Viking Air employees work on the first of 10 new Twin Otters that are being built for Russian oil company Rosneft.
Russian sales a boon for Viking Despite layoffs earlier this year, Viking Air will maintain production levels Jim Zeeben News staff
Viking Air in North Saanich continues to make inroads into important international markets. Earlier this month, the company announced a deal to sell 10 Twin Otter Series 400 aircraft to RN-Aircraft, a subsidiary of Russian oil company Rosneft. The first aircraft will be delivered this November with nine more following through to early 2017.
RN-Aircraft, based out of Krasnoyarsk, Russia, will use the aircraft in multiple roles, Viking said in a statement. The versatile and dependable aircraft will serve as 19-passenger regional commuter planes, corporate shuttles and cargo transports. “With optional float and wheel/ski installations available, the basic aircraft can also be modified for use in water-based locations or during winter conditions on snow and ice,” Viking said in the statement.

Cruising?
The sale provides a degree of stability to the company, which employs 330 people in North Saanich. The company has a total workforce of 420, including 90 at its final assembly facility in Calgary and a handful of regional sales and marketing directors that operate internationally. The company went through a difficult period earlier this year when it was forced to lay off more than 100 people. Please see: Viking produces 18 aircraft, page 2
A resident of the Pauquachin First Nation is worried about the safety of children in her neighbourhood after a large black bear was spotted roaming the area. “I’m just scared for all the kids and everybody,” said Donna Henry, after the bear was spotted almost every evening last week and has been in the area for a while. “It’s huge. We’ve never seen bears in our nation.” Henry said she warned Stelly’s Secondary School about the animal as she is worried for the safety of the community. Peter Westhaver, principal of Stelly’s, said the bear has been around for a while and that he has notified transportation along with the students at that time, adding authorities are the main ones people should speak with. “People need to realize you need to go to the authorities, they’re the filter on the wildlife,” he said. Conservation officers are aware of the bear sightings and said they had set a trap in the area last week to catch it. “We’re hoping to try to catch this bear sooner rather than later,” said Conservation Officer, Scott Norris. He advised people to clean up their garbage along with picking up fruit from fruit trees to try and prevent bears from lurking around their area. “We’ve educated the residents to clean up their garbage,” he said. Henry said the important thing is that people know about the bear in the area and take the proper precautions. Those who see a bear in their area are encouraged to call the conservation office service at 1-8779527277. - with files from Jim Zeeben

“While the Rosneft purchase is great news, and indicates a potential upswing in the Russian market, Viking will be maintaining our current production rate (and correlating workforce) until such time as the global demand for the aircraft requires we increase the rate accordingly,” said Angela Murray, Viking’s marketing and business development spokesperson. Currently, 18 aircraft are produced annually. The company doesn’t list the cost for producing each plane because sales are often packaged to include parts and services customized to each client’s unique needs. Viking said Rosneft selected the Twin Otters due to the plane’s ability to efficiently and reliably perform in extreme conditions on unprepared ground and short-field sites. “The selection of the Twin Otter by Rosneft confirms that this aircraft is a credible and cost effective alternative to heli-

Residents encouraged to sponsor refugees Central Saanich church community urged to sponsor Syrian refugees in Canada Carlie Connolly
“This is not new work for us,” said BryanScott.

On Sept. 24 at 8 p.m. the St. Mary’s Anglican Church in Central Saanich had a public information session discussing the private sponsorship of refugees. Sponsored by the Refugee Committee of the Anglican Diocese of British Columbia, the session was brought to the public to encourage them to work together in a program helping in the dire refugee situation. Reverend and Refugee Co-ordinator for the Anglican Diocese of B.C, Bruce Bryan-Scott gave the presentation on sponsorship of Syrian refugees and what the community can do to help. The main topic was private sponsorship of refugees (PSRs), which is a way for Syrian refugees to have a safe home on the Island. “It is quite unique to Canada. Other coun-

This came just after the emotional images of the Syrian child lying dead on a beach in Turkey were spread throughout the world media, which BryanScott said was when Canadians started to really become aware of
the crisis. “I don’t go looking for things that upset me,” he said. “I already knew enough about this. Very often the families are very emotional and I become very dispassionate. “They will get very happy and I won’t be happy until the families are here.” To find out more, contact refugeecommittee@bc.anglican.ca or call 250-889-8917.

Province to fund urban deer projects Tom Fletcher Black Press
The B.C. government has committed up to $100,000 a year to share costs of “urban deer management operations,” with an advisory committee to guide communities in reducing the risks and damage they cause. The province is responsible for wildlife management, but the government wants solutions to be developed locally. Some communities have resorted to killing deer, with mixed success and sometimes intense local opposition, while others suggest birth control, relocation or “hazing” of deer using dogs to keep them away from communities. The advisory committee, not yet named, is to continue developing standardized methods, such as how to safely process and distribute meat from deer that are killed. In rural Central Saanich, permits have been issued to use shotguns or bows against deer to protect crops. Another task for the committee will be to
develop public consultation on methods of deer control, to head off protests, legal challenges and vigilante action.
A B.C. government fact sheet advises that if deer are to be killed, they should be caught in traps that look like oversized hockey nets,
then shot with a bolt gun at close range. Please see: Towns must still get permits, page 4

Towns must still get permits Continued from page 3
Provincial staff can lend available equipment and issue permits to manage deer populations in or near urban areas, or develop hunting regulations for local situations. Using dogs to chase deer is illegal under wildlife protection legislation, but a permit was issued to Kimberley to do a controlled trial in 2013. City council declared the trial a success, at a cost of $300 or more a day to deploy trained dogs and handlers. Invermere council found itself embroiled in legal action brought by a group of opponents, despite a local survey that found more than 70 per cent of public support for a deer cull. Invermere officials were dealing with complaints of aggressive deer, deer eating garbage and appearing unhealthy, cougars encroaching on the community to prey on urban deer and deer deaths that appeared to be from

SHOAL Centre is an active place Weekend open house highlights everything the centre has to offer
Candidates talk climate on Friday SIDNEY — This Friday, from 6:30 to 9 p.m., there will be a federal election all-candidates debate taking place at St. Paul’s United Church in Sidney.

idney’s SHOAL Centre was a happening place on Saturday as Beacon Community Services welcomed local residents to a free open house encouraging active aging and a healthy approach to live their lives. Every year since it opened, the SHOAL Centre witnessed exponential growth in its memberships — 50 signed up the first year and 191 signed up last year alone. On the day of the open house, there were half price memberships offered, which helps draw people in to being a member of the community activity centre. The idea for the open house came from Activities and Rental Co-ordinator at the SHOAL Centre, Anna Hudson. “The idea of the open house was to begin to educate the community that SHOAL Centre is not a residential centre,” she said. A big thing for her, she said, was working to educate the community about all of the kinds of things that SHOAL Centre offers residents as one of the hubs of the Sidney community. There were many activity departments at the open house for residents to walk around and enjoy. There was knitting and weaving, clay works and ceramics, table tennis, woodworking and much more for people to see and do. From Hudson’s perspective, having been at the Centre for nine years as the activity co-ordinator,

Ride the wave of support
R
iders with the 2015 Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock team arrive on the Saanich Peninsula tomorrow (Thursday, Oct. 1) after nearly 1,000 kilometres of asphalt under their tires. Our community is ready to greet them, as local schools and businesses open their doors and individuals get ready to shave their heads in what has become the traditional way to do a little something to raise a few extra dollars (or a lot) to help the cause. Riders will glide down Sidney’s Beacon Avenue just after 2 p.m. tomorrow (give or take, as they make a variety of stops in the community prior to the official scheduled hour). So, be sure to line the streets if you can, and show your support for their efforts. That night, the Mary Winspear Centre hosts a special event — Comedy for Cancer — starting at around 6:30 p.m. (See page nine of today’s PNR for event details). It is the Tour de Rock team of police officers — both civilian and military — that raise a lot of money for the Canadian Cancer Society event. To date, the team of riders have raised nearly $400,000 themselves, en route to their goal of $1 million. The money raised goes to help support families and children from Vancouver Island facing cancer. Since 1998, the Tour de Rock has brought in more than $20 million. So far this year, the team is almost half-way to their goal, thanks to donors from up and down the Island. The fundraising is still happening and the donations are being counted, so updated figures are not yet available. However, to reach their goal this year, the riders will need your help. There are plenty of options to do so — from buying a ticket for the Comedy for Cancer event, to going online to the Canadian Cancer Society (cancer.ca) or the Tour de Rock webpage (tourderock.ca) — or even coming out to one of their stops en route as they finish the ride this week. It’s a great cause. Their efforts and the children fighting cancer deserve our support. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@peninsulanewsreview.com or fax 250-656-5526.

Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz went off on a rant about how this new “vision” would protect us from things like Volkswagen fiddling its diesel fuel emission results. The resolution calls for “access to justice when environmental rights are infringed,” which sounds like code for some sort of costly new legal aid program to pursue every individual grievance. Meanwhile in the real world, class action lawsuits are being prepared to gain compensation for lost resale value of millions of cars. This is what happens in fortunate places like Canada that already have access to justice.

LETTERS The cost of being a farmer Re: Farm Status Tax Is A Privilege . In response to the article in the PNR Wednesday, Sept. 2, I find it really difficult to digest the concerns that local farmer Neville Garner expressed about the ‘onerous paperwork’ he has to do to maintain his farm tax status. I have no doubt that Neville is a legitimate, hard-working farmer and I have worked for farmers like him growing up on the Peninsula. As someone who strongly believes in buying local produce, I fully support the ALR and real farmers in Central Saanich, however supporting the concept of farming needs to be separated from the topic of the property tax breaks all farms big or small enjoy. As a local businessman, like Neville, our company not only pays significant property taxes (dozens of times more than farmers), we are required to keep extensive records for all of our transactions with no significant property tax breaks being offered for doing so. Small business
faces prosecution if we don’t. We make monthly, quarterly and annual tax installments to a variety of government agencies and these costs continue to increase. In contrast, the benchmark amount of revenue that a farmer has to maintain to get a significant property tax break has not changed in well over a decade. There’s even a website, farmtax.ca, dedicated to help farmers find loopholes in the tax system. So please, show me the form or the receipts I have to show to the BC Assessment Authority for our business to get a status tax break. I would gladly complete any and all forms for the chance to reduce my commercial property taxes while I enjoy the amenities Central Saanich offers. Farm tax is a privilege and the paperwork to maintain the status discount should not be seen as a burden, it’s the cost of being a farmer. Jim Townley Central Saanich

Readers respond: Development pressures; downtown Need more doctors, not more houses So many concerns from the public regarding the development of homes and condos in Sidney and North Saanich. What concerns me is the lack of available doctors and the long waits in the emergency ward that will affect all of us as more and more people settle here and as the rest of us grow older and will require additional care. This is the reality and the seriousness of the situation as developers are granted permission to increase the numbers of new homes. Solve this problem before creating a catastrophic situation

Reduce taxes and red tape It was good to see that the large building proposed on Fourth Street in Sidney is to be reduced in size.That’s a start.

More than anything, we need an interchange that not only relieves endless congestion at the junction of Beacon Avenue and the highway, but encourages people to come in to our unique town. The confusing pedestrian/vehicle operation of the traffic lights must be improved. The parking arrangements should look after visitors as well as our own shoppers.

Get a bead on this weekend’s jewelry show Carlie Connolly News staff
The Vancouver Island Bead and Jewelry Show is back on Oct. 3 and 4 with makers and enthusiasts getting together to put on the Island’s finest jewelry event. The show was established in 2013 by two entrepreneurs, Cheryl Bevan-Gellor and Tamara Knott. “There was nothing quite like this on the Island. You find shows like this on the lower mainland, but nothing quite like this on the Island that appeals to people who make jewelry and also people who love finely crafted artisan jewelry,” said Bevan-Gellor. “It’s a wonderful project to be involved in and yeah it’s just really fun to be able to work and be a part of the community at the same time,” said Knott. The show will feature unique beads, gems and findings, locally handcrafted jewelry, live demonstrations and much more, bringing in more than 1,500 local beading and jewelry enthusiasts. Bevan-Gellor who had originally thought up the idea to have the event said it came to

The fourth Vancouver Island Bead and Jewelry Show is this weekend in Sidney.
Artisan jewellers Continued from page 11
The classes range from silver smithing to glass bead and non-hands-on technique classes. The two organizers said the response has been very strong from the community for those who have a passion or interest in jewelry. “We’re starting to see that the brand is maturing and people are remembering, ‘Oh October is coming up, must be time for the bead and jewelry show,’” she said. “We have an overwhelmingly positive result and you don’t have to be a jewelry maker to come out to the show, because we also have a lovely section of artisan jewellers,” said Bevan-Gellor. The show runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Oct. 3 and 4 and tickets are available in advance or at the door. A one day pass is $8 and a two day is $10. For those under 16 years of age, the event is free. People can go online at http://vibjs.ca/tickets.html to purchase tickets or for more information.

Singer Maureen Washington returns to Jazz Vespers NORTH SAANICH — Jazz Vespers at St. John’s United Church will welcome singer Maureen Washington on Oct. 4 at 7 p.m. She will be accompanied by John MacArthur on guitar and Joey Smith on bass. With a vocal style inspired by the soulfulness of Etta James and Carmen McRae, the modernity of Holly Cole and the playful-
ness of Jann Arden, Washington evokes comparisons to some of the great female jazz singers of our time, yet remains one of a kind. Washington began her music career in Prince George where she sang in a funk, blues and swing band named BOP. Now based in Victoria, she performs with many different configura-
tions from duos to sextets. She has also performed frequently at Victoria Jazz Fest and has recorded four CDs. Guitarist John MacArthur is best known for his masterful performances at jazz venues in and around his hometown of Victoria.
The Choir repertoire is broad ranging from formal choral works, to popular, modern, show, folk, New Zealand Waiata, sacred and gospel.

Panthers in for a busy week with three games NORTH SAANICH — The Peninsula Panthers are getting their youthful paws wet very early in the current Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League (VIJHL) campaign. This week the Cats will be thrown into the fire with three games over four days. The Panthers are slated to travel to the Q Centre on Wednesday night and will do battle with the Westshore Wolves, before returning to the confines of the Panorama Recreation Centre where they will host the visiting Comox Valley Glacier Kings. There will be no rest for the squad as they hit the ice again on Saturday. The locals will board the bus and head up-Island for an evening bout with the Glacier Kings. “We would really love to rack up three wins,” explained Head Coach Rob Mortin. “We have the horses to do it and now we just have to put 60 minutes effort in each time out. “I see the entire league as being very even and any club can win on any given night. I think three games in four nights is a good thing for us at this point in the season and I’m looking forward to our kids competing.” After winning a cou-

Panthers’ Captain Spencer Loverock goes head-to-head with Victoria Cougars’ Brett Lervold in VIJHL action in Esquimalt last Thursday night. The Cougars upended the Panthers, 6-1. ple games in a row, the Panthers were knocked off by the Victoria Cougars in Esquimalt last Thursday and then were downed by the Nanaimo Buccaneers at home last Friday night. “We came out flat on Thursday and didn’t get it going until the third period,” said Mortin. “And on Friday we came roaring out of the gates and dominated the first 10 minutes of the game and then we let it slip away. I really expect that this week and weekend will treat us good and we will get back into the win column.” Missing from the lineup last Friday night
were five key players for the club including Matt Forbes, Hunter Frampton, Koby Hale, Trevor Owens and Josh Poland. Owens and Hale will be back in and there is a chance a couple o f the other

It is with great sadness, that the family of Sandra Jean ‘Sandi’ Burchill announces her passing on Tuesday, September 22, 2015 after her brief fight with lung cancer. Sandi is survived by her husband and best friend, Tom, her amazing daughters, Arlene (Glenn) and Traci (Chad) and her perfect grandchildren, Megan, Emma, Hunter and Grace. She is further survived by her sister, Shirley Robinson, nieces, nephews, other relatives and many friends. In addition to her parents, Harold and Alice Langley, she was preceded in death by brothers Eric and Parker. Sandi was born on April 11, 1950 in New Glasgow N.S., the youngest of Harold & Alice’s four children. At seventeen, she moved from her hometown of Seal Harbour, N.S. to Halifax where she met her soulmate Tom and married shortly after. Early into their marriage the couple welcomed their daughters, Arlene and Traci. The family moved a few times, back and forth, between British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Nova Scotia before finally settling in Victoria, B.C. in the early ‘80s. Sandi went to work for Black Press soon after the family settled, where she spent the next 30-plus years becoming a wealth of knowledge and an administrative goddess for the company before retiring in April of this year. She was an active member and Deacon at Elk Lake Baptist Church and a prominent volunteer with Langford Emergency Support Services. Sandi was a generous and dedicated individual who cared for everyone that entered her life. She will forever be remembered for her kind and compassionate nature. A funeral is scheduled for 2:00 pm on October 3, 2015 at Elk Lake Baptist Church, 5349 Pat Bay Hwy, Victoria, B.C. with a reception to follow. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Sandi’s life. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Canadian Cancer Society. A Memorial website has been set up through Sands Funeral Chapel at sandsfuneralcolwood.sharingmemories.ca Please feel free to share your thoughts and memories with all of Sandi’s family and friends on the website. The family would like to thank everyone for their kind words, shared thoughts and condolences.
Over half of all households that rely on food banks are families with children.

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Wednesday, September 30, 2015
Yacht club helps clean up the beach CENTRAL SAANICH — Members of the Capital City Yacht Club scoured portions of Tod Inlet Saturday, Sept. 26 on a shoreline cleanup. Organizer Jennifer Lewis says they did the work as part of the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. She added that the club already provides volunteers to be Tod Inlet Marine Park Hosts throughout the summer, making the cleanup tie in with their current stewardship activity. On Saturday, 23 club members scoured the shoreline and surrounding park and members in a dinghy scouted the shoreline.
Members of the Capital City Yacht Club took part in the Shoreline Cleanup in Tod Inlet on Sept;. 26.
Another club member waded in a dry suit to remove underwater debris. In all, club members removed approximately 700 pounds of debris. Among the items removed: a rusted kids’ scooter, several doggie bags, toilet paper, cigarette butts, bits of glass, rope, scrap metal, old carpet and two hot water tanks. Capital City Yacht Club member Glenn Judson kindly arranged waste disposal and recycling.
