The federal government may have approved Enbridge’s Northern Gateway oil pipeline project, but widespread opposition in B.C. means the road to completion is fraught with challenges.

The decision is still subject to 209 conditions recommended last year by the National Energy Board’s Joint Review Panel, as well as five conditions set by the B.C. government, but public buy-in simply doesn’t exist, said Victoria MP

Murray Rankin.“There’s no social licence to proceed

on this project,” said Rankin, who along with Skeena-Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen spoke at length against the pipeline approval in the House of Commons.

Rankin said B.C. residents can now voice their opposition most strongly at the ballot box in the 2015 federal election.

“One concrete action that can be done is we can defeat the 21 Conservatives in B.C. who hid from the people they represent,” he said.

There are more than 130 First Nations across B.C. opposed to the project, and

ensuing legal battles on the pipeline route are likely to drag through the courts for years, Rankin added.

“The pipeline route goes under salmon-bearing rivers, and it’s going to cut right through one of the herds of endangered mountain caribou. Those are both the subject of lawsuits,” he said.

Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA Andrew Weaver said the provincial government has the authority to grant or

deny dozens of construction permits for the 1,177-kilometre pipeline, and Premier Christy Clark can echo public opinion by opposing the project.

“The fact is, Kitimat is opposed to this project. First Nations are opposed to it. British Columbians are opposed to it. It’s time for the provincial government to draw a line in the sand,” said Weaver, deputy leader of the B.C. Green Party.

Clark has set five conditions for Northern Gateway that include world leading marine and land spill protections, resolution of aboriginal concerns and a fair share of benefits for B.C.

Environment Minister Mary Polak said the decision means the project meets the first of those five conditions, a successful federal review.

TimberCleanup starts on Beach Drive near Bowker Avenue Sunday evening after a large pine limb fell. The limb of the tree on private land already hung fairly low before it failed around 5 p.m. on June 15. Oak Bay Parks cut the tree back to the fence line and cleaned up the public side of the fence. No injuries or significant damage to property was reported due to the incident.

Two Oak Bay men are provincial tennis singles provincial title-holders – again.

Robert Bettauer won his third Men’s 55 Singles title in four years during the B.C. Senior Tennis Championships last weekend at Jericho Tennis Club in Vancouver.

“It was Father’s Day so it was satisfying for me to have my family watching,” Bettauer said. “At this point we all have it in perspective. We play for the enjoyment. … What I love about competing at this age is you’re not only exercising your body, you’re exercising your mind and

emotions.”Hannes Blum won the Men’s 45

Singles title. “He’s won back to back and

ranked top three in Canada,” Bettauer said of his sometimes training partner.

“It was fun, it’s always fun. It’s nice to represent the Island a little bit and compete with the Mainland guys,” said Blum.

“It’s great to get out and be competitive in the seniors category. It keeps you fit on many levels.”

The win was the second consecutive title for Blum.

“Last year I was very happy, it was the first time I’d won a provincial title. To defend it was great,” Blum said.

“We just represented Canada in the world senior championships as well,” added Bettauer.

The Canadian contingent

finished 11th at the World Senior Team Tennis Championships in Florida, a step up from the 17th place finish last year in Turkey.

Next up for Bettauer, who is also the current national champion, is the week-long grass court championships at South

Cowichan.“We are blessed that we have

the second oldest grass club, the oldest being Wimbledon, in the world in South Cowichan,” he said.

At more than 125 years old and sporting seven, well-tended grass courts, the Oak Bay player enjoys playing on grass, something he’s done on the oldest grass courts during his professional tennis years.

“Playing on grass is a real treat,” he said. “Easy on the body. The grass is like a natural air conditioner. It just absorbs heat, it’s cool on the feet and body.”

Both hope to head to Toronto for nationals in August.

“That’s the next big highlight on the calendar. I’m strongly considering it,” Blum said. “Maybe we’ll make it a family trip.” [email protected]

Habitat Acquisition Trust wants to know where the bats live in Oak Bay.

HAT’s Community Bat Program hopes to learn more about bats (winged mammals, not cricket) in the region to guide conservation efforts, enhance habitat and help homeowners, who choose to evict colonies, to do so in a way that harms the bats as little as possible.

With other community bat programs across the province, HAT is helping co-ordinate the annual Bat Count, a citizen science program to monitor bat populations in roost sites.

“We know that there are bats in Oak Bay, people see them flying at sunset, but we don’t know of any roosts in the Oak Bay area,” said Adam Taylor, executive director of HAT. “Since bats usually hunt within 400 meters of a roost site, there is likely a roost (or more than one roost) in Oak Bay, but we have no reports.”

Abandoned houses, barns, church steeples – and even currently occupied structures – can provide a summer home to female bats and their young.

Monitoring these “maternity colonies” can give biologists a good idea of how bat populations in an area are doing from year to year.

They’re looking for volunteers for four counts during the summer. Call 250-995-2428 or email [email protected] to volunteer.

Oak Bay is a very special community, and council considers our responsibility to serve

the citizens of Oak Bay a privilege. During the last

municipal election, residents called for more involvement in local government decision- ‐making to address evolving community needs. Council listened and responded, inviting the broad community to help renew Oak Bay’s Official Community Plan (OCP).

The provincial Local Government Act requires that OCPs be reviewed and updated periodically as it is a key planning tool, setting out municipal policies to help guide and adapt to evolving community needs over the long term. The OCP ensures that communities throughout the province are compliant with current regulatory, social, economic and environmental standards.

Change is inevitable and it is happening all around us. The intent of the 2014 OCP is to help Oak Bay council guide and manage change, while protecting the community’s unique character and core values.

On June 3, the OCP Advisory Committee (OPAC) chair, Coun. Pam Copley, presented to council a 2014 draft OCP on behalf of OPAC, a committee comprised of citizen

volunteers and three councillors who, working together, have devoted hundreds of hours over the past 18 months, empowering the broad community to articulate a common vision for Oak Bay today, and into the future.

The draft OCP highlights the priorities of residents, such as neighbourhoods, streetscapes, heritage, and our natural

environment, and helps guide decisions to support a modest increase in density in some areas of our community. Maintaining our population growth targets at 0.5 per cent, as it was in the 1997 OCP, respects considerations for modest density increases. The OCP also helps inform the new provincial requirements under the Local Government Act to recognize housing options as well as land- ‐use allocations. Community plans throughout the province must now include a housing policy that provides for affordable, special needs and

rental accommodation. In addition, considerations for climate change must also be reflected, including targets for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, as well as policies and actions to address those targets. These are very positive and responsible additions that will enhance our community.

OCP renewal is a priority for council.

The 2014 OCP marks the first time in Oak Bay’s history that thousands of citizens have been involved in shaping and informing their community through this OCP renewal initiative. This community- ‐building effort is a proud and important achievement, made possible thanks to the dedication of Oak Bay residents who gave their time, passion and energy to help define and protect Oak Bay’s core qualities and its unique and inclusive character.

Council has directed staff to proceed with the formalization of the OCP. The final OCP, in bylaw form, will be presented to council on June 23 for consideration and first and second reading. A date for a public hearing is expected to be announced at that time. The 2014 OCP will then be posted online and sent out for referral to external agencies for comment as required by the Local Government Act.

- Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen

OCP anchored by community

Approach progress with creativity

One could take issue with the veracity of much of Mr. Mears malevolent missive (New OCP may be a developer’s dream, letters, June 6) regarding the official community plan, but I respond here only to its motivation and tone.

Citizens have a right to opinions about our community. We have the right to try to persuade others to believe what we believe, even when what we believe may be misinformed, untrue or motivated by narrow-mindedness, selfishness, paranoia, ignorance, or all of these. However, citizens may also be interested in positive progress and open-mindedness about how and where we live.

Human settlement evolves; urban plans are made then revised as technologies, needs and preferences change. Impetus for change also comes from compelling forces such as population growth, food security and the effects of climate change. Other motivators are more philosophical or values-based such as humanitarianism, philanthropy, societal norms and social responsibility.

What our town looks and feels like, and how it performs, reflects planning policies through design and construction. Articulating our vision of citizenship in this context is the purpose of an official community plan. Planning policy then guides public and commercial projects that give that vision form. This is where quality and characteristics of rich, heterogeneous, socially balanced density is created instead of over-crowding. This is where imaginative design and diversity are fostered, instead of ersatz, homogeneous blandness, and this is where a secure, verdant public realm is created instead of meager, leftover space between private enclaves.

OCPs, bylaws and public policy mandate and regulate desired qualities of our built environment and how it will accommodate the richness and character more people will bring.

Instead of fearing inevitable population growth in this wonderful part of the world, and instead of fabricating specious arguments ostensibly to protect it, we should encourage architects and developers toward higher ideals and creativity. Our leaders should insist on design and construction excellence reflecting our highest aspirations as enlightened citizens. We should support positive vision and avoid the shrill persuasions of the myopic, self-appointed watchdogs among us.

Reduce, reuse, recycle, reforestKyle SlavinNews staff

A family of ducks swims to the edge of a freshwater pond and waddles up a slight embankment to enter a growing forest of Douglas fir trees. The air smells clean, as a light breeze passes through this expansive site in rural Saanich.

This isn’t the lands surrounding Prospect Lake or a daylighted section of Tod Creek – the grounds occupied by Hartland landfill.

Below those ducks’ feet is 40-plus years worth of garbage – 50 metres deep and 4.5 million cubic metres of trsh. But you would never know it from the surface.

This is Phase 1 of Hartland landfill. When it was filled to capacity in 1998 it was closed and covered up. Now it’s in the process of being transformed into a natural forest.

“If you can visualize it, we’re on a whole bunch of garbage right now. Then on top of that is 10 feet of dirt, then this two-inch piping lays across the entire footprint, then on top of that is a big, geotextile membrane, and then on top of that membrane is another 10 to 15 feet of dirt, and then we reforest it with native plants,” says Drew Fafard, supervisor of safety and technical services for Hartland operations.

The reforestation is a long-term project that began at the landfill in 2004. In the decade since, more than 25,000 native trees and plants have been planted on the site.

“Eventually when everything’s closed, you’re not going to know this was a landfill,” says Monique Booth, supervisor of communications and education for Capital Regional District environmental services.

The goal is for the landfill footprint to eventually blend in seamlessly with the forested area and Mount Work Regional Park that shares a border with the property.

Hartland landfill is divided into two phases. All of the Capital Region’s garbage that’s sent to the landfill today (and since April 1997) is deposited in Hartland Phase 2.

It’s that phase that’s currently slated to be full – 10.3 million

cubic metres of garbage – by 2049. But Booth says that deadline could potentially be pushed back indefinitely if people follow the three R’s: reduce, reuse, recycle.

“It might not ever be full; if diversion rates keep going up. But I think once it’s full and closed, we’re going to be transitioning back to the natural environment surrounding the site,” she says.

“Right now we’re in the middle of our solid waste management plan, and that’s something we’re going to look to the community on. We really feel like this is our region’s landfill and it’s our region’s decision on what happens to it in the future.”

This weekend, the landfill hosts Hartland Happening, a behind-the-scenes event that gives residents in the Capital Region a better understanding of where their garbage goes and what’s going on at the landfill.

“I like to think of it as, ‘Come say hello to away.’ People throw

away so much stuff, and it really doesn’t go that far away,” Booth says. “If you grew up in Victoria, everything you’ve ever thrown away you can go and wave to at Hartland. From your diapers when you were a baby to that plastic bag last week.”

Visitors to Hartland Happening will be able to take a guided bus tour of the landfill, and there will be info booths on site to learn about all the projects at Hartland. Kids will be able to play in a giant sandbox and see a live hawk up close. (The bird of prey is brought to the landfill nearly every day to scare away seagulls, preventing them from treating the active landfill site as an easy food source.)

Hartland Happening aims to be a zero-waste event, and encourages all visitors to bring a reusable water bottle. Napkins, plates and cutlery that will come with food sold at the event – courtesy of Mr. Tube Steak – are all compostable or recyclable.

“Nothing used on the day will actually go up to the landfill,” Booth says.

Parking at the landfill is limited, but the CRD offers a frequent shuttle bus service from parking lot 5 at Camosun College’s Interurban campus (4461 Interurban Rd.).

Hartland Happening runs from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday (June 22) at 1 Hartland Ave.

Monique Booth and Drew Fafard stand among the native vegetation replanted at Hartland Landfill over the old fill site. Some 50 metres below their feet is decades worth of garbage.

Did you know?n The two-inch piping Fafard mentioned is part of a vacuum system that collects methane produced by the decomposing organic waste. The gas is sent to an on-site plant that burns the methane, converting it to electricity. That electricity is sold to BC Hydro and helps power 1,600 Greater Victoria homes annually.

“We recognize the benefits that the Northern Gateway project may bring, but they will not be at the expense of our environment,” Polak said.

Rankin said Clark would be “hypocritical” not to oppose construction of the $6.8 billion project.

“This is the fight of our generation,” he said. Rankin also promised the NDP would set aside the pipeline approval if elected to a majority in 2015. “I’m a lawyer and I’ll help in any way I can. I’ll stand beside our aboriginal

citizens in any way I can. … Bottom line: this pipeline will never be built.”

The twin pipelines would carry 525,000 barrels per day of diluted bitumen from the oil sands west to Kitimat and send condensate to act as a thinning agent east to Alberta.

Christina Johnson-Dean is fed up with someone dining and dashing, without trashing, in Anderson Hill Park.

On occasion, someone will deliberately dump paint cans and lawn clippings, that’s disturbing enough. But with increasing regularity, she said, they’re finding fast food wrappers and bottles discarded on the ground, just metres from a trash bin.

“How can it keep happening? Doesn’t somebody outgrow that behaviour?” she asked.

“And the garbage can is how many metres away? It’s in

Oak Bay promotes Anderson Hill Park as “a valuable recreational resource for citizens to peacefully enjoy the natural park ambience and panoramic views, with some ecological and archeological educational value.”

“People walk their dogs and enjoy the view,” said Johnson-Dean, who is among those that voluntarily pull invasive species from the park still colloquially known as Blueberry Hill. “Other people are picking up after them.”

“We recognize the benefits that the Northern Gateway project may bring, but they will not be at the expense of our environment,” Polak said.

Rankin said Clark would be “hypocritical” not to oppose construction of the $6.8 billion project.

“This is the fight of our generation,” he said. Rankin also promised the NDP would set aside the pipeline approval if elected to a majority in 2015. “I’m a lawyer and I’ll help in any way I can. I’ll stand beside our aboriginal

citizens in any way I can. … Bottom line: this pipeline will never be built.”

The twin pipelines would carry 525,000 barrels per day of diluted bitumen from the oil sands west to Kitimat and send condensate to act as a thinning agent east to Alberta.

PAID FOR BY ARESST

Open Letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper

PAID ADVERTISEMENT

ARESST respectfully submits that approximately one billion dollars of federal-provincial-municipal taxes are on the verge of being committed to an unnecessary sewage project in the Capital Regional District of Victoria (CRD).

Federal regulators have classi� ed Victoria’s current marine-based treatment system as “high risk.” CRD’s monitoring reports of the ocean discharges show otherwise. For example:

� Substance concentrations near the outfalls are better than water quality guidelines

� Metal concentrations from the outfalls are less than EPA standards for drinking water

� Coliforms from the outfalls rapidly perish in the cold sea water

� Any risk to human health is low

Further evidence that Victoria’s ocean discharges are low risk:

� The International Water Assn. reports (2010) ocean outfalls are “an economical and reliable strategy for waste-water disposal with minimal environmental impact”

� The World Health Organization, US National Research Council, and a British Royal Commission have concluded that ocean treatment of sewage is an acceptable, sometimes preferable, practice. (US Congress declared the evidence to be overwhelming)

Victoria citizens walk, sail, windsurf, and � sh along their pristine waterfront, but there has not been a single case of illness due to the nearby outfalls. This reality is consistent with the CRD’s � ndings of low risk.

Because the high-risk classi� cation is inappropriately based on a fresh-water model, Canadians are being forced to spend a billion dollars to replace Victoria’s exemplary, low-impact marine-based treatment system with a higher-impact land-based system.

We respectfully request that Victoria’s current treatment system receive a classi� cation consistent with the evidence provided by the CRD, the Institute of Ocean Sciences, and regional medical health of� cers.

Safety Tip:As schools begin their summer break, there will be more children around the roads. Road safety is not always top of mind for kids, so make sure you pay extra attention, especially around

playgrounds where speed limits remain in effect year-round.

Question of the WeekFour-time F1 champ Sebastian Vettel got behind the wheel of a kart when he was just three-and-a-half years old and was racing at age eight. Should we encourage teens to follow that example, as a way of learning about vehicle speed and control before getting their first license at 16?

Hot laps with F1 World Champ Sebastian VettelBOWMANVILLE, Ontario. Four-time Formula One world champion Se-bastian Vettel has been driving since 1991 – 20 years less than yours truly.The Infiniti-Red Bull Racing Team lead man was only three-and-half years old when he took the wheel on a kart in his native Germany. He began racing four years later at the ripe old age of eight. He has a few years under his safety harness but he’s always up to learn from his elders.Last year, the 26-year-old wunderkind showed off his driving skills to me and buddy Brian Makse – a man also with racing pedigree – in an Infiniti FX50 Vettel Edition FX on the Paul Ricard Circuit in the south of France. We both figured his cornering needed work. Seb’s seat time with us clearly paid off as thereafter he won his fourth straight F1 championship. It came as no surprise then that he would jump at the opportunity to take the wheel again alongside me. Brian wasn’t available but I headed here to the Canadian Tire Motorsport in Ontar-io to work the magic again. The affable young guy has had a tough start to the F1 season, battling with the new hybrid technology.I put in some time first with retired F1 driver and now ace BBC TV F1

commentator David Coulthard on an auto cross track, laid out in the shape of the Infiniti logo. As I finished my turn at the wheel of the Infiniti Q50, the Scot sent me off to Seb with the words: “No cones were hurt in this filming . . . ”I’ll take that as a compliment for my error-free drive.Buckled up in anoth-er Q50S ($47,450), I wondered if Seb would demonstrate an improved cornering technique as we did a hot lap together around the reputedly fast 3.95-kilometre track. He

greeted me warmly, I thanked him for a hat he had kindly autographed, which I recently auctioned off. He was pleased to hear it had raised hundreds of dol-lars to help send local leukemia-strick-en teen Ryan Fagnan and his family on a last vacation, shortly before he died. We roared out of the pit lane through the first turn and continued to accel-erate downhill – close to 170 km/h – towards the second turn. Locals told me the stretch to the turn features a number of camber changes down to the second turn, scene of most of the track’s fatal crashes. Gulp.Obviously, nobody had cautioned him as he whipped the family sedan effortlessly round, talking about how he relaxed as we drove. Movies with happy endings apparently. Ah, the same conclusions he likes to F1 races.

“There haven’t been too many of those lately,” he joked, pressing harder on the metal, perhaps to make a point. As Infiniti Director of Performance, Vettel is truly playing a role in the development of future road products, rather than merely offering his name as a celebrity endorsement. He talked enthusiastically about the new com-pact, performance-oriented Q30, which should see the light late next year in Europe and a little later in Canada. The 328-horsepower 3.7-litre V6 Q50S we were riding in also benefitted from a little of his input. He’s clearly looking forward to Infiniti giving the go-ahead to the Q50 Eau Rouge concept, which features the Nissan GT-R’s growling 560-horsepower twin-turbo V6. Another corner loomed and I leaned into the door, as he barely slowed from the rapid pace we had zipped along the straight. “Your cornering has improved since last year,” I offered cheekily.

“Thank you, I think I’ve got the apexes about right,” he grinned. Hours earlier, it’s doubtful he had even heard of the tricky track, nevermind driven it. Harkening back to his references to happy endings, I reminded him that after driving with me last year he had enjoyed nothing but success.“That’s right . . . it’s all down to you,” he said with what I believed was a thoroughly genuine smile of appreci-ation.The end was nigh. Time flies when you are having fun: our hot lap and friendly chat took less than four minutes.Last Sunday, he enjoyed only his second podium finish of the year taking third place at the Montreal Grand Prix. You’re welcome, Seb. Same time next year, in the Eau Rouge?

Meaner, leaner Mustang The 2011 model year edition of the Ford Mustang, coupe and convertible, came with a more menacing frontal appearance and under the hood new engines produced more power with less fuel. So, you could also call it the “meaner and leaner” revamp.Appearance changes on the 2011 included new headlights and revised lower fascias, fenders and grille, plus a power-dome hood that allows ad-ditional air cooling to the Mustang’s new engines. At the back, new three-light LED lamps sequentially signal a turn, reminiscent of the muscle car years. The Mustang GT convertible models came with improved body rigidity with 12 per cent more lateral stiffness versus the previous year. In addition to newly strengthened structural mem-bers, under its hood you’ll also find a (race-style) tower-to-tower strut brace.Even the new base 3.7-litre V6 engine packs a punch as it can deliver 305 horsepower and can rev to 7000 rpm. Its rated city/highway fuel economy is an impressive 10.7/6.4 L/100km. And its power-to-weight ratio is almost double the previous base engine offering. Moving up a trim the Mustang GT has a 5.0-litre V8 under its hood. This en-gine is also a four-valve, all-aluminum engine, only this one is can pump-out 412 horsepower. And sounds great doing it! City/highway fuel consump-tion is rated at 11.8/7.9 L/100km and a larger (cast aluminum) oil pan also

extends oil change intervals.The GT also comes with electric pow-er-assist steering (EPAS), an upgraded braking system with vented discs all around and an enhanced suspension. GT buyers could also add a California Special appearance package and a Brembo brake and wheel package.A six-speed manual transmission was standard and automatic option was also a six-speed. This automatic has a grade-assist or “hill mode” feature that prevents sixth gear selection on a steep up-hill drive, plus engine braking going down a hill.There is another limited production edition of Mustang, the priciest and speediest pony of them all, the audacious Shelby GT500. Power comes from a supercharged 5.8-litre that can produce 650 horsepower and

it can also deliver over 600 ft-lb of tire-smoking torque. On the inside, a Mustang offers two-plus-two seating, which translates to limited leg and head room for the rear seat occupants. While Mustang’s trunk is not huge, it’s a little bigger and easier to access than the trunk in arch-rival Chevrolet Camaro. Both the coupe and the convertible editions of Mustang claim very good crash test safety ratings. Consumers Reports gives it “recommended buy” status and reliability has been average to better-than-average, with the V6 engine versions being slightly more dependable.The 2012 model year brought the re-introduction of a Boss 302 coupe edition, with a high-output 5.0-litre V8, plus a new premium trim level of the V6 edition. Selectable electric power-assisted steering, with comfort, sport and normal settings, also be-came standard on all models.The 2013 Mustang got lighting that is even more distinctive and some minor exterior tweaking. A new Select-Shift Automatic transmission with a manual shift feature was a significant mechanical upgrade and the six-speed manual gearbox also gained a hill start assist feature. An iconic American car, the Ford Mus-tang offers classic styling yet can also be a reliable and reasonably priced used sports car and a great driving experience.

Mon.-Sat. 8 am-6 pm Sunday 10 am-5 pm

Oak Bay rugby players Brennig Prevost, Bran-don Schellenberger, Brayden Tate and Jonah Hall gained some success at the Heidelberg Junior Inter-national Sevens, a competition featuring represen-tation from Europe, Africa and North America.

They are among a dozen players in the BC Elite Youth Sevens provincial rugby program that fin-ished fifth in a European competition that fea-tured sides from France, Netherlands, Monaco and Kenya. “Our players were pushed to another level and it was an important tour for them to be able to experience that,” said Shane Thompson, B.C. head coach. “The quarterfinals was where you could see the players realize they could play against the competition we were up against, and we only lost by two points.”

The U16s went 2-2 the first day of competition defeating German teams Bayern and NRJ, before falling to Dutch Academy side Zuid-West and French Academy reps AD-Alpes Maritimes.

B.C. advanced to the quarterfinals losing 19-17 to a French Academy side from the Toulon region. B.C. went on to defeat German reps LBW-Rugby 35-0 in the Plate semi-finals before downing French region Lorraine 29-5 in the final.

“We don’t always get to play top quality teams in North America, so this was a good test to see where our program is at,” added Thompson. “Our guys weren’t used to working that hard in all their matches and it’s great for them to test themselves.”

The players will now compete in the U16 age grade at the Victoria International Sevens. After the summer season, they will be eligible for the BC U17-U18 Sevens teams that travel to Las Vegas and Hong Kong in 2015. The Victoria International Sev-ens is scheduled for July 11-12 at UVic. The com-petition will feature age grade competitions begin-ning in U14 boys through U18 men and women.

In any industry, it’s natural for people who’ve been around for a long time to feel they have the edge on someone new to the business.

In real estate sales, the same sce-nario applies. But is it as simple as saying experience is everything? Perhaps not.

Technology has definitely changed the way Realtors do busi-ness, especially from the standpoint of forwarding information about new listings to potential buyers, or moving the appropriate paperwork back and forth between agents and legal professionals.

But some things haven’t changed, say Deborah and Roy Coburn, a hus-band and wife team who have been in the business for 26 and 24 years, respectively.

“We’re a person-to-person ser-vice,” Deborah says. “That’s always the way we’ve operated.”

While she admits most buyers today get their first glimpse of a home online, she says, it still comes down to working with clients in per-son to really get a handle on their real estate needs.

She cites three separate out-of-town client couples who found “the perfect home” online in Greater Vic-toria, only to arrive and discover in a showing that the property wasn’t at all what they had in mind or envi-sioned.

“In some ways, technology can only go so far,” she says.

While many listing agents send information on homes to buyer’s agents via email, Roy finds it help-ful to pick up the phone and call

his counterparts to chat about “the nuances of a home” that one might not pick up in a photo.

At the other end of the scale, Taylor McMullen, 24, is in his fifth month as an agent. He’s enjoyed some success already, partially due to building a new Internet market-ing program for himself and his father, longtime Victoria-area Real-tor Michael McMullen.

Taylor, who also speaks Manda-rin, has tapped into the Asian immi-grant market, largely through his online work.

In that respect, he views technol-ogy as something not to be feared, but to be embraced, a character-istic he says he shares with other younger professionals.

“I think the difference between (younger and older Realtors) is

we grew up in a period of change. Everything is changing so quickly and we’re easily able to adapt to change,” he says. “There’s still lots of risk-takers out there, but I’d say the average young person is more likely to take risks and change.”

While taking full advantage of technology to secure and work with clients can work well, McMullen admits it’s just one tool at his dis-posal.

But he admits much of his busi-ness has come from referrals, door knocking and cold calling: good old-fashioned personal contact.

“Real estate’s all about relation-ships. The majority of your business will come from referrals no matter how much marketing you do,” he says.

The Coburns couldn’t agree more.

Deborah chuckles at a fringe strat-egy making the rounds lately, that of giving home evaluations without setting foot on a person’s property.

Whether representing clients look-ing to buy or sell, agents’ respon-sibility is huge, she says, given the need to know everything about a house.

“When it comes down to it, it still requires a relationship with us.”

One thing agents of any age may find today more so than in past years, McMullen says, is that younger buy-ers tend to be less patient and more focused on saving money than being loyal.

“I find younger people are always chasing the better deal or the quick response (from a Realtor). You’ve got to be so quick with everything.”

BUYER’S TIP | A good Realtor can save you time and money; interview them early in your home search

There’s no substitute for personal contact Are you a self-

starter? – If you’re good at time management and

don’t mind doing a lot of legwork before getting paid, you may be right for

the profession.

Do you have enough savings to cover your learning curve? – It’s recommended that new agents have two years’ income put away when

they start in the business.

Do you like to learn? – The education process for Realtors is ongoing

and mandatory. Courses on a variety of topics are regularly offered by the

Early in June look for Mercury low in northwest sky over Langford after sunset.

Jupiter will be a little higher to the left. But by the end of June, Mercury is no longer visible and Jupiter will now be close to the horizon below the crescent moon.

It’s easy to spot Saturn and Mars when they pair up with the Moon. Looking Southwest over Port Angeles you will see Saturn then Mars to the right of the Moon.

At dawn, June 24, Venus is the bright object to the left of the Moon over Mount Baker.

Mark your calendar:• Free UVic astronomy class every Wednesday.

• June 24: Venus is in the east at dawn over

Mount Baker. • June 25-30: Royal Astronomical Society of Canada have centennial convention at UVic in Victoria. Welcome to all the delegates. Clear skies to you all. • June 28-29: at sunset, see Jupiter low in the western skies looking towards Japan. Jupiter is below the crescent Moon. This summary is from the transcript of What’s Up In June 2014 by NASA announcer and astronomer Jane Houston Jones.

For more information on each event, NASA video and a sky map go to cattlepointstarpark.org

Clear Skies to all our readers.- Bill Smith, volunteer at Cattle Point Dark Sky
