TheReview Wednesday, November 25,1992 — C19 Be visible on your bike by Cst. Brian Klemmensen Sidney/ North Saanich RCMP after dark without a light. safely. yellow for day is best. or yellow are best. There are many reasons why a cyclist could become an accident victim, the most prevalent being visibility. Often times a driver is looking for larger vehicles or a parking stall, and does not see the cyclist creeping up behind or operating As this area is conducive to cycling year round it is important to keep in mind some ways in making the cyclist more visible. Here are a few ideas to help all concerned get where they are going — Wear bright or light colored clothing — white for night, — Sew reflective strips on clothing or wear a reflective vest. — Always wear a helmet and’ choose a bright color, again white — Do not operate on the roadways at night without proper front and rear lights. A battery gel pack is good for most nding and will remain illuminated at intersections. You may even find you want to use it during the day like the latest model vehicles. — Mount a red reflector on the rear and add extra amber — reflectors for added visibility and protection on the sides. — Do not hide in the vehicle blind sports and do not ride between rows of vehicles in traffic. One slight movement by a vehicle can end up costing your life. The cyclist must make every effort to be visible, whether it be by lights, reflectors, reflective vests or just compliance with the traffic laws. However, lets all make a concerted effort to watch out for each other the next time we get out on the road. Harfield visits sister city Coun. Brenda Harfield arrived in Sidney’s sister city of Caims, Australia Nov. 16. During her three-week visit, Harfield will present Sidney mugs and a framed picturesque photo- graphed scene of beautiful Sidney by the Sea to members of the municipal council in Cairns. Harfield will also present a $100 donation on Sidney’s behalf for the Far North Queensland _ Youth Assistance Fund Inc. “There’s been a number of people from Cairns that have vis- ited Sidney recently. It’s a wonder- ful opportunity to show support to our sister city,” Harfield told council members at a Nov. 9 meeting. In her travels, Harfield also plans to speak with students at an elementary school in Caims. Over the past year, Ann Say, a teacher at Sidney Elementary has given students the opportunity to communicate, via computer and modem, with children in Caims. “It's a very worthwhile program for the students. They’re able to learn how students across the world are learning and studying,” Harfield said. Sidney council approved a $390 funding request by Harfield for the gifts and donations to be presented on the trip.

New Year’s Eve Party Mt. Newton auxiliary reaches $3,500 goal with homemade goods at bake and craft sale A goal of $3,500 was reached by the 16 members of the Mt. Newton Daycare Centre Auxiliary at the Saanichton Bible Fellowship Hall in Saanichton Saturday, president Val Noyes said. “We get the best support from these Peninsula people,” Noyes said. Despite heavy rain in the mor- ning, there was a good crowd waiting for the doors to open at 9:30 a.m., she said. All items sold at the annual craft and bake sale were made by the 16 members of the auxiliary, she said. “There are 16 people in the auxiliary, and that’s all,”’ she said. “Tt’s incredible, really.” Although some items remained unsold just prior to closing, hand- crafted Christmas decorations and other goods will be displayed for sale at the Mt. Newton Centre, just west of the Saanich Peninsula Hospital. Last year the auxiliary raised about $3,000 for the centre and this year the goal was set at $3,500. “T think we reached it,” Noyes said. “The support was absolutely fantastic. People are so generous for a good cause.” With the centre now open for clients seven days per week the centre’s building outgrew the aux- iliary’s activities, she said. The Saanichton Bible Fellow- ship building nght across the street is a perfect place to hold the sale, she said. Many of the crafts were made at workshops during the summer. “We have'a lot of fun putting it ° all together,” an auxiliary member said. Sold were baked goods, jams and jellies, Christmas decorations and a wide assortment of crafts. HANGING HOMEMADE Christmas free decora- tions was Shauna Michell, 10, who helps the Mf. Newton Adulf Daycare Auxiliary every year. Both her grandmothers, Kay Clark and Veda Michell, are among the 16 mem- bers of the auxiliary who produce crafts for the annual sale. * UPHOLSTERY *x ANTIQUES 6655 TRUDEAU TERRACE BRENTWOOD BAY, B.C. write On!
