High-end marina slated to open next summer Marina will cater to the needs of international yachters Pamela Roth Victoria News

If all goes according to plan, a portion of the Victoria harbour’s northwest side will be catering specifically to the needs of international yachters next summer.

The final design for the Victoria International Marina has now been ironed out — 30 years after planning for the project initially began.

When the project was first unveiled in 2008, critics worried about its size, location, impact on safety in the busy harbour and the views the yachts would obstruct.

Since then, the

marina has changed the design and size several times to comply with changing federal, provincial and municipal regulations, along with feedback from community groups and First Nations representatives.

Craig Norris, director of strategic planning with Community Marine Concepts Ltd., believes the plans now have something that works for everyone.

“When they went in for development permits for the buildings there was a lot of community push back, there was some politics mixed in there,” said Norris.

“Now it’s time to do the right thing and in a current market, so this is it.”

In the new design, the $24-million marina on the Songhees has added more access for the community and a seven-metre

wide, 400-foot long canal for paddle boats.

The canal will be located between the docks and the shore, with floats for launching paddle boats and bridges for dock access.

The marina also includes a restaurant on the water that will be internationally recognized and 30 slips for yachts 65 to 150 feet long. In addition, there will be approximately 8,000-square feet of commercial space, a tea and coffee house, along with marine commercial space.

According to Norris, the marina will be the only dedicated yachting hub in North America, and has a top notch design for housing yachts, complete with a concierge that caters to the owner’s every need.

Every NDP seat brings us one step closer to defeating Stephen Harper.

Don’t take a chance.

Let’s stick together. Re-elect Murray Rankin.

Dear Victoria voters, It has been a privilege to serve as your Member of Parliament. I am asking for your support so I can continue to be a strong voice for Victoria in the House of Commons.

I am deeply concerned about Stephen Harper’s Conservatives getting four more years. Cuts to health care, the environment, and a growing culture of division and corruption have taken a toll on our country.

I will take action on the big issues that matter to you and your family. The NDP has a plan to fight climate change with firm targets to cut pollution. We will deliver affordable childcare, jobs for young people and more affordable prescription drugs.

I’m asking for your support so that together we can build a stronger, more hopeful Canada.

Reality-based training with Victoria police

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF

Pamela Roth Victoria News

With my eyes closed, I’m guided into a room

by Victoria police Const.

Kristin Greffard and told to lie down on the floor.

She puts baby oil on my hands that’s meant to simulate blood. On this day I’m Constable Roth and I’ve been cut during a knife fight with a criminal. “When I ask you to turn around, open your eyes and address the threat in front of you,� says Greffard.

Standing nearly on top of me is a large man armed with a butcher knife. I tell him to back away, but he doesn’t listen, only threatening to hurt me instead.

It’s a difficult situation.

There’s no time to ponder what to do. My first response is to get up and run away, but I’m a police officer so I have to protect myself and the public from this dangerous man.

Instead of getting up, I freeze and smile at the man, hoping he’ll go away.

Greffard calls a brief time out to remind me of the options I have available on my belt — a gun, pepper spray and baton.

Still on my back, I kick the man in the leg, then push myself across the floor, fumbling with my holster to retrieve my pistol.

It’s difficult to communicate with the man while trying to grab my gun. My heart is pounding.

Eventually I shoot him in the leg and he falls to the ground. “When we have somebody that’s coming at us with a knife, everybody is going to feel some degree of fear in that scenario and how they react to that and deal with it may be different from one person to the next,� said Greffard after the scenario. “It all comes down to our threat perceptions, and if we choose a level of force we have to be able

Victoria News editor Pamela Roth takes part in the Victoria Police Department’s reality-based training exercises at the Boys and Girls Club on Yates Street. to articulate that lower levels of force were deemed ineffective or inappropriate, and high levels of force were justified.�

The scenario is one of five that members of the media went through as part of reality-based training for all members of the Victoria Police Department.

Using officers as actors trained to demonstrate certain behaviours, the scenarios are made as real as possible to enforce an officer’s fundamental skills and any deficiencies that may arise. Each scenario is based on real events that have happened in the department or other police agencies, along with trends officers are noticing such as more edged weapons on the street. “We want to prepare officers so that in case they

are presented with that, they’re not going to go into that fight or flight mode and fight because we don’t have the option of flight,� said Greffard. “At the end of the day, I really like going home to my son, so I’m going to do everything I can in terms of training to prepare myself and the other officers to make sure they get home safely at the end of the night.�

In another scenario outside, I’m briefed about a situation that arose on a tourist bus. The bus was on its way from the Craigdorroch Castle to the Butchard Gardens when a passenger became erratic, causing the driver to pull over and evacuate the bus.

The driver tells me and my partner (Scott Cunningham from CTV

News) more about the man I see pacing back and forth on the bus. He’s average size, in his early thirties, and talking fearfully about the demons he sees outside.

On the bus, we introduce ourselves as police officers that are here to help. Cunningham takes the lead and approaches the frightened man who’s out of his mind, trying to negotiate with him to come off the bus. “What can we do to help you?� Cunningham asks calmly. “It’s not safe! Get off the bus!� the man shouts, as he hops anxiously from seat to seat. I’m taken back by his strange demeanor, unsure of what to say or do.

The man pulls a knife when Cunningham gets too close. The situation

is tense. Cunningham grabs his pistol and I take out pepper spray when Sgt. Greg Holmes calls a time out to remind us of the techniques used to communicate with someone in a crisis and establish a connection. “You want to connect with that person. That’s what they need. They are having the worst day of their life,� said Holmes after the scenario. “Communication is what solves an issue and having patience and taking time to do that. When you guys started talking and humanized yourself and built that trust and learned what was going on with him, it was easily resolved.

He came off the bus and that’s the kind of outcome we want.� editor@vicnews.com

The African’s Children’s Choir will be coming to Victoria for two performances Friday, Oct. 30 and Sunday, Nov. 1. The choir melts the hearts of audiences with their charming smiles, beautiful voices and lively, African songs and dances.

The trunk of Charlayne ThortonJoe’s car is full of shaving cream, tin cans and towels.

The Victoria councillor has volunteered to be pied for 43 days during the Mustard Seed’s Pie-Off Challenge.

As part of the annual fundraising challenge, the Mustard Seed hopes to raise 100,000 pounds of non-perishable food to help stock its shelves until the spring and $100,000 in donations to help fund programs that help individuals break the cycle of poverty.

“People going hungry is something that I just can’t imagine in our community,” said Thorton-Joe, who has volunteered at food banks in the past. “It just breaks my heart.

When I look at my life and how blessed I am, in that I don’t know what it’s like to go hungry. To see people go hungry every day, I want to be able to do my part.”

Since the secondannual campaign kicked off on Sept. 19, Thorton-Joe has been pied a dozen times (with shaving cream instead of whipping cream so food doesn’t go to waste) in exchange for a $20 donation.

She has also challenged and pied

Besides having a softer-than-normal face, Thorton-Joe hopes to raise awareness of food security and issues of poverty in the community. She noted individuals on income assistance receive roughly $21 a week for food.

“It only works out to $3 a day. Just to have a cup of coffee eats up all of the budget,” she

said. “I can understand why people have to use places like Our Place for meals or church breakfasts or food banks because there’s no way you can go through a week and eat.”

Kelcy Snyckers, marketing and events coordinator with the Mustard Seed, said the campaign has been successful so far with more than 50 businesses, organizations and schools involved in the fundraising effort.

“I think it really shows that the heart of the community is

to come around the Mustard Seed and support the work that we do,” Snyckers said.

“We’re about bringing the community together to look at ways of circumventing or at least ways of breaking the cycle of poverty in Victoria.”

The campaign runs until Saturday, Oct. 30 during which all the food will be weighed and money will be counted.

OUR VIEW

Thank your local police officers The job of a police officer is one tough gig. A pair of officers were recently standing on the sidewalk, minding their own business when a woman came up and started yelling at them.

It was difficult to understand what exactly her concerns were, but she said she doesn’t see enough officers on the streets downtown. Instead of arguing with her, the officers kept their cool.

It didn’t matter what they said. The woman was looking for a fight.

Every day, police are forced to deal with people such as this, which is why sometimes it can be a thankless job.

Until you’re in the shoes of a police officer, it’s difficult to understand the people and the issues they have to deal with on a regular basis.

Members of the media recently got a taste of what officers do by taking part in some reality-based training, which all members of the Victoria Police Department have to go through.

Using officers as actors trained to demonstrate certain behaviours, the scenarios are made as real as possible to enforce an officer’s fundamental skills and any deficiencies that may arise. Each scenario is based on real events that have happened in the department or other police agencies, along with trends officers are seeing, such as more edged weapons on the street.

It’s interesting to see what you would do if you were confronted by an angry large man armed with a butcher knife.

Most people think they would know what to do, but until you’re placed in that scenario, it’s difficult to predict what your response would actually be.

Police don’t deal with angry men carrying a butcher knife on a regular basis, but they do come across dangerous people nearly every day.

Instead of criticizing police officers, we should be thanking them for the work they do in keeping us and our city streets safe.

Readers respond: Plan to tackle homeless pandemic has slight flaws Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps may have great vision and a realistic plan to tackle the homeless pandemic in Victoria by asking the CRD to borrow $50 million over the next 15 years much like taking out a mortgage to buy a house might involve multiple financiers instead of one.

If the CRD approves the plan they should look to the municipal financial authority for at least part of the financing. There are however some slight flaws her plan for supportive housing of 367 units, which she has somehow worked the interest expense after, deducting revenue from welfare’s meager shelter allowance, would cost each household $11.18 or as she says the price of three lattes.

We all know interest rates are currently rock bottom and are bound to go up. Ten years from now that interest may be a lot more than $2.08 million but hopefully the shelter allowances will also be higher.

One writer asked the annual cost to pay back the original principal of $50 million.

Well that should be easy (50m/15) $333 333 333 that is three and a third million a year plus the interest will be about $5.41 million a year assuming interest will go up as I said it will. So more like the price of seven lattes or more lattes depending where you are buying them and their size. In lieu of raising everyone’s taxes $30 to $60 hopefully the CRD can put their $400 million budget under scrutiny

and redirect some of it to paying down this mortgage if they do vote to borrow and find financiers. However there is another slight issue Lisa Helps might not of thought is what if the provincial government does not cough up the seven plus million she says would cost to run the supportive housing?

That is the reality for my generation.

We move around. Getting registered is a nuisance. Despite this, on Oct. 19, let’s get out in record numbers to vote for a Canada we believe in.

Heidi Monk Victoria

Getting registered to vote is a nuisance

Since I was 18 years old, I’ve voted in every municipal, provincial and federal election and the result has been that a mere three of my votes resulted in my choice of representative gaining office. No wonder younger people don’t vote! As a member of the very small demographic following the baby boomers, I often find my politics align more with members of the younger generation and I can’t help but wonder if we will see some real progress now that their demographic is old enough to vote.

When I was in university, registering to vote took extra time and bus tickets and it was frustrating watching candidates I didn’t vote for gain enough votes for a seat before my region had even been tallied. So, my message to young voters is: it’s worth the trouble, let’s see if our generations align politically. Particularly, let’s see if our votes preserve the future the environment.

Gwen Smith Victoria BC

I vote for change. And because it’s my right. A right that is relatively difficult to exercise.

It was tricky for me. I just moved to Victoria and haven’t updated my ID yet (Victoria’s housing market is tough to break into, and I travel for work).

Anticipating this, I applied to vote by mail from my Ottawa address before leaving.

My application got lost. But, I followed up.

My older brother also had problems.

He moved temporarily from Toronto to Montreal, and picked up a sublet. He has a Canadian passport, a valid drivers license and a valid medicare card, but no proof of address. He’s been jumping through loops to get registered. Elections Canada asked him to get a letter notarized, out-of-pocket.

My younger brother has no fixed address. He is back in Canada in between living in Seoul and taking off for an internship in the Philippines. He’s waiting to hear from Elections Canada what he

Voters flock to advance polls LEARN TO EARN Christine van Reeuwyk Black Press

Elections Canada estimates 3.6 million people voted during advance polls, up 71 per cent from advance polls in 2011.

“This is in a way potentially a good problem to have, at least if you take the classic argument that the system works better if more people are weighing in,” said Dr. Jamie Lawson, associate professor in political science at the University of Victoria.

“However, the question could be raised: Are those people who are going to vote anyway and chose to do it on Thanksgiving weekend rather than on the 19th?”

Elections Canada did not return calls by deadline but responded to frustrated voters on social media that polling stations were selected and controlled by returning officers.

The high numbers, however frustrating for some voters, could be a result of many things, Lawson says.

“One thing that could mean

a higher turnout for both the advance polls and the regular one on the 19th is just how tight this race is and how volatile it’s been. … It’s been difficult to figure out people’s overarching pattern,” Lawson said. “It’s rare for three parties to be tied for so long in our country. It’s also the case that, because we’ve had a single government in power for 10 years now, people who disagree with the governing Conservatives are growing in their sense of frustration.”

Modern technology could be another reason for the uptake, as social media feeds on Thanksgiving weekend filled with voting “selfies” and updates.

“There have been a number of different strategies to raise the total vote and getting people to think about voting in a co-ordinated fashion,” Lawson said. “People have been going to the advance polls voting and then saying to their social network, ‘Hey guys, I voted you should go vote too.’”

Convenience and the lengthy

campaign period could also play a role.

“We’ve seen over the past few years, concern both within Elections Canada and beyond, about declining voter participation and that’s part of the reason we’ve seen a turn to advance polling as more than just the right to vote if you have an unavoidable obligation. It’s new to think about advance polls as just another way to vote without having to have an excuse offered.” Lawson said. “I think for people who have a choice in the matter (of when they vote) it may be a way of saying, ‘I’ve made my decision, I’m done here and no one’s going to persuade me of anything different in the next six days.’”

The numbers leave more questions than answers about what voting day will look like Oct. 19.

“There have been times when turnout election day was incompatible with the trend at the advanced polls and disappointed people. … We’ll just have to see,” Larson said. editor@vicnews.com

An aerial shot of Esquimalt RibFest 2015 at Bullen Park in the summer.

Ribfest raises hundreds for local organizations It was smiles all around at the annual RibFest in Esquimalt during the summer, which saw recordbreaking attendance numbers and fundraising efforts.

“It was successful beyong our wildest dreams,” said Tom Woods, chair of the Ribfest committee.

The third-annual Ribfest included five ribbers — Prairie Smoke and Spice, Gator BBQ, Boss Hog’s, Misty Mountain, and Smoke & Bones.

During the three-day event of ribs and music, organizers estimated they saw more than 40,000 people (roughly 1,200 were children)

This year we raised over

$50,000

and raised more than $50,000 for the Esquimalt Firefighters Charitable Foundation.

Woods noted the attendance was about 50 per cent higher than previous years.

“We weren’t sure what to expect, but it was almost overwhelming for us, it was such a success,” he said, attributing the higher-thannormal attendance rate to word of mouth.

Over the past two years, the event has raised a total of roughly $60,000.

This year, just at the gate alone, they took in $25,000 — all of which goes back into the community.

Woods said people enjoyed the familyfriendly aspect of the event, which also included a kids zone comprised of a bouncy castle, face painting, obstacle course and

carnival games.

A significant change was the fact that they applied for a festival license this year so people could enjoy a drink anywhere in the park.

“I think it’s family.

Having children run around all over the place and having people not feel like they’re in a drinking pen, added to that family environment and everyone was happy,” he said.

The event also included a number of community booths, commercial vendors and performances by 20 local bands.

The Esquimalt Firefighters Charitable Foundation will distributed the funds back into the local community.

Organizers will take a break for a few months before planning begins in February for next year’s event.

For the Esquimalt Firefighters Charitable Foundation All funds will be distributed back into the local community!

Music therapy changing behaviours of those with special needs

Kendra Wong Victoria News

Guitars hang on the walls in musician Chris Trigg’s Victoria home as he begins to play Hallelujah on his acoustic guitar.

His daughter Bear begins to sing the lyrics. This is the first time she’s spoken in 22 years.

“When this happened it was like ‘oh my god’,” said Trigg, founder and director of the Mighty Hughs Foundation, a charitable foundation providing therapeutic music programs to the special needs

community in Greater Victoria.

“It’s almost like having your child look up at you at one year old and start speaking fluent German.”

Trigg attributes Bear’s change in behaviour to the Namaste Transition to Community Society’s weekly music program.

The society, founded in 1992 in response to the need for day programs as people with intellectual disabilities left institutions to begin their lives in communities, provides support for 15 participants who seek to become contributing members of their community.

The Namaste music program is the society’s most popular program where more than 150 individuals with developmental disabilities ranging

She can provide advice and guidance for your sleep apnea questions.

S

leep apnea and CPAP therapy are commonly known terms these days thanks to so many providing service for those requiring sleep apnea consultation and/or therapy. You can ask almost anyone these days if they have heard of it and they most likely know someone using a CPAP machine or are using one themselves. Diabetes, atrial fibrillation, acid reflux and high blood pressure are some of the problems strongly linked to obstructive sleep apnea.

I have some patients who know they have had obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) for 20 years or more but have never been diagnosed properly or were diagnosed but could not tolerate the therapy. More GP’s are recognizing the symptoms of OSA. There are so many options now for types of therapy, machines and masks, there shouldn’t be any reason why someone should shy away from treatment.

So many of my patients say the therapy (a.k.a. a normal night’s sleep) has changed their lives. If you don’t have sleep apnea but have a few nights of bad sleep, you can feel terrible. Can you imagine years of never sleeping a normal night’s sleep? When I hear of someone crossing the centre line and causing head on collision, my first thought is they likely fell asleep (possibly due to DUI) or maybe because s/he had sleep apnea.

There are ways to test for sleep apnea that do not require going into a sleep clinic. The tests are free of charge and you can rule in or rule out OSA. There are alternate devices to treat mild to moderate OSA other than a CPAP machine, but there are restrictions for use on these devices.

Please do not hesitate to contact me for a consultation if you think you or a loved one has OSA.

Oct. 17 to help raise $10,000 to open another music program in the Cowichan Valley.

Musicians such as Dave Taylor, former bass player for Bryan Adams, Chiko Misomali from Bif Naked, and Dave Reimer from Barney Bentall will be performing.

Pet food drive keeps homeless animals well fed Pamela Roth Victoria News

When Margarita Dominguez’s daughter moved to Victoria a few years ago, she couldn’t help but notice all the homeless people with pets.

Being an animal lover who was already providing food for pets across Greater Victoria, Dominguez banded together

with her family to begin the Boneless Project in 2012 — a program that provides pet food for owners experiencing homelessness, living in emergency shelters or going through financial difficulties.

The project has since become Dominguez’s passion.

Not only does she collect, pack and deliver the weeks worth of food in zip

lock bags to shelters and anyone in need, she also collects clothing since she can’t bare the thought of a dog shivering outside in the cold.

“I cry when I talk about this,” said Dominguez, who left her home when she was 16 after her mother didn’t want a dog in the house.

“The cats and dogs are the only family some people have.”

The society has launched several pet food banks in downtown Victoria and Sooke, and is the only registered group to offer a reliable food source for the pets living on the streets.

The first pet food bank opened in January 2013 and operated out of the Our Place Society.

Two years later, it moved to the Victoria Cool Aid Society, which allows pets inside its facilities.

Erin Gallagher, volunteer administrator with the Rock Bay Landing shelter, said there are between five to 10 animals staying there at any given time. The animals are typically dogs and cats, and the odd guinea pig thrown in between.

Thanks to the Boneless Project, the shelter has been able to provide pets with a regular supply of food.

“People staying in our shelters often have so few positive things going on in their life and their pets are often times their biggest motivator, their biggest companions,” said Gallagher, adding the pets are generally well cared for.

“People often at times neglect their own needs in order to take care of their pets.

The society will be holding a pet food drive on Monday, Oct. 19. Items such as wool socks and winter coats for pet owners are being sought after, along with warm impermeable winter coats for large dogs, backpacks for large dogs, flea treatment

and other left over medication for pets.

Gift certificates from supermarkets, pet stores and gas stations are also appreciated.

The pet food drive will take place from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Pandora Avenue and Broad Street. Items collected will be delivered during a street pet owners and

Pet food, flea treatment and left over medicine can also be dropped off at several locations throughout Victoria and Sooke. For more information visit the Boneless Project on Facebook, call 250-4185892, or visit safars. org/petfoodbank. editor@vicnews.com

“Shelters aren’t homes. But they’re 1,000 times better for everybody, including the people sleeping in parks and also the people who live near parks where people are sleeping.”

R YEA

Our Place Society has opened its first seven-day-a-week shelter to help get 40 people off the streets during the winter months.

With the help of provincial funding, Our Place will operate the shelter out of the First Metropolitan Church until March 31.

The shelter, which will be run by three staff members, will help accommodate the city’s homeless population who don’t already access shelters and will include space for shopping carts indoors, pets and areas for couples.

Don Evans, executive director with Our Place, expects the shelter will be busy in the upcoming months.

“There’s a need for more, but this is a good start . . . It gets people out of the cold, wet rain,” he said.

“We’re really trying to reduce the barriers for people to get them inside. We’re looking at the population that aren’t accessing the existing shelters and all the other shelters are running at capacity.”

They will also provide outreach and security staff, while custodial staff will do the clean up in the morning.

The shelter will be open at 7:30 p.m., earlier than most shelters, and will close at 7 a.m.

“People often sleep earlier for safety reasons. By having that open earlier it will be an advantage to people on the street because often they’re

Lincoln gets top MKX Montreal, Quebec - The Lincoln brand has been on a sales revival roll of late, especially since we discovered that movie star Matthew McConaughey is, and long before anyone paid him to drive them, captivated by Lincoln vehicles.

Well, he’s got another one to drool over now, the allnew Lincoln MKX. The midsize premium utility segment, where the new Lincoln MKX will circulate, represents a whopping 25 per cent of all luxury market sales in Canada. That’s a far bigger (percentage-wise) chunk of the premium auto pie than this segment draws in the US. Additionally, the MKX is made in Canada and rides on a new CD4 platform that it shares with the Ford Edge.

The second generation (first generation debuted as a 2007 model) redesign, however, moves this MKX even further away from its Ford family ties. The new body is lower and wider with curvaceous sculptured lines above the front and rear wheel openings. Up front, a new rendition of the Lincoln split-wing grille can come with adaptable LED headlights with blade-like projectors that aligned with

the new horizontal grille bars.

Not only do the new LED headlights look sharp, they also provide better light.

hour, LED reflector elements provide a wider and lower beam pattern. At higher speeds the light is refocused to project further down the road.

The Lincoln MKX drive experience is primarily about comfort, quietness and abundant power, which the new optional 2.7 litre V6

EcoBoost engine certainly provides. It can deliver up to 330 hp, yet what’s most impressive about this engine is its silky, smooth V8-like performance with beefy torque output (up to 370 lb-ft), especially at low engine speeds. The carry-over base engine is a 3.7-litre, 300-hp V6.

That said, MKX buyers will pay a hefty premium for the 2.7-litre twin-turbo engine. Pricing for a 3.7 MKX starts at $45,890, but it jumps to $53,940 for the 2.7 EcoBoost version.

Then again, that’s still a bargain compared to Euro competitors like a BMW X5 ($65,500 to $85,200) or a Mercedes-Benz GLE ($63,200 to $81,100).

Our test-drive tour through the Eastern Townships of Quebec confirmed that the MKX is a worthy wearer of the Lincoln badge. This picturesque area of La Belle Province is dotted with quaint little villages huddled around magnificent church buildings. Many of the roads, however, still bear the scars of those bitterly cold winters that Quebecers are accustomed to enduring.

The new integral link rear suspension, as well as the body structure and chassis upgrades, passed

the rough-road challenge with aplomb. The MKX comes standard with Lincoln Drive Control, a suite of ride-enhancing technologies and it offers three driving modes (Normal, Sport and Comfort). The Lincoln “Intelligent” all-wheel drive system is also standard, as is a new adaptive electric power-assisted steering system that can change both steering feel and quickness, dependent on a number of operating factors.

While I prefer a shift lever of some type, the push-button

transmission selector on the dash does give the MKX interior a sleek, uncluttered appearance. The selector connects to six-speed automatic transmission (both engines) and shifts can also be made via paddles on the steering wheel. City/highway fuel economy is rated at 14.7/10.3 L/100km (3.7L V6) and 14.1/9.7 L/100 km (2.7LV6).

Clever, under-console storage has also been created and super comfy 22way adjustable front seats are a new option. These seats come with an active motion massage feature for

the upper legs and lower back via six adjustable air bladders. They also come with four-way power head restraints and power thigh extenders.

If parking is not your favourite pastime Lincoln MKX has a couple of new technology solutions.

An enhanced park assist system, offers 360-degree camera coverage to provide a birds-eye view of the vehicle (and up to almost two metres all around it), making any low-speed parking situation easier. An even more advanced “autopilot” parking system, with 12 ultrasonic sensors,

can now guide MKX into a perpendicular parking stall, in addition to parallel parking assist and park out assist.

Like most vehicles in this class, numerous helpful driver safety aids are available for the MKX and include adaptive cruise control, lanekeeping system, blind spot information system and cross-traffic alert. A new pre-collision assist system helps avoid or lessen the severity of frontal impacts with another vehicle, or a pedestrian.

Pensions and payroll deductions to finance them are a key battleground for the Oct. 19 federal election.

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau sparked debate by endorsing the Ontario government's plan to launch a provincial version of the Canada Pension Plan, with mandatory payroll deductions to finance it.

The Liberal Party platform says only that a Trudeau government

“will work with the provinces and territories, workers, employers and retiree organizations to enhance the Canada Pension Plan.”

NDP leader Thomas Mulcair has made a similar pledge to expand the CPP, noting that Ontario and Prince Edward Island have already put forward pension proposals.

He plans to convene a meeting with provinces within six months of forming a government.

Conservative leader Stephen Harper has rejected mandatory expansion, but has said he would consider a system of voluntary additional contributions to CPP. The Conservatives have promoted an increase in tax-free savings account limits to $10,000 per year and

income splitting for married seniors.

Conservative Finance Minister Joe Oliver said for an employee earning $60,000 a year, the Ontario pension would reduce takehome pay by $1,000 a year, and similar payments by employers would lead to reduced employment.

The Green Party platform also promises to expand the CPP, but provides no details.

Trudeau and Mulcair have both denied Harper's allegation that they plan to eliminate pension income splitting.

Both have also vowed to cancel the Conservative plan to raise the eligibility age for Old Age Security payments from 65 to 67, which would not take full effect until 2029.

OAS is not a pension

plan, but a taxpayerfunded program that pays $565 per month for all seniors, in addition to the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) that provides up to $766 per month to qualifying low-income seniors. OAS is progressively taxed back for seniors whose combined income from other source exceeds $72,809.

In an interview last week, Harper said his government has provided the biggest increase in the GIS in 25 years, and defended the move to phase in a higher eligibility age for OAS, starting in 2023.

“We're doing, frankly, what most other Western democratic countries do, make adjustments based on demographics,” Harper said. editor@vicnews.com

Coach follows students to Greater Victoria Hall of Fame Black Press

Wrestling wasn't in Ed Ashmore's blood from the start, but it is now and it will be when he leaves this world.

The local legend has held an open door to the region's school-aged wrestlers, coaching a district-wide team since 1964. He introduced the sport to athletes who regularly succeeded at provincials and nationals, as well as a few who competed at the Olympics and world championships.

Now at 81 years old, Ashmore is following some of those names into the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame. He's entering in the builder category, one of nine to be celebrated at this year's induction banquet Saturday night at the Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort.

To this day Ashmore continues to lead the Greater Victoria Commonwealth Bulldogs district wrestling team training sessions, twice a week, in the gymnasium of Saanich's Cedar Hill Middle School. It's been a lifetime since his dad pushed him into the boxing ring as a three year old, marking the beginning of a long life in athletics.

“I would have been finished with wrestling a long time ago if it wasn't for Peter [Southwell] and Fraser [Sidaway-Wolf],” Ashmore says.

Arthritis has slowed the otherwise robust octogenarian.

At the beginning,

however, Ashmore didn't start in wrestling.

Under his father's guidance, Ashmore begain training in boxing. It was the late 1930s, and as a lead up act for a major night of professional wrestling, Ashmore's father arranged for Ashmore, then three years and eight months old, to box a local five year old.

“I didn't like it, every time I punched him he cried. I knew boxing, I knew how to box,”Ashmore recalls.

“It was different in those days.”

As a youth he fought again, however, he eventually moved away from boxing and focused on gymnastics, though not for competition.

He always liked the training of boxing, just not the hitting, which helped him fall in love with wrestling decades later.

But before he made it to Victoria, Ashmore's family relocated to New Westminster for what became another important step in his development. At 12 years old Ashmore showed up to St. Peter's School where he met athletics instructor Alex Strain. The latter had an effect on Ashmore that lasts to this day.

“Everyone loved [Strain], so many of his kids became teachers,” he said.

Following high school, Ashmore worked as an outside stevedor on a merchant ship running to Alaska and back. At times he had to load 100-pound bags of asbestos.

It wasn't until 1964 that another local fitness legend, Art Burgess, procured Ashmore's services.

“Art called me down to tour the YMCA and introduced me to the wrestling kids,” says Ashmore, who spoke at Burgess’ memorial service last year.

Ashmore led hundreds of students at S.J. Willis and then Lansdowne Middle School for 16 years

after that. His door was always open to students of other schools, and at times he'd have nearly 100 boys running soccer drills or waiting in line to climb the ropes.

He even recalls coaching S.J. Willis' soccer team, and, if he's correct, beating Oak Bay when it featured fellow 2015 inductee and Canadian soccer international Ike Mackay.

To this day Ashmore is regularly contacted by former students to meet for coffee and catch up.

“It was always about showing the kids respect, showing them you care about them, and they'll respect you,” Ashmore says. “They made me taller, how else do you think I managed those kids, I'm only five-foot-sixinches and a half.”

Goodlife marathon full of drama on Thanksgiving

CANADA’S GARAGE

CANADA’S

Friday, October 16, 2015 - VICTORIA

Industry-licensed technicians • Modern Equipment • Coast to Coast Warranty • Premium products you know & the Brands you can trust!

The 36th annual Goodlife Fitness Victoria Marathon on Thanksgiving Monday was a race full of drama.

Sixth seed Tisia Kiplangat took an early lead in the men's marathon, clocking a record time of 1:06 at the halfway point, then 1:41 at 32 kilometres.

But Kiplangat's pace began to slow around 40 km when he started cramping, then collapsed in the last kilometre.

Defending champion and fellow Kenyan Daniel Kipkoech passed Kiplangat, finishing the marathon in 2:25:40. Lamech Mokono finished second in 2:30:22 and Oliver Utting from Burnaby was third in 2:34:39.

The favourite for the women's race and 2014 champion, Lioudmila Kortchaguina, was leading for the majority of the

marathon, with firsttime marathoner Erin Burrett from Nanaimo and 2013 champion Catrin Jones close behind.

But with just a kilometre to go, Burrett attacked and in the last 300 metres, she passed Kortchaguina to win in 2:39:17.

“My goal was 2:40 and I felt very strong out there,” Burrett said.

“At three kilometres to go I had a few hip issues, but I had enough left for a spring finish.”

The half marathon was won by top seed Paul Kimugul in 1:05.

Second was Benard Ngeno in 1:06:01 and third was the 2014 winner, Willy Kimosop in 1:07:53. Top master was Victoria's Jim Finlayson finishing in 1:09:15.

The woman's half marathon saw some surprises with late registrant Malindi Elmore from Kelowna

winning in 1:15:35, setting a W35-39 age group record. Second was Kristen Rohde from Portland and third was fellow Portland elite team mate Lauren Johnson. Lucy Smith was the top female master winning in 1:20:42.

The marathon also hosted the B.C. Marathon Championships, with Burrett and Utting winning the 2015 titles.

The 8 km road race was won by Victoria's Nick Walker in 26:16, closely followed by Craig Odermatt, also of Victoria, at 26:22.

Lindsay Carson from Whitehorse, Yukon defended her 2014 title, winning the women's race in 27:32.

Second was Victoria's Hilary Stellingwerff in 27:40.

Roslyn Smith from Comox set a new age-category course record in the Marathon W65-69 with a time of 3:39:35.

This year’s winners n Daniel Kipkoech (Lethbridge, AB.) Marathon — time: 2:25. n Erin Burrett (Nanaimo, B.C.) Marathon — time: 2:39 n Paul Kimugul (Eldoret, Kenya) Half marathon — time: 1:05. n Malindi Elmore (Kelowna, B.C.)

truck licences have exploded and often grow into restaurants with downtown storefronts. In 2012 there were 26 licensed food trucks. That number grew to 50 in 2013.

The traditional impression of small business is also evolving, with new business models like car sharing and more home based businesses and shared work spaces growing.

One of the most important things to do as a consumer, said Carter, is support small businesses in the community by shopping locally.

In order to celebrate Small Business Week, the chamber will be hosting a number of seminars touching on subjects such as networking for success, financial management and effective negotiating.

A members breakfast will be held on Oct. 21 from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m.

Carter is encouraging the public to say thanks the next time they frequent a small business.

Canada's economy.

According to the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce, small businesses are the economic driver in the community, employing about 90 per cent of the work force.

“That's true across the country — the vast majority of people work for small businesses,” said Bruce Carter, chief executive officer of the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce.

“They are the fabric of the community.

A small business is more than a business.

It's usually a family, it's usually a sponsor of a little league team and somebody that coaches it and are involved in the community, so they are incredibly important.”

Carter said it's hard to pin point exactly how many small businesses are in the region, but he estimates it's in excess of 5,000.

They range anywhere from restaurants, small service companies and unique souvenir shops to accounting firms, lawyers and retailers. In the last few years food

Weinberger takes second in FINA marathon at the Swimming Canada High Performance Centre in Vancouver.

“He is learning to be patient by playing the game better.

That served him well in Kazan this summer when he earned a nomination to the Olympic team. He showed better speed at the end of the race and was able to outsprint the Ecuador swimmer headto-head the last 25 metres.”

Chun'an was the penultimate stop on the annually staged elite level tour, which is organized around 11 meets and takes place in natural water bodies.

Neighbourhood feel on Triangle Mountain site Home builder happy to be moving into area Don Descoteau Black Press

Developers sometimes get a bad rap for swooping in, buying up a swath of property, carving it into smaller lots, then selling it off at a profit, never to return again.

Chris Bowness likes to think he’s more invested in Vista Estates, a new Triangle Mountain neighbourhood that his company is partnering on building out.

Bowness, president of custom home builder Alair Homes Victoria, is thrilled with the fact he and his family are building their dream home on one of the 18 view lots created since 2011, when developer Fritz Karger decided to do something more with land his own family resided on for years.

“I like to say there’s an added attachment (in building your own home on land you’re developing),” he says. “You feel an added connection to the community around you and there’s an added sense of pride.”

With a five-year-old son already in school and a daughter who’s two, Bowness and his wife Scarlet — she’s the company shareholder and also operates a home-based baking business — are looking to put down roots in Colwood.

“We wanted security and stability for our family,” he says. “We designed the home and picked the lot. This is our long-term plan for the family (to stay here).”

Bowness, who graduated with a mechanical engineering degree from the University of Victoria 20 years ago and has since shifted his focus to architectural engineering, is jazzed, to say the least. Recently they had just broken ground on the lot for their custom-built home.

Part of what he likes about the

Don Descoteau/Black Press

Chris Bowness, president of Alair Homes Victoria, digs on the lot that by next year will be the site of his family’s new home. Alair is part of a local team that is developing single-family homes atop Triangle Mountain, on Demel Road and nearby Robson Place, under the Vista neighbourhood branding.

Vista Estates project, which is on an elevated and reinforced area bordered by Fulton Road, Karger Terrace and Demel Place and features the more recently dedicated Robson Place, is the combination of local companies that have worked on the project to date. “You’ve got different professionals involved, virtually all of whom are based on the West Shore,” he said.

Besides Karger himself (F.K. Developments), who raised his family in the original Robson homestead, Bowness lists such contribut-

The Other Guys

Call Now! 250.744.3301 dicastrilidstone@shaw.ca • www.dicastrilidstone.com

ing local companies as architectural designer Java Designs; Westbrook Consulting, civil engineers who do “land prep;” structural engineers Mann Engineering, and others having a hand in creating this exclusive neighbourhood.

The lots are a healthy size — 7,500 square feet is common ± and the four large, high-end homes built so far use a significant chunk of the available space.

The Bowness home, the fifth to be built on the property, will be in the neighbourhood of 4,000-square feet

when done.

From an investment standpoint, Bowness said they are considering buying up one or more of the lots and building spec homes on them for sale as a complete package.

The company markets its design/ build services to the public, but with connections already in place with tradespeople and other professionals, it may just make financial sense to help move along the progress of the neighbourhood a little more quickly. editor@vicnews.com

While I prefer a shift lever of some type, the pushbutton transmission selector on the dash does give the MKX interior a sleek, uncluttered appearance. The selector connects to six-speed automatic transmission (both engines) and shifts can also be made via paddles on the steering wheel. City/highway fuel economy is rated at 14.7/10.3 L/100km (3.7L V6) and 14.1/9.7 L/100 km (2.7LV6).

Clever, under-console storage has also been created and super comfy 22-way adjustable front seats are a new option. These seats come with an active motion massage feature for the upper legs and lower back via six adjustable air bladders. They also come with fourway power head restraints and power thigh extenders.

If parking is not your favourite pastime Lincoln MKX has a couple of new technology solutions.

An enhanced park assist system, offers 360-degree camera coverage to provide a birds-eye view of the vehicle (and up to almost two metres all around it), making any low-speed parking situation easier. An even more advanced “auto-pilot” parking system, with 12 ultrasonic sensors, can now guide MKX into a perpendicular parking stall, in addition to parallel parking assist and park out assist.

Like most vehicles in this class, numerous helpful driver safety aids are available for the MKX and include adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping system, blind spot information system and cross-traffic alert. A new pre-collision assist system helps avoid or lessen the severity of frontal impacts with another vehicle, or a pedestrian. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

The popular GMC Sierra Elevation Edition returns for 2016 with the styling enhancements and other features new to the entire Sierra 1500 lineup – including revised front-end styling with new, high-intensity discharge projector-beam headlamps and GMC Signature LED lighting.

The Elevation Edition – available on Sierra double cab – has a street-smart stance, thanks to body-color moldings, door handles, mirror caps and a body-color grille surround, as well as body-color bumpers. It also rolls on 20-inch black-painted aluminum wheels and is further enhanced with new Elevation Edition badging.

“The Sierra Elevation Edition offers a boldly styled pickup for customers who want a truck that looks as good as it performs,” said Mike Speranzini, brand director, Buick and GMC. “With its muscular design details, inherent truck capabilities and premium technology features such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, Sierra Elevation improves on an already impressive package.”

Inside Sierra Elevation Edition, the latest technology helps drivers stay

connected at all times. A new radio with a 7-inch-diagonal screen incorporates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto phone integration capability, which gives drivers the ability to make calls, send and receive messages and control music from the IntelliLink touchscreen. Additionally, OnStar 4G LTE and a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot allow continuous connectivity for up to seven personal devices.

All Sierra Elevation Edition models include remote keyless entry, remote locking tailgate, outside heated power-adjustable mirrors, a 110-volt AC power outlet, black recovery hooks

(2WD), a six-speaker audio system and more.

A standard 4.3L EcoTec3 V-6 engine delivers 285 horsepower and 305 lb-ft of torque with a highway fuel economy of 24 mpg. An available 5.3L EcoTec3 V-8 produces 355 horsepower – and offers up to 9,400 pounds of trailering capacity (2WD). Customers can choose two- or four-wheel drive and the Eaton locking rear differential is standard with both.

The new GMC Sierra Elevation Edition goes on sale in the first quarter of 2016. A price announcement will be made closer to launch.

Photo of the Week

General Meeting 4th Tuesday of the month @ 7pm

— Members and Bona Fide Guests — The Sooke Legion welcomes back

Lee-Ann Ruttan captured this photo of a Sooke Basin sunrise. Reader’s Photo of the Week is sponsored by the Stickleback West Coast Eatery.

Cariboo Express coming to Sooke Having an ache for some good ol’ fashioned Canadian roots, rock and country music? Well, there might just be a cure for that.

On Nov. 22, the Sooke Community Hall will host the Barney Bentall and The Cariboo Express show, which will take place at 7:30 p.m.

The show will include a mix of comedy, storytelling and a wide list of musicians, including Ridley Bent, Dustin Bentall, Wendy Bird, Kendel Carson, Matt Masters, and the Gold RushAll Star band.

Proceeds from all the show’s sponsors will go in support of the Sooke Food Bank. Since the Cariboo Express tour began in 2006, the group has raised more than $500,000 for numerous charities, and $140,000 just last year.

The group will begin its tour on Nov. 6, in Calgary and make its way across through B.C. and on to Vancouver Island.

The Sooke show will be presented by Mel Dobres, the Sooke Harbour Players and the EMCS Society.

Tickets are available via eventbrite.ca, Shoppers Drug Mart, EMCS program office and the Stick in the Mud Coffee Shop. news@sookenewsmirror.com
