Firefighters Brian Thomas (North Saanich), Jeff Tomlin (Sidney) and Stacey Lee (Central Saanich) join Bev Elder of the Sidney Lions Food Bank to announce the upcoming joint fire department food drive on Dec. 13.

Steven HeywoodNews staff

When people give generously, it’s the peo-ple who use the Sidney Lions Food Bank

who benefit the most.That’s the hope of Saanich Peninsula fire-

fighters who this week announced their first joint food drive on Dec. 13.

In years past, each of the North and Cen-

tral Saanich and Sidney fire departments held food drives independent of one another.

The December 1 inaugural meeting of the Central Saanich municipal council saw the swearing in of three new coun-cillors as well as the investiture of a new mayor for the community.

Incumbent councillors Alicia Cornier, Carl Jenson and Zeb King returned and were joined by new councillors Chris-topher Graham, Niall Paltiel and Bob Thompson.

Former Councillor Ryan Windsor took the oath of office before a standing-room-only chamber of well wishers, including his three year old daughter Kyla.

“She hasn’t had her nap today, so I’m not sure that she’s going to last,” said Mayor Windsor before the meeting as he held his little girl in his arms.

Kyla persevered and she, along with the other gallery members, watched as her father, the mayor, and all of the coun-cillors rose to take the oath of office, administered by Judge David Pendleton.

Those collections of pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and more are starting to pile up at home or at the office.

So why not help a child and their family this holiday season by donat-ing those coins to the Peninsula News Review’s annual Coins For Kids cam-paign?

As of Wednesday, Dec. 3, the official tally sat at just over $104.

But that changed suddenly when a gen-tleman brought in $200 in rolled coins this week. Those will be added to next week’s count.

The News Review is collecting coins of any denomination (paper money and cheques are also accepted) in our annual effort to raise money to help children in need.

This year’s campaign will again help the Saanich Peninsula Toys For Tots effort.

Founded by Rob McMillan and this year being run by the staff at Sidney’s Mary Winspear Centre, Toys For Tots hopes to buy gifts for girls and boys, young and old, to help make their Christmas a little better.

McMillan says he’s happy the Winspear Centre stepped up to take on the heavy lifting, including collecting the toys, wrap-ping them (with the help of a lot of vol-unteers) and taking them to the Sidney Lions Food Bank for distribution. People wishing to donate toys for boys and girls can drop them off at the Mary Winspear Centre, TD Bank in Sidney, the local ANA-

VETS branch and at the food bank itself.Familes wishing to take part in the

Toys for Tots program can register at the food bank. Last year, the program helped around 500 families, McMillan said, get-ting gifts to children in need.

“We do a lot for the youth in this area,” he said.

Volunteers will be at the Winspear Cen-tre Dec. 13 and 14 to wrap all the toys. They will be distributed starting Dec. 15, McMilan said.

Last year, News Review readers donated more than $2,400 to the Coins For Kids campaign. We hope they will meet or beat that amount this year.

Look for Coins for Kids donation cans in Peninsula businesses. Drop off coins at the Peninsula News Review office at 103-9830 Second St. in Sidney.

Other drop-off points include:• Panorama Recreation Centre• Greenglade Community Centre• Sidney Bakery on Beacon Avenue• Muffet & Lousia on Beacon Avenue.

Coin collection is growingToys for Tots effort on the Saanich Peninsula supported by fundraiser

This year’s wrapping of gifts for boys and girls on the Saanich Peninsula begins Dec. 13 at the Mary Winspear Centre. In previous years, the Toys For Tots campaign did their wrapping wherever they could find space, like at Rob McMillan’s former business, the Canoe Cove Restaurant.

A Sea King helicopter from 443 Maritime Heli-copter Squadron made

an emergency landing at the Victoria Inter-national Airport Tues-day, Dec. 2 following an unscheduled water landing.

Major Dale Arndt, operations officer for the squadron, says they are hosting a Sea King operations unit from the east coast this

week and next and the incident occurred dur-ing a training sortie south of Victoria.

“A student pilot in training inadvertently conducted a water landing in our opera-tional area south of Vic-toria,” he explained.

While the aircraft are designed to land in and take off from

water, Arndt said this landing was not part of the training plan at the time.

The helicopter took off from the water, Arndt continued, saying the instructor ended the training session and declared an emergency. The Sea King flew back to the Victoria airport and landed without

further incident. Arndt said no one was injured and the aircraft was not damaged.

Arndt said the squad-ron’s Sea Kings, while designed to land in water, are more than 50 years old. They do not regularly perform this type of landing, he continued, as sea water has an impact on the

aircraft.Flights are sus-

pended for the rest of the day but train-ing was expected to resume this week.

Arndt said there will be an investigation into what happened on that flight, looking into the causes — both from aircraft and human angles.

Sidney’s new mayor kicked off the next term of town council with a detailed account of the past six years under his predecessor — and his vow to continue that work over the next four years.

Councillors Bar-bara Fallot, Tim Chad, Mervyn Lougher-Goodey, Cam McClen-nan Erin Bremner and Mayor Steve Price were sworn in Dec. 1 under the watchful gaze of the Honourable Associate Chief Judge Brian Neal. Councillor Peter Wain-wright did not attend the meeting.

In his inaugural address, Price paid tribute to former mayor Larry Cross, crediting him for setting Sidney on its current path — a direction Price vowed to maintain.

“A lot was accom-plished the last term,” Price said during his speech. “The Town remained financially responsible … won awards and celebrated anniversaries and retirements and saw a lot of change.”

Price credited Cross for steering Sidney through the economic crash after 2008. Price vowed to continue that hard work as Sidney’s next mayor, as well as operate the municipal-ity in a transparent and inclusive manner.

He also paid tribute to local volunteers like Sheilah Fea and Ted Daly of the Peninsula Celebrations Society. Both, he said, have announced they plan on retiring from their roles with the Society.

In his outline for the next four years, Price said he wants to see council further the work of the Mayor’s

Task Force on down-town revitalization.

“There’s a new era ahead,” he continued. “Already we are under a new economic cli-mate.”

There are a variety of projects on the mayor’s list for the next four years. Price said the Town is planning on a “robust public consul-tation” in 2015 for a proposed new fire hall on property next to Sid-ney Elementary School. Other projects include redevelopment of Bea-con Wharf — with a look to establishing a passenger ferry ser-vice between Sidney and the Gulf Islands — starting a planning pro-cess involving the West Sidney industrial area and investigating the idea of establishing an economic development function in Sidney.

“Coming up,” Price continued, “ this coun-cil will also have to (make decisions) on upcoming downtown development propos-als.

“This council (in the past) has set a bench-mark of good gover-

nance and good behav-iour,” Price said, cred-iting that to current and outgoing council-lors and former mayor Cross.

Apart from ongoing orientation sessions for the newly-elected poli-ticians, Sidney council gets down to business at its first committee of the whole meeting on Dec. 8. It’s first regular meeting takes place Mon., Dec. 15.

Wainwright, said Chief Administrative Officer Randy Humble, was ill and unable to attend the ceremony. Under the Community Charter, Humble will be able to swear him in and sign off on Wain-wright’s oath of office. That, Humble said, will happen before coun-cil’s Dec. 8 meeting.

New mayor vows to follow established pathSidney’s new council sworn in; new era ahead says Mayor Steve Price


Sidney Mayor Steve Price is sworn in by Honourable Associate Cheif Judge Brian Neal.

Young councillors ready for their new jobSidney council has two young faces at the table this term — Erin

Bremner and Cam McClennan — and they’re chomping at the bit to get started.

McClennan says he was a tad nervous taking the oath of office but added he has been getting ready to work — and isn’t nervous about that. Tops on his list of short-term goals is to tackle the affordable housing issue on the Peninsula.

“I have been work-ing with Elizabeth May’s committee on the issue,” he said, adding he wants it on the table this term.

McClennan added he thinks the new council is a good group of people and is happy with his council committee appointments — which allow him to maintain a balance with his full-time work and family life.

Bremner said she’s excited to be working with a good team on council, adding she has found time to meet her political counterparts in the orientation sessions being run out of Esquimalt.

“They had around 100 new councillors there,” she said.In the short term, Bremner said she wants to get used to the pace

and process of local government, noting her learning curve will be quite steep. As a business owner, she continued, the priorities of the Mayor’s Task Force will be hers as well.

“Having a solid business community is key to living in Sidney,” she said.

Seasons Greetings


This year, they’ve decided to join forces to better reach out to the community as a whole.

This doesn’t mean the edge of a little friendly com-petition is completely lost — the food drive “Stanley Cup” made of coffee cans serves as a reminder that the departments still like to do their best. Sidney firefighter Jeff Tomlin says it’s called the Tri-Municipal Christmas Food Drive Cup.

“Certainly, there’s still pride involved,” added Brian Thomas of the North Saanich Fire Department.

“But the only winner is really the food bank,” added Tomlin.

All three departments will be out in their respec-tive communities Sat., Dec. 13 collecting food and cash donations for the food bank.

Central Saanich firefighters will be in Brentwood Bay and Saanichton between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

North Saanich firefighters start at Kelset Elementary School at 1:30 p.m. and will travel through the Dean Park area until 3:30 p.m.

The Sidney fire depart-ment will be on the streets between 4 and 8 p.m.

In Central Saanich, fire-

fighter Rob Syverson said paper bags will find their way to people’s homes in the food drive areas.

“Hopefully, people won’t recycle it, but fill it and leave it our for us,” he said.

North Saanich and Sid-ney won’t have bags out in advance and hope residents will use their own bags to donate to the food drive.

Bev Elder, executive direc-tor of the Sidney Lions Food Bank, said the firefighters event is the second-largest food drive of the year for them (the largest being in the spring by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints). Last year, the firefighters’

effort collected enough food to supply the food bank for four months. Organizers are hoping to meet that mark or surpass it this year.

The Sidney Lions Food Bank has been serving the community for 32 years and reach up to 1,200 people (or 320 households) each month. The local food bank is classified at the 25th larg-est in B.C.

Elder noted that the food bank is looking to shore up its supplies of canned soup, macaroni dinner, canned veg-etables and fruit, personal hygiene items, juice, rice, dried soup, sugar and [email protected]

Windsor then acknowledged the outgoing mayor, Alastair Bryson, and former councillors John Garrison and Cathie Oun-sted; thanking them for their ser-vice to the community.

During his inaugaral address the mayor spoke of Central Saan-ich as a “special place … a mix of urban and rural cultures located on a major transportation hub.” He referenced the competing land use requirements of the Dis-trict and called for a comprehen-sive development policy that would balance those sometimes conflicting land use interests.

“Our community embraces the full range of activity, from generational farms to com-mercial ventures to residential requirements. All of these com-ponents together make us a strong and diverse community,” he said.

“From farms to high tech … from residential to commercial uses … we have to find a way to effectively and fairly accommo-date the needs of all of the part-ners within Central Saanich.”

He also acknowledged the important role played by that the First Nations within the District of Central Saanich and

emphasized the need to be inclu-sive of their concerns within the community.

Other issues raised by Wind-sor during his address included concerns as varied as climate change and disaster preparad-ness. He emphasized that today’s council is working with the results of “yesterday’s plan-ning”, and acknowledged that the work of previous councils had allowed the community to develop to this point. He said

that it was the current council’s responsibility to now plan for the future and leave those plans as a legacy for the community of tomorrow.

“All of this has to be done within the framework of a fis-cally responsible approach,” said Windsor.

The meeting concluded with appointments to the various Standing Committees of Council as well as the CRD representa-tives for Central Saanich.

B.C. Ferries has upgraded its fleet, but its point-of-sall system is 25 years old and requires manual fare collection.

Tom FletcherBlack Press

B.C. Ferries plans to move ahead with a website upgrade that will allow passengers to pay for tickets online, avoid reserva-tion fees and pay variable fares depending on demand.

The computer upgrade is to be phased in starting in 2017, with a pilot project for passen-gers on the main Vancouver-Van-couver Island runs. The system will offer discounted fares for off-peak sailings and advance book-ing without the current reserva-tion fees.

B.C. Ferries CEO Mike Cor-rigan said the project will cost $10-15 million, but based on the experience of other systems, it will increase ridership and reduce costs.

“It’s a variable priced book-

ing system that’s used by golf courses, hotels, airlines,” Corri-gan said. “It’s the way the world is moving. Depending how far in advance you book, what restric-tions you’re willing to put on yourself and when you want to play, stay or travel, you’re going to get a different price.”

The price range will be deter-mined by the pilot projects. Passengers will still have the option of showing up at the terminal and paying to board, with a posted price that will be adjusted according to demand for that sailing.

The new booking system was proposed two years ago in a review of ferry opera-tions by Gord Macatee, who reviewed operations when he was appointed B.C. Ferries Com-missioner in charge of rates and service delivery. Macatee must

approve the move before it can go ahead.

B.C. Ferries’ point-of-sale sys-tem is 25 years old, and requires manual collection of fares.

B.C. Ferries projects the new system will increase vehicle and passenger traffic by three to five per cent as it is extended to more routes. By adding food, gift shop and other services to the online order system, the cor-poration hopes to generate an annual revenue increase of $11 million to $18 million, mostly due to increased traffic.

“People can actually pay for the full ferry service, including the buffet, maybe, and some other services when they pay, so when they get to the ferry ter-minal, they’re basically just veri-fying their purchase and moving onboard the vessel,” Corrigan said.

B.C. Ferries moves to online booking system

YOUR VIEW

One of the problems in the climate debate is measurement accuracy, including variation in data.

People talk as though climate temperature is known to one-hundredth of a degree, which perhaps a new well-sited properly equipped station could measure to in theory, but reality is that we’d be lucky if ground measurements are within a degree of reality. Accuracy is critical because we are looking at small changes, even by alarmist claims.

Variations include siting of thermometer stations to avoid heating from pavement or aircraft exhaust (as many are on airports), and distribution of stations (at one time NASA represented all of Canada north of 60 degrees with one station, which for historical reasons of access was poorly sited). Even the new best database is dependent on those raw readings, but at least it’s adjustments are clearly documented — unlike older ones.

That variation allows people like James K. Finley to claim, in your Nov. 26, 2014 issue, that recent years are the warmest on record. What he omits is they barely are and that “on record” only covers about 150 years of reasonably accurate thermometer records. So, there’s an omission that climate was warmer in the Medieval Warm Period when Vikings farmed Greenland (archaeologists have determined that.)

Then there are satellite sensors, which are much more representative of the complete planet so useful for trend monitoring (they are not an

absolute measurement because they were calibrated to the surface record after launch). Most interestingly, they do not show nearly as much warming as surface databases do.

What the 15-year pause shows is that no one knows how to predict climate.

Democracy, not oilgarchyOur elected municipal leaders

need education on democracy and the reasons they were elected by Central Saanich residents — to serve and represent the needs of

the people. Elected officials should not push their own agendas on us.

I attended a hearing on Oct. 8 regarding a development at 7878 East Saanich Rd., a five-story build-ing next to Thrifty Foods.

A large group of concerned citizens turned out to oppose the development, with concerns about pedestrian safety, building height, lack of parking space, lack of green space, lack of wheelchair access and more.

The public’s input was ignored and council passed the develop-ment, including the newly-elected mayor, Ryan Windsor.

This development will now pro-ceed, ignoring the concerns and issues raised by residents — includ-ing violating the municipality’s own building regulations.

The mayor and council of the day imposed their personal visions on our community. It is an oligarchy when power rests with a small num-ber of people — not a democracy. The fact they are asking for our input into how Saanichton Village should look is questionable, since they impose their own vision.

Let this be a reminder that we live in a democracy.

The council and mayor are employed by us and paid from our tax dollars to serve and represent the needs and decisions of the majority of the residents of Central Saanich.

It’s a four-year waitQ

uestions still surround the issue of amalgamation in Greater Victoria following the Nov. 15 civic election.

Premier Christy Clark recently echoed what the province has stated

— since most municipalities in the region put questions on amalgamation on the ballot during the vote — that the province won’t force amalgamation on anyone.

What the muncipalities are hoping for, is that the province will fund a major study of the impact of amalgamation. On the Saanich Peninsula, municipal

leaders here hope that study will include a variety of options.

Sidney, Central Saanch and North Saanich asked voters specifically if they’d like more information about a possible merger with each other — not any other regional communities. Should this specific option not be included in a region-wide study, it could give local politicians the will to invoke that whole “non-binding” thing and throw out the Nov. 15 result.

That probably won’t happen, as politicians could simply use the passage of time to change voters’ minds. There’s certainly no one rushing around here to see the province’s study on amalgamation done soon.

Clark said Greater Victoria’s vote appears to focus on the sharing of services. At least in that regard, the Peninsula is ahead of the curve.

As the sewage treatment debate rages on in most of the 13 municipalities, not so here. The three communities here partnered on their own sewage treatment plant years ago and by most accounts there’s room to grow.

North Saanich and Sidney share RCMP services and all three contribute to the Capital Regional District to provide recreational services. Sidney Councillor Tim Chad would like to see the Peninsula municipalities take that over from the CRD, but that’s another matter.

Don’t expect quick action on amalgamation. It will take at least another four years before electors have the chance to weigh in again.

A little publicity was all that David Clark needed to find 53 names of people who had served with the Sidney Rangers during the Second World War.

Clark, an author from Victoria, collected pho-tographs, stories and muster rolls in his book Pacific Coastal Militia Rangers — a publica-tion he told Peninsula News Review readers about back in June of this year.

It’s a pictorial history of coastal militias that were formed to help protect B.C.’s coast.

Ranger units formed following the bomb-ing of Pearl Harbor in 1942, Clark says. They were informal groups of men and boys age 13 to 87 and were unpaid volunteers. They were eventually placed under the control of the Department of National Defence (DND) at the time. Armed with their personal rifles and outfitted in their own clothes and often their own scrounged equipment, the Rang-ers throughout B.C. guarded vital infra-structure and coast-lines against an attack from Japan. While their equipment gradually improved, the Rangers were still considered a sort of home guard — local people who knew well their own back-

yards.Clark said he reached

out to the community to get more informa-tion about Rangers from the Saanich Pen-

insula. Details about who served with units in Sidney, Brentwood Bay and on James Island were few and far between. Clark said the

units were put together and disbanded so quickly between 1942 and 1945 that DND and national archival records are scarce.

So he visited Brad Morrison at the Sidney Archives. Morrison, he said, has some 280-plus articles and clippings of the Sidney Rangers, taken from the pages of the Sidney and Islands Review (what is today the PNR).

At the same time, Clark said the article

helped get him in touch with an 87-year-old for-mer member of the Rangers in Duncan. The man’s amazing stories and the information on the Sidney Rangers unit Co. 3 will be compiled into a supplement to Clark’s book.

“The book is getting more widely-known now,” he said. “People are telling me stories of what their parents and grandparents were doing.”

The Sidney Rangers

(or Saanich Rangers Company 3 — Sidney) were organized under Col. Cyrus Wesley Peck.

Some of the compa-ny’s members included: Capt. Dr. William New-ton, CSM A. Sansbury, Cpl. A.W. Aylard, Sgt. J. Tindell, Cpl. H.L. With-erby, J. Woods (Quar-termaster Sergeant until March, 1943), R. Dickson, F. Turner, Sgt. Harold D. Payne, Sgt. H.G. Horth and Col. J.C. deBalinhard (a veteran of the Boer War).

The choir is called All Ages Together in Song and the concept is designed to allow everyone from pre-schoolers to senior citi-zens to join together in making a joyful sound for the holiday season.

“We have about 60

members right now and they range from elementary school children to adults to senior citizens,” said Sue Coneys, the choir’s spokesperson.

“It’s a non-audition choir, made up of people who just love to sing … and sing together. The original concept was to create a

way for parents, grand-parents and children to all join in song, and we’ve managed to do that with spectacular results.”

On Tuesday, Decem-ber 9 the group will be performing An Old Fashioned Carol Sing-along at the Cordova Bay United Church. The performance starts at

7 p.m. and will feature songs that have been specifically arranged to allow for all ages to be heard.

“It’s a fabulous con-cept and one that really captures the spirit of the season,” said Coneys. “After all, Christmas truly is all about family and com-munity, isn’t it”

The choir will be joined by members of the Central Middle School Choir, directed by Marianne Ing and the Victoria Conserva-tory Vocal Jazz Ensem-ble, directed by Louise Rose.

Tickets are $15.00 ($20 at the door) and are available at Ivy’s Book Shop (Oak Bay Ave.) and Tanner’s Books in Sidney. Chil-dren under 12 will be admitted at no cost.

More information on the choir and how to join can be found at www.victoriagood-newschoir.com.

Celtic Yuletide in SidneyCookeilidh comes to the Mary Winspear CentreTim CollinsNews staff

Nothing captures our modern Christmas spirit more effectively than the high energy and haunt-ing melodies of Celtic Yuletide music and the lively spirit of Celtic dance.

Sidney will have an opportu-nity to embrace that spirit of the season when Cookeilidh, A Celtic Yuletide takes the stage at the Charlie White Theatre on December 12.

“It’s a chance for people to bring in the season through laughter, singing, great music ... a chance to tap your feet and feel the spirit of Christmas,” said Kim Cook of Cookeilidh.

Of course, one needn’t search too far beneath our Christmas traditions to find the roots of Celtic Pagan rituals and beliefs. In fact, the rapid propagation of Christianity throughout Europe in the first millennium was largely due to the willingness of Christian leaders to incor-porate the rituals, beliefs, and customs of other religions and make them their own. And none of the ancient religions were more assimilated than those held in the lands of shamrocks and thistle.

“Back in Ireland, it was a fes-tival of light after the harvest,” said Kim Cook, one of Cooklei-lidh’s four talented musicians. “It was dark and they would light candles and celebrate with music, food, stories, poetry, dance ... and yes, maybe a little drinking.”

“We do a lot of the traditional music, to be sure,” said Dave Cook, the group’s leader.

“But we’ve modernized some of it to bring in a little variety. In all, we just have a lot of fun, and it’s infectious ... people leave the shows with a spring in their step

and a smile on their face.”

More than 100 years after opening,Brown’sThe Florist isn’t resting on itslaurels, the fl oristrecently won Best Flower Shopin Victoria, Best Flower Shop on the Peninsulaand was voted a fi nalist for ‘Best New Business on theWest Shore’ by the West Shore Chamber of Commerce. “I think it’s fantastic to see a locally owned business doing well in all three markets,” says owner Natasha Crawford, a strong supporter of local business. “Honestly, we’re beyond thrilled and humbled that Victoria and Sidney continue to love their Brown’s shops, and just so excited to see the West Shore community embrace us.” Q: Brown’s is more than 100 years old. What is the secret to its success? It’s a number of things. First and foremost, it’s due to the amazing people who work here. I think I can speak for all of us when I say we love our jobs, and we see that refl ected back to us. Most of our team have been here a long time—six of them for over 15 years, two for more than 30, and almost everyone else for over fi ve. Knowing our customers and creating something that helps them convey a feeling is a huge joy for us. Our managers empower the entire team to provide excellent customer service. Staff are encouraged to treat every order as if it were the only one of the day which is great on every level. We are always looking at how we can improve. Part of that was expanding to the West Shore which allows us to have fl owers delivered almost anywhere from Sidney to Sooke before noon. Q: You are very committed to the community. As a small business, how do you make it a priority? For starters, we use our advertising budget! We spend over 50 per cent of our ad dollars in support of community fundraisers and events. I also support organizations with my time, like the BIA in Sidney, the Harbourside Rotary Club and Think Local First Victoria. We choose to support local businesses, such as fl ower growers on the Island, Eurosa Gardens and Mt. Newton Greenhouses. They employ local people —and they work hard to get the freshest fl owers possible. They care where and how the fl owers are grown, which is important to us. We buy over 75 per cent of our fl owers in BC. This is good for the economy and the environment as Canadian regulations mean fewer pesticides. When we can’t support local we buy Fair Trade from around the world. Q: Each of your stores produce just one bag of trash every two weeks. How do you do it? Compost, compost, compost and recycle, recycle recycle! Q: With the holiday season upon us, what is the trend for Christmas decor? For decor, Classic Christmas colours, white, red and green, are always beautiful. This year gold is big and we’re also seeing the natural trend in decor, which reminds me of a rustic lodge at Christmas. Q: Why are fl oral arrangements a great gift for the holidays? An arrangement touches many of the senses. It makes a home look and smell like Christmas— fresh evergreen pine, cinnamon and paper white fl owers. And there is so much thoughtfulness that goes in to a fl oral piece—the work of farmers, pickers, fl orists. In a modern society like ours, it’s nice to fi nd something that was handmade and cared for. Brown’s The Florist wishes you and your family a warm and festive holiday season. Thank you for shopping local, and supporting the local economy.

Call or visit Brown’s the Florist in downtown Victoria, Sidney, or the new West Shore location. Brown’s delivers seven days a week, and you can order anytime on their website brownsfl orist.com.

New Year’s Resolution: Hot rides and buys for 2015Here are what I consider to be five important cars for 2015.

Mazda MX-5Over the last few years Mazda has been introducing vehicles with its new Skyactiv technology but there is one car that will signify the culmination of all the things Mazda does well, the next generation MX-5 (Miata). The MX-5 will come in 2015 as a 2016 model and all eyes are on Mazda to see what it can deliver. The bodywork is more dramatic and having seen it in person, the dimensions look fanatic but the new front grille might take a while to adapt too. The two-seat cockpit is roomier, thanks to a wider body and longer wheelbase but the overall length is 105mm shorter and 20mm lower. The 2.0L Skyactiv direct injection 4-cylinder will power this lightweight car and power will go to the rear wheels though a 6-speed manual transmission. Engine output has not been announced, neither has the price, but expect the car to be competitive with the 2015 model on price.

Ford ExplorerThe sixth generation Ford Explorer will arrive in 2015 as a 2016 model, now with new 2.3L EcoBoost engine available on the base and XLT trim. This replaces the older 2.0L Ecoboost and provides a 270hp, a 13 per cent bump over the last version. The 290hp 3.5L V6 is carried over but the Sport trim and new Platinum trim will be fitted with the 365hp Ecoboost V6. Ford claims that styling is the number one purchase consideration so the shape was retained but new grille and LED headlamps help refresh the look.

This sixth generation Explorer marks the 25th anni-versary of the iconic SUV, with over 350,000 sold in Canada so far.

2015 Jeep RenegadeThere is no question that the merger of Fiat and Chrysler has helped to introduce many new vehicles. The small car segment is a perfect example; the Fiat

500 and its variations has been a plus for Chrysler’s bottom line. Built in Europe on the Fiat 500L platform, this smaller Jeep Renegade replaces the Compass and Patriot models. Powered by either a 160hp, 1.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder or a larger 184hp, 2.4L 4-cylinder, Jeep claims that this compact crossover is still a capable vehicle because of two available all-wheel-drive (AWD) systems.

The standard models will be available with front-wheel-drive (FWD), with either a 6-speed manual or 9-speed automatic transmission. Styling is all-American; the signature Jeep grille is mar-ried perfectly into the boxy design, as too are other Jeep styling cues. The interior is has a rugged, yet upscale design that features all of Jeep’s latest technology, including the award winning Uconnect infotainment system. Pricing has not been announced but expect it shortly as it is due at dealerships very soon.

Honda HR-VComing in 2015 is another SUV, smaller than the CR-V, helping to define the new subcompact SUV market. This little runabout is built off the excellent Honda Fit platform and will include many of the features that make that car a standout. The first is the interior of the HR-V. It will also feature Honda’s Magic Seats that flip

and fold for amazing versatility. The same 1.8L 4-clinder engine with 138hp will power this vehicle, either with FWD or AWD, through a continuously variable trans-mission or 6-cpeed manual. Pricing will be introduced closer to the introduction this coming spring. Built in Mexico, the HR-V will give Honda the same leg up that the original CR-V did for the small SUV segment.

Chevrolet VoltIt might surprise many people that the best selling electric car in Canada is the Chevrolet Volt, not the sexy Tesla Model S. There are many reasons for this, mainly the fact that the Volt provides all-electric transporta-tion for 65 kms but with the aid of a small 4-cylinder generator to extend the range over 300 kms. This car has all of the upside of an electric car with none of the range limiting restrictions. In 2015, Chevrolet will intro-duce the second generation of Chevrolet Volt, one that hopes to improve on the usability of the car in terms of comfort and electric driving range. General Motors will showcase the next generation car in January at the Detroit Auto Show and the company’s CEO has stated that the new car “will store more energy in its battery pack with fewer cells, yet go further on a charge.” General Motors claims that 80 per cent of current Volt owners commute entirely on electric power, so any improvement to range will help increase this number. The Volt isn’t a huge volume seller for General Motors but this new model will help the company to showcase what it can do technologically. General Motors has the capability to produce some the most advanced cars on the road.

DrivewayBC.caEye catching hues on shiny new wheelsFive stylish sets of wheels for 2015

By Alexandra Straub

When it comes to picking a shade to best represent your vehicular product, sometimes silver or a black just won’t do.There were some standout hues on vehicles displayed at the recent LA Auto Show, goodness knows which, if any of them, will make it your local showrooms. Here are a few vehicles that not only had flair, but the paintwork to match.

2015 Ford EdgeIf the name “Electric Spice” doesn’t grab your attention, then the actual colour itself will. You could label it as bright gold. But not a gaudy gold. Yes, it’s bright, and probably will repulse some crossover shoppers, but it doesn’t look half bad on the 2015 Ford Edge.

2015 Chevrolet Spark Lime and Electric Blue are just some

colours you will find on Chevrolet’s pint-sized cars. While they might not attract your gaze because of their size, they can certainly catch your eye because of their electrifying tones.

2015 Mercedes-Benz GLAWhile you might not be able to option your new Mercedes-Benz GLA out with this paintwork, it’s pretty darn cool. Mr. Brainwash, an LA-based but world-renowned street artist, part-nered with Mercedes-Benz to create a one-of-a-kind GLA crossover that toured eight cities. Aside from it being awesome, you can see that the paint literally got everywhere. 2015 Dodge Charger and ChallengerDon’t call me baby, even if it might be blue. The head-turning colour I’m referring to is the B5 Bly that was draped over Dodge’s two new models: the Challenger and Charger. You can see it from miles away, and whether you option it out on the sedan or coupe, you’re bound to get some

attention. That’s if your HEMI isn’t doing its job!

2015 Nissan JukeLove it or hate it, the Nissan Juke is here to stay. And rightfully so. If you can get past its quirky looks, it’s quite a fun vehicle to drive. But what would a Juke be without some exterior zest? For 2015, it is redesigned and offers a long list of standard tech features, more connectivity and importantly, a way to stand out in the crowd. With Nissan’s Color Studio, Juke owners can find nearly unlimited color per-sonalization for their new ride.Grey and orange, anyone?

Lexus LF-C2 ConceptI think the metallic sunbeam-like yel-low speaks for itself, don’t you think?

By Rob Rothwell

You can pay a fortune for a premium brand but you needn’t break the bank to buy wheels with style.

Chrysler 200 (starting MSRP $19,945)Chrysler stunned the marketplace with the introduction of its completely new 200 Sedan, resetting benchmarks for style, panache, and performance within a fiercely competitive segment. And with a starting MSRP of just $19,945, the 200 undercuts many of its competitors, yet its real strength is found in its range of trim levels and power options. The base engine is a 2.4L four-cylinder affair that feeds 184 horsepower to the front wheels through a segment-exclusive nine-speed automatic transmission. Going upscale in the 200 brings with it Chrysler’s powerful 295 horsepower Pentastar 3.6L V6 engine paired with the nine-speed autobox and all-wheel-drive traction. Standard features include eight airbags, Keyless Enter ‘n Go, and Chrysler’s Uconnect 3.0 multimedia centre. Options include Blind Spot Monitor-ing, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, and Active Park Assist. With four distinct trim levels, the Chrysler 200 can match the wherewithal of many pocket-books while employing the latest in safety and technology to deliver an affordable upscale driving experience.Fuel Economy:2.4L I-4 10.2L/6.4L100km city/highway3.6L V6 12.4L/7.5L100km city/highway

Acura TLX (base MSRP $34,900) The four-door Acura TLX Sedan replaces the former TSX and TL sport sedans, merging their respective strengths into a single product positioned as the brand’s mid-level contender. With a base sticker of $34,900, the TLX delivers plenty of sport-inspired luxury built around a 206 horsepower 2.4L four-cylinder power plant fused to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Propulsion is directed frontward unless the V6 Technolo-gy Package and Acura’s Super-Handling All-Wheel-Drive system with torque vectoring are opted for. In which case, all four wheels share in 290 horsepower produced by the 3.5L SOHC i-VTEC mill. A sophisticated nine-speed automatic transmission further contributes to the engaging performance of the V6-powered TLX. In addition to a more rigid body structure, the TLX provides increased safety and collision avoidance with the use of technology such as Jewel Eye LED headlights, Lane Departure Warn-ing, Forward Collision Warning, and Blind Spot Information with Cross Traffic Warning. Comfort and convenience essentials include the availability of premium 10-speaker au-dio along with voice-activated navigation.Fuel Economy: 2.4L I-4 9.6L/6.6L/100km city/highway3.5L V6 11.2L/6.9L/100km city/highway

Audi A3 (base MSRP $31,100) Looking remarkably like the highly success-ful Audi A4 Sedan despite casting a shadow 245mm shorter, the new A3 Sedan is sure to capture the attention of entry-level Audi buyers that scorn the A3’s hatchback design despite the vehicle’s praiseworthy

driving dynamics and general practicality. Pricing for the new A3 Sedan starts at $31,100 with the 170 horsepower 1.8L TFSI I-4 power plant turning the front wheels through the auspices of Audi’s six-speed S tronic automatic gearbox. Upping the ante to $35,900 secures a 220 horsepower 2.0L TFSI I-4 connected to all four corners via Audi’s quattro all-wheel-drive technology. Diesel power is also available in the A3 Se-dan, though paired only with front-wheel-drive. Option combinations include Audi’s Styling Package, Navigation Package, and their sport-oriented S line Package. Audi has always been a technology leader, and the A3 Sedan shares in that reputation with a vast array of onboard safety and protection systems.Fuel Economy: TBD

Mercedes-Benz C 300 Sedan - C400 Sedan (base MSRP C 300 $43,000 - C400 $51,400)Despite slotting beneath the venerable E-Class in the Mercedes-Benz hierarchy of sedans, the new C-Class Sedan takes on a notably formal appearance and a more upscale demeanor for 2015. It’s also lighter and more powerful thanks to the extensive use of aluminum and a pair of revised engines. The C 300 receives a turbocharged 2.0L I-4 power plant capable of 241 horsepower. Need more oomph? A 3.0L twin-turbo V6 places 329 horsepower under the hood of the C 400. Both engines feed all four wheels through Mercedes-Benz’s 4MATIC all-wheel-drive technology. The sole use of 4MATIC is a Canadian-market exclusive. Along with new sheet metal and a lavishly-appointed cabin, the C-Class is equipped with the latest generation of COMMAND by Mercedes-Benz. This highly sophisticated infotainment/navigation system is lifted directly from the S-Class flagship. Audiophiles will appreciate the availability of Burmester surround-sound audio components, which are hand-made in Germany. Fuel Economy: C 300 10.9L/7.5L/100km city/highway C 400 11.1L/8.4L/100km city/highway

BMW 228i – M235i (base MSRP 228i $36,000 - M235i $48,750)Reminiscent of the legendary 1968 BMW 2002 Coupe, today’s 228i and M235i Coupes combine the outstanding driving dynamics of the stubby BMW 1-Series Coupe, which they replace, with a sleeker, more aggressive interpretation of the iconic brand’s ethos. The 228i is the tamer of the pair, but with 241 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque, its 2.0L twin-turbocharged I-4 engine delivers highly spirited performance nonetheless. If outright exhilaration is the target, the M235i is the ticket. Its twin-tur-bocharged 3.0L I-6 mill produces 322 horse-power and 332 lb.-ft. of endless torque. For true driver-oriented motoring, both vehicles can be fitted with a 6-speed manual gear-box in place of the new 8-speed automatic transmission. BMW’s xDrive all-wheel-drive traction is also available, but can only be paired with the automatic transmission. With the availability of a manual gearbox backed by a choice of turbocharged power plants, the new BMW 2-Series may just be the “ultimate driving machine.”Fuel Economy:228i 9.1L/5.6L/100km city/highwayM235i 11.2L/7.1L/100km city/highway

Three senior boys return to play under a rookie coach


Coach Jordan Elve-dahl was happy with his team’s effort Mon-day night in its opening game of the young bas-ketball season.

However, he says his Stelly’s senior boys squad has its work cut out for it this year.

The Stingers opened their season against the Oak Bay B team and found it tough to score throughout much of the second half of a losing effort. Elvedahl

said his squad is very young — there are only three returning Grade 12 players from last year’s team.

“It’s a group of young guys, some of whom are in their first year of senior ball,” said the coach, who played for Stelly’s at one time. “And it’s my first year coaching, so we have a bunch of rookies here.”

From their opening effort, Elvedahl said his players need to work harder on play execu-tion and the systems he’s trying to introduce.

“We’re going to be fine, they are a great group of guys,” he said, adding this season will be a rebuilding one, with the hope that the young crop will stick around in their senior year.

Stelly’s has some quick guards and a few big men up front. Many of their skills are raw, Elvedahl said, add-ing they will have to work hard to gain con-fidence.

The league looks strong, Elvedahl said, but not completely out of reach of the Stingers.

“It’ll be a tight race. All of the teams have the potential to beat everybody else.”

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

T he Island Equipment Owners Associations’ 16th annual Truck Light Convoy and Food Drive, is on Saturday, Dec. 6th, 2014.

Every year the Island Equipment Owners Association gets together, decorating their commercial trucks in the Christmas Spirit with thousands of lights, and then travel as a convoy through the streets of the Capital Region. In past years there have been up to 80 trucks participating. This event supports the Mustard Seed Food Bank, Westshore Christmas Hamper Fund Society and the Sidney Lions Food Bank. As there is not an opportunity to stop and collect food items along the route, multiple donation drop-off sites will be set up along the entire route.As a participant in the Truck Light Convoy it is overwhelming to see, that regardless of the weather, thousands of people line the streets with anticipation of the big trucks all decorated in Christmas Lights. Children from 2-92 cannot help but feel the Christmas Spirit as the convoy rolls by. People on the streets

and in the apartments above, are all cheering and

applauding the colorfully displayed big trucks. Not only is there excitement for the children, but I think there are just as many adults pumping their arms for the big horns to blow. As loud as they are it is part of the excitement of the Truck Light Convoy.At 5:45 the trucks leave Ogden Point, arrive in Oak Bay Village at 6:30, at 7:00 they arrive at Yates and Blanshard, 7:30 they will arrive at Helmcken and Trans Canada overpass, at 8:00 they will arrive atGoldstream and Veterans Memorial Parkway and at 8:30 they arrive at Western Speedway. Santa will arrive at Western Speedway by truck! We always caution the public that timing is approximate as the logistics of organizing this event is dependent on a number of factors. Everyone is invited to gather at Western Speedway for the conclusion of this fun event. Admission to the Western Speedway is by cash donation, or a non-perishable food item. Coffee, hot dogs and hot chocolate are available for the public, by donation.

This is a must see event for the whole family, especially children! We sincerely appreciate your continued support. See you there! Alan BarrPresident,Island Equipment Owners Association

Wishing everyone a safe and joyful holiday season.

A favourite interview was Fred Carmichael in Inuvik, North West Ter-ritories, the first private and commercial pilot in

the NWT and Order of Canada recipient.

“Just a really neat guy. Getting to inter-view him was one of the highlights for the book

for sure,” she said. “The travelling was

really neat,” she added. “I got to go to Old Crow twice as well and I dipped into their old

history projects from the last two decades.”

In that fly-in com-munity she met Ste-phen Frost Sr. a long-time safety net on the ground provid-ing weather informa-tion for aviators in the land where “weather is king.”

“He is not a pilot, not trained in aviation in any way but he became so important to the industry,” she said.

“The three of us will do some readings and talk a little bit about our books and take some questions,” Metcalfe-Chenail said about this week’s launch.

“It’s going to be a casual event. All three of us just like talking to people and connecting with readers.”

She offers a second free event the next day, tonight, Dec. 5 from 7 to 9 p.m. on the Saanich Peninsula at the Brit-ish Columbia Aviation Museum, 1910 Norse-man Rd. adjacent to Victoria International Airport.

About Danielle Metcalfe-Chenail

With history degrees from McGill and the University of British Columbia, Metcalfe-Chenail is active in professional organizations such as the Canadian Aviation Historical Society. At 28, she was elected the first female presi-dent of the 50-year-old society. She’s also involved with the Writ-ers Guild of Alberta and the Creative Non-fiction Collective and is the currently serving as Edmonton’s third Historian Laureate from 2014-16.

IN BUYING AND SELLING YOUR

The Peninsula News Review is looking to help tell your stories about buy-ing and selling your home.

Homefinder is going local this month and our staff are collecting story ideas for this page. So, whether you are a first-time home buyer or a senior couple looking to downsize, contact us to share your story and it just might help someone else going through one of the biggest events of their lives.

A long standing nugget of popular wisdom in the real estate game is that Christmas is a bad time to be buying or selling a

home. Not so, said Jack Barker of Re/Max

Realty. “I know that there are some agents

who go so far as to take the Christ-mas season off,” said Barker. “It’s the season with the lowest number of listings and it’s also a time when people, including agents, want to be with family.”

But according to Barker, it’s also a good time to buy or sell a home.

Patrick Schorle of Pacifica Real Estate in Sidney, agrees.

“Statistically, the chances of sell-ing your home is higher during the Christmas season than at any other time of year,” said Schorle.

“There are far fewer listings and that translates into less competition for sellers.

“It’s also true that the people who are out buying a home during the holidays seem to be far more seri-ous about the whole thing than at other times of the year.

“You don’t get many just out kick-ing the tires,” he said.

In fact, the Christmas season has fewer listings than any other time of the year, but your chances of selling your home is excellent.

“The ratio of new listings to sales is about 50 per cent,” said Schorle.

There’s also the question of Christ-mas decorations and whether all those lights and garlands will have a dampening effect on home buyers.

“Not at all,” said Schorle. “For me, I think having Christmas

decorations on and in the home is tremendous. The decorations show the spirit of Christmas … of family … it makes the house into a home. You have to remember that people aren’t looking to buy just a house …

they want a home for their family.”According to Schorle, the whole

mythology surrounding the identi-fication of the best seasons for list-ing and buying homes can be very wrong-headed.

“For example, there’s a lot of peo-ple who will insist that spring is the right time to sell your home. They think that they can plant flowers and make their yards beautiful and they’ll best present their property… put it in the best light,” he said.

“The problem is that there are thousands of other people thinking the same thing and the market can be flooded. That makes it harder for you to find a buyer for your home.”

“In the end, it’s not the season or the time of year that should influ-ence your decision to buy or sell. It has to be the right time for you … for your financial situation and your personal needs,” he said.

The best part about the real estate market during the holidays

may actually be a little difficult to pin down.

“There really is a magical feeling out there during the holidays,” said Schorle.

“There’s a positive spirit during this season, and, yes, it even seems to carry over to the real estate mar-ket.

“People tend to have this positive energy during this time of year … and it makes everything a little bit better.”

As negotiations for B.C.’s first large-scale liquefied natural gas export project reach their critical days, NDP leader John Horgan has a message for inves-tors: expect to pay more tax under an NDP government.

Executives of Malay-sian state energy company Petronas were in Vancou-ver Monday for what may be their final meeting with B.C. officials before deciding whether to proceed with an $11 billion investment in a pipeline and LNG process-ing at the Prince Rupert port.

Pacific Northwest LNG is a cornerstone of B.C.’s bid to enter the Asian energy market. The fall legislature session was devoted almost entirely to the emerging industry, setting in place a tax structure, carbon emis-sion rules and a series of agreements with the Nisga’a Nation to enable TransCan-ada Corp. to build a 900-km pipeline from northeast gas fields to the North Coast.

Horgan said he instructed NDP MLAs to vote in favour of the 3.5 per cent LNG tax that emerged from nego-tiations with investors,

because they need “cer-tainty” to make final invest-ment decisions. The sur-prise support came after NDP MLAs denounced the tax arrangement as a sell-out of provincial resources, leaving Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver and inde-pendent MLA Vicki Hunting-ton alone in voting against it.

“If we’re going to get to final investment decisions, we need to have a tax frame-work,” Horgan told report-ers after the LNG legisla-tion was passed into law. “I believe the framework is inadequate, I’ve said that, I will say that to the compa-nies when I meet with them, and they should know that when the government changes in 2017, I’m going to be wanting to look at those agreements.”

In debate, B.C. Liberal MLAs repeatedly ques-tioned the NDP’s professed support for LNG, referring to the party’s call for an investigation of hydraulic fracturing that has been conducted in B.C. since the 1960s. And the NDP denounced and opposed the government’s move to regulate greenhouse gas “intensity” rather than cap emissions for LNG plants.

Petronas CEO Shamsul Azhar Abbas has been out-spoken about the cost of LNG development in B.C. In October, Abbas warned that federal and provincial rules and taxes “threaten the global competitiveness of the Pacific Northwest LNG project.”

In his quarterly finan-cial update last week, B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the low and fluc-tuating price for natural gas in a shale-gas-rich North American market still indi-cates the Asia export mar-ket is viable.

“The proof of that, of course, will be final invest-ment decisions from propo-nents,” de Jong said.

Horgan sparked contro-versy on a recent trip to Prince Rupert, where he expressed doubts about Petronas and another LNG proposal for Prince Rupert that has been delayed by lead proponent British Gas Group.

Petronas is leading a con-sortium that includes Chi-nese, Japanese, Indian and Brunei investors. Petronas paid $5 billion last year to take over Progress Energy Canada, which has major shale gas holdings in north-east B.C. and Alberta.
