North Saanich’s municipal election has come down to two camps, squaring off against each other in the final vote this Saturday.

Communities like Sidney and Central Saanich are enjoy-ing spirited races of their own, but in North Saanich, two opposing factions are pitting their candidates against the others in an attempt to wrestle control of the community.

The only registered slate of candidates on the Saanich Peninsula are with Team North Saanich (TNS), whose members made up the majority on the council the last three years. Incumbents Conny McBride, Craig Mearns and Dunstan Browne are joined on the TNS ticket by new-comers Jack McClintock and Steve Pearce.

They face a strong opposition, less organized, but put-ting forward their own list of preferred candidates. This opposition comes from three web-based camps — Keep North Saanich Rural, North Saanich Community Voices and Save Our North Saanich. They share common inter-ests — and share information freely between their web-sites — and oppose TNS.

Both sides agree this year’s civic election in North Saa-nich has focussed a great deal on the philosophical differ-ences between them. In both cases, their representatives say they will, ultimately, respect the wishes of the voters.

Springfield Harrison and Bernadette Green make up two members of the Community Voices camp. They have fought the TNS majority through this last term on its stance on housing issues, as well as the disfunction on council that started at their inaugural meeting in 2011.

“It’s interesting that there’s more than one group,” Har-rison said. “Other people have been bothered to the same extent as us.”

The pair say they feel TNS during this last term, never made it clear what they were planning to do — to set the stage for new and different housing projects.

Opposing camps set for battleNorth Saanich’s civic election could split between philosophies

The Mary Winspear Centre in Sidney is organizing this year’s Toys for Tots campaign.


As the candidates in the Saanich Peninsula municipali-ties have been front-and-cen-tre during the 2014 civic elec-tion campaign, those seeking a seat with the local school board are working just as hard to reach voters.

The Peninsula News Review concludes its School District 63 (Saanich) candidates pre-view with a look at those run-ning for the two seats in North Saanich and the single chair representing Sidney.

North SaanichCandidates: Robb Marty, Elsie McMurphy and Barb Menzies.To Elect: two

In North Saanich, it’s a race between experience and youth.

On the ballot this year are: Barb Menzies, the incumbent seeking a return to her North Saanich seat after her first term; Elsie McMur-phy, who has left municipal politics after a single term of office with North Saanich District council. McMurphy was a school trustee for nine years (2002-2011) prior to jump-ing into municipal politics.

They face a challenge from Robb Marty, who admits he is inexperienced when it comes to local politics. He also faces a hurdle in that he lives in Colwood and is actually run-ning as a municipal council-lor there. Marty is a college student and says he has a lot of interest in issues on both sides of the political fence. He admitted, however, he doesn’t think he’ll succeed this time around. The biggest knock against him, is that he admit-ted he doesn’t know much about School District 63.

That said, Marty noted he wants a fresh perspective on the board of trustees, noting as the youngest of the North

Saanich trio, he “can relate to contemporary youth and fam-ilies.”

Even so, Marty admits to a lack of knowledge about the issues in the district and is approaching this campaign from the bigger picture of education as a whole.

Menzies, the incumbent, said serving on the board of trustees is a big commitment — more so this term as it has been extended to four years, like all municipal councils in this election.

She is seeking a return to the table to add her voice to the ongoing challenges in the system.

“I don’t feel the government walks the walk on education as an investment,” she said. “I think that’ll come back to haunt us.”

A long-time teacher (27 years) in the district, Men-zies said she saw funding as one of the biggest issues in the district over her first term.

“You can only take so many snipes for so long,” she said, noting the district faces constant cuts in its

annual budgets. While she admitted much of

this is due to declining enrol-ment over the last few years, there’s light on the horizon.

“For a long time, we’ve had to look outside of the box. In the past 10 to 12 years, some schools were closed and that’s an emotional issue.”

Yet, she said new programs were created in the district, including a successful interna-tional students program.

Overall, Menzies said It’s a great school district with some challenges to overcome — the biggest being the fall-out from this past summer’s labour strife. She said there are dedicated teachers and administrators ready to right

the ship, noting optimism is high and the district needs

people who are positive and keep morale in mind while they work to balance the budget.

Menzies’ main goals are to work to mend fences, explore larger issues facing the district and to help seek out new opportunities for students.

McMurphy, who returns to the

school board race this fall, sees a chance to once again make a difference.

“I had worried about the labour dis-pute between gov-ernment and teach-ers. Now that there’s a deal, there’s a big job ahead to rebuild morale, to help knit the school sys-tem back together. Maybe there’s some-thing I can do.”

McMurphy admit-ted a lot has hap-pened in the three years she was out of school board politics, a lot of changes. The system, though, has been bruised by the labour strife, she said. McMurphy added a strong board can set priorities, advocate for better invest-ment in public education and work to help students.

“I’m not looking to fix a bro-ken system. We have excellent schools and a wonderful staff at all levels.”

McMurphy said she is running to address the A-B-Cs: Advocacy for public education, Building for the future and Children — putting them first.

SidneyCandidates: Allan Collier, Jason Price and Jim StandenTo Elect: one

The race for a position on the board of trustees for

School District 63 (Saanich) in Sidney sees a field of energetic candidates.

Jim Standen is the incum-bent, having served three terms. His involvement started nine years ago as a member of a parent advisory council at his son’s school — McTavish Elementary. He became more involved at that time when the school was slated for closure.

Even having gone through that, Standen said, relation-ships among the teachers, board and administration have remained strong. Yet, he noted, the summer’s labour dispute means all sides have to come together.

“Teachers love what they do and they are very pro-fessional in the dis-trict,” he said, “so this can turn around very quickly.”

As chair of the district’s finance and facilities com-mittee during his nine years on the board, Standen said they’ve worked hard to keep

impacts of government fund-ing reductions low. He said the decade-long trend of declining enrolment seems to be revers-ing.

“However, we need to look at spending money in the best way possible,” he said.

For Standen, issues around funding levels, moderniz-

ing education and offering students the best opportu-nities possible are his priorities if re-elected. What sets him apart from his challengers, he said, is experience.

Allan Collier, a challenger, sees an opportunity to work at the local level as a school trustee. He has run

for office in the past and said he served on the board from 2009 to 2011.

A common thread between Greene, Harrison and other TNS opponents, is the district’s offi-cial community plan. They say they want it followed by local politicians — and say it calls for slower growth than the esti-mated 520 new homes that could be built now that the munici-pality changed its policies and bylaws to allow more growth in a shorter period of time.

Candidates with TNS dispute this, saying they’ve only ever acted on numerous studies, sur-veys and consultant reports that suggest most residents agree there needs to be more diversi-fied housing options.

“North Saanich has always been very split,” said TNS can-didate and incumbent council-lor Conny McBride. “It’s gotten worse, but I don’t think it needs to be that way.”

She said It’s naive to think any community will always remain the same — or that all candi-dates vote the same way.

“You’ve got to decide what’s best for the community.”

McBride added past studies and a more recent consultant report showed people were in favour of more and varied hous-ing — so TNS members acted, something they had said they would do.

Don Enright, whose Save North Saanich website is the newcomer among opponents to

TNS, said North Saanich’s open spaces are subject to attack, and that’s the root of why he’s opposed to the slate of candi-dates and is providing one of his own.

Like his counterparts, Enright said he’s not anti-growth — only opposed to what they call rapid growth outside of the OCP.

“It’s too much, too fast,” he said.

Harrison added the OCP does set out guidelines for growth in North Saanich.

‘It’s there because that’s what the people wanted,” he said.

Greene added the OCP was something that people counted on but the council major-ity changed that when they changed parts of it without extensive public input — some-thing they think was lacking throughout the entire last term of council.

TNS candidate Craig Mearns, an incumbent district councillor, called the opposition websites very negative and the people behind them he termed as oppo-nents to everything TNS does — from their stance on hous-ing to their work to keep taxes low. Yet, Mearns, McBride and newcomer to TNS Steve Pearce said while they are a slate of can-didates, they won’t always vote the same.

“We did not always vote as a block,” Mearns said. “We don’t have a leader telling anyone how to vote.”

He said TNS is made up of like-minded candidates who wanted to share campaign resources.

Yet, he agreed their goals are similar when it comes to local politics.

“We’ve talked about build-ing more affordable housing, decreasing the amount of local regulation, keeping taxes low,” he explained. “These are the things we heard from people that were annoying them.”

Mearns said growth in North Saanich had come to nearly a standstill and in the face of demands for more housing from local business and industrial groups, decided to respond to that need.

With all the changes that have come to pass, Mearns agrees there needs to be an OCP review, suggesting it could confirm what TNS has been pushing all along.

Pearce added joining the slate was a risk, but feels the issues they agree on are only the start.

“The community atmosphere is more important than showing up angry about a single issue,” he said. “There needs to be a wide view on the community as a whole.”

While new to local politics Pearce said he can see the two sides squaring off in this elec-tion. Members of TNS agree the result on Nov. 15 is anyone’s guess. Harrison and other TNS opponents add that no matter the outcome Saturday, they will respect the will of the voters.

Election 2014

Getting to know the candidatesToday’s edition features the final round of ques-

tions and answers posed to the council candidates in the Town of Sidney.

In Wednesday’s edition, there was a duplication of candidate Q&As due to an error in uploading an older version of the page to the PNR’s production department. We apologize for the error.

All candidates — in Sidney, Central Saanich and North Saanich — will have received space in the PNR

prior to the election this Saturday, Nov. 15. These stories and other elec-tion coverage have been archived at www.peninsulanewsreview.com under our elections tab. Check it out, learn about the candidates and be sure to get out and vote in your com-munity on Saturday.

— Steven Heywood, editor

Sidney: The Peninsula News Review concludes its Q&As today

Occupation: A Paddle in the Park Kaya-king and Beacon Tax Services Sidney.

Background: I was first elected to municipal office

when I was 22. Pervious to that I was an intern researcher on Parliament Hill. I own/operate two small business in Sidney. I am currently on council.

1. Why are you running for council?To give back to Sidney. It is something

I have found I am good at. I want to mod-ernize democracy and bring it forward by

using the current technology available and make some services available even when the hall is closed.

2. What are your top three issues to tackle, if elected?Smart growth concepts. Using technology to get the public

involved such as Sidney Says (website). I am also looking for efficiencies by modernizing how the

municipality works and how the public interacts with the local

government.

3. Is council’s relationship with the business community adequate and what would you change if elected?

Trying to get the business community into a cohesive group. I support the Mayor’s Task Force recommendations. It is a road map forward. Once there is buy in from the merchants, I am looking forward to implementing the road map.

4. What sort of balance should Sidney seek to achieve on its

waterfront land?The waterfront is an asset all residents and visitors enjoy.

Where we can get waterfront land and keep it public adds an amenity to the town.

5. How would you contribute to people’s enjoyment in liv-ing, working and playing in Sidney?

We have done a lot to improve the ambiance downtown. The lighting makes it more welcoming in the evening to have a walk down Beacon Avenue.

The gardening and trees also add to the welcoming and peaceful aspect of our town.

I support enhancing the outdoor pubic spaces Sidney has. Getting people to open up about what they enjoy in Sidney

will give us a better idea where to enhance.

Occupation: Retired police officer. Background: Resident of Sidney for 31

years, former councillor 1987-2008. Former police officer in Oak Bay. Provincial Special Constable and Peace Officer (36 years). Wife Debi Rich-Jones with two adult chil-dren.

1. Why are you running for council?I am running to represent the taxpayer

as an advocate of reasonable spending by council, with corresponding low tax impacts.

2. What are your top three issues to tackle, if elected?1) Review of the Official Community Plan and local area plans.

2) Review the Town’s capital spending plans and amend if possi-ble to minimize tax impacts. 3) Re-assess all currently proposed major projects.


I feel that the current relationship with the business com-munity by council is adequate. Council has a responsibility to provide infrastructure and an environment in which business can be successful.

While striving to reduce tax impacts for all, I would never advocate doing it at the expense of the residential taxpayer. Ongoing liaison with business should be pursued to ensure we are being as responsive to their needs as is possible.

Occupation: Retired civil engineer.

Background: Twenty-eight year

Sidney residential tax-payer, 16 year com-munity volunteer and presently finishing off a

second term as a Sid-ney councillor.

1. Why are you run-ning for council?

I consider myself open-minded, decisive and keep a balanced

view on all town mat-ters. I bring years of community service and leadership to the coun-cil chambers. I have the time and energy to be a full time councillor so I believe I remain qual-

ified to be one of the Town councillors.

2. What are your top three issues to tackle, if elected?

• I hear continually about the difficult inter-face between residents’ and employee parking; there needs to be a

solution for this conun-drum.

• Sidewalks; there are not enough of them and in places are too narrow. This could be solved by working aggressively within the long term Town infra-structure program and increasing the width of our sidewalks on replacement.

• In order to ensure that Sidney remains an attractive seaside town I believe it is essential we continue to protect and fund our water-front and marine infra-structure.

3. Is council’s rela-tionship with the busi-ness community ade-quate and what would you change if elected?

I have been the liai-son between coun-cil and the Chamber of Commerce and I believe in the main we share common goals. The Sidney Business Improvement Area (SBIA) is working well with the Town. We share office space and manpower to improve

the economic sustain-ability of the Town. The Town continues to pro-vide a variety of park-ing for customers.

Do we have sufficient parking? No there is always a requirement for more, however by supporting downtown residential develop-ment there would be more pedestrian shop-pers present.

4. What sort of bal-ance should Sidney seek to achieve on its waterfront land?

Council has formed a Ports Committee made up of the mayor, several councillors (myself being one) and citizens with waterfront experience. This group looks at the long range requirements and fund-ing for the sustainabil-ity of our waterfront. The most expensive and notable infrastruc-ture includes our three marine structures and our long seaside walk-ways which require continual maintenance.

5. How would you

contribute to people’s enjoyment in living, working and playing in Sidney?

Ensure maintenance funds are available to support our present sports and recreation infrastructure. We need to continue to work and cooperate with our local service clubs that provide such items as playground equipment and water spray park equipment with the Town fund-ing the supporting civil infrastructure. Future capital expenditures could include such initiatives as a pickle ball court, resurfacing Iroquois tennis courts and perhaps providing more bike paths. Sup-port to our museum, Mary Winspear Centre and, the library con-tinues to be important for our residents. The next council will be engaged in the formula-tion of the new parks master plan and these preceding issues could be, inter alia, included in that plan.

Continued from page 54. What sort of balance should

Sidney seek to achieve on its water-front land?

Sidney waterfront lands belong to the residents and should be main-tained as such.

In my view there is the potential

for better use of our ferry terminal property.

5. How would you contribute to people’s enjoyment in living, work-ing and playing in Sidney?

I will work tirelessly to see Sidney remain a safe and livable community.

Taxes ideally should remain as close to CPI as is reasonable and cur-rent amenities should be maintained and/or improved.

MervynLougher-Goodey

Mervyn Lougher-GoodeyCouncil candidates — Town of Sidney

Occupation: Landscape manager.

Background: I was born

and raised in the Sidney/ North Saanich area and have lived here all my life. I am mar-ried to Sarah (10 years) and we have three boys. In 2002 I

began operating a landscaping fran-chise in Sidney and quickly grew it into the largest one in B.C. I sold the company in 2010 and it is still oper-ating in the Sidney area today. I cur-rently manage a large landscaping company that also services the Sid-ney area.

1. Why are you running for coun-cil?

I truly believe it’s time to have a youthful perspective on Sidney Town council.

For years I have watched my friends and other young families move away to more affordable areas. The allure of Sidney to the retired and wealthy folks, allows for higher

prices, but we need to have a balance.

Most people go about their daily busi-

ness and think Sidney is doing fine, but what will it look like in 20 years?

We end up pricing ourselves out of a work force. We need to take action to attract and retain young families and create housing they can afford. I want to make positive change so that my kids can enjoy what I have enjoyed in Sidney.


Affordable housing, youth and young family recreation, community involvement and steady, sustainable economic development.

Let’s turn those “for lease” signs into “coming soon” signs in our downtown core.


I think the current council has made an effort to help local business but we can always do better.

The downtown has asked for help and if elected, I will be there to listen and take appropriate action to sup-port Sidney businesses.

4. What sort of balance should Sid-ney seek to achieve on its waterfront land?

My personal view would be to have some community based business, an indoor play zone for families and a Granville Island type of feel, i.e; sitting areas, shops, open air market, maybe some residential on top?

With that said, I want the residents of Sidney to participate in the plan-ning and development of these lands.

5. How would you contribute to people’s enjoyment in living, working and playing in Sid-ney?

Sidney has many great events throughout the year. I would continue to encourage and support the many events that bring enjoyment to the people of Sid-ney.

I would work with staff on infra-structure projects that make sense to Sidney to better traffic conditions for cars, bikes and pedestrians.

Let’s not forget about being fiscally responsible, making decisions that provide little to no increase to the taxes.

Occupation: Captain, CRJ-705 Air Canada Express.

Background: Elected to Council, Town

of Sidney, 1999-2005.Resident of Sidney for 30

years and plans to retire in Sidney.

Married with two grown children.

1. Why are you running for council?

Seeing that a new mayor will be elected this elec-tion, I see that the team will need a strong, profes-sional and positive councillor to allow council to give Town staff a clear direction as to what the residents and businesses of the Town of Sidney need and require.


1) To see council work cooperatively and pro-gressively with the businesses of Sidney to make Sidney the economic hub of the Saanich Penin-sula. This also includes working with the Victo-ria Airport Authority and their land use program, since many community families work with the businesses associated within those lands.

2) To keep the waterfront lands of downtown Sidney for all to enjoy. The old Port Sidney lands need to be included in a revitalization plan.

3) We must always remember to include the resi-

dents and businesses of West Sidney when council gives direction to Town staff.

3. Is council’s relationship with the busi-ness community adequate and what would you change if elected?

The business sector in Sidney is very valuable to the sustainability of our Town and must be on council’s radar at all times. We must remember that our downtown serves as the economic centre of the Peninsula.

Town staff has been proactive in develop-ing additional parking and the infrastructure to accommodate the future needs of our downtown core. We now need to work with business to ful-fill their future needs while keeping our Town’s charm.

4. What sort of balance should Sidney seek to achieve on its waterfront land?

Our protection of our waterfront started with the redevelopment of Resthaven hospital with waterfront dedicated to the public walkway.

There is still commercial land to be developed and as it was with The Pier development the waterfront of those properties will be top priority to be retained by the Town for the public.

5. How would you contribute to people’s enjoyment in living, working and playing in Sid-ney?

Our infrastructure and parks are two priorities that need to be maintained. Council must clearly direct Town Staff in continuing to seek the rejuve-nation of our downtown.

Continued safe access to and from West Sidney must also be addressed.

YOUR VIEW

How I empathized with Alex and Bozenna Apouchtine when I read their letter in the PNR (densification failure in Saanichton and Brentwood Bay). In North Saanich, we have suffered with identical issues.

I strongly urge all concerned citizens who may feel that their council has been following its own agenda while totally disregarding the sentiments of their constituents, to ensure that they are fully aware of the important issues in the forthcoming election and to question the candidates on topics such as:

• How urgent do they feel about the need for an OCP review?

• Are they prepared to support a bylaw that would prohibit spot zoning?

• Do they support the last OCP review’s findings that North Saanich residents wish to maintain the rural, marine and agricultural nature of the municipality, or do they have a different vision?

• Is urbanization truly in the best interests of North Saanich or in the best interests of speculators and developers?

Residents of North Saanich, if you have strong feelings about the direction being taken in your municipality, now is the time to become informed and then vote.

Only you can truly make a difference.

A dogmatic attitideRe: Gases Spew from the Legisla-

ture, Nov. 5, 2014.I wish to comment on this recent

editorial by Tom Fletcher. It is not only right-wing thinking people that

hold the view that human beings are not responsible for climate changes the Earth has experienced over the past 50 years or so.

There are a significant number of climatologists, meteorologists and other scientists, that believe rather than humankind, there are other forces at work, namely our sun, that have largely been responsible for the climate changes experienced.

Tom Fletcher is unfortunately incorrect when he states that there remains a climate debate on this vital subject.

Certainly, there should be an ongoing open discourse, but instead there has developed a dogmatic attitude that is preventing intelligent conversation in regard to this very important subject.

Rod ChiltonSaanichton

We need more Red GreenFor two elections running, the

mantra “We will keep council off your back, out of your wallets and off your property” has been touted by some candidates as an aiming point for municipal government.

Margaret Thatcher would approve but she is gone. Elsewhere there is a substantial segment of the voting population that says “any-body but …”.

Once again we risk a stifling polar-ization. In 2014, here in North Saan-ich we need less Margaret Thatcher and “anybody-but” and instead more Red Green as in “We’re all in this together so keep your sticks on the ice.” We need to be creative and collaborative in order to maintain a vibrant human community living in balance with our beautiful natu-ral community. Come to think of it,

a mantra more suited to our times might be “creativity, collaboration, and community.” What is your man-tra for North Saanich public life?

After November 15 our newly elected councilors need to reset the tone of public life by example, both leading and listening, contributing their wisdom and experience and voting according to their individual best judgments, all guided by the Official Community Plan. The Offi-cial Community Plan is as close as we can get to a public covenant that enables us to live well together.

The rest of us, ordinary citizens, need to be creatively active as well, taking an interest in public life, par-ticipating in the renewal of our Offi-cial Community Plan.

Political alignment may not be the only quality worth considering in a candidate. How about pleasant manners, demonstrated capability, openness to new ideas, willingness to do the hard work to arrive at effective compromise, and even a sense of humour?

Hands in cookie jarTom Fletcher’s column in the

Peninsula News Review, Is CUPE running your city hall, nails it. Like the Atlantic provinces and Ontario, organized public labour unions are ensuring that they can get their hands in the cookie jar and actively work to exclude any candidates for public office who might want to keep a lid on costs.

We have a chance to make a difference

Make it a good oneW

ill you vote tomorrow in the civic election in your community?

It’s a question people have probably been asking each other — and themselves — since the

campaigning really got into full swing back in October. It’s a question we want to ask our readers today, the day before general election day in Sidney, North Saanich and Central Saanich.

We’re not expecting an answer. In fact, this is more like a rhetorical question, designed to prompt thought on the act of voting and whether one feels informed enough to make an educated decision.

We’re also not going to beat people over the head with begging them to “get out and vote, no matter what, because it’s your so-called democratic duty.”

Rather, we hope that those people who are going to the polls tomorrow are informed voters. We hope that they have taken some time to examine the issues and determine how the candidates stack up and which ones come close to an individual’s values, wants and needs for community.

It’s taking responsibility for that single vote that enables democracy to work. Voting blindly just leaves the electoral process to chance.

With declining voter turnout rates across the country, there has been discussion around the chances of mandatory voting — forcing people to take part in an election at the cost of a fine or through tax incentives.

There’s little value to this, in our view, as it has people who are uninformed and simply do not wish to be punished, casting their ballots. Again, we end up with random results. Would mandatory voting encourage more voter education? Possibly, but can that education be mandatory as well? Costly and unlikely.

No, our communities, provinces and the nation rely on people who take it upon themselves to know the issues and know the candidates, hopefully voting in line with their values. So, among those low voter turnout numbers, we see the more dedicated among us doing all of the heavy lifting and, in essence, making decisions for the rest of us.

If we’re comfortable with that, by all means maintain the status quo.

If you’re not, be prepared to put in a little effort — for that will make all the difference in how engaged one feels in the democratic process.

Occupation: Environ-mental consultant.

Background: Sidney councillor

from 1993 to 2008; resi-dent of Sidney since 1984; President, Sidney Museum and Archives (2013/14); President, B.C. Library Trustees Assoc. (2007); numer-ous positions on Town of Sidney and CRD com-mittees and boards between 1994 and 2008.

1. Why are you run-ning for council?

Sidney is facing some serious challenges over the next few years. There are also some things, such as Bea-con Wharf, which are overdue for attention. I believe I can make a difference by being on council.


(1) Strengthening our downtown in the face

of existing challenges; (2) Sensible and strate-gic spending priorities and conservative man-agement to minimize tax increases; (3) The latest census shows that our median age has increased. Clearly our efforts to main-tain a balanced com-munity aren’t working. We need to reverse this trend.

3. Is council’s rela-tionship with the busi-ness community ade-quate and what would you change if elected?

I think the Town com-municates fairly well with the business com-munity, but the rela-tionship is stressed by economic pressures on businesses. There is a

need to pay more atten-tion to the industrial area. We need to inves-tigate potential incen-tives to encourage downtown revitaliza-tion and invest in eco-nomic development.

4. What sort of bal-

ance should Sidney seek to achieve on its waterfront land?

It is important for us to maintain Tsehum Harbour as a working harbor. Shoal Harbour needs to be protected as a migratory bird sanctuary with com-patible, low density res-idential development

along its shores. The waterfront lands in the vicinity of the end of Beacon Avenue should be a people place with predominantly mixed land uses. The water-front along Lochside drive should remain as park and amenities (e.g. boat launch). The Anacortes Ferry Ter-minal is economically important but seriously under-utilized. We need to develop a commu-nity-driven vision that makes better use of this land.

The remaining water-

front lands should remain residential (with mixed densities — not all condos) with pub-lic beach accesses and waterfront walkway. It is also important to maintain ocean views-capes from our streets.

5. How would you contribute to people’s enjoyment in living, working and playing in Sidney?

Sidney should remain pedestrian-friendly with vibrant community events. We need to maintain our amenities, develop more “people places” and enhance the Bea-con Ave. streetscape. We need to encourage a greater diversity of things to do, particu-larly for families and in the evenings.

Communication Strategies for People with Hearing Loss

People that live with hearing loss can tell you how frustrat-ing communication breakdown can be. In some situations it can be di� cult and tiring to just carry on a basic conver-sation. � e use of hearing aids is important when treatable hearing loss is present, but additional communication strategies can help people with hearing loss stay connected to the people around them. Some of these strategies are for the communication part-ner. For example, it is useful to get the person’s attention before talking, and to speak facing the person and from a relatively close distance. Make sure your face and mouth are visible, and speak slowly and clearly instead of trying to shout. If the person with hearing loss is not hearing your message, try re-wording instead of repeating verbatim. It is also useful to let the person know what the topic of conver-sation is before talking, so that they have context. Individuals with hearing loss can use strategies such as having conversations from a close distance in an environ-ment with good lighting and without too much extraneous noise. If there is a communication breakdown, it is import-ant to say so, and to ask the speaker to repeat or rephrase what is said. When living with hearing loss, it is important to let people know how they can help you hear them better. Using communication strategies is crucial for everyone but particularly for people with hearing loss to maintain the connection and interaction with friends and family.

Luck and opportu-nity paved the way for lifelong friendships and health.

That’s how Maureen Hibberson sees sports in her life.

“I come from a very athletic family [and had] all kinds of oppor-tunity,” she said. “My mother and dad put me in everything. They thought it was a good idea for youngsters to be in a variety of sports.”

Her success in five sports in particular earned her a place in

the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame this year; inducted along-side eight other local athletes at the Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort and Spa late last month.

“I was absolutely flabbergasted. I had no idea it was even being considered,” she said. “I feel I’m representing a lot of women in my generation. In our era people played every-thing. There weren’t specialties.”

Hibberson held her own in five sports: bad-minton, swimming, ten-nis, field hockey and golf.

While now a youth

may focus on one or two sports to excel in, she says it was just dif-ferent back then.

“They’re just differ-ent. My era was lots of fun and I was just happy to be in sports,” she said. “I enjoyed

everything I did.” They came very nat-

urally for the Oak Bay resident.

When pressed, she admits that the B.C. individual title in syn-chronized swimming, won twice, was a bit

sweeter as it’s a sport she had to work a little harder at.

“That was the most important one, I had to practise the most.”

But perhaps her big-gest achievements came in badminton,

which she played from the age of 14 to 79.

Over that time period she won seven club titles, 20 city titles, four Pacific Northwest titles, 40 provincial titles, six national titles and two international titles.

“I played it the lon-gest and travelled the most with it,” she said.

Perhaps the best thing that came from

the sport: “I met my husband playing bad-minton,” she said.

They partnered for both bridge and bad-minton tournaments without fighting.

“So we thought it was OK to get married,” she said with a laugh.

She came to golf later, after 1958 when she did her knee in. On the advice of the then Victo-ria Cougars hockey club doctor, Hibberson didn’t get the carti-lage scraped as was common practice at the time.

“Two years later I was fine and that hasn’t bothered me since,” she said.

Having given up the other sports, Hibberson still plays four rounds a week at Uplands Golf Club where she’s a member – another family tradition. There

too her name is etched on mul-tiple trophies.

“It’s fun. There’s lots of cama-raderie in a place like this. If it rains we play bridge,” she said. “That’s the joy of this. I have friends from all of the sports. That’s the true reward.”

B.C.’s Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie says recent media reporting that claims seniors in this country are privileged does not reflect reality for most elders in this province.

Mackenzie told the Peninsula News Review it’s important for people to understand that while there are many seniors who are able to provide for themselves, they do not represent the major-ity of elders in B.C.

“A majority of seniors in B.C.

are living on $25,000 a year,” she said, adding an estimated 52,000 earn only $17,000 a year.

What’s missing from the media reporting, she said, is the differ-ence between a senior’s income and their assets — which does not always translate into how wealthy they are.

Some people do have assets

and investments outside of the government entitlements that help them provide for them-selves in their senior years, she continued, but many others do not.

Even if their income is rea-sonable, Mackenzie said, going into residential care can eat up as much as 80 per cent of their income.

Mackenzie said that during her travels across the province over the last six months, she did not see a majority of seniors who were well off enough not to require public services.

B.C. Seniors Advocate

Most seniors are not spoiled and rich

“A majority of seniors in B.C. are living on $25,000 a year.”

Move over Obama, make way for the HellcatWashington D.C. - The U.S. capital is an exciting place to be, with all those presidential comings and goings, and crowds gathering near the gates of the White House in the hope of catching a glimpse of the leader of the free world.But on a recent day, all the exciting action was happen-ing at Summit Point Raceway, about an hour and half away in neighbouring Virginia, where a smaller crowd of journalists got more than a glimpse of the new 2015 Dodge Charger Hellcat.

LooksThe first leg of the launch event was held at Ronald Reagan airport, in a hangar cleared to display the entire Charger lineup. They looked like colorful jellybeans scattered in different trim levels ranging from the base V6 model to the R/T models featuring a 5.7L V8, then to the SRT high performance 392 model, and the all-new, for 2015, Hellcat with 707 hp. The 2015 Charger gets an all-new exterior, the only holdover pieces are the roof and rear doors, and the rest is new, more aggressive, sleeker and muscular. The nose now has a less blunt look, with a slimmer headlight design that is meant to look like a bandit, wearing a mask. Each trim has different grille openings and in the case of the high horsepower Hellcat, all the air intakes, scoops and vents not only make the car look more menacing, but they all serve a function. The Charger has an aggressive stance but this is also a car that can blend into the crowd: it doesn’t need to scream at the top of its voice. That is left for the engine to do.

InsideWhen the last version of the Charger was refreshed, the focus was on updating the dash to improve the feel of the materials and the overall finish. The 2015 model takes things up a notch, with even more technology and improved style. The dash is covered with an aluminum

fascia, which has not migrated to the shifter surround. The shifter too has been updated to a T-style that re-minds older drivers of the Chargers sold in the original muscle car era. The steering wheel is new and has up-dated switches to control two new screens in the dash. They include a base 5-inch screen in the console or optional 8.4-inch version, plus a standard programma-ble screen in the instrument cluster for a quick glance

when driving. The high performance SRT models get a steering wheel with a flat bottom and heavily bolstered seats for track-ready driving. The real story is that this isn’t a track car, rather a solid family 4-door with room for all passengers.DriveOn the way to the racetrack, I drove the ($39,495) R/T, Hemi-equipped Charger over highways and some backcountry roads. This new model has a much more grownup feel and is a fantastic long road trip machine. Passing is a snap but the Charger was happiest at about 130km/h, maybe thanks to an all-new 8-speed automatic on all trim levels. Greeting us at the track were 5.7L Hemi cars, the 6.4L V8 Scat Pack model and the new Hellcat with a 6.2L V8 and with a big supercharger bolted on. This engine has 90 per cent of the parts

upgraded from the regular engines and each one is put on a 40-minute dyno test before being shipped to the customer. When the supercharger is up to full capacity, this engine will gulp 13,000 litres of air in one minute. I had a chance to drive all the models starting with the least powerful 5.7L with 370hp, then the 485HP 6.4L and continuing the rest of the day with the 707hp Hellcat. Each is very capable on the track but the Hellcat is so much more car, capable of a run to 100km/h in less than 4 second and it can stop with just as much viciousness. The impressive thing is just how easy this monster is to

drive. It needs to be treated with respect but getting on the power or the brakes is very smooth and effortless. The sound from the screaming engine, the Pirelli P-Zero tires squealing under acceleration or diving into each corner was a sensory overload. After dozens of laps around the track with a top speed of 230km/h down the straight, this car is nothing short of amazing. Every-thing else just feels slow.VerdictThe average buyer will still opt for the ($32,495) V6-equipped cars sold with a solid 300 hp going to the rear wheels or all wheels, the V8-equipped cars are not offered with AWD any longer. The most amazing, but unspectacular part of the trip was driving the Hellcat back to Washington, D.C. through heavy traffic on the highway and downtown core. As we pulled up the W Hotel, just a block from the Whitehouse, the 707 hp Hellcat returned 9.9L/100km. Nothing short of amazing considering the cars output, but it might come down to the 411 lb.-ft. the engine puts out at just 1,200 rpm, allowing it to loaf along effortlessly. This and the $64,495 price tag will get a lot of car fans sitting up and paying attention; the world’s fastest four-door family car is an amazing engineering marvel and the price is as jaw-dropping as the car itself.The LowdownPower: 707 hp from a supercharged 6.2L V8Sticker price: $32,496-$64,[email protected]

‘‘ The Charger has an aggressive stance but this is also a car that can blend into the crowd, it doesn’t need to scream at the top of its voice that is left for the engine to do.’’Zack Spencer

2014 XV CROSSTREK TOURING 5MT SHOWN

Pic of the Week

By Bob McHugh

PThe Acura CSX was made in Canada and only sold in Canada. Essentially it’s a sportier and more luxurious Hon-da Civic as it shares most major parts, other than engines. So, an owner not only gets the renowned reliability, fuel efficiency and functionality of a Civic, but also a higher level of performance and luxury ... very nice!First released for the 2006 model year, CSX came with a 2.0-litre four-cylin-der engine that can also be found in an Acura RSX, with slightly different tuning. A suspension upgrade also gives CSX better handling than a Civic and it originally came in Touring and Premium (with leather upholstery, Xe-non headlights and a power sunroof) trim levels. A new more performance oriented version called the Type-S replaced Premium for the 2007 model year. The standard 2.0-litre engine can produce 155 horsepower, but the 2.0-litre in a Type-S version can churn-out 197 horsepower. The manual transmission in a base CSX is a five-speed, while the Type-S has a six-speed. A five-speed automatic transmission was a popular option, An automatic model also comes with steering wheel mounted paddle-shift (manual) controls. Using the newly revised (and more realistic) fuel economy rating method, a CSX (auto) should get 10.9/7.8 L/100 km (city/highway) and 10.0/7.6 L/100 km (city/

highway) with the manual transmis-sion. Other than leather upholstery, which became standard on every CSX, there were no significant changes for 2008 model year. In 2009, the CSX got a minor facelift up front and 17-inch wheels, fog lights and USB port for audio players all became standard equipment. The CSX Type-S became the CSX i-Tech (and came with xenon headlights, a navigation system and Bluetooth connectivity) for the 2011 model year, its final year of produc-tion. A used CSX doesn’t cost too much more than a top-line Civic. Not only do you get more content and perfor-mance, Acura models also come with a longer warranty than Honda. Full coverage is for 4 years or 80,000 km, compared to 3 years/60,000 km from Honda.

You won’t find ratings for an Acura CSX in Consumer Reports or the results of any US crash testing. How-ever, it’s safe to assume that it would achieve similar results to the Honda Civic, which does spectacularly well in owner survey ratings and also re-ceives top ratings occupant protection in a collision. Used prices may be on the high side, but if you like the Honda Civic, yet desire a little extra pampering and performance, take a look and a drive in used Acura CSX. Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s condition, mileage, usage and history. A complete mechanical check should always be performed by a reliable auto technician prior to purchase.

By Ian Harwood

With the nights getting longer and the dark grey days ahead, anybody ven-turing out to do a little four wheeling will tell you good off-road lighting is a must. Make sure you only operate them off-road. Good quality wiring of a set of off-road lights is important when installing them on your truck, SUV or 4x4.Simply running a power and ground may work but is not the correct way to wire them. Most off-road lights draw a lot of power when switching them on, and this load should never be applied directly to the switch. Using a relay for the switching duties will save your switch and lights as well as make for a safer installation. Relays are easy to install and some lights come with them, but if not, you can pick up a relay from your lo-cal auto parts store. Install a switch in the cab of your truck in a location that is convenient for you to reach, or tap into the high-beam circuit of the headlights to power the relay. Mount the relay inside the cab, under the dash or other location out of the way and out of the elements. Run a wire from the battery or other positive source to the switch. This is the positive feed to switch the relay on. You will also need to run a ground wire to the switch from the frame or

other ground then run a positive feed wire from the battery to the positive in position on the relay. There will be four con-nectors on the relay, a positive, a negative, a pos-itive out and a positive in from the battery. Read the packaging or directions to determine which is which. Find the ground position on the relay and run a wire from it to a good ground on the chassis of the vehicle. Anywhere on the frame or other metal structure of the vehicle will normally produce a decent ground. Run a section of wire from the switch output to the switched power input on the relay. Again, this will be marked or identified on the directions that came with your relay. Run the last wire from the relay positive out position to the lights and connect it to the positive feed on the lights. Ground the lights by attaching the black or ground wire to the frame or other ground on the truck. HID lights have become more popular with off-road-ers these days. Installation is a little more work. But the principles remain the same. Be sure to follow the instructions provided in the kit. HID stands for High intensity discharge which

refers to a new technology that relies on an electrical charge to light the xenon gas contained in a sealed bulb. Unlike the halogen bulb, the HID bulb does not have a filament, because there is no filament the bulbs are not susceptible to vehicle vibration damaged. There are however effected by and fluctuations in the ve-hicles electrical system and depending on the vehicle they may require some resistors. The HID bulb creates light by bridging an arc between two electrodes, instead of heating a filament. This light is similar to the energy transfer when lightning strikes. The arc stimulates the xenon gases producing bright white beam of light. The next wave of off-road lighting technology is LED. Rigid is a leader in this technology. Low amperage and superior light project-ing forward is why most off-road racers are switch to this type of light. Check them out at [email protected]

(Q=) I was buying a car privately and asked the seller for a vehicle history report. He told me they’re a waste of time and money. Is that true? Thanks, Faith

(A=) Hi Faith, I’m with him on this one. Here’s what you do: look at the car. If it looks good, just buy it. Those reports give you lots of details you don’t need. Watching out for you, Walt

Mayor of Sidney

STRONG NEW LEADERSHIP FOR SIDNEY’S FUTURE!R

www.mcneilsmith.ca

• Stronger fiscal control on spending & taxes.• Maintain Sidney’s ambience & character.• Pursue attainable housing options.• Maintain vibrant business areas.• Address parking & traffic concerns.• More open communication with citizens.

Please vote on Nov 15th * Authorized by N Beryl Hastings, Financial Agent. 250-655-1384


This time, wants to do more.

“I believe that good, quality education is about relationships,” Collier said, adding he would start working with parents, teachers and students should he be elected.

Collier said he sees a big opportunity for trustees to be involved in the school communi-ties — and for students, too, to be involved in the broader commu-nity.

He said a single trustee should be active and involved. His own plans include reviewing the budget and admin-istration costs.

“I believe the board needs strong voices for public education,” Col-lier said.

Jason Price is in his first race for school board trustee but has been dedicated to edu-cation all his life. An associate professor at UVic and co-founder of the Harvard Associa-tion Cultivating Inter-American Democracy, he said he has the expertise and leader-ship to offer in the role.

He noted School Dis-trict 63 is a small dis-trict, where leadership is the main issue. He said he sees a tran-sition coming at the administration level and he hopes to be on board to defend the ini-tiatives started by the board.

Price also hopes to help rebuild morale following the teacher strike and work to rep-resent all sides and

solve problems. Price noted teachers

have been heroes in his

and his children’s lives adding he wants to set an example as a trustee

to show that support. That includes a plan to donate 10% of his

trustee pay to a learn-ing innovation fund.

Sidney, Price said,

needs a strong, informed voice on the school board.

What’s in Your Beauty Products?

Every day millions of women slap on body moisturizer, apply lipstick or mascara without a second thought about what they are putting on their skin. A study from the UK claims that the average woman applies more than 500 chemicals to her body every day dur-ing her beauty routine.

Why should you be concerned?Chemicals such as parabens (a synthetic preserva-tive in everything from toothpaste to shampoo) and phthalates (a class of chemicals that are found in many “fragranced” beauty products such as lotions, perfumes and deodorants) are classified as xenoestro-gens. Xenoestrogens mimic our natural estrogens cre-ating hormone chaos by increasing the total amount of estrogen, resulting in a condition called estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance has been implicated in many conditions including: breast and prostate can-cer, obesity, infertility, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, early onset puberty, hormonal acne and PMS.

Xeno-Detox Every Day EstroSense is a comprehensive liver detoxifier that gently supports the elimination of harmful environ-mental toxins and helps to bring back hormone syn-ergy. Along with other key ingredients, EstroSense contains milk thistle which is one of the most re-searched herbs when it comes to liver detoxification and liver cell regeneration. Curcumin, indole-3-car-binol, sulforaphane, calcium-d-glucarate, green tea extract, lycopene and rosemary extract are all very effective for supporting healthy hormone balance.

So starting now, read labels and stay informed, check out The Environmental Working Group website www.ewg.org as well as Campaign for Safe Cosmetics www.safecosmetics.org for more information about how you can protect yourself.

Add EstroSense® with Milk Thistle Extract to your daily routine!

A Healthy Liver = Healthy Hormones = Happy You

The average woman appliesmore than 500 chemicals

to her body every day.


As the year-end approaches, many taxpayers will be thinking not only of chari-

table giving, but also of ways to minimize 2014 income taxes pay-able. Among other considerations will be the tax-reducing effect of charitable donations to registered charities.

The Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) encourages charitable donations in a manner which not only is very tax-efficient for the donor, but also can allow him/her to actually leverage the donation to a higher level than might other-wise be considered.

Let’s look at an example. Our taxpayer wishes to donate

$1,000 to a favorite charity before year-end. There are several ways

to do this; one more tax-effective than the others.

The donor may simply write a cheque for $1,000 from normal after-tax cash savings.

Or, the donor may choose to sell securities held in a non-registered investment account. In order to have $1,000 after-tax to donate, suf-ficient holdings will need to be sold, not only to cover the desired dona-tion, but also to pay any capital gains taxes which are triggered by the sale

The prospective donor could alternatively look at the holdings in his non-registered account, to

determine which have the greatest embedded unrealized capital gain.

Let’s use a Bank stock with a book value of $50/share.

The current market value is now $100 per share. In order to gen-erate $1,000 for the donation, the donor may need to sell $1,200 worth of the stock — to make allowance for the capital gains tax which

becomes due on sale of the secu-rity. In this instance therefore, the donor needed to sell $1,200 of the stock to fund his $1,000 dona-tion — receiving a tax receipt for $1,000.

Our taxpayer could instead, donate to the registered charity, not cash but the Bank stock itself — at market value.

In so doing, he would not be assessed capital gains taxes and receive a charitable donation receipt for $1,000. The registered charity could in turn, immediately sell the stock for its $1,000 market value, on a fully tax-exempt basis.

The donor could in fact, choose instead to donate $1,200 worth of the stock and receive a $1,200 tax receipt.

This larger-than-planned dona-tion would cost him no more than a $1,000 after-tax cash donation. The effect is a greater donation to the charity, zero capital gains tax, and a larger tax receipt.

Obviously, this approach to charitable giving makes little sense for smaller donations.

However, for those taxpayers in a position to make major chari-table contributions, being able to donate more, on a very tax-effi-cient basis, holds great appeal; it is worth considering.

Check with your accountant for more detailed guidance in imple-menting this approach.

Tim CollinsNews Contributor

As a lifelong aca-demic, it’s only natu-ral that Peter Pearse should identify his new book, A Natural Selec-tion; Building a Con-servation Community on Sidney Island as a monograph.

For those of you who might be wondering, a monograph is a special-ist work of writing on a single subject which presents original schol-arship and research on the topic under discus-sion.

The book, though, is not the scholarly tome that its label

might cause one to expect.

Instead this is the delight-ful and inspi-rational story of an academic who discovered that the grand theories that he taught at the Uni-versity of British Columbia weren’t always valid when applied to the real life challenges of his idyllic home on Sid-ney Island.

Pearse has been involved with Sid-ney Island for some 35 years. That’s when he, his wife, and a group of what was ini-

tially a group of like-minded individu-als undertook a grand plan to purchase and save Sidney Island. It was “a perfect oppor-

tunity to practise what we preached: advanced forestry, growing and enhancing forests instead of simply har-vesting them,” writes Pearse.

But the theories soon faced numerous challenges of eco-nomics and resolve. The partnership was divided between “the hawks” who wanted to maximize return on investment and “the doves” whose

desire to maintain the beauty of the environ-ment was the primary motivation.

The book recounts the challenges of build-ing a sustainable para-dise in an environment that, at times, seemed weighted against the entire enterprise.

With this book, Pearse has an oppor-tunity to celebrate the success of the concept.

“We’ve managed to develop a system of governance that helps to preserve and protect the natural beauty of this very special place,” said Pearse. “It wasn’t easy, and there are a lot of stories of how we managed to persevere, but it was all worth it.”

An example of one of those stories might sound familiar to many B.C. residents. It involved deer.

Fallow deer had over-run the island and pre-sented even the most nature-loving of the res-idents with a significant challenge.

“At one time we had over 3,000 deer on the island and not only were they destroying the forest, they were no longer healthy,” said Pearse.

Not surprisingly, the challenge of controlling that population was very divisive and pre-sented some especially human challenges to the cooperative nature of the island’s gover-nance.

In the end this book is the story of a man’s effort to apply a lifetime of academic conserva-tion theory to the a tiny island paradise. It’s also a story of human inter-

action, conflict and cooperation.

“Whether it was deer, Canada geese, beach bonfires, cutting trees for profit...” said Pearse, “it hasn’t been easy, and we don’t

always agree but we’ve manage to find a way to make it work.”

“Peter Pearce is one of B.C.’s leading intel-lectuals,” said pub-lisher Alex Rose. “His is an inspirational story

and we’re thrilled that he’s shared it through our publishing house.”

Pearse’s book is pub-lished by Walhachin Press and will be avail-able on November 15, 2014.

GREATER VICTORIA MARKET UPDATE »

GOLDSTREAM NEWS GAZETTE - Friday, November 7, 2014 www.goldstreamgazette.com • A25

Aside from providing a relaxing and fun way to spend a Saturday morning, the main purpose of open houses is to expose the home to the mar-ketplace, and they have a whole laundry list of benefits for both buyers and sellers.

For the casual buyer who may not be looking to lock down a property in the imme-diate future, it’s a great way to get a feel for the marketplace and see what’s available.

Open houses in your price range can also give you a good idea which features on your wish list you’re likely to get, and which you may have to negotiate around.

When you’ve figured out what you want and done some research, actually vis-iting a house “gives you a much broader, fuller picture of what the property has to offer,” says Rick Hoogendoorn of Royal LePage Coast Capital Realty.

“You can’t get a real feel for a property just by look-ing online. When you go to an open house, you can see what’s around the home, what’s across the street.”

Questions to have in mind could be: What kind of ameni-ties are nearby? Is the neigh-bourhood in a good area for walking or cycling? How close is the next door neighbour’s house to the property? Are there any strata or condo restrictions to be aware of? Compare favourable photos from online listings with real-ity.

“I always recommend my clients write down details about things

that they like and didn’t like about the house,” says Corie Meyer, real-tor with Pemberton Holmes. “Make

notes about each and every house you visit, so you can have a better recollection at the end.” Depend-

ing on how many open houses you’re walking through, the specifics can become a blur and make it more difficult to narrow down your choices.

Meyer also recommends going to open houses with your realtor. “It’s good to have your own representation going through,” she says. The real-tor hosting the open house is there for the seller’s benefit, so having your own professional at hand can point out possible challenges with the house, and make sure some of the trickier questions get asked.

If you do decide to just browse some open houses on your own, be up front if you’re already working with someone.

“Be aware that every realtor is going to ask you if you have a realtor,” says Hoogendoorn. “If they know you already have someone, it takes some of the pressure off.”

Though there are multiple benefits to both hosting and attending an open house, it’s important to note there can be one or two drawbacks as well.

“When you look at the ad for an open house, it’s often just a simple advertisement, so it’s rare that there’s a match for a buyer through an open house,” says Hoogendoorn. Open houses, unless previ-ously researched, are often a “random hit,” and are unlikely to have everything a buyer is looking for in a home.

Still, it’s a good way to become familiar with the marketplace, especially if the

buyer can be patient. “It’s about finding the match,” he says. [email protected]

Q: WHAT KINDS OF VIEWS ADD

THE MOST TO A HOME’S VALUE?

HomeFinderFind a place to call home

BUYER’S TIP | Take notes when going through open houses to remember pros and cons of homes

Can staging help remove some of the guesswork for potential buyers?

Staging can take time, energy and money, but you don’t get a second chance to make a first impression. If you decide on an open house, staging your home may be a consideration.

If you’re already out of your home and have removed all furniture, it might be the dif-ference between a buyer walking by to the next home, or signing the dotted line.

If you already have fur-niture in your home it may be an unwelcome feeling to stage your home or change what you have grown to love for someone else. However, looking at your home from the buyers perspective and not your own can save you dollars. Consider both the cost of staging, and the cost of your first price drop if you don’t sell for what you origi-nally want, as a factor when making your decision.

Staging automatically forces you to de-clutter your home and pack up some of what you will have to pack up anyway when you move. And taking on the work of staging may make that moving day come sooner than you think.
