CIVIC VOTE 2011 Mar passes torch to fellow councillor
Familiar crew to sit around council table in Sidney Mayor, four incumbents re-elected Saturday

“I’m very pleased with the council the public has chosen to appoint,” Bryson said. “I think we’ve got an excellent team of folks — people who have a lot of good qualities to bring to the council table.” Meanwhile, the mayor-elect’s opponent was conciliatory in defeat.
With a comfortable margin of victory in the books, Larry Cross is hoping to maintain momentum in Sidney. The incumbent mayor cruised back into office Saturday, receiving more than three times the number of votes as challenger Jack Barker. “I was fairly confident going in,” Cross said. “However, there’s always that element of doubt in your mind. It was an anxious day, but I feel the residents have given me a strong mandate.” With the mayor and four of six sitting councillors returned to the table — councillors Cliff McNeil-Smith and Jeanette Hughes did not run — residents gave the entire group a ringing endorsement. Among decisions to be made by the municipality in the short term, Cross hopes to see the Sidney-Anacortes ferry deal wrapped up. A 20-year agreement announced last week (story, page A3) awaits state approval.

Before he sat down with friends and family to celebrate victory in the Central Saanich mayoral race Saturday, Alastair Bryson had some unfinished business to take care of. “I managed to get my signs all gathered up already, so I don’t have to get up early tomorrow morning,” he said with a grin. Celebrating for the mayor-elect involved sitting around a table in the Prairie Inn with “friends and folks that I really respect,” including retiring Mayor Jack Mar. Having outpolled candidate Christopher Graham by more than 900 votes, two-term district councillor Bryson said he’s excited at the opportunity to work with a new council that includes three incumbents, a former councillor and two political newcomers. While no major development projects lie waiting in the wings, one of the first priorities for the new council will be to give final approval to the new fire hall building, he said.

Long-term deal inked for Sidney-Anacortes ferry run Sides awaiting green light from Washington Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
Sidney’s committed, Washington State Ferries is committed and now they hope to see the state committed. The Town of Sidney approved a 20-year lease with the Seattle-based company for the Anacortes/Sidney route starting Jan. 1. It replaces the interim agreement in place since last year. “We’re waiting now for the final signature from Washington,” said Sidney Mayor Larry Cross. “It means the (ferry) service has made a commitment to the run, and that’s important.” With Washington State Ferries on board and demonstrating that they see merit in continuing the route, Cross expects the company will advocate for support from the state. Representatives from the Town of Sidney will join them in lobbying the state for approval, he added. The route has been under threat of cancellation in recent years due to state funding cuts. “Every year the rally is there and the state government has backed
down,” Cross said. The difference is in the signing of a long-term agreement, he noted. It doesn’t hurt that ridership on the Sidney-Anacortes run is up by 10 per cent over last year. According to Washington State Ferries, more than 98,000 passengers had travelled on the run through the end of August. The ferry service operates until Dec. 31 and resumes March 18, 2012. Information about fares and reservations can be found at www.wsdot. wa.gov/ferries. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com
Did you know? � Rent paid by Washington State Ferries will be placed in a reserve fund to be used for capital works at the terminal. � The company will pay about $170,000 in property tax on the terminal land. Of that, $70,000 is payable to the Town of Sidney.

The vehicle ferry to Anacortes, Wash. leaves Sidney earlier this month. The run is closer to being confirmed for the next 20 years, after a deal was reached last week between the Town of Sidney and Washington State Ferries.

North Saanich leads voter turnout It wasn’t a stellar result in terms of how many residents came to the polls, but North Saanich voters led the way on the Peninsula when it came to polling for Saturday’s civic elections. The municipality saw 41.2 per cent of eligible voters cast ballots, making North Saanich fourth in the region for turnout, behind Metchosin (49 per cent), Oak Bay (43 per
cent) and Sooke (42 per cent). Central Saanich’s turnout was 33 per cent, while Sidney came in at 31 per cent. Both were roughly in the middle of the pack among the Capital Region’s 13 municipalities. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com OUR VIEW: Voter turnout, Page A8

“I’m looking forward to a formal signing ceremony in Seattle in January,” Cross said, anticipating completion of the deal. Further down the road, he said, council will need to address such issues as the completion of Iroquois Park and related traffic flow changes, and updating the Town’s sign bylaw. More important for the Town’s future economic health, Cross added, elected officials will participate in public discussions around a proposed zoning bylaw change currently in the draft stage.

“I think people just had more comfort electing Alastair because he was on council at the time,” said Graham, a former four-term Central Saanich councillor and loser of the 2008 mayoral race to Mar. “I’m quite comfortable with Alastair as mayor. He’s a good choice for the community.” Graham said he plans to put his name in to
serve on Central Saanich’s advisory planning commission, where he hopes to have input on the revitalization of the Keating X Road business district.

Land near new school pushed for high-density projects Don Descoteau News staff
Housing principles embodied in North Saanich’s official community plan will be touched on this week when a proposal for a second 11-unit building at 1950 John Rd. comes before the district’s advisory planning commission. Developer Norm Isherwood has already received a permit to build a similar 11-unit housing development on the front half of the semi-vacant piece of property, located across from the new North Saanich middle school. He is asking council to approve the second building, a decision that would effectively double the density on the .4-hectare lot. “This level of density was refused by the previous council,” Mayor Alice Finall said during discussions of the project at the Nov. 14 council meeting. Her comment referred to the fact that a made-in-North Saanich plan designed to dovetail into the Capital Region’s Affordable Housing Strategy was largely opposed by the public in 2008. Residents told council the

The numbers do create a bit of a concern for parking, he added. “As necessary, we can open up the ferry terminal and use that for parking.” The terminal also has washrooms and space for tents should there be poor weather. reporter@peninsula newsreview.com

With a new building comes a new lease between the Town of Sidney and the Sidney Lions Food Bank. Council approved the lease, with ratification to come, during a recent committee meeting. “We’re so happy that our volunteers have a decent place to work,” said Mayor Larry Cross. “I look forward to the day we could do without the food bank, but I think it’s going to be around for a while.” The leased area includes the building and associated parking areas. Rent is $1 per year with a five-year term and a five-year renewal option. The Lions Club is responsible for keeping the premises in safe, tidy and sanitary condition.

A man faces charges after a pot growing operation was shut down in Central Saanich. Central Saanich Police Service officers executed a search warrant Nov. 16 on a Garden Gate Drive home and found 225 marijuana plants in one section of an indoor growing area in the home. Police said the ventilation system to the remaining area was being upgraded, but there was evidence it had recently
been used to grow another 700 plants. About $80,000 worth of hydroponic accessories was also seized. “Hydroponic grow operations require a considerable amount of equipment to manage the electrical consumption of the high-intensity lights,” said Cpl.

Panorama Recreation’s satellite gym is officially open. Where an open space used to be, a glassed-in area now holds weights, treadmills and various other exercise options at Greenglade community centre. “We’re reaching out to a wider audience, because it’s a little bit less intimidating than the big gym,” said Adrianne Gadd, acting fitness, weights and rehabilitation co-ordinator. The centre offers a multitude of other recreation opportunities. Aside from the variety of fitness classes available, programs range from learning Italian or pottery to clogging classes. “We’re always looking for new ideas,” Gadd said.

OUR VIEW
Voter turnout still not healthy Sometimes we wonder what it’s going to take for the public to get interested in municipal politics, at least at election time. In Central Saanich, where the two campaigns for mayor were respectful of the other, but some of the councillor candidates drew rancour from members of the public, having only a third of eligible voters show up at the polls was perplexing. It seems to indicate that, as with most issues, the people with axes to grind are in the minority. In North Saanich, where two distinct groups of residents with divergent views on certain issues have materialized, a relatively healthy number of residents (41 per cent of eligible voters) turned out to cast their ballots, even without a mayor’s race. The average resident, if there is such a being, wants to know their civic representatives are doing their best to do the right thing, but clearly, not enough of those residents make it a priority to help send those people to the council table. One major contributor to the problem of low turnout is the fact residents have so many candidates to choose from. Sure, there’s no requirement to fill in the voter’s card with the full complement of candidates, but if a person is inclined to get as far as the ballot box, they’re likely going to do their best to select as many as possible. We wonder whether it’s the prospect of having to actually do some research on candidates that scares so many people away from polling places. The fact provincial and federal elections also continue to suffer from low voter turnout — they run in the mediocre 50-per-cent range most times — seems to indicate there is more to it than having a high number of candidates to choose from. Regardless of the reason, municipal elections are done for another three years and the residents who cared enough have demonstrated their interest in their communities at the ballot box.

He should “address the inequity for B.C. cement producers,” and also “consider immediate carbon tax exclusions for agriculture, including the greenhouse sector, and public institutions.” Falcon allowed last week that B.C.’s competitive position must be considered, now that U.S. President Barack Obama has reversed himself on the need for an emission trading system that would have levelled the North American playing field. Look for changes when Falcon tables his first budget in February. Does this mean B.C.’s climate strategy is dead? No. Delegates from U.S. states and Alberta gathered in front of the legislature to kick the tires on B.C.’s newest weapon, natural gas-powered vehicles. Garbage trucks, school buses and milk truck fleets have switched from diesel to natural gas, and thanks to its abundance and low price, they’re saving 50 per cent on fuel bills. The trucks and buses eliminate particulate pollution and reduce carbon emissions by 30 per cent compared to gasoline or diesel. Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom says natural gas is being considered for BC Ferries, the largest public-sector emissions source of all, which is exempt from the carbon neutrality rule.

LETTERS
Letters to the Editor
Union members’ pay stays in community Re: “Incoming Sidney council should consider pay freeze” (Letters, Nov. 16) Mr. Tanner implied that wage increases for municipal workers are “rich.” I would like to point out the current collective agreements bargained for this year in many of the area municipal governments have been two per cent raise per year, slightly below Statistic Canada’s inflation rate for Greater Victoria. Wage increases below the inflation rate cannot be considered “rich.”
On wages in general; public-sector workers earn a living with which they can afford to live in their community, raise a family and importantly, shop in local businesses. We are all interconnected in our local economy and that is why the Canadian Union of Public Employees started a campaign to encourage members to shift spending habits from foreign-owned big box, to locally owned and operated businesses. The key to a vibrant local economy
is both a strong private and public sector, and they should be supporting each other, not attacking one another. I encourage everyone to shop local, and to respect the hardworking city workers who help make our communities great. Trevor Davies president, CUPE 374 (representing municipal workers in Sidney and North Saanich)
Readers respond: Occupy, community living, smart meters Occupy slowly finding solutions Re: ‘Occupy’ is just another squat (B.C. Views, Nov. 9) Not surprised to see Tom Fletcher joining the crowd of corporate cheerleaders in denouncing the Occupy Wall Street movement protesters as “squatters” and “spoiled young drummers and hulahoopers.” This attempt at denigrating the protesters shows how much the one per cent are being threatened by this challenge to the power they currently possess. Fletcher fails to mention that this protest is soundly backed by a majority of the working class. Unregulated corporate power and corruption has utterly failed the majority working class and has reduced the living standards for 99 per cent of society. Tax cuts to the wealthy and the “trickle-down” theory of wealth distribution has not worked to stimulate the economy. The Occupy movement is just emerging, and may seem fuzzy, but clear solutions are emerging such as: creating a “Robin Hood tax” of one per cent on all speculative financial transactions to be used to finance job creation, creating co-ops to provide products and services not driven by gouging consumers, regulating lobbyists to end corruption, limiting campaign contributions by corporations federally and provincially, adopting a form of proportional representation
so MPs and MLAs are voted in more democratically. Most “occupiers” are not those camping, although the campers are currently the “face” of the movement. Most supporters are too busy working to survive and unable to camp. Attempts like Fletcher’s to demonize the protesters shows just how much of a threat these ideas really are to the status quo and unregulated corporate capitalism. Paul Waterlander Victoria
Families driving change won’t wait How is it that the “crisis in community living” remains such a sustained conversation in BC? People from all walks of life are speaking out and weighing in, saying it is unacceptable that people with developmental disabilities and their families are denied even the most basic of services. The crisis in community living has stirred something significant in us, demanding immediate action and decisive leadership. In many ways it has become the barometer of how we are doing in BC, striking a fundamental chord of justice and fairness. So again, we must ask why this issue and why now? The answer is both simple and profound. It is the relentless and resolute voice of families who know their sons and daughters with developmental disabilities deserve good lives. They are
like other families who love and want the best for their children, but unique in a few very remarkable ways. As we have been reminded over the past months, families of children with developmental disabilities are all too frequently called upon to be courageous in the face of intimidation, unwilling to accept inadequate resources and endless wait lists. They take their stories to the streets, insisting on leading what has become an incredible public conversation. They demand accountability from governments and decision makers. We must be more than witnesses to their struggles. We are called to join with them as activists. Since the birth of the BC Association for Community Living in 1955 as a non-profit, non-government advocacy organization, the power of families coming together is undeniable. Families refuse to be sidelined, not in 1955 and not in 2011. BCACL, as a voice of families, continues to call for an external review of Community Living BC, the Crown corporation that funds supports and services. The question is, how much longer must families wait? B.C. Association for Community Living executive director Faith Bodnar
‘Forced’ smart meter program not okay Why am I opposed to the current smart meter program?
There are a number of reasons. First and foremost is it is being forced onto the people with out appropriate consultation and BC Hydro has never made a proper business case to prove the need for the program. When BC Hydro is asked questions that require real answers they refuse to answer. If they do even respond all they do is refer one to their talking points which give no real answers. Their claim that the meters will give off no more radiation than a two-minute cell phone call does not stand up to a proper analysis. That comparison is meaningless, as the range of radiation from a cell phone varies considerably depending on the phone and how far it is from a tower. The complications don’t end there. Whether they are comparing it to an analogue or continuous wave cell phone emission or to a digital pulse phone makes a considerable difference. I have asked BC Hydro for a specific answer as to how much radiation is emitted from a smart meter and they have not answered with a specific number. Do they even know the real answer? Have they seriously considered the concerns that thousands have expressed? They have not. I believe the reason they have not is because they know the answers, and if the public knew the answers they would realize their concerns are justified. Norm Ryder Victoria

How to use ointments correctly Occasionally one uses prescription or non prescription eye ointments to treat certain eye conditions, infections or diseases. If you thought eye drops were hard to aim, try figuring out how to place ointment in your eye without poking yourself. Before you use any ointment, be sure to tell your Optometrist about any other prescription or non-prescription medications you are using or allergies that you have. Here are some general tips about correctly putting ointments in your eyes. 1. Always wash your hands before handling medications. 2. Begin by expressing and discarding a 1/4 inch of ointment from the tube at each use. 3. Form a pocket by gently pulling the skin of your lower eye-lid between your thumb and index finger. Squeeze a 1⁄4” to 1⁄2” strip of ointment into the pocket. 4. Twist your wrist to break the strip of ointment from the tube. 5. After placing the ointment in your eye, blink or close your eyes briefly. Your body heat will melt the ointment so it can spread across the surface of your eyes. 6. If you are applying the ointment to the edges of your eyelids, express about a 1/2-inch strip of ointment onto your finger and glide it across the length of your closed lids near the base of your lashes. 7. Use a soft, clean tissue to remove any excess ointment from the skin around your eyes. Be sure not to disturb the ointment placed in your eyes or on the edges of your eyes. Be sure to follow all of the instructions that your doctor of optometry gives you and to complete the course of medication or treatment that he or she recommends. If you experience any side-effects (such as burning, inflammation, puffiness, itching, etc.) notify your eye care practitioner immediately.

No place to call his own Former Our Place director launches new society Roszan Holmen News staff
On a chilly morning in October, Rev. Allen Tysick warms himself with a mug of steamed milk in his new “office.” As a couple stroll by his outdoor table at Dolce Vita coffee shop on Douglas Street, he jumps up from his seat to offer them a cigarette. The small gift opens an opportunity for a few questions: Do you have a place to live? No. Can you meet me here at 9 a.m. next Monday? Yes. The former executive director of Our Place Society has traded his indoor office, support staff and $4-million budget for a cellphone, patio table and a coffee budget. The mandate of his officially registered Dandelion Society is to provide one-on-one care for those too addicted, mentally ill or violent to be easily served by other social services agencies in Greater Victoria. Dandelions are considered a weed, but they’re also a flower. “Its seeds are spread to everyone,” Tysick says in explaining the name. “Once its roots get into you, you can’t get rid of the damn thing.” The mandate of the society is “having the time to talk to people, to listen to people with dignity and compassion,” he says. That means visiting clients in jail, or dropping off a sleeping

Tysick also makes hospital visits, and will buy his clients a pack of smokes or rent them a television, if it means they’ll stay put to receive care. The goal, he says, is to connect people in need with social agencies where possible, rather than attempt to duplicate existing services. The fledgling society, however, faces an uphill battle. It has no website, and at the time of this writing, no tax number for charitable donations. To date, operations have been what Tysick describes as “internally financed.” Having no physical headquarters is a way to keep costs low, but it also comes with drawbacks. For instance, Tysick has become well acquainted with all the city’s public washrooms.

Having no work computer, Tysick is cut off from email until he returns to his home in Sooke each night. Tysick continues to use the Our Place van to do his early morning rounds, delivering coffee and doughnuts to about 60 people sleeping on the street. What Tysick does have is the backing of a six-member board. “I was waiting for Al to get retired from Our Place and back on the streets,” says board chair Ned Easton. “Al knows it and everybody knows that (Our Place) was administratively bigger than he wanted to handle and it was pulling away from the stuff that he did best, and that is actually working with people in the hours and the weather when nobody else would be there.” The board is hands-on, helping with research and other administrative tasks, but is working toward training other street outreach workers to prepare for when the time comes that Tysick retires for good. Back at “the office,” Tysick is interrupted by a man who doesn’t wait for acknowledgement before launching into a tirade about his lawyer and his difficulty filling out some application forms. Tysick gives him a hug. “I can tell you’re about to explode,” he says, congratulating the man for keeping his cool. He sets another appointment. Monday, 11 a.m., same spot. After the man leaves, Tysick confides, “I won’t take him on … He’s already well looked after.” rholmen@vicnews.com

U.S. real estate worth considering Last year when I wrote on this subject, I counseled, despite prices having plummeted by more than 30 per cent, that Canadians need to use extreme caution before plunging into the U.S. residential market as an investment. Although my caution toward such investment remains, I do feel the subject merits revisiting. A number of my clients have invested very successfully in real estate south of the border, usually in select areas of
California. Others have not fared well, taking major paper losses on their investment. The primary key to success seems to be in locating areas where the selling prices are significantly depressed, but the rental market is strong. This anomaly is showing up in quite a few towns and cities where sadly, folks have lost their homes, but still need a place to live. Their solution is to rent. Lenders are generally unwilling to have tenants in foreclosed properties, so the displaced parties must find other rental solutions. Some Canadian purchasers have not only bought residential properties in California or Arizona, at about one half their value of three years previously, but also immediately rented them out to residents of the area. Some owners
Peter Dolezal Real Savvy
have achieved, after all costs, including property management, consistent returns of around 10 per cent. The objective was not to cater to the vacation-rental crowd, but rather to the longterm residential tenant. This investment option is not without risk. But if one is young enough to be patient however, earning a return-on-investment approaching 10 per cent, while awaiting the inevitable market upswing a few years down the road may
produce handsome capital gains. Long-term investment in the U.S. housing market is clearly not for those who are retired or nearing retirement. However, for the younger investor who can afford to accept a decades-long time horizon, and who researches and purchases carefully, the U.S. residential market may represent a unique opportunity for both income, and eventually, significant capital gains.

Wednesday, Wednesday, November November 23, 23, 2011 2011 -- PENINSULA PENINSULA NEWS NEWS REVIEW REVIEW
Fundraising dynamo honoured International association recognizes Jeneece Edroff Natalie North News staff
When Jeneece Edroff was seven and raised $164 to support Variety — The Children’s Charity through a penny drive at Northridge elementary, her mother thought the fundraising effort was cute. “I was proud she was even able to do that,� Angie Edroff said. “But to see where she’s come from to where she’s at today — those are two very different perspectives.� Her daughter, diagnosed at three with neurofibromatosis, a disease which causes tumours to grow on nerve roots of her spine, raised $27,000 in her second year with Variety. She has since raised millions for causes including the B.C. Neurofibromatosis Foundation and Easter Seals Camp Shawnigan. In 2009 Jeneece launched her dream project, Jeneece Place, a home-away-fromhome for children and their families who require medical treatment in Victoria.
The campaign led to her receipt of a 2012 Changing Our World/Simms Award for Outstanding Youth in Philanthropy, announced by the Association of Fundraising Professionals Nov. 15. Jeneece will be recognized this spring in Vancouver at the association’s International Conference on Fundraising. “When I found out, I was absolutely astounded,� she said. “I didn’t expect to win that huge award. It was out of the blue. It made my day.� “It’s recognition for her — spreading the word that we need to fix some things in our own backyard sometimes,� Angie added. “She’s found a way to do that quite well and I think that’s what we’re both quite proud of.� Now in Grade 12 at Claremont secondary, Jeneece continues to travel to Vancouver for treatment. This year, she endured two surgeries to remove tumours that were in the process of metastasizing from benign to malignant, as well as one knee surgery. She begins another round of chemotherapy this week. Ninety-five per cent of the $5.5 million needed to construct Jeneece Place was raised in just 14 months, with the 17-year-old clocking hundreds of hours toward the

The retailer is selling bouquets and Christmas trees to raise money for Help Fill A Dream Foundation. effort. The facility is slated to open adjacent to Victoria General Hospital on Jan. 20. Andrew Watt, president and CEO of the Association of Fundraising Professionals, said Jeneece offers a reminder that everyone, regardless of circumstance, can be a philanthropist and make an impact. “If her story was just limited to overcoming (neurofibromatosis) and being able to walk, it would have been amazing,� Watt said in a media release. “But the astounding heights she has reached in bringing
people together and raising funds — generating millions of dollars before the age of 18 — is phenomenal.� Jane Bowers, manager of special events for the Queen Alexandra Foundation for Children nominated Jeneece for the award after meeting “the little dynamo� at the onset of the Jeneece Place project and collaborating ever since. “We’re grateful and inspired by everything that she does,� Bowers said. editor@peninsula newsreview.com

Panthers split weekend VIJHL takes over ownership of Peninsula team Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
Friday sucked for the Peninsula Panthers. “Friday night was not a fantastic night,” said coach Rob Armstrong. “We got into some penalty trouble.” The team was up 3-2 heading into the third period of the game against the Saanich Braves, but couldn’t hold on for the win. The players had learned that night that the team’s ownership
was reverting to the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League. Whether the news affected them or not, they got over it enough to provide entertainment in Comox the next night. They won 3-2 over the Glacier Kings who sit atop the north division and are league leaders in scoring. “We were blocking shots and throwing checks. The fans up there got their money’s worth,” Armstrong said. Cole Peterson scored the winner with 19 seconds left; it was his second goal and third point of the night. Wade Bartlett notched the first goal of the game. This Friday night the Panthers are in Campbell River. The
last showdown between Peninsula and the Storm netted several game suspensions for both teams. Sunday afternoon the Panthers face the Victoria Cougars at Archie Browning Arena in Esquimalt. “Every time we see them there’s definitely some history there,” Armstrong said. The Panthers ousted Victoria from the playoffs in a Game 7 last spring. The team is taking the season game-by-game and Armstrong sees an ownership change as a “clean slate.” “We’re hoping it’s a good thing,” he said. reporter@peninsulanews review.com

Friday night lacrosse lights up university
player of the year. He’s the first Mount Douglas Ram to earn the honour. It comes on the heels of Davis’ 150 yards rushed against Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers on Friday. Also announced on Monday were Rams receiver Taylor Young to the 2011 AAA Provincial All-Star Team for offence and Mitch Ottosen for defence. The Rams defeated Surrey 42-29 in the B.C. High School football quarterfinal playoff game at Bear Mountain Stadium in Langford on Friday. Coincidentally, the junior sides, featuring Terrell’s brother Marcus (Grade 10) met as well with the Rams winning that game 34-15.

Mount Douglas Rams running back Terrell Davis is B.C.’s player of the year. Like his namesake, Terrell Davis is a star on the gridiron. Four years ago the North Saanich teen was still wearing lacrosse shoulder pads under his football jersey when he won the Island’s Gold Cup as a junior bantam Saanich Wolverine in June of 2008. Davis has come a long way from his days as a duel sport all-star, when he had lacrosse coaches salivating at his speed and size. But unlike his dad, a former Victoria Shamrock, Terrell is sticking with football, having committed to the Washington State Cougars for the 2012 NCAA season.

Singers celebrate 10 years of Winspear Christmases Spotlight on a Young Artist features 11-yearold Aline Dumalski Peninsula Singers celebrate a decade of kicking off Christmas with song at the Mary Winspear Centre with a trio of concerts next month. “I know from the responses we get after our concerts that we’ve been lifting people’s spirits and getting them in the Christmas mood, but it’s hard to believe this is our 10th year at Mary Winspear,� said artistic director Glenda Korella. “I like to think that we get better each year and find a way to make the good ol’ songs enjoyable while still bringing the audience new songs that celebrate the season.� There will be mini-themes in the shows, around travel — to warmer climates like Australia and Hawaii — and snow, as in Let It Snow and The Christmas Waltz. Also included will be songs
Aline Dumalski celebrating the love of family and friends, such as John Rutter’s I Wish You Christmas. The chorus will reprise the popular Christmas in a Minute, a parody of Chopin’s Minute Waltz, where the women fret about all the labour-intensive work around Christmas and the men sit back and wonder about the fuss.

The Peninsula Singers prepare for snow as part of the upcoming Christmas concert. Singers’ resident storyteller.

Mozart, Eulogy start Sidney orchestra season The popular Sidney Classical Orchestra is set to launch an exciting 19th season. After a bit of a break in the 2009-10 season, they came back with a three-concert series last year and are offering a similar selection this season. “We are back on our feet,” said artistic director Stephen Brown, who will conduct two of three concerts in the series. “We are running on a much smaller budget, and our capacity to do larger works is not there anymore,” Brown said. “However, the music we will be presenting is great stuff and still of a very high caliber. The season will be composed of two orchestral concerts and a solo piano recital. It should be three, very fine musical evenings.”
Stephen Brown The concerts will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Friday nights at St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church, 10030 Third Street, Sidney. The first concert, Mozart Elegance and Joy, is this Friday (Nov. 25). It will feature Mozart’s first

truly great piano concerto, No. 9 in E flat major, K. 271, Jeunehomme. This concerto has been admired by audiences and critics ever since the 21-year-old Mozart wrote it in 1777. Pianist Robert Holliston, well known for his Pacific Opera talks, is the soloist. Holliston has performed with orchestra previously, as the soloist in Beethoven, Brahms, and Brown concertos. Brown’s own Eulogy for Meghan Reid, a work for string orchestra, will also be on the bill. “Last year we performed the premiere of this work,” he said. “It was extremely well received. Many people wrote or phoned to tell me how much it affected them. I was deeply moved by this and thought we should play it again.” Rounding off the programme
This season � Jan. 13 — Four Concerto Evening � March 30 — Beethoven solo piano recital � Concerts begin at 7:30 p.m. at St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church, 10030 Third St., Sidney.
will be one of Haydn’s middle period symphonies, No. 59, the Fire Symphony. “We think of Haydn as somewhat of a genteel composer, not containing the raw emotions of a Beethoven,” Brown said. “Not so, his Sturm und Drang (storm and stress) period was just that. Themes get tossed about with abandon, it’s great.”
Guitar First Lady on stage tonight Liona Boyd, with special guest Michael Savona, will take the stage by storm at the Mary Winspear Centre tonight. The winner of five Juno Awards and one of the world’s leading classical guitarists, Boyd, known as The First Lady of the Guitar, has introduced millions around the world to the art of classical guitar through her concerts, television specials and recordings. She has composed many original pieces in a wide range of styles from Renaissance, baroque, classical, romantic, to contemporary pop and nuevo Latino. Boyd and Savona perform tonight, Nov. 23 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $55. Visit www.marywinspear.ca for ticket information.

David Foster event chairs announced Star-studded gala, concert planned for next May Longtime volunteers and philanthropists Eric Charman and Michael (Benj) O’Connor have been chosen to co-chair the David Foster Foundation’s 25th anniversary Miracle Concert and Gala in 2012. Held at the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre, the Miracle Concert and Gala is a key celebration during a weekend that promises to bring some of North America’s brightest stars, including music producer David
Foster, to Victoria. “Having the expertise and clout of two of Victoria’s most outstanding citizens … is a home run for us,” said Michael Ravenhill, CEO of the David Foster Foundation. “Between the two of them, Eric and Benj have raised millions of dollars for this community already. We have a significant fundraising goal, but with these two at the helm, I have no doubt we will get there.” On May 26, Foster will bring back his popular Hitman Show for the Miracle Concert. The performance is being held in conjunction with a star-studded

DEATHS
ELEANOR MARY FLINT April 23, 1913 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; November 13, 2011
Predeceased by Tom, her husband of 65 years in 1998, son Peter in 1938 and great grandson Brian in 2003. She leaves her son Gerry (Fran) Flint, grandchildren Susan (Bruce) Walders, Chris(Nicola) Flint, Great grandchildren Lynda (LeeRoy), Michelle (Dan), Brock and Shane, her Great great grandsons Pierce, Mason and Dustin, along with several nieces and nephews and close friends. Her love, generosity, care and concern for all of us will be cherished always. Eleanor was born in Cobridge Staffs, England, the eldest of four children. She earned entrance to Cambridge University while attending Brown Hills School for girls where she excelled in English literature. She had a remarkable memory and recognized all acquaintances, and with genuine interest enquired after their well being and that of their families. The Flint family, along with Tomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother Joe and his family emigrated to Sidney in 1948. Tom and Eleanor purchased Beacon Motors, which later became Flint Motors Ltd. Three generations of the family operated the business from 1948 to 1991. She was the stabilizing influence pertaining to the financial end of the business. Her motto was â&#x20AC;&#x153;look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselvesâ&#x20AC;?. Eleanor was active in the Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Anns, Save the Children and was founding secretary of the SPAC. Following their retirement she and Tom enjoyed many winters in California where family and friends were always warmly welcomed. Our grateful thanks to Dr. Kennedy and the attentive, caring staff in the South ward and extended care of SPH. The Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation and Save the Children Fund were her favourite charities and in lieu of flowers, donations to one of these or the charity of your choice would be a welcome tribute to her memory. A memorial tea will be held at Capital City Yacht Club, Blue Heron Road Sidney, BC in January and will be announced at a later date.

Train Locally – The only program of its kind in BC, students can learn within their local communities via distance education, local and/or regional clinical placements, and some regional classroom delivery. This 23 month program is accredited by the College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of BC (CRPNBC). Government student loans, Employment & Labour Market Services (ELMS), band funding & other financing options available to qualified applicants.
