Council debates more legal suites Monday night decision will affect suites north of McKenzie Avenue Travis Paterson News staff

Permits for secondary suites in houses north of McKenzie Avenue in Saanich will likely be legal by the end of the year, Council is expected to approve the staff recommendations in a survey-based report on Monday, as Saanich staff have prepared a list of bylaws to regulate secondary suites north of McKenzie. The list mirrors that of the rules governing suite permits south of McKenzie, which were approved in 2010. The move has been a long time coming for Coun. Dean Murdock, who’s been trumpeting secondary suite legalization during his time in public office. “There’s an unofficial estimate of approximately 10,000 secondary suites in Saanich,” Murdock said. “We won’t get all of them legalized with a change of allowing suites, but we’re creating an environment to give some tenants and landlords comfort and confidence that they’re meeting the requirements and doing things above board.” The most likely option to be

approved on Monday echoes the same rules brought in for suites south of McKenzie in 2010, but there is an additional option to authorize permits for all suites in Saanich that meet the semi-strict requirements. That last step, however, is unlikely to happen now or in the future, Murdock says, as the end goal is to increase densification and protect neighbouring farmlands. The neighbourhoods identified in Monday’s decision include North Quadra, Glanford and Strawberry Vale, as well as Gordon Head and Cordova Bay. Not included are Blenkinsop valley, Broadmead (because of a covenant) and rural Saanich areas. Coun. Nicola Wade, also in favour of the staff recommendations to make permitted suites legal north of McKenzie, said the process has been wise and measured. “It allows folks to stay in a home, and for those wanting to get a home in this market, it makes it a little more affordable,” she said.

Petition pressures province to accept arbitration offer Andrew Weaver leads push to convince province to accept binding arbitration in ongoing teachers’ strike Daniel Palmer News staff

An online petition calling on the B.C. government to accept binding arbitration in the ongoing teachers’ strike is racking up signatures across the province. The petition, launched Monday by Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA Andrew Weaver, asks the province to agree to binding arbitration to settle the labour dispute, something Education Minister Peter Fassbender has firmly ruled out. By Wednesday, the petition had already reached more than 20,000 signatures. “This tells me people are beginning to recognize the government’s position is unreasonable,” Weaver said. “The government is fear-mongering about how much it will cost to move to binding arbitration, but that’s not accurate because

MLA Andrew Weaver. you put forward your best package and both parties have to justify their submissions.” NDP leader John Horgan also called on the government this week to make the “unprecedented” move to accept arbitration. Horgan said if the government is secure in its belief its wage offer is fair, it should have no concern about the results. “We’re in uncharted territory, where we’ve had the longest strike in B.C. history, and it’s

time we put an end to it,” Horgan said. Fassbender, however, reiterated his rejection of binding arbitration this week, calling the move “a ploy” by the union. “Arbitration is not something this government is going to consider,” he said. Weaver, who has twice been chief negotiator during faculty labour negotiations at the University of Victo-

ria, said arbitration is a time-tested process that won’t throw the province’s finances into disarray, as Fassbender has claimed. Weaver’s petition hit the hopes to get 50,000 names signed to his petition over the coming days to increase pressure on the provincial government. “Education has been my life,” he said. “The hostility the government is showing towards the (B.C. Teachers Federation) is troubling. … It’s putting our next generation in the front lines of a dispute that goes back to 2002 when Premier Christy Clark was minister of education. “The government is acting like a schoolyard bully.

Ride for Refuge to roll through Saanich Inaugural charity fundraiser includes 25 cities across Canada; event still open to team registrations Travis Paterson News staff

Ride for Refuge organizers weren’t sure how their first charity cycling event in Victoria would fare next month, especially in a city full of charity and cycling events. But it seems their fears were all for naught. The Oct. 4 ride is drawing great

interest for all three of its distances: 10, 25 and 50 kilometres. The ride starts and ends at the Saanich Community Church in Royal Oak, and is organized by the Cridge Centre for the Family. “The response is well beyond the 150 we figured would be registering,” said location director Shannon Whissell, Cridge’s manager of communication and fund development.

“We’re already at more than 110 registrants, but based on projections we expect 300 riders. Victoria’s known for how late people register for events.” Ride for Refuge is a community minded charity fundraiser that started in 2002 in Ontario and is run by Blue Sea Philanthropy, a foundation that runs events to promote charities by partnering with a host in each city. Eight of the 217 charities registered with Ride for Refuge are from Victoria. “It’s been in Vancouver for a few years, and now it’s the Cridge’s intention to make it an annual event, adding to the $7,000,000 raised so far,” Whissell said. “We encourage families to come out, do the ride and eat a hot lunch.” Cyclists can sign up individually but are encouraged to join a team. The $25 entry is waived for those who raise $150 or more ($75 target for youths) for charities, which represent all 25 cities holding Ride for Refuge events across Canada. The Ride’s community approach attracted Saanich cyclist John Turner, who is inviting interested cyclists to join his team, the Gap Foundation Cruisers. His team has chosen to dedicate their pledges to the Stand as One Ministry, which seeks to build soy milk factories in Malawi to provide nutrition to the children while creating employment and opportunity for local populations. “Life takes you different places, and in mine, I overcame a lot of obstacles,” Turner said. “It led me to local volunteering, and seeing how we can better streamline and integrate help for those in need.” His ride is for “the vulnerable,” and said Stand as One Ministry has values and a vision that are in line with his own. Turner also has big aspirations for helping people here in Greater Victoria one day. “I want to build a better community here through socio-economic strategies and helping people empower themselves,” he said. The ride leaves at 9 a.m. from Saanich Community Church, 4566 West Saanich Rd. Visit rideforrefuge.org and select Victoria for more information.

OUR VIEW

Amalgamation residents’ call Just a few months ago, the push to convince the region’s 13 councils that a non-binding question on amalgamation was a good idea during this fall’s elections seemed all but defeated. AmalgamationYes, a resident group set up to lead that drive, still appears to have limited reach (its online petition includes less than 1,000 names). But the group’s lobbying efforts are bearing fruit, as Sidney and Esquimalt become the latest municipalities to concede the amalgamation question to voters this week. (Victoria, Central Saanich and Langford are onboard as well.) Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard’s belief that amalgamation isn’t in the best interest of Saanich residents seems premature, particularly without the depth of knowledge a provincially funded study would bring to the decision. Allowing the province to both pay for and staff a team that would examine multiple models of amalgamation and integration in the Capital Region is a good deal for voters and for local politicians. They’ll have to get their hands dirty and do heavy lifting when providing data to the province, but the temporary effort is worth the payoff. If Leonard can use the study to prove he was right all along, good on him. But if the study provides a better way to share policing, fire and other large pieces of the municipal budgetary pie while retaining autonomous borders, then the temporary effort is worth the payoff. If the study leads to amalgamation of some natural neighbours in the region and to better cohesion amongst regional players, then the temporary effort is worth the payoff. Any way you cut it, it’s worth asking the question to see what voters want. Saanich council wouldn’t be commenting “on whether our neighbours are too small,” as Leonard says, by including the amalgamation question on the ballot; instead, they would be nurturing direct democracy at a time when cynicism towards the political process is at an all-time high. Perhaps it’s time to take a risk and ask the people what they think. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@saanichnews.com or fax 250-386-2624.

enough midwives. Wait lists at most midwifery practices are currently far outstripping demand. I thought for a time our government was beginning to recognize the vital role midwives play in the province’s maternity care system. However, based on the current situation, where midwives have finally felt it necessary to withdraw clinical education services at UBC and terminate their contact with the B.C. Ministry of Health, it is clear the government fails to understand or value the role of midwifery in B.C. The reality is that midwives can increase access to maternity care in urban and rural communities and help to improve health outcomes for mothers and newborns. It is time for the provincial government to recognize this fact.

Ducks Unlimited pushes on with Rithet’s Bog clean-up Travis Paterson News staff

It’s been a dozen years since repair and restoration at Rithet’s Bog began, a journey that continues this weekend with a volunteer-led joint work party. The bog’s precious ecosystem was resuscitated in 2002 when Saanich and Ducks Unlimited partnered to remove heavy brush. It brought back the open water area crucial to native waterfowl and pond plants. But by 2010, the pond was once again invisible, hidden behind a wall of cattails three metres high. “We’re making progress,” said said Russ Pym of the Rithet’s Bog Conservation Society, a trained marine biologist who spent his career doing water quality sampling for the Capital Regional District. Key to the restoration effort are regular work parties, where volunteers get their hands (and boots) dirty, directed by Pym and others to attack the cattails before they can re-establish. Saturday’s (Sept. 13) event is the first joint work party of its kind, something Pym hopes becomes a regular occurrence. “We’re actually doing more this year than normal as we expect a fairly good volunteer turnout (for Saturday), upwards of 30 from the usual 15 to 20,” he said. “And if we get that many, then we have a plan to pull cattail seedlings from the middle of the marsh. With the extra hands on board, we can actually be proactive in pulling the seedlings instead of reactive, which will go a long way to eradicate the invasive reeds.” RBCS work parties happen regularly but this week’s is assisted by volunteers from the Saanich Committee of Ducks Unlimited to remove more of the cattails. It’s been an ongoing battle, but there is hope for permanent eradication for the hybrid,

invasive cattail that grows in thick groves and chokes out everything else, Pym said. The key to cutting cattails is having Saanich workers come through earlier in the week with a brush cutter to chop the reed groves down to stumps. The work party will then carry those reeds to the road for pickup. Barbara Schubert, Saanich committee of Ducks Unlimited publicity chair, is enjoying her first year with the organization and plans to there on Saturday. “It’s really a lot of fun,” she said. “I know Ducks Unlimited has been a part of Rithet’s restoration on a greater level, but this is the first time volunteers from the local chapter are joining forces with the RBCS in the hands-on restoration of the open water area.”

Schubert joined after she attended the Ducks Unlimited annual dinner gala in 2013. Ducks Unlimited will hold their 2014 dinner for the South Island on Nov. 15 at 5:30 p.m. at the Saanich Fairground. It’s a major fundraiser for the organization, where they raise upwards of $40,000 through auctioning and ticket sales, all of it “earmarked for local wetlands,” such as Rithet’s Bog, Schubert said. Tickets to the dinner are $60 and are expected to sell out. Contact Daniel Shnitka at d_ shnitka@ducks.ca or call 250652-6203. Ducks Unlimited is also looking for more members.

Free Men’s Health Day ‘saves lives’ Daniel Palmer News staff

Men perhaps aren’t the most proactive when dealing with their health, but a free clinic Saturday at Tillicum Centre aims to buck that trend with a full day of health assessments and testing. The 13th annual Country Grocer Men’s Health Day offers an impressive slate of free tests for men of any age including glucose, cholesterol, blood pressure, neck and throat cancer screening and PSA tests for men over 40, usually a $30 fee at the doctor’s office. “Last year, we had 517 men come through and more than 600 men the year before that,” said Kopp, executive director with The Prostate Centre. “We caught 22 men with an elevated PSA test, which meant they should go on with further assessment. So there really is a big potential to save lives as well.”

The grassroots health day is funded in part by the Westcoast Motorcycle Ride to Live, which raises funds and awareness about prostate cancer with an annual ride through the Capital Region. The Father’s Day Walk/Run for Prostate Cancer also helps fund Saturday’s event as well as local cancer research. “We want to make sure everything we provide to the men is completely accessible in the community,” Kopp said. The majority of test results on Saturday will be provided to men immediately, while blood tests will be forwarded to family doctors. “There are a lot of men who don’t have family doctors, so Dr. Gordon Hoag, head of laboratory medicine at Island Health, will review all the tests of those who don’t have regular doctor and follow up if necessary,” Kopp said. The largely volunteer-run Prostate Centre helps more than 1,000

It is common for PSA to be found in the blood in very small concentrations. Higher levels of PSA may indicate the presence of cancer, but can also be an indicator of other prostate conditions.

It was a similar outcome in the early game as the first division UVic Norsemen ran up a 58-14 win over the youthful Velox Academy.

Jack Palmer enters the Victoria Royals’ 2014-15 season with an improved fitness level.

Former Brave in first camp with Victoria Royals Travis Paterson News staff

While six of the Victoria Royals players departed this week for NHL rookie camps, Saanich’s Jack Palmer remained. The former Saanich Brave and VIJHL rookie of the year is in his first WHL training camp with the Royals as he was acquired part way through the 2013-14 season from the Brandon Wheat Kings. With a good chunk of the Royals’ veterans away, the left winger has an added chance to prove himself in preseason. He’ll also get a look at his competition playing with the Royals’ 16, 17 and 18 year olds clamouring for the same ice. To prepare, Palmer (who turned 19 on Sept. 6) spent the summer working out with renowned Royals trainer Jeff Compton, who has also trained several NHLers. He was motivated to be in the best shape possible after Royals practices left him feeling ill prepared last year. It meant a lot of gym work, and other exercises, such as running up a little known sand dune in Saanich that Palmer calls Death Hill. “This year we have so many good young players it’s going to be a battle,” Palmer said. “I have to earn my position, it’s not a given, but it’s the same for most guys unless you put up great

numbers last season.” As a Royal, Palmer scored three goals and 11 assists in 45 games during the 2013-14 season. If he’s going to improve his numbers this season he’ll have to do it with limited minutes, until he can prove he belongs in the top nine. “Coming to Royals camp and realizing how hard they work here compared to any other organization, they work so hard in camp and preseason and prepare so well for the season. When I got here (partway through) last season, practising was tough, I was getting pretty tired. Now I feel like I’m in pretty good shape.” The Royals’ final preseason game of the season is in Kelowna Saturday night against the Rockets.

Vikes trample Velox in rugby opener The UVic Vikes started the B.C. Rugby premier men’s season with a galloping win over the Velox Valhallians on Saturday, 78-10. The high-flying, premier quality Vikes side ran in a bevy of tries agains an exposed Velox team that is playing above its first division status in the Barnard Cup Island championship schedule. The Vikes dominated from the opening minute of the game, scoring 30 seconds into play when promising national team fly half Guiseppe du Toit powered through the try line. Velox coach Winston Stanley then watched his former Glenlyon

The UVic Vikes commence the eight-game Canada West women’s field hockey schedule this weekend with a pair of matches in Calgary against the Calgary Dinos. Two of the three Canada West teams, UVic, Calgary and the UBC Thunderbirds, will earn a berth at the CIS national championship hosted in Toronto, Ont. Leading the Vikes this season is a group of Team B.C. players who won the under-18 Canadian national championship this summer, Claremont’s Kristina Walters-Shumka, Mount Douglas’ Lindsay Cole and St. Michaels University School’s Jenna Dhillon were members of that team and will be ones to watch. Third-year Vike Rosie Beale of Claremont plays an important role at midfield. The Vikes went undefeated in their pre-season Ivy League tour, beating Yale and Brown, then tying Harvard.

Rams heap it on Washington’s Forks

The Mount Douglas Rams junior and senior football teams are back in Washington State today for a preseason match against triple-A Mount Tahoma. Last week the defending B.C. champion senior Rams drubbed Forks High School 52-0 in Washington. Rookie Nolan Tesch was named the offensive player of the game with 91 yards rushed and two touchdowns, his first ever football game. Tesch handled the ball often in his debut while veterans Manny Lopez rumbled for 65 yards and a touchdown and Seye Farinu another 50 yards and two touchdowns. reporter@saanichnews.com

Saanich filmmaker showcases work at Toronto film festival Don Descoteau News staff

Goldstream News Gazette reporter Arnold Lim is living a filmmaker’s dream this week. The photojournalist and videographer is in Toronto, joining director Connor Gaston for the premiere of their short film, Godhead at the Toronto International Film Festival. Lim is one of three producers for the 11-minute film, the others being Gaston and Chris Orchard. Godhead, filmed in and around Victoria, opened yesterday and also shows today (Sept. 12) as part of the festi-

Arnold Lim val’s Short Cuts Canada program. “I’m excited to see (Greater Victoria) filmmakers represented at the festival, which is one of the largest in the world,” Lim said. “I see this as an opportunity for others who will

come after us.” The film is one of 40 shorts accepted into the festival out of more than 800 submissions, he said. Being a part of a film project being shown on such a large stage has been a goal of Lim’s since he began getting involved in filmmaking, he said. “This is something I hoped to do by the time I was 40 or even 50,” the 36-year-old Saanich resident said. Godhead is an offbeat comedy that follows the story of Gary, a young man rendered mute by his autism who spends his days racing remote control boats

with his little brother. The ongoing scenario creates stress for the boys’ father, a single parent who just wants his elder son to get a job. Gary’s condition, however, conceals a powerful gift that goes beyond words. Gaston, whose short film Bardo premiered at the festival in 2012, combines humour and the supernatural in his latest offering. The group hope to see the film screened at other film festivals, in Calgary and Vancouver and potentially Victoria next February, Lim said. editor@vicnews.com

“It gives the city a whole new vibe and it’s pretty cool to see everybody roaming the streets.”

The biggest music event in Victoria is back for the seventh year in a row. Rifflandia started last night and goes until Sunday night. Some highly anticipated artists this year include Death Cab for Cutie, Serena Ryder, the Skatalites and Danny Brown, said Lacey Geary, assistant to one of the directors of Rifflandia. However, there are more than 150 different artists performing over the four days.

- Lacey Geary “It’s a little bit of everything,” said Geary. “We’ve got indie rock, electronic, hip hop, folk.” Geary added the festival tries to appeal to a wide audience, which was evident in the 13,000 people that attended last year. “It takes over the city,” said Geary. “It gives the city a whole new vibe and it’s pretty cool to see everybody

roaming the streets going to check out these venues, check out new music and meet new people. It’s very electric.” New to Rifflandia this year are comedy shows at Fort Common. There will be two stand-up comedians doing two shows a night. The first shows were on Thursday night, with the rest on Friday and Saturday.

The 2013 edition of Flex got a mid-life styling refresh that included a slicker new front-end treatment plus minor improvements to both engine offerings. Safety ratings are all top-notch and this, plus high owner reliability ratings, has helped put the Ford Flex on Consumer Reports “Recommended” list of vehicle buys. Although not as fuel-efficient, the standard 3.5 litre engine reportedly has fewer problems compared to the newer and more powerful turbo-charged V6 engine option. Ford Flex not only looks different, it is different … and it’s a Canadian! Polarizing (love/hate) styling lines provide an interesting wrapper for what is actually a very practical family vehicle.

It’s mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and drive goes to the front wheels. Highway fuel economy is surprisingly good 8.4 L/100 km, but the city rating is a much thirstier 12.6 L/100km. Two changes came in 2010 in the form of a new (lower-priced) entry level SE trim version of Flex and the other was a new optional 3.5 litre V6 EcoBoost engine (Limited trim only). Turbochargers and direct fuel injection allow this engine to provide V8 like power, yet still offer it still offer V6 fuel economy. The MyKey security feature and an AutoFold 60/40 bench seat were both added as standard equipment in all Flex trim levels. A new top-line Titanium edition of Flex was added to the product line in 2011. It comes with the V6 EcoBoost engine and all-wheel-drive. And other

Flex is a short name for a big Ford utility/wagon type vehicle that can accommodate six or seven people with ease and seat them with an impressive degree of comfort. Made in Canada, Flex is a hard-to-categorize vehicle that was introduced for the 2009 model year. Not a car, a minivan or an SUV, Flex borrows from them all, so the ‘crossover’ tag is also very appropriate. Stylistically the Ford Flex dares to be different. What appears at first glance to be a simple two-box design is actually more complex. It has generally straight styling lines yet there are no sharp corners. Its two-tone paint finish is separated by the dark centre greenhouse section, which gives Flex a distinctive ‘floating roof’ appearance that’s also appealing. On the inside, even with all its seats upright there’s still 566 litres (20 cu ft) of cargo space in the back. That jumps to 1,224 litres (43.2 cu. ft) with the third row down and a whopping 2,355 litres (83.2 cu. ft) with the second row flat. The front passenger seat can also fold forward and allows Flex to swallow 3-metre (10 ft) long object, with its liftgate closed. Flex can also have an impressive max towing capacity of 2,041 kg (4,500 lbs), when properly equipped. Originally (in 2009) Flex just came in SEL and Limited trim levels and allwheel drive was a ($2,000) optional

to encourage the masses to drive topless. Whether through a rag or hardtop, this specimen of automotive manufacturing and design allowed people to feel the proverbial wind in their hair within seconds. I felt it as a kid as my mom was lucky enough to be one of the first Miata owners in BC when they came out in 1989 – a red one, of course – and took me out for rides frequently. Those memories have stayed with me over the decades, though I’ve been able to form my own bond with the car. Not only have we (meaning, the various MX-5s I’ve driven in the last in 11 years) put down thousands of kilometres together, we’ve also been paired up at the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca for the Skip Barber Racing School experience a couple of times. Nostalgia is one popular element of its appeal, but there’s an undeniable fun factor. Whether racing it on a track or just taking it to the grocery store, the first turn you carve in it will rope you in like an infomercial in the wee hours of the night when you can’t sleep. But in the case of the MX-5, you won’t have any buyer’s remorse. Fast-forward through the years and you’re now viewing the fourth generation MX-5. And what better way to welcome the roadster to the stage here in California than via a little band called Duran Duran. And through a live satellite stream that was broadcast here, and abroad in Spain and Japan. T:11” T:11” T:11” T:11” T:11” T:11” T:11”

and something that other cars have strived to achieve in their two-door roadsters over the years but have fallen short – longevity. At a quarter century old, the Miata/MX-5 has achieved incredible success. Close to a million of these drop tops have been sold worldwide. The Miata/MX5 holds a Guinness Book of World Records title of most successful two-seat convertible roadster in history. Not bad for a car that packs in so many thrills for under $30K. Over the years, the front-engine, rear-wheel drive car continued

Monterrey, CA. – Looking at the specs, it doesn’t seem too impressive. A 1.6-litre engine, 116 horsepower, 100 lb-ft of torque, a 0-100 km/h time of less than nine seconds, 14-inch tires. Heck, my bicycle has bigger rubbers! Okay, maybe not. But 25 years ago, the Mazda Miata was a product of those numbers. It wasn’t necessarily endowed in the engine department. However, the two-door roadster did have everything else on its side. A sleek design, a peppy personality, a brilliant red coat

The reasoning? – Both the English music group and the roadster came into popularity in the 80s and continued to succeed and grow in status over the decades. Besides, “Rio” is an incredibly catchy tune to dance to! That said the MX-5 has a new, eye-catching look to it. Not many specs have been released though I can tell you this: it’s lower, wider, and sheds 100kg in the making. It also embodies the KODO or “Soul of Motion” design language. Like with all-new models of anything legendary, there will be a polarizing reception. Some might think it’s too radical. Some might fall immediately in love with it. And some will wait to drive it to make up their mind. Regardless of the way it looks – which certainly helps its cause – it’s really about how you feel on the road, behind the wheel, and when you tuck it in at night. More details about the MX-5 are scheduled to be released at this year’s Paris Auto Show. Either way, I can’t wait to drive it. www.mazda.ca alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

with parts breaking and how he ended up custom building a lot of parts in his own shop. Other people started building their own trucks and soon side-by-side competition began. There were crazy names for these trucks such as; Goliath, Taurus, King-Kong, Grave Digger, and Samson. It was a big thrill for many just to see these trucks drive slowly over some junk cars. They would stop in the middle and get out and wave. Soon fans wanted to see more, so the trucks would pop a wheelie before crushing them. Two cars became eight and then buses. I saw Taurus drive up several cars and onto the roof of two double decker buses. The truck came very close to rolling off, but after a few adjustments to the rear steering he climbed along and then off. The suspension of that time was more about lift height to accommodate the largest tires rather than full suspension travel which came next. The Baja race trucks could handle large jumps without any trouble, so the monster trucks started the change. Massive coil over shocks and four-point suspension that could handle the weight and abuse these trucks would dish out. Now the monster trucks could hit the cars at tremendous speed and fly through the air impressing all. Bigfoot #18 holds the Guinness World Record for the longest jump by a Monster truck at 214’ 8”. The popularity of these trucks continues to grow to this day and with more advanced technology who knows what the next wave of Monster Trucks will look like? ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

When I first started my career in the offroad and truck accessory business I was a young and impressionable 18 year-old. I was impressed with some of the successful off-road shops in the US but I wondered how they had become so succeeded in business. One that came to mind was Midwest Four-Wheel-Drive & Performance Centre, owned by Bob Chandler, creator of the legendary Bigfoot monster trucks. Back then large off-road tires for pickups were not available; this forced Bob to think outside the box and looked to the agriculture industry. He bought a set of 48” tall Firestone tires and along with some custom made wheels; he mounted them onto his truck. People from all over the states started talking about his truck. He was invited to car shows and tractor pulls and that started drawing attention from the four wheel drive magazines. His shop also started to grow rather quickly with all the new interests in 4x4 modifications. A mechanic in his shop gave the truck the nickname Bigfoot because of the way Bob would drive it, heavy foot on the gas pedal. I was looking through one of those magazines and saw a small picture taken from just outside the shop bay door. It was his truck with 66” tall Goodyear tires. I remember thinking he was crazy. After that the monster truck craze began. I was fortunate enough to meet Bob at a trade show in Las Vegas. His truck was there on display and he was outside sitting at a table having lunch. I approached him, not recognizing him in his cowboy hat and asked if the spare seat was taken. Very nice man, he shared with me some of his frustrations

Six people arrested in Gorge Road drug bust Daniel Palmer News staff

Six people were arrested in a drug raid in the 100-block of Gorge Rd. on Sunday in a joint investigation involving Saanich police, VicPD, the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit and the Regional Crime Unit. Police seized a .22-calibre semi-automatic rifle, two replica handguns, bear spray, 26 litres of GHB and precursor, crystal meth, heroin and about $20,000 in cash from the apartment and during a subsequent search of a vehicle. Also in the apartment were record-keeping books to track drug sales, said Sgt. Steve Eassie.

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF

Arrest in summer home break-ins A man described by police as a “prolific” property offender was arrested Sept. 3 in connection with two daytime home break-ins, and

“We’re hopeful there will be a noticeable decrease in the number of people using or under the influence in the Gorge area,” Eassie said. A 41-year-old Saanich woman is facing charges related to drugs, weapons and stolen credit card information; a 36-year-old Saanich man is facing drug charges. Another four people were arrested including a 35-year-old Saanich woman, who may face drug charges; a 22-year-old Sooke man; a 29-yearold Vancouver man, arrested on outstanding warrants and connected to criminal organizations; and a 31-year-old Vancouver woman, later released from custody.

there could be more charges coming. Saanich police connected forensic evidence at two residential break-ins – in the 1600-block of Mortimer St.; and in the 1500-block of Derby Rd. – to the suspect, said Sgt. Steve Eassie. The suspect either removed a window screen or used an unlocked sliding door to access the homes, Eassie said. When police searched the

man’s home in Victoria, they found 50 stolen items, many of which were returned to homeowners. “It’s believed the suspect may be responsible for a number of other crimes in Saanich,” Eassie said. Thomas Frederick Green, 56, is being held on charges of break and enter and theft. He has 14 previous convictions for break and enter.

Parking concerns addressed in legal suite report

SPORT MODEL SHOWN

Continued from Page A1

With a focus on densification comes the provision that all legalized suites provide an additional, off-street parking spot for tenants to avoid an on-street crush. “We’d like to see an increase in secondary suites that doesn’t necessitate a vehicle, but the reality is we’re not there yet,” Murdock said. “Certainly we want to stay away from encouraging denser populations in farm and rural areas.” The staff report also includes provisions to deal with suites in accessory buildings. Current bylaws limit a residential lot to two kitchens. A proposed amendment would allow one of the kitchens to exist in an accessory building, but it’s an area that staff haven’t yet studied. That idea would also conflict with the secondary suite bylaw that requires the property owner to live in one of the suites, in response to concerns from neighbourhood associations. “I think a key issue is to make sure suites are not proliferating beyond the initial suite. It would need to be studied,” Wade said. If approved, the legal suite bylaw amendments will be drawn up by staff and expected to return to council later this fall. reporter@saanichnews.com

Did you know?

n Bylaws enforcement is complaint driven. Earlier this year the News reported a total of 1,520 complaints related to illegal suites in Saanich in the past 15 years, 229 of which have been since 2010.

n A total of 121 suites in Saanich are currently permitted.

Finding safe preschool snacks can be a tough nut to crack Healthy, flavourful options are out there for kids Angela Cowan News Gazette Staff

With preschool classes starting up, parents once again have to choose their children’s snacks carefully to comply with the varying food restrictions at schools and care centres. West Shore Parks and Recreation, like most facilities, has been ‘nut aware’ for a number of years with the uprising of serious peanut and other nut allergies. “Most of our classes are ‘nut aware,’” says Karen Frost, recreation co-ordinator for the centre. “And all of our kids have a medical form, so if one child does have a severe allergy, we send home letters to all the parents to let them know what they can bring.” Frost suggests fruit, crackers and cheese or yogurt for quick and healthy snacks parents can put together. “We don’t want any candy,

“It’s tough for parents who don’t live with (severe allergies) every day.” – Preschool parent Julita Traylen high sugar content, chocolate, gum, any of that sort of thing.” For other facilities, restrictions can be more stringent, such as at the parent-run Oak Bay Preschool. “We are dairy, egg, gluten and nut free,” says Julita Traylen, who has a four-year-old daughter at the preschool. The centre has several children with severe or anaphylactic allergies, and the strict food policy gives parents peace of mind that there’s no chance of an allergen popping up in the classroom. But while those restrictions may ease parents who have to constantly check for allergens, those whose kids

can eat anything often have a hard time thinking of healthy and quick alternatives to granola bars, peanut butter sandwiches and cheese and crackers. “It’s tough for parents who don’t live with (severe allergies) every day,” adds Traylen. Chopped up fruits and veggies, dried apple or banana chips, hummus, rice crackers and bean and lentil dips are all quick and easy options for school time snacks, she suggests. “I personally bake vegan muffins and cookies with lots of seeds and oats and dried fruit. That’s our go-to snack.” Wherever parents decide to send their kids for preschool and care, it’s a good idea to learn what food restrictions are in place and why before packing up the day’s snacks. There could be a life-threatening allergy in the classroom. acowan@goldstream gazette.com

After living 47 years in the same home mom just told me she is moving into a one bedroom suite in a retirement community and expects me to look after everything! I’m thrilled about her decision to move but ….. I live in Toronto, have a family, a busy career and truthfully, we never see eye to eye on issues and our best visit is about 72 hours.

Your situation is more common than you think. Families with the best of relationships, who reside in the same city as their parent(s), and/or are the sandwich generation, often find the process of downsizing overwhelming. Even if they are able to help, more often than not, families want their parent(s) just to ‘pitch’ most things and can’t understand why these ‘simple’ decisions are so difficult. What’s important and meaningful to a parent may have little or no meaning to their child. This is the perfect time to have an objective individual/ service come in and seamlessly and affordably move your parent(s) through the downsizing process with the least amount of stress, and still remain in charge. While downsizers works diligently and closely with each client, they remain objective and know the questions that will help their client stay focused, be realistic and determine what is important and what they can’ let go’. The ‘letting go’ items may mean selling, shipping, auction, donating to various organizations or to the garbage. They will then pack, move, unpack, arrange furniture, hang pictures – and even make sure the TV and computer are set up and ready to go. I have witnessed clients and families moving in with and without the assistance of a downsizer. They can do in a few days what can otherwise take weeks and months. They are worth their weight in gold! Their value far outweighs their fee which is very affordable. Call in two or three for a free estimate and then choose the one who suits your personality and requirements most. Give a gift of a downsizer to your parent or loved one. It will be the best money you ever invested!

Not all households include two parents. For those that don’t, Photo contributed the 1Up Single Parent Taryn Tuckwell poses for a Resource Centre might snapshot with his father, Trevor. be the support system those hoping for a little bit of extra help are looking for. “There are single parents who think that they can make it, but need help,” said 1Up administrative co-ordinator Trevor Tuckwell. “That’s why we are here. We’re here to help. Any parent can find themselves in that situation, no matter what tax bracket they’re in.” The services offered by the non-profit organization offers include everything from counselling sessions and courses on life skills and parenting, to free books, food, toys, clothing and household goods. Tuckwell is not only a former volunteer and current staff member, he’s the single parent of a 13-year-old son and has experienced the benefits of 1Up firsthand. “I was a single parent for three or four years when I found the centre, and for me, it began with taking courses and volunteering here. I was looking for help and emotional support,” he said. “By coming to the centre …You feel you are not so alone.” The people who have benefitted from the centre cover a wide range, from immigrants or grandparents to mothers, fathers and others, Tuckwell said. The centre is funded in part by the province, United Way and individual fundraising events. “We are part of a web that is catching a lot of people falling through the cracks,” he said. “It’s up to us non-profits to catch them.” For more information visit singleparentvictoria.ca. alim@goldstreamgazette.com

stomach one September afternoon, nine-month-old Danica and I approached a little white building that housed a neighbourhood daycare. My glum mood lifted a few notches at the sight of the multi-coloured climbing apparatus, swings, slides and tricycles. We stepped up to the door, knocked and entered the threshold of a whole new era. Danica pulled herself up on a couch and stood, surveying the room while I sniffled a bit. Then it happened. Little Rosalie, just a few months older than Danica, toddled over, put her arms around Danica and hugged her. It was a sign! The next day, I dropped her off for a few hours while I worked. I picked up a happy child, who did not appear any closer to needing therapy. I continued to suffer moderate anxiety each time I dropped her off – parents could go only as far as the doorstep so as not to hear their offspring wailing, should they suddenly form a parent-attachment – but (unlike me) Danica never cried. In the end, both my daughters spent happy days in daycare, even forging a few life-long friendships. And aside from incurring a few traffic tickets, I’m happy to report, neither child has been carried off in a police car or yet spent any time behind bars.

Q: WHAT SHOULD I CONSIDER BEFORE BUYING AN ACREAGE OR LARGE-LOT HOME? Making the move to a property with an acreage will find you further from the urban core. Even homes on larger-than-average lots are often further out as well. Location can create challenges, but is just one aspect to consider. Here’s a few more: ■ Ensure your entire family wants to move. Teenagers often don’t like relocating to more remote areas. ■ Set an upper spending limit and stick to it. ■ Begin searching in the spring or summer so you can see the land. Walk around to see if some areas feel soft, especially where floods are common. ■ Research local bylaws. They may prevent you from parking your trailer or subdividing later. ■ Talk to neighbours. Ask about driving times, highspeed internet capabilities and access to schools, churches and shopping. Find out who can help if you get stuck in mud or snow.

BUYER’S TIP | Be wary of seller statements that virtually anything is allowed “out in the country”

Properties with land can be attractive More than one way to find that extra space to breathe Don Descoteau News staff

Walking up York Ridge Place, a steep dead-end road punched into a wooded hillside off Finlayson Arm Road in the heart of Highlands, one can imagine truly rustic living. Which is not to say the people who wind up buying the roughly five-acre lots won’t choose to build luxurious new homes on the land. Not everyone might appreciate the prospect of living in an area once thought to be far from civilization as we know it – Millstream Village is six-minute drive away. But large lots, whether bare land or with a home already on the property, can offer flexibility, says Roy Coburn with ReMax Camosun, the listing agent for the rugged Highlands lots. “I think there’s a lot of people who don’t want the maintenance of looking after the land. Then you have the people who want the privacy or to keep a horse, or sheep. It’s all personal choice,” he says. While the amount of undeveloped property around the West Shore and rural Saanich is diminishing, the presence of such large swaths of land – the York Ridge lots are being sold by one property owner – is not uncommon in the outskirts of urban Greater Victoria. A quick check on Realtor.ca of listings shows acreages can be more affordable in Saanich than previously anticipated. As of this week, there were 106 bare land lots two acres or larger around Greater Victoria, and there was even one five-acre property near Prospect Lake in Saanich listed

Don Descoteau/News staff

Realtor Roy Coburn specializes in acreage properties such as this one in Highlands on York Ridge Place. People consider buying acreages or homes on large lots for privacy, hobby farming and other considerations, he says. at $649,000, complete with a small, three-bedroom house. A sign that not everyone has chosen to subdivide those large lots in the region’s core, there are more than 160 homes on two acres or more in Greater Victoria. Buyers seriously interested in such properties might include people with young families who want to give their children more space to play and enjoy the outdoors, Coburn says. There are also those people who are used to living a little off the beaten track, perhaps on the Prairies, where rural homes are

spaced further apart. Coburn offers an example of clients who lived an hour or so west of Victoria and wanted to be closer to the city. “They found a property they liked that had a roughed-in driveway and the services were all there. They wanted to be closer, but they still wanted their privacy,” he says. Bare land acreages can run anywhere from $275,000 and up, depending on the size, proximity to waterfront and the amount of work already done to bring services in. While the majority of such proper-

ties available for sale are on the outskirts of the region, they are becoming ever-closer to commercial centres and other amenities. The pricing of large-lot properties with homes already built are like any other home: the closer to Victoria they’re located, the higher the price. “The general feeling right now is you can buy a house cheaper than you can build one,” Coburn says. “But it doesn’t take long to look around and see if there’s something available in an area you like that’s within your budget.” editor@saanichnews.com
