Two tragedies rock Peninsula Pair of accidental deaths last weekend were preventable Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
A man died after falling overboard in the waters off the Saanich Peninsula Sunday afternoon. The 55-year-old North Saanich man was knocked overboard as he and his wife were returning to harbour off Sidney on June 3. Emergency services were called to Tsehum Harbour around 2 p.m. “Occupants of a nearby boat managed to quickly get him out of the water, but he was now unresponsive,” said Cpl. Chris Swain of Sidney North Saanich RCMP. “Emergency services and bystanders worked hard to save the man, but he died at the scene.” The man was not wearing a personal flotation device. “Boaters and users of the water are reminded to use all safety equipment that is available to them, in order to prevent this type of tragedy from happening again,” Swain said. ■■■ A Sidney woman died after being hit by a camper van on Highway 17 late Saturday night. The woman was struck near the Weiler Avenue intersection with the highway around 11 p.m. “The driver of a 1987 Dodge camper van was travelling southbound on Highway 17 when the pedestrian ran out onto the highway and was struck by the van,” said Swain. “Emergency crews arrived and confirmed the woman was deceased on scene.” The driver and passenger in the vehicle were not injured. Traffic was rerouted for several hours. Police are not naming the 48-year-old Sidney woman at her family’s request. RCMP want to speak with anyone who witnessed the accident or saw the pedestrian prior to the crash. The coroner and an RCMP traffic analyst attended the collision and are assisting in the investigation. While the collision is still under investigation, no charges have been lain. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

festivities. Aidan Schlosser, 9 with Tucker Schaff, 10 and Owen Schlosser, 6, sporting debonaire moustaches. Murray Coell, MLA for Saanich North and the Islands, cruises by in a hot ride. White shades keep a drummer

Target store could open next year A Target store could soon land in Greater Victoria. The retailer plans to occupy the current Zellers space in Tillicum Shopping Centre at Saanich. The company’s goal is to open the Target store by April 2013. While Zellers’ final closing date is not yet confirmed, a spokesperson
for Target said the retail space will undergo six to nine months of renovations, at a cost of more than $10 million. In January 2011, a $1.8-billion deal was announced by the Hudson’s Bay Company to sell Zellers to the American retailer. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

A Peninsula man will appear in court again June 14 facing charges of breaching a court order. Earlier this year David Whiffin of Brentwood Bay was fined $7,500 after being convicted of cruelty to an animal for failing to provide enough food to a horse in 2009. He was also prohibited from owning any animals for five years. He is charged with breaching that order. Last December, Judge Sue Wishart found Whiffin and his co-accused, Clayton Cunningham, guilty of causing unnecessary pain and suffering to an animal, as well as improper care of feeding after an SPCA investigation into the death by hanging of Jalupae, a 27-year-old Appaloosa gelding.

More public input needed for CS densification study Council plans feedback session this month Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
June will provide another opportunity for the public to peruse a densification and intensification study in Central Saanich. The residential densification study aims to examine possible forms and density of infill development in different areas of the community while gauging residents’ support and concerns. The goal is to draft rec-
ommendations to guide council and municipal staff in decisions on rezoning applications while giving direction to residents and potential developers. The district will hold a second public input session, tentatively scheduled for June 21, council decided last week, after perusing the draft study presented by consultant Michele Cloghesy of HB Lanarc/Golder Associates. The early draft showed support for carriage housing, small lot cluster housing and keeping density like townhouses on major corridors, Cloghesy told council, and there was concern over character and massing on new builds. Council has spent about
$20,000 so far on the study. The second consultation session is budgeted at $3,400. Cloghesy noted that one area they didn’t get as much response as hoped in the February input session was a large diagram of the community that allows people to indicate where what kinds of infill would be appropriate. “We would put more attention on that part of the puzzle,” she said. The online survey, where input could remain anonymous, also drew a huge response in the first round of public input. Council opted to post the draft densification study online at www. centralsaanich.ca. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com
MP May hopes to quash federal budget bill Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
Elizabeth May has her fingers crossed the speaker of the house will withdraw the budget bill today. She made a pitch Monday to have the omnibus “budget” Bill C-38 scrapped. “With a great deal of luck, it’s going to take the speaker being brave, but in law I think my point of order is correct … it was not a stunt,” said May,
MP for Saanich Gulf Islands. “It’s a long shot, but it’s sound as an argument and I’ve certainly got my fingers crossed. After that if it doesn’t succeed we’re into the war of amendments.” She raised a point of order that “no bill may be introduced either in blank or imperfect state” and argued that C-38 is not properly an omnibus and should be set aside. “I think the speaker may rule Wednesday,” she said in a Monday afternoon phone interview. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Central Saanich school liaison officer Cpl. Pat Bryant will abstain from alcohol this month. “I was talking to a guy from the RCMP who’d been involved in schools for a number of years. He started this campaign in West Shore. I thought about it and I thought to support these guys and promote a safe grad, and remember their night,” Bryant said. Like many an officer, he can recall attending too many parties where police were required for safety reasons. One young girl who needed rescuing from a “wet” grad stands out. “Certain things happened that were pretty sad,” he said. “Her dad called at 2 a.m. to get her out [of the party]. “That experience came to mind right away. We’ve got to do something to promote dry grads. So let’s put the challenge out to
municipal employees.” He sent out an email suggesting others in public service, and grads’ parents, might consider stepping away from the booze for the month of June to support local grads sticking to the legal drinking age during celebratory events. “I like this idea because some of the grad celebrations I’ve been to in this line of work, I’ve seen a lot of kids just hammered and talked to them afterwards and they really didn’t have a good time,” he said. The Central Saanich officer has received some positive feedback from the community, but notably the students themselves are happy with the support. “I think that’s a great way to just raise awareness,” said Anjali Vyas, who graduates from Stelly’s this June. “I think it’s also good for students to see their parents setting a good example.” Vyas is part of Stelly’s grad executive which connects with the parent committee planning the grad event and hopes adults going dry will encourage her cohorts to refrain from using substances for one night.
Cpl. Pat Bryant “Grad is a really important night and we spend all these years going through school to get to this point. I want to be able to fully remember everything,” she said. “It’s also the start of our lives as adults and I think that’s a really big thing. You need to take on more responsibility and this is the first night you can take responsibility for your life and your actions. We’re not children anymore – we’re becoming adults.” The Stelly’s grads of 2012 will hold a daylong dry event on June 29 including ceremony, dinner and dance followed by an after grad party at the University of Victoria. reporter@peninsulanews review.com
What do you think? Should parents and other community members go dry for June to support our grads? Will you stay away from alcohol this June? Send an email to editor@ peninsulanewsreview. com or comment on the story online, at peninsulanewsreview. com.

he sound of distant drums echoed in the hangar where proud parents and officials waited among giant military helicopters. Then, with the flourish of wind instruments entered the nearly 50 cadets from 676 Kittyhawk Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron.
After a march and the singing of “O Canada,” the young cadets stood at attention for inspection by reviewing officer Maj. Gordon Sharpe. He looked over each cadet and chatted with a few before overseeing a demonstration. Saturday’s event was the 54th annual inspection and review for the squadron.

The Victoria International Airport will have an bigger security area and more food and retail services after a proposed $8.1 million expansion.
Airport aims for more security space, shopping in terminals Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
THANK YOU FOR JOINING
THE FIGHT A huge thank you to all of the volunteers, businesses and donors
funding life-saving research and prevention programs and improving the quality of life of people living with cancer through information and support.
There will be more opportunities behind the security lines at Victoria International Airport after an $8.1 million modification to the terminal building. The project will create an expanded pre-board security screening area into the present retail space; a new food area on the west side of the lower passenger departure lounge; a cen-
tral elevator, stair and escalator area added to the southeast corner of the terminal, and new furnishings in the upper passenger departure lounge. “Our customers told us clearly that we need more retail in post security,” said Geoff Dickson, CEO and president of the Victoria Airport Authority. It will also include a new retail store on the east side. “We’re trying to get a nice local Victoria feel. Something
that really represents what Victoria has to offer,” Dickson said. A request for proposals went out Friday for operation of food and retail booths. Submission deadline is Sept. 7 and the airport authority hopes to award a contract in October. The 18 month construction schedule is slated to start this fall and finish in the spring of 2014. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com
Accused in airport crash pleads guilty The driver in a fatal incident at Victoria International Airport last summer will appear in court for sentencing after pleading guilty last week. Shirley Murray Zerbin, 82, pleaded guilty to driving without due care and attention. The Motor Vehicle Act charge has a maximum penalty of a $2,000 fine plus six months in jail. The minimum is a $100 fine. She’s scheduled to appear for sentencing June 12 at the Victoria law courts. Witnesses to the July 29 crash said a white
sedan was driving fast when it went over the curb from the parking lot, across the airport entry road and over a raised grass area where it struck a taxi and a table full of people. The vehicle carried on and hit a baggage carrier structure then crossed another stretch of pavement before hitting the airport security building. Yellow Cab driver Ramesh Sharma, 57, was killed and seven others were injured. reporter@peninsluanewsreview.com

Parkland’s patchwork goes to good cause
Saanich could be hub for more fire dispatch Kyle Slavin News staff
Fire chiefs from View Royal and Colwood are so impressed by the quality of service from the Saanich fire dispatch centre, they’re urging other municipalities to follow their lead. Last week, View Royal fire chief Paul Hurst and Colwood fire chief Russ Cameron called for Saanich to be at the centre of an amalgamated dispatch centre, following the first week of a five-year contract that sees both West Shore municipalities serviced by Saanich dispatchers. “I’m a full supporter of one regional fire dispatch for this region,” Cameron said at a press conference Tuesday alongside Hurst and Saanich fire Chief Mike Burgess. The Colwood chief urged other municipalities to seriously look at acquiring the services of Saanich’s dispatch centre. Saanich already answers fire calls from residents in Saanich, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, North Saanich, Central Saanich and Sidney, and on May 23 began serving View Royal and Colwood. Colwood and View Royal issued requests for proposals last fall to explore breaking off
from the Langford dispatch centre. Langford dispatches for a number of small communities in the south Island while Victoria and CFB Esquimalt have their own fire dispatch. “So far things have gone very well,” Hurst said of the recent switch. “We’re receiving a top-tier service from Saanich.” The pair said Saanich’s state-of-the-art dispatch centre, built
in 2008, ensures their needs are met, including a standardized method of collecting data and statistics, and safety redundancies, in the event of data or connectivity loss. “We’re able to track, with fires, were there smoke alarms in the building or not? Where they able to escape? Why not? … Is there a hole somewhere in the service?” Hurst said, referring to the Saanich
dispatch centre’s data collection abilities. “We can look at the statistics and focus our efforts on the initiatives that need focus. Councils can make educated decisions in investing money in the budget [to particular initiatives].” Saanich’s dispatch service will cost Colwood $76,332 this year, and will rise roughly $3,000 per year until 2017. View Royal will
pay $54,584 this year, and the cost will jump roughly $2,000 a year until 2017. Both West Shore chiefs say they will be paying more, but the roughly 3.5 per cent cost increase is worth every penny. “For what I’m getting for the price I’m paying, the costs are minimal but the improvements are tenfold,” Hurst said. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Students in Parkland secondary’s textile class show the crib sized quilts they sewed, which were taken to a health clinic for women and new babies in San Paolo, Guatemala. Each quilt was donated to a deserving baby. In past years the quilts have found homes in orphanages in Mexico, Colombia and Haiti as well as local programs such as the First Babies Program and the First Nations Wellness Society. The community quilt project depends on the donation of supplies such as fabric, thread and batting. Used bed spreads, sheets and blankets are recycled into quilt parts. To donate, contact teacher Judy Mazzochi by calling the school at 250-655-2700.

OUR VIEW
Veterans deserve more support We are troubled by news that Veterans Affairs Canada is downsizing its department, including the district office in Victoria, due to budget cuts. Unlike the days when much of its work dealt with the post-Second World War struggles and challenges faced by service personnel, Veterans Affairs today is seeing an influx of people whose experience came in such theatres as Bosnia, Rwanda, Afghanistan and various peacekeeping scenarios. For those engaged in combat roles, their experiences might be similar to those lived through by their military predecessors. Yet the understanding today of the effects of posttraumatic stress disorder and other psychological illnesses is greater than the Second World War, when struggling Canadian servicemen were pigeonholed as having “battle exhaustion.” In true government fashion, Veterans Affairs insists that none of its clients will be left behind as a result of the cuts to office personnel. The union representing the workers, voicing a predictable doom-and-gloom response, argues veterans will begin to fall through the cracks due to projected increases in already too-large caseloads for staff and the added time it will take to process client requests. As in all labour-employer disputes, the truth probably lies somewhere in between. But the telling point in this conversation comes from the Royal Canadian Legion, which, for years, has done its best, given its limited resources, to fill the void in veteran support left by the federal government. They expect the next four or five years to produce more diagnosed cases of post-traumatic stress disorder than ever, a scenario which, if not addressed, could have devastating effects not only on the individuals, but their families. In a time of belt tightening, the federal government needs to make cuts. But no matter how it is sugar coated by Veterans Affairs, the decision to downsize the department’s frontline operations not only sets a dangerous precedent, it’s a slap in the face to individuals who have willingly and bravely served their country.

Quite the contrary. The alternative way to argue about B.C. Liberal government’s back is whether they really ran that red
light. Fighting a ticket in court now takes seven to 18 months, tying up judges, court registry staff and police. An administrative system won’t keep them all out of court, but the government hopes to reduce the average resolution time to 90 days and save $8 million a year or more. A similar administrative system is being established for small civil claims and strata property disputes. Some legislation is to fix earlier screw-ups. A judge tossed out B.C.’s most heavy-handed administrative penalties for failing a roadside blood alcohol test, so the government brought in a new version that allows for another administrative appeal. The mistake of making transit operate on a poorly policed “honour system” goes back to Social Credit days. There is finally a system to enforce collection of fines, on those rare occasions when someone is ticketed for taking a free ride. Even with the last-minute rush, four bills couldn’t be rammed through. Since the legislature will almost certainly have to be recalled to impose a contract on teachers this fall, the government would do well to provide a couple of weeks for orderly debate at that time.

LETTERS Serious effects of Sidney zoning bylaw loom: resident Re: Owners dispair zoning change (News, June 1) As an angered First Street resident, I have been gathering names and informing residents of the newly invented RM5 zoning, which robs some people of their rights to redevelop or even add a baby’s room to their previously legal homes. Monday, May 28, council gave third and almost final approval to a deceitful and draconian bylaw which stops many Fifth Street residents from adding a second floor room or anything except paint and shingles to their homes. Formerly full sized lots with the option to tear down and rebuild or sell that right have had it stripped away by town staff. Now these 60 to 80 homes must remain in their 1945 and newer condition absolutely
When will Sidney development stop? Re: Owners dispair zoning change (News, June 1) I believe the Town of Sidney should have been and should always be legally obligated to personally inform all affected properties of any proposed zoning changes and an explanation of what these changes mean. I consider myself a somewhat informed resident, but was completely unaware of this. Holding public open houses is fine, but not all knew about it and I certainly would have been there had I known my property is part of the change. Now I read that council cannot receive further
unaltered until a developer or speculator approved by the town chooses to pay them a fraction of their true market value and build evermore highly priced condos in their place. Other streets targeted by Sidney staff for red circling and stripping of rights, expectations and market value include older homes on Resthaven Drive, Malaview Avenue, McDonald Park Road, and First and Second streets. In short, some of these red circled properties will have lost almost half their value overnight if the zoning bylaw changes go ahead. Sales are already collapsing on these red circled homes. Four major lenders have already suggested high ratio financing may not be
feedback, but I have not been given a chance to give any feedback. I feel a change from R2 single- and two-family dwellings to a newly created RM5 which is multi-family low density decreases my property value. Coun. Steve Price states “99.9 per cent of the town like what staff has done.” I guess I’m that 0.1 per cent, but I do not. Not all residents of this town wish to live in a condo. When will development stop in this beautiful little town that I have chosen to be my home for 37 years? I have very carefully used my votes in the last two municipal elections to select members whom I thought would represent my feelings. I felt I was choosing those
who would slow down development, but I think I may have been wrong in my choices. Sandra Pettinger Sidney
Previous NS tax hikes unsustainable Re: Credit for steady North Saanich tax rate goes to previous council (Letters, May 11) I have never implied that Team North Saanich (councillors Craig Mearns, Conny McBride and myself) deserves full credit for council’s recent “no tax increase” budget. That belongs to our staff and the council who made it possible. We do claim credit for bringing the proposal forward to council as per our recent election promise. Coun. Ted Daly
available to purchasers, if a mortgage will be offered at all. These homes are not only legal nonconforming; now they are actually a non permitted use as well. Meaning if destroyed by fire beyond 75 per cent they can not be rebuilt as single family dwellings and 90 per cent of them are too small to build anything at all under this newly invented RM5 zone. A door to door survey of 25 affected homes found all 25 residents willing to allow themselves to be described as totally uninformed and totally opposed to this new zoning. What can we do? One single retired lady sobbed, “This is my life savings, all I have.” Ray Headrick Sidney supported our efforts. On request, staff did a great job in preparing a zero per cent increase budget. Only unnecessary expenditures were cut to get to zero per cent. That policy is certainly sustainable going forward. All candidates in the recent election ran on a promise of fiscal responsibility. The previous council, led by Mayor Alice Finall with a sizeable majority, did not achieve that goal. In each year of its mandate the municipal expenditures increased by approximately five per cent and they spent over $400,000 more of taxpayers’ money than the previous year on an accumulative basis. By the end of their term, they had spent over $1.2 million more than the previous council during its
Editor’s note: The Peninsula News Review contacted Town of Sidney staff to respond to some points made in Ray Headrick’s letter. Alison Verhagen, manager of planning said the RM5 zone is similar to RM3, but allows higher density. Residents wishing to rebuild a single-family house or make structural changes, including additions, to a house in this zone could apply to the board of variance. Any concerns about mortgages on properties that would become non-conforming under this zoning bylaw would need to be discussed with a mortgage broker. Sidney council can no longer receive public feedback about the bylaw. They will take a final vote on the amendments at an upcoming meeting.

hat better setting to see artwork by sculptors from our region than the picturesque Sidney waterfront. In late 2011, citizens, the Town of Sidney teamed up with the Community Arts Council of the Saanich Peninsula to pull together the Seaside Sculpture Walk, adding to an array of public art that already graces its waterfront.
Twelve sculptures are placed in strategic locations along two kilometres of the waterfront walkway between Weiler Avenue and Oakville Avenue. Each piece will stay in its location, donated to the town for at least two years. The plan is to replace the artwork, lending an ever-changing gallery to the walk. The first piece, Sanctuary of Piece, was installed in early May. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great for our town, great for the visitors
to the town, great for our residents and great for the artists because they have the opportunity to display their work. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like an outdoor gallery,â&#x20AC;? said Richard Paquette of the Sidney Seaside Sculpture Walk committee and one of the residents of Sidney who initiated the idea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My vision of it is to see this expand. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go from 12 and next year weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll add another six and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll eventually extend the length of the walkway. When it is fully realized it could be an attraction on
its own.â&#x20AC;? Members of the selection committee, who chose the art, opted for variety and pieces that would evoke thought. The only costs to the town are the installation of the bases for each piece, plus staff time. Entry fees and commission earned if any pieces sell help recuperate some of those costs, Paquette said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simply another initiative that makes our town

Sidneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spectacular waterfront environment with its awe-inspiring vistas will be further enhanced with interesting and thought provoking artworks, adding to the overall experience for visitors to the community, and residents alike.

The centaur called Chiron was not destructive like his counterparts and acted as a beacon of hope for others to follow and change their destructive course.
This North Saanich artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appreciation of nature is reflected in his bronze sculptures of animals which aim to capture motion.
The Italian-born sculptureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s piece Pure Energy is a reflection of balance and energy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an expression of the end of a gymnastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jump, balanced and strong.
The artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature piece stands 16 feet tall. The very movement of kinetic art draws people to it.
Carved from Salt Spring Island sandstone, the Keeper is a representation of strength as its form leans into the winds that whip the Sidney shoreline during storms.

■ Peninsula Co-op Charity Golf Classic ■ Friday, June 1 ■ Olympic View Golf Club
Peninsula Co-op golf tourney raises $41,000 for Epilepsy & Parkinson’s Centre The Peninsula Co-Op Charity Golf Classic marked its 20th anniversary this past Friday at Olympic View Golf Club, raising a whopping $41,000! The annual golf tournament in support of the Victoria Epilepsy & Parkinson’s Centre invited golfers to embrace a Scottish theme and have a fun time supporting a great cause. Highlights included the third annual Helicopter Golf Ball Drop, on-course and team prizes, longest drive competition and a delicious banquet. The tournament was a tremendous success, noted Catriona Johnson, Executive Director of Victoria Epilepsy & Parkinson’s Centre. This year marked two decades since the launch of the tournament, which raised $8,000 in its inaugural year.
Golfers wait patiently to start the tournament.

October 2010. Kane Kilbey, UVic’s associate vice-president of human resources, wrote in a pair of bulletins posted online that he remains confident the bargaining process will be successful. “With mediation still in progress and the required essential services yet to be designated, we do not believe that any job action
is imminent,” he said. The cost-savings plan to be brought forward this week will also cover the third CUPE union on campus: local 4163, which represents teaching assistants, ESL instructors and sessional instructors. Wilcox says that union has “no plans at this time” to hold a strike vote. kslavin@saanichnews.com

A detailed privacy review, commissioned by the University of Victoria after confidential employee information was stolen in January, says the major data breach was a preventable incident. The report, written by the province’s former information and privacy commissioner David Flaherty, lists 29 recommendations to prevent similar incidents in the future. “This major data breach should not have happened if the established data loss prevention and protection measures had been followed,” Flaherty wrote in his report. On Jan. 7 or 8, thieves targeted the payroll department and stole a number of electronics. Among them was an unencrypted USB flash drive. That flash drive held the names, banking information and social insur-
ance numbers of all 11,841 employees on UVic’s payroll since 2010. Given the volume of sensitive information on the device, “[the] protections in place for the flash drive were not reasonable in the circumstances,” Flaherty wrote. The device was stored in a locked room, in a locked safe, in a locked cabinet. Among Flaherty’s recommendations is mandatory annual privacy and security training for all university non-academic staff who handle personal information. He also recommended the university continually invest in hardware and software to protect data that requires security. And back up data should be stored off site. Additionally, he recommended the university stop storing social insurance numbers. To read Flaherty’s full report and see a list of all 29 recommendations, visit uvic.ca/infobreach.

Pickets and placards could soon go up at the University of Victoria, after two unions – representing some 1,500 employees – recently voted in favour of striking. CUPE 951 members, who work office, technical, library and childcare jobs on campus, voted 80 per
cent in favour of a strike on May 23. “For them, 80 per cent is very high. Inside workers tend to be a little more cautious when it comes to strike votes,” said Loree Wilcox, CUPE national servicing rep. In late April, CUPE 917 members voted 93 per cent in favour of a strike. That local represents tradespeo-

THE ARTS Potters face the crowds
T
wo Peninsula potters are among more than 30 artisans who will display their wares at Clay Connects. Debbie Elkins of Central Saanich and Louise Parsons of North Saanich will be part of the highly successful event. For the second year running, the annual show and sale of the South Vancouver Island Potters Guild will set up next to the Moss Street Market on June 16. The guild is composed of about 70 members based from Victoria through Sooke and Sidney to the Cowichan Valley,. Participating potters range from artisans who produce a range of functional wares to
sculptors and hand builders who specialize in more ornamental and often whimsical work. Pots on display will run the gamut from small to large, coffee mugs to garden sculpture, in porcelain, stoneware and earthenware, glazed in all colours of the rainbow. Prices range from a few dollars to more than $100. The aim of the guild, founded in 1999, is to support, motivate and educate artists working in clay. The organization also
offers strong support to Souper Bowls of Hope, with potters donating hundreds of hand-crafted bowls each year to raise funds for the Youth Empowerment Society. Guild members will set up their tables and tents in the Garry Oak Room and outside on the lawn at the Fairfield Gonzales Community Place, at 1335 Thurlow Rd. in Fairfield from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Learn more at www.victoriapotters.ca. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Some things, as they say, bear repeating. For director Glynis Leyshon, George Bernard Shaw’s Arms and the Man is worthy of the expression. The wartime farce, which runs until June 17 at the McPherson Playhouse, is the latest classic brought to the stage by Blue Bridge Repertory Theatre. Though much has evolved around how wars are fought since Shaw penned the play in 1898, the romanticizing of war and the cult of the warrior hero ring true today, Leyshon said. “It’s Shaw poking fun at the whole romanticizing of war and the idea that heroism is brave, but rather it’s not,” Leyshon said. “It’s real and scary and frightening and something that we should take entirely seriously.” Set during the Serbo-Bulgarian War of 1885, Arms and the Man follows a young woman torn between a dashing war hero and and a soldier who would rather see chocolates over bullets on the battlefield. As an early work of Shaw’s with a quick-moving plot, Leyshon considers Arms and the Man an easy introduction to the playwright, even for the most novice of audiences. And for those up on the classics, it’s a rare opportunity to see Shaw on stage in Victoria. The play is a departure from the veteran director’s last work – God of Carnage, a contemporary comedy “of manners, without manners,” staged this spring at the Belfry Theatre, where Leyshon served as artistic director for 11 years – though Leyshon is more than well acquainted with Arms and the Man. Leyshon has viewed the play from three vantage points, first

It’s one of those timeless pieces that can make us laugh and have a good time, but there’s a truth to that message at the heart of the play that’s still very valid for us all,” Leyshon said. “Getting a chance to do it again here for Blue Bridge is very exciting for me.” The play’s original emphasis on divisiveness of nationalism has remained just as originally intended, Leshon said. The first time she saw Arms and the Man, Leyshon felt removed from some of the details in the names, such as the Serbians and the Balkans. “Unfortunately with all of the conflict in Serbia and the former Yugoslavia, the idea that there

are wars in the Balkans … is all too present with us.” Without undermining the deeper social commentary, she appreciates the play for some of its perhaps more widely accessible attributes. “This really is early Shaw, so he really is having a good time as a young playwright; having fun with all of the operetta form, the dashing, gallant hero and the elevated, flowery language,” she said. “It’s more tongue-in-cheek and has a lot more genuine sense of farce than a lot of his later and more serious work.” Under Leyshon’s direction are Dylan Smith of Blue Bridge’s inaugural production of Shakespeare’s As You Like It and Stratford Festival lead Amanda Lisman.

Sidney North Saanich Yacht Club is venturing forth to educate adults in addition to its usual junior sailing summer programs. This year adults can hit the calm Sidney seas in a two-day course that includes 10 hours on the water and two hours in the classroom. The club will hire B.C. Sailing certified instructors, mostly local university students, to teach the program. Participants need a life jacket, warm clothes, rain gear, sunscreen and a bag lunch. Lessons take place on the club-owned 25-foot Capri or 24-foot Martin. For each session there will be three students for each instructor. The goal is to teach all participants boat handling and safety skills to confidently sail a small keelboat or dinghy. Four sessions run between June 2 and July 21. Register at Sidney North Saanich Yacht Club, 1949 Marina Way or by calling 250-6564600. Cost is $225. sports@peninsulanews review.com

Vision Matters Dr. Paul Neumann
Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.
Eyestrain... One cause Undetected farsightedness (HYPEROPIA) is a common cause of eyestrain. How can farsightedness go undetected? It can’t, of course, if you have your eyes examined routinely. People can mask small to moderate amounts of farsightedness by using the eye muscles to see distant objects. Even more muscular effort is required to focus on near objects. This action is known as “ACCOMMODATION”. Constant accommodation to see causes significant eyestrain and fatigue. Ideally, the eyes should not require any focusing to see faraway objects clearly. The eye muscles should be totally relaxed. This would leave all the accommodation available to focus in on near tasks. When the eyes are already focusing to see distant objects, the added effort to focus on near work can be very tiring. When we are young we accommodate unconsciously and small amounts of farsightedness can be ignored if vision is good. Since children have a huge capacity to accommodate a parent may miss the sometimes subtle signs of higher amounts of hyperopia. The resulting eyestrain can lead to the avoidance of near tasks. Slower reading development is common in children with significant hyperopia. In some farsighted children the focusing effort may even cause crossed eyes. A person’s ability to accommodate decreases with age. Eventually most farsighted people seek help, but they first may have endured years of unnecessary discomfort. Children should be examined, even in the absence of complaints because they may not be aware that they are working their eyes harder than is necessary.

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Wednesday, June 6, 2012
Laws left hanging as legislature adjourns Ambulances, farm disease reporting, movie regulations and drilling water use left behind Tom Fletcher Black Press
A dozen bills were pushed through with minimal debate in the last two days of the B.C. legislature’s spring session, and four more will be left in limbo until the B.C. Liberal government decides whether to proceed with a scheduled fall session. B.C. Liberal house leader Rich Coleman moved last week to
divide up the remaining time left to debate a stack of legislation tabled by government ministers in recent weeks. Bills receiving less than an hour of additional scrutiny include changes to ferry legislation, new penalty provisions for transit fare evasion, changes to support harsher roadside penalties for suspected impaired drivers, the establishment of a Family Day holiday and the reinstatement of the provincial sales tax. NDP house leader John Horgan said complicated issues such as sales tax transition for new home sales can’t possibly be understood in the 30 minutes allowed for debate. The B.C. Liberals have “com-
“If they hadn’t spent three days talking about the HST when the PST bill was the one they were supposed to be debating, and given us leave to do the third house, all the work would have got done.” – Rich Coleman, Liberal house leader pletely and utterly botched” this legislative session, with 15 bills presented with only eight sitting days left, Horgan said. Coleman and Finance Minister Kevin Falcon have previously said the late flood of legislation was caused partly by the staff time required to dismantle the harmo-
nized sales tax, set to end next spring. The legislative logjam prompted the government to open a third chamber in a committee room, holding three simultaneous debates for the first time in B.C. history. Coleman said the NDP opposi-
tion wasted hours of debate time speaking to legislation that they ended up supporting, and opposing the use of a third debate chamber. “If they hadn’t spent three days talking about the HST when the PST bill was the one they were supposed to be debating, and given us leave to do the third house, all the work would have got done,” Coleman said. The four bills not passed in the spring session include a restructuring of ambulance services, and regulatory changes affecting disease reporting on farms. Another bill left in limbo would modernize movie regulations and the fourth makes changes to water use in oil and gas drilling. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Wednesday, June 6, 2012
Tsunami motorcycle bound for Milwaukee Kyle Wells News staff
The corroded, sand-filled motorcycle unearthed on a Haida Gwaii beach will be displayed in the Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee, Wis. The bike washed ashore on a beach in Haida Gwaii at the end of April after being swept out to sea in the tsunami that hit Japan in March 2011. It travelled across the ocean in a container box. Upon hearing of the story of the bike, Langford businessman Steve Drane had the idea to restore the motorcycle and return it to its owner in Japan. Plans changed, however, as the story attracted worldwide media attention. The bike is now in Vancouver under the care of Deeley Harley-Davidson Canada. It will soon make its journey to Milwaukee, the home of Harley-Davidson headquarters.
Jim Zeeben/News staff
Front view of the remains of a 2004 Night Train that was swept away by the 2011 tsunami that struck Japan. Canadian, U.S. and Japanese divisions of Harley-Davidson worked with the Japanese
owner of the motorcycle, Ikuo Yokoyama to make the decision not to restore the bike.

Yokoyama, while touched that Drane and others were willing to fix his bike and return it to him, said in a press release he would rather see it “preserved in its current condition and exhibited to the many visitors … as a memorial to a tragedy that claimed thousands of lives.” In the tsunami, Yokoyama lost three family members and his home. The 29-year-old is still living in temporary housing in Miyagi Prefecture. “I am very grateful to the Harley-Davidson Museum for offering me an opportunity to visit the museum and I would like to do that when things have calmed down,” Yokoyama said. While on display at Drane’s Langford store, the motorcycle drew hundreds of people. “You couldn’t tell a story this good if the bike was restored,” Drane said. news@goldstreamgazette.com
