Teachers on strike Talks broke down on Monday; schools behind picket lines Tom Fletcher Black Press

An exchange of proposals between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and government negotiators on the weekend dissolved in acrimony Monday, with a full-scale strike in public schools already underway. Negotiators for the BCTF and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association met until midnight Sunday, as the union moved from rotating strikes to a full walkout with a “study session” on Monday. The two sides contradicted each other on the substance of the wage offers and each said the next move is up to the other if a deal is to be reached. BCTF president Jim Iker said Monday a complete strike is “imminent,” after union members endorsed the move in their second province-wide strike vote. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said Monday he is waiting for a response from the union to the latest offer from BCPSEA, which represents the province’s 60 school districts. BCPSEA chief negotiator Peter Cameron said Monday he still does not have a full position from the BCTF that clarifies the status of the union’s “truckload of benefit proposals.” Cameron said the union’s latest wage offer is a reduction from its previous position, but when increased benefit costs are factored in, it is still more than twice as much compensation as other public sector union settlements. BCPSEA posted a comparison of the two wage offers Monday. It describes the BCTF proposal as a $5,000 signing bonus. Please see: Exams under services order, page 9

Peninsula News in brief Fire truck returns home

SIDNEY — The Sidney Fire Department has regained Old Engine 92 from storage out at the Saanich Historical Artifacts Society grounds. It has been in storage since it left the fire hall 28 years ago. It is hoped the truck will be up and running for the department’s 100th anniversary celebrations in August. — News staff

this province. The effort uses the hashtag #RespectSeniors and the B.C. Centre for Elder Advocacy and Support handle, @ BCCEAS to allow people to express support for seniors and spread the word about elder abuse issues. Isobel Mackenzie, B.C.’s new Seniors Advocate, says this is a step towards educating people on the reality of elder abuse in this province – but says it must go further. “Social media may or may not be the right avenue,” she said. “Not all seniors are there yet. We’ll still need phone numbers to call, people to talk to, as well as easy-to-use web sites.” As an education tool for younger people, Mackenzie said it, too, is only a start. More must be done, she said, to help people recognize what is, and what is not, elder abuse and how they can report it. Elder abuse can take many forms, Mackenzie explained. For example, a senior living in substandard housing may feel they have no choice but to do so, and be charged too much. There are physical, financial and emotional forms of elder abuse, Mackenzie continued, and it takes a lot to be able to recognize it as something quite serious, or just a decision you happen to disagree with – a situation that can happen to anyone, age 45 or age 85. “Clearly, we aren’t communicating everything in a way that everyone can see or digest. We need to make it easy, use a simple approach to speak to seniors to explain the services and programs they are entitled to in their communities.” Mackenzie said recognizing elder abuse can be as easy as talking to your neighbours, their families and caregivers.

Third year for local ALS summer fundraiser Devon MacKenzie News staff

A discovery flight with the Victoria Flying Club will be given away to one lucky winner during the Frequent Flyer 10k on June 22. The prize includes a tour of the Victoria Flying Club training facility and a flight over the city where the winner will get to fly the plane with an instructor. See www. cycleofhope.ca for more information on how to register for the 10k.

“Having lost my dad to ALS, at the time Robin and I both felt compelled to raise greater awareness and funds for this cause.” – Cindy Lister ponent to the group’s fundraising efforts in advance of the ride. The Frequent Flyer 10k, a community bike ride on the Saanich Peninsula, takes place June 22 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the multi use path around the airport. “This is a brand new event which is designed to be a fun family activity,” said Lister, who added that registration for the

ride which begins at Rotary Park can be done online at cycleofhope.ca. For the months of June and July, ALS Cycle of Hope will also be the charity of the month in Victoria Bottle Depot locations, Lister said, meaning that people can choose to drop their refundables in the charity bins at the depots 4261 Glanford Ave., 655 Queens Ave. and 3961 Quadra St. and all the funds raised will go the Cycle of Hope. “The team has been training hard and we’re looking forward to our 500 kilometer journey,” said Lister. The team leaves for the ride Aug. 6 and begins Aug. 7 in Kamloops. See www.cycleofhope.ca for more information. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Boat bandits booze it up after break-in POLICE NEWS

The Saanich Peninsula beat • On Tuesday, June 3 a Sidney resident was contacted via telephone and told that she was eligible to receive $15,300. She was told in order to receive this money, she needed to pay 10 per cent of that amount in taxes and transfer fees. Unfortunately, she sent $1,530 via a wire transfer to the Phillipines and has not received the money promised to her. Police are reminding people that this is a common fraud scheme and once money is sent to a foreign country, there is very little that police can do to help.

• On June 3 it was reported that someone broke in to a boat at the North Saanich Marina. The boat is a 31 foot long vessel moored on the South dock. Police say suspects entered the boat, rummaged through cupboards and found and drank liquor that was left on the boat. After, the suspects stole a six-foot white Trojan brand dinghy from the back of the boat. Police are still investigating the theft and are asking anyone with information to call them at 250-656-3931. • Sidney Home Hardware contacted police to report a theft on June 6 after a foolish thief made off with four lawn chairs, valued at over $300, from the back lot.

Two quick-thinking employees obtained a licence plate number from the vehicle as it was leaving the parking lot and the registered owner of the truck (who was known to police) was apprehended at his home within minutes. Conveniently, officers found him sitting in the sunshine in one of the stolen chairs.

• Sidney North Saanich RCMP have been out in full force on weekend mornings conducting road checks for impaired driving. The efforts have resulted in impaired drivers being taken off the streets including five immediate roadside prohibitions over a two hour span. Police are reminding drivers that even though the alcohol

may have been consumed the night prior, it may still be in your system in amounts that impair your ability to drive. • On Saturday, June 7 around 11:30 a.m., officers from the Central Saanich Police Service responded to an accident involving a cyclist and truck near the intersection of West Saanich Road and Wallace Drive. The truck was attempting to make a right turn in to a parking lot off West Saanich Road when a cyclist crashed into the passenger door of the truck. The cyclist sustained non life threatening but any witnesses to the accident are being asked to contact Corporal Steve Tysick at 250-652-4441.

Saanich Peninsula resident Cindy Lister and her team of 10 riders are once again taking the roads this summer to bring awareness to ALS throughout the province. Lister, a teacher at Deep Cove Elementary, will cycle with her team from Kamloops to Keremeos this August during the third annual ALS Cycle of Hope. “The Cycle of Hope was started by myself and my good friend and cofounder Robin Farrell,” explained Lister. “Having lost my dad to ALS, at the time Robin and I both felt compelled to raise greater awareness and funds for this cause while doing something we both enjoy. We are now into our third year of the ALS Cycle of Hope project and recently formed the Cycle of Hope Society,” she added. This year, Lister has added a new com-

OUR VIEW

Tag, you’re it on elder abuse

ecognizing and reporting elder abuse is a lot more complex than the province’s latest public relations plan to promote the issue on social media. Asking people to use a hashtag to discuss elder abuse in B.C. will be about as effective as the #bringbackourgirls — an online community discussing the kidnapping of 230 Nigerian girls. And about as effective as the Kony 2012 online video about the leader of the Lord’s Resistance Army in Africa who has been indicted for war crimes. Both of these social media-based efforts certainly did raise awareness. However, the Nigerian girls are still missing and Joseph Kony is still out there. Nice ideas, but as is the lament about online campaigns, they only go so far and our attention spans are so short, we move on to the next best thing. Where an online campaign will have an impact on elder abuse issues in B.C. is in raising its profile. It’s altogether possible that more information will reach people who are genuinely interested in the issue and take definitive action. That action will be ensuring people have a place to go when they witness or are victims of abuse, or people to talk to. As explained by B.C.’s new Seniors Advocate, Isobel Mackenzie, it’s a start in the wider dissemination of information — but people still need to know how to recognize elder abuse. That vital information might possibly find its way through the chaff of online comments and opinions. While it is important to have an opinion on elder abuse, it’s also vital to be able to find resources and support for those who have been victimized. If that can be done in 140 characters or less, great. If not, it’s a waste of time. Like most issues that need serious help, resolving elder abuse will need people to put down the phone, turn off the laptop and talk to their neighbours to learn how they can have a real impact.

Instead, she won a majority and now has to implement her pie-inthe-sky promises. Ontario is bracing for a downgrade in its credit rating based on the election result and is about to go into province-wide bargaining with public service unions who want their share from the Liberal money tree. Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak ran on a plan that sounded similar to the one presented by Christy Clark in 2013: hold the line on spending, balance the budget, reduce the size of government, stimulate job creation. Hudak was rejected for a second time and resigned the leadership on election night. B.C. voters now have three years to see how the Ontario version of Liberal government plays out, compared to the B.C. Liberal version. For us, much depends on resource development, including forest products, natural gas and other trade with Asia. If all goes well here, B.C. can continue to send transfer payments to the fantasyland of Ontario.

NEWS REVIEW

Columnist Tom Fletcher belittles efforts by the NDP Official Opposition to stop Bill 24 and the dismantling of the Agricultural Land Reserve. Mr. Fletcher sarcastically dismisses NDP expressions of concern about the most severe drought in California’s history as a “hot topic”. But he avoids the obvious policy question – why undermine the ALR just when climate change-induced impacts on our most important food supplier are becoming all too obvious? During the election, the Liberal government denied in writing, as with the HST, their intentions regarding the ALR. If Bill 24 is the right policy, then why didn’t the Liberals run on it? But even worse than the HST debacle, the Liberals reneged on a commitment after the election to allow for public input on Bill 24. The NDP moved to refer the bill to a legislative committee to allow for public and stakeholder input but the government voted this motion down and subsequently imposed closure on the debate. Mr. Fletcher accuses NDP MLAs of making “baseless accusations” about the possibility that Bill 24 will encourage speculation and politicization of ALR decisions. But the former Agriculture Minister himself, Pat Pimm, had already been caught interfering in an ALR decision involving an illegally built commercial facility, even before Bill 24 was passed. We believe that under a Christy Clark government, this kind of behavior will continue. We need to help farmers make a living growing food, not by allowing conversion of our

That’s why we proposed a private members’ bill that would require publicly funded institutions such as hospitals to purchase a minimum proportion of their food requirements from local sources.

Ideas not of the council’s making Councillor Podmore (PNR June 11/14) is quick to criticize individuals who are trying to address the economic threat that looms on the horizon. His attempt at vilifying these efforts by labeling them as unwarranted criticisms of him and his fellow council members is typical of this council’s arrogance when it comes to listening to ideas that are not of their making. If it wasn’t for the pressure applied by these letter writers this council would still be sitting on their hands waiting for divine intervention. There would be no organized effort to address the uncertain future facing Sidney’s downtown or “gloom and doom” as Podmore calls it. Mr. Podmore believes the town is recovering from the economic turn down. Perhaps the Mayor’s task force should speak to Mr. Podmore rather than wasting time and money on change and promotion.

and well-being of Sidney. This is a beautiful place and it is being threatened by proposed developments nearby, an ageing population, a lack of affordable housing for young families. It would also be most interesting to know why so many of council’s discussions of municipal affairs, (panhandling, for example) are now held secretly, in-camera. Jon Blair Sidney

Time for a change Re: Councillor Podmore’s letter (PNR, June 1). Councillor Podmore states: “There is a small group of people who continually criticize and blame Sidney Council for some businesses not doing well.” In fact this is a rapidly growing group of residents and businesses as membership in SOS will attest. The reasons are not hard to find. In spite of numerous requests from businesses over the past three years this council has done nothing to fix our gateways, create an accessible tourist information office, impose architectural guidelines or animate downtown by day and night. More importantly it persists in maintaining a one-way Beacon Avenue as “quaint,” thus depriving downtown retailers, restaurants and hotels of added business. Podmore also states “positive things are on the horizon,” by which I assume he means that he continues to maintain his initial assertion that the pending competition from Jesken and Sandown will be beneficial to downtown. Time for a change. Richard D. B. Talbot Sidney

SODC celebrates five years Aquarium will welcome its 500,000th guest this month SIDNEY — The month of June marks significant milestones for the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre; not only will the aquarium be celebrating its five year anniversary on June 20, it will also welcome its 500,000th visitor. In celebration of five years of ‘hands on, hands wet’ education, the aquarium will be offering special birthday-themed programming over the weekend of June 21 and 22 that will include ‘Pin the Tail on the Urchin’, sea star crafts, and a collaborative kelp forest art project. “Our community has truly embraced the aquarium over these last five years,” said Marketing Manager, Christina Smethurst. “The celebration is not only to acknowledge our five year anniversary but it is also a thank you to our members, donors and supporters,” she said. The history of the Centre begins in 2005, when a proposal was approved to combine the Marine Ecology Centre and Sidney Whale Museum into a marine-focused education centre. Just four years later, thanks to funding from a provincial grant, the Town of Sidney and private and corporate donations (including a onetime donation from Shaw Communications — the largest single donation given by Shaw to a charity on Vancouver Island at the time), the aquarium was opened to the public.

Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre Grand opening was June 20, 2009. Then-executive director Angus Matthews (standing) was instrumental in creating the Sidney aquarium. Over 2,000 spectators attended its grand opening on June 20, 2009, including representatives from the Coast Salish First Nations people, local council members, donors and supporters as well as special guest speaker, Celine Cousteau. In just five years, the aquarium holds the remarkable tally of bringing 500,000 visitors face-to-face with the wonders of the Salish Sea. “Around half of our visitors are from southern Vancouver Island,”

said Smethhurst. “The other half have come from all corners of the globe, including a family from Moldova just this week.” The aquarium, Smethurst added, has averaged 100,000 visitors a year. “We’re proud to be not just a local favourite, but also an attraction that draws tourist footsteps to Sidney.” For more information, visit www. oceandiscovery.ca. — Submitted by SODC

That is followed by increases of 3.5 per cent in the first year and 1.5 per cent in each of the next three years, for a total raise of eight per cent plus compounding. BCPSEA’s latest offer includes a $1,200 signing bonus for an agreement by the end of the school year, and a series of wage increases up to May 2019 that includes “economic stability dividend” amounts depending on B.C.’s economic performance.

“[BCPSEA] tabled a comprehensive settlement that includes an improved wage offer and commits to realistic and flexible solutions to address class composition,” Fassbender said. The B.C.

Up in (eight) arms at aquarium SIDNEY — The Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre (SODC) welcomed a new giant pacific octopus after releasing his predecessor, Hermoine, back to her home in the Saanich Inlet. Keeping with a six month release policy, the aquarium has featured almost a dozen giant pacific octopuses since opening in 2009. Having bi-annual turnover ensures that the short life spans of these creatures are spent primarily in the wild. “Giant pacific octopuses only live an average of four to five years,” said Aquarist Sarah Friessen, “so it’s important to us that they spend most of that time in the ocean.” Also central to the aquarium’s philosophy is the educational component of having an octo-

ing the act of opening jars to retrieve food as they’re taught when they first arrive. There is still much that remains unknown about octopuses; they’re solitary animals with extremely sophisticated camouflaging abilities, making them difficult to study in the ocean. The aquarium believes this makes their exhibit that much more valuable. “People can’t help but be amazed at the diversity of skills and traits they exhibit,” said SODC Marketing Manager, Christina Smethurst. “It gives our visitors an appreciation for these animals that they might not have otherwise had.” For more information, visit www.oceandiscovery.ca.

The jovial group has been training for the swim for the last few weeks and seems to be looking forward to the big day despite some concerns about sea life interference. “We’ve seen some sea lions out there and we know there’s harbour seals and harbour porpoises. But there’s also a new species of stinging jellyfish that seems to have appeared that we don’t normally see in the Inlet so

that may be a challenge,” said Preston. The group of colleagues is swimming to raise funds to contribute towards Gervais’ expenses during the SEDNA Expedition, explained Preston. Gervais is a fellow member of Preston’s scuba diving community and a deep water researcher with Ocean Networks Canada. The SEDNA expedition, she continued, will allow Gervais and the team of scientists to learn more about sea ice reduc-

tion and gather new information from a climate that has previously been too harsh to allow access for much investigation. “We’re hoping for a good turnout of family, friends and supporters at the end point of the relay in Brentwood Bay Marina,” said Preston.

The Saanich Peninsula has seen a bumper crop of strawberries this year and one farm is paying it forward. “I’ve been here almost 30 years and I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Derek Scott of Oldfield Orchard farm. “We’re about a week earlier this year on the strawberries than we usually are and we’re expecting it to last another four to five weeks.” Last week, the farm shared some of the berry wealth by donating 800 pounds of strawberries to the Mustard Seed Food Bank in Victoria on June 10. “We do this every year,” explained Scott. “It’s just something we’ve always done and it lets people who might not otherwise have access to fresh, local strawberries enjoy them too.” Scott attributes the bumper crop to perfect conditions over the last six or seven months,

ot quite the urgency to get seeds in now although it is not too late for many things such as lettuce, peas, shallots, which can go in pretty well at any time. It’s a little early for the planting of over-wintering vegetables. Wait a week or so for them. I promise to give you the signal at the proper time. Meanwhile, what needs doing? There is always weeding and watering of course and you should plant your corn now that the soil

is warm. Soak the seed overnight to get it interested in growing immediately. You’ll want to harvest it as soon as possible (what a happy thought). I imagine everyone loves corn on the cob. It’s pretty messy, but oh, so good! If you haven’t yet put in your cucumber seed, do it now or buy small plants at a nursery. Please don’t forget to shelter these from the sun. Tomatoes and peppers can go outside any time now. It helps if you can plant tomatoes against a fence as it

Corporation of the District of Central Saanich NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE is hereby given of a PUBLIC HEARING to be held in the Central Saanich Municipal Hall, 1903 Mt. Newton Cross Road, Saanichton, BC, at 6:00 p.m. on Monday, June 23, 2014 with regard to the following proposed Bylaw to amend LAND USE BYLAW NO. 1309, 1999. CENTRAL SAANICH LAND USE BYLAW AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 1844, 2014 (6871 and 6881 Central Saanich Cross Road and 6884 Saanich Cross Road) In general terms, the purpose of the proposed Bylaw is to amend Schedule “1” (Zoning Map) of Appendix “A” of Central Saanich Land Use Bylaw No. 1309, 1999 for the properties at 6871, 6881 Central Saanich Cross Road and 6884 Saanich Cross Road by changing the zoning designation of the lots, as shown shaded on the map, from the R-1 Large Lot Single Family Residential zone to a new CD-7 Comprehensive Development zone:

Over the Garden Fence gives you something to tie your tomatoes to as they get large and start to bear fruit. You have an uneasy choice now ... are you someone who removes the branches which grow from the “armpits” of tomato plants, or do you leave these to produce more, but probably smaller, fruit? Gardeners are divided on this issue, and will defend their choice with a raised hoe if

challenged! So caution is advised. I never could make up my mind and usually left some of the ones which arrived early and removed those which came later. I always grew too many tomatoes anyway and some years found frozen tomatoes in the freezer from the year earlier, while I was freezing the current crop. I never could throw these away, usually making a vegetable soup. I grew up with my Mother’s advice: “Waste not, want not” and it has stuck with me all these years. The lilies out on the balcony are not yet flowering but the buds are large and healthy looking. Beside them stands a single purple fox glove in a pot. Where it came from I have no idea but it is welcome. Then there

are those determined yellow pansies in with the allium. Strange bedfellow, the allium so tall and the pansies so short, but I’m grateful to have them all. The five amaryllis are going out on the balcony for the summer. I’m going to fertilize and water them well then in a week or so cut their long trailing leaves back to a reasonable size. The hibiscus and the orange tree are both going out there as well. I do want to leave enough room for a couple of chairs, though. I don’t suppose there is a hope of getting an small extension added to the balcony. What do you think? Helen Lang has been the Peninsula News Review’s garden columnist for more than 30 years.

Celebrating 25 years of judo Parkland Secondary School program helps keep students engaged Devon MacKenzie News staff

After 25 years of teaching judo to students at Parkland Secondary School, teacher Mickey Fitzgerald says the most memorable thing is keeping students who might otherwise drop out or give up, involved and engaged in school. “Many of these kids get to see the payoff and success of training and learning a new skill which is something some of them aren’t used to seeing in the classroom. For a lot of them, this is a place where they can excel and learn lifelong skills,” he explained. Fitzgerald, along with Doug Anderson, Jose Tudela, Spencer Gray and Andre Gogol, have kept the sport alive at the school as an extracurricular activity since 1989. “The sport of judo provides a discipline that is needed by many of the students,” said Tudela. “And because it’s an independent sport it gives students who might not be interested in team sports a place to fit in.” After seeing great success with the extracurricular program, Fitzgerald started the Judo Academy at the school two years ago. The Academy allows students to work judo into their school timetable and get graduation credit for it. “That was a big deal,” said Fitzgerald of the Academy. “It meant that kids who loved being a part of the extracurricular program were now able to get eight credits out of it through the full school year.” (MJHP TZY \JJPQ^ Ć^JWX Fitzgerald, a sixth degree black belt him-

It’s an all-encompassing sport.” The school still offers the after school extracurricular judo as well as the Academy, Gogol explained, which gives students a chance to try it out before they commit to adding it to their school timetable. “With the Academy there are some costs
