Devices help with survival Town of Sidney to buy new AEDs to help people who have heart attacks Steven Heywood News staff
Town of Sidney staff will soon have additional access to equipment that could save someone’s life in an emergency. Town council, led by a request by councillor Kenny Podmore, has authorized the purchase of two automated external defibrillators (AEDs) — electronic equipment designed to help people suffering heart attacks. The move will be paired with additional CPR (cardio pulmonary resuscitation) training offered by the Sidney Volunteer Fire Department. “Placing AED’s in public places is great,” Podmore said, “but we need ongoing training. We have support from the fire department in AED maintenance and with CPR training.” The CPR training would be offered to town staff and others based on specific requests to do so. “The CPR component Kenny Podmore is important,” said assistant fire Chief Brett Mikkelson. “We need good bystander CPR first and in conjunction with the AEDs, it makes for a better survival rate.” Podmore said there are AEDs already in place at the RCMP detachment, the Mary Winspear Centre and at Panorama Recreation Centre. The two additional devices will be placed at town hall and at the public works yard. Steven Heywood/News staff

Paddlers circumnavigate region for Easter Seals Edward Hill News staff
A small armada of voyageur canoes rounded Ten Mile Point as part of a gruelling, day-long circumnavigation of Greater Victoria. Ten Mile Point and Trial Island is where “the water gets really interesting,” said Joe Boyd, organizer of Paddle for the Kids, a fundraiser for the Easter Seals Camp Shawnigan. “We’ll have the tide at our back but the wind in our face,” he said. “It creates standing waves. You just have to keep paddling. When you stop that’s when troubles begin.” For Saanich’s Don Munroe, it was his 32nd expedition for Paddle for the Kids, a fundraiser that he started. This time around it was in a brand new canoe that bears his name. The Victoria Canoe and Kayak Club held a ceremony this month with Songhees First Nations members to bless the Munroe, a new 26-foot voyageur canoe, a design that hasn’t changed much from the fur trading era. It was put to the test March 23. The group of four canoes set off from the Tsartlip First Nation boat launch near Brentwood Bay and paddled some 75 kilometres, rounding the Saanich Peninsula and into Victoria Harbour, up the Gorge Waterway to the Victoria Canoe and Kayak Club near Tillicum Bridge. Until 2010 and for 28 years, canoers paddled from Victoria to Port Angeles and back, a tough venture fraught with chop and strong currents and occasionally a storm. The navy pulled its escort in 2010, and the club found an equally long route closer to home, which allows them quick access

Members of the club paddled canoes around Greater Victoria to raise money for Easter Seals Camp Shawnigan on March 23. to land should a canoe run into trouble. The Canadian Coast Guard auxiliary monitors the paddlers. “It’s challenging conditions. The swell is not so swell,” Munroe joked. “It’s not quite as exciting now, but nevertheless it’s for the kids. You have to keep the kids in mind to keep you inspired. It is a very long day. Depending on the weather it’s 10 to 12 hours.”
“It’s exhilarating,” said Boyd. “When the seas are calm, there’s not much to talk about. When it’s rough it builds skill and strength.” Each of the four canoes had two six-person teams, which swapped out three times over the day to allow paddlers to rest and refuel. Local Lions Club members — the B.C. Lions Society funds Camp Shawnigan — picked up and dropped off rowers for
the legs of the journey. Paddle for the Kids raises between $12,000 to $20,000 each year and a week for a kid at Camp Shawnigan costs about $2,500. Munroe said visiting the camp in the summer reminds him of why they make the effort each year. “It brings tears to your eyes to know your donations have helped them.” See vckc.ca for details or to donate. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Who’s who in the Central Saanich by-election
Getting to know the eight candidates CENTRAL SAANICH — There are eight candidates in the April 13 by-election for two seats at the Central Saanich district municipal table. Ten candidates had announced their intent to run as of the deadline to file their nomination papers, however, two individuals have since dropped out. The council seat became vacant after Adam Olsen resigned after accepting the nomination in the provincial riding of Saanich North and the Islands for the B.C. Green Party, and Terry Siklenka resigned after moving away. The News Review continues a series of candidate profiles to help our readers make informed decisions on by-election day. The profiles are organized alphabetically by last name and will take place over the next few editions of the News Review, prior to the byelection. The general vote is scheduled for April 13 and advance voting will be held April 3 and 10.
Candidates List
Alicia Cormier Christopher Graham John Hannam Susan Mason James McNulty Bernie Struck Robert Thompson Ryan Windsor
John Hannam Devon Mackenzie News staff
After living 13 years in Central Saanich, by-election candidate John Hannam is looking to get involved in municipal politics. Since moving to the municipality, Hannam and his family have become active in the farming community and have established a hay and horse operation on their 36 acre farm. They currently have 10 horses on their property on Wallace Drive and harvest up to 4,000 bales of hay in a season. “I believe that farming has to be both encouraged and practically supported by the municipality,” said Hannam about one of the reasons he’s running for council. “There are many issues that affect
our local farmers, including wildlife control, weed control, labour availability, access to markets and storm water management. “Appropriate bylaws can assist where practicable but should not be an impediment to the functioning of viable farming operations.” Before his foray into farming, Hannam spent 32 years as a public school teacher in the Sooke School District. During that time he involved himself in several school and union committees including time spent on the executive of the local of the B.C. Teachers Federation and 11 years as chair the Public Relations and Professional Development Committees. While teaching, Hannam also served as a Canadian Naval Reserve Officer for 26 years and retired with the rank of Lieutenant Commander. Hannam, whose roots in Victoria date back over 100 years, also hopes
to address tax increases in the municipality, another reason why he decided to run in the by-election. “The tax base of the municipality needs to expand through business development within areas circumscribed by the Official Community Plan (OCP),” Hannam said. “The OCP may require fine tuning, but the concept of having such a plan is good and it should be used as a blueprint to support the district, not as an impediment to progress. Tax increases have to be managed … and a balance must be struck between what the overall community wishes with what is achievable within the tax base that exists,” he said, adding that he feels this is something he could help with. “(If elected) as a councillor for Central Saanich, I believe that I could truly assist in this endeavour.” Email Hannam at johnhnnm@
“Raising my daughter and caring for aging parents has made me aware of the scope of different needs of people in our community,” said Mason. She believes the development of a master plan for the Keating area is essential, citing the examples of Dockside Green, Yale Town, and False Creek. “All of those places are industrial areas that changed course and attained their full potential. By encouraging a work/live environment in Keating, we could create a vibrant community and economic generator enabling our young people to stay in Central Saanich to work and live,” she said. Mason is also keen on economic strategy in cooperation with the local First Nations and neighbouring municipalities. “By partnering with our neighbours we could hire an economic development officer to help formu-
late a strategy.” Continuing to aggressively explore and encourage development and economic growth opportunities in our core areas consistent with Central Saanich’s OCP would also be a priority, she said. “We need to think outside of the box. Why not look at a municipal centre in the heart of Brentwood Village? It could have underground parking and combined services like a municipal hall, a police station, a library and even seniors assisted living. By partnering with other government agencies we could share costs and enhance services to our community and the old hall could be sold later to offset costs.” Mason also noted sustaining, promoting and protecting farming in Central Saanich is one of her passions. “I care passionately about Central Saanich and am very protective about the wonderful sense of com-

Susan Mason Devon Mackenzie News staff
Long time Central Saanich resident and past council member Susan Mason is ready once again to step into municipal politics. “After over a year away from council, I feel excited and energized and ready to take on the world,” Mason said. Mason’s council experience dates back to 2002 when she first became involved as a councillor with the district. She finished her last term in 2011 and spent the last year and half doing things she loves like painting. “It’s been great to have the time to myself and I’m prepared now to step back into a position of leadership should I be elected,” she said. Mason, who has lived and worked in the area for many years, raised her daughter in Central Saanich and has also cared for her aging parents in the area as well.

Planned giving seminar in Sidney Devon MacKenzie News staff
The Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation (SPHF) is hosting a planned giving seminar at the Mary Winspear Centre next month. On Wednesday, April 10 the foundation will host two retired financial professionals, Ron Gurney and Ken Stevenson, for an informational presentation on the benefits of planned giving to charitable organizations. “One of the major advantages of planning a future or current gift with your financial advisor or lawyer is that you’re able
to leave a legacy for the community and for your heirs,” said SPHF Major Gifts Manager Donna Randall. “Also the dollar advantage is that these types of gifts, when planned with an expert, reap very good tax savings.” Randall added that the event, although sponsored by the SPHF, isn’t solely for those who are interested in supporting the hospital but also for those interested in leaving an estate gift to any charitable foundation. “A lot of people are very happy to know that they know exactly where their donation goes. By attending the seminar
with Ken and Ron, people can find more out about going to their financial planner or lawyer and what questions to ask,” Randall said, adding that planning ahead can give people a good sense of security. “To be able to leave behind something that really makes a difference is a great thing,” Randall said. The seminar starts at 2:30 p.m. and runs until 5 p.m. at the Mary Winspear Centre. For more information call 250652-7531or email Randall at dfr@ dfrent.org. reporter@peninsula newsreview.com

B.C. agrees to salmon farm freeze in critical zones Agriculture minister says freeze only applies in the Discovery Islands off northeastern Vancouver Island Jeff Nagel News staff
B.C. won’t approve any new net-pen salmon farms in the Discovery Islands before 2020, in line with the Cohen Inquiry’s call for a freeze in that area to safeguard migrating wild sockeye. “We’re taking the precautionary principle as the commissioner has requested,” Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick said in an interview after releasing the province’s formal response to Justice Bruce Cohen’s recommendations last fall into the decline of Fraser River sockeye. The freeze applies only in the Discovery Islands off northeastern Vancouver Island, which includes a narrow channel where

The main operator in the Discovery Islands, Marine Harvest, has indicated it has no need for new tenures in that area, Letnick said. Cohen’s did not conclusively tie farmed salmon to the collapse of wild sockeye runs,
but heard enough evidence to recommend the limited moratorium until September of 2020, while more monitoring is carried out to assess the risk from aquaculture-spread disease or other pathogens. He also recom-
mended farms along the migration route be shut down if science can’t prove by 2020 that the risk to wild fish from aquaculture is minimal. “The government of the day in 2020 will have to make those decisions,” Letnick said in response. He said the government has also accepted the intent of the other seven Cohen recommendations that apply to the province. Some, including the replacement of B.C.’s Water Act, were already
in the works, he said. Other measures require the province to work closely with the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Letnick said he expects DFO to meet its obligations in B.C. despite federal budget cutbacks. No single culprit – not fish farms, overfishing, pollution, natural predators or global warming – got primary blame for the two-decade decline of Fraser River sockeye salmon in the report of the judicial inquiry. Aquaculture indus-
try reps had previously said Cohen’s recommendations would have very little impact on them. Cohen was appointed by the federal government after less than 1.5 million sockeye returned in 2009, far fewer than the more than 10 million expected. The latest forecast calls for an improved run of about 4.8 million this summer. editor@peninsula newsreview.com

Sidney North Saanich RCMP
• On March 25 just after 2 p.m., RCMP responded to a call about a motor vehicle accident in Sidney. A woman driving eastbound on Amelia Avenue in Sidney stopped at a stop sign at the Fifth Street intersection and when she proceeded into the intersection, she hit a 75-year-old woman who was riding her bike along Fifth Street. The cyclist, who was knocked off her bike but conscious and breathing, was taken to hospital and treated
for injuries sustained to her left side. Charges under the motor vehicle act may be forthcoming for the driver of the car as the cyclist had the right of way at the time of the accident. • Sidney North Saanich RCMP intercepted a suspected impaired driver leaving the Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal on March 22. The man driving was found to have been drinking and roadside breath samples resulted in a 90-day immediate roadside prohibition and impound of his car. • Just before 3 a.m. on March 23, RCMP investigated mischief to numerous vehicles parked along both Resthaven Drive and Ardwell Avenue. Several vehicles had the side mirrors smashed off and damage was also done to concrete

Hydrogen emergence A quick peek at the website plugshare.com and you’ll find Highway close to 50 locations to charge your electric car in Greater Victoria – but will you find 50 electric cars? Most electric vehicle owners have their own charging stations. These other spots, most of them installed by a business or government, are set up for convenience. The provincial government aims to have 570 charging stations set up throughout the province – at a cost of $2.7 million – this year. The scheme is reminiscent of the mid2000s Hydrogen Highway, heavily promoted by former California governator Arnold Schwarzenegger and then B.C. Liberal Premier Gordon Campbell. At the time, hydrogen fuel was lauded as the next big thing, but nary a personal vehicle fuelled by hydrogen travels our roads today. Yet the EV charge is gaining momentum, and as more municipalities buy in to the technology, the better the infrastructure will become. While consumers may still be shocked by the sticker price, electric vehicles have garnered glowing praise and consumer demand will soon drive prices down. The convenience of charging stations in downtown parkades, at local libraries and in shopping malls is certainly an encouraging sign. With charging stations beginning to pepper the highway from Sidney to Port Hardy, it may not be long until we can fold up our cars and pop them into a briefcase as we arrive at our destination.

He found a phage of dysenteric bacteria that could clear a cloudy culture without the phage being retained by a porcelain filter. In time, other phages were discovered and became models in the study of the molecular basis of life. Today we know that phages may play an important role as a genetic shuttle between different types of bacteria, which is one mechanism that explains the development of resistance of bacteria to antibiotics.

efore people take a stand on amalgamation they should inform themselves. I was surprised by statisics from the CRD website. Sidney’s population is approximately 11,551 in 2012, living on 7.143 sq. km. North Saanich is approximately 11,439 on 4,015 hectares. Central Saanich is approximately 16,465 on 41.42 sq. km. On Sidney’s website, agriculture is grouped in their statisics under food and beverage. Emphasis is on businesses, housing, tourism and industry. North Saanich is proud of its agricultural base and has a definite ‘residential estate’ profile. Central Saanich separated from the other Saaniches over the agricultural
issue decades ago. It has the most ALR land but has an astounding population. Residential growth statistics vary by source and years considered but Central Saanich is still the largest, fastest growing Penisula population. Apparently excluded in amalgamation would be 3,051 residents on First Nation Reserves. My take on this? Combine the high density town dwelling voters of Sidney with the new Central Saanich residents acquired through the densification policies in Central Saanich. Your core of voters will have housing, amenities and businesses on their minds, not agriculture. They love the greenspace and boutique farms but will vote for convenience and housing for their children and parents.
Readers respond: Everything to gain in amalgamation The article Small town feel lost in amalgamation should be explored in a larger context, as the premise is not necessarily so. As a Rotarian, I was chosen in 2001 to lead the Group Study Exchange, a program in which a Rotarian leads a group of young, non-Rotarian professionals, on a fourweek cultural/professional exchange to another country. My team went to Finland. I learned a great deal about Finnish municipal political structures, their education system as well as all aspects of their economy. Canada could learn much from Finland — a small, prosperous country with a 96 per cent literacy rate and excellent social programs. Their taxes are collected at the federal level and passed down to municipalities where there are not separate hospital or school boards, but municipal councils. Councillors take on separate portfolios governing education, health, etc. As the Principal of Community Education for Sooke School District for 18 years, I was very involved in community activities. From my experience and observation, the various rules/by-laws in the Greater Victoria communities sometimes conflict with one another, so it seems to make a lot of sense to explore various scenarios of amalgamation. I suspect there would be a lot of money saved, not to mention time and energy on repeating processes and planning initiatives that could be better coordinated. It does not mean that the “small town” feel will be lost.
Growth means more customers for their new businesses. North Saanich and Central Saanich farmers combined may have the acres but not the numbers or support to control growth and protect the ALR. Perhaps farmers need a vote based on acreage in the ALR actively, productively farmed? The idea of amalgamation reminds me of marrying because two can live cheaper than one. Then along come the children with a family’s growing needs. The budget flies out the window. Lets have a professional analysis of the statistics. I would love to be proved wrong.

Amalgamation, election, downtown traffic
It is time to have a dialogue about this whole issue with a cost/benefit analysis of different configurations on amalgamating various parts of the region. It should be on the ballot in the next municipal election. Having lived on the Peninsula for 23 years — my feeling is nothing would be lost but everything to gain by combining the three municipalities on the Peninsula into one. Donna Miller North Saanich
May 14 cannot come soon enough The cartoon, Christy Ponders What Action to Take, on March 22, says it all regarding the Premier’s response to the Doyle report on the Liberal government Multicultural Strategic Outreach Plan. Premier Clark is shown thinking to herself that she should “Deny direct involvement ... Deny knowing what’s going on under my nose ... Blame Dix...” It’s as if the cartoonist had access to the B.C. Liberal speaking notes! Officials from three groups met to forge the Outreach Plan — the Premier’s Office, the Liberal caucus, and the B.C. Liberal Party. Clark is responsible and accountable for the operations of her office, she chairs the Liberal caucus and she is the Liberal party leader. Yet she professes to know nothing of activities of her officials and has signed the re-nomination papers for John Yap. Anyone who believes she, like Hogan’s Hero’s Colonel Klink “knows nothing,” probably also believe that there are fairies dancing at the bottom of their gardens. May 14 cannot come soon enough.

In your article on the above topic you quote Councillor Lougher-Goodey as saying, in relation to returning Beacon Avenue to two-way traffic, “If there’s no good reason to change it then don’t do it.” As a professional retail planner with 40-plus years experience in advising municipalities and BIAs across Canada on how best to revitalise their downtowns, I have evolved six Golden Rules: 1: Eliminate all one way streets. 2: Eliminate all restrictive turns. 3: Maximise on-street parking. 4: Provide off-site employee parking. 5: Eliminate all pedestrian malls. 6: Implement “Naked Streets” (i.e. reduce “street signage clutter”). If Councillor LougherGoodey reads the Sidney traffic study carefully he will
see the consultants touch on items one to four and strongly recommend further study be made of returning Beacon Avenue to two-way after consulting both businesses and residents. I, like Denis Paquette and many others, am therefore puzzled by council’s decision to bury this item and hope that the town will invite the consultants to review their study at a public information meeting, instead of shelving it. In answer to Councillor Lougher-Goodey’s question I would simply reply that, based on my experience, successful downtowns have slow two-way traffic (thus providing safety to shoppers, especially moms with toddlers and seniors) whereas one-way downtown traffic is not shopper friendly since it is designed to speed commuter traffic. I would therefore respectfully suggest one-way systems are not relevant or appropriate in downtown Sidney and that this matter needs to be publically discussed and further studied. Richard D. B.

Second Sidney council member earns Queen’s Medal Mayor Larry Cross joins Councillor Kenny Podmore with hardware based on their years of service SIDNEY — Sidney’s regular council meeting on Monday, March 25 started off a bit differently than usual. Councillor and Acting Mayor Tim Chad presented Mayor Larry Cross with the prestigious Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal in a quiet ceremony before his peers on Council. Cross served on Sidney Town Council from 2006 to 2008 and was elected Mayor in 2008. But his work in the community extends far beyond his political career. His life’s focus has been in education and community development. He was vice-principal at Parkland Secondary School and principal of North Saanich Middle School in Sidney, as well as the Director of Instruction with the Saanich School District. Some of his influential community work includes membership on the North Saanich Environmental Commission and Coordinator for North Saanich Recycle. He served as chair for the Deep Cove Ratepayers’ Association and was a member of Friends of Pat Bay. As chair for the Friends of the

As chair of the Memorial Park Society, funding for Blue Heron Park was achieved through the Town’s expropriation of land for the Bevan Avenue access from Beacon Avenue. Mayor Cross was also a board member and volunteer for the Memorial Park Society and a member of the Mary Winspear Centre Management Committee. Cross is the second member of council to be recognized with a Queen’s Medal. Councillor Kenny Podmore was awarded his medal by Elizabeth May, Member of Parliament for Saanich Gulf Islands, on September 13, 2012 at a community ceremony. “I think I speak for all of council,” said Chad, “when I say that it is an honour and a privilege to work with both of these fine gentlemen and that they are well deserving of this medal on many levels.” — Submitted by the Town of Sidney

• The Planning and Development Committee saw a handful of neighbours turn up from Springlea Road who were concerned about a request for a half-acre lot to be subdivided into three separate long and narrow lots. After hearing from the property owners and the public, council decided that rezoning the lot wouldn’t be in keeping with the form and character of the neighbourhood. Council encouraged the property owner and staff to consider a panhandle subdivision which is a more common format of subdivision in the area.

nomic merit.” The report, by California-based Navigant Consulting Inc., examined the proposed refinery design and also assessed markets for refined fuels in Asia. “Such a refinery would provide incremental long-term benefits to the region, compared to export of unfinished feedstock,” the report states. The consultants recommend that B.C. approve a design for the plant that produces a variety of fuels, including gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. The report endorses a conventional design
for the refinery, proposed by Victoria newspaper publisher David Black last summer. Black, owner of Black Press Ltd., established a separate company called Kitimat Clean Ltd last year. In early March he announced that he is finalizing details for $25 billion in financing and purchase agreements for the gasoline, diesel and jet fuel that the plant would produce. According to Black’s plans, the $16 billion refinery would require another $9 billion in construction, including six product pipelines to Douglas Chan-
nel to load ships with refined fuel, and a natural gas pipeline to run a power plant, fire refining equipment and supply hydrogen for a new heavy oil refining process. Energy Minister Rich Coleman said the Navigant report cost $40,000, and would be done by the province for any proposal of this scale, through the province’s major projects office. If built as planned, the Kitimat refinery would be the biggest private investment in B.C. history. The Navigant report describes a conventional coking process that extracts a coal-like byproduct from heavy oil. Black announced March 6 that his team is revising its environmental permit application to use a new process that would convert the coke and increase liquid fuel output. A conventional refinery of that size would fill 100 rail cars per day with petroleum coke, which is typically sold as fuel for high-temperature metal processing. A process patented last year by Calgarybased Expander Energy adapts a technique developed a century ago in Germany to convert coal to synthetic fuels.

Grade 12 students invited into regional art show Stelly’s Secondary students part of new show at Xchanges Gallery in Victoria Charla Huber News staff
When Sarah Hilton, 17, was pondering the idea of getting a tattoo, she drew her back with a graphite pencil. At the nape of her
neck she wrote IX VII MCMXLVI, her papa’s birthday — Sept. 7, 1946. She has always had a strong connection with her grandfather, even though he died before she was born.
“He named me Sarah after the dinosaur on The Land Before Time,” said the Belmont secondary student, adding he talked to her through her mother’s pregnant belly. While the tattoo is
still just an idea, Hilton likes how it looks on paper and may eventually add it to her body. The drawing will soon be on display at the Xchanges Student Invitational show. Xchanges Gallery is hosting the show and had six of its adult artists go to six high schools in Greater Vic-

toria to select Grade 12 students to participate. Painter Richard Motchman, president of the gallery, went to Belmont to select three students. “We chose Grade 12 students because they are leaving school soon and we wanted them to connect with the adult art world,” he said. “The students’ art was really good and it was difficult to narrow it down and only pick three.” Motchman invited Hilton and two of her Belmont classmates. Amber McleodChampagne, 17, entered her piece titled Simplicity. The mixed media piece involves newspapers, a photo of her cat and acrylic paint. “I think it’s really great. It’s important for us to get our work out there before we graduate,” McLeod-Cham-
pagne said. “It’s also very inspirational to see other people’s art.” Laura Rechwan, 17, will also be a part of the show with her acrylic painting titled, It’s later than you think. “It’s about the human destruction that occurs,” she explained. “My love for the natural world is what inspires me.” Rechwan is excited to be a part of the show and to volunteer a shift in the gallery talking about her art to the public. She is hoping for a career in art and will study at Camosun College in the fall in the visual arts program. The Colwood teen is also a director on the board for the West Shore Arts Council. Work by students from around Greater Victoria is on display There will be 20 students whose work will
be on display at the show. The art spans paintings, ceramics, video, printmaking and other mediums. Also included in the exhibition are Akira Weng, Delayney Leynguard and Sand-Do Lee from Mount Douglas Secondary; Duncan Grant, James Letkeman and Naomi Evers from Oak Bay High; Andrew Coderre, Melissa Fraser, Quin Mallory, Ren Hlasny and Trevor Lang from Spectrum middle school; Ali Green, Celine Bain and Rachel Hunter from Stelly’s Secondary; Alberta Trelawny, Medina DurziPercy and Regina Vega from Victoria High School.

If permanent makeup makes you think of a thousand clowns or a thousand clones, it’s time you checked out Age Less Laser Centres Today’s permanent makeup lets the real you shine through. Artistry meets experience with Marilia Silva-Brand, Age Less’ Director of Clinical Esthetics. She has enhanced hundreds of clients’ faces. “Every clients’ features are unique,” says Ms. Silva-Brand, “at your complimentary initial evaluation, you can leaf through our gallery of before and after photos, and have all your questions answered. Be assured every shape is carefully drawn and agreed upon before any colours are applied.” Over the past 16 years Ms. Silva-Brand’s has acquired a devoted following of clients, several of whom have flown in from as far away as Europe. They appreciate her attention to detail. She uses multiple technologies and techniques as well as over 75 different FDA and Health Canada approved mineral pigments, often blending several colours for a truly customized look –– from soft and feathered to bold and precise – under her expert care, you are certain to leave with your own most flattering look.
Her slogan? Come as you are. Leave as Limited Time Special For anyone interested in you want to be.
The most popular Age Less procedures are eyebrows, upper and lower eyeliner, lip volumizing and lip liners. One client told Silva-Brand how failing eyesight made it difficult for her to apply eyeliner. Most mornings she missed and her office colleagues would do a running repair. With semi-permanent liner, those repairs are history. Regardless of the brand name, an eyeliner or brow pencil is a sharpened stick. If you can’t see well or your fingers are shaky, do you really want one pointed at your eyes, even if it’s in your own hand?
having these procedures done, now it the time to take advantage of their Limited Time Offer. SAVE $100.00 on any one permanent make-up procedure. Save up to $400.00 when having your brows, uppers & lower liners and lips enhanced. To find out if permanent make-up procedures are right for you schedule your free evaluation today 250-472-0400.

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Friday, March 29, 2013
Top-flite chess comes to Vicotria VICTORIA — Chess players from 6 to 80 are vying for top spot at this weekend’s seventh annual Grand Pacific Open tournament. The local contingent will be joined by numerous out-of-town players, taking the total number of competitors over the 100 mark. Surrey’s Tanraj Sohal, 15, winner of the B.C. Open championship last month, provides an example of where chess can take a young player. In January he was awarded a full ride scholarship to Webster University in St. Louis. Other players in the international field expected to challenge for the title include former B.C. champion Jack Yoos and current champ Butch Villavieja, both of Vancouver, and women’s Grandmaster Katerina Rohonyan from Redmond, Wash. Play begins at 6 p.m. today (March 29) and continues during the afternoon and evening on Saturday and Sunday. The final round happens Monday starting at 10 a.m. Spectators are welcome to attend this free event at the Hotel Grand Pacific, 463 Belleville St. For more information, visit grandpacificopen. pbworks.com — News staff

Patos Island Classic is one for the books SIDNEY — The 32nd Patos Island Classic Race held March 23 drew a good crowd of spectators to Sidney’s piers. The day started with a solid 10 knot southerly wind which saw two exciting and well executed starts, the first for the long course racers and the second for racers in the short and day courses. The Patos long course racers split the course on either side of James Island using Sidney Channel or Cordova Channel into the Cordova Bay area. The wind died later in the day and saw many boats forced to retire from the long course. In the short course, progress was better and eventually the wind filled in for all the race contenders. With the end of race near, all boats finished except those that had retired earlier. When the final results were calculated mostly local boats took the winning positions. See below for the full results.
