Pro EDPA group emerges online Hundreds expected at Pearkes for special EDPA council tonight Travis Paterson News Staff

The recent emergence of Saanich Action For the Environment (SAFE) has brought some balance to the discussion over Saanich’s controversial Environmental Development Permit Area bylaw. According to spokesperson, Peter Haddon, “SAFE recommends that Saanich continue to use the bylaw to achieve its stated objectives with respect to development and redevelopment in Environmentally Significant Areas (ESA) but consider a number of improvements the group has put forward.” Saanich council is holding a special session tonight, 7 p.m., in the field house of the George R. Pearkes Community Rec. Centre to discuss the report and could potentially abolish the EDPA. The staff report suggests three basic process options: a repeal of the entire bylaw (which Mayor Richard Atwell attempted in November but no longer supports); a revision of the existing bylaw; or to retain the bylaw as is. If Option 1 is chosen, it would see the “regulatory framework” revert to its March 2012 state, and would affect a number of bylaws which have been changed since, such as the numerous 2014 Tree Bylaw revisions. SAFE has it’s own list, and would like to see: an improvement of the EDPA Atlas; better defined permit and non-permit activities within EDPA-designated areas; developing policy and standards for ESAs within the urban context; a new review dispute resolution process for appeals; strengthened protection, mitigation and restoration on public land; and better developing education and communication initiatives to promote stewardship. The group also recommends further research on relevant components in the bylaw. To this point, the overwhelming majority of responses to the EDPA are against it. reporter@saanichnews.com

Broadmead bank robber and driver arrested Travis Paterson News Staff

A bank robber and his getaway driver were both caught following a daytime robbery of the Royal Bank on the 700-block of Royal Oak Drive in Broadmead at about 3:30 p.m. on Saturday. A lone male entered the bank, approached a teller and demanded money. No weapon was produced. After receiving an undisclosed amount of money, the suspect fled out of the bank and jumped into a car that was waiting for him outside the bank. Saanich Police were quickly on scene and located the vehicle. The driver of the vehicle was arrested. Forty-six year old Trevor Thurston was arrested and is facing one count of robbery. However, a passenger managed to escape apprehension but was located and arrested on Sunday. A 27 year old Saanich man, who has had prior contact with police, is facing one count of robbery and will appear before the courts later today. “We’re very pleased to announce the second male in this robbery [was] located and arrested in such a short period of time,” acting Sgt. Jereme Leslie said. “This is a great example of outstanding coordinated police work done by our patrol officers, Major Crime Unit and Forensic Identification Officers.”

Four of the team members of Cell Cyclists from the Deeley Research Centre riding in the Ride to Conquer Cancer are: Dr. Kwame TwumasiBoateng, Julian Smazynski, Victoria Hodgson and Dr. Lindsay DeVorkin.

Saanich cyclist takes on Ride to Conquer Cancer Pirjo Raits News Staff

Once raised, the results of money for cancer research can be invisible to some, but Kwame TwumasiBoateng knows exactly where it is going, and he sees the results. Twumasi-Boateng, a Saanich resident, is a postdoctoral fellow studying breast cancer at the B.C. Cancer Agency Deeley Research Centre (on the Saanich half of the Royal Jubilee Hospital Campus) where money from fundraising efforts funds the work that he does. As the captain of the Cell Cyclists, not only does Twumasi-Boateng work in cancer research, he helps raise money for the work he knows is extremely important. The Cell Cyclists are a team of researchers who are signed up and ready to ride in the 2016 Ride to

Conquer Cancer presented by Silver Wheaton benefiting the B.C. Cancer Foundation. “Last year was my first year for the ride and I had thought it might be fun to do some day,” said Twumasi-Boateng. “It was great, definitely challenging.” He has taken that long two-day ride before and wants to repeat the (more than) 200-kilometre ride from Vancouver to Seattle on August 27 and 28. Last year, nasty weather dogged much of the ride with some cyclists blown over on their bikes and into ditches. It was an “eventful” introduction to the ride, TwumasiBoateng said. The Cell Cyclists are hoping to top last year’s amount raised of $15,000 by $3,000. Each rider has to raise $2,500 and with more members, the easier it will be to reach their goal. The current team includes: Twumasi-Boateng; Dr. Lindsay DeVorkin: postdoctoral fellow, Dr. Brad Nelson; director and distinguished Scientist, Victoria Hodgson; research assis-

tant, Julian Smazynski; graduate student, all from the Deeley Research Centre, as well as Kris Gordon and Braydon Gordon. Throughout March there is a Team Up Challenge where people are encouraged to start, join or recruit team members. Visit conquercancer.ca to sign on. Twumasi-Boateng said many of the riders are themselves cancer survivors or they have been impacted by cancer in some way. Sure the ride is about raising much-needed money for cancer research but it is also about fun, physical challenge and camaraderie. Riders camp out in Mount Vernon and enjoy entertainment and socializing. Meandering through the inspiring landscape, riders can choose a 200 km ride or the adrenalin-charged 300 km route. Both end in Seattle. For Twumasi-Boateng, there’s something about seeing exactly where the donations go. Twumasi-Boateng was encouraged to sign up for his first ride

because the money raised by his team went directly to the Deeley Research Centre. “It is one of the few centres that is supported by the funds raised,” he said. For Twumasi-Boateng, it’s about one day showing his five-month-old son and his father has challenged himself and is helping an important cause while doing something for someone else. He took on the charitable cause because he said he does not want his son to fear the disease. Cell Cyclist researchers are holding clinical trials around Adoptive Cell Therapy in 2017. The premise is to use the patient’s own immune system to fight cancer. This treatment will be conducted on those with ovarian and cervical cancer. “It is challenging research,” said Twumasi-Boateng, “there is no magic bullet. There certainly are certain cancers where we have made tremendous progress, they are quite treatable and they got that way through research.” news@saanichnews.com

Douglas tanker crash ‘could have been worse’

A big rig hauling a tanker full of cement powder created a huge traffic delay along Douglas Street on Thursday when it crashed through a tree and nearly into the Red Lion Inn.

Travis Paterson News Staff

If it wasn’t for the strength of a large tree, the tractor trailer that crashed onto the boulevard of the Red Lion Inn on Thursday could have ended in a catastrophe with multiple fatalities. The immense size of the tree sprawled across the road, and initial concerns of safety, led to a complete shut down of Douglas Street for an hour. Southbound traffic was closed until 5 p.m. from Boleskine Avenue. Single-lane northbound traffic was reopened just before noon. The incident happened at about 10:45 a.m. The heavy-duty tractor truck, hauling a full tank of powdered cement, was traveling northbound when it veered into the southbound lanes of Douglas Street at the 3300-block. The truck hopped the curb and onto the sidewalk where it crashed over the tree, uprooting it as it slid sideways and came to a stop. The cab stopped just three metres from the door to the V Lounge night club. “It appears the driver suffered a medical emergency just prior to the crash, and police have ruled out drugs or alcohol,” said Saanich Police acting Sgt. Jereme Leslie. “I’d definitely say if it wasn’t for the tree, the truck’s trajectory certainly suggests it would likely have driven into the Red Lion’s V-Lounge, or into one of the storefronts in the immediate vicinity [a restaurant and the Red Lion Beer and Wine].” The driver, a man in his 50s, was miraculously able to free himself from the heavily wrecked cab of the truck and walk away. Witnesses reported his head was bleeding. He was seen on a stretcher and taken to hospital. At the time of the incident Saanich dispatch immediately received a number of 911 calls about the truck. Initial reports created some confusion. One report believed two cars were trapped under the trailer while others thought the trailer carried a combustible fuel. Another said the truck and trailer had actually crashed into the Inn. A crash analyst team is working with commercial vehicle inspectors to piece together the events of the incident, Leslie said. reporter@saanichnews.com

Don’t glorify a busy schedule It’s spring break, which for some means breaking the bank to make sure our children are getting every opportunity to learn and develop while not at school. Development is key, and we support it, with a list of late-to-the-party things to on page A24. But hold on a second. In this, the fast-paced information age, there is a growing recognition of the need to step back from a heavy schedule and give children, and adults, a chance to catch their breath. Some have dubbed the movement lazy parenting, a phrase that can be confusing. The point is to keep time for ourselves, and to ensure children of all ages are allowed, or told, they In February, University of Victoria professor Dr. Janni Aragon revised her 2013 blog post, Do Not Glorify Busy, a topic among the most popular posts on her blog janniaragon.me. In short, it’s unhealthy the way our culture glorifies ‘busy.’ Finding balance in life is a skill, part of a happy existence. “It feels like academia in particular, oneupping the next person about how busy we are,” Aragon told the Saanich News. “People talk about how busy we are like it’s a badge, but it’s not a badge.” The reaction she gets from adults is one of relief and reinforcement. “People love it, they want to feel it’s okay not to be busy. It’s about children, sometimes they are over scheduled. You need to book them thinking time, time to do nothing, otherwise it’s exhausting for parents, and it’s exhausting for the kids,” Downtime helps children learn how to be alone, a skill that can help them later in life. For kids, passing the day without screen time can be a matter of problem solving. “Take the storm on Sunday for example, we had now power at our house, and I didn’t know what to do,” said Aragon, “I took a nap and read my book.” Aragon lives in Gordon Head with daughters, 12 and 18.

Why not a budget at or less than the CPI Re: Saanich’s I have attended several of the recent Saanich council meetings which are reviewing the proposed property taxes for the coming year. It is with great concern that I note yet again there is not only an increase proposed, but a 3.25 per cent increase in property tax versus the barely 1.1 per cent increase in the Consumer Price Index to the end of 2015. This would be less disturbing if it were a one off. But it is not. Since 2002 Saanich taxes (excluding utility bills) have increased 74.06 per cent on the average home, while during that time, the cost of living went up only 18.6 per cent. This is an incredible disconnect, and cannot be explained away by saying that municipalities use a different basket of goods than the CPI, as was stated by staff at the Feb. 2 budget meeting. I am a taxpayer who is quite prepared to pay taxes in exchange for value for money. I am not seeing this. Saanich should be able to bring in a budget this year at 1.6 per cent or less, as the majority of costs are salary and related items. Other municipalities seem to be able

“Other municipalities seem to be able to see their way clear to a lower (budget increase).” to see their way clear to a lower number. Currently in Sidney, they are proposing 0.81 per cent, with Victoria proposing 2.05 per cent, including utility fees. Saanich has also collected additional taxes for a number of years to fund an aging infrastructure, and during the last election we were advised that was soon to be fully funded. Why are we not beginning to use those monies to help pay for any infrastructure expenses, rather than increasing taxes yet again? Most councillors ran a campaign which included making Saanich an affordable place to live. If they really believe what they said, they must start being leaders, direct staff, through the CAO, to bring in a budget at or less than the CPI. Given the 55-plus per cent extra lift to taxes over the CPI since 2002, it is simply not credible that there are no efficiencies to

be found. One method to be considered for developing next year’s budget would be to go through a zero based budgeting process, as is done in Edmonton. It would also be worthwhile to review the difference between things that are nice to have versus things that are necessary. Karen Harper Saanich

‘Geese do not pose a health threat’ on farms Re: Saanich aims bylaw at non-migratory geese (Saanich News, March 2) How ironic that geese feature so foully in Pirjo Raits’ written form -- yet so beautifully in the file photos of your March 2 article. To witness and learn solutions for managing geese on farms, I’d encourage both Raits and Saanich Coun. Fred Haynes to tour Madrona Farm and talk with farmers David and Nathalie Chambers. Contrary to Haynes’ claim that when geese “defecate, the crops can’t be harvested,” the federal government states: “There is no

direct evidence that goose droppings pose a danger to human health.” Also, in Canada Geese as a Suburban Wildlife Issue, “Dr. Milton Friend, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Waterfowl Infectious Disease Specialist, says “Canada geese are not carriers of microorganisms (pathogens) that significantly threaten public health. “In fact, in New York, the Department of Environmental Conservation ... managed to confirm what was already known: Canada geese do not pose a health threat even remotely serious enough to justify their mass

Leave the phone alone I am frustrated with all the people still talking on the phone while driving. Also when I am driving, you can see them texting. Operating a car is a dangerous machine and we need to pay attention on the road and other drivers and pedestrians. The police need to get more strict with the fines. They need to be higher and with more consequences. Lives are being harmed by driving and cell phones. Kerri Brain Saanich

destruction.” The Chambers have noted how much goose poop enriches the soil of organic farms. We are too quick to blame and destroy nature, instead of learning from -- and seeking ways to work with -- our bird, animal, fish and plant friends. Native people have understood this for generations. Both Raits and Haynes could also gain lessons from reading Saving Farmland -- The Fight for Real Food (which, in the spirit of transparency, I admit to having co-authored). Pages 109 to 111 discuss how

to accommodate biodiverse “trespassers.” Page 107 provides lessons from the geese on sharing leadership and gaining community support. Additional inspiration can be freely read in Lessons from the Geese, by Dr. Robert McNeish and 7 Lessons We Can learn from Geese to Succeed at Work.

A pair of Saanich-based youth initiatives have earned grants from the Coast Capital Savings Young Leaders Community Councils’ community grant program. Saanich Commonwealth Place’s Youth at Risk Moving Forward has earned a $7,000 grant while the successful CanAssist-run TeenWork program (housed out of the Centre for Athletics, Recreation and Special Abilities at the University of Victoria) received $25,000. The goal of Moving Forward is to foster positive relationships between youth at risk and their mentors and to support the creation and maintenance of healthy behaviours such as sport, exercise, volunteerism, job skills training and community engagement. TeenWork is an innovative program that puts young people with disabilities into the work place by helping them find and retain paid part-time employment with local businesses. The money comes from the Coast Capital Savings Young Leaders Community Councils’ community grant program and was announced on March 11. In total, a list of several Vancouver Island projects will receive $342,000 in funding. The grants are reviewed by Young Leaders Community Councils and they best decide how best allocate the credit union’s community investment funding. “The Young Leaders Community Council’s ‘for youth, by youth’ approach really sets it apart,” said Linley Faulkner, returning council member and 2016 council chair for Vancouver Island. “It’s so empowering to have the chance to work with other young people to support programs that have such a positive impact on our communities.” news@saanichnews.com

Shawnigan Lake man rebuilding life after devastating fire Kendra Wong Black Press

A Saanich News’ driver is attempting to piece his life back together after losing everything in a recent fire at his Shawnigan Lake home. Ric Munro and his partner Carole Stanley’s belongings were destroyed when a fire ripped through their cabin last Tuesday morning. As a Saanich News driver, Munro has droped off papers to routes for the past 27 years, was at home having coffee

and listening to the radio when he smelled smoke. The smoke alarm soon triggered in his bedroom. He ran into his bedroom to see flames shooting out of the ceiling by the top of his closet. Munro attempted to put out the fire with an extinguisher and garden hose, but soon realized it was too late. In a panic, Munro managed to save his three guitars. Everything else such as musical equipment, cash and sentimental items, were lost in the fire. He also tried to find his cats, but their

fear sent them into hiding. “It was my home,” he said. “I was like a zombie and then the next day it hit me and I cried like I’ve never cried in years.” Stanley also lost a number of personal items, such as laptops and cameras with pictures from recent trips — memories she said she’ll never be able to get back. Rob Patterson, fire chief of the Malahat Fire Department, said within a few seconds of crews arriving, the cabin became engulfed in flames. Crews managed to contain the fire and let it extinquish itself because the home is outside of the fire deparatment’s area of coverage. “It was a tragedy for him,” said Patterson, speculating the old, unlined concrete chimney was the cause of the fire. Munro had been living in the cabin above the west side of Shawnigan Lake for the past 19 years. He moved there to get away from the noise of the city and so he could have a peace-

ful place to write and play music. “My guitars are like my kids in a way. I’m lost without them. They saved me many times, so I wanted to save them,” he said. “Music has helped me through the ups and downs in my life. It’s always been good therapy.” Now, Munro and Stanley must rebuild their lives. He said a number of people in the community have reached out to donate clothing, bedding and food. Black Press is also providing accomodation to the duo. “I just wanted to thank everybody that stepped up and helped us out,” Munro said. But there is a positive end to the story. Munro returned to the cabin several days later. While sifting through the ashes, he found a porcelain piggy bank he’s had since he was a child. His cats made it out as well.

There is no greater feeling than practicing your passion in the community you call home. Dr. Bergerman is Dr. Jerome Bergerman’s dental practise in Broadmead has brought the experienced opening his practice dentist full circle. Trained at to new patients the University of Manitoba, followed by military dental service, Bergerman by chance arrived in Victoria after a Calgary opportunity evaded him. Dr. Bergerman (B.A., D.M.D.) had a practice on Yates Street for close to 20 years and eventually migrated his way to Broadmead. He practised dentistry in Broadmead for many years before embarking on an adventure to serve communities across the province. Along the way he gained an appreciation of cabinet making and boating all the while setting his sights on a return home. In the spring of 2015 he opened his new state-of-the-art boutique style dentist office at #2-811 Royal Oak Drive. Over the years he has seen a lot of changes in dental medicine and he has kept up with them all. The new dental materials and technology are all utilized in his bright, modern office. Low dose radiation, digital imaging and a relaxed and quiet atmosphere make for a calm visit. He delivers a conservative and realistic approach towards patients and has a close relationship with dental specialists. He always presents his patients with a number of treatment options. “I enjoy my work. If I didn’t I wouldn’t be doing it this long,” said Dr. Bergerman. Dr. Bergerman received a Clinical Gold Medal from the University of Manitoba for excellence in clinical dentistry. Dr. Bergerman is opening his practice to new patients with room for you and the whole family. You can call his long-time receptionist Donna for an appointment at 778-430-1111.

She’s been at it for 35 years, and Toni Blodgett’s love of jazz continues to fuel her band’s unique blend of what she calls “more traditional” music. What it really means is her group has access to a vast repertoire of jazz tunes and has developed the ability to move seemlessly between Boswell Sisters arrangements to New Orleans Jazz and on to gospel, ragtime and pretty much any swinging jazz melody you can imagine. “I want to share tunes like Mississippi Rag, and Sit Right Down with a generation that maybe has never heard some of these great songs,” she said. “These are fabulous pieces and they can take your breath away given the chance.” Blodgett originally with the Dixieland Express Band for more than 10 years, but formed her own group,

talented representation of Boswell Sisters arrangements. These days the group plays as regulars at Hermann’s Jazz Club (753 View St.) where they appear twice a month. These days the band plays as a sextet, including Toni Blodgett on piano and vocals, with Saanich residents Joey Smith on bass and vocals and Tom Ackerman on sax and clarinet, as well as Don Leppard on drums and Doug Rhodes on alto and soprano sax. It originally formed as a quartet in 1991, when the CanUS Hot Jazz Band travelled throughout the U.S., Mexico and Canada. In 2002 it played to rave reviews at the Kennedy Centre for the Performing Arts Millennium Stage. They blend tight group numbers with stunning individual performances to create a show where their sound meshes into a night of unforgettable music. Although the band decided to stop touring in 2006, Blodgett still considers the odd out of town gig. “We played in Kelowna a while back and had a lot of fun playing to a packed house. It was fun, but these days a big consideration is whether we get to go home to our own beds,” said Blodgett with a laugh. Tickets can be found at hermannsjazz.com.

Nathan Hirayama, an ex-UVic Vike of five years, runs in a try as Canada defeats France 19-17 in the Bowl final on Sunday.

Vikes, SMUS help Canada win inaugural rugby sevens tourney A core of UVic Vikes players helped Canada to the Bowl trophy at the inaugural HSBC Canada Sevens in Vancouver on Sunday, the first World Rugby Sevens Series tournament on Canadian soil. B.C. Place hosted 60,418 fans over the weekend. Nathan Hirayama and John Moonlight, both former UVic Vikes, led Canada as it defied the odds with buzzer beating tries and conversions. Canada secured a place in Sunday's Bowl final after they got the better of England, winning 17-7. St. Michaels University School graduate Mike Fuailefau got his team moving with a well-taken score at the three-minute mark.

Against France, Canada claimed a last-ditch victory to defy overcome a 17-12 deficit to win 19-12 when Moonlight powered through. Hirayama slotted the crucial two points that won the game. The only loss of the weekend came in Canada’s opening game versus Wales. “We lost one game by seven points to prevent us going to the cup round but we won everything else,” Moonlight said. “I think teams are noticing that. We’re turning our play on. We’re only going to get better leading into Rio.” Former Vikes and long time international sevens stars Sean Duke (injured) and Phil Mack

were also part of the Bowl trophy winners.

Meanwhile in Burnaby the current Vikes men’s rugby team successfully defended its University Sevens title for a fourth-straight year after beating rivals the UBC Thunderbirds 28-12 on Saturday. “We completely outworked them. UBC didn’t make any changes at the half and seemed to run out of gas. When we have guys like [SMUS grad] Jeff Nishma-Miller coming in at half, it’s going to wear them down,” said Vikes assistant coach Rick Farrally.

Matters of church and state appear poised to collide in the corridors of a Vancouver Island hospital. And it really is a question of life and death. On one side you have the Catholic church, owners of St. Joseph’s Hospital in Comox, which says the facility’s rejection of doctor-assisted death on its premises is a matter of faith and should be allowed to stand on those grounds. On the other side you have a Comox doctor and his supporters who say assisted suicide is now a court-mandated right, one that Canadians should be able to access in all publicly funded hospitals. And sitting ringside is Island Health, which is prepared to support St. Joseph’s in its position, at least until politically ordered to do otherwise. “If an Island Health facility such as a religiouslyaffiliated hospital does not want to perform the service, we will work with the facility, patient, family, care providers and others in finding alternative locations and providers,” the health authority said in a statement released Friday to Black Press. The Supreme Court legalized doctor-assisted suicide in a landmark February 2015 ruling that will go into effect in June of this year. As the federal government works on massaging that ruling into law, Comox general practitioner Dr. Jonathan Reggler is lobbying hard to make sure that law applies to hospitals across the board. He believes leaving a loophole for faith-based institutions will create inequities for smaller communities like the Comox Valley that are only served by a single, faith-based hospital. He predicts patients being transported away from their families to hospitals in Campbell River or Nanaimo, and their care turned over to an unfamiliar team of doctors and nurses, when there is no good medical reason to do so. “It’s something rather disturbing that we can boot someone because it doesn’t suit the doctrine of the hospital,” he said. “This is not about churchbashing. There is no place for a faith-based organization to assert its will over the Charter of Rights.” St. Joseph’s CEO Jane Murphy said her organization is awaiting legislative guidance, but the views of the church are clear. “We can’t speculate as to the finer points of what the legislation may look like. Our position on physician-assisted death is consistent with the Catholic Health Care Ethical Guidelines, and St. Joseph’s will not be providing or promoting physicianassisted death,” she said in a prepared statement. “We are hopeful that legislation will respect the diverse perspectives on physician-assisted death.” Reggler said the lawmakers and the policy makers need to recognize that even though the church owns the hospital’s bricks and mortar, it serves a larger community. He said just 12 per cent of the community is Catholic, while 87 per cent of British Columbians support doctor-assisted suicide. And while St. Joseph’s is Vancouver Island’s only Catholic hospital, the Comox situation is repeated in many communities across Canada and affects several big city hospitals as well. Reggler agreed that the end-of-life care provided at St. Joseph’s is excellent, but said there is an opportunity to here to make it better that should not be missed.

Intense show down The tenters camp known as “Super InTentCity” next to the Victoria courthouse persists following the opening of shelter and housing spaces. Housing Minister Rich Coleman says some campers are there as a protest and they want a confrontation. A provincial injunction is now in supreme court to force the campers off the land as the Victoria Police did not enforce a recent deadline for campers to be removed.

Falcon Gymnasts win bronze in Montreal Five Saanich gymnasts training at Falcon Gymnastics travelled to Montreal on March 3 to attend the 25th annual Gymnix competition. Gymnasts aged 14-16 competed against gymnasts from Ontario, Quebec, but also against athletes from the United States and Mexico. Canadian Olympian Ellie Black attended the event to encourage the young athletes, which featured many of Canada’s elite gymnasts. The first day, March 5, two athletes competed Junior Olympic level 7 (1996-2001). Kiana Phieffer (Grade 10 student at Spectrum Secondary School) scored the most medals winning two bronze medals for bars and floor and overall she ended fourth, missing the third place by just 0.15 points. Inez Verdun (Grade 9 at Mount Douglas secondary) landed a respectable sixth place in three events and one eighth place which got her a seventh all around. It was the first time for the aforementioned athletes to compete on an elevated floor, also known as a podium. “These athletes were competing on new equipment and did not get a warmup on the equipment before doing the real competition, making it a pretty different experience from their usual competitions,” said Falcon spokesperson Amy Verdun. Their next competitions are the British Columbia Championships that will determine the best gymnasts in this province for the season in the various levels.

Saanich Parks and Recreation

FAVOURITE: NEIGHBOURHOOD: Cedar Hill Craig Rencher has a long history in golf, and a brief history with Foot Golf. Rencher first swung a club at the age of 10-years-old and has gone on to a career on the greens. And as spring arrives, the head golf pro at Cedar Hill Golf Course is looking forward to the new season starting April 1 for the course located at 1400 Derby Road in Saanich. He’s also looking forward to seeing how much more the sport of Foot Golf will grow after it was introduced late in the 2015 season. Because there is golf, and then there is Foot Golf. “It’s a new sport,” Rencher said, “it is huge in the U.S. and it has found its way to Canada.” Foot Golf is played like regular golf with holes and scorecards but there are no clubs, just feet. You don’t play the greens but you do play the fairways. The holes are a 21” cup and the goal is to use the least number of kicks to get the ball in the hole, almost like regular golf. It’s inexpensive as well and gets people

out on the course, $9 for 9 holes. “We’re very, very happy with the way it’s gone and it has not impacted golf one bit,” Rencher said. The publicly-owned course offers 18 holes well suited for the average golfer. It provides a fun balance as it is longer than a par-3 but shorter than a full length golf course, at 5,200 yards and par-67. The course offers competitive green fees, a fully-stocked pro shop, power and pull carts as well as instruction and a licensed clubhouse. Green fees during weekdays are $43.50 and on weekend $48.50. There is also a 13-hole green fee for those who do not wish to play the full course at $37.50. Try nine holes for $28.25. Annual passes give you 10 per cent off food purchases in the clubhouse. Discounted value passes are available in groups of 10, 20 and 30, allowing a couple to use 10 passes for five rounds. Pass sales commence March 21, 2016. “These are perfect for the person who doesn’t want to pay big, big dollars to golf,” Rencher said.

Want to avoid slicing? Hit the ball with more power? There are Craig Rencher’s golf tip videos online at www.saanich.ca/ parkrec../golf/CraigrenchersGolftips.html. Golfing, Foot Golf or walking are all available at Cedar Hill Golf Course. For more information go to: www.saanich.ca/ parkrec../golf or simply type in Cedar Hill Golf Course, Victoria into your browser. Located just minutes from downtown, with plenty of free parking our beautiful clubhouse features all the amenities and scenic views you need for your next event.

When my Dad and I go to rock concerts, people assume he got me into the bands from his era. In most cases, they’re right: He introduced me to the blissful euphoria of The Beatles, the wild blues-infused ramblings of Led Zeppelin and the comforting lucidity of Pink Floyd. He’s to thank/ blame for all the rug burns from imitating Pete Townshend’s powerslide. But for all these artists he’s put in my periphery, I’m proud to say I got him into the high voltage rock ‘n’ roll of Australia’s greatest export: AC/ DC. I’m not sure if the 2003 SARS concert in Toronto was my introduction to the lightning-bolted band, but it was at least the on-ramp to my personal highway to hell yeah.

Saanich News reporter Jacob Zinn and his Dad really like AC/DC so much so that they recently followed the band on tour for four shows in Vancouver, San Francisco, Los Angeles (shown above) and Tacoma. Zinn shares his story about their bond over classic rock and how seeing AC/DC in concert is just a bit different than any other band. I was 14 – the usual age when male youth unearth their primal fascination with rock music – and was watching the live broadcast of the musical one-off at home. While The Rolling Stones headlined the event, AC/DC inarguably stole the show with just a dozen songs and a whole lotta moxie. When Angus Young hammered into “Thunderstruck,” I turned the volume as high as it would go on my TV. I was hooked. Immediately, they were my favourite band, and I had to see them in concert. That didn’t happen for six years. For a band

A week of rock Continued from A26

After I picked up my jaw off the floor, I swore the next time AC/DC came through, my Dad and I would see them at least three times. Fast forward to last February: AC/DC announces their 2015 North American tour, a 12-date run of football arenas and baseball stadiums, ending with three shows down the west coast in Vancouver, San Francisco and Los Angeles. My Dad may have forgotten about the threeshow minimum, but I was sure to remind him and we plotted a father-son trip. It was a whirlwind week of balls-to-the-wall, zero-ballad, raucous hard rock, and by the end of it, we had a thrice-in-a-lifetime experience that nothing would ever match. That was until a few weeks ago. Shortly after the 2015 tour ended, the Aussie quintet added a second North American leg to their tour, starting in Tacoma. It was way too close to pass up, so we bought tickets and made our way to the Tacoma Dome for round four. As awe-inspiring as the three previous shows were, that tour kickoff was the best either of us had ever seen from the Down Under thunder. Maybe it was the atmosphere, maybe it was a more rested band, or maybe it was the third row seats where we were almost close enough to be sweat on. Whatever it was, we bonded over AC/DC like no other band. We’ve had some mind-blowing times seeing the likes of The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith and Bruce Springsteen, but AC/DC stands out in our collective concert-going memory because I found a way to share them with my Dad – not the other way around. He’s the reason these experiences are so personally valuable. If AC/DC never tours again, I’ll be pretty choked, but not as choked as I would be if I’d never seen them with my Dad. jacob.zinn@saanichnews.com

“By accessing world markets for Canadian oil, we’ll enjoy increased tax dollars and years of employment.” - Deborah Cahill, President, Electrical Contractors Association of BC

Now more than ever, this project makes sense for Canada and British Columbia. It’s vital we receive the most from our natural resources at a time when our economy needs it most. The Trans Mountain Expansion Project will allow Canadian oil to be delivered to international markets and, as a result, Canada will earn approximately $3.7 billion more a year for our oil. By realizing full value, everyone will benefit. In addition, the expansion will create tens of thousands of jobs over the next 25 years.
