As the sun rises over Albert Head in Metchosin, a few dozen sleepy Air Cadets from all over B.C. and the North don their uniforms and shine their boots in preparation for spending another day on the Peninsula at the Victoria International Airport. Every summer, the Victoria airport, the Victoria Flying Club and 443 Maritime Helicopter Squadron play host to hundreds of Air Cadets taking part in general training and the Power Pilot Scholarship courses. “[The Air Cadet] program is super. It teaches the kids about citizenship, teamwork, leadership. … All the good things that help them become better at whatever they choose to do in life,” says Power Pilot Scholarship supervisor Capt. Bernie Corrigan. The courses offer younger
cadets, ages 12-14, the opportunity to experience what the Air Cadet program has to offer while the Power Pilot Scholarship course gives teens ages 17 and 18 the opportunity to achieve their private pilot’s licence free of cost and in only seven weeks. As the day progresses, groups of general training cadets head up in the air for their very first familiarization flights with a qualified pilot, where they quickly learn one of the many lessons of flying: mother nature rules. “It was very cool, but it was too bad we didn’t get to fly to over Albert Head because it was too foggy and there wasn’t enough visibility,” says cadet Teo Verdicchio of his first flight. Corrigan, who has been involved with the Power Pilot program for over 10 years, says the program is second to none in terms of what it offers to youth interested in flying.
John Vucko, left, and Christopher Kwiatkowski prepare to head up for a flight orientation during cadet general training camp. “We have had kids move on from the power program to become private pilots, pilots in the military and pilots for commercial airlines like WestJet, Air Canada and even Cathay Pacific. The power program allows them to do in seven weeks what most people learn in about a year and a half. It really gives them an amazing head start.” Corrigan also notes that the Victoria airport gives the cadets an experience they might not get anywhere else in the province. “Flying out of the Victoria airport gives the kids a chance to get comfortable being around the big boys. The other camps in the province are held out of Abbotsford and Boundary Bay which have a lot of small plane traffic, but not as much big, commercial traffic. This airport really gives them a unique experience in that respect.” The Power Pilot Scholarship
program is offered exclusively to cadets who qualify for it. “Through the regular cadet year which follows the school year, the kids take classes to learn some of the basics,” explains Capt. Meghan Anderson, cadet program public affairs officer. “Once they’ve completed the classes, they take the national exam and if they pass they have to write an essay about why they want to participate in the Power Pilot Scholarship program. They also have to sit in front of a board and present themselves explaining their wish to be in the program, so it’s a long selection process.” This year’s Power Pilot program out of Albert Head has 13 participants – seven girls and six boys – from across the province and the North and a few have already passed their flight tests. “We’ve already had a few of our cadets take and pass the flight test including one girl we fast-tracked because she was accepted into university back east,” explains Corrigan. “We wanted her to be able to participate in the program and not have to withdraw because of having to move, so we made it
work for her. That’s what we’re here to do – help them to succeed in any way we can.” The teens in the Power Pilot Scholarship program learn to fly Monday through Saturday during classroom time and practical instruction in Cessna 172s. During the seven-week course, which ends Aug. 18, the cadets are taught by qualified instructors from the Victoria Flying Club. As the day comes to a close for both the general training and Power Pilot groups, the cadets board a yellow school bus back Albert Head for dinner. The Power Pilot students spend their evening studying and relaxing after their long day and the general training cadets participate in an organized activity and have free time before bed. “It’s a lot of hard work and long days and it’s a lot to take in in only seven weeks [for the Power Pilot students]. They really are dedicated kids,” says Corrigan. For more information, visit www.cadets.ca or contact the local 676 Kittyhawk Air Cadet squadron at 250-656-4423. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com
Lions’ event goes ‘back to its roots’ Central Saanich Days cancelled so group can focus on family event Devon MacKenzie News staff

A boy takes part in Central Saanich Days activities last year. The event was cancelled this year in favour of co-hosting a more familyfriendly celebration.
Centennial Park was noticeably quieter this past B.C. Day long weekend as, for the first time in 37 years, the park didn’t play host to Central Saanich Days. The event was an annual effort of the Central Saanich Lions Club and included a three-day slow pitch tournament which brought teams out from all over the province. “After [many] years, the Lions Club re-evaluated its position in running this popular event,” said club president Ron Basi. “A combination of factors caused a change in direction … the increasing number of competing events on the same weekend, the huge amount of manpower needed, plus changing family val-

OUR VIEW
Athletes’ legacy with community It’s been a tough year for a few of Victoria’s highprofile athletes. After winning the Giro D’Italia and solidifying his place as Canada’s premier cyclist, Ryder Hesjedal crashed out of the Tour de France, and got middle-ofthe pack outcomes in the Olympic road race and time trial, and no medals. Last Saturday, 22-year-old Paula Findlay showed true grit and fought through an injury-plagued year to finish the women’s triathlon in last place. (With a time of 2:12:09 – that’s still a blistering pace. Consider this: the female winner of the Victoria Subaru Olympic-distance triathlon came in at 2:28:07.) Findlay’s performance and subsequent apology set off a firestorm of controversy after fellow triathlete Simon Whitfield came to her defence and criticized Triathlon Canada and Findlay’s coach for giving her poor guidance in recovering from a hip injury. Then on Tuesday, Whitfield, the pride of Victoria as Canada’s Olympic flag bearer, crashed early in his race, ending his Olympic career in a way he, and the nation, never imagined. But world-class athletes like Hesjedal, Findlay and Whitfield – not to mention the medal winning men’s eight rowers, track cyclist Gillian Carleton and swimmer Ryan Cochrane – will continue to be local heroes, and will continue to exemplify the Olympic spirit. The legacy of our local athletes doesn’t hinge on medals, but on how they give back to the community. Whitfield has raised thousands for KidSport Victoria and mentors up-and-coming competitive triathletes. Hesjedal’s success spurred the Tour de Victoria and the Ryder’s Cycling Society of Canada to promote cycling locally and across the country. Athletes such as Findlay and Carleton and rowers Lindsay Jennerich and Patricia Obee are mentoring the next generation of young women in their disciplines and will continue to be superb athletes to be reckoned with on the world stage. Victoria is home, or the adopted home, of 32 athletes on this year’s Canadian Olympic team. With institutions like Commonwealth Place, the Pacific Institute for Sport Excellence and the national team rowing facility at Elk Lake, these athletes will continue to train and inspire youth to stay fit and healthy, to push their limits and strive to be the best in the world. We can be proud of what our Olympians have achieved in London, but the Games come and go. The impact of local athletes will be felt in the Greater Victoria community for years to come.

It’s one thing for a businessman to come forward and state his stance on an issue – I may disagree with you for reasons of equality or religion – but your views are your own. I wouldn’t boycott you for that. However, it’s another thing entirely to use your company’s profits to finance groups whose sole objective is to deny equal rights to a portion of the population that includes some of your employees and customers. That’s boycottworthy. I realistically don’t expect to change anyone’s stance on gay marriage with this column. Your views, like mine, are founded in each of our upbringings and our understandings of our social and political environments. But I, like many, should thank Cathy for coming out and publicly stating his position on such a divisive issue – even if it makes no sense for a businessman to wade into the discussion. At least there’s an awareness now of where money goes once it’s exchanged for Chick-fil-A Chick-nStrips. I wouldn’t want to knowingly have my money finance discriminatory ventures. Maybe more business owners should be as open. Kyle Slavin is a reporter with the Saanich News. kslavin@saanichnews.com

LETTERS Neighbour opposes Port Sidney plans Re: Port of contention (News, Aug. 3) The Town of Sidney’s Town Talk states, “We want to make our community a better place.” While we realize our town’s council has received an advance request and are obligated to deal with it, what is it going to take to make the Port Sidney Marina group understand they cannot continue to impose their nightmarish wishes upon the citizens of Sidney, who lease the land and the water lots to them? The marina’s lessees demonstrate little respect for the homeowners fronting the marina, many of whom were here before the marina was originally
approved. May we suggest these many property owners contribute considerably more annually to the coffers of the town than the some 2,000 people visiting each year through the efforts of the marina charter companies. Such a distraction from the natural view to the islands would compromise the whole landscape and would not be for the public good. Try to imagine the look and huge imposition from the reflection of the sun off the white metal bins, right in the living room windows of some of Sidney’s most valuable real estate.

Readers respond: Global warming denier astounds fellow reader Re: Attack on Mulcair policies in ads carry economic clout (Letters, Aug. 3) The author of this letter seems to have a confused view regarding Canada’s present manufacturing difficulties. He mentions our recent softwood lumber agreement with the U.S. as being an example of a successful outcome due to free trade. The lumber industry was unjustly penalized billions of dollars by the Americans over the years, however the courts were poised to force the return of these illegally confiscated funds before the present Conservative Canadian government caved in to the Americans. The most outrageous claim by this author was in his last paragraph where he stated that “practically no one believes in

Olympic galas show of excess at wrong time On the eve of my eighth decade, I am contemplating the spectacular performances and events at the current Olympic Games. Fleetingly, my thoughts return to Games of long ago, when all were amateurs (e.g. Chariots of Fire) and the great names included Owens, Zatopek, Nuurmi, Haag, etc. Champions all. Today our world is in a chaotic state. Desperate human needs are being thwarted by a lack of funds, we are told (let them eat cake). Coincidentally, extravagant and garish opening and closing Olympic ceremonies – likely for commercial profit – belie this sickening refrain. Public liability is the likely cost (remember Montreal in 1976?). It reminds one of Nero fiddling while Rome burned.

considerable cost to the value of the neighbourhood and could quite possibly result in a class action lawsuit against the town, if approved. What do we want our waterfront to look like in years to come? Do we want to lose our present-day view lines? Do we want to “make our community a better place”? We hope so. We again suggest town council not consider allowing such a thing to take place. With deep concern, we will encourage many others to take a stand. Anna and Joe Brown Sidney

global warming and there is no evidence to suggest carbon dioxide has any effect on global temperatures.” If the author is intending the meaning of “practically” to suggest that “nearly” no one believes in global warming then this is a blatant falsehood. Most climate and ocean scientists are in agreement and recent polls have demonstrated that up to 80 per cent of Canadians believe that the science of climate change is real. Unfortunately, there still are the deniers and they seem to fall into three categories: those who are blissfully ignorant, those whose comprehension is challenged by the science and lastly, those who are deliberately denying the seriousness of the anthropogenic impact on global warming for personal gain.

What has all this showmanship to do with athletic excellence and prowess? Certainly, all praise to the athletes and huge congratulations to medal winners, but please, cut the cost of the carnivals.

Keeping, transporting deer carries cost I earned a living in game management before retirement, so it’s easy for me to form my own opinion on the deer problem. And before the many compassionate Walt Disney types get excited – long eyelashes and big ears are deadly – I would
hate to be informed that the problem animals have been sent to another country on holiday. I’ve heard they want another $130 a month to keep the rabbits that were sent down there. Whilst the West Coast is certainly not the U.K., I wonder how many readers know that six species of deer roam the British Isles and in excess of two million a year, a population which is now exploding and despite the culling of 350,000 a year, continues to increase. Because of their secretive and nocturnal habits, their numbers are difficult to assess and are becoming very problematic. Please, good people of Victoria, if you’ve got money to spare, remember the cancer fund, remember our new public house is three times as big as our new cancer hospital. Stan Fisher Oak Bay

A man was arrested after being found inside an allegedly stolen truck that rolled over on the Pat Bay Highway on Sunday. The incident began around 1:40 p.m. when the On Star navigation system inside a 2012 Chevrolet Colorado pickup alerted police the vehicle was being stolen. It was taken from a hotel parking lot in the 3300 block of Douglas Street in Victoria. The truck’s owner also reported it stolen. The truck was tracked through Victoria and Saanich into Central Saanich, where police tried to follow it, but heavy traffic made a pursuit unsafe. Just before 3 p.m., Central Saanich officers learned the truck rolled off the highway at Island View Road. They found a suspect inside, uninjured, and arrested the 33-yearold man. Police recommended charges of theft over $5,000, possession of stolen property over $5,000, dangerous driving, causing a police pursuit and failing to stop for police.

A little less paint this year Devon MacKenzie News staff
A smaller group of artists turned out for this year’s Plein Air Paint Out in Sidney, but event organizer Odette Laroche said the event was still a success. “We did have [fewer] artists participating this year, but the ones who came are the ones who come consistently every year,” Laroche said. “We also sold more paintings than ever before so that was great.”
Laroche said participation was down about half, from last year’s attendance of 45 artists to 25 this year. Laroche cited personal difficulties, travel plans and illnesses among artists as the main interferences with participation. “It’s common in the art world to cancel classes and workshops due to [low] registration, however the Paint Out goes on as scheduled no matter what the numbers are,” she said. Sidney Mayor Larry Cross was
on hand to award prizes to the winning artists at the bandshell in Beacon Park. First place went to Judy McLaren from North Saanich who produced an oil painting of children. Second place went to Victoria’s Jim McFarland and third went to John Hofman of Nanaimo. Select paintings from the Plein Air Paint Out are on display at the Mary Winspear Centre until Aug. 22. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Five long weekend speeders slapped with big tickets

The B.C. Day long weekend was expensive for a few men. On Aug. 5 a Central Saanich officer clocked a driver on West Saanich Road at 130 km/h. The officer later found the vehicle on Wallace Drive and gave the young driver a $483 speeding ticket and a seven day vehicle impound. Central Saanich and Sidney North Saanich RCMP officers set up a speed trap northbound on the Pat Bay Highway at Amity Drive on Aug. 4. They clocked one driver at 146 km/h in the 90 zone. The 27-year-old Victoria man was issued a hefty $483 ticket and his

later the phone rang. It was one of the uniformed members of the Fort Nelson detachment. “We found his vehicle on the Muskwa River Bridge, there’s a suicide note inside and he’s nowhere to be found.” We rushed down to the detachment to co-ordinate a search. Two members from the Fort Nelson detachment pre-emptively scurried through the bush downstream from the bridge and located the principal. He was injured and slightly hypothermic, but miraculously still alive. Since the time of this incident, the principal has been tried and convicted of accessing child pornography. Justice Meiklem stated that the apparent suicide attempt seemed somewhat indicative of his guilt. In Canada the mandatory minimum sentence for a person convicted, by indictment, of possessing or accessing child pornography is 45 days in jail. The principal received a five month sentence and three years probation upon his release. He is also a registered sex offender and won’t ever be able to work with children again. This story exemplifies how one person’s crime can devastate a family and a whole community. People in possession of images and videos of child pornography fail to realize that those images and videos represent permanent records of children being sexually abused. Having possession of such items is indicative of a person’s sexual interest in children and police tirelessly continue to identify these predators in our communities. Cpl. Erin Fraser is a supervisor and the media liaison officer for the Sidney North Saanich RCMP.

Sam HANSEN May 23, 1913 - May 23, 2012 With sadness the family announces the passing of Sam Hansen, who left us Peacefully in the early morning hours of his 99th birthday. Just as he said he would, seemingly in control right to the end, even skipping out on his birthday party. Sam was pre-deceased by his wife of 72 years Marion who left us March 2, 2008. He is survived by his daughter Leah (Robert) Cyr, granddaughters Carmel (Ron) Graham and Susanne Douma, great-grandchildren Myia, Brie and Keenan. Sam left many relatives and friends behind who are all saddened by his leave, each with their own memories of time they shared. He cared for them all and was a trusted friend. Sam was born May 23, 1913 to Charles and Katherine Hansen in Rimbey, Alberta, the youngest of seven children. He was named after Sam Rimbey, who when seeing the newborn boy suggested that if they wanted him to amount to anything they should name him Sam. At age 16 Sam went to Edmonton to work in the glass business with his brother in-law Bob Livingstone, and at age 21 began Crystal Glass in Calgary, the same year he and Marion married. Sam built a vibrant business which he sold to Speedy Auto Glass. Upon retirement in 1972, Sam and Marion moved to Sidney where he became an avid sports ďŹ sherman and gardener amongst other varied interests and friends. Sam lived a long and healthy life almost right to the end, and for this we are so grateful. Sam was a Titan on Earth with his amazing longevity and strength but what we all miss now is the twinkle in his eye, his broad shoulders, and his wisdom. Our love goes with you forever “Papa Samâ€?. Now you are a Legend in your family. Sam’s family wishes to extend their gratitude to his good friend George King, whose friendship meant the world to Sam and the outings that made Sam’s world much better. Thank you so much George! We also thank the Caregivers, Nurses, Volunteers, Support Sta and Dr Kennedy for their kind and thoughtful care both at home and at Saanich Peninsula Hospital. At Sam’s request no funeral will be held. Sam’s remains will be scattered together with those of Marion, in a private family garden at their home, bearing a Flowering Dogwood Tree and Roses in their memory.
