Friday, Oct. 10 at 4 p.m. was the deadline for mayoral, councillor and school district trustee candidates to make their intentions known. After all the rumours
about who might be running, the PNR has gleaned a list of all of the official candidates in the Nov. 15 local elections. There are plenty of incumbents in the municipalities the PNR will be covering during the campaign — as well as a lot of challengers. In the editions leading up
to election day on Nov. 15, the PNR will offer readers profiles of the candidates and a series of questions and answers on some of the election issues on the Saanich Peninsula. PLease see: Who’s running, page 3

The District of Central Saanich will proceed with conditional plans to purchase 25 acres of land in Maber Flats after a public open house was held last month. A report written by the District’s Director of Engineering and Public Works was received for information at last week’s regular meeting of council during which two motions pertaining to further investigation into the purchase price and further public consultation were turned down. The District of Central Saanich entered into a conditional land sale and donation agreement to acquire the 25 acres of land in August. A donation by Brentwood Developments Ltd. (the current property owners) could see the purchase price set at $1.17 million. The land is expected be used to construct an agricultural drainage facility in the HaganGraham watershed. Reports and reviews in support of the project were received from the Healthy Watershed Committee, Peninsula Streams and the Peninsula Agriculture Commission, among others, but of note was a report received in opposition to the project from the Agricultural Advisory Committee (AAC). The report cites several issues the AAC has with the project, including concerns about the purchase price of the land being too high and that any project undertaken should be careful to mitigate any adverse impacts on neighbouring farms.

Tip of the Peninsula Liquor coming to grocery stores
VICTORIA – Large grocery stores are the only retailers eligible to add a separate liquor store under new B.C. government regulations set to take effect in the spring of 2015. To qualify for a space to sell alcoholic beverages, stores must have at least 929 square metres (10,000 square feet) of floor space and groceries as 75 per cent of their sales, Justice Minister Suzanne Anton announced Oct. 10. The restrictions are designed to exclude general merchandise and “big box” stores as well as convenience stores, according to a ministry statement. Eligible stores will be permitted to create a “store within a store” with separate cash registers and staff, or “cobrand” with liquor stores outside their existing facilities.

land resulting in more standing water sticking around for longer periods of time. “We’ve seen many of the neighbouring properties to the flats also berm their land because the water level was getting worse and worse. “By berming their land, it exacerbated the problem, but you can’t fault them for it, they have the right to try and protect their land from being flooded,” Ireland said in a previous interview with the PNR. During council’s Oct. 6 meeting, Councillor Alicia Cormier made two motions pertaining to the issue. The first was asking staff to prepare a
“I want to know the other options that are available to us.” – Alicia Cormier recommendation in respect to options for further public consultation. The second asked staff to seek two additional independent appraisals for the land. “The open house was a starting point for public input but I want to know the other options that are available to us,” said Cormier. During the open house, 37 people signed in and 18 feedback forms on the project were received
by staff, McAllister’s report stated. Patrick Robins, the District’s CAO, estimated the cost of seeking two additional land appraisals would run between $6,000 and $10,000. “Technically, should you wish to obtain additional appraisals, nothing would preclude you from going to the vendor with that price,” explained Robins. As for the cost of the appraisals, Cormier argued that six to 10 thousand dollars on a million dollar land purchase is a low cost. Both of Cormier’s motions were defeated during the meeting (Councillor Ryan Windsor excused himself from the proceed-
ings citing a conflict of interest because his property lies within the Maber Flats flood plain). An earlier concept of the Maber Flats project included a partnership with the Nature Conservancy of Canada to create a wetland area and nature reserve, however, the current agreement is just between the District and Brentwood Developments Ltd. Bruce Greig, Director of Planning and Building Services, said public input via email will be collected until midmonth.

Women’s League launches anti-porn effort VICTORIA — Victorians are urged to join the fight against pornography this month by wearing white ribbons of support, and urging government to continue efforts to bring stronger penalties to people who commit offenses against children. Through the month, the 16 Catholic Women’s League of Canada Councils of the Victoria
Diocese will wear ribbons and promote the issue with government through letters and postcards. The group’s previous initiatives against child pornography included a 2003 resolution urging the federal government to expedite implementation of a national strategy to eliminate computer-based child pornography and to increase funding to
help law enforcement agencies enforce it. The government launched the National Strategy for the Protection of Children from Sexual Exploitation on the Internet in 2004, partnering with cybertip.ca to operate the national tipline and conduct public awareness and education. — Victoria News/ Black Press

Vital Signs sheds light on Greater Victoria’s good and bad Jennifer Blyth News staff
VICTORIA — The cost of living has clearly emerged as the number one concern in the minds of people living and working in the Capital Region. The Victoria Foundation revealed this and many other informational nuggets at last week’s announcement of this year’s Vital Signs report at the Hotel Grand Pacific. In the “community report card,” 52.4 per cent of respondents identified cost of living as Victoria’s chief issue, up from 47 per cent last year, Victoria Foundation executive officer Sandra Richardson said in an interview, noting one-quarter said they were working more than one job. The ninth edition of report compiles research and survey responses that offer information about issues affecting the region, with the goal of providing insight, prompting debate and inspiring philanthropy. This year’s Victoria Capital Region Community Wellbeing Survey,
based on the conceptual framework of the Canadian Index of Wellbeing from the University of Waterloo, measures the subjective wellbeing of Greater Victorians in eight quality of life categories: community vitality, democratic engagement, education, environment, healthy populations, leisure and culture, living standards and time use. Recognizing that traditional markers like GDP don’t paint the whole picture of community well-being, the index bridges the gap by using primary research to also reflect areas such as social and environmental well-being, Richardson said. “I think it gives the report a whole lot of extra fibre,” Richardson said. “It really mirrors some of the things people have been telling us for years. “I think you’re going to find this is our best reports yet.” Richardson was pleased with the depth of feedback from the 16,000 distributed surveys, which enjoyed a return rate of about 14 per cent.
In addition to cost of living, additional issues of concern included related issues of housing (21.1 per cent), mental illness (20.3 per cent), homelessness (16.5 per cent), employment (15.5 per cent), and health care (14.7 per cent). Additional issues rounding out the top 12 included municipal amalgamation, addictions, transportation, poverty, sewage treatment and community planning/development. Identifying the positive aspects of life in the region as well as concerns, the natural environment topped the list of the best things about living in the Greater Victoria at 47 per cent, followed by climate (38.6 per cent) air quality (23.2 per cent), friends and family (21.1 per cent), a feeling of safety (19 per cent) and walkability (18.5 per cent). Capitalizing on these and other positive aspects of living in the region, 88 per cent of respondents identified themselves as being happy, 87 per cent feel supported by loving family, companions and/or friends, 82 per
cent feel somewhat or very connected to the community and 76 per cent rated their general sense of mental wellbeing as high – up significantly from 69 per cent last year, Richardson noted. As a significant tool to the community, Vital Signs is open access information, meaning other community groups can use the data to dig deeper, or take up an issue they feel strongly about, Richardson said. Ultimately, the report helps expose areas of interest and concern in the community, including gaps where funds and programs are needed. “I think we’re starting to really see the impact of how the report is being used,” Richard-
son said. In 2012, the Vital Signs cover questioned “Do our kids have a healthy future?” looking at issues such as activity, obesity and Type 2 diabetes. The impact of these and other initiatives, plus the awareness raised by these discussions, is seen in this year’s numbers: Vitals Signs reports that 91 per cent of youth ages 12 to 19 reported spending their leisure time being physically active or moderately active, up from 77 per cent in 2012. Also released is Youth Vital Signs, which gives youth a voice about the issues important to them. Learn more about Vital Signs locally at www.victoriafoundation.ca.

The Bra Lady Is Coming to Town
Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra. Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in. Due to overwhelming response to the previous clinic, Barbara Chapman is coming to SIDNEY, TUES. OCTOBER 28Th AND WED. OCTOBER 29Th to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly. “Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.” Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.
You can sign up for Chapman’s bra clinic by calling
1-800-254-3938 by OCTOBER 27Th
She doesn’t come into town very often so she advises booking as soon as possible.

ongratulations to everyone who has entered their name in the 2014 municipal elections on the Saanich Peninsula. It’s great to see so many people — 20 in the Town of Sidney alone — willing to add their names to this democratic process. In addition to the 20 in Sidney, another 18 people have stepped forward in the District of Central Saanich and 18 more in the District of North Saanich. These are people vying for mayor and councillor of their community, as well as folks Now it’s your turn seeking a trustee’s at the board to ensure there is chair of education for a robust election School district 63 (Saanich). campaign This many names might seem daunting at first — how will we ever pick our candidates from among all those names? That is where your participation comes in. Democracy is about participation — you can’t simply sit back and let it come to you. Well, you can, but if you don’t add your voice and have a say in how things turn out on election day, you run the risk of being alienated by the system even further. To help voters who may be undecided, the News Review will be talking to the candidates, asking them about their backgrounds and where they stand on local issues. There are candidates forums set for later this month and into November and you can find coverage of many of those right here in the PNR. Ongoing and recent stories for the election period can be found at www.peninsulanewsreview.com — just look for the Election 2014 tab on the home page. We also welcome readers’ comments on issues during the election but remember, letters to the editor should not endorse any candidates, only address the issues. Fifty-six people have stepped up this time. Now it’s your turn to ensure there is a robust election campaign. What do you think?

As of this year, the B.C. Treaty Commission has paid out $627 million to First Nations to support treaty negotiations. Most of that is in the form of loans, which are to be repaid out of the cash settlements that Ottawa contributes to settle modern treaties. Pierre acknowledges that some communities are close to completing treaties, but their debt has climbed to near what Ottawa is offering. This would leave them free but broke. Others are just “spinning their wheels” with no real hope of achieving a treaty, Pierre said. The commission is calling for an “exit strategy” for these communities, starting with loan forgiveness that would allow them to pursue economic activity. There are First Nations, Westbank and Osoyoos prominent among them, which are thriving without treaties. Haida and Klahoose have developed successful forest products businesses as they move toward self-government. Federal and provincial governments must recognize the successes, and the failures.

Readers respond: Maber Flats deal; Kinder Morgan pipeline Flats deal questionable I believe that the purchase of part of Maber Flats currently being considered by Central Saanich Council should be an election issue. This is a very expensive purchase of land, cited at over $1 million dollars and the benefits of this purchase have not been made at all clear to me. Our district’s own Agricultural Advisory Committee (AAC) has submitted a very cautionary report that includes comments that the purchase price is unrealistically
high and that a limited budget did not allow for a thorough qualitative or quantitative analysis. The AAC also made suggestions of widening the creek banks and of a series of stepped water retention areas rather than the one large collection basin. I have seen no attempt by council to cost out these alternatives. Many of the positive comments to the project mention that the property is recognized as one of the major wet land habitats on South Vancouver Island. If this is so, then its preservation should not be
solely the responsibility of Central Saanich taxpayers. The approaching municipal election provides an opportunity for a broader discussion of our District’s priorities and costs. Let the proposed purchase of Maber Flats be part of that discussion.

NEWS REVIEW
Vaping industry exploding, medical health officer says Don Descoteau News staff
Some Greater Victoria malls have taken the step to ban the use of nicotine vaporizers indoors. News that the province is prepared to regulate e-cigarettes the same way it does tobacco, governing their sale by the same provincial restrictions, is being applauded by the man largely responsible for prompting the Capital Regional District to institute indoor smoking bans.
Dr. Richard Stanwick, chief medical health officer for Island Health, said his department will likely ramp up its offensive against the growing trend of “vaping” after the civic election and the new slate of CRD directors have been installed. A presentation was made last spring to the local politicians about the existing knowledge and science around “vaping.” Not only has the e-cig industry exploded since then, he said, knowledge about the
chemical makeup of the vapour emitted and the liquids vapourized is becoming more available. Plus, other jurisdictions have instituted their own localized rules. “Given how much has happened since the spring, clearly what we present to them would be dramatically different,” he said. Hillside and Mayfair centres have banned e-cigarettes in their shopping areas. Westshore Town Centre in Langford uses Health Canada guidelines on

smoking and asks mall staff and customers to take e-cigs outside, despite the lack of a definitive stance on vaping from the federal body. The City of Vancouver is considering extending its smoking bylaw to e-cigarettes and adding the word “vapourizing” to its no-smoking signs. Red Deer, Alta. has already adding “vaping” to its smoking bylaw. Stanwick noted that the marketing and packaging of e-cigs is currently unregulated, and their use encouraged to a full spectrum of potential clients, including youth. He compared the scenario to the 1950s, when cig-

raises questions over product safety and concerns that years of antismoking gains could unravel if nicotine addiction rebounds. B.C. Minister of Health Terry Lake said he’d prefer the federal government regulate the battery-powered vaporizers instead, but added the province will act within a year if Ottawa does not. The goal, he said, would be to ensure e-cigarettes face most of the same bans or restrictions that apply on regular ones under B.C.’s Tobacco Control Act, particularly the ban on the sale of tobacco to minors and the rules on advertising and display. Lake wouldn’t say if
the provincial ban on smoking in public buildings and workplaces, or within three metres of their doors and open windows, would also apply to vaping, but he noted cities can pass their own bylaws. Stanwick acknowledged it will likely be some time before CRD directors address vaping from a general public health standpoint. “At the end of the day, our elected officials have the final say. My job is to make sure they have the current information and are absolutely informed to the best of my ability,” he said. “Then they make the decision.” – with files from Jeff Nagel
One vote changes everything, says Shebib Continued from page 3
And like the last time, he says he’s not planning on attending any candidate forums in any jurisdiction. Shebib, who said he’s a member of the Garden Party, said he would only stay in office for a month-and-a-half. Presumably, that would give him enough time to dismantle local governments and force citizens to live in a state of self-governance. “I am like the government already,” he told the PNR in an interview. “I could never have any more power than I do right now.” Shebib said too many people have vested interests in the cur-
rent political system. His ideas include declaring autonomy from government — not just amalgamating the 13 municipalities into one. On amalgamation, Shebib said that just doesn’t go far enough. “The whole process is one of delay. To go faster, one vote changes everything. “Government is supposed to be there to serve the people, to adapt to the people and to the environment,” he said, adding he would like to see all candidates from every municipality get together in one place to talk about who they are and what they stand for. “Then we could all see what they’re made of.”
Shebib’s Facebook page outlines his priorities, from massive gardening projects and adding colour to police uniforms, to “acceptance of the extent of municipal debt, to making crack illegal. He says he runs what is known as the Garbage Guru free store on West Saanich Road in Saanich. Shebib has ran unsuccessfully in nearly a dozen elections – municipal, provincial and federal – since the late 1970s. He was arrested during the 2011 election campaign by B.C. Sheriffs Services officers for failing to appear in court to face a $100 ticket he received for “improper use of wash down” at the Hartland landfill. — with files from Kyle Slavin

arette companies used the cool factor to market their products. While smoking e-cigs is definitely safer than smoking tobacco, he said, some smokers use juices that contain nicotine. Recently, a research report stated that fine particulate matter has been detected in the vapours that can potentially be harmful to people who breathe it in secondhand. Delegates at the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention adopted a resolution urging government action on the products. Critics argue that the growing trend toward vaping rather than smoking cigarettes

Wendy DeBeck plans to offer free rides to anyone in Sidney who wants to vote in the municipal election Nov. 15 and who otherwise would not be able to get to a polling station. lot is a good thing. “If someone’s on the fence about voting, I’d like to dissolve that obstacle. A free ride is one more reason to vote.” DeBeck, owner of Bikram Hot Yoga in Sidney, will use her electric car and offer free transportation to people who call her between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. on election day — Sat., Nov. 15. No reservations are required, she said, adding she is only offering the service in Sidney.
DeBeck said she plans on supporting specific candidates in the election but is not doing this on behalf of any of them. She added she won’t try to convince any of her passengers to vote any differently from how they want to. “I’m there to listen and drive.” If people cannot get to the polling stations in Sidney and require a ride, call Wendy on election day at 250-888-3097. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

That’s why she has decided to help people who need transportation to polling stations in Sidney by offering rider in her own car. “Tragically, there was a really low voter turnout three years ago (the previous municipal election) and that gave me an idea. I could try to help the turnout numbers by helping people get out to vote.” DeBeck said she knows it’s a small effort — she hopes to hit a target of 100 people — but said anything that removes an obstacle to someone casting their bal-

Allen said she believes it’s important for the community to embrace the art-rich culture that is such a big part of the Saanich Peninsula. “Having events like ArtSea, which is an umbrella for so many other arts-related events, allows people to get in touch with the arts community here on the Peninsula.

MEET Together with
Gala finale for ArtSea Festival
STEVE

Funds raised will go to support music programs at local public schools in the Saanich School District
SIDNEY — The Sidney Concert Band will headline the second annual ArtSea Festival Gala Concert on Oct. 24 at the Mary Winspear Centre. This favourite with local audiences will present their popular selection of show tunes as the curtain-raiser to this event, which is a fund-raiser to support music and art programs in School District 63 schools. Each year the Community Arts Council of the Saanich Peninsula (CACSP) grants the school district funds to hire local artists to teach in the schools. Teachers apply for
an artist (this can be for visual, music, performing or literary arts) and an artist is hired to meet that need. Last year, through additional fundraising efforts like the gala, the CACSP was able to double the grant to $10,000. These monies enabled around 4,000 students to engage more deeply with the arts in local public schools. The Sidney Concert Band, under conductor Rob Bannister, includes many former professional and Naden Band musicians, some of whom began their playing careers in school bands, which concert proceeds will encour-
age. The concert, put on by the CACSP, will also feature dancers from the Allegro Performing Arts Academy. These young artists will present a varied selection of solo and group performances, similar to those which received such resounding applause last year. Rounding out the event will be the highlypraised Parkland Jazz Band. Featuring some exciting instrumentalists playing a selection of up-beat favourites, they will provide a suitably rousing finale to an outstanding evening of local talent. Tickets for the event,
$15, can be obtained from the Mary Winspear Centre box office by calling 250-656-0275 or visiting marywinspear.ca. Price includes a glass of wine or other refreshment, plus chocolate truffles and the chance at many great door prizes. Additional fundraising for the Arts in the Schools program will occur during the Sidney Fine Art Show (Oct. 17 to 19) with the sale of raffle tickets. Email admin@cacsp. com or call 250-6567400 for more information on the event or Music in the Schools program. — News staff

Women in Victoria who have experienced violence, trauma, abuse and neglect have the opportunity to go to a safe place to get support from a local women’s centre, Bridges for Women Society. Tomorrow (Oct. 16), Bridges for Women is opening its doors to the public to create awareness about the work they do for women in Greater Victoria. “We really wanted to create an opportunity for our donors, our prospective students and community members to be able to come into Bridges and get the experience of what happens for the clients when they come here,” said Victoria Pruden, executive director. Bridges for Women offers a six-month employment program, preparing women for the workforce, trauma counselling and mentoring, among other programs. “Our typical client is a woman that is in recovery from having left an abusive relationship,” said Pruden. “In some ways the experience of being abused is holding them back.” Through the various programs and counsel-
ling, Pruden said there is always a huge transformation that takes place in the women. “By the time they leave the program, they’re ready to either go out and get work or go back to school.” The open house will be a chance for people to get a behind-thescenes look of what goes on. “We are an agency that deals with safety concerns, so often times our offices are closed to protect the clients who are coming here, so this is a chance for people to come here and check it out in a safe and fun way,” said Pruden. At the open house there will be an opportunity to meet some of the society’s staff and students. Bridges for Women is a not-forprofit society and relies on community donations and fundraising. “We’re finding that our clients are really hungry right now,” said Pruden. Cash donations as well as grocery store gift cards are accepted. Donations can be made in person at 320-1175 Cook St. or online at bridgesforwomen.ca. The open house takes place Oct. 16 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. — Black Press

Peninsula Panthers are looking for wins after changes to team roster and staff last week Devon MacKenzie News staff
The regular season in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League has just reached the quarter way mark and the Peninsula Panthers are still looking for a win. “Although the team has struggled significantly over the past six weeks, there appears to be a lot of optimism surrounding the club and we think that things are looking up,” said team owner and general manager, Pete Zubersky, adding that the team’s intensity seems to have picked up after a number of changes were made to the roster in the last two weeks. The team started the year with 14 rookies in their lineup. “Anyone who has been involved in the game understood that there would be growing pains and we have witnessed that firsthand,” said Zubersky. The team has been blown out on two or three occasions, however, Zubersky continued, for the most part the games have been close. Injuries to team veterans have also played a key part in the early going and at one point, five key players
were forced to the sidelines due to injury. Several are still on the shelf, Zubersky said, but they are slowly returning back to the ice. The Panthers have made a series of major roster moves in the last two weeks, shipping out forwards Jordan Law and Connor Logan to bring in defencemen Austin Singhera and Brett Carpendale as well as forward Josh Poland. The most significant change, however, was Panthers Head Coach Grant Sjerven stepping down. Currently, assistant coach Rob Mortin remains on the bench with the club. “Grant is a fine man and it’s too bad that this situation did not play out differently,” said Zubersky. “I know that he was really taking each loss hard and a couple times it looked like the team had lost the energy they needed. It’s a tough game and I’m sure Grant will be back in it soon, I know he would like to coach again at some point.” The Panthers take on the leagueleading Campbell River Storm on Friday night at the Panorama Recreation Centre at 7:30 p.m. reporter@peninsula newsreview.com

Jones, Glyn June 22, 1910 September 25, 2014 “A Full Life – Well Lived� Born in Camarthen, Wales, Glyn at age 18 became a Maroni Wireless Officer, emigrated to Halifax, N.S. and started his career as a Radio Officer on a steam fishing trawler. In 1939 at the outbreak of WW2 he became a Flight Navigator/Radio Officer with the then civilian Canadian Pacific sponsored Atlantic Ferry Organization (AtFerO) prior to it being absorbed into the later RAF Ferry Command. He crewed the first Hudson Bomber delivered transatlantic non-stop from Canada to Prestwick, Scotland, serving a combined Service total of 10 years. He delivered many different types of aircraft to most War Zones. Post War, Glyn worked for Air France overseeing the delivery of airliners from Lockheed, Burbank, CA. Contract ended, he joined Lockheed, rising to Senior Design Engineer. Glyn and wife Ruth, upon retirement, moved to Victoria, BC. Glyn will be long remembered as a proud Welshman, true gentleman, wonderful friend who was kind, self-effacing and a lover of animals. He left a sense of his joy for life in all fortunate to know him. Many thanks to the Tidman Family and staff at The Peninsula in Sidney for their wonderful care and love during his time with them.
