Fall back one hour this

Saturday night

Devon MacKenzie/News staff

District of Central Saanich council and mayoralty hopefuls, including Ryan Windsor (standing) gathered at the Tsawout gym Tuesday night for the Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce’s All Candidates meeting.

Devon MacKenzieNews staff

The gym at the Tsawout First Nation was full on Tuesday night as residents gathered to see District of Central Saanich councillor and mayoralty hopefuls at the Saanich Pen-insula Chamber of Commerce and Peninsula News Review All Candidates Forum.

Questions to the candidates were submit-ted by members of the public and read by

Louise Hartland, the night’s mediator, from CTV Vancouver Island.

The questions ranged from topics that have been election issues in the past, like the access to Keating X Road from the Pat Bay Highway, to new issues that have come up in the last year like the District’s possible acquisition of land in Maber Flats for a drain-age facility.

Ten of the 11 declared councillor can-didates (William Moodrey did not attend)

were in attendance as well as two of the three declared mayoralty candidates were present (David Shebib, a candidate declared in all 13 CRD municipalities, did not attend.)

The question of the acquisition of land in Maber Flats drew similar responses from many of the candidates.

“I feel we need a second appraisal,” said Susan Mason, a former councillor with the District, about the price of the land.

Large turnout to hear the candidates

Her sentiment was echoed by most other candidates, many of whom also raised ques-tions about a report from the District’s Agri-cultural Advisory Com-mittee and commented that it should be looked at further.

“Council will need to respond to the AAC about their concerns, the first step is to hear what the commit-tee has to say about the project,” said Bob Thompson.

Niall Paltiel — a first time council hopeful — Chris Graham and John Hannam all said they felt it was time to do something about the drainage issues in the area and that the proj-ect should move ahead in some form.

“I’m in favour of tak-ing action but I agree the price is too high for the land. What we need is a fresh set of eyes on the project,” said Pal-tiel.

The question of the District’s historical non-participation in the CRD’s Arts Devel-opment Service was

raised, and candidates were asked whether or not they would sup-port the fund which is currently contributed to by eight municipali-ties in the CRD: Victo-ria, Saanich, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, View Royal, Metchosin, Highlands and Sidney.

Mayoral candidate Ryan Windsor said he was open to looking at the possibility of paying into the fund but would “need to hear more from the arts commu-nity” on whether or not it would be a good use of funds.

Mayoral candidate Jack Mar said it was something he had heard requests for in his past terms as a council member and mayor and that he sup-ported the idea of put-ting a small amount into the fund with a review to take place the following year as to how the fund was ben-eficial to the district.

Both Paltiel and Ali-cia Cormier were sup-portive of the idea. Carl Jensen said he felt the district is already pay-ing into the arts by way of the district’s grant-in-

aid funding.“Just because we

don’t pay into the CRD’s fund doesn’t mean we don’t support the arts,” Jensen said.

The question of Woodwyn Farms was posed, with many can-didates agreeing they felt the idea behind the therapeutic community was sound but that the location and the not-for-profit organization’s flaunting of municipal bylaws were a problem.

“I feel like they should have to obey the bylaws and farm the land as any farmer would,” said Mar dur-ing the forum.

“This has been a long, drawn out issue and the society needs to look at cooperating with the District and council. I don’t think it’s a healthy relationship,” said Graham.

Not surprisingly, the question of farming, farmland security and taxation rates came up. Forum attendees were asked by a member of the public if they would consider changing the mill rate for farm land in the district.

“For big farms, no,

but for the smaller hobby farms, yes,” said Baldev Lalli.

“The farming com-munity is challenged in its viability,” said Cormier. “We do need to look at the taxes and rates and maybe look at incentives for high value crops.”

Zeb King said he favoured looking at other ways to encour-age farmers.

“It’s a difficult busi-ness to be in,” he said. “We should be looking at ways for farmers to save money on things like water prices. We need to find ways to make farming work,” he said.

Shawn Munro said he wouldn’t support a tax rate increase but sup-ports farming in the community and Jensen said that until the tax bases in Saanichton, Brentwood and Keat-ing are maximized he wouldn’t want to pur-sue tax rate increases on farms.

Thompson and may-oralty candidates Wind-sor and Mar also said no.

The evening was wrapped up with clos-ing comments from all of the candidates.

The general election takes place on Satur-day, Nov. 15. Advance voting opportunities will be held on Nov. 5, Nov. 8 and Nov. 12 at Central Saanich Munici-pal Hall. For more infor-mation see centralsaa-nich.ca.

There’s a lot more to searching for lost souls than just stick-ing your head out of a window and taking a look.

It’s a bit of an art, or at least Its a skill that needs to be taught, prac-tised and honed. And if you’re searching from a small plane, those skills need to be sharp — someone’s life may depend on it.

Teaching those skills is up to people like Rick Weatherhead and Les Hall, vol-unteers with the Sidney branch of the Civil Air Search and Rescue Association (CASARA).

They held an open house Oct. 24 at the Shell Aero Centre at the Victoria Interna-tional Airport to thank their supporters for providing a new, larger training space. That simple classroom-like area is where the 30-plus civilian volunteers keep their navigation, spotting and piloting skills up to date.

Weatherhead, a Chief Spotter, says these volunteers take to the skies across the south Island whenever there’s an ini-tial call for a search. It could be a lost hiker or an elderly person who cannot be located right away.

Volunteers are called out and rush to the airport and the Victoria Flying Club, who generously donate the use of their small airplanes for aerial search and res-cue.

Hall, a pilot and navigator who is retired from the military, said CASARA is called whenever the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Esquimalt doesn’t need military search and rescue out of 442 Squadron in Comox. Should CASARA get involved and find someone or something, said Hall, then the JRCC would call in a ground rescue team or the helicopter or other aircraft from up-Island.

In essence, CASARA does the searching part while another group does the actual rescuing.

You don’t have to be a pilot to be a member of CASARA, said Weatherhead. A volunteer, he continued, does need to have the time and dedication to put into training and come to it with a commit-ment to safety. He said that’s their top job — to ensure crews remain safe while in the air.

“We need to know and have the skills to be able to survive, just in case,” he said.

Training takes place regularly to ensure members stay current. There’s a navi-gation refresher course coming up in November that will introduce new tech-nology and GPS training to the group. Pilots, too, need to keep current.

The one thing we live by is safety,” said Weatherhead. “We work with teams to take the necessary precautions. Safety must be taught and taught again.”

CASARA can be found in every prov-

ince, said Hall, under the umbrella of the Department of National Defence. In B.C., CASARA is also known as PEP Air. Those two organizations formed the air search and rescue model that is now flown across the country. And since it is a vol-unteer organization, much like the Saan-ich Peninsula’s marine search and rescue organizations, it relies on fund-raising and community support to stay aloft.

“Thank God for Gerry Manse (Victo-ria Flying Club),” said Weatherhead. “He’s been very good to us.”

He also thanks the Norrie Family (VIH Aviation Group) for their generosity in providing the training room.

Terry Stewart was honoured as a builder and booster during the recent presentation of the Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce’s Lifetime Achieve-ment award.

Held on Oct. 23 at Butchart Gardens, the Chamber’s 2014 Crystal Awards saw Stewart, who retired from the Victo-ria Airport Authority last June, receive the Lifetime Achieve-ment award from a supportive crowd. As media liaison and spokesperson for the airport authority, Stewart was involved in the community on the Saan-ich Peninsula in many ways and his work was recognized by the business community.

Stewart started with the air-port in 1991 and would soon become the wingman of VAA CEO Geoff Dickson. Stewart was

noted for his leadership qualities and his role in airport planning and growth over those years.

The VAA was established in 1997, read the presenter, and that saw Stewart occupied with developing airport land. Today, that amounts to approximately $400 million in local economic benefits from the industrial and commercial works taking place on VAA land.

One project — the new han-gar and headquarters for the 443 Maritime Helicopter Squad-ron — was worth around $104 million. During Stewart’s tenure with VAA, companies such as Thrifty Foods and Slegg Lumber set up major distribution cen-tres.

Stewart was praised for increasing the airport author-ity’s involvement with the com-munity over the years. They work closely with other compa-nies like Ramsay Machine Works

— which sometimes requires access to the runway to trans-port their large projects from the shop to Patricia Bay and a wait-ing barge.

Stewart was a part of the air-port’s work with local environ-mental groups to help restore their portion of Reay and Ten Ten creeks.

It was also noted he helped push for the McTavish Road interchange to help improve traffic flows to and from the air-port. Most recently, and right before Stewart’s retirement, VAA contributed a nine kilometre trail — the Flight Path — around the airport for public use.

“Terry did everything to ensure the airport was a good neighbour,” the Chamber stated.

Stewart, for his part, thanked the Chamber for its support — and his family for theirs over the [email protected]

Election 2014

Getting to know the candidates

Continuing in each edition of the Peninsula News Review right up until election day on Saturday, Nov. 15, we will be asking the candidates a series of questions about themselves and some of the top issues in Cen-

tral Saanich, North Saanich and Sidney.Each candidate — mayoral or for council — received the same questions

and were asked to submit their answers to the News Review. They will appear in two editions each week, representing the three municipalities on the Saan-ich Peninsula. School trustee candidates will be featured in separate articles.

— Steven Heywood, editor

North Saanich: This edition of the Peninsula News Review features the final round of Q&As with civic election candidates in North Saanich

Council candidates

Geoff OrrOccupation: Engineering consultant.Background: • Mechanical Engineering, UBC• Former owner of successful software

company• President of North Saanich Residents

Association for eight years (resident for 12).

• Coach and Executive Member of Penin-sula Minor Hockey for six years.

• Chair of Saanich Peninsula Water and Wastewater Commissions for six years.

• Current member of Airport Consulta-tive Committee and PROW.

1. Why are you running for Council?My involvement in a number of local organizations and com-

mittees for the past 10 years has provided me with a compre-hensive understanding of municipal operations and our rela-tionships with the CRD and other municipalities. North Saanich faces a number of challenging issues and I feel my technical, financial and people skills will be a valuable asset.

2. What are your top three issues to tackle, if elected?Initiate local area planning for the McTavish and Tsehum

housing areas. Sufficiently detailed planning must take place before any additional higher density proposals are considered.

Complete the review of District bylaws and OCP Development Permit Areas to ensure their continued relevance and achieve a reasonable balance of private and public interests.

Establish a long term taxation strategy in order to minimize tax increases, maintain core services and be prepared for future expenditures.

3. What are your priorities for housing policy in North Saanich?

North Saanich would benefit from a greater diversity of hous-ing. The location of approved projects must also be consistent with an overall land use policy. I support housing initiatives that

satisfy well defined objectives and are based on thorough, accu-rate information. Our housing policies must take into account that housing and workforce issues transcend municipal bor-ders.

More specifically, I support the Saanich Peninsula Hous-ing Partnership initiative and the adoption of secondary suite bylaws.

4. What are your thoughts on industrial, residential and agricultural balance in North Saanich?

Land use change is an increasingly critical issue for North Saanich. We must carefully manage growth to ensure adequate protection of the environment, agriculture and community char-acter.

Any shift in the industrial, residential and agricultural balance must be accompanied by an OCP review which will require effective and frequent community consultation.

5. What can residents expect of your behaviour on council this term?

Many residents have expressed their strong desire for a coun-cil that will work through often divisive issues in a manner that is respectful, inclusive and thorough. In my business, commit-tee and community activities I have consistently demonstrated these characteristics.

I’ve also earned a reputation for being well prepared. Resi-dents can rely on me to analyze issues in detail, be objective and identify when better data is required to make an informed decision.

YOUR VIEW

Attention North Saanich voters. Beware of possible dirty tricks and smear campaigns coming up, as happened before the 2011 election.

Do not be misled by gossip and rumours. Do your research. Do not believe everything you read. Seek the truth.

Try to verify claims made by all candidates online and in their pam-phlets. Look at past behaviour, vot-ing record and statements made by candidates seeking re-election.

Attend all candidates’ meetings. Ask questions.

And please elect a council for the next four years who best represents the present character of our munici-pality.

J. DomanNorth Saanich

Sights for sore eyes I wonder if anyone else finds the

multiple election signs as offensive as I do?

Is it necessary to pollute the landscape with so many signs? I for one find them as offensive as the attack ads usually affiliated with upcoming elections. The multiple signs at the intersection of Pat Bay highway and Beacon Avenue are distracting for drivers entering the highway.

One sign for each candidate would be sufficient, they certainly will not get my vote, in fact just the opposite.

Louise WorrallSidney

Open the doors to Reay Pond support

Reay Creek, an important environmental jewel of our

community, is at risk of being lost forever. Reay Creek Pond is an important wetland habitat and headwaters to more than a kilometer of active spawning grounds for wild Coho salmon and Cutthroat trout.

Reay Pond (known as the Sidney Duck Farm) is suffering a slow and agonizing death due to a history of contamination from industrial activites on and around the airport land as well as from heavy storm water runoff.

A complete lack of support, planning and action by municipal council to mitigate any or all of these issues at hand is very concerning. A complete lack of funding support to help maintain a balanced habitat has been documented for the past two terms.

More disturbing is the complete lack of interest and respect shown by the town towards environmental protection, overall safety concerns, and the protection of the taxpayers and property owners living on and adjacent to the waterway.

I look forward to a fresh new mayor and council on Nov. 15 that will lead with an open mind and an open forum, not from behind closed doors.

Reg KirkhamSidney

Sea King activity high I was glad to see the issue of the

Sea King helicopters in your Oct. 22 issue. I have resided in North Saanich for 11 years and it does seem there has been a crescendo of Sea King activity in that time, to the point where it is significantly and negatively affecting the peace of mind of property owners.

Given that the DND receives over a dozen formal, written complaints annually, and no doubt numerous phone complaints daily, I respectfully suggest that Mr. Arndt might want to exercise a little more consideration and empathy to the many people affected by said noise.

The helicopters do not enter and exit the airport in only a quick and efficient straight line, rather they are often seen doing circuits over the area and I am continually perplexed at how buzzing the rooftops of residential North Saanich is an integral part of training.

I understand that flying a long distance to a remote area to conduct training would be unreasonable and costly, but is Mr. Arndt absolutely sure that another appropriate location isn’t available not too far away, or at least elsewhere at the airport, other than directly adjacent to a large number of homes?

The large number of people voicing concern is not a case of “moving near an airport and complaining about the noise,” nor is anyone demanding that they stop or go away; rather, it is about mitigating this very real disturbance and source of deleterious stress for many.

From what I read in the article, it doesn’t appear that any real effort by the DND has been put towards mitigating this.

(Nov. 5 & 12), Central Saanich (Nov. 5 & 12) and North Saanich (Nov. 5 &13). Normally, the advance polls are used by folks who wish to vote but will find themselves away from their community on general election day.

But there’s nothing stopping anyone — even if they will be around home on Nov. 15 — from taking advantage of those early voting times.

School trustee candidate Elsie McMurphy pointed this out as at least one argument against not voting

this year. If people are worried about having the time to vote — or would just rather spend their Saturday with their families, for instance, they can

try an advance poll on for size.So, if a lack of time or bad timing is someone’s

excuse for not voting, there are a couple of alternatives to help wipe that away.

Yet, there are always other excuses for not voting in this, or any other election.

We’re not going to berate anyone for this (although we like the idea of mandatory voting, as in the Australian example) but we’d like to know why people don’t vote. The old excuse “there’s nothing to vote for” really doesn’t fly because as we’ve been saying for some time now, democracy is a participatory activity and finding something to vote for is up to each of us.

So let us know — why are you not planning to vote on Nov. 15?

If you’re willing to share your reasons with us, we will ask the candidates right before election day how they would respond and encourage you to change your mind. No sense in them preaching to the converted, right?

With voter turnout rates being the way they are, it’s time the candidates spoke to those who would not bother to cast their ballot and work hard to give them a reason to do so.

The old excuse “there’s nothing to vote for” really doesn’t fly

Central Saanich Coun-cillor Ryan Windsor has been cleared of any con-flict of interest allegations stemming from attending a public open house on the Maber Flats project.

In the past few weeks, the District of Central Saa-nich and council member Alicia Cormier said they received complaints that Councillor Ryan Windsor’s attendance at a pub-lic open house relating to the Maber Flats property was felt to be in con-flict since he owns property adjacent to the land.

Windsor had already declared a conflict of interest and did not partic-ipate in any voting or decision mak-ing on the project. He said last week in an interview with the PNR that he attended the public open house as a resident and taxpayer of the District.

Cormier called for a review of Windsor’s attendance at the open house during last Monday’s council

meeting where she made a notice of motion, but that notice of motion was not supported.

Subsequently, at the Oct. 27 council meeting, a rise and report was read stating that no disqualifying con-duct on Councillor Wind-sor’s part had taken place.

“After reviewing the alle-gations and receiving legal advice, council has deter-mined that the allegations

do not disclose any disqualifying conduct. As such, council does not intend to pursue this matter further,” read the report.

In order to maintain solicitor-client privilege, council will not be provid-ing any details on the legal advice it received, said Mayor Alastair Bryson.

“This situation, although difficult for all concerned, illustrates how our democratic society is based on the principle of holding elected officials accountable to government policies and legislative requirements,” said Cormier in a statement to the [email protected]

Vast amounts of wealth are being transferred each year to younger Canadian genera-

tions. The effective application of these tax-free windfalls can make a significant and pos-itive impact on the recipi-ent’s retirement planning, and eventual retirement.

To recap part of an arti-cle written several years ago, the most beneficial and logical sequence for application of an inheri-tance is:

• Pay off as much debt as the inherited funds allow.

• If funds still remain — and the recipient is employed; is in a high marginal tax bracket; and has unused RRSP contribution room — utilize funds to top up some or all of that RRSP eligibility, receiving a substan-tial tax-refund as a result.

• If in a lower tax bracket, or with no unused RRSP contribution eligi-bility, apply funds instead to top up unused TFSA contribution eligibility of the recipient, his spouse, or per-haps any adult children.

• If all of the above have been con-sidered and optimized, and excess inherited funds still remain, invest them in a non-registered account.

In the latter scenario, there is a great long-term advantage to ensur-ing that future taxes resulting from the investments in the non-registered account be as low as possible.

A key way to ensure this is to split the tax burden with a spouse.

If the inheritance was received jointly, there is no issue. By making the non-registered account joint, the taxable income or capital gain is automatically and equally split between spouses.

If, however, the inheritance was

received by only one spouse, more care needs to be taken to ensure that CRA does not apply the “attribution” rule, whereby all future taxes on

the account are assessed against the spouse who received the inheritance.

A mere “gifting” of half the funds, to a spouse, may not be enough, especially if the amount is immediately invested.

Attribution would likely follow.

While the Canada Reve-nue Agency (CRA) may not police the attribution rules on smaller amounts, there is only one sure way to

split the future tax impact between spouses without risk of tax attribu-tion.

The partner who received the inheritance can “loan” one half of the sum remaining for investment to his/her spouse.

A written agreement should exist detailing the loan and charging the receiving spouse at least the CRA minimum specified annual interest — currently set at one per cent.

If for example, $100,000 were to be “loaned” to a spouse, the lender must actually be paid $1,000 inter-est annually and report that sum as interest income. However, the tax-able earnings or capital gains within the non-registered account would be split evenly between the spouses – usually saving a significant amount of tax.

In implementing this approach to minimize future taxes on inherited funds, it is best to seek the detailed guidance of your accountant

Occupation: Com-mercial insurance bro-ker.

Background: Growing up in the

Cowichan Valley I understand and appre-ciate the attraction of open spaces and farm country feel which made it an easy choice to live in North Saanich. Being a part of a dairy farm family is a lifestyle not a job as the fam-ily pitches in to assist each other with a team effort.

My business career has been spent as a small business owner

building a Canada-wide team representing phar-maceuticals to veteri-narians and, in deciding to remove work travel from my life, I am now a commercial insurance broker concentrating on commercial prop-erty owners, farms and manufacturing on Van-couver Island.

1. Why are you run-ning for Council?

I am running for council because North Saanich is an incredible community and since our family plans on liv-ing out our lives here I want to ensure that it stays a vibrant, car-ing and inclusive com-munity for all residents and businesses.

2. What are your top three issues to tackle, if elected?

• Maintaining the rural and agricultural characteristics of North Saanich.

• The right of prop-

erty owners to update and care for their living and work space with-out heavy regulation.

• Promoting a com-munity attractive to working and retired individuals and fami-lies.

3. What are your priorities for housing policy in North Saan-ich?

Housing that is attractive for profes-sional, trade and ser-vice workforce families and downsizing seniors wanting to age in place. Higher density housing should only be in areas that are appropriate and do not impact the identity of North Saan-ich.

4. What are your thoughts on indus-trial, residential and agricultural balance in North Saanich?

The two major gate-ways to and from Van-couver Island exist within North Saanich and these have drawn the industrial activity that is partially respon-

sible for our fiscal suc-cess, and help support the residential and agricultural areas that make North Saanich the well balanced com-munity it is today.

Ensuring there are housing options to support the diversity needed for our commu-nity’s fiscal viability is imperative.

5. What can resi-dents expect of your behaviour on council this term?

Residents can expect my respectful and open minded approach to all council members and residents’ opinions, concerns and views.

Council candidates — North Saanich

Celia StockOccupation: Councillor, consultant and

retired federal public servant.Background: A 40-year professional career in the fed-

eral and Yukon and NWT public service, working in policy and comprehensive claims and self-government negotiations with First Nations across Canada (including the tri-partite modern treaty negotiations process in B.C.).

1. Why are you running for Council? I am running for council because I want

to continue my public service to the com-munity of North Saanich, applying my knowledge and experi-ence at the council table.

2. What are your top three issues to tackle, if elected?Financial matters and property taxes. Work to maintain low/

reasonable levels of property taxes in North Saanich, including engagement with the Province in determining cost–effective ways to finance local government. Determine the future of land development/use in North Saanich and review either the OCP or portions thereof. Bringing into effect an Affordable Housing Policy and the Secondary Suites Policy in North Saanich.


My approach to new housing policy in North Saanich is not to continue approving, with no revision whatsoever, ad-hoc devel-opment proposals for the “same old, same old style of house,” sold at $400,000. And more. But, to respond to the need for dif-ferent and contemporary options for more affordable, worker, family and seniors’ housing. My view is that we need balanced

and paced housing development in accordance with our OCP and the Regional Growth Strategy.

4. What are your thoughts on industrial, residential and agricultural balance in North Saanich?

In North Saanich, we are faced with a situation where one-third of our land is already taken up by the Victoria Airport, the B.C. Ferry terminal, the Plant Health Centre, the Institute for Ocean Sciences, schools and other public institutions. One-third of our land is being used as farmland and/or is within the Agricultural Land Reserve. This leaves the remaining one-third for other purposes, such as parks, rights of way, trails, beach access and residential.

This is what we have to deal with and I do not think we should remove land from the ALR or agricultural use. The Victoria Airport Authority does control a lot of land used for industrial purposes, and, so far, there has not been a need for extra land for this purpose.


Residents can expect that I will continue to bring positive energy to council; that I will continue to be accountable, and provide respectful leadership they can trust.

I will continue to listen and engage with residents, work col-laboratively and respectfully with council members and staff, always adhering to the ethics and values of good governance.

What Do You Think?

In conjunction with voting during the November Local Government General Election, the District of Central Saanich will be including a non-binding opinion question for voters to answer. The non-binding question that you are being asked to con-sider when you arrive at the polls in November is: Should the District of Central Saanich petition the Prov-ince to fund a cost/benefit analysis of an amalgamation of Central Saanich, North Saanich and Sidney?

Yes or No The purpose of the question is to provide the next Council with an indication of the inclination of the Central Saanich community for petitioning the Province to fund a study respecting the potential amalgamation of the three penin-sula municipalities.

Occupation: Artisan woodworker.

Background: I have been self

employed since 1977. I turned my attention to local politics in Surrey.

In the mid ‘70s I was involved in the B.C. Food Co-op movement, eventually working as a co-ordinator at the cen-tral warehouse, Fed-UP Co-op Wholesale.

In 1976 I purchased a house with friends in Surrey. We bought a new place near Cres-cent Beach in 1979

with their two children arriving in ‘80 and ‘85. I started being more politically active in local issues.

I moved here in 2012.


I think I can help. Over the past 20

years, I have done the work to educate myself about the roles and issues involved in local government. I am pre-pared to do the job.

Overlooking Samish Bay and offering spectacular views of the San Juan Islands, this narrow cliff face road was, up until 1931, a treacherous section of the old Pacific Highway. It was the first road link between Vancouver and US cities as far south as San Diego, California.My recent ride along the Chuckanut was in a Toyota Prius v (for versatility). It’s a relatively new addition to the Prius family, which now includes a smaller Prius C and a plug-in hybrid version called Prius PHV, in addition to the original Prius (a 5-door hatchback).Before I get to the ride, some background facts on the car, which will demonstrate why it was a good choice for the drive. The wagon-like body of Prius v is a little longer and taller than a regular Prius. There’s more room for rear passengers and there’s an impressive 58 per cent increase in rear cargo space. Its 60/40 split rear seats not only fold flat, they can also slide forward on a rail system and the seatbacks can recline.Under the hood, Toyota’s latest Hybrid Synergy Drive system provides propulsion. The gas engine is now a belt-less 1.8-litre Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder. On the electric side of the hybrid equation, the inverter, motor and transaxle are smaller and lighter than the previous generation. A nickel-metal hydride battery pack stores the electrical energy. Competitive hybrid drive systems now use lithium-ion battery technology, but this battery has proven to be very reliable.A downside to being a bigger Prius, the V is also a little heavier, which impacts fuel consumption, but not by much. Using the revised (2015) fuel consumption rating method it gets 5.3 L/100km in the city and 5.8 L/100km on the highway. I averaged 5.5 L/100km

during my time in the Prius v, which is right in the ballpark.In addition to a standard driving mode, the Prius v offers three additional driv-ing modes that are selected by pressing a switch on the centre console. EV is a pure-electric mode, but its range is lim-ited (about 1.5 km) and it only operates at speeds up to 40 km/hour. In ECO mode, fuel consumption is reduced by limiting throttle openings and restricting air conditioning use. In Power mode the Hybrid Drive System gives everything it can muster and this mode automatically switches on when you stomp on the gas pedal. The Chuckanut is a stretch of road that demands a cautious, easy-on-the-gas pedal driving style – just as a Hybrid

does! Scenic splendour is a constant distraction on your right (heading south), but there’s a steep 200 feet drop in some stretches, an unforgiving rock face on the left and lots of sharp bends. There are numer-ous pull-off locations at viewing spots. Larrabee State Park is certainly worth a visit and agood place for a hike or a beach-side picnic. South of Colony Creek Bridge the Chuckanut runs through the flat fertile planes of the Skagit Valley. It’s a dramatic change in landscape, the sky is suddenly bigger and the road ahead is long and straight as far you can see. For an interesting side trip take the Bow Hill Road into the charming little village of Bow-Edi-son and, further on, this road also takes you to Samish Island.A recommended stop in Edison is the Breadfarm, where you can buy a hearty Chuckanut Multigrain Loaf. This family run business makes baked goods from scratch and in small batches using old fashioned techniques and organic ingredients. The fresh baked smells are intoxicating and the taste ... divine!

An interesting historical footnote, at one time (in the late 19th century, Edison was a community of Utopian Socialists known as the Equality Colony).Not sure if I’ll ever get completely comfortable with the central instrument panel in a Prius. A switch button on the dash that changed kilometres to miles, however, was brilliantly simple and perfect for this trip. My biggest beef with the Prius v was cabin road noise at high speeds. Depending on the highway sur-face it can be so loud that it’s hard to converse with a front passenger.Bigger and better, the Prius v offers the functionality and versatility of a wagon, for a relatively small price premium. Toyota’s tried and trusted Hybrid Synergy Drive system offers outstanding fuel economy and surprisingly good power, when needed.

It’s fitting that there should be such a thing as a Jeep Trailblazer.But it’s not the aforemen-tioned vehicle that I’m writing about today, rath-er the accessory range that adorn so many Jeeps today. The truth is that Jeep trailblazed what is now a booming accessory business for all makes and models of trucks.Smittybilt has been around for years and it has a lot to offer in the way of Jeep add-ons. An XRC front bumper is available to fit Jeeps from 1976-2014, manufactured from 3/16” cold roll steel. The XRC bumper is formed to manouevre your Jeep over obstacles such as those large boul-ders that seem to jump out at you at every turn. There is a built in winch plate that can accept up to a 10,000lb winch. Painted in a matte black powder coated finish and features a five year war-ranty. Cost is $515.99.

There is also a matching rear bumper that has a built in tire carrier. This carrier can handle up to a 37” tall tire and is also matte black. It has a class three trailer hitch and d-ring mounts welded inside and out. This costs $337.79. XRC rock sliders are ideal for rock crawling; they protect the side of your Jeep from unwanted body damage and cost $368.59. Armor corner guards provide a larger wheel well opening and feature a fender flare and fuel filler door. SRC tubular doors replace the factory doors and bolt up to the factory door hinges, a very easy install. $368.Roof racks are another popular item for Jeeps especially with the limited space. The SRC rack has removable cross bars for easy soft or hard top removable and is designed to work with Thule or Yakima roof rack accessories. It can hold up to 300 lbs and its

contoured design flows well with the jeeps body lines. The cost is $429.Interior soft good items are available to attach to the factory roll-cage and can hold a variety of items such as cellphones, flashlights, fire extin-guishers, and even a bottle of water. Smittybilt also offers a centre con-sole that has a security compartment and addi-tional cup holders. This console is $110.00.There is a full line of trail equipment available. A clinometer that can be mounted on the dash and show you what angle you are on, side to side and front to back. It features a cool picture of a jeep in the dials. Cost is $24.59. A Trail jack is a very use-ful item to take with you into the back country. It is rated up to 4660 lbs and is constructed of solid cast steel that is powder coated. $92.19. Recovery straps are another valu-able item to have and are available in 2x20, 2x30, and 3x30 feet lengths.

They range in price from $24.59 to $49.19. The Recovery utility tool is a collapsible shovel that is very similar to the ones used in the military; it features two serrated edges for cutting and digging. Fully extended it is 26 inches long and collapsed is 9 inches, an

easy item to pack and a great tool to carry with you. Cost is $20.89. For more information on any of these products or other products I have not mentioned, go to [email protected]

Jeep blazed a trail for now booming accessory business

By Keith Morgan

Driving all 3,945 kilometres of the famous Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica has always been on my bucket list.However, I’m hoping that after enduring a week on that often rocky and rough road that it will not be the last of my ever expanding must-do-before-I-die list! On Saturday, November 1, I head to Chicago for a route briefing and meeting with Gary Fleshman, who has driven the route more than 100 times. I am one of 14 journalists from across Can-ada participating in the drive staged by Nissan Canada to launch the 2015 versions of the Altima sedan and Rogue sport ute. Interestingly, a few people plan to do only half of

the journey . . . seems to me that’s like climbing half way up Everest!The daily trek will range between 450 and 600 kilometres, getting us to California by the evening of Saturday, November 9. We’ll pass through Illinois, Missouri, Okla-

homa, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California.Along the way, we will visit many locations and attrac-tions made famous through Hollywood and many a TV documentary, not to mention dozens of life-on-the-road books. Personally, I’m looking forward to spotting the roadside ghost towns that inspired the Cars movies, who said they’re just for kids? And in New Mexico and Arizona my eyes will be scanning for locations featured in the Breaking Bad TV series.We’re camping under the stars in the Grand Canyon. Sheesh! The last time I was under canvas was about 25 years ago when I accompa-nied my son Niall to his Bea-ver camp. An overnight stay at the El Travatore Motel, in Bullhead City, AZ, where we

pick a theme room, quickly follows that chill night. Elvis Presley or Marilyn Monroe? Wonder if this drive was on their bucket list.The organizers suggested we swap partners part way across before fights break out. My drive buddy for four days will be Toronto Star scribe Mark Richardson. Second prize was eight days with my fellow Brit. Truth is neither of us will spoil another couple, well at least for four days.I’m currently watching as many episodes of the 1960s’ era Route 66 TV series as I can and digesting every story about music inspired by the highway. Of course, I’m making a compilation tape, I mean picking a playlist for my generic MP3 player. I will be sharing my adven-tures with Driveway readers during and after the trip. Blogging begins on driveway-bc.ca this coming weekend and a full report will appear in print and online in late November.Off to get my kicks on Route 66. Adios . . . for [email protected]

An electric luxury car designed to avert range anxietyBy Zack Spencer

It is often lamented that many of the concept cars at the international auto shows never see the light of day as production vehicles.Well, the Cadillac ELR looks every bit like a futuristic concept and it is available today. This car is something to see, especially in person, with sweeping lines and ag-gressive front lights, like a spaceship. In fact it won the 2013 Eyes on Design Award at the North American International Auto Show, an award judged by all of the heads of design form each automaker in attendance…that’s some judging panel At first glance it has more than a passing resemblance to the Cadillac CTS Coupe but underneath is a very different platform.

LooksThis is essentially the Chevrolet Volt electric car, morphed into a Cadillac,

with two fewer doors. Tak-ing what Cadillac learned from the CTS coupe and transplanting that look onto an electric car has made the ELR a high-end electric al-ternative, to say a Tesla. The two-door design has hidden electronic door handles that

release by touching a pad inside the recessed door handle. Not to worry, there is a redundant mechanical mechanism. The 20-inch wheels have specially designed tires for efficiency and handling. The trunk is a

good size for a small sporty coupe, but it is the front where all the jewelry is showcased. The headlamps are stunning to see during the day or at night. The ver-tical daytime running light are Cadillac’s signature now and they look fantastic. The LED headlamps along with rear LED lights make this a true luxury product.

InsideThe same futuristic and luxury approach continues on the inside. The materials used are spectacular, rich and welcoming. Cadillac combines alcantara (faux suede), chrome, wood, hand cut and sown leather seats and available carbon fibre. This combination of colours and textures, combined with the sweeping shape is first rate. This interior can stand on its own with any other luxury brand. Cadillac uses the same Cue infotain-ment and communications system throughout its line

of products and it features a rich graphics package with cutting edge con-nectivity. But this car isn’t without fault. The touch sensitive centre console isn’t for everyone; some might prefer traditional knobs and buttons and the high gloss surfaces can show dirt quickly. Then there is the back seat or lack of. This isn’t a four-seat car but a two-seater with storage for a gym bag. Why this has back seats is a mystery.

DriveThe Chevrolet Volt is the best selling electric car in Canada, not the Tesla or the Nissan LEAF. People have come to realize that the combination of electric range and a gasoline-ex-tending generator is a good compromise; it isn’t all elec-tric or nothing. The ELR, just like the Volt it is based on, is plugged in and charged, usually overnight. It takes

more than 12-hours on a typical 120V plug to get the job done or about five hours on a more powerful 240V system. Once charged, the car runs on electricity for about 65 km before the gasoline extender kicks in to allow the driver to run up to 480km, or longer, if the car is refueled. The 16.5 kWh lithium-ion battery pack and the electric motor puts out 295 lb.-ft of torque to the front wheels, similar power to the Cadillac 3.6-li-tre gasoline engine used in other products. One way to extend the electric range is to use regenerative braking to help recharge the battery. The paddle shifters behind the steering wheel do that.

The driver can use these in combination with the regular brake to modulate driving. It takes practice but is kind of fun.

VerdictHere is the part that is hard to swallow, the price. The ELR starts at $78,250-- lot of money for any car. This is a very limited market, a two-door sporty looking Cadillac that is also electric. If they made this into a sexy 4-door, the ELR would have more takers. As it stands, Telsa seems to have that market cornered for sexy and expensive electric cars. What the Cadillac has over the Tesla is a world-class interior, something Tesla

has fallen short on. On the flipside, Tesla has a huge available electric range without the aid of a gaso-line engine. So the market for the ELR is limited. If you are in the market for a two door futuristic ready to drive concept car, this one is very well executed; it turns heads everywhere it [email protected]

When the Opry returns to Saanichton’s Friendship Community Church, it will be some-thing of a homecoming.

Leslie Gentile of Brentwood’s Music in the Bay, says the Grand Caribou Opry has been coming to Saan-ichton for eight of its nine years since it was started by musician Barney Bentall. It’s a blend of folksy fun and a set of roots, folk and rock music.

On Nov. 7, the Opry is back home, featuring Bentall, his son Dustin and a lineup of other performers like Ridley Bent, Kendel Carson, Matt Masters and the Gold Rush All Stars. Gentile added there’s always a special guest invited up on stage — last year it was Neil Osborne of the Cana-dian band 54-40. Right now, this year’s guest performer is a bit of a secret.

“Barney has been doing the Opry since a show in Vancouver nine years ago,” she said. “In its second year, they were looking to bring it to the Island.”

Gentile said musi-cian Leslie Alexander recommended it come to Saanichton and ever since, the shows have sold out.

This year will be no different, Gentile said, noting that as of Oct. 29 there were few tickets left. They may still be available at Breadstuffs Bakery and the Dollar Den in Brentwood Bay, Lyle’s Place in Victo-ria and online at www.brentwoodbay.info.

The intimate Saan-ichton shows attract people from up and down the Island, Gen-tile said, with many people coming back again and again.

“The show has taken on a life of its own,” she said.

Every Grand Caribou Opry is a fundraiser, Gentile said, and once again the Saanichton and Victoria shows will benefit the Sidney Lions Food Bank and the Mustard Seed. Over the eight years, Gentile said the shows have raised $65,000 for the food banks.

To help raise money, song sponsorships

are sold to local busi-nesses.

“Barney and Matt Masters write an intro to (sponsored) songs,” she explained. “The audience loves it and the money goes directly to the food banks.”

Last year, the song Baby Lay Down was sponsored by Brent-wood Bay Massage Therapy.

The Saanichton show gets started at 7 p.m., doors open at 6:30.

The Victoria show is Nov. 8 7 p.m. at the First Metropolitan United Church on Bal-moral Road. For more information, call 250-652-1758.

NORTH SAANICH — Jazz Vespers at St. John’s United Church welcomes back the flamenco-hybrid trio, Sunyata, on Sunday, Nov. 2 at 7 p.m.

Performing original music with Medi-terranean roots, Sunyata is Jim Gawne on mandoquela, Ken Hall on guitar and Laurent Boucher on percussion.

Gawne has an eclectic musical back-ground, from studying New Music and electronic composition with Barry Truax at SFU, to playing jazzgrass with David Grisman.

He has a passion for all the world’s string instruments and an insatiable desire to adopt them into the mandolin family.

He currently plays a custom-built hybrid instrument that appears to be a guitar, but is actually a five-string man-dolin.

Gawne co-founded Sunyata in the

1990s, and their first CD was released internationally in 1997, where it was ranked as third in the World Beat charts for most of that year. The current incar-nation of Sunyata has been performing together since 1999.

Hall studied composition at the Royal Conservatory in Toronto. Since moving to the Victoria area he has played in and been a founding member of some of Vic-toria’s most successful bands including The Sidewalk Blues band, Kumbia, Sun-yata and The Sara Merreiros band.

Boucher was raised in a musical fam-ily in Montreal. He first studied violin but then moved to percussion at the age of 10.

Since moving to the west coast in the early ‘80s, he has been active in a vari-ety of musical projects, ranging in style from rock and pop to big band and world music.

Boucher has performed with Randy Bachman, Mark Atkinson, Miles Black, Phil Dwyer, Neil Swainson, Rene Worst, Bill Henderson, Celso Machado and oth-ers. He lives, performs and teaches on Saltspring Island.

The Jazz Vespers series will continue on Dec. 7 with the David Vest Trio, on Jan. 4 with Quinn Bachand and Friends and on Feb. 8 with Edie DaPonte and Company.

All Jazz Vespers services begin at 7 p.m. St. John’s United Church is located at 10990 West Saanich Rd., across from Deep Cove School.

There is no admission charge, and an offering will be taken to cover the cost of the musicians and the Vespers program.

For further information, call Berna-dette at 250-656-0875 or email [email protected] to be included on an email list of upcoming concerts.

This month, a group of students from Bay-side Middle School held a coin drive to support

the Red Cross’ relief efforts in the ongoing Ebola crisis.

The Youth in Action Club, made up of stu-dents from Grades 6 to 8, decided on their

own to support the Red Cross’ efforts.

They made up post-ers and called upon their fellow school-mates to bring their loose change to sup-

port the cause.“Myself and Athena

Pimentel and Elsa d’Anjou came up with the idea for the cause,” explained Grade 8 stu-

dent Akaylia Scott.“The best part is

through the Red Cross program, the Hudson’s Bay Company Founda-tion will match what is

raised,” she added.As of Tuesday of this

week, the students had raised almost $200 in loose change and small bills and the dona-

tions were expected to keep rolling in through Wednesday.

Sidney mayoral can-didate Steve Price says

he wants his position on the future of Bea-con Avenue clarified from the News Review’s report on the forum

held Oct. 21 at the Mary Winspear Centre.

In the report, the News Review briefly outlined each can-didate’s position on Beacon Avenue traffic flow and whether they favour keeping it as-is, or making it a two-way route.

Currently, the stretch of Beacon between Fifth and First streets is one-way.

The candidates, Price, Steve Duck, Don Amos and Cliff McNeil-Smith were asked whether they’d make the route two-way, if elected.

As reported, Price, Amos and McNeil-Smith leaned towards the ‘no’ side, with only McNeil-Smith stating outright ‘no’ — and nothing else. Price referred to a municipal satisfaction survey that showed 90 per cent of respondents want the road left as-is. He said he’s willing to support that result and not change the street. Amos noted that the one-way pattern works well. In fact, he was serving as mayor when

the street was changed from two-way to the split traffic pattern. He added if the traffic flow were to change, the entire downtown traf-fic pattern would have to be examined and that could take years. He added he likes it the way it is.

Duck said current traffic flow is confus-ing and noted when the one-way system was started, it was sup-posed to be a six-month trial. He added to deter-mine the best way pos-sible, the council would have to consider all options — from cars to pedestrians and bikes.

The traffic issue has been top of mind among some Sidney business owners for years.

Sidney’s mayoral candidates join their council counterparts at the next public forum, Nov. 4, 7 p.m. at the Mary Winspear Centre — hosted by the Saan-ich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce and the News Review.

GREATER VICTORIA MARKET UPDATE »

Laura LavinBlack Press

Every homeowner knows the learning curve is never ending when you own your own home.

Along with washing the dishes and sweeping the floor come routine maintenance tasks and minor repairs that occur both seasonally and when you least expect it.

We’ve compiled a Top 10 list of around the house chores and trouble shooting ideas that every homeowner should know.

Clean gutters: Leaves, pine needles and other debris will clog your gutters routinely and keeping them clear will help keep rain off your roof and drain it away from your house. Clean your gutters twice a year or more frequently if you have overhanging trees and after a wind storm. Use a sturdy ladder and place it on a firm, level base. Protect your hands with work gloves and use a small trowel to help scoop debris out of the gutter working away from the drain. To keep things tidy, use a bucket to scoop the leaves into. Then use a hose to clean out each section of gutter. Finally, make sure your drainpipes are clear. Use a hose or plumber’s snake to push out any clogs.

Find a wall stud: Hanging heavy items inside means using the strongest part of your wall – the stud. The easiest way is to use an electronic stud finder,

but when you don’t have one handy there are other easy ways to locate a stud. Most electrical outlets are fastened to the side of a stud, so check beside or within an inch of the outlet. Most studs are 16 inches apart, so use a small drill bit or nail and drill in just above the baseboard to make sure you’re on target.

Unclog a toilet: The first step to unclogging the toilet is to make sure you have the right plunger. Purchase an accordion plunger, which is better suited to the task than a cup plunger. If the

water is about to overflow the bowl, remove the top of the tank and close the flap at the bottom of the tank. Remove excess water from the bowl if necessary. Warm the rubber of the plunger under hot running water before placing it over the toilet drain, allowing water into the plunger. Once it’s sealed around the hole plunge up and down a few times, keeping the plunger as vertical as possible.

Change a furnace filter: On most furnaces the filter will be adjacent to the furnace. The filter box

may be covered by a small door, or the filter itself will be visible inside a notch that it slides into. Pull the old filter out and discard it. Look on the new filter for airflow arrows that are printed along the sides of the filter. These arrows are always meant to point in the direction of the airflow. Slide the furnace filter into the filter air box with the arrows pointing toward the furnace.

Remove a broken light bulb: First make sure the power is off or the lamp is unplugged. Wear gloves

and eye protection to ward off broken glass, then, using a pair of needle-nose pliers, grip the metal edge of the base and start turning counter-clockwise. The base may split and break off before the base turns. If this happens, drop it in the garbage and start on a new piece of the base. Alternatively, A raw potato, cut in half pushed firmly over the filament and into the base can be used to twist the bulb loose.

Look for the next half of our Top 10 list in next Friday’s Homefinder.

Second, is to update the OCP. Our OCP needs to be reviewed not rewritten. Identi-fying Urban Containment Boundaries and finding the best use of our limited devel-opment opportunities are priorities. Local Area Plans should be developed before proj-ects are considered. The goal is to diversify our population while protecting agriculture and our rural nature.

Third is to maintain fiscal responsibility while maintaining roads, drainage, sewers and adequate contingency funds.


There is still a need for entry level market housing and some non market options as well. Downsizing seniors and assisted living units will be also needed on the Peninsula. Planning for these are best approached col-lectively with Sidney and Central Saanich.


North Saanich is, and will remain, largely rural and agricultural in nature with some limited development where we border Sid-ney and the airport. One reason I favour an evolution to amalgamation with our imme-diate neighbors is to plan collectively to achieve the balance needed for a complete community.


This is where I can make my best con-tribution. I have worked to make personal connection with councillors and advo-cates. Respect is earned by both words and actions and I will lead by example. I will vigorously debate issues, not motive or per-sonality. I hope voters will consider some new faces who will seek consensus.
