Peninsula firefighters growing Area fire chiefs say daytime firefighter availability always an issue, but manageable Steven Heywood News staff
Daytime emergency coverage is an ongoing concern for Peninsula fire departments, especially in Sidney, but a crop of new recruits and a mutual aid agreement with its neighbours help ensure people’s safety. Sidney Volunteer Fire Department Chief Jim Tweedhope says his department’s recent firefighter drive last fall attracted a dozen applicants. He said they will train eight of those starting this month. The basics of being a firefighter will be covered in-house, Tweedhope continued, with advanced skills and live fire training taught in Maple Ridge. The eight new recruits, should they stick with it and fill in the ranks, will help the Sidney department respond to emergency calls throughout the day. However, not all of the recruits or current firefighters are available during the day. This means more reliance upon Sidney’s four career firefighters and the mutual aid agreement between Jim Tweedhope them, the North Saanich and Central Saanich fire departments. “(Daytime coverage is) always an issue with volunteer fire departments,” Tweedhope said, noting people work, attend school and sometimes do those things outside of the community. “It’s a bonus if they’re available during the day,” Tweedhope said of his volunteers, “but we cannot make that connected to recruiting new firefighters.” In Sidney, Tweedhope said the department responds to an emergency call with five firefighters on a truck.

department is at a full complement, with 15 people on a wait list. “We have a little different demographic,� French said. “But daytime coverage is still an issue.� With five full-time firefighters on duty, they too can get a full truck to the scene of a fire or other emergency call as they await other volunteers’ arrival. Another five volunteers work for Central Saanich’s public works department and can respond quickly as well. In North Saanich, assistant fire Chief John Trelford said they graduated eight recruits
last September. With 40 members today, he said the department is right where it needs to be. The North Saanich department has three full-timers, 40 volunteers and one administrative assistant. “Daytime coverage can be an issue,� Trelford said, noting it hasn’t been a concern of late. “But we do have the mutual aid agreement with the other departments.� Recent changes to the B.C. Building Code addressed fire response time issues when it comes to the location of the fire hall to new
buildings. Tweedhope said the Code doesn’t change how the department responds to a call, or the number of firefighters needed per truck. He said Sidney meets the standard of response time set out in the Code — 10 minutes or less, 90 per cent of the time — and has exceeded that standard regularly. In Sidney, Tweedhope said the fire department is always looking for new people. Generally, they start training in January each year, so anyone who wants to join up will be added to a list for the next recruitment round.
Former MP Jack Frazer remembered by family Reform MP and veteran died Dec. 17 VICTORIA — The family of John (Jack) L. Frazer has announced his death on Dec. 17, 2012 in Victoria after a brief illness. He was 80. Born in Kamloops on Dec. 20, 1931, Frazer was MP for Saanich and the Islands from 1993 to 1997 under Preston Manning’s Reform Party. During that time, noted son-in-law Kelly Mann in an email, Frazer served as Defense and Veterans Affairs Critic and Deputy Whip. His Private Members Bill establishing the Canadian Peacekeeping Service Medal was passed into law in 1997. Retiring from politics in 1997, Frazer was appointed to the Veterans Review and Appeal Board. Prior to politics, Frazer was a colonel in the Royal Canadian Air Force, flying with the Golden Hawks, a predecessor to today’s Snowbird aerobatic team. While posted to Zimbabwe in 1985 as a military attachÊ, a coup d’Êtat occurred in Uganda, where he was on a routine visit. Frazer assisted
in organizing the evacuation of citizens of western nations from Uganda to Kenya. For this service, he was awarded the Meritorious Service Cross by Governor General Jean SauvĂŠ. “He was very well-liked by the veterans’ community for his assistance and support of retired servicemen and women all across this great nation,â€? noted William Willbond, national president of International Canadians for the Relief of Starvation and Suffering (ICROSS CANADA). Frazer had been the Gulf Islands director of ICROSS CANADA. Frazer and his wife June retired on Salt Spring Island. They were regular supporters of Legion Branch 92 and patrons of the Chemainus Theatre. Frazer leaves behind his wife, three children, five grandchildren and one great grandchild. A celebration of Frazer’s life will be held Jan. 24 at the Victoria Airport, in the 443 Squadron Hangar, at 1 p.m. — News staff

olunteering with Sidney Thrifty Foods’ Sendial program is something Lillian Tripp doesn’t see herself stopping anytime soon. After all, she’s been a volunteer with the phone-in grocery service since 1987, just after its inception. “I’ll keep doing it as long as I can. I just love it, I’m going in next week like I always do,” laughed Tripp when she was asked if she plans on keeping her volunteer position with the service that helps seniors and shut-ins get their grocery shopping done. Not only has Tripp volunteered with the Sidney Thrifty Foods Sendial program for 25 years, she’s also been a Sidney resident since 1926. “She’s a very sweet person that everyone loves,” said Sendial Captain Sandy McCallum. “She’s in her late 80s but she’s been doing it for 25 years now and still volunteers. She’s amazing.” Last month at the annual Sendial volunteer luncheon, Tripp was awarded with a 25-year service pin from Thrifty Foods. “It was a great honour,” said Tripp of the award. “I was escorted Submitted photo up to front to accept Peninsula resident and Sendial my pin by a couple of volunteer Lillian Tripp stands with gents including Jason Thrifty’s President Jim Dores (left) Boudewyn who was and Director of Retail Operations the old (Sidney) store Jason Boudewyn during the manager. It was nice to ceremony where she received see him,” Tripp said. her 25 year service pin. Sendial volunteers work the phone Sunday, Monday and Wednesday and on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday Thrifty’s Employees shop the orders that were taken the previous day. “Thrifty’s rings the orders through and delivers them,” explained McCallum, who estimates volunteers fill about 25 to 30 orders per day, or close to 100 a week. “It’s really a fantastic service for people,” said Tripp. “That’s why I keep doing it.” reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Chamber announces new executive director Chris Fudge to take the lead with the Peninsula Chamber Devon MacKenzie News staff
After the position being vacant for close to five months, the Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce announced last week they appointed a new candidate to the position of Executive Director. On Jan. 4, the Chamber announced that Chris Fudge would be taking on the position vacated by Doug Taylor whose contract was terminated by the Chamber on Aug. 24. According to a press release, Fudge served as Senior Manager of Member and Visitor Services for Tourism Whistler as well as spent three years with the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. “It was important for us to find an engaging executive director who understood our diverse region on the Peninsula, the unique needs of our
membership, and the proven experience to lead our Chamber for many years ahead,” said Mark deMedeiros, President of the Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce board of directors. Born in Ottawa, Fudge spent the last 16 years in B.C. and recently relocated to Vancouver Island from Squamish. He is married with two children and is an avid downhill skier and mountain biker. “I am delighted to have the opportunity to join the Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce and look forward to providing our members with new and innovative resources to successfully navigate the current business environment,” Fudge said. “Members can expect to see a highly functioning organization working on their behalf, and I invite anyone looking for new opportunities for their business to join us.” reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Transit is awaiting comment from B.C.’s Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner on the use of audio recording before it presents the proposal to its board this month. Should privacy commissioner Elizabeth Denham identify potential concerns with audio recording on buses, video surveillance will
still move ahead, Burton added. The final price tag will sit somewhere between $4 and $6 million, depending on how many municipalities choose to buy the closed-circuit TV cameras. In 2011, a federal government assessment estimated it would cost $10 million to install cameras on the B.C. Transit fleet in all of the 123 communities it serves. The revised price tag is due to infrastructure upgrades that have since been completed,
VICTORIA — The new year, brings increases in health care deductions in B.C. For the fourth year in a row, the provincial government is raising monthly Medical Services Plan (MSP) premiums from $128 to $133 per family, or an extra $60 a year. However, only those making more than $30,000 a year will be affected. “Nearly every British Columbian will be paying more in 2013, further cutting our purchasing power and ability to save,” said Jordan Bateman, regional direc-

tor of the Canadian Taxpayer Federation, adding MSP premiums are a tax that virtually every Canadian pays, except in cases where employers pay for their employees. “The MSP is a grossly unfair, regressive tax. If you make $30,001 a year, or $3 million a year, you pay the same $133 a month. MSP is for the little people who don’t work for government.” MSP charges have increased 24 per cent over the past three years, accruing an extra $300 in annual cost to taxpayers.
Some Canadians will also be faced with increases in Employment Insurance and Canada Pension Plan deductions. For those earning $47,400 or higher, EI premiums increase by $51.50 to a maximum of $891.12 per year. Employers will pay $1,247.57 annually, a hike of $71.61. Workers making $51,100 or more will pay the maximum $2,356.20 for CPP, up by $49.50, while the employer’s share jumps by the same amount to a total of $4,712.40. — Victoria News/Black Press

Glaucoma is a disease that is characterized by higher than average pressures within the eye. Those higher pressures can cause optic nerve damage, which in turn may lead to vision loss. Most types of glaucoma do not have any dramatic or painful symptoms, but develop slowly and subtly over a period of time. Since peripheral vision is generally affected ďŹ rst, most patients never suspect they even have a problem. For that reason glaucoma is called “the sneak-thief of sight.â€? Although the most common type of glaucoma cannot be cured, if detected and controlled early, vision can be preserved. Early diagnosis is of paramount importance as the damage to sight can not be reversed, but its progress can be halted. Who is at risk for developing glaucoma? Risk factors include: • Family history of glaucoma • Being over the age of forty • Elevated intraocular pressure • Diabetes • High myopia (nearsighted) • Being of African descent • Smoking (another good reason to quit) Your optometrist will routinely check your eye pressure, examine the optic nerve at the point where it enters the eye and assess other risk factors. The optic nerve changes in appearance as glaucoma damages the nerve ďŹ bers. Visual ďŹ eld testing can be arranged by your optometrist to check the sensitivity of both your central and peripheral vision. If your optometrist suspects that you have glaucoma, you will be referred to an opthalmologist. If the diagnosis is conďŹ rmed, treatment will be initiated. Medication to decrease uid production or increase drainage is often used to reduce intra-ocular pressure. Compliance to the medication schedule is essential for the preservation of vision. The best way to prevent damage from glaucoma is never to let it progress. You should have your eyes examined regularly to avoid this preventable loss of vision.

OUR VIEW
Public input includes people T
he key to public hearings is obviously public input. With the Enbridge hearings in Victoria shutting out residents interested in attending the proceedings and Victoria MLA Murray Rankin being refused entry, the government is not leaving us with the impression that public interest is welcome. The process of registering to speak is tried and true. However, relegating the great unwashed to a hotel kilometres away from where the hearings are taking place, allowing the public only to view the proceedings in a video feed from fixed cameras is not open, transparent information gathering. We all want the sessions to run smoothly without interruptions from noisy protesters. Ugly disruptions create an oppressive atmosphere, rather than one of courtesy and respect, which enables everyone to voice their opinion without feeling threatened. However, posting uniformed police outside the hearing room and forcing the public to view the hearings from a distance of more than two kilometres only alienates the people who it is trying to engage. Talks held across the country have been uneventful. The most threatening event so far has been a large community gathering which formed a welcoming committee of sorts for the panel at the Bella Bella hearings. That situation delayed the process by one day. The Enbridge pipeline proposal is controversial. For some, registering their name in advance, standing in front of a panel of strangers, explaining their concerns or expressing their approval is comfortable and acceptable. For others, voicing their concerns in an oldfashioned, free-spirited way with placards and songs is the way they want to express themselves. And for some of us, being able to see and hear the presentations for ourselves is how we become involved. Separating the people from the process is not the way to earn trust and make sure the public interest is served. What do you think?

Greg Fjetland in Canadian Business magazine describes how he came by his approach to Ottawa. He grew up “dirt poor, living in a tar paper shack.” His family name was Tousawasket, until the local Indian Agent drew an Anglo name out of a hat. He and his brother were the first aboriginal kids to attend public school in Kelowna. Racist bullying drove his parents to move him to a residential school in Washington State. He dropped out in Grade 9, toiled on farms, learned to weld and worked his way into ranching, real estate and politics. He never gave up or backed down, ever. The Hall commission and all previous government probes concluded that he did nothing wrong. Derrickson sued his local accusers and won and Ottawa began to change its racist, paternalistic ways. Which brings us back to today. Derrickson’s pioneering work is still changing the Indian Act for the better. This effort is under dishonest attack from people whose legacy is mainly incompetence and failure. Protesters demand more unearned public subsidy and a petulant souponly strike is celebrated as an act of bravery. Choose your own hero. I’ve chosen mine.

LETTERS Donations are an investment in the future
J
anna Reimer wonders why the Star Cinema can raise $158,000, while the food bank cannot. (PNR, Jan. 2). The answer is, they are different. When I contribute to the Star Cinema, (or Knowledge, or PBS for that matter), I expect to get unique entertainment or information in return. I do not make a contribution, I make an investment in future programs. When I contribute to the food bank, I get nothing back, except perhaps satisfaction for ‘helping the poor’.
Readers respond: For as much as the market will bear It is clear that all that is happening at the dense residential development proposal on East Saanich Road near the airport is that Mr. Lunn is collecting his time honoured rewards after a decade in political office. The shame is that the terms ‘workforce housing’ and ‘affordable housing’ are used to conceal the true nature of this business venture. Mr. Lunn is a property speculator. He will build as many houses as he possibly can in the area he has owned since the spring of 2012 and he will sell them for as much as the market will bear. Bert Slater North Saanich
Respect the public process The Peninsula News Review has recognized two very different approaches being taken by local municipal councils to manage development. In the July 27th editorial regarding development in Central Saanich, the News Review comments: “Luckily, Central Saanich is postponing any further movement on the issue of densification until adequate feedback is received.” In contrast, a recent December 24th editorial describes the situation in North Saanich as “Fast-tracking the East Saanich
It is called charity. With the food bank I am never sure what efforts they make to see that my money is properly spent. When something is free, there are always lots of people around who will abuse it, and the food bank is no exception. I don’t recall ever seeing anything put out by the food bank to describe the criteria and methods it uses to ensure my contribution goes only to the people who need it.
The other day I saw a beggar, in Sidney of all places, who had his cup at his feet and a cigarette hanging from his lips. Would my coin help feed his body or his tobacco habit? How many people use the food bank to save enough to buy smokes or booze? If the food bank needs more, it would be a good promotion to show how they ensure the donations are well used. Until then I will give to the Sally Anne. Fred Langford Sidney
Development on the Peninsula, working longer, tabs represent a story
Road project — in lock-step with the consultation process — is so far failing. It’s led to council acrimony and mediation, to dug-in positions from council and residents who seem to take contrary positions no matter what the debate is about.” How can a North Saanich council with dug-in positions be open to the feedback arising from a consultation process, particularly when development decisions are being made before the feedback has been received? A North Saanich council that asks for feedback but makes decisions before the feedback is received sends a clear message that it respects neither the process, nor those who participate in it. Let’s hope there is a change so those who participate have a genuine opportunity to shape the outcome. Peter Chandler North Saanich
Happy to keep working I ran into an old colleague recently. I learned that flight attendants no longer have a set retirement age. As a matter of fact there are now a number of retirees who will come out of retirement and return to active duty. I used to work with two of the ladies mentioned to me. Both are now 70 years old. Both will probably run circles around some much younger colleagues and you would enjoy being in their care.
When the Harper government introduced a change in retirement age from 65 to 67 by 2020, I was thinking of all these people who are now happy about the change. Those who are not can still take early retirement. Besides airline people I know many others, way past 70, who still enjoy going to work selling insurance, managing property and doing other work that gave them pleasure all along. Where does the NDP find the people crying ‘victim’ all the time? Ziggy Eckardt Burnaby, B.C.
A neighbourly idea I loved Friday’s (January 4) front page photo of the “Take What You Need” poster. What a novel and neighbourly idea! My immediate thought — what was the first tab taken? And why? Each of these tabs represents someone’s story. Robert Thompson Saanichton
Motivation can lead to abuses Re: When a senior is in trouble (News online, posted Dec. 20) A fundamental enabling factor for elder abuse is the notion that relatives are automatically good people. It’s almost a form of reverse racism – thinking collective
instead of on content of character. Scummy people tend to be good at convincing others to do dumb things. Fostering feelings of guilt is one of their tactics that seems to work well with many older people. People need to realize the risk and be willing to defend themselves. Keith Sketchley Saanich

In addition, snow and ice will be cleared from the sidewalks at intersections and bus stops, with general priority given to locations serving higher pedestrian volumes.

Please remember your elderly or disabled neighbours who would appreciate your assistance. Your efforts to make Sidney a safer all-weather community are greatly appreciated. P.

B.C. youth take over the legislature Daniel Palmer News staff
A packed B.C. Legislature has been teeming with debate over controversial bills, including the reinstitution of the death penalty and a ban on aggressive dog breeds. But it wasn’t MLAs filling the seats of the legislature. For five days, 95 people aged 16 to 21 descended on Victoria for the 84th annual B.C. Youth Parliament, a model organization that serves as a political training ground for engaged students. “We debate legislation, present legislation to the members that is important to our organization. It frames the (activities of our) organization throughout the year,” said Sarah O’Connor, Premier of BCYP. Originally from Lytton, O’Connor now lives in Victoria and works as a legislative assistant. She credits her early years with the youth parliament as a catalyst for her enthusiasm for politics. “It’s an amazing experience. You learn so much, you gain so much real knowledge and confidence,” she said, standing in the lobby of the legislature before session. The parliament runs like any other, as legislation is tabled, debated and passed. Members are free to propose amendments, and they hone their public speaking skills quickly in a room full of nonpartisan peers. O’Connor sympathized with many of the students who were participating for the first time this year. “I remember it being terrifying, so overwhelming,” she said. “You’re in the chambers, there are people who look

Sarah O’Connor, Premier, from Victoria (left) and Allie Dickson, Leader of the Opposition, from Burns Lake took part in The British Columbia Youth Parliament’s 84th Parliament in the provincial legislature building December 27 to 31. and are a lot older than you, who are more confident than you, and you’re sitting in the back just trembling. But it’s an amazing experience.” Allie Dickson is in her fifth and final year with the youth parliament. Serving as opposition leader, she hails from from Burns Lake and goes to university in Prince George. “It’s a life-altering experience,” said the 20 year old. “Before, I was very shy and didn’t know how to public speak at all. (By) my second year, I was defending legislation and in the third year, I was defending acts.
“And now I’m the leader of the opposition.” The application process involves submitting a personal statement and doing a minimum number of hours of volunteer work in the community. Around 140 applicants vied for the 95 spots from six regions across B.C. The charitable organization is kept afloat by its many alumni, including current Richmond East MLA Linda Reid. Other notable alumni include artist Jack Shadbolt and B.C.’s youngest attorney general, Robert Bonner, who served in the W.A.C. Bennett cabinet of the 1950s and ’60s.
“Even if you’re not interested in politics today, it gives you a better understanding of the system and it gives you a better understanding of what goes on,” Dickson said. She admits she may not have even voted when she turned 18 were it not for her experience with BCYP. “You can look at politics today and see how they’re debating the same issues. They may have more of an effect on everybody, but for us, it’s as real as it gets.” To learn more and view the application process for 2013, visit bcyp.org. dpalmer@vicnews.com
