Thousands of trees being removed along Watkiss Way Travis Paterson News Staff

Saanich has confirmed issuing a permit to remove upwards of 4,900 trees on the 12-hectare property along Watkiss Way, directly north of the Victoria General Hospital. Doug Henderson, director of parks and recreation at the District of Saanich, can’t recall a tree removal as significant in his time with the municipality. “We understand the scope of it but it doesn’t change the legislation or bylaw that we have to follow,” Henderson said. It’s the latest chapter in the story of the

Watkiss Way saga, which has gained plenty of attention for its potential as a sewage treatment site and a park. Because 11 of the 12 hectares are within the Agricultural Land Reserve, there was no stopping owner Allen Vandekerkhove from receiving the tree removal permit, which he says will make way to farm, likely hay. The permit application originally came to Saanich in October 2014. Saanich asked for additional info, such as some clarity on the area of trees and an indication that soils in that area could sustain a crop. The owner, Vandekerkhove, brought those to Saanich in October 2015 and received the permit.

But others, such as Mayor Richard Atwell, are hoping there is still a chance to rescue the property, and some of the trees, for a better purpose than crops. Vanderkerkove also owns the surrounding properties and said earlier this year he’s open to either selling or leasing the land to the Capital Regional District to house its wastewater treatment and biosolids processing facilities. Vandekerkhove and Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins originally asked the CRD to consider the site as a potential sewage site in 2013 but that didn’t take. In June 2015, Saanich council voted 5-4 against Atwell’s motion to forward the property

to the CRD, so the latter could add it to their long list of potential treatment sites and pump stations. When Atwell brought it back to council in July for reconsideration, it was again voted down as a potential site for CRD to review. Atwell, who was a CRD sewage critic with the RITE Plan prior to becoming mayor, believes farming the property is Plan B for the Vandekerhoves. “He spent $100,000 of his money on a (sewage site) proposal to bring to Saanich,” Atwell said. “Council should have been looking at all the options, the impacts of all the decisions, and the community should have been involved in the process.”

First responders roll up their sleeves for blood services Dan Ebenal News Staff

Saanich’s first responders know what it’s like to be relied upon by the community in times of crisis. Last week four of Saanich’s finest rolled up their sleeves to once again respond to the community’s need. It may not technically be a crisis, but there is always a critical need for blood in Greater Victoria and around the province. To answer that call, members of the Saanich police and fire departments stopped by Canadian Blood Services to donate their blood. “We are forever counting on that people have donated blood and now we want to support that ourselves. We see on a daily basis how much it’s needed,” said Const. Dani Frohloff with Saanich Police. “I actually have a dual purpose here today because it’s Random Acts of Kindness Day. Number 65 on the list is donating blood, so we’re doing both today.” Capt. Jerry Tomljenovic with Saanich Fire said donating blood is one of the most important gifts you can give to not only improve health but save lives.

Dan Ebenal/News Staff

Capt. Jerry Tomljenovic with Saanich Fire donates blood with the help of Hope Strang from Canadian Blood Services. “Day in and day out, we see the effects of what trauma can do and the benefits of having a steady supply of blood. It’s a very efficient process and a

very worthwhile cause,” said Tomljenovic. The firefighters and police officers stopped by Canadian Blood Services at the culmination

of their Sirens For Life campaign. During the campaign, blood donors are given the opportunity to say thanks to first responders for the important work they do.

“We’ve created a wall of thanks. It’s just message from donors to say thank you to our first responders,” said Ann Chabert, territory manager with Canadian Blood Services. Canadian Blood Services needs about 170,000 additional donors per year to maintain the national blood supply. “The need for blood is the same in every community. The need is every day, we need donors every day,” said Chabert. It can take up to 50 donors to help a single motor vehicle accident victim. And while about half of all Canadians are eligible to give blood, last year only one in 60 eligible donors made a commitment to give. Sgt. Steve Eassie said first responders know the life-saving impact blood donations can have and are happy to answer the call to raise awareness. “It’s a reminder to us as well that if we’re able to we should be coming in to donate blood,” he said. Blood donations can be made at Canadian Blood Services (3449 Saanich Rd.) Tuesday through Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and every other Saturday (next on Nov. 21) from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Environmentalist critical of ALR’s policy for tree removal Travis Paterson News Staff

The incentives to remove trees from the Agricultural Land Reserves are counterintuitive to climate change and need to be revisited, says a local champion of sustainability. Director Adam Taylor of Habitat Acquisition Trust, which documented the loss of 300 hectares of Saanich tree canopy from 2006 to 2011, says ALR rules overlook the importance of trees and natural areas.

“There needs to be incentives within the ALR to preserve tree cover, in addition to the incentives in the ALR to remove it,” Taylor said. “As long as trees remain, they’re paying higher taxes.” The news of 4,900 trees coming down from Allen Vandekerkove’s Saanich ALR property – 12 hectares – along Watkiss Way spurred many responses this week, such as Taylor’s. The way the ALR rules are now, if a herd of sheep is on two hectares and the other 15 hectares of that ALR farm is forest land, the farmer is encouraged to clear cut the

trees to qualify for the reduced farm tax rate on all 17 hectares, Taylor added. “That’s a broken system. In terms of climate change, trees are carbon sponges and it’s going to take 60 to 100 years to replace those trees as the effective carbon sponges that they are now.” The Vandekerkhove property is not going to have a global impact, but it will have a regional one, according to Taylor, who isn’t commenting on Vandekerkhove’s decision. “In general, [HAT’s] concern with the ALR is it’s not just protecting farm land

but encouraging natural areas transition into farmland for no particular agricultural reason,” said Taylor. “When you lose a big chunk of trees that’s a large amount of natural water retention gone.” The natural wetland neighbouring the Watkiss Way property will accrue a great amount more water, an issue that View Royal would then have to engineer a solution for. “Certainly, the Agricultural Land Commission needs to recognize the value of tree cover.”

Event puts girls on course towards programming Jacob Zinn News Staff

OF N FER OV E 30 ND TH S

St. Margaret’s may have science labs, two gyms, a sports field and rooms for music and culinary arts, but on Saturday, the computer rooms were the place to be. The private independent school hosted one of two local coding events as part of National Girls Learning Code Day, teaching young students and residents how to build and design their own websites. In Canada, 1,090 children and parents tried their hands at HTML and CSS, two coding languages used for developing content and stylistic features of websites. “Here in Victoria, at St. Margaret’s and UVic together, we had almost 150,” said Christina Jones, Victoria co-ordinator of Girls Learning Code. “That’s a good percentage of the country.” Grade 5 student Anjulie Djearam joined the workshop after her dad noticed a flyer for it on the bulletin board. She said her brother taught her a little about HTML and CSS, and she watched him make a website before the workshop. “At first, it was kind of confusing to make all the different codes and to put the opening text to make a paragraph, but once you get

used to it, it’s really easy,” she said. Similarly, Grade 2 student Natalie Beilin signed up with her sister, who had attended two other Girls Learning Code workshops and inspired her to try it herself. “Mine was about cute animals and magical creatures – bunnies, pandas, dragons,” said Beilin. HTML (hypertext markup language), in layman’s terms, is the skeletal structure of a website, while CSS (cascading style sheets) defines the stylistic qualities of a website, such as colours, fonts and backgrounds. The girls used Mozilla Thimble, a lightweight coding platform, to put together their sites. The latest event is the fourth time the Girls Learning Code workshop has been held at St. Margaret’s. The workshop is run by Ladies Learning Code, a national not-for-profit offering beginner-friendly tech education. Lauren Hudson, a program support teacher for the science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields, said the workshops have had a positive influence on students. She noted some girls recently asked the school to run another coding session on its certification day, which typically offers courses on such topics as babysitting, first aid and food safety.

“This year, the girls themselves brainstormed and they decided they wanted to offer a coding workshop,” said Hudson. “That’s separate from Girls Learning Code, but I think it’s because of the Girls Learning Code opportunities that the girls are being exposed to computer programming and they’re saying, ‘Hey, I like this.’ “That’s a really good indication that the learning is extending beyond just the events, which is fabulous.” Jones said a follow-up survey found that 98 per cent of the attendees would take a coding course again, noting the course is a good introduction to technology for young girls. “It’s a bit unique in the way it delivers the content,” said Jones. “Ladies Learning Code and Girls Learning Code is very social and collaborative – we try very hard to make sure the girls have somebody sitting close to them who can talk to them and walk them through stuff.” Not only do the mentors provide help and guidance in building and designing websites, but Jones said they also serve as role models and show girls that they can have careers in technological fields. “That’s the whole mandate behind Girls Learning Code, to normalize women in technology and to make it more accessible,” said Jones.

OUR VIEW

It doesn’t take a hero to save a life Being there when the community needs you is almost second nature to Saanich’s first responders. And the latest initiative backed by police and firefighters in Saanich is certain to provide comfort and security when residents need it most. Members of Saanich Police and the local fire department were on hand at Canadian Blood Services’ Saanich location last week to roll up their sleeves and provide a shot in the arm for those facing a life-threatening emergency. Giving blood is probably not the most heroic act performed by our first responders, but that doesn’t lessen the importance of the cause. Canadian Blood Services needs about 170,000 additional donors per year to maintain the national blood supply. It can take up to 50 donors to help a single motor vehicle accident victim. And while about half of all Canadians are eligible to give blood, last year only one in 60 eligible donors made a commitment to give. Close to 52 per cent of Canadians say they, or a family member, have needed blood or blood products for surgery or for medical treatment. While there is a need for all blood types, there is a specific need for O negative blood donors. When seconds count, someone’s life is on the line, and there’s no time to check for blood type, hospital patients receive O negative blood. It’s not every day when the average citizen can have the same impact on the health and well-being of the community as those who work on the front lines as police and firefighters. But all it takes is a quick stop at a local blood clinic to become a hero in somebody’s life. Canadian Blood Services is located at 3449 Saanich Rd. with clinic hours running Tuesday through Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and every other Saturday (the next on Nov. 21) from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. What do you think?

Canadian electoral reform is long overdue Re: editorial ‘Election changes won’t come easy’ in the Oct. 30 Saanich News. No, the changes won’t come easy but change is long overdue, as most Canadians agree. We’ve just gone through an election where all parties but one pledged electoral reform and the election was the referendum. Now let’s hold them to their promises. This won’t be an ‘arbitrary’ process. As stated, there must be an all party, parliamentary review, where our elected representatives can perhaps go back to working together for the country’s good, instead of their parties’ or their own interests. A citizen’s panel, including experts on electoral systems, needs to be an integral part of the process and all of us need do our part by becoming better informed. There will be lots of naysayers and those working for their own interests to block any changes, and we need all be aware of this reality Our outdated electoral system worked well for a two-party election. However, we are an increasingly diverse country and the days of one party representing Canadians interests are past. We need proportional representation so that the outcomes of elections result in the number of MPs closely reflecting the proportion of voter support. This may mean the end of majority governments and will certainly demand at every level, more

co-operative and collaborative conduct from our elected representatives. Currently, without changes, low voter turnout and many candidates on a ballot can result in the election of an MP who has a ridiculously small portion of voter support. Similarly, ‘majority’ governments form with nothing close to half the nation’s support. No system is perfect but ours is downright broken. It won’t be a simple or easy process but it must be undertaken and we need to start now. Let the conversation continue and let’s all make it a national one. Mark Jeffers Victoria

Park usage will only increase The ‘Baby Boomer’ park users will continue to increase over the coming years as many of us are approaching retirement age. In addition, it seems a reasonable assumption that, together with the increasing number of young families within Gordon Head and surrounding districts, usage of Mount Douglas Park will intensify, including the Glendenning entrance. As all our roads are public, not private property, I feel all the public has a right to appropriate access to the Glendenning entrance. We have the right to more parking space and certainly a road improvement for safety of all who use the entrance. This

includes cyclists, people who walk on the road, horses, dog walkers, people with medical and or mobility issues, aged pets, as well as families with babies or young children. There are currently three areas where cars need to pull off the side of this road to allow an approaching car to drive between large trees on both sides of the road. I remain hopeful that a well-planned improvement will be initiated, not just a Band-Aid solution that does not address this important issue. Mt. Douglas Park, with a size of 188 hectares, is centrally located and must be accessible to all. It is inappropriate that a few people living on Glendenning Road insist that no changes be made to improve the safety to this park entrance and are attempting to curtail the many park users who have been using this entrance for years.

Myths & realities:

“Mom, they don’t murder girls” 10.14.15

▾ MYTH: Girls and women aren’t allowed to join gangs: Reality: Girls are joining gangs across Canada and there are many documented reports of them being extremely violent. Girls are often used to hold and/or transport drugs and/or guns because the girls and the gangsters don’t think that the police will stop the girl…they are wrong.

Brianna Kinnear’s mother, along with her daughter’s dog Ferdinand, sit on a memorial bench dedicated to her daughter’s brutal gang murder in 2009. Brianna’s murder remains unsolved.

Now that Halloween’s over, expect to see more red and green everywhere you go – including the famously blue Best Buy at Uptown. The countdown to Christmas is on, and the electronics retailer is gearing up for its busiest time of the year with seasonal employment opportunities. “We always balance how many we need versus how many we can keep on board after the holidays,” said general manager Janine Ball. “We are very strategic about it – we don’t want to hire 100 people only to get rid of 80. “There will be those people that transition from an occasional seasonal environment to permanent positions.” While the primary reason for seasonal staff is to manage the holiday rush, Ball said having extra employees allows for more flexibility, with part-time staff or people falling ill. But it’s not just Christmas and Boxing Day that they have to worry about – Ball said Canadians are embracing the concept of Black Friday, opting to shop at stores on this side of the border instead of joining the stampede in the U.S. “We really see that trend now, especially with the Canadian dollar – there isn’t the incentive, necessarily, to cross the border right now with the Canadian dollar being so weak,” she said. “The retailers up here are giving those types of discounts

Uptown Best Buy general manager Janine Ball is readying her 80-plus employees for the Christmas shopping craziness, with additional seasonal employees helping out in the lead-up to the busiest time of the year. throughout the season.” This Christmas season will be a first for the Uptown location as a Best Buy, since it changed over from being a Future Shop in March. While the Island’s three previous Best Buy locations – Victoria, Langford and Nanaimo – closed their doors in 2013, the electronics giant announced earlier this year it was giving a new coat of blue paint to the last remaining Future Shops. “The biggest transition is going from a commissionbased sales environment to a non-commission sales environment,” said Ball. “The community has been extremely supportive, which has been great because we lost a lot of good people.” That said, Ball noted their current sales force has upwards of 80 people, who were

very supportive during the transition. “I couldn’t have asked for more from the community, they’ve just been phenomenal,” she said. “We’re very happy and very excited with where the store is going – it’s been tremendous.” Ball said her store has fit in well with the rest of Uptown, noting it’s an ideal location for both residents and tourists as the shopping centre becomes more prominent in the area. “I think it does allow Saanich to have its own community, its own hub, as well, to differentiate a little bit from the old-town atmosphere of Victoria,” she said.

Volvo blasts from the past in Hollywood style Swedish automaker Volvo celebrated 60 years in North America with a special gathering of celebrities and vintage cars at Paramount Pictures Studios in Hollywood. Comedian and vintage Volvo owner Jay Leno entertained a crowd of more than 300 Volvo owners, executives, retailers, and media amongst an unprecedented collection of new and historic Volvo cars, live music, and Scandinavian by Keith Morgan fare. Notable cars on display included a 1928 PV4, Volvo’s first covered car; a 1955 PV444, the first Volvo exported to the U.S.; the 1967 P1800S driven by Roger Moore in the

hit sixties’ television series, “The Saint”; and the all-new, awardwinning XC90 sport utility vehicle. Guests explored Volvo’s past and future by visiting a series of Volvo branded shops created in the facades on Paramount’s City Streets back lot. In the Volvo Cars Art Gallery, for example, was a collection of Julius Shulman-inspired photos starring Volvos past and present taken recently by Ann Street Studios at iconic locations around Los Angeles, where the very first Volvo was imported in 1955. Shulman was an American architectural photographer whose work spread California mid-century modern around the world. Guests perused the collection of vintage Volvo advertisements in the Volvo Cars History Museum, and in the Bowers & Wilkins Listening Room, audiophiles appreciated the high technology powering the

19-speaker, 1,400-watt entertainment system available in the allnew XC90 sport utility. “Volvo has had a special place in many Americans’ hearts for generations,” said Lex Kerssemakers, President and CEO, Volvo Cars of North America. “Maybe they grew up riding in a Volvo, or were saved by one, or perhaps they learned to drive in one. Whatever the case, we are celebrating those experiences and now our version of luxury for generations to come.” Volvo Cars is benefitting from a recent investment of $11billion that is being used to develop an entirely new lineup of luxury vehicles. The company has experienced nine months of consecutive year-overyear growth and is aiming to increase sales to 800,000 cars globally in the medium term. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Next up for the SFFC Premier women are Lakehill FC on Sunday at Braefoot Park, kick off at noon.

“Local stores also make holiday toy shopping easier, by offering a personalized approach and additional customer service that contrasts with the sometimes frazzling experience of shopping large retailers.” On Saturday, Timeless Toys will join locally owned stores across the country to celebrate Neighbourhood Toy Store Day, an annual celebration in which independent toy shops kick off the holiday season with special events to introduce consumers to the benefits of shopping local. Both of the Timeless Toys locations, at Broadmead Village and the original on Oak Bay Avenue, are hosting magic shows, face painting, giveaways, contests, cupcakes, popcorn and more throughout the day. Timeless Toys and Canadian game and puzzle company Outset Media started about the same time, said former Timeless Toys owner Glenn Kolb, who now works at both stores as a manager. Outset Media is based out of a distribution warehouse in Saanich’s Commerce Circle and produces nearly all of its products in Canada and the U.S.A. “Even the things Outset has manufactured in China, they are trying to locate here,” Kolb said. “It’s been great following their growth and growing with them.”

Going keyless for home security Electric keypads catching on with homeowners Travis Paterson News Staff

Hotels and office buildings moved to key cards years ago and now the trend of going keyless is finally catching on in the home front. Saanich locksmiths at The Lock Doctor have seen a steady growth in the sale of electric keypads as homeowners enjoy the convenience of going keyless. “We have one customer who installed them [on every access] to his house,” said Nic Rahn of The Lock Doctor. “His grandkids visit often and that way there’s no worry of keeping track of keys.” Some expected numbered keypads to find their way onto the front doors of all residential homes by now but there’s still a chance it could trend that way, Rahn says. “Right now the entry point for residential keypads are about $174 to $250 and the install time is nearly the same as it is for a traditional deadbolt.” People are enjoying the freedom, Rahn said. Keys break, they get lost, and keychains quickly grow to a cumbersome size. What’s changed about the keyless keypads is the battery life and durability of the locks.

Travis Paterson/News Staff

Nick Rahn of The Lock Doctor in Saanich says electric keypads are gaining in popularity for a variety of reasons; going keyless is chief among them. “The batteries now can go for years, but we recommend replacing them when you replace the battery in your smoke alarm, just to be safe,” Rahn said. Electric keypads do

come with a manual key entry should the battery die. “One of the benefits is some of electric keypads can be programmed to carry 19 entry codes at a time, a handy thing

for contractor or other workers that need access to the home,” Rahn said. Rahn’s best seller is the Schlage BE 365 series, a durable keypad starting at $174. Prices vary on the style and finish of the

keypad, such as the Emtek touchscreen model. The Lock Doctor has been in the same Cedar HIll Saanich location, at 102-1551 Cedar Hill Cross Rd., since 1984. reporter@saanichnews.com
