VAA to go with the flow

New water detention pond proposed for airport portion of Reay Creek Steven Heywood News staff

A new water detention pond could be built on Reay Creek — if the work into cleaning up contamination along the waterway calls for it.

James Bogusz, vice-president of operations and development for the Victoria Airport Authority (VAA), told a gathering of residents who live along the creek on Nov. 24 that the VAA has retained an engineering consulting firm to give them detailed plans for such a detention pond, looking at a construction period of nearly two years, ending in 2017.

However, Bogusz noted the VAA does not want to do the work in isolation from a Town of Sidney-led working group currently discussing options to clean up contaminants in Reay Creek Pond and to fix up the water course.

The VAA hired the firm Kerr Wood Leidel to conduct a study of water flows in the creek on airport property. It was done to address resident concerns that high water incidents have caused the banks of the creek and a pond to erode, harming local property values.

Gobind Farms founder remembered Harbhajan Singh Dheenshaw grew popular farm from five acres to 90 Steven Heywood News staff

Harbhajan Singh Dheenshaw is being called a pioneer and a builder among farmers in Central Saanich.

The owner of Gobind Farms died Nov. 18 of a heart attack.

He was 75.

His family is remembering the family patriarch as a hardworking man, who immigrated to Canada in November of 1970.

His daughter, Subjit van Kempen Seket, says her aunt Chanan Vinning sponsored her brother’s arrival in this country, bringing with him his wife Gurmel Kaur and two oldest daughters Inderjit and Kuldip. Daughters Subjit and Tirath and son Satnam were born in Canada.

“She wanted her big brother to be here in Canada with her,” she said.

Her dad, born Aug. 10, 1940, found work at the Plumper Bay sawmill around that time and would later get a job at Victoria Plywood. His son Satnam said his dad saw the writing on the wall for the saw-

mill. Knowing it would close soon, Harbhajan — or Harry, as he was known — went back to his roots from India and bought five acres of land in Central Saanich — where the current headquarters of Gobind Farms and the family home is on Veyaness Road.

Satnam said he father worked very hard in those early days on the farm. He even took jobs with other local farms to ensure he could provide for his family.

“Farming was his roots back in Punjab,” said Subjit.

“In those early days they used cattle for plowing.”

Their dad was not afraid of hard work, said the siblings — nor was he afraid of putting his own kids to work, learning the family business.

The farm at first grew vegetables — lettuce, spinach, cauliflower and more, experiencing the ups and downs that all farmers face, said Satnam.

“There were hard times,” said Subjit. “Agriculture is very tough.”

But their dad persevered and continued to grow the farm. Today, Satnam said the

family leases or owns 90 acres of land in Central and North Saanich. These days, they grow mostly berries — a transition Harbhajan undertook in the mid-2000s. Satnam said they took the farm name — Gobind — and from it found a way to market their product, as it sounded a lot like “Go Best.” Today, they are well known for their quality berry crops.

The name of the farm itself, said Subjit, is the name of a god within her family’s Sikh faith. She said he was registering the farm after he bought the original five acres and was asked what he wanted to call it. Gurmel said the first thing that came into her husband’s mind was Gobind Singh, and Gobind Farms was born.

Subjit said her dad was a proud man and in many ways the typical farmer, strong and silent. He was however, always on top of world events and they would have discussions about it. She added while he was often stoic in nature, his seven grandchildren brought out a joyful nature that she will not forget.

“He was so caring towards his grandchildren,” she said.

“They would always just brighten up his day.”

Harbhajan suffered from kidney disease and suffered a major heart attack approximately 15 months ago. Subjit said he outlives doctors’ projections, revealing a zest for life in his last months.

Satnam, who runs Gobind Farms today, said he’ll remember his father’s work ethic and all that he taught him about the business.

“We are going to continue on with the farm,” he said.

“That is what he would want to see.”

Satnam said his father was well-known among the farming community in Central Saanich, having built up Gobind Farms to what it is today.

A funeral service is set for Sat., Nov. 28 at 11 a.m. at First memorial Funeral Services at 4725 Falaise Dr. in Saanich, followed by a celebration of life at Khalsa Sikh Temple at 1210 Topaz Avenue. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Kidney Foundation.

West Sidney to get liquor store

Like us on

Facebook

Approval now awaits transfer of a licence by the province Steven Heywood News staff

The owner of a West Sidney property says he has made good on a promise to help clean up parking issues.

Steve Weller, owner of 9429 Canora Rd. — the site of Enterprise Car Rentals and Clair Downey Service — says he has negotiated a change in the lease, allowing the rental company to use a fenced compound for parking, effectively removing vehicles from Canora and the Frost Street residential area.

This was a commitment he made to the Town of Sidney as he sought approval to open a cold beer and wine store on the property.

On Monday, Nov. 23, council narrowly approved a zoning change and development permit to allow the liquor store to proceed.

However, Weller said while it is his intent to open a store,

the timing will depend on getting a license from the B.C. Liquor Licencing and Control Branch.

“This is not done by a long shot,” Weller said. “I need (LLCB) approval to relocate a license to the property.”

As part of his plan to upgrade the building, Weller said he worked with the Town on the contentious parking issue that saw residents upset over congested streets, caused when rental vehicles were being returned. He said he’s been talking with Enterprise and his other tenant there for close to five months to get the compound free.

During Monday’s meeting, Mayor Steve Price criticized Weller for not acting on the parking issue sooner.

“The parking issue there is what’s causing the problem,” Price said, adding he didn’t think anything will be done, “considering nothing was done in the past.”

Price said he was concerned the property owner had used a promise to fix the parking as a way of getting his liquor store approved by council.

Price was one of three councillors to vote against the proposal, however it did pass in a 4-3 vote.

Councillor Peter Wainwright, who lives in the area, agreed with some people who spoke against the proposal during a public hearing Monday night, that a residential area is not the best location.

However, he said after speaking with the local RCMP, concerns over crime around such stores is not a concern.

As well, Weller’s promise to do something about the parking left him torn on the issue — but ultimately in favour of it, based on what he said were improvements in West Sidney.

Councillors Erin Bremner, Cam McLennan and Barbara Fallot pointed to the potential of the plan to fix the parking

issues, as high on their list of reasons to support the liquor store idea.

Coun. Tim Chad and Mervyn Lougher-Goodey joined Price in voting against the proposal.

Weller said afterwards he’s pleased with the result and thanked the Town for being open to new business.

“We can’t please everyone,” Weller noted, “but we do have a vision. If we have a stable business there, it’s the beginning of making more improvements to the property.”

A majority of the 11 people who spoke to the matter during Monday’s public hearing were opposed to the liquor store. They cited safety concerns, increased traffic and crime as reasons for their opposition.

Those residents who spoke in favour, liked the idea of improvements in West Sidney, as well as the convenience of having a cold beer and wine store closer to home.

Around the province

Restaurant liquor rules eased; drinkers can sit anywhere VICTORIA — The latest change to B.C. liquor policy loosens the rules for restaurant goers who just want to order a drink, without food. They’re now allowed to sit anywhere in the restaurant instead of being relegated to a separate lounge area or feeling pressured to order food.

“This is a small change that will make a big impact,” said Ian Tostenson, president of the BC Restaurant and Foodservice Association. “The restaurant can open up more physical space that can be used to seat customers who are dining or enjoying a cocktail.”

The rules for music and comedy performances are also relaxed. Restaurants no longer have to apply for a permit to

host entertainment, as long as patrons aren’t participating in the show.

More micro-beer offerings Craft beer lovers should soon find more local varieties in B.C. government liquor stores. The stores are reserving dedicated shelf space starting Nov. 30 for beer from local microbreweries that has not typically been offered in government stores. Exactly what’s sold will vary by location. There are more than 100 eligible microbreweries – producing no more than 15,000 hectolitres a year – and each store is expected to carry up to 12 currently unlisted varieties.

Drive to conditions

Police are warning drivers they can actually be ticketed for driving the speed limit.

The caution from B.C. RCMP Traffic Services comes with the onset of short days, rain, frost and snow.

“Speed limits are maximums in ideal conditions and many drivers disregard this when the weather changes,” said Cpl. Ronda McEwen.

If you’re in a crash and police determine you were travelling at an unsafe speed for the road conditions you could be issued a violation ticket for speed relative to conditions, she said.

A meal more than food

N

eighbours can often get lost in the hubbub of the holidays. And that’s where organizations like the people behind the annual Christmas Dinner in Sidney come in.

Yes, it’s early to be talking about Christmas and all that it entails, yet there is a special group of people who deserve a little early recognition.

Already they are getting ready to host more than 200 people for a Christmas dinner at the Mary Winspear Centre on Dec. 25.

These volunteers and community supporters are getting ready now for an event that brings people together.

The community They might be without their family this year, Christmas dinner or maybe they have no is about people family to speak of. They might be shut-ins and they might not otherwise be able to afford a holiday meal.

Every one of them is being invited to the community dinner, created by volunteers who know that the season is not easy on everyone.

Some may complain about the stress of the holidays — but most have houses and loved ones to go home to. As this free, annual meal proves, not everyone enjoys the same privileges.

This year’s dinner is a bittersweet one for the volunteers and organizers.

This year, their chef, John Mackleson, died in a motorcycle crash.

This was the man behind the meal. He de-boned turkeys and worked days in advance to help prepare the food donated by local grocery stores.

And while volunteers will step up, as they do, to fill the void, his presence will be missed.

This year’s event is a tribute to the man, who organizers said played a big role in getting the job done.

The community Christmas dinner is about people and creating connections, not just a simple meal. Not only do people who come to eat form those bonds, but so do the organizers and volunteers. It’s this bond that has helped the event last for so many years.

Here’s hoping this year’s dinner is a success, measured in friendships and in the company that people keep around the dinner tables of the Bodine Hall.

Turn Sandown into a new village Re: Housing, not green space I am in agreement with Pat Carson’s letter, especially the paragraph “Why does North Saanich insist on keeping the racetrack land agricultural? There is plenty of agricultural land in North Saanich but not nearly enough affordable housing.”

1. The land in question is going to need extensive remediation to bring it up to agricultural standards.

2. There is plenty of good farm land in North Saanich that is not being actively farmed.

3. I work on a local farm and I can attest to the fact that local farmers, can, and do, grow more produce than the locals are willing to purchase.

The residents of North Saanich — and Sidney for that matter — have been given the opportunity to do something unique and beneficial for both communities, which could be a model for others to follow.

I envision a dementia friendly, self-contained village with a mix of residential care for seniors and non-seniors and affordable workforce housing for employees. I have a background in nursing and there are an increasing number of nonseniors requiring residential care.

Within the property there would be an agricultural component which would directly benefit the village, both in terms of feeding the residents and the therapeutic benefit for those who wish to work the land. A local farmer’s market could also be incorporated into the agricultural component.

Holland has created dementia friendly villages.

Given the 12 acres of commercially zoned property adjacent to the land it could become a selfcontained village: mixed complex residential care for seniors and nonseniors, daycare for all ages, retail, services, multi-use trails and paths, ornamental gardens, affordable housing and agriculture.

I know this sounds like I am daydreaming, but it could be done.

Land can be removed from the Agricultural Land Reserve, which would be step number one.

Stop the Site C dam Re: Lights go out for Site C opponents, PNR Nov. 25.

Just a couple weeks ago I stood at the overlook above the proposed Site C dam site near Fort St John and saw a swathe of clearcuts. Local residents described how BC Hydro cut old-growth eagle trees, crushed beaver dams with machinery and chipped tall trees despite promises to salvage merchantable timber.

However dramatic this may look as Hydro’s spin fodder, when viewed against the nine-year engineering plan these are baby steps. Logging riverbanks and harassing eagles is not dam construction. There is plenty of time to stop this costly boondoggle that has been purposely kept sheltered from full regulatory scrutiny.

And yes, Virginia, agricultural soils — not just the boreal forest — do store globally significant amounts of carbon. According to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, agricultural soils are among the planet’s largest reservoirs of carbon and hold potential for expanded carbon sequestration.

Even more to the point, agricultural soils produce food, which we can no longer afford to take for granted in an era of droughts and extreme weather. The Peace Valley has the capacity to provide fruits and vegetables for one million British Columbians every year.

When the government doesn’t listen — the only option left to citizens is to go to court. Treaty 8 First Nations and Peace Valley landowners are giving it all they’ve got.

Officers recognized for valour VICTORIA — A Central Saanich Police officer and a Sidney North Saanich RCMP member were presented with the Award of Valour at B.C.’s 35th annual Police Honours Night on Thursday, Nov. 19.

The award of valour is the highest award for a police officer in B.C. and recognizes officers who put their own lives at risk to save others.

On April 14, 2015, Constable Gary Lacey of Central Saanich Police Service and Corporal Erin Fraser of the Sidney North Saanich RCMP worked together to arrest a violent suspect carrying a loaded handgun who was fleeing from area police.

The situation began when Westshore RCMP received a report of a stolen vehicle in the Highlands area.

Police agencies across the Capital Regional District worked together to locate the vehicle. Constable Lacey and Corporal Fraser eventually located the suspect who was armed with a loaded hand gun. Following a struggle with

HEALTHY ADVICE FROM YOUR SIDNEY DENTIST

Dr. Muirhead Sleepless in Sidney

BC Government/Ministry of Justice

My husband’s snoring is interfering with my sleep. We’ve tried several things to no avail, and sometimes we end up sleeping in separate rooms. I’ve heard a dental appliance works but I don’t understand why. I’ve also heard about CPAP from friends. I just want to sleep better how can you help me?

We can absolutely help you! I started treating snoring problems 9 years ago and quite unintentionally saved a lot of relationships, and sleep deprived partners sanity in the process. Even some sore rib problems (nudge nudge)! Snoring is the result of an airway problem at the back of the mouth and or/nose. The tongue comes just close enough to the back of the throat to allow air to squeak through and vibrate causing noise. This is a significant warning sign that air isn’t flowing well in and out of the body. Snoring is an almost

complete obstruction of oxygen flow in the airway. Besides being annoying and tiring this is often a warning of full airway blockages happening during the night. Ironically, this is when things get quiet. The brain eventually intervenes to keep the body alive, but it has to jump you out of reparative sleep to light sleep to do so. Briefly, this is a big big deal for regulation of numerous body systems too numerous to list—but heart disease and stroke and insulin resistance are some of the big ones. A good nights sleep is a critical component of health.

A custom dental appliance gently opens up the airway a few extra millimetres throughout the night by moving your lower jaw and tongue into a healthy breathing position. I wear one myself and it works great! There are many facets and tangents to snoring and sleep treatment and we have the training and nearly one decade of experience treating these problems to select a dental appliance that would work well for your husband and you.

Seagull presumed dead in power outage

Sidney businesses left without power for nearly four hours Steven Heywood News staff

Businesses in downtown Sidney were left without power for nearly four hours after a seagull flew into power lines.

On Nov. 16, the day before a serious wind and rain storm on Vancouver Island and the mainland, a gull flew into some power lines, contacting two lines at once.

“It caused a phase to phase fault that caused the outage,” wrote Karla Louwers, public affairs officer with BC Hydro.

She said in an interview afterwards that the company was told by various witnesses that it was the bird that hit the lines, causing the outage. Crews on the scene to repair the damage, however, did not find a carcass.

Tim Tanton, director of public works and parks for the Town of Sidney noted gulls hitting lines does happen from time to time.

Louwers stated 224 BC Hydro customers

were left without power, as crews fixed the damage and inspected the lines prior to re-energizing them at approximately 4:40 p.m. that

same day.

On Nov. 17, high winds and heavy rains caused more than one thousand Saanich Peninsula Hydro custom-

ers to be without power at various times during the storm. editor@peninsula newsreivew.com

Margo Longland, Program Manager, BC Hydro, says the program provides rebates for a variety of home energy upgrades such as insulation, draftproofing, heating, hot water and ventilation - with a bonus for installing three or more eligible measures.

Many of the upgrades can be easily incorporated into home renovations. For example, it’s easier to upgrade your wall insulation if you’re opening up the wall for a renovation anyway.

Low-flying aircraft posing problem Residents in Cordova Bay say harbour-bound aircraft are flying too close Travis Paterson News staff

SAANICH — Saanich is looking into an ongoing report of low-flying aircraft that have been particularly bothersome for the residents of Worthington Road in Cordova Bay. Since 2012, Dorothy Pearson of Walema Avenue has gathered a petition of 53 residents from the immediate area who say Vancouver and Victoria harbour-bound aircraft have been flying too close over their homes, roads and properties.

“Our houses actually shake, especially with [helicopters], it’s very loud,” Pearson said. “It interrupts your speech, and there’s so many during the rush hour times, you can’t have a barbecue in the summer, it affects your quality of life.”

Pearson said about 30 to 40 aircraft come through on a busy day right now and as many as 100 would come through during busy summer days over the past three years. She’s lived there since 2001 and recalls hardly any aircraft to speak of prior to September

Aircraft flight paths in the region, especially those for harbour-bound aircraft, are concerning residents in the region.

2012.

Jonathan Bagg, manager of public affairs for Nav Canada, said the regulation of routes is a broad one, and wasn’t able to speak specifically to the Worthington area directly.

“It’s a busy region, [this] part of B.C. has a lot of airports, a lot of flights, and it’s normal to have aircraft over different areas. Aircraft can fly on different routes.”

However, Bagg did say there’s been no changes to the area since 2007. Both Bagg and Transport Canada said they’ll look further into the flight paths of the area.

Pearson and a trio of neighbours brought the issue to council as a delegation on Nov. 16 and were met with a positive response.

Council recognized the issue as similar to one in 2006, in which the Healthy Saanich advisory committee helped a group of citizens from Saanich, Central Saanich and North Saanich to redirect “low flying” float planes and helicopters away from densely populated ares of Saanich and Victoria.

Mayor Richard Atwell passed a motion to follow the same steps it did in 2006.

In that case, decibel levels reached 65 to 80

but in this case Pearson says it doesn’t matter.

There are designated flight paths to follow.

The Victoria bound map shows a southbound flight path along the Pat Bay Highway which Pearson says is often deviated from.

And she says no one will share the northbound routes from Victoria to Vancouver with her.

“I would like to find out who’s behind it, that there’s no one to answer, why can’t they fly on their routes? It’s almost like they don’t want to fly over Elk Lake.”

One of the problems is that the homes are in a virtual no man’s land between the air spaces governed by both the Victoria Airport and the Victoria Harbour Aerodrome.

Because the air traffic is harbour-to-harbour, Pearson and the company looked for answers from the Victoria Harbour Aerodrome, learning it exists in virtual ‘theory’ only, said another Worthington homeowner, David Gerrior.

“As far as we can tell, a Victoria Harbour Authority doesn’t

exist,” Gerrior told council, Pearson did however manage to contact and work with MLA Lana Popham, MP Elizabeth May, Nav Can, Transport Canada, Helijet, Harbour Air and more.

But after three years, she’s left wondering if there’s some sort of conspiracy behind it all.

“I was told we’d have a meeting by several people only to have them cancelled or put off with no word of a rescheduling. Do you know how hard it is to get 30 neighbours to commit to a meeting?”

Pearson said.

“I talked to Victoria tower control but the more people I talk to it doesn’t matter. It’s actually a very, very complicated issue.”

That report is complete and available on the Town of Sidney’s website. It, in a nutshell, shows that there has been an increase in peak flows in their portion of the creek between 1997 and 2012. It does not necessarily account for the erosion problems, however.

Craig Sutherland of KWL said they found water outflow from VAA land has increased slightly over the time period. At the same time, he noted peak water in the pond downstream of Canora Road — within the Town of Sidney — did not change significantly.

As well, they found that the soil around the pond is soft and saturated with water, which can be causing the erosion problems people experience.

Bill Collins of the Reay Creek Residents Association and other concerned citizens challenged the report, pointing to observed periods of high water flows. One resident asked Sutherland if his firm actually measured real water levels.

Sutherland said they did not, instead using historical data to create estimates. To actually take readings, he said, would take years to get similar information. He did, however, agree that their report could be categorized as “good estimates.”

The issue of erosion along Reay Creek is a decidedly secondary one to the matter of heavy metals like zinc and cadmium found in the pond sediment. Sidney is currently leading a group — including the VAA, District of North Saanich, B.C. Ministry of Environment, Capital

File photo

Residents along Reay Creek are looking at the big picture once a contaminated pond is cleaned up.

Regional District and Transport Canada — discussing what can be done to clean it up.

Sidney’s Director of Engineering, Parks and Works Tim Tanton said this technical group, through the Town, has hired a firm to study all of the reports and testing done on Reay Creek and the pond, discussing clean up, erosion and the future of park space along the creek. The goal, he said, is an action plan.

Sidney has hired SLR Environmental Consulting to conduct a review of all the work done to date, Tanton said. He added the group got Transport Canada, the owner of the airport property and operator prior to 1997 when VAA took over, to agree to this process.

“It’s going to be a much quicker way to get Transport Canada to buy into the results,” he said, “rather than do their own study, ‘cause that will take a long time.”

Tanton said updates and new information from the Reay Creek

working group is constantly being posted to the Town’s website. The group, he added, is still discussing its terms of reference, adding he hopes the review of the pond and sediment studies will be ready by the end of the year — pushing any action into 2016.

Bogusz added while the report they commissioned does not point to runoff from VAA as being a significant contributor to erosion, that doesn’t change their role with the technical group.

“VAA wants to take responsibility for what it does on its property. We will take our time on a new detention pond, taking the work of the committee into consideration,” he said.

Bogusz added the VAA is anticipating a 12 to 18 month window to design and develop a new water detention pond, while working to integrate it into the overall plans for the Reay Creek watercourse. The VAA has already restored and improved the portion of Reay Creek on its property, turning a portion of the old creek bed into a water detention area. There is also a water quality monitoring station on VAA land near Canora Road.

Residents asked a variety of questions about the work done to date and appeared generally pleased with the information provided. Some even offered their services to help with water monitoring around the pond.

The residents also heard from architect Art Finlayson and landscape architect Brad Forth, who talked about what a park space along the creek might look like in the future. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

The gift of giving from an unforgettable chef 16th Annual Christmas Dinner about giving back and remembering John Mackelson Carlie Connolly

The Dinner has two sittings, one at 11:30 a.m. and the other at 1 p.m. and is open to all those who want to join.

They typically serve more than 200 people each Christmas day.

“There are a lot of people who don’t have any family here,” Warshawski said. “They have no one to spend Christmas with, there are new arrivals to Sidney, people that don’t know anybody and its a great way to come

he kitchen was a sombre place at the Mary Winspear Centre as the Peninsula News Review caught up with the people organizing Sidney’s 16th annual Christmas Dinner.

It’s the first year without Chef John Mackelson, who died in a motorcycle crash in North Saanich in April of this year. Yet, according to the Christmas Dinner group, he was more than just the chef in the kitchen.

“We were just talking about him, he was sort of a calming influence,” said event co-ordinator Wendy Warshawski. “In the kitchen things get kind of hectic on the day and he was just sort of calming and he sort of did the things that nobody else ... had time for. John was always there to help.”

Mackelson was the event chef since 2001, the same year Warshawski became involved.

Although his death remains on everybody’s mind, his friends will not forget the man

Long time cook, Clara Knight said it’s going to be a challenging morning coming in as she used to work alongside Mackelson.

“He lived for Christmas, he lived to give,” she said.

Knight added Mackelson had a “contagious and gorgeous smile that was all encompassing.”

“He was just one of those neat guys to work with who we just locked hearts with the first time we met.”

His wife Claire, who

will pop her head in at the event, remembers what it was like in the house when he used to de-bone all the turkeys in the kitchen, with his hands-on preparation starting two days before Christmas day.

“He would have 18 turkeys flying around the house,” she said with a laugh.

“It would be quite the production and he would de-bone them and I would be his little helper … he was so much fun.”

Mackelson not only

worked the Dinner but he was a meat cutter at Thrifty Foods for many years and his wife said he would even de-bone neighbours’ turkeys as well, adding he really had a passion for helping.

When asked what she wants him to be remembered for, there was a long, emotional pause.

“I’d like for him to be remembered for his smile and his love of people,” she said through tears. “And how much he cared.”

She said she’s even had feedback from people saying they’ve met really good friends at the Dinner.

Knight added that the guests are usually single people, like single moms and dads.

“We even had people off of the boats one Christmas … and they came in and this was their Christmas,” she said.

The annual Christmas Dinner is put on to the community by donation and last year they raised $1,500, which goes towards putting the event on again the following year.

“Some people can’t afford to donate, that’s fine, that’s why we do it,” said Warshawski.

The Dinner which first began at the Old Silver Threads (now the SHOAL) Centre gets bigger and bigger and is now in the Bodine Hall at the Mary Winspear Centre.

The committee that puts on the dinner is made up of Warshawski as the co-ordinator, Isabelle Yoxall who is in charge of volunteers and Knight, who is in charge of the kitchen.

There are more than 30 volunteers coming in to help make the dinner enjoyable for all and guests can expect live entertainment, a visit from Santa Claus and little gifts placed on the table.

Of course, there’s the full turkey dinner.

Sidney’s three food stores, Thrifty Foods, Save-On-Foods and Fairway Market donate most of the food — turkeys, frozen food and pop.

leave a message with full details.

Reservations will be taken up until Dec. 20.

With the hustle and bustle of the planning for the dinner, Warshawski said she can’t help but look down at her list of who is doing what. She said she can’t bear to take Mackelson’s name off of it.

2017 Hyundai Elantra

DrivewayCanada.ca |

La-La Land auto show debuts workaday vehicles Los Angeles, California The Los Angeles Auto Show is a media favourite for its wild and wacky exhibits and sunny climate.

It heralds the start of a long North American Auto season that rolls through frigid conditions in such frequently ice-bound places as Detroit, Montreal, Toronto and Chicago.

This year’s edition of the show is not dazzling in terms of exciting new cars but it’s still La-La Land in presentation and the crazy customized cars in the side shows are never disappointing. That said there are some important everyday cars making a debut.

Information and pricing is sometimes scant but here are the top hits.

The all-new 2017 Hyundai Elantra made one of the biggest splashes because yet again this South Korean manufacturer is set to renew and expand its entire fleet during the next few years. Its recent announcement that it plans to launch a luxury brand – Genesis – also drew hundreds to the stand to pore over the compact Elantra.

The sixth generation model is value packed in terms of standard features and its February release is sure to boost its market share.

Prices have yet to be fixed

’’

but it will be competitive in the popular market segment.

It has striking looks and Hyundai says it’s inspired by the dynamic precision found in fighter jets. Appropriately, therefore, the cockpit is driver-oriented in layout.

There is no jet engine under the hood but it should whisk people around speedily and economically.

The 2.0-litre Nu four-cylinder engine is paired with either a six-speed manual transmission or a new sixspeed automatic transmission.

Chevrolet launched the

all-new 2016 Cruze, set for sale next spring. It’s larger, lighter and roomier than the 2015 model, with more rear legroom. An all-new, direct-injected 1.4-litre turbo engine generating an estimated 153 horsepower will be under the hood, matched to a six-speed manual transmission (auto available).

Nissan’s popular Sentra compact sedan has been upgraded for 2016 model year with revised exterior styling, refreshed interior and added content. It should be in showrooms before the end of the year.

The Nissan premium brand – Infiniti bravely launched its all-wheel drive QX30 crossover into a crowded market. Not much information available yet.

The 2017 Fiat 124 Spider returns nearly 50 years after original introduction, though they won’t be on

the road until next summer. It will be powered by a turbocharged MultiAir 1.4-litre, 160 hp engine, available with manual or automatic transmission.

Looks a bit like an earlier generation Mazda Miata – now the MX-5.

Interestingly, Fiat’s sibling Alfa Romeo brand exhibited its 4C Spider – the roadster will set you back a whopping $76,495. For that you get to hit 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds and wind it up to 258 km/h.

The roomier fourthGeneration Kia Sportage crossover should revive the Korean company in the market place but ironically its biggest competitor will be its stablemate Hyundai’s Tucson!

Scion provided some eye candy with its C-HR Concept, named for its compact size and high ride height.

Youth at a workshop this week said they were happy they will have a say in what a new skate park in Sidney will look like.

On Tuesday, Nov. 24 the municipality and New Line Skateparks of Langley hosted a public working group meeting at the Sidney fire hall to talk about the project and to share ideas.

Sidney is looking at paving a significant portion of land south of the Mary Winspear Centre to create a parking lot.

While they are still waiting for grant money for that plan, if it proceeds, it would displace the current skateboard facility.

The Town has hired New Line to come up with a modern design for a potential replacement facility in Tulista Park.

Kyle Dion, New Line’s president and chief executive officer, says his company has designed and built more than 200 skate parks and in order to make them work, they

Steven Heywood/News staff

Sidney town councillors Cam McLennan and Tim Chad join resident Kelly Kurta in looking over locations and ideas for a new skate park. seek out feedback and ideas from the people who actually use them.

“A lot of places have facilities that are 15 to 20 years old and are quite out of date,” he said.

Dion said the workshop looked specifically at three types of terrain: plaza or street, traditional obstacles and bowl-style. Their job will be to collect the ideas from the workshop and an online sur-

vey and come up with an overall design and cost estimate.

Councillor Cam McLennan said Sidney is working with New Line to come up with a design that will fit Tulista Park — currently the Town’s preferred location.

“It’s a good, safe and secure location, along a major bus route,” he said.

McLennan noted it was his and Coun. Erin

Bremner’s goal when they ran for council, to work on projects to help make Sidney more attractive to young families and youth.

Dion said compiling the ideas from youth and other interested people will take approximately two months (taking the Christmas break into account).

He said he expects a design to be ready for council’s review by January.

Municipal staff add pedal power to the fleet Steven Heywood

each week — weather dependant.

News staff

Staff at the Town of Sidney have a new addition to their fleet of municipal vehicles — and this one takes a little muscle power.

Stacey Lick, an asset manager and mapping technician for the Town, says she found using a vehicle for many of her duties to be a bit much — especially since the Town itself is small and relatively flat.

So, near the end of summer, she said she asked her bosses to consider getting a bike.

By early September, said Manager of Engineering Mike van der Linden, it was part of the fleet.

The bike is being used by staff, like Lick, and building inspectors who don’t necessarily need a car or truck.

For Lick, it enables her to perform inspections of sidewalks, roadways and other municipal assets for tripping hazards and more. She said she had been doing some of the work by

Director of Engineering, Parks and Works Tim Tanton said they got council’s permission to get the bike and

“got favourable pricing from Russ Hay’s Bike Shop in Sidney.”

Tanton said as Sidney itself has a strong cycling culture, the idea of municipal staff using a bike seemed a natural idea.

He said close to a

dozen Town staff currently ride their bikes to and from work and they will be looking at expanding their bike storage space.

Tanton said using bikes, even just the one right now, is a win-win for the municipality,

which tries to encourage a healthy lifestyle among its employees.

Lick said she got the idea after speaking with colleagues in Canmore, Alberta, who also use bikes at work.

She said she uses the bike a few times

THE ARTS

Classical Orchestra opens season Bach and Sons this Sunday at St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church in Sidney SIDNEY — Sidney Classical Orchestra’s first concert of the season will kick off this Sunday, titled Bach and Sons.

The soloist for the first concert will be Robert Holliston, who has performed quite a few piano concertos with the Orchestra over the years. This weekend, he will be playing two piano concertos, the E major by J.S. Bach and the E flat major by J.S. Bach’s youngest son J.C. Bach, the English Bach.

J.C. Bach had a significant influence on a young Mozart and had quite a different musical style than that of his father.

“These two piano concertos are in quite different styles. It will fascinating to see how much music changed in such a short time,” said Conductor Stephen Brown in an email to the PNR. Also at the Nov. 29 show will be a string symphony by another one of J.S. Bach’s sons, C.P.E. Bach.

Following the first concert of the series, there will be three more to follow including Cornucopia of Concertos in January, Young Soloists with the SCO in March and Four String Fireworks returns in April.

“The soloists this season are suburb featuring: Concert number one with Robert Hollistion on piano; number two with Nancy DiNovo on violin and Mary Byrne and Alberta Brown on flutes,” Brown writes. “Number three is our very special Young Soloist performance with the SCO. And number four featuring members of the Orchestra in various combinations playing solos with the orchestra.”

The show this Sunday will begin at 2:30 p.m. at St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church in Sidney.

Tickets are $25 each and are $75 for the four concert series. Students are $12.50 and those age 19 and under are free at the door. The tickets are available at Tanners Books, CityScribe and Long & McQuade. For more information people can call 250-480-1133 or visit the Sidney Classical Orchestra website at sidneyclassicalorchestra.ca.

VICTORIA — The B.C. government expects to finish the fiscal year next March with a $265 million surplus, thanks to surging property transfer tax revenues and a lower Canadian dollar that helps everything from tourism to the movie and TV industry.

Government revenues have declined due to lower natural gas, metals and other natural resources, Finance Minister Mike de Jong said Tuesday in his second quarter financial update. But with a continued hot real estate market in southwestern B.C. and housing starts running above average, property purchase tax revenue is $150 million ahead of the February bud-

get forecast.

Retail sales are running 7.2 per cent ahead of last year for the period of April to August, with vehicle and parts sales up 9.5 per cent and food and beverage up 7.5 per cent.

De Jong said the Canadian dollar, currently trading at 75 cents U.S., has cut down on cross-border shopping trips from B.C. and contributed to a rebound of tourism, which along with stronger employment has helped increase retail sales.

The dollar exchange rate has also led to an increase in movie and TV production, which costs the province because of the big tax incentives offered to lure foreign productions here.

Foreign movie companies get a 25 per cent tax rebate for all spending on labour

in the province, and the latest estimate is those credits will climb to a record $514 million for the current year.

De Jong said B.C. remains competitive in the movie business despite Ontario increasing its tax credits in

2009 to cover 25 per cent of all spending by foreign movie and TV production companies.

Forest fire expenses were higher than average this year, but not as high as expected earlier in the sea-

son.

Exports from B.C. are down overall, with economic growth projections downgraded for the U.S., Canada, China and Japan, which de Jong said is now back in a recession.

Black touts ‘safer’ oil-by-rail plan for refinery Jeff Nagel Black Press

VANCOUVER — B.C. oil refinery proponent David Black says his $22-billion proposal won’t die with the apparently thwarted Northern Gateway pipeline — he aims to bring oil sands bitumen across northern B.C. by train instead.

The Victoria businessman, who is majority owner of Black Press and this newspaper, spoke Nov. 18 at a Rotary Club meeting in South Surrey.

Black’s Kitimat Clean proposal calls for a refinery between Terrace and Kitimat that would process bitumen into gasoline, diesel and other refined fuels for Asian markets.

He said the federal Liberal government’s move to formally ban crude oil tankers from B.C.’s north coast means the Northern Gateway pipeline plan is “pretty much dead” but that shouldn’t block tanker exports of refined fuel, which would be less damaging than a spill of crude or bitumen at sea.

Black said his plan to carry oil by rail will be far safer than the crude oil trains that have been vulnerable to fiery disasters elsewhere.

He said he’s in talks with CN Rail to load rail cars with undiluted bitumen, which would be much thicker, compared to diluted bitumen that moves through pipelines or the light oil that’s often carried by train.

Black continues to pursue environmental approvals, but his is not the only such proposal. Pacific Future Energy, led by a Mexican conglomerate, initially tried to buy Black out and has since proposed a similar refinery with the same technology. Its

Victoria businessman David Black spoke to Rotarians in South Surrey Nov. 18 about his proposal for an oil refinery in northwestern B.C. backers include SNC Lavalin and prominent aboriginal advisors. Pacific Future initially proposed a site in Prince Rupert but Black said that firm is trying to strike a deal with the Kitselas band for the same site Kitimat Clean had chosen.

There are other potential sites with different first nations, he said, but they’re less suitable.
