Hospital gala gets 100 grand Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation event tops $100,000 Carlie Connolly News staff

The Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation’s 30th Anniversary Gala raised more than $100,000 this fall — the most they have ever raised. That cash capped off the Foundation’s 2014/2015 campaign for a new sterilization department, the construction of which will likely start next spring. “The money is in place and they have met with all of the architects and the planners within Island Health so we are set to go in late spring here,” said Renn Bibeau, manager of donor relations. The gala, presented by Peninsula Co-op, saw not only the largest amount, but also the most attendees. Steven Heywood/News file

Panorama Recreation Centre in North Saanich is home to many activities that take place on the Saanich Peninsula, including the annual Touch a Truck event (pictured). A new Peninsula Recreation Commission five-year plan continues to ensure it remains a hub of recreation, arts and community activities.

Strategy set for local recreation Peninsula Recreation Commission sets goals for Panorama Rec. for five years Steven Heywood News staff

A new five-year strategic plan has the Peninsula Recreation Commission looking squarely to the community for direction on recreation programs on the Saanich Peninsula. The Commission on Nov. 12 released its strategic plan, outlining four key priorities

— facility needs, food services at Panorama Recreation Centre, an expansion of art-based programs and services and enhancing existing programs and services offered on the Peninsula. All four areas, says Lorraine Brewster, acting senior manager of Panorama Recreation, have strong public input components and collaboration with various segments of the

community woven in to them. “These priorities are not listed in order of preference,” Brewster noted. “For example, facility needs is listed first but it’s not necessarily where we’ll start. We heard from the community that in recreation programs and services, residents want more.” PleaSe See: Evaluation still to come on local, page 5

Their report, presented Nov. 13 to the B.C. government, calls for more measures in schools in addition to the ERASE (Expect Respect And a Safe Education) strategy put in place in 2012. That strategy provides for anonymous reporting by students or parents of bullying, either online or in person. The report calls for the education ministry to “ensure that developmentally appropriate learning objectives about cyberbullying and digital citizenship be included in the provincial school curriculum and delivered to all school-age children as soon as possible.” Education Minister Mike Bernier said the new school curriculum, which began implementation this fall, already includes “a focus on bullying behaviour and discrimination starting in Grade 4.”

Interchange work to start in a year VICTORIA — The B.C. government has presented three possible designs for a new interchange at Highway 1 and McKenzie Avenue north of Victoria, which Transportation Minister Todd Stone has called the worst traffic bottleneck in B.C. Stone said Monday there will be extensive consultations with area residents on the options but the intent is to have “shovels in the ground” by late 2016 and the interchange open by the fall of 2018. Stone said the ministry is confident all three options can be built within the $85 million budget of the project.

Tim Tanton is Sidney’s director of engineering, parks and works, overseeing a broader range of departments following a staff reorganization.

Staff changes at Sidney town hall Steven Heywood News staff

A change in staffing at Sidney town hall has led to a small reorganization among its employees. Former planner Marlaina Elliot is not longer employed by the municipality, says Chief Administrative Officer Randy Humble and her departure has led to the creation of a single director’s position that will oversee Sidney’s planning and engineering departments. Tim Tanton, the director of engineering and public works, has taken on the role of director of engineering, parks and works. Humble said the position takes the lead over the Town’s planners, engineers and public works staff. “It’s a common practice,” Humble explained, “to have a single director for both the engineering and plan-

ning departments.” He said the change is an opportunity for the Town to create efficiencies and allow for better communications between two areas of municipal operations that deal with development projects. The reorganization also creates a new job, that of Development Coordinator. It’s a union job with a focus on linking the work of both departments and improving customer service in both areas. This position is currently being filled. Humble said the Town will look within its ranks first, before posting the job to the general community. Within planning, Allison Verhagen is the manager, alongside planner Corey Newcombe. In engineering, Mike van der Linden remains manager. Both managers report to Tanton.

Brewster said all of the communities on the Saanich Peninsula must have a voice regarding program delivery and facility location. Central Saanich residents, she said, have for years sought a local recreation facility and that was included in past strategic plans. Brewster said that goal was not reached the last time around and the Commission didn’t hear the issue as strongly this time.

OUR VIEW

Hiding won’t solve anything

n the emotional outpouring following last Friday’s terrorist attacks in Paris, France, people looked for some way, any way, to show their sympathy for the French people — and their anger over a cowardly brutalization of civilians. However we need to go beyond mindless rants and the superimposing of flags over social media profile pictures, neither of which really accomplish anything. The question we must ask ourselves as a Canadian society is: what are we going to do, to try to have a positive influence on the threat posed by terrorist groups around the world? Is a military response warranted in some form? What about foreign aid to people and organizations trying to keep legitimate refugees alive? These are hard questions — and simple rants in reaction to the attacks are just not going to provide any serious answers. At the same time as we consider Canada’s security and that of the rest of the world, do we allow our principles as Canadians to change because brutal thugs try to change the playing field? Just whose ground rules do we want to follow? And will Canadians turn their backs on people in need of our help to escape lives filled with such brutality? So many people are trying to enjoy the freedoms we take for granted, that it would seem cruel to simply shut the door — an argument which seems to be colouring the debate following the Paris attacks. Canada has allowed refugees into the country many times over our country’s history and now we are being asked to accommodate more. It could be argued that the new government in Ottawa was elected, in part, based on their stance to live up to Canada’s commitment to the refugee crisis in Syria. If Canada wants to live up to our commitments to the world community, and not just pay lip service, then the government must put its resources into proper refugee screening — and still look to welcome refugees who want new lives. We can close the door to terrorism all we like, but let’s not hide behind that same barrier. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@peninsulanewsreview.com or fax 250-656-5526.

allegations of subsidizing fossil fuels, actual subsidies are huge in petrostates like Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Algeria and Indonesia, where gasoline sells on average at a third of Canadian prices. China and India’s carbon emissions have about tripled since the Kyoto public relations gesture in 1997. That growth is one reason why Canada’s share of global emissions has now fallen to below two per cent. Here in B.C., Clark intends to unveil her “Climate 2.0” plan before heading to Paris. We’ll see if it includes another increase in B.C.’s vaunted carbon tax, which now translates to about seven cents on a litre of gasoline. Even without carbon taxes, about a third of the pump price Canadians pay is federal, provincial and local tax. In Metro Vancouver, it’s closer to 40 per cent. In Venezuela, a big winner in the Keystone XL decision, gas sells for around two cents a litre. The B.C. government admits its post-carbon tax reduction in greenhouse gas emissions was largely due to the global recession of 2008-09. Now with crude oil at historic low prices, B.C.’s carbon tax is a weak signal lost in the noise of a worldwide glut of oil and gas. Tom Fletcher is the legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

LETTERS Roundabouts are not all bad Re: McKenzie interchange design must be collaborative (PNR Nov. 11). I could not agree more with most of the sentiments expressed in this letter. All too often we get landed with a design that looks good on paper but fails in practice. However I must take issue with the comments regarding the McTavish intersection. It was a bold move to incorporate roundabouts. Sure it is different. However traffic authorities across North America are waking up to several key facts: They are much safer because drivers only have to deal with traffic from one direction. They are more efficient — yield rather than stop. The much loved (or hated) fourway stop is unique to our backwards way of thinking and more suited to horses than vehicles. Many driv-

U.S. The other option, favoured in the U.K., is to build two bridges and make the intersection one large roundabout. It does take a bit more space and is more expensive but it works well and traffic can move round it without slowing quite as much as the small roundabouts require. Quite likely this design would be ideal at McKenzie. Ideally, from the car viewpoint, we would

Catching one’s breath before planting again

ere I had thought that we could have a rest for a couple of months at least — but now the mail is full of advertisements for spring flowering bulbs. They are, of course, beautiful and alluring but have a heart, you nursery owners, and let me catch my breath before I feel I better get going and purchase my spring flowering bulbs before they are all picked over, the biggest and best gone and only the small sort-of-shrivelled ones left. It’s a merchandising trap, of course. You and the garden aren’t yet ready to plant them and what are you going to do with two dozen narcissus, three dozen tulip, six big fat hyacinth and 50 crocus Helen Lang bulbs when the flower beds Over the Garden are still full of blooming gladiFence ola, gaillardia, azaleas and those huge gorgeous chrysanthemums? When I first started gardening I bought my bulbs early and stored a lot of them in the fridge — displacing Jim’s (my late husband) cache of beer. Not a popular move. It wasn’t a good idea, anyway. The bulbs decided it was winter and soon began to send out roots, muscling out the milk, eggs, butter and a variety of soup bowls containing leftovers. I had to plant them outside, or put up with a hostile husband. So out I went, planting them wherever there was an empty spot. Not exactly a well-planned flower bed, but they didn’t seem to mind and the following spring I had an interesting but odd mixture, admired by some people, and politely ignored by others. I thought it was beautiful. Don’t go by me, though. I’ve never seen a flower I didn’t admire. Helen Lang has been the Peninsula News Review’s garden columnist for more than 30 years.

Helping fill kids’ dreams Help Fill A Dream Foundation teams with Country Grocer Carlie Connolly News staff

Country Grocer is celebrating their fifth year of making dreams come true by helping children with life-threatening conditions on Vancouver Island through every Dream Bouquet donation or Island-grown Christmas tree sold. The bouquets are being sold until December 12 and the trees will be sold through December. All of the proceeds will go to the Help Fill a Dream Foundation. The campaign is Island-wide with all of the other Country Grocer Stores participating. “It’s really a labour of love on behalf of all the employees at Country Grocer, especially their frontline staff, they’re the ones that are asking for the donations at the till and they’re the ones that are promoting what’s going on in the floral department and all of that sort of thing,” said Craig Smith, executive director of the Foundation. The launch of the seasonal campaign took place Nov. 12 at Eurosa Farms in Brentwood Bay. Eurosa Farms designed and supplied the Dream Bouquets, which make up a large part of the annual campaign. Also at the launch was Emma Smith, who has a form of cancer called pineoblastoma. Her dream came true in June 2015 when she and her family went to Hawaii to see a volcano, enjoy a luau and relax on the beach. “This year Country Grocer has one of their actual B.C. pasta sup-

With Help Fill a Dream celebrating 30 years, Smith said the campaign has grown quite a bit. Over the past five years, Country Grocer has raised more than $50,000 and Marketing Manager with Country Grocer, Tammy Averill said more than $14,000 was raised last year through their stores. She said it would be great to do that again this year. “We do quite a few things. Our staff bought buttons that they’re

wearing throughout the month. The customers can buy a Dream Bouquet, so we’ve got a fall one that runs for two weeks and then we have a winter one that runs for the first two weeks of December,” she said. Three dollars from the sale of every bouquet goes to Help Fill a Dream. They also sell Islandgrown Christmas trees (from Mill Bay) that arrive Nov. 29. $2 from every tree goes to Help Fill a Dream as well. Country Grocer also sells $2 vouchers at the till, with all proceeds going to support the foundation. Please see: Dreams coming true, page 18

Sister cities share the arts Carlie Connolly News staff

Many artists and members of the community, including Sidney Mayor Steve Price joined together in an art exchange in Anacortes, Washington titled the Salish Sea Art Exhibit, bringing art together between the two cities. The art exchange is the first half, with a reciprocal visit taking place next spring in Sidney, with artists’ work from Anacortes being brought here. The initial event took place on Nov. 6 and 7 with a special showing on the 5th. Price went over to Anacortes with members of the Sidney Sister Cities Association. “We’re just encouraging that dialogue

Over 40 Sidney artists’ work was hung at the Depot Arts & Community Center for the three days. As a special

gift from Sidney, Price presented Anacortes Mayor Laurie Gere with a gold leaf painting original from Sidney artist Richard Julien to hang in their town hall. Price also had a tour of Sidney’s sister city. “Anacortes in a way

is just a slightly larger version of Sidney. They have quite a large marina ...” said Price. Next May, Sidney will host the art show with work from Anacortes artists. “We’re all just looking at ways to really just increase everybody’s awareness of who we are, where we are, what we have to promote tourism, to promote the arts,” said Price. Price noted that on Friday nights in Anacortes, they have what is called an Art Walk once a month where the whole town comes out with all of the galleries open at night along with all of the restaurants.

DU dinner at Winspear Carlie Connolly News staff

This Saturday, Nov. 21, Ducks Unlimited Canada will be making a stop at Sidney’s Mary Winspear Centre for a night of great food, raffle prizes, a silent auction and more. Money raised at this Ducks Unlimited fundraiser will go towards the organization’s efforts in local and broader conservation. “It’s a fun evening and we look to try and get as many people out from the community who care about the environment and the issues around global warming and climate change, and wetlands are a significant factor in capturing and holding carbon,” said Daniel Shnitka, committee chair for the area’s Ducks Unlimited chapter. As a committee, they also have an educational component and do restoration work on the Rithet’s Bog, conduct clean-ups of the Chemainus River Estuary — which was

Ducks Unlimited recently finished restoration work at Fanny Bay, which cost $175,000. They put in new culverts and upgraded dykes and berms, adding 150 lineal meters of spawning channel, which Shnitka said was principally for the Coho and Chum salmon. “So Ducks Unlimited is really about conser-

vation of all wildlife and we do that through habitat,” he said, adding it’s not just about ducks, it’s about the environment. With one of Ducks Unlimited’s components being education, they have taken 250 children from Kelset School in North Saanich out on field trips from last spring through to this fall. “A lot of our effort is in restoring and conserving and acquiring

threatened areas of wetlands but there also is a component of education and that’s the one that our committee does work on,” said Shnitka. He said he has also talked to a couple of people with the schools including Brentwood Bay and Keating Elementary, reaching out to them with details. Tickets are $60 each at the Ducks Unlimited fundraising event at the Mary Winspear Centre and can be purchased online at ducks.ca/ events. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. with the event wrapping up at 10:30. In North America, Ducks Unlimited will raise $2 billion for a five year program, with Canada’s share expected to be approximately $500 million. Shnitka said there are in excess of 500 events across the country and around 5,000-plus volunteers. In B.C alone, there are 60 to 70 or more dinner events each year. reporter@peninsula newsreview.com

Panthers pick up two overtime wins in VIJHL NORTH SAANICH — Watching the Peninsula Panthers hockey club is certainly not for the faint of heart. That was true this past week in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League. Last Wednesday, the Panthers bounced the visiting Saanich Braves and then on Friday, Nov. 13 did the same to the Westshore Wolves — winning both games by an identical 4-3 score. And in both cases, the local club needed extra time to finally put the nail in the coffins of their two crosstown rivals. On Wednesday afternoon in front of a solid Remembrance Day crowd, Trevor Owens picked up the winning goal in overtime, and an assist in regulation play, to lead the home squad. Owens scored 29 seconds into the first OT period when a Braves’ defender tried to clear the puck out of harm’s way. He inadvertently bounced it off Owens, who was in on the forecheck. The redirected disk went past a startled Riley Mathieson, playing between the pipes for the Braves. Kai Turner, Cam Thompson and Koby Hale added markers in the victory, while Alex Olson picked up the win guarding the cage

Dylan Morrison is ready to pedal to the next level Steven Heywood News staff

A series of top finishes, including a stop on the podium, has Sidney mountain bike racer Dylan Morrison ready to tackle the next level.

The weather’s a little inclement for serious outdoor training right now and the mountain bike season doesn’t really start until the spring, but Morrison is in the gym five days a week. He’s preparing to move to the Pro Elite

ishes in downhill bike races — the best was a second place podium stop in Fernie, B.C. in August. An earlier event saw him place seventh at Sun Peaks Resort in Kamloops. His results through nine races this season gave him enough combined points this year to qualify for the nationals in Quebec and world event in New York State. Morrison said he learned he had qualified a little too late for him to be able to travel out east — but he’s not going to be unprepared this coming season. After five years of

racing, Morrison knows what it’s going to take to succeed. In the gym, he’s working out to ensure he can pedal with the best downhill racers in the country. To get faster, he said he rides with other top riders — including those with more experience than him. He said it pushes him that extra bit, gaining more confidence to tackle the downhill turns and obstacles in each race. When he can get outside, Morrison said he rides at the mountain bike trails at Heartland, as well as Mt. Prevost near Duncan. He said he’s working with another great rider in Rob Fraser, who works for Primal

Performance, Morrison’s training facility. He said Fraser is one of the top three riders in Canada and someone he can learn from. Sponsored by Trek Pro City Racing of Esquimalt, Morrison has a stable of other supporters, including Troy Lee Designs, Schwalbe Tires, Stop Components and Harbour City Diesel. It’s the support that helps get him to the events —and to his goal of reaching the national and world cup events next year. First, however, Morrison will be getting into shape to race this spring at some of B.C.’s top ski resorts (once the snow is gone, of course) in the B.C. Cup Series. He knows he’ll have to score some top finishes to get to that next level. Having raced for five years, starting downhill racing in 2010, Morrison has moved quickly up the ranks. He said he’s getting ready to go even faster.

Vision Matters Dr. Paul Neumann

Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

Glasses choices not just restricted to frames If you wear glasses, there is much more to choose from than just frame styles. Due to technological advances over the past few years, there are wide ranges of practical and affordable options available for the lenses themselves. Be sure to ask your optometrist or optician about the lens options that are available, including the following: Anti-reflective coating: This feature helps eliminate annoying reflections and the “ghost” images some people see. AR coated lenses actually transmit more light for clearer vision. These lenses can help people who drive at night by reducing glare from oncoming headlights. www.oakbayoptometry.com Photosensitive lenses: These special lens materials “darken” when you are exposed different intensities of Dr.toNeil Paterson outdoor light. The brighter it is outside, the darker the lens Dr. Suzanne Sutter becomes. This lens works best when you are outdoors and Optometrists therefore is not the best sunglass for driving. 100 -2067 UV coating: A protective coating that Bay blocks harmful Cadboro Rd. ultraviolet rays. The latest UV coatings can help protect the 250-595-8500 eyes without changing the look or color of the lenses. Color tinting: Any color tint can be added to your lenses in gradients ranging from 10-90%. This can be Dr.glasses Rachela unique Rushforth* used for style, to give your look, or for www.admiralsvision.ca certain health reasons (eg. cataracts). Color tints can be combined with UV coating*Denotes for added protection in the sun. Optometric Corporation Scratch protection: A clear coating that helps protect Admirals Rd. and (near Thrifty plastic106-1505 lenses from scratches otherFoods) superficial damage. This option is pretty much mandatory for just about anyone wearing plastic or high index lenses. There are different scratch resistant coatings available depending on the level of protection a person needs. All of these options, combined with advances in lens www.saanichoptometry.ca design (for example aspheric, progressive and high index lenses), mean that Dr. today’s spectacle Victor J.

“We feel blessed because they’re so passionate about this campaign and it’s the one that they ... look forward to every year,” said Smith. “It’s interesting because it’s one that they just really gravitate towards and put 100 per cent effort behind.” Help Fill a Dream has three different programs with Dreams being just one of them. One of the programs is called Quality of Life, which is anything that can help to improve a child’s quality of life. This can be medical treatment outside of the country, modifications to accommodate medical equipment (wheelchair), insulin pumps, therapeutic horseback riding lessons and much more.

The other program is called Family Assistance, which helps families when a child is first diagnosed with an illness. This can involve travel back and forth to B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver, hotel and accommodation and more. Smith said in terms of the dreams kids wish for, around 70 per cent are trips, and Disney properties seem to be at the top of the list. Each year through all of the Help Fill a Dream programs, they work with around 100 different families; 12 to 15 of those are actual dreams, a similar amount of children are helped through Help Fill A Dream Foundation’s Quality of Life program and the rest helped through Family Assistance programs.
