It’s beginning to look a lot like Christ-mas in Saanichton.

On Saturday, the Saanichton Village Association hosts it 11th annual Commu-nity Christmas and Winter Market. Asso-ciation President Jim Townley says it’s a day of family-oriented holiday fun and is,

overall, free for the entire community.

“It’s meant to kick off the retail sea-son in the village,” he e x p l a i n e d , noting the Saanichton Community C h r i s t m a s was started more than a decade ago at his fam-

ily’s cafe, Fresh Cup Roastery.His goal was to raise money for the

food bank. By 2010, the event had grown so much and was involving so much of the community that the Village Associa-tion wanted to take over and expand it even further.

This Saturday’s event features a pop-up winter market at Pioneer Square Mall.

Coen Wallace is ready for some water fun as he and mom Tanis get ready for a trip to Hawaii in February. The Wallace family joined the Help Fill A Dream Foundation at CIBC Wood Gundy this week to receive a donation towards the trip.

Trip a dream come true for CoenDonation by CIBC Wood Gundy on Miracle Day helps North Saanich familySteven HeywoodNews staff

Tanis Wallace says her son Coen, 5, began kindergarten this year and is happy and healthy.

The pair from North Saanich attended CIBC Wood Gundy’s 31st annual Miracle Day

in Victoria Wednesday and were greeted with a surprise. Financial advisors, staff and clients of the firm donated to the family $10,000 for a trip to Hawaii in February.

The donation was made through the Help Fill A Dream Foundation, which has sup-ported the Wallace family since Coen was diagnosed with kidney problems after he

was born. In 2013, said Tanis, Coen had a kidney transplant and since then has been making regular trips to B.C. Children’s Hos-pital in Vancouver for checkups every three months.

Tip of the Peninsula

We want your old pennies

It’s that time of year again — the Peninsula News Review is asking our readers to get out those pennies, nickels, dimes, loonies

and toonies and bring them into our office or other collection points for our Coins for Kids campaign.

Last year, the News Review raised more than $2,500 and the money was donated to the Saanich Peninsula effort to ensure fami-lies with children were able to give gifts at Christmas.

The PNR campaign is being done in con-junction with the Mary Winspear Centre’s Peninsula Santa’s Helpers effort. The Cen-tre is collecting toys for girls and boys of many ages and they too have drop off points throughout the community. Look for the recurring advertising in the paper for where you can donate.

The coins are already starting to come in, but we need your help. Dig through the sofa cushions and car seats, open the junk drawer at home and collect those loose coins.

Be the change you want to see in the world and help us collect that change this month.

Contact the PNR for details at 250-656-1151.

North Saanich firefighter Brian Thomas and Sidney Fire Chief Brett Mikkelsen joins Sidney Lions Food Bank Executive Director Bev Elder in the food bank’s stockroom. Saanich Peninsula fire departments will be out collecting food and other donations on Dec. 19.

Food donations in the bagSaanich Peninsula firefighters joining forces again to help local food bankSteven HeywoodNews staff

Helping to feed around 1,000 people every month can be a daunting task.

Yet, that’s just what the staff and volun-teers at the Sidney Lions Food Bank do for Saanich Peninsula residents.

They need help, of course, and look to the community and area businesses for donations and good deals.

They are getting a good deal of support from firefighters this month. For the sec-ond year, Central Saanich, North Saanich and Sidney fire departments are combin-ing their efforts on a single day to collect as much food as they can handle.

Brian Thomas of the North Saanich Fire Department says on Saturday, Dec. 19, firefighters, their families and other vol-unteers will be in their respective com-munities, collecting non-perishable food items, cash donations and even warm coats.

Last year’s effort — the first time all departments went out to collect on the

same day — brought in 20 pallets of food. Bev Elder, executive director of the Sid-ney Lions Food Bank, says that gave them three months’ supply.

The annual firefighters’ food drive is an opportunity, says Sidney Fire Chief Brett Mikkelsen, to bring their departments together for a good cause — and to intro-duce younger and new firefighters into the broader community.

“Everybody wins,” he said.Thomas noted that most firefighters on

the Peninsula are volunteers already.“Yet, they continue to say ‘I’ll be there’

and ‘is there something I can do,’” he said.

On Dec. 19, North Saanich firefighters will have their truck out in the Dean Park subdivision between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Thomas added if people are not avail-able that day, the Wain Road fire hall will be open to accepting donations between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday.

Sidney firefighters canvas the town between 5:30 and 9:30 p.m.

Mikkelsen said they’ve gotten commit-

ments from their volunteers and their families — and he’s hoping some of the Town’s elected officials will join them.

Watch the News Review for updates on the food drive and information from Cen-tral Saanich.

Elder said the food bank currently needs toiletries for their hampers — toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and more. They take food items year-’round and can now take fresh vegetables into their refrigerated storage space.

The Sidney Lions Food Bank is also looking for temporary storage space to be able to accommodate all the food brought in by the fire fighters and other donors this month.

“We need 2,000 square feet of space — with no critters,” she said.

Without the extra room, Elder said they will be forced to use the food bank space for sorting, leaving little room for their day-to-day functions.

Fifteen vendors will be there with live Celtic music by Knackers Yard and the Central Saanich Fire Department’s ladder truck.

The event kicks off with a pancake breakfast at 9 a.m. at St. Mary’s Church at the corner of East Saanich Road and Cultra Avenue, hosted by the Central Saanich Lions Club. At the same time, Santa will drop by and people can, by donation to the food bank, have their pictures taken with the jolly old elf. The breakfast and Santa’s visit ends at around 11:15 a.m.

Between 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., Saanichton businesses welcome kids and their families as they follow the Christmas Tree Trail. Townley said

there are around 16 trees on the Trail — local busi-nesses providing stamps on maps that take people around the village.

Over the same time frame, kids can decorate gingerbread men — and take them home from the Saanich Pioneer Museum.

Throughout the day, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Townley added Tally-Ho Carriage Tours will have a pair of Christmas horse-drawn carriages making their way around the village, providing rides.

The 11th Saanichton Community Christmas and Winter Market is 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and, said Town-ley, a good way for people to see what the village has to offer.

“We’re encouraging people to get to know Saan-ichton, stay here and have a good look around,” he said. “This is such a fun event.”

He said the association hopes to raise $5,000 for the Sidney Lions Food Bank this weekend, sur-passing last year’s amount of $2,500.

Additional information about Saturday’s event can be found at saanichtonvillage.ca.

Recycling, specifi-cally curb side col-lection of glass in the region, was debated at length during a special town hall meeting of Central Saanich council on Monday night.

District council held the town hall meeting, seeking public input on issues facing the municipality and on the minds of residents.

Mayor Ryan Wind-sor, who is the coun-cil’s representative on the board of the Capital Regional District (CRD), said the CRD came up with a strategy to cre-ate a separate bin just for glass.

Windsor said Multi- Materials B.C. (MMBC), which took over the responsibility for man-aging residential recy-cling in the province, is concerned with mate-rial contamination.

“So if plastic is mixed with metal and mixed with glass of any kind,” Windsor said, “MMBC could potentially start fining municipalities — or the Capital Regional

District — that are not properly separating glass.”

He said it’s re-using glass and other recyclables is a struggle at the political level.

“The chal-lenge with that is that it doesn’t address a fundamental problem ...” Windsor said, explaining that the amount of non-deposit refund glass is one third of the total glass going into blue boxes.

He added two-thirds is deposit refund glass, which is meant to go into a different stream then go back to brewer-ies, to go back to pro-ducers to be refilled.

“I’m quite passion-ate about the issue, I believe that there is a cost savings from not picking up at the curb side and it could be quite substantial ... in the order of half a mil-lion dollars over the remaining part of this mandate, with trucking

getting more expen-sive.”

Windsor added that’s not an insignificant amount of money.

“I think a half a mil-lion dollars is worth sav-ing.”

The CRD board has not yet made a decision on how to address glass

recycling issues and will meet to discuss details further on Dec. 9.

Bottle depots that take the glass back want the CRD to try and divert it from going into those blue bins, Windsor con-tinued, add-ing he won-ders how do they go about doing that.

W i n d s o r said they either put a ban on certain types of glass, specifically on the deposit refund,

or they stop collect-ing glass altogether. He said issues would still remain, such as con-tamination rates if one type of glass is banned and others are not.

Essentially, he con-tinued, recycling collec-tors would be turned into the police, as they then will have to pick through and find out what’s not meant to be there.

“It sounds to me that there’s some education required if there’s that much refundable glass, said Councillor Bob Thompson. “(If) two-thirds of it is refundable then ... we’re losing a

lot of money.”W i n d s o r

said a lot of deposit refund glass is simply not being re-used but is being destroyed. That repre-sents a sig-nificant loss of money and resources, he

said.“This issue seems to

me that it’s kind of a regional issue of great

importance and I think we’ve all got different concerns or feelings on it in terms of how to best dispose or recy-cle materials and so it doesn’t end up in the landfill if you’re too lazy to take it to a depot,” said Coun. Alicia Corm-ier.

One concerned resi-dent said if grocery stores don’t take back people’s pickle jars, people are simply going to just dump stuff. The speaker said recycling must be made easy for people if local govern-ments want them to conform.

Windsor said curb side collection of glass is currently facing a split with around 50 per cent of the munici-palities in B.C. having stopped curb side col-lection and others who have continued.

The CRD’s Environ-mental Services Com-mittee is re-examining its residential curb side glass collection.

Windsor said despite what MMBC might be saving in certain capac-ities, there’s a challenge to the idea that they are

saving money. “The reality of the

cost implication over the next four years is a minimum of $100,000 a year additional cost for curb side collection of glass specifically,” he said, adding there is a cost increase not a decrease.

Coun. Niall Paltiell said there is a commu-nity ownership issue as well as an organiza-tional ownership when it comes to the issue.

“I think at the end

of the day, I think the CRD has probably let you down a little bit on this,” he told a crowd of close to 20 people at the town hall meeting.

“I think that at the same time though, from what the Mayor has stated, when it comes to sorting and being responsible citizens in our community, when it comes to how we treat waste, we’ve let them down as well.”

SIDNEY — Local police are stepping up drinking and driving enforcement this month as the holiday season approaches.

Sidney North Saanich RCMP report officers are seeing

steady numbers of impaired drivers on local roads. They remind drivers police will be increasing their patrols.

Since Jan 1, 2015, officers with the local RCMP detach-ment report they have taken

128 impaired drivers off the roads in Sidney and North Saa-nich.

The RCMP also remind peo-ple that there are Victoria-area and Saanich Peninsula-based services offering designated

drivers who will drive them and their vehicle home. Police suggest people refrain from driving after consuming any amount of alcohol.

Food for thoughtF

ood banks have become a staple within our society and they continue to need and deserve our support.

Every once in a while, we hear some people lament the need for food banks —

talking about how they are meant to be stop gaps and should not have to exist in this day and age.

Yet, a recent report on food bank use in B.C. has stated more and more people need their services.

Here on the Saanich Peninsula, the Sidney Lions Food Bank reaches approximately 1,000 people each month. Those numbers have leveled off over last year, according to food bank Executive Director Bev Elder, but that doesn’t mean the need

has just gone away.Because there’s

mobility in the region, she says people in need of food bank services may simply have changed locations

and are counted among the users of other food banks, like Victoria’s Mustard Seed.

In times of economic boom or bust, there will always be a need for food banks to help families and individuals make ends meet. Users might not be constant users, but people who find themselves in a position none of us would hope to see — out of a job or injured in some way and facing too many bills. Food banks can help provide just enough groceries and other items to get some people past that bump in the road.

Certainly, no one wants to see food banks used as a crutch. But because people can find themselves in dire straits, their services will always be required.

On the Peninsula, the food bank received a lot of support and has a dedicated collection of community volunteers to help make it go.

They still need the support of individuals in our communities to ensure their shelves are stocked — not only during the giving season, but throughout the year.

Saanich Peninsula firefighters have come together to collect food and cash donations and they are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the community’s generosity.

Hopefully, by following their example, we can help ensure our neighbours don’t have to go wanting throughout the year.

We are retirees living on Rodolph Road near Styan Road.

We spend many hours outside gardening. Our kitchen and dinette windows overlook Rodolph Road, therefore we are very aware of all traffic.

Rodolph is a wide road with no sidewalks, sharp corners, blind driveways and parking allowed on both sides of the road. Pedestrians use this road and children of all ages walk, bike and skateboard to schools and bus stops. There are a lot of dog walkers, elderly with canes and walkers and day care workers pushing strollers.

Personally, we find it difficult to drive over 40 kilometres per hour on Rodolph Road.

If the police consider compliance driving five to 10 km/hr over the posted 50 km/hr limit, enforcement would only start at speeds over 60 km/hr. We consider this highly unsafe.

The straight stretch of Rodolph between Twinview Road and the Buena Vista/Bella Vista junction, is where motorists pick up speed.

Since one fatality is one too many, we strongly urge Central Saanich council and the police to reduce the posted speed limit on Rodolph Road to 40 km/hr.

Enforcement still wouldn’t start ‘til speeds exceed 50 km/hr — a speed we still consider unsafe.

Share the experienceWhile reading the many recent

articles relating to homelessness and refugees, I was reminded of my own story.

When I entered Canada as an immigrant in 1971 we were well received. Even though I could not speak English, I tried to make ends meet. This was accomplished by tak-ing on various jobs much different to those I was used to in the Nether-lands which were all related to sales positions with heavy equipment.

I began working for commission, selling vacuum cleaners. I had a good run on it, however, when it came to closing the deal I was not success-ful because earlier on in Holland I

had learned not to depend on credit. Selling vacuum cleaners could only be successful if you adopted that concept.

I declined to do that so I decided to work on a labour job in construc-tion. After six weeks, just prior to Christmas, I was laid off. I tried hard to get other employment, but to no avail. However, we were very blessed. Just a few days before the Christmas celebrations began we were surprised by Canadian friend-ship and generosity.

Our Christmas was overwhelming in comparison to what we had been used to in Holland. Turkey and all the trimmings, a decorated tree and gifts for all were quietly and secretly delivered to our home. I still remem-ber today that previous to this I had contacted Social Services in Calgary because we needed financial help. It was a humiliating move but there were very few questions asked and our daily needs were provided for.

As a family, we remember those days of humanitarian generosity and kindness as the best experience of all time in the worst of circumstances.

I wish that all the refugees and homeless people hopefully can have a similar experience.

Let us show with all the goodness in our hearts that we can reach out and make a difference to those who are most needy at this time in their lives.

Craig Smith, execu-tive director of the Foundation, said Coen and his family are being helped with travel, and medical costs — and now this dream trip to the Walt Disney Resort in Hawaii.

“We have supported 2,145 Island kids since we started 30 years ago,” he said, not-ing they help provide home renovations for children with special needs, equipment and more, to ease the finan-cial burden on their families.

“The dream trips are the icing on the cake, the fun stuff,” Smith said. “And this is a small reward for families who have gone through so much.”

Tanis said Coen’s kid-ney was donated by a family member.

‘He’s got a really good kidney now,” she said. “It was a perfect

match.”Coen himself looked

like he was ready to go, after CIBC staff also donated some swim and snorkel gear for the family’s trip.

Neil Chappell, an

investment advisor with CIBC Wood Gundy in Victoria, said this Mir-acle Day saw $80,000 in donations given to various local charities. Miracle Day, he said, is held by the firm on

the first Wednesday of every December and started 31 years ago. In that time, across the country, they have raised around $80 mil-lion for charity.

This year, donations

were awarded to the Help Fill a Dream Foun-dation, Victoria Foun-dation, B.C. Childhood Cancer Parent’s Asso-ciation, KidSport and a local Pathfinders group with Girl Guides.

Floating the new Audi A4 in a city without blacktopVenice, Italy – Can you believe that Audi would invite the world’s media to attend the launch of its 2017 A4 in a town where signs limit speed to seven km/h on most of its main streets?Launch for the non-amphibious craft is probably an appropriate descriptor for the event, given the streets of this world heritage site are all under water and the main means to get from A to B is by motor launch.Ensconced at the Isole delle Rose island resort we learned of the new model’s attributes in a quiet and relaxed atmosphere away from the typical city noise.Then we headed for the dry land of the Veneto region, north of the city, to put the machine through its paces through urban traffic, free-ways, rural wine country routes and high into the

mountains, ascending and descend-ing along serpentine roads.Its driving attributes can be summed up thusly: plenty of perk in the turbo charged 2.0-litre, four-cylinder engine, providing more than adequate propulsion to scale the heights and pass the freeway laggards – smoothly – greatly aided by a responsive seven-speed transmission. Played with the paddle shifters for fun while luging down the steep mountain side but didn’t feel the need to experiment with them for most of the drive. The cornering on the twisties was ‘A1’ in the A4, thanks to substantial techni-cal improvements to the suspen-sion. It’s quiet too.We are not going to see the A4 on Canadian roads until late spring. There are seven power plants avail-

able globally but we will get just the 2.0-litre gas

engine at launch. The gas version generates 252 horsepower and a diesel – which we should get eventually – puts out 190. No, it’s not the same engine that has caused so much grief for Audi’s VW parent.No fuel economy numbers yet but Audi is promis-ing substantial improvements over the current combined city/highway of 8.9 L/100kms for the gas engine. Our A4s will all have Quattro four-wheel drive and the seven-speed dual clutch S-Tronic transmission. Front-wheel drive vehicles and a manual transmission option will debut later.The A4’s appearance is only subtly different from the last version but after much work in the wind tunnel, its reshaping had yielded substantial aerodynamic improvements. Inside the cabin expect some classy touches: fine grain ash wood inlays lifts and chrome trims raise the A4 in the elegance stakes. The optional revamped Multi-Media Interface (MMI) system enables the driver to keep eyes on the road ahead by reducing the interactions needed to deliver what functions the driver wants to operate.

The centre console houses a wireless smartphone charger and you can display your phone apps in a larger format on the tablet-like display. Rear pas-sengers can entertain themselves via a removable tablet – also an option. It has crash proof glass!I mentioned how quiet the cabin is but you can fix that if you opt for the Bang & Olufsen 3D sound system. Techno and safety nuts will be impressed with the list of passive and active safety equip-ment available either as standard or optional ex-tras. These include adaptive cruise control, traffic jam and active lane assists and self-parking that responds to road markings, radar and satellite navigation data to keep the car on the straight and narrow. That technology enables the A4 to cruise up to 65 km/h autonomously, as long as you place your hands on the wheel every few sec-onds. If you don’t you get a loud reminder! One wit suggested carrying mini clamps to replace your hands and enable you to snooze.The current model base price is $38,500. Don’t expect the prices for the three iterations of the 2017 model to vary too much in the bottom line.

‘‘Technology enables the A4 to cruise up to 65 km/h autonomously, as long as you place your hands on the wheel every few seconds.’’Keith Morgan

SIDNEY — When Noone was just 15 years old, he achieved international fame as Herman, lead singer of the popular 1960s band Herman’s Her-mits.

He has been entertaining and delighting audi-ences almost all his life. When he was a child he played Stanley Fairclough in the well known and long-running British soap opera Coronation Street.

Having performed on hundreds of top-rated tele-vision programs and even making an appearance on Broadway, Noone is quite the entertainer.

He and his band Herman’s Hermits have consis-tently played to sold out shows in different parts

of the world and he even has a group of faithful fans known as ‘Noonatics’ who have stuck by him from the beginning.

Some of his classic hits include Silhouettes, Can’t You Hear My Heartbeat, Mrs. Brown and more.

Among his more than 60 million recordings sold, 14 singles and seven albums went gold and The Hermits were named twice as Cashbox’s Enter-tainer of the Year.

Noone is at the Mary Winspear Centre this Sun-day (Dec. 6) with two shows. One at 3 p.m. and the other beginning at 7:30 p.m. in the Bodine Hall. Tickets are $57.75 and can be purchased through the MWC box office at 250-656-0275. — Submitted

Carlie ConnollyNews staff

Popular Victoria-based tenor, Ken Lavigne will

be spreading holiday cheer, presenting his Christmas Old Time Radio Road Show with eight concerts on the Island — including right here in Sidney on Monday night.

With this being his first big Christmas tour, Lavigne will be giving a shout out to the great vintage radio show from the 1940s in a show just like those old time radio shows.

The concert features Christmas songs, sto-ries and drama. Lavi-gne will be performing Christmas favourites including the tradi-tional Jingle Bells, Little Drummer Boy, Baby Its Cold Outside and many more.

Lavigne will invoke the likes of Bing Crosby and perform modern takes on some of those seasonal classics. With his crew of talented performers, includ-ing special guests, the Company “B” Vocal Trio, the audience will hear the close resem-blance to the Andrews Sisters.

“Honestly a lot of people probably per-ceive me as that guy in the bow tie who sings classical music all the time and you know I actually like to show-case some of the versa-tility of the tenor voice,” said Lavigne in an inter-view. “And I love those old nostalgic classics. When I listen to the voice of Bing Crosby at Christmas time … it is Christmas to me.”

With this tour, Lav-ingne said he really wanted to do a nos-talgic shout out to the music that inspires him at Christmas time and so the holiday tour is unique to him.

He said he usually does a smaller tour, per-forming some shows on the Island because it’s where he’s from and it’s nice to be close to home.

“I just wanted to reach out to some of the communities that I haven’t been to in a while.”

Starting off the tour in Sidney, and having

performed here before, Lavigne will also be performing in Victo-ria, Campbell River, Nanaimo, Parksville, Comox and Chemainus.

An album has been in the works for a few months now and Lavi-gne said he hopes to have it released some time in the new year.

“Albums now seem to take a little bit more time simply because my touring schedule is so intense,” he said.

As for right now, Lavi-gne is getting ready for his show in Sidney this Monday at 7:30 p.m. in the Charlie White The-atre. at the Mary Win-spear Centre Tickets are $38 for adults and $18 for students. Peo-ple can call 250-656-0275.

So what does Lavigne like most about Christ-mas?

“Is it the rum and eggnog or is it the tur-key feast?” he said with a laugh. “What I enjoy most I think is the time when Christmas actu-ally finally rolls around, I get to decompress and just spend time with my family which is always a welcome.”

NORTH SAANICH — Jazz Vespers at St.

John’s United Church will welcome Heather Burns and Friends on Dec. 6 at 7 p.m.

Burns will be joined

by Dave Flello on trum-pet, Chris Newstead on Celtic whistle and vocals and Don Lep-pard on drums. They are in North Saanich for an evening of jazz stan-

dards and jazzy takes on Christmas songs.

Burns, a pianist, studied in L.A., Wash-ington, Winnipeg and Banff before settling in Victoria. She has per-

formed throughout Europe, the U.S. and Canada and has done extensive work as a musician, arranger, writer and music direc-tor. She is currently on

staff at Canadian Col-lege of Performing Arts and has released two CDs: Child’s Play in 2005 and Road Back Home in 2008.

Flello is a renowned trumpet player and educator in jazz and classical music. His sound and style inspire comparison to the great trumpet players Clifford Brown and Lee Morgan.

Flello holds a Mas-ter’s Degree in Classical Trumpet Performance from UBC and has been a leading educator in the Victoria public school system and jazz community for the last 20 years.

A crooner at heart, Newstead’s style reflects the influences of Frank Sinatra and

Bobby Darin. He per-forms with local big bands, small ensem-bles and as lead vocal-ist with the Dock Side Drive.

Veteran drummer Leppard is a staple of the Victoria jazz scene. Among his credentials are the leadership of the Don Leppard Trio and the Don Leppard Big Band. They have over two dozen European tours with the Cana-dian Armed Forces jazz band (which recorded some of Leppard’s arrangements) under their belts, appear-ances on national radio and television and even a gig as demonstration drummer at the Banff School of Fine Arts with the legendary jazz pia-nist, Oscar Peterson.

The Jazz Vespers series continues Janu-ary 3 with the McRae/Rhodes Trio and on Feb. 14 with Jamshed.

Jazz Vespers services begin at 7 p.m.

St. John’s United Church is located at 10990 West Saanich Road, across from Deep Cove School.

There is no admis-sion charge but an offering will be taken to cover the cost of the musicians and the Ves-pers program.

For further informa-tion, please call Berna-dette at 250-656-0875 or email her at [email protected] to be included on an email list of upcoming vespers services.

Steven HeywoodNews staff

The Victoria Spar-tans football club is off to the championship match in Langley this weekend, sporting four Saanich Peninsula play-ers.

Stefan Grunert, Con-nor Way, Max Har-ris and Ryder Heany make up a solid quar-tet of players for the Bantam-level (age 14 and 15) football team. Team Manager and Vice-President of the Victoria Spartans Foot-ball Association, Allen Lavoie, says the club went out looking for talented players in the spring and found the four — three from Stel-ly’s Secondary School and Way, who attends St. Michaels University School in Victoria.

This weekend, the team will be in Langley to face South Delta, the Vancouver Mainland Football League Ban-tam division’s defend-ing champions. Lavoie said the Spartans faced South Delta at the start of the season and allowed five touch-downs in the first half of the game.

Since that match, however, he said the Victoria team allowed only one major in com-

piling a 7-3 record, good for third place in the eight-team league.

The other two losses came at the hands of North Langley, he said, by scores of 3-2 and 4-3. In their recent semi-final game, Lavoie said Victoria showed

they can score, turning the tables and beating North Langley 24-8.

“The boys answered the bell,” he said, “and it came after a three-week payoff after the regular season.”

That win has pro-pelled them into the

final game Sunday at McLeod Stadium in Langley.

Grunert leads the Spartans this season in rushing and has scored the most touchdowns, said Lavoie.

He called the four Peninsula players the cornerstone of this season’s Bantam Spar-tans. Way, one of the four captains along with Heany, has been a solid defender and backup quarterback. Heany and Harris have been solid in their role as various backs.

The Victoria Spar-tans are a community-based club team and take players who attend school outside of the region’s big football schools, like Mt. Doug and Belmont. Lavoie said the club went look-ing for new players this past spring and in addi-tion to finding the Pen-insula products, they found enough players to revive their Midget team, which took one season off due to lack of players. This season, the Midgets also made their division final and the junior Bantam team won their Island cham-pionship.

The Spartans are currently the only club team at their age levels on the Island.

Jeff NagelBlack Press

VANCOUVER — Pri-vate and government

liquor stores should be authorized to sell recre-ational marijuana when the federal government delivers on its election

promise to bring in a new regulated system.

That’s the pitch com-ing from the B.C. Gov-ernment and Service

Employees’ Union, which represents gov-ernment store workers, and the B.C. Private Liquor Store Associa-

tion. The two groups, normally competitors, joined forces Wednes-day to argue their stores are well qualified

to responsibly handle legalized marijuana, alongside beer, wine and spirits.

“We haven’t been aligned in the past but we are aligned on this issue,” said Damian Kettlewell of the private stores association.

“We’re suggesting that we have the expe-rience and the knowl-edge and, eventually, the product training to sell this product in liquor stores.”

He emphasized the aim is to serve as the retailers for recre-ational pot only, and not compete with existing medical mari-juana providers. Liquor stores are already required to check ID to ensure patrons are over 19 to prevent alcohol purchases by youth, said BCGEU president Stephanie Smith.

“Liquor stores pro-vide the most strictly controlled system for accessing a controlled substance, and are best suited for the retailing of non-medical mari-juana,” Smith said. “We have an effective warehousing, retail and

distribution system in place. There is no need to reinvent the wheel.”

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has so far set no timeline to legalize and regulate non-medi-cal marijuana.

Asked if this an attempt to head off more pot stores spring-ing up and gaining local government approval, Kettlewell said there’s no need to create a new government bureau-cracy on pot sales.

“There are some dry communities in B.C. that do not sell liquor,” Kettlewell said. “If there’s a municipality out there that does not want the sale of non-medical marijuana in their community, we’d fully respect that.”

He noted provincial rules currently require a minimum one-kilome-tre separation between private liquor stores and he’d expect munici-palities that permit rec-reational pot would in most cases apply zon-ing rules that could further restrict loca-tions, potentially with minimum buffers from schools and parks.

Hotels and office buildings moved to key cards years ago and now the trend of going keyless is finally catching on in the home front.

Locksmiths at The Lock Doctor have seen a steady growth in the sale of elec-tric keypads as homeown-ers enjoy the convenience of going keyless.

“We have one customer who installed them [on every access] to his house,” said Nick Rahn of The Lock Doc-tor.

“His grandkids visit often and that way there’s no worry of keeping track of keys.”

Some expected numbered keypads to find their way onto the front doors of all residential homes by now but there’s still a chance it could trend that way, Rahn says.

“Right now the entry point for residential keypads are about $174 to $250 and the install time is nearly the same as it is for a traditional dead-

bolt.”People are enjoying the

freedom, Rahn said.Keys break, they get lost,

and keychains quickly grow to a cumbersome size.

What’s changed about the keyless keypads is the bat-tery life and durability of the locks.

“The batteries now can go for years, but we recommend replacing them when you replace the battery in your smoke alarm, just to be safe,” Rahn said.

Electric keypads do come with a manual key entry should the battery die.

“One of the benefits is some of electric keypads can be programmed to carry 19 entry codes at a time, a handy thing for contractor or other workers that need access to the home,” Rahn said.

Rahn’s best seller is the Schlage BE 365 series, a dura-ble keypad starting at $174. Prices vary on the style and finish of the keypad, such as the Emtek touchscreen model. — Black Press

Going keyless for home security

Nick Rahn of The Lock Doctor says electric keypads are gaining in popularity for a variety of reasons; going keyless is chief among them.

If you were to purchase any property listed by any full commission agent (say a property selling for $600,000)

using me as your agent of choice and I will...

THEN CONSIDER THIS!

If you were to list your home with me (for example for $600,000), you would save $14,100 compared to listing with a full commission agent charging 6% for the � rst

$100,000 plus 3% on the balance.
