or one group of teens, the Parkland secondary school graduation on June 7 was a family affair. Five cousins – Rebecca Groves,
Alexis Tanner, Josefine Ferger, Tamara Esselink and Edward Gawne – all graduated the same day from the same school. Better yet, each grad had at least one parent who attended Parkland secondary as a teen. “Five out of the five grads’ parents also graduated from or attended
Parkland, so it’s a long line of us,” said Tamara Esselink’s mother, Debbie, a Parkland graduate whose husband Gerry also graduated from there. PLEASE SEE: Teens unite from afar, page A22

Airport workers’ bargaining talks stall Strike vote could be considered if conciliation fails Erin Cardone News staff
Stalled bargaining talks at the Victoria International Airport may
go to conciliation. “It’s unfortunate that it’s come to this. They still have a chance to settle a deal,” said Dave Clark, regional vice-president pacific for the Union of Canadian Transportation Employees. The union’s 30 or so Public Service Alliance of Canada members at the airport work in emergency response, customer care, runway
maintenance, computer systems and other jobs. Vancouver Airport Authority CEO Geoff Dickson hopes the federal conciliation officer can move talks ahead. “We’re hopeful it will speed up negotiations and we can reach an agreement that’s equitable for both sides,” Dickson said. Among the union’s top issues is
wage parity with workers at the Vancouver International Airport. Clark said vehicle operators in Victoria make $6,000 a year less than their Vancouver counterparts. For IT workers, it’s $15,000 a year less. “Even though the cost living quite similar there’s a big difference in pay,” he said. Federal Labour Minister Lisa
Raitt has 90 days to appoint a conciliator. Should mediation fail, both groups must take a 90 day cooling off period before the employer, VAA, can lock employees out, or before employees can withdraw their services. Clark said the union plans to hold a strike vote in the future. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Trustees endorse teacher contract Tom Fletcher
Ferries committee less optimistic Toby Gorman Nanaimo News Bulletin
Black Press
B.C. school trustees have embraced a contract extension for the B.C. Teachers’ Federation that promises labour peace in schools until next spring. With 85 per cent of boards of education participating last week, the vote was unanimous in favour of the two-year contract that expires June 30, 2013. The deal imposes a two-year wage freeze on teachers, which had already been accepted by school support staff and other public sector unions in B.C. “Boards of education are pleased that we have been able to achieve agreements with all of our unionized staff in these challenging times,” said Melanie Joy, chair of the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association. Teachers voted by a three-to-one margin last week to accept the contract extension, with 52 per cent of BCTF members casting ballots. The deal puts off a bitter dispute over government changes to hiring, layoff and performance evaluation of teachers. Education Minister George Abbott said the agreement includes a letter of understanding to continue talks on those issues. Those discussions are expected to resume this fall, dealing with professional development, evaluation and which issues are negotiated at the provincial and local levels. The long-running dispute over class size and composition may also heat up again next year as the B.C. Liberal government heads into an election campaign. BCTF president Susan Lambert said the agreement includes some improvements to teacher benefits and leave provisions. The union is going to court to argue that imposing a two-year wage freeze violates their right to collective bargaining. Lambert also indicated that the BCTF will once again work to unseat the B.C. Liberal government. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com
Vision Matters Dr. Paul Neumann
Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.
Has my vision changed? How frequently should one “change ones glasses?” There is no hard and fast answer to this question. Certain people are able to keep the same prescription for two or three years, sometimes longer, while others require more frequent changes. Nearsighted children and adults between age forty and sixty, usually fall into the latter category, often requiring new prescriptions annually for several years. Typically, most adults will require lenses for reading and near work, when they reach their early forties. If distance vision is good without glasses, “readers” are often all that is necessary; but if distance correction is needed, bifocals or progressive lenses are most commonly prescribed. The reading prescription usually changes about every one to two years until age sixty or so. After sixty, barring eye health problems such as cataracts, the vision is usually very stable, and only minor changes are required. The best way to monitor these changes is to have routine eye examinations. Not only do these timely visits ensure the eyes are healthy, they are the most effective way to ensure a person is seeing as well as he or she should.
Central Saanich OPTOMETRY CLINIC
Dr. Paul Neumann
Ferry Advisory Committee chairs say they are less optimistic than B.C. Ferries after the corporation announced in its 2012 fiscal results that it plans to return to profitability by 2014. B.C. Ferries is reporting a net loss of $16.5 million for the year ending March 31, 2012, and is forecasting “a small loss for fiscal 2013,” driven mostly by significantly lower traffic levels than expected. In its report, B.C. Ferries stated it expects to make a profit in two years assuming there is no further deterioration of customer traffic. The corporation is at a 21-year low in passenger traffic and a 13-year low in vehicle traffic, a pattern the com-
mittee doesn’t see changing unless fares drop. “The main point is we have yet to see any evidence of it,” said John Hodgkins, chairman of the Gabriola ferry advisory committee. “If you take the Gabriola ferry route, up until April, we’re still seeing a year on year decline of four per cent for both passengers and vehicles and it’s very difficult to read into that any signs of recovery.” With three years left in Performance Term 3, fares are expected to increase well beyond inflation rates for at least that time frame. In January, changes were made to the Coastal Ferry Act based on 18 recommendations by ferry commissioner Gord Macatee, which could result in service reductions on minor routes that have
less than 30 per cent ridership. Gabriola has a ridership rate in the mid-40 per cent range. A consultation of coastal communities by the province and B.C. Ferries is expected to continue throughout the summer with some changes being implemented later this year. Part of the changes to the act included the province topping up B.C. Ferries subsidy by $79.5 million over four years, on top of the annual $150 million annual subsidy in an effort to keep fares down. The advisory committee said it doesn’t believe that money will be enough to make the ferry service affordable, which will result in further reductions in ridership.

“The [money] for the ferry service is a very good deal for the provincial government,” said Tony Law, FAC chairman for Hornby-Denman, adding that it only amounts to 21 per cent of B.C. Ferries revenue while the province picks up 46 per cent of B.C. Transit revenue. “In all, the ferry contribution is a very modest amount to pay for essential transportation.” In B.C. Ferries’ fiscal report, CEO Mike Corrigan said the legislative changes will improve the service’s financial outlook long term. Revenues for the last fiscal year decreased from $739.3 million to $738.2 million, while operating expenses increased from $672.2 million to $682.7 million. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

Seniors should keep their cool this week as Environment Canada predicts weather hitting highs of 27 degrees Saturday and Sunday at the Victoria airport. For active seniors it may mean getting out in the garden, but do it
safely, says the Vancouver Island Health Authority. “It’s nice that we have this problem, that we’re finally getting some summer weather. That will benefit people psychologically,” said Richard Stanwick, chief medical health officer for VIHA. “Get out there and enjoy the weather, but take the right precautions.” Use sunscreen as always, and if you’re heading out to the garden, don’t do it between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. “As you get older, you actu-

Viking man’s name in Hall of Fame Viking Air founder Nils Christensen inducted to Aviation Hall of Fame Devon MacKenzie News staff
Peninsula resident and founder of Viking Air, Nils Christensen, received a special honour as he was inducted into Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame. The ceremony took place in Montreal on June 14 and inducted four Canadians including Christensen into the hall of fame.
Nils Christensen
“It was very emotional really,” said John Latta, a longtime friend of Christensen’s, who nominated him for the induction. “Nils was pretty overwhelmed with the recognition. Even though he knew it was coming, it was just such a big thing for him and everybody gave him a standing ovation. It was great.” Christensen started his aviation career in 1942 when he joined the Royal Norwegian Air Force in New York and was sent to “Little Norway” in Toronto as an aircraft mechanic. For close to the next decade, Christensen spent his time travelling around as a flight mechanic, whether it was with the air force or with private companies and earning his Norwegian flight engineers and mechanics licence. In 1951, Christensen returned to Canada and worked at deHavilland. A year later he became chief of maintenance at Sault Airways in Sault Ste. Marie, Que. There he maintained various float and ski aircraft which would later transfer to similar work that is currently done at Viking Air. In 1956 Christensen became chief of maintenance at the Victoria Flying Club and later worked with Fairey Aviation and McKinnon Enterprises.

OUR VIEW
Support housing for young people Not long ago, the Peninsula News Review received a letter responding to proposals for density in the community. The writer stated an influx of families with children would bring debris such as bicycles and noise to the neighbourhood – certainly an inconvenience that would not be appreciated. The Saanich Peninsula is known as a haven for the retired. Its wide sidewalks, open streets and impeccable climate make it so. And so it should remain – in part. Catering just to the wealthy and retired is unsustainable and rather sad. Today’s real estate market is on shaky ground. The American dollar isn’t as strong as it once was. Sidney’s population dropped between 2007 and 2011; schools are closing as enrolment shrinks. And with an average age around 53 in Sidney and North Saanich, we’d better pray there are people willing to move here to buy property and shop at our businesses in future years. A community is nothing without diversity. Imagine Sidney Days without children. The Peninsula News Review fully supports the current and growing push for workforce housing. Not only do the biggest employers in our area need it to survive and inject tax dollars into the economy, but we believe young people are imperative to the future of any community. Those employers must step up with programs to ensure their workers are first in line for lower cost housing that comes available. NIMBYism will be the biggest challenge proponents of workforce housing will face, but residents must remember that rural, quaint places to live can remain so – not a “little Langford” as a letter on the next page frivolously suggests. Lands End, Dean Park and Ardmore won’t be riddled with apartments, but land near the airport, for example, is well suited to lower cost housing. Residents should be aware that more high density developments are in store for their municipalities in the future. We should embrace change when it’s done right – after all, you wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the changes that came before your time. What do you think?

Hedley’s Nickel Plate and Mascot mines produced fortunes in gold, silver and copper before they played out and Barlee led the fight to preserve their history. Today you can tour the Mascot mine, a proud historical site with a spectacular climb up the rock face that serves as the Grouse Grind of the B.C. desert. I first discovered Barlee as a reporter at the Kelowna Capital News in the early 1980s, when he did a weekly history show on CHBC television called Gold Trails and Ghost Towns. A bare-bones studio affair with tales and artifacts displayed for host Mike Roberts, the show lasted a decade. Barlee didn’t lack courage, quitting a teaching career in Trail and Penticton in 1969 to start his magazine. On subscription fees and a few classified ads, he built a life’s work that allowed him to walk the boardwalks of history and the halls of power.

Careful consideration needed in tidal zone Until three or four decades ago, when there were fewer waterfront property owners in North Saanich, few regulations existed as to how beachfronts were treated. Over the years, as the number of waterfront homes increased most owners have been reasonably careful stewards of the beach and avoided making permanent incursions onto the foreshore. Also, previous North Saanich councils have wisely passed regulations limiting permanent structures on the foreshore, so shorebirds, intertidal critters and human beachcombers could all enjoy a healthy environment. Now onto the scene come councillors Dunstan Browne, Craig Mearns and Conny McBride, who apparently want to repeal or weaken bylaws that regulate and protect the intertidal zone with bylaw 1295, which came to North Saanich committee of the whole on June 25. How does one account for this contempt for our common heritage? Many citizens, as I do, see it as an attempt to hijack the broader public interest for the benefit of narrower private interests. What happens when the rights of the commons – the environment – clash
with individual property rights? We do have another option. We can use the precautionary principle until careful investigation tells us that we are not acting in foolhardy ways that threaten the biodiversity and beauty of our shared marine areas. Jack Thornburgh North Saanich
Density near airport doesn’t fly There is a proposed high density development in North Saanich waiting to go through. It all started with the election of the new council in November. The first move from Coun. Dunstan Browne and Coun. Ted Daly was to remove Mayor Alice Finall from her rightful position of being the director of the CRD so Daly could take her place. After that four councillors determined to reshape North Saanich took over. Should North Saanich now become little Langford? It surely looks like it. Ted Daly & Co. are trying to push through a dense development proposed by Gary Lunn as quickly as possible. The sales pitch of this high density development is that it would be “affordable” housing. Similar to earlier developments when everything was “green.” If they are really interested in

helping the poor, why not donate the land to Habitat for Humanity – then I could believe their humanitarian thinking. This however, in my eyes, is nothing but a sales pitch. To rush such a decision through without listening to the residents is unacceptable. This proposed development is a significant change to the official community plan – not a minor one, as Gary Lunn wants us to believe. There should be stricter regulations for developers and the public has to have a stronger voice in decision making. But who is listening? It is essential that there is proper consultation with the public before making any decisions. Hildegard Horie North Saanich

Having been named after the Mohawk Indian Chief Joseph Brant who persuaded his tribe to support the British during the War of 1812, I am beginning to understand, despite having lived in many areas across the country, why so many are sketchy about the history of that event. The War of 1812 is the only war the Americans ever lost and hence is neither taught nor given much room in their history. Because it took place in Ontario,

Thousands of cities and municipalities across Canada and the world allow rabbits as pets and they don’t have issues. Why would we assume that because the University of Victoria had a tremendous overpopulation of wild rabbits that Sidney would become overrun by domesticated pet rabbits?

A new partnership between Woodwynn Farms and an organization known as Close to Home could give families of the addicted and homeless new hope. The collaboration of the two groups was announced June 26 by Woodwynn Farms executive director Richard Leblanc and Close to Home director Louise Chabros.
“We’ve chosen to align ourselves with Woodwynn Farms to function as the voice of the families of those with addiction problems or mental illness,” explained Chabros. According to Leblanc, Close to Home will help Woodwynn by bolstering the voice of the Creating Homefulness Society, which runs the farm. “The most important part is that when we’re at the table having dis-
cussions with various levels of government about what we do here [at Woodwynn] that the families will be heard from,” Leblanc said. Close to Home, which is in the process of seeking not-for-profit status, was started by Leblanc as a Facebook group over a year ago. Last July Woodwynn was forced to stop housing homeless on farm property after they were asked to seek regulatory permits

SPORTS NEWS IN BRIEF
Piranhas draw a crowd The Piranhas swim club hosted its annual Sprint Challenge in their home pool at Panorama Recreation Centre July 7 and 8. The club saw upwards of 250 swimmers from all over the Lower Mainland and the Gulf Islands. Swimmers competed in individual medley, breast, fly, back and freestyle. Past Piranhas swim club members have gone on to represent institutions like the University of Victoria, the University of British Columbia and the University of Pittsburgh.
New record for track master Danny Daniels Contributor
Sandy Anderson, 72, who already holds Canadian Masters records in high jump and pole vault, set another new record competing in the B.C. Masters Championships in Langley last weekend. Her winning heave of 9.58 metres in the weight throw event beat the existing mark by more than half a metre. In doing so, she added this gold medal to those she collected in winning the high jump, discus, pole vault, javelin and shot put events. Anderson also picked up a silver in the hammer throw. Fellow Pen Tracker Anne Murfitt (W50) took gold in her javelin and shot competitions, and gathered silvers in the discus, hammer and weight throw events. Not to be outdone, Les East (M70) scored six gold medals with his wins in the triple jump (7.63 metres, a personal best), high jump, long jump, hammer, shot and javelin, and secured a silver in the discus, in spite of throwing 30.33 metres. The athletes will now focus on sharpening their performances for the Canadian and North American Championships in St. John, N.B., Aug. 9 to 12. sports@peninsulanewsreview.com

Hesjedal recovering after Tour de France crash Travis Paterson News staff
He’s the reigning Giro D’Italia winner and is London-bound for his third Olympic Games. But even the chance to gorge – guilt free – on all the French cuisine he can this weekend will do little to lift the spirits of Ryder Hesjedal. The wiry Victoria cyclist withdrew from the Tour de France before Saturday’s Stage 7 after a major crash set him and some of his Team Garmin-Sharp-Barracuda teammates 13 minutes back of the leaders on Friday’s Stage 6. “Its a huge disappointment,” Hesjedal said. “I was in good form and feeling comfortable, just really settling in to the first week with an eye on the mountains.” Hesjedal said he’s now focused on the Olympics, and has resigned himself to rooting for his Garmin teammates still on the Tour. At the moment of the crash, Hesjedal was one of the top contenders in the hunt for the yellow jersey as the overall winner of the Tour. Dozens of riders piled up in front of him and he sustained a hematoma to his left leg and hip.
Casey B. Gibson/Garmin-Sharp-Barracuda
Ryder Hesjedal shown at Stage 6, Epernay to Metz, finished Stage 13 minutes back of the lead, then pulled out of the Tour de France due to injury. The team released a statement about the injury, saying it prevented a normal pedal stroke. “The injury would only be worsened if he tried to ride [Saturday],” team doctor Prentice Steffen said. “He needs to go home, keep working with the medical staff, and recover.” “[Garmin] still has a strong group of riders here and they will still do great things,” Hesjedal said. For the first time in its five year existence, Garmin has no one in
contention for the yellow jersey, as Dan Martin leads the team in 69th, 27 minutes back of overall leader Bradley Wiggins. Garmin’s Tom Danielson, who Hesjedal helped to ninth overall in the 2011 Tour, was also part of the crash that led to Hesjedal’s demise and was forced to abandon mid-race. Hesjedal will represent Canada in the Olympic men’s road race on July 28 and time trial on Aug. 1 in London. sports@vicnews.com

Aquafit instructor Michelle Dolan, along with her class of about 20 women, has added a little flair to her morning workout routine. To mix things up, the regular Friday morning deep-water Aquafit class at Panorama Recreation Centre began singing along with the music that’s played during their workout. After a few sessions, the class became
known for its vocal renditions of tunes by the likes of the Beatles, the Monkees and Aretha Franklin. “The lifeguards just have to bop along beside our pool, getting in the spirit of things. Onlookers just have to smile,” said Virginia Rouslin, a member of the early morning class and also of the Peninsula Singers. After feedback from the class participants, Dolan, who also used to sing with Peninsula
Singers and Via Choralis, started jotting down songs that met the toe-tapping, easy-tosing-along-with requirement. “The regular aquafit music was so pedantic, I really wanted something more fun so I started looking around for music that would get people singing,” she said. Soon after she assembled her playlist for the class, the women of the early Friday morning deep-water Aquafit
were up and running – or singing as it were. “It all happened very naturally,” explained Dolan. “I think it comes down to the fact that exercise has to be fun, otherwise people don’t want to do it.” Friday morning Deep Power Aquafit runs from 8 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. Visit www.crd.bc.ca/ panorama for more information or call 250656-7271. reporter@peninsula newsreview.com

The longer you leave it… NOTICE OF INTENTION TO LEASE AND GRANT ASSISTANCE The District of Central Saanich hereby gives notice that it intends to lease, for less than fair market value, that portion of the building known as Central Saanich Cultural Centre located on lands legally described as: PID: 013-336-631 Lot A, Section 11, Range 1 West, South Saanich District, Plan 48179 shown outlined in bold on the diagram below:
“I thought it would go away” is a phrase often heard by the chiropractor. Yes, it is true some symptoms are temporary and can work themselves out because the body is a selfhealing, self-regulating organism, but how long do you wait? We know that scar tissue will begin to infiltrate an inflamed area of the body within 72 hours. This is important to repair damaged or torn tissue, but if there is no damaged tissue, only irritation and muscle spasm, the scar tissue will gum up the works. It will “glue” together nerves and connective tissue reducing proper motion thus creating a greater challenge to bring the affected area back to normal. “This is my normal level of pain.” Being stoic and stubborn may be doing you a disservice. Why suffer? The longer you leave it, the worse it may get! Spinal joint and disc degeneration begins from ignoring the body’s alarm signals. “I can handle it, it’s not that bad.” While I believe that you can handle the pain, I know that your body is compensating for the loss of normal function. Arthritis is real and will occur when your spine and joints remain dysfunctional. “It’s a muscle problem.” It sure is! That painful spasm doesn’t know how to undo itself. The muscle can’t think for itself, it takes direction from the brain. If the nerves can’t transmit and communicate, you need a chiropractic adjustment to allow the information to be received to normalize and relax that muscle back to its resting tone.
and having the civic address of 1229 Clarke Road, to the Central Saanich Senior Citizens Association (a Society incorporated under No. S0017626) (the “Society”). The lease shall be for a term of five (5) years, commencing on August 1, 2012, expiring July 31, 2017, for the rent of one ($1.00) dollar for the full term of the Lease. The Society wishes to lease the subject premises for the purposes of operating a senior citizens’ centre. Notice is given that the District intends to grant assistance to the Society by entering into this lease for less than fair market value. The extent of the assistance is $575,000.00, being the fair market value rental for the five year term of the lease. This notice is given pursuant to Sections 24 and 26 of the Community Charter. Any inquiries respecting this Notice may be directed to the office of the Municipal Clerk, Central Saanich Municipal Hall, 1903 Mt. Newton Cross Road, Saanichton, BC, V8M 2A9, Telephone: 250-652-4444. Susan Brown Municipal Clerk
“I don’t want to see a chiropractor because I heard that once you go, you have to go for the rest of your life.” Chiropractic is not addictive. Most chiropractic offices are happy to provide temporary relief care to reduce your symptoms without drugs or surgery and begin the healing process. Choosing to improve your quality of life by having a normally functioning nervous system to keep you body at ease is a personal choice. The chiropractic philosophy is holistic and wellness-oriented proven to give you a lifetime of health and vitality to enjoy all pursuits.

province, said Paul Finch, BCGEU vice-president. Additionally, he argued the cost of the service would rise if it were privatized. The government’s request for proposals for a new service delivery model closed June 29. It aims to announce the winning proponent in March 2013. “The purpose of the competitive RFP process is to seek a private-sector service provider that can operate a liquor distribution system that is more efficient than the current one,” reads a statement on the Liquor Distribution Branch website. It continues, “Our expectation is that the cost of liquor distribution will be lower. British Columbians will pay about the same amount for liquor after liquor distribution is privatized, because the province will continue to control pricing.”
The strike, which took place in all three liquor distribution warehouses in B.C., was also held in response to contract negotiations, which have been ongoing for six months. “We’re just looking for a fair deal,” Finch said. The union does not support an offer by the government for raises of two per cent and 1.5 per cent, respectively, over the next two years. “We’ve seen our members’ wages deteriorate for three years due to [a wage freeze and] inflation.” Asked whether it was dangerous to demand higher salaries when the government is looking to privatize a public service, Finch said “absolutely not.” “I think historically, the public in B.C. has supported the public-sector unions when we’ve asked for reasonable increases to keep up with inflation.” rholmen@vicnews.com
