ing on Vancouver Island 2015 Elders Gathering, hosted by the Tsawout, Tsartlip, Pauquatchin and Tseycum communities. It’s mainly a social gathering, says Mavis Underwood, but there’s more to it. “The event is a way for elders and their families to reunite with others they haven’t seen for a long time,” Underwood says. Underwood, from Tsawout, is one of the main organizers and has taken on a lead role for the community. Organizer Perry LaFortune, who made the successful bid in 2013 to bring the Elders Gathering to the Peninsula, says there’s always a political aspect to the event — from health care and recognition of wartime service, to the overall social justice movement within Canada’s aboriginal community. “It’s not supposed to be political,” adds Underwood, “but social change is always a part of our lives.” A variety of workshops will be on offer during the Gathering — discussing languages, story-telling and more. LaFortune notes there will also be a lot of outings planned, from trips up-Island to whale-watching tours. Helping reach out to local elders, potential sponsors and other partners will be Doug and Kathy LaFortune — the King and Queen of the 39th Elders Gathering. Doug says the Coast Salish tradition never saw kings and queens, calling the roles more ambassadors than royalty. The Elders Gathering will feature an elders feast on July 7 and a grand entry celebration the same day. It all takes place in the tennis facility at Panorama Recreation Centre — one of the only places big enough to host such a large group of people.

Pickleballers sour over perceived lack of respect Painting lines on tennis courts an inexpensive option but not a longterm solution Jim Zeeben News staff
Pickleballers on Saanich Peninsula say the growing popularity of their sport isn’t getting the respect it deserves. A delegation went before Town of Sidney council on June 22 suggesting that the municipality can make things right for as little as $700. However, council decided there were too many factors other than cost and offered an alternative short-term solution while promising that next year they’d look at building a court just for pickleball. “We have been asking Sidney council for three years,” said Brenda Hardy, one of the people leading the charge for pickleball on

A sign at Iroquois Park specifically prohibits pickleball on the tennis courts. the Peninsula. She says pickleballers would like to play at the tennis courts at Iroquois Park. In order to do so, they’re asking the Town to paint lines for their sport, which are different from lines used in
MAYNE ISLAND Closer than you think.
tennis. However, adding new lines would muddle the court for its intended users, says Warren Franklin, who wrote a letter to Sidney Council noting he attended the meeting “as a concerned representative
of the local tennis community.” “The effort of this group came as no surprise as they represent a new growth sport activity which has developed considerably over the past few years,” Franklin wrote. “What was surprising to me was the aggressive and dismissive manner they chose to take in their presentation. There seemed to be little appreciation for the impact on the tennis community or the Town council’s efforts to accommodate them.” Council told the pickleball delegation that the municipality didn’t see the benefit of upsetting one user group in order to appease another. Instead, council directed municipal staff to add pickleball lines and a net to an existing multi-sport court at Iroquois Park. Council also agreed to look at building a dedicated outdoor court for pickleball as part of the Parks Master Plan process, scheduled for 2016. The decision wasn’t
what Hardy wanted to hear. “When you get down to the basics of it, it makes absolutely no sense,” she said, questioning why pickleball
lines can’t be added for now and painted over when a new court is built. Instead of spending an estimated $700 to paint pickleball lines on
those two courts, she said the multi-court proposal will cost taxpayers $25,000. Please see: Pickleball players currently, page 8

Welcome the Elders

ommunities on the Saanich Peninsula welcome an estimated two thousand First Nations elders from across British Columbia, Alberta and Washington State next week for the 39th Elders Gathering. It’s a celebration of elders from various First Nations communities and is being hosted by the four area Nations ‚ the Tsawout, Tseycum, Pauquachin and Tsartlip. The Gathering is held as a way for people to connect, to share experiences and knowledge — and to enjoy themselves. The three-day event, hosted up at Panorama Recreation Centre, also includes a variety of workshops and It’s a celebration activities at various around the of First Nations locations Peninsula. culture and It’s a celebration of First Nations culture heritage and heritage and as the organizers have described, a way for different communities to make connections, learn from each other and build lasting relationships once the elders and their hundreds of family members and caregivers have left the Peninsula. Organizer Perry LaFortune has said the Elders Gathering is a great opportunity for the people of Sidney, Central Saanich and North Saanich to get to know their neighbours better — and viceversa. The event promises to keep local hotels, businesses and tourism attractions full, as many of the Gathering attendees will be using the opportunity to see the sights and weave it into an extended vacation. That’s a great place to start building the relationship — and it behooves everyone on the Peninsula and around Greater Victoria to embrace it. For far too long, there have been real or imagined divides between communities. It sometimes takes events like this to help break down barriers and demonstrate to each other just how valuable a strong relationship can be — not just one that benefits the local economy, but for the future. A region that embraces all manner of its culture and its people can only grow stronger. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@peninsulanewsreview.com or fax 250-656-5526.

Shopping local whenever possible For me shopping locally is the only sensible thing to do. It saves me time & gasoline and is less hassle and inconvenience when it comes to searching for and the expense of parking in Victoria. Unless I need a rare/obscure item, I can find it locally. Unlike the internet, local shops don’t take me an hour to navigate and use the online pay services. Also, unlike the internet, I can touch, smell, hear and taste the item before I buy. When considering shopping local, I can phone first, then run out and grab something quickly and conveniently. It’s also good to get to know the owner of a local stores — who will often bring in an item just for me. I am so grateful for local businesses to be there, so I use them whenever possible.

Where is the mayor’s affordable housing plan? When the article featuring John Juricic’s comments was printed in June, supporters of North Saanich Mayor Alice Finall mounted the ramparts, pulled up the drawbridge and lit the fire under the oil, with the rallying cry, “The workforce wants in.” Two letter writers told the employees of the airport industrial lands that they should live elsewhere and commute to North Saanich for work. Such imperious

comments were commonplace 300 years ago and are reminiscent of “Let them eat cake.” These writers ignore, or are willfully ignorant of, the impact on climate change directly attributable to the vehicular commuter, or perhaps they simply don’t care. They have made it clear that they don’t want workforce housing here in their community. A new motto for these writers might be, “Let them eat carbon.” Springfield Harrison made the claim in his letter that Finall and her cohorts on council last term tried seven times to bring forward an affordable housing bylaw but were
denied by council majority. Let us be clear, Mayor Finall has total control over council agenda. She can bring forward any item at any time. Her proposal, if she in fact has one, has surely been maturing for over three years now and I can think of no reason for the mayor not to table it. Unless the tabling of such a proposal, once passed, might leave her painted into a corner. By that I mean, once North Saanich has an affordable housing bylaw, then developers and would be home owners will be at their door seeking rezoning approvals for more affordable housing options. Talk is cheap. Let’s stop beating around the bush and call for Mayor Finall’s affordable housing proposal to be tabled immediately. That is, if such a proposal actually exists and is not a stall tactic. John Upward North Saanich
Hit ‘em where it hurts When I fist lost my vision in 2013 and moved to Sidney, I found the local merchants to be extremely helpful — and while there are some specific ones, others were too, and they are all too numerous to mention. The merchants in Sidney have given me so much support and have made it possible for me to continue to stay independent. I am so grateful to them. I have never experienced such kindness and understanding in the past. Helen Martin Sidney

Sidney Poker Run welcomes all boats with two routes Steven Heywood News staff
A poker run for boats is back this summer. The Sidney Poker Run will take place Saturday, Aug. 15 out of the Port of Sidney Marina and organizers say they are welcoming all boat and boat owners — whether they have a skiff, a runabout, a cruiser, a fishing boat or a 60-foot yacht. “It’s not a race, says one of the event organizers, Dale Backhaus. “We have a long and a short course so as many people who want to take part, can.” The Sidney Poker Run is a revival of the Vancouver Island Poker Run, which had been held out of Sidney until five years ago. That event had started in approximately 2000. ”It’s been renamed, has a new look and new logos and it’s open to a lot more boats,” said organizer Debbie Tracz. A new non-profit society was formed
back in January as organizers felt it was time to bring the fun back to the boating community. The Sidney Poker Run is definitely a social event for area boat owners — and it also raises money for the Sidney Lions Food Bank and the Saanich Marine Search and Rescue Society. “It’s going to be a ton of fun,” said Tracz. “It’s a full day on the water.” Following a captain’s safety meeting, the poker run starts at 9:30 a.m. off Sidney’s Bevan Pier. Backhaus said they are hoping to have a lot of vessels on the water that day. The long course is 88 miles and the short, 30 miles, with stops at various Gulf islands. Boaters will pick up their cards (or pick them up back on land afterwards). There’s a lunch stop for all vessels, no matter which course they chose to take, at Mill Bay Marina. And whoever has the best poker hand at the end
of the day wins the grand prize of $1,000. There’s a dinner and dance at the Mary Winspear Centre that night, with raffles and live music, and organizers say there will be local owners and boaters from Washington State here for the event. “We’ve had a lot of support from the Town of Sidney and many others,” said organizer Dawn Attwood, noting the Sidney fire depart-
ment has plans to be on the waterfront to help start the poker run. The group is still looking for event sponsors and registrations are still being taken for poker run participants. “At the end of the day,” said Backhaus, “We want to have some fun and help out those local charities.” To register or to find out more information, visit sidneypokerrun. ca.

For now, the approximately 300 pickleball players on the Saanich Peninsula will have to stick to playing indoors, at facilities such as Greenglade Community Centre, or on the outdoor courts at Parkland Secondary School. But Hardy says those courts are in rough shape and are not available when school is in session. In North Saanich, the municipality has promised to add lines for pickleball to its tennis courts, located behind the firehall on Wain Road. That work is expected to be done by the end of summer. editor@peninsula newsreview.com
being underutilized. To prove that point, Hardy said one pickleball player took it upon himself to track how often the tennis courts were used at Iroquois Park. In May, he went to the courts 10 times a day for 10 days and recorded any activity taking place. “In total, he went and checked them 151 times,” Hardy said. “Guess how many times in 151 cases that both courts were in use? Zero!” However, Franklin, the tennis advocate, said the informal report is flawed as it doesn’t consider how busy indoor courts were during the same time. He pointed out that, though the weather was unseasonably warm in May, people already had time booked and paid for on indoor courts. “The bottom line is

Local pickleball enthusiast Brenda Hardy says the sport has been described as “a mash up of badminton, ping pong and tennis.” Players bat a Wiffle ball using oversized table tennis racquets. The court is about the size of a double badminton court and the net is the same as what’s used in regular tennis. The sport is especially popular with seniors who have lost some of the mobility needed for other racquet sports. “It’s still fun, it’s still active but you don’t have to cover as much ground as tennis,” Hardy said.

organization funded by auto insurers. The goal is to reduce injuries and fatalities (on U.S. roads and highways), but its powerful research has an impact worldwide, no pun intended. The tour was truly a revelation and demonstrated well how most of today’s cars come through rigorous impact tests with good marks and those that don’t soon get a fix. We were hosted by Subaru Canada, which has much to boast about, though it was restrained in blowing its own trumpet on location. All Subaru models have been named IIHS “Top Safety Picks” for six years running. And that’s some feat: to qualify as a 2015 Top Safety Pick, a vehicle must earn ‘good’ ratings in the moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests, as well as a ‘good’ or ‘acceptable’ rating in the small overlap front test. Subaru is excited that its optional ‘Eyesight’ system has earned the top IIHS rating of Superior for front crash protection. According to Subaru Canada, the company expects the percentage of buyers opting for Eyesight to increase from the current 19 per cent to 30 per cent by the end of the 2016 model year. The Eyesight system detects obstacles and is capable of bringing a vehicle to a complete stop at speeds up to 50 km/h. By the way, for those concerned about crash test dummy cruelty, Raul Arbelaez, vice president of operations for the IIHS, says: “Our dummies aren’t getting as hurt as much they used to. We don’t have to replace as many rib cages anymore.”

Youngsters fear other drivers more than death By Keith Morgan
Public speaking just lost the top spot as the most feared task for the young generation. Distracted, dangerous drivers are now their first concern, new research funded by Ford finds. Generation Z consumers are more afraid of other motorists driving dangerously than death, public speaking, spiders and snakes, according to independent research company Penn Schoen Berland. Top fears for Millennials and members of Generation Z: • Other motorists driving dangerously (88 percent) • Public speaking (75 percent) • Death (74 percent) • Spiders (69 percent) • Snakes (69 percent) “Younger generations are growing up with different fears than their parents or grandparents,” said Kevin Shkolnik, vice president, Penn Schoen Berland. “Younger drivers are worried about distracted drivers, but they think technology isn’t just the problem, it’s also the solution, as we are seeing growing demand for driver-assistance technologies.”
The most worrisome driving situations among survey respondents include: • Snowy or icy roads (79 percent) • Manoeuvring into a tight parking spot (75 percent) • Backing out onto a busy street (74 percent) • Monitoring blind spots (70 percent) • Not knowing where I’m going (69 percent) Penn Schoen Berland conducted the poll on behalf of Ford Motor Company, surveying 1,000, Generation Z (ages 16-22) and Generation Y (ages 23-34). The online survey was conducted between April 29 and May 4, 2015; the margin of error is +/- 3.1 percent. Ford says the new research validates its decision to offer technologies that will help drivers with common driving

concerns. Ford has now announced it will migrate driver-assist technologies across its product lineup over the next five years. “Research like this is important to Ford and other automotive brands because it informs us about the situations that cause consumers the most stress,” said Crystal Worthem, Ford brand marketing manager. “As driver distraction and safety conversations have broadened, we are seeing what technology will help customers tackle their greatest fears.” The research shows 65 percent of respondents are more likely to purchase a vehicle if it has technology to help with parallel parking. Of those polled, 62 percent want technology to detect objects in blind spots.

Reunion organizer searching for Stelly’s grads from ‘95 Steven Heywood News staff
There was no class reunion for Stelly’s Secondary School graduates from 1995, so Isla Kiland wants to make sure the 2oth anniversary of that event does not pass without one. Kiland, who is a grad from that year and who now lives on a farm in Saskatchewan, is looking for other people who earned their Dogwood diplomas 20 years ago from Stelly’s. She started organizing a reunion party last summer and set the date of Saturday, July 25 for the reunion at a venue close to the high school. The hardest part of
this, she admitted, was finding as many people from that grad class as she can. She said she’s turned to Facebook and other web searches to help, starting with the names of her classmates from the school yearbook. ”It’s just amazing
w h e r e some of the people we all graduated with ended up. There’s some in China and other places overseas.” She hopes a call out in the local paper might
also help bring people home this summer. “I would feel terrible if anyone was missed.” Kiland said she arranged for the Grad ‘95 emcees to return to the stage — Stuart Adank and Nicki Cox. They lead the event that starts at 6 p.m. with a buffet dinner. Kiland said the reunion events start at 4 p.m. and the children of grads are, of course, welcome. Evening events include a slideshow, open mic, a professional photo booth and more. Kiland added she is also seeking local businesses as sponsors or supporters. Already, she said, she received an anonymous $2,000
donation. “I am so very grateful for this incredibly generous act of kindness which was used to help lower the ticket prices
for attendees,” she said. “I have enjoyed the organizing process and think it will be fun to get our class together again for an evening, 20
years later.” For more information on the event and how tickets can be purchased, email, islakiland@yahoo.com.
Backdoor thieves steal jewelry from two homes SIDNEY — Two homes in Sidney were broken into sometime overnight on June 28. In both cases, the residents were away and entry was gained through the back door. Sidney North Saanich RCMP say the method
used to open the door likely caused considerable noise. Police believe the same person or group of people are behind both incidents. Jewelry was the target in both thefts. RCMP said the inci-
dents are a reminder to be mindful of your neighbourhood, and to report any unusual activity such as loud banging, glass breaking or suspicious people in the area. Also, remember to lock all doors and keep valuables in a
secure location. — Sidney North Saanich RCMP

Peninsula Power at provincials NORTH SAANICH — The 2015 Peninsula Power Under 16 C girls fastball team has won their district championship and are off to provincials this weekend. The Districts were played out June 12 to 14 at Lake Hill and saw the Peninsula squad, which had finished in a three-way tie for first place with Sooke and Central Saanich, out score their opponents 64-14 over four games to go undefeated. Peninsula started off with a huge win over Duncan - Marsh on June 12 and then faced a very determined Carnarvan squad the following morning. Those two wins set the stage for a match up with Sooke in the A pool final June 14. Rachel Simpson and Sarah Balderson

The Peninsula Power U16C team is in Kamloops this weekend. combined for seven innings on the mound and allowing only two runs in a 4-2 victory. This earned the squad a berth in the final against Central Saanich. Peninsula proved to be too much. Simpson started the final and left after three innings with an 8-6 lead. Balderson came on in the fourth, allowing only one run in front of some stellar defense. Peninsula’s hot bats took over in
the sixth inning, running the score to 16-7. The game was called due to the run differential rule. The team saw some solid hitting by Alana Dalziel, Milly Cairns, Mackenzie Valgardson, Mykayla Day, Jillian Lawes and Kylie Antrobus. Peninsula, which plays out of Rotary Park in North Saanich, will represent the Capital Region at the Provincials in Kamloops, July 3 to 5. — Submitted

The Cullen clan, Rees, Max and Jake (from left) have been making their mark with the Junior A Shamrocks lacrosse team.
Cullen clan a fixture on Jr. Shamrocks Saanich Peninsula cousins are building a legacy Tim Collins News contributor
Royal Roads is celebrating 75 years of changing lives. Share your story at changinglives.royalroads.ca
For fans attending the Junior A Shamrock games in 2015, a certain level of confusion might be forgivable as the Cullen clan takes their place on the field of play. Max Cullen is joined on the Junior A squad by his two cousins, Jake and Rees. “It’s really pretty neat that we’re all on the same team,” said Max. “Jake and I have played together our whole lives, but this is the first time that Rees has been able to make the same team ... so having the three of us together is great.” Max and Jake, both 20 years old, are in their third and final year on the Junior A team where players may only play for three seasons. But with the addition of Rees to the team in his first year of
play, the Cullen legacy will live on ... at least for a few more years. As one might imagine, lacrosse is in the Cullen DNA. “All of our dads played,” said Rees, “and my Uncle Paul played for the senior Shamrock squad when he was younger ... so I guess you could say it’s in our blood.” All three of the Cullen boys hope to graduate to the senior Shamrocks squad when its time, but Max acknowledges that it’s also possible that any one of them might be drafted by one of the other senior teams. “I’ve had the chance to play with the senior (Shamrocks) team a few times when they were short players and called me up for a few games,” said Max. “It was an amazing experience. “You grow up watching these guys play,” he said, “and you

really become part of the team as a fan. Then one day you’re out there playing as part of the team. It’s hard to describe how great that is.” All three Cullen boys stress that a major attraction to the game has always been the high level of competition. “I’ve been playing for 13 years now and the teams have always been really close,” said Jake. “Even now, there are about five teams at our level (Junior A) who are very close — very competitive. It’s a great game to come out and watch — always exciting. And just to ensure that the legacy continues, there’s another Cullen in the wings. Guy Cullen also plays lacrosse for the squad at an intermediate level. According to the family, they expect him on the Junior A team before his career is done. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Make your moving day smooth Tips on how to ensure a stressfree move
M
oving can be a real headache. For one, it requires a lot of planning: finding a mover, sorting your personal belongings and coordinating the timing of the move. Then, there is the constant worry of whether your belongings are safe as they get packed away, loaded up and moved to your new home. A lot can go wrong, but by following simple tips, you can minimize the worry. • Choose your mover wisely. Choosing a mover based on price alone is a big mistake. You want someone you can trust with all of your personal belongings. Be diligent: ask around for recommendations from friends or family and look for accreditation with the Better Business Bureau. • Sort out your insurance needs. James Hall, an insurance expert with Western Financial Group, suggests you contact your broker at least a couple of weeks in advance to discuss
your insurance needs. Contacting your broker ahead of time will ensure your items are protected during transport and that you have coverage in place for your new home the moment you take possession. A broker can identify whether your existing policy covers the contents of your home while they are in transit or if you should consider purchasing additional insurance from the moving company. “Just remember that not all moving companies offer insurance with full replacement protection,” Hall says. “That means you will only get a certain percentage of the value of your possessions should they be damaged during the move.” • Start packing early. Getting organized ahead of time will save you a lot of hassle come moving day. If you decide to pack boxes yourself, start with items that you don’t often use. It’s also a good idea to build an inventory of boxes and other loose items or furniture to make sure that everything transported by the mover arrives. Once boxes are full, be sure to label the outside with its contents, indicate whether they are
fragile and write which room the box should be placed in at the new location. • Make arrangements at the new home. Depending on the type of residence you are moving to, you may need to arrange parking for the moving truck. If you are moving to an apartment, notify your landlord of the expected arrival time of the moving truck and book the elevator in the apartment building. • Keep valuables close. Family heirlooms, important documents, jewelry, laptop computers and other expensive items should stay under your watchful eye. Rather than packing them into a box with other contents, keep them with you in the vehicle you will be travelling in. • Double check all spaces. Once the moving truck is ready to roll, do a thorough walkthrough of your old residence to ensure nothing has been missed. Check drawers, closets, crawl spaces and any other concealed spaces. For details on insuring property for an upcoming move, contact your local insurance broker. — News Canada
