Sidney says no to traffic change on Beacon Beacon Avenue will remain a mixed-direction street after survey results revealed little support for change Steven Heywood News staff

Traffic along Sidney’s Beacon Avenue is not going to change. Ending a long public consultation process, town council voted

Monday to maintain the current mixed traffic direction on the downtown street. Approximately a year ago, a study of local streets and traffic patterns contracted by the municipality, suggested more work be

put into whether Beacon should maintain its mixed one-and-twoway flows or be made into a full two-way street as it was prior to 1997. Beacon Avenue is two-way from the highway to Fifth Street.

It becomes one-way heading east from Fifth to Second streets before returning to a two-way route again to the east of First Street. A group of business owners, led by Denis Paquette, formed the Sidney Traffic (later changed to Tour-

ism) Improvement Group (STIG) and started the conversation on changing the street back to a twoway pattern. PLEASE SEE: Beacon process set, page 4

that reported on how the student body from Bayside, Stelly’s, Parkland Secondary and North Saanich Middle School interacted with each other. This year, Underwood is organizing her first two-day workshop on bullying prevention with Grade 6 to 8 students at Bayside. “I feel Kristal should win a Hearts award because she has so much to offer to her community,” said Tabita Mark, one of her nominators. “She is a great inspiration to her peers and respected by our First Nation elders.” Underwood said she believes in volunteering because of what she gets back in return. — News staff

them with dignity and respect.” Underwood didn’t stop at middle school. When moving up to Stelly’s Secondary, she petitioned her peers to ask the school to teach the Saanich First Nation language (SENCOTEN) to students in Grades 9 to 12. She was successful and would later be asked to give a speech in the SENCOTEN language at the Strength of Woman conference at the University of Victoria. A volunteer tutor of Grade 6 students, Underwood — who was only in Grade 8 at the time — offered her support twice a week. She has been involved in students leadership groups at Bayside and participated in anti-bullying programs

said this extra public consultation effectively delayed other street work the Town had planned. “It may cost us time to do those street improvements for the business people in Town,” Price said. “We’ve set ourselves back a long way in promoting our own town.” Mayor Larry Cross said he was pleased the question of Beacon Avenue traffic went to the public. “There are issues,” he said, “and we don’t want to minimize those concerns.” One of those, he continued, is the use of two ‘Do Not Enter’ signs that some business owners feel is directing people away from the downtown core. Council voted not to take further action on traffic change on Beacon and vowed to use the survey results in any discussion regarding planning in the downtown and waterfront area. The survey results will be posted to the Town’s website, www. sidney.ca.

Issues of trucks being able to load and unload without disrupting traffic were top of mind, said Lougher-Goodey. He noted that making Beacon fully two way would have meant no left turns and fewer parking spots, not to mention “the minor inconvenience of cost.” Town estimates placed turning the three-block section of one-way street into two-way would have cost around $250,000. L o u g h e r - G o o d e y, despite his overall opposition to changing Beacon’s traffic flow, noted that 21 per cent of business owners stated in the survey they strongly oppose Beacon remaining a one-way street in those three blocks. LougherGoodey said with nearly one-third of local businesses opposed to that, he thinks it will still be an issue in years to come. Coun. Steve Price

HEARTS OF THE COMMUNITY AWARDS 2014 SAGE BROOMFIELD

Teen creates a sense of community for her peers Devon MacKenzie

Ardena Simpson Hearts of the Community Scholarship

News staff

The Ardena Simpson Hearts of the Community Scholarship was started in 2002 by Simpson’s family after she died. Simpson was a nurse with a distinguished career that included working at the Mayo Clinic and as Director of Nursing at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Victoria. The $1,000 scholarship is given annually to a youth volunteer on the Peninsula.

reating an environment of inclusion, caring and community is what Sage Broomfield has done for students at Claremont Secondary. The Grade 11 student has been instrumental in the creation of School District 63’s first Best Buddies program — an international organization whose mission is to establish a global volunteer movement that creates opportunities for friendships and leadership development for people with disabilities. She got involved with the program during her first year at Claremont in Grade 9 and has since grown the program significantly. “As soon as Sage saw the opportunity she stepped forward,” explained Randy Stetson, an integration support teacher at Claremont and one of Sage’s nominators. “We were able to match five special needs students with peer buddies in that first year and established a caring community in the school with 12 peer buddies who met, got to know, greeted in class and in the halls and attended community activities with special needs students.” After her first year of being involved with the program, Broomfield attended the Best Buddies Leadership convention in Vancouver to get ideas on how group members’ experiences could be improved and enhanced. Now in its third year, the Best Buddies chapter has grown to include 10 buddies with increasingly complex needs and over 20 peer buddies. “Not only is Sage an outstanding role model but she also handles the organizational responsibilities of the group,” added Stetson. As well as being involved with the Best Buddies group, Broomfield is also involved with Claremont’s student government and Key Club, as well as Free the Children and African Grandmothers. “If you ask for help she just comes with you, no questions asked,” said teacher sponsor of the Claremont Key Club, Ruth Wadsworth. Broomfield said she enjoys volunteering

Sage Broomfield was the recipient of the Outstanding Youth Volunteer Award and a $1,000 scholarship. her time because of the connections she makes and the feeling it gives her. “Volunteering is such a positive way to spend your time and I have learned so much, made so many special connections, met so many amazing people and cemented lifelong skills while doing it,” she said. Special needs support teacher Stephanie Riedstra, sums up Broomfield’s impact on the Claremont community. “Sage has an incredible ability to bring people together,” Riedstra said. “She is so warm and genuine that she connects with everyone. You always know she can bridge that awkward moment to make people comfortable and diffuse a difficult situation. In the halls, in the classrooms and in the community, Sage’s presence makes it possible for everyone to feel good about being together.” Broomfield was given the Outstanding Youth Volunteer Award and the $1,000 Ardena Simpson Hearts of the Community Scholarship during Tuesday’s Hearts of the Community Awards ceremony.

HEARTS OF THE COMMUNITY AWARDS 2014 SIDNEY VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT

Firefighters giving so much

hey are involved in food drives, fundraisers, school and adult education programs, tours, community events and parades. Oh, and they also put out fires, rescue people in trouble and generally run towards danger when most people would go the other way. Members of the Sidney Volunteer Fire Department were recognized for their dedication to the community with a Hearts award on Feb. 25. “The Sidney firefighters have been volunteering their time and putting their lives on the line for the community for 100 years,” wrote Jim Tweedhope, the fire Chief, in his nomination form. Of course, he’s not the only one singing their praises as the department celebrates its centennial in 2014. “They keep our community safe,” added nominator Cheryl Young. “(Volunteering) is a way to give back

to the community,” added Debbie Fowler. “If we did not have volunteers, our community would not be the great place it is today.” As Sidney grew from 600 people in 1914 to more than 11,000 today, the fire department grew right alongside and adjusted its equipment, training and membership to ensure people’s safety — from fire prevention activities and rescue services, to emergency medical services. Volunteers with the department sacrifice time with friends and family when they train and are called out in times of emergency. This shows they are willing to give of more than just their time to help ensure the overall safety of their community. “Without volunteers,” said Tweedhope, “there are many important services that the community would do without. Firefighting is only one.” — News staff

Banner year for fire station council nEWS

Town of Sidney - Mon., Feb. 24 Steven Heywood News staff

• Banners will be going up in the Town of Sidney this spring, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Sidney Volunteer Fire Department. The Town selected the Sidney Fire 100 Year Committee for the 2014 Downtown Banner program. The Committee plans to sell banner sponsorships to the business community, helping raise money for their anniversary plans this summer. • Mayor Larry Cross said he doesn’t expect “spectacular change” in the Capital Regional District’s Transportation Plan, but the town will review it in any case. “The challenge is for us in the outer areas is that the demand is large,” Cross said. “We are always demanding that there are adequate transit services out on the Peninsula.” The draft Regional Transportation Plan sets out proposed plans and developments for the next 25 years. • Sidney will hire Insituform Tech-

nologies Ltd. to extend the life of the Town’s sewer pipes. For $124,209.97, the company plans to use curedin-place lining in the pipes, using a trenchless construction method — meaning roads won’t have to be dug up. The work should give the sewer lines 40 to 50 years of extra life. • Council backed an Advisory Planning Commission recommendation to favour a new design for the proposed Anacortes Ferry terminal toll booth replacement. The Commission selected option B after proponents were asked to redesign the structure following neighbour complaints. The proposed design and other options will go to a public open house for feedback. Watch the PNR or ww.sidney.ca for dates and times. • The Advisory Planning Commission also recommended approval of a rezoning request at 9651 Third St. to allow the subdivision of the existing property. On it would be developed four, small lot, single family homes. The Commission laid out a series of conditions to the developer first, including a landscaping deposit, offsite works and neighbour notification. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

OUR VIEW

Passions formed at a young age

f the amount of teenagers represented in this year’s Hearts of the Community volunteer awards is representative of the commitment of young people, then the Saanich Peninsula has a lot to cheer for. Volunteers of all ages and walks of life took centre stage at the 16th annual Hearts of the Community Volunteer Awards this week, sponsored by Beacon Community Services and the Peninsula News Review. Six would win the coveted honours and there were 20 people nominated in all. The volunteer There is hope work being done on the Peninsula for the future of is wide-ranging volunteerism and almost immeasurable in value. While it might be hard to quantify those efforts, we all would certainly feel the impact if there were suddenly a lot fewer volunteers. Behind the scenes of most of our community events, workshops, fundraisers and social evenings, are volunteers. They are the willing folks who step up when other sources of funding or organization are left wanting. If they did not do it, we would have to do without some of the extra that the Peninsula enjoys in its spare time. That’s why it’s refreshing to see seven of the 20 nominations were youth who are already making a difference among their peers. Three of them won awards this year — and the nomination committee (which the PNR is part of) had a heck of a time deciding the finalists. It’s testament to the good work being done by teens in our community. It also shows that there is hope for the future of volunteerism in the face of struggles to entice people to give of their spare time. Volunteer burnout is a very real thing and to keep events humming right along, new blood is needed to maintain that overall passion for making the Peninsula a better place to live, work and play. Becoming active volunteers today bodes well for the day that these youth embark on their careers, build their lives either here or abroad, and have in their hearts the spirit and willingness to volunteer for an activity or cause they feel passionate about.

Question

of the week

YOUR VIEW

We may have to fight for an open process It is hard to believe attracting tourists to Sidney and the associated economic benefits they bring, is a priority for this council. If it was, they would not be seriously considering the proposed condo development on the town’s last remaining piece of undeveloped waterfront (Seaport East). This is extremely valuable property, not just in raw land value but in what a suitably developed waterfront could do to showcase our town. This potential is recognized and envisioned in the Local Area Plan. It is very disconcerting that approximately five years after approving this plan, council is ignoring this plan’s vision for our waterfront. The developer’s open house was nothing short of a dismissive effort towards obtaining public input on their application for a zoning amendment. If this is any indication on how future information and public input will be handled then I have my reservations that we will get the open process and opportunities for input that the mayor alludes to, without a fight.

the Point of a report on a Report? I would respectfully like to correct Mr. Trelford’s interpretation regarding the events at the Feb. 3 council meeting in which Mr. Spring Harrison was denied the opportunity to present his findings. First of all, Dr. Smith is an esteemed professor at UVic’s school of business and not a reporter. Secondly, Mr. Harrison was attempting to present Dr. Smith’s critique of the consultant’s report which has been considered by many North Saanich residents to be highly biased and, therefore, of little value. Thirdly, Dr. Smith’s final remarks were worded in strong language, in that he said “In my opinion, the convenience nature of the sample, and significant limitations in the question wording and measurement scales (answer choices) in this particular survey warrants significant caution in making key administrative or policy decisions based on the results of this survey.” What has bothered those who believe a well planned and informed housing implementation policy be based on a survey that everyone could accept, is that it has now been based on this very flawed survey. Apparently this was the wish of the majority of the councillors who voted to silence Mr. Harrison. L. Wingate North Saanich

Last Week

we asked you:

Selective protocol Re: Delegations for New Council Issues Only, PNR, Feb. 20. What was learned from Councillor Mearns’ recent letter was that he now believes my request to make a presentation on Feb. 3 was inappropriately placed on the agenda. However, not once during the deliberation, did he, in supporting councillor Daly’s motion, make any objections about meeting protocol while at the same time, removing me from the agenda. As those who view the webcast will see, Mr. Mearns and his compatriots only complained about the presenter, not the placement on the agenda or the topic of the presentation. Interestingly, at a council meeting on April 2, 2012, John Upward was placed on the agenda under the same section — Petitions and Delegations. It was a presentation from an individual and contained no new information. Neither Mr. Mearns nor his colleagues complained about breaches of protocol then. Mr. Mearns’ letter is a disgraceful attempt to pass off an assault upon freedom of speech as a new appeal, after the fact, to “meeting protocol”. Springfield Harrison North Saanich

NEWS REVIEW

Welcome to the driver’s seat

Can Toyota’s Tundra ride alongside heavyweight brands like Ford, GM or Ram?

Tugging at the tails of top selling trucks If there is one segment of the auto business that takes dynamite to get people to change brands, it’s the full-size pickup truck category, I’m sure most of us know of someone who is a “Ford guy” or The Tundra is “Chevy diehard” owner, even as capable as and getting him or her to move to a new many of the domestic truck would be almost brands but in some impossible. ways it still has a way It wasn’t until the last to go to truly be an Toyota Tundra was introduced in 2007 that alternative to Ford, Toyota was a real conGM and Ram. tender. That 2007 Tundra and this refreshed 2014 Zack Spencer model are designed, engineered and even built in America, helping to pull loyal domestic buyers away. The Tundra is even as capable as many of the domestic brands but in some ways it still has a way to go to truly be an alternative to Ford, GM and Ram.

‘‘

’

is a step up from the lower trims but not nearly as supple and luxurious as the new batch of interiors from Ram and GM. Those trucks, in particular, have almost luxury-sedan interiors that make the driver forget they are in a truck. The Tundra, in comparison, is a bit stark, featuring a hard, simple plastic dash and door pieces that don’t compare. The centre screen is smaller than many competitors are, and the screen embedded in the instrument cluster is small. What has been improved is the overall layout of the centre console. The back seat is massive and flips up with just one hand to make room for interior storage. I found the last Tundra to have a very high seating position that limited headroom. This new 2014 seems to have a better seating position, no longer crimping headroom for taller drivers. Drive Powering the Tundra are two V8 gasoline engines. The base model has a 4.6L V8 with 310hp and 327 lb.-ft. of torque. The larger 5.7L has 381hp and 401 lb.-ft. of torque. This is one area that the Toyota cannot compete; there is no V6 offered and no diesel (Ram only), which the domestic makers do offer. By limiting the available engine options and not having a heavy-duty model that will certainly diminish the

number of domestic buyers willing to give Tundra a try. On the road, I was surprised at just how rough the ride is in comparison to the all-new GM trucks, which really are like driving a big sedan. I would also place the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 a very close second in ride comfort. The Tundra is choppy on rough roads and the noise level is on the high side. Toyota claims to have improved ride quality on this refreshed 2014 model but I am not a fan of the ride. Verdict The Tundra is a capable truck. When equipped it can tow up to 4760 kg, which is on the high side in this class. What surprised me the most was the real “trucky” ride. I have had extensive seat time in all three domestic brands over the past year and I have to say that they are best sellers for a reason – the refinement is rather dramatic. The Lowdown Power: 4.6L V8 with 310hp or 5.7L V8 with 381hp Fill-up: 15.8L/11.0L/100km (city/highway 5.6L) Sticker price: $26,750-$54,000 zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Looks As part of the 2014 redesign, Toyota went about setting up a slightly different look for each of its trim levels. Sold as an SR5, Limited and Platinum, each has a variation of the oversized front grille. The wheel openings are now larger and squarer, framing wheel sizes ranging from 18-inches on the SR5 and Limited and 20-inches on the Platinum. The Tailgate has a soft open feature, stopping it from slamming down, that is fantastic but there is no side step or ladder into the bed the way Ford and the new GM trucks have. Sold as a regular car, double cab or Crew Cab, there is a model for most buyers. Inside Just as the outside was redesigned to have a unique character for each trim, the inside mimics this idea. The Platinum model I tested is covered with a diamond pattern, or quilted look used on the leather seatbacks, side door inserts and dash front panel. It

YOUR HEALTH President’s own story: 15 years ago I started to have arthritis, prostate, kidney, snoring and sleep apnea problems, which were all helped quickly with natural health products. I made it my life’s purpose to help others. Nick A. Jerch

Prevent COLDS & FLUS

NPN 80036946. To helps immune function. The only cold medicine with a money-back guarantee. Four medical doctors that wrote in their book SHARK LIVER OIL that you can prevent colds and flus. Dr. Hubert wrote since his own highschool age children took shark liver oil they have no more colds. Dr. Haimes’s grandchildren have been taking shark liver oil for 6 months and he writes they have no more infection of any kind. Read many testimonials on the Bell website: “I had 3-4 flus every winter. None last 5 years.” “Amazing! All of us have no more colds.” “No more asthma, no puffer, no cold, no flus, changed my life”. In North America this is a by-product from the restaurant industry. No sharks are caught for their liver or their cartilage. < No more colds, also my eczema disappeared! Last 2 years I would get colds often due to stress as I am an athlete and body builder. After starting Bell Shark Liver Oil #51 I had no more colds or even a sign of a cold. Dennis Tudos, 23, Kent, WA

Volvo: Circling the wagon Volvo is hitching some of its revival hopes to a wagon – the 2015 Volvo V60 Sportswagon. Its grille is clearly all-Volvo but those typically boxy looks that characterized the make from your dad’s day are gone. In looks it’s a design variation of the S60 sedan and it will be a welcome sight for loyalists of the Swedish brand, having witnessed the demise here of the V50 and midsize V70 wagons. The wagon was featured recently along with the S60 and XC60 crossover at a launch event in the Nevada desert. The Volvo execs present proudly talked about their new Drive-E powertrains, developed thanks to the megabucks available now that the company is owned by the Chinese Geely Automotive. Ford ownership may now be retreating in Volvo’s rearview mirror but it is still beholden to the US manufacturer for the platforms upon which these three 2015 models ride. That will change later this year when the full-size XC90 crossover is set to sit atop Volvo’s so-called Scalable Product Architecture platform. Model year 2014 saw a refresh of all three midsize Volvo models showing in the desert so this was truly about the new engines. The Drive-E family of gas, diesel and hybrid (the latter not yet, but soon) engines are built around a single, 2.0-litre four-cylinder powerplant. It’s a brave gamble, worthy of Vegas, when you ponder the XC90 relying on such a small engine. Asked if this were a safe bet, the Swedes just smiled and promised

the performance of the four-cylinder configuration will equal their big brothers by using such technologies as direct fuel injection, turbocharging, supercharging and . . . electrification. Here in the Great White North, just the two gas engines will be offered initially – the new turbocharged T5 pumps out 240 horsepower, while the turbo’ed and supercharged T6 adds another 62 horses. For now, only that pair of four-cylinder Drive-E gasoline engines will initially be offered in Canada. The base front-wheel-drive V60 T5, with a new eightspeed automatic transmission, will set you back $39,800. Volvos have never been cheap. The other three Sportswagons will continue to use existing powerplants, six-speed automatic transmissions and Haldex all-wheel-drive systems. However, I got much more seat time in the V60 and S60 (S60 with T5 $37,750. T6 $42,850), taking in the awe-inspiring beauty of the Valley of Fire state park and Red Rock Canyon. The T5-equipped wagon is a smooth operator in perfor-

mance and ride. And while you won’t burn rubber at the green light, it will take off when necessary . . . not that we got any chance to pass in the low speed limit state park. Volvo says it will hit 100 km/h in 6.3 seconds if given the lead foot treatment. (The T6 in sedan tells a slightly racier story. OK, maybe I’m exaggerating but only a little and I look forward pressing the pedal to the metal where I can legally do so.) The T5 fuel economy ratings fare well in comparison with the market competition – 9.4/6.3/8.1 L/100km (city/hwy/combined). These numbers are squeezed out of the power plant with the help of the standard engine stop/start system and the efficient new eight-speed transmission, which slips into a neutral coasting mode when you lift your foot off the gas. Inside, the instrument panel stretches the span of the car and features an attractive floating centre console, which mixes good looks with functionality. Swedes are safety conscious, of course, and that means lane change, cross traffic, blind spot warnings and alerts. The front seating is comfortable if a little soft on a long drive. Rear seating ditto and headroom is good despite the coupe-style slope of the rear. A good view of the road fore, aft and side is enjoyed by all. Great stowage room in the rear. The 40/20/40 split second row folds flat to provide enough space to move a small apartment’s furniture. Just kidding but you get the picture. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Lifesaving cold weather fun on four wheels

sideways on an ice track in subzero temperatures. My initial answer is only three letters long and to the point: fun. But that’s only a byproduct of the impetus behind the program that started back in 1977 and is now offered in 35 countries. The main goal is safety. It’s designed to introduce drivers to techniques that might help correct the car if it is not doing what you want it to for whatever reason. For example, if your wheels are pointed in one direction, but your car is going straight ahead, what should you do? That’s called understeer. The instinctual thing to do is keep adding more steering, but that won’t help. Ease off the throttle and try to straighten your wheel so your tires can regain grip.

Learning car control in less than perfect circumstances is … money extremely well spent.

Or, if you feel the back end of the car breaking loose, how do you wrangle it in? You counter-steer and don’t lift off the throttle. It sounds easier said than done, but the techniques do work. Putting yourself and the 435i through the paces in a safe and controlled environment is the best place to learn. If you spin out, you’re not going to go into oncoming traffic. You just stop, turn the car around, and keep going. Heck, if you knock over a few cones, no one will judge you either. It’s all part of the process. There are also dynamic braking exercises that teach you how the car reacts when you have ABS, and what you can do in these conditions. You’ll even learn reverse 180s. Head instructor Philippe Létourneau says, “People learn a lot more when they’re having fun.” I agree. If people walk away from the course with a couple of newly established driving habits that make them overall a safer driver, that’s ideal, he says. However, if your face doesn’t feel stiff from smiling, or your abs don’t hurt from laughing, perhaps you weren’t trying hard enough. alexandra.straub @drivewaybc.ca

The man from BMW once called me a hooker. Surprisingly, I wasn’t that offended. I actually laughed at such a descriptor, as did everyone around me. I didn’t feel so bad because I wasn’t the only one in the group labelled thusly at the brand’s Driver Training; a full day of driving 3 Series sedans (back then) to improve our own car control. I didn’t have too many years of driving experience back then but I unfortunately had picked up a few bad habits on the road. What’s a ‘hooker’ according to the instructors at the German automaker’s training? Someone who hooks his or her hand into the steering wheel when making a turn. It’s a big boo-boo and not an effective way to drive. It’s also totally unsafe should an accident occur in the process. Needless to say, pointing out the ‘hooker’ in me caused me to change my habits for the better. And in the most recent instalment of learning car control with BMW, no such noun was used when relating to my technique. Thank goodness. It’s -15 degrees at the ICAR track in Mirabel, Quebec. The sun is out and there’s a lineup of all-new 435i coupes just begging to be driven. Some are equipped with the brand’s all-wheel drive system. Some are rearwheel drive. Regardless, I’ll have my way with both configurations by the end of the day, so to speak. The adventure is better known as the Winter Driver Training program, offered exclusively at the ICAR location. That said, you don’t need to own a BMW to participate. Learning car control in less than perfect circumstances is available to all who have $795. In my opinion, it’s money extremely well spent. The day starts out with an in-class session that goes over theory. We’ll practice manoeuvres with and without electronic help, to put both power and performance to the test. Oh yeah. You might ask what is the point behind putting one of BMW’s latest products

Where the rubber hits the road matters

Tires are one of the most important features of the truck when it comes to improving its ride. It is vital to make the right choice and then maintain them so they last. Before you choose the best tire for your truck, it is essential to

understand the terms of the truck tire world. Tires for example are specified in this form – 265/75R/16. The first number is the width of the truck tire, the second number is the aspect ratio or height of the sidewall and the

will be fine, but if you go off-roading then you are going to want more tire in between your rim and the ground. That way you will not bottom out on the rims when the tires encounter rough terrain off-road. Wider tires have more con-

third number is the wheel diameter or rim size. The height of your sidewall is important and should be chosen based on the conditions you drive your truck in most often. If you only drive on the street then a low profile truck tire

conditions. The wheel rim width is rounded off to the nearest half inch of the tire. Usually, the best choice is to have the rim width at about 90 percent of the tread width of the tire. The most important safety aspect of maintenance on your truck is to keep its tires intact and in good shape. A blown tire can cause an accident in an instant. The number one cause of the tire wear and tear is incorrect tire pressure. All the tires on the truck should have consistent air pressure to carry the weight equally. Adequate air pressure is important for a good tire life, handling, and traction. Look through your owner’s manual, on the sticker inside the driver’s door, or look on the tire itself to find the correct air pressure that you need to maintain them.

Seasonal changes can affect the air pressure of the tires. Cold temperatures are responsible for dropping the air pressure of the tires, and warm temperatures are responsible for increasing the air pressure. A 10 per cent swing in the temperatures causes a one pound change in the air pressure. Sudden changes in temperature are a good time to check the pressure of the tires. You can reduce the wear and tear by rotating tires often. Rotating keeps the wear balanced and can help in slippery and wet conditions. A simple rule about rotating your tires is to do it on every other oil change. Doing this on a consistent basis, will make the tires last longer and allow a comfortable ride for many, many kilometres. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

tact area with the ground, thus giving your truck a better grip, both on and off road. Your truck’s handling becomes easier because of the bigger tire width. On the other hand, the same wider truck tire will make more noise and may decrease the fuel efficiency of the truck. Wider tires can also slip more when it rains, not that it rains much in Vancouver. The size of the rim is a personal preference. The larger sized rims are popular today. Just make sure that the rim and truck tire you choose will fit inside the wheel well of the truck, and don’t forget to upgrade your brakes to help stop this increase in weight. The wheel rim width varies from truck to truck. It can be custom made to suit both on and off road driving

SPORTS Boulders climbers dominate at SCBC competition

New gym speed record established during last Saturday’s competition at The Boulders Climbing Gym CENTRAL SAANICH — The Sport Climbing Association of British Columbia (SCBC) held a local Difficulty and Speed Competition at The Boulders Climbing Gym last Saturday and local athletes came away with medals and record times to show for their efforts. Czech climber Libor Hroza, who came to Boulders in December to train, set a new gym record of 6.038 seconds last Saturday while winning the Open Male category. Hroza’s time was impressive, as it was just 0.16 seconds off the world record of 5.88 seconds set by Russian climber Evgeniy Vaytsekhovskiy in 2012. It is also the second quickest time posted by Hroza during competition, his best being that of 5.99 seconds that earned him a first place finish at a Speed World Cup event in Arco, Italy in 2013. At just 26 years of age, Hroza is one of the top speed climbers in the world, currently

ranked second behind Stanislav Kokorin of Russia. He had silver medal performances at 2013 Speed World Cup events in Chonqing, China, Perm, Russia and Mokpo, Korea and a third place finish at the 2013 Speed World Cup event in Ekaterinburg, Russia. He also won the 2013 European Speed Climbing Championships in Chamonix, France. Perhaps even more impressive than Hroza’s time Saturday is the influence he is having on other speed climbers that train at The Boulders. All Boulders’ climbers who competed Saturday posted personal best times during the competition and Boulders’ climbers swept gold in 13 of the 15 age categories in the Speed competition. This includes brother and sister duo Robert and Alison Stewart-Patterson of Kamloops. Robert won first in the Junior Male category and in the pro-

Peninsula Track back in March Contributor

Peninsula Track and Field Club will begin its 2014 season in March when enrolment starts for both new and returning members. Although its Masters group athletes have continued their Saturday morning practices throughout the winter with the emphasis on the throwing events, for the younger athletes Spring training will see them return to their running, jumping and throwing as the warm weather returns. While efforts continue in fundraising to replace the aging surface of the current track, the Club will still provide the essential coaching and development services which have started thousands of young Peninsula and Greater Victoria athletes on their road to district, provincial, national and international success over the last 40 years.

The basic cadre of Club coaches will again be leading the training sessions, but the Club will also be looking for additional coaching assistance in sprints, jumps, hurdles and middle distance running for the 9-12 year

old group. For former athletes or adults interested in developing their coaching skills, the Club offers assistance in attending basic instruction courses, as well as mentoring from its experienced coaches in

these disciplines. Enquiries for further information, training schedules, and other details of the Vancouver Island 2014 Track Meets, can be directed to Lesley Foster, Club Registrar, at 250-6565660.

Building a wall to help children play in the park Sidney Lions hoping to raise $70,000 for new playground equipment Steven Heywood News staff

Don’t think of a proposed brick wall at Tulista Park in Sidney as any kind of barrier to family fun. Think of it as a way that new playground equipment can be purchased, helping refurbish the park for the entire community. The Sidney Lions Club is hoping to raise $70,000 to pay for new playground equipment in Tulista Park. The new gear, says Brian Dunic, secretary of the Lions Club, will replace the existing wooden structure with more modern equipment. The plan, he continued, is to build a memorial wall near the playground made of bricks. The Lions hope people will buy a brick (they come in various sizes) in remembrance of a loved one, or with their own name — or with just about any message one can think of — to help build the wall and raise enough money to replace the playground equipment.

Steven Heywood/News staff

Sidney Lions Alyson DesLauriers, Brian Dunic and Bob Orchard at Tulista Park. The club hopes to raise $70,000 to replace outdated playground equipment. The Lions, celebrating their 50th year as a chartered club in 2014, were approached by the Town of Sidney more than two years ago, Dunic said, and asked if they’d be interested in the project. For their 40th anniversary, the Lions replaced another portion of Tulista Park’s playground equipment and it’s still there.

Their goal, said Lion Bob Orchard, is to raise the money and have the work completed by Sidney Days in July. Their plan coincides with the Town’s own plans to fix up the park and playground this year. The new equipment would be accessible and placed on soft and impact-absorbing material on the

ground — much like the surface at the outdoor exercise circuit near the Sidney North Saanich Library. “It will be an anniversary gift for the community,” added Lion Alyson DesLauriers. She said the project will fix up Tulista Park and help keep it a local — and visitor — favourite on the Sidney waterfront.

The brick wall itself, Dunic noted, will be about the height of the existing memorial wall near Sidney’s Bevan Avenue Pier, and just a little longer. The campaign to sell the bricks to build the wall has already started. To get yours, contact Lions Don McIvor at 250652-6207 or Brian Dunic at 250-6551077.

Q: WHY SHOULD I BUY A HOME WITH A MORTGAGE HELPER? Lower your net mortgage cost – Rents can not only help you cover your monthly payments, they can help you qualify for the loan. It can make your home more saleable – If you ensure the suite is well maintained, by working closely with your tenant, it can enhance the value of your home come moving time. Have another set of eyes watching your home – Being on good terms with your tenant can help with security during times when you are away. Pay your mortgage off sooner – Having a regular income stream from a suite can help shorten your amortization period. – Courtesy idealrealty andfinance.com

Suites convince some buyers, not others Is the market full for new homes with suites? Don Descoteau News staff

Building legal suites into new homes has been common practice with local homebuilders in recent years, especially on the West Shore, the region’s hotbed of residential development. But are Greater Victoria home buyers thinking differently these days when it comes to suite shopping? Young families anxious to get into the housing market, or people looking to move up in size or move to a more desirable location continue to seek homes with rental suites constructed to building code standards. On the West Shore, buyers of homes built with suites are more frequently purchasing them with no immediate need for renters, says Realtor Jason Leslie, estimating that number at roughly 50 per cent. “Some people buy a home with a suite as an insurance policy, in case they need the extra income,” he says. Where a dozen or so years ago a legal suite was a trump card for agents – there were relatively few around, but numerous illegal suites – these days Leslie frequently finds himself educating potential buyers on the advantages of a second kitchen, or using the suite as an entertainment centre. Using rental income to

The Berkins built a suite above the garage for Dorman. help with mortgage payments remains the number one reason for choosing a home with a suite, but the way buyers are looking for such homes appears to be changing. Marshall Berkin and his wife, Monique, are clients of Leslie’s who recently moved into their custom-built home on the edge of the Rockland neighbourhood. They were previously living in a 1,200-square-foot condo in Fairfield near the water, where they grew to love the lifestyle the area afforded. Things became

became cramped when the couple had their first child and they began looking for something larger. They looked at homes around the Capital Region, including some “beauti-

ful homes” in North Saanich, but ultimately decided to build, with the idea of including a rental suite for extra income. “Older homes weren’t what we were interested in

… we wanted to buy something new,” Berkin said. “But there’s not a lot of new homes in the downtown core area. It became a tradeoff: do we go to View Royal, do we look at the Western Communities? In the end we decided on Oak Bay or Fairfield.” They could have moved into a ready-made larger, new home further out from the city centre, and not had to go through the hassle of building. But ultimately, they found a way to make it work closer to the region’s core, which better suits their work commitments and their lifestyle. It also worked well for Monique’s mother, who moved into their suite. For buyers who want other options for homes with legal suites, the City of Victoria has led the way in the region in opening up existing housing stock for such projects. City planner Brian Sikstrom says since 2007, when barriers were removed to the creation of new secondary suites – parking requirements and home age restrictions were lifted – more than 200 units have been built. In neighbourhoods such as Fairfield and Gonzales, newer suites can fetch hefty rents, making homes in those areas more affordable. But for those people willing to trade a commute for the opportunity to own a new or near-new home with the option of renting part of it out, communities further from Victoria’s core have plenty of supply.
