Gateway forum big on opinion
Short on detail as panel consists of no-shows Steven Heywood News staff
A public forum on the proposed Sidney Gateway retail project saw a good crowd at the Mary Winspear Centre, but few panel speakers. In fact, all invited speakers to the subject of the commercial site’s future either turned down an offer to attend, or cancelled before the meeting started. The forum was hosted by the Support Our Sidney (SOS) group, with a goal of educating the public and local business owners about the potential for competition — the pros and the cons — of the proposal. SOS spokesperson and main organizer Richard Talbot led the discussion. He outlined the project, being proposed by the Victoria Airport Authority on land west of the Pat Bay Highway along Beacon Avenue. “Suddenly, there is competition on the horizon,” Talbot said at the outset. “And no one was doing anything about it.” Please see: Questions speculative as forum lacked, page 4

Elizabeth May is your Saanich-Gulf Islands riding for another term. May was re-elected Monday night, securing 53.9 per cent of the vote and edging out Conservative Robert Boyd.
May wins in saanich-Gulf Islands Green Party leader retains riding as Liberal Party claims surprise majority government SIDNEY — With more than 80 per cent of polls reporting on Oct. 19, Elizabeth May has stormed to a big win in Saanich-Gulf Islands. The incumbent MP and Green Party leader, held on to her seat in the House of Commons as the Liberal Party swept the Conservatives out of power, winning a majority government in Ottawa. May was the first leader to call
Liberal leader — and new Prime Minister — Justin Trudeau, and expressed her joy that Harper is not PM anymore. “I asked Justin when can I see [him], we need to talk about the climate treaty ... in Paris.” May earned nearly 55 per cent of the total votes cast in Saanich-Gulf Islands (Elections Canada results as of the PNR’s press time, unofficial).
She was followed by Robert Boyd and the Conservative Party with close to 20 per cent. The Liberals’ Tim Kane finished third with close to 17 per cent of the vote. The NDP’s Alicia Cormier was fourth with nine per cent. “When the election was called I was going to be in the national English language TV debate,” May continued. “Unfortunately between

The national Royal Canadian Legion Poppy Campaign begins soon.
Poppy campaign starts this month
SIDNEY — The Saanich Peninsula branch of the Royal Canadian Legion has opened its office in downtown Sidney, getting ready for the start of the national poppy campaign. Organizer Andy Anderson says requests for contributions have been mailed out to 22,000 residents and Legion volunteers will soon be getting out to schools and the community at large with poppy sales. Not only does wearing a poppy honour Canada’s veterans leading up to November 11, the money it raises helps contribute to the Legion’s support programs for veterans. Anderson said people can look for poppies for sale by Oct. 31. — News staff

In comparison, the Liberals received almost 40 per cent of the vote, the Conservatives, 32 per cent. All vote totals are unofficial at this time. “In this context with great candidates, if we had had an English language national television debate we would have seen news coverage all campaign on four parties,� May said. “Instead we kept seeing three parties. That takes a toll on great campaigns. That and people saying even if you love the Green party you can’t vote green, it takes it’s toll.� Conservative candidate Robert Boyd addressed a crowd of voters in a quick speech in Cordova Bay. “I want everyone here tonight to reflect on the decade of accomplishment that Conservative government has brought this country and the things that this country now focusses on rather than the things in the past that we focussed on,� he said. He added that voters are always right and it seemed that they were looking for change. “Nothing shocks me in politics anymore. I’ve seen quite a lot in the last decade. I’m very proud of our record though, I’m very proud of the last decade that Prime Minister Harper has been leading our

With the Liberals winning a majority government, Boyd said the Conservatives will continue to serve as the official opposition in the new parliament and provide an alternative so that at the next general election, they can once again meet the country. “I’ve had the best time of my life meeting with people in our community, reconnecting with old friends ‌ being able to talk to people about the issues that matter most to
them.� Kane said the Liberals saw great gains in Saanich-Gulf Islands. “We had expected more,� he said, but we are very happy with (close to) 17 per cent of the vote. We were at six per cent in 2011.� Kane said his party’s majority was unexpected, but welcome. “Over the last week or so, the polls were trending well and into majority territory. We knew we were in at least
minority territory.� He said while he didn’t win here, he’s still breathing a sigh of relief that Canada now has a prime minister “who will speak to the diversity of Canada and to welcome others — including the Conservatives, who Justin said are our neighbours.� Kane added he was not surprised May won the riding, noting she is popular here. While he said May worked hard, her work now, as the lone Green MP in Ottawa, is cut out for her. May added strategic voting was the single main factor [working against Green], particularly in B.C. “I had people in my own riding I had to talk out of voting for another party because they somehow thought that voting for me would help Harper. “I sympathize with where their fear was coming from. NDP fed it hard on Vancouver Island that you had to vote NDP to stop Harper and you can see that the NDP was not the party to stop Harper. “I know there’s a huge base of voters in B.C. that wanted to vote Green and told me they couldn’t, but they all said, next time, once Harper’s gone, next time.� — with files from the PNR and Saanich News
Cormier, NDP upbeat despite election finish SIDNEY — A fourth-place finish in Saanich-Gulf Islands is not the result NDP candidate Alicia Cormier had expected, yet her campaign office in Sidney was still in a good mood, seeing a wholesale change of government in Canada. “This was a general desire to change the government,� said Cormier. “That was the main issue. It was not the result we had hoped for, but obviously the Liberal campaign worked.� In Saanich-Gulf Islands, unofficial election results put Cormier into fourth place after incumbent MP Elizabeth May (re-elected), the Conservative candidate Robert Boyd and Liberal Time Kane. “My hat is off to (May),�

NEWS REVIEW
Questions speculative, as forum lacked speakers Continued from page 1
In July, the Airport Authority (VAA) officially announced their plans to look into developing the 10-acre property. They had earlier entered into a memorandum of understanding with the Town of Sidney, which owns a small piece of land adjoining the VAA land. The partnership is to explore options. The VAA and its chosen project manager, Omicron, revealed preliminary site concept plans in July, showing potential for a variety of tenants, from a grocery store to professional office space. To date, no official plans have been submitted to the Town for review. At this point, the VAA is seeking to have the land removed from the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). The site is mostly federal land and technically does not fall within the authority of the ALR. However, the VAA has stated it wants to act in good faith. The idea of a new retail centre so close to downtown Sidney has created a stir — adding to local discussions about other proposed commercial sites at Jesken (Central Saanich) and Sandown (North Saanich). Talbot has called the Gateway proposal, “the best of a bad bunch,” but at the same time has stated there could be some positives for Sidney if it goes ahead. He said the status quo in the down-

A preliminary drawing of what the Sidney Gateway could look like. Actual plans have not yet been submitted to the Town of Sidney, nor are there any tenants confirmed, making discussion about the project speculative at best. town Sidney business community is “very fragile and unstable,” an opinion he has held since last year. “There is potential synergy with the rest of Beacon,” he said. “There’s potential for (Gateway) to create jobs and generate new revenue.’ On the down side, Talbot said Gateway could pull existing shops out of downtown Sidney, as well of
some of its bottom line. Such a project has plenty of other impacts, he noted, from its impact on transportation and the major intersection of the highway and Beacon Avenue. Talbot said it could also galvanize existing commercial property owners into creating an overall vision for downtown Sidney — and acting on it. “There could be a new vision for
what Sidney looks like.” Members of the audience were allowed to pose questions. Talbot tried to address most of them, calling on some members of the audience — such as local real estate agents and Peter Wainwright, the lone Town councillor at the meeting. People asked about the proposed tenants at Gateway, as well
as about the VAA’s other plans for its land. It’s a this point that the forum became very speculative. Talbot reminded the crowd that all plans for the site are conceptual, a fact echoed by Wainwright. “We won’t see development happening if they don’t get the Town’s approval,” he said. Wainwright noted that the Town’s MoU with the VAA will ensure that the airport authority will respect Sidney’s zoning bylaws. Questions ranged from the potential for a roundabout on the highway and downtown themes, to the idea of a hotel for the Gateway site and even one about the chances of all three developments going ahead. Talbot noted that many of the answers to those questions can only come when the VAA and Omicron are ready to announce actual plans for Gateway. “We probably won’t see large box stores in this development, probably,” Talbot said. “But we don’t know the tenants, so it’s hard to judge.” He said the intent of the SOS forum was to engage residents and business owners in the discussion — and to try to set the groundwork for his group’s message to Town council. “We need to start a vision for the community,” he said. editor@peninsulanewseview.com

Punctual duck returns to Roberts Bay Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon helps welcome back the Buffleheads as Naturehood program takes the lead Steven Heywood News staff
A lone female Bufflehead duck was spotted by an avid bird watcher on Oct. 15 — the very day when the little sea duck is expected. Every 298 days, says Bufflehead guru Kerry Finley, the duck makes its return to Vancouver Island for their winter stay. It’s a record of punctuality that Finley has been studying for years from his home on Roberts Bay in Sidney. Its record of being on time (even within a day or two) surpasses that of the more famous Swallows of Capistrano, Italy, Finley said. He added that the return of the Bufflehead is even more consistent than the result of groundhog day. “We’re privileged to have this bird here,” he said Oct. 15 at Roberts Bay, marking All Buffleheads Day on the Peninsula. All Buffleheads Day is designed by the Friends of SHOAL Harbour (FOSH) to help raise awareness about the sanctuary and the impact human growth has on bird and marine life. Part of this year’s event saw the arrival of B.C’s Lieutenant-Governor, Judith Guichon, who presided over a ceremony at Parkland Secondary School on Oct. 16. Guichon, who is from the province’s interior, noted that the Buffle-

Sidney is one of seven communities across Canada (including Regina, Montreal,
Ottawa, and Fredericton) where Nature Canada has found partners to help reach out to the community. Partnering with FOSH, Naturehood is designed to teach people, mainly youth, about green spaces and wildlife in urban areas. “Naturehood brings nature right here, where we live daily,” said Guichon. She added that the choices people make every day — from recycling to other environmental issues — make a difference to urban nature.

OUR VIEW
Voters lined up for change
C
anadians wanted change. That’s the clear message out of the Oct. 19 federal election, after the Liberal Party swept to a majority government, unseating the Conservatives in what has been described — even by Liberals themselves — as an unexpected majority. As of the News Review’s press deadline Monday night, the Liberals were elected or leading in 186 ridings across Canada, nabbing around 39 per cent of the popular vote. All results are unofficial, but it seems the so-called Red Wave has made its presence felt. While the new Liberal government was cordially welcomed by candidates in Saanich-Gulf Islands, there was some resentment that strategic voting — voting for a particular party for the sole purpose of changing government — cost the other parties and their candidates a chance at a voice in Ottawa. Elizabeth May retained her riding here — by an overwhelming majority — but she is the lone Green MP. The party itself seems to have lost ground, taking only an estimated 3.5 per cent of the popular vote, nation-wide. The popular MP will have a lot of work to do and hopefully she can keep up the pace she set over the last four years. The question out there now will be: can the Green Party gain any ground, other than in isolated pockets, such as Saanich-Gulf Islands? Alicia Cormier of the NDP in this riding also blamed strategic voting for her fourth place finish in the polls. However, this riding has traditionally been a Conservative stronghold, with May breaking that pattern in 2011. In the past, it was always the Liberals in second or third, as the right-of-centre won the day. So, the NDP’s finish isn’t all that surprising in Saanich-Gulf Islands. Only Tim Kane, the Liberal candidate here, did not talk about strategic voting. Why not? His party was the winner out of that battle. Why bite the hand that feeds? Congratulations to all the candidates in SaanichGulf Islands for a (mostly) clean race. Change is afoot across the country.

I’m told by federal and provincial officials that at this stage, the U.S. isn’t even taking our calls on the softwood lumber agreement, which Canada and B.C. want extended. Americans are preoccupied with the TPP and domestic politics. After decades of bitter legal actions from the American industry, the latest softwood deal has provided a rough peace. It set a floor price for B.C.’s allegedly subsidized lumber exports, with an export tax collected by Canada when the price went below the floor of $355 per thousand board feet. That money went back into our government general revenue. Higher prices meant no export tax was collected through 2014 and early 2015, and only five per cent as of September. Now that the agreement is expired, by default we have actual free trade in lumber for up to the next year..

Museum deserves a home
The highly disturbing news that the Maritime Museum is likely to close permanently, brings home to us the utterly reprehensible, historically ignorant mind set of our government. To let this museum of our capital city, whose history is so much infused not just with the nautical development of Victoria, but all of our province, just disappear is nothing less than a crime! It illustrates fundamental disrespect for the past. And this despite the fact that the 1977 agreement stipulated that the province provide a suitable facility for the museum.

Insurance companies are changing the way they do business all the time. Just when we think we have a handle on how they want things done, they come out with a program that takes a while to get used to. Their latest program involves contracts with certain shops to be their “DRF” — or Direct Repair Facility. All of the private carriers have them. We are on them. Not all, but some. This doesn’t mean you cannot bring your car to us to be repaired. It just means that when you are setting up the claim on the phone, you have to tell the adjuster that you would like your vehicle to come to one of our stores. The adjuster may say: “well sir/madam, we cannot guarantee the work from that store as they are not on our DRF list.” Let me tell you something. We guarantee all of our work and have done so since we started here 15 years ago.
ICBC specifically has it written into their contract that we provide a lifetime warrantee on all of our repairs. It doesn’t get much simpler than that. So if you are talking to your adjuster about repairing your vehicle, tell them that they can try and direct you anywhere they like but, ultimately, the decision is yours on where you would like your vehicle taken to be repaired. You pay your insurance premiums so they can have a job that pays them. You are the customer. Don’t let someone on the phone, sitting somewhere that may not even be in this province, try and dictate to you — the customer — where you can and cannot take your vehicle. In the words of the most interesting man in the world, “I don’t always rant this early in the morning, but when I do, it usually involves insurance companies.”

Central Saanich reviews grants-in-aid Neighbours don’t like housing plan Carlie Connolly News staff
Central Saanich council is looking at reallocating funds from grant-in-aid policy and looking at possibly reducing it in two to three years. Councillor Bob Thompson made a notice of motion Oct. 5, sparking discussion around the existing practice of committing one per cent of the municipal budget to the grants-in-aid program. Mayor Ryan Windsor said the grants-in-aid account has been growing while the municipality faces depreciating infrastructure and related costs. “All of these factors have led to an increase in the budget itself and so one per cent is now a much larger number. It was approaching $140,000.” Windsor said in talking to former council-
ors, including current councillor Chris Graham, the amount was around $47,000 some 15 years ago, which represented one per cent of the District’s budget at that time. He added the grantsin-aid practice itself is not policy and isn’t written anywhere. “It’s just been something that successive councils have inherited and followed in the absence of a written policy.” The discussion is about how they will allocate the funds for the program and where they might send that money if it’s not used for its original purpose. In terms of reduction, Windsor said that is one of the considerations, along with deciding who the municipality will fund. Other big questions are whether they fund organizations on an ongoing basis through grants, or do

In terms of the policy itself, Windsor said it might get more refined and may lead to a reduction in the overall money spent. Windsor said if there are any savings left after council has gone through the process and determining who they are going to fund and how, they will have to turn their mind to what the savings could be. “The general sense that I got around the table was this idea that it’s one per cent that has been growing sort of unchecked as a practice over the years from potentially less than $50,000 15 or 20 years ago, to now almost $150,000,” Windsor explained. “It’s not something that we want to continue with. We want to change that in some way.”

A proposed new housing development in Sidney faces opposition from neighbours over the amount of new homes it plans to build and how many trees it will remove in the process. Sidney council is reviewing an application for 16 new lots at the corner of Ardwell and Resthaven streets. The proponents are seeking amendments to accommodate their plan, which would replace two larger lots. Already, neighbours have picked up 200-plus signatures on a petition asking the Town to reject the plan. Council approved a motion at their Oct. 13 meeting to forward the proposal to their Advisory Planning Commission for review and consideration of some conditions they want on the plan — including keeping more of the trees on site. Coun. Erin Bremner said she would like to see diversity in the proposed housing. Coun. Peter Wainwright noted a public participation session the previous week saw a full room. He said his feeling was people wanted to keep more trees — however he noted that a pair of site plans from the developer does not save trees. Council voted to send the plan off to its APC for review and recommendations.

The Pacific Fleet Dixie consists of seven members playing Dixieland music, while the Jolly Tars is either a quintet or quartet playing jazz music. “They’re very popular because of course they look wonderful when they’re in their uniforms and they’re good musicians,” said organizer John Smith, who co-ordinates the event with his wife, Sue. The concert will take place this Sunday beginning at 2:30 p.m. at St. Mary’s Church in Saanichton. “It’s specifically designed to provide entertainment for the community in the area, mostly seniors,” said Smith. There will be three other concerts as well. One will be in November, the next in February and then another at the end of March or early April. Tickets are $15 each or $50 for four concerts. Children 12 and under are free. People can call 250652-5392 or purchase tickets at the door.

Odette Laroche gives painting instructions on the first ever paint and wine night during the opening weekend of the ArtSea Festival on the Saanich Peninsula.
Offering art to community First paint and wine evening kicks off ArtSea series Carlie Connolly News staff
The Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre was a busy place Oct. 17 as the first ever paint and wine night kicked off with Odette LaRoche giving instruction. For $40, patrons walked in and had all of the painting utensils they needed right in front of them to paint to their hearts content for two-and-a-half hours. There were two canvasses per person and LaRoche passed along an image to everyone, which was large rocks along with a landscape or seascape scene for them to paint into whatever they wanted. “Because their time is short, I try to make it the best experience for them possible,” she told the PNR at her studio in Sidney prior to the event. Usually the image she passes along to people is in black and
white because she doesn’t want them getting stuck on the colours in the picture. “The last time I did this, it was really interesting because I gave them a picture of a pile of huge rocks on the beach and some of them turned out to be big mountains with the sky in front and water down below. They removed it from what it was from just a pile of rocks into something completely different in their imagination.” On the paint and wine night, LaRoche created a chart of different colours, giving the patrons four colours to play with, along with the ability to mix them together to create new colours for their art work. “The secret to having a successful painting is to use two colours that are complimentary plus white,” she said. LaRoche said the finished products were amazing and
that people turned their images around making completely different things. “I think of it as a diving board, you’re on the diving board and you spring from that picture and you jump in and you do your own thing.” LaRoche will be giving the next paint and wine night this Saturday from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at Brentwood Bay Village Empourium. People can come in for a two and a half hour session, drink a glass of wine and enjoy the instruction by LaRoche. For LaRoche, painting is a way of expression and emotion. She said it can touch someone with the same emotion and she strives for that connection. “For me painting, as I paint, it’s because I love the act of painting and the colours and pushing myself a little further and really pushing the colours and the texture and the surface.”
Halloween Bonfire and Fireworks The District of North Saanich and its volunteer firefighters invite you to the annual Halloween bonfire and fireworks on Halloween night, October 31 starting at 6:30 pm.

ich, Evil Acres is always changing things up, with this year being the last year for Slaughter House Extreme, as the rooms, actors and some of the placements change. “To redo the whole thing every year would be like remodeling a 10,000 square foot house and changing your whole house every year,” said Mortimer, giving the PNR a sneak peak at the Slaughter House. This year there will be The Darkness Maze Phobia Edition, an outdoor maze for people to experience some of their common fears — such as a fear of clowns or a fear of darkness. There are 40 actors between the two attractions, chosen out of an audition process at the end of last August. “We’re always looking for fresh blood every year,” said Mortimer. The attractions open at the start of October, but are only open select days (listed on the website Evilacres. com). It’s open for the whole week leading up to Halloween from 6:30 to 11 p.m. and on Halloween 6 to 10 p.m. There are plans already for next year, with a completely new theme to mix it up and a remodeling done to the whole house.

In their first year, they gave to the Cops For Cancer charity, along with collecting donations for the local food bank.

Level Ground founder Stacey Toews gives a tour to a group of coffee enthusiasts.
Coffee company gets greener Central Saanich’s Level Ground introduces compostable packaging Carlie Connolly News staff
Level Ground Trading in Central Saanich held a tour of its facility and introduced its new, compostable coffee package. Starting off in the coffee room, Roast Master and Quality Control Specialist, Josh del Sol, made everyone a cup as they socialized with staff. As guests finished their coffee they were led in a discussion by one of the co-founders, Stacey Toews on the history of Level Ground Trading and the introduction of the 100 per cent compostable coffee package. The business started out 18 years ago in the founder’s basement with Fair Trade and no waste business practices as the focus. Since then, they have grown, with more than 5,000 farm suppliers from 10 countries. Their products range from
heirloom rice, dried fruit, spices to, of course, coffee. Toews and his wife Laurie Klassen, another co-founder, have created a relationship with farmers along with their coffee champion and business partner, Hugo Ciro (co-founder and CEO), who grew up in Colombia. “We’re right now roasting our 95th shipping container of coffee from Columbia and I think we’ve purchased (100) and every one of those is 20 tonnes of coffee, so it represents a lot of employment and a lot of people’s hands busy,” said Toews. Another deeper concept that Toews discussed, was that Level Trade is also in business to get rid of poverty. Oct. 17 was the International Day of the Eradication of Poverty and Toews said he thought it tied in nicely to the introduction of their compostable packaging. “It’s kind of cool for us because we’re talking about launching a compostable package which is all about selling better this great product from these awesome farmer partnerships that we have, and that’s why we’re in business.” Toews said their business model starts with everyday
behaviours. Since mortgages and clothing and food are where the bulk of the money goes, he said, Level Ground will look to leverage all consumer habits together to make the most impact on addressing poverty issues. One example, he said, is that last year, Level Ground saw 44,000 empty coffee packages retrned by customers. Toews said it’s a real vote from a lot of customers that they don’t want the product going in the landfill. “Food packaging is a big issue in terms of environmental sustainability and certainly because of our fair trades roots, our customers have always been pressing us for an environmentally appropriate package,” said Klassen. And so years ago they introduced up-cycling at the company, realizing the package just wasn’t sustainable. “Many times over the last decade, people have been phoning us up saying, ‘I love your package, I love your product, I wish I could recycle it, what can I do with it?’” said Klassen.

”Because we are going to make room for fresh,” he added. On Halloween night, Evil Acres will also be presenting Halloween at the Mansion, which will take place at the English Inn (in Victoria) for $25 a ticket. Some of the many things taking place that night will be a costume contest, door prizes, music and dancing. For more information, people can visit the Evil Acres Facebook page or website.

Edna Irene LaPrairie Edna passed away peacefully on October 15, 2015 at the age of 85 in Saanichton, BC. Edna was born on February 07, 1930 in Morden, Manitoba. She will be lovingly remembered by the love of her life Rene “LaPâ€? of 60 years, 3 AMAZING daughters Irene, Brenda and Andrea; 3 son in laws Allan, Andrew and Jeff and 6 grandchildren Jordan, Cassandra, Mikaela, Gabrielle, Maddison and Deaglan, as well as 3 brothers Jack, Cornie and Albert, all from Manitoba. Edna’s early years were spent on the family farm in Southern Manitoba where she developed her work ethic and strong family ties. She acknowledged and respected her Mennonite background and was able to speak low German and cook traditional Mennonite meals. When Edna was 17 years old she decided to leave the farm, the family and Morden and started the next chapter of her life. In Chilliwack she met Rene and after beating him in a badminton game it turned out to be a match made in heaven. They married on September 17, 1955 and never looked back! Edna and Rene loved to travel and spent many grand adventures travelling the world. They spent their early years stationed in Werl, Germany where Rene served with the Canadian peace keeping forces. With a second hand Mercedes they travelled Europe! Over the years Mom’s love of travel continued with trips to Hong Kong, Australia, Yukon, cruises and home to the family farm in Morden. Upon arrival back to Canada they started their family in the midst of transfers to Vancouver BC, Bagotville QB, Halifax NS, Comox BC, Goosebay, NF and back to the West Coast to settle in Sidney BC in 1972. Words best to describe Edna are: artistic, creative, shy, loyal, stubborn, faithful, outspoken, driven and family focused. Throughout her life many hours were spent oil painting, crafting, needlepoint and her favourite pastime of all was ceramics and china painting. Family and friends over the years have been showered with Edna’s beautiful ceramics. She would prefer to give homemade gifts over store bought. She was also very generous with her time and spent countless hours volunteering in her Church, community as well as babysitting grandchildren. Edna and Rene volunteered with the PCA, Beacon and Shoal centre for over 40 years and received many service awards including the “Hearts of the Community.â€? She was also a Girl Guide leader, Sunday school teacher and a member of the Saanich Pioneers Society. She was actively involved in St. Paul’s United Church. Edna was ahead of her time with recycling and going green and passed this on to her girls. From hanging the laundry to water restrictions this was a story in itself‌ Over the years, 3 children later and umpteen moves and transfers, something that always bothered Edna was that she had never received a high school diploma. As an inspiration to her family at age 52 Edna went back to high school at Parkland Secondary school and graduated with honours in 1982. This was one of her proudest moments when she marched onto the stage in cap and gown with all the teenagers. Edna loved living in Sidney and especially at “Maryland.â€? She adapted to her new home at Saanich Peninsula Hospital following her stroke in 2013 and was surrounded by friends and wonderful caregivers. Ice cream sundaes in the garden and time with Rene and family gave many hours of joy and comfort. Edna had a full life with her girls, son in laws, grandchildren, 3 brothers, pets, gardening, walking and going for coffee with LaP. The family would like to express their sincere thanks to the many caregivers at SPH, ECU1 and Aberdeen. There will be a viewing at First Memorial Funeral Service 4725 Falaise Drive,on Wednesday October 21, 2015 from 2:00pm to 4:00pm. A Celebration of Life will be held at St. Paul’s United Church 2410 Malaview Ave, Sidney, BC, on Friday, Oct. 23 at 1 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Edna’s name to Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation.

NEWS REVIEW
Coffee flavours are explored in a sample cupping Continued from page 17
With the certified one hundred per cent compostable package being new in the industry, it boasts many benefits. Klassen said once people are done with the package, it can go into a composting facility and break down in 180 days, the carbon footprint then being reduced.
Cupping at Level Ground At the end of the tour, history and introduc-
tion of their compostable packages, came the cupping process at Level Ground. Guests were able to smell and slurp different types of coffee — not unlike a typical wine tasting. A long table was lined with small cups of coffee and Roast Master and Quality Control Specialist, Josh del Sol gave a short lesson on the formalized tasting process known as cupping. “It’s seen as sort of a higher end type of tasting but it really is
Carlie Connolly/News staff
A cupping involves small batches of ground beans, hot water, a spoon and a nose for aroma and flavour.
the most basic level of tasting that you can encounter,” he said to the group of observers. All it takes, he explained, is hot water, coffee, a bowl and a spoon to taste it with. He said that when it comes to cupping with the team at Level Ground, there are two main purposes. The first is that they are roasting a small batch of grain coffee to make sure it tastes a certain way. The secondary cupping is post roasting, like a post production roast where they make sure they have their flavour profile on track.
“We use the word profile a lot but it’s really just an expression of taste,” he said. Similar to wine tasting, the process is straightforward — sniffing the dry grounds after letting the hot water be poured in and steeped for four minutes or so. Klassen said that cupping has become a lot more transparent, saying that companies do this in order to evaluate. “When you’re buying an entire container that’s $100,000 worth of coffee, you need to know what you’re buying,” she told the PNR.

Panthers ride out the Storm up at Panorama NORTH SAANICH — In the friendly confines of the Panorama Recreation Centre Friday, Oct. 16, the Peninsula Panthers were Riders of the Storm, as they clawed their way to a heart-pounding 3-2 win. But on Sunday afternoon up in Campbell River, the same two clubs tangled in the back end of the homeand-home weekend series and this time, the Panthers were declawed. Campbell River opened up a 5-0 lead midway through the first period on Sunday and Peninsula quickly became Storm chasers. The locals could not quell this Storm and were upended after all was said and done by a 6-2 count. In Friday’s match, Cam Thompson opened the scoring for Peninsula late in the first period. With only 1:46 having been played in the second frame, it was the Storm’s Colin Blake who would knot the score after a defensive miscue. That allowed Blake to walk in all alone on Panthers’ starting goaltender Alex Olson. Midway through the stanza, Matt Forbes blasted a shot from the left point that bounced off the chest of the visitors’ stopper Billy Gorn. The Panthers’ Kai Turner wasted no time in banging home the rebound. Before the period was over the Storm would strike once again. At the 12:22 mark, Brett Witala beat Olson and the two teams retired to the dressing rooms tied at 2-2. This set the stage for Thompson’s heroics.

Name: Elizabeth (Beth) Hill Age: 9 Team: Peninsula Eagles Atom C (female) Position: Right wing Favourite Panther: Koby Hale Sent in all alone on a nifty pass from Forbes, Thompson waited until Gorn dropped to his knees and then he deftly ripped the disk over his glove hand to the awaiting cage. Both teams exchanged several chances and the Storm yanked their goaltender in the last minute for the extra attacker . Olson held firm and the Panthers walked away with the 3-2 win. On Sunday, 16-yearold Shawn Parkinson got the start between
the pipes for Peninsula and perhaps a ramped-up crowd gave the youngster a bit too much to think about. Only 14:36 into the game, Parkinson had given up five goals and that would spell the end to his night. Olson went into the game and allowed only one goal the rest of the way. His teammates responded with two second period tallies by Ty Hermsen and Thompson. But it clearly was too little too late.
“I liked our weekend,” explained Pete Zubersky, Panthers’ general manager. “We played hard both and competed for both games. “One went our way and the other one did not but that is hockey. Parkinson would have liked to have started over in Campbell River but he is such a young goaltender and that was a big stage for him. I know that next time he will be way better, this is just part of the development track for young players like him. “I told him on the bench that he will play great next weekend and will win a big game for us, it was still a hard pill for him to swallow. The kid is going to be a really good one, he cares a lot.” The Panthers take on the Kerry Park Islanders on Friday night back at Panorama in a big Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League South Division tilt.

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Wednesday, October 21, 2015
CENTRAL SAANICH — The investigation into the missing $40,000 from the Keating Parent Advisory Council (PAC) is still ongoing, according to Central Saanich Police Chief Les Sylven. The Peninsula Co-op came forward with a donation of $30,000 towards the building
of a new playground. As well, $40,000 worth of design material and installation work was donated by Garden City Tree and Landscape. Their donation came days after Co-op made their announcement. “They both quite happily have indicated that they would work
together and in concert to create a combined play structure and nature scape,” said Assistant Superintendent, Scott Stinson. The PAC is working on creating safeguards. Stinson said amendments to their bylaws and constitution will be some of them.
Feeling a little peckish Standing on guard, a hawk protects its kill after nabbing another bird. The hawk was spotted in Central Saanich, near the Newton Farm.
“I know that they’re working in collaboration with our district PAC as well as the BC PAC, which is the pro-
vincial organization, to ensure that they do adjust their bylaws and constitution.” — News staff
