Victoria police have ticket scammer in sights Complaint leads to investigation Kendra Wong Victoria News

More than a week after a Vancouver couple was charged with fraud for selling thousands of fake tickets to entertainment events, the Victoria Police Department is close to catching another person allegedly responsible for selling hundreds of fake tickets across the country. “That suspect is in Canada, not necessarily in British

Columbia, is transient in nature, so they live in different communities across Canada and then move on and applies their trade to the Internet,” said Detective Sgt. Derek Tolmie, in charge of financial crimes. The department has identified multiple victims across Canada who have purchased phoney tickets from the individual. The investigation began last year when two Victoria residents filed a complaint with the department after they were sold fake tickets to a popular concert. According to Tolmie, the case is very similar to the one in Vancouver, but noted they are not related.

OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY 11 - 1pm

The person posted the tickets online, potential buyers contacted the scammer, negotiated deals, then buyers would send them money. “The person never sent them the tickets, so they were out a few hundred dollars,” he said. “These people know what they’re doing and they’re good at what they do. They have the stories and excuses [not to meet up]. The person who is the subject of our investigation — I saw the email correspondence, they were good.”

Since the first couple came forward, detectives have identified other victims of the same scammer. Tolmie wouldn’t specify which events the person sold fake tickets for, but said they were for “popular in-demand venues.” He refrained from giving details so the suspect isn’t tipped off. Police have recommended to crown prosecutors laying charges of fraud over $5,000. The biggest challenge in the case is jurisdictional boundaries. “Everybody who gets involved with buying tickets on the Internet, it’s always in the back of your mind ‘oh, is this a scam?’ Well chances are, n Request an invoice from they’re in that the seller.

VicPD wary of deadly drug Seven Victoria deaths linked to fentanyl Pamela Roth Victoria News

As the number of fentanyl-related deaths across the country continues to rise, Victoria police are keeping a watchful eye on what drugs are surfacing on city streets. Since making an appearance in Victoria about two years ago, fentanyl has come to the attention of Inspector Scott McGregor of the focused enforcement team a lot more frequently, and it’s causing him concern. “It’s a concern for us because of the profit margins being increased so significantly that we could potentially see more of it,” said McGregor, adding police have worked closely with ambulance services responding to drug overdoses, distributing naloxone kits to reverse the effects of fentanyl. “I think it’s probably as prevalent here as it is anywhere else. The drug use is significantly more in

Vancouver, but really on a per capita basis I don’t think it’s that different.” Produced in clandestine laboratories, fentanyl is a potent synthetic opiod analgesic that can appear in the form of pills or powder. The drug can be prescribed by physicians as an effective pain killer often used to treat individuals with chronic cancer pain or broken bones. If taken in excess, however, fentanyl lowers the heart rate, blood pressure and makes a person sleepy to the point where they can become unconscious and stop breathing. According to police, the drug is often sold as OxyContin to unsuspecting users since pills are similar in colour and identifying marks. It is also frequently mixed into other street drugs such as heroin. The problem, however, is that fentanyl is about

100 times more potent than morphine and 20 times more potent than OxyContin. Even one dose can be fatal. Fentanyl has been responsible for hundreds of deaths across the country. Since July 20, there have been at least four deaths linked to illegal drugs laced with fentanyl in the Metro Vancouver area. The most recent was Aug. 1 when a 17-year-old male died after taking what he thought was Oxycontin with a friend. Most of the B.C. deaths have occurred

in Vancouver, which recorded 29 last year, followed by Nanaimo with 18 deaths. In Victoria, the B.C. coroners office has recorded seven deaths linked to fentanyl since January 2012. “This has not yet shown itself to be a huge problem in the Greater Victoria area,” said Barb McLintock, spokesperson for the B.C. coroners office. “This is a Lower Mainland problem and a few other strange pockets – one of which is Nanaimo.” Earlier this year, the spike in fentanyl-related overdose deaths in B.C. prompted police and health authorities to issue a warning to occasional drug users. During the past three years, the percentage of drug overdose deaths in which fentanyl was detected has risen to more than 25 per cent. In more than 80 per cent of those cases, the cause of death was a mixed drug overdose, with fentanyl being just one of the components. editor@vicnews.com

Vancouver Island Motor Gathering Kendra Wong/Victoria News

Members of the Dragon Flyers dragonboat team paddle along the Gorge during practice Monday. The team is raising awareness around mitochondrial disease that teammate Marilyn Carr-Harris was diagnosed with three years ago.

Dragonboat team pulls together Kendra Wong Victoria News

Imagine a house that runs solely on a generator or a cell phone that constantly runs on five per cent battery. For Victoria’s Marilyn Carr-Harris, life is like running on a low battery all the time. “You only have energy for one thing at a time like doing your laundry. That’s me,” Carr-Harris said. “I go through the day and I use up my energy. By the end of the day I don’t have any energy left.” Carr-Harris, a librarian, was diagnosed with a mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation disorder three years ago. The disorder prevents her body from breaking down certain types of fats and as a result, she has fatigue, poor muscle coordination and

fluctuating muscle weakness. “Once I got the diagnosis, my life became a lot easier. I was relieved, it was scary too. I’ve seen myself progress over the years,” she said, adding she went for 10 years without being properly diagnosed. “It was about adapting my lifestyle.” Now, Carr-Harris has a modified diet, lifestyle and medications. She has the most energy in the morning, but throughout the course of the day she deteriorates. That hasn’t stopped her from doing what she loves. Every Monday evening, CarrHarris straps on her lifejacket and heads out to the Fairway Gorge Paddling Club to practice with the Dragon Flyers dragonboat team. The team has been paddling together for the past three years and picked up a bronze medal at

the Nanaimo Dragonboat Festival last year. Most recently, they won third place in their division at Gorge Fest last weekend. “Paddling has been an important part of my life. I’ve discovered that I’m able to move my body in a different way and I feel a lot freer on the water,” CarrHarris said. “Something just kicks in. Dragon boating is pretty special because you’re hitting the water at the same time as your teammates. It’s like you become one bigger unit.” This year, the team and the Victoria Dragonboat Festival are raising awareness of mitochondrial disease. “Throughout the past few years paddling with Marilyn, it’s just frustrating seeing the little awareness that is in the health system,” said team captain Sandra

Der. “Marilyn is my friend, it hurts to see what she has to go through — just to normally be able to swallow, eat or speak.” Andrea Pleven, head coach, said despite Carr-Harris’ disease she continues to be an inspiration to the team. “Marilyn is such a positive influence in the boat because we all know abut her mitochondrial disease and how it effects her,” Pleven said. “You can see how hard she works because we literally lift her out of the boat because she works that hard. She’s quiet but she’s a force to be reckoned with.” Carr-Harris and the Dragon Flyers will compete at the Victoria Dragonboat Festival this weekend (Aug. 14-16).

Liquor service training expanded Pamela Roth Victoria News

For Guy Le Monnier, serving booze at events he caters can be tricky business sometimes. His Victoria catering company, Island Gourmet Catering, is often hired for private parties where drinking is typically involved. Most of the time guests are are well behaved when it comes to how much liquor they’ve consumed, but sometimes they need to be cut off. Knowing when to do that is something Le Monnier’s staff is trained to look out for. “It is challenging. It’s not easy to say we have to maybe have that person take a break or maybe step in, but if we have to do it we will do it,” said Le Monnier, whose been in the catering business for 14 years. “We’ve had to cut people off, but it was never a problem. Most of the time people do understand.” In order to ensure safety for those serving alcohol at small events, the B.C. government is offering a new training program for licence holders, managers and servers, regardless of whether they are

paid or volunteer. Beginning Sept. 15, everyone who serves or sells alcohol in B.C. is required to have either completed the new Special Event Server (SES) course or the more in-depth Serving It Right (SIR) certification, regardless of the number of people at the event. The same applies to managers and special occasion license

“The reality is, cutting someone off can be difficult, but sometimes it needs to be done.” - Coralee Oakes

holders for events with less than 500 people. The new self-study certification online course takes one hour to complete and provides information on legal responsibilities and effective techniques for recognizing intoxication, along with preventing problems related to over service. “The reality is, cutting someone off can be difficult, but sometimes it needs to be done,” said Coralee Oakes, minister responsible for liquor. “We want to keep British

Columbians safe when they are attending special events – and we can help do that by ensuring that the people serving alcohol are not only aware of their legal responsibilities, but are prepared to handle uncomfortable situations, should they arise.” The training pertains to all servers in more than 5,600 licensed restaurants across the province, along with staff at B.C. liquor stores, rural agency and wine stores. Event servers will need to renew their training every five years. Those already holding a valid Serving It Right certification do not need to complete the SES course. Le Monnier and his staff already have the Serving It Right certification, but he expects to use the SES training for new staff that don’t already have something in place. “We want to make sure they know what to serve and how to serve, and of course dealing with people who’ve had a few drinks already,” Le Monnier said.

Sam Jehnke lifts weights at Crystal Pool Tuesday. Jehnke is one of roughly 80 competitors participating in the Victoria Cup Bodybuilding Championships at the McPherson Playhouse this weekend.

Body builder has eyes set on provincial championships Kendra Wong Victoria News

Saanich’s Sam Jahnke doesn’t look like a stereotypical bodybuilder. The 28-year-old stands five-foot, 10 inches tall 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 and 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 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 BCABBA 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.”

OUR VIEW

Hello Victoria! It took a while to figure out a plan, but I finally managed to escape Edmonton and move to Victoria. The idea popped into my head about seven years ago when my best friend moved here from Calgary, and I came to visit her at least once a year. Like many Albertans, the colourful city and wonders of this beautiful island stayed with me whenever I came back home, and I began to wonder what it would be like to live on the island – a place my friend called paradise. After five years covering crime at the Edmonton Sun, I could no longer ignore the call of the island and my plan to make Victoria my new home finally fell into place when I snagged the job as editor of the Victoria News. I have nothing against Edmonton, aside from those days when the temperature dips to -30C in the winter (which never seems to end), the rowdy rednecks with boat loads of money, and the pothole-riddled streets that are the reason for many rattles in my newish car. Most of my family lives in the area, and I grew up in a town an hour-and-a-half away from the city. Like Victoria, Edmonton is a vibrant city full of festivals, cafés and unique shopping opportunities. But it’s Edmonton – a flat city plopped on the prairies that fortunately has a beautiful river valley that provides a welcome escape from the daily grind. I’ve been in Victoria now for just over a week and it still feels like I’m walking around in a dream. The people seem more relaxed and happy – probably because many of them have either come from Alberta or have lived in Alberta at some point, only to return to what I’ve been told is the best city in Canada. I’m excited to be spending my time in my new home as editor of the Victoria News, digging deep into the city’s issues and meeting many new faces along the way. I’m also curious to see if this truly is paradise and the best city in Canada.

But we’re expected to believe that Mulcair has a different position, for now. Harper was forced to admit that his long effort to persuade U.S. President Barack Obama to approve the Keystone XL pipeline has failed, and the project will have to wait until Obama leaves office next year. The debate also confirmed positions on Canada’s modest role in bombing Islamic State terrorist positions in Iraq and Syria. The Conservatives are for it, and the Liberals, NDP and Greens are against it. Trudeau set the stage for the contest in Quebec, which B.C. voters can only watch from afar to see if it once again decides the shape of their federal government. Trudeau pushed Mulcair on his cynical bid to court the separatist voters who suddenly swung to Jack Layton’s NDP in 2011. Like petroleum prices, it’s beyond our control.

University grad creates online voter guide Kendra Wong Victoria News

A University of Victoria grad has created an online voter guide in an effort to push women’s issues into the spotlight during the federal election campaign. Michael McDonald, who recently graduated with a bachelor of arts in political science, wrote Voters Guide to Women’s Issues in his final year of university to bring 11 women’s issues to attention, such as childcare, health care, and violence against women. “We want this guide to be a source of information for voters, but also a guide that gives them the tools to ask their candidates specific questions that will hopefully elevate these very important women’s issues to the forefront when they’re often left out of broader electoral discourses,” McDonald said. The guide also includes challenges and offers solutions to the issues, outlines the three major political parties’ stances and provides questions that voters can ask candidates. According to McDonald, though they’ve focused on the stances of the Liberal, Conservative and NDP (the parties they believe are most likely to form government in the fall), the questions can also be applied to Green Party and independent candidates as well.

According to a report by Elections Canada, during the last federal election in May 2011, the voter turnout rate was just over 61 per cent, with women participating at a higher rate of 59.6 per cent compared to men with 57.3 per cent. There was an increase in female voters in 2011 compared to the 2008 election as well. The guide can be found at iwrp.org.

Gas prices remain stubbornly high despite oil’s deep dive Gas prices remain high despite the latest slide in crude oil prices and motorists are feeling gouged yet again. Greater Victoria’s gasoline is down only slightly from $1.31 a litre a year ago, while crude has plunged more than 50 per cent from around $98 a barrel to less than $44 as of Aug. 7. Petroleum industry analysts say it all boils down to supply and demand.

Crude oil accounts for less than half the end cost of a litre of gasoline, with government taxes and refining charges the other big factors. “I wish there was a simple explanation,” said Jason Parent of the Kent Marketing Group. “There isn't much of a relationship on a day-today basis between crude oil and retail gasoline.”

Meet Your

Parent said crude and gas prices can go in different directions for different reasons, and gas prices in B.C. can diverge from what other Canadians pay – which is what’s happening now. Our prices follow those along the U.S. west coast, where the wholesale gas supply has been constricted by refinery problems in California, driving prices up.

Island poker run revived Steven Heywood

Background in construction and development, along with selfless attitude helps realtor make clients’ dreams come true Kyle Kerr’s relaxed, professional attitude helps make home buying – or selling – easy. “I provide comprehensive service, while also making the entire process fun,” he says. “I enjoy working with a no-pressure mentality to help my clients feel relaxed and protected when making the largest investment in their lives.” Kyle’s background in construction supply and residential and commercial development helps him find quality construction and value when buying and selling homes. He can point out potential hazards or issues that could arise in the future allowing him to help clients find added value and opportunities for re-zoning or renovations to increase re-sale value. “My contacts in the trades are a valuable resource that many of my clients take advantage of with great success,” says Kyle. Kyle loves getting to meet new people every day and helping them realize their dream of home ownership. “Getting to work closely with my clients, I get to learn so much about them, which to me is a very rewarding experience,” he says. His five-and-a-half years experience as a realtor includes three years on the Victoria Real Estate Board, lending his expertise to the MLS, Finance & Audit and Professional Standards committees. “Charity and volunteering are high priorities for me, I feel we are very lucky

to call Victoria home, but there are lots of people in need. As a member of the Young Entrepreneurs Society I help organize such events as Fashion for a Cure and Evening to Inspire.” Kyle’s devotion to helping others doesn’t stop there. He also hosts his own charity events including an annual sports tournament raising money for Cystic Fibrosis Canada and a cocktail event at Christmas raising donations for the less fortunate. He’s volunteered for numerous community organizations including Habitat for Humanity, Saanich Parks and Recreation, Fernwood and James Bay community associations. Both active and cultured, Kyle loves being outdoors as much as a night at the opera. “I try to enjoy everything that living on Vancouver Island has to offer, from surfing in Tofino and Sombrio, to playing football, basketball, softball and dodgeball. I also appreciate the fine arts, regularly attending Pacific Opera Victoria and Ballet Victoria,” he says. Working as part of an award-winning real estate team with the Mark Imhoff Group of Coldwell Banker Slegg Realty is his first love. “Our motto is First Class Service, backed with knowledge. And we work hard every day to make sure our clients needs and goals are met and exceeded. This team approach allows our clients to have over 25 years of real estate marketing, construction, development and negotiation experience working on their behalf.”

A poker run for boats is back this summer. The Sidney Poker Run will take place Saturday, Aug. 15 out of the Port of Sidney Marina and organizers say they are welcoming all boat and boat owners — whether they have a skiff, a runabout, a cruiser, a fishing boat or a 60-foot yacht. “It’s not a race,” says one of the event organizers, Dale Backhaus. “We have a long and a short course so as many people who want to take part, can.” The Sidney Poker Run is a revival of the Vancouver Island Poker Run, which had been held out of Sidney until five years ago. That event had started in approximately 2000. ”It’s been renamed, has a new look and new logos and it’s open to a lot more boats,” said organizer Debbie Tracz. A new non-profit society was formed back in January as organizers felt it was time to bring the fun back to the boating community. The Sidney Poker Run is definitely a social event for area boat owners — and it also raises money for the Sidney Lions Food Bank and the Saanich Marine Search and Rescue Society. “It’s going to be a ton of fun,” said Tracz. “It’s a full day on the water.” Following a captain’s safety meeting, the poker run starts at 9:30 a.m. off Sidney’s Bevan Pier. Backhaus said they are hoping to have a lot of vessels on the water that day. The long course is 88 miles and the short 30 miles with stops at various Gulf islands. Boaters will pick up their cards (or pick them up back on land afterwards). There’s a lunch stop for all vessels, no matter which course they chose to take, at Mill Bay Marina. And whoever has the best poker hand at the end of the day wins the grand prize of $1,000. There’s a dinner and dance at the Mary Winspear Centre that night, with raffles and live music, and organizers say there will be local owners and boaters from Washington State here for the event. “We’ve had a lot of support from the Town of Sidney and many others,” said organizer Dawn Attwood, noting the Sidney fire department has plans to be on the waterfront to help start the poker run. The group is still looking for event sponsors and registrations are still being taken for poker run participants. “At the end of the day,” said Backhaus, “We want to have some fun and help out those local charities.” To register or to find out more information, visit sidneypokerrun.ca. editor@vicnews.com

the store. “It won’t [close down]. I think there’s people with enough strength of intention and vision that this place is going to remain. I can’t envision the alternative because it would crush the community.” Many people have suggested the owners set up a crowdsourced funding campaign to help raise money for a down payment on the properties — a task McKimmie said she hopes to have in place soon. “I’m trying to find the method that is going to work best for the community and perhaps it could be crowd funding as well as investment, so people can give what they

feel like they can afford, but if someone is looking to invest, it gives them an avenue to do that,” said McKimmie, adding there have been a few people who have expressed interest in investing. “We’re all here day in and day out and you’re support for people and people are support for you. People come in and they’ve had a bad day and they’ll unload and we work through it. Then something like this happens and everybody is here and they’re supporting us. It’s a true building of community in every sense of the word.”

Owners of Niagara Grocery store in James Bay hope to set up an online fundraising campaign to help raise enough money to put a down payment on the property to keep the beloved business running. Late last week, owners of the grocery store were notified their landlord had listed the building and the property next door for sale. The landlord is hoping to sell the two properties together for an estimated $1.3 million. “When I got here on Saturday kendra.wong@vicnews.com morning the signs were already up,” said Jennifer McKimmie, who Township Community Arts Council presents opened the business with her husband theth4th Annual Esquimalt Arts Festival Ken Winchester just over six years ago, transforming it from a convenience store to a much-loved neighbourhood market.

▸ Hyundai takes their entry-level Tucson crossover upscale for 2016 while increasing its price tag by a mere $400 despite a major gain in standard equipment.

▸ Exceptional structural rigidity and absorbent underpinnings gave the Tucson a remarkably smooth, well-controlled ride over the worst of West Coast roads.

▸ The all-new Tucson makes a strong visual statement with bold styling and a longer, wider stance.

alfmoon Bay, B.C. – Hyundai’s all-new compact Tucson crossover is aimed squarely at pre-family buyers living active

Fit an active lifestyle – at any age 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 see, I’m told

by those in the biz that you can sell a young man’s car to an old man but not the other way around; this applying equally to women. While my future as a sales prop is only slightly more certain than winning Lotto Max without buying a ticket, I enjoyed my day behind the wheel of the new 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

Hyundai offers more for less 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.

SPCA seeks donations for pup The Victoria SPCA hopes the public can help save a five-month-old German shepherd suffering from a severe bladder infection with cauliflower growths. Cedric was surrendered in Port Alberni because his former owners moved and is currently staying in foster care among goats, chickens, other dogs and humans. The pup will require two to three months to clear up his infection, followed by another surgery and recovery. “Cedric is such a sweetie! His bladder is too far back, which causes incontinence,

Shoe lovers – put on your flats. On Aug. 20, 20,000 square feet of Victoria will belong to footwear aficionados. DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse is opening in the former Michael’s location on Blanshard Avenue. It’s part of an expansion for the discount retailer that includes eight new locations across the country. “In the United States, DSW has more than 400 stores with approximately 20,000 square feet at each store,” said Bruce Dinan, CEO of Town Shoes. “We’re the largest footwear stores in Canada. Today we have six stores and we’re opening seven stores in the next eight weeks.” The Canadian company has about 200 locations under Town Shoes, DSW, The Shoe Company and Shoe Warehouse. The 20,000 square feet will carry some 20,000 to 24,000 pairs of shoes. “We have men’s shoes, women’s shoes and accessories: socks, belts and women’s handbags,” he said. The new store, the first location in B.C., will employ between 40 and 60 people. “We certainly have looked at all the markets across Canada and B.C. is a pretty important province,” said Dinan, a former Victoria resident who now lives in Toronto. “We wanted to be on Vancouver Island. There are lots of shoe lovers on Vancouver Island – it’s the perfect market. People come to Victoria from all over the Island on major shopping trips.” DSW includes major brands such as Converse, Vince Camuto, Steve Madden, Nine West, Nike, New Balance, Lacoste, Guess, Ivanka Trump, BCBG, Skechers and Birkenstock. “We have up to 40 per cent off the manufacturer’s price and all our stores have a clearance section in the back with branded product up to 70 per cent off. There’s a brand and a deal for everybody,” said Dinan. The store opens with a brief ceremony at 8 a.m. on Aug. 20. “We’re really looking forward to launching the store. We’re excited to be in Victoria,” said Dinan. llavin@vicnews.com

Golfers raising funds for shelters Kendra Wong Victoria News

With the swing of a golf club, realtors at Royal LePage Coast Capital Realty are raising money for local women’s shelters. As part of the 11th annual Royal LePage Shelter Foundation Golf Party, golf enthusiasts of all levels can compete in the Texas scramblestyle play at the charity event at the Cedar Hill Golf Course (1400 Derby Rd.) on Sept. 1. New this year will be a putting tournament and two chances to win a $10,000 prize if participants sink a hole-in-one on two different holes. Following the golf tournament, there will also be a silent auction, dinner and live auction. All proceeds from the auction go toward four local women’s shelters that provide a safe transitional home for women and children escaping domestic violence, including the Cridge Transition House for Women, Victoria Women’s Transition House Society, Margaret Laurence House and the Sooke Transition House Society. “A lot of us take shelter and safety for granted and what we’d really like to do is help get the message out that not everyone feels safe or has shelter or feels safe in their shelter,” said Sarah West, golf

party organizer. “A very small donation or participating in an event might not seem like a lot for people that do it, but it makes an incredible impact on the lives of women and children in Victoria.” Marlene Goley, manager of the women’s and family centre at the Cridge Centre, said the donation will be used to keep vehicles on the road to transport women to appointments and support women with no immigration status, among “dozens of other things.” “We just couldn’t do what we do without their help. It not only is absolutely crucial to what we do of being able to provide the supports that women need so they can use our services, but it also sends a critically important message to women who are leaving violent relationships that there is a community out there that supports their decisions,” Goley said. Currently, there are 60 people registered for the tournament and this year’s goal is to surpass last year’s $20,000 fundraising total. “We are looking for people who want to golf or donate prizes to help,” said West, noting local businesses have already supplied gift certificates, artwork, and flights to Vancouver. The cost is $125 for golf, power cart and

dinner or just $50 for dinner. For more information, visit Rlpgolf4shelter.

The armoured scout car AKA the “ferret” comes roaring to life at the Lt.-Gen E.C. Ashton Armoury Museum in Saanich. It is a smooth ride in the armoured vehicle that looks like a mini tank. It has a six cylinder engine, five speed transmission forward and reverse, and reaches speeds up to 50 kilometres an hour. The vehicle, which is operated by a driver and crew commander or gunner, was originally used in 1964 in the first deployment to Cypress from the Fort Garry Horse Reconnaissance out of Winnipeg. It is outfitted with a 30 calibre machine gun with room for six smoke grenades, high explosive grenades and other personal weapons. As a reconnaissance vehicle, it would have been used for internal security, intelligence gathering or as a liaison and would have been serviced by the service battalion. The 9,000-pound vehicle still

runs surprisingly well despite being decades old. The reason the ferret and other vehicles from the 39th service battalion are running so well is because of the crew that keeps them in shape. “The vehicles are all operational, it’s not like going to a regular museum where people have to look through the plexiglass,” said Chris Preston, the scout car driver responsible for checking the oil and coolant, and making sure the headlights and horn still work. “It’s a way of keeping on the continuity of contact with the forces.” Preston is one of roughly 15 volunteers (many of whom are ex-Navy) who help run the Ashton Armoury Museum and help with the upkeep of some 21 vehicles. The museum represents four units: the service battalion, field ambulance, military police and signals squadron. Along with the vehicles, they also have displays featuring thousands of items belonging to the battalion stretching from as far back as the Napoleonic era, up to current day. “We’re showing off a bit of military history,” said Dick Reynolds, fleet maintenance manager who has worked at the armoury for almost a decade.

“The vehicles are all operational, it’s not like going to a regular museum where people have to look through plexiglass.” — Chris Preston

“It’s the camaraderie we have here, plus the camaraderie we get on the streets when we drive the cars. I just love it here.” The ferret, along with six other vehicles, including command and military police jeeps and two Canadian multipurpose vehicles will be on display at the Esquimalt Celebration of Light’s Cars, Rods and Rides show in September. “There’s enough people who can remember there was an army barracks on one side here,” said Lorne Argyle, organizer of the car show. “I’m 70 years old and grew up here and I remember them.” The free event is on Saturday, Sept. 12 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Archie Browning parking lot.

pretty quickly and then the recipe took some time.” That was February 2014 and since then they’ve contracted a food scientist to ensure food safety and leased a commercial kitchen in the Keating area of Central Saanich. There they hand peel horseradish – Graham notes that’s the first ingredient as opposed to the parsnips that populate many commercial brands – and grind with tears streaming down their faces. But they’re doing it together. “Peeling it is the hardest thing, it’s labour intensive but it makes the difference. It’s 100,000 times worse than when you cut an onion,” Pam said. “We have our family involved. A lot of love goes into each [jar].” They’ve developed the Damn Hot and Double Damn Hot and are always seeking new recipes with a milder version in the works for more sensitive taste buds. Then there’s the distinct possibility of a seafood variety. “Because this is all new to us, Pam and I have said we’ll see where it goes. The one consistent thing is doors keep flying open. The world is beating a path to our door,” Graham said. “We have quite a number of ideas for horseradish.” The two original recipes are already a household staple, at least in Oak Bay. Available at both the Oak Bay and Sidney Street markets, they’re also on shelves at the Village Butcher, Slaters Meats and at the Fort and Foul Bay Save on Foods. But the happiest moments were post-Oak Bay Tea Party. Hee-Haw Horserad!sh featured heavily at the famed baron of beef hut during the annual party, and the feedback at the following night market made the two life-long Oak Bay residents feel like stars. To find out more about Hee-Haw Horserad!sh visit heehawhorseradish.com. Their homemade HeeHaw Horserad!sh is also available at: Market on Yates, Red Barn Market, Rootcellar, Lifestyle Market, McLennans Island Meat and Seafood (Cook St.) and Carnivore (Brentwood Bay). editor@vicnews.com

The loonie's swoon is prompting more B.C. residents to rethink plans to vacation in the U.S., according to a new poll. The Insights West online survey found 57 per cent of B.C. respondents said they're more likely to vacation in this province and 53 per cent said they'll make fewer trips to the U.S. than usual. Seventeen per cent said they have already cancelled a planned trip to the U.S. The loonie sank last week below 77 cents U.S., a new low for the year following a 10-cent plunge last winter as oil prices fell. Nearly two-thirds of those surveyed said the declining Canadian dollar has either a significant or medium effect on their travel plans SFU business professor Lindsay Meredith said he's not surprised by the trend of Canadians staying home and said he expects more Americans will come north as they realize their greenback goes farther here. “Tourism is the big winner out of this, no question about it,” Meredith said. “The big losers are the Canadian consumers.” The dollar dove after the Bank of Canada cut its interest rate in response to sagging economic growth, which also prompted a recalculation that

the federal government is actually heading for a $1-billion deficit this year, rather than a budget surplus. Meredith suggested the weaker dollar may aid federal government re-election hopes by propping up eastern Canadian export industries, but will be counterproductive to the economy elsewhere, because average families will have less money to spend as prices of U.S. goods climb. “It adds more gas to the fire because the imports are much more expensive, so you've just shorted the Canadian pay cheque again,” he said. It will become a “double whammy” when the U.S. federal reserve increases its interest rates, widening the spread against the cost of borrowing in Canada, and giving currency markets another reason to dump the loonie for the greenback. “That will mean more devastation for the loonie,” Meredith said. “My prediction is we'll go to 70 cents.”

TURNER, Loretta Elizabeth December 24, 1910 - July 30, 2015

Passed away peacefully at Rosemary Heights in Surrey on July 30, 2015 at the age of 104 years. She was born in 1910 to Elizabeth and James Harrington. She was born on Christmas Eve, in 1910 to Elizabeth and James Harrington. She was the youngest of five children and born into a musical family. They were known as the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Harrington Pipebandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and this talented family traveled across the western states and provinces playing at state fairs and marching in parades. Her father, James Harrington of Pictou County Nova Scotia was a well known piper, her brother played kettle drum, Loretta played small drum and two sisters played the pipes. Loretta won many medals for Scottish dancing, and in later years continued her love for music, playing piano and organ. In 1929 Loretta married the love of her life, Ray Turner, in Kamloops, after being engaged many years while she waited for him to complete his degree in Pharmacy. They were devoted to one another and enjoyed 69 years together! Loretta was predeceased by Ray in 2008 and is the loving mother of Terry (Larry) and Bruce (Barb). She will be dearly missed by her grandchildren Mike (Lisa), Greg, Christie (Den), Adam and extended family Tom, Cheryl and Glen. Great grandchildren Jordan, Alex, Jill and Scott. Loretta was a bright light for so many. Her family was so important to her and she cherished her dear friends, and loved music, both listening and performing. Truly an inspiration to all who loved her! Herâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was a life well lived with elegance and thoughtfulness! A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, August 15th. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Arthritis Society. Condolences may be offered at www.firstmemorial funeral.com

How to ‘green’ your bathroom reno Natural materials will resist mold and mildew growth

athroom renovations are one of the most popular home improvement projects in Canada. Creating your dream bathroom can add greatly to both the value of your house, as well as your family’s enjoyment of your home. But bathroom renovations also offer a number of opportunities to include several features that can dramatically improve the energyand water-efficiency of your house, while making your home healthier and more comfortable. If you’re thinking about renovating your bathroom, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) offers the following tips on how to make sure your renovation is as efficient, green and affordable as possible: Install low-flow faucets, showerheads and fixtures, as well as ultra-low flush toilets that consume 6 litres of water or less per flush. Bathrooms account for about 75 per cent of the water used in the average Canadian home. Water-efficient fixtures can significantly reduce the amount of water your family sends down the drain on a daily basis. To conserve resources and minimize your environmental footprint, select certified forest flooring and cabinetry, recycled countertops and tiles, and locallysourced products and materials. Plus, choose materials, products and finishes that are low-emission, low-polluting, easy to clean and maintain, and which will remain in good condition for years to come. Plan for future renovations by making sure your bathroom will be able to adapt to changes in your needs as you or your family members get older. For example, make sure the controls and fixtures

BLACK PRESS GREATER VICTORIA-Friday, August 14, 2015 ▸ Hyundai takes their entry-level Tucson crossover upscale for 2016 while increasing its price tag by a mere $400 despite a major gain in standard equipment.

DrivewayCanada.ca |

▸ Exceptional structural rigidity and absorbent underpinnings gave the Tucson a remarkably smooth, well-controlled ride over the worst of West Coast roads.

▸ Not only is the Tucson generously equipped; its cabin is well thought-out and beautifully executed.

▸ The all-new Tucson makes a strong visual statement with bold styling and a longer, wider stance.

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. “More for less” has always been a Hyundai hallmark, and the Tucson adheres to the credo with its outstanding list of standard and near-standard features, including safety tech such as Blind Spot Detection with Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, and Autonomous Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection. 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). The turbocharged mill fortifies the AWD Tucson with 175 horsepower and 195

lb.-ft. of torque, and is the obvious choice for passing-lane adherents. The base 2.0L I-4 GDI (required with FWD) is the powerplant of choice for the modest. It shells out 164 horsepower and 151 lb.-ft. of torque through the auspices of a six-speed autobox. 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.

Gamers create hot-looking Ford

DrivewayBC.ca

By Keith Morgan

A unique all-new Ford Focus RS featuring an exterior designed by players of Forza Motorsport for Xbox has been unveiled at the international 2015 Gamescom event in Cologne. The all-new Focus RS is the third generation of Focus RS cars, following models launched in 2002 and 2009. Developed by a global Ford Performance team, the RS features a specially-engineered 350 PS 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine; pioneers the innovative Ford Performance All-Wheel-Drive system; and is the first RS to offer selectable Drive Modes – including industry-first Drift Mode – and Launch Control. Ford also has joined with Microsoft to feature the all-new Ford GT ultra-high-performance supercar in Forza Motorsport 6, the latest title in the acclaimed racing simulation franchise for Xbox.
