Resident pitches plan to keep deer in park Travis Paterson

Beautiful sights and sounds fill the gardens HCP adds free parking shuttle from VI Tech Park for festival Travis Paterson News Staff

It doesn’t take much to get Dana Gage excited about the little things at the Horticultural Centre of the Pacific. Gage came to HCP earlier this year and is now in charge of one of Saanich’s biggest annual festivals, this weekend’s Arts & Music in the Gardens, Saturday and Sunday. “We’re expecting 2,000 people. This is an ideal exemplification of the community that exists here at HCP,” she said. While some might consider it subtle, Gage is over the moon about the addition of a free shuttle service running to HCP for both days of the festival from the Vancouver Island Technology Park’s east parking lot. “It’s free, the parking is free, and it’s such a great solution to minimize the impact we bring on our neighbours,” Gage said. Parking will once again be offered on the field of HCP’s neighbouring Quayle Road farm. But the less Dana Gage impact they can make on the neighbourhood the better. Which is why they’re also offering a $1 discount on tickets to all cyclists. “We’re assembling a bike rack area at the immediate front, we really hope more people can bike here this year.” As the festival hits its 20-something birthday, it has gradually returned to the centre of the gardens from the lower field, bringing it out of the fields and making it more accessible for festival goers, Gage said. The communal ‘Gathering Place’ will feature the majority of the fun while the lower field will have some of the 40 artists and the beverage tent. Five food trucks are also coming in, Grilled to the Mac, Wannawaffel, the Gelato Bar, Taco Revolution, Coast Lunch Box, Red Wagon Espresson, and of course, the popular on-site Nourish restaurant will be open too. Drinks in the beverage tent, by the way, will be local. “De Vine Vineyards from Saanich and Sea Cider from

Artist Natalie Shumka talks about her painting to Marian McCoy at the Horticultural Centre of the Pacific during a previous Arts and Music in the Gardens. The event is the primary fundraiser for the gardens and features the works of 40 artists. Central Saanich, we love it, they have so much to offer,” Gage said. “I think people really appreciate the effort we made to bring in 20 new artists, we are trying to offer the whole spectrum of painted work with metal, pottery and fabric.” Music will go all day on three different stages. Gage wants to remind visitors to bring a reusable water bottle as the CRD water cart will be on hand.

Arts & Music in the Gardens will have demonstrations by the Vancouver Island Bonsai Society and Victoria Flower Arrangers Guild. Tickets are $11 for adults and $8 for students/seniors in advance, online at hcp.ca or on site. Tickets at the door are $12 and $9, respectively. For more information call 250-479-6162 or visit hcp.ca. The festival is Aug. 15 and 16, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The free shuttle from VI Tech Park begins at 10:30 a.m.

Saanich targets education around sex industry Councillor says human trafficking not just a northern problem Travis Paterson News Staff

Though the topic is rarely spoken of in a local context, Saanich isn’t immune to human trafficking, says Coun. Fred Haynes. In June, Haynes began working with Saanich Police Chief Bob Downie to have Saanich endorse an upcoming resolution by the North Central Local Government Association about human trafficking on the September agenda of the Union

of B.C. Municipalities. The resolution encourages municipalities to work with the RCMP and local police in B.C. to combat human trafficking. Since it came up, three Saanich families came to Haynes to say they appreciate the positive steps in this area, he said. “They’ve had impacts in their families, we’re not immune to it here in Saanich,” Haynes said. “Saanich is playing a bigger game now, we’re championing issues that happen across the province.” Downie spoke to council and staff on Monday, spurring Saanich to take a lead in supporting the resolution at UBCM. “There are families in Saanich, and maybe some people in this room, who don’t believe this is an issue that can

happen [here], but it can,” Downie said. “It’s a national issue, a provincial issue, and my personal belief is if there’s anything we can do to educate at a municipal level, we should do that.” Locally, the goal Fred Haynes is to build a better awareness with families and youth about the dangers of the sex industry at all levels, Downie added. “There are people in the sex industry who don’t know they have a choice, they don’t know there is help. Some think they’re going to get arrested if they ask

follow Anar Food On Facebook

for help, and that’s just not true.” The resolution at UBCM asks to implement the recommendations from two reports, one, the National Task Force on Sex Trafficking of Women and Girls in Canada, or, the ‘NO MORE’ Ending Sex-Trafficking In Canada, as well as B.C.’s Action Plan to Combat Human Trafficking. “People from the NCLGA are delighted with Saanich,” said Haynes, who received emails from Quesnel and Dawson Creek councillors thanking him for bringing the issue before Saanich council. The 2015 UBCM Convention will be held Sept. 21-25 at the Vancouver Convention Centre. reporter@saanichnews.com

Voter guide puts women’s issues in the spotlight Jacob Zinn News Staff

A new voter guide by a University of Victoria grad is hoping to shed light on a number of prominent women’s issues in the upcoming federal election. Michael McDonald, who graduated in June with a BA in political science, developed the guide in his last semester at UVic. The guide was commissioned by the International Women’s Rights Project, a non-government organization that advocates for women’s human rights, in partnership with the Up for Debate coalition, a network of more than 175 women’s organizations across Canada. “It was something that I was really excited to partake in because these are issues which, I think, often get left out of the dominant electoral discourses,” said McDonald, whose guide focuses on such issues as violence against women, affordable housing for single mothers, economic equality and political participation. “The reason why it’s so important to focus on these issues is because they are so intersecting. They’re intersecting with each other, but they’re also intersecting with the larger conversation of the environment or the economy that tend to dominant federal campaigns.” The guide details how certain issues affect women differently from men and the general stances of Liberals, NDP and Conservatives on each issue. McDonald said many of these issues have been overlooked in previous elections and stressed the importance of highlighting them now before voters go to the polls. “We have issues that affect 50 per cent of the population that are largely left out of the conversation,” he said. “The hope is that this guide is going to serve as an informational tool for voters to let them know about some of the problems or concerns around these particular issues.” McDonald noted that one of the features of the guide is a “Questions for Candidates” section under each issue, which asks politicians how they would address the issues if elected.

Jacob Zinn/News Staff

Michael McDonald, a recent UVic grad, has developed a voter guide for the upcoming federal election, focusing on women’s issues and calling on candidates to address a range of matters that affect women across the country. “It can be really intimidating when you’re standing in a room full of candidates and 300 strangers – you have a question and you’re passionate about the issue, but it can be difficult to articulate that question,” he said. “Through the use of the guide, voters may be able to

ask those questions and get these issues to rise to the forefront.” The guide is available on the IWRP’s website as a PDF or a Word document. To view it, visit iwrp.org/projects/. jacob.zinn@saanichnews.com

OUR VIEW

Conservatives show outdated priorities With Canada’s economy mired in recession, with too many Canadians without a job and struggling to make ends meet, with the country’s sick and elderly being forced to wait too long to receive adequate medical coverage, many Canadians are looking to Ottawa in hopes that their concerns are being heard. Unfortunately, with an Oct. 19 federal election looming on the horizon, the federal government has no time to focus on the problems facing Canadians. Instead, the Harper Conservatives would much rather roll out solutions to problems that don’t exist. After spending much of the weekend talking about plans for a travel ban that would prevent Canadians from visiting countries associated with terrorism, Stephen Harper found yet another subject that won’t remind Canadians of the economic mess the country’s in. A release from the Conservative Party of Canada Tuesday announced a Harper government would commit even more resources to Canada’s failed war on drugs. With governments around the world acknowledging the untold billions spent on the war on drugs were wasted, with marijuana becoming legal (and a source of government revenue) in U.S. states, with political, medical and law enforcement officials across the country admitting it’s time to change Canada’s drug policies, rigid ideology prevents the Tories from changing course. In making the announcement, Harper said “cracking down on illegal drug use and prescription drug abuse is a priority for our government.” That’s right: not jobs, not health care, not the environment – illegal drug use is the government’s priority. The irony in all this is that the relentless attack ads aimed at Justin Trudeau by the Conservative Party ask: “legalizing marijuana – is that the biggest problem we have to solve?” While the Liberals, NDP and Green Party focus on issues important to Canada’s future, Harper’s Conservatives just can’t let go of issues that most Canadians see as a distraction from the real problems facing the country.

Glendenning parking should be expanded Given increased use of Mount Doug Park and Saanich Parks and Recreation’s commitment to inclusion of people with disabilities, there is a good case for enlarging the car park at Glendenning Road. I am disabled (an amputee) and there are no disabled spaces at the existing car park. I need all the energy I have to exercise my dog; a ‘few hundred metres’ (as quoted in the July 31 article) to the alternative parking in Winchester Road can make all the difference to me. Please consider that some users are not ‘unwilling’ to walk the extra distance, they are unable to. Fire trucks may have to back out of Glendenning regardless of people parking on the road because of trees on either side. My experience is that people try very hard not to block the road or cause problems for residents or other park users. We all want to make this work and for the park to be accessible (legally and safely) to as many people as possible. Over to you Saanich Parks and Rec. Jackie Gay Saanich

Place sewage plant offshore Victoria’s sewage treatment facility or facilities should be placed on the ocean. Several communities around the world have sewage treatment plants

located on vessels offshore. I only heard this option mentioned once in this debate. Placing the plant offshore requires no land, no local landfill, no truck traffic in neighbourhoods, no massive disruptions to build a pipeline to the landfill, and utilizes inexpensive barging away residue to a landfill such as the open pit mine on Texada where further treatment or storage could take place. Nimbys rejoice, there is a solution. Peter Nalleweg Victoria

Letter goes over the top Granted, the writer of the letter ‘Give inappropriate message the boot’ (Aug. 7 Saanich News) has a point, just not much of one. And granted, the hope that all violent impulses can be sublimated through competitive sports is a false one. I still believe sports can teach children that behaviour that’s OK on the pitch is not OK anywhere else. Having said that, all soccer players know that if their kick goes anywhere other than the ball (i.e., at a she or a he, rather than an it) there is a risk of penalty that could cost their team the game. Perhaps a less “over-the-top” response would be to make it clear that a T-shirt with “if it moves, kick it”

Regional governance study would look at ways to integrate services Continued from Page A4

Last month, Oakes met with Desjardins, Saanich Mayor Richard Atwell and Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps to discuss the idea of governance review in the Capital Regional District. After the shuffle, Clark sent a mandate letter to Fassbender, stating he is to “develop and present options to cabinet on potential processes under which local governments could either amalgamate or integrate service delivery by June 30, 2016.” Helps was excited to hear that a timeline has been set. “I think there’s a strong mandate from the residents of this region to at least explore what a more comprehensive approach to regional governance might look like,” she said. “I think Minister Fassbender will step into the role and pick up where Minister Oakes left off,

to integrate services more effectively. Desjardins was quick to note, however, amalgamation is not

which is a commitment to have something underway sooner rather than later.” Helps hopes to have a regional governance study done to determine the best way to integrate services such as water, parks, transit, resource recovery, waste collection, fire and police, followed by a binding referendum question on all municipal ballots in 2018. “It’s a really important topic. I think it’s one that doesn’t have the urgency of homelessness, sewage or economic development, but it’s not unrelated to all of those things,” she said. “Governance is critical to have good systems in place. I’m glad the premier sees it as something that has a timeline attached to it.” According to Desjardins, there has been discussions with the police board and the chamber of commerce about how

a priority for the township and will wait to hear from residents at an upcoming town hall meeting.

“You’re seeing internally, within municipalities, that we are striving to do more work together

and see how that turns out,” she said. “The province may have the mechanics and resources to look

at what models work across the country and beyond and that would be helpful to municipalities.”

a little different from anything else here.” While the group does perform more traditional standards by such legendary composers as George Gershwin, Duke Ellington and Oscar Peterson, he said they’re known more for their unique takes on songs from the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s. “We take some older songs by The Beatles, we combine a Cole Porter song with a Queen tune, we’ve done Joni Mitchell’s Big Yellow Taxi,” he said. Rasmussen said the group’s first season started strong and featured a wide age range, from members in their mid-20s into their 60s. “There’s a lot of

closet musicians and singers in the area, and they all came out of the woodwork,” he said. Though the group didn’t have a name at the start of auditions last year, they brainstormed and came up with RazzmaTazz – a clever name that didn’t pigeonhole them into just doing jazz tunes. “As soon as somebody mentioned it, I thought, that’s good because it plays on my name and it sounds fun and it doesn’t have the word ‘jazz’ in it, so we can branch out a bit,” he said. “If we want to do that Queen and Cole Porter thing, the jazz police aren’t going to get too worried about that.”

Now, with 30-some members in the group, Rasmussen is looking to add a few more before rehearsals begin in September. He has auditions scheduled for Aug. 29 and 30, as well as Sept. 12., though accommodations can be made for singers who can’t make those dates. Those interested in joining should have some previous singing or choir experience and sight-reading ability, but Rasmussen said he doesn’t want potential hopefuls to feel intimidated by the audition process. “All it means is we talk a little bit, and before then, I send them a short segment of music along with audio files for them to

learn, and they come and they sing it,” he said. Rehearsals and sectionals are held Monday evenings from Sept. 14 to May 16 at Lambrick Park Church, 1780 Feltham Rd. A handful of shows have been scheduled for the upcoming season, with the possibility of additional performances. For more information about auditions, rehearsals and the 2015-2016 calendar, visit dalerasmussen.com and click RazzmaTazz Jazz Choir under Choirs.

Fit an active lifestyle – at any age Hyundai’s all-new compact Tucson crossover is aimed squarely at pre-family buyers living active lifestyles. But I’ve got a tip for those drifting into a greyer reality; it’s an ideal vehicle for you too. Everything that matches the 2016 Tucson to an active lifestyle applies just as meaningfully to empty nesters and retirees, whether their activity includes walking the pooch or sailing above the surf on a kiteboard. While Hyundai’s advertisements for the Tucson feature square-jawed athletic dudes with defined stubble and bronze skin, it doesn’t mean they don’t intend to sell the snappy crossover to folks like me, on the dark side of fifty. For marketing purposes, my likeness won’t favour sales. You Everything that see, I’m told by those in the biz matches the 2016 that you can sell a young man’s car to an old man but not the Tucson to an active other way around; this applying lifestyle applies just equally to women. as meaningfully to While my future as a sales prop is only slightly more certain empty nesters and than winning Lotto Max without retirees. buying a ticket, I enjoyed my day behind the wheel of the new Rob Rothwell Tucson. The meandering route allowed my driving partner and me to explore the many bays and coves along British Columbia’s idyllic Sunshine Coast. It’s in this sort of environment that the 2016 Tucson will have older buyers admiring its exceptional level of operational refinement and day-long serenity. It delivers a near-premium driving experience, though not a particularly exciting one. A smooth, absorbent ride was clearly more the priority than searing performance in the corners and on the straightaways, and that’s fine by me. In redesigning the Tucson, Hyundai engineers focused

on all aspects of quality in addition to refinement and styling. The latter of which has given us a vehicle longer, lower, and wider than its predecessor. Aboard the Tucson, one is immersed in a well thoughtout cabin transmitting a sense deportment that was sadly lacking in the former execution. Today’s version is as accurately assembled as the best of them in the fiercely competitive compact crossover segment. While Hyundai’s soft-touch surfaces and intuitive architecture are praiseworthy, it’s the larger slice of ‘content’ pie which they serve that sets the Tucson apart from its contemporaries under competing nameplates. Thoughtful touches include heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-level cargo floor, and a remarkably convenient Proximity power liftgate. The latter opening by merely sensing the key in proximity of the liftgate for three seconds.

No longer can the Tucson be considered an entry-level crossover despite its modest across-the-board increase of roughly $400. The upscale climb includes the availability of an optional 1.6L turbocharged I-4 GDI engine harnessed to a segment-exclusive 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT). Three drive modes – Eco, Normal, and Sport – enable drivers to tweak engine response, shift mapping, and steering resistance, to correspond with the mood of the day. I really didn’t find a need for Sport mode, largely enjoying the Normal setting most. After spending a day administering the turbocharged and non-turbocharged Tucson variants, I departed the Sunshine Coast with the view that Hyundai has raised the bar for refinement, comfort, and value in the compact crossover segment. Albeit, handling dynamics and sheer athleticism may still belong to the likes of Mazda’s CX5.

Competitors prepare to display their body of work Kendra Wong Black Press

Saanich’s Sam Jahnke doesn’t look like a stereotypical bodybuilder. The 28-year-old stands five-foot-10

with her long blonde hair pulled tight into a ponytail. Her arms and legs are carefully sculpted. But for the last 20 weeks, Jahnke has been training to compete in the Victoria

Cup Bodybuilding Championships this Saturday at the McPherson Playhouse. It’s one of the first British Columbia Amateur Bodybuilding Association (BCABBA) competitions on the

Island in the last decade. Jahnke will compete in the bikini category during this weekend’s competition. “In bikini, it’s probably one of the hardest ones to judge because it isn’t a structure-like figure, where you want to have a ‘V’ taper. In bodybuilding you want to have an ‘X’ whereas in bikini, the criteria is that you have a healthy appearance, no physical striations in your muscles, lean but not too lean,” she said. In preparation, the lifeguard and personal trainer lifts weights and does cardio five days a week, while also eating healthy. “I really like the science and art of playing with your body,” Jahnke said. “It’s like building something. You get feedback from judges one show, so I like to

Saanich’s Sam Jehnke lifts weights at Crystal Pool Tuesday. Jehnke is one of roughly 80 competitors taking part in the Victoria Cup Bodybuilding Championships this weekend. be able to build that up in the gym and with diet and constantly seeing your body change.” For the past three years, Jahnke has been competing in bodybuilding competitions, usually cracking the top five. Most recently, she

came in second place during a competition last year. This year, she hopes to make the top five, who then qualify for provincials. The end goal is to make nationals in two or three years. Jahnke is one of roughly 80 competitors

from across the province who will be participating in the bodybuilding championships. This year’s categories include bodybuilding, bikini, figure, fitness and physique. Corey Swiergosz, president of Influential Sports Inc., responsible for putting on the event, said there was a demand for this type of event on the Island. “The BCBBA only had Lower Mainland shows and there were a tremendous number of competitors from the Island that demanded a show come back to the Island and we were able to bring one this year,” he said. “The fitness industry as a whole is booming. What we also hope is to inspire the next generation of fitness competitors and inspire people to live a healthy, active lifestyle.”

Saanich driver and auto racing enthusiast Bill Okell has qualified for the Sports Car Club of America’s National Championships with the No. 2 spot in the standings after the Western Conference 12-race qualifying series. The SCCA National championships are slated for the final week in September on the high-banked oval and road course of Daytona International Speedway. However, the San Francisco-based Huffaker Engineering team, for which Okell races an MG Midget, is undecided as to whether they will attend this year’s championships. There is a competitiveness factor to determine if the British Leyland-based sports car they use can realistically compete against some of the high-powered, Japanese-made equivalents they’ll face in Florida. This weekend Okell will be in Shelton, Wash., at the recently built Ridge Racetrack, to compete in an SCCA sports car race with his own MGB.

Saanich minor hockey goalies Josh Sanders (14), left, and Stephen Neale (16), right, will benefit from the association’s new goaltending development program implemented by Bill Morrison, back left, and Perry Elderbloom, back right.

We Plan. You Pack. No Worries !

Saanich puts spotlight on goalies Travis Paterson News Staff

Saanich Minor Hockey Association is taking goaltending to new levels, signing a three-year contract to develop its youth goalies with specialists Gold in the Net. Bill Morrison is the director of goaltending for SMHA who was tasked by the organization’s executive committee to put a long-term, in-depth plan together. “It’s a huge commitment to [goalie] development, it’s what is needed and it’s awesome,” said Morrison. The former professional goalie spent time playing in North America and Europe before settling in town, where he works with the Victoria

Cougars junior B team, as well as having spent time running community hockey programming for Saanich. He says by incorporating a goalie-first development program, Saanich minor hockey is ahead of any minor hockey association that he knows of. “I’ve talked to guys from here to Saskatchewan and none have heard of this yet, so we’re proud to lead the way,” Morrison said. Gold in the Net runs summer hockey camps focused on goaltenders and is currently at Pearkes Arena. They’ll be visiting every second week for the entirety of the minor hockey season from August to March. “The big commitment by SMHA is the ice time, dedicating an hour and 50 minutes every

second week to this,” Morrison said. Goalies will benefit from the added focus of having Gold in the Net instructors visit to tweak their games, from the ages of novice (7-8) and up. High-end bantam players, midget and midget rep will benefit from Gold in the Net’s mental training as well. Gold in the Net president Perry Elderbloom was here last week. The former Columbus Blue Jackets goaltending coach has worked with goalies all the way to the top of the spectrum including Henrik Lundqvist. “This is the most aggressive stance on goalie development [at a minor level] that I’ve seen,” Elderbloom said. “It will be setting the paced standard for a lot of associations.”

Off-ice program improves peripheral vision Lights glow across the two-metre Dynavision board as Dylan Ferguson relies on his peripheral vision to chase the red flashing buttons with his hand without losing focus on the centre screen. The Lantzville resident is hoping the machine will help him get into the Kamloops Blazers’ WHL lineup as a 16-year-old backup goalie next month – and based on his score, his chances are high. He’s been practising on the Dynavision mental training board all week. “Basically it awakens your peripheral vision but it’s not going to strengthen your peripheral vision,” says instructor Isaac Stevens of Qualicum

Beach. The well-spoken teenager is only 17 but speaks to the benefits of the Dynavision better than some university instructors. “The takeaway benefit is it helps take in information and understand your environment,” Stevens says. “In junior hockey, if you can speed up your reaction time by trusting your peripheral vision, you’ll be that much better. The pressure of speed changes everything, and that’s what hockey is at the next level.” SMHA goalies (bantam and up) will now have access to the Dynavision board every month. reporter@saanichnews.com

Uptown at home in the heart of the city Two bedroom suites are all that remain from second phase of Uptown Place Travis Paterson News Staff

The last 11 suites of Uptown Place’s phase two are all that remains for one of the most central developments in Greater Victoria. Technically, the Uptown shopping centre and surrounding area fall in the Mount View and Colquitz neighbourhoods but time changes everything, and the name Uptown seems here to stick. “We’re finding people consider this region the Uptown region, and the centrality of Uptown Place is so much that I would personally prefer to call this spot Central City,” said Tri Eagle marketing development co-ordinator Oliver Tennant. “The reason is, we have buyers who have come specifically to this area for its equidistant commutes from all parts of Greater Victoria” Phase two of the two-building development is set for a mid to late August move-in date with 27 of the 38 suites sold. All that’s left are two bedroom, two bathroom suites ranging in price from $370,000 to $440,000, depending on size and layout. The expansive, underground bike storage of the first building is already full, showcasing the building’s immediate access to the Lochside and Galloping Goose trails. Uptown Place is a joint development between the Jawl brothers, Mike and Dave, and the Lee family that runs Tri Eagle. The initial concern for nearly all potential buyers at Uptown Place is the noise pollution, as the pair of four-storey buildings stand over the Patricia Bay Highway (Highway 17). Say YES to BC

Two bedroom, two bathroom suites are all that remain on the market at Uptown Place, ranging in price from $370,000 to $440,000. But a site visit does a lot to ease concerns over noise. Yes, the eastside of the building overlooks the Pat Bay Highway and Saanich Fire Department. But when sitting, only the views of Swan Lake and Mount Douglas Park show up in the horizon. Traffic noise on the east side is also greatly reduced by natural barriers such as trees and shrubs, as well as a fivelatch vapour barrier and heavily glazed window on the door to the balcony. “It’s more view than anything,” said Tennant. “[The highway] is a sound creator but we’ve done a lot to work around it to maximize the view. There’s a

water feature to create a natural background noise and among the environmental noise barriers are five rain gardens with native plants.” There’s also considerable noise reduction in the walls and floors, Tennant said. The southward views from the fourth (top) floor include downtown, the ocean and the Olympic mountains. Uptown Place was just nominated by the Victoria Residential Builders Association for three CARE awards (Construction Achievements and Renovations of Excellence), in the categories of Best

Condominium Project or MixedUse Development, Best Landscape and Best Sales Centre/Showroom. The Gold winners will be announced at the CARE Awards gala on Oct. 17 at the Fairmont Empress Hotel. The public will select the winner of the People’s Choice Award from finalist photos displayed at Hillside Centre Sept. 4-18, and online at www. careawards.ca from Aug. 24 to Sept. 27. Voters are entered to win a stay at Long Beach Lodge Resort, www.longbeachlodgeresort.com, 2002 CARE Awards Project of the Year. reporter@saanichnews.com
