Ducks Unlimited event seeks support for its local ecological work Steven Heywood News staff

Sidney council candidates Mervyn Lougher-Goodey and Bob Jones share a laugh during the Nov. 4 forum at the Mary Winspear Centre, hosted by the Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce and Peninsula News Review.

Sidney candidates greet full house Steven Heywood News staff

Following the Sidney all candidates forum at the Mary Winspear Centre Nov. 4, a few of

the people running in this year’s civic election said they were impressed with the large public turnout. It was standing-room only for much of the two-and-ahalf hour session, where voters

were given the opportunity to listen to the 13 candidates for council and mayor of Sidney. While there were no fireworks on stage to speak of, the crowd heard where the candidates

stand on a variety of local issues and see how they responded to a series of written questions. PleaSe See: No fireworks, page 4

The Saanich Fairgrounds will be the site of the annual Ducks Unlimited Canada charity diner and organizers are hoping to beat last year’s $40,000 raised for ecological work in Greater Victoria. Daniel Shnitka, chair of the Saanich committee of DU, says the objective is to fill as many seats as possible and eventually grow to fill the largest hall in the community. “Last year, the donations grew by around 15 per cent,” he said. “We had great support from local businesses.” On Nov. 15, DU welcomes the community to dinner — with room for up to 250 people at the Saanich Fairgrounds. Tickets are being sold in advance and can be found by calling 250-652-6203. The gala event features raffles, entertainment and the silent and live auctions. The dinner raises money to support DU projects in the region — from work in Roberts Bay on the Peninsula, to the protection of a significant portion of the Chemainus River Estuary. Shnitka said last year’s gala was sold out, so he encourages people to get their tickets now — before they’re snapped up. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Nanaimo keeping two ferry terminals Tom Fletcher Black Press

Transportation Minister Todd Stone has backed away from a proposal by B.C. Ferries that it should consolidate its two Nanaimo ferry terminals, after objections from B.C. Liberal MLAs on both sides of the route. Stone said Tuesday that B.C. Ferries should consider whether it still needs both ferry terminals at Nanaimo. B.C. Ferries calculates that its Nanaimo runs have higher costs and lower ridership than the main

Tsawwassen-Swartz Bay run. But on Wednesday, Stone ruled out that possibility. “I indicated yesterday that while we weren’t endorsing or supporting the idea, it may be worthy of consideration,” Stone said by phone from Regina Wednesday. “Over the last 24 hours, I’ve had some very good conversations with my Island colleagues, Don McRae (Comox Valley) and Michelle Stilwell (Parksville-Qualicum) as well as my pariliamentary secretary

Jordan Sturdy (West Vancouver-Sea to Sky). They’ve made some very strong and eloquent arguments to me that they don’t believe closing one of the two terminals at Nanaimo would be a good thing, not just for the economy of Nanaimo, but potentially the economy of the mid-Island.” However, the completion of the South Fraser Perimeter Road through Delta and expensive refits required at the Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal in North Vancouver could result in a shift

of some mainland-toNanaimo ferry traffic to the Tsawwassen terminal in the coming years. B.C. Ferries has released a new major route strategy that proposes ending the Horseshoe Bay-Nanaimo run and putting the traffic on the Tsawwassen-Duke Point route, which has had sailings cut due to low usage. Stone also ruled out B.C. Ferries’ suggestion to consider a passenger-only ferry from Departure Bay in downtown Nanaimo to Horseshoe Bay. — Black Press

No fireworks but plenty of talk Continued from page 1

The candidates were hit with some tough questions on topics that extend outside of the municipality’s jurisdiction. The first question asked was how they would ensure Sidney has a diverse age range, plenty of affordable housing and a “vibrant downtown after 5 p.m.” Mayoral candidate Don Amos focused on a potential redevelopment of West Sidney’s residential area as one way to do all that. West Sidney is high on Amos’ list in this election — an area he said needs more attention in the form of sidewalks and other infrastructure

improvements. Steve Duck, also running for mayor, noted the Town needs to offer amenities, petition businesses to stay open longer, increase activities for youth and explore options with neighbouring communities and the Sidney Business Improvement Area Society. Mayoral candidate Cliff McNeil-Smith mentioned what he termed a loss of children from area schools over the last 10 years and said the Town needs to “explore its options” in making these issues a high priority. Steve Price, running for mayor, added Sidney needs more residents and to do that,

housing density needs to be high which, in turn, will help keep businesses viable. Council candidates picked and chose which parts of the question to answer, but most said they supported development growth, secondary suites and other affordable housing options and even tax incentives to make things happen. Candidates were also asked about how they could attract more doctors to Sidney. As health care is under provincial control, candidates said they could have little impact, other than to encourage more affordable housing and set the stage for developers to want to build

medical clinics. All candidates were asked whether they live in Sidney and if not, how they justify making decisions for the Town. The question applied to only four candidates — Rosemarie Bongers, Erin Bremner, Melissa Hailey and Cam McLennan — who live outside of Sidney’s boundaries. All, however, pointed out they have longterm ties to Sidney be it through business or social attachments. “My life is in Sidney,” said Bongers. “I own businesses here. I live in Sidney but I sleep somewhere else.” McClennan noted he cannot afford to live in Sidney, but is trying. He lives in North Saanich. Hailey added it doesn’t matter where she lives, “when I am awake, I am here with you.” Bremner said the question should have been about the record of the non-residents’ involvement in the community. Financial restraint was raised time and again by many of the candidates — especially when asked about projects like a proposed new fire hall and the $3.4 million pedestrian overpass. While Price noted the project won’t cost taxpayers any money (not directly — the project will be covered by gas tax money returned to Sidney as well as provincial and federal grants), others said the money would be better spent elsewhere. Council candidate Bob Jones said the fire hall was state-of-the-art when it was first built adding he’s reluctant to build a new one without public input, or refit the existing one for millions of dollars. Overall, the people in the audience had to listen carefully to each answer given. The forum certainly wasn’t full of fireworks but each candidate was able to express their ideas and make their appeal to voters.

Getting to know the candidates in Central Saanich Central Saanich: This edition of the News Review continues the Q&As with civic election candidates

ontinuing in each edition of the Peninsula News Review right up until election day on Saturday, Nov. 15, we will be asking the candidates a series of questions about themselves and some of the top issues in Central Saanich, North Saanich and Sidney. Each candidate — mayoral or for council — received the same questions and were asked to submit their answers to the News Review. They will appear in two editions each week, representing the three municipalities on the Saanich Peninsula. School trustee candidates will be featured in separate articles.

Zeb King Occupation: Sr. Policy Analyst, B.C. Ministry of Health. Background: First elected in 2002; seeking 4th term on Council. I live in Central Saanich along with my wife and I follow the lessons of my grandparents which are to be involved in building the community we love. My grandparents were instrumental in establishing the Central Saanich Seniors’ Centre and many other community projects.

1. Why are you running for Council? I love this community. In my three terms on council, I have been able to make a difference by helping to shape the Official Community Plan (OCP) and by making decisions that respect both the OCP and Regional Growth Strategy. 2. What are your top three issues to tackle, if elected? 1) We need to get our fiscal house in order by keeping taxes low, saving and paying down our debt. 2) Reinvesting in our village centres to encourage business to relocate there while also building housing for seniors and young families. 3) Step up efforts to get safer access to the Keating business park

to both protect school children and enhance our Keating area. 3. What kind of leadership will you bring to council? I believe in opening the doors of municipal hall to encourage active citizen participation in identifying and resolving issues. I think council should make evidence-based decisions, relying on staff reports as well as citizen input. 4. What are your thoughts on industrial, residential and agricultural balance in Central Saanich? We need to maintain and enhance farming while concentrating on residential development in built-up areas, while encouraging new industry in the Keating Industrial Park.

— Steven Heywood, editor

I don’t believe there has been adequate public consultation. The best way to ensure there are no boondoggles with tax dollars is a willingness to slow down and ensure extensive public consultation takes place.

OUR VIEW

Change is the constant

e’re always told not to fear change, but the truth is, change is usually pretty scary. However, what we don’t often keep in mind is that change is vital for all of us to grow

and succeed. When I first started in my role as a full-time reporter for the Peninsula News Review, I was nervous. I was a green reporter, I had only recently completed my post-graduate studies in journalism, and I was setting out on a new adventure. However, one big thing that kept me from running scared from the job, which can be a notoriously tough one, was the fact that I was spreading my wings in my hometown. I was raised on the Saanich Peninsula and graduated high school here, so there were many familiar faces around to help me get accustomed to my new job as a journalist. Over the last two-and-a-half years, I’ve only added more familiar faces to that Devon roster of wonderful people I’ve MacKenzie met and I’ve only made deeper connections both in the community and further afield. Working as a reporter you are often an ear for someone to bend, a confidante for people with secrets or exclusive information, and sometimes you’re even a shoulder to cry on. It’s those times the rewards of the job, with its long days and neverending deadlines, are most evident. I’ve enjoyed every minute of being immersed in this wonderful community and seeing it, in some cases, grow and change, just as I have. It is with that sentiment and acknowledgement of the importance of growth and change that I made the decision to leave my post as reporter for the News Review earlier this fall. Today, Friday, Nov. 7, will be the last day I sit at my desk as the PNR’s reporter. New adventures as a freelance writer beckon and I am excited and looking forward to what the future has in store. Thank you to everyone who made my time with the Peninsula News Review more challenging, complex and, most of all, rewarding. — Devon MacKenzie What do you think?

YOUR VIEW

Avoid worsening crisis and find peace I am very concerned that my constituents know that I never urged Canada do nothing in face of the threat posed by ISIS (re: letter from Bill Wilson, Saanichton, Nov. 3). I opposed the bombing largely because many foreign policy and security experts feared the sixmonth bombing campaign would do more harm than good. Indeed, a senior member of the opposition to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad recently made the same point, arguing Canada’s contribution would be more effective if it involved training those opposing ISIS on the ground. I was the only MP in June 2011 to vote against bombing Libya. I explained that since some of the rebel groups we supported included Al-Qaeda, continued bombardment, instead of peace talks, would allow the warehouses full of tanks, ground to air missiles and guns to end up in the wrong hands. I wish I had been wrong, but through our good intentions in Libya we ended up arming ISIS. The following is the position I took in voting against the bombing in Iraq. Firstly, we should observe these key principles: 1) Ensure that whatever we do complies with international law. Despite the several UN security council resolutions relating to ISIS, it is far from clear that acts of bombardment comply with international law. 2) As physicians have so long pledged, “First do no harm.” Retired ambassadors Bob Fowler and Peggy Mason, among others, have warned a six-month bombing campaign could do more harm than good.

What could we do? • Send more funding to assist Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan deal with the Syrian refugee crisis on their borders. • Offer to the UN that Canadian forces (on the ground) will be available to establish a multinational peace-keeping force whose purpose is to provide round the clock security and protection for aid workers and refugee camps throughout the region. • Sign and ratify the UN Arms Control Treaty to stop the flow of arms to terrorists globally. • Shut down the oil refining capacity of captured ISIS oil fields and stop the black-market flow of oil. Choke ISIS of the millions of dollars a day it is making on black market oil. • Ensure that as broad and deep a coalition of non-western, regional governments as is possible pledge to eradicate religious extremists and terrorists. • Send help to the Kurds immediately as they fight off the ISIS assault. I agree that when faced with violent and ruthless forces, whether in 1940 or 2014, we cannot stand by and do nothing. I am committed to ensuring that anything Canada does is effective, aids in finding a durable peace and avoids a worsening crisis. Elizabeth May, MP Saanich-Gulf Islands

They stand on guard for us After the recent deaths of two soldiers on Canadian soil I am offended by complaints about the noise that Naval helicopters make around Victoria International Airport.

This is one of the tangible ways in which residents of Sidney and North Saanich can be reassured that our servicemen are indeed “standing on guard for thee.” In simple terms the squadron’s 2,000 hours of flying annually would work out to be about five or six take-offs and landings daily for a one hour flight, or approximately a one-hour flight each day, for each Sea King assigned to 443 Squadron. Take offs and landings last only minutes, circuits maybe 10, surely not enough time each day to get your knickers in a twist. In comprehensive terms 443 Squadron perform frontline services in the protection (anti-submarine warfare) and welfare (air sea rescue) of Canadians, particularly in British Columbia. All of the personnel (military and civilian) that are assigned to this annex of CFB Esquimalt serve us. They deserve our support. They could use more hours to maintain their proficiency and provision of service but find themselves, like much of the armed forces, the scapegoat for budget cuts to maintain political dynasties. Decades of political shenanigans and tendering, followed by questionable manufacturing antics, 443 Squadron should have long ago exchanged their current equipment for more efficient and up to date machines. I hope the complainants will be happier when the Cyclones arrive, but be warned there are supposed to be more of them. Geoff Hillier North Saanich Let your voice be heard.

Protecting our productive farmland while allowing our nonproductive farmland to be better utilized and included in the urban containment boundaries. 2. Increasing the number of homes/business within Central Saanich so we can increase the number of taxpay-

What are your top three issues to tackle, if elected? Defer Maber Flats until we have all the information needed to make an informed decision. The Tsawout development on the east side of the Highway will have a huge impact on how we do business in Central Saanich and it’s vital that we establish a good long term plan for economic development with the aid of an economic development advisor and public input in

conjunction with First Nations and neighbouring municipalities. This would include proper fiscal planning, while prioritizing financial demands and increasing our tax base. Advocate for multi generational housing, senior care facilities and assisted living accommodation.

Continued from page 7 3. What kind of leadership will you bring to council? Representing the political middle, I look at managing sustainable growth and bring balanced decision making to the table. I believe good communication and planning leads to good decision making, enabling me to be a strong, well-informed leader. 4. What are your thoughts on industrial, residential and agricultural balance in Central Saanich? We have the convenience of an urban lifestyle with the benefits of country living all working in

accord with one exception, truck access to our industrial area which currently impinges on our residential streets. We need to continue strongly advocating for improved access to Keating. If elected I will continue to integrate environmental, economical, and social considerations together in all decisions related to growth and change in our community. 5. Do you think council should proceed with the proposed Maber Flats project? I believe this should be deferred until an informed decision can be made. Our Agricultural Advisory Committee has concerns with the land cost, that the qualitative and quantitative analysis was inadequate and that there are other design options which haven’t been looked at. Good planning enables good decisions.

I attended university with a focus on Russian and American comparative studies as a young man and ran my campaigns as a Peace Candidate. Being an ardent Liberal, I started work campaigning for William ‘Tex’ Christy Clark. I also have a Moodrey great love of sports, particularly soccer and I am promoting my dream to see Canada as a world soccer power by 2020. You’ll often see me at the side of the Pat Bay Highway with my soccer balls promoting this; my hope is

that Canada can become a high level soccer power in the coming years. I have lived in beautiful Brentwood Bay for over 15 years. 1. Why are you running for Council? I am running for council because this election in Central Saanich grants the privilege of supporting a precise, direct vote on any project, service or decision that is deemed good for over 10,000 tax paying citizens. There is a lot to be done with expenditures based on the criteria of fiscally responsible cost control. 2. What are your top three issues to tackle, if elected? Traffic safety projects: a safety traffic circle at East Saanich Road and Wallace Drive in Saanichton, a safety crosswalk between the new Home Hardware and the plaza across the street where Shoppers Drug Mart is.

After surviving 53 sorties over enemy territory, Sidney veteran Donald Smith considers himself lucky. “But you’ve got to be good to be lucky,” he said, “and you’ve got to be lucky to be good.” Smith, 93, was an air force Pathfinder during the Second World War.

A poppy for remembrance Poppy campaign helps support local veterans Steven Heywood News staff

Wearing a poppy on your lapel this month has taken on a deeper meaning in the wake of the deaths of two soldiers in Ottawa and Quebec in crimes that have reverberated across the country. Val Noyes, who has run the poppy campaign for the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 37 (Saanich Peninsula) for the last 15 years, says interest in the poppy and people’s donations have increased. She said she’s hearing from people that it was those incidents in eastern Canada that created a spike in local interest — something she said is unfortunate and should not have to happen to get Canadians to remember the sacrifice men and women have made for their country. The annual poppy campaign occurs across the country. Artificial poppies are snapped up as people hope to show their remembrance of past and current service. Noyes said that no matter the reason, people’s generosity is up this

WE ARE CANADA’S TIRE AUTHORITY!

Tahoe is up to the big towing tasks By Zack Spencer

The all-new 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe is part of a full suite of large trucks from General Motors. These range from the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, the GMC Yukon and Denali and the Cadillac Escalade. Something of interest is the preference Canadians have for the GMC brand over the Chevrolet trucks, which are the most popular in the United States. More Canadians go for GMC and the US loves Chevrolet, the complete reverse.

Looks

Inside

One of the biggest changes in the full-size pickup trucks is the level of refinement and ride quality and this has migrated into this Tahoe, the cabin is quiet and refined. This is done through a number of advancements; one of the biggest is the way the doors wrap into the roof to help shut out road and wind noise. The next big advantage is the attention to detail in the front cabin. There is a big screen, front and centre, with easy to use and access rotary dials and switches.

LANGFORD and family campers with ease. The Tahoe uses the same 355hp 5.3L V8 engine found in the full-size pickup trucks. It uses direct injection technology and has the ability to switch off half of the cylinders to help save fuel. There is a small indicator light on the instrument cluster that tells the driver when the engine is running on just 4-cylinders. This helps the driver feather the throttle to keep the engine in this fuel saving mode as long as possible. When more power is needed, the engine automatically reverts to all eight cylinders for maximum power.

Verdict

The Tahoe tested was the top LTZ trim with the magnetic ride control, the same system used in the Corvette

Stingray. This system monitors the road condition up to 1000 times per second and adjusts the shock absorbers up to 100 times per second to improve ride and handling. TThe GMC Denali and Cadillac Escalade trucks have a larger 6.2L V8, which is much quicker and more capable. This Tahoe is just part of the fullline of trucks from GM that dominate the market, and for good reason. These are well-designed, well-made and supremely comfortable vehicles for a large family.

YEAR

The two-wheel drive Tahoe is the value leader in the GM line of full-size trucks, starting at $51,900-- the GMC comes with a $2000 premium over the Chevy. Yes, this is an expensive vehicle but keep in mind that towing is a big reason why people purchase such big trucks. With a towing capacity of 3856kg (8500 lbs.) in two-wheel drive trim and 3765 (8300 lbs.) with four wheel drive, the Tahoe is up to the task of towing most pleasure boats

CANADA’S

201 3

In the Chevrolet family the Tahoe is the short wheelbase version and the Suburban is the longer wheelbase model, with much more cargo space behind the third row of seats. The Tahoe sits very high off the ground so the power side step is a wonderful addition along with a power tailgate and backup camera. How did we ever live without these amenities before? The biggest change is the front lighting package GM has used on this Chevrolet. LED daytime running lights make a statement and the monster grille with the big

Chevrolet bowtie looks rough and ready.

NEWS REVIEW

DrivewayBC.ca

At home on the Serengeti and in the city By Ian Harwood

without damaging it. To my surprise, the vehicle performed just fine. I had driven on a steep side slope without and problem although my passenger was a little worried we were going to roll. I took it through a series of wellplaced ditches to test the articulation and managed to raise the passenger front tire easily three feet in the air while I teetered back and forth. A section of deep mud was no problem with the rear differential lock on. There was no chance of this being stuck. Besides there was no way I was calling

The recent Mercedes G-Class increased the aggressiveness of its physique. And, as a result, the G550 I tested can now navigate around the rhinos in the African Serengeti as well navigate the busy streets of downtown Vancouver without looking out of place! – Many would think you’re crazy to take a Mercedes off-road, but this vehicle has been exploring Africa and Asia for decades.

Looks:

It has a European look at the front end, with two marker lights on top of the fenders and LED light strips just below the headlights. A large Mercedes emblem is proudly displayed in the centre of the grille. The large wheel well openings and fender flares contribute to the aggressive look but serve a practical purpose in allowing for full travel of the suspension without letting the tires rub.

In The Cab:

Good vision on all sides. The cabin is extremely

well laid out. Controls are easily reached and I like the carbon fibre look over the wood burl. Three rocker switches on the dash control the centrifugal lock on the transfer case, the rear differential lock, and the front differential lock. When you engage these locks, an audible sound appears along with a light on the dash. The navigation screen is just above the centre stack on the dash. It looks a little out of place, almost if it

were an iPad placed there. I would have liked to have seen more of integration into the dash. The seats are very comfortable and controlled from the door panel. The steering wheel has a piano black lacquer on the smooth surfaces and the upholstery is ‘designo’ leather giving this space a luxurious feel to it.

Safety first:

Driver and front passenger air bag, side and rear head airbag. 4 wheel ABS,

traction control, electronic stability control, and brake assist. In the event of an accident the engine is automatically turned off, hazard lights are turned on, and doors are automatically unlocked. Now that is thinking! I had the opportunity to test this vehicle on the back roads. I have to admit I was a little sceptical of taking this vehicle through the mud and steep washouts

The G550 is equipped with a 5.5 Litre V8, which has an output of 382 hp and 391 ft lb of torque. The transmission is a 7G-TRONIC plus, that has been around since 1960, although updated to handle today’s requirements. Pump frequency:

I do not think people are going out to buy this luxury vehicle to drive some rough back roads but it would be comforting to know it can.

Look a little closer because that QR code on the B pillar could be a lifesaver. When a crash occurs and the vehicle is seriously damaged, the priority for the rescue services is to free the occupants. This can be extremely dangerous for both occupants and first responders since the vehicle is equipped with many potentially hazardous components such as high voltage wiring, fuel lines as well as airbags and SRS pyrotechnics, all of which can be compromised depending on the severity of the impact. While Mercedes-Benz information has been available to rescue teams for decades, it was traditionally provided in a printed format or downloadable as a pdf document. Today, it can be accessed by scanning a QR code with a smartphone, providing immediate access to a detailed rescue card which contains all of the structural details specific to a vehicle model, such as the location of airbags, battery, high strength steel (HSLA) and fuel tank. As part of its awareness campaign, Mercedes-Benz Canada has captured Kelowna’s Fire Hall No. 1 firefighters’ thoughts on Rescue Assist (http://bit.ly/10yVkWT).

I remem- but several vessels ahead ber very clearly how some of us had been bombed and of the boys took me under there were so many survi-

vors floating in the bay. This is an image I will never forget as I assisted the men in bringing up on the deck of the Orontes so many broken and maimed men. We also received via landing craft many German prisoners of war — our mission then was to take them to Britain. I had interesting conversations with many of these men who were held below deck. To me they were just ordinary young men, such as were on board my ship, and at that young age I could not see any harm in speaking to them. By the end of the war I was still a young lad of 20. It took a while to settle into “normal life,” but did eventually marry my wife. Years later we emigrated to Ontario where we spent 33 years and produced three wonderful children. We moved 26 years ago to Brentwood Bay where I now belong to several community groups and my family are all around me. My thoughts today are that I detest wars with such a loss of young lives. I feel so fortunate myself to still be living and a part of life at 87.” — Ronald McDougall Brackenridge (as retold by Marianne Brackenridge).

She credits companies like Pemberton Holmes, who one again donated space in Sidney to operate their poppy headquarters. That $82,000 collected last year has made its way into the community, Noyes explained. The lion’s share, she continued, went to help area veterans in need of help, be it walkers and hearing aids to health care services. Money is donated each year to Broadmead Lodge, where veterans make up the majority of residents, Noyes said. Funds also went to the Saanich Peninsula Hospital and the Mt. Newton Centre, which helps seniors in need. Addional monies shore up the Legion’s local bursaries and scholarships, like the Alan Calvert Scholarship, named for the first

president of Branch 37. It’s a $2,500 award to a student with the best academic record and is involved in their community. Bursaries contribute another $9,000 to students in need as they look to post-secondary education. Additional contributions are made, said Noyes, to local air and sea cadet programs, Scouts and Girl Guides and more. “We really feel we’re investing in growth through our scholarships and bursaries and the many youth groups we support. “The community is just so good to us.” Noyes, whose husband John is a Second World War veteran, said the poppy campaign continues to Nov. 15. That’s its official end, but donations are always welcome.

I feel that we have achieved a good balance between agriculture and residential in Central Saanich but believe that more businesses should be encouraged in the Keating Industrial Area as this will contribute to our community. 5. Do you think council should proceed with the proposed Maber Flats project? Although I am in support of preservation of natural lands, due to the high cost of this particular project, my main concern would be the long term costs to the residents of Central Saanich.

It’s Amore! at the Winspear Devon MacKenzie News staff

A tribute to ItalianAmerican music and comedy hits the stage this month at the Charlie White Theatre. It’s Amore!, featuring Maria Manna, is a performance filled with love and laughter you won’t want to miss, said Manna. “The show is essentially a tribute to ItalianAmerican music made popular by film,” she explained, adding that the comedy part of the show comes from Manna growing up in an Italian family. “It’s basically about all the crazy and funny things that Italian people are known for,” she laughed. Manna, who was born in Edmonton to Italian immigrant par-

ents, will sing a collection of memorable hit songs, from the toe tapping Mambo Italiano to the passionate theme from The Godfather. “For Italians and people of Italian decent, they love hearing this music because it brings back all sorts of wonderful memories,” Manna said. Manna’s idea for the show came from her husband, she explained, who encouraged her to capture her family’s culture in a show. “My husband, who comes from a British background, was always blown away by my family and the rich culture behind Italian families. “He encouraged me to write a show about it and I worked on it for about six months

Allison Crowe to croon holiday favourites SIDNEY — Musician Allison Crowe is bringing her musical blend of holiday favourites to Sidney this month. Delivering comfort and joys, Allison Crowe’s Tidings Concert stirs together traditional Christmas and holiday favourites with an organic blend of rock, jazz, folk, and soul. Crowe’s singularity has carried her across the globe and into such company as the Master of the Queen’s Music, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, Britain’s Poet Laureate, Carol Ann Duffy and tours with Canada’s Royal Winnipeg Ballet. Thrilling, fun, and moving, the Nanaimo-born musician has traversed Europe and Canada from her home-base in Corner Brook, Newfoundland. In her holiday concert, Crowe’s marvellous voice, guitar and piano will ring out The First Noel, In the Bleak Midwinter, O Holy Night and more carols alongside a modern canon: Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, The Beatles, Patty Griffin and Crowe’s own original song selections from elegiac to foot-stomping. The concert proceeds will aid two dedicated, hard-working, Victoria-based non-profits, Arte-

Do-it-yourself home maintenance tips Laura Lavin News staff

Every homeowner knows the learning curve is never ending when you own your own home. Along with washing the dishes and sweeping the floor come routine maintenance tasks and minor repairs that occur both seasonally and when you least expect it. Welcome to Part Two of our Top 10 list of around the house chores and trouble shooting ideas that every homeowner should know. Stop a leaky faucet: Nothing is more irritating than the drip, drip, drip of a leaky faucet. Fortunately, it’s an easy fix. First turn the water off underneath the sink, then plug the drain to help keep loose screws and washers from getting away. There are four types of taps, compression (two handles), ball (contains a ball bearing), cartridge and ceramic. To fix a compression faucet, remove each handle, then use a wrench to remove the nut. Underneath is the stem, which sits on top of the O-ring, which is on top of a seat washer. The seat washer is made out of rubber which when worn out, creates a drip. Pull out the stem and replace the washer – making sure you have an exact fit. Then reassemble the tap. Re-caulk a window: This is best done in mild, dry weather. Start on lower windows and you’ll be an expert before you have

Learning how to perform simple home maintenance and make repairs yourself will save you time and money. to climb a ladder. Prep carefully, removing old caulk, dirt and paint with a razor blade, cleaning the surface with a wire brush and make sure you have the right caulk for the job. Place the tube in the caulk gun and pull the notched rod back and turn it into place. Cut the tip of the tube about a 1/4 inch at an angle. Press the tip firmly against one corner of the window and apply caulk to the next corner in a continuous bead, just thick enough to fill the gap. Continue around all sides of the window, wiping excess caulk away

with a rag immediately. Repair cracks in the driveway: Heat, rain and tree roots can all take a toll on your driveway. To repair cracks in concrete, first power wash with a masonry cleaning solution to remove oil and grime. Mix your concrete to a doughy consistency. Use a sand mix for small cracks and gravel for larger holes and deep cracks. Pour the concrete in the cracks and use a trowel to fill in the holes, to remove excess and leave a flat surface. Allow it to dry overnight. When dry, apply a coat of resurfacing

concrete over the entire surface. Care for hardwood floors: Hardwood is beautiful and not difficult to care for. Make sure you clean spills when they happen, leaving water or other liquid will mark your floor. Vacuum with a brush or dust weekly and use mats to protect high traffic areas. Use furniture pads on the feet of all tables and chairs and avoid dragging items across the floor. When cleaning, never use ammonia-based products, bleach, wax, detergent or

vinegar. Keep your grout clean: Regular cleaning will keep grout looking fresh, but any grout will dull over time. Use a solution of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda mixed into a paste. Use a toothbrush to spread the mixture onto a small area of grout, two feet at the most. Allow it to sit for five to 10 minutes, then use the toothbrush to scrub the area. When you’re all done, remove the paste with a damp cloth and clean your tile as usual. editor@oakbaynews.com

News staff

Stelly’s Secondary’s senior boys soccer team finished their season undefeated in taking the Colonist Shield final match, 4-3 over Mt. Doug. The Stingers hosted the game Nov. 4 at Centennial Park in Central Saanich, as the team with the better record of the two finalists. Their opponents, the Mt. Doug Rams, tied with Stelly’s in both teams’ first match of the season. “It was great game,” said Rams’ coach Tom Getty afterwards. “We tied them at the start of the season and now we played them at the end. There’s no shame in this loss, they’re a good team.” Stelly’s coach Ryan Braun said his squad got on the board first, but Mt. Doug stormed back to tie the game — and that’s how the rest of the match played out. “Each time we scored, they would counter attack,” Braun said. While Stelly’s controlled most of the ball possession through-

teams were pretty evenly matched and credits their speed with being able to stay in it. Braun said going undefeated was a big accomplishment for his

team, and the Stingers end the season 7-0-1, and hoisted the Colonist Shield trophy after the final whistle. “How can you not be happy?” asked Braun.
