Speakers lined up for four hours Monday night during a public hearing to express their support for, or opposition to, increased housing density and new projects in North Saanich.

North Saanich supports housing change Council sticks to its guns on the divisive issue of increasing housing density and development Steven Heywood News staff

North Saanich Councillor Craig Mearns agrees both sides of the debate over housing do not want to change the atmosphere and culture of their community and says what Monday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public hearing will do is add diversity without a drastic impact. Mayor Alice Finall says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unrealistic to think that the housing developments proposed in North

Saanich will not change the community in a significant way. Mearns and the council majority, Dunstan Browne, Ted Daly and Conny McBride led the voting on seven bylaw and official community plan amendments which will allow increased residential housing density in specific locations within North Craig Mearns Alice Finall Saanich. The result sent the large audience at the Bodine Hall the crowd was clearly in support at the Mary Winspear Centre into of the change. Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public hearing was applause and cheering, as most of

well-attended and many speakers took to the microphone to express their opinions on councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work to designate increased housing densities in two parts of the district â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Canora and Rideau road area and along McDonald Park Road. Both areas have development proposals pending, which could see the construction of up to 164 new units on lots smaller than what has been the norm in North Saanich. The hearing Monday night

included phased development agreements for those projects. Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vote moved them closer to reality. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a reality most of the people at the public hearing want to see happen. A majority of the speakers supported changes to the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regional context statement (RCS) and official community plan (OCP) as well as the development plans.

Peninsula News in brief Fire ban in place

SIDNEY — As of Thursday, campfires and some open fires are banned in all areas of the Coastal Fire Centre (including the Saanich Peninsula). The Centre, based in Parksville, stated the ban is in place to help revent human-caused fires during extreme or high heat in the summer and fall. The ban remains in place until Oct. 15, 2014. Check with local municipalities for local fire regulations. — News staff

Local companies up for CARE Awards SIDNEY — Sidney Architectural Millwork and Cabinets Co. is a finalist in the 2014 Construction Achievements and Renovations of Excellence (CARE) awards of Vancouver Island. Run by the Victorial Residential Builders Association, awards will be handed out in a variety of categories, from People’s Choice to best millwork. The awards gala takes place on Sept. 26.

OCP review could happen next term Continued from page 1

“Up to now, North Saanich has been exclusive,” Mearns said after the hearing. “The average selling price of the average house here is around $700,000, and that excludes people from the community.” Some speakers Monday night, a few of them single parents who work in local industry, said they wanted homes that are more affordable than that. “This housing can be affordable for workers,” said one speaker, an employee of Viking Air who recently bought a home at Canora Mews. “I grew up in Sidney and had to move away to afford property. Now, I was able to get a decent house because of the new development here.” It’s this example that the council majority holds up as housing that’s more affordable in North Saanich — homes at a lower price point, not necessarily government subsidized housing, which Mearns said is a different issue. “I’d like to see more affordable homes,” he said, “but we (the municipality) are part of the problem as we’re charging high amenity fees for these units.” He added it’s a complicated situation, as the district has stated it wants developers to pay for their impact on local infrastructure. Some of the speakers in support of the changes were involved directly or indirectly with development, including members of the Sidney North Saanich Industrial Group which has been urging Peninsula municipalities to find ways of accommodating cheaper housing for their employees — most of whom live in the Western Communities and commute to and from work. Overall, supporters of the changes included a mix of residents and younger people who are looking for the opportunity to live close to where they grew up or work — or be able to stay in North Saanich as they grow older and can no longer take care of their properties. Opponents included members of North Saanich Community Voices, who handed out information before the hearing and tried to mobi-

Mayor Alice Finall (from left) and councillors Ted Daly and Dunstan Browne listen to speakers at a public hearing Monday night at the Mary Winspear Centre.

“It took this council two-and-a-half years. What we are doing is making this a more inclusive community and I’m proud of that.” – Ted Daly lize their camp to support Finall and councillors Celia Stock and Elsie McMurphy (McMurphy was not at the hearing), who have been fighting spot rezoning and the subsequent push for OCP change to allow for increased density. “This is a major turning point in the history of North Saanich,” said Springfield Harrison, a long-time critic of council. He called for a full OCP review — a wish that Mearns said could be granted after the election, should the incumbents win back their seats in November. “If our group were to get re-elected,” he said, “we would have an OCP review. There are a number of issues that need to be dealt with.” Mearns promised the public would be involved but the process would not take

the four years the last OCP took to be created. He added the final decision on an OCP would be the hands of council. Finall said she was pleased so many people attended the hearing, adding there was a lot of effort made to get people to attend. “I think some people felt that there wasn’t much point,” she said. Some speakers at the hearing — on both sides of the issue — asked whether councillors were open to changing their minds. That didn’t happen. Browne said he listened to people but was unmoved. “I have heard nothing that would convince me otherwise,” he said. “This has gone on for nearly all of the time this council term. It’s time to make a decision.” Coun. Conny McBride added minds on both sides of the council table were made up years ago, in a debate that has gone on for much longer. “It’s important for North Saanich to move forward,” she said. “It’s important to have a diverse community.” Coun. Ted Daly said not everyone in North Saanich is against this kind of change.

table tried to use tallies of letters, emails and speakers to back up their positions, but Finall agreed little of that mattered in the end for it all came down to how council would vote. “I don’t see this as a defeat,” she said when asked. “It was in the cards, probably from the beginning of this term.” Finall added she fought for what people wanted her to fight for. Now, she said she feels like there will be more development proposals coming forward and will continue to impact the community. Mearns said the two projects on the books will probably gain some traction after Monday’s public hearing but said other developments will take time. He added the two projects debated Monday probably won’t even break ground for some time. He added he doesn’t think others will come forward to council before the municipal election in November. There are other proposals out there, he said. Including the two already on the books, there are a total of around 520 units being considered at the planning stages. editor@peninsula newsreview.com

“We were elected to do a job,” Daly said, noting the issue goes back 11 or 12 years and has not been rushed by this council or any other. “It took this council two-and-a-half years. What we are doing is making this a more inclusive community and I’m proud of that.” Even Finall and the minority of councillors did not change their positions.

“It was in the cards, probably from the begining of this term.” – Alice Finall “I’m just not buying that any of these projects will lead to affordable or workforce housing,” the mayor said, indicating the lobbying efforts of local industrial businesses in recent years to seek housing for their many employees. “I continue to oppose this.” Coun. Stock added she, too, remained opposed to the bylaw amendments. “My reason hasn’t changed from the very beginning,” Stock said “I’m OK with some development, but this just feels like it’s too much.” Both sides at the council

Food bank short on supplies Unplanned early summer vacation meant there were more kids at home Devon MacKenzie News staff

With an extra two weeks of unplanned summer vacation after teachers in B.C. announced continuing job action, the Sidney Lions Food Bank is sending out a plea for any kind of kid-friendly staples. “We’ve just been going through the basic items like crazy,” explained the food bank’s administrator, Bev Elder. “Because there was the extra two weeks with the kids at home we noticed an increase in usage then and haven’t been able to catch up,” she said, adding that she’s even seen a few teachers using the resource in order to feed their families. Elder said the food bank normally sees a decline in donations this time of year but their client numbers also go down slightly in the summer so it’s usually not an issue. But not this year. “We’re still seeing steady client numbers and we need the same amount of donations that we get at other times of year in order to keep up with the demand,” she explained. A handful of fundraisers

REQUIRED IMMEDIATELY Bev Elder of the Sidney Lions Food Bank is asking the public to lend a helping hand after a larger-than-normal demand by local families for the food bank’s help this summer. over the last month have helped, she said, but cash donations always go to purchasing fresh food because of the food bank’s discount. “We can stretch the dollar value farther so we tend to buy expensive items with cash donations like eggs, milk, cheese, meat and fresh fruit and vegetables,” she said. Right now, Elder said the most important items the food bank is in need of is anything that can stretch a meal

or that can be used as snacks. “Things like canned veg, soup, pasta, peanut butter, snacks for kids, cereal and also personal hygiene items like toilet paper, toothbrushes and toothpaste are all things we’re almost out of,” Elder said. The easiest way to donate, she continued, is to simply drop by food or personal hygiene items to the food bank in Iroquois Park (just past the corner of Fifth Street

and Ocean Avenue) between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. Monday to Friday. “All the large grocery stores on the Saanich Peninsula also have donations bins which get emptied daily so people can drop food there as well,” she said. Those who are unsure of what types of items to purchase can always call Elder at the food bank at 250-655-0679 or visit www.sidneyfoodbank. com to donate online.

B.C. budget surplus $353 million Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. government finished the fiscal year in March with a surplus of $353 million by keeping overall spending growth below one per cent, according to audited public accounts released Tuesday. It’s the first official surplus budget for B.C. since the 2008-09 recession, and a bigger surplus than what was promised by the B.C. Liberal government in last year’s election campaign. Total program spending increased only 0.4 per cent during the year, which Finance Minister Mike de Jong credited mainly to a hiring freeze and restrictions on discretionary spending in ministries.

Health care spending rose $360 million over the previous year, which was more than $500 million lower than the forecast in the government’s post-election budget. Education spending was up $299 million, while spending in natural resource ministries fell $337 million. The province stayed in the black despite taxation revenues coming in $402 million less than the budget forecast. Natural resource revenues to the province exceeded forecasts by $109 million. NDP finance critic Mike Farnworth said the surplus budget was achieved “by picking the pockets of hard-working British Columbians” with higher fees and increases to B.C. Hydro,

ICBC and other rates. Farnworth estimated B.C. residents are paying an extra $300 million a year in such fees, not counting the latest increases to B.C. Hydro and Medical Services Plan rates. De Jong noted that the province’s total debt continues to rise, topping $60.8 billion including debt of B.C. Hydro and other Crown agencies. “We are borrowing to build instead of paying for the groceries,” de Jong said of the additional debt, which includes $3.2 billion for schools, highways, transit and hospitals. B.C.’s debt stands at 18.2 per cent of gross domestic product, about half of the level of Ontario and the federal government’s debt-to-GDP ratio.

OUR VIEW

Don’t wallow in density After all is said and done, how new housing development in North Saanich plays out will be the telling of the tape for one of the community’s most divisive issues in recent history. On Monday, North Saanich council voted into effect changes to its official community plan to allow for increased housing density in two specific areas of the district. On the map, those zones look entirely appropriate for new growth — close to transit, near places of employment, infrastructure is for the most part in place and most importantly, it does not appear to be any different than existing housing right next door. As we have seen with the Canora Mews development, there is a demand for homes that cost significantly less than the North Saanich average (more than $800,000 over the last six months) and are suited to a changing demographic. They do not appear to threaten existing properties or productive agricultural land in the district and meet a variety of housing needs expressed in our communities. Looking ahead, hard feelings left over from this debate will carry into the November municipal election. Let us hope that those feelings do not blind the community to the fact that each elected official acted in what they saw were the best interests of their constituents. The politicians, too, must remember they are at the table by the grace of the electorate. So, while this debate clearly demonstrated deep-seeded division not only on the council but in the community, it must be remembered there is a lot of hard work ahead. Both sides on the housing issue have said they don’t want the character of North Saanich to change. While Monday’s outcome might be hard for some to swallow, to ensure that community goal is maintained, everyone must still use their voice and their vote to ensure that it does. What do you think?

Question

of the week

YOUR VIEW

There’s no excuse for such disrespect I was appalled by the behaviour of many attendees at the public hearing on July 14 into the rezoning of several North Saanich properties. In spite of the mayor requesting no clapping or other expressions from the audience, we got every kind from supporters and opponents. This can be, or is perhaps meant to be, very intimidating and is form of bullying. A public hearing is not a popularity contest, decided by the amount of applause one side receives. It is part of the process of deciding new bylaws and should be conducted in a dignified and civilized fashion, so that council, who have to be open minded at this time, can hear the comments from the public — without being distracted by cat calls. I found the whole environment in the hall extremely toxic and left as soon as I had spoken. I know we are passionate about our politics in North Saanich but that is no excuse to be disrespectful at such meetings. J. Doman North Saanich

Even a glacier is faster Re: What’s the Rush (PNR letters, July 4). Once again a writer who is opposed to any and all development projects in North Saanich has grossly distorted the facts in claiming that councilors Browne, Daly, McBride and Mearns by-passed the OCP and zoning

bylaws. Nothing could be further from the truth. All bylaws follow the same legislated path. There are no provisions for shortcuts without invalidating the process. The developments at McDonald Park and Reay Creek, received first and second readings months ago. It is common practice to receive the third reading after the public hearing and such practice is permitted by legislation. The claims made, that the four above mentioned councillors have somehow circumvented process are, frankly, libelous. Mayor Finall, along with councilors Stock and McMurphy, have consistently voted against residential development and work very hard to be as obstructive as possible to the process, even going so far as lobbying the CRD. Thus, when McMurphy expressed her concern in council over predetermined voting, many of us chuckled over the pot calling the kettle black. I must point out the Reay Creek project has been with the district for a decade. The McDonald Park project has been waiting for six years. For comparison, a comprehensive master plan for Royal Bay, with more than 2,000 homes, moved from committee meetings to public hearing and third reading in less than five months.

we asked you:

It takes police Policing cyclists takes police on the street. Will voters next fall ensure that proper funding is provided? There certainly are some jerks on bicycles. Many of them are wellequipped and fancily dressed — in cars I’d call that the Audi mentality (a noticeable psychographic group recently). At the same time, we should recognize that the cost of dangerous cycling is not the same as from dangerous driving. In most cases the bicyclist hurts only themselves, albeit with B.C.’s medical system all of us pay for treatment of those who live. I’ve stopped caring about them but would rather not get blood on my vehicle. More police on the street would also stop dangerous vehicle drivers. The value of frequent police presence was proven by a dramatic reduction in accidents on the Malahat a few years ago. Without frequent presence the jerks know they have little risk of being caught, so they continue to put others at risk for their own convenience and psychological jollies.

Business fortunes improving says BIA Steven Heywood

from local businesses. McNeil-Smith said most private businesses don’t reveal with figures but their owners are keen to let the BIA know how they are doing, generally. Sidney’s BIA, entering its second year of operation, was established to help market and promote downtown Sidney and all of the events and attractions that bring people to the area. Petrie calls that job delivering a complete experience to visitors and locals alike. “The next phase of the BIA,” said McNeill-Smith, “once the brand identity is established, is aspire to be more, to continue to improve this place.” Part of that is working with Sidney’s mayor’s task force on downtown revitalization. The task force sent more than 40 recommendations to the BIA following a period of surveys and meetings. McNeil-Smith said the BIA executive and board are reviewing them. Asked if they were part of the BIA’s mandate, he said their primary job is to market Sidney and what’s already here. Anything more would be up to the BIA membership to decide.

Province won’t stop Sept. school strike Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. Teachers’ Federation had better not expect an imposed settlement to keep the beginning of the school year from being disrupted, Finance Minister Mike de Jong said Tuesday. Every other sector of the public service has been able to find agreements within the government’s balanced budget mandate, but the teachers’ union might be expecting a legislated settlement as has taken place in the past, de Jong said as he presented the public accounts that show B.C.’s budget balanced

as of this spring. “You cannot send negotiators into a bargaining session with other public sector workers, hammer out agreements that include very modest settlements, and then because another group decides to make a little more noise, provide more, because you are taking from one group in order to satisfy the demands of another within the context of a balanced budget,” de Jong said. The BCTF strike for the last two weeks of June saved the provincial treasury about $12 million a day, while year-end studies and exams were disrupted.

The two sides haven’t communicated since early July, when B.C. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Kelleher said they are too far apart for mediation to be effective. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the BCTF has to reduce its demands, in particular improved benefits he said represent an additional $225 million a year. Those include increases to preparation time, pregnancy and parental leave,

extended health and dental care and substitute teacher compensation. — Black Press

There are a lot of positive signs for small business in downtown Sidney, says Cliff McNeil-Smith. The president of the Sidney Business Improvement Area Society (SBIAS), or Sidney BIA, says much of the feedback they are getting from owners is that business is improving — not to a point prior to 2008, but certainly better than last year. “We are seeing changes to the positive here,” he said in an interview. There are still significant concerns, he continued, such as current storefront vacancy rates, but the trend so far over the late spring and summer is a lot more positive. Donna Petrie, the BIA’s executive director and Town of Sidney event co-ordinator, added a strong indicator that the local economy is on the mend is with hotel numbers. “They are doing well,” she said, “based on revenue per available rooms.” Both McNeil-Smith and Petrie note that their local economy prognosis is based on mostly anecdotal evidence

Peninsula Gallery hosting IceBear next weekend

Mountain Dreams musical theatre summer camp class will present A (not) S.A.D Musical Extravaganza tonight, Friday, July 18 at 7 p.m. at the Mary Winspear Centre. For more information visit www.marywinspear.ca.

SIDNEY — Peninsula Gallery will be hosting artist IceBear (Chris Johnson) next weekend for an “Art Encounter.” IceBear will be at the gallery (100-2506 Beacon Ave.) from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, July 26, to meet art lovers and demonstrate his technique on hand detailing of prints. IceBear’s work spans the gamut from representational landscapes to contemporary threedimensional graphic sculptures.

“His First Nations ancestry is the inspiration and foundation for the thoughtful and often deeply spiritual undercurrent to each piece,” said Peninsula Gallery owner Vivian Chen. IceBear worked hard last summer and fall to give life back to two murals he created in Sidney almost two decades ago, one near the intersection of Resthaven Drive and Beacon Avenue and one on First Street in Sidney.

Doll display a big draw More visitors and more donations in June

SIDNEY — More than 1,100 visitors went through the doors of the Sidney Museum on Beacon Avenue in June. Peter Wainwright, museum executive director, says for the first time they recorded visitors through their annual Best Loved Dolls of the Past 100 Years exhibit. “It has proven to be very popular,” he said. “The museum recorded 1,179 visitors in June. This compares with an average of 477 people for June from 2003 to 2013.” Donations at the door were also up significantly — $1,876 compared with a previous June average of $457. Wainwright added visitors were 70 per cent local and 39 per cent from other parts of Greater Victoria. Those numbers, he clarified, do not include the LEGO exhibit during Family Day. “A typical month sees about 20 per cent of visitors coming from Greater Victoria other than the Peninsula,” he added.

That jumps to 37 per cent for the LEGO display. “From this we conclude that the exhibit is drawing people from throughout Greater Victoria and farther,” said Wainwright. “As an example, a doll collectors’ club from Nanaimo organized a three-car convoy to bring its members to see the exhibit.” The Museum, he continued, is already making plans for another doll exhibit in 2015, and hopefully an ongoing one into the foreseeable future. “Several doll collectors’ clubs have expressed interest in contributing to the show,” he said. “There has also been some interest in showing a collection of Japanese dolls from our sister city, Niimi. There does not appear to be any shortage of material so we expect that each year will see a significantly different exhibit.” The Sidney Museum is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. Its current doll exhibit runs to the end of July. In August, there will be a display featuring the theme of the 100th anniversary of the Sidney VolunSteven Heywood/ News staff teer Fire Department.

We will drive Q50s from the south of England, through the Euro Tunnel and on to Spa. Immediately prior to the race weekend, yours truly will join international journalists in a behind-the-scenes visit to the team’s UK base in Milton Keynes. There we will learn something about the fast track work they carry out on the F1 cars. I suspect we will get a peek at what is in store for that car on your driveway and you will read about it here. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

201 3

Even if you squint while looking at the Hybrid gas-electric car on your driveway, you likely have a hard time imagining it is anything like an F1 racecar. However, the new advanced hybrid technology at play in this 2014 season means that Formula 1 has never been closer to your driveway. The car power units are 1600cc turbocharged V6 engines with direct fuel injection. They have to complete each race with 35 per cent less fuel, with a maximum fuel load of 100kg (not litres) and the fuel flow is restricted to 100 kg/hour. That would mean your favourite driver would bow out half way through without further engineering help. In addition, the power units have two electric motors, one linked directly to the turbocharger, the other working in the same way that the Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS) used to do. The result is a combined maximum power output of around 760bhp, which is similar to the output of the V8 cars of last year. It is a certainty that the rapid-fire experimentation that is going on in F1 will result in improvements to our everyday cars. That’s the beauty of this highly competitive sport that is so geared to winning. Changes come faster because there’s no chance to undertake testing that takes ages

under normal testing. Last year, when I visited the Monaco Grand Prix as a guest of the Infiniti-Red Bull F1 race team, I chatted to Infiniti engineers who marvelled at the pace of improvement. Said one Infiniti engineer: “They do things so much more quickly than we can do under normal development processes because they have to. And the changes they make are so thoroughly tested on the track. It points two ways: sometimes what they do shows us the way to go but also the way not to go!” Hong Kong-based Infiniti has made a very shrewd move in tying itself to the F1 team and particularly the reigning F1 champion Sebastian Vettel. The German racer is the marque’s Director of Performance. His association goes far beyond the typical celebrity endorsement, for he takes on a literal hands-on-the-wheel approach to his role. He has played a significant role in the development of the compact Q30, which should surface later next year. He has already left his mark on the all-new Infiniti Q50 sport sedan and sports car enthusiasts pray a

NEWS REVIEW

What do you get when you combine the world’s best-selling zero emission vehicle with innovative paint technology that repels mud, rain and everyday dirt? Answer: a Nissan LEAF electric vehicle that might just be “the world’s cleanest car.” Created to demonstrate its potential use in future production vehicles, this LEAF’s exterior was treated with a specially engineered paint that is designed to repel water and oils. The “self-cleaning” paint, called Ultra-Ever Dry, creates a protective layer of air between the paint and environment, effectively stopping standing water and road spray from creating dirty marks on the LEAF’s surface. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Clean car

Drives-U-Crazy ... Stop signs

Stop signs mean stop now, not eventually. There’s little that’s more scary when you are moving briskly along a major city arterial route than to be confronted suddenly by a car rolling at a clip over a stop line from a side road on the right. The driver knows whether the car is going to stop before entering the highway. I don’t because I’m not a mind reader. What drives-u-crazy? keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

there is less fanfare around the fact that it actually exists and more excitement about how it performs. The bigger question is with so many small luxury SUVs entering the market, is the Macan worth the $54,300 to get a base model or $82,200 for the turbo?

Looks The Macan uses same platform as the Audi Q5, a Volkswagen Group sibling, but features an entirely different body shell and engine options. The most striking design element is the wide hood that folds over the side of the front fenders, making a seamless, wide stance that is impressive. The hood actually has cutouts for the headlamps and weighs only 17kg. “Side Blades” decorate the lower body of the Macan and can be ordered in black, a matching body colour or carbon fibre. The back end of the Macan is particularly sleek and tidy, the taillights wrap around from the side and into the tailgate with precession. It’s the lack of a trunk release that makes the design so pleasing. Instead, a small button on the base of the windshield wiper that electronically releases the power tailgate. Below the tailgate four exhaust tips tell passersby that this is a powerful machine. Inside What the Macan has over the Q5 is a level of interior refinement that is almost unmatched in the car business. It’s finished with fine leather

and a simple design that makes interacting with this SUV a joy. There are several drawbacks though. The cargo area is long but the rake of the rear window limits taking larger objects inside the car. The back seat I find too small for a family of four people. Since I own a Cayenne, I have a great perspective on the amount of room this Macan offers. Legroom is obviously tighter, headroom is just okay, it is the lack of space side-to-side that I find limiting. The Cayenne is a perfect family choice, the Macan I believe is suited for a single person or active professional couple. Not to say it couldn’t be use for family duty, it just wouldn’t be my choice.

Drive

The launch of the Macan in California provided a route that carved through the mountains outside of Los Angeles on the way to Willow Springs racetrack. Porsche always holds its events at a racecourse, proof that they believe they have something in this new SUV. There might be some confusion surrounding the naming of this car. Both the Macan S and Macan Turbo come fitted with a V6 turbo. The base model is a 3.0L V6 with 340hp. The “Turbo” gets a larger 3.6L V6 with a higher output turbocharger and is rated at 400hp. The base model would be my choice. Driving in back country roads the power was fantastic and the additional money could be spent upgrad-

ing the suspension from the base steel springs to steel with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) that allows the driver to set the firmness of the ride. This upgrade was noticeable on the track. The Turbo comes standard with this setup but the added power and expense was only really noticeable when the Macan was pushed very hard around the racetrack. For regular commuting the S is just fine.

Verdict I love the way the Macan looks, the interior is wonderful and the handling can be very sporty if the buyer chooses. Here is the issue: the Macan can get very expensive in a hurry. All of the cars I drove in California were over $100,000 with features like PASM, additional air suspension and sport-chrono settings for the 7-speed duel clutch automatic. When I configure a base S with the features I would want like navigation, PASM, front and rear parking sensors, bigger wheels, Bose stereo and a few other odds and ends, comes to almost $75,000, never mind the $82,200 starting price of the Turbo. Having recently driven the spectacular Audi SQ5, from which this car is based, that 354hp rocket is a bargain at $60,000, almost fully equipped. I like the Macan, and they will sell every one to people who want to have the latest, but I think the pricing structure is a bit over the top. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Peninsula athletes headed for B.C. Summer Games Devon MacKenzie News staff

Over a dozen young athletes from the Saanich Peninsula are headed to the B.C. Summer Games which kick off in Nanaimo on Thursday. Finn Battersby, an athlete with Peninsula Track and Field Club, is headed to the games with two other Pen Track members, Ben Sammons and Brennan Hopkins, to compete against athletes from all over the province. “I know I’m definitely looking forward to heading there,” said Battersby, who competes in his event, the 1500m steeplechase, on Saturday. “A highlight will be the fact that a lot of us will be competing as a team for the first time rather than competing against each other which will be awesome.”

Battersby, who starts Grade 9 at Parkland Secondary in September, was a wild card in the games qualifications, meaning he was selected after qualifications based on his qualifying placements and age. “I’m turning 14 so to qualify as a younger athlete is great,” he said. Sammons will be competing in the pentathlon event and Hopkins will take on the 100m hurdles. Other athletes from the Saanich Peninsula will compete in various events over the weekend including basketball, rowing, lacrosse, softball, rugby and swimming. The games wrap up on Sunday, July 20.

What will set your home apart from amongst the many houses for sale in the local market? That’s a question Carrell-Ayne Whalen will ask her clients after they’ve sought her out to help stage their home while the for sale sign is posted outside. Whalen owns Simply Staged To Sell (www.simplystagedtosell.ca), based out of her own home in Sidney. Her job is to assist people with a makeover of their homes once they are on the market. Staging rooms for show is a lot different than interior decorating, she says, and serves a much different purpose. “Staging is designed to help sell a home,” she explains. “It removes those extreme personal touches and decor (such as a sword collection mounted on a wall) that can distract potential buyers.” The goal, she continues, is to get people to see how the home looks when it’s lived-in and how their own furniture will look in the same space. Interior decorating, Whalen adds is the act of putting a personal touch on a home’s decor — generally what happens after someone moves in. That’s the main difference between

Steven Heywood/News staff

Carrell-Ayne Whalen of Sidney stages homes for people looking to sell or who just want to spruce up their living space. the two styles. Whalen says she works with her clients on staging the main rooms — living, dining, kitchen and master bedroom. The rest must be neat and tidy, she adds. Those are the rooms where potential buyers do the most visualizing of how their new home might look. To make it happen, Whalen works with what people have and within their budgets, rather than simply opting for rental furniture. Often

“My dad was a follower of the Dale Carnegie method and always told me no matter what I do in life, make sure other people are as important as you are. Really listen. Only then can you help others.” At work in the field for four years, Whalen approaches each home with a main focus: accentuate the positive and camouflage the negative. Then look to the details to help set a room, and a house, apart from the rest.

that’s out of reach for seniors and others who do not have those kind of resources or storage space for their own stuff. The key, in the end, is to create a welcoming space. With a background in personal shopping for major department stores and 15 years in the antique business, Whalen has some unique approaches to staging homes. “I have that experience in antiques but more importantly, I have a business background.
