Fast track permits for Central Saanich Proposal would only apply to building permits Devon MacKenzie News staff
At their committee meeting on Monday night, Central Saanich district staff read a memorandum on the benefits of offering a ‘fast track’ residential building permit process that would see a faster turnaround on permits within the district. Currently Langford, Sooke, Colwood and North Saanich offer quick-turnaround permits, in some cases both two-day and five-day permits, and staff said the process would offer an increased level of service to developers, contractors and homeowners. “It comes down to educating (applicants) ahead of time and telling them exactly what we need on the applications,� said Director of Planning and Building Services, Bruce Greig. The fast-track permits would require applicants to ensure the highest level of detail is included on the application, thus making the job of reviewing and approving applications faster, he explained. Applications status can already be viewed on the district’s website, he added. The general consensus from staff on the fast-track process was positive, and councillors seemed receptive to the idea of offering an increased level of service to applicants. “I want to applaud staff on this initiative,� said Councillor Carl Jensen. “This seems like a great step forward for the district.� The fast-track process only pertains to building permits and does not pertain to rezoning applications. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Idle No More protesters from Saanich Peninsula First Nations communities blocked traffic on the Pat Bay Highway Wednesday.
First Nations event stops traffic Idle No More protest comes to Saanich Peninsula, shutting down the highway Steven Heywood News staff
Four First Nations communities on the Saanich Peninsula joined the nation-wide Idle No More movement Wednesday with a protest march that closed down the Pat Bay Highway for about an hour. Marching from the Tsawout First Nation in Central Saanich close to 200 people entered the highway at Mount Newton X Road. Police and traffic services crews were ready for the planned event and at 11 a.m. had re-routed most traffic onto alternate routes, such as West Saanich Road.
Organizer elder Eric Pelkey from the Tsawout Nation, addressed the crowd, stating the federal government’s recent budget legislation infringed on indigenous land and resource rights as outlined in treaties across the country. “Today, we are hoping that people recognize that we are still here,� Pelkey said, “and we’re still angry and we want to be able to go to the table and negotiate with (various levels of government).� The event and Idle No More movement in general, is an awareness campaign about the conditions on First Nations reserves and the impact decisions being made at

various levels of government are having on their communities. Locally, Pelkey said his community has trouble with access and economic development issues that they negotiate with the province. As well, he said he wants the local village sites for the area First Nations communities recognized under treaty. For many other people who came out to the event, it was a way to add their voice and support efforts at increasing First Nations participation among the decisionmakers.

Margaret Sarah Woltz and seven-year-old Owen Hancock work on the Grade 3 student’s reading skills on a wintery Saturday morning. Woltz has been teaching and tutoring children for 62 years.
Sharing knowledge for six decades Sidney resident Margaret Sarah Woltz has been teaching and tutoring children and still loves the work Devon MacKenzie News staff
Many people, when they retire from a profession, move their interests into other areas. Some pick up hobbies and others may even try their hand at a second career. But for 82-year-old Sidney resident Margaret Sarah Woltz, she never considered leaving behind what she loves to do. Woltz began her career as a teacher when she was 22-years-old. She taught for many years in the public school system at the elementary school level as well as kept herself busy during the summer months tutoring children. Woltz eventually retired from teaching in the public school system, and soon after she fell ill. Once she had recovered, she
took a job at a children’s bookstore. “Once I had worked at the bookstore I realized I had to get back into teaching,” she explained. “So I opened my own preschool in Ontario which is where I was living at the time.” Woltz continued running her preschool until the province started a mandated prekindergarten program. “After I closed the preschool I worked in retail and I taught at a dance school but every summer, no matter what, I still tutored children.” In 2004, Woltz decided to move west and found herself in Sidney where she took on a volunteer position at Discovery House preschool. Since then she’s kept up her tutoring and she specializes in helping children learn to read.
“I’ve helped a few children learn to read over the last couple of years,” she noted, including, she said, a young boy who suffered from dyslexia. “You have to teach dyslexic children differently because they do things differently and think differently than other children do. I always told the student, so he didn’t get discouraged, ‘don’t forget that Albert Einstein was dyslexic’!” she laughed. Woltz now tutors seven-year-old Owen Hancock, a student at Kelset Elementary School, in his reading and she says that interacting with children like Owen helps to keep her young. “I created my own Grade 3 reader for Owen by using his interests,” she explained, adding that she has to keep up on what’s popular with children.
“I watch Teletoon to see what some of the things these kids are interested in,” she said, while flipping through the Super Mario themed reader she custom made for Owen. “Now he actually gets to read something he’s interested in.” Woltz said she doesn’t see herself giving up tutoring any time soon. “I’m so blessed to be able to still do this at my age and I really feel that it keeps me young. The kids don’t let you get old,” she laughed. “And not only do I teach the children but they teach me, they really do. If you listen to them, I mean really listen to them, they always have something to say. Teaching is something I’ve done my whole life and this is what I love.” reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Area First Nations communities turn out in force tal issues that they hold in common with all residents of Canada. Raechel Peter brought her grandson Anthony Peter to the protest. She said, as did her sign, that she was there to work for a better future for the children. Rae-Anna Peter, originally from the Tsawout community but who now lives in Duncan, came down for the protest to support her home nation. “My hope is the rest of Canada will realize that the (omibus federal budget) legislation isn’t just about us and our treaties,” she said. Peter added land, resource and environment issues involve the people and she said she hopes First Nations communities can be involved in future decisions that affect them directly.

Gail Sam, who brought her 80-yearold grandmother Mary Jack to the protest from their home near Brentwood Bay, said they came to support their community. “I’m not a political person,” Sam said, “but I’ll do anything to support the needs of our people.” To her, the Idle No More movement means Canada’s indigenous people aren’t going to sit back any longer and will express their opinions and work to be a part of the decision-making process in Canada “We hope they hear us,” added Jack. Sam added she hopes the event reaches people, increases awareness about living conditions on reserves, as well as the environmen-

District will educate people, not kill rabbits North Saanich decides not to control a growing rabbit population along Green Park Drive Steven Heywood News staff
Unable to quantify their numbers and ultimately unwilling to cull them, the District of North Saanich is choosing to educate people on rabbits and their propensity to be prolific. At their Jan. 14 committee of the whole meeting, council voted unanimously not to undertake a rabbit control program. Instead, they adopted a staff option to try to educate people on the issues around rabbit ownership and release, accidental or intentional. Part of that education material will include how property owners can respond to an exploding rabbit population in their yards. “It’s an issue we have found can have a lot of emotion,” said director of planning and community services Mark Brodrick. “There are two distinct opinions on it.” Councillor Dunstan Browne, chair of the committee session, read out a letter from Peter Hurley, the resident who first brought
the issue to council’s attention. In it, Hurley stated he was disappointed with staff’s recommendation not to proceed with a municipal rabbit control program, but recognizes the reasons why. Hurley did, however, urge council to help educate the public as a secondary option. Staff did include an option to use the district’s website and newsletter to provide information, discourage rabbits as pets in the municipality, discourage their release and offer recommendations on their control — from fences and repellents, to brush control and inviting more predators. Brodrick told council enforcing any new rules regarding rabbit control and release would be difficult, as would be asking the Capital Regional District (CRD) to add rabbits to its list of nuisance wildlife, which already includes deer, raccoons and geese. “The CRD wants to see local municipalities do something first,” he said. “In the case of deer, they wanted communities to create

added Mayor Alice Finall, expressing concern for any staff time involved. She also questioned Hurley’s call for the district to create some form of restrictive laws that would make it illegal to sell unsterilized rabbits. “We may not have the
Housing development updated Steven Heywood News staff
The District of North Saanich is getting closer to a final draft of an approvals process on a new sewer service expansion, caused by the proposed housing development at 9395 East Saanich Rd. In an information brief to council Monday night, director of planning and community services Mark Brodrick said the draft is expected in a couple of weeks. As well, other details being worked out with the proponents. Brodrick was commenting after Councillor Craig Mearns asked for an update. His request was opposed by Mayor Alice Finall, who said she didn’t feel it was appropriate to add it to the committee of the whole agenda. Committee chair Dunstan Browne, however, allowed it to be added. Acting chief administrative officer Patrick O’Reilly said the petition will be up to the proponent to put forward and the district would see it followed through. He said at this point it’s difficult to see how it would go when it comes time for resi-

dents to respond. A development agreement is also in the works, added Brodrick. “Staff needs to be comfortable with it, and then we need to seek the developer’s approval. Then, we put it before council for its endorsement.” Winning that, Brodrick said the agreement would proceed to a public hearing. If it survives that test, the agreement would be put on the property’s title before any move toward a development permit application. “How long will all that take?” asked Mearns. Brodrick said it’s “very, very close.” Mearns added it’s up to council to find out this sort of information, to have excellent discussion so that everyone can find out what’s going on.” editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

authority to do that,” she said. Browne agreed, saying such a bylaw would be tough and costly to police. Members of the public speaking to the issue Monday night said they didn’t think the rabbits posed as big an issue as it was made out to be. Bernadette Green, however, said it is an issue and would like to see more information for people on the district’s website and in the newsletter. Council unanimously voted to have staff publish information that would discourage the keeping of pet rabbits, discourage the release of domestic rabbits and to provide recommendations for property owners. The decision is expected to be ratified at council’s next regular meeting on Jan. 21.

Plans ahead for Island View Park Devon MacKenzie News staff
Central Saanich council was updated on what’s in store for Island View Beach Park on Monday night. During Monday’s committees meeting, council and staff heard a presentation from Jeff Ward, manager of planning, resource management and development for the Capital Regional District. Ward updated council on where the CRD stands with its planning process for Island View Beach Park, noting that a draft management plan for the park will be going to the Regional Parks Committee this spring for review and comment. Ward said some of the plans from the CRD for Island View Beach Park include maintaining the existing berm and examining the implications of extending the berm to the north, maintaining the existing drainage ditch system and monitoring its effectiveness in reducing the mosquito habitat and continuing the mosquito abatement program. Ward said there are also plans to examine possible actions to protect and restore the coastal sand dune ecosystem in the area as well as to develop a trail through the coastal wetland ecosystem area. Central Saanich resident and member of the Island View Ditch and Mosquito Committee Jason Austin addressed council, staff and Ward after the presentation with questions pertaining to the mosquito abatement program and how the CRD plans to control mosquitos on their park land. Austin added that there was a significant decrease in mosquitos this past year after the district cleared ditches on Puckle Farm which is adjacent to the the park. According to Austin, the level of mosquito control on Puckle Farm (contracted by the district to D.R. Reagan and Associates) was also down, but up in other areas that had not been drained. Mayor Alastair Bryson requested staff seek additional information from D.R. Reagan and Associates on mosquito increase in other areas and the abatement on Puckle Farm. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

OUR VIEW
Transit battle needs tough talk D
espite efforts to negotiate a new contract without disrupting transit service, members of the Canadian Auto Workers are taking off their gloves Jan. 22 and walking off the job. Fortunately for Greater Victoria commuters, the one-day strike action is just that – one day. However, that one day will see hundreds of extra cars, bikes and pedestrians on the roads, trying to get to work and school. Gridlock won’t begin to describe the Mediation may traffic chaos. workers’ be the way out of jobTransit action has been Transit impasse moderate so far with little visible interruption, but this strike will clearly affect everyone in the region. Longer strikes more than 10 years ago seriously impacted seniors, students and those with low incomes who regularly rely on transit. A 1984 strike, which lasted three months, crippled Victoria’s economy, and like mullets and Hammer pants, none of us wants to see that again. The two sides clearly aren’t motivated to reach an agreement, in fact they don’t even agree on what the main stumbling blocks are in the dispute – the union insists it’s all about the small buses and the lower-paid drivers, B.C. Transit says there are other issues at play, including wages and benefits. The two sides have both dug in their heels and the public is suffering, moderately so far, with only certain runs cancelled. But with the Tuesday all-day strike planned, it shows that an outside authority needs to step in and get it done. It’s amazing what sides in a dispute will do when the crisis hits. Just look at the NHL. They got a deal done when the season was on the brink of being cancelled. The best solution for everyone is for the two sides to get back to the bargaining table and realize that compromise is the only solution. The union has to be realistic and unafraid of new technology, and management must assure workers that it’s not out to crush the union. What do you think?

LETTERS Food banks perform a community service Re: Donations are an investment in the future, PNR, Jan. 9. I would like to make a few comments on the letter by Mr. Fred Langford in the Jan. 9 Peninsula News Review. A contribution to the Star Cinema and a donation to the Sidney Lions Food Bank are both investments in the health of our community. Happily, our local food bank has not had to get into the business of promotion because the need is well recognized in the support of the three core municipalities
we serve and the generosity of businesses, other agencies and the general public on the Peninsula. As a result of this support from our community, we can distribute $33,000 worth of food and vouchers, not cash, on average each month. We serve an average of 1,000 people, 350 families, each month who cannot otherwise feed themselves and their children for the whole month. While the possibility of abuse in Mr. Langford’s words, may exist, it is minimized by systems in place locally and
with other food banks in the region. I would invite Mr. Langford and any other interested person to visit our site and learn about our operation. In closing, I would suggest, given the economic situation worldwide and, yes, even in Sidney, that the sight of a beggar in the street would be much more common if it weren’t for the Sidney Lions Food Bank and other charitable organizations worldwide. Bill Foster, vice-president Sidney Lions Food Bank

B.C. Transit job action, planned kitchen scrap pickup
Transit drivers forced to take action
Many residents use composters or kitchen sink grinders for food waste, sending ground up kitchen waste into the sewer pipes, not into garbage cans. In my case the promised 37 per cent waste reduction would be more like five per cent or less, only bones. I use composters. The rare bit of meat that goes bad before we eat it goes into our kitchen sink grinder, not into the garbage or
Before criticizing the bus drivers one would do well to look at management’s actions. Management’s PR person seems determined to do every thing she can to inflame the issues, maybe just her but more likely she is a willing agent of senior management. It is difficult to comprehend how a CEO of any company qualifies for a bonus of greater than the amount of money many people are paid for a year when his staff is on a job action. Can anyone seriously think the president and CEO Manuel Achadinha deserves a bonus when passengers are standing in the cold waiting for a bus that doesn’t come because they have not hired enough mechanics to fix the buses? The longer the job action continues the more I realize the
workers have a point and are justified in their job action. B.C. Transit certainly does not need the PR spokesperson they have now. Dismiss her and they would have all the money they need to pay the transit drivers the additional money they need for the more qualified licenses. As much as the proposed job action on Jan. 22 will inconvenience me, I understand why the workers have been forced by management to take action. Norm Ryder Central Saanich
Homes with composters won’t see savings Re: 15 months until kitchen scrap pickup. Saanich apparently expects residents to leave meat scraps isolated and rotting in easily recognized containers for more than two weeks at a time, even in the heat of summer. That idea simply stinks.

compost. So much for the promised 37 per cent saving from every home. Whatever waste saving is achieved will come from Saanich residents who do not use composters or sink grinders. How were the results of the 583 homes in the 2012 “pilot project” adjusted for composter and grinder use at other homes before arriving at the 37 per
cent expected reduction figure? Are we going to find bylaw inspectors knocking on our doors demanding our kitchen waste or wanting to go through our garbage to verify them as free of vegetable and bakery kitchen waste? It also poses a risk of encouraging rats, raccoons, mice and stray cats and dogs to become even more of a waste headache than they already are.
How secure and pest resistant will the Saanich scrap containers be? How hard will it be for raccoons or dogs to open them or for rats to chew holes in the walls to get at the meat scraps inside? Once animals have learned how to get into one of them they will know how to get into the kitchen waste containers at other homes in the same neighborhood. Won’t processing by
an “organics processor” contractor result in the same net generation of carbon dioxide as a landfill? Turning vegetable waste into soil generates CO2, whether than happens in a backyard composter, at a commercial processor, or in a land fill. There is no point to simply moving methane and CO2 emissions from one place to another. Kelly Manning Saanich

BeefsAndBouquets A huge bouquet to all the wonderful citizens on the Peninsula who donated so generously to the 30th Annual Sidney Lions Christmas Hamper Program. Contributions came from many groups and organizations as well as many individuals. This year, we provided Christmas hampers to 455 families, all of whom reside here on the Saanich Peninsula. It is so heartwarming especially in these tough economic times to be a part of such a wonderful caring community. We, the members of the Sidney Lions Club, the Food Bank Board of Directors, Administrator and all the hard working volunteers are truly grateful. Another huge bouquet to our food bank Administrator Bev Elder and all of the hard working volunteers who put in countless hours, not just at Christmas, but all throughout the year. Bill DesLauriers, President of the Sidney Lions Club and Bill Foster, Vice President of the Sidney Lions Food Bank
I heartily commend the Sidney Business Association (SBA) and their sponsors for the recent organization of the Christmas Tree Festival at the Mary Winspear Centre. The festival generated a donation to the Sidney Lions Food Bank of nearly $800 which made it a very commendable holiday event. Thanks go out to those who donated and to Bob and Patti and the SBA’s sponsors for the great community event we enjoy every year. Please continue this noteworthy event in the future. Pat Bigwood On Dec. 17 I lost my wallet in the Thrifty Foods parking lot in Sidney. I want to thank the wonderful and honest person who found it and took it to the police station — I’m very grateful! It really made my Christmas. Sally Young

THE ARTS Friskie brings Elvis alive Three decades of hits included in tribute show in Sidney SIDNEY — Some Elvis fans never got to see The King perform live. Randy ‘Elvis’ Friskie is the closest thing according to some who would know, and he’s bringing his show to the Charlie White Theatre in Sidney Friday (today) and Saturday, January 19. He’ll sing three decades of hits, with some special guests. Because it’s the 40th anniversary of Elvis’ Aloha tour, Friskie is putting a big emphasis on hits from the famous Hawaiian trip of 1973. “We picked what we think are some of the best moments.” Friskie has been an entertainer his whole life. He comes by it honestly. He’s won contests in Vegas and toured all over with his tribute act. “My dad played 14 different instruments. We’d go camping and pull into the place with a full sound system and

Auditor offered two-year extension Tom Fletcher
renewable eight-year term, to avoid controversy as politicians vote on their own financial watchdog. The move is patterned after the federal government, which appoints auditors-general to a single 10-year term. NDP leader Adrian Dix has said his caucus was unanimous in seeking Doyle’s reappointment. All five MLAs on the committee must be unanimous for that to happen, and their votes and reasons are officially secret due to personnel privacy restrictions. The selection committee is expected to meet again Fri-
Black Press
Premier Christy Clark wants to amend the Auditor General Act to offer John Doyle a twoyear extension of his term, due to end this year. Clark told a news conference in Vancouver Wednesday that she has asked the three B.C. Liberal MLAs on the selection committee to offer the extension to Doyle, as they prepared to meet Wednesday with the two NDP MLAs on the committee. Clark said the amendments would change the B.C. auditor-general’s term to a non-
day to discuss the proposed extension. If they support the idea, it would be proposed to Doyle. The committee chair, Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster, was the subject of a random audit that raised questions about his constituency office renovations. The other two B.C. Liberals who form the majority are Chilliwack MLA John Les and Peace River South MLA Blair Lekstrom, both of whom are not seeking re-election in May. Burnaby-Deer Lake MLA Kathy Corrigan and SurreyWhalley MLA Bruce Ralston represent the NDP on the
committee. Opposition MLAs cite Doyle’s reports criticizing the recent buildup of BC Hydro debt and the state of B.C.’s forest inventory in the wake of a devastating pine beetle epidemic as likely reasons why Doyle wasn’t reappointed. Doyle is also leading a court action seeking release of detailed defence lawyer billings for former ministerial aides Dave Basi and Bobby Virk, whose $6 million in legal costs were covered by the province after they pleaded guilty to breach of trust in the 2002 sale of BC Rail operations.
Reduce Belly Fat! Increase Energy! Testosterone levels begin to diminish in men around age 30. In fact, by the time men are 60 years old, they typically produce 60% less testosterone than they did at age 20 (a man’s sexual peak). Many men over the age of 35 may already be feeling the effects of lower testosterone including:
Increased Belly Fat Low Energy
Low Libido Mood Changes
Decreased Muscle Strength Prostate Problems and more...
Unfortunately at the same time testosterone is decreasing, estrogen levels are increasing, causing further muscle loss and gain in body fat, making it extremely difficult to maintain a healthy metabolism. Along with a program of proper nutrition and regular exercise, researchers have discovered a group of naturally proven nutrients that can help you safely reduce excess estrogen while maximizing testosterone levels. Ultimate Male Energy™ contains 100% natural ingredients like: Chrysin, Stinging Nettle Root Extract, Indole-3-Carbinol and Broccoli Sprout Powder to help restore healthy, youthful hormone balance by positively affecting both estrogen and testosterone production, which ultimately helps a man look, feel and perform at his best.

The Vancouver Island Health Authority is on the lookout for an international superbug, screening patients who have been hospitalized abroad. Both the Royal Jubilee and Victoria General hospitals are following a province-wide protocol to isolate patients for 48 hours if they have been hospitalized in countries like Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. Doctors are taking the safety measures to screen for various superbugs including New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase, or NDM-1, an enzyme that is resistant to almost all antibiotics, said Sara Plank, VIHA spokeswoman. “We’ve seen two cases on the Island - one in Oct. 2011 and one in Sept. 2012,” Plank said. “Anyone who has had medical care or been hospitalized in a high risk country is tested and isolated, pending a negative test result. NDM-1 first surfaced in 2008, and has been on the radar of Health Canada since 2010.

Scottish curlers hold small lead in Strathcona Cup Steven Heywood
noting that between the west, central and eastern contingents of the Strathcona Cup, it’s the nation with the most shots overall that takes it. In 2009, it was Canada, during its tour in Scotland, that won back the cup. Scotland had held it five years prior to that. The event is held every five years,
News staff
A touring team has to be fit going into their trip, says Greig Henderson, for the rigours of it all can be exhausting. That includes the eating and drinking and socializing — not to mention the actual play. Henderson is the team leader for the Scottish curlers on the western Strathcona Cup tour. They were in Victoria and North Saanich Wednesday, holding onto a slight lead in points as they started play at the Glen Meadows Curling Club. “We were six shots up on the day,” he said,
since it started with a group of players from Scotland coming to Canada and the U.S. in the early 1900s. Ever since, Scotland and Canada have played for the right to bear the cup home. The visitors played at the Victoria Curling Club Wednesday morning, splitting the matches 2-2, but hold-
ing that small shot lead overall. Their results, said Henderson, will be combined with the rest of the teams for the final result. With curlers aged 43 to 73, Henderson said they had to be in shape for this three-and-a-half week tour. “The travel at times can be tiring,” he said. “But it’s mostly the food
and drink that people throw at you.” He added the Canadians have been great hosts and the team is enjoying its time here. The Scots were piped into Glen Meadows and posed for plenty of photos before play started. Watch the Peninsula News Review for more results and photos from the event.
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Steven Heywood/News staff

Rod (Roderick) Charles Pringle Born in Vancouver, BC, February 26, 1929. Rod passed away in Victoria, January 3, 2013 in the loving presence of his daughter and grandchildren, who were greatly supported by his nephew Dan. Rod is survived by his much loved wife Colleen, son Rod, daughter Kealey and grandchildren Emerald and Kelt. He will also be missed by his sister-in-law Mary, nephews Dan (Jill, Erin and Annie) and Eric (Sandy and Owen) and niece Lisa Kerr (Doug, Geoff and Iain). He was, and taught others to be: kind, loving, compassionate, gentle, sweet, accepting, forgiving, patient, honourable, generous, selfless, respectful, true, humble, stoic, stalwart, polite, passionate, determined, faithful, dependable, and constant. Rod loved to spend time with his family and we loved being with him. He had many lifetime friendships. Rod had a quiet, charming, clever wit. He enjoyed gardening, sailing, playing bridge and being outdoors. Rod loved being in the woods and on the coast, especially in any boat. He built a nutshell pram (row/sail boat). Rod lived with his mother, father and brother Geoff (predeceased) in Vancouver and White Rock. He attended schools in Vancouver, White Rock and New Westminster. Rod worked for the BC Forest Service and while stationed in Squirrel Cove, courted the local Lund school teacher. Rod and Colleen (nee Kealey) married in 1952 (60 years). They lived in Squirrel Cove, Alert Bay, Vancouver, Nanaimo, Britannia Beach, Burnaby, Vernon, Sidney and Victoria. Rod was Class President of the UBC BSF Class of 1957. Rod received his Registered Professional Forester status in 1970, retired in 1988 and was awarded a lifetime membership for his contribution to the forestry profession. Rod worked for several forestry companies, as well as his own consulting firm, in various places in BC, including Vancouver, Nanaimo, Britannia Beach and Vernon. After retirement and the family grown, Colleen and Rod left the family home on the lake in Vernon and moved to Sidney where Rod could be by the salt chuck again and close to his grandkids. Rod was a person who believed in being involved in the community. Notably, he was a School Board Trustee in Vernon, the president of the BC Schizophrenia Society, and a councillor with the Association of BC Forest Professionals. Rod and Colleen were also members of a Unitarian Fellowship in Vernon. Rod wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I leave with gratitude for my life, loved ones and friendsâ&#x20AC;?. The family sends much gratitude to the VIHA paramedics and the nurses in the Intensive Care Unit at the Royal Jubilee Hospital. A service will be held in the spring. Donations can be made to the Forestry Class of 57, University of British Columbia Alumni Fund. Condolences can be given at earthsoption.com.
