Safegrad sees Grade 12s party safely Belmont grads roll into exam season with fun time at City Centre Park Arnold Lim News staff

12 students than the alternative, says principal Ray Miller. “We are trying to curb behaviour and negative tradition by hosting this event,” he says. “We spend thousands of dollars keeping kids safe and not going out for what has sometimes been an unhealthy tradition at proms, going out drinking and carrying on and sometimes ending up in tragedy.” Miller says he’s proud that the student buy-in for the three-year-old program has climbed steadily, starting with approximately 150 students in 2012, to 230 in 2013,
to more than 300 of 400 graduating students this year. “We are happy to announce we have over 75 per cent staying for safe grad. This trend has gone up over time and we can only thank the community. It is the community who we lobby for resources so we can buy safe grad fun events at City Centre Park.” The regular school prom happens tomorrow (June 14) from 5 to 11:30 p.m. and includes a dinner and a dance. Safegrad picks up from there, running through until 5 a.m. the next morning. Activities for this year’s Hollywood-themed

event include bowling at Langford Lanes, limo rides, DJ music, a casino, hamster balls to run in, laser tag, sumo wresting, mini golf, bingo and more. “The West Shore and Belmont probably have the most (parent) volunteers putting on the prom event,” Miller said. “It is an unbelievable spectacle. We transform City Centre Park … You wouldn’t even recognize the place after (decorators) are finished with it.” PlEASE SEE: Grad party, Page A4

Teachers’ union running out of money for strike Tammy Dickeson has been a tireless volunteer for the Women’s Transition House for more than 13 years, racking up more than 1,500 hours of volunteer service and raising more than $17,000 for the facility.
School year is also running short Jeff Nagel Black Press
Arnold Lim/News staff
Tireless volunteer does the little things Tammy Dickeson makes difficult time more comfortable Arnold Lim News staff
It is the equivalent of working 24 hours a day for more than 62 days straight. After 13 years and 1,500 hours of volunteer service at the Victoria Women’s Transition House, Langford resident Tammy Dickeson is still going strong. “I see the work the staff do there and they are all really dedicated. I like the fact I can go in there, take some mundane work off their hands,” Dickeson said. “(That way) they can spend more of their energy on the women there.” Her role at the Transition House, a shelter that provides safety and support for women when they are most in need, is important to Dickeson and fuels her penchant for the small tasks many take for granted. From cleaning the rooms, watering plants, orga-
nizing the kitchen, sorting recycling or stocking toiletries, Dickeson does whatever it takes to make the women’s shelter a little more comfortable for residents, who are living through challenging times. “Having had some abusive relationships in my past as a teen and young woman, it makes me want to give back to women who need to leave and want to leave,” she said. “I know how hard that it is and any small thing I can do to help them on their journey, I am happy to do it.” Dianne DeChamplain, the volunteer co-ordinator at the Transition House, said Dickeson is one of the most dedicated volunteers she has ever seen. Dickeson was presented with a Certificate of Appreciation from the Transition House in February, following up a CFAX Citation Rose she received for volunteerism in 2006. As a volunteer she has demonstrated that doing whatever it takes for people she has never met – and may never see again once they leave the home – is routine, DeChamplain said. “Sometimes people undervalue the simple things people do that make a
huge difference,” she said. “It helps to create that warm, welcoming, tidy place for women whose whole lives are in chaos. Even little things people do makes a big difference.” Everything from the work Dickeson does around the house to her fundraising efforts – she’s helped raise more than $17,000 – is done with a creativity and class DeChamplain can’t say enough about. “It is hard to put it into words. She is a model for other people who are thinking of volunteering. She sets a high standard and achieves it. She is great. Quite a special person.” Dickeson, 51, a postal worker when not volunteering, believes her work at the Transition House isn’t yet done. She plans to be there lending a hand as long as women continue to come through the doors. “I am going to stay there as long as the facility is needed. It would be lovely to say we don’t need shelters for women anymore, but I don’t know that it is ever going to happen,” she said. “For now, I will keep plugging away and if they need help, then I’m not far away.” alim@vicnews.com
The coffers are running low for the B.C. Teachers Federation, whose members voted overwhelmingly for a full walkout this week. But the lack of $50-a-day strike pay – the BCTF’s strike fund was expected to be exhausted by today, the end of week 3 of rotating one-day strikes – was apparently a non-issue for many teachers. In announcing Tuesday night that teachers had voted 86 per cent in favour of a full strike, BCTF president Jim Iker said teachers were standing strong together. The results, he said, sent a “very strong message” to the province. “So far this government has come to the table emptyhanded, it’s time to change that,” Iker said. Despite the result, the union did not immediately issue 72-hour strike notice. That meant the start of a full-scale walkout could not begin until Tuesday or later. Such a move would close elementary and middle schools – parents will be advised to make child care arrangements if necessary – while secondary schools would be open only to conduct exams for Grade 10 to 12 students. The vote – Sooke Teachers Association members cast ballots Friday and Mon-

day – saw 28,809 of 33,387 votes marked with ‘yes.’ While teachers are prepared to go to a full-scale strike, Iker said, “that’s a decision we never take lightly.” Moving to that point depends on how talks proceed with the provincial government, he added. The Labour Relations Board was to hear arguments Wednesday on the province’s application to declare exams and final grades an essential service in the event of a full strike. The province has also pledged to end its partial lockout of teachers at the end of the school year to allow for summer school. The government saved $12 million in salaries in each week of the rotating strikes, plus nearly $5 million more by cutting wages 10 per cent based on lockout-restricted teaching hours. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the vote result was not unexpected. “While the BCTF leadership received the mandate they sought, no one should interpret this as any kind of enthusiasm on the part of teachers to shut down schools,” he said. He said teachers, parents and students would all rather finish the school year on a positive note, adding it took just five days of hard bargaining to secure a new contract for support staff. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Safegrad, with the City of Langford alone pitching in more than $10,000 of the $50,000 to $60,000 tab for the event. “We want to support the kids from our community and make sure they are safe when they have their grad events,” said Langford Coun. Denise Blackwell. “We have seen tragedy in other communities when kids go out and party on grad and or ruin their lives and we want to help with that. It is a long, hard haul to get through Grade 12 and I am proud of them all for getting through the year and getting through 12 years of school. I think this is an investment in our kids’ future.” alim@vicnews.com

Belmont students are getting their share of the scholarship pie. More than $150,000 in scholarships and bursaries are being doled out to winning students of the 2014 Belmont secondary graduating class. Colby Heddon, one of many students celebrating a $1,000 bursary award, said the generosity of the donors is already making a difference in her life. “It means a lot to me, honestly, just knowing that my hard work finally paid off. My family has a less than ideal financial situation,” the 17-yearold said. “Knowing that bursary is there is really going to help subsidize the cost of post-secondary education. It just really helps lower my stress levels as I graduate and transition into the next phase of my life.” The French Immersion student, who hopes to pursue biology or nursing in university, said she hopes to continue marrying academic performance with athletics and keep community in mind with her volunteerism. The rower and rugby player helped organize and raise awareness for the first annual Cops for Cancer spinathon at Belmont. Heddon is developing traits that school councillor Dan Taft said are important elements of student growth. Not only is

Colby Heddon is one of five students from Belmont who received $1,000 bursaries from the Rotary Club of Colwood. volunteerism good for the community as a whole, he said, living in a community that wants to recognize those students and support them is (also) a good thing. “Students experiencing success from having worked hard at school and in the community are discovering that hard work is a good community value,” he said. Taft, who works with the school’s scholarship society, said most scholarships
or bursaries range from $200 to $1,500 and are given out for everything from academics and athletics to community stewardship and volunteerism. Just under half the funds come from the government and the rest from donors including societies, businesses and private individuals around the West Shore. Jim Tenhove of the Rotary Club of Colwood represents one of many organizations that
help the society, adding $5,000 into the pot. He handed out $1,000 cheques to five Belmont graduates at a Rotary breakfast yesterday (June 12). It is a practice his club has continued for decades and hopes to continue for many more. “Bursaries for up-and-coming students are important to help them grow and further their education,” he said. “Without education what do you get? Not too much. It is important to give back to the community… (and investing) in youth in the area.” Heddon, who was all smiles after winning one, said she is extremely grateful for the community-minded society and hopes to continue that tradition herself. “It is a great cause and really they are helping students the best way they possible can just by furthering their education.” alim@vicnews.com

Thetis swimmers contracted virus 80 people fell ill on weekend Island Health has confirmed the cause of illness in more than 80 people who swam in Thetis Lake last weekend is norovirus. After dozens of reports of vomiting, abdominal cramps and diarrhea followed visits to the popular swimming lake June 6 to 8, Island Health’s medical microbiology lab tests this week confirmed the highly contagious virus was the cause. Island Health spokesperson Valerie Wilson said lake users can take steps to avoid such illnesses. She cautioned the public not to swim when ill or drink lake water whenever possible. She also said washing hands thoroughly before eating and drinking, and taking a shower after swimming at a public beach are good habits as well. Lab tests of the lake water did not show elevated bacterial counts, leading scientists to determine someone ill with the virus likely contaminated the water. The pollutant would dissipate over time, Wilson said. How quickly depends on such factors as weather and water conditions. Public washrooms at the park were cleaned more thoroughly after the incident. alim@vicnews.com

WE ARE YOUR
hen you give flowers to someone, it is a simple act of thoughtfulness that is always appreciated. “At Father’s Day we often have orders for fathers who perhaps used to be avid gardeners and now live in a retirement home with limited space, or to father’s who may live out of town and the delivery of fresh flowers is a welcome surprise. The most common order is from a daughter to her father with a heartfelt card message.” Brown’s has been in business for over 100 years with their Downtown location. They have always been locally owned and operated so there is a lot of history and knowledge amongst their floral team about what emotion people want to convey with flowers. They also have a great selection of gift baskets and chocolates for Father’s Day. Brown’s has recently opened a third shop on Jacklin Road by the drive thru Starbucks and across for the White Spot restaurant.
Buying Local Is Important “We are local and we really care about the environment!” Natasha says. “Our goal is to provide our customers with a wide selection of quality flowers every day. We buy over 75 per cent of our flowers grown in BC and when we can’t, we buy Fair Trade from around the world. “We compost all our unused greens and flowers, recycle all our soft plastic, hard plastic, cardboard and styrofoam and send the equivalent of one kitchen sized garbage bag to the landfill every two weeks. Buying local not only means helping to keep our local economy strong, it also means less fuel is required to bring the product to our door and fewer pesticides for the environment as Canadian growing regulations are quite stringent. “We are proud to support out local flower growers and we label our cut flowers in our shop to identify them as BC grown. Sometimes it costs a bit more, but it is just the right thing to do” says Natasha.

OUR VIEW
Sunshine glorious but dangerous Those of us on the West Shore love the sun as much as anyone. With a variety of spots to bask in the golden glow of sunshine that hits the region more frequently at this time of year, it’s easy to find places to warm up after the cool and rain of winter and early spring. By the time July hits, we’re positively basking in it. The downside of Canadians’ love affair with the sun is that it’s leading to an alarming increase in skin cancer, according to a report released by the Canadian Cancer Society, Statistics Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada. The report says there will be about 6,500 new cases of malignant melanoma diagnosed in 2014 across the country. That’s the deadliest, most insidious form of skin cancer, and it kills more than 1,000 Canadians annually. Another 76,100 cases of non-melanoma skin cancers will also be diagnosed. Those are less serious and can usually be treated in the doctor’s office. Unlike many other forms of cancer, the incidence of skin cancer is actually going up rather than down. For men, the incidence rate went up two per cent between 1986 and 2010. For women it increased 1.5 per cent. Mortality rates also increased. Those are sobering statistics worth thinking about the next time the seven-day weather forecast shows a solid run of glowing, golden orbs. Especially since it’s so easy to prevent skin cancer. While it might be a little much to ask people to stay indoors, it’s not a big deal to put on that shirt, roll down those sleeves, slap on that hat, slop on that sunscreen. And pay heed to the UV index that’s become a standard feature of most weather forecasts, to avoid the sun’s rays when they’re at their most damaging. A little summertime prevention will mean being able to enjoy a lot more sunny seasons to come.
Serious sun damage a consequence of too much exposure

Mom does her best to give daughter a fashion sense It should come as no surprise that my younger daughter is taking a year off her fine arts degree to attend a 12-month fashion design program. From the day she set foot in Kindergarten, she exhibited signs of fashion … determination. I’ve heard some parents select and purchase clothes that their children actually wear. I used to see these children, splendidly groomed in cute, kid-sized versions of trendy clothes. It’s not that I’m particularly trendy myself, but I always assumed my children would inherit my taste in clothing (i.e., they’d wear little jeans and denim jackets; maybe a Canucks’ jersey once in awhile). But Sierra
Susan Lundy shunned my beloved denim and clung to her own unique sense of dress. The first sign that something was amiss occurred when I took her shopping, and she selected a dress for Kindergarten. A dress? “Sweetie, look at these cool jeans.” The dress had a black velour bodice (really? velour?) with little coloured buttons on the front and a multicoloured, mostly pink (pink!) flowery skirt. She clutched it as we drove home. She
found a pair of tights and a pair of little black (shiny!) shoes and wore the outfit to Kindergarten the next day. And the following day. And the day after. And so on. In fact, she would wear nothing else for six months. Same dress. Same tights. Same shoes. I tried luring her with other clothing, buying dresses and placing them in visible spots. But the growth of her wardrobe seemed to spur her determination to wear one dress. Once in a while I found myself hiding the dress or slipping it into the wash. “Can’t find it! How about one of your other 25 dresses?” Then I discovered she was hiding it, stuffing it in the bed or slipping it under a carefully placed

Today’s senior living communities are vibrant, active, resident focused communities, respectfully supporting the individuality of each resident. Each community has its own personality – just like all of us. Make no mistake – these are NOT the “Nursing Homes” your great aunt Mary used to live in! A good entry level community could be a Retirement Community. Sometimes these are also called Independent or Supportive Living Housing. These individual apartment style communities offer a large choice of services and amenities for the residents. Many new communities can be compared to a cruise ship or hotel environment, while still maintaining a comfortable, home environment. Most retirement communities include a beautifully appointed dining room, private dining room, social rooms, theatre, library, fitness areas, etc. The ‘hospitality’ services you can expect include meals, laundry, cleaning, social and recreation programs, 24-hour emergency response and transportation. There are also some optional fee-for-services made available as per your needs such as hair salon, aesthetics, massage, personal laundry, etc.

“Coincidence or bad karma? It was an identical dress. Sierra was thrilled; I admitted defeat.” blanket in her toy box. Finally, its velvety bodice became threadbare and she agreed to retire it. I danced a little jig of happiness around the house. A short time later we attended a niece’s birthday party where my mother-in-law excitedly brought out a bag. She explained that the child of a friend saw this dress and wanted Sierra to have it. Coincidence or bad karma? It was an identical dress. Sierra was thrilled; I admitted defeat. A year later she attached herself to a single pair of Osh Kosh overalls; thankfully I found an identical pair in one size larger around Christmas time, because by then, she had gone through both knees and was close to bursting through the back side. Every September, as school rolled around, I thought, this is it. This year, she will wear a variety of clothes (specifically, jeans and a denim jacket). But every year, she found another attachment. Shuddering, I sent her off to Grade 3 one morning wearing three-quarter length pants, big purple, rubber boots and the blue (velour) shirt she’d been wearing for the past four weeks. But then I stopped short in the schoolyard, stunned as I looked around and saw the girls in Sierra’s class. All of them: short pants, velour shirts and boots. Sierra’s fashion “sense” had apparently caught on. And perhaps that’s not a bad thing to have on your fashion school resume.

Parents find way to unburden themselves
Since 1917
Featuring
Counselling can go a long way toward reducing one’s stress Don Descoteau News staff
The ability to talk to someone about problems in one’s life can be a huge relief for parents under stress. At the 1-Up Single Parent Resource Centre, counsellor and educational programs co-ordinator Cheryl Dick hears regularly from clients about life’s challenges, from problems with relationships to financial stressors to simply dealing with the emotional and physical workload that comes with being a single parent. For the most part, she says, it boils down to convincing people they have the resources within to get on the top side of issues that are causing them stress and anxiety. “Even though people are struggling, we certainly see how resilient people are or how resourceful they are,” she says. “Often it’s just reminding people about the strength they do have. You kind of get blindered when you’re in the middle of a crisis. In some ways it’s helping them get perspective again.” Communication issues and difficulties managing conflict are just two common themes with which Dyck helps clients. “There’s a lot of people who are struggling with relationships, whether that’s

with their ex-partner or someone else,” she says. “It can be relationships with family and friends, and even relationships with their kids, who may be starting to act out or are having anxiety over separating with their parents.” Many clients using the centre’s counselling services don’t have a broad social network or family nearby to relieve some of the workload. Poverty can play a role in the mental state of single parents as well, Dyck says. If a parent can’t afford to put their kids in sports, or perhaps can’t find a job that pays enough to cover daycare costs, it can lead to isolation. Seeking counselling can be a good way for any parent to unburden themselves of the pressures and stressors of daily life, Dyck says. “It really is a place where they can feel safe to get the load off their chest, whatever it is that’s irking them or taking up a lot of energy. They get a neutral place to sort that out. We can give them some practical things to think about … that helps them explore new options, helps them undo a stuck pattern.” While clients who receive one-on-one counselling at 1-Up must be registered members of the centre – there’s a six-month wait list for the service – other local organizations provide low-cost or sliding-scale counselling for parents in financial difficulties. Among them are Citizens Counselling, located in Quadra Village, and B.C. Families in Transition in

Our friends to the south don’t have access to such awesomeness. But on the flip side, it’s only available on the base model. Aside from the 6-speed manual, Subaru offers their version of a Continuously Variable Transmission, aka the Lineartronic CVT. While some might not be a fan of this type of transmission, don’t knock it until you try it. Subaru does an excellent job with the gear simulations and I didn’t feel the drone of the system under hard acceleration, even with the 4-cylinder. While I’d pick a manual any day, the CVT is darn good. So is the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, a standard feature on all Legacy trims.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK!
Safety Tip: This early summer weather means more cyclists on the road, so as a driver shoulder checking is very important – especially when making right hand turns at intersections, before pulling away from a curb and before you open your vehicle door.

Finishing touches for a magnificent Mustang installation of original Ford front disc-brakes; these are a must in today’s traffic. Collector vehicle drivers are very cautious. Invariably when accidents occur, it is the drivers around you that are not paying attention or cutting you off. 360 have done their research and paid a lot of attention to detail during this rebuild, right down to avoiding the temptation of installing an exhaust
Our classic and collector car expert continues today with the third part of his four-part series on the restoration of public relations executive Laura Ballance’s rare 1967 Ford Mustang. The Mustang T5 body shell has been painted, clear coated, wet-sanded, recleared and finally polished to a show quality finish. Now comes the fun part of a restoration, the reassembly, opening boxes and fitting all of those new parts. This is as close as you can get to being a car factory assembly line worker except you are doing every task instead of just one, and you have all the time that is needed and you don’t have to work to the speed of a moving production line. One of the upgrades that the T5 will receive is a new product designed to dampen and suppress the driveline and road noise, making the inner cabin as quiet as possible and a bit like a modern car. The foil-covered pads have a peel-off backing and are adhered to every inner sheet metal panel such as the roof, floor, doors and
bulkhead. The next step is to install the new wiring harness; old wiring harnesses become brittle over time due to heat and corrosion at the joints and terminals, ask the owner of any British sports car from that era! The interior has been completely renewed from top to bottom staring with the headliner, trim panels, carpets and dash pads and the seats have all been reupholstered. Before the new back glass and windshield are installed (all of the other glass panels have been replaced) the new vinyl top is installed. Installing a vinyl roof is not a task that is performed very often these days, but
360 have the skills to do this in-house. LKQ stocks a huge selection of high quality muscle car sheet metal and parts. “If you are doing a premium muscle car restoration the only sheet metal you want to use is from LKQ,” said Rick Francoeur at 360. The exterior panels will soon have their final fitting. They have been fitted and removed during the restoration process countless times to make sure that the panel gaps are correct. The final fitting process will involve two or three people to make sure that the paint does not get chipped or damaged. Before the original V-8
engine was removed from the car it underwent a compression check, all of the cylinders had equal and strong readings so a complete re-build was not necessary. The carburetor has been replaced with a new two-barrel, the automatic transmission has been completely re-built, as has the rear axle. Rick talked Laura out of fitting a modern rack and pinion power steering kit or even upgrading the manual steering box to a power-assisted unit so it will be reliving the Armstrong steering experience for Laura when parking at low speeds! One safety upgrade is the
system with two tailpipes. Next week, we will explore what exactly a T5 is; how rare they are and explore some of the events that Laura and her brand new old car will attend in this 50th anniversary year of the Ford Mustang. Nigel Matthews is the director of sales and marketing for Hagerty Insurance Canada. nmatthews@ hagerty.com

there are no carry-over body panels. A domed hood, bigger grille and new headlamps also give this Escape a slightly more aggressive look and it has better off-road attributes in terms of approach, breakover and departure angle capabilities. A base front-drive Escape XLS is powered by a 2.3-litre engine. Moving up a step, the XLT trim allowed a 3.0-litre V6 option and a tow package that bumped trailer-hauling capability to 1,588 kg (3500 lb). The top-line Limited came with leather, dual climate control air conditioning and Audiophile sound system, more power features, and the V6 engine. Four-wheel-drive was an option with every trim level. If an urban commute is your vehicles primary job and good fuel economy is important there’s also a hybrid version of the Escape. It has a smoother and quieter powertrain than the first generation Escape Hybrid,

While stability control was standard on all gas-engine versions of the ’08 Escape, it wasn’t available on the Hybrid. Same story for a related new safety feature on the ’08, called Roll Stability Control. Both of these important active safety features were made standard on the ‘09 and newer Escape Hybrid. The Escape Hybrid is a full hybrid and capable of running purely on electric power up to about 40 km/ hour. It also uses a continuously variable transmission. The 2010 model year brought trim upgrades to Escape and all models got standard Blind Spot Mirrors. A top-line Limited trim was added to Escape Hybrid offerings and an Auto Park System, which automatically steers the Escape into a parallel parking spot, was a

new option. Ford Escape was essentially unchanged for 2011 and 2012. The 2012 model was the final year of this generation Ford Escape. The Hybrid edition typically rates a little better. Resale prices are reasonable and there’s typically a good supply of used Ford Escape models out there.

Paint that Nissan clean
Washing a car can be a chore and a costly one at that. In response, Nissan in Europe has begun tests on innovative paint technology that repels mud, rain and everyday dirt, meaning drivers may never have to clean their car again. The specially engineered super-hydrophobic and oleophobic paint, which repels water and oils, has been applied to the all-new European market Nissan Note to create the world’s first self-cleaning car. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

CondoQ offers owners’ tips Have a question about life in your condo? At the Vancouver Island Strata Owners Association (VISOA), we have a lot of experience helping strata corporations resolve problems – perhaps we can help you achieve stratasfaction! Write to us at condoQ@visoa.bc.ca
Q:
Dear CondoQ: My condo building currently has a 55-plus age restriction. The strata council is proposing to change our bylaw to a 45-plus age restriction. Is that allowed? I thought the Human Rights Legislation said the only age restriction a strata could have is “seniors only.” Mr. P. Walters, Sidney
A:
Dear Mr. Walters: The Strata Property Act was amended in 2009 to permit strata corporations to apply any age restriction to all owners, tenants, residents and occupants. The relevant section of the SPA is section 123, subsection (1.1). Section 123 of the Act is copied below for your reference. Limits to pet and age bylaws 123 (1) A bylaw that prohibits a pet does not apply to a pet living with an owner, tenant or occupant at the time the bylaw is passed and which continues to live there after the bylaw is passed. (1.1) Without limiting a strata corporation’s power to pass any other bylaws, a strata corporation may pass a bylaw that restricts the age of persons who may reside in a strata lot. (2) A bylaw that restricts the age of persons who may reside in a strata lot does not apply to a person who resides in the strata lot at the time the bylaw is passed and who continues to reside there after the bylaw is passed. Therefore, your strata corporation can amend your age
restriction bylaw by a three-quarter vote in favour of the amendment at an annual or special general meeting. DISCLAIMER This column is written by volunteers familiar with the Strata Property Act and experienced in dealing with strata issues. The information provided is their best judgment and should not be construed as either legal or technical advice. For such information, contact a lawyer or persons legally qualified to give advice within their field of expertise. The VISOA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing information and education to strata property owners. Visit us online at visoa.bc.ca.

Grizz goalie at national camp Hockey Canada puts Jr. team hopefuls through their paces Alec Dillon is in pretty good company this week in Calgary. The Victoria Grizzlies goaltender is the lone junior A player on a list of 10 under-20 goalies working out with top-level coaches at the annual Hockey Canada Program of Excellence camp. The goalies, nine of whom play at the major junior level, are candidates for the national junior team that will compete in the 2015 world championships in December and January in Toronto and Montreal. Dillon helped the Grizzlies reach the B.C. Hockey League semifinals this past season and is considered a sure bet to be selected in the National Hockey League amateur draft later this month. He’s rated 13th among North American goalies in the NHL’s prospect rankings, which is third highest among the undrafted U-20 camp invitees. The camp, which also has U-18 and U-17 national team

Sweet races on tap for weekend at Western Winged sprint car drivers from around Vancouver Island and beyond will contest the annual Strawberry Cup championship tonight and Saturday night at Western Speedway tonight (June 13). The Wilroc nonwinged sprint cars are also on the card, along with the Old-Time Racers and dwarf cars. Practice starts and the front gate opens at 4:30 p.m. Qualifying goes at 5:30, with racing to start at 6:30. Among last Saturday’s big winners was Bobby Cyr, who took the checkered flag in the 50-lap bomber class main event ahead of Brian Wakelin, Megan McCullam and Ron Benham, respectively. Cyr also won the second heat. In the mini figure eight division, Brandon Young captured top spot in the 40-lap main, followed in order by Kyle Rizok, Tanner Jacobs and Kail Beck. The combined car/ truck demo main saw Aasen Baker cruise to victory ahead of George Haywood, James Young and Billy Stidson.

We are delighted with the immediate results. Our older son became his former sweet self and our younger son’s (12) anxiety is dramatically reduced. Thank you so much.

Q: WHAT ARE SOME TIPS FOR SELLING MY HOME DURING THE SUMMER? Mow your lawn regularly – If you’re watering regularly, grass grows especially fast when the hot sun is beating down so make sure to keep it trim and tidy. Trim bushes and plant flowers if you have time and look into painting your house number on your curb. Keep it bright inside – Increase the perceived size of the home by opening it up, removing heavy drapes and pulling all your blinds up. The nose knows – Sometimes air fresheners can work against you. Vanilla can smell great, but it can overwhelm if not used sparingly. If needed, consider natural fragrances such as cut roses, flower petals.

Market heading into summer with a bang Balanced market good for buyers, sellers: VREB prez Don Descoteau News staff
When the numbers show continued growth in the real estate market, it’s hard not to be excited. May’s sales figures for the Greater Victoria region showed the best numbers since 2010, according to Victoria Real Estate Board president and active agent Tim Ayres. But the best of 2014 may well be yet to come. “I haven’t seen a start to June like this in a while,” he said this week, when asked for his thoughts on the state of the local market. “It’s healthy.” Forget the old expression about March coming in like a lion. Early sales for this month have local agents on pace to knock out the June 2013 numbers. That said, Ayers and others continue to describe the Capital Region housing market as “balanced,” meaning neither buyers nor sellers have the upper hand in negotiations. “It’s one of those funny markets,” he said. “You don’t really have the buyers beating down your door. At the same time, we don’t really see an end to the busy season.” From a cost perspective, prices are remaining fairly constant, with only a one-per-cent upward blip in the region’s benchmark price for a typical home. With no pressure up or down on
Arnold Lim/News staff
The selection of single family homes on the Greater Victoria real estate market is good, but well-priced, well-shown homes continue to sell quickly and command prices closest to asking price. price, and interest rates remaining low, there’s less chaos in the market and agents have more time to spend working with buyers to ensure they find a home that is the right fit, Ayers said. “Whether you’re a Realtor or a seller, you want to be sure the buyer wants your property. There’s less complications that way.” Bill Ethier, president of Royal LePage Coast Capital Realty, noted that when it’s a buyers or sellers’ market, it’s usually a sign that something not
so good is on the horizon. Having a balanced market helps “put confidence back in the marketplace,” he said. “These times are like a nice, stoked fire going along nicely,” Ethier said. “Buyers have a chance to look around and take time and be cautious, but at the same time we’re seeing multiple offers, like any market, if it shows well and is priced well, it’s going to go quickly.” He said the $450,000 to $600,000 price range continues to be the
sweet spot for sales in the region. Helping keep the market on an even keel is the absence of impending regulatory changes, such as the shorter amortization periods from late 2012 that prompted many people to jump into the market quickly ahead of that change. The relatively low cost of borrowing helps too, he said. “We’ve been told we can’t maintain these low rates forever, but we’ve had this for four years now.” ddescoteau@vicnews.com
