The course of human history is constantly changing. It’s up to all of us to join the conversation to help steer it to a better path than the one we are on.

Maybe our one demand should be of ourselves: care enough to do something.

OPINION

Readers respond: Family Day, Occupy protests

Not everyone will sleep in on Family Day

Re: We’re still waiting for Family Day (The Gen Y Lens, Oct. 7)

I’d like to point out to Kyle Slavin that the only people sleeping in on Family Day across the country will be government employees, teachers, bank employees (although even that is changing) and the others fortunate enough to work a Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., work week.

Many more will be scrambling to find babysitting arrangements for young children who would normally be in school so they can go to their jobs in the many stores and businesses that are open seven days a week.

Of course, these same places are open so that those lucky enough to have the day off can spend it shopping.

Mainstream media slow off the mark

Thank you for running your story: Occupy Victoria takes direct aim at money, banking (News, Oct. 14).

I realize there are many aspects to the problem, more complicated than the majority of us understand, and I have been slowly grasping what this is all about.

I felt your story had a good summary of the situation.

It was good to see that our Occupy Victoria had an organizer.

I think the protesters in New York need for a spokesperson to get a clear message out there telling the public exactly what they stand for.

The protest in New York has actually been going on for a month already, but mainstream media in New York apparently did not pick up the story back then.

This is the reason my husband has taken to watching news on the Internet instead of mainstream media.

Susan FernandezSaanich

Nothing wrong with rewarding hard work

I’ve watched the “occupy” protests on TV, and after watching many interviews it seems there are as many reasons people are protesting as there are people.

The underlying theme though seems to be the disparity of the have’s and have not’s, the wealthy and poor, the expanding divide and a need to change the system.

And I ask, what’s wrong with a system that allows a grocery clerk like Alex Campbell Sr. to grow a chain of successful grocery businesses, employing thousands of people and investing millions of dollars

into the community? What’s wrong with a

system that allows a fired car salesman like Jimmy Pattison to create an empire, again employing thousands of people and investing millions into the community?

The system is open to anyone who is prepared to work hard, innovate and take some risks.

Look at what Apple founder Steve Jobs did for the world.

He quit school and worked out of his garage. He worked hard and created value for many.

These people worked hard all their lives, even though they could have retired long before their time. They’re not greedy, and they’ve been rewarded for bringing so much to so many.

The other question I have to ask is: if we’re going to change the system, what are we going to change to?

BC Parks is turning 100 and is inviting the com-munity to join in the celebration. If you enjoyed salmon roasted the traditional Coast Salish way, as offered in the first two events, you’ll like it with vegetables cooked in the pit as well. This will be just one of the features offered at an event at Tod Inlet on Saturday, Oct. 22 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

It’s the final of three events held by by the SeaChange Marine Conservation Society celebrat-ing history, culture and science related to Tod Inlet. Along with the barbecue, there will be a trea-sure hunt for children and craft-making. A model of the Tod Creek watershed will be on display, and at 11 a.m. there will be an ethno-botanical tour. Bring along memories about the inlet for inclusion in the Saanich Inlet and Peninsula Coastal Commu-nity Map project. Stay for the food, which will be ready sometime around noon.

This is an area rich in a diverse history. Local First Nations lived here for generations and referred to the land around Tod Inlet as SNIT-CEL (pronounced “sneak with”) which translates into Place of the Blue Grouse. They continue to practice their rights under the Douglas Treaty. Pioneers and Chinese workers lived in the area for more than 50 years, starting in the early 1900s.

Anyone who wants to bring root vegetables to cook in the pit is asked to have them on site by 9 a.m. Bring your own dishes and drink, pack gar-bage and recyclables back out with you, and keep dogs on a leash.

For more information, call the SeaChange Marine Conservation Society at 250-652-1662 or email [email protected].

Updates will be posted at www.seachangesoci-ety.wordpress.com.

Two little dogs yip and yap at the front door. In the dining room small train tracks laid out on the room table indicate a project underway. An unused walker stands nearby.

It’s an active household for a man who turns 100 on Sunday, Oct. 23.

“I’m the dog sitter,” explains John Bell, shooing Heidi and Mocha toward the living room.

At 100 he keeps active. “I get up and look outside. Then I

read the obituaries to see if it’s got John Bell in it. And if they haven’t, I’ve got it made,” he said with a laugh.

“I live on humour, you have to have a positive outlook on everything … there’s a time and a place for seri-ous. I don’t care if they laugh at me or with me, as long as they laugh.”

Bell has lived in Sidney for nine years, after spending his working life as a plan checker in Edmonton.

“That was a real good job,” he said. “I’d like to still work, but nobody will listen to me at 100 years of age, even if I did it for free.”

So his days are spent dog sitting, hanging out with friends at the Mount Newton Centre and of course there’s

the electric train project set for this winter. The eldest of seven boys and one girl, Bell also spends time typing out his storied history on the top-of-the-line computer he got for his 99th birthday. They include memories of Victoria during the Depression and as a teen working as a news agent on the Canadian National Railway.

Bell’s hit a healthy 100; he doesn’t wear glasses or hearing aids, and keeps the walker handy only because others prefer it.

“I choose to not drive, but I keep my license,” he said.

Bell opts to tool around town in a little red hardtop scooter.

“I wanted to get a rumble seat on it in case I get a girlfriend,” he said, with a quick turn to sombre.

Eva, his wife of 73 years, died in March.

“She was a wonderful woman … best person I ever met,” he said. “Best looking woman I’ve ever seen.”

With three children, five grand-

children (“and my grandson’s a grandfather”), the 100th birth-day party should be a bash. A dual citizen, Bell is also sav-ing a pair of cards to open that day, that appear to be from the Queen and US president.

He’s invited a fellow centenar-ian from nearby Abbeyfield for his big birthday party.

He plans to enjoy his 100th year as much as the first 99.

“My father always taught me life is to be enjoyed and you can do what you want as long as you don’t harm anybody else,” he said.

ARTSChristine van ReeuwykNews staff

Larry Hanlon has a passion for sculpture. The Peninsula Gallery owner even took a few classes.

“I was useless at it,” he said. While the craft of creating a work of art

may elude him, spotting, promoting, and pairing the right piece with its owner are something he’s become adept at over more than two decades.

This fall Hanlon, along with wife Gillian Hanlon, will celebrate 25 years of Peninsula Gallery, 20 of them in Sidney’s Landmark Building.

“Larry has a particular love of sculpture,” Gillian said. “He says if you don’t have sculpture you’re a picture gallery not an art gallery.”

Larry started the venture 25 years ago with business partner Ron Otteson, open-ing the gallery and framing shop in the then-new Mariner Village Mall. Five years later expansion called, and they moved to sea-side end of Beacon Avenue. Unfortunately Otteson died shortly thereafter. But then the framing art of Elma Tankink came to the scene.

“She has a following,” Gillian said. “People come up from the States for it.”

Tankink does about 95 per cent of the framing of artworks in the Peninsula Gal-lery. With an eye for artwork, she creates individual framing for each piece, making

the most of each work. Gillian began help-ing out at home, and about 13 years ago started working there full time. The busi-ness has slowly transitioned from framing and prints, to primarily originals. Including the ever-popular Robert Bateman.

A Peninsula Gallery Bateman show in 2000 saw art lovers filling the streets and busi-nesses of Sidney. It brought 17,000 people through the gallery over a 10-day period.

“A lot more people and a lot more artists

know us,” Larry said. Though fame is not the game. It’s about joy and love.“To love coming to work every day, that’s

special,” Gillian said.It’s pairing a person with the perfect

piece, whether it’s a university student will-ing to make payments for 18 months to start her art collection at a young age, a teen seeking out the perfect gift for mom and dad, or someone hoping to spend his

small inheritance on a work that will remind him of grandpa.

“People get so much joy,” Gillian said. “It’s exciting to be a part of that whole relation-ship.”

Some simply stare at a piece of sculpture, or framed original on the walls of Peninsula Gallery and return to find it gone. Others seize that flash of desire, and some need sussing out.

One potential customer sent an email describing perfectly a small artwork they’d seen “several years ago” in the corner win-dow of Peninsula Gallery. He could describe it clearly, as if the image haunted him. He wanted it.

Larry knows the work, and can picture it as well, on the wall of its owner.

They’ll celebrate 25 years with a show featuring 25 artists including Jack Kreutzer, Carol Gold, Brent Cooke, Gail Johnson, Philip Buytendorp, Kristina Boardman, Den-nis Magnusson and Robert Bateman. Many of the 25 artists on display will be on hand for opening night tonight.

“The artists have really done some inter-esting things,” Larry said.

Among them, a little silver inlay in honour of the silver anniversary, sculpture in jubi-lant form, and the unusual, utilitarian coat hook sculptures.

The anniversary show opens with a reception tonight, Oct. 21 from 7 to 9 p.m. The show runs to Nov. 4.

Travis PatersonNews staff

Eight years ago the World Men’s Curling Cham-pionships was the first act of any kind to grace the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre. Now get

ready for act two. On Tuesday, the

World Curling Federa-tion and the Canadian Curling Association announced Victoria will again host the World Men’s Championships from March 30 to April 7, 2013.

The idea to bring it back was Keith Dagg’s. He chaired the 2005 event and is co-chairing the 2013 host committee with Chris Atchison.

“(In 2005) we literally finished the building the night before we needed it,” Dagg said.

“But the ice was great and we sold out 17 of the 22 draws — total sellouts — and that’s one of the reasons it’s coming back here.”

A third-party report completed later in 2005 priced the economic impact of the World Men’s Championships at $20.4 million to Greater Victo-ria. “It should generate at least that,” Dagg said of the 2013 event.

But Rob Gialloreto, president and CEO of Tour-ism Victoria, said “it’s hard to predict if it will replicate the ($20 million) impact. We’re hopeful that it will.”

The greatest boost to business comes from curling fans visiting from up-Island, Western Can-ada and the U.S.

“In 2005 there wasn’t much television cover-age, just some CBC,” Dagg noted, “But this time TSN will be broadcasting live, worldwide for eight straight days, to all 12 countries.”

Tickets for the 2013 World Men’s champion-ships will likely go on sale in March.

Bach with Bazzana is a highlight of the week for Brenda Whitting-ham.

The University of Vic-toria course, offered at the Mary Winspear cen-tre, breaks up her vol-unteer day with a little musical education.

The UVic courses are among the variety of offerings at the com-munity cultural centre that celebrates 10 years this fall, and Whitting-ham’s been a volunteer with the centre from the start.

“I wanted to make some sort of a contri-bution to make sure that it succeeded,” she explained. “I’m a very community ori-ented person, I believe that every community needs a community centre. The one that we had, Sanscha Hall, was fine for many years, but it needed upgrading.”

In 1995, a proposal call went out to build a new facility, with an estimated cost of $6 million funded through

an impressive Honour-ing the Past - Building the Future fundrais-ing campaign by the Sanscha Community Cultural Centre Foun-dation. To honour San-scha Hall and its volun-teers, the new centre was built around the original hall, upgrad-ing it acoustically and seismographically. In September 2001, the Mary Winspear Centre

opened its doors to an excited, proud commu-nity.

That project came to fruition; the Mary Win-spear Community Cul-tural Centre celebrates a decade this year, and Whittingham celebrates 10 years of offering her time.

“(It’s the) good peo-ple to work with, and I like what I do,” Whit-tingham said. “For a

while there I was doing things like the mail and answering the phone, and of course usher-ing and doing front of house at the theatre.”

The Mary Winspear Community Cultural Centre features a the-atre, various meeting rooms and a hall that she calls perfect for community gatherings.

“The community, I think they’re like me, they want to express how they feel about their community,” Whittingham said of the many meetings held in the Bodine Fam-ily hall. It’s been the site of open houses, all-can-didates meetings come election time, shows and conventions.

The 30,000 square foot, wheelchair acces-sible centre is the site of the annual Christmas dinner, weekly yoga and many an art show. The Charlie White The-atre down the hall is always alive with music and live theatre, and is Whittingham’s favou-rite volunteer gig.

As an usher she inter-acts with theatre-goers from across the Penin-sula, Victoria and the Gulf Islands.

“I get to talk to peo-ple, help them find their seats,” she said.

Whittingham is among those who attend class there, her favourite is with Brent-wood Bay music his-torian and biographer Kevin Bazzana. It’s just one of the many courses offered through the University of Victo-ria. “It’s a highlight for me certainly,” she said. “That’s great to have that so close to us.”

Whittingham plans to continue her volunteer work at what she sees as a hub of activity.

“The fact that there is a living, active com-munity centre serv-ing this portion of the Peninsula and it’s used very well, that’s a very positive thing,” Whit-tingham said. “It’s just a positive place, good staff, good people to work with and the com-munity uses it.”

The Mary Winspear plans to celebrate with a gala on Oct. 22. The Swiftsure Big Band will perform. Tickets, $55, are available through the box office, 250-656-0275. Proceeds to the Children’s Arts and Cul-ture Fund.

Ten-year volunteer Brenda Whittingham relaxes a moment in the Charlie White Theatre before embarking on a busy Thursday at the Mary Winspear Community Cultural Centre.

Centre celebrates decadeDid you know?� The new facility was named after the inspirational Mary Winspear. William Winspear, her nephew, was a very generous contributor to the campaign in honour of Mary who dedicated her life to educating youth and retired to the Peninsula.

� In 1928, a 12-acre North Saanich War Memorial Park was established by the Memorial Park Society in dedication to the local men lost in the First World War.


Up to 80% of all women are expected to experience symptoms of PMS during their reproductive years.Take a well-balanced, natural approach to excessive estrogen – the most common cause of hormonal imbalance. Resulting from exposure to factors such as birth control pills, pesticides and other environmental toxins, the symptoms can include PMS, endometriosis, fibrocystic breast disease, heavy and painful periods and hormonal acne. EstroSense® is recommended by health professionals and contains natural ingredients to help reduce the symptoms of estrogen dominance.

During menopause and peri-menopause, up to 80% of all women will experience mild to moderate symptoms and up to 15% will experience severe symptoms.

The term menopause means one year with no menstrual cycle. Peri-menopause is the 10-15 years leading up to menopause. Both can result in unwelcome symptoms. MenoSense® contains natural ingredients to help relieve symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, poor sleep, irritability, nervousness, headaches and moodiness. MenoSense® is approved by Health Canada for treatment of symptoms of menopause including hot flashes and night sweats.

Starting at age 21, collagen diminishes 1% per year.By age 30, the signs of reduced collagen on skin, hair and nails become visible and the effect on bones and joints can be measurable. BioSil’s patented ch-OSA® complex helps your body to generate its own collagen to provide support for fewer fine lines and wrinkles; stronger, healthy and thicker hair; stronger nails; denser and more flexible bones.

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Friday, October 21, 2011 www.peninsulanewsreview.com • A17PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Friday, October 21, 2011 www.peninsulanewsreview.com • A17

As I write this col-umn, Canadian equity markets have officially reached Bear Market status – generally con-sidered to be a drop of 20 per cent or more in a market index.

Many of us, our financial plans built on average total return expectations of six to seven per cent annu-ally over the long term, can’t help but wonder – when will this current negative trend reverse? Although no easy answer exists, history can perhaps provide some reassurance.

Since the mid-‘50s the TSX Composite Index has experienced 12 bull markets. The average duration was 44 months with an average gain over each upturn of 120 per cent. During the same 55 years, we have experi-enced 13 bear markets with an average dura-tion of nine months, and an average loss of 28 per cent. Clearly, those who remained invested throughout this period have done very well indeed.

Our most recent experience occurred in 2008/2009. Over a period of just a few months, the market fell a dramatic 43 per cent. After only nine months of the worst recession since the great depres-sion, the market turned bullish and rebounded by a spectacular 50 per cent.

Since March of this year, the TSX has once again fallen back into bear market territory. No one knows when the bottom will be reached. Predicting the timing of a traditional mar-ket turn is impossible. However, both events are bound to occur, as they always have.

It is important to remember that until we actually sell the securities, a downturn does not translate into a loss. In the interim, with a well-designed portfolio, significant dividends and interest continue to accrue and purchase more invest-

ments at the much lower market values. As well, those portfolios with a suitable compo-nent of fixed-income products moderate the overall negative effect of the equity market’s decline.

Different about the current decline is that corporate profits and dividends remain at all-time highs, with inter-est rates at all-time lows – not the usual environ-ment triggering a bear market. The root cause of the current problem is twofold: one, clearly the procrastination of policy-makers in the U.S. to agree on a cred-ible plan for managing their country’s deficit and debt problem; and two, in Europe, efforts to formulate and imple-ment a credible plan to control and hopefully solve, the sovereign debt problems of not only Greece, but also Portugal, Spain and Italy.

Equity markets abhor uncertainty and politi-cal posturing in the face of major issues. We are seeing the result. One hopes the world-wide market reaction to this dithering by U.S. and European politicians will force them to act quickly and decisively. When they finally pro-vide conclusive leader-ship, the markets will once again respond positively.

While we each must make financial deci-sions given our per-sonal circumstances, much conclusive research has shown that investors who jump in and out of the market in an attempt to improve their returns usually achieve far

worse long-term results than do those who stay the course. An attempt to time market turns is pure guesswork.

In the meantime I continue to wait, hopeful that history will once again repeat itself, preferably sooner rather than later. I take comfort in the fact that despite several major downturns over the last 10 years, the TSX Index has nevertheless produced an average annual total return of eight per cent.

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Friday, October 21, 2011 www.peninsulanewsreview.com • A21PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Friday, October 21, 2011 www.peninsulanewsreview.com • A21

With more than a few great ghost stories fl oating about the city, there are few better places than Victoria to celebrate the Hal-

loween season.

Be a Halloween Tour-istLearn about Ross Bay Cemetery’s ghosts, includ-

ing one-time landowner Isabella Ross and David Fee, who was murdered one Christmas Eve, during the an-nual Old Cemeteries Society Ghost Tour from 1 to 3 p.m. Oct. 30. For details, call 250-598-8870.

For 17 years, the Old Cemeteries Society has also hosted Ghost Bus-tours, two-hour coach tours past Victoria’s most haunted places, taking a different route each year. Join the fun Oct. 22, 28, 29 and 30, with tickets available from Tourism Victoria at 250-953-2033.

At St. Ann’s Academy, a former convent school, explore Voices from the Past – life, death and unex-plained phenomena at this 153-year-old historic site – Oct. 21, 22, 28 and 29 at 6 and 8 p.m. Call 250-953-8828 for information.

Local historian John Adams presents his popular Ghostly Walks year-round, but the Halloween tours are especially popular, exploring the haunted alleys and courtyards of downtown Victoria. During the Halloween period, Oct. 21 to 31, tours leave from the lobby of the Bedford Regency Hotel at 6:30, 7:30, 8:30 and 9:30 p.m. No reservations are needed, but call 250-384-6698 or check www.discoverthepast.com for details.

Halloween Night in the MuseumsCraigdarroch Castle marks the season with Gig-

gling Iguana’s presentation of the Edgar Allen Poe classic, The Fall of the House of Usher on selected evenings through Oct. 31. Visit www.thecastle.ca for details.

Poe is the subject as well for Urban Arts Productions’ presentation of Nevermore, a bold, haunting musical, staged in the original Supreme Courtroom of B.C., on the third fl oor of the Maritime Museum of British Columbia. Nevermore runs Oct. 27 to 29 and Nov. 3 to 5. Tickets are available at the door one hour prior to the 8 p.m. performance.

Halloween Happenings

around the RegionJennifer BlythBlack Press

Also this month is the museum’s popular Ghost Tours, including chilling tales of ghostly sightings and sounds at the museum. Be careful...you may even catch a glimpse of the famous “Hanging Judge” who it’s said still wanders the third fl oor. Admission is $13 per per-son for the 6 p.m. tours. Ghost Tours run Oct. 20 to 23 and Oct. 27 to 30.

Out and About Halloween will bring out the spooky side of the otherwise quaint Oak Bay Vil-

lage, when Pumpkin Art, “North America’s largest intricately carved pumpkin dis-play”, comes to town. The back of the Oak Bay Municipal Hall will be transformed as hundreds of pumpkins carved by pumpkin artist John Vickers are displayed, Oct. 28 to 31 from 5 to 10 p.m. From the spooky to the amusing to the thought-provoking, popular displays such as the royal family, cartoon characters and local personalities will be joined by two dozen new pumpkins carved for the Oak Bay unveiling. Admission is by donation with proceeds supporting Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock.
