Victoria’s council made a statement at their Aug. 27 meeting by agreeing to give $112,000 towards Cool Aid Housing Society’s new Cottage Grove development at 3112 Quadra St. in Saanich. It signals a bold move by Victoria as the precious money – which comes from a city that is not overly flush with funds – is going outside of its own borders and into Saanich, as the building will sit one block north of the Tolmie Avenue border. But Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps said it only makes sense. “If you look at it from an economic point of view, Cottage Grove will house 45 less people that police and bylaw officers have to wake up in [Victoria] parks, 45 less people who could wake up in the hospital with two police beside them as

escorts,” Helps said. “There’s no better way to demonstrate municipal leadership than to partner with our next-door neighbour.” The designs for the Cottage Grove apartments are complete, the building permit has been applied for and construction for the 45-unit building is expected to start by November. It will house seniors who are currently homeless. “[Victoria is where] most of the future [Cottage Grove] tenants currently live…” said Cool Aid executive director Kathy Stinson. “It’s fairly groundbreaking for Victoria to be giving money outside [their community]. It shows their commitment to ending homelessness, hats off to them.” The grant matches dollar for dollar what Saanich council agreed to provide last year.

Cool Aid operates 374 apartments in the Capital Region for people who have been homeless. Cottage Grove is the first 45 of 360 units Cool Aid plans to build in the next three years. It will be the society’s 11th building and fourth devoted to seniors. To meet the expected $7.4 million cost of Cottage Grove, Cool Aid is relying on a grant from the CRD for $675,000, as well as the $112,000 from each Saanich and Victoria. They’re confident the province will meet the remaining costs, Stinson said. “Housing is an issue that doesn’t stop at municipal boundaries and this particular building is just a few metres away from the Victoria-Saanich border,” said Saanich Coun. Fred Haynes, who also sits on the CRD’s Regional Housing Trust Fund Commission board with Victoria Coun. Charlayne Thornton Joe, who was one of

the eight Victoria councillors who voted in favour. “It makes such good sense for the two cities to collaborate on this, I have nothing but admiration for this bold move.” Haynes added this helps open the door to future collaboration of funds towards projects such as Cool Aid’s, but said it would have to be done on a case-by-case basis. Construction for Cottage Grove will likely last one year and Stinson expects residents to move in around January 2017. The building will be staffed with five fulltime and two attached and casual staff. Stinson said Cool Aid’s next project could be announced within a few months. It will be in Victoria, a repurposing of an existing building. To build all 360 units Cool Aid aims to raise $5 million. reporter@saanichnews.com

Vikes’ legacy captured in new Walk of Excellence Travis Paterson News Staff

Seeing a photo of her teenage self was the only part of the new Lynda & Murray Farmer Walk of Excellence that Nancy Mollenhauer didn’t immediately recognize. “This stirs up a lot of emotions, it brings that feeling back from the 1980s,” said the former national team field hockey player. Mollenhauer started her illustrious career just down the road at nearby Mount Douglas secondary school. Now she’s among hundreds of UVic Vikes to be captured in the new Walk of Excellence along the hallway between the main foyer and the gymnasium of the Centre for Athletics, Recreation and Special Abilities. The walkway was unveiled in a private gala last week. It will greet visitors to the Vikes basketball games at CARSA, the first of which is Oct. 2 when the Vikes’ men host the Carleton Ravens in the Guy Vetrie Memorial Tournament. “Back [in the ‘80s] you were a Viking or a Vikette,” recalled Mollenhauer, who was then Nancy Charlton. “It’s very powerful, there’s so much history. We had a strong connection between teams back then. We’d support the soccer guys and they’d support us. And we’d all go to the basketball. There was a

Lynda and Murray Farmer officially opened the new Lynda & Murray Farmer Walk of Excellence in the Centre for Athletics, Recreation and Special Abilities last week. The Walk of Excellence is along the hallway from the main foyer of CARSA to the gymnasium. real sense of belonging, of course, it wasn’t always about winning. You felt it if a team lost too.” The walkway showcases Vikes athletics photographs, historic memorabilia and success stories of Vikes athletes, coaches, supporters and builders. It’s named in honour of former

UVic Chancellor Murray Farmer and his wife, Lynda. The North Saanich couple made a $500,000 donation to support the project, which began a year and a half ago with story and photo collecting by the Vikes communication department. “When we built CARSA

we knew there would be opportunities to provide a physical space that could honour the rich athletic tradition but we also wanted to preserve the McKinnon Gym legacy,” said Clint Hamilton, director of Vikes Athletics and Recreation. All 17 of the Vikes basketball

championship banners will remain in McKinnon, a decision that alumni supported, Hamilton said. Instead, replicas are being hung this week in CARSA. Hamilton’s work has been crucial to the Vikes modern legacy, as the former president of Canadian Interuniversity Sport was a key driver to build CARSA and in instituting the annual Vikes Championship Breakfast which raises hundreds of thousands of dollars in student-athlete scholarships. The walkway is more than just an interactive display with digital touch screens that document past championships and awards, it sets a new standard, Hamilton added. “New students get a sense right away that they are part of something bigger and hopefully it will not only inspire them to reach their potential but also to do their part to uphold our tradition.” Murray and Lynda Farmer are longtime supporters of UVic and said they donated because they witnessed the positive effect of the university’s athletic program. “We were always inspired by how [UVic] athletes manage their time with school and sports,” Murray said. “It’s such a strict regime, and they often achieve academic excellence and have a strong community involvement. It shapes them as people.” reporter@saanichnews.com

Wind storm causes minor damage in Saanich Travis Paterson News Staff

Heavy wind and rain from the weekend’s storm left minimal damage in Saanich but was felt nonetheless. A number of Saanich stations from the locally based School Based Island Weather Network registered gusts up to 74 kilometres per hour (Lochside elementary school) and an hour-long average of gusts at 48 km/h (Craigflower elementary school). Meanwhile more than 11 millimetres of rain fell in a 48-hour window. The combination downed several significant branches and a few trees including a sizable Schubert chokecherry (which are typically smaller) on the boulevard of Saanich Commonwealth

Place along Elk Lake Drive. “Full tree failures” are common in summer storm conditions, often due to the weight of the water and the timing of the season, as deciduous trees are “fully leafed out,” said Yann Gagnon, Saanich Parks supervisor of urban forestry, horticulture and natural areas. “This [chokecherry] had decay which is not typical for its species. There’s not typically a windstorm this early, they’re usually in the wintertime when deciduous trees [such as the chokecherry] are typically leaf free.” Most failures brought about by wind are because of structural decay or disease, he added. Among the branches that fell in Saanich were limbs from Garry oak and big leaf maple.

The storm hit the South Island with less velocity than the 80 km/h winds Vancouver experienced. That city released a bulletin over the weekend saying “City of Vancouver and Park Board crews are working around the clock to respond to more than 1,000 weather-related calls of debris, damage and flooding after the worst storm in almost a decade blew through the region on Saturday.” Mainland residents endured power outages of up to 36 hours. The summer’s drought certainly took a toll on urban forest canopy in Saanich – the soil is still so dry rainwater can’t saturate. However, a theory that the recent drought has led to more stressed trees is still just a theory, Gagnon said. reporter@saanichnews.com

Saanich Police hope the public can provide some clues into a break-in at Gordon Head School. Police report there was an intrusion alarm at the school on the 1600 block of Kenmore Road at about 3 a.m. Aug. 25. The security company responded to the alarm but did not note any obvious signs of entry to the school. The break-in was reported to police by a school official several hours later. “While there were no signs of forced entry to the school, it was later determined that entry had in fact been gained, and that a commercial floor scrubbing machine (ride-on) had been removed from the school,” according to a release from Sgt. Steve Eassie with the Saanich

Police. Nothing else was reported stolen. Saanich Police were alerted that morning to the location of the floor cleaning machine, valued at $10,000. “It was found, high centred, on a walking trail heading into Mt. Doug Park, near the end of Edgemont Road,” said Eassie. “Given the nature of the theft, it is suspected that the person responsible for the break-in and theft likely rode the floor scrubbing machine from the school to where it was abandoned.” Anyone with information on the theft is asked to contact the Saanich Police Department at 250-475-4321, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). editor@saanichnews.com

A garage fire caused approximately $30,000 in damage to a Tillicum home on Saturday afternoon. At 3:21 p.m., the Saanich Fire Department received a call reporting a structure fire in the 300 block of Arnot Avenue with a possibly disabled person inside. The department sent out one ladder, two engines, one rescue

vehicle and one command vehicle, with an additional engine from the Esquimalt Fire Department and assistance from Saanich Police and B.C. Ambulance Service. According to a press release, smoke entered the residence from the garage until crews confined the fire. Multiple occupants were inside the residence, but all were able to exit without injuries. The cause of the fire is under investigation. jacob.zinn@saanichnews.com

SAANICH SAANICH NEWS NEWS -- Wednesday, Wednesday, September September 2, 2, 2015 2015

Saanich army cadet takes part in West Coast adventure Cadet Tristan Hill, 17, of Saanich ended his summer with a splash as one of just 16 B.C. army cadets chosen to participate in the 2015 Regional Cadet Expedition. The nine-day expedition consisted of two days of biking on Vancouver Island and four days of lake and ocean kayaking in the Gulf Islands.

Cadets were also given the chance to hone their skills in planning a route, map reading, navigation, bikemaintenance, using a GPS, equipment and clothing selection, low-impact camping, and ways to promote environmental stewardship. Each cadet also took a turn as team leader. The cadets were provided

the opportunity to learn about the ocean marine life native to the west coast of British Columbia and specific survival techniques for the wet coastal climate. The cadets were put in challenging situations and over the nine days they learned to work together as a cohesive team. Hill has been a

cadet with 3005 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps at Vanalman Armoury for three years. He attends Regent Christian Online and starts Grade 12 this year. When not busy with the cadet program, he volunteers with a kids club and plays slopitch softball. He plans to bring home the skills and experiences from

OUR VIEW

Campaign will expand learning opportunities A new campaign has set its sights on opening the doors to science for a whole new generation. The Friends of the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory Society has announced plans to reopen The Centre of the Universe visitors centre that sits next to the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory atop Little Saanich Mountain. The centre was forced to close in summer 2013 in the wake of cutbacks in the federal budget. That decision left school groups with no access to the observatory, and the public limited to a few special events held on Saturday nights over the summer. The Friends of DAO hopes to open the observatory and Centre of the Universe to elementary school field trips. To reach that goal, the group must raise $9,500 and have that matched through grants to fully fund a new School Tours program as well as some equipment upgrades to improve the quality of presentations on Observatory Hill. The Centre of the Universe houses historical artifacts like the original 1.8-metre mirror from the Plaskett Telescope and once offered historical tours, multimedia shows, and youth programs. The group’s vision entails a new Centre of the Universe that would allow visitors to stand on alien worlds using 3D technology, see the night sky far from city lights and explore the unique ways First Nations related to the cosmos. To achieve that vision, the society has started a crowd-funding site to help raise the $9,500 needed to bring back science education to the observatory. The IndieGogo site can be found at http://igg.me/at/FDAO. Science education is key to developing a highly skilled workforce that will lead to a strengthened economy. The Centre of the Universe is just the kind of thing needed to captivate young minds and draw them into the realms of science. We would encourage the community to rally around the cause to reopen the Centre of the Universe. It holds a key to better education for our children and a better future for our country.

It struggles to flow, with a black asphalt bottom and thick wax that has to be scraped out of the pipeline by the ton with giant “pigs” that clean and monitor walls for corrosion. The five Prudhoe Bay oilfields have been declining in production for 20 years, to the point where the TransAlaska pipeline now carries about a quarter of its design capacity. It’s expected to run out around 2040, but for now Valdez still loads more than a tanker a day. Waldman writes that when North America’s largest oilfield was discovered in 1968, companies first considered extending the Alaska Railroad up to Deadhorse. But they would have needed 63 trains a day of 100 cars each. Trucks, cargo planes and even nuclear-powered submarines running under the Arctic ice were briefly considered. Since we had a bit of hand-wringing last week about a small earthquake near Fort Nelson that may or may not have been triggered by hydraulic fracturing, it’s worth noting that Trans-Alaska oil also causes noticeable tremors as it rushes down the Chugach Mountains to a sudden stop at Valdez. But those are American earthquakes, so no story there. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

SAANICH NEWS NEWS -- Wednesday, Wednesday, September September 2, 2, 2015 2015 SAANICH

LETTERS Development just a land grab With a broad sweep of the brush, Saanich council appears to be in favour of allowing a self-interested group of environmentalists to whitewash a policy that is essentially a land grab of private property within a 15-metre zone of the waterfront in what is being called ESAs, all in the name of protecting the flora and fauna of Saanich. Council was elected to protect the property and rights of the electorate, the legal owners, not to confiscate them. We all love parks, trails and natural areas of native plants, but not by taking away the rights of the very people council is supposed to represent by drastically devaluing their property and ability to sell at true value in the future and yet, not offering any compensation. My husband and I have been planting native species, encouraging birds and butterflies, discouraging the tangle of invasive foreign plants since 1972, and without any help from Saanich. And now after 43 years, it appears that the Saanich EDPA wish to control a 15-metre parcel along the shore thereby destroying our property’s value and leaving us as mere tenants on our own land without a whisper of financial compensation or tax relief. This act, if not illegal, is immoral, punitive and a devious form of bullying. Where will it end?

All property is at risk, not only waterfront. Saanich has written that staff are proposing amendments to areas that are not 100 per cent accurate and does not plan “on checking every boundary before including them.” What kind of rubbish is this and how is this supposed to promote the botanical environment? Perhaps the committee should be encouraged to do more research and check on possible legal implications before they try to bulldoze this through without a proper vote by those affected, the legal owners of properties that the EDPA deem “sensitive areas”. Was the ED Committee policy supposed to slip by unnoticed until too late for property owners to object? If Saanich is seriously seeking guidance, I suggest that council openly and honestly discusses the devaluation of property this policy will bring about and decide what form of compensation it is considering to homeowners, takes a vote of those affected and implements a no-charge disposal program to pick up invasive plants that, according to the Invasive Species Council of B.C., ”could cause the extinction of native species if left unchecked.” Mary Ross Saanich

Central system has benefits

Times Colonist, listening to CBC or for that matter any Canadian media, that they will not be satisfied until every Canadian hates Stephen Harper. We talk out of both sides of our mouths against hate crime, but we hear and see it everyday in today’s not “dirty” but “filthy” politics. Thank you for presenting two different viewpoints instead of the continued Hate Harper campaign we are witnessing all the time. I would encourage Saanich News to continue to set a good example, and hopefully other media sources will do the same. Well done. Wendy Campbell Saanich

Mr. Regier (Letters, Aug. 21) supports the notion that many smaller treatment plants are more cost effective to build than a central plant. He ignores the peer reviewed engineering analysis that shows the contrary. He also ignores the extensive network of piping systems required for a distributed system to provide the redundancies necessary to meet effluent discharge requirements and to ensure public health and freshwater resources are protected at all times. Mr. Regier also fails to mention life cycle costs and the excessive operating and maintenance costs for a distributed system. For instance, the central treatment plant in the CRD’s approved liquid waste management plant requires approximately 15 full-time staff to operate and maintain the facility. A distributed system with 10 smaller plants would require about five full-time employees per plant for operation and maintenance for a total of about 50 full-time employees. Over 75 years, the taxpayers could pay as much as $200 million more just for labour to operate and maintain a distributed system. The notion that a distributed sewage treatment system is more cost-effective than a central sewage treatment plant is a supposition with no solid foundation. Tony Brcic Saanich

Opposing views presented Thank you for including “Editorial unfair to Conservatives“ in the Letters section of the Saanich News after “Column shows Conservative bias.” It appears to me when reading the

Facebook not the problem I sat through last Monday night’s council meeting in its entirety. Councillors seemed most concerned about Saanich’s reputation. Fair enough. So, are there any other issues where Saanich’s reputation is questionable? I could come up with quite a list at this point. And they have nothing to do with a Facebook page, but rather with council’s actions at various times. During the public comment portion of the meeting, one woman got up and noted that the Spyware Scandal was by far more damaging to Saanich’s reputation, and asked how many of the abovenoted concerned councillors had apologized to the mayor over their comments and behaviour during that time, when the Privacy Commissioner completely vindicated the mayor’s concerns. The silence was deafening. I think that sums things up. Karen Harper Saanich

Life for the families and patients of Victoria Hospice is challenging to say the least. Time slows, and the tick of a clock can be enough to keep people up all night. Hearing that struck a chord with 11-year-old Jillian McCue of Saanich. The girl who recently spurred Saanich council to consider residential backyard goats (a pilot program is in the works) campaigned for the better part of the summer, and last week delivered a dozen new silent wall clocks to Hospice. “When she arrived at the Victoria Hospice reception desk she was greeted with smiles and hugs by the nurses and staff,” said dad Rich McCue. “[I’m] hopeful that patients and families will be able to rest more easily now that the ticking clocks are a thing of the past,” Jillian said. Jillian’s quest actually started at the beginning of the summer, said Rich, when she participated in the World Cup Soccer Camp’s Anneswer To Cancer soccer tournament. The event raises money and awareness for Victoria Hospice, and Jillian canvassed her neighbourhood with a goal of raising $1,000, or more. As a top fundraiser she was entered into a contest and

Her goal was to spend half the prize money on a video camera but also asked her mom Heather, a nurse who works in the Victoria Hospice unit, what she could spend the other half of the money on. Heather mentioned Hospice was in need of silent clocks as the ticking noises caused patient and family distress as they tried sleep. Jillian selected a silent clock from Best Buy’s website but could only afford six of the 12 clocks needed to replace them all. So, Jillian walked into the Uptown Best Buy (with her dad) and asked to speak to a manager. She explained the

situation and wondered if Best Buy would like to donate the remaining six. It took a couple minutes, and they said yes, Rich said. Jillian was too excited when the clocks were finally delivered to let them sit in her house. She encouraged her parents to drive her immediately to Royal Jubilee Hospital so she could deliver them. “I want to express my gratitude to Best Buy for their support and generosity,” Jillian said. “She sought, in a small and simple way, to improve one aspect of the stress that comes when facing life-limiting illness,” said Rich. reporter@saanichnews.com

This year’s Peoples Drug Mart Walk for ALS strikes close to home for one Saanich family. Not only will the Sept. 13 walk be held at the University of Victoria, but the Underdown family of Saanich has seen firsthand the debilitating effects of the disease. Arlene Underdown was diagnosed with ALS in the spring of 2014, and her husband Jerry and his daughter Shannon NgongoUnderdown will both be taking part in this year’s Walk for ALS with family and friends. “With Arlene now being an ALS patient, the least I could do to offer support was to participate in the ALS Walk in Victoria, as the event helps provide awareness of this disease, as well as provide the practical opportunity to raise much-needed funds,” said Jerry Underdown. Ngongo-Underdown sees the Sept. 13 walk as a tremendous “opportunity to allow our kids to feel like they can do something to help their Grammie out.” The Underwood family is encouraging Vancouver Island residents to come out and join them and donate to help fight amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, a neuromuscular disease with no known cure, cause or effective treatment. While an ALS diagnosis is a lifealtering event for a family, NgongoUnderdown said her mother’s diagnosis has served to bring the family closer together. “We are aware of the time left to spend with our mom and as a family together. Losing her will leave a big hole in our family; however, her love will always be with us.” She said dealing with a terminal illness brings the whole gamut of emotions, with moments of love, closeness, frustration, stress, tears and laughter. “But no matter the moment, hold close those around you and just be there, because these moments will be the basis for your

Five local dragon boat racers can call themselves the best in the world after bringing home eight gold medals during the 2015 World Dragon Boat Racing Championships earlier this month. Gorging Dragons paddlers Tom Arnold, Matthew Michaelis, Andree St. Denis, Darryl Draper and Patti Cross with the Vancouver Island Paddling Club helped lift Canada to the top during the world championships in Welland, Ont. from Aug. 19 to 23. “It’s an amazing opportunity to go and represent Canada and compete with the Canadian national team against the rest of the world,” said Arnold, who brought home eight gold medals with the senior A open and mixed teams. “To do that at home against some of the best paddlers in the world is pretty exciting.” The 12th annual races were held at the Welland International Flatwater Centre with teams from Russia, Germany, the Czech Republic, the U.S.,

The Canadian senior A mixed crew crosses the finish line in the 2,000-metre final during the World Dragon Boat Racing Championships in Welland, Ont. in August. Australia, Italy, Japan and Sweden among others. According to Arnold, once the team won the first 2,000-metre race, nothing could stop them. “The most nervous part is always the first race. You never really know how you stack up against the competition until you see the results of that first race,” he said, adding they won by a good margin. “So to go out and dominate the way that we did and win the gold medal, that’s the moment you get over those first nerves and you see we have something really special here.” He added the team was able to put together quickly, despite having little practice time together.

Patti Cross competed in the senior B women’s and mixed divisions and brought home eight gold medals, fulfilling a lifelong dream.

“It’s really hard to actually find words to describe it,” Cross said. “It was very tough work but it was very satisfying being able to paddle with

the strongest women in my age group in the country. It was very emotional in many ways to represent the country.” Arnold and Cross agreed their experience with the Gorging Dragons helped them prepare for the competition. The World Dragon Boat Racing Championships are held every two years.

Your School-age Child’s Eyes A good education for your child includes good schools, good teachers and good vision. Your child’s eyes are constantly in use in the classroom and at play. When his or her vision is not functioning properly, learning and participation in recreational activities will suffer. The following are the basic vision skills used at school: Near vision: The ability to see clearly and comfortably at 10-13 inches. Distance vision: the ability to see clearly and comfortably at arm’s reach and beyond. Binocular coordination: The ability to use both eyes together. Eye movement skills: The ability to aim the eyes accurately, move them smoothly across a page and shift them quickly and accurately from one object to another. Focusing skills: The ability to keep both eyes accurately focused at the proper distance to see clearly and to change focus quickly. Peripheral awareness: The ability to be aware of things located to the side while looking straight ahead. Eye/hand coordination: The ability to use the eyes and hands together. Disruption to any one of the above skills will cause your child’s eyes to work harder. This can lead to headaches, fatigue and other eyestrain related problems.

expedition, two ships — exploration vessel Nautilus and research vessel Thomas G. Thompson, will visit eight sites on ONC’s west coast observatories in the Salish Sea and Pacific Ocean. Hercules, which can be operated at depths of up to 4,000 metres, is equipped with highdefinition cameras, sensors, LED lights, and two manipulator arms so scientists can collect samples from the ocean floor. “It’s got a very sophisticated navigation system with that and acoustic sensors that watches the bottom and tells you the speed that you’re doing. You can get very good navigation without any outside references at all,” said Jim Newman, who built Hercules. On the expedition, Hercules and Argus, another ROV, will be controlled by pilots and used to install high-tech systems to measure underwater landslides, microphones to detect whales and understand ship noise, sensors to measure how offshore gas hydrates change as climate changes, and a tsunami meter to

better predict coastal flooding. “They work in tandem. Argus sits right above Hercules in the water and then they’re tethered together and it’s all fibre optics,” said expedition leader Allison Fundis. Hercules can stay down for almost three days and provides realtime video streams of the ocean abyss. “It’s very exciting the technology that allows you to explore more than ever before and spend time with your family,” said Robert Ballard, owner of Nautilus and president of the Ocean Exploration Trust. Though he won’t be travelling with the expedition, Ballard said he’ll be watching the feed from home and is excited about what the 50-member team might discover. “People ask what you’re going to discover next, but you have no idea. If we knew — it wouldn’t be a discovery,” said Ballard, who discovered the RMS Titanic in 1985. To watch the realtime feed from Hercules, visit nautiluslive.org or oceannetworks.ca.

Save-on-Foods’ celebrates with 100th anniversary Travelling Road Show

The Overwaitea Food Group and Save-On-Foods rolled 100 years of history to the Fort & Foul Bay Save-On-Foods location Friday as it wrapped up its 100-day Travelling Road Show. The innovative travelling display is designed to share the B.C. company’s 100year history using information graphics, museum displays, in-store events and even a 1915 Model-T Ford. Store managers from each of the Victoria Save-On-Foods gathered at the Fort & Foul Bay location Friday afternoon to celebrate with shoppers, suppliers and area residents. Guests enjoyed a great day filled with live entertainment, vendor demos, a hot dog sale benefiting BC Children’s Hospital and lots of fun for the entire family. “It’s great to be a part of a company that has cared about its customers for the past 100 years and this Road Show allows us to really showcase how we’ve continued to adapt to our customers’ changing needs through the decades,” says Darrell Jones, Save-On-Foods President. “We’re thrilled to have been able to welcome the community to come and celebrate this milestone with us and we can’t wait to be around to serve them for the next 100 years and beyond!”

Communities struggling to cope with addiction and mental illness are near the head of the line for their annual meetings with Premier Christy Clark and the provincial cabinet. A plea for integrated treatment services to take some of the load from police and hospital emergency rooms is among the main resolutions for the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver Sept. 21-25. B.C. communities are dealing with camps of homeless drug addicts, property crime driven by addiction and violence between drug gangs. The B.C. Health Ministry recently announced a program to train and equip front-line hospital staff to deal with

violent patients in emergency. Sponsored by Delta, the resolution says local governments have made repeated requests for help “without seeing any improvements in services or resources.” It calls for integrated health and psychiatric care, criminal justice reform and access to affordable housing. Maple Ridge has two resolutions dealing with housing. One calls for Ottawa to maintain rent subsidy funding for co-operative housing developments, whose contracts are expiring over the next five years. The other suggests federal incentives for developers to choose purpose-built rental housing, rather than condominiums and other housing for sale. Vancouver, where housing costs have spiralled beyond the means of many, wants the province to support rental housing and take action to reduce real estate speculation. The Fraser Valley Regional District’s resolution on shelter allowances and rent subsidies notes that average rent for a

one-bedroom apartment in B.C. is $953, and the provincial shelter assistance rate for an employable single parent is $375, unchanged since 2007. Other resolutions: • The Central Okanagan Regional District wants local government authority to lower highway speed limits passing through rural communities and neighbourhoods. Its resolution says the Transportation Ministry’s decision to raise speed limits to 100 km/h on some highways last year is raising safety concerns. • Oak Bay is the latest community to seek federal and provincial help to manage deer and other wildlife populations, after grappling with its own deer kill effort. • Port Moody is calling on BC Hydro to keep the Burrard Thermal gas-fired generating station operational as a backup source of power, rather than shut it down next year. The resolution says standby operation would cost $20 million a year, compared to $55 million paid to keep a smaller gas-fired plant on standby near Campbell River.

Addition set to open at St. George’s Anglican Church Travis Paterson News Staff

Cadboro Bay’s historic St. George’s Anglican Church is in the final touches of its $1.2 million narthex addition. A grand opening to celebrate the narthex, which is church-speak for an entrance or welcome area, is set for Sept. 13.

That morning members of the church will also lay the final cornerstone, part of a ceremonial blessing and dedication by visiting Bishop Logan McMenamie. The narthex is a large, bright welcoming space located in front of the sanctuary and its uses are multifaceted. It will serve for a multiple of congregational and community events, such as musical performances, coffee and conversation groups, meetings, classes or

lectures, and special social occasions. It also adds an outdoor patio under a shady tree, as well as a meeting space, a small kitchen and a new set of accessible washrooms. When construction started back in January workers discovered a time capsule behind the former cornerstone, laid April 21, 1951, when the previous church building was completed. Inside was a glass bottle with the front page of the Victoria Daily Times, two church bulletins and an assortment of coins. Sixty-four years later, St. George’s will place an updated time capsule behind the new cornerstone. The church’s programs continue to grow and include groups for children, youth university students and adults. Weekly activities range from charitable outreach and volunteering, spiritual growth ministries, social events and educational opportunities. The Sept. 13 ceremony is at 10 a.m. The church will open its doors again on Sept. 19 for a community open house and barbecue at 11 a.m. The public is invited to attend both events at the church located at 3909 St. George’s Lane.
