Youngster’s interest is out of this world Saanich student proposes stellar name for exoplanet Jacob Zinn News Staff

Thirty-four light-years away, in the Gemini constellation, there is an exoplanet that revolves around the orange giant star Pollux that has almost three times the mass of Jupiter. Its scientific name is Beta Geminorum b, but a 10-year-old from Saanich is in the running to give the star-circling globe a new name – one with a better ring to it. Alexander Mulley has been shortlisted to rename the exoplanet (a planet that orbits a star other than the sun) as part of a contest by the International Astronomical Union seeking proper names for 20 exoplanets. It’s the opportunity of a lifetime for the Grade 6 Maria Montessori Academy student, whose interest in space started before he could read. “I think we bought his first solar system when he was probably 18 months young. He could barely talk and he could say the planets,” said Alexander’s mom, Kelli. Alexander found out about the IAU competition through an ad in National Geographic – but there was a catch. “We went to the website and found out that you had to be an organization, an astronomical

The 10-yearold from Saanich is in the running to name the exoplanet through a contest by the International Astronomical Union - but he needs your votes. organization, to suggest a name,” said Kelli. “You couldn’t suggest it as an individual.” “We tried to enter with my astronomy club,” noted Alexander, but the rules required submissions to come from official

organizations. With the deadline approaching, Alexander joined the Victoria chapter of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada as a youth member, and luckily, the group had not submitted an

entry for the competition. “At that point, I think he had 13 different names,” said Kelli. “Fourteen,” corrected Alexander. “He found out you could only submit one name for one of these OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY, 11-12:30 pm

20 systems, and they agreed to submit it on his behalf,” said Kelli. “We were really right on the deadline – actually a little past the deadline, but they had extended it because of a website glitch. We really got it in there under the wire.” Out of his 14 suggestions, Alexander picked Ourea, a nod to Greek mythology which fell in line with the IAU’s request for a Greek name. “Most of the planets except Earth are named after Greek gods and famous people in Greek history, and the Ourea were the primeval gods of the mountains,” said Alexander, though he noted the name may be more fitting for the Earth’s only natural satellite. “When I was nine, I knew there was a very slight chance, but I wanted to name the moon Ourea because a) the moon has a lot of mountains, and b) its name is the moon and there are a bunch of moons in the solar system.” Naming an exoplanet is just the next step in Alexander’s lifelong pursuit of all things out of this world. He was seemingly destined to study space, and he already knows what astronomical field he’d like to work in when he grows up. “Astrophysics, specifically,” he said without hesitation. Voting is open until Oct. 31, with a limit of one vote per electronic device per exoplanet. To vote for Alexander, go to nameexoworlds.iau.org/ systems/104 and scroll down to Ourea, then click “vote.”

From his seat in Saanich’s radio control room, deputy emergency radio co-ordinator Dom Kapac can quickly bounce a radio call off the district’s repeater on top of Mount Douglas as far as Duncan. The repeater is a key tool for the Saanich Emergency Program, as it allows the amateur radio network to reach as far as Duncan. “It runs on batteries which is pretty important,” says Kapac, who works across the street in IT security for B.C. Assessment at Uptown. “In a time of disaster we have to anticipate most communications, Internet, will go down.” Kapac started volunteering with the Emergency Radio Communications team in 2008, when he was recruited by a fellow amateur radio operator. He’s since become a key figure in Saanich’s disaster response plans. But more volunteers are needed, as the average life is about two to three years, said Saanich Fire’s emergency program officer, Capt. Brock Henson. On Sept. 10, the Saanich Emergency Program is hosting a volunteer information session, and are seeking to add to the

Travis Paterson/News Staff

Seven-year volunteer Dom Kapac, in the radio control room under the Saanich Fire department at the municipal hall, is a deputy emergency radio co-ordinator with the Saanich Emergency Program. 111-strong team of volunteers in all three areas: ground search and rescue, emergency social services and radio communications. “One volunteer has been there 31 years. We have volunteers who’ve been with us for a long time but we are always recruiting and, to be blunt, we can’t have too many volunteers, especially in emergency social services,” Henson said. In 2010 Henson twice visited

Christchurch, New Zealand, to learn and then work in the aftermath of that region’s two debilitating earthquakes. It struck him how similar Christchurch’s infrastructure is to Greater Victoria. “No matter how much you prepare, a disaster is still a disaster. We can’t be ready for everything, we do the best with the resources we have,” Henson said.

So far there’s been four callouts for Saanich’s emergency social services in 2015, helping residents or families who were displaced by fire. In general, ESS provides assistance to those displaced by major emergency (house fire) by providing temporary food and lodging. They’re also trained to work in SEP’s reception centres (which are at recreation centres) during a large emergency.

Radio operators are trained to set up and connect with disaster call centres at the local rec centres as well as deployed search and rescue teams. There are enough volunteer opportunities to fit just about anyone as long as they’re 19 or older, Henson said. The Sept. 10 volunteer info session is at Gordon Head Rec Centre at 7 p.m. for emergency social services and radio communications. For questions or to RSVP call 250-475-7140, or email sep@saanich.ca. reporter@saanichnews.com

Tinfoil hats attached to Elizabeth May’s campaign signs Jacob Zinn News Staff

Elizabeth May’s campaign has been foiled – tinfoiled, that is. At least five of May’s campaign signs have been vandalized with tinfoil hats stapled on top of the Saanich Gulf Islands MP’s head. Supporters of the incumbent Green Party candidate were quick to remove the hats, the latest in a rash of political mischief. “If you’ve ever heard Elizabeth May in the debates, I think anyone would realize that she’s far from a tinfoil hat,” said Frances Litman, Green Party candidate for Esquimalt Saanich Sooke. “It’s a bit surprising that people would go that far, but I think that’s uneducated emoting.” Litman said it’s typical for election signs to get vandalized before the polls open, noting she’s seen many signs from other parties defaced recently. She said many instances of signs being knocked down can usually be attributed to teenage troublemakers.

You’re Invited!

But in regard to the tinfoil hats, Green Party volunteer co-ordinator Catherine Novak said politically targeted vandalism is a sign that the party is “playing with the big boys.” “People are actually seeing us as a threat… and if people feel threatened, sometimes they act out in silly ways,” she said. Const. Niwad Akbar said the Saanich Police Department is investigating the acts of vandalism, though they don’t have a lot of information to go off of at this point. “Every year during election time, these signs get torn down,” he said. “From a police point of view, we take it as a mischief file and we investigate it as such.” While the tinfoil hats are a new form of vandalism, Akbar declined to speculate if they are a political statement. “It could be a number of things – we don’t know what’s going through the person’s head when they do it,” he said. “It could just be somebody thinking that they’re being funny.” jacob.zinn@saanichnews.com

“Residents in the area have identified issues with these trees for quite a while,” Henderson said. “Before we undertook the project, we wanted to be sure replacement was the best course of action and that a replanting plan was developed that would provide long-term value to the neighbourhood.” Last fall the District of Saanich consulted with an independent

arborist who assessed the condition and health of the trees along Barrie Road. The assessment was shared with the Gordon Head Residents Association, BC Hydro and bordering property owners. Both deciduous and coniferous trees will be planted: Alaskan seeping cypress, Bruns Serbian spruce, flame amur maple, Japanese katsura,

goldenrain, Vanessa Persian ironwood, hinoki false cypress, vanderwolf limber pine, thundercloud flowering plum (fruitless variety) and honey locust frisia. Signs will be erected on the Barrie Road corridor explaining the replanting plan. Removal and stump grinding began Sept. 1 and will last approximately three weeks, in partnership with BC Hydro.

He stressed that basic skills of reading, writing and arithmetic

How their gardens do grow Dan Ebenal News Staff

A visit to some of Victoria’s most gifted green thumbs will offer more than just food for thought. At least that’s the hope of Elizabeth Vibert, one of the organizers of the Urban Food Garden Tour. The Sept. 12 tour will lead participant through 14 home food gardens in Saanich, Victoria, Oak Bay and Esquimalt. “Our vision is for people who are either already interested in growing food at home or looking to learn how to grow food at home, it’s a chance for them to get into people’s actual home veggie gardens and see how it’s done,” said Vibert. While the tour does include Government House and a couple other public gardens, it’s primarily focused on gardens along the boulevards in front of homes or in small backyard plots. “We have some gardens on the tour that are practically self sustainable,” said Vibert. “We have a woman at one of the gardens, she produces 1,200 pounds of food a year in a small backyard plot.” She said the tour is part of the food security puzzle, showing people just how easy it is to grow healthy, sustainable food right outside their door. “To grow your own salad greens across

the year, to grow winter vegetables that you can harvest in the colder months, it’s pretty straightforward. Even just to grow a little of your own food, you can do that on containers on your balcony.” The self-guided tour runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with tickets costing $15. Tickets are available at Haliburton Farm, stands at Moss Street Market and the Hudson Public Market, through the website vicurbanfoodgardens.wix.com/tour or at the gardens on the day of the tour. “You can take whatever route you wish through whatever number of the 14 gardens you want. You get a map, which we’re going to post on our website,” said Vibert. “Some people might visit four or five gardens, which is still a deal at $15, while some might visit a dozen.” The tour is a fundraiser for the food box program at Haliburton Community Organic Farm. “The food boxes are going to be made available to low-income families through the Single Parent Resource Centre,” said Vibert, adding funds will go towards providing food boxes to lower-income families here in Victoria, with a portion going to a community garden in South Africa. editor@saanichnews.com

Gordon Head teen revels in her crowning achievement Dan Ebenal News Staff

Caylin Rutherford never pictured herself in a beauty pageant. But the Miss Teen Canada Globe Pageant proved to be a crowning moment for the Gordon Head teen. Rutherford, 17, was named first princess at the pageant held last month in Toronto, finishing as runner-up to Ontario’s Carly Wheelans who was named Miss Teen Canada Globe for 2015/16. The excitement built as Rutherford earned a spot in the final five contestants, and the list was narrowed down until only she and Wheelans remained on the stage. “It was really exciting. I could see my parents in the audience, they were holding hands and so excited,” said Rutherford, who wasn’t disappointed in finishing as runner-up. “It’s actually still a very big honour for me. The girl who won definitely deserved it so I wasn’t upset at all.” Rutherford had never given much thought to entering a pageant until one of last year’s Miss Teen Canada contestants approached her and asked if she would be interested. “It was something I haven’t ever

- Caylin Rutherford

tried and something that sounds pretty cool, so I said sure.” Rutherford filled out an application and answered a few questions during a telephone interview. The next day she received a call saying she would be representing B.C. at the pageant. “It was a very quick process. You go in there thinking, what the hell I’ll try. And the next day you’re like Oh, OK I guess I’m doing this now,” said the Mount Douglas graduate. She spent the year leading up to the pageant lining up sponsors, performing volunteer work and getting herself known throughout the community. By Aug. 6 the preparations were complete and Rutherford boarded a flight for Toronto. “The first week is basically pageant boot camp. They teach you how to walk, how to talk, how to answer questions. They give you the rundown on everything,” she said. “It really helps because a lot of girls like me have never

done a pageant before.” The first week ended with the regional competition, where Rutherford was crowned Miss Greater Victoria. The second week was nationals week – something Rutherford calls “the most fun you’ll have” – where she had a chance to relax and even take in a visit to Canada’s Wonderland. And being named first princess is just the beginning of a busy year for Rutherford. “Because I won a national roster title, I’m going to be sent to an international pageant,” she said, adding she doesn’t have the specifics yet on where and when the pageant will take place. She will also head back to Toronto next year to hand over her title. Rutherford will be pursuing a criminology degree at Vancouver Island University in the fall, and expects to be kept busy fulfilling her obligations as princess. “I’m moving to Nanaimo for school so it’s a little more difficult coming down to Victoria, but I’m going to try and do some events,” said Rutherford, who plans to take part in Paws for a Cause and other community events around Victoria “to help out in the community and use my title for good.” editor@saanichnews.com

There’s a lot of history in Saanich, and next Sunday offers a great opportunity to learn about the district’s heritage. On Sept. 13, the district is having its 30th annual Saanich Heritage Bus Tour & Tea, exploring some notable neighbourhoods and showcasing numerous buildings of historical prominence. The four-hour tour will be led by Ken Johnson, president of the Hallmark Heritage Society, in an air-conditioned coach. “It’s a wonderful Sunday afternoon excursion,” said archives supervisor Caroline Duncan. “It’s been a popular event in the municipality since 1986. “The purpose of the tour is to raise awareness of Saanich’s heritage. We pass by these buildings without really understanding the significance.” One of the notable stops on the tour is Hampton Hall, built in 1927 as the clubhouse for the Burnside Lawn Bowling Club. The clubhouse still operates out of the hall, and the club recently donated its historical records to the Saanich Archives. “All the minutes and scrapbook albums and photographs – we’ve just finished digitizing all of the photographs, and those are all now on our website,” said Duncan, noting they wanted to celebrate the transfer of records by visiting the hall. “We’ll be able to go inside the building, we’ll

see some old photos and trophies, and we’ll even have a chance to try lawn bowling.” Other stops include the Saanich War Memorial Health Centre, the Wilkinson Road jail, Saanich municipal hall – which is celebrating 50 years since its construction – and the Craigflower Schoolhouse, the oldest surviving school building in Western Canada and the oldest building in Saanich. Following the heritage sites, the tour will stop at the Cedar Hill Golf Club for afternoon tea and snacks. The tour departs Saanich Commonwealth Place at 12:30 p.m. and returns at 4:30 p.m. The cost of the tour is $34.50 and early registration is recommended as there are only 54 spots on the bus. To register, visit recreation.saanich.ca or through any Saanich recreation centre using the course code 685465.

Back to school brings a reminder for drivers As this year’s seemingly endless summer begins to wind down, the first signs of autumn are sure to be just around the corner. The first of those signs will make an appearance Tuesday morning as thousands of youngsters across Saanich and Vancouver Island head off for the first day of a new school year. And with those youngsters caught up in the excitement of seeing classmates again comes a reminder for motorists. Drivers are asked to use extra caution when heading off to work Tuesday morning. But that caution should continue beyond Tuesday morning. The 30 km-h school zone speed limit will be back in effect from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. And the caution should extend beyond just school zones. Drivers are advised to leave a little extra time to reach their destination so they can slow down to keep an eye out for youngsters darting into the road. And if you see a vehicle stopped in front of you or the lane beside you, be prepared to stop as they may be yielding for a young pedestrian. Parents dropping off children in a school zone should always allow them to exit onto the sidewalk side of the vehicle and never allow a child to cross midblock. Parents should also speak with younger children about the rules of the road. Children should cross at intersections that have a pedestrian crossing light or marked crosswalk wherever possible. It is safer to walk on the inside edge of the sidewalk, away from traffic, and to walk facing traffic if there is no sidewalk so drivers are better able to see you. Police in Saanich and across the province will again be out to enforce the school speed zones, with tickets ranging from $196 to $253, along with three penalty points. But a momentary lapse in judgment on the part of a driver can carry a far steeper cost, one that could haunt them for years to come. What do you think?

Public shut out of Glendenning parking ban In a recent note to the Saanich Fire chief, I queried as to whether the department had undertaken any citizen outreach before lending its support to the permanent parking ban on Glendenning Road. Due to the significant impairment/ disruption for the substantial number of visitors who use the south access to Mt. Doug Park, it would seem that communication/interaction with park users would be a necessity. In September 2013, the administration issued a “public participation” policy, to guide public participation activities by the district. (The policy can be found at: saanich.ca/living/about/news/2014/ documents/public-participation.pdf) The policy begins, “The District of Saanich believes that decisions are improved by engaging citizens and other stakeholder groups. The district is committed to undertaking public participation on issues that affect citizens’ lives and their district.” The guiding principles are: inclusiveness, transparency, access, respect and honesty. No, seriously. And yet, to my knowledge, the fire department process did not include any engagement with citizens, including park users, prior to offering its support for the permanent ban on parking on

Glendenning Road. As a result, it would appear that the department failed to comply with both the letter and the spirit of the district’s own public participation policy. Of course, the other possibility is that the administration never truly committed itself to the policy, and, as a result, departments feel free to ignore the policy without any fear of consequence or recrimination. Either way, residents in general, and park users in specific, were excluded from the process. In the district’s 2012 citizens survey, 60 per cent of respondents believed that the district failed to listen to its own citizens. And in 2015, that’s no longer good enough. Dave Poje Saanich

Groups must share rec space The argument over tennis vs. pickle ball is ridiculous. Community recreational facilities belong to everyone – not one user group.

things to spend our money on: better education for our children, medical care, improved infrastructure, and the list goes on. The difference in net height is only two inches. This is a game, not engineering, play with what you got. Noise? Recreation facilities are noisy by nature. It is the sound of a health community. Every court should have lines for both games, the court time should be divided evenly and we should all remember what we learned in kindergarten – be nice, be fair and share your toys.

After a slow start to last season, the Saanich Braves believe the rebuild is over, and the team is set to hit the ground running. That sentiment was echoed from coach to captain as Braves’ training camp kicked off particularly late, Monday afternoon (Aug. 31) at Pearkes Arena. The Braves start the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League season with a home-and-home series versus the Peninsula Panthers. Game 1 goes tonight, 7:30 p.m. at Panorama Centre, followed by the Braves home opener, a rare Saturday night game at Pearkes, 5:30 p.m. on Saturday. With a roster built around a core of third-year Braves, only a handful of tryouts have been invited to compete for the few coveted spots on this year’s roster. “It’s a late start to training camp but I don’t feel a need to carry a massive training camp,” said coach Brad Cook. The coach also said the team is finally at the end of a rebuild that took 18 months. It dates back to the 201213 season, when the team finished second overall and was built around league-MVP Tyler Jones, only to lose him in the first round. “People don’t realize, it takes longer than you expect,” Cook said. “We started clicking in January last year and finished strong.” New captain Jack Rachwalski has been part of the rebuild and is ready to move into the win column for his final season in junior. Last season the Braves went without a win in the first 10 games, but then managed to move up the standings with 17 wins over the 48-game season. It was enough to pass the Kerry Park Islanders and finish third in the competitive South Division behind the Westshore Wolves (29 wins) and Victoria Cougars (42 wins). It was the Wolves who eventually undid the Braves in the first round of the playoffs. The best-of-seven series ended with four straight overtime games. “That was tough to swallow, but it’s only motivation to put together a strong start,” Rachwalski added. Cook agreed. “We deserve it. The kids have been patient,” he said. Cook added that choosing Rachwalski was a no-brainer. The 19-year-old is in his final year of junior, one of six Braves already committed for their 20-year-old season. “Rachwalski’s always been a

Should he return, Horvath will once again wear an A as assistant captain. So will Landon Walters, one of two 20-year-old defencemen acquired by Cook for this year. Walters comes from Campbell River and Quinlan Moore from Nanaimo. Both goalies, Brandon Ward and Riley Mathieson, are coming back, though Cook expects to lose Mathieson, who is pursuing the next level. Younger players, such as Drew Coughlin and Shawn Strange, are showing well at BCHL and Western Hockey

League tryouts. Strange, a Saanich minor player only 15 years old, made it to main camp for the Kamloops Blazers. He will earn some affiliate playing time with the Braves this year though he could end up jumping right into the lineup. It’s the strong group of returning players, and an “outstanding” coaching staff, that have Cook looking forward to 2015-16. Former goalie Bowman Rutledge comes back as an assistant coach and goalie coach. “He’s a guy that’s been there and done it, one of the hardest working.” Sam McMullen, a five-yearveteran of the league, returns as an assistant coach and video coach after putting up 100 points for the Cougars last year. Former Victoria Salsa and NCAA Div. 1 player Shawn Weaver will come on as an assistant coach and strength and conditioning coach. “This year should be a fun year,” Rachwalski said. reporter@saanichnews.com

seminar scheduled for next month will provide a lot of the answers for those questioning whether now’s the right time to downsize from their current home. Joanne Brodersen will host the seminar alongside Julie Cookson and Ali Ezletni from RBC on Oct. 16 from 12:30 to 2:30 pm. at the RBC main branch. For more information on the seminar, visit joannebrodersen.com. Brodersen was born and raised in Victoria, which provides her with an intimate knowledge of the city and a vast network of connections she’s built over the years. “I hold a lot of value on trust, and enjoy building quality relationships with all of my clients,” she said, adding she enjoys meeting new people and building strong relationships with clients and colleagues. “I enjoy the excitement that my clients experience when they find the right home. I enjoy the positive

feedback I receive from clients, and the comfort they receive from working with someone they trust.” Brodersen began her career with DFH Real Estate six years ago in the midst of a dropping market. “Through hard word and determination, I was able to work my way up to one of the top 10 producers in the office. Working for DFH has been a very positive experience, but I have decided it was time to make a career move, by switching to Re/Max Camosun.” When not busy working in real estate, Brodersen volunteers as a mentor for 1Up Single Parent Resource Centre. She is also one of the founders of 100+ Real Estate Agents Who Care, an organization dedicated to supporting local charities with an emphasis on “homefulness.” Brodersen also served as a mentor for new realtors at DFH and volunteered at the office’s Child Find Clinic every year.

see around domestic violence prevention has a fundamental vernacular rift between what is politically correct speech and the realistic language of violence.” It should be noted that the Saanichraised Shakespearian actor can switch from purple to proper prose in a heartbeat. His vocabulary is steeped from academia, and doesn’t just draw from the locker room. The book, and the performance tour that goes with it, fall under the self-help genre, but are delivered with bold humour and crude satire. The goal is to encourage male emotional health and reduce domestic violence. Levis is planning a performance tour of Canadian universities called Men’s Health Week to support the book. On Tuesday, he’ll host a table in UVic’s Student Union Building with his new Consent Score Card beer coasters designed to educate young adults on collaborative sexual consent. He draws from his experience with the Victoria Shakespeare Festival, from stand-up comedy gigs, and from time spent in the mental health industry including working in suicide intervention. As silly as it sounds, Dick Loss Prevention Volume 1 is actually the first step in a “master plan.” Levis’ true intention is to create affordable housing through community co-operatives. When Levis (a Claremont secondary grad) finished at the University of Victoria in 2011 he won a national business

award for his entrepreneurial models on co-operative housing. If it sounds like there’s a link missing here, there isn’t, he explains. Co-operative housing is at a standstill as the 30-year federal subsidy agreements are currently expiring across the country. While there are campaigns underway to stabilize the future of co-operative housing in B.C. and Canada, Levis is taking another tack. “I learned that co-operative housing will not work unless the market has been educated in conflict resolution.” So Levis is determined to educate the market, which, he says, is largely made up of people who want to own but are pushed out by high prices. This includes young males who are all likely candidates to become the male figure in a family, or at least in a relationship. “I want to help create communities that are economically collaborative,” Levis says. “The book focuses on how men can de-escalate their own dramas, use communication to alleviate their own discomfort and create a more self-accepting masculine culture, [thereby] leading to reduced levels of strife and a healthier male experience,” he says. Levis successfully crowd funded more than $7,000 to fund his book and is already editing Volume II of the Dick Loss Prevention series. Visit Dick Loss Prevention on Facebook for more information.

Performance car dream track on track for spring It’s what B.C. performance car enthusiasts have dreamed about for years – a first class, high-speed track. And that dream will become a reality next spring with the opening of the Vancouver Island Motorsport Resort, just north of Duncan, in the picturesque Cowichan Valley, less than an hour from Victoria. The centre, developed by the Island-based GAIN Dealer Group, promises up to 350 driving days a year, thanks to the area’s temperate climate. “This is not aimed just at people with very expensive, new high performance cars,” explains GAIN chief executive officer The centre, Peter Trzewik, who expects to announce membership details developed by the within a month. Island-based GAIN “We hope to see people with Dealer Group older model cars, who want to get out on a good track. We promises members could sell out the membership up to 350 driving immediately overseas but days a year, thanks to instead we are encouraging the area’s temperate Canadians and people from over the border in Seattle and climate. Portland. It’s important that this track is used daily.” Keith Morgan And for around half of each month, Trzewick expects to see new car product launches, driving school courses and community charity galas and events. The circuit, designed by internationally renowned Tilke GmbH & Co, will provide the novice an opportunity to gain proficiency, while challenging the more accomplished drivers. Phase One comprises 19 corners and elevation changes of more than 25 metres, with a length of 2.3 kilometres. Speeds of up to 200 km/h will be possible on the highspeed sectors of the circuit in the first phase. When Phase Two is completed likely a couple years later, a total of 4.21 kilometres of track will be available

‘‘

’’

Trzewik says driver safety is a priority so there are stateof-the-art run-off areas providing an opportunity to make a correction, with tire barriers and guard rails in reserve, enhancing the protection of both car and driver. Members travelling to Vancouver Island will be able to choose the convenience of leaving their performance car at the VIMR in a secure and temperature-controlled storage facility. With this add-on option, cars stored at the resort will be maintained to track-ready condition by specialists, providing the member full use of their car when their schedule allows, with minimal personal effort for repair and maintenance. Factory trained technicians representing Alfa Romeo, Audi S-Line, BMW M, Mercedes-Benz AMG, MINI JCW,

and Porsche will be available to provide the expertise in keeping modern track cars in perfect running condition. Repairs and maintenance will be completed in the time between member visits to maximize their time driving. Members who enjoy vintage sports and racing cars will be able to have their cars maintained and repaired by Rudi & Company, a world-renowned specialist in the restoration and repair of the world’s great cars. Assistance with the delivery of a member’s car to the resort may also be arranged with trusted transportation partners. A 14,500 square foot clubhouse will offer a complete range of services to its members and house a restaurant featuring the very best of Vancouver Island ingredients. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.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!”

Midget Ice Hawks perched for Saanich run Jennifer Blyth Black Press

Due to low numbers, Victoria Minor Hockey Association will not run a midget rep program this year, sending its Oak Bay, Victoria and Esquimalt players to neighbouring Saanich Minor Hockey instead. It’s not simply a matter of demographics, but also that more choices are available to those 15- to 17-year-old players today. “There has been a lot of opportunity for midget-age players to go to academies (and) major midget,” said Chris Atchison, Victoria Minor Hockey president. The change does not affect the midget recreational players or rep players at the younger levels, who will continue to skate with the Victoria Ice Hawks, Atchison said, noting about 15 players are affected. “Victoria is just so appreciative of what Saanich has done,” he said. Karen Strange, Saanich Minor Hockey vice-president of administration, welcomed the new families to the association’s midget rep program. “Saanich Minor Hockey is proud to be working with Victoria Minor Hockey in order to provide opportunity for midget rep players in our greater community. We are excited about the upcoming

season and welcome the players and their families to SMHA.” The boost in numbers pushes Saanich from Tier 2 to Tier 1 status at the midget level, along with other Island associations with a larger player base to draw from, such as Juan de Fuca, Nanaimo and the Comox Valley. Discussions have been going on in the background for several years between Victoria, the Victoria Racquet Club and Saanich, Atchison said. When the Racquet Club collapsed its midget program last year, some players went to Victoria and others to Saanich. “This is something I do think the executive at Saanich and the executive at Victoria have talked about for a number of years and we think it’s a necessary evolution of minor hockey in the south (Island),” Atchison said, noting he doesn’t see any change coming for either association at the recreational level, where both have healthy numbers of players who enjoy playing the game. It’s only at the elite or competitive level where the draw on players has created challenges. Over the years, Victoria had also accepted a number of Saanich players who needed a place to play because Saanich was full. This year, some of those players opted to go back to

Saanich or play elsewhere, leaving Victoria without enough players to form a midget rep team. Not wanting to leave the remaining players without a place to play competitive hockey, “we looked at ways to co-operate with Saanich.” While preliminary discussions had also included the possibilities of working with other local organizations, such as Juan de Fuca and Peninsula minor hockey associations, the logistics of getting Oak Bay or Victoria players to those locations could prove challenging for families. “Every single one of our families came back to us and said we hope it’s Saanich, otherwise we don’t know what’s going to happen,” Atchison said, Saanich will run three competitive teams at the midget level from its home at Pearkes Recreation Centre, however, Victoria will also be providing ice time through its rinks at Oak Bay, Save-onFoods and Archie Browning recreation centres, Atchison said. Rep assessments for the merged group of midget players began last week. Victoria players who try out for the Saanich rep teams but are released from the program must return to the Ice Hawks, said Atchison.

Celebrate LABOUR DAY Picnic moves to Legislature lawn

he lawn of the B.C. Legislature will be packed with families celebrating Labour Day, Sept. 7. Victoria Labour Council’s 27th annual Labour Day Celebration includes musical entertainment from The Timebenders plus food and beverages and lots of entertainment for the children. The Timebenders’ exhilarating show covers almost every musical genre from the vocally-charged harmonies of the ‘50s, the British Invasion, California and Motown sound of the ‘60s, Glam Rock and Disco beats of the ‘70s, the New Wave of the ‘80s, Divas of the ‘90s and even some surprises from this past decade and hits of today. Bring along a blanket or lawn chair and enjoy the music and camaraderie of friends and coworkers. As always, the Victoria Labour Council welcomes donations to offset the cost of holding the celebration. Unions and community allies will be invited to set up displays. Monday, Sept. 7 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the B.C. Legislature Lawn.

Victoria News file

BCGEU member Pam Desjardine with dogs, Sissy and Spirit, listen to the live music at the annual Labour Day picnic. The event features information booths, family activities, entertainment and lunch for the kids. Desjardine says she never misses the picinic rain or shine because she (and the dogs) enjoy the music. This year’s picnic is on the lawn of the B.C. Legislature and includes music from the Timebenders.

Seminar prepares buyers for condo life Before You Buy A Condo workshop set for Sept. 15 Jennifer Blyth Black Press

Whether you’re a first-time buyer looking for a more affordable way to enter the housing market or a homeowner wanting to downsize but stay in your neighbourhood, a condominium or townhouse can be a good alternative to a singlefamily home. However, for first-time condominium buyers, it also pays to understand the unique features of condominium living. “A condo is an affordable way to get into the market, but no matter what neighbourhood you’re looking for, you need to know what you’re getting into,” says Sandy Wagner, president of the non-profit Vancouver Island Strata Owners Association. The association is offering a special workshop Sept. 15 specifically geared to those thinking of buying a condominium or townhouse strata property. “Our aim is to promote strata living as a desirable way of life – but it isn’t for everyone,” Wagner explains. “If it’s not the right fit for you, wouldn’t you rather find that out before you buy?” Those who are first-time homebuyers might not realize the unique ins and outs of condo living. The same is true of older people who have lived for years in their own single-family home with the freedom to do as they wish, more or less. “In a condo, you have to go by a democratic process,” Wagner notes. “(Prospective buyers) need to

Beginning at 6:30 p.m. at the Comfort Inn, 3020 Blanshard St., the seminar covers everything prospective buyers need to know. “Some people who don’t understand the realities of strata life may become unhappy condo

owners,” Wagner says. “We feel it’s important to give them the facts they need to make the decision to purchase – or not to purchase – a condo.” Potential purchasers who have the necessary information can make informed decisions, she adds. “They will choose a particular strata for the right reasons. They’ll become positive owners who will make a constructive and effective contribution to their condo community.” Among the topics covered by the workshop are: • the importance of reading

condo documents and understanding a strata plan; • strata management, insurance and bylaws; • monthly fees and what they cover; • owner duties, including repairs; • a real estate agent’s responsibilities. Questions will be answered by experienced representatives from the Vancouver Island Strata Owners Association.
