More than two decades since it was started, the dainty crochet cotton medallions awaited a home where someone could complete its mission in life.

“I thought it was a very positive and good meeting,” said Murray Coell, MLA for Saanich North and the Islands. “I think they’re going to get some good feedback on what the municipality and the province can do to help in the future. ” It was promising to see the cross-section of business owners, landlords, employers and even a couple of residents and representatives from the Peninsula Chamber of Commerce, said Coun. Carl Jensen.

The question of a business case for Keating access from Highway 17 – an ongoing part of the revitalization discussion – was a chicken-and-egg conversation. “Some are of the belief that we need to grow the business park, because then we’re going to create the congestion and catch the province’s awareness,” Jensen said. “I think there’s a compelling business case right now for the overpass for the safety of the people that are already out there. “What that will then do is help with some of the broadening of the business we bring to Keating.”

The goal was to create a focus type group that could back the district, and vice versa, to help create a vibrant business core. The meeting provided plenty of business folk who showed interest. “Now we’re looking to cut the group down to a working group,” Jensen said. “One of the things we want to do, and Mayor [Alastair] Bryson stressed, we want them involved because they’re going to help us shape the solution. We had the experts in the room. … This is their livelihood, these people are good at it.” The next step is creating a group with a goal of envisioning Keating in 2020 or 2030.

Carl Jensen “We believe that the vision is there, but what we want to do is look at how we can better communicate that to the residents and the business community,” Jensen said. “We need to market ourselves, identify what makes Central Saanich a great place to work. It’s a focus for this council.” reporter@peninsulanews review.com

Three lives

woven together It took 25 years, a theft and a thrift store to reunite a woman with the crocheted tablecloth she was never able to complete for her daughter. Story and photography by Christine van Reeuwyk

J Top: Dorothy Meakes works on her long-lost tablecloth. The started project was taken when her car was broken into and resurfaced at a thrift store a quarter-century later. Above: Dorothy Meakes and her Sidney sister-in-law Gladys Curry marvel at the good condition of the work that’s been missing for about 25 years.

OUR VIEW

Research lab should stay alive Today, May 16, a United Nations right-to-food expert leaves Canada after an 11 day visit to analyze what some watchdogs have called “a broken food system” within our country. Food production and safety are undoubtedly pillars of a healthy lifestyle in Canada. It takes hard work to ensure we know where our food comes from, what’s in it and how it will affect our bodies. Inspectors are the link that help the distribution of this information to consumers. They are responsible for making sure what’s on the label of our food is the same as what is contained in the food itself. Sometimes, things go awry. Remember the contaminated spinach debacle of 2009? The listeriosis outbreak in processed meats of 2008? The federal government plans to axe jobs at the Centre for Plant Health, located in North Saanich as part of a budget-cutting measure (see page A5). The idea is to phase out the entire operation and consolidate operations at a lab in Summerland. Our MP Elizabeth May doesn’t believe just 12 jobs will be affected, as stated by the feds. With contract and other positions factored in, it could be closer to 35. We as consumers and residents of the Peninsula could lose in two ways. With 100 inspector jobs being cut nationwide, there are far fewer eyes watching what goes into our food. We also worry about losing these skilled workers if these positions are eliminated. Greater Victoria is known as a hub for science and technology, which has economic benefits for the population. Whether it’s 12 or 35 jobs going under the guillotine, we should be concerned about the decisions being made at the federal level which could negatively affect us locally. Like the News Review, the Centre for Plant Health celebrates its 100th birthday this year. We’d rather see it celebrate another 100 than see the lights go out at our food research laboratory.

government completed the “gross error” of building a new terminal at Duke Point, near Nanaimo. This run was to take truck and other traffic from congested Horseshoe Bay to the midIsland from Tsawwassen. An alternative route from Richmond to Gabriola Island, with bridges to Vancouver Island, had been quietly scuttled after the W.A.C. Bennett government was defeated by the NDP’s Dave Barrett in 1972. On a map, it’s clear this would have been the shortest route. Harvey says it would have cut travel time by half, and likely replaced the congested Horseshoe Bay dock. But Barrett would have had to tell his Nanaimo ferry union supporters that they were losing half their work hours. Tsawwassen to Duke Point is 65 km, compared to 54 km from Horseshoe Bay to Departure Bay. A ferry worker’s shift includes two round trips and loading time. On the Duke Point run this meant at least eight and a half hours, “thus ensuring the crew at least one hour at double time daily and often more,” Harvey writes. “Later it became a scheduled overtime route.” Something to keep in mind as Adrian Dix and his crew of union bosses prepare to take the helm.

It’s just too fine a day to complain I have no complaint today, not with the SBA, teachers, governments or my aching back. I read the Review this morning then headed out to my garden where I watched wall lizards hunt for their breakfast. One tenacious critter was trying to climb the side of a round bottom flower pot, but was unable to

hang on in a dozen attempts. I wondered how clever this animal was, so placed a wooden stake as an access ramp. After three more failed attempts to climb the pot’s side, it found my ramp and was into the pot in a jiffy. We have had wall lizards in our yard for perhaps 10 years now. I understand they have spread since being released

from a little zoo near Durrance Lake in the 1970s. We used to have pill bugs in abundance in our garden, but hardly see one now. As a result, our seedlings are faring much better. It’s just too fine a day to complain about anything, don’t you think? Frank Whitney Brentwood Bay

Readers respond: sister cities, food security Partnerships benefit this community Re: Sister cities partnerships costly endeavours – except one (Letters, May 11) Ms. Dear, through her letter, has provided a wonderful opportunity for the Sidney Sister Cities Association to further inform the residents of Sidney and the Peninsula of our activities at no cost. Tomorrow, May 17, commencing at 6:30 p.m., our monthly general meeting will be held at the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre and the centre’s director, Angus Matthews, will be our guest speaker. The meeting will provide a wonderful opportunity for Ms. Dear and the public in general, not only to visit the centre and enjoy its unrivalled attractions but also to learn just why the SSCA members so enjoy contributing, through our sister city partnerships, to life in Sidney and on the Peninsula. Understanding why Sidney town council and the citizens of Sidney and nearby area – since 1984 when Sidney was sistered with Cairns, Australia; since 1996 when Sidney was sistered with Anacortes; and since 2008 when Sidney was sistered with Niimi, Japan – have strongly supported SSCA activities at very little cost, would clarify why the SSCA through its support of such Sidney and Peninsula incentives as the Town of Sidney calendar, various art

and artist exchanges, student exchange visits, retention of the Sidney-Anacortes ferry route, and the Sidney and Anacortes summer and Christmas parades, joins so enthusiastically with many other volunteer community organizations and ventures to attract visitors and businesses to the area. A huge burden? Thankfully, to our knowledge, Ms. Dear’s letter to the editor in no way represents the views of this wonderful, welcoming and hugely supportive community. Bob McLure president, Sidney Sister Cities Association

communities, do not have access to nutritious food and clean water, the UN felt the need to investigate. This is a stunning indictment of the failure of Stephen Harper’s Conservatives on food security. Food security has not been a priority of this government. And it shows. Not only is Canada the only nation in the developed world without a national food strategy, the Harper Conservatives are now making deep cuts to food inspection and food

safety. Without leadership from the top, there will come a time when Canadians can’t trust the food that’s in grocery store shelves. Right now, too many Canadians are going hungry because they do not have access to healthy, affordable food. This is an international embarrassment for Canada. It is our national shame. And it will be Stephen Harper’s legacy if he continues to ignore it. Lise St-Denis, MP Liberal Party of Canada

Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

Double Vision The sudden onset of double vision is a frightening experience. Double vision occurs when the two eyes don’t point at the same object. Each eye sends an image to the brain which attempts to superimpose the two images. When this works we have depth perception, when it doesn’t we have “diplopia” or double vision. Some people experience occasional diplopia when they are tired or taking certain medications. This occurs because the central control of the muscles used to align the eyes is compromised. This condition, while a nuisance, disappears when the cause is remedied. Sometimes diplopia occurs for no apparent reason. Possible causes include a stroke, a tumor, diabetes or multiple sclerosis. It is important to have a medical evaluation to ensure nothing untoward has occurred. Often normal vision returns gradually. Spectacles with prism can be helpful in aligning the images until the diplopia has resolved or stabilized. If you suffer from double vision, be sure to have a thorough examination by an optometrist regularly.

Cycle to Protect Our Coast will spend four days spinning from Campbell River to Victoria over the May long weekend and end on the legislature lawn. “We love to cycle, but we also want to build some information about the whole pipeline and tanker issue,” said organizer Sheri Farinha. They’ll stop in Central Saanich Monday, May 21. Along the way CPOC members will chat with interested residents about the economic and ecological dangers of the oil tankers associated with both the Northern Gateway pipeline and Kinder Morgan expansion proposals. “When you love something, you stand up for it,” said Farinha. “We care about our area and we want to prevent super-sized tanker spills of bitumen and condensate … from washing up on Canada’s most productive coastline.” Along the way they’ll have a petition to sign, writ-

ten information and offer “five salient points” for those seeking more information. Farinha is also wracking her brain to come up with a demonstration to show how long a tanker is. “I want folks to understand how far 350 metres is because that’s how big tankers are. It is a huge distance, these are ships that have no chance of stopping in a mile or turning. “It’s inevitable, we’re going to have an oil spill here,” she said. CPOC will roll into Centennial Park just before noon Monday, when Elizabeth May, MP for SaanichGulf Islands is set to speak. “British Columbian voices need to be heard. The federal government can’t just assume that this is in the national interest or in British Columbia’s interest,” May said of the pipeline issue. “Cyclists are welcome to join us in riding the 22 kilometres to the Victoria legislature, where we will have a community discussion about protecting our coasts and hand over the petitions gathered along the tour,” Farinha said.

Victoria’s Red Barn Markets are brimming with all things local and delicious this spring. From farm-fresh asparagus to tart and tangy rhubarb, the flavours of the Capital Region are providing plenty of culinary inspiration, not to mention support for local farmers, notes the Red Barn Markets’ Russ Benwell. Looking ahead, sunnier days bring the promise of berry y season, salad fixings and soon enough, sweet yellow corn. “We’re small enough to support the individual farmers that are local to each of our stores,” Benwell explains. “And we’re quick to react to customers’ rs’ requests and the commu-Red Barn Markets’ nity’s needs.” Russ Benwell Of course, produce isn’tt checks out the local the only department high-asparagus at the lighting local goodness. West Saanich Road House-made bacon and sausages – not location. to mention an amazing smoked cheddar – from the smokehouse at Red Barn’s Vanalman location is supplied to each of the stores three times a week. The four stores – the flagship store on West Saanich Road, Mattick’s Farm, Vanalman and most recently Latoria Walk – range from about 1,500-square-feet to 6,000 square feet, all small and intimate. “We have a cosy, welcoming feeling and we pride ourselves on the customer service we provide. Staff know customers by name and we offer a great spot to have a coffee or sit down with a sandwich from the deli.” This emphasis on local is a key component to the Red Barn philosophy, and has been since the founding partners launched the company. That philosophy extends to Red Barn’s support form the community that supports them. “It was instilled in us that it’s important to give back to the community and to have that two-way relationship with customers and staff,” whether that means cooking at a community barbecue, manning a refreshment station for Bike to Work Week, or providing in-kind donations, Benwell explains. “While we’re smaller than some stores, we still want to have a big impact on the community – being involved and giving back.” Red Barn has also forged a relationship with the celiac community and has the city’s widest selection of gluten-free and gluten-friendly items, from delicious baking to grocery items. In the meat department, house-made sausages and other products are identified with special tags as gluten-free or glutenfriendly. “We’ve really developed quite a following with the celiac community,” Benwell says. “We want to be a store that suits everybody’s lifestyle,” he explains. “There’s so many health concerns out there, people are starting to get away from the wheat products.” Specialty products, however, do not mean specialty pricing; the success Red Barn enjoys with customers comes in striking the balance between quality and value. “We pay close attention to the quality we’re providing in the four stores. We want to have value to match the price.” Coming up, customers will want to keep an eye out for Red Barn’s soon-to-be relaunched website, with a sign-up form to receive the e-flyer, along with information about coming events, promotions and recipes, plus links to the grocer’s social media components – an easy way to find out what’s in store!

Where Community & Quality Meet The Queen (a.k.a. Carolyn Sadowska) entertains a crowd of 87 at the Brentwood Bay Resort and Spa Thursday, with foundation board president Lorne Jack and chief of staff Ambrose Marsh on stage. The event was a thank you to donors to the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation.

Royalty gets chuckle at donor thank you The Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation got some good news at a thank you event it hosted Thursday. At its donor appreciation lunch, at the Brentwood Bay Resort and Spa, the foundation learned that Betty and Wally Spence, both deceased, left $1.5 million to the non-profit. Wally was the founding president of the organization and Betty volunteered with the group for several years until her death last year. In addition, Brentwood Bay Resort announced a $10,000 donation to the foundation. About 87 people attended the event and heard entertainment by Her Majesty the Queen – not the real queen, but impersonator Carolyn Sadowska, who had the group laughing with jokes and stunts. The hospital foundation hopes to raise $1 million for its latest campaign and is currently at $920,000. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

When you read this I’ll be in Cedar (God willing) visiting my brother and searching his garden for ideas to pass on to you. In the meantime, here at home, what can I tell you that is new and fascinating? Not much I fear, but let’s see what we can come up with. I have spent some time this morning watering, both inside and on the balcony. My daughter will be here in my absence. She isn’t much of a gardener, but I’ll leave her a note and probably phone at least once to make sure she is OK (and to ask if she has watered). I had hoped the pole beans would be up, but not a sign of life in that container, which causes me concern as they had large roots started and should have made an appearance by now. However, I realize I am often impatient and if I would just be more trusting, things would appear exactly when they should, not when I expect. It is

so wonderful to have leaves appear when you have put in a small brown lump and, lo and behold, here comes a nice sturdy plant. I’m to be away for a week and by that time they will either have shown up, or I’ll have to re-plant and should have beans by Christmas. One of the greatest gardeners I have known was an elderly man who never planted anything until May 24. His garden was always a marvel. So, you people who haven’t got around to planting anything can relax. There doesn’t seem to be any rush. I know it’s fun to be the first to have new potatoes, but it isn’t a race. Yours will taste marvellous even if your neighbour has already been boasting about his super early ones. They are probably riddled with wire worms. I think this is what is meant by “sour grapes.” The nights are still pretty cool, so I think

NEWS REVIEW

I’d wait for a bit longer before planting (out in the vegetable plot) things like started tomato plants and squash. How about making up a pot or two, or a couple of hanging baskets instead? I know not everyone likes marigolds, but they look like sunshine in a pot, especially if surrounded by yellow pansies, which smell so nice. Some white bocoppa to trail over the pot edge would be a happy choice, or maybe some trailing blue lobelia. We will soon need a bigger pot if I keep adding things I like, and there are hundreds of choices, so get yourself to a nursery and have a wonderful time. Just remember everything you purchase has to be planted, so please take it easy on both your aching back and your shrinking pocket book. Helen Lang has been the Peninsula News Review’s garden columnist for more than 25 years.

SIDNEY CENTRE FAMILY DENTISTRY

THE ARTS White hosts bluesman Fresh off a Junofest performance and Juno nomination, Saanichton bluesman Bill Johnson will perform this weekend. Thanks to an older brother’s music collection, the blues rang through Johnson’s childhood. While other kids read comics, Chuck Berry was his Superman. By the age of 15 he began a career as a professional guitarist studying and gigging in smoky bars. Eventually superb bluesmen such as Donald Ray Johnson took notice and began to use Johnson on their recordings. Artists including the legendary Hubert Sumlin, Chess Record’s Cash McCall and Alligator Records’ Son Seals, began to call on him when they needed a guitar player. Johnson’s most recent CD, Still Blue, was nominated for three Maple Blues Awards, a Western Canadian Music Award and a Juno. The Juno for best blues recording went to MonkeyJunk for “To Behold.” Get a taste of the music, and Still Blue, online at billjohnson

Tips from a trainer

Trainer Michelle Bourgeois points out a couple of variables that contribute to good health: • Exercise consistently. Your heart and lungs get stronger from cardiovascular training. Strength training increases muscle mass, which gives you a stronger body which is less likely to be injured. • Drink water. Your skin, kidneys, and brain thank you for this because they are really affected by insufficient water intake.

SCRAP CAR REMOVAL

Give them power. Give them confidence. Give them control.

GIVE THEM A PAPER ROUTE! A paper route is about so much more than money.

These days kids want and need so many things. With a paper route they not only earn the money to buy those things, they also gain a new respect for themselves. They discover a new sense of confidence, power and control by having their very own job, making their own money and paying for their own games, phones and time with friends. All it takes is an hour or so after school Wednesday and Friday. And even better... there are no collections required.

SCRAP BATTERIES Wanted We buy scrap batteries from cars, trucks & heavy equip. $4.00 & up each. Free pick-up anywhere in BC, Minimum 10. Toll Free 1.877.334.2288.

Canadians are living longer and costs for the Old Age Security (OAS) are rising. On April 1, 2023 the Government of Canada plans to start raising the age of eligibility for OAS and the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) from 65 to 67.*

What does this mean for you? 54 or older as of March 31, 2012

You may still obtain OAS/GIS at age 65

53 or younger as of March 31, 2012

The age of eligibility for OAS/GIS will change gradually between 2023 and 2029

Starting in July 2013, Canadians who are eligible for, but not yet receiving OAS will have the flexibility to delay receiving it in exchange for a higher monthly amount at a later date.

The number of working-age Canadians for every senior is decreasing** 6 5

The number of working-age Canadians per senior is decreasing, placing additional pressure on the OAS program.
