Call ministry about child neglect, public urged Jim Zeeben News staff

Anyone who sees a child in danger has a legal obligation to contact the provincial ministry responsible for protecting kids.

That’s the message from the office of B.C.’s representative for Children and Youth after a 19-month-old toddler was found dead in a Victoria hotel despite two previous incidents that raised enough of a red flag for people to call police about the child.

The office of the Representative of Children and Youth has some concerns about how calls by concerned citizens to the Victoria Police were handled.

On Tuesday, VicPD confirmed that officers had been called twice on July 17 from residents who had witnessed a woman acting in a way that posed a threat to two small children in her care.

The next day, police found one of the children dead at a Douglas Street hotel. The woman and the other child, a three-year-old girl, were also in the hotel room.

An Oak Bay resident is hoping to increase the amount of locally produced food through a new pilot project that’s proving the sky is the limit.

Chris Hildreth, a recent University of Victoria grad who studied environmental studies and soci-

ology, recently launched Topsoil, one of the first urban commercial rooftop gardens on 1001 Blanshard St. On the roof he grows fresh produce that is then delivered to Fiamo Italian Kitchen to use in their dishes.

“I wanted to provide restaurants with the highest quality of fresh local produce as possible, but in a quantity that they can

really be using on a consistent basis, not just a couple of sprigs of basil on their salad,” said Hildreth, who came up with the idea in a food and society class.

“I want everything from that salad to be from the rooftop.”

In the 500-square-foot garden, there are 20 beds growing kale, arugula, ruby streaks, mixed lettuce, two different types of toma-

Therapy goes to the dogs at Glengarry Hospital Canines help patients suffering chronic illnesses Kendra Wong Victoria News

Every Monday morning for the past year, Lisa Markin has taken her two service dogs, Rowan and Cajun, over to Glengarry Hospital in Fairfield.

Markin and her dogs are part of INSPIRE Animal Assisted Therapy, a program that uses furry canine friends to help people of all ages suffering from chronic illnesses, degenerative diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis, as well as people recovering from strokes or car accidents or dealing with developmental disabilities such as autism.

“On the outside looking in, if you’re a fly on the wall, it would just look like the dog is playing with the patient, but, in actuality, the goals with the patients are very specific,” said Markin, a registered nurse and owner, operator of INSPIRE. Unlike pet therapy when a volunteer brings their dogs for patients to meet and pet, Markin develops exercises that are specific to the patients’ objectives, working on fine motor dexterity,

gross motor skills, cognition and memory involving the dog.

“For example, if we had a patient who is working on standing endurance, say after a car accident, we would put the dogs on a raised surface and do activities with the dog, such as brushing,” Markin said, adding they sometimes work with the same patient for months in 20-40 minutes sessions.

“What I’ll find is that people will be so engaged with the interactions with the dogs that they’ll exceed their expectations … They’ll work harder, they’ll work longer at their exercises because they want to make the animal happy, they want to give them a treat.”

All the while, Markin is accessing the patient and documenting their progress.

The dogs themselves have shining personalities.

Rowan is an 11-year-old golden retriever, who loves cauliflower and is close to retirement, while Cajun is a four-year-old yellow lab who loves his kibble.

Both are canine assisted

intervention dogs that went through roughly two years of training, learning 55 commands and passing a series of tests before they officially became certified service dogs through a school in Burnaby.

“These dogs are raised and trained by PADS (Pacific Assistance Dogs Society) to specifically work with patients with physical disabilities other than blindness,” Markin said.

“People are calmer with the dogs around, they’re more engaged, they’re more social and, the biggest thing, is they’re willing to try harder and longer with their therapy.”

Chris Charnell, a patient at Glengarry Hospital, has been working with the dogs for roughly a year and has learned several basic commands such as “leave it,” indicating the dog should not touch a treat, and “release,” allowing the dog to reach the treat.

“I think (Rowan) is lovely,” he said, adding he likes playing a variety of games such as the fishing game and racquetball with the dogs. “They’re just so

Shelley Gurvey, manager of residential services at Glengarry, said the program has benefited residents immeasurably.”

“Our residents are distracted from their concerns and we find that most people love the dogs,” Gurvey said.

“They are able to do things that if you just ask them outright like ‘would you move this, would you open your hand’ and they would say ‘no’ or ‘I can’t.’

But when you get the dogs involved, the therapeutic results are immeasurable. It gives people true joy.”

Currently, Markin, Rowan

and Cajun work at Glengarry once a week and twice a week at the Aberdeen Rehab Hospital (which is funded by the Greater Victoria Elder Care Foundation and Thrifty’s).

There are plans to expand to the West Shore Adult Day Program as well.

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF

Pedestrian only plan for Gov’t Street The city is continuing to look into a plan to close Government Street to traffic several Sundays in the fall and winter, leaving it only open to pedestrians in an attempt to revitalize the area. LovGov is a pilot project that would see a series of pedestrian only Sundays on Government Street including Saturday, Oct. 10, one Saturday or Sunday in November and January, and a wrap-up event on Valentine’s Day. A motion to move forward with the plan was passed at last week’s governance and priorities meeting.

Buses to announce stops to passengers B.C. Transit is planning on introducing automated announcements of stops on every bus in the Victoria Regional Transit System starting this fall.

The Trekker Breeze+ system will be implemented in stages, starting with road testing on 25 buses in August.

The remainder of the fleet will be outfitted in September.

B.C. Transit said the change will help visuallyimpaired customers.

Art Festival starts Aug. 16 in Esquimalt The fourth annual Esquimalt Arts Festival kicks off on Aug. 16.

The day event features art, food and vintage fashions with volunteers from Heritage Productions.

There will also be live music from Rig a Jib, Mary Ross, Lorraine Nygaard and Carolina Bluebirds.

The festival takes place on Sunday (Aug. 16) from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the English Inn (429 Lampson St). For more information, visit esquimalt.ca.

Esquimalt store a first in Canada Couple opens geocaching store after demand for business outgrows their website Kendra Wong Victoria News

Esquimalt is now home to some hidden treasure with the opening of Canada’s first geocaching store.

In June, Chris and Helen Edley opened the Sharkz Store, 1245 Esquimalt Rd., a business that sells equipment a geocacher would need including cache boxes, logbooks, dog leashes, reflective markers, trade items, maps and clothing.

“We had been running a website selling geocaching supplies online for nine years. We had been running it out of our house and it was just getting too busy,” said Chris.

The Edleys have been geocaching for the past decade and have found more than 4,000 caches around North America and the U.K. “The first time we went out, we thought it was awesome. It’s treasure hunting and hiking. It was the perfect activity for us because we could combine it with kayaking, sailing, all the outdoor things we like to do,” said Helen.

“There are geocaches all around the world. It’s a good way to see the local area because often the locals will hide geocaches in really cool places like tourist spots, nice viewpoints, great places to pull over during a road trip.”

Not to be confused with a hunt with the end goal of finding treasure, geocaching focuses more on the challenge and adventure of finding geocaches that are well hidden all over the world. Caches can take the form of almost anything, from a fake pinecone hidden on the ground to a screw installed on a light post in a neighbourhood or a simple camouflaged box tucked away in a tree.

Hidden inside the object is a logbook where people

Helen and Chris Edley show off some of their geocaching equipment at the Sharkz Store on Esquimalt Road. who discover the cache can sign their name. Occasionally there will be trade items as well.

“What you find is the location,” said Chris. “It’s about the adventure, the exploring, not so much about finding treasure. We use it as a travel guide.”

Geocaching has led the Edleys to numerous unique sites such as the set where they filmed the TV show MASH, an island in Scotland where they had to blow up an air mattress to get to it, caves and an old gold min-

ing town.

In Greater Victoria alone, there are more than 1,500 geocaches with several hidden in local parks, churches, recreation centres and many in downtown Victoria.

The Sharkz Store has also become a centre for geocachers.

“People come to Victoria for geocaching year round because it’s such a great climate and you don’t have to worry about rattlesnakes and things like that,” said Helen, adding that people

from Calgary, Edmonton and the Okanagan have visited the store. “People that we didn’t even know were geocachers in town, and I know there’s lots of people in Victoria that we have no clue were geocachers, are finding our store.”

Adrian Andrew, executive director with the Esquimalt Chamber of Commerce, said the unique business will help bring new people to the area. “They have some very interesting items there,” Andrew said. “It brings employees to our

neighbourhood, it brings traffic from CFB [Esquimalt] where they sell a lot of their coins and plaques and it will start to bring people from the geocaching crowd.”

But there is a cache in the Esquimalt Lagoon that has the couple stumped, Helensaid with a laugh. “There’s one where you have to climb a tree and go out on a branch and we haven’t done it yet because neither of us are comfortable doing that.”

OUR VIEW

Public needs to report neglect The death of a small child at a Victoria hotel last week is truly a tragedy.

Have no doubt that every police officer, social worker and staff member at the Ministry of Children and Families wants to do whatever it takes to prevent kids from suffering at the hands of those who are supposed to protect them.

However, there are questions about this incident that the public deserves to have answered.

The matter is under police investigation and may or may not result in charges.

If so, the case will go through the court system and we’ll learn a little more about why the toddler was allowed to stay with a mom who was clearly struggling.

Waiting in the wings, whether or not there are charges and the case goes to court, will be the Representative for Children and Youth.

The office already has serious questions about how reports were filed leading up to the discovery of the dead child.

On two separate incidents before the death, people were concerned enough about the child that they made a call to police.

For most of us, that’s not something to be taken lightly.

What’s not known is if police reported both incidents to the ministry -- something they, as professionals, should understand they are required to do.

The members of the public who called the police clearly did the right thing. They should be commended for calling the authorities and trying to make sure the child was safe.

What’s less clear is that, under the Child, Family and Community Service Act, all of us have a legal responsibility to inform the ministry if we see a child suffering neglect.

One of the problems is that few people are likely aware of this.

The ministry has conducted some public education campaigns but more needs to be done to raise awareness about what is expected when we come across situations of child neglect.

As we await answers from this terrible tragedy, we expect that the representative for children and youth will take its own stand and urge that the government do more to help the public protect kids.

For now, if you see a child you believe to be suffering physical or emotional harm, call 310-1234 and make a report to the ministry.

It’s the law and it’s the right thing to do.

King notes that the bottling plant uses less than one per cent of the flow through Kawkawa Lake: “If Nestlé stopped operating (and put its 75 employees out of work and stopped paying municipal taxes) would there be more water for the rest of us?” he writes.

“Absolutely not. Kawkawa Lake drains its excess water into the Fraser River, which drains into the Strait of Georgia. Neither the Fraser River at Hope nor the Strait of Georgia is particularly short of water, even in the driest of years.”

Clark made one useful contribution, when asked about this urgent non-issue by those seeking to further sensationalize the current drought and forest fires.

She correctly noted that most B.C. residents have access to the best tap water in the world, and have no need for bottled water.

Nestlé, Perrier, Coke, Pepsi and other companies have done a fantastic job of convincing people that their drinking water has to be delivered in bottles from some mythical pure source.

Here’s a tip, Nestlé critics: Fill a jug with water and stick it in the fridge. Fight the corporations.

Victoria woman shoots her way to top of competition Kendra Wong Victoria News

A Victoria woman has been named one of the top reservist riflemen in the world, after shooting her way to the top at an international competition.

Sgt. Tatyana Danylyshyn with the Canadian Scottish Regiment (located in Victoria) earned the title of one of the best reservist riflemen in the world at the annual Bisley commonwealth shooting competition in England last month.

This is Danylyshyn’s third appearance at the competition and after placing second in previous years, she finally hit the mark, scoring 1,012 points.

Danylyshyn was one of 20 Canadians who participated in the competition against more than 700 people from around the world. As part of the competition, she shot in three categories, from as far away as 500 metres in standing, kneeling and prone positions.

The 29-year-old learned to shoot at a young age from her father who was also in the military.

“I think when people get introduced to anything, how you get introduced really frames how you see it and we’d do picnics at the range,” Danylyshyn said. “We’d have sweets and hot chocolate and we’d just sit there and shoot

As a teenager, she was a biathlete, but it wasn’t until seven years after she joined the Canadian Scottish Regiment in 2002, that she took up the sport again.

“It trains people to be individuals, you can’t group-think your

way through a shoot, you have to look at what you’re doing — is this working for me? Is this not working for me? Everyone has different styles and different holds that work for them,” she said.

But last summer, Danylyshyn suffered a concussion from a car accident. The struggle to perform well after the injury reminded her

how much she loved the sport.

“For quite a while I thought I wouldn’t be successful shooting again,” she said. “I was really motivated to get back to where I was. It gave me the chance to appreciate how much I really like this, when you think you might not be able to do it again.”

Now, most of her shooting prac-

tice comes from being in the military, the two weeks of training shooters get in the competition host city and shooting in her off time.

Capt. Randal Evans with the Canadian Scottish Regiment has known Danylyshyn for the past 13 years.

“The reason I think she’s so excellent at it, aside from being very fit, is because she’s able to focus. She can focus on what she’s doing and can cut everything else out and focus on the task at hand,” Evans said, noting she is one of the few women who have joined and stayed with the infantry.

“She’s a great instructor and she can teach people to shoot. When we get her out on the range to help our guys shoot who are having problems, they always pass.”

During the competition, it’s all about the target.

“At the time you’re competing, it’s really largely focused on just the immediacy of what’s happening … if the wind is shifting to the right, you aim into the wind and have to be able to feel the wind on your face,” Danylyshyn said.

After being named top riflemen in the world, Danylyshyn said she will continue to shoot competitively. But she will also be taking on a new challenge: starting medical school at the University of British Columbia in the fall.

McKenzie interchange gets funding Travis Paterson

the improvements should be realized by the folks who live here a couple of years after that,” said Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Todd Stone.

The concept for the interchange goes back nearly 30 years. It had momentum that stalled in 1995 when Saanich’s concerns over the welfare of Cuthbert Holmes Park, among other things, helped cast it aside.

The interchange will ‘uncork’ the largest bottleneck in B.C. outside of the George Massey Tunnel running between Richmond and Delta.

Commuters are now in a wait-and-see game as provincial and federal governments combined for the long-overdue announcement to fund a new Admirals-McKenzie Interchange at the Trans-Canada Highway intersection with Admirals Road and McKenzie Avenue.

The price tag is $85 million, with $52 million coming from B.C.’s 10-year On The Move plan and nearly $33 million from the federal government’s New Building Canada Fund infrastructure budget.

“Construction will be underway likely within a year and

It’s going to be an interesting and complex project from a traffic-management perspective to ensure that traffic continues to flow,” Stone said.

“We’ll take time to develop an active traffic plan that we believe will work and get people through this bottleneck during active construction.”

Stone also confirmed the province will fund a new Westshore Parkway extension in Langford that runs 3.5 kilometres from the Trans-Canada Highway to Highway 14 (Sooke Road). That project will cost $22 million, with $7.5 million coming from each the provincial and federal governments, while Langford will cover the remainder.

Addressing the “Colwood Crawl” was the No. 1 concern from Island residents in the 2014 B.C. On The Move Engagement from Greater Victoria all the way up to Campbell River, Stone said.

Saanich Mayor Richard Atwell is also interested in how the interchange can alleviate the congestion along Wilkinson. Saanich has been waiting to see happens at AdmiralsMcKenzie before making any decision, Atwell said.

“At a basic level, this intersection has been the reason for the traffic coming down Wilkinson-Interurban. Drivers treat [the latter] as a bypass, which it was never intended to be.”

Public legal obligation Continued from Page A1

The Representative of Children and Youth wants to know if police called the Ministry of Children and Families after both calls and what actions the ministry took once it was alerted.

The agency can’t investigate until police finish their own investigation.

“From what we’re hearing, the calls from the public would constitute a child safety call,” said Deputy Representative Dawn ThomasWightman. “Obviously we have serious concerns. We’ll be looking at the police response as well as the ministry’s response.”

Thomas-Wightman said early evidence suggests police should have called the ministry twice.

“We’re not clear if that actually happened,” she said.

Victoria Police spokesman Const.

Mike Russell wouldn’t say which police were called.

Russell noted that police officers must abide by “certain legislation that allows (police officers) to do or not do something.”

In cases where an officer doesn’t have the authority to act, police will turn to partner agencies, he said.

Thomas-Wightman said her office applauds the efforts of the public to alert police but wonders if people are also aware that all of us have a legal obligation to also warn the ministry.

According to the ministry, the Child, Family and Community

Service Act requires a child protection report to be made if, for example, a child: • Has been, or is likely to be, physically harmed by the parent or someone else (and the parent is unwilling or unable to protect the child); • Is emotionally harmed by the parent’s conduct; • If a person has reason to believe that a child is emotionally harmed by living in a situation where there is domestic violence.

However, the ministry does not currently enforce public reporting of child neglect although the ministry said “staff are continuing to review how best to ensure the public is meeting their responsibility to report.”

The Ministry of Children and Families won’t comment on the specific case.

A statement from the VicPD said police along with the Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit (VIIMCU) and the B.C. Coroners Service continue to investigate the sudden death of a 19-month-old toddler that occurred early July 18.

VicPD has also confirmed that its officers spoke with the mother of the dead child twice on July 17, after receiving reports from citizens concerned about the women’s loud praying and actions inside the Masjid Al-Iman mosque on Quadra Street.

Those reports follow a police call earlier that day about the women while she was at Clover Point. editor@vicnews.com

Once a week, Hildreth harvests roughly 20 pounds of leafy greens and other produce, box and deliver it to Fiamo’s kitchen that is just a seven minute walk away from the garden.

James Avila, chef at Fiamo, said he uses the arugula on pizzas, flowers and basil as garnishes, lettuces in salads and grills the kale.

“You can taste the difference right away.

You can taste arugula grown outside Victoria and the arugula that we have from him and

it’s 100 per cent better quality, taste and experience out of his product,” said Avila.

For Hildreth, it’s now about expanding the project -- something that has already garnered a lot of interest.

“I’ve Googled Earthed the entire city and there’s acres and acres of rooftop space. No pun intended, but the sky is the limit for doing this,” he said, adding that he has rooftops in mind to build more gardens and has more than a dozen local restaurants interested in getting on board.

Program aims to teach financial literacy Don Denton/Victoria News

Feeling the music E i g h t e e n - y e a r- o l d Rebecca Bracewell, one of this year’s Victoria Symphony Splash Yo u n g Soloists, plays during a launch event for the Splash. Sitting behind her is the other soloist Ben Parker.

Bracewell suffered severe hearing loss at age three but that did not prevent her from achieving her musical goals. This year’s Splash takes place on Sunday, Aug. 3.

Victoria Symphony names new president Kendra Wong Victoria News

Victoria businessman Steve McKerrell is the new president of the Foundation for the Victoria Symphony.

“I was happy, I believe I have the necessary skills to help them guide the foundation along the way,” said McKerrell.

“I think the important thing is to prudently invest donors funds to provide for sustainable operation of the symphony and also build

the endowment for future initiatives.”

McKerrell has volunteered for three decades, including cochairing one of the first recycling programs in Canada, serving several years on the board of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria and chairing its foundation.

He has served as founding board member of Arts Sustainability Victoria and as governor of Glenlyon Norfolk School Board.

He was also involved

with the Victoria Foundation, two years of which he served as chair.

“We searched widely for someone with all of the required characteristics, experience and managing, public spiritedness and interest in music,” said Harry Swain, board president of the Victoria Symphony Society.

“He has had a long interest in the arts and classical music. I think we will have longsighted and highly pro-

fessional management of the foundation [under McKerrell].”

McKerrell takes over for Eric Charman, who was with the foundation for decades. Charman retired in 2014.

The Foundation for the Victoria Symphony holds, and reserve funds to support the Victoria Symphony Society.

The symphony is Vancouver Island’s largest and most active performing arts organization.

Fire linked to smoker The Victoria Fire Department is reminding people to use extreme caution when discarding smoking materials after a potentially dangerous fire was extinguished at Topaz Park earlier this week.

A 911 caller at 5:10 p.m. alerted the department to a wind-fed grass fire that spread into the trees at the park on the corner of Finlayson and Quadra streets on Tuesday evening.

A general alarm was struck sending 15 firefighters and multiple apparatus into the area.

Crews from the Bay and Yates street stations were able to extinguish the rapidly spreading ground cover fire to

stop it from reaching nearby residences and get the blaze under control.

Due to the amount of bark mulch, the fire department said there was a concern the fire could jump to residences lining the northeast boundary of the park.

The cause of the fire was likely due to someone improperly discarding a cigarette or some other type of smoking materials.

“The Victoria Fire Department would like to take this time to caution people about the unusually dry conditions and exercise extreme caution when discarding spent smoking materials,” said the department in a statement.

The Greater Victoria School District’s new superintendent wants the public to know he’s here to stay.

Pieter Langstraat was appointed the superintendent earlier this month and will assume his role next month.

“I’m thrilled. I was just looking for another opportunity,” Langstraat said. “The Greater Victoria School District was the only place that I applied to. I was really wanting to come to the school district so I’m very pleased to be able to work with them.”

Langstraat, 54, comes to Victoria after a 26 year career with the Red Deer Public School District, where he served as superintendent for the last five years.

He also spent four years as the associate superintendent with Chinook’s Edge School Division in central Alberta.

He replaces Sherri Bell who resigned after taking the position as president of Camosun College in July.

The school district has been plagued by an inability to keep superintendents, with Langstraat being the third in recent years.

“I’m not moving to Victoria to retire, I’m not moving there to just be there for a year or two.

I’m in it for the long haul,” Langstraat said. “I’m very committed to providing that stability for the school district and very much committed to providing high quality education for citizens of Victoria.”

In the coming years, Langstraat hopes to forge a pathway of success for Greater Victoria students.

“We have a responsibility for each and every child, not just some of them. We’re in the business of creating life chances for kids and that’s very much what the board of education in Victoria wants and that’s very much what I want,” he added.

But before he can do that, Langstraat must deal with the funding challenges and cuts that school districts across the province are also facing.

“I need to work with the board making sure there’s predictable, sustainable, adequate funding for the school district and that obviously means working with the government and advocating for that,” he said.

According to board chair Edith Loring-Kuhanga, Langstraat has the experience and vision the school district needs.

“Education is rapidly changing and we’re looking for someone who was dynamic, has lots of experience, who had really strong leadership and had some great ideas. He definitely fit the bill,” Loring-Kuhanga said.

“We’re really excited to have someone of his calibre come to our school district. We’re really looking forward to him coming aboard.” kendra.wong@vicnews.com

Restorative Justice Victoria fears significant funding shortfall Christine van Reeuwyk News Staff

Restorative Justice Victoria fears it may have to turn cases away in Victoria due to funding shortfalls.

The organization learned in March that an application for funding through United Way of Greater Victoria was not approved and a three-year commitment of $25,000 a year had ended.

Core funding comes via the Gaming Commission, frozen for a number of years at $46,000, in spite of a rising case load. Restorative Justice Victoria receives $17,000 in municipal funding from Victoria and Esquimalt through the police budget and $1,000 from Oak Bay. “Our current budget has left us understaffed and staff burnout is becoming a pervasive issue. If our budget does not increase, we will have to start turning cases and clients away,” said Jessica

Rourke, executive director of Restorative Justice Victoria.

“Each year we are seeing significant growth in the number of cases referred to us, as well as the complexity of the cases referred.

In our opinion, more cases means more healing in the community, however, increasing case load and complexity demands more staff hours.”

According to Lee Anne Davies, director of community investment for United Way Greater Victoria, funding decisions are made by engaging experts in the community.

“Those experts sit at the table with us and talk about every application that comes in to us. There will never be enough money, but we do ensure we can meet the greatest needs as best we can,” said Davies, adding that they never fund beyond 30 per cent of an agency’s revenue.

“Every dollar we raise is so respected and really considered in great thoroughness as far as

what the needs of the community are.”

But Rourke argues restorative justice is a key program within the community, whose services are backed by the Victoria and Oak Bay police departments as well as Victoria and Westshore Crown Counsel.

“Filling our funding gap is one of our main priorities. … We are exploring every funding opportunity that we come across.”

She noted they are working toward entering discussions with the provincial government around the debate.

“What we need is stable operational funding so that we are in a position to respond to the increasing demands from police and crown,” she said.

Restorative justice offers alternative measures to handle a criminal offences in the community, outside of court, in addition to a trial, or during or after a period of incarceration. editor@vicnews.com

BUYER’S TIP | Work with a realtor to avoid missing desirable properties when they hit the market

Hard-to-find pockets in real estate market The real estate market is busy, keeping buyers motivated and on their toes Don Descoteau Black Press

W ith significantly more homes selling of late than in the same period last year, the inventory of homes on the market is diminishing.

The June stats saw 910 homes sell in the Capital Region, a whopping 33.8 per cent increase over the same month last year.

A jump like that can’t help but have an effect on supply, as the 4,003 active listings available at the end of last month showed a 14.7 per cent drop from 2014.

Stories of sellers getting more than their listing price — mostly unheard of in the past five years — are becoming more common for well-kept, well-priced properties.

While the market in general is humming along, there are certain pockets where it’s getting tough to find properties for sale, says agent Mike Hartshorne with DFH Real Estate.

“On the West Shore there seems to be a shortage of newer homes $450,000 and under with a double garage,” he says, giving a very specific example.

There also seems to be a shortage of West Shore homes with a suite for under $550,000, he adds, and suited homes in Saanich East priced under $600,000 are equally tough to come by.

After several years of sluggish

sales and flatlining demand, the balanced market seen in the past year or so is starting to take off again.

“It’s good to have this,” Hartshorne says. “It’s clearing out the inventory, it’s allowing people to sell and interest rates are still good. We’re seeing some price increases, but it’s not crazy.”

He calls the existing market conditions “controlled “I think excitement,” where prop- it’s a terrific erties are market and as moving — even those a buyer, you for which the have to be listing may have expired motivated and previously be on the ball.”

— and peo- Mike ple who may Hartshorne have been waiting to jump into the market are taking the plunge.

“The definition of what is a saleable home is a lot broader now. Because the market is a lot busier, there is a lot more ability for people to sell homes,” he says.

“I think it’s a terrific market and as a buyer, you have to be motivated and be on the ball.

We’re not seeing ridiculous levels of people buying on speculation; it isn’t the same level of franticness as Vancouver, for example.”

But with interest rates at record lows and prices still within reach for many potential buyers, Hartshorne says, it’s definitely a less challenging time to be in the business of selling and finding homes for clients. editor@vicnews.com

Victoria’s Nick La Riviere releases sophomore album with two fun-filled shows Brittany Lee Special to the News

A man of many talents, local musician Nick La Riviere promises a mix of delightful melodies to fans of jazz with the release of his second album, Another Time Around.

In addition to being a composer and arranger, the 31-yearold’s mix of musical talents include singing, playing trombone, bass and conch shell, all of which culminate in La Riviere’s long-awaited sophomore album.

His first, Too Much To Do was released in 2009 – comprised of rich, multi-layered instrumentals and vocals.

Inspired by multiple genres including Celtic, Klezmer, pop, R&B, and Latin music, La Riviere assures fans a musical experience like no other.

“I really wanted to do an album that showcased some other genres, more fun music, some stuff that’s a little bit more danceable,” he explained. “Music that appeals to the masses a little bit more rather than just the jazz listeners.”

Unlike La Riviere’s debut album of instrumental jazz, Another Time Around is all original and vocally-driven.

Jazz lovers won’t be left disappointed, however, as La Riviere remains true to his roots with plenty of trombone in the mix.

“It’s fun, it’s all original, there’s lots of singing but there’s still some wild trombone playing,” he said.

“What makes it stand out from most other CDs out there right now are how much trombone there is on the album. Even the songs where it’s a vocal melody, there is a lot of trombone in the background.”

Since releasing his debut album, La Riviere has been broadening his musical skills, playing with various bands at folk festivals and touring around the world, including to Germany, England, the U.S. and Mexico.

“Playing with all these guys and all their different styles of music has really helped to open me up to other genres, so that really gives me a lot of inspiration for writing in different styles on this CD,” he said.

Embracing new styles of music motivated La Riviere to get creative in the composition of tracks found on the album.

“I record as I write, and that would allow me to really figure out what the song is sounding like, to actually hear what it’s sounding like as I’m composing it … and then I could make changes and add layers,” he said. “It really allowed me to make the songs quite rich, having a lot of layers, many layers of trombone, many layers of vocals.”

To celebrate the release of Another Time Around, La Riviere is performing two shows, on July 24 and 25, at Hermann’s Jazz Club featuring local folk band West My Friend as the opening act.

Reservations are recommended.

The Malaise Era was the antithesis of the muscle car heyday that existed merely a year before its start in 1973.

It was a dark period characterized best by underwhelming engines, EPA restrictions, and questionable styling.

In the Malaise Era you could run your new Cobra through the gears without raising the attention of local law enforcement. The Malaise era wasn’t without hope, and the era saw production of a few diamonds in the rough. Here are our picks.

1. 1977 Pontiac Firebird TransAm Special Edition - Call it the Burt Reynold’s effect, but the 1977 Trans-

Am is still a kick-ass ride. Featured in 1977’s top grossing film, Smokey and the Bandit, the black and gold Trans-Am had as much star power as the mustachioed Reynolds. The power for the T/A came from a 6.6 litre V8, producing a disappointing 200 horses for 1977, a far cry years prior. It didn’t seem to matter as you cruised down main street, however, T-Tops in the trunk and blasting Journey through the 8-track. The menacing looks of the Trans Am seemed to be more than supple to erase any memory of the days of muscle car past, as other drivers stared in awe from the seats of the latest econo-box.

2. 1981-83 DeLorean DMC-12 -

The DMC-12 was the car from the future that no one had asked for, but everyone wanted. Built by an automotive dream team consisting of John DeLorean, Colin Chapman, and Giorgetto Giugiaro, the DMC-12 was built to be a futuristic luxury coupe with a 200 horsepower Wankel rotary engine and price of $12,000. Execution of the concept missed the mark, and the production DMC-12 drew its underwhelming 130 horsepower from a Renault 6 six-, and was sold for $36,000. Despite this, the DeLorean secured its spot in the hearts of people around the globe as Doc Brown’s continued on page 3

1975 Bricklin SV-1 time machine in the 80’s mega-franchise, Back to the Future. If only they had come stock with the flux capacitor.

3. 1983-86 Audi Quattro - Germany continued to make fast cars throughout the malaise era, such as the BMW M1 and Porsche 930, but Audi created a completely new segment of car with the introduction of its all-wheel drive performance car, the Audi Quattro. The Quattro was originally introduced to the European marketplace in 1980, but did not make its way stateside until 1983. With power from its turbocharged five-cylinder going to all four wheels, the Audi Quattro became a rally car legend, and the production models looked the part with its noticeable fender flares, Audi graphics, and BBS alloy wheels. The car was a head of its time, and only 664 were ever sold in the US before Audi

1981 Delorean discontinued it stateside in 1987.

4. 1974-76 Bricklin SV-1 - Canada’s primary contribution to the malaise era was the brainchild of American millionaire Malcolm Bricklin, who dreamt of making the world’s safest sport car, naming his creation the Safety Vehicle One, or SV-1. The SV-1 had a smattering of safety features ranging from an integrated roll cage to safety bumpers, and even lacked an ashtray to discourage drivers from smoking. The Bricklin was powered by an AMC or Ford V8, and was rated favorably at the time against its competitor, the Corvette. Despite initial reviews, the car was notorious for poor build quality, and the engine was prone to overheating due to its small radiator. Bricklin went into receivership in 1976, and the SV-1 was dead in the water. continued on page 6

East Sooke artist brings her talents to Stinking Fish Tour Frank Mitchell

On Tour

Special to the Sooke News Mirror

Bonnie Coulter is a maker and force of nature. Visitors to her cozy studio on the East Sooke waterfront quickly discover she oozes artistic creativity.

Her paintings and sculptures are constantly evolving as she explores new ideas, techniques and media, all the while refining earlier inventions to reflect her thoughts.

Coulter did not start out as an artist. She was “the original tomboy” and wanted to go into trades.

After being rejected by the Vancouver Vocational Institute of Technology because she didn’t have credits in high school shop (they were mostly denied to girls at the time) she convinced her old school to give her an extra term of shop. This time VVI accepted her. She was the only girl entering in her year to make it past Christmas and graduated as a designer.

She married at 18 and she and husband, Keith, were set up for the good life in suburban Newton.

But they had a yen to farm.

So they bought a quarter

The Stinking Fish Studio Tour happens July 23 to 27 at venues around East Sooke and Metchosin, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

Brochures and contact details for artists can be found at many local locations and online at stinkingfishstudiotour.com/ map.php. section near Soda Creek in the Cariboo and ran a mixed farm, with the whole range of crops and animals, including 20 mares for breeding mules.

The Coulters soon learned that most farmers only sustain their lifestyle with off-farm work.

So Bonnie designed houses built by Keith; she also secured a variety of design/survey related government jobs.

After their kids left home, however, running the farm and doing outside work became increasingly onerous.

The need to provide health care for a family member dictated a move to the South Island in

2001.

Keith continued to build houses, including their own in East Sooke, while Bonnie transferred to Victoria, rising to department head before “retiring” from the civil service in 2010.

Bonnie has always enjoyed art, but the move to East Sooke opened new doors.

Most important was the encouragement and advice from her daughter Angela (Menzies), an established painter and a longtime member of the Stinking Fish Studio Tour, to explore new techniques and subject matter.

The appeal of Bonnie’s work is demonstrated by public comments – and purchases. It’s hard to define that appeal in words.

A major factor is the play between unlikely materials and the ostensible subject matter.

This is clearest in the case of her sculpture assemblies of mechanical parts and tools, many boat-related. People delight in the unexpected emergence of animals from hard manufactured objects, especially when those animals exhibit “attitude.”
