Shell-shocked resident wants bylaw review Ex-cop wants Central Saanich to revisit rules allowing live ammo for pest control Devon MacKenzie News staff
A Central Saanich resident is calling for a bylaw review after an incident at his home on Aug. 5 left him and his family feeling unsafe in their own backyard. Gord Gummer, who lives on a property Jewett Place that backs onto farmland, was shocked to find a pellet from a shotgun shell had made its way inside his home. “I am always aware now. I think about my family, the pets, my granddaughter … and what might have happened if they’d been hit by the pellet,” he said. The night of the incident was an average Sunday night for Gummer, but as he sat watching TV something strange happened. “It was about (9 p.m.) and my wife and I were sitting in our family room when she noticed something fly into the living room and then into the kitchen through the open french door,” he said. “I called the Central Saanich Police that night and reported the incident and then a couple of days later I noticed a small dent in one of the kitchen cabinets where the pellet hit,” he said. Gummer said police visited his home that night and a few more times over the following weeks. Investigators eventually determined that the buckshot, which Gummer believes came from a farm behind his home, had ricocheted off a rock in his garden and then into the house. “My wife and I spend a lot of time in our family room and kitchen as well as on the decks in the backyard where the buckshot travelled,” said the retired longtime Victoria police inspector. “My nine-month-old granddaughter also spends a lot of time here including the night before the incident happened, when we were having a birthday party in our backyard.”

Central Saanich resident Gord Gummer stands in the doorway on his back patio, where an errant pellet from a shotgun shell flew through last month. Gummer is calling for a review of the municipality’s bylaws on wildlife control on farms. Central Saanich police continue to investigate the incident, but declined to comment in any detail. “All I can confirm, because the investigation is ongoing, is that the case is still under active investigation,” said Cpl. Janis Jean. Gummer’s property backs on to fields leased by Silver Rill Corn, which holds legal permits to control deer and other wildlife on its property. That includes using blanks or live rounds in shotguns. Permits for farmers to discharge firearms for such purposes are issued by both the police and the Fish and Wildlife bureau of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natu-
ral Resource Operations. They stipulate a minimum 100-metre distance must be kept between the point of firing and a possible residence. Clayton Fox of Silver Rill says the operation has been practicing safe crop protection for close to 50 years and that they use ammunition specifically designed to only travel a certain distance. “We are only allowed to use specific shells and we always have, and (they can’t) travel far distances (because) they lose velocity very quickly,” Fox said in an email to the News Review. “The only explanation we have come up
with is a manufacturers error in one of the shells we use which allowed a BB to travel three times the distance it is supposed to … followed by a fluke ricochet. I can assure anyone that we are obeying every law and safety concern, and staying in the boundaries of where we are permitted to discharge shotguns. (We) will continue to practice the use of these permits safely.” Gummer is concerned the situation of farmers using live ammunition could become more problematic. PLEASE SEE: Crop protection, page A4

Farmers receiving extra bill
Search and rescue boathouse deal will boost capability More education programs to be offered Devon MacKenzie News staff
A donated boathouse and a change of name have given a local Peninsula volunteer organization a boost. The Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue, previously known as the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary for the Pacific region, rebranded their organization in May of this year. Linda Cummings of RCM-SAR Station 36, the Peninsula’s local RCM-SAR unit funded through the not-for-profit Saanich Marine Rescue Society, says she hopes the rebranding will also help the organization with their fundraising. “By calling ourselves the Coast Guard Auxiliary, it gave most people the impression that we were funded by the federal government, which we weren’t,” she said. “We received a small stipend for fuel that was meant to be used for calls. Everything else was, and is, totally covered by donations and fundraising. That includes equipment like helmets, cruiser suits, duty vests, radios and any maintenance or training on the RHIB’s (rigid hull inflatable boats) or boathouse maintenance.”
Station 36, which has been a fixture on the Peninsula since 1976, previously kept a boathouse at Van Isle Marina, but eventually outgrew it. “The space at Van Isle was so small and it had no learning space and very little storage space, so it was fantastic when we found out about the new space,” explained Cummings. The new space Cummings referred to is a 55-square-foot boathouse at Canoe Cove Marina that was donated to the organization in December 2011 by a man named Larry Clarke. Station 36 officially took possession of the boathouse in January and began improvements on it almost immediately. “The boathouse was in decent condition, but (the float was) a bit crooked,” laughed Cummings. “Overall, it needed about $40,000 work to make it functional so that’s been our major fundraiser, but now it’s our main base to house the fast response craft, to store equipment in and we’re also working on having a teaching space in there as well.” Station 36, which is operational and on standby at all times, serves a wide area around the Peninsula and surrounding waters and is completely staffed by

Some Central Saanich taxpayers recently learned they owed more on their property taxes than they were billed for earlier this year. According to Coun. Cathie Ounsted, the school tax rates for the billing in May were incorrectly entered, which resulted in an incorrect rate being charged to all farm properties. “Farms can expect to see a new tax bill (from the municipality) if they haven’t already, but since ALR is taxed at such a low rate, the bills are very, very small,” she said. “In fact, (Mayor Alastair Bryson) got his last week and I think it was about $25.” The decision to re-bill the farm class properties rather than simply write off the balance was made because farm properties provincewide have to be taxed the same way, Ounsted said. Coun. Zeb King was concerned that farmers would be faced with the new bills right around harvest time. “This is right around the time of the Saanich Fair and harvest time for a lot of the farms here and they’re going to be faced with paying a bill. This was a municipal mistake, but taxpayers still have to pay for it,” he said. More than 60 per cent of Central Saanich is zoned as Agricultural Land Reserve, not including rurally-zoned farms. reporter@peninsula newsreview.com

A deer management report recently presented to the Capital Regional District board suggested that the 100m distance be relaxed, to allow farmers protecting their crops to kill more deer. “If you lessen that distance, you’re opening up the risk of something like this happening,” he said. “I have no problem with farmers protecting their crops and it’s something we have to be accepting of in a farming municipality like Central Saanich. (But) to use live ammo around housing, I think, is really irresponsible.” Gummer is calling on the municipality to review the bylaw which allows farmers to protect their crops using live ammunition. “I just want them to look at the bylaw and things like the fact that live ammunition is being used close to residences, when there are safer alternatives.” Gummer also noted the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations and the municipality re-

Waste not want not at Harvest Feast Aside from serving as an appreciation of the bounty of the Saanich Peninsula, the annual Harvest Feast strives to encourage food recycling and waste management by operating with near-zero waste. “(Recycling and composting organizer) Roni Anderson makes sure all the waste is sorted to a very advanced level,” says event co-organizer Rita Cooney. “She breaks it down into pig food, recycling and garbage, and
Saanich Fairground office manager Gloria Dol and members of the North and South Saanich Agricultural Society serve up dessert at the 2011 Saanich Peninsula Harvest Feast.
last year she ended up with only one small bag of garbage.” Feasters are encouraged to bring their own dishes and clean them afterwards. “We really would like to see people bringing their own plates, cutlery and glasses to cut down on waste,” Cooney said. “If they do prefer to bring a disposabletype plate, we encourage them to use something like bamboo, which decomposes quickly.”

Feast offers many culinary delights Bounty of the Peninsula in evidence at annual event Devon MacKenzie News staff
Rita Cooney’s kitchen at Breadstuffs Bakery in Brentwood Bay will be filled with local goodies this coming week in preparation for the annual Harvest Feast. “We’re making buns from local wheat and helping to prepare a few of the other dishes for the feast out of local ingredients,” Cooney said. “We’ve supported this event since it started. But in the last couple of years we’ve really gotten involved not only in the cooking part, but also in the planning phase as well.” The Harvest Feast, which takes place on Sept. 22, celebrates Peninsula food and farms and features contributions from local growers. Virtually all food served at the event is grown or raised on the Saanich Peninsula. The lone exception this year is cranberries from Yellow Point.
The event opens with a wine and cider tasting by Muse Winery, Dragonfly Hill Vineyard and Winery and Sea Cider Farm and Ciderhouse. It moves into a seasonal feast which includes such desserts as lemon meringue pie made from lemons grown in North Saanich. This year’s main course will be prepared by Truffles Catering. “It’s just so bountiful here on the Peninsula,” Cooney said. “This event is really to celebrate the fact that we have everything you could want in one place. We have wheat, berries, salmon, different types of meat, all kinds of fruit and veg.” The feast is a non-profit community gathering supported by the Southern Vancouver Island Direct Farm Marketing Association and the North and South Saanich Agricultural Society. Net proceeds are donated to the Sidney Lions Food Bank.
Tickets generally sell out in advance and special prices are offered for those who bring their own dining accessories. Regular tickets are $27 for adults and $10 for children 12 and under. A family pack (two adults, two children) is also available for $64. The ‘bring your own plate’ option is offered at $24, $7 and $52, respectively. Tickets are available at Breadstuffs Bakery in Brentwood Bay, Fresh Cup Roastery Café in Saanichton, The Roost Farm Centre in North Saanich and Muffet & Louisa in Sidney. Doors open at 5 p.m. and dinner is served at 6. For more information on the Harvest Feast, call 250-652-4691 or visit www.islandfarmfresh. com/harvestfeast.

The expression, ‘when times get tough, the tough get going’ may work for some people. The Sidney Business Development Group, formed to look into the creation of a unified marketing voice for business in the seaside town, hopes to strengthen that old chestnut by getting as many people as possible on the same page. “Businesses in town are struggling a bit with the economy,” said Steve Duck, project manager for the group. “We just wanted to create some awareness that we need to move ahead. At the same time, going forward we want to make sure we know what people want. And what does that look like?” Aware of the splintering of promotional efforts, with the Sidney Business Association, Sidney Merchants’ Co-Op and Saanich Peninsula Chamber
of Commerce each providing their own version of marketing, Duck has been canvassing the Sidney business community to gauge interest in streamlining things. The group was given a $18,500 grant by Sidney council this year to look at options for creating a focused marketing arm. The end goal is to have an organization that better helps Sidney compete in a regional market where the Uptown development in Saanich and big box store-friendly Langford are drawing customers from around the region, including the Peninsula. “There’s a sense of urgency to that,” Duck said. “Many business owners will tell you that Sidney is about three years behind. “I don’t think in the past that enough has been done to say ‘Sidney is open for business.’ If you don’t keep shouting out what you’re doing, then no one is going to hear you. Everybody succeeds if everybody takes part.” Besides Duck, who also monitors results of an online business marketing survey, the group is made up of volunteer businesspeople. They meet every other week to discuss the feedback being

Business owners and managers are also encouraged to complete an online survey (at SidneyBiz.com) by Sept. 19 to add to the information flow.
A Victoria-based consultant – the hiring of which Duck expects will eat up most of the grant money – is also researching what other communities are doing to promote business and what has worked well. “By the time we get to the feasibility study and present it to council, the due diligence will have been done to find out what a ‘made in Sidney’ model looks like,” Duck said. Sidney Mayor Larry Cross, who last January challenged the business community to come up with a idea to unify its marketing efforts, is optimistic that a workable solution will emerge when the Sidney Business Development Group presents its report in November. “It’s a work in progress,” he said. “I’m hopeful that we’ll arrive at a place where the merchants are comfortable with the organization, whatever it is, and flowing it into the business community.” For more information on the Sidney Business Development Group, or to offer feedback on the project, visit SidneyBiz. com or call Steve Duck at 250891-6599. editor@peninsula newsreview.com

DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO GET HELP WHEN THEY NEED IT? WE DO TOO.
Artist Kat McDonald, left, sells one of her watercolour and ink paintings, “Jug with Pears,” to Rose Davidson at the Community Arts Centre in Tulista Park last week. McDonald’s paintings, and other art items donated by area artists, were sold as a fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society’s Tour de Rock. The campaign, which ended Sept. 6, raised more than $5,500. Don Descoteau/News staff
Tour de Rock seeking fundraisers Volunteers also needed for big finale Oct. 4 Don Descoteau News Review staff
Residents on the Saanich Peninsula rally behind the Canadian Cancer Society’s Tour de Rock fundraiser, no doubt about that. Having raised hundreds of thousands of dollars over the past 14 years, it’s clear eradicating childhood cancers and helping provide some joy for young patients and their families is a priority for people in the area.
Julie Harman, committee chair for the Sidney Tour de Rock celebration, hopes to see even more Peninsula people who have raised money for the cause bring their earnings down to Beacon Park on Oct. 4, when the riders roll into town. “There’s a lot of silent fundraisers that go on that I don’t know about,” said Harman, who has overseen the Sidney event since the first year of the Tour in 1998. “To have those people come forward, it makes (the area) look good as a whole.” She wants to rekindle the excitement level around Tour de Rock in Peninsula communities, especially Sidney, where
NOTICE
merchants and their staff have staged their own fundraisers in past, such as head shaves and hot dog sales. Not only is Harman anxious to get in touch with potential Tour de Rock fundraisers, she’s also looking for helpers to organize the parade, barbecue and performances for the big celebration. “We’re looking for volunteers, clowns and other performers, and people with Foodsafe,” she said. Anyone on the Peninsula looking at raising funds for Tour de Rock or wishing to volunteer for the finale is asked to call Harman at 250-656-2030. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

OUR VIEW
Now’s the time to get hooked When a club that sells medical marijuana completely spaces out on paying $2.5 million in income taxes, stoner jokes aren’t far behind. But for the thousands of people who use marijuana to ease chronic pain from illness and side effects of legal medication, the possibility of losing ready access to medical pot doesn’t bring out the giggles. Leon “Ted” Smith and his Victoria-based Cannabis Buyers’ Club of Canada has sold marijuana products for 16 years to thousands of people who can prove they have certain permanent diseases or chronic ailment. Smith admits in the media and on his website that he’s avoided paying taxes to the Canada Revenue Agency for years and wrote: “(I) assumed I would end up in jail for it.” This kind of sloppy bookkeeping does little to improve the public image of selling or using medical marijuana. Hopefully this won’t undo the good work Smith has done helping suffering people and challenging ethically-dubious laws that snares marijuana in a grey area of legality. Indeed, among the number of court cases involving Smith and the CBCC, this year a trial involving the CBCC’s head baker had restrictive parts of federal medical marijuana law deemed unconstitutional. This is typical of laws that try to have it both ways. Health Canada allows people to purchase and/or grow marijuana for medical purposes, which is a tacit admission that marijuana can help some sick people – while the agency discourages its use. Doctors in B.C. can prescribe marijuana, but the doctors’ college discourages that due to legal liability and a lack of scientific studies. Sick people having some access to pot is better than none, but inconsistent messages from health authorities and the federal government opens the door for advocates such as Smith to operate businesses that are effectively illegal. As Smith noted, out of his tax troubles the club will become a non-profit, run by a board. This is good news for the many legitimate pot users in this city who don’t have to risk the dangers of buying from dealers on the street. What do you think?

And as with marijuana grow ops, “local governments have little or no authority to enforce compliance with health and safety standards when a building is owner occupied.” Another First World problem is the “pocket dialing” of 9-1-1 by mobile phones. This is more than just a nuisance, because local emergency services are obliged to respond to every call they get. And mobile phones can’t be traced to their location with any precision, creating time-consuming searches that weaken response to real emergencies. Other resolutions tackle complex and important issues, such as the effect of hydro development on municipal water supplies. But alas, most will be lost in the convention noise, overshadowed by political posturing over matters best left alone. Last year’s convention featured the low comedy of delegates voting with wireless devices to condemn smart meters, after displaying their ignorance of the subject. This year, in addition to factually challenged railing about oil tankers, there will be a tough stance taken against shark fin soup, which will no doubt strike fear into the Chinese fishing fleet. Once delegates vote themselves more taxpayers’ money to run this show, perhaps they should keep their grandstanding to a minimum.

Building up not out not right in Sidney Re: Development proposal for McLarty’s on 3rd Street in Sidney One storey, two storey, three storey, four. Five storeys, six storeys, need I say more? I wonder, what is the point
of making development height restrictions, if they are then ‘relaxed’ because the developer needs another story to make the project profitable? I have heard stated several times in the last few months
by council that ‘the Town is built out, now we must build up.’ The last time I checked, main street in Sidney was called Beacon Avenue, not Goldstream Avenue.
I urge residents to speak up if you feel that forcing densification on a town where the majority of people who live here do not want it is wrong. Sandra Pettinger Sidney
Readers respond: Marine regulations, Enbridge, food banks More marine regs makes little sense The government wants to regulate every aspect of every drop of water from Sooke to Nanaimo. Well, maybe there are a few too many objectors there, let’s just do Saltspring to Saanich. A proposal to regulate every aspect of marine and human life (recreational and commercial) on or over or adjacent to the “emerald sea” was pitched at committee of the whole Monday night. Parks Canada proposes restricting hundreds of square kilometres of Sidney’s costal waters to a Marine Conservation Area Reserve, to protect mysterious unidentified endangered species and habitat existing nowhere else in the thousands and thousands of miles of B.C. coastline. According to the spokesman for Parks Canada, anyone using the new zone would do so, only after proving to Ottawa that their activity is environmentally sustainable. This additional bureaucracy should streamline any issues you have with replacing the posts under your dock, or renegotiating the more than 1,500 tenured interests within the zone. We don’t have an issue with posts and tenured interests, but we are about
to create one and create an agency to solve it. One big selling point is gas and oil exploration will be banned from the zone, potentially protecting us from disaster. When asked after their presentation, “what if we discover the largest gas and oil deposit in all Canada” right in the middle?” the formerly warm and friendly presenter turned on his heels and spat out, “Oh, we already know there is no oil or gas out there.” The only species to benefit from this new government boondoggle will be the “red herring”.

Columnist articulates pipeline issue clearly Re: Separating oil from manure (B.C. Views, Sept. 5) Kudos to Tom Fletcher. Finally, some clear facts regarding pipelines and oil spills. I sincerely hope that those opposing the pipeline will respond with substance rather than the emotional hype and paranoia of total environmental disasters. A friend of mine who is a member of one of the First Nations that live along the proposed Enbridge route told me that his opposition to the pipeline is based on the thickness, or rather the
Established 1912
“thin-ness,” of the proposed pipe. He understands from information he has received from his elders that Enbridge acknowledged they have not met specifications that could prevent potential leaks. So far, that is the only rational objection I have heard to oppose the existing proposal, and it is not insurmountable. Make the pipe thicker. Please, someone give me factual reasons why I should not support this project. Eli W. Fricker North Saanich
Food bank scenario is disgraceful Re: Think about others for a moment (Devon MacKenzie column, Aug. 31) I remember a time in Victoria when there were no food banks, but due to changing taxation policy and unmet cost of living increases, temporary food banks began to appear. With dismay I noted that permanence set in when the provincial government saw that churches and community groups would attempt to make up the difference when employment insurance and welfare rates ceased to match rising costs for basic needs, and more and more people were “becoming poor.” Food banks and soup kitchens became a convenient way to transfer responsibility for egalitarian social services from the many to the few. At the same time, the working poor were
subjected to heavy tax rates in comparison to tax advantages being extended to the most wealthy. It is the same across North America, where the gap between the most impoverished and most affluent has grown to a shocking degree. Yes, we should contribute to food banks if we are able – the need is there. Yes also, we must return public policy to the previously-humane degree of equality, by ceasing to starve government funding via unfair tax rates. Corporations and wealthy individuals should indeed “pay their fair share” so lessfortunate children, seniors, and jobless adults in this wellto-do country need not go hungry. Whether one’s motives are Christian, humanitarian, or any other source, it is a disgrace to leave things as they are. Connie Foss More Saanich
Movie theatre’s plea falls on deaf ears Call me insensitive, but I do not understand donating money to keep the Sidney movie theatre open, with new seats, when the food banks and other organizations are desperate for money. I also don’t agree with the Town of Sidney putting the request for donations in their newsletter with my water bill. Is this something that all struggling businesses will get to do?

Vision Matters Dr. Paul Neumann
Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.
How well does your child see? Parents are often surprised when I tell them that children should have their eyes examined around their third birthday. At this age however, many problems can be detected and timely treatment started. If an infant or toddler has an obvious problem, the parents should not hesitate to have the child’s eyes examined even earlier. Children with vision problems may not complain. Blurred or double vision can seem normal if one has never known anything else. Sometimes a child may only be using one eye with the other not functioning properly; even though it appears to be normal. An eye may be “lazy” (amblyopic) even if it doesn’t seem to turn in or out. Treatment for amblyopia is far more effective if undertaken well before the child’s seventh birthday. Parents can watch out for signs of vision problems even in very young children: Rubbing the eyes, holding objects too close, tilting the head or an unusual lack of coordination are some of the warning symptoms. Children do not need to know the alphabet to be examined. Optometrists can use pictures, symbols and toys to help examine toddlers. The emphasis is usually on “fast and fun” in these cases. After the initial visit, annual checks are recommended as children’s eyes change as they grow. Here in British Columbia, a program for preschool children called “Vision First Check” has just started. Ask your optometrist for further details and set up appointments for any children who have not had a recent examination.

A motorcyclist intent on passing backed-up traffic on the Pat Bay Highway via the shoulder got into a fight with a fellow driver who took exception to the biker.

fight going on down the road. It began after a commercial truck operator attempted to block two bikers' attempts to travel down the shoulder. One of the motorcyclists got off his bike, the truck driver exited the truck, and "the fight was on," wrote Saanich police Sgt. Dean Jantzen in a press release. "The rider proceeded to run head long into the truck driver with his helmet. The truck driver defended himself by
striking the rider in the helmet actually breaking his visor," Jantzen wrote. Neither of the men was charged with assault, but the motorcyclist was issued a ticket for operating outside the restrictions on his driver's licence. "All motorcycle riders are reminded that it is an offence to pass a line of traffic on the shoulder of a roadway," Jantzen added. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Region wants help fighting knotweed plant infestation Homeowners asked to help prevent spread of invasive species Kyle Wells News staff
It’s a quiet invasion but the Capital Regional District wants homeowners to be diligent in identifying and properly disposing of knotweed. The invasive bamboo-like plant – in particular the Japanese, bohemian and giant varieties – is causing problems for waterways and native species of plants. The plant, originally from Asia, is edible and has some medicinal properties. But it is listed by many countries as one of the worst invasive species. In B.C., knotweed is considered a priority for eradication. “It’s a real vigorous one,” said Colwood parks manager Gordon Beauvillier, who is a member of the Captial Region Invasive Species Partnership (CRISP). Last year, CRD parks workers tackled a patch on the Galloping Goose trail near Colwood Cor-

Knotweed stems have the look of bamboo. ners that had spread to a six- to nine-metre square patch. The biggest problems, said Beauvillier, are when residents grow the invasive species as an ornamental plant or simply don’t remove it properly. “The stock and everything is very bamboo looking, it comes out with a nice, white flower,” Beauvillier said. “Once you know what it is, it’s hard to confuse it with other things.” The plant has hollow stems that can grow three to five metres tall. The leaves are heart-shaped and come to a pointed tip. In late summer, the plant flowers in small white clusters. Despite its good looks, knot-

weed can cause serious problems. “It absolutely takes over waterway ecosystems,” Beauvillier said. “It will destroy waterways, which will destroy the wildlife and the fish habitat. It’ll clog waterways. It’s really bad. And it grows. It’s a vigorous grower and it’s extremely hard to get rid of.” Disposal is at the heart of the problem. Knotweed is a tough plant. Beauvillier said there have been cases of the plants growing in landfills and it has also been known to grow through asphalt and concrete foundations. For now, knotweed has mainly been kept to patches on private properties. Some property owners are tackling the plant on their own, but Beauvillier said the Coastal Invasive Plant Committee, in partnership with CRISP, can help with infestations and disposal. “It’s the lack of information out there for people and the understanding of how bad it actually is that is really giving us a tough time,” Beauvillier said. To report knotweed, call CRISP at 250-857-2472. For more information, see www.coastal invasiveplants.com. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

NEWS REVIEW
Health staffers fired in ministry data breach Tom Fletcher Black Press
Four B.C. health ministry employees were fired last Thursday and two
research contractors have been suspended as police investigate misuse of patient data used for drug approval research. Health Minister
Margaret MacDiarmid said Thursday the RCMP have been asked to investigate, after an internal ministry probe looked at contracting and research grant
practices between ministry staff and researchers working at the University of B.C. and University of Victoria. MacDiarmid, briefed
on the case on her first day as health minister, said she found the situation "disturbing." She said the investigation centres on patient prescription
data used to determine what drugs should be covered by the province's Pharmacare program. She wouldn't say specifically why people were fired,
except that a conflict of interest involving family members is part of the investigation. The investigation started in May, after an anonymous tip to B.C. Auditor General John Doyle's office about possible contracting irregularities. The ministry looked at financial controls, employee-contractor relationships and data management, finding evidence of potential conflict of interest, as well as inappropriate contract management and data access with outside drug researchers. MacDiarmid said she is not aware of evidence that there was financial gain or that drug companies benefited from the information, which was found in possession of people not authorized to have it. It was used for research only, and MacDiarmid said she is not aware of evidence that individual patients have been affected. editor@peninsula newsreview.com

s you read this I may be in Cedar visiting my brother, Herb, who got me started growing allium. He had such a beautiful one in his garden and I was jealous. “I want one too,” I exclaimed. Now I have several; two entirely different varieties which have amazing flowers. I have five large, dried blooms in a big vase in a place of honour in the living room, where they may be admired for their interesting shapes. Not quite the same as a bowl of flowers, but unusual and, I think, attractive. A flower you don’t often see any more (I’m surprised that they aren’t more popuHelen Lang lar) is called crocosmia. It was Over the Garden formerly named montbretia Fence – I wonder why they keep changing the name? Anyway, a friend has an area that has been full of bloom other years, but is pretty barren this year. She wonders why? A guess on my part is that they are starving, having depleted all the nourishment in that particular spot. They are great multipliers. I once had them in a bed which they decided was ‘their’ home, and everyone else better move along. If they weren’t so attractive I’d call them an invasive species. Give yours a generous dose of 15-30-15 this fall and another in early spring and I think you’ll be rewarded with masses of flowers. You also might consider digging up the corms and re-planting only some of them, giving the rest to someone who has lots of room with very little in it. They won’t have to feel unloved after a year or two. One of my cousins has sent me a magazine clipping showing pictures and talking about gardening in raised beds on the roof of a condominium. I love the idea, but feel it would be a dangerous practice here. I live on the top floor of my building and the idea of a ton of soil just above my head somehow doesn’t appeal to me, especially as we live in an earthquake zone, and this place isn’t exactly new. Thanks, but no thanks. I think I better stick with my pots, and cut down on my farming. Helen Lang’s column appears every week in the News Review.

Medical marijuana club hit with whopping tax bill Club founder out of pocket for bill
“Honestly, I’m just happy I’m not going to jail.”
Daniel Palmer
– Ted Smith Cannabis Buyers’ Club of Canada
News staff
A Victoria medicinal marijuana club is being forced to pay $150,000 in backdated taxes on its estimated $2.5 million in annual sales. Canada Revenue Agency began investigating the Cannabis Buyers’ Club of Canada and owner Leon “Ted” Smith in early May, after he admitted in a B.C. Supreme Court case that he had not been paying taxes or employee deductions. “Honestly, I’m just happy I’m not going to jail,” said Smith, who has operated the club for 16 years in Victoria. “In a way, this is kind of a step towards legitimacy for us.” Smith won the court case in April, which struck down a section of federal regulations that made the sale of edible marijuana and other products to medicinal users illegal. As part of his evidence, he admitted the club had been avoiding tax payments. “The police actually took that

Longtime marijuana advocate Leon “Ted” Smith admits he failed to pay taxes on products sold at his Cannabis Buyers’ Club of Canada shop in Victoria. judgement to the CRA and they started investigating me from there,” Smith said, adding he will pay the tax bill out of his own pocket and separate himself from future club business. “I’m going to be left with this mortgage-like debt, but the club’s not going to be affected,” he said.
Smith is currently in the final stages of appointing a board of directors with the intention of converting the club into a nonprofit society. Two committees on incorporation and finance are already working to ensure the new organization operates completely within the law, Smith added. “We’ll be a lot more transparent, a lot more accountable. It’s a step we’ve been looking to do for a long time,” he said. “I can live with a $150,000 debt. But I haven’t done anything criminal here at all, I’ve just not been in compliance.” Smith hopes to use some proceeds from his recently published book, Hempology 101: The History and Uses of Cannibis Sativa, to help pay his tax bill. dpalmer@vicnews.com PLEASE SEE: Our View, page A8

hen Connie Dere first told her 37-yearold son about her retirement plans, he began to cry. “I don’t want to change my lifestyle,” said Edward, the youngest of Connie and her husband Hon’s two sons. Edward now lives in Rhode Island and conducts medical research at Michigan State University, but for years, he and his brother Steve spent their summers serving ice cream and renting out paddle boats at the Elk Lake Restaurant and Water Sport Rental – a business their parents have run from morning until night, seven days a week for the last 30 years.
Natalie North/News staff
On Sunday Connie and Hon drove to the lake from their Gordon Head home to open the restaurant one last time. “When people come here, they’re so happy. That’s why the time has gone by so fast,” Connie said. “I didn’t know I would be here for 30 years.” Once all of the paddle boats have been sold off and the keys handed over to the new owners, Connie isn’t sure how she’ll react to leaving the
business behind. “I’m a little scared,” she said. “I spend more time here than my house. I think I’m going to be uncomfortable for a while.” Dealing with breakins, including a July incident that saw a safe and business records stolen, has left Hon’s feelings toward the closure more mixed. “Every year when we (see the damage) our hearts drop,” he said. New owners Lance Watson and Paul Regensburg of the Sub-
aru Western triathlon series and LifeSport Coaching have had their eye on the space as a possible administration space for years. “When the (adjacent) mini golf lot went up for sale, we hummed and hawed, and it became the cat clinic,” Watson said. “We kicked ourselves for missing it, so later we talked to the restaurant owners and it was great timing. They were ready to retire.” Watson and Regensburg plan to build

The duo, who have been previously working from home, take possession Sept. 24. “It’s the end of an era: a husband and wife team who have put in those types of hours to pass on opportunity to their kids – tireless work and a frugal lifestyle,” said Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard. “They’ve put a couple of kids through university, all because Mom and Dad rented kayaks and sold hot dogs.” The Deres moved to Victoria from Hong Kong via Montreal, eventually settling on the West Coast for the weather. Although the two still enjoy a paddle boat ride from time to time, Connie, 61 and Hon, 64, don’t have the same energy once they get off the boat, Connie said. “They’ve worked hard and earned a retirement more than anyone I know,” Leonard said. – with files from Travis Paterson nnorth@saanich news.com

A young Peninsula Panthers squad split a pair of opening games over the weekend. On Friday evening, the club broke out a new set of jerseys and a lineup almost completely revamped from last season. The fresh team did not disappoint, beating the Westshore Wolves 3-1. The Wolves are a new entry in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League. Their lineup, however, is filled with veteran junior hockey players including three former Panthers who played here last season. New Panther Josh Adkins,17, opened the scoring at 5:29 of the first frame on helpers from Daniel Welch and Spencer Loverock, followed just over a minute later with a blast from Peninsula Minor Hockey product Zack Smith. Panther Cody Allison dished the puck to teammate Will Finlay, and after two great plays made to beat Wolves defenders, the puck slid to Smith who sailed one by Wolves goalie, Alec Dillon. The Wolves’ Spencer Preece beat Panthers’ netminder Stephen Heslop later in the period, which sent the teams to the dressing rooms with the Panthers clinging to a 2-1 lead. After an evenly fought second period, a power play in the third saw Panther Dane Gibson alone in the high slot blasting the puck past Dillon to give the home squad a bit of breathing room.

Get a Grip…on Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is when your wrist, hand, thumb and first two fingers have numbness, tingling and pain due to the inflamed Median nerve of your forearm. A common cause is repetitive movements and gripping for prolonged or intense periods. This muscle activity causes the tendons of your wrist and hand to heat up causing inflammation and swelling. This results in compression of the nerve. CTS sufferers experience the symptoms at night as well as during the daytime while having the urge to wring out their wrists. The ache is readily soothed with cold/ice applied directly over the inflamed wrist. Wearing a splint at night to minimize wrist movement and reduce inflammation is also indicated. Your chiropractor will determine to what extent the area has been compromised and examine and identify all potential nerve entrapment sites from the neck to the fingertips- paying special attention to the carpal tunnel at the wrist bones. Often one may suffer from forearm and elbow pain as part of the overall repetitive sprain/strain gripping tasks in work, recreation and general daily living. Chiropractic focuses on removing the nerve interference to decrease inflammation and begin healing while considering ergonomic instigators and offering work-task modification strategies. The longer it goes untreated the worse it may become due to the complicating factor of scar tissue adhesions from chronic inflammation. Over time, individual structures of the forearm and hand may begin to fail causing complete disuse. Whether you are a musician, knitter, carpenter, busy in the kitchen, playing racquet sports, or at the computer don’t let these symptoms interfere with your life.

Moms in mind for new exercise classes Devon MacKenzie News staff
Two new programs at Panorama this fall focus not only on fitness, but on new moms and their little ones. Strollerfit and
Mommy TRX offer moms simple ways to get back into fitness while incorporating social and play time with their babies during the classes. “I’m a mom of two young kids who are three and five, so I
know how hard it can be to find time to work out when you have little ones,” said instructor Deb Twemlow. “I also work in child minding at Panorama and I see a lot of moms struggle to get there on
time and a lot of moms who aren’t ready to drop off baby with someone they don’t know. So I thought it would be a great idea to have workouts that incorporate both mom and baby.” Twemlow developed Strollerfit for new moms – they must be at least six weeks postpartum to participate – and their babies using a stroller. Each session incorporates a walk, strength training, flexibility and relaxation, and opportunities for new moms to connect with each other and give their babies social time together. Mommy TRX is an innovative way for moms to rebuild strength after pregnancy, Twemlow said. “TRX is great for rebuilding back muscles that you don’t use for close to a year
while you’re pregnant.” TRX is good for people at any fitness level, she added, because it allows participants to work at their own pace. Moms can also bring baby (1.5 to 18 months) with them to socialize while they sneak in the TRX workout in Panorama’s pool mezzanine, Twemlow said. The TRX program runs Oct. 9 to Nov. 13 on Tuesdays from 9:45 to 10:45 a.m. No drop-in’s are permitted due to the progressive nature of the course. Strollerfit runs from Sept. 20 to Oct. 25 on Thursdays from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the Central Saanich Cultural Centre Room B. Cost for either of the six-session programs is $42.
