Rail proposal leaves out Langford commuters Nanaimo to Victoria run proposed for initial passenger service Arnold Lim News Gazette staff

Coun. Lanny Seaton isn’t impressed. Despite more than $200,000 in studies, years of waiting and even the inclusion of rail in Langford’s Official Community Plan, the proposed rail schedule by the Island Corridor Foundation doesn’t initially include commuter rail from the city to downtown Victoria. And Seaton doesn’t understand why not. “The most lucrative part is from Langford to Victoria, but what we are talking about is runLanny Seaton ning a train (from) Nanaimo, dropping people off (in Victoria) at 9 a.m., which is too late, and leave at 2:30 p.m.? I don’t know an employer that is going to allow you to work less hours a day because you are riding a train to work.” Seaton was visibly upset Monday night during a hastily scheduled presentation by ICF chief executive officer Graham Bruce to Langford council and a few members of the public. Bruce outlined a proposal to revive rail service on southern Vancouver Island that would see a partnership struck

Backpack project offers comfort at time of crisis Children destined for foster care target group Arnold Lim News Gazette staff

One hundred black backpacks are being piled into a minivan in Langford. Filled with stuffed animals, pillows, blankets, gift cards, toiletries, sketch pads and even cameras, the cargo quickly piles up in the vehicle’s interior by staff of the Indigenous Perspectives Society. The backpacks are headed up Island to transitioning foster children, some of whom left the only homes they ever knew with only the clothes on their back. “It is a scary period of time for them and this will give them some level of comfort,” said society administrator Michele Oatman. “They can sometimes be taken out in the middle of the night and leave with nothing. When they open (the backpack) up, there is a bear in there for some comfort; a pillow and a blanket to curl up with. They are very deserving.” The Children’s Aid Foundation and the Ted and Loretta Rogers Foster Care Transition Program provided a $39,000 grant to the IPS to identify agencies or communities to benefit from the dispersement of the

stuffed backpacks. Four agencies on the Island were chosen to receive 50 backpacks each, including Surrounded by Cedars Child and Family Services in View Royal and the Foster Parent Association in Langford. They were due to receive their backpacks this week, while Lalum’Utul’ Smun’Eem Child and Family Services in Duncan and Kwumut Lelum Child & Family Services in Nanaimo received their backpacks on Dec. 10. Each organization sees its packs topped up with additional local donations from businesses including the West Shore Superstore, Walmart, Staples and more. “It’s really an opportunity to have children in care have something they can call their own when they are taken out of their family home and placed into foster care,” said Linda Lucas, executive director of the IPS. “It’s important for me in terms of giving back … to children and youth in care so they have some sense of security and some sense of belonging through receiving a gift of this nature.” The Ministry for Children and Family Development, along with a number of businesses and other partners, pooled approximately $320,000 for the fund that includes $40,000 in purchases from local merchants. “It shows that it’s not a small group of

Oatman, one of the leads on the project, said she is proud to have been involved in an initiative that staff members rallied around.

“(It was not) just the physical work but the feelings that went into it. It was really, really well supported from everybody here,” she said. “From the Ted and Loretta Foundation, right down to all of us filling the backpacks, our care went into it and hopefully that comfort goes to the children, too, and they feel that love.” alim@goldstreamgazette.com

Langford neighbourhoods to gain better bus coverage Expanded routes part of an overhaul of transit routes Angela Cowan News Gazette staff

The West Shore will soon see a significant increase in transit service to Bear Mountain and Westhills. “Our greatest focus during this service improvement has been to optimize resources in the West Shore and provide the best transit service possible,” said Meribeth Burton, spokesperson for B.C. Transit. “For at least the last two years, community members of both Westhills and Bear Mountain have appeared before the transit councils asking for service to these high-growth communi-

ties. There were presentations by the developers on Westhills. There have been petitions, there have been letters and delegations,” she said. “This was a natural progression and we’re excited.” The changes take effect Dec. 29. They include: • An expansion of Route 52 Colwood up into Bear Mountain, with hourly service and buses every 30 minutes during peak rush hour times; • Route 57 Westhills will see hourly service to the Langford Exchange; • The Western Transit Exchange, next to West Shore Parks and Recreation, will be renamed the Colwood Transit Exchange. B.C. Transit will also extend a commuter service to Latoria Road and Happy Valley. “The No. 52 pretty much just operated between Col-

Angela Cowan/News Gazette staff

The Route #52 will be seeing significant increases to service come Dec. 29 when the bus starts travelling up to Bear Mountain. wood Exchange and Langford Exchange,” said James Wadsworth, a senior transit planner with B.C. Transit. The route will now connect Bear Mountain, Millstream Village shopping

centre, downtown Langford, West Shore Town Centre, Royal Roads University and Colwood Corners, all on one transit route. “That’s the route where we’ve put a significant

increase in for service hours,” he said. “Mayor and council have been working on this with B.C. Transit for quite a while now,” said Langford Coun. Matt Sahlstrom. “It’s giving us easier access to those areas without people having to get into their cars, and we can get people into the smaller areas. It’s going to make accessibility a lot better for everybody involved.” “I live on one of the routes on Triangle Mountain, so I’m certainly going to appreciate it,” he said. Other changes include more frequent service on Bay Street from the Route 10 Royal Jubilee/Songhees, and increased service to the Route 14 UVic/Vic General. Service is being adjusted on the Route 25 Maplewood/ Colwood to better align with school schedules. “This is not a service

expansion,” said Burton, adding that 5,000 more service hours were already added in September. Instead, the improvements have been a result of re-allocating resources to maximize efficiency. “Our planning team sat down and went route by route, trip by trip, to see which ones were not performing,” she said. The result was a complete rewriting of the transit schedules to ensure that demand for reliable and frequent transit is being met, especially on the West Shore. “We’re trying to align our services with growth and development, and that’s what’s happening here,” said Wadsworth.

West Shore job hunter defrauded in online scam Police advise caution in third-party online transactions Angela Cowan News Gazette staff

A young View Royal resident has been scammed out of nearly $2,000 after she cashed a fraudulent cheque last week. The woman had posted an advertisement online looking for work and was contacted by a person from California offering to pay her in advance. The scammer mailed a cheque and asked that after the woman deposited it, she send a portion of the money to another recipient via Moneygram. The bank later informed the victim the cheque was fraudulent after she had already trans-

This particular scam is an isolated incident, and a reminder to the public to be ever-vigilant regarding online security. “It’s a continued battle to stress the importance to the public to do their research,” Berube said. “Make sure it’s a reputable person or company. Be aware of who you’re dealing with online.” Anyone who believes they’ve been a victim of identity theft or fraud should contact the Canadian Antifraud Centre by calling 1-888-495-8501 or sending an email to info@antifraudcentre. ca, and call West Shore RCMP at 250-474-2264. acowan@goldstreamgazette.com

ferred the funds to the second party. West Shore RCMP would not release any identifying details about the victim except that she is under 18. Const. Alex Berube said there is no way for the woman to recoup her losses. “It’s different when your credit card gets scammed. The credit card companies will do their own investigation and it does not affect your credit,” he said. “People think sometimes that their bank will refund the money that they’ve been scammed, but when it comes out of your own account, there’s no way for them to do that.”

The Island Corridor Foundation would add $2.2 million and Southern Rail, which would run the operation, would chip in $500,000 for a grand total of $20.9 million. Initial plans call for service between Nanaimo and Victoria. All work on track upgrades would be tendered, Bruce said, and as the work is completed up to Qualicum Beach and beyond to Courtenay, the passenger service can be extended. A commuter service between the Station Avenue stop in downtown Langford and downtown Victoria could be put in place later on, with a one-way fare of $5 to $7, Bruce said. “That is what the initial project was all about, to get rail back and running for a 10-year period on Vancouver Island,” he said. “This is not a commuter service, this is an inter-city service and that is what this is designed for in meeting the needs of all of the Islanders. Although (schedules would) be adjusted as we find greater opportunity.” Bruce said the federal and provincial funding has been

Track maintenance and repairs wouldn’t begin until federal and provincial funds were in hand, with the goal to see the first train in operation sometime in 2015.

down the road, Young wasn’t confident those runs would serve Langford in the way he had hoped, which was to alleviate some of the stress on the roads during commuting times. “My concern is if Southern Rail is the one setting the schedule, then what kind of dialogue are they having with the communities that are actually along the rail line?” he said. alim@goldstreamgazette.com

Happy to share valley’s history Archive, museum at Luxton keep heritage alive Arnold Lim News Gazette staff

Bonnie Josephson shows off dozens of large, hand-made binders. One is dedicated to Arthur Philip Luxton, another for Captain Edward Edwards Langford, and others to historically relevant people and places from the area. Here, Josephson said, is the history of Happy Valley, tracked down and documented by a small group of friends. “It’s just for the fun, the thrill of the chase, like being a detective,” she said of tracking the roots of the region in which she grew up. “(It is about) putting people in their rightful place in history. Sometimes stories get a little muddy and blend together.” Josephson and a group of friends in the Metchosin Farmer’s Institute gather regularly and have done so for years, collecting information and items for their little-known museum. Following any leads they come across, from old newspaper articles to interviewing people who grew up in the area, the fact-finding mission never ends, she said. “I like stories; I love them,

and sometimes they are good for spinning a yarn – but not all fact,” Josephson said. “We want it factual, and with everything online now … we want to get it to the public.” The Belmont graduate has become the de facto encyclopedia for people looking for information from days gone by, including from her alma mater. She has consulted on numerous historical projects over the years. The museum’s collection, housed at the Luxton Fairgrounds, boasts thousands of items, some of which are close to 150 years old. Most are owned by Josephson herself and they’re available for viewing free to anyone who wants to see them. Schoolchildren are among the more regular guests. “History, it’s hard to visualize, so we try to make it visual. It’s hands-on and it’s fun,” she said. “Kids come through here sometimes and have a blast.” Josephson admits the challenge with such projects at times is that they are largely selffunded. Volunteer time, energy and money go into upkeep for a cause the group believes in so heartily, they set aside their own free time to keep the information alive. Unlike the museum’s display items, ranging from a 1930s-era sheep shearer to an old washing

machine from the early 1900s, facts can fade with memories and be lost forever. Colwood Women’s Institute member Christina Willing, 90, is another area resident hoping to keep history alive, partially through her personal memories. “There is so much heritage; going back I can remember when the Bilston Creek was so high they were taking people out to Happy Valley road in a boat from their house, because there was so much water coming through,” she said. “I remember my brother-in-law was walking along the track because there was so much water through the valley. So I lived through all that.” Willing said volunteers such as Josephson and others who work so hard to preserve heritage should be commended. She wished there was a way to keep the museum open for the public. “It is a very changed scene here and I have seen tremendous changes (in my life),” she said. “I just think this should be more available to see. To know I could come down and bring a friend here to see the history of this community, it’s all right here.” To set up a time to visit the collection or find more information, send an email to lisa@brantech2000.com. alim@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW

Holiday cheer at food court A trip to one of Greater Victoria’s shopping centres in December is a strangely exhausting experience for something purported to be so satisfying. But amongst the bustle of gift-buying, Santa queues and the full-court press at the food court, there are still sometimes Some words of of wisdom wisdom heard from gems to be found. An employee an unlikely source at a particular Greek cuisine vendor was overheard this week not only encouraging his colleagues, but wishing customers well as they rushed by. A cynic might safely assume this employee was simply attempting to drum up business in a place where hungry shoppers have a lot of dining choices, but one of his responses cut through the holiday madness like a carving knife through gyros meat. “We see a lot of materialism here every day,” he said to an inquisitive customer. “What people need to realize is that happiness doesn’t come from outside; it’s found inside.” The zen-like employee then spooned a dollop of tzatziki sauce atop a finished greek wrap before slapping his spatula back onto the counter in preparation for the next order. Stunned, the customer scooped up his lunch and floated back into the sea of scurrying customers, enormous plastic bags widening his gait. Perhaps the food service sage had the philosopher Aristotle top of mind when he put on his uniform that morning: “Durable virtue will belong to the happy man, and he will be happy throughout his life, for he will always opt for virtuous acts and thoughts and he will bear the hazards of life with nobility and live beyond reproach.” It would be Grinch-like not to take the young Greek guru’s lesson to heart this holiday season as we go through our busy days. Rather than rush about with a checklist and timer, why not make some real connections with family, friends, co-workers and, perhaps even a minimum wage mall employee tasked with handling the stressed out Christmas crowds. It just might spark memories of the underlying reason for the season, which is peace on earth and good will to all.

Demand for transit likely to increase Nobody wants to admit there is a permanent structural shift that will affect the automobile industry and demand for oil, attributable to a permanent generational paradigm shift. Even with cheap oil, many Millennials see car commuting as a chore that keeps them away from being connected electronically. It’s an issue of elasticity of demand and substitution. The Millennials have technological replacements we did not have to automobile travel a generation ago. There is a very strong trend among young people away from automobiles. Every time a texting-dependent Millennial gets ticketed for texting while driving, his incentive for using transit increases. Every time insurance rates increase, the Millennial will increase his incentive for using transit. Every time a Millennial is stuck in traffic wasting time and fuel he will increase his incentive for transit. The Millennial generation is more interested in being connected and time-management than their parents’ fascination with the inefficient car culture. So the next time you see a peace officer ticket a texting driver, keep in mind the economic concept of elasticity of demand and the substitution effect towards electronic communication. This trend of a substitution effect is even seen and encouraged in China. The Chinese government realized that unconstrained growth in car ownership will affect productivity, as congested road facilities impact growth and on-time delivery for trucking. Moreover, the Millennial generation in China is no different than in North America or the rest of developed world, preferring higher density, transitrich compact communities and not

rushing out in masses to purchase automobiles, as was earlier erroneously predicted. There is only moderate demand for automobiles, as the cost of maintaining, parking and using vehicles are seen as an unnecessary expenditure by many fiscally prudent Millennials in China. There is much empirical evidence that baby boomers and the Millennial generation, the two largest demographic groups in North America, are converging in a time-of-life moment where what they want is walkable, compact, higher-density, service-rich, transit-oriented communities and destinations. This is the reason that they are very unlikely to save the suburbanbased, auto-dependent model of urban development. These fundamental shifts need to be incorporated into the macroeconomic (econometric) models forecasting GDP growth, inflation and tax revenues of Canada and the U.S. There is a permanent decrease in demand. Avi Ickovich Langford

More resources needed to investigate thoroughly Re: Input needed on cold cases (Our View, Dec. 12) Certainly individuals should advise police of what they see, subject to fear of retribution because there is not enough policing support. Even with information, investigation takes time. Police do not have enough resources to both detect errant individuals before they hurt someone and do full investigations. They have to prioritize their time to have the most effect. The murder of Kimberley Proctor

is an example of mentally troubled individuals not being curbed earlier, despite their evident illness. Even deliberately dangerous drivers present a risk of violence. Some of them will go on to commit robbery and assault – which have the same underlying motivation of exploiting others, whether for convenience, financial gain or psychological jollies. The moral purpose of government is to protect individuals against initiation of force, not to entertain them. Will the new councils increase funding to police, instead of wasting taxpayers’ hard-earned money on things like Langford’s Fountain of Folly and the unsafe shrubbery near it?

High schoolers proud of city Does Langford have a selfimage problem? Absolutely. If you’d like evidence, simply go to your computer and do a search for Urban Dictionary – Langford. Enjoy the degrading and borderline offensive description of our town, which is how Langford still appears to many in the outside world. I would know; I’m a junior Zoe Vedova at Belmont secondary and Student Views the number of times I have to assure people that, no, I have never been stabbed at school is alarming. The thing is – kids have been stabbed. The early 2000s were a dark time for Langford, and an even darker time for our high school. In those years, the police were called frequently and teachers reported having to break up fist fights in the front foyer. Langford was known as “Dogpatch,” and when my parents expressed interest in moving here in 2001, their friends warned them it wasn’t safe. Stats and stigma from the past tend to stick around long after their relevance has been shut away in a dusty archives room. People may have once created websites for the sole purpose of scorning our municipality, filling them with rumours of low education credits and that our economy was held up by our liquor store. Those facts just aren’t true anymore. So what’s changed? For one, the entire city decided that it deserved respect, soon going considerable lengths to achieve it. In 2007, Langford bought a cheerful little trolley from Disneyland to patrol the community borders. Around the same time, tree saplings found themselves rooted in the meridian of Veterans Memorial Parkway, the summer farmers market started up and the light-up fountain in the middle of Goldstream Avenue began its ceaseless run-through of 80’s songs. We reflect our surroundings, so naturally following suit, Belmont evolved as well. The leadership class initiated a week of spirit days, the pancake breakfast started in December and though the exterior of the school may have suffered in the hands of time, the pride in Belmont grew.

But the biggest, most highly anticipated change is yet to come. On track for the 2015-16 school year, two new high schools will open up in Langford and Colwood. It’s an extremely overdue reprieve for our current over-populated and duct tape-covered school. Most importantly, however, I believe it’s the closure that we and the rest of Victoria needs, to scrap the idea that Langford’s a bad place to live once and for all. The launch of Royal Bay and Belmont 2.0 will be the start of a new chapter in this community’s life. I can’t wait to be part of it. Zoe Vedova is a Grade 11 student at Belmont secondary.

Dashboard cameras are becoming more commonplace. What are they? They’re cameras that record what’s going on around you while you’re driving. You can

tuck them behind the rearview mirror, mount them straight onto the dash or mount them in any direction you like. Different makes and models use different sizes of screens but most are compact enough (in and around 3-inches) that it won’t interfere with forward visibility. Furthermore, most use wide-angle lenses so you have quite a panoramic view. They tend to come in handy if you get into a fender bender and it wasn’t your fault. Hitting the track? – It can be used to film your accomplishments. Memory is stored on SD cards. Depending on how large

your SD card is, you can film for hours or program your device to loop every so often. Available online or at your local tech store.

OBD2 Bluetooth Connector/ Apps (Under $40 for both)

So, you want to know what’s going on with your car via your smartphone. I have the gadgets for you. You’ll need an OBD2 Bluetooth Connector (you can get them as cheap as $10 online) and then an app. Try TorquePro (for Android $4.95) or DashCommand for Apple ($9.99 on the iTunes app

store). Simply connect the OBD2 connector into your car’s OBD2 port (usually found underneath the dash) and pair the device with your smartphone. Within the app, you can set certain parameters; i.e. what you want to be displayed. Torque, rpms, power, boost, speed, engine temperatures, you name it. The connector then reads the car’s data and sends it, in real time, to your phone. A cool feature found on TorquePro is the ability to use it as a Head’s Up Display at night. You just place it on your dash, let it reflect of the windshield, and read the data

Universal Dashboard and Windshield Mount ($50)

Handsfree calling has never been easier. Especially with the Logitech [+] drive universal mount. The actual mount will suction to any window in your car or your dash, and your phone/GPS/device is then held in place by a strong magnet. You simply adhere a small thin metal plate onto your tech toy of choice for the magnet to grab. Your device then stays firmly in place even on rougher or the sinuous roads. The great part about it is that when you have attached your phone, you don’t have to fumble with clasps, clamps or rubber bands to make sure it’s secure. You just press it against the mount, the magnetic force does the rest. It just stays in place and doesn’t move. Brilliant. And when you’re done driving, you just pull it off and take it with you. Check out http://www. logitech.com/en-ca/ product/plus-drive

Wheel/Rim Protectant (Approx. $10)

Now that the inclement weather abounds, keeping our cars sparkling and clean is

getting harder and harder. Not to mention dreaded brake dust. But there are some ways to fight back at winter, or even throughout the year. Perhaps stuff someone’s stocking with Armor All Wheel Protectant. Brake dust can make your beautiful aluminum alloy wheels look far less attractive. So as you’re maintain your vehicle over the colder months or in the summer, using this brake dust repellent will not only protect the wheels, but also help repel the grime that comes along with this wonderful time of year. Available at your local car care store.

Make a Playlist. Go for a Drive (The sky is the limit/Priceless) Most cars these days will have either an aux jack or a USB port (or even Bluetooth) to allow you to stream music from your various devices. And if the holidays are all about spending time with the ones you love – and if you love driving – how about going for a winter’s eve drive? The twist? Create a playlist for the ride. Get the kids involved and get each of them to pick a song or two. Then put the playlist on shuffle to mix things up! If you’re going for a drive with that special someone, perhaps put songs that remind you of the fun times you’ve had. Or even what you deem as “your” song. And maybe a Christmas carol or two! Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and stay safe (and warm) out there.

Victoria Grizzlies forward Dane Gibson, right, tangles with Cowichan Valley’s Julien Lepage during Tuesday night’s B.C. Hockey League action at The Q Centre. The teams battled to a 2-2 tie, the Grizzlies’ first deadlock of the season in 30 games. Photo by Tony Burrows

Grizzlies inch closer to second Four-on-four and three-onthree overtime solved nothing for the Victoria Grizzlies and Cowichan Valley Capitals on Tuesday at The Q Centre, leaving the B.C. Hockey League teams to settle for a 2-2 tie. Jay Mackie’s third-period power play goal for the locals, set up by Meirs Moore, knotted the score at two apiece. The goaltenders went to work after

that, shutting down all shooters. Grizzlies leading scorer Dane Gibson, who came over from the Capitals organization to start the season, opened scoring in the first with his 12th of the year. Cowichan scored twice on Victoria goalie Sean Cleary in the second. The Grizzlies (14-10-1-7) first tie of the season left them one point back of second-place Pow-

ell River with a game in hand, although the Kings were slated to play a road game against Alberni Valley last night. The Grizzlies, still undefeated in four games under head coach Craig Didmon, leave today for a three-game weekend road trip on the Lower Mainland with games against Coquitlam, Langley and Surrey. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Chris Dickinson

Your Go-To Cycling Destination… F

rom your child’s first bicycle to quick, comfortable set of wheels for your daily commute, Oak Bay Bicycles West Shore is the community’s go-to cycling destination.

With cycling enthusiasts Chris Dickinson and William Steele at the helm, Oak Bay Bikes West Shore has earned a reputation among cyclists as the local experts for bicycles, clothing and accessories, not to mention a full-service shop with skilled technicians ready and able to keep all makes and models working their best, Dickinson says. “No job is too small. From adjusting your recent purchase to ensure you have a comfortable ride to full spring tune-up, we’ll have you riding with comfort and confidence.” But what some don’t realize is that Oak Bay Bicycles carries a full spectrum of bikes, including entry-level models for cyclists of all ages, Dickinson notes. The difference between their bikes and some of the mass-market models is that these bikes will be put together by professional technicians and will likely be lighter and easier to ride. Regardless of the make or model you choose, service is truly what sets Oak Bay Bikes apart. “We really strive to provide the best service possible. The key is to find the right bike for you

and your needs,” Dickinson says. “We encourage everyone to come back a little while after their purchase, and after a few rides, to let us make sure their bike is properly adjusted for them, important for both safety and comfort.

Santa trusts the pros, you can too!

Leading up to Christmas, all youth bikes are 10-per-cent-off and – great news for families this holiday season – Oak Bay Bikes West Shore also offers a youth bike buy-back program, Dickinson notes. “When your child out-grows their current bike, bring it back in to the store and receive half of what you paid to put toward the child’s new set of wheels. “And just like out adult bikes, our kids’ bikes come with a service package.” The store is also chock-full of gifts and stocking stuffers for all the cyclists on your holiday shopping list, including highly visible front and rear LED lights, wet weather gear, clothing and more. You’ll also want to check instore or online for their group rides currently in the works. The store is open daily – visit at 104-800 Kelly Road, call 250-590-6960 or visit online at www.oakbaybikes.com/westshore.

Keeping it local, with every tow.

Merry Christmas from all of us at Westshore Towing

Four football Bulldogs named to U18 Team B.C. Appearance in annual recruiting event will be a highlight of season for Belmont Grade 12 players Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

It’s been quite the roller coaster

football year for Matt Pastro. Rebounding from knee and other injuries that sidelined him for the 2013 high school season,

Don Descoteau/News Gazette staff

Belmont Bulldogs players Brandon Holland, left, Edgar Nelson, Kolton Henderson, and Matt Pastro gather in front of the mosaic in the school’s lobby. The Bulldogs will be Team B.C. under-18 teammates at the upcoming Tanoa Bowl in Washington state.

Belmont boys go 1-2 in North Van The Belmont Bulldogs got a taste of off-Island competition last weekend at the North Shore Invitational boys basketball tournament. One of just two Island squads at the 16-team event in North Vancouver, the Bulldogs finished with a 1-2 record after losing 65-56 to eventual runner-up Charles Hays of Prince Rupert in their opener Dec. 11. Belmont easily handled a team from Northwest Territories 65-32 on Friday, then finished off with an 83-48 loss to the Pitt Meadows Marauders. Belmont was due to open the Gary Taylor tournament at Oak Bay against the host Bays yesterday (after the Gazette deadline).

the Belmont secondary senior was a force for the shorthanded Bulldogs this fall, lining up both at linebacker and fullback. A member of the under-15 Team Canada in 2011, Pastro’s dedication and resiliency were rewarded recently when he was one of four Bulldogs named to the under-18 Team B.C. that will play Washington VASA in the Tanoa Bowl Classic Dec. 28 in Auburn, Wash. The Tanoa Bowl sees high school and youth teams from B.C., Washington and Hawaii play one exhibition game each. For the older players, the day serves as a showcase of their talents to college coaches, plus analysts from Rivals.com and Scout.com, two major U.S.-based recruiting databases. Pastro, a six-foot-one, 240-pounder who racked up 391 yards rushing as a back and scored six touchdowns, said he hopes to use the upcoming experience to “get better.” While he’s listed as a linebacker for Team B.C., University of Alberta coaches have been showing interest in him as a fullback. Belmont quarterback Brandon Holland, defensive lineman Kolton Henderson and receiver Edgar Nelson also made the cut. Bulldogs head coach Alexis Sanschagrin will serve as Team B.C.’s defensive co-ordinator and defensive backs coach. Holland, a 6-4, 185-pound Grade 12, led B.C. High School Football’s AAA var-

Q: WHAT ELSE SHOULD I LOOK FOR BESIDES A GREAT HOUSE? First-time home buyers have a lot on their plate in the months and weeks leading up to a purchase. Here are some tips: Don’t just look at the house, look at the neighbourhood. Location, location, location doesn’t just refer to the physical home. Nearby businesses, schools and parks play a huge role in how much you enjoy living in an area. Walk the blocks around any serious contenders before making any hard decisions. Invest in a professional inspector. Yes, an inspector can miss things, too, but the average home buyer won’t understand plumbing, wiring or electrical issues that might be problematic long term. Base your purchase on the house you need, now and in future, but ensure it fits your needs, not wants. Buying more home than you need or can afford will severely hamper your enjoyment of the home long term. Try to look past how a home is decorated or staged for your showing. Your job is to ensure it fits your lifestyle and home decor needs, not what others want to project on you to maximize their sale price. Do you have a homebuying or selling story to share?

BUYER’S TIP | Property transfer tax is just one of the costs that must be paid at the time of closing

Costs can sneak up on home buyers Down payment not the only expense homeowners need to keep in mind Dan Ebenal Black Press

You’ve found the home of your dreams and put aside the money you’ll need for a down payment, so now all you need to do is make an offer and then sit back and wait for the moving van to arrive. Well, not so fast. There’s a lot of other costs involved in the purchase of a home, and not being prepared for those costs can lead to your dream home slipping right through your fingers. Realtor Cassie Kangas with DFH Real Estate often encounters buyers who are caught off guard when informed of the additional costs they’ll likely face when buying a home. “Obviously, first-time buyers have no clue because they’ve never done it before. But even people who’ve bought before, or maybe haven’t bought for a long time, there is stuff that has changed or they’ve just forgotten about it,” she said. Kangas has prepared a budget sheet that allows her to walk through some of the additional costs they’re likely to encounter. When we go through those hard numbers, people for the most part are always caught off guard by something.” Some of the costs buyers should be prepared for are legal fees, land survey, property appraisal, municipal taxes, insurance and moving costs. Unless you’re a first-time buyer and the home’s purchase price is less than $475,000, you will also be looking at a property transfer tax of one per

They need liquid money for that, and it has to be cash available and it has to be paid at closing through the lawyers, in most cases,” said Kangas. “And because you need that on top of your down payment in accessible money, that’s a big chunk of change.” Another thing buyers don’t often realize is there are stringent rules governing the gift of a down payment from a parent or grandparent. Dana Stevulak, senior mortgage specialist with TD Canada Trust,

said there must be a statement showing the money has been withdrawn from the giver’s account and another showing it transferred to the recipient. “Then we have a one-page gift letter that has to be signed showing that you are in fact gifting this money to a child or grandchild,” said Stevulak. “It’s just really to prevent money laundering so people aren’t just shuffling money around. It’s very simple and straightforward.” Both Stevulak and Kangas also recommend to get pre-approved for your mortgage before you head out shopping for homes. “A lot of people put the cart before the horse and they start

looking at houses and then want to get pre-approved,” said Kangas. “Maybe they will lose the deal because in between somebody else is pre-approved and gets the house, or they can’t really afford what they think can afford.” Kangas said buyers should also remember they will be required to make a deposit of no less than five per cent of the cost of the home at the time they make an offer. “I think the biggest piece of advice I could give someone is to work with a realtor who sits you down before you start looking at homes to go through those hard costs so you know you can afford what you’re looking for.” editor@oakbaynews.com
