Sidney Gateway plans back before the public and municipality as Victoria Airport Authority ramps up Steven Heywood News staff

Extending the look and feel of Sidney’s downtown shopping experience is part of the vision for the Victoria Airport Authority’s proposed retail development at the western corner of Beacon Avenue and the Pat Bay Highway. The VAA revealed last Thursday its revised plans for the site, redesigned following public open houses and an online survey held in July exactly one year ago. VAA has entered into an exclusive agreement with the development company Omicron, to design the site and help seek out potential tenants for the esti“We want this to mated 10 retail buildings proposed for 10-acre site.

While Omicron has been seeking – James Bogusz out potential tenants, none can be be announced until they are formally signed once the project gets through a variety of local and provincial regulatory steps. Those include municipal zoning and official community plan amendments, approval of the roadway plans by the Ministry of Transportation and Highways and the removal of land from the provincial Agricultural Land Reserve. James Bogusz, VAA vice-president of operations and development said the airport authority doesn’t technically have to adhere to ALR rules, as it’s a federal property. However, he said they want to act in good faith and give topsoil removed from the site during construction to area farmers. Preliminary plans for the site show a re-alignment of Stirling Way, making it connect to Beacon Avenue West via a roundabout at Galaran Road.

Tip of the Peninsula Sidney moving ahead on pickleball

SIDNEY — Pickleball fans in Sidney will soon have an outdoor court to call their own — at least when it’s not being used for ball hockey, lacrosse or basketball. The Town of Sidney has approved a budget of $25,000 to repaint and fence the multisport court at Iroquois Park. The lines are expected to be painted within the next few weeks and the municipality is in the process of getting quotes for an eight-foot fence that will eventually surround the court. Council has also agreed to look at building dedicated outdoor courts for pickleball at Tulista Park as part of the Parks Master Plan process, scheduled for 2016. — News staff

Steven Heywood/News staff

Sidney firefighters Lieutenant Richard Toogood, left, and Assistant Chief Hank Michno were recently given Vital Link awards by the B.C. Ambulance Service for their roles in saving the life of a woman in medical distress at Sidney’s Star Cinema.

Vital links in the community Sidney firefighters helped save a life and they say it’s all in a day’s work Steven Heywood News staff

Hank Michno and Richard Toogood are quick to point out that had any of the firefighters in Sidney been called to a medical situation like they had, it could have been them standing with a couple of awards for saving a life. It just so happened that it was them. On Mother’s Day — Sun-

day, May 10 — both Toogood and Michno responded to a page for a report of a person who had collapsed at the Star Cinema on Third Street in Sidney, which is right across the street from the fire hall. The pair just happened to be the closest to the scene. Michno, an assistant chief, said they raced to the hall, picked up their gear and the two of them went across the street.

“It was a dark place at the time,” sad Toogood, a lieutenant. “The movie was off and the person’s family was there.” As they were heading into the theatre, Michno said a second call came in, telling them that there was no ambulance available at that moment and that the patient may be suffering from cardiac arrest. Once inside, they found the patient in the aisle and the RCMP controlling the scene.

For the firefighters, adrenaline kicked in. “Our training took over,” Michno said. “The patient had no pulse so I started CPR and Rick got the AED ready.” That device — an Automatic External Debifrillator — was brand new and this was its first test, Toogood added.

suffering from cardiac arrest. “On scene, the patient regained a functional pulse and was transported directly to the (Royal Jubilee Hospital) cardiac catheterization lab. “(The patient) is doing well and is expected to be discharged from hospital very soon. “Unfortunately not every resuscitation attempt is successful but there is no doubt that without the prompt and professional action taken by our crew, this patient’s outcome would not (be so) positive.”

Brigham Smith, unit chief at Station 106 of the B.C. Ambulance Service, presented Toogood and Michno with their Vital Link awards earlier this month, which recognize the service provided by those outside of the BCAS to save lives. For Michno and Toogood, the award is nice, but they say they are more pleased that the woman will survive — adding that their training, and that of every local firefighter, is designed to help the community in general. “This is what we do,” Michno said.

VAA wants plans in front of the community Continued from page 1

That would mean a portion of VAA’s Flight Path multi-use trail would also have to be moved. Another two access points to the site are included along Beacon Avenue. Design plans, which VAA and Omicron say will change as they continue to seek out public input, include green space, a pedestrian plaza and a rain water detention pond. The buildings proposed for the plazastyle development would be single storey structures, apart from a possible mezzanine area in the grocery store building. That is, said Laughlin, in line with building anything close to an airport. Planned signage for the site would include wayfinding signs further north up the Pat Bay Highway. Laughlin said this would benefit both the new retail area and the rest of downtown Sidney. Bogusz said the goal at the moment is to get the plans in front of the community for their response. VAA is keen on earning buy-in from the community and is also hoping the Sidney Gateway project will be able to join the Sidney Business Improvement Area Society. “We want this to be part of the whole (downtown) area — to include this in Sidney’s Beacon Avenue experience.” Sidney Mayor Steve Price says council wants to hear what people think about the proposal. Price was mum on details of the project shared between the VAA and the municipality. “We respect VAA’s

Omicron’s Peter Laughlin, from left, Victoria Airport Authority President and CEO Geoff Dickson and James Bogusz, VAA vice-president of operations and development, look over the preliminary drawing (below) of the proposed 100,000 square-foot Sidney Gateway commercial retail project.

“We respect VAA’s effort to work closely with the community. It shows the respect they have for the area’s residents.” – Steve Price sought to develop the 10-acre site south of Beacon Avenue West, between the highway and Galaran Road. Then-Mayor Larry Cross said he wanted to see a portion of the land used for a tourist information centre. “It’s to be the gateway to Sidney and effort to work closely with the community,” Price said. “It shows the respect they have for the area’s residents.”

the rest of the Island,” Cross said. The VAA had, following the public process last summer, hoped to get the project through the approval stages with the Town of Sidney last fall. It has taken considerably longer. Bogusz said the current plan is to present the project formally to town council on August 10 and take their land plan to Agricultural Land Commission in September — with municipal zoning and OCP amendments being sought later in the fall. Actual build out of the site could take until 2016 or longer — depending on tenants leasing space. The VAA anticipates that the proposal could go through further revision and “ebb and flow” as it proceeds through the public process within the municipality. For the VAA, President and CEO Geoff Dickson said if all goes well, they could have another developed area that helps contribute to the airport authority’s bottom line. He said the lease payments, like those in the industrial areas they control, help form a solid base of revenue that keeps their fees low. The VAA is seeking public feedback on their plans, including their application to exclude land from the ALR. More information can be found at victoria airport.com. editor@peninsula newsreview.com

OUR VIEW

Stepping through the Gateway

lenty of questions remain about the future of the 10-acre site across the Pat Bay Highway from downtown Sidney — one of those being: will the site really become an extension, physically and conceptually, of the Beacon Avenue shopping experience? The Victoria Airport Authority hopes it will, or is at least touting their proposed Sidney Gateway commercial retail development in that manner. In some ways, it’s a “build it and they will come” scenario, with something shiny and new to draw in more shoppers and visitors from the line of ferry vehicles zooming down the highway. If that happens, it would certainly benefit the rest of the businesses along Beacon Avenue. On the flip Change is coming. side, there’s a fear that the new How we react to development — like it will make all the those proposed at the Sandown difference race track in North Saanich and Central Saanich’s Jesken Centre (both of which are on hold) — could suck shoppers out of the traditional retail zone of downtown Sidney. There are arguments on both sides and it will fall to local business and political leaders to manage that and work for change that has as positive an impact as possible. Change is coming. How we react to it will make all the difference. Say what you will about the Sidney Gateway proposal, the Victoria Airport Authority has had it out in front of the community for more than a year, and promises to keep it out there longer. If people with an interest in this sort of thing do not know about it already, they aren’t paying close enough attention. In that time, the VAA has done what it said it would — revised its initial plans to accommodate people’s suggestions and rearrange the access points to the site, to prevent large traffic snarls that might result from such a large development. Now, the VAA is promising to make additional changes, as required, as they begin the formal approvals process with the Town of Sidney. Take the opportunity to weigh in. It’s right in front of us and it’s a rare opportunity to ensure the area gets what it really needs. What do you think?

King notes that the bottling plant uses less than one per cent of the flow through Kawkawa Lake: “If Nestlé stopped operating (and put its 75 employees out of work and stopped paying municipal taxes) would there be more water for the rest of us?” he writes. “Absolutely not. Kawkawa Lake drains its excess water into the Fraser River, which drains into the Strait of Georgia. Neither the Fraser River at Hope nor the Strait of Georgia is particularly short of water, even in the driest of years.” Clark made one useful contribution when asked about this urgent non-issue by those seeking to further sensationalize the current drought and forest fires. She correctly noted that most B.C. residents have access to the best tap water in the world and have no need for bottled water. Nestlé, Perrier, Coke, Pepsi and other companies have done a fantastic job of convincing people that their drinking water has to be delivered in bottles from some mythical pure source.

LETTERS Questions abound over airport retail plans

eeking increased revenue, the Victoria Airport Authority is attempting to usurp town council’s planning responsibilities via promising more trees and increased tax revenues. Coincidentally, the VAA has casually mentioned its federal lands power doesn’t really need the ALR approval but is asking for it anyway, and likely doesn’t need any advice from the little Town of Sidney but is willing to discuss its plans. What are we all here, sheep? Why does Sidney need another grocery store? Will Thrifty Foods and/or SaveOn-Foods relocate to the west of Pat Bay Highway? If not, who is coming to this food party? Why introduce a new street-level pedestrian crossing across Beacon Avenue west of Pat Bay highway? What happens to the airport access road at the entrances to

the proposed shopping area? Will there be holding lanes for left turning traffic? What happens to the current downtown vision, to the vacant stores, to the need for careful planning of the existing community? What happened to the Pat Bay Highway and Beacon Avenue interchange? Have we

lost it for the mess at the McTavish Road traffic circles? What are council’s latest plans for the skate park, the parking area, the fire hall and the intersection? Is there any thought at all or just responses to whatever is thrust upon us? Is there any planning going on at all in

the Town offices? What are the plans? Drive or walk around Sidney today and see the continued reduction of front and side yard setbacks, the crowding of dwelling units, the introduction of driveways adjacent to residential buildings, the overshadowing of others and the constant densification, all in the name of progress. Vacant spaces are everywhere in the downtown core. Sidney’s charm is fading quickly and before we know it, we will wonder how it all happened and why we never complained. Greg Stevens Sidney (Editor’s note: These and other questions can be answered by the VAA and the Town of Sidney.)

Readers respond: Diagnosing bladder cancer; airport runway flight path safety Cheap and simple test for bladder cancer Brian Williams is lucky (PNR July 15) he had blood in his urine to diagnose his bladder cancer. In my experience, that’s the only test for the disease that is taught in medical schools. Unfortunately, bladder cancer can reach the fatal stage before any blood appears in the urine. When I eventually saw a urologist after not being diagnosed by four advocates of

the blood-in-the-urine test, I was quickly diagnosed with advanced cancer through the use of cystoscopy which the urologist called a cheap and simple test. Early diagnosis using cystoscopy can allow removal of the cancer without removing the bladder and thus save the patient the nuisance and expense of living with an ostomy. Pat Carson Sidney

What happens when both parties are in reverse and they bump into each other? Well firstly, in our experience.... Both parties seem to believe they were in fact, correct. However when dealing with your insurance company, they tend to feel the need to apply blame to someone. If it happens they can find blame on two people, well then that’s all the better. More and more we are seeing customers come in that are at 50% at blame. So you’re half right technically. Don’t feel too bad.

I mean, if the pilot you fly with next gets the landing half right, I’m sure you will be just fine. ICBC makes the decision when two people are reversing that both parties are half right. Unfortunately this also means you are half wrong. It’s very difficult to ascertain fault when both people say “but I stopped just before they backed into me.” That’s balderdash.... Or something to that affect. They will apply half of your deductible and increase your rates as if it is a collision claim. That’s the deal. So just beware when you are reversing in a parking lot, if you happen to bump someone else you will then be forced to admit to your wife of your half truth. Cheers, Steve.

recent watch list reported that an average of 150 Canadian aircraft are involved in approach and landing accidents every year. Does the airport have precision approaches on all runways? Without this there is a risk of undershooting or overshooting? Could the flight paths be adjusted? According to the federal Transport Minister residents/communities should be involved in consultations and deliberations about flight paths. C.M. Louw Sidney

Learn how to install vehicle child seats properly Sidney firefighters now trained to help parents ensure their car seats are installed safely Steven Heywood News staff

Teaching parents and caregivers how to properly install child seats

in their vehicles is a new educational service being provided by members of the Sidney Fire Department. Firefighters Craig Pel-

ton, Aaron Kary and Jeff Tomlin recently went through a BCAA program designed to help them educate people about how to install

child seats safely. Now, they are offering their instruction free of charge to people who drop by the fire hall on Third Street.

They do not, they emphasize, install the seats themselves. The goal is to teach others how to do it right — so their chil-

dren ride safely — so they can take the seats out and put them back in at their convenience. Kary said the use of car seats varies widely, taking into consideration factors such as child size, weight, the type of vehicle, seat belt system, and the car seat itself — whether it is front-or-rear facing. He added it can be confusing for parents to know how to install

them and what the fire department can do is point them in the right direction and share their skills. Some of what people should know about car seats includes they must be legal in Canada, CSA approved and appropriate for the age and size of the child. To arrange a car seat lesson from the Sidney Fire Department, call 250-656-2121.

Sidney seeks designs for new skate park Steven Heywood News staff

In what could be seen as good news for people hoping to preserve skateboarding in Sidney, the town council has approved spending up to $25,000 on design work for a new skate park. The municipality will seek conceptual plans for a new facility, earmarked for Tulista Park. The existing concrete structure is located south of the Mary Winspear Centre and is visible from the Pat Bay Highway. The Town of Sidney’s plans for a large parking lot to go up in the area has put the future of the skate park in question, although Mayor Steve Price and the rest of council have

stated they want to see the facility rebuilt elsewhere. Their July 13 approval of design plans appears to back that up — although Price admitted it is early, especially since the Town has not yet heard on a grant application for the parking lot. “We had planned on doing this early,” Price said, adding letters are going out from the Town to local schools, youth groups and other links with area youth, seeking a dialogue on what a new skate park might look like. The choice of Tulista Park, Price said, focuses in on its amenities: parking, bus routes and even its distance from nearby homes, and it’s right across the street from Iroquois Park.

Councillor Barbara Fallot added the Tulista site proposal might cause some conflict with the Community Arts Council of the Saanich Peninsula, whose gallery and main office is in the park. Fallot said that organization is bursting at the seams and is hoping to expand in the future. “It’s still probably the best site (for a skate park),” Fallot said, adding she hopes the council will keep its options open as it looks to update the community’s parks master plan in 2016. “It’s a good idea to consider a new design now,” she continued. “It’s good to know what the footprint will be.” Price said even if the Town does not receive a grant to help pay for the parking lot

proposal, the municipality might still proceed. He said the project could be delayed while new sources of cash are found, or the Town could simply resurface both the existing dirt parking area and the current skate park, as it’s around 20 years old. Coun. Erin Bremner, during the July 13 meeting of council, suggested there should be a community consultation included in the design work, to occur by the end of September and into October, when youth are back in school. Sidney is looking for proposal packages from prospective companies back to town hall by August 14. Selection of a design consultant could come as early as this September.

Steven Heywood/News staff

Skate park advocates like Shawn Hefely and Diana Gough hope to ensure the survival of the facility in Sidney.

Crashes spark tour bus safety review Tom Fletcher Black Press

Locally Grown Your guide to Peninsula Locally Grown Products

A recent tour bus crash on the Coquihalla Highway that injured 30 passengers has prompted a review of motor coach safety in B.C. One likely change is the requirement for seatbelts in motor coaches, which has been adopted south of the border. A 2013 survey of motor coach operators by the B.C. Trucking Association found that most B.C. companies support mandatory seatbelts, and many have already introduced them. Announcing the safety review July 16, Transportation Minister Todd Stone referred to the June 27 collision on the Coquihalla Highway, and another on the same highway a year earlier. Stone stressed that despite those incidents, commercial vehicle crashes in B.C. have declined by 24 per cent in the past decade. Doug Switzer, CEO of national industry group Motor Coach Canada, said most safety regulations are set by the federal government, and consistent from province to province. He said the Canadian industry supports introducing seatbelts. IDE REW STO ALE31st S JULY S END on all demo & open stock Sewing, Quilting, Embroidery Machines & Sergers

RCMP remind pet owners to leave animals at home, not in cars Sidney & North Saanich

• Police are continually receiving calls about dogs being left inside vehicles. Please be aware that the inside of your vehicle can become exceptionally hot in a short period of time. Do not leave your pets in your vehicles for any period of time. • On Saturday, July 11, police responded to a domestic assault where a witness (intervener) was kicked in the stomach while attempting to separate a woman and a man. One male was arrested and held for a tele-bail hearing and subsequently released on strict non-custodial conditions pending his next appearance date.

• On Sunday, June 12 at 5:15 p.m., police received a complaint that a motorist was believed to be intoxicated based on poor driving ability. Police located the vehicle in Sidney and determined the driver was intoxicated. The driver was issued a 90 day Immediate Roadside Prohibition (IRP) and the vehicle was impounded for 30 days. • On Tuesday, July 14, police responded to a fist fight outside Save-On-Foods in Sidney.

Several infractions were detected and one impaired driver was taken off the roadway and dealt with by way of a 24 hour prohibition.

One must never give up on their garden, big or small earth can those people have been thinking? I recall something similar, although much less huge and dramatic. Years ago someone had planted a long boulevard with bright and beautiful purple crocus. They were a breath of spring and a joy to everyone, or, so I thought. A few days later I walked that way and someone, obviously angry with the world and everyone in it, had driven his car over the whole length of the boulevard, destroying those lovely blossoms. Why?

A utility pole in the middle of White Birch Road caught the attention of a Sidney resident who called the News Review to find out what was going on. B.C. Hydro plans to move the lines underground but couldn’t do the work before road crews repaved the street and put down fresh asphalt around the pole. “The pole is still there because customers are still being powered while we move the lines underground,” said Ted Olynyk, B.C. Hydro’s manager of community relations on Vancouver Island. Hydro hopes to remove the pole and put the lines underground by the end of the month.

Central Saanich Police bust ‘sophisticated crime ring’ Patrol officers helped identify group suspected of stealing $100,000 Jim Zeeben News staff

Central Saanich Police have busted a “sophisticated crime ring” that had been targeting public parking lots, including the one at Island View Beach. Police allege two men and two women from the Lower Mainland managed to fraudulently obtain $100,000 by stealing items and credit cards from parked cars. In many cases, the credit cards

were used to withdraw cash or make purchases within minutes of being stolen. “These crimes have been impacting our community for months,” said Central Saanich Police deputy chief Les Sylven. “Ultimately it was patrol officers checking suspicious vehicles in the middle of the night that led to the identification of the subjects. The patrol officers passed on information to our detectives, who then called in

support from Sidney RCMP and the Saanich Street Crime Unit to make the arrests.” The group, arrested July 16, is believed to have victimized people across Greater Victoria and the Lower Mainland. Police have asked the Crown to lay multiple charges of fraud and possession of stolen property against the foursome. They are expected to appear in court in mid-September and could face additional charges, police said. The arrests are also a reminder to remove valuables from vehicles and report any suspicious activity in parking lots to police.

attack, but those leaves are clean, so what is going on? Last year I did have hordes of those black aphids, which reduced the nasturtiums to small piles of rubble. I wonder why I keep planting nasturtium seeds? Oh, I know. It’s because the seed is cheap and any idiot can grow nasturtiums (except this idiot). The pea seed I so hopefully planted produced plants and there were two pea pods which I picked, thrilled at my success. One pod was empty and the second contained two green peas. Whoopie! (that is sarcasm!) While I’m confessing my gardening expertise, let me tell you about my tomato plant — my big, beautiful tomato plant. Actually it did produce two tiny tomatoes: they were conjoined twins, joined together at the midsection. I ate them both in one gulp and had to eat one from the grocery store to get any tomato taste at all. Crop failure. Another

urban farmer goes down in flames. Am I going to give up? No way! Tomorrow, I’m planting more peas and hiring a couple of bees to pollinate them when

they start to bloom. One must never give up. Helen Lang has been the Peninsula News Review’s garden columnist for more than 30 years.

That rain, although it didn’t last long, certainly helped put a damper on those terrible forest fires. Today I can see both the Malahat and Salt Spring Island, which is a great improvement and I’m sure a huge relief for those who have been in the paths of those fires. It must have been terrifying! To think that some of the fires may have been deliberately started, is sickening. What on

Hotel California has been paying tribute to The Eagles since 1986. They play Sidneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mary Winspear Centre August 2 and 3.

Tribute band making the long run

SIDNEY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; For almost three decades, Hotel California have been recreating the legendary sound of The Eagles. The band set the bar in 1986 and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve remained the industry leading substitute for The Eagles ever since. Playing to huge outdoor and arena audiences, sharing bills with some of rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legends and going places no tribute band has gone before. A long run by any measure. It begs the question: What makes Hotel Californie so special? Incredible lead vocal similarity, intensely accurate instrumental work, soaring harmonies and top flight live performances, just for starters. These are the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hallmarks. When The Eagles stopped to catch their breath a few decades ago, Hotel California began a pioneering journey. Today Hotel California continues to tour internationally and their shows have evolved into one of the most impressive productions on the North American soft-seat and festival circuits. It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take you long to hear why legions of Eagles fans come back to see them time after time. Hotel California performs two shows in the Charlie White Theatre on Sunday, August 2 and Monday, August 3, both at 8 p.m. Tickets are on sale now at the Mary Winspear Centre box office 250-656-0275 or online at marywinspear.ca. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Submitted

Sierra Trueman of the Sidney Lawn Bowling Club, competes in the Under 25 Junior Provincial Lawn Bowling Championships held in Sidney. Trueman won bronze among the female bowlers.

Junior bowlers compete in Sidney at provincials SIDNEY — Sierra Trueman claimed third place at the Under 25 Junior Lawn Bowling Provincial Championship Sunday — a tremendous result considering this is Trueman’s first year in the sport. The provincials were hosted by the Sidney Lawn Bowling Club over the weekend (July 17 to 19) and featured some long, gruelling matches — one or two of them lasted up to three-and-a-half hours to determine the finalists in the tournament. The Junior Ladies gold was won by

Emma Boyd of the Tsawwassen Lawn Bowling Club, silver by Carah Webster of the Lake Hill Club and bronze by Trueman of the Sidney Lawn Bowling Club. On the boys’s side, the gold winner was Jude MacNair from Tsawwassen, silver by Arden Grew from Gordon Head and bronze by Alex Braim from Tsawwassen. The Sidney Lawn Bowling Club members are very proud of Trueman’s effort.

Ten-year-old John Demeriez of North Saanich is relentless as he circles his bike around and around the fieldhouse at Pearkes Recreation Centre. His volunteer partner, Nathan Wong, could use a break, but there will be no pit stop. It’s the first time Demeriez has successfully ridden a bike in well over a year. Thanks to the iCan Shine bike camp, Demeriez is back in gear and eager to go. “(Demeriez) gets around pretty fast,” says Wong, an 18-year-old University of Victoria student from Oak Bay. “It’s great exercise. I love it, it’s almost selfish how rewarding it is for me to see the kids learn to ride a bike.” Wong paired with Demeriez for a week recently and watched the North Saanich youngster progress from the most basic setting on the bike’s stabilizing roller — the key feature of the iCan Shine camp — to riding his own bike, newly purchased, without any stabilizing features. The stabilizing roller permits kids such as Demeriez, who struggles with balance issues, and children with disabilities to ride a bike. About 80 per cent of participants can ride a twowheel bicycle independently by the end of the fiveday program, said Sharon

Ten year old John Demeriez zips around the Pearkes field house on July 7 with volunteer Nathan Wong during the iCan Shine Bike Camp, which uses a stabilizing roller that helps kids learn to ride a bike. Stangeland, camp co-director and Island Health physiotherapist at the Queen Alexandra Centre for Children’s Health in Saanich. “Generally the nature of the disability dictates how long it will take a child to successfully (ride on two

wheels),” Stangeland said. “I’ve seen some children take four years, as long as they’re willing to stick it out, it can be done.” PLEASE SEE: Camp designed for kids with balance issues, page 15

Continued from page 13

A row of happy parents watched from the edge of the fieldhouse, some seeing their children ride a bike for the first time. The five-day iCan Shine bike camp was put on for kids and teens aged five to 17 with disabilities such as autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome and other disabilities affecting motor co-ordination. Enrolment was 35 kids this year, up from 28 last year. Only a few come back, such as Demeriez, who attended two years ago but stopped riding last year following a crash. “John needed to regain his confidence after a bad wipeout, and [in three days he] already got so much back,” said Demeriez’s mom Mary. The children start with a cylindrical roller in place of the back wheel, which is then switched out with a series of tapered rollers as the child becomes accustomed to the trickier balancing act each requires. One or two volunteers serve as

spotters for each rider. The Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island, housed on the QA

grounds in Saanich, contributed $15,000 to the iCan Shine bike camp, all from donations from the commu-

nity, including a $5,000 gift from the GoodLife Kids Foundation.

DEATHS

Robert Neil Martman Robert (Bob) Neil Martman passed peacefully in Victoria on July 8, 2015. Born in Duck Lake, Saskatchewan, he and Dorothy moved to Sidney in 1946, where they settled and raised their three sons, Gord, Bob and Ron. An active member of the community, he was a wellknown and respected builder, also operating the local Gem Theatre for many years as a family business. Predeceased by his wife Dorothy on May 10, 2015, he leaves three sons (Gord, Bob, Ron) and daughter-in-laws (Liz, Susan, Susanne). Also seven grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren, one of whom commented, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Grandpa was an honorable gentleman.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; A fitting description, Bob was quick to lend a hand or offer an encouraging word, acting always with fairness and integrity. He will be deeply missed by his family and friends. A â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Celebration of Lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; will be held at 2:00 pm on Tuesday, July 28th at Holy Trinity Church (corner of West Saanich and Mills) with tea to follow. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Robert (Dale) Randall July 26, 1943 - July 13, 2015

Surrounded by the love of his family, Robert (Dale) Randall passed away on July 13, 2015. Dale was born July 26, 1943 in Birtle, Manitoba the youngest of three. He met the love of his life and wife of 51 years Patricia Bridges while in the air force at Saint-Sylvestre, Quebec. They married in 1964 and moved to Victoria in 1967 where they raised their three daughters Cindy (Ryan), Carolyn (Greig) and Jennifer (Einar). Though an electrician by trade, in his retirement Dale became a talented woodworker selling his cutting boards, games and toys at various craft fairs on the Peninsula. He and Pat also enjoyed many trips in their trailer down South to winter in Arizona. Dale completely embraced the role of grandparent and was very proud of Cameron, Colin, Magnus, Kjartan, Cailin, Paiden and Soldis. Family gatherings were important to Dale and he loved having everyone over for dinner. With his generosity and sense of humour Dale developed many friendships over the years and will be greatly missed by all. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Palliative Unit.
