Saanich Fair opens Saturday Steven Heywood News staff
Get ready to Take a Spin at the Fair. An estimated 45,000 people will walk through the gates of the Saanich Fair over the next three days. The 148th Saanich Fair runs Sept. 5 to 7 at the Saanich Fairgrounds in Central Saanich on Stelly’s X Road. It is a highlight of the year for fans of animals, great food, amusement rides, games and so much more. The Fair has added a new Kidz Zone — a huge tent next to the main stage with all kinds of farm and agriculture related activities for children. Alpacas and llamas take centre stage at the Fair. There will be shearing demonstrations by regional animal owners, as well as information on how their wool is spun. On stage this weekend are headliners Jesse Roper (on stage Saturday at 8 p.m.) and Honeymoon Suite (Sunday at 8:30 p.m.). They lead the collection of local and regional talent on the Thrifty Foods Community Stage. There is even a new category, called Fair Factor — a competition for local music acts to appear on stage. A program of this year’s Saanich Fair, produced by the PNR will be available on site. For more details, visit saanichfair.ca.

Making Sidney dementia-friendly Private care providers offering workshops this fall for local business, government Carlie Connolly News staff
Two private seniors’ care companies are collaborating with the Town of Sidney and Alzheimer Society of B.C. to make the community a safer place for people with dementia. The Alzheimer Society of B.C runs a Dementia-Friendly Com-
munities Initiative. Bayshore Home Health, in collaboration with Sidney All Care, have met with Mayor Steve Price and the Town’s Chief Administrative Officer Randy Humble, to start a process of having Sidney labelled dementia friendly. Bayshore, in partnership with local businesses, will run a series of workshops on Alzheimer’s and
dementia. “It’s like a workshop on what dementia is, how to recognize it in your community because about 60 percent of people with dementia actually live at home,” said Stasia Hartley, area director of Bayshore Home Health. Participants will go through a one hour training session. The exact date and details of the
workshop is scheduled to be discussed by Sidney town councillors at their Sept. 8 council meeting. Many people with dementia or Alzheimer’s can live independently at home, but sometimes they need support in their community. PleaSe See: Training for dementia, page 6

Final weekend to enter Hockeyville ticket draw for NHL tickets
NORTH SAANICH — This Saturday and Sunday will be the final opportunity to enter your name into a draw for tickets to the NHL preseason game between the Vancouver Canucks and San Jose Sharks on Sept. 21. The game is the reward to the Panorama Recreation Centre for winning the 2015 Kraft Hockeyville title back in April, along with $100,000 for arena upgrades. The rink at Panorama, however, was deemed too small for an NHL game, so the game will be held at the Q Centre in Colwood. All tickets are being distributed through a supervised public lottery, weighted in favour of Saanich Peninsula residents. To enter, you must be 19 years old or older and have photo ID. On Saturday, people are invited to place their ballot in person between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. at Panorama. On Sunday, ballots can be cast in person between noon and 6 p.m.. Results will be announced in the Panorama arena Sept. 10 and winners listed at panoramarecreation.ca. — News staff

Sidney’s chief financial officer says the municipality is not looking to borrow any more than $8 million for its proposed new community safety building. The current cost estimate for the replacement of the fire hall sits at $10 million. That figure, says Director of Corporate Services Andrew Hicik, is based on construction costs associated with the size of the building. That’s the estimated price per square foot, compared with similar fire hall replacement projects in communities such as Central Saanich and View Royal. He noted that the Town plans to sell property and find other sources of money to cover that $2 million difference between what they will borrow and the overall price tag of the facility. He added that municipal staff are under direction from council — on this project specifically and in overall practice — to find cost savings where they can. As a result, he agreed that final costs are, at this time, a moving target. “Based on the best information that we have right now, yes, (the $5 to $8 million in borrowing) is the range,” he said, adding he hopes to narrow that down even further as the project is refined. To do that, Hicik recently asked council to approve spending $85,000 now for preliminary design work by an architect and other consultants. An additional $1 million for design work and site preparation was also approved last month. That money will come out of the borrowed funds, Hicik

explained, should they be approved by the electorate in a planned counter-petition process in 2016. Hicik said that $1 million would be part of the overall early construction preparation process and would help further determine the final cost of the new building. Combined with the $85,000 the Town is spending now, Hicik said staff will be able to give council, and the public, a very good cost estimate. That estimate will be important heading into the fall as council plans to consider its borrow-

ing bylaw. That would establish the amount to be borrowed and put to the electorate in a counter-petition next year. Under counter-petition rules, 10 per cent of the electorate would have to petition the municipality against
borrowing in order for the bylaw to fail, placing the onus back on the municipality to either go to a referendum, delay the project or revise it, among other options. Hicik added staff’s goal is to keep costs down and look to save
money where possible. “We want to ensure the building will meet (the needs of the fire department), but at the same time there’s the direction to limit its cost as best we can.” The difference between the proposed borrowing and the actual cost of the community safety building, said Hicik, will be covered by the sale of the current fire hall and the land. Documents on the Town’s website suggest the property is valued in the $2 million range, yet Hicik noted the market will determine what the Town gets for it.

Town getting friendlier
A
high population of senior residents in Sidney and the Saanich Peninsula means we all have to be ready to understand the needs of people who might be a little less mobile than they were a few years ago, or who are suffering the onset of dementia. A move to make Sidney businesses, residents and local government a little more friendly to those people with one form of dementia or another, will try to ensure those individuals feel safe in their chosen community. It’s another excellent effort to better accommodate a significant portion of the population here. Not long ago, a committee of concerned citizens came together to increase people’s awareness about mobility and access issues in Sidney and neighbouring communities. From sidewalk access to We can all learn even the simple ability for wheelchairs or something by scooters to enter making that leap local businesses, the Access Awareness Committee has met with a great deal of success. They were able to teach people about the limitations people with mobility issues have and how access to their favourite shop — or even into the downtown itself — can add greatly to their quality of life. There is still more work to be done, according to committee members, but the effort so far has been successful. There’s potential for the same success in making Sidney a dementia-friendly community. Workshops are being held soon to educate interested business owners on how they might act as safe places for people suffering from dementia. It means getting over long standing stigmas associated with conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and accepting that people are growing older. To help them stay at home longer, health care providers are willing to help everyone else, if they choose to participate, to accommodate their needs. Such efforts make for a friendlier, safer and more inclusive community, one that bridges the gap between young and old — and we can all learn something by making that leap. What do you think?

Town needs more family-oriented options As a time crunched working mother of a teen and tween, I am in favour of the proposed Gateway project and more family oriented shopping in Sidney and North Saanich. With the exception of shoe stores, Sidney’s boutiques don’t meet the needs of our growing family — they cater to wealthy seniors and NIMBY retirees with lots of time to write letters to the editor. Today I tried in vain to shop for my 14 year old son in Sidney but will end up making a trip to Victoria to buy him and his sister back to school clothes, running shoes and sporting equipment, as well as other household items. Since I work in downtown Victoria, I shop on my lunch hour or on the way home. A Canadian Tire, Sport Chek, Home Depot or Costco would be welcome additions to our area. The growing population of the Peninsula and travellers to the airport and ferries would certainly support more retail choices. West Sidney is also in much need of improvements like sidewalks and landscaping that would beautify the tired looking area around the airport. Corinne Deshaw North Saanich

like to know the parties’ stance and where the local candidates stand. Nurses, who are concerned about the state of health care in Canada will want to know the candidates’ position on these issues and it will certainly influence their vote. 1. What are the plans for a Universal Prescription Drug programme? Many seniors go without food in order to pay for medication. 2. What are the plans for reducing wait times? 3. How will your party deal with shortage of family physicians?
4. What are your plans to deal with the increase in the senior population will there be a Senior Strategy plan to address senior issues, especially the problem of abuse in the care facilities, which is a serious problem across Canada? 5. Will you increase the number of RN’s in the hospitals? Patient care is suffering under the present conditions here in B.C. 6. What plans do you have for preventive health care, which could save millions of dollars if done early? 7. Will you honour the Supreme Court ruling regarding physicianassisted dying? 8. How will you address the obesity problem in Canada? New food laws would help if sugar, fat and salt was reduced. 9. Will you legalize, regulate and tax marijuana, and make it easier to obtain for medical purposes. 10. How will you address the disgraceful problem of the mentally ill living on the streets as facilites are closed? I realize most of these issues are supposedly covered by provincial governments, so the question to the parties becomes: will you increase transfer payments to the provinces instead of sending billions of dollars in foreign aid? I always thought charity began at home. Health care issues should be at the top of the parties’ list of promises, but as of now there has been no mention of it. Louise Worrall Sidney

New ‘hands-on’ curriculum for B.C. schools Tom Fletcher Black Press
The new school year in B.C. is the start of a three-year transition to a new curriculum that Education Minister Mike Bernier says will emphasize “hands-on” learning. The new curriculum is being phased in this year for Kindergarten to Grade 9, with higher grades still in development. Bernier said this year it will be up to local school districts and teachers to begin implementing it before it becomes mandatory in the fall of 2016. Grade 10-12 curriculum is to be mandatory in 2017. Bernier, the Peace River South MLA appointed education minister this summer, said he’s heard from teachers who are looking forward to a cur-
riculum that allows more flexibility and individual learning. He stressed that basic skills of reading, writing and arithmetic will remain, but students will also be taught life skills, communication, collaboration and critical thinking. Two areas of emphasis for the new curriculum are environmental education and an aboriginal perspective, which Bernier said will be present in “every single component in the curriculum.” Local schools are encouraged to work with aboriginal communities to represent the full diversity of aboriginal experience. Hands-on learning is already in place in schools and Bernier used the example of a shop teacher in his home town of Dawson Creek who encouraged
students at risk of dropping out to take his course. They learned mathematics and physics through taking motors apart and reassembling them, he said. Bernier invited parents to look for themselves at gradeby-grade documents posted at curriculum. gov.bc.ca, listing learning standards and areas of emphasis. In the science curriculum, for example, students are to be taught “big ideas” that in grade one include “observable patterns and cycles occur in the local sky and landscape.” By Grade 8, they are to learn at “Earth and its climate have changed over geological time.” Science competencies required by grade seven include the
ability to “exercise a healthy, informed skepticism and use scientific knowledge and findings for their own investigations to evaluate claims in secondary sources” such as media reports. By that time they should be able to iden-
tify possible sources of error in their investigations, understand qualitative and quantitative evidence and “demonstrate an awareness of assumptions … and bias in their own work and secondary sources.”

Full cost estimate to be ready by December Continued from page 3
Other money, from gas tax payments from other levels of government, as well as potential lease payments, are being looked at as other potential sources. Asked if it’s common practice to start construction with less money than an estimated price tag, Hicik said yes and that the Town would draw on its borrowed fund as needed to pay the bills. “We are not going to go over our budget,” he said. “Every major project is subject to due diligence up front.” He added that due diligence can also help reduce costs and keep projects at or under budget. A proposed timeline from Bradley Shuya Archi tect Inc. has a design plan ready by November 30 and a full cost estimate ready by December 15. Council approval of the design and its capital borrowing bylaw could occur between January 1 or Feb. 29, 2016. The counter-petition could go out by spring next year and, if successful, building permits could be in place by the early summer, with construction starting by November, 2016, ending by summer of 2018.
Training for dementia-friends
Continued from page 1 said a big part of that is retailers and Hartley business people who recognize and help to designate the business as dementia friendly. On Nov. 5 at Sidney All Care, there will be a fundraiser for the Alzheimer’s Society, telling the community about it and showing the the film Alive Inside, which is an inspiring and motivating film about Alzheimer’s. There will also be a silent auction table as well. Another workshop will be taking place at Sidney All Care in the evening of Nov. 18, where they will be reaching out to the business community and first responders, inviting them to come in for the evening with the Alzheimer’s Society, which will be talking about the initiative of making Sidney dementia-friendly. Everybody will walk away with a little certificate at the end that says ‘dementia friend’ for them to put up in their work site. They will also come away with strategies for their work site and how to make it dementia friendly. Bayshore and Sidney All Care will be holding private, six-hour training sessions for their staff within each of their companies on dementia for healthcare providers.

Dr. Muirhead I think I need to have a tooth pulled. I don’t want to but what are my options after the tooth is lost? – Part 3. Losing a tooth you’d like to keep is generally to be avoided, and fortunately a lot of teeth can be saved. Teeth help us chew our food, speak, support our cheek and lips and facial structure, and of course are a part of those joyful moments in life every time we laugh or smile. When you lose a tooth you lose chewing power, jaw bone, and your bite can shift in hard to change ways. It’s best to replace a tooth soon after losing it. My last two articles (read on our website) discussed the two best options for replacing a missing tooth—a dental implant or bridge. Those options are more natural, longer lasting and stay in place. Let’s discuss a third alternative a partial denture. A partial denture is just what it sounds like— part of a denture. It replaces missing teeth by attaching to those you have left with clasps or hooks with false teeth. Given there are longer lasting more natural options why do people choose partial dentures? Short term cost. But long-term costs for a partial denture (without any adjusting for inflation) can total even
higher then a bridge or implant. Why is that? The answer is maintenance and collateral damage. When you lose teeth you also lose bone—a partial denture can accelerate that process. Eventually, the denture will become loose and it will need to either be replaced or relined etc. Additionally, because a partial hooks onto natural teeth to stay in place, we often see cavities or damage to the rest of your teeth and gums as a result. Each time any work in your mouth is done it must be retrofitted to the denture. There are speech changes to adapt to and another “thing” to remember and clean each day. This doesn’t sound very encouraging! Despite this, a partial denture can be a great short term solution. The greatest risk of a partial denture is the temptation to pull more teeth later on and simply add a tooth to the partial. It’s a slippery slope. You might think I don’t like partial dentures—and you would be partially right! Although I wouldn’t want one personally, I do think they can provide a valuable service when chosen, and in some instances make a lot of sense. If you need help sorting out what makes the most sense for, you I’d be happy to help you make that choice.

J
ill Ann Siemens, founder of the Canadian Tenors composed the song Sempre Vicino: A Child’s Prayer for Peace, turning it into a book that will be launched and shown at the Peninsula Art Gallery on Sept. 19. The book came from the song that she composed after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York City. She said that after finding out there were around 700 children who lost a relative, she wanted to write the book, helping those who were suffering. She later entered the song into the International Song of Peace contest in Tipperary, Ireland in 2002, where it was short listed. She later performed the song in Ireland with Ken Lavigne and an Irish Children’s Choir. Siemens then won the prize for the International Song of Peace. Upon her return to Canada, her song was chosen to be performed for Queen Elizabeth during her visit to Victoria in 2002. It was also performed at Symphony Splash. Siemens wanted to create a Canadian tenor group and later founded the Canadian Tenors, who are now a roaring success around the world. They will be performing on Oct. 5 at the Save on Foods Centre in Victoria. “They’re very well known and well loved. I get letters con-

Sempre Vicino, which means ‘always near’ in Italian, is the title of the song that was later turned into the book.
The book was illustrated by Sheena Lott of North Saanich. Lott is an artist in her own right and has won many awards for her various children’s books.

Lott, who has completed 13 books, has a passion for drawing and uses her children or people she knows as models for her sketches. X She said the biggest 4 14 7 13 process 26 39 is thinking up various sketches in her mind to best portray the words. “I always do the best 13 I can and always worry that it’s never good enough and it never is in my mind… but I’m pretty pleased with this one, it’s been well received so far,” Lott said. She called her style of work realistic impressionism and all of the images are watercolours.

“You want to take a subject and change it and put your own feeling into it and make it different or better in some ways.” Lott said she is excited to be a part of the book and will also be attending the Peninsula Art Gallery with her illustrations to show the public. Some will also be for sale. “I thought it was very moving and I was just so honoured that she asked me to do this.” Siemens wanted the book to be shown to the public at a significant time as Sept. 19 is close to Sept. 21 — International Day of Peace. In 2016, Siemens hopes to launch the book formally at a big peace concert in Victoria on the International Day of Peace, which will then mark the 15th anniversary of 9/11. reporter@peninsula newsreivew.com
First rehearsal of the year for Via Choralis More male voices needed Carlie Connolly News staff
On Sept. 7 from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., the first rehearsal of the year will begin for the Via Choralis choir at the Saanichton Bible Fellowship in preparing for their concert. The upcoming program will be titled Autumn Leaves and will be performed Nov. 15 at 2:30 p.m. at St. Elizabeth’s Church. “It’s really an Artistic Director and ConNicholas Fairbank intergenerational ductor says it’s an eclectic colkind of choir, lection of choral music, varying from strictly claswhich is kind of sical composers to lighter, neat.” more pop style arrange– Nicholas Fairbank ments. The singers in the group range from the age of 15 all the way up to those in their 80s. “It’s really an intergenerational kind of choir, which is neat,” said Fairbank. The choir is looking for new singers with some choral experience — who know how to read music. They are also looking for all kinds of voices, particularly the tenors and male bass singers, as they are short of men this year. Those interested in auditioning are encouraged to contact viachoralis@shaw.ca. reporter@peninsulanewsreivew.com

Performance car dream track on track for spring The circuit, designed by internationally renowned Tilke GmbH & Co, will provide the novice an opportunity to gain proficiency, while challenging the more accomplished drivers. It’s what B.C. performance car enthusiasts have dreamed about for years – a first class, high-speed track. And that dream will become a reality next spring with the opening of the Vancouver Island Motorsport Resort, just north of Duncan, in the picturesque Cowichan Valley, less than an hour from Victoria. The centre, developed by the Island-based GAIN Dealer Group, promises up to 350 driving days a year, thanks to the area’s temperate climate. “This is not aimed just at people with very expensive, new high performance cars,” explains GAIN chief executive officer Peter Trzewik, who expects to announce membership details within a month. “We hope to see people with older model cars, who want to get out on a good track. We could sell out the membership immediately overseas but instead we are encouraging Canadians and people from over the border in Seattle and Portland. It’s important that this track is used daily.” And for around half of each month, Trzewick expects to see new car product launches, driving school courses and community charity galas and events. The circuit, designed

Phase One comprises 19 corners and elevation changes of more than 25 metres, with a length of 2.3 kilometres. Speeds of up to 200 km/h will be possible on the high-speed sectors of the circuit in the first phase. When Phase Two is completed likely a couple years later, a total of 4.21 kilometres of track will be available Trzewik says driver safety is a priority so there are state-of-the-art run-off areas providing

Debra Bartlett and Shelley Mann brought 100 Women Who Care to the Saanich Peninsula to recognize local charities and they hold their second gathering this month, after raising more than $8,000 in their first meeting. The idea came to Bartlett after attending similar events in Victoria. She decided it would be great to have it done here. They meet four times a year. “It’s so simple because it’s 100 women who meet four times a year for one hour. They go into the meeting, it’s very efficient, it’s all run by women,” she said. They nominate three different charities and pick one from a hat. The woman who nominated the person or charity gets to then stand up and speak for five minutes on why that specific charity should be chosen. Towards the end of the meeting, the women all vote and the winning charity will receive up to $10,000. In the first meeting they held, $8,400 was donated to the Cridge Centre for the Family. The idea is that each of the 100 women donate $100. “The Cridge Centre for example,” said Bartlett, “Shelley and

I read out the charity nominations at the last meeting because quite frankly I think there were 23 charities and I think we’d only heard of about six.” Representatives from the Cridge Centre will attend the next meeting held on Sept. 16 from 7 to 8 p.m. at the Glen Meadows Golf and Country Club. They will discuss what the money has done for them, giving those members who contributed feedback on what the money was used for. “To talk to the people who are going to benefit from this money was just phenomenal,” said Mann. “It’s amazing how many non-profit charities are in Victo-

Season opens for Peninsula’s Junior B hockey club News staff
Building talent for now and for the future remains at the heart of the Peninsula Panthers Junior B hockey club. The team opens its 2015/16 season tonight (Fri., Sept. 4) at 7:30 p.m. at Panorama Recreation Centre, hosting crosstown rival the Saanich Braves. Coach Rob Mortin is back behind the bench with General Manager Pete Zubersky. Mortin says this year’s group is young — with plenty of players moving up from Peninsula Minor Hockey — but is loaded with talent. “It’s a highly-skilled team,” he said. “I think we’re going to have a great season this year.” Second-year goalie Alex Olson is set to start in the home opener. He is backed up this year by Sooke product Shawn Parkinson. Mortin said he’s impressed by the new addition in net, who he said has been impressing everyone and could have a big upside for the team this season. The Panthers lost all three of their exhibition games at the end of August, but Mortin said they played a lot
of minor hockey players in those games, to give them experience and help build for the future. The Panthers list 13 rookies on a roster of 24 players. Mortin said they will be looking for a veteran defenceman and forward to shore up their lines, but still expect to train up local talent and create a lot of positives on the ice. Peninsula visits Saanich Saturday and welcomes the Victoria Cougars back home on Fri., Sept. 11.

I WOULD like to thank all those angles that helped save my life a month ago. Through my own foolishness the car that I was underneath doing amateur mechanical work on fell on top of and pinned me within an inch of my life. Special thanks to Jaine whose immediate response started the ball rolling in my rescue. Thank you to Tina and family whose calm and controlled manner expedited the rescue. To the strangers on Stellys Xrd who did what they could to lift the car before the emergency crews arrived and finally to the emergency response team of the BC Paramedics and the Central Saanich Fire Department for their professionalism and promptness. All truly angels. My ribs and collar bone are healing nicely and a full recovery is expected. Thank you Erik Grundmanis

Seeing a photo of her teenage self was the only part of the new Lynda & Murray Farmer Walk of Excellence that Nancy Mollenhauer didn’t immediately recognize. “This stirs up a lot of emotions, it brings that feeling back from
the 1980s,” said the former national team field hockey player. Mollenhauer started her illustrious career just down the road at nearby Mount Douglas secondary school. Now she’s among hundreds of UVic Vikes to be captured in the new Walk of Excellence along the hallway between the main foyer and the

gymnasium of the Centre for Athletics, Recreation and Special Abilities. The walkway was unveiled in a private gala last week. It will greet visitors to the Vikes basketball games at CARSA, the first of which is Oct. 2 when the Vikes’ men host the Carleton Ravens in the Guy Vetrie Memorial Tournament. “Back [in the ‘80s] you were a Viking or a Vikette,” recalled Mollenhauer, who was then Nancy Charlton. “It’s very powerful, there’s
so much history. We had a strong connection between teams back then. We’d support the soccer guys and they’d support us. And we’d all go to the basketball games. There was a real sense of belonging, of course, it wasn’t always about winning. You felt it if a team lost too.” The walkway showcases Vikes athletics photographs, historic memorabilia and success stories. Please see: Walkway about Vikes legacy, page 19

Last cottage on the bay has sold One family owned the small Sidney home for close to 100 years Steven Heywood News staff
F
or Murray Mackay, closing up the old family home in Sidney is with mixed emotions. He calls the place at 10301 Resthaven Dr., which sold recently, the last waterfront cottage on Roberts Bay. He says he figures the cottage will be torn down, likely to be replaced by two homes on the lot. Cozy Cot, as it was once known, was home to the Mackay family — and before that the Valis family and the Menagh family — for close to 100 years. Those are all branches of his own family, he said, noting he recalls growing up there, seeing additions put on the house and the forest nearby turned into homes. Cottages on either side vanished and today Cozy Cot is surrounded by larger houses. Mackay’s parents, Helen and Stewart, have moved into a complex for people 55 years of age and older — a typical transition for older residents looking for homes that are
easier to take care of — and easier on the pocketbook. “The cottage sold in four days,” Mackay said. “It just shows how valuable waterfront property still is in Sidney.” The home is surrounded by apple trees that Mackay said were planted when he and his sister Nancy were young. These days, Mackay lives with his own family in North Saanich and spent the last few days cleaning out the cottage. Mackay said he hopes some of the trees that have withstood winter storms over the years are allowed to remain standing. In the meantime, he said he uprooted some of the old rose bushes that were once tended by his family, and replanted them at his home — just one way of keeping the old cottage alive. The site, he added, has a lot of history — his own family history especially — and he said he will always remember it that way. “Who ever builds on this land and who ever lives here, is going to have a great view of the bay.”

The North Saanich couple made a $500,000 donation to support the project, which began a year and a half ago with story and photo collecting by the Vikes communication department. “When we built CARSA we knew there would be opportunities to provide a physical space that could honour the rich athletic tradition but we also wanted to preserve the McKinnon Gym legacy,” said Clint Hamilton, director of Vikes Athletics and Recreation. All 17 of the Vikes basketball championship banners will remain in McKinnon, a decision that alumni supported, Hamilton said. Instead, replicas are being hung this week in CARSA. Hamilton’s work has been crucial to the Vikes modern legacy, as the former president of Canadian Interuniversity Sport was a key driver to build CARSA and in instituting the annual Vikes Championship Breakfast which raises hundreds of thousands of dollars in student-athlete scholarships. The walkway is more than just an interactive display with digital touch screens that document past championships and awards, it sets a new standard, Hamilton added. “New students get a sense right away that they are part of something bigger and hopefully it will not only inspire them to reach their potential but also to do their part to uphold our tradition.” Murray and Lynda Farmer are longtime supporters of UVic and said they donated because they witnessed the positive effect of the university’s athletic program. “We were always inspired by how [UVic] athletes manage their time with school and sports,” Murray said. “It’s such a strict regime, and they often achieve academic excellence and have a strong community involvement. It shapes them as people.” — Saanich News
Piranhas swim club caps off a successful season SIDNEY — The Sidney Piranhas swim team made club history at the BC Summer Swimming Association Provincial Championships Aug. 21 to 23 with a ninth place finish in the provincial standings — a huge success for a small island club. This accomplishment capped off a tremendous season for local swimmers that saw multiple records fall and numerous medals won. At the Ray Newman Vancouver Island Championships on Aug. 7 to 9, 49 swimmers qualified for the provincial team — and the club won the Regional Director’s award. Swimmers also smashed 36 club and regional records. At the provincials, individual medal earners included, Ben Truong, Nate Truong, Erin Jackson, Caleb Stewart, Tabitha Craig, Colten Craig, Fynn Heaney-Corns, Lauren Mosher and Ian Williams. The division 1 boys relay team won a gold medal in
the medley relay (Frank Edgell, Noah Riedel, Justin Johnson and Liam Rankin) and a silver in the free relay (Frank Edgell, Josh Burton, Justin Johnson and Liam Rankin) and the division 7 relay team won two gold medals (Matt Jackson, Colten Craig, Cole Stewart and Caleb Stewart). Head Coach Tannaz Hosseini said he is very proud of the entire team. “This was the first time in a number of years where Piranhas had multiple senior and junior swimmers winning provincial medals and really proved that we have talented swimmers across all ages.” The Piranhas are already gearing up for the 2015-2016 season. Registration for new swimmers is Sept. 21 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at Panorama Recreation Centre. There is also an opportunity to do a free trial on Sept. 13 from 3 to 4 p.m. — Submitted by the Sidney Piranhas Swim Club
