Steve Weller says he doesn’t anticipate any jump in crime or other issues because of his proposed liquor store.

Weller is planning to open the store on Canora Road, across from a North Saanich

residential subdivision and next door to Enterprise car rentals. He told Sidney town council this month that he had heard some opponents of the project complain that the store would cause a jump in local crime. That’s something he disputes and said coun-cil should not consider as credible informa-tion when considering the new store.

Weller owns the property at 9429 Canora Rd. and plans on renovating the building to accommodate the liquor store. It will include four parking stalls out front and revamp the site to allow the car rental facility better park-ing space.

Voters in Saanich-Gulf Islands once again turned out at the polls more than most places across the country.

During Canada’s 42nd general federal election, 79.47 per cent of registered voters in the riding cast a ballot. That’s compared with the national average of 68.49 per cent.

By comparison, the 2011 federal election saw voter turnout of 73.8 per cent in Saanich Gulf-Islands. Nation-ally, the average four years ago was 61 per cent.

Taking a look at Elections Canada poll results (the source for this data — noting that the 2015 results are unofficial at this time), the Liberal Party of Canada won its majority gov-ernment in Ottawa with 39.5 per cent of the popular vote. Finishing sec-ond, the Conservatives earned 31.9 per cent. The NDP took 19.7, the Bloc Quebecquois at 4.7 and the Green Party at 3.4 per cent.

Green Party leader and re-elected Saanich-Gulf Islands MP Elizabeth May took the riding with more than half of votes cast — 54.3 per cent, or 37,076 total votes.

Conservative Robert Boyd, in sec-ond, earned only 19.7 per cent, or 13,263 ballots.

Tim Kane of the Liberals, who was not swept up in the so-called Red Wave that swept the country Oct. 19, took 16.8 per cent (11,430 votes) and Alicia Cormier of the NDP, 9.1 per cent (6,181 votes).

Libertarian candidate, Meghan Jess Porter garnered only 268 votes, or 0.4 per cent of the popular vote in the riding.

In this election, nearly the same amount of registered voters cast a ballot as did in the 2011 race — 68,218, compared with 68,987 four years ago. However, since the

boundaries of Saanich-Gulf Islands were tweaked prior to the election, there are 7,500 fewer total registered voters.

In 2011 the riding had 93,380 registered voters. This time, there were only 85,839 out of a total riding population of 104,285.

Prime Minister-elect Justin Trudeau extended his major-ity government even into the B.C. Interior Monday, as Lib-eral Stephen Fuhr knocked off Conservative incumbent Ron Cannan in Kelowna-Lake Country.

Trudeau thanked support-ers in his Montreal riding, and began preparations to imple-ment his new government policies after nine and a half years of Conservative rule in Ottawa.

“For three years we had a very old-fashioned strategy,” Trudeau said. “We met with and talked with as many Cana-dians as we could, and we lis-tened.”

Major commitments by the Liberal campaign include legalizing recreational mari-juana sales and running three years of deficits to build infra-structure across the country.

Trudeau has also promised to scrap the Conservative government’s approval for the Northern Gateway pipe-line and enforce a ban on oil tanker traffic on B.C.’s north coast.

The Conservative Party issued a statement that Ste-phen Harper would resign

as leader but would stay on as MP in his Calgary riding, where he won a seventh term.

“While tonight’s result is not what we had hoped for, the Canadian people are never wrong,” Harper told support-ers, adding his congratula-tions to Trudeau.

On Vancouver Island, seven-time Conservative MP John

Duncan was knocked off by NDP challenger Gord Johns in Courtenay-Alberni, one of the new seats created for the 2015 election.

While the Liberals picked up several Lower Mainland seats, traditional voting patterns held up in much of the prov-ince. Conservatives Cathy McLeod (Kamloops-Thomp-

son-Cariboo) and Mel Arnold (North Okanagan-Shuswap) won their seats.

In Victoria, NDP incumbent Murray Rankin held off a chal-lenge from the Green Par-ty’s Jo-Ann Roberts in a seat where the Liberal candidate resigned.

Green Party leader Elizabeth May was re-elected in Saanich-Gulf Islands.

Vancouver Island saw six of seven rid-

ings go to the NDP. Saanich-Gulf Islands was held by May. In her election night speech in downtown Victoria, May said voters’ desire to oust the Conserva-tives probably hurt her

party.“Strategic voting was

the single main fac-tor [working against Green], particularly in B.C. and also in Guelph,” she said.

“As my daughter

said, [strategic voting] had ‘truthiness’ about it.”

Tim Kane, the Liberal candidate in Saanich-Gulf Islands, placed third and says he will return to his business life now that the elec-tion is over. He is, how-ever, relieved to see the level of change across the country.

“The Liberal majority, it’s a huge sigh of relief to have a Prime Minis-ter to speak to diversity in Canada and to wel-come others — includ-ing the Conservatives — as neighbours,” he said on election night.

Kane said voters were frustrated, leading to that large turnout at the polls.

While disappointed the Liberals didn’t fare better locally, Kane noted the part in this riding almost tripled its share of the vote from the 2011 campaign.

The NDP’s Alicia Cormier, who placed fourth in Saanich-Gulf Islands, lamented the practice of strategic voting.

“It had a big impact,” she said.

Cormier noted her

supporters had esti-mated a better voter response Oct. 19, after hearing from people throughout the cam-paign that they were looking for change.

However, that mes-sage, she continued, did not seem to trans-late into local votes for her party.

Elsewhere on the Island, the NDP main-tained or gained seats in the House. Former

Conservative seats in the Nanaimo-Parksville area and North Island, both went orange in this election.

The NDP held the B.C. coast, with Rachel Blaney winning North

Island-Powell River and veteran North Coast NDP MP Nathan Cullen re-elected in Skeena-Bulkley Valley.

Prime Minister-elect Justin Trudeau speaks to supporters in his Quebec riding Monday night.

Jeff Nagel BC Local News

VANCOUVER — For months, anti-Conservative campaigners from environmentalists to veterans tried to persuade like-minded voters to coalesce behind the strongest opponent in each riding.

But as the dust settles on the Liberals’ powerful majority victory, it’s unclear if those strategic vot-ing attempts had great effect, other than to demol-ish Green Party hopes to add seats.

Organizations like LeadNow and the Dogwood Initiative funded riding-level polls to try to help guide their followers.

LeadNow recommended NDP candidates in 11 B.C. ridings, and the Liberals for two seats on the North Shore.

All but three of those chosen candidates won their races.

One notable exception was the choice of the NDP candidate in Vancouver-Granville who ended up third behind the Liberal victor and the Conser-vative runner-up as voters apparently disregarded the advice.

Mario Canseco, vice-president of Insights West, which did polling for Dogwood, said strategic vot-ing attempts appear to have had more effect on Vancouver Island than in the Lower Mainland, where those efforts were swamped by the strength of the Liberal wave.

“There are certain pockets where strategic vot-ing worked very well and probably enabled some NDP victories,” he said, adding a few New Demo-crats were elected on the Island who otherwise would not likely have prevailed over Conserva-tives.

LeadNow made no recommendations in some ridings presumed to be safe Conservative seats that ended up hotly contested.

Carlie ConnollyNews staff

Central Saanich staff are going to be looking into a public process on densification and infill in the municipality.

Councillor Bob Thompson asked coun-cil and staff to review and update densifica-tion and infill policies. His Oct. 5 motion, approved Oct. 19, asked for a report from staff and information to do a review on the guidelines, bringing it back to council to con-sider action for 2016.

Thompson said he

isn’t sure what will hap-pen with the next step once they get feedback from staff.

He said that infill and densification are both important issues in the community and thinks council needs to go through a couple of stages.

One is to inform the public about their offi-cial community plan, why they’re doing den-sification and what information has been collected to date to cre-ate a baseline.

He added that they will have some initial discussions and work

on developing some guidelines.

Thompson said that

for most people living in residential areas, their home and sense of place can be most impacted by densifi-cation, potentially dis-rupted by higher den-sity housing.

It can present a chal-lenge for people to deal with that change, he said, adding it’s not just about change itself, it’s issues of maintaining privacy and parking.

He said the District has an urban contain-ment area, which is a thick black line drawn around the existing commercial, industrial and residential areas.

The idea is that devel-opers won’t expand housing and subdivi-sions into rural areas.

Thompson said its really an anti-sprawl activity, in terms of maintaining Central

Saanich farmland and rural lands.

[email protected]

It’s difficult, Canseco said, for unite-the-left strategists to get enough granular riding-level data on individual races to gauge how they are evolving in time to be useful to voters.

Strategic voting was based on the premise that Liberals, NDP and Green supporters would risk leaving room for Conserva-tives to win many races unless they first settled on a single con-sensus candidate.

A shorter campaign might have resulted in a Conservative victory, he said.

Instead, the Liberals had more time to build momentum and present leader Justin Trudeau as a viable prime minister.

Canseco doesn’t accept one theory that the red wave resulted mainly from the Con-servatives’ choice to emphasize the niqab issue in Quebec, harm-

ing NDP chances there and mak-ing the Liberals seem the more obvious alternative for the any-one-but-Harper movement.

He said NDP leader Tom Mul-cair simply did not perform as well in debates or on the cam-paign trail as he did before in the House of Commons, and the choice to balance the budget made him seem like “a small ‘C’ Conservative” compared to the bolder Liberals.

“They weren’t able to solidify this idea that they were the vehi-cle for change,” Canseco said.

Green on greenIn the campaign’s final week,

several prominent B.C. envi-ronmentalists publicly turned away from the Greens in favour of either the NDP or Liberals, in the name of preventing another Conservative government.

Green leader Elizabeth May likened it to being gunned down by “friendly fire.”

When the votes were tal-lied, the Green vote in B.C. had increased only marginally – from 7.7 per cent to 8.2 per cent – and they hung onto only May’s seat.

Speaking to supporters on election night, May said strate-gic voting was a major factor.

“Particularly on Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland was the notion that people who wanted to vote Green shouldn’t. Couldn’t. Would be bad people if they did,” she said.

That was hard to overcome, May said, because many Greens, Liberals and New Democrats shared the same priority.

“It was simply not possible to imagine this country enduring a single second more of Stephen Harper’s policies.”

How can I stop my headaches without medications“My head hurts sometimes, I take medications to manage it but I’m worried about taking them long-term. I’ve visited quite a few health practitioners with varying results. Where do headaches come from? Is any of this related to my teeth or jaw? If so why?”

Headaches are a significant interruption when you experience them infrequently, but as you experience them more and more f requently they can become debilitating or just start to become part of your daily life. Popping pills to manage them also becomes normal. There are many people with headaches that never get treated at the source. Our bodies are amazing at recovering and healing if we remove the source of the problem, but if the source remains the pain often continues in an off and on pattern.

The most common pain felt among all humans is muscle pain. In our head and neck we have 50+ paired sets of muscles responsible for chewing, swallowing, talking, clenching, talking, jaw posture, neck posture and movement. These muscles attach and overlap our entire face, head and neck. This is a significant source of headaches! The reason a dentist often needs

to get involved in treating headaches is the majority of your head and neck muscles are connected to your jaw. Pain comes from the jaw muscles and the jaw joint. The jaw also happens to be attached to your teeth and attached to your neck, face, head, and collarbones by muscles. Complicating things is these muscles and joints refer pain to other spots on your head, much like a heart attack (a muscular pain caused by lack of oxygen) often refers pain up into the jaw.

A jaw joint trained dentist can sort this all out and help you with your headaches by getting to the source with non-surgical treatment that will bring you relief and resolution. Jaw related headaches are frequently a result of a forgotten bump to the face, a “minor” car accident, clenching, or missing teeth that change how your jaw is supported. There are other causes. We have a proven method to confirm if your headaches are face and jaw related and bring about resolution of your headaches.

Mixed blessing on Canora

A proposal for a new liquor store in West Sidney is almost a classic example of the good coming with the bad.

Or, at least, it’s an example of a development — seen as disagreeable

in some eyes — having the potential to solve other problems.

Steve Weller’s idea of a small liquor store along Canora Avenue will be getting attention from neighbours and both the Town of Sidney and District of North Saanich. Not only will they be looking at issues such as the proliferation of alcohol sales, but the concerns of nearby residents are sure to come up.

Those are just some of the issues facing the owner of the property in his quest to improve the building and the land.

At the same time, if Weller follows through with those plans if and when he gets the green light, the redesign of the property and building renovation could very well make what is a dated facade today, look great tomorrow.

Plus, it has the added side benefit of possibly resolving an irritant for neighbours.

One of the property tenants, Enterprise Car Rental, has limited space to park its vehicles. When they get busy, some are parked on Canora Avenue and Frost Avenue in a residential area.

This issue has led to numerous complaints to both Sidney and North Saanich — as both municipalities have jurisdiction over half of Canora Avenue, the area’s border line. Yet to date, little has been done to ensure the parking issue does not happen again.

Redevelopment of the property could solve the problem.

For some, liquor stores are not the most desirable of uses for land, especially when it’s right in your backyard. On the flip side, if the property is left as-is, the other problems remain.

There is going to have to be some form of compromise in the end, and it hinges on whether the liquor store idea gets the go-ahead.

If it’s an allowable use under current municipal zoning bylaws, the new store should be given every chance to proceed.

That said, the owner should also be held to account for his promise to clean up the corner.

It’s the only way people will accept it.

Once again we are subjected to our shining MP’s outlandish com-ments subsequent to her re-election in Saanich-Gulf Islands.

To suggest that she is thrilled to represent us in Ottawa and to gloat about Mr. Harper’s demise as prime minister seems to conflict with her personal ideals of getting along with others and respect for this institu-tion.

Probably don’t need to remind her that she will be working along-side the Conservative Opposition, once again, alone, for the next four years.

Probably don’t need to point out that the Conservative Party gar-nered about five million more votes across the country than her Green Party.

Bob LougheedSidney

Flawed, but all we haveWhen the party I prefer is not

the big winner, I would like to make some positive remarks. First of all that all Canadians are blessed to live in a free society.

Right at this very moment, mil-lions of people flee from households established for generations. They want to re-establish themselves where peace can be expected.

As an immigrant family we feel very blessed with our new country.

After all the political rhetoric, it

would be nice if Canada would make a sincere effort to invite those who lost everything to re-establish them-selves and start living in peace and harmony. Ms. Merkel of Germany is giving the free world a good exam-ple.

She is not innocent about the related risks she is taking by doing so. However, she learned her les-sons in her younger years living

under the reign of a Communist dic-tatorship.

I believe that Canadians at large are ready to follow her example.

Canada became Canada because over the years strangers were allowed to become part of us. With the addition of future immigrants, our current cultural mosaic can only become more interesting and enhanced.

May the established or new gov-ernment adopt other countries’ poli-cies so together we can make Can-ada an even more exciting place.

We have much to share and by doing so we only can become richer in culture and mature together.

Of course all precautions have to be attended to, so those who apply for Canadian citizenship will indeed enrich our wonderful society.

It doesn’t computeA very wealthy retailer in Toronto

(Honest Ed) had a strong policy ... “You do not expand until your burst-ing at the seams.”

We have numerous empty retail spaces, plus we’re still building more in the downtown area and now we’re to build more, including a grocery store?

Doesn’t compute!Jeanette Elsom

Letters to the Editor


Enterprise has been the target on resident complaints in recent months, as they park their rental vehicles along Canora and on Frost Avenue, in a residential area. Weller said he’s aware of the issue, noting that the com-pany does park on Frost, “on heavy weekends.” He added his plans should help alleviate that parking pressure.

Coun. Erin Bremner asked if there are any signs on Frost that say ‘no parking’ or parking for residents only. Weller said no, and that parking is allowed on both sides of the street 24 hours a day.

Bremner asked if the Town should consider putting up such signage — an idea Weller approved of.

“It’s a great idea, do it,” he

said at council’s Oct. 13 meeting. “Parking is a problem in Sidney, you know that.”

Bremner added she thinks the parking in that part of town should be included in a park-ing study, recently awarded to Boulevard Transportation. The focus of that study is Sidney’s downtown commercial core, but council was on board with including this portion of West Sidney.

Chief Administrative Officer Randy Humble said staff can explore options for the area, such as amalgamating Sidney’s streets and traffic bylaws to pro-

hibit that type of commercial use of streets.

“It comes down to good neigh-bours,” said Coun. Barbara Fal-lot.

She encouraged Weller and the businesses on the property to meet and talk. Weller agreed.

“No one wants that corner cleaned up more than I do,” he said.

Council will send Weller’s site proposal on to the District of North Saanich for their input. The District has jurisdiction on the west side of Canora Road.

The project will also be reviewed by Sidney’s Advisory Planning Commission, which will make recommendations to council on the form and charac-ter of the proposal.

SOOKE — The Capital Regional District will bor-row $6 million to build a new Vancouver Island Regional Library in Sooke.

The CRD will take out the loan on behalf of VIRL. VIRL would service the debt for construction of the new library. A new library has been planned for Sooke for several years, as the current facility on Anna Marie Road is outdated.

Recently, plans for a new library took a back seat after there were no successful applicants in the bid to build the facility. The library plan was referred to VIRL’s executive board is expected to debate the proposal and report back to the VIRL board this fall.

North Saanich and Sidney are also looking at potential library sites. The District of North Saa-nich has asked VIRL to look at a potential site of a new library at the land around Panorama Rec-reation Centre. Sidney is wanting to hold a public information session to explore their options.

Society keeps on SparklingSteven HeywoodNews staff

Long-time volunteer Dawn Trivet will be tak-ing over as president of the Peninsula Celebra-tions Society.

Trivet, also one of the Society founders, will replace outgoing presi-dent Joanne Olsen. The change was announced at the Oct. 13 Town of Sidney council meeting.

The Society expressed thanks to its many sponsors and supporters — all of whom work together

to make their many events happen.

The next one is the Sidney Sparkles Santa Claus Parade on Dec. 6 on Beacon Avenue.

Volunteers have been working to restore Dominion Brook Park to its former glory.

Falling into disrepair in the 1980s when the federal govern-ment decided they didn’t want anything to do with it, some neighbours decided in the early 2000s that they wanted to form a group to restore it.

For the last 15 years, they took out lots of invasive plants, work-ing to improve the park.

Volunteers are planting 1,000 Deer ferns (Blechnum spicant) and after years of planning and fundraising, the Friends of Dominion Brook Park Soci-ety are happy to announce the beginning of ‘on the ground’ res-toration work of the Jewel of the Park, the Rhodo Ravine.

Board member and volunteer,

Ed Johnson said that under a stewardship agreement between the federal government, the Dis-trict of North Saanich and the Friends Society, work began in 2001 to rejuvenate the much neglected park.

He said for the Ravine restora-tion, there were many permits and studies required before work could begin.

With phase two of the Island View Beach Regional Park Management Planning Process com-plete, phase three has begun as District of Central Saanich council prepares a meeting for the third week of November to flesh out various priorities of the stakeholder groups using the beach.

Mayor Ryan Windsor says council will also try to create a management plan. In the process, coun-cil will speak about what concerns Central Saanich and various groups.

He said the presentation on Monday allowed council to turn their minds to the feedback which they think they need to provide.

Windsor said they will hear from residents which will help them to come to a decision on what feedback they want to provide to the CRD on the park.

will only require a single kick at the Clubman’s can to stow the stuff. The Clubman shares engine choices with the rest of the Mini clan; a base three-cylinder with 102 horsepower, the Cooper’s three-cylinder at 136 horsepower, or the Cooper S’s four-cylinder with 192. Transmission choices are the six-speed manual, or a new eight-speed automatic. BMW’s usual arsenal of road-conquering technologies are either built in or are available.The Stockholm area presented a few challenges. Firstly, it is city of 14 islands, with hundreds more nearby. This means a lot of water, which means a lot of bridges - and a good number of ferries. The rolling, lake-studded Canadian Shield-like landscape northeast of Stockholm does present inviting stretches - but the tempting country roads are home to the very vigilant police force, and dreaded Blue Meanies. Once the Clubman broke free from these constraints, its inner go-kart was revealed. There was never any doubt that there was more Mini than usual to throw around, but fun could be summoned - especially with Sport mode selected. The manual certainly kept it real, but the automatic really needed to be in its own Sport mode to simulate the experience.This new six-door strikes a nice compromise between Mini mania and multitasking. Like the car, the families who take delivery after the Clubman shows up in showrooms early next year are growing out, not up. The Mini Cooper Clubman starts at $24,990, the Mini Cooper S Clubman at $28,990. Of course,

these being Minis means infinite (almost) options and individualization,

which would take you north of that pretty quickly.

Clubman pushes Mini to the maxSTOCKHOLM, Sweden - It’s hard to stand out in this stylish city full of blondes, boats and boutique prices - but a shapely rear end helps.The 2016 Mini Clubman’s caboose earned its share of stares during a recent debut on the cobblestone streets of Sweden’s capital.This third-generation Clubman is the biggest Mini yet, taking the famous BMW-owned brand from “subcompact” to “premium compact” territory. It would have been easy to mess this assignment up: Upsize an odd-duck subcompact model (the previous Clubman, with its bizarre fifth “suicide door” layout), add a host of roomy creature comforts, religiously adhere to the spunky personality of the car, and make it look like a Mini.Thankfully, the Mini-ons were up to the task.They started with a new chassis, shared with BMW’s front-wheel-drive 2-Series Active Tourer.The look is lower, longer, and wider but the front of the car remains resolutely smiley-face Mini. As the elongated roof stretches over the four full doors and begins to taper, however, things become interesting. The new Clubman is pleasantly two-faced - the trademark “barn doors” combine with sheet-metal and taillight curves to give the rear an arresting “I’m-watching-you” look. All of this design work has one aim - more cupholders. Well, not really. It’s about making it possible to fit in four of your friends or family, plus some luggage. (If you reduce that to four

in total, the two in the back do, indeed, get to enjoy cupholders that spring from a fold-down armrest.)Project leader Ernst Fricke proudly proclaimed that the Clubman can “be used as the first car in the family.” The interior certainly lives up to the premium label, and the dash, steering wheel and heads-up display fairly bristle with infotainment connectivity. The presence of a real console (yes, cupholders

and storage) comes courtesy of the use of an electric parking brake, and adds unprecedented (for Mini) elbow room. Lots of very cool LED lighting would help ward off some of the inevitable blues brought on by long, dark Swedish winters.The front seats (electric is an option) offer just the right amount of bolstering for go-kart moves, and legroom is fine for an almost-six-footer. A short ride aft revealed almost un-Mini-like room for backseat drivers, although road noise and roughness seemed more pronounced than up front.Trunk volume with the rear seats folded down is listed at about 44 cubic feet (compared to the Volkswagen Golf Sportwagon’s cavernous 66.5 cubic feet), and there is an optional three-way splitting rear seat back to juggle loads.The barn doors allow plenty of access for those Ikea boxes, and get even more fun with the optional easy-opener feature. With the key in your pocket, one kick under the rear bumper opens the right door, another kick opens the left. Chances are most shopping trips

‘‘The look is lower, longer, and wider but the front of the car remains resolutely smiley-face Mini!’’Gord Scott

Halloween fun returns this weekend to Heritage Acres in Cen-tral Saanich with the family-oriented Pump-kin Express.

Hosted Oct. 23 to 25 at the site by the Van-couver Island Model Engineers (VIME), the trains will be running and taking passen-gers through spooky bridges and past haunted scenes — suit-able for families with young children.

Event co-ordinator Diana Wigen says vol-unteers with the club and students from Claremont, Reynolds and Stelly’s schools, have been decorating Heritage Acres. UVic Science Ventures will be out on Friday and Music for Young Chil-dren will have a drum-making session.

Activities include train rides, haunted tunnel, graveyard scav-enger hunt, refresh-ments, pumpkin carv-ing and more.

Wigen said 130 pumpkins have been donated by local farms.

This is the first year for VIME’s Pumpkin Express. Wigen said they wanted to do something special for younger children and their families, as there

are so many other Hal-loween activities for teens and adults.

“It’ll just get better,” she said.

The Pumpkin Express runs from 4 to 9 p.m. each evening — with the last train ride at 8:45 p.m.

There will be a $5 fee at the gate and train rides will be given on a by-donation basis, to help VIME cover costs.

Heritage Acres can be reached via Island View Road, a turn off the Pat Bay Highway at Michell Farms.

On Halloween night, Victoria-area band The Zoo Riots will open for Finger Eleven’s Fall of the Ham-mer Tour at the Mary Winspear Centre.

The band were the winners of a contest seeking out local talent and will get the opportunity to per-form and meet the band.

Three of the five members, Justin Campbell, Liam McLaren and Cayman Burke sat down with the PNR to talk music, goals and their exciting

opportunity. They describe their live shows as incorporating blues, R&B, progressive/psyche-delic rock, jazz and spoken word poetry.

Forming the band in 2012, most of the members attended high school together on the Saanich Pen-insula. All have been involved in music some way or another throughout their lives. The other two members of the band are Kevin McKay and Liam Moes. For McLaren, his love of song writing came when he was able to play guitar.

“It was the only real way I was sort of able to express myself. I just feel that music affects me in a really deep way so if I’m able to do that to some-one else then that’s fantastic,” he said

Campbell grew up listening to music and later took piano and then drum lessons.

“I kind of found that I wanted to write songs a lot later than you guys,” he said looking at his band mates. “I remember always being like ‘ugh those guys, they’re so good, why am I not doing this?’”

And he is now one of the main vocalists.Burke started playing in high school when he

broke his leg and said he had nothing better to do.“I started playing guitar and I made loops on

Garage Band and decided I didn’t really like the bass loops that they had, so I just bought a bass guitar and just started playing that.”

The band plays around Victoria and a few small festivals and gigs.

“With the local Victoria music scene, when you’re starting out it’s really easy to get into cer-tain bars over others or certain venues,” said Campbell.

Their big break will be when they hit the stage, opening for Finger Eleven, who are touring with Head of the Herd. As soon as they found out about the band’s contest to search out local talent, they decided to enter.

“As a band you just kind of apply for everything you can,” said Campbell.

He added it’s a huge opportunity for them career wise and he is excited to perform that night for a band he’s known since he was a teenager.

“I mean, I remember being what, 15 or 16, watch-ing Much Music and seeing their videos all the time and so it’s kind of surreal to think like, ‘oh my god, we’re playing with those guys?’ he said. “Yeah I think 15 year old me is pretty excited … and 23 year old me.”

“They’re very, very established too, I mean they’ve been around since the mid-90s. It’s just really good even to meet them, it’s just solid,” added McLaren.

Erin Latimer’s first book, Frost was released at the end of August and it’s all thanks to the push from her millions of readers.

“It’s always been the readers that have pushed this forward,” she told the PNR in an interview.

Latimer is the pen name of a Saanich Pen-insula writer, who pre-fers to stick with the nom de plume.

She began writing on a website called Watt-pad, a tight knit com-munity of readers and writers and a site that began only a couple of years ago and has shot up to 18 million readers since.

“It’s almost like a Youtube for writing because you can post little tidbits of your story and update chap-ters as you go along and readers can weigh in directly.”

She said her first book, Frost, was actu-ally written all based around reader feed-back because that’s originally where it began.

“I didn’t actually write it with any plans of publishing it at all,” she said.

It was when a reader had asked for a winter-themed fantasy that Latimer found inspi-ration. She was also inspired by where she was living a the time —

Grand Prairie, Alberta. That city provided the setting in Frost.

With Norse mythol-ogy woven in to the tale, Frost revolves around a teenage girl, Megan Walker, who kisses a boy, freezing him by accident because she doesn’t really know what she is (and to find out, you’ll have to read the book).

Uprooted by her fos-ter parents and moving to Grand Prairie from California, Megan is unimpressed with the cold and the snow and soon discovers that her ancestry is a bit weirder

than she thought. Coming out at around

200,000 words on Watt-pad, Patchwork Press later picked up her book, cutting it in half.

Latimer’s work has accumulated 10 million reads on the web site.

“All I wanted to be since I was really young, like seven or eight, was to be an author,” she said.

Her book can be found at Tanner’s Books in Sidney and she is already working on the sequel, set to be out in the middle of next year.

Latimer also does a

lot of vlogging about books for something called The YA (Young Adult) Word Nerds, which is where a group of authors who write in the young adult genre make videos seven days a week. Sundays are their live chat days on Google. The authors rotate each day, every week, with their collab-oration on Sundays.

The subject can be anything from how to write good dialogue to how to kill off a char-acter.

Latimer said it’s very interactive in its approach.

“Readers can just directly tune in and talk to us while we’re on the chat and we’ll answer them on air so it’s really

fun,” she said.Latimer has also

taught classes on build-ing a writer’s online author platform in ses-

sions at the Vancouver Public Library . She said she will be teach-ing there again this coming January.

The Zoo Riots are currently working on their debut EP which will have six or seven songs that they’ve had since the band formed.

The album will be called Arbutus Skin Lady, which is supposed to be sort of like Mother Nature, with overlapping themes in the album of domination of humanity over nature.

“We’re really not a west coast folk band at all but the place we live definitely impacts us and our music,” said Campbell.

“I generally just love the image of it,” said McLaren.

The band will be coming full circle as they per-form at the Mary Winspear Centre, where they recorded the drum tracks from their EP.

At 8 p.m. on Oct. 31, they will take to the stage in their biggest show to date.

The band is hoping to release their EP in the spring, followed by a tour of western Canada.

“It’s been a long time coming for us so we’re pretty excited to actually get it out there,” said Campbell.

Edna passed away peacefully on October 15, 2015 at the age of 85 in Saanichton, BC. Edna was born on February

07, 1930 in Morden, Manitoba. She will be lovingly remembered by the love of her life Rene “LaP” of 60

years, 3 AMAZING daughters Irene, Brenda and Andrea; 3 son in laws Allan, Andrew and Jeff and 6 grandchildren Jordan, Cassandra, Mikaela, Gabrielle, Maddison and Deaglan, as well as 3 brothers Jack, Cornie and Albert, all from Manitoba.Edna’s early years were spent on the family farm in Southern Manitoba where she developed her work ethic and strong family ties. She acknowledged and respected her Mennonite background and was able to speak low German and cook traditional Mennonite meals. When Edna was 17 years old she decided to leave the farm, the family and Morden and started the next chapter of her life. In Chilliwack she met Rene and aft er beating him in a badminton game it turned out to be a match made in heaven. Th ey married on September 17, 1955 and never looked back! Edna and Rene loved to travel and spent many grand adventures travelling the world. Th ey spent their early years stationed in Werl, Germany where Rene served with the Canadian peace keeping forces. With a second hand Mercedes they travelled Europe! Over the years Mom’s love of travel continued with trips to Hong Kong, Australia, Yukon, cruises and home to the family farm in Morden. Upon arrival back to Canada they started their family in the midst of transfers to Vancouver BC, Bagotville QB, Halifax NS, Comox BC, Goose-bay, NF and back to the West Coast to settle in Sidney BC in 1972.Words best to describe Edna are: artistic, creative, shy, loyal, stubborn, faithful, outspoken, driven and family focused. Th roughout her life many hours were spent oil painting, craft ing, needlepoint and her favourite pastime of all was ceramics and china painting. Family and friends over the years have been showered with Edna’s beautiful ceramics. She would prefer to give homemade gift s over store bought. She was also very generous with her time and spent countless hours volunteering in her Church, community as well as babysitting grandchildren. Edna and Rene volunteered with the PCA, Beacon and Shoal centre for over 40 years and re-ceived many service awards including the “Hearts of the Community.” She was also a Girl Guide leader, Sunday school teacher and a member of the Saanich Pioneers Society. She was actively involved in St. Paul’s United Church.Edna was ahead of her time with recycling and going green and passed this on to her girls. From hanging the laundry to water restrictions this was a story in itself…Over the years, 3 children later and umpteen moves and transfers, something that always bothered Edna was that she had never received a high school diploma. As an inspiration to her family at age 52 Edna went back to high school at Parkland Secondary school and graduated with honours in 1982. Th is was one of her proudest moments when she marched onto the stage in cap and gown with all the teenagers. Edna loved living in Sidney and especially at “Maryland.” She adapted to her new home at Saanich Peninsula Hospital following her stroke in 2013 and was surrounded by friends and wonderful caregivers. Ice cream sundaes in the garden and time with Rene and family gave many hours of joy and comfort. Edna had a full life with her girls, son in laws, grandchildren, 3 brothers, pets, gardening, walking and going for coff ee with LaP. Th e family would like to express their sincere thanks to the many caregivers at SPH, ECU1 and Aberdeen. Th ere will be a viewing at First Memorial Funeral Service 4725 Falaise Drive,on Wednes-day October 21, 2015 from 2:00pm to 4:00pm. A Celebration of Life will be held at St. Paul’s United Church 2410 Malaview Ave, Sidney, BC, on Friday, Oct. 23 at 1 p.m.In lieu of fl owers, donations may be made in Edna’s name to Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation.

The work began in September. With grants and donations from

supporters, the Society was able to stabilize and reline a brook through the ravine with a geo-modular vege-tative wall system (bags with a grow-ing medium) and riffle and weir the stream bed to allow the planting of the Deer ferns.

There are around a dozen volun-teers every Wednesday morning who plant, weed and apply bark mulch and rake up leaves. The last planting session was last week.

“We see an increasing use of the park all the time and we try to get the word out,”Johnson said.

He said many people, including himself, who have lived in the area for years, drove by the park, look-ing at the sign and thinking that’s all

there was along the road. Dominion Brook Park is actually 17 acres past the sign and down the hill.

He added a lot of the time people come in, trampling over plants, not staying on the trails.

“We intend to do something on the order of maybe using QR codes so that people can use their phones and go through the park and identify and learn a little about each plant as they’re looking at it,” he said.

The website (dominionbrookpark.ca) will also include what is currently blooming or what’s blooming in the season.

Johnson said the next stage, as monies become available, will be constructing pathways for public access and re-establishing the Rhodo collection with companion plantings.

As cooler weather trig-gers those nesting instincts and home

accessories go on special fall sales, the age-old ques-tion of whether it’s time to sell or renovate is running through many homeowners’ minds.

While potential buyers are gauging prospective houses on the amount of work they need versus the amount of time and money buyers want to put into them, many potential sellers are also doing the math.

“There’s going to be a tipping point if you spend too much,” said Matthew Hobor of Hobor’s Homes, a construction company that specializes in custom builds from the ground up.

He said if homeowners spend too much money upgrading, especially after the home is appraised, they are less likely to see a return on money spent.

Hobor said the best way to gauge whether your home still meets your needs is to determine if you require more space, then determine the best way to address that issue, whether via renovations or by buying a new home.

“It really depends on what you want to spend and what you want to get out of it,” he said.

Often, older homes have layouts that can be adjusted, thus opening up the house, he said. And some features such as fireplaces and walls can be moved, as long as there are no structural issues.

But he warned that as soon as a homeowner starts

adding square footage onto a home, it’s very dif-ficult to see that investment returned.

For those homeowners looking to upgrade to a big-ger nest, Hobor suggested some renovations to make a home more appealing to potential buyers.

He said the obvious one is a fresh coat of paint, which can breath new life into a tired space.

But Hobor said to also include flooring and trim into renovations before putting a home on the market.

He also reminded home-owners not to forget about the exterior, which can often need a fresh coat of paint and weathered trim replaced.

“That will definitely give it a facelift,” he said, add-ing that landscaping, like a healthy lawn, will also catch a potential buyer’s

attention. “Those things are quite aesthetically pleas-ing.”

Besides more basic upgrades to give a home a new facelift, he also sug-gested changing tired coun-

tertops to make a bigger statement and give the impression of an upgraded kitchen.

While kitchens and bath-rooms are often credited for as big selling features for

homes Hobor warns they can come with big price tags as well.

“Your average bath reno-vation or upgrade can start to push (the cost), but might be worthwhile,” he said.

Hobor suggested only doing one main bathroom to help minimize costs. “If it’s very dated, it might be worthwhile.”

He warned that undertak-ing renovations on a second or third bathroom is a proj-ect probably best left to the home’s next owners.

So if you find yourself re-evaluating your house-hold needs and revisit-ing whether your current accommodations are meet-ing those needs. Keep in mind, soometimes a few minor renovations is all it takes to realign the situa-tion.

But if your need for more space can’t be met, it may be time to move on.

Is it time to renovate or sell your home?How do you tell if your home is still working for you?

As a homeowner, you are the best judge of what is working and what is not in your current space, you may also be too close to the situation. It’s time to take a step back and put aside any emotional and sentimental connections you may have and continue with an open mind.

• It may be hard but sometimes the best thing for you in the long run could be moving on to bigger (or smaller) pastures.

• Go through your home room by room and gauge how often that room is used, what it is used for and if there are any changes you would or could make to maxi-mize the potential of the space.

• Sometimes simple storage solutions can add to the efficiency of a home as well as making it feel larger. Another tip for making rooms feel bigger is to de-clut-ter items that may have collected during a season. By donating or selling unused items many homeowners are able to find new uses for spaces that were once filled with items collecting dust.

• If you don’t want to get rid of items for sentimental reasons you can also rotate items being displayed in your home every season. This will not only make the spaces feel fresh but with fewer items displayed at once rooms will also feel big-ger.

VICTORIA — From Nov. 21 to April 17, 2016, BC Ferries’ Queen of Cumberland will undergo an $18 mil-lion mid-life upgrade to prepare the vessel for another 20 years of ser-vice.

During the upgrade, service on the Swartz Bay-Southern Gulf Islands Route will be provided by a combi-nation of the Skeena Queen and the Bowen Queen.

The work will be carried out at the Esquimalt Drydocking

Company. Some of the main highlights of the upgrade will include the installation of a new boat deck entrance/exit for walk-on passengers, the installation of a new evacuation system and replacement of the res-cue boat and the instal-lation of a pet area. Other upgrades will also be included.

“A significant upgrade such as the one the Queen of Cum-berland is undergoing allows BC Ferries to operate a more efficient vessel for decades into

the future,” said Mark Wilson, BC Ferries’ Vice President of Engineer-ing. “We are confident that our customers will see positive results and we hope they are pleased with this com-mitment to reliable ser-vice,” he said in a news release.

BC Ferries will be deploying the Skeena Queen on the Swartz Bay-Southern Gulf Islands route during the morning and the late-afternoon periods to better meet expected demand. The vessel

will swap routes with the Bowen Queen dur-ing each weekday.

In order to main-tain capacity levels to and from Salt Spring Island, BC Ferries will be adding sailings to the Swartz Bay-Fulford Harbour and Vesuvius Bay-Crofton routes. Regular sailing times will be adjusted due to the addition of sail-ings and travellers are encouraged to consult the schedules page for exact times at bcferries.com.
