The federal election is Mon-day, Oct. 19 and this is the final weekend for candidates and parties to reach undecided vot-ers — or shore up their support in ridings across the country.

The PNR reached out to the four candidates in Saanich-Gulf Islands, asking about their plans for the weekend and what they hope voters will think about as they head to the polls.

Tim Kane says he has learned a lot about himself on the campaign trail in Saanich-Gulf Islands.

The Liberal Party candidate is also realistic about his chances of winning in the rid-ing, currently held by incum-bent MP and Green Party leader Elizabeth May.

“If I’m elected, there will probably be a Liberal govern-

ment (in Ottawa) as well,” Kane said this week. “Honestly, I know about the odds of that happen-

ing.”The Liberal Party

has never won in Saanich-Gulf Islands, a riding created in 1987 out of two larger ones on the south Island.

The NDP won the riding in 1988. In 1993, the Reform Party took it and — in the form of

either Reform, Alliance or the Conservative parties — held it until 2011 when May defeated Conservative Gary Lunn.

Prior to 2011, the Liberal Party was always second or third in the polling results, com-ing the closest to unseating the right-of-centre parties in 2008 (losing by only around 2,600 votes) until 2011 when they placed a distant fourth.

Steven HeywoodNews staff

Murray Farmer admits he’s got a big learning

curve ahead of him as he, a civilian, takes on the role of Honorary Colonel of Vancouver Island’s Canadian Scot-tish Regiment.

Farmer, a resident of North Saanich, became the Regiment’s newest Honorary Colonel in September. He was wel-comed in an official cer-emony Sept. 12 at the Bay Street Armoury in Victoria, replacing his predecessor, Sidney’s Richard Talbot. The Saanich Peninsula con-nection is maintained with the army reserve unit, which welcomes Farmer as its first civil-ian in the role in recent memory.

“This is new for the Canadian Scottish, but not for the military on the whole,” said Lieu-tenant Colonel Steve Sawyer, the Regiment’s commanding officer.

The title, Honorary Colonel, goes back to feudal times when dukes and earls were asked to raise mili-tary regiments for the Crown. In essence, they acted as the unit’s patron and raised money, equipment and uniforms to outfit the soldiers. Sawyer said there’s some of that history in the local regiment — which was formed out of two area units, created by the civilian population dur-ing the First World War.

Farmer’s appoint-ment represents a change in the focus of the CScots on the Island. As the Cana-dian military has tran-sitioned out of the conflict in Afghanistan, reserve units struggle with recruiting new people and holding

onto them. They also require more local support to ensure a high level of training as people’s attention turns elsewhere. Saw-yer said he faces chal-lenges retaining people,

whereas during con-flict, it’s less of an issue.

That’s the role of the Honorary Colonel — to increase the unit’s profile in the commu-nity and win support for their activities. As a

civilian, Farmer said he has much to learn about the unit but feels it’s important for him to take on the job.

“I was approached about this close to two years ago,” said Farmer.

“I thought at the time that the request was kind of odd, as I was never in the military.”

Farmer said, how-ever, he started think-ing about it more and more.

“I was born at the end of the Second World War and I have lived in peace all of my life. Other people have been called to serve, so maybe this is my turn.”

Prior to this, he con-

tinued, he’d never been inside the Armoury, the Regiment’s headquar-ters in Victoria.

Steven Heywood/News staff

Hon. Col Murray Farmer addresses the troops of the Canadian Scottish Regiment during his change-of-command ceremony at the Bay Street Armoury Sept. 12.

The Canadian Scottish Regiment (CScotR) is Vancouver Island’s only infantry unit and consists of around 200 officers and regular sol-diers.

The CScotR is a reserve unit, meaning its troops meet once a week and train one weekend a month, in addition to other training opportu-nities throughout the year.

The unit headquarters is Victoria’s Bay Street Armoury and has a second company based in Nanaimo.

Soldiers from the unit have served domestically and overseas, including Afghanistan. Four members of the Regiment are credited with winning the Victoria Cross during the First World War.

The Bay Street Armoury marks its 100th anniversary with a public open house Nov. 22 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Vineyard lounge wins supportCarlie ConnollyNews Staff

With a loud summer and noise complaints behind them, de Vine Vineyards looks towards a future with no more weddings and a new lounge.

Owner John Windsor bought the property in 2007 and the vineyard had its first small crush in the fall of 2009. Their first wines went on sale in 2010. He said since then, they have grown steadily, building a good relationship with neighbours.

This past summer, they held eight weddings and neigh-bours began to complain of the noise.

“We found that even though you can interview your brides and the intended grooms care-fully, you can’t interview their guests,” Windsor told the PNR.

The whole issue with noise revolved around exuberant guests with the sound trav-elling to the quiet surround-ing area. After receiving many noise complaints, Windsor decided that de Vine will no longer hold weddings.

They are, however, look-ing to add a lounge area to the vineyard and sought an endorsement from Central Saanich municipal council. That request was presented to council last month and elic-ited letters from concerned neighbours.

After meeting with the neighbours several times, walking them through de Vine’s approach, nearly all of the neighbours changed their minds.

“We’ve had a number of very good meetings with our neighbours who are actually anxious for us not to be dam-aged by this change. They’ve been very good,” said Wind-sor.

Eight weddings were already booked for next year and Windsor said his staff will meet with the parties to dis-cuss the necessary changes. The plan is that they will not be allowed to go past 8 p.m., which means they can have the ceremony and dinner at

de Vine, but not the reception.“The real purpose up here

is to grow the winery and the distillery, so to do that you are looking to create relationships with customers all the time.”

Windsor said the theory behind hosting weddings was not to make money from the event itself, but to introduce the vineyard to more people.

“We are always seeking new relationships with people and have many relationships already,” he said.

The proposed winery lounge licence will allow de Vine to use the interior and exterior (tent) to serve food with wine. The licenses would be restricted to 30 occasions a year, with various hours of

operation for each. De Vine is seeking an extension for the exterior part of their pro-posed license, allowing the booked weddings next year to be able to continue to 8 p.m.

Windsor said the neigh-bours have been very good, showing their support for the current plans.

“I’ll totally acknowledge the weddings were not what they wanted and wasn’t what we wanted either as it turned out, but they’ve been very sup-portive.”

The license is issued by the Liquor Control and Licens-ing Branch (LCBL), and they invite comments from the municipality and residents.

And so, de Vine has several letters of support from neigh-bours, along with council’s agreement to enforce the plan.

On Tuesday, Oct. 13, Dis-trict council approved an endorsement of the plan. That endorsement will be a part of de Vine’s application to the LCBL. In approving the endorsement, the council had conditions of their own, including hours of operation.

A full list of details and con-ditions can be viewed on the Central Saanich website (cen-tralsaanich.ca).

Mayor Ryan Windsor, John Windsor’s son, excused him-self from the debate and coun-cil vote, as he is in a conflict of interest.

SIDNEY — A 39-year old Duncan man has been arrested on suspicion of arson and mischief, after two Conservative Party campaign signs were burned on the Saa-nich Peninsula.

Police approached a man on Oct. 12 at 10:55 p.m. after receiving a complaint about the sign damage at Willingdon and McTavish roads.

According to the Sidney North Saanich RCMP, the man

claimed to have lost his car keys, which led the police to find a propane tank in the back seat of his car.

Members of the North Saa-nich fire department, which had also been called to the

scene, found a propane torch head beside the vehicle.

The man has subsequently been released from police custody with an order to appear at a later court date.

Support arts or be drabS

upport the artistic community of the Saanich Peninsula.

And what better opportunity to do just that, than this weekend’s Sidney Fine Art Show and the opening of the ArtSea

Festival. Run by the Community Arts Council of the Saanich Peninsula (CACSP), the Festival is 10 days of some of the more interesting work being done by local and regional artists.

The event, for the last half-decade or so, has been growing and is now one of the largest events of its kind on Vancouver Island. Art studio tours, the Fine Art Show over three days at the Mary Winspear Centre, and local businesses opening their doors to resident artists — it all shows how supportive the community as a whole is of the collection of painters, sculptors, weavers and more, that we have on the Peninsula.

Without art, it can be safely said that our lives would be drab.

In one art form or another, we take pleasure — whether that be in a painting or a piece of music. Art, and the people who pursue it either through its creation or enjoyment, contribute much to the social fabric of our society.

That’s why it’s important that we — and our community leaders — do our part to support the arts. In large efforts or small, doing so helps keep the people who make that art alive and well.

Art is certainly subjective — some of it you either love or hate. In either emotion, we feel something. In that alone, art has done its job. Without our reactions to art, we lose critical thinking, we lose an outlet of discussion, of opportunity to expand our minds.

Yes, art has the ability to do all that and more. Without it, we can safely say our lives would be significantly more boring.

So take in what the Peninsula’s art community has to offer this month during ArtSea Fest. There’s little chance you will regret it.

CorrectionIn Wednesday’s editorial on the last push

before the election, our force of habit kicked in and the wrong times for the polling stations were published.

On Monday, Oct. 19, voters can go vote between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Sorry for the mistake.

I voted today (advance poll) at the Shoal Center in Sidney. I spent a full hour in a line up where two of a staff of at least six were busy.

They had only one table for vot-ers who were prepared while two other tables sat with one person doing crosswords, another texting someone and a third off some-where.

It reminded me of a situation dur-ing my working days where a group we were working with were totally disorganized and my boss said, “They are like government, couldn’t organize a two man rush to a three hole outhouse.”

Hooray for Elections Canada. R. MacKenzie

Sidney

The business of votingWe were among the millions of

voters who had to exercise patience to cast a vote in the federal election (advance polls).

On the wall was a 1-800 number to ask questions and raise concerns. I watched one of the information offi-cers work his way through the line-up answering questions and the only question seemed to be “Why is it taking so long?” Once you entered the room; there was the answer; one voting station.

If you were one of those Canadians who picked up the phone and called Elections Canada to ask why they didn’t add additional voting stations to fix the wait time problem, what you would have got was, “I voted yesterday and had a long wait as

well.”What kind of nation have we

become, when the people who have the tools to fix the problem excuse inaction by jumping in your hole?

Why is federal voting so draco-nian? Perhaps less money spent on campaigning and more on bringing voting standards up to, I don’t know, those of municipal elections. Get your ballot, mark your box, feed it into a machine. Takes all of three to five minutes.

For a country who wants to improve voting, they sure are cre-

ating a system to frustrate people and further by doing nothing. People are not trained the night before an election to work at polling stations. Could they not pick up a phone and call in extra forces to accommodate voters? Businesses do it every day.

Isn’t this election about the econ-omy? If people had to wait two or three hours to be served, what do you think would happen to your business?

Jo-Anne BerezanskiNorth Saanich

Flawed, but all we haveAfter Oct. 19, campaign offices will

close and all who have worked to get their party’s message out to vot-ers, will return to their usual rou-tines. Without these committed vol-unteers, we could not achieve even the flawed democracy that we have in Canada.

Neither could our democracy be achieved without citizens’ willing-ness to participate.

This is at the heart of our electoral process.

Those who have served us as can-didates deserve our appreciation as they have personally given every voter the opportunity to learn about the policy differences between the parties.

Whatever the outcome of the elec-tion, volunteers who believe in the values of the party they work for will continue to oil the machinery of our democracy.

Letters to the Editor


CANADA VOTES!

Black Press newspapers the Peninsula News Review and Saanich News posed a series of questions to the candidates in the riding of Saanich-Gulf Islands — a riding that both publica-tions share.

Today, the PNR concludes the series.

How would your party address the need to strengthen Canada’s infrastructure and what project would you say is the highest priority for your riding?

Robert Boyd Conservative Party

Since taking office in 2006, our govern-ment has invested heavily in Canada’s infrastructure, in partnership with

provincial, territorial and munic-ipal governments. We have worked to build modern and efficient public infrastructure across the country, and right here in Saanich.

Some of our accomplishments include:

• creating the Building Can-ada Fund and the New Building Canada Fund — the largest infra-structure investment in Cana-dian history.

• invested significantly in infrastructure through the Eco-nomic Action Plan.

• made the Gas Tax transfer to municipalities permanent.

• created the new and innova-tive Public Transit Fund, invest-ing $750 million over two years, and $1 billion thereafter, to mod-ernize public transit infrastruc-ture in Canada’s large cities

• launched the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Pro-gram to help fund the renova-tion and improvement of exist-ing community infrastructure in honour of the 150th celebration of Confederation.

Alicia CormierNDPAn affordable home, a reason-

able commute and modern municipal services and ameni-ties are top priori-ties for Saanich-Gulf Islands (residents).

The NDP will increase gas tax transfers to municipalities by $1.5 billion to enable stable investments in core infrastruc-ture and $1.3 billion per year to get cities moving with new, multi-year funding for transit. We will also invest in affordable housing and create 10,000 new rental units. Appoint a minister for urban affairs to speak for cities and towns at the cabinet table.

The NDP will also inject $9 million into natural disaster prevention and relief as West-ern Canada reels from one of its worst wildfire seasons on record and is committed to restoring $7 million in annual funding to a Joint Emergency Preparedness Program to bolster training and equipment against natural disas-ters. Funding will also provide for adding 2500 new RCMP posi-tions across the country.

Tim KaneLiberal Party

Liberals believe investing in infra-structure is vital to creating middle class jobs today and sustained economic

growth for years to come. Every dollar spent on public infrastruc-ture grows and makes our econ-omy more competitive, while creating jobs, strengthening our communities and improving our

health, well-being and quality of life. Liberals will make the larg-est new infrastructure invest-ment in Canadian history. Our plan will:

• Nearly double federal infra-structure investment to almost $125 billion — from the cur-rent $65 billion — over the next decade, reaching an additional $9.5 billion by year 10;

• Make an immediate down payment to kick-start job cre-ation and economic growth by doubling the current federal infrastructure investment in each of the next two fiscal years;

• Provide new, dedicated fund-ing to provinces, territories, and municipalities for: public transit infrastructure, social infrastruc-ture and green infrastructure

• Increase the transparency of the New Building Canada Fund by providing clearer project cri-teria and faster approval pro-cesses that will now prioritize investments in roads, bridges, transportation, ports and bor-der gateways, and;

• Help fund public infrastruc-ture projects by creating a new Canada Infrastructure Bank.

Elizabeth May Green Party

Our economic plan invests in strong communities as the foundation of a strong country, and will provide the

necessary funding for infrastruc-ture to make that vision a reality.

The gap between the infra-structure funding our cities and towns need and the funding they receive, is reaching crisis levels — Canada’s infrastructure defi-cit is estimated to be upwards of $350 billion.

We will work to close this gap by committing $6.4 billion per year, one point of the GST, to municipal infrastructure — pro-viding stable, long-term fund-ing to Canadian municipali-ties, creating good local jobs and building vibrant, safe and

livable Canadian towns and cities. (Please note: we do not raise the GST; we allocate one point of existing GST to infrastructure invest-ments.)

We will create a Cana-dian Infrastructure Bank to provide more

robust and innovative financing and invest-ment partnerships, in order to build safer bridges, better roads, world-class water treat-ment facilities, afford-able housing, efficient public transportation, and expanded broad-band access – putting thousands of Canadi-

ans to work in the pro-cess.

What do you believe is the most important election issue for your riding and why?

Robert Boyd Conservative PartyOver the past few

weeks I have been hit-

ting the doorsteps throughout Saanich-Gulf Islands, and hear-ing time and again that our economy is the number one issue.

Thanks to the leader-ship of our Prime Minis-ter, Canada ‘s economy is stronger. However, amid global economic uncertainty elsewhere, we need steady lead-ership to keep us on track. Our low-tax, bal-anced budget plan will protect our economy and our jobs.

Now is not the time to risk choosing a path of higher spending and higher taxes. Only a re-

elected Conservative government will pro-tect our fragile econ-omy for the next four years.

Alicia CormierNDPWe need to replace

the Harper govern-ment. The challenges facing our country are numerous and the solu-tions are long overdue. We need to act now on so many fronts — envi-ronmental, economic and social.

If we really want to change our national government for the better, with a clear

mandate for progres-sive change, the best chance we have right now is to form a major-ity NDP government with Tom Mulcair as Prime Minister.

We will take real action on climate change, establish a fairer voting system and rescind Conserva-tive legislation that has stripped protection for our environment and democratic rights. We will build meaningful partnerships with First Nations and invest in communities, families and your retirement security.

We will fund these investments by mak-ing large corporations pay their fair share, eliminating gas and oil subsidies and other tax breaks that only benefit the wealthy, and going after the hundreds of billions hidden away in offshore tax havens.

We will also invest in local tourism, agricul-ture and reduce taxes for small and medium sized businesses.

To form an NDP gov-ernment, every seat counts, including Saa-nich Gulf Islands and

every vote counts, including from each and every one of you.

Tim KaneLiberal PartyI believe the single

most important issue in this election for citi-zens in this riding, and for all Canadians, is trust. Canadians have

lost trust in their gov-ernment.

There have been times when citizens have disagreed, or have disapproved, or have even been deeply disappointed with the federal government, but this is the first time in my experience when people simply don’t trust the Prime Min-ister. Canadians want

change, they want a new government.

In every fibre of his being, Justin Trudeau is principled.

You can disagree with him, but you know he is saying what he believes. A Liberal gov-ernment led by Justin Trudeau will be open and accountable:

• We will invest in our economy so we can

help the middle class and create jobs.

• We will protect our environment and fully fund health care.

• We will respect seniors, who built this country and we will respect veterans, who fought for this country.

Liberals will restore Canada to our tradi-tional values as a car-ing, social democracy

with a responsible, open and transparent government. Canadians deserve no less — the citizens of Saanich-Gulf Islands deserve no less.

Elizabeth May Green PartyResidents of Saan-

ich-Gulf Islands care about the big issues — the threat of climate change, defending our coastlines and ensur-ing the sustainability of health care.

Still, to zero in on local concerns with a local dimension, the

key issue is affordable housing, with its twin challenge — conve-nient public transpor-tation.

Another key local issue with national dimensions is food security and local food.

CANADA VOTES!Continued from page 8

For the Liberals to make a breakthrough here, Kane said, it would have to mean Canadians want a wholesale change in gov-ernment in Ottawa.

“It would be great news if so,” he said, “for that would mean change (not only) here, but across the country.”

As the final weekend approaches before general vot-ing day Monday, Oct. 19, Kane said he has seen volunteers and donations to his campaign office increase and the mood is posi-tive.

As for himself, Kane said he learned how passionate he can be to want to help people.

“The campaign changed me,” he said. “I’ve never been so impassioned by the work I’ve set out to do.”

Kane added he’s working hard as the final weekend approaches before voting day and wants the electorate to know he’ll con-tinue doing so, under Justin Trudeau’s leadership, after Oct. 19 — should Canadians decide in their favour.

NDP candidate Alicia Cormier is also pinning her hopes on a change of government nation-wide. She said she’s excited by

the prospect of her party form-ing government in Canada, not-ing that she’s not taking any stock in national polls showing a Conservative minority govern-ment in Ottawa. Polls, she said, can be wrong.

Cormier is sticking with the NDP’s main campaign talking points as she looks to meet as many people as possible this weekend. This is her first federal campaign and has blended pro-vincial and federal NDP polices into her speeches and inter-views.

“It’s an important election,” she said. “Our platform does provide lots of benefit for Saan-ich-Gulf Islands. I’ve been part of a real good team in the NDP.”

Cormier said she thinks the country needs change and a move away from the rich and corporations being taxed unfairly.

“Thomas (Mulcair) is taking a stand that’s reflecting Canadi-ans’ values.”

Green Party leader and incum-bent MP Elizabeth May will be in Ontario and on Vancouver Island this weekend, helping local candidates in ridings that could potentially turn Green on Monday.

“We have stayed positive throughout the campaign and I’m pleased that the issues I’ve raised (health care, pharmacare, student debt) were picked up by the other party leaders,” May said. “These were issues people were not talking about.”

May wants voters to realize they can vote for who they want to and the policies they want to see in Ottawa — and not be dic-tated by fear.

“By all means please do (vote for the Green Party),” she con-tinued. “Don’t let fear or anyone else frighten you off. Vote for what you want.”

May said the Island is looking like it might elect more Greens in this election. She said there are tight races here, in Guelph and Thunder Bay, Ontario and in some Quebec ridings. Greens, she said, are in strong positions there and electors could vote more Green MPs in on Monday.

May encourages voters to think about the parties, not the leaders, as that’s what they are electing — not the parties’ respective leaders. Even the leaders, she said, are only on a single ballot.

Seniors BewareI was appalled to realize that Elizabeth May is proposing and supports an estate tax.

What is an “estate tax?” Two things, a tax on the dead and “double taxation.”

Hard working folks have worked all their lives to set aside money that they can leave to their loved ones when they pass away.

They have already paid taxes on this money all their lives and now Elizabeth May wants to tax this same money again, “double taxation.”

I would never try to suggest who you vote for but I would strongly suggest you ask the candidate of your choice to state in the public what their party’s position is on this outrageous “double taxation.”

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

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

CANADA VOTES!

May said the most important message for all voters this weekend is to come to a decision not based on fear.

“I am so grateful for the support shown by the citizens of Saanich-Gulf Islands,” she said. “I will keep up my end and keep up my hard work in Ottawa and in my constituency.”

Conservative Party candidate Robert Boyd has been working hard this campaign. He said what he has heard on the many doorsteps, at meetings and coffee parties, is that this election is about protect-ing Canada’s economy.

“It’s about keeping taxes low and supporting families and seniors,” he said.

“The Conservatives are the only party who plan on keeping taxes low and in fact we’re going to get them lower — and we’ll do that by balancing the budget.”

Boyd said the Liberals are going to raise peo-ple’s taxes and that will have an impact across the country.

In Saanich-Gulf Islands, Boyd said the high seniors population means whoever wins on Oct. 19 will have to support what he called the fastest-growing sector in the country.

General election day is Monday, Oct. 19. The polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m.

[email protected]

Continued from page 9

In 2007 the Federal Elections Act was amended, mandating that elections be held every four years on the

third Monday in October, unless, prior to that date, the government loses the confidence of the House of Commons.

This year, election day falls on October 19.

In recent federal elec-tions, campaigns have lasted 37 days. This year Parliament was dissolved on August 2 — thus signal-ling an early start to the offi-cial 2015 campaign.

We are now nearing the end of the longest federal election campaign in the history of Canada — 78 days from dropping the writ until election day.

Aside from the wear and tear on the more than 1,000 candidates running for office, and the gruelling toll on party leaders, this extended campaign period represents a major cost for the taxpayer.

It is not the cost of the campaign itself; that is financed by the political parties. Rather, it is the leaders’ almost daily deluge of never-ending spending promises, should we choose them and their party to gov-ern the country for the next four years.

Elizabeth May, leader of the Green Party, is the pro-ponent of a lot of great ideas — unchanged since they were announced, and rea-sonably costed.

Regardless however, of how logical key elements of the Green party platform

may be, we know that in this election, they will not form government.

The three major party leaders, urging us to usher them into the Prime Minis-ter’s office, almost trip over themselves with continuing spending announcements.

These promises range from the millions to the hundreds of millions — and even billions of dollars. Each claims to identify a matching source of addi-tional revenues to fund the expenditures. Many of these offsetting revenues how-ever, can best be described

as ranging from “back of the envelope” calculations, to outright nonsense.

After many years of deficits prompted by the 2008/09 worldwide finan-cial crisis, we will be hand-ing our Prime Minister and his government a balanced budget.

One thing is certain. Should whomever becomes Prime Minister actually implement all campaign promises, avoiding deficits over the next few years will be very difficult — likely impossible.

One party is, in fact, campaigning on the mer-its of running a significant “planned” deficit for some years to finance its pro-posed spending. Perhaps our saving grace will again be that many campaign promises are often forgot-ten once a party secures its place as government.

Our system of democ-racy gives every party the unfettered right to promise anything it wishes — then,

if elected to government, to carry out those promises, or not.

It does seem bizarre to realize that it is our, the tax-payers’ money, being used as a carrot to attract our votes. The parties and their leaders will defend them-selves, claiming that they are simply laying out and costing their platforms.

Fair enough, but let us recognize that we are willing participants in a campaign largely based on costly promises — the economics of which are often myopi-cally justified through rose-coloured glasses — and ulti-mately, funded by us.

Much as we rail against these attempts at what is really a legal form of vote buying, we know that a bet-ter system of democracy is not to be found. All we can do is vote for the party with the platform we feel presents the most credible option for us, our region, and Canada.

We can also be grate-

ful that, as lengthy as our current campaign is, it is of minimal duration compared of the one currently under way in the U.S. One can only imagine the extra litany of costly promises that would emerge if we had more than one year of campaigning.

Agree or disagree with this rant on election prom-ises — it is your right. On October 19 you will have the privilege to contribute your voice to a very impor-tant decision on the future of our country.

World-wide, countless millions can only dream of this same opportunity. Do not squander yours!

Please vote on October 19.

It also has a branch, or company, based in Nanaimo and is cur-rently around 200 sol-diers strong. To get ready for the official change of command last month, Farmer said he was scrambling for the bits and pieces of the unit’s ceremonial garb and taking drill (marching) lessons from Talbot, who had served in the military in the U.K.

“I think this is pretty new for them as well,” Farmer said of the change to a full civil-

ian Honorary Colonel. “But people like (B.C.’s) Lieutenant-Governor is a civilian and also the Honorary Colonel of the Rocky Mountain Rangers.”

Talbot said, during his outgoing speech at the ceremony, that the focus of the unit and all of the Canadian Forces had been on Afghani-stan until recently. Now, the Scottish makes a transition to a full civil-ian as Honorary Colo-nel.

“I wish him every success and that the Regiment provide him every opportunity (to succeed).”

Farmer is no stranger to giving back to the community. His fam-ily established Farmer Construction on Van-couver Island and he served as Chancellor of the University of Victo-ria until January of this year.

Earlier this year, his family donated a large sum of money to the university for a sports wall of fame in the new campus gymnasium building.

His role with the Reg-iment, he said, does not come with any specific agenda, yet there is a fundraising element.

“For the local mili-tia, the Canadian gov-ernment supplies their essential needs for training. The more non-essential things are my focus.”

Those include their formal dress uniforms, ceremonial functions and more.

Farmer said his gen-eration made up a golden era in this coun-try, as it experienced a prolonged time of peace — and for the most part, the Island and the nation still is. After being asked if he would fill the role, Farmer said it is his chance to do his duty.

Montreal, Quebec - The Lincoln brand has been on a sales revival roll of late, especially since we discovered that movie star Matthew McConaughey is, and long before anyone paid him to drive them, captivated by Lincoln vehicles. Well, he’s got another one to drool over now, the all-new Lincoln MKX.The midsize premium utility segment, where the new Lincoln MKX will circulate, represents a whopping 25 per cent of all luxury market sales in Canada. That’s a far bigger (percentage-wise) chunk of the premium auto pie than this segment draws in the US. Additionally, the MKX is made in Canada. The second generation (first generation debuted as a 2007 model) redesign, however, moves this MKX even further away from its Ford family ties. The new body is lower and wider with

curvaceous sculptured lines above the front and rear wheel openings. The Lincoln MKX drive experience is primarily about comfort, quietness and abundant power, which the new optional 2.7 litre V6 EcoBoost engine certainly provides. It can deliver up to 330 hp, yet what’s most impressive about this engine is its silky, smooth V8-like performance with beefy torque output (up to 370 lb-ft), especially at low engine speeds. The carry-over base engine is a 3.7-litre, 300-hp V6.That said, MKX buyers will pay a hefty premium for the 2.7-litre twin-turbo engine. Pricing for a 3.7 MKX starts at

$45,890, but it jumps to $53,940 for the 2.7 EcoBoost version. Then again, that’s still a bargain compared to Euro competitors like a BMW X5 ($65,500 to $85,200) or a Mercedes-Benz GLE

($63,200 to $81,100).Our test-drive tour through the Eastern Townships of Quebec confirmed that the MKX is a worthy wearer of the Lincoln badge. The new integral link rear suspension, as well as the body structure and chassis upgrades, passed the rough-road challenge with aplomb. The MKX comes standard with Lincoln Drive Control, a suite of ride-enhancing technologies and it offers three driving modes (Normal, Sport and Comfort). The Lincoln “Intelligent” all-wheel drive system is also standard, as is a new adaptive electric power-assisted steering system that can change both steering feel and quickness, dependent on a number of operating factors. While I prefer a shift lever of some type, the push-button transmission selector on the dash does give the MKX interior a sleek, uncluttered appearance. City/highway fuel economy is rated at 14.7/10.3 L/100km (3.7L V6) and 14.1/9.7 L/100 km (2.7LV6).If parking is not your favourite pastime Lincoln MKX has a

couple of new technology solutions. An enhanced park assist system, offers 360-degree camera coverage to provide a birds-eye view of the vehicle (and up to almost two metres all around it), making any low-speed parking situation easier. An even more advanced “auto-pilot” parking system, with 12 ultrasonic sensors, can now guide MKX into a perpendicular

parking stall, in addition to parallel parking assist and park out assist.Like most vehicles in this class, numerous helpful driver safety aids are available for the MKX and include adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping system, blind spot information system and cross-traffic alert.

At just 22, Tyler Shaw has had quite the journey.

He started writing music at 13 and that’s the root of the name of his debut album, Yesterday. The album was released in September and includes the title track, which he says was his first big hit when he was younger. His family and friends loved the song and it was the song he played at his high school talent show — which was another reason he chose that as his title.

“I do believe that whatever you do today kind of reflects on who you are tomorrow,” he says. “So this whole album is basically what I’ve done in the past to make me who I am today.”

Shaw’s first time in Sidney comes Oct. 18 and there will be at least one special guest among the crowd at the Mary Winspear Centre to welcome him.

“I actually have a grandmother who lives in Sid-ney so she’ll be coming to the show, which is awe-some,” he told the PNR.

Shaw’s success broke through in 2012 when he won the MuchMusic Coca Cola Covers Contest, going straight into releasing his debut single, Kiss Goodnight.

Currently residing in Newfoundland, the Nanaimo-born Allison Crowe is making her way back to the west to perform — and this time she’s not alone.

Crowe has performed solo for more than a decade and has made a change and formed a band this past summer.

“We’re just sort of getting going so it should be a lot of fun,” she said.

The band consists of Dave Baird on bass, Bil-lie Woods on guitar and vocals and the newest member, Celine Greb who plays cello and sings.

“It’s a group of peo-ple. We all do different things and play differ-ent instruments and have different jobs,” Crowe laughed.

In a hybrid of Canadi-ana, Celtic, jazz, roots, folk, soul and original rock, Sidney’s Mary Winspear Centre on Oct. 23 will be the first stop on the short tour for Crowe and her band as they will head out to Nanaimo and Vancou-ver after.

Crowe said she loves the Charlie White The-atre and said it’s a beau-tiful, intimate place.

Her love of music began when she was around five years old when she began taking piano lessons. From there, her musical inter-est grew.

When she was out of high school, she began working as a musician right away and never looked back.

The B.C stops will be her and the band’s first full length tour together and they will be making their first recording in White Rock for a new album.

They will be playing music live off the floor and record the same

way they would play in a concert.

Crowe said they have a couple days in stu-dio where they will lay down everything they have and go from there.

“We record exactly as we would play live. I like the energy of a live off the floor recording. My favourite thing is live performance,” she said.

Her most recent album is Spiral, released this fall. In writing her music, Crowe said she records a lot of it in her apartment.

She works as a musi-cal director as well, so when she is working on

a show, before she goes in, she likes to record

the arrangements that she works on just to

have as examples. Such work, she said, tends

to be released as an album later on.

He was asked by Kelly Clarkson to join her tour this fall, open-ing for her and Nick Jonas. Unfortunately the show was cancelled due to Clarkson having vocal strains, but none-theless Shaw says he is still thankful for the opportunity.

The young artist went from performing to small crowds at cam-pus pubs to performing in front of 20,000 peo-ple on the Canadian We Day tour.

With his growing musical success also came an opportunity that Shaw will never forget … his trip to Kenya in 2013 with Free the Children.

“The people who live out there, they have stick houses and tin roof’s, they have soccer balls made out of rope and plastic bags, but they’re unbelievably happy, always a smile on their face, always

engaging and just laughing, it’s a really cool thing to see.”

So far, Shaw says his experience has been overwhelming but fun at the same time.

“Everyday I’m learn-ing something new, everyday it’s a fresh day … I’m not doing the same thing everyday.”

When it comes to what inspires him in his music, he says it could be anything from a word he uses in a con-versation to a ladybug landing on a good-look-ing girl.

Whatever the case may be, Shaw finds a way to write about it.

He also finds ways to keep positive with his motto being ’Never Give Up,’ and he tries to inspire in listeners the same positive atti-tude he brings to his own life and music. He says people have differ-ent ways of interpreting songs they can relate to.

“Some songs that I listen to … it’ll feel different to you than what the song actually means to that writer or that singer, so every-thing just kind of has to come together, the

melodies, the music, the lyrics…”

With his fifth single, House of Cards, chart-ing, Shaw is excited to perform at the Mary Winspear Centre on Sunday at 7 p.m. and

with it being an inti-mate crowd, he counts it as a hangout more than anything.

“I love it, I really enjoy it, mainly just because it’s more of like a hang-out session and I like to

think that I’m a friendly approachable guy so I love to meet new peo-ple and hang out.”

After Sidney this weekend, Shaw will hit the road and perform in new venues.

“Canada will always be home but I may as well explore some other territories around the world.”

[email protected]


Shaw’s music is inspired by the simple, everyday things

SPORTS

NORTH SAANICH — Last Friday night the game was almost too long and on Saturday it would have been nice to have it last just a minute or so longer.

With a split in a pair of 2-1 games, the Pen-insula Panthers’ ticket was the most entertain-ing and value-packed in Greater Victoria over the two nights.

The Victoria Cou-gars invaded the con-fines of the Panorama Recreation Centre Oct. 9, coming off an 8-0 trouncing of the Saa-nich Braves the night before. They were looking for much more of the same against a youthful, fast and tal-ented Panthers group.

Right off the open-ing face off, the squads raced up and down the ice at breakneck speed — a pace that did not subside for the entire 60 minutes. The Pan-thers’ Cam Thompson would draw first blood.

With just four min-utes left in the first period, the talented 17-year-old forward stripped a Cougars’ defender deep in his own end and quickly snapped a shot over the visitors’ netminder, Anthony Ciurro, to give the Panthers a 1-0 lead.

The crowd barely had time to sit back down when at the 18:54 mark, speedy defence-man Spencer Loverock cruised down the left side into the Cougars’ end and made a nifty pass to 18-year-old Trevor Owens who was skating through the slot unchecked. Owens made no mistake going to the top of a yawning cage, once again to the delight of a boisterous fan base.

Both teams exchanged some

chances in the final minute of the period and then again through-out the second, but after 40 minutes, the Panthers were clinging to the 2-0 lead.

The game went back and forth in the final 20 minutes. The Cou-gars had a sense of urgency in their game and started to take con-trol. The Cougars’ Dom Kolbeins, on the power play midway through the period, beat Pan-thers’ starter Alex Olson to make it a one-

goal game. Victoria yanked

Ciurro with just over a minute remaining. The Panthers hung on for the win. Olson picked up the first star after blocking 24 of 25 Cou-gars’ attempts. Ciurro was tagged with the loss in stopping 14 of 16 Panthers’ chances.

Owens garnered the second star and Ciurro was named the game’s third star.

On Saturday, Oct. 10, the Panthers were at Kerry Park and lost, 2-1 score.

The Islanders held a 2-0 lead after 40 minutes and it was the Panthers who came within a goal in the third period after Loverock scored on the power play with goalie Olson on the bench for the extra attacker. Olson went back between the pipes until just over a

minute remained and with the extra attacker, the Pan-thers once again applied pressure but could not find the equalizer.

“What a great couple of games,” said Head Coach Rob Mortin. “We were thrilled to meet and beat the Cougars at home ... and were just a shot or two short in the game up Island on Sat-urday.

“Our kids really competed

this weekend. I don’t think as a fan you could have seen any better hockey. I have had people come up to me over the past 24 hours want-ing to talk about the game on Friday night.”

The Panthers are back at it this Friday (tonight, Oct. 16) when they host the visit-ing and North Division lead-ing Campbell River Storm. Puck drops at 7:30 p.m.

CMHC — Bathroom reno-vations are one of the most popular home improvement projects in Canada.

Creating your dream bath-room can add greatly to both the value of your house, as well as your family’s enjoy-ment of your home. But bathroom renovations also offer a number of opportuni-ties to include several fea-tures that can dramatically improve the energy — and water — efficiency of your house, while making your home healthier and more comfortable.

If you’re thinking about renovating your bathroom, Canada Mortgage and Hous-ing Corporation (CMHC) offers the following tips on how to make sure your reno-vation is as efficient, green and affordable as possible:

• Install low-flow faucets, shower heads and fixtures, as well as ultra-low flush toi-lets that consume six litres of water or less per flush.

Bathrooms account for about 75 per cent of the water used in the average Canadian home. Water-effi-cient fixtures can signifi-cantly reduce the amount of water your family sends down the drain on a daily basis.

• To conserve resources and minimize your envi-ronmental footprint, select certified forest flooring and cabinetry, recycled counter-tops and tiles, and locally-sourced products and mate-rials.

Plus, choose materials, products and finishes that are low-emission, low-pollut-ing, easy to clean and main-tain, and which will remain in good condition for years

to come.• Plan for future renova-

tions by making sure your bathroom will be able to adapt to changes in your needs as you or your family members get older.

For example, make sure the controls and fixtures are within easy reach, install grab bars beside the toilet and bathtub, use a non-slip surface in the bathtub or shower, and install a shower head on a vertical slide bar so it can be set at a variety of different heights.

• To cut down on your monthly utility bills, choose low-energy lighting and exhaust fans, install more energy-efficient ENERGY STAR® windows, insulate the hot and cold water pipes, and improve the insu-lation in the walls and ceil-ing wherever feasible.

• Prevent the growth of mold by using moisture-resistant materials and fin-ishes, such as ceramic tile, natural stone or laminates. Also, make sure your bath-room has adequate ventila-tion to ensure that conden-sation, moisture and odours will be vented directly to the outside.

• If you will be replacing any cabinets, fixtures or materials, plan in advance for how you can reuse, recy-cle or safely dispose of the old fixtures.

• To keep costs to a min-imum, avoid potentially expensive rework by iden-tifying and addressing any concerns that might arise before you begin construc-tion.

Use quality, durable and long-lasting materials. And select a timeless, efficient

design that will extend both the life of your bathroom and the time until your next renovation.

Life, wherever it is at that time, is what inspires Crowe. She said it has to do with mostly her own life, her reaction to outside events and all the personal stuff.

“Sometimes I’ll write the lyrics and then think of a melody for that after. Sometimes a song or a chord progression comes to me first and I either put words to it or I go back to old poems or something and put that in, too, if it fits the music. It’s kind of all over the place.”

Crowe said being a solo artist for so long has been lonely and working with the band has been much more enjoyable.

“For me it’s fun to play with other musicians and sort of have that energy on stage. And there’s some-

thing totally different about solo per-forming. At the same time I really pre-fer playing with a band because its so much fun. It’s sort of like a form of communication. You’re working with musicians and you’re sort of speak-ing to each other through music.”

After her B.C tour and recording session, Crowe will go back to New-foundland to get ready for a solo Christmas show. She and the band will then take off to Europe in the new year.

For Crowe, music is everything and has been a part of her life for as long as she can imagine.

“It’s just been so much a part of my life I can’t imagine doing anything else. It’s a form of communication, it’s a language in and of itself and I don’t really know anyone that doesn’t love music.”
