Seniors’ issues take the foreSHOAL Centre the site of a federal candidates forum on seniors’ issues, page 3

UBCM meeting an important opportunity for Peninsula municipalitiesTim CollinsNews contributor

Representatives from all of the Saanich Penin-sula municipalities were at Vancouver Convention Centre recently for the 2015 meeting of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM).

The UBCM is an advocate organization for municipal governments and its annual meeting provides those municipalities a chance to meet with Provincial ministers and staff in an effort to raise those issues that are most important to local government.

“We all go there with our own expectations and agendas,” said Central Saanich Mayor, Ryan Wind-

sor. “For example, this year we met with the Minister to talk about enhancing the role of First Nations involvement in the Capital Region. It’s an important issue and this meeting gave us the opportu-nity to make that point.”

“We also had an opportu-nity to meet with the minis-ter of the environment to talk about establishing a ‘no-sew-age-discharge’ regulation for

the Saanich Inlet. It’s an issue that we would oth-erwise have a hard time pursuing, and it is very important to our environment.”

Another important issue that was a topic of dis-cussion involved rules governing agricultural land.

“Our municipality still has agriculture as an inte-gral part of who we are, and it’s important that the rules are well understood and that we have input into their development and implementation,” said Windsor.

Ray Smith takes a walk down memory laneCarlie Connolly News staff

Sitting out back of Marigold Nursery, the sunshine beaming down on owner Ray Smith’s face, there was a real sense of passion, hard work and pride in the air, as the Smith family prepares to close the business after close to 50 years.

He took the PNR back to the nursery’s glory days and the people that made it all worthwhile. Opening in the early 1960s, the Smith family bought the property

when it was just fields. Marigold will be closing its doors come Christmas Eve.

Beginning as a wholesale-sales only business, Marigold Nursery later moved into retail as well, with a small store at the front. The change saw customers pil-ing in.

Now being retail only the last few years, there are still lots of customers but Smith says things have changed.

“People’s buying habits have changed. Younger people can’t afford houses so the houses that they can afford don’t have any yards, so the amount of pur-chasing is limited.”

Working at the business is Smith’s daughter Brooke and son, Randy along

with his wife, Libby. Their total number of employees is around a dozen people. When asked how it’s been to work with family, Ray replied with a laugh, saying it’s tough but that they have each other’s back.

The company has had its fair share of challenges with Ray’s younger brother dying, a major fire that left them losing their whole Christmas crop and sheds burnt to the ground and a collapse of the greenhouses under heavy snowfall, but they of course bounced back.

Steven HeywoodNews staff

Candidates in the federal riding of Saan-ich-Gulf Islands stood before close to 160 seniors at Sidney’s SHOAL Centre Tues-day, addressing issues facing the older set.

Sponsored by the Victoria chapter of the Canadian Association for Retired Persons (CARP), candidates Alicia Cormier (NDP), Tim Kane (Liberal) and Elizabeth May (Green) were asked to outline their party’s policies on issues from phar-macare and retirement pension reform, to affordable housing for seniors and veteran survivor benefits.

Conservative candi-date Robert Boyd was not at the forum.

Cormier outlined the NDP’s take on seniors’ issues, pledging to hire more doctors, look into a universal policy on drug coverage and to return the age of retire-ment to 65 rather than the current 67.

Kane said the Liber-als also plan to return the retirement age to 65, as well as establish a seniors’ price index, to help seniors to be able to better afford the things they spend their money on the most.

May noted the Green Party would establish a seniors bill of rights, over-arching legislation to cover areas of health care, economic well-being and to help guard against senior abuse. She also pointed out her party would look to create a national dementia strategy.

Following opening statements, where the candidates outlined their overall party poli-cies, members of the

audience asked ques-tions. Margaret Guss-man, a widow who was married to a veteran of the Second World War — but who married him after they were 60 years old — asked about the so-called gold-digger clause. It, in a nutshell, is part of the veterans’ pension act and denies widows access to their spouse’s pension if they were married after the serviceman turned 60.

Peninsula Co-op stepping up for Keating Elementary School

CENTRAL SAANICH —Following the recent report of money taken from a parent’s group fund at Keating Elementary School and a subsquent police and school district investigation, Peninsula Co-op has offered to donate $30,000.

The money will go towards the replace-ment of the school’s playground equipment.

An estimated $40,000 went missing from the fund and the investigation is looking at a single individual, a former member of the school’s parent advisory council. An arrest has not been made.

There will be a presentation of the Penin-sula Co-op donation at the school on Mon-day, Oct. 5 at 1 p.m. Keating Elementary is located at 6843 Central Saanich Rd.

Alice Finall, mayor of North Saanich agrees.

“The agricultural workshop was very important for munici-palities like North and Central Saanich,” she said, “and we wel-comed the opportunity to have that dialogue.”

But Finall also had the opportunity to raise other issues at the UBCM convention.

“We met with Todd Stone (B.C. Minister of

Transportation) and raised our concerns about the ferry assess-ment. This is a critical issue for us and we

were able to raise our concerns and open a real dialogue about what needs to happen next.”

Another area of con-cern for Finall involved the office of the auditor general for local gov-ernments.

“We passed a motion calling for that office to be discontinued,” said Finall.

“It has cost signifi-cant amounts of money and has shown very little in return. A new Auditor General has now been appointed and we are optimistic that things are going to improve.”

For Sidney’s Mayor, Steve Price, the UBCM convention was a chance for Sidney to shine as they received the “Open for Business” award in recognition of the municipality’s work in promoting new busi-ness opportunities.

“The award came with a cash prize of $10,000 which we are going to use to further promote business in Sidney,” said Price.

It was also an oppor-tunity for Price to pur-sue a number of other issues, including the question of what the plans are for continuing the discussion on amal-gamation of municipali-ties.

“We have a new Min-ister involved now and we wanted to get a sense of where he was taking this issue. It’s important to have our input when we can,” said Price.

“These meetings are important,” said Wind-sor.

“We have a level of access to provincial ministers and staff that you don’t get on a regu-lar basis ... and the for-mat allows for impor-tant discussions to take place that otherwise might never happen.”

Out of those strug-gles however, came a real sense of commu-nity with the people that just kept coming back.

“That’s what I’m going to miss … the people. Those are the memories you really cherish,” said Ray. “You know them by name, they know you by name, they’ve been coming here ever since we started.”

As for the decision to close, he says it’s for a few reasons; economic reasons and the effects that come with aging.

“It’s too valuable a piece of property to carry on. The money’s not there like it used to be but you never know, we might pop up somewhere else … you never know.”

Even though they

closed their Duncan nursery, just this week the family has opened it up as an indoor and outdoor RV, car and boat storage facility, a place where Ray says the younger genera-tions in his family — his children — will con-tinue their work.

When Marigold is gone, the chunk of land will be developed for housing.

With a few months left for Marigold, Ray said he will be taking a well earned step back to relax and unwind, but admitted he will miss working at the nursery greatly.

“I work seven days a week. I graduated school in ’68 and worked here every day since.”

Firefighters from North Saanich, Central Saanich, Sidney and Saanich will take close to 800 Grade 4 and 5 students through the annual fire safety expo this week. Children learn about smoke detectors, escape plans and even how to use fire extinguishers properly.

Steven HeywoodNews staff

More than 800 Grade 4 and 5 students from area schools are learning about fire safety and how to get out alive — in case of an emergency.

The annual fire safety expo is being hosted by the North Saanich Fire Department this week. It’s a partnership with Central Saanich, Sidney and

the District of Saanich and fire-fighters hope to get the kids thinking about having a safe home.

Captain Steve Knapp with the North Saanich fire depart-ment says this year’s focus is on smoke detectors and escape plans. Each of eight activities at the fire hall on Wain Road is designed to teach the students how to be safe — and how to ensure

they know a safe way out of their home should a fire break out.

Prevention is the name of the game, Knapp said, with les-sons on proper cooking tech-niques and electrical safety, to demonstrations on how to stay low to escape smoke and how to use a fire extinguisher.

“We only see these kids for two hours between Grade 5 and Grade 12, or for the rest of their lifetimes,” Knapp said. “So we hope they will learn and teach their parents and keep a safe home over the

long term.”The firefighters are also

handing out a pamphlet on smoke detector safety — which also includes space to draw up a home fire escape plan.

Knapp said it’s the hope of all the fire departments that the activities during the expo, plus a little homework, will have kids and their families thinking about their safety — and perhaps ensuring that the family knows primary and sec-ondary ways out of the house in case of emergency.

The local race mattersF

or all that you hear about so-called voter fatigue, turnout at local candidates forums would appear to indicate people are eager to know more about those campaigning towards the

October 19 federal election.There were close to 160 people at Sidney’s

SHOAL Centre for a mid-afternoon forum on seniors’ issues. That evening, another 200 people packed into the gym at Lochside Elementary School to hear from the same Saanich-Gulf Islands candidates who had appeared at at least one other event that day. And there are more forums to come.

That would seem to indicate a desire for more of a personal connection with the candidates in this riding.

For weeks, much of the federal race has been taking place in Ottawa or among the leaders of the respective parties. It left voters early in this campaign possibly feeling left out and thereby creating a sort of fatigue — or more of a frustration that little of that talk was trickling down to them. Early in the campaign it was one minor crisis after another and the Mike Duffy court case. At this stage, voters have the chance to see who might be representing them in Ottawa, and that gives the local races a completely different flavour.

While candidate forums will never be the entire picture of a local election campaign, they do provide snapshots on local issues.

In Sidney this week, seniors’ issues took centre stage at the SHOAL Centre. The candidates stayed on the party message for the most part but, thankfully, the audience asked enough questions to force them to veer off those lines and actually show a little personality — and whether they can think on their feet and respond in an intelligent and well-thought-out manner. Each scored their points at this event.

The real winners, of course, were the voters — the people who were there to shore up their affiliations or the undecideds who are looking for the one breakthrough issue or pledge that speaks to them.

A far-off race won’t help them. It’s only this close contact with the candidates that will help people make up their minds as they go to cast their ballot.

We appreciate your interest in the wonderful property at 10301 Res-thaven Drive and are pleased that others will enjoy it.

However, I do need to correct the assumption that it had been genera-tions of Mackays living there.

My uncle by marriage, Alex Menagh was the man who lived there from 1900 and who built the majority of the home. He married my aunt, Julia Whiteside in the 1920s and it became their main resi-dence.

My parents, Sam and Kate Vallis, moved there in 1970, Mom being Julia’s sister. They added on to the building.

We, my Whiteside cousins and our families, were blessed to have summered on the Bay and our family moved there in the 1980s. Our son and daughter have been blessed to have great memories of Roberts Bay and Sidney. Thank you to Uncle Alex!

Helen MackaySidney

Don’t call it a cabinThe photo and caption of the

lot on Resthaven Drive, describing someone’s beloved family home as “a small cabin” was disrespectful.

A home is a home, especially one that stood for “almost 100 years.”

Perhaps celebrating a family’s presence on Roberts Bay for nearly a century would be more appropri-ate than an off-handed insult to their home.

Davies’ plans to develop this lot

require city variances and will result in lot line to lot line development and a front yard that is 59 per cent parking lot.

The city is accountable for regu-lating development but this paper should be responsible to its long-term residents.

Celebrate 100 years on Roberts Bay; do not denigrate a family’s home with such disparaging words as “small foundation of a small cabin.”

Carol KoopSidney

(Editor’s note: Previous owners of the home had described it to the PNR as a cabin.)

Try rail insteadAnother crash on the Malahat.

Another complete waste of time, money and fuel for hundreds of indi-viduals as well as companies hauling everything from apples to zincs.

One has to ask why would we as a society prefer to spend $19 mil-lion per kilometer to improve the highway when we could fix up the E&N rail line for $2.6 million per kilo-meter.

Never mind the fact that gas taxes only make up less than half the costs of maintaining roads and highways — not improving or building new ones.

The rest of the money that goes into maintaining, policing and clean-ing up the mess that drivers cause comes from yours and my taxes.

Having rail service for both freight and passengers on the E&N would give companies and individuals real alternatives for transit up and down the island while at the same time reducing traffic on the Malahat and have the added benefit of giving anybody either too young, too old or disabled from having a drivers licence a chance to travel.

The provincial and federal gov-ernments really need to commit to a real and cheap alternative to the Malahat.

Letters to the Editor


Undoubtedly, August’s financial market gyrations had many readers suffering varying degrees of angst over their portfolio performance — per-

haps unnecessarily so.Financial markets experience relatively long peri-

ods of upward-trending momentum, only to eventu-ally retrench, to establish a new base from which to resume growth. When they fall more than 10 per cent from previous highs, they are considered to have undergone a correction. August saw such a correction in most world markets.

Often, a market correction is triggered by the onset of a significant recession, either domestically, or even world-wide — as was the case in 2008/2009.

Recessions were not the trigger in August. The U.S. economy, on which we rely for more than 80 per cent of our exports, has re-established a solid growth trend. Even Europe’s GDP has returned to modest growth which had been absent since the fiscal crisis of 2008.

World financial markets may have latched on to a recent Chi-nese economic slowdown as a trigger for an August adjustment. China’s growth has indeed moderated from a sizzling eight per cent, down to a still robust six or seven per cent, thus dampen-ing world-wide demand for oil, copper and other resources — at least in the near term. The more likely underlying cause of August’s correction was that markets were looking for an excuse to adjust their somewhat inflated price-earnings ratios down to more realistic levels. When economic conditions remain solid, such price corrections tend to be relatively short-lived.

Several Canadian provinces — most notably Alberta and Newfoundland — have been hard-hit by the falling oil price. On the other hand, the Canadian dollar, dropping in tandem with oil prices, has made our exports some 25 per cent less expensive than they were just a year ago. This has already begun to benefit our manufacturing and tourism sectors, both of which should continue to show robust growth in the next year. Despite the oil and general price-retrenchment in our resource sector, Canada is not likely to fall into a recession.

In financial markets, investors who hold low-cost, geographically-diversified products with solid yields, should be relatively relaxed about the recent market gyrations. Their portfolios will continue to receive a solid income stream, while awaiting the inevitable upward resumption in market direction — supported by real value growth in the underlying holdings.

Investors with portfolios lacking these solid invest-ment characteristics may not be as relaxed, as their accounts continue to be charged high fees, generate low yields, and perhaps hold too much exposure to resource sectors such as oil. Even they however, will participate in an eventual recovery — though for them, it will likely be more modest.

August’s market volatility reaffirmed the folly of attempting to time the market — jumping in and out, in an effort to improve portfolio performance. In a matter of several weeks, we saw all markets, including the TSX Index, fluctuate by as much as two per cent on some days, only to reverse course just as aggressively the next. Trying to predict such gyrations is not only foolish — it is a recipe for incurring actual losses, rather than merely short-term value adjustments on paper.

Investors must keep this in mind: In any market, a loss is not crystallized unless holdings are actually sold. Remaining solidly invested for the long-term and riding out the occasional down-draft in markets, is the best recipe for long-term value growth. Still need convincing?

Ponder this fact. Had you invested $100 in the TSX Index in 1950 and forgotten about it until 2015, you would have been pleasantly shocked to find your $100 had grown to over $39,000! This translates to an average annualized total return of 9.2 per cent — despite more than a dozen major market corrections over those 65 years.

• District of Central Saa-nich council heard from a few residents who said they needed more time to meet with the owner of de Vine Vineyards to discuss the use of the property and the cre-ation of a lounge facility at the vineyard.

Letters were sent to neigh-bours on the plans for the lounge. Since meeting with neighbours, the owners have scaled the proposal back to include sound covenants, reduced hours and limit the

amount of people. The final draft wasn’t provided until the morning of the council meeting and residents didn’t feel they had enough time to look over it.

Council decided to allow more time for further discus-sion.

• Council will include the first phase of municipal hall upgrades in their 2016 bud-get.

They endorsed work to be done to address high-risk health and safety deficien-cies at the hall.

• A letter was written by Central Saanich farmers in what council calls the Agri-culture Advisory Committee, making a list of concerns, ideas and recommendations on the Maber Flats purchase and water retention project.

The recommendation was that council direct staff to prepare a draft terms of ref-erence document to proceed a request for proposals for the detailed design of the Maber Flats project.

The District will also work to obtain feedback from the community during the design process. Council decided to bring this forward at a later time.

“Because this is a new council addressing this issue and there are new members and returning members at the table looking at this, we decided as a council it would be best to address this arti-cle and give us chance to review basically the history of the decision and potential cost of the decision,” said Councillor Niall Paltiel.

When should my child or grandchild start orthodontics?Confucius, famed Chinese philosopher once said, “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the next best time is today.”Since Confucius, we have learned that 85% of a child’s facial growth is completed by age 12. When is the best time to do orthodontics? Before facial growth is completed! Today, orthodontics—the alignment of teeth—also includes the field of orthopaedics—the alignment of facial bones especially in the lower half of the face. When started at an early age orthodontics and orthopaedics becomes simpler. We treat the problems at their onset rather then waiting till they reach their worst.

This approach has the benefit of avoiding taking out adult teeth and avoiding jaw surgery. It also avoids high school graduations!Starting early between ages 6-10 with orthopaedics can shorten the time needed for tooth alignment and sometimes eliminate the need for braces altogether. If braces are chosen later on the orthopaedic treatment is subtracted from the usual fee for braces not added to it. This approach leads to beautiful faces and smiles, and believe it or not healthier airways, teeth and gums. The best time to start is today!

Gussman said she was married to her hus-band for 30 years and the clause certainly does not apply in her case.

“I am not resentful,” she said, “but I’m wor-ried for other widows of veterans. I want you to act now.”

May said the clause dates back to the Boer War, adding she is

aware and has met at various times with fed-eral ministers, seeking change. Both Cormier and Kane admitted the issue is new to them, but suggested their par-ties would also work

to have that clause repealed.

The candidates were asked about the cuts to Veterans’ Affairs offices across the country. Kane said he decided to run, in part, because of

a nephew who served with the military and whose family had to work hard to get him support and treatment for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

“Harper has been

balancing his budgets on the back of Veter-ans’ Affairs,” Kane said.

Cormier said the NDP is committed to restoring those offices, staff and funds to Veter-ans’ Affairs.

May said her party would restore monthly disability payments to veterans, revoking the lump-sums put in place by the Conservative government.

“We will restore funding, adding more money, skills training and more for PTSD treatment, including funding for service dogs to help with veter-ans in need,” May said.

The candidates touched on issues of elder abuse and health care for seniors. They were also asked how they, or their parties, would work within a potential minority gov-ernment.

“Consulting and col-laboration can be ben-eficial,” said Cormier, “and that has been a past role for the NDP.”

She said she hopes the NDP will win a majority after the Oct. 19 election, and any

kind of collaboration in a minority parlia-ment will be up to the leader and the party as a whole.

Kane said for the Liberals, the simple answer is yes, they would co-operate with other parties should there be a minority gov-ernment situation.

“I really don’t care about minority govern-ments,” he said. “For me, (Justin) Trudeau or (Thomas) Mulcair would be fine alterna-tives to Harper.”

May said the Green Party has a role in a minority government.

“Coalition politics make sense in a West-minster Parliamentary Democracy,” she said. “For stability of parlia-ment, it would be bet-ter to have a group of (green) MPs to pro-vide balance and try to ensure that a coalition does not destabilize government over pol-icy differences.”

General voting day is Oct. 19. Advance polls are taking place Oct. 9 to 12. For information on how and when to vote, visit elections.ca.

People from North Saanich got together to remember Dee Bailin, councillor, volunteer, mother and a friend to many, at a special dedication at the Wain Road tennis courts on Sept. 29.

The word ‘steadfast’ was used by Mayor Alice Finall in her opening speech at the dedica-tion of the recently improved tennis courts, when remember-ing Bailin, who died at age 87 a few months ago.

Finall met Bailin in the early 1980s. Bailin was on District council and volunteered on the board of what used to be called the Peninsula Community Asso-ciation, now the Beacon Com-munity Association.

“She had a very high level of dedication, but it was because she cared so much,” Finall said. “So I’m thrilled to be able to open and dedicate these tennis courts to her memory but also to the memory and in recogni-tion of all she gave.”

Serving three terms as a coun-cillor and donating to so many environmental groups, Bailin will be remembered by many, includ-ing her daughter Sheila Bailin.

“My mom was passionate about tennis and played until shortly before she passed away at 87. Most of you know just how

passionate my mom was about not just tennis but the commu-nity of North Saanich.

“If you are on the other side of the tennis net or the political fence, you knew Dee was pas-sionate, enthusiastic and skilled but humble.”

Among the crowd was former mayor of North Saanich Linda Michaluk.

“The word today was steadfast and that was Dee, whether she was playing tennis, whether she was acting as a mentor, whether she was on council, whether she was involved in volunteer activi-ties, she gave her all and always

encouraged others to come out as well,” she said.

Rob Buchan, the District’s Chief Administrative Officer, also had a few things to say about Bailin.

“She was a very pleasant, very gracious lady that had deep roots in the community and obviously deep respect and clearly, she gave to the commu-nity.”

He added the recently upgraded courts are a spectacu-lar addition to the community.

Judith Kay, known by many as Juice Newton,

will be hitting the stage next Friday night at the Mary Winspear Cen-tre, with an acoustic trio setting, performing

some of her hit songs.Currently living in

California, Newton told the PNR she is excited to come to Sidney to

get a break from the hot weather while of course performing for the intimate crowd she hopes to see.

“It’s a much more intimate show. I hope people enjoy it, we’re looking forward to it,” she said.

Without the drums and piano, she says the songs are arranged a bit differently because of it being an acoustic show, without bringing a band. With the added bonus of the Win-spears’ close quarters, performances appear more intimate with the stage’s close proximity to the audience.

“In your mind, you have to make that not less energetic but you have to make it less flamboyant,” said New-ton on performing to smaller crowds.

On the road until Oct. 11, Newton and her team will end the tour

at home and will begin a new project, collect-ing and writing songs she hopes to have released in the spring. She says they are lean-ing towards more acoustic based music.

“Each project gener-ally has a personality to it, so you try to write or look for songs that share that kind of com-monality…

“In my opinion it has to be like a book, you have to have segments through it that all are in some way connected.”

From the Grammys to the Country Music Awards, Newton has won many honours with multiple platinum and gold albums and 10 million records sold. She has 15 top 10 hits among her many well-known songs, such as Angel of the Morning, Queen of Hearts and the number one country hit The Sweetest Thing (I’ve Ever Known) just to name a few.

Through it all, New-ton has been on quite the ride, performing around the world and still manages to hit the road, continuing on with her musical career.

“I’ve been very, very, very fortunate and I’m very fortunate that I’m frankly still working and still on the road.

“It’s not the life for everyone. You have to travel well, you have to be flexible in your expectations and you have to be consistent.”

Presented by Rock It Boy Entertainment, Newton will perform Oct. 9 at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 7 p.m. and tick-ets are $52.50 and can be purchased online at www.marywinspear.ca.

New York - The all-new 2016 BMW 7 Series is a sixth generation edition of the brand’s big, flagship sedan. The new styling is another evolutionary step and still instantly recognizable as a BMW. Dimensionally this car is the same as the outgoing model, yet it has a radically new and innovative sub-structure.And the latter, coupled with remarkable onboard technology, is what caught my attention. The new 7 Series, offers a showcase of the very latest technologies that BMW has to offer, combined with more advanced forms of technologies already available. Sadly, a novel driverless “self-parking” technology (controlled by the key fob and available in Europe) has not (yet) received Canadian regulatory approval. Another fascinating new (multi-media) feature is Gesture Control, which lets an operator do things like raise audio volume by twirling your finger, take a phone call with a finger point or wave it away with a wrist flick. An operator can also add customized gestures to trigger a function … a couple come to mind!Pandering to the non-driving

owners is an interesting optional interior first for BMW, a feature called “Executive Lounge”. A feet-up recliner in the right rear seat has a body massage feature and a multi-media experience controlled by a removable touch-screen tablet, which is mounted in a clever docking feature. Got to admit, it was rear seat test drive to savour – and yes, I do love this job! BMW is pioneering a different way to improve body rigidity and reduce weight, explained Dr. Wolfgang Hundt, the Project Manager for Driving Dynamics & Driving Assistance. It uses carbon-fibre (reinforced plastic)

in key (core) locations of the structure of the new 7 Series. An indicator of how strongly committed BMW is to the use of this ultra-light yet super-strong material is the expansion work (to triple production output) already in progress at its relatively new Moses Lake (Washington State) carbon-fibre manufacturing plant. I was most impressed by the balance and poise of the 750i xDrive (with an M-Sport package) on the Monticello Motor Club, in up-state New York. In Sport mode the new 7 is so wonderfully light on its feet that you can very easily forget you’re behind the wheel of a big sedan. The difference between Sport and Comfort modes was quite dramatic and there’s a new one “Adaptive”. It matches the vehicle set-up to the driver’s current driving style and a profile of the route ahead, by talking to the navigation system.A redesigned optional Integral Active Steering system can now be offered in conjunction with the xDrive all-wheel drive system. It can turn the rear wheels in the same or an opposing direction as the front wheels to increase manoeuvrability.The end result is a 7 Series with a much lower centre

of gravity and close to perfect front/rear weight distribution. The 750i xDrive and 750Li

xDrive editions will soon be arriving in Canadian BMW dealer showrooms. A BMW 750i xDrive model

will have a starting MSRP of $113,900, and a long-wheelbase 750iL xDrive at $117,900. Pricing,

which should be lower, for the 740 editions will be announced closer to market launch next year.

Beginning on Saturna Island and making his way to Sidney on Oct. 6 to the Shaw Ocean

Discovery Centre (SODC), author and a research fellow at Whale and Dolphin Conservation in the U.K., Erich Hoyt will discuss his killer whale experience and his new book, Creatures of the Deep.

Hosted by Shaw Ocean Discovery

Centre and Raincoast Conservation Foundation at the Centre, this will be Hoyt’s second stop on his five stop tour. His talk will be on his new book which came out just before last Christmas. This is the first time he has had a chance to talk about it in Canada. His other talk will be on killer whales, based on the work he started back in 1973.

Hoyt spent 10 summers work-ing with orcas in Johnstone Strait off northeast Vancouver Island, taking his first killer whale expe-dition there from Victoria.

“It was quite an exciting time, we didn’t know anything about whales at the time or killer whales at the time,” he told the PNR.

He and a team ended up going back every summer, which he did up until 1983 when he wrote an article for National Geographic along with writing his first book, Orca: The Whale Called Killer. Hoyt is the author of 22 books along with four chil-dren’s books.

Hoyt’s talk in Sidney, titled Adventures with Orcas in the North Pacific, goes back to that of Hoyt’s experiences with these magnificent creatures.

In 1999, he began and founded a research program in Russia on the opposite side of the Pacific where he said no one had really studied them.

“There was a threat that they were going to be captured by Japanese and other aquari-ums and so myself and a Rus-sian researcher and a Japanese researcher got together and raised a little bit of money and started a Russian program.”

The program has been going for around 15 years and it’s a Russian student program with more than 20 people having

gone through it.“The idea was that if we didn’t

get local people who were really interested in studying the whales and then hopefully in conserv-ing them, that we weren’t going to have a population of killer whales over there.”

Hoyt says that has worked out well.

“In the last three years, the capture industry has really taken off in terms of capturing killer whales in Russian waters for Chinese and Russian aquari-ums … but 20 killer whales have been captured in the last three or four years so this is some-thing that we’re trying to stop and trying to make a lot of noise about because from what we’re

learning, they’re capturing the same pods repeatedly.”

He will be showing videos and photos from his time with the whales, going back to what he has learned about these killer whales over the years and what they are learning in Russia, tying it together for his presentation.

His latest book, Creatures of the Deep, is a narrative cof-fee table book with stories in it as well as photos and it’s an expanded version.

“The stories are really taking the reader on a journey to the bottom of the sea, so you go through all these layers and you find out what’s living at these dif-ferent layers.”

The book doesn’t just take one on trips, but it’s also histori-cal, talking about humans trying to get to the bottom of the sea.

Hoyt says that in spending time with the whales, you are always learning. He says that between 2000 and 2012 alone the Census on Marine Life dis-covered 1,200 new species in the deep sea.

His own fascination in the whales began in 1973, but since then he continues on with his work with them.

“I always wanted to find out stuff that nobody knew, that was brand new, that was at the edge of what we understand.”

Hoyt’s presentation is at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 6 at the SODC. Call 250-655-7511 for tickets.

Margaret Chesnut NEE WOOD NEE FREEMAN

Much more than beloved and missed sorely by us all.

Marg slipped away Sunday morning, September 20, 2015Marg always had a positive, hopeful view of the future

and shared this with those around her. A superior cook, a hard working force in her family, a loving wife and mother, she was a fi ne example for her family and friends.

Marg was pre-deceased by her fi rst husband, Frederick Albert Wood and is proudly survived by her husband Allan Chesnut, children Shannon, Deborah and Charles, grandchildren Rebecca, Adam, Aaron and Brittany, and great grandchildren Paris and Olivia as well as her extended family and many, many friends.

DONNA ROBERTA HOLGERSON AKA “FISH” (May 21, 1946 – September 17, 2015)

“God saw you getting tired,When a cure was not to be,So he closed his arms around you,And whispered “Come to Me”

It is with broken hearts that we announce the end of Donna’s life journey. She passed away in the palliative care unit at Saanich Peninsula Hospital with her daughter and son-in-law at her bedside. She was an amazing woman with an infectious smile, a heart fi lled with love and compassion for others and an adventurous spirit. We were so lucky to have had her for 69 years and only wish it could have been longer. A celebration of her life will be held on

October 17th, 2015 at 11:00am at North Saanich Middle School located at

10400 McDonald Park Road, North Saanich, BC. In lieu of fl owers, a donation can be made to the Saanich Peninsula

Hospital Foundation or the Canadian Cancer Society. Thank you.

October 2, 2015Best Wishes, With love from all of your Family

Happy 90th BirthdayEmma Sherban

Tim CollinsNews contributor

It has been a very good year for real estate sales on the Saanich Peninsula and the trend looks to be some-thing that will continue.

“The market actually changed in July of last year and it has continued since that time,” said Oliver Katz of Re/Max Real Estate. “Our numbers are up by some 25 per cent and it’s really become a seller’s market over the spring and summer.

“There’s been a great deal of competition and we’re now dealing with the situ-ation where we sometimes get multiple offers on homes. As well, the amount of time that homes are staying on the listings has decreased markedly.”

There are a variety of fac-tors that are combining to influence that trend, accord-ing to Jack Barker of Re/Max in Sidney.

“Certainly the lower interest rates have spurred sales,” said Barker. “We see people buying properties as homes, certainly, but we’re also seeing situations where buyers are coming into the market looking for second-ary rental properties as an investment.”

That trend has been given a boost with the recent announcement by CMHC (Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation) that, effective September 28, 2015, income from rental suites will once again factor into the eligibility calcula-tions on mortgage applica-tions. That option had been removed by CMHC some time ago, but has now been reinstated.

According to their web-

site, this move has been made to “align CMHC’s poli-cies with the evolving financ-ing needs of the affordable housing marketplace.”

“The truth is that their (CMHC’s) competitors have been allowing rental income into the calcula-tions all along,” said Linda Smith, Branch Manager of the Select Mortgage Cor-poration. “Both Genworth and Canada Guarantee have allowed income from rental suites into their calculations, dependent upon the local regulations and bylaws. In some cases even income from non-conforming suites has been allowed.”

Whatever the cause, the purchase of properties for investment purposes is a growing trend.

“You can see why people would get into secondary investments in rental prop-erties,” said Barker. “Given the very low interest rates and the way the stock mar-ket has been behaving, it makes sense for some peo-ple to get into what they see as a much safer and more profitable investment.”

And the demand for rental accommodations has been steadily increasing, said Barker.

“We’ve seen this trend in both the U.S.A. and the U.K. where seniors are now choosing to reside in rental properties and are willing to pay for those rentals,” said Barker. “The demand has become so strong in those countries that seniors are now outbidding the millen-nial generation for rental accommodation. As that trend begins to show itself here, the demand for rental accommodation may well rise and the attractiveness

for investors who are con-sidering secondary home purchases will rise with it.”

“The big thing is that, for whatever the reason, the market has been incredibly strong this spring and sum-

mer season,” said Denise Hogue, Communications Manager for the Victoria Real Estate Board. “We’re seeing across the board strength in sales ... whether that’s people buying as prin-

cipal residences or as rental/investment properties ... it really doesn’t matter from the vendor’s point of view. It’s a seller’s market and it looks like it will stay that way for some time.”

The tennis courts had a complete face lift, being resurfaced with new asphalt and paint just a few weeks ago. The work was paid for by a donation by Bailin’s family.

Among the many tennis players who knew Bailin was Sandy Phillips, who played tennis with her for two and a half years.

“She was wonderful. She could place the ball where you couldn’t get it and it was amazing,” she said.

Susan Hirst, who is active with the Penin-

sula Tennis Club, also knew Bailin from play-ing next to her on the courts at Panorama Recreation Centre.

“We chatted all the time, she was a lovely woman.”

Brenda Shoemaker was also there to play tennis on the newly improved courts while remembering Bailin, who was a neighbour.

“When we’d chat, she’d be coming down the street and I’d be gardening and we’d chat and we both shared a real love of music and a love of tennis … I really respected and admired her for her philanthropy.”


Bailin remembered fondly
