Cormier vows to stay on council Federal NDP candidate says she’ll forgo her paycheque during the campaign Carlie Connolly News staff

Alicia Cormier will be staying on Central Saanich council while running in the federal election campaign for the NDP. “As council and the community are aware, I have been acclaimed as the NDP candidate for Saanich-Gulf Islands and will be a candidate in the coming federal election,” Cormier read from a prepared statement during the Aug. 17 regular council meeting. “At this time, I wish to advise council and members of the community, that I will continue to do the most important parts of my council role, but I will not be accepting pay as councillor during the federal election. I will reduce some of my committee work, but will stay involved with the Economic Development Advisory Committee and the affordable housing committees.” Mayor Ryan Windsor said that from his own perspective, a leave of absence is usually done from other politicians in the same situation. He cited Rob Fleming of the City of Victoria who requested and was granted a leave of absence from that council when he sought the NDP nomination in 2005.

North Saanich’s suite plan not so sweet Dean Park residents opposed to secondary suite project coming their way Steven Heywood News staff

In the face of a large amount of opposition to plans to extend a secondary suites bylaw into a portion of North Saanich, district council is split on how to proceed.

® ®

Monday night, council voted 4-3 to reject a recommendation to exclude the Dean Park Estates residential area from the municipality’s secondary suites program. That vote, however, did not provide clear direction from local politicians on whether they wanted to actually include the area,

either, as time ran long at the meeting and council decided to wait before clarifying their position. It was clear, however, the council will be revisiting the issue. PLEASE SEE: Covenants create large grey area, page 4

Tip of the Peninsula Boys and Girls Club says thanks

CENTRAL SAANICH — The Boys & Girls Club Services of Greater Victoria is celebrating the first six months of the Kaare Norgaard Central Saanich Club, following hefty fundraising efforts by the community to build the new facility. In a letter to Black Press, the club highlighted its Jan. 24 opening, attributing the new location’s success to the $850,000 raised through its Open the Doors campaign, which included in-kind gifts from about 50 business and individuals totalling more than $150,000. — Black Press

Jubilee park to cost $430,000 North Saanich to seek out grants and donations for new green space Steven Heywood News staff

Most of an estimated $430,000 for a new park in North Saanich will be found through grants and donations, says the District’s head staffer. Council on Monday discussed this Saturday’s official opening and dedication of the North Saanich Jubilee Park. Located on Mills Road next to the Holy Trinity Anglican Church, the park helps mark the District’s 50th anniversary of incorporation. It’s price tag is associated with four phases of construction, set to take place over a few years. The District itself has already paid around $17,400 for picnic tables and a new sign at the site, as well as the overall site plan. The municipality will contribute money — approximately $100,000 to begin work on the project — but Chief Administrative Officer Rob Buchan says the overall plan is to begin a community fundraising campaign, led by council, and seek out grants and other sources of cash. In response to questions from councillors Geoff Orr and Jack McClintock regarding the price of the park, Buchan said

North Saanich’s new Jubilee Park — next to the Holy Trinity Anglican Church — will be dedicated Saturday morning, following a pancake breakfast that starts at 8 a.m. the project itself is a departure from the District’s parks master plan. However, it was a plan approved by council to help celebrate the jubilee this year. “Our goal is that grants and donations will pay for (most of it),” he said. Coun. Murray Weisenberger asked if the location of the

park was well suited for family visits, wondering if it will be well-used once it’s complete. Buchan said he’s seen a similar park near the airport in Richmond, one that gets a lot of use. “This has great promise as a location,” he said. “Once it is built out, it will be a stellar legacy for the community.”

The land was donated to the District by the Victoria Airport Authority and is being supported by airport-based businesses. The park itself is being designed to have an aviation theme. Saturday’s park dedication starts at 8 a.m. with a pancake breakfast.

Covenants create large grey area in North Saanich Continued from page 1

North Saanich’s secondary suites program was launched as a pilot in 2010 to properties in the municipality’s southeast quadrant (residential properties south and north of McTavish Road). The goal was to establish a permitting process for secondary suites, providing amnesty for what were illegal suites at the time to encourage them to come up to code. Following reviews of the program in late 2014 and into 2015, council directed staff to expand the program into the Dean Park Estates. That set off a flurry of activity and concern from residents there, opposed to such suites. Complicating the matter is a series of statutory building schemes or covenants in Dean Park Estates that forbid secondary suites. President of the Dean Park Estates Residents Association, Richard Nordlund, says there are several building schemes within the neighbourhood, established when the area was developed in 1976. Since then, he said Dean Park has grown to approximately 784 lots. Nordlund added the majority of residents are opposed to secondary suites, concerned about changes to the neighbourhood and parking congestion, among other issues. The covenants, he pointed out, forbid secondary

suites in Dean Park Estates (DPE). named in those (private) cove“Yet,” he admitted, “DPE cannot nants,” he explained. Those covenants, he continued, enforce them via the courts (citing limited resources). It’s up to lay out what a property owner neighbours to go to court, if they can and cannot do in DPE and legal precedent has shown that want to.” Dean Park resident Colin Ross they can override local municipal added North Saanich’s secondary bylaws. Coun. Jack McClintock, who suites pilot program has not been successful, with limited response favoured expanding the bylaw, stated that nothing would change from property owners. in Dean Park if “I’m concerned “Parks are parks, council voted to that the District do just that. is putting its nose you don’t allow “The bylaw has into the DPE’s busibuilding in parks.” to apply to everyness,” Ross said. one,” he said.

properties to determine if there are any covenants. Coun. Heather Gartshore said the District’s single family home policy does allow for secondary suites as an acceptable use. “Zoning bylaws need to stand on their own but are not tied to privately-held covenants,” she said. Mayor Alice Finall said she supports excluding DPE from the pilot program expansion due the high level of opposition and confusion over how either the bylaw or covenants would apply. “I don’t think that it’s clear to either group what the issue is,” she said. Finall added that for her, the issue is whether the District should be looking at having secondary suites at all. Coun. Geoff Orr said he supports secondary suites in general, yet feels DPE should be excluded. However, he said because of the building schemes, DPE isn’t the District’s domain, adding its up to the residents’ association there to educate the community. Council’s vote to not exclude DPE from the secondary suites plan elicited angry comments from the audience, however, they did not give staff clear direction how to proceed. Buchan said staff had asked council to approve proceeding with the expanded bylaw, but that was not immediately forthcoming. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Co-Op gas bar gets green light CounCil nEWS

District of North Saanich Monday, Aug. 17, 2015 Steven Heywood News staff

• North Saanich council granted a variance permit, allowing a planned Peninsula Co-Op gas station to proceed and include canopy projections into front and side property setbacks. The gas station will be built on property at 10350 McDonald Park Rd. • At council’s committee of the whole session Aug. 17, an application for a proposed 13-townhouse project along Canora Avenue, across the street from the new Canora Mews residential area, was put on hold. The District will inform the proponent that the deferral is due to the council’s ongoing review of a housing policy enacted under the previous council. • Council has, under protest, made changes to its business and zoning bylaws to adhere to a provincial order that municipalities identify medical marijuana production as a farm use in the ALR. The District has been on the record as being opposed to such use of farm land and will express their displeasure in a letter to the province.

Taking leave is the tradition: Windsor Continued from page 1

“It has always been my understanding of Canadian tradition — and customs and conventions are important in this country — that one would request a leave of absence,” Windsor said. “If I was in her situation, that’s what I would do.” He added council as a whole has not formed an official opinion. Cormier said her decision to stay was representative of the citizens of Central Saanich electing her to be the voice on council matters and on committee projects.

OUR VIEW

Candidate on a tough road

licia Cormier is certainly bucking tradition by opting to remain a sitting member of Central Saanich district council as she carries the NDP banner into the federal election in

October. Cormier announced this week she will stay on as a municipal councillor during the campaign, two days after she was acclaimed as the NDP nominee in the riding of Saanich-Gulf Islands. She has said she will not accept her councillor’s salary during the campaign. However not stepping back flies in the face of past practice — that once a politician opts to seek a position with a different level of government in an election period, they step down from their current public role. This has been the case in a variety of jurisdictions and includes a former Central Saanich councillor. Adam Olsen stepped back from his duties as a municipal councillor when he decided to run for the B.C. Green Party. He announced his intent to leave district council in December, 2012 in the event he won the Green Party nomination. He succeeded and in April 2013, Cormier won a by-election to fill the vacant council seat. (Current Mayor Ryan Windsor became a councillor in that same by-election.) The main issue with a federal or provincial political candidate maintaining a municipal council seat is the chance of them using that role as a pulpit for their aspirations. While that may be an honestly--held opinion, it is a fact that other Central Saanich councillors — not to mention municipal politicians in both North Saanich and Sidney — are or have been members of various provincial and federal political parties. Yet, this is rarely raised as a major issue in their ability to carry out their job as a local councillor. The only difference, then, is when it’s time to run an election campaign. While Cormier may be well within her rights to remain on Central Saanich council, she will not escape calls for her to step back and take a leave of absence. It’s a long campaign and whether she stands up to that level of scrutiny and sticks to her guns on this issue remains to be seen. It might be easier to take the leave, keeping the door open for a return after the election.

Thanks to Sidney for relighting beacon The Vancouver Island branch of the Royal Commonwealth Society applauds Sidney council for approving the repair and re-lighting of Sidney’s beacon. Not only will the beacon light up the heart of Sidney again, but it could have reason to add light to Sidney’s many functions. For hundreds of years, beacons have not only given hazard warnings to shipping, but have also been used as celebration and have become a long unbroken tradition by the British to celebrate Royal Jubilees, coronations and other special occasions. At the millennium, beacons were lit at midnight around the Commonwealth, the first in New Zealand and the last in Sidney. I was among a small group of people who welcomed the millennium as Sidney’s beacon was lit. When the next occasion for beacons to be lit in Commonwealth countries around the world arrives, Sidney could have the distinguishing fame of being the last to be lit! Many thanks to the Sidney Rotary Club who, together with the gas company, originally donated funds back in 1998 to help build the beacon. I thank Kenny Podmore for helping me to get the repair of the Sidney’s beacon brought forward, maybe in time for September 9, when the Queen’s reign surpasses that of Queen Victoria to become the longest reigning monarch in British history — and certainly in time for her official birthday, April 21.

Size matters This weekend, I decided to enjoy the sunshine and take my family to a local park. After researching parks in our area on the internet, I stumbled upon something I find very disturbing. The District of Saanich lists the size of their parks down to the fourth decimal place. This type of accuracy, while still short of the five decimal place system used in most towns in Europe, makes choosing a park very easy and surely is not hard to accomplish with today’s technology. How do our communities on the Peninsula stack up with their listing

of park sizes? They don’t even come close. Central Saanich measures their parks to only two decimal places, which while shockingly lazy, is still better than North Saanich who only measures their parks in whole numbers. Sidney does not even list the size of their parks on their website, but appeals to the lowest common denominator with catchy buzzwords like “large” and “spacious” to distract people from their green space sizing transgressions. How am I supposed to plan a family trip to a park if I do not know it’s exact size, let alone it’s approximate size? While I will surely no longer visit any parks in Sidney, family time is far too valuable to waste going to parks of which we are totally unsure of their sizes and I find Central Saanich’s quasi-park sizing accuracy frustrating, I have some serious questions about North Saanich’s sizing practises: Do they ever round up park sizing? If so, at what fraction? They could be robbing residents of up to half an acre of land. Who makes the decision to round up? Is a democratic decision properly discussed by council, or does some unelected, unaccountable bureaucrat cheat us? I think it is high time for a complete audit of any and all funding allocated to park sizing in all three of these municipalities, as well as a full review of their park sizing practises. Residents deserve answers. Harper White Central Saanich

LETTERS Focus on the environment

Cormier should step away from council

Please stop the spot rezoning campaign to turn our beautiful seaside community into what will only end up as a dark and over built tunnel town. Four story, 20 units proposed at Oakville and Fourth Street. Brilliant. Where are they going to put all the cars? Most couples and families still have two cars minimum. 20 units x 2 cars = 40 cars. Take away 25 per cent and there are still twice as many cars as there is parking. Council’s approval of the Fifth and Bevan development, effectively stopping further improvements to a major access intersection into the downtown core is hard enough to understand. How about focusing on the environment for a moment? Without responsible environmental representation, which includes the right to maintain an acceptably visual sky scape, the best of economic development will eventually fail. When it gets harder for the general public to visit our quaint little town due to the congestion of traffic and lack of accessible parking and when the general public begin to see the areas of true concern just behind the flowered hedges, that is when it will already be too late. Council should reinstate the Town of Sidney’s Environmental Advisory Committee and start listening to the people that voted them into office — it was not only the half-dozen or so developers that seem to have council’s complete attention right now. Reg Kirkham Sidney

I attended a meeting of the Central Saanich municipal district council Monday, Aug. 17 and I was shocked to see Councillor Alicia Cormier sitting at the council table and participating in the discussions. My understanding is that she is running as the NDP candidate for Saanich-Gulf Islands in the upcoming federal election. To the best of my knowledge, the long-standing tradition in our electoral system is that when a person undertakes to run for political office in another jurisdiction, they should immediately resign their current position or, at the very least, take a leave of absence. Ms. Cormier was sworn into office as a councillor to represent all citizens of Central Saanich. It is a complete conflict of interest for her to attempt to use the status of that position of trust to further her interests as a candidate for one political party in an election in another jurisdiction. I call upon her to immediately withdraw from the Central Saanich council. In my view, anything less would show a complete lack of ethical understanding. Denis Coupland Central Saanich

BeefsAndBouquets

calling the SumOfUs/WaterWealth petition nonsense in the opening paragraph of his piece. Fortunately none of Fletcher’s punches land, being aimed at places the petition never stood. As a representative of WaterWealth I sincerely apologize to Mr. Fletcher if he took the words “suck B.C. dry” literally and mistook the opening comment for the whole conversation. We had not anticipated that and feedback we have received indicates that the public went well beyond that opening comment to understand the broader issues that the petition was about — primarily among them being to ensure that the Water Sustainability Act is sufficiently funded to be fully implemented. The review of rental rates under the Act, that the petition sought and that the province promised even before the petition was delivered, is but one more step in the ongoing work to ensure that the public’s voice is heard in development of strong regulations for the Water Sustainability Act, the first major update of B.C. water law in over a century. Perhaps Mr. Fletcher overlooked that the petition text was “Charge a fair price for Canada’s groundwater! Commit now to review the water rates!” Those rates, ranging from $0.02 to $2.25, apply to some 80 categories of water use. None of those 80 categories of use can be satisfied with either tap water or a jug from the fridge. Ian Stephen, Campaign Director, WaterWealth Project Chilliwack

Financial Savvy weighting between the TSX Index, the S&P 500 Index, and the MSCI World Index? How would that portfolio have fared? All three investments would have gained value — the TSX Index would be up 1.5%; the U.S. Index, 8.8%; and the broad World Index, 10.4%. In this instance, with equal-weighting amongst three broad world markets, the investor would have achieved an average growth of 6.9% over the six months. The lesson? Broad geographic diversification is highly likely to improve long-term returns, and will certainly have a major smoothing effect on volatility in any single region. Other than through geographic diversification, how else can the investor enhance longterm returns? A major positive decision is to ensure that most, if not all, holdings are dividend-payers.

Dr. Muirhead I don’t want to but I think I need my tooth pulled. What are my options? - Part 2 Last week we talked about a really effective option for replacing missing teeth: dental implants. But there are other options as well. But first lets review what happens when you lose a tooth. The first thing that happens is you lose bone and continue to lose bone throughout your life. Mouth bone needs stimulation or it shrinks. If you’ve ever seen someone without their dentures and noticed a difference it’s because they have lost bone. The other consequences are shifting of the other teeth into the empty space, gum loss and root exposure. The bite also changes and these teeth will be harder to clean and maintain. Even though an implant is often the best option there is another option called a bridge. A bridge is simply a tooth replacement that uses the neighbouring teeth as anchors to cement to. A bridge looks like three or more teeth but is really one solid

linked unit. Crowns or caps are placed on top of the teeth beside the missing tooth and cemented into place. Between these crowns is a tooth replacement that “bridges” the gap left by the missing tooth linking the teeth together. It’s main advantage is it stays in place and can last a long time with proper care. The main disadvantages are having to work on additional teeth, and a big change in how you floss, and eventual replacement from cavities developing under the bridge. However, a bridge can knock out two birds with one stone if you have already had extensive dental work on the anchor teeth and these teeth are headed for crowns. People may choose bridges for insurance reasons as well, even though the initial cost can be comparable to an implant. An implant will generally last a lifetime, wheareas a bridge will usually need to replaced within your lifetime. Regardless of the option you choose, I want to support you with the advice you need to move forward informed and confident with your decision. Next time we will discuss a final option -partial dentures.

From left, Derek Osman, Sandra Scarth, Leslie Pedlow and David Cooper stand by the St. Stephen’s Anglican Church sign as they prepare for the Wine Fest on August 29.

St. Stephen’s Church hosts regional wineries Aug. 29 Carlie Connolly News staff

The first ever Peninsula Wine Fest will be taking place Aug. 29 on the grounds of St. Stephen’s Anglican Church with seven wineries displaying their products for those attending to taste. All of the proceeds from the event will go to support community and youth programs. From 1 to 4 p.m., the event will feature wine tasting, wine demonstrations, tasty appetizers and live music. Attendees will also receive an etched wine glass as a take-home souvenir. On top of the wine events will

be a vintage car show with the Old English Car Club, which will feature around a dozen cars on display. David Cooper is one of the owners that will have his car on display. He labels his vehicle as a poor man’s Rolls Royce — a ‘63 Rover, three-litre car that he said is a rare one he has had for years and has driven around the province. He added the Queen has one as her private car. The event itself is family friendly, but pets are not welcome on site. The event will also see a pop-up wine store for people to purchase the wine they like at the end of the day, an area for children to play, a silent auc-

tion and tours of the church and cemetery. Organizers, who have worked hard to put the event on at the church gave thanks to Robert Thompson, the coordinator of the Flavour Trails, who gave guidance. Tickets are $40 and must be purchased in advance at www. ParishCS.ca or by calling 250652-1611. Admission is free for those not taking part in the wine tasting. Visitors are still asked to see the website to ‘purchase’ a free ticket, and to RSVP. St. Stephen’s is at 7921 St. Stephen’s Rd, off of Mt. Newton Cross Road in Central Saanich.

Point people in the racquet sport war between pickleball and tennis on the Saanich Peninsula were able to lob a few barbs at each other as they addressed North Saanich council’s committee of the whole Monday night. Brenda Hardy, representing the pickleball lobby, was there to urge municipal politi-

cians to follow through on a promise made by the previous council to paint lines on the tennis courts on Wain Road to accommodate their sport. This council did not do that and in a recent decision, opted to hold off after hearing from local tennis players. Hardy told council that there are 200plus active pickleball players on the Peninsula and their grow-

but their condition varies and their use — like those at the Mary Winspear Centre — are limited and may not last. Mayor Alice Finall said council did change

its mind on the Wain Road courts, explaining that when the previous group decided to add pickleball lines, they hadn’t heard from tennis players. “That’s what changed our position,” she said, adding the final decision on the matter has not yet been made. While saying there may be a joint-use solution, Finall states she favours building pickleball-exclusive facilities in the District, adding she will push for that option in council discussions. Hardy replied that her worry is that Finall’s position could take years, whereas players want lines painted on tennis courts now. That’s when tennis players pushed back. “We put in our own hard work (to get tennis courts),” said tennis player Susan Hirst. “So, that makes it hard to be described as elitist.” Hirst said there are between 400 and 500 tennis players in the area, noting that the culture of each sport is

quite different. “We don’t stand to gain from this, we stand to lose.” Hirst urged council to let the issue play out within the Panorama Recreation Commission, to determine future pickleball spaces. Hardy, on the other hand, opposed that, noting the issue has been before that commission in the past, with little result. “This is a new issue for this council,” said Coun. Geoff Orr, saying they are trying to work from the best information they have. “There are a lot of differing opinions.” Coun. Celia Stock said council last year did agree to paint the pickleball lines at the Wain Road courts, adding she does like the multi-sport court option, rather than separate facilities. By the end of the 50-minute discussion, council had not decided on any action, other than further discussion once the rec. commission makes their recommendation. Locally, the District of Central Saanich has agreed to add pickleball lines to the tennis courts they own at Centennial Park. In Sidney, council is looking at including planning for pickleball-specific courts in its 2016 parks plan and in the meantime, will be painting lines on one of their multi-sport courts.

Aggressive Outlander bucks the power trend WHISTLER – The moving back to a more Mitsubishi Outlander aggressive looking is a bit of an anomaly utility vehicle. Not all in the compact utility small crossovers need market. to look aggressive but While most the previous model was manufacturers so devoid of personality, sell 4-cylinder it blended into the or turbocharged background. The updated 4-cylinder versions 2016 model comes It is good to in great number, with a whole new front see that Mitsubishi it’s the V6 equipped grille treatment, front Outlander that is pumper, even available is moving back to the best seller here LED headlamps and tail a more aggressive in Canada, totally lamps. Mitsubishi might looking utility against the current be accused of borrowing trend. It might be from the recent Lexus vehicle. that the previous V6 front design; the bold Zack Spencer version was more chrome accents do look refined, quieter and similar to the Lexus had a conventional Spindle grille. Along the 6-speed automatic transmission, lower part of the doors is a metallic compared to the rather loud, trim piece that helps break up the lacklustre 4-cylinder model. Well, body. The top GT trim is the one that for 2016 Mitsubishi wants to build gets standard 18-inch wheels but on the success of the V6 model and they can be ordered on lower trim try to sell more 4-cylinder versions levels as an option. Same for the by paying attention to styling, power tailgate, it is reserved for the refinement and drivability. top V6 GT trim.

Looks The last update for the Outlander was just two years ago and it is good to see that Mitsubishi is

Inside The Outlander competes with the Nissan Rogue and Kia Sorento for buyers wanting a seven-passenger,

three-row compact crossover. Unlike the 4-cylinder Nissan, the Outlander only offers seating for seven passengers in the V6 models, so the Sorento is the closest competitor. Both share roughly the same dimensions too. The updates to the back seats include a much easier to fold second row of seats and the third row is still best for small children and only for shorter trips. The other changes are the new thicker steering wheel with chrome trim around the centre and new switches. The display audio screen has been updated to provide redundant tabs and switches around the outside; this treatment has also been used on navigation-equipped cars. Overall the cabin is well designed and roomy especially for the first two rows of seats. 4-cylinder models get a useful storage area under the rear cargo floor, the space used to store the third row seats in V6 equipped models.

There is new acoustic glass to remove road and wind noise, more insulation between the cabin and the engine compartment and attention paid to the continuously variable transmission (CVT). Mitsubishi claims that the updates to the 4-cylinder transmission reduce friction and the wider range of available ratios helps this vehicle make a run to 100km/h one second faster than the previous 4-cylinder. The 166hp 2.4L 4-cylinder engine has been carried over but the improvements made to this model have transformed this Outlander. It has gone from a rough and ready vehicle to a refined, quiet and pleasurable place to spend time. The 224hp 3.0L V6 is still the one to get if you want to tow up to 3500lbs. and the inclusion of a conventional 6-speed automatic makes driving a more predictable experience but this version felt heavier and didn’t handle nearly as well as the 4-cylinder.

Drive Another reason that Canadians opted for the V6 models in the previous version was the much better driving experience, something that needed, and was, improved for 2016 4-cylinder trim levels.

Verdict The 2016 Outlander starts $25,998 for a FWD 4-cylinder model. The base 4-cylinder AWD starts at $27,998. All V6 equipped Outlanders come standard with AWD and 7-passenger seating and the starting price is

$31,198. The most expensive GT trim tops out at $38,498. Mitsubishi is introducing a new trim for the 2016 model year that includes a lot of the higher end features found in the V6 but offer it in a 4-cylinder model. It is the ES Touring with a power sunroof, 18-inch wheels, display audio, satellite radio and few other goodies and it starts just under $30,000. Mitsubishi hopes this model, along with the other improvements to the vehicles refinement will win new buyers over. The Outlander competes with a vast field of small utility vehicle but the 7-pasenger V6 offer is what sets it apart; that and the impressive 10year warranty.

The value of any dividends would be an addition to marketvalue changes, further improving total returns. As always in any portfolio, minimizing holding costs is vital. Had the above-outlined holdings been held through Canadian mutual funds with their average annual Management Expense (MER) of 2.4%, the quoted Index returns would likely have decreased by a similar amount. With its high cost, a mutual fund tracking the TSX Index for instance, would, despite the Index having risen 1.5%, have resulted in an actual decline to the investor, of about 1%. If, on the other hand, the holdings were through the average Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) or Index Fund, the MER would have

averaged less than 0.4% — a full 2% lower annual cost. The lesson again? Reducing the holding cost of a portfolio by 2% has exactly the same effect as increasing the portfolio’s annual total return by 2%. These factors, as important as they are, must also be balanced by sound decisions on percentage allocation, not only within equity holdings, but also between equity and fixed income components — depending on one’s age, financial position, and level of personal, shorter-term risk tolerance. While equity markets historically show the greatest long-term returns, a fixedincome component nevertheless moderates portfolio volatility — an important benefit to many investors. The final lesson? Had an investor been tempted to jump in

and out of the market, trying to time its gyrations in the first six months of 2015, the odds are extremely high that he would have lost ground, compared to the investor who stoically stayed the course, following the above basics and remaining invested.

Nature inspiring art for Maria Powers

aria Powers is inspired by many things when it comes to making jewelry, nature in particular playing a big part.

“I used to see a leaf or a tree or a spiderweb or anything and I just needed to make something to represent it,” she said. Powers represents the Metis of Ontario in Kingston and she is currently living in Sooke. She has her creations on display at Aurea in Victoria, the Gallery at

Matticks Farm and at her own business, Mia Metals, based in Sooke. This month, her work is on display at the Mary Winspear Centre in Sidney, part of the First Nations, Inuit and Metis Art Show. Powers began her journey with artwork at Camosun College four years ago when she was taking indigenous studies. Starting out with seed beads on leather, she enjoyed it from there, wanting to do more. Powers later got into art and precious metal clay with sterling silver, bronze and copper. She then took metalsmithing courses and hasn’t looked back. Some of the art available at the art show is a sterling silver cuff, sterling silver ring, a link bronze, copper and sterling silver necklace, hand knotted pearls with a copper and sterling silver toggle to clasp together.

Trena Beer’s art started with one woman

epresenting the Metis Nation, Trena Beer discussed her moccasin designs on display at the First Nations, Inuit and Metis Art Show. When Beer’s mom received her Metis Card, Beer explained, she would follow along to Metis events, potlucks in particular

every month at the Victoria Native Friendship Centre. It was there she met a woman who agreed to fix her necklace. Beer said that woman showed her how to make the jewelry herself. She said she was also taught by that same person how to improve moccasins. Beer said the moccasins sold fast and she decided to focus her talents on them at a time when she found herself recovering her sobriety. “I started with the tiniest little hanging ones (moccasins) ... and expanded it all the way to the mukluk types,” she said. The art she has on display at the art show includes pouches and moccasins — and those are of various sizes, including baby moccasins, to children’s and adults. Beer also began working on cow bone bead bracelets. She does custom beading on the shoes, with whatever the customer wishes on them. The First Nations, Inuit and Metis Art Show not only features creations by local people, but it is a chance for them to sell their art as well. The show runs to Sept. 3 and is open every day of the week between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. reporter@peninsula newsreview.com

Showing plenty of Gratitude Ms. Maxine & One Wish perform in Sidney Aug. 27 Carlie Connolly News staff

Lisa Maxine Kjernisted who goes by Lisa Maxine or Ms. Maxine has been involved with music for many years, writing all of her own songs and will be performing at Mary’s Bleue Moon on Aug. 27 from 7:30 to 10 p.m. fronting her ensemble One Wish. She began playing years ago, supporting a friend, Sam Weber as back-up, playing the keyboard and doing a bit of singing. She began taking guitar lessons seriously 10 years ago, learning the craft of song writing. Around four years ago, Maxine had a bunch of material she wanted to record, so she hired a few guys she knew from Vancouver to help her out, and they recorded live off the floor, with

Carlie Connolly/News staff

Ms. Maxine is at Mary’s Bleue Moon restaurant Aug. 27 with her ensemble, One Wish. everybody miked and playing the songs over a bunch of takes. Her album Gratitude came out last June and the title came to her as a thank you to those who have helped her along the way. “It wasn’t just me getting here, it’s not about me, it’s about us,” she said. The name of her band, Ms. Maxine & One Wish, comes from old school, ‘70s-rock inspiration. As for the One Wish part, she says it fit nicely and she thought that everybody wants that one wish in their

life. The name simply had a positive feel to it and she says she is a Buddhist, with positivity a big part of her thinking. “Tell people what you want to see happen, not what you don’t want to see.” The band is a family band at the moment, seeing others step in time to time to play. “It’s jelled to be a family band but when I travel, I then play with other people or sit in with other bands.” When it comes to her song writing process, she starts playing a riff

on her guitar and the lyrics come to her that way. “There’s usually something that’s on my mind that’s stirring me, it’s like you’re stirred emotionally. The lyrics then just flow right out. It’s almost like being channeled.” She calls the band’s style alternative pop, not necessarily fitting into a specific genre of music. Maxine says a lot of the songs have a bluesy rock feel to them and many are inspired by social and political issues or simply relationships she has witnessed, adding angst to the music. “I try to make it more universal so that people can really go, ‘Oh man, I’ve been through that, I’ve felt that too.’ It makes it more attachable for them.” Performing at Mary’s, she said, has a great community feel to it, allowing her to connect with the people. Gratitude, produced by Ms. Maxine and Ed Johnson will be available for $10 during the Aug. 27 performance.

athroom renovations are one of the most popular home improvement projects in Canada. Creating your dream bathroom can add greatly to both the value of your house, as well as your family’s enjoyment of your home. The work also offers opportunities to include several features to dramatically improve the energyand water-efficiency of your house. If you’re thinking about renovating your bathroom, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) offers the following tips on how to make sure your renovation is as efficient, green and affordable as possible: • Install low-flow faucets, showerheads and fixtures, as well as ultra-low flush toilets that consume 6 litres of water or less per flush. Bathrooms account for about 75 per cent of the water used in the average Canadian home. Water-efficient fixtures can significantly reduce the amount of water your family sends down the drain. • To conserve resources and minimize your environmental footprint, select certified forest flooring and cabinetry, recycled countertops and tiles, and locally-sourced products and materials. • Plan for future renovations by making sure your bathroom will be able to adapt to changes in your

needs as you or your family members get older. For example, make sure the controls and fixtures are within easy reach, install grab bars beside the toilet and bathtub and use a non-slip surface in the bathtub or shower. • To cut down on your monthly utility bills, choose low-energy lighting and exhaust fans, install more energy-efficient ENERGY STAR® windows, insulate the hot and cold water pipes, and improve the insulation in the walls and ceiling wherever feasible. • Prevent the growth of mold by using moistureresistant materials and finishes, such as ceramic tile, natural stone or laminates. Also, make sure your bathroom has adequate ventilation to ensure that condensation, moisture and odours will be vented directly to the outside. • If you will be replacing any cabinets, fixtures or materials, plan in advance for how you can reuse, recycle or safely dispose of the old fixtures. • To keep costs to a minimum, avoid potentially expensive rework by identifying and addressing any concerns that might arise before you begin construction. Use quality, durable and long-lasting materials. Select a timeless, efficient design that will extend both the life of your bathroom and the time

until your next renovation. For more information about CMHC’s online Renovator’s Green Guide or for the answers to any other questions about buying,

owning or renovating a home, visit our website at cmhc.ca or call CMHC at 1-800-668-2642. For over 65 years, Canada Mortgage and Housing Cor-

poration (CMHC) has been Canada’s national housing agency, and a source of objective, reliable housing information. Source: CMHC

Glen Meadows Golf Club celebrates 50th year Carlie Connolly News staff

Glen Meadows Golf and Country Club celebrated its 50th year on Friday, Aug. 14. The event saw speeches from pro golfers, past and existing members, the president of the club, president of the curling club and president of the tennis club along with the owner and founder of the course, Percy Criddle. The golf club also held an open house on Saturday, seeing many members come out to enjoy live entertainment and a barbecue. Criddle thanked everyone for coming out to enjoy the grounds. He also got emotional as he spoke about his late wife who was an integral part of the golf club, commenting on how hard she worked. He went on to thank his existing family for their hard work, saying that it’s nice to have them involved in golf as well. In his 90s, Criddle still manages to get out and enjoy his sport. At its prime, the Club had close to 700 members. A pair of some of the club’s original members from 50 years ago, Brian Sluggett and his wife Marion, say they have enjoyed the golf club from the beginning. “I went out there and lost about 20 balls and I came back and said ‘yeah I think I’ll enjoy it.’ We used to have a lot of fun here,” said Brian. The couple come out to play two to three times a week.

“The people, the people here are really neat. This is just regular people who enjoy golf or curling.” – Don Malins of the club, including Doug Mahovlic, Dick Silverberg and Robin Hutchinson. Mahovlic said being at this golf club was some of the best few years of his life. “It’s a championship course. I hope everyone can enjoy it for

another 50 years,” he said. “Family owned, family run, I feel like family here as well,” Hutchinson, who is a current member, said in his speech. Peter McAuslan, the Men’s Club Captain, plays at the course four times a week and has been a member for only a few years. He said the course has the best layout of all the others around. Having golfed on many other courses, he enjoys this one a lot. “It’s been great to be a member here, I love the course, I love the layout.”

Marion Sluggett and her husband Brian, members from the beginning, enjoy their day celebrating the course’s 50 years. Don Malins, a member since 1981, said there have been quite a few improvements from when it first opened and he has enjoyed coming to the course for its layout and people. “Its a really good track. The people, the people here are really neat. This is just regular people who enjoy golf or curling and have a good time. I’ve never met anybody here who I haven’t enjoyed playing golf with or curling with,” he said. Three of the pro golfers came up to speak on the Friday on behalf
