May returns to Ottawa amidst a sea of red Green leader reelected as Liberals swept into majority Elizabeth May was astonished to see the red tide rise as high as it did on Monday as the incumbent Saanich-Gulf Islands MP and federal leader of the Green Party won her riding for the second consecutive election. May will be the lone Green Party representative in a Parliament that by early indications will be made up of a majority of 184 Liberals, 102 Conservatives, 41 New Democrats and 10 from the Bloc Quebecois. May was the first leader to call new Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and expressed her joy that Stephen Harper will no longer be leading the nation. Early results showed the Green Party leader earned 55 per cent of the vote in Saanich-Gulf Islands, followed by Conservative Robert Boyd (19 per cent), Liberal Tim Kane (17 per cent) and Alicia Cormier of the NDP (nine per cent). May was disappointed her party failed to gain a second seat, saying her party never recovered from being shut out of the nationally televised English language debate, which led voters to a confused position on strategic voting, the Green party’s ultimate downfall. “When the election was called I was going to be in the national

Green Party leader Elizabeth May speaks to a crowd of supporters after being re-elected as Saanich-Gulf Islands MP. English language television debate, unfortunately between Harper and [Tom] Mulcair it was cancelled,” May said. She said her appearance in the 2008 nationally televised debates saw the party’s popularity soar, but the Green Party was excluded from the conversation by the media in this campaign.
“We would have seen news coverage all campaign on all four parties, instead, we kept seeing three parties and that takes a great toll,” May said. As the campaign grew shorter, May found herself increasingly talking voters out of strategic voting, including Green supporters in her own riding, she
added. “…People saying, ‘even if you love the Green party you can’t vote Green,’ it takes it’s toll. “I had people in my own riding I had to talk out of voting for another party because they somehow thought that voting for me would help Harper. I know there’s a huge base of voters in
B.C. that wanted to vote Green and told me they couldn’t, but they all said, ‘Next time, once Harper’s gone, next time’.” Randall Garrison picked up 34 per cent of the vote to win Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke for the NDP, followed by Liberal David Merner (28 per cent), Frances Litman of the Greens (21 per cent) and Conservative Shari Lukens (17 per cent). “It’s a bittersweet moment,” said Garrison. “We’ve done very well on Vancouver Island but I wish we had done better across the country.” The NDP’s Murray Rankin was re-elected in the Victoria riding with 43 per cent of the vote. He was followed by Jo-Ann Roberts of the Green Party (33 per cent), Conservative John Rizzuti (12 per cent), while Liberal Cheryl Thomas who dropped out of the race still garnered 11 per cent of the vote. “Victoria has sent Canada a clear message. You voted for change, you rejected the politics of division and fear. You voted for a more inclusive Canada and a fairer Canada. I promise I will fight every day to incorporate those values in what I do,” he said. “I am so honoured to have served as your member of parliament over the last three years and I am deeply humbled by the trust you have shown me again tonight. I promise to work every day with every ounce of my energy to continue to merit your support and your trust.”

character in Victoria from 1914-18, the stuff of legend. Muggins the wonder dog would sit at the corner of Belleville and Government, where passersby would drop coins, or bills, into a money box hanging from his neck. He was born around 1913 and believed to be just seven years old when he died in 1920, Muggins the fluffy white spitz was stuffed, and his legend carried on. The dog wasn’t just famous, he was a treasure with a status high above that of other Victoria canines. When the pound tried to lock him up, the townspeople gathered and demanded his release. “He had a route that he would wander along and people would put money in his money box, $20,000,” said Dr. Sylvia Van Kirk, president of the Victoria Historical

Van Kirk has been uncovering the many tales of Muggins’ fundraising for a year. “He raised money for the Red Cross during the [First World] War and for the veterans’ associations and more,” she said. The retired professor of history at University of Toronto presented the story of Muggins at the Centennial Library on Oct. 16 as part of the Saanich Remembers WWI project. Muggins was the family dog of Laverne Woodward on Gorge Road. Though he was stuffed, and continued to raise money right up until the Second World War, that version of Muggins also deteriorated (the pelt
lived on and was a foot warmer on a family descendant’s bed). Van Kirk has assembled a rich gathering of newspaper articles and other Muggins-related artifacts complete with a new, stuffed likeness of Muggins the spitz. Just days prior to Friday’s gathering, Saanich’s Jean Hughes, the great niece of Woodward, came forward with eight unique medals that had been awarded to Muggins from institutions such as the American and French Red Cross, the Esquimalt Military Hospital and others.

Students have their say in federal election Travis Paterson News Staff
Alex Volchek did nothing in recent weeks to hide her excitement and passion as an organizer for Mount Douglas secondary’s student vote. But for all the positive energy Volchek eschewed, she was feeling a distinct lack of reciprocal energy by her fellow students in the ability to partake in and learn the electoral process, even if it was only a “mock election.” Safe to say, the Grade 10 student was happily surprised to see more than 250 student voters had come through the Mount Doug library by lunchtime during Friday’s national student vote, a total of 444. “I really didn’t think we’d have this many people coming in, it’s been platoons of [students], especially to see them still coming at lunchtime, this is their own time,” said Volchek. “It’s important, it’s our future, we all have to vote, nothing will change if we don’t.” Most of the student organizers for the Mount Doug student vote came from Carrie-Ann Taylor’s Grade 10 social studies class. Students take on the role of deputy returning officers and poll clerks, and cast ballots for the official election candidates. The results are tabulated nationally and by riding, and shared with media for broadcast and publication. The students were even bound to
secrecy as the vote was held Friday with the results released following Monday’s election. Studentvote.ca provides the mock election model and collates the results nationally. It also supplies classrooms with slides and other educational material. “We wanted to have all four candidates for Saanich Gulf Islands come in [to Mount Doug] but unfortunately couldn’t get them all together,” Taylor said. “Regardless, this is going to be really powerful because the students can see how their school voted and how other schools voted. The next generation of voters are seeing how each other is voting and just as important, the parties will see what the youth are voting for and what issues are important.” Mount Douglas (182, 41 per cent) and Reynolds (293, 50 per cent) both elected the Green Party’s Elizabeth May in their mock elections. May led all student votes in the riding with 2,761 (52.73 per cent), ahead of Liberal Tim Kane (1,120), NDP Alicia Cormier (618), Conservative Robert Boyd (613) and Libertarian candidate Meghan Jess Porter (a Mount Douglas grad) with 124. Studentvote.ca collected more than 850,000 votes across Canada, electing 223 Liberal candidates, 69 Conservative, 40 NDP and four Green Party including Frances Litman. reporter@saanichnews.com

Checklist aims to catch visual problems early Travis Paterson News Staff
A pair of Saanich residents are hoping everyone takes notice of a new checklist going home as a handout to the parents of Saanich kindergarteners this month. Both School District 61 and 63 already employ the B.C. Doctors of Optometry’s school program, Eye See… Eye Learn, which offers eye examinations and even a free pair of eyeglasses, if needed, to all kindergarteners. The program is underway throughout the rest of the month. However, what Saanich optometrist Cam McCrodan is really hoping is that parents won’t overlook the vision problem checklist on the back of the Eye See… Eye Learn handout, one that goes beyond
simple vision focus. “It’s important but what we don’t want is for the Eye See … Eye Learn program to give a false sense of security, it tests acuity but not efficiency,” said McCrodan, who is on the B.C. Doctors of Optometry board of directors. The new list is called a Parent’s Checklist of Vision Problems, and it describes a variety of symptoms that were previously unassociated with visual problems, such as poor posture when reading or writing, frequently watery eyes, balance issues and a lack of co-ordination. It’s caused by a lack of eye co-ordination. “One of the main things about the checklist and why we brought it in is people don’t understand all the problems vision difficulties can cause,” McCrodan said. “It creates a difficulty with paying
attention or focus, yet we don’t habitually see these behaviour as vision problems.” McCrodan focuses his optometrist practice on diagnosing visual inefficiencies. He can’t go a week, or even a day or two, without diagnosing a youth who is struggling without knowing it. “You see kids who are labelled that they’re not trying, and that’s simply not true,” he said. A great number of students who suffer from visual problems go undiagnosed and it can turn into many things, often a disinterest or misbehaviour. What’s worse, these kids are told to try harder, McCrodan said. “It’s like telling a kid with a twisted ankle to run harder. It’s heartbreaking to see the crap kids will put up with.” Getting the checklist into the hands of
parents and teachers is a big step forward, says Anita Murray-Hill. The Saanich mother has founded a non-profit, The Visual Process, after seeing her daughter’s grades and life quality suffer because of visual inefficiencies. Her daughter was able to recover, thanks to visual exercises and training. If undetected, a lack of eye co-ordination can cause symptoms that closely resemble ADD and ADHD, she said. “About seven out of 10 kids with learning disabilities are at risk of [visual] inefficiency.” The Vision Problems checklist is borrowed and adapted from an existing Ontario checklist. The Eye See… Eye Learn program is in 15 B.C. school districts. reporter@saanichnews.com

UVic braces for ‘the Big One’ with earthquake demo Jacob Zinn News Staff
Twenty seconds may not be a lot of time, but when “the Big One” hits B.C., it may be enough to get you to safety. Last week, the University of Victoria and Ocean Networks Canada hosted “Taking Action When Seconds Count,” a demonstration of ONC’s early earthquake notification technology. The not-for-profit society established by UVic hopes to use its real-time data to alert residents in the event of a high-magnitude quake, giving them a few extra precious seconds to find safety. Using hundreds of sensors on the ocean floor, the ONC can measure movements in the Earth’s tectonic plates and detect an earthquake right before it happens. “While ONC delivers the data in near real time, we need partners – federal and provincial governments, industry, academia and communities – to take that data and turn it into something that will help people before the shaking starts,” said Adrian Round, ONC’s director of observatory operations and a director of UVic’s Emergency Operations Centre. Teron Moore, a business analyst at ONC, noted B.C. is a highly active seismic region that experiences thousands of earthquakes every year, though many aren’t felt by residents. The province is also located on a subduction zone, where “megathrust” earthquakes, the largest of all earthquakes, can occur. The last recorded one in B.C. was on Jan. 26, 1700. “We know it will happen again, we just don’t know when, and now is the time to prepare,” said Moore. “When an earthquake occurs, a massive amount of energy radiates from that rupture zone outwards, from the epicentre, in a radius. This happens in the form of seismic waves.” Moore said sensitive instruments can pick up the movement of the first seismic waves and determine the magnitude and location of an impending earthquake, as well as estimates on the type of ground shaking. “While scientists cannot yet predict earthquakes, information about incoming earthquake shaking can
Jacob Zinn/News Staff
Teron Moore, a business analyst at Ocean Networks Canada, shows off a countdown clock at the not-for-profit society’s earthquake demo at the University of Victoria. ONC has sensors on the ocean floor that can detect an earthquake 20 seconds before it happens, which they say may be enough time to find safety before the tremors start. deliver benefits,” he said, “including surgeons stopping surgeries, automatically triggering bay doors at ambulance and fire halls to open, or perhaps to trigger trains to slow down and for gas lines to shut off. “Even just a few seconds of warning can allow people time to take protective actions that can save lives, reduce damage and injuries.” Oak Bay Fire Chief Dave Cockle, who also serves as the president of the B.C. Earthquake Alliance, said early earthquake notification has been used in countries that
more regularly experience earthquakes, and that B.C. should embrace the technology as it braces for some big tremors. “In the last Chilean earthquake, they had an arrangement with the telephone networks down there that when they have an earthquake in that country, the telephones go off and light up immediately to let everybody know that something is occurring,” he said. “That little bit of warning is just enough for you to drop, cover and hold on.”

SAANICH NEWS - Wednesday, October 21, 2015
LETTERS Saanich needs to take a new approach with EDPA I am a registered professional biologist and Saanich homeowner. In my career I worked on conserving wildlife habitat, species at risk and ecosystems at risk. I strongly support maintaining biological diversity. I am also a strong supporter of landowners’ rights. I believe the two have to be balanced. The Environmental Development Permit Area issue has become extremely polarized. It need not be. We need to find a co-operative approach where ecological values and landowners’ rights can both be maintained. All stakeholders need their opinions heard. A report by Dr. Peter Pearse, commissioned by then federal environment minister David Anderson for the Federal Species at Risk Act, indicates: “...we live in a society today where, if an individual suffers losses because of undertakings carried out in the public interest, the public interest requires that the individual be compensated.” The report goes on to say that the federal government’s preferred approach to protecting habitats was to engage the voluntary efforts of landowners through incentive and stewardship programs. Where mandatory restrictions are necessary these would be done through landowner
compensation. Saanich’s recent declaration of the right to a healthy environment states, “Ensure equitable distribution of environmental benefits and burdens within the municipality.” Voluntary actions to protect ecological features are far better supported than mandatory restrictions. Many Saanich residents already have a deep love for their properties and this needs to be encouraged and promoted. There are conservation groups, such as Habitat Acquisition Trust (HAT), that work with great success in the Victoria area to encourage and support landowners in protecting and enhancing special features on their properties. There needs to be a clear vision for the EDPA bylaw that defines what the district is attempting to accomplish over the longer term and exactly how this will occur. All residents need to understand how their property fits the vision. The vision and actions required in the EDPA need to be scientifically defensible, with documented proof that such actions, such as restoration, can be successfully
A defining moment
Stuck in the mud
Underlying what Kristen Miskelly regurgitates about threatened species and the EDPA in your Oct. 9 issue is an erroneous definition of species. Note her “in our region” qualifier to Garry oak ecosystems – as though what grows nearby on the south side of the Strait of Juan de Fuca are not Garry oaks. Indeed, those trees grow south into California, they are common in the middle of their range (Oregon, according to the Canadian government’s SARA database). Miskelly omits that many of the Garry oak meadow and savannah configurations were created by humans several hundred years ago. They felled trees with fire to create open areas and interface shrubbery on the periphery. That fostered growth of plants, birds and animals that they harvested for food, clothing and shelter. But worshippers of Garry oaks include the result of that early farming in what they claim are threatened ecosystems, while attacking later human activity. Miskelly also omits that Garry oak is a transitional species, normally supplanted by Douglas fir as happened in Metchosin. Tribal farmers prevented that by periodically burning open areas, which eliminated new trees. Kristen Miskelly bashes Mayor Atwell, but I think she should look in her mirror and ask why she thinks that species stop at a line on a piece of paper, why she is paranoid about criticism, and why she uses a false definition of species to promote taking away what people have earned. Keith Sketchley Saanich
Perhaps Kirsten Miskelly after being involved with environmental issues should be reminded of the earth-related adage: “The more mud you throw, the more ground you lose.” In her Oct. 9 letter, the mud was flying through the air at lightning speed by the shovelful. (Saanich residents are still cleaning off the mud splatters, what a mess.) No doubt it will be some time before all that mud is cleaned up and the inevitable resultant dust finally settles down. But hey, look at the bright side – all

accomplished in local ecosystems. Are there sites in Saanich, or nearby, where restoration has occurred that the District of Saanich is trying to emulate? What are the associated costs and the time required? Saanich Parks need to be a major component of the EDPA solution. The parks department needs to be provided with sufficient funding to do restoration on their special areas, such as Garry oak woodland, which are rapidly becoming overrun with invasive species, especially invasive grasses. I believe that there is a place for an EDPA bylaw. However, it has to be carefully crafted, and even more carefully implemented. Implementation has to come with clear rules that landowners understand before these rules are applied to their properties. The new bylaw needs to encourage positive actions for the environment such as removal of invasive species and planting native species. We need an EDPA bylaw that all residents of Saanich can embrace. We need to work co-operatively towards this. Ted Lea Saanich

Police warrant praise As part of the Leadership Victoria Program I am enrolled in this fall and winter I had the privilege of going on a ride-along with one of the officers of your police department for an evening. So often we only hear negative things about the work they do; what I saw tonight definitely gives me faith that there are still many
great police officers out there doing a difficult job. It was a privilege to have a front-row seat as I watched all of them interact with the youth in a firm but respectful manner. I watched what they have to put up with and still keep your cool and I am sure things get worse as the night wears on. I watched passion and compassion in action, it was obvious their heart is in it. Next time you see an officer, take the time to say thank you; they deserve it. Marja Blase Shawnigan Lake

Collection of Muggins artifacts comes to light Continued from Page A2
“It’s very exciting to have such a find,” Van Kirk said. “We’re very lucky to have so much of his storied archived from past newspaper stories and obituaries [by UVic].” Hughes also turned in the 95-year-old letters that came with the medals. It’s likely the collection will be left in the care of Saanich Archives located within Centennial Library. “I had heard of Muggins but I didn’t know too much,” said Hughes. One of the most revealing photos to come forward is of Muggins
meeting the Prince of Wales in 1919. He’s also been photographed with Sir Arthur Currie and in a special War Veterans’ fund raising stand built just for Muggins at the corner of Belleville and Government, following the First World War. “He greeted the pacific liners and other dignitaries when they visited,” Van Kirk said. “When [the Second World War] started, his “display case” went back into the window to raise money once again.

As expected, the Capital Regional District board of directors approved the Regional Housing Trust Fund grant of $675,000 towards the Cottage Grove Manor 45-unit senior living development at 3211-3223 Quadra St. The project is led by the Victoria Cool-Aid Society and the B.C. Housing Management Commission. Cool-Aid has been relying on the $675,000 as part of its budget for the project, which will shelter homeless and at-risk seniors. The approval came at the same Oct. 14 board meeting that the CRD received the comprehensive Capital Region Housing Data Book and Gap Analysis. The report is bursting with visual graphics that represent the household income required for shelter and how it relates to housing supply in the region. “There is a growing demand for available and affordable housing for our elderly population,” said Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen, chair of the CRD board. “Cottage Grove is an excellent example of organizations working together to provide residents the opportunity to continue to live independently.” Cool-Aid has contributed $1 million, Victoria and Saanich are each contributing $112,000, and CMHC another $10,000. Cool-Aid aims to charge $375 per month for the 45 units and cover the operating costs of the building. Construction of the new facility is expected to begin before the end of the year and be completed within a year of commencement.

Ukrainian-Canadians cook up some family fun Borscht Fest coming to Saanich on Nov. 7
A group of local Ukrainian-Canadians have set out to prove that no two batches of borscht are alike. To put that theory to the test, the second
annual Borscht Fest Victoria will be coming to Saanich on Nov. 7. The event runs from noon to 2:30 p.m. at the Ukrainian Cultural Centre, 3277
Douglas St. The Borscht Fest resembles a chill cookoff, except using the Ukrainian soup that is traditionally made with beets.
Our Biggest Eyewear Sale Of The Year
The second annual Borscht Fest provides an opportunity for Victoria cooks to show off their culinary skills and compete for the title of “Best Borscht in Town.” “Last year’s Borscht Fest was so much fun – who knew so many people liked borscht? – we decided to do it again this year,” said Maria Koropecky, Borscht Fest planning committee chair. “And now St. Nicholas Church has teamed up with the Ukrainian Cultural Centre to make our Borscht Fest event even better.” To enter the competition, you first need to register and then make three
gallons of borscht from scratch and bring it in a crock pot to the Ukrainian Cultural Centre on the day of the festival where you can hand out samples. “Borscht is not just for Ukrainians,” said Koropecky. “You can find all kinds of unique versions of borscht in many other countries and we’d like to encourage and invite all borscht lovers to participate in the Borscht Fest.” To register and book a table, call Maria at 250-812-3487 by Oct. 25. The registration fee is $15. For borscht lovers whose cooking skills aren’t quite up to snuff, you can still
head down to Borscht Fest and vote for your favourite. Admission is $10. Borscht Fest is a fundraiser for medical and humanitarian aid for the people of Ukraine. Last year’s Borscht Fest raised $1,948 for a charity called Caritas Canada. “As a daughter of Ukrainian immigrants, borscht is very near and dear to my heart,” said Koropecky. “And given what is going on in Ukraine these days, I thought a Borscht Fest would be a great way to show support and give back.” For more information, visit the group’s Facebook page at Facebook.com/ BorschtFestVictoria.

Cycling team lands charitable status Travis Paterson News Staff
If Jon Watkin does his job right, one or more of the teenage cyclists of the Accent Inns/Russ Hays cycling team will one day ride in the world championships or Olympics. Watkin is the manager of the Accent Inns/Russ Hays cycling team, a team that in the past few years has redefined itself as a youth development opportunity for South Island and Western Canadian cyclists aged 17 to their mid-20s. Last week the team qualified to join the National Sport Trust Fund and can now accept tax-deductible donations to fund its efforts to develop amateur cycling in Western Canada. “When we first started this team we were a bike shop team, a group of top cyclists in town getting together and racing,” Watkin said. “But then when Curtis Dearden won the 2013 national time trial, we got a lot of interest, people were asking, who is this team.” Since that time the team has had multiple applications from interested cyclists from as far as Manitoba. In addition to Dearden’s national gold medal, in which he joined the ranks of Tour de France cyclists Ryder Hesjedal and Svein Tuft, Accent Inns/Russ Hays’ rider Cody Cannning added to that lore with multiple successes. Canning, of Saanich, won the 2014 UCI Pro Challenge Sprint in Quebec, the 2015 B.C. criterium, and was picked to race on Team Canada’s entry to the Tour of Alberta in 2014. In 2015, Accent Inns/Russ Hays rider Danick Vandale won the Western Canada Summer Games time trial gold medal. Dearden, who was the team’s oldest cyclist and the only one in his 30s, was an exception. But he’s stepping away to focus on family and career. Canning will be the oldest cyclist at 26, Watkin said. “We are not pushing the team in [the youth] direction, it’s taken its own direction. In the world of cycling development, most government money
goes to track, mountain bike and BMX ... As far as road, there’s no development programs for these young talented amateur racers.” A lot of youth cyclists are left to their own devices to self fund and find sponsors or find a team to help them get to the next level, Watkin said. The 2016 team will feature nine riders and plans to visit Washington, Oregon, California and the 2016 Canadian national championships in Ottawa and Gatineau.

College alumni bring Rocky Horror to local stage Jennifer Blyth Black Press
Photo submitted
RKO Productions reprises its production of the Rocky Horror Show Oct. 22 to 31 at the Metro Theatre. From left: Candace Woodland as Columbia, Griffin Lea as Dr. Frank N’ Furter and Jana Morrison as Magenta.
You might say that if it weren’t for the Canadian College of Performing Arts, locals might not be able to enjoy this Halloween’s stage production of that camp-theatre favourite, the Rocky Horror Show. Mounted for the second year by Rebel Knock Out Productions, three of the four founding members of RKO attended the Canadian College of Performing Arts. Actress Candace Woodland is a founding member of RKO along with CCPA grads Sarah Anne Murphy and Kelly Hudson, and
Griffin Lea, who plays Dr. Frank N’ Furter. The work ethic and diverse skills taught at CCPA are evident in RKO’s work. In addition to Woodland’s multiple hats, including playing the Time Warp-dancing Columbia, Murphy, who plays Janet Weiss, is also choreographer, while Hudson, who plays Riff Raff, is production manager. Other CCPA alumni in the cast include Jana Morrison, as Magenta, R.J. Peters, as Brad Majors, and John Han, who plays a Phantom and is the music director. “You could definitely say that RKO wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for the wonderful connections we all

made at the CCPA,” says Woodland, who had performed in Kaleidoscope’s Rocky Horror production with Lea several years ago. “I think to me it’s different from classic musical theatre but it’s also the most inclusive show I’ve performed in with the relationship between the actors and the audience,” Woodland says, pointing to the audience interaction with call-outs and props that has developed around Rocky Horror. “Last year the energy and mood of the audience really directed the kind of show we put on.” The 183-seat Metro Theatre also plays a

Paco Pena brings his new show Flamencura to the Farquhar Auditorium Oct. 25.
Flamenco troupe hits Farquhar The sights and sounds of Spain will fill the University of Victoria’s Farquhar Auditorium later this month. Paco Peña brings his new show Flamencura to the University Centre Oct. 25 at 7:30 p.m. “We’re excited to present his newest show and to be working with our longtime partners, Global Arts to bring Paco Peña’s worldrenowned flamenco troupe to Victoria,” said Farquhar director Ian Case, adding Peña last appeared in Victoria in 2009. Known worldwide for his contributions to, and explorations of, flamenco music, Peña embodies both authenticity and innovation in flamenco. As a guitarist, composer, dramatist, producer and artistic mentor, he has transformed perceptions of this archetypal Spanish art form. Since 1970 Peña’s company of dancers, guitarists and singers have graced the world’s most prestigious stages in a succession of groundbreaking shows. America’s Guitar magazine judged Paco Peña Best Flamenco Guitarist of the Year for five consecutive years. Flamencura explores that elusive state at the core of the art of flamenco.

What is clean eating all about?
C
lean eating is a growing trend among people focused on health and wellness. A relatively simple concept of selecting foods that are minimally processed, clean eating intends to instill a greater understanding of the pathway between a food’s origins and the final products that end up on grocery store shelves and dinner tables. Choosing whole or “real” foods that are as close to their natural forms as possible is a staple of clean eating. The availability of convenience food products has never been greater, and not all packaged foods are unhealthy. But clean eating encourages consumers to be more aware of the ingredients in the foods they eat while selecting those foods that are minimally processed. Many foods designated as “clean,” including vegetables and fruits, whole grains, free-range meats, low-fat dairy products, unsalted nuts, and whole seeds, are straight from the farm. Another component of clean eating is eliminating or greatly reducing the consumption of refined sugar. Many people can get all the energy they need by consuming foods with natural sugars. If an ingredient list includes names you cannot recognize or if the natural form of the food has been changed (i.e. removing the bran from whole grains), it cannot be included in a clean-eating plan. Also, foods that have a lot of additives, including salt, sugar and fat, are not classified as clean. Not all food processing is bad. Processing is sometimes necessary to prevent pathogens that can lead to illness. For example, pasteurizing milk

is a processing method, but one that is necessary to stop the proliferation of bacteria. Even steaming foods is processing in some form, but it is not on par with some of the overly processed foods available. Increasing intake of fruits and vegetables can boost your immune system and serve as a nutritious way to maintain a healthy weight. Those interested in clean eating can begin slowly. Start to introduce more fresh fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and farm-fresh foods into your diet. Look for foods in their natural form, such as whole oats and other grains. Avoid highly refined ingredients and limit sugar and salt intake. Opt for fresh herbs and spices to season food. Over time you can make other changes. Adopting a clean-eating approach to their diet is a great way for men and women to start living healthy lifestyles. Speak with a doctor or nutritionist about healthy and effective ways to transition to clean eating.

Rawthentic: fast food for healthy people
J
ust because there’s a chill in the air doesn’t mean you’re eating choices have to be limited. Rawthentic Eatery may be known for making smoothies, juices and salads. But the vegan restaurant also has plenty available on the menu to take the chill out of a frosty day.
“We dehydrate and marinate vegetables everyday for our soups and wraps, which warms and softens them while trapping in flavour and health,” said Rawthentic’s Bill Hadikin. The Coconut Thai Soup is the most popular on Rawthentic’s menu, the hot water is added to the soup base and warm vegetables when it is ordered. Hadikin says this allows the customer “to have the healthiest soup while still being hot versus overcooked soups that sit around all day. All our soups are done this way.” The ‘no gluten, just gratitude’ wraps are made with vegetables and ground flax seed, then dehydrated to trap in nutrition. “We fill those wraps with warm marinated veggies, hot basmati brown rice, greens and restaurant made fresh sauces,” said Hadikin. The Chipotle Burrito Wrap, Curry Wrap and Philly Cheeze Wrap are the most popular. Hadikin views Rawthentic as fast food for healthy people. “As a vegan restaurant we pride ourselves on a making the dishes quickly and affordably, while having it taste great.” He said Rawthentic’s food has to taste good to get on the menu, adding ‘it doesn’t matter how good something is for you if it tastes like bark.’ One of the things Hadikin likes most about his job is seeing the look of surprise on a customer’s face when they realize healthy food can taste good. Hadikin said, “The joy this food brings to people as they reverse disease, lose weight and gain health is the most rewarding part of my work.”

T
here’s nothing like a roaring fire on a cold winter’s night. But before you gather the family around the flickering flames, you should make sure your chimney is in proper working order. The Saanich Fire Department recommends you have your chimney professionally checked once a year and cleaned when necessary. “We have WETT certification (wood energy technical training) which means we have had training to sweep your chimney properly,” said Andrew Simpson with Aero Furnace Duct and Chimney Cleaning. “We also can diagnose problems with your wood burning system and repair any issues you may have.” When wood is burned in a fireplace with a properly working chimney, the smoke is drawn up the chimney and into the outside air. Particles in the smoke – called soot or creosote – are deposited on the inside of the chimney and fireplace. Creosote is flammable. When a sufficient amount

builds up in a chimney, a fire hazard exists and the chimney needs to be cleaned. “Preventative maintenance is the key to eliminate the threat of a chimney fire,” said Simpson. A dirty chimney may also not draw well. This causes smoke to drift or billow into the room when a fire is lit. Aero is also the place to turn for your duct cleaning needs, as the company doesn’t have pervent charges or other additional costs tacked onto the bill.
“We don’t upsale our clients and we never send a sales man to your house to sell you unnecessary items. We send technicians there to do the job right,” said Simpson, adding he loves the great conversations he gets to have with his customers. Aero Furnace Duct and Chimney Cleaning is once again a finalist for the Vancouver Island Better Business Bureau Torch Award. “With our pricing model and our wonderful staff we’ve grown over the last eight years to four vehicles on the road,” said Simpson. “We couldn’t have grown with out our wonderful staff who take the time to listen to the customer and do a real good job.”

P
ainting may be his passion, but Glen Smethurst didn’t always do what he loved for a living.
Up until last September, Smethurst – the managing director of Van Isle Paint – served as the chief marketing officer for Campus Support, Canada’s largest education company. He excelled at sales and marketing, and that translated to high pay and social status.
“
We’re building something that is so valuebased. It’s not about bottom line revenue, it’s really about customer satisfaction. – Glen Smethurst Van Isle Paint
“We’re building something that is so valuebased. It’s not about bottom line revenue, it’s really about customer satisfaction,” he said.
But despite his success in the corporate world, he felt something was missing from his life. “I just looked at these people and I couldn’t do it anymore,” he recalled. “The money was good, but there was just no destiny. I only saw things going backwards.”
waterfront condo in Vancouver and a brand new vehicle to return to the island and pursue Van Isle Paint with his brother – and to him, it was worth it.
He left Campus Support to help set up the IPO and marketing of a publicly traded operating and investment company. He was offered a lateral salary and shares in the company, but again, something was missing.
“Everything that most people chase in life I had to just let go,” he said. “What my brother had was real, and I just wanted to be a part of something real again.”
“There were certain things that I just noticed that were very corporate and very cookie cutter to the last enterprise that I was in,” he said. “There were just some core values that I wasn’t aligning with.” Then, his brother, Clint Kennedy – a foreman for some of the larger painting companies in Victoria – called with an opportunity that ultimately pulled him out of the corporate rat race. He had a business plan for his own painting company, but he needed support to get it off the ground. “It took me about three months but Clint’s vision was the only thing that, in the core of me, I could align with,” said Smethurst. Smethurst gave up a six-figure salary, a
According to Smethurst, they have yet to raise an estimate, even when they’ve had to put a third coat on the walls to get the job done right. And, unlike the disconnect between executives and their clientele, Smethurst has been able to work with their customers one on one to determine, meet and exceed their painting needs.
“Of all these big deals, this small idea that Clint’s got in Victoria made the most sense to me. It was the most accurate, it was the most value-based, it had the most integrity to it.” Van Isle Paint takes a different approach to their industry: they rarely take deposits, they don’t collect until usually three to five days after a job has been finished, and they are often more affordable than their competitors. “In Fairfield, we did a dormer job there. The lowest quote was $12,000 – ours was $2,583,” said Smethurst. “It’s very much an unregulated market and it’s kind of a free-for-all.” “When you’re dealing with this type of population, they’re very trustworthy people. We just want to make sure this market is respected.”
“As a small business owner, the one thing Clint and I sort of kick ourselves in the rear end on is why didn’t we do this sooner?” Van Isle Paint has a team of 10 full-time employees and offers competitive wages and a benefits package for painters and foremen, with yearly reviews and room for advancement. Smethurst said he and his brother do what they can to give back to their constituents and ensure they enjoy their jobs. “I look at what I’ve done in one year with my brother. We’ve been able to instill the values, we’re training these guys, I believe we’re making people better because of the example we’re able to lead by,” said Smethurst. “We are making a difference in people’s lives.” For more information about Van Isle Paint, visit vanislepaint.com.

Deer stewards approach Saanich Vaccine proposed to control Saanich’s deer population News Staff
A citizen-led non-profit is asking the District of Saanich to consider supporting the use of birth control to maintain or reduce the local deer population. On Monday, the Urban Wildlife Stewardship Society gave a presentation to council, offering “an alternative program to lethal culls of deer.” The pilot project would use a Spay-Vac, an experimental immunocontraceptive vaccine, to introduce a foreign protein into female deer that prevents fertilization. If permitted, the UWSS would trap, vaccinate, tag and release 25 deer and analyze the vaccine’s effect on the birthrate of fawns. “We seek to control and possibly reduce deer numbers, to inform the public about urban deer, to gather biological facts about these deer, to reduce neighbour versus neighbour unrest and to reduce conflicts between deer and drivers,” said Bryan Gates, president of the society. Gates said the vaccine is more humane than culling and a single dose can be effective for up to five or six years. PLEASE SEE: A6 Consider contraception, UWSS

ood old-fashioned service has helped make Pepper’s a fixture in the community for more than a quarter century.
“As a truly independent, family business, we can offer hands on customer service on every level and we offer a greater diversity of local products,” said general manager Cory Davits. “We have no one to answer to but ourselves.” The Cadboro Bay grocery store supports numerous local schools churches and programs with its rebate program. Pepper’s is currently in the midst of donating four buddy benches to local schools. Davits said programs such as that are something that resonate throughout the store and with its employees. “The close-knit community and family atmosphere makes coming to work everyday a pleasure,” he said. Pepper’s recently earned a bronze medal in the small-surface category at the Independent Grocer Awards. The category is open to grocery stores across Canada with less than 15,000 square feet of space. The award recognizes Pepper’s for its community engagement and ongoing efforts to serve customers in the area. “This year is big for us because we’ve kind

Bigger stores, bigger chains, so since then, we hadn’t really taken any awards home.” Up through 2005, Pepper’s – which is only 4,000 square feet – medalled five times in six years at the Independent Grocer Awards in the same category. While the pool of competitors increased, Zaichkowsky said their latest win confirms that they’re doing something right. “Ten years ago, when we had the smaller category, the competition wasn’t as intense.

For more than 30 years, Pepper’s has been owned by John Davits, with his son, Cory, working as general manager. Prior to that, the store was called Shop Easy and was owned by John Pepper, after whom Davits named the current store. Zaichkowsky said the family-run Pepper’s has been a staple of Cadboro Bay and credited the store’s friendly staff and local products as a few of the reasons why the community has been so loyal to it. “Any time a local vendor or distributor approaches us with a local product, we’re all ears and open to carrying their product,” he said. “It’s always nice to be acknowledged. We’re excited by the fact that doing what we’re doing is getting such a great response.”

Dodd House is Saanich’s oldest surviving home Near the playing fields of Lambrick Park in Gordon Head sits a small house, framed by a white picket fence. It was built when Vancouver Island was a colony and the Fraser River gold rush was fueling land speculation in Saanich. Built in 1859-60 for Captain Charles Dodd as a country retreat on 276 acres of wilderness, Dodd House is Caroline Duncan the oldest surviving Saanich History home in Saanich and the municipality’s first designated heritage building. Dodd was an officer in the Hudson’s Bay Company and had arrived on the NW Coast from England in 1836 aboard the Beaver. He served as second mate on the voyage and would later become the ship’s captain. While at Fort Vancouver on the Columbia River in 1842, Dodd married Grace McTavish, the youngest daughter of John George McTavish, a high-ranking HBC officer, and Nancy McKenzie (also known by her Indigenous name Matooskie). The ceremony was conducted by a Catholic missionary and witnessed by James Douglas.

Dodd House was built in 1859-60 for Charles and Grace Dodd while he worked as an officer for the Hudson’s Bay Company. Dodd’s fur-trade activities took him to remote forts in the north, and the family’s first child was born at Fort Stikine in 1843. Other children soon followed at Fort Simpson and Fort Victoria. By 1858 the Dodds lived in a large house on Cormorant Street but when the gold rush transformed Victoria into a tent city of 20,000
miners, the family retreated to the quiet of Gordon Head. On the southwest corner of Section 84 they constructed a simple one-storey house, complete with a parlour, sitting room and two bedrooms. Redwood tongue-and-groove boards were brought from California to line the interior walls
and the 12-foot ceilings. In 1860, tragedy struck with the sudden death of Charles Dodd. With the Dodd sons then sent to England to be educated and the eldest daughters married, Grace was left alone at the house. In 1863 she was fined in court for harbouring five deserters from the British ship Haversham at
the property. The following year she married an Englishman named Alfred Gorridge who had come to Vancouver Island in 1851 aboard the Tory as a labourer for the HBC. He had earlier been charged with the drunken assault of a Saanich man and after his marriage to Grace attempted to sell the property held in trust for the Dodd children. Following Grace’s death in 1881, the Gordon Head property was subdivided. The house retained 10 acres and became home to the Pollock family in 1891. The Pollocks lived in Dodd House for more than 25 years and were among the residents to petition for the incorporation of Saanich in 1906. During the Depression and Second World War, the house was occupied by the Mellin family. It was during their occupancy that running water, electricity and phone service came to Dodd House. Further subdivisions left the colonial-era home clinging to a small lot, surrounded by larger homes. In 1978, Dodd House was threatened with demolition and moved to Lambrick Park for preservation. The house is now managed by the Saanich Heritage Foundation and rental income helps to pay for its maintenance. Caroline Duncan is the archivist at Saanich Archives.

B.C. drivers facing higher insurance premiums ICBC rate hike means $60 more a year for average driver Jeff Nagel Black Press
The Insurance Corp. of B.C. has decided to raise basic auto insurance premiums by 5.5 per cent, driving up the annual cost by more than $44 for the average driver. And a further jump in optional premiums for coverage like thirdparty liability will add nearly $16, for an annual increase of about $60 on average. The basic premium increase is less than the 6.7 per cent jump ICBC had warned in August might be required as a result of rapidly rising injury claims and the resulting payouts. The hit is lower in part because the province has approved an unusual $450-million transfer of capital from ICBC’s optional insurance business to the basic insurance side.
There’s been growing financial pressure on the basic side, while ICBC has had more wriggle room in recent years to actually decrease rates on its optional side, where it does not hold a monopoly and competes with private insurers. But officials say optional costs are now also on the rise because optional third-party liability insurance covers injury payouts over $200,000. Adrian Dix, the NDP’s critic on ICBC, noted the average driver will be paying nearly 30 per cent more in basic premiums than they did when Christy Clark became premier in 2011. “Overall what we’re talking about is a major, major increase in rates for the average motorist,” said Dix, who lays part of the blame on management decisions at ICBC and trouble with the rollout of its new computer system. He noted the provincial government has not opted to forgo the $160-million annual dividend it extracts each year
basic rate hike to 5.2 per cent, Stone said. That 0.3 per cent reduction would have been “negligible” in terms of impact on customers, he said, but would “blow a pretty significant hole” in the province’s budget. He called the $450-million transfer a one-time shift that can’t be repeated next year because there won’t be enough excess capital on the optional side. ICBC officials also said they’re stepping up efforts to combat exaggerated and fraudulent claims. A new fraud analytics tool is to be deployed early next year to use data, algorithms and statistical methods to quickly flag patterns and high predictors of fraud early in the claims process. ICBC projects bodily injury claims costs will hit $2.3 billion this year, up from $2.17 billion in 2014. Those costs are up 64 per cent since 2008. The number of injury claims are up about 11 per cent from the previous year. Another basic rate hike is guaranteed
from ICBC’s optional side. “They’re not sacrificing,” Dix said. “They’re doing a double dip on the optional side.” Canadian Taxpayers Federation spokesman Jordan Bateman said the continued flow of dividends to the government is particularly frustrating. “Despite the fact we get gouged for more money each year, the government continues to suck all the profits out and puts them into general revenue,” Bateman said. “We have a government that talks about affordability but erodes it when it comes to ICBC rates that continually jump higher than the rate of inflation.” Transportation Minister Todd Stone said more than 80 per cent of motorists use ICBC for both basic and optional coverage and they are paying only 13 per cent more than in 2011 after recent optional rate cuts are taken into account. Forgoing the annual dividend to government would have only trimmed the
next year. The province’s rate smoothing policy requires each new year’s rates be no more than 1.5 per

Court upholds B.C. drunk driving penalties Jeff Nagel Black Press
201-3749 Shelbourne Street Victoria 250.477.7234 Home | Life | Auto | Travel | Marine | Business
Canada’s top court has upheld B.C.’s tough system of roadside penalties for impaired drivers, including vehicle impoundments, stiff fines and immediate 90-day licence suspensions. The Supreme Court of Canada handed down twin judgments Friday that back key elements of the provincial government’s policy after it was challenged by motorists. Justices said there was “no doubt” automatic roadside prohibitions are within the province’s jurisdiction and a valid regulatory measure. They rejected the argument of opponents that the penalties effectively create an offence that requires a right to a fair trial, not an instant decision by police after a failed blood-alcohol reading on a portable device. The court found the

B.C. The amount of time and money expended on drunk driving cases in the courts and by police is down because of the nearly 70 per cent drop in impaired charges. Police still pursue criminal charges in cases of injury or death due to drunk driving. Defence lawyers have criticized the immediate roadside prohibitions as a de facto decriminalization of most cases of impaired driving. Although drivers who are caught and punished at roadside face stiff sanctions, they do not usually risk an impaired driving conviction and criminal record. Also before the courts was the constitutionality of the compulsory demand to provide a breath sample or face roadside penalties. A majority of Supreme Court justices said the original 2010 provision did violate the Charter of Rights protection against unlawful search and seizure. The province amended its law in 2012 to allow drivers who fail a roadside breath test to take a second test – the lowest of the two readings is used – and
created a process for them to appeal driving prohibitions. “Our belief is that the amendments our government made in June 2012 already address the constitutional issues noted in the court’s decision,” B.C. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said. It’s not yet clear if drivers penalized in the first two years of the program could be compensated. Anton welcomed the ruling, adding immediate roadside prohibitions have been “very effective” and have saved an estimated 260 lives over the past five years. “People are learning from them, they’re not drinking and driving as much,” Anton said. “As soon as you blow that warn or that fail you will be penalized. And that is what deters people from drinking and driving. That’s what keeps our roads safe.” Defence lawyers intend to continue to challenge elements of the B.C. law that were not addressed by the top court. About 18,000 roadside prohibitions are issued each year and about two per cent are successfully challenged through the review process.
