First World War centenary raises commemoration questions Kyle Wells News staff
Kyle Wells/News staff
Geoffrey Bird, an associate professor at Royal Roads University, stands next to a war memorial near Hatley Castle. Those planning to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War should be mindful of sensitivities of minorities and other groups around wartime actions, he says. They’re all questions those who plan commemoration events need to ask, said Bird, a former guide at Vimy Ridge. “We often talk about remembrance and remembering, but we aren’t witnesses to it. So when we remember, in terms of war, it’s about learning, imagining and reflecting. “Part of the question with remembrance is to make

Remembering war a complicated act Since the end of the First World War in 1918, debates have been waged on how best to commemorate the “war to end all wars.” With the 100th anniversary of the start of the war coming up July 28, communities and organizations in Canada and around the world are facing questions of how to mark the occasion. Today at Royal Roads University, a forum is helping local parties discuss and plan approaches and opportunities for commemorating the war throughout the centenary period of 2014 to 2018. “The idea is just to talk about some of theses controversies and how they should be handled,” said Geoffrey Bird, an associate professor in tourism and hospitality management at RRU and organizer of the event. There is much to consider behind every decision. How do you include voices from all the minorities and groups involved in the war? How do you address the complexity of the situation? How do you commemorate death and sacrifice without glorifying war?

about this long since past war. Staff plan to use social media to put out information on the fort’s role in the war and Victoria at the time. The campaign will centre on written correspondence between two brothers fighting overseas and their sister in Victoria. PlEASE SEE: War history, Page A22
Langford library step closer The Greater Victoria Public Library board will work with the City of Langford to create a 4,000-square-foot branch in the proposed YMCA-YWCA recreation centre. The board last week approved a plan to move forward with the project. The new Y is expected to open in early 2016 on Langford Parkway in the Westhills development. Library board chair Greg Bunyan said the move makes sense with the growing population of families on the West Shore. He added that the GVPL looks forward to exploring “new program and partnership possibilities” to serve the area. Langford Mayor Stew Young said the neighbourhood branch will be “put to good use by our residents and helps address the longterm needs of our growing community.” GVPL plans to keep the public informed as plans for the new branch are developed. Library patrons can visit gvpl.ca/langford for updates. editor@goldstream gazette.com

Colwood works with public on sewage plan Colwood’s quest to create its own sewage treatment plant continues with a public open house today (April 30) from 5 to 8 p.m. at Colwood Pentecostal Church (2250 Sooke Rd.). Residents are invited to learn more about Colwood’s approach to the sewage treatment plan
and to offer input. Due to projected costs for residents, the city recently applied for and was approved by the Capital Regional District to build its own sewage treatment facility, separate from a regional facility. The city is now looking at its options for how and where to
build the facility, though an area near the park and ride at West Shore Parks and Recreation has been identified as a likely site. For more information on the open house visit colwood.ca or call director of engineering Michael Baxter at 250-478-5999. news@goldstreamgazette.com

RCMP offers summer driving safety tips
There’s more on line - vicnews.com
Motorists, pedestrians can get along better using some simple strategies Kyle Wells News staff
A rash of recent incidents, including the death of a pedestrian on Goldstream Avenue in Langford, is prompting police to remind drivers, pedestrians and cyclists alike to slow down, take your time and be cautious. West Shore RCMP Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz said the return of fair weather can bring out the worst in drivers, breeding overconfidence in good driving conditions. It also brings out more pedestrians and cyclists, as people emerge from a winter spent mainly indoors. “Our days are getting longer and people are out enjoying the pleasant weather,” Rochlitz said. “So it’s a timely reminder to talk about some safety. … Everybody’s got to do their part.” While no specific programs are in place as a response to the recent incidents, she said RCMP have identified road and traffic safety as priorities for enforcement this year.
West Shore RCMP Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz warns about common hazards. Police are making efforts to be more visible and are targeting specific behaviours, such as distracted driving from cellphone use. Pedestrians are reminded to make eye contact with drivers and cyclists before crossing the road and to take time to use marked crosswalks. Drivers need to make eye contact with pedestrians at crosswalks, but also in intersections, Rochlitz said. While drivers tend to keep a close eye on traffic, such as in a four-way stop, they sometimes fail to notice people

crossing the road. “(You’re) rushing it, trying to find that hole in traffic,” she said. When drivers have that sense of ‘I need to make a move, I need to go,’ she added, it creates trouble because they’re not paying attention to their full field of view. Obeying amber lights – not racing to beat the red – increases intersection safety, especially when drivers in the opposite direction are waiting to turn left. In general, drivers need to slow down, have patience and pay attention, Rochlitz said. “People don’t give themselves five to 10 minutes of wiggle room. They’re (thinking), ‘I’ve got to get there. I’m late for work. I’m rushing home because I have to pick the kids up.’ All of those types of things play into these situations.” Cyclists are reminded to ride on the right-hand side and to stay off sidewalks, unless the skill level or age of the rider makes it unsafe for them to be on the road.
Following these basic rules will help to avoid some of the incidents seen lately, Rochlitz said. “When we are courteous and communicate with others, the systems work.” kwells@goldstreamgazette.com
Round and round Roundabouts can be a source of confusion and frustration for drivers and pedestrians. Observing a few simple rules can help you navigate your way around: n Signal to get off the roundabout so that those waiting to get on know it is safe to do so n If a driver isn’t signalling, assume they are continuing around the roundabout and don’t try to pull in front of them n Don’t enter the roundabout until you are sure it is safe to do so n As you exit, watch for people on crosswalks and be prepared to stop

Auxiliary cops get started undergoing heavy training Volunteer requirements numerous for new constables Rick Stiebel Special to the Gazette
Serving as an RCMP Auxiliary Constable is a monumental commitment that takes volunteering to a different level. After successfully completing 160 hours of extensive training, West Shore RCMP Auxiliary Constables must serve 160 hours a year of volunteer service at the detachment. The training involves completing courses developed by the Justice Institute of B.C., with assistance from the RCMP and municipal police forces. “It’s a long, arduous process that requires a huge commitment,” said Cole Brewer, Auxiliary Constable Program co-ordinator for the past 18 months. “The security clearance requirements alone are much more involved than for the regular volunteers we have at the detachment.” Main elements recruits learn about include use-of-force training, the criminal justice system, responsibilities under federal, provincial and municipal legislation, professionalism, ethics and discretion. Assisting regular members with operational ridealongs, special community events like Rock the Shores, traffic control and helping facilitate such programs as Lock it or Lose it are some of the tasks Auxiliary Constables perform. While regular members may leave or be transferred or pro-

West Shore RCMP has one Auxiliary Constable who has served for 23 years and several others who are approaching the 20-year mark. “Their experience from the work they do and their knowledge of the community are great assets as well.” The eight new auxiliaries who graduated recently will serve the community well, Brewer added. “This group will provide a consistent link to the community.” One of those grads, Esquimalt resident Jevan Deigh, 23, hopes the experience he gains will provide first-hand experience and insight into a career in policing. He sees the program as an excellent opportunity to give back to the community. “The training was pretty in-
depth,” he said. “It required a 110-per-cent commitment and you got out of it what you put in.” Although he had some use-offorce training in past with the security firm he works with, Deigh said this was much more involved. The two exams he had to complete also required “a lot of study.” Deigh has completed four operational ridealongs so far as part of his 160-hour commitment. “The ridealongs were definitely more than I expected. My respect for what the regular members do has gone up bigtime as a result.” Other West Shore RCMP Auxiliary Constable grads at the March 13 ceremony at E Division Headquarters in Victoria were Grayson Kerr, Benjamin Leah, Robin Reichl, James Wingfield, Nicholas Brame, Melissa Sands and Khanh Traan. editor@goldstreamgazette.com (Editor’s note: Rick Stiebel is an employee of West Shore RCMP)

West Shore is arts-ready A quick scan down the list of B.C. Arts Council grants for the most recent uptake period found a noticeable absence of West Shore arts and cultural organizations. With the exception of a $9,041 cheque written to the West Shore Arts Council for operating assistance, and perhaps individual grants to artists living on the West Shore (hard to tell if there were any), there was no indication that groups here are getting government money to provide arts and cultural experiences to local residents and visitors to the West Shore. Sure, organizations have municipal grants to help with operations, but the B.C. Arts Council grants list is generally a good indication of where the action is. That brings us to the point of the need for a dedicated West Shore regional arts facility. Residents from Metchosin to View Royal have attended events in the downtown core for decades, largely because there are few professional or highlevel amateur productions that happen on West Shore. Rock the Shores, one of the Capital Region’s largest music festivals, is a notable exception, but is held in a temporary venue at West Shore Parks and Recreation. With roughly 70,000 residents to draw from – that’s close to 20 per cent of the region’s population base – the time is growing near for the “build it and they will come” mentality to extend to the arts community. A recent low-tech residential survey undertaken by the City of Langford determined that more than anything else, people want to see an arts and culture facility built in the area. It’s one more way to keep West Shore residents on the West Shore. It wouldn’t be good news for our municipal neighbours to the east and south, but it’s a sign of the times. Business has been moving out west for years now due to the population shift. It’s time to start working on the creation of a community arts centre befitting the combined size of our communities, either through West Shore Parks and Recreation, the creation of a separate arts and cultural entity or maybe even our largest jurisdiction, Langford, moving forward on a similar partnership to City Centre Park to get such a facility built. We know West Shore residents would support it, big-time. What do you think? Give us your comments by email: editor@goldstreamgazette.com or fax 250-478-6545.

winters, attributed to human carbon emissions. I grew up in northern B.C., and my last two visits to the Peace country were both in January. In 2004 I recall changing planes on the tarmac of Prince George airport, moving briskly in the daytime temperature near -40 C. That night, and subsequent nights, the mercury dropped to -50 C. In January 2013 I returned for some discussions on the Enbridge pipeline route, and experienced a relatively balmy -30 C in the daytime. So when I hear people talk about the end of cold winters in northern B.C. because of global warming, it’s difficult to square with personal experience. I can hear the rebuttals already. It takes long periods of extreme cold to kill the pine beetle. How long? Longer than those ones, of course. Similarly flexible theories are being advanced to explain the 17-year “pause” in Earth’s average surface temperature rise, the growing Antarctic ice sheet, and this past winter’s “polar vortex.” If anyone has substantial evidence that CO2 from human activity was the trigger mechanism for the latest beetle outbreak in B.C., I’d like to see it. But please, spare me the affirmations of quasireligious faith that often pass for climate change arguments today. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

As we all live on one planet, it is far better for the global environment to build this refinery in Canada. • Construction of the refinery will create 6,000 jobs in B.C. for five years. Operations will produce more direct jobs than any B.C. project ever, approximately 3,000. These will be highly paid permanent jobs. These jobs will be available for the life of the refinery which should be in excess of 50 years. In addition there will be thousands of other jobs created in spinoff local petrochemical companies and in indirect employment throughout B.C. • The Canadian and provincial governments, local regional districts and municipalities, and many First Nations, will share in billions of new tax dollars each year. Unfortunately our Canadian oil companies are not interested in building a new major refinery. They are focused on extraction, which is more profitable than
refining. One of them challenged me to spearhead the refinery myself, so I am doing that. We have a solid business plan and as a consequence, Chinese banks and other institutions are prepared to lend us most of the funds required to build the greenest and most efficient refinery in the world. We are currently moving ahead with engineering design and environmental work. We will also build a safe pipeline from Alberta to the refinery, with the active participation of First Nations. Modern pipelines can be built and operated safely. Leak data is available for everyone to see on Canadian and U.S. government websites and it proves recently constructed pipelines are not leaking. Furthermore, some of the best pipelining companies in the world are based in Canada. We will build a fleet of new tankers powered by LNG rather than Bunker C oil, to transport
LETTERS Reader questions Black’s Kinder Morgan position Re: Refinery the cleanest solution (Opinion, April 23) Your owner, David Black, argues against the Northern Gateway project due to the environmental harm from tanker spills of bitumen. He recommends readers immediately contact their MPs to protest any tanker transport of bitumen.
What is his position regarding the Kinder-Morgan project, which promises an extra bitumen tanker per day through our waters? Frank Mitchell Metchosin
Anointed leader Horgan has a tough job ahead I would like to congratulate Juan de Fuca MLA John Horgan on becoming the apparent leader
of the beleaguered NDP. Mr. Horgan will have his work cut out for him as he tries to make the NDP’s oppositional ideology relevant to British Columbians. As we all know, the NDP has a long history of opposing B.C. resource industries such as mining and renewable energy that create real jobs for British Columbians. In fact, if memory serves me correctly, the NDP
Write to us once had a slogan that B.C. would be “mine free by 1993” which might as well have read “job free.” Given what we know about the many things the NDP opposes, I would like to ask Mr. Horgan to do us all a favour and tell us what he and the NDP actually do support?

the refined products to Asia. This way we know the ships are stateof-the-art and safe. The fleet will be owned by a company based in B.C. so it cannot shirk its legal liability if there ever is a spill at sea. Let me be up front about my biases. I am for creating thousands of good permanent jobs in B.C. I am for creating billions of new tax dollars for government coffers. I am for reducing the planet’s greenhouse gas emissions. I am for building an oil pipeline that will never leak. I am for building a modern fleet that carries only refined fuels that float and evaporate if spilled. I am against shipping bitumen in tankers.

Tackling tough topics with comedy Melanie Orr News intern
For 30 years, Target Theatre Society has been a family to its members and a voice of awareness for audiences. This collective of older adults, 55 plus, has been meeting every Tuesday morning to write, create, plan and act out plays that carry important messages to our senior community. “The first time I saw it, in fact the first two times I saw it, the tears were just …” says Fred Mabey, 82, trailing off at the memory of his first encounter watching I’m Still Here, a research-based drama on living with dementia. Target takes an unusual approach to informing peers, teaching through theatre. They bring light to the hard-to-ask questions about senior health issues like Alzheimer’s and prostate cancer as well as dealing with technology and scams. “There’s always a message that we feel is very beneficial to the elders in the community.” says Mabey, who has been with the group for about 15 years. It all began in 1986 with a weekly acting class called Hamming It Up, taught by Syliva Gamble through Kaleidoscope Theatre. By 1988 the group became a company doing improvisational applied theatre to limited audiences. A year later, they were holding workshops and performing for gerontologists and caregivers. During the next decade, Target began to develop and write original works under the direction of Kate Wilkinson, designed as interactive teaching tools aimed at lay and professional audiences. The actors, ranging in age from 50 to 80 years old, didn’t want the fun to stop and continued to broaden the topic areas and delivery methods. They adopted transformational techniques derived from Brazilian drama teacher Augusto Boal’s theatre of the oppressed which addresses social issues in a practical way. One actor was June Boston, 86, who has become the longest standing member of Target to date. “After my family, it was the love of my life,” says Boston. “If we were planning a vacation,

up to me after a show on Alzheimer’s, he had tears in his eyes, and said, ‘I lived that, everyday. Thank you’.” The theatre group has six plays that are performance ready with a focus on two main topics: health and safety and quality of life. They are frequently hired by private care homes, hospice and professional
groups. In the past, the plays had a fairly serious and dramatic tone with topics about death and dying but now they are slanted towards comedy. Please see: Target shows … next page

“I think we get the message across just the same as when we were doing the serious drama type thing,” says Mabey. Rehearsal space is graciously supplied by Langham Court Theatre, where the actors were gearing up for a three-day Island tour. “Road trip,” says Tony Cain and actor Susan Wilke, in perfect singsong unison, as if a line from a play. “You know we are the new 40s really,” says Cain, 69, Target’s artistic director. “When you see the average age of the group is mid 60s to 70s and what they can do.” This will be the first road trip Boston will miss because of health problems. “If I could go I would,” Boston says. “Even just to share the room with my very best friends.” reporter@saanichnews.com

ried each time their aging loved one gets into the car to drive but, they don’t know what to do.” How about minding their own business? He goes on: “The good news is that everyone cares about road safety. They just don’t know how to begin the conversation. This is an important issue and will become even more important as more drivers age in this province.” BCAA percentages notwithstanding, I am pleased to report that not all authorities believe we are driving to hell in a hand basket. Ted Ockenden, a regional manager for driver licensing at ICBC, says our senior age group is under-represented when it comes to crashes. “They appear very safe in terms of the number of crashes they’re involved in,” he says. Ockenden attributes this to seniors moderating their behavior, driving less and having many years of experience on the road. However, he cautions that seniors are more often at fault in crashes than other age groups. ICBC states that past research has linked kilometres driven with a higher crash rate for seniors. But more recent studies indicate their crash risk, including the risk of being involved in a fatal crash, has been on the decline. Regardless – thanks to BCAA – if I drive my honkin’ big SUV into the front window of the local Golden Arches everyone assumes I’m over the hill. I could be just protesting hiring policies. However, on the evening news, I am that ‘confused elderly gentleman’ who represents a menacing, accident-prone demographic.

once thought the BC Automobile Association was my friend. Not anymore. The BCAA has published a survey that finds that most of our fellow travellers on the road of life get very nervous when they see us elders behind the wheel. And, that includes a significant Brian Kieran percentage of our very own family members. The survey found that a whopping 72 per cent of British Columbians are concerned about the safety of senior drivers. Here’s the real kick in the pants: 54 per cent of senior drivers indicated they are concerned about the safety of drivers in their own age group. So much for senior solidarity. Alarmingly, 32 per cent of those who have a mature driver in the family feel anxious when their loved one gets behind the wheel and lurches off to the corner store. Another 38 per cent say they feel powerless to keep their aging driver safe on the road. Sadly, my spouse falls into this group. She has lost all faith in my ability to multi-task behind the wheel. Even simple stuff freaks her out like changing a CD while merging onto the Pat Bay Highway. Doesn’t experience count for anything? Apparently not.

You go to meals when you want and join in activities that appeal to you. Really, the choices are up to you! “I think if I move into a retirement community I won’t be able to do any of the hobbies and activities I enjoy!” In reality, with the multitude of staff on duty to look after residents’ needs – cooking, cleaning, driving, maintenance jobs, etc. – you now have more time to do the things you want and love to do. “I don’t want to be alone in this new place!” As we age, our lives change – often in unexpected ways. You don’t have to be alone in facing these changes. It can be very comforting to know that almost all residents living in senior living communities have faced the same fears and concerns you have. Senior living communities are a viable option and can enhance the quality of life, empowering you to live your life the way you choose to.

Words from the wise Seventy-four-year-old Lois Smith has lived in Victoria for 48 years after moving from Cape Breton Nova Scotia, where she grew up. Her favourite things to do include her twice weekly card games she enjoys with friends at the Esquimalt Recreation Centre. She says what she loves most in Victoria is the weather and the city. She tries to walk daily around the Cedar Hill Golf Course paths where she gets her exercise. When the warm weather arrives, her favourite walking spot is along the breakwater where she can be near the ocean.
Vision Matters Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.
The puppet mistress Johanna Cutcher is a character. Pronounce her last name wrong and the Oak Bay woman says she won’t speak to you. Ask the 81-yearold about her husband, she will cover her face, turn her head and feign crying, saying that she’s been a widow 25 years and doesn’t remember his name. Ask her about her children, she will respond repeatedly that she has “one perfect child.” Interestingly, she carries around a puppet named Jimmy. “I was born with a sense of humour,” Cutcher says. “That has saved my bacon many times.” Cutcher is originally from Cape Town, South Africa and lived in Ontario for 40 years before moving to Victoria in 2004. The retired elementary school teacher keeps herself busy by participating in Scottish Country dancing at Monterey Centre, meeting with friends and keeping her mind active. She is currently studying archeology and psychology on her own. Another thing she enjoys is travelling, but to one particular place. “I’ve wanted to travel more … to London, England,” Cutcher says. “I’ve been there 12 times and I want to go there more.”

Eye and Vision Myths
Advice, no matter which way you turn, it’s free for the asking. When it comes to health advice, sometimes it is difficult to determine the difference between right and wrong. Here’s a sampling of most common eye and vision myths: “Don’t wear your glasses so often, you need to exercise your eyes!” Wearing glasses does not weaken your eyes. The only thing that happens when you don’t wear them is that you don’t see as well. AND wearing glasses doesn’t mean you have “weak” eyes, either.

“You’ll hurt your eyes if you read in the dark!” Too little light does not damage your sight anymore than too much (do not stare directly into a bright light or the sun, which may cause permanent damage). “Get back from the television! Sitting too close will damage your eyesight! There is no harm in sitting close to a television. However, if you or your child routinely find it necessary to sit close just to see, it’s probably a good idea to make an appointment for an eye exam to ensure your vision is up to snuff. “I need bifocals! I did too much reading and close work over the years.” Wrong, you cannot wear your eyes out by using them, and you certainly cannot preserve your vision by limiting your reading or close work. The need for bifocals or reading glasses is a natural part of the aging process. If you have doubts about any vision and eye advice, be sure to ask your Optometrist.

Semis stressful, Chargers roll in B.C. final Don Descoteau News staff
Don Descoteau/News staff
Box rocks Chance Peskett, left, of the Victoria-Esquimalt Eagles and Westshore Orcas player Cohen Lacey battle for a loose ball during Vancouver Island Minor Lacrosse Commission tyke division action at the West Shore Parks and Recreation outdoor box.
Sometimes a little stress comes in handy. The Victoria Volleyball Association Chargers West 14-under girls team, fresh from winning a nailbiting thriller against the hometown Abbotsford Gamache in the semifinals, had no break to speak of before Saturday’s B.C. Club Championship final, unlike their opponent. But they maintained their momentum and hammered Coquitlam Ducks 25-8, 25-17 for the title. “It was a long day,” said Chargers coach Mike Toakley. “I was concerned that we would kind of be happy having beaten Abbotsford and would be just happy to be there. But as it turned out, we were the ones who
came out all fired up.” The group of 12 and 13 year olds, mostly students at Spencer middle school, showed great composure under pressure, said Toakley, who also coaches at Belmont secondary. “I was super-impressed with how the girls dealt with everything that was thrown at them. The final was almost anti-climactic.” VVA West beat Seaside Storm 2-0 (25-20, 25-18) in the quarterfinals after going 3-0 in round robin play. Abbotsford was a mystery team to them going into the tournament and was only known to VVA based on reputation. When the teams took to the court, the locals were fast, well-trained and showed defensive skills “outrageous for that level,” Toakley said.
After many long rallies and critical digs and dives, VVA won 26-14, 18-25, 16-14. Chargers West now prepare for the national championships, back the Abbotsford Tradex
building, May 9 to 11. The other VVA Chargers team in 14U girls finished the 60-team tournament 16th in Division 2 after posting a 1-2 record in preliminary matches.

Boat Show kicks off the 2014 boating season
The boating lifestyle suits Vancouver Island. With its pristine waters, scenic views and mild weather, it’s no wonder the Victoria Harbour Boat Show cruises in-land year after year. And whether you’re a seasoned sailor or a novice at the helm, the Victoria Harbour Boat Show is where you’ll want to be Thursday, May 1 through Sunday, May 4. Celebrating 24 years of bringing the best of BC boating to enthusiasts young and old, the Victoria Harbour Boat Show is Victoria’s biggest in-water show. Presented by the British Columbia Yacht Brokers Association, the popular annual event is known for showcasing hundreds of new and pre-owned boats for sale, along with premium on-land and dockside exhibitors and incredible new
features that will keep everyone wanting more. The B.C. Yacht Brokers Association is committed to promoting boating across the province and to ensuring that the process of buying or selling a boat in BC is a positive and exciting experience. This year’s show, sponsored by Boating BC and the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority, is no different. This weekend, watch for Island Flyboard’s revolutionary water sport demonstrations and the Sailing and Life Training Society’s (SALTS) two majestic tall ships, sailing into Victoria’s Inner Harbour Friday afternoon! In addition to offering boat show attendees top-of-the-line products and accessories from more than 30 exhibitors rang-
ing from boat manufacturers to destination representatives, guests at this year’s show will also have the chance to meet with premium yacht brokers from across the Island and beyond to explore a range of models for every budget and boating activity. Visitors will find expert advice on all their boating needs and leave fully equipped to start the 2014 boating season. Keeping things fresh and fun, this year’s show welcomes back Island Flyboard, while also introducing a nautical-themed Kids Zone, a visit from the Sailing and Life Training Society’s two tall ships, the Pacific Grace and the Pacific Swift, and plenty of great prizes.

MUST-SEE BOATS of the Victoria Harbour Boat Show Marlow Mainship 32
With hundreds of boats on hand for this week’s 24th annual Victoria Harbour Boat Show, there’s lots to see and do over the show’s four days. Here are a few not-to-be-missed vessels:
Specialty Yachts
The 2014 Marlow Mainship 32 has an overall length of 36’ 8” and comes in two layouts with sleeping accommodations offered for three to five people. The new M32 is remarkably open and spacious for its size, and features a handsome and innovative transom that electrically opens into a large swim platform when moored. Many features are introduced on this new design, some coming from her big brother, the Marlow Explorer.
54 Heritage Europa Grand Banks Yachts
The 54EU is distinguished in its class by a large, meticulously designed engine room with up to two meters of headroom. Walk-around engines are framed by steel rails with twin fuel filters, seacocks and other related components neatly aligned for easy access and service. All systems are clearly marked and smartly arranged, with an abundance of room for aftermarket equipment and storage.
Catalina 445
Yacht Sales West
The Catalina 445 offers an award-winning design made in the US. Catalina Yachts is an industry leader that has stayed true to their roots, listening to customers and continually improving their designs. The Catalina 445 is an impressive display of quality, design and interesting details throughout.
Marlow Hunter 37 Specialty Yachts
The Marlow Hunter 37 features a voluminous interior that offers a generous craft cabin with access to the head/shower. The galley has a large Corian countertop with considerable storage for long journeys, plus great living areas and headroom matching many 40 footers. Traveller controls, Genoa sheets and halyards are all easily accessed from the cockpit or helm station. Her large main and smaller headsail combination are also easier to control. Like the popular Marlow Hunter 40, a hard chine has been incorporated in her hull design that increases form stability while creating more interior space.
65’ Concord
Greenline 33
Coastal Crafts
This will be the debut showing for this allnew aluminum yacht, designed by Victoria’s own Gregory C. Marshall Naval Architect Ltd. The 65’ Concord is not only Coastal Craft’s largest model to date, it also introduces a luxurious new design into the yacht lineup. Powered with twin Volvo IPS1200, she reaches speeds of more than 32 knots in comfort. Many innovative features found onboard include lithium batteries, in-floor heating, ForsaStone panels, Eplex Vessel Control, and much more.
Yacht Sales West
The Greenline 33 is the world’s first production hybrid yacht. It has truly changed the face of motorboating and is a classic in the making. Since the launch of the first one less than three years ago, Greenline has become a brand with an evolving pedigree. With more than 300 boats launched, Greenline has the largest hybrid fleet in the world. Having been honoured with 19 international awards, Greenline is building what owners want: economical boating with quality workmanship.

Island Flyboard amazes with jaw-dropping thrills Returning to this year’s Victoria Harbour Boat Show by popular demand, the Flyboard – the coolest new jet-ski accessory to hit the international market – is sure to amaze guests of all ages. Professional instructors from Victoria’s own Island Flyboard – Vancouver Island’s exclusive dealer of the Flyboard – will take to sea and sky with their jawdropping tricks and acrobatic stunts during three daily performances. Visitors can take the opportunity to ask questions and get suited up to demo or purchase their own Flyboard. Originally developed by professional jet-ski racer, Franky Zapata, the Flyboard is a watersports apparatus that allows propulsion underwater and in the air, much like a powered wakeboard. The intuitive equipment relies on a system of hand and foot propulsion nozzles combined with personal balance for optimized stability and flight precision. In just under 20 minutes, users can master the basics with an instructor. Once you’ve found your balance, you’re on your way to gliding through the water like a dolphin or soaring through the air like a bird.

Carnation Campaign helps make a difference Kyle Wells, News staff One can learn a lot about multiple sclerosis by stopping to talk to volunteers running Carnation Campaign stations around Greater Victoria on Mother’s Day weekend. Brianna Perry has been volunteering about 13 years with the MS Society of Canada and for the past two years has organized a carnation event in Vic West at Westside Village. Perry’s mother, Barri Ann Perry, lived with MS for 13 before it took her life in January 2013. Together, mother and daughter volunteered for the MS Society at events such as the Carnation Campaign, until Barri’s health prevented her from participating. “(I’m) just kind of paying it forward to the MS Society for being so good to my mom,” Perry said. “It is a really fun event.” Sometimes people don’t really acknowledge you or they just keep on walking past MS Society volunteer stands, she said. Those who do so are missing out on an opportunity to gain some awareness and help make a real difference in people’s lives, Perry said. She encourages people to stop by, ask questions, learn something about where the money goes and make a donation, should they choose to. Half of the donations go to the local chapter of the MS Society to help caregivers cover the costs of looking after a loved one. The other half goes towards research into prevention, treatment and finding a cure. The other piece of the puzzle is how important these services are to families who have members struggling with the disease, which affects an estimated 100,000 Canadians and has no cure. “It effects everybody differently,” Perry said. “I could have MS right now and not even know, versus the person like my mom, where her MS just progressed really quick and she
