Complex care facility has a future Town to see private care facility open in former Bethel Baptist Church building Devon MacKenzie News staff

Sidney may soon be the new home of a care facility that will offer beds to senior patients who require complex care.

All Care Canada, a company partly formed by local Peninsula resident Blake Mooney, has purchased the former Bethel Centre (Mills Road) and are looking to get the 85-bed facility operating in the near future. “I’ve been in the long term care industry for over 15 years and one of my goals has always been to return

to my hometown and provide something locally,” said Mooney, the facility administrator. “I’ve always dreamt of being an owner operator of a long term care facility.” PLEASE SEE: Facility was never occupied, page A3

North Saanich residents group to discuss density Steven Heywood News Staff

The North Saanich Residents Association wants people who live on the Peninsula to know what’s on the table when it comes to development issues in their community. To that end, they will host a community meeting on Thursday, Oct. 4 in the Powell Room at St. John’s United Church on West Saanich Road from 7 to 8:30 p.m. “Basically, it’s an information-sharing session with our members and others in the

community,” said the association’s vicepresident Heather Gartshore. “It’s to help people learn what’s in the works with the District of North Saanich council.” Issues of development and density are hot topics among residents and Gartshore said the association wants people to have as much information as possible. “The North Saanich Residents Association exists to promote interest in the affairs of the district,” she said. “We want the communtiy to be aware of what’s going on.” She added the NSRA isn’t taking sides,

but is aware that the district council is faced with a large number of development applications calling for increased density and zoing amendments, which does not exactly fit in with the district’s current official community plan. With arguments on both sides of an ongoing development versus maintaining the OCP debate, Gartshore said meetings like theirs will help people better understand the issues facing the community and its elected leaders. “It’s a complcated process,” she contin-

ued. “For the average Joe to find out what’s going on in just a few articles, it’s hard to know. So this will be an information session and a discussion.” Gartshore added the mayor and council from the District of North Saanich have also been invited to Thursday’s meeting, where it is expected the topics will range from workplace and affordable housing issues, to growth and how it impacts on local infrastructre.

Emergency exercise at Victoria Airport Event to test local crews’ readiness

Devon MacKenzie/News staff

A big pile of debris sits where the back half of the old North Saanich Middle School used to sit. The school is being demolished after a newer, more modern school was built across the street last year.

SIDNEY — Emergency crews from Sidney, North Saanich and Central Saanich, as well as airport staff, participate in an emergency exercise this week at the Victoria International Airport. On Thursday, Oct. 4 from 9 a.m. to noon, firefighters, paramedics, police and airport security will work on a simulated aviation emergency. The planned scenario involves a simulation of an aircraft that has veered off into a field southwest of the main runway while attempting to land. The exercise is part of the Airport Authority’s emergency preparedness efforts, and is required by Transport Canada every four years. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Facility was never occupied after its construction Continued from page A1

“And although this is larger than I thought I would start out with, it’s going to be so nice to be able to serve local people.” The 85 care beds and associated senior’s care facilities, representing 43,000 square feet of the complex, was completed to its current state in 2009. However, according to Mooney, the facility has never been occupied because the previous owner never secured VIHA licensing approval. “The building as a whole was built with a variety of different plans, with the church and care beds being the primary concern. But because of the economy and other factors in the project, what started out as a really positive project, didn’t end up that way,” Mooney explained of the project’s

shortfalls in being able to seek VIHA licensing. “Our job now is to start over, turn a fresh page and give people on the Peninsula and in Greater Victoria options for long-term care.” Mooney said that All Care Canada has made modifications to the building’s plans and resubmitted a new application to the VIHA licensing branch for the 85 beds. Once approval is received in principle, building modifications to have those beds meet that criteria can begin. According to Mooney, the modifications to the facility will include things like providing more bathing facilities, increasing common space for lounges and recreation areas and improving access and flow to the building for residents and visitors.

START A GOOD DAY WITH HI

“This is a great time for us to be opening a facility like this because the need for beds is going to be there.” – Blake Mooney

Included in the development is a church, meeting and education rooms and a large common area and lobby which represent about 17,000 square feet of the complex. Mooney and his business partner, Casey Van Dongen are currently having preliminary discussions with two church related denominations about utilizing the space, but Mooney said they are

also considering other options on what they could with the space. “Another option being looked at is the possibility of creating more care beds in the space that is now occupied by the church,” Mooney said, noting they could have as many as 150 total beds if they used the church space. “Adding beds improves the operational efficiency of residential care facilities as well as it would go a long way to meet local and regional complex care needs,” he said, adding preliminary discussions on more beds have occurred with the Town of Sidney, as well as architects and engineers. “We’re planning on making a presentation to Sidney council in October on the expansion project,” Mooney said, adding that All Care Canada will have open houses on the first two weekends

in October at the newly-named Sidney All Care Centre to allow neighbors and community members the opportunity to view the facilities and give the company feedback on possible redevelopment plans. Mooney said Sidney All Care Centre is positioned to be able to take some of the load off the soonto-be closure of Oak Bay lodge. “This is a great time for us to be opening a facility like this because the need for beds is going to be there,” he said. The Sidney All Care Centre is currently home to a preschool (which was established before All Care Canada purchased the property) and a seniors wellness program for women, which has been started since the property was purchased. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Police will be asked to step up their patrols of Sidneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Iroquois Park after someone uprooted trees and bushes overnight Monday, Sept. 24. Town of Sidney superintendent of parks Brian Coward says three trees and five bushes were torn out of the ground and thrown into a pond in the park. The water was also littered with empty beer cans. Workers, he said, used a net to fish the plants and detritus out of the pond and the trees and shrubs were replanted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully, the plants will all be fine.â&#x20AC;?

The eye is somewhat protected against UV rays by the eyelid, the eyebrow, the orbit, the nose and the cheek. However, if you are outdoors a lot, in very strong sunlight, or near water, snow and ice, you need extra protection. Wear a wide brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen or proper clothing to protect your skin. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, you may be getting too much UV radiation. If this happens only rarely, it could just mean sore eyes and a painful sunburn lasting a day or two. If you make a habit of not protecting yourself, all year round, you risk developing eye and skin problems when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re older. Experts estimate more than half of our UV exposure occurs by the age of 18. Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes are also at risk because the lenses of their eyes block fewer ultraviolet rays. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why young children should play in the shade between 11 am and 3 pm, and always wear hats with wide brims to cover their heads and shade their eyes. Of course, other types of sun protection are important too. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget sunglasses, sunscreen and proper clothing. Even if the day is hazy or cloudy, you can still get a sunburn from UV radiation. Teenagers and adults may wish to discuss appropriate types of sunglasses (prescription or non-prescription) with their optometrist. Parents can inquire about sunglasses for young children.

Visitors to the Peninsula down As the shoulder season begins, stats show a downward trend continues Steven Heywood Visits to the local tourism information offices on the Saanich Peninsula are down this season, following a general trend over the last few years. Saanich Peninsula Visitor Information Centre manager Carol Whitehouse says visits are down between eight and 10 per cent this year over 2011, to both the Pat Bay Highway and Sidney offices. “Last year, there was the shadow of the (Vancouver) Olympics, so things were up,” she said. Up to the week of Sept. 17, 2012, the Pat Bay centre saw 15,521 visitors, compared with 18,280 in the same time period in 2011. In the Sidney office, 7,474 people dropped

in, compared with 8,993 last year. The numbers here from 2011 include visits at the Anacortes ferry terminal (walk off passengers). The last few years have been a bit of a roller coaster ride — plenty of ups and downs — in visitor numbers in the Peninsula region. Whitehouse said this is following the general trend of declining numbers in tourism over the last few years, as well as the increased use of technology. GPS devices, the Internet and social media sites are all taking some traffic away from tourist information centres. Yet, Whitehouse pointed out, the Vancouver Island-based centres still get their share of people coming in, faced with limits on the technology they do

have. For example, she continued, people have told her their GPS systems don’t show parts of Sidney, so they drop in, seeking directions. Taking advantage of new technology and social media is a priority for the info. centres, said Whitehouse. They use the Internet, Facebook and Twitter to better reach their customers. In a recent survey of visitors, done through a voluntary mail-in program, Whitehouse said 40 to 50 per cent of all

visitors are looking for maps and directions. Similar numbers of people are seeking reservations. The shoulder season is just beginning, Whitehouse said, noting June, July and August is the main tourist time. With a corresponding drop in visitors, the Pat Bay visitor centre closed on the weekend. The downtown Sidney office stays open year-round, with additional services provided at the Sidney International Ferry Terminal (Anacortes Ferry)

when the ship is in. To learn more about the visitor information centres, which are run by the Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce, call 250-665-7362 or visit www.peninsulachamber.ca. editor@peninsula newsreview.com

OUR VIEW

Visitor centres offer flavour While visitor numbers are down at the Sidney-area information centres this past summer tourist season, there is some relief in knowing that people are still coming to visit the Peninsula — even if they are turning to social media, the Internet and electronic directionfinders to find their way here. That might mean fewer actual It’s this local physical visits knowledge that to information can point visitors in centres, but staff at those facilities the right direction are tapping into the online market to get the word out about the greater Peninsula area. Visitors, should they decide to pass on these centres, are missing out on a lot of local flavour by not dropping in to the local Visitor Information offices. Not only are they a treasure-trove of publications (local and regional), maps that are accurate (some GPS systems are a little behind, say Information Centre staff, based on customer comments) and friendly advice, but they can also provide people with a little more colour about local destinations. It’s this local knowledge that can point visitors in the right direction — or at least in the direction of the goal of their trip. After all, some folks want to simply get lost in a community. Sometimes, that in itself is a great way of getting to know an area (as long as they can find their way out again). As a central meeting place for visitors, the facility is a great place for bumping into people — either locals and staff who can give you the skinny on what’s what in town — or other travelers perhaps looking for the same thing. From personal experience, I can tell you that some of a trip’s best experiences can come from meeting new people and embarking on an adventure (or at least part of one) together. In the end, the ultimate goal is to reach people who are visiting the area and offer them the chance to have a great time. What do you think?

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW -Wednesday, October 3, 2012

www.peninsulanewsreview.com • A7

LETTERS Fall sitting could have done good work Premier Christy Clark’s comments about the so-called sick culture of Victoria have been rightly criticized. I take Ms. Clark at her word that she wasn’t referring to area residents, but to a sometime insular political culture in our capital. No one disagrees politicians must get out of the legislature to talk to their constituents. But surely constituency work is complemented by the important business of the legislature. Especially when, as under the Liberals, it convenes for just seven weeks. The need to get out of Victoria is no excuse for calling off the fall session, particularly by Ms. Clark who during her leadership campaign promised more

open, accountable government. Accountability to the electorate is only part of the reason why the legislature sits. As the name of the place implies, it is also to pass important laws that further the public interest. Consider the recent sawmill explosions killing several workers, causing hundreds of millions in property damage and crippling local economies. It appears the Workmen’s Compensation Board did not follow up on inspections revealing dangerous levels of dust, despite smaller, possibly dust-related explosions at facilities throughout B.C. Also, the provincial Office of the Fire Commissioner made recommendations in 2009 to strengthen the

monitoring and enforcement of fire safety in industrial facilities — recommendations ignored by this government. Given the history of tragic events, legislation on this issue that likely would have been supported by all MLAs should have been a priority for the fall session, now cancelled by Ms. Clark. Some believe, partly due to the occasional bad behavior of MLAs, that nothing important happens in the legislature. The last person who should be promoting this superficial stereotype is the Premier of our province. Gary Holman, provincial NDP candidate Saanich North and the Islands

Readers respond: Helping Jeneece, fake guns and poop Come on B.C., let’s help Jeneece How amazing, Rich Coleman MLA and the B.C. Liberals can find one hundred ways to get booze to our citizens, but they can take weeks to help a young lady who has worked so hard for the disabled and their families since she has been a little girl. Shame on you B.C. Liberals! Come on B.C. Let’s help Jeneece! Eileen Nattrass Central Saanich

Growing up, everyone had a BB gun The Sept. 28 Review had a front page headline error. Was it for sensationalism or just a mistake? The headline stated in large bold type, “Fake gun is seized”. When you read the story there was no fake gun, it was a legal non-firearm, nothing fake about it — a BB gun. Did the police really refer to this as a ‘fake gun’? It is not a fake gun nor a replica gun. Completely legal to own. A toy used by millions of kids over the past 100 years. A BB gun shoots a small round projectile at a very low velocity through a smooth bore activated by a spring compressing air. When I was growing up every kid I knew had at least one BB gun. Dennis Sorensen Brentwood Bay

Police, newspaper villified guns Re: Fake gun is seized, Sept. 28, 2012 I would just like to see if I have this right: It took police from two jurisdictions to deal with a few teenage boys with a BB gun? I guess that’s the best you can expect from two police forces whose most serious crimes normally involve people who have forgotten to put their seat belts on! What is truly terrifying about this story, other than the complete overreaction by police, is the fact that they seized private property and took these poor boys into custody when no crime was committed. If this is the reaction we can expect from police over these types of incidents, perhaps it is time for

them to hand over their guns, for the safety of the community. The Peninsula News Review used fear mongering and an absence of any facts to vilify guns, even fake ones. Is this the type of drivel we can expect from the new editor? This paper and the police should be ashamed of themselves. The police should, at the very least, return the property they’ve stolen. I would wager that all this incident accomplished was to instill a fear and distrust of police in more of our youth. But, the way things are going these days, that might not be a bad thing.

Take better care of our free spaces I’m feeling distraught about what my children and I encountered at the skate park recently. I’m the mother of two amazing youngsters who are excited every time we head to the skate park for them to bike. I’m trying to teach them how to be good stewards of the planet and citizens of our community. That is why I can’t help but wonder where someone goes wrong to leave their human waste on the top jump of the bike park. No, this wasn’t a dog dropping. How in our day and age does this happen? If someone really had to go I’m not opposed to heading behind a bush. But to deface the skate park with the knowledge someone is likely to run into your waste? It’s the worst kind of littering imaginable and I hope the person that did this gets turned in for some hours of community service. It’s bad enough people at both the Sidney Skate Park and the Rotary Club Dirt Jump Park leave trash all over the place, though both places provide receptacles. I only hope the people responsible read this and get a clue. Parents, let’s work together to educate our kids to how special this community is and why we’d like to keep and take care of those free places that many a youngster enjoys using.

The Tsartlip First Nation officially opened their new community and health care building Sept. 28 during a traditional blessing ceremony. The construction of the centre was long overdue, noted Health Canada Regional Director, Yosuf Ali, during a speech at the opening, and he highlighted the fact that having strong community leaders within Tsartlip is what helped them realize the dream of having the facility. “It’s the community leaders that made it

This building is another good start for the community ...” – Wayne Morris their priority to have good health care for everyone,” Ali said. “These (types of services) don’t just come about on their own.” According to Tsartlip first nation Chief Ivan Wayne Morris, the community population of Tsartlip is growing, and is the largest First Nation on Southern Vancouver Island. This past year the community saw a rise in Elder deaths, including his mother’s passing, which impacted the community. He noted having health services within their community will help members be able to source proper medical care. “The health of our people is (a) priority. This (building) is another good start for the community to rebuild and enhance the programs that service such a large population of youth and Elders,” he said. “We hope to continue focusing on culturally-driven programs and collaborate with Vancouver Island Health Authority for future programs.”

Beef recall now applies to Central Saanich Thrifty Foods store CENTRAL SAANICH — Thrifty Foods is informing the public that beef from their stores — including their Central Saanich location — is now part of a recall over potential contamination with E. coli bacteria. A public warning was issued on Sept. 29 by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. That warning was the initial news

that beef from XL Foods may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7. The CFIA is warning the public, distributors and food service establishments not to consume, sell, or serve the beef products described on their website at www. inspection.gc.ca/recalls. In a media relase Sept. 30 Thrifty Foods stated it has been affected by the recall at

its stores in Central Saanich, Quadra/Cloverdale, Admirals Walk, Hillside, Tuscany Village, Saltspring Island and at locations in Vancouver. The affected beef products have been removed from store shelves and to date, there have been no reported illness from Thrifty Food products. The affected products are associated with the same XL

Inclusive First Nations art show is coming BRENTWOOD BAY — A unique art show is coming to the Saanich Peninsula. The Community Arts Council is hosting the fourth-annual invita-

tional First Nations and Metis Art Show and Sale, an art show that represents all the First Peoples designated by the government of Canada.

Held on traditional Coast Salish territory, the show will also host artists from the Mohawk, Blackfoot, Cree, Ojibway, Navajo, Inuit and Chickasaw

Nations. This is the first time all of these groups will be represented in a continuous show, instead of a one-day exhibition. More than 40 new

and returning artists are expected to show their art, interact with the public and demonstrate their work. The diversity of art expressions will include: carv-

ing, weaving, prints, fabric art, drums, rattles, pottery, beading, leather work, painting, jewelry and more. The show will include work from Charles

Elliott, son Chas, Chris Paul, Doug Lafortune, Frank Lewis, Charlene George, Robyn Kruger, Selena Aurica Bondoc, Virgil Sampson, Brian Clark, Rachel McFarland, Rande Cook, Carolyn Memnook, Victoria Pruden, Selena Aurica, Lynn Hemry, Carol Grenier, Jessica Bekker, Gloria Valencia, Stephanie Papik, and Kevin Brophy among others. Order of B.C. recipient Charles Elliott’s studio on West Saanich Road is on the very land which he was born and raised. Charles started making Coast Salish art at just 11 years old, building tiny canoes out of cottonwood bark. Now, with 48 years in the marketplace, he is as busy as ever. “These shows give exposure to artists, bring the community together and help to bridge cultures because people want to know the stories behind these pieces,” says Charles. Charles has been coaching his son, Chas, in traditional Coast Salish artforms for the last three years. “I’ve always loved art. I’ve been surrounded by it,” says Chas, who carves small plaques and poles and — Black Press paints.

Eat those carrots before your dessert

hrills! I have just eaten the first carrot out of the big pot on the balcony. If was still pretty small, about two inches long, but nice and fat, and tasted marvelous, well, maybe not marvelous, but very tasty. Those carrots need thinning if they are ever going to be half as big as store-bought ones, but never mind, they are home-grown, and just need to be thinned out a little to give them room to put on weight. I must keep them well watered, but the balcony is beginning to look pretty “tatty” (I love that word), but it is October and one mustn’t expect plants to look as sprightly as they did at mid-summer. The geraniums, though, continue to produce big beautiful blooms, making a cheerful picture, in spite of the fading petunias, begonia, bocoppa and the bedraggled Clematis. This sounds so

I can’t help recalling my productive garden on Melissa Street which, thankfully, is in good hands and still producing a bountiful harvest. This reminds me that Thanksgiving is coming

Helen Lang Over the Garden Fence gloomy, but remember apples, pears and peaches are now ready to eat (most of them anyway) so that makes fall a happy harvest time. Coming from Victoria the other day it was fun to see all the ripe pumpkins in fields along the highway, some for Thanksgiving pumpkin pies, I bet, and others for Hallowe’en. Local “everbearing” strawberries are also available (at a price!). Just think of all those wonderful winter squash, turnips, beets, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, Swiss chard, kale, carrots and parsnips still growing in local gardens.

up fast, and I’m invited to my Pender Island daughter’s home for turkey dinner. I offered to bring both a pumpkin and an apple pie for dessert, but she declined, saying (rather huffily I thought) “I

make my own!” I don’t think it is good policy to recommend special places to buy things (in a garden column), but I’ve just got to tell you about the pies available at M&M stores. The pies

on offer there come uncooked so you bake your own, and they are delectable! If people rave about your pie, you don’t have to tell them you bought it. Just say, “I kept the oven just at 350 degrees

to cook it”, which is telling the truth — but maybe not quite all of it! Helen Lang has been the Peninsula News Review’s garden columnist for more than 30 years.

Twelve members from Manestream Vaulters in Central Saanich are home from Chilliwack with their bags a little heavier then when they left. The team members were competing in the equestrian vaulting (often described as gymnastics or dance on horseback) provincials Sept. 14 to 16 and they brought home nine medals. “It was really fun, we competed with about 12 different teams from all over, even from Alberta and the U.S., and we just did really well,” said Charlotte Galbraith, one of the team members from the Peninsula who nabbed gold. Galbraith’s mother, Carol, added the competition was more interesting than usual because of unforeseen circumstances with

Peninsula Panthers’ Spencer Loverock nails a Nanaimo Buccaneers forward, sending both players airborne during the third period of Friday night’s game. Loverock, the league’s best skating defenseman, has added a more physical element to his game this season.

Panthers extend home streak Team readies for a test from the league-leading Cougars Devon MacKenzie News staff

It was a tight one, but the Peninsula Panthers prevailed on home ice once again the past Friday night at the Panorama Recreation Centre when they downed the visiting Nanaimo Buccaneers, 2-1. Connor Logan, 16, and “Whistler Will” Finlay, 17, each scored their first goals of the season before the game was nine minutes old. Panthers goaltender Stephen Heslop helped the team hold tight for the win. The Buccaneers’ Garrett Dunlop made it close for the team when he snuck one by Heslop late in the second period, but the tal-

ented netminder would see that as his only slipup of the game. Late in the third, the Panthers took a couple of penalties and every time the Buccaneers’ forwards would throw the puck into the Panthers’ zone, Heslop would wander out of his net, corral the puck and send it the length of the ice to keep the team safe. In the end, Heslop blocked 28 of 29 shots directed his way while Buccaneers’ goalie Cameron Large stopped 28 of 30 Panthers’ attempts. “Heslop was instrumental in moving the puck out of our zone on the penalty kill. He makes it really tough for an oppo-

Vaulters’ season continues Continued from page A14

Both Galbraith and Cook hail from the Peninsula, along with their teammates, Madison Paquette and Kara Wick. Other team members included Vanessa Krause from Sooke, Rowan Belanger from the Highlands and Katrina Brooke from Victoria.

They will ramp up in the spring for their next competition which is scheduled for June 2013. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

nent to forecheck and it changes their game plan to a point,” said Panthers’ head coach, Rob Armstrong of Friday’s game against Nanaimo. Armstrong added he was “really pleased with the way we competed and focused for three periods. When a team can play with a one-goal lead and see a game out for two points, it tells me they care and are willing to do the little

things. We got pucks in deep and battled hard for the win.” The Panthers’ athome winning streak will be tested in earnest this Friday night when the league-leading Victoria Cougars make their way out to the Peninsula. The puck is set to drop at 7:30 p.m. at Panorama Recreation Centre. reporter@peninsula newsreview.com
