North Saanich will prohibit the produc-tion of medical marijuana for at least six months.

Councillors, in a 5-2 vote Monday night, reinstated the ban they had initially agreed to late last year, but had over-turned in December to consider the issue further and get feedback from various local citizen commissions. Since then, residents have spoken loud and clear that they are not supportive of such produc-

tion facilities in North Saanich and made that voice clear on Monday night. Of the 19 speakers during council’s public par-ticipation period, a majority called for the ban, citing potential for crime, odour and pollution. Bob Williamson told council it wasn’t a matter of marijuana’s medical benefits, but one of industrial production on agricultural land. Other speakers said much the same thing.

The proponent of a medical marijuana production facility proposed for McTa-vish Road, Roberto Brescaiani, also addressed council. He said while some of

the people’s concerns are valid, he urged the community to learn more about their proposal, its technology and potential for local employment.

Brescaiani’s application, under the company name Cannan Growers Inc. came in to the District prior to council’s vote, says Mayor Alice Finall. That means the municipality will have to allow the application process to proceed and in all likelihood, permit a production facility.

Eliciting cries of “shame” from the audience, North Saanich district council removed a resi-dent from its delegation list at Monday night’s meeting.

The move sparked speculation by some resi-dents that the majority of the politicians were trying to muzzle opposing views on the ongoing housing debate.

Councillor Ted Daly, referring to a presenta-tion by Springfield Harrison on a consultant’s exit survey on housing issues in the commu-nity, said he wanted the item removed from the agenda.

“I’m not interested in hearing this presenta-tion,” he said. “Not one little bit.”

Daly said Harrison’s presentation was tanta-mount to the same opposition and complaint council has heard over the controversial hous-ing strategy process since even before it began.

Mayor Alice Finall said one of council’s funda-mental obligations is to hear from its citizens.

“They have a right to speak to council, to inform their decisions,” she said, and proceeded to overrule Daly’s motion to remove the speaker from the agenda.

Daly responded by seeking a motion to set aside Finall’s ruling and uphold his motion.

With comfortable support of the majority of council-lors, Daly’s motion would pass, but not without con-siderable debate.

“We have had many criti-cal comments of council and of staff in the past,” Finall told the News Review. “This was a complete abdication of council’s role and obliga-tion.”

She said she wonders why the council majority had such strong opposition to the presentation and called the move a muzzling of the district’s citizens.

“It doesn’t matter if they’ve heard it before,” Finall con-tinued. “But this information was new.”

Finall, like Harrison, has been opposed to much of the housing strategy process and subsequent changes to allow higher residential housing densities on more land within the municipal-

ity. Harrison’s presenta-tion was of a critique of the housing consultant’s exit survey, done by a Dr. J. Brock Smith of the Uni-versity of Victoria. The critique questioned the validity of most of the survey questions and warned against “making key administrative or policy decisions based on the results of this survey.”

Councillor Dunstan Browne called Harrison’s presentation subject irrele-vant, as council has already reviewed and approved the housing strategy documents — including the survey.

“It’s irregular to allow a highly critical report to coun-cil,” Browne said, “without the author here to defend themselves.”

Coun. Craig Mearns added Harrison had told council about the critique last week, noting this has been a consis-

tent message from the major-ity’s political opponents.

“I don’t want to give him my time,” Mearns said.

Coun. Elsie McMurphy, who has fallen in on the may-or’s side in this debate, called the decision not to hear from a resident a new low for this council. She wondered what might stop the majority from refusing to hear other peo-ple’s comments if they don’t agree with them.

“I can’t believe this would happen in this council, or in front of any other council in

this province,” she said.Browne, expressing

frustration in his oppo-nents’ desire to hear from both sides, invoked the rule of law.

“This is a disgrace if it goes ahead,” he said of the presentation. “Quite frankly, I don’t care what Mr. Harrison says.”

Speaking afterwards in the public participa-tion period, residents

expressed anger at the move. Some pointed out some of this debate could have hap-pened weeks ago, had coun-cillors not walked out of a council meeting while the consultant was present and answering questions about the housing survey. In fact, it was Brown and Coun. Conny McBride, part of the coun-cil majority, who walked out, forcing the meeting to end.

“I’m shocked at the motion,” said resident Nor-een Campbell. “I can’t say

any more than shame on you.”

“I’m concerned with what you are doing,” added resi-dent Brian Taylor.

He said listening to the public’s concerns during the meeting forces council to read documents and simply acknowledge differences of opinion.

“To hear elected officials gag the community that elected them is absolutely appalling,” added resident Lydia Wingate.

“It’s a mockery of freedom of expression,” added Jack Thornburgh. “I don’t think the residents of North Saa-nich would look fondly on that.”

Harrison himself spoke up and said he was disap-pointed in council’s action and in its tone against him, personally.

“I feel we may be the only community in Canada with a limit on free speech,” he said.

The Victoria Flying Club’s Sec-ond World War-era hangar is getting some sorely-needed repairs.

A new roof has been put on the structure, which once acted as the main terminal building at the airport. It was a $125,000 job, says the club’s Operations Manager Marcel Poland, but work that was essential in the upkeep of the hangar.

“It makes it usable for another 20 years,” he said, pointing out work was also done to some of the wood beams and other roof structure to ensure safety and water resistance.

The club has been after a new roof for years, added Manager Gerry Mants. In moving forward, he added the club did have to take out a loan. That said, Mants added they have a robust membership and a busy flying school — both of which will contrib-ute to paying for the roof work over time.

In recent years, the Victoria Flying Club has done a lot of work to refur-bish their building, facilities and even their fleet of aircraft. Poland said a new fuel system was completed last year and they have 10 new Cessna single-engine airplanes on the tar-mac. Six older ones, he continued,

are for sale and will be replaced as well.

The club has been around since 1928. At that time, said Mants, it was known as the Victoria Aero Club and flew out of the Lansdowne Air-field. That facility, which was located close to the centre of Victoria, no longer exists. By the end of the Sec-ond World War, the club resurfaced at what is now the Victoria airport and since 1946 has been the Victoria Flying Club. Since then, the facility has had its share of upgrades and

changes to keep up with its mem-bers.

People do keep their aircraft at the club hangar, said Poland, but most of the activity at the club is through its flying school. With 17 instructors, the school is busy nearly every day. Mants said they turn out between 55 and 60 new private pilots and 15 to 20 commercial pilots each year.

To keep the aircraft moving, Poland said one of the club’s board mem-bers came up with a computerized dispatching system that is becoming

the envy of other flying schools.“It’s like a taxi system,” Poland

explained. “People book a plane and it’s ready through the dispatcher.”

The system, he continued, ensures a plane is ready when an instructor and their student are. It also keeps track of which planes are being ser-viced and which ones need fuel.

It’s a good advance in technology, Poland said, adding to the club’s overall efficiency. The upgrades at the club, Poland said, help keep their members flying year-’round.

“It’s disappointing,” Finall said. “Staff made every effort to get information to council (last year).”

She said while the vote and prohibition bylaws will come too late for the Cannan proposal, North Saanich will have six months to see how it develops and gain insight from operations in other municipal-ities. Finall has been opposed to medical marijuana produc-tion facilities in North Saanich from the start and said she found all the mind-changing on the issue troubling.

Councillor Ted Daly had led the vote to overturn the initial prohibition back in December.

On Monday, he maintained that position.

“I’m not saying I support licenced medical marijuana,” he said, adding he wanted to dismiss the typical North Saa-nich response to such things, which he said is “come in. No! What was the question?”

Daly has said he didn’t want to reject outright what the fed-eral government has deemed a legal agricultural activity.

Coun. Conny McBride added she doesn’t see the dif-ference between the produc-tion of carrots, corn and let-tuce — all of which is grown, processed and packaged — and the agricultural compo-nent of marijuana.

Coun. Elsie McMurphy

noted people’s strong reaction to medical marijuana produc-tion, saying the six-month pro-hibition will allow for caution.

Council as a whole stated the issue for them was not one of the validity of medical mari-juana, but of how and where it’s produced. Finall said she doesn’t think this was a ‘not in my backyard’ stance, but an issue over agricultural land use and something that’s more appropriately an indus-

trial operation.North Saanich staff will now

draw up bylaws on the pro-posed prohibition, meaning there could be additional pub-lic debate on the issue in the community.

Finall added council will, in all likelihood, hear more from the proponent of the medical marijuana production facil-ity on McTavish Road in the future.

The property, she said, was once a greenhouse for mush-room growers. It’s surrounded by a metal fence, has an enclosed building and ditch-ing around the site. Already, Finall said, it seems set up for the security requirements of a medical marijuana facility.

CENTRAL SAANICH — After a break and enter at a home in Tanner Ridge and a theft from a vehicle in the same area, Central Saanich Police are asking for the public’s help.

The break and enter happened Feb. 3 in the early morning when a suspect entered the home through an unlocked patio door. Several items were taken while the homeowners were home upstairs.

The theft from a vehicle on the same street, police feel, is likely related. “Break and enters to an occupied home are a rare occurrence however we are reminding residents to ensure that your doors and accessible windows are locked at all times,” cautioned Cpl. Wes Penny.

Anyone with information regarding unusual cir-cumstances or people in the Tanner Ridge area over the past couple of days is asked to call the investigating officer, Cpl. Dan Cottingham at 652-4441, or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

An ongoing shortage of gen-eral practitioners on the Saanich Peninsula has been the catalyst for the organization of a commu-nity forum this month.

The forum, sponsored by the South Island Division of Fam-ily Practice (SIDFP), the Town of Sidney, North and Central Saanich, the Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce and the Saanich Peninsula Hospi-tal Foundation, will span three hours in which organizers hope to gather feedback from the pub-lic on their experiences with the local healthcare system.

“The most important thing we want to learn about is people’s experiences with the health-care system on the Saanich Peninsula, and we want to hear from people that both do and don’t have family physicians,” explained Linda Nehra, the co-ordinator for the GP for Me ini-tiative through the SIDFP.

“We hope the public can bring forward ideas on how issues can be addressed within the system here.”

Nehra added concerns sur-rounding the shortage of family physicians on the Saanich Pen-insula have been numerous, and despite ongoing efforts by local physicians to respond to the needs of the community, there are too few full service family

doctors to meet the demand.

“The shortage also creates problems at the Saanich Peninsula Hospital where fam-ily physicians provide much of the care,” said Nehra.

In the fall of 2013, Dr. Ambrose Marsh, Chief of Staff at Saan-ich Peninsula Hospital, and Karen Morgan, the Executive Director for the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation made a presentation to the three Saanich Peninsula councils regarding the dwindling numbers of doctors in the area.

Nehra said factors like general practitioners retiring — approxi-mately 50 per cent of family doc-tors on the Saanich Peninsula are slated to retire in the next seven years — and the difficulty in retaining new doctors in the area are both reasons why the initiative is so important.

“The focus tends to be on bringing in GPs but we also need to remember we need to do everything we can to retain those GPs. There are people on the Peninsula who have fam-ily doctors, and they are very lucky, but there are also lots of people who don’t. We’re seeing new, young families who move into the community that don’t have a GP and can’t get one. It’s not necessarily something peo-

ple think of when they move somewhere,” Nehra said.

“We also have to consider the Saanich Peninsula is home to a large senior popu-lation. I think there is heightened anxi-ety because of recent retirements that a patient may not have a GP,” said Nehra, add-ing that often a GP is a patient’s main link

to referrals for specialized care, tests or treatment.

The forum will be attended by the mayors from all three munic-ipalities, some councillors, the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation and service provid-ers in the local health care sys-tem.

“This is an opportunity to talk openly with community lead-ers, doctors and the general public,” said Nehra. “It’s a learn-ing opportunity for everybody where we hope we can receive ideas big and small.”

The SIDFP held a similar forum in the Sooke area in November, added Nehra.

A GP for Me Community Forum is Saturday, Feb. 15 from noon to 3 p.m. at the Mary Win-spear Centre. For details visit www.divisionsbc.ca/south-island or www.agpforme.ca.

Sidney’s mayor says the public will have plenty of opportunity to weigh in on plans to redevelop property to the north of the Sidney Pier Hotel.

Called Seaport Place, the owners have plans to tear down the former Mineral World/Captain’s Table build-ing. It will be replaced by up to three, three-story residential buildings with some commercial or institutional space. A portion of the land on the waterfront side will be turned into green space, owned by the Town.

Mayor Larry Cross said the pro-cess is right at the beginning with a

developer open house held Jan. 16.The land, currently owned by the

Town and leased to the development partnership for the next 42 years, will be transferred to those devel-opers under the proposed deal. in exchange, said Cross, the Town gets the green space for a park expansion and the tax revenue from a newly-developed site.

To get to that point, Cross said the Town is going through its rezon-ing steps and bylaw amendments to allow for taller buildings. These, he said, will be public processes.

‘It will,” he said, “depend a bit on the residents of Sidney. They’re the ones to say yea or nay on it.”

Seaport Place deal will see public consultation

YOUR VIEW

Rule of Law took centre stage at North Saanich council on Feb. 3 as the two lawyers on council — Mayor Alice Finall and Councillor Dunstan Browne — locked horns over the democratic right of resi-dent Springfield Harrison to speak.

Mr. Harrison’s presentation of an expert critique on the CTQ survey on housing density by an eminent professor at University of Victoria, was vociferously challenged by Coun. Ted Daly, who sought to have it struck off. It was even suggested citizens should not be allowed to take issue with matters before coun-cil unless the subject proponents are present.

So now we know. The “Rule of Law” in North Saanich is not the sword of justice, defending rights of citizens, but rather the hammer of tyranny to crush dissent and keep rulers safe from the inconve-nience of citizens and democratic rights. No doubt Putin in Russia, Yanukovych in Ukraine, Xi Jinping in China and Assad in Syria would all approve.

If this “Rule of Law” had prevailed there would have been no American or French Revolutions, the Third Reich might have lasted a thousand years and Nelson Mandela would have ended his days rotting in jail.

The rule of law is the servant of democracy and the people — not the other way ‘round!

Time to take back the country from Harper

It was with moral outrage that I viewed Mr. Fantino and the Con-servative government’s actions towards our veterans.

My father served his country and through him I had the privilege of meeting Second World War veterans that suffered through the horrors of battles as well as prison camps. The veterans of our country risked life and limb so that these so-called politicians could sit in a democratic house.

The government is saying that some of the smaller veteran affairs offices serve only 166 vets. I say, so what?

Even if only one vet needs and uses that office it should be there for them as they have earned that right. This same government that thinks this is a good way to save money had no problem spending 2.5 million dollars on an action plan that does not even exist.

I only wish there was a way that we the citizenry could remove this Harper government from office immediately. This government is no longer governing in the best interest of the Canadian public but only the chosen few who financially support them in back rooms.

With any luck the Conservative Party will be decimated in the 2015 federal election. It is time for the people of this great country to take

back Canada from the clenches of Mr. Harper and his minions with there dictatorial style of gover-nance.

I am delighted that various areas of Greater Victoria and Sidney will benefit from the production of Gracepoint, a remake of the highly popular British show Broadchurch.

However, please tell me there will be a different ending – a different murderer. The main reason Broadchurch was so successful in the UK, apart from superb acting and photography, was that it was a genuine whodunnit.

Nobody guessed who the murderer was until the very last episode. Now that we all know (or soon will from friends who cannot keep a secret) who the murderer is, just what is the point?

Pauline MillsEsquimalt

Editor’s note: Fox Entertainment chairman Kevin Reilly revealed in January that Gracepoint will indeed feature a different ending than Broadchurch.

Wrong reaction to disquiet

If you live in North Saanich and take issue with important policy decisions of your municipal council, don’t expect to be heard for very long.

There appears to be only a small window to disagree with the majority of council and if you haven’t had the luck or the skill to change their minds in that time, you may never get the chance again.

Springfield Harrison found that out Monday night, as he tried to present a critique of a consultant’s housing survey. It was a small part in the District’s overall housing consultation process but has been given a lot of weight by council and their supporters to proceed with increasing housing development.

Councillors voted to remove Mr. Harrison from the delegation list on the agenda. The reason? Council has heard the complaints before and the consultant wasn’t there to defend himself. This, despite the fact the majority of council was at Monday night’s meeting were the subject of most of Mr. Harrison’s critique and were definitely there to defend themselves.

That defense took the form of preventing Mr. Harrison from speaking his mind.

It’s exceedingly rare for a municipal body to not hear from a concerned citizen on any particular matter. People want to know they have been heard. They might not expect to change anyone’s mind on the issues, but they want that opportunity and they want to be valued for their ideas and concerns.

It’s a councillor’s job to represent the people of their community — not just their main supporters — and make decisions for the betterment of the entire municipality. Even if they feel they have acted in those best interests, a councillor must expect to be questioned and even severely criticized for those same decisions.

A politician not prepared for that should seriously consider whether they want to be in that position.

North Saanich councillors, in refusing to hear legitimate concerns in this manner, have done their community a disservice. At a time when more people want meaningful discourse on the issues, this move set politics back another step.

VICTORIA – B.C. Fer-ries sailing reductions to save $18.9 million will go ahead largely as announced last year, with some “refining” to come after hearing pub-lic concerns, Transpor-tation Minister Todd Stone said Wednesday.

Stone released the final report on con-sultation with coastal communities, confirm-ing that despite public objections, low-utiliza-tion sailings on minor routes across the sys-tem will be stopped by April 28. Final sched-ules are to be released by the end of March.

Stone said some routes have the option of eliminating mid-day sailings so they can retain early-morning and late evening routes used by people going to work or taking in events. B.C. Ferries will meet with community repre-sentatives to examine those options, although Stone acknowledged that union contracts restrict possible sav-ings from splitting up the service day.

Surveys showed most opposed, but seniors will lose their long-standing free ride on Monday through Thursday sailings. B.C. Ferries will also go ahead with a pilot pro-

gram of slot machines on one of the major routes, another idea panned by most of the public.

Stone said “tough decisions” were nec-essary to maintain the long-term viability of the ferry service, which has seen declining rid-ership, rising fares and a federal and provincial subsidy that reached $200 million this year.

“None of this should come as a surprise,” he said.

Stone cited examples of unsustainable ferry service, including a Monday night sailing from Skidegate to Alli-ford Bay that averages one passenger and one vehicle.

NDP ferry critic Claire Trevena said cut-

ting mid-day sailings to save morning and eve-ning runs isn’t much of a solution, because it shifts traffic to peak times where ferries may be overloaded.

“It’s going back to communities to say, OK, do you want to lose your left hand or your right hand,” Trev-ena said.

The only signifi-cant route change announced as a result of public objections is an increase of the sum-mer sailing from Bella Coola to Bella Bella from one run a week to three. B.C. Ferries is going ahead with elimi-nation of the run from Port Hardy to the cen-tral coast, which has been marketed as a cir-cle tour from the Lower

Mainland to Vancouver Island to the B.C. Inte-rior.

B.C. Ferries issued a statement saying it will announce another cus-tomer response survey next week.

The government’s consultation report has been posted online at www.coastalferriesen-gagement.ca.

Ferry cuts to go ahead in AprilDespite public objections, Liberals set to cut $19 million

Low-use sailings on minor routes (not including the Mill Bay ferry above) will be scrapped by April 28, says the province.


drivewayBC.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat drivewayBC.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat

From rather ordinary to rather extraordinaryTampa, Florida – Being the best at something is an achievement, and doing it repeatedly is impressive. The Honda Civic’s 16-year streak as the best selling passenger car in Canada is nothing short of astounding. For the introduction the 2014 Civic, Honda chose usually sunny and hot Tampa, to introduce their latest update. It was sunny but anything from hot, with overnight temperatures near freezing. Honda has been improving the Civic continuously since the 7th generation model was introduced as a 2012 mod-el. Last year, for 2013, they updated the styling, handling and interior of the 2013 model and now for 2014 they are at it again.

LooksThe styling focus for 2014 is on the coupe. Roughly 15 per cent of all Civics are sold as a coupe, the most dominant player in the small coupe market. Last year, this sedan received updates to the front and rear styling to help make it look more upscale and sophisticated, and this year the coupe gets a similar update to the front and back, but the changes are meant to provide a sporti-er look with a bit more aggression. The most aggressive version of both

the sedan and coupe is the SI model that gets an even more forceful grille and front bumper design plus a rear spoiler and lower air diffuser. Wheel sizes have also changed with the regular coupe receiving 16-inch wheels, up from 15-inches, and the SI now bumps the size from 17-inches to 18-inches.

InsideOne of the reasons that the Civic is the best selling car in Canada is the practical, yet sporty interior in both the sedan and coupe. Many people, including me, didn’t initially like the split dash with the speedometer on the top and the ta-chometer on the bottom, but over time this design has proven to be a winner. I was wrong. The split design now incorporates more information to see without having to take your eyes off the road. The trip computer and other functions like radio station information are just below the front window. In

addition, the front seats are very supportive and the steering wheel is low and small for a racy feel. What is new for both the sedan and this coupe is the introduc-tion of Display Audio system that is available on the EX and Touring models. This is a large iPad-like touch-screen design that lets the driver access many functions from the radio to apps that piggyback off your iPhone. (No Android apps yet but they are working on this.) This taps into the power of your phone, in the big screen, with full

integration. I liked the speed and func-tion of the design but really missed a rotary dial to adjust the volume over a touch screen volume design. Yes, there is a volume control on the steering wheel but one next to the radio would complete the package.

DriveHonda has made one small change and one big change to help with fuel economy. The small one is the exhaust system has been adjusted in both the sedan and coupe to let the engine breath better, improving horsepower slightly from 140hp to 143hp. The big change is the introduction of an in-house continuously variable transmis-sion (CVT), replacing the old 5-speed automatic. This actually makes this little car more drivable and might be the best CVT on the market. The car snaps away from a stop and cruises with ease on the highway, with quick changes

in the gear ratio that helps mimic a conventional automatic design. In addition, there is a sport mode and paddle shifters on the steering wheel to help liven things up. Honda has done a first rate job here and their efforts have been rewarded with a six per cent improvement in city fuel economy and an overall drop from 6.2L/100km combined to 6.0L, something very hard to do with such a small car. The driving dynamics of the Civic has always been very good due to a fully independent suspension and willing engine. The 143hp is a nice match for this car and the CVT is a great comple-ment. The 5-speed manual is a blast to drive but it could use a 6th gear on the highway, as the high-revving engine can get noisy. The steering is crisp and the car overall instills a high level of confidence.

VerdictHonda admits that their Civic might not be the top choice in every reason to buy a compact car but they are near the top in all categories. From fuel economy to reliability, resale value, cost of ownership and sportiness this car is a good choice. The many improvements made to the car over the past three-model-years, has taken the Civic from rather ordinary to rather extraordinary. They know how to make a good, solid, reliable car and for 2014 things just a little bit more interesting.

Picture this: You’re a teen-ager with a driver’s license, your wealthy parents have left you alone for the day and there has just been a huge snowfall. Your parents decided to take the SUV and the Porsche Carrera 4S is sitting all by its lonesome in the garage. All your friends are busy so you’ll need to make your own fun today. But how?The key to this stellar coupe, which generally remains under armoured guard, somehow surfaces. Then you hear a voice calling your name. You look around and wonder if you’re imagining things or if the milk you drank for breakfast had expired.You look down at the key fob and it is speaking to you. Through its German accent you decipher words like, “traction control off,” “sliding sideways,” “car control,” and the best of all, “you won’t get in trouble.”Then giddiness overcomes your body. Your eyes widen. Your smile is uncontrollable.

Before you know it you’re nestled cozily in the heated sport driver’s seat, looking where you want to go and having the time of your life; sliding sideways on a snow and ice track in a $140,000 sports car. Life is wunderbar. The best part about this teenage dream is that it’s not a teenage dream.It’s a reality. For those wanting to learn car control on a designated ice/snow track, it’s entirely possible thanks to Porsche’s Camp4 training school.

The track’s location is less than a couple of hours drive outside of Montreal, Quebec at Mecaglisse. It’s a playground for the German automaker’s, rear-wheel drive 911 Carrera S and Cayman, along with the all-wheel drive 911 Carrera 4S. You’ll have the opportunity to drive all three vehicles in various parts of the facility. Whether you are learning how to control over- and

under-steer on the oval, or learning how to appropri-ately kick the back end out by blipping the throttle at the slalom, chances are, you’ll have a grin on your face the whole time.And if you spin out, you just keep going. The program commences with a driver’s briefing and drivers are intro-duced to their instructors. Proper seating position is

explained and then it’s time to hit the track. Exercises are done with two people to each car, and each Porsche is equipped with radios that are linked together. That way, the in-structor can talk to you and give you pointers while they observe what’s going on.Sometimes you get praise. Sometimes you get con-structive criticism. It’s just part of the process.

Two major points that were stressed in any of the exer-cises were: look where you want to go not where you are going and the tires can only do one job at a time.The latter means that if you are trying to brake and turn in tandem, chances are you won’t have the maximum amount of traction, and therefore, you can upset the balance of the car and possibly not execute the

manoeuvre you were trying to do. Even if you do make a mistake, you just dust off the snow and try again.The Camp4 program originated in Finland in 1996 and has since been executed around the world. It’s hard to believe how much you can learn in such a short amount of time. And how much your face will hurt afterwards and not even because of sub-zero temperatures.The cost of Camp4 is $5,195 (plus taxes.)That includes three nights accommodation at The Esterel Suites & Spa (a luxury hotel nearby) two full days of driving and all your meals and transfers from the track.As I said, even if you mess up, you keep going, and no, you won’t get in trouble for having fun. It’s part of the learning experience.Visit www.porsche.com/canada-pde/en/winterdriv-ing/ for more information.

Channeling your inner teenager in the snow

Classic trucks of the screenVintage pickups and SUVs are among the hottest things in the collector car world. Not surprisingly, they are also popular on the big and small screen. Here are five fine examples.1. 1973 Ford F-250 (The Blues Brothers): After stiff-ing the proprietor of Bob’s Country Bunker on a huge bar tab, Jake and Elwood Blues take off in the Blues-mobile with “The Good Ole Boys” – the country and western act that they’d im-personated at said bar – in hot pursuit. Love the shot of two angry musicians in cos-tume glaring out the front windows of the camper shell, just before the truck winds up on its side. 2. 1967 Ford Bronco (Green Acres): The much-loved CBS

comedy featured a then-new red 1967 Ford Bronco as the official vehicle of scatter-brained county agent Hank Kimball, usually seen driven around Hooter-ville and the Douglas farm (minus doors and top). For most of its run, Green Acres was sponsored by the Ford Motor Company, so the Bronco’s frequent appear-ances were no surprise.3. 1972 Chevrolet C-10 (Dazed and Confused): The 1993 Richard Linklater high school cult classic, set in the mid-1970s, featured what appeared to be a 1972 Chevy C-10 pickup in Cheyenne trim. It was driven by paddle-wielding upper-classman Benny O’Donnell (played by Cole Hauser), who freshmen

encountered at their peril.4. 1999 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning (The Fast and the Furious): Lead actor Paul

Walker drove this very spe-cial Ford pickup. Produced by Ford’s Special Vehicles Team, the 1999 Lightning

featured a supercharged 5.4-litre V-8 that produced 360 hp. It was used as a parts getter in the first of the Fast and Furious movies. 5. 1973 Ford F-100 (The Dukes of Hazzard): Yeah, it’s a shock, there were pickup trucks featured in the Dukes of Hazzard. Uncle Jesse always seemed to have a semi-ratty white Ford pickup. Most of the time it was a ’73 F-100 but in early episodes, he could be seen with a 1968 Ford stepside pickup and in later ones, a late 1970s F-250.Rob Sass is the vice-presi-dent of content for Hagerty Insurance, a leading provider of classic car and boat insurance.

engine intercooler, gives the Madaspeed3 a more distinctive frontal appear-ance.Regardless of price, trim or potency, core elements of this ‘3’ are its light yet rock-solid body plat-form, combined with a sport-minded engineering theme. Its lighter and stiff-er chassis has more high-strength steel and other enhancements to reduce body flex and combined with suspension changes the result is a tighter and

better handling car.The GX and GS trim levels come with a 148-horse-power 2.0-litre engine that provides a nice balance of power and fuel economy, which is 8.1/5.9 L/100 km (city/highway). The GT comes with a 2.5-litre that can deliver 167 horsepower and it gets 9.2/6.8 L/100 km (city/highway).Mazda3, which was first launched in 2003, has been consistently one of the best selling cars in Canada and the Mazdaspeed3 variant

typically accounts for less than two per cent of sales. That certainly makes it a harder car to find on the used car market and while prices generally tend to be premium they also vary considerably depending on condition and history. This generation Mazdas-peed3 is a more refined high-performer. It offers a more controlled unleashing of power from its turbo-charged engine, yet it is still an extremely fast car. Changes to its drive shafts

were designed to reduce torque steer (which still exists) and a torque-sensing limited-slip differential was added to the drivetrain.Mazda claims a top speed of 250 km/h and zero to100 km/h time of 6.1 seconds. Engine output (263 horse-power) is the same as the 2009, however it provides a more progressive release of torque that peeks at 3000 rpm and 280 lb-ft is available. Its fuel consump-tion rate is also faster at 11.5/8.0 L/100 km (city/

highway).Inside there’s enough room for four, maybe five, adults provided those up front are willing to share leg room. There’s more cargo room in the hatchback, however, the added security offered by the sedan’s trunk might be preferred and used prices tend to be lower. The only significant change in 2011 was the inclusion of electronic stability and traction control as standard on all models. The 2012 model year brought the introduction of Mazda’s “Skyactiv” per-formance and fuel-saving technologies, offered initial-ly on the mid-range GS trim line. A direct-injected 2.0L engine is mated to either a special 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission. It also got a mild exterior and interior restyling job that included an updated (subdued hap-py-face) front grille. Mazda3 is highly rated by Consumer Reports for dependability, offers great value for the money and can certainly be one of the better buys on the used car market.

bob.mchugh @drivewaybc.ca

The new generation Mazda3 launched in 2010 was an immediate hit with Canadian compact car buyers.The car, available as a sedan or 5-door hatchback, is a nicely proportioned car with curvy styling lines, more defined front fenders and a distinctive (happy face) front air take.The zoom-zoom mind-set may not be used in the advertising today but it is still very much alive at Mazda and my enthusiastic assessment following a first drive was that it was “the most refined compact car I’ve ever driven.”This generation Mazda3 initially came in three

trim levels GX, GS and GT. There’s also a high-perfor-mance edition called Mazdaspeed3. A hood scoop, which directs air flow to a turbocharged

After 22 years of edu-cating, inspiring and encouraging students in all things music, Stel-ly’s music director Jan Heinrichs left her post at the end of January.

Heinrichs had been teaching for 35 years. Prior to teaching at Stelly’s she spent time in Richmond, Mission and Comox, but Stelly’s was where she made her home.

“I have had such a personal connection with Stelly’s and with the wonderful people here.

“It’s such a support-ive family and a nurtur-ing environment. I have been very lucky,” she said.

Heinrichs grew up in a household that valued music, which sparked in her inter-est in it at an early age. After graduating high school early she attended UBC where she earned a bachelor of music and eventually a masters of music edu-cation.

“I was 22 years old when I first started teaching at my first job in Richmond. I wasn’t much older than some of the students,” Hein-richs said, laughing.

Over the years Hein-richs has been involved

in countless band, jazz band, choir, vocal jazz and musical theatre productions.

“One of the most amazing things you see gained by the students through music and musical theatre is self

confidence. Seeing that is the biggest thrill for me, I never tired of it,” she said.

Most recently Hein-richs wrapped up the school’s musical pro-duction of the Music Man, coincidentally the

same musical her stu-dents performed the first year she started working at Stelly’s.

“I started at Stelly’s in February of 1992 when there was no music teacher. I really didn’t have many students at the time so I worked on building the program,” she said.

To that end, she began work a few years ago on a project to expand the school’s theatre, something she

says she’ll continue to work on after retire-ment.

“It would be my dream to be able to see the theatre proj-ect come to fruition because it’s something the school needs so badly,” Heinrichs said, adding that her vision would liken the com-munity aspect of the-atre to the climbing wall.

“It would ideally serve as a both a com-munity asset and a school asset just like climbing wall does.”

Heinrichs is now looking forward to spending time with her daughter who attends university in Kelowna, skiing before the end of season and relaxing.

“One of the things I dream of is just sitting down and reading a book while drinking a latte,” she laughed.

Chantel Galveo will be taking over the department until the end of the school year. Also in the performing arts department is Ali-cia Bate, who Heinrichs taught in years past.

“It’s full circle,” she laughed, adding that past students wanting to return and teach at Stelly’s speaks to the supportive and family-like environment at the school.

Joining Heinrichs in her retirement from Stelly’s are Daryl Drew and Barry Hack. Roger Pires from Parkland Secondary also retired at the end of January after teaching for 27 years.

Submitted photo/Stelly’s Secondary

Jan Heinrichs retired last Friday after 22 years at Stelly’s Secondary. Heinrichs taught band, choir, jazz band, vocal jazz and musical theatre for 35 years.

“One of the most amazing things you see gained by the students through music and musical theatre is self confidence.”

Don DescoteauNews staff

Looking for a detached home but don’t have enough money to make it work?

For people consider-ing becoming a landlord, there are numerous options around Greater Victoria for mortgage helper suite. The range of suites is as varied as the homes they are part of – they run from hastily converted basements to full-feature accommodation designed and built to the B.C. building code, a.k.a. “legal suites.”

In 2010, apartment dwell-ers Jennifer and Keith Souter found what they were look-ing for in the Parkdale sec-tion of the Westhills neigh-bourhood in Langford. The sprawling new development offered homes with various configurations of secondary suites.

“With the income suite we were able to look at a full sin-gle-family dwelling,” Jennifer says. “That was appealing, to be on our own and not have to be part of a strata.”

While the couple were thrilled to be building equity, the living situation was not ideal, she says. The Souters were upstairs while their tenants took the main floor.

“We have a dog and we

were always worried that they might hear us. You’re always conscious of some-one sharing that space,” she says.

They began looking for a housing setup that better suited their needs and found it – about 500 yards away. In July 2012 they moved into a coach house at Westhills, one with a suite above a detached garage.

“We almost never see our tenant, except at rent time,” Souter says. “We feel like we’re completely separate.”

Buying in a new neigh-

bourhood tailored for all manner of families – from young people breaking into the market to couples need-ing close accommodation for elderly parents – is just one example of how to solve the need for a suite.

Realtor Kevin Sing has seen numerous such situa-tions in his 14-plus years in the industry. While there is generally always some finan-cial necessity to such trans-actions, he says, it’s not always about the mortgage helper.

“(Often) it’s about helping

family,” he says, noting suite residents can be at either end of the age spectrum, from college-age children to elderly parents.

“It remains a pretty signifi-cant reason for looking for a home with a suite. Usually we’re looking for a nice suite, usually above ground.”

Regardless of the reasons for searching out homes with suites, buyers should ask their realtor about the municipality’s stance on secondary accommodation, Sing says.

Most jurisdictions have

recognized the need for – and existence of – second-ary suites as a way of provid-ing affordable accommoda-tion. And for the most part, non-registered suites are not a target for bylaw enforce-ment, Sing says.

“Parties and parking” remain the two most com-mon reasons people rent-ing out suites in neighbour-hoods run afoul of bylaw enforcement officers. For buyers who need the rental income to help pay their mortgage, the legal status of a suite and the complaint history are worth asking about, he adds.

“If they’re relying on that income and their comfort zone is not to have to deal with a bylaw officer down the road, they probably should be looking at some-thing that is legal or perhaps rethink their financial situa-tion.”

As with homes them-selves, location is important to tenants. “It’s good to be close to a bus route, say, no more than two buses into UVic or Camosun or Royal Roads (University),” Sing says. A short walk to ameni-ties is also appealing.

While checking out pro-spective tenants is part of their due diligence, Souter enjoys the financial freedom the suite offers them. Not to mention the fact they’ve become part of a group of people in similar situations in the neighbourhood.

“I love it, all of our friends are there,” she [email protected]
