Tsawout proposal goes public Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

Christine van Reeuwyk/News staff

Remembering the Holocaust Maud van Aerts adjusts her tree that’s all about Anne Frank. It is part of the display at North Saanich middle school during its third Holocaust Museum open to the public this month. See the story, page A9, and the photo gallery at peninsulanewsreview.com.

National Bank Financial is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of National Bank of Canada which a public company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (NA: TSX).

After years of seeing development denied for lack of access, one former Tsawout chief is starting to see structure form from a dream.

Jesken Town Centre is in the early phases as a proposal, but further along than anything Allan Claxton has seen in two decades.

“This has been a dream of mine, this proposed development,” Claxton told Central Saanich council Monday night. “It never happened the 20 years I was chief.”

The Tsawout councillor who served as chief until elections last year sees the tax revenue as creating self-sufficiency for the community.

“My people can finally have independence from federal government … so we can be able to look after ourselves and enjoy what this beautiful Peninsula has.”

It’s a goal echoed by his fellow councillor Toby Joseph.

“I know what an opportunity like this can do for our people … take us from a position of dependence to independence,” Joseph said. “We want our people to do, not to accept anymore. This is something we can do for ourselves with our partners.”

The proposed Jesken Town Centre is 650,000 square feet of new outdoor retail on 70 acres of Tsawout land near Highway 17 and Jus Kun Road with two or three large retailers, four or five mid-sized retailers and opportunities for smaller businesses and restaurants.

Airshow antics return to Peninsula

POLICE NEWS IN BRIEF

Thief stops for snacks in Central Saanich B&E

An open back door alerted a resident that things weren’t right when she arrived home around 4:30 p.m.

Monday, Feb. 6. The resident came home to the 6900 block of Central Saanich Road and discovered the back sliding glass door open.

It appears someone came in through an upper bedroom window. The thief stopped for food and liquor before leaving through the back door with a laptop and jewelry.

Snoopy, Bloody Red Baron brace for a return to battle this summer Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

Victoria’s Largest Little Airshow will buzz the fields of Central Saanich this summer after a one-year hiatus.

“We’re back in the saddle,” said organizer Mike Scholefield. “We’re hoping to have a couple new novelty things, but generally it will be similar to past years.”

Previous antics of the radio controlled aircraft included Snoopy atop his doghouse battling the Bloody Red Baron and a flying lawn mower.

In 2010 the show put on by the Victoria Radio Controlled Modelers Society celebrated 10 years of raising funds for the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation and Santas Anonymous.

“It keeps our awareness of what the club is and what the club does for charities in people’s minds,” Scholefield said.

“We get to have fun for the two days and get to play with our toys and show off the models to the public. But the best part is being able to do something worthwhile for our community by raising funds and donating to the two charities.”

Last year, Mark Byrne was one of four Canadians who travelled to Indiana for the FAI World Championship, competing against some 90 other pilots in an event dubbed the Olympics for model aircraft owners.

Unfortunately he was the key organizer of the air show and with no one able to step in, the 2011 show was cancelled.

“It’s good to be back. The cause is what’s important,” Scholefield said.

Since its inception in 2000, the event has raised more than $140,000 divided equally between Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation and Santas Anonymous.

“We’re thrilled that the air show is coming back,” said foundation president Lorne Jack. “It’s a wonderful community event, we love participating in it and the organizers have always been extremely generous.”

Organizers estimate 4,000 to 5,000 people come out for the Central Saanich show. They provide a midway atmosphere adding static displays, face painting, a concession and balloons to the air acrobatics.

“Admission is by donation, and we encourage people to come out with their family to enjoy the day,” Scholefield said. Victoria’s Largest Little Air Show will be held at Michell Airfield on Lochside Drive, east off of Island View Road. Shows run 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Aug.11 and 12.

Anyone interested in getting involved in static displays or demonstrations should email mmscho@shaw.ca or rctest pilot@shaw.ca. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Arachnophobia causes highway rear-ender

A wayward spider is blamed for a rear-end crash on Highway 17 at the Island View Road intersection.

On Feb. 3 around 7 p.m. a driver stopped for the light when his vehicle was rear-ended by another. The woman driving the second car told Central Saanich police she was distracted by a spider and suffers from a spider phobia. Injuries and damage were minimal in the accident.

Handyman not so handy for seniors in Sidney file photos

Spectators check out the sights from a previous Largest Little Airshow. After a one-year hiatus the radio-controlled aircraft show returns to Central Saanich this summer.

Sidney North Saanich RCMP have a suspect in a couple cases where a man is suspected of defrauding Sidney seniors.

On Dec. 20 and Jan. 10, police say, the same man asked for money and offered to do odd jobs, such as cleaning gutters or cutting trees, then left with the money to get equipment or tools. The man didn’t come back. In both cases, the money was a small amount.

The suspect has been identified as a 42-year-old who does not have a fixed address. He is described as about 5’11”, 170 pounds and has short black hair and blue eyes.

Police urge people to be careful with money, to make sure a contractor is reputable and to not pay the money up front before work is done.

ference between rural deer and urban deer problems. There are probably going to be recommendations that they’re handled in different ways.”

In November, CRD staff were asked to start work on a deer management plan and report back early in 2012. The CRD has heard from many segments of the community including those in agriculture. Most recently members of DeerSafe Victoria asked that they be included in the discussion.

Fox was representing a group of farmers in the region, who met in August to discuss possible solutions to the increasing deer

While the Capital Regional District looks at deer management, farmers in Central Saanich want local government to voice the rural concern.

Peninsula farmer Wendy Fox brought a petition to the district Monday night asking that council speak up on behalf of the farmers.

“It’s come to the point now where it’s a financial hardship for a lot of the farmers on the Peninsula,” Fox said. “There’s a dif-

“This is a serious matter that must be dealt with if sustainable farming is to continue on the Saanich Peninsula,” Fox said.

“The deer population is threatening the future food chain in the Capital region.”

Calling all those celebrating a milestone year in 2012 Erin Cardone News staff

It’s a milestone many don’t achieve – 100 years of existence is something worth celebrating.

This year, the Peninsula News Review is feting its centenary, but we know we’re not the only ones.

To join us in ringing in this occasion, the newspaper is looking for other businesses, organizations, charities, people or structures celebrating their 100th year on the Peninsula – or other milestone anniversaries.

AIRPORT NEWS IN BRIEF

Business picks up at airport in late 2011

Traffic to and from the Victoria International Airport picked up slightly in the latter part of last year.

Compared to the first half of 2011, the second half was somewhat busier, said Victoria Airport Authority CEO Geoff Dickson. “I think the new flights to Phoenix, Ariz. helped with that. … We noticed a gradual improvement over the last four, five months of the year.”

Traffic was 2.3 per cent higher in December 2011 than December 2010.

been instrumental in the history of the Saanich Peninsula. We plan to spotlight these remarkable stories in the newspaper twice a month, starting in March, with feature stories and photos on page A3.

to resurface its main runway.

The asphalt, similar to the material used to build roads, needs to be resurfaced every 20 to 30 years, airport authority CEO Geoff Dickson said.

It was last resurfaced in 1979. The airport authority hopes to complete the resurfacing without boosting the $10 airport improvement fee.

“We’re looking at resurfacing of the runway in 2013 or 2014.

We have a regular paving process we do for the runways to maintain their condition. It’s the most important thing we do for maintaining the airport.”

The airport also hopes to extend the main runway, which could open opportunities for flights to and from Asia and Europe. Dickson said the extension plan is independent of the resurfacing project.

Rumours of commuter routes unconfirmed

WestJet might be looking at bringing a smaller aircraft to the airport.

“WestJet is looking at a new type and a smaller type of aircraft that is typically used for routes of 700 miles or less,” airport authority CEO Geoff Dickson said. “It allows them to look at some of the smaller markets that might not be served by their existing [aircraft] which is the [Boeing] 737.”

Dickson said routes could include Victoria to Vancouver, Kamloops and Prince George, for example.

WestJet public relations manager Robert Palmer wouldn’t confirm any details. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Central Saanich council gives Co-op development another go Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

The Capital Regional District denying Central Saanich’s request to allow the Co-op to build outside the urban settlement area didn’t sit well and the council opted to seek some outside help.

Under the Local Government Act they asked the Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, Ida Chong, to intervene.

“Given the nature of the issue and because there have been changes to your council as a result of the recent civic elections, I believe discussions between the district and the CRD would be a prudent next step before directing the conflict to formal dispute resolution,” Chong wrote to council.

Despite that the Peninsula Co-op has publicly stated it signed an agreement to build its food mar-

ket, gas bar and administration on Tsartlip land, the district will move forward with the application for the West Saanich Road location.

“I think council should be having a meeting with the various parties to come to some resolution,” said Coun. John Garrison.

Coun. Zeb King tested the waters around the table to see if “there still support for this proposal the way it has been in the past.”

“It deserves to continue to go forward,” said Coun. Terry Siklenka.

Mayor Alastair Bryson and chief administrative officer Gary Nason will attend the meeting. The minister gave them a deadline of March 16 to report back in writing.

Few new details released Continued from page A1

“We’re in the very early feasibility stage, but we’re of a mind that this is an opportunity that is real and we’re excited about the opportunity,� said Keith McRae of Property Development Group, which is working with Churchill International and Tsawout on the project. “Our hope, if everything goes right, is we would commence construction before the end of the calendar year.� The anticipated opening would be the end of 2013. “There’s a lot of work for us to go from where we’re at right now to constructing this site,� McRae said.

In the past, partners have walked away because of the lack of access, Joseph said. The group hopes they’ve overcome those hurdles. “We’ve worked on this access along with members of the Ministry of Transportation to try to come up with the most efficient access to the site that meets with the Ministry of Transportation’s longterm goal for the corridor,� McRae said.

That could mean an overpass at Jus Kun Road and right-in, right-out access to the site on the east side, and to Central Saanich Road on the west.

The Central Saanich Road access point is one issue council highlighted as an area of concern.

Three North Saanich issues put on hold Erin Cardone News staff

Three issues affecting North Saanich residents were delayed to future dates.

Discussions on sewer upgrades for the district’s southeast quadrant were delayed to a committee of the whole meeting in March – either the 12th or the 26th.

Similarly, plans to discuss an official community plan review were pushed to a future committee of the whole meeting, likely Feb. 27. That item includes moving $125,000 to budget deliberations to begin reviewing the document and starts the public consultation process.

As well, a handful of the 15 people who attended Monday night’s council meeting grumbled in frustration as their opportunity to discuss notices placed on their properties’ titles were delayed.

That discussion is moved to Feb. 27.

Committee of the whole offers a more flexible format for residents to address council than regular council meetings, Mayor Alice Finall said. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

“That should be one of your No. 1 communication points ‌ that’s one of the largest concerns we can see,â€? said Coun. Cathie Ounsted. “That’s the No. 1 reason we’re here today,â€?

McRae responded.

The Monday night council meeting where the public could catch its first glimpse of the proposal saw residents fill the room and flow out into the hall, indicating residents wanted to know more.

Coun. Zeb King pondered the public process involved in the plan.

Any open houses would take place on Tsawout land and involve the band, but “with an open door to the broader community,� McRae said. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

OUR VIEW

We’re not ready for ‘never again’ On Monday, North Saanich middle school opens its Holocaust and Human Rights Museum at the school. This is the third year students have created educational and heartfelt displays, which they open to public viewing, to remind us all of the horrors of the Holocaust and other human rights violations.

More than 70 years since that disturbing period in the world’s history, people look back at the period and hope to understand how it all came to be. How could the world have stood by while millions of Jews and other nonAryans perished under absolutely appalling conditions? How could the Nazis have believed such a massive purge of human life was a justifiable course of action?

With the help of informative displays such as the one at North Saanich middle school, we are reminded of what took place. Many of us tell ourselves we’d never let a brutal genocide like the Holocaust ever happen again.

Yet if we open our eyes, we see that similar genocides indeed still plague the planet. The mid-1990s slayings in Rwanda come to top of mind. But since the Second World War, there have also been race-obliterating dictators such as Pol Pot in Cambodia, the BosniaHerzegovina conflict and the daily killings between the Israeli and Arab people in the Middle East. Many also consider the conflict in Pakistan to be a genocide, as well as the murders in the Darfur region of the Sudan.

Next week, please visit the museum created by the students and teachers at North Saanich middle school. It is open Feb. 13, 15, 16 and Feb. 20 to 23. Tours must be booked by visiting northsaanich.sd63.bc.ca, or call the school at 250-656-1129. When you walk through the displays, remember that although the Holocaust is behind us, genocide is not.

Intolerance exists in our society still – even in our own community. In early January, a Jewish cemetery in Saanich was vandalized with antiSemitic markings.

The more we are educated by programs such as the middle school’s museum and the more we talk about tolerance of all cultures and beliefs, maybe then we can say “never again.”

A stipulation to the rule says that carded players who are “developed” by the teams for which they are playing are exempt. UVic and UBC are also immune, because of their varsity status.

It means James Bay can throw national scrum half Sean White and fly half Connor Braid into the lineup at any time. And when national sevens captain Phil Mack finishes his time at UVic, he too will be free to play for James Bay. The same goes for the Castaway-Wanderers with Michael Fuailefau and Beau Parker.

The rule does slow graduating Vikes with national team status from jumping ship to Island clubs, however. National prop Andrew Tiedeman and his Vikes front row mate Toby Peyton came to the Castaway-Wanderers from UVic this year. Tiedeman is CW’s new captain, while Peyton hasn’t played in the premier league yet this year.

One would expect Velox to get a boost sooner than later, and hopefully it means their return to the Premier League next year.

But that’s still only a few players.

Perhaps the answer lies in a return of the Pacific Pride under-23 program, which was also part of the Premier League.

Whatever the answer, there’s got to be some way to see more of Canada’s rugby team in Victoria besides at practice, or on the Premier League sidelines.

LETTERS Pearson vs. Co-op feels like David vs. Goliath Re: Co-op must release members’ information, judge rules (News, Feb. 1) Hats off to Randy Pearson; David may not have slain Goliath, but he did give him a bruise or two. Now the four storey Co-op palace on West Saanich Road may not rise to compete with the current surfeit of grocery stores on the Peninsula.

Many of us have been shocked by the growing power of the two senior Co-op employees.

Pearson was likely speaking for many Co-op members when he said, “when I saw how it [the meeting] was run and I saw the general manager get up on the podium and say vote for the incumbents … it was so wrong and so bush league.”

Perhaps it is time we decided to clean house.

consultation with communities and jurisdictions affected by such a massive change in land use.

There seems to be little guarantee of sediment control, groundwater security, or contaminant control.

We have no idea of the impact of such a land use change on the viability of this jewel in our midst – the threatened, yet still viable ecosystem that is Saanich Inlet.

We find this unconscionable.

B.C. Ferries should be run as a business

B.C. Ferries has been a product of its own demise largely due to the fact that it is run by the provincial government. In my opinion it should be sold to a private group of investors and run like a business.

Having the option of reaching into the pocket of the taxpayer is one that is too tempting and is would going to be a solution to a failing business.

By having B.C. Ferries run by a private company, the market will dictate what fares should be and the salaries that should be paid. B.C. Ferries’ record speaks for itself.

It has been one problem after another and it appears as though the public cannot wait for some form of failure from the company.

We can all think of multiple examples of how this “business” has acted in a manner that we strongly disagree with.

So, let the government govern and businessmen run business because history shows you can’t do both.

Raising OAS eligibility brings many problems As an adult educator, I am surprised that there has been little or no discussion of cognitive and physical decline of adults due to normal, healthy aging and the impact of raising the age of Old Age Security eligibility.

For example, do we really want high school teachers to teach until age 67 – especially when there are growing numbers of unemployed younger teachers?

Do we want 67-year-old propane truck or bus drivers on the road when they have declining co-ordination and reaction times?

Occupations such as mining or nursing – or a host of other occupations that involve physical strength – surely should not require employees to work two more years before receiving OAS. Cognitive and physical decline with aging is a reality.

Research has shown the decline is gradual, but inevitable. What evidence exists that the federal government has taken such research into consideration as they increase the age of eligibility?

Finally, by 2030, when the baby boom bulge has passed, the percentage of gross domestic product expended by the existing pension schemes will decline – a demographic fact the Tories somehow ignore. I guess it gets in the way of their current promotion of an expensive, corporate private model rather than a more cost-efficient expanded CPP model.

Some of us may choose to continue working full or part time, but surely one should have a choice to retire at an age when one is still healthy and not be penalized for retiring before the Tory-imposed age of 67.

No wonder the Tories did not raise the issue during the last

federal election.

Time to think outside Northern Pipeline The two main reasons for the proposed Northern Pipeline are to meet the ever-increasing removal of bitumen from the tar sands and to send the stuff to Asian markets.

If we get beyond our need for instant gratification, plan for the longer term and heaven forbid, reduce bitumen extraction instead, not only will we not need the pipeline, but the value of the bitumen will increase over time because of the scarcity of oil.

In choosing to live with less oil, we will be motivated/forced to develop and employ renewable energy. As an added benefit, environmental degradation will be slowed. And even if there’s not a consensus regarding mankind’s influence on climate change, it’s simply immoral to burn any more fossil fuel than we have to.

Secondly, we should keep our oil for ourselves, which would enable us to stop the ridiculous policy of importing oil in Eastern Canada. Any leftovers should be transported in existing pipelines to markets in the U.S. Thirdly, there is so much money in oil that we should: 1. Reduce the subsidies to the oil companies and direct them instead towards the development of renewables, and 2. Tax the oil companies like they do in Norway: $550 billion and counting in Norway’s rainy day fund.

Our politicians need to man up and stop kissing Big Oil butt. It’s Canadians who own this black gold and Big Oil has very few other options.

Deadly ecstasy may be here Police say it’s only a matter of time before users fall sick from dangerous drug

Erin McCracken News staff

Erin McCracken and Erin Cardone News staff

Ecstasy tainted with a deadly chemical that caused the deaths of five people on the Island and the Lower Mainland, plus many more in Calgary is likely already on the Island, says a Victoria plainclothes police officer. “If they aren’t, [here] they’re likely on their way,� said Const. Harvey Stevenson with the Victoria Police Department’s street crimes unit.

He has not yet heard of any cases in which a user has become gravely ill after taking the bad drug in Victoria.

But it could be only a matter of time before someone buys ecstasy pills spiked with paramethoxymetamphetamine or PMMA and becomes sick or dies. Typically, ecstasy is made with methylenedioxymethamphetamine or MDMA. “I think it’s imminent,� he said.

A 19-year-old man went into convulsions after taking ecstasy at a party in Saanichton Jan. 27.

Central Saanich police say the teen suffered an overdose and that his life was likely saved by observant friends who called 911.

The B.C. Coroners Service confirmed on Jan. 16 that PMMA has been linked to five ecstasyrelated deaths in the province within the past six months. “If it’s in Abbotsford where people have overdosed and died – that is an hour-and-a-half ferry ride. If it’s in Calgary where people have overdosed and died, that’s an hour flight,� Stevenson said. “There’s no reason why it wouldn’t be here. I would be shocked if it wasn’t here.�

Cadet leader accused of sex acts with teens

Ecstasy pills come in various colours, shapes and sizes, and with different stamps on them.

In the wake of the Saanichton overdose, the Central Saanich Police Service and the Sidney North Saanich RCMP detachment issued a joint warning about the risks of taking ecstasy.

Police don’t yet know whether the young man’s condition was caused by PMMA. The investigating officer is considering sending the man’s toxicology results for further analysis.

Ecstasy is readily available for purchase, particularly at parties, raves and on the dance club scene, and is most popular amongst younger adults, said Stevenson. Some people who regularly take ecstasy may not be aware the pills they are ingesting are made with PMMA rather than MDMA, which have similar effects. “It’s usually when you’re in crisis mode that you will know the difference,� Stevenson said. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

An army cadet instructor faces charges of sexually assaulting and sexually exploiting two teen cadets in Saanich and Vernon.

Capt. Daniel Moriarity is accused of sexually assaulting a male cadet and having an “inappropriate relationship� with a female cadet, both of whom are teenagers, said Capt. Karina Holder, Ottawa-based spokesperson for the Canadian Forces Military Police Group.

The incidents are alleged to have occurred between 2008 and 2011 at the Lt.-Gen. E.C. Ashton Armoury in Saanich and the Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre. When the accusations were made, Moriarity was deputy commanding officer of 3005 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps, which is based at the armoury.

The allegations were reported to military police in Esquimalt last summer by the cadets’ superior officers, Holder said.

Military police from the Canadian Forces National Investigation Service then took over the case. The service investigates serious and sensitive matters involving National Defence and Canadian Forces personnel and property. “The minute these allegations did come to light, he had no more contact with cadets,� said Holder.

Moriarity was arrested later that summer, released and ordered to abide by numerous conditions that prevent him from having any contact with cadets or attend any cadet functions.

He was formally charged last Thursday night with two counts of sexual exploitation and one count of sexual assault, both under the National Defence Act and the Criminal Code of Canada, as well as one count of behaving in a disgraceful manner under the National Defence Act. Military police do not anticipate there are other victims, Holder said.

Moriarity, described by military police as “a younger officer,� became a cadet instructor in 2006. His current location is not being disclosed.

He will face a military court martial trial, which has not yet been scheduled.

Holder said she does not know if Moriarity worked in a cadet leadership position at another cadet cadre prior to his working at the Saanich armoury and the Vernon summer camp.

The army, navy and air force cadet corps programs are free for girls and boys, age 12 to 18.

Instructors are considered military reservists, are required to be more than 18 years old and must be screened before they are hired and allowed to work with minors. emccracken@vicnews.com

Students create memorial museum North Saanich middle school opens its third Holocaust display Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

A pile of shoes surrounded in barbed wire sit atop a table.

“Never again” painted in red on the soles, the shoes represent the Nazis stripping the Jews of their clothing.

A hand, arm clad in stripes, reaches through the pile grasping a star.

Names of death camps mark the hand and a telltale number stands out across the wrist.

Josh Carmichael created the sculpture as part of the third North Saanich middle school Holocaust and Human Rights Museum.

“There’s a lot of really cool projects,” the Grade 8 student said. “I think it’s a great way to show people about what happened and to educate them.”

A visit to the Anne Frank house and museum in Amsterdam inspired Grade 7 student Maud van Aerts to create the tree branches of her display.

“I knew a little bit about her, but I wanted to know more,” she said.

The branches are like a three-

“It’s important to know the history and it’s also really interesting what happened during World War II,” van Aerts said. “A lot of students put a lot of effort into projects and they’re really interesting. There are a lot of different topics we’ve been studying about.”

About 250 children and six teachers came together to create the emotional display that ranges in topic from the Euro-

pean Holocaust to B.C.’s residential schools.

The displays aren’t simply static – the students develop characters and draw visitors through the museum.

Guests must book tours online at northsaanich.sd63.bc.ca.

The Holocaust Museum runs Feb. 13, 15, 16, and Feb. 20 to 23 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the school, 10475 McDonald Park Rd. A book and DVD documenting the first two museums can be ordered during tours of the museum. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Mountie memories flood back A few years ago when I was working in rural Saskatchewan, and a lot younger, I remember getting a call about a whole herd of buffalo that were loose from a ranch and all over a local road. I knew the rancher, who was out of town, and two of us went into action with a police snowmobile and a police four-by-four. We rounded up those buffalo over the course of an afternoon, managing to get them secure at a neighbouring farm. What an afternoon it was – I had a smile on Cpl. Chris my face the whole time.

Swain I still tell the story someRed Coat Corner times and recently told it to someone I met who was interested in becoming a Mountie. It sure shows the diverse nature of our duties as national police officers.

Whenever someone wants to know what my favourite part of being a Mountie is, I usually say without thinking about it, that it is the stories I get to tell and the different things I have been able to do.

What other jobs have you herding buffalo on a snowmobile, patrolling a trap line by snowmobile and visiting log cabins along the way for soup, trying “delicacies� such as caribou nose? Or how about having your small police boat bounced like a toy by an overly friendly orca, or float planes dropping you off in a remote village and the pilot saying, “We’ll be back for you in a few days�? I’ve done all these things and my career isn’t over yet.

Many retired Mounties have published books on their exploits and they are all different.

Our career has competitive pay and benefits and is pretty secure, and can be very satisfying. But I still think it is the diverse nature of the work and the opportunities for experience that come out on top. There aren’t many other careers with this many internal paths, such as pilots, boat captains, dog handlers, bomb disposal, forensics, anti terrorism, intelligence, border security, emergency response and riot teams, and major crime investigations just to name a few.

For 130 years, we Mounties have been policing across the country and are currently over 19,000 strong. The RCMP are actively recruiting new officers, so if you are interested in the RCMP as a career, you can visit the careers section of www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca to get more information. A career nowhere near ordinary is waiting for you to discover.

Cpl. Chris Swain is a supervisor and the media liaison officer for Sidney North Saanich RCMP.

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not alone. As youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably seen on Oprah or read in womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra.

Smart. And beautiful.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in.

Chapman is coming to SIDNEY ON TUESDAY FEBRUARY 21 to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-onone basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not uncomfortable,â&#x20AC;? Chapman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.â&#x20AC;?

Inside. And out.

Up to 50% of a home's heating and cooling energy is lost through its windows.

Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll fit somewhere between those sizes.

NEWS REVIEW

Getting an inheritance?

Manage it responsibly Paying off highinterest debt best use of money With our aging demographic, thousands of baby boomers are reaching age 65 every month.

Many boomers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and their children â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will be participants in the greatest transfer of wealth, through inheritances, ever seen in Canada.

Inheritances, often in the hundreds of thousands of taxfree dollars are not unlike the experience of winning a lottery.

Some recipients handle the experience well â&#x20AC;&#x201C; others very poorly, eventually ending up with little in the way of long-term benefit for the family.

Following a few basic principles can make the experience less stressful, and lead to lasting benefits.

Upon receiving an inheritance, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reasonable to set aside a small portion to take a long-anticipated family holiday, upgrade an aging vehicle, or enjoy some other modest indulgence.

However, the majority of the funds must be allocated very carefully, for the greatest advantage.

As with any windfall, whether a successful asset sale, a lottery, or an inheritance, the first and best utilization of the newfound funds is to pay off debts.

This locks in a tax-free gain by eliminating interest costs. Even at four per cent, a mortgage may cost hundreds of thousands in interest payments over its 25-year amortization.

And remember, every interest payment is made with after-tax dollars. If the inheritance is not large enough to pay off all debts,

the loans with the highest rate of interest should receive priority.

All debts are paid off, but significant funds still remain?

Topping off RRSPs and TFSAs to take full advantage of unused contribution room is the next logical application of funds.

After that, excess funds, along with the tax refunds from RRSP contributions, can be used to top up RESPs for children and grandchildren, for home renovations, Peter Dolezal or other forms Financial Savvy of assistance to family members.

Once these strategies have been implemented, those who receive significant inheritances may still have funds available for longterm investment in non-registered investment accounts.

Deployed in low-cost, welldiversified investments such as exchange-traded funds or index funds, the dream of an earlier, financially stress-free retirement will become a greater reality.

If handled wisely, an inheritance can become a life-changing opportunity for the recipient and his family.

If handled poorly, it may provide major short-term gratification, but produce little lasting benefit and perhaps, major regret after it is all gone.

A retired corporate executive, enjoying post-retirement as a financial consultant, Peter Dolezal is the author of three books. His most recent, The Smart Canadian Wealth-Builder, is now available at Tannerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Books, and in other bookstores.

Celebrate Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day with the Greeks There will be a feast, belly dancers and Greek line dancing at the Greek Community Centre this Saturday, Feb. 11, in celebration of Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, Mediterranean style.

The Didi Society was formed as a non-profit society in April 2011 and began selling the handmade items online and at local farmers markets. The profits are returned to the co-operatives and used for education.

The society works with local schools, adding an educational component to its undertaking.

“It’s about being face-to-face with the community, talking to people at the markets, doing outreach and education at schools,” Norman said.

The Didi Society is working with students at École Victor-Brodeur in Esquimalt, to create a community event on Feb. 20.

“It’s a youth conference on social justice. We’re inviting youth from other schools to come and discuss social justice issues, share their experiences with social justice and come up with some ideas around social justice,” said Norman.

“This not only empowers them, but provides a tangible way for them to improve their lives and the lives of their families.”
