39th Elders Gathering King and Queen, Doug and Kathy LaFortune, look out over Saanichton Bay. Close to 2,000 aboriginal elders from B.C., Washington State and beyond, plus their families and care givers, are expected at the event in July.

Saanich Peninsula’s First Nations com-munities are getting ready to welcome thousands of elders from across B.C., Washington State and Alberta in the 39th annual Elders Gathering.

They expect around 2,000 elders to come to the Peninsula, together with many members of their families and caregivers. It’s estimated that there could be as many as 5,000 people coming to the area for the July 7-9 Elders Gathering.

Preparing the way for them is a huge undertaking — a challenge happily

accepted by the Tsawout First Nation and a committee of volunteers and leaders from all four aboriginal communities on the Saanich Peninsula.

It’s mainly a social gathering, says Mavis Underwood, but there’s more to it.

One might be forgiven if the whole story sounds all too familiar.

On the one side stands the Capital Regional District (CRD), trying to develop a new man-agement plan for the Island View Beach Regional Park. The existing plan dates back to 1989 and the CRD maintains that substan-tial changes in the park boundaries and use patterns have necessitated the update. The new plan, according to the CRD, will present “the vision, goals, direction statements and management objectives and actions for envi-ronmental conservation, cultural heritage management, visitor experience and parks operations and development.”

On the other side there is a small but dedi-cated and highly persistent group of area residents and other park users dubbed The Friends of Island View Beach (FOIVB). Their stated goal is to ensure any new park plan takes into account the actual needs and wishes of park users.

The Friends are suspicious of the CRD, citing past failures to adequately maintain ditches (which at various times led to mos-quito infestations) and pointing to what they call deliberate misstatements and serious flaws in the CRD’s consultation processes.

It’s a battle that last came to a head in 2013 when the CRD responded to critics and was moved to withdraw a draft management plan for the park and return for further study and public consultation.

Now the CRD is back with a new approach in 2015.

Gary Holman supported the referenda on electoral reform in 2005 and again in 2009.

Today, Holman is the NDP’s critic for democratic reform and the party’s offi-cial spokesperson on the issue. He’s also the MLA for Saanich North and the Islands and will lead two public meet-ings in February to kick start prov-ince-wide information gathering.

Holman says he has always sup-ported changes to the province’s democratic process — whether that be in the form of a Single Transferra-ble Vote (STV) or Mixed-Member Pro-portional (MMP) representation. STV was floated by the Gordon Campbell Liberal government in 2005, garner-ing 58 per cent support in a referen-dum. At the time, the threshold for success was 60 per cent.

“To his credit, Campbell said since the result was so close, they would do it again and held a second refer-endum in 2009,” Holman said.

That vote failed and the issue has been on the sidelines since. Yet it has been revived within the NDP.

Holman said with leader John Horgan’s public commitment to democratic reform, it has put into motion a province-wide review by the party. Holman is lead-ing that process and said it’s in the early stages, focusing on feedback and ideas from the public.

To that end, he is holding two meetings, Feb. 3 at Sidney’s Mary Winspear Centre and Feb. 5 at the Central Saanich Senior Citizens Asso-ciation in Brentwood Bay. Both start at 6:30 p.m.

Holman has invited represen-tatives from Fair Vote Canada and Fair Voting B.C. They will be able to answer more of the detailed ques-tions and discuss their advocacy for change.

Holman admits pursuing any change in how people are elected in B.C. doesn’t necessarily work in favour of his party. Yet, he said he feels getting beyond the current first-part-the-post electoral system will help increase voter turnout and engagement in government.

“Right now, the current system can result in a winner take all situation,” he said. “Other votes then seem to voters like they were wasted. For

example, in the last elec-tion anyone who voted for (a party) other than the Liberals might see their views not represented at all in the legislature.”

Holman likes the idea of Mixed-Member Propor-tional representation and talked at length about it. MMP, he said, would allow people to vote for an indi-vidual, with secondary vot-

ing being applied to runners-up in each electoral area. In Saanich North and the Islands, for instance, Holman said the race was so close that under MMP, two of the three candidates could have been elected.

“Voting change is not necessar-ily in the interest of the NDP or the larger parties. A different system could bring representation from other parties, like the Greens or Con-servatives.”

That, he said, could lead to better co-operation and even the necessity of forming coalition governments. Holman said he enjoys his commit-tee work, which sees Liberals and the NDP work together without the rancor of public debates. This, he

continued, could be the ideal outcome of democratic reform.

Yet, the devil is in the details and those are years away, Hol-man said, admitting his rosy view of elec-tion change is still only a dream.

Right now, his party wants to hear from British Columbians on the sub-ject. Holman added while his party is backing the effort, he wants it to be as non-partisan as possible.

“At this time, it’s back to basics,” he said. “We’re committed to not just looking into it, but to putting to the voters.”

Should the NDP form the next gov-ernment in 2017, Holman explained, they would put the issue of election reform to the citizens in a referen-dum. That could give them enough time to change the system for the election in 2021.

When asked why the NDP is pur-suing this now, Holman said it’s because the party’s leadership has made it a priority and, more person-ally, democratic reform could help shape a more co-operative govern-ment that is better able to represent the views of its electorate.

“Right now, the current system can result in a winner take all situation.”

As urbanization takes shape around the Victoria International Airport, one of its ten-ants is acutely aware of potential clashes between themselves and their neighbours.

It’s not a simple mat-ter of who was there first — even though in one form or another 443 Squadron has been around since the 1940s and the airport has been home to military units — but a realiza-tion that things change.

The Saanich Penin-sula Chamber of Com-merce’s first stop on its sixth annual Tour of Industry was to 443 Maritime Helicopter Squadron. They have been at the airport since the Second World War, although they weren’t always a heli-copter squadron.

Lt.-Col. Patrick McNa-mara, commander of 443 MHS, outlined some of the squadron’s history — from when pilots flew fixed wing fighters, to its re-estab-lishment after the war in New Westminster and its change to heli-copters in the 1970s. The squadron came to the airport in 1989 and was renamed in 1995.

In 2015, the squad-ron is home to 193 regular force soldiers, 51 reservists and one civilian worker. McNa-mara said by 2018, they expect to grow to 303 personnel. At the moment, however, the squadron pays $14.5 million in wages each year — which could jump to $23 million by 2018.

The jump in wages and people, he contin-ued, will coincide with growth of the unit over the next four years. They are expected to replace their 51-year-old Sea King helicop-ters with the new CH148 Cyclone.

Nine replacement helicopters will be housed in the $105-mil-

lion hangar and head-quarters building recently built on the west side of the airport.

It’s a giant facil-ity, replacing all other buildings the squad-ron had been using. Their old administra-tion building is coming down this month and they will eventually transition out of their old hangar into the new, 211,704 square-foot building next door.

The new hangar used 2,695 tonnes of steel, 36,490 bolts and 1,350 steel pilings that took workers 13 months to drive into the bedrock. As a result, the facility is as earthquake proof as they could make it.

The arrival of the new helicopters sig-nals big change for the squadron — and poten-tial new impacts on their neighbours.

Noise generated by their current aircraft

fleet is a near-constant source of public com-plaints and McNamara acknowledged the con-flicts.

“It’s an issue we share with other operators at the airport,” said Major Dale Arndt, Operations

Manager. “It’s not just us. But our operations generally lead to noise complaints and we seem to be a particular target because we are easily identifiable.”

That, and the fact their training in the

summer months — especially at night — conflicts with some people’s enjoyment of the outdoors.

Arndt said they try to limit night flying to avoid weekends, when most people are out-

side longer.“We cannot always

project what evenings we will be flying, how-ever,” he continued, “but it’s something that we need to do.”

Asked if the new choppers will be noisier than the Sea Kings, Arndt pointed out they are heavier and larger — around 10,000 pounds heavier — and could mean the Cyclone will be noisier as a result.

“Its impact is yet to be seen, still there will be a noise and opera-tional impact pre-sented by the new heli-copters.”

New homes are con-stantly going up around the airport, which was once surrounded only by fields. This urban-ization around them means the squadron has to be aware of its impact, while balancing its operational require-

ments for the Canadian Forces.

“We are one of the busiest aircraft fleets in the Canadian Forces,” Arndt said.

Relocation is cur-rently not an option, Arndt pointed out, saying they need to be at an airport with crash and fire protec-tion services. As well, they are close to Cana-dian Forces Base Esqui-malt, giving them easy access to the Pacific Fleet Royal Canadian Navy ships with which they work closely.

While the majority of their time is spent training their flight crews, 443 MHS is often deployed overseas and has seen service in many conflicts around the world — the Medi-terranean Sea, East Africa and the Gulf of Oman, to name a few.

“There is never a slow day around here,” he said.

Like their business counterparts in the surrounding industrial area, 443 MHS shares issues like housing con-cerns.

Arndt said more than half of their members commute at least 16 kilometres, one-way, to work each day. Find-ing affordable hous-ing is something they share with employees in other industries.

“Housing prices alone, that’s a big con-sideration,” Arndt said.

The Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce’s annual Tour of Industry has become a networking and lobbying event that draws local and regional politicians and business leaders.

On Jan. 23, the sixth annual tour brought a capacity group to both established and brand new companies that are adding to the robust business atmosphere of the Saanich Peninsula. Based in Sidney, North Saanich and Central Saanich, these businesses have either grown through the years or are up-and-comers.

Chamber President Ian Brown says the tour is also a way for own-ers to address issues they face and potential barriers to their suc-cess. With plenty of local leaders on board the bus, they are a captive audience and hear first-hand challenges such as affordable housing for workers, transportation and taxes.

“Business recognizes they have to pay (taxes),” Brown said, “and that we are a tax collector of (municipalities). But what business wants is a return on those taxes, clarity, standards of service delivery and even consideration.”

Brown added this year’s tour, organized by Executive Director Denny Warner, had the best turnout ever, adding local industry is pleased with the opportunity it provides for having their voices heard. — Steven Heywood/News staff

“The event is a way for elders and their families to reunite with others they haven’t seen for a long time,” Underwood says.

And some may never see family again, she notes, as their age may preclude another meet-ing. And while the Gath-ering will focus mostly on socialization, Under-wood says there are more serious aspects.

“For some, it can be about healing and recovery between the generations. It’s a

chance to share the strengths of the elders, a way to pass on their knowledge to another generation.”

Underwood, from Tsawout, is one of the main organizers and has taken on a lead role for the community. Her own mother, 86-year-old Geraldine Under-wood, is an elder and the oldest in her com-munity. The area’s old-est elder, she notes, is 95-year-old Bea Elliott of the Tsartlip nation. In all, there are around 120 elders in the Tsawout, Tsartlip, Pauquatchin

and Tseycum aborigi-nal communities.

“There’s a big social aspect to an Elders Gathering,” says Under-wood.

Organizer Perry LaFortune, who made the successful bid in 2013 to bring the Elders Gathering to the Peninsula, adds

there’s always a politi-cal aspect to the event — from health care and recognition of wartime service, to the overall social justice move-ment within Canada’s aboriginal community.

“It’s not supposed to be political,” adds Underwood, “but social change is always a part

of our lives.”A variety of work-

shops will be on offer during the Gathering — discussing languages, story-telling and more. LaFortune notes there will also be a lot of out-ings planned, from trips up-Island to whale-watching tours.

“For a lot of people,

this will be the first or only time they’ll be on the Island,” he said. “We expect some will come before and stay longer after.”

Having seen the 38th Elders Gathering, hosted by the Pentic-ton Indian Band, the organizers know what people are in for — and how much work it’s going to be to get ready over the next five months.

Helping reach out to local elders, poten-tial sponsors and other partners will be Doug and Kathy LaFortune — the King and Queen of the 39th Elders Gath-ering.

Doug says the Coast Salish tradition never saw kings and queens, calling the roles more ambassadors than roy-alty.

“There’s a saying among North Ameri-can aboriginals,” Doug says, “that when people are travelling, you don’t ask if they’re hungry, you just feed them.”

That’s the spirit behind the Elders Gath-ering, which will feature an elders feast on July 7 and a grand entry celebration on July 8. It all takes place in the tennis facility at Pan-orama Recreation Cen-tre — one of the only places big enough to host such a large group of people.

“Our main goal is for this to be a social event that we hope they will not forget for a long time,” says Perry.

To that end, the orga-nizers are reaching out to the business com-munity, seeking spon-sorships to help make the event a success.

Every little bit helps, adds Underwood, including the $91 they raised in a spontane-ous gesture in a local elders’ meeting.

Tonight (Jan. 30) there will be a loonie-toonie fundraiser at the Tsawout First Nation band office. It runs from noon to 6 p.m. and beyond — a meal starts at 6 with prize draws to follow.

Another loonie-toonie event is set for Feb. 27 at the same place and time, says Underwood.

Organizers of the 39th Elders Gathering on the Saanich Penin-sula have a lot of work yet to do but they’re staying positive and hope that energy lasts throughout this sum-mer’s big event.

He took a pay cut to go from the tranquil groves of academe to the bare-knuckle brawl of B.C. politics, but Andrew Weaver says he’s ready to lead the B.C. Green Party into the next election.

The first-term Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA told reporters at the legislature he made up his mind over the Christmas holidays to carry on with his political career. Weaver said he will stand for the leadership of the party as it tries to con-solidate its Vancouver Island foothold of one provincial and one fed-eral seat, held by fed-eral Green Party leader Elizabeth May.

He said that leader-ship vote likely won’t be until 2016, to pre-pare for the next B.C. election in 2017.

A mathematician specializing in climate models, Weaver took political leave from the faculty of the Univer-sity of Victoria to run in the 2013 election, and defeated former B.C.

Liberal cabinet minis-ter Ida Chong. He went from a $180,000 job at UVic to $101,000 as an MLA.

Weaver declined to seek the leadership after winning the par-

ty’s first-ever B.C. seat, and the party appointed Saanich North and the Islands candidate Adam Olsen as interim leader instead. Olsen has indicated he will run again in the seat

where he came close in 2013, with voters who supported May in the last federal election.

Despite the marginal

role given indepen-dent MLAs, Weaver has made an impression on the government and the opposition NDP.

Premier Christy Clark has taken to praising his ideas, saying Weav-er’s suggestions are refreshing.

Campsite fees are going up between $2 and $5 at provincial parks around B.C. this spring.

After March 15, a night under the stars at Golden Ears or Gor-don Bay or Goldstream Provincial Park goes from $30 to $35 per night, while many more remote campsites will see a smaller increase in fees.

Fees at 40 provincial

campgrounds in the Kootenay-Okanagan, Northern, South Coast and West Coast regions are increasing at least $3 a night, and 141 of B.C.’s 204 provincial campgrounds will see a $2 increase.

The Ministry of Envi-ronment says this is the first province-wide increase in fees since 2010. Rates for back-country camping and use of sani-stations remain at $5, and fees for mooring buoys, picnic shelters and

group camping are unchanged. Parking fees for day-use lots are not being reintroduced.

The ministry says the increases take into account demand and economic conditions.

The province col-lected about $17 mil-lion from its park and recreation fees last year, while spending $22 million on direct park operating costs.

YOUR VIEW

The Prime Minister has done the unforgivable! His government has put our limited military on the front lines and put every Canadian at risk of homegrown attacks.

Why did Stephen Harper and his followers approve this level of combat without any other country standing shoulder to shoulder with our military on the front lines?

When did he decide that our citi-zens were disposable? What pur-pose does this serve to Canada? How far is his government willing to go to change our role in the world as a peaceful nation to militia? Where is the United States, England, France and other countries and why are Canadian soldiers the only ones on the front lines?

This government has taken their practice of doing a 180 to a new level. It is one thing to transfer responsibility for our homeless, mentally ill, people living in prop-erty onto Canadians and non-profit organizations, these people are not facing gunfire and terrorist attacks.

This 180 the Harper Conserva-tives have exercised should be a wake-up call just how far the Con-servatives will take their power with a majority government. They expect these men and women to put their lives on the line and when they return home horrifically dam-aged from war — they have to take this Government to court for health and disability pensions.

Yesterday it was reported mil-lions of dollars were spent on high ranking military officials for mov-ing expenses, in some cases, sev-eral times in a year and only a few blocks from one home to the next.

Canadians are witnessing the abuse of power when a party has

the majority and is re-elected time and time again. Unfortunately, the young people stepping into jobs as so-called experts in their field, only know Conservatism. For this reason alone we need to elect another gov-ernment in Canada.

B.C. not blameless on Columbia River Treaty

Re: U.S. ripping us off on water (B.C. Views, Jan. 7).

I am a scholar of Columbia River Treaty history and live in the region where all the losses occurred. My own upcoming book about the

treaty, A River Captured, represents a decade of research and travel across the Columbia Basin on both sides of the boundary. This is a big, complex story that deserves lots of attention.

One thing I’ve learned over the years is that the U.S. was not necessarily the Big Bad Wolf we would like to make them out to be.

In fact, the U.S. formally asked Canada in the 1930s if this country had an interest in those salmon that would be blocked and it was Canada that said no. Had Canada’s response been different, we might have gotten that fish ladder and saved our unique salmon runs.

There was considerabe controversy over the treaty between its signing in 1961 and its ratification by Canada in 1964. During that time, the agreement was on the edge of being tossed out, with Prime Minister Lester Pearson actively promoting the negotiation of a new treaty in 1963.

The U.S., as a result of their own shifting water policies, would have very likely cooperated with changing or scrapping that treaty. It was Canada’s federal bureaucrats who went into high gear to justify what had been signed and make sure it went through.

There is no question in my mind that Canada and B.C.’s government agencies played a very significant role in making the mess we got in 1964.

Feds have taken doing a 180 to a new level

Find common groundW

hen you use statistics and numbers to back up an argument, it exposes said debate to interpretation by another party.

That seems to be what has happened to the Capital Regional District as it starts to sell its proposed management plan for Island View Park.

Oddly, the CRD might have learned that lesson from its aborted attempt at a park plan in 2013 and come better prepared to defend their latest version.

This year, they are facing the exact same opposition, as a group called The Friends of Island View Park resurrect their critique of CRD officials and pick apart the latest plans for the area.

It’s likely, then that whatever information the CRD comes up with or revises through its public input process this month and next,

someone will always oppose it.The reason is fear of change.It’s a simple explanation and could easily be

decried by people who can’t admit that’s at the root of their opposition. But when they call for a plan to weigh heavily on the side of local residents, you can bet the park won’t be changing all that much.

Of course said plans must take people’s concerns into consideration, but should be balanced with protection of the ecosystem — and it has been said that Island view Park is home to some very rare dunes and wildlife. Preserving it should be uppermost in any plan.

The CRD is not in an enviable position. People have used the park for years — both for recreation and for agriculture and more. There’s also a general expectation by property owners that when they buy their homes, the land around them won’t ever change. As local governments know, however, that just isn’t the case and no one can buy a view.

We hope the CRD and park users can reach some sort of consensus on Island View Park and how public use and the ecosystem can co-exist without one side tromping all over the other.

Getting to that point means both must sharpen their pencils and determine where they share common ground.

Central Saanich’s Parks and Recreation Committee had a spot of refereeing to do last Monday between rep-resentatives from the CRD and the Friends of Island View Beach.

The CRD’s effort to develop a new manage-ment plan for Island View Beach Regional Park has been a con-tentious issue for years, and it looked as though the fight was still going strong.

Mike Walton, senior manager for CRD Regional Parks, pre-sented information describing its four-step public participation process, detailing in particular the first step, currently underway,

that includes dissemi-nating “factual techni-cal and scientific infor-mation about the natu-ral environment found in the park.”

Mere seconds after Walton finished, several members of the Friends of Island View Beach took the microphone to point out inaccuracies.

The Friends claim there were egregious errors in reporting the species-at-risk in the park, the width of ditches and mislabelled and mis-dated photos

used to illustrate points in the presentation.

Additionally, mem-bers stressed any park management plan would need to address climate change, or the whole thing is for naught.

Some issues raised were more logistical than factual; Councillor Alicia Cormier asked if the last stage of the CRD’s consultation pro-cess could take place in the fall, rather than summer when many people are away; and

Coun. Zeb King wanted to ensure those who may have to leave early in two upcoming infor-mational sessions have ample access to the feedback forms.

Walton readily responded to the con-cerns by saying the CRD is open to receiv-ing more information from the public.

“This is a public pro-cess and we’re open to these opportunities (for input). We’re here to listen,” said Walton.

Wayne Watkins, who

served as the chair of the parks committee in 1989 and whose signa-ture is on the current park management plan, demanded council investigate the validity of the CRD’s facts.

Coun. Carl Jensen then moved to ask the CRD to confirm the validity of its informa-tion and provide ref-erences, with Mayor Ryan Windsor add-ing an amendment

to require the CRD to utilize an independent third party if it was not able to confirm its own data.

The motion passed, with only Coun. Chris Graham opposed, say-ing, “The last thing we need to do is ask the CRD for more studies.”

At this point, public hearings on Jan. 29 at the Leonardo Da Vinci Centre, and Feb. 5 at the Saanich Fairground

main hall are scheduled to go ahead as planned. The meetings run from 6 to 9 p.m.

Public input through the CRD’s response form must be received by midnight, Feb. 15, 2015.

If their reception at the Jan. 26 meeting of Central Saanich’s Parks and Recreation Committee is any indication, they have a tough time ahead. (See related story on this page)

That presentation was followed by a delegation from the Friends of Island View Beach, claiming there were serious misstatements within the CRD’s presentation.

“They (the CRD) have known since January 14 that we had seri-ous concerns about the material they had posted on their website,” said Jason Austin, a spokesperson for FOIVB, “We sent two e-mails to staff on the 14th and another to CRD directors on January 19, begging them to check their facts before proceeding but they just ignored us.”

The Friends also voiced their concerns at the Jan. 21 meeting of the CRD’s Regional Parks Com-mittee.

“We were allotted four minutes to state our case, but they basi-cally ignored us ... questioning our expertise,” said Austin.

According to Mike Walton, the CRD’s Senior Manager for Regional Parks, there is no intent to provide false information and no hidden agenda driving the current pro-cess.

“I’m confident in the informa-tion that we have ... our intent at this point is to simply share the

information on what the science is telling us,” he said. “We have a four step process that is going to invite a lot of public input and we expect a robust conversation around these points.”

When asked about demonstra-bly inaccurate information within the CRD presentation (for exam-ple they list the average width of the ditches in the park as three

times their actual width and have changed the dates on some archi-val photographs) Walton said that the public process would catch and correct any actual mistakes in the information.

“I’m not prepared to say that this is a mea culpa situation yet,” said Walton. “If we’ve made mis-takes, we’ll own up to them after the public input is complete.”

“It’s all very frustrating,” said Dr. Barbara Powell, another mem-ber of the Friends of Island View Beach.

“If you look at their so-called factual and scientific information, they list 33 species at risk within the park. But 11 of those are migra-tory marine birds that may stop off on the waters near the park but do not live or breed there. Several

other species that they list may be endangered in general, but are thriving within the park under the current conditions.”

Powell said that she has little faith in the management plan pro-cess.

Central Saanich Mayor, Ryan Windsor, is a little more critical of the problems within the CRD’s information.

“As long as this is an issue for our community’s residents, this is going to be an important issue for council,” he said. “We have to hold the CRD accountable for what they present ... ensure that they’ve done their due diligence. We certainly don’t want a repeti-tion of the mistakes of the past. It’s a new day. Let’s make sure we stay on track.”

As for the Friends of Island View Beach, they intend to stay their own course to protect the park and its users from change that isn’t what those users want, they say, and not what the park needs.

“It sometimes feels as though they (the CRD) are trying to wear us down through sheer fatigue,” said Austin. “But we love this park and we’re not going away.”

The next step in the CRD’s pro-cess is a series of public meetings to be held in Victoria and at the Saanich fairground. Details can be found at crd.bc.ca. Information about the Friends of Island View Beach can be found at www.friend-sofislandviewbeach.com.

Central Saanich asks CRD to confirm its park data


The District of North Saanich advises residents that �ushing of watermains will commence February 2 and continue until May 31, 2015. Watermain �ushing occurs annually throughout the District to remove sediment and maintain satisfactory water quality within the distribution system.

Temporary water discolouration and/or low water pressure may occur as a result of this activity. This water discolouration is not a health hazard and may require you to clear your water lines by turning on your cold water tap until the water runs clear.

Upon request, the District will provide advance warning of �ushing in your vicinity for persons with special requirements for water clarity. Please contact the Public Works department at 250-655-5480 if you require advance noti�cation.

The District does not accept responsibility for damages caused by low water volume or the use of discoloured water. We therefore advise consumers to be on the alert for reduced water volume and/or temporary discolouration of water.

Ron Maylen, Works Superintendent

District of North Saanich

• Sidney coun-cil offered their well wishes and thanks to Staff Sergeant Den-nis O’Goreman of the Sidney North Saanich RCMP. O’Goreman is transferring out of Sid-ney after six years to become an Advisory NCO at Island District RCMP in Victoria. He will be replaced offi-cially on Feb. 16 by S/Sgt. Anna Marie Mal-

lard (not Millard, as reported Jan. 28).

• The Town of Sidney will officially launch its new website soon. Council gave the go-ahead for the launch, well after the new site’s soft open-ing in December. The

site, sidney.ca, is a complete redesign, with additional search features. Staff reported the project, when completed, was signif-icantly under budget.

• Council voted to ask the Capital Regional District (CRD) to co-ordinate detailed wave impact mapping of the region and that each municipality pay a share of the analysis. The move stems from recent CRD presen-

tations on proposed changes to the prov-ince’s Flood Hazard Area Land Use Man-agement and Guide-lines.

• The municipality and strata residents at Turnbull Close have formalized a water main service agree-ment. The agreement lays out the liabilities involved in taking on maintenance of the service. Acting Mayor Peter Wainwright pointed out this is a formalizing of the sta-tus quo — Sidney has performed mainte-nance on an informal basis in the past.

• The route of the Bazan Bay 5K running race was accepted by council. Team West Coast Running and Triathlon Club will host the annual event, whose route runs along Lochside Drive from Tulista Park in Sidney to Cy Hamp-son Park in North Saa-nich, and back. The race takes place Sun-day, March 8.

• Next meeting: Committee of the whole — Monday, Feb. 2, 6 p.m. Regu-lar council — Tuesday Feb. 10, 7 p.m.


Sidney’s event liaison is get-ting a three-year extension and a raise for a job well done.

Jointly funded by the Town of Sidney and Sidney Business Improvement Area Society (SBIAS), the event liaison was created a year ago, not long after the SBIAS was formed to help boost the fortunes of downtown business. Both parties signed a memorandum of understand-ing (MOU) to guide the mandate and expectations for the shared position. On Monday, Jan. 26, Susan Simosko of the SBIAS peti-tioned the municipality for the extension of the MOU, asking for an added $5,000 in 2015.

Simosko says the event liai-son, Donna Petrie, has exceeded expectations. That has been reflected in increased event sponsorships, more participants in local events and increas-ing Sidney’s profile in local and other media. Most recently, Simosko said Petrie facilitated an agreement with radio station Ocean 98.5 to promote Sidney events.

“This is a deal that is worth a lot and costs the town, the SBIA and Sidney Events Advisory Group nothing,” she said.

The latter group was also formed at the same time as the SBIAS. It’s comprised of repre-sentatives of local venues, busi-nesses and attractions. The events liaison works with them to prioritize events, co-ordinate

them so there are fewer clashes and respond to feedback and advice. It’s a big job, said Simosko, one that Petrie has handled well.

Simosko said the three-year MOU extension will create conti-nuity in the service provided by the events liaison and build on current successes.

Councillors approved the request to extent the MOU, adding $5,000 to the remunera-tion for the position this year. Increases of 2.5 per cent in 2016 and ‘17 are also part of the new deal.

Staff reported to council that the extra funding — taking the Town’s share from $20,000 per year to $25,000 in 2015 — would come from the Town’s economic development fund, set to grow to $100,000 this year. Future bud-gets would have to be adjusted in subsequent years to main-tain the initial and percentage increases.

The SBIAS’ share in the posi-tion represents 22 per cent of its overall budget. They collect $250,000 each year in the form of a downtown business [email protected]

Concepts in Quebec: Canadian auto show season gets underwayMontreal, Quebec – Le Salon Interna-tional de l’Auto de Montreal heralds the opening of the Canadian auto show season, right on the heels of the “Big One “in Motor City (aka Detroit).This year, yours truly attended the pre-views for both auto extravaganzas and found optimism abounds in the industry, north and south of the border.As reported last week from Michigan, the Daddy of all Auto Shows showed a lot of high-end cars and new full size trucks. Montreal has a regional flavour with more exhibits that reflect that market’s taste for smaller cars. The latter clearly influenced the decision to unveil the new subcompact Mazda2 here; a select group got the opportunity to get up close and personal with the machine in an artist’s gallery across town. The next day, the all-new CX-3, updated Mazda6 and CX-5 joined it on the show stand. The new Mazda2 was coloured in what I call show-off red and showed off its so-called KODO – Soul of Motion – design style to its best. I first saw this handsome style, which gives the impression that the vehicle is moving even when stationary, at the Mazda6 launch in Paris a few years ago. Translating it into a smaller car is not just a matter of shrinking the original but requires great design skill and clearly, Mazda has that in abundance.In Canada, a 1.5-litre SKYACTIV-G gasoline engine will power the Mazda2, and a choice of two transmissions will be available – a six-speed manual and a six-speed

auto. Prices will be fixed closer to launch, later this year, but expect it to be compa-rable to the current model and come in below $15,000.While there were plenty of econo cars on show, like Detroit, other than the Mazda2 there was nothing new to see in that range. Green cars were in evidence in Montreal but when the shows reach the west, you can expect to see many more cars for the eco-conscious drivers.

Four concept cars did turn heads…

Cadillac ElmirajYou won’t see one on the road but the long two-door grand coupe concept will influence the near-future design of the next line of Cadillacs. The Elmiraj features a 4.5-litre twin turbocharged V8 deliv-ering an estimated 500 hp. The engine takes the baseline technology from the Cadillac Twin Turbo V6 and expands it to

the classic performance format of a V8 engine.

Hyundai IntradoThe same can be said of the thinking behind the Hyundai Intrado, which is a concept crossover designed to foreshadow a change design direction for the Korean manufacturer. It looks a little bit like an oversized Juke, the quirky Nissan product loved and hated seemingly in equal measure. The Intrado seems a bit more lovable and passersby indicated a similar looking production would in find favour among many.

The concept features a hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain linked to a 36 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that Hyund-ai boasts will provide a range of 600 kilometres. By the way, British Columbians will soon be able to lease a Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell, with a similar power-train and a reported range of 425 kms.

Subaru VIZIV2The Subaru concept crossover utility hybrid shown is a four-door version of a previously revealed two-door. Get this: Subaru says its “athletic, rugged shape of the sides seem designed in the image of a muscular NHL defenceman, and the fenders flare in a sturdy style.” Ahem.Looks like it came out of the Nissan/Infiniti design studios, and that’s not a criticism.

Toyota FT1Toyota was all about the roar of the engines in Montre-al, which certainly pleased the gathered Quebec auto journos, who to a man/woman always appear to be race crazy to me (Given the market reality in Quebec, that doesn’t appear to be reflected in car buyer choices). Nevertheless, most would surely enjoy the sleek lines of the Toyota FT-1, designed to be at home on the track and a heck of a ticket magnet on the highway. Up next is the Toronto Show, which takes the name The Canadian International Auto Show. Bite your lip, Morgan. The Calgary show follows, then the new-look, re-imagined Vancouver International Auto Show debuts March 24-29.

It’s the Cadillac of station wagons

7x 7

saunders

By Bob McHugh

The CTS Sport Wagon (2010 – 2013) was the first in-house full production wagon (based on a sedan) made by Cadillac. The CTS has clean, crisp, edgy styling that is distinctively modern Cadillac. The sedan edition of the highly successful rear-drive CTS was introduced for the 2003 model year and captured numer-ous awards. Its high-powered V variant, which followed in 2004, embarrassed Euro competitors of the day by smashing the production car lap speed record at the revered Nurburgring, in Germany. These days, wagons are less popular here than in Europe, so the available local used car market pool, for this edi-tion of the CTS, is not a very deep one. North Americans tend to buy utility type vehicles instead of a wagon. A wagon is typically closer to a sedan in terms of driving dynamics, yet has more than double the cargo capability. A CTS Sport Wagon is a little taller and heavier than the sedan, it offers 736 li-tres of storage space with the rear seats up, and 1,642 litres with them folded. There’s also a clever sub-floor cargo management system and the rear door is power-operated. The base engine is a 3.0-litre (255 horse-power) V6 that’s mated to six-speed au-tomatic transmission. The other engine is a 24-valve, 3.6 litre, direct injection (304 horsepower) V6, that provides more

torque at lower engine speeds, yet fuel economy is about the same. Using the newly revised rating method, consump-tion should be about 12.8/8.6 L/100 km (city/highway).The CTS can also come with an all-wheel drive system that normally splits torque 30/70 front-to-rear, to maintain its sporty (rear-drive) driving dynamic. It’s capable of delivering up to100 per cent of torque to either axle if needed, but there is a small increase fuel consump-tion.An interesting adaptive forward lighting system was included in an option pack-age that came with Xenon headlights. This system automatically adjusts head-light direction for improved visibility at night. It can also turn the headlights up to 15 degrees inboard and 5 degrees outboard, providing better vision while cornering.The big news for 2011 model year was the addition of a, limited edition, high-performance CTS-V Sport Wagon model. Like the V sedan it’s powered by a 556-horsepower supercharged V8 engine and came with 6-speed man-ual transmission or optional 6-speed automatic. You’ll likely pay a $20,000 premium (maybe more) to acquire a (hard to find) used CTS-V Wagon.The 2012 edition of the CTS Sport Wag-on came with a new 3.6-litre V6 engine that is more powerful (318-horsepower) yet lighter than the 3.6-litre engine it

replaced. It also came with a new grille, standard Bluetooth and a new option package that made it look like a V Wagon. No significant changes followed for 2013 and it was the last production year of this generation of the CTS.Although it can be harder to find in the used car market, Sport Wagon adds a handy utility bonus, without destroying the scintillating driving experience that is Cadillac CTS.

Price Check: 2010 - 2013 Cadillac CTS (January 2015)Year Edition Expect to Pay Today2010 Sport Wagon $17,000 to $21,0002011 Sport Wagon $21,000 to $25,0002012 Sport Wagon $25,000 to $29,0002013 Sport Wagon $30,000 to $35,000 Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s condition, mileage, usage and history. A complete mechanical check should always be performed by a reli-able auto technician prior to purchase.

Safety Recalls: 2010 to 2013 Cadillac CTS:2003 to 2014: Some drivers may bump the ignition key with their knee and unintentionally move the key from out of the "run" position. A subsequent loss of engine power would unexpect-edly increase steering and brake pedal effort, and airbags may not deploy in

a collision. Dealers will remove the key blade from the original flip key/transmit-ter assemblies provided with the vehicle, and provide two new keys and two key rings for every original key. 2009/2010 - A wax coating applied to rear suspension toe link jam nuts may allow them to loosen. This causes a me-tallic clanking noise from the rear of the vehicle and the toe link could eventually separate. Dealers will clean, install two new jam nuts and, if required, the rear suspension toe link will be replaced.2011: A loss of grease from the centre constant velocity (CV) joint, on all-wheel-drive editions, can result in

vibrations of the propeller shaft. These vibrations may be transferred to a rollover sensor, located on the floor above it, and cause an unwarranted deployment of the side curtain airbags. Dealers will replace the rear propeller shaft assembly.2012 - The brake booster pushrod retention nut may not have received adequate tightening torque during vehicle assembly and could separate from the brake pedal assembly. Dealers will inspect the pushrod retention nut and, if necessary, torque the nut to specification.

FULL-TIME ALL-WHEEL DRIVE. BECAUSE YOU NEVER WANTOCCASIONAL TRACTION.

YOUR HEALTHPresident’s own story: 15 years ago I started to have arthritis, prostate, kidney, snoringand sleep apnea problems, which were all helped quickly with natural health products. I

made it my life’s purpose to help others. Nick A. Jerch

Pain free in 2 weeks. This is what happened to me personally. I tried drugs, acupuncture,magnets and many other methods. Finally after taking a specially processed shark cartilage Iwas pain free in 2 weeks. It gave me the idea that I could help thousands of the 5 million menand women suffering daily in Canada with the worst pain on earth to have less pain or no painat all. Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle.<For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage #1 spared me the endlesstorture I suffered day and night with 3 bottles costing less than $100. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater,ON. <Cancelled knee replacement. 1 was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now.Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK. <At first I wasskeptical. I gradually noticed an improvement. Then I took another brand. I was surprisedhaving so much pain again. Eventually I realized that I needed to re-order Bell. Found reliefagain. Marie Ciraulo, 72, Oakland, CA. <Many people on our website write: “Can walkagain for hours”;”Can climb stairs without hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15 years can

sleep at night” Rheumatoid arthritis in joints down 90%, same for my sister…Also guaranteed for sciatica. Hundredsof testimonials all with full names and towns. Shark bones/cartilage was a previously thrown away by-product of the foodindustry. No sharks are caught for their cartilage. Don’t let any activist confuse you.

Sidney Lions Food Bank heading into notoriously ‘lean’ monthsAngela Cowan News Staff

It all started with a bake sale, says Gloria MacLucas.

A smile lit up her face as she watched her husband, John MacLucas, chairperson of the B.C. Government Retired Employees Association, present a still-growing collection of donations to Tricia Galbraith, secretary of the Sidney Lions Food Bank on Tuesday after-noon at the St. Andrews Anglican church hall.

“We started with a bake sale,” Gloria says again, “and then the branch wanted to make a donation to top up the bake sale to $250.”

Members then wanted to make indi-vidual donations, and so the pot grew.

“Then one member wanted to top it up to $300,” she continues.

Members were even pulling out their chequebooks and change purses as Gal-braith answered ques-tions about the food bank’s operations at the presentation.

The final count was skewed by a jumble of last minute donations, but all ‘round it came in at well over $300, not including the bags of non-perishables that members had brought in.

When asked what it means for the food bank to have commu-nity groups like the BCGREA support them, Galbraith instantly replies, “Everything. Without the donations

coming through the door, we would have an even harder time doing the job we do.”

And especially with the holidays over, the shelves at the food bank have a tendency to fall a little bare.

“In the next three or four months, we’re coming into one of the less flush times. Now is a really good time for people to be aware that this is a great time to donate.”

Cash is always needed, as the food bank has double pur-chasing power at many of the grocery stores in town. But tangible items are welcomed too.

She emphasizes no donation is ever too small. Three cans of tomato paste mean three families can make spaghetti where they

couldn’t before, said Galbraith. She also recalls an older cou-ple who made the trek down to the food bank, each with a toonie in hand, pressing a hand to her chest as she describes the moment.

“We’re in such an incredible community. People really go all out here.”

Established in 1984, the Sidney Food Bank distributes over $410,000 worth of food every year to the com-munity with the help of over 60 volunteers.

For more informa-tion or to donate to the Sidney Lions Food Bank, visit sidneyfood-bank.com, or drop off donations at 9586 Fifth Street, Monday to Fri-day from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The food bank is closed the last week of the month.

Most of us have had the palm sweating, heart pounding, red faced

experience of speaking before an audience. Maybe we have been asked to speak at a fam-ily function, or to deliver a pre-sentation at our work place, or maybe we just experience dis-comfort in our daily interaction with people unfamiliar to us. We may feel uncertain at how to introduce new people into a gathering or maybe we fumble when we have to give a heartfelt thank you speech.

We are not always prepared to handle these everyday occur-rences with poise and confi-dence because most of us do not get enough opportunities to practice these skills. A golfer goes to the driving range to practice his swings, but where can we go to practice our speak-ing skills? A Toastmasters club is the perfect place where one can develop speaking skills in a sup-portive environment.

Toastmasters International have just celebrated their 90th anniversary. The organiza-tion was started by Dr. Ralph C. Smedley to help a group of young men who had problems talking and meeting other peo-ple. The organization has since grown to having 14,650 clubs in 126 countries with 313,000 worldwide members.

Saanich Peninsula Toastmas-ters Club was chartered April 1, 1979 and is a club that has served people of all ages and all walks of life. Many have moved on to reach their career goals and others have just become more comfortable with public appearances.

Whatever your goals are, Toastmasters can help you achieve them.

Our club meets every Tues-day night 7:30 p.m. at the library on Resthaven Drive in Sidney.

One of our members moved to Sidney in the fall of last year. He has been around longer than Toastmasters, but felt that he needed an activity to keep his mind active.

His words carry weight.“The clubs do have an age

restriction of minimum age of 18 and currently the club covers the range from early 20s, middle age retirees and even beyond the three score years and ten. As a member of the latter group, I would recommend joining the group because the fellowship is good — the interaction between the ages is part of the enjoy-ment.

“The aim of Toastmasters to improve your speaking skills is very worthwhile. Even in later years one is never quite sure when you may be asked to speak, possibly at your grand-daughter’s wedding or a gradua-tion toast. In everyday activities good speech is a great help in shopping and so I would suggest that those of mature years join Toastmasters for a very enjoy-able and informative evening away from the TV set.”

Visit the club website at: 1288.toastmastersclubs.org for more information.

THE ARTS

Parkland Second-ary’s musical theatre students are busy rehearsing for the upcoming production

of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Once Upon a Mattress, a whimsi-cal spoof on the fairy tale The Princess and the Pea.

This delightful musical will challenge everything you think you know about the original story — was it really the pea that caused Princess Winnifred a sleepless night?

Once Upon a Mattress fea-tures lovable characters like

Prince Dauntless the Drab, the nasty Queen Aggravain, heroic knights, delicate princesses, hopeful ladies-in-waiting, a loyal jester, a tricky wizard and a mute king under a horrid spell.

Carried on a wave of won-derful songs, this medieval tale is both hilarious and romantic with lots of side-splitting she-nanigans.

This year’s cast and crew features over 70 students from Grades 9 through 12 who have been working hard under the tutelage of choreographer Sta-cey Firth, director and producer

Christine Irving, musical direc-tor Jan Heinrichs and set design teacher Tyler Caddell.

The show opens Wednesday, Feb. 11 and runs through Satur-day, Feb. 14 with nightly shows at 7 p.m. sharp.

Tickets can be purchased for reserved seating at the front office of Parkland Secondary, 10640 McDonald Park Road in North Saanich, or by calling the school box office at 250-655-2736.

As people gathered

in Zanzibar café on Tuesday evening, lay-ering smoked salmon taquitos and olive

tapenade on their plates as they waited for the latest Green Drinks environmental

talk, speaker Todd Car-nahan sat down with Gary Holman, Saanich North and the Islands MLA for a few minutes.

Carnahan, a biolo-gist and land care co-ordinator for the Habi-tat Acquisition Trust, quickly rattled off a laundry list of conser-vation issues on the Peninsula: vanishing wetlands, degraded ecosystems, petro-chemical pollution, lack of greenspace pro-tection.

One disturbing fact stands out. Amidst development and rec-reation spots, only eight per cent of ‘natu-ral’ ecosystems remain. Eight per cent to pro-vide clean air, healthy water and healthy soils, said Carnahan.

Holman is “very keenly interested” in what Carnahan and HAT are doing.

“We don’t talk enough about conser-vation on the Penin-sula,” said the MLA. “There needs to be more attention focused on it at all levels. This place is so special and precious. There are only a few remnants of it remaining, and we need to protect it.”

As Carnahan began speaking, his passion for conservation and preserving natural eco-systems came through loud and clear in the small café. There are a myriad of ways that landowners can help

protect their environ-ment, he said.

Working with HAT to protect private land under conservation covenants can ensure that it stays natural, even under pressures to develop. HAT will also send a biologist out to residential and private properties to identify invasive spe-cies, and help draft up plans to protect native species and ecosys-tems.

One of the easiest steps landowners can take is to ‘naturescape’ with native plants. Planting shrubs and flowers that are natu-rally drought-resistant

and thrive on the west coast not only saves water during the dry months of the summer, it also supports native birds, snakes, insects and mammals that depend on their native food sources.

One of the best ways for people to protect nature is to let it be, continued Carnahan, pointing specifically to turtles as an example.

“You see a turtle, it might be a grand-mother turtle who’s laid hundreds and hundreds of eggs, and she’s on her way back to her maternal nesting ground, and you think she’s lost. So you move her somewhere a few kilometres away, and now she is lost.”

“Turtles have been around in the same pattern for 70 million years, they’re not lost,” he said, as the audience laughed and broke into applause.

Restoring wetlands to their original boggy glory was also at the top of the biolo-gist’s list, touching on Rithet’s Bog, Maber Flats and Panama Flats.

“These are all wet-lands that were con-verted to agriculture use,” he said.

Draining the water left the high-peat soils exposed to oxygen, where they began to oxidize, compress and erode.

“Now we’re left with wetlands that don’t work as farmland and don’t work as hydrol-ogy,” he explained. “People are often con-cerned that we would be taking working

farmland out, but they don’t work right now as farms.

“It’s a win-win situ-ation,” he said, add-ing that reverting the properties back to wet-lands would improve storm water manage-ment, enhance birding, recharge groundwater, and improve the soils.

Carnahan urged the audience to contact HAT with any ques-tions about conserva-tion, native plants or for assistance in plan-ning development or changes on their lands to avoid upsetting the existing ecosystems.

“There are lots of things you can do. You might just need a biolo-gist to give you some pointers,” he said.

“Keep it natural, folks.”

The Central Saanich chapter of Green Drinks meets the last Tuesday of the month. Part of an international organi-zation, the group wel-comes those who work in, or have an interest in, environmental fields for networking, an informational lecture and socializing.

“Mostly, it’s a chance for like-minded people to meet and connect, and the cumulative effect is that a range of environmentally-friendly possibilities are revealed,” said Cen-tral Saanich councillor Alicia Cormier, who founded the Peninsula chapter two years ago.

Arendina L’Hirondelle1924 - 2015

On January 19th, 2015 Arendina L’Hirondelle’s 90-year journey ended peacefully in Sidney, BC surrounded by the love of her nearby daughters and son-in-law.

Born in the Netherlands in 1924, Dini survived wartime as a young adult, training as a French teacher and midwife. At the war's end she met her future husband, Raymond, who was in the Canadian army. In 1949 Dini immigrated to remote northern Alberta for marriage and adventure. She became a hardworking, homesteading, cow-milking, goat-chasing, chicken-plucking, garden-growing, jam-preserving, bread-baking, sheet-ironing, sweater-knitting, cloth-diaper-changing, wringer-washer-wrangling, natural child-birthing mother of four baby-boomers, plus foster mother to nieces and nephews. She studied bookkeeping and helped manage the family businesses.

In the 1980s after children were grown and husband retired, they traded frozen winters and mosquito-swarmed summers for the west coast near Sidney. Dini imparted a love of reading, learning and history to her children as well as a fl air for crafts, a green thumb and good nutrition. One of her life-long joys was swimming, which she took up again in her 70s, making many new friends at the Panorama. Trilingual, Dini continued reading, speaking and doing crossword puzzles in Dutch to the end of her life.

Pre-deceased by Raymond in 2009, and her sister Mina in 2014, Dini is greatly missed by her family, who will continue to appreciate her sacrifi ces and gifts. Dini leaves behind four daughters, their partners, ten grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, many relatives and friends in Canada, the US, and the Netherlands.

For their very compassionate care, we thank Sidney All Care staff, Dr. Bosenberg, and Dr. Del Bel. No service by request; donations can be made to WoodwynnFarms.org or the Heart & Stroke Foundation.

Condolences: [email protected]

Kathleen Ellen Adkin(nee Spicer) passed away on Thursday January 22, 2015 surrounded by family and friends. She will be greatly missed by her children Cathy, Sue Porteous (Garth) and Bill (Sherry): grandchildren Laura,Catherine (Lonny), Mike (Kerri) and Meghan (Andrew):great -grandchildren Keira, Alexis, Hanna, Aidan, and Macy.

The arrival of a new year is the perfect time to give your mortgage a checkup. That’s the advice of Paul Macara, a mortgage broker with Beyer Mortgage Services.

“I always encourage my clients to look at their mort-gage on an annual basis,” he said.

That allows people to take advantage of prepayment privileges to maximize mort-gage principal reduction, he added.

As well, high-interest debt can be transferred to a lower interest rate to boost cash flow and save on interest costs.

Reconnecting with your lender is also an opportunity to take advantage of attrac-tive mortgage products and rates, which are floating around historic lows, and could provide access to the lowest-cost funds for renova-tions, education funding, a vacation or other large loom-ing expenses.

Among other mortgage tips for 2015, Macara sug-gests speeding up your mort-gage paydown.

That could include find-ing a way to use prepay-ment privileges this year at least once. Putting a tax refund, or a little extra cash you’ve managed to sock away, toward your mortgage will increase your return on future payments.

Instead of paying your mortgage monthly, why not pay it weekly or bi-weekly? That small change can save you thousands.

“Many of our trusted lend-ers offer fantastic prepay-

ment privileges,” Macara said. “Many products allow you to prepay up to 15 to 20 per cent of your original mortgage balance every year on any of your regular pay-ment dates. This payment is applied directly toward your principal and helps you become mortgage-free sooner.”

He said it’s important to always renew with your eyes open, calling it an opportu-nity to negotiate the best

possible deal.“I recently had a client

come in with a renewal let-ter from one of the five big banks. The rate they were offering my client was one per cent higher than my best rate. Make sure you do a lit-tle research before you tick that renewal box. I always advise my clients come see me five months before their renewal date to ensure we get a rate hold in place.”

Those who purchased

their first home last year could be leaving money on the table, Macara said.

First-time buyers could be able to take advantage of the $5,000 nonrefundable Home Buyer Tax Credit amount, which provides up to $750 in federal tax relief.

No matter what the year ahead will bring for you and your home, Macara advises to make sure your credit is in good shape.

He said paying your bills

on time and making sure your credit accounts don’t exceed 30 per cent of the credit available will help you qualify for the best mortgage rate possible. He suggests building a financial cushion by putting a small amount from every paycheque into a fund to cover any potential emergencies.

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Friday, January 30, 2015 www.peninsulanewsreview.com • A23PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Friday, January 23, 2015 www.peninsulanewsreview.com • A23


By March, Connor Way is going to have to make a tough decision about his future, both in education and in sports — his theatre par-ticipation be darned.

The Sidney 13-year-old and Grade 9 student cur-rently attends St. Michaels University School and excels in rugby, football, basketball and more. However, he’s debating about his future and which sport he will even-tually see through to higher levels.

March is the deadline to enroll in courses at SMUS for the next school year. While he says he loves going to school there, Way says he’s liking football even more and is seriously considering mov-ing to Mt. Doug Secondary to join their strong football pro-gram. SMUS, he says, does not have a football program.

He says he’s leaning toward the latter, but has time yet to make his final decision.

Those are some tough choices for a young man.

Way started his athletic path at age six by way of pre-Atom spring football with the Peninsula Wildcats community team. He played three seasons with the club before moving up to Atoms (two more seasons) and cur-rently plays at the Peewee level. This March, he starts his second season with the Peewee Wildcats.

Football has, so far, been good to him. In 2013, he was the Wildcats’ defensive MVP — which he repeated in 2014, adding in an offensive MVP award with the Victoria Renegades football club just this month.

The Renegades, you ask?Yet another community

football team Way has found time for, this after playing with the Victoria Hitmen, an age group below the Ren-egades. With those same Hitmen (players age 10-12), Way contributed to a provin-cial championship in 2010.

He aged out and joined the Renegades and in 2013 they made the provincial semi-finals. Last year, the Renegades had a tougher road to follow. Way’s mom, Shauna Dorko says the team was basically shuffled to the sidelines when other teams in their league felt they were “too stacked” and didn’t want to play them. They eventually fought their way to the provincials, she says, and beat everyone in so

doing.That was frustrating,

Dorko says, adding neither she nor her son know what will happen with the Rene-gades next season, as Way ages out from that team as well, moving up to high school football.

Rugby threw a small wrench into the works when Way was in Grade 8. After being asked to try out, Way says he found he was pretty good at that sport, too.

So good, that he has earned spots on both the B.C. foot-ball and rugby teams, get-ting the opportunity to play with high-level coaches and players in B.C., Alberta and Washington State.

He will soon start trying out for the Under 15 Team B.C. football squad — and that means additional travel to the mainland.

Family life these days, “is all about sports,” says mom.

Way is training three or four times a week. Throw in other sports, classes and the theatre rehearsals and it can make for busy days.

Typically, Way says he wakes at 6 a.m. and catches the bus to SMUS by 6:55 for classes to start at 8:10. After school ends at 3:10 p.m., he catches the bus home, gets changed for a practice or game and is home by around 8:30. After homework, its time to hit the hay.

Way says he doesn’t mind the long days and hard work.

After all, he says he’s living every kid’s dream.

SPORTS In Brief

Hoops action• The Stelly’s Sting-

ers senior boys bas-ketball team has two more league games remaining this season both at home — Feb. 10 versus Reynolds and Feb. 11 against Esquimalt.

Girls in tough in North Van

Parkland Secondary School’s junior girls basketball team had a tough go in North Van-couver last weekend, dropping their first two games of a tourna-ment at Carson Gra-ham school.

The locals recovered in their final match to post a convincing win, 66-25 against Cambie.

The girls played Cla-remont Wednesday (after press deadline) and end league play Monday against Stel-ly’s at PSS.

Steven Heywood/News staff

Parkland player Jamie Cocu holds off a challenge by the St. Michaels’ player in recent league action.

SPORTSWill it be football or rugby in the fall?Connor Way of Sidney is excelling in two sports but may soon have to choose only one

Submitted photos

Sidney’s Connor Way plays multiple sports at St. Michaels University School but has achieved high levels in both football (he’s No. 7, above) and rugby (at right, he’s in the back in blue). He plays on provincial-level teams in those two sports. He may have to choose only one soon.
