Opposing camps set for battle

North Saanich’s civic election could split between philosophies Steven Heywood News staff

North Saanich’s municipal election has come down to two camps, squaring off against each other in the final vote this Saturday. Communities like Sidney and Central Saanich are enjoying spirited races of their own, but in North Saanich, two opposing factions are pitting their candidates against the others in an attempt to wrestle control of the community. The only registered slate of candidates on the Saanich Peninsula are with Team North Saanich (TNS), whose members made up the majority on the council the last three years. Incumbents Conny McBride, Craig Mearns and Dunstan Browne are joined on the TNS ticket by newcomers Jack McClintock and Steve Pearce. They face a strong opposition, less organized, but putting forward their own list of preferred candidates. This opposition comes from three web-based camps — Keep North Saanich Rural, North Saanich Community Voices and Save Our North Saanich. They share common interests — and share information freely between their websites — and oppose TNS. Both sides agree this year’s civic election in North Saanich has focussed a great deal on the philosophical differences between them. In both cases, their representatives say they will, ultimately, respect the wishes of the voters. Springfield Harrison and Bernadette Green make up two members of the Community Voices camp. They have fought the TNS majority through this last term on its stance on housing issues, as well as the disfunction on council that started at their inaugural meeting in 2011. “It’s interesting that there’s more than one group,” Harrison said. “Other people have been bothered to the same extent as us.” The pair say they feel TNS during this last term, never made it clear what they were planning to do — to set the stage for new and different housing projects.

Friday, Friday, November November 14, 14, 2014 2014 -- PENINSULA PENINSULA NEWS NEWS REVIEW REVIEW

A common thread between Greene, Harrison and other TNS opponents, is the district’s official community plan. They say they want it followed by local politicians — and say it calls for slower growth than the estimated 520 new homes that could be built now that the municipality changed its policies and bylaws to allow more growth in a shorter period of time. Candidates with TNS dispute this, saying they’ve only ever acted on numerous studies, surveys and consultant reports that suggest most residents agree there needs to be more diversified housing options. “North Saanich has always been very split,” said TNS candidate and incumbent councillor Conny McBride. “It’s gotten worse, but I don’t think it needs to be that way.” She said It’s naive to think any community will always remain the same — or that all candidates vote the same way. “You’ve got to decide what’s best for the community.” McBride added past studies and a more recent consultant report showed people were in favour of more and varied housing — so TNS members acted, something they had said they would do. Don Enright, whose Save North Saanich website is the newcomer among opponents to

TNS, said North Saanich’s open spaces are subject to attack, and that’s the root of why he’s opposed to the slate of candidates and is providing one of his own. Like his counterparts, Enright said he’s not anti-growth — only opposed to what they call rapid growth outside of the OCP. “It’s too much, too fast,” he said. Harrison added the OCP does set out guidelines for growth in North Saanich. ‘It’s there because that’s what the people wanted,” he said. Greene added the OCP was something that people counted on but the council majority changed that when they changed parts of it without extensive public input — something they think was lacking throughout the entire last term of council. TNS candidate Craig Mearns, an incumbent district councillor, called the opposition websites very negative and the people behind them he termed as opponents to everything TNS does — from their stance on housing to their work to keep taxes low. Yet, Mearns, McBride and newcomer to TNS Steve Pearce said while they are a slate of candidates, they won’t always vote the same. “We did not always vote as a block,” Mearns said. “We don’t have a leader telling anyone how to vote.”

He said TNS is made up of likeminded candidates who wanted to share campaign resources. Yet, he agreed their goals are similar when it comes to local politics. “We’ve talked about building more affordable housing, decreasing the amount of local regulation, keeping taxes low,” he explained. “These are the things we heard from people that were annoying them.” Mearns said growth in North Saanich had come to nearly a standstill and in the face of demands for more housing from local business and industrial groups, decided to respond to that need. With all the changes that have come to pass, Mearns agrees there needs to be an OCP review, suggesting it could confirm what TNS has been pushing all along. Pearce added joining the slate was a risk, but feels the issues they agree on are only the start. “The community atmosphere is more important than showing up angry about a single issue,” he said. “There needs to be a wide view on the community as a whole.” While new to local politics Pearce said he can see the two sides squaring off in this election. Members of TNS agree the result on Nov. 15 is anyone’s guess. Harrison and other TNS opponents add that no matter the outcome Saturday, they will respect the will of the voters.

I want to modMelissa Hailey ernize democracy and bring it forward by using the current technology available and make some services available even when the hall is closed. 2. What are your top three issues to tackle, if elected? Smart growth concepts. Using technology to get the public involved such as Sidney Says (website). I am also looking for efficiencies by modernizing how the municipality works and how the public interacts with the local

government. 3. Is council’s relationship with the business community adequate and what would you change if elected? Trying to get the business community into a cohesive group. I support the Mayor’s Task Force recommendations. It is a road map forward. Once there is buy in from the merchants, I am looking forward to implementing the road map. 4. What sort of balance should Sidney seek to achieve on its waterfront land? The waterfront is an asset all residents and visitors enjoy. Where we can get waterfront land and keep it public adds an amenity to the town. 5. How would you contribute to people’s enjoyment in living, working and playing in Sidney? We have done a lot to improve the ambiance downtown. The lighting makes it more welcoming in the evening to have a walk down Beacon Avenue. The gardening and trees also add to the welcoming and peaceful aspect of our town. I support enhancing the outdoor pubic spaces Sidney has. Getting people to open up about what they enjoy in Sidney will give us a better idea where to enhance.

Is council’s relationship with the business community adequate and what would you change if elected? I feel that the current relationship with the business community by council is adequate. Council has a responsibility to provide infrastructure and an environment in which business can be successful. While striving to reduce tax impacts for all, I would never advocate doing it at the expense of the residential taxpayer. Ongoing liaison with business should be pursued to ensure we are being as responsive to their needs as is possible. Continued on page 6

solution for this conundrum. • Sidewalks; there are not enough of them and in places are too narrow. This could be solved by working aggressively within the long term Town infrastructure program and increasing the width of our sidewalks on replacement. • In order to ensure that Sidney remains an attractive seaside town I believe it is essential we continue to protect and fund our waterfront and marine infrastructure. 3. Is council’s relationship with the business community adequate and what would you change if elected? I have been the liaison between council and the Chamber of Commerce and I believe in the main we share common goals. The Sidney Business Improvement Area (SBIA) is working well with the Town. We share office space and manpower to improve

the economic sustainability of the Town. The Town continues to provide a variety of parking for customers. Do we have sufficient parking? No there is always a requirement for more, however by supporting downtown residential development there would be more pedestrian shoppers present. 4. What sort of balance should Sidney seek to achieve on its waterfront land? Council has formed a Ports Committee made up of the mayor, several councillors (myself being one) and citizens with waterfront experience. This group looks at the long range requirements and funding for the sustainability of our waterfront. The most expensive and notable infrastructure includes our three marine structures and our long seaside walkways which require continual maintenance. 5. How would you

contribute to people’s enjoyment in living, working and playing in Sidney? Ensure maintenance funds are available to support our present sports and recreation infrastructure. We need to continue to work and cooperate with our local service clubs that provide such items as playground equipment and water spray park equipment with the Town funding the supporting civil infrastructure. Future capital expenditures could include such initiatives as a pickle ball court, resurfacing Iroquois tennis courts and perhaps providing more bike paths. Support to our museum, Mary Winspear Centre and, the library continues to be important for our residents. The next council will be engaged in the formulation of the new parks master plan and these preceding issues could be, inter alia, included in that plan.

1. Why are you running for council? Seeing that a new mayor will be elected this election, I see that the team will need a strong, professional and positive councillor to allow council to give Town staff a clear direction as to what the residents and businesses of the Town of Sidney need and require. 2. What are your top three issues to tackle, if elected? 1) To see council work cooperatively and progressively with the businesses of Sidney to make Sidney the economic hub of the Saanich Peninsula. This also includes working with the Victoria Airport Authority and their land use program, since many community families work with the businesses associated within those lands. 2) To keep the waterfront lands of downtown Sidney for all to enjoy. The old Port Sidney lands need to be included in a revitalization plan. 3) We must always remember to include the resi-

3. Is council’s relationship with the business community adequate and what would you change if elected? The business sector in Sidney is very valuable to the sustainability of our Town and must be on council’s radar at all times. We must remember that our downtown serves as the economic centre of the Peninsula. Town staff has been proactive in developing additional parking and the infrastructure to accommodate the future needs of our downtown core. We now need to work with business to fulfill their future needs while keeping our Town’s charm. 4. What sort of balance should Sidney seek to achieve on its waterfront land? Our protection of our waterfront started with the redevelopment of Resthaven hospital with waterfront dedicated to the public walkway. There is still commercial land to be developed and as it was with The Pier development the waterfront of those properties will be top priority to be retained by the Town for the public. 5. How would you contribute to people’s enjoyment in living, working and playing in Sidney? Our infrastructure and parks are two priorities that need to be maintained. Council must clearly direct Town Staff in continuing to seek the rejuvenation of our downtown. Continued safe access to and from West Sidney must also be addressed.

Cam McClennan 4. What sort of balance should Sidney seek to achieve on its waterfront land? My personal view would be to have some community based business, an indoor play zone for families and a Granville Island type of feel, i.e; sitting areas, shops, open air market, maybe some residential on top? With that said, I want the residents of Sidney to participate in the planning and development of these lands.

OUR VIEW

Make it a good one

ill you vote tomorrow in the civic election in your community? It’s a question people have probably been asking each other — and themselves — since the campaigning really got into full swing back in October. It’s a question we want to ask our readers today, the day before general election day in Sidney, North Saanich and Central Saanich. We’re not expecting an answer. In fact, this is more like a rhetorical question, designed to prompt thought on the act of voting and whether one feels informed enough to make an educated decision. We’re also not going to beat people over the head with begging them to “get out and vote, no matter what, because it’s your so-called democratic duty.” Rather, we hope that those people who are going to the polls tomorrow are informed voters. We hope that they have taken some time to examine the issues and determine how the candidates stack up and which ones come close to an individual’s values, wants and needs for community. It’s taking responsibility for that single vote that enables democracy to work. Voting blindly just leaves the electoral process to chance. With declining voter turnout rates across the country, there has been discussion around the chances of mandatory voting — forcing people to take part in an election at the cost of a fine or through tax incentives. There’s little value to this, in our view, as it has people who are uninformed and simply do not wish to be punished, casting their ballots. Again, we end up with random results. Would mandatory voting encourage more voter education? Possibly, but can that education be mandatory as well? Costly and unlikely. No, our communities, provinces and the nation rely on people who take it upon themselves to know the issues and know the candidates, hopefully voting in line with their values. So, among those low voter turnout numbers, we see the more dedicated among us doing all of the heavy lifting and, in essence, making decisions for the rest of us. If we’re comfortable with that, by all means maintain the status quo. If you’re not, be prepared to put in a little effort — for that will make all the difference in how engaged one feels in the democratic process.

YOUR VIEW

We have a chance to make a difference How I empathized with Alex and Bozenna Apouchtine when I read their letter in the PNR (densification failure in Saanichton and Brentwood Bay). In North Saanich, we have suffered with identical issues. I strongly urge all concerned citizens who may feel that their council has been following its own agenda while totally disregarding the sentiments of their constituents, to ensure that they are fully aware of the important issues in the forthcoming election and to question the candidates on topics such as: • How urgent do they feel about the need for an OCP review? • Are they prepared to support a bylaw that would prohibit spot zoning? • Do they support the last OCP review’s findings that North Saanich residents wish to maintain the rural, marine and agricultural nature of the municipality, or do they have a different vision? • Is urbanization truly in the best interests of North Saanich or in the best interests of speculators and developers? Residents of North Saanich, if you have strong feelings about the direction being taken in your municipality, now is the time to become informed and then vote. Only you can truly make a difference. L. Wingate North Saanich

A dogmatic attitide Re: Gases Spew from the Legislature, Nov. 5, 2014. I wish to comment on this recent editorial by Tom Fletcher. It is not only right-wing thinking people that

hold the view that human beings are not responsible for climate changes the Earth has experienced over the past 50 years or so. There are a significant number of climatologists, meteorologists and other scientists, that believe rather than humankind, there are other forces at work, namely our sun, that have largely been responsible for the climate changes experienced. Tom Fletcher is unfortunately incorrect when he states that there remains a climate debate on this vital subject. Certainly, there should be an ongoing open discourse, but instead there has developed a dogmatic attitude that is preventing intelligent conversation in regard to this very important subject. Rod Chilton Saanichton

We need more Red Green For two elections running, the mantra “We will keep council off your back, out of your wallets and off your property” has been touted by some candidates as an aiming point for municipal government. Margaret Thatcher would approve but she is gone. Elsewhere there is a substantial segment of the voting population that says “anybody but …”. Once again we risk a stifling polarization. In 2014, here in North Saanich we need less Margaret Thatcher and “anybody-but” and instead more Red Green as in “We’re all in this together so keep your sticks on the ice.” We need to be creative and collaborative in order to maintain a vibrant human community living in balance with our beautiful natural community. Come to think of it,

a mantra more suited to our times might be “creativity, collaboration, and community.” What is your mantra for North Saanich public life? After November 15 our newly elected councilors need to reset the tone of public life by example, both leading and listening, contributing their wisdom and experience and voting according to their individual best judgments, all guided by the Official Community Plan. The Official Community Plan is as close as we can get to a public covenant that enables us to live well together. The rest of us, ordinary citizens, need to be creatively active as well, taking an interest in public life, participating in the renewal of our Official Community Plan. Political alignment may not be the only quality worth considering in a candidate. How about pleasant manners, demonstrated capability, openness to new ideas, willingness to do the hard work to arrive at effective compromise, and even a sense of humour? Farrell Boyce North Saanich

Hands in cookie jar Tom Fletcher’s column in the Peninsula News Review, Is CUPE running your city hall, nails it. Like the Atlantic provinces and Ontario, organized public labour unions are ensuring that they can get their hands in the cookie jar and actively work to exclude any candidates for public office who might want to keep a lid on costs.

Peter Wainwright Occupation: Environmental consultant. Background: Sidney councillor from 1993 to 2008; resident of Sidney since 1984; President, Sidney Museum and Archives (2013/14); President, B.C. Library Trustees Assoc. (2007); numerous positions on Town of Sidney and CRD committees and boards between 1994 and 2008. 1. Why are you running for council? Sidney is facing some serious challenges over the next few years. There are also some things, such as Beacon Wharf, which are overdue for attention. I believe I can make a difference by being on council. 2. What are your top three issues to tackle, if elected? (1) Strengthening our downtown in the face Re-Elect in Central Saanich

of existing challenges; (2) Sensible and strategic spending priorities and conservative management to minimize tax increases; (3) The latest census shows that our median age has increased. Clearly our efforts to maintain a balanced community aren’t working. We need to reverse this trend. 3. Is council’s relationship with the business community adequate and what would you change if elected? I think the Town communicates fairly well with the business community, but the relationship is stressed by economic pressures on businesses. There is a

need to pay more attention to the industrial area. We need to investigate potential incentives to encourage downtown revitalization and invest in economic development. 4. What sort of balance should Sidney seek to achieve on its waterfront land? It is important for us to maintain Tsehum Harbour as a working harbor. Shoal Harbour needs to be protected as a migratory bird sanctuary with compatible, low density residential development

along its shores. The waterfront lands in the vicinity of the end of Beacon Avenue should be a people place with predominantly mixed land uses. The waterfront along Lochside drive should remain as park and amenities (e.g. boat launch). The Anacortes Ferry Terminal is economically important but seriously under-utilized. We need to develop a community-driven vision that makes better use of this land. The remaining water-

front lands should remain residential (with mixed densities — not all condos) with public beach accesses and waterfront walkway. It is also important to maintain ocean viewscapes from our streets.

5. How would you contribute to people’s enjoyment in living, working and playing in Sidney? Sidney should remain pedestrianfriendly with vibrant community events. We need to maintain our amenities, develop more “people places” and enhance the Beacon Ave. streetscape. We need to encourage a greater diversity of things to do, particularly for families and in the evenings.

Hall of famer credits luck and opportunity Maureen Hibberson earned her place in the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame this fall. Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

Luck and opportunity paved the way for lifelong friendships and health. That’s how Maureen Hibberson sees sports in her life. “I come from a very athletic family [and had] all kinds of opportunity,” she said. “My mother and dad put me in everything. They thought it was a good idea for youngsters to be in a variety of sports.” Her success in five sports in particular earned her a place in

the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame this year; inducted alongside eight other local athletes at the Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort and Spa late last month. “I was absolutely flabbergasted. I had no idea it was even being considered,” she said. “I feel I’m representing a lot of women in my generation. In our era people played everything. There weren’t specialties.” Hibberson held her own in five sports: badminton, swimming, tennis, field hockey and golf. While now a youth

Communication Strategies for People with Hearing Loss

People that live with hearing loss can tell you how frustrating communication breakdown can be. In some situations it can be difficult and tiring to just carry on a basic conversation. The use of hearing aids is important when treatable hearing loss is present, but additional communication strategies can help people with hearing loss stay connected to the people around them. Some of these strategies are for the communication partner. For example, it is useful to get the person’s attention before talking, and to speak facing the person and from a relatively close distance. Make sure your face and mouth are visible, and speak slowly and clearly instead of trying to shout. If the person with hearing loss is not hearing your message, try re-wording instead of repeating verbatim. It is also useful to let the person know what the topic of conversation is before talking, so that they have context. Individuals with hearing loss can use strategies such as having conversations from a close distance in an environment with good lighting and without too much extraneous noise. If there is a communication breakdown, it is important to say so, and to ask the speaker to repeat or rephrase what is said. When living with hearing loss, it is important to let people know how they can help you hear them better. Using communication strategies is crucial for everyone but particularly for people with hearing loss to maintain the connection and interaction with friends and family.

which she played from the age of 14 to 79. Over that time period she won seven club titles, 20 city titles, four Pacific Northwest titles, 40 provincial titles, six national titles and two international titles. “I played it the longest and travelled the most with it,” she said. Perhaps the best thing that came from

the sport: “I met my husband playing badminton,” she said. They partnered for both bridge and badminton tournaments without fighting. “So we thought it was OK to get married,” she said with a laugh. Please see: Making friends has been, page 11

B.C. Seniors Advocate

Most seniors are not spoiled and rich Steven Heywood News staff

B.C.’s Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie says recent media reporting that claims seniors in this country are privileged does not reflect reality for most elders in this province. Mackenzie told the Peninsula News Review it’s important for people to understand that while there are many seniors who are able to provide for themselves, they do not represent the majority of elders in B.C. “A majority of seniors in B.C.

“A majority of seniors in B.C. are living on $25,000 a year.” – Isobel Mackenzie are living on $25,000 a year,” she said, adding an estimated 52,000 earn only $17,000 a year. What’s missing from the media reporting, she said, is the difference between a senior’s income and their assets — which does not always translate into how wealthy they are. Some people do have assets

and investments outside of the government entitlements that help them provide for themselves in their senior years, she continued, but many others do not. Even if their income is reasonable, Mackenzie said, going into residential care can eat up as much as 80 per cent of their income. Mackenzie said that during her travels across the province over the last six months, she did not see a majority of seniors who were well off enough not to require public services.

You won’t find ratings for an Acura CSX in Consumer Reports or the results of any US crash testing. However, it’s safe to assume that it would achieve similar results to the Honda Civic, which does spectacularly well in owner survey ratings and also receives top ratings occupant protection in a collision. Used prices may be on the high side, but if you like the Honda Civic, yet desire a little extra pampering and performance, take a look and a drive in used Acura CSX. Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s condition, mileage, usage and history. A complete mechanical check should always be performed by a reliable auto technician prior to purchase.

highway) with the manual transmission. Other than leather upholstery, which became standard on every CSX, there were no significant changes for 2008 model year. In 2009, the CSX got a minor facelift up front and 17-inch wheels, fog lights and USB port for audio players all became standard equipment. The CSX Type-S became the CSX i-Tech (and came with xenon headlights, a navigation system and Bluetooth connectivity) for the 2011 model year, its final year of production. A used CSX doesn’t cost too much more than a top-line Civic. Not only do you get more content and performance, Acura models also come with a longer warranty than Honda. Full coverage is for 4 years or 80,000 km, compared to 3 years/60,000 km from Honda.

PThe Acura CSX was made in Canada and only sold in Canada. Essentially it’s a sportier and more luxurious Honda Civic as it shares most major parts, other than engines. So, an owner not only gets the renowned reliability, fuel efficiency and functionality of a Civic, but also a higher level of performance and luxury ... very nice! First released for the 2006 model year, CSX came with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that can also be found in an Acura RSX, with slightly different tuning. A suspension upgrade also gives CSX better handling than a Civic and it originally came in Touring and Premium (with leather upholstery, Xenon headlights and a power sunroof) trim levels. A new more performance oriented version called the Type-S replaced Premium for the 2007 model year. The standard 2.0-litre engine can produce 155 horsepower, but the 2.0-litre in a Type-S version can churn-out 197 horsepower. The manual transmission in a base CSX is a five-speed, while the Type-S has a six-speed. A fivespeed automatic transmission was a popular option, An automatic model also comes with steering wheel mounted paddle-shift (manual) controls. Using the newly revised (and more realistic) fuel economy rating method, a CSX (auto) should get 10.9/7.8 L/100 km (city/ highway) and 10.0/7.6 L/100 km (city/

refers to a new technology that relies on an electrical charge to light the xenon gas contained in a sealed bulb. Unlike the halogen bulb, the HID bulb does not have a filament, because there is no filament the bulbs are not susceptible to vehicle vibration damaged. There are however effected by and fluctuations in the vehicles electrical system and depending on the vehicle they may require some resistors. The HID bulb creates light by bridging an arc between two electrodes, instead of heating a filament. This light is similar to the energy transfer when lightning strikes. The arc stimulates the xenon gases producing bright white beam of light. The next wave of off-road lighting technology is LED. Rigid is a leader in this technology. Low amperage and superior light projecting forward is why most off-road racers are switch to this type of light. Check them out at www.rigidindustries.com. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

With the nights getting longer and the dark grey days ahead, anybody venturing out to do a little four wheeling will tell you good off-road lighting is a must. Make sure you only operate them off-road. Good quality wiring of a set of off-road lights is important when installing them on your truck, SUV or 4x4. Simply running a power and ground may work but is not the correct way to wire them. Most off-road lights draw a lot of power when switching them on, and this load should never be applied directly to the switch. Using a relay for the switching duties will save your switch and lights as well as make for a safer installation. Relays are easy to install and some lights come with them, but if not, you can pick up a relay from your local auto parts store. Install a switch in the cab of your truck in a location that is , convenient for you to reach, or tap into the high-beam circuit of the headlights to power the relay. Mount the relay inside the cab, under the dash or other location out of the way and out of the elements. Run a wire from the battery , other positive source or to the switch. This is the positive feed to switch the relay on. You will also need to run a ground wire to the switch from the frame or

other ground then run a positive feed wire from the battery to the positive in position on the relay. There will be four connectors on the relay, a positive, a negative, a positive out and a positive in from the battery. Read the packaging or directions to determine which is which. Find the ground position on the relay and run a wire from it to a good ground on the chassis of the vehicle. Anywhere on the frame or other metal structure of the vehicle will normally produce a decent ground. Run a section of wire from the switch output to the switched power input on the relay. Again, this will be marked or identified on the directions that came with your relay. Run the last wire from the relay positive out position to the lights and connect it to the positive feed on the lights. Ground the lights by attaching the black or ground wire to the frame or other ground on the truck. HID lights have become more popular with off-roaders these days. Installation is a little more work. But the principles remain the same. Be sure to follow the instructions provided in the kit. HID stands for High intensity discharge which

Collier said he sees a big opportunity for trustees to be involved in the school communities — and for students, too, to be involved in the broader community. He said a single trustee should be active and involved. His own plans include reviewing the budget and administration costs. “I believe the board needs strong voices for public education,” Collier said. Continued from page 3

Leveraging your charitable donations at year’s end A

s the year-end approaches, many taxpayers will be thinking not only of charitable giving, but also of ways to minimize 2014 income taxes payable. Among other considerations will be the tax-reducing effect of charitable donations to registered charities. The Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) encourages charitable donations in a manner which not only is very tax-efficient for the donor, but also can allow him/her to actually leverage the donation to a higher level than might otherwise be considered. Let’s look at an example. Our taxpayer wishes to donate $1,000 to a favorite charity before year-end. There are several ways

Our taxpayer could instead, donate to the registered charity, not cash but the Bank stock itself — at market value. In so doing, he would not be assessed capital gains taxes and receive a charitable donation receipt for $1,000. The registered charity could in turn, immediately sell the stock for its $1,000 market value, on a fully tax-exempt basis. The donor could in fact, choose instead to donate $1,200 worth of the stock and receive a $1,200 tax receipt. This larger-than-planned donation would cost him no more than a $1,000 after-tax cash donation. The effect is a greater donation to the charity, zero capital gains tax, and a larger tax receipt.

NOTICE

SNOW AND ICE REMOVAL The municipality will make every effort to keep major arterial and collector streets open and to clear snow from as many residential streets as possible. In the event of snowfall, property owners and residents are advised that the Central Saanich Streets and Traffic Bylaw requires you to clear snow and ice within 24 hours of the accumulation of such snow or ice from the sidewalk bordering your properties. Please remember your elderly or physically challenged neighbours who would appreciate your assistance with snow removal. A brochure further outlining these policies and procedures is available at the Municipal Hall or Public Services Yard as well as on the District’s website. To view the District’s Snow and Ice Information page please visit: www.centralsaanich.ca or call 250-544-43224 ext 3221. The co-operation of all property owners and residents in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Deodorant

Norman Doerksen Superintendent of Public Works

Every day millions of women slap on body moisturizer, apply lipstick or mascara without a second thought about what they are putting on their skin. A study from the UK claims that the average woman applies more than 500 chemicals to her body every day during her beauty routine.

Why should you be concerned?

Obviously, this approach to charitable giving makes little sense for smaller donations. However, for those taxpayers in a position to make major charitable contributions, being able to donate more, on a very tax-efficient basis, holds great appeal; it is worth considering. Check with your accountant for more detailed guidance in implementing this approach.

Chemicals such as parabens (a synthetic preservative in everything from toothpaste to shampoo) and phthalates (a class of chemicals that are found in many “fragranced” beauty products such as lotions, perfumes and deodorants) are classified as xenoestrogens. Xenoestrogens mimic our natural estrogens creating hormone chaos by increasing the total amount of estrogen, resulting in a condition called estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance has been implicated in many conditions including: breast and prostate cancer, obesity, infertility, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, early onset puberty, hormonal acne and PMS.

Xeno-Detox Every Day

EstroSense is a comprehensive liver detoxifier that gently supports the elimination of harmful environmental toxins and helps to bring back hormone synergy.

As a lifelong academic, it’s only natural that Peter Pearse should identify his new book, A Natural Selection; Building a Conservation Community on Sidney Island as a monograph. For those of you who might be wondering, a monograph is a specialist work of writing on a single subject which presents original scholarship and research on the topic under discussion. The book, though, is not the scholarly tome that its label

might cause one to expect. Instead this is the delightful and inspirational story of an academic who discovered that the grand theories that he taught at the University of British Columbia weren’t always valid when applied to the real life challenges of his idyllic home on Sidney Island. Pearse has been involved with Sidney Island for some 35 years. That’s when he, his wife, and a group of what was ini-

tunity to practise what we preached: advanced forestry, growing and enhancing forests instead of simply harvesting them,” writes Pearse. But the theories soon faced numerous challenges of economics and resolve. The partnership was divided between “the hawks” who wanted to maximize return on investment and “the doves” whose desire to maintain the beauty of the environment was the primary motivation. The book recounts the challenges of building a sustainable paradise in an environment that, at times, seemed weighted against the entire enterprise. With this book, Pearse has an opportunity to celebrate the success of the concept. “We’ve managed to develop a system of governance that helps to preserve and protect the natural beauty of this very special place,” said Pearse. “It wasn’t easy, and there are a lot of stories of how we managed to persevere, but it was all worth it.” An example of one of those stories might sound familiar to many B.C. residents. It involved deer. PLEASE SEE: Conservation theory not always easy, page 21

Fallow deer had overrun the island and presented even the most nature-loving of the residents with a significant challenge. “At one time we had over 3,000 deer on the island and not only were they destroying the forest, they were no longer healthy,” said Pearse. Not surprisingly, the challenge of controlling that population was very divisive and presented some especially human challenges to the cooperative nature of the island’s governance. In the end this book is the story of a man’s effort to apply a lifetime of academic conservation theory to the a tiny island paradise. It’s also a story of human inter-

action, conflict and cooperation. “Whether it was deer, Canada geese, beach bonfires, cutting trees for profit...” said Pearse, “it hasn’t been easy, and we don’t

always agree but we’ve manage to find a way to make it work.” “Peter Pearce is one of B.C.’s leading intellectuals,” said publisher Alex Rose. “His is an inspirational story

and we’re thrilled that he’s shared it through our publishing house.” Pearse’s book is published by Walhachin Press and will be available on November 15, 2014.

YOUR Q: SHARE WHAT KINDS EXPERIENCES OF VIEWS ADD IN AND THEBUYING MOST TO A SELLING YOUR HOME’S VALUE? HOME Can staging help remove some of the guesswork for potential buyers?
