Langford goesto electorate with ballot‘A’ questionCouncil changes mind on waiting for others to commit to amalgamation queryArnold LimNews Gazette staff

Langford has said “yes” to adding a ques-tion regarding amalgamation on the ballots for Nov. 15.

Residents will have an opportunity to vote on a non-binding question gauging interest in a study on amalgamation, after Langford council approved placing the question to municipal election ballots for the fall election.

“We looked at it in the past and thought there is no harm in asking the question and letting people give their opinion,” said Langford Coun. Denise Blackwell. “I would be interested in seeing the results. (But) from my look around the region, I don’t know how we would lessen people’s taxes in Langford, which would be the only way we would (support it).”

Angela Cowan/News Gazette staff

Nicole Fredrickson, centre in black, has been co-chairing the Ovarian Cancer Walk of Hope for Greater Victoria since 2006. , and says the support from the community has been amazing. Supporters, from left are Derek Emery, Bonnie Emery, Myrna Laing, Helena Taylor, Kim Fenton, Jennifer Watson and Phil Venoit. This year’s walk happens Sunday (Sept. 7) on the grounds of Royal Roads University behind Hatley Castle.

Walk of Hope remembers loved onesRaising awareness about ovarian cancer key to annual eventAngela CowanNews Gazette staff

Nicole Fredrickson was at the Ovarian Cancer Walk of Hope in Courtenay with her mother in 2005 when some-thing happened that would influence her life.

“The speaker made a com-ment about how we should get a walk going in Victo-ria,” the longtime Colwood resident recalls. “My mom just looked over at me and smiled. I knew she wanted me to do it.”

Two months later her mother lost her battle with ovarian cancer, and Fred-rickson felt compelled to fulfill that dying wish. She and brother Phil Venoit orga-nized the inaugural walk that same year and Fredrickson has co-chaired it, assisted by her family, every year since.

Venoit, who lives in Metchosin, credits his sister for keeping the walk going. “It’s (her) drive, passion and compassion to do some-thing that would commemo-rate our mother,” he says.

The siblings recognized the need to raise awareness after their mother’s diagno-sis came too late for effec-tive treatment, a common theme with ovarian cancer, the symptoms of which are often mis-associated with stomach troubles or pre-menstrual syndrome.

“We recognized there was very little information, very little research going on,” Venoit says. “It didn’t have the same exposure as pros-tate or breast cancer.”

Local business E.H. Emery Electric was quick to offer support for the walk and has been a major sponsor every year, says Venoit, add-ing they offer a “tremendous amount of support,” bring-ing their staff to the event, helping to set up and more.

“(Derek and Bonnie Emery) really ensure the event is successful in Victo-ria,” he says.

And the support is sin-cerely heartfelt. Derek has lost both his mother and sister to cancer, a loss that echoes through the walk’s participants.

Everyone seems to walk either in support of others, in memory of a loved one who lost the fight or while going through treatment themselves.

Helen Taylor of View Royal is walking again this year for friend Sue Sorbie, a North Islander who was a staunch supporter of the Victoria event from day one.

“We always walked for Sue every year,” Taylor says. Sorbie endured course after course of treatments until she passed away a couple of years ago.

“She always came out. Even the last year, when she couldn’t walk because she couldn’t come down to (Col-wood), we went up to her (in Courtenay) and Sue sat in the car and watched us all walk,” Taylor says. “Sue was such a remarkable lady. She inspired so many people.”

Driven to do something to remember her friend,

Taylor gathered all the offi-cial T-shirts of the previous eight walks, and sewed them into a quilt with the help of friends Myrna Laing and Jen-nifer Watson.

“I just wanted to do some-thing with the T-shirts,” Tay-lor says. “I did it in memory of Sue.”

She gave the quilt to Fred-rickson, who was moved by the gesture and immediately asked to use it as the symbol for the yearly walk.

The walk honours friends and loved ones who’ve passed, but it’s also impor-tant for bringing the disease into the public eye, says Fredrickson.

With no early detection or effective screening, she says, it’s vital to educate people about what to watch for and encourage them to take symptoms seriously.

The walk happens Sunday (Sept. 7) at Royal Roads Uni-versity. Registration begins at 9 a.m. and the walk is at 10. For more information, visit ovariancancerwalkof-hope.ca.

Green leader in Langford for Lyme eventElizabeth May spearheading Lyme protocol federallyAngela CowanNews Gazette staff

Lyme disease is gaining recognition as a misidenti-fied problem in Canada, but it’s not there yet.

Leading the charge is federal Green Party leader Elizabeth May, who will give a talk on Lyme disease during an awareness-heightening and fundraising din-ner hosted by Evedar’s Bistro in Langford next Tues-day (Sept. 9).

“I have many friends and constituents who are liv-ing with this terrible disease,” said May in an email. “We need to make absolutely sure that all Canadian doctors are equipped with the tools and knowledge to effectively diagnose and treat patients suffering from Lyme.”

May has been working on developing a national framework to address Lyme disease in Canada for the past three years. Her private members bill, unani-mously supported, has been referred to the Senate and will be taken up this autumn.

Fran Jinnouchi, co-owner of Evedar’s with her hus-band, Marc, heard about what May had been doing for the Lyme cause. Upon inviting her to speak at the event, Fran said, May quickly agreed.

Jinnouchi says the event was initially developed to financially support a close friend, a Langford woman who was diagnosed with Lyme disease after a year of unexplained severe symptoms and lost time at work. Sarah C., who shuns the spotlight, had to go south of the border both for a positive diagnosis and for the treatment her own government can’t provide.

“I care very deeply about my friend,” Jinnouchi says. “It’s difficult to see there isn’t the support or awareness out there.”

She set up the evening as a fundraiser, with all pro-ceeds going to help Sarah cover treatment costs, but it quickly grew into a community event as well.

“As it started to unfold, I realized there is interest out there,” Jinnouchi says. “It raises this social con-sciousness that we all have a role to play.

“For me, what I’ve come to learn in the last year and a half (about Lyme), it’s alarming. It could happen to anyone. And yet, we all can bring about change.”

As well as the talk from May, the evening includes a two-course dinner donated by the Jinnouchis and live flamenco and Latin music by guitarist Brad Pre-vedoros, who’s also donating his time to the cause. Scia’new Chief Russell Chipps and T’Sou-Ke Chief Gordon Planes will give a traditional welcome to the territory before dinner.

The event runs from 5 to 8 p.m. at 2829 Peatt Rd. on Sept. 9. The cost is $50 per person and there will be a cash bar. Reservations are required and payment is by cash only. To reserve, call 250-391-8636 or email Fran Jinnouchi at [email protected].

Did you know?n Lyme is one of the fastest-growing infectious diseases in Canada. Evidence suggests 10,000 new cases will be reported annually by 2020.

n People cannot spread the disease to each other. Lyme results from being bitten by an infected black-legged tick, which are common in rural areas, but can be found in urban areas as well, as they can travel on migratory birds throughout Canada.

n Lyme only became a reportable disease in Canada in 2009.

n There is no universally accepted test for Lyme disease in Canada. – Government of Canada, Canadian Lyme Foundation,

The 20th-century historical pieces that were left behind when the Goldstream Museum Society dissolved last year still need a permanent home, says Bill Silvester.

The chair of the Colwood Her-itage Commission adds, how-ever, progress is being made on that front.

“(The collection) is only in two places instead of half a dozen,” he says – Royal Roads University has provided tempo-rary storage, as has Colwood city hall.

It’s been eight months since the commission took control of the artifacts, and with the help of Royal Roads archivist Caro-line Posynick and View Royal archivist Chance Dixon, Silves-ter has nearly finished going through the accession records and is set to begin photograph-ing and cataloguing the items.

The tricky part is making sure the pieces are properly stored and protected, he says.

“Because it’s been in storage for so long, a lot of it has been damaged, perhaps irretrievably.”

One of the other concerns was determining whether any of the items had to be returned to their original owners after the museum dissolved, but Sil-vester says that hasn’t been an issue. “According to the records, everything was given to the museum with no stipulation.”

Some of the items are Col-wood-specific, and some more general to their time periods.

Saanich’s Heritage Acres and the Sidney museum, among others, have expressed interest in some of the artifacts, which include old records, ploughs, snow-shoes, stoves and other house-hold articles.

“It’s great stuff for a museum display,” Silvester says. How-ever, he’d like some of the items to remain in Colwood.

“Because we don’t have a museum per se, we would like to put certain items aside for a rotating display in city hall.”

An old telephone exchange is currently on display there,

and Silvester says they have the ingredients for a 1920s-style kitchen setup as well.

The group is expected to fin-ish initial cataloguing this week. A Heritage Commission meet-ing is set for the next few weeks to get input from all members involved in the project.

There’s a “ways to go yet,” Silvester says, a point to which Royal Roads colleague Posynick agrees.

“It’s definitely a process, but I think we’re getting there,” she says. [email protected]

Colwood history still needs a homeOrganizing artifacts a big job for heritage commission

Parents looking for instant cash to cover current child-care costs during the B.C. teacher’s strike will be disappointed to learn the government won’t be paying out any money until after the strike is over.

In a media release this week explaining the Temporary Edu-cation Support for Parents pro-gram, which will pay parents and primary caregivers $40 per child age 12 and under for each day school is not in session, the province stated a one-time

cheque would be written to eli-gible applicants “within 30 days after the month the labour dis-ruption ends.”

Online applications to receive the payments opened Sunday for parents and primary care-givers, including step-parents, legal guardians, foster parents, host parents for international students, caregivers with tem-porary custody arrangements and family members who nor-mally care for the student, such as grandparents. Payments for

students attending kindergar-ten and those new to B.C. public schools will also be made after the labour disruption ends, once enrolment for the current school year can be confirmed.

Applications will be pro-cessed up to four months after the resumption of classes.

This 1920s telephone exchange is just one of a number of large historical pieces that Bill Silvester, Caroline Posynick and Chance Dixon (not pictured), have been working to restore. Silvester, chair of the Colwood Heritage Commission, took over care of dozens of artifacts when the Goldstream Museum Society dissolved late last year.

Blackwell said Langford actually supported looking at amalgamation with Colwood about seven years ago, but in the end Colwood said no.

Earlier this year Langford council announced it would put a question on the ballot if there were 75 per cent of the 13 municipalities in the Capital Regional District planning to do so. Council decided to take out the “caveat” and put an as-yet undetermined question on the ballot, in an effort to gather as much information as possible, Blackwell said.

Capital Region

Municipal Amalga-mation Society vice-chair John Vickers applauded the move.

“I think to show the leadership they are showing is absolutely terrific. At the end of the day it’s the people that win when they are extended an opportunity to express

how they feel about wanting a study on amalgamation for the region,” he said. “With Langford and Central Saanich last evening (Sept. 2) approving a question, we (hope to) see other councils follow.”

Currently three municipalities

– Victoria is the other – have approved putting a non-binding referendum question on the ballot. However, the wording for the questions could be different on each ballot. Central Saanich, for example, will ask residents if they support asking the province to do a cost-benefit analysis on amalgamation of the municipality with Sidney and North Saanich.

Vickers said Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen has expressed some interest in putting it on his municipality’s ballots if there is enough support from other jurisdictions.

July figures from an Angus Reid poll commissioned by the society showed that 89 per cent of the CRD voters polled supported having a non-binding question on amalgamation as part of the municipal election in November.

“All we have really wanted right from the outset is to allow people to express their view, and if they are not interested that is okay and if they are, they are,” Vickers said.

“With all regional issues from sewage and transit, it is about coming together and hopefully the citizens from across the region will have an opportunity to express their view.”

To Build in Love


Travis PatersonNews staff

At just over three months, Mia is one smart puppy. She stops at every curb and door she comes across and is now learning to do the same for esca-lators.

On a sunny Tuesday morning, Mia weaves through a precariously designed obstacle of cones, baby gates, tissues, balls and other natural street distractions during her B.C. Guide Dogs class in the lacrosse box of Topaz Park.

It’s the life of a guide dog in training, but when it’s play time, there’s no mistaking Mia as just another playful pup, jumping and rolling with the rest of her class.

“It’s all work on the leash and play time can only be off-lead, when we allow it,” says Pierre Gagne, one half of Mia’s puppy raising team along with partner Marlene Homan.

Gagne is self-employed and works from his Vic-toria home, which make him and Homan ideal can-didates.

It’s their first time raising a puppy for the B.C. Guide Dogs and the organization is looking for more puppy raisers in the Greater Victoria area as three litters become available for both September and October.

Retired couples are often best-suited, or those people in a position such as Gagne, says local puppy raising supervisor Laura Mahoney.

Classes are outside at Topaz but Mahoney is hop-ing to move indoors if the space is made available through a willing donor.

“We’ve been outside for 10 years, which is just fine during the beautiful summer days we’re having, but year round is tough,” says Mahoney.

Other cities are able to use donated facility time, such as in churches, but with a limited budget, the local B.C. Guide Dogs chapter will remain outside for the foreseeable future.

As for the puppies, they’re placed with ideal can-didates for puppy raising at seven weeks old and live with the puppy raiser up to 18 months. The dogs are actually bred by B.C. Guide Dogs in Delta, a cross between lab and retriever. They graduate through a series of programs and ideally become a guide dog for vision impairment. Should the ani-mals fall short of the rigid requirements, they are still highly capable and are placed with the family of someone with autism.

Anyone interested in applying as a puppy raiser can contact Laura Mahoney at 250-413-3095 or by email at [email protected].

OUR VIEW

Three down, more to come?

News on the amalgamation front has been fast and furious this week.

Council in two more municipalities, most notably Langford, but also Central Saanich, voted to put a form of question relating to the further study of amalgamation on the ballot for the 2014 civic election.

Representatives from Amalgamation Yes can be excused for rubbing their hands together with a degree of satisfaction, having seen their many months of effort rewarded with buy-in from two of the three largest jurisdictions in the Capital Region.

This week Langford officially changed its mind about waiting to see whether 75 per cent of all area municipalities were going to put a question on their ballots. In our minds, Langford has never been a “follower” type of municipality, rather a leader in getting things done progressively.

We’d like to think that conversations with residents helped turn the tide. Not to mention reminders from staff that any question placed on the ballot, simply to take the public’s temperature on a further investigation of some form of amalgamation, need not be binding and wouldn’t legally require them to take steps toward such a move.

Which is not to say municipalities can be flippant about this exercise in democracy, trying it on for size like a pair of shoes. It still requires serious thought about what areas of integration might benefit residents, which comes with costs for staff time on top of added printing expenses.

A big part of the equation is the wording of the question. It can be as open and general, or specific and detailed as desired, depending on what municipalities hope to achieve with this initial inquiry. In essence, there’s really not a lot to lose by putting a question on the ballot, outside of slightly distracting voters from their primary task of electing their councils.

Whether other West Shore municipalities will follow Langford’s lead is anyone’s guess. But if up-and-comer Colwood says yes to a ballot question, we believe others around the region will look seriously at changing their minds, like Langford did and simply ask, why not?

Recently I volunteered at Track Fest, an event organized by the Greater Victoria Velodrome Association, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the 1994 Commonwealth Games.

As a longtime participant and supporter of sports in our community, I often attend weekly summer races at the velodrome located at Westshore Parks and Recreation, and I’m always amazed at the speed and skill that these cyclists exhibit.

However, this summer was extra special as I witnessed an overall increase in ridership with a significant increase in junior riders who are provided top-notch coaching. Consequently, I had no hesitation putting my name forward as a volunteer.

I must say the event was all I expected it to be and more. With riders attending from up-Island and the Lower Mainland, the competition was fast and electric. The atmosphere was festive and friendly with music, food tents, and even a beer garden situated right above the finish line.

As a volunteer I was fed and hydrated all weekend and at the end of the event was presented with a gift card to a local coffee shop and an event T-shirt. How cool is that?

Also, as it turns out many of the officials who ran this event also attend and volunteer at other cycling events throughout Victoria and have done so since before the 1994 Commonwealth Games.

Pretty impressive. The officials and other volunteers

are so passionate and committed in their efforts to promote the use of this wonderful track racing facility we have in our community.

It is indeed a jewel. Everyone should check it out.

Government thumbs noseat Supreme Court ruling

I am a mother, grandmother and great grandmother. I am raising my great niece and grandson, who should be starting grades 3 and 4 this week.

I am very disappointed that the B.C. Liberal government and B.C. teachers have not been able to reach a negotiated settlement.

We live in a democracy where we should be able to believe that when something such as class size and composition is dealt with in a Supreme Court decision, the decision is binding on both parties. I am somewhat baffled the court decision is now being “negotiated” after the fact by the government of the day and that our children are not going back to school.

Is the government trying to teach our children that as long as you are the party in power, you can decide whether or not to accept a Supreme Court ruling? Get our children back to school.

ICBC logic for rate hikedoesn’t make sense

I have a question about the blame being put on distracted drivers for the recently announced rate increase. Is ICBC saying there are now more distracted driving claims than before the law came into effect banning texting and other cell phone use while driving?

Either they want an increase in rates for the sake of an increase and are using distracted drivers as an excuse, or the law has made things worse. Just an observation.

The Bipolar Disorder Society of B.C. is looking for six Greater Victoria residents diagnosed with bipolar disorder, aged 19 to 25, to help fill what founder Andrea Paquette calls a “gap in youth research.”

Having recently received a $159,000 research grant from the Vancouver Foundation, the society, along with the Univer-sity of B.C.-based Collaborative Research Team to Study Bipolar Disorder (CREST.BD), are form-ing youth action groups here and in the Comox Valley. Each group will research ways in which youth can stay well while living with bipolar disorder.

Bipolar disorder is charac-terized by periods of mania, in which the individual feels over-whelmingly happy and ener-getic, which can result in irre-sponsible choice. These periods

of mania transition into bouts of depression, in which the indi-vidual often feels unmotivated, anxious, hopeless or isolated.

Statistically, those diagnosed with bipolar disorder face a much higher risk of self-harm or suicide than the general popula-tion.

“It’s a challenge every day,” Paquette said. “It’s more than having good and bad days. One day you can be euphoric, goal-oriented and so energetic you can’t sleep. The next morning you won’t be able to get out of bed for three days.”

Paquette said that those inter-ested in joining the youth action group don’t need any previous experience, but should have an interest in research and be avail-able one to three days a month for the next two years. Training will be provided by a Toronto-based group, with research methods being decided after-wards. Positions are paid.

The society will also be host-ing two research forums, open to all youth aged 16 to 25 suf-fering from bipolar disorder, the first of which will take place in January in Victoria.

The society runs several youth mental health support groups in Greater Victoria, including a Langford chapter at the Centennial Park Recreation Centre aimed at young men and women 18 and over.

Paquette said she formed the groups after seeing a lack of supports for youth.

“It’s amazing to see how the groups have grown. You’ll get people who haven’t gotten out of the house for six months come down and make friends,” Paquette said.

“Every day (living with bipo-lar disorder) is a challenge, but with therapy, medication, nutri-tion and support, you can still live a full life.”[email protected]

The Yukon is GMC Yukon territoryIt’s hard to believe but GMC has never held a vehicle launch for the Yukon full-sized SUV in the Yukon Territory, until now. Media from across Canada landed in Whitehorse and travelled around the territory recently in the all-new 2015 GMC Yukon model, ending up in the famous gold rush time capsule of Dawson City. From the wooden sidewalks to the gravel covered streets, this preserved part of history looks and feels much the way it would when gold was first discovered in 1896. The Yukon is also a great test for this big truck because of the immense stretches of unpopulated roads with smooth sections, potholes and loose gravel. The Yukon has it all, including spectacular vistas, wide-open space and spectacular scenery. Spending three days behind the wheel made me realize what a good job GMC has done with this truck, from fuel economy to creature comforts.

LooksLast year, GM introduced the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra full-size pickup trucks. In fact, the Silver-ado won the North American Truck of the Year and the GMC Sierra won the AJAC truck of the year. With a solid basis, the engineers then went about building the full-sized SUVs based on the truck chassis. They include the Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, the GMC Yukon and Denali, plus the Cadillac Escalade. These represent a huge profit centre for General Motors and they needed to get them right. The GMC Yukon is the most popular of the bunch with one-in-three full-sized SUV buyers choosing the Yukon, which is opposite to the United States where the Chevrolet trucks dominate. The top Yukon Denali model traditionally represents about 35 per cent of all Yukon sales but in the first few months of sales, it has captured more than 60 per cent.

Inside The long wheelbase model is an im-posing truck and a favourite of large families that need the third row of seating, plus a functional cargo area. The more popular short wheelbase offers a lot of room as well but when the third row of seats is employed the cargo area is diminished. On all but the base model, the second and third row of seats can be folded and store electronically. The Denali is exceptionally well equipped and shows great attention to detail, with the aluminum trim around the radio and heat controls, leather seating with French stitching. What the GMC Yukon offers over the Cadillac cousin is a simpler dashboard layout with traditional rotary knobs and buttons,

whereas the Cadillac has moved to touch sensitive panels that take time to master.

DriveThe Yukon is offered with two engine choices, the 5.3L 355hp V8 in the base SLE and middle SLT Yukon models and the 6.2L V8 in the Denali. This 6.2L engine is also used in the Escalade. There are several reasons to consider the Denali over the base 5.3L engine. The first is the inclusion of the magnetic ride control system that is also available in the Escalade. This sys-tem adapts the suspension up to 100 times per second and performed well on a variety of road surfaces in the Yukon. The second is a noise cancelling system that pumps sound waves through the Denali’s stereo system to help eliminate unwanted road and engine noise. The third reason is the mighty 6.2L engine with 420hp and 460 lb.-ft. of torque. Because this engine and the 5.3L have direct injection, variable value tim-ing and most importantly, cylinder management, the

V8 can switch off half of the eight cylinders and lean off the fuel mixture to reduce fuel consumption. With more than 1,000 km driven at a range of speeds, the real world consumption was 12L/100 km, close to the 11.4L/100 km official highway rating with the 6.2L engine. All the current Yukon models are equipped with a 6-speed automatic but the 6.2L engines will get an 8-speed this fall, with the 5.3L following next year. AWD is standard on all but the base model and these trucks can tow up to 3856 kg.VerdictThe Yukon is winner on all trim levels. I could find no fault but it is pricey. Starting at $51,800 for the SLE or $60,960 for the SLT and $75,540 for the Denali, this isn’t a cheap prospect. However, the Denali offers most of the same features as the more expensive Cadillac Escalade but is more use-friendly and less expensive.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – If you’re driving to Hell, what kind of car would you want to be in?An SUV? A sports car? One that if you never come back, at least your missing person’s report would list you last seen: “in something fast, flashy and awesome?”When my driving partner and I stumbled upon Hell, Michigan, or at least the sign that directed us that way, we were in the all-new, 2015 Hyundai Sonata, a sedan that is now seven generations strong.We had air conditioning in case it got really hot and directions via the navigation system in case we went to Hell and lost our way back. And comfort-able seats in case the crossing of the River Styx was long and arduous. Furthermore, we had the power to get us out of there if we needed to leave in a hurry.Okay, enough about Hell and back in the car… for 2015, the Sonata gives you two engine options; both of which have been revised for the seventh generation.The first is a peppy 2.4L, 4-cylinder with 185 horse-power and 178 lb-ft of torque.Then there’s the spirited, optional, 2.0-litre twin-scroll turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 245 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Both engine variants are linked with a 6-speed automatic transmission.There’s a lot going on with Hyundai’s mid-size sedan. It’s built with an all-new chassis, which equates to a more comfortable ride, better handling and an overall improvement in NVH (Noise, Vibra-tions, Harshness.) To test that out, we took it to the streets of Ann Arbor in Michigan, as well as the

backcountry roads that have sweeping corners and tight turns.The first thing I noticed was how much better the handling was, especially when you have it in Sport mode. The 2015 Sonata gives the driver a choice of three drive modes. These modes work together with the sedan’s engine, transmission, and Motor-Driv-en Power Steering (MDPS) to suit different driver preferences. In Sport, powertrain responsiveness and heavier steering weight are both increased. The steering weight definitely comes in handy on the twisty parts of the road. In Normal mode, steering isn’t as responsive but better suited for urban environ-ments. And if you’re in a fuel saving mood, pop the

car into Eco mode. This softens throttle response and recalibrates transmission response so you get the most out of your tank. Speaking of steering, Hyundai mentions, “The 2015 Sonata’s steering wheel features an irregular shape with increased rim thickness and ergonomic grip rests. These subtle changes ensure more of the steering wheel surface remains in contact with the driver’s hands. In turn, the vehicle offers enhanced steering system feel, especially at high speed.”I’d agree with this. My fingers were comfortably placed at 9 and 3 o’clock and felt pretty good there.But it’s not just the driving modes and steering wheel that make the Sonata as popular as it is. The 2015 comes with all new styling inside and outside.

Let’s start with the cabin, since the driver will spend more time looking at a centre stack than they will the front, hexagonal grille.Featuring even higher quality materials than before, it’s softer to the touch and the layout is optimized for the driver. On the outside, you’ll see a family resemblance to the Sonata’s big broth-er, the Genesis. The character line is more pronounced, yet the cumulative look is more sophisticated and mature.It’s a tough segment to be in. When you have frontrunners like the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Mazda6 and more, it can get pretty heated. But the Sonata remains cool and collected and has the goods to keep up with the best of them. The 2015 Hyundai Sonata has a starting MSRP of $23,999. The top of the line Sport 2.0T Ultimate has an MSRP of $34,799.Visit www.hyundaicanada.com for more informa-tion.

With a bye week helping heal up some nagging injuries, the Westshore Rebels juniors look to even their B.C. Football Conference record to 3-3 tomorrow at home against the Kamloops Broncos.

Having posted their most lopsided win of the season on Aug. 23, a 41-7 drubbing of the Valley Huskers, the Rebels return to Westhills Stadium for a 3 p.m. game against the Broncos, who sit in third spot at 3-2.

Heading into the game, several Rebels are among the league leaders in various offensive categories.

Quarterback Hunter Lake, the defend-ing BCFC offensive player of the week, is sixth overall in rushing with 216 yards on 21 carries, while running back Johnny Quan is 12th at 173 yards.

Jordan Rodinsky and Nathan Leader sit third and fourth for receiving yards with 386 and 382, respectively, while Grif-fin Dear is 13th with 222 yards. Leader’s 23.9 yards per catch are tops in the league among receivers with 15 or more recep-tions.

Lake is also third in total passing yards (1,342) and touchdown passes (10) and fifth in passer rating (76.8 per cent).

The Rebels will be helped in spirit at least by the presence of the Superheroes of Victoria at the game. Players joined the local charity group for a fundraiser photo shoot for B.C. Children’s Hospital last weekend at Uptown.

Rebels get some ‘super’ help trying for second straight win

Team plans to go all out against B.C. Hockey League rivalArnold LimNews Gazette staff

The Victoria Grizzlies are com-ing to Sooke.

SEAPARC Arena plays host to the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) team’s final pre-season game, Sept. 13 against the Cowichan Capitals. Despite it being an exhibition, the Griz-zlies will be bringing their game faces to the rink against a heated rival.

“This is our last pre-sea-son game before everything gets started, so we are pretty excited,” said Grizzlies head coach and general manager Brad Knight. “That game will fea-ture our (full) roster, so the fans that are going to pay for tickets are going to watch the players that are going to play. They will get the best.”

Knight took over on the bench from Craig Didmon, who left the team in the off-season after the Grizzlies were eliminated with a crushing triple-overtime defeat to the Coquitlam Express in the third round of last year’s play-offs.

Knight said coming to Sooke

has been on his radar for some time.

“It’s been a couple of years since we have been out there, but it is an area where we get fans from, we see lots of fans coming from Sooke,” he said. “We’ll try to bring our game and the way we play to some of our fans and show them some appreciation.”

Game day features a tailgate party and barbecue at 1 p.m. prior to the 4 p.m. start. All money collected from admis-sions and fundraisers, including a 50/50 draw and a fastest shot competition, go to Sooke Rotary Club and Sooke Minor Hockey.

Grizzlies forward Cole Pickup said being a part of events like this are an important part of being a player.

“I can’t thank the community

Team plans to go all out against B.C. Hockey League rivalArnold LimNews Gazette staff

The Victoria Grizzlies are com-ing to Sooke.

SEAPARC Arena plays host to the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) team’s final pre-season game, Sept. 13 against the Cowichan Capitals. Despite it being an exhibition, the Griz-zlies will be bringing their game faces to the rink against a heated rival.

“This is our last pre-sea-son game before everything gets started, so we are pretty excited,” said Grizzlies head coach and general manager Brad Knight. “That game will fea-ture our (full) roster, so the fans that are going to pay for tickets are going to watch the players that are going to play. They will get the best.”

Knight took over on the bench from Craig Didmon, who left the team in the off-season after the Grizzlies were eliminated with a crushing triple-overtime defeat to the Coquitlam Express in the third round of last year’s play-offs.

Knight said coming to Sooke

has been on his radar for some time.

“It’s been a couple of years since we have been out there, but it is an area where we get fans from, we see lots of fans coming from Sooke,” he said. “We’ll try to bring our game and the way we play to some of our fans and show them some appreciation.”

Game day features a tailgate party and barbecue at 1 p.m. prior to the 4 p.m. start. All money collected from admis-sions and fundraisers, including a 50/50 draw and a fastest shot competition, go to Sooke Rotary Club and Sooke Minor Hockey.

Grizzlies forward Cole Pickup said being a part of events like this are an important part of being a player.

“I can’t thank the community

enough for what they’ve done for this organization and myself,” he said. “They have always been behind us, no matter how tough the times have been. Anything we can help the community with, it feels awesome to help.”

Come the start of the season, however, the bitter taste of last year’s loss will be on his mind, as he looks forward to having a strong year and a chance at redemption.

Bland, Wade big winners at WesternCanada 200 a Labour Day weekend racing tradition

Wade Bland outlasted the field to capture the annual Reg Midgley Memorial Canada 200 late-model championship Sunday, capping a busy weekend of racing at Western Speedway.

The Saanich driver was part of a four-car pack that duelled in the late stages of the feature race. Bland took his first lead at lap 133 and fended off a number of challenges, including one from eventual runner-up Dave Hemrich on a yellow flag restart at lap 163. Bland ultimately crossed the line just ahead of Hemrich, with Darrell Midgely in third and Rob Angus in fourth.

The winner got himself into contention early, moving up to third spot by about lap 64. He hung around with the leaders until the 100-lap refuelling break, then overtook Hemrich for the lead after another yellow flag.

On lap 103 Hemrich had wrested the lead away from Geoff Morris, who had held the lead the pre-vious 45 laps. Morris earlier showed his chops with wins in the heat and trophy dash.

Rounding out the top eight in the finale were, in order, Brandon Carlson, Morris, Aaron Wilkie and Cody Brown.

It was a successful weekend for Bland, who warmed up for Sunday’s main event with second-place finishes in the heat race and trophy dash. The night before he captured the checkered flag in the first of two 50-lap mains, followed by a third-place finish.

Angus scored a victory in the second main event Saturday, followed by Jason Terasenko, who was second in both mains that night.

With the stock cars sharing the bill with the late models both nights, it was five-time season cham-pion Ryan Wade who commanded the spotlight, winning both 75-lap main events as part of this year’s Street Stock Driver Challenge.

Bob Kuhn crossed the line second Sunday fol-lowed by Chis McInerney and Mike Sproule. McIn-erney and Kuhn flipped their results from the Saturday main, in which Brian Clutchey finished fourth.

Other than winning a trophy dash on Saturday, Wade was otherwise quiet, posting a pair of fourth-place finishes in heat races on the weekend. He came up big when it counted, however, leading from lap 23 on in Sunday’s main and from lap 28 to the wire in Saturday’s finale. Find full results at goldstreamgazette.com/sports.

Olympic View golfer earns big PGA of B.C. paydayFormer tour pro outduels tourney favourites for title

Gordy Scutt charged hard in the closing holes to catch the leader then won a one-hole playoff with a birdie in the dying light to take the PGA of B.C. championship at Vancouver’s Point Grey Golf Club.

Scutt, an instructor at the Golf B.C. Academy at Olym-pic View Golf Club, shot a final-round 3-under 69 last week to to pull into a tie with

Lindsay Bernakevitch of Vic-toria Golf Club at 4-under.

As darkness began to fall, the pair teed off at the par-5 18th hole. Both big hitters reached the green in two and missed their eagle attempts, but Scutt sunk his comeback putt to put pressure on his opponent. Bernakevitch was unable to sink his putt, giv-ing the former Canadian Tour regular the title.

“My putter saved me early,” Scutt said afterward. “But I hit the ball well all day. It was a solid round of golf for me.”

He opened with a 71, good for a tie for third place head-ing into the final round Aug. 26.

Olympic View head pro Kevin Maxwell set a sizzling pace on day 1, shooting 68 to build a two-stroke lead over two-time champion Bryn Parry of Seymour Creek Golf Centre. Maxwell couldn’t keep up the pace and fin-ished with a 75 in a tie for fifth at 143.

Parry, who led for most of the second round, hit an errant tee shot and bogeyed the 17th hole then parred the

18th to finish third at 141. He was tied with clubmate Oli-ver Tubb, who left a birdie putt inches short on 18 and missed joining the playoff.

Scutt collected $6,000 for the win. Bernakevitch took home runner-up money of $4,200 and Maxwell pocketed $1,750.

Other Greater Victoria golfers competing included Edd Boudreau of Gorge Vale and Rob Cruise of Highland Pacific, who finished as part of a six-way tie for 27th place at [email protected]

Don DescoteauNews Gazette staff

Some West Shore real estate agents were a little concerned when the typical post-winter housing mar-ket upswing took a while to materi-alize.

Patience has paid off for buyers, sellers and Realtors alike, however, as the market showed better than expected results for a typically slower period of the year, summer holiday time.

“Typically the strongest selling season is the spring, so that’s why we were saying, ‘what’s happen-ing?’ It was so slow to take off,” said Jean Omelchenko of DFH Real Estate West Shore.

“It was a slower spring, (but) the spring spilled into the summer and it’s just carried on. Actually it’s the busiest August we’ve had in a long time.”

The figures released by the Vic-toria Real Estate Board this week showed significant improvement over the previous year. Last month 609 properties were sold, a 12-per-cent increase over the 540 sold in August 2013.

Sooke-based board president Tim Ayres sounded thrilled with the con-tinued strong showing.

“When July numbers came in higher than we expected based on the past five years of sales activ-ity, I think a lot of people were sur-prised,” he said. “But sure enough, the market outperformed last year’s sales again in August and we’ve had the busiest August we’ve seen in five years.”

It’s not just a summer blip: year-to-date sales for the region are run-ning at a 10.5-per-cent better clip

than by this time in 2013. September, usually after school

begins in earnest, is when things typically kick into gear again after the late-summer lull, Omelchenko said. While it’s uncertain whether the teacher’s strike may affect the decisions of some people to buy or sell their home, she said, all indica-tions are that the market will con-tinue to be brisk.

The word “balanced” continues to come up in descriptions of the market, a scenario in which neither buyers nor sellers have a distinct advantage. The absence of pricing pressures caused by a lack of supply – which caused bidding wars in past – coupled with still-low mortgage rates, has been key to maintaining that trend.

While specific figures for the West Shore as a region were not avail-able at the Gazette press time, Ayres pointed out that the Home Price Index benchmark price for a typical single family home in the Greater Victoria core was $491,500, less than $5,000 more than last year. Despite a temporary glut of supply in the local condominium market as develop-ment projects have come on stream, the benchmark prices for condos and townhouses have both risen by about 2.5 per cent in the past year.

Continuing to pace the market on the West Shore, Omelchenko said, are first-time homebuyers who are still eagerly snapping up new or fairly new homes in fast-growing areas such as Happy Valley in Lang-ford.

The small-lot designs, which offer a variety of square-foot configura-tions to accommodate everyone from those just starting out or peo-ple scaling down, to growing fami-lies, appeal to many people, she said.

“What I find is the young people, they don’t want the big yard, but they want newer homes. The young people are who drives the market and if that’s what they want, that’s what they’re going to get.”

Helping many first-time buy-ers or those looking to expand is the fact many newer homes in this area have legal suites or are “suite-ready,” Omelchenko added. “Every-body is still looking for that mort-gage helper.”

Q: WHAT CAN I DO TO CREATE CURB

APPEAL FOR A FALL SALE?

HomeFinderFind a place to call home

SELLER’S TIP | First-time home sellers should hire a Realtor who is familiar with your neighbourhood

There are a number of ways to enhance the look of your home for sale as sum-mer moves into fall.

Extra moisture in the air – not necessarily the downpour the West Shore and the rest of Greater Victoria received Tuesday – helps green up your lawns. Keep the grass neatly mowed and clear of leaves. There are also plenty of fall flowers available to plant to keep your gardens colourful.

Consider painting your front door a vivid colour and hanging some fall foliage on it as an accent.

Speaking of paint, your home’s exterior would likely benefit from a power wash or fresh coat of paint in certain areas. Also, keep your win-dows clean.

Clearing out the gutters of leaves and other debris shows potential buyers you care enough to maintain the home.

And while mid-fall is often the time to break out sea-sonal decorations for things like Halloween, avoid the ghouls and scarecrows and keep the decorating to a modest level, so as not to detract from the home itself.

Next week’s sixth annual Sport Assist golf tournament at Bear Mountain Golf Resort will be the organization’s biggest yet, with a full slate of 216 golfers swinging their clubs to raise money so local kids can afford to play sports.

SportAssist, founded by Lang-ford’s Gerry St. Cyr, funds youth aged five to 18 on an individual basis, removing financial barriers so they can participate in sports. St. Cyr, facility operator at City Centre Park, started the organiza-tion seven years ago.

“I’m around recreation 24-7 and I can really see the need and finan-cial struggle from some families, which means some kids were not getting to play sports,” he says.

“There was a young guy that used to carry his hockey bag all the way down the Langford park-way to do drop-in roller hockey,” he remembers.

St. Cyr looked into it, and found out the kid couldn’t afford the league fees. “I thought, something has to be done locally here.”

Since its inception, the number of kids helped by the program has doubled every year, he says. “Now people know that we’re here. There’s more of a need for it, but

SportAssist is getting more well known around town.”

St. Cyr says they’re hoping to double last year’s total of $30,000 raised at the golf tournament to keep up with the need from the community.

“We’ve kept ahead of the curve so far, but the need keeps grow-ing.”

Registration for the Sept. 12 tournament is sold out, but orga-nizers are still looking for donated prizes or items for the silent auc-tion.

“There’s a need for anything to help raise money,” St. Cyr says, stressing that all funds raised stay on the West Shore for local kids.

Businesses or individuals inter-ested in supporting the fundraiser can email St. Cyr directly at [email protected], or visit sportas-sist.ca for more [email protected]
