Ferry jumper arrested after swimming to Galiano Man deployed life raft before leaping into Active Pass Steven Heywood News staff

A man who jumped off a BC Ferry in Active Pass and swam to shore on Galiano Island the night of Nov. 4 has been arrested after breaking into a home. Outer Gulf Islands RCMP spokesperson Sgt. Rod Pick stated in a media release that a naked man, soaking wet, entered a house on Galiano Island and started to throw furniture around, causing damage. A woman in the home left safely and went to a neighbour’s house to call for help. Pick reported that the witness said the man was inco-

herent and did not respond to her. RCMP from the Gulf Island detachment, as well as Sidney officer and a police dog unit went to the area. Pick stated they discovered the man had left the house and walked to a nearby resort, breaking into one of the cabins. The man was taken into custody. Pick said police had earlier received a call from the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Victoria to assist in the possible rescue of a man who had jumped off the Coastal Celebration ferry en route to Swartz Bay from Tswwassen. Deborah Marshall, executive director of public affairs for BC Ferries said crew and passengers on the Coastal Celebration witnessed a man deploy the life raft and then jump into the water at around 9:30 p.m. A crew

The Spirit of British Columbia deployed a rescue craft after a man jumped from its sister vessel, the Coastal Celebration, on Nov. 4. BC Ferries was called by police, notifying them they had arrested a man on Galiano Island, who resembled the description of the person who jumped overboard. Search and rescue crews with the Canadian military and Coast Guard were also called to assist in the search. The man arrested on Galiano Island is believed to be the same man who

member threw a life ring overboard to mark the spot, she said. Both that vessel and the Spirit of British Columbia launched rescue boats to search for the man. Police and the coast guard were called immediately. “Our crews are highly trained and perform drills all the time,” Marshall said. “This was at night and it put our crew members at risk.” Forty-five minutes into their search, Marshall said

jumped from the ferry. He was sent to Royal Jubilee Hospital for an assessment. The man, according to police, is facing charges of mischief, breaking and entering and more. The RCMP also stated BC Ferries is also considering charges against the man, in relation to the tampering with lifesaving equipment. Marshall said the life raft was large, with a 100-person capacity. It was recovered

Thursday after it was found at Mayne Island. She said it would be inspected for damage, as it is not designed to be deployed while a vessel is traveling at 20 knots — which was the speed of the Coastal Celebration at the time of the incident. There were 333 people on board both BC Ferries’ vessels Wednesday night. Marshall said BC Ferries has more than 180,000 sailings each year and thankfully such incidents are rare. Approximately 10 years ago, someone made a similar jump from a ferry, she said, and swam to Mayne Island. Marshall said their vessels have gates, railings and fencing, however it’s difficult to prevent someone who is determined from jumping. — with files from the Outer Gulf Islands RCMP

SIDNEY — This year’s influenza vaccine is available at doctors’ offices, public health clinics and pharmacies across B.C. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall said the main flu season runs from late November through to next April, and cases of H3N2 influenza are already showing up. That strain affects mainly older people, while influenza B is expected to show up by February and spread among children. The vaccine is free for children between six months and five years, seniors aged 65 and older, pregnant women, aboriginal people and those with chronic health conditions, as well as caregivers and others who expect to be in close contact with higher-risk groups. — Black Press

Cutthroat trout and Coho salmon can now get to the upper reaches of Tod Creek with the creation of a natural fish ladder at Butchart Gardens’ dam. The ladder, or fishway, was completed earlier this month and was paid for by Butchart Gardens, although they are not releasing the dollar amount. General manager Dave Cowan says they worked with the Peninsula Streams Society, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, local First Nations and B.C. Parks to get the work done in a narrow window of opportunity. “The work is complete now and took about six weeks,” Cowan said. “It’s a more natural channel and in a short time it will be difficult to tell it is man-made.” Biologist and Peninsula

Steven Heywood/News staff

The fish ladder was carved out of the bank of Tod Creek, below the dam controlled by Butchart Gardens. Streams’ Executive Director Ian Bruce said the ladder gives fish a way to reach spawning areas higher in the creek. “Fish were able to get by the dam, but not easily,” Bruce said. “This will help make it easier.” Peninsula Streams has been working along Tod Creek for

years, he continued, helping restore habitat — something they plan to continue upstream, now that fish can better reach those spawning grounds. Bruce added the Society and other stewardship groups had been trying to get something like this done on the

creek for years and it took getting Butchart Gardens on board to make it happen. The area is within the Gowlland Tod Provincial Park, however the area around the dam is held by Butchart Gardens. Its use dates back to the early 1900s, when the area was home to the township of Tod Inlet and a limestone quarry. Today, Butchart Gardens uses the dam as a water source for its flowers and trees. With the fishway complete, Bruce said it will give Peninsula Streams volunteers the opportunity to conduct better fish counts — as trout and salmon travel to and from the spawning area upstream. Already, he said, fish have been seen using the new route through the dam. Cowan said the cost of the project was “substantial,” adding they were happy to work with community groups to make the area better.

Robber flees after clerk takes his weapon Employee thwarts man after cash in the register; police seeking information on the man’s identity Carlie Connolly News staff

Neve Kary says she thought someone was joking when they came into the Prairie Inn Cold Beer and Wine Store on Nov. 6, asking for money. She would later prevent a theft by taking control of the man’s gun, which turned out to be a replica. A man entered the store near closing time with what appeared to be a silver revolver and pointed it at Kary. She said when he first came

in, she thought it was a joke. She said being a block away from the police station and with his nervous demeanour, it just wasn’t something she expected. Kary said the man came up to the till and told her to put the cash drawer in a bag to which she said ‘no,’ laughing a bit, still thinking it was a joke. But with his more serious tone, asking again and pointing a gun at her face, she said she started to realize what was actually going on. Being a newer

opportunity to grab it. “It was all just autopilot,” she said. “I knew if I could just grab it without him noticing that I saw it that I could just get it and defuse the whole situation.” Central Saanich Police arrived at the store just before 11 p.m. However the suspect had fled. After realizing he no longer had any leverage, Kary said the man ran out the door. Kary said there was one customer towards the back who had crouched down when he heard the man. There were no other employees with Kary at the time. Police are asking for the public’s assistance in locating the man. He is described as a heavy set, Caucasian male between 5’7” and 5’8” and is described as being between 23 and 30 years old. He was said to be wearing a black, newer-looking motorcycle helmet when he entered the building, along with a black fleece jacket, black track pants and wire rimmed rectangular glasses with thick lenses.

OUR VIEW

Our duty to our soldiers

very Remembrance Day, people with long memories stand outside and watch as veterans and current serving soldiers, police and cadets march past on their way to a community’s cenotaph. November 11 is a day of remembrance, of the men and women who gave their lives in service to our nation and of those people who served and survived. Typical November 11 ceremonies tend to focus in on the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War and, in more modern times, Canada’s actions in Afghanistan and in other hot spots around the world. There is, however, another hot spot we should remember, and that’s right here at home. Those who survived conflict are often forgotten during this time of remembrance. In recent years, however, there have been plenty of stories of vets who have been left without support as government offices close and services are reduced or centralized. There is a hope that under the new Liberal government in Ottawa, that will change, and those soldiers suffering with illnesses and injuries at the end of their service will receive the respect and treatment they deserve. It’s one thing to remember and pay tribute to the dead. It’s another to pay our debt to the men and women who we, as a society, sent somewhere to fight or to keep the peace. Whether one agrees with it or not, the larger society we live in calls upon individuals to serve in a capacity that could see them lose their lives. We ask these people to put themselves in harm’s way when we — through our governments — need them to do so. It is unfair of a nation, or even part of it, to turn their backs on them when they return and look to re-integrate into life in Canada. Soldiers are asked to train to fight, to protect the country and express its interests overseas. All they ask is that they are not forgotten. As long as we feel, as a society, we have a need for a military, we must take care to ensure the people we ask to make a sacrifice are welcome and looked after when they come home.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett recalled that the society was established during the first years of Gordon Campbell’s government, a period of what Bennett called “religious zeal” for privatization. The society spends most of its budget restocking lakes with trout and promoting responsible angling, but its new 30-year service contract also calls on it to contribute to enforcement. This is the first year that has happened, and Polak said the extra fishing violation tickets indicate it is working. The CO service also works on cases such as the Mount Polley mine breach. It has a commercial environmental enforcement unit, a special investigations unit to deal with smuggling and organized crime and an intelligence analyst.

or many residents of the Saanich Peninsula, the McKenzie interchange is something like a person with a flu. Best if avoided. However, with the recent announcement of $85 million for the project, with $52 million coming from B.C.’s 10-year On The Move plan and nearly $33

million from the federal government’s New Building Canada Fund, it may be a part of our region that may merit visiting again.

from the issue of land use but also from a future planning perspective. Having community input is important but only if the concerns are incorporated into the final design, anything less is a farce. For anyone who wants to have a say on what is being proposed, the province has launched a dedicated McKenzie Inter-

change website where it now seeks feedback from the public and is hosting an open house, 3 to 7 p.m. on Nov. 17, at St. Joseph the Worker Parish Hall, 753 Burnside Rd. West. Eric Diller Sidney

Readers respond: Sending Elizabeth May to Ottawa — infrastructure and environment A can of worms on the highway I agree in principal with Richard Talbot (PNR letters Nov. 4) that MP Elizabeth May should attempt to appropriate a small slice of the pending federal infrastructure fund. However, the funding should be earmarked for the construction of a Beacon Avenue/highway pedestrian overpass and the completing of McTavish/ highway interchange project to upgrading its curb appeal. This unique gateway and adver-

tising platform is the fulcrum of which all three major transportation hubs to our Island community converge, imprinting a first and lasting impression on the visitor. Not realizing the site’s potential and due maintenance is another illustration of three levels of government blindly biting off more than they can chew with tax payers’ funds to influence short term local public opinion. After it is all said and done these government entities seemly wipe their hands and walk away from the

public trough as if their work is well done. Why build more local aesthetic infrastructure if the federal, provincial and local governments are unwilling to appropriately fund and maintain the fixed asset acquired? In short, let’s not pry open another can of worms when we are not willing to afford and commit to the one already impaled on the taxpayers’ hook Doug Lewis Saanichton

Electorate has spoken

In response to Richard Talbot’s letter (PNR, Nov. 4), in the off-chance they have missed the point, the electorate of Canada have spoken loud and clear — the Green Party is to remain without official party status. It seems (Justin) Trudeau has plenty of well-qualified MPs supporting the Liberal point of view. Why on earth would he look beyond that group for any appointments — especially from a party of one? Getting a voice back to the cabinet table occurs when a constit-

uency elects a member who is in sync with the winning party. It is seldom otherwise. Neil Lensen Sidney

SEAHORSES brings you CAFE Hamish Crawford and his family moved to the peninsula in 1989. They purchased the farm sight unseen and continued to expand both the family and the farm. The "Roost Farm Bakery" opened in 2002 and has grown every year since. A relatively recent addition has been the Roost Winery and Vineyard Bistro. This has included a seasonal outdoor Bistro patio with wood fired oven and some great wines and wine cocktails. A new building is planned to begin this winter to house these features year round. All the grapes are estate grown here at the farm and the majority are Seigerrebbe. This varietal is from Germany, a hybrid of Gewürztraminer and Madeleine Angevine, which grows quite well here. Three of our wines are variations of this grape and a

"Ginger Sweetheart" is our most popular. We take Our sweet Seigerrebbe wine and add a "mash" made up of fresh ginger (next summer we will be growing the ginger here too). It is steeped for up to a week and then we add citrus. This wine is popular in the UK and is very versatile with what can be done. We have great success in many different cocktails including a ginger margarita (with nutmeg), Moscow Mule (vodka and lime juice), Ginger Mimosa, Apple Ginger Martini and Whisky Mac.

Remembering our veterans is not for the birds T

his is a difficult day for many of us who grieve, especially on this day. We miss the loved ones who served in the armed forces, came safely home, married, had children and now have departed this life and hopefully are now enjoying a joyful existence in a better place. There is usually a well-attended parade to honour the veterans. Each year there are fewer of them but they still march with pride, shoulders back, head high and a look of well-deserved satisfaction on their now-elderly faces. It always reduces me to tears. They are an honour to their beloved

once you start, because the birds begin to depend on your kindness. May I suggest that you try a feed store where they have sacks of feed (corn, millet, barley, etc.) and you can choose the amounts you want. I used to feed the birds just outside the dining room windows, and really enjoyed their feeding habits. Some birds were greedy (crows, who made pigs of themselves when I hung chunks of solid fat from the branches of a Hawthorn tree) but the bushtits were the favorites. They were so nice to one another. If you start feeding the birds you’ll soon have a following that

will amuse and delight you all winter. The chunks of suet hanging from the branches of that Hawthorn tree nearly drove our Boxer dog crazy. He would spend an age trying to reach it, without success, or until we brought him inside when he and the cat would lie beside one another and watch the feeding birds. The cat’s teeth would chatter as she dreamed of catching one, but we kept her inside while the birds had their lunch.

Training for businesses, individuals coping with dementia Continued from page 1

“With support and understanding, people can live safely at home as long as there’s a community that cares around them and understands,” Hartley said. She added organizers are targeting businesses as part of the community initiative.

The training is also for the general public who are dealing with dementia in their home, who want to know more about how and what to look for and how to respond. Province-wide, the initiative was developed to reduce the stigma in local communities. In Sidney, there are two events promot-

ing the initiative. One was a movie night and silent auction on Nov. 5 at Sidney All Care, which Hartley said was a big success, seeing 135 people in attendance from the community. Pianist Sky Mundell played for the first 45 minutes before the movie, Alive Inside, was shown, preparing the audience for the inspir-

both parties, they don’t know what’s happening to themselves sometimes and other times it’s just a world that they live in and it’s very confusing to them as well as the person who is the caregiver…” said Frampton. Hartley said the event on the 18th is really where it starts to happen, with the education and helping the community learn about dementia and how to deal with people who may have it, along with families who are dealing with it . “It’s really for people who are either in the workplace and they want to know more

about dementia and the potential of having a customer come in the door who might have dementia or how they might respond or connect with them,” she said. The events are by donation and proceeds will go towards the Alzheimer’s Society to make sure that programs such as these continue on. So far, a total of $2,133.40 was raised by the one event alone and organizers will be holding open the donation opportunity until after the Nov. 18 workshop. reporter@peninsula newsreview.com

HEALTHY LIFESTYLES Trip of a lifetime for women’s hiking group Carlie Connolly News staff

Sidney resident Estlle Crews has planned an adventurous trip for her and five women she met through the Peninsula Newcomers Club’s hiking group. An avid hiker herself, Crews joined the newcomers club a few years ago. It’s a group of people new to the area who come together once a month or so to enjoy lunch or take part in different activities. After seeing each other at gatherings and talking about the different places they all have hiked, the women hit it off, with Crews beginning to plan hiking trips. One of those trips was Havasupai in the Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona, which the ladies asked her to plan since Crews has been on the hike many times. “I’d already hiked it four times,” she said. “Every time I hike out of that bloody canyon, I always say ‘I’m never doing this again, I’m never doing this again,’” she said with a

She, of course, did it again, during the first trip with the women’s group. Last year they went to Utah, hiking nine days straight at Bryce and Zion national parks. This year is their third trip and they’re planning on going to Panama. Crews is again doing all the planning — as

she was actually born there and knows quite a few people and places to go. “They call me their ‘fearless leader,’” she said. Travelling for most

Cariboo Express has raised $94,000-plus over eight years Continued from page 12

Steven Heywood/News staff

Barney Bentall often brings guests along with The Cariboo Express, such as Shari Ulrich, right, who joined him this summer in Comox. $250-plus sponsorship (bronze), for example, gets the business one night of mention, which advertises the company while introducing the next song. “So if you choose the Friday night show, you get two tickets to the show and your cheque goes directly to the food bank that you choose,” she said. Bentall, along with

the Master of Ceremonies, Matt Masters, will then write an introduction to a song, mentioning the business. Gentile said some of the intro monologues are long and involved and others short and sweet and to the point — but they are always hysterically funny. “One of my favourites is ‘here’s Kendel Carson to sing a song

called Baby Lay Down brought to you by Brentwood Massage and Physio,’” she said with a laugh. With around 24 businesses a night that get mentioned, the sponsorship money goes directly to the food banks. The first show will be Nov. 20 at the Friendship Community Church in Saanich-

he’s coming down from the ranch and he’s got a whole bunch of frozen meat and we’re going to have a meat draw and you’re going to have to figure out how to sell tickets,’ and he’s laughing at the end of the phone call and I’m thinking, ‘is this a joke?’” But it was no joke and they had to frantically get tickets together. The draw ended up raising $1,000. They also do a silent auction as well. Over the last eight years, the Express has raised more than

$250,000 for various charities in western Canada — $94,000 was raised for The Sidney Lions Food Bank and Mustard Seed Food Bank. Gentile said last year alone they raised $29,000. Breadstuff’s Bakery has sold all of their tickets for the Saanichton show, but tickets are still available onlinebrentwoodbay.info or at Lyle’s Place and Larsen Music. People can also contact Gentile at 250-661-4156 or by emailing her at lesliegentile@telus.net for ticket information.

Since the first show they did was right around Christmas time, Gentile said she and others thought it would be appropriate to split the proceeds between the Mustard Seed and Sidney Lions food banks. There are 12 musicians on the bill under the Cariboo Express — also known as the Gold Rush All Stars, which is the house band of four to five people in the group. That core of lead musicians all get up to do a solo or duet during every show. Each member of the group has their own music career, but they all come together every November to raise money for worthy charities. “They kind of come together and it’s a reunion for them all,” said Gentile. The primary way they raise funds, she said, is selling song sponsorships. Individuals or businesses choose a bronze, silver, gold or even platinum buckle level. The

ton and the other on the 21st at Centennial United Church in Victoria. Both shows will begin at 6:30 p.m. and will go to around 10 or 10:30 p.m. “We have people who come every year and they say, ‘this kicks off our Christmas season. It’s become a tradition for all of our friends to get together and go to the Express,’” Gentile said. There will be two full sets with a 20 minute break. Gentile said the event will also have a silent auction and a meat draw as well. “Barney started the whole meat draw thing.” she said. Gentile explained that she was sitting with her sister-in-law one year and said to her ‘you think you’ve got it all organized and then something unexpected comes along’ — and it did. “Literally my cell phone rang and it was Barney. And he said, ‘I forgot to tell ya, I’ll be late to the sound check because I’m going to the ferry to pick him up (his son in law),

Full speed ahead for club Saanich Peninsula speed skaters getting ready for Games Steven Heywood News staff

peed skating isn’t a high profile sport on the Saanich Peninsula but there has been an active club here since around 2005 — and it’s producing a collection of athletes looking forward to the 2016 BC Winter Games. There are around five skaters, all in their early teens, who have been working hard to qualify for the Winter Games this February 25 to 28 in Penticton. Coach Murray Byers says there are four girls and one boy eligible to go to the Games, but will face a little competition from the Esquimalt speed skating club. Esquimalt and the Saanich Peninsula are the Island’s only two clubs and share a common history. The local group, said Byers, broke off from Esquimalt when they had enough participants from the Saanich Peninsula to make a go of it. The club was led by Ian and Brenda Hennigar, national-level coaches and skaters, who have since stepped back from the club but leaving behind a core of coaches and volunteers able to keep the group moving forward. “Ian and Brenda are excellent teachers,” he said. The Peninsula group meets twice a week at Panorama Recreation Centre Arena B on Monday and Wednesday evenings and provides coaching and Steven Heywood/News staff

A division of

ice time for short track speed skating. Byers said they do offer some training for long track skating, but the focus is on individual and four-member short track events. The club takes part in two to three meets each season, most of which take place on the mainland. Then, there’s the Winter Games, which provides their younger skaters with the chance to experience a bigger athletic event. A highly technical sport, Byers admitted most people see little of it until the winter Olympics or world championships. However, the club gets skaters as young as seven and up to adult-age, out to train. For some, it’s for fun and fitness and for others it’s about the competition. Getting some of their skaters to Penticton in February is one of the club’s goals this season, Byers said. During the sessions, skaters don helmets and pads and a series of mats go up along the boards of the arena — safety first said volunteer and skater parent Dwayne Smith. He said they get new people out mainly by word of mouth. Most new participants know how to skate — mostly through hockey and figure skating — and get to learn new skills, such as how to take corners at higher speeds more safely. “It doesn’t take too long,” he said, “and they get going pretty fast.” Byers added learning to fall properly is also taught to the skaters — as it will happen on occasion. This season, with the focus on reaching the Winter Games, Byers said the skaters are doing some dryland training as well to increase their fitness level. Byers said the group of around 16 skaters or so is active and enjoy their time on the ice. “The kids really push each other,” he said. The Saanich Peninsula speed skating club takes newcomers at any time. It costs $20 per session, which covers insurance costs, and the club has the skates and other gear needed to get started. On Mondays, the group is on the ice from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. and Wednesday from 6:20 to 7:20 p.m. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Panthers’ Michael Neale rolled down the right wing and threw a shot at Storm Goaltender Andy Gilker, and a big rebound went right onto the stick of Panthers’ defenceman Ryan Warner who had joined the rush. Warner pounded it past Gilker to put the Panthers within three goals heading into the final period. The Panthers wasted no time when Kai Turner scored only 17 seconds in. Michael Sproule added a tally at the 3:09 mark. But the Storm responded less than two minutes later and then added an insurance marker with 40 seconds left to win, 6-3. Panthers’ goaltender Alex Olson blocked 27 of 33 shots. “We did not get off the mark like we needed to,” explained Mortin. “We talk about making adjustments so

Stelly’s season ends at feet of Spectrum Steven Heywood News staff

Spectrum moves on to the Colonist Shield final Thursday against Esquimalt, after knocking off Stelly’s in their semi final match last week. Played up at Centennial Park field Nov. 5, Stelly’s Secondary’s senior boys soccer team got off to a good start as forward Jared Canil put one past the visitors’ goalkeeper Sebastian Schwarz. The Stingers would carry much of the momentum and hold onto the ball for much of the opening half. However, Spectrum took advantage of their speed along the sidelines and before the end of the half, scored three times. The second half started much the same way and Stelly’s would pull to within a goal early, scoring to make it 3-2. Looking to press, Stelly’s had many scoring opportunities, including a rally in front of Spectrum’s goal. They struck the goalpost and missed two more scoring opportunities before Spectrum defenders would clear the ball. The visitors would add one more to make
