Sidney master runner Lucy Smith gets a big hug at the finish line after placing second in her women’s 40-49 division in Sunday’s Pioneer 8K race in Central Saanich. For the race results, see page 14.
There have been an increasing amount of laser pointers interfering with aircraft operations in B.C. and Canada since 2009, including one aimed into the cockpit of a Helijet helicopter north of Elk Lake recently. On Dec. 31, Helijet reported a laser strike during a medical flight between Nanaimo Regional General Hospital and Victoria’s Jubilee Hospital. The incident involving a green laser light took place at around 4:45 a.m. nearly two nautical miles north Elk Lake in Saanich. The “Basically, you’re of pilot reported the incident endangering an to NAV Canada, which in turn was listed with the aircraft.” Civil Aviation Daily Occurrence Reporting System – Cpl. Erin Fraser (CADORS). Helijet experienced another laser strike Jan. 7 when a flight from Victoria Harbour reported an incident four nautical miles southeast of Vancouver International Airport en route to Vancouver Harbour. The second incident was reported to the RCMP but the first was not reported to local RCMP, the Central Saanich Police or Saanich Police departments. According to Transport Canada statistics, laser pointer incidents went from 108 across Canada in 2009, to 443 in 2013. The official numbers for 2014 were not available but a search of the CADORS site indicated 512 files related to laser interference. In B.C. alone, there were 65 incidents in 2013, compared with only 23 in 2009. Corporal Erin Fraser with the Sidney North Saanich RCMP says it’s a matter taken very seriously by police. “Basically, you’re endangering an aircraft,” she said. Fraser noted the local detachment hasn’t received a report of a laser strike near Victoria International Airport for approximately three years.

Celebrating Volunteers
Hearts
of the Community
Nominations open until Jan. 29 for volunteer groups, individuals or projects Angela Cowan News staff
As the saying goes, “Those who can, do. Those who can do more, volunteer.” Those dedicated folks who offer up their free time to support their communities, help the less fortunate, or simply bring a smile to someone’s face, do so with a single driving intention: to somehow make a difference. Oftentimes, volunteers travel under the radar, going about their days quietly and with no accolades for the hours they contribute, but Beacon Community Services and the Peninsula News Review are aiming to change that. This February, the 17th annual Hearts of the Community Volunteer Awards Celebration will honour volunteers from across the Peninsula with live entertainment, presentations from municipal officials and a community luncheon. “This is a chance for the community to really say thank you to the people who are making this a wonderful place to live,” said Kerry Readshaw, spokesperson for Beacon Community Services. The call for nominations has been put out, and all fields of volunteer work, past or present, are eligible as long as it’s been on the Peninsula. Previous celebrations have included nominees from a wide variety of work. “It’s difficult to think of an area that’s not affected by volunteerism,” added Readshaw. From working with youth, to environmental conserva-

This year’s celebration of Saanich Peninsula volunteerism takes place Thurs., Feb 19. tion, to volunteering in the hospital, to senior care and fundraising for community projects, past awards and nominees have “really run the scope,” she said. There’s no limit to the number of nominations, and more are always welcome. “We’re wanting our inbox to fill up,” she said. The awards themselves are limited to six, but every nominee is recognized at the ceremony; something Readshaw said is “heartwarming” for those that attend. “You get the behind-thescenes stories from them. And it’s touching to come together
and see the power of what volunteers have accomplished in the community.” The awards will include a special $1,000 scholarship for an Outstanding Youth Volunteer, a teen aged 14 to 19 that has demonstrated exemplary volunteer service either in a Saanich Peninsula school or in their community. “That’s often a highlight of the ceremony, to see the youth and see what they’re doing for their community,” said Readshaw. The free event is open to everyone, but tickets are required, she added. Nomination forms and com-
plimentary tickets can be picked up from the SHOAL Activity Centre, 10030 Resthaven Dr., the Mary Winspear Centre, 2243 Beacon Ave. or the Peninsula News Review offices, 103-9830 Second St. in Sidney, from Beacon Thrift Shops in Sidney and Brentwood Bay, or downloaded and printed from beaconcs.ca. Forms are to be dropped off at the SHOAL Activity Centre, faxed in to 250-655-4420, or can be scanned and emailed to hearts2015@beaconcs.ca. Nominations must be received by Jan. 29 and tickets will be available near the end of January.

When it does happen, she said police try to get a location from where the light beam came, from the pilot involved. They will search the area, but she admitted arrests can be difficult to make. Transport Canada stated that under the Aeronautics Act, anyone convicted of pointing a laser into an aircraft faces a maximum fine of $100,000, five years in jail — or both. Canadian Aviation Regulations forbid the projection of bright lights into airspace. Doing so at an aircraft, stated Transport Canada, can possibly distract pilots, cause glare or even temporarily blind a pilot — and endanger the safety of everyone aboard. editor@peninsula newsreview.com

Residents, police chase robbery suspect Police able to apprehend and arrest suspect within eight minutes of incident Angela Cowan News staff
Thanks to the assistance of neighbours and a quickthinking resident, Central Saanich Police were able to solve a daytime robbery that occurred in the 7300-block of Veyaness Rd. At around 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, a 55-year-old couple returning home from an outing found an unknown man in their house carrying a backpack loaded with their valuables. The residents confronted the suspect and a fight ensued, but the suspect was able to escape. One resident gave chase while his wife called 911.

Central Saanich Police apprehended a robbery suspect after they and a resident gave chase Monday afternoon. As the homeowner chased the suspect, his calls for help attracted the attention of several neighbours who also called 911 reporting the suspect’s movements. “It gave us a direction of
travel, which was really helpful,” said Sgt. Greg Johnson of the Central Saanich Police. Police were able to quickly track the foot chase and took the suspect into custody about one kilometre from the
incident. The arrest was made within eight minutes of the incident being reported. Police later learned the suspect, 34-year-old Blair Joseph Mchugh, is a violent offender from the Lower Mainland currently before the courts for other serious matters. All of the stolen property from the home was recovered and at this time police believe no other homes were broken into. The resident who gave chase suffered some cuts and bruises and received several blows to the head, said Johnson. The Central Saanich Police commend the neighbours
for coming to the assistance of the homeowner. “Incidents involving suspects caught inside a residence are very rare and can be dangerous,” said Johnson. “We always like to remind residents the police are trained and equipped to handle dangerous situations such as this. If there is a choice, residents should remove themselves from situations and notify police rather than directly confronting a suspect.” Mchugh appeared in court on Monday afternoon and was held in custody facing multiple charges. reporter@peninsula newsreview.com
Collision on Lochside sends three to hospital Alcohol a suspected factor in head-on crash in North Saanich Friday afternoon Angela Cowan News staff
A head-on collision in North Saanich on Friday afternoon that sent three people to hospital is still under investigation, said Sidney North Saanich RCMP
Sgt. Wayne Conley. At approximately 2:30 p.m. a two-door Pontiac sedan travelling north on Lochside Drive near Cy Hampson park veered into oncoming traffic and struck a southbound white Dodge Journey SUV. The driver and passen-
ger of the SUV, a 48-year-old woman and a 62-year-old woman, and the driver of the sedan, a 54-year-old woman, were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. All women live in Central Saanich. Fire and ambulance were

already on the scene when RCMP arrived. Central Saanich Police had received a report about the Pontiac sedan several minutes before the collision, said Conley. “There’s an indication of alcohol involvement,”
Conley said, adding that no charges have been processed yet. “There’s a lot of follow up to be done before there can be a decision to press charges,” he said. reporter@peninsula newsreview.com
HAFI Funds Home Modifications for Disabled Man When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13 years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced. “The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small. I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.” Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheelin shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.
“ I just slide into the shower now,” said Walter. “I feel safer and no longer dread trying to wash myself. What was previously a dangerous chore for me is now a welcome treat.” Walter and Lorie hope to spend the rest of their lives in their home. The HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

Guests of the award-winning Beacon Inn in Sidney are welcomed each evening into the guest lounge with a glass of sherry, says Innkeeper Denise Peat.
Sidney Inn makes top 10 list The Beacon Inn regaled for its cozy and romantic flair Angela Cowan News staff
Though not many would call Sidney’s downtown hectic, when stepping into the foyer of the Beacon Inn on Third and Bevan, there’s an urge to let out a long, slow exhale and curl up on one of the inviting sofas in the guest lounge. It’s this welcoming feel that no doubt contributed to the Inn being awarded a spot on Bed&Breakfast.com’s 2014 top 10 Canadian destinations. “It was a pleasant surprise,” said Denise Peat, innkeeper for the past nine years. “We were absolutely delighted and we’re in good company.” The Beacon Inn was one of four in the
Victoria area that made the list, which was determined by overall positive customer reviews and feedback through Bed&Breakfast.com. With more than 11,000 properties listed on the website, Peat said the award is certainly a feather in their cap. “It’s pretty significant if you’re in this industry.” Open since 2001, the Inn has seen more than 10,000 guests come through their doors and a lot of people come back time and again. About 20 per cent of their customers are repeat guests, she said, and added that even now, a couple from Oregon decided to extend their annual January stay to the entire month. “It sounds a little hokey,” said Peat,
smiling, “but a lot of people really do start to feel like we’re family.” And no wonder. Snacks and fresh-baked goodies adorn the tables in the breakfast nook, and every evening, guests are invited to settle into the lounge with a glass of sherry and enjoy the warm glow of the fireplace. In a town already well-known for its charm, this local gem with its Edwardian decor and understated luxury embodies the hospitality of Sidney — and now the rest of Canada knows it too. “It’s great recognition for our staff,” said Peat. “They work so hard.” For more information, visit beaconinns. com. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Point the blame in right direction
A
s if bird strikes and other airborne hazards weren’t enough, it seems that pilots on Vancouver Island and across the country now have a new threat to worry about. Actually, the issue of this threat — laser pointers — isn’t all that new. Transport Canada has been keeping track of incidents of so-called laser light striking an aircraft’s cockpit since 2009 — and possibly even earlier. There are thousands of aircraft flights each year across the country, so a statistic of 443 laser pointer incidents in a single year (2013) doesn’t sound like that many in comparison. That figure is, however, 443 preventable incidents. And while none of those reported laser strikes resulted in an air disaster, the fear is that they might It’s an act of pure do just that. Hence the steep idiocy in the first fines ($100,000) and jail time (five place years) associated with convictions. Aviation authorities hope these will act as deterrants to prevent serious incidents. Catching those responsible is another matter. Pilots can often pinpoint the general area from where the light came from, but by the time police arrive, the perpetrators are usually long gone. So, Transport Canada and the aviation industry have turned to education to stem the growing tide of laser pointer incidents. They hope by telling people of the potential impacts — such as damaging a pilot’s eyesight to the unthinkable — that most will keep laser pointers where they belong and not aimed at aircraft usually taking off or in their final descent into an airport. It’s an act of pure idiocy in the first place and one has to wonder what people who do this are thinking. Like any tool meant for a specific job and abused by an individual, laser pointers can be a menace and should be carefully watched over to ensure they don’t end up causing an incident that everone would regret.

t’s tedious to start off the New Year with the same old, same old, namely the double dose of climate change deniers, Sketchley and Chilton, who feel obliged to routinely “enlighten” readers on matters beyond their credentials. In attempting to defend Tom Fletcher’s ramblings, Mr. Sketchley admits that “his recent writing has not been a model of clarity,” then proceeds to give an obtuse spiel, dropping all the latest bafflegab, without context. His website indicates that he goes by the name of “Kurmudgeon Keith” or “Enterprise Bureaucracy EradiKator,” and a Google search turns up reams of his pontifications on everything under the sun, as if he has an evangelical mission to save us. It also turns up a public letter by the
former editor of the Goldstream News Gazette (May 13, 2011): “Right wing’ letter writer rude insulting,” complaining loudly that Black Press continued to “subject its readers to the offensive rantings” of Mr. Sketchley. “All of us, as a community of individuals,” the former editor advised, “are obligated to stand up to bullies with a view to marginalizing … their appalling and unacceptable behaviour,” and he recommended that his future letters “should be sent straight to trash.” Yet Mr. Sketchley still commands Black Press with his regular bully pulpit. Indeed, the PNR elevated his letter to large bold headlines, “Don’t ignore the many regional weather variations,” as if it had credence. Mr. Sketchley’s and Mr. Chilton’s opinions do not represent the overwhelming
scientific consensus that humans are responsible for climate change. They are, by far, a minority, and unless they have have the proper credentials, they should spare readers from such unfounded diatribes. It takes arrogance to spout such nonsense especially since they won’t be around to take responsibility when our children inherit this beleaguered earth. J.K. Finley Sidney Editor’s note: Today’s collection of letters on the subject of climate change brings to an end the debate referenced by Mr. Finley above. All sides have had their share of space and now it’s time to make way for other comments by our readers on different issues seen in the PNR.

The shakeout of liquefied natural gas proposals for B.C. continues, with ExxonMobil’s large-scale project for Prince Rupert moving ahead and smaller projects changing or withdrawing plans.

owned site on Tuck Inlet north of Prince Rupert Harbour. One of the larger of 18 B.C. proposals, West Coast Canada LNG (WCC LNG) proposes up to five floating barges for LNG loading with onshore support facilities and an estimated capital cost of $15-25 billion. WCC LNG sorted through a half dozen sites in Kitimat and Prince Rupert, where the larger of B.C.’s 18 current LNG export proposals are also claiming sites. Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman says 2015 is when the LNG industry begins to take shape, despite a slump in oil prices and rising competition from U.S. and other gas producers. “New drilling activity in our upstream sector demonstrates investors remain confident in B.C.’s long-term natural gas potential,” Coleman said in a New Year commentary released last week. “One of our province’s largest Crown land sales in history

If you can’t avoid the flu, know when to seek help Tips from Island Health in the wake of a large Island outbreak SIDNEY — The prevalence of influenza and other illnesses is contributing to higher than normal patient volumes in Island Health hospitals, particularly on Southern Vancouver Island. Public health officials are expecting at least another week of higher than normal level flu activity across the region. Members of the public are urged to remain at home when they are feeling sick and avoid visiting friends, family and loved ones who may have compromised immune systems, including persons living at residential care facilities.
Symptoms Typically, influenza starts with sudden onset of fever, sore throat, cough and muscle aches, but you may have some or all of the following symptoms: fever and chills; body aches, especially in the back and legs; headache; dry cough; Weak and tired; sore throat; runny or stuffy nose; loss of appetite
Self-care Be aware that in
most healthy individuals, illnesses like influenza can usually be managed at home. • Stay home and rest — this is one of the best things you can do to fight the flu and avoid spreading it to others. • Drink plenty of liquids. • Take medication for your symptoms — your pharmacist can help you choose the right over-the-counter medicine. • Gargle — to help a sore throat, gargle with a glass of warm water mixed with a half-teaspoon of salt. Throat
lozenges can also be effective. • Wash your hands often — this will help you avoid spreading the virus to others. • Ask for help — you may need to ask for help until you are feeling better. • If you have a chronic health problem or are taking medication, get advice from a pharmacist or your physician.
Know when to see a health-care provider It is time to see a health-care profes-
sional if you experience the following: • You become short of breath or have difficulty breathing; • You have chest pain or pressure; • You are coughing up dark coloured or bloody sputum; • You are wheezing; • You do not start feeling better in a few days or have had a fever for three or more days that is not going down; • You have started to feel better and suddenly feel much worse; • You are confused or extremely drowsy and
find it difficult to wake up; • You have extreme pain in your ear.
day at 8-1-1, for advice.
Consider whether a trip to the emergency department is necessary
• Clean your hands often. Soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer are equally effective for cold and flu viruses. • Stay home when you’re sick — from work, from school, from the grocery store, library or any other public setting. More importantly, please do not visit people who are at high risk: people in hospital or residential care facilities — especially the frail elderly. • Get your flu shot. It is not too late to get the influenza vaccine. While this year’s vaccine is not a perfect match for this year’s strain, it still provides partial protection and is a defense against
If you need urgent medical attention, do not hesitate to come to the Emergency Department or call 9-1-1. Be aware that patients are treated according to the severity of their illness or injury. Higher volumes at this time of year may result in increased delays for patients who do not need urgent care. If you need nonurgent care, contact your family doctor or visit a walk-in clinic. You may also wish to contact HealthLinkBC, available 24 hours a

other influenza strains that will likely circulate later this season. • Keep frequently touched objects clean. Things that people touch a lot such as doorknobs, faucet handles and TV remotes should be cleaned often. • Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing — or cough or sneeze into the crook of your elbow rather than your hand. Promptly dispose of the tissue properly in a waste basket or garbage. • Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches their eyes, nose or mouth. — Island Health

ing collaboratively on a play at the Fringe Festival in Vancouver. “We knew how people enjoy the connection with the visual and the music, and that was basically the seed for this idea,” says Noble. “We thought, let’s look at the Canadian landscapes from artists.” The idea grew to include reading prose passages from Canadian authors and poets, and soon the whole thing took on a life of its own. “Once we’d actually started, we realized it was going to be something really interesting,” he says. It took seven months of daily, unfaltering
efforts to build the show. From March of last year straight through to September, the weeks were filled with hours of research, compiling material and making phone calls trying to secure permissions to use the many artists’ images. Their efforts were well-justified; the show boasts 402 images from Canadian artists past and present. Renowned artists Emily Carr, Robert Bateman and Ted Harrison are only a few of the threads that Noble and Shillingford have woven into their project. Toni Onley, David Blackwood, Roy Henry Vickers, Charles Pachter and W. Allan

Hancock, alongside many others, have all lent their individual visions and style to the show. And not only is there a wide variety of artists; the images themselves sweep across the nation. From fishing boats in the maritimes, to the stark landscapes of the North and across to the coastal shoals of B.C., every province and territory is in the spotlight. “We went out of our way to make sure that we did get representation from each and every place in Canada,” said Noble. “There’s quite a lot of First Nations represented in this show as
well. There’s something from everywhere.” Noble has written 11 original songs, each to celebrate a different aspect of Canada, including the majesty of the Rockies and the history of the B.C. coastal tug boats, and uses his music to carry the audience through the images. “The marriage of what’s being said with the images and the music is just amazing,” says Arthur Black, who will lend his voice to the show for a third time to read passages and quotes about the Great White North.

Piping in the haggis Greater Victoria Police Pipe Band celebrates 12th Annual Robbie Burns dinner Angela Cowan News staff
With the ghost of a Scottish accent lingering in the air, the Greater Victoria Police Pipe Band will celebrate Scotland’s national poet at their 12th Annual Robbie Burns Dinner next Saturday (Jan. 24) at the Mary Winspear Centre. Whisky tasting, a silent auction and 50/50 draws are some of the perks of the evening to keep you entertained until the traditional Burns’ dinner. Not to worry, haggis participation is optional. After the dishes have been cleared, attendees will be treated to a live piping and drumming performance by the band, as well as performances by highland dancers. Proceeds will go to support the Police Pipe Band’s 2015 community and cultural initiatives. The band makes 40 to 60 appearances throughout the year, promoting the music and pageantry of Scottish pipe bands, and helping to enhance the profile of the police within the community.

For Black, an award-winning author, longtime broadcaster and CBC radio personality, A Northern Tapestry is one of his favourite projects. “The hardest part of this show is keeping my eyes on the script and not on the screen,” he says. “They’ve marshalled paintings here that I’ve never seen before, and the images are just spectacular. It’s a glimpse into the soul of Canada.” And there’s always something new to see, he adds.
“Rehearsals are the bane of my existence. But this show, every time I go through rehearsals, there’s some new nugget that I didn’t see before. This thing stays alive for me.” The adroit melding of art and song with quotes and poetry from those who’ve loved Canada best is enough to touch even the most hardened audience member, he says. “I don’t know how you could watch this and not be moved. It has such power.” Black’s enthusiasm is palpa-
ble. “I’m not normally a gusher, but this show is really something,” he says. “I highly recommend it to everybody.” The show starts at 7:30 p.m. this Saturday (Jan. 17), at the Charlie White Theatre at the Mary Winspear Centre, 2243 Beacon Ave. in Sidney. Tickets are $28 for adults and $16 for students, and can be purchased online at tickets.marywinspear. ca or at the centre. For more information, call 250-656-0275. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

ookies and chocolates and cheeses, oh my. The holidays are a season of indulgence and deliciousness and once they’re over, it can sometimes be hard to get healthy eating habits back on track. But it’s not impossible. It just takes a little forethought and effort, says Dr. Dana Tishenko, a naturopathic doctor with the Peninsula Naturopathic Clinic. One of the first and most important steps to take is to meal plan. “We’re too busy to think about what we want to eat if we’re starving already,” she says. “And that’s when you start grabbing those convenient foods. “Try and get at least

If you sit down and do a meal plan, then you can do a proper grocery shop, and it could be as simple as making sure you have a green vegetable at home for dinner.” And if there’s one thing Tishenko thinks everyone could have more of, it’s the greens. “Vegetables are the critical food that most people don’t get enough of.” Easing off the treats and sugar-laden foods is another top priority. Over-doing it during the holidays with decadent family recipes can create a new normal for your body that’s tricky to reset. “If you’re used to eating sugar all the time, it can be hard to adjust back to a normal diet,” says Tishenko. “And it’s in almost everything

A good rule of thumb to remember: “Things should taste as sweet as fruit, but not much sweeter than that.” Dr. Liza Austin of the Healing and Wellness Centre in North Saanich stresses the importance of getting enough water.

– Dr. Liza Austin “Especially this time of year, whether it’s teas or soups, it’s amazing how it brings the body into balance that much faster,” she says, and adds it’s a good way to avoid giving into sugar cravings as well. “When the stomach is full, it doesn’t need to reach for empty calories.”
Oatmeal with cocoa nibs, soups stocked with root vegetables and “anything green” are good places to start, says Austin. Above all, Austin says it’s important to remember to be gentle to yourself. “When we don’t get the sunlight and warmth, our bodies look for other comforts, and food is comfort,” she says. “Moderation is key. These things cannot be done overnight.” reporter@peninsula newsreview.com

Trying to get along S
omewhere, hidden in the bowels of this machine are a couple of paragraphs of marvelous gardening information and incredible advice. However, like the sunshine, they have vanished. Now I have to start all over again and it is nasty out; pouring rain and pretty chilly — probably typical January weather but I don’t like it. I have no say in the matter, however, so we have to get along with what is provided. In this case a horrible day; I can’t even see Salt Spring Island’s shape through the thick mist. I’m sitting here counting the raindrops slithering down the window, mingling with other drops until they disappear in a rush to the bottom of the glass. Talk about boring! There must be some pearls of garden wisdom I can pass on to you but it is such a horrible day it’s hard to drag them up out of the soggy soil. Let’s talk about Christmas, shall we? I hope you had a happy one! I got some nice gifts (mostly cosmetics). I suppose people are trying to hide

Over the Garden Fence the ravages of time — lotsa luck! There were also a number of gifts that deal with keeping warm: a flannel nightgown, a thick fuzzy robe, cozy slippers. I wish the family would stop babying me and let me freeze to death if I choose. There is no point in suggesting a new evening gown, some diamond earrings, the phone number of a handsome young man is there? I suppose not! Darn! Helen, please remember this is a gardening column, not a dating service! Actually I’m glad Christmas and New Year’s are over, and we can settle back with a good book, a cup of tea, a somewhat ancient almond cookie and forget the whole thing! It
Get away with a good book at the library SIDNEY — Beat the mid-winter blahs. The Adult Reading Program returns from January 17 to February 28 to help you Get Away with a Good Book at the Vancouver Island Regional Library, Sidney North Saanich branch. Join library staff on Saturday, January 17 from 2 to 3 p.m. for the Get Away with a Good Book kick-off event. Find out about the Adult Reading Program, get reading recommendations and enjoy refreshments. The Adult Reading Program is designed to mirror the longstanding Summer Reading Club program for children. Like the children’s Summer Reading Club, the Adult Reading Program features games, special events, opportunities to share book reviews and win prizes. “We hope that it will remind adults of the joy of leisure reading and encourage them to model this behaviour for children in the community,” says Library Manager, Sharon Walker. For more information visit the library online at www.virl.bc.ca or call 250-656-0944. Vancouver Island Regional Library (VIRL) is the fourth largest library system in British Columbia. They serve over 430,000 people on Vancouver Island, Haida Gwaii and Bella Coola on the Central Coast through 38 branch libraries, a virtual branch and a books-by-mail service. VIRL’s holdings number one-million and include books, magazines, CDs and DVDs. Administrative offices are located in Nanaimo. — Submitted by VIRL
was nice while it lasted but feelings get hurt (no fur coat again this year), stomachs get upset (too much fattening food), heads may be aching (too much liquid cheer), the car has a flat tire, the furnace is acting up and someone collecting money is at the door. I’m going to bed! Tomorrow is another day, and next Christmas is a mere 353 days away. Helen Lang has been the Peninsula News Review’s garden columnist for more than 30 years.
