Council opens debate on environmental area Travis Paterson News Staff

The next step in the future of the Environmental Development Permit Area in Saanich is expected to take shape at Saanich council on Monday.

A report on the EDPA will go before council on Monday as a property owner adjacent north of McKenzie Avenue near Christmas Hill looks to have the EDPA ruling lifted from their property.

The topic has been controversial as some believe the protective covenants of the EDPA are excessive and hypocritical, including the property owner of 4007 and 4011 Rainbow St. The session is therefore expected to be well attended as the ruling could have repercussions on how Saanich moves forward with other demands from property owners in the EDPA. The EDPA was approved by council in March 2012 and relies on aerial maps of sensitive ecosystems – created by

the federal and provincial governments in the 1990s. It restricts development in certain pockets of Saanich with a goal of protecting the few remaining areas of Garry oak and associated ecosystems.

Norman Webb owns the 1.3-acre property and discovered he was subject to EDPA restrictions while planning to sell his home two years ago. Back in February, Webb and his niece Anita Bull hired registered professional biologist Ted Lea to assess the property. Lea was previously recognized by

the Garry Oak Ecosystems and Recovery Team for his work mapping the present and historic Garry oak ecosystems in Greater Victoria and the Saanich Peninsula.

But even though Lea concluded no such ecosystem was present, Saanich said several Garry oak trees on the property meant the land would remain within the EDPA, Bull told the Saanich News.

Bridge taking Saanich man to India Game’s best heading to world championships Jacob Zinn News Staff

As a teenager, Michael Roche was notorious for staying out late playing billiards.

Then he started playing bridge and things changed. Slightly.

“My parents really didn’t appreciate I was coming home from the pool hall at one o’clock in the morning, especially on school nights,” he said. “I got sort of pushed into bridge, and after awhile, they found out I was coming home at one o’clock in the morning from the bridge club instead of the pool hall.”

Little did his parents know, Roche would go on to represent Canada in 10 world championships for the tricktaking card game. The Saanich resident is headed to India to compete in the seniors division at the 42nd World Bridge Teams Championships, bringing that number to 11.

“I don’t play any differently than I do at the local club or with my friends online,” said Roche.

“I’m just trying my hardest

Jacob Zinn/News Staff

Michael Roche is headed to his 11th World Bridge Teams Championships which begin this weekend in India, playing on Team Canada 13 cards at a time. at every hand and using my memories and my skill level to try to get the best result possible on every board.”

Roche has played bridge for the better part of 50 years, and in that time, he’s made – and learned from – a lot of mistakes.

“To be a good player, you have to make lots of mistakes. If that’s the case, I should be the greatest

player ever because I’ve made them all. The secret is not to make them twice.

“There are so many possibilities of hand types and right and wrong steps along the way, and you just have to keep exploring those paths and don’t quit.”

Sticking to it has paid off for Roche, who has competed at the

world championships in such places as China, the Netherlands, France, Albuquerque and Tunisia.

With this year’s competition in the northeast city of Chennai, Roche is preparing for the other 18 teams in the running.

“Everybody has the same tools.

Everybody gets to start off with the same 13 cards and take it from there and try to achieve the

highest score,” he said. “They’re trying their hardest, they’re doing what’s best for them. It’s a little bit like boxing: They’re punching, we’re counterpunching. They’re relaxed, we move in for the kill.

Thrust and parry.”

Roche said Canada ranks somewhere in the middle for bridge across the globe. While Team Canada has had some standout performances – including a silver finish at the 1996 games in Beijing – Roche said it’s a challenge to win at this level.

Countries like the U.S. have larger populations of bridge players, some of whom are professionals at the game, while Canadians are predominantly part-time, amateur players.

“We can hold our own with them, but over the long run, they have a big advantage on us,” he said.

Nonetheless, Roche is confident in this year’s team, which is largely made up of fellow bridge players he’s known for 40 years.

“We have a good team – we’re all past champions from the open division,” he said. “It’s been a tremendous hobby. It’s had its glory days – I’ve come first, I’ve come last – but I’m resilient.

“Every hand is a new challenge, and that’s what keeps us going.”

Owner wants property near Christmas Hill removed from EDPA Continued from Page A1

Bull is also part of the newly formed Saanich Citizens for a Responsible EDPA, which presented the organization’s concerns to Saanich council in May. The news of the EDPA has stirred mixed responses as some homeowners said they were unaware their property fell within the “EDPA atlas,” though Saanich did send letters to affected owners and issue public

service announcements in 2013.

“The bylaw has good [intentions], it’s just not being implemented correctly,” Lea said.

In some cases the covenants can limit construction and subdivision of properties.

Adriane Pollard, Saanich’s manager of environmental services, said there is a lot of misinformation and that it’s best if homeowners talk to Saanich on a case-bycase basis.

To engage affected residents Saanich

is hosting a second drop-in open house for the EDPA at Cedar Hill Rec Centre on Saturday, Oct. 3. As for Monday, Saanich staff prepared a report with three options for council to consider.

Staff’s recommendation is Option 1, denying the removal of the property from the EDPA. It cites the absence of a development plan. Option 2 is to convert areas of the property to “buffer” which could allow for “potential sensitive

development,” which again is limiting.

Option 3 is to remove the properties from the EDPA atlas as requested, an option staff do not recommend. “[Removal] sets a precedent, likely resulting in other similar requests and a gradual loss of rare ecosystems and buffers which are intended to be protected by the bylaw,” according to the report.

Cyclists set to Ride for Refuge Last year, more than 300 cyclists in Victoria raised over $100,000 for local charities at the Ride for Refuge.

Cyclists will be looking to match that goal when the ride returns on Oct. 3.

The family-friendly bike ride (or fivekilometre walk) is a great opportunity for people of all ages and fitness levels to get involved and do something great to support a cause that moves them.

This year 17 local charities, including The Cridge Centre for the Family, the Mustard Seed, Mercy Ships and the InterCultural Association, have gathered teams to participate – knowing that the funds raised make a big impact in their programs.

“Lives are changed every day at The Cridge Centre,” said Joanne Specht, manager of communication and fund development.

“And the funds that are raised for any charity through the Ride for Refuge are bringing huge changes and improvements in the lives of individuals and families all over Victoria and the world.

“When you support a charity that serves the vulnerable, the displaced or the exploited, you know that you are changing lives for the better.”

Riders and walkers are needed, but so are volunteers and donors – anyone and everyone can get involved. It is easy to sign up – simply visit www.rideforrefuge. org/location/victoria and choose the option that works best for you. Ride options include a 10-km, 25-km and 50-km bike ride or a 5-km walk.

Maps of the routes can be found on the website.

The start and finish location is Saanich Community Church (4566 W. Saanich Rd.) – registration opens at 8 a.m. Lunch is available when riders/ walkers complete their route. Preregistration online is preferred.

An NDP government is committed to work with towns and cities to build new roads, bridges and community infrastructure.

Specifically, the NDP will launch a Better Transit Plan to reduce gridlock and commute times across Canada by investing $1.3 billion per year over 20 years to support municipal needs. We will increase direct transfers to municipalities to build and repair roads, bridges and transit with an additional $1.5 billion annually by the end of the NDP’s first mandate. I believe it is important to work with, not against, provinces and territories to ensure effective investments while rigorously respecting their jurisdiction. We can also kick-start manufacturing with a new Innovation Tax Credit. Locally, I am committed to securing the long-promised shipbuilding jobs that will be long-term, high-skilled and well paying. Investing in shipbuilding also supports rebuilding a viable navy that has been so neglected by the Harper government.

The gap between the infrastructure funding our communities need and the funding they receive is estimated at $350 billion. Investing in better roads, bridges, water and wastewater treatment, affordable housing, transit and cycling infrastructure creates local jobs as well as improving our cities and towns. The Green Party would provide one point of the GST – about $6.4 billion annually – to fixing up and building infrastructure in our communities.

In EsquimaltSaanich-Sooke, there are two main priorities. We need to ensure that the federal government contributes its fair share to wastewater treatment (sewage) for the Core Area and other areas.

This needs to happen without the pressure of artificial deadlines, allowing for a good local process. Second, the federal government needs to invest in better transit and cycling infrastructure.

In this riding, a comprehensive approach to traffic along the Trans Canada Highway needs to have a complete approach including buses, highoccupancy vehicles and cycling, not simply an interchange at McKenzie that moves traffic faster into the next traffic light.

families, businesses and visitors alike while generating economic growth and creating jobs.

Our government’s commitment to infrastructure represents $80 billion over the next 10 years. It is the largest, and longest, federal infrastructure plan in Canada’s history.

It is important to note that since 2006, Canada has consistently led G7 countries in infrastructure funding as a rate of GDP. This is in stark contrast with the Liberal years.

I am committed to investing in public infrastructure to reduce commuting times for families, enhance our economic productivity, and encourage job creation and economic growth.

CANADA VOTES!

SPACE IS LIMITED!

Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke candidates tackle youth unemployment The Saanich News asked the candidates the question: Canada’s youth unemployment rate is at 13 per cent, what would your party do to help more young Canadians find work?

David Merner – Liberal Stephen Harper’s job creation record is the worst of any prime minister since 1946. 182,000 fewer young Canadian are employed today than before the 200809 recession. To get the economy moving, a Liberal government will launch the largest infrastructure investment in Canadian history, building public transit, sewage facilities, seniors’ centres, child care facilities, affordable housing and a green economy.

We will kick-start youth employment through a $1.3 billion investment over three years to: create 40,000 youth jobs annually, as well as 5,000 new green jobs for youth at Parks Canada and in environmental organizations; help employers create new co-op placements for science, technology, engineering, mathematics and business students; and help young Canadians gain valuable experience through community building projects funded through a $25 million Youth Service Program.

We’ll waive EI premiums for 12 months for all employers who give a full-time job to someone between the ages of 18-24.

The NDP and Conservatives both plan to

balance the federal budget through austerity cuts. The Liberal Party of Canada says that the economy is slowing and interest rates are low, so let’s get the economy moving and invest in jobs for young Canadians right now.

Shari Lukens – Conservative The Conservatives’ top priorities continue to be creating jobs, economic growth and long-term prosperity. We are working to connect Canadians, including young Canadians, with available jobs through various supports for apprentices, encouraging greater employer participation in skills training decisions and developing better labour market information. Enhancing access to post-secondary education enables more Canadians to acquire or upgrade their skills, contributing to a more productive and skilled labour force.

Economic Action Plan 2015 provided investments to enhance access to postsecondary education by removing financial barriers – $184 million over four years to allow eligibility for low- and middle-income earners, Canada Student Grants for short-duration programs, and $119 million, starting in 201617, to reduce the expected parental contribution under the Canada Student Loans Program needs assessment process.

TOFINO ESCAPE $

Frances Litman – Green Party

Randall Garrison – NDP

The Green Party will create a national Community and Environment Service Corps, providing $1 billion/ year to municipalities to hire Canadian youth. This program will provide paid employment for 40,000 youth every year for four years, for a total of 160,000 youth positions. Youth completing the program will receive a $4,000 tuition credit that they can apply to further education and training.

Our proposed Canadian Sustainable Generations Fund will make critical investments in trades, apprenticeships and education, and will ensure that all Canadians have the skills and training to prosper today and contribute to building the Canada of tomorrow. These investments in skills training will complement targeted national infrastructure investments in energy efficiency, renewable energy production, digital upgrades, clean-tech manufacturing, tourism, the creative economy and emerging technologies.

Youth are struggling under a burden of student loans.

Greens would move to eliminate tuition fees for postsecondary education and skills training for Canadians by 2020, starting with those who are least able to pay.

Existing student and future federal student debt would be capped at $10,000. We will also remove the inadequate two per cent cap on tuition for all First Nations and Inuit students.

There are over 60,000 fewer jobs for youth today than when Stephen Harper first took office, and the number of young Canadians unemployed for more than a year has tripled.

The NDP has committed to create 40,000 paid internships for youth. By creating good jobs, young people gain the experience and advanced skills they need to get working and stay working. In partnership with small business, industry, NGOs and government, we can create safe placements for youth and crackdown on the use of unpaid internships. The NDP will also give interns the same protections as other workers, ensuring our young people return home safe from work. By creating quality jobs in small business and green industries, we are also investing in Canada’s future job market.

The NDP is committed to restoring the federal minimum wage and raise it to $15 an hour.

Electing an NDP government will make life more affordable for everyone because we will invest in childcare, affordable housing and transit.

After 10 years of Stephen Harper, people in EsquimaltSaanich-Sooke have seen the damage done by his government. It’s time to put Canada back on track where no one is left behind.

The Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock is currently winding through dozens of Vancouver Island communities, and the 1,000-kilometre trek will pass through Saanich later next week.

On Thursday and Friday, Oct. 1 and 2, police officers from all over B.C. will cycle into Saanich, passing by nearly a dozen schools along the way.

Heading from Oak Bay, the 200-some riders will make their first Saanich stop at St. Michael’s University School on Thursday at 10:13 a.m. before zipping over to St. Joseph’s elementary for 10:45 a.m. From there, they’ll head to McKenzie elementary (10:58 a.m.), Pacific Christian school (11:10 a.m.) Glanford middle (11:22) and Claremont secondary.

On the final day, riders will re-enter Saanich from Esquimalt, stopping at the Coast Capital Savings at Tillicum Mall before tearing up the highway to Broadmead Shopping Centre. After that, they’ll make a 40-minute stop at Reynolds secondary at 12:29 p.m., ride past Braefoot elementary at 1:13 p.m. and take a few minutes to see students at Mt. Douglas secondary.

The officers will hit Dawson Heights before heading into Victoria, but will return to Saanich for a bit at 2:43 p.m., stopping at the University of Victoria.

The tour ends Friday around 6 p.m. at Spirit Square in Victoria. For more information, visit tourderock.ca.

EAN BOORMAN, Sotheby’s International Realty Canada, knows real estate from the ground up.

Coming from one of the oldest and most respected real estate families in Victoria, Dean’s caring, professional attitude is based on the foundation Boorman’s Real Estate’s four generations and 81-year history created.

“I was always drawn to real estate personally through architecture and design,” says Dean. “This intrigue took me to Whistler where I surrounded myself with the most predominant designers and builders and became a significant contributor to Whistler modern development history. I recognized early how real estate contributed to lifestyle; we designed homes around this.”

Dean’s expertise in real estate combines his expertise with construction, design and development as well as experience in property management; residential and strata real estate.

“My interest with real estate has taken me to six different communities in BC buying and selling with successes. I was born and raised in southern Victoria, so I understand Victoria the best and all it has to offer.”

He loves showing homes and representing Victoria and its unique lifestyle. “With first time buyers, I enjoy feeling their excitement of being a new home owner, a feeling I remember when I bought my first home,” he says. “With revenue properties, I feel the sense of prosperity an investment of this nature will provide my client in the future. With fixer uppers, I like conducting an analysis, identifying latent value and seeing the before/after results and

Candidates will be questioned on issues like food waste, healthy food for children and family food security in our region. The forum will also look at federal policies that support or inhibit the ability of localities to grow and provide a sufficient supply of food for their residents.

OUR VIEW

Election polling a numbers game Every politician and would-be MP or MLA knows, or at least they should, that polling numbers don’t translate into seats.

Polling figures from Nanos Research released this week show the governing Conservatives, Opposition NDP and the Liberals in a virtual dead heat among decided voters, with support ranging between 29 and 31 per cent. But even if that was the last poll conducted before election day, it wouldn’t necessarily mean Parliament would split exactly down those lines.

There is always a huge glut of people who are undecided up until the late stages of a campaign – some estimates put it as high as 25 per cent. In a close election race, the number of people who make up their mind just before heading to the polling station is likely far more than politicians or parties would care to see.

Public media companies have for years commissioned research firms to give them the latest figures, which often get trotted out on front pages and websites as the top story for that day.

Unfortunately, releasing polling data has become a public relations ploy, especially with all the parties commissioning their own polls at various times. One firm hired by the NDP came back with numbers last week that said Liberal leader Justin Trudeau was trailing an opponent by 11 points in his own riding. A poll conducted for a national media company with a far larger sample size and different methodology found Trudeau to actually be leading by five points.

Political parties hire pollsters to come up with numbers they feel will help them.

Without a doubt, if the numbers don’t flatter them, they don’t publicize them.

While stats heads might find the preelection numbers interesting, the only ones that count are on election day.

Voters should do their homework on the candidates and leave the polls for the parties to play around with.

YOUR VIEW

Lack of response from staff unacceptable In the last while, we submitted several communications to district departments with regards to the recently imposed Glendenning Road parking ban.

The memos raised legitimate issues and asked relevant and important questions pertaining to the justifications for the ban. At this point, three of the memos to senior staff remain unanswered.

As a result, the issues contained therein remain unaddressed and unresolved. We believe that the failure of management to respond to our comments and queries is not acceptable.

Lately, Saanich decided to designate itself as a “respectful workplace”. In a recent note to a councillor, I wrote: “I’ve said many a time that ego is what we think of ourselves, and respect is what others think of us. As a result, respect cannot either be suggested, asked for or demanded. It can only be earned. In addition, respect is always a two-way street: to get respect; you have to give respect. And that’s where the district has constantly fallen down in the past.”

Oliver Sommer Publisher 250-480-3230 osommer@blackpress.ca

Dan Ebenal Editor 250-480-3262 editor@saanichnews.com

In this instance, we believe this lack of response fails to recognize – and respect – the interests of park users who activities were displaced/disrupted by the parking ban.

The failure is also disrespectful of all Saanich residents who expect and deserve more from those who are paid well to serve to the highest and best of their abilities.

EDPA prompts concerns The Environmental Development Permit Area committee is not about protecting the environment or the flora and fauna of Saanich but all about power.

It is one group of citizens taking the rights of another group (the land owners, taxpayers and gardeners). With well over 200 hectares of parkland in Saanich to be maintained, invasive plants removed and planted with natural species for the herds of roaming deer, the EDPA committee and council members

Travis Paterson Reporter 250-480-3279 reporter@saanichnews.com

simply want more and more land and power.

This is not democracy. It is your democratic right to join the discussion on Monday, Sept. 28 at Saanich City Hall at 7 p.m. and voice your opinion at the EDPA open house on Oct. 3 at the Cedar Hill Rec Centre from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

SAANICH NEWS - Friday, September 25, 2015

Predictors of an electrifying future at Frankfurt show FRANKFURT, Germany – The Frankfurt international auto show covers an area roughly the same size as a small European country.

At least my feet figured that to be true after covering most of the premier Euro show’s 23 hectares. By the end of the day, the hybrid powered shuttles that I had poohpoohed earlier in the day as transport for the lazy looked a mighty attractive method of returning to the main gate.

The show is a feast for the automotive senses with every segment represented from tiny micro cars to oversized, grossly modified and, frankly, oddified BMW X5s.

Ten years ago, the big Euro shows were just an opportunity to gaze longingly at makes and models we would never Particularly get to drive back home. Now interesting this it’s a global marketplace and manufacturers are competing year is the Audi with world cars modified only bombardment of slightly for each country. alternative energy And what the likes of Audi, VW, BMW are parading fuelled cars. here will be coming to your Keith Morgan neighbourhood showroom sooner rather than later.

Particularly interesting this year is the Audi bombardment of alternative energy fuelled cars.

Significant because the German manufacturer has never been one to rush into following the latest fad or fashion.

Its unveiling of its e-tron Quattro electric concept means it’s come up with solid, performance oriented machines that will not disappoint. The debut offers a foretaste of a production car set for the model year 2018. A single charge will haul a car load for up to 500 kilometres, courtesy of the all-wheel quattro drive, which features a front-mounted and two rear-mounted motors.

Sharing the platform are some not too shabby hybrids!

– The Q7 e-tron 3.0 TDI quattro plug-in hybrid promise

Nissan Gripz 2+2 Crossover concept

an all-electric range of with up to 56 km. The Audi A4 g-tron is expected to consume less than four kilograms of natural gas per 100 km driven. Doubt that one will sail our way despite the excesses of natural gas we have in our corner of the world.

Sneak peeks of the A4 range are there to see but more about that popular line soon as Driveway is heading to Venice to spend some time at the wheel.

VW group stablemate, Porsche is also going electric this year with its four-seat Mission E concept. It also boasts a 500-kilometre range and 600 horsepower performance. Don’t hold your breath for its arrival.

It used to be that Asian manufacturers soft pedalled the Euro shows but not anymore. Nissan is dazzling the crowds with its oddly named electric powered Gripz 2+2 Crossover concept. Its design is inspired by classic desert rally cars and racing bicycles.

Kia from Korea is showing its new Sportage and promises it will go on sale early next year. The Sportage back story demonstrates how serious the manufacturer is about producing sport utility vehicles that have backwoods performance capabilities.

The little company that could is reminding us why Mazda deserves to be among the big boys, unveiling its Koeru crossover SUV concept.

Which brings me back to another Volkswagen Group offering from VW itself. The all-new Tiguan was announced with great fanfare at last week’s media preview. Take a look at the picture then stretch your imagination. No, I mean stretch it in your imagination because we are apparently only getting an extended version of the utility vehicle. And it’s unlikely to arrive for at least another year. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Saanich banker to match $1 million in donations Funds will help launch immunotherapy clinical trials Travis Paterson News Staff

It’s been a long road for former Saanichite Robert Conconi.

Last week the Robert L. Conconi Foundation and B.C. Cancer Foundation announced they will match donations up to $1 million to support the immunotherapy research program based at the B.C. Cancer Agency’s Deeley Research Centre in Saanich.

The goal is to launch clinical trials for a made-in-B.C. immunotherapy approach to cancer treatment.

Conconi was a Claremont secondary graduate who grew up in Central Saanich where, like many young entrepreneurs, he delivered newspapers and picked strawberries.

He eventually launched his career at the former Bank of Montreal branch at Saanich’s Cook and Quadra intersection.

As a cancer survivor, Conconi says he owes his life to cancer research and the hard-working scientists and clinicians of the B.C. Cancer Agency who applied his successful cancer treatments years ago.

The idea to support research in the area of immunotherapy is actually that of Robert Conconi’s

eldest son, Alex, who is drawn to the promise of harnessing the potential of a patient’s immune system to eliminate cancer cells.

“We believe immunotherapy is the most promising and highly personalized new cancer treatment in development,” Alex said.

The Deeley Research Centre is targeting a specific form of immunotherapy, adoptive T cell therapy, here in Saanich.

The research team is in final preparations for clinical trials, which will require significant philanthropic funds to support the development of each custom T cell therapy.

The matching gift opportunity runs until Oct. 22, at bccancerfoundation. com/conconimatch. reporter@saanichnews.com

Gordon Head glows for Moon Festival Food trucks will be on site.

Parking is limited. Organizers encourage festival goers to walk, bike, bus, or park a bit away and enjoy the stroll to the park.

the Heart, a free day of emergency dental care for up to 100 people in need.

“It’s a compassionate service for people in pain who can’t afford dental work,” says Crapo.

Life is complicated enough without having to face it with chronic tooth pain, he added.

This year five dentists will provide a full day’s worth of their time.

“If someone lost a filling or has a tooth that’s not saveable we can help with that, we’ll deal with as much as we can.”

In the past five years, the event has helped about 275 people from across Greater Victoria with more than $140,000 in free dental care.

Visibility a Concern at Crosswalk

S

Greentree resident brought to the attention of the Gordon Head Residents Association her concerns about safety at the Hillcrest/Greentree crosswalk.

The crosswalk is used by Hillcrest Elementary students who walk to and from the school catchment area south of Hillcrest.

The crosswalk and a couple hundred meters of concrete sidewalk on the south side of Hillcrest was installed to accommodate those students as a part of the “Safe Route to The Hillcrest parents and School Policy”. administration agree that At issue, is the there is a safety issue. restricted visibility caused by cars parked near the crosswalk. Traffic is brisk during those times when Hillcrest students are being dropped off or picked up and safety is compromised when vehicles must go around parked cars. Eastbound drivers are unable to see pedestrians in the crosswalk until they are well out in the street.

The Hillcrest parents and administration agree that there is a safety issue. The issue was brought to the attention of Saanich Engineering and they agreed that improvements are needed.

What we have suggested is a no or time-limited no parking signage near the crosswalk at the four corners and that the 30 km/h school zone be extended onto Hillcrest at that site. We are asking that improvements to this crosswalk be put on Saanich Engineering’s 2016 project list.

aanich (including Gordon Head) is one of the seven member municipalities of the Core Area Liquid Waste (i.e. sewage) Management Committee of the Capital Regional District (CRD). The other six municipalities are Victoria, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, View Royal, Colwood and Langford.

Last summer the CRD took a new direction: • The Seaterra Commission was terminated; • The McLaughlin Point site in Esquimalt was declared “dead”; • A review of potential sewage treatment plant locations was conducted in Saanich, Victoria and Oak Bay, including public consultation.

In August 2015 three new CRD initiatives were announced: • A Technical Oversight Panel of six outside experts was established. This purpose of this panel is to ensure the “rigorous costing and feasibility studies for the wastewater treatment options…. and provide independent oversight to the work of the engineering, business case, lifecycle costing and other project analysis. “ This panel will report directly to the liquid waste committee; • Kim Cholette was selected as the Fairness and Transparency Advisor for the Core Area Liquid Waste Management Program; • Urban Systems, partnered with Carollo Associates, was awarded the contract to conduct the feasibility and costing analysis for the CRD Core Area Liquid Waste Management Plan Wastewater Treatment System.

For the details of this announcement see https://www.crd.bc.ca/ project/wastewater-planning.

The completion date for this phase of CRD planning is March 31, 2016.

This fall, the GHRA is considering an open forum in Gordon Head on this important issue.

Local triathlete ends season in grand fashion Travis Paterson News Staff

When Saanich’s Brennen Smith hit the finish line of the World Triathlon Grand Final in Chicago on Sept. 17 he started drinking a bottle of Gatorade.

It took him three hours to finish it.

It was a “light case” of heat stroke but nothing that was going to keep Smith from running a Grand Final triathlon at full bore.

Despite the suffering, Smith, an 18-year-old who lives in Royal Oak, won silver in the 16 to 19 age group of the World Triathlon Grand Final in Chicago on Sept. 17.

“I felt strong even though I was fighting it,” Smith said.

Regardless, it’s not ideal to throw up during a race. While on the run course, Smith’s body rejected the water he’d managed to drink during the bike.

The stroke started while the athletes, clad in black wetsuits, stood under the the sun in 30 C heat to wait for the race to begin. (Athletes couldn’t enter the water to cool down

He finished the sprint distance (750-metre swim, 20-kilometre bike and 5km run) race in one hour and 44 seconds. It was 11 seconds back of winner Timothy Winslow of the U.S. and 11 seconds ahead of the bronze medalist, another U.S.

athlete, Jack Toland.

It’s the biggest win of Smith’s young career, a bookend to a strong summer, and the stroke leaves him wondering how much more he could have given.

Already this summer Smith finished fourth at the Western Canada Summer Games, second at the Kelowna

Apple Triathlon (junior elite sprint) and ninth in the Edmonton stop of the World Triathlon Series (junior elite).

“I’m really excited with how [the Grand Final] went, a great end to the season,” Smith said.

Smith came out of the swim in the lead group and it was quickly down to two in the lead. He was running well when he was caught with two kilometres remaining

by Winslow.

“The swim went really well, I found some solid feet in the water [someone the same speed] and managed to stick right behind them,” Smith said.

Once on the bikes, Smith and his fellow leader managed to “drop” their fellow cyclist. The two then made use of the nondraft rules as best they could, taking turns passing each other while “making small drafts” in each pass.

“It’s actually hard [to adhere to the draft rules], you have to keep your distance,” Smith said.

Tonight (Sept. 25) the Braves host longtime rivals, the Victoria Cougars (4-0).

Slowing the high-powered Cougars offence (27 goals in four games) is key, Cook said.

“First and foremost, do your best to compete at five-on-five.

They work hard, so if you can match them in compete level at even strength, that’s the key, and stay away from their [powerplay].”

“Both games we were average in the third period, a trend I want to stop,” said Braves coach Brad Cook. “We let teams back in the games a little bit, which may be a mixture of conditioning and nerves. Learning how to win is a learning process but we’ll take the four points for sure and move on.”

Former WHL player Brandon Fushimi made an immediate impact joining the Saanich Braves. Fushimi scored the first goal of his first game last Friday as the Braves won 4-2 over the visiting Comox Valley Glacier Kings at Pearkes Arena.

Fushimi’s new linemates Nick Kean and Cam Kovesdi assisted on the goal. Kean, Joel Nagy and Scott Henderson also scored on Friday.

Then on Saturday, the Fushimi-Kean-Kovesdi line struck again with Kean scoring from Fushimi to kickoff the Braves’ 6-4 road win over the Oceanside Generals. Fushimi and Henderson also scored on

Fusion collect pair of wins The Saanich Fusion Football Club’s premier women and division 1 men were both victorious over the weekend despite missing key players.

The premier women defeated Lakehill 1-0 on a goal by Katherine Chesher.

Head coach Justin Parish was satisfied with the result as the team was missing their starting goalkeeper and had low numbers.

Parish said the team played well, but they need to continue to get used to playing with each other as the team has many new faces this season.

Last year the SFFC premier women finished third in the Lower Island Women’s Association league and were knocked out of the B.C. provincial tournament in the second round.

Parish is aiming to improve on the third-place finish and hopes the team gets further in the provincial tournament.

The premier women play Prospect Lake at Layritz on Friday.

The SFFC Maude Hunter’s division 1 men battled hard to sneak out a 2-1 victory over the Vancouver Island Wave.

Bryan Taylor scored two goals to get SFFC the win.

Head coach Steph Steiner said it was an ugly game, but the team battled hard and he is happy to get the win.

“At the end of the day we got the three points and that’s all that matters in this league,” said Steiner.

SFFC Maude Hunter’s went into the game without five of their starting 11 as they are sidelined with injuries.

“We have depth, but when you are missing five starting players it’s a challenge for everyone else,” said Steiner.

SFFC expects a couple of those starters to be back in the lineup in a couple of weeks while the others may be a month or so away.

SFFC Maude Hunter’s play their home opener on Friday at Tyndall Park against Bays United Liquor Plus, kick off at 8 p.m.

Mannequins encourage teamwork at Royal Jubilee Simulation learning centre now open at hospital Kendra Wong Black Press

Julie is a regular 19-year-old.

But she recently fell while playing soccer and broke her right leg, requiring her to have surgery to repair the fracture.

She’s healthy. But in her medical history, her mother had an abnormal reaction to an anesthetic, which is why doctors kept Julie awake under spinal anesthetic.

The surgery went well until half an hour in.

“How are you doing, Julie?” asks Dr. Stan Vuksic, the anaesthesiologist.

“I’m not feeling too well,” she responds and starts to blink rapidly.

Suddenly, her blood pressure drops and she has an unusual, but not unheard of heart rhythm.

Doctors respond with usual treatment procedures, but she goes into a different heart rhythm.

Doctors call for additional help and use a defibrillator to shock her heart back into a normal rhythm.

Julie is not real. She’s a mannequin, but the simulation is real.

The demonstration was part

The state-of-the-art mannequins, which are wireless and have ultrasound technology, simulate human patients and range in age and body type from newborn to adult. Each has a name, a medical and social history, and life-like features including blinking eyes, a beating heart, working lungs and a voice that responds to treatments. It can cough and moan as well.

of the opening of the Centre for Interprofessional Clinical Simulation Learning at Royal Jubilee Hospital last week.

The $2.9-million centre is a partnership between Island Health, the University of Victoria and the University of B.C.’s Faculty of Medicine. It will provide more than 500 medical, nursing, midwifery and health professionals with medical scenarios they are likely to

Mannequins will be programmed to behave in different ways with vital signs that respond to treatments and interventions. Students will enter an operating room with the same equipment and tools they would normally use, including anesthetics and gases that mannequins can detect and respond to.

In the past, the two universities have used mannequins as part of

the curriculum, but none are as advanced as these.

Valarie Kuehne, UVic’s vicepresident academic and provost, said the program will help students be more prepared in the real world and enhance patient safety. “(The mannequins) have the capacity to respond. So as the simulation is ongoing, the patient can do better or worse depending on what actions are taken by the multi-disciplinary team,” Kuehne said.

“It provides an opportunity for all the disciplines that are engaged in the simulation to debrief afterward and actually learn from the steps that were taken and not taken and how they could improve this in a real situation should they find it in their work.”

Taj Baidwan, executive vicepresident and chief medical officer with Island Health, said the simulation teaches students to work together as a team.

“We can’t do it on our own and the strength of that is really brought out in the simulation, especially if it starts at the beginning of your training,” he said, adding hospitals around the world are increasingly using simulations as learning tools. “It’s no longer about learners being classical learners that we thought of. Now it’s about learning throughout your career and learning from your mistakes.”

Former Saanich Brave Adam Cracknell scores the winning goal to give the Vancouver Canucks a 1-0 overtime victory over the San Jose Sharks at the Kraft Hockeyville pre-season game at The Q Centre in Colwood Monday.

an Isl

It was clear who was the “home” team for Monday night’s Kraft Hockeyville game at The Q Centre in Colwood.

The sea of blue and green jerseys gave the Vancouver Canucks a distinct edge over their opponent, the San Jose Sharks, in the fan support department.

And one particular Canuck, Colwood native and former Saanich Brave Adam Cracknell, no doubt gained a new following after he scored the winner 1:38 into the NHL’s newly minted threeon-three overtime to give Vancouver a 1-0 win in their first pre-season game. The newest Canucks signee, who played his minor hockey up the hill at Juan de Fuca Arena, snapped a shot over Sharks goalie Aaron Dell’s shoulder to send the sellout crowd to their feet.

“I had a lot of time and picked the corner,” he said afterward, amid a throng of media members. He added it felt good to score the winner and play in front of some of the old hockey buddies.

“I’m sure I scored a lot of Stanley Cup winninggoals on the road (playing street hockey), but this was pretty big.”

The 30-year-old journeyman forward, who has played 82 NHL games in abbreviated stints with St. Louis and Columbus since 2010, had many friends and family in the crowd. Among them was Colwood Mayor Carol Hamilton, who posed for pictures after the game with the 6-1, 216pound right winger.

North Saanich had won the right to host an NHL game plus $100,000 for arena upgrades from the national Hockeyville contest. The game was shifted to the larger arena from the community’s Panorama Recreation Centre for various reasons, not least to accommodate national TV coverage.

Nonetheless, there was very much a North Saanich flavour to the night.

Given the numerous banners around the place celebrating the municipality as Hockeyville, longtime Peninsula Minor Hockey volunteer Cliff Orr dropping the puck for the ceremonial opening face-off, and the collection of young Eagles players doing the ice scrapes during the commercial breaks, a person dropped into the building might have believed they were actually direct 250.480.3235 in North Saanich.

“There’s a nice ambiance here,” Central Saanich resident Ethelwyn Smith said during the second intermission. Unlike most of the direct 250.656.1151 ext. 131 jersey-wearing adults at the game, she showed her loyalty by donning a Peninsula Eagles minor hockey shirt.

“My son and daughter both played minor direct 250.480.3290 hockey at Peninsula,” said Smith, whose son, Brian, grew up and played hockey with the

Don Descoteau

NHL’s Benn brothers, Jordie and Jamie, and “spent hours on the tennis courts” with them on the Smiths’ property. “Everyone is quite proud. I think it’s remarkable that this community (North Saanich) was able to pull this off.”

Veteran commentator Don Cherry, who partnered with CBC’s Ron McLean for an on-ice Coach’s Corner instalment, made reference to the Benns, as well as Victoria’s Courtnall brothers – NHLers from a previous generation – in his comments.

Hamilton, representing the host municipality, said to her the Hockeyville program is all about bringing the game back to its roots.

“I think it’s about reiterating a sense of community,” she said. “Every one of those guys out there started out on a rink like this, or smaller, like a backyard pond.”

For the young fans in attendance, she said, “memories are being made here. Kids are going to go off to school tomorrow and be talking about being here.”

Realtors donate to housing charities The 100+ Women Who Care making a difference in local community Pamela Roth Black Press

It’s a concept that began in the United States in 2006 and continues to spread across North America, but now a group of Victoria realtors have made the concept their own.

The 100+ Women Who Care movement started in Jackson, Mich. and the concept is simple.

The groups meet for one hour, four times a year. Each member brings a cheque for $100 and nominates local charities, non-profits or worthy causes, whose names are put into a hat.

Three names are drawn at random at each meeting, and a member makes a five-minute presentation about each cause. The members then vote on which one to support.

Local realtors Tara Hearn and Jane Johnston were both members of 100+ Women Who Care and decided it was time to start their own group with other realtors.

Last January, Hearn and Johnson teamed up with Neil Bosdet and Joanne Broderson, and started working on 100+ Real Estate Agents Who Care Victoria.

The group is focused on donating to charities in the Greater Victoria area that provide shelter and housing services to those in need.

“Not everyone has the benefit of being able to own a home, but we are all about homes,” Hearn said.

Their first meeting in May was attended by 60 realtors who raised $6,000 to give to the Laren Society, which manages a halfway house in Victoria.

“It’s so exciting. To get 60 people to come together and support

You know you are going to be making a difference. It just shows you what working together can do.”

Members of 100+ Real Estate Agents Who Care Victoria can nominate a charity for consideration by completing a charity nomination form. Some of the rec-

ommended charities include the Greater Victoria Coalition to End Homelessness, Victoria Cool Aid Society, Victoria Youth Empowerment Society, Habitat for Humanity and the Greater Victoria Housing Society.

All Hearn wants to do is make a difference in the community, and so far the concept seems to be taking off.

Come join our amazing team of volunteers!

We rely on volunteers on builds and in the ReStore to help us build homes for hardworking local families.

“People are excited by the experience so they are going to be drawing their friends in,” said Hearn. “It’s a real feel-good experience and it only takes an hour of your time.”

Anyone who wants to get involved can contact their local realtor. For more information visit 100realestateagents.com or visit their Facebook page.

Province loses student data Tom Fletcher Black Press

Education Ministry staff have searched in vain since this summer to locate a backup hard drive containing B.C. and Yukon student information from 1986 to 2009.

The computer memory disk contains 3.4 million public school education records, including names, postal codes, grades and personal education numbers.

Citizens’ Services Minister Amrik Virk said Tuesday there is no evidence the information has been taken or misused.

After a lengthy physical search of a secure warehouse in Victoria turned up nothing, ministry electronic records continue to be searched to see if the hard drive was moved or destroyed.

Virk said there were two unencrypted backup hard drives created in 2011, contrary to ministry information and privacy rules. Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham has been notified and is investigating.

“There’s no doubt that a mistake was made, first in how the hard drive was created, and secondly, how it was stored,” Virk said. “This should not have happened.”

The drive also contains more than 9,000 personal education numbers for children in government care, connected to information such as health and behaviour issues.

This sensitive personal information could be connected to names by comparing the personal education numbers to names through the larger data file.

NDP education critic Rob Fleming said Virk is coming forward after several weeks because he doesn’t believe the missing hard drive will be found.

“For government to admit this has happened is not good enough,” Fleming said.

“They have to tell us how and why it happened, and the minister specifically has to say why he failed to do his job.”

The government has set up a phone contact centre through Service BC for specific inquiries about the data breach. The centre is open 7:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday to Friday, and callers should be prepared to say when they attended public or post-secondary schools in B.C. In Victoria, call 250-387-6121.

Details of the information on the missing drive can be viewed online at http://bit. ly/1YzSt9p.

In addition to receiving a home renovation rebate, which cut the cost of their renovation almost in half; the Swans are no longer racking up high energy bills.

“Our Hydro bills for the nine months since the renovations are less than half of the previous currently around $60 monthly,” says Andrew.

If you’re interested in renovating like the Swan’s, but are worried about costs or finding the capital, BC Hydro is working with Vancity to help eligible customers take action with affordable financing options, including an additional $200 rebate to homeowners completing energy efficiency renovations until November 30, 2015.

Also, the Vancity Home Energy™ Loan offers great flexibility at a great rate. One loan keeps it simple, if you’re doing multiple home energy efficiency upgrades and are using different contractors for various energy efficiency technologies, you can get a single loan for the whole project opposed to arranging financing with each contractor.

There are plenty of cost-saving rebates available on home energy upgrades so you can act on renovations projects now. Start enjoying increased comfort, quality of life, aesthetics and home value, all while seeing long-term savings on your home electricity bill.
