After using their farm as a controversial urban cattle feed lot the past two years, the Alberg family has declared they will remove the cows on Thursday.
The Alberg siblings Florence, Gordon and Don, who grew up on the property, forwarded a letter on May 28 to Mayor Richard Atwell, Saa-nich CAO Andy Laidlaw, members of Saanich council and others, stating their intent.
“We hope this will be seen as an act of good faith, while we wait and see what Saanich Coun-cil does with our subdivision proposal. It is the same proposal approved by Saanich Planning in 2011 which was rejected by Council standing on ALR,” the letter said.
The letter arrived 17 days after council broke the land use stalemate by voting to move for-ward with a one-time solution to begin the rezon-ing process prior to requesting the property’s removal from the Agricultural Land Reserve.
Zoning approval for the property at 1516 Mount Douglas Cross Rd. has been in a tug-of-war for nearly 10 years with Saanich council.
The family’s 16-lot plan was turned down by Saanich council in 2011, followed by another proposal voted down in 2012. That result led to the Albergs using the property as a cattle feed lot to maintain its economic viability, the Albergs said.
The Albergs are now inviting the Gordon Head neighbourhood to meet the developer at an open house on Sunday, June 7 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the property.
Roger Tinney of Tinney and Associates, who designed the current subdivision proposal, will be on hand to answer questions. Light snacks will be provided.

Vic Gnaedringer and Susan Frizzell show off Polly the puppy on the grounds of the Queen Alexandra Centre for Children’s Health in Saanich. Polly, who is named after one of the first children Queen Alexandra Solarium treated at the original Mill Bay location in the 1920s, will be raised as a guide dog to assist an autistic teen.
Along came PollyTravis Paterson News staff
At just 12-weeks-old, Polly rings a bell and calmly waits for her chance to go outside to relieve herself.
The golden labrador is in the guiding hands of Saanich couple Vic Gnaedinger and
Susan Frizzell. The goal is to graduate Polly through the B.C. & Alberta Guide Dogs program as an autism sup-port dog or guide dog.
Polly was at the centre of attention last week in front of the Children’s Health Foun-dation office, as the Saanich-based organization donated
$15,000 to the B.C. Guide Dogs program. In turn, the Children’s Health Founda-tion were given the opportu-nity to name Polly.
“We chose the name for one of the first children Queen Alexandra Solarium treated at the original Mill Bay location in the 1920s,”
said CEO Linda Hughes of Children’s Health Founda-tion. “In those days, the focus was tuberculosis and polio. It just goes to show you how the needs of chil-dren have changed.”

The Victoria Wom-en’s Transition House Society is getting a boost after Uptown Shopping Centre donated 200 emer-gency shelter welcome kits last week.
Uptown handpicked and packaged basic items like shampoo and toothpaste as well as additional comforts like bath salts and nail filers to gift to the shel-ter.
There are also wel-come kits for children that include baby wipes, tear-free sham-poo and tub toys.
The kits are placed in the bedrooms of each new resident at the
shelter and are used during their 30-day stay.
“Kits are needed year-round for women, with and without chil-dren, who are fleeing domestic abuse,” said Susan Howard, devel-opment director of the society.
The society is also launching its spring fundraising campaign to raise funds towards operating costs of the emergency shelter and community pro-grams and services for women and children. Go online to transi-tionhouse.net for more [email protected]

Coast Capital boostsmental health app
Coast Capital Savings is donat-ing $112,950 to the Victoria Hospitals Foundation for the continued mainte-nance and improvement of Booster-Buddy, Canada’s first gamified mobile app for youth dealing with mental health challenges.
Designed by Island Health clinicians,
app company Robots & Pencils, and a team of youth with personal men-tal health experience, BoosterBuddy has been downloaded more than 5,400 times since its September 2014 launch.
The app provides a fun and engag-ing way for youth to self-manage their mental health by completing daily tasks that promote positive behaviour.
“One in five young people experi-
ence mental health challenges, but youth can be difficult to reach through conventional services,” said Lauren Fox, Island Health Clinical Lead for BoosterBuddy. “With Coast Capital’s support, we can continue working with our fantastic youth design team to make improvements that will help this app reach and engage with even more young people.”

� ere’s always fresh, local produce. And no matter whether you live in Saanich or are out and about in Greater Victoria, it’s increasingly easier to � nd a
Red Barn. “We are happy to an-
nounce our � � h location in Oak Bay opening in the fall,” Benwell said.
Red Barn’s smokehouse is located at Vanalman Avenue (and Glandford Avenue). When the winds are just right, passersby in the neighbourhood are tempted by aromas of bacon, sausage, cheese and more.
“We are always looking to expand into new and trending areas where we see a great � t,” Benwell said.
� e e� ort goes beyond the stores, as Red Barn is a strong and regular supporter of community initiatives from school fundraising programs, to upscale foodie events such as Culinaire and Taste Victoria.
“We created the mobile ‘Barn B Que’ so we could connect with the communi-ty and it’s going really well, it’s available for local events, let us know,” Benwell said.
Red Barn weekly specials are available on the website and run from � ursday to Wednesday every week.
Find Red Barn markets at 5550 West Saanich Rd., 751 Vanalman Ave., Mattick’s Farm in Cordova Bay, on Latoria Road in Metchosin, and coming to 1933 Oak Bay Ave. at Redfern Street, next to Home Hardware.
To some, Red Barn Market is a place to buy the tallest sandwiches in the city. For others, it’s a smokehouse
with 84 gluten-free products, much of them Island-made.
Truth is, Red Barn is more than a tra-ditional grocer, which makes it a popular stop. � e stores are a balance of fresh, local produce, the renowned sandwich deli with Tall as a Barn sandwiches, as well as speciality items and an o� ering of freshly butchered meat, house marinated meat, cured and read-to-cook sausages, � ne cheeses, and of course, fresh co� ee to go.
Hence the slogan: ‘Everyday Specialty Store.’
“Our de� nition of local is Island-grown, Island-made, Island-raised, we source from the Island � rst, before looking abroad to stock our shelves,” said owner Russ Benwell.

Olympic ‘Western Hub’ breaks ground at PISE
Travis Paterson New staff
Finally, a track to call their own. Athletics Canada will have priority access to the
new community track at Pacific Institute of Sports Excellence, as construction of the $1 million 400-metre project begins this month.
The four-lane loop, sanctioned by the Interna-tional Association of Athletics Federations, circles the Alex Campbell turf field and gives Athletics Canada a centralized base for its Western Hub. While it was previously a regional location using several facilities, the Western Hub at PISE is now a one-stop shop where the athletes can run com-bined workouts on a variety of surfaces, perform weight training and have access to the high per-formance amenities – coaching, physiotherapy, ice baths and more.
“Right now, I either run at UVic (Centennial Sta-dium) or at Oak Bay High (Jack Wallace), but both tracks are so busy, it’s great to have a track of our own,” said 2012 Olympian Hilary Stellingwerff. The Royal Oak resident came from Ontario prior to the London Games and was in attendance, with 11-month-old son Theo, at PISE’s official ground-breaking on Thursday (May 28).
“I’ll be here a lot. This is a perfect setup with the track being so close to the Centennial Trail and a network of trails that must be up to 100 kilome-tres,” Stellingwerff said.
The 1,500m specialist is geared to represent Canada at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, and will be regularly switching from spikes to sneakers by using the track and also taking advantage of the 1,100m loop around neigh-bouring Layritz Park.
The new track at PISE also boasts the unique training hill. Its rubberized surface will offer ath-letes a rare chance to wear spikes on an incline and decline, where they can work on sprinting form and overspeed, respectively.
Western Hub coach Heather Hennigar credited PISE for allowing Athletics Canada to offer key input on the track’s design. They’ll soon learn if Canada’s top male steeplechase runner, Matt Hughes, will also be taking advantage of the PISE track surface.
“There’s a few design elements we have yet to hear back about, the steeplechase is one of them, but all in all, we’re just so grateful to have priority track access and have a say on the design,” Hen-nigar said.
When finished, the PISE track will be made of an estimated 6,410 recycled tires obtained through
Tire Stewardship B.C. There will be multiple sur-faces with inner lanes designed to accommodate runners, and a hybrid outer lane for wheelchairs. The training hill likely will have a slightly softer surface to offer added grip.
“I’ll be on this track. I spend a lot of time in Victo-ria now,” said Michele Stilwell, gold-medalist Para-lympian and B.C. Minister of Social Development and Social Innovation.
Stilwell presented an additional $150,000 towards the $1-million track campaign, bringing it to 80 per cent of funding. That’s in addition to the province’s $100,000 of seed money provided one year ago.
PISE carries a long-term goal of enhancing acces-sibility and becoming a designated National Para-lympic Training Centre.
“The new track will provide a tremendous ben-efit to our community of Greater Victoria and will be accessible to individuals of all ages and abili-ties, enhancing both health and excellence. We are so grateful to the Government of British Columbia for this new major contribution,” said Robert Bet-tauer, CEO of PISE. The final $200,000 of yet-to-be raised money will cover the cost of a jumps area for athletics.
The track should be open by September, and will be open to all users.
PISE and running instructor Marilyn Arsenault, a successful latecomer to the sport, continue to build the running group they launched in January.
“The goal was to create a group of people who use the track and the trails nearby,” said the coach who created Mindful Strides, with a focus on run-ning technique. Arsenault personalizes the coach-ing to let runners know how much they should be running and to build their fitness.
“They are of all levels and you know what, being here and seeing the (elites), it’s good for every-one. Really, the pros don’t mind being recognized for what they do, and it goes both ways, they just want to be part of the community, so this will be a great space,” Arsenault said.
Minister of Social Development and Social Innovation Michele Stilwell, a double-gold medalist Paralympian, and Olympian Hilary Stellingwerff (with 11-month-old son Theo), at the PISE Track Project groundbreaking on May 28.
It’s hoped $1-million track project will attract Canada’s best athletes to Saanich
“The new track will provide a tremendous benefit to our community of Greater Victoria.”

A new meal sharing program that helps pro-vide meals to homeless people has exploded on the scene in Victoria.
Through the Mealshare program, which started in Alberta in 2013, patrons order certain Mealshare-stamped menu items from participating res-taurants, a meal is then provided to local or international organiza-tions that Mealshare is partnered with.
“The diner who pur-chased it is not only providing a meal for themselves, but also for someone else in need,” said Derek Juno, a Uni-versity of Victoria grad and vice president of business development with the program.
He said the program is a necessary step toward addressing sys-temic poverty in the country.
“We see meals as a way to incentivize people to get into the door and once they’re in the door, then they are exposed to all these other amazing resources such as job training, counselling, addiction recovery and housing.”
This year, they have partnered with Our Place Society, a down-town Victoria commu-nity centre that pro-vides breakfast, lunch and dinner for people seven days a week.
Grant McKenzie,
director of communi-cations for the society, said the program has helped increase aware-ness around the pro-grams it offers.
“It’s benefitted us immensely and not just in the revenue that Mealshare is generat-ing, but also in aware-ness and letting the res-taurants know that we exist and what we do, and making that con-nection is really valu-able,” said McKenzie, noting they’ve had sev-eral restaurants offer to serve lunch at the soci-ety.
Though the “buy one, give one-style program” is only in its second year, it has exploded in popularity with 22 participating restaurants in Victoria, up from only four res-taurants in 2013.
Among the partici-pating restaurants are Tacofino, Floyd’s Diner, Foo, The Mint, The Clay Pigeon and Camille’s.
Origin Bakery is also one of the eater-ies involved. When you buy any cake or multiples of six of any muffin or cupcake, you are donating to the pro-gram.
“It’s a really easy pro-gram to be a part of. They keep it really sim-ple. They’re really trans-parent about where the money is going and you know if you give them $1, they will feed some-one with that,” said Marion Scott, co-owner of Origin.
“We also have had
customers add on something when we tell them ‘hey, if you pick another muffin, you can donate to Mealshare.’ Most of the time they will.”
According to Juno, the Mealshare program has provided more than 42,000 meals to people in Victoria.
“Victoria is such a passionate, giving com-
munity,” added Juno. “It’s a small city, but they’re keeping up with some of the big cities that we’re participating in.”
The program also operates in Vancouver, Toronto, Edmonton, Calgary and Halifax.

Muzzling scientists should worry all
Mackay’s farewell reveals sorry state
Last week, federal Justice Minister Peter MacKay announced his intended departure from politics with Prime Minister Stephen Harper at his side. MacKay becomes the latest on a worrying list of Conservative cabinet ministers to head to potentially greener pastures in recent months. Since his retirement in February, John Baird, the former foreign affairs minister, is sitting pretty on Barrick Gold Corp.’s international advisory board, as a director with Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. and as an investment advisor to a Chinese billionaire.
MacKay, rather than hint at lucrative opportunities in the private sector, instead focused on his family as the reason for departure. (A cynic might argue that the 49-year-old was partly motivated by about $1.3 million in pension benefits that he otherwise wouldn’t have been able to claim under new MP retirement rules passed in 2013. Those rules will mean all politicians elected after the next election must wait until age 65, up from age 55, before they can draw a pension.)
National Post columnist Andrew Coyne delivered a brilliant and succinct piece about MacKay’s time in power on the weekend. Breezing over the minister’s memorable moments – dating the Conservative-to-Liberal defector Belinda Stronach, using a military helicoptor for a fishing trip, overseeing the botched F-35 procurement file – Coyne’s most poignant summary went as follows: “... (MacKay) was responsible for shepherding a number of bills through Parliament that seemed almost designed to be found unconstitutional, even as Justice department lawyers were losing case after case at the Supreme Court. Other than that, there isn’t a great deal to say.”
But there is so much to say about the broken state of Canadian politics. The outcome of the Alberta election, if it foreshadows anything about the public’s mood towards the relentless Harper-Mulcair-Trudeau battle, reveals a country that perhaps has finally seen through the Conservative’s false claim that Canada will economically crumble if another party gains power. (As a side note, Harper’s transparent messaging has switched of late from Strong on the Economy to the supposed dangers of the outside world and the imminent threat of terrorism.)
As Coyne points out, MacKay was mostly a blip on the political screen, trotting proudly beside a leader who continues to reshape our country into a thing desired mostly by bankers and investors, spooks and multinationals. Perhaps MacKay is disillusioned, as many Canadians are, by Harper’s relentless agenda. Perhaps the minister senses that change is in the wind, a view held by many political strategists who understand that the Canadian public likely can’t stomach the rapid deviations on environmental and social policies whipped through Parliament under the guise of safety and economic viability.
The public’s mood will remain cynical until the October election, and Harper cabinet dropouts like MacKay are simply adding fuel to that fire.

Re: The case for scientific freedom, Editorial (May 27)
The editorial stated, “The Stephen Harper Conservatives have done a disservice to Canadians by muzzling scientists and hacking scientific research to bits. The information researchers discover belongs to us and our public scientists need to feel safe to express their informed opinions.” Bravo. This editorial deserves to be widely quoted.
The scientific method is a sequence of steps used to understand the world: formulate a hypothesis, gather data to test the hypothesis, and publish the results.
Science advances because researchers want to prove that their hypothesis explains the facts better than the previous hypotheses.
Scientists argue vigorously with each other at meetings. They are usually careful about what they say and write, because they do not want to be ridiculed by their peers.
It is senseless for a government to restrict what scientists say, and to belittle what they find. The world and what we can observe about it (research evidence) is not affected by a government’s policy about the freedom of scientific expression.
Conversely, human and government actions do affect the world. In 1986, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) scientist George Winters presented a paper at a meeting indicating that the Atlantic cod stocks were declining steeply, and that the DFO had been overestimating cod stocks since 1977.
For political reasons his findings were ignored, and fishing quotas remained high for five years. Stocks collapsed, and in 1991 the Canadian Atlantic cod fishery closed forever. (The War on Science, Chris Turner.)
We can make better decisions if we have good evidence to review. We all benefit if governments and universities employ scientists and allow them to speak about their findings.

We might call ourselves Super, Natural or even The Best Place on Earth, but how is B.C. viewed around the world?
Ever since U.S. billionaires and their environmental clients decided more than a decade ago to supervise our society, the impression that British Columbia is a primitive colonial backwater in need of “saving” has only been reinforced.
In late April, the province and coastal aboriginal leaders announced completion of marine planning areas for Haida Gwaii and the North and Central Coast. U.S. activists knew about the announcement weeks before the legislature press gallery did, and a documentary crew was sent up to advance the narrative of the saving of the “Great Bear Rainforest.”
Within minutes of the announcement, the World Wildlife Fund website trumpeted the creation of the “Great Bear Sea,” continuing the penchant of outsiders for renaming large parts of B.C. to fit their marketing strategies.
Unlike the “Great Bear Rainforest” land use deal of 2007, the Sierra Club, ForestEthics and Greenpeace were not represented. Instead, Tides Canada CEO Ross McMillan sat beaming in the audience.
McMillan’s role in directing U.S. foundation money to B.C. has prompted him to declare
himself “a principal architect of the Great Bear Rainforest project,” although in the early years he and his staff (currently 24 people) stayed behind the
scenes while Sierra, Greenpeace et al took the credit.
At the event, two aboriginal leaders gave a nod to the real funder of the ongoing effort to “save” the B.C. coast, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. Gordon Moore is a co-founder of Intel Corp., maker of
most of the world’s computer processor chips, now spending his vast fortune on the Amazon basin, B.C. and other “threatened” places.
Other Silicon Valley and Seattle billionaires helped finance the original effort, and a strategy document surfaced in 2008 describing their plan to de-market the Alberta oilsands by creating a blockade against energy exports on our Pacific coast. That campaign has featured a fake cancer study and grossly exaggerated greenhouse gas claims compared to U.S. coal and oil production.
The effort has since expanded to natural gas, with false horror stories about “fracking” finding a receptive global audience.
Last week I wrote about the plan by British manufacturing conglomerate Reckitt Benckiser to buy up farms in the B.C. Interior and replant them
with trees. Contrary to my description, “RB Trees for Change” isn’t participating in the dodgy European carbon credit market.
They’re just doing it for global marketing purposes, covering pioneer-cleared farms of our colonial backwater with forest for 100 years so they can advertise their soaps and cold pills as carbon neutral. Another 10,000 hectares of B.C. “saved” from destruction by benevolent foreign interests!
Back to reality. B.C.’s Auditor General issued a report last week calling on the province to do more to prevent the “cumulative effects” of industrial development. A familiar example of this is the struggle to maintain caribou herds in northern B.C.
The B.C. government mustered a response from the multiple ministries that have worked on this since 2010.
Among other things, they noted that 90 per cent of B.C.’s vast area is now covered by regional land use plans created to manage cumulative impacts. A whopping 37 per cent of B.C. is designated as parks and protected areas for environmental and cultural values.
Maybe that’s still not good enough, but it’s better than anything I can find in Europe or the U.S. That’s particularly true of California, home of Hollywood, Silicon Valley, a pipeline spill, heavy oil refining and gridlocked freeways.

Protect your eyes from UV radiation
The sun supports all life on our planet; however, it’s life giving rays also pose dangers.
The Principle danger is in the form of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UVradiation is a component of solar energy, but it can also be given off by artificial sources like welding machines, tanning beds and lasers.
UV radiation is divided into UV-A, UV-B and UV-C. UV-C is absorbed by the ozone layer and does not pres-ent any threat (man made sources of UV-C, like electric welding arcs, are very harmful to the eyes, if you do not use proper protection). That’s not true of UV-A and UV-B. Scientific evidence now shows that exposure to both UV-A and UV-B can have damaging long and short term effects on your eyes and vision.
If you are exposed, unprotected, to excessive amounts of UV radiation over a short period of time, your are likely to experience a condition called photokeratitis. Like a “sunburn of the eye” it may be painful and you may have symptoms including red eyes, a foreign body sensation or gritty feeling in the eyes, extreme sensi-tivity to light and excessive tearing. Fortunately, this is usually temporary and rarely causes permanent damage to the eyes.
Long term exposure to UV radiation can be more seri-ous. Scientific research has shown that exposure to even small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years may increase your chance of developing a cloud-ing of the lens of the eye called a cataract and cause damage to the retina, the nerve-rich lining of your eye that is used for seeing. Damage to the lens or the retina is usually not reversible.
The effects of UV radiation are cumulative. The lon-ger your eyes are exposed to UV radiation, the greater the risk of developing conditions such as cataracts in later life. Therefore, you should wear quality sunglasses that offer good protection and a hat or cap with a wide brim whenever you are working outdoors, participating in outdoor sports, taking a walk, running errands or do-ing anything in the sun.
To provide protection for your eyes, your sunglasses should: block out 99 to 100 per cent of both UV-A and UV-B radiation; screen out 75-90 per cent of visible light; be perfectly matched in color and free of distortion and imperfection; and have lenses that are gray, green or brown.
If you spend a lot of time outdoors in bright sunlight, wrap around frames provide additional protection from harmful UV radiation.
Be sure to see your Doctor of Optometry regularly for a thorough eye examination. It is a good way to monitor your eye health, maintain good vision and keep up to date with new advances in UVprotection.

Tour highlights 11 gardens in Greater Victoria region
Eleven gardens will be highlighted in the ninth annual Water Garden Tour, hosted by For the Love of Africa Society.
Many of the gardens in the self-guided tours are located in Saanich including in Gordon Head, Cor-dova Bay and Cedar Hill Cross Road.
One of the Victoria gardens is in the Fernwood neighbourhood. The designer, Logan Thomas of Red Door Landscape Design & Build, will be on hand to answer questions regarding water features. The entire yard contains plantings and artistic details created by the owners. The pond has a sculpture of a fish jumping into the water. The heritage house with an incredible, small, unique garden in the back. The
water flows from an old brick wall. In Esquimalt, the water feature is at the Songhees
Wellness Centre. The designer of this water feature is Tony Huibers,
of Shibusa Pond and Landscape Services Ltd. Huibers has created a gorgeous flow of water that descends alongside Admirals Rd. The Songhees Wellness Centre is usually closed on Saturday but staff will open for the day. For the Love of Africa Soci-ety’s Water Garden Tour is on July 11 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tickets for the water garden tour are $25 each and available June 1.

Gender identity should be removed from birth certificates, according to a complaint filed with the B.C. Human Rights Tri-bunal on behalf of nine intersex or transgender people.
Morgane Oger, a transgender woman and chair of the Trans Alliance Society, says the forced assignment of gender identity at birth – quickly decided by a doctor inspecting the genitals – discriminates against intersex, trans and other gender non-conforming residents whose assigned gender turns out to be inaccurate or who don’t fully identify as one sex or the other.
A statement issued by the society says misidentified chil-dren “suffer grief when they go to school, humiliation when they apply for a driver’s licence and discrimination and danger
in every circumstance where someone wants them to ‘prove’ their gender.”
Oger argues there is no valid reason to put gender on birth certificates, adding there are many more sophisticated meth-ods to help identify someone.
“It is indefensible to use a marker which will certainly be wrong, and create havoc for, a predictable number of people.”
Health Minister Terry Lake said B.C. has moved to allow birth certificates to be changed, but removing gender would affect statistics used in medical research.
“We are studying this and looking at other jurisdictions, but we have to be really careful
with foundational identity doc-uments like birth certificates, because we want to make sure that we don’t impair people’s ability to travel internationally,” Lake said.
Transgender advocates else-where are also advancing cases seeking to remove gender from passports.
Oger said it’s not acceptable to have a third gender option like “other” because “that puts a target on the forehead of anyone with that third option recorded.”
Among the complainants is Harriette Cunningham, a Comox girl labeled male at birth who last year succeeded in getting her birth certificate gender changed to female. In 2013, at the age of 11, she won a Human Rights Tribunal case that led to new provincial leg-islation making such identifica-tion changes easier.
Gender should be removed from birth certificates, says society
“We are studying this and looking at other jurisdictions, but we have to be really careful with foundational identity documents.”

Society says assignment of identities is discrimination

A new website that uses data from a private weather sta-tion at Ten Mile Point should be a boon to local residents as well as recreational boaters and ocean enthusiasts in and around Cadboro Bay.
The weather station is owned and maintained by local
resident Julian Elliott, a San Francisco native who retired to Saanich with his wife. While Elliot has been operating the weather station since 2006, the user-friendly website will be appreciated by outdoor enthusiasts, he said.
“I’ve always been interested in weather and saw this as a great opportunity to set up a station to monitor it just for myself,” Elliott said. “After a while, I got involved in submit-ting it online to a worldwide network and then friends encour-
aged me to make it more widely available to the community.”Elliott’s data is part of an international network of govern-
ment and private stations used to monitor weather con-ditions, refine local forecasts and improve climate change projections.
“While I haven’t before tailored it to the public, some resi-dents check it to see what real-time local conditions are, which can be very different from public reports as they usu-ally rely on data from Victoria International Airport,” he said. Elliott said some sailors and kayakers have been accessing his data for years through a rudimentary website to moni-tor real-time weather in the micro-climate around Ten Mile Point and Baynes Channel before transiting. Its unique loca-tion at the tip of Ten Mile Point makes it the easternmost weather station on Vancouver Island, and one of the first to log the southeasterly storms that pass through during winter months, he said.
“Sixty-four knots is the record. That was an exciting night,” Elliott said. The weather hobbyist is open to feedback from residents about how to improve the website. To check it out, go online to tenmilepoint.com.

That means less than 100 kms needs to be moved to undisturbed
lands. These reroutes will be made to improve safety and address
environmental considerations, and will accommodate changes

We’ve been talking with the public, stakeholders, landowners
and Aboriginal communities along the proposed corridor to hear
their concerns. We expect you will ask questions. We’ve made
adjustments in many places to address the concerns we’ve heard.
Our intention in all of our planning is to minimize the impact on
residents, communities and the environment, while ensuring that
safe construction and operations are possible.

The solarium relocated to Saanich in the 1950s and the Children’s Health Foundation came after that.
It’s the first time Frizzell and Gnaedinger have raised a dog. They were drawn to the idea because of Gnaedinger’s visually impaired niece, who has benefited from her guide dog.
“We are really enjoying it, this might become a regular thing for us,” Frizzell said. “There’s a lot of fun to it, Polly has regular playmates with her brother Carl who is just down the road from us.”
This year, a grant proposal by the B.C. Guide Dogs caught CHF’s attention.
“We’ve moved from supporting adults to also supporting youth and children, and this is the first year we’ve received funding from Children’s Health Foundation,” said CEO Will Thornton of B.C. & Alberta Guide Dogs. “We have two whole teams of guide dogs graduation soon which are supported by Children’s Health.”
Autism support dogs help facilitate daily life skills and provide comfort and security to children with autism. The dog prevents the child from suddenly running or wandering off, and reduces stress, anxiety
and frustration levels of the child. The dogs also help in social settings.
Butterfly Ball raises record donations for CHF
Children’s Health Foundation held its seventh annual Butterfly Ball, for father and daughter, and raised the most to date: $44,000.
The ball was held on May 2 at the Victoria Marriott Inner Harbour and tickets sold out in less than a week. Dinner, dancing, games and a live and silent auction made up the evening. The event
included a personal story shared by a local family of how support from the foundation has made a difference to them.
The Butterfly Ball has now generated over $185,000 in support of children and youth with disabilities and health challenges across Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. The money supports child and youth mental health, the Queen Alexandra Summer Camp, the purchase of therapeutic equipment, Jeneece Place and the Bear Essentials Program, which helps families cover costs related to their children’s medical care.

Fans of Marvel comic books will have the chance to see their favourite characters in action as part of a play debuting in Victoria next week.
Marvel Universe LIVE! is a live-action show that includes more than 25 Marvel characters, including Spider-Man, Iron Man, Black Widow, the Hulk and Captain America, along with spe-cial effects, pyrotech-nics, aerial stunts and
martial arts.“It’s pretty much like
going and seeing your favourite Marvel comic book coming to life in front of you,” said Sarah Whitmore, who plays the villainous Madame Hydra and is a stunt motorcyclist with the
show. But it is not to be con-
fused as a remake of the Avengers films.
The story involves a Cosmic Cube, the source of ultimate power and one of the most feared and coveted treasures in Marvel Universe, that has been shattered into pieces by Thor to pre-vent it from falling into the wrong hands. Thor’s evil brother Loki devises a plan to clone its pow-ers, calling on the super-heroes to join forces to save the day.
“It’s got an entirely unique and epic plot of its own,” said Phil Smage, who plays Cap-tain America. One of the main scenes is an eight-minute chase and fight scene with 10 motor-cycle riders, including Smage and Whitmore who are engaged in real life.
“We’re using our bikes to knock down bad guys and to run over crazy obstacles. There is one scene where [Sarah and I] meet and she tries to whip me off my bike,” said Smage. “It’s pretty much on the edge of chaos. It takes a lot of concentration and focus during that scene because there’s so many moving pieces.”
The show is making its Canadian debut in Victoria from June 11-14 at the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre fol-lowed by shows in Van-couver.
Tickets range from $30, $45, $75 (VIP) and $115 for front row seats. For tickets, call 250-220-7777 or selectyourtick-ets.com.

Local golf teamwins PGA event
The Victoria Golf Club team of head professional Lindsay Bernakevitch and club champion Erik Swin-burnson shot a total of 5-under 65 to win the 2015 PGA of B.C. Tour-nament of Champions.
The tournament was played at the Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort in Langford last week.
The winning pair made just one bogey during their round, making birdie on their final hole.
The one-day event featured 38 teams from clubs across B.C., each consisting of the club’s professional and club champion.

Saanich’s Stefanie Sajko of the Vancouver Island Tide winds up during play in California with teammate Judy Cristante looking on.
The Vancouver Island Tide U16 girl’s field hockey team – which consists of Greater Victoria players – recently struck gold at a California touranment.
The rep team travelled to Simi Valley in the Golden State from May 23 to 25 for the 2015 California Cup – an international field hockey tournament comprised of over 150 teams from around the world, including the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Australia and more.
After played three days of intense field hockey, the Tide defeated the Vancouver-based Rob Short Acad-emy team in the final 3-1 as the 2015 U16 girl's California Cup champions.
Five of the Tide players are U15 BC Select team play-ers and two are U18 BC Select team players.
Canadian Field Hockey Hall of Fame member Nancy Mollenhauer coached the team with Julie Williams.
Tide clean up in CaliTide junior rugby tryouts
Over the next two weekends the South Island Junior Tide boys and girls rugby teams will hold tryouts for the upcoming Provincial Regional Champion-ships.
This year’s PRCs have been expanded to include both U15 and U17 men as well as U16 women. Last year’s Tide U16 men finished second, with the U18 men finishing eighth.
The U18 women’s team combines the south and north island athlete pools and com-petes as the Tsunami. Last year they took first place at the PRCs.
“We strongly encour-age rugby players to tryout regardless of their experience,” said Marlene Donaldson, chair of the Junior Tide board.
Trials for the U15 and U16 Men, U16 Women are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., June 6 -7, at St. Michael’s University School.
Trials for the U17 and U18 Men are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., June 13-14 at UVic’s Wallace Field. Visit tiderugby.com for details.

After using their farm as a controversial urban cattle feed lot the past two years, the Alberg family has declared they will remove the cows on Thursday.
The Alberg siblings Florence, Gordon and Don, who grew up on the property, forwarded a letter on May 28 to Mayor Richard Atwell, Saa-nich CAO Andy Laidlaw, members of Saanich council and others, stating their intent.
“We hope this will be seen as an act of good faith, while we wait and see what Saanich Coun-cil does with our subdivision proposal. It is the same proposal approved by Saanich Planning in 2011 which was rejected by Council standing on ALR,” the letter said.
The letter arrived 17 days after council broke the land use stalemate by voting to move for-ward with a one-time solution to begin the rezon-ing process prior to requesting the property’s removal from the Agricultural Land Reserve.
Zoning approval for the property at 1516 Mount Douglas Cross Rd. has been in a tug-of-war for nearly 10 years with Saanich council.
The family’s 16-lot plan was turned down by Saanich council in 2011, followed by another proposal voted down in 2012. That result led to the Albergs using the property as a cattle feed lot to maintain its economic viability, the Albergs said.
The Albergs are now inviting the Gordon Head neighbourhood to meet the developer at an open house on Sunday, June 7 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the property.
Roger Tinney of Tinney and Associates, who designed the current subdivision proposal, will be on hand to answer questions. Light snacks will be provided.

Vic Gnaedringer and Susan Frizzell show off Polly the puppy on the grounds of the Queen Alexandra Centre for Children’s Health in Saanich. Polly, who is named after one of the first children Queen Alexandra Solarium treated at the original Mill Bay location in the 1920s, will be raised as a guide dog to assist an autistic teen.
Along came PollyTravis Paterson News staff
At just 12-weeks-old, Polly rings a bell and calmly waits for her chance to go outside to relieve herself.
The golden labrador is in the guiding hands of Saanich couple Vic Gnaedinger and
Susan Frizzell. The goal is to graduate Polly through the B.C. & Alberta Guide Dogs program as an autism sup-port dog or guide dog.
Polly was at the centre of attention last week in front of the Children’s Health Foun-dation office, as the Saanich-based organization donated
$15,000 to the B.C. Guide Dogs program. In turn, the Children’s Health Founda-tion were given the opportu-nity to name Polly.
“We chose the name for one of the first children Queen Alexandra Solarium treated at the original Mill Bay location in the 1920s,”
said CEO Linda Hughes of Children’s Health Founda-tion. “In those days, the focus was tuberculosis and polio. It just goes to show you how the needs of chil-dren have changed.”
