Something to write home about Grade 5 Kelset Elementary School student finishes as semifinalist in writing competition Devon MacKenzie News staff
Ten-year-old Abby Blecic, a Grade 5 student at Kelset Elementary school, quietly celebrated being named a semifinalist in a national writing contest last week. “She is very humble,” laughed her mother, Melanie. Abby was one of 20 semi-finalists announced earlier this month in Genworth Financial Canada’s annual Habitat for Humanity Writing contest. The contest was open to Grade 4, 5 and 6 students from across Canada and required that students submitted a small story, poem or video about the meaning of home. The contest serves to bring awareness to the importance of what Habitat for Humanity stands for. “What she wrote really resonated with my husband and I,” said Melanie. “We always talk to our kids about the importance of home and the difference between a house and a home so it was very neat to see it come out in her on paper.” Abby wrote the poem at school as Abby Blecic part of a class activity by her teacher, Susan McRae, who was the one who actually submitted the poem to the contest. “Mrs. McRae received the letter last week that said Abby was one of the semi-finalists,” said Melanie. “Abby was super excited when she found out but she’s very humble so she was definitely quietly excited,” smiled her mother. The students wrote the letters in the late fall and once Abby had heard she was named a semi-finalist last week, she was asked to read the poem for the school. “It was family literacy last week, so she was asked to read the poem for the whole school which was really special.” PLEASE SEE: Abby’s perfect image of how home feels, page 4

Police seek pet carry case owners Devon MacKenzie News staff
On Jan. 24, Sidney North Saanich RCMP got a call from a concerned resident who reported a suspicious man going through the recycling bins in an apartment complex parking lot. The man was also reportedly trying door handles of vehicles in the lot to see if any had been left open. When police arrived they found a man matching the description of the suspect. The man was discovered to be in
possession of a blue and gray plastic Pet Voyager 200 pet carry case. The male is known to police and the pet carry case is not believed to belong to him. Police are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the owner of the pet carry case which measures 12 inches high, 14 inches wide and 22 inches long. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Sidney North Saanich RCMP at 250-656-3931.

Name sought for the new octopus SIDNEY — What do you name an octopus? After releasing Steve the Giant Pacific Octopus on Jan. 27, the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre (SODC) found a replacement — a female cephalopod. She will take Steve’s place after he spent six months at the aquarium. In a media release, the SODC announced a contest to name their latest addition by Valentine’s Day. “What better name than that of your sweetheart/lovekins/ schmoopie?” said director of marketing Christina Smethurst. “If you’re looking for a fun and original Valentine’s Day gift, take a chance and enter our octopus naming contest!” The aquarium is asking for 50 words or less on why your partner — or mom — deserves to have an octopus named after them. The individual who submits the most compelling explanation, wins. Submissions must be made to the ballot box at the aquarium (at the Take Action station). People have until Tuesday, Feb. 12 to submit an entry. The winner will receive notification the following day and will be invited to the aquarium to meet the new octopus.

Coroner rules festival death an overdose last saw him at about 9 p.m. on August 11 in their tent, when he told them he had some cocaine. At about 6 a.m. the following morning, another festival-goer found him unresponsive on a chair in the food court area. Medical staff moved him to a Mitchell first aid station and an Fleischacker ambulance was called. Fleschacker was taken to the regional hospital in Trail, but en route his pulse stopped and attempts to revive him failed.
He was pronounced dead by the emergency room doctor around 6:45 a.m. A toxicology exam found morphine and diazepam in his blood, although it’s unknown if he had a prescription for either. The exam also detected cocaine, MDMA and GHB. “The combined effects of these drugs led to pul-
monary failure resulting in death,” the report said. “The source of [the drugs] is unknown. His ingestion of these medications was not witnessed.” Fleischacker’s death was the first in Shambhala’s 15-year history. He grew up in Stettler, Alberta and worked at a sheet metal company in Victoria. He was in trouble with the law a few years ago for drug possession and underwent treatment. — Nelson Star/Black Press

• An old bylaw on council remuneration that had been started in 2008 and never completed due to an oversight was finally adopted during the meeting. Council asked staff if there were any other outstanding bylaws or similar housekeeping issues that hadn’t been dealt with. So far staff have not noted any others. • A long discussion on the town hall project’s next steps took place during the meeting. Council seemed to agree that a project of such magnitude needs to be looked at carefully and some discussion took place over costing out the maintenance of the existing building and new space that would be vacated by the fire hall for five to ten years while saving tax money to build a new structure. Staff will look into the details and report on them at a future meeting as well as look into the cost and possibility of entering into a strategic partnership. “We need to let our community tell us what’s palatable,” said Councillor Cathie Ounsted of the project. • A notice was handed out from Chief Electorial Officer Gary Nason announcing the general voting day for the 2013 byelection. The general vote will take place on April 13 with dates for special voting opportunities and advance polls April 3 and 10, between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

NELSON — The B.C. Coroners Service confirms a young Sidney man rushed to hospital during last year’s Shambhala Music Festival overdosed on a drug cocktail. The coroner’s report, dated November 13 but only released Friday, Feb. 1, says Mitchell Joseph Fleischacker, 23, died from pulmonary failure as a result of “illicit and prescription drug toxicity.” His death was classified as accidental, with no evidence of suicide or foul play. The report did not make any recommendations. According to the report, Fleischacker was attending the festival near Salmo with two friends, who

Vision Matters Dr. Paul Neumann
Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.
Legal blindness A person is legally blind when their visual functions fall below certain levels. If visual acuity cannot be improved to 20/200 (the big E) WITH glasses or contact lenses a person is considered legally blind. I’ve often had patients state that they are “legally blind without their glasses.â€? Blindness is deďŹ ned in terms of the best-corrected vision with glasses or contact lenses in place. That makes a big difference. Visual acuity below 20/200 is most often caused by age related macular degeneration. Other causes include congenital defects, cataracts, injuries, infections and inammations. In many cases the progress of the disease can be slowed, stopped or even reversed if early detection and treatment occur. A second form of legal blindness occurs when a person has a ďŹ eld of vision that is constricted to less than 20 degrees. It is sometimes known as “tunnel vision.â€? Glaucoma is the cause of the majority of these cases. Again, early detection and treatment stop the potentially blinding effects of this silent disease. Unfortunately blindness is not always preventable however many of the causes of blindness, if detected early enough are treatable. Make eye examinations a regular part of your health care.

Free Hearts tickets now available SIDNEY — You’re invited. That’s what Beacon Community Services Board Chair Penny Thomsen says to Peninsula residents about the Hearts of the Community awards ceremony and free community luncheon. Co-sponsored by the Peninsula News Review and Beacon Community Services, the event — which kicks off at 11 a.m., Thursday, Feb. 21 at the Mary Winspear Centre — is part of the 15th annual Hearts of the Community Volunteer Awards. Award nominations closed Jan. 30. Award winners will be announced at the ceremony. “This will be a community celebration,� said Thomsen. “There’ll be a chance to socialize with neighbours
over good food, enjoy wonderful entertainment by talented Stelly’s Secondary students, and hear heart-warming stories about local volunteers’ phenomenal work.� Tickets are free but the theatre often fills for this event, said Thomsen, so people are advised to get their tickets well ahead of time. Free tickets are now available at the Peninsula News Review, the SHOAL Activity Centre (10030 Resthaven), Beacon Community Services’ Third Street office in Sidney, or from any Beacon thrift shop in Sidney or Brentwood Bay. — Submitted

Abby’s submission: Each eligible entry received in Genworth’s contest saw $5 donated to the Habitat For Humanity location closest to their city of residence. The contest winner got the honour of choosing the next community where Genworth will donate $60,000 towards the building of a new Habitat home this year. reporter@peninsula newsreview.com
How Home Feels My perfect image of a home is a place where people stand up for you and others. When you give or get a hug you feel warmth in your heart. A home is a place where you can say what’s on your mind. It is a place where you can laugh, giggle or smile and where you can be with your family and have their support. The feeling of home is like a warm blanket after a cold day of playing outside. There is a huge difference between a house and a home. A house is just a place with a roof but a home is a place where you live, laugh and feel comfort. Home is where you sleep in peace and let dreams flow through your head. Home is where you play with your siblings and parents, a place to enjoy a meal and be loved by your family. Home is a place that makes a difference in your feeling of happiness or sorrow. Home is that spot in your heart that says, ‘I’m safe.’

Auditor loses bid for B.C. Rail bills Tom Fletcher Black Press
Auditor General John Doyle has lost his bid for detailed defence lawyer billings in the case of two ministerial assistants convicted for their role in the sale of B.C. Rail operations in 2002. In a ruling released Tuesday, B.C. Supreme Court Chief Justice Robert Bauman found that Doyle was seeking a “sweeping invasion of solicitor-client privilege” in the case and dismissed his petition to see the documents. Doyle went to court in an effort to complete his review of the B.C. Rail sale, in which Dave Basi
and Bobby Virk pleaded guilty to breach of trust and accepting a benefit for their role in bidding for B.C. Rail assets. Seven years of pre-trail manoeuvring came to a sudden end in October 2010, when Basi and Virk pleaded guilty to providing bid information to a Colorado-based railway company, in exchange for a trip to Denver for a football game and other rewards. The B.C. government’s decision to abandon efforts to recover $6 million in legal fees for the pair sparked a political battle. Two deputy ministers said they made the decision to overrule the policy to recover
Assume a membership &
legal defence fees from government employees if they are found guilty. They concluded it would have added more to legal costs than their assets were worth. Bauman states in his ruling that current B.C. legislation does not give the Auditor General access to privileged materials such as lawyer bills, and his assurance that they would not be widely shared makes no difference. Bauman also found that the government’s voluntary disclosure of privileged cabinet documents in the case is not relevant to the confidentiality of lawyer bills. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

OUR VIEW
District has to find its own way Should the housing issues facing residents, business owners and the politicians of North Saanich be better served by communities like Sidney and Langford? That’s a theory posed by Springfield Harrison, a member of a small group of people opposed to potential rampant, higherdensity housing in the community. He North Saanich has stated that each has its own role community within the Capital Regional to play in the District has a role to broader CRD play — and North Saanich plays the part of more rural, agricultural area — not so much a housing hub. Does that sound a tad elitist — or isolationist — forcing workers and their families to live elsewhere and commute into North Saanich job sites? That, he said in response to the question, is certainly not what he meant. North Saanich, he asserts, has its own role to play in the broader CRD community, including having a symbiotic relationship with Sidney, where different housing styles are more common. The recent open house on ongoing community consultative process on housing densities in North Saanich appears to have moved beyond Harrison’s position. It presented higher-density housing options and concepts and an exit survey asks people to rank their priorities when it comes to how these options might impact their community. At this stage, it appears unlikely that the district will pull back from its path to adding a diverse mixture of residential options. Yet, within the confines of a greater CRD community North Saanich will have to find its own way. To a certain extent, if North Saanich hopes to maintain a diverse community, some housing options will have to be considered. How that looks in the end will play out in this public consultation process. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@peninsulanewsreview.com or fax 250-656-5526.

Well, turnout for the 2009 election fell to around 50 per cent, a record low for a provincial vote. If that downward trend is reversed this year, it will be in large part because people are still mad enough about the harmonized sales tax and a range of other issues to get off the couch and kick some B.C. Liberal butt. Electing senators remains a popular notion, especially with older, conservative-minded voters in B.C. who identified with the Reform Party. The first-ever senate election looks like the best available shot at boosting turnout among people who are not likely to vote NDP, and who may also be disengaged from provincial politics. And then there is the provincial sales tax bill. Another kick in the slats for the movie business, for one, and don’t hold your breath for NDP leader Adrian Dix to produce a solution in the wake of his recent trip to Tinsel Town. The performance of the governing party and the opposition will be scrutinized as never before.

LETTERS A single photon is harmless, but add them up
R
e: No escape from radio frequencies, PNR, Feb. 1. Unfortunately your discussion of radio frequencies is incomplete. While it is true that a single photon does not have the energy to knock ions off a molecule (a single photon on its own can do little and neither can a single grain of sand even if blown at one with the velocity of a sand blaster), I doubt that you would state being hit full blast by a sand blaster is harmless. In terms of the statement that we have
always had some non-ionizing radiation in our environment, yes you are correct, but once again you miss a critical point. The natural background count is in the order of 0.00000000000001 uW/cm2. A WiFi router, according to Industry Canada, is 8.7uW/ cm2 and according to Health Canada it is safe to expose a person to 1000 uW/cm2 for six minutes (this standard is very effective if one does not wish to be cooked in a microwave oven within six minutes). India has recently reduced their allowable limits by a factor of 10 to 0.98 uW/cm2 after they found people had health problems.
Readers respond: Inequity in traffic enforcement was noted The Jan. 25 PNR noted on page 9 that “Olson and Mayor Alastair Bryson acknowledged the work by the Central Saanich Police during the Idle No More protest on Jan. 16. Both said the police worked efficiently to keep the protest safe and traffic moving ... “ Followed immediately by: “The Director for the Tour de Victoria approached council with a request for road closures for the bicycle race ... “ The Tour director may have made a mental note of the inequity of process and enforcement as the instigators of the Idle No More protest likely did not bother to get a road closure permit. And the police were subsequently lauded for not upholding the law. Frank Witthoeft Central Saanich
Take a new road ahead The Adult Guardianship Act of British Columbia is a failure. My family has experienced directly how the Act, and its implementation by Health Authorities, fails to protect the most vulnerable of aging adults, those suffering from dementia. While major efforts are made to protect vulnerable children from predators, adults with dementia are left wide open to predation. Dementia, whether from Alzheimers or a stroke, leaves an adult in a very childlike condition, vulnerable to manipulation
The WHO sub-committee the IARC voted virtually unanimously to classify radio frequency as a group 2b carcinogen (the U.S. rep walked out and a rep from Germany voted against the remaining 28 country representatives, including the Canadians, at the conference). You criticize the Lancet for noting the possibility of the radiation causing glioma yet omit they reported it is also associated with causing acoustic neuromas. The recently updated bioiniative report issued additional concerns and is calling for limits over 300,000 times more stringent
than Canada. Between the IARC and the Bioiniative report, almost 60 of the world top scientists in the field are saying they are concerned and there is a strong possibility that the radiation at current level will cause cancer and other health ailments. You don’t get many pro-WiFi e-mails because the facts don’t support WiFi except when one considers the lazy, easy way of implementing WiFi. The long term costs, however, are seldom a significant cost savings. Norm Ryder Central Saanich
Traffic law double standard, aging adults, happiness and a hard lesson
and abuse beyond their capacity to understand. A lawyer, after reviewing the Act, said: “You could drive a big truck through this Act with your eyes closed, and not hit anything.” I have been told that there is currently a review of the Act. I would urge anyone who has experienced or seen the failures of the Act (and Health Authorities) to protect vulnerable adults to contact Ralph Sultan, Minister of State for Seniors, at 250356-0912. Do it for your mother. Michael Conway-Brown Powell River
Gross domestic happiness Shoal Harbour Sanctuary, one of the oldest migratory bird sanctuaries on the Pacific coast and part of the internationallyrecognized Southern Salish Sea Important Bird Area, is renowned for its diversity of wintering waterfowl and seabirds. But it also encompasses one of the rarest ecosystems in Canada — the Coastal Douglas Fir ecosystem with its iconic Arbutus. This habitat is highly fragmented and the intact fragments are largely restricted to two areas: Lillian Hoffar Park in North Saanich and Beaufort Avenue in Sidney. These areas give us much of our natural ambience in our noisy urban environment and include the songs of many small bird species unique to our shores. Bushtits, Towhees, Song Sparrows, Wrens and Finches all contribute to our gross domestic happiness — a measure of contentment for which the country of Bhutan is famous. This biological diversity and seaside
ambience is being eroded through two main inter-related forces: habitat loss and predation. We can help reverse this through maintenance of native vegetation on the waterfront and keeping cats under control. It has been shown around the world that domestic cats are one of the largest sources of mortality for small native species of birds and mammals. Jack Thornburgh, Friends of Shoal Harbour Sanctuary North Saanich
learn? That older people steal from children. Always wanting to look on the bright side, perhaps someone else forgot to hand them in. Please restore my faith in humankind. The cost here is not huge, but that is not the point, it negates the behavior we try to instill. L. Clifford Sidney

On Jan. 30 my son and two granddaughters were getting changed in the family change room at Panorama. My granddaughters, ages three and six, each received a new pair of swim goggles at Christmas, which they were proudly wearing during their swim lessons. Unfortunately, while getting the girls dressed last Wednesday afternoon, my son placed both sets of goggles on top of the baby change table and off they went without the goggles. I stopped by Thursday to check if they had been turned in. Sadly, they were not. We see this experience as lessons learned. Yes, I taught my son to check around for forgotten things. Since he forgot the goggles, he has to confess his error and explain that it looks like someone found them and did not turn them in. It’s a hard lesson. You know what’s harder to take? We try to teach our young ones to be honest and return things that do not belong to them. What did my two precious granddaughters

Explore together ■ There is no better province to explore than southern Vancouver Island and no better family bonding experience than sharing the thrill of a new discovery or experience. Day trips can create remarkable family memories, offering a wonderful way to spend time together and learn more about where you live. The variety of experiences available to families is different in each area of this spectacular region – you might decide to explore close to home or venture to one of the neighbouring communities over the Family Day weekend. To maximize the experience, families should involve everyone in the planning. By planning ahead the whole family can experience a worthwhile outing and make every aspect fun. Create a list of activities or venues and assign a rough budget for each. Allow family members to weigh in on their preferences and discuss what they would like to see, do or learn at each. You might decide to stay in a hotel and be a tourist in your own hometown. Kids or youth can map out the sites and
activities, creating a family agenda including selecting the points of interest, lunch and shopping as well as enjoying the amenities your hotel might offer. It’s the perfect way to free up everyone from everyday tasks and roles. Researching history, attractions, museums, parks and markets can teach valuable lessons and it helps children to plan within a budget. This way they are part of making important decisions, appreciate both the effort and cost of outings and will be more enthused about an agenda they helped develop. Be sure to capture your family time by taking photos, saving literature or purchasing a memento. This can lead to great family discussions about what each individual enjoyed or learned and starts you planning for future family explorations.

Share together ■ Bringing together your extended family can create a highly memorable and valuable life event. They say “it takes a village to raise a child” and many would agree especially in today’s world of working parents and latchkey kids. The support, experience and interest of your extended family can have a significant impact on your immediate family. Regardless of your definition of ‘extended’ family, bringing together those with whom you share history can have lasting benefits not just for you and your children but for those you invite to share your day. It is common in today’s world to have older children in nuclear families reach their teens before meeting extended family members. Geographical isolation is common for middle-class families who move based on occupational opportunities while family branches retain their independence. Family Day is the ideal occasion to hold family reunions to re-establish and integrate a stronger family connection. This allows your children to connect with extended family members and to share a better sense of their heritage and belonging. Don’t forget to include senior members of your family. Family reunions and relationships inspire seniors to stay active and pursue their well-being. Studies have found seniors feel revitalized when they spend time with families. Your children will benefit from hearing their oral history and that’s an inspiring experience that won’t always be available to them. Another way to celebrate Family Day is to gather your extended family and friends around an activity you care about. It might be a shore clean-up, a family walk or a garage sale. You might volunteer at a foodbank. Food is often central to gatherings and with everyone contributing to a family meal afterwards, it becomes a great way to share B.C.’s first Family Day.

FAMILY DAY 2013
Experience as a Family ■ Try something new this Family Day. It might be as simple as agreeing that everyone observe a no-technology or TV day. If you find your gatherings often involve all the adults sitting around visiting while the youngsters play among themselves and the teens segregate away from both you and the little ones, you’re probably not alone. A family gathering can be a wonderful opportunity for family to hear the latest on jobs, trips, hobbies and health, but if you find your gatherings following the same tedious patterns, this is the year to change it up. Consider adding new experiences to the plans, and making a new and fun tradition out of them. Here are some ideas to get started: Get out and enjoy our beautiful outdoors – no matter what your weather. Take advantage of the region’s mild winters to explore local parks and beaches. Plan a bike ride, a hike a trip to the golf course or even an ice skating trip rip to the a community rink. The idea is to bring everyone together in a family activity you’ve never done before. Plan a meal away from the e house – Instead of cooking for the gathering, thering, plan a formal brunch or dinnerr at a new restaurant. Not only do you experience perience a new menu together but everyone yone in your group can sit together and enjoy the meal. B.C. has a widely ely diverse cultural make-up and
ethnic restaurants are part of that. Make your Family Day gathering a retreat for all – consider getting your family out of the house and turn your gathering into a festive retreat. Many venues have activities for all ages to enjoy, from winter outdoor fun to refreshing spa services. Host a family talent show – everyone has a special talent in your family, so encourage them to bring their talent to your gathering. If you’re really ambitious, set up an area to be used as a stage and arrange chairs for audience members. Play with lighting and lamps so the performance area is in the spotlight. You might rent a popcorn machine or ask family to bring treats and snacks. By bringing new activities to your family gathering, you’ll be creating new memories to share in the future, and making the event much more enjoyable.
District of North Saanich
Learn together ■ Having a day off from school doesn’t mean learning stops for the day. There are plenty of educational things you can do in British Columbia, whether in your own home or outside. How about starting with a trip to your local library? Maybe a book of science experiments or a historical novel set in the early days of Canada will spark your imagination. Let the kids each pick out a book to take home with them and start a lifetime love of reading. Your local bookstore will also hold a variety of options if your child can’t bear to part with his or her new favourite book. A local historical attraction is also a great place to pay a visit. Whether it’s Chinatown, Fort Rodd Hill or Heritage Acres, Islanders enjoy a ton of history right in our own backyard. Explore a local museum or heritage building as a jumping-off point for learning more about the community where you live. Learning can be more than just reading though. Pull out the laptop and get your kids to type out an email to a family member or friend outside of B.C. Perhaps they can even tell the person about what they learned at the museum or library! Keeping a journal is also a great way to practice writing and literacy skills. Even if it’s not a daily occurrence, sitting down in the evening to write about the events of the day or week can get kids thinking and practicing their handwriting.

He also instructed the man’s wife to administer air to her husband. Once rescue crews arrived, an automated external defibrillator (AED) was used, which successfully revived him. He was taken to Royal Jubilee Hospital in stable condition. “It’s this young man taking some immediate action and initiating CPR and continuing it that made the difference and saved this man’s life,” Piercy said.

SPORTS Panthers take on Cougars News staff
Gordon Lee Photography
Peninsula Panther Josh Adkins forces Victoria Cougars defenceman Robert Zadra to move the puck to the corner rather than taking a shot on goal during Friday night’s game.
The Peninsula Panthers played tough back-to-back games against the Victoria Cougars this past weekend. In the first game between the rival teams on Thursday night, the Cougars downed the Panthers 4-2 at the Archie Browning Arena. Then on Friday night at Panorama Recreation Centre, the Panthers were defeated again, 6-3. During Friday’s game, the Cougars opened up a 5-0 lead early in the third period, however, tallies from Panthers Will Finlay, Nathan Looysen and Jonas Horvath saw the Panthers get on the scoreboard. But the story of Friday night’s game was not the score — it was

Meadows and they did not beat the Canadian teams overall on their Western tour. Canada West beat the Scottish tour by a total of 10 points, a very close result after a month of curling, Eakins explained. The Canadian’s East was down by 177 points and the Canadian’s Central was down by 89 points. Glen Meadows won by three points in their match last month. “That’s pretty good considering the West was only 10 points ahead in the end,” Eakins said. “We are responsible for a third of the West’s win.” The overall Scottish victory returns the Strathcona Cup — an award played for by both countries every five years with one nation’s curlers visiting the other — to the U.K. after Canada claimed it
in 2008. “The Scots are off home now, probably totally exhausted and in need of liver transplants,” Eakins said. “I wonder how many pounds they packed on during their visit to Canada?” Eakins said in an e-mail to club members and to the PNR the event “was fun and well worth all the effort we all put into it at our club. Congratulations to all for your effort, enthusiasm, fair play, clean sweeping and good shots.” For results, go to http://strathconacuptour2013.co.uk/ then hit ‘results’ then hit ‘west tour’ then scroll down the results to see how all the teams in the West did, including Glen Meadows. — News staff/with files from the Glen Meadows Curling Club.
