Co-op signs with TsartlipLocal First Nation community welcomes grocery store developmentLaura LavinNews Staff

The Peninsula Co-op has opened up its options.

The Co-op announced Thursday (July 21) it had come to an agreement with the Tsartlip First Nation to lease more than five acres of land at the corner of Gowdy Road and Stelly’s X Road in

Central Saanich to build a grocery store, gas bar and retail centre.

“Our community has looked forward to hav-ing an economic venture there for many years,” said Tsartlip Chief Wayne Morris. “We canvassed

our people and checked to find out what they want. What we asked for is exactly what we’ve agreed to (with the Co-op), a food store and gas bar. I feel we’ve achieved what the community asked for.”

Morris said the Tsartlip First Nation commu-nity has been working on a development project for more than two years. The interim agreement signed between the Peninsula Co-op board and the Tsartlip will have to be ratified by a refer-endum at Tsartlip that should be held in early October.

“The agreement allows us to fulfill the commit-ment made to all of our members that we will make every effort to locate our new food market and head office in Central Saanich where we began 35 years ago and have a substantial cus-tomer and employment base.” said Ron Gaudet, president of the Co-op’s board of directors.

The Co-op has been working with the District of Central Saanich to build its new store on West Saanich Road near Keating X Road. Because that land is outside of the district’s urban contain-ment boundary, the application must go to the

Almost a year after it opened its newest hangar, the BC Aviation Museum (BCAM) is flying along on one of its biggest proj-ects ever — the restoration of the Trans Canada Airlines Vickers-Armstrong Vis-count 757.

The BCAM, which has been in opera-tion now for more than 20 years, came to own the Viscount after it was able to purchase it from the BC Institute of Technology in 2005. It was brought over on a barge from Vancouver and placed at the museum until work could begin to restore it.

In 2007, work began on the exterior components of the aircraft which will eventually be restored to how it was when it was in service as a passenger

aircraft in the 1960s. Although aviation museum members

were excited about the acquisition and planned restoration of the Viscount, there was something else on the horizon for the organization.

“Our main goal along with restoring the Viscount was to build a new han-gar to house larger planes and keep them out of the elements,” said past presi-dent and long-time board member, Bill Locker. The BCAM made the decision to build the hangar in 2005 but needed money before construction could begin.

“We fundraised for two years before we were able to start building,” said Locker.

Former president, the late Stan Hen-derson who the hangar is named after,

applied for funding through the pro-vincial government. Unfortunately, the request was turned down.

“We were able to raise enough for the hangar from our fundraising efforts and

from contributions from our members and their estates to complete the project,” said Locker. “We had a lot of help from our donors, from the Victoria Airport Authority, from everyone.”

Overall, the construction of the hangar cost the BCAM more than $1 million, but it was all worth it, Locker said.

“We’re very pleased to have some-where to house and work on the larger

Salt Spring Island’s Gary Holman has his eyes set on Victoria after winning the NDP nomination for Saan-ich North and the Gulf Islands.

In one of the few rid-ings where the nomi-nation was contested, Holman was running against Mike Eso, who chairs the Victoria Labour Council.

The actual numbers won’t be released, but Holman called the result “decisive,” while noting the stiff competi-tion put up by the com-munity leader.

“He ran a very strong, professional campaign. His communications team was quite formi-dable,” Holman said.

NDP party members elected to give Holman another chance after impressive results in the 2009 election. He was just a few hundred

votes shy of taking the seat from incumbent MLA Murray Coell, with 12,000 people casting votes in his favour.

Holman said he and Eso will now be work-ing together in the cam-paign to unseat Coell and the Liberal govern-ment in the next elec-tion, which is expected to take place this fall. He also hopes for greater unity between voters of different political stripes to make that happen.

“There’s no ques-tion a NDP govern-ment would be more socially responsible and more environmen-tally responsible, and it wouldn’t be at the expense of the econ-omy,” said Holman, who works as a consult-ing economist.

“The lesson of Eliza-beth May is that if you want to have a progres-sive candidate, you have to think past party lines.”

Holman said his first

step will be getting more involved in the campaign to scrap the Harmonized Sales Tax, which he said benefits only large corporate interests at the expense of the public interest and government ser-vices.editor@peninsulanewsre-

A process of renewal for the Saanich Gulf Islands Federal Liberal Association began with a barbeque on July 25 at Elk Lake and con-tinues through August with a series of workshops.

“Liberals across the country are participating in this renewal process,” said Ray Larson, presi-dent of the Saanich Gulf Islands association. “We need to rebuild our party to be more relevant to Canadians now and in the future and to rediscover and renew those deeply held principles and ide-als that bind us together both as a party and as Canadians.”

The Saanich Gulf Islands association appointed North Saanich resident Kit Spence as chair of the renewal process.

“It’s all about build-ing for the future,” said Spence. “The process is designed as a collabora-tive effort involving any-one who has an interest in maintaining a strong mid-dle of the road presence in Canadian politics.

“We want to hear, not just from Liberal mem-bers, but from anyone who thinks that the spirit and purpose of good government is to maintain both a strong economy and outstanding care for citizens.”

More information about the renewal process is available on the Saanich Gulf Islands Federal Liberal Electoral District Association web site at http://sgi.liberal.ca.

Alycia Coulter, couldn’t be more excited about what the next year will bring.

Coulter, 18, who lives in North Saanich and graduated from St. Margaret’s school this year, began considering a career in politics when she was in Grade 10.

“I attended the Forum for Young Canadians in Ottawa in April 2009 and I knew then I wanted to be a part of the political world,” said Coulter of her aspirations. With her experiences at the Forum for Young Canadians in mind, she decided to apply for the House of Commons Page Program in Grade 12.

The page program has been a fixture in the Canadian Parlia-ment for more than a century. The program selects 40 young adults from hundreds of applicants all over the country every year. The selected candidates get first-hand experience at being in the senate during meetings and assisting in duties such as the distribution of documents and passing of mes-sages between members.

In between her duties at school as Head Girl, her leadership for the basketball and volleyball teams of St. Margaret’s, her extracurricular softball participation, volunteer-ing with Queen Alexandra Youth Advisory Committee, and a part time job as a bank teller, Coulter began the page program applica-

tion process in December, 2010. “I had to send in the applica-

tion, reference letters, and a letter of intent. In mid-February I was contacted by phone for the sec-ond language quota, that was the part I was most nervous for,” she explained. “My only experiences in the French language come from my French courses in school which wasn’t French immersion.

“Most candidates selected for the page program are either bilin-gual because they grew up in a place where French was spoken regularly or because they attended

French immersion. I didn’t do either, so it was a big challenge for me to get my French to that point,” she said.

Coulter credits her French teachers at St. Margaret’s for her success in being chosen as a page. “I couldn’t have done it without them. All the hours they spent with me after school and on the phone walking me through interview scenarios — they were so supportive. I never thought I would be able to do it, but with their encouragement I did.”

On May 11 Coulter got the call

from Ottawa. “I saw the caller ID said Ontario and I knew right away, I was so excited,” she said.

At the end of August, Coulter will travel to Ottawa and get set-tled in at Carleton University. She will be studying Public Affairs and Policy Management and says she is excited about this year in the House of Commons.

“With the election being so recent, it will be a very exciting and interesting year in Parliament — I’m really looking forward to it.”

“We have been very con-cerned with the way things were going (with the applica-tion) and the determination of those who are opposed to it,” said Co-op board chair of planning, Gordon Denford. He said the board believed it would have to move the store and Co-op headquarters out of the area entirely. “We were prepared to go to the Western Communities, but the board was not happy about it, I was not happy about it. Then the opportunity arose to join the Tsartlip and to negotiate an agreement to build a new store along with auxiliary rental units and a gas bar — it’s quite a sub-stantial investment,” he said.

“To us it’s not only financially good, but it means we are mov-ing forward, benefiting our com-munity by way of employment and having a service station there. Not only for ourselves, but for the whole community of Central Saanich,” said Mor-ris. “Because Co-op is so big, with so many members it will be a benefit to everybody.’

The Co-op will continue with its application for development on West Saanich Road until the Tsartlip referendum is held. “If the referendum passes, that’s where we’ll build the store and gas bar,” said [email protected]

The BCAM is an organization completely driven and run by volunteers. Everyone who works in the museum, including the tour

guides, the restora-tion crew, and the office staff are all there because they have a passion for the organization. “This is an exciting place,” said Locker. “It has a way of becoming a part of your life and a part

of your family.” The museum is open every day of the year

with the exception of Christmas and New Year’s Day. Admission and member dona-tions keep the organization going and help the museum keep their displays interesting.

“We always have people coming in and ask-ing us if there is anything new … We always have something new going on here, things are always changing,” said Locker. The BCAM will be hosting its annual open house on Aug. 6 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., admission is by donation. For more information on events at the museum, visit www.bcam.net.

COMMUNITYNEWSIN BRIEF

Laura LavinNews staff

The man known as ‘Mr. Sid-ney’, Donald William Trivett died July 17, just two weeks after he was honoured by the little town he loved.

Born Aug. 21, 1929 in Calgary, Alberta, Don and his wife Doreen retired to Sidney, after selling a successful stationery store in Victoria. He became a tireless volunteer, giving his time to many local causes for more than 40 years.

Trivett’s dedication to the wellbeing of the citizens of Sid-ney began when he took over the ailing Sidney Festival Society, reorganized it and changed its name to the Peninsula Celebra-tions Society.

Under his energetic and dedi-cated direction the community and the Celebrations Society were once again able to take pride in the renewed enthusi-asm with which the community celebrates events.

Trivett was the chair of the Celebrations Society for 10 years in the 1980s and 90s and was a big supporter of the Sidney Days festivities.

“One of the most time-con-suming and satisfying things I’ve done was help with the resurrec-tion of Sidney Days,” said Trivett in a 1999 interview with the PEN-

INSULA NEWS REVIEW.Trivett, in his work with Pen-

insula Celebrations, was actively involved in other events such as the 1988 Olympic Torch cer-emony, Miss Sidney Pageant, 100th Birthday Celebrations in 1991, the MacKenzie Artificial Reef Project, Saltwater Festival and the International Town Cri-er’s Competitions.

Trivett was a big part of estab-lishing the Sidney Lions Food Bank in 1980 and helped start the annual Santa Claus parade in 1994.

In addition to his volunteer work with the Peninsula Cele-brations Society, Trivett was a supporter of the Memorial Park Society. He served as a director until 2002.

In the mid 1990s, Trivett was integral in the pre-planning of the Sanscha Community Cultural Centre Foundation (SCCCF), the foundation formed to raise fund-ing and oversee construction of a new community and cultural centre, and in 1996 was a found-ing member of the SCCCF.

Trivett was a key player in the building of the new Mary Win-spear Community Cultural Cen-tre and fundraised the first dol-lars.

For his outstanding commu-nity support and making the community a better place to live, Trivett was awarded the Mayor’s Community Builder Award by the Town of Sidney on June 30.

The award honours and recog-nizes his outstanding, long-term initiative and leadership in the development of Sidney.

A commemorative plaque outlining his achievements was placed in the garden area sur-rounding the Beacon Park Pavil-ion.

Trivett leaves behind Doreen his wife of 58 years, his daughter Debra with children; Jessica and James, and son David with his daughter Sarah.

A celebration of his life will be held at the Mary Winspear Cen-ter in Sidney on Sunday, Aug. 21, at 2 p.m.

EDITORIAL

The B.C. government has released its audited public accounts for what Bill Vander Zalm enthusiasts strain to depict as Year One of the Harmonized Sales Tax Apocalypse.

So let’s survey this allegedly bleak landscape of shuttered hair salons and seniors hoarding pet food, waiting for Belgian bureaucrats to come calling for more.

Retail sales increased 5.3 per cent in 2010. Growth has softened so far this year, but there’s no evidence it’s due to the HST. (Retail sales are mostly goods, which are mostly unaffected.)

B.C.’s economy grew by four per cent, third in Canada behind those new northern tigers Saskatchewan and Newfoundland. We beat Alberta as well as have-not Ontario.

The provincial deficit dropped by nearly a billion dollars, even though spending on government services continued its relentless rise with another billion-dollar increase. That’s four per cent spending growth, the same as the growth rate of the economy. But as usual, two thirds of it is health-care spending, growing closer to twice that fast.

Hair salons? My barber voted No to Vander Zalm. His accounting is simpler, his price is still reasonable and customers aren’t generally prepared to start cutting their own hair.

Restaurant association head Ian Tostenson predicted thousands of

restaurants would close because of HST, and then mused about running for premier. Fortunately, we were spared from both of these scenarios.

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon put out some spin about how tight-fisted spending control brought the deficit down from the 10-figure range. Prudence, he called it. Prune juice is more like it.

It was economic growth that paid the bills, with mills and mines opening and consumers spending. Former premier Bill Bennett’s observation still applies: B.C. is a small, open resource economy in a volatile world market.

Commodity markets have strengthened to the point where even the rising Canadian dollar is being overcome. Expansion to Asia is proceeding, assisted by a long-term federal-provincial strategy that the NDP opposed. A skilled labour shortage already exists in the B.C. northeast and is forecast to spread across the province.

The government’s latest labour market survey estimates that B.C. will be in a labour shortage by 2016, and there will be one million job openings by 2020. One third of these will come from economic growth, two thirds from retiring baby boomers. Unlike next year’s HST revenues, this prediction

is relatively easy to make with precision.

Job growth does depend, however, on a competitive tax environment, with competition from Ontario and elsewhere.

The public accounts also confirm what we found out last fall, that HST revenues have run ahead of expectations. HST haters like to claim the tax was promised to be revenue neutral. That finance ministry estimate was only for the first year, and it proved pessimistic. As with gasoline prices, external forces drown out B.C. tax adjustments in the short term.

Currently it looks as if going back to the old provincial sales tax will cost the treasury about $600 million in revenue in each of the next few years. HST rate cuts are made up by economic growth.

Or we can return to a 60-year-old retail sales tax developed for a post-war, pre-service economy, and continue a B.C. political debate that revolves around 30-year-old socialist ideology. The deficit will immediately jump back up to the 10-digit range.

So if your HST referendum envelope is still in the bottom of your recycling bin, you might consider fishing it out and casting a No vote. They have to be delivered to Elections BC by Aug. 5.

What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: [email protected] or fax 250-656-5526. All letters must have a name and a telephone number for verification.

To use an antiquated idiom, the Peninsula Co-op has shown the District of Central Saanich and the CRD that there is indeed, more than one way to skin a cat.

Thinking outside municipal boundaries the Co-op should be able to achieve its goal of keeping its grocery store/headquarters within the same geographic area, while at

the same time, avoiding the district’s restrictive urban containment boundary.

By coming to an agreement with the

Tsartlip First Nation, whose land is governed by themselves along with the federal government, the Co-op will be able to build its development — and more — on Tsartlip land in Brentwood Bay.

The location is not as ideal for shoppers as its proposed West Saanich Road property, or even it’s current location on Keating X Road. It will locate the new store within a few kilometres of two existing grocery stores in the area, leaving residents of the northeast corner of the community to travel, most likely, to Saanich for their groceries.

While the economic benefits to the Tsartlip people are undeniable, those tax dollars could have easily been in Central Saanich’s pocket, had bureaucracy not been in the way.

The district, and therefore its taxpayers, may also be on the hook for improvements to Stelly’s X Road and other infrastructure leading up to the development — an added cost to the municipality without the benefit of additional revenue from tax dollars.

And what will become of the Co-op’s land on West Saanich Road? It has never been seriously used as farm land to grow crops and could potentially be sold or developed in another way.

While bureaucracy has favoured the Tsartlip First Nation in this instance, it may well be a wake-up call to all municipalities who are also home to First Nation communities to cut the red tape.

Re: Tsartlip Dig For Health (PNR July 13).So, after much bickering and arguing, it turns out we all ready

have two-tier health care in this country? One for aboriginals and one for everyone else. Both of which are paid for by everyone else.

Couldn’t the Tsartlip people, and other aboriginals in the area, just use the newly completed, multi-million dollar private health care centre on the Tsawout reserve?

John MacIntyre,Central Saanich

I wonder, do we really live in a democracy?Teachers demands for a new contract show they think they are

a little better than the rest of us, and you can’t get rid of the bad ones.

The police seem to be able to do anything they want and nothing will happen to them, BC Ferries, hydro, municipalities and others think we are a bottomless pit of money they can take from and there is nothing we can do about it.

Some day, soon I hope, people are going to have had enough. They aren’t going to put up with this anymore. What they will do I’m not sure.

I just know we are drifting towards a situation where people won’t care about anything but themselves and trying to survive.

This is a democracy?Vick Henderson,Central Saanich

I have been taught to think it out and do it right the first time.Let me say first that I am glad that the HST was proposed as a ‘combined’ tax. It simplifies

accounting procedures, reduces administrative burden and greatly trims price distortions in the marketplace. It makes sense.

What upsets me immensely is the way the provincial government introduced this taxation and what assessed components of consumerism were included in the HST tax.

In fact I would not be surprised if the people of B.C. Vote down the HST based solely on the representational process of this tax.

I do stand corrected that the HST does not apply to basic food items such as bread and milk, or to prescription drugs. However the fact remains that it has become a major contentious issue in competitive small business practises because of what this tax does include.

Another serious problem lies in the fact that this government thought it could appease the public by lowering the overall tax — possibly within three years, and not really face the real-world problems people are discovering today in accumulative daily net income loss.

The pity is that if the HST referendum is turned down, the government in its mistaken approach again, will apparently be changing back to the PST and GST taxation system instead of making the necessary changes to the HST to allow it work work properly for the all citizens of this province.

If I had one wish to be granted it would be that this government not play politics with our tax system and make the real and essential changes to enhance our economy over the long haul.

Len Fallon,Central Saanich

It is laudable when an individual makes a charitable donation to a cause of his choice, as did Craig Mearns with his donation towards a playground for the North Saanich middle school (Private donation pushes playground ahead PNR June 29). However, it is disappointing that councillor Mearns used the event as an opportunity to publicly criticize North Saanich council in respect of a decision which he supported.

Each year, North Saanich council receives numerous requests for grants in aid from local organizations to support worthy causes in the community. It is established practice that applications need to be received by Jan. 31 each year. Unfortunately the request in regard to the playground was not received until April 28 and therefore could not be considered for this year, since all of the funding for grants in aid had already been allotted.

Further councillor Mearns is quoted as saying “After turning down the application from the school [council] passed one from the CRD …”. This was not a grant in aid application, nor was it made to the CRD.

What he is alluding to is a separate matter, a donation to the Regional Housing Trust Fund. North Saanich is one of 11 regional municipalities regularly contributing to the fund which has been extremely successful, through partnering with senior levels of government, in providing affordable housing in the Capital Region. Since 2005, 361 housing units have been provided, housing more than 120 families and more than 235 individuals.

Finally, the article states Craig Mearns sees his donation as a little bit of a payback. Regardless of his motivation, by not accurately and completely stating the background facts councillor Mearns casts his council in an unfavourable light which is both unjustified and inappropriate.

Alice Finall,Mayor, North Saanich

The Pat Bay highway southbound between Haliburton and Royal Oak Avenue has sprung some signs concerning the HST referendum which smacks of BC Liberal obfuscation.

There are a series of them which say: Keep our 1.6 billion: Keep our nurses, Keep our doctors, Keep our teachers, Keep our police, Keep our judges, and Considering the HST benefits.

Well the inference here is that without the HST there will be no nurses, doctors, teachers, judges or police. (There was a sign about larger class sizes now gone — so class sizes would be huge.)

Quite apart from the misleading suggestions, I would challenge the author and installer of these signs to tell us all exactly how many new nurses, doctors, teachers, police and judges have been granted to us since the HST came into being.

I am sure we would all like to know and more particularly where are they now?

Once again I’m back home after my two days away in Cedar.

It was a change, which I sup-pose is a good thing, but my brother and sister-in-law are both so wracked up with ill-ness I felt like Tarzan in comparison, and all they seem to do is watch TV.

Their front garden though is just beauti-ful. Of course the back-ground view is of the ocean, but the garden itself is comprised of a series of 14 brown pots set in a triangle on 14 pavers at the far-thest end of a large patio. The pots are filled with pink gerani-ums, darker pink fibrous bego-nias and lots of trailing white boccopa, really lovely, and cer-

tainly easy to care for. There are hanging baskets

as well, suspended from a trel-lis and these are filled with a mixture of trail-ing red geraniums, bright yellow dai-sies (which look fine, which they shouldn’t) white boccopa and red fibrous begonias, and these attract the odd humming bird. Not a fuchsia in the place, but there were four stems of heliotrope in another pot and two of the tallest blue alli-ums I’ve ever seen in a small bed next to the

patio table and chairs. Behind the house there are

three small plastic greenhouses and in these are planted spin-ach, chard, zucchini squash, and

a couple of rows of carrots, but these are tended by a weekly gardener, not my brother. I lec-tured him about it, suggesting to him the joys of raising vegeta-bles yourself, the thrill of finding sprouting seeds, and growing plants, but he was having none of it.

I think he has given up on life, which troubles me deeply, but his wife is very ill, although still alive and living at home, being cared for by a couple of dear, sweet-natured girls who have the patience of growing grass, and feed her like a baby.

She seems unable to hold onto anything in her mouth and the food drops out onto her lap. It certainly took away my appe-tite, and I tried not to watch, but I guess my brother is used to it, because he tucked right in, and even had dessert.

Cadet leads survival trainingKathryn Pratt is spending her summer

leading youth in basic survival. Lieut. Pratt, 22, is a Reserve member in the

Cadet Instructors Cadre (CIC) branch of the Canadian Forces and routinely works with the local 676 Kittyhawk air cadet squadron.

This summer she’s working at the train-ing centre at Albert Head Air Cadet Summer Training Centre in Metchosin as a Flight Commander for the Basic Survival Course. There she will lead air cadets learning about surviving in the field, ground search and rescue techniques, and ground navigation skills.

Pratt, a University of Victoria student, has been a member of the CIC for three years and was an air cadet for six years.

On July 13 Lt.-Col. Richard Mudryk, com-manding officer at Albert Head, presented Pratt with her commissioning scroll, a cer-tificate that officially declares her an officer in the Canadian Forces.

The cadet program is designed to con-tribute to the development and preparation of youth for the transition to adulthood, enabling them to meet the challenges of modern society through a dynamic, com-munity-based program. Canadian Forces Reserve Cadet Instructors Cadre Officers are responsible for cadet training, supervi-sion and administration. The vast major-ity serve the Canadian Forces on a part-time basis while continuing full-time stud-ies or pursuing a civilian career. The CIC celebrated 100 years of service to Canada in 2009.

Federal NDP leader Jack Lay-ton is taking an indefinite medi-cal leave from the leadership of the party, after being diagnosed with a second type of cancer.

Appearing thin and hoarse-voiced at a news conference in Ottawa on Monday, Layton said treatment continues to be successful for prostate cancer,

which was diagnosed in 2010.He continued treatment until

this year's election that saw him elevated to leader of the official opposition. Layton did not dis-close what other kind of cancer has been detected since, but vowed to recover and return to lead the party when the House of Commons resumes sitting in September.

Layton recommended Hull-Aylmer MP Nycole Turmel, one of a surge of new Quebec MPs that lifted the NDP to 103 seats.

Leader since 2003, Layton was the focus of the NDP cam-paign that saw a collapse of Lib-eral and Bloc Quebecois sup-port.

A recent TD Bank study found that only 50 per cent of Canadians remain at the same address for more than five years; some 20 per cent of homeowners have owned more than five homes; and 23 per cent plan to move again within six years. We surely are a nomadic population.

Even more interesting were the reasons respondents gave for their planned moves. At 29 per cent, retirement was the top reason; boredom with their current home was the rationale of 16 per cent. Planned moves were evenly split between downsizing and upsizing.

Given, as this survey illustrates, the high mobility of Canadians, it’s easy to understand its effect on the Canadian economy. We keep almost 100,000 realtors employed nationwide. Moving companies, furniture stores, appraisers, inspectors, decorators and lenders all benefit from this constant churning of what is usually our most important asset — our personal home. And let’s not forget the governments which benefit from property purchase and sales taxes charged at

every stage of the relocation process.

All this mobility is great for the economy. However, it is the relocating homeowner who pays the entire bill. Using Greater Victoria’s current average single-family home price of approximately $600,000, the total cost of selling this home and moving up to, for example, a $700,000 home, can easily top $50,000 by the time the family is

fully relocated and settled-in. In effect, the real cost of a $100,000 upgrade is closer to $150,000. These high transaction and settling-in costs also explain why downsizing retirees usually end up with much less in their pocket than the simple difference in the selling prices of the two residences.

This is not to suggest we should not move. However, it is important to not only understand the real cost of a move, but also to not act impulsively without first considering all options. If a move is going to cost $50,000, might those funds be better spent on improving the suitability of the current home to meet the changing needs of

its owner? Generally, our housing needs

inevitably evolve as family size grows and then declines. Many of us start out with a condo, progress to a townhouse, then a first house, followed by a larger one, then again move to a small house or strata property upon retirement. Despite these natural pressures however, we can rationally consider and plan relocations which are truly beneficial and cost-effective as we move through the various life-stages. An impulse move, simply out of boredom, may be better solved with a nice $5,000 vacation in Hawaii, rather than an unnecessary $50,000 relocation cost.

Average Victorians moving into their first home can expect to own at least five more homes in their lifetime. That’s 10 more buying and selling transactions — an aggregate of over $6 million in property values. If prudently avoided, just one less buy-and-sell during our lifetime can make a significant difference to our ultimate net worth — and more trips to Hawaii.

Christine van ReeuwykNews staff

Pacific Cycling Centre ath-lete Annie Ewart put in a gold medal performance at the Junior Nationals in Ontario, coming away with two golds and one sil-ver medal.

“It went according to plan I guess,” Ewart said, in a phone interview.

The Central Saanich teen took on the nation during the Cana-dian Junior/Master/Paracycling Road Championships June 30 to July 3.

Ewart won the Junior Women’s 16.7km time trial title in 24:08. “It’s what I’ve been focussing on this year,” she said. “It was hard … it’s the ultimate race, it’s just you against the clock.”

The following day she placed second in the Criterium, although she was also in the running for a first place finish, being beaten at the line by Allison Beveridge.

“We did it on the Indy F1 track in Toronto … at the CNE. It was pretty neat,” she said. “I was happy with silver, a good friend won, she definitely deserved the

win.” On July 3 she took her second

gold in the 68-kilometre road race. She was riding in the pela-ton with three laps to go when she made a break with three other riders. She won it on the last lap in 2:02:09 ahead of Bev-eridge and Alizée Brien.

“It was brutally hot, 32, 33 degrees and that’s without the humidity,” Ewart said. “I don’t mind the heat, you’ve just got to make sure you’re drinking con-stantly otherwise it’s pretty easy to bonk. I was really focussing on drinking at least every five minutes.”

In the last quarter lap she gave up on the water and just went

for the win. “It was just head down and

hammer to the finish line,” Ewart said.

After the races, Ewart was among the 16 athletes chosen for a post-nationals week-long training camp.

“It was great … we never see each other. It was really good to get to know everyone,” Ewart said. “It’ll be a lot easier and a lot better when we go to worlds or youth Commonwealth games to race with them.”

Ewart hopes to represent Can-ada at the Junior World Champi-onships in October.

“Annie is one of those athletes that knows what she wants and knows what works,” said coach Houshang Amiri of Victoria’s Pacific Cycling Centre. “Despite her very young age she is doing everything according to the plan on the bike and off the bike … Her performance at the Nation-als is the result of commitment, dedication, work ethic, family support and confidence in her-self.”

[email protected]

Stelly’s alumni Erinne Willock finished third in the Canadian National Road Championships.

The Pacific Cycling Centre athlete was among those in the 103 kilometre race on the outskirts of Burlington, Ontario. It consisted of eight laps with some challenging climbs including a steep finish-ing climb up the Niag-ara Escarpment. Wil-lock’s strength is hills and each of her climbs challenged the pelaton.

The lead pack wasn’t decided until the last climb when Veronique Fortin sprinted to the finish. Willock was just edged from second place by Lex Albrecht.

Central Saanich cyclist Annie Ewart will spend the summer setting the pace, and hoping to race in the Junior World Championships this fall.

Willock third at nationals

Don’t bonk� In endurance sports to bonk is much like hitting the wall. It’s a condition caused by the depletion of glycogen stores in the liver and muscles, causing sudden fatigue and loss of energy.

Dormant club’s future in the airCharla HuberNews staff

The beleaguered Westshore Sting-ers Junior B hockey team will sit out this season but could be back with a new owner for 2012-13.

A deposit was placed on the Stingers, league president Greg Bat-ters said, but at this point the team hasn’t been sold.

Batters said the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League’s Stingers will likely change ownership.

The Stingers dropped out last year when a number of players were let go after a mutiny, leav-ing the team without enough bodies. The team is now nothing more than a name, without players or a coach.

John Butler-Smythe owned and operated the team for seven sea-sons in Sooke and on the West Shore, but a new buyer has shown interest in the team.

The potential buyer is remaining anonymous until the deal closes.

“Just because you have a Junior B franchise doesn’t mean you’ll be successful,” Batters said. “Nobody is getting rich owning a Junior B team.”

Butler-Smythe didn’t return phone calls seeking comment on

the sale of the team.The VIJHL has received an appli-

cation from a team in Nanaimo hop-ing to add its name to the league’s roster, but Batters said it’s still important to get a West Shore team back into the league.

“We have had a lot of good play-ers come out of the West Shore,” said Batters, noting that many West Shore players skate for teams throughout the VIJHL.

“We don’t want just a team in the West Shore, we want a good fran-chise.”

Batters said a good franchise is created through good ownership, good leadership as well as every-

one involved respect-ing the game and all the people involved.

The Stingers fran-chise has struggled for years to secure victories in both cit-ies.

The team’s last win was Dec. 12, 2009. Prior to that, the only

victory was in December 2007 as the Sooke Stingers.

The team complained of not being able to secure enough ice time at the busy West Shore Parks and Recreation ice sheets.

A lack of practice and fitness led to an early spate of injuries last sea-son. Frustration over losses led to a mutiny by a number of players who refused to take to the ice before a game in November 2010.

After 14 games with zero wins and not enough players, the Sting-

ers effectively shut down.Less than half the group of

stranded Stingers returned to the midget level. Seventeen Stingers

players went to other Junior B teams via a dispersal draft on Dec. 10, 2010.

The Westshore Stingers players did their best to compete with perennial powers like the Victoria Cougars, but the club struggled to retain its talented and experienced players.

“We don’t want just a team in the West Shore, we want a good franchise.”

– Greg Batters

With Junior B training camps three weeks away the Victoria Cougars added three midget players to the roster.

Cougars’ camp opens Aug. 15 and Nathan Chen-Mack, Kyle Richter, and Trevor Chown should be there.

Coach Mark Van Helvoirt still has a lot of spots to fill but is happy with the recent additions.

Both Chen-Mack and Richter are 17-year-olds coming off a season with the South Island Thunder-birds of B.C.’s Major Midget League. Van Helvoirt calls Chen-Mack, a five-foot-10, 180-pound forward, a well-rounded, hard working player. He accumulated 11 goals and 12 assists in 43 games. Richter is also five-foot-10, but with a little room to fill out at just 150 pounds. Richter was a point-per-game player with 18 goals for 41 points in 41 games with the T-Birds last season.

Chown is a five-foot-11, 175-pound, defenceman from Calgary’s midget-AAA league. He scored 25 points in 40 games last year and is described by Van Helvoirt as an all-around defence-man who should play a key role on the special teams.

VisionMattersHealthy Eyes.Doctor Delivered.

Self treatmentof tired eyes

If your eyes get tired or infl amed occasionally, taking eye drops to make them feel better may ac-tually increase the risk of future problems.

Your eyes are very precious and delicate. They should never be treated without the advice of your eye care professional. Valuable time may be lost in detecting vision problems if you decide to treat tired or infl amed eyes yourself. It could be that the eye drops feel soothing or you believe washing out your eyes with a home remedy is all you need to relieve a minor eye problem. True, not all infl amed eyes are a sign of something serious, and perhaps the condition will soon alleviate itself. However, any persistent eye problem, even a minor one, should have professional care, as it could be a symptom of something more serious.

You should have your eyes examined regularly, even if you’ve never had a problem in seeing clear-ly. You should have them examined to ensure they remain healthy and function properly.

Japan’s past disasters spring to life through printsSam Van SchieNews staff

When an earthquake and tsunami turned Japan’s northeast coast into a swampy wasteland earlier this year, photos were only an Internet search away.

But when three similar disasters struck the island nation between the mid-1800s and early-1900s, before the days of film cameras, the Jap-anese government had to rely on more creative means to show the devastation.

Artists would be commissioned to design posters to depict the carnage that resulted from the ocean’s pound-ing. Their images would be mass pro-duced using a woodblock printing method that involved carving wood stamps for each colour and hand-pressing the layers onto the poster, one at a time.

“It was a very labour-intensive pro-cess,” explained Barry Till, curator of Asian art at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, where dozens of these disas-ter prints are on display.

The posters look something like watercolour paintings and they would be distributed throughout the country. People would collect them to hang in their home, though the subject matter was rather grim.

One print included in the exhibit shows a naked woman in a wooden bathtub riding atop a wave filled with bodies, as a man clings to a pole trying to rescue someone from the water. A volcano explodes in the background.

“The woman survived — the wave dropped her and her bathtub on a hilltop,” Till said, explaining that the

prints were based on true events. “Each one is a little history lesson.”

Other posters show people jump-ing from a wooden bridge as it burns or a train derailed by the shifting earth. All depict many casualties.

“This is how the government recruited people to help rebuild the cities or to donate money for relief,” Till said.

While the exhibit, which opened in June, was timely because of the March earthquake in Japan — the gallery scheduled it long before that tragedy — there’s more than just disaster prints on display.

Japan also produced numerous propaganda posters using the wood-

block method during the 1894 war against China and the 1904 war with Russia, to help recruit sol-diers and build national pride. Unlike the disaster prints, the war posters rarely showed death or injury and when they did, it was usually an enemy down.

“They glorify the Japanese soldiers as heroes,” Till said.

Before the two wars, the Japanese military had received training in Europe. The posters show the Japanese wearing Western-style uniforms and

using more advanced artillery than the opposing soldiers.

“Some of the posters are quite racist, and we’re expecting some people will be offended by them,” Till said.

“We include the controversial prints because they were part of the art of the time.”

The exhibit, War and Disaster in Japanese Prints, continues at the Greater Victoria Art Gallery until Sept. 5. For more information visit www.aggv.ca.

Well, it’s been a very busy month this month. It seems the change in weather has brought on a infl ux of bumps and scrapes.

I don’t know if it’s because people feel more stable on the road, so speed is increased, or if it could even be the distractions on the sidewalks that diverts attention. Whatever the case, we still see the majority of customers unprepared for what happens when accidents do.

The fi rst question we ask customers that come through the door is if they will be using their insurance company to help with repairs, or if they will be paying for repairs themselves.

We ask this not because we estimate differently for customer pay or insurance work, as some people may think.

We ask because a lot of time can be saved if we know up front.

I’ll tell you right now, if you look at your policy (the paper thingy in the glovebox that says “Autoplan”) and you have a driving record that says 43% (20), this means you have an excellent driving record and as long as you didn’t opt for a high deductible, you

should make a claim.

We cannot repair anything these days for under $300.00, which is an average collision deductible.

If my painter has to pull the trigger on one of his $700.00 paint guns, it’s going to automatically cost $300.00.

My insurance policy says 43% (15). That means I have a good record, and have not had a claim for 15 years. Pretty good, but hoping it gets better.

Also, if you do happen to have a bump, it is completely within your rights to phone your insurance company to fi nd out how your policy will change if by chance

you do make a claim.

They will be very helpful as the competition for customers is heating up out there.

And last but not least, please bring all your info in to us. We can have a look for you and help you make the claim right in our offi ce. Oh and one more thing. I do LOVE summer

and all the good things it brings.

Cheers, Steve Weller

Teen actors tackle operaCharla HuberNews staff

Teenagers with larger-than-life voices will soon be belting out stellar notes.

About 15 talented singers have signed on to the St. Michaels University School summer voice academy and will perform a youth opera in Victoria next week.

The cast includes youth from across B.C. and Alberta ranging from Grade 8 through 12.

“Most of them are very accomplished singers,” said Dawn Wilson, director of education extension and international programs at SMUS.

In applying for the program, students submitted audio recordings of themselves performing several pieces of music.

“They were selected based on their musical ability and singing quality,” Wil-son said.

While this is the first time the youth opera program has been offered at the school, it’s the third year for the academy of voice. “This is quite unique (to be)

learning about this genre,” she said.Students are learning and rehearsing

Pandora’s Locker, an opera sung in Eng-lish and based on the Greek myth, Pando-ra’s Box. The story is set in a high school, making it easier for the singers to relate to it, Wilson added.

Surrey resident Dylan Braico, 18, is one of two male students in the group, but is the only male boarding at the school dur-ing the program.

“I am not going to lie, it’s nice being the only guy,” he said, adding that he’s still a bit intimidated approaching a large group of girls.

Braico has performed on stage most of his life, starting with his debut as the lead in The Muffin Man at age six. He has a vocal coach and enjoys singing jazz and anything by Frank Sinatra.

Even with that level of experience he has never studied opera, or thought about it much.

But everything changed at a recent competition.

At the Fraser Valley Music Festival in

April, Braico sang The Music of the Night from Phantom of the Opera.

Once of the judges was Joanne Houn-sell. She was moved to tears listening him sing and ultimately offered him a scholar-ship to the SMUS youth opera program.

“I thought he had a beautiful, natural talent,” said Hounsell, artistic director at SMUS. “I want to encourage kids who have career voices, but they need to get a foundation.”

At first he was wary of joining a group of teens who have studied the craft for years, but eventually he was persuaded to join the group.

“This is a great experience and a lot of good training,” he said.

Pandora’s Locker performances are July 29 at 7:30 p.m. and July 30 at 2:30 p.m. at the Philip T. Young Recital Hall at the Uni-versity of Victoria.

Tickets are $20.50 for adults and $17.50 for students and seniors, available at the McPherson Box Office (250-386-6121) or online at www.rmts.bc.ca.

Q: Dear BBB,This morning I received a threatening phone call from a man that claimed I had a court action fi led against me. He gave me a legitimate sounding fi le number for the court action as proof. The man claimed that the matter was in regards to a loan of $4000 in my name that I had not paid. He told me, in a rather aggressive tone, that I would be arrested if I did not pay the loan promptly as per the court action. He then proceeded to make a claim that for $250 and my Social Insurance Num-ber, that they could stop the warrant for my arrest. The caller was so threatening and aggressive, I was unnerved, but I was pretty sure that this was a scam of some sort, so I just hung up the phone. Is this a scam? Has anyone else reported something like this? Is there something I should be doing to ensure that there isn’t a court action against me?~ Frightened Friend

A: Frightened Friend,You were RIGHT to assume this caller was a scam artist and to hang up the phone. If you legitimately had a court action fi led against you in regards to an unpaid loan, you would likely have been informed, prior to this phone call, about the mat-ter. They key red fl ags that this is a scam include the aggres-sive approach of the caller, the threat that a warrant for your arrest could be stopped with a payment, and the request for your Social Insurance Number. If you are concerned for some reason that there is an unpaid loan out there in your name, it would be wise to check your credit report (with Equifax or TransUnion) to see if there are any unknown loans on your fi le. I doubt you will fi nd anything suspicious. It is probably more likely that this fraudster was hoping to bully you into giving out personal information for the purposes of identity theft or fi nancial fraud. We have not received other reports lo-cally about this matter, but I am sure the scammer is randomly targeting phone numbers (possibly world wide) in hopes that someone will fall for his threats. Besides informing the BBB it would also be wise for you to inform your local police and to contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (1 (888) 495-8501) to report this.

“I thought he had a beautiful, natural talent,” said Hounsell, artistic director at SMUS. “I want to encourage kids who have career voices, but they need to get a foundation.”

At first he was wary of joining a group of teens who have studied the craft for years, but eventually he was persuaded to join the group.

“This is a great experience and a lot of good training,” he said.

Pandora’s Locker performances are July 29 at 7:30 p.m. and July 30 at 2:30 p.m. at the Philip T. Young Recital Hall at the Uni-versity of Victoria.

Tickets are $20.50 for adults and $17.50 for students and seniors, available at the McPherson Box Office (250-386-6121) or online at www.rmts.bc.ca.

The free event showcases the art and culture of First Nations

people from across North Amer-ica. Coast Salish specialties like bannock, seafood chowder fried bread and barbequed salmon will be available along with a western canteen with burgers, hot dogs, chips, pop, coffee, etc.

The Yellow Wolf Powwow is a drug and alcohol free event.

The Tsartlip First Nations fair-

ground is located in Brentwood Bay at 800 Stelly’s X Road. Be sure to bring a lawn chair or blanket and get ready to shake the dust off your moccasins and do some dancing at this family event. For more information or to volunteer call 250-665-7777 or email [email protected].
