Tour offers different perspective Young Life stages annual tour of renos, new home builds Don Descoteau News staff

It’s been 15 years since Dianne and Larry Cross first updated their Sidney home. In the years since, they haven’t always been happy with how things turned out. At times they felt they did the right things to incorporate Dianne’s spinning, weaving and rug-hooking business into the front of their living space. At others they lamented not taking a different tack. With Larry retired from a long school district career and focusing most of his attention on being mayor of Sidney, and Dianne having scaled back her operations, last summer they finally made the changes they had long dreamed about. A renovation guided by Central Saanich designer Lana Lounsbury gave them the layout they want. “It’s just lovely having this new kitchen,” Dianne said. “This latest reno brought the house up to date and made it more workable for our lifestyle.”

Their renovations and others that have created a more suitable work/home environment are among the highlights on this year’s 22nd annual Young Life Victoria Home and Renovation Tour fundraiser April 14 and 15. Among other changes on this year’s tour include cutting back the number of homes to 10 – so visitors can chat with homeowners, designers and builders, said Young Life spokesperson Bill Okell – and including more houses with spectacular vistas. “[It’s nice] when you get to see a home that has a different attraction,” he said. “Not only are some of them working homes, others have just stunning views.” Among the upgrades the Crosses did were to spruce up Dianne’s studio, redo their hardwood floors, repaint in various rooms and buy new furniture. The scope of the tour was narrow in the early years, Okell said, focusing mainly on smallscale renos such as kitchen or bathroom makeovers. “Now it’s new homes and

whole house renos,” he said. Funds raised through the Home and Renovation Tour go toward local youth programs organized by Young Life, and to help defray the costs of running the national organization’s Rockridge camp near Princeton, B.C. Young Life Victoria, a Christian-based group, celebrated its 50th year in 2011 and has clubs at six area high schools. Outside of school, volunteer mentors lead youth on everything from recreational sports activities to movie outings. They also provide peer counselling to groups and one on one. “I think what has been so impressive to see is that Young Life does have a great reputation with people [in Victoria], and that comes out of their own positive experiences,” said Kevin Scott, area director for Young Life Canada’s Victoria group. Tickets for the tour are $25 each and are available by calling 250-634-3223 or visit www. younglife.ca/victoriahometour and click on ticket outlets. editor@vicnews.com

Memorandum denial prompts property listing Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

While the proposal in its current form may never see the day of light, a plan for Sandown isn’t out of the works – from two different angles. “I don’t think it’s dead at all,” said North Saanich councillor Dunstan Browne. “We’ll settle Sandown. I’m not too worried.” Browne was among four councillors who voted down a memorandum of understanding that was critical to the proposal that would see 83 acres of land become district owned. The MOU included a list of the Agricultural Land Commission’s requirements for a 12-acre land swap within the ALR of property near McDonald Park Road for municipal property. Under the proposal, the 12 acres removed from the land reserve would be rezoned commercial. “Negotiations never stop until the actual ink is dry,” Browne said During the April 2 meeting, Browne suggested creating a negotiating team including Mayor Alice Finall and himself to talk to the ALC and the property owners. He backed off on making an official

motion when Finall, and municipal staff suggested it would be in conflict. “It wasn’t the time to bring it back, I certainly will be pressing to continue the negotiations. As far as I’m concerned it’s not off,” Browne said. “All we said Monday night was, ‘we do not now want a memorandum of understanding.’ … It’s agricultural zoned, that’s enough.” The North Saanich councillor said he’d

support the Farmlands Trust Society if it could come up with the funds to acquire the land. “What we want is 83 acres of land dedicated to agriculture in North Saanich. Quite frankly, I don’t care who owns it,” Browne said. “There’s no reason it shouldn’t happen, it just can’t happen on the same basis.” Ed Johnson, of Farmlands Trust, said he was surprised at the step council took last week denying the memoran-

“We’re in the process of listing it … We are moving on. There is no deal so obviously we have to move.” – Bill Randall dum. FLT had already put a plan in place in hopes of managing the land for the district. With the change, he said, they’re now looking to purchase. “We’ve had one dicsussion with Mr. [Bill] Randall and he’s invited us to make a proposal, so that’s what we’re

going to do,” Johnson said. Randall represents the family ownership of the lots that make up the former horse race track. “I’ve talked to the ALC and they’re very adamant they want to see this land turned into agricultural use,” Johnson said. The FLT

plan includes using the grandstand area for a market, concerts and community events. There are many options, Johnson noted including raised beds for a community garden and agricultural land remediated by new farmers. “We’re just moving ahead with our same plan,” he said. “We’ll be looking for financial donations and volunteers to get involved because that’s who we’re doing it for.” The landowners, in

the meantime, are moving on. “We’re in the process of listing it … We are moving on. There is no deal so obviously we have to move,” Randall said. “Council basically has spoken. They’ve decided what they want to do.” While he says there has been a conversation with Farmlands Trust, there are no other proposals on the table. reporter@peninsulanews review.com

from high school for the final time. Following a year of bottle drives, raffles and a plethora of other fundraising events, Parkland secondary school grad students host Fashion Showcase, where 35 students model clothing, including grad wear, from various Sidney stores in support of their graduation in June. “The fashion show is our biggest fundraiser,” said event chair Kayla Collins. “I am excited to grad and it is a great opportunity to do a show with your friends. This is the last thing we do together before we grad.” The fundraiser subsidizes their year-end event, with every $10 ticket sold going toward the price of the dinner, dance and all-night after-grad celebration for the 176 Grade 12 students leaving Parkland in June. “It is important we raise money for our graduation,” the 17-year-old Grade 12 student said. “It is monumental, and it is sad. It is our last thing together … It puts in perspective we are not going to see each other [anymore].” Fashion Showcase is open to the public, not just parents and students of the school, and will be accompanied by a silent auc-

Residential school survivors tell their truths in two-day event Roszan Holmen News staff

Up to 3,000 people are expected to participate in a Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada event at the Victoria Conference Centre on Friday, April 13. The public can attend the twoday event, which is mandated, in part, to inform Canadians about what happened during the nearly 150-year history of residential schools. This understanding aims to guide and inspire a process of reconciliation and renewed relationship, according to the terms of the commission. Since Feb. 27, the national commission has been working its way down Vancouver Island, holding smaller hearings in Port

In the days leading up to the larger regional event in Victoria, aboriginal groups are preparing to support their members emotionally through the process. “The impact of those schools is felt today,” said Bruce Parisian, executive director of the Victoria Native Friendship Centre. “Many people who come to programs and services in this organization know about it and

are prepared to go and tell their stories. People have to get those stories out so they can move on with life and let the healing process continue.” The event is also an opportunity to document what’s happened across the country, he said. The commission was established with a $60-million budget. It is one part of the 2007 Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement, which resulted from a class-action lawsuit launched by former residential school students. Students, their families and people who taught at the schools are invited to share their experiences this weekend in Victoria. For more details or to register, visit www.trc.ca. rrholmen@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW

Give kids the gift of health The Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology wants children to move more and sit less, essentially, so they won’t become fat. The group wants them to grow up healthy and last week released what it says are the first guidelines for the ‘early years’. Not surprisingly, they call for less screen time – TV, laptops, iPods and smart phones. Parents can start No doubt kids today spend a lot of by setting a good time staring a such example for youth screens – watching videos, playing games, browsing and texting. But many are also active – walking to and from school, playing sports, taking part in track and field, martial arts or dance. They ride bikes, run and skateboard. Still, many are overweight. The main reason isn’t so much screen time as what they put into their bodies: sugar and fat. And it’s not just pizza and pop, hamburgers, chips or cookies. So-called sport drinks can contain as much sugar as a slushee. Specialty coffees and hot chocolate are loaded with calories. We consume such products despite healthy eating programs devised and promoted by our provincial government, even though we know better. We do so out of convenience and because many items that aren’t healthy taste good. So have a little, not a lot – and not often. Buy more fruits and vegetables, whole grains and lean meats. Grow lettuce and berries in pots on your deck. Turn off the TV, the video game console, take away the iPods and cellphones. Cook and eat together, as a family, even if only once or twice a week. It’s a good habit to get into. Start by setting a good example for your kids, and hopefully they’ll develop the healthy habits the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology so desires. Consider it a gift – their health. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@peninsulanewsreview.com or fax 250-656-5526.

So far they’re against gas taxes, especially the carbon tax, against a second Metro Vancouver garbage incinerator, and in favour of fixing the “catch and release” justice system. These are the slogans that stand in for actual policies needed to govern. Cummins will be going door to door in the by-elections, especially in Chilliwack-Hope, where he believes his upstart party has a real shot at winning. He offers a telling anecdote about the last time he was door-knocking in Port Moody, the premier’s former hometown. The B.C. Liberals have suggested the B.C. Conservatives chose Christine Clarke as their candidate to capitalize on the premier’s name recognition. That wasn’t what Cummins and his previously unknown candidate found when they first started campaigning. “She’d say hi, my name is Christine Clarke, and the doors would close rather quickly,” Cummins said. Now she identifies herself as the B.C. Conservative candidate, then gives her name. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Readers respond: Sandown decision not representative

come forward to offer help with land mediation and management. This was a win-win proposal, supported by a majority of North Saanich residents. Our elected officials are here to represent the whole community, not merely their friends or people who agree with them. North Saanich residents would be wise to stay informed and participate in any future processes or they may not be happy with the direction taken. Diane Ferguson North Saanich

Reader frustrated feeling Councillors ‘killed’ betrayed by council Sandown proposal I would like to express my frustration and sense of betrayal following the council meeting of Monday, April 2. Councillors Craig Mearns, Dunstan Browne, Conny McBride and Ted Daly have defeated the proposal for the Sandown property as negotiated over the past 18 months and put forward in a thorough written document by the staff of North Saanich municipality. The total disregard for the wishes of the majority of residents in favour of this proposal has resulted in the loss of future tax revenues, construction jobs while the commercial property was being built and permanent jobs after the commercial development was complete. On top of that the community has lost control of land that could have contributed to food production and marketing and wild spaces with walking trails. Many community groups have

Events

Sandown proposal

I am very disappointed that North Saanich councillors Browne, Daly, McBride and Mearns chose to ignore the wishes of a strong majority of residents when they killed the Sandown proposal. At numerous council meetings citizens urged these four ideologically-motivated individuals to listen to the wishes of the people who took the time to sign petitions, write letters, make phone calls, and attend meetings. They refused, and now the proposal is dead. I hope that people remember how these four councillors voted on this issue, and remove them from office as soon as possible. It is important that people feel that their elected representatives are, indeed, representative of them. When this kind of stunt is pulled it weakens democracy, and increases cynicism.

Neither of those two outcomes are desirable. Chris Bocking North Saanich

Staff, mayor built promising plan North Saanich Mayor Alice Finall and the staff of the District of North Saanich, under the leadership of Rob Buchan, should be commended for the brilliant Sandown proposal. The vision they presented would have been a tremendous asset to the community -- not just the ownership of farmland worth $2.4 million, but also the creation of a tax revenue stream

that would have contributed millions to the North Saanich coffers, and the jobs that would have been realized from the commercial development. Perhaps more importantly, the creation of an 83-acre publiclyowned farm would have provided the community with a place to unite over a positive, forwardthinking vision that would have benefitted all residents well into the future. In rejecting this proposal, councillors Browne, Daly, Mearns and McBride gave us nothing but fractiousness and division. Bernadette Greene North Saanich

extremely grateful for their kindness and compassion. Riki Philpott My sincere thanks to the gentleman who found my wallet at the Fairway Market in Sidney on March 14 and turned it in. Your kindness is very much appreciated. Richard Sparke I would like to send a big beef to whoever stole my dog’s jacket. On Saturday, March 17 around 3 p.m., while we were doing some gardening, our little King Charles Cavalier wandered off wearing her bright yellow and blue

safety jacket. We suspect she was on the path behind our home in the Horth Hill – Readings/Hillgrove/Sumac area). After noticing she was not nearby, we called her and she returned without her jacket. It would be impossible for her to remove the jacket by herself, it has a top zipper closure and is something she could not slip out of without assistance. The jacket is bright yellow, water repellent, quilted fabric with a bright blue zipper, reflective trim, with a green crest on the chest, the make is Waghearted in size small. We think it’s despicable that someone would strip her of her jacket. What a violation. Sandy Shams

The photo of a young Emily Carr that inspired the play Emily Carr and Victoria Growing up Together. The one-person play comes to the Charlie White Theatre April 14 and 15.

Peek into Emily Carr’s younger years in a Fringe play headed for the Charlie White Theatre. “It introduces an Emily Carr nobody ever thinks of, when she was young,” said Tony Cashman who wrote the one-person show. “Everyone thinks about her as the bag lady with a monkey on her shoulder … when she was younger she was a conventional citizen of Victoria.” The audience meets Carr at age 37 in October 1908, as she prepares to meet a friend for tea at the newly opened Empress Hotel. “They grew up together, that’s the premise of the play,” Cashman said. He wrote the script from Carr’s own words from books like her little known A Little Town and a Little Girl. The play was put before audiences in August 2011 during the Edmonton International Theatre Fringe Festival. “We had it at the Fringe and the reviewers didn’t like it … but the Emily Carr fans, they loved it,” Cashman said. After the show, the audience can interact with the famous Victoria artist. “After each show the guests are going to be invited to meet the artist and see some of her ‘current’ works,” said local producer Carolyn Stout of North Saanich. “Victoria Art Gallery is supportive of this and is providing reproductions of her works from the period.” Emily Carr and Victoria, Growing up Together plays April 14 at 7:30 p.m. and April 15 at 2 p.m. in the Charlie White Theatre. Tickets are $15; available online at www.marywinspear.ca. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

David Gogo, one of Canada’s hardest-working blues-rock guitarists, is appearing in Victoria on Saturday, April 14. Gogo has garnered three Juno nominations, the Saturday Night Blues’ Great Canadian Blues Award for a lifetime contribution to the blues in Canada, WCMA Musician of the Year, and has twice been named Maple Blues Guitarist of the Year. Over the years, Gogo has performed with blues and rock legends B.B. King, Bo Diddley, George Thorogood, ZZ Top, and numerous others – most recently touring with Johnny Winter on Canada’s west coast. Gogo is touring in support of his latest release Soul Bender.

The disc features new tracks, some Gogo originals and a few covers that run the gamut of sources and styles infused with a Gogo twist. Soul Bender is a sizzling, hard-rocking blues album that is filled with heavy grooves, grit and emotion. See Canadian blues legend David Gogo at Hermann’s Jazz Club, 753 View St., Doors at 6 p.m. with the show at 8 p.m. Tickets are $23.50 or $25 at the door, they are available at hightideconcerts.net, Lyle’s Place, 770 Yates St., Ditch Records, 784 Fort St., and the McPherson box office.

Vision Matters Matters Dr. Paul Neumann

Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

How to use EYE DROPS correctly Occasionally one uses prescription or non prescription eye drops to treat certain eye conditions, infections or diseases. It is always a battle to try and aim the drop so that it has a perfect “landing” without most of the contents running down your face. Before you use any eye drops, be sure to tell your Optometrist about any other prescription or nonprescription medications that you are taking or any allergies that you have.

CHOOSE ONE: Check cardiac arrest patient’s oxygen level Assess a six year- old with head trauma Give pain med to burn victim Hire more nurses

Here are some general tips about correctly putting eye drops in your eyes. 1. Look at the ceiling by standing or sitting and tilting your head backwards. Some people like to lie down on a flat surface. 2. The best way to ensure the drop remains in your eye is to gently pull the skin of your lower eyelid between your thumb and index finger to create a “pocket” for the drop. If you are unable to master this, gently pull your lower lid down with your index finger. 3. Look up (so you are not looking directly at the bottle) and gently release a drop into the pocket of your eye. Keep the bottle’s nozzle or the eyedropper clean by not touching it to any part of your eyes. 4. If you are unable to get the drop into you eye because of blinking, try this: close your eye and pull the lower lid down. Aim the drop into the inside corner of your eye. Open your eye and let the drop run into your lower lid. (Be sure to try the open-eye method at your next scheduled dose as it is a more reliable way to ensure the drop remains in your eye). 5. To help keep the medication in your eye and prevent it from escaping through the tear duct, your optometrist may instruct you to “occlude” this duct by gently pressing on the inside corner of your closed eye with your index finger for about three minutes. If drops have been placed in both eyes, you can perform occlusion by placing your thumb and index finger (or the index fingers of both hands) on either side of your nose and gently pressing down on the inside corners of both closed eyes. This step is very important with some medications, so do not skip it if your doctor specifies it. 6. Gently blot your closed eyes with a tissue to wipe away any excess drops. 7. If you use more than one kind of drop, wait at least five minutes between drops. Be sure to follow all of the instructions that your doctor of optometry gives you and to complete the course of medication or treatment he or she recommends. If you experience any side-effects, (such as burning, inflammation, puffiness, itching, etc.) notify your eye care practitioner immediately. Many eye drops should be thrown away six weeks after being opened. Ask your pharmacist at the time of purchase.

With more patients than ever, nurses are forced to make difficult choices about who receives care first. When it comes to safer care, the choice is clear: hire more nurses.

The Winspear Centre will be filled with birds, fish and marine mammals as well as the artists that created them as the The Pacific Brant Carving and Art Show comes to the Peninsula. Pegged as B.C.’s largest wildlife art show and woodcarving competition there will be displays, auctions, wood turning, workshops and demonstrations featuring the Island’s top wildlife artists. “We were getting some declining attendance by the public and we thought we would just try Victoria,” said show chair Dennis Drechsler. “This is probably our last gasp for Victoria.” The Pacific Brant Carving and Art Show originated in the Parksville area. In 1991, volunteers from the Mid Island Wildlife Watch Society organized the first Brant Wildlife Festival – including a wood carving competition – to be held every April when the Pacific Brant Geese stop in the area to rest and feed before continuing to their Arctic breeding grounds. In 2006, the Nature Trust of British Columbia, took over and in 2010 the wood carving show was moved to Victoria and re-named the Pacific Brant Carving and Art Show. “We thought with Mary Winspear being an arts centre we might have some success. We’re very hopeful,” Drechsler said. “It’s always been what we call a wildlife woodcarving show and competition,” he added. The competitors are divided into different skill levels novice through expert and carvers compete. By winning ribbons they work their way up into the expert category. “When people come into the show there will be tables set up … that’s for the wildlife carvers. And then there’s a series of fish carvers as well, and some wood turners,” he said. Wood turning was added last year and drew a decent amount of competitors.

Great Horned Owl by carver Darrel Wilson of Calgary. Ribbons first through third are awarded in each discipline and category. Then there’s the coveted “best in division” and “best of show” ribbons within each skill level. Saturday there are live carver demonstrations all day, and in the evening a live auction and an awards ceremony. A silent auction continues throughout both days. Proceeds are split between the carver and the club. Sunday Cam Merkle, who placed second in master class in world competition in 2010 will demonstrate painting the Stellar Jay. “He’s very accomplished and the painting demonstration will be very interesting,” Drechsler said. It’s slated to be their largest show to date and will feature the Island’s top wildlife artists and photographers. The Pacific Brant Carving and Art Show is April 14 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. and April 15 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Bodine Family Hall of the Mary Winspear Centre in Sidney. Admission is $7. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

To test, take a piece of paper towel and wet it, spread seeds on it and cover with another wet paper towel. Put on a source of heat (top of the fridge, hot water heater or suspended just above a heating cable). Viable seeds should show a white root within 10 days, and be ready to transplant into soil, either inside, or if hardy, outside.

Moms day meets Mercy

Mothers in May organizer Scott Barber. “The event can even be as simple as hosting a meal or an afternoon barbecue. The most important part of Mercy for Mothers in May is simply getting together with friends and family and raising awareness of women’s health projects provided by Mercy Ships.” To register an event for Mothers’ Day weekend, May 11 to 13, visit www.mercyships.ca. “Sharing time together celebrating the mercy that Motherhood has shared with each of us is a joyful thing,” said Tim Maloney, Canadian national director of Mercy Ships. “On behalf of the mother who cannot say thank you, we express the deepest gratitude and heartfelt thanks.” reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

HEALTHY LIFESTYLES Researcher seeks families for healthy eating study

CAN YOU IDENTIF Y THIS FAMOUS CANADIAN ARTIST?

No? Well it’s Emily Carr...in her thirties

Natalie North News staff

Featuring Rebecca Starr as the artist as a young woman

With childhood obesity on the rise, health professionals and researchers alike are seeking ways to ensure the next generation grows up healthy. David Trill, a master’s degree candidate in the School of Exercise Science, Health and Physical Education at the University of Victoria, is studying child health through healthy eating activities. He’s currently seeking participants to get his home-based research project off the ground. “There’s been a lot of school-based research, but it’s working up to a certain point,” Trill said. “My approach is to try healthy eating strategies through the families because it’s the parents who are the gatekeepers for the kids.” Trill would like the help of 98 family units consisting of one parent and one child between the age of 11 and 13 years old. (Larger families may participate, though data will only be recorded from one parent and one child per family.) The goal of the project, slated for a late-

Patti-Jean Naylor and David Trill hold up a platter of healthy foods. The researchers are seeking participants for a healthy eating study conducted through UVic’s School of Exercise Science, Health and Physical Education. April start, is to teach simple, healthy nutritional strategies, such as cooking together, that both parents and children can take part in. It will require completing about 10 to 12 hours of activities during its eight-week duration. “I’m engaged in the research world. I’m also a very slight cooking aficionado,” said Trill, an endurance athlete, who has long seen food as a means of bettering physical performance.

“I think a fantastic way to cope (with) and prevent (ailments and illness) is through enhanced nutritional diet, and that comes with a better nutritional understanding and a bit of passion about food. It’s something that we all have to do everyday, three times a day.” For more information, or to participate in the study, contact Trill at 250-853-3141 or dtrill@uvic.ca. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Posture Awareness Sitting, standing, and performing tasks with posture that minimizes the strain on the spine and associated muscles is a worthy goal to achieve. Your spine is composed of 24 vertebrae all stacked upon one another creating distinct curves that are necessary for proper spinal health. Ideally our head should be balanced on top. We often fall in to patterns that may exaggerate these curves or force them in to the opposite direction for prolonged periods unknowingly. This sets the stage for painful symptoms of neck and backache to develop. Common patterns include slouching while standing or sitting. This exaggerates the mid-back curve putting the ligaments and muscles under strain. Slouching while sitting also flattens the neck curve while putting the lower back in to a flexed position. This puts a tremendous strain on the discs of the spine. Another common habit contributing to spinal strain is reading in bed with the pillow forcing your neck to slowly distort as your chin nears your chest. Over time, these poor postures may contribute to disc damage including herniations and degenerative arthritis. Identifying and improving your daily postures is your chiropractors proactive measure to keep your spinal column flexible and functional for short-term relief of symptoms and long-term maintenance for spinal health and wellness.
