The 2016 Victoria Mosquito A Eagles would like to thank our generous sponsors, supporters and volunteers for helping our 11U team soar during their medal-winning season. The team included players from all corners of Greater Victoria. The 13 players showed up for practices and games up to five times a week, sometimes in the wind and rain, and helped raise money with a bottle drive, all to fulfill their dreams of becoming better baseball players. The team was proud to qualify to represent Greater Victoria at the B.C. Provincial Championship in Richmond on July 28-31, playing against the top 10 teams in B.C., and to battle their way to the Bronze medal. The Victoria Mosquito A Eagles finished the season with an impressive record of 22 wins, 3 losses and one tie. The struggles, triumphs and hard work that went into the 2016 Victoria Mosquito A season helped our young Eagles grow as players, teammates and members of our community. Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped give our young Eagles lift off, especially our sponsors and our skilled, dedicated and very patient coaches. See you all next year!

More plans unveiled for Turner Building Pamela Roth Victoria News

It’s been more than 13 years since coffee was brewing inside the Turner Building at Richmond Road and Birch Street, but now the building that once faced demolition could soon transform back into a vibrant gathering place. Constructed in the 1940s, the building has been purchased by Island Cardiology Holdings Inc. and now the group is giving the community an idea of what’s planned for the boarded-up property. According to architect Alan Lowe, the development calls for a five storey, 29,000square-foot medical office building for cardiologists in the city. Two other lots at the back of the property have also been purchased by the group to be turned into a four-storey, 23 unit residential rental building. The plan, said Lowe, is to keep the ground level of the existing Turner building as commercial with either a restaurant or a coffee shop. The building would be restored and incorporated into the overall design.

Architect Alan Lowe’s vision for the redevelopment of the Turner Building at Richmond Road and Birch Street. “Hopefully we can create some vibrancy in this neighbourhood once again. There are a lot of stories about this building, lots

of nostalgia here...this will create a focal point in the community,” said Lowe, who also plans to designate the property as a heritage

building. “To designate it as heritage will essentially protect the building and keep it as part of the history

of this city forever.” The building once housed Ian’s Jubilee Coffee shop, a convenience store, flower shop and four apartments on the second level, but was shut down in 2001. During a windstorm in September 2013, a 3.7-metre section of wall fell off the second storey of the vacant building, later prompting the city to issue a demolition order to prevent further collapsing. The building was soon purchased by the cardiologist group, along with the two adjacent lots, saving it from demolition. Lowe hopes to have a planning report to the Committee of the Whole within 60 to 90 days, and shovels could be in the ground six to eight months later. He’s already excited the project is finally moving forward. “I think the community is excited about it because the building is a blight right now,” said Lowe. “It’s one of the more high profile, fun projects and something that I think the city has been waiting for a long time to make happen.” editor@vicnews.com

Area residents already feel safer with most campers gone Continued from Page A1

“Now we get to kick back and get to know people as people, instead of homeless people.” According to the province, 275 people have moved into the facilities, including more than 70 at the former Central Care Home in the past week. However, some tents and people remain. “We have seen very good cooperation from the campers. So there’s no need to go for any type of enforcement order at this point,” said Housing Minister Rich Coleman. “While we’re respectful of the court’s deadline, we recognize that it would be a mistake to rush this move because it’s going so well. We’re going to continue to work with those who are cooperative.” Residents in neighbourhoods

surrounding the courthouse are also resting easier since the majority of campers have packed up and left.

While the province has done a sufficient job at providing housing for tent city residents, more still needs to be done, she added. “(The province) has done a great job. It looks like there’s sufficient room in the new building for everyone at tent city and then some,” Green said. “There’s still 1,000 people out there on the street after everything the ministry has done this year. The problem is still quite large, it’s still a huge issue. It’s not done.” kendra.wong@vicnews.com

City ponders street-side farm stands The City of Victoria is considering bylaw changes that would allow raw, unprocessed food such as fruits, nuts, seeds, eggs and honey to be grown, harvested and sold anywhere in the city, while limiting impacts to neighbours. As part of the Growing in the City initiative that encourages boulevard and community gardening, the city is now considering permitting small-scale commercial food production business everywhere in Victoria. This would enable people to both grow and sell unprocessed food on a range of potential sites including commercial areas, vacant lots, residential properties, rooftops, institutional properties and other underused sites. Those wanting to sell food would be required to get a business licence for offsite sales (such as retail locations and restaurants) and on-site sales (such as food stands and farm box pick-up locations.) A year-long business licence for off-site sales will be available for $100. Two on-site business licence options will be offered, a three-month licence for $25 or a yearlong licence for $100. The proposed bylaw changes would also eliminate the need for a development permit for certain types of landscaping required for commercial and non-commercial urban food production (such as community gardens, community orchards and edible landscaping). The public is invited to learn more and share their feedback on the proposed changes by Aug. 22, by email to engage@victoria.ca. All feedback will be shared with city council for their consideration prior to the public hearing on Aug. 25 starting at 6:30 p.m. inside City Hall.

Play offers glimpse into motherhood Kendra Wong Honest, heartwarming and bananas. That’s how actors describe the new play on now at the Belfry Theatre. Mom’s the Word was originally written in 1993 by Linda A. Carson, Jill Daum, Alison Kelly, Robin Nichol, Barbara Pollard and Deborah Williams, who would get together every Saturday to talk and write about their lives as new mothers. Those Saturdays were cathartic — each

“I just kind of became this very different person after Emily (my daughter) was born. I really thought before I would go back to old Yumi again, but there were just a lot of things personally — just the way I viewed the world and the focus being on Emily for the first few years...it was a hard shift for me to find who I was again.” In one scene during the play, Linda takes a garden hose away from her daughter and scolds her — something Ogawa admits she’s had to do to her daughter in similar situations as well. Lisa C. Ravensbergen plays Robin, the mother of a five-year-old girl and six-month-old boy, in the performance. “There is a lot

of humanizing of a woman and mother’s experience. There’s definitely resonances and parallels for myself. I go ‘oh, I have a story like that too’,” said Ravensbergen, who has a 10-year-old son. “There’s a lot of humour in the whole play. The show is a really good representation of what motherhood is, which is all of those things in between — there’s things that are very grounded and selfaware and powerful, and it swings all the way to the absurd.” Mom’s the Word is on at the Belfry Theatre (1291 Gladstone Ave.) until Aug. 28. Tickets range from $20 to $59 and are available at 250385-6815 or online at tickets.belfry.bc.ca. Kendra.wong@vicnews.com

UVic grad delivers ice cream to your door Christine van Reeuwyk Black Press

Home and travel inspire flavours concocted by Daniel Edler in a small kitchen off Oak Bay Avenue. He hopes his artisan ice cream, delivered to the door, offers customers an opportunity to slip out of their flavour comfort zone. “I’ve always liked playing with flavours,” Edler said. “Some you will like, some you will love, some you will like less. But you’ll try new things.” Edler started making ice cream in his 20s when his parents gave him a household ice cream maker for Christmas. With a technology day job, it offers an outlet for his creativity. When he and wife Erin welcomed their first child 18 months ago, it brought on the traditional questions and thoughts of entering

a new phase in life. He started playing around with artisan ice cream, bringing it to gatherings and sharing with co workers. “People were interested. So I knew I had something that would work,” he said. With the day job paying the bills and no money tree in the back yard, a traditional storefront seemed unmanageable for now. “I decided I would do something I could manage by myself in a small space,” he said. Enter local, by subscription, ice cream. It’s about local ingredients and small batches with ingredients patrons recognize. He started in June with 20 subscribers who purchase delivered pints each month. “I know how much I need,” he said. “I can grow organically.” Subscribers get one pint of a flavour, inspired by tradition,

and one rooted in local flavours. A month might include chocolate cinnamon crunch and mint chocolate chip. “A lot of these are inspired by flavours I liked as a kid or travel,” he said. For example, time spent in Vietnam during a post-grad trip with dad inspired the popular Vietnamese coffee flavour. The pints also come with a tale behind the flavour. He describes the incentive behind that flavour: summer 2006, scooters whizz by as I attempt to cross the street. The noise is deafening.

OUR VIEW

It’s time for all tent city residents to leave The Aug. 8 deadline for residents of tent city to move their worldly possessions from the lawns of the Victoria courthouse has now come and gone, and even though most people have left to go to various housing facilities provided by the province, a handful of campers still remain. The province says it’s seen a lot of cooperation from the campers so there’s no need to go for any type of enforcement order at this point. “We recognize that it would be a mistake to rush this move because it’s going so well,” said Housing Minister Rich Coleman. “We’re going to continue to work with those who are cooperative.” It’s great that most of the campers have been cooperative thus far and seem to be enjoying the new housing that’s been provided for them. It’s also great that neighbours in the area already feel safer with most of the campers gone, even though there continues to be a police presence at the site. But at one point do we say enough is enough, it’s time to officially leave so we can clean up what was once a green space that has now turned into a dirt and gravel pit with distressed trees? The province has provided more than enough housing to accommodate the remaining campers and given plenty of notice as to when they have to leave. But there will always be those who simply won’t cooperate for whatever reason and will likely have to be escorted off the property by police. After nearly a year of having tents on the property, the cost of cleaning up the site is pegged at more than $500,000. Let’s get on with it so the clean up process can begin before the winter rains.

Readers respond: Money well spent on musical railing at Bastion Square Re: editorial on Friday July 29. Your opinion about the new art installation at the Bastion Square parkade being ‘wasteful’ appears to contradict the beautifully written article about the artists David Parfit and Scott Amos that began on page one. The Grumpy Taxpayers of Greater Victoria are aptly named if the spending of $10,000 for such a beneficial art project gets them upset. Consider this: the two artists involved may consider using their clever talents here in our capital city instead of making art elsewhere. Additional pedestrian traffic in an unfrequented part of town may decrease crime. People may actually smile and interact with each other whilst engaged at the musical rails. Just accounting for these three points suggests to me that the money was well spent. Judging specific art forms will always be problematic. The big picture gives us a much more important question: can we acknowledge that art is necessary in our lives? Robert Thompson Victoria

Government should spend booze tax money on mental health programs Age, income inequality, high cost of living are the three most reasonable causes of depression, in my opinion. There is a correlation between alcohol consumption and depression according to studies. It’s been proven that people who drink excessively have undiagnosed depression and this is one way to self medicate, although not the ideal method since alcohol is a depressant. It would be ideal if the government spent some of the income generated in alcohol taxes on mental health programs. Good luck trying to find out how much revenue is generated by alcohol in B.C though.

First Nation does not have a benefit agreement signed Re: Tree-spikers cling to Lelu Island (B.C. Views, July 20). The Metlakatla First Nation does not have a benefit agreement signed with Pacific NorthWest LNG for the proposed Lelu Island project. Unfortunately, factually incorrect information was published in several

Black Press newspapers across the province, stating that “The Metlakatla, Kitselas, Kitsumkalum and Gitxaala bands have benefit agreements for the project.” There is a term sheet signed that could lead to an Impact Benefit Agreement in the future, but to state that a benefits agreement has been signed is simply not true. Shaun Thomas Communications manager Metlakatla First Nation

Local paddlers gearing up for dragon boat festival Dozens of Victoria teams to compete in festival

If you go

Kendra Wong

n WHEN: Friday, Aug. 12 to Sunday, Aug. 14.

n EVENT: The Victoria Dragon Boat Festival.

Victoria News

When Katy Milne hopped into a dragon boat for her first session, she admits she didn't want to get back in after. In 2001, Milne and a co-worker had seen information on novice dragon boating and decided to check it out. However, she quickly discovered it wasn't as easy as she thought it would be. “It's not natural movement. It seems like a simple thing, but there's a lot of intricacies to how you move and how to make the boat move effectively and especially trying to coordinate that with 20 other people is quite a challenging thing,” Milne said. But instead of dropping out, Milne did the opposite — she volunteered to be the captain. Quickly her love for the sport grew and a few years later she became the team's head coach. For the past 15 years, Milne has been coaching and paddling with two dragon boat teams, the Snappin' Dragons, a women's boat,

Katy Milne (right), encourages paddlers of the Snappin' Dragons during a practice in the Gorge Waterway. The Snappin' Dragons are one of roughly 80 teams who will be competing in the 22nd annual Victoria Dragon Boat Festival this weekend. and Paddlers of the Fifth Moon, a mixed boat, spending about six hours a week on the water between April to August. “I've met some fantastic people throughout both my teams and the other teams as well. There's a lot of camaraderie within dragon boating,” said the 38-year-old, adding dragon boating is a very inclusive sport with everybody

from breast cancer survivors to seniors citizens to youth boats. “They're all out for different reasons. I think it's pretty cool that you can have that range of people in one sport.” Milne is one of dozens of local paddlers who will be competing in the 22nd annual Victoria Dragon Boat Festival this weekend. The three-day festival brings

together more than 80 teams from Vancouver, Cowichan Bay, Edmonton, Tacoma, Comox, Prince George and Portland, and thousands of spectators to the city's Inner Harbour. As part of the festival, paddlers are also raising money for the B.C. Cancer Foundation. It's a cause that's close to Milne's heart as she is a cancer researcher at

the Deeley Research Centre in Victoria. Recently, renovations finished on a multi-million-dollar immunotherapy lab and researchers are gearing up to do clinical trials on patients. “For me it's special because I can actually see where the money goes. The pledge drive from the paddlers is helping support that. I've had a few paddlers in and around the lab to see where the money has gone and I think they're all quite excited about that,” said Milne, adding her two teams have raised roughly $21,000 for the foundation. The Victoria Dragon Boat Festival runs from Friday, Aug. 12 to Sunday, Aug. 14. For more information visit victoriadragonboat. com. kendra.wong@vicnews.com

Low returns for Fraser sockeye Tom Fletcher Black Press

A low sockeye salmon return year is coming in even lower than forecast, with no commercial or recreational sockeye fisheries on the Fraser and marine areas and only aboriginal fisheries permitted by Canadian and U.S. authorities. The Pacific Salmon Commission met again earlier this week, and downgraded the main summer run estimate to 700,000 fish. Test fishing catches have been tracking below forecast for what was expected to be a lowreturn year on the four-year sockeye cycle, with the Early Stuart and other runs below expectations. The main summer run was calculated at 992,000 on last week's test fishing data, down from a pre-season forecast of 1.67 million. As of Aug. 8, the Fraser River water discharge at Hope was 24 per cent lower than the average for that date, with the temperature at 19 degrees Celsius, up one degree Cel-

sius from the average. Those conditions are considered satisfactory for salmon migration. Fisheries and Oceans Canada has begun its spawning escapement assessment programs. “Early Stuart sockeye are in the early stages of spawning and are reported to be in good condition,” the commission said. “There has been steady migration of Chilliwack sockeye into the river and the

observed fish are also reported to be in good condition.” Aboriginal food, social and ceremonial fisheries on the Fraser and Canadian marine areas have taken 40,800 sockeye, with no commercial take for aboriginal fisheries. U.S. aboriginal treaty fisheries have taken 900 fish. Federal Fisheries Minister Dominic LeBlanc said Tuesday he is continuing to imple-

Glow

ment the Cohen Commission, established to study the collapse of the 2009 sockeye run. The 2010 run came in with a record 30 million fish, but the Justice Bruce Cohen's commission reported a general decline in sockeye runs since 1990 from Washington state up the Central Coast, Skeena, Nass and up to Yukon's Klukshu and Alaska's Alsek Rivers. editor@vicnews.com

VICTORIA NEWS -Friday, August 12, 2016

DRIVEWAY: 2017 RAM Offroad package and Power wagon Here’s the thing with writing about trucks – especially trucks from the extensive and exhausting lineup offered in FCA’s RAM family – there are literally, one million variations. Between cab styles, powertrains, packages and trims, the RAM-fam has something to offer anyone who is serious about their work (and play) vehicles; with a list of selections and options that practically ensure that there will be no two exactly alike on the roads when the 2017 lineup becomes available later this fall. I got to drive a cross section of them at FCA’s proving grounds in Chelsea, Michigan recently, on a variety of closed-course roads and terrains (including a really entertaining off-road course the company uses for testing all their 4x4 products, which would quickly weed out anything that isn’t up to the challenges of driving through water, or up a flight of wooden steps installed in the middle of the Michigan woods). Now, here’s the deal, while the RAM lineup is extensive, and virtually all models are boasting some changes large-and-small, most of the information is under embargo until September, which is actually a good thing (for me, anyway, as it will keep today’s tale mercifully brief); so we’ll narrow it down to just a couple: the Power Wagon and Off-Road Package of the 2500 series. What worked to be a good thing for me is that I put off driving the trucks

until the afternoon portion of my day at the Chelsea facility; and just about lunchtime a cloudburst hit the grounds hard. (Incidentally, have you ever experienced a true ‘cloudburst’? I honestly never had, in fact I have never seen rain like that outside of maybe the Queen Charlotte Islands – one minute everything was fine, and the next it was like riot police had turned a firehose on we, the assembled media. It was pretty hilarious, actually; everyone scrambling for cover and event staff frantically trying to close the sunroofs and get the tops of the convertible vehicles up). Anyway, the rainblast only lasted a few minutes, and left the courses in a suitably wet-and-slippery condition that helped the vehicles show off their terrain-handling abilities in some truly challenging circumstances. I used a 2500 4x4 Heavy Duty with Off-road package on the backcountry course. The Offroad package basically adds cutting-edge Bilstein monotube shock absorbers and a limited-slip differential to the truck in addition to its under-body skid plates and tow hooks. I had one of FCA’s professionals with me for an orientation lap around the course, who was really helpful in instructing me on the use of the vehicles terrain-selection modes and demonstrating the downhill-descent control on steep declines. It was also an opportunity to appreciate the interior of the Mega Cab of the

3x7 canadian tire

2500. FCA boasts it is the largest cab in the segment, and it shows off excellent space throughout (I rode around in the back taking photos out the window for a while) along with excellent upholstery and attention to detail. While it is a thoroughly capable truck in the rough, no question about it, but also does well on the highway and provides a ride that, while noticeably bouncier than the lower-slung Jeeps that were also on hand in Chelsea (particularly the smaller 2017 Cherokee) is all-round comfortable and suitably passenger-oriented. The Power Wagon version of the 2500 brought a similar experience, as you might expect (neither truck struggled with any of the tests) with its very similar level of 4x4 equipment. Bilstein shocks were also present, lockable front and rear axles and the addition of a front-mounted winch rated to handle up to 12,000 lbs. The Crew cab version I used also brought a decent amount (although not ‘Mega’) of interior roominess. In fact, many of the overall specs for both vehicles are likewise identical. To my untrained eye, it almost appears that a buyer could select either RAM, just based on your preference in badging and decals, and expect it to serve extremely well as a work (or play) three-quarter ton hauler.

Langford-based women grab rugby sevens Olympic bronze Don Descoteau Black Press

The Langford-based Canadian women's sevens rugby team gained a measure of revenge for an earlier Olympic tournament loss to Great Britain and came away with a bronze medal after beating the Brits 33-10 on Monday in Rio de Janeiro. The Canadians were all smiles after the convincing win at Deodoro Stadium, after suffering the disappointment of losing the earlier semifinal 17-5 to eventual champion Australia. The Aussies beat arch rival New Zealand 24-17 later Monday for gold. Canada head coach John Tait was thrilled with the results. “I'm just really proud

of the girls. I'm so happy to have a medal, to walk away with something,” he said after the bronze match. “The girls showed Canada how good they really are and this medal means a lot to me. This is such a great game and so many people are going to be switched onto it now. Hopefully that's going to keep us competitive and have us on the podium again in 2020.” The celebration of the team's medal result extended back to Langford, where a collection of fans and officials that included hall of fame rugby player Gareth Rees of Victoria gathered to watch the day's games at the Fan Zone at the Westin Bear Mountain Resort.

Monday's medal round match was quite different than the previous day's pool play contest between the teams, won 22-0 by Great Britain. Canada attacked from the opening kickoff and never trailed in the match, taking a 26-5 lead into the break and limiting the Brits' chances in the second half with hard tackling and stifling defensive play. Scoring for Canada in the match was spread around, with Ghislaine Landry going over for two tries and kicking four converts, while Karen Paquin, Bianca Farella and Kelly Russell also went over the try line. In the semifinal, the big Australian team took

full advantage of rare ball handling errors by Canada and looked very much like the team that won the World Rugby series this year. Leading 12-0 at the break, the Aussies opened up a 17-0 advantage in the second half before Canada could get on the board. Speedy rookie Charity Williams made the most of her limited playing time during the Olympics, scoring a try with 30 seconds left in the match to prevent a second Canadian shutout in the tournament. Canada had gone 2-1 in preliminary round play with wins over Japan (45-0) and Brazil (38-0) giving them second in Pool C behind Great Britain. editor@vicnews.com

Property managers are licensed professionals There’s much more to being a landlord than collecting rent Rick Stiebel Black Press

If you think all it takes to be a landlord is placing an ad and cashing the rent cheques, think again, very carefully. Most people think renting their house is quite easy, said Clair Flewelling-Wyatt, general manager of residential property management for Pemberton Holmes. “If you get a good tenant it can be,” she noted. “But with the way the Residential Tenancy Act is laid out, you can get into trouble very quickly.” Whether it’s a multi-million dollar property or a one-bedroom apartment, the problems can be the same because the rules are the same, she said. “Under the tenancy act, every-

one must abide by the same rules,” Flewelling-Wyatt said. “If you don’t understand those rules, you have no business being a landlord.” Property managers act as a liaison between the owner and the tenant by marketing and arranging showings, executing leases and taking care of maintenance and tenancy issues. “It’s not as much property management as people management,” Flewelling-Wyatt said. A lot of the reasons for that is that homeowners believe the property they’re renting is their investment or their home, while renters are coming in with the intention of making it their home, she explained. “Those two ideals can clash, so property managers have to manage both sets of expectations to ensure a smooth relationship,” she said. “You have to wear a lot of different hats.” Managing trades including plumbing, electrical, contractors,

insurance, lawyers and in some cases social services requires a varied collection of skill sets. “We’ve had to deal with emergencies like flood, fires, suicides, murder, loss of life. A lot of judgment is required to deal with those situations,” Flewelling-Wyatt said. “You have to be very thick-skinned. The burnout rate is about five years.” Other aspects of property management include collecting rent and making good decisions regarding maintenance to keep costs down. There’s also working with non-residents, explaining tax implications and helping the owner understand financial statements because the property is being run as a business. “There are consequences when people don’t pay rent,” she added. “It can involve arbitration, small claims court and situations that involve lawyers and lead to court.” Add to the mix that commercial and strata properties fall under a different set of rules, and it’s

easy to understand why professional property managers must be licensed through the B.C. Real Estate Association. “Pemberton Holmes has established its reputation through the level of training, experience and professionalism we provide,” Flewelling-Wyatt said. Pemberton Holmes is a familyrun business that has handled property management and real estate sales in the Victoria area and the South Island for more than 100 years. Four generations have carried on the family tradition since Joseph Pemberton first embarked upon his real estate ventures in 1887. With offices in Victoria, Langford, Sooke and the Cowichan Valley, they handle listings that include residences for rent and for sale, strata management and commercial property rental and sales.
