First Nations communities on the Saanich Penin-sula will welcome an estimated 5,000 people from across B.C., Washington State and Alberta for the 39th annual Elders Gathering July 7 to 9.
Close to 2,000 aboriginal elders will be arriv-
ing on Vancouver Island 2015 Elders Gathering, hosted by the Tsawout, Tsartlip, Pauquatchin and Tseycum communities. It’s mainly a social gather-ing, says Mavis Underwood, but there’s more to it.
“The event is a way for elders and their families to reunite with others they haven’t seen for a long time,” Underwood says.
Underwood, from Tsawout, is one of the main organizers and has taken on a lead role for the community. Organizer Perry LaFortune, who made the successful bid in 2013 to bring the Elders Gath-ering to the Peninsula, says there’s always a politi-cal aspect to the event — from health care and rec-ognition of wartime service, to the overall social justice movement within Canada’s aboriginal com-munity.
“It’s not supposed to be political,” adds Under-wood, “but social change is always a part of our lives.”
A variety of workshops will be on offer during the Gathering — discussing languages, story-tell-ing and more. LaFortune notes there will also be a lot of outings planned, from trips up-Island to whale-watching tours.
Helping reach out to local elders, potential spon-sors and other partners will be Doug and Kathy LaFortune — the King and Queen of the 39th Elders Gathering. Doug says the Coast Salish tradi-tion never saw kings and queens, calling the roles more ambassadors than royalty.
The Elders Gathering will feature an elders feast on July 7 and a grand entry celebration the same day. It all takes place in the tennis facility at Pan-orama Recreation Centre — one of the only places big enough to host such a large group of people.

Painting lines on tennis courts an inexpensive option but not a long-term solutionJim ZeebenNews staff
Pickleballers on Saa-nich Peninsula say the growing popularity of their sport isn’t getting the respect it deserves.
A delegation went before Town of Sid-ney council on June 22 suggesting that the municipality can make things right for as lit-tle as $700. However, council decided there were too many factors other than cost and offered an alternative short-term solution while promising that next year they’d look at building a court just for pickleball.
“We have been ask-ing Sidney council for three years,” said Brenda Hardy, one of the people leading the charge for pickleball on
the Peninsula.She says pickle-
ballers would like to play at the ten-nis courts at Iroquois Park. In order to do so, they’re asking the Town to paint lines for their sport, which are differ-ent from lines used in
tennis.However, adding new
lines would muddle the court for its intended users, says Warren Franklin, who wrote a letter to Sidney Coun-cil noting he attended the meeting “as a con-cerned representative
of the local tennis com-munity.”
“The effort of this group came as no sur-prise as they represent a new growth sport activity which has developed consider-ably over the past few years,” Franklin wrote. “What was surprising to me was the aggres-sive and dismissive manner they chose to take in their presenta-tion. There seemed to be little apprecia-tion for the impact on the tennis community or the Town council’s efforts to accommo-date them.”
Council told the pick-leball delegation that the municipality didn’t see the benefit of upset-ting one user group in order to appease another. Instead, coun-cil directed municipal staff to add pickleball lines and a net to an existing multi-sport court at Iroquois Park. Council also agreed to look at building a dedi-cated outdoor court for pickleball as part of the Parks Master Plan process, scheduled for 2016.
The decision wasn’t
what Hardy wanted to hear.
“When you get down to the basics of it, it makes absolutely no sense,” she said, ques-tioning why pickleball
lines can’t be added for now and painted over when a new court is built.
Instead of spending an estimated $700 to paint pickleball lines on
those two courts, she said the multi-court proposal will cost tax-payers $25,000.
Pickleballers sour over perceived lack of respect

A sign at Iroquois Park specifically prohibits pickleball on the tennis courts.

Welcome the EldersC
ommunities on the Saanich Peninsula welcome an estimated two thousand First Nations elders from across British Columbia, Alberta and Washington State next week for the
39th Elders Gathering.It’s a celebration of elders from various First
Nations communities and is being hosted by the four area Nations ‚ the Tsawout, Tseycum, Pauquachin and Tsartlip. The Gathering is held as a way for people to connect, to share experiences and knowledge — and to enjoy themselves.
The three-day event, hosted up at Panorama Recreation Centre, also includes a variety
of workshops and activities at various locations around the Peninsula.
It’s a celebration of First Nations culture and heritage and as the
organizers have described, a way for different communities to make connections, learn from each other and build lasting relationships once the elders and their hundreds of family members and caregivers have left the Peninsula.
Organizer Perry LaFortune has said the Elders Gathering is a great opportunity for the people of Sidney, Central Saanich and North Saanich to get to know their neighbours better — and vice-versa.
The event promises to keep local hotels, businesses and tourism attractions full, as many of the Gathering attendees will be using the opportunity to see the sights and weave it into an extended vacation.
That’s a great place to start building the relationship — and it behooves everyone on the Peninsula and around Greater Victoria to embrace it.
For far too long, there have been real or imagined divides between communities. It sometimes takes events like this to help break down barriers and demonstrate to each other just how valuable a strong relationship can be — not just one that benefits the local economy, but for the future.
A region that embraces all manner of its culture and its people can only grow stronger.
For me shopping locally is the only sensible thing to do.
It saves me time & gasoline and is less hassle and inconvenience when it comes to searching for and the expense of parking in Victoria.
Unless I need a rare/obscure item, I can find it locally.
Unlike the internet, local shops don’t take me an hour to navigate and use the online pay services.
Also, unlike the internet, I can touch, smell, hear and taste the item before I buy.
When considering shopping local, I can phone first, then run out and grab something quickly and conve-niently.
It’s also good to get to know the owner of a local stores — who will often bring in an item just for me.
I am so grateful for local busi-nesses to be there, so I use them whenever possible.
Christine M. RobinsonNorth Saanich
Where is the mayor’s affordable housing plan?
When the article featuring John Juricic’s comments was printed in June, supporters of North Saanich Mayor Alice Finall mounted the ramparts, pulled up the drawbridge and lit the fire under the oil, with the rallying cry, “The workforce wants in.”
Two letter writers told the employees of the airport indus-trial lands that they should live elsewhere and commute to North Saanich for work. Such imperious
comments were commonplace 300 years ago and are reminiscent of “Let them eat cake.”
These writers ignore, or are will-fully ignorant of, the impact on cli-mate change directly attributable to the vehicular commuter, or perhaps they simply don’t care. They have made it clear that they don’t want workforce housing here in their community. A new motto for these writers might be, “Let them eat car-bon.”
Springfield Harrison made the claim in his letter that Finall and her cohorts on council last term tried seven times to bring forward an affordable housing bylaw but were
denied by council majority. Let us be clear, Mayor Finall has
total control over council agenda. She can bring forward any item at any time. Her proposal, if she in fact has one, has surely been maturing for over three years now and I can think of no reason for the mayor not to table it. Unless the tabling of such a proposal, once passed, might leave her painted into a cor-ner. By that I mean, once North Saanich has an affordable housing bylaw, then developers and would be home owners will be at their door seeking rezoning approvals for more affordable housing options.
Talk is cheap. Let’s stop beating around the bush and call for Mayor Finall’s affordable housing proposal to be tabled immediately. That is, if such a proposal actually exists and is not a stall tactic.

Hit ‘em where it hurtsWhen I fist lost my vision in 2013
and moved to Sidney, I found the local merchants to be extremely helpful — and while there are some specific ones, others were too, and they are all too numerous to men-tion.
The merchants in Sidney have given me so much support and have made it possible for me to continue to stay independent. I am so grateful to them. I have never experienced such kindness and understanding in the past.

A poker run for boats is back this summer.
The Sidney Poker Run will take place Saturday, Aug. 15 out of the Port of Sidney Marina and organizers say they are welcoming all boat and boat own-ers — whether they have a skiff, a runabout, a cruiser, a fishing boat or a 60-foot yacht.
“It’s not a race, says one of the event orga-nizers, Dale Backhaus. “We have a long and a short course so as many people who want to take part, can.”
The Sidney Poker Run is a revival of the Vancouver Island Poker Run, which had been held out of Sidney until five years ago. That event had started in approximately 2000.
”It’s been renamed, has a new look and new logos and it’s open to a lot more boats,” said organizer Debbie Tracz.
A new non-profit society was formed
back in January as organizers felt it was time to bring the fun back to the boating community. The Sidney Poker Run is definitely a social event for area boat owners — and it also raises money for the Sidney Lions Food Bank and the Saanich Marine Search and Res-cue Society.
“It’s going to be a ton of fun,” said Tracz. “It’s a full day on the water.”
Following a captain’s safety meeting, the poker run starts at 9:30 a.m. off Sidney’s Bevan Pier. Backhaus said they are hoping to have a lot of vessels on the water that day.
The long course is 88 miles and the short, 30 miles, with stops at var-ious Gulf islands. Boat-ers will pick up their cards (or pick them up back on land after-wards). There’s a lunch stop for all vessels, no matter which course they chose to take, at Mill Bay Marina. And whoever has the best poker hand at the end
of the day wins the grand prize of $1,000.
There’s a dinner and dance at the Mary Win-spear Centre that night, with raffles and live music, and organizers say there will be local owners and boaters from Washington State here for the event.
“We’ve had a lot of support from the Town of Sidney and many others,” said organizer Dawn Attwood, noting the Sidney fire depart-
ment has plans to be on the waterfront to help start the poker run.
The group is still looking for event spon-sors and registrations are still being taken for poker run participants.
“At the end of the day,” said Backhaus, “We want to have some fun and help out those local charities.”

She also said it’s unfair to force pick-
leballers to compete with other users of the
multi-sport court -- ball hockey, lacrosse and
basketball players -- when tennis courts are
being underutilized. To prove that point,
Hardy said one pickle-ball player took it upon himself to track how often the tennis courts were used at Iroquois Park. In May, he went to the courts 10 times a day for 10 days and recorded any activity taking place.
“In total, he went and checked them 151 times,” Hardy said. “Guess how many times in 151 cases that both courts were in use? Zero!”
However, Franklin, the tennis advocate, said the informal report is flawed as it doesn’t consider how busy indoor courts were during the same time. He pointed out that, though the weather was unseasonably warm in May, peo-ple already had time booked and paid for on indoor courts.
“The bottom line is
that tennis and pickle ball are not very com-patible and we should be looking at dedi-cated facilities for this new activity,” Franklin wrote.
For now, the approxi-mately 300 pickleball players on the Saa-nich Peninsula will have to stick to play-ing indoors, at facili-ties such as Greenglade Community Centre, or on the outdoor courts at Parkland Second-ary School. But Hardy says those courts are in rough shape and are not available when school is in session.
In North Saanich, the municipality has prom-ised to add lines for pickleball to its tennis courts, located behind the firehall on Wain Road.
That work is expected to be done by the end of summer.
Continued from page 5
Pickleball players currently relegated to limited indoor and outdoor facilities
What is pickleball?Local pickleball enthusiast Brenda Hardy
says the sport has been described as “a mash up of badminton, ping pong and ten-nis.”
Players bat a Wiffle ball using oversized table tennis racquets. The court is about the size of a double badminton court and the net is the same as what’s used in regu-lar tennis.
The sport is especially popular with seniors who have lost some of the mobility needed for other racquet sports.
“It’s still fun, it’s still active but you don’t have to cover as much ground as tennis,” Hardy said.

Question of the WeekThe Insurance Institute for Highway Safety goes to great lengths to test the crash worthiness of new vehicles. Do you pay close attention to their assessments or are you happy that today’s cars differ little in the safety stakes?Go to DrivewayCanada.ca for the question of the week
Safety Tip:An average of 42 people are killed in impaired-related
crashes every summer in B.C. Plan ahead for a safe ride home – arrange a designated driver, call a taxi or take transit. Police across B.C. will be looking for impaired drivers at CounterAttack roadchecks this summer.

Smashing cars every which way to save lives
‘‘It’s quite a show to witness up close, but this is not entertainment; the various impact tests the IIHS run are designed to save lives.’’Keith Morgan
Ruckersville, Virginia: Crash, bang, wallop and the crash test is all over in a shorter time than it takes to say those first words aloud.And you would have to speak loudly to be heard over the loud bang and sounds of shattering glass that echo around the cavernous building used to test the crash worthiness of dozens of vehicles annually by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. It’s quite a show to witness up close but this is not entertainment, the various impact tests the IIHS run are designed to save lives. And, should you be tempted to smile, an inspection of the smashed vehicle will soon wipe it from your face.Prior to the test smash, a group of Canadian journalists spent a couple of hours touring the facility, eyeing many mangled wrecks, which, reassuringly, looked less wrecked the closer we got to later models. Clearly, their designers had learned some good lessons from the kind of thudding impact we witnessed. Car safety design has come a long way in the past 50-plus years and we were reminded of that as we entered the lobby. There was displayed a frighteningly crumpled 1959 Chevy Bel Air: nobody would have walked away from that smash in one piece.By the time we reached the viewing gantry above the test track, we were ready to witness, the ‘small overlap frontal test’, which simulates the impact of a car’s
front corner colliding with another car or utility pole. The lights began to shine brightly and we heard the rumble of the car as it launched along the 180-metre guide track. As the driver’s side of the car hit the one-metre high barrier, the dummy driving may just have noticed the spee-do was hovering at 65 km/h. (Shouldn’t have taken his eyes off the road.)All was captured on high-definition cameras from every angle and before we were released to amble over to inspect the damage, technicians armed with laptops downloaded all the crash data stored by sensors in and on the car. On impact, the car had spun off almost three metres to the right, rotating before it came to a halt it what might have been a sidewalk in real life. Hope there was no pedestrian in its path. At
the end of the day, the car manufacturer representa-tives would walk away with a DVD loaded with data and images to be followed by a detailed examination some weeks later.It’s over so quickly it’s hard for the casual observer to learn much but a slow motion video made for chilling viewing as you see the $250,000 dummy driver (some cost up to $600,000) flailing while hitting the airbag. Every habitual red-light runner should be forced to take in this horror movie.The IIHS, which began in 1959, is a U.S. non-profit
organization funded by auto insurers. The goal is to reduce injuries and fatalities (on U.S. roads and highways), but its powerful research has an impact worldwide, no pun intended.The tour was truly a revelation and demonstrated well how most of today’s cars come through rigorous impact tests with good marks and those that don’t soon get a fix. We were hosted by Subaru Canada, which has much to boast about, though it was re-strained in blowing its own trumpet on location.All Subaru models have been named IIHS “Top Safety Picks” for six years running. And that’s some feat: to qualify as a 2015 Top Safety Pick, a vehicle must earn ‘good’ ratings in the moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests, as well as a ‘good’ or ‘acceptable’ rating in the small overlap front test.Subaru is excited that its optional ‘Eyesight’ system has earned the top IIHS rating of Superior for front crash protection. According to Subaru Canada, the company expects the percentage of buyers opting for Eyesight to increase from the current 19 per cent to 30 per cent by the end of the 2016 model year. The Eyesight system detects obstacles and is capable of bringing a vehicle to a complete stop at speeds up to 50 km/h.By the way, for those concerned about crash test dummy cruelty, Raul Arbelaez, vice president of operations for the IIHS, says: “Our dummies aren’t getting as hurt as much they used to. We don’t have to replace as many rib cages anymore.”

Youngsters fear other drivers more than deathBy Keith Morgan
Public speaking just lost the top spot as the most feared task for the young generation.Distracted, dangerous drivers are now their first concern, new research funded by Ford finds.Generation Z consumers are more afraid of other mo-torists driving dangerously than death, public speak-ing, spiders and snakes, according to independent research company Penn Schoen Berland.Top fears for Millennials and members of Generation Z:• Other motorists driving dangerously (88 percent)• Public speaking (75 percent)• Death (74 percent)• Spiders (69 percent)• Snakes (69 percent)“Younger generations are growing up with different fears than their parents or grandparents,” said Kevin Shkolnik, vice president, Penn Schoen Berland. “Younger drivers are worried about distracted drivers, but they think technology isn’t just the problem, it’s also the solution, as we are seeing growing demand for driver-assistance technologies.”
The most worrisome driving situations among survey respondents include:• Snowy or icy roads (79 percent)• Manoeuvring into a tight parking spot (75 percent)• Backing out onto a busy street (74 percent)• Monitoring blind spots (70 percent)• Not knowing where I’m going (69 percent)Penn Schoen Berland conducted the poll on behalf of Ford Motor Com-pany, surveying 1,000, Generation Z (ages 16-22) and Generation Y (ages 23-34). The online survey was conducted between April 29 and May 4, 2015; the margin of error is +/- 3.1 percent.Ford says the new research validates its decision to offer technologies that will help drivers with common driving
concerns. Ford has now announced it will migrate driver-assist technologies across its product lineup over the next five years.“Research like this is important to Ford and other automotive brands because it informs us about the situations that cause consumers the most stress,” said Crystal Worthem, Ford brandmarketing manager. “As driver distraction and safety conversations have broadened, we are seeing what technology will help customers tackle their greatest fears.”The research shows 65 percent of re-spondents are more likely to purchase a vehicle if it has technology to help with parallel parking. Of those polled, 62 percent want technology to detect objects in blind spots.

Steven HeywoodNews staff
There was no class reunion for Stelly’s Sec-ondary School gradu-ates from 1995, so Isla Kiland wants to make sure the 2oth anniver-sary of that event does not pass without one.
Kiland, who is a grad from that year and who now lives on a farm in Saskatchewan, is look-ing for other people who earned their Dog-wood diplomas 20 years ago from Stelly’s. She started organizing a reunion party last summer and set the date of Saturday, July 25 for the reunion at a venue close to the high school.
The hardest part of
this, she admitted, was finding as many people from that grad class as she can.
She said she’s turned to Face-book and other web searches to help, starting with the names of her class-mates from the school yearbook.
”It’s just amazing
w h e r e some of
the people we all gradu-
ated with ended up. There’s some in China and other places over-seas.”
She hopes a call out in the local paper might
also help bring people home this summer.
“I would feel terrible if anyone was missed.”
Kiland said she arranged for the Grad ‘95 emcees to return to the stage — Stuart Adank and Nicki Cox. They lead the event that starts at 6 p.m. with a buffet dinner. Kiland said the reunion events start at 4 p.m. and the children of grads are, of course, welcome.
Evening events include a slideshow, open mic, a profes-sional photo booth and more.
Kiland added she is also seeking local busi-nesses as sponsors or supporters. Already, she said, she received an anonymous $2,000
donation.“I am so very grateful
for this incredibly gen-erous act of kindness which was used to help lower the ticket prices
for attendees,” she said. “I have enjoyed the organizing process and think it will be fun to get our class together again for an evening, 20
years later.”For more informa-
tion on the event and how tickets can be pur-chased, email, [email protected].
SIDNEY — Two homes in Sidney were broken into sometime overnight on June 28.
In both cases, the residents were away and entry was gained through the back door.
Sidney North Saanich RCMP say the method
used to open the door likely caused consider-able noise.
Police believe the same person or group of people are behind both incidents. Jewelry was the target in both thefts.
RCMP said the inci-
dents are a reminder to be mindful of your neighbourhood, and to report any unusual activity such as loud banging, glass breaking or suspicious people in the area. Also, remem-ber to lock all doors and keep valuables in a
secure location.— Sidney North Saanich RCMP

Doreen Agnes TrivettOctober 24, 1926 - June 2, 2015
Mom this one is so hard to write as it is the final goodbye. You were a special lady, who gave your family love and dedication every day. You inspired us to be independent and adventurous. You taught us the art of giving. We miss your sense of humor, laughter and ready smile. We will remember you in our hearts and thoughts always. Doreen passed away with family at her side on June 2, 2015. She was predeceased after 58 years of marriage by her husband Don. She is survived by her daughter Debbie, son Dave and grandchildren Sarah, Jessie and Jamie. The family would like to thank the nurses and staff at Broadmead Lodge for the excellent care Mom received.

For fans attending the Junior A Shamrock games in 2015, a certain level of confusion might be forgivable as the Cullen clan takes their place on the field of play.
Max Cullen is joined on the Junior A squad by his two cous-ins, Jake and Rees.
“It’s really pretty neat that we’re all on the same team,” said Max. “Jake and I have played together our whole lives, but this is the first time that Rees has been able to make the same team ... so having the three of us together is great.”
Max and Jake, both 20 years old, are in their third and final year on the Junior A team where players may only play for three seasons.
But with the addition of Rees to the team in his first year of
play, the Cullen legacy will live on ... at least for a few more years.
As one might imagine, lacrosse is in the Cullen DNA.
“All of our dads played,” said Rees, “and my Uncle Paul played for the senior Shamrock squad when he was younger ... so I guess you could say it’s in our blood.”
All three of the Cullen boys hope to graduate to the senior Shamrocks squad when its time, but Max acknowledges that it’s also possible that any one of them might be drafted by one of the other senior teams.
“I’ve had the chance to play with the senior (Shamrocks) team a few times when they were short players and called me up for a few games,” said Max. “It was an amazing experi-ence.
“You grow up watching these guys play,” he said, “and you
really become part of the team as a fan. Then one day you’re out there playing as part of the team. It’s hard to describe how great that is.”
All three Cullen boys stress that a major attraction to the game has always been the high level of competition.
“I’ve been playing for 13 years now and the teams have always been really close,” said Jake. “Even now, there are about five teams at our level (Junior A) who are very close — very competitive. It’s a great game to come out and watch — always exciting.
And just to ensure that the leg-acy continues, there’s another Cullen in the wings.
Guy Cullen also plays lacrosse for the squad at an intermediate level. According to the family, they expect him on the Junior A team before his career is [email protected]

The Cullen clan, Rees, Max and Jake (from left) have been making their mark with the Junior A Shamrocks lacrosse team.
NORTH SAANICH — The 2015 Peninsula Power Under 16 C girls fastball team has won their district champion-ship and are off to pro-vincials this weekend.
The Districts were played out June 12 to 14 at Lake Hill and saw the Peninsula squad, which had finished in a three-way tie for first place with Sooke and Central Saanich, out score their opponents 64-14 over four games to go undefeated.
Peninsula started off with a huge win over Duncan - Marsh on June 12 and then faced a very determined Car-narvan squad the fol-lowing morning. Those two wins set the stage for a match up with Sooke in the A pool final June 14.
Rachel Simpson and Sarah Balderson
combined for seven innings on the mound and allowing only two runs in a 4-2 victory. This earned the squad a berth in the final against Central Saan-ich.
Peninsula proved to be too much. Simpson started the final and left after three innings with an 8-6 lead. Balderson came on in the fourth, allowing only one run in front of some stellar defense. Peninsula’s hot bats took over in
the sixth inning, run-ning the score to 16-7. The game was called due to the run differ-ential rule. The team saw some solid hitting by Alana Dalziel, Milly Cairns, Mackenzie Val-gardson, Mykayla Day, Jillian Lawes and Kylie Antrobus.
Peninsula, which plays out of Rotary Park in North Saanich, will represent the Capi-tal Region at the Provin-cials in Kamloops, July 3 to 5. — Submitted

Diggin’ in the dirtSteven Heywood/News staff
Site preparation is under way on 3rd Street in Sidney, as an excavator loads dump trucks at the site of Marker Group’s Meridian Residences. Right across the street is the parking area where a proposed multi-story affordable apartment complex is being considered.
Moving can be a real head-ache. For one, it requires a lot of planning: finding
a mover, sorting your personal belongings and coordinating the timing of the move. Then, there is the constant worry of whether your belongings are safe as they get packed away, loaded up and moved to your new home.
A lot can go wrong, but by fol-lowing simple tips, you can mini-mize the worry.
• Choose your mover wisely. Choosing a mover based on price alone is a big mistake. You want someone you can trust with all of your personal belong-ings. Be diligent: ask around for recommendations from friends or family and look for accredi-tation with the Better Business Bureau.
• Sort out your insurance needs. James Hall, an insurance expert with Western Financial Group, suggests you contact your broker at least a couple of weeks in advance to discuss
your insurance needs. Contact-ing your broker ahead of time will ensure your items are pro-tected during transport and that you have coverage in place for your new home the moment you take possession.
A broker can identify whether your existing policy covers the contents of your home while they are in transit or if you should consider purchasing additional insurance from the moving company.
“Just remember that not all moving companies offer insur-ance with full replacement pro-tection,” Hall says. “That means you will only get a certain per-centage of the value of your pos-sessions should they be dam-aged during the move.”
• Start packing early. Getting organized ahead of time will save you a lot of hassle come moving day. If you decide to pack boxes yourself, start with items that you don’t often use. It’s also a good idea to build an inventory of boxes and other loose items or furniture to make sure that everything trans-ported by the mover arrives. Once boxes are full, be sure to label the outside with its con-tents, indicate whether they are
fragile and write which room the box should be placed in at the new location.
• Make arrangements at the new home. Depending on the type of residence you are mov-ing to, you may need to arrange parking for the moving truck. If you are moving to an apart-ment, notify your landlord of the expected arrival time of the moving truck and book the ele-vator in the apartment building.
• Keep valuables close. Fam-ily heirlooms, important docu-ments, jewelry, laptop comput-ers and other expensive items should stay under your watchful eye. Rather than packing them into a box with other contents, keep them with you in the vehi-cle you will be travelling in.
• Double check all spaces. Once the moving truck is ready to roll, do a thorough walk-through of your old residence to ensure nothing has been missed. Check drawers, closets, crawl spaces and any other concealed spaces.
For details on insuring prop-erty for an upcoming move, con-tact your local insurance broker.
