Sidney resident Arlene Urness nearly became the victim of a scam. She placed an ad for her threepiece furniture set with an online selling service. A man, calling himself David, was the first to respond to the ad, stating that he was interested in purchasing the furniture and wanted to make an appointment to view it. A few days later, he said he was so busy that he just couldn’t make it. Urness said the man also said that he would buy it anyway and would send a cheque for the price listed of $1,800. Urness’s friend, who had done up the ad, sent him the address so they could receive the cheque in the mail. A few days later, she said they heard back from the man, saying he had made a mistake, making the cheque out for $2,800 instead of $1,800 so wanted $1,000 sent to him to cover the mistake. “As soon as it arrived (on Oct. 21), I took it by the corner and I went to the RCMP and I said, ‘I think there’s a cheque in here for $2,800 and I think it’s a scam,’” said Urness. The RCMP looked at it, she said, and told her that they had a feeling it was ‘off’. She also went to the Bank of Montreal to tell them they were being used in the scam, as their name was displayed at the top of the cheque. PleaSe See: Scam session Nov. 4, page 3

Forest symposium in Oak Bay Nov. 3 Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
Most tree loss across Greater Victoria is on private property, leaving a role for landowners in preserving the urban forest. With that in mind, Oak Bay Parks and Recreation, Habitat Acquisition Trust and Friends of Uplands park host the Urban
Forest Symposium slated for Nov. 3 in Oak Bay. With its Urban Forest Stewardship Initiative, Habitat Acquisition Trust completed land cover mapping of Greater Victoria. It shows significant tree loss between 2005 and 2011. To mark Tree Appreciation Day on the Saanich Peninsula, The Farmlands Trust will gather
volunteers and plant trees and shrubs on Central Saanich’s Newton Farm this Sunday, Nov. 1 at 10 a.m. The Trust recently signed a 10-year license with the municipality to maintain the farm. The Symposium in Oak Bay is Nov. 3 from 7 to 9 p.m. at Windsor Pavilion, 2451 Windsor Rd. — with files from Steven Heywood

The woman behind the scenes
Like us on
Raewyn Belson at work designing the set for Peninsula Players’ Christmas pantomime Carlie Connolly News staff
Raewyn Belson has been hard at work every day, preparing for the once-a-year performance put on by the Peninsula Players. This year, it’s the classic Jack and the Beanstalk and Belson is the set designer. She takes direction from co-writers and directors, Allan Haynes and John Watts on their ideas for the set. They meet as a group with the construction foreman to discuss how they are going to go about putting together the performance. “This is a very complex and complicated play, actually,” Belson said. With four scene changes, Belson created paintings using acrylics on a three sided board panel, which is called a periaktoi. This is a device used for displaying and rapidly changing scenes on a theatrical stage. “This year is the first time I think we’ve actually tried this,” said Belson. There are 10 boards in total adding up to 30 paintings — as they have three sides each. Belson said she was asked by the writers to do something more Disneylike and so the many large paintings she has done on the large boards are very bright and cheery. “They wanted it somewhat whimsical,” she told the PNR. Belson said there is 90 feet of painting to be done on the set, which she said is a lot. As a result, she has had to use half a dozen (panels) from another play and retrofit them by building in a village and a castle.

Set designer and painter Raewyn Belson gets ready for Jack and the Beanstalk. For this play Belson was given tiny little thumbnail sketches that came from ideas from Hayne’s and Watt’s friends in England. “So then I had to basically expand what I call a thumbnail sketch … of their basic idea to 90 feet,” she said. Originally from New Zealand, Belson has been involved with theatre both behind the scenes and on stage. An artist since she was just seven years old, she said she now does it daily as she prepares for the big Christmas performance. “I find that this is a wonderful, practical use for doing artwork rather than just
painting pictures and putting them (up) for sale.” Belson has been with the Peninsula Players for around five years and has been a part of many plays like King Arthur, Importance of Being Earnest, Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol and others. With Jack and the Beanstalk having 10 scenes and four scene changes, the quick transitions and different locations make for a challenge in set design. “It’s probably the most ambitious one so far,” she said.

OUR VIEW
Just ask, to avoid scams
I
f it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. That’s an expression worth remembering now — and as we get closer to the busy shopping season, a time when what we might receive at Christmas starts to cloud our minds. In fact, it’s something everyone, of any age, should have etched into their brains, as incidents of fraud and scams press on, seemingly unabated. That may sound a tad harsh or pessimistic. It should be a good thing if someone steps up and wants to hand over thousands of dollars — or a bridge — for seemingly no reason. Or at least for no reason a person would reasonably expect to have anything to do with them. Unfortunately, windfalls like that are usually pipe dreams. Whether it’s greed, a simple feeling of not wanting to upset people or for some other reason, folks fall for scams all the time. And so, the scammers keep calling, emailing and writing, hoping for a response — just enough to encourage the behaviour. And once a person and their money are parted, it’s exceedingly difficult for the authorities to get it back. Yet, police and financial institutions fight hard to try to prevent scams and the people who run them from taking advantage of people. Even so, we cannot rely on them. Individuals must be on guard — for the day will come when someone will try to weasel our hard-earned cash from our pockets. When that happens, and the whole thing makes you curious or uncomfortable, just ask questions. Ask them who they are. Ask for their phone number. Ask for their boss. And then ask to phone them back. And if you are still not feeling good about it, just hang up. It’s the equivalent of walking away from panhandlers on the street. Police continually tell us the best way to find out if something is a scam or not, is to call the agency purported to be offering the windfall. Contact them directly and ask if the offer is on the up and up. Most times, if it’s a bank or Canada Revenue Agency, they’ll tell you it’s a scam and you should ignore it. There are people out there who want to separate us from our money for nasty reasons. It’s up to us to know the difference between them and the legitimately good people out there. Sometimes, all it takes to be sure is to ask.

Editor not as reliable as the Bufflehead Letters to the Editor
In the frenetic period leading up to the federal election, the editor must have been run off his feet, attempting to cover all the events surrounding All Buffleheads Day. So he may be excused for not quite getting the facts straight, around the legendary punctuality of the Bufflehead. That is day 298 of the earth’s cycle, as measured from solstice. That means they return every 365.25 days — not 298 as the socalled guru is quoted. Day 298 is a remarkable constant, but day 297 is every bit as remarkable because the Buffleheads have never appeared on that day. It is a peer-reviewed scientific fact based on close observation of Roberts Bay for 17 different seasons. With a narrow statistical variation that makes it an uncontested world record. Far more reliable than the alas-mythical swallows of San Juan Capistrano in California ( not Italy as indicated). Sadly, these swallows no longer even appear in spring, because like many aerial insectivorous species, their populations have declined precipitously. And as for Groundhogs Day and Wiarton Willie — well, we have the real thing, a real bellwether of autumn storms and the oscillations of planetary Rossby waves that guide them. J. K. Finley Sidney

ing instructions for the fad called roundabout, but the fundamental problem is they are not a panacea. Even without the botched McTavish interchange, there are severe limits on usefulness of traffic circles. Multiple lane ones are not appropriate. Edmonton removed some because they slow traffic at high volumes. Many in the greater Victoria area are too small. Langford gets the prize for them, with Saanich a runner up. The error is trying to squeeze a roundabout into an existing inter-
section. And Langford cluttered its intersection with pedestrian-hiding shrubbery and the distraction of the Fountain of Folly. Oh, right. Do-gooder politicians look for cheap fixes. They deserve to spend two weeks a year navigating multi-lane roundabouts with six entrances. Keith Sketchley Saanich
Farms the best land use The Victoria Airport Authority has some land in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) by the Pat Bay Highway at Beacon Avenue in Sidney. Why is the Airport Authority not improving it for agriculture to produce locally grown food for us all to enjoy? Surely this would be the best use for the land and for the local community. Instead another shopping precinct is proposed. This in a region where empty retail abounds. There are numerous empty store fronts in Sidney, Brentwood Bay and Saanichton. Why on earth do we need more shopping? This development is being presented as ‘exciting’. This is exciting only to those developers hoping to make a profit. For the rest of us, shopping precincts and malls are the furthest away from exciting as you can get. This land should be improved and farmed. Bert Slater North Saanich

Forget the envy: be thankful you missed out on hedge funds H
ave you envied your well-heeled friends’ hedge fund holdings — wishing that you too had a portfolio large enough to participate in this exclusive and narrow investment opportunity? Forget the envy. Be thankful that you missed out on investing in this product. Hedge funds are sold as somewhat exotic investments which not only claim to outperform more traditional investments, but also to reduce downside volatility in times of major market corrections. These funds typically charge a two per cent annual fee, plus a performance fee of 20 per cent on any upside value growth — making them even more expensive than the 2.4 per cent average MER of Canadian mutual funds. Are the results worth
Peter Dolezal
Financial Savvy the high cost? Using data provided by Hedge Fund Research Inc., the average global hedge fund delivered, in the 12 years between January 2003 and September 2015, a compounding annual return of 0.94 per cent. By contrast during the same period, the U.S. “Couch Potato” portfolio of Index funds delivered an annual average total return of 6.3 per cent. Closer to home, the Bank of Nova Scotia’s Canadian Hedge Fund
Index shows that while Canadian hedge funds performed better than their global counterparts, they still fell significantly short of the performance of the CDN “Couch Potato” index-based portfolio. The comparison “Couch Potato” portfolio consisted of four equal parts: a CDN bond index; a CDN stock index; a U.S. stock index; and an International stock index. In the 10 years since 2005, the CDN globallyoriented hedge funds averaged a total annual return to investors of 4.38 per cent, compared to 6.7 per cent for the “Couch Potato” portfolio. Interestingly, the hedge funds’ totalreturn shortfall was approximately equal to the difference in fees charged. Performance figures of hedge funds also
tend to be overstated. Like mutual funds, many exit the market place. The number of disappearing funds is not insignificant. A Princeton University study concluded that between 1996 and 2004, about 75 per cent of hedge funds went out of business. The performance of the terminated funds is, conveniently, not included in the published results of the hedge fund sector. Hedge funds worldwide still comprise only about five per cent of all invested capital. With long-term comparative results such as these, one would think hedge funds would have difficulty maintaining, let alone increasing, their future market share. What about hedge funds claims that they better protect the investor in a severelyfalling market? Performance comparisons
during declining markets in the past 10 years demonstrates that the “Couch Potato” portfolio outperformed comparable hedge funds. What is the lesson in this? It reaffirms that much of the financial services industry bases its claims on the “illusion” of value it sells to
an uninformed public — including a significant number of wealthy hedge fund investors. It also affirms the lower an investor’s annual holding cost, the greater the likelihood of at least matching market performance. Chasing better-thanmarket performance
rarely succeeds. A retired corporate executive, enjoying post-retirement as an independent Financial Consultant (www.dolezalconsultants.ca), Peter Dolezal is the author of three books, including his most recent, The SMART CANADIAN WEALTH-BUILDER.

The B.C. legislation imposes a $230 fine for driving an unlicensed off-road vehicle, and a $368 fine for careless operation. For some offences under the Off-Road Vehicle Act related to reckless use or environmental damage, penalties can go as high as a $5,000 fine and six months in jail. Forests Minister Steve Thomson said the $48 licence fee applies only once when a vehicle is purchased and was set to recover the costs of the program administered by ICBC. Once startup costs are paid for, a portion of the licence revenue will go to off-road clubs to use for trail improvements, Thomson said. The province estimates there are 200,000 off-road vehicles that require licensing, including snowmobiles that have been licensed since the 1970s. About 35,000 of those have registered voluntarily since the new licences were offered a year ago.
Jeff Mohr, past president of the Quad Riders Association of B.C., said
his members are most of the voluntary registrants so far.
The licence system also allows police to track stolen vehicles.

Halloween all about fun for one Sidney resident Carlie Connolly News staff
Cobwebs, scary figures, a giant inflatable spider and tombstones are just some of the decorations covering the home of sisters Bonnie Patterson and Val Healey. Both women, who worked in elementary schools for years, bought the Mills Road home in Sidney five years ago and they’ve been in the spirit ever since. “We like kids, so we’re used to it. We’re not really witches,” said Patterson with a chuckle. She said she goes all out with decorations.
This year, decorating the yard took the better part of two days. Spooky creatures cover the entire lawn, trees and front of the house. “A lot of them are animated so once I connect up all the batteries, off they go.” Patterson said she got used to this sort of thing while working in the schools, adding it’s only Halloween when she puts in the serious effort. “I think it is one of my favourite times, I don’t know what it is. People can pretend … even little shy kids come out of themselves because they put on a persona. I think that’s what it is. I think it allows people
to just be different. Now retired, Patterson remembered back to when she was a little kid. “We always made our own (costumes) and
I’ve always made my own for my daughter and now my grandchildren.” She said she remembers trick or treating, going to bonfires and
simply running around in the dark on Halloween, which she said was really cool. “We always liked it as kids. I think when you’re little — we had
six kids in our family — you went out trick or treating. It was a big deal to get all those treats, so it’s more about looking at the kids and their faces.
“I truly enjoy it when the older ones come too. A lot of people think, ‘oooh the teenagers are coming,’ but they’re so respectful around here.”

“Its got a lot of artwork that has to be done.” One of the challenges she sees is the beanstalk itself, as the team tries to think of ways to incorporate it properly. With just over a month left to go, the production team has
had lots of time to work on the performance and continue their work as they prepare for the show. The Peninsula Players’ Jack and the Beanstalk will be on stage at The Berwick Royal Oak on Dec. 11 and 12 at 7:30 p.m. and Dec. 13 at 2 p.m. It will be at the Charlie White

All-new Civic a premium experience at compact price Alliston, On – Honda has pulled out all the stops to guarantee its all-new flagship Civic continues as Canada’s top-selling car for the 18th consecutive year. The first sedan rolled off the line at the Alliston plant in Ontario last week and yours truly had the opportunity to put 200 kilometres on the clock of an early production model. Truly, it is hard to imagine the manufacturer’s position in the compact market segment faces any serious challenge. Early examination suggests the tenth generation Civic will set a new benchmark in looks, performance, safety and fuel economy, to name but four areas important to today’s car buyers. The base model, which includes a list of standard features that mock its lowly position in the model pecking order, lists at just $15,750 (excluding taxes). The loaded Touring version doesn’t come close to 30 grand with its base sticker price of $26,990. On the business side, this car is a major Canadian business coup as it’s the first time Honda has designated a plant outside of Japan as the lead location for the manufacture of any product, let alone its most successful model. “Civic is a vehicle that Canadians have grown to trust. This tenth generation model will continue to set a new benchmark in the compact class with fun-to-drive performance, fuel efficiency and safety performance, together with

a high-speed computer game. A Civic is now rolling off the line at the rate of one every 63 seconds during each day’s production, so a variety of versions should hit the media test fleets soon. Therefore a more comprehensive review will follow when there’s an opportunity to put the different trims through their paces in local conditions. However, here are some quick initial observations, first on performance. Two new engines are introduced: a 2.0-litre i-VTEC power plant propels the base DX with the assistance of a six-speed manual transmission. The LX/EX ditto though there’s a choice of manual transmission or Continuously Variable Transmission (auto) in the LX and the EX gets the CVT. The EX-T and Touring versions get the turbocharged 1.5-litre
a new level of refinement,” said a proud Jerry Chenkin, president and CEO, Honda Canada Inc. “Canadians can also take pride in knowing that every Civic coupe, sedan and Si model sold in Canada is made right here in Ontario, for Canadians, by Canadians.” More than 4.5 million Civics have been built at the facility since 1988 and sales in Canada exceed 1.89 million units. The sedan is the first in a series of models that will also include a coupe, highperformance Si models, a 5-door hatchback Honda Civic circa 1977… and the first-ever Civic Type-R model for the Canadian market. DOHC direct-injected engine Set alongside an original 1.5-litre model from the 1970s that The anticipated fuel greeted us at the launch economy ratings for the location two hours away 1.5 with CVT is expected at Blue Mountain resort, to be around 7.6/5.5/6.7 in Collingwood, the sleek (L/100km) (city/highway/ car that goes on sale next combined) and for the 2.0/ month looks like a car from
CVT 7.8/5.8/6.9 (L/100km). The Touring trim tester I spun through rural Ontario drew its zip from the impressive 1.5-litre turbo unit. It moved smoothly through a much-improved CVT when accelerating on the flat and did not continuously search for the right gear on long inclines, as earlier examples typically did. It’s a global car so its design and performance were benchmarked against the best prestige European cars and it shows. Opening up on the rural route was a pleasure and despite the less than smooth road surface under the wheels, the cabin was remarkably quiet at speed and every bump was softened by the car’s suspension. The wheels are pushed to the four corners and the car has been lengthened providing great human cargo space for five, especially noticeable in the rear passenger area, and the trunk will swallow the week’s Big Shop at the grocery store. The interior is somewhat more refined and though the materials used are clearly better than previous models they are perhaps not as deluxe or soft-touch as Honda boats. Not a deal breaker though. In terms of tech toys, the optional touchscreen/audio system is compatible with Android Auto2 and Apple

The home front will play a larger role in the Sidney Museum’s annual Tribute to Veterans display in November. Spokesperson for the Sidney Archives, Brad Morrison, says the plan is to expand the scope of the historical display and include artifacts and documents detailing the hardships and sacrifices people made at home during times of conflict. “The idea is to bring it home,” Morrison explained. “What did the people do back home while the men were off at war?” Scrap iron was recy-
cled for vehicles, oils and fats used in the production of explosives and many other items were rationed. Morrison said this year’s display — set to open at the museum on Beacon Avenue early next week — will run to Nov. 13 and feature contributions from places like the B.C. Aviation Museum, private collectors, local bookstores and more. The focus on home life during the war years will augment the Museum’s tribute to local veterans.

Exercise the key to living with Parkinson’s Disease Tim Collins News contributor
When Dr. Becky Farley recently appeared at the Green Glade Community Centre, the message was clear: those people living with Parkinson’s Disease and Parkinsonism can improve their lives through exercise. Farley is the CEO and founder of the non-profit organization, Parkinson Wellness Recovery/ PWR. She is a trainer and advocate for the benefits of large amplitude high effort postures and exercises for those afflicted with the both diseases. In fact she has pioneered PWR/Moves, a program specifically designed for that purpose. That’s a program fully embraced by Sidney’s Jill Carson. She was diagnosed with PD in 2007 and had to stop work as a physiotherapist in 2009. But the onset of the disease led Carson to Dr. Farley’s work and a short time later she was certified as an instructor for Farley’s program. Carson has also become an advocate for others with PD and Parkinsonism. For example, she recently returned from Brussels where she was part of a documentary film production that dealt with some issues related to PD. Carson has also become an ambassador to the World Parkinson’s Congress (the next event is in Portland in 2016). But, according to Carson, her most satisfying achievement has been her work in establishing the ParkinGo Wellness Society, based in Sidney and Victoria. It’s a group, all living with PD, that exercises together at Greenglade Community Centre

Sidney’s Jill Carson demonstrates some of the yoga movements that can be beneficial for people with Parkinson’s Disease. in Sidney and at St. Nicholas Parish in Victoria. “The benefits of the program are amazing,” said Carson. “The exercises have a huge effect on slowing the progression of the disease and reducing the symptoms. We have people who have been able to reduce their medications by half ... and there’s one fellow who can drive his car again. It’s fantastic.” Carson said the program runs
HEALTHY ADVICE FROM YOUR SIDNEY DENTIST
Dr. Muirhead How can I stop my headaches without medications “My head hurts sometimes, I take medications to manage it but I’m worried about taking them long-term. I’ve visited quite a few health practitioners with varying results. Where do headaches come from? Is any of this related to my teeth or jaw? If so why?” Headaches are a significant interruption when you experience them infrequently, but as you experience them more and more f requently they can become debilitating or just start to become part of your daily life. Popping pills to manage them also becomes normal. There are many people with headaches that never get treated at the source. Our bodies are amazing at recovering and healing if we remove the source of the problem, but if the source remains the pain often continues in an off and on pattern. The most common pain felt among all humans is muscle pain. In our head and neck we have 50+ paired sets of muscles responsible for chewing, swallowing, talking, clenching, talking, jaw posture, neck posture and movement. These muscles attach and overlap our entire face, head and neck. This is a significant source of headaches! The reason a dentist often needs
to get involved in treating headaches is the majority of your head and neck muscles are connected to your jaw. Pain comes from the jaw muscles and the jaw joint. The jaw also happens to be attached to your teeth and attached to your neck, face, head, and collarbones by muscles. Complicating things is these muscles and joints refer pain to other spots on your head, much like a heart attack (a muscular pain caused by lack of oxygen) often refers pain up into the jaw. A jaw joint trained dentist can sort this all out and help you with your headaches by getting to the source with non-surgical treatment that will bring you relief and resolution. Jaw related headaches are frequently a result of a forgotten bump to the face, a “minor” car accident, clenching, or missing teeth that change how your jaw is supported. There are other causes. We have a proven method to confirm if your headaches are face and jaw related and bring about resolution of your headaches.
three days a week at both locations and interest in the group has exploded. “We had less than 20 members in February and now we are up to 68. The message is out there that people with PD can do something to make their lives better. It doesn’t have to be the end of life.” Please see: Organization addressing, page 16

program, Dr. Katelyn Roland. YOGADOPA incorporates special yoga moves for those with PD. “She does measurements of progress every three months and has seen some amazing improvements among participants,” said Carson. “We are so lucky to have her as part of our team. “The programs are so great because we are all in the same position. In the past, people who suffered from PD were unlikely to venture out because of embarrassment about their tremors and movements
PD and Parkinsonism Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and Parkinsonism display the same symptoms. Yet, according to Jill Carson, only about 15 per cent of those with these symptoms have true PD; a disease that shows a faster progression than what is seen in Parkinsonism patients. For the purposes of this article, the term PD was used to describe both groups.
and it kept them isolated and depressed. Suicides were common. But when we get together we encourage and push each other and no one is embarrassed ... we’re all in the same boat. We laugh a lot.” Carson said the
ParkinGo Society has been incorporated as an official non-profit organization and is looking toward its next steps to improving its program. “There really is nothing out there right now and while we’re thankful for the use of the
facilities that we have ... it could be so much better. The need is out there.” And that need is projected to increase enormously. There are currently an estimated 100,000 Canadians with PD but, according to Carson, it is estimated that an aging population could double that number by 2030. “People with PD have been ignored for far too long. We need to address the need now.” Details on Carson’s organization as well as advice on joining the group can be found at www.parkingo.org.

House construction stable in coming years: CMHC VICTORIA — Housing starts in British Columbia are forecast to remain relatively stable over the next two years, according to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). Construction, says the CMHC in its fall 2015 Housing Market Outlook report, will range between 25,500 to 34,100 units in 2016 with a point forecast of 30,800 units. In 2017, housing starts are forecast to range between 24,300 and 35,500 units, with a point forecast of 29,900 units. “Demand for new homes in the province will be supported by employment and population growth combined with low mortgage interest rates,” said Carol Frketich, CMHC’s Regional Economist. “Multiple-family homes will account for about two-thirds of housing starts. “Some moderation in demand for new singledetached homes is expected as mortgage interest rates rise later in the forecast period,” she added. Prices are expected to rise in most British Columbia housing markets as resale markets are forecast to remain active and sellers’ resale market conditions are expected to prevail. Multiple Listings Service (MLS(R)) sales are expected to range from 82,300 to 102,700 transactions in 2016, compared to a projected 99,000 in 2015. The average MLS(R) home price is forecast to
