Coins for Kids effort News Review’s fundraiser is helping local children Steven Heywood News staff
This year, more than ever, it’s important that the community comes together to help children and families in need. The Peninsula News Review’s annual Coins for Kids campaign is under way, and we’re asking for your pennies, other coins and donations to help us meet or beat last year’s fundrasing total. In 2011, readers who gave to the News Review’s Coins for Kids effort raised $1,441 worth of coins and other donations. The money was given last winter to the Kiwanis Club of Sidney and the Peninsula, which buys gifts for children who “It’s important to would otherwise go ensure that the effort without. This year, after the we’re contributing to Kiwanis Club disbanded, ... continues to reach the News Review those children in need.” decided to get behind Rob McMillan of Canoe – Jim Parker Cove Restaurant and his Secret Santa: Toys for Tots campaign. This effort is reaching out to all local service groups to keep what Kiwanis started alive and well — and growing. “It’s important to ensure that the effort we’re contributing to — the toy drive — continues to reach those children in need,” says Jim Parker, publisher of the News Review. Readers are encouraged to drop off their coins at the News Review office, 6-9843 Second St. in Sidney. As the Royal Canadian Mint will no longer circulate pennies after February, 2013, Parker says the Coins for Kids campaign wants those collections of coppers that people have been saving up — as well as any other coins you want to donate. “We’d be happy to roll them up for you,” he says. The News Review is also interested in hearing from volunteers willing to help roll coins for the fundraising campaign. Call our office at 250-656-1151 to lend a hand.

This agreement is an opportunity to recognize the living history of the Tseycum First Nation on the Saanich Peninsula and to build a future based on respect and recognition,” said Chong. After the ceremony, Chong and Tseycum Chief Tanya Jones signed a Reconciliation Agreement which states that the province will provide the Tseycum First Nation with the $200,000 grant. Chong noted $150,000 is designated for the Journey Home Cemetery and the re-internment of Tseycum First Nation ancestors. She said the province will work with Tseycum to establish a roadside landmark that acknowledges and honours the history of the nation’s people. “It is a great honour for Tseycum to be a part of this event. It will be
a day in history for (us). The next steps to move forward will continue to be our goal,” said Jones. According to a press release, the province is also committed to further reconciliation efforts with Tseycum. The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and Tseycum have agreed to develop a plan for road improvements in the area that will benefit both the Tseycum community and the general public. $50,000 from the grant will be applied toward the cost of the ongoing engagements. “The Tseycum have an important connection to the land and sea and this agreement honours that connection. I look forward to working with the Tseycum as we explore improvements along West Saanich Road,” said Mary Polak, minister of transportation and infrastructure. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Squeezing the most out of their apples Sea Cider Farm turned a family hobby into a successful business in Central Saanich The next few editions of the Peninsula News Review will highlight businesses on the recent Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce Tour of Industry. Read about what they do, their challenges and success stories.
Steven Heywood News staff
“This has been a work in progress for years.” Kristen Jordan told a gathering of Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce members about the Sea Cider Farm and Ciderhouse, a business she and husband Bruce created out of her family’s love of making — and drinking — apple cider. Sea Cider was the chamber’s lunch stop on its Oct. 30 Tour of Industry event. “We’ve been asked many times, why cider?” she explained. “The simple answer is, I had apples.” For years, she and her family made cider out of their own apples at home. When she was a teenager, she inherited an apple orchard on Shuswap Lake in the interior. This history in her family led her to buy a piece of property in Central Saanich 15 years ago. It just happened to have apple trees and was near other farms in the district. “So, we bought the farm and I thought we could do something with it,” Jordan said. “So, I read the district’s official community plan and felt the community and the government had an appetite for this.” After buying the farm, Jordan embarked on creating a cidery, collecting apples from a variety of sources and turning them into quality ciders, some of which have won them awards. Apples come to Sea Cider Farm from Vancouver Island and the west coast of the mainland. They also support Lifecycles, a Victoria non-profit food awareness group that harvests apples from heritage or abandoned orchards in the area. Sea Cider gets apples from the group and donates proceeds from their final product back to the program. Sea Cider currently employs 17 people and Jordan calls it a small business — but one that is growing.

Sea Cider Farm and Ciderhouse owner Kristen Jordan speaks to Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce members about her business in Central Saanich. When they first started making cider, Jordan said they were producing 4,000 litres in their first
year. Today, that has grown to 60,000 litres each year. It is sold mostly to wholesalers in B.C. who
get it on the shelves in liquor stores. As they have grown, they have also started selling cider in Alberta and in the northwestern United States. “We started making cider for friends and family and now we’ve turned it into a business,” Jordan said. “We’ve really had to step up our game.” To do that, she said she attended ‘cider school’ at Washington State University, learning the latest tricks of the trade and cider-making methods. She essentially turned the family hobby into a local profession. In 2006, she said they built the Cider Room, an indoor dining area, laced with wood which was sourced right from their own farm. It gives the room a rustic look that’s appealing to their guests, she said. Sea Cider Farm has also branched out to offer catering and event service. “That has become a very important part of our business,” Jordan said.
That additional revenue stream enables the farm to weather the high and low seasons and to plan ahead for their cider-making process. It also helps them meet the challenge of making more cider with existing equipment. Jordan said they do have plans to expand as their own trees on the farm mature. She said that is anywhere from five to eight years away. From day-to-day, Jordan said she has an excellent team of employees — from cider-makers to sales staff. And that is translating into success. “Business is great.” To learn more, visit www. seacider.com.

• Mills Road resident Lenny Balaiah asked council to look into the construction safety issues and future parking impacts of a new care facility being created at 2269 Mills Rd. He’s concerned that worker vehicles will clog the area and wants answers to his query — eventually. Council did discuss the issue later in the meeting. Council approved a variance application that would relax the number of parking spaces and maximum lot coverage, subject to conditions (landscaping deposit, offsite works and the owners consulting with neighbours within a 250-foot radius of the property to address concerns). • Eight business owners in Sidney went on record as being in favour of a business improvement area (BIA) and accompanying levy, as proposed by the Sidney Business Development Group (SBDG). Prominent supporters now include the Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce, Sidney Museum, Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre and Mary Winspear Centre. • Council rejected a request by the Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce to put up $75,000 in each of three years for a proposed business
• Councillors will now be paid at the same biweekly frequency as all of town staff. The move was made only to make the payroll system more efficient and to save money ($800) in so doing. Councillor stipends do not change. • As town financial plan talks ramp up, staff presented some impacts on the 2013 Town of Sidney budget. Those include: an RCMP contract price increase of $117,000; elimination of the HST (financial impact yet to be known); lower building permit revenues; more use of the town’s surplus funds to balance the budget (an estimated $200,000); a firefighter hiring plan, and; creating of an event co-ordinator position. A draft budget will go before the committee of the whole on Jan. 21, 2013. • Council gave staff the green light to apply for a 2013 age-friendly community planning and project grant from the Union of B.C. Municipalities. The grant, according to a staff report, would be used to offset the cost of the town’s downtown traffic study. • The town received for information the Victoria Airport Authority’s five-year performance review.

Commissionaires pair with EasyPark in Sidney Town no longer dealing with parking ticket payments Devon MacKenzie
about parking or paying fines. “We really hope it’s going to be easier for everyone,” Blott said. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com
News staff
The Town of Sidney recently streamlined their parking ticket system by pairing with a Vancouverbased parking company. Parking enforcement in the Town of Sidney is overseen by the Commissionaires and they recently joined up with EasyPark, a company that offers parking solutions on the lower mainland. The partnership between the Commissionaires and EasyPark means drivers who get parking tickets in Sidney will no longer pay their fines at Town Hall. “The new system will offer more options for how people can pay parking tickets and how they can dispute them,” explained Sidney’s Senior Bylaw Enforcement Officer, Keith Blott. “We feel this system is going to make it easier for everyone involved including those paying tickets. It will also lessen the workload on our staff here at Town Hall since we were the ones dealing with payments and disputes.” Rather than paying parking tickets at Sidney Town Hall, payments can now be made to EasyPark online at easypark.ca or by mailed-in cheque. Disputes can also be handled online or by phone with EasyPark or directly by email through the Commissionaires. The Town has also enhanced the parking information on their website at sidney.ca. There is now a link that provides answers to some of the most frequently asked questions

The importance of proper estate planning The importance of proper estate planning cannot be overstated. Estate planning is the act of planning out your financial, legal, and other affairs in ways to ensure that your wishes are followed when you pass away or when you become incapable of making these important decisions on your own. Depending on your needs, your estate planning may be limited to a Will, or it may include a variety of other documents, including: Trusts, Powers of Attorney, and Representation Agreements. Estate planning may appear to be simple because clients know what they want; however, there are often complex issues that can only be spotted by an experienced estate planning lawyer. These issues have to be considered in order to put your plan in place. How you want to structure your affairs will depend on, and often be made more complex by many factors, such as: s your health status and mental capability (e.g. mental health issues, diminished capacity, disabilities, vulnerabilities); s the type of assets you have (e.g. land, bank accounts, business assets, personal assets); s the people you want to benefit or exclude (e.g. family, friends, charities); s the individuals you want to care for (e.g. children, elderly, mentally disabled persons); the family dynamics in place (e.g. common-law or legal marriage, blended family, second marriage, children, step-children); s the potential challenges made by other individuals to change your estate plan after death (e.g. challenges by spouses or adult children); s the applicable law that may affect your estate plan (e.g. company law, tax law, family law and Wills Variation legislation); and s the long-term goals you want to achieveThe above is by no means an exhaustive list, but is meant to provide a sampling of issues that estate planning lawyers must consider in preparing your estate plan. In forming a plan, both positive and negative contingencies need to be considered. Estate planning lawyers can anticipate many of the future issues which can arise and advise on an estate plan that deals with these contingencies in a way that is satisfactory to you. It is always important to review your plans at least every few years to confirm that they
still adequately reflect your wishes given your present circumstances. Without having spoken with an estate planning lawyer, you will not know what issues could render your estate plan vulnerable or invalid. Without proper estate planning, estate litigation could be the unfortunate result. Estate litigation typically arises after the estate planner has passed away or has become incapable, leaving the litigation on the shoulders of family members and those left behind. Not only can these disputes take years to resolve, but they are often financially and emotionally draining and may have significant negative impacts on the families involved. Be cautious of estate planning tools that appear to be “one-size-fits-all.” Proper estate planning is more than filling in the blanks about who gets what. The estate planning lawyers at McQuarrie Hunter LLP will work with you to develop a plan that reflects your instructions and circumstances, and does its best to protect your estate plan from challenges in the future. Most important, proper estate planning gives you the peace of mind knowing that your affairs are well-organized and “in order”. If you need assistance in creating an estate plan or would like more information, please contact, Kim Floeck or Allison Catherwood of McQuarrie Hunter LLP at 604-581-7001.

A legacy of giving In 1997, Kate decided to make a bequest for undergraduate awards in Medicine: “I couldn’t give a gift in real time, so I thought an estate gift was a good solution,” she explains. “It takes an organization like UBC to find a cure for major diseases like cancer, which is prevalent in our family. If I could contribute towards a cure, even in some small way—well, that would be awesome.” Kate’s generosity inspired her husband and daughter, who are also members of the UBC community, to follow suit. Robert is an alumnus who has worked in
DR. MICHAEL QUINN 1917-2005 Currently conducting cognitive research in Barcelona As Development Liaison Officer for UBC’s Development and Alumni Engagement, Kate Bush knows firsthand how estate gifts to the University help shape the experience of students through financial aid, academic opportunities, and extracurricular initiatives. “Supporting students and research is such a thrill. I can’t work in a place if I’m not passionate about the cause.” Plant Operations at UBC for almost 34 years while Laura works in Campus and Community Planning and is pursuing her degree at UBC part time. As a graduate of Physical Education, Robert plans to leave his bequest to the Athletics Department while Laura’s gift is currently undesignated, so it can be put towards the area of greatest need. “Students come to UBC to figure out who they are,” explains Laura. “You never know—you could be sitting next to someone who cures a major disease, produces a great composition or becomes the next Olympic champion. Students have so much potential, so why not support them?” Kate, Robert and Laura all agree that financial need shouldn’t bar any student from university. “If my gift helps someone gain access to higher education, that would be great,” says Laura. “People who undertake university on their own, without the help of parents or scholarship money, have a really hard time,” says Kate. “I like the idea of making someone’s life a little easier.” “Besides,” adds Robert, “you never know. The money you put towards UBC could benefit you in ways you never thought possible.”
Dr. Quinn’s wonderful gift gave me an opportunity to travel to Europe for the a new culture and research environment. With the UBC Vision Lab I have been studying how the brain processes visual information, and with the Multisensory Research Group in Barcelona, Spain I was able to expand this research to include touch. This has uncovered new knowledge about how we process information in our everyday lives. Understanding how the brain works under normal circumstances is a critical step in ultimately helping those with conditions such as Attention Deficit Disorder or Autism. Thank you Dr. Quinn. – Allison Brennan, PhD student Dr. Michael Quinn expressed his passion for clinical psychology with a bequest to UBC, ensuring vital funding for psychology faculty and students.

How to use ointments correctly
Joint public and council committees designed to tackle specific issues like safety, finances and parks, are no more in the Town of Sidney. Council voted Nov. 13 to axe four committees, some of which included members of the public. Chief administrative officer Randy Humble said it was done to better make use of council’s committee of the whole. The dissolved committees of council include the administration and finance, parks, protective services and sister cities committees. Humble said these functions will be rolled into council’s committee of the whole, which meets at least once per month. Decisions made at committee of the whole sessions are advanced to regular Marilyn council meetings for final ratiLoveless fication. Humble added the members of the public who were sitting on the protective services committee have been notified of the change. Most of the committees, he noted, were made up of councillors. There is no cost savings associated with the change, he continued, only efficiencies in how council uses its committee of the whole. Those meetings, he said, have been primarily for making development application decisions. Since 2008 however, he said those have been rare. As a result, the town has held fewer committee meetings. This change will roll those extra meetings into one or two per month. Coun. Marilyn Loveless said dissolving the sister cities committee does not affect the actual Sidney Sister Cities Association. She said council will maintain a link with that group, just not a specific committee. Likewise, added Coun. Mervyn Lougher-Goodey, the local Citizens on Patrol (COPs) group will continue, despite the loss of the protective services committee. It will now become a function of the committee of the whole.
Occasionally one uses prescription or non prescription eye ointments to treat certain eye conditions, infections or diseases. If you thought eye drops were hard to aim, try figuring out how to place ointment in your eye without poking yourself. Before you use any ointment, be sure to tell your Optometrist about any other prescription or non-prescription medications you are using or allergies that you have. Here are some general tips about correctly putting ointments in your eyes. 1. Always wash your hands before handling medications. 2. Begin by expressing and discarding a 1/4 inch of ointment from the tube at each use. 3. Form a pocket by gently pulling the skin of your lower eye-lid between your thumb and index finger. Squeeze a 1⁄4” to 1⁄2” strip of ointment into the pocket. 4. Twist your wrist to break the strip of ointment from the tube. 5. After placing the ointment in your eye, blink or close your eyes briefly. Your body heat will melt the ointment so it can spread across the surface of your eyes. 6. If you are applying the ointment to the edges of your eyelids, express about a 1/2-inch strip of ointment onto your finger and glide it across the length of your closed lids near the base of your lashes. 7. Use a soft, clean tissue to remove any excess ointment from the skin around your eyes. Be sure not to disturb the ointment placed in your eyes or on the edges of your eyes. Be sure to follow all of the instructions that your doctor of optometry gives you and to complete the course of medication or treatment that he or she recommends. If you experience any side-effects (such as burning, inflammation, puffiness, itching, etc.) notify your eye care practitioner immediately.

OUR VIEW
A Sidney BIA in the balance What a difference a week makes. On Nov. 13, the council of the Town of Sidney were asking their administrative staff if they had to take the many presentations of support for a proposed business improvement area (BIA) seriously. They were told those presentations were for information only, as the Sidney Business Developmpent Group (SBDG) hadn’t asked the town to approve a council inititiated approvals process — or counter-petition — on the matter. A week later, on Nov. 19, that is exactly what the SBDG did and those comments suddenly become more significant. In probably the last-surprising move to come out of the SBDG’s BIA push, they presented their plan to town council’s committee of the whole on Monday night. It included a request that council proceed with an alternative approval process. Council’s debate on this request occurred after the News Review’s press deadline, however a final decision will have to be made at an upcoming regular council meeting. The request itself is sure to spark significant debate among the councillors, not to mention the broader business community. And so it should, as it sets out an ambitious plan to vigorously market the area. With support from 76 business and commercial property owners — plus another 10 outside of the proposed BIA boundaries or not-for-profits — the SBDG does not appear to have the support of half of the stated 303 property owners or 380 business operators in the BIA catchment area. Which makes their pitch for a BIA in Sidney — like those that have gone before them — a risky one even in the wake of a positive campaign to date. Town council is sure to hear from many people as they make their decision on the SDBA’s request. Yet, it is still up to the business group to seek out the voice of the business community as a whole on this issue, for the impact of a BIA falls directly to them. What do you think?

The ministry reports that there are 2,221 front-line staff positions, of which 219 are currently vacant. It’s notoriously difficult to recruit, train and keep child protection workers, especially in remote communities. Turpel-Lafond says her latest figures show the child and youth mental health service has 476 staff, with 21 vacancies and a government-wide hiring freeze. And many of those are doing double duty as community service managers. Those managers don’t even have reliable data on case loads, she said. They just know they’re overwhelmed and many of the kids aren’t being reached. This is not about political blame. I can trace this problem back to when Grace McCarthy was children’s minister, and the NDP did no better. I’ve learned a bit about Riverview and Tranquille asylums that were closed because of a modern belief that they were inhumane. At least they offered safety and medical care to even the most damaged people. Right now our enlightened, progressive society can’t even help most of the kids we know are at high risk.

LETTERS Readers respond: Sidney BIA, the elderly, Victoria votes, pot Don’t vote for the status quo
Recently, a member of the Sidney business community came into my shop to sell me on a local BIA. Initially, this individual was charm personified. The benefits of a BIA were extolled and the support of 60-odd fellow Sidney merchants was mentioned. I asked this person how many merchants would have to pay if the BIA was adopted? The answer: approximately 360. I suggested it might be a good idea, given the past BIA attempts, to get a solid majority of at least two-thirds in favour before even taking the proposal to council. The individual’s demeanour suddenly changed and as my peer walked out the door, I was called a degrotatory name. Not everyone is in favour of a business improvement area. If it is adopted, those who were against it are going to have their money taken from them involuntarily. I think we owe these dissenters a high standard, which means a solid majority in favour. Then you can take it to council with high confidence and a clear conscience. Joshua Burke Sidney
Re: Victoria centre of political map, Nov. 16. It’s a good editorial but I must disagree with one phrase, “the future direction of the country does not hinge on the results of this by-election”. The future direction of this country could indeed hinge on this by-election for if Donald Galloway, the Green Party candidate is elected he will be able to double the Green caucus and their resources in Parliament. There is absolutely no doubt about the effectiveness of MP Elizabeth May as she was the first to alert the whole country about the dangers of FIPPA, the Chinese trade deal, as just one example. I, for one, do not want Canada to become a colony of China. I hope that all voters are paying attention to what is at risk here and vote for common sense. And don’t forget the Robocall cases which are coming up in court on December 10. Because this is a by-election, electing anyone except Donald Galloway is a vote for the status quo. M.J. Jordan Sidney
Comments aimed at the elderly
Nonsense on pot, passing for opinion
In response to the story on Nov. 9, 2012: “These pets are not the cuddly kind.” Various comments in this article really got up my nose. Primarily the ones aimed at the elderly, such as, “the old people who pay with pennies“ and the old lady who’s dragging her old man around with her” not to mention the smack at people with children. Not all seniors have huge bank accounts; many must stick to a tight budget and count their pennies literally. As for the “old lady dragging her old man around with her shopping”… just maybe the man has dementia and his wife is trying to cope with little help, with no choice but to take him along when she must go out. Even if this feature was written with tongue in cheek, it was disrespectful and hurtful to older people. “Friends,” who were of this persuasion and mindset would not stay a friend of mine for long. Margaret J. Jestico Saanichton
Re: Lead us not into temptation, Nov. 14. What a load of vitriolic nonsense passing for opinion. It is one thing for the author to have concerns about legalizing cannabis, it is to be expected; it is quite another for her to blather hysterical nonsense about a matter she clearly knows nothing about. One would think that if there was even an inkling of truth to Eileen Nattrass’ fear-mongering there would be hundreds if not thousands of young people and adults alike congesting ERs and doctor’s offices right across Canada. Such is simply not the case. What never ceases to amaze me is this notion among prohibitionists that youth and communities are being protected by the very system that, by default, delegates those substances into the hands of those who would corrupt the very same youth and communities that are supposedly protected. Go figure! Wayne Phillips Hamilton, Ontario

Restaurants raising money for Movemeber Steven Heywood News staff
Staff at Bert Minter’s three restaurants in Sidney are sporting moustaches this month — and even the female employees are getting in on it. Minter owns Woodshed, Beacon and Eggs and Fish on Fifth in downtown Sidney and he’s getting behind the Movember movement in a big way. “It’s a pretty great cause,” he said
of Movember, which is a campaign to raise awareness and funds for men’s health issues. “Sometimes guys need a kick in the ass.” Movember started with a focus on bringing prostate cancer to light, as many men in general are not open about such things. It has in recent years expanded to include other men’s health matters, including mental health, and has acquired large followings as people attempt to grow a variety of ‘staches for the cause.

Minter’s employees are on board, even the women, he said. They have been donning fake moustaches while on the job, helping spread the word about the fundraiser. Minter reached out to Rob’s Traditional Carpentry for a custom bench to raffle off to both his customers and the public. Until Nov. 30, the three restaurants are accepting donations of at least $5. That will qualify the donor for the draw. Minter said he has no specific fund-raising goal, but hopes to set a marker this year and expand on it in subsequent years. To donate, find a drop box at Woodshed on Beacon Avenue in Sidney, Beacon and Eggs (also on Beacon Avenue, but close to 7th Street) and at Fish on Fifth.

honoured Tea and fashion show at Sidney’s SHOAL Centre Steven Heywood News staff
Tomorrow, in the spirit of Remembrance Day and the month of November, Sidney’s SHOAL Centre hosts a special High Tea Tribute to War Brides. War Brides refer to the nearly 48,000 women who married Canadian servicemen during the Second World War. More than 43,000 British and European women and 20,000 children came to Canada to be with their husbands in an immigration effort sponsored by the federal government. On Thursday, Nov. 22, local war bride Myrtle Davis will be the guest of honour. Event organizer for the SHOAL Centre, Anna Hudson, says the tea will feature stories about the war brides and a collection of memorabilia from Liz Savage of the Sidney Museum. “War brides are becoming more scarce,” Hudson said, “so it’s important to pay tribute to these women.” While the activity centre’s dining room has space for only 60 people, Hudson said Thursday that the event was only two-thirds sold. So call 250656-5537, ext. 117, to see if there’s a seat available. The tea starts at 2 p.m. with an introduction and information given by a past-president of the Vancouver Island War Brides Association. It will be followed by a fashion show — depicting clothing from the war era — by Heritage Productions. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

NEWS REVIEW
but on others it seems a century. I was in Cedar not long ago with my brother and two of the grandchildren phoned to say they still missed Jim, which is a real compliment, as they weren’t even his. They were mine and they thought the world of him. Some of the male admiration came because Jim was a pilot in the Second World War. We took a photograph of a teenaged David wearing Jim’s uniform jacket, with his pipe clamped in the grandson’s teeth. He cherishes that picture. The girls admired him because he was handsome and a gentleman (I liked it too). Now about gardening, what can I tell you? What can I suggest? Well, Herb’s garden is pretty much asleep for the winter. I had quite a time assembling a bouquet for the dinner table one night when he was expecting guests. It ended up being mostly greenery. some trailing periwinkle, some brown sword fern, a few stems of fatsia Japonica varigata, several of St. John’s wort and in the centre a fresh-looking Hydrangea truss. It was a mixture created in desperation, but it
Helen Lang Over the Garden Fence didn’t look too awful when complete. A couple of candles would have helped, but I didn’t know where they were kept and my brother had no idea. The food was delightful and no one mentioned the bouquet, so it wasn’t really a winner, but at this time of year what can you expect? I had seen several Queen Anne’s lace plants which I coveted for this floral collection, but when I went in search of them, found that this “man of many talents” had obviously thought they were weeds and chopped them off at ground level. Oh well, we do the best we can with what is available. No one said, “What is that mess supposed to represent?” so we got away with it. My balcony garden looks pretty pathetic,
although the carrot foliage looks spry enough. The chard has given up and so far the shallots haven’t even shown up. I guess I was expecting too much this late in the growing season. I came home with a boxed amaryllis my brother wasn’t interested in planting, which was nice. I’ll start it off in a week or so, so hopefully it will bloom during the holiday season. I can’t bring myself to mention Christmas shopping yet, although the advertising already has started. It seems to begin earlier each year, stirring people up, so that by Christmas time they are nervous wrecks, wondering if they have forgotten a gift for Auntie Myrtle’s second husband’s uncle! Oh dear, Christmas gets to be a problem when it should be a time of happy celebration. I swear I won’t mention Christmas again until the beginning of December ... well, maybe I will, once or twice, when it seems absolutely necessary. Helen Lang has been the Peninsula News Review’s garden columnist for more than 30 years.

Proceeds from a new children’s picture book titled Island Santa, illustrated by local artist Sheena Lott and written by Sheryl McFarlane, are going to support a local foundation. Lott, an award-winning North Saanich-based artist, and McFarlane won’t accept any royalties from the sale of Island Santa and all the proceeds will go to Jeneece Place and the Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island. The book pays tribute to a former North Saanich resident, Kaare Norgaard, who used to annually transform his boat, the Blue Fjord, into a floating sleigh that delivered Christmas gifts to Island children who would otherwise have gone without. More than two decades ago, Norgaard established the Norgaard Foundation which recently donated $1 million to the Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island for Jeneece Place. Norgaard died in 2005.

A new children’s picture book, Island Santa, is illustrated by Sheena Lott and written by Sheryl McFarlane. The storyline of Island Santa follows a young boy, Sam, who wishes to spend the holidays by the side of his sister who is sick in hospital. Sam catches a ride on the Blue Fjord and gets a chance to become Santa’s helper and bring happiness to other children before he reaches his own family in the city. All the families who stay at Jeneece Place this holiday season will be given a copy.
Put the Peninsula at the Top of Your List!
The book, which sells for $19.95, is now available at Tanner’s Books is Sidney as well as Munro’s Books, Chapters Books and Bolen Books, along with many others.

BeefsAndBouquets Our thanks go out to North Saanich mayor and council, fire department volunteers and partners, public works staff, Meadow Oak Nursery, Deep Cove Market, G & E Contracting and Rodd Excavating for their support to our department and the community. All groups contributed to ensure our annual Halloween bonfire and fireworks were a huge success.
and give bouquets to a very nice lady who found my pouch I’d dropped while shopping on Friday, Oct. 26 at Brentwood Bay Rexall. The pouch contained my cell phone, nitro spray and money. It’s good to know good deeds are alive and well — Thank you Dr. G. Kalansky. Rene Evans
North Saanich Fire Rescue The Norgarden Knitters would like to thank the generous people of Sidney for their donations of wool and fabric to our group. We are a volunteer group of senior ladies who make items for children in third world countries. All the wool and fabric donated goes to a great cause. The Norgarden Knitters I’d like to thank the Sidney North Saanich RCMP for coming to my aid at two in the morning this past week. They were so kind and courteous and very prompt to help. As it turned out, all was well, but I’m grateful to know that we can rely on them for support at any time of the day or night. Pene Horton I would like to make a comment
Beefs to the people who keep making negative comments in respect of the helping the Star Cinema. These negative people keep saying we should be supporting the food bank, well, let me tell them, the Peninsula does. Our business community has just raised tons of food for the Sidney Lions food bank. The three municipalities have just had a friendly competition between staff and councillors and they all raised over $3,000. So, it would be nice if you naysayers kindly stopped condemning the people who do give to whomever or whatever organization they wish. I write this beef not as a councilor but as one of the many caring residents of this beautiful town. Kenny Podmore Send your beefs or bouquets to us at editor@peninsulanewsreview.com.

Health awareness in schools CENTRAL SAANICH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ReachOut Psychosis will be touring high schools and middle schools on Vancouver Island Nov. 26 to 30, including stops at Stellyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Secondary and North Saanich Middle schools. The tour raises awareness about psychosis and mental illness. ReachOut Psychosis makes this message meaningful to B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth with free school presentations. By identifying psychosis as a serious, but treatable medical condition of the brain this program works to help youth and
their friends and teachers recognize it early and get effective help. If properly diagnosed at early stages, medical treatment has the ability to not just turn young lives around, but to save lives. Performances by the popular Vancouver band Proud Animal and comedy by Barbara Adler are interspersed with interactive information and tons of prizes. For more information, visit www. reachoutpsychosis.com. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Submitted
