Royal Victoria Yacht Club employee Bob Barton, seated, and club member and volunteer David Blair work together to refurbish Dock P, also called the Mini 12 Dock. Many volunteers are helping on the project, and are being very careful not to fall in the drink, since - in boating tradition - they will be obliged to buy a round for the crew.
Members pitch in for renovation Royal Victoria Yacht Club marina undergoes $5-million refurbishment Christopher Sun News staff
Members of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club have started one of the club’s largest undertakings in its 122 year history – a $5-million refurbishment of the marina. Vice commodore Andrew McBride said the project includes replacing 25-year-old decks and 130 of the 154 pilings, which on average, are about 50 years old, with 90 new ones. New six-foot wide docks will replace the current eight to 10-foot wide ones, to
accommodate larger boats. After completion in September, the capacity of the marina will shrink from 258 to 249 boats. “The decks were never pressure treated,” McBride said. “It was time to renew all this stuff. Boats have gotten larger over the years.” New mini-mesh decking will allow sunlight to penetrate the water, which is important to marine life growth, McBride added. That mesh and the new encased plastic floatations will also discourage otters and seals from congregating, which can create a

strong foul smell in the summer. The club has many retired members who are quite active and because most are mindful of the financial bottom line for the project, many have volunteered to do some of the construction. “It’s great to see 85-year-old guys pull up decking boards,” McBride said with a laugh. “A lot of the pieces of the puzzle are being done by our volunteers and staff.” PlEASE SEE: No waste in new dock, Page A4

On the surface, a two-per-cent increase in business might not seem earthshaking. For Greater Victoria’s tourism industry, however, that increase – representing the uptick in average hotel occupancy for 2013 over 2012 – is a sign the overall economic picture is brightening, said Tourism Victoria’s new president and “Tourism CEO, Paul Nursey. “What it tells me is that we’re globally has firmly in a recovery phase now,” been really said Nursey, who began his second week on the job Monday. been the “It’s been a challenging few start of the years stemming out of the global financial crisis and other chaleconomic lenges.

He comes to the job with a broader perspective, however, having most recently served as vice-president of strategy and corporate communications for the Canadian Tourism Commission. The position allowed him a unique vantage point on the state of the industry internationally, as well as its critical role in world economies. “Tourism globally has been really been the start of the economic recovery,” he said, noting that tourism spending growth has been five to six per cent annually.

Art club celebrates 70 years Christopher Sun News staff
The Oak Bay Art Club is celebrating its 70th year with a month-long All You Need is heART exhibition at Goward House in February. Art club president Fred Alcock said the theme is coined to acknowledge Valentine’s Day. The exhibition allows the club’s 49 members, ranging from hobbyists to professionals, to display and sell their art. “We have beginners right through to very accomplished artists in the club,” Alcock said. “Having the input of various people allows us all to sort of grow.” Members meet twice a month at Windsor Park Pavilion and guest artists are often invited to give demonstrations, giving an educational component to the club.

Originally colour and on average, sold two to three from Saanich, she first attended with a cousin who lived in Oak Bay. She said the pieces at the annual club-sponsored art shows. District of Oak Bay started the club as “When you join an organization and something for people to do during war everybody is doing things time.

Sutherland continued as
“That’s largely driven by the rapidly growing middle classes around the world.” Many of those people who are casting their eyes wider in terms of travel are looking to Canada, and to a certain degree, Victoria. Kimberley Hughes, general manager at the Delta Ocean Pointe Resort and Spa, said international and Canadian visitors make up a much larger percentage of their guests now than before the recession hit Paul Nursey in 2008-09. U.S. visitors once made up 40 per cent of stays at the hotel, but that has shrunk to between 10 and 15 per cent. However, last year saw the largest increase in business coming from the American market, she said. “The economy saw an upswing (in 2013) and consumer confidence was much stronger,” she said. “I think there’s just more trust in the economy – we can feel it in our visitors.” Overall, Ocean Pointe’s total revenue was up 15 per cent in 2013 over the previous year. It also saw a 10-per-cent increase in RevPAR, or revenue per available room, which is the industry’s standard performance metric. The latter figure mirrors those seen elsewhere in the region’s hotel business, which saw an average overall jump of $7.64 per room in 2013 from 2012. “The RevPAR number is definitely significant,” Nursey said. “That makes investment in our city more attractive. But I’m really happy with both numbers, since one feeds the other.” While he is still feeling things out on the job, Nursey, who was based in Vancouver with the CTC, is “cautiously optimistic” about 2014 for Greater Victoria’s hospitality industry. ddescoteau@vicnews.com

Beach Hotel top place to stay
RATS!!
The Oak Bay Beach Hotel has been ranked eighth in a list of the top 25 hotels in Canada for 2014. The list was compiled by TripAdvisor, an online travel website, from more than 190 guest reviews. The site also ranked the hotel number 21 in a list of the most romantic hotels in Canada. Hotel manager Michelle Le Sage praised the hotel’s staff for achieving the honour. “We want to thank our guests for responding in such an amazing way during our first year of operation,” said Le Sage. The seaside hotel reopened in the fall of 2012 after being completely rebuilt. Victoria’s Magnolia Hotel and Spa was ranked No. 23 on the list and Toronto’s Trump International Hotel and Tower made the top spot. To see the full list, go to tripadvisor.com.

The club plans to recycle as much of the old material as possible. Some dismantled wood will be reused for other projects and the club will sell or give away the rest. “Old pilings can be used as retaining walls,” McBride said. “Used pilings and telephone poles are reused that way. Disposal is not the greatest environmental option and it’s also the most expensive.” Neighbours will be relieved as the new pilings will be installed by vibration instead of being repeatedly pounded into place. The new docks will be pre-built and then either barged or floated in. Once the marina is complete, the club will rebuild the foreshore and repair the parking lot. “It’s going to be one of the nicest marinas in the Pacific Northwest once it’s done,” McBride said, adding that in 2015 the club will be rebuild its marina in Sidney. Local contractor, Salish Sea Industrial Services, a joint venture between Ralmax Contracting and the Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations, is overseeing the project. reporter@vicnews.com

Witness traumatized by shooting Christopher Sun News staff
A day of photographing nature at Oak Bay’s Uplands golf course turned into a tragic and traumatizing experience for two animal rights group representatives Lesley Fox, executive director of the Association for the Protection of Fur-Bearing Animals and Friends of Animals correspondent Dave Shishkoff were taking pictures by the golf course for an upcoming living with deer booklet in the late afternoon of Dec. 2. They took pictures of a doe with a deformed leg, and its mother eating grass before moving onto photographing trees and shrubs when they suddenly heard a crash. “It was the little doe we saw earlier … She was hit and still alive,” Shiskoff said. “It couldn’t get up and it didn’t put up much of a fuss.” Fox took off her sweater and placed it over the doe’s eyes to keep it calm as she and Shishkoff made calls to conservation officers, the RCMP and a local vet for help. Only the Oak Bay police responded and that was almost an hour later as cars continued to drive past the scene on Cadboro Bay Road just north of Lansdowne Road. “We had a car flashing its hazard lights and there were three of us huddled with this doe covered in a blanket and cars were speeding by going
70 (km/h),” Shishkoff said. “A number of people just ripped on through as though there was nothing going on there.” When Oak Bay police arrived, both Fox and Shishkoff were alarmed with how the doe was euthanized. The sweater was taken off the doe’s eyes and an officer shot her in the chest. “There was nothing we can do for it, I understand that. But why take the sweater off and shoot it in the chest?” Fox
Be deer aware
The members of DeerSafe and other animal rights organizations have gathered on several occasions over the past few weeks to raise awareness of the deer cull. They have held two such gatherings on Cadboro Bay Road, by the Uplands Golf Course, reminding drivers to slow down and be aware of deer. “That is where most of the deer have been killed (by cars),” said DeerSafe member Marion Cumming. “Vehicles speed along there all the time.” Cumming said fencing, signage and speed enforcement will help decrease the amount of motor vehicle accidents involving deer. She also said deer contraception is the best alternative to controlling the numbers.
asked. “It takes 20 minutes to die that way. You only shoot in the chest when you’re far away. If it’s close up, you kind of shoot in the middle of the forehead. They should have left the sweater on and shot through it.” Oak Bay Police Deputy Chief Kent Thom said the department is “challenged” as to what training officers have when dealing with injured animals. “We have a number of ex-RCMP who work with our department and part of the initial training they receive at depot, because they often work in rural areas, is how to put down injured animals. Where many trained for a municipal department do not have that type of training.” Thom said all Oak Bay officers will be re-educated on the most effective and practical method to take when it is determined that euthenization is the most humane action to take. Fox said it was a traumatizing experience and it took almost 90 minutes from when the doe was struck by the vehicle, to being euthanized. However, she and Shishkoff harbour no ill-will against the police as animal control is not what they are trained for. “I don’t blame them,” Fox said. “The blame goes to the province. Wildlife is under their jurisdiction and there is a shortage of conservation officers.” reporter@vicnews.com
Teacher ruling may be appealed Premier Clark weighs in on B.C. Supreme Court decision Tom Fletcher Black Press
The B.C. government is considering an appeal of a B.C. Supreme Court ruling that rejects legislation restricting teacher bargaining and assesses a penalty of $2 million plus court costs. “It doesn’t reflect government’s view of the case and the facts in the case,” Premier Christy Clark told a Kamloops radio station on Tuesday. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said he is “disappointed” by the ruling, and ministry staff will study it before deciding on a possible appeal. Fassbender disagrees with the judge’s conclusion that the government tried to provoke a strike by reintroducing provisions that had been struck down by the same judge. “What we need to do is to review the judge’s ruling in detail to see what the implications are, but clearly my message to school districts, to parents, is it’s business as usual
in our schools,” Fassbender said. The B.C. Supreme Court ruling rejected the provincial government’s effort to keep class size and special needs support off the bargaining table with teachers, and ordered the government to pay $2 million in damages to the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. In a ruling released Monday, Justice Susan Griffin said the B.C. government’s replacement legislation, passed in 2011, is as unconstitutional as the 2002 law called Bill 28 that removed class size and special needs support from union working conditions. “The court concluded that the government did not negotiate in good faith with the union after the Bill 28 decision,” Griffin wrote. “One of the problems was that the government representatives were preoccupied with another strategy. Their strategy was to put such pressure on the union that it would provoke a strike by the union. The government representatives thought this would give government the opportunity to gain political
support for imposing legislation on the union.” The ruling strikes down the portions of the new legislation that have not already expired. BCTF president Jim Iker said the ruling returns contract language that was in place in 2002, and he expects that the province’s 60 school districts will have to rehire teachers and special needs assistants to reduce class size. He said there were 1,200 education specialists affected by the 2002 legislation, including teacher-librarians and counsellors. “It’s good for us, it’s good for public education, it’s good for British Columbia and for our students,” Iker said of Monday’s ruling. NDP education critic Rob Fleming called the ruling “real blow to the B.C. Liberals’ credibility,” adding it traces back to Premier Christy Clark’s time as education minister in 2002. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

OUR VIEW
Start listening to the courts This week’s B.C. Supreme Court ruling that elements of legislation around teacher bargaining rights are still unconstitutional, and served to provoke a strike, should stand as a final warning to the B.C. Liberals. The decision, announced to great fanfare from the B.C. Teachers Federation, was the second such determination by Justice Susan Griffin. In 2011 she ruled that Bill 28 – enacted in 2002, it stripped class size and composition from the collective agreement – was unconstitutional. Part of her reasoning was that it removed the right to bargain those items in future. She gave the Liberals a year to sort things out, but the government ignored the ruling and kept those elements out of Bill 22, the 2012 legislation that expires on June 30. Education Minister Peter Fassbender, whose government has an eagle eye on costs, was no doubt nervous about the consequences of the ruling. The net result could see teachers and special needs assistants hired around the province to allow for smaller class sizes. He voiced disappointment with the ruling and claimed to have sought collaboration and co-operation in his discussions with the BCTF. That makes for a good sound bite, but government needs to focus more on the big picture, which means looking at the effect of its actions on the end users: students. No doubt it would cost more to create smaller classes, through hiring extra teachers and installing more assistants to work with students with special needs. But it would be a worthwhile investment. While we’re all for a fair bargaining structure, this is about more than teachers having slightly better working conditions. With fewer students in the room, those who need more individual help would, theoretically, have more chance to get a few minutes of their instructor’s time. Measuring that benefit to students, which is how governments must gauge such decisions, may be difficult in the short term. At the very least, returning class size and composition to contract discussions is a step toward creating a better learning environment for our children.

Singer Young’s opinion counts Re: Old man take a look at your facts (B.C. Views, Jan. 22) Tom Fletcher calls Neil Young’s tour to raise public awareness of the Alberta tarsands “an American enviro-assault on its dependent northern neighbour.” Neil Young, a Canadian, speaks with passion and first-hand knowledge about the Conservative government policy toward First Nations and the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline project, having visited the tarsands. Young expresses a viewpoint held by many Canadians. Piping bitumen from Alberta’s tarsands through British Columbia to the ocean, then shipping by supertanker to China, defies common sense. Can we assume the bitumen will even make it safely through Enbridge’s oil pipeline to the Pacific? If it does leak, it will have disastrous effects on First Nations communities, their way of life; as well as fisheries, wildlife and tourism. Joe Oliver, Harper’s Minister of Natural Resources, suggests current technologies will safeguard the environment from any potential accidents. Let’s assume the bitumen makes it through Enbridge’s pipeline without a leak all the way to its B.C. coastal destination, Kitimat. The next step is loading the bitumen onto supertankers, which then have to navigate through the channels out of Kitimat. These multi-hulled tankers are no

match for what is known as one of the most treacherous waterways on the planet, with its narrow channels and rugged edges, likely unforgiving to large ships swaying in the waves. An oil spill has the potential to cause immeasurable environmental damage along Canada’s West Coast, likely spreading out towards Vancouver Island and beyond. Assuming these supertankers make it safely to China, what are the consequences then? The world is constantly made aware of the Chinese population suffering the effects of horrendous air pollution. Is this northern pipeline project safe and healthy for our small planet and all the species which live on it? Where are the visionaries to wean us off our addiction to oil? We need leaders to lead the way toward a brighter, safer, cleaner world, not those who are bringing us back into darker ages. Paul Connolly Victoria

Police should be discretely positioned near major intersections such as Douglas Street and Saanich Road, Gorge and Tillicum roads, Gorge and Admirals roads, McKenzie Avenue and Highway 1, and Vernon Street near Saanich police headquarters. They’d catch more drunks and other dangerous drivers earlier and potentially save people’s lives. But voters behave as though they don’t want to prevent such a driver, who could have killed someone walking, bicycling or driving. They elect officials who would rather spend on glitz, pet do-gooder projects, and handouts to moochers such as TV show promoters. Voters are getting what the majority chose. With municipal elections looming they should rethink their behaviour. Keith Sketchley Saanich ••• Let your voice be heard. Send your thoughts to editor@vicnews.com

Vallis is Buddy Holly. “It doesn’t matter how long or how hard I work at Buddy Holly,” Vallis says, “there is only one Buddy Holly and I’ll SUppLIEd pHOTO never be him.” Johnny Vallis takes the stage in a Buddy Holly tribute at the Mary He comes close.

Welcom Welcome me to the driver’s seat
Durango is yet another example of what Chrysler is doing right. I enjoyed my entire time with it and so did the rest of the family. Zack Spencer

One bad Durango in a good way The 2014 Dodge Durango test truck was the perfect Christmas treat. This is the perfect kind of vehicle to have when you need to cart around extra kids and family from events like skating parties to Christmas dinners to anything else that needs getting done over the festive season. With three rows of seats and seating for six or seven passengers, the Durango is a large comfortable vehicle for any large family or a family of four that needs to take extra people to soccer or hockey practice. The Durango tester was the top of line Citadel model with a beautiful two-tine interior, large polished wheels and classy looking grille. It was not fitted with winter tires but we had no skiing plans, plus all Durango models come with AWD as standard equipment. Looks I can’t remember the last time a large SUV turned heads but this model had passersby, friends, and family all taking notice. Several neighbours commented on the stylish “racetrack” rear light bar that has migrated from the Dodge Dart and Charger sedans to this big SUV for 2014. Because of standard AWD and other packaging changes, the starting price is higher than direct competitors, the Ford Explorer or Nissan Pathfinder. Both those vehicles have a base model that starts around $30,000, the Durango, in contrast, starts at $39,995 and tops out at $51,995. This Citadel model, with options, is over $60,000. The base model comes nicely equipped with 18-inch wheels, keyless entry and

Handling point for the Durango is the amount of space it offers over three rows for 6 or 7 passengers. My youngest son loved climbing into the third row and could actually stretch out. I even tried it out and can report that adults have plenty of room in any seat. The Citadel model came equipped with a stunning two-tone interior featuring black carpets and tan seats.

I enjoyed my entire time with it and so did the rest of the family, we even gave it a name, “The Badongo” I don’t know why, but it really is one Bad Durango. If I can read the tea leaves for a moment, I would bet the EcoDiesel will be coming to the Durango, hopefully sooner rather then better.

The new Honda Accord Hybrid (an HEV) further blurs the differences between HEV and PHEV, as it uses the same two-motor powertrain used in the Accord Plug-in Hybrid (a PHEV edition sold only in selected markets). At speeds under 80 km/h the road wheels are driven by an electric motor and its Atkinson cycle gas engine is only used to generate electrical power when needed.

Hybrid vehicles have never been more affordable and certainly well worth consideration, if you’re thinking about buying a new vehicle..
the Accord Hybrid starts at $29,590, which is only $135 more. The top-line Accord Touring V6 sells for $35,400 and the Touring edition of Accord Hybrid is $36,690, just an extra $290. The price differential is almost non-existent. Choosing HEV or PHEV boils down to whether an owner can take full advantage of the plug-in electrical storage feature and normal driving commutes are within the electric-only speed and distance range of the PHEV. A low-speed urban commute allowing the PHEV to charge at home overnight and topped-up again while at work would be an ideal scenario. While the popularity of hybrid vehicles continues to grow, barring a sudden spike in the price of oil/ gasoline, a meteoric rise in the popularity of alternatives to the old reliable gas engine vehicle is unlikely. Then again, who knows what the future, or the next twist in evolution, will bring. Hybrid vehicles have never been more affordable and certainly well worth consideration, if you’re thinking about buying a new vehicle.

OVER $1,000,000 WORTH OF PREMIUM USED VEHICLES FOR SALE
Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently equated hybrid vehicles to early amphibians that hopped out of the oceans, learned to survive on land, and eventually disappeared. Ironically, if the electric vehicle (EV) evolved in a similar way, Tesla (an exclusively EV company) wouldn’t exist. Despite the early birth of production EV, hybrid (HEV) and now plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) sales continue to rise, new models continue to arrive and at least three all-new PHEVs are expected this year. An HEV functions like or similar to, a conventional gas-engine vehicle, from a driver/owner perspective. It consumes substantially less fuel, especially in an urban environment, and a regenerative braking system can greatly extend the life of brake friction pads. A PHEV increases the energy saving, money saving, and greenhouse gas reducing advantages by tapping into an electrical source and pulling relatively inexpensive electric power off the main grid. It then uses this energy to go further on electrical power alone. How far depends primarily on the capacity of its storage battery, but also on the drive system, the terrain and weather conditions and how the PHEV is driven. Lugging around a bigger battery obviously increases the weight of a PHEV and it takes up either passenger cabin or trunk cargo space. The latest lithium-ion battery packs are lighter and more compact, but the space sacrifice is something that a prospective owner must be willing to live with. Hybrid owner feedback is generally positive and the fuel savings can be substantial. That said, you generally pay a premium for this technology, but that gap is rapidly narrowing. Last year, GM slashed $5,000 off the price of its popular Chevrolet Volt, the best selling PHEV on the market. While GM promotes the Volt as an “extended range” electric vehicle, as its wheels are always driven

Settling into the driver’s seat of a Tesla Model S is like pressing a reset button on the brain. Sure, it’s a sedan with four wheels, and the brake and acceleration pedals are where they should be, but that’s about where conventional driving knowledge ends. “For a lack of a better anal-
ogy, you’re driving a giant drill,” says Lance Merkin, store manager at Tesla’s Seattle showroom. Tesla’s all-electric 85 kWh performance motor produces an adrenaline rush of 443 lb-ft of instant and unhindered torque. With no conventional motor or gears to clunk through, the Model S goes 0-100 km/h in
as little as 4.2 seconds. “And it will get a little bit under 500 kilometres to a charge,” Merkin says. “You can drive from Whistler all the way to San Diego and not pay a cent for the trip because of all the superchargers we have up and down the interstate.” continued on next page

Tesla harvests brake energy continued from previous page
Tesla extends its range by using an alternator to harvest brake energy and recharge its battery, a process that means the brake pedal gets less attention. The Model S is already steeped in industry praise as Motor Trend’s 2013 Car of the Year, TIME’s Best Invention of the Year 2012 and Consumer Reports’ highest score ever given to
a car. Thanks in part to accolades, the company doesn’t spend a dime on conventional advertising, relying instead on enthusiastic owners and roaming test-drive events to generate buzz. Key Tesla selling points are its sexy design and reliability. With an eight-year, unlimited-kilometre battery warranty and only one moving part in the motor, consumers avoid common-
The Model S runs between $62,400 (60 kWh) and $87,400 (85 kWh performance), putting it in direct competition with the BMW 5 Series and Audi A6 on price point. “Except this is much faster and handles better, doesn’t need gasoline, and you’ve got all this tech going for you,” Merkin says.

place mechanical problems associated with a conventional car as it ages. “You don’t have pistons and clutches and mufflers and hoses. It’s very simple,” Merkin says. Inside, modern luxury options include a convertible-like all-glass panoramic roof, 1795 litres of storage space (including the front hood) and a rear-facing child seat to increase seating to seven.

Cadillac ELR tech winner Green Car Journal has awarded the all-new Cadillac ELR electrified luxury coupe its 2014 Green Car Technology Award for the Regen on Demand system. The technology allows the driver to use paddle shifters on the steering wheel to temporarily regenerate energy and store it as electricity in the battery pack for later use. “Putting regenerative braking at the driver’s fingertips supports the ELR’s 340-mile total driving range while also adding a fun-to-drive
the first time.
element to the premium luxury coupe,” said Jim Vurpillat, director of emerging markets at Cadillac. Powering the ELR is a combination of pure electric drive and an efficient, range-extending 1.4L gasoline-powered electric generator. A T-shaped, 16.5 kWh lithium-ion battery pack is located along the centerline of the vehicle, between the front and rear wheels to make the most of weight distribution. keith.morgan @drivewaybc.ca

Victoria Chinese Public School students (front, from left) Melanie Liao, Britney Chow, Riann Nguyen and Carmen Gau lead the dragons with colourful ribbons as they practise their dance at the school on Fisgard Street. The students will lead the annual Chinese New Year Parade this Sunday, guiding the lions to the school’s stairs, where they will meet local dignitaries then make their way around Chinatown. Firecrackers are set off to scare the bad luck away, and the lion dancers and drummers follow, bringing prosperity and good luck to the businesses who hang lettuce (and cash) in their doorways.

Year of the horse begins today Lunar calendar is the basis of the Chinese system Chinese New Year – this year on January 31st – is one of the most joyful times on the calendar for gathering with family and friends. Get into the holiday spirit with centuries-old customs such as wearing red, recognized in Chinese culture as the luckiest colour. Be sure you don’t clean your house or cut your hair on New Year’s Day, as you’ll sweep and chop your luck away for the coming year. And married couples, don’t forget to give out red packets (with money inside) – it’s a tradition singles and kids look forward to. People born in the Year of the Horse are often characterized as high-spirited and lively,
cheerful and charming like the animal they represent. They are typically quite popular and often found at parties. The date of Chinese New Year changes each year as it is based on the lunar calendar. While the western Gregorian calendar is based on the earth’s orbit around the sun, China and most Asian countries use the lunar calendar that is based on the moon’s orbit around the earth. Chinese New Year always falls on the second new moon after the winter solstice. Other Asian countries such as Korea, Japan and Vietnam also celebrate the new year using the lunar calendar.

SPORTS NEWS IN BRIEF
Dozens of athletes to represent region
The countdown is on for the B.C. Winter Games, which happen Feb. 20 to 23 in Mission. Among the 1,344 athletes registered to test their skills in the provincewide sports competition, 51 from Greater Victoria will compete for Zone 6 (Vancouver Island-Central Coast). Their sports range from badminton and gymnastics to judo and alpine skiing. The Capital Region is also sending athletes to compete in wheelchair and Special Olympics basketball events. The B.C. Games are designed as a developmental competition for younger athletes, usually between 13 and 15, as well as coaches and officials in a wide range of sports. See bcgames.org
Bring your pink to Royals game
A sea of pink, on and off the ice, will wash over SaveOn-Foods Memorial Centre tomorrow night (Feb. 1) as the Victoria Royals host their third annual Pink in the Rink fundraiser for the B.C. Cancer Foundation. As part of its efforts to help raise money for the cause, the Western Hockey League team is offering special family ticket buys and other deals, with a portion of ticket revenues going to the foundation. In the past two years the event has raised more than $71,000. After hosting Vancouver tonight (Jan. 31, 7:05 p.m.), the Royals will take on the Giants again Saturday in the Pink in the Rink game. Start time is at 7:05 p.m.
Vikes look to extend win streaks The University of Victoria Vikes women’s basketball team (11-5) is sitting pretty with a playoff spot locked up after another weekend of back-to-back wins. The women now turn their focus to a first-place finish to the season with away games against the Calgary Dinos tonight (Jan. 31) and in Lethbridge against the Pronghorns on Saturday. Meanwhile the Vikes men (14-2) are aiming to make it six straight wins, as well, with a pair against Calgary and Lethbridge this weekend. Watch all the games live online at canadawest.tv. ddescoteau@vicnews.com

BUYING TIP | Talk to a municipal planners about heritage rules before buying a designated home
Don’t discount heritage homes in search Due dilgence critical when looking at an older home Don Descoteau News staff
Lara Hurrell fell in love with James Bay when she was staying in an older home that had been converted into apartments. So when it came time for her to look for a home to purchase, she knew what she wanted: to stay in the neighbourhood and to find a heritage home. Last fall she moved into a cozy James Bay house built around 1910. Finding a place that was not only full of character, but “move-in ready” was like a dream, she says. “The home inspector told me (this) was a real gem,” she says. “I really kind of hit the jackpot with this home.” The previous owner had done a fair amount of restoration work, from replacing the flooring with hardwood Douglas fir to returning the windows to their original leaded stained glass style and installing various updated but period-style fixtures. Despite its relatively small size, the home has three bedrooms and plenty of room for what she needs, Hurrell says. She advises people looking to purchase heritage or

Lara Hurrell sits by a stained glass window in the front room of her James Bay heritage home. The house was restored to heritage standards by its previous owner. character homes to do their research and make sure they know what they’re getting into. “The initial house I saw, I knew it needed a lot of work,” she said, adding her realtor advised her that home might eat up a lot of her savings. “I was lucky. This one was move-in ready.” In her research with the Victoria-based Hallmark Heritage Society, Hurrell, who was specifically looking for an older house, found her future home had been
moved from across the street and was raised in 1929. Dave Layzell and his wife, Sharon, recently sold Dashwood Manor, a large bed and breakfast on Cook Street at Dallas Road, after operating it for eight years. He says older homes have a special appeal and keep people rooted in the past. “When you do live in that kind of heritage home, it is very difficult to ignore the sensation of knowing there’s been several generations of people living there before
you,” he says. As Hurrell found, not all heritage homes are created the same or are in the same condition. But veteran realtor Patrick Skillings says the numerous well-kept heritage homes in the region are a big part of maintaining the visual appeal of our city from a tourism standpoint. “Victoria is the No. 1 city for heritage retention in B.C. by far,” he says, noting that New Westminster is a distant second. “The beauty of older homes is the streetscape they engender

and the image they project to the world.” Skillings is a definite fan. He is a director on the Hallmark society, the Capital Region’s watchdog for built heritage preservation, and spent eight years on the board of the Victoria Heritage Foundation, a City of Victoria program that educates owners of character homes about available restoration grants and the heritage designation process. While the market for heritage homes can be tricky to navigate – younger buyers are more likely to be interested in newer homes, he admits – there will always be buyers looking for the unique materials – like solid wood – and design features that older homes include. “Assuming the house is well-maintained, the quality of construction will win the day,” he says. Hurrell, who lived in Calgary previous to her apartment stint, put to rest the misconception that owners of designated heritage homes are handcuffed by regulations when it comes to making alterations. “A lot of people are under the impression you can’t change the interior of the house and that’s generally not the case,” she says. “Talk to the heritage foundation about what you can and cannot do. Once you do your due diligence, if you find the outside works for you, then the inside is no problem.” ddescoteau@vicnews.com
