OAK BAYNEWSGroup pitches contraception program for deer

Christine van ReeuwykNews Staff

A new citizen group hopes to start trapping and tagging deer in Oak Bay by fall.

Urban Wildlife Stewardship Society launched the Oak Bay Deer Plan, a pilot program with the objective to limit birth of fawns using immuno-contraceptives.

“Governments at all levels do have a massive job and we appreciate what they do, yet they’re always limited by budgets, by staff… and the experience and training of their staff,” said Oak Bay resident Bryan Gates, president of the new Urban Wildlife Stewardship Society. “They need technical help in many cases, and this society is formed for that purpose.

“We can provide alternatives … We want to offer an incredible stewardship and management program for deer in Oak Bay,” he said. “There are other programs that the society, we think, can undertake in the future but today it’s really deer we want to concentrate on.”

The new citizen group officially launched Tuesday in its bid for a non-lethal and science-based approach to managing the deer population in Oak Bay. The group, which has secured start-up funding, is comprised of deer scientists, educators and

managers with extensive senior public service experience.

“This is an opportunity we believe for Victoria to show leadership and to be the leaders in providing an alternative to being stewards for wildlife in urban areas,” said Oak Bay resident Kristy Kilpatrick, vice-president of Urban Wildlife Stewardship Society. “We’re really proud to try and start this process.”

The society will apply to Health Canada for a permit to

use Spay-Vac on black-tailed deer in the district and apply to the province to allow for capture and inoculation.

“We are partnering with the University of Victoria scientists and graduate students,” said Dr. Rick Page, chief scientist for Deer Plan Oak Bay. “What we hope to achieve is to demonstrate to the governments that as a citizens-based group we can do what we wanted them to do but seem to have been incapable of doing in terms of managing a

deer population in a humane and sensitive way.”

The process would include clover traps with an adjacent motion-activated camera.

“We can set our traps during the day … we expect our biologist to be there within a half hour,” said Page.

All animals captured would be tagged.

“One of the reasons to do that is the federal government requires us to identify that it’s been treated experimentally –

and the ear tags will say ‘do not eat’ – even though there is no known hazard.”

The other advantage is to track and identify deer, he said, which encourages citizen engagement as they can identify individual deer.

A tranquilizer would be available, only if necessary, and trapped females would be given the Spay-Vac, which prevents a doe from conceiving for five to seven years, Page said.

The project would start in the fall, with the expectation that Health Canada approval – which Page feels could be the lengthier process – could be in place by August. Fall is a good time, he said, as food is more scarce while does require more of it as they are still providing milk for fawns.

“The lethal cull that occurred in February and March was indiscriminate,” Kilpatrick said.

Finding fundingn Society members weren’t shy about saying they’d love to see Oak Bay fund some of their program. “We are a citizens group, naturally therefore we’re seeking funding either from public sources, private sources and or government, particularly local government,” Gates said.

Oak Bay firefighters flank Stasi Manser, centre with Greg Swan president of Oak Bay Fire Fighters Charitable Foundation, in preparation for the launch of The Future Is Mine Adult Burn Survivors program. Manser is the Island survivor representative who will lead the new program that launches Saturday at the historic Monterey Avenue hall.

Burn survivors tackle future


Like most things in life, everyone reacts differently to surviving injury inflicted by heat and fire.

Each burn victim is alike, and different, says Stasi Manser.

“I grew up not being different,” said Manser, the eldest of five siblings. “I spent a lot of time not disabled in any way.”

Manser suffered third, fourth and fifth degree burns to over 90 per cent of her body in a childhood accident. She wasn’t expected to live. Her family kept faith in her strength, and a year and 11 days after the accident Manser returned home. What followed was decades of physical healing, travelling for treatment and thriving. She’s determined not to be seen as a person with a disability or handicap.

“I’ve had a full, enriching life,” she says.

Highly visible, or easily hidden, “burn trauma is burn trauma,” adds the Victoria woman who can’t really hide her scars. “What goes on underneath it all is still there.”

Manser will lead others, offering her insights as Island representative in the expanded Adult Burn Victim Future is Mine program through the The B.C. Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund program.

“I started feeling like ‘my kids are raised, there’s something missing’,” Manser said. “I’m grown up now and I’ve stepped into my boots. I do have something to offer.”

Ann Coombs developed the program for three years before launching it seven years ago on the Lower Mainland. Saturday marks the start of the Island program with an official launch at the Oak Bay fire hall.

“We’re coming to the Oak Bay fire hall because of the positive support we have from the firefighters and from the community,” said Coombs, who serves as program director. “It is another way of integrating the burn community into the community.”

In the intervening years Coombs has worked to develop the Island program. It’s come to fruition now in part because of sponsorship from local groups and businesses to provide group activities such as going to the Victoria Symphony and Victoria Art Gallery.

“Activities which bring the burn group together are positive, empowering and brings them out into the public,” Coombs said. “The power of the Future is Mine program is all about giving them power.”

Hosting the launch was an easy fit for Oak Bay Fire Fighters Charitable Foundation, says representative Greg Swan. The local firefighter is among those who have attended B.C. Burn Camp, a youth survivor experience. B.C. Professional Fire Fighters Burn Fund is a fundraising body for firefighters throughout the province.

“It’s been a long time coming. We jumped at the chance to host the event,” Swan said.

VIEWPOINTPenny Sakamoto Group PublisherDan Ebenal Editor Oliver Sommer Advertising Director

The Oak Bay News is published every Wednesday and Friday by Black Press Ltd., 207A-2187 Oak Bay, B.C. V8R 1G1. Phone: 250-598-4123. Web: oakbaynews.com

I can’t resist responding to a letter in the April 8 issue of the Oak Bay News under the headline “Cull the sensible decision.”

The writer states that Mayor Jensen’s “main plank” in last fall’s election was the cull. Really? What about the community plan, zoning issues, aging infrastructure and municipal services? Even at the inflated cost of $16,000 to kill 11 deer, the cull represented a minute fraction of Oak Bay’s municipal budget.

I suspect many voters didn’t care one way or another about the cull. The writer of the letter goes on to bemoan the prohibition against discharging firearms within municipal borders, and states that he would volunteer tomorrow to shoot deer if that wasn’t prevented by “naive urban dwellers.”

This attitude makes me way more nervous than the chance of deer nibbling my hostas and roses.

Audrey DriscollOak Bay

Government out of stepNothing shows a government

more out of touch with reality than the federal Conservative’s hawkish approach to security. Despite what the headlines show, all major stats show a world more peaceful and more safe than any other time in history. Yet despite this the government seems committed to sacrificing our collective human rights with Bill C-51, all in the name of security.

Every major Canadian legal association, every rights organization – including Amnesty International – has condemned this legislation, as it

risks making criminals out of those who oppose the agenda of one man – Stephen Harper.

It is rare that civilian rights are removed in one fell swoop; usually those in power gnaw away at them, moving the bar further with each piece of legislation. As this government has long shown itself to be unaccountable to a parliament that it frequently treats with contempt, we cannot trust our elected MPs to prevent Canada’s slide into the abyss of hysteria and human rights abuses.

This prime minister has been on record stating, “You won’t recognize Canada when I’m through with it.” Those words chilled many when he spoke them in 2006, but who knew then that his vision of Canada was an autocratic police state?

Nathaniel PooleVictoria

Willows Park neglectedHow encouraging to learn from the

front page of the Oak Bay News that municipal gardener Helen Strohschein is so attentive to the rose garden at Windsor Park. Top marks for a job being well done.

What a pity similar plaudits cannot be heaped upon those responsible for nearby Willows Park, which of late has been so badly neglected that it has become an eyesore more than an attraction.

I suggest that if the many homeowners along adjoining Beach Drive and other nearby roads can tend and produce year-round excellent gardens and mow their lawns once and sometimes twice a week, then

it should not be beyond the wit of those professionals paid to care for this popular site to realize that it’s time for them to get their boots on and get busy.

Derrick JohnsOak Bay

People the real pestsThe deer – it is difficult to

comprehend how anyone could liken these graceful and inoffensive creatures to “pests” – a term frequently used by readers.

If there was any species on planet Earth deserving of such derogative comparison it would be us, according to what we do and are capable of doing, motivated by greed, power or insane ideologies.

Of course, urban deer are a misfit. But who is to blame? And punishing the innocent is not the answer, as only we can get away with such self-righteous judgment.

Seniors need chanceto live a better life

B.C.’s Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie has issued a report on seniors in residential care which has gained a great deal of attention. The attention is long overdue.

Mackenzie points out that there are more seniors in residential care than need to be there. She suggests that many could actually be in assisted living, which is less labour-intensive and less costly, or living in their homes with more assistance from community programs.

Not only would this be a better way of living for these individuals, as they would have considerably more independence, it would save the B.C. government significant money. Mackenzie estimates that as many as 15 per cent of the 25,000 people in residential care could be in less-intensive care facilities. This could save the province millions of dollars each year, and should be looked at very closely.

Mackenzie, who did a survey of the seniors in residential care and the 29,000 home care clients, also found that far too many seniors are being given drugs to control their behaviour.

One-third of those in residential care are being given anti-psychotic drugs, even though the number actually needing those drugs is far smaller. Only four per cent have been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder.

Meanwhile, about twice as many seniors as actually need them are receiving anti-depressants. It’s hard not to draw the conclusion that government officials and those running care facilities are drugging residents indiscriminately, likely to control behaviour. This is simply not right.

Health Minister Terry Lake acknowledges that too many seniors in care are receiving anti-psychotic and anti-depressant drugs, and said there is training underway to ensure that staff members know what drugs are appropriate for people living in residential care.

Mackenzie has highlighted two very important issues, which will be of benefit to both seniors and taxpayers if there is proper follow-through. Seniors deserve proper health services, but they also must be treated with dignity. They should only be given drugs they really need.

Don DescoteauBlack Press

Former Victoria city councillor Bill McElroy considers himself an “extremely lucky” man.

He knows many people wouldn’t see him in that light, especially since he’s about to undergo surgery to remove a cancerous prostate gland.

Rather than sit at home, relax and wait for his scheduled operation this week at Victoria General Hospital, the fit 69-year-old Langford resident rounded off a brisk walk this week with a stop at the newspaper office to talk openly about his situation.

McElroy calls himself lucky, because if he hadn’t made a firm request of a walk-in clinic doctor a little over a year ago, the chain of events that led to his diagnosis might never have begun.

“If I hadn’t asked for that PSA test …” he says. “It just so happened I had the more aggressive, fast-growing type of prostate cancer.”

Unlucky enough to have had his family doctor retire five years ago, leaving him without a regular physician, McElroy was left with having to rely on walk-in clinics for his health care. Like many men, especially those as generally healthy as he is, he says, he’s not one to go to the doctor for just anything.

But when it comes to health scenarios that need regular monitoring, walk-in clinics often lack the continuity needed, he adds. “You never know who you’re going to get the next time you go in.”

Prostate specific antigen (PSA) test orders, not unlike mammograms for women, generally require the patient to have a regular doctor to send the results to. McElroy was fortunate that in his situation, the results were secured by the clinic which ordered the PSA test initially, and they let him know they needed to see him.

His baseline PSA serum concentration reading wasn’t off the chart at first, slightly higher than what is considered normal, McElroy says. Having been referred to a urologist by the clinic doctor, however, he saw increasingly higher numbers in subsequent testing.

McElroy, the studious board chair and treasurer of the Pacific Centre Family Services Association in Colwood and longtime board volunteer around Greater Victoria, read a lot on the topic and researched possible options for people in his situation. In consultation with specialists, he chose to go with complete removal of his prostate gland.

At the end of the day, he’s glad he took action when he did, but he questions the long-term prognosis for health care when thousands of people in Greater Victoria don’t have a regular doctor.

“I’m not angry, but I hoped this use of walk-in clinics would be a stopgap measure,” he says. “What happens in the long run if someone has undetected breast cancer or prostate cancer?”

Their chances of survival go down dramatically, says Leanne Kopp, executive director of The Prostate Centre in Victoria.

“If caught early, (treatment of) prostate cancer

has a 90 to 95 per cent chance of success,” she says.

Kopp agrees with McElroy that middle-aged and older men, especially those using walk-in clinics, need to become advocates for themselves for prostate health.

“As doctors retire, (family) practices are much more difficult to get into,” she says. “In terms of something like a PSA test, where you need to follow that number from year to year, that’s when men tend to fall between the cracks. What’s important is creating that baseline.”

The PSA test has been the subject of controversy of late. Critics argue that many men with elevated PSA serum readings, including some for whom slow-growing prostate cancer would not pose a higher-than-average health risk, are being recommended for more invasive testing, such as biopsies, that carry a risk of further health problems.

Despite the “needle-in-the-haystack” bad press, Kopp insists that the PSA test “is really right now the best screening tool for prostate cancer. Until something comes out that can be a better screening tool for men, this is the best way (to detect cancer early).”

McElroy says that since he started letting people know about his situation, he’s heard a number of related stories.

“One today concerns an older man who hadn’t had a prostate exam for years,” he says. “Like me, he had no pain or symptoms, so never thought about it. Apparently, when they did a PSA, he scored over 600 (a “normal” reading is in the 4.0 to 6.0 range). After an exam, he was told it was really too late to do anything, because the cancer had spread throughout his body. Another point for early detection.”

To find out more about PSA testing and its benefits and risks, visit theprostatecentre.org or talk to a physician.

Program shares stories of survival“It’s valuable … For our

department it’s a great opportunity to showcase who we are to the burn survivors, as well as for members of Oak Bay to meet burn survivors first-hand. It’s an impacting experience.”

Through the program, members of the adult burn community will connect to share survival stories and resources as well as experience

activities that inspire and educate. Guest speakers at the meeting will include: Gwen Linski-Dulmage of Nanaimo, a survivor who lost two children in a house fire; Brandon Hayter of Victoria who was burned in a campfire explosion; and Jane Calder of Victoria who was burned as a child and is now a new mother.

“When we’re at our lows, we don’t realize that the only thing that stops us, is us,” Manser

said, excited to foster spirit and determination in the group. “I’m loving it. It’s really exciting to bring this community together.”

Monthly coffee meetings for the group start Monday.

“With the UWSS program, any bucks that are captured will be tagged and released, allowing us to track their migratory patterns. Our target is not just 25 deer, it’s 25 female deer, which will make the project far

more effective, both in terms of reducing and stabilizing the deer population, and cost.”

Oak Bay faced major criticism over the cull completed last month that saw 11 deer killed and meat distributed for First Nations use.

“It’s certainly

something that’s welcome and it’s been welcome all through this process,” said Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen. “This is a research project and we didn’t want so much a research project as a deer management project.”

He warned of hurdles the society must cross.

“At the present time the information we’ve had from the B.C. wildlife veterinarian is the serum being used is not being manufactured. It will be a significant project because you would have to use clover traps to capture 70 to 90 per cent of the does for success.”

While the Oak Bay Deer Plan campaign is underway, UWSS sees future implications regionally and provincially if it’s a success.

“Our goal right now is to administer a humane, effective and non-lethal population control program for deer initially in Oak Bay and perhaps to expand in the region,” said Gates.

In the meantime, other essentials in deer management, such as signage on high deer-car collision roads and public education, are also a priority for the society.

“We believe we can help shift the conversation to those other mitigation projects,” Kilpatrick said. “There shouldn’t ever be a need for another lethal cull.”

As for the damage deer inflict on local gardens, Gates said, “fencing really is the only answer other than total annihilation.”

“Controlling population levels is our objective.”

An Oak Bay resolution saw major support at the Association of Vancouver Island and Coastal Communities gathering last weekend. Some 250 delegates attended the annual general meeting and convention in Courtenay, where Oak Bay’s call for provincial help dealing with deer met with a positive response.

“It called for the province to play a more co-ordinating role in deer management,” said Mayor Nils Jensen.

The resolution, passed at the convention, requests the province provide increased support and expertise for deer management issues and helping build partnerships with other levels of government.

“That resolution will now be presented to the Union of B.C. Municipalities in September for consideration,” Jensen said. “That was an important resolution and if the province eventually acts on it, I think it will be good for not only Oak Bay but for the region.”

Policing and mental health

The gathered municipal politicians also discussed a recurring problem facing local police.

“This is a very challenging issue right across British Columbia and has been a subject of the mayors’ caucus a number of years ago,” Jensen said.

“Right now the police are often left to be the mental health workers on the street and they’re not trained for that, they’re not funded for that and it has caused a significant drain financially and socially. People are not getting the proper help and some are getting drawn into the criminal justice system when they should be in the health system.”

The AVICC passed a resolution calling on the province to treat the problem as a mental health issue and to fund integrated services

“(UBCM) is having a meeting with the minister of justice in the next few days, where they

will also discuss this issue,” Jensen said.

Vancouver spill spurs late resolution

A concern voiced previously by Oak Bay, with its vast coastline, also made an appearance at AVICC last weekend, triggered by the English Bay oil spill.

“AVICC took a much broader perspective on what happened there,” Jensen said. “[It] really expressed a concern Oak Bay has expressed before: Are we ready to deal with an oil spill on our shores?”

The approved resolution calls on the province to do an independent audit of oil spill response preparedness.

“What we saw in Vancouver was there were some apparent gaps in the response to the oil spill,” Jensen said.

“We have so much coastline, and not very far off our coastline is constant tanker traffic … Whether or not we increase the oil flow to Asia, we have high traffic already.” [email protected]

Oak Bay ballplayer rememberedJennifer BlythBlack Press

It was on an Oak Bay baseball diamond that Roy Moretti first caught a love of the game he would carry with him the rest of his life.

The longtime player, coach and mentor died earlier this year after a brief bout with cancer, but his memory will live on in the home team bullpen at nearby Lambrick Baseball Park, where Moretti spent many hours coaching the young pitchers of the Victoria Eagles Baseball Club.

During Saturday’s co-hosted opening ceremonies for the Eagles and Gordon Head at Lambrick Park Baseball Association, a bullpen bench was unveiled featuring an engraving of Moretti and the quote, “Pitching feels like the most natural thing in the world.”

Longtime Oak Bay ballplayer Martin Winstanley, chair of Eagles baseball, grew up with Moretti, who began his baseball career in Oak Bay Little League, before moving on to what was then Pony League at Carnarvon Park, Colt League at nearby Topaz Park and Senior Babe Ruth back at Oak Bay’s Windsor Park.

Describing Moretti as a “little kid with a giant heart,” Winstanley recalls that “the

little kid grew into a hard-throwing right-handed pitcher who after playing in the Senior Men’s League for three years, tried out for the Victoria Mussels in 1978, the year the franchise became part of the Single-A Northwest League.

“Roy cracked the Mussels roster as a walk-on and he went on to play 10 years of professional baseball on teams affiliated with the Blue Jays, A’s, Padres, White Sox and Orioles,” Winstanley says. “In between, he played a season in Japan with the Yakult Swallows.”

Perhaps his most memorable team, however, was the 1983

Utica Blue Sox, memorialized in Roger Kahn’s book, Good Enough to Dream.

“The Blue Sox, given no chance to win prior to the season, clinched first place in the New York-Penn League with Roy’s 2-1 complete game win. Roy’s pitching performances catapulted the Blue Sox to the league’s playoff championship that season,” Winstanley says.

Back on the Island, Moretti served as pitching coach with the Nanaimo Pirates for many years before returning to his hometown to coach the Eagles, travelling from Nanaimo multiple times each week for practices and games with both the Premier and Junior Premier Eagles.

“Roy Moretti was a champion – a great baseball player, coach and man,” Winstanley says. “Victoria Eagles Baseball will miss him.”

Anyone wishing to help needy young players cover the costs of pursuing their baseball passion are urged to donate to the Roy Moretti Legacy Fund set up by the Victoria Eagles and the Moretti Family. Cheques should be made payable to the Greater Victoria Baseball Association and can be mailed to Martin Winstanley, Eagles Baseball, Greater Victoria Baseball Association, 4157 Glendenning Rd., Victoria, B.C., V8X 2B4.

Vancouver pianist Rachel Iwaasa brings a “bucket list” performance for the next Oak Bay Matinee.

Iwaasa will perform Bach’s Goldberg Variations on Sunday at St. Mary the Virgin.

“The Goldbergs are kind of the Everest for piano, one of those pieces that every pianist who likes to perform Bach will have on their bucket list, it is so monumental,” said Iwaasa. “It’s a massive work, a terrific challenge, something I always wanted to play.”

Oak Bay Matinée is a monthly concert series presented by Oak Bay Music Society.

“I personally have known Rachel for a long time,” said Erik Abbink, artistic director for Oak Bay Music.

They started working together a decade ago as students at UBC. When he asked if she’d be interested in performing in Oak Bay, she already had the work in mind.

“She’s been wanting to play it for a long time but not had the opportunity to play it,” Abbink said. “It’s a beautiful piece. She calls it monumental because it’s big and because it’s so long and pianists have this tradition of memorizing pieces. There’s a lot of work to be done.”

The performance is at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, April 19 at St. Mary the Virgin, 1701 Elgin Rd. Advance tickets ($20/$15/$10) are available at Ivy’s Books and online. Tickets at the door are $25/20/10.

“I’ve heard this piece many, many times in recording but I’ve never heard it live,” Abbink said. “Everybody knows it [but] hardly anybody has heard it live. I think it will be an incredible experience.”

It’s a return to the Island for Iwaasa, who spent her undergraduate years studying with pianist Robin Wood at the University of Victoria.

“Studying with Dr. Wood was an incredible opportunity. His legacy is still pretty strong,” she said. “I have a lot of really fond memories of Victoria, and I am going to dedicate this concert to Dr. Wood.”

Entertainment event aidsChild Haven InternationalChristine van ReeuwykNews Staff

One of the organizers behind the Diwali variety show at UVic’s Farquhar Auditorium is putting his power and culture behind a Victoria fundraiser for Child Haven International.

“The people organizing the food part have already had a trial run and it was fantastic,” said Dr. Suresh Basrur. “They’re really going to put on a wonderful spread, a very nice dinner.”

While the event is supported by the Unitarian Church of Victoria across from Red Barn Market on West Saanich Road, it’s organized a team of volunteers with various faith backgrounds. That team hopes to sell 200 tickets to the April 18 event in Victoria.

“We’re also going to have some entertainment, some dancing, a short presentation of Indian dance,” Basrur said. “We’re also going to have classical music … they’ll play some light classical music while people are eating to provide a pleasant background.”

It’s all in aid of Child Haven International, based in Ontario

Founded by Rev. Fred Cappuccino and his wife Bonnie, Child Haven provides shelter, food, clothing and education to more than 1,300 destitute children.

“They started a small centre, now Child Haven has 10 centres total in India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Tibet. They provide shelter, food, clothing and education to these children,” Basrur said.

The homes are based on Mahatma Gandhi’s principles.

“What that means is that the children, whatever faith they were born in … they will continue with the same faith. There’s no concept of conversion,” Basrur said. “The children take care of each other and they grow up like a family, no matter what background.”

Tickets are $30 for the event at the Ukrainian Cultural Centre, 3277 Douglas St. For tickets call Christine Johnston at 250-385-5444. Doors open at 6 p.m. with dinner at 6:30 on Saturday.

Oak Bay Matinee welcomes Rachel Iwaasa on Sunday

It has been one month since the category 5 Cyclone Pam hit the southern region of Vanuatu on March 13. The country has been reeling with shock at the level of devastation.

With the deep ties between Victoria and Vanuatu, that shock has also reverberated amongst local residents that either have family, friends or colleagues trying to pick up the pieces after this unprecedented natural disaster.

Amy Mawdsley, a former staff member of Pacific Peoples’ Partnership, arrived in Vanuatu one week before the cyclone hit.

“The Vanuatu relief response is working tirelessly to provide food to communities, but many people have not yet been reached by aid of any kind,” said Mawdsley, adding the islands of Tanna and Erromango have been particularly hard hit. “The access to safe drinking water, food and housing in these areas is even worse.”

A Victoria-Vanuatu consortium consisting of Pacific Peoples Partnership, ViVA (Victoria Vanuatu Physicians Association), Disaster Aid Relief Canada, the Williams Family and Pearson College UWC, have united in responding to assist with relief and reconstruction.

On April 26, more than 100 Pearson College UWC students will take part in the TC 10k run. The students are showing solidarity with fellow student Caroline Charley, who is from Vanuatu, and will be running with flyers, Vanuatu flags and breakout performances drawing attention to the survivors of Cyclone Pam. They will host an information booth on the sidewalk across from the Empress Hotel with information on how to help.

A gala supporting Cyclone Pam relief efforts will be held April 26 at Sea Cider Farm and Cider House, 2487 Mt. St. Michael Rd. Saanichton, from 6:30-10:30 p.m. Tickets are $75 and include cider tastings, appetizers, silent auction and entertainment from the South Pacific Islander community.

For more information on the gala event, contact April Ingham at 250-381-4131 or director@pacificpeoples partnership.org.

From Left to Right: Diane Roberts (BC Scrap-It Program - Chief operating officer), Linda Webster (Winner of 2015 Nissan LEAF), Graham Clegg (General Manager - Nissan), Dennis Rogoza (BC Scrap-It Program - CEO).

Surrey resident Linda Webster is now the proud owner of a Nissan LEAF, as the winner of our Plug-In to Win contest.“I’m so excited because I’ve taken an interest in electric cars for some time but never dreamed I would own one,” said Linda, as she clutched the keys outside of Jonker Nissan, in Langley.“I’m going to really enjoy seeing how much I can get out of each charge… I’ll let you know!”With a range of in excess of 120 kilometres on a full charge, Linda figures she will be able to visit friends and family in Vancouver.British Columbia’s SCRAP-IT Program kindly sup-plied us with the eco-friendly sedan for the contest, which attracted a record-breaking 34,558 entries, the biggest Black Press contest ever. The five-seater car was displayed at the SCRAP-IT booth at the recent Vancouver International Auto Show, where it attracted thousands of admiring looks.SCRAP-IT announced its new incentive program in Driveway just before the show. It’s offer-ing a $3,000 rebate for electric car purchasers if they scrap a year 2000 or older vehicle. This is in addition to the newly announced provincial government program.SCRAP-IT Program CEO Dennis Rogoza revealed: “Ve-hicles model 2000 or older emit up to 60 times more emissions than later models and electric vehicles have even much lower emissions.”Qualifying electric vehicles are listed on the SCRAP-IT.ca website.

Family wagon with sporty genesCompact crossovers are perfect for moving families around in comfort and confidence, especial-ly when equipped with all wheel drive (AWD).With so many new entries coming into the market, challenging the established frontrunners like the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4 and Ford Escape, each manufac-turer needs an angle. Mazda’s approach with the 2016 CX-5 is a sporty attitude and upscale amenities. Mazda has taken the original CX-5, which first arrived in 2013 and has given it more features, a new front design but kept the same “Zoom-Zoom” attitude.LooksThe Mazda CX-5 is not as big as the CR-V or Nissan Rouge but larger than the VW Tiguan or Hyundai Tucson. It is small enough to make city manoeuvering easy but large enough for an average family. The updates to the exterior for 2016 include a new, more bold front grille, reworked front bumper and on the top GT (seen here), LED headlights, fog lights and taillights. The GT also gets great looking 19-inch wheels, and the lower trim levels are fitted with 17-inch wheels.InsideWhat sets the CX-5 apart from much of the

competition is a class-above dash and interior. Most of the products in this class come fitted with hard, cheap-feeling dashboards and utilitarian feeling switches and dials. Mazda has invested heavily in the interior, producing a soft touch dash, smooth and sophisticated looking and feeling switchgear, all making the cabin more upscale. On the base model, buyers must invest in the $1,900 convenience package to get essential items like Bluetooth, radio controls on the steering wheel and the new HMI centre control unit that interacts with the 7-inch centre screen. This brings the price to $26,795, placing it right in the middle of the compact market. The middle

$29,249 GS trim will be the volume seller, thanks to a bigger engine and a new height adjustable passenger seat, two USB connectors in the centre console, and blind spot moni-toring system. The top $34,895 GT trim (seen here) adds automatic climate control, standard navigation, 19-inch wheels and leather interior. Unfortunately, none of the CX-5 models come with a power tailgate. DriveMazda has stuck with the 155hp 2.0L direct injection engine and a manual transmission in

the base model. This combo is only available with front wheel drive (FWD). If the base en-gine is paired with the all wheel drive (AWD) system, then the buyer needs to choose the 6-speed automatic. The middle GS and top GT trim come with the more powerful 184hp 2.5L 4-cylinder. The GS can be equipped with FWD or AWD and all GT models come standard with AWD. What sets this apart from the competition is the handling and dynamic feel Mazda bakes into its products. The CX-5 can be thrown into corners with true confidence but the suspension is never jarring. The GS and GT also come standard with a sport setting for the transmission that is too aggressive for daily use. The base setting works the best and when more power is needed, I tended to flick the transmission to manual mode for a more precise experience.

Verdict It might not be the least expensive vehicle in this hot compact crossover segment but due to a conventional 6-speed automatic and class above amenities, it’s certainly in the running as a segment leader.

BLACK PRESS GREATER VICTORIA-Friday, April 17, 2015 Driveway • BPB

DrivewayBC.ca

By Alexandra Straub

Los Angeles/Palm Springs, CA – For 2015, Dodge introduces a new breed of Journey. One that has more visual appeal, lots of power and a few features to keep your drive exciting, even when it isn’t.Enter the Crossroad AWD edition. It’s clad in a Redline exterior pearl paint, and sparkles under the Californian sun or any sun for that matter.Thanks to distinctive front and rear fascias with Platinum Chrome accents, Platinum Chrome side sills, Platinum Chrome roof rails, dark-tinted head-lamps and tail lamps, and unique 19-inch Hyper Black aluminum wheels, it tends to garner looks from all passersby.This particular Journey is a much better looking vehicle than I had anticipated and I’m impressed with how it has evolved since its introduction in 2009. But it’s not just looks alone that make this crossover one of the best selling products in the Dodge lineup, and one that has earned numerous accolades.Inside, a visually stimulating cabin also welcomes the driver and passengers.First off, leather seats with sport mesh inserts come standard. Then you have Liquid Graphite appliques, a 213.4mm (8.4-inch) Uconnect touchscreen and a power driver’s seat and passenger fold flat seat with in-seat storage.The in-seat storage is a feature I found exceptionally handy, particularly when I wanted to tuck away some miscella-neous items I purchased along the road.

Or I wanted to keep my snacks out of the sun when driving hours on end in California!Along the undulating SoCal roads, it was quite handy to have the 3.6L, Pentastar V6 engine under its hood for that extra bit of power I used climbing hills. It comes with a healthy helping of 283 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque and is matched with a six-speed automatic transmission that shifts with ease and smoothness.Additionally, the Crossroad version has a

temperate nature and one that is pleas-ant to drive for long hauls. It absorbs road imperfections without jarring the passengers inside.The only snag comes when you want to accelerate quickly to pass someone. There’s a generous helping of torque steer so make sure you give yourself enough room in the lane to accommo-date for it. Yes, it’s an all-wheel drive, so it’s not, by nature, prone to this type of action, but this particular vehicle was.Despite its size, it doesn’t feel like a

chore to manouevre. Especially when navigat-ing through the In-n-Out Burger drive-thru for a pre road trip delicacy. Though there were only three people in the cabin of the Journey at any given time, there is room for up to seven people.Furthermore, the third and second row fold down easily to load or unload larger ticket items, such as a road bike I had rented while in the Palm Springs area. When it comes to cargo space, behind the second row seats, you have a gener-ous 1,000L, and behind the third row – when they are up – there’s 300L.Ingress and egress is also a strong feature of the Journey. Despite its SUV DNA, the seats aren’t so high off the ground that it requires passengers, both young and young at heart, to hoist themselves up and in.And I can’t forget to mention just how great it is to work with the Uconnect infotainment system. Entering in a des-tination into the navigation is probably the most intuitive and user-friendly in the industry. The 8.4-inch screen is large and therefore doesn’t require me to take my eyes off the road for longer than necessary.Music through the speakers – via

the SiriusXM stations or my playlists – kept me grooving even in rush hour traffic. With the count-less kilometres logged on this Dodge, it wasn’t too hard to find much joy in this new Journey.In fact, it was quite a treat.

The base MSRP of the 2015 Dodge Journey Crossroad AWD is $35,395. [email protected]

What’s in Your Beauty Products?

Every day millions of women slap on body moisturizer, apply lipstick or mascara without a second thought about what they are putting on their skin. A study from the UK claims that the average woman applies more than 500 chemicals to her body every day dur-ing her beauty routine.

Why should you be concerned?Chemicals such as parabens (a synthetic preserv-ative in everything from toothpaste to shampoo) and phthalates (a class of chemicals that are found in many “fragranced” beauty products such as lo-tions, perfumes and deodorants) are classified as xenoestrogens. Xenoestrogens mimic our natural estrogens creating hormone chaos by increasing the total amount of estrogen, resulting in a condition called estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance has been implicated in many conditions including: breast and prostate cancer, obesity, infertility, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, early onset puberty, hormonal acne and PMS.

Xeno-Detox Every Day EstroSense is a comprehensive liver detoxifier that gently supports the elimination of harmful environ-mental toxins and helps to bring back hormone synergy.

STORE LOCATOR AT PNO.CA

Every day millions of women slap on body moisturizer, apply lipstick or mascara without a second thought about what they are putting on their skin. A study from the UK claims that the average woman applies more than 500 chemicals to her body every day during her beauty routine.

Why should you be concerned?Chemicals such as parabens (a synthetic preservative in everything from tooth-paste to shampoo) and phthalates (a class of chemicals that are found in many “fra-granced” beauty products such as lotions, perfumes and deodorants) are classified as xenoestrogens. Xenoestrogens mimic our natural estrogens creating hormone chaos by increasing the total amount of estrogen, resulting in a condition called estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance has been implicated in many conditions including: breast and prostate cancer, obesity, infertility, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, early onset puberty, hormonal acne and PMS.

Xeno-Detox Every Day EstroSense is a comprehensive liver detoxifier that gently supports the elimination of harmful environmental toxins and helps to bring back hormone synergy. Along with other key ingredients, EstroSense contains milk thistle which is one of the most researched herbs when it comes to liver detoxification and liver cell regeneration. Curcumin, indole-3-carbinol, sulforaphane, calcium-d-glucarate, green tea extract, lycopene and rosemary ex-tract are all very effective for supporting healthy hormone balance.

As Langford opens its doors to the world for the Canada Women’s Sevens rugby tourna-ment this week, the Canadian team is eye-ing the top rung of the ladder in advance of the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Sitting in a tie for sec-

ond overall with Austra-lia in the World Rugby Women’s Sevens Series after placing third last month in Atlanta – the top four series finishers automatically qualify for Rio – the Canadian players could be for-given for dwelling on the one that got away down in Georgia.

The Canadians came the closest of any team to beating series leader New Zealand in Atlanta, dropping a narrow 24-22 semifinal deci-sion to the Kiwis, who went on to humble the Americans 50-12 in the

championship game at the third of six rounds of this Olympic qualify-ing series.

While he’s impressed with the improvement he’s seen in his Lang-ford-based squad over the course of the series, Canada head coach John Tait is cautiously optimistic about how that result might affect future meetings between the teams.

“That was only our second game against them this year, but both games have been very competitive,” he says. “I think we match

up well with them. What I’m pleased with most is we can trade blows with them offen-sively.”

The semifinal match saw the Canadians leading or tied for most of the game, but as Tait points out, the sevens game is so fast-paced that the flow of a match can change in the blink of an eye.

“We took a step forward at Atlanta. I think it’s not a matter of if, it’s when we beat them.”

But first, there’s a lot of important rugby

to be played ahead of any possible rematch during round four this weekend at Wes-thills Stadium. The host team joins the U.S., South Africa and Russia – Canada beat them 28-17 for third at Atlanta – in Pool C. Saturday’s 12:50 p.m. opener for the Maple Leafs sees a rematch against Russia.

Meanwhile, New Zealand lines up in Pool A with England, Fiji and Spain, while Pool B groups Austra-lia, France, Brazil and China.

“We’re not looking much beyond our own pool,” Tait says. “Three of the top four teams [in the series] are all in one pool. We’ve been really focused on that.”

Results on the first day are critical to where teams are slot-ted in for Sunday’s playoff action. The top two teams from each of the three pools advance to the quar-ter-finals, as well as the top two finishing third-place sides. Scoring as often as possible is the best way to secure good placement for Sunday, which means a quarter-final match against one of the third-place pool finish-ers, Tait says.

“Every possession counts. That ball – when you don’t have it – you’ve got to do everything within your grasp to get it back,” he says.

Without a doubt, the Canadians will be watching the other results Saturday to determine strategy for late-round games, he adds.

From a fan perspec-tive, when the pres-sure and the speed of the game go up, the entertainment factor goes up as well. “If you want to be successful in sevens, you’ve got to play that fast-paced game.”

While Team Canada is filled with superb athletes, some of the

best at mixing the speed and power game are Ghislaine Landry and Ashley Steacy.

Landry, from Toronto, has used her catlike agility and reflexes to amass 151 points in the first three rounds, second only to New Zealand’s Por-tia Woodman with 165. Lethbridge native Steacy, whose siblings James and Heather are already qualified for Rio in their sports, may not have size or her side, but she packs a punch, Tait says in an interview with Cana-da’s Olympic program website.

“She’s got a ton of courage. She’s our smallest player but def-initely one of our hard-est hitting players,” he says. She is really evasive and that, com-bined with her ball-handling skills, makes her a real threat.”

This weekend Can-ada is without star captain Jen Kish, who was injured in the first game in Atlanta. The native of Ottawa, a finalist for the 2013 IRB Women’s Player of the Year award, is recover-ing well and will likely be ready for the next round, Tait says.

AS OF APRIL 13/15 COURTESY VICTORIA REAL ESTATE BOARD

Dan EbenalNews Staff

Oak Bay is a family-oriented community. And a desire to be close to family is what’s drawn Eli Mavrikos to set up shop in Oak Bay.

He opened his office on Cadboro Bay Road for the Eli Mavrikos Col-lective with Pemberton Holmes at the beginning of the year.

“We started renovating in Sep-tember and October and then I moved in and started working out of it in January.”

Mavrikos had been working out of an office in his home, but when his wife Adia gave birth to the cou-ple’s third child, he knew it was time to find a separate space for his office.

“We live here in Oak Bay and I wanted something as close to the kids as possible,” he said.

Mavrikos would regularly drive by the Cadboro Bay Road location on his way to and from work, when it struck him that it would make the perfect spot for his business.

“I’m driving by this location for about three or four months and then realized this would be such a great little spot. My daughter goes to school around the corner, my son goes to school up the street,” said Mavrikos, who also devotes a lot of time to coaching baseball and soccer teams in the commu-nity.

And with Mavrikos seeing more and more clients putting Oak Bay at the top of their wish list, he knew the location would be a per-fect fit.

“More and more were buying in Oak Bay and looking in Oak Bay, and I know it so well and thought it would be the perfect spot. You can

walk to the beach, you can walk to the market, and I love how it’s so home-grown,” he said.

While family is a major reason Mavrikos selected the Cadboro Bay Road location for the office, family also plays a large role within the office itself. His wife Adia and stepfather are also realtors in the office, while his sister works as an assistant and a cousin is a mort-gage broker.

“So it’s kind of like a family-run, full-service office,” he said.

Oak Bay also has a connection with Pemberton Holmes, as the Pemberton family were one of the early pioneers of the area, own-

ing a farm where the Victoria Golf Course sits today.

Mavrikos has been working as a realtor in Victoria for the past eight years, starting out just before the economic collapse, something that led to a “terrible” first year for his business.

“The second year started pick-ing up slowly and we’ve been very blessed from the third year on, it just took off.”

That growth has placed Mavrikos in the top five per cent for his office for the past five years, the top 10 per cent in the city for sales volume and last year he was No. 1 with Pemberton Holmes for

all of Vancouver Island.That success shows no signs of

subsiding, as Mavrikos said busi-ness has been brisk during his first few months in the new location.

“It’s been really good. I’ve had local businesses come by and drop stuff off, I’ve had people drop in from the local neighbourhood. There’s been very good feedback so far,” he said, adding there is a steady demand in the Oak Bay market.

“You see all the character and tradition through all the homes. It’s got a really nice family feel to it.”
