Greenglade community garden in full bloom Volunteers spent days working on gardens at the Greenglade Community Centre Devon MacKenzie News staff
The garden at Greenglade Community Centre recently received a huge overhaul thanks to over a dozen hardworking volunteers and a grant. In 2012, Panorama’s Elder College program received a federal grant from the New
Horizon Grant for seniors. “Some of the $25,000 grant went to hiring a program assistant and renovating a room into the Elder College lounge and the garden became sort of a major project,” explained Martine King, assistant adult community program coordinator. Prior to the renovation, a small garden was in place at Greenglade and was used
intermittently for summer programming for youth. Through April and May, dozens of volunteers descended on the plot of land and turned it into raised beds planted with vegetables, fruit trees and native plants. Now, King said, the revamped garden will provide programming opportunities for all ages.
“It’s a great asset to Greenglade,” she said. “It will provide space for a new youth programming this summer as well as a space for seniors and other community members to visit who might not have a garden to tend to or enjoy.” Please see: Garden adds to the attraction, page 5

Cliff Plumpton of Saanichton brings his steam locomotive he built with his father-in-law Arthur Pennance out of the roundhouse at Heritage Acres in Central Saanich on Sunday.
A hobby that really picks up steam The train rides at Heritage Acres started with years and years of hard work Steven Heywood News staff
CENTRAL SAANICH — Kelly Paul, Bernice smith and John Sampson arrive in Tsartlip on June 21 after running 535 kilometers in the Heliset Håle Marathon. They ran to raise awareness of suicide prevention and to raise money for their community. They arrive at the Lau’welnew Tribal School at around 10:30 a.m. — News staff
A quick ride around the grounds on a model locomotive at Heritage Acres in Central Saanich belies the years of dedication shown by the members of the Vancouver Island Model Engineers (VIME). On the weekend, members of VIME brought their locomotives out of the roundhouse and offered by-donation rides during the Saanich Historical Artifacts Society’s Summer Fair. Hundreds of families took advantage of the rides on Sunday, when the PNR stopped by. Cliff Plumpton of Saanichton is one of the engineers and says his steam locomotive — based on a Canadian Pacific Railroad engine that ran in Montreal — was built over eight years. It was a chance, he said, for his father-in-law Arthur Pennance to pass on his skills and knowledge after years as a machinist.
Steven Heywood/News staff
Train rides at Heritage Acres in Central Saanich are put on for the public by the Vancouver Island Model Engineers. “He’s 96 and he’ll be here today,” Plumpton said.”Building this locomotive gave him the chance to pass on his skills, which gave him a lot of
satisfaction.” Plumpton himself worked for the CPR’s signal gang when he was 15. “We shovelled for a summer,” he
said. Phil Harrison from Hornby Island and Rudy Walter of Courtenay partnered up to build their one-eighth scale locomotive — a smaller threetruck Shay like the one on display at Duncan’s Forest Discovery Centre. Harrison said he had the plans and Walter had the skills as a machinist. Like Plumpton and his father-in-law, it was a chance to teach and to learn. And like their counterparts, it was a hobby that took them eight years to complete. All agree that it’s a labour of love and a hobby that requires a certain amount of dedication. With a twist of a few knobs on a propane tank, the click of a lighter and blast of hot air and flame, the locomotives started heating up for a busy day on the small tracks, as families from all over the Island lined up at the gate for their chance to take a ride on a little piece of history. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

North Saanich trout ranch project is on hold Steven Heywood News staff
A planned trout ranch in North Saanich is officially off, following the death in January of one of the partners in the project. DarMar Foods Ltd., with its head office in Victoria, had proposed two years ago to build a closed containment, land-based trout farm in North Saanich. Their plan was to use
new technology in the field of fish farming to raise 35,000 trout each year for the grocery and restaurant industries. Mark Sutin, a partner in the venture, told the News Review that his partner Darwin Gunderson died in January, effectively halting the project. Gunderson, as outlined on DarMar’s website, was the foundation of the business which was based on his prototype recirculation aquacul-
ture system. “I was introduced to Darwin by a mutual friend and it took a while to learn about his (prototype) and how to apply modern computer technology to it,” said Sutin. “My own role would have been to make the technology better.” Fish farms in B.C. is a serious issue, one that Sutin said he and Gunderson had hoped to address and improve its image in the province.
“I would have to find someone, another partner, who knows the industry and has the knowledge to make this idea work,” Sutin added. “But I haven’t found that person yet.” While he said he’s open to reviving the trout farm concept, he is looking for other opportunities in the meantime, effectively putting the North Saanich fish farm on permanent hiatus.

Media photo-op just not enough When police and B.C’s anti-gang squad busted two of Greater Victoria’s “top-level” suspected drug traffickers recently, they held a press conference and laid out a large quantity of drugs and paraphernalia for photographers and news media to record. Police were proud to Public safety display their bounty, it “dismantled at risk with drug saying (the suspect’s) ability suspects at large to make money and create crime.” But much like a fishing expedition, the suspects were caught and released, like large trophy fish, back to society. The reason, police say, is to allow investigators time to establish a maximum number of criminal charges. Police further stated they are “concerned” that both ammunition and gun holsters were found, but no weapons. Can we surmise from this then, that these two “highest priority targets on Vancouver Island,” who supposedly operated their growop-come-drug storage operations in heavily populated neighbourhoods filled with families and children, are now out and about with weapons? Police admit the two suspects have a history of violent crime, drug trafficking and connections to organized drug crime in the Lower Mainland. How can the public have any confidence in our justice system, if, after the arrest of suspected criminals police say “represent the top of the food chain for the Greater Victoria area,” they are allowed to walk away – even if only temporarily and under a close watch? The police may have made a dent in their operations, but there is no doubt that these two highly organized, apparently successful drug dealers will be able to pick up where they left off with the help of lesser-known and lesswatched associates. The arrest of suspects at that level needs to be more than simply a photo-op for police. The public deserves to know that along with taking the drugs off the street, the people behind the drugs are off the street as well. What do you think?

Winnipeg. And the three-province project now called “New West Partnership” will continue to dismantle archaic inter-provincial barriers. Why would the NDP be secretly against that? Because it’s also a “labour mobility” agreement. This harkens back to a supposed golden age in Canada, when two corporate titans shared the beer business, producing identical bland lager from identical factories in identical stubby bottles. Interprovincial trade in these stubbies was strictly forbidden, requiring each province to have a big unionized brewery to make uniformly bad beer for the proletariat. This is the power of a monopoly union. And because of it, this was how governments tried to “create jobs.” It’s a bygone era to which many core NDP supporters stubbornly cling. This explains the party’s revival of a “job protection commissioner” for forestry. Which brings us to the proverbial root cause of the B.C. NDP’s woes. Its largest financial donor is the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union, which donated $1.4 million to the party in the past eight years, nosing out the Canadian Union of Public Employees and the Hospital Employees’ Union. Former HEU and BCGEU presidents now sit in the NDP caucus, critics for health and “green” jobs respectively. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

Important to make good bylaws I
wonderful things but let us get this right. Who knows what 20 years will bring and to try and jam all possibilities into one bylaw just does not work. This bylaw will become law. Tickets and fines can and will be challenged, so it is important to take our time with them and get them right the first time. If this means several drafts so be it. Getting something right is not a waste of anyone’s time. I do take exception to your comments in your editorial: “That is especially true for a council that seems to want to be in the middle of most debates and conflicts that their staff could easily handle, given clear direction and a little bit of trust from the politicians.” It appears to me that you do not have a clear understanding of the role of mayor and council. It is our duty to deal with these items and not pass our obligations to others. Mayor and council are elected to determine policies nec-
essary for the activities and actions of staff. We determine services appropriate for our community. We ensure council decisions are being properly discharged by staff. We solicit and reflect the will of the public majority. We would all like to have a crystal ball and know what the future will bring. We can safely plan for 5 to 10 years but over the long term its much more difficult and this job will be even more difficult with flawed bylaws on the books. We are not shirking our responsibilities to provide safe and appropriate protection to our residents. Debate, and even disagreements are all good for the community, it engages thinking. Requests for information from our CAO are not taken lightly but a necessity in order to make good decisions, this is a right of every councillor. Conny McBride, councillor District of North Saanich

Sharon Barker Central Saanich • • • • Editor’s Note: The following letter is the final in a series written by students at Parkland Secondary School, as part of an assignment in teacher Jeff Hilton’s oceanography class.
Save the sharks The oceans are a huge resource that make up over 70 per cent of our earth. We need to realize how much we depend on the oceans for food, oxygen and water. We also need to realize how our actions affect them. A key to keeping our oceans balanced is conserving the sea’s top predator, the shark. Though we may not realize it, something as simple as buying a can of tuna can help in the depletion of the shark population. One of the leading causes in shark population decline is bycatch. The oceans are a sensitive ecosystem. If disturbed, everything is thrown off balance. Sharks keep that balance in check. They do this
by preying on the weak and sick, which keeps populations healthy and prevents them for over population. Scientists consider sharks to be a keystone species, which indicates that if sharks were to disappear, the whole food chain would break down. Though it has come to a point that almost seems irreversible, there are ways to help bring the ocean back to a healthy balance. One is to be more aware of the products we buy that come from the sea. There are many ways to help protect our oceans and though it doesn’t seem like it, even the smallest actions are helpful. Brenda Wood

t is always interesting to read the PNR to obtain their take of what is happening in our community. I would just like to make a few points regarding the proposed Bylaw 1261 and 1262 (traffic and parking) in North Saanich, it’s very important to get this right. It is not easy to amend a bylaw once it has passed the final reading. Copying a bylaw from Vancouver or any other city does not work for North Saanich, some parts will apply but others do not. Our bylaw officer cannot pick and choose the ones that he wishes to enforce. His job is to regulate all the bylaws equally. The bylaw report contained 11 pages. Parking is a big issue in the bylaw but many other items are also included and some do not apply to North Saanich. Parking of trucks and heavy commercial vehicles can be solved by taking them off the street but the noise has not been taken into consideration. Passion and long term vision are

Province
Premier targets spending
Christy Clark plans to call the legislature back this month Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark plans to call the B.C. legislature back into session by the end of June, to begin debate on her government’s budget while she campaigns in a by-election. Clark chaired the first meeting of her new cabinet Monday, after she and the 19 cabinet ministers were sworn at a ceremony at Government House. She said the session will emphasize the same themes as the B.C. Lib-
eral election campaign, balancing the budget and making the economy, not the government, grow larger. A by-election in Westside-Kelowna will be announced this week, and Clark said she hopes to have a seat in the legislature by the end of July after losing Vancouver-Point Grey to the NDP in the May 14 general election. Veteran Richmond East MLA Linda Reid is to be nominated for speaker of the legislature. Clark said there will be no new legislation introduced in the
summer session, aside from an updated version of the February budget. Cabinet ministers were given “mandate letters” itemizing their priorities in the new government. Among those is one to new Education Minister Peter Fassbender, instructing him to seek a 10-year agreement with B.C. teachers, whose current contract expires June 30. Clark also emphasized that the “core
review” of government programs would be a key task for all cabinet ministers. That will look for functions that don’t need to be done by government, and on reducing excessive regulation that Clark said is a natural accumulation of governments over time. Clark acknowledged B.C.’s public service is already one of the leanest in the country, and said the latest review will not likely result in substantial job losses.

A classical music concert this Friday night in Sidney is giving young musicians from Vancouver Island the chance to perform with a large orchestra. Stephen Brown, artistic director and conductor of the Sidney Classical Orchestra, says their second annual Young Soloists Concert on June 21 offers budding musicians unique experience at an early age. “Its purpose is to give young musicians the chance to play classic works with a larger orchestra,” Brown said. “This gives them the opportunity to experience what it’s like.” This year, there are nine young soloists who will be performing for up to 20 minutes each. They are: Sandra Zhou - Piano, Emma Hanna - Soprano, Jenessa Johnston - Flute, Jacob van der Sloot - Viola, Bronwyn Kure - Viola, Rae Gallimore Viola, Leo Yong - Clarinet, Eric Manning Piano, Gillian Harper - Patterns for String Orchestra, Premiere. The Young Soloists Concert is in its second year for the local orchestra. Brown said it first began in 1997’98 but was put on hiatus after arts grants dried up at the time. It started up again last year and is open to any Island musician, age 22 or under. This year’s show, Brown continued, features young musicians mostly from the Greater Victoria area. They are expected to know the pieces they

Peninsula yacht in the hunt in Van Isle 360 J.R. Rardon Black Press
TELEGRAPH COVE— With a stack of nautical charts tucked under one arm and a pair of boat bumpers slung over her shoulder, Tamara Cleaver joined crewmate Cynthia Brossard at the end of the dock to see off the boats for the start of Leg 6 of the Van Isle 360 International Yacht Race Thursday, June 13. Then again, Cleaver had good reason to keep a tight grip on the charts and bumpers. “Yesterday one of the guys dropped a VHF radio overboard,” said Brossard, who serves with Cleaver as the land-based support crew for the Emma, a Ross 930 sloop that left Telegraph Cove in first place in the race around the Island. While the sleek sailboats get the glory, the traveling support crews play a key role in the 10-stage race that began June 8. Cleaver and Brossard travel in a rustic Volkswagen Westfalia camper with the team name, “Emma”, spelled out in red tape. “We carry the spare
spinnaker pole and any other things they don’t want adding weight to the boat,” said Brossard. “The motto is, ‘travel light, and carry a credit card.’” Cleaver, assistant manager at Sidney/ North Saanich Yacht Club where Emma is based, said the ground crew has different missions, including provisioning the the team and providing food and beverage when the sailors arrive in port at the end of each leg. The two women are experienced sailors and will take turns on deck as Emma makes her way down the West Coast of the Island. “I’ve been sailing with these guys for five years,” said Cleaver. “With this boat, I’ve been sailing with them the last three years.” Don’t be fooled by the camper van with the low-budget signage — “these guys” are a well-decorated lot. Emma skipper Eric Jesperson is an Olympic medal-winning sailor. He and his son, Ross, won the gold medal in the World six-metre championships. Two more of the crew are veteran’s of the America’s Cup sailing regatta.
As the boats motored out to the start area in Johnstone Strait, Cleaver and Brossard strolled to shore to plan out their time before meeting the Emma in Port Hardy. “We’ll go back to the cottage we’re staying in, pack all the guys’ gear, get a shower and grab a cup of coffee,” said Cleaver. “And go buy a radio,” Brossard added.
