Province won’t reverse course on interchange

Travis Paterson News Staff

Saanich council took a better-late-than-never stance on Monday in supporting a pair of resolutions that respond to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure’s cloverleaf design of the McKenzie interchange going into Cuthbert Holmes Park.

But it was a third motion, from Coun. Vic Derman, to call on the ministry to reconsider the cloverleaf interchange proposal in favour of a diamond proposal that drew a provincial reaction on Tuesday.

“They could easily reconsider, it’s an existing design that will probably accomplish the same thing, and they don’t

have to sit down and do a new design, they just need to switch,” said Derman.

The cloverleaf was announced as the final design concept on April 26 for the $85 million McKenzie interchange. It’s brought a bitter response from councillors and residents alike as it will encroach on nesting areas for migratory and native birds, and move closer to the salmon-bearing Colquitz River.

“The cloverleaf is the most damaging and disruptive interchange option to Cuthbert Holmes, and we are not sure it will make a difference to the amount of traffic on McKenzie,” Derman said in the motion.

Mayor Richard Atwell and Couns. Leif Wergeland and Susan Brice voted against the motion.

Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Todd Stone said he was surprised by the move from Saanich, and

added the interchange is fundamentally critical for the South Island, and in terms of traffic, it’s good for the environment.

“We’re going to stick with this particular plan,” Stone said. “I want to say clearly to residents around Cuthbert Holmes Park and Saanich that we’ll work with them to ensure impacts are mitigated as much as possible.”

However, despite coming two weeks after the announcement, multiple councillors said they weren’t told the cloverleaf was going to happen.

“We would have liked to have seen more respect from the ministry to explain what they think worked and didn’t work from the community groups, but there was no response,” said Coun. Fred Haynes about the interchange’s public consultation process. “I am sincerely disappointed, I didn’t know about the [cloverleaf] until the day it was announced publicly.”

Council’s first resolution from Monday is to support the Saanich community groups and park stakeholders who were dismayed with the announcement. To do so, council will send a letter to the ministry asking for the intersection proposal submitted by the Gorge Tillicum Community Association to be given a response, if not a serious look.

Brice and Wergeland were among those contending it was too late to be approaching the ministry now and it would be best to just accept the cloverleaf.

Brice chairs the Parks, Trails and Recreation advisory committee which also submitted a resolution, a direction for staff to work closely with the ministry to minimize the impact on the park and work within the Cuthbert Holmes 2015 park management plan.

Observatory plans out-of-this world celebrationJacob ZinnNews Staff

Curious stargazers and professional astronomers will be looking to the sky Saturday as Saanich celebrates International Astronomy Day with a jam-packed series of events from the morning until late at night.

The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada Victoria Centre has a full day of out-of-this-world activities at the Royal B.C. Museum and atop Observatory Hill at the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory and the Centre of the Universe.

“It’s an opportunity to do some public outreach about our hobby, but it’s also more than a hobby,” said Chris Gainor, first vice-president of the RASC. “Victoria is kind of a space city in a sense because you have this facility here, which is a world-class facility with some top flight astronomers.”

The day starts at the museum at 10 a.m., where the universally inquisitive can safely view the sun through solar telescopes and see the RASC’s “Walk Among the Planets” display. The museum’s Clifford Hall will host telescope, mirror grinding, astrophotography and historical displays, and RASC volunteers and Science Venture students from the University of Victoria will engage children with hands-on activities.

Then, as the sun sets, the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory will open its doors for tours of the historic Plaskett Telescope from 8 to 11 p.m., hosted by the RASC Victoria and NRC Herzberg.

“The weather has to co-operate on the night, but rain or shine, there will be tours inside the dome,” said Gainor. “You can go in and see the big

scope, and if it’s not raining, we’ll probably move it around and you can see it in the control room.”

Likewise, the Centre of the Universe exhibits will be available for public viewing, and RASC members will have personal telescopes set up for public viewing if weather permits.

“People looking through a telescope for the first time, it’s generally a ‘Wow’ experience – we see pictures of things, but it’s just a little different when you’re seeing it with your own eyes,” said Gainor, adding it’s a great time of year to take in the planets.

“Jupiter is quite prominent

right now, and as we get into the summer, Mars is going to be up and Saturn will be coming along later on.”

Additionally, the museum’s Newcombe Conference Hall will host two lectures, scheduled for 1 and 2 p.m., and astronomer Ivar Arroway will be on Observatory Hill for a lecture on the Kuiper Belt at the edge of our solar system at 8 p.m.

All of the astronomy presentations, displays and workshops are free, but regular admission charges apply to the permanent galleries of the Royal B.C. Museum and the IMAX theatre.

Due to past parking issues on the observatory grounds,

the RASC Victoria has set up ticketed admission to the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory and Centre of the Universe. The tickets are free and can be obtained online at https://summerstarparties.eventbrite.ca. Visitors with tickets are welcome to start arriving at 7:30 p.m.

The RASC Victoria is also hosting other public stargazing events at the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory on Saturday nights throughout the summer, with dates set for May 21 and 28; June 4 and 11; July 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30; and Aug. 6, 13 and 20.

For more information, visit www.victoria.rasc.ca.


Chris Gainor, first vice-president of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, will be looking to the stars on Saturday night as the RASC celebrates International Astronomy Day. The group has scheduled events at the Royal B.C. Museum and the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory, running from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m.


If Uber’s hoping to pry into the Lower Island market, it can expect to have a tough time in Saanich.

Council voted 8-1 to write a letter to Translink Minister Peter Fassbender, who is responsible for consultations on Uber, in support of a provincial review of the ride-sourcing economy.

Coun. Fred Haynes brought a report to council on Uber and the shared economy, suggesting Uber is welcome only if they are regulated the proper way, fair and balanced, adhering to the same regulations as taxis do.

The argument came down to protecting the longstanding taxi driving community in Saanich, who keep their profits here.

“Uber, as it is, is theft, it’s the stealing of business by using an advanced technology without adhering to the same rules,” Haynes said. “They also take 25 per cent of their profit out of the community. Taxis don’t do that.”

Taxis, Haynes pointed out, are also forward thinking in that they’ve embraced hybrid cars as well as anyone else.

“Last year B.C. political leaders said we’re behind by not allowing Uber, but they got it wrong, we’re ahead by not having Uber,” he said.

Taxi driver Rishi Sharma spoke on behalf of friends and family who work in the taxi industry and live on Tyndall, Gordon Head and Wilkinson roads.

“These are longstanding community members paying taxes. If there’s an opportunity to allow them to be the members of the community that they are, please allow them to do it,” Sharma said.

Council ready for EDPA reviewTravis Paterson News Staff

It was a word for word ordeal on Monday as Saanich council debated the terms of reference that will guide a third-party review of the Environmental Development Permit Area.

The process was unique, as Coun. Colin Plant submitted an initial round of edits to the bulleted list of staff-prepared terms. Plant’s list was based on Option 1 of the staff recommendations, and ended up as a hybrid of all three options.

The motion passed 8-1 with only Mayor Richard Atwell opposed.

Option 1 is based on the position that significant engagement has taken place to date and that the consultant is being hired to develop potential solutions

which will be presented to council. Rather than seek new information from the public, input would be received at the time the potential solutions are presented to council. The public will also be kept up-to-date throughout the review process on Saanich’s website.

Merie Beauchamp, a mom in the Swan Lake area, supports Option 1 and also supports the EDPA, saying a lot of family-aged adults aren’t being heard from because they’re happy.

“We’ve gone through community consultation, we’ve had town hall meetings where opinions, mostly negative, are aired, and there’s nothing else to come from it. At this point we’re beating a dead horse,” Beauchamp said. “I think more non-professional people or people with misinformation and opinions coming forth will cloud

the objective of the EDPA, which is to preserve the small amount of environmentally sensitive areas we have left.”

Atwell said he had trouble with Option 1 because he was committed to a higher level of engagement with the public earlier in the review process.

“With [Option 1] the public is coming here and talking to us [when the review is submitted], which is when we make the decisions, and it puts us back in the same boat,” Atwell said.

Saanich will soon post a request for proposals for a third-party consultant.

“They should be from outside the Capital Regional District, otherwise their work will look tainted,” said Eric Dahli, president of the Cadboro Bay Community Association.

Weaver looks tolower voting age

Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA Andrew Weaver is calling for the voting age to be lowered to 16 in British Columbia.

“There is a lot of evidence that shows that if we engage our youth earlier in the political process they are more likely to develop voting as a habit for the rest of their life,” said Weaver, the leader of the B.C. Green Party. “The decisions we make today as legislators will have a profound impact on the lives of our youth, I can’t think of a good reason why they shouldn’t have a stake in those decisions.”

The voting age was not always 18 in British Columbia. B.C. dropped the voting age from 21 to 19 in 1952, but it wasn’t until 1992 that the province made the subsequent change to lower the age to 18.

Weaver, who tabled legislation this week to lower the provincial voting age, points to Austria, Argentina, Brazil, Germany and parts of the UK as just a few jurisdictions to have extended voting rights to 16-year-olds.

“There is a general misconception that 16 and 17-year-olds are too young to make informed decisions or that they will just vote the way their parents tell them to. Research indicates that this is not the case,” said Weaver, who argues 16-year-olds are allowed to drive, pay taxes, drop out of school, get married and sign up for the military.

“It appears there is actually a trickle-up effect in civic participation. When youth engage in civics, conversations around the dinner table tend to focus on politics and local issues, which results in a positive impact on voter turnout for the whole family.”

Master distiller Ken Winchester points to a stack of second-hand bourbon casks that lines the inside wall of de Vine Vineyards’ new distillery.

It’s not an overly huge room, but big enough to house Bruhnhilde, a 30-year-old German still that is the heart of the operation, a mash tank and a few dozen barrels.

“We found Bruhnhilde in a Cowichan warehouse and it took us a year to put it together, now she works great,” he says.

Beside Bruhnhilde, named for the princess of German folklore, is the double-stacked row of casks with de Vine’s first batch of whisky, Glen Saanich, waiting to bottle next year.

Within some of the casks are also some one-off experiments because, well, that’s what craft distillers do, Winchester says.

One cask is labelled ‘Maple’. Another says ‘Burbin’ (take a guess what that is).

“We can’t call Glen Saanich whisky [because it won’t be three years old], just like we can’t make a ‘bourbon’, but Glen Saanich is

going to be great, and the ‘Burbin’ looks good so far,” he says. “I don’t know if we’ll ever make [a bourbon-style spirit] but we never stop experimenting.”

With Glen Saanich, it’s likely the label will explain the spirit as “made in the tradition of a Scottish whisky.”

The whisky labelling rule – that only a three-year-aged barley spirit qualifies – is outdated, but will stick around thanks to NAFTA while being challenged in concept by craft distilleries in B.C.

There are currently 10 distilleries on the Island, the closest being Phillips Brewery’s Fermentorium and Sidney’s Victoria Distillers. Coming this summer is the Victoria Caledonian Brewery and Distillery on Enterprise Crescent.

This year is another big leap forward for de Vine Vineyard and Distillery at 6181 Old West Saanich Rd. They’ve launched a trilogy of gins, the Dickens’ era, London-style New Tom, the modern Vin Gin and a coming brand based on the 500-year-old version of the famous Dutch spirit. They also offer a strawberry vodka made with the organic fruit of Longview Farm (formerly Vantreight), a Honey Shine that’s essentially a honey rum made from B.C. ingredients, as well as apple and blackberry brandies.

De Vine has put a Saanich twist on as much as it can though it’s the first lot on the Central Saanich side of the border with Saanich. Its hilltop vineyards, a lower and an upper, are hidden from view by the steep and winding driveway from Old West Saanich and overlook the peninsula.

From the entrance of the driveway you could shake a bottle of fizzy and fire the cork across the road, and across the border,

onto Lana Popham’s Barking Dog Vineyard in the District of Saanich. Winchester previously leased Barking Dog and it’s there he started Victoria Gin (now in Sidney) eight years ago.

When he connected with the owners, Catherine and John Windsor, it was a perfect fit.

“It’s been great here,” said Winchester, who rents a two-acre farm on one corner of the lot with his wife. “The lot was a fixer upper, it’s been totally redone.

We have an orchard with pears, apples, plums and calvados. We use flowers for botanicals and the brandies we make here are 100 per cent fruit, no additives.”

Even the syrup for the maple whisky is tapped from red maples on the property, and they’ve collected on-site spruce tips for their Sitka gin.

De Vine’s tasting room is now open seven days a week for summer, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., with a food truck on weekends.

Travis Paterson/News Staff

Ken Winchester samples a test run of a bourbon-style whisky being produced at de Vine Vineyard and Distillery.

“This was not to just transmit a letter but something staff could embrace and go forward with to discuss with ministry on a personal basis,” Brice said.

Rob Wickson, president of the Gorge Tillicum Community Association, still wished for a chance to sit down with someone from the Ministry of Transportation who knows how to run the traffic models to see what can be done to not impact the park.

“The CRD spent seven years building a

regional growth strategy and now it’s out the window. It didn’t fit what the province liked,” Wickson said.

Derman was the most vocal councillor in his opposition to the interchange, calling it shortsighted while pointing out the traffic jam will only be pushed down the road to the next intersections, such as along the McKenzie corridor.

“If the ministry was really supporting transit they’d spend $85 million on a streetcar from downtown to Uptown… but most of the money in this project is going

to the ease of single occupancy vehicles,” Derman said. “If you want to see what happens when you continue on that path, look at the mess of freeways in California where they kept building them bigger.”

Derman also said he was surprised the cloverleaf option was approved, as Saanich’s Bike, Pedestrian and Mobility advisory committee identified the cloverleaf as undesirable and did not support it.

“All of this seemed to fall on deaf ears. If you get people on McKenzie faster, they’ll

just hit a series of lights starting with Burnside, then Carey, then Glanford, then after Highway 17 its Saanich Road and then Quadra-McKenzie,” Derman added. “Those are all already congested at peak hours, so how does a cloverleaf design relieve that congestion?”

Instead, the ministry should have started by asking council what Saanich’s priorities are, Derman added.

“Let’s design around those priorities, rather than saying, here are the designs, and then, we’re picking this one.”

Councillor says interchange will just push traffic jams down the roadContinued from Page A1

In response to your article “Badminton players rally for Cordova Bay site,” I believe if you surveyed the residents of Cordova Bay you would find that most oppose the rezoning of the site.

This area is zoned residential and should stay so. The proposed building for the site belongs in a commercial/recreational setting with lots of parking, not a residential one. This is not something the neighbourhood uses or needs.

As a community club, no taxes are paid to Saanich and we feel that the site should be developed as it is now zoned with taxes being paid. The building has been there for 66 years and it is now time for it to go. We do not need nor want increased traffic to the neighbourhood. The neighbourhood has a small village, quiet feel and we would like to keep it that way.

Nature provides solutionGeorge Zeman’s willow wattle

solution to control erosion in Saanich

is another great example of working with nature to solve a human problem. This kind of thinking has the potential to solve some or all of the sewage problem too, at low cost, while adapting to climate change. See Regenerative Design for Sustainable Development by John Tilman Lyle.

This principle is simple: “Let nature do the work,” and once in place nature will do the work for free. I have advocated this principle in forestry for years, but old paradigms are hard to give up. John Maynard Keynes once wrote: “The difficulty lies not so much in developing new ideas, as in escaping from old ones.” For more on Lyle’s 11 principles, see http://www.ecotecture.com/reviews/lyle2.html.

Kennel unfairly targetedI am writing in support of Lisa and

Daniel Miller; owners of Pawsh Pet Oasis. We have boarded our dog with them for about five years, and can attest to the quality and professionalism of their facility.

As noted in the article, they have strived to minimize the barking as much as possible, unlike some other kennels we have visited with many more dogs on site. We hope to continue using their services, as we consider Pawsh Oasis the best in town. It does seem they are being unfairly singled out and harassed by Saanich.

Donors have undue political influence

The numbers may not be surprising but they are interesting nonetheless.

According to a new poll from Insights West (sponsored by the non-profit Dogwood Initiative, based out of Victoria), B.C. voters overwhelmingly support a ban on corporate and union political donations.

Dogwood Initiative is a citizen group calling on the province to “ban big money” in politics.

The survey showed that 86 per cent of British Columbians polled would favor bans on the corporate/union donations before the next election.

The commonly held belief is that the bigger the war chest, the better the chance of winning – in almost any election. Is that democracy in action? The report also states that B.C. is the last province in Canada to allow unlimited donations from anywhere in the world, including in municipal elections. The survey shows this leaves members of the public more than a little cynical about the role of ordinary citizens. More than two-thirds of adults polled (68 per cent) believe citizens are not influential in shaping policy in this province. The most influential group is corporations (90 per cent).

Ranked in order of influence were corporations, lobbyists, foreign investors, unions and then the citizens themselves. Seems a little backward, no? Exactly how are citizens supposed to trust political leaders if they believe the outside influence is that strong – and they feel their own input is so undervalued?

According to the number presented in the report, basically, folks believe the system is broken. If citizens in a democracy have little faith in their own actual power, that’s a problem. Obviously, it takes money to run any campaign. But it shouldn’t be the primary factor in anyone’s ability to get themselves elected.

What remains to be seen is how quickly the political powers give up their war chests – and how much of a fight they will put up to get citizens to where they want to be. Levelling out the playing field is long overdue.

Precisely placing cans of tomatoes and soup, ensuring the labels are faced just perfectly, isn’t for a fancy grocery store display.

Kevin Albers and Christopher Rowe along with their teammates from M’akola Development Services (MDS) and Low Hammond Rowe Architects have created a rocket out of canned tomatoes and tomato and mushroom soup.

“We’ve partnered with Low Hammond Rowe Architects on many projects and it’s great we spend time with their team outside of the office and help people at the same time,” said MDS CEO Kevin Albers. “At MDS we are thriving on constructing affordable housing. Unfortunately, many of the tenants living in M’akola Housing’s homes and other affordable housing depend regularly on food banks.”

The rocket, inspired by the 1953 Adventure of Tintin comic book Destination Moon, stands 2.5 metres tall at Mayfair Mall. The event is creatively titled Canstruction, a cross between an artistic competition and food drive.

“Our spaceship uses the nostalgic imagery of Tintin’s adventures to remind us that optimism for the future is always needed. It is ready to launch, with the message that helping the hungry isn’t rocket science,” explains Rowe, architect and partner with the Saanich-based firm.

Each team is led by an architect who works with the same software used to create the original plans for buildings, to now create structures out of cans.

“I designed it using tiny cylinders and stacked them in virtual spaces,” said Rowe. “It’s still very similar to designing buildings.”

The Dahlia Society organizes the event and all of the food used in the event will be donated to the Mustard Seed Food Bank.

Canstruction has played a crucial part of stocking the Mustard Seed shelves for the spring and summer months for the past three years.

“Last year at the time their shelves were bare, and when we delivered all the food the volunteers were in tears. It was moving,” said Christopher Mavrikos, founder and executive director of the Dahlia Society.

The colossal can structures will be on display until May 16 at Mayfair Mall. Family Can Day is Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will be face painting, kids’ activities and a media challenge.

The public is encouraged to vote on their favourite structure at the Dahlia Society’s voting station at Mayfair Mall. The public can vote until Monday, May 16 at 4 p.m. To vote, please bring two cans of food or a $2 donation for the Mustard Seed Food Bank.

Music in the parkThe Reynolds High School Orchestra hosted a special midday Mother’s Day concert at Playfair Park on Sunday, performing against a backdrop of beautiful rhododendrons. The concert featured renditions of popular tunes, including such ‘80s picks as Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger” and Bon Jovi’s “You Give Love a Bad Name.”

Claremont goes Crazy for musicalJacob ZinnNews Staff

How do 1930s New York showgirls end up in the fictional cowboy town of Deadrock, Nevada? It’s a funny story, and it’s the latest production by Claremont’s musical theatre students.

This coming Wednesday is opening night for Crazy For You, a Tony Award-winning romantic musical comedy that takes audiences from uppity highbrow NYC to the sun-beaten saloons of the American desert. The show was written by playwright Ken Ludwig in the 1990s based on the 1930s Gershwin-penned show Girl Crazy.

The two-hour show opens in New York and centres around Bobby Child, a silver spoonfed Harvard dropout desperate to make it in theatre. He constantly pesters theatre director Bela Zangler for an audition using his connections to the Zangler Follies, a local dance troupe.

Bobby’s mother Lottie Child, however, is the head of a bank and has disdain for anything other than money.

“He’s been very rich, but those things don’t tend to interest him – he’s more

focused on the arts and he’s always wanted to be an actor,” said Claremont senior Griffen Hohl, who stars in the lead role.

“He’s just been trying to follow his career for the arts and she doesn’t care for that,” said Augusta Stander, who plays Lottie and presents Bobby with an ultimatum.

“He has to foreclose on a theatre in Nevada that isn’t making its payments. The threat is that either he goes to Nevada and does this for the bank or she will be cutting off his allowance.”

Bobby agrees to go to Nevada, but when he gets there, he becomes lovestruck by Polly Baker, the theatre owner’s daughter. He’s then presented with a Catch-22 – if he forecloses on the theatre, he’ll lose the girl of his dreams – so he decides to put on a show to save the theatre. Hijinks ensues.

“He pretends to be a famous theatre impresario – and then the real one shows up,” said director Colin Plant, who is putting on the show with fellow teachers Jessica English as music director and Joel Danyluk as choreographer.

“There is a lot of humour in this play. It’s a funny western musical with a New York flavour

at the beginning and end.”The show features about 20

songs, with about 100 students making up the cast, crew and orchestra.

“This is probably the largest group that exists in the school, the musical theatre group,” said Plant. “We’re very proud of our program because we give so many opportunities for the students to perform.”

Likewise, Stander and Hohl echoed Plant’s enthusiasm for the program, saying being a part of the musical theatre class has been an exciting experience.

“The theatre community at Claremont is very strong since we’re a school that’s really focused on the fine arts,” said Stander.

“For me personally, I’ve just noticed the class is starting to feel more connected and more like a family,” said Hohl. “Now that we see the costumes and we’re starting to see the set develop, it’s starting to feel more real.”

Crazy For You runs nightly at 7 p.m. from May 18 to 21 and 25 to 28. There is an additional 2 p.m. matinée on May 28. Tickets ($15 for adults, $12.50 for students and seniors) are available by phone at 250-658-6672.

1930s New York meets Old West Nevada in Claremont’s production of Crazy For You, a romantic musical comedy filled with hilarity and hijinks. The production is part of the high school’s musical theatre program, which has been working on the 20-song show since September.

space under the centre console in the cabin. The first stage of our XT5 test drive route, which started at our Dana Point hotel, took us over the Santa Ana Mountains via the Ortega Highway (SR74) to Lake Elsinore. It’s a tight two-lane mountain road with steep drop-offs, intimidating rock faces, lots of switchback…and spectacular views. The early morning gut tester of a drive certainly helped showcase the impressively agile and predicable handling abilities of the XT5.A new Caddy always comes packed with new technology and the XT5 doesn’t disappoint, especially if you splurge for a higher trim version. Even the basic goodie package includes Wi-Fi hot spot, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and a hands-free liftgate. LED headlights, a head-up display, and advanced safety technologies such as adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist are also available.Unique new tech includes Cadillac’s patented Rear Camera Mirror, which

enhances a driver’s rear vision by 300 per cent. An AJAC Best New Safety Technology winner, it helps solve a driver vision issue that plagues many modern high back design vehicles. The advanced “twin clutch” all-wheel drive system is now capable of trans-ferring up to 100 percent of available torque to either the front or rear axle and/or to either rear wheel, via an electronically controlled rear differential. There’s also a new driver-controlled “disconnect” feature that disables the rear drive unit. Improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions are the benefits of operating in this front-drive mode.Canadian prices for a Cadillac XT5 will start at $45,100 (FWD) and $52,120 for the all-wheel-drive editions. Expected city/highway fuel economy ratings for FWD editions are 12.1/8.6 L/100km and 12.9/8.9 L/100km for AWD edi-tions and an XT5 runs fine on regular gasoline. [email protected]

Big and bulky looks of new Cadillac XT5 designed to deceiveBob McHugh / Black Press Media

Dana Point, California – Visually it looks bigger and bulkier, but the new 2017 Cadillac XT5 is actually an inch (2.5 cm) shorter in length and considerably lighter (136 kg) than the current Cadillac SRX it replaces. A longer wheelbase and bigger wheels (19/20 inch) add to the XT5’s optical illusion and its stretched cabin area allows (much needed) additional rear seat legroom.Like its successful predecessor, the XT5 is a stylish mid-sized luxury utility vehicle. Power is provided by a new direct injection 3.6-litre (315-horsepower) V6 engine with cylinder deactivation and auto stop/start features to improve fuel efficiency. The name change is apparently part of a larger Cadil-lac master plan for a series of (leaner and meaner) XT crossover utility vehicles (both smaller and larger than XT5) in coming years. The only naming exception will be the – mother of all utility – Cadillac Escalade.These days, Cadillac benchmarks its products against European competitors such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz, instead of domestic rivals. It has high sales expectations for XT5 and Canada is (based on SRX sales) expected to be its third largest market, behind the US and China.Engineering goals for XT5 included more cabin space, im-proved ride, better handling, better fuel efficiency and bet-ter noise and vibration performance. Mass reduction quickly became a key element to achieving these goals and about half of the weight savings came out of the old chassis. State-of-the-art digital analytical tools combined with greater use of high-strength and press-hardened steel is how a Cadillac engineer explained the weight reduction. The structural changes also include an interesting new built-in safety innovation – splayed front rails. Designed to deform in a certain way, they deflect (or push) the XT5 away from an offset frontal impact, which is a very com-mon type of vehicle collision. The new 3.6L V6 is the only engine offered in XT5 and it’s mated with an eight-speed automatic that features Cadillac’s first-ever (drive-by-wire) electronically controlled shifter. This compact shifter unit allows a large storage

Don DescoteauBlack Press

Mount Douglas student Cassidy Steen turned heads south of the border last month with a gutsy performance in the 3,000-metre steeplechase event at the Oregon State high school track and field championships in Eugene.

Steen, a 17-year-old middle distance runner, beat Washington State high school champion Emily Wilson in a photo finish by “sticking my chest out” as they crossed the line.

“That was the hardest race I’ve ever done,” Steen said, noting it was the first time she had run that distance. “We were really close the whole way, then she passed me on the last lap, then I passed her with 100 metres to go.”

The steeplechase is a low-profile but exciting event that sees runners leap four hurdles around the track and one more that has a water barrier. That particular jump can slow some athletes down, but Steen, a talented jumper and accomplished figure skater and dancer, said she has trained specifically for that part of the race and gained time there.

She finished the Oregon race in 11 minutes, 49.17 seconds, a mere .07 seconds faster than the runner-up.

Steen hit the track for the 1,500m steeplechase at this week’s Lower Island meet, where she also entered the 400 and 800 metres.

Having set the Island Grade 10 record of 5:23 last year in the 1,500 steeplechase and clocked 5:17 en route to a bronze medal at provincials, she has lofty goals for the next month or so.

“I really want to come out as provincial champion for high school in the 1,500 steeplechase,” she said, adding the U.S. win has given her more confidence. “I want to set the (Island) record for the 1,500 and 800. The 400 is more of a workout for me.”

Her qualifying time of 2:22 in the 800 is just three seconds off the record set in 2001, while she pulls off the 400 in “about 59 seconds.”

A competitive figure skater with the Oak Bay club and also a dancer at Mount Doug, Steen has been involved in track and field since Grade 3, but remembers doing the 1K kids race at the TC10K in Grade 1.

These days she’s coached by 1976 Canadian Olympian Dacre Bowen in the Victoria Speed Project. After hearing that Steen would “get bored” running the middle distance races, he decided to give her the added challenge of steeplechase. The move has inspired the young athlete to work hard at improving her

times and technique.While she admits to “getting butterflies,”

especially when she know her opponents’ times, she enjoys the drama of a longer race.

“It’s just fun having all those people cheering for you. The last lap is the most fun; that’s when the race usually starts.”

The Island meet runs May 11 and 12 at UVic, and the B.C. championships are hosted next month in Nanaimo.

Dr. Kristen Bovee, ND

STRESS a� ects people of all ages. The symptoms of stress can be extremely unpleasant, as participants in a study released earlier this year by the Statistic Brain Research Institute and the American Institute of Stress who reported experiencing physical symptoms of stress admitted to feeling fatigue, headache, upset stomach, and muscle tension, among other things.

Among those who reported feeling physical symptoms of stress, 77 percent admitted to feeling those symp-

toms regularly, citing job pressure and money as the primary causes of their stress. How men and women handle stress can impact both their immediate and long-term health, as stress has been linked to a host of problems and ailments, including sleep dysfunction and heart disease.

Many people cope with stress in unhealthy ways, which may only exacerbate the e� ects of stress on the body. Certain methods of handling stress may work for some people but not others, but the following are a few healthy ways to combat stress.

• Limit alcohol and ca� eine consumption. Many adults turn to alcohol at the end of

a stressful day, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention note that relying on

alcohol to cope with stress may only create more problems down the road, and those

problems will only increase your stress levels. In addition, the Anxiety and

Depression Association of America notes that alcohol and ca� eine can

aggravate anxiety and trigger panic attacks.

• Rely on a support network. Coworkers, family and friends

have stressful days, too, and such con� dantes can help you handle stress in healthy

ways.

Healthy ways to handle STRESS

Daily exercise is a healthy and e� ective way to cope with stress.

As house prices continue to rise on Vancouver Island, a new report has ana-lyzed the latest trends behind the boom in local real estate sales.

The Re/Max Spring Market Trends Report looked at the first quarter of 2016 and noted a 10 per cent increase in the average residential price in Greater Vic-toria, jumping from $495,137 a year prior to $543,564. In B.C., that increase falls just behind Greater Van-couver (24 per cent) and the Fraser Valley (31 per cent).

While locals still make up about seven out of every 10 buy-ers on the Island, Re/Max Camosun gen-eral manager Ray Blender said they’ve seen a small increase in Lower Mainland homeowners heading to Greater Victoria.

“It’s a limited trend,”

said Blender. “Certain people that are being bought out for very high prices in Vancou-ver and the core area are looking for a place to live. Those people are moving because they have the advan-tage now of more money being made from their properties in Vancouver.”

Blender also noted the Island is seeing an influx of tech com-panies – and subse-quently, tech profes-sionals – as housing prices on the main-land have made it dif-ficult for workers in the industry.

“The Vancouver market is experienc-ing difficulty in hold-ing onto tech people because of the cost of housing,” he said. “Some of the firms are looking outside of the Vancouver market to relocate their busi-nesses.”

The report also notes less certainty from prospective buy-ers in B.C. of ever owning a home they love, compared to buyers in other prov-inces. Re/Max found 64.9 per cent of Brit-ish Columbians find that goal attainable, compared to 77 per

cent in Ontario, 82.3 per cent in Quebec, 83.2 per cent in Sas-katchewan and Mani-toba, 87.8 per cent in Alberta and 89.3 per cent in the Atlantic.

That falls in line with their findings from Canadian mil-lennials, 37 per cent of whom are looking to family, friends or a co-buyer for financial help with their down payment. Blender said the issue of first-time home ownership in B.C. isn’t just an issue for millennials, but affects transplants to the area.

“You could also include new recruits in the RCMP and the Navy,” said Blender. “If they’ve been trans-ferred from Halifax to here, it’s a bit of a shock.

“They look farther afield, they move out from the core.

That’s why we’re see-ing more activity in places like Mill Bay, where the entry levels are lower than they are here.”

Victoria has seen a very active housing market this quarter, with 48 per cent more sales compared to the same time last year. As a result, the Island has continued to be a seller’s market, and Blender said it’s hard to determine if these housing trends will continue to rise or drop off.

“The smart answer is always, ‘It’ll keep going until it stops,’” he said. “We never know when it’s going to stop or whether it will come with a bang or a whimper. Nothing can sustain the level of activity and the price increases on a basis that we’ve now achieved.”

As we continue with the colour family of green, I’d like to introduce you to chartreuse. Chartreuse is a colour halfway between yellow and green.

It really has two definitions, one is the traditional form, in which the colour was founded after a French liqueur which was made by the Carthusian Monks since 1737. The name of their monastery is Grande Chartreuse, located in the Chartreuse Mountains in France.

The traditional chartreuse is more yellow, mixed with a small amount of green. It looks like an acid yellow, it’s very bright, truly an eye stopper (think of many metro city fire trucks).

The other more modern version of chartreuse is a greener version, it’s truly halfway between yellow and green. There’s nothing greyed down of this version, it’s bright, snappy, and

was quite commonly used in 1980s fashion, I think I may have owned a pair of spandex leggings.

This colour isn’t hard to find both in nature and in home accessories. On a trip to Urban Barn at Uptown, I was able to spot these great vases and fabulous silk flowers, great to brighten up a dark corner. I’d love to see them against a grey wall or a white cabinet.

Out at The Elk Lake Garden Centre they have a fabulous selection of potting containers as well as cute gifts for the gardener. This tea cup in chartreuse would be a lovely pick-me-up in the winter months. You

could complement it with any coloured flowering plant.Sheri Peterson is a Saanich-based interior designer with over

20 years of experience working with residential, commercial and hospitality clients. Find out more at www.sheripinteriordesign.com.
