Seven decades of wedded humour Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

Fridays are busy in the Drysdale household. Ted heads for orchestra practice in the morning and he and wife Nora flit out for carpet bowling in the afternoon. The rest of the week is filled with Monterey Recreation Centre visits when the weather is cool or strolls on Willows Beach at this time of year. The Oak Bay nonagenarians like to keep busy and as they approach 71 years of marriage, they still enjoy doing most

everything together. “We just always enjoyed each other’s company, right from the start,” says Nora. Raised in Victoria, Ted started his military service with the Canadian Scottish Regiment here and when war started, wound up with the 31st Field Company in Ontario. Now 90 years old, Nora first met Ted, 92, at St. Alban’s Anglican Church in Ottawa, Ontario where the ladies played and sang for the military men. They dated for a couple of years and when he was sent to Petawawa she followed, moving to nearby Pembroke.

They spent the weekends together until they wed Aug. 6, 1943, not long before Ted was shipped overseas to Nijmegen in the Netherlands. “He got sick over there and he came home on a stretcher,” Nora recalls, perched on the sofa in the sunroom of their bright home. By 1945, the military sent Ted back where he came from and the Drysdales settled on the Island, building a home on Carrick Street – “the Victoria side” Ted notes – on a veterans lot. They’ve been in their Oak Bay home beyond four decades now.

Back then the roads were always muddy with a bump outside their home so big that a bus thumping over it would crack the plaster, Nora says with mirth. “It’s been greatly improved, the roads in Oak Bay,” Ted adds. They had two daughters close in age then a son 13 years later, Nora says, the memory prompting her to grab a photo book created to celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary last August.

OCP hearing date set Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

Oak Bay set its public hearing for its draft official community plan for Sept. 9. Council passed the first two readings and sent the document off to agencies such as the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations, Capital Regional District, neighbouring municipalities and the provincial and federal governments for review.

Workshops and open houses started in May 2013 and the last public session was held late last month for the OCP review, led by an advisory committee. “I feel very much more connected to the community in very different ways and on different levels as a result of their process,” said Coun. Pam Copley, who chaired the committee. A handful of people took advantage of public participation time Monday night

to address concerns – both for and opposed to – population growth and infill housing addressed in the draft OCP. “We know our community is changing and will continue to change,” said Mayor Nils Jensen. “It is important to remember this is a living document … this isn’t written in stone.” Residents will again have a say at the public hearing Sept. 9 at Monterey recreation centre, 1442 Monterey Ave. at 6 p.m. cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

A fire in a bedroom of an Oak Bay home pulled firefighters from their beds early Wednesday morning – and one lucky resident. Oak Bay Fire was called to the home in the 2300 bock of Eastdowne Road around 12:30 a.m. on June 25.

“Upon arrival flames were showing through the upper dorm window,” said deputy chief Dave Cockle. “Initial actions by the fire department were to knock that flame down.” When the smoke was too thick for deputy chief Tom Pearse to initially enter the lower level to check for occupants, Lt. Gord Marshall donned full gear to wake a resident in the home. Two other occupants were already out of the house. “Determination is that it’s accidental,” Cockle said. “The

damage is going to be around the $100,000 mark.” The fire was contained to the upper hallway and upper bedroom where the blaze started. Victoria and Saanich fire departments also attended. No injuries were reported by firefighters or the residents who were checked over and released by B.C. Ambulance paramedics. “It was a very successful save on the part of the fire department,” said Cockle. cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

Entrepreneurial advice ■ Building a company to promote product across North America within two years, you rely on some serious advice. Like any good entrepreneur, Dionne Laslo-Baker sought out advice from top local business people. “I really just listened to people and took advice,” she says. “You can surround yourself with great, knowledgeable, people and admit when you need help.”

Oak Bay family takes tea sensation to the world DeeBees Organics originates in local kitchen, plant Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

In an Oak Bay kitchen “tasteless ice cubes” of frozen tea gave way, with much sweat equity, to tasty organic frozen tea treats. The tea creation came to fruition after a moment in the Baker family kitchen just over two years ago. Brothers David, then 8, made tea while Josh, then 10, made traditional frozen pops. A conversation ensued that left mom, Dr. Dionne Laslo-Baker, wondering ‘what if?’ David, hadn’t eaten refined sugar since he was three, Laslo-Baker explains, preferring and thriving on a “from the earth” diet.

We should heed UN’s warming warning The United Nations report on Global Warming warns of the huge effects the world’s ever-increasing human population will have on every man, woman and child. The effects are pretty daunting to hear. The results are already being felt worldwide. We are presently spared the magnitude Eventually, no one eventual of the problem we, or our children will face. will be spared As island people climate change by choice, we are very dependent upon others to grow and transport foodstuffs to us. The U.S., and in particular California, have provided an abundance of crops to sustain us. We have, until now, taken this for granted. Environmental effects, more recently, have interfered with their ability to irrigate and grow the food we need. Transportation to this island has also more recently been a factor. This demonstrates how vulnerable we really are on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. So, what can we do about all this? England has declared it will attempt to be the greenest country in Europe. Resources of plants and trees are being made available to every citizen there. Infrastructure put in place will encourage and help its people achieve this. The two very small islands of Jersey and Guernsey already produce an abundance of food for the British market. As long as we don’t entirely cover our green spaces with housing, we have an abundance of arable land surrounding us, as well as enough yard space for every home owner to sustain a goodly amount of their needs. This can be a challenge to young folk and a diversion from inside isolation and boredom. They, more than we older relatives, are going to need it as they struggle to survive in a harsh world. We have been warned. Doug Miller Oak Bay

Does Canada Day give you a sense of national pride? Answer online at www.vicnews.com

Last Week

we asked you:

then we’ll wear the label proudly. We are radically Canadian! That means building on the progress we’ve made over the years to create a society based on compassion, equity and respect for the people and places we know and love. Canada has long been known as a country that gets it right, that treats its citizens well, cares for the land that gives us so much and plays a constructive role on the world stage. But now we’re lagging in many areas, our hard-earned reputation suffering. We’re no longer a leader in protecting the conditions that make Canada one of the best places on Earth for citizens and visitors alike. Enshrining the right to a healthy environment in the Constitution’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms would help get Canada back on track. More than 110 countries have constitutional environmental rights. But not Canada. It’s not just about protecting birds, bees and trees; it’s about social justice and ensuring all citizens have the right to the conditions necessary for healthy, fruitful lives. Do you treasure our spectacular natural landscapes, clean water and air and abundant natural resources? Do you value our commitment to fairness, enlightened social programs, education and public health? Do you believe we should do all we can to protect the things that make this country great? Now is a good time to reflect on these questions, on where we are as a nation and where we want to be. Happy Canada Day! - With Ian Hanington

Preschoolers get a taste of nature Recreation Oak Bay launches its first outdoor preschool Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

A dozen preschoolers will return home extra dirty this fall. The kids will have hands-on outdoor education as the Natural Wonders Preschool brings the licensed program, where children explore and learn in the natural world, to Oak Bay. “It just seems to be the way things are going. There seems to be a push for more outdoors and hands-on education,” said Erin Stockill, acting community recreation programmer for

licensed care at Recreation Oak Bay. “I think it’s because we live in such a great community and great climate for it.” An outdoor preschool also fills a niche the community was looking to fill, she said. The program will run at Henderson recreation centre on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 to 11 a.m. starting in September and ending in June for $159 a month. “At this point for us, it depends on numbers, but we’re looking to have about 12 kids and two staff. We have a

maximum of 13, but we could run with less kids. As long as we can get kids out into nature we’re happy,” Stockill said. “We look forward to getting it launched and hope to have it forever.” The program is designed for kids aged three and older and is situated outdoors for the majority of each day, while children let nature be their guide. For registration information go to recreation.oakbay.ca or call Stockill at 250-370-7207 or Henderson reception at 250-370-7200. cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

Douglas treaties shared with local First Nations Museum offers replicas of historic 1850s land deal documents to Esquimalt and Songhees Nations Daniel Palmer News staff

Esquimalt and Songhees Nations are receiving official replicas of the Douglas Treaties as the Royal B.C. Museum awaits word on the documents’ world heritage status from UNESCO. The 1850s land deal documents are being made more accessible after “entire generations” of First Nations have gone without seeing the once-secretive treaties, said Jack Lohman, CEO of Royal BC Museum. “It’s such an important part of the heritage of First Nations, and it’s part of our commitment to share our treasures with everybody,” Lohman said. “And this way, both nations have a part of their own heritage.” The Douglas treaties were signed in the 1850s and remained the only written agreements with aboriginal people in B.C. until the Nisga’a treaty in 2000. The 14 land title documents were held up by the Supreme Court of Canada as a basis to protect aboriginal

rights, and they continue to fuel First Nations lawsuits and land settlements with the province and Canada. Songhees Chief Ron Sam said he recognizes the treaties are part of his nation’s history, and he felt it was important to stand with the museum in acknowledging their significance. “A lot of people forget we did sign treaties here,” Sam said. “There is some back and forth over whether we honour them or want to forget about them. We’re in court right now battling over one of our Douglas treaties, but it is important for us to acknowledge them.” The Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations filed separate lawsuits covering 376 acres in Saanich’s Cadboro Bay in 2012, a matter still before the courts. The latest announcement coincides with UNESCO’s annual general meeting, held in Victoria for the first time last week. UNESCO officials met with Sam and Esquimalt Chief Andy Thomas, and the original Douglas Treaties were brought from the B.C. Archives to the

Songhees Wellness Centre during a community dinner earlier this month. “I believe that’s the first time they’ve ever left the building,” Lohman said. Sam said the community dinner provided a chance for UNESCO officials to learn about Songhees Nation traditions and aspirations with their new conference centre at 1100 Admirals Rd. Lohman said he’s still awaiting word on whether the Douglas Treaties will receive world heritage status from UNESCO’s Memory of the World committee in France. “We have such great diversity of living heritage here through First Nations living languages,” he said. “My sense is that B.C. should and must lead Canada in a new recognition of intangible cultural heritage.” dpalmer@vicnews.com

The plants in question, which had grown in a Garry oak meadow, turned out to be cow parsnip, or Heracleum maximum. It’s a native species and member of the carrot family that has mild photoreactive properties, meaning its secretions can cause minor irritation or blistering in people with more sensitive skin. Cow parsnip, although generally much smaller and featuring different physical characteristics, resembles giant hogweed. That invasive species contains a highly toxic sap on its leaves and stem hairs which can cause hypersensitivity to the sun if contacted on the skin. Both have umbrella-like clusters of white flowers at the end of long stems, but the leaves are different and hogweed can grow to five or six metres high, compare to a maximum of about two metres for cow parsnip. Rachelle McElroy is executive director with the Coastal Invasive Species Committee, which works with municipal and regional jurisdictions to combat invasive species here. She said one of their subcontractors visited the

Where learning at the landfill meets fun!

Do you know where the ‘stuff ’ you throw away goes? Over 850 residents of the Capital Regional District saw for themselves where their “away” is at last Sunday at the Open House at Hartland landfill and recycling facility. For the past several years, Hartland Happening, a semi-annual open house, has offered a behind-the-scenes look at the region’s award-winning, multipurpose facility. This year’s Hartland Happening welcomed visitors from 10:30 am until 2 pm on Sunday, June 22. Activities included a free shuttle to the event from Camosun College, guided tours, interactive exhibits, a giant sandbox, face painting and a monster machine area. Mr. Tube Steak was on hand to barbecue hot dogs and veggie dogs that were free to event guests. Cash and non-perishable food items were collected for local charities. Hartland receives garbage from across the region, processing more than 450 tonnes per day. “I’ve lived twenty minutes away from the landfill most of my life and I’ve never given much thought to where it ends up. Knowing that so much effort goes in to making it a safe and sustainable site makes me proud of living in the capital region,” explains a Saanich resident. The CRD thanks its community supporters, and all the businesses and volunteers that made this year’s event a success.

The Veterans’ Land Act of 1942 followed a Canadian tradition dating from the 17th century of settling ex-soldiers on the land. With only a small down payment, ex-servicemen could purchase land with the help of a government loan; additional funds were available for livestock and equipment. Repayment terms allowed settlers time to re-establish themselves. In 1950 the VLA began to provide loans to veterans who wished to construct their own homes. Over 140,000 ex-servicemen sought assistance before new loans were terminated in 1977.

They are Miata mates for life Despite the relatively early call time, a group of almost 100 Mazda Miata/MX-5 drivers/passengers gathers for the morning’s meeting. The weather is looking favourable even though the a.m. envelops the crowd with its chilliness. It’s not raining though. That’s a good sign. Tour organizer and former Trillium Miata Club president, Gary Svoboda, talks about the day’s journey, addresses some basic housekeeping rules, makes some jokes and engages in witty banter with a group of excited Miata enthusiasts. Everyone is ready to hit the roads of Vermont in their tiny, drop top, two-doors. Everything from first generations Miatas, to the latest and greatest rear-wheel drive roadsters line the gravel parking lot of our home base, also known as the Stowehof Inn. Stowe, VT’s claim to fame is as a ski destination. Currently, its claim to fame is the 46 Mazdas that drove in from Ontario and are congregating for their annual tour. Each May long weekend, a group of club members look forward to the event. It’s been going for over 20 years and hasn’t disappointed. The crowd gets rowdier by the minute so go-time is just around the corner. The meeting wraps up; we branch into our respective groups and fire up the engines. As honorary members for the event, my co-pilot – aka my mother

Zsuzsanna Straub – and I get behind the wheel of our MX-5. Within moments, we’re topless. The car. Not us! Seven vehicles comprise a group, including a leader and a sweeper. We’re comfortably nestled in the bosom of the pack. Our job is to enjoy ourselves, as well as give the MX-5 a little bit of room to romp free. It’s hard not to smile on the undulating roads of Vermont, which are lined with trees, houses, fields and topped off with a bovine scent! Then there is what is called “The Notch.” A mountain road where emaciated limbs of indigenous trees

look like they’re reaching out and trying to touch the cars. Boulders are scattered and the path is paved around it. The intermittent obstacles would likely be the outcome of two Greek gods having a rock fight. You would have to have superhuman strength to move them. The sinuous and slender road is a hoot to drive through especially with no one in front of you. The occasional crackling on the CB radios frequently is overpowered by instructions from the leader. Like a mother duck summoning her young, we followed in order. We stuck together and took in some breathtaking scenery of New

England. Scenery aside, what was the most interesting to breathe in was the enthusiasm and energy of the Miata owners. Liz Burns has “Miatatude” stickered across her windshield. Miata earrings dangle from her ears as she professes her love of her emerald beauty. Another owner decided to turn his conventional doors into ones that open up not out. At breakfast, lunch and dinner, they regale each other with stories of other events they’ve been on. Outbursts of laughter perk up the ears of bystanders; making them wish they were at that table reliving the memories. The camaraderie of those young and young at heart is undisputable. Regardless of background, profession, or preference in exterior colour, few vehicles in the world bring people together as strongly as Mazda’s MX-5. Liz was one of the first members of the Trillium Miata Club. She expected to join a group of Miata owners and drive with them on weekends. Liz says she “didn’t expect to make friends for 25 years” but she did. And as the Miata/MX-5 turns 25 this year, here’s to another quarter century of promote the best that life has to offer: the bond of mankind and machine, 167 horsepower at a time. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

You need not be a Formula 1 fan to enjoy this computer-generated film about the Red Bull Ring, the location for this coming weekend’s Austrian Grand Prix. It features the man from today’s Driveway cover story – four-time World Champion Sebastian Vettel and Infiniti-Red Bull Racing’s young gun Daniel Ricciardo racing around the track. Driving RB10s, Daniel and Sebastian explain the track’s unique characteristics as they dual around the 4.3

km circuit. As the Red Bull racers contend with changing weather conditions, they explain the circuit’s elevation changes, the four best overtaking opportunities, the track’s nine corners and the four high-speed stretches. In certain sections of the circuit, Sebastian’s RB10 becomes transparent, showing the intricate inner details of his 2014 racecar. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Celebrating with a Spyder French Open winner, Maria Sharapova, was driven to the glamorous Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) Pre-Wimbledon Party in the Porsche 918 Spyder – the Stuttgart marque’s fastest, most powerful production car to date, and one of the lowest-emitters of CO2 of any class of car. Fresh from his drive in the Le Mans 24 Hours race, Sharapova’s chauffeur for the night was Porsche factory ‘works’ driver, Mark Webber, complete in smart chauffeur attire. The 918 Spyder has a mid-mounted 4.6-litre V8 race engine coupled to two electric motors with lithium-ion batteries. It is a remarkable plug-in hybrid super

sports car that can reach a top speed of 344 km/h, sprint from zero to 100km/h in 2.5 seconds, and yet at 72 g/km (70 g/km with the lightweight Weissach Package) produces so little CO2 that it is exempt from the London Congestion Charge. It has a total power output of 887 hp and holds the current lap record for a production car at the famous Nürburgring race circuit of just 6 minutes 57 seconds. Despite all that performance, its plug-in hybrid technology means a low fuel consumption of 3.0 L/100kms is possible.

Carnarvon U14B dominates regular season Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

A silver finish is good enough for the Carnarvon U14B team. The girls ball team had an astounding season finishing with a 32-2 record heading into district finals last weekend at Rom Knott Park in Central Saanich. They went 2-2 on the weekend to finish second to a View Royal team with only slight disappointment. “We didn’t quite play our best ball on the weekend, fortunately two teams go through to provincials,” said coach Bill Hawkins. The year included topping the podium at a Mainland tournament that featured top teams in the province. “They had a remarkable season. The girls, some of them started as early as August of last year,” Hawkins said. “We’ve worked with the girls since they’re eight and nine years old most of them. They’re a hard working group of young athletes.” A key part of the successful season Hawkins says is the coaching staff of six. Three are young women from the community, one is a former college ball player and another is entering her senior year of university.

The Carnarvon U14B team heads for provincials July 11 to 13 in North Delta after a winning season that culminated in a second-place finish at district championships last weekend. “I think part of the success is successful athletes coming back and helping the next generation. Having young adult female coaches work with them is inspiring,” Hawkins said. “It’s community building … Those

experiences that the young women had, they remember they had similar experiences and that’s why they come back.” The girls head to provincials July 11 to 13 in North Delta. “We know we have played

with the very best teams in the province so we know we’re capable of that,” the coach said. “The expectation is we play to the best of our ability. Just play our best ball; that’s our goal.” cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

The Carnarvon Falcons head to provincials held in Ridge Meadows from Jluy 4 to 6.

Falcons soar into provincials Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

The Carnarvon Falcons are on the way to provincials The U14 girls played eight games taking the long way to the finals after an early loss in round robin play at district finals. It meant four back-toback games on knockout Sunday to finish second in the 12-team tournament. “We played games every two hours. The girls did excellent,” said coach Donny Leong. “It was one of our major team goals. At the beginning of the year we had a bit of a challenge with a lot of new players,” he added. “We had a goal to play .500 ball all year.” Heading into district championships they added a higher bar – provincials. The Falcons, who play out of Fireman’s Park in Oak Bay, boast an unusual 15-player roster, but they’ve made it work. “We have a good mix of kids. We have kids from five different schools,” he said. “We try to keep kids playing. That’s always the goal of a sport in house league.” With a smaller population pool to draw from, it’s a task to develop a talented team. “It’s rare for Oak Bay to send girls teams to the provincial championships because there’s just not that many kids to pull from,” he said. “We’ve been able to keep a core group of girls playing together for four years.” They kept a solid core, and added the new players over the years, winding up with one team bearing 15 kids and as the year went on, their confidence grew. “Every player played better,” Leong said. “We’ve built on our success slowly. Three years ago, we won the B division; last year, we won the city championship; this year it’s provincials. It’s little tiny steps every year as we get a little bit older.” Only a lack of funds to cover the unexpected cost of travel and equipment can stop them now, said Leong. The Carnarvon U14 Falcons hope to raise funds to help parents cover the costs of the trip to Ridge Meadows for the tournament July 4 to 6. “We’re trying to fundraise to cover travel, hotel, some equipment,” Leong said. “Things you worry about when you’re a house team.

Help Prevent Heart Attacks with Vitamin C and Lysine Powder W. Gifford-Jones, MD

hy is heart attack the number one killer in this country? Ninety-nine percent of doctors say it’s due to atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiologists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack. Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Two-time Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling reported twenty-five years ago it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack. Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Wellington University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens’ research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death.

I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens irrefutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent. But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years I’ve been trying to find a company that would manufacture a combination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus™ is available at health food stores and specialty pharmacies. The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop mixed with water or juice with breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day. This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. That is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors. As for me – I bet my life on vitamin C and lysine! I turned 90 this year.

Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries. Sixteen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs. Instead, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal. I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking cholesterol lowering drugs (CLD’s). I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications.

SELLER’S TIP | Talk to your agent about how they plan to market your home

Real estate agents’ skill set ever expanding Technology allows Realtors various ways to market a home Jennifer Blythe News contributor

Time was, a Realtor’s job was to identify potential homes for clients then guide them through the myriad legal details surrounding the buying and selling of property. Those roles are still there, but technology and clients’ expectations have brought changes that have reshaped the Realtor’s career. “The role of the Realtor has changed, especially in the last 10 or 15 years,” says Tim Ayres, president of the Victoria Real Estate Board. He notes that while much of the Realtor’s job had been information gathering for home shoppers, the Internet now allows people to do much of that legwork themselves. Today, a Realtor’s value is not only in how well-versed they are on the legal ins and outs of home buying and selling, but also in their marketing skills and ability to stay wellinformed about the community in which they’re selling. Examples are trends in the marketplace, demographics, schools, transportation issues, and development plans. Fortunately, Greater Victoria is small enough that Realtors can familiarize themselves quite easily with neighbourhoods from Sooke to Sidney. But Ayres suggests Realtors often find success in focusing on a particular part of the region. This diverse knowledge base is all the more important when working with clients from outside the region, such as those relocating with the military or RCMP, or retirees seeking the promise of mild winters. While the Internet has changed

Getting into the real estate market involves dedication and hard work, not unlike other professions. the Realtor’s role, it’s also dramatically changed the way they do business. Realtors selling a property should be savvy to today’s technology, using video, photography and floor plans to provide prospective buyers with a full picture of a property, for example. “An online presence is key,” Ayres says. “Make sure what you’re doing (to market a property) is what people want to see.” Homes can be viewed via iPad,

prices negotiated by text and contracts reviewed via smart phone. At the same time, there’s a lot to be said for a Realtor’s ability to connect with clients on a personal level. Patrick Skillings has been a Realtor for 30 years, and believes in the time-honoured approach of oneon-one contact with clients, and of being genuinely interested in those he meets – as people, not only the means to a potential sale, he says. While it takes work, maintaining

contact with clients in the years following a home sale or purchase also helps keep connections active and promote word-of-mouth advertising. Skillings points out, for example, that he recently worked with a client he’d helped to buy a home almost three decades earlier. “Clients like the fact that we communicate on a variety of different levels, not just about a particular piece of property,” he says. ddescoteau@vicnews.com
