SBA yanked from Sidney summer market Christine van Reeuwyk and Erin Cardone News staff
The Town of Sidney is looking for someone else to run the popular Thursday night market. The town announced Wednesday that it immediately terminated its agreement with the Sidney Business Association to operate the annual market that fills Beacon Avenue each summer. “We’re terminating it because we’ve lost confidence that they can deliver a market effectively.
And we have a whole series of reasons why,” said Mayor Larry Cross. “The town is not honouring the contract,” countered SBA president Edward Connor. He said the town must give the SBA six months notice to terminate the licence agreement signed in August. “That’s fine, if they don’t like it give us the notice. If they get away with this, it’s just bizarre.” Earlier this year, the Town of Sidney, approached by a group of downtown merchants, opted to look at the configuration and
“That’s fine, if they don’t like it give us notice. If they get away with this, it’s just bizarre.” – Edward Connor makeup of the annual street market that enters its 13th year this year. The plan was to have stakeholders, the SBA, the town, merchants and vendors come together to discuss any changes that could happen to make the market more attractive and include local businesses. “We’ve been involved in the
mediation process for a while,” Cross said. At a March 23 meeting of the stakeholders involved, a plan was developed, he added. “We left that meeting on the 23rd and assumed we were getting there.” A week later he was disappointed in the process when the SBA presented a resolution to council.
“This resolution came forward to council … saying that they would go along with the agreement as far as reasonably possible.” Cross describes those “reasonably possible” changes as minimal over last year, with only a couple of extra access points. The resolution also included a sentence, later stated to be in error that “they would move the market unless council agreed.” PLEASE SEE: SBA considers moving market, Page A11

Director retires after 30 years Income tax deadline looms
Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
Heather Switak lives just blocks from where she was born – the former site of Resthaven Hospital. Coming full circle, she worked the last three decades of her career not far off, at Rest Haven Lodge. The director of care started at the Seventh-day Adventist-run facility on April 1, 1982, three months before construction completed on the Sidney site. March 30 was her last day at work, and after some holiday time, she officially retires June 1. “That first three months was pretty hectic,” Switak said. She’d been nursing in the U.S. for 13 years before coming home to run Rest Haven. Those three months prior to opening were filled with paperwork, policy making, devising schedules, hiring staff and interviewing potential clients. “Her whole nursing philosophy about looking after the whole person,” stood out, said Myrna Fox, who worked with Switak for a dozen years. “There’s a real emphasis on the spiritual part of it, even though times have changed. … It still has that basic Christian outlook on life.” Activities like music therapy are symptoms of her nursing philosophy. “[It’s] knowing that other “We’re not going to things add to a person’s life. be able to heal everyone She’s a wonderful advocate way,” Fox said. physically but we can that It also includes creating individual care plans aim for wholeness; each of three areas and if not physically then in simply “treating people the emotionally, socially, way we would like to be treated,” Switak said. spiritually.” “The mission of Rest – Heather Switak Haven Lodge and of the Adventist church is to carry on the healing ministry of Christ,” she added. “We’re not going to be able to heal everyone physically but we can aim for wholeness; if not physically then emotionally, socially, spiritually.” There was one substantial change over the three decades she led the care team at Rest Haven. About eight years ago the Sidney facility shifted to complex care. “The transition was not difficult at first,” Switak said. “It became more difficult as time passed. The routine care we were giving had to evolve into a much deeper level of care.” And again she found herself developing policies and procedures. “She was always calm even when there was a lot of change going on,” said Fox. “Even when things were chaotic … she would just smile this wonderful smile and you would never know what was going on.” reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

The April 30 deadline for filing income taxes is still a few days away, yet the Canada Revenue Agency is already crunching the numbers on who filed and how. As of April 19, more than 13 million Canadians had filed their returns. Almost half hired someone to do so using the Internet. A quarter filed their own on the Net and just less than a quarter, 23.5 per cent, used the old-fashioned method, Canada Post. CRA goes after individuals who don’t file income tax returns. Five people were convicted in B.C. last year for failing to file. In addition to fines, those convicted must still file returns and pay the full amount of taxes owing, if any, plus interest. If you’re overwhelmed at the prospect of sifting through receipts, University of Victoria educational psychologist Allyson Hadwin has some tips, such as breaking up the task. One day create a CRA online account, she says on her Facebook page called Learning Strategies for University Success. The next day, before dinner, fill in the T4 information. Later that evening add your T4A information. When you’re done, Hadwin says, reward yourself. That could be planning what to do with your refund. As of April 19, more than half of those who filed their returns will receive refunds. The average refund amount to date is $1,541.87. vmoreau@oakbaynews.com
Heather Switak, director of care for 30 years at Rest Haven Lodge, retires officially this June. She started at the Sidney care facility April 1, 1982.
Correction
Longevity not uncommon at Rest Haven Staffing at Rest Haven Lodge doesn’t see significant turnover. “One of the things I’ve appreciated is the longevity of staff,” said Heather Switak. While she retires after 30 years at the care facility, it’s not unusual for staff to stay 20 or 25 years. Many retire their careers there. In the three decades, Switak has only worked with three administrators and two receptionists.

Trades program sees success Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
While a crew builds, paints and hammers its way through the month of May, they’re building their future with the Trade Awareness, Skills and Knowledge program – one that’s been recognized as innovative in Canada. The Peninsula-developed program earned an innovation award from the Ashoka Changemakers and the Counselling Foundation of Canada, and Canadian Education and Research Institute for Counselling. Saanich school district career counsellor Wendy Walker, and Stu Rhodes, the career counsellor and apprenticeship coordinator for the school district crafted the Trade Awareness, Skills and Knowledge program that launched earlier this year. Last week in Gatineau, Que. the pair was honoured at a summit after TASK earned a national honour for work with aboriginal students. “Our program was selected from 266 applicants who submitted. We were selected in innovation in career and workplace education programs,� said Walker. It fits right in with the endeavours in education – personalized learning. “It really affirms that what we’re doing is moving in the right direction,� Rhodes said. “This s a real hallmark program in terms of personalized learning. It really meets them at their level and brings them up. It recognizes that different style of delivery.� TASK is a trade awareness program that introduced 19 nongraduated, mostly First Nation students to seven different construction trade disciplines giv-

It is bringing hope and inspiration to an entire community,â€? Rhodes said. “We’re building self esteem for young people. It’s self pride, they’re showing pride every day showing up. For that I’m proud of them,â€? said Pauquachin chief Bruce Underwood. The Pauquachin partnership is among the key components of the program. “It’s not something we were striving for, the accolades. ‌ I think it’s well deserved, but I don’t think it’s something we thought about at the beginning,â€? said Underwood. “It has had an impact. It’s affecting 19 different families. I’m excited for them and I’m proud of them.â€? Waker and Rhodes expected a 50 per cent attrition rate in the
The end is near for students
As the class portion of the TASK program prepares to wind down at the end of May, progress is evident in the program. “For those people in the program they just show up every day and try their best. They’re just doing what they know to do,� said Pauquachin chief Bruce Underwood. “Some of them are looking at career opportunities. They’re not just jobs. They’re going to take them into retirement.�
program. “We’ve had to remove one student for attendance issues, and we’ve had one student leave because he got full time employment in his trade,â€? Walker said. That, Rhodes added, is the first indicator of a successful program. “If the students are showing up we can take them forward,â€? he said. “The fact that students are showing up regularly speaks volumes to what they think about the program. So they find it valuable.â€? The Pauquachin community too appears to see the value in their partnership that includes hosting class work in its West Saanich Road hall. “The community members have been popping their heads in. ‌ It’s having such a positive impact right within their community,â€? Walker said. “Pauquachin has been really, really good about sharing their space.â€? Those community connections, funding and trades businesses willing to support the trainees, are critical to the program. Rhodes expects they’ll be able to find all those pieces for another round of training. “The program is going to run again, we’re just not sure the exact start date,â€? Rhodes said. “Everybody’s rallying around it, but we have to pull the pieces together again and say go.â€? reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Juno Awards bid an easy decision You have to wonder if the ongoing attempt to bring the Juno Awards to Greater Victoria would have a better chance of success if our city wasn’t split into 13 separate jurisdictions. The committee behind the Juno pitch is making the rounds at regional council meetings, trying to drum up $450,000 from local governments by Monday. The pitch is pretty simple and should be easy enough for individual councils to decide to support. Essentially what it boils down to is organizers asking for $1 for every citizen living in the region. Unfortunately, in an example of too many cooks potentially spoiling the broth, the simple concept is being “tweaked” by councils that want to add their own twist before supporting the bid. For the most part, it seems, the region’s cities, towns and districts think hosting the musical showcase is a good idea. Saanich has agreed to cough up $100,000 – about $10,000 less than it should based on population – on condition the Victoria bid is accepted. Esquimalt stepped up and will chip in slightly more than the funding formula suggests. On the West Shore, Colwood has promised to meet the funding formula but other municipalities have retained their right to make up their minds later, even if later is too late. To match the “$1 per capita” needed, the West Shore would have to pony up about $61,000 total. The Capital Region Music Awards Society is also close to securing $1.5 million from the province, which has apparently said it’s willing to play along if the municipalities come up with their share. It really shouldn’t be this hard. If you don’t support the bid, say so. But if you’re agreeable then get on board and ante up. And that should be a given, considering the Junos had an estimated economic benefit of $12.8 million and created 262 full-time jobs when the awards were held in St. John’s in 2010. Sure, the actual awards show will be televised from Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre in Victoria, but the week-long festivities would be spread around the Capital region and be a boon to local acts. Besides, the entire region benefits from the quality and quantity of hotels and attractions available to us in the region’s downtown. We’re told Winnipeg and Calgary may also be submitting bids and, if they support a bid, it’s unlikely to be nickle-and-dimed as it has been in Greater Victoria. What do you think?

Either way, those 40-plus MLAs were right to not initially back Clark. (If only Bloy wasn’t so darn influential among party members!) For the sake of politicking, the position the Liberals are in now leaves them few options: keep their leader, lose seats and the election in 2013 (and put the blame for that loss on anyone who votes Conservative); or ditch their leader and start anew. For appearances’ sake, I’d suggest the latter. If the Liberals take cues from genuine public opinion, they’ll know Clark does not now have the support to win in 2013. Is waiting it out another 12 months to see if that changes worth losing an election? I don’t think so. If Clark wants her party to succeed after her time as premier is up, she should take her cues from what Kevin Falcon said when he launched his leadership campaign: “Listen to people. Learn from them. … And lead decisively.” If you’re not genuinely working by all three of those rules – for the sake of your province, for the sake of your party – it’s time to reflect on the opportunities lost by not living in some alternate timeline where you’re not premier.

LETTERS Evolution vs. creation: the conversation continues Evidence for infinite alternatives lacking
Re: Evolution happens naturally, regardless of where faith lies (Letters online, April 20) I’m with Ruth Magnusson (Letters online, April 13). I think to accept evolution as a sufficient explanation for life as we know it requires a lot of faith. John Taylor’s letter disputing that contains its own contradiction. He talks about the animal breeders who developed different types of domestic animals and who inspired Darwin’s famous theory. But Taylor’s example obviously requires very intentional and rational breeders. Darwin’s theory, however, depends on countless tiny, random variations turning out many higher orders of living beings purely by chance. Precisely because the odds
– as calculated by various mathematicians – are so staggeringly against the present orderliness evolving in this way, some proponents of the godless explanation for life have resorted to the science fiction story line of an infinite number of universes to improve those odds. If there were such an infinity of universes, surely on one of them, or so goes the theory, life could have evolved in such an unlikely way. Evidence for this infinity of alternatives is completely lacking, of course: that is why we say faith is involved in the evolutionary theory. Even more faith is required when you realize that Darwin’s theory, like Darwin himself, is ultimately the product of random chance variations, at least according to the theory. On the other hand, according
to Magnusson’s theory, God created Darwin in His own likeness – with reason. And He created all life likewise in a rational, ordered and loving way, which is true meaning of the Genesis account of Creation – a way that easily includes evolution. Steve Weatherbe Victoria
Evolution letter missed the point I happen to tend towards believing in the theory of evolution, even though there is much we do not yet know. But I think John Taylor (Letters online, April 20) missed the point of Ms. Magnusson’s letter (Letters online, April 13). He gives dogs as an example of how evolution works – that one kind of dog can be bred to have
certain characteristics. Taylor imposes preconceptions upon this fact because he believes in the theory of evolution, but this does not prove anything about the origin of species. That evolution occurs within species was not rejected in Ms. Magnusson’s letter. The point of her letter was that evolution cannot account for the origin of the species. But enough on a subject that is in its infancy and about which we still have so much to learn, or reject. Believing in the theory of evolution does not make it so; it could be called faith. Joan Davis Victoria

Support for premier dubious at best Kevin Falcon and George Abbott have cast doubt on whether they will run in the 2013
provincial election, despite the fact both ran to become premier in last year’s Liberal leadership race. Would either have had such thoughts if they had won? In the old West, heroes would rush to the defence of a lady in distress. But in the B.C. Liberal corral, the two biggest cowpokes – Falcon and Abbott – appear to be riding into the sunset and leaving Christy Clark tied to the B.C. Rail tracks. Both men claim to support the premier. They support her like a rope supports a hanging person. Ron Faris Saanich

online, April 13) This letter writer demonstrates that there is no mind more closed than that of the person who cannot accept plain evidence well documented and tested. Why can persons of faith not accept that their God may have set up a system of rules that He knew would create our world over time? The fallacies and egregious and misleading untruths her letter contains are plain evidence of her blindness to tested facts that explain our world and its development over aeons. Indeed she attempts to turn the discussion on its head with her statement that science requires faith. No, it requires facts. So-called creation science is just religious preaching that goes well beyond factual reality. James Humphries Saanich

Pennies feed food bank Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
s
What h is i iitt about b this hi seaside town that draws everyone eryone here?
The penny pinch is a concern for the Sidney Lions Food Bank. Next fall, Canada joins the U.K. and Australia in dropping the coin from production. “Pennies turn into food for us,� said Bev Elder, administrator for the Sidney Lions Food Bank. “What’s hanging around in people’s houses can really, really help us. It’s a waste of space for some people, but it’s a perfect donation for us.� She figures a couple thousand rolls of pennies pass through her fingertips, and those of the volunteers who help roll, in a year. Pesos, pence and pebbles are not uncommon among the pennies. “We have had a buffalo head nickel once that was worth $5,� Elder said. But weeding through the barrels of coins is worth the effort. Last week she rolled $25 worth donated in two big mason jars. The last few weeks one woman returned repeatedly while cleaning out her late dad’s home – dropping off tub after

Beverley Elder, administrator for the Sidney Lions Food Bank shows off thousands of pennies donated to the food bank. She is concerned that the loss of the penny may have an effect on the amount of donations to the food bank. tub of pennies she discovered. “It is a constant donation, where we get a margarine tub or coffee can full,â€? Elder said. “Pennies are our biggest loose donation ‌ and we can double that [with purchasing power].â€? Elder hopes people will consider donating them to the food bank one last time.

â– A penny costs 1.6 cents to produce and buys only a twelfth of what it once did.
“We rely on pennies,� she said, fearing what may happen after the fall, when the penny heads out of production as announced in the federal budget last month. Donations can be made at 9586 Fifth St. or online at www. sidneyfoodbank.com. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

The popular Thursday night market on Beacon Avenue draws 3,000 to 5,000 visitors each week to Sidney streets, according to the business association that founded the event.
SBA considers moving market Continued from Page A1
“Council was upset, I was upset,” Cross said. Among other concerns, there’s the outstanding $7,000 owed to the Town of Sidney – about half the annual fees for services. “In the end we felt that’s it. We cannot have confidence in this organization,” Cross said. Connor said the SBA twice
asked for an itemized list of what was owed to the town after last year’s market and will pay when the list is delivered. The SBA has run the market since its inception nearly 13 years ago. “We’re going to have to move it somewhere else. Some other area, some other municipality,” Connor said. “It could be the end of us if
this doesn’t go. We’re getting legal advice, but it might be difficult because we don’t have a lot of money. … Maybe there’s something underlying where they want the SBA gone.” The town plans to issue a request for proposals for management and operation of the 2012 summer market. reporter@peninsulanews review.com

SPORTS Peninsula wrestler earns bronze
Track dreams resume
Travis Paterson News staff
Danny Daniels Contributor
As Pen Track’s nine-year-old athletes ran their first official races on the Blue Heron track at Parkland school, word came that another runner, Cameron Levins of Black Creek, who began his career in these same Island meets, had just run the 5000m in 13 minutes 18.47 seconds, the second fastest time ever by a Canadian, gaining the A+ standard for entry into the London 2012 Olympics later this year. Of those nine-year-olds, two girls had results that they will remember for a long time. Julia Peterson was first in the 100m (18.72 seconds), high jump (85 cm), long jump (2.53 metres), as well as finishing second in both the 60m and 600m, and placing third in the 60m hurdles and the shot put. Anitia Truter outraced Peterson to win the 600m race in two minutes 27.13 seconds and took first in the 1000m (4:18.55). Truter also finished second in the 60m hurdles and third in the 60m sprint. The feature events of the meet are the George Dean 1200m races for midget, aged 14 and 15, boys and girls.

Pen Track’s Caelan MacEwan, 16, running the 110m hurdles for the first time, had a triumphant 17.77 performance, followed by additional first places in the 300m hurdles (66.22) and high jump (1.60m) and a second in the 400m (63.54). Jennifer Liu, 15, was a multiple winner in the high and long jumps as was Annina Lorenzo, 16, in the 800m and 3000m. Connor McCullough, 12, also celebrated double wins in the 200m and the hammer throw, while solo victories were recorded by Yannick Truter, 11, in the 1000m run, Ben Sammonds, 12, in the discus, Cameron Lorenzo, 13, in the 1500m race walk, Michael Giles, 15, in the 1200m and Spencer Gaby,

Brett Matthews’ surprise bronze medal at the National Wrestling Championships in Fredericton, P.E.I. put a solid finish on a good season. Matthews lost all three matches in the freestyle competition, slipping to seventh out of 15 in the 80 kilogram class. Nervousness got to him in the freestyle event, Matthews said. “If I’d have stuck to the game plan and had more patience I would have done better.” Not wanting to leave with nothing, Matthews entered the nationals’ Greco wrestling tournament. He lost his first match to the eventual gold medal winner, but
won his next two, earning a spot on the podium. “I had time to relax and I didn’t expect to do that well. I was just trying a different style of wrestling and seeing if I could do it. There was a lot of throws and I seemed to be good at it.” The Grade 12 student at Stelly’s finished as Island champion for his weight class and finished fourth in B.C. this year. Matthews got into the sport winning the district championship for three years as a Bayside student. “I’ll miss it, but hopefully in a couple years I can come back and help out as a coach.” Matthews travelled into Saanich to train with the Victoria Bulldogs. sports@peninsulanewsreview.com
16, who continued his string of victories in the 1500m race walk, posting a fast time of 7:44. Not to be outdone, the Pen Track Masters ran up multiple wins in their field event competitions. Les East (M70) led the parade with seven victories in the discus, shot, hammer, javelin, high jump, long jump and triple jump. Sandy Anderson (W70), and holder of many Canadian age group records, took first in discus, hammer, javelin, shot and high jump. Anne Murfitt (W50) also recorded five victories in her events, while the father and son team of Don (M60) and Phil (M90) Brodeur continued their winning ways in the discus (both), hammer (Don) and javelin and shot (Phil). Peggy Morfitt (W75) won her javelin event. Of the 281 athletes, 38 Pen Track competitors combined for 160 ribbons. sports@peninsulanewsreview.com

I remember about 20 years ago, at my first posting in Lloydminster, Sask. when mountain bike patrols started to be all the rage in policing. I have always been an avid mountain biker, and was excited to mesh my skills with my job duties. We used our own bikes and helmets, as we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any â&#x20AC;&#x153;policeâ&#x20AC;? bikes and
wore whatever was comfortable, usually not resembling much of a uniform. I even remember an unnamed supervisor who was, how should I say it, not in the best of shape, on bike patrol with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. On one of my first patrols I wiped out in some loose gravel, in front of large group of people,

receiving a loud round of applause. Oh how times have changed. Now, thankfully, you need a police mountain bike course in order to ride on patrol and uniforms are strictly enforced. The key message hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed, in that mountain bike patrols are a key part of community policing and a great way to interact with the public and respond to certain types of calls. Many of our officers and auxiliaries in Sidney are mountain bike trained and thanks to our municipalities, we have brand new, top of the line bikes for the them to ride. You will see them on your streets from time to time, especially during special events. Bike safety has always been one of our community policing initiatives and starting last year, we brought this message directly to local elementary schools. In the past, we did a community bike rodeo at a local recreation centre, inviting all local kids to attend, but after consultation with local principals, thought we would try something different. The new presentation sees kids get safety lectures on helmets, arm signals and types of traffic control devices, then they ride around a mock town set up on the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playground. They ride around parked cars negotiate stop
Cpl. Chris Swain Red Coat Corner signs, crosswalks and even railway tracks (although not commonly found on the Peninsula). All of this is monitored and coached by officers and Lions Club volunteers. Between the three elementary schools in our jurisdiction last year, we reached more than 750 primary students in this fashion, assisting them with safe riding in their communities. We are in the process of doing it again this year now that the nicer weather has arrived. Bikes have always been an important part of childhood and perceived independence at that age, thus we want to assist kids in any way we can to ride in as safe a manner as possible. That rule also applies to our officers in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s age of the Canada Labour Code. I probably could have used the course 20 years ago. Cpl. Chris Swain is a supervisor and the media liaison officer for Sidney North Saanich RCMP.

Watching hockey and eating peanut butter sandwiches are a part of Millie Longden-Hall’s new life with her second husband. A long and winding road brought together the 82-year-old and her husband, 91-year-old Barry Hall. It was the passion for choir singing with the Peninsula Singers that eventually brought them together. “I knew he was in the choir but I hadn’t really met him,” Millie said. She lived at The Peninsula in Sidney at the time, where Barry’s daughter works. The daughter suggested Millie introduce herself. “I hesitated to do that being a well brought up young lady,” Millie said. “When you’re in a choir with 65 people you don’t get a chance to know the people on the other side.” Millie sings soprano and Barry bass, so they’d not really met. In September 2006, Millie started thinking she ought to “pluck up the courage” and introduce herself. “Neither of us were looking at that time for a partner,” she explained. It was the year each had lost a spouse, Barry after 60 years of marriage and Millie after 57 years. But a friendship formed. Then she was turning him down for rides to choir rehearsals. “There again I said ‘no thank you’ several times, then I decided ‘hey why not,’” Millie said. “We took turns driving and it just grew from there. I went in for a cookie and a hot chocolate after practice one time and it just went from there.”

Millie Longden-Hall, 82, and Barry Hall, 91, met, fell in love, and will perform with the Peninsula Singers this weekend. By July of 2007 they were engaged and that October, they were married at The Peninsula with many family and friends attending. The Peninsula Singers, of course, celebrated the occasion as well during rehearsal break that October with a large cake, singing and many good wishes. “We love music and we love life and we decided to date,” she said. “Music is our basic grounding. It’s such a wonderful social occasion. It’s a lot of fun and a lot of challenge as well.” Millie and Barry have found one another after travelling a long distance, too. Millie is originally from Glasgow and Barry from Morden, Man. She has a son, a daughter and two granddaughters while Barry’s clan numbers 10 children, 33 grandchildren and 25 great grandchildren. “It’s been a wonderful experience this second marriage,” she said. “You have to be prepared
not to expect the same thing twice. You can’t keep to your old habits.” For Millie that means watching hockey and peanut butter sandwiches are now a part of her life. The couple are on the 60-member chorus in the Peninsula Singers’ spring concert, the Long and Winding Road this weekend. “I’ve always loved Beatles music. When I realized that song was going to be in the concert, slowly we began to relate to the fact that this has been a long journey to get to this point,” Millie said. The Long and Winding Road concerts take place April 27 and 28 at 7:30 p.m. and on April 29 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $11 for kids under 12 and $22 for adults, available at Mary Winspear box office, 2243 Beacon Ave. or at 250-656-0275.
