SIDNEY — Two offi-cers with the Sidney North Saanich RCMP received Awards of Valour from the prov-ince this week.

Corporal Erin Fraser and Constable Gary Lacey were recognized for their arrest of an armed and violent offender.

Awards of Valour are the highest award for a police officer in B.C. According to the Min-istry of Justice, they are given to officers who “made a decision to place themselves at substantial personal risk to save others.”

Twenty-two offi-cers earned Awards of Valour and 44 were awarded meritori-ous service honours, which recognize exem-plary performance that exceeds expectations.

Lieutenant Gover-nor Judith Guichon and Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton gave the awards out at B.C.’s 35th annual Police Honours Night. For a full list, visit pssg.gov.bc.ca/policeservices.

Steven HeywoodNews staff

With Lego leading the way, the Sidney Museum has seen

improvements in both visi-tors and its bottom line year over year since they started expanding their Beacon Ave-nue location.

Now, the museum is seeking an increase in its annual fund-ing from the Town of Sidney to pay for an assistant to help with the museum’s day-to-day operations and security.

Peter Garnham, museum executive director, says the Society that runs the museum and archives are after an additional $5,000 from the municipality to help cover the expenses of a part-time assistant, estimated to be close to $15,000 in 2016. Garnham said the museum would pay $5,000 of its own m o n e y , a d d i n g in cash t h e y e a r n e d in sur-plus this year, to top up t h e

assistant’s part-time sal-ary to close to $15,000.

This year’s sur-plus sits at approx-imately $11,600. Garnham pointed out they were able to bring in

that extra money thanks to their spe-

cial exhibits — the Family Day Lego dis-play, as well a s

the teddy bear and doll col-lections.

Those three were the muse-um’s main draws in 2015. In a report to Town council, Garnham explained that their It’s a Doll’s Life exhibit in July and August drew in almost 2,000 people — and donations of close to $4,000. The teddy bear exhibit in November and December of 2014 attracted more than 1,000 visitors and donations totalling around $2,000. The biggest draw is

the Lego display, part of Sidney’s Family Day week-

end events that saw an estimated 6,000 people

in town over three days. Garnham said that accounted for the lion’s share

of their dona-tions between the three top exhibits. The 2015 Lego dis-play at the museum lasted three months and saw around 10,000 people.

“We’re antici-pating seeing 16,000 in 2016,” he said.

The 2016 Lego display will have an

aeronaut ica l

theme, he said, with Lego builders working on a six-foot Twin Otter aircraft — like those built at North Saanich’s Viking Air.

Overall attendance at the Sidney Museum between Jan-uary and August has jumped to 13,765, compared with 12,141 last year. Donations, too, jumped —increasing to $26,173 in the same time frame, compared with $17,623 in 2014. Garnham credits increased visibility, better marketing of local events and better temporary exhibits and displays at the museum itself.

As a result of the increased foot traffic, and an expanded facility, Garnham said the museum needs an assistant to help volunteers watch over the artifacts and collections. The role was been held by stu-dents in the past, but Garnham said he wants something more permanent in place.

That’s why the museum is prepared to share the cost with the municipality, which has yet to consider bump-ing its current grant to the museum from $72,000 per year, to the suggested $77,000.

Either way, Garnham said the museum has seen signifi-cant growth this year, exceed-ing expectations.

Most unionized pro-vincial employees in health, education and other jobs will get an extra raise of just under one half of one per cent in February.

About 80 per cent of B.C. public sector unions have signed employment contracts under the province’s “economic stability mandate.” That gives them raises of 5.5 per

cent over five years, plus a share of eco-nomic growth in each year it exceeds the independent forecast used in the provincial budget.

Statistics Canada has finalized the growth of the B.C. economy at 3.2 per cent for 2014, sub-stantially more than the finance ministry’s independent forecast council estimate of 2.3 per cent. That triggers the contract provision to increase pay for pro-

vincial employees by 0.45 per cent starting in February.

In dollar terms, the finance ministry calcu-lates that a grade one medical technologist will see an increase of $300 a year, or $970 over the rest of the con-tract term. A teacher will get $346 a year, and an education assistant gets $109 a year.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the growth of gross domes-tic product reflects a strong year for exports and some employment growth in 2014. Busi-ness investment was also up 5.4 per cent last year, and there was a 3.5 per cent increase in

household consump-tion spending province-wide.

The outlook for the current year does not look as good for addi-tional increases, he said, but the agree-ments are “one way” and there are no reduc-tions for employees if the economy under-performs.

The province and its agencies such as uni-versities and Crown corporations employ 387,000 people, of which about 313,000 are unionized. About 20 per cent of those employees have not yet settled agreements under the economic stability mandate.

OAK BAY — For Canada and the world to be truly successful, we must recognize the inherent rights of chil-dren to have a say in their lives from a young age, suggests an Island man urging Canadi-ans to declare Nov. 20 Rights of the Child Day.

“Graduated steps into democratic self-reliance must begin at

birth and not be one giant leap at the age of majority,” says John McDonald, a former school teacher and school trustee now liv-ing in Duncan.

The initiative would recognize the anni-versary of the United Nations’ adoption of Declaration of the Rights of the Child and raise awareness of the important, com-prehensive document, creating potentially far-

reaching effects. “If kids knew what

their rights are and what they’re not, it would be a better world.

“They would under-stand democracy,” he said.

The initiative’s roots date back to 1924, and the Geneva Declara-tion on the Rights of the Child, followed by the 1959 Declaration of the Rights of the child adopted by the United

Nations. Fast-forward to Nov. 20, 1989, and the Declaration of the Rights of the child was adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations and ratified in Canada several years later.

McDonald broadly categorized the Rights of the Child under three main headings:

• The Right to Sur-vival – through the pro-vision of adequate food, shelter, clean water and primary health care;

• The Right to Pro-tection – from abuse, neglect and exploita-tion, including the right to special protection in times of war;

• The Right to Develop – in a safe

environment, through the provision of formal education, construc-tive play, advanced health care and the opportunity to partici-pate in the social, eco-nomic and religious life of their culture, free from discrimination.

Essential to the ini-tiative is introducing democracy at a young age as a way of raising democratically minded adults.

“You can’t raise

minors with no say into their lives,” McDonald said.

“We can’t raise our kids in an undemocratic household and school system then send them out on their own and say, ‘Now you need to live in a democracy,’” McDonald argues.

He suggested that if children are going to learn about democracy, it needs to begin when they’re young.

People – including children – have a strong

tendency to do and be what is expected of them, he says.

“Therefore the great-est danger to our soci-ety is the concept that young people are irre-sponsible, stupid, can-not think and are inca-pable of building the future that the present adults must live in,” McDonald said.

“Well, you better have faith in our off-spring for it is their world that we (adults) will have to live in,” he continued, adding, “adults have not given us much to boast about in human development. Is it time to include chil-dren in future planning.

“Make Nov. 20 the Rights of the Child Day.”

Council is anticipat-ing spending around $10,000 on speed reader boards to improve traf-fic safety in the Tanner Ridge area.

Council approved $4,200 be allocated in the public works bud-get to relocate the elec-tronic speed sign from Keating Cross Road to Tanner Road. Staff also allocated a supplemen-tal amount of around $6,000 for the 2016 bud-get for new electronic speed signs. They would like to see the cost associated with the purchasing of four new reader boards go into council’s 2016 bud-get deliberations before they finalize the deci-sion.

At the Nov. 9 Com-mittee of the Whole meeting, council heard a report from Consta-ble Paul Brailey with Central Saanich Police Service’s Traffic Safety Section on a Tanner Ridge area speed limit review. This was done in response to concerns brought forth to police regarding speeding, primarily along Tanner Road, Bella Vista Drive and Rodolph Road.

The municipality currently has a speed reader sign on Keating Cross Road that gives speed warnings to any-body going eastbound on Keating to the high-way, as there have been accidents at that inter-section. Work has been done on the corner and barriers have been put in, but from a police perspective, Brailey noted in his report that the sign could be better used elsewhere. The plan is to relocate it to Tanner Road for west-bound traffic because there is no sidewalk on the north side of the road and that’s where

the bus stops are for the kids in the morning when they head into school.

“I do believe though that it’s worth the money. We do have good compliance up there but saying that, we still have a couple hundred vehicles in a period of 11 days that are going over the speed limit,” said Brai-ley.

As far as the side roads go, Brailey said they are more than happy with the level of compliance.

At that committee meeting, Councillor Carl Jensen made a motion asking staff look at reducing the speed limit for within Tanner Ridge to a default of 40 kilometers per hour, down from the current 50.

“My concern is when you look at smaller streets … those are family streets and you’ve got vehicles driving along there legally at 50 kilometers an hour. My concern is all it takes … thankfully we haven’t had it ... but

all it takes is one child running into the road,” he said.

Council didn’t sup-port his motion, with Coun. Christopher Gra-ham suggesting they take Brailey’s advice.

“I think that people tend to drive to how the roads are built,” Graham said. “If we want people to drive more slowly we need to look at how we’re build-ing our roads and rede-sign them so that peo-ple drive more slowly.”

Graham added the report very clearly out-lines there isn’t a safety issue or that it is mini-mal, with a high compli-ance by most drivers.

“I would hate to be putting it into a situa-tion where we’re effec-

tively putting more people on the wrong side of the law in the sense of them not fol-lowing the speed lim-its because they’re too low, I just don’t think that’s appropriate.”

Within the District of Central Saanich, including the highways, a study of a five year period coming to the end of 2013, which was the most up to date figures that they had combined in police fig-ures and ICBC figures, the municipality saw 891 accidents. Only 20 of those happened in the Tanner Ridge area, which doesn’t include Keating or Highway 17.

“As far as the safety goes and the accidents, we thought that that

was extremely low for the residential area at Tanner Road,” said Brailey.

His basic recommen-dation was that based on a 50 km/hr speed

limit, there was very high compliance by drivers. Using the acci-dent analysis as well, from a police perspec-tive, he said they see no reason to adjust the

speed limit in that area.When signage does

come in, Brailey said the police will be doing some additional traffic enforcement in Tanner Ridge.

Tanner Ridge to get more speed warnings


Most drivers in Central Saanich’s Tanner Ridge are within five to 10 km/hr of the posted speed limit, according to police.

CENTRAL SAANICH — Councillors approved on Monday night, the 30 questions to be posed to residents of Central Saanich in a citizen survey.

Councillors fine-tuned some of the questions. Coun. Alicia Cormier provided six broad topics out of the District’s official community plan that she believed were not picked up in the draft set of questions. Those pertained to: supporting agricul-ture; maintaining rural character; protecting and enhancing the environment; addressing causes and impacts of climate change, biodiversity and natural ecosystems, and; fostering strong rela-tions.

Council voted for two additional questions from Cormier’s six topics, bumping the survey’s original 28 questions up to 30. The survey is expected to reach residents by December. — Carlie Connolly

Share the road and slow down

The dangers of anecdotal evidence were never more apparent than in recent complaints to Central Saanich Police about speeding in Tanner Ridge.

The Police Service received concerns that drivers were going too fast along Tanner Road, as well as some of the residential side streets in the area. Municipal councillors heard the same thing.

Instead of reacting, police and politicians did a most prudent thing — they decided to see if any of those anecdotes stood up to the facts. The police used sensor strips across the streets in question, measuring how fast drivers were going.

In his report to District council, Constable Paul Brailey pointed out that most drivers were within the speed limit set in Tanner Ridge — and a vast majority of them were traveling within five to 10 kilometers per hour over the posted limit of 50 km/hr. Brailey noted in his report that threshold is within the discretionary limits of most officers policing traffic — presumably meaning drivers might not get a speeding ticket if they stay within that range.

Don’t expect that good grace to last very long, however, as the municipality will increase its enforcement in the neighbourhood — and set up electronic speed reader boards to let drivers know just how fast they’re going in an attempt to slow them as they exit off the Pat Bay Highway into the residential area.

The police traffic study shows most drivers are not excessively speeding in this neighbourhood.

Are some actually speeding? Probably. And people with concerns have undoubtedly seen vehicles going way too fast.

The suggestion that the speed limit be lowered, however, doesn’t seem like a reasonable solution, based on the evidence gathered by police.

Those concerns were obviously taken seriously, studied and a more reasonable course of action was chosen — enforcement and education. Most times, the added presence of a squad car and the speed reader boards can help lift a driver’s heavy foot from their accelerator.

Yet, this is temporary. It’s only a matter of time before the signs and the police move to other concern areas.

We can only hope that for some drivers, this will be a reminder to change their habits as they exit off the highway and into a neighbourhood where children play and families share the roads.

It was with some surprise and much disappointment that I discov-ered in the Nov. 13 PNR a Notice of Public Hearing for a proposed Town of Sidney Zoning Bylaw amendment, granting a Retail Liquor License to the property owner at 9429 Canora Road.

Even more surprising was that in 10 days a decision, based on the recommendation of Town planners, and apparently supported by Coun-cil, could be made.

The lack of notice and consulta-tion on this proposal astounds. No signs on the property stating the proposed change and no con-tact or consultation with residents beyond a 75 meter radius (less than a block) of the property in question, when the neighbourhood affected comprises Greenglade, Summer-gate, North Saanich’s Canora Mews and beyond.

On research, I found that an Oct. 5 report to council recommends the zoning change based on ‘no other liquor establishments within one kilometer of the property’. The assumption being that every fam-ily neighbourhood needs a liquor store? There are three in Sidney and one in Saanichton. All within a 10 minute drive.

The report also states there are no schools nearby, when this prop-erty is directly on route to both Panorama Recreation Centre and Kelset Elementary School. Also not mentioned in the report is the fact that this property is directly across the street from the much used, by families, Rotary Park, as well as the

airport walking trail, which on any decent day is full of families, dog walkers and cyclists, many of whom come from all over the Peninsula area just to enjoy this special ame-nity.

How does a liquor store fit this picture? Liquor stores bring crime, traffic and devalue property. We need to build on our community assets, not devalue them.

This bylaw amendment appears to be for the benefit of the property owner, not the neighbourhood. The Town of Sidney does a disservice to its residents by putting forward this change while giving so little effort to consultation.

I ask that this applicaton not be approved, or at the very least the Town extend their consultation timeframe.

Lorelle PostenSidney

Housing, not green spaceI’m baffled by the town planning

and land usage proposed by our local councils.

What is wrong with the current location of the skateboard park? Why should we have the expense of tearing it up and starting over again? Do the users prefer another location?

Why would we build a new fire hall and ambulance station close to a residential neighbourhood when there is a great location at the cor-ner of the highway on Sidney land and well away from housing? The southwest corner of Beacon and the highway also provides immedi-ate access in all directions. Locating here would also prevent some retail development which we all know is not needed.

Why does North Saanich insist of keeping the racetrack land agricul-tural? There is plenty of agricultural land in North Saanich but not nearly enough affordable housing.

This is an ideal location for a rent-geared-to-income community includ-ing a seniors residence with resident housekeeper, family housing with playground, day care centre, park and community gardens with resi-dent groundskeeper.

The Peninsula needs housing for the local workforce and the improved bus service which such a community would support. In return for the free land the community would provide some customers for the donor’s retail development.

I don’t know where else their customers will come from. This is a golden opportunity to build a green community, with a central geo-thermal plant to heat all the buildings at minimal cost making the rents more affordable.

With all the money around here there must be a few people who would support a model Green community.

Walk for your own good healthRe: Remind politicians who they work for (PNR

letters, Nov. 13). It would probably be better for everyone if there were fewer 80-year-old drivers on the roads these days. Period.

Younger taxpayers should not be expected to underwrite their medical exams for driving tests or anything else. As a senior myself, I wish they would accept the reduction of their senses, be qui-eter and start taking taxis, the bus or above all else walking for their own good health and wisdom.

Jon BlairSidney

Town bylaws must be enforcedRe: Frost Street parking issue (PNR, Nov. 13).Sidney council is trying to dissuade rental car

parking on this side street.There should be nothing to discuss. The Sidney

street parking bylaw is: “Parking on the street is permitted up to a maximum twenty-four hour period, unless otherwise posted.”

There are cars parked not only on Frost Street. At any given time, cars are parked — sometimes for days at a time — on Canora Road. And there were 12 there yesterday (Nov. 15) and now the parking spaces on East Saanich Road, created when Canora Mews was built, are also being used by Enterprise Car Rental.

A bylaw is nothing but empty words unless it is enforced and should apply to all and any bylaws which are in effect. Bylaws are put in place for all resident living in the specified area — and those who choose to ignore such should be penalized each and every day.

M. HansenSidney

Don’t be afraid to do the right thingThis is a letter to people who want to do the

right thing but stop just short of being as effective as they hoped to be. On Nov. 9, while at the Associ-ated Physicians clinic on Bevan Avenue in Sidney between 10 a.m. and noon, my car was hit by a gold Mazda. The driver failed to stop and leave her information. A passerby witnessed the event and left the details of the car that damaged my car.

Unfortunately, the good samaritan did not leave their contact number which makes it difficult for the RCMP and ICBC to act. The witness needs to provide contact information for follow-up.

In my case I am left with an $800 repair bill.I know some are afraid that this may get them

more involved than they wish but in the end, one witness is usually sufficient.

Community Dialogue Session onIsland View Beach Regional Park


In the greenhouse, Emma remained in fas-cination, asking ques-tions about the many flowers, constantly smelling the Dream bouquets.

And Emma isn’t the only Vancouver Island child supported by the Foundation.

Celebrating their 30th year, Help Fill a

Dream fulfilled 12 dreams alone in 2015 and according to Exec-utive Director Craig Smith, next January to April is already booked.

Having partnered with Country Grocer for five years now, Smith said in begin-ning the campaign with them, it was about the local aspect.

“We are an Island-

wide charity, we’re local and their local. And the other thing is we’ve quickly learned it’s become a cause that all of their employ-ees and their custom-ers have really rallied behind,” he said.

Their help too goes a long way in many things they do on a daily basis at the store, including selling Dream Bouquets

designed and supplied by Eurosa Farms with a portion of that going towards Help Fill a Dream, to help kids like Emma get their Dream come true.

Emma’s parents said that Help Fill a Dream has really helped them financially.

Mom Diane said the one week trip to Hawaii created memories and “was an amazing moment.” She added that Help Fill a Dream has also helped out the conservatory down-town as well, where Emma takes music therapy. And so, some of the equipment they supplied she will use.

“So indirectly they are helping us,” Diane said.

With six Country Grocer stores on the Island and one on Salt Spring Island, the stores have customized posters based on fami-lies in those communi-ties so that people can see how the money is being used to support

families and children in their community.

Last year Country Grocer raised just shy of $15,000 and Smith said Help Fill a Dream has to raise nearly $400,000 a year between their

three programs to help support them.

After more than 30 years, Help Fill a Dream has supported over 2,100 local families and will work with around 100 families a year

across all three levels of their programming.

This is their second year holding the launch at Eurosa Farms.

“This is stunning … We don’t get to see this very often,” Craig said.

Residents in rural areas within the Saa-nich Peninsula will be cleaning up debris this week from Tuesday’s wind and rain storm.

North Saanich fire-fighters were called to a couple power out-ages during the storm, as branches and entire trees fell onto power lines, sparking a flurry of emergency calls from residents.

Captain Steve Knapp of the North Saanich Fire Department was on Dalkeith Road Tues-day morning, after resi-dents called in report-ing a tree had come down onto power lines and had caught fire.

By the time he arrived, he said the fire was out and the tree was hanging precari-ously on the cables.

Power, as a result, was cut to nearby homes and Knapp said BC Hydro at the time could give no indi-cation how long the power would be out, as they were busy with upwards of 50 outages on southern Vancouver Island — including the Saanich Peninsula.

Knapp said North Saanich municipal crews were called out to Dalkeith Road to block both sides to keep people away from the tree, which he said would probably have to come down. North Saanich had four power outages in total, affect-ing about 22 Hydro cus-

tomers.BC Hydro crews

responded to incidents on the Island and main-land Tuesday that left an estimated 75,000 to 110,000 people without power at various times during the day, accord-ing to a company media release Wednesday.

BC Hydro estimated

some of their custom-ers could have been without power for much of Wednesday as well, as crews caught up to the demand for repairs.

In addition to the out-age on Dalkeith Road, in North Saanich, about five homes were left without power on Dol-phin Road after wind blew branches down onto wires.

There were three reported outages in Central Saanich, according to bchydro.com’s list of power interruptions in the region — one on Thom-son Road, one west of Woodview Lane and another on Cultra Road, affecting approxi-mately 16 customers.

Another outage on its border with High-lands affected more than 1,100 homes.

Environment Can-ada had issued a wind warning for Tuesday, as forecasters reported winds of between 70 and 90 kilometers per hour throughout Greater Victoria.

BC Ferries can-celled some sailings of vessels on smaller routes, including the Brentwood Bay to Mill Bay route. That ferry remained out of ser-vice Wednesday due to mechanical problems.

With record-low interest rates still only

threatening to increase, Canadian households continue to incur record levels of debt — recently reaching

approximately $1.65 for every dollar of after-tax disposable income.

In the U.S. the com-parable statistic has reduced steadily since 2008, to approximately $1.35 for every dollar of

disposable income. While the greatest

component of our debt is, by far, home mort-gages, a recent Ipsos Reid poll found that one in three Canadians consider their credit

card debt to be a signif-icant source of ongoing financial stress.

With credit card bal-ances comprising only about 5.4 per cent of average household debt, this high-stress impact is surprising — until we look more closely. The average Canadian adult holds three credit cards, most with interest rates averaging 18 to 20 per cent. Some 52 per cent of Canadians use their credit cards for the majority of their pur-chases yet only one in three personally track their card charges before receiving their month-end statement.

On a monthly basis, only about 60 per cent of card holders pay their full balance owing, thus avoiding interest charges. If everyone were to pay the full balance each month, credit card companies would go broke. For-tunately for the indus-try, and sadly for some card-holders, credit card use and misuse can result in an insidi-ous and ever-increas-ing, debt-spiral for the consumer. Hence, the high level of stress for

many card-holders.

The solu-tion for those with a credit card prob-lem? A laser-like focus on paying down the debt, per-haps replac-ing it with a much lower-cost Line of Credit.

Once the debt is liq-uidated, limiting credit cards to only one, can-celling all others, is a smart move. Unless disciplined enough to track ongoing card purchases, switch-ing most spending to cash may help increase awareness of, and limit, spending hab-its. Except in the most extreme emergency, charging more to a card than can be paid off when the statement arrives, should be strin-gently avoided.

Every year for the past five years, about 120,000 Canadians have either declared bankruptcy or made a restructuring proposal to their creditors. This is only 0.46 per cent of the 26 million adults in

Canada; yet what makes it a star-tling statis-tic is that it repeats each year. Over a 30-year period, this s e e m i n g l y minor annual s t a t i s t i c results in an average of about one

in every six Canadians becoming insolvent at some time during their adult years. A dispro-portionate number of bankruptcies and pro-posals-to-creditors are triggered not by issues with the servicing of mortgage debt, but rather by credit card debt.

Overall, the Canadian delinquency rate on all types of debt stands at only 1.1 per cent — the lowest level since 2008. This positive trend is due to the fact that today, an average of only seven per cent of household income is needed to pay the interest on all debt held — a reduction from 11 per cent in 1990. This good news will not last, as interest rates begin

their inevitable cyclical uptrend — long antici-pated, and now likely imminent.

For most of us, debt is a necessary evil as we move through our adult life. Nevertheless, we can choose how to manage debt responsi-bly, or otherwise. If we want to grow our net worth, and assure our-selves of an eventual comfortable, financially stress-free retirement, we must always keep in mind that while some debt may be inevitable in our earlier years, the only good debt is no debt at all — to be achieved as early in life as possible.

During our later work-ing years we should always remain aware that entering eventual retirement with debt of any kind will impair our retirement lifestyle — sometimes severely.

Alsace, France: The route taken for the launch of the 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC SUV was cruel and unusual punishment for some of us.The navigation system guided us through a spectacular drive of more than 500 kilometres, which started and concluded in Basel, the Swiss city strad-dling the Swiss, French and German borders. First, we motored to Strasbourg, the capital of Alsace, and then returned the next day via the Vosges Mountains and the Munster Valley.Cruel? – Well, for the oenophiles among the participating media group having to pass without tasting at the many historic Alsace vineyards along the way made one weep. It was just as bad for the beer-swillers who whiffed the smell of hops as they dreamed about sinking a

chilled Kronenbourg. Those, for whom food excites, had their taste buds tickled. They wolfed down amazing soft cheeses and cold cuts at the roadside.

The mental torture was eased by an extremely pleasurable drive in this premium mid-range, second generation SUV from Mer-cedes-Benz, which replaces the GLK moniker with GLC reflecting its mechanical similarities to the C-Class sedan. It’s a little longer and wider, meaning those aboard get more space in which to lounge and enjoy the luxury this top German brand typically offers. And, of course, more space for groceries and golf clubs.A tablet-like 7-inch screen sits above three large air vents, mounted at the top of the centre stack, which features a well-placed controls touch pad in the lower console.Back to the drive. Firstly, the test cars were pre-pro-duction Euro-spec 250s but we did get to take to the winding, often mountain-

ous roads in a version that will more closely resemble the Canadian 300 4Matic. The same 2.0 turbo-four gas engine we get, though light of around 33 horses, powered it.The GLK-spec 3.5-litre V6 is gone but worry not, if I might be crude, the four banger, coupled with the new 9G-tronic transmis-sion, is more than adequate on the freeway – zero to 100 km/h in 7.3 seconds – and up those hills. And it was quiet in that cabin. Incidentally, the GLC will use four-cylinder power in all versions – gas, diesel and plug-in gas/electric hybrid. Economy ratings are expected to be in the low 8s L/100kms in the city, low 6s on the highway. Dynamic Select is standard fare, allowing the driver to switch between Eco, Comfort, Sport and Sport+

modes. The tester was also equipped with the optional Air Body Control, which improves on its predeces-sor’s Airmatic system ability to smooth out the ride. Mercedes boasts that the GLC is at home on any terrain. Most of those purchased will become city dwellers, destined to hunt in shopping malls, but the drive proved the GLC is more than capable in the wild.Sadly, the Off-Road Engi-neering package will not be offered in Canada. An off-road course included a 38-degree incline, which my drive partner Regina Chan expertly scaled, tilted about 25 degrees at one point!The standard safety package is extensive and notably includes Collision Prevention Assist, which warns of an imminent crash and helps to apply

the brakes, and the self-explanatory Passive Blind Spot Assist.I’m a sucker for M-B’s Intel-ligent Drive concept. The various systems take data from the various sensors to boost comfort and safety. Systems that think and act somewhat quicker than your average driver!The first Canadian models will be gas-powered, a turbo-diesel comes in the 2017 model year and a plug-in hybrid is scheduled

for 2018. A Coupe version is on the way but no date yet.The base sticker price is $44,950 but take it up to the premium package, with COMAND navigation and a superb panoramic roof, and you are nudging 50 grand. Load in those extra tricky active safety technolo-gies and you soon hit the mid-50s.

Grade 5 students on Brentwood Bay Ele-mentary’s Green Team hung up birdhouses around the perimeter of their school this month to attract the Violet Green swallow to help increase its habi-tat.

Brentwood Elemen-tary teacher and Green Team leader Fiona Mosher said hanging the birdhouses, which the students began building back in March, is also educating the community at the same time.

The students put up signs at the bottom of each post that supports the birdhouses, which the children typed up, explaining the reasons for building them — including information about the birds.

“When you build a bird house, you’ve got to make sure the opening of the hole is the right size for them

to get in so that other predators can’t get in and get them,” she said.

The birdhouse project was put on by The Green Team, made up of students,

with teacher support, doing various projects around the school. The birdhouses are just one of the many projects for Grade 5 students wishing to participate.

The birdhouses were put up Nov. 10, with the kids doing a lot of research around the Violet Green swallow.

“We built bird feed-ers because we wanted to increase the habi-tat for mostly birds that feed while in the air that are in decline, so those are birds that swoop through the air and they eat little insects that are flying around,” said Mosher.

Why we made the birdhouses

“The reason we made the birdhouses is because the violet-green swallow is in danger. They are eating bugs from the air that have pollutants in them that can kill the violet-green swallow. Also, in the wild they make their nests in woodpecker holes. People cut down the trees and the swal-lows don’t have places for their homes.”

dent Taylor Kramer

The fiddling duo of Natalie MacMaster and husband Donnell Leahy will become ONE at the Mary Winspear Centre next Wednesday.

ONE is the title of their debut record together released this past spring and it’s also their first time touring together as well. They will be performing to their sold out Two Fiddles Two Pianos show, which isn’t rare for the dynamic duo.

The award-winning pair have enjoyed

successful careers, with MacMaster appealing to fans of fiddle music and win-ing several awards, including two Junos, 11 East Coast Music Awards and was nominated for a Grammy.

Leahy is the oldest brother of the well known family musical group Leahy, who also won three Junos. He is recognized as one of the best Celtic fiddlers in the world.

He caught up with the PNR to talk of their tour and the couple’s first big col-laboration.

Leahy said the tour, which will take

them across Canada and the U.S., has been going well, adding that the weather has too, meaning they pack everything from swim suits to ski jackets.

The couple wed 13 years ago and have always wanted to record together.

“It just took us this long … there was always another priority, there was always a little one coming along and so we made the record. It kind of fell into place on its own,” said Leahy.

SIDNEY — When you attend a Peninsula Cel-ebrations Society (PCS) event, you are likely to see Sid, the very large pink pig.

What’s the story behind this creature? One of the many popular events organized by PCS is the

Summer Sounds Sunday concerts in Beacon Park. These performers need to be paid, so volunteers move through the crowd collecting donations.

Years ago, a wooden piggy-bank was mounted on wheels to make this easier. The slogan “Enjoy the Gig – Feed the Pig” was coined. This caught on and later, the Society obtained the large inflatable pink pig, which now appears on its float in the Canada Day and Sidney Sparkles parades, as well as showing up at many other PCS events.

Whenever you see Sid, (and he’s hard to miss) Society volunteers will likely be close by. They are always happy to talk about their many activities and will never refuse a contribution to help make these events possible.

Upcoming events include Breakfast With Santa in conjunction with Sidney Lions on Nov. 28 at the Mary Winspear Centre at 8:30 a.m. There is also the Sparkles Parade down Beacon Avenue on Sunday, Dec. 6 starting at 5 p.m., followed by the Lighted Boat Parade at 6:15.

New volunteers are welcome. If you have always wanted to be part of a parade or any of their other family friendly activities, contact the Society at [email protected]. — Submitted

Originally from Ontario, Leahy trav-elled to Cape Breton where MacMaster and his own mother are from, to record the album, produced by the legendary Bob Ezrin.

Leahy said their first album collaboration has been awesome.

“It’s wonderful to tour with Natalie … we have six children and we take the little ones on tour with us most of the time and to be able to be together as a fam-ily is well … amazing.”

He said with both of them having two differ-ent styles, the challenge for them was learning to play together, adding they are both used to being the front person.

“What we naturally did out of respect was we backed off to give the other one the front and then we kind of realized that neither of us we’re being our-selves.”

Now when they write together, which they do quite a bit, it’s in col-laboration and it comes naturally, Leahy said.

Coming from a musi-cal background him-self, Leahy is one of 11 siblings. His inter-

est in music started at just three years old. His father was a fiddle player and his mother is from Cape Breton, so she plays everything, he joked.

“They just put a fid-dle in my hand and I was genetically forced to do this,” he said with a laugh. “So I started to play and I loved playing and I loved everything associated with play-ing. That’s where I got my start and I’ve been blessed to be around great musicians and cultures.”

Coming to the Mary Winspear next Wednes-day, Leahy said they are

thrilled. And as for what to expect; passion, fieri-ness and off the cuff music describes the show.

“It will be just a big party,” he said.

He said in Cape Breton they have kitchen parties where lots of stuff happens — like a neighbour drop-ping in with a cup of tea or maybe something stronger. The fiddles come out and away you go. He added everyone starts hearing about it and the kitchen fills up.

The pair recently received an award for Instrumental Group of the Year for ONE at the

Canadian Folk Music Awards.

“We certainly appre-ciate when someone or some organization or fans or whoever votes kind of appreciates what we do. We do it for the love of it and when you get an award, it’s certainly always nice and we’re very thankful for that,” he said.

Later, MacMaster joins country singer Johnny Reid on his What Love Is All About tour. Leahy said he and his wife will record a Christmas record next year and he hopes to be out west again with his family.

Myths & realities:

Do you really know what your kids are up to?

▾ MYTH: Once kids join a gang there’s no hope for them: Reality: Gang members in B.C. come from every socio-economic background and

all ethnicities. While racial, ethnic, and gender composition can vary by locality or type of

gang, gangs are often as diverse as our communities and many do not restrict who joins

as long as they can make money for the gang.

HomeFinderFind a place to call home

VANCOUVER — B.C. home prices and sales will keep rising for the next two years, says a new forecast by Cen-tral 1 Credit Union.

Province-wide sales growth is expected to slow in 2016 as housing supply lim-its growth in Metro Vancou-ver and the Alberta reces-sion and weak mining sec-tor hamper demand in the Interior. The median home price will rise by nearly six per cent to $425,000 this year, $450,000 in 2016 and $462,000 in 2017.

In Greater Vancouver, strong demand and a short-age of land for new hous-ing developments will drive prices higher and speed the shift from detached houses to multi-family units.

“A widening gap between detached and multi-family

homes is the new norm,” says Central 1’s Senior Econ-omist Bryan Yu.

“The region is in the mid-dle of a long-term transi-tion from families living in detached homes on expen-sive land to families living in higher density condos and apartments.

“In previous years the housing ladder meant start-ing in a condo and transi-tioning to a detached home; that will no longer be the trend,” Yu said.

“For most families the housing ladder will lead from one multi-family unit to another.

“Vancouver’s geography allows limited space for new housing which means increasing demand will send prices and condo towers higher,” Yu said.

Highlights:• Mortgage rates will stay

low through 2017 fuelling continued demand.

• Provincial housing starts will climb nine per cent this year to 31,100 units, rising to 32,400 units in 2016 and 33,500 units in 2017.

• In Vancouver the price of

the median detached home will breach $1 million in 2017, while apartments tip $405,000.

• Greater Vancouver is set for further price increases over the next two years despite strong recent gains as demand remains robust and supply remains heavily

constrained. • The widening gap

between detached and multi-family home prices will persist as land short-ages and prices speed the shift from detached to multi-family units.
