Workforcehousing comes to SidneySteven HeywoodNews staff

Workforce housing may soon come to Sidney if a proposal by the Greater Victoria Rental Devel-opment Society (GVRDS) gets off the ground.

The GVRDS presented their plans to council and to the public for the first time on Monday, June 1. The Society is considering buying the Town-owned parking lot on Third Street next to the fire hall. On that site they are proposing a six-storey building consisting of commercial space on the ground and first floors and 52 one-or two-bedroom residential units on the remain-ing four floors.

The Society met initially with the municipal-ity at an in-camera session at the end of April to discuss their idea.

“In this case, this proposal has come into the public view very quickly,” says Councillor Peter Wainwright.

He noted that some of the negotiations, spe-cifically a land value appraisal and sales price discussions between the two parties, will remain out of the public eye but the rest should be dis-cussed openly.

The GVRDS is asking for some big conces-sions from the municipality in order to make their project work. To be able to keep unit costs down and ensure people who qualify for work-force or affordable housing can actually afford it, the Society is asking Sidney to drop its property tax levy on the site for 10 years. They are also asking the Town to waive zoning, development and building permit fees, as well as development cost charge fees.

Vitamin C and Lysine for Heart Health and More...

Seventeen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs (CLD’s). Instead, knowing the research on vitamin C and lysine, as well as the side-effects of CLD’s, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal.Medi-C Plus™, with vitamin C and lysine, is available at health food stores and select natural pharmacies. The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop with breakfast and the evening meal. I do not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. This is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors. As for me – I bet my life on vitamin C and lysine and I’m glad I did! I turned 91 this year and still write a weekly column and travel across Canada speaking on the benefits of healthy living. To join me on the road go to: www.docgiff.com

His medical column is published by over 50 Canadian newspapers, several in the U.S., and the Epoch Times. He is the author of 9 books including his most recent 90+ How I Got There in which he discusses the “do’s and don’ts” of reaching the age of wisdom. Among his great advice, he writes of the many unsung health benefits of high doses of vitamin C and lysine and how it and other tips can help you, too, reach 90+!

Denis Paquette may see his decade-long vision for a grand direc-tional sign come to frui-tion yet.

The owner of the Sidney Waterfront Inn has been trying to see changes in the wel-come and directional signage in the Town of Sidney — especially at the Town’s interna-tional ferry terminal —

for years. He had even taken it upon himself to at one time revise exist-ing signs, in an attempt to direct visitors into Sidney proper, instead of bypassing the com-munity.

On Monday night, his dream for a sign that better directs visitors into the community moved a big step closer to reality.

Yet even Paquette would admit that his goal for a wayfinding

sign at the Anacortes Ferry terminal could have gone by the way-side again.

Sidney town council had considered drop-ping the project from its budget this year and re-allocating $15,000 in its economic development fund to a new plan to build a pedestrian shel-ter in park space next to the terminal.

Paquette made a last-minute plea to speak with council Monday night at their commit-tee meeting. He admit-ted that the group he was working with on designs had dragged its feet on an updated model that was less expensive than their first option from a few months ago.

However, their latest design was less expen-sive — yet Paquette said it, at between $25,000 and $27,000 — is still expected to exceed the Town’s bud-get of $15,000.

“It’s achievable,” he said.

Mayor Steve Price suggested that the price tag would be too high and that Town staff should search for other sources of money within the budget to pay for the sign. Price asked that the $15,000 be re-allocated to the shelter project.

Councillor Peter Wainwright, however, said he was not com-

fortable with using eco-nomic development money for a shelter which has almost no relationship to that portfolio.

“I feel a shelter is not an economic develop-ment function,” he said, suggesting that staff look to the budget sur-plus fund to cover the cost of the shelter.

Wainwright added he was okay with using the $15,000 already ear-marked for the sign for its intended purpose.

While it was noted the proposed sign was more expensive than planned, councillors felt both the munici-pality and perhaps the business community could step up to pay the balance.

“We need to have a proper sign up there,” said Coun. Barbara Fal-lot. “I’d rather find the money for it, than for the shelter.”

Price asked if the sign’s price range was firm and Paquette assured him it was.

Council voted to keep the money allocated to the sign — and start work on it this year — and come up with an estimated $12,000 out of surplus of contin-gency funds.

The shelter, too, is expected to be com-pleted this year as part of park and sidewalk upgrades along First Street.

New welcome sign may finally see the light of day

Re: Quash the anti-noise bylaw, PNR May 27, 2015.

It is unfortunate that noise legisla-tion is needed in the first place.

But with the advent of cheap leaf blowers, chain saws, gas weed eaters, hedge trimmers, high lift mowers, pressure washers and jack hammers, combined with municipal governments’ push toward densi-fication, those very governments must ensure that excessive noise is restricted to certain designated periods of the week.

Noise (unwanted sound) is insideous and knows no property bounds. It has been linked to many

stress related disorders and in this climate where windows are open year ‘round, there simply is no way of escaping the noise made by an unobservant insensitive neighbour.

I sympathize with Mr. Lam’s situ-ation, but we’re all in this together and all of us must somehow coop-erate in allowing hard workin’ busy guys like Roger Lam to get his yard fixed up without driving other hard workin’ busy guys like me, crazy.

I understand why North Saan-ich had to make this bylaw and I applaud it, but if we looked out for our neighbours a little better, we wouldn’t need such legislation.

So next time, take a reading on the ‘hood’ and think before you pull that start cord.

A reconciliation we can all do

After six years, countless tears and thousands of emotional accountings of residential school experiences, the national Truth and Reconciliation Commission report is out.

Rather than making broad-based, sweeping recommendations that are more a state of mind, the report makes nearly 100 specific action points aimed at such things as helping aboriginal people recapture their culture, educating the general population about the country’s aboriginal heritage and creating government policies and programs designed to enhance our understanding of the importance of that heritage and the distinctiveness of Canada’s aboriginal people.

The phrase “cultural genocide” was introduced as a way to describe the systematic removal of aboriginal children from their homes and families and the residential school system’s abhorrent strategy of “taking the Indian out Indians.” It was an attempt to sever the cultural connection that saw aboriginal elders and heads of families pass on their language and other traditional heritage to younger generations.

In the 1960s, leaders in Quebec sought to have their province’s “distinct society” – its majority French-speaking population, unique culture and civil law tradition – officially recognized by the government of Canada. Two attempts to entrench such uniqueness failed, as have subsequent referendums on separation. Nonetheless, Quebec and its uniqueness in this country are today recognized as an integral part of Canada’s heritage and cultural makeup. The same recognition must be afforded Canada’s First Nations. Fortunately, work has begun, little by little, to acknowledge aboriginal distinctiveness in Canadian life.

Righting past wrongs will take more than simply throwing money at the problem of residual anger and shame over residential school abuses. It will take further inclusionary practices and action by individuals just as much as by governments.

Rather than making statements like “What does this have to do with me?” or, “It wasn’t my parents or grandparents who did that,” we all need to ask ourselves, “what can I do personally to change the way I feel about aboriginal people in my community?” It’s a matter of systemically re-imagining the relationship between aboriginal and non-aboriginal people on a personal, individual level. It’s about treating all people as fellow human beings, free of judgment, with respect.

It’s something we can all do. — Black Press

I just can’t tell you how the sick feelings and tears I had were turned to joy. A big thank you to all my neighbours as well, who were also out looking for Rocky, who is sitting at my feet while I write this!

Why do so many investors con-tinue to hold

mutual funds, despite long-term evidence of their consistent under-performance?

Once again, Standard & Poor’s Indexes Ver-sus Active Scorecard (SPIVA) has released its findings for Cana-dian funds for the year ended Dec. 31, 2014. While the entire report can be accessed online, the following is a brief summary:

• In 2014, only 26.47% of Canadian active equity fund manag-ers outperformed the S&P/TSX Index. Over the past five years the rate of outperformance dropped to 20%.

• Among active man-agers in the Canadian Dividend & Income Equity sector only 6.67% beat the com-parable Canadian Divi-dend Aristocrats Index in 2014. Zero percent of the active managers beat the Index over the past five years.

• In the U.S. Equity sector, only 11.1% of active funds beat the S&P 500 Index. Over five years the rate

of outperformance declined to 2.90%.

• In the International Equity sector, 30% of active funds beat the Index in 2014; only 13.16% did so over five years.

While the specific performance numbers vary each year, the historical trend-line remains unchanged. Every year, in every major market sector, the average mutual fund underperforms its comparable Index. The poor average per-formance in any single year deteriorates fur-ther when compared over five years.

Many investors remain unaware of both the significant fees they currently pay on their portfolios, and the high-likelihood of their mutual funds signifi-cantly underperform-ing their index bench-marks.

The mutual fund industry’s dismal track record continues to be accepted by millions of Canadians. The real beneficiaries of this strategy continue to be primarily the fund pro-viders, and the invest-ment advisers selling

mutual funds to a gen-erally under-informed public.

Yes, mutual funds are a convenient vehicle for achieving broad diver-sification. And yes, it is convenient to rely on an investment house to hold the investments and provide periodic reports to the investor. But, is this convenience worth the high annual fees and consistently poor performance?

Ten or 15 years ago, investors wishing to achieve broad diversi-fication in their invest-ments had little choice but to choose mutual funds and to accept their high fees.

Today however, sev-eral major options exist. Very low-cost Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and Index Funds are available,

often at less than one fifth the cost of mutual funds. Neither of these options strive to beat the chosen Index — rather, they simply track it, usually with minimal tracking error.

The significance of a 2% reduction in annual holding costs is dra-matic. It is equivalent to improving portfolio performance by 2%.

With the average annual total return of Canadian equity mar-kets over the last ten years averaging approx-imately 8%, a compara-ble mutual fund would have needed to out-perform the market by roughly 25% annually, in order for the investor to simply break even with the Index.

As the SPIVA reports have repeatedly dem-onstrated, beating the market by this margin, on a consistent basis, is almost impossible.

A partial solution to this problem will be welcome after July 1, 2016 when fee struc-tures must become more transparent.

New regulations will require full and clear disclosure by mutual

fund salespersons, of all fees embedded in each fund, and of his/her per-sonal benefit from the fees charged. The dis-closures will come as a shock to many inves-tors, likely accelerating the already-emerging shift to less expensive options.

Saving for invest-ment is a long and chal-lenging exercise for

most of us. Before investing

those savings for our long-term future, it makes sense to thor-oughly understand the pros and cons of any investment, and to make a fully-informed decision.

Based on all avail-able evidence to-date, mutual funds would be at the bottom of my

personal investment choices.

VICTORIA — Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) at the Univer-sity of Victoria and the Pacific Salmon Foun-dation (PSF) are team-ing up with citizen scientists to increase the quality and range of oceanographic data being collected through a new mobile app called Community Fishers.

The app, developed by ONC, allows fishers and volunteer citizens participating in PSF’s citizen science pro-gram to collect data and upload it to ONC’s world-leading data management system, Oceans 2.0.

From there, the data is archived, processed and visualized for sci-entists and the public around the world.

“We’re thrilled that ONC can exercise its ocean innovation mus-cles to fill this gap in technology,” says Kate Moran, president and CEO of ONC.

“This app has the potential to greatly increase the volume of ocean data essential for responsible ocean man-agement.”

The app sits on a tab-let or smart phone and collects data any place at any time, which the operator transfers via Wi-Fi to Oceans 2.0.

The citizen scien-tists include active and retired fishermen, vessel operators from Vancouver Island Uni-versity, and other local mariners.

As part of the U.S.-Canada Salish Sea Marine Survival Proj-ect, the PSF is lead-ing Canadian efforts in the Strait of Geor-gia to understand the causes of declines in coho and chinook salmon. It has rigged nine small privately owned boats with Wi-Fi enabled instruments to continuously measure water variables such as temperature salin-ity and oxygen content

throughout the Strait of Georgia and Juan de Fuca Strait.

Ocean Networks Canada built the app to automatically handle time synchronization, GPS location tracking, simple wireless trans-fer of data, and much more.

“To understand what’s limiting Pacific salmon abundance in the Salish Sea, we need a large amount of very detailed data over an extensive period of time and covering a large geographic area,” says Brian Riddell, president and CEO of PSF. “This partner-ship will provide the professional collating and processing of data essential to the success of our program.”

The Town of Sidney’s plans for a commu-nity safety building to

replace its current fire hall, will go to a public open house on June 23.

Council this week authorized Town staff to hire Bradley Shuya Architects Inc. to act as project lead and to start preparation of a bylaw to allow the Town to seek a loan for the project.

In a report, staff out-lined the long-term

costs to the munici-pality of borrowing between $5 and $8 mil-lion. The report also outlined the progress on the file to date, as well as a timeline that includes estimated project completion in 2018.

Sidney is currently in negotiations with the B.C. Ambulance Service on having the current

ambulance station on Third Street move into the community safety building.

Sidney is also wait-ing for the confirma-tion that the society that operates the Mary Winspear Centre will be able to enter into a 75-year lease on the property.

The open house this month will present the

plans for the building itself, as well as overall site plans and project progress through the municipality.

The June 23 open house runs from 3 to 8 p.m. at the Mary Win-spear Centre.

More information on the community safety building project can be found on the Town’s website, sidney.ca.

On Monday night, council voted to have Town staff begin negoti-ations with the Society.

During their discus-sion on the proposal, a majority of council indicated they like the plan, yet all had some concerns with various aspects of it.

Parking, especially, was at the top of that list.

Under the GVRDS plan, the 50-stall park-ing lot would be replaced by the build-ing, and 40-stall under-ground lot.

This would require the Town to waive its parking requirements. A staff report noted this decline in the amount of parking spaces in that area might be supple-mented by a proposed car sharing program by the GVRDS.

“I hope that we can

look at options to increase walking in Sid-ney,” said Coun. Bar-bara Fallot, who won-dered if the municipal-ity might be able to piggyback on the pro-posed underground parking area.

“If a hole is being dug already (for under-ground parking), is it possible to go deeper?”

Town Chief Admin-istrative Officer Randy Humble said its might be hard to justify the cost to the municipality to add another level of parking.

He added that in his view, underground parking for the public is a last resort.

Coun. Tim Chad said he’s fine with fewer parking spaces down-town and that was echoed by Mayor Steve Price.

“We need to wean people off of parking downtown,” Price said,

indicating the Town is currently exploring the creation of a large lot south of the Mary Winspear Centre and encouraging employ-ees to use it.

“The Town will have parking options,” Price continued, “just not in the downtown core. That’s the way it’s going to be ... you don’t necessarily get to park where you want to.”

Wainwright expects this proposal will gen-erate a lot of discussion in the community.

“It is a six-storey building,” he noted, “plus (the GVRDS) is looking for a lot of breaks. We have to look at its overall merits.

“I don’t know that we have any of this kind of housing in Sidney,” Wainwright continued.

The 52 units in the proposal would always remain affordable, say the proponents.

With four other workforce or affordable housing projects either built or in stream, the GVRDS bases their prices on the current Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) affordability standard. The maxi-mum household annual income that might qual-ity for one of the units would be $65,000.

Rental unit prices would be based on 30 per cent of a person’s income and the GVRDS would enter into agree-

ments that would see this affordability be maintained in perpetu-ity.

GVRDS spokesper-son Alanna Holroyd said they are working to keep costs down to maintain the low cost to their customers.

She added the Soci-ety feels that without the tax break and lift-ing of fees, they would not be able to afford to buy the land from the municipality at a fair market value, or even build the project.

Council unanimously voted to have Town staff start the land appraisal process and negotiations for the sale of the parking lot. Before further deci-sions are made, coun-cil will receive a staff report on those talks, as well as information on the scope of tax and other cost breaks being afforded the project.

Sidney & North SaanichThe following incidents occurred May 29:

• An 18-year-old man was arrested and held in custody for allegedly breaching his probation order four times. The probation order was issued May 13 for a conditional sentence the teenager received after being convicted of Mischief, Utter-ing Threats and Breach of Undertaking. • Police arrested a 28-year-old woman for

allegedly assaulting a 35-year-old man. RCMP are recommending domestic assault charges against the woman. • A driver who allegedly damaged another

vehicle while leaving a parking lot near Capital Iron in Sidney has prompted a warning from police.

The driver drove off but witnesses reported her licence plate and RCMP were able to track her down. The woman claimed she was not aware she had struck the other vehicle. The incident is a reminder, police said, that there are legal obligations if you collide with another vehicle. You must provide your name and con-

tact information and pertinent details about your vehicle and the incident and leave them at the scene if the owner of the other vehicle cannot be located.

• Police are investigating an alleged domes-tic assault after coming across an intoxicated woman with dried blood on her face in Sidney.

The woman, who told police she had been punched by an ex-boyfriend, was taken to Saa-nich Peninsula Hospital.

• Police are hoping to speak with anyone with information about an alleged indecent act com-mitted by a man aboard the 72 bus in Sidney about 6 p.m., May 29.

Contact Sidney RCMP at 250 656-3931.

• A vehicle parked on Stautw Road had its window damaged after someone forced their way in to search for valuables.

May 31: • Police are investigating the theft of digi-

tal equipment from Island Cruising, a business located on 4th Street, after a break in occurred overnight on May 31.

SIDNEY — An event to cele-brate Abbeyfield Week in Sidney takes place next week at the Star Cinema.

Held every second week in June, Abbeyfield Week cele-brates being a part of the com-munity. Abbeyfield House itself hosts an open house on Sat., June 13 from 2 to 4 p.m. at their location, 10017 Fifth St.

The facility has been provid-ing affordable housing for inde-pendant seniors for 28 years. It is a non-profit organization man-aged by a volunteer board.

The Abbeyfield movement

was founded in England in 1956 and there are now hundreds of Abbeyfield Houses in countries throughout the world.

Abbeyfield House has teamed up with Sidney’s Star Cinema owner Sandy Oliver to present a special movie event — featuring a live presentation afterwards.

On June 13, Star Cinema presents the 2001 British com-edy Greenfingers, starring Clive Owen, Helen Mirren and David Kelly. Witness the surprising and inspiring effect gardening has on prison life.

Following the movie, Linda

Petite, head gardener at the Hor-ticultural Centre of the Pacific, will deliver a presentation on container gardening.

The Star Cinema event is Fri., June 12 from 1:30 to 4 p.m. at 9842 Third St.

Tickets are $5 each and avail-able at Tanner’s Books or Star Cinema. People are asked to bring a donation for the Sidney Lions Food Bank and all prof-its from the event will go to the food bank.

For details, call Linda at 250-479-01113 or Star Cinema, 250-655-3384. — Submitted

Leeroy Stagger among entertainers on stageJim ZeebenNews staff

This Saturday marks the 19th annual Brentwood Bay Festival. In some ways, this event has played a key role in helping shape the community into the centre it is today.

“It started with a small group — literally a very small group — at Pioneer Park in the middle of Brentwood,” says Dan Gentile, a longtime

resident of the area who has watched the festival grow.

“It was just hot dogs and there was no stage or enter-tainment.”

Today, as many as 5,000 people take in the parade, which begins at 10 a.m. from Bayside Middle School and winds past Wallace Drive and

up West Saanich Road to Ver-dier Avenue.

The festival officially starts at 8 a.m., June 6, with the Cen-tral Saanich Lions Pancake Breakfast in Pioneer Park.

The festival is organized by the Brentwood Bay Commu-nity Association, which until recently was known as the Brentwood Bay Revitalization Committee.

Entertainers on the main stage (from 11:15 a.m. until 2:30 p.m.) include Paul Hann, Pony Club, Pearls of the South Pacific and Leeroy Stagger.

There will also be face paint-ing, art in the park, mini-golf and a petting zoo from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

• 8 a.m.: Pancake Breakfast in Pioneer Park• 10 a.m.: Parade begins at Bayside Middle School• Noon: Clown walkabout with Tickles and Yowza

SIDNEY — Elizabeth May, Member of Parlia-ment for Saanich-Gulf Islands and Leader of the Green Party of Can-ada is holding a series of town halls through-out the riding in June and July — and only one on the Saanich Pen-insula during that time.

Town halls will be held in: Pender Island, Saturna Island, Salt Spring Island, Galiano Island, North Saanich, Saanich and Mayne Island.

Due to the pending election this fall, May is changing the normal schedule of town halls.

Normally this round would have occurred between Labour Day and mid-September.

Her staff report that it has been difficult to find venues and for May to be in Parliament during the week days in June.

“We apologize for

any confusion as the timing and venues are different from the rou-tine established over the last 4 years,” stated an email from the MP’s office.

For more about

upcoming town halls visit elizabethmaymp.ca/summer-town-halls or call the constituency office in Sidney at 250-657-2000.

North SaanichSaturday, June 20,

10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the North Saanich Middle School gymna-sium, 10400 McDonald Park Rd.

Travis Paterson News staff

At just 12-weeks-old, Polly rings a bell and calmly waits for her chance to go outside to relieve herself.

The golden labrador is in the guiding hands of Saanich couple Vic Gnaedinger and Susan Frizzell. The goal is to graduate Polly through the B.C. & Alberta Guide Dogs program as an autism support dog or guide dog.

Polly was at the cen-tre of attention last week in front of the Children’s Health Foun-dation office, as the Saanich-based organi-zation donated $15,000 to the B.C. Guide Dogs program. In turn, the Children’s Health Foun-dation were given the opportunity to name Polly.

“We chose the name for one of the first chil-dren Queen Alexandra Solarium treated at the original Mill Bay loca-tion in the 1920s,” said CEO Linda Hughes of Children’s Health Foun-dation. “In those days, the focus was tubercu-losis and polio. It just goes to show you how the needs of children have changed.”

The solarium relo-cated to Saanich in the 1950s and the Chil-dren’s Health Founda-tion came after that.

It’s the first time Friz-

zell and Gnaedinger have raised a dog. They were drawn to the idea

because of Gnaeding-er’s visually impaired niece, who has ben-

efited from her guide dog.

“We are really enjoy-

ing it, this might become a regular thing for us,” Frizzell said. “There’s a lot of fun to it, Polly has regular playmates with her brother Carl who is just down the road from us.”

This year, a grant proposal by the B.C. Guide Dogs caught CHF’s attention.

“We’ve moved from

supporting adults to also supporting youth and children, and this is the first year we’ve received funding from Children’s Health Foun-dation,” said CEO Will Thornton of B.C. & Alberta Guide Dogs. “We have two whole teams of guide dogs graduation soon which are supported by Chil-

dren’s Health.”Autism support dogs

help facilitate daily life skills and provide com-fort and security to chil-dren with autism. The dog prevents the child from suddenly running or wandering off, and reduces stress, anxiety and frustration levels of the child. The dogs also help in social settings.

Guide dogs increasingly helping children, teens

Travis Paterson/News staff

Vic Gnaedringer and Susan Frizzell show off Polly the puppy on the grounds of the Queen Alexandra Centre for Children’s Health in Saanich. Polly, who is named after one of the first children Queen Alexandra Solarium treated at the original Mill Bay location in the 1920s, will be raised as a guide dog to assist an autistic teen.

Butterfly Ball raises record donations for CHFChildren’s Health Foundation held its seventh annual Butterfly Ball,

for father and daughter, and raised the most to date: $44,000.The ball was held on May 2 at the Victoria Marriott Inner Harbour

and tickets sold out in less than a week. Dinner, dancing, games and a live and silent auction made up the evening. The event included a personal story shared by a local family of how support from the foundation has made a difference to them.

The Butterfly Ball has now generated over $185,000 in support of children and youth with disabilities and health challenges across Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. The money supports child and youth mental health, the Queen Alexandra Summer Camp, the purchase of therapeutic equipment, Jeneece Place and the Bear Essentials Program, which helps families cover costs related to their children’s medical care. — Saanich News/Black Press

GRADS AHEAD

A Fitting moniker for this Honda

‘‘The Fit is a joy to drive and has flair in the looks department.’’Alexandra Straub

What’s in a name? Quite a lot in the auto industry.If a vehicle is “improperly” titled, the remnants of those poorly made boardroom decisions will likely survive the ages. It’ll not only find ridicule on enthusiast sites, like “Top 10 Worst Car Names,” but it can serve as a case study on what NOT to call a vehicle.Then there are the cases where you get it spot on. Some cars don’t even need a formal introduction. Meaning, you don’t have to say the automaker beforehand like: Mustang, Integra, Gallardo, Gremlin. Think of it as the automotive equivalent to Cher, Beyoncé, or Madonna.To add to the list hits, there’s the Fit. The 2015 Honda Fit. Probably one of the most appropriately named cars on the planet. It’s ripe with play-on-word puns and scenarios.Heck, I could spend the better part of the review focus-ing on just that but don’t worry, I won’t. It truly is a car that can fit into your everyday reper-toire and with a fitting starting price of $14,495 (plus a $1,995 destination charge).It does so many things well. Sure, it’s a small vehicle, but there is room for five inside and an amazing amount of storage space. There’s 470L with the rear seats up and 1,492L with the seats folded down. And those rear seats fold flat. Flat as in flat as a pancake. An added bonus is that the bumper/trunk isn’t particu-larly high off the ground. So if you have trouble lifting larger or heavier items up, this will be a welcome perk.Though my road bicycle isn’t particularly heavy, it is awkward. But when placing it inside the Fit, its wide trunk opening, low seats and fold flat features got a 10/10 in my books.

Then there’s how it drives. All Fits are powered by a 1.5L, 4-cylinder, i-VTEC engine producing 130 horsepower and 114 lb-ft of torque.It’s small but mighty and can be paired with either a six-speed manual or a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). While I’d normally sing praises about the manual – I still will because it is easy to work with and gear throws are well balanced – the CVT is very good. For the days when you happen to be in traffic, the CVT is even better!The tailoring of the Fit is also another one of its high points. It has grown up, and embodies sleek lines that were of-

ten reserved for higher-end cars. The interior and I have a love/hate relationship. I am definitely not a fan of the touchscreen in the EX-L Navi trim. That’s because you have to control pretty much everything from it, except the climate.I will give it style points because the centre stack is streamlined and easy on the eyes. But I like a combi-nation of buttons and gauges when it comes to controlling the audio, navigation, system settings and more. It’s a personal preference so

I’m not saying there is anything fundamentally wrong with this setup. It’s just not my first choice.That said, it’s not a deal breaker. Bluetooth comes standard on all models; so do power windows. And of course, the aforementioned Magic Seats, which allow you to configure the cabin in ways that will astonish you.On the road, the Fit also shines.A roomy cabin, combined with enhanced NVH proper-ties so road noises are kept at bay make for a serene environment.Its electric power-assisted rack and pinion steering (EPS) move the Fit in and out of tight spots with ease and little effort. Though at highway speeds, you still feel connected to the car. Its charm extends much further than its practical characteristics. The Fit is a joy to drive and has flair in the looks department. Overall, the Fit fits well with me and I’m very happy about that.

Giving away the company’s secretsBy Keith Morgan

Ford is opening its port-folio of electrified vehicle technology patents to competitive automakers to accelerate industry-wide research and development of electrified vehicles.In 2014, Ford filed for 400-plus electrified vehicle patents – more than 20 percent of the total patents the company applied for last year “Innovation is our goal,” said Kevin Layden, director, Ford Electrification Pro-grams. “The way to provide the best technology is through constant devel-opment and progress. By sharing our research with other companies, we will accelerate the growth of electrified vehicle technol-ogy and deliver even better products to customers.”Ford Motor Company

currently offers six hybrid or fully electrified vehi-cles including Ford Focus Electric, Ford Fusion Hybrid, Ford Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid, Ford C-MAX Hybrid, Ford C-MAX Energi plug-in hybrid and Lincoln MKZ Hy-brid. In total, Ford has more than 650 electrified vehicle patents and approximately 1,000 pending patent applications on electrified vehicle technologies.

Ford believes sharing its patented technologies will promote faster develop-ment of future inventions as all automakers look toward greater opportunities.

“As an industry, we need to collaborate while we continue to challenge each other,” said Layden. “By sharing ideas, companies can solve bigger challeng-es and help improve the

industry.”

Private clinics may be hired for more than day surgeryJeff NagelBlack Press

The province may let contracted private clinics keep patients overnight for as long as three days so they can take on more complex surgeries than the day procedures they’ve so far been permitted to perform.

That possibility is mentioned in a health ministry discussion paper of potential surgi-cal reforms that’s gone out for stakeholder comment.

“Improved access to surgical services may include perform-ing select surgical pro-cedures which have length of stay up to three days, in private surgery centres using public funds,” the paper says, adding the change would require amending the Hospital Act.

B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake announced an extra $10 million Monday to perform more day surgeries this summer — some through private clinics using public funds — in order to cut wait times.

But NDP health critic Judy Darcy said letting private surgery clin-ics go beyond day sur-gery to multi-day stays

would be tantamount to turning them into full-fledged “private hospitals.”

Private surgery clin-ics so far perform barely one per cent of government-funded procedures in B.C. when public operating rooms aren’t available.

Longer patient stays would open the door to many more surgeries flowing to private facili-ties, Darcy said, adding critical staff may follow, further reducing capac-ity in public hospitals.

“Health profession-als are in short supply — anaethesiologists, specialty nurses — and if we drain them out of the public system into the private system we effectively become cap-tive to private for-profit clinics,” Darcy said.

She called the pro-posal a “game changer” that has been quietly advanced under the guise of a short-term “band-aid” to cut waits.

“They ought to be doing the innova-tion and the strategic investment to use our public system to the maximum.”

Fraser Health does not initially foresee hiring private clinics to supply the extra 500 surgeries it plans over the summer — it will open more of its own closed operating rooms.

But the Vancouver Island and and Van-couver Coastal health authorities have indi-cated they expect to

make some extra use of private surgeons.

Health Minister Terry Lake was unavailable for an interview.

The ministry instead issued a statement defending extended private clinic stays as

a successful method of handling more hernia surgeries in Toronto.

“This is just one option that is on the table for consider-ation,” it said. “Not all of these will be imple-mented.”

The policy paper indicates the main rea-son that about one in six hospital operating rooms are closed at any time is lack of funding, while staff shortages and lack of demand are also responsible in some cases.

The ministry says it’s working to increase

training for specialist nurses and support recruitment and reten-tion of key specialists, including anaethesiolo-gists.

Doctors of B.C. presi-dent Dr. Bill Cavers said health watchdogs are right to be wary of the potential to drain staff from the public sys-tem, but said the asso-ciation believes some increased use of private surgery clinics “can be a good idea” as long as it’s publicly adminis-tered and funded, and quality and safety stan-dards are upheld.

Demand on hospi-tals can vary due to flu season or a backlog of patients waiting for a particular procedure, he said.

“We feel that utiliz-ing different avenues of access to care can improve the overall effi-ciency of the system,” Cavers said. “We have surgeons right now who can’t get enough operating room time.”

He said he doesn’t foresee large numbers of clinics opening to the extent that they might cause problems for the public system.

VICTORIA — The names of the nine new members who will be inducted into the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame (GVSHOF) later this year were announced this week.

Among them is Rick Say, the most decorated swimmer in Canadian history and who now works at Panorama Recreation Centre in North Saanich.

“We are proud to be inducting these nine distinguished athletes and builders into the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame at our annual induction ceremony and dinner at the Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort & Spa on Oct. 17, 2015,” said Robert Hope, President of the GVSHOF.

“These inductees are true role models and are most deserv-ing of this prestigious recogni-tion. They have inspired and impacted the lives of so many Canadian athletes and fans.”

“There are literally hundreds of deserving athletes and build-ers in Victoria,” said Lois Smith, chair of the Selection Commit-tee. “Our committee members did an outstanding job of sifting through the many candidates. We thank them, and those who took the time to submit nomina-tions.”

For the past 21 years the GVSHOF has recognized and celebrated the outstanding per-formances and contributions of athletes, builders, officials and teams from Greater Victoria who have brought distinction to themselves, their sport, commu-nity and country.

This year’s inductees will bring the total number of Victo-ria’s honourees to 205.

The six athletes to be hon-oured are: Lauren Woolsten-croft (Skiing), Alexander Peden (Shooting), Rick Say (Swim-ming), Ike MacKay (Soccer) Bruce Deacon (Marathon) and Steve Sinclair (Baseball).

The three builders are Elaine Dagg-Jackson (Curling), Mike Spracklen (Rowing), and Ed Ash-more (Wrestling).

The Greater Victoria Sports

Hall of Fame is a not-for-profit organization. It honours achieve-ment in competitive sport. Their home is in the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre, where people can find displays and plaques

celebrating the achievements of nearly 200 local athletes, teams and builders inducted into the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame since 1991.

When it comes to throwing your weight around, Carl Jensen and Adam Drummond excel both in perfor-mance and in coaching younger athletes at the Peninsula Track Club.

Following their impressive efforts at the recent Victoria Highland Games, they have been asked to join the field of hammer throwers at the Victo-ria International Track Classic at the Univer-sity of Victoria Stadium on June 10.

The hammer they will be throwing there, however, will not be like the one they heaved at the Highland Games.

The traditional Games hammers have the standard hammer-like head on a straight wooden handle and are thrown over the shoul-der with no turning. In fact, the shoes worn in this event have long spikes on the toes to help them dig into the turf to maintain their balance. No cage is involved.

In normal track com-petition, the head of the hammer is a round ball attached to a wire handle and the thrower, from within a cage for the sake of safety, is allowed to make mul-tiple turns, sometimes as many as five, before releasing the missile.

While in track meets a thrower can choose what he wishes to throw — from the ham-

mer, shot, discus and javelin — in the Games he must throw all five Scottish implements.

They are the hammer, as described, the stone, the weight — both for distance and height — and the caber, which resembles a telegraph pole and must go for-ward and topple over to land in a straight line away from the thrower.

The stone, the ham-mer and the weight, which must be thrown forward for distance and up and over a bar for height, are all much heavier than the track and field “toys”.

“We are thrilled to be picked for the Inter-national Classic,” said Jensen, who is also a municipal councillor with the District of Cen-tral Saanich.

“Having a chance to compete against top throwers from both Canada and around the world is a real chal-lenge, but it will cer-tainly help to improve our techniques and results.”

Drummond, who will also represent Canada against the U.S.A. in the Bellingham High-land Games this com-ing weekend, revels in the chance he has to work with Pen Track’s younger athletes at their mid-week prac-tices.

“It is such a delight to see them get involved in the throwing events and to see how much improvement they make during the sea-son.”

Both men will be gun-ning for titles at the B.C. Highland Games Cham-

pionships to be held in Port Coquitlam on June 20.

track coach.

Not hearing clearly when many people are talking?Many people find that they are no longer able to understand everything, particularly when in the company of others. Engineered in Switzerland, System Audéo V has been designed specifically to understand in group situations.

The majority of those surveyed stated that when exposed to considerable background noise they are able to hear that something is being spoken, but can no longer discern precisely what is being said. The words seem blurred and indistinct. But why is that? The effect tends to manifest itself in company, or in the restaurant. It is the high-pitched tones perceived at the entrance to the cochlea that are decisive when it comes to hearing things accurately. In the majority of cases these parts of the inner ear are the first to be affected by noise or aging. As the high-pitched tones are no longer perceived well, the auditory center of the brain begins to struggle to decode language. It’s a bit like an image that doesn’t have enough pixels.

New hearing chip developed

Swiss audiologists have developed a new hearing aid chip that is designed to improve speech comprehension in noise, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can test the new Audéo V system by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. The test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The chip recognizes where the person being spoken to

is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation. Interested people can register for a no-obligation demonstration of the Audéo V by calling 888.408.7377

SIDNEY — Real estate activity in Greater Victoria during the month of May was up 26.8 per cent over the same month last year, says a report released this week by the Victoria Real Estate Board.

A total of 905 properties sold in Greater Victoria, compared to 714 properties sold in May 2014.

“We’ve not seen this many sales in May since 2007 when we saw 963 properties sell in the month,” Victoria Real Estate Board president Guy Crozier says.

“Despite the demand, prices remain competitive and there is great variety in what is available.”

On the Saanich Peninsula, 60 single family homes were sold in May — 16 in Cen-tral Saanich and 22 each in North Saanich and Sidney. Average prices ranged from $659,600 in North Saanich to $520,900 in Central Saanich and $462,200 in Sidney.

There were also 17 con-dos and three townhouses

sold in Sidney, three con-dos and eight townhouses in Central Saanich and two townhouses in North Saan-ich. The average in Sidney was $324,300 for condos and $369,300 for townhouses.

The average for town-houses sold in Central Saan-ich was $418,300.

Four manufactured homes were sold in Central Saanich while one sold in Sidney.

The only lot sold in May on the Peninsula was in Cen-tral Saanich, at a value of

$590,000.Across Greater Victoria,

there were 4,043 active list-ings for sale on the Multiple Listing Service at the end of May, 13.5 per cent fewer than the 4,672 active listings in May 2014.

“May was another great month for local real estate. It’s been a very active month for sales and listings, and we continue to see consumer confidence in our market as people continue to purchase properties,” Crozier says.

Real estate market strong and steady

Jim Zeeben/News staff

Confidence is high in the Victoria real estate market this month.
