Museum gets bigger Sidney Museum secures new space in Old Post Office as it embarks on a plan to raise $400,000 Steven Heywood News staff
On Sunday, they’ll make it official during the town’s diamond anniversary event at Beacon Park, but the Sidney Museum wants to expand and they’re going to raise $400,000 to make it happen. This week, the museum announced it has already entered into an agreement to buy additional space in the Old Post Office building on Beacon Avenue. Museum board member Peter Wainwright says they will take possession of the Military Bookstore on Jan. 1, 2013. The book store itself will be changing location as well. “We have been talking about expansion for a while,” said Wainwright, who is the “It’s a showcase chairperson of the museum’s fundraising of business, individual committee. “The catalyst was Clive Tanner’s decision to move the book store.” and organizations The museum already leases space that have significantly there, Wainwright continued, so they decided they needed to secure the locacontributed to the tion, “instead of possibly being forced to growth and history of downsize if we lost it to new owners.” Getting the entire space means the Sidney.” museum can increase its display area by – Peter Wainwright 20 per cent, enabling them to bring out more of their artifacts in storage. Wainwright said they have some 6,000 artifacts — on display and in storage — and their expansion will also lead to the acquisition of new ones that will better tell the story of Sidney by the Sea. The Sidney Museum is in good shape, financially, Wainwright added, noting their Lego display has been a popular draw. Peter Garnham, the museum’s executive director said that display has seen between 7,500 and 11,000 people visit since they’ve had it up. What this means, said Wainwright, is the museum could hold a mortgage on the new space if they had to — but fundraising now will help pay the bill for the expansion and various upgrades to lighting, flow and use of technology.

Crash leaves car hanging Steven Heywood News staff
No one was injured in a crash that saw a car careen through a roadside barrier at McTavish Road Wednesday morning. Traffic was diverted around the McTavish Road exit into the Sid-
ney area, as police, North Saanich firefighters and paramedics attended the scene. According to police at the scene, a driver in her 60s was in the roundabout and apparently swerved to avoid other traffic. The car drove over a median and crashed through a fence and

Already, the museum society board says they are 17 per cent of the way to their goal. They are still working on their overall budget, said Wainwright, but donations have already come in and they have applied for a $100,000 grant from the Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund. Individuals can donate or make pledges at the museum or by visiting www.sidneymuseum.ca. Wainwright added the society will also be offering exhibit sponsorship opportunities and what they are calling their Wall of Honour. “It’s a showcase of business, individual and organizations that have significantly contributed to the growth and history of Sidney.� More fundraising efforts will be announced soon, Wainwright added. Sunday’s official announcement will take place at 2:15 p.m. in the park, with museum board members, owners of the Old Post Office and others.

Central Saanich council voted Monday to make their motions public. No, it’s not some form of dance — the council wants to make public their list of decisions and votes, called motions. Councillor Adam Olsen called for the action, asking staff to get the motions on the district’s website. “I find it helpful in reflecting back on what happened at a previous council meeting,� Olsen said. The motions online, said staff, would not be official and subject to change, based on council’s future decisions. Councillor Carl Jensen said this was easy to support, at the idea follows his need for better council communication with the community.

Cst. Scott Seutter is
Top Cop Sidney North Saanich RCMP constable Scott Seutter to receive three awards this fall, including Diamond Jubilee Medal Devon MacKenzie News staff
T
eaching children about road safety in local schools not only gives Constable Scott Seutter of the Sidney North Saanich RCMP a sense of satisfaction but it has also earned him three awards in as many months. This fall, Seutter will be presented with a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal in recognition of his excellence in traffic education and community service. He will also be honoured for being the top traffic enforcement officer and top traffic education officer by the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police (BCACP). “I’m honoured to be receiving these awards,” Seutter said. “Being recognized by the BCACP is really something unexpected because the other awards they hand out are for traffic units, which is a whole team, and the awards are open to all police, municipal and RCMP, so to be recognized as an individual is really special.” Seutter, who has been with the Sidney North Saan“I find it very ich RCMP for the last four rewarding to mix the years (prior to that he was stationed in Campbell traffic work with the River), spends most of his educational work days enforcing traffic on the Saanich Peninsula, and most because it gives a recognize him for balance and diversity to residents his wheels, he said. my job that I enjoy.” “I get recognized a lot because I drive the ghost – Cst. Scott Seutter SUV, so people know I do a lot of traffic enforcement but often don’t realize I do a lot of education as well.” Seutter, a trained collision analyst with the RCMP, began teaching road safety in local schools a few years ago. Now he co-teaches with Lorne Chan, the Grade 11 law teacher at Parkland Secondary School, on average of once a month, helping to educate teens on the importance of traffic safety and the rules of the road. “It’s always been a passion of mine to get in touch with the kids and teach them hands on,” Seutter said. “I find it very reawarding to mix the traffic work with the educational work because it gives a balance and diversity to my job that I enjoy.” Seutter added his presence in the classrooms of the teens also gives him the opportunity to touch on the importance of being safe on the roads and the consequences that can result from making poor choices. “Because I work as a collision analyst, I go to too many scenes where I see youth injured or killed because they made a bad decision,” he said. “That’s why I like to get in there with the kids, talk to them, educate them and provide them with information on impaired driving, seatbelt use, texting while driving and that kind of thing. “If I can have a positive influence on one or two youth a day I think that’s serving the community well.” Aside from his work in traffic enforcement and teaching

Cst. Scott Seutter of the Sidney North Saanich RCMP takes a break from his busy day as the detachment's only traffic officer.

Association of Chiefs of Police in November and a Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal in October. at Parkland, Seutter also spends time working with some of the younger residents on the Peninsula. “At the elementary school level I do bike rodeos and talk about bike safety with the kids. It’s just so much fun to be with them, they are so wide eyed and interested in every-

Through the Chamber of Commerce, the Crystal Awards extend the accolades of the community to the businesses and not-for-profit organizations, large and small, in recognition of all they contribute to our economy and daily lives.
The District of Central Saanich and Tsawout and Tsartlip First Nations held a symbolic signing ceremony Sept. 19 to mark the establishment of formal servicing agreements struck between the groups last month. The ceremony, held at the Tsawout band administration building, marked the establishment of a new agreement for municipal, water and fire services between the municipality and Tsawout,

• North Saanich council voted down an opportunity for residents on septic systems to seek federal financial assistance. In August, MP Mylène Freeman from Quebec (ArgenteuilPapineau-Mirabel riding) requested support from North Saanich Council (among others) on motion M-400 — an initiative to seek establishment of a federal financial support system for the management of rural septic systems. The staff recommendation to council was to receive Freeman’s request and support it, but council defeated it with Councillors Browne, Daly, Mearns and McBride opposed. • Council tentatively appointed Coun. Celia Stock as a liaison to attend meetings of Sidney’s Community Development Commission. Stock said she felt it was important to know what the Town of Sidney was planning in terms of development given the fact that the two municipalities sit so close together. • The municipality will move into the public hearing process of the ongoing wildfire hazard area issue after council gave two readings of amending bylaws on the subject. Council plans to axe the current wildfire hazard area development permit process and amend building and plumbing bylaws in hazard areas to minimize the risks when new homes are built. The new bylaws will include things like chimneys being required to have spark arrestors and roofing material to meet approved fire requirements. reporter@peninsula newsreview.com

Steven Heywood is the new editor at the Peninsula News Review. He comes to the Peninsula after serving nine years as editor in Parksville at a Black Press community newspaper.
New editor at PNR Steven Heywood jumps in from up-Island SIDNEY — The Peninsula News Review has a new editor. Steven Heywood joins the fold this week, after spendng the last nine years as editor of one of the News Review’s sister papers up-Island, the Parksville Qualicum Beach News. Heywood replaces Erin Cardone, who has moved on to other opportunities. Black Press editors Kyle Slavin and Don Descoteau had filledin while Heywood made the jump from Parksville to Sidney. He is grateful for the help of Descoteau (who returns to the Victoria News) and the News Review staff for getting him up to speed. “I am looking forward to getting to know the community here on the Peninsula,” Heywood said. “Writing about and photographing the people who make a community tick is rewarding — you get to know a place quickly and in-depth, and there are always pleasant surprizes to be
found.” Heywood has been a reporter and editor for 20 years, starting as a radio journalist in central B.C., then jumping into community newspapers in other B.C. and Alberta towns, before coming back to the Island (he was born in Port Alberni) in 2003. He has won various community newspaper awards in his career, from photography to newspaper general excellence awards, and is looking forward to sharing his experience with his co-workers at the News Review. In his spare time, Heywood is an active basketball official and is sure to be seen on the local hardwood this winter. He is also a Canadian Forces reservist with the Canadian Scottish Regiment in Victoria, which, incidently, celebrates its 100th anniversary in October. Heywood can be reached at the PNR at 250-656-1151, ext. 28, or at editor@peninsulanewsreview.com.

OUR VIEW
Support of local business strong The outpouring of support for the Star Cinema in Sidney has been tremendous — the fundraising goal of $200,000 is already half-way complete, and in only a few months of the campaign. An afternoon of music in Beacon Park was well attended, which helped push the effort to help the owners of the movie theatre renovate and upgrade the facility, We just hope that its current people have their to fundraising mark. eyes open While people have been generous, we hope that they do remember they are donating their hard-earned dollars to a private business. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. We just hope that people have their eyes open about where the money is going and what might happen to those dollars in the event of a worst-case scenario. Communities up and down the Island who do not have a cinema to call their own often lament its loss and call for new ones to come along. Yet, these are private enterprises, not public ones. A municipality isn’t going to be buildng a publicly-funded theatre any time soon. Pressures on theatres from larger facilites and online movies make it a difficult investment these days. People do, however, still love going to the movies and it’s obvious Sidney residents don’t hold a bleak outlook on the future of their theatre. In fact, they seem downright bullish on the whole thing, and this bodes well. Plenty of folks are willing to not only shell out cash for the tickets and popcorn — but are also willing to make donations of money and/or time to keep their local theatre open. It’s good news for residents and local businesses. People believe in their community and what it offers, and are willing to put their money where their mouth is. What do you think?

LETTERS Something doesn’t add up in ‘shell shocked’ article Something doesn’t add up in the article about the shell shocked Central Saanich resident and former police officer, who claims buckshot entered his house. It’s terrifying how people get hysterical when they simply think guns are involved, especially when there is no real evidence to support their claims. The article itself lack any facts, contained no real info and relied on emotion and hearsay to support Mr. Gummer’s position.
Here are some facts: Buckshot consists of lead pellets that are 0.24-0.36 inches in diameter. How a lead ball traveling at any speed could hit a rock and proceed to break a window, strike a cabinet and yet remain in perfect condition defies physics. In ideal conditions, and according to the Canadian Firearms Centre’s own data, with fully loaded hunting rounds, the range at which buckshot travels at a velocity that could harm a person or, say,
ricochet off a rock, break a window and then dent a cabinet is 100-150 yards, let alone the scaled back rounds farmers use to simply protect their crops. Perhaps someone should get out a tape measure? As a law-abiding gun owner, the Canadian Government makes me learn and remember these figures. You’d think it would be the kind of thing a police officer should know, and
something a reporter would stumble upon with a simple Google search. The home owner’s problem most likely lies with someone with a slingshot who may or may not have had malicious intent. Please everyone, take a deep breath, do a little research and stop vilifying guns and farmers trying to put protect our food source. John MacIntyre Central Saanich
Readers respond: Deer population, Star Cinema and job security Let residents vote with their wallets
This is a community and we care
Are we the only taxpayers exasperated by the sense of entitlement exhibited by those who believe our local municipality should control the deer population on their behalf? Yet another new government program to be funded, of course, by the increasingly burdened Saanich homeowner. In the past few years, there have been letters to the editor complaining about the ever-rising property taxes in the district. Well, guess what? This is why property taxes increase relentlessly year after year. We believe that programs such as roads, garbage, and parks are supported by a vast majority of citizens, who are willing to pay for these valuable services provided by our local government. We believe, however, that many residents (including us) simply won’t want to contribute towards a deer control program. In fact, in the district’s latest “Citizens Survey 2012,” an amazing 71 per cent of residents indicated that they would prefer less municipal services to increased property taxes. We believe, therefore, that any deer control program must be a user-pay system. One suggestion is for the CRD to contract with Groupon to set up an online, coupon-style system of collecting funds. Those residents who wish to control the deer can volunteer funds towards the cost of the program. Those who don’t want to participate simply don’t contribute. If sufficient funds are volunteered to fund the entire cost, then the new program proceeds. If adequate funds are not received, then the program is cancelled; let residents vote with their own wallet. Dave and Shari Poje Saanich
Re: In Steve Smith’s letter to the Peninsula News Review on Wed., Sept. 12, he states he is against giving money to help the Star Cinema continue operating. Giving and receiving are one. We are community — we help each other. On Sat., Sept. 15 at a private residence, we gathered for an auction. Each person donated a treasure to be auctioned and we bought each others’ treasures. We have a wonderful man who volunteers as an auctioneer. We have a lot of fun. This is community — we care. We are raising money for the Star Cinema. Lili Soleil-Garbutt Sidney
The race in life is a long one Re: Donna Tolen’s comments of Sept. 14, 2012. Good point Donna! A change must come forward in the attitudes of the working people. There are four major items in order of importance when it comes to a job. First, is the working conditions, second, is your supervisor, third is your job security, but remember there is no such thing as job security. Job security only exists when the employer has to hire a replacement if your leave your job. If no replacement has to be hired, then it wasn’t really a secure job. Finally number four is your wage. Now with these four major items, you can go to work happy and enjoy doing your work. Now look at the opposite workforce that work for $30 plus per hour and just hate going to work because they have lousy working
conditions and a unlikable supervisor. Remember that if you walk out of the doctors office with a terminal disease, writing a cheque from that $30 per hour job will not save your life. The race in life is a long one, but it is only with yourself. Your chances in life are only half mast, but so is everyone else’s. Now wouldn’t it be a better world if Jim SinClair would start thinking this way and be the first one to change his attitude for the better? Joe Sawchuk Duncan

Canadian Scottish Regiment marks 100 years Tim Collins News staff
As Capt. Stephen Green (retired) walks through the museum of the Canadian Scottish Regiment at the Bay Street Armoury, his pride in the regiment and its long history is apparent. He points out the various artifacts on display in the museum, stressing that these are not just a collection of kilts, medals, swords and firearms. Rather, they are a testament to the more than 20,000 Greater Victoria residents who have been a part of the regiment since its creation 100 years ago. “These aren’t just souvenirs,” said Green. “These bits and pieces were used by real people. “They carried these things with them, some-
times into battle. This is what’s left … and it helps us to remember the real people who sacrificed their talents, energy and often their lives to protect the country they loved.” It’s appropriate that the selfless legacy of service and sacrifice to which Green refers is remembered on the 100th anniversary of the Canadian Scottish Regiment. “When the regiment was formed in 1912, 200 men immediately volunteered. By 1914, when the Great War broke out, thousands had joined. This was at a time when … I’m not sure what the population of Victoria was … but it wasn’t very big. Yet all these men volunteered,” said Green. Photos of smiling soldiers and muddy battlefields are displayed in giant panels in the
museum. “These were very brave men,” said Green. As a testament to that bravery the museum also houses a host of medals and some of the 42 battle honours awarded to the regiment, including four Victoria Crosses, the nation’s highest military decoration for bravery. In an adjacent display case a large white cross, originally placed at Vimy Ridge, includes a plaque that lists the names of the men of the regiment who fell in that battle. As rich as the history of the regiment might be, Green said it’s not just the past that should be celebrated in its centennial year. “The service continues – that’s the real story. This regiment is the embodiment of our community. It represents the commitment

that our population has to standing by the principles of our freedom. They are all volunteers and always have been.” At present, about 250 soldiers serve as reservists in the regiment, but they are anything but weekend warriors. They undergo constant training for the realities of today’s military, including the increasing incidence of urban warfare in civilian environments. Members of the Canadian Scottish are also deployed to operations around the world, explained Green. They leave their families and jobs behind to go off and serve. More than 65 soldiers from the regiment have served in Afghanistan and in June of 2008, Capt. Robert Peel was awarded the Medal of Military Valour for action in that country. “We’re proud of our past,” Green said. “But we’re just as proud of our soldiers today.” The 100th anniversary celebrations are an ideal opportunity for Victoria to share in that pride. To that end, the Royal B.C. Museum will be hosting a special display to honour the Canadian Scottish Regiment. The display will include the six Victoria Crosses associated with the regiment as well as a host of other pictures, uniforms and artifacts. On Sunday, Oct. 21, the Regimental Church

Sugary drinks BC Conservative rivals square off next CRD ban? Tom Fletcher Black Press
Medical Health officer weighs-in on new U.S. regulations Natalie North News staff
Big sugary drinks took a hit last week in North America’s battle against obesity. New York City’s Board of Health passed a rule banning sales of sodas larger than 473 millilitres at restaurants, concession stands and other eateries – but thirsty customers with a sweet tooth in the Capital Regional District could be the next to notice a menu change. Never one to be left out of the discussion on health regulations, Vancouver Island Health Authority’s (VIHA) chief medical health officer Dr. Richard Stanwick, an outspoken leader in the successful campaigns to ban public smoking, idling vehicles and teens using tanning beds within the Capital Region, is considering what local action could be taken to regulate consumption of such high-calorie drinks. “This is a concern,” Stanwick said. “We do know the contribution of a sugary diet to overall obesity rates and a bunch of other things, including diabetes.” Rather than lobbying for a cap on portion sizes, a more suitable approach, Stanwick said, might involve regulating the levels of sugar within the products, similar to the province’s move to restrict trans fats in 2009. Emblazoning packaging with a simple symbol indicating the amount of sugar in sweetened drink is one option VIHA’s medical health officers have considered and may bring forward in the future, he said. A single 473 ml drink (roughly equal to one-anda-half cans of pop) may contain as many as 16 teaspoons of sugar. Quoting the Canadian Institute for Health Information’s report, Stanwick points to the tripling of obesity rates in 12-to 17-year-olds since 1980. “Clearly we have our work cut out for us,” Stanwick said. “This is an issue that’s on the radar of every medical health officer in the province.” Stanwick has not yet brought the concerns before the Capital Regional District. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

The BC Conservative Party annual general meeting Saturday is heading toward a showdown over leadership. The party, which laboured in the political wilderness for years, gained traction after former Delta MP John Cummins became leader in May 2011, rising as high as 20 per cent in recent opinion polls. Now some party members want to challenge Cummins’ leadership. They are running as a slate for party executive positions, headed by Ben Besler of Chilliwack, who ran for the party in the 2009 provincial election, when it was led by Wilf Hanni. A pro-Cummins slate headed by director-at-large Al Siebring, a North Cowichan councillor, was announced in response. Siebring calls his slate the “A Team,” and it includes supporters who billed themselves as “Friends of John Cummins” in a series of news releases responding to calls for a leadership review. Siebring said Wednesday that Cummins’ leadership is being questioned by “a few noisy individuals” who have damaged the party’s credibility at a critical time in preparation for the election next May. Siebring said only four of 26 board members are backing a leadership review, and he expects it to be voted down easily

BC Conservative Party leader John Cummins is being challenged for the party’s top job. at Saturday’s meeting in Langley. Cummins told Kamloops radio station CKNL Wednesday he isn’t too concerned about detractors within the party, calling it “the normal course of events” in any organization. “The job after the weekend is to make sure that everybody’s onside and move forward,” Cummins said. Party members are voting on whether his leadership should be reviewed, with
ballots mailed to all BC Conservative members. Party treasurer Lambert Leung of Richmond, who is standing for re-election with the “A Team” slate, said some members mailed in their ballots and others are bringing them to Saturday’s meeting, where the results will be tabulated and announced. Cummins is scheduled to address the membership at 12:30, and results of the vote for executive positions will be announced Saturday afternoon. With Besler running for party president, the dissident slate includes John Crocock, a former regional director for the Burnaby-Coquitlam region, Betty Newton of New Westminster, currently the deputy financial agent, Burnaby North constituency president Ariane Eckardt, Surrey regional director James Ram, Vancouver-Kingsway constituency president Milan Kljajic and Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows constituency president Robbie Armstrong. The pro-Cummins slate is Siebring for president, Jim Sutherland of Kelowna for vice-president, Leung for treasurer, Linda Bellamy of Langley for secretary, and director-at-large candidates Dan Denis of Vancouver, Daniel Brooks of Vanderhoof, Doug Machan of Kelowna and Dennis Belliveau of Parksville-Qualicum. — Tom Fletcher is Black Press’ legislative reporter.

A stage for acceptance Coast Captial Savings donation sets in motion a youth theatre program that will tackle multi-culturalism Steven Heywood News staff
A $5,000 donation from Coast Capital Savings to the Mary Winspear Centre is leading the way in support of a new performing arts program for area youth. The donation, announced Monday by the Centre, will soon be followed by a grant from the provincial government, says the Centre’s development co-ordinator, Lynn Fanelli. “That one promises to be quite a large sum,” she told the News Review. She added that cash infusion will likely get the program fullyfunded, but could say no more at this time. Fanelli did say the Centre is excited about the program, called Why am I different, with a focus on issues of acceptance. “We have always handled some social issues — bullying and the effect of technology on children — but perhaps it’s not

Children from the area’s school districts will have input into the program, creating performances that reflect some of the problems they deal with each day. The
Centre is working with Margaret Watt, instructor and principal at Mountain Dream Productions in staging the plays. “She is really amazing, working with the kids,” said Fanelli. Children from a variety of backgrounds are rehearsing for a production of The Forgotten Children in January — the first of five planned shows in 20012/2013. Fanelli said while older youth (ages 11 to 18) will be mainly the ones on stage, younger children (6 to 10) will help with the overall program, on stage and behind the scenes. Twenty to 25 children will be involved directly, said Fanelli, and more will be bused in to be part of the audience. She estimates the program will reach up to 4,000 youth, as they take the shows on the road in the new year. The Forgotten Children will be on stage at the Mary Winspear Centre Jan. 25 and 26.

Collagen is the key. Molecular biologists have pinpointed the key structural protein for creating smooth skin, thick strong hair, and strong nails. It’s your body’s beauty protein, collagen. During youth, you have a rich abundance of collagen. In addition, the collagen forms itself in a resilient “tight mesh� matrix. This “ideal� collagen condition prevents wrinkles from forming, gives skin elasticity, helps create thick, beautiful hair and strong nails. But over the years, collagen diminishes.
Starting at age 21, collagen diminishes by 1% per year. By age 30, signs of reduced collagen on skin, hair and nails become visible, not to mention the increase risk of fracture for bones. Say the words “healthy bones,â€? and the first word that probably pops up is calcium, but did you know that bones are made up of 30% collagen? Collagen provides strength and flexibility to bones. When collagen diminishes – your risk of fracture increases! Now, genuine collagen regeneration is possible with clinically proven BioSil™. BioSil, a patented cholinestabilized orthosilicic acid (ch-OSAÂŽ) complex, helps your body to generate its own collagen to provide support for denser and more flexible bones as well as beautiful skin, hair and nails. BioSil has been tested in rigorous double-blind placebo controlled trials for both efficacy and safety.
Regenerate Collagen with BioSil, the only clinically proven product with ch-OSA – the most absorbable form of silicon.
Fuller, thicker hair‌ One supplement I have discovered
recently and fell in love with is Biosil. I can safely say that this stuff made a huge difference in my hair‌Whatever grew was fuller, thicker‌I noticed a dramatic improvement in not only the quality of the new hair growth but the rate at which it was growing‌ Beauty Blogger Ellie S.

O’Toole is a talent from here in B.C. Continued from page A13
“Douglas’ work with his carving and dyeing techniques has been on the front cover of a british wood carving magazine, he has taught in Texas, Utah and Colorado and he has been invited into very prestigious shows for sculpture, but he’s a talent from right here (in B.C.) so it’s nice to have his work here,” said Hanlon.

A collection of the tools and electronics now being accepted at the Sidney Bottle Depot after a recent rennovation.
Recycling options are expanded Sidney Bottle Depot grows SIDNEY — The Sidney Bottle Dept on Galaran Road has expanded recently and continues to grow to better serve their customers. Its renovation — which is ongoing and will conclude around mid-November — has included some new programs, new sorting areas, more parking and the depot itself will be able to accept more recyclables. As of July 1, 2012, the depot started taking small appliances — sewing machines, exercise machines, sport and leisure devices and electric power tools, at no charge. A full list of what can be taken by the Sidney Bottle Depot can be found at www.islandreturnit. com, under the small appliances menu. As well, the depot can now accept electronic toys. From trains and remote control vehicles to electronic plush toys and video gaming consoles, the depot can take them and will transport them to Genesis Recycling in Langley, B.C. Once there, the toys are melted down for their various metals, plastics and more, sorted, then reused in various manufacturing processes. The Sidney Bottle Depot is open Monday to Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and is located at #5-10025 Galaran Rd. in the industrial park. For more, call 250-655-4878. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Cairns calls on artsts to come Down Under Sidney’s sister city in Australia offering artist residency program Steven Heywood News staff
Calling all artists of any stripe, the community of Cairns, Australia is looking for people to travel Down Under and spend up to three months in residence at its Tanks Arts Centre. It’s an opportunity for Sidneyarea artists — from painters and dancers, to musicians and pro-
ducers — to live with others from around the world in what is the first Sister Cities Artists Residency Program. Lesley Nicholls, with the Sidney Sister Cities Association committee, says this program is being offered by the Tanks Arts Centre in Cairns, in Queensland, Australia. They have invited Sidney — one of their sister cities — to submit artist applications to the
Crystal Award finalists named
program. “We need to see their portfolios and take a look at what kind of work (the artist) does,” said Nicholls. “Really, we’re just trying to see who’s going to apply and take it from there.” The Sidney area, she continued, has a vibrant and active base of artists of all forms. Already, one person has made an application — but there is room for many
more. The program offers studio or production space in Cairns, accommodation with other artists from around the world, programming assistance, performance space, promotion support, the handling of sales of both artwork and tickets and a residency of a minimum of three weeks and maximum of three months. Nicholls said the deadline to
apply — call her at 250-655-3467 to get a form — is pretty open right now, so don’t delay. Sidney has been a sister city with Cairns since 1985. Sidney is also a twin community with Niimi, Japan and Anacortes, Washington State. Nicholls added a delegation of youth from Japan will be the community next week. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com
