Local man works to give back to community that supported him Devon MacKenzie News staff
After the community rallied around him and his family over the last two years, a Sidney man is doing what he can to give back. Chris Wallace, father of Coen Wallace (3) who was born with non-functioning kidneys, decided last year to look for ways to give back to a community that supported his family through thick and thin. “Since Coen has had a transplant and is healthy I looked back on all the support we got from the community and I wanted to give something back,” Chris said. Chris works for the Town of Sidney in the Public Works department and utilized his to come up with “This is the sort of connections a way to give back. “I approached the Town stuff that goes on right and Beacon Community Serhere in our community vices last year and we came up with an idea to help out that no one knows families in need over Christabout.” mas,” said Chris. Through their client con– Chris Wallace nections, Beacon Community Services was able to provide Chris a list of families last December who were in need of a little help with gifts and essentials over the holidays. “The response was crazy. People were so generous and the list that came from Beacon Community Services was eye opening,” Chris said, adding that among the recipients on last year’s list was an 18-year-old girl whose parents both died and she was left caring for her four siblings so they didn’t get separated in foster care. “This is the sort of stuff that goes on right here in our community that no one knows about.” PleaSe See: Five families will have a happier holiday, page 3

Expect fewer roadblocks this winter
Peninsula News in brief

p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.) Cash donations for the cause will be accepted at Sidney Town Hall during office hours (Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.) For more information and a full list of items needed, visit www.sidney.ca.
A cut in funding will reduce CounterAttack roadblocks this holiday season, but Greater Victoria police say that won’t stop them from cracking down on drinking and driving. Increased police presence on the roads is starting mid-December, but for many departments the number of extra, overtime roadblocks deployed will be less than in past years. Saanich Police Department’s overtime roadblocks have been reduced from the usual nine to three. Victoria police is receiving $15,000 to fund extra roadblocks this winter, versus $45,000 in 2012. West Shore RCMP does not get extra funding for CounterAttack. “It’s been reduced from our numbers over previous years, however we are still actively involved in the program,” said Saanich police Sgt. Steve Eassie. ICBC supports the CounterAttack program through a funding agreement with B.C.’s Ministry of Justice and the attorney general. An ICBC spokesperson reported the agency is investing about $23.7 million in “enhanced enforcement” in 2013, including CounterAttack, speed enforcement and seat belt checks. This amount is consistent with prior years, but the money is distributed by the ministry. Reduced funding for the winter CounterAttack is due to an increased focus on the summer CounterAttack program and an overall new approach to the distribution of funds. Winter CounterAttack is running about half the length of time it did last year, resulting in decreased funding and fewer roadblocks.

Smoke forces hotel evacuation Discarded cigarette butt thought to be the cause of small fire and smoke at Travelodge Steven Heywood News staff
Firefighters believe a discarded cigarette butt is behind the evacuation of Sidney’s Travelodge on Beacon Avenue on Sunday. At around 9 a.m., the Sidney Fire Department was called to the hotel after patrons and staff there reported smoke filling the lower floors. Deputy Fire Chief Brett Mikkelsen says
when crews arrived, they found all four floors filled with smoke billowing up through the southern staircase. A fire had started outside of the hotel, close to where the building vents a laundry room. Mikkelsen said the volume of smoke made it appear that the fire was coming from a dryer, but in reality, it had started outside. “It wasn’t a dryer fire,” he expained. “In the parking lot,
there is a grated area where there are dryer and other vents. At its base was a collection of leaves and other debris next to a bucket used (by smokers).” A cigarette butt, Mikkelsen said, probably fell into that area, started the fire and sent smoke billowing through the Travelodge. He added the official cause of the fire is still under investigation. The hotel was evacuated as a safety precaution, Mik-
kelsen said. “The staff did a good job helping us with that,” he said. Once the building was clear and the fire out, Mikkelsen said crews got to the roof to help vent the smoke. He added there was no damage done to the building, but it will smell like smoke for a little while. Seventeen firefighters attended the incident from the Sidney department, as
well as RCMP and paramedics as a precaution. When it was determined there was no danger, he said firefighters were able to get into some of the occupants’ rooms to retrieve bags for those people who needed to catch a plane or a ferry. “That was a bit of customer service,” Mikkelsen laughed. “As long as the fire is under control, we want to serve the community.”

Three new ferries to use LNG Tom Fletcher Black Press
B.C. Ferries has invited bids from five shipyards to construct its next three replacement vessels for its fleet, with dual-fuel engines for diesel and liquefied natural gas. Two of the new mid-sized ferries are to be in service by 2016, replacing the 48-year-old Queen of Burnaby on the Comox-Powell River run and the 49-year-old Queen of Nanaimo that serves the Tsawwassen-Southern Gulf Islands route. The two replacements will have capacity for 145 vehicles and 600 passengers, including crew. A third ship is to be ready in 2017 to provide
peak-season service to the Southern Gulf Islands and relief for ships undergoing refit. Seaspan Vancouver Shipyards is the only Canadian shipbuilder invited to bid. The others that prequalified for the project are in Norway, Germany, Poland and Turkey. The deadline to bid is Feb. 28. Mark Wilson, B.C. Ferries’ vicepresident of engineering, said the ships are to run primarily on LNG, which is currently about half the cost of diesel, produces less carbon dioxide and all but eliminates sulphur and nitrogen oxide emissions. B.C. Ferries expects the introduction of the three new ships to cost between $200 and $300 million.

They hope to fill bins and boxes full of food donations for the food bank. He added this will be the fourth or fifth year for the annual food drive. Donations are also being taken at the Sidney fire hall. Mikkelsen reminds people to also consider re-stocking their earthquake preparedness kits with food — and donate what’s left to the local food drive effort. “We hope people are generous.” “It’s always been a little bit
of a competition to see which department can raise the most,” laughed Rob Syverson of the Central Saanich Fire Department, adding that there’s even a trophy — made of cans — that’s awarded to the winning department each year. The CSFD will be dropping off brown paper bags in advance of Saturday to Central Saanich residents to give people a chance to prepare for the 14th. “We’re going to be dropping the bags off today (Wednesday, Dec. 11) that way people can fill them and leave them out if they
aren’t going to be home during the food drive,” explained Syverson. The two fire departments will also be accepting food and cash donations at their respective stations as well. “We’ll be out from 1 to 4 p.m. in Central Saanich that day,” he said, adding that [the] departments are looking for canned and dry goods, personal hygiene items or cash donations. The North Saanich fire department will be cruising the streets of Dean Park Dec. 21 collecting donations in the afternoon.

Eassie said he hopes the message has been getting through to people over the years, and that everybody finds safe ways to get home from Christmas parties. Taxis, designated drivers, public transportation and alternative driver programs are suggested methods. “We can only hope that our citizens are

ANAVETS rally big for food bank One-night fundraiser nets over $4,000 Devon MacKenzie News staff
The ANAVETS Sidney Unit 302 rallied big this month for the Sidney Lions Food Bank. A one-night fundraiser held Sunday, Dec. 1 at the club raised $4,100 for the local food bank which serves over 1,000 clients from the Saanich Peninsula. “This was our 11th year doing the fundraiser and we managed to raise $600 more than we did last year so that was wonderful,” said ANAVETS Unit 302 Vice President, Charmain Lee. The fundraiser saw club members attend an evening at the club which featured a pool tournament, a silent auction, raffle and door prize draws, food and music bingo. “Everyone was incredibly generous and we were so happy to be able to donate the amount we did to Bev Elder at

Every year, Lee hits the streets of Sidney and surrounding Peninsula communities in September seeking donations for the silent auction. “It’s not until you get out there and start handing out those donation request letters that you really realize we’re still in a major recession.
That’s what makes it even more amazing that the businesses came through in the way they did, it was wonderful,” Lee said. The money donated to the food bank will go to purchasing items for the food bank’s Christmas hampers as well as to keep the shelves stocked after Christmas. To go with the cheque, the
ANAVETS Unit 302 also collected non-perishable food items and unwrapped gifts during the fundraising event. “We have a huge bin full of toys to go to needy families this Christmas which is so important,” Lee said. Along with fundraising cash and items for local community not-for-profits like the food bank, the club also hosts meat draws three times a week which generate funds they donate to other community organizations. “We’re having a meat draw on Sunday, Dec. 15 and we’re also hosting the Sidney Firefighters’ New Years Eve party on Dec. 31. We try and do as much as we can for our community,” said Lee. For more information or tickets for the Sidney Firefighters New Year’s Eve party (proceeds from ticket sales will go towards the department’s centennial celebrations) at Sidney ANAVETS Unit 302, call the Sidney fire department at 250-656-2121.

OUR VIEW
Impaired drivers still the target Fewer CounterAttack roadblocks this holiday season doesn’t mean you can take the party on the road. According to ICBC, around 30 per cent of car crash fatalities are related to impaired driving. That’s why ICBC funds enhanced enforcement to help prevent impaired driving through CounterAttack campaigns in July and December. This year that funding shifted, with more cash for summertime roadblocks and programs such as seatbelt campaigns. Saanich police, for example, have three extra roadblocks this winter instead of the nine set to snare drinking drivers last December. The shift seems inevitable when you look at Stats Canada numbers from 2011 that show 1,355 impaired driving accidents in the nation over one July weekend, (15 to 17) plus Canada Day (1,449) and the last weekend of July (1,411). Over the Christmas weekend that year, Dec. 23 to 25, there were 792 incidents. While the necessary funding shift from winter to summer appears to leave officers high and dry hopefully the message is getting through. The psychological effects of generations of drivers expecting to see roadblocks has culminated in a distinct fear and expectation during the Christmas season that those familiar flashing lights could be around the next corner. Common fodder, and complaint, over pints in the pub is that B.C. has the most stringent drinking and driving laws in the country. In cash alone it can cost from $600 to more than $4,000 in fines and fees if you get caught. That’s aside from the legal and moral implications. As a society, we don’t think it’s okay for folks to overindulge and drive home. Police across the region routinely respond to calls from the public about possible impaired drivers. Aside from seasonal CounterAttack roadblocks, police are always looking for the telltale signs of an impaired driver. Training these days even extends beyond alcohol, so officers recognize drivers ingesting other substances before getting behind the wheel. Greater Victoria police are adamant funding changes won’t stop them from cracking down on drinking and driving – after all, B.C. has the toughest laws in Canada. What do you think?

Eyford was dealing with the profusion of gas pipeline projects that are set to cross northern B.C., as well as the Enbridge and Kinder Morgan Canada oil proposals. The entrenched opposition is against oil, particularly heavy oil in tankers. Politics and protesters aside, these are the facts for B.C. The prosperous provinces in Canada today are Alberta, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland, based mainly on energy development. The rest are struggling. B.C. continues to lose skilled workers to Alberta, where oil sands development continues to expand despite the continuing chorus of U.S.-financed misrepresentation of its environmental impact. It’s a key moment in Canadian history. This is where we see if we can go beyond our status as a client state of the U.S. This year’s B.C. election, where pandering to urban protest backfired on the NDP, suggests a new seriousness in the public mood. More people understand today that our comfortable modern society with free-access health care is a fragile thing. We have it better than most of the world, for now.

Consider safety on Beacon Avenue
R
e: Be heard on Beacon, Nov. 29, 2013. While I have no idea who Brian Losie is (the writer of the letter to the editor published in the Nov. 29 edition of the News Review) I challenge his comment that there is a “small but spirited group” trying to change the two way traffic in Sidney. As an owner of two businesses on Beacon Avenue, in my discussion with fellow merchants on the strip, I am convinced there is in fact a very large group of store owners who are troubled by the current configuration — a group that is composed of those who think the future of our town is dependent upon the number of tourists who enter our wonderful town and who also know how to leave the same town without any confusion. If we don’t address how they enter and how they then leave in a logical manner we are going to continue to lose tourists. I can personally attest to the
number of visitors from afar (and people from Langford, Esquimalt, etc.) who come to my stores and who tell me on a regular basis they will never come back because the roadways are so confusing. Sometimes business owners are too busy just trying to keep their heads above water to write letters to the editor. That doesn’t mean that they aren’t concerned, it just means that we are too busy to get involved. Tourists, however, are not my major concern. I am more concerned about safety. I recently wrote to the mayor and council of Sidney, addressing the issue of safety of the current configuration. I have again witnessed a near tragedy this past week. In this particular case the driver of an SUV made it from the corner of 4th to almost to the corner of 5th before encountering a car. The distressing fact was that at the time of the
possible encounter the car heading up the wrong way on a one way street was, by my estimation, going over 65 km/hr. I think he realized his error and was trying to correct it as soon and as fast as he could, by going as fast as he could. If the oncoming car had not moved over, there would have been a major head-on collision. I hope the people who are against the idea of making Beacon Avenue a two-way street from the highway to 2nd Street think about the safety issue. There is not a day that goes by that I do not witness a car going up Beacon the wrong way and at least once a week I witness a potential near head-on collision. It is only time before we have a fatality. Tourists assume the major artery in a town is a two-way street. Let’s accommodate the tourist. The locals can adapt. Jennifer Leigh Hill Sidney
Readers respond: Oil and gas, feeding the birds Read things for yourself Eli Flicker (PNR letters Dec. 4) presumes that “87% believe oil and gas development is economically important” means 87% of people are in favour of the northern gateway pipeline. Even the poll he cited states: “These segments use other criteria to determine their support for pipeline construction. For anyone attempting to engage the public in a pipeline debate, these results suggest the need to use different kinds of evidence when addressing certain audiences.” The question I ask: why would you poll Alberta and Ontario (the players who will benefit most financially) on a pipeline running through B.C.? The stats on the Harris-Dec-
ima poll state heavy support from Alberta on all projects. If you remove their vestedinterest the average comes way down. If you remove what Atlantic Canada thinks about a B.C. issue, the average comes down farther. I encourage everyone to read things for themselves, don’t get your opinion from the opinions section of a newspaper because for all we know, Eli Flicker could be a spin-doctor for the oil and gas lobbyists.

Cherry picking data Re: Climate conundrum, PNR Dec. 6. In endeavouring to get the facts of global warming, T.V. Gogol selects the years of 2005 and 2009 as being particularly hot and indicative of the acme of global warming. In doing this, the author is guilty of cherry picking the data. The global temperature of the period 2000 to 2013 is the average of all the years, not just the two hottest ones. There are five sets of temperature measurements that give global temperatures. From 1979 to 1998, all five show global temperatures gradually increasing. 1998 was a very hot year, because of El Nino. After 1999 until today, all five sets show the average global temperature stopped rising and we have had no global warming for the past 15 years. The conundrum arises because, in the past 15 years, we have been adding industrial carbon dioxide to the atmosphere at the greatest rate ever and yet the global temperature does not increase the way many people say it should. Of the explanations offered, the only one that withstands criticism is that carbon dioxide does not cause much, if any, global warming. The problem with this explanation is that governments are spending billions on various projects. In B.C., politicians don’t want to criticize climate change, because it represents a great excuse to impose a carbon tax that is a nice virtuous source of income for the government. F. F.

Special thanks also to our town staff who worked so hard in getting our town looking so special and for those staff who were on duty the night of the parade. We all know we live in the best little town in Canada, this weekend just proved it even more. Thank you everyone and have a wonderful Christmas.

NORTH SAANICH — Deep Cove’s own Oliver Swain delivers his brand of alternative folk and traditional music to the masses with a smile and a twinkle in his eye. He eats, sleeps and breathes music and his prolific career evidences this in many ways. With his pure, finely tuned vocals that have an astonishing range and his undeniable skill behind a banjo or upright bass, Swain grabs the attention of all who hear him and holds it with his enormous sound and stature. After spending fifteen or so years honing in his craft with various bands such as Outlaw and The Bills, the last several years found him playing solo shows across Canada building an enormous fan base and finally releas-
ing his solo debut, In A Big Machine, to critical acclaim in 2011. Glenna Garramone’s music is a reflection of her fascination with the edge. Inspired by the geography and spirit of the places she has lived, from Nunavut to Hawaii, she harmonizes the experimental with the classical and the unexpected with the organic. Somewhere between Keith Jarrett and Joni Mitchell, Garramone’s

Garramone regularly provides vocal harmonies to Oliver Swain’s

Marijuana referendum petition in B.C. fizzles at two-thirds mark Jeff Nagel
Black Press
The Sensible B.C. campaign to spark the decriminalization of marijuana in B.C. is up in smoke after falling short of its goal. Pot activists got 210,000 signa-
tures or about two-thirds of the 300,000 needed — 10 per cent of voters in all 85 B.C. ridings — for their initiative petition to potentially trigger a referendum. They had aimed for a target of 450,000 to provide a buffer against disqualified signatures.
“It’s a pretty remarkable accomplishment,” Sensible B.C. head Dana Larsen. “We’ve definitely demonstrated a high level of organization and support for this cause. Had we been operating under the rules of pretty much any other refer-
endum system in the world, we would have qualified to be on the ballot.” He said the 4,500 registered petitioners reached the threshold required by Elections B.C. in 19 electoral districts and got at least eight per cent in five more.
Successful local campaigns happened on much of Vancouver Island, the Kootenays and other parts of the Interior. But in the vote-rich Lower Mainland that holds the most districts, marijuana advocates came up short.

Don’t be a mean-spirited fink this Christmas E
very day more ads pour in,offering gifts for everyone from the family cat to a distant aunt (whom you don’t really like). It gets a bit wearing, doesn’t it? I think the way to go — so that you don’t go completely mad — is to scan them quickly and if nothing appeals to you discard the lot and wait for
tomorrow’s offering. Something that seems possible is bound to turn up, or best of all you could send a card saying “Merry Christmas, I gave the money for your gift to a charity who will use the money to help someone less fortunate than you.” The recipient may not be too thrilled but
this works two ways: it not only makes you feel good but helps someone who is having a hard time and will be amazed to find that someone actually cares. And anyone who is miffed is a mean-spirited fink! I have a really lovely poinsettia wreath made of red felt flow-

longer so we don’t tire of seeing it hanging there for the whole month of December. Recently, I had breakfast with friends. Joan spoke about sending Christmas cards to England and with a sinking feeling I realized I hadn’t yet even bought any cards — a job for tomorrow for sure. I have a hard time these days sending cards. I can’t help wondering if some of the cards will be returned with that terrible black pencil stroke across the envelope notifying me that that friend no longer exists. I find this terribly depressing — almost as bad as the ones I receive addressed to Mr. and Mrs. Jim Lang when my dearest Jim has been dead for now eight years. Where have these people been that they don’t know that? So, I cross them off my list. It’s hard when you are a sentimental sort of person. I can’t help but wonder if they even remember who I am (to be
honest, I’m not sure who they are either, so cross them off the card list.) This is hard to do and each year brings more cross-outs. This year I think I’ll not buy boxed cards but pick out individual cards for special people that mean something to me. This will, of course, cost more, but what am I saving it for? My old age? Wait a second, it’s here! To make things easier, I’m going to send the great-grandchildren money. This may seem coldhearted and lazy but each of them will be thrilled — their own money to buy whatever they want (candy, lipstick, eye shadow, cheap perfume, manly deodorant) and it’s more fun than getting another sweater that is the wrong colour, doesn’t fit, is scratchy, and, worst of all, has to be hand-washed.

Stelly’s Global Gala a success Saanich community gains new perspectives Kaylee Butler and Connor Williamson Stelly’s Secondary
On the evening of Nov. 21, 700 members of the community attended the Stelly’s Secondary Global Gala. The Global Gala is an annual event that raises funds to send a dedicated group of young humanitarians abroad. This year, 27 students have prepared for their travels to Nepal, a landlocked country in southern Asia. There, they will complete the construction of a desperately needed day care and waterline. The annual Gala evening features an array of dining and entertainment, as well as a locally funded silent auction. Each year, Stelly’s opens its doors to the community, showcasing both the diligent work of global Perspectives students and the artistic and culinary talents of local youth. But that’s not all. An evening of this magnitude cannot go off without a hitch unless you have clear guidance and a committed crew. This is where co-ordinator Odessa Cheeke offered her expertise. “This experience has been memorable. It was tough and did take a lot but at the end of it all you feel amazing. Like you accomplished something that will mean so much to those affected by it,” Cheeke said. Coming from a student, it is clear that this event has become more than just a fundraiser, it is quite possibly life-changing. Cheeke added that the evening would not have been possible without the attention and energy giving by a group of inspiring Grade 11 students. “The Global 11 class this year was great. They were enthused, involved and waiting to help. Without them this couldn’t have been as great of a success.” But where do the students learn the tools they need to make this work? From the sponsors of the class Tim Storm and Chris Mcdonald, Gala veterans. “This year was great. Every student was committed and involved, willing to help others and never expecting less than the best from themselves. It was a great year and a memorable one at that,” said co-sponsor teacher Tim Storm. Having the drive and determination to hold an evening that raises over $22,000 is something many students the age of Cheeke and her peers haven’t done. These youth demonstrate to a community what it is they want to do, plan to do, continue to do and have done. People like them are what makes a community, and a society noteworthy. In light of Nelson Mandela’s recent passing, his memorable quote that “it always seems impossible until it is done” seems to apply to the students and the program. — Submitted

t’s the perfect time of year to talk about eating and your health. The Christmas season is notorious for its impact on people’s waistlines, followed by the dreaded New Year’s Resolution to eat right and shed those extra holiday kilograms. There are constant pressures to eat poorly, from office candy boxes and luncheons to family dinners. Add to the mix the stress of the season and you’ve got a recipe for bad health. Or at least poor eating habits. The best way to stay on the wagon over the

Health, is to stick to normal eating patterns. That means eating three well-balanced meals each day, with a couple of snacks thrown in. “The holidays are often a stressful time for people,” says Krenz, a registered dietician. “There can be a lot of emotional eating. It’s a way of taking your mind off of what you’re stressing about.” That way of avoiding stress during the season is made easier, she continues, with the sheer volume of social eating. People tend to gather around food — that’s normal, Krenz says — but this can often lead people into eating more than they normally would. It’s at this point when people who do not want to look forward to extra weight, health effects (or that dreaded resolution) should be very mindful of eating — or not eating. “You need to start with eating regularly,” Krenz says. “There’s no need to be fasting or going on restrictive diets. Natural eating means three meals a day and a couple snacks. It’s eating when you’re hungry and stopping when you are full.” She encourages people to enjoy themselves at mealtime — taste the food, enjoy its sights and smells — but to be mindful and don’t wolf things down in five minutes. Meals are an experience, she continues, saying people should take time to talk, to
Eating healthy starts at home Gayle Lundy of Sidney says she has prided her own family for its healthy lifestyle — something she has taught her own children. From gardening, eating whole grains and more, Lundy says “we’ve always had it in our minds to eat healthy.” Speaking about a food product called Ra Energy (a mix of slow-release high protein organic seeds - hemp, unhulled sesame, sprouted buckwheat, chia and flax - that offers a solution to the blood sugar highs and lows for those at risk to diabetes) Lundy says in addition to eating right, a lot of good health relies upon good willpower. “I have more energy than I did one-and-a-halfyears ago.”
socialize, and not just focus on the eating. Krenz says there are a couple of sure signs that you are full and notes it does take about 20 minutes for the stomach to tell the brain that it’s full. One sign is the simple feeling of being full. “Ideally, you don’t want to be eating to the point of discomfort and bloating. Eat until you are satisfied.” Generally, the body will tell you when it’s satisfied. And when faced with social pressure to eat more and more, Krenz says it’s easy to hold off on seconds when telling your host you’re saving room for dessert. That leads to Krenz’s tips to remember this and any season: • Plan ahead. On Christmas Day, remember to eat breakfast and lunch (maybe eat a bit less, but do eat), drink lots of water and keep veggies and fruit handy to snack on. • Build in some activity into the day, a walk
or a game to get the body moving. • Avoid New Year’s resolutions to avoid food. Krenz says this just leads to overeating leading up to Jan. 1 (because after that date, it’s no more indulgence, right?). • Don’t deprive yourself. Normal eating, says Krenz, includes your favourite foods. • Skip the guilt. If you do overeat, try not to dwell on it. “It doesn’t do any good,” says Krenz. “It just leads to more overeating cycles.” She encourages people to be persistent — get back to eating normally and working on other issues, such as positive body image. “In our society, a lot of people are dissatisfied with their body image. This is due to many things, including media. “There can be health at any size,” she continues, “if you can be active and happy and focused on healthy eating.”

FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS DEATHS
Latour, Gladys Gladys passed away November 24, 2013 in Saanich Peninsula Hospital. She loved life and lived in the present moment. She had strong opinions on people, politics and power. She was concerned that climate change is a threat to mankind. Fine (classical) music and her park like gardens were a real and constant pleasure for her. Gladys seldom talked about her past despite having an interesting life story. Raised in Vancouver, Gladys became accomplished in music, singing and multiple languages. As a young woman, she sang with the San Francisco Opera company, fulfilling one of her dreams. She became fluent in French in order to live and work in Paris. Securing a position with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), she worked in France for 20 years until her retirement to Sidney BC in 1984. On her return to Canada, Gladys enjoyed her stray cats, comfortable home, extensive gardens, live music and local community. She continued to travel abroad annually. She had a deep love and concern for all animals and she always fed the raccoons, squirrels and birds. For us, she was the last of her generation; being predeceased by her beloved husband Jacques in 1992 and her brother Douglas Yearwood in 2003. Gladys will be missed by her family and friends for her compassion, progressive thinking, intelligence and her love of life. No funeral service by her request. Donations in her memory can be made to Saanich Peninsula Palliative care.

Parkland girls mixing it up on the court High School Hoops Preview: Senior girls team hopes to repeat last year’s success in league play Steven Heywood News staff
Getting younger players some on-court experience is the focus of coach Larry Green and his Parkland Secondary seniors girls basketball team this season. Following on last year’s performance that saw the squad finish well in AA-league play in the South Island region, Parkland has brought up five Grade 9 players to work alongside six older, more experienced athletes — such as returning Grade 12 player Kristy Gallagher. Gallagher has returned to the Panthers for her senior season and is already showing why she is deserving of some looks by college and university
scouts. Green said Gallagher put up 53 points against Mark Isfeld of Courtenay at a recent tournament, against some other top-notch players. “I’ve had a lot of highlevel players [on his teams] in the past,” said the coach, “but none of them were like this kid.” Many of Green’s players live and breathe basketball, having gone to camp during the summer or playing with club and provincial squads before the start of the school year. With that talent and dedication, Green said it’s the team’s goal once again to make it to the AA Island finals — with the ultimate goal to win their way off the Island and into the provincial tournament.
“We are probably more athletic this year than last,” he added. To help his girls succeed by the end of the season, Green has them lined up to play in some 30 games. Last year, his team went 18-11. He hopes to match that success, while allowing the younger players to gain the experience needed to build the team for the future. “Lauren Fanelli and Sara Gibson have been surprises,” Green said. “Honestly, all of the Grade 9 girls ... you would not know that they are that young.” Parkland faces strong competition again this season — from the likes of Pacific Christian School, Lambrick Park and St. Michaels. Green said they will be competitive all year.

Peninsula Panther Tate Coughlin (#18) looks to come up with the puck in a crowd on players last Thursday night in action against the Saanich Braves. Coughlin, 16, scored twice and was named the game’s 1st star in a 4-2 Panthers win. “But we went up to Mill Bay and although we outshot the Islanders again, we came up short. We don’t have enough traffic in front of the net and although I keep saying this until I’m blue in the face, this message does not sink in. We need our leadership to step up and make the guys more accountable. If we want to go a long way in the playoffs, we have to get those

The Peninsula Panthers are continuing their home winning streak, this time dispatching the visiting Saanich Braves 4-2 last Thursday night. The club has only been on the wrong side of the scoreboard at home twice this 2013/14 Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League regular season, which has lodged them in second place in the VIJHL Southern Division. It was Saanich Braves’ Josh Poland who put the team on the board Thursday night at the 15:41 mark of the first frame. After that, something set a fire under the Panthers and they came out for the second period scoring three unanswered goals (Tate Coughlin scored twice as well as Kyle Richardson) to take control of the game after 40 minutes of play. Panthers’ goalie Joey Karrer stopped 17 of 19 shots on goal. On the weekend the Panthers travelled to Kerry Park to take on the Islanders Saturday night but lost the hard-fought battle 4-2. Scoring for the Panthers were Iver Oedegaard and Kai Turner who was an emergency call-up for the game. “On Thursday we were full value for the win,” said Head Coach Brian Passmore.
