With towering trees on two sides and a green belt lush with native and invasive species, students at Lochside elementary school are already in the proximity of nature. And now they can spend additional class time outside – rain or shine – under the cover of the school’s

new Outdoor Learning Centre.

The open-air, four-wall structure is a key step forward for the school as it looks to further connect class time with nature, said

principal Joe Grewal.“The Outdoor Learning Centre provides

us with a multi-purpose facility that will be useful in all kinds of weather and for a variety of different purposes,” Grewal said.

The Learning Centre can be used for guest presenters, outdoor activities, scavenger hunts, music, community get-togethers and teaching children about native plants.

Construction started in the late spring and was completed earlier this month but the project itself is the culmination of years of fundraising efforts by Lochside’s Parent Advisory Council. Current Lochside PAC president Stephanie Kalabric, and past-presidents Mike Brooks and Rachel Calder, were drivers behind building the structure, Grewal said.

“We are thankful to the Kalabric family,

whose construction company provided the labour,” Grewal said. “The PAC did a great job of raising the money over the last couple of years, and the family provided the work.”

Grewal is also hoping the structure will provide an outdoor base from which students will spend more time playing, structured and unstructured, and exploring the school’s green areas.

Rather than considering the start of a full-time outdoor kindergarten class, as other schools are doing, Grewal said Lochside’s approach is to bring a greater amount of outside and nature time to all levels of the school.

“Hopefully, there will be a greater appreciation for our environment and a desire to protect it in the future,” Grewal said.

Stephanie Kalabric’s husband Ivica, her dad Steve Rados and her brother Joey Kalabric put in countless volunteer hours this summer to build the Outdoor Learning Centre. Grewal also credits volunteer parents Eric Kristianson, Daniel Woo, Scarlet Yum, Don Mellings and many more for their instrumental work to bring the structure to life.

Saanich wind tunnel shines on silver screen

Jacob ZinnNews Staff

George Clooney may keep his perfectly coiffed hair away from 220 km/h air currents, but the actor who played his younger self in Tomorrowland had to throw caution to the wind.

Bodyflight, a portable wind tunnel company based in Saanich, was enlisted for some key freefalling scenes in the sci-fi adventure film, based on the futuristic themed part of Disneyland. The film stars Clooney as a disillusioned inventor who – persuaded by a teenage science enthusiast – embarks on a journey to unearth Tomorrowland, an ahead-of-its-time cityscape that exists in their collective memory.

The scenes were filmed on a studio lot in Vancouver, where the 11-year-old actor Thomas Robinson learned to fly in a wind tunnel before graduating to open-air flying. Each minute of the experience simulates a skydive freefall in both length and sensation, but without actually falling.

“We were approached the year before by the stunt co-ordination team about using the mobile system for filming a key scene,” said Peter Zaoralek, owner of Bodyflight. “They were looking for a way to create lifelike sequences

around a freefall scene and the Bodyflight System offered a versatile, cost-effective solution.”

For Tomorrowland, Bodyflight used its X1 machine, a fully portable skydive simulator which produces wind speed up to 230 km/h. The system allowed for use of a clear wall-to-wall air flight chamber and an open-air flight system with custom net rigging and air-cushion systems.

With guidance from main stunt flyer and trainer John Suiter, professional flyers worked with Robinson and other cast members to teach them how to use the wind tunnel.

“Initially Thomas worked with John Suiter in the wall-to-wall flight chamber,” said Zaoralek. “He was a natural flyer and became skilled enough that he could do his own stunts for the sequence.”

The final sequence was shot within a maze of blue screens, cranes and machines in an open-air environment, surrounded by specialized trapeze nets and safety systems.

Following the release of the film in May – which grossed $208.6 million at the box office – Zaoralek is hoping to attract the attention of other productions looking to film realistic freefall, flying or wind-related scenes.

“The film industry is very busy in Victoria and Vancouver currently and we hope this means more interest in the technology,” he said. “With a portable machine and ability to fabricate whatever may be required, we can bring the technology to any location, which is a huge benefit.”

Seniors issues take centre stage for all-candidates meetingTravis Paterson News Staff

Seniors issues are front and centre as the local seniors advocacy group is hosting an all-candidates meeting for the Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke riding.

Frances Litman of the Green Party, Randall Garrison of the NDP and David Merner of the Liberal Party will attend the Oct. 3 forum sponsored by the Greater Victoria Seniors Old Age Pension Organization (Branch 191) and the Victoria Council of Canadians.

“There are a lot of issues for seniors, especially with regards to cutbacks for services,” said Carol Pickup, who acts on behalf of seniors in the Seniors Entitlement

Service out of the Quadra Village Community Centre. “It was always the intention to include eye glasses, teeth and hearing aids, but we see a lot of [Greater Victoria] seniors who don’t have those.”

The former CRD director and Saanich councillor from 1987 to 2005 will be on hand while first-term Saanich Coun. Colin Plant will moderate. Forum questions will be built around the main topic: “If you and your party are elected on Oct. 19, what will you do to restore and enhance our Canadian public health system?.”

The Greater Victoria Seniors’ all-candidates meeting is set for Saturday, Oct. 3 from 1 to 3 p.m. at St. Joseph’s Church Parish Hall, 785 Burnside Rd. West (corner of McKenzie Ave. and Burnside).

More meetings taking placeBob McDonald, the CBC host of Quirks

& Quarks, will moderate a Science and Technology Candidates’ Debate at the University of Victoria.

Confirmed are Victoria riding candidates Jo-Ann Roberts (Green Party) and Murray Rankin (NDP), and Saanich-Gulf Islands candidate Tim Kane (Liberal Party). No Conservative party candidates confirmed. The debate is tonight (Sept. 23) from 7 to 9 p.m. in room B150, Bob Wright Centre.

Three of Saanich’s community associations, Cordova Bay, Blenkinsop Valley and Broadmead Area, are joining to host a Saanich-Gulf Islands all-candidates forum on Tuesday, Sept. 29, from 7 to 9

p.m. at Lochside elementary school, 1145 Royal Oak Dr.

Confirmed are Robert Boyd (Conservative), Alicia Cormier (NDP), Tim Kane (Liberal) and Elizabeth May (Green).

The University of Victoria Student Society is holding a combined all-candidates debate on Oct. 7 that features 12 of the 16 ridings in the South Island. Green, Liberal and NDP candidates from the South Island ridings of Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke, Cowichan-Malahat-Langford, Saanich-Gulf Islands and Victoria have confirmed they will attend. The Wednesday, Oct. 7 UVSS all-candidates meeting begins at 11:30 a.m. in the Student Union Building’s Vertigo Room.

BC Ferries Commissioner Gord Macatee has restricted fare increases to a maximum of 1.9 per cent for the next four years.

Macatee said calls from the public to lower fares are outside his mandate to balance the interests of ferry users and taxpayers who subsidize the service. He said earlier projections for fuel costs are stable, and the price caps are below the Bank of Canada’s target inflation rate of two per cent. The

first increase would take effect April 1, 2016.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone said he is encouraged by the fare caps, the lowest increases since 2004, and a four per cent increase in BC Ferries traffic since April.

Stone said the low Canadian dollar has helped BC Ferries’ tourist business, and the corporation has more work to do to cut costs.

Mayor Richard Atwell with Camosun College student Jeremy Vargas, who spoke on behalf of his class, which designed the graphic for the new Greater Victoria Crime Stopper’s van.

New van helps spread the message


If it wasn’t decalled with the unmistakeable Crime Stoppers logo, the Dodge Caravan unveiled at Saanich Police headquarters on Thursday would otherwise be, well, just another minivan.

Instead, the gently used white van was the centre of attention. It stands out with graphics, the Crime Stoppers’ logo design and the silhouette of an anonymous tipster holding a phone.

The van will be used by Greater Victoria Crime Stoppers’ two program

co-ordinators, Gillian Millam and Phil Downie, on a daily basis as they commute the region doing community engagement.

“We’ll be driving it to all the events we go to, as well as parades, and this [design] will help raise our profile,” Millam said. “It’s great to have a new vehicle, our previous van was on its last legs.”

Upon learning they were approved to purchase the van through a $20,000 grant from the Civil Forfeiture Office, Millam said they shared the idea of putting an enlarged graphic on the van with Camosun College’s design program.

Jeremy Vargas, a Saanich resident and Camosun student, represented his digital production, writing and design class at the van’s unveiling. Vargas was the project manager for one of three groups in his

class that worked on the design campaign for Greater Victoria Crime Stoppers.

“To see our efforts on this car, it means we’re part of something, it’s a great feeling that we did a service to help the community, even if it’s a small part of the puzzle,” Vargas said.

The silhouetted figure phoning in an anonymous tip was the work of the class, which also designed a variety of promotional materials the local Crime Stoppers chapter can now use.

“Our new van, clearly branded with our contact information, will help us make sure our communities know we are a constant resource for them,” said Susan DeLarge, president of Greater Victoria Crime Stoppers.

The federal election campaign has produced a jumble of conflicting claims about whether or not Canada has a balanced budget or a deficit, how it was determined, and whether it even matters.

The definitive word on this came out last week, with the release of the Government of Canada Annual Financial Report, signed off by Auditor General Michael Ferguson.

“The government posted a budgetary surplus of $1.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, compared to a budgetary deficit of $5.2 billion in 2013-14,” the report says.

“Revenues increased by $10.7 billion, or 3.9 per cent, from 2013-14, reflecting increases across all major revenue streams. Program expenses increased by $5.2 billion, reflecting increases in major transfers to persons and other levels of government, offset in part by a decrease in direct program expenses.”

The Conservative government’s pre-election budget calculated that last year was in deficit, and this year would be the first in the black since 2008. Ottawa pundits say this “surprise surplus” was engineered with intentionally pessimistic budget estimates, so Prime Minister Stephen Harper would get a boost right about now.

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau claimed

last year’s surplus was partly generated by cuts to Veterans’ Affairs and Aboriginal Affairs. Wrong and wrong. Veterans’ Affairs spending was up 13 per cent, and Aboriginal Affairs spending

rose nearly 30 per cent.Trudeau has also insisted

Canada is in recession now, which helps his suddenly adopted position that a Liberal government would run deficits for the next three years to build infrastructure.

Harper ran the biggest deficits in Canadian history after the 2009 crash, bailing out auto makers and building lots of “shovel ready” infrastructure, as did the U.S. and other countries. The

question raised by Trudeau’s plan is whether it’s a good idea to keep doing that without a financial crisis.

France, for example, has run operating deficits every year since the early 1970s, although the current Socialist government vows to balance the books by 2017. France’s operating debt is now equal to 91 per cent of its Gross Domestic Product.

Canada’s net debt-to-GDP ratio is currently around 30 per cent, down from frightening levels in the 1990s before the Chrétien government finally balanced the budget.

(Fun fact: then-finance minister Paul Martin not only cut transfers to provinces, unlike the current

government, he inflicted the largest-ever cuts to the CBC. Harper’s CBC cuts were part of government-wide reductions, again due to that 2009 crisis.)

NDP leader Thomas Mulcair has promised to balance the budget every year of his mandate, should he form Canada’s first-ever socialist government. He will spend the rest of the campaign trying to reconcile this promise with the grandiose spending plans he has piled up.

Meanwhile in B.C., Finance Minister Mike de Jong may have benefited from Harper’s lowball budget. In his first quarter update last week, de Jong reported that his February budget forecast is on track, with a $277 million surplus.

This is despite a $300 million bill for forest firefighting, thanks to personal and corporate income tax revenue expected to be $374 million higher than budgeted. B.C. bases its tax revenue figures on federal estimates, and the ones they got early this year were clearly low.

Understated or not, this is a nice problem to have. De Jong says that at the current pace, B.C. will pay off its accumulated operating debt by 2020.

The last time the province was free of operating debt was 1982. The big debt peak came during the NDP 1990s, with another spike from 2009 to 2013 under the B.C. Liberals.

Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Do balanced budgets really matter?

Put compassion aheadof political opportunity

The debate around how to help Syrian refugees, fleeing a vicious civil war and expanding Islamic State terrorism, has become something of a political football in Canada. It’s to be expected that various parties during the election would make various claims on the best approach.

But this is beyond politics. The publication of the photo that went around the world – that of three-year-old Syrian refugee Alan Kurdi – is ample evidence of that.

Canadians are compassionate people and there is ample precedent for helping those in need. We need only recall when in the 1980s thousands of Vietnamese “boat people” were taken in by this country.

Compassion has to supersede politics in this matter but other questions arise of Canadians wanting to respond.

While dramatic and serious events like the Syrian crisis are few and far between, there is no lack of other events seeking our charitable response.

It’s important to analyze how useful and effective such charitable “trends” are, often spurred on by heart-wrenching photos, and where they go after the outrage dies down and the public moves on to the next hot issue.

We can look beyond the migrant crisis in Europe to any number of countries that would benefit from the aid and compassion of Canadians. And it is right and good that we continue to do what we can.

And for every trendy hashtag and its accompanying global outrage, there are local issues which, perhaps at times lacking the same profile, still need our attention.

The status of refugees, and Canada’s responsibility in assisting them, is deservedly in the spotlight. And local organizations that are doing their part deserve our accolades, especially as most of them were doing the hard work to support refugees for years before it became a trendy issue.

Going in circlesAt first I thought

Jack Dixon’s letter suggesting a roundabout for Mckenzie Avenue and Highway 1 was a joke. With all due respect he may not have considered some of the road conditions at that location.

Perhaps Mr. Dixon is unaware that the speed limit on that section of the highway is 80 km/h. To negotiate a roundabout one would need to slow traffic to a maximum of 50 km/h (or less). If traffic is backed up now with the traffic lights, slowing it down to 50 km/h would cause considerable backups because traffic approaching the roundabout must yield to traffic within the roundabout.

Mr. Dixon is correct

about roundabouts reducing serious injury and death but not if you are travelling in a circle at 80 km/h.

Officer acted appropriately

Re: B.C. conservation officer Bryce Casavant’s suspension and subsequent redeployment.

In Casavant’s case, the two eight-week-old bear cubs were up a tree and “crying for their mother”, and thus not “likely to harm persons, property, wildlife or wildlife habitat.” It is also questionable whether they were “at large” since their mother had just been killed by officer Casavant, they were up a tree and “crying

for their mother,” and were quite likely unable to reasonably care for themselves or to reasonably defend themselves from predators.

Further, due to their very young age it is quite possible and likely that a judge or other reasonable person would conclude that the B.C. government had just become the cubs’ guardian and that Casavant as the nearest responsible officer of the government had a duty of care to the cubs to provide for their immediate well-being and relocation to a suitable habitat.

Nanny state poses a danger

Many thanks for Tom Fletcher’s

column on the nanny state. I believe that the reliance by people on government combined with the emotional response and seeming helplessness by many citizens to even temporary inconveniences is worrying in the least and perhaps dangerous in the longer run.

Please write more about this issue.

Stolen signs not news

The article about the stolen signs in the Sept. 16 Saanich News raises two questions in my mind:

1. Why would a promoter of a commercial event choose this particular mode of advertising at election time. I

have rarely seen this sort of sign (a similar size and construction to the large elections signs) used for advertising a commercial event before.

2. Why would this newspaper give valuable front-page advertising to what is essentially a “night club act”? It seems to me that the spraying of hammer and sickles on NDP signs in the area is equally newsworthy.

Bruce MoreSaanich

LETTERSChild care is a necessity for the middle class

I envy Mr. Fletcher’s position of being able to publish his half-thought-out ideas and opinions without the nuisance of having to respond to his critics.

In this instance, he makes a great leap from the “worst electrical grid failure on record” to the following: “Are you competent to save for your retirement with RRSPs and a tax-free savings account, or do you need the government to do it for you, by force? Are you capable of

managing your own child care, or should the nanny state create a hugely subsidized system...”

One can only imagine the circuitous route he took to link the one to the others. But it’s government that tells its citizens that it will take care of them, all through taxation – without actually naming what this care will be. No hard contract as it were, save such advice as “don’t arm yourself against intruders and let the police handle what they are paid

to do.” Somehow though, we are (according the Mr. Fletcher) to take care of our own RRSPs and TFSAs.

Likewise, we are to arrange for our own childcare – in spite of the plain fact that, since the late ‘70s to the present day, middle-class families have been dual income, out of necessity and not just to have a little spending cash. In order to pursue the middle-class lifestyle that both Stephen Harper and Justin Trudeau make much mention of, daycare is a necessity

in this society. Another necessity in this society

are roads, and infrastructure in general. Yet I hear not a peep from Mr. Fletcher regarding “the nanny state” that subsidizes these. But I do not read about how citizens should band together to build roads and sewers and water lines, rather than depend on “the nanny state” to do this. What’s up with that, Mr. Fletcher?

Champagne is a drink for special events, and on Thursday, DFH Real Estate is hosting a very special event of their own.

For the first time, DFH is putting on its Bubbles & Bites: Popping Corks for the Cure fundraiser at Marina Restaurant in Oak Bay, with all proceeds going to the B.C. Cancer Foundation. The fundraiser is in

memory of DFH founder Dominic Francis Hanley, who got his start in real estate with Saanich Realty and died from cancer last year.

“[Before he died], he gave a generous donation to the B.C. Cancer Foundation, and they in turn wanted to do something for the family, so they named DFH Real Estate ambassadors of the foundation,” said Susan Dunn, managing broker at DFH Real Estate, noting that the

fundraiser is a way to preserve Hanley’s memory while helping others fighting the same disease.

One of the features that sets the inaugural fundraiser apart from others is its Memory Bubble Wall, a way to commemorate people who have died from cancer, or to recognize people battling it.

“You buy a bubble, and inside, there’ll be a prize,” said Dunn. “By buying one of these bubbles for the memory wall, you can write the name

of someone in your thoughts and in your heart – someone who’s maybe battling cancer at the moment or someone who’s passed from cancer.

“I’ve just lost two cousins to cancer in the last two weeks, so I’ll be buying a few of those bubbles.”

Dunn noted the fundraiser has a focus on immunotherapy, defined as treatment of disease by inducing, enhancing or suppressing an immune response. Money raised will

go to the Deeley Research Centre in Victoria, which has made progress in researching the form of treatment.

Dr. Julian Lum of the B.C. Cancer Agency will be the evening’s keynote speaker, who is on the agency’s immunotherapy team.

In addition to bottle after bottle of sparkling wine, the fundraiser will tantalize your taste buds with small savoury plates from the Marina Restaurant’s award-winning chefs.

Dunn said DFH has high hopes for the fundraiser, and depending on how it goes Thursday, there could very well be one next year.

“We’re hoping to make this a yearly event,” she said. “Make it bigger and better.”

The festivities go from 7 to 10 p.m., with a live auction, a silent auction, a photo booth and other entertainment to tickle

your fancy. The dress code calls for cocktail attire and tickets are

$150 per person. To order tickets, go to bubblesandbites.ca.

It’s a subject not everyone is comfortable talking about – but Brian Williams of Sidney is willing to speak up to encourage people to live healthier and to help others catch cancer early.

Williams, 71, is a bladder cancer survivor and is now speaking on behalf of the Bladder Cancer Canada Awareness Walk, an event coming to Greater Victoria this Saturday. He says the issue tends to be quite personal for some people, not unlike how it was with prostate cancer – until people found the courage to talk about it.

“People generally don’t like to talk about this stuff,” Williams said, adding that can be disastrous if a problem is left too long.

The first indication he had bladder cancer was he peed blood. That was the first indication that something was wrong. After a series of tests and an ultrasound exam, a tumour was found.

Williams admitted he was naive about the entire process and didn’t know where to turn or who talk to about the diagnosis of bladder cancer.

“What I liked was that my doctor didn’t trivialize it,” he said. “They took it seriously and they made me feel like I could do this.”

He began treatment right away.

As he learned from doctors the extent of his cancer, Williams underwent surgeries to try to get rid of the cancer. The first operation ended up damaging his bladder, so he had to undergo a six-hour surgery to remove his bladder and replace it with a portion of intestine. Williams said it’s a relatively common procedure for bladder cancer.

The recovery, however, was long and tough. He said his body had to re-learn how to pee – by recognizing different signals from his makeshift bladder. It was hard, he admitted, but he did it and now, about nine years later, Williams said he’s

living his life to the fullest.

“We have some excellent medical services on the Island,” he said. “I want people who are going through what I did, to know that there are experts here they can talk to.”

Williams counts himself among those experts, although from a very personal point of view. He has offered his experience and expertise to other bladder cancer patients on the Island, who might be facing the same uncertainty he did.

“When I went through this, I found there was no support. There was nobody I could go to, like some of the other cancer groups out there.”

After mulling over the idea of starting his own support group, Williams opted instead to go to his doctor and offer his time as a mentor to others. What he can do, he said, is offer advice as best he can.

“I know what I went through and I didn’t know who to call. This is a bit of a payback thing for me.”

Williams also hopes to spread the word about the Bladder Cancer Canada Awareness Walk. The first walk took place last year and saw a small group of people turn out. He’s hoping to see that grow this year.

The walk takes place Saturday, Sept. 26 at Clover Point Park in Victoria. Registration starts at

9:30 a.m. and the walk begins at 10 a.m. It’s about education and awareness, Williams said, noting it’s also a fundraiser with a goal of beating the $5,000 raised in 2014.

For more details about the Walk, visit

bccwalk.ca or call 1-866-674-8889.

Williams said he’s looking forward to the event, and talking to people who might be in need of support. Since his treatment, Williams said he’s rowing regularly and

has gotten himself into pretty good shape.

“Bottom line, you can have a full life after bladder cancer,” he said. “You can be as active as you want to be. Just set some goals and it can get you through this.”

Dr. Sherry Cooper

“I think we are going to see up to 2 1/2 per cent growth

into next year.”

Chief Economist for Dominion Lending Centres

Ottawa, ON – Dr. Sherry Cooper, the chief economist for Dominion Lending Centres and long-time trusted economic commentator across North America, offered some strong opinion to recent reports Canada

is in an economic recession. “Everyone thinks it’s a recession except for economists! Real recessions see widespread contraction, which we simply aren’t seeing across the country. We have never seen consumption

growth, housing activity, auto sales and employment gains this strong, during any previous recession,” says Cooper.

Seen as one of the most influential economists in Canada for several decades, Cooper says a provincial sectoral decline is a far cry from a true national recession. “Really what drove the numbers down were the difficulties in the oil patch. For Alberta there is a recession but for Canada as a whole, no. When oil prices were high, Alberta was booming and the Canadian dollar was strong. That hurt exports from the manufacturing sectors in Ontario and Quebec.”

Overall, Cooper remains bullish on the current state of the Canadian economy, “I think we are going to see a significant rebound . . . roughly to 2 1/2 per cent growth for the second half of this year and into next year.” This is a far cry from recent reports of growth forecasts of a much more conservative 1.1 percent growth for the coming year by a survey of 16 economists

conducted by Census Economics. But Cooper is basing her forecast on a number of factors, including the rebounding US economy, with US growth revised up to 3.7 percent in the second quarter.

“It’s positive for Canada,” says Cooper. “We’ve seen that in the most recent export numbers . . . most of that trade is with US. In addition, despite the five-months of declining GDP this year, Canada’s job growth has been impressive. The 54,400 jump in August brought this year’s increase in full-time jobs to an impressive 174,000. Canadian consumers are buying big-ticket items, with home sales strong yet again last month (outside of Alberta), boosting mortgage activity, and auto sales showing big gains. Housing is likely to slow only modestly in the next year as the Bank of Canada keeps short-term interest rates at record lows and longer-term yields edge only modestly higher.”

When it comes to the effect of the federal election, Cooper points

out any change in government creates a market selloff to a certain degree, but says talk of balanced budgets and prudent fiscal policy currently being heard by all three main federal parties will likely stabilize the markets quickly.

Anyone who says Canada is in a recession isn’t an economist – says leading economist

It will be business as usual for the Cedar Hill Golf Course, following Saanich council’s endorsement to renew its golf pro contract.

Last week, council endorsed recommendations from the Sept. 3 meeting of the finance, audit and personnel standing committee, which sought to extend its contract with Rencher Golf Services and retain Craig Rencher as the course’s golf pro.

Staff had requested a three-year extension at $65,000 per year, with a two-year option to renew. While Rencher’s annual fee began at $55,000 and increased to $65,000, it remains competitive, with other fees in the region ranging from $70,000 to $92,000, according to the report.

“Mr. Rencher and his staff have provided a consistently high level of service to the golfers and to district staff, and he has been instrumental in assisting with the research and implementation of the current FootGolf initiative,” read the report.

“His relationship skills with the golfers and the club have been valuable in working through the recent challenging years and in retaining golfers at the course.”

Rencher has provided services for the club since 2001.

Staff noted the contract extension would allow for the replacement of the course’s aging golf cart fleet, an expense covered by the golf pro.

The endorsement by council also requested city staff to present recommended 2015 to 2016 rates at the November 2015 committee meeting, as well as more detailed financial information on food and beverage services.

Girls hockey emerges in Saanich


The growth of girls hockey has the Saanich Braves Minor Hockey Association moving forward with its girls years ahead of schedule.

This year Saanich is icing two girls teams, atom (9-10) and peewee (11-12), and may be adding bantam (13-14) next year.

“The original plan was to start with a skills development program in the first year and then add new teams every year or two, with a goal of having teams in all the divisions from atom to midget (15-16) by 2020,” said Ian Fleetwood, SMHA’s new director of female hockey.

“Prior to August 2014 all we had was a plan, but no players. Then we had 11 girls start playing hockey last

season. It’s a year ahead of schedule

for the peewee team and would be two years ahead of schedule for the bantam, Fleetwood said. There are also more girls than ever in the Braves novice age (7-8), a mixed level with the boys, a result he thinks is because they know there’s a girls team waiting for them as they age up.

The lack of infrastructure for girls hockey is strange for Fleetwood, who arrived here from Nova Scotia three years ago. Not only is it well established there, Fleetwood knows of entire leagues and associations dedicated to girls in Ontario.

“When I came here, I just kept hearing that there were no girls who wanted to play hockey, when in fact the problem was really just that there were no teams for them to play on.”

A few girls played on integrated teams with boys, about a dozen sprinkled from atom (four) up to midget (one) and so on, but not enough to make a team. Those girls often

end up being the only girl on the team.

“They need to go sit in a different dressing room to get ready and miss out on a lot of the socializing and camaraderie that goes on before and after a hockey game. With all the girls in the same room, they make friends quickly and have a lot more fun. I think they learn the game faster in this environment.”

As healthy as things are at the moment, Fleetwood said there’s still room on the girls teams for new players who want to join this season.

Fleetwood coaches on the ice with, Maegan Thompson, Jennie Tuttle and Phoenix Lawery, all with great hockey knowledge and skills.

The Braves also get help from previous grads, such as Shayla MacDonald and Mickeely Rippin, who graduated from Braves boys teams into the local girls rep team, the South Island Royals.

PieOff raises funds for food bank


On Saturday, raising money for the less fortunate was easy as, well, pie.

The Mustard Seed Street Church kicked off six weeks of fundraising with its annual PieOff Challenge this past

weekend, pieing a range of prominent figures in the name of charity at the Victoria Public Market at the Hudson. Dozens of shaving cream pies were whipped up for the occasion

Saanich Gulf Islands MP Elizabeth May, Victoria city councillors Charlayne Thorn-Joe and Marianne Alto, Victoria Police Chief Frank Elsner and the Superheroes of Victoria each took a pie to the face, among many, many others.

“The food and funds collected through this challenge will

be used to provide nutritious necessities and help our clients and their families break free from the cycle of poverty,” reads the church’s website. “We serve over 5,000 clients within the region each month. Some are homeless, all are hungry.”

Mustard Seed has set a goal of 100,000 pounds of food and $100,000 for their food bank. The church will host the official Weigh-In on Oct. 30 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Tom FletcherBlack Press

A roaring real estate market is expected to generate $200 million more than the province expected in property transfer tax this year, further pushing up housing costs in urban areas that are already beyond the reach of many people.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong says he is working on new ways to reduce the burden of a tax that

hits properties every time they are sold. That could include a higher rate for high-priced properties, as suggested by Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson. He suggested it as a way to discourage property flipping in a city that sees bidding wars for all but the most costly homes.

Since the tax was brought in by former premier Bill Vander Zalm in 1987, its take has grown to more than $1 billion a year. Since its inception, it has charged one per cent on the first $200,000 of the home purchase price and two per cent on the rest, taking about $10,000 on the sale of a $600,000 home.

De Jong said he is considering adding a third step for high-end properties, with revenues used to reduce the burden on middle-priced homes. Another option considered for next February’s budget is to raise the exemption for first-time buyers, currently spared the tax up to $475,000.

“How many first-time buyers are purchasing

homes in excess of that is a question that deserves to be asked before we tout a further reduction of that threshold,” de Jong said.

Statistics Canada reports that Vancouver’s housing price index was up 1.6 per cent in July, compared to the same month last year. Victoria’s index fell by 1.5 per cent.

Premier Christy Clark said in February she wants to eliminate the property transfer tax in the long term, once the province’s debt is reduced. De Jong’s financial update showed the province paying down operating debt accumulated since the recession of 2008-09.

NDP finance critic Carole James said the province is expecting a $277 million surplus this year, most of it accounted for by the windfall from property transfer tax.

“For an economy to rely on a hot housing market in the Lower Mainland and [Vancouver] Island is a problem,” James said. “We need a diverse economy.”

A roaring real estate market is expected to generate $200 million more than the province expected in property transfer tax this year, further pushing up housing costs in urban areas that are already beyond the reach of many people.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong says he is working on new ways to reduce the burden of a tax that

hits properties every time they are sold. That could include a higher rate for high-priced properties, as suggested by Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson. He suggested it as a way to discourage property flipping in a city that sees bidding wars for all but the most costly homes.

Since the tax was brought in by former premier Bill Vander Zalm in 1987, its take has grown to more than $1 billion a year. Since its inception, it has charged one per cent on the first $200,000 of the home purchase price and two per cent on the rest, taking about $10,000 on the sale of a $600,000 home.

De Jong said he is considering adding a third step for high-end properties, with revenues used to reduce the burden on middle-priced homes. Another option considered for next February’s budget is to raise the exemption for first-time buyers, currently spared the tax up to $475,000.

“How many first-time buyers are purchasing

homes in excess of that is a question that deserves to be asked before we tout a further reduction of that threshold,” de Jong said.

Has my vision changed?How frequently should one “change ones glass-

es?” There is no hard and fast answer to this question. Certain people are able to keep the same prescription for two or three years, sometimes longer, while others require more frequent changes. Nearsighted children and adults between age forty and sixty, usually fall into the latter category, often requiring new prescrip-tions annually for several years.

Typically, most adults will require lenses for reading and near work, when they reach their early forties. If distance vision is good without glasses, “readers” are often all that is necessary; but if distance correction is needed, bifocals or progressive lenses are most com-monly prescribed. The reading prescription usually changes about every one to two years until age sixty or so. After sixty, barring eye health problems such as cataracts, the vision is usually very stable, and only minor changes are required.

The best way to monitor these changes is to have routine eye examinations. Not only do these timely visits ensure the eyes are healthy, they are the most effective way to ensure a person is seeing as well as he or she should.


Artist goes bananas for exhibitLocally born artist Anna

Banana has curved right back to Victoria.

The artist returns to her stomping ground to celebrate the opening of a major retrospective of her work, Anna Banana: 45 Years of Fooling Around with A. Banana, from Sept. 19 to Jan. 3 at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria.

Anna Banana, formerly Anne Lee Long, was a mother, wife, textile artist and teacher in Victoria and Vancouver during the 1960s when an unquenchable desire to explore art and challenge existing ideals led her to declare herself Victoria’s Town Fool in 1971. She organized a variety of events aimed at engaging the public in creative endeavours and began circulating her newsletter, the Banana Rag – still in publication – which connected her to artists in a range of cities.

“Banana’s participatory initiatives were amongst the most avant-garde art being practised in Victoria,” says Michelle Jacques, chief curator of the AGGV. “Victoria wasn’t the easiest place in which to go against the grain,

so in 1974, she moved to San Francisco where she found a community of like-minded artists and her work flourished.”

Banana’s interactive performance art included the Banana Olympics of 1975 in San Francisco and

1980 in Surrey. Recent work included a parody research project, Proof Positive Germany is Going Bananas, that toured Germany in 1993, and But, is it Art? which she took to various European cities in 2009 and 2011.

Anna Banana will give an artist talk at Open Space, second floor, 510 Fort St. on Sept. 26, at 2 p.m.

A complementary exhibition at Open Space will be on view from Sept. 19 through Oct. [email protected]

Overnight anchoring in the Gorge waterway could soon become a thing of the past.

A number of derelict

boats and floating vessels have been permanently anchored off the Selkirk Trestle near Banfield Park for a number of years, sparking complaints about leaking sewage,

oil, fuel, noise, and garbage from area residents.

In an effort to address the issue, Victoria council passed a bylaw in October 2014 that

prohibits overnight anchoring, but the portion of water that was experiencing all the problems is owned by the province.

In order to

implement the bylaw, the city applied for a licence of occupation from the province so it could occupy the land. Officials have been waiting patiently to hear back from the

province about the licence, but now staff now have a copy in hand that’s currently under review.

Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps anticipates the city should have the licence finalized by October, then proceed with a staged enforcement on the boats.

“What we’re not going to do is go in and rip everybody out of there. What we’re going to do first is ask for the people to comply with the bylaw, have some conversations initially. We hope for compliance from all of the boats that are there,” said Helps, adding those living on boats that are economically vulnerable will be helped with either moving their boat somewhere they can continue to live on it or be matched with a housing provider.

“We don’t actually know all of the circumstances of all the people, but we want to do this in a way that’s going to be respectful. The community has been very patient for a long time. Also there’s the ecology of the area to consider.”

Helps isn’t sure exactly how many problem boats are still parked in the Gorge, but at one point the numbers reached

two dozen. Not all of them, however, have people living on them, she noted, and some property owners moor their boats there because it’s cheaper than a marina.

Bernie Goudet, president of the Victoria West Community Association, said the anchoring problems began about seven or eight years ago. Some residents view it as a fair way of providing affordable housing, but the bulk are concerned about boaters not being held accountable for sewage and other risks to the environment.

“There is some variation in how the community would like to see the area governed, but overall the community is in favour of there being some kind of regulatory approach where people are allowed to be there for a restricted period of time and they have to follow some very clear rules around health and safety related to the boat, themselves and the environment,” said Goudet.

“The few who have expressed an interest in accounting for the folks out there have actually gone out and met them and know them to be good people.”

After a successful round of sessions over the summer, the University of Victoria’s computer science department will continue the program and invite seniors to attend another series of free courses about the digital world.

Anyone interested in learning about devices or websites is welcome to attend. The sessions will cover Google and search engines, email, Facebook, Twitter and the concept of social media, Microsoft Word and digital productivity, iPads, iPhones and other mobile devices.

It will describe digital privacy and outline steps to take to stay secure in the increasingly interconnected world. There will be a short question period at the end of each session, if time permits. Feel free to bring suggestions for future content. No prior computer experience is required.

The sessions will be held on Sept. 26, Oct. 3, Nov. 7 and Dec. 5 in the Engineering and Computer Science building, room ECS 258. Please enter through the north entrance, facing away from Ring Road. Please register to attend by emailing [email protected] or phoning 250-472-5854.

In 1966, the great nonfiction writer Joan Didion wrote a personal essay titled ‘On Keeping a Notebook’ in which she discusses the intimacy of ephemera and her need to record observations of life’s details. It’s a gorgeous essay, more about how we change over time than about note-taking per se, which reminds me of how gardens change over time and how we – fallible and flawed – forget.

Plant names, origins, zones, preferences. Sun or shade? Perennial or biennial?

You don’t need to know everything to be a great a gardener, but you do need to know how to find what it is you need to know. And I’ll argue that your own notebook is the best place to start.

Enter the blank page, the recipe box, a map, or the spreadsheet – whatever spurs you to record the details of life outdoors.

My garden notebook lives on my potting bench. It’s black, hard-covered – a large sketchbook, wire bound, its pages notched address book style (by me), A to Z. Originally an inch thick, the book now bulges to an ungainly three inches given I have stapled plant tags into it. This stapling may not be the best idea given that plastic brittles with age, but the stapler is faster than hand-recording every detail and ease of use equates to likelihood of use in my life, particularly when it comes to systems of personal organization.

Given I have a penchant for botanical Latin, I organize my notebook by plant name, not location. One problem with this alphabetical approach is that one must remember a plant’s genus. Failing that, a flip through is always fun and a solid endorsement for the plant tag approach – as we all know, when it comes to memory, pictures work. (A map or a what’s-in-which-bed guide can also jog a memory.)

My sketchbook gives me the option to jot notes: I record failures predominantly

– what has died and why (if I know), or where I’ve moved a plant and when. Under ‘M’ for magnolia, this sad story unfolds: “Magnolia soulangeana ‘Rustica rubra’ 2009? Front road. No go – clay/wind. In rear border, ok.

2011: Needs staking? Colour 5/10.” Four years on, my notebook reminds me the magnolia doesn’t look much better and I’m due to cut my losses. The older I get,

the more I realize most gardens are too small for me.

I’ve assigned at least

a few pages for each letter of the alphabet and a lengthier ‘death’, ‘dahlia’ and ‘rose’ sections at the back.

I find happier notes under ‘P’: “Parahebe perfoliata, 2008. In damp. Repeat blue bloom.” Next to this note, I’ve sketched three stars. Later, I find Pittosporum ‘James Stirling’. “Hard hit by north wind, 2011: Needs new spot. Moved 2012, but needs more shade to

stay bright green…’ That ellipsis is spot on: many plant stories never end. In the case of the Pittosporum, I should add, “2015 – Happy now with drainage. Great vase life.”

The beauty of designing your own notebook means you can record what it is you care about. I’m interested in bloom time and have noted Cephalaria gigantea as: “Excellent, pale yellow, begins June 15,” or for the tall pink-blooming deer-proof perennial, Eupatorium aka Joe Pye-Weed, “August: Pink looks awful next to yellow. Move.”

Didion writes that her notebook is ‘an indiscriminate and erratic assemblage with meaning only for its maker.’ I hasten to agree. After six years, my book has swollen so that it can never really be shelved. It will not go down in the annals of history. It will remain dirty, accessible, and useful.

A record of who I was, what I wanted for my garden, and how together we have grown.

The three contenders for the prime minister’s office clashed in their second debate Thursday

evening in Calgary, where slumping oil prices and industry layoffs framed a discussion on the economy.

NDP leader Tom Mulcair accused

Conservative Stephen Harper of having a “rip and ship approach” to natural resource development, adding that Harper “put all of his eggs in one basket, and then dropped the

basket.”Harper said it is

“simply false” that the oil industry’s woes represent the entire economy, and overall it continues to perform well and produce more

tax revenue despite a 40 per cent reduction in small business taxes and other tax cuts.

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau said his plan also includes reduction in small

business taxes, and he emphasized he is the only leader willing to raise personal income taxes on the wealthiest one per cent of income earners, to finance a cut for the middle class.

Moderated by David Walmsley, editor of The Globe and Mail, the debate drew out differences between the three established party leaders on several topics.

Greenhouse gases:• Mulcair favours a

cap-and-trade system, but he avoided questions about what his system would cost the economy or consumers. The NDP will “enforce overarching sustainable development legislation,” he said.

• Trudeau defended his position that each province should address emissions in its own way. He said Mulcair wants to impose a national bureaucracy, including on B.C., which Trudeau called a world leader in use of carbon tax.

• Harper said carbon taxes are about revenues to government, not the environment. He said under his 10-year administration, Canada has seen a decline in emissions while the economy grew, adding that his government invests $1 billion a year in alternative energy.

Infrastructure:• Trudeau defended

his plan to run three deficits of up to $10 billion to finance roads and other infrastructure, with interest rates at a low ebb and Canada’s debt relative to the size of the economy declining.

• Mulcair called Trudeau’s plan “reckless and

uncosted,” while the NDP calls for steady investment over 20 years.

• Harper said over 10 years, his government has spent 15 times what the previous Liberal government spent on infrastructure. That includes record deficits for public works projects in the wake of the 2009 economic crisis.

Taxation:• Harper said the

other parties promise tax relief for small businesses, but their plans to increase Canada Pension Plan and Employment Insurance premiums amount to a payroll tax 10 times as big as their small business tax cuts.

• Mulcair said he will raise income tax from 15 to 17 per cent for large corporations, but he believes individuals are paying their fair share now. Mulcair reminded viewers that Trudeau has supported Conservative budgets, and his first vote in Parliament was to support Harper’s tax “giveaway” to big business.

• Trudeau emphasized that his is the only plan that increases taxes for bank executives and other wealthy individuals as well as on banks, while reducing income tax on the middle class.

Green Party MP Elizabeth May wasn’t invited to the Globe debate, but chipped in with videos on her Twitter account. In one, May noted that there was no discussion of “investor state agreements” such as one with China that have intruded on Canada’s sovereignty.

Federal leaders spar on Canadian economy

B.C. government liquor stores are collecting donations to help the Red Cross in its efforts to assist refugees fleeing four years of civil war and recent terrorist invasion.

Customers are asked to donate $2, $5 or multiples of that amount. Red Cross is providing emergency supplies to Syrian refugees including food, water, clothing, temporary shelter and hygiene items.

The federal government has established a $100 million fund to match donations from individual Canadians and registered charities, from now to the end of 2015. The B.C. government has also established a $1 million fund to help Syrian refugees settling in B.C.

The previous donation drive by B.C. Liquor Stores collected $102,000 for assistance to people affected by wildfires in the Rock Creek and Oliver areas.

Liquor stores collect for relief

CONTESTS WINGREAT PRIZES


Winches, pushpits, pulpits, stanchions, the babystay and forestay, capital costs, insurance, navigation, mooring costs and swabbing the deck – there is a learning curve, elbow grease, and finances involved in learning the sport of sailing.

Co-operative sailboat ownership has been introduced to the Oak Bay Marina

by the Victoria Sailing Co-Op. This has made taking the plunge of learning to sail much easier. The premise for the co-op is that for a small capital investment and a reasonable annual fee, members can sail for at least 150 hours during the summer months, and more when the boats are available. Overnight and weekend

reservations can be arranged.

In the year since its inception, the co-op has enrolled 25 members who have access to two sailboats, a 24-foot C&C and a 30-foot Catalina. Use of the sailboats is through a graduated system of qualifications. The Victoria Sailing Co-Op has certified instructors available

and a reservation website is designed to notify crew members of sailing availability with certified skippers.

There are many different motivations for joining the co-op, but two of the top benefits are the sharing of costs and maintenance (20 hours per year). Members also appreciate the shared skill sets which

different people bring to the co-op. While some members are sailing gurus, others have experience in carpentry, rigging, wiring, mechanics, painting or dinghy repair.

A “day sailing” skipper is required to have a Pleasure Craft Operating Card, a

marine radio licence and the appropriate certification for the 24-foot or 30-foot sailboat.

Safety is also a primary concern with the sailing co-op. Flares and fire extinguishers are checked regularly and everyone on a sailing trip wears a personal

floatation device at all times. Each boat has a depth sounder, radio and paper charts.

The Victoria Sailing Co-Op is one of several co-operatives in the Pacific Northwest.

More information can be found at the website: victoriasailingcoop.ca.

Minimum wage rises

B.C.’s minimum wage has risen 20 cents to $10.45 an hour, the first annual increase since the provincial government tied it to the B.C. consumer price index.

It’s the first increase since 2012, when the wage was increased to $10.25. For restaurant and pub servers, the minimum wage rises from $9 to $9.20, to account for income earned in tips.

NDP labour critic Shane Simpson called the increase “dismal” and “paltry.” B.C. Federation of Labour president Irene Lanzinger said by the end of 2015, B.C. will have the second lowest minimum wage in Canada.

“Seattle will reach $15 an hour by 2017, Alberta by 2018,” Lanzinger said. “B.C.’s minimum wage will reach $15 per hour by 2034.”

Rob Reynolds isn’t above stopping the car and knocking on a stranger’s door for a tree laden with apples.

“We find trees all over the city. There are a lot in Oak Bay. There’s a lot of what used to be orchards,” said Reynolds, who grew up in Oak Bay and still works in the community.

He’s part of the Greater Victoria Cider Enthusiasts Association, which boasts a Facebook membership of more than 90, that scours the South Island in search of apples that would go to waste otherwise.

“There are some gems in Oak Bay for sure,” said Kyle Hunker, an Oak Bay resident who sources his own trees as well as those in the community.

The enthusiasts formed three years ago, after meeting each other through the local home brewing community. A group from BrewVic sought to explore beyond beer into ciders and wines. Also a contingent of expat Brits were desperate to find a dry, less sweet cider than the staple readily available.

“I fell in love with cider when I lived in the West Country in the U.K.,” said Kalynka Cherkosh of Esquimalt.

Here, she found she couldn’t afford the good stuff on a regular basis and decided to take control of the situation.

“I wanted to make a nice meaty, drier farmhouse cider,” she said.

Cherkosh made few hundred litres that year and held a wassail in late winter to celebrate – a tradition they continue three years in.

“It just seems every year we’ve organized

a bit more,” she said. Now they hand out

the leaflets, and seek

out abandoned trees. A common theme for the older generation

is a hatred of waste. Where an older homeowner used to

pick and preserve each fall, they simply don’t have the ability

anymore and want to see it put to use. They’ll pick the

apples, or in some cases pears, and leave as much as the household can utilize, Reynolds said.

“We’re trying to turn fallen fruit into caught fruit,” Cherkosh said.

“There’s so much fruit in this city that just falls to the ground,” she said, adding she’d far rather do the work to capture, process and enjoy the fruits of that labour, than see it rotting on the ground, attracting deer and wasps.

Then the Cider Enthusiasts benefit with good local product as opposed to being stuck using ready-made juice for their cider making.

“It’s the difference between Wonder Bread and a beautiful loaf of bread from Fol Epi,” Cherkosh said. “Sometimes I want a fluffy white bread, but not every day.”

To offer apples for the Greater Victoria Cider Enthusiasts Association, email [email protected].
