Labour dispute on back burner as schools open ‘Mixed emotions’ as teachers take on full duties after a year of work-to-rule Natalie North News staff
The relationship between B.C. teachers remains on the mend, but a new teachers contract has put discord on temporary hiatus as schools in Greater Victoria opened up this week – although not everyone was celebrating. “It’s mixed emotions for sure,” said Sean Hayes, president of the Saanich School District Teachers’ Association. “It’s relief that we’re entering the school year in a much more settled state with the prospects of a quiet and relatively peaceful year. “That’s a relief, but we’re also not happy because the major issues for teachers remain unchanged: oversized classes, poor support for special needs students and dwindling resources.” After a year of stalled contract negotiations and six months of work-to-rule job action culminated in a walkout last March, B.C.’s 41,000 public school teachers came to a collective agreement on June 26. The short-term contract, which is valid just until just June 2013, offered some degree of relief for Hayes. But others, such as Greater Victoria Teachers’ Association president Tara Ehrcke, stood vehemently

against the plan. Though unlikely, Ehrcke said, the possibility exists of job disruptions through the fall. “There will be a lot of teachers returning to school this fall with a real sense of disappointment and that we’re also going to see some larger classes than we’ve seen in a number of years,” Ehrcke said. “I wouldn’t be surprised to see individual teachers taking a step back from some extracurricular activities, simply because they have larger classes and more responsibilities.” Although people are happy to be heading back to work fully and completely, Hayes said, people are upset about how the last round of bargaining went. “There may be a little holdover,” he added. During an Aug. 28 teleconference, Education Minister George Abbott said he was hoping for a much more positive, harmonious year in terms of labour relations. “We do have the second year of the two-year agreement still to go,” Abbott said. “That will likely see, perhaps in March or April, a recommencement of bargaining discussions, but I’m hoping that this year gives us an opportunity to try to build at least a little better relationship between government and the teachers’ federation and between government

If not for the welcome back message Rob Greaves writes on the white board in his North Saanich Middle School classroom, the upside-down stools atop unoccupied desks give the impression that school’s still out for the summer. Classes at all schools started up again yesterday. educational partners, including the teachers’ federation.” Abbott will not be involved in much of those discussions, however, since after 16 years as an MLA, he announced Thursday that he would not seek re-election in the spring. “We’ve been in the same drama for 40 years,” said Thomas Fleming, University of Victoria professor emeritus in education. “Teachers complaining about government; government saying teachers are withholding services. The dialogue doesn’t change; the actors don’t change. Essentially this dialogue is no dialogue. It’s not going any place. It’s a system built for another age.” Despite the history of unrest
at the provincial level, teachers and administrators are expecting a relatively calm school year across the region. After 11 years as superintendent of the Greater Victoria School District, John Gaiptman said 2011-12 was by far the most difficult year in the role, and like others on both sides of the dispute at the local level, he’s looking forward to a smoother road ahead. “Last year was a tough year on everybody,” Gaiptman said. “This year we are really focused on the important things and the important thing is creating classes that are flexible and relevant and engaging for our students … that will be the reason for any actions we take.” nnorth@saanichnews.com

Fundraisers shine for Star Cinema Saanich schools open Movie theatre seeks funds to stay afloat Devon MacKenzie News staff
Star Cinema has sealed a deal to get new seating and is getting closer to its fundraising goal to purchase new digital projectors. The theatre has been raising funds for a few months to make much-needed improvements to the community movie theatre, which has served Sidney for 14 years. “We only started [raising money] three months ago so it’s really encouraging that the community has come together to help out this much,” said theatre manager Lindsay Pomper. “It’s amazing to see the community come together and respond like this and we are so grateful.” The theatre was selling seats to raise money to upgrade them.

The Saanich School District has partnered with the Peninsula Recreation Commission to provide enhanced recreation and leisure services to residents of the Saanich Peninsula through a program dubbed Neighbourhood of Learning. “What we’ve done through the partnership is essentially opted to make use of schools during evenings and weekends so that the community has use of another recreation facility,” said Martine King, assistant community recreation co-ordinator for Panorama. The Neighbourhood of Learning centre is located at the new North Saanich middle school and will give the community access to meeting facilities, the gymnasium and multi-purpose room, the fine arts centre, the woodworking and home-ec centres, and various fitness activities. Panorama will be hosting a grand opening on Saturday (Sept. 8) to introduce the community to what the Neighbourhood of Learning will offer. During the opening, Panorama will provide demonstrations of some of the fall programs that will be offered at the school, including fitness programs, cooking demonstrations, badminton and pickleball games, and activities for children and families. “This will be a great opportunity for the community to come out the new facility and see what it has to offer,” King said of the event. The opening on Sept. 8 runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at North Saanich middle school (10400 McDonald Park Dr.). reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Student groups rally behind CRD on transit
#BS t .BSUJOJ ( BNFT t $BTJOP H t %BODJO t 4JMFOU DUJPOT -JWF "V
Daniel Palmer News staff
Greater Victoria students are throwing their support behind the region’s municipalities that want greater control over B.C. Transit. Both the University of Victoria and Camosun College student societies are urging B.C. Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom to give the Capital Regional District control of transportation planning. “The biggest issue facing students in the transit system is students being left behind on buses both on and off campus,� said Lucia Orser, UVSS director of external relations. Lekstrom appointed a review panel in March after complaints that the provincially appointed B.C. Transit board was making costly changes without consulting the communities, whose fares and property taxes cover more than half the cost of transit service. He has promised to respond to the recommendations of the panel during the Union of B.C. Municipalities conference in September. “The CRD has the ability to raise revenues other than from property taxes and fares, which is the (revenue) system B.C. Transit operates on,� said Madeline Keller-MacLeod, Camosun’s student society spokesperson. Bus pass-ups are still commonplace for more than 30,000 UVic and Camosun students that commute each day to and from campus, she said. “It’s not just during peak hours, it’s throughout the day as well.�

Orser said environmental factors also weigh heavily on the student unions’ decision to support CRD control of transit planning. “Transportation accounts for the largest share of greenhouse gases emitted in the Capital Region,� she said. “If we are serious about transitioning off fossil fuels, we need to create local, livable communities that promote active transportation options such as walking, cycling and public transit.� Keller-MacLeod said both student unions have requested a meeting with Lekstrom. dpalmer@vicnews.com
More hours to reduce pass-ups ■B.C. Transit is adding 5,000 service hours to better serve University of Victoria and Camosun College students who have been impacted by high demand and crowded buses. The changes took effect Sept. 4. ■The Victoria Regional Transit Commission voted to reinstate the 7,000 service hours that were cut last year. Of that, 2,000 hours will be for handyDART runs.

North Saanich tackles dense housing projects Devon MacKenzie News staff
Two multi-density housing developments are one step closer to becoming realized in North Saanich. A proposed development at 1950 John Rd., which had been approved by the previous council in 2011 and then retracted by the developer, got the go-ahead on Aug. 20 to move to the planning and public consultation processes. A planned development at 9395 East Saanich Rd., which council, at the same meeting, unanimously agreed needed another look by staff, will come back to council, likely at their next meeting, Coun. Celia Stock said. “Staff will come back to us with recommendations on the topics of the final plans for the project and the amenity contribution plan,” Stock said. “Presumably the developer will also provide a new plan and [will] have also moved ahead with a time and date to meet with residents,” she said, noting council had not been provided an up-todate plan on what the John Road development would look like after the developer changed the plan from one 11-unit building to two 11-unit buildings.

Vision Matters Dr. Paul Neumann
Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.
Changes in Your Vision You may find it disturbing if you are not seeing things as clearly and sharply as you used to, but as people get older, certain changes in their vision will occur. For example, the pupils of the eyes tend to become smaller, and the crystalline lenses inside the eyes become less clear. You may need more light to see and read comfortably. The decrease in clarity of the crystalline lenses tends to scatter the light entering the eye. This can sometimes cause a fogging of vision or a decreased tolerance to bright headlight glare. As people age the eyes’ focusing ability decreases and it may become more difficult to change focus from distant to near objects and vice versa. These are just a few of the changes in your eyes that may be interfering with your ability to see well and comfortably. If you are experiencing any of these changes in your eyes or if you have other vision problems you feel need attention, have your eyes examined by your Optometrist.

Schools get back to the real job T
he summer holiday is over and school kids are back in the classrooms for another 10 months of education. Along with the ABCs and three Rs, this year they might even get report cards. This year students and their parents don’t have to worry about scrapped after-school activities or navigating the simmering tensions between teachers and administrators. In September 2011, students entered classrooms with teachers on a work-to-rule job action. Instruction didn’t stop, but teachers didn’t write report cards, wouldn’t host parentteacher conferences after school hours and in some cases, coaching for sports teams was taken over by volunteer parents. In the Sooke School District, for one, the administrators – principals, vice-principals, superintendents, managers – scrambled to cover watching elementary kids at recess and after school at schools between Sooke and Langford. A three-day strike in March capped off a terrible year in public education. This year classrooms are somewhat back to normal, but the labour war between teachers and government remains – especially with the issue of class size and composition. The B.C. Teachers’ Federation is suing the government to regain bargaining rights over these points, and to challenge the hated Bill 22. BCTF has a court date in December. This kind of posturing could be moot. Education Minister George Abbott said that he expects the next round of bargaining with teachers to begin next March or April 2013, mere months before next provincial election. By then Abbott, and many other high-profile Liberals, will be coasting toward retirement. This awkward gap between the start of the school year now and the likely demise of the ruling Liberal government means it could be a quiet year for labour relations in education. The BCTF won’t waste its time seriously negotiating with a lame-duck administration when it could re-start negotiations with a more labour-friendly NDP government. Outgoing Liberals will be more than happy to hand this hornet’s nest to their friends across the aisle.

Emissions from mined oil sands crude are slightly higher than steam extraction, which is slightly higher than conventionally drilled and pumped crude. The most greenhouse gas-intensive crude used in North America is California heavy crude, which is conventionally drilled. Burning coal produces far more greenhouse gases than oil, as University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver has calculated. Two U.S. environmental groups, including the one fronted by Redford, have lately been promoting a study that suggests oil sands crude is more corrosive to pipelines. False, says the industry, showing analysis of pipes that have carried diluted bitumen for decades. The Trans-Mountain pipeline has been carrying crude from Alberta to Burnaby and Washington state for more than 60 years. It has periodically carried heavy crude for 40 years, and diluted bitumen for 25 years. Some of that crude is refined in Washington and the gasoline and diesel barged up to supply B.C. gas stations. And of course Vancouver Island, Haida Gwaii and all other B.C. islands depend on marine fuel shipments. And let’s not forget the most common heavy oil used in B.C. It’s called asphalt. – Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

LETTERS Readers respond: Be aware of composting’s impact on your neighbourhood Re: Compost: farm or industry (News Review, Aug. 8) We should all be aware of the large-scale compost issue because if Central Saanich decides farms can operate commercially by selling their compost, a farm at any location can open up for business. Here are some of the changes you could expect: • Your road may be designated a trucking route, (the bylaw was amended on the no-thru section of Lochside south of Martindale to provide access to Stanhope Farm; it is a residential section of the Lochside Regional Trail busy with bikers, horses and pedestrians.); • You may be told there will be four or five trucks a day Monday to Friday. Be ready for four to five double-dump trucks every half hour on a busy day, every hour on a quiet day; • Central Saanich may or may not do roadwork or post signs; It may be very noisy, dusty and smelly; The nature of the area you live may now feel more industrial than rural; • You may have to meet with neighbors, learn the local laws, go to council meet-

ings, write letters and pay to hire your own lawyer if it is needed, and it may take a lot of time and require a concerted effort to stop this from happening in your community. Composting is an intelligent, environmental practice that I support, but the scale and location of an operation should be considered as a part of the greater community. I hope Central Saanich council has the vision to see the bigger picture. Barbara Goddard Central Saanich
Eating contests at fair disgusting and shameful Leafing through the Saanich Fair program, looking at Page 5 made it difficult for me to keep my breakfast down. Featured is an eating contest – are we as desperate as our neighbours to the south to promote such an appalling event, and delight in watching people gorging themselves? In a time of economic hardship for many families, the food bank is in desperate need of donations. These contests are exposing children to a display of contempt for the value of having a daily supply of food. It is sickening. I trust the event was appropriately staged in the pig pen, so that participants were able to mingle with the other pigs. Juergen Peters Saanichton

Bicycles shouldn’t have to be licensed Re: Cyclists ought to be licensed, fees should be used to pay for paths (Letters, Aug. 29) Implying that bicycles be licensed is a suggestion that would be unworkable. It is doubtful the police would enforce such a law as they already do not enforce the helmet law, nor do
they enforce the law that requires a car when passing a bike pull completely into another lane. If bicycles are required to pay for their use of the roads and trails, what’s next? Charging pedestrians to walk along the road side? There are many problems on our roads and trails, mostly caused by the varieties of forms of transportation. With the increase of unlicensed electric scooters (mostly used by seniors), then include pedestrians, then cyclists in three classes (commuter or recreational and children). For more confusion add horses and, of course, cars, and finally large trucks. All operate differently and it is time that the highway act was rewritten and not just a couple of new clauses added to an old and tired piece of legislation. This should become an election issue next May. Norm Ryder Central Saanich
Bike licence money wouldn’t be enough to construct paths Re: Cyclists ought to be licensed, fees should be used to pay for paths (Letters, Aug. 29) Marta Ofstie suggests that if cyclists paid a licence fee, there would suddenly be copious amounts of money for creating dedicated bike paths. I respectfully suggest that if one were to do the math, the amount of money generated (after the no doubt top-heavy administration involved) might be enough to create about twenty feet of bike lane. Ms. Ofstie also asked: “Who is paying for all these bike paths?” The answer is: the same individuals who pay for all of the roads in general. All of us do, as funds for roads come out of general revenue to which all taxpayers contribute – cyclists included (who, incidentally, are likely also motorists). They are not funded through fuel tax or licence fees. Does she also feel that pedestrians should be licensed to help pay for the sidewalks?
Given the near zero wear and tear from cyclists to our roadways, the subsequent health benefits from cycling, and the zero pollution emitted from cycling, it is backwards thinking to come to such punitive and myopic ideas of licensing cyclists. In addition, a cyclist operating licence is not required for police officers to enforce the existing traffic rules. Cyclists are already regulated by the highway act. C. Franks North Saanich
God doesn’t have a problem with same-sex partnerships Re: Plenty of proof God disproves of gay marriage (Letters, Aug. 24) For God’s opinion on same sex relationships, your reader suggests we read her cherry-picked biblical selections. I have done that and I do not see that the Bible coincides with her interpretation. In this age of enlightenment, the harsh biblical directives on marriage would not result in the healthy, loving and equal partnership one aspires to. As for the quote about only ‘one husband and one wife’, King David had not only many wives, but also many concubines and fathered 13 children. There is no record of God having a problem with that.

Hendrika Vantriet knows firsthand what it’s like to have an addiction. While today she lives a clean and sober life, it wasn’t that way a few years back. “I was in a relationship that wasn’t going so well. I was totally pushed in a corner and I couldn’t get out. I started to make my life more bearable by drinking,” she says. “That worked for a while. All I cared about was laying on the couch with a bottle beside me.” One day, with her health deteriorating quickly, Vantriet realized the shape she was in. “I thought, ‘If I keep this up, I’m going to be dead in three weeks,’” she recalls. Through detox, stabilization and recovery, Vantriet overcame her substance abuse issues. She’s been sober for two-and-a-half years now. It was in detox when she was introduced to LifeRing, a support group for people with drug or alcohol addictions. Unlike the most well known addiction support programs, Alcoholics and Narcotics Anonymous, LifeRing is a secular organization and doesn’t use a fixed, 12-step structure to overcome addictions. “The support comes from the group itself. When a meeting starts we check in, and the question is always, ‘How was your week?’” Vantriet says. “We talk about the challenges and the upcoming week, and the conversation goes around what people are struggling from.” The members of the support group, which is usually about a dozen people in size, discuss each other’s struggles, and offer advice and support to one another. “It’s very positive. And it’s a comfortable setting,” she says.
Tim Stockwell, director of the Centre for Addictions Research of B.C. at the University of Victoria, says both mutual support groups, like LifeRing, and rigid support programs, like AA or NA, can be beneficial to different people in different ways. “While AA is perhaps the most successful selfhelp organization in history … a new addition like LifeRing broadens peoples choices. I recommend people wishing to get support for combating (addiction) consider both organizations and find out which suits them best,” he said. Dan Reist, also with CARBC, says the recovery process, with or without a support program, requires the individual with an addiction to take responsibility for their life. “”When the group sets itself up as the authority and seeks to impose a solution on the individual, it risks harming more than it helps,” he says. LifeRing meetings begin tomorrow (Sept. 6) in Sidney. They will be held once a week, on Thursdays at 7:30 p.m., at St. Elizabeth’s Church. Vantriet will facilitate the Sidney meetings, having previously run meetings in Victoria. “All (the facilitators) have been through something similar. We all know what addiction is, we have all experienced the cravings and the dreams, so we can talk from our own experiences, and what helped us,” she says. Vantriet’s message to anyone struggling with an addiction is that first call for help, though difficult, is the most rewarding thing you can do for yourself. “I learned that I was way stronger than I thought I was. You learn to take care of yourself, and put yourself first, and heal yourself first. You can feel yourself growing stronger, and enjoying life,” she says. “I now live a peaceful existence.” For more information, visit LifeRingCanada.org. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Deer decision expected today Brittany Lee News staff
The Capital Regional District’s deer management advisory committee is one step closer to submitting its final report to the CRD board. The 10-member citizen’s advisory group is expecting to have final recommendations to the CRD Planning, Transportation and Protective services Committee’s meeting today (Sept. 5). It then goes to the CRD board. The group has been meeting regularly since the beginning of May. A report to the CRD was initially expected in July, but the board decided to continue meetings in order to extend discussions about possible strategies. “Because we have so many different landscapes (agricultural, rural, and urban) fairly close to each other within the area covered by the CRD, the (advisory group) has had to address all the management options available from the perspective of each landscape’s residents,” committee chair Jocelyn Skrlac told the News Review in an email. The committee has studied numerous known practices to find safe and effective ways to deal with deer on
private property, she said, noting “there is no one solution to fit all CRD landscapes.” Among the recommendations considered have been capturing and relocating deer, using repellants, better educating the public, undertaking a controlled public hunt or professional sharpshooting for a cull, feeding deer immunocontraceptives, capturing and euthanizing the animals, installing fencing, and taking no action. Actions taken could involve any combination of solutions. Members of the public have been able to provide their input on each management option through the CRD website since early July. The group’s final report will include short-term, medium-term, and longterm suggestions, with strategies that could be implemented almost immediately, and others within five to 10 years. “The efficacy and sustainability of control methods will also have to be monitored, as the (group’s) recommendations for today’s (regional deer management strategy) may change over time,” Skrlac said.

Four more B.C. Liberals bowing out Tom Fletcher Black Press
Education minister George Abbott confirmed last week he is following his fellow B.C. Liberal leadership contender Kevin Falcon into political retirement. Chilliwack MLA John Les also announced last Thursday that he will not run in the 2013 election, and a Children and Family Development Minister Mary McNeil released a statement saying she has made the same decision. Falcon, the three-term MLA for SurreyCloverdale, resigned as finance minister last Wednesday. Premier Christy Clark said all MLAs have been asked to declare their intentions by the end of the summer, and she will unveil a cabinet shuffle next week. Abbott, MLA for Shuswap, said he expects to be dropped from cabinet as the B.C. Liberal election team is assembled, but he plans to continue to work on the election platform as he serves out his fourth term as MLA. With a total of 33 years in elected office at the local and provincial level, and at age 59, Abbott said he will not be making any comebacks in the future. Abbott previously served as health and aboriginal relations minister. McNeil, elected MLA for Vancouver-False Creek in 2009, was appointed to the children’s ministry by Clark last year. Les issued a statement from his constituency office, saying it was a difficult decision to leave a political career that started as a Chilliwack councillor in 1983 and four terms as a B.C. Liberal MLA. A former public safety minister, Les has most recently served as parliamentary secretary to the premier. “I trust I have been able to represent the
people of Chilliwack well and hope they will forgive any shortcomings on my part,” Les said. Falcon, Les and McNeil have all confirmed they will serve out their current terms until the election set for May 2013. Premier Christy Clark issued a statement praising all three retiring MLAs. Commenting on Falcon’s decision Wednesday, Clark downplayed the departures and said the turnover offers a chance for renewal. NDP leader Adrian Dix contrasted the departure of former leadership candidates Abbott and Falcon with his team, where his leadership rivals Mike Farnworth and John Horgan are staying on along with former leader Carole James. Dix agreed with Abbott’s assessment that Clark is a great campaigner, but added that doesn’t change the fact that the main government initiative since the 2009 election is the rejected harmonized sales tax. “What B.C. needs is a better government, not a better campaigner,” Dix said. Other B.C. Liberals who have announced they are not running again include Saanich North MLA Murray Coell, Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Kevin Krueger, BurnabyLougheed MLA Harry Bloy, Vancouver-Fairview MLA Kash Heed, Surrey-Tynehead MLA Dave Hayer and Penticton MLA Bill Barisoff. Former cabinet ministers Barry Penner and Iain Black resigned their seats last year and have been replaced by NDP MLAs in a pair of by-elections. Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen quit the B.C. Liberal Party in March and joined the B.C. Conservatives. NDP MLAs Dawn Black (New Westminster) and Mike Sather (Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows) have announced they are retiring next year, and Dix said there may be more. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Community rallies around tot with rare cancer News staff
Charmaine Partington’s heart sank when she heard about a young Langford girl with cancer. Three-year-old Hannah Day is being treated for Stage 4 rhabdomyosarcoma at B.C. Children’s hospital. Even though Partington has never met Day or her family, the young girl’s story hit close to home. “I thought, ‘what if this happened to my kid?’” said Partington, whose daughter Alicia is close in age to Hannah. “It’s hard to hand over money you don’t have, but since I’ve had Alicia I’ve seen how important community is.” After thinking about the sick tot, Partington decided she had to do something for the family. Both of Day’s parents have stopped working to be at their daughter’s bedside. At first Partington headed to the kitchen and baked some cookies with two-and-a-half-year-old Alicia. The next day, Partington sold the cookies at her work and collected $34 for the family. Still wanting to do more, Partington decided to organize a garage

sale. It seemed fitting since she first heard of Day’s struggle through a Facebook page “Victoria moms swap and shop,” a group of parents selling children’s used items. “I was sure each one of us have a bag of items we can donate,” Partington said. Gordon United Church donated the space for the fundraiser and Partington has been collecting children’s items such as clothing, toys, books, bedding and maternity items to sell. Hearing about a sick toddler is one thing, but when Partington heard about the family’s history she had to spring into action. Day and her family fell victim to a fire at Day’s Welding and Fabricating on Dunford Avenue, Jan. 2, 2011. Not only did the family lose its business but they lived in a suite in the building. The family lost everything. Hannah Day was admitted to the B.C. Children’s Hospital Aug. 2. She also has a younger sister who is being cared for by other family members. This is the second known case of rhabdomyosarcoma hitting the West Shore in recent years. Delaney Dunlop, an 18-year-old from Metcho-

Introducing Ryder Raccoon

$
100% of proceeds from Ryder Raccoon sales go to the 2012 Tour de Rock Cops for Cancer Campaign. Available exclusively at select Peninsula Co-op locations.
Riding for the kids
Exactly how much is an inch of water?
Your purchase of Ryder Raccoon is the wonderful gift of helping a child with their fight against cancer.
And how do you measure it?
An inch of water a week – from rainfall & watering – is all the water your lawn needs to stay healthy. More than one inch of water, and you risk weak, shallow roots, and damage by fungus, weeds, diseases and pests.
Last year because of your tremendous support of Tour de Rock, Peninsula Co-op and seven other Vancouver Island Co-ops jointly donated $80,000 to this cause.
Get a watering gauge FREE! If you have a water bill account number in the Greater Victoria area call 250.474.9684 for a free watering gauge. Watering gauges make it easy to see how much water your lawn is getting. For more information visit www.crd.bc.ca/water or call 250.474.9684 for a Waterfacts sheet on how to measure how much water your lawn is getting.
Tour de Rock riders Kathryn Goodyear, left, and Bob McDonald ride along Beacon Avenue last Thursday (Aug. 30) during their 24-hour ride to raise money for Cops for Cancer. Already fatigued when this photo was taken – at 9:10 a.m. – the pair rode for another 10 hours, raising thousands of dollars for pediatric cancer research. Kyle Slavin/News staff

Bring your plants inside Oh I wish I had killed that white butterfly when I had the chance, but I didn’t. Now you wouldn’t believe what she has done to my lovely Brussels sprouts. They are probably not worth saving. She must have snuck in when my back was turned and laid a mass of eggs, and not on one plant, but all of them, the wicked thing! They were such beautiful plants, but no longer. No sprouts this year, not here, anyway. I’ve been out to check for the caterpillars that hatched from her Helen Lang eggs, and ate the leaves Over the Garden but they, too, have vanFence ished (with full stomachs!). Where have they gone? A garden, even one as small as mine, is full of mysteries, and I suppose that’s one reason gardening is so interesting (and at times so exasperating). I went out last night to see if the caterpillars were night marauders but there wasn’t a sign of anyone, or anything, just those pathetic torn leaves. I felt around in the soil, thinking they might bury themselves until no one was around, but no luck there either. I’m going to leave what remains of the sprouts to see if long stalks will eventually appear, covered with lovely fat sprouts, of course. Fat chance! I may as well put in some shallot seed, maybe they will survive, although it is kind of late
to expect much to grow as the weather cools. It’s time to decide where you are going to put the plants that spent the summer outdoors. They likely have grown mightily, and now need larger pots – I tell you there is no rest for us gardeners. Plants need to come back inside before the nights get cooler. The temperature inside and out should be close to the same, so that moving them won’t be too much of a shock. They would likely survive even if temperatures are considerably different, but they show their annoyance by turning leaves yellow, and eventually dropping them. It’s easier to just bring them inside soon. Before bringing in plants examine them for passengers. Smart earwigs and clever snails will have hidden themselves in any spot where they can get inside without being observed, so give plants a thorough once-over. Even insects enjoy a winter holiday in a warm place – Phoenix, anyone? For those of you growing tomatoes, this is for you: time now to cut off all blossoms. Cher “stresses” her tomatoes by stopping watering, which seems to encourage them to turn red. She also cuts off a lot of foliage to expose the fruit to the sun. I have already suggested that you can pick ones almost ripe and put them in a brown paper bag with a ripe apple, which also ripens them. But Cher objects to this, saying fruit that ripens on the vine is sweeter. This may be a matter of debate, but choose the method that appeals to you, I’m pretty sure both ways work. Helen Lang has been the Peninsula News Review’s gardening columnist for more than 30 years.

NEWS REVIEW
Panthers to take on Westshore Wolves in home opener Devon MacKenzie News staff
Gordon Lee Photography
Peninsula Panthers goaltender Stephen Heslop snakes out his left leg in double-overtime in Game 7 last season, thwarting Saanich Braves forward Matt Biagioni in his attempt to fire the overtime winner. Heslop and the Panthers would go on to win the series only seconds later.
The Peninsula Panthers kick off their 2012/13 season this week with their home opener against the Westshore Wolves on Sept. 7 at Panorama Recreation Centre at 7:30 p.m. The match up between the Panthers and the Wolves, a first-year team, will be an interesting one, said the Panthers owner Pete Zubersky, adding the Wolves have stacked their roster with junior B veterans, including three players who were off-loaded in the summer by the Panthers franchise: Josh Bloomenthal, Chris McDonald and Kayle Ramsay. The Panthers have chosen to go young this year, returning only a handful of veterans for
the 2012/13 season. Zubersky said it is a tried and true method he’s used before with Panthers squads. “We’re going back to the ways which brought this franchise success, and that was taking the best young kids we could get our hands on and letting them learn in junior hockey on the fly,” he said, adding: “we have a lot of skill, some good size and [good people]. I expect and demand that we always outwork the opponent and this style of play will be entertaining for our fans. We have much more depth than last season, and should be able to roll out four lines and all of them should be able to do some damage.” One of the veterans returning to the Panthers is their goaltender, Stephen Heslop, who

jumped into the team’s lineup in the playoffs last season. The 16-year-old stood on his head time and time again, Zubersky said, helping lead the Panthers into the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League series before bowing to the arch-rival Victoria Cougars. Heslop had just been released by the Cowichan Capitals junior A squad two weeks prior when he phoned Zubersky. “Stephen was actually upbeat after getting the axe [from Cowichan],” Zubersky said. “The first words out of his mouth were that he could barely wait for the [Panthers’] home opener. This kid is something else – he has so much unrealized talent and I fully expect he will bring it this season.” sports@peninsulanewsreview.com

rison. “There are a lot of talented riders out there [including] riders from all over B.C. and Alberta. It took me the three tries to reach the top ten, but I love the challenge.”

North Saanich teen Dillon Morrison rode to success last month as he found his way to the top 10 in one of three B.C. Cup Downhill mountain bike races he competed in this summer. Morrison, 14, placed 17th at the first U17 B.C. Cup race he competed in this summer, held July 15 at SunPeaks. In his second downhill competition, held July 22 at Silver Star, he finished 11th. But he cracked the top 10 at his third competition, held Aug. 26 at Mt. Washington, finishing 7th overall. “The competition is definitely tough,” said Mor-

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Wednesday, September 5, 2012
Sidney lawn bowler wins silver at nationals Kyle Slavin News staff
A Sidney lawn bowler is sporting some new hardware after earning a silver medal at last month’s nationals tournament in Montreal. Anne VanBastelaere, 66, secured a second-place victory at the Canadian National Lawn Bowling Championships in the ladies fours category after six long days (Aug. 20-25) of play. “When you get into this level, you really have to prepare for it, be up for it, and go there with that kind of focus so you can concentrate all day. We’re playing seven complete hours, six days straight,” VanBastelaere said. The Peninsula woman, who’s been bowling for 16 years, was joined on B.C.’s ladies fours team by three Vancouver-based bowlers. The team won seven of its nine games in round robin play, but lost to the Manitoba team in the gold-medal match. It was VanBastelaere’s fifth trip to nationals, where she’s won previous medals in single, triples and fours play. “When I go to the nationals, I recognize people from all the other provinces, and it’s like old friends when we get together and see each other,” she said. The camaraderie and positive social aspect of the game is what’s kept VanBastelaere coming back to bowl. “It’s a really nice sport. Everyone’s very polite,” she said. “It’s a lot of fun.” And a knack for the sport runs in the family. While VanBastelaere began playing because of her parents, her granddaughter Katelyn Brierley, is one the best under-25 players in Canada. VanBastelaere bowls out of the Sidney Lawn Bowling Club, located near Tulista Park, which runs games and events year-round.

One of the most tiring events at the B.C. Seniors Games is the weight pentathlon, which sees competitors compete in five throwing competitions in one day. So it wasn’t surprising that Peninsula Track’s Sandy Anderson, 72, found her gold medal hanging a bit heavy around her neck in the late afternoon. At the 25th B.C. Seniors Games in Burnaby, held Aug. 21 to 25, Anderson collected a winning total of 2932 points from her performances in the hammer, shot put, discus, javelin and weight throw combined events. But the gold medal earned in weight throw was not the only one she brought back to the Island. Anderson also earned gold in the high jump (1.15m) and the individual discus event (16.39m), and added silver medals in the individual hammer (20.04m), shot (6.57m) and weight (8.02m) throws. She also snagged bronze in the individual javelin (16.28m) and the 4x100m relay event. Helping to swell the Pen Track’s bullion haul were the five gold medals won by Les East, 72. Beating his own provincial record of 1.29m set just a few weeks ago, East cleared a first place 1.30m in the high jump to set a new masters standard, and followed that with winning performances in the long jump (3.58m), triple jump (8.03m), hammer (32.51m) and discus (30.18m). Having to wait two more years before she can take part in the Seniors Games, Anne Murfitt, 53, nevertheless had a successful outing of her own in a Washington State Masters meet, bringing back gold medals in the hammer (22.53m), discus (18.11m) and weight throw (6.83m), as well as silvers in javelin (17.48m) and shot put (6.79m), and a long jump bronze, with a leap of 2.44m. The season for Pen Track is winding down and they are hosting their annual awards barbecue at Centennial Park in Central Saanich on Sept. 8 (Saturday) from 2 to 6 p.m. sports@peninsulanewsreview.com

Victoria men charged with securities crimes Edward Hill News staff
Three men from Greater Victoria face charges relating to improperly selling securities four years ago linked to an Alberta real estate investment company. Saanich police and West Shore RCMP assisted the B.C. Securities Commission criminal investigation team in the investigation, which led to the arrest of two men last Tuesday (Aug. 28). A third suspect is still at large. Daniel Barton, 29, a resident of
Victoria, and Gregory Gillespie, 36, of Saanich, were each arrested at their respective homes without incident, and made their first appearance in court Wednesday. They are due back in Victoria provincial court on Sept. 19. As of Wednesday, Andrew Chengalath, 28, remains at large and the court has issued a warrant for his arrest. The three men are each charged under the Securities Act with selling securities though Oasis Properties Inc. without being registered with any regulating agency, and charged with

Securities Commission alleges the men improperly sold securities related to a real estate investment centred on 1250604 Alberta Ltd., an Alberta company controlled by Barton and doing business as Oasis Properties and Caprice Investments. Richard Gilhooley, a communications officer with the B.C. Securities Commission, said none of the men had
registered as “We allege they securities agents acted contrary to the with regulating agencies such public interest. The as the B.C. requirements are there Securities Commission to protect investors.” or the Mutual – Richard Gilhooley, Fund Dealers Association of B.C. Securities Canada. Commission Selling securities without a prospectus – which details the business plan, financial audits and future plans of the company – without an exemption, is also against the Securities Act. “We allege they acted contrary to the public interest. The requirements are there to protect investors,” Gilhooley said. B.C. Securities Commission wouldn’t say how many investors were allegedly involved, the amount of money invested or how the complaint against the men emerged. Gilhooley said the long gap to lay charges is not unusual in these types of cases. “Complex financial investigations often take a long time to gather material, talk to witnesses,” he said. Crown counsel also requires a reasonable likelihood of conviction before signing off on charges. Oasis Properties, which had address listings in Langford and Victoria, no longer has a working phone number or website. Barton is listed as president of Oasis Properties Inc. and Gillespie was its chief operating officer, according to their respective LinkedIn profiles. Barton is the most high-profile of the three accused. In 2008, during the same time period of his alleged offenses, the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce awarded Barton the Young Entrepreneur of the Year award. The Oak Bay High grad was also profiled in Monday Magazine in 2006 as an up and coming real estate entrepreneur who owned scores of homes in Alberta. Anyone who invested with Oasis Properties and Caprice Investments is encouraged to contact the B.C. Securities Commission at www. investright.org or 1-800-373-6393. editor@saanichnews.com
