Candidates make a final push Steven Heywood News staff

The federal election is Monday, Oct. 19 and this is the final weekend for candidates and parties to reach undecided voters — or shore up their support in ridings across the country. The PNR reached out to the four candidates in Saanich-Gulf Islands, asking about their plans for the weekend and what they hope voters will think about as they head to the polls.

Tim Kane says he has learned a lot about himself on the campaign trail in SaanichGulf Islands. The Liberal Party candidate is also realistic about his chances of winning in the riding, currently held by incumbent MP and Green Party leader Elizabeth May. “If I’m elected, there will probably be a Liberal govern-

ment (in Ottawa) as well,” Kane A said this week. D A “Honestly, I know CAN about the odds of that happening.” The Liberal Party has never won in SaanichGulf Islands, a riding created in 1987 out of two larger ones on the south Island. The NDP won the riding in 1988. In 1993, the Reform Party took it and — in the form of

either Reform, Alliance or the Conservative parties — held it until 2011 when May defeated Conservative Gary Lunn. Prior to 2011, the Liberal Party was always second or third in the polling results, coming the closest to unseating the right-of-centre parties in 2008 (losing by only around 2,600 votes) until 2011 when they placed a distant fourth.

Peninsula retains link to military unit North Saanich’s Murray Farmer is first civilian Honorary Colonel for the CScotR in recent memory Steven Heywood

“I thought at the time that the request was kind of odd, as I was never in the military.” Farmer said, however, he started thinking about it more and more.

News staff

urray Farmer admits he’s got a big learning curve ahead of him as he, a civilian, takes on the role of Honorary Colonel of Vancouver Island’s Canadian Scottish Regiment. Farmer, a resident of North Saanich, became the Regiment’s newest Honorary Colonel in September. He was welcomed in an official ceremony Sept. 12 at the Bay Street Armoury in Victoria, replacing his predecessor, Sidney’s Richard Talbot. The Saanich Peninsula connection is maintained with the army reserve unit, which welcomes Farmer as its first civilian in the role in recent memory. “This is new for the Canadian Scottish, but not for the military on the whole,” said Lieutenant Colonel Steve Sawyer, the Regiment’s commanding officer. The title, Honorary Colonel, goes back to feudal times when dukes and earls were asked to raise military regiments for the Crown. In essence, they acted as the unit’s patron and raised money, equipment and uniforms to outfit the soldiers. Sawyer said there’s some of that history in the local regiment — which was formed out of two area units, created by the civilian population during the First World War. Farmer’s appointment represents a change in the focus of the CScots on the Island. As the Canadian military has transitioned out of the conflict in Afghanistan, reserve units struggle with recruiting new people and holding

“I was born at the end of the Second World War and I have lived in peace all of my life. Other people have been called to serve, so maybe this is my turn.” Prior to this, he con-

tinued, he’d never been inside the Armoury, the Regiment’s headquarters in Victoria. PLEASE SEE: Role has fundraising, community, page 12

Hon. Col Murray Farmer addresses the troops of the Canadian Scottish Regiment during his change-of-command ceremony at the Bay Street Armoury Sept. 12.

Fast Facts: The Canadian Scottish Regiment The Canadian Scottish Regiment (CScotR) is Vancouver Island’s only infantry unit and consists of around 200 officers and regular soldiers. The CScotR is a reserve unit, meaning its troops meet once a week and train one weekend a month, in addition to other training opportunities throughout the year. The unit headquarters is Victoria’s Bay Street Armoury and has a second company based in Nanaimo. Soldiers from the unit have served domestically and overseas, including Afghanistan. Four members of the Regiment are credited with winning the Victoria Cross during the First World War. The Bay Street Armoury marks its 100th anniversary with a public open house Nov. 22 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. onto them. They also require more local support to ensure a high level of training as people’s attention turns elsewhere. Sawyer said he faces challenges retaining people,

whereas during conflict, it’s less of an issue. That’s the role of the Honorary Colonel — to increase the unit’s profile in the community and win support for their activities. As a

civilian, Farmer said he has much to learn about the unit but feels it’s important for him to take on the job. “I was approached about this close to two years ago,” said Farmer.

Vineyard lounge wins support Carlie Connolly News Staff

With a loud summer and noise complaints behind them, de Vine Vineyards looks towards a future with no more weddings and a new lounge. Owner John Windsor bought the property in 2007 and the vineyard had its first small crush in the fall of 2009. Their first wines went on sale in 2010. He said since then, they have grown steadily, building a good relationship with neighbours. This past summer, they held eight weddings and neighbours began to complain of the noise. “We found that even though you can interview your brides and the intended grooms carefully, you can’t interview their guests,” Windsor told the PNR. The whole issue with noise revolved around exuberant guests with the sound travelling to the quiet surrounding area. After receiving many noise complaints, Windsor decided that de Vine will no longer hold weddings. They are, however, looking to add a lounge area to the vineyard and sought an endorsement from Central Saanich municipal council. That request was presented to council last month and elicited letters from concerned neighbours.

Carlie Connolly/News staff

Owner John Windsor pours a glass of wine, produced at his winery, de Vine Vineyards in Central Saanich. After meeting with the neighbours several times, walking them through de Vine’s approach, nearly all of the neighbours changed their minds. “We’ve had a number of very good meetings with our neighbours who are actually anxious for us not to be damaged by this change. They’ve been very good,” said Windsor. Eight weddings were already booked for next year and Windsor said his staff will meet with the parties to discuss the necessary changes. The plan is that they will not be allowed to go past 8 p.m., which means they can have the ceremony and dinner at

de Vine, but not the reception. “The real purpose up here is to grow the winery and the distillery, so to do that you are looking to create relationships with customers all the time.” Windsor said the theory behind hosting weddings was not to make money from the event itself, but to introduce the vineyard to more people. “We are always seeking new relationships with people and have many relationships already,” he said. The proposed winery lounge licence will allow de Vine to use the interior and exterior (tent) to serve food with wine. The licenses would be restricted to 30 occasions a year, with various hours of

operation for each. De Vine is seeking an extension for the exterior part of their proposed license, allowing the booked weddings next year to be able to continue to 8 p.m. Windsor said the neighbours have been very good, showing their support for the current plans. “I’ll totally acknowledge the weddings were not what they wanted and wasn’t what we wanted either as it turned out, but they’ve been very supportive.” The license is issued by the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch (LCBL), and they invite comments from the municipality and residents. And so, de Vine has several letters of support from neighbours, along with council’s agreement to enforce the plan. On Tuesday, Oct. 13, District council approved an endorsement of the plan. That endorsement will be a part of de Vine’s application to the LCBL. In approving the endorsement, the council had conditions of their own, including hours of operation. A full list of details and conditions can be viewed on the Central Saanich website (centralsaanich.ca). Mayor Ryan Windsor, John Windsor’s son, excused himself from the debate and council vote, as he is in a conflict of interest.

Duncan man arrested for torching election signs SIDNEY — A 39-year old Duncan man has been arrested on suspicion of arson and mischief, after two Conservative Party campaign signs were burned on the Saanich Peninsula.

Police approached a man on Oct. 12 at 10:55 p.m. after receiving a complaint about the sign damage at Willingdon and McTavish roads. According to the Sidney North Saanich RCMP, the man

claimed to have lost his car keys, which led the police to find a propane tank in the back seat of his car. Members of the North Saanich fire department, which had also been called to the

OUR VIEW

Support arts or be drab

upport the artistic community of the Saanich Peninsula. And what better opportunity to do just that, than this weekend’s Sidney Fine Art Show and the opening of the ArtSea Festival. Run by the Community Arts Council of the Saanich Peninsula (CACSP), the Festival is 10 days of some of the more interesting work being done by local and regional artists. The event, for the last half-decade or so, has been growing and is now one of the largest events of its kind on Vancouver Island. Art studio tours, the Fine Art Show over three days at the Mary Winspear Centre, and local businesses opening their doors to resident artists — it all shows how supportive the community as a whole is of the collection of painters, sculptors, weavers and more, that we have on the Peninsula. Without art, it can be safely said that our lives would be drab. In one art form or another, we take pleasure — whether that be in a painting or a piece of music. Art, and the people who pursue it either through its creation or enjoyment, contribute much to the social fabric of our society. That’s why it’s important that we — and our community leaders — do our part to support the arts. In large efforts or small, doing so helps keep the people who make that art alive and well. Art is certainly subjective — some of it you either love or hate. In either emotion, we feel something. In that alone, art has done its job. Without our reactions to art, we lose critical thinking, we lose an outlet of discussion, of opportunity to expand our minds. Yes, art has the ability to do all that and more. Without it, we can safely say our lives would be significantly more boring. So take in what the Peninsula’s art community has to offer this month during ArtSea Fest. There’s little chance you will regret it. Correction In Wednesday’s editorial on the last push before the election, our force of habit kicked in and the wrong times for the polling stations were published. On Monday, Oct. 19, voters can go vote between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Sorry for the mistake.

Advance polls were not well organized Letters to the Editor

I voted today (advance poll) at the Shoal Center in Sidney. I spent a full hour in a line up where two of a staff of at least six were busy. They had only one table for voters who were prepared while two other tables sat with one person doing crosswords, another texting someone and a third off somewhere. It reminded me of a situation during my working days where a group we were working with were totally disorganized and my boss said, “They are like government, couldn’t organize a two man rush to a three hole outhouse.” Hooray for Elections Canada. R. MacKenzie Sidney

The business of voting We were among the millions of voters who had to exercise patience to cast a vote in the federal election (advance polls). On the wall was a 1-800 number to ask questions and raise concerns. I watched one of the information officers work his way through the lineup answering questions and the only question seemed to be “Why is it taking so long?” Once you entered the room; there was the answer; one voting station. If you were one of those Canadians who picked up the phone and called Elections Canada to ask why they didn’t add additional voting stations to fix the wait time problem, what you would have got was, “I voted yesterday and had a long wait as

well.” What kind of nation have we become, when the people who have the tools to fix the problem excuse inaction by jumping in your hole? Why is federal voting so draconian? Perhaps less money spent on campaigning and more on bringing voting standards up to, I don’t know, those of municipal elections. Get your ballot, mark your box, feed it into a machine. Takes all of three to five minutes. For a country who wants to improve voting, they sure are cre-

ating a system to frustrate people and further by doing nothing. People are not trained the night before an election to work at polling stations. Could they not pick up a phone and call in extra forces to accommodate voters? Businesses do it every day. Isn’t this election about the economy? If people had to wait two or three hours to be served, what do you think would happen to your business? Jo-Anne Berezanski North Saanich

Flawed, but all we have After Oct. 19, campaign offices will close and all who have worked to get their party’s message out to voters, will return to their usual routines. Without these committed volunteers, we could not achieve even the flawed democracy that we have in Canada. Neither could our democracy be achieved without citizens’ willingness to participate. This is at the heart of our electoral process. Those who have served us as candidates deserve our appreciation as they have personally given every voter the opportunity to learn about the policy differences between the parties. Whatever the outcome of the election, volunteers who believe in the values of the party they work for will continue to oil the machinery of our democracy. Starla Anderson Victoria

CANADA VOTES! Questions to the candidates:

Infrastructure and local issues: the candidates respond Black Press newspapers the Peninsula News Review and Saanich News posed a series of questions to the candidates in the riding of Saanich-Gulf Islands — a riding that both publications share. Today, the PNR concludes the series. How would your party address the need to strengthen Canada’s infrastructure and what project would you say is the highest priority for your riding? Robert Boyd Conservative Party Since taking office in 2006, our government has invested heavily in Canada’s infrastructure, in partnership with provincial, territorial and municipal governments. We have worked to build modern and efficient public infrastructure across the country, and right here in Saanich. Some of our accomplishments include: • creating the Building Canada Fund and the New Building Canada Fund — the largest infrastructure investment in Canadian history. • invested significantly in infrastructure through the Economic Action Plan. • made the Gas Tax transfer to municipalities permanent. • created the new and innovative Public Transit Fund, investing $750 million over two years, and $1 billion thereafter, to modernize public transit infrastructure in Canada’s large cities • launched the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program to help fund the renovation and improvement of existing community infrastructure in honour of the 150th celebration of Confederation. Alicia Cormier NDP An affordable home, a reason-

The polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. Be sure to check your Elections Canada voter registration card for your specific polling station. able commute and modern municipal services and amenities are top priorities for Saanich-Gulf Islands (residents). The NDP will increase gas tax transfers to municipalities by $1.5 billion to enable stable investments in core infrastructure and $1.3 billion per year to get cities moving with new, multi-year funding for transit. We will also invest in affordable housing and create 10,000 new rental units. Appoint a minister for urban affairs to speak for cities and towns at the cabinet table. The NDP will also inject $9 million into natural disaster prevention and relief as Western Canada reels from one of its worst wildfire seasons on record and is committed to restoring $7 million in annual funding to a Joint Emergency Preparedness Program to bolster training and equipment against natural disasters. Funding will also provide for adding 2500 new RCMP positions across the country. Tim Kane Liberal Party Liberals believe investing in infrastructure is vital to creating middle class jobs today and sustained economic growth for years to come. Every dollar spent on public infrastructure grows and makes our economy more competitive, while creating jobs, strengthening our communities and improving our

health, well-being and quality of life. Liberals will make the largest new infrastructure investment in Canadian history. Our plan will: • Nearly double federal infrastructure investment to almost $125 billion — from the current $65 billion — over the next decade, reaching an additional $9.5 billion by year 10; • Make an immediate down payment to kick-start job creation and economic growth by doubling the current federal infrastructure investment in each of the next two fiscal years; • Provide new, dedicated funding to provinces, territories, and municipalities for: public transit infrastructure, social infrastructure and green infrastructure • Increase the transparency of the New Building Canada Fund by providing clearer project criteria and faster approval processes that will now prioritize investments in roads, bridges, transportation, ports and border gateways, and; • Help fund public infrastructure projects by creating a new Canada Infrastructure Bank. Elizabeth May Green Party Our economic plan invests in strong communities as the foundation of a strong country, and will provide the necessary funding for infrastructure to make that vision a reality. The gap between the infrastructure funding our cities and towns need and the funding they receive, is reaching crisis levels — Canada’s infrastructure deficit is estimated to be upwards of $350 billion. We will work to close this gap by committing $6.4 billion per year, one point of the GST, to municipal infrastructure — providing stable, long-term funding to Canadian municipalities, creating good local jobs and building vibrant, safe and Continued on page 8

elected Conservative government will protect our fragile economy for the next four years. Alicia Cormier NDP We need to replace the Harper government. The challenges facing our country are numerous and the solutions are long overdue. We need to act now on so many fronts — environmental, economic and social. If we really want to change our national government for the better, with a clear

mandate for progressive change, the best chance we have right now is to form a majority NDP government with Tom Mulcair as Prime Minister. We will take real action on climate change, establish a fairer voting system and rescind Conservative legislation that has stripped protection for our environment and democratic rights. We will build meaningful partnerships with First Nations and invest in communities, families and your retirement security.

We will fund these investments by making large corporations pay their fair share, eliminating gas and oil subsidies and other tax breaks that only benefit the wealthy, and going after the hundreds of billions hidden away in offshore tax havens. We will also invest in local tourism, agriculture and reduce taxes for small and medium sized businesses. To form an NDP government, every seat counts, including Saanich Gulf Islands and Continued on page 9

every vote counts, including from each and every one of you. Tim Kane Liberal Party I believe the single most important issue in this election for citizens in this riding, and for all Canadians, is trust. Canadians have

lost trust in their government. There have been times when citizens have disagreed, or have disapproved, or have even been deeply disappointed with the federal government, but this is the first time in my experience when people simply don’t trust the Prime Minister. Canadians want

Election messages for the weekend Continued from page 1

For the Liberals to make a breakthrough here, Kane said, it would have to mean Canadians want a wholesale change in government in Ottawa. “It would be great news if so,” he said, “for that would mean change (not only) here, but across the country.” As the final weekend approaches before general voting day Monday, Oct. 19, Kane said he has seen volunteers and donations to his campaign office increase and the mood is positive. As for himself, Kane said he learned how passionate he can be to want to help people. “The campaign changed me,” he said. “I’ve never been so impassioned by the work I’ve set out to do.” Kane added he’s working hard as the final weekend approaches before voting day and wants the electorate to know he’ll continue doing so, under Justin Trudeau’s leadership, after Oct. 19 — should Canadians decide in their favour. NDP candidate Alicia Cormier is also pinning her hopes on a change of government nationwide. She said she’s excited by

the prospect of her party forming government in Canada, noting that she’s not taking any stock in national polls showing a Conservative minority government in Ottawa. Polls, she said, can be wrong. Cormier is sticking with the NDP’s main campaign talking points as she looks to meet as many people as possible this weekend. This is her first federal campaign and has blended provincial and federal NDP polices into her speeches and interviews. “It’s an important election,” she said. “Our platform does provide lots of benefit for Saanich-Gulf Islands. I’ve been part of a real good team in the NDP.” Cormier said she thinks the country needs change and a move away from the rich and corporations being taxed unfairly. “Thomas (Mulcair) is taking a stand that’s reflecting Canadians’ values.” Green Party leader and incumbent MP Elizabeth May will be in Ontario and on Vancouver Island this weekend, helping local candidates in ridings that could potentially turn Green on Monday.

Seniors Beware I was appalled to realize that Elizabeth May is proposing and supports an estate tax.

“We have stayed positive throughout the campaign and I’m pleased that the issues I’ve raised (health care, pharmacare, student debt) were picked up by the other party leaders,” May said. “These were issues people were not talking about.” May wants voters to realize they can vote for who they want to and the policies they want to see in Ottawa — and not be dictated by fear. “By all means please do (vote for the Green Party),” she continued. “Don’t let fear or anyone else frighten you off. Vote for what you want.” May said the Island is looking like it might elect more Greens in this election. She said there are tight races here, in Guelph and Thunder Bay, Ontario and in some Quebec ridings. Greens, she said, are in strong positions there and electors could vote more Green MPs in on Monday. May encourages voters to think about the parties, not the leaders, as that’s what they are electing — not the parties’ respective leaders. Even the leaders, she said, are only on a single ballot.

They have already paid taxes on this money all their lives and now Elizabeth May wants to tax this same money again, “double taxation.” I would never try to suggest who you vote for but I would strongly suggest you ask the candidate of your choice to state in the public what their party’s position is on this outrageous “double taxation.” Charles Danbrook, Saanichton, BC. 250.652.4928

key issue is affordable housing, with its twin challenge — convenient public transportation. Another key local issue with national dimensions is food security and local food.

HEALTHY ADVICE FROM YOUR SIDNEY DENTIST

What is an “estate tax?” Two things, a tax on the dead and “double taxation.” Hard working folks have worked all their lives to set aside money that they can leave to their loved ones when they pass away.

Dr. Muirhead When should my child or grandchild start orthodontics?

This approach has the benefit of avoiding taking out adult teeth and avoiding jaw surgery. It also avoids high school graduations! Starting early between ages 6-10 with orthopaedics can shorten the time needed for tooth alignment and sometimes eliminate the need for braces altogether. If braces are chosen later on the orthopaedic treatment is subtracted from the usual fee for braces not added to it. This approach leads to beautiful faces and smiles, and believe it or not healthier airways, teeth and gums. The best time to start is today!

The economics of the long political campaign

n 2007 the Federal Elections Act was amended, mandating that elections be held every four years on the third Monday in October, unless, prior to that date, the government loses the confidence of the House of Commons. This year, election day falls on October 19. In recent federal elections, campaigns have lasted 37 days. This year Parliament was dissolved on August 2 — thus signalling an early start to the official 2015 campaign. We are now nearing the end of the longest federal election campaign in the history of Canada — 78 days from dropping the writ until election day. Aside from the wear and tear on the more than 1,000 candidates running for office, and the gruelling toll on party leaders, this extended campaign period represents a major cost for the taxpayer.

“Should whomever becomes Prime Minister actually implement all campaign promises, avoiding deficits over the next few years will be very difficult — likely impossible.” – Peter Dolezal

Peter Dolezal

Financial Savvy It is not the cost of the campaign itself; that is financed by the political parties. Rather, it is the leaders’ almost daily deluge of never-ending spending promises, should we choose them and their party to govern the country for the next four years. Elizabeth May, leader of the Green Party, is the proponent of a lot of great ideas — unchanged since they were announced, and reasonably costed. Regardless however, of how logical key elements of the Green party platform

CANADA VOTES! Continued from page 9

May said the most important message for all voters this weekend is to come to a decision not based on fear. “I am so grateful for the support shown by the citizens of Saanich-Gulf Islands,” she said. “I will keep up my end and keep up my hard work in Ottawa and in my constituency.” Conservative Party candidate Robert Boyd has been working hard this campaign. He said what he has heard on the many doorsteps, at meetings and coffee parties, is that this election is about protecting Canada’s economy. “It’s about keeping taxes low and supporting families and seniors,” he said. “The Conservatives are the only party who plan on keeping taxes low and in fact we’re going to get them lower — and we’ll do that by balancing the budget.” Boyd said the Liberals are going to raise people’s taxes and that will have an impact across the country. In Saanich-Gulf Islands, Boyd said the high seniors population means whoever wins on Oct. 19 will have to support what he called the fastestgrowing sector in the country. General election day is Monday, Oct. 19. The polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

may be, we know that in this election, they will not form government. The three major party leaders, urging us to usher them into the Prime Minister’s office, almost trip over themselves with continuing spending announcements. These promises range from the millions to the hundreds of millions — and even billions of dollars. Each claims to identify a matching source of additional revenues to fund the expenditures. Many of these offsetting revenues however, can best be described

as ranging from “back of the envelope” calculations, to outright nonsense. After many years of deficits prompted by the 2008/09 worldwide financial crisis, we will be handing our Prime Minister and his government a balanced budget. One thing is certain. Should whomever becomes Prime Minister actually implement all campaign promises, avoiding deficits over the next few years will be very difficult — likely impossible. One party is, in fact, campaigning on the merits of running a significant “planned” deficit for some years to finance its proposed spending. Perhaps our saving grace will again be that many campaign promises are often forgotten once a party secures its place as government. Our system of democracy gives every party the unfettered right to promise anything it wishes — then,

if elected to government, to carry out those promises, or not. It does seem bizarre to realize that it is our, the taxpayers’ money, being used as a carrot to attract our votes. The parties and their leaders will defend themselves, claiming that they are simply laying out and costing their platforms. Fair enough, but let us recognize that we are willing participants in a campaign largely based on costly promises — the economics of which are often myopically justified through rosecoloured glasses — and ultimately, funded by us. Much as we rail against these attempts at what is really a legal form of vote buying, we know that a better system of democracy is not to be found. All we can do is vote for the party with the platform we feel presents the most credible option for us, our region, and Canada. We can also be grate-

ful that, as lengthy as our current campaign is, it is of minimal duration compared of the one currently under way in the U.S. One can only imagine the extra litany of costly promises that would emerge if we had more than one year of campaigning. Agree or disagree with this rant on election promises — it is your right. On October 19 you will have the privilege to contribute your voice to a very important decision on the future of our country. World-wide, countless millions can only dream of this same opportunity. Do not squander yours! Please vote on October 19.

Poet Lane a Gov.-Gen. award finalist NORTH SAANICH — Poet Patrick Lane is a finalist for the Governor General’s literary awards. Lane’s collection of poetry, entitled Washita, was published last year and is on the short list among English books of poetry up for the prestigious award. Lane, who lives in North Saanich with his wife and awardwinning writer Lorna Crozier, is up against four other poets for the award: • Kayla Czaga (Vancouver) For Your Safety Please Hold On • Liz Howard (Toronto) Infinite Citizen of the Shaking Tent • M. Travis Lane (Fredericton, N.B.) Crossover • Robyn Sarah (Montreal) My Shoes Are Killing Me The awards are handed out by the Canada Council for the Arts and winners in seven (English language) categories — poetry and drama, to non-fiction and children’s literature — receive $25,000. Non-winning finalists each receive $1,000. The Governor General’s Literary Award winners will be announced Oct. 28 at http://ggbooks.ca. — News staff

Now, the Scottish makes a transition to a full civilian as Honorary Colonel. “I wish him every success and that the Regiment provide him every opportunity (to succeed).” Farmer is no stranger to giving back to the community. His family established Farmer Construction on Vancouver Island and he served as Chancellor of the University of Victoria until January of this year. Earlier this year, his family donated a large sum of money to the university for a sports wall of fame in the new campus gymnasium building. His role with the Regiment, he said, does not come with any specific agenda, yet there is a fundraising element. “For the local militia, the Canadian government supplies their essential needs for training. The more nonessential things are my focus.” Those include their formal dress uniforms, ceremonial functions and more. Farmer said his generation made up a golden era in this country, as it experienced a prolonged time of peace — and for the most part, the Island and the nation still is. After being asked if he would fill the role, Farmer said it is his chance to do his duty.

City/highway fuel economy is rated at 14.7/10.3 L/100km (3.7L V6) and 14.1/9.7 L/100 km (2.7LV6). If parking is not your favourite pastime Lincoln MKX has a

couple of new technology solutions. An enhanced park assist system, offers 360-degree camera coverage to provide a birds-eye view of the vehicle (and up to almost two metres all around it), making any low-speed parking situation easier. An even more advanced “auto-pilot” parking system, with 12 ultrasonic sensors, can now guide MKX into a perpendicular

parking stall, in addition to parallel parking assist and park out assist. Like most vehicles in this class, numerous helpful driver safety aids are available for the MKX and include adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping system, blind spot information system and cross-traffic alert. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

t just 22, Tyler Shaw has had quite the journey. He started writing music at 13 and that’s the root of the name of his debut album, Yesterday. The album was released in September and includes the title track, which he says was his first big hit when he was younger. His family and friends loved the song and it was the song he played at his high school talent show — which was another reason he chose that as his title. “I do believe that whatever you do today kind of reflects on who you are tomorrow,” he says. “So this whole album is basically what I’ve done in the past to make me who I am today.” Shaw’s first time in Sidney comes Oct. 18 and there will be at least one special guest among the crowd at the Mary Winspear Centre to welcome him. “I actually have a grandmother who lives in Sidney so she’ll be coming to the show, which is awesome,” he told the PNR. Shaw’s success broke through in 2012 when he won the MuchMusic Coca Cola Covers Contest, going straight into releasing his debut single, Kiss Goodnight.

Allison Crowe brings new band to Sidney’s Winspear Centre Carlie Connolly Currently residing in Newfoundland, the Nanaimo-born Allison Crowe is making her way back to the west to perform — and this time she’s not alone. Crowe has performed solo for more than a decade and has made a change and formed a band this past summer. “We’re just sort of getting going so it should be a lot of fun,” she said. The band consists of Dave Baird on bass, Billie Woods on guitar and vocals and the newest member, Celine Greb who plays cello and sings. “It’s a group of people. We all do different things and play different instruments and have different jobs,” Crowe laughed. In a hybrid of Canadiana, Celtic, jazz, roots, folk, soul and original rock, Sidney’s Mary Winspear Centre on Oct. 23 will be the first stop on the short tour for Crowe and her band as they will head out to Nanaimo and Vancouver after. Crowe said she loves the Charlie White Theatre and said it’s a beautiful, intimate place. Her love of music began when she was around five years old when she began taking piano lessons. From there, her musical interest grew. When she was out of high school, she began working as a musician right away and never looked back. The B.C stops will be her and the band’s first full length tour together and they will be making their first recording in White Rock for a new album. They will be playing music live off the floor and record the same

Shawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music is inspired by the simple, everyday things He was asked by Kelly Clarkson to join her tour this fall, opening for her and Nick Jonas. Unfortunately the show was cancelled due to Clarkson having vocal strains, but nonetheless Shaw says he is still thankful for the opportunity. The young artist went from performing to small crowds at campus pubs to performing in front of 20,000 people on the Canadian We Day tour. With his growing musical success also came an opportunity that Shaw will never forget â&#x20AC;Ś his trip to Kenya in 2013 with Free the Children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people who live out there, they have stick houses and tin roofâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, they have soccer balls made out of rope and plastic bags, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re unbelievably happy, always a smile on their face, always

engaging and just laughing, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really cool thing to see.â&#x20AC;? So far, Shaw says his experience has been overwhelming but fun at the same time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyday Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m learning something new, everyday itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fresh day â&#x20AC;Ś Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not doing the same thing everyday.â&#x20AC;? When it comes to what inspires him in his music, he says it could be anything from a word he uses in a conversation to a ladybug landing on a good-looking girl. Whatever the case may be, Shaw finds a way to write about it. He also finds ways to keep positive with his motto being â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Never Give Up,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and he tries to inspire in listeners the same positive attitude he brings to his own life and music.
