Apology letter is unwelcome Residents say apology from Stanhope Farm is too late Devon MacKenzie News staff
A letter sent to the mayors of Central Saanich and Saanich as well as the neighbours of Stanhope Farm caused yet another stir in the ongoing stench saga this week. The letter from Gordon and Robert Rendle, owners of Stanhope Farm who partnered with Foundation Organics in 2010, was received by council at their meeting on Oct. 7 in the presence of roughly 100 community members who turned out to voice their opinions that it was too litte, too late. “It was never our intention to impact our neighbours, or to lose the farming focus on our property,” wrote the Rendles. “We are still firstly, farmers. However, we recognize that the disturbance caused initially by the truck traffic “We recognize associated with filling and that the disturbance construction etc., and then the more significant distur... caused by odour and upset caused by problems has been very bance odour problems has been disruptive.” very disruptive.” The letter goes on to – Gordon and Robert say that the parties realize Rendle the odour issue must be addressed and that the family hopes the District of Central Saanich and the Capital Regional District will call a temporary halt on their continuing legal action. The District recently filed a notice of civil claim against Gordon James Rendle, Robert Roderick Rendle, Stanhope Dairy Farm Ltd. and Foundation Organics Ltd. in B.C. Supreme Court. The notice of civil claim seeks a declaration that the composting facility is in contravention of the municipality’s land use bylaws as well as an order requiring permanent cessation of using the property to produce compost for sale.

Visitor Centre in need of cash Chamber of commerce seeking support from area municipalities Steven Heywood News staff
For the Pat Bay Highway Visitor Centre to re-open for the next tourist season, it’s going to need some financial help. The Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce is approaching its municipal partners and other agencies, seeking an estimated $80,000 to operate the centre next year. Chris Fudge, chamber executive director, spoke to

North Saanich council Monday night, outlining the need to come up with enough money to operate the facility and keep it in good condition. “We have identified the total amount of money we need,” Fudge said, “but we are making no specific request to the various municipalities and agencies.” The chamber has sent letters seeking support to North Saanich, Sidney, Central Saanich and the District of Saanich. They are also looking to the prov-

The latter group already has committed their normal annual contribution to the Pat Bay Visitor Centre, leaving approximately $55,000 left to go. The centre is 25 years old and in need of constant repair, Fudge pointed out, adding that plans to replace it with a new facility are mired down. PleAse see: Plans for a new centre, page 4

Steven Heywood
VICTORIA — District of Central Saanich representatives joined their counterparts from the province and other Greater Victoria municipalities in serving Thanksgiving meals at Our Place this week. It was expected that on Oct. 10, Our Place would be serving close to 1,000 meals to Victoria’s homeless.

Festival returns
SIDNEY — The Festival of Trees will continue to be a Christmas tradition, after the Sidney Business Association donated the trees to the Mary Winspear Centre this week. The 2013 Festival opens to the public Nov. 21 and lasts until Jan. 2, 2014. The trees will be decorated by business and organizations. People are encouraged to donate to their favourite decorated tree — with proceeds going to the Mary Winspear Centre’s capital improvement fund and their support of the SANSCHA Foundation’s Children’s Art and Music Fund. — Submitted

Developers of a new, 40-unit small lot housing project in North Saanich have been given the go-ahead to create a subdivision. It’s the latest step in a controversial project that pitted prodevelopment interests in the community against people wary of growth. This conflict manifested itself in prolonged debate among district councillors and extensive work done by municipal staff in creating new policies to apply to increased housing demand. SANPEN Properties is proposing to build 40 new homes of varying sizes at 9395 East Saanich Rd. called Canora Mews. They offered the homes first to workers on the Saanich Peninsula, including North Saanich firefighters, in response to a stated local need for more affordable workforce housing. This week’s approval of a develop-

Land continues to be cleared to make way for a new, 40-unit small lot housing development in North Saanich. ment permit allows the subdivision to take shape, with home building to follow. The permit did not pass by council without some debate, this time over a perceived delay in the district’s approval of the developer’s final landscape plan. Councillor Dunstan Browne initially questioned including this condition in council’s approval of the permit. His confusion stemmed from the
inclusion of a draft landscape drawing in the paperwork. Staff apologized for including the item and noted the final landscape plan will apply to the entire site. Having it as a condition in the staff recommendation, said Director of Planing Mark Brodrick, would help speed up the permit process by not having it come back to council at a late date. The latest crisis averted, council gave unanimous consent.
Weapons incident believed to be case of mistaken identity Devon MacKenzie News staff
Local police are appealing to the public for help in a case that involved a verbal confrontation last week. On Friday, Oct. 4 just after 8:30 p.m. Sidney North Saanich RCMP officers received a report of a man accosting another man who was walking in Sidney near Resthaven Drive and Harbour Road. After accosting the man who was walking, the suspect, who referred to himself as Ben and claimed to be from one of the eastern provinces,
pulled out a weapon. The incident ended with no injuries and Ben and his female companion Caitlin drove off in a late model 4x4 extended cab Chevrolet truck, silver or grey in colour. Police believe the incident was not random but rather a case of mistaken identity. RCMP officers are looking for any members of the public who may have information about the identity of the man and woman in the truck. Sidney North Saanich RCMP can be contacted at 250-656-3931. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

The 25-year-old Pat Bay Highway Visitor Centre is at the end of its lifespan and the Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce needs financial help to keep it open.
Plans for a new centre are on hold Continued from page 1
The chamber and architectural firm Finlayson-Bonet announced last year they had plans to replace the old centre with a new one that would attract more attention from travellers on the highway.
This multi-million dollar project is now, however, on hold as efforts to secure funding from the province have been unsuccessful. Fudge stated in his letter to council that due to ongoing maintenance costs, insurance and pest control, the chamber is “no longer able to bear these oper-

Grifone paid in full CounCil nEWS
District of North Saanich - Mon., Oct. 7, 2013 • Consultant Ed Grifone of CTQ Consulting of Kelowna has been paid in full for his work on the District of North Saanich’s housing implementation strategy. Council sought clarification on this fact, as well as on the wording they used to approve his final report at the Sept. 13 special meeting. The consultant’s work cost the municipality around $35,000. • Consultant Bernadette O’Connor presented a report on the municipality’s tangible capital asset program and staff’s ongoing work to improve inventories and future replacement costs of district infrastructure. The consultant’s work cost the district $60,000, with another $50,000 approved by council Monday night to begin implementing changes to data collection practices. • North Saanich council granted 15 properties an exemption from taxation in 2014. Consisting of mainly churches and not-for-profit organizations, the exemptions add up to $93,846. • Council voted to renew its land lease with the Capital Regional District for the Panorama Recreation Centre — including a clause that the District can negotiate with the CRD should they wish to add another facility to the site. • The municipal hall will be closed for the Christmas holiday again this year, starting at 12 noon on Tuesday, Dec. 24.

UVic satellite builders first in design challenge Team’s creation may well be spacebound Kyle Slavin News staff
SAANICH — A team of students from the University of Victoria are sitting pretty heading into next spring’s final round of the Canadian Satellite Design Challenge. The members of the UVic club ECOSat recently placed first in the
critical design review portion of the competition, in which seven university teams are competing. The UVic students, who have spent the last two-and-a-half years designing and constructing a nanosatellite, have until spring 2014 to improve their creation’s design before the final review and environmental testing occur. Each university team had a goal to build a “3U” cube satellite — 10 centimetres by 10 centimeters by 33 centimeters and weighing about four kilograms.
It would be large enough to house a payload of real experiments and wired to receive and transmit data, generate its own juice from solar panels and be tough enough to be punted from a rocket carrying a large

OUR VIEW
Time to count our blessings W
hile we in Greater Victoria have many things to be thankful for year-round, now is, of course, the best time to express our thanks. We would like to start with the weather. Oh, are we grateful for our weather. While we are still basking in double-digit delight, our neighbours to the north are seeing the first few flakes of winter fall. Now, we realize that sooner rather than later our weather will take a more decidedly liquid form, but as we say around here: at least we don’t have to shovel it. Next would be our quality of life. While this is difficult to quantify, we know we’ve got it good. Around the region we can bike to work, run through forested trails on the weekends, enjoy parks with up-to-date equipment and buy farm-fresh fruit and veggies almost any time of year. We can kayak in November, golf in December, ski in April and those of us with leathery hides can swim in the ocean just about any darn day we please. As far as transportation goes, we’re pretty happy with our choices. B.C. Transit keeps us cruising around town on schedule for the most part. And while B.C. Ferries may take a lot of heat for giving high bonuses and raises to its top executives all the while asking for more subsidies, cutting services and increasing fares … wait, where were we going with this one? Thankful, right, thankful … clam chowder! Yum. Speaking of food. We can’t fail to mention our local restaurants. Whether it’s burgers, sushi, Thai, Indian, Korean, pizza, homemade doughnuts or ice cream you crave, you can find it here and it’s delicious. What would a Thanksgiving editorial be without thanking our municipal politicians? (We’ll let you ponder that for a minute …) No, really. These guys and gals aren’t in it for the money or fame. They work hard on our behalf far beyond one council meeting a week, with very little financial remuneration. They listen to residents’ complaints, take phone calls at home and respond to problems, both big and small, at the drop of a hat. And while our mayors may be low key and perhaps just a little bit dull, at least they’re not Rob Ford. For this we are truly grateful.

At least 42 fish species from the immediate area are considered unsafe for consumption and fisheries there remain closed. New concerns continue to arise. While the initial leak contained cesium isotopes, water flowing into the ocean from the plant now appears to be higher in strontium-90, a radioactive substance that is absorbed differently. While cesium tends to go in and out of the body quickly, strontium heads for the bones. A huge accumulation of radioactive water at the plant must be dealt with immediately. Determining the full effects of years of exposure to lower levels of radioactive contamination leaking into the ocean will take time and require continued monitoring and assessment. While Health Canada monitors radionuclide levels in food sold in Canada, and one of its studies incorporates samples from Vancouver, we need to remain vigilant and demand timely monitoring results. Any amount of leaked radiation is harmful to the planet and the health of all species, including humans. A major release of radioactivity, such as that from Fukushima, is a huge concern, with unknowns remaining around long-term health risks such as cancers. That doesn’t mean it’s unsafe to eat all fish caught on the Pacific West Coast. I’m taking a precautionary approach: fish will stay part of my diet, as long as they’re caught locally and sustainably and will remain so until new research gives me pause to reconsider.

Community needs your help
O
ur community has seen a few minor victories with the District of Central Saanich having filed suit for violation of land-use bylaws, in community members having made presentations to the CRD that brought pressure to bear on plans regarding foodscrap diversion from Hartland landfill, and there has been a reduction in the amount of waste going into the facility by the cancellation or suspension of several contracts. Of course, cooling weather has helped in mitigating the smell too. But please don’t deceive yourselves into believing that this situation is
resolved. We need our whole community to be involved in continuing the fight against industrial composting on ALR land. Have you suffered from sinus or respiratory problems? Is your home up for sale at a reduced market rate? (Realtors spoken to have noted a valuation reduction in the Tanner Ridge neighbourhood of approximately 10 per cent). Please be aware as well, that under B.C. real estate laws, the fact that your home is located within the airshed of a recognized nuisance compost facility must be disclosed to all potential buyers. Foundation Organics is not permanently shut down — they are only under
suspension — and they have requested to almost double the volume of garbage food waste they can process. Other farmers in our community are considering garbage farming as well. We have had approximately 100-150 people turn out to address this issue at various District of Central Saanich and CRD meetings, but we need more voices and more involvement to ensure that this issue is seen through to a proper and responsible conclusion. Please get involved in the fight at www.tannerridge.ca — we need everyone’s help! Andree Penrice Central Saanich
Readers respond: Beacon Avenue traffic direction, climate Better signage and promotion The proponents for two way traffic on Beacon Avenue in Sidney believe that business will improve if the present system is changed. It is more likely that business will suffer, as part of the charm of Sidney is the pedestrian friendly nature of the town. That is because of the narrow street, the ease of crossing, the ease of parking, and the safety inherent in the system. The street is not wide enough to allow angle parking and parallel parking on both sides would create unhappy drivers and fewer visitors and customers. Think of the difference between Beacon west of Fifth Street and east of Fifth. Which do you prefer? Proponents want us to believe the U.S. ferry traffic should be directed to Beacon. Of course people heading to Sidney know where they are going while the vast majority of ferry users are on their way elsewhere. Ask yourself, how often do you drive off

The problem with business in Sidney is the same problem experienced everywhere. There is and has been a world wide recession with impacts at the local level. A shift in the traffic pattern on Beacon would do nothing to change that fact. For many citizens of Sidney and the greater Victoria area the town would be less appealing. You might as well head for Uptown. Rather than throwing away much of the appeal of Sidney, which is its charm and quirkiness, let’s try better signage and better promotion. Barry Bell Sidney
Cherry-picking information Re: Science loses ground to superstition,
Oct 2. It’s interesting to watch how right-leaning journalists like Mr. Fletcher try to purposely misinform readers by cherry-picking information from the IPCC’s recent climate report to suit their personal agendas. The trick is to focus on a small period of time using a recordbreaking base year (1998) for comparison; they also fail to mention the coinciding ocean temperature increases. That way, they can be dismissive about the scientific findings — which by the way are now at 95 per cent confidence that our actions are significantly influencing global warming. Put another way, that there’s five per cent confidence we’re not. So take a moment and read the climate report yourself, so you can interpret the real findings, which are based on a culmination of peer-reviewed, independent papers by hundreds of scientists. What I found is that global surface
and ocean temperatures have notably increased, snow and ice is diminishing, sea levels are rising and greenhouse gases are increasing and are now at an all-time high. They also note, “human influence is clear.” And what is the predicted future? More severe weather events, like superstorms, hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts and related flooding, permafrost melt, landslides and coastal storm surges. This last year the cost for Superstorm Sandy, Calgary, Midwestern fires and
droughts in North America exceeded $100 billion. Meanwhile, the U.N. reports direct losses from such disasters worldwide have been $2.5 trillion since 2000 — a cost that the impacted countries underestimated by at least 50 per cent. There are high costs to an instable climate, scientists are directly tying instable climate with the burning of fossil fuels. Do we really want to play bafflegab with words any longer, or shall we finally take action? Deborah Rasnick Brentwood Bay

Punctual birds spark symposium
Playing oct 11 - 17 Gravity
All Buffleheads Day leads to a local forum on habitat preservation Steven Heywood News staff
Some of the most punctual of birds will arrive on the Saanich Peninsula at around the same time as they do every year — and the Friends of Shoal Harbour Society will be there to greet them. Tuesday, Oct. 15 is All Buffleheads Day, marking the annual return of the small sea duck. Buffleheads come to Roberts Bay and the Shoal Harbour Migratory Bird Sanctuary on their journey south from Alaska for the winter. Observations over the last 16 years by Friends of Shoal Harbour member Kerry Finley shows the Buffleheads arrive around the 298th day of the year. Their appearance signals the onset of winter and this punctuality is celebrated locally as as example of the value of the bird sanctuary. The Society celebrates this year at a welcoming ceremony at 11 a.m. on Oct. 15,

Dignitaries will be on hand to mark the occasion, which kicks off another event on the following Saturday. Society member Far-

and other local interests. A cross-section of the community — from environmentalists and habitat researchers to marine and tourism industry representatives and advocacy groups — have been invited to the symposium, called Sharing our Shores: Towards a Community-Based Vision for Tsehum Harbour and Shoal Harbour Migratory Bird Sanctuary. “There will be short presentations from the stakeholder groups and then there will be a general discussion and advice to our fledgling organization,” Boyce said. He added there are plans to include an art display and poetry inspired by the region’s beautiful surroundings. The Friends of Shoal Harbour is a relatively new organization seeking ways to build community support for the continued preservation of the bird sanctuary, which was established

B.C. minister issues meter fee order Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – Energy Minister Bill Bennett has issued a cabinet order to the B.C. Utilities Commission to make sure it approves fees high enough cover the costs of customers opting out of B.C. Hydro’s smart meter program. The order in council, signed by Bennett and Environment Minister Mary Polak, instructs the independent regulator to approve extra fees sufficient to meet the cost of manually reading mechanical electricity meters that remain in use, or collecting readings from digital meters that have their
radio transmitter turned off on request of the customer. The order also directs the BCUC to approve fees to cover the costs of “failed installations,” either because the customer refused or because an obstacle was placed in the way of the installer. A spokesman for Bennett confirmed that the BCUC may still decide to lower the opt-out fees proposed by B.C. Hydro, or it may increase them if costs warrant. B.C. Hydro sent letters in September to about 60,000 residential customers who have refused wireless meters, giving them until December to choose.
If customers insist on keeping their old meter, a $35 monthly fee applies effective Dec. 1. If they accept a smart meter with the “radio off,” a $100 setup fee is proposed, followed by $20 a month to collect readings starting April 1. If customers do not register a choice by Dec. 1, their meter will be left as is and the $35 monthly fee will be added to their bill. As it does with rate increases, B.C. Hydro will start charging its proposed fees as it prepares to defend them before the BCUC. If the commission orders changes, bills would be adjusted accordingly, with refunds or extra charges added.

Boulders climbers bring home hardware CENTRAL SAANICH — Boulders Climbing Gym athletes Alison Stewart-Patterson (Victoria) and Elan Jonas McRae (Nanaimo) are returning from the 2013 British Lead and Speed Climbing National Championships with extra hardware in their luggage, having won a combined four medals at the event this past weekend in Sheffield, England. Stewart-Patterson and Jonas-McRae, who both train at the Boulders Climbing Gym in Central Saanich and who are members of Sport Climbing B.C. (SCBC), were competing at the British Championships. In the youth lead competition, held on Saturday, Oct. 5, both Jonas-McRae, 18, and Stewart-Patterson, 19, finished on the podium, placing second and third respectively in the junior (age 18/19)

place, with former World Youth Climbing Championship silver medalist (2011) Edward Hamer tied for second with current British bouldering cham-
pion Dave Barrans. Jonas-McRae was the only climber to reach the top of both qualifier routes, with both Hamer and Barrans falling one move before the finishing hold. In the final, both Jonas-McRae and Hamer made it through a complex and difficult roof crux near the top of the route, however Hamer would then advance two holds further up the wall than Jonas-McRae to capture the gold. The silver medal by Jonas-McRae marked the first time a climber from a trans-Atlantic country made it to the men's lead podium at a British climbing championship. The speed competition also attracted international attention,

SENIORS IN FOCUS
Movie talk series reaching out to seniors Seniors in Film at the Star Cinema in Sidney hopes to build relationships, community Steven Heywood News staff
Loneliness tends to creep up on the weekends for some seniors, says Nancy Gray-Hemstock, a member of Sage-ing International and someone who works with seniors in Greater Victoria. Whether they are without family or their relatives are far away, the loneliness does occur when people spend a significant amount of time out of the company of other people. It happens to seniors often, said Gray-Hemstock, who has helped come up with a new way for people in Sidney to shed that feeling of isolation. It’s called the Seniors in Film Series and was suggested by a resident of Sidney to bring seniors out of their homes and into the local movie theatre. Gray-Hemstock said the idea is being copied from a similar program in the Calgary-area and involves watching movies and meeting afterwards to discuss them. Sidney’s first Seniors in Film event took place last month at the Star Cinema and people watched The Bucket List, a film about two older men who embark on a journey to complete their final to-do lists. GrayHemstock said the show and discussion attracted 30 people — pretty good for a program that didn’t get a lot of publicity beforehand, only word-of-mouth. “Twenty people stayed after the movie for the discussion,” she con-

The lively discussion took place in the theatre itself. Gray-Hemstock added they’ll consider having more chairs for this month’s event. In any case, she said it was great to see people talking to each other in an open and enthusiastic way. Seniors in Film, she said, seems to be a good way for strangers to meet, talk and generally overcome any loneliness

they might have experienced. “The key to this is the connections taking place and how each one shares their aspects of the community with the others.” The early success of the program is rewarding for Gray-Hemstock, who through Sage-ing International reaches out to seniors on a regular basis. The organization focuses on positive and conscientious aging. “Aging doesn’t always have to be about decline,” she explained. “It can look like what’s really rich and alive in our lives.” Sage-ing International, according to their website, “is a community of elders and elders-to-be around the globe, whose mission is to create a

world which respects and honors elders” through support, empowerment, workshops and making connections within the community. Gray-Hemstock said the Seniors in Film project has gotten great support from Sandy Oliver, owner of Star Cinema. The movies and discussion take place on the third Monday of each month and Gray-Hemstock said she hopes they will continue into the new year, after they take a break over December. The next Seniors in Film showing is Monday, Oct. 21 and the movie will be Defending Your Life, starring Meryl Streep and Albert Brooks. “That ought to be fun, Gray-Hemstock said, “as it’s a comedy-drama about a couple of people who go to Heaven but they’d like to go back and change a few things.” In November, the film will be Is Anyone There, starring Michael Caine. Gray-Hemstock said she hopes Seniors in Film is successful in Sidney and helps build relationships between people and strengthens the community. “That would be a success for me, having a place where people can share on a richer, deeper level.” Seniors on Film takes place the third Monday of each month at the Star Cinema in Sidney. The cost is $8 per person. For more information, call Nancy Gray-Hemstock at 250-3891448. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

M.Sc., Aud. Registered Audiologist When Should You Have Your Hearing Tested?
People often gradually notice that hearing others in certain situations is challenging, and there is a significant impact on their ability to participate in conversations. You may be: • Asking for more repeats • Having difficulty hearing in background noise • Noticing that people are “mumbling” • Turning the television volume louder When you or your family begin to notice these symptoms you should be getting a hearing test. In some cases a doctor will recommend a hearing test because of other ear-related symptoms such as a sudden hearing loss, ringing in the ear, one-sided hearing loss, ear pain, or discharge from the ear. An audiologist will accurately and objectively assess the presence of a hearing loss and the type and degree of hearing loss. An assessment with your audiologist includes a discussion about listening strategies and benefits that may be expected from hearing aids or other listening devices. The best time for a hearing test is sooner rather than later, before the issues become entrenched in your life and adjustments to new strategies and hearing aids is easier to manage.

Bacon said the premise of Enchanted Halloween is to put on a family friendly event that benefits a good cause. “Our interests are both creative events and also events that have an element of social enterprise, something that benefits the community on a larger scale,” Bacon explained, adding that the Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island is the charitable recipient of all the funds raised. Enchanted Halloween is designed for the whole family, continued Bacon, and doesn’t include anything shocking, gory or violent. This year Enchanted Halloween will feature, as Bacon calls them, “beautifully eerie” displays, train rides, live music, costumed actors and much more. “We change it every year and improve it so even if people have been before it will always be a new experience,” she said. Enchanted Halloween runs Oct. 18 to 20 and 25 to 27 at Heritage Acres in Central Saanich. There is no parking on-site (except disabled) and a free shuttle runs between the dedicated parking at Gateway Park at Keating X Road and the event site.

Palm Court Light Orchestra next season set for Sidney SIDNEY — Argentine tangos, bossa novas, love duets and the music of Leroy Anderson all grace the Palm Court Light Orchestra’s 2013/14 season. The Orchestra, led by conductor Charles Job, presents an eclectic program of light music to audiences at the Charlie White Theatre in Sidney. The season opens Tuesday, Oct. 22 at 2:30 p.m. with Flying Down to Rio, a program of music from Latin America. Starting in New York City the music travels to Mexico, Cuba, Venezuela, Brazil and Argentina. Tangos, bossa novas and sambas are featured in the music of Astor Piazzolla and Carlos Antonio Jobim. Selections include The Girl from Ipanema and Leonard Bernstein’s West Side Story. The soloist is internationally acclaimed accordionist Peter Soave.

Peter Soave performs with the Palm Court Light Orchestra in Sidney on Oct. 22. It also includes the music of Henry Mancini, Morton Gould and film composer John Williams. Selections by Vancouver composer Michael Conway Baker and Canadian composer Robert Farnon round off the program. The season concludes with
Valentine 2014, a celebration of love with Mexican soprano Shadan Saul Guerrero and Sidney tenor Sunny Shams. They will perform duets and solos from operettas by Franz Lehar, Johann Strauss, Ivor Novello, Richard Tauber and Sigmund Romberg and will end with the Waltz Song from The Merry Widow. Now in its 27th year, the Palm Court Light Orchestra is one of the few professional ensembles worldwide that is committed to the preservation and live performance of light orchestral music. It has recorded five commercial CDs and featured many soloists and conductors from across Canada, the U.S.A. and England.

Saanichton resident wins Royale photo contest
Mike Lane wins Royale photo challenge for second time CENTRAL SAANICH — In August, Saanichton resident Mike Lane was named, for the second time, as one of the winner of Royale’s annual Inspire Us photo challenge. Lane, one of eight winners, previously won the challenge for his photo of cherry blossoms he titled Fabulous Springtime. This year it was a photo of orchids titled Orchids to Delight you. Royale Canada received more than 9,000 photos in this year’s contest which ran from September
to December 2012. The photos were judged by a panel and 40 were chosen for an online poll which saw 356,949 votes come in. Through the online voting, Lane and seven other shutterbugs were voted to have their work showcased on millions of tissue boxes as well as receive a $1,500 cash prize.

Friends of Shoal Harbour hoping to draw in more Continued from page 9
The purpose of the symposium, he continued, is to advocate for the value of the bird sanctuary and to find consensus in the community over the protection of the habitat. “If this thing goes well,” we might be able to do it again and the society can act as an agent of the group of stakeholders and get something done.”
Boyce added the society will consider the events a success if they can attract some new followers who are not necessarily stakeholders but who nevertheless enjoy watching birds and visiting the local beaches. “If we gain the some trust and confidence among the major stakeholders, Friends of Shoal Harbour can play a role in getting the community to imag-
ine and eventually embrace a shared vision for Tsehum Harbour and the Migratory Bird Sanctuary. “We have to keep reminding each other that there is some truth in all points of view but no single view encompasses the whole truth and that we are all in this together as dwellers in a beautiful place.” editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Colleen Pringle (nee Kealey) Born September 14, 1931 in Maple Creek, Saskatchewan, Colleen passed away peacefully in the loving presence of her daughter and grandchildren on October 3, 2013, aged 82. Colleen is predeceased by her beloved husband Rod (January 3, 2013), sister Patricia and brothers Ed and Pat. Colleen is still loved and greatly missed by her daughter Kealey, grandchildren Emerald and Kelt, son Rod, sister Shirley, brothers John (Gerry) and Bill (Judy), sister-in-law Mary (Geoff Pringle, predeceased), and nieces and nephews. Colleen was a joyful, positive, kind person. She always saw the good in people and she believed in humanity. She was, and taught others to be: kind, loving, compassionate, grateful, forgiving, selfless, generous, humble, passionate, determined, faithful, dependable, constant, strong, and brave. Colleen worked as a public school teacher, starting two weeks before turning 19 in the town of Lund, in a one-room schoolhouse. She primarily taught grade one and was passionate about teaching kids to read. Colleen met Rod during her first year of teaching in Lund when she was 19 and he was 21. They married a year later in 1952; they had 60 years of joyful marriage together. Colleen employed her love of the intellect through reading, bridge and conversation. Colleen read voraciously and constantly sought more knowledge through books, people and travelling. She enjoyed, since the age of eleven, the game of bridge. After Rod’s retirement, they played three or four times a week. Colleen was a staunch socialist and an active, impressive leader in her community. In 1969, she ran for MLA in Vernon with the NDP accomplishing a stunning second in a conservative riding. Colleen and Rod were an integral part of a Unitarian Fellowship in the Okanagan for 30 years. Colleen believed and lived the Unitarian Principles, such as the inherent worth and dignity of every person and the interconnectedness of all life. After retirement and the family grown, Colleen and Rod left the Vernon family home on Okanagan Lake and moved to Victoria to be close to their grandkids. Colleen was always warm, friendly and kind. She gently reminded us: “Be good to yourself. Be sweet, and above all, be kind.� A service will be held in Victoria December 7. For condolences or to inquire regarding the service, mccallbros.com.
