TV crews leave cash trail behind

Arnold LimNews staff

Gracepoint productions has only been here four months, but Oak Bay could be cashing in for years to come.

With less than a month before the cast and crew of Gracepoint pack up and leave Oak Bay and many other filming locations across the South Island, the economic spinoff the municipality will enjoy may be greater than was foreseen.

“It is a rising tide lifting all economic boats throughout the region,” says Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen. “When you look at the region they are real and substantial. The estimate I have seen for the economic boost will be probably something in the area of $10 to $15-million injected into the local economy.”

He says parking and permits in Oak Bay alone could approach $20,000 going into municipal coffers and the budget for the series approached $250,000 per day. While there are real disruptions for some residents,

including a handful whose complaints ranged from late-evening filming and noise disruption, he says the overall community benefit outweighs the inconvenience.

“We appreciate that there is dislocation involved both in residential and business, but you have to step back and look at the overall picture, and this is good for the region,” Jensen says. “The Gracepoint people have reacted graciously and courteously and reached an accommodation with the neighbours. If there is going to be excessive disruption they will offer financial benefit or put them in a hotel for the night.”

Victoria Film commissioner Kathleen Gilbert was excited to host Gracepoint in Greater Victoria and said the amount film producers spend in any region should not be underestimated.

“The film company purchases things that every family purchases, so if you can, imagine the things you use throughout the year from gas and hair styling products, to propane to clothing. They buy a lot of clothing in a movie,” she says. “They have spent $2 million on accommodations alone.”

Isa Hosein has seen some of the economic benefit. The co-owner

of the Oaks Restaurant on Oak Bay Avenue has been closing his entire restaurant for two days at a time, renting the facility to the Gracepoint crew as a filming location. He’s excited about the prospect of more rentals and the additional traffic the show has created for his restaurant.

“The economic impact has been quite positive, it has put us on the map a little bit in terms of exposure,” Hosein says. “Everyone knows what is going on with Gracepoint around here and on days we close … those days are always challenging for us, (but) over the long term it will be a total benefit.”

He learned in December 2013 that the Oaks would be turned into the Crestview Rooms and Pub for the high-profile Fox television show and has already been paid for 12 full-day rentals and expects more as the show continues.

“Oak Bay Ave. is going to be portrayed on network U.S. TV as Gracepoint, we all know what that does for us come tourist season. Everyone wants to come see where it all happened,” he says. “The best part hasn’t come yet. The best part is when it airs and the whole world gets to see.”

Gilbert agrees and the former location manager is hopeful

the economic benefit for the community will continue well beyond May, when the entirety of the 10-episode first season’s principal photography will be complete.

“For Oak Bay … I don’t think you can underestimate the power of film tourism when it comes to a show like this. It’s a very popular film and the (show) it’s based on has resulted in film tourism in the city it was filmed in in the U.K. I don’t see why it would be different here,” she said. “If you Google Oak Bay now you get a lot more hits than you did before Gracepoint started filming.”

Nominate the great teachers in your lifeDon DescoteauNews staff

Like many profes-sions, teaching has changed a lot over the years.

As Black Press con-tinues our Great Teach-ers series, a celebration of educators presented with partners Staples and Thrifty Foods, we look at some of the pos-itive changes that have affected how our chil-dren learn and look at the world.

Diane McNay, the jovial president of the Lower Vancouver Island Retired Teach-ers Association, began her career in 1968 and retired “young” in 2002 at 56. She taught at sev-eral schools around Greater Victoria, including the last 20 at Arbutus Junior High in Saanich.

Teachers today are, on average, younger, she says, and have learned a system of education that focuses less on such unglamor-ous topics as English grammar and more on exploring the ideas of

free thought and criti-cal thinking.

“I think what has changed the most has been curriculum devel-opment,” McNay says of the switch from an emphasis on memoriz-ing facts and figures. “In social studies, which was my area, that was the best change that was ever made. It really made you think about what you would be doing and gave you more scope (to teach) more meaningful things that would make a lot of difference to the kids.”

Changes to the way topics are approached has paralleled advances in technology and access to informa-tion.

Parents whose chil-dren have graduated in the past several years, for example, have seen differences. They’ve come through an era in which assignments went from being writ-ten out – in some cases researched in library books – to being writ-ten and researched on a computer and printed

out. That in itself has helped make things easier for everyone: students, parents and teachers.

Tom White retired here in 2005 after 33 years teaching music and, late in his career, Internet-based com-puter classes. He says he enjoyed helping his

students get a handle on the emerging tech-nology.

“My technology students prolifically created movies, web-sites and Powerpoint shows,” he says. “Social networking was at the infant stages and (unlike today) only a few students were

using cellphones.”McNay says the

Internet has been both a blessing and curse for educators, who have had to keep themselves up to date on what’s out there in cyberspace and how it might relate to students’ assign-ments.

“There is a tendency

among students to sort of leap to Wikipedia the minute they want any information on any-thing,” she says. “But if the school has a really good teacher-librarian, they can teach students and teachers about databases and things that will make teaching more effective.”

Penny Sakamoto, group publisher for Black Press, notes teachers from past gen-erations were bound by a more strict establish-ment and formality that

wasn’t nearly as open.“And, I think the

schools really include input from the com-munity very effectively today,” she says.

“The high school job experience program is a very good example of that and the pro-grams where students interact with residents of seniors homes, for example shows a real understanding of today’s community based learning.”ddescoteau@vicnews.

Oak Bay’s budget is out and a planner is in.

The municipality finalized its budget at a council meeting April 28 and a 2.99 per cent raise in property tax will be accompanied by the addition of three new staff members. The long wait for the only municipality in Greater Victoria without its own full-time planner appears to be over.

“Throughout the Capital Regional District communities our size or smaller all use the services of an in-house planner,” said Mayor Nils Jensen. “It was felt it would be more efficient to have a staff planner than have a contract planner. That was important to continuity of decision making.”

Oak Bay council met over three days debating final discretionary budget items, also adding an Internet Technology technician to maintain and update the website and an executive assistant for Oak Bay Chief Administrative Officer Helen Koning. The three additional staff will cost the municipality approximately $43,000 in 2014, a number lowered by introducing them later on in the year and by capitalizing on efficiencies, including no longer contracting planners that cost the municipality $15,752 in 2013.

“I have been pushing (for this) since I was elected,” said Coun. Michelle Kirby. “The cost to the community in the long run by not having a planner puts us more at risk than paying that salary.”

Despite the additions, the property tax hike will be less than 2013’s 3.42 per cent increase for the average

household, not including the solid waste charge. The solid-waste charge does however come in higher than last year, swelling from $210 to $249.50 in 2014, due in large part to curb-side pick up for the kitchen organics program expanded in January.

Total municipal taxes to be collected in Oak Bay is approximately $19,194,748 for 6,454 residential properties which includes 5,483 single-family dwellings, 745 stratas or condos, 226 classified as other and 231 business properties.

“We always keep in mind we want to provide excellent quality service for the resident while not overburdening with taxes,” said Jensen. “When you compare to other increases in the region, we are in the middle. That shows the kind of job council has been able to do culminating in this budget.”

GUEST COLUMN

YOUR VIEW

Stop means stop. Really, we mean it.

It is the simplest of all traffic control devices and traffic laws – the stop sign. Stop. It’s one of the first words we learn in childhood: Stop teasing your sister; stop jumping on the bed; stop your complaining.

It shouldn’t be difficult to understand but most drivers don’t seem to grasp the notion that stop means stop. Not slow down, or roll through, but come to a full stop. Under Section 186 of the BC Motor Vehicle Act “186 … if there is a stop sign at an intersection, a driver of a vehicle must stop (a) at the marked stop line, if any, (b) before entering the marked crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or (c) when there is neither a marked crosswalk nor a stop line,

before entering the intersection, at the point nearest the intersecting highway from which the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting highway.

By law, the wheels of the vehicle must cease motion entirely.

Every day we see drivers in our community perform the rolling stop which doesn’t count when it comes to road safety and traffic enforcement.

Failing to stop completely is a three-

point demerit and $167 fine. Some of the excuses we’ve heard include: “Well, it was almost a stop.”

“I thought it was more of a yield at this intersection.”

And the best one I’ve heard,

“But this is Oak Bay!” I haven’t figured out the relevance of this last one, but I replied, “Yes, you are correct, this is Oak Bay and the traffic laws are the same as they

are in Vancouver, Prince George and Vanderhoof.”

It would appear that many people seem to feel that stop signs are merely a suggestion, and not a law.

Our community expects to be safe in all respects, traffic

safety is essential for all of us and coming to a complete stop at a stop sign is a traffic law that will be strictly enforced to ensure that accidents, injuries and fatalities can be avoided.

Const. Rick Anthony is Community Liaison Officer with the Oak Bay Police Department.

Creative gardener will be missed

I’m mostly a fair weather Bike to Work rider, and for the last few years I’ve suffered the start of my early spring rides with the cold wind tunnel of Cadboro Bay Road. Along the way I’ve frequently thought to myself ‘Ooohhh, the bus looks good now.’

But then, I’d pass Oak Bay High and approach the intersection at Foul Bay Road where I’d see work had been done on the garden bed there. This gave me cause to pedal on, for curiousity is a powerful motivator.

I would arrive at the traffic light, and get my first glimpse at this year’s creation. What would it be? A Crash Landed Alien? A Spider? A Cadborosaurus? A Fire Truck?

If I was early enough, and Oak Bay Parks Department Foreman Horticulturist Dan Bell

was still there working on the beds with his coworker, I’d have my first crack at a guess. I’d usually snap a photo on my phone and take a few more as it changed over the days and weeks ahead.

It was fun. I loved guessing, as much as I loved how it was talked about on the bus, and got people talking to each other.

It was inclusive, inexpensive public art and it made me smile every day for months as I went by.

My kids especially loved the alien. We kept hoping he might return on the fire truck last year.

It’s not everyone that makes you smile every day, but Dan Bell certainly made an effort that will be missed. He retired this spring as Oak Bay’s horticulturist. I hope he enjoys as many smiles himself as he created for others.

He will certainly by missed, and deserves a very happy next chapter.

Cattle Point.They later confirmed the pair

were husband and wife who lived together in the Saanich residence.

Police have not released any names or ages. The Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit and the Saanich Police Detective Division are investigating the two sudden deaths.

Police have not released any names or ages by Oak Bay News deadline.

Body found off Cattle Point


It’s spring car cleaning time, inside and outIf a road trip is part of your vacation plans this summer, it’s time to get the horseless chariot prepared.That means cleaning it inside and out and performing some important maintenance to ensure you get the best fuel economy.In most parts of B.C., the swap from winter tires to all-season or summer tires is already well under way (studded winter tire removal is mandatory by April 30). Winter tires are made with a softer and stickier rubber compound that wears faster and increases fuel consumption at higher temperatures. They also tend to be noisier and you’ll hear them even more, now that you can finally roll down the windows.You may also be dragging around too much junk in the trunk, like that snow shovel you always pack during in the winter months. Unnecessary weight increases fuel consumption and some of that extra weight could be in the form of mud and dirt on your vehicle’s undercar-riage. Road salt is probably also trapped in that muddy mess, which is a corrosion accelerant that your vehicle’s body doesn’t need. While you’re poking around in the trunk, take a look under the floor cover. Water leaking into the vehicle tends to accumulate in the lowest spots, or maybe that’s why it’s called a spare-wheel well. If the spare is a conventional tire, check its inflation pressure and, while you’re at it, make sure that the emergency jack and tool kit are also in good working order.

An easy check and repair item is lighting. You may need some help confirming that the brake and backup lights are functioning at the rear. Otherwise, it’s a simple walk-around check that should include the turn signals and head-lights (both low and high beams) and don’t forget the license plate and those little side marker lights. If you’ve got a vehicle with a headlight (clear plastic) cover that’s showing its age, there are some good products on the market now that help restore clarity. Wiper blades are another easy check and replace item. A build-up of grease or grim on the windshield will also reduce the effectiveness of the wipers. Clean

the rubber wiper blade with a soft cloth soaked in the glass cleaner. In B.C., those windshield wipers typically work harder than anywhere else in Canada and life expectancy can be less than a year. If they’re still streaking, chattering or generally not doing the job – replace them.Getting back to tires, a loaded vehicle driven at highway speeds for prolonged periods in hot weather conditions can be a punishing test for tires and the dreaded blow-out is a real concern. Even a tire that looks okay and has plenty of tread remaining may not be in great shape. The “best before” date on most passenger tires is eight years old and you should be able to find a date of manufacture stamped somewhere on sidewall of the tire.

A tire also performs best, lasts longer and provides best fuel economy when its internal pressure is set at a level recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, and checked on a regular basis. The tire decal, with optimal front and rear recommended tire pressures, is usually on the driver’s door or door jam. If not, the owner’s manual should give you the information and/or tell you where the tire decal is located. A single under-inflated tire (by about 6 psi /40 kPa) can cause a 3 per cent increase in fuel consumption.Using a grade of fuel with a lower octane rating than recommended by the vehicle manufacturer may cause the engine to ping or knock on hard acceleration or when climbing hills, which is not good for the engine! On the other hand, using a higher-octane fuel than your vehicle’s engine needs is generally a waste of money. That said, the pricier fuel may also contain some additional cleaner additives, which is good. Have a great summer and a safe driving vacation.

Luxury ute emphasis on safetyThe 2014 Infiniti QX60 is a luxurious sport utility vehicle that puts safety above everything else.Looks:The QX60 is a very attractive vehicle to these eyes; it has distinctive Infiniti looks. The projector-style headlights flow with the body lines and the fog lights look like they belong instead of an afterthought. The side body lines almost give the appearance of waves moving up the vehicle. LED rear brake lights and center high mounted stop-light sit atop the rear power lift-gate. Chrome accents around the windows give it a sense of elegance.In the cab:The cabin seemed large to me at first, but after climbing in and getting com-fortable it is really not that big. If you are a . . . how can I put this delicate-ly? – If you are an amply-proportioned person, really spend some time trying out all of the seat positions.Once in the driver’s seat I found the controls well positioned and easy to operate. I liked the navigation screen with 3D mapping, the monitor offers a bird’s eye view of the vehicle and detects moving objects thus providing more help in backing up in a tight parking lot.It features an 8-way power driver’s seat with adjustable lumbar support, 6 way power front passenger’s seat, 60/40 split folding and sliding second row bench seat that allows easy entry/exit even with a child seat installed and a 50/50 split folding third row seat that reclines. The audio sys-

tem is a 6 speaker, AM/FM/CD with MP3 playback capability and has a speed sensitive volume control. The AWD model receives a Bose 13 speak-er premium system.Safety first:The QX60 includes dual-stage front airbags with seatbelt and occupant sensors, driver and front passenger side impact supplement airbags, roof mounted curtain side impact airbags with a rollover sensor for all row outboard occupant head protection. Infiniti recognizes how important it is to have children secure in their vehicles. They have developed a latch system that securely anchors a compatible child seat. Intelligent brake assist system is a safety feature that continuously monitors and analyzes closing speeds to a vehicle ahead and provides warnings. If a collision is im-manent, it will also apply the brakes.

There is also a lane departure warning and prevention system.Power:A 3.5 litre, 24 valve V6 engine with 265 horsepower and 248 ft-lb of torque powers this vehicle. The trans-mission is an electronically continu-ously variable (CVT) with manual shift capabilities. Pump frequency:10.5/7.6 L/100km (city/highway)10.9/7.8 L/100km (city/highway) AWD ModelWarranty support:48 month/ 100,000 kmRoadworthy:Excellent handling to this vehicle, steering was quick and responsive, and body roll was at a minimum. Even though the engine was more than adequate, providing plenty of power, the CVT transmission was continuing to make adjustments and I found at times sudden bursts of power followed by a hard up shift. Definitely not something I expected with this type of luxury. Verdict:I was excited to drive this vehicle but disappointed by the size of the interior space and performance. The safety features of this vehicle are incredible and I think most people would feel very safe driving it.Sticker price:QX60 3.5 $43,000QX60 3.5 AWD $45,500Price as tested $62,950

Certain cars just won’t recede into the automotive fossil record.Designers – particularly those from their company of origin – keep going back to the well. And why not?

It’s almost impossible to top the cars on this list:1967 Toyota 2000 GT: The gorgeous Toyota 2000 GT sports car was a giant commercial flop when it was introduced. The status

of Japanese cars in the U.S. market at the time was roughly the equivalent of Korean cars about 15 years ago, and a Japanese car that cost more than a Jaguar E-Type, a Corvette or a Porsche 911 found few takers. Just over 300 were built and the model’s failure continues to haunt Toyota. The roofline and green-

house of the 1967 2000GT show up almost unaltered in the latest Toyota sports car concept, the FT-1. Incidentally, Toyota has probably had the last laugh here, as the 2000 GT is now the only Japanese collect-ible car worth $1 million.1967 Cadillac Eldorado: The ’67 Eldorado is one of the great overlooked post-war

American classics. A Bill Mitchell design triumph, it’s an ageless design that wouldn’t look out of place in a showroom today, particularly since Cadillac continues to revisit the ’67 Eldo rear end, one of the greatest ¾-views of all time.1954 Jeep CJ-5: The original Jeep CJ may well be the

most knocked-off vehicle of all time, inspiring the likes of the Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser, Nissan Patrol, Suzuki Samurai, etc., not to mention, of course, the current Jeep Wrangler.Jaguar E-Type: The E-Type was one of the prime influ-ences for the above-men-tioned Toyota as well as the famous Datsun 240Z. Its extreme long hood, short rear deck design and covered headlight styling cues also continue to show up in Jaguar’s own products like the XK8 and the new F-Type. After all, it was by rival Enzo Ferrari’s own ad-mission the most beautiful car in the world.

1965 Ford Mustang Fastback: Long before Ford went retro with the 2005 Mustang, they knocked off their own design for the original pony car with the European Ford Capri. Toyota went one step further with the 1973 Celica Liftback, a virtual three-quarter-scale replica of the Mustang Fastback. Even the upper crust Aston Martin with its V8 Vantage model of the 1970s went to the Mustang well. The 2015 Mustang still sports design cues from the original 1965 Mustang Fastback.Rob Sass is the vice-presi-dent of content for Hagerty Insurance.

Buying used? We’re looking out for you. Find out how at WatchoutforWalt.com

I was getting good at this, so I purchased a used vehicle in the U.S. and imported it. It didn’t have any airbags, so the warning lights were on. But I wasn’t picky. I knew, based on my other tricks, I could solve that before I had it inspected and registered.You just couldn’t be too worried about the truth. I Googled airbags. I saw I had three options. Get certifi ed replacements installed at a repair shop. Buy some and install them myself. Or, override the warning light.I called and found that the fi rst option was out of the question. Way too expensive. But, option two had some promise. There were cheap ones online. Of course, there were some warnings about dangerous fake airbags.Option three, overriding the warning lights, went too far – even for me. You can fi nd how-to videos about anything on the web. So, I ordered cheap ones and had them sent to my U.S. mailbox. I used a buddy’s garage and put them in. Bingo! The warning lights went off and I was on my way. Soon, I had an ad up on several classifi ed websites:Great car for sale. Moving out of the country and need to sell fast! Good condition. Recently inspected. Call cell. I’m fl exible on price!!I couldn’t believe how many calls I had.I found my buyer not long after. A nice man about my age; divorced with three kids. That’s all I know about him – I don’t like getting too personal. I was actually honest about the vehicle this time. I told him that the car had been in an

accident and was from the U.S. I asked if he wanted a vehicle history report*, but he declined. He appreciated my honesty, as he’d gone through a few bad deals. With the transaction done, we parted ways. Then I got a call from my buddy.Being a curious person, he’d read the boxes the airbags came in that I’d left at his shop. “You installed counterfeit airbags,” he said. “So? They look identical to the original airbags,” I said.“I’ve seen videos of bogus airbags catching fi re and with metal bits exploding when they deploy. They’re not safe,” he scolded. I’ll take my chances, I thought. It would only be a problem in an accident.The next day, my buddy left a message. He ended our friendship.Whoa, chill out. A guy’s got a right to make a few bucks.

*Vehicle History Reports: CarProof and ICBC vehicle history reports provide detailed information about the registration and accident history of a vehicle. CarProof Verifi ed BC reports also include a lien search. These reports can’t tell you everything a physical inspection will, but they require the seller to Prove it! and not just say it.

Confessions of a Curber

“They’re not safe. But it would only be a problem in an accident.”

There are many different ways to get on the open, or dirt, road. I’ll suggest some new makes and models to consider but by no means are these the be-all-end-all of choices. CruisersCruisers have mass appeal because of their low seat heights, generally comfort-able ergonomics and ability to get you from point A to B in style. Some models have the foot pegs stretched forward, some don’t. They might not be the most nimble bikes around but they certainly do have mass appeal. Better yet, they come in all different sizes, shapes and displacements making it even more acces-sible to riders.Bikes: Honda CTX700, Yamaha Bolt, Harley-David-son Superlow 1200T, Suzuki Boulevard C50Sport TourerWant a sportier edge while still maintaining comfort while riding for extended periods of time? Consider a sport touring motorcycle. They’re generally not as heavy or as elaborate as a full on touring bike, so you get the best of both worlds.Bikes: BMW K1300S, BMW K1600GT, Yamaha FJR1300, Honda VFR1200TouringWhen asked how I’d describe a touring bike I say – not small. These machines are typically heavy, but come equipped with the technology and luxuries that can take you across the country and further. Their fuel tanks are generally much bigger so you can keep going for longer. Fur-thermore, storage compart-ments, relatively speaking, are quite generous.Bikes: Harley-Davidson Electra Glide/Ultra Limited, Honda Goldwing, Suzuki Boulevard C90T B.O.S.S. DirtPlaying in the dirt has never been so much fun. Whether

you’re young or young at heart, dirt bikes are a great way to enjoy the outdoors. Dirt bikes are restricted to the dirt, meaning, unless you have a dual sport bike that has a license plate, you can’t ride them in the road. That said, they’re generally quite affordable and are extremely durable. Since there are so many dif-ferent kinds to choose from,

I’ll list the manufacturers that make them.Bikes: Honda, KTM, Yama-ha, Husqvarna, Kawasaki, Suzuki, ApriliaSportThese are bikes generally designed with the racetrack in mind but are street legal. They have more horsepower than you’ll ever need and harness the engineering prowess of the best of the

best. That said, they have an aggressive seating position and aren’t always suited for taller riders. Then again, if we really want something to work, we make it work.Bikes: Ducati Panigale 899/1199, MV Agusta F3, Honda CBR600RR/1000RR, Suzuki GSX-R 750/1000, Yamaha R6/R1, Kawasaki

NakedNo, I’m not suggesting riding in your birthday suit! Naked bikes tend to have a more upright seating and handlebar position and are devoid of fancy bodywork

covering the engine and mechanical components. You still get quite a bit of sportiness out of these, but without the aggressive seating and the stress on your wrists.

Some Naked bikes are: Triumph Street Triple, Triumph Speed Triple, Ducati Streetfighter 848, Honda NC700X, Yamaha FZ-09.

Natalie NorthNews staff

Mark Bernhardt had high expecta-tions of his new home.

He expected Vancouver Island’s first “passive house,” a home he built with his father Rob Bernhardt at Bernhardt Contracting to be 60 to 90 per cent more efficient than stan-dard house construction to perform well. He wasn’t expecting the level of comfort he experienced upon moving in last May. And though he knew his energy bill would be low, he wasn’t expecting it to come in at about $200 for an entire year.

When the air-tight, 3,800-square-foot Saanich home with six residents can require such little use of its hot water radiator, it means even body heat is a vital source warmth. That 60 watts per person makes a differ-ence, Bernhardt says.

“My two kids probably run a lit-tle hotter than everybody else,” he adds with a laugh.

As gratifying as all the energy effi-ciency savings have been, it’s the environment inside the home that has the builder most enthused.

“There’s no cold spots, no drafts; the noise from outside has been really reduced. A house like this on a busy street would be really quite amazing to live in. You just wouldn’t hear the traffic. With the fresh air, we know that allergy symptoms are reduced.”

This spring the Bernhardts applied to the City of Victoria to build a six-condo passive home unit on Queen Street. The North Park Passive House, designed by Hughes Condon Marler Architects, has the same estimated construction costs

as a standardly-built project of the same size. Whether the units are rented or sold, Berhardt says they’ll come with a reasonable price tag.

“It will have all the comfort fea-tures of a passive house, but with the style of housing that we think is more valuable to the city right now. It doesn’t need to have the bling-y things that you see in some of the penthouses in some of the new con-dos around.”

Ultra energy-efficient homes are a trend for those educated enough to know what’s happening in other countries, where energy is more expensive and less green, says Peter Johannknecht, principal architect with Cascadia Architects. Johannknecht specializes in energy efficient design and worked on the Berhardts’ home in Saanich with Cascadia co-founder Greg Damant.

“As a trend, Victoria and B.C. in general have a very strong commu-nity of green builders and designers

and architects sharing and making these homes ready for the next 50 to 100 years,” Johannknecht says.

Currently, experiences are shared within this community via channels such as the Canadian Passive House Institute, located in Vancouver, and their social media sites. While most of the interest in passive homes in Canada is here in B.C., the idea is spreading throughout North Amer-ica.

“What’s really missing or lacking is some provincial or federal support to help this trend develop quicker and faster, so that the benefits on the climate and the new homes would be faster,” Johannknecht says. “Europe is way ahead of us with the governments, local and provincial and especially federal governments sets their demands very high and the industry has to follow. And it does. Suddenly the high standard becomes the norm. That’s exactly what needs to hap-

pen here.”While we may be lagging in

terms of standards, buyers of all kinds have long since concerned themselves with efficiency costs. “What’s the heating bill like?” is a question Victoria Real Estate Board president Tim Ayres has heard for years. Now, buyers are able to view a home’s EnerGuide rating, if the seller has sought one, on the MLS home listing service.

“Buyers have already started to consider energy-efficient homes over older homes. If you’ve don’t the energy-efficient upgrades, you’re going to have a much easier time selling and you’re probably going to sell for a bit more than you would if you hadn’t done it. It’s becoming more and more impor-tant going forward,” says Ayres. “Any amount that you do spend extra tends to recoup itself in a short amount of time.”

John Han isn’t speaking gibberish, even though it may sound like it.

The Korean Canadian’s next role, a gibberish-speaking foreign pilot in Kaleidoscope Theatre’s Robinson & Crusoe, will rely on a variation of his native Korean to tackle the challenge of speaking, without communicating to, an enemy with whom he finds himself stranded on a floating rooftop. It was a role and a challenge Han immediately felt a personal connection to.

“I gravitated toward (this role) because I grew up as an English-second-language kid,” the Oak Bay resident said. “I came here at nine and had a lot of issues learning the language.”

Han said a modified, and sometimes intentionally jumbled, Korean will play the baseline

for his speech, that weaves and intermingles sounds and phrases from his childhood as the gibberish needed to tell the tale, a production Kaleidoscope’s artistic director Roderick Glanville has wanted to bring to Victoria for many years.

“It is quite touching,” Glanville said. “I remember the first time seeing it (in 1985). It was so compelling because of its silence and the characters, I was sitting beside a five-year-old girl and at the end she was so moved she was crying because they found a way to co-operate.”

The script, originally written in Italian, deals with the issues of xenophobia on the backdrop of the Battle of Hong Kong, a battle that took place simultaneous to Pearl Harbour during the Second World War. Glanville said the play, which closes Kaleidoscope Theatre’s second annual Family Theatre Festival, would be one

families connect with. “I need to find work that

appeals to a wider range and to be able to reach a young person with a simple story,” he said. “I remembered it, I never forgot it was the play l wanted to do from my past and this was the perfect place to do it.”

Set outdoors at Fort Rodd Hill and Fisgaard Lighthouse National Historic Site, the adaptation runs May 7 to 11, at the outdoor venue that will see the audience covered, but Han and co-lead Garry Garneau exposed to the elements that could change from performance to performance. On top of the additional challenge of only a week of rehearsals for the 1-hour and 15-minute show, the stress and workload is high, but Han is grateful to be here.

“It was a blessing, it is really nice and I am thankful for roles like (this). I would love for students to see the show. … And

I want them to be connected,” he said. “I am a firm believer of being educated in the arts, not just to be an actor but for the betterment of team work and social understanding and understanding yourself.”

Kaleidoscope Family Theatre festival starts in Centennial Square

with Theatre SKAM, SNAFU Dance Theatre and Kaleidoscope’s Teen Ensemble from May 1 to 4. Robinson & Crusoe continues the festival May 7 to 11 at Fort Rodd Hill & Fisgard Lighthouse. Tickets start at $10 and can be purchased at ticketrocket.org.
