El Nino raises flooding fears: studyClimatic events linked to flooding and erosion of low-lying coastal areasCarlie ConnollyNews staff

A new climate study is forecasting the poten-tial for extreme flooding and coastal erosion that could affect waterfront properties on the Saanich Peninsula and along the entire west coast of North America. Researchers from the University of Victo-ria and 12 other institutions analyzed wave, water levels and shoreline response data to uncover

links between flood-ing and erosion and climatic events such as El Niño and La Niña.

This winter is shap-ing up as a “monster” El Niño year, in which warmer waters in the Pacific can cause the northwest coast of the continent to

experience warmer, drier winters. “We’ve seen 40 to 70 or more centimetres of

extra water, superimposed on the tide for several months during past El Niños so we can expect to see that as well this year,” said Ian Walker, profes-sor of geography at UVic, explaining that could mean flooding, coastal erosion and higher tides to low-lying areas along the coast.

“Generally, it means the ocean levels are higher because warm things expand so, with higher water levels then, the same storm, the typical winter storm that we see every year, could have a greater impact in terms of coastal erosion and flooding because it hits the beach at a higher elevation.”

Seniors the focus of Sept. 29 meetingJim ZeebenNews staff

Seniors play a vital role in our nation and deserve to know who will best represent their interests in the Oct. 19 federal election.

That’s the position of the Canadian Associa-tion of Retired Persons (CARP), which is host-ing a special all-candi-dates meeting at the Shoal Centre in Sidney from 2-4 p.m. Sept. 29.

“We’ve been advo-cating and working for seniors for years,” said Larry Cross, the former mayor of Sidney who now works as advocate for CARP. “We feel it’s important that seniors have a clear under-standing of each par-ty’s policies (that affect their demographic).”

Earlier this week, the only candidate who had yet to be confirmed was Conservative Rob-ert Boyd.

Green Party leader and incumbent MP Eliz-abeth May will be there, as will Liberal candi-date Tim Kane and the NDP’s Alicia Cormier.

“We’re focusing on seniors and senior issues,” Cross said, noting matters such as care-giver support and pension reform.

“The typical winter storm that we see every year, could have a greater impact in terms of coastal erosion and flooding.”

Meet the ‘wings’ behind this weekend’s Women, Wings and Wheels eventCarlie ConnollyNews Staff

Women helping women was the inspira-tion for a one-of-a-kind event planned for this weekend at the Victoria Flying Club.

Women, Wings and Wheels runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. this Sat-urday and features both bike and plane dis-plays, leaders and pro-fessionals in aviation and riding and a BBQ by donation.

The event is a part-nership between women from both the aviation and riding communities on a mis-sion to engage with as many women as pos-sible from all kinds of communities and back-grounds across the country.

Sharing the love of riding or flying, empowering Canadian women and young girls through education and opportunity, all while fundraising for those women and girls in cri-sis is what the event is all about.

Two of the women at the event will be Nancy Hamilton and Colette Morin who will take care of some of the aviation compo-nents, inspiring women and young girls to do anything they set their minds to.

Having been friends for years, the two women later met up with other spearhead-ers of the Women, Wings and Wheels event, Greer Stewart

and Joley Baker. After a few introductions, the rest was history.

“When we all get together, we get pas-sionate and want to do more,” said Hamilton, a real estate agent in Squamish who has a private pilot’s licence.

Morin is a com-mercial pilot based in Squamish where her company, Glacier Air, specializes in moun-tain flying tours around southwestern British Columbia.

Both women are passionate about the world of aviation and about inspiring young women, and for Hamil-ton it began as a sort of dream.

“I had this dream … that four women were flying in an airplane across Canada and we were raising money and awareness for womens’ issues,” Ham-ilton said. “I woke up from the dream think-ing ‘Wow! What was that all about?’”

Hamilton’s premoni-tion occurred about 10

years ago, just before she moved to B.C. from eastern Canada.

She later contacted friends who were also pilots, including Morin, and started to turn the dream into reality.

“Part of all this is about inspiring by doing, encouraging other people to see us and do the same,” said Hamilton. “So part of it is about inspiring women to do things they might not have thought they were capable of doing.”

Morin, despite hav-ing experienced breast cancer has come out cancer free and has had a burning desire to get the event moving for-ward.

“At the end of it all she said, she was even more fired up than ever and she’s like ‘you know, we got to do this thing,’ she gets out the map and she’s like ‘lets map this route out across Canada, what are we waiting for?’” said Hamilton, remem-bering back.

Taking ownership of Glacier Air in 2002 and having worked there as a pilot since 1997, it’s something Morin greatly enjoys.

“Nobody bothers me when I’m in the air,” she said jokingly.

“It’s a sense of free-dom, it’s a sense of accomplishment; ‘like wow look what I’m doing not everybody does this.’ Its kind of a different way to get in touch with the world around you, you see everything from a dif-ferent perspective…”

Both women will be at the event to talk to other women and girls hopefully inspir-ing those wishing to get into the industry to take that first step for-ward.

“We can do anything. My god, we can fly air-planes, we can ride motorcycles, we can give birth,” said Morin.

“Whatever your chal-lenges are in life, if you put your mind to it, there’s nothing that stops you.”

A new Kiwanis Club opened in Sidney on Sept. 19.

“We want to make sure that Sid-ney has the benefit of a commu-nity organization that’s focussed on helping kids,” said secretary of the club, Patrick Ewing.

“The main focus of Kiwanis is on youth and so we’re looking at ways that we can be involved with youth in the community whether it’s start-ing up a youth club at local schools or helping with some of the funding needs that schools have in the area, and just ways to make the commu-nity a little bit better place to raise a family,” said Ewing.

Ewing said the club has already had a number of discussions with the mayor, fire chief, police and local schools to talk about what they see as the needs in the community and where Kiwanis can assist.

“That’s given us some good ideas especially supporting Sidney Ele-mentary School,” he said.

“We’re looking at pursuing a rela-tionship there to help elementary school students especially those who are coming from less wealthy families.”

Those wanting to join must be over the age of 18.

For more information, Ewing can be contacted at 250 995-1362 or through email at [email protected]

On the Peninsula, low lying sandy beaches such as Island View, Cordova Spit and the stretch along Cadboro Bay by the low bluffs could be areas more severely affected this winter.

“In a season like this, where we have our normal tides and even normal storms … these will have a higher impact on the beach. In terms of erosion management and flood potential, there’s a greater potential this year for those reasons,” said Walker, coauthor of the study published Monday in Nature Geoscience.

Walker noted that the findings apply to future cli-matic events, including La Niña, which can cause wetter than normal winters.

“It’s not just El Niño we should be concerned about,” he stated. “Our research shows that severe coastal erosion and flooding can occur along the B.C. coast during both El Niño and La Niña storm seasons, unlike further south in California. We need to prepare not only for this winter, but also for what could follow when La Niña comes.”

Walker’s research has taken him from Haida Gwaii to California and the data is based on analy-sis of about 40 different sites since the early 2000s.

North Saanich building inspectors will be able to sleep a little better, after council approved a $2.6 mil-lion fix to the municipal hall.

The current building suf-fers from a number of struc-tural issues, says Mayor Alice Finall.

“Our building inspectors have been lying awake at night,” Finall said, adding that the state of the building is no laughing matter.

“In the back of the coun-cil chambers there is some crumbling going on.”

The mayor said public

reaction has so far been positive.

In fact, there has been considerable interest in the news that the project includes an innovative Tesla battery to power emer-gency operations.

“I think we might be the first (municipal hall to use the technology),” she said.

Council asked staff to include green initiatives and the battery came out of their research.

The Tesla battery will power the emergency cen-tre and, to some degree, the main hall during the day.

“If we have excess power, we can actually sell it back

to the grid.”The project is being paid

for by reserve funds and will not affect taxes.

The reserve balance in North Saanich is currently $14,741, 255.

According to a statement from the municipality, the need for the reconstruction is due to a number of fac-tors including:

• Structural problems such as stress fractures in the masonry and destabi-lized wood frame from sig-nificant water damage

• Inadequate seismic standard in parts of the building

• Lead in the drinking water due to soldered joints that are leaching, and asbes-tos in the flooring and insu-lation in the brickwork

• Poor ventilation sys-

tems impacting work areas, such as inability to provide sufficient heat in colder sea-sons, and overheating dur-ing the summer.

The municipality said the seismic upgrades needed are critical for the safety of staff and visitors in the buildings.

“When an earthquake hits, it’s the municipality’s job to support the commu-nity. Our centre of emer-gency operations will now be at municipal hall in a post-disaster constructed building,” said the state-ment. “From a convenience perspective, the new design of the entry will feature a single service centre provid-ing service improvements from all departments.”

In addition to “a number of energy efficient and green

aspects with the project,” the municipality said the project will use a combina-tion of “Solar Photovoltaic Panels and a battery bank to power the emergency operations centre and the municipal hall instead of a conventional diesel genera-tor for back up electricity.”

Over the life span of the system, this will be a less costly option than the gen-erator.

“We have been aware

of the deteriorating condi-tions in the municipal hall for some time,” Finall said in the statement sent out by the municipality.

“We have initiated stud-ies to look at our options to deal with the problems and have shared this informa-tion with our residents. We are able to undertake this project using reserve funds without any tax increase or borrowing because we save money in our reserve fund as part of sustainable financial planning for facil-ity management. The design of the new building is func-tional, practical and attrac-tive. It will be a very posi-tive addition to the munici-pality.”

The project will be done in several phases to mini-mize disruption to service.

El Nino warning a good reminder

A report that this year’s “monster” El Nino could cause serious flooding or erosion to low lying levels of the west coast is one more reminder about the need to be prepared.

The recently released report pored over a number of years of data from locations up and down western North America.

Scientists were able to show that climatic events that come along every few years can be linked to specific concerns, such as flooding and erosion.

Events such as this year’s El Nino or, alternatively, La Ninas that seem to have an opposite effect on how we experience the weather.

The evidence seems to point to one more reason to be concerned about climate change overall.

However, more immediately, the news about the potential for problems this winter is not a reason to panic.

If anything, it raises awareness about the importance of being prepared and the need to be able to remain as self-sufficient as possible for at least 72 hours.

We live on an Island off the coast of the largest body of water on the planet. In many ways, we are exceptionally fortunate that bad weather in these parts usually means it’s time to close the window or, gosh darn, turn on the furnace ( how many of us feel the need to talk about this next day around the water cooler).

But seriously, when the weather does take a turn, it can do so quickly and drastically.

Snow storms can cut off communities overnight, sudden flooding can cause havoc with our highways and powerful winds can knock out power grids.

By making sure we have enough food and water and that we have alternative ways to provide heat and light for three days on our own, we can all sleep a little easier.

And if the worst does happen, if flooding or some other disaster forces us from our homes, we will be thankful for taking the time in advance to prepare a bag with clothes and essential items we might need.

YOUR VIEW

Thank you for printing my letter regarding the unsafe lane location of the Sharrows on Fifth Street.

However I was hoping that you would look at the photo that I included with my original letter in order to show the unsafe situation seen on the photo and also use the text in the link to describe the area in question. The letter that you printed did not make much sense without the photo to visually see the problem.

The “Dooring” of cyclists is a serious enough problem without poorly located Sharrows guiding unsuspecting cyclists to a position on the road that could be in harm’s way should vehicles decide to pass the cyclist at the same time that the door of a parked vehicle is opened into their path.

Thank you for your consideration of my concerns.

Need to consider more than one viewpoint

Bill Wilson’s letter is clearly stated and to the point. The view he expresses however is pretty nar-row. When we decide how we want our world to be shaped and by whom, it should not be at the whim of a single point of view or political philosophy. We need to be engaged in democratic dialogue on a con-

tinuing basis as our world changes so quickly and we must have the governing vehicle able to respond to those changes for the good of all. It’s not just about the economy or the threat of terrorism.

Opinion supported by fact better than opinion alone

Here are two facts taken from the financial records of the Cana-dian government that will add perspective to the strong opinions

expressed in the “Harper keeping ...” letter of Sept. 16, 2015.

1. The current government ran six straight deficits including the largest single deficit ($55.6B in 2009 - 2010), unadjusted for inflation, in Canadian history.

2. The accumulated deficit (national debt) increased by about 30% during those six straight deficit years.

Strong opinions are persuasive. Strong opinions supported by fact are even more persuasive.

Over vocal objec-tions from some repre-sentatives, local politi-cians have narrowly endorsed a call for an “environmental bill of rights” for B.C. at their annual convention.

Calling it “an idea whose time has come,” Richmond Coun. Har-old Steves sponsored the motion Wednesday at the Union of B.C. Municipalities conven-tion in Vancouver. It calls for recognition of a right to “live in a healthy environment, including the right to clean air, clean water, clean food and vibrant ecosystems.”

Steves reminded del-egates of a summer of smoke from forest fires and a drought that saw his Cache Creek farm run out of water.

He noted the bill of rights has been sup-ported by 36 municipal-ities around B.C., after a tour of local councils by the David Suzuki Foundation’s Blue Dot campaign.

The idea was quickly challenged. “How is this resolution going to prevent forest fires

and create clean air?” North Cowichan Coun. Al Siebring asked. “It’s not.”

Williams Lake Mayor Walt Cobb dismissed the bill of rights move-ment as “David Suzuki propaganda” backed by urban people who don’t understand that mining and forestry provide the lumber, copper and other prod-ucts that build their homes and communi-ties.

Cobb said it already takes years of environ-mental review before resource extraction can be approved, “and if this passes, it will be another nail in the cof-fin of rural B.C.”

Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz urged support for the bill of rights, arguing it would “raise our conscious-ness.” Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps quoted from a presentation to coun-cil by an 11-year-old

boy and joined other delegates in calling for the resolution to sup-port future generations.

Coquitlam Coun. Terry O’Neill listed a dozen provincial laws governing clean water, air pollution, public health and food safety, calling on the conven-tion to focus on spe-cific measures instead of asserting rights that are actually “a demand for others to do some-thing for you.”

Canucks’ 1-0 victory in OT sends local fans home happyDon DescoteauNews staff

It was clear who was the “home” team for Monday night’s Kraft Hockeyville game at The Q Centre in Col-wood.

The sea of blue and green jerseys gave the Vancouver Canucks a distinct edge over their opponent, the San Jose Sharks, in the fan sup-port department.

But Ethelwyn Smith’s loyalties fell to a more local organization. The Central Saanich resident was one of a much smaller number of adults who donned a Peninsula Eagles minor hockey jersey for the NHL pre-season exhibi-tion.

“My son and daugh-ter both played minor hockey for Peninsula,” she said in between periods of what ulti-mately ended as a 1-0 overtime win for Van-couver. “Everyone is quite proud. I think it’s remarkable that this community (North Saa-nich) was able to pull this off.”

While the game was shifted to the larger arena from the commu-nity’s Panorama Recre-ation Centre for various reasons, not least to accommodate national

TV coverage, there was very much a North Saanich flavour to the night.

Given the numerous banners around the place celebrating the municipality as Hock-eyville, longtime Pen-insula Minor Hockey volunteer Cliff Orr dropping the puck for the ceremonial open-ing face-off, and the collection of young Eagles players doing the ice scrapes during the commercial breaks, a person dropping into the building might have believed they were actually in North Saan-ich.

“There’s a nice ambi-ance here,” said Smith, whose son, Brian, grew up and played hockey with the NHL’s Benn brothers, Jordie and Jamie, and “spent hours on the tennis courts” with them on the Smiths’ property.

Even veteran com-mentator Don Cherry, who partnered with CBC’s Ron McLean for an on-ice Coach’s Cor-ner instalment, made reference to the Benns, as well as Victoria’s Courtnall brothers – NHLers from a previ-ous generation – in his comments.

Another Central Saa-nich resident, James McNulty, said of the proceedings that it was good for nomina-tor Jason Fletcher and North Saanich’s Hock-eyville campaign orga-nizing committee to “get a break and get to enjoy this.”

“The parking lot party yesterday (Sept. 20 at Panorama) was great, too. This is a once in a lifetime thing for the kids.”

Longtime Sidney resi-dent Tracey Miller, a diehard Calgary hockey fan, was forbidden by her son, Kole – he’s a Canucks fan and Penin-sula News Review car-rier – from wearing her Flames jersey and so bought an Eagles shirt for the occasion.

Miller admitted she wasn’t thrilled with the idea of another com-munity hosting the big game, but was glad Panorama would be receiving the $100,000 Hockeyville first prize

for arena upgrades. She worked in the conces-sion at the arena after high school.

“I was saying to my son on the way over, ‘did you ever think we’d be driving to a Canucks games?’” she said.

Asked for his take on the game midway through, Kole said it was was exciting to be at his first NHL game. The only thing that would make it better, he said, would be “if Vancouver scored.”

Those fans got their wish 1:38 into overtime, when Adam Cracknell, a former Island Junior B player with the Saa-nich Braves scored the winner.

Hockeyville heaven for fans from Saanich Peninsula

Jim ZeebenNews staff

Staff from the Panorama Recre-ation Centre were busy this week, cleaning up after playing host to Kraft Hockeyville, which included a pre-season game between the Van-couver Canucks and San Jose Sharks.

North Saanich earned the right to host the game by winning the Kraft

Hockeyville challenge. Now the focus shifts to public consultations on how to spend the $100,000 that comes with earning the honour. The money has been deposited with the Capital Regional District, for use fixing up Panorama rec centre.

The final figure will actually be larger as sales of Hockeyville mer-chandise are ongoing and will con-tribute to the fund.

While world events swirl around us, it is wonderful to feel the sense of community that has contributed to the success of the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation. We are thrilled to be celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation with events and (thanks to our donors) some imaginative fundraising.Along with this landmark anniversary, we will celebrate a � nancial one this year. During our 30th anniversary, we will reach $40 million raised from the remarkable and generous people of the Saanich Peninsula. In the last � scal year alone, Foundation revenues surpassed $4.3 million.Board and sta� alike work to ensure that every dollar counts, so I am pleased to tell you that, last � scal year, our total expenses accounted for less than 12% of revenues. What have we done with the more than $2 million invested in our hospital? Here are some highlights:Planning is ongoing for the new Sterilization Unit, as well as major renovations to the central working core of our Acute Care Unit. � ese projects, which involve both construction and renovations, will be signi� cant contributions to modernizing our hospital.

� anks to the vision of two of our donors, planning is almost complete for a sunroom in the Palliative Care Unit. � is will allow patients to experience our pastoral environment, no matter the weather. � anks to support from the Spencer Fund at the Victoria Foundation, mattresses and many small but important pieces of equipment were purchased.After an intensive search for the best new equipment, our new CT Scanner is about to be purchased. We look forward to it being on-site in early 2016.We’re proud of these amazing achievements and hope you are too. After all, it’s our hospital.Sincere best wishes,

Gordon BennP.S. Once again this year, we will be hosting a “virtual” campaign launch. Watch for it on Facebook and our website, www.sphf.ca.

On April 30, 2015, a long-time donor to the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation challenged the community to match a pledge of $900,000 to this year’s campaign to design and construct a new, state-of-the-art Sterilization Department in the Saanich Peninsula Hospital (the third and � nal phase of the hospital’s Operating Rooms upgrades). With this pledge, the campaign is now less than $300,000 from its goal of $3 million. Our anonymous donor has made the pledge in memory of a well-known philanthropist, David Freeze. During his lifetime, Mr. Freeze contributed generously to many worthy causes, both here and in Calgary, Alberta. � ough he wished to remain anonymous at the time, Mr. Freeze contributed more than $1,000,000 to support the Saanich Peninsula Hospital. Perhaps his

most memorable gift challenged the peninsula community to match his $500,000 contribution to the � rst campaign to purchase a new CT Scanner at SPH, back in 2006. “� is was a pioneering contribution”, says Foundation President Gordon Benn. “� anks to Mr. Freeze’s bold invitation to the community, the Foundation raised the entire amount needed to purchase that � rst new CT Scanner in less than three months – a new record for SPHF at the time.” � e donor has said that the Saanich Peninsula Hospital is “a wonderful community resource”. � e donor is certain that the residents of the Saanich Peninsula will rise to this new challenge with the same generosity as was demonstrated after Mr. Freeze’s challenge. � e Foundation has 8 months remaining to raise matching gifts.

On Sunday May 3rd, over 50 cyclists took to their wheels to commemorate the life of Denis Muloin, long-time manager of Russ Hays Bicycle Shop in Sidney. Denis spent his � nal days surrounded by family and friends in the Saanich Peninsula Hospital’s Palliative Care Unit. Russ Hays’ owner, Mike Clermont was inspired to organize what he hopes will be an annual cycling event to acknowledge the wonderful role that SPH’s Palliative Care program plays in this community. Over $5,000 was raised for the SPH Foundation.On June 5th, the Swiftsure Big Band hosted a fundraising concert at the Mary Winspear Centre. It was a sold-out show, organized by bandmember Jim Kingham and long-time friend Frank Garnett, which raised over $10,000 for the SPH Foundation.Holmes Realty of Sidney chose SPH Foundation for their annual

charity donation. In May, Michele Holmes, the sta� and realtors of this local company presented a cheque for $10,000 to SPH Foundation President Gordon Benn. � e donation will be put towards the Sterilization Unit Campaign.On August 7th & 18th the Victoria Radio-Controlled Air Modelers Society presented their annual “Victoria’s Largest Little Airshow”. After, a donation was made to SPHF for $14,000. On August 15th, the Vancouver Island Motor Gathering was presented by German Auto Import Network at the Viscount Aero Centre in Sidney. � is spectacular car show was not only a highlight of the summer but also brought the Foundation almost $40,000.00 closer to the goal of $3 million for a new sterilization unit for our operating rooms!

FRANKFURT, Germany – The Frankfurt international auto show covers an area roughly the same size as a small European country.At least my feet figured that to be true after covering most of the premier Euro show’s 23 hectares. By the end of the day, the hybrid powered shuttles that I had pooh-poohed earlier in the day as transport for the lazy looked a mighty attractive method of returning to the main gate.The show is a feast for the automotive senses with every segment represented from tiny micro cars to oversized, grossly modified and, frankly, oddified BMW X5s.Ten years ago, the big Euro shows were just an opportunity to gaze longingly at makes and models we would never get to drive back home. Now it’s a global marketplace and manufacturers are competing with world cars modified only slightly for each country.And what the likes of Audi, VW, BMW are parading here will be coming to your neighbourhood showroom sooner rather than later.Particularly interesting this year is the Audi bombardment of alternative energy fuelled cars. Significant because the German manufacturer has never been one to rush into following the latest fad or fashion. Its unveiling of its e-tron Quattro electric concept means it’s come up with solid, performance oriented machines that will not disappoint. The debut offers a foretaste of a production car set for the model year 2018. A single charge will haul a car load for up to 500 kilometres, courtesy of the all-wheel quattro drive, which features a front-mounted and two rear-mounted motors.Sharing the platform are some not too shabby hybrids! – The Q7 e-tron 3.0 TDI quattro plug-in hybrid promise an

all-electric range of with up to 56 km. The Audi A4 g-tron is expected to consume less than four kilograms of natural gas per 100 km driven. Doubt that one will sail our way despite the excesses of natural gas we have in our corner of the world.Sneak peeks of the A4 range are there to see but more about that popular line soon as Driveway is heading to Venice to spend some time at the wheel. VW group stablemate, Porsche is also going electric this year with its four-seat Mission E concept. It also boasts a 500-kilometre range and 600 horsepower performance. Don’t hold your breath for its arrival.It used to be that Asian manufacturers soft pedalled the Euro shows but not anymore. Nissan is dazzling the crowds with its oddly named electric powered Gripz 2+2 Crossover concept. Its design is inspired by classic desert rally cars and racing bicycles.Kia from Korea is showing its new Sportage and promises it will go on sale early next year. The Sportage back story demonstrates how serious the manufacturer is about producing sport utility vehicles that have backwoods performance capabilities.The fourth-generation vehicle is almost at the end of a worldwide development program, which has seen test vehicles subjected to numerous durability and reliability tests, equivalent to a cumulative distance of more than 5.5 million kilometres, as Kia pointed out recently, that’s “approximately 137 circulations of the Earth around the equator, and a far greater distance than many motorists will cover in a lifetime of driving.”The little company that could is reminding us why Mazda deserves to be among the big boys, unveiling its Koeru crossover SUV concept.Which brings me back to another Volkswagen Group offering from VW itself. The all-new Tiguan was announced with great fanfare at last week’s media preview. Take a look at the picture then stretch your imagination. No, I mean stretch it in your imagination because we are apparently only getting an extended version of the utility vehicle. And it’s unlikely to arrive for at least another [email protected]

ClarificationKay Stewart and Chris Bullock, authors of

mystery novels, are reading at the Sidney and Peninsula Literary Festival next Saturday, Oct. 3 at the Pier Hotel.

They’ll also be reading on the Friday eve-ning, Oct. 2 at the Literary Festival’s Opening Celebration.

Carlie ConnollyNews Staff

For the month of October, Donna K. Wil-liams will be the Sidney Pier Hotel’s Artist in Residence.

She’ll be available at the hotel at various time throughout the day and will be display-ing her acrylic abstract work to the community.

Samples of her paint-ings will be on display and for sale, ranging in price and size.

There will also be blank journals with covers of copies of her original paintings for those who can’t afford the full painting. All are abstract pieces, work-ing with colour and tex-ture.

She has titled her exhibit “Memories, Dreams and Reflec-tion,” because she

says “when you are an abstract artist you’re point of reference isn’t a building or a seascape but all the things that surround you visually impact how you feel and how you react.”

When working with paint, colour and tex-tures, she says that the titles of her paint-ings could be some-thing like ‘Sunny Day at the Beach’ and people could visually identify that it’s at the beach.

She began her jour-ney in artwork with watercolour then changed to oil and was doing impressionistic landscape.

When she moved to Victoria 17 years ago, she took a class in abstraction, and has been doing that for 10 years now.

New artist in residence for October

Her artwork will be on display and avail-able for purchase at the Sidney Pier Hotel.

“There’s never an end to the kind of things you can do with acryl-ics and acrylic medi-ums. It’s just constant discovery so it’s always exciting,” she said.

When it comes to what inspires her in her artwork, she says it just comes from within and that it could be a meta-phor for a happy time or trip.

It also just happens to be something she truly enjoys doing.

“It just brings me joy and it’s a connection, it’s a way of reacting to

where I am in life, it’s just a joyful process.”

William’s will be at the Pier Hotel at vari-ous points every day throughout the week,

She is also a board member of the Arts Council and is on the fall studio tour as well as being a part of the upcoming ArtSea Festi-val.

While political parties on the cam-paign trail argue over whether, in the first six months of 2015, Canada has been in a technical recession, real estate markets, with few exceptions, continue to deliver both sales volume and value increases – a reaction hardly consis-tent with a recession.

In the 12 months to July 31, in only three provinces have real estate prices dropped – Alberta (-1.7%), Nova Scotia (-3.1%), and Newfoundland (-6.7%). Saskatchewan has remained essentially flat at 0.2%. Clearly, a relationship emerges. Those provinces most directly affected by the dramatic drop in oil prices have seen their real estate sector stum-ble, in line with their economies. In all other provinces, prices have maintained an upward trajectory, ranging from a modest 0.9%

in Quebec, to a strong 8.8% in Ontario, and a torrid 11% in B.C.

August statistics for Greater Vic-toria’s real estate show single-family house prices up by 6.9% in the past 12 months, unit sales up by 22%, and active listings down by 15%. With a cur-rent monthly

listings/sales absorp-tion rate of 20%, our local market remains a solid sellers’ market.

Both nationally and locally, banks, and more so mortgage brokers, advertise five-year fixed-rate mort-gages at new record-lows of 2.49%. Such low rates provide a foundation for contin-ued momentum in the market, particularly for the critically-important first-time buyer. This low-interest-rate trend is likely to sustain growth in most Cana-dian real estate mar-kets for some time.

Those provinces not heavily reliant on

oil prices continue to enjoy solid economic growth. This in turn translates into strong real estate markets. Most provinces should see their GDP continue to climb. Propelled by our 75-cent dollar, which has followed oil’s downward price trajectory, our tour-ism, manufacturing, and non-commodity exports should accel-erate.

We tend to see our strong real estate prices as a boon pri-marily to the home sellers. In reality, the greatest beneficiary is our provincial govern-ment. In British Colum-bia every home buyer “enjoys” the highest Property Transfer Tax in Canada – 1% on the first $200,000 of value; 2% on any value over $200,000. In B.C. alone, the government cur-rently receives over $1 billion annually from this tax. Since its implementation in 1987 by Bill Vander Zalm’s Social Credit Govern-ment, this tax has cost B.C. taxpayers some $15 billion.

The message from this is a healthy real

estate market is a sign of economic growth, and vice versa. When the real estate sector is active and growing, it supports among others, construction, renovation and service sectors - and even pro-vincial budgets.

How long can Cana-da’s and our local real estate sector continue to prosper? No one can predict this with certainty. However, if GDP provincially and nationally continues to grow, and interest rates remain low, the healthy performance should continue. Let us however, never lose sight of reality. Long-term, it is prudent to think of owning a home as primarily a lifestyle choice, rather than an investment. After all, even if we sell in a high market, we usually end up re-purchasing in the same market.

We’re working with FortisBC to help you save energy.We’re working with FortisBC to help you save energy.

When you’ve lived in the same house for many years, you know it inside and out, and so you recognize when it’s time to move forward with renovations.

Perhaps you’re done with a home that’s too hot in the summer or too cold in the winter and you are looking for added comfort. Whatever the case, BC Hydro wants to help and is offering various incentives to make it worth your while and a little easier on your bottom line.

Andrew Swan and his wife had been living in their 2-bedroom, 850 square foot Oak Bay bungalow for 17 years when they decided to renovate. Despite its smaller size, the Hydro bills for their older electrically heated home were close to $150 per month, so the Swan’s were happy to learn that they qualifi ed for the Home Energy Rebate Offer.

The Home Energy Rebate Offer is a partnership program between BC Hydro and Fortisbc. This program offers a variety of incentives for home energy renovations such as insulation upgrades, draftproofi ng, ventilation, space heating, water heating, and a bonus for installing three upgrades.

The Swans wisely decided to plan their renovations with the unbiased advice of a Certifi ed Energy Advisor.

It was recommended that they change their

electric baseboard heaters to a more effi cient heat pump, which could qualify for an $800 rebate.

“The paper work to apply for rebates was done by our energy advisors. They had to retest the house effi ciency after the upgrades. Their bill for advising, testing and rebate work was very reasonable.”

The Swans had more fi breglass insulation blown into their attic and foam insulation installed into

the half of their house walls which were not previously insulated. Finally they had a ductless heat pump installed in their living room, which now heats (and could also cool) most of the house, so that the baseboards come on rarely or not at all.

“We had been aware that there were rebates for energy effi ciency upgrades prior to our renovations but did not realize how generous they could be. It has made the costs of renovation a ‘no brainer’ in that our savings on electricity will pay off the costs in only three or four years,” says Andrew. “We think of ourselves as green consumers who want to minimize our energy footprint in the world for the sake of future generations. So, it was exciting to fi nd a way to make a signifi cant reduction in our heating needs. More of a surprise to us was how much more cozy the house felt after the

draftproofi ng and insulation.”In addition to receiving a home renovation rebate,

which cut the cost of their renovation almost in half; the Swans are no longer racking up high energy bills.

“Our Hydro bills for the nine months since the renovations are less than half of the previous - currently around $60 monthly,” says Andrew.

If you’re interested in renovating like the Swan’s, but are worried about costs or fi nding the capital, BC Hydro is working with Vancity to help eligible customers take action with affordable fi nancing options, including an additional $200 rebate to homeowners completing energy effi ciency renovations until November 30, 2015.

Also, the Vancity Home Energy™ Loan offers great fl exibility at a great rate. One loan keeps it simple, if you’re doing multiple home energy effi ciency upgrades and are using different contractors for various energy effi ciency technologies, you can get a single loan for the whole project opposed to arranging fi nancing with each contractor.

There are plenty of cost-saving rebates available on home energy upgrades so you can act on renovations projects now. Start enjoying increased comfort, quality of life, aesthetics and home value, all while seeing long-term savings on your home electricity bill.

Simple steps to save you money on renovations



Education ministry staff have searched in vain since this summer to locate a backup hard drive containing B.C. and Yukon student information from 1986 to 2009.

The computer memory disk contains 3.4 million public school education records, including names, postal codes, grades and personal education num-bers.

Citizens’ Services Minister Amrik Virk said Tues-day there is no evidence the information has been taken or misused. After a lengthy physical search of a secure warehouse in Victoria turned up noth-ing, ministry electronic records continue to be

searched to see if the hard drive was moved or destroyed.

Virk said there were two unencrypted backup hard drives created in 2011, contrary to ministry information and privacy rules. Information and Pri-vacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham has been notified and is investigating.

“There’s no doubt that a mistake was made, first in how the hard drive was cre-ated, and secondly, how it was stored,” Virk said. “This should not have happened.”

The drive also more than 9,000 personal education numbers for children in gov-ernment care, connected to information such as health and behaviour issues. This sensitive personal informa-tion could be connected to names by comparing the personal education numbers to names through the larger data file.

NDP education critic Rob Fleming said Virk is coming forward after several weeks because he doesn’t believe the missing hard drive will be found.

“For government to admit this has happened is not good enough,” Fleming said. “They have to tell us how and why it happened, and the minister specifically has to say why he failed to do his job.”

The government has set up a phone contact centre through Service BC for specific inquiries about the data breach. The centre is open 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday, and callers should be prepared to say when they attended public or post-secondary schools in B.C.

In Victoria, call 250-387-6121. In Metro Vancou-ver, 604-660-2421. Elsewhere in B.C. call 1-800-663-7867.

A rundown navy, aging fighter jets and closing of dedicated Veterans’ Affairs offices are playing a central role in the campaign for the Oct. 19 federal election.

The Conservative government has been in a running battle with the Public Ser-vice Alliance of Canada over the closure of nine regional Veterans Affairs offices, includ-ing those in Prince George and Kelowna. The union ran TV ads with veterans describ-ing difficulty getting mental and physical health support.

Veterans’ Affairs Minister Erin O’Toole wrote to PSAC national president Robyn Ben-son in July, calling the ads “intentionally mis-leading.” He said the government is opening 27 dedicated mental health clinics, training staff on veterans pro-grams in integrated Service Canada offices, and continuing to spend more on support for veterans as their numbers decline.

NDP leader Thomas Mulcair promises to reopen the nine dedi-cated offices, and add $454 million over four years to Veterans Affairs. The NDP says the money would go to improving long-term care, survivor pen-sions, mental health treatment and expan-sion of the program to support veterans in their homes.

Liberal leader Jus-tin Trudeau has announced that if he becomes prime minis-ter, he will pull Canada out of the development of the U.S.-led F-35 fighter project, which has been plagued by

delays and cost over-runs. Trudeau said the F-35’s stealth, first-strike abilities are not what Canada needs, and other fighters would serve Canada’s purposes at lower cost.

Conservative leader Stephen Harper noted it was the previous Lib-eral government that committed Canada to join Australia, Britain and other countries in supporting the F-35,

and withdrawing would be a severe blow to the country’s aerospace industry.

With six of the Royal Canadian Airforce’s 30-year-old CF-18 fighter-bombers taking part in a U.S.-led mis-sion against Islamic State targets in Iraq and Syria, the Liberals and NDP are calling for Can-ada to focus on human-itarian relief instead of combat.

The Royal Canadian Navy, another tradi-tional name restored by the Conservatives, is awaiting new ships from the Conserva-tives’ $26 billion ship-building program, Can-ada’s largest ever. Some contracts have been awarded to Seaspan, B.C.’s largest shipyard, which is also build-ing new research ves-sels for Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

HMCS Protecteur, the navy’s only West Coast supply ship, was decommissioned after a 2014 fire off Hawaii. Protecteur was built in Halifax 46 years ago, and is being temporar-ily replaced by a former U.S. Navy ship on loan from Chile.

Current project involves lot formerly home to last cottage on Roberts BayJim ZeebenNews staff

The sun will still rise over Mt. Baker, and the otters and seals will continue to patrol the shoreline.

But it will be a new gen-eration of homeowners gaz-ing out upon the spectacular view of Roberts Bay.

Work is already underway at 10301 Resthaven Dr. on replacing the last cottage on the bay (PNR, Sept. 4).

The former home was a tiny building that showed its age. It had, after all, been home to various branches of the Mackay family for almost a century.

“It was always our dream to build a duplex or two dwell-ings (on the land) so we could have both sides of the fam-ily living there,” said Mur-ray Mackay, whose parents, Helen and Stewart, were the last occupants of the cottage. They have now moved into a complex for people 55 and over.

The family actually did the groundwork to have the property properly zoned so it could be subdivided. But life marches on and the decision was made that it would be better for the family to pass along the dream to someone else.

The property was sold to Scott Davies, of Cube Project Management Ltd., who was

respectfully thrilled to be able to acquire the lot.

Terms of the sale were not announced but Mackay said it “helped the family” and it means that lot can be maintained in a condition it deserves.

The view is spectacular, looking straight out over the bay at Mt. Baker in the east. Mackay called the area a sanctuary for people and for marine wildlife, which are common sight along the shoreline.

For Davies and his com-pany, the purchase of a water-front property was a dream.

The Victoria resident recently completed a project in Sidney and said the expe-rience was so positive he jumped at the chance to do more work in the area.

“I like Sidney,” he said. “It’s a great town to work with. This is where I want to do business, it’s a great place to be.”

His last project -- Village Close at 2340 Oakville Ave. -- was a 10-month turnaround, which is fast in the eyes of developers. The six boutique homes sold out quickly.

“I came out here last December and bought a little townhouse property,” Davies said. “We were done and fully sold out by September of ‘15.”

Davies said that proved to him that homebuyers in Sid-ney are hungry for a “differ-ent product,” than the tra-ditional style of architecture seen throughout the area.

“Everything out here is sort of Arts and Crafts,” he said. “We’re going a little out of the box in terms of Sidney’s archi-tecture.”

Sidney good place to do business, developer says

for 15 years but says his whole life has been spent around construction sites as his dad is an architect.

For the Roberts Bay homes, Davies chose a

modernist approach to building.

The approach worked with Village Close and Davies is confident it will com-plement the natural appeal of Roberts Bay. He’s planning to build a single-family home and a side-by-side duplex.

The buildings will be

high end, ultra modern and include an elevator, gourmet kitchen and huge patios. “I like to do things properly and this location doesn’t merit entry level stuff.”

The single family home will be approxi-mately 3,000 square-feet with a double garage. The duplex

units will each be 2,800 sq.-ft. with single garages. Construction is expected to start on Oct. 1 and be com-pleted by next March.

“I didn’t realize how hot the market is out here,” Davies said. “I always thought of Sid-ney as sleepy hollow, it’s not.”
