The Mary Winspear Centre. Executive Director Brad Edgett walked the PNR through the Centre’s beginning, its success, its struggles and

what’s to come.It all began in 1921. The Women’s Auxiliary and the Sidney and North Saanich Athletic Club came together to

The company announced an agree-ment with the Malahat First Nation in August, 2015.

Tsawout Chief Don Tom said there are no conditions under which his community would support the project, as it directly impacts on their fishing and hunt-ing rights and spiritual connection to the inlet.

“This would not ben-efit us in any way and undo all of the rehabili-tation work that has gone on in the Saanich Inlet.”

Tom said local first nations are trying to protect their way of life, recognized under treaty. That requires, he continued, govern-ment at all levels and proponents like Steel-head LNG to consult with them.

“Under our law, when people come in to our territory and disrupt those laws and rights, it’s our obligation to correct them.”

In a statement, Steel-head LNG wrote the project is in its early stages and “environ-mental stewardship of the proposed project is our number one prior-ity.”

The company also stated they are “fully committed to evalu-ating (the project) in a way that is respect-ful, transparent and science-based.” Steel-head LNG added they will continue to engage with the WSANEC com-munities and other potentially affected First Nations.

The Chiefs also put the Province of B.C. “on notice that they do not have jurisdiction to interfere with the con-tinuity of our treaty rights and will incur liability and put any LNG project at signifi-cant risk of cancellation should they choose to provide permits and authorizations to the proponents without our consent.”

Tom added propo-nents of any projects,

if they disregard the community, would be “invited to leave.”

“We are here to say if Steelhead LNG contin-ues as it has been, it is unwelcome to do busi-ness in this territory,” Tom said.

The B.C. Ministry of of Natural Gas Devel-opment, in a state-ment, said the project would be “subject to rigorous environmen-tal reviews and permit-ting processes before it could be built.” They wrote that any provin-cial assessment must include consultation and engagement with First Nations who may be impacted.

Harvey Underwood, Chief of the Tsawout First Nation, and Rebecca Davis, Chief of the Pauquachin, added their opposition to Malahat LNG.

Tsartlip Edler Tom Sampson said the courts have upheld First Nations treaty rights and the commu-nities along the Saanich Inlet “are not going to give it away.”

“We are the legal owners of this land … and LNG will never come here,” he said.

Sampson advocated for people, young and

old, to stand up to pre-vent the project.

Tom said the WSANEC First Nations are looking into legal and political options.

“We will request a meeting with the Prime Minister when he’s here on the Island on March 11 to 13,” he said. “We will discuss the Crown’s obligations and duty to First Nations.”

Tom added he wel-comes neighbouring municipalities, if they stand against Malahat LNG, to contribute to a legal war chest.

The Town of Sidney is asking the pro-ponent of the proposed Gateway com-mercial development site to pay for an independent evaluation of its potential impact on the downtown core.

Mayor Steve Price says the Town met with Omicron representatives, who agreed to pay for an independent con-sultant. Town CAO Randy Humble con-firmed Wednesday the consultant hired is Urbanics out of Vancouver.

“Council wants to do its due diligence,” Price said, “and we have requested Omicron do this.”

Omicron is looking to develop a 10-acre site at the corner of Beacon Avenue West and the Pat Bay Highway into a commercial area. They were hired by the Victoria Airport Authority (VAA), which controls the land. The VAA swapped land with the

Town of Sidney last December to com-plete the parcel. In January of this year, the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) agreed to exclude the land from the Agri-cultural Land Reserve, helping clear the way for development. That ALC decision is being challenged by North Saanich resident Springfield Harrison.

The Town has not yet received an offi-cial application for the project.

Omicon representative Peter Laughlin said the consultant will look at the poten-tial impact of new retail space on existing

businesses in Sidney’s downtown core. While he said it’s not common to have such a study done, Omicron was happy to do it.

“You try to work with the community,” he said, “as we would do with any other project.”

Laughlin noted the consultant has been chosen and will meet with the Town to set the scope of work.

Laughlin said he didn’t want to guess the out-come of the evaluation, but hoped that it would provide the community factual information and ease fears of Gateway’s possible impact on Sidney.

In an email to the PNR, Sidney Councillor Erin Bremner, whose family owns businesses on Bea-con Avenue, said the more the community can offer here, to keep people and their dollars close to home, the better.

“As this a major development proposal, if approved, it will most certainly affect our exist-ing communtiy,” she wrote. “I’m hoping that the independent evaluation will detail how our current business districts will be impacted. From people in my age bracket, I often hear that there needs to be more for us and our young families. The question is, what needs will this development fill?”

A Town media release states they expect “the results of the study (to) be completed and pre-sented to the Town as part of the rezoning amend-ment application package” submitted by Omicron — effectively at the time the company applies to start the approval process for Gateway. Laughlin said that could be four to eight weeks away.

Omicron and the VAA have set March 17 for an open house on Gateway. It takes place at the Mary Winspear Centre from 6 to 8 p.m.

Q: How do high doses of vitamin C and lysine protect me from a heart attack or stroke?A: High doses of vitamin C and lysine protect the cardio-vascular system by promoting healthy veins and arteries. Vitamin C is needed to produce collagen which is the glue that binds human cells together. Without strong collagen, cracks appear in the arterial wall. These cracks can set the stage for plaque formation which is a combination of choles-terol and fatty deposits that eventually block arteries. Lysine provides strength to the walls of your arteries, much like steel rods in concrete. This keeps your arteries stronger and less likely to rupture causing a stroke. Your body has 60,000 miles of veins and arteries and your heart beats 100,000 times every day sending 7,600 litres of blood through your body, so keep-ing your veins and arteries healthy is essential for protection against a heart attack or stroke.

Q: I want to stop taking cholesterol-lowering drugs, but I’m afraid to do so.A: I know of no reason why you cannot take Medi-C Plus along with CLDs. But it is always advisable to discuss medical matters with your own doctor.

Q: Is there any contraindication to taking Medi-C Plus?A: Patients who suffer from hemochromotosis, often called iron overload, should not take any type of vitamin C as exces-sive amounts will increase the absorption of iron. Also – those on anti-coagulant drugs should discuss with their doctor as large doses of vitamin C can decrease the effect of blood thinning medications.

REMEMBER - when you take Medi-C Plus you are not only supporting your cardiovascular system but also your immune system, teeth and gums; bones and cartilage; wound healing, vision, and recovery from shingles.

In 1997 the SANSCHA Foun-dation was created to raise money for a new facility — The Mary Winspear Centre. The community raised $7.5 million to build the building. A man by the name of Bill Winspear, a businessman and philanthropist, gave a gift of $1 million in his aunt’s name — the main reason why the centre is named the way it is.

Sidney’s Mary Winspear Centre opened in 2001 — one of three such centres, the other in Edmonton Alberta and Dallas, Texas.

The centre is the home to many events, concerts, wed-dings and more. All the reve-nue goes to operate the build-ing. Grants from the Town of Sidney and District of North Saanich contribute to its oper-ating funds.

“If we didn’t get the sup-port from the municipalities, we would not be in existence,” said Edgett.

Edgett said the mandate of the Centre has changed over the years since it opened. After he took over as execu-tive director in 2012, Edgett saw the facility was going through challenges and oper-ating with the focus on the corporate side of things, rather than on the community.

“And so my focus, when I took over in 2012, was to bring the community back to the centre and the centre back to the community. That was my mantra.”

And it’s been very suc-cessful with the community embracing the centre, he added, with many community groups now using the facility more often.

“It’s taken us 15 years to get where we should be,” said Edgett. “We’re at a stage now where we are reaching our mandate which is to be the centre of your experience.”

Looking to the future, the

Centre has entered into a memoran-dum of understand-ing with the Town of Sidney to develop the south east cor-ner of the lands for the new community safety building. The society submitted an application to the Supreme Court of British Columbia asking to amend their trust document, to allow them to enter into longer term

leases to accommo-date the Town.

“For us it estab-lishes a model for being financially sustainable,” said Edgett.

He said the idea of land leases allows the society to focus on the capi-tal replacement of the building and its assets. At 15 years

old, he said, the society will have to make repairs soon.

Edgett said the society sub-mitted the court application on Oct. 23, 2015. They are still waiting for a decision from the court.

If the change in their trust document is granted, Edgett said they will move ahead with the municipality on a lease agreement.

In the meantime, the Mary Winspear Centre is looking to modernize.

A big theatre renovation was completed in 2012 with new lighting and new sound equipment.

“Over the next 15 years, there will be a capital replace-ment plan in place,” Edgett said.

As for expansion?“In my five year plan, I’ve

looked at expansion,” replied Edgett, adding he doesn’t think their would be a signifi-cantly large expansion to the theatre.

“Right now we’re very fortu-nate because we don’t really compete with a lot of other theatres.”

In their five-year plan, the society will look at an external expansion to the southwest of the building to accommodate other user groups

The Centre’s current operat-ing budget is around $1.4 mil-lion.

Edgett said the society will also be looking to the Centre’s past, in celebrating the Cen-tre’s 15th anniversary. He said they are looking at holding a large event in September to recognize the milestone.

“It’s going to be all about the past, it’s going to be all about the hard work of the people that got us to where we are today, so those board members and those donors that had the foresight to cre-ate this amazing building. It’s going to be all about them to say thank you for everything that they’ve done ...”

Winspear has robust futureA

n anchor of the community, the Mary Winspear Centre sits at the west end of Beacon Avenue, providing an excellent bookend to that other Sidney raw: the Shaw Centre for the Salish Sea.

Today’s News Review features a story on the history and the future of the Winspear and while its past was fraught with ups and downs, the society that runs the Centre is looking ahead boldly.

This month, the Mary Winspear takes a big leap forward with one of the biggest named performers to hit the stage at the Charlie White Theatre — Jann Arden. The Canadian singer had to add a second show here in Sidney, as the first one sold out. Now, the second one is packed. That sort of response is wonderful for a facility that certainly deserves the attention.

The Centre, a cooperative effort between Sidney and North Saanich community members to bring groups together in one place for the benefit of all of the Saanich Peninsula, is looking to grow. While that might not mean an expansion is in the cards in the very near future, there is room to grow and further its mandate — as outlined by Executive Director Brad Edgett in today’s edition. As well, its success over the last few years means it can also sock money away to help renovate and upgrade the 15-year-old facility.

There will be some changes ahead for the Centre. The society that runs it is currently before the B.C. Supreme Court to have its trust document altered to allow them to lease property to the Town of Sidney. If successful, and the Town’s plans for a new fire hall/community safety building proceed, they will gain a steady source of extra income. That infusion will help the Mary Winspear Centre be more self-sustaining — or at least give it flexibility in the kinds of programs it can offer the community.

The Mary Winspear Centre has always tried to be open to new ideas and help where it can. For example, it opened its door to the area’s pickleball players, who were looking for more places to play. It was a pilot project, but the Centre made quite a few new friends.

And that’s what the Centre aims to be — a friend to the residents of the Peninsula, offering a plethora of artistic and community activities.

We should be grateful for the vision of many people, all those years ago, to ensure we would have such a robust community hall today.

Eleven thousand of us live in a delightful town. It is clear that we live in one of the best places on Earth.

We are also fortunate to enjoy the benefits of a small town in terms of Town Hall. There you can meet with the elected council. You can participate in public meetings. You can take your questions about upcoming development plans and have them answered. You can use the computer right in the lobby to access information about all the goings-on in town.

We have all the rights afforded us by the laws of the land, includ-ing the right to ask questions of our Town Council. And we have the right to our opinion and to express it. 

With rights come responsibili-ties. Major responsibilities include voting, paying taxes, obeying the law and being informed about the issues of the day.  

Key to being informed about the issues, is actually taking the time to do some research. By all means lis-ten to your friends and neighbours, but also take the initiative to do your own critical thinking and dig for the facts. 

Go to Town Hall where you will find a building full of helpful and courteous people able to help you find relevant information. Use your computer or the ones in the library or at Town Hall to read all the reports, studies, drawings, presenta-tions, agendas and correspondence on your chosen subject. Go look at the area in question. Look for other sources of information too and then

build your position on a foundation of available facts.

Let’s be thankful for the town that Sidney is and work together to make it “the best seaside town in Canada — vibrant, unique, welcom-ing.”

Let’s get Gateway startedI keep reading in the PNR that no

one in Sidney wants the Gateway Shopping Centre. Well, speak for yourself because I do not share that opinion.

I live in West Sidney and eagerly await  the approval and the ground breaking of this project.

I  lived here when this was a small town over 40 years ago, during which time many people moved to town. There have been an incred-

ible number of changes that have gone unnoticed by many and this town is certainly not what it used to be. Progress cannot be stopped. It is inevitable.

West Sidney Industrial area is the last thing we ever wanted at the top of our road but we are stuck with it. We have an option, we can stay and put up with it or move.

If people don’t like this shopping centre going in, then don’t ever come and shop in it. No one is ask-ing people to support it.

I agree there are many shops empty in Sidney owing to the high rents. Also they are very small shops, certainly none of them will fulfill the needs of those planning to go into Gateway.

At least with this centre, I may not have to go to Victoria every week for my shopping, thus saving money, time and gas emissions from driving. I can actually walk and not have to cross the highway that so many of you fear.

Let’s get this project started as soon as possible.

Gateway in the long termThe Gateway proposal by the Vic-

toria Airport Authority looks like it’s going to be a strip mall with lots of parking.

This is land that will never be able to be farmed again. These types of developments have a very good value in the short term but decrease in value rapidly over time.

I believe this project will neg-atively impact existing Sidney businesses in the short term by taking customers away. It will also induce traffic on not only Stirling Way but throughout the region as customers make their way to the site by automobile.

In the long term, it will also negatively impact the Town of Sidney because as the custom-ers are lured away from the traditional downtown, busi-nesses property values will fall. Another long term cost will be the opportunity lost to do something more valuable with that land. Imagine, in the future, some sort of passenger/ cargo terminal for railway or pod type transportation system.

We enjoy Island ViewThe Peninsula is a lovely part

of Canada. I have lived here for 40 years and enjoyed many of the great walks.

One of these is Island View Beach where, with other dog walkers, I have enjoyed nature and wildlife in the area. Last

year some of us saw sea otters interacting with a large eagle who was after their catch of fish. I also saw as many as 15 blue herons one morning. The Brant geese come in the spring and people and pets avoid the beach areas where they are seen. However I, along with many others, are shocked at the CRD`s report of changes, seek-ing to disallow people the joy of these regular walks with pets and families. Most special vari-ety of birds are migratory and only there for a short time. As far as I can see there has been no disappearance of wild life from the area because of dog walkers or families.

MSP costsRe: Time to take MSP off life

support (B.C. Views, Feb. 24).Tom Fletcher’s column on

MSP premiums brought to mind some research I con-ducted when I was at Decima Research in the late ‘80s. As is true today, there was concern among some that people were over-using medical care, in part

because they did not under-stand its cost. We tested views about costs of the system and looked at differences between provinces that charged premi-ums and those that did not. 

We found that a significant minority of respondents in provinces that had premiums believed their premiums cov-ered the entire cost of the health system. Far from mak-ing them more cautious about accessing the system, many of those premium-paying respon-dents thought “I’m paying for it, so why shouldn’t I go to the hospital/clinic whenever I want.”

As is the case today, propo-nents of premiums argued it would make people more sensi-tive to the costs of the services they used; the converse turned out to be true.

The only serious attempt to let people know about medi-cal costs directly was Alberta’s disastrous experiment in informing households about all the medical services consumed by the household in the previ-ous year.

Residents could have a say in how police resources are allocated this year in Sidney and North Saanich.

The local detachment of the RCMP is holding

a town hall meeting on Tuesday, March 8 at the Mary Winspear Centre. Corporal Erin Fraser says it’s an opportunity for people to talk with police on issues they feel are important for the RCMP to address.

“It’s not going to be a

place where people can come and complain,” Fraser noted, adding the public has other avenues to address those kinds of con-cerns.

“We want it to be a positive experience,” she said. “We want to

hear from people on how we’re doing and what they want to see more of, or less of.”

There will be a panel of officers from the Sidney North Saanich RCMP detachment, including Fraser, Staff Sergeant Anna Marie Mallard, community policing officer Con-stable George Phipps and others. Fraser said there will be a micro-phone available to people as well and a display on Crime Stop-pers.

She said the ses-sion will help the local police draw up its annual performance plan (APP), which sets out the strategic goals of the detachment. Information discussed at the meeting will be collected and consid-ered in the detach-ment’s 2016-2017 APP, which begins on April 1. That plan sets out local policing priorities and where resources will be allocated throughout the year.

Fraser said they are hoping for a diverse crowd of people at the town hall meeting, able to make a variety of suggestions and speak to issues in the com-munity that the police might be unaware of.

The session takes place in Room 2, start-ing at 6:30 pm. at the Mary Winspear Centre.

All-New electric Chevrolet Volt is auto show prizeThe future is electric when it comes to how our personal vehicles are powered.The transition from gasoline en-gines will not be complete for per-haps decades but early examples of electrical propulsion, be they pure electric, gasoline hybrids or plug-in hybrids, clearly indicate this positive direction is no longer a pipe dream of futurists.Last year, we gave away an all-electric Nissan LEAF in our Vancou-ver International Auto Show contest and it attracted a record-breaking 34,558 entries. This year, we are pleased to announce that we are giving you the chance to win the keys to an electric Chevrolet Volt provided by your BC Chevrolet Deal-ers. (see it at this year’s show at Vancouver Convention Centre West, Wednesday, March 23 to Sunday, March 27).The all-new 2016 Volt with extend-ed range, offers around 76 kilometres of pure

electric driving on a full charge. Once you exceed that range, the on-board gas-powered generator fires up quietly and ensures the battery tops up to keep the dual electric motors running. It offers the best of both worlds and removes the ‘range anxiety’ associated with an electric vehicle that must be hooked up for a recharge once it reaches its limit. Once the generator kicks in (range extender in manufac-turer-speak), on a full tank of regular gas, you could drive up to another 600 kilometres. That translates roughly to the equivalent fuel economy of about 5.7 L/100km.Yours truly spent a week driving the new Volt, which is a darn sight prettier and sleeker than the first generation. And now the all-new interior provides seating for five, which makes it far more appealing for families looking for an eco-

friendly sedan.

Big improvements to the instrument panel and controls. The Volt retains its dual digital colour displays with an eight-inch-diagonal reconfigu-rable screen. An additional eight-inch-diagonal touch screen in the centre of the instrument panel controls the Chevrolet MyLink system. You are constantly aware of how much juice you are using. Green cars always challenge drivers to compete with themselves to get the most out of the vehicle in fuel efficiency. For instance, when

I picked up the car the screen showed there was around 66-kilometres of electric range. A 10-minute freeway trip and almost 100 klicks and I was at 61-km range. Do the math! It’s magic!By the way, reaching 100 km/h reportedly takes just 8.4 seconds. I say reportedly because I didn’t have a stop watch. What

I love about electric power is the Formula 1 start you can make at the lights if you are feeling naughty. Zero to 50 in just 2.6 secs. Yep, a family sedan that leaves the rest in its dust! Not that I’m encouraging such behavior, just saying.Of course, city stop-go traffic soon brings one down to earth and drains the battery but if you anticipate lights, smooth out the acceleration

and make full use of the power regeneration when you brake or coast down hills, you can get back on the eco-track. Incidentally, you can set the amount of regeneration that suits your driving style.I charged overnight on a regular domestic garage power point. By morning it was at maximum range. You can cut that time in half and better with a charger designed to make maximum use of the power on tap.The Volt offers new standard and available safety features including a standard rear-vision camera, 10 standard air bags, including driver and front-passenger knee air bags. Also available as options are such active safety features as ‘lane keep’ assist with lane departure warning, side blind zone alert with lane change alert, rear cross traffic alert, forward collision alert with following distance indicator, front automatic braking, and advanced park assist with front and rear park assist (semi-automatic parallel parking).Pricing before government incentive rebates starts at $38,390. In B.C., with the full rebate, that drops to $33,390.Take one for a very quiet spin and then enter to win!

Carlie ConnollyNews staff

Prince Edward Island songwriter Lennie Gal-lant will take the stage at the Mary Winspear Centre tomorrow night.

Gallant is on tour sup-porting his two most recent recordings: Live Acoustic at The Carletonand his new release Searching For Abegweit.

The latter is a double

album that features 22 songs from his hit musi-cal theatre production Searching For Abegweit — The Island Songs and Stories of Lennie Gal-lant.

Gallant was hon-oured with a Canadian Folk Music Award in 2015 for Live Acoustic at The Carleton, while his album, When We Get There was nominated for a Juno Award.

Searching For Abeg-weit has proven to be quite the show. Gallant wrote it as a theatre production that’s been running in PEI for the last two summers and will be again this year.

“That particular production is based around … 12 albums and various other proj-ects and things I’ve been involved in,” he said.

And so, Gallant put together a theatre show that involves an album with songs mak-ing reference to PEI, a place in which he has deep roots.

“I ended up writing some new songs and grabbed the ones that I had written, put them together and made a two-and-a-half hour show that includes my sister’s art work.”

Karen Gallant’s paint-ings are paired with her brother’s 52 songs — all compiled in a book called Peter’s Dream

For his stop in Sid-ney this Saturday night, Gallant is touring with two other performers. His nephew, Jeremy Gallant, will be on key-board while Shannon Quinn (new to his tour) will play the violin.

“And its a lot of fun, a

lot of energy, all original songs,” he said.

Gallant is trying to get back into the stu-dio and work on getting his summer production together. He’s also try-ing to fit in a few con-certs here and there.

Gallant said he is hoping to put out a second book this year, a volume built around

his song The Innkeeper. He said it’s more of a Christmas story.

Saturday’s show is presented by Deep Cove Folk Music Soci-ety. Ticket information is available through the Mary Winspear Centre at 250-656-0275.

Sidney Friday Night Jazz Series welcomes acoustic group, Cold Cut Combo (CCC).

CCC will bring a mod-ernized form of Gypsy Jazz to St. Paul’s United Church, opening at 7 p.m. tonight (March 4).

Hailing from Sidney, Christopher Sartisohn and Aaron Watson make up the group and perform regularly throughout Greater Vic-toria.

They have had reg-ular gigs at the Vista 18, Bengal Lounge and Butchart Gardens. They also play weekly gigs and private functions and special events.

They play a form of Gypsy Jazz, which Sar-tisohn said was popu-larized by Django Rein-hardt of the Hot Club de France.

“We sort of do our own spin on it. Aaron sometimes sings, we do some accordion waltzes as well, we throw that in there for the Parisian flavour, but its primarily guitar driven music,” he said.

With a good tempo to it and a swinging, uplift-ing beat, he said people enjoy it.

“It’s fun to play, that’s the primary thing,” he said.

Having both grown up in Sidney, Watson said it’s been a place with great music.

“There was a lot of

pretty amazing music in Sidney when we were growing up and there always has been … tucked away. I mean some pretty acclaimed people came out of Sidney and made quite the careers for them-selves internationally,” he said.

The two have hung out since high school and both ended up in Victoria, play-ing together now for around 15 years as the Cold Cut Combo.

Sartisohn did sab-baticals and accompa-nied other professional musicians in China and throughout Europe, while Watson spent a lot of time working and playing in Japan and Africa.

Both would eventu-ally find their way back to the Island.

The two men have been into music since

a young age, Sartisohn when he was just five.

“My dad had an old broken guitar that had one string on it and I would take it and I would just tune it ran-domly and play the one string and then play along to records like ABBA ... and then even-tually ACDC,” he said.

The pair started with modern jazz, exploring its roots and eventu-ally found one of the world’s greatest guitar-ists, Django Reinhardt.

Watson began play-ing records when he was really little.

“I had a huge stack of 45s and just always played them and sang along,” he told the PNR.

Sartisohn helped design the Django Fest that’s been going on in Langley, Washington for 10 years. The event, he said, was a catalyst for popularizing this music

on the west coast.“It’s international

now and brings in real gypsies — those who are not afraid to fly any-ways,”  said Sartisohn with a chuckle.

“They’ll come and just blow everybody’s minds … the level of musicianship of some of these guys from Europe and eastern Europe as well some of the Romani gypsies in the original more tradi-tional stuff is absolutely incredible.”

Watson added the music is upbeat and tells a huge history, a history of migration.

“Through those festi-vals, we’ve been able to play with a lot of those people and get taught that language,” Watson said.

Sartisohn added that it’s right from the source.

“And this was before

YouTube and every-thing, so it’s learning from some of these authentic gypsy guys. They barely speak the English language and we don’t speak their language but music is a language,” he said.

While spending time in Europe, Sar-tisohn learned the genre directly from the

source and went to the original birthplace of Django Reinhardt, just outside of Paris.

There was a big gypsy festival there in 2003, he explained, on the 50th anniversary of his death.

“It (was) the world’s largest congregation of gypsies on the planet ever,” he said.

Cold Cut Combo will continue to play the festival this summer and plan to release a recording in the near future.

They play tonight at St. Paul’s United Church in Sidney at 7 p.m.

Tickets are available at the door with a rec-ommended donation of $10.

SIDNEY — The Sid-ney Concert Band-has chairs open for a few instrumentalists, according to band director Rob Bannister.

“We’ve got 39 mem-bers now,” Bannister told the News Review,

“and we can’t get much larger because our practice space is lim-ited, but we need nine more players to round out the band. It’ll be tight, but we can fit them in.”

Bannister said that

in order of importance (to the band, not musi-cally speaking) chairs are open for a tuba, two French horns, a melodic percussionist, two clarinets, an oboe, a bassoon and a trum-pet.

“Anyone who is inter-ested can Google Sid-ney Concert Band, and have a look at our web-site,” he said. “There are sound clips of our performances, and information about prac-tice times and contact information. We have players from age 17 to 80. Our music is gen-erally level four, with some level five arrange-ments, and one or two that are probably P (Professional) level.”

(Band music is graded by the degree of difficulty, from level one, which is very easy, to level P for musicians with years of experi-ence.)

The band practices at Peace Lutheran Church in Sidney on Monday nights and plays four or five con-certs a year and in the Canada Day and Sidney Sparkles parades.

Applicants are encouraged to attend a  regular  Mon-day  evening rehearsal.

The band’s next con-cert is at the Mary Win-spear Centre, 2 p.m. on May 29.

For information, con-tact Rob Bannister at [email protected].

Jean Dunn marks a quarter-centurySteven HeywoodNews staff

Twenty-five years ago, Jean Dunn took her first steps into the world of real estate and hasn’t looked back.

On Feb. 25, she and her co-workers at Royal LePage by the Sea in Sidney, marked her quarter-century milestone. They invited friends, family and clients to their office for a bit of a party.

Dunn originally started in real estate in 1990 with Realty World. She opened an office in 1996 and continued here after the com-pany was bought out in around 2001 by Royal LePage.

Dunn credits her success and longevity in the business to being surrounded by a great team.

“And for me, it has always been about the people,” she said. “I enjoy helping them find their homes.”

Dunn said over those 25 years, there has been a lot of change in Sidney and around the Peninsula. She said she has seen the com-munity grow — and her clients have families of their own. Some of them are even coming back to her today — meaning she could very well go another couple of decades yet.

Steven Heywood/News staff

Sidney Realtor Jean Dunn recently celebrated 25 years helping people buy and sell homes on the Saanich Peninsula.

The Peninsula News Review is looking to help tell your stories about buy-ing and selling your home.

Contact us to share your story and it just might help someone else going through one of the biggest events of their lives.

You can call the editor at 250-656-1151, ext. 128 or email [email protected] to share your ideas.

John McKinley Black Press

NANAIMO — Free money? Yeah, right.

It’s hard to overcome a reaction hammered into us by countless buyer-beware too-good-to-be-true stories, but this news is both good and true.

You can get free money — up to $2,000 — for your child’s edu-cation with no more effort than a bit of paperwork.

In fact, Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo will do most of the work for you.

It’s called the Canada Learning Bond, and it’s a federal program that far too few people are aware of, or taking advantage of, accord-ing to Rolanda Murray.

“My experience has been that all parents dream big for their chil-dren,” the VIU CLB co-ordinator said.

You don’t have to spend any of your own

money and you won’t be making any tedious long-term commit-ments. All you need is an application (which VIU will help you com-plete), a child born in 2004 or later, and a combined household income of no more than $45,000.

The child gets $500 upon registration to use toward a post-sec-ondary education — at VIU or any institution of their choice —  and $100 each subsequent

year until the child reaches 15.

VIU president Ralph Nilson made VIU the only university in Can-ada to have a full-time person on staff dedi-cated to encouraging and helping people sign up.

“Access to education is a university value and a personal value,” Murray said. “He just decided VIU can make an impact.”

“There are an awful lot of kids in Nanaimo that live below the pov-erty line,” Nilson said. “We want to give them the tools to move out of poverty.”

Murray said regis-tration numbers have since increased to 32 per cent, but that still means there are 4,200 kids in the Nanaimo postal code who qualify but have yet to apply.

“We want to get up to 75 or 80 per cent,” Nils-son said.

But it’s not just the

Nanaimo area that has child poverty issues and VIU is not just com-mitted to helping those communities where it has campuses. Murray encourages parents and community organi-zations from anywhere on Vancouver Island to contact her.

“I want them to know that I am available to put them through this process,” she said.

According to Mur-ray, the main issue with the program is lack of awareness. Having the university shepherd the process can help erase any skepticism some might have for corporate or govern-ment initiatives in gen-eral.

Murray also helps families access other grants, like the B.C. Edu-cation Savings grant which offers $1,200 to kids between the ages of 6 and 9.

She said under the right circumstances a student can leverage enough to pay for his or her first year of uni-versity. But even having just the initial $500 in the bank can inspire a different mindset.

“It changes the dynamic in the fam-ily from ‘will I go?’ to ‘where will I go and what will I be?’”

For details, go to www2.viu.ca/clb/ or call Murray at 250-753-3245, ext. 2712.

Panthers lead playoff series

SIDNEY — Hundreds of runners of varying skill and competition levels will be in Sidney and North Saanich on Sunday for the Bazan Bay 5K.

Sponsored by Synergy Health Management, the footrace features a fast field of some of the top runners on Vancouver Island and the mainland — as well as recre-ational runners out to enjoy the area scenery.

The Bazan Bay 5K is the fifth race in the Frontrunners Island Race Series and starts and finishes at Tulista Park in Sidney. The route will take runners south along Lochside Drive and back.

“Everything is in place for another great event,” said Race Director Wayne Coul-son. “We attract some of the Island’s best athletes and

with registrations well over 500 so far, we should see 600 at the start line on Sunday.”

In last year’s event, Olym-pian Hilary Stellingwerff of Victoria was the top finisher among the women.

University of Calgary run-ner Stefan Daniels placed first overall in a time of 15 minutes and 11 seconds (15:11) in the 2015 race. He was followed in second by the University of Victoria’s Ben Weir (15:18) and Shoayb Baseal (15:24) in third.

Sidney’s Peterson Perrin came 26th overall in a time of 16:46. North Saanich’s Finn Battersby, racing in the men’s 01 to 15 age category, com-pleted the course in 17:39.

The race gets under way at 11 a.m. and portions of Loch-side Drive will be closed.

Bazan Bay fast 5K run is this Sunday
