Sara Wilson is quickly making a name for herself in a very male-dominated industry.

The sheet metal apprentice worker was recently rec-ognized by Camosun College for being the school’s top all-round trades student, and came in second in a national competition for sheet metal apprentices.

“It doesn’t surprise me,” said Ken MacDonald, Camosun’s sheet metal program leader. “Year after year, she was the top of her class. She’s quiet, poised – she’s a model student. And her skills were not only good with textbooks and writ-ten tests, she was also very good in the shop working with

her hands and the materials.”Wilson, 29, is newly graduated and now finishing her

apprenticeship at Seaspan Victoria Shipyards. And having received Camosun’s John Drysdale Memorial Award and a second-place finish at Canadian Sheet Metal Apprentice-ship Competition in May, she should have no trouble find-ing a career upon completing her red-seal journeyman certification.

“Right after high school I went to university and got my Bachelor of Arts. I worked at a coffee shop for a while before I realized I wanted a career that I enjoyed,” Wilson said. “I wanted to find a career I would love and I was think-ing of things I enjoyed growing up – hands on things like Lego and Meccano.”

Her first taste of the trades was through Camosun’s trades exploration course, where students get to try their hand at a variety of trades before choosing a more focused path. She quickly discovered sheet metal was where her passion lied.

“Just the laying out of the pattern on the metal, figuring out to to fit it on there, cutting it out and folding it up, put-ting all the pieces together. It’s like a puzzle,” Wilson said of her trade. “It’s very cerebral. You have to do a lot of think-ing, and a lot of hands-on work. Time just flies, I have a lot of fun doing it.”

Sara Wilson of Sidney holds the copper boat she built at the Canadian National Sheet Metal Competition in Ontario. It earned her second place. Wilson is in her fourth year of apprentice work at Seaspan’s Vancouver Island shipyards in Esquimalt.

CARLA WILSONTimes Colonist

Capital region drivers are payingprices not seen at the pumps sincethey peaked five years ago.

As the Victoria Day long week-end approaches, the price of regu-lar fuel at many Greater Victoriaservice stations was $1.419 perlitre Thursday.

A year ago, it was $1.319.Motorists are used to prices

fluctuating, but the last timeGreater Victoria hit $1.419 was in2008, just before the cost per litreshot up to a record $1.536.

Analysts blame a combinationof factors for the recent rise inprices.

Temporary shutdowns atrefineries in Edmonton and in theU.S., a supply crunch throughoutthe West Coast and a catch-up inretail pricing in the capital regionall played a part, they say.

A week ago, Greater Victoriagas was $1.390 per litre; a monthago, it was $1.232.

GasBuddy.com, a website thattracks fuel costs in Canada andthe U.S., predicts prices will nowstabilize in B.C.

Oil closed at $95.16 US per bar-rel on the New York MerchantileExchange on Thursday.

A tight supply in westernNorth America has been exacer-bated by a gasoline-productionshutdown at Suncor Energy Inc.’srefinery in Edmonton, said petro-leum industry consultant JasonParent, a senior associate at theKent Group.

Planned maintenance wasbeing carried out when it was dis-covered that further repairswould be needed, he said.

The shutdown in Edmonton hasfar-reaching effects because it isa major supplier for WesternCanada, he said.

In the past two weeks, whole-sale prices in Vancouver roseroughly 14 cents, but have notmoved in Toronto, Parent said.

He expects Victoria-areaprices will remain flat, saying thecrude-oil price has stabilized.

Greater Victoria has experi-enced an “exaggerated increase”because past competition fromhigh-volume retailers such asCostco kept down prices and mar-gins, he said.

Costco was still pricing lowerthan elsewhere in the region onThursday, with regular gas at$1.399, according to GasBuddy.

The lowest prices on Vancou-ver Island Thursday — between$1.249 to $1.399 — were at pumpsin Duncan and Nanaimo.

Victoria transportation consult-ant Chris Foord has followed gasprices for two decades and triedto find a correlation among fac-tors that could affect retail prices.

“I think we [in Greater Victo-ria] are paying a much higherprice for gasoline than the worldoil price would otherwise dictate.”

The only solution is to figureout how to drive less, said Foord,who was answering a reporter’squestions while riding his bicycleon a trail.

His suggestions: combine trips,be more efficient with vehicleuse, fill up when prices are lowand try to cut back on overall kilo-metres [email protected]

The Cowichan Valley school dis-trict will close six schools andbegin charging students to ridethe bus as it struggles to elimi-nate a $3.7-million shortfall.

The closings were approved bytrustee Mike McKay, who wasappointed last year after the B.C.government fired the electedboard for passing a deficitbudget.

A restructuring plan, whichincludes the closings, eliminatesmiddle schools in favour ofkindergarten to Grade 7 elemen-tary schools and Grade 8 toGrade 12 secondary schools.

Koksilah Elementary, A.B.Greenwell Elementary, SomenosRural Traditional, Yount Elemen-tary and École Mill Bay Elemen-tary will close at the end of June.

Charles Hoey VC, an adultlearning centre, will close Dec. 31and its classes will move toanother location.

School district superintendentJoe Rhodes said A.B. Greenwellwas already empty due to con-cerns about mould, while Yountwas temporarily re-opened tohouse the students from Green-well. Both will now officiallyclose and the 90 students willattend Palsson Elementary inLake Cowichan.

The six closings will affectabout 540 students.

Rhodes said the district facesdeclining enrolment and risingcosts that the provincial govern-ment has failed to cover.

“We’re built as a district forabout 11,000 students and we onlyhave about 7,600 right now,” hesaid. “So we had a lot of excessspace. So how can we re-purposeour facilities to downsize so thatwe’re not spending so muchmoney maintaining them?”

The district has 29 school sites,school board documents say.

Rhodes said the school closingswill save about $2 million, leavingthe district to trim a further$1.7 million in programs and serv-ices. He said the district will stillhave to cut staff and increaseclass sizes to balance the books.

The provincial funding for-mula reduces money to the dis-trict as its enrolment drops

despite the rising cost of employ-ment insurance, medical serviceplan premiums and benefits,Rhodes said. “All of those types ofthings go up and the funding for-mula doesn’t compensate us forthat. We believe that the fundingformula needs to be examined.”

McKay, superintendent of theSurrey school district, alsoapproved a plan to charge stu-dents $200 a year to ride theschool bus. The fee drops to$120 for a second child and $80for a third. The district will waivefees for those unable to pay.

Rhodes said the district’s pol-icy states that it will providetransportation for students wholive in a school’s catchment area,but too far away to walk.

The policy, however, was for-gotten over time and the districtbegan spending increasingamounts to bus students to“schools of choice” outside theircatchment area, he said.

Rhodes said about 4,400 stu-dents use the bus system.

Former board chairwomanEden Haythornthwaite, who wasamong the trustees fired lastyear, called the closings “cata-strophic” and expressed concernabout the lack of public scrutiny.“The budget is going throughwithout anyone vetting what thatactually looks like.”

Haythornthwaite said the bus-ing fees make little sense.

“Maybe you think $200 a yearis no big deal, but that is defi-nitely going to have downwardpressure on ridership, whichmeans we’re going to haveupward pressure on private cars,which is exactly the opposite ofwhat we’re supposed to be doingin terms of public policy.” [email protected]

Peninsula News in briefDriving seminar at Star Cinema

SIDNEY — Abbeyfield House and Star Cinema are pre-senting a talk on senior driv-ing today.

The groups will host Steve Wallace of Wal-lace Driving School today, June 13 from 10 to 11:30 a.m. at Star Cinema on Third Street.

There is no charge for the presentation but organizers ask attendees to bring a dona-tion for the Sid-ney Lions Food Bank. Seats will be on a first come basis.

Sidney teen still missing

SIDNEY — Local RCMP are still on the lookout for a teen who has been missing since May 22.

Mikayla Sav-age, 17, last made contact with her family on May 22.

“We are fol-lowing up on all leads and have received reports she has been seen downtown Victoria,” said Sidney North Saanich RCMP Corporal Erin Fraser.

Savage is described as Caucasian, 5’0” tall, 90 lbs with brown hair in dreadlocks.

Anyone with information is asked to call the RCMP at 250-656-3931.

— News staff

Wilson was nominated by Local 276 of the Sheet Metal Workers Inter-national Association to represent Vancouver Island at the competition in Windsor, Ont. Competing against 10 other apprentices – all men – participants had a drafting test, the-ory exam and a build-ing component to com-plete in just two days.

“It was stressful,” she said. “I didn’t think I would’ve done so well, but they called my name for second place and I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face.”

MacDonald says more and more women are taking the trades pro-grams at Camosun, specifically in the last couple of years.

“It’s taken a while to get to that point. It’s not perfect, but it’s get-ting better,” he said about the gen-der balance in the trades. “A lot of (women) really have an affinity for

working with their hands, once they found they can do the work. It might be because sheet metal is a little bit more creative.”

According to the 2011 National Household Survey, only 5.9 per cent of tradespeople in Canada are

women. And 98.1 per cent of sheet metal workers in the country are men. The numbers don’t bother Wilson, who says she’s treated just like any other employee at Victoria Shipyards.

“Ninety-nine per cent of the guys don’t mind you’re there, as long as you’re working hard,” she said.

The best part, Wilson said, is fol-lowing a career path she’s proud of, and going to a job she truly enjoys.

“Every day in a coffee shop is the same – it’s all repetitive. But working with your hands, actually building something, it’s always different and you leave at the end of the day with a concrete result. I love that.”

“I wanted to find a career I would love and I was thinking of things I enjoyed growing up — hands on things like Lego and Meccano.”

Between the years 1942 and 1945, there were an estimated 15,000 mem-bers of a B.C. militia group tasked with protecting the west coast in the event of an invasion.

Yet, many people have not heard about these men — a fact that Vic-toria author David Clark hopes to change.

Clark, author of Pacific Coastal Militia Rangers, a pictoral history, is looking to add more information to his collection about Rangers units from the Saanich Peninsula, specifi-cally from Sidney, Brentwood Bay and James Island. The problem is, he says, there is very little official infor-mation on the Rangers retained by the Department of National Defence (DND) following the Second World War.

These days, Clark says he’s rely-ing on people’s collections and fam-ily histories to come up with pho-tos and muster rolls for the various militia companies on Vancouver Island and across the province. For instance, Clark says he has worked with Jim White, a member of a Vic-toria-area rifle club that grew out of the Southern Vancouver Island Rang-ers Company No. 1. The club, Clark says, held onto the historical arti-facts from their parent unit and were a wealth of information for his book. Details on other units, however, has

been harder to come by.“At this point, we don’t even know

who was in the Sidney Rangers,” Clark says.

He does have some photos of the unit in his book — one is a black and white image of a training exercise showing a group of Rangers storm-ing a Saanich Peninsula beach. Clark says he’s relying on the families of former Rangers to find material to round out his history of the organi-zation.

Ranger units formed following the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1942, Clark says. They were informal groups of men and boys age 13 to 87 were were unpaid volunteers. They

were eventually placed under the control of the DND at the time. Armed with their personal rifles and outfit-ted in their own clothes and often

their own scrounged equipment, the Rangers throughout B.C. guarded vital infrastructure and coastlines against an attack from Japan. While their equipment gradually improved, the Rangers were still considered a sort of home guard — local people who knew well their own backyards. Clark says there were four Rangers units between Victoria and the Saa-nich Peninsula and covered territory from there to the Malahat and as far as Jordan River. James Island, at the time an explosive manufacturing site, was protected by Company 133 due to its strategic importance.

After the war, the units were stood down and disbanded. Neither DND, says Clark, nor Library and Archives Canada retained any photographs or lists of the names of these men.

That’s why Clark is asking people for their help. If anyone has informa-tion about local Rangers, or who had family members in the units, they can contact Clarke at [email protected].

“Most people don’t realize these groups existed. But they were at one time acknowledged as a major con-tributor to the security of the west coast.”

Any remaining Rangers, Clark con-tinues are either in their 80s or have since died. He hopes he can collect as much information as possible to keep their history alive.

Teachers vote in favour of full-scale strikeJeff NagelBC Local News

B.C. teachers have voted in favour of a full walkout to put maximum pressure on the pro-vincial government, but their union did not immediately move to issue 72-hour strike notice.

The result of the vote, con-ducted Monday and Tuesday, was 86 per cent in favour, or 28,809 out of 33,387 ballots cast.

B.C. Teachers Federation pres-ident Jim Iker called it a “very strong message” to the province.

“So far this government has come to the table empty-handed, it’s time to change that,” Iker said Tuesday night.

He said while teachers are pre-pared to go to a full-scale strike that’s “a decision we never take lightly” and would depend on how talks proceed with the pro-vincial government.

“You’ve got to remain hope-ful that government has learned from the past mistakes they’ve made,” Iker said, who referred to the union’s legal battle with the province over class size and composition and “the govern-ment’s chaotic lockout.”

The earliest a full-scale strike could begin is Monday and with no strike notice issued as of Wednesday it appeared the strike start could shift to next Tuesday or later.

A full strike would close ele-mentary and middle schools – parents will be advised to make child care arrangements if necessary – while secondary schools would be open only to conduct exams for Grade 10 to 12 students.

The lack of $50-a-day strike pay – the BCTF’s strike fund was expected to be exhausted at the end of this week – was appar-ently a non-issue for most teach-ers.

Sooke Teachers Association president Ian Johnston said the strike vote was held mainly to increase pressure on the govern-ment.

“It’s more the signal it sends to government; how strong is our resolve. That’s really what it’s all about,” he said.

The Labour Relations Board was to hear arguments Wednes-day on the province’s applica-tion to declare exams and final grades an essential service in the event of a full strike.

The province has also pledged to end its partial lockout of teachers at the end of the school year to enable summer school operations.

The government has saved $12 million in salaries in each week of the teachers’ rotating strike, plus nearly $5 million more by cutting wages 10 per cent based on lockout-retricted

teaching hours.Education Minister Peter Fass-

bender said the result was not unexpected.

“While the BCTF leadership received the mandate they sought, no one should interpret this as any kind of enthusiasm on the part of teachers to shut down schools,” he said.

He said teachers, parents and students would all rather fin-ish the school year on a posi-tive note, adding it took just five days of hard bargaining to secure a new contract for school support staff.

The province has offered teachers a $1,200 signing bonus if teachers accept its proposal of 7.25 per cent in wage increases over six years by June 30.

The BCTF’s latest proposal is for increases totaling 9.75 per cent over four years, plus cost-of-living adjustments in each year tied to inflation.

The two sides have differing estimates of the compounded grand total of the union’s wage demand – the BCTF estimates it at 12.75 per cent over four years, while BCPSEA pegs it at 14.7 per cent and says other non-wage compensation costs will fur-ther increase the bill, perhaps beyond 19 per cent.

Task force to hit the streetsSIDNEY — The Mayor’s Down-

town Revitalization Task Force will be undertaking a major mar-keting research project in Sidney beginning June 18 and running until June 27.

The project will include con-ducting 500 in-person surveys with shoppers to gain critical data on the current retail climate and shopping trends in down-town Sidney. Additionally, two other surveys will be conducted by mail-out, with business own-ers and property owners.

“The data collected through these surveys will be invaluable to the Task Force in identify-ing the strengths, weaknesses and opportunities in our down-town,” said Mayor Larry Cross.

“They will provide insight for community leaders and local business owners and will cer-tainly influence decisions made which will shape the future of

our downtown.”Jane Hall, who is a

member of the Task Force, has many years’ experience in the fields of sta-tistics, marketing, and business strate-gic planning. Hall is a CMRP (Certified Marketing Research Practitioner) and has designed the survey questionnaires. She will also provide training and job supervision to the interviewers who are conducting the surveys.

The Task Force has decided to employ local students to con-duct the surveys. This decision was made, in part, due to the high cost of using a professional service, but also more impor-tantly to provide Sidney’s youth with meaningful employment training while doing something

that engages them in the planning process of their community.

Students took part in training sessions this week and will hit the streets from June 18 to 27. They will be wearing Task Force t-shirts and name tags for easy identi-fication.

The mail-out sur-vey will be con-

ducted to obtain similar infor-mation from business and prop-erty owners within the down-town core.

Upon completion of the sur-veys, the data collected will be analyzed to identify critical action items to support down-town revitalization opportuni-ties.

School district queries exemptionDevon MacKenzieNews staff

A system for manag-ing student informa-tion is a the centre of a query by the Saanich School District into the Ministry of Education’s actions.

Three years ago, the school district devel-oped a new system for managing student infor-mation called openStu-dent.

“SD63 believed strongly in the need for a system that met the

specific needs of B.C. schools and was fully on track to implement this high quality, low cost system in Septem-ber 2014,” said a release from the district.

In March of this year, the district says it was informed by the Deputy Minister of Education that it had to comply with the government’s identity manage-ment standard which includes being able to work with a B.C. Ser-vices Card.

As a result, the open-

Student program would no longer be functional and at the time, the dis-trict decided to scale back the development of their program.

However, through a recent freedom of infor-mation request the district says that it dis-covered the Ministry of Education had applied for and received an exemption from the identity management standard rules until February of 2018.

At that time the min-istry would then have

the option to reapply for continued exemp-tion.

According to the Dis-trict, they were never made aware that an exemption was a pos-sibility.

“The Saanich Board of Education finds this information very trou-bling and will convene next week in order to consider its response to this new informa-tion,” said the release.

YOUR VIEW

In an era where most communi-ties are supporting the trend to car-bon emission reduction by encour-aging cycling and installing bike lanes and the much appreciated track around the airport, I notice someone in authority has decreed that all bike racks on Beacon Ave-nue be removed.

I wonder if this individual was also involved in the design of the McTavish Interchange?

Let’s call it a day on perfume

As a resident of a retirement community, I am constantly bombarded by various scents.

I understand that perfumes, at one time, were designed to mask the smell of ones hair or clothes during a by-gone era when nobody but royalty had a bath tub. But now it’s 2014 and we make perfumes out of toxic chemicals. Chemicals that are so carcinogenic that the people who make the perfume have to wear hazmat suits and respirators.

In this era Joe Average can’t have a smoke on the sidewalk because of secondhand smoke, but Betty White’s grandma can put 35 sprays of methylene chloride and terpineol all over her outfit?

Either call it a day on perfume or shift to natural alternatives.

Harper should listen to his own advice on science

I almost drove off the road while listening to Prime Minister Harper’s recent statement about vaccines on the morning radio news.

He clearly stated that parents should get their children vaccinated, science is behind it, and he does not understand how people can go off with their own theories that are not supported by scientific fact.

Northern Gateway and the Alberta tar sands, greenhouse gas emission control and reduction, fish farms, muzzling of government scientists, firing of same, planning for climate change impacts, and many, many other environmental concerns — all come to mind.

These are situations where he has deliberately chosen to ignore science.

He needs to take his own advice very seriously and start right now to listen to the people who know much more than he does — the scientists.

Bronze statue tells an important story

I was dismayed to see Nathan Scott’s bronze fisherman on Beacon Avenue was “rotated to offer better passage for pedestrians.”

Undoubtedly familiar to many, the man was portrayed by Scott looking up into the sky, and he still does, but at what? The whole point of the sculpture has been lost with this change, and strikes me as an affront to both the artist and the phrase “Sidney by the Sea.”

The fisherman’s gaze used to be fixed on the immovable North Star, which, through the ages, has guided countless sea farers. Even in downtown Sidney it was always there on clear nights, or between clouds. Shoes off and relaxed, the fisherman silently reminisced with anyone sharing his bench and following his gaze.

It is pointless to have him looking anywhere but at Polaris. I suggest the bench be moved nearer the sea, and away from the brightly lit street where people’s minds are on other things than stars.

It is a fascinating sculpture and a real asset to Sidney, and it is well worthy of a better location and perhaps a sign, encouraging people to sit and follow his gaze.

Sunny days prove risky for CanadiansCanadians love the sun so much, it’s killing

us.After being cooped up for months at

a time to shelter from the snow and cold and, in the case of southwestern British Columbia, interminable rain, we rejoice at the first days of warm sunshine. By July we’re positively basking in it.

And that’s leading to an alarming increase in skin cancer, according to a report released by the Canadian Cancer Society, Statistics Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada.

The report says there will be about 6,500 new cases of malignant melanoma diagnosed in Canada this year. That’s the deadliest, most insidious form of skin cancer that will kill more than 1,000 Canadians.

Another 76,100 cases of non-melanoma skin cancers will also be diagnosed. Those are less serious and can usually be treated in the doctor’s

office.Unlike many other forms of cancer, the incidence

of skin cancer is actually going up rather than down. For men, the incidence rate went up two per cent between 1986 and 2010. For women it increased 1.5 per cent. Mortality rates also increased.

Those are sobering statistics worth thinking about the next time the seven-day weather forecast shows a solid run of glowing, golden orbs.

Especially since it’s so easy to prevent skin cancer.

While it might be a little much to ask people to stay indoors, it’s not a big deal to put on that shirt, roll down those sleeves, slap on that hat, slop on that sunscreen.

And pay heed to that UV index that’s become a standard feature of most weather forecasts to avoid the sun’s rays when they’re at their most damaging.

A little summertime prevention will mean being able to enjoy a lot more sunny seasons to come.

After being cooped up for months at a time...we rejoice at the first days of warm sunshine.

Reduce Belly Fat! Increase Energy! Testosterone levels begin to diminish in men around age 30. In fact, by the time men are 60 years old, they typically produce 60% less testosterone than they did at age 20 (a man’s sexual peak). Many men over the age of 35 may already be feeling the effects of lower testosterone including:

Unfortunately at the same time testosterone is decreasing, estrogen levels are increasing, causing further muscle loss and gain in body fat, making it extremely difficult to maintain a healthy metabolism.

Along with a program of proper nutrition and regular exercise, researchers have discovered a group of naturally proven nutrients that can help you safely reduce excess estrogen while maximizing testosterone levels.

Ultimate Male Energy™ contains 100% natural ingredients like: Chrysin, Stinging Nettle Root Extract, Indole-3-Carbinol and Broccoli Sprout Powder to help restore healthy, youthful hormone balance by positively affecting both estrogen and testosterone production, which ultimately helps a man look, feel and perform at his best.

An Esquimalt painter wants to pay it for-ward after a local pet hospital saved her beloved dog in response to an online plea.

Sarah Bell posted an ad to UsedVicto-ria.com in February requesting emergency dental help for 10-year-old Allie Mae in exchange for painting work.

“I was laid off four days before Christ-mas, and then Allie’s tooth broke,” Bell said. “I didn’t want charity, but I didn’t get any responses.”

A month went by before Bell got a call from Carly Russell-Huntley, community co-ordinator with the #usedhelps program.

“We try to find ways of helping people in our community who post on our site, and this one really stuck out to me because she

just couldn’t afford to pay,” Russell-Huntley said.

After some phone calls, Russell-Huntley was able to connect with Dean Park Pet Hospital in North Saanich who donated about $3,000 in dental work for Bell and Allie Mae.

“We got a phone call asking if we’d be will-ing to help and we said sure,” said Dr. Sue McTaggart of Dean Park Pet Hospital, who added that many local vets do pro-bono work for those who can’t afford to have their pet’s medical needs taken care of.

“It’s about giving back to the community what you can, and we had the ability to help in this situation,” said McTaggart, who is one of only 11 veterinary dentists in Can-ada.

McTaggart did the extraction free of charge and didn’t take up Bell on her offer

of painting services.“Now she’s looking to pay it forward

to someone else in need which I think is great,” she said.

Russell-Huntley agrees.“Ally Mae is her best friend, she’d do any-

thing for this dog, and now she really wants to pay it forward,” she explained.

As a result, Bell has recently posted a sec-ond ad offering her skills to a worthwhile person, non-profit or cause. UsedVictoria.com will cover paint costs up to $150 while potential recipients are asked to respond before June 16.

Today, Allie Mae is healthy and full of energy, while Saskatoon transplant Bell is feeling the love from the Greater Victoria community.

“I’m so thankful to the hospital staff who donated their time, the incredible vet and especially to Carly who did not give up and went the distance for us.”

There’s a small group of seniors in Sidney who are reaching out to their peers with hands of friendship to help shed loneliness or iso-lation.

Many of the mem-bers of this club have been in the same situ-ation, brought about by the death of a loved one or a move to a new community that meant leaving a lot of friends behind. Gillian Else says this club has been around since 2003 to help create new friend-ships and prevent peo-ple from becoming too lonely.

The Sidney Single Seniors 55-plus club has been flying under the radar for some time now, but with 63 mem-bers and a full slate of monthly events, it’s a group that still enjoys each other.

Else, who has been with the club since 2004, says she found the group when she came to Sidney from South Africa and didn’t know a soul here, apart from her daughter. It was her daughter, she says, who mentioned the singles group, so she gave it a try.

Sidney Single Seniors is not about dating, Else says, but a group of friends that enjoy each other’s company and support. They meet three times a week for coffee, she continues, two times a month to play a little golf and to

bowl, once a week for a walk, once a month for a club meeting and every so often a lunch or dinner on the town. Plus, she says, they arrange trips all over the Island.

“The club was started in 2003 by Ivy Buchanan,” Else says. “She was a real go-getter and at the heart of many things in the community.”

It began under the auspices of Peninsula Community Services, since renamed to Bea-con Community Ser-vices. Members first met at the Wakefield Manor but these days use space at the SHOAL Centre on Resthaven Drive. Else says the group is grateful for the work done by BCS staff

to facilitate their meet-ings and club events at SHOAL.

The club was designed as a way for men and women who are bereaved or lonely to get out of the house and meet new people. It’s a supportive, fun environment, Else says, without any pres-sure that might lead to dates.

That said, she notes some folks have hooked up and got mar-ried. Getting hitched, however, means you’re out of the club.

That doesn’t mean friendships are over, she continues. Ex-members are always welcome back to the coffee sessions and friendships continue on outside of the group

setting as well.“We’re all just

friends. It has gotten me through some terri-ble times. I find, just by being with those peo-ple, it gets you away from all the drama in your life.”

Else says she hopes more people learn about their group, including medical pro-fessionals, and realize it’s one way to help prevent loneliness after major life changes.

Questions to Ask When Getting Hearing Aids for the First TimeAcknowledging hearing loss can be a huge psychological hurdle. � e hearing aid discussion can be less daunting when you know what questions to ask.A full audiological evaluation, not a quick screening is essential. How much hearing loss is present, whether one ear hears better than the other and where the hearing loss is, are necessary pieces of information for hearing aid discussion. Whether the clinic is independent or owned by a particular hearing aid manufacturer is important to establish. Independent clinics will work with a wide variety of manufacturers to best � t your hearing loss as opposed to just working with one manufacturer. � ere are di� erent technology levels with subsequent price di� erenc-es. Hearing the television better or improving conversation in quiet may be better suited to one level of technology versus someone who is a socially active, attends important meetings or are o� en in groups or background noise. More expensive does not necessarily mean best suited for your lifestyle.Dexterity is also important. Di� culty moving � ngers and joints may dictate one style over another as well as the size of battery needed.Another discussion is fully automatic hearing aids that adjust to the environment on their own versus ‘customization’ allowing you to control the volume and environment. Lastly, “one hearing aid or two” is a common discussion. Eyes work together for depth perception, ears do the same for sound. However there may be reasons why only one hearing aid is appropriate.� ere are many questions to discuss with your audiologist and at McNeill Audiology questions are always welcome.

Date: Saturday, June 21, 10 AM until 4 PM

Location: The Fieldhouse Centennial Park, 1809 Hovey Rd.

Have a story idea?


In her travels around the province, the newly-minted seniors advocate for British Columbia has received an earful from people explaining they some-times feel frustrated about ageism.

Isobel Macken-zie, named B.C.’s first seniors advocate two months ago, says many seniors are tired of other people telling them what they should be doing as they grow older. These are people who have lived their lives in their own way, she said, and now that they are older, some are facing changes being imposed on them from society and even various levels of gov-ernment.

“Yes, we all have an obligation to talk about age issues, such as mobility,” Mackenzie said. “But for some of these people, there’s a sense that they are being told – or forced – to do things that is not what they want.”

She said these people have differences like

anyone else, and what might be right for one person, isn’t necessar-ily correct for another.

“Many people still want to be able to take care of themselves,” she continued. “They want the tools to be able to do that.”

The seniors Macken-zie has heard in places like Prince George, Terrace, Kelowna and the lower mainland, expressed the desire to have better access to things like transporta-tion and housing, with continued challenges in being able to afford dental care and pre-scription drugs. All this while continuing to be active members of the community. Mackenzie said many seniors vol-unteer and even con-tinue to work in their communities. Losing their contribution, she added, would be a blow to the provincial econ-omy.

“These issues run throughout all levels of government – from sidewalks being cleared in the winter and afford-able housing to access to home care nurses and cleaning services.

This is work that we all need to do.”

As the B.C. Seniors Advocate, Mackenzie said it’s her job to lis-ten to people, their families, caregivers and more about the issues facing seniors.

“This office is not a single-issue panel but a permanent posi-tion and we’ll have to develop a plan on how to tackle the issues one at a time,” she explained. “I have a lot more travel yet to come and then we’ll take the summer to assess the impacts of what we’ve heard and what issue we are going to tackle first.”

The advocate is tasked with preparing reports to government and the public about immediate or long-term concerns facing seniors in the province. While her recommendations are not binding, they are made public and can have an impact on provincial policy.

Mackenzie said peo-ple have been grateful that her office has been created and noted it’s a long-term commitment to help address issues in the province.

“People are expect-ing I will be able to give voice to their concerns, making them public and reaching the gov-

ernment as well.”One of her biggest

surprizes while travel-ing the province this spring has been learn-ing about the high costs of medical travel from the interior to specialists in the lower mainland.

“Living on the Island, I didn’t quite appreciate the hardship on peo-ple,” she said, adding she heard many stories from many different places about the costs to see medical special-ists – and the desire to find a way to reduce those impacts for nec-essary treatment.

Mackenzie will be hearing more from seniors this month. She resumes a busy travel schedule this week, vis-iting Kamloops, Fort St. John, Dawson Creek, Penticton, Castlegar, Cranbrook and White Rock. She plans on meeting with local offi-cials as well as seniors and will tour housing and care facilities.

Safety Tip:This early summer weather means more cyclists on the road, so as a driver shoulder checking is very important – especially when making right hand turns at intersections, before pulling

away from a curb and before you open your vehicle door.

Question of the WeekGrad season is upon us and parents brace for the seemingly inevitable headlines about youngsters dying in drunk driving crashes. Would you support an initiative to ban young drivers from getting behind the wheel when attending grad celebrations?

Subaru has a longer Legacy than most know…Lafayette, Indiana – The Subaru Legacy could be consid-ered the wallflower of the midsize sedan pack.Front-runners like the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Chrysler 200 and Mazda6 constantly battle it out for their share of the limelight. All while this humble four-door sits on the sideline.In fact, some people don’t even know it’s in the game! According to the Japanese brand’s market research, many of those surveyed in major Canadian cities didn’t even know they had such a car available. Well, they do. And it’s great.For those not familiar with the Legacy, here are a few key points:It’s now in its sixth generation – yes, sixth – and has been around since 1989. It is 25 years young and looks nice for its age.The 2015 model comes with the option of two engines: a 2.5L, 4-cylinder (175 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque) and a 3.6L, 6-cylinder (256 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque.)What’s great about the 4-cylinder, Subaru offers it with a 6-speed manual. Our friends to the south don’t have access to such awesomeness. But on the flip side, it’s only available on the base model.Aside from the 6-speed manual, Subaru offers their version of a Continuously Variable Transmission, aka the Lineartronic CVT.While some might not be a fan of this type of trans-mission, don’t knock it until you try it. Subaru does an excellent job with the gear simulations and I didn’t feel the drone of the system under hard acceleration, even with the 4-cylinder. While I’d pick a manual any day, the CVT is darn good.So is the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, a stan-dard feature on all Legacy trims.It came in handy in the backcountry roads of rural Indiana. Freak thunderstorm with torrential downpour where you can’t see two metres in front of you? No problem! The windshield wipers were doing their darnedest to keep up with precipitation but the car re-

mained calm, collected, and stayed on the straight and narrow, even in the ultra low traction environment.For the times when it wasn’t pouring cats and dogs, taking the twisty turns was quite a lot of fun. Despite

its electric power steering – a steering type that can be done either really well or not at all – there’s a good weight to it. It’s not lazy or sleepy at highway speeds, but won’t give you an arm workout if you need to change lanes. It’s not jerky either. Moving the wheel in either direction won’t make the vehicle suddenly jump aggressively. Think of it like Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The

steering isn’t too hard, or too soft. It’s just right.As for the ride and handling, the imperfections of the road aren’t met with abrasion or hesitance. The undulating country roads were a great testing ground, especially with all the debris. But even with a fair share of highway cruising, I have no qualms with the setup.Inside the cabin, you’ll be welcomed by Japanese

hospitality. A modern infotainment system, an unclut-tered cabin, and soft seats make a day’s drive quite favourable.While the Legacy might not be at the forefront of consumers’ minds, Subaru is a renowned brand. And it’s renowned for its reliability and safety. This generation of product should be any different. On some models, you have the ability to outfit it when EyeSight, a system that includes pre-collision braking, pre-collision brake assist, pre-collision throttle management, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, lane sway warning, and lead vehicle start alert.The 2015 Subaru Legacy, with the manual transmission Subaru’s Symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive starts at impressive MSRP of $23,495. Shoot all the way to the top, and you’ll get the 3.6 Limited trim with Technol-ogy Package Option for $35,395. Of course, there are offerings in between. As for its wallflower status, I think it has the goods and confidence to play ball with the rest of the pack.

Thank YouSouthern Vancouver Island!

Our classic and collector car expert continues today with the third part of his four-part series on the res-toration of public relations executive Laura Ballance’s rare 1967 Ford Mustang. The Mustang T5 body shell has been painted, clear coated, wet-sanded, re-cleared and finally polished to a show quality finish. Now comes the fun part of a restoration, the reassem-bly, opening boxes and fitting all of those new parts. This is as close as you can get to being a car fac-tory assembly line worker except you are doing every task instead of just one, and you have all the time that is needed and you don’t have to work to the speed of a moving production line.One of the upgrades that the T5 will receive is a new product designed to dampen and suppress the driveline and road noise, making the inner cabin as quiet as possible and a bit like a modern car. The foil-covered pads have a peel-off backing and are adhered to every inner sheet metal panel such as the roof, floor, doors and

bulkhead. The next step is to install the new wiring harness; old wiring harness-es become brittle over time due to heat and corrosion at the joints and terminals, ask the owner of any British sports car from that era! The interior has been completely renewed from top to bottom staring with the headliner, trim panels, carpets and dash pads and the seats have all been reupholstered.Before the new back glass and windshield are installed (all of the other glass pan-els have been replaced) the new vinyl top is installed. Installing a vinyl roof is not a task that is performed very often these days, but

360 have the skills to do this in-house.LKQ stocks a huge selection of high quality muscle car sheet metal and parts. “If you are doing a premium muscle car restoration the only sheet metal you want to use is from LKQ,” said Rick Francoeur at 360.The exterior panels will soon have their final fitting. They have been fitted and removed during the resto-ration process countless times to make sure that the panel gaps are correct. The final fitting process will involve two or three people to make sure that the paint does not get chipped or damaged.Before the original V-8

engine was removed from the car it underwent a compression check, all of the cylinders had equal and strong readings so a complete re-build was not necessary. The carburetor has been replaced with a new two-barrel, the automatic transmission has been completely re-built, as has the rear axle. Rick talked Laura out of fitting a modern rack and pinion power steering kit or even upgrading the manual steering box to a power-as-sisted unit so it will be reliv-ing the Armstrong steering experience for Laura when parking at low speeds! One safety upgrade is the

installation of original Ford front disc-brakes; these are a must in today’s traffic. Collector vehicle drivers are very cautious. Invariably when accidents occur, it is the drivers around you that are not paying attention or cutting you off.360 have done their research and paid a lot of attention to detail during this rebuild, right down to avoiding the temptation of installing an exhaust

system with two tailpipes.Next week, we will explore what exactly a T5 is; how rare they are and explore some of the events that Laura and her brand new old car will attend in this 50th anniversary year of the Ford Mustang.

The Ford Escape is a found-ing member and top-seller in the hot-selling compact sport utility club.

It came with a new-look exterior, an interior makeover and improved safety features for the 2008

model year, all included a complete second-genera-tion redesign. Although it doesn’t look

much different from its predecessor, the ’08 Escape has a wider stance, a slightly higher belt line and

there are no carry-over body panels. A domed hood, bigger grille and new headlamps also give this Escape a slightly more aggressive look and it has better off-road attributes in terms of approach, break-over and departure angle capabilities. A base front-drive Escape XLS is powered by a 2.3-litre engine. Moving up a step, the XLT trim allowed a 3.0-litre V6 option and a tow package that bumped trailer-hauling capability to 1,588 kg (3500 lb). The top-line Limited came with leather, dual climate control air conditioning and Audio-phile sound system, more power features, and the V6 engine. Four-wheel-drive was an option with every trim level.If an urban commute is your vehicles primary job and good fuel economy is im-portant there’s also a hybrid version of the Escape. It has a smoother and quieter powertrain than the first generation Escape Hybrid,

introduced in 2003, and its city-driven fuel economy rating is an ultra-frugal 5.7 L/100 km. It was also available in both front-drive and four-wheel-drive. While stability control was standard on all gas-en-gine versions of the ’08 Escape, it wasn’t available on the Hybrid. Same story for a related new safety feature on the ’08, called Roll Stability Control. Both of these important active safety features were made standard on the ‘09 and newer Escape Hybrid.The Escape Hybrid is a full hybrid and capable of running purely on electric power up to about 40 km/hour. It also uses a continu-ously variable transmission. The 2010 model year brought trim upgrades to Escape and all models got standard Blind Spot Mirrors. A top-line Limited trim was added to Escape Hybrid offerings and an Auto Park System, which automatical-ly steers the Escape into a parallel parking spot, was a

new option.Ford Escape was essentially unchanged for 2011 and 2012. The 2012 model was the final year of this gener-ation Ford Escape. The Hybrid edition typically rates a little better. Resale prices are reasonable and there’s typically a good supply of used Ford Escape models out there. You can expect to pay an additional $2,000 to $4,000 for a Hybrid model.

Washing a car can be a chore and a costly one at that. In response, Nissan in Europe has begun tests on innova-tive paint technology that repels mud, rain and everyday dirt, meaning drivers may never have to clean their car again.The specially engineered super-hydrophobic and oleopho-bic paint, which repels water and oils, has been applied to the all-new European market Nissan Note to create the world’s first self-cleaning car.

It’s been many years since the key organizer of the Mad Catter’s Tea Party cat show first began to breed Maine Coons and just one since she gave it up.

Lifelong animal lover Gillian Huber was breeding Scottish Deer Hounds at the time when the sight of what

she considers the man-liest of all feline variet-ies caught her eye at a show and sent her hus-bandry in a different direction.

That path led her to leading the now-defunct Island Cat Fan-ciers and eventually yielded a shimmering star of the cat show circuit, Ché Purrie’s El Bandito of Hu-King, or Bandit, who after 13

years as a show cham-pion – supreme grand champion, to be exact – left this world and took with him Huber’s desire to continue working with the breed. She had already seen the best.

“He loved people,” says Huber, from behind the counter of Huber’s Lock and Safe, where she sells secu-rity products and prize ribbons, including an in-progress batch to be awarded at Mad Cat-ter’s.

“He loved the whole show bit. He just did it. He embraced the whole thing.”

Huber dusts off a plaque bearing the image of a Maine Coon with its eyes squinted shut and its head cocked cheerfully to one side.

Even after he retired from show business, recognized for exem-plifying both breed standards and cha-risma, the little guy in the photo wasn’t ready to leave the lifestyle behind.

“He used to put him-self in my bag when I was packing to go to another show. ... He just kept doing it. He just kept winning shows. One time I picked up the carrier. There was supposed to be one cat in it and I couldn’t believe how heavy it was. I looked in and he was in there, too. He was my love.”

Huber’s voice quiv-ers with emotion as she revisits some of Ban-dit’s career highlights.

Though she has lost the embodiment of her love, she’s far from lost her love for showing cats.

Aided by co-orga-nizer Susan Marshall, Huber remains a driv-ing force behind the show, set to take Mary Winspear Centre June 21 and 22.

About 125 cats of dif-ferent breeds compete in their individual class against one another in five rings for judges’ honours, each accumu-lating points towards recognition that week-end and at year end regionals.

Just as with dog shows, particular pro-tocols are in place and the competition can be fierce.

Unlike its canine

counterpart, cat shows are also a place where judges are often seen chatting with curious spectators and cat lov-ers of all stripes are wel-comed to (register) and compete in the house-hold pet category.

“You see all sorts of everyday, normal pets: some with bent ears; domestic short hair; long hair, cross-breed,” Marshall says.

“Anybody that has a cat sitting around their house can show as a household pet. ... It’s a fun competition for people who want to go out with their kitty and think their kitty is the best kitty in the world.”

Considering taking that plunge? Bring the cat out young, and at least give it a bath. If there’s a chance Fluffy will bite a judge, maybe leave her at home, Huber says. Some of the breeders will bring enough tension regard-less.

“You get people who are what we call ‘cam-paigners’ and they’re out for blood,” Marshall says.

“They want that win, but for the most part, we want to see new exhibitors come, have a good time, feel wel-come, get their kids involved. We like to think of cat shows as a family event, some-thing the entire family can get involved in, or at least come to and enjoy.”

The show runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Satur-day and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.

Admission is $6 for adults, $3 for kids 12 and free for children up to 5. See marywinspear.ca for more [email protected]

Corporation of the District of Central Saanich

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

NOTICE is hereby given of a PUBLIC HEARING to be held in the Central Saanich Municipal Hall, 1903 Mt. Newton Cross Road, Saanichton, BC, at 6:00 p.m. on Monday, June 23, 2014 with regard to the following proposed Bylaw to amend LAND USE BYLAW NO. 1309, 1999.

CENTRAL SAANICH LAND USE BYLAW AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 1844, 2014 (6871 and 6881 Central Saanich Cross Road and 6884 Saanich Cross Road)

In general terms, the purpose of the proposed Bylaw is to amend Schedule “1” (Zoning Map) of Appendix “A” of Central Saanich Land Use Bylaw No. 1309, 1999 for the properties at 6871, 6881 Central Saanich Cross Road and 6884 Saanich Cross Road by changing the zoning designation of the lots, as shown shaded on the map, from the R-1 Large Lot Single Family Residential zone to a new CD-7 Comprehensive Development zone:

Bylaw No. 1844, 2014 - Subject Property

The intent of the proposed bylaw amendment is to permit subdivision of the three properties into ten single-family residential infill lots.

All persons who believe that their interest in property may be affected by the proposed Bylaw shall be afforded an opportunity to be heard at the Public Hearing, either in person, by representative, or by written submission, on all matters contained in the proposed Bylaw at the above mentioned time, date and place. The entire content of all submissions will be made public and form a part of the public record for this matter.

No representations will be received by Council after the Public Hearing has been concluded.

A copy of the proposed Bylaw, Land Use Bylaw No. 1309, 1999, Official Community Plan Bylaw 1600, 2008, staff reports, and other related information that may be considered by Council may be inspected at the Central Saanich Municipal Hall, 1903 Mt. Newton Cross Road, Saanichton, BC, between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, excluding holidays, from the date of this notice to 4:30 p.m., Monday, June 23, 2014, inclusive.

SPECIAL COMMITTEE MEETING:CORE COMMERCIAL (C-1) ZONING

Central Saanich Council will be holding a Special Planning and Development Committee Meeting to be held in the Central Saanich Municipal Hall, 1903 Mt. Newton Cross Road, Saanichton, BC, at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, June 23, 2014 to discuss and gather early public input into the following proposed changes to the District’s LAND USE BYLAW NO. 1309, 1999:

CENTRAL SAANICH LAND USE BYLAW AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 1843, 2014 (A Bylaw to Amend the Land Use Bylaw - Core Commercial (C-1) Zone)

In general terms, the purpose of the proposed Bylaw is to make the following changes to the zoning regulations that affect development on properties within the Core Commercial (C-1) zone in Saanichton and Brentwood Bay village:

increase the maximum permitted building height from 10.0m to 16.0m; increase the maximum Floor Area Ratio from 1.0 to 1.6; and, increase the maximum lot coverage from 50% to 60%

The bylaw would also amend the regulations affecting developments that combine commercial and residential uses by reducing the minimum required percentage of commercial floor area from 20% to 10%.

The intent of the proposed bylaw amendment is to permit greater density and additional housing within mixed-use developments in the village centres of Saanichton and Brentwood Bay village, of a similar scale to other re-developed properties that have been approved in the past through Comprehensive Development (CD) zoning.

Please note that the discussion of this matter scheduled for the June 23rd Committee meeting is NOT a public hearing: the draft Bylaw No. 1843 has not received first reading. This committee meeting is intended as an early opportunity for public input prior to Council consideration of the draft bylaw.

THE ARTSPENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Friday, June 13, 2014 www.vicnews.com • A19

NORTH SAANICH — With deep Asturian and Breton roots, Canadian born Qristina and Quinn Bachand have quickly emerged at the top of the inter-national Celtic music world, win-ning 2010 Top Traditional Group and 2011 Top Duo at the Irish Music Awards.

Since 2009 the duo have also received three Canadian Folk Music Award nominations, a 2012 Western Canadian Music Award nomination for World Recording of the Year and four 2013 Vancouver Island Music Award nominations, winning the Award for Young Performer of the Year.

Known for her expressive and passionate fiddling style, Qris-tina is a consummate performer

who is clearly at ease on stage. She captivates audiences with a spirited performance that show-cases not just her fiddling and vocal talents, but also her energy and her love of Celtic music. As a vocalist, Qristina enjoys per-forming a repertoire of original and traditional songs that bring out deep emotions with which people can easily relate.

With diverse musical talents and a bottomless pool of cre-ativity Quinn is recognized as the “Young lion” of the Celtic guitar (Daniel Lapp) and “Cana-da’s top Celtic guitarist” (Ashley MacIsaac).

His virtuosic playing is more than eye-catching fret-board fireworks. A gifted and creative guitar player, Quinn adds a con-

temporary edge to traditional Celtic music. Quinn is also an in-demand sideman who has toured nationally and inter-nationally, performing with Canadian fiddling icons Ashley MacIsaac and Natalie MacMas-ter.

The Celtic Vespers service begins at 7 p.m. on Sunday, June 15 at St. John’s United Church (10990 West Saanich Rd.) in Deep Cove. There is no admis-sion charge. An offering will be taken to cover the cost of the musicians and the Vespers pro-gram.

For further information, call 250-656-5273 or email [email protected] to be included on an email list of upcoming concerts.

Celtic Vespers celebrate Father’s DaySIDNEY — Almost everyone has

experienced some type of dental or oral problem in their lifetime.

Now, imagine that you’re one of the close to 50,000 people living in poverty in the Capital Regional Dis-trict and you don’t have the means or resources to fix those problems.

Under the leadership of Kenny Podmore and Travis Stewart, local community members are present-ing benefit concert to support dental care for children and youth from low income families.

On June 15 from 1 to 4 p.m. the free concert, ORCCA Sings, will take place at the end of Beacon Avenue at the bandshell and proceeds from the concert will go to ORCCA (Oral Care for Children and Adolescents), a non-profit dental clinic in Sidney Elementary School.

ORCCA will be the first not-for-profit dental clinic serving children and adolescents from low-income families on Vancouver Island. There are an estimated 500 children on Saa-nich Peninsula and the Gulf Islands alone that qualify for the care pro-vided by the clinic.

Children and adolescents who are a part of the B.C. Healthy Kids Pro-gram (families who have an income of less than $21,000 a year) will have their dental care provided by ORCCA at no charge. Children and adoles-cents whose families have an income of between $21,000 and $40,000 a year who do not have dental insur-ance will be provided dental care at a discount of 30% off the B.C. Dental Fee Guide through the clinic.

Camille is survived by her daughters, Maryvonne (de Boisvilliers) Urban (Karel) and Marie Christine de Boisvilliers; her grandson John Urban (Francine) and great-grandson Terence Urban. Predeceased by her parents and her grandson Xavier Del Vedove. Camille lived on three continents over her lifetime and found happiness on Vancouver Island.

Victoria’s most eff ectivereal estate ad buy. Nobody can beat Homefinder!

A24 • www.vicnews.com Friday, June 13, 2014 - GOLDSTREAM NEWS GAZETTE

Don DescoteauNews staff

When the numbers show contin-ued growth in the real estate market, it’s hard not to be excited.

May’s sales figures for the Greater Victoria region showed the best numbers since 2010, according to Victoria Real Estate Board president and active agent Tim Ayres.

But the best of 2014 may well be yet to come.

“I haven’t seen a start to June like this in a while,” he said this week, when asked for his thoughts on the state of the local market. “It’s healthy.”

Forget the old expression about March coming in like a lion. Early sales for this month have local agents on pace to knock out the June 2013 numbers.

That said, Ayers and others con-tinue to describe the Capital Region housing market as “balanced,” meaning neither buyers nor sellers have the upper hand in negotiations.

“It’s one of those funny markets,” he said. “You don’t really have the buyers beating down your door. At the same time, we don’t really see an end to the busy season.”

From a cost perspective, prices are remaining fairly constant, with only a one-per-cent upward blip in the region’s benchmark price for a typical home.

With no pressure up or down on

price, and interest rates remaining low, there’s less chaos in the market and agents have more time to spend working with buyers to ensure they find a home that is the right fit, Ayers said.

“Whether you’re a Realtor or a seller, you want to be sure the buyer wants your property. There’s less complications that way.”

Bill Ethier, president of Royal LeP-age Coast Capital Realty, noted that when it’s a buyers or sellers’ market, it’s usually a sign that something not

so good is on the horizon.Having a balanced market helps

“put confidence back in the market-place,” he said.

“These times are like a nice, stoked fire going along nicely,” Eth-ier said. “Buyers have a chance to look around and take time and be cautious, but at the same time we’re seeing multiple offers, like any mar-ket, if it shows well and is priced well, it’s going to go quickly.”

He said the $450,000 to $600,000 price range continues to be the

sweet spot for sales in the region.Helping keep the market on an

even keel is the absence of impend-ing regulatory changes, such as the shorter amortization periods from late 2012 that prompted many peo-ple to jump into the market quickly ahead of that change.

The relatively low cost of borrow-ing helps too, he said. “We’ve been told we can’t maintain these low rates forever, but we’ve had this for four years now.”

Q: WHAT ARE SOME TIPS FOR

SELLING MY HOME DURING THE

SUMMER?

HomeFinderFind a place to call home

SELLER’S TIP | Unless you’re motivated, don’t expect buyers to beat down your door in summer

Market heading into summer with a bangMow your lawn

regularly – If you’re watering regularly, grass

grows especially fast when the hot sun is beating down so make sure to

keep it trim and tidy. Trim bushes and plant � owers if you have time and look into painting your house

number on your curb.Keep it bright inside – Increase the perceived

size of the home by opening it up, removing

heavy drapes and pulling all your blinds up.

The nose knows – Sometimes air fresheners

can work against you. Vanilla can smell great, but it can overwhelm

if not used sparingly. If needed, consider natural fragrances such as cut

roses, � ower petals.
