Saanich candidates square off at forum Dan Ebenal News Staff

Close to 200 people crowded into the gym at Lochside elementary school Tuesday night to hear from the candidates in Saanich-Gulf Islands. Green Party leader Elizabeth May drew the loudest applause from the audience at the forum put on by the Cordova Bay, Blenkinsop Valley and Broadmead Area community associations, but she also drew a few pointed barbs from her challengers. The NDP’s Alicia Cormier pointed to her party’s commitment to protecting the environment, saying it’s “something the Greens can’t do because they can’t form government.” Robert Boyd of the Conservatives attacked May’s pledge to work with a Liberal or NDP government, where he said she could work to implement “her dangerous economic policies.” The Conservative candidate didn’t come away from the debate unscathed, as the three other candidates all took shots at the policies of the Stephen Harper government. On a question about striking a balance between a peacekeeping and combat role, Liberal Tim Kane said there is no balance now.

Dan Ebenal/News Staff

The Green Party’s Elizabeth May answers a question at Tuesday night’s forum at Lochside elementary school as the NDP’s Alicia Cormier and Tim Kane of the Liberals await their turn. “Stephen Harper is all about combat. This isn’t the Canada I know.” May accused the Conservatives of “stirring up fear for personal electoral gain.” Boyd said you can’t keep the peace until you make the peace. “If we don’t stamp out the problem we are going to be seeing this over and over again.” With many of the night’s questioned focused on the environment, May reaffirmed her commitment that the Kinder Morgan pipeline was a “non-starter from the get-go,” while Cormier said the NDP doesn’t support any of the four pipeline proposals on the table. Kane said Canada needs to get its resources to market, as hundreds of thousands of jobs are dependent on it.

“The real problem is the Conservatives have dismantled the environmental process,” he said. The candidates for the Greens, NDP and Liberals all promised to restore the cuts to the CBC, which Kane called “the jewel in the crown of our culture.” Cormier said the CBC defines our country, while May called for changes to the governing structure of the public broadcaster. She said the board is now made up of Conservative appointees, adding “I think they have an eye to destroying the CBC.” Boyd said he supports public broadcasting but also believes the CBC receives adequate funding.

Fair promises to be a paradise for the young at heart Victoria’s Ultimate Hobby & Toy Fair returns to Pearkes on Sunday Jacob Zinn News Staff

Whether you’re a Trekkie, a gamer, a band geek, a comic book guy, a dungeon master or something else entirely, Victoria’s Ultimate Hobby & Toy Fair will have something for you. On Sunday, the 16th annual convention takes over the Pearkes Recreation Centre, featuring more than 250 vendors selling everything from vintage and collectible action figures to classic Hot Wheels to rare vinyl records. The twice-a-year fair – which has door prizes, special guests and a variety of games – was started eight years ago as a family-friendly response to the typical collectible culture show. “We wanted to do a toy event where it’s more family focused and charity-based,” said B. Woodward, who owns Cherry Bomb Toys with his wife Candice. “There was another show, but it was out in Sidney – it was more of an older crowd. It was more of a diecast and tin toy scenario, which is still amazing and awesome, but they weren’t really focusing on the family scenario. That’s something that we really wanted to bring.” Since its inception, the fair has grown to attract about 5,000 people per show, with people coming from as far away as Germany and Japan. The show has expanded to include carnival games, which Woodward said added to the charitable aspect of the fair. “You’ve got to have a reason for the kids to play games, so we said, ‘Hey, let’s do it all for charity,’” he said. “All the money that the kids pay to play the games goes to

B. Woodward of Cherry Bomb Toys, who organizes Victoria’s Ultimate Hobby & Toy Fair with his wife Candice, is getting ready for its return to the Pearkes Recreation Centre on Sunday. B.C. Children’s Hospital.” Over the years, the fair has raised more than $33,000 for local charities. This year, there will also be a silent auction with proceeds going to the MS Society of

Canada, and a number of the guests are dedicated to helping people locally, such as Heroes Inc. “They’re a group of people that dress up as superheroes and they go out and do

things to help kids,” said Woodward, noting they volunteer and make appearances at all kinds of community events. “They help run the games in the back.” Other guests include the Angels Chopper Bicycle Club (AC/BC), which teaches underprivileged kids how to build bikes; the Victoria LEGO Users Group, who inspire kids with their LEGO creations; and the Star Wars 501st. “They’re the folks that dress up as Star Wars characters – Stormtroopers, Darth Vader, Boba Fett and so forth,” said Woodward. “We’ve always had them at the show and they do this for the community, for charity, just using the Star Wars venue to dress up and have fun and get kids involved.” The fair will also feature some mouthwatering food trucks from Empire Donuts, the Crispy Fish and a host of others. In addition to being family-friendly and giving back to charity, Woodward said the fair also teaches kids important social skills through collecting – like how to barter – and opens them up to hobbies they never knew they’d like. “Collecting is not just about yourself,” he said. “It’s about sharing, it’s about looking at a new thing altogether. You get to see all these new things – models, trains, baseball cards, comics, knitting. “This is a mom and pop show. Toy shows and hobbies – it’s all about family.” The fair runs Sunday, Oct. 4, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Pearkes Recreation Centre, 3100 Tillicum Rd. Admission is $5, but kids 12 and under get in free. Early bird VIP tickets – which get you into the fair an hour early – are currently available for $10 at Cherry Bomb Toys, 1410 Broad St. On the day of the fair, early bird tickets can still be purchased, but for $15.

Boisterous crowd seeks end to environmental permit area Travis Paterson News Staff

Saanich council was a haven of unrest Monday night as residents packed the chambers to speak to, and witness, whether or not council would remove two properties from the Environmental Development Permit Area. After hours of public input – and the defeat of an impromptu motion to completely abolish the EDPA bylaw made by Mayor Richard Atwell – council voted to postpone any decision on the two properties until after Saturday’s EDPA Drop-In Open House at Cedar Hill Recreation Centre and an upcoming town hall forum (date to be determined). “The crowd was angry and I’m sorry about that but we’re in the middle of a process that council approved,” said Coun. Judy Brownoff.

misinformation. Some people were making claims that simply weren’t true.” The residents in attendance were extremely vocal, clapping and cheering for anti-EDPA speakers and did not adhere to Atwell’s requests to refrain from cheering and clapping. More than a dozen homeowners spoke against the EDPA. Many asked for the removal of the Rainbow Street properties, while many more claimed the bylaw’s restrictions are unlawfully devaluing their property’s worth. The charged atmosphere made pro-EDPA residents feel unsafe, said Kristen Miskelly, one of two residents to speak to the EDPA’s importance on Monday.

Brownoff initiated the motion to postpone any decision on the removal of the said properties, Rainbow Street lots 4007 and 4011, from the EDPA atlas. “Gathering information and feedback at the open house and town hall is the process [we are in],” she said. Postponement was supported by Couns. Dean Murdoch, Vicki Sanders, Vic Derman and Susan Brice, while Atwell, Leif Wergeland, and Colin Plant believed there was enough information on the table to remove the properties immediately. Coun. Fred Haynes was away. Staff’s report recommended against removing the properties from the EDPA atlas as it could set a precedent. About 2,000 properties in Saanich are affected by the EDPA in various ways. “There was some good things said [Monday] but it was premature,” Brownoff added. “There’s also a lot of

“People came up to us after the council and said we wanted to speak but were afraid to speak because of the tone in the room. I didn’t feel safe leaving.” Miskelly has a masters in biology, is a member of the Garry Oak Ecosystems Recovery Team and has expertise in Garry oak ecosystem conservation and restoration. “This is the most important question of our lifetime, protecting our habitat,” said Miskelly to a chorus of boos. “Owners are the stewards of the sites, the land will be here longer than us.” Miskelly was shocked that Atwell would move to repeal the EDPA without conferring with council before hand. “I’m not saying the EDPA is flawless or doesn’t need changes made to it, or that the voices we heard on Monday shouldn’t be heard,” Miskelly said. “But there’s a difference between fixing the EDPA and abolishing it completely, which means the small remaining ecosystems would be left unprotected and that scares me.” Atwell said he felt he needed to be a voice on council for the public. Going forward, he will not bring back his motion to repeal the EDPA, an idea that came to him after a weekend of hearing residents’ concerns and “reading the crowd” on Monday night.

CANADA VOTES!

Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke candidates outline plans for seniors The Saanich News asked the candidates in Esquimalt-SaanichSooke the question: What would your party do to ensure Canada’s seniors are able to live comfortably in their retirement?

Frances Litman – Green Party Over 600,000 seniors live in poverty. The Green Party would introduce a Guaranteed Livable Income that ensures that Canadians of all ages have the means to live in dignity with a roof over their head and food on the table. This will save money through better health outcomes and reduced crime rates as well as improving our quality of life. Our National Pharmacare Program will provide seniors with affordable access to the medicines that they need. By expanding and co-ordinating the patchwork of public and private schemes, and bulk purchasing of generic drugs, Canadians could save up to $11 billion annually. Ninety per cent of seniors deal with at least one chronic disease. Treating those diseases amounts to 60 per cent of all senior health care costs. But often those in need of long-term care end up in emergency rooms, which are not designed to meet their needs and have high costs. Greens support an Aging in Place approach which supports seniors with homecare that enables them to stay at home, in their community, safely and comfortably.

David Merner – Liberals A Liberal government will reverse Conservative cuts and provide Canadians with a more secure retirement. We will restore the eligibility age for Old Age Security and the Guaranteed Income Supplement to 65, putting an average of $13,000 annually into the pockets of

the lowest income Canadians as they become seniors. We will increase the Guaranteed Income Supplement for single, lower income seniors by 10 per cent, providing up to $920 more to Canada’s 1.25 million lowest income seniors, including 900,000 single women. OAS and GIS will be indexed to a new, more accurate and more generous Seniors Price Index of goods most commonly purchased by seniors. In periods when the Consumer Price Index grows faster than the Seniors Price Index, the traditional Consumer Price Index will be used. We will continue to allow income splitting for seniors. We will work with the provinces and territories, workers, employers and retiree organizations to enhance the Canada Pension Plan and make it more generous at lower cost. Liberals support voluntary deferral of CPP and OAS pensions until age 70 in return for higher pensions. We also support raising the age for mandatory withdrawal from RRSPs.

Randall Garrison – NDP Everyone deserves to retire with dignity. But nearly one-third of working Canadians will face a steep drop in their standard of living when they retire, and seven out of 10 of us don’t have a workplace pension plan. Instead of strengthening public pensions, Stephen Harper raised the age of retirement to 67 and refused calls from the country’s premiers to bolster the CCP/QPP. And just like the last Liberal government, the Conservatives have done nothing to protect private pensions when companies go bankrupt. The NDP is committed to restoring the retirement age to 65, so people can retire on time. We will also boost the Guaranteed Income Supplement and expand the Canada pension plan so people have enough money to retire comfortably. I think it is also important to have affordable options, so the NDP has committed to invest in affordable housing

that meets seniors’ needs if we are elected government.

Shari Lukens – Conservative Canada’s seniors have saved and worked their entire lives, and I believe they know best how to make financial decisions about their futures and their retirement. Seniors at all income levels are benefitting from tax cuts and enhanced benefits introduced by the Conservative government. For example, tax-free savings accounts have provided 2.7 million seniors with a secure and flexible savings option that protects their money from being eroded by taxes; pension income splitting is providing significant tax relief to over one million senior couples; increases to Guaranteed Income Supplement benefits are helping Canada’s most vulnerable seniors; and increases to the Age Credit and the Pension Income Credit are providing significant tax relief to eligible seniors. As a result of these measures, about

400,000 seniors have been removed from the tax rolls completely. A re-elected Conservative government will establish a $2,000 Single Seniors Tax

Credit that will extend additional annual tax relief to nearly 1.6 million single and widowed seniors in Canada who have pension income. When combined with the existing $2,000 Pension

Income Credit that is claimed by 4.6 million seniors already, this new measure will double the tax relief available to single seniors annually, beginning in January 2017.

questioned on the TPP trade deal and whether it’s a good idea to negotiate the deal in the midst of an election campaign. “The work of government doesn’t stop just because an election is taking place,” he said, adding the details would become known when it comes to Parliament to be voted on. May pointed to the free trade deal between Canada and South Korea, saying “No Robert, not every trade deal has a vote in Parliament.” The Green Party leader then looked towards Boyd and said, “Don’t shake your head at me, I really know this stuff.” All the candidates seemed receptive to a question about lowering the voting age. “We should lower the voting age to get more younger people voting,” said May, adding if people started voting at 16 while they were in school, it is more likely they would continue voting at 18 and 20. Kane said he liked the idea, but because it’s not part

of the Liberal platform couldn’t comment further. Cormier said she would like to hear more from the public on the issue, adding that as a mother she had her doubts “whether 16 is the right age.” Boyd said there are many ways for youth to get involved in the electoral system now, adding he became involved at the age of 14. “I would like to see that when people turn 18 that they are automatically registered.” A question directed at the Liberal and NDP candidates displayed a stark contrast on the issue of whipped votes. “The Liberal policy is we will not have whipped votes again. We will vote as our constituents think we should.” Cormier said a whipped vote shows accountability and keeping a commitment made to the voters on the policies supported at election time. “How would you poll 40,000 people in a riding to know how to vote?” she asked.

Library campaign going by the book The Greater Victoria Public Library is asking residents to stay home and read a book today. On Friday, the library wants everyone to stay home, curl up with a good book, and donate the money they would have spent on a night out to support the library. Funds raised will be used to purchase more materials to enhance GVPL’s collections ranging from e-books to magazines to children’s kits with puppets and toys. “This is a great chance for Greater Victoria to enjoy a good book while at the same time, showing support for the library as the cornerstone of our community,” said Kathy Santini, vice-chair of the GVPL development committee. Every year, cardholders borrow more than six million books, magazines, DVDs and other items that inform and entertain. But support from the community is needed to help keep up with the growing demand for print and digital collections. GVPL is one of the busiest libraries in the country with the highest circulation per capita in Canada. There is no limit to what you can do with your library card. All gifts are appreciated, from $25 to add the latest and greatest music to $100 to purchase a thought-provoking Canadian documentary and support local talent to $250 to spark the love of reading in small children with 10 new picture books on the library’s shelves. “We will have spaces online and in-branch for individuals to share how they intend to celebrate Oct. 2, while they stay home, read a book and make a pledge to support their library,” said CEO Maureen Sawa. For more information and to make your pledge, visit any branch or gvpl.ca/stayathome.

OUR VIEW

Attack highlights security concerns A frightening incident that took place last weekend on the University of Victoria campus highlights the need for all of us to do a little more to ensure the safety of ourselves and those around us. A UVic student was attacked by a group of men in a wooded area adjacent to parking lot #1 in the early morning hours Saturday. The victim managed to fend off her assailants until a passerby came to her aid and the attackers fled the scene. Saanich Police said the woman never gave in and did everything she could to prevent the attack. Afterwards she bravely came forward to report the incident. Her actions likely prevented the incident from becoming far more traumatic, as the victim escaped any significant injuries. But the incident should also serve as a reminder of the dangers women face when walking alone at night. It shouldn’t be a necessity for women to fear for their safety when they’re alone at night but unfortunately that is the world that we live in. Women should always try to remain in groups after dark, and services such as the Safewalk Program at UVic are available to ensure students reach their destinations safely. But programs like Safewalk can’t prevent crimes if they aren’t being used. It may only be a few minute walk, but that’s all it takes for a tragedy to occur. Talk to your friends, neighbours, classmates and family members and make sure they realize the dangers of being alone at night. Meanwhile, the police are searching for a hero in our midst.

Gordon Head Rec Centre cooks up classes for seniors

Seniors issues focus of forum

Seniors issues will be in the spotlight as the Victoria riding candidates gather for an allcandidates meeting Monday afternoon. The Canadian Association of

Retired Persons is presenting the forum which is scheduled for 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Monday at the Saint Mathias Anglican Church, 600 Richmond Ave. in Victoria.

Saanich resident Elizabeth Coey is so happy with the Social Cooking classes at Gordon Head Recreation Centre she can’t help but wonder if more people would enjoy it. The classes are geared towards adults aged 55 and older and use cooking to touch on the issue of social isolation and other challenges that older adults can face in our community. “Participants cook with each other, meet new folks, and get their hands dirty through the cooking aspect as it’s all about sharing the jobs and learning something on the way,” said Chris Filler, Saanich recreation programmer. “We’ve actually heard back from some male participants that are in the position where they’re having to cook their own food for the first time in a long time, and it’s a chance to connect with other older adults.” Coey herself was a little skeptical of her abilities in her first class but was pleasantly surprised to learn that participants pair up with someone who wants to prepare the same recipe. “Every class has a theme and the recipes reflect that theme,” Coey said. “It’s a

A very latest technologies that BMW has to feet-up recliner in the right rear seat has a offer, combined with more advanced forms body massage feature and a multi-media of technologies already available. Sadly, a experience controlled by a removable novel driverless “self-parking” technology touch-screen tablet, which is mounted in a

clever docking feature. Got to admit, it was rear seat test drive to savour – and yes, I do love this job! BMW is pioneering a different way to improve body rigidity and reduce weight, explained Dr. Wolfgang Hundt, the Project Manager for Driving Dynamics & Driving Assistance. It uses carbon-fibre (reinforced plastic) in key (core) locations of the structure of the new 7 Series. An indicator of how strongly committed BMW is to the use of this ultra-light yet super-strong material is the expansion work (to triple production output) already in progress at its relatively new Moses Lake (Washington State) carbon-fibre manufacturing plant. I was most impressed by the balance and poise of the 750i xDrive (with an M-Sport package) on the Monticello Motor Club, in up-state New York. In Sport mode the new 7 is so wonderfully light on its feet that you can very easily forget you’re behind the wheel of a big sedan. This mode drops the standard air suspension an additional

10mm and it seems to firm-up and tighten everything. The difference between Sport and Comfort modes was quite dramatic and there’s a new one “Adaptive”. It matches the vehicle set-up to the driver’s current driving style and a profile of the route ahead, by talking to the navigation system. A redesigned optional Integral Active Steering system can now be offered in conjunction with the xDrive all-wheel drive system. It can turn the rear wheels in the same or an opposing direction as the front wheels to increase manoeuvrability in urban traffic and agility at highway speeds. The extremely rigid body structure is a ground-breaking marriage of steel, aluminum and carbon-fibre (core) members. The end result is a 7 Series with a much lower centre of gravity and close to perfect front/rear weight distribution. The 750i xDrive and 750Li xDrive editions will soon be arriving in Canadian BMW dealer showrooms. A

BMW 750i xDrive model will have a starting MSRP of $113,900, and a longwheelbase 750iL xDrive at $117,900. Pricing, which should be lower, for the 740 editions will be announced closer to market launch next year. A redesigned 4.4 litre V 8 engine with TwinPower Turbo technology can produce 445 hp and rocket a 750i to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds (according to BMW). It’s teamed with an eight-speed automatic and a new version of BMW’s intelligent allwheel-drive system in the 750i xDrive. BMW’s venerable 3.0-litre inline 6-cylinder engine, which now also features TwinPower Turbo technology, will power 740i xDrive and 740Li xDrive editions. A plug-in hybrid 740e xDrive will also join the model lineup in 2016. Its 2.0-litre gas engine is paired with electric drive unit that’s integrated into the eight-speed Steptronic transmission and it comes with a lithium-ion battery pack. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

It’s hard for some music to withstand the test of time, but the Kingston Trio is a testament to the power of music, leading a six-decade folk revival. The Grammy Award-winning 1950s folk three-piece is bringing their consistent sound to the University of Victoria’s Farquhar Auditorium on Sunday, Oct. 4, for a night

of acoustic bliss. Founded in 1957 by Bob Shane, Nick Reynolds and Dave Guard, the trio emerged from San Fransisco’s North Beach club scene to take the United States by storm. Using only acoustic guitars, banjos and catchy melodies, they revolutionized popular music and reintroduced America to its rich folk music heritage. Their hits include Tom Dooley, MTA, Scotch and Soda and Tijuana Jail, among others. The group had 14 albums break into Billboard’s top 10, five of which went to the No. 1 position. Additionally, the Kingston Trio had four albums in the Top 10

Saanich Fire Department is reminding residents that location matters when it comes to smoke alarm effectiveness. Fire Prevention Week is Oct. 4 to 10 and this year the National Fire Protection Association campaign’s main focus is “Hear the Beep Where You Sleep: Every Bedroom Needs a Working Smoke Alarm.” “In a fire, seconds count,” said Saanich Fire Chief Michael Burgess. “Half of home fire deaths result from fires reported at night between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. when most people are asleep.” The key places to install “working” smoke alarms are in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement. Research by the NFPA suggests smoke alarms reduce fire deaths by half, while stressing the

importance of ensuring the fire alarms are working. Data shows three out of five fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or instances where the smoke alarm was non-functioning. Saanich Fire has issued an additional list of suggestions to greatly reduce the threat of fire in the home: Test alarms ever month by pushing the test button; replace smoke alarms at 10 years of age or immediately if they don’t respond properly; make sure everyone in the home knows the sound of the smoke alarm and what to do when they hear it; if the smoke alarm sounds, get outside and stay outside; and lastly, report a fire to the fire department from outside the home. On Saturday, Saanich Fire Department members will attend the Home Depot Fire Safety Day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. (3986 Shelbourne St.). Saanich Fire Department members are available at any time to assist residents who may have difficulty checking, installing or maintaining their smoke alarm. On Sunday, Saanich Fire officers will be at Tillicum shopping mall for a Fire Prevention Week kickoff from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information visit saanich.ca/services/ safety/Smoke_alarms.html or firepreventionweek. org. reporter@saanichnews.com

Cook Street improvements win award Infrastructure upgrades can affect realty demand Travis Paterson News Staff

Saanich’s recently completed restoration of Cook Street from Maplewood Road north to Quadra Street has earned the Public Works Association of B.C.’s Project of the Year Award. The redesign of Cook Street, a Complete Street project, added raised bike lanes, designated parking spots (instead of boulevard parking), crosswalks and slowing features such as centre-lane garden beds. Among the esthetic improvements is an oddly placed but attractive brick-laid mini-plaza at Cook and Wicklow Street, as well as four rain gardens. The project was recognized for “successfully integrating safety, environmental and social benefits with a balance of transportation modes,” according to a release. Saanich director of engineering Harley Machielse said the district is excited about being chosen for the award It brings an added awareness to the fact that Cook Street, and the surrounding neighbourhood of Maplewood, is a desirable location with its natural geography, sizeable lots and proximity to downtown. Cook Street’s separated cycle track (which will eventually connect to more) brings an ease of mind to those who seek safe, alternative transportation routes. Machielse came to the job last year from Vancouver where he’s seen similar improvements have an impact on the area. “I’ve heard through realtors that where we put in active transportation corridors has had an impact on real estate pricing,” Machielse said. “Based on my

Traffic-calming plant boxes are a key feature of the Cook Street Complete Street project, which was awarded Project of the Year by the B.C. Public Works Association. Vancouver experience, bike routes do have an effect, buyers do look for bike routes, they can impact property values.” Saanich had completed most of the planning and neighbourhood consulting on Cook Street prior to Machielse’s arrival as it needed almost all of its infrastructure replaced. “It gave [Saanich] a rare opportunity to build a road corridor using new design principles to effectively serve

road users while enhancing the neighbourhood,” he said. One thing that went well for Saanich on the Cook Street project was the consultation of open houses and feedback. It helped shape what the street looked like. “In fact we’ll probably come back to Cook Street in the winter for some slight changes,” Machielse said. The district is particularly proud of the new street’s storm water management, with the rain gardens

and 45 new trees, as well as the full replacement of underground infrastructure. The Cook Street Complete Street won the PWABC Project of the Year Award over the other finalist, Grand Forks, with its project City Hall Fire: Devastation to Restoration. The award was presented in Penticton at the Public Works Association of B.C.’s annual convention and trade show. reporter@saanichnews.com
