Fridays are busy in the Drysdale household.

Ted heads for orchestra practice in the morning and he and wife Nora flit out for carpet bowling in the afternoon. The rest of the week is filled with Monterey Recreation Centre visits when the weather is cool or strolls on Willows Beach at this time of year.

The Oak Bay nonagenarians like to keep busy and as they approach 71 years of marriage, they still enjoy doing most

everything together. “We just always enjoyed each other’s

company, right from the start,” says Nora. Raised in Victoria, Ted started his

military service with the Canadian Scottish Regiment here and when war started, wound up with the 31st Field Company in Ontario.

Now 90 years old, Nora first met Ted, 92, at St. Alban’s Anglican Church in Ottawa, Ontario where the ladies played and sang for the military men. They dated for a couple of years and when he was sent to Petawawa she followed, moving to nearby Pembroke.

They spent the weekends together until they wed Aug. 6, 1943, not long before Ted was shipped overseas to Nijmegen in the Netherlands.

“He got sick over there and he came home on a stretcher,” Nora recalls, perched on the sofa in the sunroom of their bright home.

By 1945, the military sent Ted back where he came from and the Drysdales settled on the Island, building a home on Carrick Street – “the Victoria side” Ted notes – on a veterans lot. They’ve been in their Oak Bay home beyond four decades now.

Back then the roads were always muddy with a bump outside their home so big that a bus thumping over it would crack the plaster, Nora says with mirth.

“It’s been greatly improved, the roads in Oak Bay,” Ted adds.

They had two daughters close in age then a son 13 years later, Nora says, the memory prompting her to grab a photo book created to celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary last August.

A fire in a bedroom of an Oak Bay home pulled firefighters from their beds early Wednesday morning – and one lucky resident.

Oak Bay Fire was called to the home in the 2300 bock of Eastdowne Road around 12:30 a.m. on June 25.

“Upon arrival flames were showing through the upper dorm window,” said deputy chief Dave Cockle. “Initial actions by the fire department were to knock that flame down.”

When the smoke was too thick for deputy chief Tom Pearse to initially enter the lower level to check for occupants, Lt. Gord Marshall donned full gear to wake a resident in the home. Two other occupants were already out of the house.

“Determination is that it’s accidental,” Cockle said. “The

damage is going to be around the $100,000 mark.”

The fire was contained to the upper hallway and upper bedroom where the blaze started.

Victoria and Saanich fire departments also attended. No injuries were reported by firefighters or the residents who were checked over and released by B.C. Ambulance paramedics.

“It was a very successful save on the part of the fire department,” said [email protected]

Oak Bay set its public hearing for its draft official community plan for Sept. 9.

Council passed the first two readings and sent the document off to agencies such as the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations, Capital Regional District, neighbouring municipalities and the provincial and federal governments for review.

Workshops and open houses started in May 2013 and the last public session was held late last month for the OCP review, led by an advisory committee.

“I feel very much more connected to the community in very different ways and on different levels as a result of their process,” said Coun. Pam Copley, who chaired the committee.

A handful of people took advantage of public participation time Monday night

to address concerns – both for and opposed to – population growth and infill housing addressed in the draft OCP.

“We know our community is changing and will continue to change,” said Mayor Nils Jen-sen. “It is important to remem-ber this is a living document … this isn’t written in stone.”

Residents will again have a say at the public hearing Sept. 9 at Monterey recreation centre, 1442 Monterey Ave. at 6 [email protected]

In an Oak Bay kitchen “tasteless ice cubes” of frozen tea gave way, with much sweat equity, to tasty organic frozen tea treats.

The tea creation came to fruition after a moment in the Baker family kitchen just over two years ago.

Brothers David, then 8, made tea while Josh, then 10, made traditional frozen pops. A conversation ensued that left mom, Dr. Dionne Laslo-Baker, wondering ‘what if?’

David, hadn’t eaten refined sugar since he was three, Laslo-Baker explains, preferring and thriving on a “from the earth” diet. She envisioned her younger child enjoying a healthy pop on a hot

summer day. Backed, and encouraged, by her PhD focused on maternal-fetal toxicology she started by learning more about the science behind tea.

“I was shocked to find health benefits head to toe,” Laslo-Baker says. “I was blown away. We started drinking way more tea. There’s a real science here.”

Within two months DeeBees Organics was formal and the long road toward production that now stocks grocers freezers across the region, and nation as far as Quebec, contain five different flavours of the TeaPops.

The entrepreneur figures they’re hitting a niche, and it’s well-timed with people looking for desert options that check a list of health musts.

Certified organic, kosher, non-GMO, nut free and naturally gluten-free and vegan, they’re produced with fresh brewed Fair Trade tea (in most cases a naturally non caffeinated variety) and

organic fruit. Those ingredients backstop the first of

three pillars of the business – pureness.Second is philanthropy. The business

donates partial proceeds to Power to Be, One Per Cent for the Planet, Non-GMO project and Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. That’s where she and her surgeon husband both trained, which

leads to the third pillar – opportunity.

With Laslo-Baker, who has completed years of in-depth studies on the effect of chemicals on fetal development and her husband Dr. Stephen

Baker, as heads of the company there’s an opportunity to share peer-reviewed scientific research into the health benefits of the products they use. “I can use this as a stage to give voice to science,” she says. Educate on organics, and what GMO is. “I want to give that voice, show the research.” Informative shows like Dr. Oz are a top of her list.

While they contract a plant (out East) that can produce 80 to 100,000 pops a day, the small, original Oak Bay plant can still produce 5,000 a day. It’s also where the magic continues with research and development. There the mint gets more minty and coconut more creamy. With five flavours of TeaPops on the shelves, more treats are to come.

“We’re always improving the taste, when you go from tiny to big, something changes,” she says. These days famed Victoria dessert chef, D’Arcy Ladret is tweaking and improving recipes. Laslo-Baker is pleased with the rapid growth of the business that still yields quality product.

“I made them good enough that I could feel good about David eating them,” she says. “They didn’t taste good initially. We’d have big parties, invite tons of kids over and watch which ones they’d chuck.”

Oak Bay family takes tea sensation to the world

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

YOUR VIEW

Although I’m proudly Canadian, my early memories are mixed. After Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, our government unfairly deprived my family of citizenship rights and exiled us to the B.C. Interior, even though we were born and raised here. But my love of nature flourished during that time in the spectacular Slocan Valley.

As a young adult, I moved to the U.S. for educational opportunities not available in Canada. Disturbed by overt racism in the American South, I eventually returned to my increasingly tolerant homeland. I preferred Canada, which to me meant Tommy Douglas and Medicare, Quebec, the National Film Board and CBC. I’ve never regretted my choice.

Canadians have strived to move beyond inequality and intolerance to create an inclusive and caring society, where education, public health, social programs and enlightened laws provide numerous opportunities. We’re not there yet, but we’ve come a long way in our relatively short history as a nation.

Surrounded by the world’s longest and most diverse coastline, our mountains, forests, prairies, rivers, lakes, valleys and skies define us and instill wonder and pride. Canada is nature. And nature is life. We know this.

Lately, the tide has been turning. Instead of protecting the increasingly precious and threatened natural systems that keep us alive and healthy, our leaders are rushing to

scar the landscape with mines, roads and pipelines to sell our resources as quickly as possible to global markets. From tar sands expansion to fracking, federal and provincial governments

are blindly proceeding with little thought about long-term consequences.

In 2007, our prime minister called climate change “perhaps the greatest threat to the future of humanity.” Now he says, “No matter what they say, no country is going to take actions that are going to deliberately destroy jobs and growth in their country.” Yet,

many actions our industries and governments are taking will hurt the ability to create jobs and keep the economy prosperous. Clean energy and educated citizens are healthier investments than an increasingly risky fossil fuel industry — and we can’t hope for abundant jobs and a thriving economy on a planet suffering the ever-worsening consequences of global warming.

Canada was once seen as a country where respect for each other and our land, air, water and biodiversity were valued. Now, some government leaders and their industry and media supporters threaten those who dare question the mad scramble for short-sighted, short-term profits at the expense of the environment, our health and the world’s climate systems, and label us “radicals.”

If it’s radical to insist on maintaining and strengthening values that have long defined us as a nation,

then we’ll wear the label proudly. We are radically Canadian! That means building on the progress we’ve made over the years to create a society based on compassion, equity and respect for the people and places we know and love.

Canada has long been known as a country that gets it right, that treats its citizens well, cares for the land that gives us so much and plays a constructive role on the world stage. But now we’re lagging in many areas, our hard-earned reputation suffering. We’re no longer a leader in protecting the conditions that make Canada one of the best places on Earth for citizens and visitors alike.

Enshrining the right to a healthy environment in the Constitution’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms would help get Canada back on track. More than 110 countries have constitutional environmental rights. But not Canada. It’s not just about protecting birds, bees and trees; it’s about social justice and ensuring all citizens have the right to the conditions necessary for healthy, fruitful lives.

Do you treasure our spectacular natural landscapes, clean water and air and abundant natural resources? Do you value our commitment to fairness, enlightened social programs, education and public health? Do you believe we should do all we can to protect the things that make this country great?

Now is a good time to reflect on these questions, on where we are as a nation and where we want to be. Happy Canada Day!

- With Ian Hanington

Here’s to a radical Canada Day

We should heed UN’s warming warning

The United Nations report on Global Warming warns of the huge effects the world’s ever-increasing human population will have on every man, woman and child.

The effects are pretty daunting to hear. The results are already being felt worldwide. We are

presently spared the eventual magnitude of the problem we, or our children will face.

As island people by choice, we are very dependent upon

others to grow and transport foodstuffs to us. The U.S., and in particular California, have provided an abundance of crops to sustain us. We have, until now, taken this for granted.

Environmental effects, more recently, have interfered with their ability to irrigate and grow the food we need. Transportation to this island has also more recently been a factor. This demonstrates how vulnerable we really are on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands.

So, what can we do about all this?England has declared it will attempt to be

the greenest country in Europe. Resources of plants and trees are being made available to every citizen there. Infrastructure put in place will encourage and help its people achieve this. The two very small islands of Jersey and Guernsey already produce an abundance of food for the British market.

As long as we don’t entirely cover our green spaces with housing, we have an abundance of arable land surrounding us, as well as enough yard space for every home owner to sustain a goodly amount of their needs. This can be a challenge to young folk and a diversion from inside isolation and boredom.

They, more than we older relatives, are going to need it as they struggle to survive in a harsh world.

We have been warned.

A dozen preschoolers will return home extra dirty this fall.

The kids will have hands-on outdoor education as the Natural Wonders Preschool brings the licensed program, where children explore and learn in the natural world, to Oak Bay.

“It just seems to be the way things are going. There seems to be a push for more outdoors and hands-on education,” said Erin Stockill, acting community recreation programmer for

licensed care at Recreation Oak Bay. “I think it’s because we live in such a great community and great climate for it.”

An outdoor preschool also fills a niche the community was looking to fill, she said.

The program will run at Henderson recreation centre on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 to 11 a.m. starting in September and ending in June for $159 a month.

“At this point for us, it depends on numbers, but we’re looking to have about 12 kids and two staff. We have a

maximum of 13, but we could run with less kids. As long as we can get kids out into nature we’re happy,” Stockill said. “We look forward to getting it launched and hope to have it forever.”

The program is designed for kids aged three and older and is situated outdoors for the majority of each day, while children let nature be their guide.

For registration information go to recreation.oakbay.ca or call Stockill at 250-370-7207 or Henderson reception at 250-370-7200.

Do you treasure our spectacular natural landscapes, clean water and air and abundant natural resources? Do you value our commitment to fairness, enlightened social programs, education and public health? Do you believe we should do all we can to protect the things that make this country great?

Now is a good time to reflect on these questions, on where we are as a nation and where we want to be. Happy Canada Day!

- With Ian Hanington

Here’s to a radical Canada Day

We should heed UN’s warming warning

The United Nations report on Global Warming warns of the huge effects the world’s ever-increasing human population will have on every man, woman and child.

The effects are pretty daunting to hear. The results are already being felt worldwide. We are

presently spared the eventual magnitude of the problem we, or our children will face.

As island people by choice, we are very dependent upon

others to grow and transport foodstuffs to us. The U.S., and in particular California, have provided an abundance of crops to sustain us. We have, until now, taken this for granted.

Environmental effects, more recently, have interfered with their ability to irrigate and grow the food we need. Transportation to this island has also more recently been a factor. This demonstrates how vulnerable we really are on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands.

So, what can we do about all this?England has declared it will attempt to be

the greenest country in Europe. Resources of plants and trees are being made available to every citizen there. Infrastructure put in place will encourage and help its people achieve this. The two very small islands of Jersey and Guernsey already produce an abundance of food for the British market.

As long as we don’t entirely cover our green spaces with housing, we have an abundance of arable land surrounding us, as well as enough yard space for every home owner to sustain a goodly amount of their needs. This can be a challenge to young folk and a diversion from inside isolation and boredom.

They, more than we older relatives, are going to need it as they struggle to survive in a harsh world.

We have been warned.

Esquimalt and Songhees Nations are receiving official replicas of the Douglas Treaties as the Royal B.C. Museum awaits word on the documents’ world heritage status from UNESCO.

The 1850s land deal documents are being made more accessible after “entire generations” of First Nations have gone without seeing the once-secretive treaties, said Jack Lohman, CEO of Royal BC Museum.

“It’s such an important part of the heritage of First Nations, and it’s part of our commitment to share our treasures with everybody,” Lohman said. “And this way, both nations have a part of their own heritage.”

The Douglas treaties were signed in the 1850s and remained the only written agreements with aboriginal people in B.C. until the Nisga’a treaty in 2000. The 14 land title documents were held up by the Supreme Court of Canada as a basis to protect aboriginal

rights, and they continue to fuel First Nations lawsuits and land settlements with the province and Canada.

Songhees Chief Ron Sam said he recognizes the treaties are part of his nation’s history, and he felt it was important to stand with the museum in acknowledging their significance.

“A lot of people forget we did sign treaties here,” Sam said. “There is some back and forth over whether we honour them or want to forget about them. We’re in court right now battling over one of our Douglas treaties, but it is important for us to acknowledge them.”

The Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations filed separate lawsuits covering 376 acres in Saanich’s Cadboro Bay in 2012, a matter still before the courts.

The latest announcement coincides with UNESCO’s annual general meeting, held in Victoria for the first time last week. UNESCO officials met with Sam and Esquimalt Chief Andy Thomas, and the original Douglas Treaties were brought from the B.C. Archives to the

Songhees Wellness Centre during a community dinner earlier this month.

“I believe that’s the first time they’ve ever left the building,” Lohman said.

Sam said the community dinner provided a chance for UNESCO officials to learn about Songhees Nation traditions and aspirations with their new conference centre at 1100 Admirals Rd.

Lohman said he’s still awaiting word on whether the Douglas Treaties will receive world heritage status from UNESCO’s Memory of the World committee in France.

“We have such great diversity of living heritage here through First Nations living languages,” he said. “My sense is that B.C. should and must lead Canada in a new recognition of intangible cultural heritage.”

Hogweed, cow parsnip have major differences

Don DescoteauNews staff

Two boys who developed a skin reaction from a plant species they were clearing near their school earlier this month can feel lucky it wasn’t giant hogweed.

The plants in question, which had grown in a Garry oak meadow, turned out to be cow parsnip, or Heracleum maximum. It’s a native species and member of the carrot family that has mild photoreactive properties, meaning its secretions can cause minor irritation or blistering in people with more sensitive skin.

Cow parsnip, although generally much smaller and featuring different physical characteristics, resembles giant hogweed. That invasive species contains a highly toxic sap on its leaves and stem hairs which can cause hypersensitivity to the sun if contacted on the skin.

Both have umbrella-like clusters of white flowers at the end of long stems, but the leaves are different and hogweed can grow to five or six metres high, compare to a maximum of about two metres for cow parsnip.

Rachelle McElroy is executive director with the Coastal Invasive Species Committee, which works with municipal and regional jurisdictions to combat invasive species here. She said one of their subcontractors visited the

school and treated the plants with a herbicide, a rare move given that cow parsnip is native, but one taken due to the reaction it caused.

While the boys did suffer some discomfort, she said the incident – and the time of year – provide a good opportunity to learn the difference between cow parsnip and the giant hogweed, and to identify other invasive species or potentially harmful plants.

“I think the message here is that not all plants are created equal,” she said. “It’s important, as part of environmental education and to know for yourself, about certain types of plants.”

Private property owners are responsible for taking care

of their own land, McElroy said. On public land, the various municipal and regional jurisdictions, working with Coastal ISC contractors, have combined to do a good job of controlling hogweed in the region, she said.

While her group fields many calls at this time of year from people either reporting hogweed or asking questions about what they might have discovered, most often the plant in question is cow parsnip or one of several similar looking native plants.

For more information on differences between the plants visit coastalisc.com and click on invasive species, or call 250-857-2472.

Skin reaction a call for education

The leaves of the giant hogweed, left, are distinctly serrated, while those of the native cow parsnip, right, tend to be three-pronged, almost like a maple leaf.

“We have four, big, tall grandsons and six great-grandchildren,” Nora boasts, opening the book. Smiling faces fill the pages and she has tales of all. One’s a nurse at Royal Jubilee, another has a single-scull rowing scholarship and spends time on the waters of Elk Lake. So many faces and stories to remember, but she does.

She also has tales of socializing over tea after church with friends. The Drysdales attend nearby St. Phillips, participating in annual events such as the summer picnic and Christmas party.

“We’re never home,” Nora says. “We just are well enough that we keep going.”

The happy couple has kept up a busy pace since retirement. Ted worked 30 years for the City of Victoria, maintaining its fleet of vehicles. Nora retired from multiple part-time jobs that ranged

from Sears to Campus View elementary and Buttons ‘n Bows just down the street.

Her $100 a month pension went into a travel fund and they spent decades RVing up and down the West Coast, often incorporating camping trips with another fond endeavour – square dancing. For 50 years they do-si-do-ed, primarily with The Promenaders, and spent time each year in Pemberton. Once they even danced in Hawaii. That travel has diminished in recent years.

“We’re starting to slow down a bit, I guess,” Ted reluctantly admits, adding with a chuckle, “I guess we’re getting old.”

Yet they’re still busy. “We’re not ready for the

veterans home yet,” Ted says. He and fellow musicians,

however, do perform there. Ted plays slide whistle and tenor banjo with the Nutones, rehearsing once a week and for the last dozen years playing monthly gigs at The Lodge at Broadmead and other Greater Victoria seniors residences.

“He plays tunes. He can play all the notes. The ladies love it,” Nora laughs and casts a flirty glance at her [email protected]

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

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

Safety Tip:As the summer BBQ season and Canada Day celebrations kick off, it’s important to remember how deadly of a combination drinking and driving can be. Arrange for

a designated driver or use other options to get home safely.

Question of the WeekBob McHugh in his review of the Lincoln MKC reveals there is a new technology called “park out assist” which gets your vehicle out of the tight parking sport that the “park assist” shoehorned you into! Is this kind of technology in danger of diminishing a driver’s control skills?

Lincoln luxury at a non-premium priceSanta Barbara, Calif. - The MKC is the first (luxury) compact utility vehicle from Lin-coln and, while related, it’s very different from the Ford Escape. Development of both vehicles started with Ford’s global “C” platform, but other than its base 2.0 litre turbo-engine, the MKC has little else in common with its Ford counterpart. All-wheel-drive is standard (in Canada) on all three editions of the MKC and a start price just under $40,000 is also inviting compared to other luxury CUVs such as the Acura RDX ($41,390) and BMW X3 ($42,800). (A top-line Ford Escape, by the way, is listed at $35,699). The MKC is the second of four all-new product launches intended to redefine Lincoln. The first being the Lincoln MKZ last year, an all-new MKX is expected next year and a, so-far unnamed, full-sized sedan will follow. The new Lincoln styling theme includes smooth clean lines a slick shape (described as “graceful ath-leticism”) and up front, there’s a contemporary take on the traditional Lincoln split-wing grille.Another eye-catching feature of the MKC is around back, a huge wraparound lift gate includes full-width LED rear lighting assemblies. This unique one-piece hydro-formed steel door opens like a clamshell and allows complete access to the cargo area. An optional hands-free feature also allows it to open with a kick-ing motion below the rear bumper. The MKC also has a roomy feel to its interior, particu-larly for front seat occupants. A dash that slants away, towards the windshield, adds to its airy ambiance. It’s also a much quieter cabin than its stable mate, with numerous built-in sound deadening features that in-clude a noise control system that eliminates unwanted sound waves and enhances others. Available inside accent trims include brushed alumi-num or open-pore Zebrano and Santos Rosewood that

can be matched with standard, made in Scotland, Bridge of Weir “Deepsoft” leather upholstery. The premium car ex-perience actually starts as you approach the MKC with an accent welcoming lighting feature that’s automatically ac-tivated (by the key fob) when an owner is within 2.4 metres (8-ft). Our 320-kilometre-plus route took us away from the coast along the scenic Jacento Reyes Byway. This lightly trav-elled twisty two-lane road gets narrow in sections. It also presented some spectacular vistas along the way and some intimidating cliff faces and rock formations.I was impressed with the MKC’s predict-able handling characteristics through the twisty sections. It was stable, very forgiving at higher speeds and generally more agile than expected for a utility

vehicle - especially after I finally figured out how to set-up the driving modes, called Lincoln Drive Control. The normal, comfort and sport settings for the sus-pension and steering are preset (via vehicle settings on the instrument panel and customizable to a limited extent) by a driver to function with “D” and “S” transmission selections. It’s a different and somewhat complex way of providing this feature. Push-button transmission selection is another feature that I wouldn’t get excited about. I get the space-sav-ing functionality and the historic connection to Lin-coln, but still prefer a shift lever. Manual operation of the transmission’s six speeds can be done via paddle shifters on the steering wheel. The shifts, however, could be crisper and the system tends to be very pro-tective of the engine (over-revving) on downshifts. Only MKC vehicles with the new 2.3-litre twin-scroll turbo engine were available to drive at this U.S. event, which would price tag them close to $50,000 in Can-ada. An impressively smooth and quiet performer (in this application) this engine can produce 285-horse-

power compared to the base 2.0-litre’s 240-horsepow-er, which is the top engine in an Escape. As you might expect, the 2.0L engine gets better fuel economy, but the difference is minimal and both can run on regular grade fuel. All the latest driver-assist technologies are avail-able with MKC including, adaptive cruise control, a collision warning system, blind-sport alert, cross-traffic alert and park assist, with a unique new wrinkle... park-out assist. This added feature can now auton-omously steer that MKC out of that tight parallel parking spot into which it put the MKC! Lincoln may be a little late in joining the booming compact luxury utility club, but the MKC is certainly an impressively well put-together new member and it’s priced to sell.

Mon.-Sat. 8 am-6 pm Sunday 10 am-5 pm

DrivewayBC.ca

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

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

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

England. Scenery aside, what was the most interesting to breathe in was the enthusiasm and energy of the Miata owners.Liz Burns has “Miatatude” stick-ered across her windshield. Miata earrings dangle from her ears as she professes her love of her emerald beauty.Another owner decided to turn his conventional doors into ones that open up not out.At breakfast, lunch and dinner, they regale each other with sto-ries of other events they’ve been on. Outbursts of laughter perk up the ears of bystanders; making them wish they were at that table reliving the memories. The cama-raderie of those young and young at heart is undisputable.Regardless of background,

profession, or preference in exterior colour, few vehicles in the world bring people together as strongly as Mazda’s MX-5.Liz was one of the first members of the Trillium Miata Club. She expect-ed to join a group of Miata owners and drive with them on weekends. Liz says she “didn’t expect to make friends for 25 years” but she did.And as the Miata/MX-5 turns 25 this year, here’s to another quarter century of promote the best that life has to offer: the bond of man-kind and machine, 167 horsepower at a time.

Driving RB10s, Daniel and Sebastian explain the track’s unique characteristics as they dual around the 4.3

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

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

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

Celebrating with a Spyder



A silver finish is good enough for the Carnarvon U14B team.

The girls ball team had an astounding season finishing with a 32-2 record heading into district finals last weekend at Rom Knott Park in Central Saanich.

They went 2-2 on the weekend to finish second to a View Royal team with only slight disappointment.

“We didn’t quite play our best ball on the weekend, fortunately two teams go through to provincials,” said coach Bill Hawkins.

The year included topping the podium at a Mainland tournament that featured top teams in the province.

“They had a remarkable season. The girls, some of them started as early as August of last year,” Hawkins said.

“We’ve worked with the girls since they’re eight and nine years old most of them. They’re a hard working group of young athletes.”

A key part of the successful season Hawkins says is the coaching staff of six. Three are young women from the community, one is a former college ball player and another is entering her senior year of university.

“I think part of the success is successful athletes coming back and helping the next generation. Having young adult female coaches work with them is inspiring,” Hawkins said. “It’s community building … Those

experiences that the young women had, they remember they had similar experiences and that’s why they come back.”

The girls head to provincials July 11 to 13 in North Delta.

“We know we have played

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

Help Prevent Heart Attacks with Vitamin C and Lysine Powder

Why is heart attack the number one killer in this

country? Ninety-nine percent of doctors say it’s due to athero-sclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiolo-gists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack.

Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy colla-gen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Two-time Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling reported twenty-five years ago it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack.

Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Welling-ton University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens’ research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death.

Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries.

Sixteen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs. Instead, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal.

I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking cholesterol lowering drugs (CLD’s). I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications.

I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens ir-refutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent.

But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years I’ve been trying to find a company that would manufacture a combination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus™ is available at health food stores and specialty pharmacies.

The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop mixed with water or juice with breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day.

This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. That is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors.

As for me – I bet my life on vitamin C and lysine! I turned 90 this year.

The Carnarvon Falcons are on the way to provincials

The U14 girls played eight games taking the long way to the finals after an early loss in round robin play at district finals. It meant four back-to-back games on knockout Sunday to finish second in the 12-team tournament.

“We played games every two hours. The girls did excellent,” said coach Donny Leong.

“It was one of our major team goals. At the beginning of the year we had a bit of a challenge with a lot of new players,” he added. “We had a goal to play .500 ball all year.”

Heading into district championships they added a higher bar – provincials.

The Falcons, who play out of Fireman’s Park in Oak Bay, boast an unusual 15-player roster, but they’ve made it work.

“We have a good mix of kids. We have kids from five different schools,” he said. “We try to keep kids playing. That’s always the goal of a sport in house league.”

With a smaller population pool to draw from, it’s a task to develop a talented team.

“It’s rare for Oak Bay to send girls teams to the provincial championships because there’s just not that many kids to pull from,” he said. “We’ve been able to keep a core group of girls playing together for four years.”

They kept a solid core, and added the new players over the years, winding up with one team bearing 15 kids and as the year went on, their confidence grew.

“Every player played better,” Leong said. “We’ve built on our success slowly. Three years ago, we won the B division; last year, we won the city championship; this year it’s provincials. It’s little tiny steps every year as we get a little bit older.”

Only a lack of funds to cover the unexpected cost of travel and equipment can stop them now, said Leong. The Carnarvon U14 Falcons hope to raise funds to help parents cover the costs of the trip to Ridge Meadows for the tournament July 4 to 6.

“We’re trying to fundraise to cover travel, hotel, some equipment,” Leong said. “Things you worry about when you’re a house team.

Time was, a Realtor’s job was to identify potential homes for clients then guide them through the myriad legal details surrounding the buying and selling of property.

Those roles are still there, but technology and clients’ expectations have brought changes that have re-shaped the Realtor’s career.

“The role of the Realtor has changed, especially in the last 10 or 15 years,” says Tim Ayres, president of the Victoria Real Estate Board.

He notes that while much of the Realtor’s job had been information gathering for home shoppers, the Internet now allows people to do much of that legwork themselves.

Today, a Realtor’s value is not only in how well-versed they are on the legal ins and outs of home buying and selling, but also in their mar-keting skills and ability to stay well-informed about the community in which they’re selling. Examples are trends in the marketplace, demo-graphics, schools, transportation issues, and development plans.

Fortunately, Greater Victoria is small enough that Realtors can familiarize themselves quite easily with neighbourhoods from Sooke to Sidney. But Ayres suggests Realtors often find success in focusing on a particular part of the region.

This diverse knowledge base is all the more important when working with clients from outside the region, such as those relocating with the military or RCMP, or retirees seeking the promise of mild winters.

While the Internet has changed

the Realtor’s role, it’s also dramati-cally changed the way they do busi-ness. Realtors selling a property should be savvy to today’s technol-ogy, using video, photography and floor plans to provide prospective buyers with a full picture of a prop-erty, for example.

“An online presence is key,” Ayres says. “Make sure what you’re doing (to market a property) is what peo-ple want to see.”

Homes can be viewed via iPad,

prices negotiated by text and con-tracts reviewed via smart phone.

At the same time, there’s a lot to be said for a Realtor’s ability to con-nect with clients on a personal level.

Patrick Skillings has been a Real-tor for 30 years, and believes in the time-honoured approach of one-on-one contact with clients, and of being genuinely interested in those he meets – as people, not only the means to a potential sale, he says.

While it takes work, maintaining

contact with clients in the years fol-lowing a home sale or purchase also helps keep connections active and promote word-of-mouth advertising. Skillings points out, for example, that he recently worked with a client he’d helped to buy a home almost three decades earlier.

“Clients like the fact that we com-municate on a variety of different levels, not just about a particular piece of property,” he says.

“An online presence is key,” Ayres says. “Make sure what you’re doing (to market a property) is what peo-ple want to see.”

Homes can be viewed via iPad,

prices negotiated by text and con-tracts reviewed via smart phone.

At the same time, there’s a lot to be said for a Realtor’s ability to con-nect with clients on a personal level.

Patrick Skillings has been a Real-tor for 30 years, and believes in the time-honoured approach of one-on-one contact with clients, and of being genuinely interested in those he meets – as people, not only the means to a potential sale, he says.

While it takes work, maintaining

contact with clients in the years fol-lowing a home sale or purchase also helps keep connections active and promote word-of-mouth advertising. Skillings points out, for example, that he recently worked with a client he’d helped to buy a home almost three decades earlier.

“Clients like the fact that we com-municate on a variety of different levels, not just about a particular piece of property,” he says.

Happy birthday, Canada!With celebrations complete in

Oak Bay today (noon to 2 p.m. at municipal hall) there are some events in Greater Victoria to celebrate national pride.

To celebrate Canada’s 147th birthday on Tuesday (July 1), the City of Victoria has announced a huge line up of family-friendly events, multicultural programming and fireworks along Victoria’s Inner Harbour.

“We are excited to be offering an expanded range of family-friendly activities and multicultural performances this year,” said Charlayne Thornton-Joe, City of Victoria councillor and Canada Day organizer.

“We invite the community to come downtown to join us in celebrating the multicultural diversity that makes up Canada.”

The Canada Day Kid’s Zone will return to Belleville Street with many interactive activities. Award-winning children’s entertainer Charlotte Diamond will take centre stage Tuesday afternoon.

The ever-popular Living Flag will return to the B.C. legislature lawns and 1,500 red and white T-shirts will be available.

Main stage highlights on July 1 will transform the B.C. legislature lawns into a one-of-a-kind concert. Headlining this year will be Victoria-

based, three-piece folk rock and reggae band, Jon and Roy.

A strong mix of local and cultural acts will also be showcased on the main stage, including Victoria’s indie newcomers, Towers and Trees, and Kikeyambay, a B.C.-based group that combines musicians and dancers as a modern

and dynamic Afro-fusion electric band. Throughout the day, a variety of multicultural performers, including Masala, Compaigni V’ni Dansi’s ‘Louis Riel Métis Dancers’, Cookeilidh and the Sunshine Fitness Club.

A Flavour of Canada will return with an international food village and sponsor activity tents on Belleville Street, while Ship Point will play host to expanded family-oriented performances on the Ska Fest Stage.

To celebrate Ska Fest’s 15th anniversary, the City of Victoria and the Ska Society have partnered to develop a diverse program of reggae, ska and world beat music. Victoria Celebrates Canada Day entertainment at Ship Point will feature Dope Soda as the headliner, with Brave New Waves, the New Groovement, Leg up Program and Whitey keeping the mood light throughout the day.

Victoria Celebrates Canada Day will continue its “green” initiatives, including biodegradable vendors’ food containers, increased recycling on site, and paper mâché fireworks. If you want to cycle in from Oak Bay, they have bike valet service, offering a safe place to lock up bicycles for those who want to take sustainable transportation to the event.
