Oak Bay alone in opposition to amalgamation

Christine van ReeuwykNews Staff

Oak Bay is the lone one of eight communities where residents opposed a non-binding referendum question on amalgamation on their ballots.

Oak Bay voters rejected amalgamation by a 62 per cent margin, 3,594 to 2,184.

“There was a clear sentiment that people in Oak Bay don’t want to

amalgamate so I was confident that would be the outcome. There’s a clear mandate from residents that Oak Bay should not be moving in that direction,” said Mayor Nils Jensen. “There are other ways we can create efficiencies and avoid duplication. We have a small and very efficient staff. We’re very cost conscious.”

The electorate, however, approved a study on amalgamation in seven of eight communities that held a non-binding referendum question, many calling for public consultation and a provincial study on regional governance. North Saanich, Central Saanich, Langford,

Esquimalt, Victoria, Sidney and Saanich also had questions.

“When you look at the questions that were asked, who wouldn’t invite the province to pay for a study?” Jensen said, noting Langford had the most similar question and narrowly earned the nod from residents. “I think it’s a clear mandate for council that residents don’t want to move forward with respect to amalgamation.”

The citizens group that led the charge to add the questions to municipal ballots, Amalgamation Yes, says those councils now need to engage the province to

develop a public consultation and study process to explore models of governance.

“The electorate has spoken and now is the time for action. Amalgamation Yes is expecting that local officials will move forward with the governance review in the near future and will be asking the province to take a leadership role in facilitating the process,” said John Vickers, spokesperson for AmalgamationYes.

Seven other communities say yes to studies

Province commits resources for study

“Unbiased, objective studies conducted by the province will provide the best quality information to residents.”

Vickers said he’s had communications with the ministry but it’s imperative now to keep moving that forward.

“What we’d like to see is a commission with experts and insight into the various issues, to study and come up with two or three different models, which will hopefully lead to a provincially run referendum in 2018 or a binding municipal referendum.”

Oak Bay was the only municipality to reject further examination of amalgamation, with 62 per cent saying no to the question: Are you in favour of the District of Oak Bay being amalgamated into a larger regional municipality?

“The Oak Bay and Langford question didn’t have any consultation, it was ‘Will you marry me before the first date?’” Vickers said.

Hot on the heels of the

election, the province announced Monday it would put resources toward studying amalgamation for Greater Victoria.

“In the Capital Region, a number of municipalities asked ballot questions about governance structures at the local level, and results indicate many citizens in the region are open to examining changes to the local government structure and/or service delivery,”

said Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Coralee Oakes in a release.

“I remain committed to provide the support and resources required by the newly elected local governments, once they have had an opportunity to discuss and review the results in greater detail.”

CARRIER OF THE MONTH

GREAT JOB

carriers!PATRICK

Hello, My name is Patrick and I

am 11 years old, 12 in February 2015. I am a student at Glen Lion Norfolk school at Grade 6.

I deliver Oak Bay News since October 2013 because I wanted a well paying job. When I started I was accompanied by my parents. After a year I know my route and clientele

requirements. Today I can walk by myself. I like paper route because it gives me motivation to go outside, I

am fairly paid and I enjoy the walk on misty or cool days. Having a job has been very good for me. I want to keep my paper

route until I get adult job or I find a new after school activity that I would prefer over my paper route.

I enjoy my own money. I spend my earnings toward PS4 and the longboard. I’m saving now for a computer and new products that I would want.

I have goal to get faster at delivering Oak Bay News. The route takes me an hour when I’m very fast.

I am very busy: I swim, read, play soccer, play with my cat, play chess, bike, do martial arts - jujitsu and play saxophone.

I like to cook, fish, hike, longboard. My hobbies are fishing and windsurfing.

As our neighbours in Victoria, Colwood, Saanich, Esquimalt, View Royal and Songhees Nation face changeover from mail service at the door to community mailboxes, politicians and residents here in Oak Bay still have more questions than answers.

“I think that the imposition or retrofit of those super mailbox sites into established neighbourhoods is going to have the potential to damage the neighbourhood and streetscape,” said Patrick Frey, a south Oak Bay resident and resident appointee on the recent Official Community Plan Advisory Committee. “I think there are issues as well in safety and accessibility. These communities were not designed with that in mind.”

A pair of local politicians hold out hope Canada Post will halt the planned elimination of home mail delivery to 20,000 households in the Capital Region.

“I wrote to the CEO of Canada Post in July with practical questions about how this would be implemented in Greater Victoria. It’s disappointing to see Canada Post move ahead before answering any of those basic questions about cost, safety and accessibility,” said Victoria MP Murray Rankin.

Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen shares Frey’s concern over impact of community mailboxes on established neighbourhoods.

“We work very hard to

preserve the streetscapes in neighbourhoods and our villages,” said Jensen. “We work to maintain the character of these areas. We don’t want huge boxes blighting our boulevards. We don’t want traffic jams or parking issues. If Canada Post goes ahead without listening to residents or council, it’s not going to work for Oak Bay.”

Too many questions remain, Frey said.

“The infrastructure investment to achieve the mailbox sites is going to be pretty substantial,” said Frey. If costs are downloaded onto municipalities: “That’s going to take scarce money away from other uses including at the local level implementation of some of the stuff that’s in the OCP.”

Rankin, Jensen and Frey all want assurances that residents won’t

be forced to foot the bill for new infrastructure.

“Canada Post wants to have it both ways. They’re saying it’s a cost-saving measure but they’re also saying it’s driven by the decline in hard copy mail,” said Frey. “If you take that to its logical conclusion, the question becomes in 10 years is almost everything going to be electronic? Is this huge investment for this purpose going to be short term? … There are some real questions about that that need to be addressed.”

The streets in his neighbourhood, Frey notes, are not designed with these things in mind.

“It’s quite a different thing when

you’re trying to retrofit them into these established neighbourhoods,” he said.

He fears the narrow streets

and short blocks, with extra people getting in the car to pick up the mail, will cause safety concerns. He envisions U-turns and unnecessary backing up.

“Human nature being what it is, I can picture a lot of people getting in their car and driving a short distance,” he said. “What you’ll see is traffic congestion, and people making potentially bad decisions about how they access the site.”

After a public outcry earlier this year from seniors’ groups and persons with disabilities who rely

on home mail delivery, Canada Post committed to providing specific accommodation to those who lack alternatives. Rankin says requiring a “doctor’s note” is far from a workable solution.

“What they’re offering is a 1-800 number that you’re to call and give your confidential medical information to Canada Post,” Rankin said. “The Canadian Medical Association has already rejected this approach as costly and irresponsible. They’re cutting jobs for postal workers and making work for doctors.”

No postal codes in Oak Bay have been slated for changeover yet. While all of Canada will be converted away from door-to-door delivery over the next five years, a total of 18,008 addresses in Victoria, Langford, Colwood, Esquimalt, View Royal and Songhees are to be converted by next fall.

Canada Post has launched a program which offers those residents multiple opportunities to have a say in where those boxes will go.

“Houses will receive the informational kit (in the VNA and VNB postal code zones) from Canada Post this week confirming they’re part of the conversion and inviting feedback,” said Canada Post spokesperson Anick Losier. “We localize the information on where to put the boxes at granular level within the street, and that comes from the community and municipality level.”

Canada Post’s priorities are to blend the community boxes into the region as best as possible while respecting urban design, attention to accessibility, safety, high traffic and sidewalks, Losier said.

Rescue crews locate stranded picnicker on Discovery IslandChristine van ReeuwykNews Staff

Darkness settled too quickly for a pair of picnickers on Discovery Island last Saturday.

Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre called in the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue Station 33 in Oak Bay with a report of a man missing on Discovery Island.

“A lady and her husband had gone out from Oak Bay Marina to Discovery Island

and had a picnic on the island,” said Ed Walker, station leader at RCM-SAR Station 33 in Oak Bay.

The man went for a walk with the dog but then darkness settled.

“He got turned around and he wound up on the north side of the island … in the dark.”

The wife headed back for the marina and met up with the Oak Bay’s RCM-SAR team.

“We talked to her and took her to the rescue station so she could show us

exactly where they had been,” Watson said. The RCM-SAR team started at Rudlin Bay,

initiating the search from the east end of the beach, the missing man’s last known position.

“Partway into the search the navy provided a helicopter and they started searching using search lights and infrared,” Watson said.

The man was found on the beach by both teams.

“He had done a couple things right. He

had turned his coat inside out so that the light lining showed, it helped him to be seen in the dark,” Watson said. “He went to the last known spot and he stayed there instead of thrashing around, it made him fairly easy to find.”

The entire incident took just over an hour.

“It was the kind of incident you like,” Walker said. “There’s a feeling of accomplishment when you’re finished and you know you’ve helped people.”

Winchester Galleries kicks off winter in Oak Bay with floor to ceiling art.

Paintings are “hung in an irresistible cheek-by-jowl manner,” says Elizabeth Levinson of Winchester Modern, the Winchester sister gallery in Victoria.

“We’re really wanting to offer an alternative to the Christmas sweater or socks under the tree. We suggest an artwork that might become an heirloom, whether it’s from an emerging artist, something more accessibly priced … or an established big name in Canadian art.”

Winchester Galleries intends to start an annual winter tradition Saturday on Oak Bay Avenue with The Winter Exhibition.

The wide range of work includes local artists such as Oak Bay’s Adam Noonan, Avis Rasmussen, Terry Fenton, the late Fenwick Lansdowne, Andy Wooldridge and Manish om Prakash as well as many famous Canadian abstract painters including Jean Paul Riopelle, Claude Tousignant, Harold Klunder, Jean McEwen and Michael Morris. There will be lots of previously unseen works including paintings from Antoine

Bittar and Douglas Fraser as well as William Perehudoff paperworks.

“The hanging is inspired by The Summer Exhibition that has

taken place continuously since 1769 in London’s Burlington House,” Levinson said.

They’ve done the salon-style hanging before.

“It was just fabulous. People walked in and just said ‘wow’. You’re looking from lower down than we would normally hang, right up to the ceiling, so there’s

so much to take in,” Levinson said.

The Summer Exhibit has a steel band march down Piccadilly in London. To emulate that merriment, the Yiddish Columbia State Orchestra will play Saturday from about 10 a.m. to noon up and down Oak Bay Avenue and perform on the plaza at Winchester Galleries.

“They’re really going to serenade everyone who’s out on the avenue Saturday morning … and lead a merry group back to the gallery,” Levinson said. “I think it’s going to be one of those overwhelming, lively kind of events.”

Regular Winchester performer harpist Elizabeth Ely will perform inside the gallery from noon to 4 p.m. The Winter Exhibition runs to Dec. 3 in advance of the Oak Bay Gallery Walk on Dec. 4.

“This is also a nice lead in to that evening, which is very popular on the avenue,” Levinson said. “Oak Bay has really become an arts centre.”

Three new trustees could bring a major shift to the Greater Victoria board of education.

“I think the [election result] is going to change the direction of the board,” said current board chair Peg Orcherton.

Ann Whiteaker topped the polls with 20,252 votes. She will be joined by fellow newcomers Rob Paynter (18,926 votes) and Jordan Watters (16,658).

Orcherton (20,083 votes), will be joined by five other incumbents when the new board is sworn in Dec. 1: Deborah Nohr (20,177), Diane McNally (20,057), Elaine Leonard (17,855), Edith Loring-Kuhanga (17,389) and Tom Ferris (16,940).

“What I’d like to see is the board moving in the same direction, focusing on what benefits students, but I’m not sure that’s going to happen,” said Orcherton.

She expects the three new trustees will side with three others currently at the table, something she fears will put “the benefit of the teachers’ union before the benefit of the students.”

Orcherton also expects the new balance of power will bring an end to her term as board chair.

“I don’t think that’s going to be in the cards. I think with a new majority it will likely shift. We’ll have to see on [Dec. 1].”

Orcherton plans to call on the other trustees to present a united voice to advocate for the proper funding models so students get the education they deserve.

“With the chronic underfunding of education, we need to work together with one voice, not fighting amongst ourselves and with stakeholders group, which allows the government to continue to abrogate their responsibilities,” she said.

Canada Post mustaddress concerns

Neither rain, nor sleet, nor dark of night can keep a mail carrier from completing their rounds, to paraphrase the age-old motto of the U.S. Postal Service. But dwindling revenues and a government looking for areas to cut could see door-to-door delivery go the way of the stage coach that used to transport the mail.

Local politicians, however, aren’t quite so keen on the changes planned for Canada Post, with door-to-door delivery expected to be phased out over the next five years.

While no postal codes in Oak Bay have been slated for changeover yet, a total of

18,008 addresses in Victoria, Langford, Colwood, Esquimalt, View Royal and Songhees are to be converted by next fall.

Those proposed changes have prompted Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen and Victoria MP Murray Rankin to speak out against the elimination of home delivery and ask questions in regards to the holes that litter the Canada Post plan.

Rankin was stunned to see Canada Post move ahead before answering questions about cost, safety and accessibility.

“We work very hard to preserve the streetscapes in neighbourhoods and our villages,” said Jensen. “We work to maintain the character of these areas. We don’t want huge boxes blighting our boulevards. We don’t want traffic jams or parking issues.”

With mail volumes continuing their steady decline, it’s easy to see the lure of community mailboxes. The community mailboxes certainly make sense for highrise developments and tightly packed homes in a city core, and would significantly reduce costs for the financially stretched Crown corporation in sparsely populated rural areas.

But Canada Post must consult with communities to avoid massive disruption being caused by the implementation of community delivery, and Ottawa certainly can’t expect to offset costs onto municipalities for a program aimed to boost federal coffers.

The advent of electronic communication has greatly diminished Canadians’ reliance on mail delivery. But that doesn’t mean changes to the mail system should leave Canadians out in the cold.

Switch away from home delivery needs to avoid undue disruption

Trees can pose a serious threat to propertyThe cypress/juniper hedge

blocking the sidewalk at the McCutcheon residence (Oak Bay News Nov. 7) illustrates things many people are ignorant of, besides the decency of not blocking sidewalks.

Trees grow, especially quickly here on the wet coast, despite what environmental activists infer.

Those ones really should be removed, then new ones can be planted further back from the sidewalk -– in a few years they’ll be

an ample hedge.People often plant too close to

fences, driveways, streets, and buildings – they don’t think ahead, so have to remove the trees later.

Meanwhile the folly of keeping trees was demonstrated in the recent windstorms, a neighbour’s tree almost took out windows in a friend’s house. The tree had been topped years ago – that’s another horticulture lesson for property owners, trees will grow multiple new

tops but they are weak. In recent years at least one elderly person living alone has had water through the roof in the middle of the night as a tree punctured it.

Folks, you have to think ahead, otherwise you’ll be redoing the job later – but at higher cost due to interference from the collective who require consultants and permits. (Voters don’t think ahead either.)

Oak Bay dog owners left holding the bagWhy is it that with taxes

as high as they are in Oak Bay that services provided by most other districts just don’t exist.

Oak Bay, like most of Victoria, has more dogs these days than ever

before. Most communities manage the waste caused by these dogs by providing bag dispensers and garbage cans for public use.

My wife and I walked our dog from Oak Bay Marina to Willows Beach, through

Cattle Point, Uplands Park and then back to Beach Drive to the marina. Nice sunny day, hundreds of dog walkers, not one bag dispenser. Being responsible dog lovers we always carry our own bags

but it sure is nice when we walk in Sidney, Esquimalt or other districts to have bags available in case we forgot.

Scott StoferBrentwood Bay

Now that the election is over the mayor can see that the major plank in his platform, the deer, is taken care of.

It is sad that many of those who voted for him did not seem to realize the cost and possible problems associated with this, his biggest concern.

When given the chance to explain costs and logistics in this complicated endeavour the mayor ignored it. It should be an interesting four years possibly wrought with problems for this decision.

Oak Bay entrepreneur Kate Jordan wonders: “What are you going to do with your freedom hour?”

It’s something she questions with the SassyFrassy brand she created that promises to free women from being limited to styling hair at home or a salon. Jordan’s portable chic invention can be used by women on the go, whether to work, to the kids’ soccer games, to the gym or wherever a busy day takes you.

“I have long thick hair that frizzes out and I don’t want to spend time on my hair,” Jordan said.

She discovered a hair-wrapping technique that the family said she could easily go out in.

“I get more compliments when it’s in than out,” she said, gesturing to the loops of hair wrapping her head like a braid.

The Sassyband works at the spa or while you sleep overnight.

“The ideal is to wear it damp and all day,” she said.

The result is two fabulous looks: a great look while you are wearing the band and great curls after you take the band out.

There are also heat and aromatherapy options for the bands that are manufactured in Esquimalt.

Despite a BA in chemistry, Lisa Gelling of Esquimalt finds her forte as a seamstress, creating both SassyFrassy bands and her own small business in reusable diapers.

“I do a lot of sewing for my kids,” she said. Pregnant with her fourth child, Gelling swears she can install the headband while flipping pancakes and adores the curls they create that make her feel ready for an evening out.

Users tie the patented Sassy hairband around their head, and simply wrap sections of hair around the band. After about a half hour or more, depending on

preference of curl or wave, users untie the Sassyband, shake out their hair and enjoy a headful of bouncy curls.

“When you get time freed up it fills right in,” Jordan said. “I want them to think ‘I committed this time to thinking about myself’.”

Jordan vows 10 per cent of the proceeds will go to a variety of charities with Women in Transition as the big one.

“Obviously I have a heart for helping women. I feel for them,” Jordan said. “If we can give some time to someone in a day to focus on themselves that’s good.”

Jordan introduced SassyFrassy kits to the world with a launch in Victoria last Friday. The kits are

available online only for $24.95 and include the band and the instant heat inserts. Additional heat and lavender inserts are available for $3. For additional information and instructional video, visit sassyfrassy.com.

Chargersearn split

A trio of Oak Bay High grads took to the court for the Camosun Chargers for the women’s basketball season opener last weekend.

First-year students Ali Cooper and Aija Salvador alongside second-year Kelly Young had an up-and-down weekend with the women’s Camosun Chargers as they hosted the Capilano Blues and the Quest University Canada Kermodes.

The Chargers edged the North Vancouver-based Blues 75-70 Friday before falling to Squamish 70-60 on Saturday.

The Camosun squad visits Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Surrey Friday and then the women and men’s teams head up to Abbotsford Saturday where they face Columbia Bible College.

Capital Region fans won’t get an opportunity to see the locals in action again until the new year when both Chargers teams will host Island rivals, Vancouver Island University [email protected]

Oak Bay High rules the court on Vancouver Island. The school captured the Vancouver Island championship over the weekend in both senior boys and senior girls volleyball.

The Oak Bay Barbers rebounded from a slow start to win a rematch against the Vanier Towhees to take the senior boys AAA crown in Nanaimo.

“It was a good performance for us because we didn’t play particularly well on Friday. We dropped that first match to Vanier,” said Barbers coach Al Carmichael.

The Courtenay squad earned a convincing 2-0 win on Friday but Oak Bay recovered in Saturday’s elimination match against their crosstown rivals the Reynolds Roadrunners.

“We started slow again, dropped the first set, but then got our game in line. We won the next two fairly convincingly,” said Carmichael.

The Barbers continued to roll with a win over the host Dover Bay Dolphins in the semifinals.

“It’s a team that we have struggled against this year but we came out with a convincing 3-0 win.”

Oak Bay stormed out to two-set lead in the rematch against Vanier in the finals. The Towhees took the third set but the Barbers hung on in the fourth for a 3-1 win (25-18, 25-16, 21-25, 25-23).

“The Grade 12s particularly played like they’re capable of. They stepped up to give us the points when we needed them,” said Carmichael.

The team now travels to the Langley Events Centre for the provincial championships Nov. 27-29.

“We still need to improve, we need to raise our game level if we want to be in the top four,” said Carmichael, who sees the Kelowna Owls as the team to beat.

“They’re pretty much, hands down, the class of the field,” said Carmichael, who is confident the Barbers can earn a spot in the semifinals.

“Then once we’re in the semifinals, all the stars need to line up at that point. It’s just who’s playing the best volleyball at that time.”

The Oak Bay Breakers used home-court advantage to rise to the top of the senior girls AAAA field on the Island.

Oak Bay got revenge for an opening round loss to knock off the West Shore’s Belmont Bulldogs in the final 3-1 (25-21, 25-27, 25-11, 25-18).

“The girls were focused on the task at hand by beating Claremont in straight sets [3-0] in the semifinals and then beating our arch rivals Belmont in the finals,” said Breakers coach Scott Millington.

Oak Bay’s Annie Pringle was named tournament MVP, while Morgan Roskelley was named a first-team all star and Madison Skala to the second team with the Oak Bay team that claimed its first Island title since 1973.

“It was our goal as a team since the start of the season to win the Island championship,” said Millington. “It has been a long season with lots of injuries, but the feeling of winning the island title will heal any physical pain that they have.”

The Breakers will now travel to Cranbrook for the provincial championships Nov. 27-29 at Mount Baker secondary.

Alisa Lyesina’s first foray to Montreal will be marked with hard work and seconds spent in the air.

The Oak Bay figure skater finished fourth in the province to earn a berth in the Western Canadian Challenge next month.

She was one of five Oak Bay skaters who competed at the B.C. and Yukon Sectional Championships in Prince George. Lyesina picked up the fourth spot for pre-novice ladies and became a Super Series bronze medalist. Lyesina competed alongside her pre-novice peers Cassidy Steen and Kiara Jankowski. Mackenzie Wavryk competed in novice and Amanda Wright as a junior.

“Amanda qualified last year and she’s the first in eight years,” said Jamie McGrigor, director of skating for the Oak Bay Figure Skating Club. “It’s quite an accomplishment for [Lyesina] to get through.”

The team of five girls all skated well, the coach said.

“They all did something exceptional. They all did something where the crowd went wild and people talked about. I was really

pleased with the way they skated,” McGrigor said. “[We’re] a small Island club and for those kids to do as well as they do is a testament

to their hard work.” Lyesina started

skating around the age of seven. It was just one of those things her parents tried out.

“I really like it,” she said, adding the jumps are particularly thrilling. Jumping is something she’s good at, and it comes through particularly in her short program.

“I feel like I can have fun in my short, my long is just serious,” she said.

Over the last year the Landsdown student says she’s concentrated on not over thinking and just doing her best.

“A year ago [Lyesina] decided she was going to make it come hell or high water and she did,” said McGrigor. “She’s done well all season. She was consistently at the top all year, that always helps with confidence.”

She’s shown commitment by skating five days a week, including three times on Wednesdays. The 13-year-old plans to continue skating, competing and

focusing as she enters Oak Bay High next year.

“It would be nice to make it to the Olympics or just compete on the world level,” she said.

Lyesina heads to the Western Canadian Challenge Dec. 5 to 7.

“I’m really excited to be competing in Montreal. It’s going to be really cool competing at the

national level. I’m a bit nervous, but mostly excited,” she said. “If I skate my best I’m hoping for top five.”

Good time to make a deal on 2014 modelsIf price is more important than a specific colour and you can compromise on content, there are some good deals out there on brand new 2014 model year vehicles.While most auto makers have had a successful sales year, it’s clear-out time on remaining 2014 models and the push is on to achieve or exceed those end-of-year sales goals. Before we jump into vehicles, a couple of consumer tips that will help make you a savvy new vehicle bargain hunter: If you plan to finance your vehicle purchase, it’s best to first check on loan (or line of credit) interest rates offered by your bank or credit union. An automaker “cash credit” option may be a better choice than low or even “0%” financing, if the informational APR (annual percentage rate) calculation is higher than the interest rate offered by your financial institution. The devil is in the details (as they say) when it comes to end of model year clear-out offers. Not only may that great offer be restricted to a specific model, it may only be for a specific trim level. It’s usually a limited time offer and there may be regional restrictions and/or local availability issues. So, here are some good 2014 model year vehicle choices with attractive (limited time) special offer pricing: Small Cars: Toyota is offering $1,500 to $2,500 off the list price of a Matrix. It’s the last

production year for this generation Matrix, a super reliable 5-door compact hatchback based on the Corolla. Discounted prices start at $16,395, but my pick would be a nicely outfitted Touring edition ($19,710 – including a $2,500 discount) with lots the convenience and power features.A $4,635 discount is offered on the Hyundai Elantra L, which drops the price of this stylish compact sedan to an amazing $12,995. Elantra is also a good reliable car, but this is the base edition with a manual transmission. The list price for the 2015 version of Elantra L has also been reduced to $15,999.

Minivans: The top selling and seeming perpetually discounted

Dodge Grand Caravan simply can’t be ignored in this category and the special offers come with a choice of two option packages. The list price is slashed by $8,100 with a Canadian Value Package and it sells for $19,995. With an Ultimate Family Package its discounted price is $27,888, which is a $10,330 saving. Selected editions of the Kia Sedona ($28,695 to $40,095) may also be a good buy. The cash discount can be as high as $7,000 or you can get $6,000 price cut plus 2.99 per cent financing.

Wagon/Utility: Trendy exterior styling separates the Ford Flex from its people-mover

competitors and right now, you can get up to $6,000 in rebates, plus an additional $1,000 off for qualified customers, off selected new 2014 models. There’s a practical side to its design as the Flex can provide seating for seven and still has 566 litres (20 cu ft) of cargo space in the back. List prices range from $24,499 to $38,399. Introduced in 2013, the Encore is a utility vehicle with modest external proportions and a small fuel-efficient four cylinder engine, but it’s still a quiet and comfortable riding Buick. The clear-out offer on select 2014 models is “0%” financing for up to 84 months or a $2,000 cash credit. List prices for the Encore are $27,835 to $36,895.

Sporty Cars: In addition to great looking return-to-roots styling, the Chevrolet Camaro has a sophisticated rear-drive chassis, powerful engine choices and it’s loaded with advanced technology engineering. A $4,500 cash credit is offered on the base 1LS trim level version or you can get “0%” financing for up to 84 months. Camaro list prices for MY2014 range from $28,495 to $77,400.Hyundai has slashed $7,000 off the 2014 list price for its Veloster Turbo with a manual transmission and $3,500 of the automatic version. The turbo engine gives the compact Veloster a much needed power boost to match its edgy, go-faster sporty styling.

It’s all about gaining traction for Subaru, not just on the pavement but also in terms of sales. For Subaru, traction and sales are related. The Okanagan was chosen for the wonderful twisting roads through wine country but also snow-on-demand at Big White Ski Resort and the setting was perfect.

InsideThe Okanagan is one of those spots that is defined by summer; it’s all about the hot, dry lakeside vaca-tion. But after three days, in and around Kelowna, experiencing the first blast of arctic air, the place is just as magical at this time of year. Stories of the wine pickers getting ready for the ice-wine harvest makes it as appealing and delicious as ever.The Impreza had a similar one-dimensional attitude before this new model arrived. Yes, it is one of the most practical designs, with big doors that make getting in and out a breeze, the huge windows make out-ward visibility impressive but the car lacked sophisti-

cation. For 2015 Subaru has done a good job of remedy-ing the situation. The radio head unit now looks like a polished, integrated feature, replacing what looked like an afterthought. There is a standard 6.2-inch unit or a larger 7-inch model for cars equipped with navigation. A backup camera is now stan-dard equipment along with Bluetooth connectivity and heated seats are standard on all but the base model.

DriveDriving over ice covered roads on the way to Big White Ski Resort and then getting to push the Impreza as hard as it would allow on a snow covered handling course, gives a great sense of confidence in the cars AWD system. For ultimate bite, a good set of winter tires along with the AWD system is impressive. The 148hp 2.0L 4-cylinder engine is carried over from the last car but now it is a Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV), and the Environmental Protection Agency in the United States claims it is the “cleanest gas car on the market”, helping to reduce smog-forming pollutants.

Other changes include a re-worked suspension and steering. The springs and dampening have been ad-justed to reduce bouncing over big bumps and the steering ratio is quicker. This along with the much quieter interior makes this a good cruising car but the steering lacks feedback and under hard cornering, the car tends to under steer.

VerdictThe continuously variable transmission (CVT) now has a thicker casing for quieter operation and it now features pre-set steps to help mimic a convention-al automatic. And manual transmission owners will be pleased to know that all trim levels can be equipped with a stick, but it is only a 5-speed. On the top two trim levels the Impreza can

be equipped with EyeSight, Subaru’s collision mitiga-tion system that can detect objects and pedestrians and will brake the car to a stop if the drive takes no action. This has proven to be popular with drivers and is something typically found in more expensive cars. What Subaru has not changed is the price. Start-ing at $19,995 and topping out at $30,295, there is a trim and price for many Canadian buyers. The added backup camera, improved interior and the bonus of a PZEV engine is all just an added benefit that should help

An electric luxury car designed to avert range anxiety

By Alexandra Straub

Honda has had a big year.Not only did it bring back the popular VFR800F (which I’ll get to in a bit), they released some all-new products.But the fun isn’t stopping there. With more motorcycles on the way for 2015, I thought now would be a good time to look back at some great bikes I rode in 2014.Besides, we might be deep into fall – with the accompanying frigid temperatures – but on sunny days, the roads aren’t without motorcycles. That’s definitely a warming thought.

CBR650FDon’t let the “CBR” designation - followed by the 650 – intimidate you. This all-new middleweight bike has the sporty flair that you’re used to but with a twist.With a curb weight of 211kg (465 lbs.) and a seat height is 810mm (31.8-inches), complete with a narrow middle profile, it allows a range of riders to feel comfortable atop its seat.What I really liked about this bike is that yes, you have the sport bike styling, but without the wrist and backache that can sometimes be experienced. The ergonomics are more upright so I was comfortable for much longer when I decided to go for an extended ride.Honda mentions that the development team included many engineers in their 20s.That’s a good thing, considering they want to attract a younger customer with the CBR650F.Furthermore, engineers decided early on that chasing peak power at redline was off their agenda. Strong acceleration from a standing start, low/mid range torque and mid-gear roll-on throttle response were targeted as the essential elements.Speaking of which, it’s powered by a liq-uid-cooled, 4-stroke, DOHC, inline-4 engine.It comes in great colours like Sword Silver Metallic, and my test bike, which happened to be the eye-catching Candy Tahitian BlueThe CBR650F has an MSRP of $8,999.

VFR800FThe wait is over and 2014 saw the re-intro-duction of the VFR800F.The legendary motorcycle is completely updated with a modern look, a brand new telescopic fork, Pro-arm swingarm, wheels and bodywork. Not to mention, there’s an adjustable seat height, standard-fit Traction Control System, ABS, heated grips and Honda’s unique new self-cancelling turn signals. In the process, it sheds 10kg from the previ-ous model, and has an engine re-tuned for greater low and mid-range torque.

The V4 engine configuration, which powers this sport-touring machine is unique to Honda and dates back four decades.The 782cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC 90° V4-VTEC engine allows for some great low-end power, but rev it higher and you dig into the VTEC, which will really put a smile on your face.Much like the VTEC in Honda vehicles, VTEC valve timing still operates one pair of inlet/exhaust valves per cylinder at low rpm, and then switches to four as revs rise but the transition is now seamless. The seat is height adjustable (789mm/31-inches or 809mm/31.8-inches) using the tool provided and it weighs in at 239kg (527 lbs.) It’s not a svelte bike by any stretch, so urban riding wasn’t my favourite. But on the open road, it is just a treat.It has an MSRP of $13,499.

NC750XAAh, the NC750XA. A bike I’ve been dying to get on since the NC700s came out two years ago. It’s the more adventurous of two NC models (the S and X), with a taller ride height (830mm/32.6-inches in comparison to 790mm/31.1-inches) and a more upright seating position.This “different” breed of bike isn’t the high redlining sort Honda riders might be used to. It’s ideal for urban romping or a pleasure cruise.For 2014, an extra 75cc capacity was added to the liquid-cooled, SOHC 8-valve parallel twin- cylinder engine.With its engine mounted low to the ground, it naturally equates to a low centre of gravity and an easy-to-move-around type of riding dynamic. Furthermore, you can get upwards of 400km out of the 14L tank. Not bad.And it get’s better.With the fuel tank under the seat, you have that allows for a handy storage compart-ment in place of where you’d normally put in your gas; one of the coolest features of this bike.It has an MSRP of $8,199.

CB500XAOne member of the CB500 trifecta, the 500XA, is a charming little bike that fulfills the idea of owning an adventure-style bike but one that is more manageable for newer riders in the genre. It has a compact adjust-able windscreen, open riding accommoda-tions and large-capacity fuel tank.It has an MSRP of $6,049.

Winds unite tonight at UVicUniversity of Victoria Wind

Symphony and the Naden Band of the Royal Canadian Navy come together tonight at UVic’s Farquhar Auditorium, University of Victoria.

Led by maestros Dr. Gerald King of the UVic Wind Symphony and Lieut. Matthew Clark of the Naden Band, the conductors will swap ensembles throughout the program, which includes works by Jager, Nelson, Zdechlik, and the Canadian premiere of Perrine’s Tears of St. Lawrence.

“This is a rare opportunity for the community to see and hear two outstanding wind bands perform major works independently and together,” said King.

The two groups will band together to tackle larger works including Traveler, by David Maslanka, and Four Scottish Dances, by Malcolm Arnold/John Paynter.

“UVic students have the opportunity to perform alongside professional musicians and Naden musicians have the opportunity to be

mentors, while at the same time be in equal partnership with musicians who will soon enter the professional world of music making,” King said

Proceeds from the concert will benefit the Naden Band of Maritime Forces Pacific Scholarship in Music Performance, awarded annually to second- and third-year School of Music students who demonstrate excellence in brass, woodwind and percussion performance.

The concert starts Friday at 8 p.m. in the University Centre Farquhar Auditorium. Tickets are $10/$15 and available at the door or through the UVic Ticket Centre 250-721-8480 http://tickets.uvic.ca.

“This is a rare opportunity for the community to see and hear two outstanding wind bands perform major works independently and together.”

The Victoria Film Festival’s 2015 FilmCAN competition

for aspiring middle school and high school student filmmakers

is open to budding filmmakers from schools on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands to create a short film, two to five minutes in length. The winning films will be shown prior to a feature film screening at the 2015 Victoria Film Festival taking place Feb. 6 to 15.

“It’s inspiring to see the talent in our region, and FilmCan is an annual showcase of the community’s youngest filmmakers and a glimpse of the future potential for Canadian film,” said Kathy Kay, festival director.

Last year’s junior category winner, Carson Freeman, won a scholarship to the Gulf Island Film and Television School while the senior category winner, Olivia Sorley, won a fully loaded, 27-inch iMac computer and a yearlong, unlimited subscription to Adobe Creative Suite and Cloud service. The 2015 FilmCAN prizes will be announced at a later date, but include a yearlong subscription to the Adobe Creative Cloud.

Entrants must currently attend school on Vancouver

Island or the Gulf Islands to qualify for one of two age categories: Juniors, Grade 8 and younger; and Seniors, Grades 9 through 12. The videos must be between two and five minutes in length, including credits. Submission for the 2015 FilmCAN competition must be uploaded to Vimeo and added to the FilmCAN group by 11:59 p.m. Dec. 21.

Demand for a hot meal and warm shel-ter at Our Place has almost doubled in the last two months.

In October alone, Our Place served more than 58,000 meals – a 62-per-cent increase from the previous year. And it’s not slow-ing down, said Grant McKenzie, Our Place director of communi-cations.

Already in Novem-ber, Our Place is set-ting new records on a daily basis for the number of meals served.

Our Place has recently extended its hours until 9 p.m., seven days per week, to meet demand dur-ing the winter.

McKenzie said part of the reason for the increase has been the extension of hours, but also the reduction of services at other social services agen-cies such as the Sal-vation Army and the Mustard Seed.

“We are seeing a lot of new faces,” said Don Evans, executive director of Our Place.

“The cold weather plays its part, but we’re also seeing more low-income peo-ple, seniors, working poor, and those with mental and physical disabilities, seeking out help because their cheque can’t stretch far enough to pro-vide both shelter and meals.”

Our Place operates on an annual $1 mil-lion budget to provide meals and, but that is eaten up quickly with the influx of new cli-ents, McKenzie said.

“Our staff is work-ing extra hard to make sure everyone gets a hot meal in a safe

place,” he said.Our Place feeds

between 500 to 800 people a day.

McKenzie said donations are always welcome, especially cash. But clothing, such as jackets, socks and gloves are also needed.

“We are very grateful to have such generous supporters who are making it possible for us to keep our doors open,” said Evans.

In addition to pro-viding meals, Our Place provides 45 tran-sitional housing units, hot showers, free clothing, counselling and outreach services.

To donate, please go online to ourplaceso-ciety.com or call 250-388-7112.

Our Place serves a record number of meals in October

Thyroid Support

As recommended by Dr. Gifford-Jones M. D. Helps to reduce the time it takes to fall a sleep. In mostcases also stops snoring and gasping for air (sleep apnea) first night. Stops torturing your partner allnight. Good sleep prevents being tired next day. Tired people work only at half capacity. What people truly experience: < I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested andrefreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH < Sleep apnea capsules worked firstnight! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I couldnot use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable.Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS < For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air.During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell#23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson,

MS <It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wifesays there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or rightwith no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problemsto try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON.

For many parents whose children have grown up and moved out, they are left with a big house to themselves and are looking for a change. Making the decision to downsize and leave the family home can be daunting for some, but local experts say it does not have to be with the right help and information.

“It’s just such a daunting process,” said Joanne Brodersen, a realtor with DFH Real Estate. “[But] it’s not as scary as it seems. With the right people helping you, that transition can be made much more smoothly than it appears at first.”

Besides the physical aspect of moving, Brodersen said the emotional aspect is often a factor as well, in terms of memories associated with the home. She advises going through items in the home and deciding what can be given away and what should stay when looking to move to a smaller place.

“There’s so many people that can use those things that are sitting in your house that have been collecting dust for the last 20 years because no one’s used them.”

Bill Ethier, managing

broker president of Royal Lepage Coast Capital Realty, said one of the main challenges for many people who are downsizing is being used to the amount of space they had before.

He said most people who downsize are going from a single family home to a condo.

“It’s easier to go up in space because you acquire more stuff as you move up, but going down it’s making

the decision of what to eliminate from your life.”

Another challenge for some people is having unrealistic expectations of how much space they can get within their budget, said Ethier. He said people often wonder how they are going to live in a much smaller home.

“Get out there and look at properties and do comparisons and get an idea of what a square footage is,” said Ethier.

He added buyers should measure the rooms in their own homes in order to be able to compare it to homes they are looking to move into.

Last month, Brodersen organized a downsizing seminar, where people who were looking for more information and advice were able to come and hear from multiple speakers, including herself, a mortgage specialist and a financial planner.

Another seminar will be held on Nov. 29 from 2-4 p.m. in the seniors wing of Cedar Hill Rec, 3220 Cedar Hill Rd.

“We find so many people are thirsty for this information,” said Brodersen. “If you know how it’s going to go, it’s not quite so frightening.”

It’s near freezing outside and four teenaged track cyclists dressed in riding spandex are doing their best to keep warm inside a heated training tent.

The group, including 15-year-old Saanich residents Erik Diertens and Erin Attwell, who compete this weekend at the 2014 Junior National Track Cycling

Championships in Burnaby, are on bikes attached to wind trainers that allow them to ride in place.

At one point, the frigid wind gusting outside threatens to carry the tents away, leaving Diertens and fellow junior rider Riley Pickrell, 13, to reach up and hang on while continuing to ride.

Ah, the joys of winter training in Victoria.

While only the most hardy are here on this day, Triple Shot Racing club coach Lister Farrar says the Victoria Velodrome Association’s member clubs have upwards of 60 young riders in various stages of development.

“The next stage for us is to get local

competition for them,” he says.Farrar, who was named Cycling B.C.’s

Youth Coach of the Year this summer for his work promoting the sport and helping train area youth, says some riders make their way up the competitive ladder rather quickly, while others are content to ride for exercise and the social aspects of club riding.

Diertens, a member of the ProCity Racing club, and Attwell, who rides for Tripleshot, are among 11 riders from Vancouver Island who are part of Team B.C. competing in Burnaby.

Others riders from Capital Region clubs who will be competing this weekend (with club listed) include Saanich residents Clara Mackenzie (Local Ride) and Eloi Battista (Pacific Cycling Centre), Victoria’s Trevor Stothart (Red Truck), Esquimalt’s John Wilcox (ProCity) and Oak Bay’s Rachel Carey (Vancouver Island Youth Performance Racing Squad).

Former University of Victoria student-athlete Laura Brown, who won a silver medal in the team pursuit event at

the 2014 UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Colombia earlier this year, was on hand last weekend to speak at the Greater Victoria Velodrome Association’s annual general meeting with fellow national teamer Gillian Carleton.

She also led a spin class for junior riders and was at the velodrome Saturday morning to offer her guidance to the young riders. The native of Calgary is impressed with the number of teens taking up track riding and other disciplines.

“The more kids on bikes, the better,” she says. “It creates a fun training atmosphere.”

The weekend competition, held on the steeply banked track at the Burnaby Velodrome, will include an omnium. Track cycling’s version of the heptathlon, the omnium is designed to create generalists among developing racers, Farrar says. The weekend also includes events for match sprints, Keirin sprint, team sprints and team pursuit.

Researchers explore the deep at WillowsJoin researchers from the Royal BC

Museum, as they conduct an evening beach seine at Willows Beach Saturday night.

As many as 20 species of fish, crabs, shrimp and other invertebrates will be brought in using a large net, so everyone will get an up-close look at what lives beneath the waves. Participants will be involved at various stages of the sampling, so dress appropriately (gumboots,

raingear) and wear a headlamp/bring a flashlight.

Nikki Wright from SeaChange Marine Conservation Society will be on hand to explain the importance of eelgrass habitat, and ongoing eelgrass mapping and restoration efforts within the region. Meet on the north end of Willows Beach Nov. 22 at 8 p.m. and expect to be there a couple of hours, no matter the weather.

Teamwork. It can be a powerful thing when the people and groups involved in a project or trying to achieve a common goal are all pulling in the same direction.

An initiative launched by Country Grocer, in partnership with the Royal LePage Shelter Foun-dation and Creekmore Coffee, sees these three groups working together to expand the reach of charity dollars provided to women’s shelters and transition houses on Vancouver Island.

The month-long fundraiser combines people’s love of coffee; a distribution method and an opportunity to help fund services for women on the Island. Now until Dec. 13, $3 from every bag of Creek-more’s Coffee Country Roaster blend will be directly shared between 10 facilities in Island communities from Courtenay to Ucluelet to Greater Victoria.

Bill Ethier, president and managing broker for Royal LePage Coast Capital Realty, says provid-ing financial assistance to transition houses is an extension of what agents do on a regular basis.

He describes that by way of offering the his-tory of the Foundation. That organization emerged from a national survey the company undertook with its agents in 1998, when it asked what types of charity or fundraising ideas realtors would be interested in contributing to as a group.

“Homelessness rose to the top and the company began looking at it on a national level,” Ethier says.

What came through in his conversations with agents on Vancouver Island was that the most important aspect of their job is to provide people with a home. Ideally, they hope those homes are filled with love and companionship, but that isn’t always the case, he says.

“If a home isn’t happy, if there’s intimidation or abuse happening, the home isn’t happy anymore.”

The prevalence of family violence and abuse, not just in areas of the world where women are oppressed, but close to home, can be an eye-opener for people not exposed to such issues, Ethier says.

“There is still that lack of respect for women, and the children are the innocent victims in all of this. They’re victims of a power struggle in the home,” he says. “This happens in our own back-yard, not just in other parts of the world.”

Greater Victoria Royal LeP-age agents and staff have worked with area transition houses for the past decade, via the Foundation. Looking at the scope of family violence and abuse, Ethier and other Royal LePage professionals pursued the idea of expand-ing the reach of their ongoing fundraising efforts.

“With the Royal LePage offices themselves being located on the South Island,

we’ve focused on four shelters. With the ability of Country Grocer to come on board, and Creekmore Coffee … we’re going to be able to raise more money as a group,” he says.

“It’s an Island thing, it’s a national thing, it’s not just a Victoria thing.”

Tammy Averill, marketing manager for Country Grocer, says it’s very rare to have three Island orga-nizations come together working for one cause.

“This is a new avenue for community involve-ment for Country Grocer,” she says. The chain had worked with Ethier on a previous unrelated campaign and didn’t hesitate when he asked them to get on board again, Averill says.

Dave Creekmore, whose company has supplied Country Grocer for many years and does a lot of work within its community of Coombs and Parks-ville, is pleased Royal LePage would want to part-ner up with them on a local initiative.

“This is a project that is good for everybody,” he says. “It’s nice to work Island-wide and do things on a grassroots level.”

LOCAL UPDATE

Services available for women in crisisGreater Victoria is serviced by a variety of transition houses and

emergency shelters for women who may be escaping abusive or vio-lent situations.

The Royal LePage Foundation works with four of those organiza-tions: the Cridge Centre for the Family’s Cridge Transition House for Women, Victoria Women’s Transition House Society, Sooke Transition House Society, and Margaret Laurence House, which is operated by the Greater Victoria Women’s Shelter Society.

The Victoria Women’s Transition House Society, founded in 1974, temporarily housed 129 women and 59 children in 2013, and its volunteers answered 2,037 calls to its 24-hour crisis line. Hundreds more women were helped through programs operated or supported by the society. Among those are the Stopping the Violence counsel-ling, Spousal Assault Victim Support program and specialized senior women’s programs.

The Cridge Transition House, formerly Hill House, offers a safe emergency shelter, supportive counselling, connections to commu-nity supports, support designed to meet the needs of children, and provides opportunities to support and be supported by other women experiencing similar situations.

The Sooke Transition House Society, at Annie’s Place, provides emergency shelter for women and children in crisis resulting from family violence. It also offers counselling programs including Stop-ping the Violence, and Children Who Witness Abuse, in Sooke and Port Renfrew.
