BCS honours its volunteers Annual Volunteer Appreciation Lunch held May 31 Devon MacKenzie News staff
Over 200 volunteers from Beacon Community Services (BCS) gathered at the SHOAL Centre on Friday, May 31 to participate in the annual Volunteer Appreciation Lunch. “We’re here today to recognize the hard work by all of the volunteers we have who do such amazing work,” said Coordinator of Volunteer Services for BCS, Kathryn Mason during the lunch. BCS has 512 volunteers in total, said the Manager of the SHOAL Centre, Judy Wiggins, who work hard to staff their thrift shops, act as volunteer drivers, and work at the SHOAL Centre, among other things. “Not only is 512 an amazing number of volunteers to have in an organization, but the quality of their service is just as amazing,” she said. The afternoon, which featured a buffet lunch and a slideshow acknowledging Mason’s hard work over the last 18 years (she plans to retire from BCS in December of this year), was capped off with the presentation of service awards to volunteers who have been with BCS for 5 years and more. Rene Laprairie, a long time volunteer with BCS, was awarded with a service pin and a bouquet for an impressive 34 years of service. “It’s simply aweinspiring to know we work alongside such amazing individuals,” said CEO of BCS, Isobel Mackenzie.

A 45-year-old Victoria man is facing firearms charges after he barricaded himself in a bathroom and started shooting into the walls. Victoria Police Department officers arrived at a suite on Gorge Rd. East Friday, May 31 after a 911 caller said the man was possibly drunk and had a gun. People were evacuated before a police negotiator tried to coax the man out. Instead, the man fired around a dozen shots. When he eventually opened the bathroom door, he was hit with a conducted energy weapon by police. Read more at www.vicnews.com.

“A lot of the time we see people who end up with firearms as a result of a death in the family,” he continued. “These weapons are passed down through generations and often people don’t know how to get rid of them. This is their chance to do that,” he said, adding that the amnesty provides the opportunity to reduce the number of firearms in our communities which enhances public safety.

“All it takes is a simple break and enter for those weapons to fall into the wrong hands,” Bryant said, “and having old weapons around the house also leave the potential for them to end up in the hands of children. If it’s unnecessary stuff that’s just hanging around the house, why not get rid of it?” Last year, the initiative yielded 3,200 guns turned in across the province which included 505 handguns, almost 10,000 rounds of ammunition, a machine gun and even a rocket launcher. The turned-in weapons are mostly destroyed, but some (in good condition) are used for training purposes, Bryant said.

Holman ready to begin life as a new MLA The NDP won Saanich North and the Islands for the first time with only 163 votes Steven Heywood News staff
NDP candidate Gary Holman saw his lead in Saanich North and the Islands go from 52 on May 14 to 163 on May 29, during Elections B.C.’s final count of the votes in this month’s provincial election. That makes Holman the riding’s first NDP MLA. He defeated B.C. Liberal candidate Stephen Roberts. Green Party candidate Adam Olsen gained some ground but was some 216 votes off of second place. “It’s resolved,” said a relieved-sounding Holman in an interview with the News Review on Monday, June 3. “I suppose it’s a good thing that it’s resolved. It was a bit of a roller coaster and now I have to think of myself as an MLA.” Holman has been on the losing end of provincial elections for nearly a decade and now he admitted it’s taking time for him to adjust to his new role. Already he is being invited to local events as the local MLA. He attended last Friday’s volunteer appreciation event, hosted by Beacon Community Services. News of his 163-vote lead came from the
NDP constituency association, whose members were monitoring the Elections B.C. count. And as of 2:26 p.m. on May 29, Elections B.C. made that count official. Allan Collier, president of the NDP constituency association said Holman was in Vancouver for a caucus meeting that day. “It was a very interesting race,” said Collier. “The vote was split three ways and it never let up.”
“It was a bit of a roller coaster ride and now I have to think of myself as an MLA.” – Gary Holman Collier said Holman will be looking now to open a constituency office and settle into his new role. “It is a bit precedentsetting,” Collier said. Holman won in Saanich North and the Islands with 10,515 votes, followed by Roberts with 10,352. Olsen placed third with 10,136 votes and independent candidate Scott McEachern was fourth with 599 votes. Voter turnout was high, as more than
Steven Heywood/News staff
Gary Holman, left, narrowly defeated Stephen Roberts by 163 votes in the May provincial election. 31,000 people cast ballots out of an estimated voter pool in this riding of around 44,000. For the past 12 years, the riding was held by B.C. Liberal MLA Murray Coell, who had announced prior to the election that he was retiring from politics. Roberts told the Peninsula News Review that since most voters in the riding didn’t vote for the NDP, Holman will have his work cut out for him. “He is going to have to try to find the common ground here in order to get anything done,” Roberts said. Holman agreed, adding no matter who would have won in Saanich North and the Islands, they would have faced the same vote split. “I did see a consensus locally on issues like B.C. Ferries, affordable housing, transportation and local food,” Holman said. “People voted in different ways, yes, and I have to be
mindful of that.” He added he will be approaching a variety of community members and groups to talk about issues such as ferry fares and service levels — a matter he said crossed party lines in this election. Holman said B.C. Ferries represents an example of something the NDP will be watching this year, most notably when the B.C. Liberals look to pass their budget in a planned summer sitting of the legislature. As for his role with the NDP opposition caucus, Holman said he’s open to almost anything, but his main focus will be setting up shop on the Peninsula. His constituency association is looking for office space in Sidney and is even considering Coell’s former office, as it has acted as an MLA’s headquarters for some 15 years. “As a new MLA, there’s a lot of work to do,” said Holman.
Asked if he would consider opening an office on Saltspring Island, Holman said he’s considering all of his options. Holman does live on Saltspring but added he’s looking at renting a place to Vancouver Islands for practical reasons. Roberts said the final vote count was clear and he has no plans to
challenge the result any further. “We know there aren’t that many votes that could be found questionable — at least not 163 of them. I’m pretty happy with how the system worked.” Roberts, who said he is retired from the workforce right now, added he will be helping shore up the B.C.
Liberals in the riding over the short-term. Long-term, he said he’ll be looking to do come volunteer and community work. As for running again, he said he is currently considering it. “But four years is a long time.” editor@peninsula newsreview.com

B.C. rejects pipeline plan Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA — The B.C. government has recommended rejection of the Enbridge Northern Gateway oil pipeline project in its final written submission to the federal environmental panel. Environment Minister Terry Lake announced the decision Friday, two weeks after an election where pipeline politics played a key role. He said the B.C. government isn’t satisfied with the company’s plans for spill control on the twin pipeline proposed to run from northern Alberta to a tanker port at Kitimat. “Northern Gateway has said that they would provide effective spill response in all cases,” Lake said. “However, they have presented little evidence as to how they will respond.” Lake said any heavy oil proposal would be subject to the B.C. government’s five conditions, which include spill prevention and response, aboriginal participation and a share of oil export revenues for B.C. Enbridge Northern Gateway vice-president Janet Holder said Friday the province’s position is not the end of the discussion. “The five conditions cannot be fully met until the end of the Joint Review Panel process,”
Holder said. “We are working hard to meet the conditions and earn the confidence of the government and the people of B.C.” Ministry staff evaluated the 192 conditions proposed by the Joint Review Panel, the federal agency that will make a recommendation for permits to Ottawa next fall. The B.C. government and Northern Gateway officials will give their final oral arguments to the panel when hearings resume in Terrace on June 17. Enbridge has argued that its submissions to the federal panel included 7,000 pages of techni-

OUR VIEW
Common ground on the Peninsula
Of the 31,000-plus people who cast a ballot in the May provincial election in Saanich North and the Islands, more than 20,000 of them (a majority) did not vote for the winning candidate. It’s a fact that the NDP’s Gary Holman knows very well. He also knows that his own margin of victory — 163 votes over B.C. Liberal candidate Stephen Roberts — is representative of the fact that a lot of people in the riding hold different political views than his own. In many ways, Holman faces a unique challenge stemming from such a close electoral race. He has no majority support in Saanich North and The local race the Islands and must was about issues tread carefully if he has any hope of ... not about finding support for personalities his, or his party’s, policies. Holman is certainly aware of this, stating he plans to communicate with as many people as possible on issues that are common among voters, no matter their political stripe. He is correct when he says there are issues in this riding that almost everyone holds dear. From ferry rates and services, affordable housing on the Peninsula, transportation on and off of the islands and local food supply, these are issues that all candidates in the riding touched on. There is common ground coming out of the provincial election campaign. The local race was about issues, for the most part, and not about personalities. Yes, each party had their own plan and approach to finding solutions on these and other issues. In Saanich North and the Islands, that may come through now as a mostly NDP-driven solution, thanks to the change in MLA. However, possibly to avoid the impression that the riding is being left out of the decisionmaking process in Victoria under a Liberal majority, Holman appears to be willing to take the consensus approach. It’s a wise course of action — especially when most voters in the riding didn’t choose the NDP. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@peninsulanewsreview.com or fax 250-656-5526.

These are pertinent conditions if heavy oil were to leak into a river in springtime, when water runs fast and cold and brown with sediment. Then there are the obstacles presented by responding to a spill in remote wilderness and heavy snow. Given both provincial and aboriginal opposition in B.C., the Enbridge pipeline is unlikely to be imposed and last week Conservative cabinet minister James Moore clearly ruled that out. The B.C. government has consistently maintained that the current project does not meet Clark’s oftenrepeated five conditions, including the vaguely defined “fair share” of revenues, and Moore said the federal government agrees with those conditions. The B.C. government has to face some other uncomfortable realities as well. If heavy oil pipelines are such a risk, how does B.C. manage the one that has stretched across remote and populated areas for 60 years? Does the government take a stand against new pipelines and then watch as rail cars full of heavy oil cross those same rivers? No permit is required for that and in fact there are more hazardous materials than oil moving by rail and road across the province today.

Every vote counted in Saanich North on May 14
F
inally the counting is finished in Saanich North and the Islands. All of us were kept in suspense for a further two weeks following the general election on May 14th as we waited for first recount and then absentee ballots to be tabulated. For British Columbia, this was an unprecedented three-way race, with three individuals representing three different parties each polling more than 10,000 votes. When the margin between first and second is just 163 votes, and the margin between second and third just 216, let there be no doubt now that every vote counts. With over 70 per cent of our riding’s people turning out to vote compared
to a provincial average of about 58 per cent, let there be no doubt that participation and engagement are vital to the success of our democracy. And after seeing every vote counted in a process that was simple, clean and fair, let there be no doubt that we have an efficient and secure voting system of which we can be very proud. It was inspiring. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Gary Holman (NDP) on his win and Adam Olsen (Green) on his strong campaign. Together we conducted a civil and respectful election dialogue. I should also congratulate John Plantinga, Electoral Officer, and Anton Boegman, Deputy Chief Electoral Officer for
Elections B.C., on a well-run election, count, and recount. Please also let me take this opportunity to thank those who supported me with their vote, and those who supported me with their time, energy, prayers, and best wishes. In every election campaign and with every party, these are the people that make things happen, give life to ideas and vision, and ultimately ensure the continuing success of our democratic system. I am humbled by their faith in me. I would also thank all of you who turned out to vote, and who participated in this sensational election. It was one to remember.
So when the next opportunity to cast your vote comes along, think of Saanich North and the Islands 2013. Remember how every vote counted. Remember how well candidates treated each other and respected the process. Remember how important it was that people participated. Remember that this is the way to bring citizens back in to the process of choosing our representatives in government. I am grateful I had the opportunity to present myself as a candidate to the voters of this great riding. Stephen P. Roberts B.C. Liberal Candidate, Saanich North and the Islands
Readers respond: Two-way street debate, roundabout, teachers and taxes Two-way street is the answer I have lived in Saanichton for 43 years and do all my shopping in Sidney. Have you ever tried going down the one-way street in Sidney and found someone driving right at you? I have had to blow my horn and get the person to back up. This has happened several times. A two-way street is the answer, go all the way down Beacon Avenue go around the roundabout and back to town on the twoway. Please consider this, also for the tourists who come to town and leave as they can’t figure out how to go all the way down Beacon to get back to the one way street. I think it is bad for tourists, who would otherwise stay and shop in our neat shops. We need the business in our great town. Sharon Paquette Saanichton
Confusing spider
web I completely agree with everything in the letter to the editor by H.U.P. Edwards in your May 29 Peninsula News Review. Specifically, the comment about the McTavish Interchange, was right on! My family calls that monstrosity ‘the Spider Web’ and we try to avoid using that very confusing and dangerous maze, if at all possible. We live close to East Saanich Road and when heading to Sidney or the ferry terminal, we now continue driving on East Saanich Road across McTavish, through that Roundabout past there, to Canora, Sterling Way to the Highway and Beacon. We often get out of town visitors and needless to say, they all comment on this McTavish interchange — and some of them have told us, that this interchange “thing’ is something out of a science fiction or horror movie.” Our daughter, who

The roundabout works just fine In the Wednesday last edition of the News Review a Mr. H.U.P. Edwards complains of the Interchange. At first glance of the plans for it I, like a lot of people, was sceptical. But the fact remains the interchange does work
and qualified drivers keep the traffic moving efficiently and, for the benefit of the neighbours, more quietly than in the past. If after all this time Mr. Edwards does not understand how the interchange works then he must no longer be qualified to hold a valid driver’s license. Paul Tuckwell North Saanich
Teachers dealing with more Recent rants about teachers reminded me of an experience I had while practice teaching many years ago. My teaching career was short, but there was a boy in one class who ran around the perimeter of the classroom several times screaming at the top of his lungs several times a day. I wanted to stop
and soothe him but the class teacher told me to let him continue. I found this experience deeply distressing and thought the child should not be terrorizing a classroom but sent to a treatment centre where his problem might be solved. Today’s teachers are expected to deal with many and varied problem children in each classroom. They are worth their weight in gold. There is no need to increase taxes on poor people to pay teachers an appropriate wage; the rich could be asked to pay their share to create a civil society. Pat Carson Sidney
Who pays for the charge? I support any efforts to move away from
our dependence on oil, although electrical energy is not always the most environmentally friendly way to go, given run of river overdamming and dirty fuel burning to achieve electricity. As a taxpayer, fixedincome at that, I would like to know who pays for the charging station electricity that individuals use to charge their vehicles? There does not appear to be any method of chargestation payment. Does that mean that someone with an electric car can charge their battery on the dime of taxpaying hydro customers? It would be nice to get some clarification on this. I would not be happy to think that Mr. Electric Car owner is fueling his vehicle at my expense. Janice Campbell Sidney

Victoria United Way boss Linda Hughes leaving Search for a successor begins soon
VICTORIA — A legacy of building relationships and increasing the organization’s profile in the community will follow outgoing United Way of Greater Victoria CEO Linda Hughes. Hughes, who spent three years at the helm of the char-
ity funding organization, announced she will be leaving in July to take on the same role with the non-profit Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island. “Under Linda’s leadership, the United Way has achieved a number of significant strategic goals and are well positioned for the future,” board chair Peter Lockie said in a release. Working with staff, sponsors and the massive volun-
teer corps who spread the word about the organization and how it benefits vulnerable people and those in need was a great way to get to know the community, Hughes said. “This movement will remain in my heart, and I will continue to support the important work of United Way,” she said. The United Way board plans to launch a search for Hughes’ successor soon. The
Children’s Health Foundation, formerly the Queen Alexandra Foundation for Children, owns and operates Jeneece Place and grants $1 million annually to Island agencies whose programs support the health and well-being of children and youth.

Cabinet to be unveiled B.C. Liberals to announce new cabinet on Friday Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark unveils her new cabinet lineup on Friday, preparing for a rare summer session of the B.C. legislature. With the results of the May 14 election becoming official on Wednesday, MLAs and cabinet ministers are expected to be sworn in early next week in Victoria. Clark promised the cabinet will include a new ministry responsible for natural gas development, in addition to the traditional energy and mines ministry. Clark is also expected to announce this week where she will seek her own seat, after being defeated by the NDP in Vancouver-Point Grey.
Clark has indicated the B.C. legislature will be recalled this summer, so the government can pass its pre-election budget. The opposition will be heavily focused on the government’s promise to balance the budget by keeping the increase in overall spending below one per cent this year. Previous years saw spending increases of three per cent, despite little or no increase in pay for thousands of public employees. The B.C. Liberal campaign placed heavy emphasis on liquefied natural gas exports, which Clark said will be central to paying off the province’s debt in decades to come. There are multiple proposals for LNG development in the north, including two pipelines proposed to bring gas from shale
deposits in the northeast to processing and export facilities at Kitimat and Prince Rupert. None of the projects has secured financing yet, but the Haisla Nation has announced the latest step forward on its venture with Texas-based investors for LNG exports from the Douglas Channel near Kitimat. Haisla Chief Councillor Ellis Ross announced Friday that Bermuda-based Golar LNG and an unnamed Asian Partner have signed on as investors in the project. Golar operates a fleet of 13 LNG tankers and has another 13 under construction. The BCLNG partnership and others proposed for the region “offer an end to poverty for the Haisla and the opportunity to stand on our own feet,” Ross said.
Chamber gets support on its B.C. Ferries policy Daniel Palmer News staff
The Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce won the support of more than 120 chambers across B.C. on policies related to B.C. Ferries, transit and protecting the marine economy around Vancouver Island. The GVCC received unanimous support for all four of its proposed policies at the B.C. Chamber of Commerce annual conference in Nanaimo on May 22-23. The Chamber wants a regional transportation authority for the Capital Region, greater commitment from B.C. Ferries to fare
affordability and connecting communities and the expansion of private-public infrastructure projects. A fourth adopted policy is a response to federal government plans to create a national marine conservation area in the southern Strait of Georgia, a designation that could impact everything from float planes to container shipping traffic en route to the Port of Vancouver. “Obviously, there’s a lot of industry going on around the waterways … so the restrictions could very well have an effect on eliminating economic activity and negatively affecting the overall Canadian economy,” said
Darlene Hollstein, GVCC chair. The Chamber wants the federal government to clearly state how they plan to fund the necessary monitoring of the proposed conservation area, as well as undertake a cost-benefit analysis to determine whether a conservation designation is the best mechanism to protect the area, which would stretch from Gabriola Island to the Haro Strait. “There are still a lot of questions about how this is going to impact our industry,” Hollstein said. Full details on the policies can be found at victoriachamber.ca. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Don Descoteau On the heels of a successful election to the position of student body president for Mount Douglas secondary, Tamiko Sianen has another feather for her cap. The Grade 11 student’s presentation on the topic of “We seem to be going this way” was judged best among three finalists in the first Royal Oak Rotary Club public speaking contest for high school students. She earned a $1,000 scholarship for her efforts, which included a win at the school level and a topthree position among semifinalists from 11 different schools. Sianen’s impassioned, six-and-a-half minute speech that followed the pathway of an anonymous man’s love for a woman and her observations of such, was inspired by a similar project she did in Grade 10 English class. A member of the leadership club at Mount Doug and a fan of English and math who is also interested in photography, Sianen joked that she and her friends have been tossing around the idea of “working for NASA” after university. But she has no set plans for after graduation. “I’m still on the path of discovery for what I’m doing,” she said. Runner-up in the competition and winner of a $750 scholarship was Alysha Rose from Stelly’s secondary, who chose the same topic from a list of five options as Sianen. Rose gave an emotionally powerful speech, without notes, comparing two written articles on the state of the world: one that saw it as “peachy” and another that acknowledged the hardship, poverty and

J. Peter Berben February 8th 1929 ~ May 28th 2013 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of J. Peter Berben. Loving husband of Yvonne, father of Alfred and Richard (Valerie). Grandfather of Matthew (Avril), Mike, Nick and Alysha. Peter & Yvonne immigrated from The Netherlands to Canada on the day of their honeymoon in 1959, where they arrived in Montreal and took the train to their new home in the Okanagan Valley, later moving to Vancouver Island. Peter’s passion for Canada shows in many documented videos taken of trips throughout the country, however his first and for-most passion was for his family. At this time the family wishes to extend their sincere gratitude to the nurses, doctors, staff and the volunteers in the palliative care unit at Saanich Peninsula Hospital for their care and compassion. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be made to the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation. Sequoia Gardens Memorial

With under two minutes left in the game, Nanaimo made it interesting to come within a goal of another tie. The Timbermen attacked the Peninsula goal and scored three in a row over the goalie’s shoulder. With Nanaimo smelling blood, the Warriors
turned to Flint to help control the play and their other senior players to hold possession. Brett Wilson would add an insurance marker with 55 seconds left in the period, putting the Warriors up 13-11 for the win. A Nanaimo time out with 20 seconds
left could not get them another goal. “They played pretty well, Flint said of Nanaimo, noting that this was Peninsula’s third win over the Timbermen this year. “We are getting better,” he added.
Bonus Prize Deadline Friday!
Peninsula faces a test next week when they host Saanich June 12 at Panorama (7:30 p.m. game time) and then travel to Westshore the next night. Flint said Saanich is probably the top team in the league, so the Warriors have to play well.

PENINSULA NEWS NEWS REVIEW REVIEW -- Wednesday, Wednesday, June June 5, 5, 2013 2013 PENINSULA
Heavy throwing by Pen Track athletes Danny Daniels Contributor
When he’s not assisting Pen Track youngsters and competing in normal track and field events, Carl Jensen likes to help out his fellow throwers at the Victoria Highland Games. So valued has been his work over the years that Carl was presented with their inaugural Victoria International Heavy Events Vision Award at the recent Games during the visit of Prince Andrew. Jensen, although a Masters age athlete, opted to compete in the Open B event, where he placed ninth, throwing far heavier objects than he normally does. Also competing in these Games was Alexandra Norman-Ross, a former Pen Track athlete and coach, now training at the National Throws Centre in Lethbridge, Alberta. Although her Elite Women’s Division was stacked with some of the best women throwers in the world, Alex, ranked number three in Canada, placed sixth overall and came close to setting new Canadian records in two of her events. Having watched the heavy throwers at work, their young proteges went to Nanaimo to prove to be the tops in their own categories. Personal bests were registered by Julia Peterson, 10, in the discus, Sarah Gibson, 14, in javelin, Ben Sammons, 13, in discus and Conner McCullough,
13, in both hammer and shot. McCullough also picked up wins in the 100m, 200m and long jump while Sammonds won the javelin throw (just missing another PB) and placed in his 80m and 200m hurdles events as well as in the high jump. Finn Battersby was first in his 1200m and 2000m races, while sister Piper, 15, winner of the George Dean 1200m trophy at the Parkland meet, won the 1500m steeplechase event. Conor Loughnane, 11, won the 60m and 100m and placed second in the 200m, 600m and 1000m. Blake Furtado, 12, scored his win in the 80m hurdles and added second places in the 200m hurdles, 100m and long jump. Kaelan Smith, 16, took the youth 110m hurdles while Olivia Lucas, 9, Isaiah Smith, 12, and Matteo Hilton, 11, had multiple placements in other events. Among the Masters competitors, Mette Fossberg (W60) returned to competition after surgery to win the 100m while Pegy Morfitt (W75), Anne Murfitt (W50), Les East (M70) and Don Brodeur (60) continued to dominate their events. Just to prove he hadn’t totally exhausted himself at the Highland Games, Carl Jensen (M40) was top of the podium in the shot, discus and javelin. Danny Daniels is a regular Peninsula News Review contributor, covering local track and field.
