Bracelet of hope pushes rider forward Tour de Rock: Sidney auxiliary constable Devin Fidler was inspired by the riders Carlie Connolly News staff

Ever since middle school, Devin Fidler has always remembered the visits from the riders with the Cops For Cancer Tour de Rock.

Today, as an auxiliary constable with the RCMP in Sidney North Saanich and a corporal with the military police as a reservist, Fidler thinks now is a great time to be a part of it.

“They always inspired us, the students, to start fundraising with them and inspired me to fundraise with them so I would always shave my head, go out to the event and help them fundraise for the cause,” he said.

Fidler said he believes that everyone at some point in their life is touched by cancer. For him, it was his grandfather who died from lung cancer. He said he knows a lot friends who have had their family or friends also succumb to the

illness, adding that the ride is very important to do as it helps to raise money for a great cause.

He, along with the other police officers and media riders who are participating in the annual Tour, are assigned one to two junior riders who have been diagnosed with cancer. Riders will meet with them and work with them, listening to their stories.

The Keating Cross Road business area in Central Saanich has been the subject of debate for quite some time, and District council wants to review the potential of future development there.

Plans to review the area are preliminary and council is begining to outline the terms of reference in its strategic plan and are directing municipal staff to prepare a Request for Proposal (RFP) from consultants.

In February, council turned its mind to what exists on Keating Cross Road, why highway access may be needed and the sort of interconnectedness of various elements. Letters have come in from the public — with businesses also coming forward — querying about what might happen in the future. Council then determined at the start of this mandate at their first strategic plan in February, they would make this a priority.

Stage one of that was to do what they call a business case analysis, which is happening right now. The terms of reference are complete and set into motion the request for proposals.

Tip of the Peninsula Quick thinking saves the day

CENTRAL SAANICH — Curtis Marsh, a Thrifty Foods employee in Central Saanich, was recognized Wednesday, Aug. 5 for his due diligence in preventing a fire from getting out of control.

Central Saanich firefighters presented Marsh with a certificate of appreciation, after he alerted a co-worker to an area of smouldering bark mulch behind the Coast Capital Savings credit union, across from his workplace.

Marsh had been out walking approximately two weeks ago when he noticed the smoke. They both used four buckets of water to put out the fire.

By reporting this incident quickly, noted Thrifty Foods staff in a memo, Marsh helped to avoid a potentially hazardous situation and should serve as a reminder to everyone during this very dry, hot summer to be extremely careful, alert and aware of our local surroundings.

Second World War veterans Atholl Sutherland-Brown, left, and Tom Burdge were set to take a flight in a 1944 B-17 bomber. The aircraft, with the Commemorative Air Force out of the United States, is at the Victoria International Airport until August 16 and is being hosted by the Victoria Flying Club.

Living history from the air U.S.-based B-17 bomber makes a stop at the airport this week Steven Heywood News staff

Two veterans of the Second World War say keeping aircraft like a restored B-17 bomber in the air not only keeps history alive but honours the people who helped make that history.

On Monday, a B-17 bomber aircraft flew into the Victoria International Airport.

Operated by the U.S.based Commemorative Air Force, the iconic bomber is on the Saanich Peninsula until August 16, offering cockpit tours and flights.

For Victoria veterans Atholl Sutherland-Brown and Tom Burdge, it was a chance to get back into the air, despite not actually having flown in one during their service during the war.

Steven Heywood/News staff

Sutherland-Brown and Burdge chat with B-17 pilot Lt.-Col. (Ret.) Jim Kimmel.

Sutherland-Brown flew Beaufighter longrange fighter-bomber airplanes in the Pacific theatre, while Burdge flew Mosquito fighterbombers in Europe.

Burdge even had a hand in the restoration of a Mosquito at the

airport that was completed last year.

“It’s a real part of history,” said Sutherland-Brown, “and we shouldn’t forget it.”

Lt.-Col. (Ret.) Jim Kimmel is one of the pilots of the bomber, alongside copilot Dave

Watson. Kimmel said the aircraft did not see action in the Pacific, where it was sent after it was built in 1944.

After the war, where it was used as a VIP transport plane, it was used in sea rescue operations until 1959 when it was sold to a private company that turned it into a water bomber for 20 years.

It was obtained by the Commemorative Air Force in 1978, turned back into its original configuration and today, flied around 150 hours a year.

“It’s very reliable, Kimmel said. “She’ll tell you how she’s doing.”

Christened the Sen-

timental Journey, the bomber is flying history and education, Kimmel said. Part of the group’s stable of airworthy planes (last year, they brought a B-25 bomber to Victoria), he explained they are used to educate new generations and to honour the air crews who flew to ensure freedom during the Second World War. It’s the Commemorative Air Force’s mission, Kimmel continued, to provide living history through actual experiences.

Boat damage traced to hit and run CENTRAL SAANICH — Police are still investigating a hit and run that took place on the water after the July 18 fireworks at Butchart Gardens.

A boat is believed to have struck the side of the 30 foot aluminum vessel, causing $7,000 worth of damage.

There was one witness who heard the crash and came forward to the police the day after the incident, but the Central Saanich Police Service report that the person didn’t see anything at the time it happened, which was around midnight on the 18th.

Police are looking for a boat sitting approximately two feet above the water line, with a bow mount and that may have fresh damage and yellow paint on the bow — as traces of yellow and a large dent were left on the damaged boat.

Witnesses are asked to contact Sgt. Andre Rosset of Central Saanich Police at 250 652 4441 or Crime Stoppers at 1 800 222 TIPS (8477).

Council is now going through the RFP process which seeks proposals from professionals to go out and conduct the research and analysis for the Keating Cross Road area to bring back to council for review.

Councillor Niall Palitiel said the plan is really about listening to business owners and residents who are there in that community. He said those are the folks who are adding vitality and creating employment opportunities there.

Palitiel noted he hopes the process to allow council to understand, from a customer-based and tax-based perspective, what council can do better. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Federal Election 2015

Leaders battle over jobs, pipelines, jets Tom Fletcher Black Press

Carlie Connolly/News staff

Devin Fidler, Tour de Rock rider and an auxiliary RCMP constable in Sidney, rides around the familiar surroundings in Sidney.

A reminder as he rides Continued from page 1

“The kids that we’re raising the money for, they are just starting their lives and already they are going through the biggest battle of it,” said Fidler.

Fidler and the other riders also attended Camp Goodtimes, a summer recreation program where kids with cancer can attend with their families, and it was something Fidler really enjoyed.

“It just reminds me of how happy the kids were at camp.

You go there and these kids are happy, you wouldn’t think it was any different than any other

camp.”

With his long rides and training days, it’s a small multicoloured rope around his bike that keeps him going and keeps him motivated.

At Camp Goodtimes, he received a multi-coloured bracelet, which is something each child receives when they go home from camp. They gather in a circle, hold onto the piece of string and talk about the fun things they had at camp, sharing in their experiences. They then cut a string and tie a bracelet on themselves and onto each other.

This is something that Fidler keeps on his bike as a reminder

when he rides.

So far, he has raised $7,600, with a large goal of $15,000. He will be taking part in a Cops for Cancer Silent Auction fundraiser at the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre on Aug. 22 which will have more than $4,000 worth of items to be auctioned off.

Something Fidler took away from the Camp he visited, was when he asked a girl there what her favourite thing was about the camp. He said she replied the lake, crafts, camp fires — but that the best thing was that it’s free. And that’s due to the money raised by the Cops For Cancer Tour de Rock.

Federal party leaders squared off in their first TV debate Thursday, Aug. 6, a mostly polite two-hour exchange of views on the economy, environment and military action overseas.

The environment segment was most focused on B.C., where Prime Minister Stephen Harper was pressed on stalled pipeline proposals to the west and east coasts. Harper said low world prices for energy make it the only sector that is under-performing, while the rest of the economy is growing.

Green Party leader Elizabeth May urged NDP leader Thomas Mulcair to oppose the twinning of the TransMountain oil pipeline.

Mulcair stuck to his position that he will await a federal environmental review.

Harper noted Liberal

Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau, Green Party leader Elizabeth May, NDP leader Tom Mulcair and Conservative leader Stephen Harper take part in their first debate of the 2015 election campaign. leader Justin Trudeau has opposed capital cost allowances for liquefied natural gas investors, weakening the case for new gas pipelines. He said his government approved the Northern Gateway pipeline proposed to run to Kitimat with more than 200 conditions, because “that’s how the system works.”

Trudeau and Harper sparred over green-

house gas emission efforts, with Harper noting he moved ahead on curbing coal power plant emissions three years before U.S. President Barack Obama.

Harper agreed that approval of the Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta to southern U.S. refineries will likely have to wait for Obama to leave office next year.

OUR VIEW

Cyclers can now celebrate Commuters throughout Greater Victoria breathed a sigh of relief recently when the longawaited McKenzie interchange for the TransCanada Highway finally started to move ahead.

The provincial government has ponied up more than $52 million towards the $85 million interchange, with Ottawa agreeing to pick up the remaining costs.

Provincial Transportation Minister Todd Stone pointed to a recent survey showing that addressing the Colwood Crawl was the No. 1 concern of Vancouver Island residents from Victoria all the way to Campbell River. The traffic gridlock at the McKenzie interchange is the worst in the province outside of the George Massey Tunnel bottleneck in the Lower Mainland.

The project, expected to be completed by fall 2018, should reduce a significant portion of the commuting time for the 90,000 vehicles that travel through the intersection on an average day. We would hope that the project will not overlook another significant component of reducing traffic congestion.

The Greater Victoria Cycling Coalition is calling on the province to improve cycling safety at the proposed interchange, pointing specifically to the Galloping Goose Trail crossing at Mckenzie Avenue.

“The Galloping Goose Regional Trail is an essential connection for people riding bikes and walking,” said GVCC president Edward Pullman.

“With many near-misses and crashes, this dangerous intersection needs a fully separated allages and abilities overpass, similar to the switch bridge near Uptown.”

The coalition is asking that Galloping Goose be maintained throughout construction and the new interchange contains protected bike lanes along Admirals Road through to McKenzie Avenue and easy access to the trail.

The coalition’s request seems like a common sense proposal, and one that would unlikely put much of a dent in the project’s $85 million price tag. The protected bike lanes and accessible trail will just be the finishing touches on a project the whole region can celebrate.

But we’re expected to believe that Mulcair has a different position, for now.

Harper was forced to admit that his long effort to persuade U.S. President Barack Obama to approve the Keystone XL pipeline has failed, and the project will have to wait until Obama leaves office next year.

The debate also confirmed positions on Canada’s modest role in bombing Islamic State terrorist positions in Iraq and Syria. The Conservatives are for it, and the Liberals, NDP and Greens are against it.

Trudeau set the stage for the contest in Quebec, which B.C. voters can only watch from afar to see if it once again decides the shape of their federal government. Trudeau pushed Mulcair on his cynical bid to court the separatist voters who suddenly swung to Jack Layton’s NDP in 2011.

LETTERS Make changes before Sidney dies altogether I

have had enough of reading the letters from so many negative people, so against the proposed Sidney Gateway shopping centre to be built on the airport lands, most of whom do not live in West Sidney if in fact they live in Sidney at all and probably don’t even travel to West Sidney at any time.

I for one am delighted with the proposal. I have lived in West Sidney for 42 years and raised my family here. Absolutely nothing has been done for this area, not even sidewalks, we are totally ignored. In fact, in 2011, I actually wrote to Sidney council to inquire about the possibility of sidewalks in our area and I was informed that infrastructure plans for road improvements, sidewalks etc. are not in the town plans until 2023.

As is it is, we have to walk or drive our cars across the highway to get to the shops, to school, to the doctor, the dentist, optometrist etc. and we do it without complaint.

As for Sidney being such a great shopping centre, why is it that there are so many empty shops in town? Could it be the high rents equaling higher prices?

Costco wanted to come to Sidney and they were turned away only to locate in Langford and now look at the amazing changes that have happened there. What did we get in that location instead of Costco? The West Sidney Industrial Park — and without any input from the community.

I for one and I know I’m not the only one, drives to Victoria every week to do my main shopping. I

the left turn lane and so they continue straight on in to Victoria.

With a shopping centre, there is a better opportunity for people to take a right turn to enjoy a visit there and from there they can cross back over the highway and explore Sidney, especially if there are some good information racks advertising all that is available in town. This is an area where the business association needs to work together with the proposed Gateway to compliment and support one another.

Please, you closed minded people, wake up, start to think of others and not just yourselves and let’s make some changes before Sidney dies altogether. Let’s just consider someone else for once.

shop locally for odds and ends that I run out of. Let me assure you, I love Sidney and all that it has to offer but there is still room for growth. The land for the Gateway has never been used for anything. It will never be farmed and will sit empty. It is neither beautiful nor useful.

The proposed roundabout will be a real asset for those of us that travel along those roads each day.

As it is, those commuting from Sidney or off the highway fly up Beacon Avenue to McDonald Park Road well over the speed limit and we have to take our lives in our hands to get on to Beacon from Galaran. As for people coming off the ferry, unless they plan to go to Sidney, by the time they get to the traffic lights at Beacon Avenue they are probably not in

Readers respond: Proposed Victoria Airport Authority Gateway commercial project garners more reaction Don’t tear the town apart We join the chorus of objectors to the inane idea of a shopping plaza on VAA land.

The beauty of our Town of Sidney, is that it has a main street, local shops,and pride of community. Strip malls are certainly not the answer as most residents moved here because of the local shopping. Certainly the VAA should be honouring the town, not trying to tear it apart. There are enough creative minds who could find better use of that corner. Why not move the skate park there? Although we are quite in favour of keeping the skate park where it is.

Joyce Mylymok North Saanich

Not a priority The Pat Bay Highway and Beacon Avenue intersection is currently a nightmare. Instead of the Gateway retail project, the construction of a well designed interchange at this intersection should be top priority for council.

Should the Gateway project proceed as planned, the possibility of an interchange being constructed is remote, as much of the airport land required for an interchange would be taken up by the proposed project.

F. Merritt Chisholm Sidney

Give people a reason to visit I question the benefit of the proposed retail development on the airport lands.

I believe more retail is the last thing Sidney needs. Sidney would benefit much more from improvements within the existing town core.

Spreading out with new retail development will surely end up with more vacant stores in the town core, which none of us want to see.

I am not against development of the airport land, but it should be something unique, so it gives people a reason to want to visit Sidney. It needs to be a destination. Perhaps a visual arts centre or a market similar to Granville Island featuring local products/produce/arts and crafts.

There could be an attraction like the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre, or perhaps the land should try to attract new high tech industry to our town to diversify the local employment market.

NEWS REVIEW

Anyone with a can opener can serve peas T

he next few weeks promise to be brutal. It has already been hot, but the end of July and the first couple of weeks of August are often like being stuck in the bowels of a roaring furnace.

I suppose when winter comes we’ll recall these over-heated days with fondness (as we carefully button up our heavy coats and wrap another woollen scarf around our goose-flesh

covered necks — and we haven’t yet even opened the front door).

Today there is a welcome gentle breeze to keep it from being too warm and the sunshine is glorious. There isn’t a cloud anywhere. Talk about being spoiled.

This is the beginning of harvest season, which means a lot of work for the housewife, as her husband staggers in carrying another basket of fruit and vegetables for her

attention. She can’t decide whether to scream for mercy, or hit him with the frying pan, but calms herself long enough to say, fairly calmly, “That’s enough for today, dear, unless you want to help get them ready for freezing, bottling or cooking.”

He pleads a headache and totters off to lie down in the bedroom where there is a big fan to sooth his fevered brow.

If this sounds mean,

Over the Garden Fence please forgive me, I speak from experience.

I adored my husband, but never understood his disinterest in the garden.

He loved the fresh produce, but wanted no part in “producing” it, which was the part that most thrilled me.

Anybody with a canopener can serve peas. but they just don’t

taste the same as those fresh ones, or the ones you’ve frozen.

This is what keeps gardeners in the vegetable plot, wielding the spade, the rake and the hoe and hauling the hoses, of course.

Actually it’s a disease and you just can’t stop until you drop in your tracks, in the middle of a row of ripening squash.

SIDNEY — Summer Sounds, put on by the Peninsula Celebrations Society has put on a few shows this month, seeing many people come out for the entertainment.

The cost of the Summer Sounds Concert Series costs around $10,000 dollars to put on each year, with the musicians paid along with the sound man paid. There are also other associated costs involved as well.

The Society has most of its annual budget raised by volunteers, much of it at the Summer Sounds. Volunteers will go around the crowd, asking for donations to keep the concerts going.

‘If you like the gig, feed the pig’ is their motto.

Summer Sounds has two shows left of the season with Rukus on Aug. 16 and Four Chords of Wood on Aug. 23.

They are hoping to continue raising funds for the Festival of Trees at the Mary Winspear Centre along with the Santa Breakfast, Sidney Sparkles Christmas Parade and Sidney Days next year, along with other events throughout.

this week boils down to talking about dandelions.

One of the little girls in my extended family was enchanted by dandelion flowers that had now become fuzzy, round seed-pods.

She learned to blow the fluffy tops away.

Children always seem to be interested in something new (don’t they have dandelions in Alberta?).

Incidently, I want my hamburger with four slices of crisp bacon and a big slice of cheese added. If you’re going to forget your diet, why not do it in style?

and a cookie, of course!

Some of the family from Alberta wanted to go to the beach, so I sent them off asking that they come back for me in about half an hour, which gave me time to make a sandwich lunch, adding cookies and a large bottle of pop, which we all enjoyed, perched on a log. It was fun. The kids enjoyed it, anyway. With plans to come back, this time Nanny is going to buy hamburgers to take to the beach for lunch.

All my adult life I have saved money for my old age and now I think it’s time to spend at least some of it! I love these dear people and would like to help make their holiday as happy as I can.

Family Fest is this Saturday at Market CENTRAL SAANICH — Families are invited to take part in the fifth annual Central Saanich Family Festival, this Saturday, Aug. 15.

Put on by the Saanichton Village Association, the event takes place during the Peninsula Country Market at the Saanich Fairgrounds off Stelly’s Cross Road. Bob Thompson, president of the Market, says they clear space each year for the Family Festival, providing a lively place for families, activities and music.

“The Village Association used to do this event in area parks,” he said. “There was an overlap so about three years ago it was decided to kill two birds with one stone and combine the two events into one.”

The Central Saanich Family Festival will be at the Market Saturday, Aug. 15 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

irgil Sampson, representing the Coast Salish nation, has been doing artwork for more than 20 years and puts his thoughts and dreams into what he puts on a drum, canvas or paper.

Sampson is one of the featured artists at this year’s First Nations, Inuit and Metis Art Show at the Mary Winspear Centre this month.

Born and raised on the Tsartlip First Nation in Brentwood Bay, Sampson, since he was a teenager, has always been influenced by local artists like his late brother John Sampson, Charles Elliot and many others who have been encouraging and supportive.

From now until Sept.

3, he will have much of his work on display for the public to view, including a canvas painting of an orca titled The Guardian, in which he said the whales depicted represent the guardian and protector spirit.

In the painting, he uses modern colours like turquoise, aqua greens, purple and orange.

Also on display will be a 20-inch elk hide drum, which his brother taught him

Spinecare Chiropractic During my 31 years as a Chiropractor, I can’t count the number of times I have had people say to me “ Oh, I don’t need to see a Chiropractor�.

Or, “I don’t believe in Chiropractors!�.

When I hear this I have to roll my eyes, take a deep breath and try not to laugh, or yell, because I realize that, once again, I am talking to someone who is judging, or commenting on a topic they truly do not understand.

I usually follow up their comments with the question, “Well, do you actually know what a Chiropractor does and why they do it?�. And their response is quite often, “Sure. They ‘CRACK BACKS!’. �

Oy! Where did the public ever pick up that misconception!! Cracking Backs? Really? Why would I ever want to CRACK someone’s back??

So, now that I have your attention, I want to de-myth that concept and try to explain to the 80% of the population that have NEVER had their back checked, what we, as Chiropractors, actually do.

SO, why should you , and your family, need to see a Chiropractor?

Well, if you have a spine, which we ALL do, then it needs to be checked periodically. But why??

Well, let’s discuss your spine.

Firstly, How important is it?

Your spine serves 3 functions : 1.) It keeps you upright 2.) It provides flexibility so you can bend and twist.

3.) It protects your spinal cord.

We all want to be upright and mobile. This has allowed us to be “hunters and gatherers� for millions of years. All part of the “survival�

mechanism.

Protecting our spinal cord is SUPER important!

We are all familiar with the results of spinal cord injuries. We want our spinal cord and nervous system to function as well as possible. And since the spinal cord travels through our spine, any abnormal movement of our spinal bones may cause unnecessary pressure on the spinal nerves, resulting in decreased signals from the brain.

This is not a good scenario, as it may result in decreased function of muscles and organs.

In other words, nerve irritation in the spine decreases our ability to be as healthy as we would like to be.

Chiropractors are trained to locate any spinal bones, or vertebrae, that may be slightly out of alignment or not moving normally, and correct these “subluxations� (nice fancy word we use!) using a variety of gentle, simple techniques.

We DO NOT “crack bones!!� We are not “bone crunchers!� Chiropractic is amazingly safe and has helped millions of people of all ages.

By improving the function of the spine, people

have noticed improved flexibility, increased energy and less pain.

Many people utilize Chiropractic , not just for pain relief, but for preventative measures. We see a dentist regularly to help prevent teeth and gum decay. We get our car tuned up to prevent mechanical breakdowns. Regular spinal checkups

by Chiropractors helps to keep the spine flexible and moving properly and that aids in preventing joint breakdown and keeps spinal nerves “firing� and doing their job. Individuals who do have regular spinal checkups have less spinal problems as they age, and therefore, are able to stay more active.

So, if you think that Chiropractors just “crack backs�, it’s time to change your way of perceiving this safe and simple art of health care. 100 years and millions of amazing success stories can’t be wrong!

But don’t take my word for it. Come in to our offices and experience it for yourself. You will not be given any medications! You will be treated with a warm welcome and much compassion.

If you have a Chiropractor on your Health Team, then please continue to visit him or her for regular checkups. If you don’t, then give me a call and I will fit you into my schedule or refer to you to one of my great colleagues.

Remember, you only have one spine and it has to last a lifetime, so start taking care of it as early as possible.

Make Chiropractic part of your family’s health care plan.

Stay Well and Stay Healthy!

Brian Wallace, manager of the fairgrounds said that this year with the continuous additions to the fair, he expects it to be the best one yet.

Seeing between 45,000 and 50,000 people over the weekend, this year’s theme is llamas and alpacas and is called ‘Take a spin out to the fair.’ The Kidz Zone, which is the main addition this year, will have a 50-x-100, 5,000 square foot tent.

Inside, there will be a 116th scale miniature tractor display with the same scale farming implements alongside. Many of the tractors will be remote controlled. Wallace said children will have the opportunity to not only play with them, but learn about what each of the implements do.

There will also be a cowboy and cowgirl school, bean bag toss, miniature tractor peddling races and a 4-x-16-foot colouring wall, which will be farmthemed for the kids to colour.

Live entertainment will also be taking place on the Saturday and Sunday with big name country singer, Jesse Roper and Canadian rock legends Honeymoon Suite set to perform.

Poker run is back this Saturday on the Salish Sea Boater registrations being taken right up until the day of the Poker Run SIDNEY — The Sidney Poker Run will take place Saturday, Aug. 15 out of the Port of Sidney Marina and organizers say they will continue to accept boater registrations right up until the day of the event.

The event 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.

The revised Sidney Poker Run welcomes all boat owners — whether they have a skiff, a runabout, a cruiser, a fishing boat or a 60-foot yacht.

“It’s not a race,” said 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.”

PNR file photo

Dale Bachhaus, Debbie Tracz, Gabe and Carmen Gauvreau and Dawn Attwood are organizing the Sidney Poker Run after a five-year event hiatus. It was once known as the Vancouver Island Poker Run.

Affordable Living for Independent Seniors

The Sidney Poker Run is 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.

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.

“At the end of the day, we want to have some fun and help out those loal charities.”

– Dale Backhaus The long course is 88 miles and the short, 30 miles, with stops at various Gulf islands.

Boaters pick up playing cards at designated stops (they can also pick them up afterwards). Whoever has the best poker hand

at the end of the day wins the grand prize of $1,000.

There’s a lunch stop for all vessels, no matter which course they choose to take, at Mill Bay Marina.

A dinner and dance takes place at the Mary

HEALTHY LIFESTYLES Local meat can be a healthier choice Grass-fed and finished is what Carnivore Meats and More is all about

Steak and Greens with Blue Cheese and Walnuts

Carlie Connolly News staff

Opened a year and a half ago, Carnivore Meats and More is one of the very few businesses that carry a local meat product within its store.

Not only are the products local, but everything is hormone, antibiotic and steroid free, making it a healthier choice for consumers.

Ian MacDonald, owner of the Central Saanich store places great emphasis on the fact that the beef and lamb they carry are grass-fed and grass-finished, which means that the animals are raised on pasture-land. This carries a number of benefits for the consumers who are purchasing this type of meat including a better tasting and healthier product.

“The health benefits are many and the more research you do, the more you come across more health benefits,” he said.

While most cattle are spending the majority of their lives in pastures eating grass before moving to a feedlot, where MacDoanld said they crowd hundreds of animals into very tight quarters feeding them very heavy doses of grain and pumping antibiotics and steroids into them, their grassfinished beef cattle remain on a pasture diet.

“It’s also very healthy for you in that it’s not full of hormones and antibiotics as most of the beef product and pork product that we consume in

Owner of Carnivore Meats and More in Brentwood Bay, Ian MacDonald, packages one of his many healthy and locally fed products.

Canada is,” he said.

MacDonald said that when people put cattle on the grain-based diet, it changes the nature of the fat, and it makes the fats very unhealthy, greatly increasing the levels of bad cholesterol while reducing the good cholesterol levels.

With the grass-finished diet, it makes it so that the cholesterol levels are much healthier and full of lots of anti-oxidants and anti-carcinogenic properties.

The key to finding good quality and healthy meat is asking questions about where

“If it’s a good product the purveyor will shout it loud and proud,” said MacDonald.

He said that a lot of times, there are places that try and green-wash the product, making it appear that their product is more local, more healthy and more environmentally friendly. Often times, this isn’t the case, he said.

He added that 98 per cent of the beef that is consumed in Canada is mass produced in four plants in Alberta that are all exactly the same.

Chelsea Burdge

M.Sc. Aud (C)

Registered Audiologist

We are extremely pleased to introduce our newest audiologist at McNeill Audiology. Chelsea Burdge grew up on the Saanich Peninsula and completed her B.Sc. at UVic in the combined Biology and Psychology program in 2010. From a young age she was aware of wanting to work in healthcare, and was able to give that awareness some direction when she shadowed an audiologist and witnessed the emotions of a client being fit with hearing aids for the first time. For Chelsea, audiology is the perfect combination of working hands-on with amazing technology while also helping people with their health.

Chelsea completed one of her clinical practicums with us while attending UBC’s Master of Audiology program.

After completion of her degree at UBC, she spent 8 months on contract with the Government of Nunavut, providing audiological services to patients of all ages in 12 communities in the Baffin Island region. Chelsea and her husband are happy to be home in Victoria where they can do their favourite activities year-round, including boating, fishing, and camping. She also enjoys running, snowboarding, and working in her garden.

Chelsea feels passionate about providing the best possible service to people with hearing loss, and we are thrilled to have her join the McNeill Audiology team. She looks forward to meeting you!

B.C. wants climate action input before Aug. 17

VICTORIA — The first phase of public consultation for B.C.’s Climate Leadership Plan ends Aug. 17.

Participants are asked to complete an online survey at engage.gov.bc.ca/climateleadership to choose their priorities for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Participants are asked to assign a point value to choices such as minimizing travel in community planning, using regulations and incentives to encourage energy efficiency and clean technology, and requiring new greenhouse gas sources to adhere to B..C.’s climate targets.

The province has committed to hold its carbon tax on fuels at the current level of $30 per tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent until 2018. B.C.’s greenhouse gas reduction targets call for a steep reduction in emissions, to reach a 30 per cent decrease from 2007 to 2020.

No apology from Harper Continued from page 5

Mulcair said he would support military action sanctioned by the United Nations or under Canada’s NATO commitments.

Harper said the deployment of six fighter jets with special forces support is what Canada’s allies want to do, and Islamic State is a “nerve centre” for a global movement that has targeted Canada specifically.

Clergy urge parishioners to be careful stewards Steven Heywood News staff

The annual Blessing of the Animals religious service at St. Stephen’s Anglican Church in Central Saanich has gone to the dogs.

At one time, said parishioner Al Gerenser, there were llamas, pigs, sheep, goats and even rats. Most of the pets at the Sunday, August 9 service were dogs.

There were a few cats, a rabbit and some Guinea pigs, as well as Nichole Wade and her 16-hands-high Olderburg/Arabian horse.

Still, dogs ruled the

Rev. Rob Szo of St. Stephen’s led the Ser-

vice, calling on the people gathered to act as responsible stewards with those animals that share their lives.

“May you be blessed with them ... and in

your role as a careful steward,” he said.

Gerenser, who also volunteers with the Pacific Animal Therapy Society, said the event honours people’s ani-

mal friends and allows people to share their spiritual lives with the furrier members of their extended family. editor@peninsula newsreview.com

A program called Customer Choice lets you buy gas from an independent gas marketer at fixed rates and terms, or from FortisBC at a variable rate. Independent gas marketers may knock on your door to discuss these options. Either way, FortisBC would still deliver your gas. To learn more about your options, visit fortisbc.com/yourchoice.
