Oak Bay secures permit for deer cullChristine van ReeuwykNews Staff

With a permit in hand, Oak Bay is prepared to embark on an urban deer cull.

Staff confirmed the district received a permit Tuesday from Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations to proceed with a cull of deer through the CRD’s Regional Deer Management Strategy pilot project.

While the district won’t release any more information other than the permit is in hand, it applied to cull using a modified clover trap and bolt gun method where the animals are captured in a large netted box using bait.

“They’re not restrained in any way, shape or form, most of them lay down and continue eating,” said Dr. Helen Schwantje, the provincial veterinarian who is in part responsible for training those who use the traps.

The modified clover trap is collapsed on the animal and the contractor uses a bolt gun similar to those used in commercial slaughter.

“There are processes in place to ensure they are handled humanely, killed in a humane manner and their products prepared in a safe manner so that people are safe,” Schwantje said. “The trapping we have done in the past has been done during the dark hours so that animals are disturbed the smallest amount. The locations are chosen so they are secluded, the purpose of that is that the deer walks into the trap and they’re not bothered in any way.”

While she’s not opposed to filming the process, as some groups have asked permission to do during the proposed Oak Bay cull, it would be a difficult task. Even with the ‘urban’ quality of

our deer, and their habituation to people, there’s a personal space bubble similar to what humans feel.

“Just as people have personal spaces so does an animal … Anything out of the ordinary, sudden noises, someone in that space will make that deer leave,” Schwantje said. “When a contractor arrives to euthanize the deer it’s a very quick process, in fact it’s been done in under 30 seconds. So there isn’t much to film and observe anyway.

“I personally wouldn’t have any problem with it being filmed, it’s just how to set it up without stressing the animals more.”

The traps in Oak Bay are also slated to be utilized on private

property.With the cull process

underway, it likely ends other options presented by the community. Though Schwantje said there aren’t many humane and efficient ways for population reduction.

“Fertility control is really attractive to people, but it does not reduce the population immediately, and may not ever,” Schwantje said, adding that in

fertility plans “they recommend going in and culling animals to start with.”

She also pointed out that SpayVac, suggested by some for use here, is not manufactured, but could be if someone came up with the money.

“It’s not that we discourage it … It’s a big commitment, it’s a long-term commitment and it’s an expensive commitment.”

The Oak Bay cull is a pilot project through the CRD Regional Deer Management Strategy, suggesting the CRD will look at the results, that may be shared with the province.

“Permits are issued with conditions depending on the type of permit, depending on the content of it,” Schwantje

said. “We have required in the past, other permits, to include a summary report of what went right, what went wrong.”

The permits also require the selected contractor be appropriately trained.

“Part of the process that we’ve engaged in with deer management with municipalities is that a group of us provide training for contractors on different areas of expertise,” said Schwatje. “The principles around my training are to ensure the animals are handled humanely and ethically.”

That extends to maintaining the health of animals for human consumption.

“We are obviously aware of the interest in this issue. We want to make sure this is done right both for the animals and the people,” Schwantje said.

Council saw a power point by Schwantje, released Jan. 26 and now online at oakbay.ca, during its Monday night meeting.

“We had the most speakers we’ve ever had during the public participation period, I think there were seven,” said Mayor Nils Jensen. Six spoke on the deer [email protected]

Culling and pregnancyn “At this time of year, you could assume that around 80 per cent, maybe more, of the does are pregnant,” said Dr. Helen Schwantje, the provincial veterinarian. “But our goal here, if we’re going to do a cull, is to reduce the population of deer.” Waiting to cull in the summer, after the April/May birthing season, would orphan young fawns.

“We are obviously aware of the interest in this issue. We want to make sure this is done right both for the animals and the people.”

We are celebrating 30 Years in Victoria!


Diet helps marathoner go the distanceKevin LairdBlack Press

To say Moe Beaulieu lives a healthy lifestyle would be an understatement.

Beaulieu has completed more than 130 ultrma-rathons, with his most recent – a 100 mile dis-tance – to celebrate his 70th birthday last Sep-tember.

But despite being a committed athlete for more than 35 years, Beaulieu has had his health challenges, too.

Four years ago Beaulieu was diagnosed with Stage 4 throat can-cer. Doctors gave him two months to live.

“ I quickly decided I was going to beat the cancer, and not let it beat me,” Beaulieu said.

His first course of action was to radi-

cally change his diet. He eliminated all acidic forming processed sugars, followed by dairy a week later, then all animal-based foods.

Today, he’s a true believer in veganism, and can’t resist telling other people about it.

He’s one of three guest speakers at Saturday’s (Jan. 31) Healthy Eating Day at Save-on-Foods, located at 1950 Foul Bay Rd. Other speakers include Ellen Bayerns from the Celiac Scene as well as Claire Marie from Claire Marie Weight Loss of Victoria.

The event, from noon to 4 p.m., celebrates healthy eating and will also include food ven-dors and entertainment.

“I changed my diet to make sure I stayed alive,” Beaulieu said. “I always had a good diet, I thought, but I fine tuned it to help fight the

cancer.”Beaulieu said it was not hard to move from a

carnivore diet to a vegan diet.Contrary to popular belief, he said, there are

countless food choices and tastes.“We have to make the right choices, not just

always follow the majority and eat for recre-ation. It’s all about good health.

“I eat absolutely delicious foods. It’s never ending.”

Beaulieu must be on to something. In April, he plans to compete in his 132nd ultramarathon – cancer free.

Popular events putting a strain on Oak BayChristine van ReeuwykNews Staff

The success of past events has Oak Bay wondering if too much popularity is a good thing.

“We are a community that is a beautiful community that people want to bring those things to because we have the beautiful setting for it,” said Coun. Hazel Braithwaite. “We’re almost at the tipping point now. We have to figure out how many is too many.”

Last council noticed a steep incline in events seeking a public space in Oak Bay and asked the Parks and Recreation Commission to have a look at guidelines in place.

“What was happening is they were getting a huge increase in requests for new events in Oak Bay that puts a huge strain on all the departments in Oak Bay,” said Braithwaite, council liaison to Parks and Rec. “We’re so fortunate because we are that kind of wonderful diverse community so we do get a whole lot of asks but we have to balance what the appropriate number of events are for the community, because the community can get saturated.”

During its committee meeting, council endorsed updated guidelines for public property occupancy requests. Committee decisions are recommended to council for approval.

The guidelines outline a series of considerations for both council and the commission to consider prior to allowing an event. Applications for private use of parks are considered first by the commission then by council. Parks and recreation can permit an individual club or association to use parks as a “playing ground” but specifically requires permits for ceremony, gathering or meeting, any amplification system or loudspeaker, private function, recreational program, tournament or to erect any structures. Only council can approve any commercial use.

“When I look at it, it’s a reiteration of what our current bylaws are and a reminder that we do need to look at the number of events we hold in our municipality,” Braithwaite said.

Organizers are responsible for extra costs associated to an event – such as signage, cleanup and policing – but those costs have not always been passed on.

“When we have this increase in events that’s an increase in policing or garbage maintenance … it affects

so many different departments in the municipality,” Braithwaite said. “We have to make it fair for everybody and we have to make it so it’s not a cost to the municipality.”

Oak Bay MLA takes run at B.C. Green Party leadershipTom FletcherBlack Press

He took a pay cut to go from the tranquil groves of academe to the bare-knuckle brawl of B.C. politics, but Andrew Weaver says he’s ready to lead the B.C. Green Party into the next election.

The first-term Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA told reporters at the legislature this week he made up his mind over the Christmas holidays to carry on with his political career, after two years of keeping his options open.

Weaver said he will stand for the leadership

of the party as it tries to consolidate its Vancouver Island foothold of one provincial and one federal seat, held by federal Green Party leader Elizabeth May. He said that leadership vote likely won’t be until 2016, to prepare for the next scheduled B.C. election in 2017.

A mathematician specializing in climate models, Weaver took political leave from the faculty of the University of Victoria to run in the 2013 election, and defeated former B.C. Liberal cabinet minister Ida Chong. He went from a $180,000 job at UVic to $101,000 as an MLA.

Weaver declined to seek the leadership after winning the party’s first-ever B.C. seat, and the party appointed Saanich North and the Islands candidate Adam Olsen as interim leader instead. Olsen has indicated he will run again in the seat where he came close in 2013, with voters who supported May in the last federal election.

Despite the marginal role given independent MLAs, Weaver has made an impression on the government and the opposition NDP. Premier Christy Clark has taken to praising his ideas, such as his call to replace flat-

rate Medical Services Plan premiums with a system that shifts more of the cost to high-income earners.

Clark ruled that out for the February budget, but said Weaver’s suggestions are refreshing after the negative rhetoric of the NDP.

NDP leader John Horgan said promoting Weaver is just more political tactics by Clark.

“I think they’re trying to draw attention away from us, who I think are doing a relatively effective job, and trying to put a spotlight on someone who may well cut our grass over the long term,” Horgan said.

The form is beginning to take shape on the biggest addition to Oak Bay’s rental market in recent memory.

Construction is moving along on The Clive, a 17-unit rental housing development on Oak Bay

Avenue.“There have not been a lot of new rentals

constructed, primarily because interest rates, construction costs, land costs, it didn’t work financially,” said Nicole Roberts, owner of the Clive.

“It will work in this location and that’s really because I bought an older building and was able to reimagine it and work through the process to rezone it. On top of that we’ve had very low interest rates for the last while. So it’s just been a sweet spot where we’ve been able to make this happen.”

The new building, being built to LEED standards, replaces an eight-unit rental building and will include five two-bedroom units along with a mix of one-bedroom and one-bedroom plus den.

While the proposal for a 17-unit development initially faced some opposition, Roberts said she is hearing a lot of positive feedback from the neighbours on Clive Drive and the surrounding area.

“A lot of the concern in the community was about setting precedent for denser development, people really worry will this happen in my backyard or on the corner of my street,” said Roberts. “I think in the end it was supported largely by the community as well as council because it really just is that one appropriate place – we have commercial use next door and it’s the existing use that was here before.”

The Clive is expected to begin welcoming tenants in October and Roberts said there is already a waiting list for people interested in moving in.

“I think you’ll see everything from people trying to get into the housing market in Oak Bay to people wanting to stay in the housing market in Oak Bay but not wanting the responsibility of home ownership any more,” she said, adding the development offers a simple and carefree lifestyle.

While each suite will be assigned one of the 17 parking spaces, they will also come with a membership to the car share for someone looking to be vehicle-free.

“You’ve got a bus stop and you’re within walking distance of everything, all the services you need,” said Roberts, adding the building has a walk score of 95. “The walk score would actually be 100 if we were closer to a school, the school is just outside the one-kilometre range.”

She said the construction has gone smoothly so far, with the weather co-operating and Knight Contracting doing a great job with the project.

“We found a little bit more rock when we started than our geotech indicated so blasting was a little bit longer than we thought but otherwise everything is really ticking along,” said Roberts.

Comedy closes out Company C seasonChristine van ReeuwykNews Staff

A family of characters will crash each and every final Company C show starting this week in the performance hall at the Canadian College of the Performing Arts. Company C rounds out its season with Luigi Pirandello’s Six Characters in Search of an Author starting this week in Oak Bay.

“It is a tragic absurdist comedy about a family of characters searching for reality, and their story to be told. Seeing the show is an experience in itself, it makes us think and feel in ways that we don’t every day,” said Sadie Fox. The Saanich resident portrays the mother in the show that “presents concepts about who we are and how we live in an entertaining and thought-provoking format.”

Being 21 with no children, the role of the mother was a challenge.

“As the mother I don’t speak very much, but she’s fairly forefront on stage often … feeling torment and pain and anguish for her children,” Fox said. “I do a lot of thinking from a very different perspective than usual being the mother.”

The 1921 Italian play offers audiences an oddly estranged family

who interrupt a local theatre company mid-rehearsal to demand that the director write a play to depict their story.

A favoured part of Fox’s final performance with CCPA is working with the “infectiously positive” director James Fagan Tait.

“The thing that I love the most about it is early in the play we set up this space as a rehearsal in progress so the audience walks into a rehearsal,” Tait said. “From the back of the hall on the street these six characters come in and it’s … from another reality.

“We break the space in that way. Then we try to cope with six

characters hanging out.” Six Characters in Search of an Author

runs until Feb. 1 in the rehearsal space at CCPA, 1701 on Elgin Rd.

“It was written by Pirandello in 1921, you have to wonder whether it’s going to fly in 2015. That’s a challenge we put to the cast every day,” Tait said.

He feels it works, and part of the reason is the willingness and freshness of the cast.

“On top of the talent – there’s a ton of talent – they have good will. And they have the good will that comes with being responsible for their own company,” Tait said. “It’s a spectacular way to approach work.”

This marks the final show for the CCPA third-year students that make up Company C, providing the professional experience in their final year at the college. All 14 Company C students are hands-on sewing costumes, focusing lights or balancing spread sheets guided by working professionals.

“I don’t think I’ve ever been this excited before to share a piece with my friends and family and community,” Fox said. “It’s our last show with CCPA and it’s the space we started out in day one year one … most of all it’s an interesting way for us to reflect.”

[email protected]

Artists put their hearts into work

On with the shown CCPA hosts Casino Royale 006; Never Say Never Again a Bond-style night of cabaret entertainment and gaming on Feb. 1 at 7:30 p.m. at the Oak Bay Beach Hotel. Proceeds go towards training students at the Canadian College of Performing Arts.Tickets for Casino Royale and Six Characters are available through the CCPA office at 250-595-9970 or ccpacanada.eventbrite.ca online.

The Oak Bay Art Club is returning to Goward House for the upcoming exhibition All You Need is Heart.

It’s the club’s biggest show of the year and will feature 38 various works of water colour, acrylic, pen and ink and collage, representing nearly all of the club’s regular membership.

“We came back to Goward House because it’s such a perfect space. It’s a venue that suits paintings, so that’s the emphasis,” said Oak Bay Art Club president Janet Mercer.

Goward House (2495 Arbutus Rd.) will open its doors Sunday (Feb. 1) especially for the show’s grand opening from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. The art will be on display during Goward House’s regular hours, weekdays 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., until Feb. 25.

“It’s important to note Goward House isn’t open weekends so it might be the best chance for some to see the art. The show is free,” Mercer said. “Many of the works will be for sale, the artists will be there and will have additional materials with them.”

The retired chartered accountant couldn’t resist painting a water colour of a harbour taxi, or pickleboat, for her submission. She’s been able to focus on painting since she moved here three years ago after a teaching career at Okanagan College.

“Our members are from everywhere, we’re not restricted. It’s just that we meet in Oak Bay,” Mercer said.

The Oak Bay Art Club is 71 years old and meets bi-weekly on the main floor of the Windsor Park Pavilion at 7:30 p.m. on Mondays. The club has a wide focus of interests in the visual arts and media, ranging from beginner to advanced.

Saanich’s Goward House holds regular monthly art exhibitions. For more information, visit oakbayartclub.com.

Rainy Days by Pam Orman is just one of the works that will be featured at the Oak Bay Art Club’s show at Goward House.

VIEWPOINTPenny Sakamoto Group PublisherLaura Lavin 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

My family and I have been following the cull since almost the beginning. We have heard the mayor on radio, read his comments in print and seen him on television, all the time pushing a cull.

We have also spoken to people at the anti-cull rallies who are very knowledgable and hardly a bunch of zealots like others claim. We have also researched and read information on culls, and the scientific evidence shows they are nothing more than a waste of time and money. Not to mention the stress imposed upon the deer.

I wonder why the mayor of Oak Bay insists on pushing the cull and the only thing we can agree to is it is a political move on his part. His reasons for a cull are truly foundless. Is safety more of an issue here in Oak Bay than anywhere else? We do not think so. Do we truly have an overpopulation of deer? According to a deer count, no.

A cull will cause a lot more problems than his honour realizes. He has a four-year term and it might just be a very difficult four years.

Percival Farnsworth and familyOak Bay

Rationale for cull changesIn a meeting with Mayor Jensen

and a group of residents on Jan. 18, 2014 regarding the cull and especially the inhumane method of trapping with the clover trap and the possible harm to the deer and the operator, the mayor claimed that Oak Bay would be using traps with alarms that could alert the trappers when a

deer enters so the deer would spend very little time in it.

He also said they would not be using some inexperienced “fly by night” trappers, only experienced people. At the time, these traps were not available in Canada. Now the traps will be set in the evening and the trappers will go in the morning. Very little time? The mayor has stated that a contract has been signed and they will start training the trappers. Training the trappers, what happened to the experienced people he mentioned?

The provincial vet in a report to Oak Bay council stated that existing traps are not as efficient, require more manpower and would cause more stress to the deer and could possibly be associated with slightly higher risks to the operators. And the mayor wants to train these inexperienced people. Why does the story constantly change?

Currency criteria neededTo feature women on currency it is

necessary to have selection criteria.Kim Cambell, Michelle Jean, and

Beverley Busan are all out as they were failures or worked against life with post-modernist nonsense behind their statemetns. Lisa Helps might reject Elizabeth Queen of Canada, and of course she is already on pockets full of coins.

I’d vote for Elsie McGill, an engineer at Pratt and Whitney Canada many decades ago. And wasn’t there a distinguished

astronaut from Canada? Otherwise, why not a mother trying to teach her children to manage a household budget in the face of activists and politicians wasting money on worrying about the appearance of money?

Keith Sketchley Saanich

Food labeling a necessityThis is in response to letter by R.L.

Nixon in the Jan. 21 edition. Neonicotinoids are a major

contributing factor in bee colony collapse or toxic-house syndrome. R.L. Nixon knows not of what he speaks.

He refers to selective sources, skates around vital differences and gives a big hug to Monsanto.The question of what’s in our food demands support for sustainability labeling.

Parents taking thefun out of the game

At first glance, the idea to ban parents from local hockey rinks may sound ridiculous.

But the idea was floated last week when the Vancouver Island Minor Hockey Association announced it was considering banning people from the stands for an entire weekend, as

a way to send a message to incorrigible parents and others who frequently berate, referees, coaches and players.

On second glance, it may just be a good idea. Because throughout the province – and no doubt elsewhere – there does seem to be a problem.

Last week, Penticton parents ended up in fisticuffs with fans of an opposing team at a tournament in Salmon Arm. Earlier this month, a Burnaby hockey dad was given a conditional discharge and 12-months probation after threatening a nine-year-old minor-hockey player.

And last November, a restraining order was placed on a woman who was allegedly harassing the Kootenay Ice junior team, as well as the National Hockey League’s Detroit Red Wings, with regard to her sons’ hockey careers.

So perhaps having a no-spectator weekend – or even simply bringing the idea of one to the forefront – should be considered a way to put things in perspective for parents, coaches and others who frequent our arenas, football fields, gyms and soccer pitches in support our area’s young athletes.

While competing in front a supportive crowd can be rewarding in itself, the players, first and foremost, are out there to make friends and have fun playing a sport they love.

It is considerably less fun, one would assume, when you have to embarrassingly hang your head because your parents are screaming from the stands or sidelines.

For the sake of all involved, a friendly reminder about what these games should really be about is never a bad thing.

The Grants Criteria Task Force is ready to create a framework for Oak Bay council.

The final member of the task force was appointed Monday. Linda Allen will join councillors Kevin Murdoch and Tara Ney on the group created late last year.

Allen is a member of the Oak Bay Parks and Recreation Commission, was on the official community plan committee, is a well known planner and been involved in the community “in a variety of ways over the years,” said Mayor Nils Jensen. “She brings a wealth of community experience and insights to this grants criteria committee.”

Come mid-March, the task force will report on options for creating a criteria for the annual community grants issued by the municipality in April.

“That hopefully will create a bit of a standard that we can measure each grant application by,” Jensen said.

Jaguars return to Windsor for 2015

Council OK’d the popular Jaguar club event in Windsor Park for July 18.

The Jaguar Car Club hosts the annual Jaguars on the

Island, known as the largest of its kind in North America. It draws cars from Washington, Oregon, California and across the province into

Alberta and raises funds for Victoria Hospice.

The approval is subject to all the usual requirements for an Oak Bay event: holding at least $3 million in public liability insurance and agreeing to pay all invoices from the municipality for costs incurred related to the event.

Kiwanis shred event OK’d for Willows

Kiwanis will hold its annual fundraising shred after receiving approval for the new event Monday night at council.

Oak Bay Kiwanis will collect paper on March 14 in the parking lot of Willows Park.

Council allowed the event, subject to the usual terms covered in a public property occupancy agreement with the District of Oak Bay.

Mayor joins harbour board

Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen is among the six new directors on the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority board.

Two of the six, Starr McMichael and Gordon Tweddell, are independent directors selected from the community through a competitive process.

The remaining four directors, Jensen, Nicholas Banks, Ben Isitt and David Schinbein, were appointed by GVHA from nominees provided by four of its member agencies.

“We’ve appointed experienced individuals who will serve the interests of the region and add strength to GVHA’s board,” said Bill Wellburn, board chair.

The nominations process focused on the skills and experience required by the board, and the six new directors will join seven others on GVHA’s 13-person board.

Victoria MP Murray Rankin got a pat on the back and a new job from NDP Leader Tom Mulcair last week.

Rankin was named the NDP’s health critic – a plum job within caucus. He replaces Vancouver MP Libby Davies, who is retiring.

“It’s a big deal and I’m excited about it,” Rankin said.

Rankin gained a lot of traction on his previous file, as national revenue critic, where he held the government to task on politically motivated audits of charities and attacking tax haven

loopholes.The rookie MP said he has his work cut out for

him, noting that Davies did a very good job in the health critic role for many years.

He looks forward to the challenge.“We’re pushing against a government that’s

hellbent for leather in privatizing, or radically cutting back, on the state’s commitment to socialized medicine,” Rankin said.

“I’m going to be leading the charge against the $36 billion that they [the Conservatives] are cutting out of the budget over the next few years.”

MP Pierre Dionne Labelle takes over from Rankin as the national revenue critic. Rankin will also be the deputy critic for national revenue.

COMMUNITY NEWSIN BRIEF www.oakbaynews.com

Tom FletcherBlack Press

Campsite fees are going up between $2 and $5 at provincial parks around B.C. this spring.

After March 15, a night under the stars at Golden Ears or Gordon Bay or Goldstream Provincial Park goes from $30 to $35 per night, while many more remote campsites will see a smaller increase in fees.

Fees at 40 provincial campgrounds in the Kootenay-Okanagan, Northern, South Coast and West Coast regions are increasing at least $3 a night, and 141 of B.C.’s 204 provincial campgrounds will see a $2 increase.

The Ministry of Environment says this is the first provincewide increase in fees since 2010. Rates for backcountry camping and use of sani-stations remain at $5, and fees for mooring buoys, picnic shelters and group camping are unchanged. Parking fees for day-use lots, a failed experiment from 10 years ago, are not being reintroduced.

The ministry says the varied rate increases take into account local demand and economic conditions as well as private camping availability. Sought-after locations such as Cultus Lake and Shuswap Lake charge $35 a night for a site with up to four adults, while nearby private campgrounds charge higher rates.

The province collected about $17 million from its park and recreation fees last year, while spending $22 million on direct park operating costs.

Jeneece Place marks three years of providing comfort to familiesDon DescoteauBlack Press

A facility created to allow out-of-town families to stay nearby while their children receive medical treatment at Victoria General Hospital celebrated its third birthday this week in View Royal.

Jeneece Place – named for energetic young fundraiser Jen-eece Edroff, who turned 21 the same day – has been a home away from home for more than 730 families since it opened in 2012.

Most come from Vancouver Island, but some have come from further reaches to have a place of respite while their chil-dren undergo operations, reha-bilitation services or recover from accidents.

Linda Hughes, president and CEO of the Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island, which built and operates the 10-bedroom, fully outfitted house, said she has been sur-prised at the breadth of circum-

stances in which families that stay at the home find them-selves in.

“The families are amazing, they’re people who maybe have a big family, maybe it’s a first child or a fifth, and they come from as far north as you can go,” she said.

Over the three years Jeneece Place has been welcoming fami-lies, one of the more common scenarios for guests has been the birth of a premature baby and/or the need for their infant to stay in the neonatal intensive care unit, Hughes said. “I don’t think anyone understood that big trend.”

Another trend that has emerged, she said, is the use of the facility by parents who live in town, as a place to perhaps freshen up or rest when their child is in hospital for tests or their baby has to stay overnight. “It’s a refuge for them.”

Hughes, who has been with the foundation for about a year and a half, said any conversation about the value of Jeneece Place

comes around to the amazing young woman who started it all.

“Thank God that Jeneece trusted her instincts, that because of her own personal experience that this was a much needed [project] and would be a very successful endeavour,” she said. “She trusted what she knew as a childhood (patient) and the community trusted her.”

Edroff, who still comes to the house regularly to help out, on top of her fundraising activities, was taken out for a special birth-day meal with her parents as part of the anniversary celebra-tion.

Speaking of fundraising, efforts are ongoing to keep the house running. It costs $350,000 per year to operate and is funded by donations from the com-munity. The Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island accepts donations and issues tax receipts where applicable. To donate or find more infor-mation on Jeneece Place, visit childrenshealthvi.org or call 250-519-6977.

CARRIER OF THE MONTH

GREAT JOB

carriers!KYLE I did this route when I was ten for perhaps a year or so, until I broke my arm quite badly and had to stop. Two or three years later I started the route again and have continued until the present. I am extremely busy with my school work, choir, band, and karate that I have very little free time to spare. The route allows me to have a source of income to help pay for

band and choir trips without taking away large amounts of time from my schedule. I also enjoy the nature of the job, as it gets me out of the house when I would otherwise be stuck behind my desk and has helped me to form relationships with my neighbors when there would otherwise be none. As for hobbies I am very involved with the music program at Oak Bay High and love preforming with the Chamber Choir and Sr. Jazz Band. Most of my studies revolve around math and science and I am taking an applied engineering course this year. I have my brown belt in Shotokan karate and practice three times a week up at the Uvic Gymnasium.

Congratulations Kevin on being “Carrier of the Month” and for always delivering your papers with a smile.

Question of the WeekThe Canadian auto season kicked off in Montreal and the Vancouver show starts March 24. Do you plan to visit the show? If so, are you looking to buy? Or just to see what’s new?

Safety Tip:Potholes can be a hazard during cold and wet weather

months. For all types of winter hazards, remember two key tips: reduce your speed and increase your following distance. The more time you have to react to any hazard the better.

DrivewayCanada.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat

Concepts in Quebec: Canadian auto show season gets underwayMontreal, Quebec – Le Salon Interna-tional de l’Auto de Montreal heralds the opening of the Canadian auto show season, right on the heels of the “Big One “in Motor City (aka Detroit).This year, yours truly attended the pre-views for both auto extravaganzas and found optimism abounds in the industry, north and south of the border.As reported last week from Michigan, the Daddy of all Auto Shows showed a lot of high-end cars and new full size trucks. Montreal has a regional flavour with more exhibits that reflect that market’s taste for smaller cars. The latter clearly influenced the decision to unveil the new subcompact Mazda2 here; a select group got the opportunity to get up close and personal with the machine in an artist’s gallery across town. The next day, the all-new CX-3, updated Mazda6 and CX-5 joined it on the show stand. The new Mazda2 was coloured in what I call show-off red and showed off its so-called KODO – Soul of Motion – design style to its best. I first saw this handsome style, which gives the impression that the vehicle is moving even when stationary, at the Mazda6 launch in Paris a few years ago. Translating it into a smaller car is not just a matter of shrinking the original but requires great design skill and clearly, Mazda has that in abundance.In Canada, a 1.5-litre SKYACTIV-G gasoline engine will power the Mazda2, and a choice of two transmissions will be available – a six-speed manual and a six-speed

auto. Prices will be fixed closer to launch, later this year, but expect it to be compa-rable to the current model and come in below $15,000.While there were plenty of econo cars on show, like Detroit, other than the Mazda2 there was nothing new to see in that range. Green cars were in evidence in Montreal but when the shows reach the west, you can expect to see many more cars for the eco-conscious drivers.

Four concept cars did turn heads…

Cadillac ElmirajYou won’t see one on the road but the long two-door grand coupe concept will influence the near-future design of the next line of Cadillacs. The Elmiraj features a 4.5-litre twin turbocharged V8 deliv-ering an estimated 500 hp. The engine takes the baseline technology from the Cadillac Twin Turbo V6 and expands it to

the classic performance format of a V8 engine.

Hyundai IntradoThe same can be said of the thinking behind the Hyundai Intrado, which is a concept crossover designed to foreshadow a change design direction for the Korean manufacturer. It looks a little bit like an oversized Juke, the quirky Nissan product loved and hated seemingly in equal measure. The Intrado seems a bit more lovable and passersby indicated a similar looking production would in find favour among many.

The concept features a hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain linked to a 36 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that Hyund-ai boasts will provide a range of 600 kilometres. By the way, British Columbians will soon be able to lease a Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell, with a similar power-train and a reported range of 425 kms.

Subaru VIZIV2The Subaru concept crossover utility hybrid shown is a four-door version of a previously revealed two-door. Get this: Subaru says its “athletic, rugged shape of the sides seem designed in the image of a muscular NHL defenceman, and the fenders flare in a sturdy style.” Ahem.Looks like it came out of the Nissan/Infiniti design studios, and that’s not a criticism.

Toyota FT1Toyota was all about the roar of the engines in Montre-al, which certainly pleased the gathered Quebec auto journos, who to a man/woman always appear to be race crazy to me (Given the market reality in Quebec, that doesn’t appear to be reflected in car buyer choices). Nevertheless, most would surely enjoy the sleek lines of the Toyota FT-1, designed to be at home on the track and a heck of a ticket magnet on the highway. Up next is the Toronto Show, which takes the name The Canadian International Auto Show. Bite your lip, Morgan. The Calgary show follows, then the new-look, re-imagined Vancouver International Auto Show debuts March 24-29.

It’s the Cadillac of station wagons

7x 7

saunders

By Bob McHugh

The CTS Sport Wagon (2010 – 2013) was the first in-house full production wagon (based on a sedan) made by Cadillac. The CTS has clean, crisp, edgy styling that is distinctively modern Cadillac. The sedan edition of the highly successful rear-drive CTS was introduced for the 2003 model year and captured numer-ous awards. Its high-powered V variant, which followed in 2004, embarrassed Euro competitors of the day by smashing the production car lap speed record at the revered Nurburgring, in Germany. These days, wagons are less popular here than in Europe, so the available local used car market pool, for this edi-tion of the CTS, is not a very deep one. North Americans tend to buy utility type vehicles instead of a wagon. A wagon is typically closer to a sedan in terms of driving dynamics, yet has more than double the cargo capability. A CTS Sport Wagon is a little taller and heavier than the sedan, it offers 736 li-tres of storage space with the rear seats up, and 1,642 litres with them folded. There’s also a clever sub-floor cargo management system and the rear door is power-operated. The base engine is a 3.0-litre (255 horse-power) V6 that’s mated to six-speed au-tomatic transmission. The other engine is a 24-valve, 3.6 litre, direct injection (304 horsepower) V6, that provides more

torque at lower engine speeds, yet fuel economy is about the same. Using the newly revised rating method, consump-tion should be about 12.8/8.6 L/100 km (city/highway).The CTS can also come with an all-wheel drive system that normally splits torque 30/70 front-to-rear, to maintain its sporty (rear-drive) driving dynamic. It’s capable of delivering up to100 per cent of torque to either axle if needed, but there is a small increase fuel consump-tion.An interesting adaptive forward lighting system was included in an option pack-age that came with Xenon headlights. This system automatically adjusts head-light direction for improved visibility at night. It can also turn the headlights up to 15 degrees inboard and 5 degrees outboard, providing better vision while cornering.The big news for 2011 model year was the addition of a, limited edition, high-performance CTS-V Sport Wagon model. Like the V sedan it’s powered by a 556-horsepower supercharged V8 engine and came with 6-speed man-ual transmission or optional 6-speed automatic. You’ll likely pay a $20,000 premium (maybe more) to acquire a (hard to find) used CTS-V Wagon.The 2012 edition of the CTS Sport Wag-on came with a new 3.6-litre V6 engine that is more powerful (318-horsepower) yet lighter than the 3.6-litre engine it

replaced. It also came with a new grille, standard Bluetooth and a new option package that made it look like a V Wagon. No significant changes followed for 2013 and it was the last production year of this generation of the CTS.Although it can be harder to find in the used car market, Sport Wagon adds a handy utility bonus, without destroying the scintillating driving experience that is Cadillac CTS.

Price Check: 2010 - 2013 Cadillac CTS (January 2015)Year Edition Expect to Pay Today2010 Sport Wagon $17,000 to $21,0002011 Sport Wagon $21,000 to $25,0002012 Sport Wagon $25,000 to $29,0002013 Sport Wagon $30,000 to $35,000 Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s condition, mileage, usage and history. A complete mechanical check should always be performed by a reli-able auto technician prior to purchase.

Safety Recalls: 2010 to 2013 Cadillac CTS:2003 to 2014: Some drivers may bump the ignition key with their knee and unintentionally move the key from out of the "run" position. A subsequent loss of engine power would unexpect-edly increase steering and brake pedal effort, and airbags may not deploy in

a collision. Dealers will remove the key blade from the original flip key/transmit-ter assemblies provided with the vehicle, and provide two new keys and two key rings for every original key. 2009/2010 - A wax coating applied to rear suspension toe link jam nuts may allow them to loosen. This causes a me-tallic clanking noise from the rear of the vehicle and the toe link could eventually separate. Dealers will clean, install two new jam nuts and, if required, the rear suspension toe link will be replaced.2011: A loss of grease from the centre constant velocity (CV) joint, on all-wheel-drive editions, can result in

vibrations of the propeller shaft. These vibrations may be transferred to a rollover sensor, located on the floor above it, and cause an unwarranted deployment of the side curtain airbags. Dealers will replace the rear propeller shaft assembly.2012 - The brake booster pushrod retention nut may not have received adequate tightening torque during vehicle assembly and could separate from the brake pedal assembly. Dealers will inspect the pushrod retention nut and, if necessary, torque the nut to specification.

OAK BAY NEWS - Friday, January 30, 2015 www.oakbaynews.com • A15OAK BAY NEWS - Friday, January 30, 2015 www.oakbaynews.com • A15

Dr. Laurel Parson’s presents the original First World War songs of her grandfather, the Canadian music publisher-songwriter Gordon V. Thompson, in the latest of the Faculty Concert Series.

From the Great War until his death in 1965, Thompson (1888-1965) played an extraordinary role in 20th-century Canada’s quest for a distinct national identity. Dr. Laurel Parsons, UVic School of Music theory instructor and Thompson’s granddaughter, brings his original First World War songs to life in a lecture-recital on Feb. 3.

Joined by soprano Anna Shill (M.Mus ’13) and singers from the UVic School of Music, Parsons will present titles such as Red Cross Nell and Khaki Jim, Every Soldier is My Sweetheart, and Dreaming of Home. The audience will even have a chance to join in on some of Thompson’s rousing choruses.

Thompson founded the Authors and Composers Association of Canada in 1918 to lobby for the rights of Canadian songwriters to receive royalties

from sales of their music, leading to parliament’s historic 1924 reform of copyright law. In 1932 his new company acquired the rights to O Canada, but allowed the anthem’s widespread use

until surrendering the copyright to the Canadian government in 1970 for one dollar.

The WWI Songs of Gordon V. Thompson is Tuesday, Feb. 3 at 8 p.m. in UVic’s Phillip T. Young Recital Hall. Admission by donation.

at 5:45 p.m. Oak Bay High’s junior boys travel to Lambrick Park Thursday, Feb. 5, while the senior girls host

Stelly’s at 5:45 p.m. The school’s strong senior boys team will be looking for a win when it hosts a tough

AS OF JAN. 26/15 COURTESY VICTORIA REAL ESTATE BOARD

Dan EbenalNews Staff

Saying goodbye after 30-plus years is never an easy thing to do. And many find themselves torn by the thought of moving from the home where they raised their families.

“They’re daunted by the process, they don’t know where to start,” said Cassie Kangas, realtor with DFH Real Estate. “Especially here in Oak Bay, we have a lot of people who’ve lived in their houses long past the median [amount for most people]. There’s people who’ve lived in their home for 35, 40 or even 50 years.”

That’s why Kangas has put together a seminar to go over tips on where to start the downsizing process Thursday, Feb. 5 from 3-4 p.m. at Eileen’s Gourmet Coffee behind Athlone Court on Oak Bay Avenue. The Oak Bay realtor will be joined by the Downsizing Diva Cathy Haynes and Dana Stevulak, a mort-gage specialist with TD Bank.

“When people get to that point where they’ve got a lifetime worth of stuff in the house, they don’t know where to start,” said Kangas. “It’s about helping them take that first step because it’s too overwhelming to think about doing it all at once.”

Haynes said the first step for her is to ask the person about the place they’re thinking of moving to, the square footage and number of bed-rooms.

“It’s easier if they know, even roughly, what they’re moving into,” she said. “Then we can do a floor plan and ask ‘what’s your favourite pieces of furniture, what would you like to bring with you?’ And then from there we’ll deal with what’s not going to fit.”

Haynes said over time people can build attachments to their belong-ings, and those attachments can complicate a move.

“I think it’s really hard for people to get past. There’s two things, one is the sentimental value, and the other is they feel something is a waste if they don’t keep it.”

Haynes said she will first see what items can be sold, and those that aren’t sold will be offered to a num-ber of charitable groups she works with.

“It makes it much easier when people know their stuff is going somewhere where they know it’s going to be used.”

One of the suggestions Haynes makes is to take photographs out of frames and put them in albums

instead to reduce the amount of space being used.

“We have to continually look at creative ways to get things into smaller packets.”

Kangas will also go over the pro-cess of listing your home and find-ing a new home that better suits your needs.

“A lot of these people haven’t bought or sold real estate in a long time and the process is completely different. So they don’t even know where to start.”

She said the process can be a stressful one and advises people to start thinking about downsizing long before it becomes a necessity.

“They need a lot of time. People realize they can’t do the stairs any more or the yard is too much. But

that process can be a long time,” said Kangas. “These people might need to think about it for six months or a year. It’s all about doing it at a pace a person can handle and not pushing them through the process.”

Asked if there was one piece of advice she could give to give peo-ple, Haynes says “I would say start small and start now. Because peo-ple take a long time to accumulate all of their stuff and it sneaks into your house one by one, so just start small.”

One place to start would be the Feb. 5 workshop. Those interested in attending are asked to RSVP as space is limited. You can contact Kangas at [email protected] or by calling 250-589-0368.

Can you please keep this ad the same, but switch out to the other Ocean view photo that you have for 725 Towner Park (Magical Mystery Tour), and the couch and outdoor view photo for "On Top of the World"? Also, please delete "Above and Beyond" and put in its place, "It's Magic" with the house photo, and list it as an OPEN HOUSE Sun 2-4 pm. 192 Bushby Ave. (This Sunday Jan. 18).

- "On Top of the World" is short on copy. Can you please add to the end, "Choose Life's finest: Enter-tain family and friends in your designer nest complete with authentic Wine cellar, or peacefully exhale, AWAY from it all."

- "It's Magic" is missing the word "enclave", right after "nestled in a premier"...
