Focus on the farm Municipal Farm Challenge asks local candidates to pledge protection for ALR Daniel Palmer News staff

One of Saanich’s most prominent farmers is throwing down the gauntlet to Capital Region municipal candidates by asking them to publicly pledge to protect farmland. Nathalie Chambers, who runs the 11-hectare Madrona Farm on Blenkinsop Road with her husband, will host the first Municipal Farmland Challenge to coincide with the farm’s annual Chef Survival Challenge on Sept. 7. “We’re inviting all councillors who have a good record of protecting farmland as well as new candidates to take part,” Chambers said. Once at Madrona, the friendly competition will see politicians turn soil and plant a row of crops. After a winner is declared, each participant will pledge support on video for the protection of the Capital Region’s supply of arable land. “Saanich is so good with protecting farmland, but many municipalities aren’t,” Chambers said. “We’re some of the highest food bank users

Our failure of food security is right here in our backyard.” Central Saanich Coun. Zeb King is already firmly behind the pledge event. He said the province is weakening the Agricultural Land Reserve, and that means active farmland protection is even more crucial in urban areas.

King said municipal land use bylaws and other local authority can “determine whether or not urban sprawl will be allowed to intrude further into our region’s finest and fertile arable land.” Chambers hopes all of the region’s mayors will take part in the event, though she still hasn’t

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF

Campfire ban lifted for weekend

Campfires are again permitted throughout the Coastal Fire Centre’s jurisdiction, which includes Victoria and Esquimalt. Controlled fires are permitted due to cooler weather, which results in decreased wildfire risk in the region. Campfires must not be larger than a half-metre high by a half-metre wide. Anyone who lights a campfire must have a hand tool (such as a shovel) or at least eight litres of water available to fully extinguish it. Small backyard burning piles remain prohibited within the Coastal Fire Centre. Anyone found in violation of an open burning prohibition may be issued a ticket of up to $345 or fined up to $100,000 and sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes a wildfire, the person may be subject to a penalty of up to $10,000 and ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs.

Hockey pool nets free car

Greater Victoria resident Kelly Dahmen won a new 2014 Kia Optima for picking the right players in a CBC Hockey Night in Canada fantasy hockey pool. The sedan giveaway, held by Graham Kia, coincided with Kia Canada’s fourth annual Drive Change event. Kia Canada’s 160 dealerships across the country made a donation to a community organization. Graham Kia donated $1,000 worth of school supplies to families in need, and also hosted a fundraiser barbecue for The Mustard Seed food bank during the campaign. editor@saanichnews.com

Community kitchen finds a home Shelbourne Street rental property ideal for classes, garden Daniel Palmer News staff

The Shelbourne Community Kitchen is moving into a permanent home after Saanich council gave the location a thumbs up last week. The community kitchen, which offers meal preparation and other food literacy classes, will be up and running later this year at a three-bedroom bungalow at 3541 Shelbourne St. A nearby private garden will also be used to harvest vegetables. “It’s not a very big house,” said Laura Cochrane, organizer with the community kitchen. “We wanted to offer something

more meaningful than a bag of groceries. This is an opportunity to build community, to meet people and share these experiences in a community setting.” The group has been running food literacy and meal preparation classes out of St. Aiden’s United and the Lutheran Church of the Cross for the past year. Since then, clients who drop in to use food hampers have been invited to food preparation classes to help them save money and get more creative with meals. “We’ve had up to 12 people in our weekly Easy Meals and Healthy Start classes,” Cochrane said. “We’re just recognizing that many people just don’t have enough income to do all the things they need to do. Healthy, nutritious food is difficult to get on the table.” Last year, in partnership with the Mount Tolmie Community Association, Camosun Community Associ-

ation and local churches, organizers secured a $100,000, three-year grant from the National Lutheran Church to expand their services. A lack of fixed address continued to be a hiccup in the long-term viability of the kitchen before last week, Cochrane said. “What we were really looking for was a location right on the bus line and easily accessible by walking,” she said. “We had to ask permission to move into a house, because we won’t be using it strictly for residential use.” Parking won’t be an issue when the community programs begin, as the adjacent Shelbourne Street Church of Christ will offer its parking lot on weekdays to community kitchen users. There are also plans to reach out to disabled residents and isolated seniors, and run programs specifically tailored to their needs. “We can do a lot more together,

and that’s the point, especially if people are single, they can be isolated,” Cochrane said. “Food prices just keep going up and up and people’s incomes just aren’t keeping pace with it.” See more at shelbournecommunitykitchen.ca. editor@saanichnews.com

Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, president of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs and Steven Deroy of The Firelight Group take part in the Indigenous Mapping Workshop held at the University of Victoria this week.

First Nations map past for future with Google Natalie North Black Press

While the impact of the Mount Polley mine spill on the greater marine ecosystem and salmon fisheries is still being deciphered, a mapping initiative with Indigenous communities is creating a base of knowledge to protect against such disasters in the future. More than 100 Indigenous organizations from across Canada met this week at the University of Victoria, including Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, president of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, for the Indigenous Mapping Workshop. Stewart said the Northern B.C. mine spill and current battle over the development of sacred burial grounds on Grace Islet off Salt Spring Island are examples of the “undeniable urgency” of mapping lands, waters, resources and knowledge, while communities are losing elders at an alarming rate. “Our history is written on the land itself,” Grand Chief Phillip said. “I don’t think that there’s any question that Indigenous mapping is becoming more and more critical to the ongoing debate, discussion and dialogue with respect to resource man-

agement issues and title court cases.” The government of Canada’s “current obsession with advancing natural resource projects,” in addition to pipeline proposals and the province’s interest in LNG exploration, has only added to the urgency, he said. “It’s of utmost importance that we develop the capacity, through the use of modern technology to ensure that our information is properly depicted on maps to protect our title and

“Indigenous mapping is becoming more and more critical.” - Grand Chief Stewart Phillip rights interests,” Phillip said. That modern technology, came to the workshop via Google Earth Outreach, which offers in-depth training sessions for anyone interested in leveraging such programs as Google Maps. “Google Earth is a great piece of software because it’s so empowering,” said Brian Thom, professor in UVic’s department of Anthropology and workshop co-organizer. “It’s a free tool,

it’s very easy to use and it has wonderful imagery of the surface of the Earth that we can see in three dimensions. We can fly through the landscape. We can sit down with an elder in an office and we’re flying through the places that they know, where they’ve gone their whole lives and they can evoke the stories and know that fishing rock or this part of the history.” The workshop allowed Aboriginal communities to share experiences of mapping their territories, record their place names and hunting, trapping and fishing locations. The process has even evolved into an important conversation about cultural revitalization and assertion of title rights, Thom said. While the technology infused the event with a sense of excitement and possibility, Don Bain, executive director of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, began Monday’s workshops by underlining a sentiment just outside Google Earth’s gaze. “Mapping, or what we do in courts, or negotiation tables or the board room ... does not replace going out with your elder to fish, does not replace listening to the stories of family and friends,” Bain said. editor@saanichnews.com

ICBC is asking regulators to approve a 5.2 per cent increase in basic auto insurance rates, thanks to a rise in crashes involving distracted drivers.

A previously approved 5.2 per cent rate hike that took effect in 2013-14 means drivers will soon be paying 10.4 per cent more than they did in 2012 for basic coverage. ICBC blamed the latest increase on a continued rise in injury claims costs paid to crash victims for pain

Dozens of teachers from School District 63 rally Wednesday along the Royal Oak overpass, waving to passing motorists. Colin Plant, second vice president of the Saanich Teachers Association, said he was cautiously optimistic as B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker and Education Minister Peter Fassbender meet to resume labour negotiations this week.

Strike threatens school start Jeff Nagel Black Press

B.C. students are just days away from the scheduled start of a new school year but there’s little sign of a break in the ongoing teachers’ strike. The final week of summer holiday opened Sunday with a demand from B.C. Teachers Federation president Jim Iker for an immediate start to mediation. No formal bargaining dates are scheduled, but Iker, Education Minister Peter Fassbender and government negotiator Peter

Cameron met Wednesday afternoon in Victoria, raising hopes for some movement. Teachers have also stepped up picketing as both sides prepare for the strike to stretch into September. Saanich teachers also rallied along the Royal Oak overpass Wednesday morning. Veteran mediator Vince Ready is monitoring the talks and has indicated he will step into full mediation if it would be productive to do so. Both sides blame the other for a gulf between positions that’s too wide for Ready to attempt

to bridge. The province says the teachers’ pay and benefits demands remain far in excess of settlements reached with other public sector unions. Teachers, meanwhile, accuse the government of insisting on preconditions to talks that would unravel the union’s past court victories over the province on the stripping of contract terms on class size and special needs support. The province is appealing the latest court ruling against it. Visit saanichnews. com for the latest news.

OUR VIEW

Stigma remains in mental health Few can argue – successfully, anyway – against the statement that mental illness touches everyone. There are, of course, those with the diagnosis. Then there are their children, siblings, parents, friends and co-workers. Even complete strangers are often hit with the ripples, as society is forced to bear the burden of missed work days, medical visits, inadequate treatment options, etc. It doesn’t matter that research has led to many strategies and treatments that, when adhered to, can help sufferers live productive, even normal, lives. Perhaps if it felt easier to talk openly about mental illness, things would be different. For those directly affected, it can feel simpler to try to ignore the reality – to keep the door closed and the windows shuttered, so to speak. Not the healthiest approach, really, but common nonetheless. And while time has led to strides in the realm of mental illness, it has done less for society’s acceptance of it as a disease. Many worthwhile stories do not get told in these pages because of the stigma attached to mental illness; the fear people have of being branded by going public with their struggle. ‘Mental illness’ is still two words that, despite so-called progress, few afflicted with the likes of depression or schizophrenia or paranoia dare to mutter outside – sometimes even inside – their immediate family. Make no mistake, there are tireless advocates in Saanich for the mentally ill. Many of these individuals are parents, siblings, friends or colleagues of those living with a mental illness. A few are those individuals themselves, who have taken that brave step into the spotlight. All know firsthand the impact of the conditions. They know the difference that acceptance – both of the conditions and the person trying to live a balanced, productive life with them – makes, and we can all learn from them. But there is still a long way to go. No one should feel the need to hide something they cannot control. The reality is, many of us share the blame for the fact so many people do. What do you think?

B.C. farmers and ranchers about how best to grow the agriculture sector while encouraging them to provide input on the consultation. I’m pleased to report we had a strong response from all groups with a broad range of thoughtful comments for consideration. A Ministry team, together with agriculture policy experts, will read through all of the comments and create a report and summary that will identify main themes and ideas. This report will be presented to the Minister’s reference group, and will be shared publicly. I want to thank all the British Columbians who took the time to get involved and contacted me with ideas and input. I’d also like to thank the ALC, whose input and experience was invaluable throughout this process, for their assistance at the regional sessions, as well as the members of the board of the B.C. Agriculture Council, other industry representatives, members of the UBCM, and MLAs who attended these sessions as observers. We believe giving farmers more opportunities to grow their farming businesses is a benefit to them. We also think it’s a benefit to British Columbians who want access to more foods grown in this province. I am confident that together, we can help ensure a strong future for farming in British Columbia. Norm Letnick Minister of Agriculture

The beginning of the school year has nearly arrived, but there’s no telling exactly how long it may be before classes resume as the B.C. teachers’ strike continues and parents are faced with securing additional childcare. At press time, less than a week before classes were slated to begin, several options in Saanich remained open in the likely event schools are not. While independent programs held across picket lines within schools won’t be able to accommodate even their usual capacity, increasing the childcare crunch, several organizations have stepped up with summer camp extensions for five to 11 year olds. One such organization is the University of Victoria Vikes Camp, where staff plan to extend two camps, one for five to seven year olds and the other for eightto 11 year olds, at the university’s Ian Stewart Complex. “We appreciate the stress

“We appreciate the stress that both parties are under.” - Sandy Ferrin, Vikes camp programmer

Registration is open to the public for the four-and five-day camps from Sept. 2 – 5 and 8 – 12 at $120 and $150, respectively, at vikesrec.uvic.ca. At Saanich Commonwealth Place, a general school closure camp is on offer for the same period at $144 and $180 each week, along with the guarantee that should school resume, the rec centre will pro-rate the cost. Similar programming is available at Gordon Head rec centre. Saanich Community Services also hosts the Playground Program, a subsidized day camp that sees kids entertained outside in Saanich parks all day. Campers will have access to a hut and washrooms, as well as rainy day locations. Meadow

Park, Copley Park, and Reynolds Park set the scene for much more affordable camp at $85 weekly, or $25 drop-in daily. Visit saanich.ca for contact details. “Families should be on top of it pretty quickly because space is filling up,” said Saanich Commonwealth Place recreation programmer Alyssa Taylor, noting the 25-child drop-in limit program wide. Visit saanich.ca for contact details. Meanwhile Kids Klub, a Christian non-profit organization offering daycare, preschool and after school care around Greater Victoria, isn’t able to provide for its regular families. “Most of them, we can’t get into the schools,” said Tertia Yates, executive director of Kids Klub. Fourteen of Kids Klub’s 21 childcare sites are located across picket lines. Just four of Kids Klub’s 13 Saanich locations remain open, and are currently at capacity. Because the organization is licensed by Island Health, sites require approval from the health authority, a process which takes several weeks to complete, and one Kids Klub has not yet undertaken. “We’re just saying we’re really sorry,” Taylor said, “but we’re full.”

Five student worthy cars under ten grand By Bob McHugh

Finding five used cars under ten grand doesn’t sound like too big a challenge, until a “for a college student” stipulation is added. In my mind, this adds a few requirements as the car has to be, easy on fuel, reliable, easy to park, good on gas, thrives on abuse, room for friends, room for a bike and camping gear, super fuel efficient ... and look good! So, bearing in mind the last requirement is a highly subjective one and ignoring the (no brainer) most popular car in Canada (Honda Civic), here are five vehicle suggestions – in no particular order:

Pontiac Vibe (2010 or older): Although the Pontiac Vibe looks different, you also know this compact 4-door hatchback as the Toyota Matrix. A joint (GM/Toyota) production venture ended with the 2010 model year, as did the Pontiac brand. The resale value of a Vibe is generally lower than a same year/condition Matrix, or conversely, you may be able to buy a newer/lower mileage Vibe. The ’09 Vibe was a second generation redesign and a slightly bigger model

that came in front-drive and all-wheeldrive editions, and in base and GT trim levels. The base engine is a gas-miser 1.8-litre (132 horsepower) and a 2.4-litre (158 horsepower) engine comes in the AWD and GT models. Fuel consumption (1.8L/FWD): 8.0/6.2 L/100 km (city/highway) Fuel consumption (2.4L/AWD): 10.3/7.8 L/100 km (city/highway)

Honda Fit (2010 or older): The Honda Fit is a small, but taller, 4-door hatchback that was introduced for the 2007 model year and came in DX, LX and Sport trim levels. Its seats can be reconfigured in an amazing variety of ways and there’s even a couch/bed recliner position. The 2009 model was a second generation redesign with a more powerful 117 horsepower (up from 109-horsepower) 1.5-litre engine that’s mated to either a five-speed manual transmission or optional five-speed automatic. In the Sport edition, this automatic also comes with paddle shift gear selection at the steering wheel. Fuel consumption (1.5L/FWD): 7.1/5.5 L/100 km (city/highway)

Jeep Patriot (2010 or older): The Patriot could also be called “Jeep Light”, as it’s an affordable, compact yet capable SUV/wagon that’s surprisingly fuel-efficient. Available in both frontdrive and four-wheel-drive configurations, Jeep launched Patriot for the 2007 model year and it’s a good match of an active lifestyle young person that enjoys the outdoors. Patriot came in Sport, North and Limited trim levels and the base engine is a 2.0-litre that can produce 158-horsepower and 2.4-litre that can produce 172 horsepower is the upgrade. The transmissions offered were a 5-speed manual transmission or a fuel-efficient CVT (continuously variable transmission) automatic. If serious 4-wheeling is contemplated look for models with a trail-rated Freedom II off-road package that adds protective skid plates, etc. The downside is increased weight and higher fuel consumption.

Nissan Versa (2011 or older): The Nissan Versa may look small on the outside, but this four-door sedan or hatchback has an amazing amount of space on the inside. The extra head and leg room provided make it a very good match for a taller or bigger than average young person. Versa offers seating for four (squeeze five) full-sized adults and extra-large rear passenger doors also make getting in or out easier. The lower-priced sedan comes with a 1.6-litre (107-horsepower) engine and a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic. The hatchback comes with a 1.8-litre (122-horsepower) engine and a 6-speed manual, 4-speed automatic or a CVT automatic. Prior to 2010, a base Versa didn’t come with ABS (anti-lock braking system), and electronic stability control wasn’t even offered as an option. Its electronic-assist steering has an extra-light feel and it can turn on a (10.4 m) dime, making Versa an easy vehicle to park. Fuel consumption (1.6L/FWD): 7.7/5.8 L/100 km (city/highway – 5 Manual) Fuel consumption (1.8L/FWD): 8.5/6.2 L/100 km (city/highway – 4 Automatic) Fuel consumption (1.8L/FWD): 7.3/5.8 L/100 km (city/highway - CVT)

Fuel consumption (2.0L/FWD): 8.9/6.9 L/100 km (city/highway) Fuel consumption (2.4L/4WD): 9.9/8.2 L/100 km (city/highway)

Mazda3 (2009 or older): The first generation Mazda3 (2004 to 2009) set a new performance standard in the economy car segment. Sold as a four-door sedan or a (sportier) five-door hatchback, the Mazda3 has been a huge sales success in Canada. The four-door sedan editions of this Mazda3 come with (148-horsepower) 2.0-litre engine and in GX and GS trim levels. Sedan GT and (hatchback) Mazda3 Sport come in GS and GT trim levels and with a (156-horsepower) 2.3-litre engine, with more torque at lower engine speeds. A height adjustable, good supporting driver’s seat plus a standard tilt and telescopic steering column make the Mazda3’s driving position particularly praiseworthy. It definitely offers the best driving experience, but popularity also makes Mazda3 the priciest pick of this group. Fuel consumption (2.0L/FWD): 8.4/6.1 L/100 km (city/highway) Fuel consumption (2.3L/FWD): 9.5/6.8 L/100 km (city/highway)

Reviewing the attributes of these car leads me to suggest there’s at least one suitable for anybody on a budget. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

NEWS

Taking the rocky mountain way To say the drive from Vancouver to Calgary offers scenic vistas galore would be an understatement. And the opportunity to drive it the all-new 2015 Volkswagen GTI made it still more irresistible an opportunity. Time constraints allowed only for the most direct route there; taking the Trans-Canada, the 3, the 5 and then again onto the Highway 1. Appreciating the incredible topographical features the Trans Canada has to offer is something I don’t always do. But with a passenger from Ontario ogling the scenery changes, it made me proud to live in such a spectacular place. Okay, I was a lot proud. Whether driving surrounded by lush, emerald vegetation, desert or engulfed in mountain, there was no shortage of ocular stimulation in our 360 view. Furthermore, the GTI is no sleeper either. In fact, it’s probably my favourite VW on the market. And it got a lot better for 2015. Now in its seventh generation, it’s lighter than Golf Mk6, bigger, more T:8.5” T:8.5” fuel efficient, more powerful, and just more awesome. For a starting T:8.5” T:8.5”

The GTI builds on its razor sharp handling, improves the suspension and allows the driver to still have a great time behind the wheel. Not to mention, the 6-speed manual gearbox – it also comes in a 6-speed DSG automatic – is as smooth in shifts as can be. Being stuck in city traffic isn’t ideal, but when you can rev the engine a little higher, wait to shift and breathe in the excitement of the turbocharged ponies, what more can you ask for? You could also ask for beautiful scenery. Check. Prior to Revelstoke, if you’re heading east, there’s 3 Valley Gap. It appears almost out of nowhere. Looking like a cross between a Swiss chalet – no, not the place where you get a quarter chicken dinner – and an establishment you might recall from a Stephen King novel, this building that has more than 200 rooms reflects effortlessly on the lake in front of it. With the mountains towering over, the heritage ghost town certainly has some, er, charm. However, the strongest charm in the drive comes from the GTI. You could even say it’s the grandfather, or the inspiration for the term “hot hatch.” It’s not only hot in appearance, but in personality. It’s a car that does everything and does it well. It’s quiet at highway speeds. It’s tame in traffic, but inspiring on the twisty roads. And even on the track. It can also be entertaining. With the promise of wildlife “for the next 3 km,” my driving partner and I eagerly anticipated the sighting of some sort of horned mammal. A mountain goat would do. We’d even be okay with a bear. But alas, no such luck. Not even with a jaunt through Banff National Park. That’s okay, the premium Fender audio system did a good job of distracting our melancholy thoughts from the lack of wildlife sightings to the musical stylings of rock and roll. The adventure was fun, the surroundings breathtaking, and then mixing it with a car that has the complete package? Now that’s a road trip to remember.

CAMPUS NISSAN Ford Transit Connects By Ian Harwood

The 2014 Ford Transit Connect is a multi-purpose cargo van that could be a great addition to any size of business.

Looks:

In The Cab:

The driver’s seat is manually adjustable (sixway) with built-in armrest while the passenger has a four-way manually adjustable seat. Just like most cargo vans of today, the cab has the features once reserved

Safety first:

Standard front and side air bags will keep you safe in the event of a collision. Fourwheel anti-lock brakes and a tire pressure-monitoring system are standard. For security, Ford has developed a locking latch shielded door lock system to help keep your contents safe.

Power:

This vehicle is powered by a Duratec 2.5 litre four cylinder, mated to a six speed select shift automatic transmission. It puts out 169 horsepower and 171 lb ft of torque. There is also a 1.6L EcoBoost I-4 engine available with 178 horsepower and 184 lb ft of torque. Continued on next page

YOUR HEALTH

President’s own story: 15 years ago I started to have arthritis, prostate, kidney, snoring and sleep apnea problems, which were all helped quickly with natural health products. I made it my life’s purpose to help others. Nick A. Jerch

ARTHRITIS

Helps to relieve joint pain associated with osteoarthritis. Guaranteed also for rheumatoid and sciatica, (My own affliction). Truthful actual experiences from real people: < For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage spared me the endless torture I suffered day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON <My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA<I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON<I suffered for years. I tried everything and finally after taking a specially processed shark cartilage I was pain free in 2 weeks. After this experience I realized I could help many of those 5 million Canadian that suffer every day and night and I started to sell this same type of shark cartilage and helped hundreds of thousands of men and women to #1 NPN 80042283 have less pain or no pain at all. Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle Products. <Many people on our website write: “Can walk again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15 years can sleep at night” Rheumatoid arthritis in joints down 90%, same for my sister…hundreds of testimonials all with full names and towns. Shark bones/cartilage was a previously thrown away by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught for their cartilage. Don’t let any activist confuse you.

Bladder & Yeast Infection

A diuretic to help relieve mild urinary tract infections. True success stories by women: <Bladder & Yeast Infection #31 works within a day or two! My experience in the last 4 years is that whenever I feel symptoms of an infections I take two capsules for a day or two and the infection is gone. I love this product. Pat Pearce, 53, Brantford, ON < 30 years of bladder infections gone! For 30 years my doctor prescribed antibiotics. As soon as the medication finished the next bladder infection came back. After 2 days taking Bell # 31 I noticed a complete relief of my infection I had all these 30 years. God bless you all for helping all of us women. Emell Whitaker, 69, Bronx, NY< Bladder infections kept on coming back. Since starting Bell Bladder & Yeast Infection #31 my infection was gone and I now take it from time to time for prevention and I have no more bladder or yeast infections. I told family and friends how good Bell products are. Thank you! Maria Racz, 60, Vancouver, BC <Went to the bathroom 10 times in an hour and more frequently at night!. In the last 2 years I went a number of times to the doctor and got different antibiotics and none of them worked. My urination would burn enormously. I bought #31 NPN 80038535 your Bell Bladder & Yeast infection #31. I can now work all day or sleep all night without getting up to go to the bathroom.

Continued from previous page

Roadworthy:

While driving this Ford Transit Connect you feel like you’re driving a 2WD Ford Ranger. You’re able to manouevre around vehicles in tight parking lots and park in small parking spots, the only difference is you have a walk in cargo box on the back. This van would be perfect to convert into a special purpose van; it would be easy to add a wheel chair ramp or a lift without having to do too much modification.

Verdict:

All though this van has been available in the UK for many years, it has only been available in North American since 2011. The popularity of the Transit has increased substantially its introduction thanks to its versatility and size. It is here to stay.

You don’t have to be a competitive eater to enjoy yourself at the Saanich Fair. But if your idea of fun is wolfing down a belly full of Spam for a chance at some very unique bragging rights, you’ll be in the right place at the Saanich Fairgrounds (1528 Stelly’s Cross Rd.) this weekend, Aug. 30 to Sept. 1. Beyond pie, cupcake, watermelon, ice cream, and yes, Spam eating contests, Western Canada’s oldest continuous agricultural fair is home to three days of family fun, from the time the Highland Dancers hit the stage at 9 a.m. on Saturday, until Boogaloo en Orbit closes the show down on Monday evening. Other performances include sets from Chilliwack, Rukus, Phoenix, The Tumblin Dice, Bucko & Toad, Bourbon County, David Cormier, Tristan Thompson and Cynthia Davis. Magician Jordano the Great and Dan the One-Man Band roam the fairgrounds while an enigmatic scarecrow contest is set to crop up. But with more than 500 volunteers working year-round to put on the event, you’ll have to explore more of the fair to take in the full array of activities: horse shows, dog sports, star-gazing, master gardening, 4-H demos, donkey-leading, flower-arranging, swine showmanship – the list goes on. It also includes the midway, perhaps the most obvious attraction for kids – of all ages. The Saanich Fair opens at 8 a.m. daily and runs until 9 p.m. Saturday and Sunday and 6 p.m. Monday. Admission is $7-11, with children six and under welcomed for free. Check out saanichfair.ca for more information.

Labour Day staycations an easy lure in Saanich Natalie North Black Press

As the final days of summer slip away, this weekend could well be the last to soak up the sun. Before the winter vacation planning begins, why not take advantage of our coastal hideaway with a trip to one of Saanich’s best beaches? Gorge Waterway Park: After a push to revitalize the oncefavoured swimming hole, the Gorge is back on the map as a prime locale to go for a dip. The park on Gorge Road West may

never compete with Elk/Beaver Lake as the place to pack up the kids and go for a swim, but the beautifully maintained park area and easy beach access should put it in the running as a pleasant getaway minutes from home. Whitehead Park: Prospect Lake residents won’t need reminding of the benefits of Whitehead Park: 1.2 hectares of parkland, beach access, boat launch, picnic area and playground. But for the rest of us – perhaps a drive into rural Saanich is in order. Find the

park off Prospect Lake Road. Cadboro-Gyro Park: No list of Saanich beaches would be complete without the sandy shore of Cadboro Bay. For those curious to leave the known beauty of the beach and nearby village amenities, however, some fantastic accesses dotted along the shoreline drive from Cadboro to Mount Douglas Park are often overlooked. Also check out Glencoe Cove-Kevatsech, Hollydene, Cranford and Arbutus Cove parks.

Chef survival challenge Sept. 7 Cheer on your favourite local chefs as they prove their dedication to local sustainable ingredients and the lengths they will go to protect the farms that provide the best in local foods. The seventh annual Chef Survival Challenge takes place Sept. 7 at Madrona Farm. Each chef is paired with a firefighter assistant as they hang, hurdle, balance, zipline, climb, crawl and even race boats around the 11-hectare farm to pick the right ingredients for their cooking competition. The chefs, and one honorary firefighter, will then be forced to cook their culinary creations on nothing more than camping stoves. Tickets ($40 adults/$15 youth) includes a feast, music and an obstacle race. Madrona Farm sells its fruits and vegetables daily at a roadside market stand on Blenkinsop Road. The farm produces a diversity of 105 crops, 12 months a year and keeps foul and other wildlife on its grounds. See chefsurvivalchallenge.ca for more information or call 250-8128782. editor@saanichnews.com

First time buyers should remain realistic Asking the right questions is vital for first time buyers Andrea Peacock News staff

Asking the right questions and being realistic about the ideal dream house are some things first-time home buyers need to be aware of, says local realtor Jeff Bryan. “First-time home buyers need to understand all costs associated with buying a house,” said Bryan, real estate agent with RE/MAX Camosun. Someone might get pre-approved for a $500,000 mortgage but might forget to factor in strata fees, for example. “They won’t think of those strata fees as part of their qualification process for getting a mortgage, but it is,” said Bryan. “You’re assuming you can buy for $500,000, but if there is a strata fee, you can’t understand all the costs associated.” Getting pre-approved for a mortgage is the first thing buyers should do before looking at listings, said Bryan. “A lot of times people will be surprised at what they’re actually qualified for, especially now with interest rates being at historic lows,” said Bryan. “What people can qualify for is usually a very pleasant surprise.” However, being approved for a $500,000 house does not mean buyers should be looking to max out

Factoring strata fees and other costs is important when calculating affordability. their budget. Bryan advises spending no more than 10 per cent under the approved amount. “You don’t want to be house poor,” said Bryan. “Yes you’re approved at that level, but that could mean Kraft Dinner and tuna for the next five years.” One mistake many first-time home buyers make is falling for a house in need of lots of repairs. “First-time buyers should be wary of the fixer-upper unless they are

qualified to do the work themselves, because that can turn into a real money pit,” he said. “All of a sudden you’re $100,000 in [debt], living in a crummy little house because you can’t afford to fix it up.” Another common mistake made by home buyers is not working with a real estate agent, even though it doesn’t cost them anything, said Bryan. Buyers do not need to pay realtors

commission, unlike sellers. “Realtors make it look like a simple process,” said Bryan. “But there’s lots of things the realtor does behind the scenes to protect the buyer.” Realtors may also help buyers find out about properties for sale before they become public. “We find out about listings a couple days before they go on the market,” said Bryan. editor@saanichnews.com
