Mark the moment Val Noyes, president of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #37 takes a moment to remember the fallen at the cenotaph on Sidney Avenue. Noyes will be among those marching in the Remembrance Day parade today (Nov. 11) starting at 10:30 a.m. from the Mary Winspear Centre. The events wind up at the cenotaph for an 11 a.m. ceremony. A wreath-laying ceremony will mark the day in Central Saanich at 11 a.m. at the Peacekeeping Memorial Cenotaph near municipal hall on Mount Newton X Road. Christine van Reeuwyk/News staff

lot in order for me to get to do what I do. I’m just thankful for that,” he said. “I hope I can live up to their expectations as a military officer.” The detachment is aboard Vancouver during Operation Mobile off the coast of Libya. “In the middle of the Mediterranean you still remember Canadian soldiers and you still take the time out to remember and honour them,” Phillip said. The Victoria International Airport-based 443 contingent includes 11 technicians, four pilots, three navigators and two airborne sensory operators.

While the ship was slated to return to Canada in February, Phillip wasn’t in a position to speculate on future roles for Vancouver in the area, or comment on any of the recent developments in Libya following the death of the country’s deposed dictator, Muammar Qadhafi. The Victoria pilot could, however, give a little insight into their work that stems from the training often visible on the Peninsula. The work is routine. “This is, for us, normal.

We look for vessels and report vessels — from positioning boats to container ships — back to HMCS Vancouver.” The days are often hot, with 30 to 38 C temperatures the norm and 80-per-cent humidity.

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Friday, November 11, 2011 PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Friday, November 11, 2011
head to head
In part 2 of our candidate profile series, the Peninsula News Review hears from individuals running for Central Saanich council positions in the Nov. 19 elections. We present their responses here and on page A5. Ryan Windsor
Age: 31 Occupation: Director of marketing at De Vine Vineyards in Central Saanich Family status: Married with one child Political experience: New candidate How long have you lived in the municipality? Two years, three months. What do you feel is the single biggest issue in this election? Fiscal responsibility How do you hope to solve it? My plan is to Ryan Windsor prioritize and manage spending on necessary projects. It is important that we carefully scrutinize projects for unnecessary components. What do you think council has done well this term? The integrated storm water management plan being started was a positive step. What would do you do on council to improve it? There is a need to continue to implement the plan now that it has been adopted. Some areas may need to be added.
Cathie Ounsted
Age: 48 Occupation: Accountant Family status: Married with two children Political experience: No publicly elected experience How long have you lived in the municipality? I have lived 17 years in Central Saanich. What do you feel is the single biggest issue in this election? Fiscal responsibility. Council must be accountable to the taxpayers in their financial Cathie Ounsted decisions. Our municipal infrastructure needs improvement and past councils have not budgeted for this capital expense. How do you hope to solve it? By reviewing the budget of capital projects and ensuring they are reasonable. We must be prudent in their costing and how they are being funded and if the timing is appropriate. What do you think council has done well this term? The current council has been responsible for the implementation of
much needed improvement to municipal infrastructure. They have also been successful in obtaining significant government grants, which has substantially reduced the cost of completed projects. What would do you do on council to improve it? I would improve the transparency of council by voting to record all council votes. I would also support the continued improvement of infrastructure while being diligent in the costing of projects, and seeking government grants where available. I would work to repair the reputation of Central Saanich as a community open for business.
Carl Jensen
Age: 39 Occupation: Supervisor, forest revenue operations Family status: Married with three children in school Political experience: No elected experience How long have you lived in the municipality? 12 years What do you feel is the single biggest issue in this election? The revitalization of the Keating business park to ensure it remains a strong tax source for the district. How do you hope to Carl Jensen solve it? By working with business and residents to create a business development plan with a champion on council. I could be that champion, as I’m passionate about this topic and ensuring it succeeds. What do you think council has done well this term? Made progress on a number of projects that were delayed for far too long, such as East Saanich Road and the waterline on Senanus Drive. To improve council I would: Look to build partnerships with groups to strengthen the communication between council and the chamber of commerce, First Nations, Saanichton Village Assoc., Brentwood Revitalization Committee, etc.
Terry Siklenka
Age: 51 Occupation: General manager, Cairnview Mechanical Ltd. Family status: Married Political experience: One term on Cen-
tral Saanich council (elected 2008). How long have you lived in the municipality? Since fall 2007. What do you feel is the single biggest issue in this election? The 2012 budget in relation to the community life safety issues regarding the new Central Saanich fire hall. How do you hope to solve it? The current council has done all the groundwork for the construction and financial needs for the next council to complete and implement Terry Siklenka this very important project. What do you think council has done well this term? Getting things done in a proper, quick, efficient manner. Setting up proper stewardship for the future while balancing community needs in relation to new and maintained infrastructure, infill housing, environment, farmland support, First Nations co-operation and an open-for-business attitude. What would do you do on council to improve it? Continue to lead and support residents, farmers, First Nations and businesses to take advantage of every opportunity that exists in these times to become a success. Their success is our success.
Susan Mason
Age: not provided Occupation: Interior designer/project manager Family status: Single mother of one Political experience: Susan Mason Nine years on Central Saanich council How long have you lived in the municipality? More than 20 years. What do you feel is the single biggest issue in this election? Given today’s revenue and infrastructure challenges, the number one issue has to be the district’s financial sustainability, the need to increase our tax base and maintain service levels while sustaining balance between growth and no growth as set out in our official community plan. How do you hope to solve it? We need to increase our tax base by taking a proactive, promotional approach to attract business, industry and tourism. To do this we need
to develop an economic development plan in conjunction with our neighbours and the chamber of commerce. What do you think council has done well this term? We need to plan for the future. Realistic planning is the key to good decision-making, resulting in action. Muchneeded planning for a new fire hall, completing our first-ever agricultural area plan, as well as starting the process on a water master plan were good initiatives implemented this term. What would do you do on council to improve it? I would like to see us record negative votes and would support better tools for communication with the public.
John B. Garrison
Age: 64 Occupation: Retired lawyer with a great retirement job at Slegg Lumber. Family status: Married Political experience: Served 15 years on Saanich council, nine years as CRD director and six years on Cen- John Garrison tral Saanich council. How long have you lived in the municipality. If you don’t live here, why are you running in this municipality? I lived in Central Saanich prior to remarrying. I continue to work on the Peninsula and am in the community six to seven days a week. We would love to return here on my wife’s retirement in two to three years. I care about the community and wish to help complete those important infrastructure projects like the proposed new firehall. What do you feel is the single biggest issue in this election? Financial sustainability, in light of the major infrastructure projects undertaken or proposed. This has evolved to the issue of borrowing by the municipality, doing nothing or increasing taxes to unacceptable levels. How do you hope to solve it? Council has to look at the required infrastructure needs, prioritize them and look at all funding sources including grants/cost sharing with senior governments. The East Saanich Road renewal project was on the books for over 25 years and council was able to complete it with two-thirds of the costs shared by the federal and provincial governments.

NEWS NEWS REVIEW REVIEW
Central Saanich candidates speak their minds Continued from Page A3
What do you think council has done well this term? Council accomplished significant projects, including the integrated storm water management plan, agricultural area plan, lobbying for removal of derelict vessels, Soil Deposit Bylaw amendments to regulate fill on Agricultural Land Reserve land, facilities planning with the proposed new fire hall being tendered along with many other important initiatives. What would you do on council to improve it? I believe the new council should continue to work respectfully together, recognizing that all of us are working to improve Central Saanich, even if we disagree.
Sue Stroud
Age: 55 Occupation: Administrative support clerk, B.C. Housing Family status: Single Political experience: No publicly elected experience How long have you lived in the municipality? Since 1970 on Tanner Ridge, in Saanichton and in Brentwood Bay. What do you feel is the single biggest issue in this election? Lack of fiscal responsibility. We don’t need Sue Stroud the most high-end tennis courts, all the bells and whistles on every project. Lack of prudence, failure to value thrift seems to rule right now. How do you hope to solve it? We need to refill our reserves, build modestly, go back to “pay-as-you-go” as much as we can, recognize federal and provincial grants come from the same taxpayers as municipal taxes, ratepayers paying more overall these days, tennis players should have raised the money themselves as badminton players did years ago. What do you think council has done well this term? Integrated storm water management plan and cleaning up the boats in Saanich Inlet. What would you do on council to improve it? Welcome citizens into deliberations in every way. Videotaping council, making searches online easier, recording the votes, being respectful, doing more than the minimum requirements to advise citizens of public hearings, etc. Many say this, I have done it, I have been publicizing meetings to Central Saanich citizens for years.
Liam Cooper
Age: 30 Occupation: New parent and final-year law student. Family status: I live with my partner, Marnie, and our new son Keith. Political experience: No publicly elected experience How long have you lived in the municipality? Earlier this year, Marnie and I were finally able to afford a down payment on our townhouse in Saanichton. We are now able to fulfill our dream of raising a family in Central Saanich. What do you feel is the single biggest issue in this election? We need councillors who can work harmoniously together, in order to seriously address the Liam Cooper
challenges ahead. These include 1) finding a way to prune debt while holding the line on taxes, 2) revitalizing Keating X Road while not leaving Brentwood and Saanichton behind, 3) increasing volunteerism, and 4) restoring transparency. How do you hope to solve it? I will draw on my experience to help build a more cooperative, consensual council. What do you think council has done well this term? I believe the disputatious nature of our current council has led to some serious errors in judgment. However, I do believe the decision to relocate and modernize our fire hall will increase the safety of businesses and residents of Central Saanich. Hopefully, it will help lower insurance costs as well. What would you do on council to improve it? (no answer)
James McNulty
Age: 24 Occupation: Owner/operator Five Star Paving Co. Ltd., Island View Golf Centre. Family status: In a relationship Political experience: No publicly elected experience How long have you lived in the municipality? My family has lived and worked in Central Saanich for over 20 years. What do you feel is the single biggest issue in this election? At the moment it seems there is a breakdown in communication between members of the public and council, and that decisions have been made that are contrary to the desires of the public. I will bridge that gap between the community and the council. How do you hope to solve it? I will work tirelessly to make sure that all lines of communication are open and that the dialogue between council and the public remains robust. Reinstating recording keeping of which councillor James McNulty voted for what will be my first priority. What do you think council has done well this term? Secured federal and provincial funding for important public projects. What would you do on council to improve it? It’s crucial that the council of Central Saanich is effective in delivering information to the citizens of this fine community. As a councillor, I will ensure that the lines of communication remain open so that we can have the conversations necessary to understand and resolve the complex issues faced by our community.
Robert (Bob) Thompson
Age: 60 Occupation: Agri-food consultant Family status: I live with my partner of 24 years, Heather Biasio, in Saanichton. Political experience: Councillor, District of Central Saanich, 1993-96, 2002-08 How long have you lived in the municipality? 20 years. What do you feel is the single biggest issue in this election? Long-term financial sustainability and infrastructure upgrades. How do we accomplish this without significant tax increases? Is it possible? Pay as you go (if you actually do “go”) or borrowing both mean raising revenues, principally by taxation. Increasing our tax base in the Keating industrial area is critical. How do you hope to solve it? I’d support a meaningful public discussion on long-term financial planning that considers
major infrastructure upgrades and sets priorities, plus a realistic review of how we’re going to pay for our future. Do residents — and businesses — want to “pay as you go” and start saving now (i.e, a hefty tax increase)? What do you think council has done well this term? Whether or not you agree with the decisions, council took on some long-standing controversial issues and put them to bed (sort of) — East Saanich Road upgrade, firehall, Mount Newton Bob Thompson waterline, Peninsula Co-op. In the words of Humphrey Appleby (Yes Minister), they may prove to be courageous decisions. What would you do on council to improve it? Improve communication. I’d like to see more informative debate at the council meetings and webcasts of meetings. Upgrade the website to make it more userfriendly. Contract out a part-time communications consultant – create a communications plan, do social media, update the website, produce media releases.
Adam Olsen
Age: 35 Occupation: First Nations housing consultant Family status: Married, father Political experience: One term on Central Saanich council, 2008 to present. How long have you lived in the municipality? 35 years What do you feel is the single biggest issue in this election? Managing community finances. Municipalities face incredible pressure, federal and provincial programs have been cut, fewer grants are available for major projects and more responsibility has been downloaded, with no money to pay for the added workload. How do you hope to solve it? We must make prudent decisions while lobbying senior governments for change. Spending public money has to be done responsibly and to achieve this flexibil- Adam Olsen ity is critical. We must show restraint, pay as we go for what we can, save as we go and borrow only when necessary. What do you think council has done well this term? A lot. For example, council implemented an integrated stormwater management plan, completed major upgrades to East Saanich Road, took action on long-standing issues in the Saanich Inlet, were strong advocates at the CRD for action on agricultural issues, adopted a Pesticide Control Bylaw and developed a First Nations emergency plan. What would you do on council to improve it? I will continue to work to improve communications. There are tools that I use daily, that are available to the District to engage residents, inform them of successes and challenges, consult with them and involve a wider range of stakeholders. Communication tools are rapidly evolving; everyone benefits if we embrace them.
Zeb King
Age: 36 Occupation: Senior policy analyst, Min-
istry of Health Family status: Married Political experience: Elected to Central Saanich council in 2002 and in 2005. How long have you lived in the municipality? A third-generation Central Saanich resident, I have lived here since I was 12 years old, attending Mt. Newton, Royal Oak and Claremont schools before going on to the University of Victoria. My wife and I recently bought our first home, in Brentwood. What do you feel is the single biggest issue in this election? Residents I speak to identify the deteriorating Keating business area as a key issue. Residents are concerned that businesses continue to leave. Vacant shop fronts and building sites also signal a dwindling business tax base. Zeb King How do you hope to solve it? I have experience with the Brentwood Revitalization Plan and now we need a Keating revitalization plan. This would be a plan that brings businesses and residents to the table so balanced and resilient strategies are created. I’ve always said that the wisdom is within the community and the council just needs to listen and then implement the ideas. What do you think council has done well this term? Council has done a good job of cleaning up derelict boats in Brentwood Bay and creating a soil deposit bylaw to prevent continued dumping. What would you do on council to improve it? Regarding the clean-up of Brentwood Bay, it’s a good start but the work isn’t done. If more levels of government are involved, perhaps we can get more done with reduced burden on the municipality.
Wayne Spencer
Age: 41 Occupation: Accountant Family status: Married Political experience: This is my first political experience. How long have you lived in the municipality? I have lived here for three years. What do you feel is the single biggest issue in this election? Trust. How do you hope to solve it? I believe in open and transparent government and will strive to not only have my votes recorded, but will be open to everyone in the district. There is no reason to hide behind anonymity if you are on the people’s side and have the best interest of the district with every decision. What do you think council has done well this term? This term Wayne Spencer council has done a very good job at updating some needed infrastructure. What would you do on council to improve it? Our aging roads need to have a plan for maintaining them. The municipality is living off the past taxpayers and putting off payment of replacing infrastructure to future generations.

Building up business, secondary suites generate conversations Central Saanich council candidates give their thoughts on a handful of issues to crowd at fairgrounds Don Descoteau News staff
Getting a handle on municipal finances, more proactively supporting the business community and reopening a decision to allow for absentee landlords were the hot topics at a Central Saanich allcandidates meeting last week at the Saanich fairgrounds. With the municipality facing a deficit of $13 million, candidates spoke of increasing the tax base by proactively supporting business, such as focusing on reinvigorating the Keating industrial area and establishing financial priorities. Transparency was another key tenet of candidates’ speeches and replies. Several called for a system requiring all votes, or at least votes that oppose motions, to be recorded in the minutes.
With individual councillor tallies not recorded in the minutes, said candidate and former two-term councillor Zeb King, “people feel they’re being shut out” from the process.
has safeguards in place — bylaw officers — to protect against problem properties under the current system. Mayoral candidate Chris Graham clarified his understanding
“I look north, not south. The natural partnership is on the Peninsula.” – Bob Thompson on Central Saanich amalgamating with Saanich
A submitted question asked whether candidates would support reconsidering this spring’s removal of the owner-occupancy clause in the secondary suite bylaw. Cathie Ounsted said she would support such a review, over a concern about the condition of a property if the owner were not living on the premises. Candidates Liam Cooper and James McNulty, however, each pointed out that the district already
of concerns over absentee landlords: “It’s not about renters, it’s about land speculators. Mayoral challenger Coun. Alistair Bryson, who brought forward the idea to remove the owner-occupancy rule, explained that he saw the requirement as discriminatory and “a safety blanket the community no longer needed.” In response to another submitted question, most candidates roundly rejected the idea of
spending money to study the feasibility of amalgamating with Saanich. Ryan Windsor noted the concept has many layers and many options, with full amalgamation the extreme. Before taking any action toward combining services or administration, he said, “Residents need to say whether they want servicing to change.” Bob Thompson said the sharing of services is a possibility, but likely not with Saanich. “I look north, not south. The natural partnership is on the Peninsula,” he said. Coun. Terry Siklenka quipped, “We’re the envy of the entire CRD. Maybe they might want to amalgamate with us.” Central Saanich residents “value local planning and local selfdestiny,” said Graham. While most candidates acknowledged the importance of the
Wounded deer sparks fear of bow hunter’s return Evidence deadly weapon was used to shoot at animal Kyle Slavin News staff
There are fears a bowhunter could be once again stalking animals in suburban Saanich, after a deer was found injured in Gordon Head on Sunday. An officer was called to the 1400-block of Edgemont Place where he found the injured animal. It had wounds indicative of being shot in the abdomen. “At (what appears to be an entrance wound) there were four distinct lacerations, leading the officer to believe it was from
an arrow tip with a star shape,” said Saanich police Sgt. Dean Jantzen, noting no arrow was found at the scene. The animal was euthanized by the officer who attended the incident. A necropsy was not held and the animal was destroyed, which means police can’t confirm that the deer was, in fact, struck by an arrow. “Absent anything definitive, we’re going on guesswork on the part of this officer (who suspects it was an arrow wound),” Jantzen said. The injuries didn’t look typi-
cal with other antler injuries that might have come from rutting with another deer, he added. Last fall, nearly a dozen deer were found with arrow wounds or arrows sticking out of their bodies. Some of the animals had been poached for their antlers or head. “We are being vigilant for incidents similar to those that happened last fall,” Jantzen said. “There hasn’t been any obvious continuation of those incidents, and we hope that’s not the case.” kslavin@saanichnews.com
Keating area to the district’s tax base, they were asked to answer a question about how they might help increase business opportunities and growth in Saanichton. Carl Jensen suggested that an economic development plan be created that includes the three key business areas of Saanichton, Keating and Brentwood Bay. Coun. Susan Mason
followed, saying that was a good reason for the district to hire an economic development officer. “The land is prime for development there,” said Coun. John Garrison. “Business needs to come forward with ideas that work for the community.” Coun. Adam Olson said densifying the area, creating more residential buildings with street-level
commercial spaces, would help create a more thriving core in the neighbourhood. “We need to engage not only business owners, but property owners who would make that investment,” he said. The final allcandidates meeting was held Tuesday in the former Tsawout band office. editor@peninsula newsreview.com

OUR VIEW
Horrors of war not forgotten It’s a little disconcerting that there hasn’t been more outrage about the decision to release the latest Call of Duty video game during the same week as Remembrance Day. Sales of the latest instalment of the franchise are expected to set a record for entertainment products of any kind. And while there is a long history of films, plays and games that have turned the tension of war into a source of amusement, this week is about much more than recalling tales of heroism. Amid the ceremony and emotion of this day, our thoughts need to linger on the abhorrence of what it is we must remember. Today is a time to address the conflicting emotions that make Remembrance Day such an important time of the year. We take pride in the men and women who ventured into killing zones because that is what they were told to do, what they believed they had to do. But that pride must also be tempered with melancholy and repugnance. We celebrate the courage of our armed forces, from the horrific conflicts of the First World War that helped forge Canada’s early identity, to the noble efforts of those who risk everything to win the hearts and minds of modern Afghanis. In doing so, many sacrificed their lives while many more have returned to our society profoundly changed. We are finding out more and more about the lasting effects that war has on people who experience combat. Our understanding of post-traumatic stress disorder has come a long way since the days when it was simply known as shell shock. Yet, there is much more work to do. Veterans suffer exponentially more from mental illness than the rest of the population and suicide is an epidemic among soldiers returning from war. Remembrance Day must be a time when we cherish the fragility of peace. Today, we do not pay tribute to war, but to those who sacrificed so much to try and end war. We can honour their courage by taking inspiration from it and ensuring we all do what we can to resolve conflicts without violence. Lest we forget, our veterans experienced the horrors of war so that others would never have to. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@peninsulanewsreview.com or fax 250-656-5526.

Woodwynn farm ‘just waiting to be used’ Victoria politicians are talking about the election issues as being affordable housing, homelessness, food security and sustainability. Saanich politicians talk about farming, sustainability and affordable housing. Central Saanich is complaining about farmers not being able to make a living and the high cost of farming, but they don’t want the riffraff in their part of town. The Creating Homefulness Society has the 193-acre Woodwynn Farms in Central Saanich just waiting to be used. We plan to offer housing, food, support and job training to up to 96 people; and provide mentorship and care through our volunteers. We plan to farm the land
to address food security issues; to house those who are currently homeless to address the homeless issue; to provide jobs to address job creation and we plan to give those without the skills to contribute to society these needed skills. So why are politicians in the CRD not working with us to house the poor, feed the masses and educate the illiterate? High unemployment in Victoria and the CRD means the streets are scattered with the homeless, the addicted and the hungry. It seems to me that it is a crying shame when Victoria’s food bank — the Mustard Seed — has to take out a mortgage on its property so it can meet the needs of the homeless in Victoria.
It seems to me that we all have some work to do to learn how to be a community. Politicians need to get their act together and start talking to each other, and jump on ideas that make sense for the masses. The masses may even get out to the polling stations and vote if they felt they had a chance to make a difference. Let’s not tie up good solutions and smother them in red bureaucratic tape. Let’s get some action happening. Greater Victorians, you have a voice and you have hands and feet. Use your voice to carry the message, use your feet and hands to work together and use your resources to help those in need. Encourage
one another to act. We are a community, friends. It’s time we started acting like it rather than just looking after our own interests. We need to give each other roots in this community — that means we need to fill the storehouses of places like Mustard Seed and lean on the powers that be to remove the red tape so that Woodwynn Farms can work the land so we can provide food, jobs, and housing. Let’s not settle for “keeping things the same.” The same isn’t working and people are hungry, poor, and homeless. Kathleen Busch Victoria
Readers respond: Hunger, poppy sales, Suzuki Hunger woes show B.C. isn’t putting families first Re: Grants cut from program to feed needy kids (www.vicnews.com) The kids are already hungry and the provincial government is taking an apathetic role once again. Christy Clark says “families first.” I guess she is only considering the corporate families. It would be nice if B.C. could figure out how to not be on the top ten list of provinces with children living in poverty. Ten years as the No. 1 province with the highest child poverty rate in Canada. Are they happy with this? Is that why they are continuing to make it 11 years? How can politicians sleep at night knowing that there are so many kids who are hungry? I would love to know what their plans are to eliminate child hunger and child poverty. Hilary Marks Victoria
Suzuki’s claims continue to be too negative David Suzuki tries to make an equivalency between his support of the Occupy protests and opposition to slavery (PNR Oct. 21, Occupy Wall Street reflects increasing frustration). But slavery is an issue of individual freedom. Advocates make all kinds of phoney claims — appealing to “culture” is a scam today, claiming black-skinned people cannot be trusted was the scam in the southeastern U.S. decades ago. Suzuki advocates a degree of slavery — controlling people he thinks cannot be trusted to take care of their environment, and forcing charity because he thinks that
we exploit people from an economic “fixed pie.” He ignores the gardens and forests planted and nurtured all around him by property owners. He muses about using force against politicians who don’t follow his whims, and speaks encouragingly to an inherently violent protest — the “Occupy” mob, whose name means initiating force. In his Nov. 4 column (Is seven billion people too many? www.vicnews.com) Suzuki makes a further attempt to blame people here, especially the groups of investors and employees called “companies” for consuming resources. But the system proven to feed and shelter humans has increased the amount of food per person despite great population growth, and has found new sources and developed substitutes. If Suzuki cared about people he would help improve the system and get it adopted worldwide. Sensible people will ask Suzuki why he continues to be so negative. Keith Sketchley Saanich
Ex-soldiers deserve respect when selling poppies I hear that ex-servicemen selling poppies in Victoria are being subjected to abuse and harassment by vagrants who object to them collecting money that they consider to be rightly theirs. Perhaps they should be reminded that but for those who defended our freedoms and whose lives those poppies commemorate, it is unlikely that the street people would now be allowed to slouch about, making a thorough nuisance of themselves.

OLAONABULÉ Fluke stop near Sidney nets $2.6 M in CONCERT Nov 25 Suspect busted after exhibiting suspicious boating behaviour Rudy Haugeneder News Staff
If Jeffrey Melchior had followed simple boating rules, he might never have been caught – and would have been $2.6 million richer. But he didn’t and now the Lake Cowichan man is instead an alleged money launderer awaiting a trial that could see him locked up for years. Amid the tightest police security ever seen at RCMP District Headquarters in Victoria, police last week announced they had seized more than $2.6 million U.S. in what Mounties describe as one of the largest seizures of laundered money in Canada. RCMP Supt. Derek Simmonds, in charge of the federal border integrity program in B.C. said the money was fished out of Canadian waters near Sidney in the middle of the night last March after the pilot of a suspicious fast-moving boat without running lights threw a suitcase of money into the water just as an RCMP patrol boat was about to intercept it. After first recovering the suit-
case, police arrested Jeffrey Melchior of Lake Cowichan, who is charged with possession of property obtained by crime and laundering proceeds of crime. Simmonds said the seizure and arrest were the result of the 44-year-old Melchior’s bad seamanship, not intelligence police had gathered. He said the five-metre rigid hull inflatable boat was just two nautical miles from the U.S. border when police intercepted the vessel. Melchior was not armed and the only person aboard. Melchior’s mistake was moving at high speed, late at night, toward the Don Denton/News staff international border on a RCMP Cpl.

For many years I used a typewriter, but then I got a computer and “sort-of” learned to use it, but not how to do even the least complicated thing. If I could write a column from beginning to end without losing it, (by mindlessly hitting the wrong button) I felt strong and brave. But then the next week I’d make some dumb error and my column would vanish, never to be seen again. Now, to my shame and horror I’ve done it again. Oh well, no use trying any longer to find it, it is just plain lost. I do have a really great thing to tell you.

Over the Garden Fence Dina E. called to offer me several allium bulbs. I am overwhelmed at her generosity. Not only that, she has others that she will sell for $2 each. Her telephone number is 250-652-2715. I have to wait for my daughter to come over from Pender Island to
get a ride out to get them, but soon, I hope. Another caller suggested that to get the best results you should rototill vegetable beds three times, the last time adding your fall rye and mixing it in. Three times sounds like a lot of work, but just think of how well mixed and light your soil will be when you are finished. He tills his beds over a period of nine days. While out for a walk yesterday I spotted a number of patches of clover blooming amongst the gravel. It was a delighful surprise, seeing it bravely flowering at this time
of year and in such an unwelcoming place. Of course there were flowering calendula dotted around in neglected areas, as I walked. They are such willing plants, aren’t they, and yet you seldom see them planted on purpose. Maybe their brilliant orange isn’t the most popular colour in the gardening world, but I believe calendula seed can also be found in a cream colour. Next year I’ll try to find some, and let you know. Helen Lang has been the PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW’s garden columnist for more than 25 years.

SPORTS NEWS IN BRIEF
Stingers set for Island tourney
The Stelly’s secondary junior girls volleyball finished third in the city championships to earn a berth at Islands. They’ll represent the south island at the island tournament in Nanaimo on Nov. 18 and 19.
Parkland rowers pull fastest time
The Parkland Panthers made their mark among more than 300 rowers from across Victoria area high schools during the annual regatta at Elk Lake. Amanda Pomphrey and Emma Griffith won second in their double, and Grant Shapka and Ed Gawne came first in their double. The senior boys quad of Brandon Carnduff, Shawn Shorthill, Gawne, and Shapka finished first in the senior boys quad, which also clocked the fastest quad time in the regatta. The senior girls quad of Lara Gemmrich, Nicole Cameron, Amanda Pomphrey and Emma Griffith came in second.
Travis Paterson/News staff
Fifth-year student athlete Laura Mitic is balancing university, cross country running and music with the band Carmanah.
Running her mouth off Travis Paterson News staff
Switching gears, Laura Mitic stuffs her running cleats into her backpack and opens her fiddle case. “This is grandma,” she explains as she strums a maritime tune. “Grandma got that name because it’s the oldest instrument in our band.” Mitic’s voice has a texture that makes you want to hear her sing, which she does, along with playing fiddle and flute in five-piece band Carmanah. She’s also in her fifth year as a University of Victoria Vikes crosscountry and track athlete. Mitic joins the Vikes at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport championships held on the Plains of Abraham in Quebec City on Saturday (Nov. 12). When they return, about half of the team plans to see Carmanah open for local act Jon and Roy at Sugar Nightclub on Nov. 18. Diverse in her pursuits, Mitic will
leave UVic with a history major and a minor in environmental studies. With so little flexibility in her schedule, Mitic has had to make sacrifices. This year she skipped the summer’s outdoor track season “to see what Carmanah could do.” They worked on a more professional sound to get radio and festival attention. “I didn’t even know if I’d come back to the team this year,” Mitic admits. “(Coach) Fougner understands that I have two passions and I was able to come back.” Fougner said Mitic is doing exactly what student-athletes should. “I told her to go out and tour,” he said. “She has an awesome voice. We know she has this other life. “Then she had to work hard to make it back this fall and she’s going in as our fifth runner instead of our first or second.” Read the full story online at www. peninsulanewsreview.com. sports@peninsulanewsreview.com

WILLIAMS, JACK (JAKE) It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jack on November 5, at the age of 76. He was born in 1935 in Edmonton to Phyllis Garlick and George Williams. Jack is survived by his loving wife Betty (Elizabeth) of 48 years, sons Chris (Astrid) of Studio City,California and Matthew (Jessica) of Vancouver. He is also survived by his sister Gwen Newsome of White Rock, brothers-in-law Ed McLellan (Phyllis) and Bill McLellan (Bonnie) and nephews and nieces. Jack was an immensely proud grandfather of Harper (3), Charlie (1) and three week old twins, Zoe and Adele. Jack graduated from the University of Missouri with a Ph.D. (Psychology) and was the Director of Counselling at the University of Waterloo for many years. Jack moved to B.C. in 2008 and pursued his love of the outdoors, hiking the beautiful trails of North Saanich with his beloved dog, Tika. Other passions included cycling, opera, Tai chi, theatre and spending time with his many friends. Jack loved music and was a jazz expert with an extensive collection and his own radio program at U of Waterloo. Jack was an intelligent, kind, generous and happy man with a love of life. A memorial service will be announced at a future date. In lieu of flowers, donations in Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name may be made to the World Wildlife Fund.
