Christmas came early this week for one family in need.
On Monday at Superior Collision Repairs in Sidney the Beaumont family received a refurbished GM sedan and gifts from the commu-nity.
Amidst people gathered at Supe-
rior Collision, the family waited anxiously as their new car with a big, red bow was driven to them.
Nicole Beaumont was there with her youngest daughter, Jamie Cocu and her nephew Connor ‘CJ’ Reym-Craig, who she has raised for five years.
With her hand covering her mouth and tears of happiness on her cheeks, Nicole ran to her new
car, almost speechless.“I’m going to be safe with my
kids in my car. I’m going to be fine. My kids will be fine,” said the happy mom.
From Brentwood Bay, Beau-mont commutes every day to Sid-ney and said it’s the best Christ-mas present ever — all thanks to the community.
This is the fourth year a family
is helped in this way by Superior Collision. They do it in collabora-tion with the Sidney Lions Food bank.
The effort is growing each year with more people coming forward to participate. This year, more than 40 members of the business community came out to show their support.
Every year, a vehicle in need of
repair is set aside for a family in need of reliable transportation. Cars that had once been going to waste is what prompted Akzo Nobel Acoat, the world’s largest manufacturer of paint and coat-ings, to create the Acoat selected National Benevolence Program.

Ian Hennigar, second from left, was recently celebrated for his lifetime of contributions to Canadian speed skating. From left are Olympic silver medalist Cathy Preistner, world record holder Kevin Scott and Canada’s most decorated female Olympian, Christina Groves.
Steven HeywoodNews staff
Local speed skaters have Ian Hennigar to thank for hav-ing a place to learn the sport and hone their skills.
Hennigar and his wife Brenda built the Saanich Pen-insula Speed Skating Club after coming to the area from Esquimalt. But more than that, the pair grew up in the sport and have been sharing their expertise and enthusiasm for it ever since.
That’s why, during a recent World Cup speed skating event in Calgary at the end of November, Hennigar was rec-ognized by the President of Speed Skating Canada for his contributions to the sport.
Hennigar, who up until recently was the manager of the Panorama Recreation Cen-tre, has cancer. While he is undergoing treatment, includ-ing a drug trial program to fight the disease, Hennigar is
facing a terminal diagnosis.Not wanting his lifetime of
work within the sport to go unrecognized, Speed Skating Canada invited some of the athletes, coaches and admin-istrators he worked with over the years, to a ceremony and social evening in Calgary.
“We were all back together in Calgary, he said in an inter-view, noting that it was Brenda who kept him in the dark about the event and the award — until he almost backed out of taking the trip.
But he relented when Brenda said there would be a lot of people there specifi-cally to see him. Seventy-five guests flew in from across North America and one came from China. More than 100 let-ters from athletes were pre-sented, sharing stories of his positive impact on their lives in and out of sport. One story was told by PGA Tour cham-pion and former speed skater Ian Leggett, who Hennigar
worked with out in Ontario.“In the end, I was pleased to
see a group of people, many of whom go back with me 40 years.”
Hennigar grew up in the Kitchener-Waterloo area of Ontario. And like many who got into speed skating, it was friends who urged him to try it back in around 1969. He loved it and quickly moved up to competitive levels. In fact, he skated against Cana-dian Olympian and medalist Gaétan Boucher — but never quite beat him.
After breaking an ankle at 18, Hennigar said he still wanted to be involved in the sport and became a coach. By age 21, he had been asked to work at a high level through-out the region.
“A lot of the people I worked with would go on to win national and international medals,” he said.
It was during that early time as a coach that he met Brenda,
herself a national-level skater. They moved to Vancouver Island, where Brenda’s dad ran the Esquimalt club. By 2004, they had come to the Saanich Peninsula and started the local speed skating club.
“It has been fun to watch the kids grow into the sport,” he said.
Hennigar also was coach to Hamish Black, who was living on the Peninsula in 2013. Black went to Hennigar to learn and is currently living and skat-ing in Calgary, competing at a high level and with his eye on skating at the Olympics.
Hennigar has taken a step back from the local speed skating club, as well as from Panorama, as he battles can-cer. He remains positive, yet realistic and said he’s pleased to have made the trip to Cal-gary.
“You don’t really think of the impact you have on people,” he said. “I did things because they were worth doing.”

It’s all about giving refurbished cars to those in need and co-owner of Superior Colli-sion Allison Peters says it’s more than that.
“We have everything donated, the parts, the paint,” said Peters, who owns the local com-pany with husband Rob. “Our guys donate their time to do the repairs. We have all our business partners donate any parts that are needed and then the paint company donates the paint ... to get it back on the road.”
This year, Peters said they had two families wanting to donate to the family. Others even wanted to give cars.
“The reason we do that is because what we found or what I found, was the first year we did this we gave this woman such a hand up that she was able to share it,” Peters said. “And so it’s a lit-tle bit of a ‘pay it for-ward’ so we try to get to know who the recipi-ent is and who the fam-ily is and then we try and look for specific and appropriate things that would be suitable for them.
“It’s not necessarily about the car. Its about a community of people coming together and really supporting a fam-ily.”
There is an applica-tion process. Families must provide informa-tion and they are usu-
ally identified by the Executive Director of the Sidney Lions Food Bank, Bev Elder.
“The food bank serves the working poor in this area and they are people just like us, that may not have enough to get by. They have most of what they need but they just need a little bit of help,” said Peters.
Elder said she knows some of the clients who have come through the door who are in need of a vehicle. She sug-gests they fill out an application. Once they do, Peters will then get more background.
This year Peters met with a group of 10 peo-ple to vote — and their decision was unani-mous.
“Definitely a well deserving mom that’s just looking out for her family,” said Elder.
Elder said that in the last three years the win-ner of the car happened to be someone that has used the food bank in the past. She said many don’t need to use their services anymore.
“They just seem to need that little leg up, so it’s definitely a bonus for them and it brightens their Christ-mas, it brightens our Christmas.”
“Thank you is not enough, thank you is not enough, oh my goodness they’ve been fantastic, this is like winning the lottery,” Nicole said about the generous support of the community.

A police investigation into the disappearance of more than $40,000 from the Keating Elementary School Parents’ Advisory Council (Keating Home and School Associa-tion) has resulted in charges announced Dec. 8.
The Central Saanich Police Service have recommended charges of forgery, fraud and theft against 43-year-old Tanya Larayne Adam, who was the treasurer on the council exec-utive.
She is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 20, 2016.
Police began their investiga-tion into the disappearance of the money in mid-July, 2015 when they were contacted by a member of the Keating
Home and School Association. The department has since been working with members of the council, School Dis-trict 63 (Saanich) and school administrators.
“Like anything, our investi-gations are open minded and the focus of our investigation is around record keeping and the person responsible for that,” said police Chief Les Syl-ven in September.
In a phone interview with the PNR this week, Sylven described the investigation as lengthy and detailed. Police would report to crown coun-cil, outlining the evidence they collected.
“What we wanted to do was just update the com-munity about the investiga-tion because so many people in the community are either
aware of it or touched by it,” he said.
Superintendent of Schools Keven Elder said at the time news of the investigation became public, funds raised by a PAC are usually spent in accordance with the needs of the school, based on consulta-tion with administration and staff.
Often it’s for playground or other equipment focused on the children and outdoor play.
“In this case the $40,000 was targeted for an outdoor play structure and that plan of course now goes on hold,” Elder said.
The Peninsula Co-op came forward with a donation of $30,000 towards the building of a new playground shortly after the story of the alleged theft became known. As well,
$40,000 in design material and installation work was donated by Garden City Tree and Land-scape.
“They both quite hap-pily have indicated that they would work together ... to cre-ate a combined play structure and nature scape,” said Assis-tant Superintendent, Scott Stinson.
The PAC is working on cre-ating safeguards, including amendments to their bylaws and constitution.
“They are working hard to ensure that people have the trust and confidence that is properly placed in them because everybody was taken by surprise with this based on the actions of the person who is under investigation now,” Elder said.

A rosy vision for SidneyM
ayor Steve Price is painting a rosy picture for the Town of Sidney in 2016 and beyond. And by extension, his positive outlook extends into the rest of the Saanich Peninsula.
In a sit down interview with the News Review this week, Price outlined and expanded upon some of the key speaking points out of his address during the town council’s organizational meeting Monday evening. That sets the agenda for the coming year and sees the appointment of councillors to various community and regional bodies. It also gives the mayor a chance to talk about what went right during the previous year.
Council, Price said, is ready to approve its updated strategic plan on Monday, Dec. 14. It outlines their big-picture goals and in Sidney those
are growing the local economy, balancing the population between seniors and families
and making sure Sidney is a quality place to live.The devil is always in the details and there
are sure to be people to remind council of their shortcomings in 2015.
Yet, overall, much of what Price talks about in his address shows that Sidney is not only rebounding from the economic doldrums after 2008, but is potentially thriving. A small boom in house building — with more projects waiting in the wings — has the potential to not only grow the population after a few years of decline, but see local businesses earn a larger customer base as a result.
Price says Sidney is open for business — and at least on the development side of the issue, that is true. The next few years of this council’s term of office will see if that sector bears fruit for the rest of the community.
Sidney, Price says, is changing — and that is nothing new. Over its history it has quickly expanded, rested and has grown again. The town is in the middle of a small growth spurt right now and local leaders are hoping to ride along with it and follow through on promises made in the 2014 municipal election.
Sidney is a great place to live and work, yet there are challenges ahead and plenty of decisions to come that council will have to answer for.
Their updated strategic plan certainly gives the local politicians enough talking points. It’ll be up to residents to make sure they follow through.
With expanding housing, eco-nomic and demographics around the school, possibilities and anxious excitement can be created with an expansion of Parkland Secondary School’s programs.
Not only can we take advantage of urbanization, the ferries next door paired with a lack of services on the Gulf Islands, plus an expand-ing housing market, we can offer an enhancement our students have never experienced before.
Since the dawn of the Hockey Academy in 2012, Parkland Second-ary has utilized Panorama Recre-ation as home base.
Unfortunately, home base isn’t quite so close to home. A ten min-ute drive south gets you there; repeat the opposite direction to come back to school. With many students living here in Sidney, prac-ticality is overshadowed by conve-nience.
With the soil laying dormant outside our gymnasium, we have potential to crack boundaries no public school has yet to even fathom. With an installation of the rink, possibilities of community events (birthday parties, ice skating lessons, speed skating, figure skat-ing, sledge hockey, shinny hockey) and enhancing local hockey for Pen-insula Minor Hockey Association (PMHA).
Possible partnerships with the Peninsula Panthers, CCSHL (Cana-dian Sport School Hockey League) and Hockey 101, we can crank this
project up to fifth gear. Pass the word around and shoot
for that top corner, because our breakout is just getting started.

Where is the warming?Re: Inconvenient truths of climate
change (B.C. Views, Dec. 2).It has been 18 years without
statistically relevant tempera-ture increases in our atmosphere, according to satellite data used by the International Panel on Climate Change. The level of CO2 has gone up in those 18 years, yet the atmo-spheric temperature has not.
Is there a real connection between
CO2 level and atmospheric tempera-ture?
Maybe not much. The climate scientists won’t say
they got it wrong.Time for the truth, before Canada
and other countries have our econo-mies knocked out from under us.
Please, climate scientists, level with us, and let your colleagues who have “lost the climate change faith” speak.
After all, no one likes muzzled sci-entists.

Merchants of sludge?Tom Fletcher’s latest column, a
litany of classic skepticism about what’s going on in the atmosphere, is like a museum display of petro-leum industry attitudes.
He evidently has no shame in car-rying the torch for continuing with status quo policies around energy sources and emissions.
No surprise, because his boss and others are betting there’s still hope for selling sludge to Asia.
I notice in reading the letters from various outposts of Black Press, there are few readers buying this argument.
That is encouraging for people who have their ears and eyes open to the realities of the climate situa-tion.

For much of 2015 the attention of Canadians and
our political parties has been heavily focussed on the plight of Syrian refugees and how Can-ada can help ease this humanitarian crisis.
Most of us welcome the federal govern-ment’s plan to accept 25,000 refugees in the next few months.
Some grumble at the cost — perhaps as much as $1 billion — of settling newcomers.
Others worry about security issues — how can so many potential immigrants be safely approved for entry to Canada over such a short time frame?
Immigrants fall into two distinct categories: those with the desire and financial resources, to pursue a new life in Canada for reasons ranging from lifestyle and education oppor-tunities, to the desire to improve their eco-nomic circumstances.
The Syrian immi-grants clearly fall into the second category —that of refugees.
Today, about one in five Canadians is not born in Canada. Over the past decade, Canada has accepted approximately 260,000 immigrants annually — of that number, only about 10 per cent were refugees in need of financial assistance.
Clearly, our immi-grants have assimilated extremely well into Canadian society, mak-ing meaningful con-tributions to both our rich culture and our economic well-being.
In short, our experi-ence with immigrants has been very positive.
Should we view this next wave of new arriv-als any differently?
I would argue that not only should we welcome these fami-lies with open arms for humanitarian reasons, but also for selfish eco-nomic reasons. Yes, there will be transition costs, as these new resi-dents arrive with barely more than the clothes they are wearing. How-ever, history has shown us that immigrant refu-gees in particular, are highly appreciative of the opportunities Can-ada offers and very quickly became highly-productive, contribut-ing members of society.
An even more com-pelling economic rea-son for embracing immigration is our aging demographic.
For the first time in his-tory, the num-ber of seniors in Canada has equalled that of our chil-dren under age 16.
Every year the decreas-ing propor-tion of those in the work-force strug-gles to fund the increas-ing cost of health care and other programs required to support our rising numbers of seniors. Unless we do something dramatic to change this trend, our children and grandchil-dren had best prepare for a much-delayed retirement, smaller pensions and a health care system under much greater pressure than it faces today.
There are solutions for this demographic
conundrum. We can raise the birthrate dramatically and quickly — a not very-likely pros-pect when all current trends are in the reverse direction.
A more r e a l i s t i c option is to
increase immigration well beyond our recent annual rate of 0.7 per cent of our population.
We should view the arrival of Syrian refu-gees as an opportunity — a small jump-start to increasing the younger demographic. If we fail, we can foresee sig-nificant future labour shortages, as well as a decline in our collective standard of living.
Germany, with a population of 80 mil-lion, faces similar
demographic chal-lenges. Chancellor, Angela Merkel clearly embraces the long-term benefits of accept-ing refugees — even at significant transi-tion costs. Germany, in 2015, has accepted some 800,000 Syrian refugees — 32 times the commitment made by Canada.
Immigrants repre-sent to our society, not a cost, but an eco-nomic benefit. Short-term transitional costs are quickly offset by the incremental con-sumption of accommo-dation, goods and ser-vices, and increases in tax revenues.
National security cannot be ignored. Yet, thousands land on our shores daily, most with little-to-no pre-screen-ing. If the traveller has a passport and a plane ticket, he or she is wel-comed. We do not let
our concern for secu-rity impede our very lucrative tourism indus-try. In fact, we actively strive to increase tour-ism.
With the intense vet-ting process faced by potential immigrants, the security concern would appear to be much less of an issue, than for visiting tour-
ists. In helping to ease a humanitarian crisis, we as a civilized soci-ety are doing not only what is necessary and appropriate but in the process, we are fortu-nate to be easing a sig-nificant demographic problem for ourselves — a great long-term benefit to Canada.

In it’s 32nd season, The Civic Orchestra of Victoria will hold its 17th annual popular Sing Along Messiah which will see many come out including a few local Saanich Peninsula artists.
With four concerts a year, President of the Orches-tra, Ralph Hayes said the upcoming show on Dec. 16 will see four soloists includ-ing Sidney tenor, Sunny Shams along with former music teacher in North Saa-nich, Director Hilary Coup-land.
The annual Sing Along Messiah is the only Messiah of its kind in Victoria and the audience is the choir, however non-singers are welcome to attend as well.
“Playing music stimulates
so much,” said Haye’s who has a big passion for the Orchestra and added that they are always looking for new members.
One member in particular is his son Fraser who had a horrible cycling accident in 2008, leaving him in a coma for two weeks. As he finally recovered, he continued to play the violin.
“I attribute his remark-able recovery in part to his music.”
Fraser’s interest began when he saw a performance of Pirates of Penzance put on by the Civic Orchestra and G&S at the Mary Win-spear Centre a couple of years ago. Two weeks after the show, he became a part of the Orchestra and con-tinues to make his father proud.
“He’s a very skilled violin-
ist,” said Hayes.A non-profit organiza-
tion, The Civic Orchestra is funded through member
subscriptions, donations from the community and grants from different organi-zations. A few weeks ago, in combination with the G&S Society, they raised over $35,000 to go towards the Victoria Hospice.
With around 50 members to date from strings to brass to woodwinds and percus-sion, the Sing Along will be a performance worth see-ing at the Alix Goolden Per-formance Hall on Dec. 16 at 7 p.m. Tickets can be pur-chased at Tanner’s Books or by visiting the website at civicorchestraofvictoria.com. General admission is $22, seniors are $18 and stu-dents are $10.
The other two concerts will take place in March and May of 2016 and for more details people can visit the Orchestra’s website.

Carlie ConnollyNews staff
On December 14, the community is welcome
to celebrate the season with a Christmas con-cert put on by the Sid-ney Concert Band.
Performing Christ-
mas favourites from Baby It’s Cold Outside to White Christmas, the audience will have the opportunity to sing along with the Concert Band’s solo vocalists.
One of which includes Stephanie Benbow, who is one of the younger soloists who has been with the band for a few years now.
The concert will also feature the trombone section with players performing a couple of Christmas holiday selections.
Conductor of the band, Rob Bannister said this year, they will
be doing something a little different, with what they call their Platte River Christmas
Hoedown. (a selection originally called Platte River Hoedown).
“It’s a really catchy
number and the band really enjoys playing it too,” he told the News Review.
The selection is writ-ten with a sort of hoe-down flavour to it, the knee slapping kind of music, which Bannis-ter says has that sort of down home flavour to it, relatable he said for those from the Prairies or down in the States, like Louisiana.
With around 35 to 38 individuals in the band, the performance will run for around an hour and a half beginning at 7 p.m. on this coming Monday, Dec. 14.
Taking place at the Peace Lutheran Church in Sidney, tickets are available at the door and a $10 donation is encouraged along with food bank items.

O’Connor O’Brien Irish Dancers join CookleilidhCarlie ConnollyNews staff
This Sunday as part of the Sunday Serenade concert series, the Cookleilidh Celtic Band will be joined by the O’Connor O’Brien Irish Dancers in celebrating their Celtic Yuletide.
The dancers will per-form what they call their slip jigs, reels, hardshoe jigs and horn-pipes. Coordinator of the event, John Smith (his wife Sue is the other coordinator), said this is the first time they are having the dancers at their concert, but have
had Cookleilidh before. Cookleilidh is run by a fellow named Dave Cook who has been running the Celtic band for several years, hav-ing played at the Mary Winspear Centre and other concerts around.
“They’re very popu-lar, a very high energy
bunch,” said Smith in a recent phone interview with the PNR.
He said the concert series are held on Sun-day afternoons as the shows target local seniors who can enjoy an afternoon out.
This year, they are hoping for around 150
to attend the showThe performance
will take place at the St. Mary’s Anglican Church in Saanichton. Tickets are $15 and are available at the door. Children 12 and under are free.
Sing along with the soloists on Dec. 14

Fogo Island, Newfoundland
Visit the Newfoundland/Fogo Island Mercedes-Benz gallery at DrivewayCanada.ca
DrivewayCanada.ca |
Driving at one of the four corners of the earthFogo Island, Newfound-land: Travelling to one of the so-called four corners of the earth for the launch of the 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe was a first.It was also an irresistible opportunity for somebody with wanderlust to make the two-day, 7,192-kilome-tre journey from Vancouver to the tiny island in the North Atlantic. While a chance to drive the sleek new Mercedes GLE Coupe crossover was appealing, it’s fair to say Fogo Island was as big a draw.An ironic thought given the fact that until recently most people were trying to get away! – But now a fascinating story is being written here by one of its recently returned natives and the almost 2,500 souls that currently call this northeast corner of Newfoundland home. The death of the cod fishery cast many of its people far and wide in search of a future. They were later joined in their quest by many more of those left behind as they grew to an age when they could make their own choices.Zita Cobb was raised with her six siblings in a house without electricity of running
water. She left to pursue a business degree at Carleton University, in Ottawa. She went on to make her fortune in high tech, cashed out and then returned home with bright, new ideas on how to revive Fogo Island. She established the Shorefast Foun-dation, which backs business initiatives, such as a guest house, with a micro-lending program, and supports the Fogo Island Arts Corporation.To the visitor, the most noticeable examples of the foundation’s work are found in buildings. Scattered around the
island, tiny ocean-side studios offer visiting artists from around the world an opportunity to capture breathtaking views on canvas or in other chosen me-dia. The most visible is the dramatic Fogo Island Inn, which is like a giant model of the tiny fish landing stages and adjoining shacks still found around the island, some dilapidated, some lovingly cared for in the eternal hope that the cod will return. Well, the cod has swum back but now it’s a hook and line business rather
than a fully-fledged industry.The five-star, premium hotel, stands on the rocks offering temporary residents, willing to shell out almost $900 a night, stunning views of the wild North Atlantic. And there’s the connection with the latest from Mercedes Benz. At a base price that tops $72,000 it will be bought by folks who wouldn’t blink at that breathtaking nightly rack rate!The luxury GLE Coupe is offered in three executions: the base model is a diesel-powered GLE 350d with a sticker price of $72,300. The 450 AMG is powered by a turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 gas engine. The biggest jump in performance and price comes with the AMG GLE 63, which is powered by a massive 5.5-litre, turbocharged V8, churning out 577 horsepower and 561 lb-ft of torque, for a cost of $116,500. Unfortunately, that version was not available for the island hop.The first two iterations get the new nine-speed automatic transmission, while the top-of-the-line version uses a seven-speed dual-clutch auto. All three come with 4MATIC all-wheel drive.We ventured out along two-lane roads to take in the sights at the seaside and the inland lakes where the silence begs you to speak in a whisper so as not to disturb the tranquillity. It’s also something the quiet-running GLE respects.
Steep inclines were ascended with gazelle-like ease and smoothly thanks to the efficient nine-speed tranny. Curvy stretches were taken in the Coupe’s easy stride straightened out by a crackerjack suspension that fought the natural physical tendency for a projectile to roll very well. Standard is the ‘dynamic select’ drive mode system which alters the throttle, steering and transmission. It switches, via the turn of a knob, easily between the settings ‘comfort,’ sport,’ ‘slippery (yes, you read that right,’ and ‘individual’. The diesel version, kitted with the optional sport package, adds suspension control to the system. The 450 and 63 S trims get the air suspension as standard, and add a ‘sport+’ setting.An ‘intelligent drive’ package adds such safety features as adaptive cruise control with steering assist, blind spot assist and active lane keeping assist. In a cruise control setting, steering assist is activated and that allows the car to drive autonomously for short distances. It gets nervous if you take your hands off the wheel for too long and prompts you to get a grip!As might be expected, the various modes and style of driving will have a varying effect on fuel consumption. As a guide, constant comfort mode us will likely produce a fuel economy of around
10.4/8.2 L/100 km (city/highway) with the diesel and 13.6/10.2 L/100 km (city/highway) in the 450.Cabin styling is classy as you would ex-pect. Up front, the seating is comfy and gripping in the turn and operationally it is definitely user friendly. The Coupe’s rakish design does affect the rear passenger room but I suspect it’s more perception than reality in that your head is closer to the roof than traditional boxy sport utes! There’s 650 litres of cargo space, which expands to 1,720 with the rear seats folded. And there’s more enough room in my life to take in Fogo Island again, given half a chance.

Question of the WeekIt’s hard to avoid the advice not to drink and drive this season. What made you quit getting behind the wheel after a couple of drinks?

Peninsula girls second at UVicSteven HeywoodNews staff
A team of nine-and-10-year old girls has become the first peninsula basketball club team in recent memory to place at a local tournament.
The Saanich Peninsula Bas-ketball Association’s (SPBVA) Under 11 girls team made the final game in the Future Stars Tournament Dec. 5, hosted by the University of Victoria Vikes basketball teams.
Coach Daleen Thomas said
they lost 20-10 to Victoria’s Frank Hobbs School team — earning the silver medal — but the accomplishment is a good one for the team, and the SPBA.

• Two youth bowlers at Miracle Lanes in Sid-ney were in the Four Steps to Stardom bowling tournament over the Dec. 4 and 5 weekend.
James Hortobagyi came second in the senior boys division with a 767 points total over five games.
Ethan Harper was in his first tournament and came sixth in the junior boys category with a 639 total for his five games (he bowled 25 pins over his average).
Youth bowling coach Sandra Hood said the club offers its congratulations to both bowlers.
• Langley Minor Football’s Stampeders defeated Victoria Spartans Football in the midget club in the Mainland Football Association championship game on Sunday, Dec. 6.
The Spartans, which include four Saanich Peninsula players, finished third in league play and won their way into the final match. However, the Stampeders prevailed 19-1.
• The Mount Washington Ski Club is celebrat-ing 35 years this season and is inviting people across Vancouver Island to check out their pro-grams. The Mount Washington Ski Club has a long history on the mountain and is known for supporting Allison Forsythe, National Ski Team Champion and Olympian and Matt Leduc – Canadian National Ski X Team Member in their early years of racing. Already on the club cal-endar for December and January, they have a mountain and club open race planned, a club social for all families on Jan. 4 and another fun event planned for Jan 24. Visit mtwashingtonski-club.com for information.

“We had an incredible day, Thomas said, noting her team played three back-to-back games en route to the U11 final.
Her team, she continued, is made up of girls who are play-ing basketball for the first time. They include girls in Grade 3, 4 and 5, playing against school and club teams in the region that practice more than they do and are more experienced. Thomas is also in her first year coaching, as her daughter plays on the team.
The U11 squad plays once a week, mostly at Landsdown school, within the Victoria Basketball League.
Thomas said they are com-petitive and bounced back after losing their first three games of the season.
“But after that, they have won every game since mid-November.”
Thomas added the team lets everyone have equal playing time, there are no tryouts at the beginning of the season and the focus is on fun. All SPBA teams, she said, draw players from across the Saanich Penin-sula and are not affiliated with specific schools. Registration is handled through Panorama Recreation Centre and teams practice regularly at North Saa-nich Middle School.
“The girls are really giving it everything they’ve got,” said the coach.
The league is now on a break for the rest of December. Thomas said her team resumes play in the new year and will participate in another hoops tournament on Jan. 7.

7X3RCC SCOOTERS
SIDNEY — The old saying ‘it is better to give than to receive’ may hold true for most things, but should never apply to influ-enza.
This holiday season, when you exchange gifts and good wishes at festive gatherings with your family, friends and loved ones, do your part not to share the influenza virus and other winter illnesses.
“It’s not too late to get a flu shot. Vaccine is still available at your local pharmacy, doc-tor’s office or local public health unit,” says Dr. Dee Hoyano, medical health officer for Island Health. “We have already admin-
istered about 227,000 doses of vaccine this year.
“If you’re feeling under the weather staying at home when you’re sick is another excellent way to prevent infections. Your friends, family and coworkers will appreciate it” says Hoyano.
Washing your hands fre-quently is the best way to avoid getting sick in the first place, but it you do fall ill, proper hand washing can help stop the spread.
Practicing good respiratory etiquette by coughing and sneez-ing into your sleeve and prop-erly disposing of your tissues also helps reduce infections.
No flu shot? Please mask-up People who are visiting Island
Health patient care facilities are reminded they will be expected to wear a mask if they have not received their flu shot in order to protect patients.
Masks, information and hand sanitizer is available at key entrances across Island Health’s patient care areas.
People wishing to find out where they can get a flu shot are encouraged to talk to their health care provider, pharmacist or visit viha.ca/flu for additional details.

VICTORIA — Dementia is plac-ing enormous strain on many Canadian families. CanAssist at the University of Victoria hopes to ease some of that pressure.
CanAssist recently began test-ing two new technologies aimed at helping people with dementia remain in their own homes for as long as safely possible, while at the same time reducing stress and worry for their caregivers. The technologies, funded by the B.C. Ministry of Health, are already having a positive impact on several families.
CanAssist — the UVic organi-zation that develops innovative technologies for people with a wide range of disabilities — is looking for families affected by early-stage dementia to test one
of two new technologies:
Wandering Redirect SystemNight-time wandering is a
common concern for many families who have a loved one with dementia. The Wandering Redirect System uses common computer tablets to reinforce the time of day for the individ-ual with dementia. At night, the system can deliver personalized video and audio messages to redirect individuals when they approach a home exit at inap-propriate times. During the day, the system can be configured to display a calendar of events, including an audio reminder.
Phone-in Monitoring SystemWorried about leaving some-
one with dementia on their own at home? This technology uses standard phone and wire-less sensors to provide informa-tion to a family member about an individual’s activity when he or she is home alone. By plac-ing a phone call, the caregiver receives automated answers to these types of questions.
The technology would be installed at no cost to eligible families.
Families would be asked to provide feedback on the tech-nology’s effectiveness and could keep the device at no charge for as long as it was useful.
For details, contact Megan Yon at the University of Victoria, 250-853-3874 ([email protected]).

VICTORIA — BC Fer-ries has been working with first year students at the University of Vic-toria (UVic) on a project to improve accessibil-ity for customers with mobility challenges.
When travelling on BC Ferries, wheelchairs are available at major terminals, however the distance of the walk-ways and ramp varia-tions depending on the tides can pose chal-lenges for customers requiring assistance and mobility aids.
BC Ferries has an accessibility committee that meets regularly to identify improvements, however, new solutions are always needed.
UVic’s Faculty of Engineering was look-
ing for a real-life busi-ness challenge for the class of 450 first year engineering design stu-dents to work with a cli-ent and come up with innovative solutions.
The students were given an overview of major terminal layouts, ships and the current challenges facing cus-tomers with mobility restrictions and the
employees assisting them.
“This project gives our engineering stu-dents an opportunity to take on a real-world engineering problem right at the start of their program,” said Peter Wild, UVic engi-neering professor.
“Our current wheel-chair technology and assistance program does not always meet the mobility challenges of our customers and the requests for assis-tance are increasing,” said Corrine Storey, BC Ferries’ vice-president of customer services.
“Working with the UVic students has pro-vided us with a fresh perspective on ave-nues we can pursue,
whether it is acquir-ing new mobility aids, changing the process for our assistance pro-gram or implementing a technology solution.”
The students have been working on the project since Septem-ber with assistance from BC Ferries man-agers and presented their final designs, pro-totypes and ideas to BC Ferries at an awards ceremony on Friday, Dec. 4.
The winning projects included alternative transportation devices as well as a powered mover for wheelchairs and received prizes donated by UVic and BC Ferries.

This abridged 90 minute version is sung in English and features an attractive young cast conducted by beloved Met Maestro James Levine.
The groundbreaking broadcast that launched the Met’s award-winning Live in HD series to movie theaters in 2006, The Magic Flute enchanted opera lovers from around the world with the whimsical humor and breathtaking puppetry of Julie Taymor’s hit production, presented in a shortened English-language version. Under the baton of Maestro James Levine, a winning ensemble cast— including Nathan Gunn, Ying Huang, Matthew Polenzani, Erika Miklósa, and René Pape—brings fresh life to Mozart’s timeless fairy tale

IN BUYING AND SELLING YOUR
HOME
VANCOUVER — The Society of Notaries Public of B.C. conducted an internal online survey of members on key real estate topics in November 2015 and found that more than half of Notaries’ first‐time home buyer clients are typically getting help with their down payment from parents.
While Notaries don’t formally track whether par-ents contribute, how much or how they structure the funding, of the 133 Notaries who participated, 57 per cent said in their experience first‐time buyer clients in their community were typically getting help with their down payment. Another 30 per cent of Notaries said new buyers are typically funding the down payment on their own; and oth-ers didn’t know.
Virtually all of those who are getting financial help are receiving it from parents, rather than other family members or friends: about half, 52 per cent, are receiving less than a quarter of the down payment; a third are getting 25 to 50 per cent; and 15 per cent are receiving more than half of the down payment from Mom and/or Dad.
The same Notaries reported almost 70 per cent of parents are gifting the money, 17 per cent are going on title, and 15per cent make “other” arrangements, which includes private informal or formal loans, a second mortgage or co‐signing to guarantee the loan.
“Deciding whether or not you can or should sup-port your child’s purchase of a first home, and how to structure the arrangement is a personal choice for each family,” said Tammy Morin Nakashima, President of BC Notaries and a Notary in Steveston.
“There are several things families should con-sider, including whether or not the lending par-ents should share in ownership and how every-one should plan for the unfortunate possibility of death or divorce. We help our clients choose an arrangement that’s right for them.”
Notaries from Greater Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, Vancouver Island, Northern B.C., and the Okanagan, Kamloops and Kootenay regions par-ticipated in the survey, which showed that the percentage of first time buyers typically getting a financial kick‐start varied throughout B.C.
Vancouver Island showed similar results with 60 per cent of local Notary clients typically receiving parental support and 25 per cent buying on their
own. Notaries are seeing parents funding less than 25 per cent of the down payment for 37 per cent of clients; 44 per cent funding 25 to 50 per cent; and 19 per cent funding more than half of the agreed upon down payment.
“We help hundreds of people ensure their home purchases are properly documented and consid-ered every year,” said Morrie Baillie, a Notary in Victoria.
“Whether people are buying a home on their own, with a spouse or partner, or with a parent, we help them consider and understand their options so they can make the best decisions for their situ-ation now and in the future.”

Steven HeywoodNews staff
Sidney’s Save-on-Foods gro-cery store is the latest stop for a young leader looking to make his mark on the industry.
Justin McGregor, who joined the Sidney store’s management team in February of this year, received Canadian Grocer’s Generation Next award at a cer-emony in Toronto in late Novem-ber.
The award, presented by the industry publication, is for leaders in the industry who are under 40 and who demonstrate innovation and commitment to the business.
McGregor started his career with the Overwaitea Food Group while he was still in high school — 11 years ago. He admits that it was his first job and he was out for a little spending money.
“It was my first job but I real-ized quickly that I loved it and wanted to be a part of the indus-try.”
He rose from bag boy to man-agement in a short eight years. His last manager’s position prior to Sidney was in Prince Rupert.
He said the Generation Next award looks at new and exciting initiatives being done by people across the country. Locally, he said he works with his team at Save-on-Foods to come up with ideas — such as raising money
for sick children to working with suppliers, sourcing more locally-produced grocery items.
“This is a team win,” he said of the award.
Looking ahead, McGregor said he’s challenging his team to
challenge themselves every day, to improve and to be competi-tive in a busy grocery market.
For him, he hopes to continue to move up within the company and is enjoying his role at the store in Sidney.
