Cattle lot threatens 100 trees Travis Paterson News staff

Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard is promising to fight any attempt to cut down more than 100 trees at a Gordon Head cattle feed lot. A staff report made available Tuesday notes several ongoing concerns around the Alberg family cattle feedlot on Mount Douglas Cross Road. The five-acre lot is being used to raise 42 head of cattle while the Albergs and the municipality remain at odds over how to proceed with rezoning the land for residential use and removing it from the Agricultural Land Reserve. The Albergs plan to add another 12 cows to the feed lot this season. In the meantime, about 100 Garry oak trees on the property are under threat after the Albergs applied for a tree removal permit from the Distrit of Saanich to make room for manure storage. About 25 trees were already cut down because the owners believed a tree cutting permit had been obtained, said Don Alberg, who co-owns the feed lot property with his siblings, Gordon Alberg and Florence Davis. “We paid for it [the permit] and we figured we had the permit and everything,” Don said.

Graffiti vandalism hotspots an ongoing issue as police target the worst offenders Travis Paterson News staff

Graffiti vandals usually start by scribbling their nameplate, or tag, with permanent marker along telephone poles, mailboxes and school walls close to home. But the longer those “bubblegum level” tags are left unchecked, the more likely they’ll progress into prolific – and costly – vandalism for Saanich or any other community, says Saanich police Const. Mark Pamminger. “Leave tags there for a month, and it might as well be a 4,000 per cent chance of increase,” says Pamminger, who leads Saanich PD’s anti-

graffiti program. In Saanich, the battle against tagging has made great strides in a short period of time, though it remains an ongoing problem. The community has come forward to help paint over and reclaim tagging “hotspots,” such as the Seaton Street pedestrian underpass, Mount Tolmie, Tillicum Bridge and areas along the Galloping Goose and Lochside trails. Tags have also been increasing in Gordon Head recently. While residents tend to associate an increase in graffiti with other types of crime, Pamminger says property crime and tagging aren’t usually connected. “Generally speaking, there is a decrease in

crime (in Saanich), but graffiti is the most visible crime in our community,” he says. “Graffiti promotes an image that an area is unsafe and it can attract other crimes. This is why it’s important to report and clean up the graffiti immediately.” A former hotspot is Tolmie Lane, which borders Victoria and Saanich on the east side of Douglas Street. Like the Seaton Street tunnel below the Trans-Canada Highway, Tolmie Lane is now largely tag-free, thanks to community initiative and a surge of clean-up work.

Masters of the Mountain High Kevin Laird Victoria News

A run with Mike Suminski is equivalent to three doses of a high-energy drink. His arms stretch wide. He lifts his nose to inhale the fresh forest air atop Mount Finlayson as a small group of runners ascend the 419metre mountain at Goldstream Provincial Park. With the enthusiasm of a young boy, Suminski asks the runners, how their day is going. He’s intently interested in the response, and as he leaves the mountain top, he jokingly reminds them to be “careful with the bears.” It’s clear Suminski loves trail running. It’s obvious in the way he runs the trail with bounds of endless energy and always ready with a laugh or quick-witted remark. Ask him of question about running form or where the trail goes, he’s only too happy to offer assistance.

Suminski, 62, has become somewhat of a legend on local trails. “There’s nobody in town who runs who hasn’t heard of Suminski’s group or run with it,” said Moe Beaulieu, a longtime running mate of Suminski. The group – loosely called Suminski Runners – has been around for more than 10 years. It started out as a clinic where runners would pay Suminski upwards of $100 to learn how to run the many wooded trails in Greater Victoria. When the Capital Regional District wanted to start charging Suminski a fee for using the park because he was running a business, he decided to drop the clinic but keep the runs going. These days, Suminski notifies the runners every week by email where the Sunday where the run will take place. The massive list, Suminski estimates, has more than 200 names. Every run is free.

Kevin Laird/Victoria News

Four members of the Suminski Runners: Moe Beaulieu, left, Rob Grant, Larry Taylor and Mike Suminski. “The social aspect, at least for me, is a big part of it,” Suminski said. “I love my running, but I really love the social aspect of it.” Most Sundays, between 20 to 30 runner comes out and run anywhere from two to six hours on the trails. It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or seasoned vet, you’re always welcomed. “A lot of people fear coming out because they feel intimidated, but I always tell them we have five or six different pace groups, so nobody is left out,” Suminski said. The Suminski Runners have certainly gone through their

trials and tribulations. Three members of the group have fought back throat cancer, and a fourth battled the disease before he joined in on the runs. Another was recent diagnosed with lymphoma. But still they run. The group has at least a dozen people who have completed a 50-kilometre ultramarathon, which as Beaulieu points out is “pretty phenomenal” considering the number of runners. Larry Taylor, 66, is one of those runners. Last year at the age of 65, he completed his first-ever 50-mile

POLICE NEWS IN BRIEF

Man robs store with knife

Saanich police are looking for a man who brandished a kitchen knife and demanded cash at a Burnside Road West convenience store Monday night. The man walked into a 7-Eleven store in the 100-block of Burnside Rd. W. and after receiving some cash, escaped on foot around 11 p.m. No one was physically harmed during the incident. The suspect is described as Caucasian, six feet tall with a skinny build. At the time of the robbery, he was wearing a darkcoloured hooded sweatshirt, a dark coloured balaclava, blue jeans and running shoes. Anyone with relevant information is asked to call Saanich police at 250-475-4321 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Fire truck thieves thwarted A man in possession of nearly $10,000 in gear stolen from a West Shore fire department truck was arrested after he led Saanich police straight to his home by communicating over the stolen radios with a friend. The fire vehicle was left in front of a mechanic’s shop after breaking down on Sunday, but rear doors were left unlocked. $9,500 in equipment, including por-

table radios, tools and an axe was stolen, said Saanich police Sgt. Steve Eassie. “One of the West Shore fire departments contacted us, and they weren’t sure why they were hearing this unauthorized communication coming through on their radio,” Eassie said. “Based on the information that was being discussed, we were able to locate and arrest the suspect and subsequently recover all the stolen property.” “For somebody to be as brazen as this and take the radio for their personal use perhaps wasn’t the wisest choice,” Eassie added. A 40-year-old man is facing charges in the incident. editor@saanichnews.com

Art gallery, Camosun talk it up with Lucie Rie Exhibition of famed potter’s work displayed at AGGV Wouldn’t a conversation with famed potter Lucie Rie be compelling? Rie, whose life story is as awe-inspiring as her work, will be celebrated at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria this month when the exhibition, Conversations with Lucie Rie, opens Friday (Oct. 17). One of the most influential potters of the 20th century, Rie achieved damehood in 1991, and is renowned for her modernist aesthetic of spare lines and textured surfaces.

CASUAL HOME IS RENOVATING!!

Her career spanned seven decades during the 20th century and culminated in an exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art from 1994 to 1995 – the year of her death. Rie was born in Vienna in 1902, and was forced to leave behind a burgeoning arts career when she fled from the Nazis in 1938 to England. In London, Rie re-established herself through her own artistic language and studio at Albion Mews. “The exhibition considers the development of Rie’s work and the impact she had on her contemporaries and subsequent generations of artists, curators, collectors, and admirers,” said Toby Lawrence, the exhibition’s curator. “It also highlights the friendships and dialogue she established through her practice as a studio potter.” The Gallery will have 19 of Rie’s pieces in its collection. All but one of the works were donated by B.C. resident Nedra Jane Paul, a teacher who purchased the pieces in 1967. Also on exhibit from the AGGV’s collection will be a pot by Hans Coper, Rie’s cherished friend and studio assistant from 1947-1958, and two works by renowned British potter Bernard Leach, with whom Rie studied. As well as including works by Rie, Coper, and Leach, the exhibition will feature two contemporary works, a collage portrait titled Dame Lucie Rie by the late Canadian artist, Stephen Andrews, as well as a video of the performance Lucie Rie vs. Grindcore by British multi-disciplinary artist Keith Harrison. The AGGV will host Harrison in Victoria, where he will present a public artist talk at Camosun College on Oct. 28, at 2:30 p.m. For more information, please go online to aggv. ca. editor@saanichnews.com

“My predictions were the graffiti would come back quickly, but we’ve had maybe just a few tags since the (organized) paint out,” says Ashley Galaude, service advisor at Rand Automotive, a major tenant that backs onto the alley. “Anything that’s shown up, we’ve been on top of it and painted over it right away.” Galaude was part of a spring clean-up that drew volunteers from Target, B.C. Hydro, Telus and other neighbours. A similar initiative took place near Tillicum Centre last month. The paint out also helped limit the laneway’s other ongoing issue of dumping, which has been less frequent since the tags were removed, Galaude says. The only way to truly stop graffiti vandalism is to remove it immediately, says Pamminger, who has been delving deep into the mind of the suburban tagger. He’s currently implementing several targeted anti-graffiti investigation techniques that he hopes will garner successful charges against a few key individuals. “The most prolific taggers keep doing it into their late teens and then their 20s,” he says. “It’s a small minority doing the great majority of the tagging we see.” On a larger scale, increased patrols by Saanich police officers and Saanich public works crews are integral after an area cleanup. The end goal is to slow and eventually stop the ongoing ritual of graffiti that exists in Saanich’s suburban areas. But catching a vandal in the act – thereby securing a definitive connection between a suspect and their tag – isn’t so easy.

Saanich police Const. Mike Pamminger. “They know it’s something they can be caught for, so they’re careful not to be caught, but they want to be seen,” Pamminger says. Many vandals who leave a trail of tags are actually skilled artists, he adds. But when those artists don’t see their tagging as a crime, it’s a problem. Other strategies, such as a designated graffiti wall, have also proved ineffective. Graffiti walls end up inviting additional tags or vandalism to the area as the perpetrators seek a fresh canvas to paint on. A typical prolific tagger will leave his or her home and then leave a trail of tags throughout a neighbourhood, and some taggers share their work on social media for bragging rights. Pamminger cautioned people not to share those posts, as it gives taggers exactly what they want. In Pamminger’s experience, parents are usually unaware of

Ebola response lacking, warns nurses union head Jeff Nagel Black Press

B.C.’s nurses are “legitimately scared” about Ebola but haven’t been adequately trained to safely treat patients and avoid risking themselves or spreading the deadly virus to the broader population, according to their union president. B.C. Nurses Union president Gayle Duteil detailed her concerns Tuesday in a letter to regional health authorities after three suspected Ebola cases turned up in Lower Mainland hospitals but were ultimately ruled out. Duteil said Fraser Health and other health regions are “not ready” to respond to the arrival of an Ebola case. A union survey found nurses in units designated to isolate and treat Ebola patients haven’t yet been sufficiently trained in using protective gear to avoid infection. Duteil is calling for immediate action to plug gaps in Ebola response planning, along with detailed simulations for front line staff. “This cannot wait until there is another suspected case in an ER within the province,” she said. “If the health system wants our members to put themselves at risk of exposure to a deadly disease we expect that every reasonable precaution be put in place on a priority basis.” Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall acknowledged more must be done and said he will co-chair a committee to review protocols and coordinate efforts by the health authorities. “Our first priority will be on establishing the processes to familiarize or refamiliarize health care workers with personal protective equipment so if

they have to use it they can use it safely and confidently,” Kendall told reporters. He said health authorities may disagree with the BCNU assessment that they are unprepared. But Kendall said the handling of each of the three recent suspect cases – two of which were hospitalized in Surrey and Vancouver before being ruled out – turned up some issues in need of improvement. He described those cases as low to medium risk. The risk from Ebola to the general public in B.C. is “vanishingly small, if not zero,” Kendall added. Although suspect patients in B.C. to date have turned out not to have Ebola, public health officials expect health workers here will be confronted with the real thing. More suspect cases are also likely since about 40 people a month arrive here from West Africa and some are likely to display flu-like symptoms – two factors that trigger isolation pending further assessment. The BCNU letter warns the union has advised members to only care for suspected Ebola patients if they’ve been provided proper equipment and training. It also urges improved procedures on cleaning and handling garbage, protocols on handling the deceased and asks what contingency plans will be in place when ERs are already full. editor@saanichnews.com

OUR VIEW

Graffiti mess your problem If there’s one caveat to take away from today’s feature story, The eye of the tagger (Page A1), it’s this: graffiti vandalism is a community problem and it needs a community fix. As Saanich police point out on their website, graffiti is an act of vandalism involving painting, drawing, scribbling, or “tagging” on any surface without the permission of the property owner. Permitted street art and other graffiti is something to be nurtured and celebrated, but only where appropriate. Initiatives like community paint outs are a great way to bring people together to tackle tagging, but they need a sustained, repetitive approach to truly discourage culprits. Esquimalt’s Together Against Graffiti (ETAG) program is a great example for Saanich to follow as the problem of tagging increases in the municipality. That township’s model brings together police, volunteers and municipal crews to act immediately after a tag is reported. ETAG has a reporting hotline that notifies volunteers about a new tag, so that the surface is cleaned quickly. Saanich police Const. Mark Pamminger has been doing good work by building community relationships to tackle prolific graffiti, but it’s now time for neighbourhood associations to pick up the torch and organize volunteer crews for quick clean-ups. B.C. Hydro provides Pamminger with paint supplies to clean hydro poles, and no doubt other businesses will step up if the call goes out. Graffiti isn’t just a mess for police and Saanich crews to sort out: it’s everyone’s problem. Clean neighbourhoods lead to stronger communities. Perhaps a Saanich Together Against Graffiti (STAG) team will pop up and take charge before another tagger has a chance to put the cap back on her permanent marker.

Graffiti isn’t just a mess for police.

Saanich plays long game on A-word Re: Made-in-Saanich ballot question to target apathy (News, Oct. 8) If appreciation from those championing regional amalgamation is the expected response to the currently drafted-in-Saanich ballot question, those responsible for allowing what could only have been composed by someone with “policy analyst” in their job title will be disappointed. The troubling question is: “Do you support Council initiating a community based review of the governance structure and policies within Saanich and our partnerships within the Region?” Such a scatter-gun focus will enable discussion of a wide range of issues. By not addressing the amalgamation option with a straightforward question, could the real intention be to delay, obfuscate or mislead? The expensive multiple failures of our elected leaders within the Capital Regional District to complete major projects does not warrant our giving the present lot the opportunity to amalgamate multiple local governments, and then organize and manage a new larger entity. After the failed Regional Waste Management program (yes, it’s still all to Hartland Landfill), and the once-again revamped sewage treatment plan (yes, co-ordinated sewage began with the Core Area Liquid Waste Management Committee back in 2006) we’ve hopefully realized that bigger may not be better, and that attempts at bigger and hopefully more efficient systems frequently fail.

While admitting to perhaps unjustified character assassination of the above-noted (assumed) policy analyst, kudos may soon be due to Mayor Frank Leonard. What could be delaying tactics by His Worship may provide just enough time to enable Saanich residents to, during the respective amalgamation reviews by regional entities, confirm the inability of some neighbouring local governments to provide leaders with the knowledge, skills and organizational ability required to effectively create and then manage a new, greater government structure in southern Vancouver Island. I’m betting Saanich will, for many years into the future, continue to be the best managed local government within the continuing Capital Regional District. Ron Johnson Saanich

Practical actions to address climate change Re: Prescription: fight global warming, Guest View, (News, Oct.10) Having just read David Suzuki’s last column in Saanich News, and also having just finished reading

Naomi Klein’s ground-breaking book, This Changes Everything (“This” meaning climate change), I am prompted to try and bring it all together. As David says, “We must act now.” I have 5 suggestions: 1. Instead of subsidizing oil and gas exploration and extraction, give these large amounts of money to the development of Clean Energy, wind, solar, tidal, thermal etc. 2. Stop the construction of the Site C dam and the flooding of prime agricultural land. 3. Prevent the building of the proposed oil pipeline known as the Northern Gateway pipeline. 4. Prevent the expansion of the Kinder Morgan pipeline. 5. Ban oil tankers from navigating the hazardous channels along our West Coast. I attended Guy Dauncey’s heartwarming talk last week at the University of Victoria entitled: Could B.C. become a 100 per cent Renewable Energy Region? The answer is yes, if we the public and our provincial government put our minds to it. We all need to take up the challenge, for the sake of our future generations. Daphne M. Taylor Saanich

the past year. Since then, clients who drop in to use food hampers have been invited to food preparation classes to help them save money and get more creative with meals. Last year, in partnership with the Mount Tolmie Community Association, Camosun Community Association and local churches, organizers secured a $100,000, three-year grant from the National Lutheran Church to expand their services. A lack of fixed address continued to be a hiccup in the long-term viability of the kitchen before the new home was found. The organization’s new location will provide a place where participants can work in small groups to prepare and share meals together through a variety of programs; learn about and contribute to growing food in urban gardens; connect to a variety of existing community resources; and obtain food support during times of need through a pantry program.

Every day millions of women slap on body moisturizer, apply lipstick or mascara without a second thought about what they are putting on their skin. A study from the UK claims that the average woman applies more than 500 chemicals to her body every day during her beauty routine.

Why should you be concerned?

Chemicals such as parabens (a synthetic preservative in everything from toothpaste to shampoo) and phthalates (a class of chemicals that are found in many “fragranced” beauty products such as lotions, perfumes and deodorants) are classified as xenoestrogens. Xenoestrogens mimic our natural estrogens creating hormone chaos by increasing the total amount of estrogen, resulting in a condition called estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance has been implicated in many conditions including: breast and prostate cancer, obesity, infertility, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, early onset puberty, hormonal acne and PMS.

The GMC Canyon has more upscale features and a lavish cabin – something I wouldn’t have said before when it comes to midsize trucks – while the Colorado is more utilitarian in nature. No matter how you slice it, both of these trucks have impressive features. One is its quietness. Whether driving

the four or six-cylinder variants, no rattles, bangs or buzzing were heard. I actually couldn’t believe my ears as to how serene the cabin was. I guess the triple door seals are doing their job and doing it well. The transmission had a smoothness to it and the 8-inch touchscreen featuring Text Messaging Alerts and Siri Eyes Free are a bonus. If you’re just hauling yourself, or a pair of jet skis around back, the GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado can do the job. And they do it very well. Pricing for the Chevrolet Colorado starts at an MSRP of $19,900 for the four-cylinder with the extended cab. The GMC Canyon has a starting MSRP of $20,600 (both exclude a destination charge of $1,695). Visit www.gm.ca for more information Alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

UP TO

A new fuel consumption rating system kicks in for all 2015 model year new cars and light trucks. The Government of Canada has finally approved the five-cycle test method, already used in the US since 2008. In general, those predicted fuel consumption figures on the EnerGuide label (on every new vehicle) will increase somewhere in the 10 to 20 per cent range, compared to a similar, or even identical, 2014 model year vehicle. As before, vehicle manufacturers are required to submit fuel consumption data to the federal government based on controlled laboratory testing procedures. This is done in order to produce results that are consistent and repeatable and includes the use of standardized fuels, test cycles and calculations. The underlying objective is to give a Canadian consumer making a new vehicle purchase decision an accurate and reliable way to compare fuel consumption. The three additional test cycles, added to the old two-cycle testing method, include cold temperature operation, air conditioner usage, and driving at higher speeds with more rapid acceleration and braking. Cars, roads and motoring habits have changed over the years and the new five-cycle test was designed to better simulate modern driving. That said, and also as before, an ownerâ€™s actual on-road fuel consumption is still likely to be different, although closer to the new government test numbers. Real life fuel consumption not only varies depending on how and where you drive, it can also change with traffic, the weather, after dark and a bunch of other less obvious factors. If you want to check how your current vehicle would fare (and compare) in the five-cycle test, Natural Resources Canada (nrcan.gc.ca) has an online calculation tool

that gives approximate fuel economy numbers for vehicles going all the way back to 1995. This is the web link: http://oee. nrcan.gc.ca/fcr-rcf/ public/index-e.cfm The more fuel a vehicle burns is directly related to the amount of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, it pumps out the tailpipe. So, not only does a more fuel efficient vehicle cost less to operate, it also has reduced environmental impact. Fuel economy now transcends the small car market and is an important concern for buyers in just about every vehicle market segment. Itâ€™s also why fuel economy has become an increasingly important in the marketing of new vehicles, especially in the high-volume market segments. The car business is a highly competitive one and, as you might expect, auto makers try to build vehicles that do well, and get low numbers, in the government fuel economy test. Major technological changes are also happening in the fuel economy race. Smaller and more efficient gasoline engines are available, hybrid vehicle sales are taking off, plugin hybrid vehicles are becoming more common and the pure electric vehicle is a competitive production reality. So, even the term â€œfuel consumptionâ€? may become obsolete, sometime in the future. Right now, however, if you walk into a new car dealership showroom, youâ€™ll probably find both 2014 and 2015 editions of the same model vehicle for sale, side-by-side. If you donâ€™t notice the asterisked note under the EnerGuide fuel consumption figure on the 2015, itâ€™s easy to assume that itâ€™s a less fuel efficient vehicle and thatâ€™s almost certainly not correct. The 2015 EnerGuide fuel consumption figure is simply more realistic and closer to what youâ€™re likely to experience during dayto-day driving in the real world. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

Camry undergoes major update

SPECIAL

OIL CHANGE PACKAGES

By Zack Spencer

Charlotte, NC – The launch for the heavily updated Toyota Camry took place here in the heart of NASCAR country. Along the drive route, there were several NASCAR stops, one at the Hall of Fame, and another at Joe Gibbs Racing and a third at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. This was all to emphasize just how American the Camry has become. The chief engineer of the 2015 Camry is from Michigan, not Japan, as was the case with the rest of the crew that updated over 2000 parts on this latest sedan. It is the most popular passenger car in North America and number one in the United States. However, that is not the case in Canada, where it lies third in the Toyota lineup behind the Corolla and RAV4.

Looks

When a car is typically refreshed, the designers add a new front bumper, grille headlights and rear taillights and call it a day. Not the case here, the 2015 Toyota Camry has allnew sheet metal, providing a sleeker and more eye-catching design. The wheelbase remains the same length but the track, side-to-side has been widened for more stability. The overall length is only slightly longer, in the nose, to help achieve the more polished look. The interesting thing is this new more youthful design actually makes the car look smaller, mostly due to the less slab-sided look used in the previous car and the tightly wrapped lines and shapes. There is a new trim level in the Camry lineup, the XSE, sportier looking trim that enabled Toyota to lower the price of the, still sporty, SE trim by $2,000 to $24,990. In addition the SE trim has been added to the Hybrid model, enabling buyers of that efficient car to also enjoy a more distinctive design.

trim. The centre stack now has bigger buttons and rotary dials for ease of use, a welcome update for older buyers. To appeal to younger intenders, the Camry has the latest connectivity and on the top XLE models a wireless charging system in the centre cubby but the phone either needs a special sleeve or integrated wireless charging technology.

Not just happy to make a more appealing looking car, the engineers also went about improving the ride, handling and noise inside the car. The track of the wheels has been widened and the lower end models also get wider wheels for improved feedback but the biggest change is to the steering feel. The Camry is equipped with electric power steering and these systems have been notorious for poor feedback to the driver. This new 2015 Camry is a big step foreword. Straight-line stability has been improved and the car, with a more rigid platform and slightly stiffer springs and shocks, is now sending good feedback to the driver.

Physical Literacy blooms in Saanich

On Tuesday morning Tillicum Elementary will launch its newest physical literacy initiative called fit and fuel. The program works in part with the Tillicum’s hot breakfast plan, adding a 30 minute unit of sports and exercise before school starts. It’s the fifth physical literacy class in Tillicum’s schedule, as there are currently four after school classes, Monday-Thursday for two hours each. “This is our fourth year running physical literacy programs and we’ve seen way more engagement from our students since the first year,” says principal Lori Burley of Tillicum Elementary. “It’s at the point now where we have waiting lists for our programs, with 20 to 25 kids in each of the four after school classes.” n PISE’s physical Burley’s seen a huge literacy’s budget spinoff effect from is $250,000 and the physical literacy growing. classes. “Numbers are up in n Funding comes other programs, such from the province as basketball and cross through the Ministry country running, and of of Community, course there’s better allSport and Cultural around sportsmanship Development, and confidence with a Victoria Foundation, lot of the kids.

The PISE building was still in its planning stages, and Graham had yet to finish her bachelor of sport and fitness leadership degree at Camosun College. The Lambrick Park secondary grad has seen PISE come to fruition as a one-stop-shop for high performance sports science, sports and injury recovery, and a place for everything and anything that can enhance training. In 2011 Graham joined the physical literacy program and last year she took on the full time program coordinator role. “When PISE was in its planning stages we didn’t know physical literacy would be what it is, and it’s become a vehicle for PISE’s community presence,” Graham said. PISE originally launched the ABCs of physical literacy as an outreach program in places such as the Cridge Centre for the Family, Craigflower and Tillicum elementary schools.

Glenlyon Norfolk School students are being featured in a major film that examines the environmental work of children across the globe. Brazilian filmmaker Marcos Negrao visits the school today to talk to Grade 6 to 8 members of the Fin Free Club, who are advocating to end the mass slaughter of sharks for shark fin soup. The club has caught the attention of MP Finn Donnelly and other politicians as they lobby to ban shark fins from B.C. municipalities and the province. Negrao’s film, under production with Enigma Filmes and Warner Brothers, will be called Child of Nature. The film features children all over the world who represent all races, creeds, social classes and environments, states a release.

South Vancouver Island Dance Archives officially opens at Dance Victoria Studios on Wednesday (Oct. 22). The archive was established two years ago and its committee has been collecting, cataloguing and preserving photographs, house programs, press clippings and other memorabilia from the past century. Its first project was to catalogue the Wynne Shaw collection. Shaw is credited with staging the first North American production of Coppelia, a classical ballet first staged in Paris in 1870. Shaw’s version played at the Royal Theatre in 1939. She also contributed choreography to film and television and was the owner of a local studio. Even after her death in 1985, Shaw’s reach and influence still resonates in Victoria’s dance scene today. Her collection will form some of the display at the grand opening. Recent acquisitions include materials from Florence Clough, active in the early part of the last century. South Vancouver Island Dance Archives opening reception will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. at Dance Victoria Studios, 2750 Quadra St. Light lunch and refreshments will be served. RSVP to 250-595-1829 or rsvp@dancevictoria.com.

In Saanich, small business makes up a significant part of the local economy, notes Mayor Frank Leonard. “We know that our local economy is performing well, although the lingering effects of the recent downturn are still present.

“Small business is the backbone of many local economies in British Columbia and Saanich is no different.

Their contribution to our community is something we value and recognize during Small Business Week.” – Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard cent of them are small or home based businesses.” One of the factors in attracting small business is the livability of a community. “We are very proud of our community – we have been ranked in the top three Best Places to Live in British Columbia two years running by MoneySense magazine,” Leonard notes. “We also try to do our part by making it easier for business to start up and operate.

Cattle clash continues Continued from Page A1

“I had informed (the District) it was what we needed to do for the feedlot. Then we cut trees and they said we did it without a permit.” If the family wants to make the current farming business viable, they need to remove the trees, Don said. But Mayor Frank Leonard said Saanich has no intention to approve the removal of the trees. “The (Albergs’) legal council wants a permit to remove trees, and we’ll take measures to not issue the permit,” Leonard said. The Albergs have made multiple applications to rezone the property for the purposes of a residential development, including an application for a 16-unit development in March. At one point the proposals

included covenants to protect the Garry oak meadows. “The way things are going, there’ll be nothing left to protect,” Leonard said. The report also suggests to neighbours – many of whom have publicly aired their frustration about a feedlot in their backyards – can go to the Farm Industry Review Board. “The intensity of farm use on the property is of concern to us,” Leonard said. “We’re offering to assist neighbours if they want to go to the FIRB. As more cattle come in it could be said, ‘This is too many.’” Leonard pointed to the Beckwith Farms use of bird-repelling cannons from 2010 to 2012. The cannons were used to stave off Canada geese, which killed a reported 12,000 blueberry plants in a few days, but were eventually cancelled due

to pressure from the neighbours with support from the municipality. The Alberg feedlot tree issue is only the latest development in the ongoing saga. Both the municipality and the Albergs believe the other side is failing to take action on the matter. To actualize the property rezoning and residential development, Saanich says the land first needs to be removed from the Agricultural Land Reserve. The Albergs disagree and say there is no legal obligation to do so. Don Alberg also cites a lack of trust with the city, but remains hopeful a residential rezoning can happen. “We need to sit down and say look, we’ve gone far enough, it’s an impasse,” Don said.

Marathon winner will be back Daniel Kipkoech took an early lead and never looked back as he won the Goodlife Fitness Victoria Marathon Sunday in two hours, 20 minutes and four seconds. He defeated Thomas Omwenga by seven minutes. Kipkoech went out fast, aiming for a 2:10 finish but at five kilometres he reduced his pace. “I felt the cool wind off the water and reduced my pace,” Kipkoech said. “I probably hadn’t

recovered from running the Montreal Half Marathon last week, where it was hot and humid. I would like to come back next year and run a 2:10.” Omwenga, the 2011 and 2012 champion, came second in 2:27:09. Third and top Master was Oliver Utting in 2:29:02. On the women’s side, Lioudmila Kortchaguina won in 2:41:39 The women’s race had high expectations with 2013 champion, Victoria’s Catrin Jones

returning and Kortchaguina, top master at the 2013 Canadian Marathon Championships, making her first appearance in the Victoria Marathon. Kortchaguina win is a Masters course record (the old record was set by Victoria’s Cheryl Murphy in 2009). Eva Vail, from Portland, Ore., was second in 2:45:54. Jones was third in 2:46:51. Kortchaguina also won the new Top Canadian Citizen prize for a total pay day of

The 8K saw ex-Victoria native Geoff Martinson win in 23:38, just 15 seconds short of the course record and the third fastest time ever.

Regional market shows strong fall sales Local sales helped push the regional numbers to 565 sold properties in September Jennifer Blyth Victoria News

While house sale prices remain somewhat flat, a significant increase in sales has the Victoria Real Estate Board optimistic about local market. Saanich sales helped push the regional numbers to 565 properties sold in September, an increase of 16 per cent over the same month last year. And the quarter ending in September shows a 15 per cent increase in the number of sales overall compared to the same quarter in 2013, Victoria Real Estate Board president Tim Ayres said this week. “We haven’t seen sales like this in September since 2009,” Ayres said in announcing the numbers. “The balanced market conditions we’ve seen over the last seven months mean property prices are stable, so it might be more comfortable for buyers and sellers to make a move because they know that property values are predictable.” This predictability means buyers know if they need to wait to find the right house, they needn’t worry about quickly rising prices, and sellers know that if they’re priced right, they’ll likely find a buyer. The Multiple Listing Service Home Price Index benchmark value for a single family home in the Victoria Core this time last year was $550,900. This month the benchmark value increased to $556,200. The benchmark price for Greater Victoria condos sat at $287,100 this September, compared to $283,900 in September 2013, while the benchmark for townhouses showed a marginal increase

Real estate for sale signs outside a condo building on Meares Street. The real estate market in Victoria and Esquimalt are seeing positive returns this fall. to $401,500 in September 2014 from $400,000 in 2013. In this diverse market with a good mix of both entry-level and luxury residences, single-family homes and multi-family properties, Ayres hasn’t noticed a single sector really outperforming others; the key seems to be in pricing the property appropriately, he said. At the same time, Victoria does seem to show a renewed interest in condominiums. “The people I talk to that are in condos are definitely noticing an increase in demand or an least

interest that they haven’t seen for awhile,” Ayres said. “If the projects are smart and they pay attention to what people want, they are going to continue to do well.” Looking forward, Ayres anticipates more people in larger markets – Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa and to some extent the prairie cities – selling their homes and moving west. “I think it’s only a matter of time before we see some of them (coming to the Island),” he said. Locally, Ayres expects the busy

fall to continue for realtors. “It wouldn’t surprise me to see a busier October than we’ve seen in a few years,” he said. “Usually you have until about the last week of November before things start to slow down (for the holidays),” he said, noting that even then, those looking to sell benefit from the typically reduced number of homes on the market. “Things always open up in the fall and early in the new year; there’s definitely people looking and generally less competition.”

Junior national team prospect Lexi De Armond of the Mount Douglas Rams has turned down NCAA offers for a chance to play for the UVic Vikes or UBC Thunderbirds next season. Travis Paterson News staff

Wildcat on demand Travis Paterson News staff

Lexi De Armond doesn’t wait around for things to happen. The 17-year-old couldn’t help but knock the ball around from a close distance while her Mount Douglas Rams teammates practised on Tuesday, despite suffering

from an injury. As soon as she’s cleared to play, she will. De Armond never waited to join the Rams in the first place, having played with the high school senior girls team since she was in Grade 7 at Arbutus middle school. She’s also on Victoria’s premier women’s Wildcats, and is hoping to catch on with the national junior team

after winning the U18 nationals with Team B.C. this summer. “There’s word of a fall tour for the junior team so maybe I can get into that, I hope,” she said. The jump between playing with the Rams in the Lower Island school field hockey league to the Wildcats in the premier division of the Vancouver Women’s Field Hockey Association is

The Saanich Braves earned its first win of the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League season, defeating the Oceanside Generals 6-2 on Wednesday, Oct. 8 at P e a r ke s arena. Nick Guerra scored a hat trick, one in each period, to pace the Braves in the win. Kyle Schnettler, Cam MacKay and Cameron Kovesdi also scored for the Braves. The win streak ended at one game, as the Braves (1-9-1) fell to the first-place Westshore Wolves on Friday (Oct. 10), 3-1. The Braves host the Nanaimo Buccaneers tonight, 6:30 p.m. at Pearkes arena.

SPORTS NEWS IN BRIEF

a jump that’s sometimes frustrating, she said. “It’s a lot of fun playing high school hockey but it’s quite different, I do score more goals off set plays.” There are other Team B.C. members on the Rams, including a trio of Grade 9 players who were on Team B.C. “It’s funny, I used to be the young one, and now even on the Wildcats I’m not the youngest anymore.” So the Rams’ future is good, but the time is now for De Armond and crew to challenge for the league title. They were knocked out of the historic Bridgman Cup over the weekend by Handsworth from North Vancouver. But in four league games the Rams remain undefeated. Mount Doug plays its next two games of the season, Oak Bay on Monday and St. Michaels University School on Wednesday, at UVic’s water-based turf. Following that is the Rams’ final regular season match, Oct. 27 versus SMUS II, before the AAA Island playoffs, Oct. 31 to Nov. 1 at UVic. The AA playoffs are coming up, Oct. 24 and 25 at a to-be-determined location up Island. De Armond will likely suit up for the UVic Vikes or UBC Thunderbirds next year, and hopes to play for the senior national team one day.
