or Laurie McDermid, putting together a season’s worth of street markets in Sidney can be like a jigsaw puzzle.

This year, however, she says she’s certain all the right pieces have fallen into place.

The 2015 Sidney Street Market opens tomorrow evening (Thursday, May 14) and runs every Thursday between 5:30 and 8:30 p.m. on Beacon Avenue.

McDermid, owner of Westcoast Impressions, has been running the street market for two seasons and says the challenge is finding the right balance of vendors and performers that will make each market a special one.

“There is something for absolutely everyone,” she says. “There’s music, fashion, vegetables and unique gifts.

There will some new vendors this year and many of the more popular ones from years past.”

McDermid says the process of picking vendors for the annual spring and summer event starts almost immediately after the previous market ends.

She says she attends a variety of shows and markets throughout the year and finds unique people and their creations she thinks would be a good fit for Sidney’s market.

“The music is always a huge drawing card.

There’s always enough to spread it out at each market night.”

Food vendors, too, have a following, and she has brought back many of the best fla-

“It’s a market that people will not forget after they come here,” she says.

“It has a lot to offer and the experience of being in Sidney — it’s a farmer’s market by the sea.”

The market is not only an attraction in its

own right, but McDermid adds Sidney is a great backdrop.

If nothing else, she continues, people will visit the market and get to love the community.

Meet your local police force at Sidney North Saanich RCMP Angela Cowan News staff

Drop by the Sidney North Saanich RCMP detachment this afternoon for a chance to meet local officers, ask questions, and get a look at what the police do on a daily basis.

The department is hosting an open house today from 1 to 4 p.m. as part of National Police Week, which began in Canada in 1970 as a way for police to connect with communities and increase awareness about the services that police provide.

The public is welcome to drop by the detachment at 9895 Fourth Street in downtown Sidney, just adjacent to Town Hall.

Dave the Dog ‘hard to replace’ Continued from page 1

Podmore watched Dave grow from a rambunctious young pup into the hotel’s loyal greeter.

“It’s the perfect place for him,” said Podmore, as he fed Dave one of the dog-friendly carrot cupcakes.

“He’s been such a character for the hotel.”

Dave arrived at the Pier in 2008, says General Manager Natalie King.

“He was a guide dog in training with the seeingeye dog program and flunked out,” she explained, noting Dave couldn’t overcome his penchant for people food.

“They couldn’t stop him from jumping up on counter tops,” King said.

At that time, a previous hotel general manager had been looking for a dog when the Pier was approached to see if Dave might be able to find a place there.

“He had a great disposition with people and other dogs,” King said.

So began Dave’s career as hotel greeter, companion for travellers who missed their own pets and as company for other dogs staying at the petfriendly establishment.

Dave made the rounds, never short of a hand to scratch his ears or rub his belly. During his retirement celebration, he settled for a time beside Jim Crowley and the rest of the retired Java Gang.

Crowley and his cronies meet at the hotel twice a week for a coffee. The group toasted their mugs to Dave and his well-earned retirement, and even offered him a spot in their gang.

While he was working, Dave would put in a full day — or banker’s hours, King said. Recently, he’s had to cut back his hours at the Pier due to age (he turns nine in July) and increasing health issues. In the last eight months, his visits to the lobby have been infrequent.

Suffering with arthritis, Dave is now calling it a career and will stay at home, which he shares with a silver Lab named Stanley and their owner, Grant Rogers (who also owns the Pier Hotel).

“He’ll be hard to replace, as he is just amazing ... so friendly and so gentle.”

King added when the hotel announced Dave’s retirement party, staff where overwhelmed by the response by so many people who know him.

“He’ll have a good life in retirement.”

NEWS REVIEW

QUARTERLY REPORT

Dominion Lending Centres Chief Economist Says US Style Housing Crash Unlikely in Canada Responding to recent news reports about the IMF warning of an overheated Canadian housing market, the Chief Economist for Dominion Lending Centres, Sherry Cooper, says the prospect of a soft landing is good news for homeowners, “there is no doubt that letting some steam out of the boiling markets is a good thing because were prices to rise rapidly for too long, a nasty correction would be likely.”

Bank of Canada Remains On Hold With Hopes of Economic Rebound As was widely expected, on Wednesday April 15, 2015 The Bank of Canada announced that it is maintaining its target for the overnight rate at 3/4 per cent. The Bank Rate is correspondingly 1 per cent and the deposit rate is 1/2 per cent. Core inflation, at 2 percent, is a reflection of the dampening effects of a slowing economy offset by the pass through effects of the lower dollar.

Dr. Sherry Cooper

in the January MPR); however, the second quarter is expected to see a rebound to 1.8 percent growth, revised up from earlier expectation. The Bank continues to assert that, “Underneath the effects of the oil price shock, the natural sequence of stronger non-energy exports, increasing investment, and improving labour markets is progressing.”

This will be aided by an improvement in the U.S. economy and the easing in financial conditions.

Chief Economist for The Bank is hopeful Dominion Lending Centres that global growth will strengthen in coming months to 3-1/2 percent—consistent There remains a good deal of uncertainty with their forecast in January’s Monetary in this sequence: While March Policy Report (MPR)—as a direct result employment in Canada improved of central bank rate cuts and quantitative substantially, business investment easing in Europe. Lower commodity remains disappointing, manufacturing is prices will boost growth in some weak—especially in the auto sector—and countries. The Bank also believes that the improvement in trade has been less strong growth will resume in the United than expected.

States after a weak first quarter, which, of Real GDP growth is projected to rebound course, has yet to be confirmed. in the second quarter and subsequently First quarter growth in Canada has been strengthen to average about 2 1/2 per revised downward to 0.0 percent in the cent on a quarterly basis until the middle April MPR (from 1.5 percent growth of 2016. The Bank expects real GDP

growth of 1.9 per cent in 2015, 2.5 per cent in 2016, and 2.0 per cent in 2017.

The Bank also believes the risks to the outlook are balanced, an upgrade since the last policy meeting in March. As a result of this view, they judge that the current degree of monetary stimulus is appropriate and have left rates unchanged.

I am cautiously optimistic that the Bank has got it right, but I continue to believe that the risks are on the downside for the economy and inflation. My forecast for Canadian growth this year is 1.5 percent-below the Bank’s 1.9 percent forecast.

Much hinges on the U.S. economy. The April MPR revised down its U.S. growth forecast for this year from 3.2 percent to 2.7 percent.

1-888-806-8080 www.dominionlending.ca

Cooper, one of North America’s most respected economic experts, points out that existing home sales were down 2 percent year-over-year in January, but were still up moderately outside of Alberta. Later data suggests that in February, sales rose month-over-month as gains in Toronto and Vancouver offset faltering markets in other parts of the country. More recently, Sales of existing homes in Canada rose in March from February, led by gains in the big Toronto and Vancouver markets.

Sales were even up in Calgary where sales had slowed in recent months in the wake of the oil price decline.

“With home ownership at a record high of 70 percent of households and interest rates at record lows, national sales growth will stabilize at a modest pace,” says Cooper. “However, steady demand from immigrants and non-resident purchasers in Toronto and Vancouver should continue to support housing markets. In addition, Millennials are in their first-time homebuying years. While many might be priced out of the single-family home market, many will take the plunge into condos.”

On the supply side, housing starts and completions are down and are now trending slightly above household formation rates. Taking replacement demand into consideration, the current pace of overall home construction is at appropriate levels to meet long-run demand. We have also seen evidence of a recent increase in dedicated rental housing construction as institutional investors are providing increased funding in this long-overlooked area of the housing market. Condos have effectively replaced traditional apartment units and are an affordable alternative for those who are priced out of Toronto’s detached housing market. Rental vacancy rates remain at extreme lows in Vancouver and Toronto.

Cooper says the bottom line is that there is little evidence of an upcoming U.S.-style housing crash anywhere in Canada, even in the hardest hit energycentered markets.

Cancer clinic grant makes memberships free North Saanich woman found support at Oak Bay’s Inspire Health cancer clinic Angela Cowan News staff

Thanks to a substantial grant from the Victoria Foundation, Inspire Health in Oak Bay is now able to offer memberships free of charge to anyone with a past or present diagnosis of cancer — and an unlimited number of their support people as well.

The only centre of its kind on the Island, Inspire Health offers unlimited consultations with medical doctors, clinical counsellors, exercise therapists and nutritionists, as well as cooking classes, group meditation sessions, yoga, support groups, acupressure and acupuncture. And though the centre is located in Oak Bay, it sees patients coming in from all over the Island, including the Saanich Peninsula.

“It’s just so fantastic,” says North Saanich’s Karen Kafka, who was diagnosed with nonHodgkin’s lymphoma last November. “It’s just the most supportive, caring and loving environment. They’re really knowledgable about assisting people to be as well as they can be.”

Kafka, 54, was introduced to the centre through a cancer specialist who had gone through cancer herself, and signed up immediately. Her diagnosis and the support from

Karen Kafka’s non-Hodgkins lymphoma is in remission, but she still makes time to travel to the Inspire Health centre in Oak Bay from her home in North Saanich.

Inspire Health helped her revamp her entire life, she says.

“For me personally, it made me look at my life, my choices differently. It’s about making sure to take time to exercise every day, and taking time to eat well, and being good to my body in terms of my thoughts.

“It’s an incredibly traumatic, tumultuous time when you receive a cancer diagnosis,” she says, and at Inspire, “you feel supported,

OUR VIEW

Step in the right direction

I

f the only contact you’ve had with the police has come in a time of high stress or at the wrong end of a traffic ticket, you may have no idea what that officer is doing the rest of the week.

That’s how negative perceptions start and the Sidney North Saanich RCMP is turning to a new community committee to help change that.

In the wake of recent cases of policeinvolved shootings in the U.S. and the subsequent backlash against police, the local RCMP detachment put together the idea for a committee to enhance — or even just start — a dialogue with the The RCMP is people they serve.

Relations hoping there will between the RCMP be a trickle-down and citizens of Sidney and North effect Saanich are, for the most part, markedly different than what we see on TV. Yet, for any police force to function well, there has to be some level of trust — trust that people will turn to them when they have to, and trust that the police will listen and respond and treat people with respect.

Police forces in most communities have a finite amount of resources and cannot be everywhere at once — a fact those who do wrong count on.

That’s where a community group, dedicated to two-way communication with police, should be able to help. It’s not the end-all when if comes to public-police interaction, but a solid step to ensure the RCMP is focusing their efforts where it’s needed the most.

The RCMP is hoping there will be a trickledown effect from this committee. By sharing how they operate with the community and responding to concerns at a higher level, it’s thought that these group members will talk to friends and family.

It’s not going to cause overnight change in relationships between the community and the RCMP, but it’s a step in the right direction.

government would do its job correctly. Few do.

For example the Liberal government of Ontario messed up electricity supply and an NDP government of B.C. set the ferry system back decades by trying a quick fix called fast ferries, without listening to experts who told them they weren’t suitable for near-shore routes.

decided I was losing my mind.

Sitting at the computer trying to think of something new and interesting to write to you about, I noticed that the lamp

shade was trembling ... or was it? I looked away for a few seconds and then looked again. Yes, it was very delicately shaking — it stopped — then the shaking began again. Stopped.

Then shook again.

Was it an earthquake?

There was no longer the huge machine working next door that had caused the shaking a week or so ago. It had gone on to another job.

So ... what was it?

I couldn’t decide whether to make an escape using the stairs — not the elevator, it might get stuck between floors if there really was an earth-

It feels decidedly chilly to me and I don’t see any burly men jogging by on the sidewalk, wearing shorts.

And most of the women carrying shopping bags have their coats on. I have to keep reminding myself that it is actually spring.

This is rhubarb month and it is now ready to be pulled and made into those delicious pies.

“Pulled” is the way to harvest rhubarb — don’t cut the stalks off, as you are bound to leave a small piece behind, which will rot, and that’s not good for rhubarb.

Although the leaves are poisonous, I am told they may be added to the compost, but I was never tempted to do so.

They fit perfectly well and looked quite festive in the garbage can.

The clematis growing outside one window still has those lovely fat buds but no sign of further action.

I guess it’s not quite warm enough yet for it to bloom.

In the meanwhile there are still five of those lovely large orange tulips flowering, (they like the weather this cool) a couple of narcissus, a pansy (in a planter where it doesn’t belong), several purple petunias which survived the so-called winter and now looking decidedly happy to still be alive.

I’m happy to see them, too!

It is a little desertlike right now out on the balcony but I’ve planted those nasturtiums in hopes of more flowers before too long and if it were just a few degrees warmer I’d be out there seeding those carrots and the three sunflowers I keep promising.

I’ve just consulted the thermometer, and it says it’s 22 degrees, but I don’t believe it.

Policing committee outlines priorities Steven Heywood News staff

Jubilee award in North Saanich Contributed by the District of North Saanich

Jason Fletcher was awarded the Mayor’s Jubilee Award by North Saanich Mayor Alice Finall on May 4. The award acknowledges him for his outstanding efforts to enhance the community and the region. Through his contribution as applicant and promoter in securing the Kraft Hockeyville 2015 for North Saanich, the Panorama Recreation Centre will receive $100,000 for upgrades and the privilege to host an NHL preseason hockey game.

For its first official business meeting, a new community-based committee working with the Sidney North Saanich RCMP outlined what it thinks the police are doing well, and where they can improve.

The RCMP formed the committee with two information sessions in March — one in Sidney and the other in North Saanich. Corporal Erin Fraser says after talking with potential committee members, the initial plan for two groups was merged into one. Earlier this month, the committee came together with 17 members, representing a wide variety of professions and backgrounds.

Fraser said she and Constable George Phipps are the local RCMP’s liaisons to the group, which is tasked with outlining their expectations of the police in their community.

“We want this committee to take information back to their families, friends and the community,” Fraser said. “If something goes wrong, people hear about it right away. They don’t hear it as much when the police do good things.”

On that front, Fraser said the committee stated that, in general, they feel safe in their neighbourhoods and that the RCMP has a good response time, when called. They had praise for their school and First Nations interactions and willingness to be

involved in restorative justice programs.

Improvements, they noted, were seen in the RCMP having more of a presence in the more rural areas of North Saanich.

“They want us to reach out more to the community,” Fraser continued.

“We’re now on social media and we have summer bike patrol that are starting up.”

Perceptions about policing and the hard realities of manpower and community priorities, Fraser said, will present some challenges within the committee. She added, however, that that’s one of the reasons for the group in the first place. The sharing of information will hopefully bridge any gaps in service, Fraser said, or at least provide strong two-way communication.

The committee will meet every two months and Fraser said they are continuing to evolve.

“The group will try to identify problems in the community and what opportunities we all have to address them.”

Fraser notes solving issues can’t always be left up to the police. Where possible, she said residents and businesses can contribute to their own safety and help lead the way in crime prevention.

“We’re getting a better sense of what’s going on ... and that’s being recommended to us by this committee.”

Is Central Saanich prepared?

Royal Roads Masters program identifies community strengths Angela Cowan News staff

This afternoon, find out how well Central Saanich will likely fare in the face of a major disaster and what can be done to improve the District’s responsiveness at “Becoming a Disaster Resilient Community.”

Orchestrated by members of Royal Roads University’s Masters in Disaster and Emergency Management Program (MADAEM), students have been researching the community to assess Central Saanich’s strengths and weaknesses in responding to a major disaster or emergency, and will present their findings in a report today (May 13).

The presentation begins at 3:30 p.m. in the main training room at the Central Saanich Fire Department, 1512 Keating Cross Road.

Anyone who is unable to make it to the meeting is welcome to contact the fire department for more information, or to see a copy of the report.

Brons may have had her doubts, but her publisher -— Victoria’s Touchwood Editions — immediately saw the story’s potential, and signed her on to turn A Quiet Kill into a series after seeing the first book.

A Quiet Kill throws together Detective Chief Inspector Stephen Hay of Scotland Yard and RCMP Inspector Liz Forsyth when the head of the Canadian High Commission’s trade section is found brutally murdered in the Official Residence in London, England.

The suspects are many, and after a second murder, Hay and Forsyth must wade through the murky waters of the diplomatic community, and navigate the melee of international conspiracy, militant nationalism and murder.

Though light on gore, the mysteries are still rife with shock value, harkening to the classic British mysteries both on television and in novels that Brons has loved for years. And thanks to her many years of experience working in the Canadian foreign service and as a foreign affairs consultant, the setting Brons has built fully immerses the reader in a believable

Angie’s

world as Forsyth and Hay work their way through the murder investigation.

Brons tries to balance her expertise with the action in the story so as not to bog down her readers with the details.

“What I try to do is keep the story moving,” she says. “I try to convey a lot of information in a few words. There are ways of crafting a story, that if you hit the important bits, the reader can figure out the rest himself.”

Brons is also the first to admit she’s not a very methodical writer, eschewing strict outlines and bulletin boards full of post-its for a more flexible process.

The general plot is fixed in her mind, and she always starts out knowing ‘whodunit,’ but she likes to let her characters “muddle through” to find the answers themselves.

“I find it’s more enjoyable, and I think it’s the only way I can write, to write the characters and let them take the story where it will go,” she says.

Being nominated for the 2015 Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Crime Novel certainly goes a long way in validating that process, and Brons’s own comfort with calling herself a writer - something she still has trouble with.

“When people ask me what I do, I would sometimes refer to myself as an accidental author,” she says with a laugh. “I think the reason perhaps that people involved in writing, or any creative endeavour, have that doubt, is because you’re out there. You’ve put so much of yourself into your work, and it’s out there for anyone to say anything about.”

Tribute to ‘Big Band’ days Swiftsure Big Band performs June 5 Angela Cowan News staff

Swiftsure Big Band is presenting “Salute to the Big Band Era,” an evening of the larger-than-life sounds of days gone by.

Saxophones, trumpets, trombones, piano, guitar, bass, percussion, and the incomparable sultry vocals by Miranda Sage are sure to get your toes tapping and shoulders bopping in your seat when they perform June 5 at the Mary Winspear Centre.

Asked how things could change, or if they would change if A Quiet Kill brought home the prize, and Brons has to think.

“I hope that more people would read the book,” she starts, then pauses again.

“I will certainly gain more confidence as a writer. Though that has already happened with the nomination. It’s a very big honour.”

Whether she wins or not, having the Arthur Ellis nomination in her back pocket is something Brons can use if the insidious cloud of doubt and writer’s block ever gets too thick, especially as she embarks on her third novel.

The second instalment in the Forsyth and Hay series, Not A Clue, is scheduled to be released October 13 this year.

The sequel follows the investigative pair as they track killers that are continents apart, and try to navigate the pull they still feel toward each other.

The Arthur Ellis Awards are announced May 28.

with Parkinson’s disease, says former physiotherapist Jillian Carson, is the tendency to withdraw from the world because of the stigma associated with movement-based disabilities, but her exercise classes are aiming to help break that isolation.

“The biggest thing with people with Parkinson’s disease, is that we isolate ourselves,” she says.

Even their body language changes, she adds. Shoulders start to hunch in, feet drag on the ground, voices get muffled and quiet.

Carson, 55, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2009 and experienced the changes firsthand, and when she heard about a Parkinson’s-specific exercise regime that an American neuroscientist was researching, it sparked a big interest.

She became entrenched in the Parkinson’s community, creating a video about her own journey that was shown at the opening ceremonies of the 2013 World Parkinson Coalition. Soon, Carson became a Parkinson’s

The physical portion is high intensity, and Carson and the other instructors lob questions around like the rubber balls used in their warm-ups to build the relationship between muscle movement and brain activity.

The group counts down from 100 by sevens, or lists off what they had for breakfast yesterday as they

keep their bodies moving, and the results are astounding.

“By the time they’re leaving, their writing is normal,” says Carson.

“They’re smiling, and everyone is laughing and giggling. They’re doing more all of a sudden, and they’re living again.”

Several people have reduced their medications, like George Brown, a regular who’s had Parkinson’s for 20 years. Since starting the exercise class Brown has gone from nine meds to three, and no longer has to use either of his canes.

“It is so remarkable what exercise can do for us,” says Carson.

“I’ve got to share this with people.”

Caregivers and family or friends are more than welcome to join

the classes as well, says Carson. The important thing is to get out and get moving.

“Our lives have changed from having the exercises,” she says. “It’s never too late. Never.”

The exercise classes run Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. at Greenglade Community Centre, 2151 Lannon Way in Sidney.

It is fun getting to know the whole family,” says Dr. Braun.

In their modern, bright office, Dr. Braun has all the latest technology at his fingertips to provide patients with the best dental care possible. Along with digital radiographs, the office has intraoral cameras to take photographs that can be displayed on screens attached to each patient chair. “A picture is worth a thousand words, so we use photos to help patients understand why a treatment is recommended,” says Dr. Braun.

These screens also allow patients to enjoy a movie while their dental work is done.

A full range of dental services is offered: Exams and cleanings, fillings, crowns and bridges, implants, root canals, full and partial dentures, in-office tooth whitening, and extractions, including wisdom teeth. Oral and intravenous sedation are available for anxious patients, as well as same day emergency care. “We never want to turn away a patient who is in pain.” Another patient-first practice: this practice offers insurance plan assignment of benefits, meaning they will bill your insurance company directly for the percentage covered, collecting only the copay directly from the patient.

At this time, Dr. Sollid is not practicing dentistry due to neck problems. She keeps busy homeschooling their boys while Dr. Braun continues to care for patients at their office, located above Capital Iron.

Marine users group sees need for new boat launch Pat Bay already has the ramp, says Brian Dunic Steven Heywood News staff

When the weather is good on the weekends, the boat launch at Sidney’s Tulista Park can sometimes fill up fast.

It’s for that reason a group of residents in North Saanich — and elsewhere on the Saanich Peninsula — are angling for a new, public facility.

And they’re hoping they can convince others that it should go at Pat Bay. Leading the way is Brian Dunic, the chair of the Peninsula Marine Access Group. He has written letters to, and met with, members of North Saanich District council, asking they support a boat launch facility where one had been promised years

Dunic has made presentations to the current council and said he has followed their actions, such as meeting with the Victoria Airport Authority and council’s more recent vote to set up meetings with provincial and federal ministers on the subject.

Dunic said various reasons have been stated for why there’s not been a public boat ramp at Pat Bay in recent years. Top of the list, he said, is the safety issue between boaters and float planes which use the area. As well, there’s potential conflict with the airport’s main runway.

Dunic said, based on the experience at Victoria’s Inner Harbour, he thinks any conflict between users could be easily resolved.

However, he admitted he’s not sure what it’s going to take to see a public boat ramp in Pat Bay. “It shouldn’t cost a lot of money. The ramp is there — all they’d need is the parking.

“It’s really needed.

ago. He says, however, he is running into a jurisdictional nightmare.

The land in question belongs, in part, to the province and federal government. It’s also overseen by the Victoria Airport Authority — and falls within the boundaries of the District of North Saanich.

Despite making similar requests for a boat launch — and watching other people do so since the late 1980s — Dunic said no one official organization has picked up the ball.

“I’m a former (North Saanich) councillor, I was on council from ‘88 to ‘93. A boat ramp committee was formed then, based on the need. Pat Bay already has a ramp and there was at one time a verbal agreement with Transport Canada.”

Dunic said that deal was rescinded in 1991 or ‘92, “and nothing’s happened since.”

No longer a councillor, Dunic said some of his friends suggested to try again, especially as the only other public ramp — at Tulista Park — was heavily used and causing parking problems on residential streets.

For Peninsula Track’s nineyear-olds, Dillon Larson and Kaelyn Drummond, a sunny weekend in Port Alberni brought ribbons and smiles to their eager faces as they ran, jumped and threw in their first ever Vancouver Island track meet.

Larson won four ribbons, beginning with a second place in the 90-centimetre high jump. He followed that up with third place finishes in the 600 metre run (2m 24.72s), long jump (2.46m) and shot put (3.41m).

Drummond gained her third place ribbon with a 4.22m effort in the shot.

In total, the 25 Club athletes brought home more than 100 first to eighth place ribbons from this opening meet of the Island series.

Among the younger athletes, Julia Peterson, 12, had the greatest success with her winning throw of 6.20m in the shot, sec-

Also having fun in the sun were the Pen Track Masters athletes.

Showing the benefits of the winter-long training sessions, Les East (M75) chalked up six wins in the high jump (1:10m), triple jump (7.12m), shot (8.71m), discus (26.42m), javelin (21.37m) and hammer (30.70m).

Peter Auvinen (M65) claimed four winning ribbons in javelin (32.11m, a personal best), shot (9.17m), discus (23.75m) and hammer (25.92m).

Better known for their Highland Games “heavy metal” performances, Adam Drummond (M35) took firsts in all four throwing events (discus, shot, javelin and hammer) and Carl Jensen (M40) aced his discus, hammer and shot competitions.

Mette Fossberg (W60) rounded out the successful “mature athletes” trip with her 200m 38.28s win.

No ebb in Greater Victoria’s rugby tide Dan Ebenal News Staff

A group of Greater Victoria rugby players are showing the love of the game knows no boundaries.

Age and geography were no barriers to the Ebb Tide Rugby Club as they hosted a visiting team from Japan at Windsor Park recently, with the players aged right into their 80s.

“It’s very much slow-motion rugby,” said the Ebb Tide’s Dave Knox with a laugh.

“And we take very good care of our 80-year-olds, so they won’t be flattened.”

The Ebb Tide is made up of players over the age of 40 from throughout Greater Victoria, competing in the Pacific Northwest Over 40’s Rugby Union. There are teams from the Lower Mainland, Nanaimo, Kelowna and Seattle.

The Ebb Tide squared off last week against the Osaka Gentlemen, an over-40 team from Japan featuring a pair of 80-year-olds (although they were both nursing injuries and unable to suit up for the match).

While the Ebb Tide’s regular roster features players from their 40s into their 70s, they brought out an 83-year-old for the game at Windsor Park.

“He doesn’t play any more, but he

only quit three or four years ago,” said Knox.

“He [came] out for this one particular game because there’s a couple of 80-year-olds on the touring team.”

Knox said the players wear different coloured shorts based on the decade they were born in.

“That way you can tell the age of the person on the field if you’re about to tackle him,” said Knox, 63.

“So if you’re going to tackle somebody the same age as you, it’s fair game, but if he’s 30 years older than you then you go a bit easier.”

Knox said the Ebb Tide has been going for more than 40 years, making seven or eight trips to Japan during that time and playing host to close to a dozen Japanese teams.

“So it’s been a long-standing tradition,” he said.

The Ebb Tide regularly play their games in James Bay, but as those fields have been converted for baseball, the game was moved to Oak Bay. Knox estimates about a dozen of the team’s 55 regular players are from Oak Bay. “From now until September we practice every Thursday at Windsor Park, and I use the term practice lightly,” he said.

BC Ferries adds extra sailings this weekend

Destination BC video stills

The virtual reality video surrounds the viewer with the sights and sounds of the coastal rainforest.

Super, virtual B.C. seen worldwide Tom Fletcher Black Press

You climb into a boat and the guide asks if you want to see sea lions along the beach, or hike into the rainforest highland to a group of waterfalls.

Turn to look behind you and see two more people in the boat, the outboard wake behind them.

Look up and see trees reaching to the sky and raindrops falling on B.C.’s Central Coast near Nimmo Bay.

A floating wilderness lodge with Adirondack chairs and a crackling firepit await your return.

The Wild Within, a virtual reality experience produced by Destination B.C. is the first for North American destination marketing. Its December launch in New York and Washington was covered by 94 media outlets including National Geographic, USA Today, Time, Outside, Lonely Planet, Wall Street Journal, Wired and Ad Week magazine.

The video is experienced with virtual reality goggles and a stereo headset, a system developed

by Samsung.

It supplements conventional promotional videos, and is being presented at tourism trade shows and travel media events across Canada and in Beijing and Shanghai in June.

To view the video and another showing how it was made, go to www.youtube.com and search for “Destination BC The Wild Within.”

VICTORIA — With heavy traffic expected this May long weekend, BC Ferries has added 63 extra sailings to its busiest routes.

Extra service is available from Thursday, May 14 through Tuesday, May 19. Additional sailings are scheduled for the Tsawwassen — Swartz Bay, Horseshoe Bay — Departure Bay, and the Horseshoe Bay — Langdale routes: • 42 extra sailings are scheduled on the Tsawwassen — Swartz Bay route • 11 extra sailings are scheduled on the Horseshoe Bay — Departure Bay route • 10 extra sailings are scheduled on the Horseshoe Bay — Langdale

route.

The most popular travel times are expected to be midday Friday to late morning Saturday with traffic moving from Metro Vancouver to Vancouver Island and from Horseshoe Bay to the Sunshine Coast.

BC Ferries encourages customers to consider making a reservation during busy periods if travel is required on a specific sailing.
