Peninsula News Review, June 27, 2014

Sidney Days starts June 30

Steven HeywoodNews staff

Canada’s 147th birthday is July 1 and Sidney is cele-brating in style with their annual Sidney Days program.

Events get started on Sunday, June 29 with the revival of the Sidney Sidewalk Sale — local merchants on Beacon Avenue hit the streets with special deals and more.

Activity continued Monday evening, June 30 with entertainment in Beacon Park, a parade from Town Hall to the waterfront and a Canada Day ceremony.

That’s followed by a fireworks show at around 10 p.m., best seen from Bea-con Wharf and along the Waterfront Walkway.

Family fun continues on Canada Day with a pancake breakfast, the big parade along Beacon Avenue (it starts at 11:30 a.m. this year), fun and games in Iroquois Park and the Build-A-Boat race on Sidney’s busy waterfront.

Read all of the details on these events — including where and when — in the Peninsula News Review’s pro-gram of events included in this edition. You can find out what the Town of Sidney, Peninsula Celebrations Society, local service groups and businesses have in store for Sidney Days this year.

Sidney’s task force on down-town revitalization has issued 16 recommendations to town council but a citizen’s watchdog group says there are few direct benefits on that list to help busi-nesses along Beacon Avenue.

Mayor Larry Cross’s down-town revitalization task force compiled a list of 79 ideas and suggestions since its creation back in April of this year. Cross

said he was looking to the task force members to come up with ideas that the Town could imple-ment right away.

A staff report says those items were ranked based on whether they could be put in place imme-diately, or if they were simply not feasible. They were also ranked on level of importance and the 16 with the best rank were advanced to Monday’s council meeting.

The recommendations fall into categories such as signage,

financial and development poli-cies and miscellaneous. Of the 16, six are already in place or being acted upon by the Town and many of the other recom-mendations — including busi-ness tax relief — were carefully worded to allow council to con-sider the impact on their bottom line.

“I don’t want to approve this,” said Councillor Mervyn Lougher-Goodey Monday night at a regu-lar council meeting. “There are tax implications involved and it

all needs more discussion.”“Why should the people of Sid-

ney support businesses that are going to fail?” he asked regard-ing his concern that empty store-fronts were brought about by bad business planning and that any reduction in business taxes would hit the Town’s resident tax base.

Lougher-Goodey called the task force report “a mixed bag.”

The District of Central Saanich is reminding drivers that it’s that time of year again — chipseal mainte-nance is scheduled for next week.

On July 3 and 4 the municipality will be performing chipseal road maintenance on Martindale Road (east of Welch Road), Dogwood Lane (off East Saanich Road), Kersey Road, Sluggett Road (between Brent-wood Drive and Wallace Drive) and Bickford Lane.

Work is scheduled from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and motor-ists are being advised to select an alternate route to avoid any delays.

The municipality also reminds drivers that newly chipsealed roads will have loose rock chips on them for several weeks so drivers should reduce speed accordingly.

Peninsula News in briefLand to be left aloneSIDNEY — Town council will leave the Seaport East lands capped under its current layer of asphalt to contain comtaminants revealed during tests earlier this year. The Town was looking to redevelop the property under an agreement with the Marker Group, when the contamination was discovered.Council called off the plan and had staff look into their liability and cleanup issues. Staff recommended the site remain as-is (essentially capped) and that the Town consider remediation in conjunction with future redevelopment of the property.

Major Donald Leblanc of 443 Maritime Helicopter Squadron stands in the main hangar of the new, $105 million building that is nearing full completion. Operations and maintenance components of the squadron will be moving from their old base facilities over the next six to eight months.

New helicopter hangar nearly doneSteven HeywoodNews staff

On Monday, June 30, 443 Maritime Helicopter Squad-ron officially takes owner-ship of their new, $105 mil-lion hangar and administra-tion building at the Victoria International Airport.

That, however, is only just the beginning of their relocation from their older buildings. Major Don Philip, acting deputy commanding officer and a Sea King heli-copter pilot, says it will take six to eight months to move everything — and every-body — from seven build-ings into just one. It must be accomplished, he said, while maintaining operational sta-tus — meaning their crews must still train and be ready for missions even while their lockers are going from one place to another.

Squadron leaders and Department of National Defense staff accompanied the Peninsula News Review on a recent tour of the 20,000 square meter facility. Major

Donald Leblanc, the Squad-ron’s liaison with Defence Construction Canada (the main contractors oversee-ing companies like Knappett and Stantec), a reservist and pilot, said the main hangar — at 13,000 square meters — is larger than the ice surface at Victoria’s Save-On-Foods Centre. It can hold the unit’s current compliment of six Sea King helicopters and the nine new Sikorsky Cyclone choppers that are on order with Public Works Canada.

The new hangar and ramp area outside provide the Squadron with added capa-

bilities, such as having their own fuel station to keep the helicopters ready to fly. It also means the crews won’t use as much tarmac space at the airport.

Construction of the build-ing took three years and the driving in of 1,200 pilings to make it a post-disaster capa-ble structure. Philip noted the building has its own, self-contained ‘brain’ — boilers, electrical systems and more — and is able to collect its own water waste and runoff.

Jim Antonissen with Defence Construction Can-ada added there are high

security measures through-out the hanger, advanced fire suppression systems and security cameras all around the exterior. He said the proj-ect will be on budget.

The ground floor contains two hangars and the main-tenance operations for the Squadron.

The second floor will be home to maintenance admin-istration as well as unit oper-ations personnel. Here is where the outside activities around the building will be monitored.

The third floor is the com-mand centre and where the air crews will receive their daily briefings and mission orders. There’s also a doc-tor’s office for visits every second week, a gym for per-sonnel to maintain fitness or rehab injuries and, of course, a mess hall for unit functions. Leblanc said the mess will be where much of the Squadron’s history will be displayed.

443 Squadron has been operating on the Island for 25 years — 2014 is their

quarter-century anniversary. Philip said they employ up to 250 people right now and could grow to as many as 300 in their new facility.

When the official hando-ver takes place on Monday, Antonissen said all parties will conduct a thorough walkthrough of the building and discuss any deficiencies discovered. Those will be corrected afterwards.

Leblanc said once the move begins, command and administration will be the first to go, ensuring ser-vices such as payroll are established quickly and at the same time, flight crews maintain a state of 24-hour readiness.

The old Squadron build-ings will either be removed or, in the case of the hangar itself, be re-used by other air-port tenants. An effort was made to save the Squad-ron’s historic administration building, but citing age and high asbestos levels, the Vic-toria Airport Authority (who will retain its ownership) had decided to tear it down.

The British Columbia and Yukon chapter of the Terry Fox Foundation is looking for a new run coordinator for the annual event that takes place in Central Saanich.

According to Donna White, the Provincial Director for the Foundation, the community has been organizing a run almost every year since 1986.

“Since 2005 we had the same organizer but she stepped down after last year’s run and we’ve been looking for a new coordina-tor since,” White explained.

The run in Central Saanich serves as the main Terry Fox Run for the Saanich Peninsula. Only two other main runs take place in the Greater Victoria area on Sept. 14 — one on the Westshore and one in Victoria.

“It would be such a shame for the people of Central Saanich and the Peninsula to miss out on the opportunity to keep Terry’s legacy alive,” she said.

White said during the sum-mer, coordinating the event that takes place in early fall requires

a minimal time commitment.“At this time of year it’s prob-

ably a couple hours of week of volunteer time,” she explained.

“Of course it will get a bit bus-ier closer to run day and run day is always very busy, but it is an established event in the commu-nity and there’s lots of support around,” she said, adding that the actual run day is a long, but wonderfully rewarding day.

“We are all here in the head office on run day waiting to hear about how everyone does in their communities with their fundraising and support. It’s a really exciting day for us,” she said.

This year marks the the 34th anniversary of Fox’s Marathon of Hope which he started in 1980 to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. So far the event has raised over $650 million in Fox’s name for cancer research worldwide.

“There are close to 800 run events that will take place across the country on Sept. 14 and around 9,000 schools that will take place during the month of September,” White said.

“Even though we call our-selves the Terry Fox Run, it’s not necessarily about the running. It’s about community and hav-ing people come out together to remember Terry and honour his dream to find a cure for cancer.”

The best part is, White contin-ued, is that there are no registra-tion fees or minimum pledges involved with the Run.

“That means everybody has an opportunity to come out and be a part of the day,” she said.

Terry Fox Run needs coordinator

Coun. Tim Chad also opposed approval of the task force report, saying its recommendations need more public exposure.

Cross said the recommendations were carefully worded.

“It says we will consider it,” he said. “It doesn’t say we’re going to do it.”

He said later, however, the Town “is looking to do as much as we can, as quickly as we can.”

In an interview, Cross agreed the report could be interpreted as an election-year document that highlights council’s accomplishments.

“Yes. And it is a work in progress. It represents hard work by smart business people and the support of the Town to address serious competition.”

Richard Talbot, spokesperson for Save Our Sid-ney (SOS), a citi-zen and business owner watchdog group with a spe-cific focus on the downtown core, gives the report a C-minus.

“It’s better than nothing,” he says. “We need to see what the Town will do. The only thing done is the $150,000 they spent on new street furniture.”

One of the 16 re c o m m e n d a -tions is for more street furniture.

Talbot, a retail c o n s u l t a n t , agrees with the task force’s asser-tion that better

signage is needed to direct people into Sidney. He also agreed financial policy changes are good ideas — but noted they are all in the ‘maybe’ cat-egory.

“The issue for (council) is, in an election year, do they want to put up residential tax rates?”

For most of the recommendations, Talbot said he sees little impact on downtown businesses with a lack of significant consultation. He added SOS feels the biggest issue is turning Beacon Avenue into a full, two-way street — an issue not even on the task force’s radar.

Cross said an ongoing survey of businesses and property owners in the downtown could have an impact on the task force recommendations and even provide new ideas. That survey is under way, following the completion of a shoppers survey that collected around 800 responses over the last couple of weeks. Cross said the data collected will give the Town and business groups information for the future and for long-term planning.

A council majority supported the task force rec-ommendations, citing the cautious wording of the report. Chief Administrative Officer Randy Hum-ble added some issues will require clear direction from council on how staff should proceed, fol-lowed by additional resolutions to put the recom-mendations into motion.

“I see no reason to hold up the Mayor’s Task Force unnecessarily,” said Coun. Steve Price, not-ing staff outline the need for more study on some items in the report. “There are no tax increases, so there’s no reason to hold this up.”

Council, in a 5-2 vote, approved the 16 recom-mendations for implementation.

Town will only consider some optionsContinued from page 1

Help Prevent Heart Attacks with Vitamin C and Lysine Powder

Why is heart attack the number one killer in this

country? Ninety-nine percent of doctors say it’s due to athero-sclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiolo-gists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack.

Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy colla-gen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Two-time Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling reported twenty-five years ago it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack.

Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Welling-ton University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens’ research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death.

Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries.

Sixteen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs. Instead, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal.

I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking cholesterol lowering drugs (CLD’s). I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications.

I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens ir-refutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent.

But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years I’ve been trying to find a company that would manufacture a combination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus™ is available at health food stores and specialty pharmacies.

The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop mixed with water or juice with breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day.

This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. That is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors.

As for me – I bet my life on vitamin C and lysine! I turned 90 this year.

YOUR VIEW

The very recent decision by the federal government approving the Enbridge Pipeline that will trans-port bitumin, flies in the face of the majority of British Columbians that are opposed to this project.

Apparently, Stephen Harper and his government have chosen to ignore the wishes of many to satisfy the few.

Hopefully, Canadian voters will remember this arrogant action the next time they cast their votes.

Rod ChiltonSaanichton

Common sense prevails Councilor (Dunstan) Browne

now believes there is no need for strategic plans, minimum lot sizes, or anything other than his own ‘common sense’ is necessary to determine what gets built where in North Saanich. No doubt that’s the ‘common sense’ that tells us all that the Earth is flat and that the Sun orbits the Earth.

All one has to do now is let property deteriorate until Mr. Browne deems it be an eyesore and then build. Unbelievable. What is more unbelievable is that three other councilors agree with this approach to municipal planning.

I hope that common sense will prevail at the November elections and that Mr. Browne is defeated should he run.

No common sense Spot zoning is not common sense.The North Saanich Official

Community Plan and and Zoning Bylaws are the product of many years of consultations between our local government and our community.

They are our laws.Councillor Browne and his

fellow Councillors Daly, McBride, and Mearns show an ongoing and increasingly alarming disdain for these laws. We need and deserve stability in our neighbourhoods, but it is undermined by these four councillors encouraging and permitting subdivisions on such flimsy grounds.

The reasoning would be laughable were the result not so destructive.

Gateway a big issue

With respect to the recent proposal for the 10 acre gateway proposal at the south-west corner of Beacon Avenue and the highway, I strongly suggest a re-think.

A commercial centre, as discussed, at this site is temptation indeed for YYJ and the Town as a real estate play but is the wrong use. The error reaches beyond just more competition for Town of Sidney’s main street. A commercial development at this site would

become an instrument that will eventually destroy the charm of the Town. It would also not solve the traffic challenge at this intersection.

Beacon Ave. is a traditional and well proven main street model with anchors at either end. The past eight years of recession and the anticipated increased competition from Jesken, Sandown and others makes the challenge to keep Beacon Ave. commercially fresh, vibrant and vital one that requires energy and initiative but it will succeed.

Yet another competing commercial Gateway Centre developmentwould harm these efforts. This site offers a mutually beneficial connection between the Town of Sidney and the 40,000 cars per day that run up and down the highway. In 1991 the transportation ministry served notice of expropriation with a plan for a grade-separated interchange. Thankfully for the health of our community this planning overkill was stopped. A far sounder solution that is a fraction of the cost is an “at grade” interchange or roundabout.

I applaud the efforts of the Mayor and Town of Sidney in their task force approach to establishing the new vision for our Town. At the same time find the efforts of the SOS worthy of serious public exposure. The issue being tackled here is much bigger than local politics.

Voters will remember pipeline approval

Task force job not yet doneThe strong effort made by Sidney’s

mayoral task force on downtown revitilization cannot be denied but their

top 16 recommendations accepted by town council Monday night will continue to get mixed reviews at best.

Taking any talk of making Beacon Avenue a two-way street off the table (this council has stated it is not going to go for that), signage was a high priority for this task force and a citizen watchdog group. Signs that direct people into the downtown core have been deemed essential by most of the dogs in this fight and plans for improvements have been on the Town’s books for more than a year. Of course, proponents of the two-way street would say once the signs get people here, the one-way system drives them out — but again, that’s not on the agenda.

From signage plans, the report’s recommendations become more, well, iffy.

Council was clear Monday that ideas for reduced business tax rates, commercial incentives and even an infrared pedestrian counter are points for further debate and are not written in stone.

The remaining recommendations are items the Town has had in the works prior to the task force being formed (street line painting, Port Sidney Marina discussions, as well as a focus on downtown higher density development and incentives).

On the surface, then, it appears the task force report is an endorsement of work the Town has already done. That raises more questions in this, an election year.

If that’s the case, there’s little that’s new here for local businesses and Councillor Tim Chad is right to seek additional consultation on these recommendations.

All is not lost, however. The prolific task force came up with 63 additional ideas that hold great potential. They, like the top 16, will require community and business buy-in and a lot of long-term planning to succeed.

If the energy of this task force is any indication, that should not be a problem.

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Friday, June 27, 2014 www.vicnews.com • A7PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Friday, June 27, 2014 www.vicnews.com • A7


A trip by Hamish Crawford and his wife Bonnie to Napa, Califor-nia four years ago has led to big plans to rede-velop his farm property and The Roost Bakery in North Saanich.

The pair visited the V Sattui winery where its owner had built a stone castle — its rocks and craftsmen all brought to California from Europe. That building, says Dal-las Bohl, Hamish’s son-in-law who runs The Roost, sparked plans for a Scottish Baronial structure that most people have simply termed ‘the castle’. The estimated $1 million-plus project is approxi-mately 11,000 square feet with a courtyard in the middle of a two-storey, square struc-ture. The building will accommodate much of the farm’s current operations — a wine cellar, restaurant, tast-ing room and wood brick oven and create space for a dungeon, equipment storage and 10 farm stay rooms. The Roost Bakery will remain where it is.

About a year ago, said Bohl, the owners went to the Agricul-tural Land Commission to clear the design and their plans to enhance their farm activities.

“We were told by the ALC that we were doing too much farming,” he said, adding ALC staff were at first reluctant to allow it without applications for non-farm use permits.

Bohl said that seemed to go against what the board mem-bers on the ALC were encouraging in the way of value-added devel-opment of farm opera-tions, so they got their lawyer involved.

“We did make an application for a non-farm use permit but we withdrew it,” Bohl explained. “It felt wrong

to send a message that value-added farming was not necessarily what the ALC wanted.”

In the end, their plans were deemed pre-approved farm use. While the ALC, he said, does not issue permits or give projects a green light, they are there in case something goes wrong.

The application for a development permit has since gone before North Saanich district council. Mayor Alice Finall says the build-ing falls within the ALC framework and guide-lines — meaning coun-cil’s only say in the mat-ter is on the project’s form and character, as well as traffic impacts. With a new main access planned for along McTavish Road, the B.C. transportation ministry is reviewing any issues.

“Apart from that,” she said, “for this type of development per-mit, if it adheres to the guidelines, we cannot do much.”

That said, she added it’s an interesting

design, not unattract-ive and overall the proj-ect explores additional methods of marketing local farming.

Finall said coun-cil has heard people’s concerns about noise,

traffic and even the 10 rooms proposed for the castle. The rooms are allowed under ALC rules and Finall said any noise complaints would be dealt wit under the district’s cur-

rent bylaws.Bohl said he doesn’t

expect there to be addi-tional noise, despite the fact that once com-plete, the redevelop-ment will make The Roost and the Highland House Farm a year-round operation. With much of the activity planned for the court-yard, he said noise will be reduced.

The issue of 10 rent-able rooms at the castle has also been brought

up and Bohl is quick to point out that it’s no motel.

“This will be a 10-room, short stay bed and breakfast,” he said. “I want it to be event-and-tour-based with the focus on the farm operation.

“A motel here won’t work. The farm has to be the star here.”

Bohl said he sees the project as a hub for North Saanich’s farm-ing activity — a place

to help direct visitors to other agricultural sites, from local farms to roadside stands.

The traffic study, said Bohl, should be completed by mid-July. Pending the outcome of North Saanich’s permit-ting process, he said he hopes to break ground on the first phase of the castle by Septem-ber, with a full buildout complete by 2016.

THE ARTS

CENTRAL SAANICH — Lately there is a buzz of excitement sur-rounding the critically acclaimed Canadian cellist Ariel Barnes.

In recent years he has appeared in recital in New York, Toronto, Ottawa, Halifax, Que-bec City, Vancouver, San Fran-cisco and Guadalajara, Mexico.

His solo and chamber music performances have been broad-cast by CBC Radio, and he was recently selected as one of six cellists across the nation to cel-ebrate the launch of cbcmusic.ca as a featured artist.

The fact that the Canada Coun-cil awarded him with the use of their finest cello is proof of his position as one of our country’s top instrumentalists.

Known internationally as a mesmerizing soloist and cham-ber musician, he was recently appointed Principal Cellist of the Vancouver Symphony Orches-tra.

This Sunday, June 29 Barnes

and pianist Sarah Hagen will perform at Eine Kleine Summer Music.

They will play Schumann Fantasy Pieces, Op. 73, Shosta-kovich Sonata, Op 40, d minor, Rachmaninov Vocalise and Beethoven Sonata, Op. 5/No. 2,

g minor at 2:30 p.m. at the First Unitarian Church of Victoria (5575 West Saanich Rd.)

Tickets ($25/$20) can be reserved by calling 250-413-3134. For more information visit www.eksm.ca.

Question of the WeekBob McHugh in his review of the Lincoln MKC reveals there is a new technology called “park out assist” which gets your vehicle out of the tight parking sport that the “park assist” shoehorned you into! Is this kind of technology in danger of diminishing a driver’s control skills?

Lincoln luxury at a non-premium priceSanta Barbara, Calif. - The MKC is the first (luxury) compact utility vehicle from Lin-coln and, while related, it’s very different from the Ford Escape. Development of both vehicles started with Ford’s global “C” platform, but other than its base 2.0 litre turbo-engine, the MKC has little else in common with its Ford counterpart. All-wheel-drive is standard (in Canada) on all three editions of the MKC and a start price just under $40,000 is also inviting compared to other luxury CUVs such as the Acura RDX ($41,390) and BMW X3 ($42,800). (A top-line Ford Escape, by the way, is listed at $35,699). The MKC is the second of four all-new product launches intended to redefine Lincoln. The first being the Lincoln MKZ last year, an all-new MKX is expected next year and a, so-far unnamed, full-sized sedan will follow. The new Lincoln styling theme includes smooth clean lines a slick shape (described as “graceful ath-leticism”) and up front, there’s a contemporary take on the traditional Lincoln split-wing grille.Another eye-catching feature of the MKC is around back, a huge wraparound lift gate includes full-width LED rear lighting assemblies. This unique one-piece hydro-formed steel door opens like a clamshell and allows complete access to the cargo area. An optional hands-free feature also allows it to open with a kick-ing motion below the rear bumper. The MKC also has a roomy feel to its interior, particu-larly for front seat occupants. A dash that slants away, towards the windshield, adds to its airy ambiance. It’s also a much quieter cabin than its stable mate, with numerous built-in sound deadening features that in-clude a noise control system that eliminates unwanted sound waves and enhances others. Available inside accent trims include brushed alumi-num or open-pore Zebrano and Santos Rosewood that

can be matched with standard, made in Scotland, Bridge of Weir “Deepsoft” leather upholstery. The premium car ex-perience actually starts as you approach the MKC with an accent welcoming lighting feature that’s automatically ac-tivated (by the key fob) when an owner is within 2.4 metres (8-ft). Our 320-kilometre-plus route took us away from the coast along the scenic Jacento Reyes Byway. This lightly trav-elled twisty two-lane road gets narrow in sections. It also presented some spectacular vistas along the way and some intimidating cliff faces and rock formations.I was impressed with the MKC’s predict-able handling characteristics through the twisty sections. It was stable, very forgiving at higher speeds and generally more agile than expected for a utility

vehicle - especially after I finally figured out how to set-up the driving modes, called Lincoln Drive Control. The normal, comfort and sport settings for the sus-pension and steering are preset (via vehicle settings on the instrument panel and customizable to a limited extent) by a driver to function with “D” and “S” transmission selections. It’s a different and somewhat complex way of providing this feature. Push-button transmission selection is another feature that I wouldn’t get excited about. I get the space-sav-ing functionality and the historic connection to Lin-coln, but still prefer a shift lever. Manual operation of the transmission’s six speeds can be done via paddle shifters on the steering wheel. The shifts, however, could be crisper and the system tends to be very pro-tective of the engine (over-revving) on downshifts. Only MKC vehicles with the new 2.3-litre twin-scroll turbo engine were available to drive at this U.S. event, which would price tag them close to $50,000 in Can-ada. An impressively smooth and quiet performer (in this application) this engine can produce 285-horse-

power compared to the base 2.0-litre’s 240-horsepow-er, which is the top engine in an Escape. As you might expect, the 2.0L engine gets better fuel economy, but the difference is minimal and both can run on regular grade fuel. All the latest driver-assist technologies are avail-able with MKC including, adaptive cruise control, a collision warning system, blind-sport alert, cross-traffic alert and park assist, with a unique new wrinkle... park-out assist. This added feature can now auton-omously steer that MKC out of that tight parallel parking spot into which it put the MKC! Lincoln may be a little late in joining the booming compact luxury utility club, but the MKC is certainly an impressively well put-together new member and it’s priced to sell.

Despite the relatively early call time, a group of almost 100 Mazda Mia-ta/MX-5 drivers/passengers gathers for the morning’s meeting.The weather is looking favourable even though the a.m. envelops the crowd with its chilliness. It’s not raining though. That’s a good sign.Tour organizer and former Trillium Miata Club president, Gary Svobo-da, talks about the day’s journey, addresses some basic housekeeping rules, makes some jokes and engag-es in witty banter with a group of excited Miata enthusiasts.Everyone is ready to hit the roads of Vermont in their tiny, drop top, two-doors. Everything from first generations Miatas, to the latest and greatest rear-wheel drive road-sters line the gravel parking lot of our home base, also known as the Stowehof Inn.Stowe, VT’s claim to fame is as a ski destination. Currently, its claim to fame is the 46 Mazdas that drove in from Ontario and are congregating for their annual tour.Each May long weekend, a group of club members look forward to the event. It’s been going for over 20 years and hasn’t disappointed. The crowd gets rowdier by the minute so go-time is just around the corner.The meeting wraps up; we branch into our respective groups and fire up the engines. As honorary members for the event, my co-pilot – aka my mother

Zsuzsanna Straub – and I get behind the wheel of our MX-5. Within moments, we’re topless. The car. Not us!Seven vehicles comprise a group, including a leader and a sweeper. We’re comfortably nestled in the bosom of the pack. Our job is to enjoy ourselves, as well as give the MX-5 a little bit of room to romp free.It’s hard not to smile on the undu-lating roads of Vermont, which are lined with trees, houses, fields and topped off with a bovine scent!Then there is what is called “The Notch.” A mountain road where emaciated limbs of indigenous trees

look like they’re reaching out and trying to touch the cars. Boulders are scattered and the path is paved around it. The intermittent obstacles would likely be the outcome of two Greek gods having a rock fight. You would have to have superhuman strength to move them.The sinuous and slender road is a hoot to drive through especially with no one in front of you. The occasional crackling on the CB radios frequently is overpowered by instructions from the leader. Like a mother duck summoning her young, we followed in order. We stuck together and took in some breathtaking scenery of New

England. Scenery aside, what was the most interesting to breathe in was the enthusiasm and energy of the Miata owners.Liz Burns has “Miatatude” stick-ered across her windshield. Miata earrings dangle from her ears as she professes her love of her emerald beauty.Another owner decided to turn his conventional doors into ones that open up not out.At breakfast, lunch and dinner, they regale each other with sto-ries of other events they’ve been on. Outbursts of laughter perk up the ears of bystanders; making them wish they were at that table reliving the memories. The cama-raderie of those young and young at heart is undisputable.Regardless of background,

profession, or preference in exterior colour, few vehicles in the world bring people together as strongly as Mazda’s MX-5.Liz was one of the first members of the Trillium Miata Club. She expect-ed to join a group of Miata owners and drive with them on weekends. Liz says she “didn’t expect to make friends for 25 years” but she did.And as the Miata/MX-5 turns 25 this year, here’s to another quarter century of promote the best that life has to offer: the bond of man-kind and machine, 167 horsepower at a time.

You need not be a Formula 1 fan to enjoy this computer-generated film about the Red Bull Ring, the location for this coming weekend’s Austrian Grand Prix.It features the man from today’s Driveway cover story – four-time World Champion Sebastian Vettel and Infiniti-Red Bull Racing’s young gun Daniel Ricciardo racing around the track. Driving RB10s, Daniel and Sebastian explain the track’s unique characteristics as they dual around the 4.3

km circuit. As the Red Bull racers contend with changing weather conditions, they explain the circuit’s elevation changes, the four best overtaking opportunities, the track’s nine corners and the four high-speed stretches.In certain sections of the circuit, Sebastian’s RB10 becomes transparent, showing the intricate inner details of his 2014 racecar.

French Open winner, Maria Sharapova, was driven to the glamorous Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) Pre-Wimbledon Party in the Porsche 918 Spyder – the Stuttgart marque’s fastest, most powerful production car to date, and one of the lowest-emitters of CO2 of any class of car.Fresh from his drive in the Le Mans 24 Hours race, Sharapova’s chauffeur for the night was Porsche factory ‘works’ driver, Mark Webber, complete in smart chauf-feur attire.The 918 Spyder has a mid-mounted 4.6-litre V8 race engine coupled to two electric motors with lithium-ion batteries. It is a remarkable plug-in hybrid super

sports car that can reach a top speed of 344 km/h, sprint from zero to 100km/h in 2.5 seconds, and yet at 72 g/km (70 g/km with the lightweight Weissach Package) produces so little CO2 that it is exempt from the London Congestion Charge.It has a total power output of 887 hp and holds the current lap record for a production car at the famous Nürburgring race circuit of just 6 minutes 57 seconds. Despite all that performance, its plug-in hybrid technology means a low fuel con-sumption of 3.0 L/100kms is possible.View a gallery of photos and full story at drivewaycanada.ca

Show at Odette Laroche GalleryDevon MacKenzieNews staff

Twelve artists will be show-ing off their talent in an upcom-ing show in Sidney.

The Fake or Fortune show at Odette Laroche Gallery begins on July 1 and will showcase renditions of famous paintings by Rembrandt and Carvaggio as well as original works.

“There are twelve artists showing their accom-plished works and the variety is astounding,” said the gallery’s owner, Odette Laroche. “The group has painted together for several years and every-one has developed a unique style of their own while building their skills.”

The renditions of Rembrandt’s and Caravaggio’s originals are painted in the style of the old masters called Grisaille, explained Laroche.

“It is a method of painting used exclusively by the old masters up to the turn of the century when impressionism became popular,” she added.

Grisaille method is still used today and calls for a perfect image in charcoal on canvas, which is then sprayed with a fixative. The process of layering paint with only five colours and white begins and ends with glazes that enhance the glow in skin transparen-cies.

“This show is an impressive mix of originals done in several styles of painting ranging from impasto, impressionism to photo-realism,” Laroche said.

Odette Laroche Gallery is located on Beacon Avenue by Fairway Market on the second floor. The show runs until July 13 and a Meet the Artists Reception will take place Saturday, July 5 from 1 to 4 p.m. For details, call 250-655-8278.

Time was, a Realtor’s job was to identify potential homes for clients then guide them through the myriad legal details surrounding the buying and selling of property.

Those roles are still there, but technology and clients’ expectations have brought changes that have re-shaped the Realtor’s career.

“The role of the Realtor has changed, especially in the last 10 or 15 years,” says Tim Ayres, president of the Victoria Real Estate Board.

He notes that while much of the Realtor’s job had been information gathering for home shoppers, the Internet now allows people to do much of that legwork themselves.

Today, a Realtor’s value is not only in how well-versed they are on the legal ins and outs of home buying and selling, but also in their mar-keting skills and ability to stay well-informed about the community in which they’re selling. Examples are trends in the marketplace, demo-graphics, schools, transportation issues, and development plans.

Fortunately, Greater Victoria is small enough that Realtors can familiarize themselves quite easily with neighbourhoods from Sooke to Sidney. But Ayres suggests Realtors often find success in focusing on a particular part of the region.

This diverse knowledge base is all the more important when working with clients from outside the region, such as those relocating with the military or RCMP, or retirees seeking the promise of mild winters.

While the Internet has changed

the Realtor’s role, it’s also dramati-cally changed the way they do busi-ness. Realtors selling a property should be savvy to today’s technol-ogy, using video, photography and floor plans to provide prospective buyers with a full picture of a prop-erty, for example.

“An online presence is key,” Ayres says. “Make sure what you’re doing (to market a property) is what peo-ple want to see.”

Homes can be viewed via iPad,

prices negotiated by text and con-tracts reviewed via smart phone.

At the same time, there’s a lot to be said for a Realtor’s ability to con-nect with clients on a personal level.

Patrick Skillings has been a Real-tor for 30 years, and believes in the time-honoured approach of one-on-one contact with clients, and of being genuinely interested in those he meets – as people, not only the means to a potential sale, he says.

While it takes work, maintaining

contact with clients in the years fol-lowing a home sale or purchase also helps keep connections active and promote word-of-mouth advertising. Skillings points out, for example, that he recently worked with a client he’d helped to buy a home almost three decades earlier.

“Clients like the fact that we com-municate on a variety of different levels, not just about a particular piece of property,” he says.

SELLER’S TIP | Talk to your agent about how they plan to market your home

Real estate agents’ skill set ever expandingThe Real Estate Council

is B.C.’s licensing and regu-latory agency for real estate professionals.

Applicants must suc-cessfully complete the council’s education require-ments specific to careers in real estate sales, rental property management ser-vices or strata management services, offered through the University of British Columbia Real Estate Divi-sion.

As a blended learning course, students can reg-ister at any time, but the course must be completed within one year.

Those with prior real estate education or expe-rience may receive an exemption from course work.

Applicants must be at least 19 years old, although the course and examination may be completed earlier; individuals have up to one year from passing the exam to apply for licensing.

Real estate-related post-secondary programs are also available at the Uni-versity of British Columbia and the B.C. Institute of Technology.

North Saanich’s Osborne part of winning doubles team

COLWOOD — The top seeds put on a clinic in the ‘A’ final of the Gllangcolme Ten-nis Festival on Sunday, June 22.

Johanne Mui of Saanich and North Saa-nich’s Alan Osborne made short work of five-time event champions Peter and Dam-aris Brix, winning 6-1, 6-0 to collect their second mixed doubles title in three years under a hot late afternoon sun at the Lang-ford Tennis Club.

Bolstered by Osborne’s lightning serves and the unflinching net play of Mui, the

winners never let the Brixes back into the match after winning the first four games in the first set.

“We’ve always had tough matches against them,” Osborne said. “We know their game fairly well. Peter’s a world-class badminton player with a great smash, so we tried to stay away from the overhands, and we tried to keep Damaris running.”

The Brixes have won the tournament five times previous, but as Peter noted, “the top four teams on any given day can win it.”

Sunday’s other finals saw Wendy Whib-ley and Lauren Banerd defeat Sue Grand-maison and Sajan Joseph in the B division. Sandi Johnson and Mike Carey took the C event. — Black Press
