NORTH SAANICH — Vehicle access to Dean Park was closed as of July 9, in the wake of local fire hazard fears. According to an email from B.C. Parks staff, the hiking trails will remain open. Signage will be posted on the gate. Parking adjacent to John Dean Park may be a concern, stated B.C. Parks, during the temporary access closure. In an email to the PNR, resident Virginia Rouslin noted people have found discarded cigarette butts in the park, raising local fears of a possible wildfire, or the danger of a forest fire in the area. — News staff

Mark Loria’s isn’t an oceanographer. Nor is his educational background in natural science. But that doesn’t mean for a moment that Loria is anything but the correct choice as the new executive director of the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre. “I fell in love with the Centre as a long time visitor,” said Loria. “I would bring my children here to see the exhibits and learn about the natural wonders that lie just under the surface of the Salish Sea.” In fact, Loria’s unique blend of experience in business management, fundraising and not-forprofit leadership has more than equipped him for the challenges that go along with his new role. Before coming to the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre in April to assume the role as the Centre’s Development Director, Loria worked as the Director of Development at the Victoria Conservatory of Music and the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria. Prior to that, Loria worked in similar roles for a theatre company in Vancouver (Arts Club Theatre) and the Institute of Modern Art in Brisbane, Australia. “Mark brings extensive knowledge of notfor-profit management in the cultural sector specializing in partnerships, membership and visitor experience,” says Colleen Craig, Board President for the Discovery Centre. And building memberships, according to Loria, is a fundamental challenge that needs to be met. “We will be looking at some changes to enhance the visitor experience and make the Centre a place that

“We will look at some changes to enhance the visitor experience.” – Mark loria people will want to visit again and again,” he said. “We’ll be looking at showing (visitors) some new things ... perhaps through travelling exhibits or special events ... and these will augment our core exhibits and create an even more exciting visitor experience.” But Loria acknowledged the Centre has an important role in raising awareness and educating visitors to the Centre’s exhibits. “Of course I’m passionate about the environment,” said Loria. “But we are not an advocacy organization for any particular environmental issues, we simply bring people face to face with the exceptional marine life of the Salish Sea, in that way we’re building champions for the marine environment; people who will go out and do what they need to do to protect this resource.”

The Stelly’s X Road Trail currently doesn’t exist, but if Mayor Ryan Windsor and the Central Saanich District council have their way, that trail will be built sooner than later. “We deliberated on this on Monday evening,” said Windsor, “and there was unanimous agreement that we proceed on this project. It’s very high on our priority list.” At issue is the roadway between the District of Central Saanich and the Tsartlip First Nation. “It simply isn’t safe for pedestrians,” said Windsor. “There is a lot of fast moving traffic and the shoulders are not wide. There are also very steep ditches on either side of the roadway ... overall it’s quite dangerous.” “We were requested to review

Centre finds space for pickleballers

Like us on

Facebook

Trial run in Bodine Hall comes as lines being drawn in the courts “With the facilities we have now, and even here, there are always people waiting to play.”

Steven Heywood News staff

Just as lines were being drawn over conflicting uses of the Town of Sidney’s tennis courts, the Mary Winspear Centre has offered space for local pickleball players. Carey Salvador, marketing co-ordinator for the Mary Winspear Centre, says a group of pickleball players approached them at the end of May, looking for additional indoor space. She said they have been looking for more room to play as their regular two courts at the Greenglade Community Centre had been getting crowded. Mary Winspear Centre’s Bodine Hall has room for four courts, Salvador said, and opened it up to the sport on Tuesday, July 7 to around 25 people. She said the hall can offer space to pickleball players two days a week until August 26, when the Centre’s busy season starts to pick up. In recent months, pickleball players have been lobbying local municipal councils to paint lines on existing outdoor tennis courts to accommodate their sport. Most recently, they requested the same of the Town of Sidney at their tennis court in Iroquois Park. “We need to be able to share,” said Ron MacDonnell, one of the pickleball players working to find more outdoor places to play. The Town said it would not add lines to those courts, but add them and a net to another multi-sport court in the park. The Town also said it would include a pickleball-specific court in its Parks Master Plan

but it provides one solution, Salvador added. The drop-in sessions run between 8:30 a.m. and noon and cost $5 per drop-in or $50 for the entire session. Salvador called this a trial run and they even went out and purchased some sports equipment to ensure anyone who wants to try pickleball there can do so. The Centre and pickleball players will sit down in late August to early September, she said, to see of they’ll be able to accommodate them further. MacDonnell added while the extra indoor space provided by the Mary Winspear Centre is great, players do want to be able to get outside to play. That’s why, he said, they’re encouraging local politicians to see what their sport is all about. “It’s really growing,” he said. “With the facilities we have now, and even here, there are always people waiting to play.” As the profile of the sport grows, MacDonnell said they hope they can earn equal treatment as other activities, like tennis. “We do understand that some tennis players have an argument against (adding pickleball lines to tennis courts). But some of our players used to play tennis too. “It’s something that anyone can play.”

OUR VIEW

In a pickle over sports

idney seems to be in a dilly of a pickle over something that, on the surface, has a cheap and easy answer. Adding a little paint or some other materials for temporary lines on the municipality’s public tennis courts, to accommodate an activity called pickleball, seems to be the simplest solution. Make it a pilot or trial — a limited time to see if players of both sports can get along. At the risk of upsetting tennis players, these are public recreation facilities and should be made available to a variety of users — not unlike the road hockey games at those same tennis courts on Canada Day. With limited funds available for a One group municipality to simply new, specific-use should not win build courts for pickleball, it the day based makes more sense to on volume alone share. Despite the active pickleball community out there, it would be hard to justify a large expenditure for a single, small group. In an ideal world, with unlimited resources and space, all groups could have their own, exclusive facilities. Unfortunately, a municipality should be taking as many user groups into consideration as possible and getting the biggest bang for its buck. We agree that one group, which happens to be very vocal on their own behalf, should not win the day based on volume alone. They should, however, be given the consideration afforded any lobby group. Sidney town council has heard them, has offered to expand a single multi-sport court and may look at planning for an exclusive pickleball court well after a planned 2016 parks facility review. Not an immediate solution but it’s a start. Judging by the use of the Mary Winspear Centre’s Bodine Hall in the first week of it being offered to pickleball players, there are a lot people wanting more places to play, faced with only indoor facilities, unless they’re willing to travel elsewhere in the region. We say give the temporary lines on existing tennis courts a try, with new schedules to meet both groups’ needs. Share and share alike. What do you think?

YOUR VIEW

Thanks for your pickleball support Congrats to you for supporting pickleball by publishing the article about the lack of respect for the sport. I need to remind the tennis advocates that there are other tennis courts in and around Victoria that have pickleball lines and this has not bothered tennis players. Saying that tennis and pickleball are not compatible does not make any sense. Obviously, those advocates have not taken the time to explore the art of pickleball. Pickleball is not just sport it is a sport that requires strategy, flexibility, timing and skills that require practice, for example, the placement and short dink shots. Hopefully, you will continue writing articles on pickleball and dedicate a column. There are tournaments and social gatherings your viewers would be interested in. By the way, pickleball nationals are being hosted in Kelowna July 10, 11 and 12 and there will be approximately 200 players from B.C. Anna Scheffer Saanichton

read “Pickleball Enhanced.” It isn’t just a sport on the rise — it has arrived. I have been a tennis player my whole life and have pretty much made the switch to this very social and fitness enhancing activity. We are simply asking to have pickleball lines added to our existing tennis courts at a minimal cost. It does nothing to damage the courts for the game of tennis. I play both sports on these dual courts. I don’t understand why a few ten-

nis players are so threatened by this. A recent survey demonstrated that both the indoor and outdoor tennis courts were grossly underutilized. It was decided at a recent council meeting that they would rather spend $25,000 on a new court than around $700 to add the lines. The fact is that we are all taxpayers and these courts that we all pay for should be shared. Shelley Burkett North Saanich

Find savings by sharing the tennis courts Its interesting to see that areas such as Honeymoon Bay, Salt Spring Island, Sannich and many others in the tennis world have tennis and pickleball lines on the same court. When you think of mixed courts you think of school gyms that most of us played on, where there was basketball, badminton, volleyball, tennis and floor hockey and the multitude of lines that never seemed to cause any problems. You have to wonder why the two groups can’t share facilities and avoid the cost of dedicated facilities for each group, especially when they are not being fully utilized. Just think of the savings to the Town of Sidney by sharing facilities. Frank Thompson Sidney

mong the world’s developed economies, Canada currently ranks third best in having the lowest poverty rate among seniors. By this measure, “poverty rate” is defined as the proportion of individuals over age 65 whose disposable income is less than 50 per cent of the country’s median income. Behind this glowing statistic however, is the fact that in Canada, the poverty rate has increased in the past 20 years, from 2.9 per cent of seniors, to its current level of 6.7 per cent. The trend line is cause for concern, especially given that by 2030 our proportion of seniors is projected to mushroom to 23 per cent of our entire population. Coincident with this negative trend is another disturbing parallel. Significantly depressing their standard of living are increasing numbers of seniors retiring with debt, or adding to it, even during retirement. Statistics Canada reports that since 2012, the number of seniors carrying debt has increased by a shocking 40 per cent. The Credit Counselling Society of Canada reports that the number of requests for assistance from those over age 55 has increased 400 per cent in just 15 years. We often use the terms “Good Debt” and “Bad Debt,” with the former referring primarily to mortgages and education loans. For seniors however, there is clearly no such thing as “good” debt. For a retiree, any form of debt creates a

Tom said that he has long been concerned for the safety of students walking home from school and has had particular concern for the elderly residents who are forced to walk along the roadway. “It’s dangerous and this walkway will help to address this very real safety concern.” As to the desire of Central Saanich to include the Tsartlip as full partners in the project’s planning, Tom said that he is very pleased. “I’m very excited for this partnership,” he said. “It’s a great step forward to be working together in an equal footing ... a real partnership.” Although the planning process is in its infancy, Windsor said he isn’t planning to wait too long to bring the project to fruition. “I’d really like to see this buttoned up this year,” he said. “We have always been linked with the Tsartlip in spirit, and this trail will provide a physical link. It’s good for everyone.” editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Folksinger, historian and author Tim Rogers has published a new book about the SS Southern Cross.

Tim Rogers performance July 16 is in support of local Literary Festival Tim Collins News contributor

A unique multimedia presentation by local author, folksinger and historian, Tim Rogers will be presented at the SHOAL Centre auditorium Thursday, July 16 in support of the Sidney and Peninsula Literary Festival. The presentation revolves around Rogers’ new book The Mystery of the SS Southern Cross. “I was a professor at the University of Calgary ... and while I was there I came across this fascinating story,” said Rogers. “It stuck in my consciousness and then, one year, when I was doing a sabbatical in Newfoundland, I was drawn to doing more research. The more I learned, the more I became intrigued and wanted to write about what had really happened to the Southern Cross.” Rogers said he came across several ballads about the sealing ship’s disappearance and further researched the 1914 disaster in which 173 souls were lost, apparently without any reasonable explanation. “She just disap-

peared at the time. It was a devastating loss to the community. “When I first started researching the story, though, I was inclined to shift into a sort of conspiracy mode ... think that it was a massive cover-up. There was just so little information recorded. “But then I slowly discovered that the truth was that people in Newfoundland at the time just didn’t want to talk about it, so there was a gap in the record.” Rogers said the actual story is quite compelling and he can understand the reticence of the people at the time to talk about or even think about it very much. “The truth is that it’s a story of greed and human frailty,” said Rogers. “It’s about people overreaching themselves in the pursuit of money and fame ... and the disaster that can come of that pursuit.” Rogers first recounted his findings about the Southern Cross in a series of academic articles but was dissatisfied with the result. “Academic writing is very different from literary writing,” he explained. “I found that

I wasn’t able to tell the real story ... the human side of the event. And that was the important bit.” Rogers began working on the fictionalized account of the story when he retired from academia some 10 years ago. “It’s a true account in most ways, but I’ve

been able to incorporate the human factor.” But the writing of the story in this style took some doing. “The first thing I needed to do was learn how to write in the way I needed to write ... not the academic style that I’d always used. It was quite a journey of learning in itself.”

The net result, however, is a fascinating account of pre-First World War Newfoundland. The event at the SHOAL Centre, however, will go beyond readings from the book. PLEASE SEE: Folk music a social magic, page 16

Eisworth and McDonnell re-tell the story of Jake Elwood through classic songs and acts from the film such as Soul Man, Sweet Home Chicago, Rawhide and Flip Flop Fly. “From country, to rhythm and blues, soul and rock and roll, this show has it all,” said Eisworth. “After Sidney, we head back to the mainland for shows in New Westminster, White Rock and Langley before we play a couple of shows in the interior,” he said about the group’s busy schedule.

Projected images will set the tone and Rogers has also incorporated his love of folk music to present some of the ballads of the time; ballads that were written to mark this, the greatest tragedy ever to befall the sealing industry. “I’ve been performing in Sidney and elsewhere for a while now and find that the music is really integral to telling the story,” said Rogers. He added folk music is a sort of social magic that tells not only a story, but immerses the listener into the reality of a place and its people. The July 16 event will kick off at 7 pm. The $10 tickets are available at Tanner’s Books in Sidney and Munro’s Books in Victoria. Proceeds support the Sidney and Peninsula Literary Festival, set for October, 2015.

Good hearing but trouble with conversation? A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out. A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis. Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then quiet sounds are no longer naturally

Rosemary Coss calls the last 10 years of her working career “awesome,” and she’s looking forward to another decade. Coss recently celebrated her 10th anniversary working with Holy Cow Communication Design Inc. and the company held an intimate party in their Beacon Avenue office. She said she had worked, off and on, with owners Ken and Julie Coward for quite a few years before the chance came to join them. “We had an opportunity to work together 10 years ago and I became part of Holy Cow then and have been here for a good portion of their existence.” Holy Cow opened for business 17 years ago, making Coss one of their longest-serving employees. “It’s become like a small family here.” Coss says she enjoys her work with the ‘nimble’ Sidney company, adding she enjoys the close relationships they can build with their clients. Holy Cow is also involved with the community, she says, and some of her favourite activities include their annual Christmas card program. They ask clients, via Facebook, to offer seasonal messages for cards Holy Cow delivers to residents of extended care at the Saanich Peninsula Hospital. Coss says she also enjoyed teaming up with Island Farms, one of their clients, to hand out bags of goodies to local Scouts who were singing carols at the hospital this past December.

“We’ll Get You Going!”

The elders were here to take part in a variety of workshops, health care activities and clinics, education, crafts and fitness. It was also a large social gathering. Chair of the organizing committee Perry Lafortune has said for many of the elders, the event will be rolled into their summer vacation. He added there were excursions and activities planned for the elders, their families and caregivers through the Capital Region. “We have to value our elders,” said Chief Vern Jacks (Tseycum) during the grand entry ceremony, “and talk to them with our hearts. To our visitors, First Nations and especially to those here who are non-First Nations, you have lots to learn from us. We really do respect one another.” “It’s a great day to be alive,” said Chief Don Tom (Tsartlip), welcoming the thousands of elders and approximately 500 volunteers who will be working over the three days. The arenas and parking area at Panorama Recreation Centre were filled to capacity with dining areas, First Nations arts and crafts displays and booths, a vendors area and a main hall (tennis facility) that hosted a variety of speeches, events and entertainment in the evenings. Off site workshops took place at Kelset School, across from Panorama.

A tour of the auditory system

Unplug, Unwind & Come Play!

The auditory system can be divided into three parts: the outer ear, the middle ear and the inner ear. The outer ear consists of the pinna (the part of the ear that is visible) and the ear canal. The pinna helps to amplify sound by funnelling it towards the ear canal. The middle ear begins at the tympanic membrane, more commonly known as the ear drum. Sound vibrations are transferred from the ear drum to the three bones of the middle ear – the malleus, incus and stapes which are aligned in a chain. This chain is attached to the entrance of the inner ear. The inner ear includes the cochlea - which is a fluid-filled, snail-shaped organ - and the auditory nerve. The back and forth movement of the middle-ear bones creates pressure waves that travel through the fluid of the cochlea. Inside the cochlea there are two kinds of hair cells, the inner hair cells send impulses via the auditory nerve to our brain that we interpret as sound and the outer hair cells help to fine tune our ability to hear subtle differences in speech sounds. The hearing pathway is very complex but also very fascinating!

Every weekday evening from 5:30-8:30pm beginning July 2nd, Panorama staff will facilitate fun for the whole family through interactive play, face painting, group games, and of course, inflatable fun on our giant 50’ obstacle course!

DEATHS

Kenneth George McIntosh (Macky) June 29, 1948 - June 24, 2015 Ken passed away peacefully at St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital in Comox with his family by his side. After battling Diabetes which included a long fight with infections plus amputation of his leg and then the onset of cancer. He fought a hard fight but his heart finally failed him. Ken was born and raised in Sidney, BC, son of George (Red) McIntosh (predeceased) and Louise who passed away on June 28 2015, his brother Dale (predeceased) and his sister June (Beattie), nieces and nephew who are in Kamloops. Educated on Vancouver Island, he became a journeyman carpenter where he honed his skills with Campbell Construction of Victoria. Moving on, he advanced his own construction company in Sidney, until moving his family to the mainland in 1980. After a number of ventures, he settled on structural concrete forming placement where he was instrumental in the erection of over 50 high-rises in downtown Vancouver. The years of stress spurred him to semi-retire which didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last long as there was always a new venture. He found his niche in the manufacturing end of the gutter business, where he excelled in the upgrading of the machinery and production of many new products. In 2011 he finally retired and returned to the island settling in Courtenay where he planned to spend all his time fishing and hunting with his friends and family and enjoying the outdoors he loved. Ken is survived by his two sons Stephen (Kerry) grandchildren Levi, Ryder and Sydney of Langley and Duane of Penticton, also by his sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother Sandra of Penticton. Ken has always been a fun loving guy and will be truly missed by all of us. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to your charity of choice. There will be a Celebration of Life held on August 13, 2015 at 1:00pm held at 24532 87th Avenue, Langley, BC. Arrangements are in care of Toneff Funeral Services.
