Combing for clues Investigators from the Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit fan out as they search for clues that could lead them to a missing 51-yearold Victoria man on a Prospect Lake-area property last Thursday. The multi-day search began on June 2 and has included helicoptor support from the RCMP. More than 90 officers are involved in the process, and police have not ruled out the possibility of locating human remains on the site. See saanichnews.com for the latest information on this story.

High-tech lab CanAssist knows no bounds Assistive technology facility finds creative ways to help those with limited abilities Travis Paterson News staff

If James Bond had a secret lab designing spy gadgets in Saanich, this would be it. In theory, if 007 suffered permanent dam-

age to his arm and needed an adapter to operate his favourite firearm, CanAssist could do make it happen – free of charge. “We don’t copyright this stuff, anything anyone wants to learn from us, we try to share it,” says CanAssist electrical engineering specialist Paul Green. The team allows open access to their work when requested, Green adds. As Green leads an informal walk through CanAssist’s impressive new work shop in the University of Victoria’s Centre for Sports, Recreation and Special Abilities,

he points out one apparatus after another, each one spread out in pieces across the large table during development stage. The wall-sized windows of the new CanAssist shop not only let in a refreshingly Hawaii’an amount of natural light. They also look directly across the parking lot at CanAssist’s former residence, E-Hut, the army-green coloured bunker that is symbolic of CanAssist’s first 16 years, and as a relic of the Second World War era Gordon Head military camp. Even CanAssist’s new office area in CARSA is bigger than E-Hut,

but it’s the work shop that’s probably the coolest part of the new $77 million CARSA. “You had to love E-Hut, but it was so small,” Green says of CanAssist’s former space. “We were cramped, literally fighting for every square inch of workspace.” And yet from that little hut came hundreds of life changing projects for residents of Greater Victoria and B.C. And CanAssist is only growing. PlEASE SEE: Technology gives power back, Page A3

Technology gives power back to users Continued from Page A1

Since 2011, the Ministry of Health has stepped up with $10.5 million in funding for CanAssist, including a $3 million commitment made on May 11 towards technologies that support the Ministry’s CanStayHome program. “Everything we do is designed to make life easier for someone, often by allowing them to do something they couldn’t,” Green explains. The organization’s mantra is to help people with disabilities improve their quality of life and to increase awareness of disability issues. As he continues his tour, Green lifts his current project, a dismantled push lawn mower which will be attached to the front of a powered wheelchair. Next to that is a ‘captive knife’ setup that mounts a chef knife (with a stainless steel bracket on the blade) to a cutting board. The knife runs along a rod with sliding (sawing) motion, as well as up, down and side to side mobility. The lawn mower attachment is for a local quadriplegic. The captive knife is ideal for someone with the use of one arm. “There are captive knife systems out there, but we found fault with them in that they offered poor or no ability to slice,” Green says. “You couldn’t cut a tomato, for instance, and with ours you can.” CanAssist works like this: Someone, be it WorkSafe BC, a local citizen or organization, brings a request and funding to CanAssist for a solution to a unique problem. CanAssist engineering manager Leo Spalteholz analyzes the problems and desired outcomes with other members of the team, which includes software, mechanical and electrical engineers.

“The first thing we often do is find out if a possible solution actually exists on the commercial market,” Spalteholz says. “The only problem is we often find the commercial option isn’t well made, either by design or quality, or both, and that there are several improvements we can make. So we go from there.” The lawn mower is a good example. Green has dismantled a typical battery-powered push mower from the hardware store. It’s now been reduced to a bare minimum, with no handles and about half the size, with the plastic chassis surrounding the rotary blade and battery. Attaching to the power chair wasn’t going to be the challenge. It’s figuring everything else, Green says.

“Sometimes it’s as simple as creating a custom grip for a butcher knife.” -Paul Green, CanAssist engineer “The user can engage the mower with a handheld button while he operates the power chair. If you let go of the button, the mower stops, so it replicates the safety bar that comes standard on store-bought models.” As Green continues his tour, one of three CanAssist mechanics working in the expansive new shop points to a bicycle mounted on a stationary resistance trainer. The bike is literally a giant video game controller. “The bike request was interesting because it came from two separate doctors in the north of B.C., for two different patients who were in need of motivation for exercise, at the same time,” Green says.

Above, CanAssist engineering manager Leo Spalteholz peers through a camera module with adapted functions for people with limited mobility. Options automatically cycle through onscreen, allowing the user to operate the multi-function camera with the click of the red button. Below, CanAssist electrical engineering specialist Paul Green sits astride a modified MEC bicycle that is actually a video game controller. The steering, pedals and brakes each trigger controls for different games. An additional “thrust” button is located on the handlebars. While the bike is not dedicated to a particular video game, it currently works with (Microsoft) XBox and (Sony) Playstation, and PCs, and is probably best with racing or first person character games, Green added. “We’ve designed it so you can map the buttons/controls to each function for a game.” For example, the user can designate the left or right brake levers to shoot a gun, etc. Additional switches can be mounted on the handle bar. The most important function is a sensor that measures the amount of torque created from pedalling. “The bike will correlate how hard you’re working and translate that to how fast you’re going in the game.” Because Green and company never take anything lightly, the bike’s torque reading can be adjusted. “You can make it easier or harder to pedal the bike to move the car or person you’re controlling faster.” The CanAssist website lists 89 of their project technologies, free

for the taking. Any apps they create are also free and posted to Android and/or iOS operating systems.

There are probably hundreds of additional accessories that aren’t listed, such as the many wheel and power chairs that have been fitted with a tool to assist people with limited mobility. “Sometimes it’s as simple as creating a custom grip for a butcher knife that goes on top of the blade and allows him greater control, which he no longer had. We moulded the plastic grip to the shape of the user’s hand, because, why not?,” Green says. It’s not uncommon for CanAssist employees to create new methods and technologies during each project, many of which could be patented. But that is not the model. Defying all temptations to monetize their efforts, CanAssist asks only to cover its costs, thereby flying in the face of capitalism. In a world of corporate espionage, B.C. can sigh a breath of relief that the people of CanAssist are using their powers for good. reporter@saanichnews.com

The District of Saanich will be hosting a drop-in open house about the Environmental Development Permit Area (EDPA) on Wednesday, June 17 at the Garry Oak Gymnasium at Saanich Commonwealth Place (4636 Elk Lake Dr.).. The EDPA restricts homeowners from building in EDPA-affected areas and around a mandated buffer zone on their properties. At the open house, residents will have the opportunity to learn about the EDPA and ask questions, while affected property owners will be able to sit at a consultation station, review their property with staff and receive a customized map. Ideas and comments will be collected and used to inform staff in reporting to council later this year.

Mischief rampage hits Glanford Saanich Police are asking for residents in the Glanford area to be on the lookout for suspicious activity in their neighbourhood following a number of reported acts of mischief. “A total of five families were affected by the actions of the people responsible for these acts,” Sgt.

following a rash of overnight thefts that were reported last week. So far, there have been 18 reported thefts from vehicles in the residential neighbourhood between Gordon Head Road and Cadboro Bay Road. At least one property where vehicles were entered also had evidence of a suspect entering an unlocked garage access door. There have been no reports of damage to the vehicles, however, many of the vehicles were left with trunks and doors open. Thankfully, the weather did not result in these vehicles being damaged by water. Anyone with relevant information about these incidents is asked to call the Saanich Police Department at 250475-4321, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS (8477). editor@saanichnews.com

Urban cows head for hills Daniel Palmer News staff

The air is beginning to clear in Gordon Head after the Alberg family removed 19 head of cattle from an urban feed lot last Thursday. Siblings Don, Alberg, Gordon Alberg and Florence Davis own the property at 1516 Mt. Douglas X Rd., which has been operating as a feed lot since Saanich council twice rejected plans to develop the property in 2011 and 2012. “We’ve had as many as 80 head over the past few years and processed over 120 head in the last two and a half years,” said Don Alberg, after loading the last cows in trucks bound for his Qualicum Beach farm. “We were looking for more cattle, but it was a leap of faith by us to remove them as Saanich council moves forward.” The Albergs now hope to advance a 16-lot residential development proposal, which they hope will receive first and second readings by council before the family removes the land from the Agricultural Land Reserve. The Albergs will need to apply to a provincial body to have the land removed from the ALR at some point before the final development application and rezoning could be approved. Council could also reject the application altogether and require the land to remain as permanent farmland. The Alberg property is still in the ALR but zoned residential, which means the Albergs have the right to continue to farm it. “Our hope and the neighbours’ hope now is Saanich will move forward and support a 16-lot subdivision,” Don said. Coun. Fred Haynes, who put forward a report that helped break the stalemate between the Albergs and council last month, called the removal of the cattle a “classy action.” “I believe they (Albergs) have joined the expression of community good will that has been enabled by the recent unanimous decision by council to enable the unique review of the development application ahead of the status within the ALR,” Haynes said. “This land is in a use conflict being both (residentially zoned), which prohibits farming, as well as ALR, which protects the right to farm.” Council will consider the Alberg’s development application at a June 22 committee of the whole meeting.

OUR VIEW

Local farms pack big yield Local farming can be a tough career, but there are several locals proving that productive farms on relatively little land is possible. Galey Farms, a bigger farm at 50 acres, and Madrona Farm, just a kilometre up the road in the Blenkinsop Valley, are ripe with strawberries, leeks, new potatoes and other delightful fresh produce right now. If you haven’t been up there lately, head over before the strawberries disappear (they’ve ripened weeks early this year ... which could be a bad thing and related to climate change, but that’s an entirely different discussion). On the smaller scale, there’s also Rachel Fisher of Three Oaks Farm in Central Saanich, who is working hard to ensure her farm is a big contributor to the financial success of Saanich Organics, a company that brings several local farms together to supply organic produce to the community. Hers is a two-acre, two-person operation that shows big gains can be made from relatively small spaces. Some people had been arguing that small farms such as Three Oaks Farm are not viable, and that some farmland should be earmarked for potential commercial and residential development. Fisher’s example, however, backs up a recent decision by Central Saanich to help retain land north and south of Keating X Road for agricultural purposes, now and into the immediate future. Saanich Organics has a distinctly local flavour and contributes around $350,000 each year to the local economy. That’s nothing to sneeze at — especially since that economic contribution is coming from only four or five farms. A lot of local farm produce stays right here on the Island and supplies markets, grocery stores and well as restaurants throughout Greater Victoria. It’s no longer an anomaly to go to a store and find local produce of excellent quality — no mealy lettuce or shrunken carrots here. Local farms, big and small, are stepping up their efforts to be a part of the local food production scene and making sure they can compete with all the pretty produce out there. It’s also easier now, more than ever, to source that produce. The sheer volume being produced on Island farms helps ensure that we can maintain a local diet. But supply needs to continue to rise to meet demand where feasible, and that’s where local farming comes in. Increased industrial and residential development is sure to be needed in the coming decades, but it’s good to know that viable farm production on small plots of land won’t get picked over.

Parking a mad house at hall I returned last week from taking care of my property taxes at the Saanich Municipal Hall. Driving into the parking area was not easy. There was gridlock because since quite a few cars are parked right behind the stalls for people having some business there. There should be a “no parking” sign. It seems to me that those parked cars are not just there for a little while, but the whole day. One driver with a big car had real trouble and was holding up the whole row of either people wanting come in or leave. People were angry but did nothing about it, even though this situation is very unsafe. An elderly gentleman did not like it either. He had been a lawyer and when I asked why people are so reluctant to file a complaint he mentioned “Political Correctness”. By the way, he did not want to complain either. People believe that nothing will change, whether they speak up or not. Not a good reputation for our authorities. I have no idea what bad parking has to do with political

correctness. If people are so unwilling or afraid to address small things which irk them, what about bigger ones? We live in a democracy and should use our rights. I did go up to the Mayor’s office and made my point clear and I do hope that it will be heard. Karin Hertel Saanich

Removing gender on birth certificate goes too far My name is Brae Carnes, a Transgender rights activist and advocate. I personally think that removing gender entirely from birth certificates would hurt society more than it would help.

We as transgender people need to understand that we are a minority, and our comfort is not more important than the positive effects of gender on I.D. I do believe changing your gender marker should be easier, free, and have more options than just male or female. Removing gender completely would hurt medical research, statistics, and the criminal justice systems, outweighing the benefits to transgender and intersexed people. I changed my gender marker to female with no problem. Remove the cost and I think everything is fine. Brae Carnes Saanich

CRD wants private land offers for sewage site

Following rank

A gosling follows mother goose while overlooking the naval ships of CFB Esquimalt. Geese droppings are prolific at and around the base where geese roam by the gaggle, and deer are regulars too.

Victoria, Saanich ID areas that are ‘technically feasible’ for wastewater location The Capital Regional District’s eastside sewage committee is looking for private landowners open to the idea of a wastewater treatment facility on their property. Last month, the CRD’s Eastside Select Committee released a map of technically feasible sites for wastewater treatment. The maps are based on work done by Saanich and Victoria staff and include areas with private properties. Now, the committee wants to hear from landowners interested in partnering or selling their land for the wastewater treatment project. “We want to make sure that private property owners – especially those within identified technically feasible zones – know we are still looking for properties that could work as a site for facilities,” said Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps, chair of the Eastside Select Committee. “We’re interested in learning about both partnership and land acquisition opportunities.” The CRD has been struggling to recover from its disastrous Seaterra plan, a $788-million project that included a wastewater treatment facility at McLoughlin Point and a biosolids facility at Hartland landfill. Esquimalt halted that plan in July 2013 when it rejected rezoning at McLoughlin, and the B.C. government subsequently refused to intervene to force rezoning. The Eastside Select Committee is now interested in sites that correspond with zones identified through municipal processes in Saanich and Victoria. These bubbles or zones are identified on a site map that can be found at crd.bc.ca/Eastside. The zones include areas like Haro Woods, the Saanich core and pockets within the Quadra, Gordon Head and Shelbourne communities. Private landowners within these areas are asked to respond by June 24 to eastside@crd.bc.ca with their input. The CRD will continue to receive public input until early July, and a full technical analysis of sites will begin this summer in an effort to select sites by the end of the year. The province and federal governments have committed about $500 million towards the CRD’s secondary sewage treatment project, while any cost overruns will be the responsibility of CRD taxpayers. See the map at crd.bc.ca/Eastside.

Seminar demystifies strata bylaws and rules

Paper prom dress gets international attention Reynolds secondary student Erinne Paisley’s paper prom dress is garnering a lot of attenion as far away as the U.K. and Australia. Paisley made a prom dress out of old math homework to raise awareness for the Malala Fund, which supports access to education for young women around the world. On Monday, Paisley’s GoBid auction for the dress was up to $1,150 and there are still three weeks to go. See the online auction at http://gobid.ca/ad/8106/ show. Submitted photo

Owners of condominiums and townhouses (known as stratas in B.C.), make up nearly one quarter of property owners on Vancouver Island. And one often-misunderstood part of strata living involves bylaws. To help enlighten the many strata owners in the area, the non-profit Vancouver Island Strata Owners Association will present the seminar Everything You Need to Know About Strata Bylaws, on June 28 in Victoria. Most stratas have created their own bylaws but many strata owners forget that the “standard bylaws” of the B.C. Strata Property Act also apply to them unless their strata has amended them, said Sandy Wagner, president of VISOA. Often, stratas try to save the expense of hiring a lawyer when writing or amending bylaws, but it is a small investment that could prevent a lengthy and costly legal battle in the future.

“A simple misplaced word can completely change the legal meaning of your bylaw,” said Wagner. “Saying ‘or’ when you mean ‘and’ could open up the strata to a lawsuit, if an owner is accused of breaching that poorly worded bylaw.”

“A simple misplaced word can completely change the legal meaning of your bylaw.” - Sandy Wagner, VISOA president In addition, a lawyer can check to make sure your bylaw is legally enforceable and doesn’t contravene the Strata Property Act or other legislation, she added. To help strata councils and strata owners better understand creating and enforcing bylaws, VISOA has invited lawyer Justin Hanson to speak on the topic. Hanson, a highly

regarded strata lawyer practicing on Vancouver Island, will clear up some of the most common questions. “If your strata is working on updating your bylaws, this could save you from some mistakes,” Wagner said. The seminar will also include a question and answer session. The seminar runs from 1 to 4 p.m. on June 28 at the Comfort Inn, 3020 Blanshard St. Doors open at 12:15 p.m. VISOA seminars are open to the general public as well as members. To pre-register, email seminars@visoa.bc.ca.

Casino gambling aboard BC Ferries has been ruled out by the provincial government. The province wanted to test slot machines on Tsawwassen-Swartz Bay ferries as a potential money maker to boost revenue at BC Ferries but a business analysis found it would instead lose $240,000 a year, because of the staffing, equipment and technology costs. "Ultimately, the costs, risks and procedural changes required to operate [electronic gaming devices] on a BC Ferries vessel outweigh the financial gains," the BCLC review says. Extra costs and time for BCLC and the provincial gaming enforcement branch weren't considered in initial estimates, it says. The review also red-flagged various potential security challenges. "Disputes over game outcomes, thefts, delayed jackpots due to irregularities, children being left unattended if guardians enter the gaming facility during the sailing and other issues" might cause delays for passengers and damage the reputation of BC Ferries and BCLC, it said. Unlike casinos on land, police couldn't deal with a problem until the ferry docks. The Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay run passes through U.S. waters for at least 20 minutes, the review noted. "There is the potential that a portion of all sales aboard the vessels, including gaming revenue, may need to be shared with Washington State." Other issues included lack of a consistent connection to BCLC's network and the need for ferries staff to adhere to strict BCLC cash-handling procedures and perform many of the responsibilities of casino employees, from solving technical problems to recognizing problem gamblers. The review said allowing ferry passengers to gamble at slot machines without the food, drink and entertainment options BCLC requires at casinos would be a break from current policy and might be criticized as a move towards video lottery terminals that are otherwise banned in B.C. The province says planned mid-life upgrades to the Spirit Class ferries will expand the gift shops and relocate the coffee shop to take advantage of available space to raise more revenue. "While the BC Lottery Corporation’s analysis showed that this idea wouldn’t make money, we’ll remain open to other revenue-generating services," Transportation Minister Todd Stone said.

Soaring summer temperatures mean danger for dogs in cars Mike Davies Black Press

Meteorologists are expecting another scorcher of a summer, meaning another season of danger for our pets – especially those furry friends who travel around with their owners in vehicles. Despite the seemingly constant reminders not to leave pets in cars on hot days, many owners still haven’t received the message, based on the number of calls received each year by police. B.C. SPCA, CRD Animal Control and police are all hyperaware of dogs in cars at this time of year. The primary message they’re passing on to the public is not to bring your pet with you when you leave the house, if you’re planning on leaving it in a vehicle for any length of time. An ambulance service in Australia recently conducted a study on a 29 C day. Inside a previously air-conditioned car with the windows up, the temperature went from 20 C to 44 C in just 10 minutes. Ten minutes later it had reached 60.2 C (140 F). The Canadian Safety Council says children and pets’ core temperature rises three to five times more quickly than adults

fresh water and a bowl.” The B.C. SPCA asks anyone who spots an animal in distress in a vehicle to follow the following procedures: Attempt to find the animal’s owner, possibly by asking nearby stores and shops to page the owner of the vehicle, if necessary. Place towels or clothing over the windows to increase shade levels. If the windows are cracked, try to get water to the animal or use a fan to circulate air within the vehicle. Call the Animal Cruelty Hotline at 1-855-622-7722 between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. weekdays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends. Police or CRD Animal Control should be contacts outside these hours. “If the dog is up and moving around in the car,” says Marcie Moriarty, chief prevention and enforcement officer of B.C. SPCA, “we urge people to take proactive steps to try and determine the location of the owner, as this may be the fastest way of getting the dog some relief. However, tragedy can occur in less than 10 minutes, so if the animal is exhibiting signs of distress and an owner cannot be located, the authorities need to be called in.”

because of their size. Hyperthermia (heat stroke) occurs when a body’s core temperature reaches 40.5 C. Since dogs cool themselves by panting, there’s no cooling taking place when the air around them is also hot, and they are therefore physically unable to regulate their body temperature. This can quickly lead to hyperthermia.

“... tragedy can occur in less than 10 minutes.” - Marcie Moriarty, B.C. SPCA In the time it takes to pick up a few things for dinner at the grocery store, get through the line at the check-out and get back to your car, a dog left in that car could have already died an agonizing death. If you insist on bringing your pet with you, CRD Animal Control senior bylaw officer Don Brown says to make sure you take some precautions. “Panting and drinking water helps cool them,” he says. “If you travel with your dog this summer, remember to bring

The future of the Maritime Museum of B.C. is in question after the province announced that negotiations between the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority are at an impasse Friday. “We’re all extremely disappointed,” said Clay Evans, chair of the Maritime Museum of B.C. Society Board. “We’re going to have an emergency board meeting to discuss our future and where the Maritime Museum of B.C. will be going forward.” After nine months of negotiations between Shared Services B.C. and the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority to secure a lease for the Maritime Museum at the old steamship

terminal, the province said it is unable to provide on-going financial support or funding capital improvements at the terminal. Ian Robertson, CEO of the harbour authority, expressed his disappointment that they weren’t able to reach an agreement as well, but said they must move on. “We were hopeful that the government might be able to find a solution, obviously that’s not happened so now we need to move on to find a suitable tenant or tenants for the steamship building,” he said. “[The maritime museum] is important in preserving and promoting our maritime heritage and we look at them as partners in the harbour and will continue to support them in their efforts.” The ministry has also asked the museum to leave their current location at 28 Bastion Square by Sept. 30 “to avoid risk to staff and to assess the state of the building,” according to a press release. Currently, most of the collection is at Bastion Square,

while the rest is being stored in a facility on Seymour Street. Evans said they’ve kept their eyes open for other sites the museum could go, but in the meantime, he hopes to establish a small 3,000-square foot board office in the downtown core. The harbour authority, the primary tenant of the building on Belleville Street, originally signed a six-month contract with the maritime museum to occupy the space last year. But since the contract expired on Feb. 28, negotiations were stalled between the authority, the museum and Ministry of Transportation, Innovation and Citizens’ Services. The emergency board meeting took place Monday night after the News’ deadline. editor@saanichnews.com

Cougar sightings in Lakehill on Saturday On June 6, the Saanich Police Department received two separate reports about a possible cougar sighting along the Lochside Trail adjacent to the Lakehill neighbourhood. The first call was at 9:12 p.m. close to Blenkinsop Lake where a large animal was heard making growling noises just off of the trail in the brush. Police attended the area but found nothing. The second call for a possible sighting was at 11:50 p.m. in the 4000-block of Lochside Drive near Don Mann excavating. Police attended the area close to a B.C. Hydro site where they spoke to a security representative who shared that a group of youth saw the animal in a nearby tree believing it to be a cougar. A thorough search of the area also resulted in no further sightings. A Conservation Officer was notified of the sightings.

Mallette to head Vic high performance swimming Ryan Mallette has been promoted from interim to permanent head coach of the Swimming Canada High Performance Centre based at Saanich Commonwealth Place. Mallette has been coaching the top centre athletes on an interim basis since January due to the late Randy Bennett’s battle with cancer. He joins Swimming Canada on a permanent basis after having served as the swimming NextGen coach with the Canadian Sport Institute Pacific for three years. He also oversaw the Claremont School program. After nearly 15 years of experience in the Montreal area Mallette was recruited in 2012 to oversee the Canadian Sport Institute Pacific Talent Development Program in Victoria. He worked alongside Bennett, the former High Performance Centre coach for three years. “Randy was a great friend and mentor to me and I’m honoured to accept the challenge of following in his footsteps,” Mallette said. “I am excited to have the opportunity to lead this group through their Olympic preparations and into Rio.”

Paddler targeting Western Canada Summer Games Victoria's Coen del Valle, 17, of Chinook Racing Canoe Club on the Gorge Waterway was one of five successful male Sprint Kayak athletes named to Team BC 2015.

Del Valle is competing in a 100-kilometre club fundraising Paddle-a-thon on June 14. For more information on Chinook paddling visit chinookclub. ca.

Spartans third at golf provincials Travis Paterson News staff

The Claremont Spartans golf team clinched a bronze medal at the AAA B.C. High School Golf Championships in Port Alberni on Thursay (June 4). Claremont’s foursome shot a combined score of 302 on Day 2 to earn the podium spot. It comes just two weeks after winning the Island championship at Morningstar golf course in Parksville. “The boys played with poise and dignity. I was extremely proud of their conduct on and off the course,” said coach Shon Ryan.

The team consists of Cam Bourque, Josh Miller, Simon Hassel, Alex Cordero and Marty Callan (also a member of the squad, but not attending BC's because of a lacrosse commitment, was Caleb Kueber). After Day 1 Claremont was third (293) behind Elgin (White Rock) 287 and Gleneagle (Fraser Valley) 278. “It was an incredible season,” said Ryan added. The Spartans also placed second at the Ballenas/Morningstar Invitational, first at the Police Tournament and first at the Lower Island Championships.

“Another thing that stands out is how well we get along with Belmont’s team. We travel with them, and the boys actually hang out with them, Spectrum too. It creates a nice little fraternity where there wasn’t one,” Ryan said. Playing golf can be very impersonal. During tournaments, you don’t even know how your team is doing until everyone is back, so it’s nice to have that social aspect off the course, Ryan added. Bourke and Miller will both play at the post-secondary level. reporter@saanichnews.com

If you wear prescription glasses, matching clip-ons, photochromic lenses (glass or plastic) or separate sunglasses are all good options. Polarized lenses are particularly good if you plan to be on or near the water. Contact lens wearers should be especially careful to anticipate problems.
