Fire destroys farm storage Damage estimated in the hundreds of thousands of dollars Devon MacKenzie News staff

A fire at a Saanich Peninsula farm Wednesday night ripped through a storage area and created a cloud of smoke that could be seen as far as Victoria. But according to farm owner Ian Vantreight, the blaze could have been far more devastating to their day-to-day operation. “There was some equipment destroyed and we lost some valuable stuff but we were lucky the fire didn’t move into any of the other buildings,” Vantreight said of the blaze that happened at their facility on Central Saanich Road. “As far as basic production, we’re day to day, and thankfully it wasn’t the warehouse, greenhouses or shop which would have certainly made an impact. But were working and picking product like we normally would so that’s the good news.” The fire erupted around 7 p.m. on Sept. 19 and smoke and flames could be seen coming from the property. “We got a call right around seven that came in as a grass fire at Vantreight but it was quickly upgraded to a structure fire,” explained Ron French, Central Saanich fire chief.

A Boxer attracts some attention as its owner waits in line for the Mill Bay Ferry in Brentwood Bay recently.

Arrest made in scam case SIDNEY â€” Sidney North Saanich RCMP, Central Saanich police and the Island District Federal Commercial Crime Section worked together last week to arrest a scammer who had been posing as a handy man around the Peninsula. On Sept. 17, the three groups arrested the 45-year-old for fraud, but he has since been released on the condition that he is not to perform any work requiring certification under the B.C. Safety Authority. He is scheduled to appear in provincial court in Victoria on Oct. 24. Police are reminding people to con-

duct checks with the Better Business Bureau and the B.C. Safety Authority to confirm the validity of business licences prior to hiring anyone to perform work at their residence. Police also suggest that peple get a second opinion prior to having work completed by a contractor. Sidney North Saanich RCMP are proactively delivering safety presentations to area seniors to educate them on matters related to fraudulent scams.

Vantreight estimated the losses to be significant, but said he doesn’t feel that it will impact any operations. “We haven’t talked to the insurance company or anything but I estimate the damage is going to be in the hundreds of thousands (of dollars,)” he said, but added that the disaster could have been worse. “The damage won’t have an immediate impact right now because we’ve just gotten past the season where we needed those crates. “We’re just lucky it didn’t get any farther into the buildings where there’s petroleum products, propane and stuff like that.” reporter@peninsula newsreview.com

Poll finds support for a B.C. oil refinery Black Press chairman formed Kitimat Clean; financing an environmental assessment

FALL

SALE

Tom Fletcher Black Press

Kitimat Clean Ltd. has applied for environmental assessment of a proposed oil refinery, after commissioning a poll that found nearly three out of four B.C. residents support the idea. A province-wide phone survey conducted during September found 78 per cent of respondents were aware of the proposal to build a large refinery at Kitimat to process Alberta heavy crude oil. Provincially, 72 per cent either favoured or were “somewhat supportive” of the proposed $13 billion refinery, which would ship gasoline, diesel and aviation fuel to market rather than tankers of diluted bitumen. Kitimat Clean president David Black said he was pleasantly surprised that so many people have heard of the refinery proposal, and that most support the idea. “Obviously the concept has struck a chord with the public,” he said. Black remains chairman of Black Press Ltd., and formed Kitimat Clean as a separate company to pursue the refinery project. He is financing the provincial environmental assessment for it, which he expects to take two years and cost several million dollars.

A breakdown of opinions on the proposed Kitimat oil refinery, by region. Black first proposed the refinery to the B.C. government seven years ago as chairman of the B.C. Progress Board, an advisory panel set up to examine economic and social development of the province. His interest was renewed when Enbridge Inc. applied for federal approval to build the Northern Gateway pipeline from northern Alberta’s oil sands to a new tanker port at Kitimat. The Enbridge project has met strong opposition from communities, aboriginal groups and environmentalists, much of it based on the threat of a tanker spill on B.C.’s North Coast. Black argues that a refinery not only reduces the spill risk, it means 6,000 construction jobs and 3,000 permanent employees to run it. Since he announced the Kiti-

mat Clean project in August, Black said he has been contacted by Korean and Chinese people looking for more information. Earlier discussions with Enbridge and other Canadian oil companies did not produce financial support to reverse a decades-long decline in B.C. refinery capacity. The poll was conducted by non-editorial Black Press staff during September. It gathered 1,400 responses from the Cariboo, Kootenay, Northern B.C., Lower Mainland, ThompsonOkanagan and Vancouver Island regions. The margin of error is estimated to be plus or minus 2.62 per cent, 19 times out of 20. More information on the project is available at www.kitimatclean.ca. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Resident Canadian geese causing trouble Capital Regional District working on a plan to manage the geese’s impact on local farms, parks Steven Heywood News staff

They eat crops, cause damage to estuary areas, drop their leavings in parks and fields and they’re not going anywhere soon. Since 2010, the Capi-

tal Regional District has partnered with member municipalities, the Victoria Airport Authority and other groups effected by the presence of these resident trouble-makers, to develop a strategy to reduce their impact.

They are Canada geese, and they don’t migrate. They stick around the region — as well as in other places up and down Vancouver Island — since they were introduced here in the 1960s and ‘70s for wildlife viewing and

hunting opportunities. Normally, Canada geese will migrate each year. According to a draft regional Canada goose management strategy, approximately 5,000 of them simply won’t leave. As a result, says Jen-

ette Lovey, manager of park operations for CRD Regional Parks and the lead on the strategy, farms, waterways and parks are being adversely affected. She presented the draft report to Central Saanich council Sept. 17. “If left unmanaged, this situation is not sustainable,” she said, pointing out the population of resident Canada geese will continue to rise. “The focus (of the strategy) is really on mitigating the impact they’re having on the natural environment — and on parks, farmers and schools.” That impact has been front-and-centre for Central Saanich mayor Alastair Bryson. He said he has been hear-

ing from a lot of farmers who have lost crops to the geese. “Frustration is growing,” he said. “Right now, management is left to individual farms. The geese are preventing some crops from being planted in Central Saanich.” Bryson said he’s hoping for some strong management recommendations coming out of this report. Loveys said the strategy looks to reduce the damage caused by the geese, but first identifies why they’re here, where they are and how the population is growing. Volunteers with various birding groups have been counting the geese since 2010 and the CRD hired a consultant to collect the data,

make on-site visits to farms and to meet with federal and provincial regulatory bodies. Kate Hagmar of EBB Environmental Consulting said there has been substantial agricultural damage in the region, as the geese turn to non-traditional food sources. They continue to stay here, she said, due to the man-made habitats that allow it — parks, holding ponds and more. Part of the strategy, she continued, will be to educate landowners and residents on ways to prevent geese from making a permanent home on their property.

Killing geese a last resort: CRD

Continued from page A6

That, however, could simply push the geese from one area to another. And killing them is only a last resort. “(The Canadian Wildlife Service) is responsible for the management of migratory birds,” Hagmar said, adding it’s illegal to kill Canada geese. “Our response to this issue has to show we’ve taken all other possible actions first.” Some of those options include modifying habitat areas to make them less desirable, hazing or scaring away the geese, relocating them or taking measure to control the population — from egg addling to hunting them in a managed goose kill. The latter option is a last resort, said Lovey. Should all other management techniques fail, there would have to be discussion on how to use a cull properly, if at all. She added this strategy is a longterm plan and nothing will happen overnight. For now, the strategy is in a draft form and Lovey is taking it to municipalities and

Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

Amblyopia a.k.a. “Lazy Eye” The word “amblyopia” is Greek in origin and it quite literally means slow vision. The term “lazy eye” is often used to describe amblyopia to patients. If an eye is to become amblyopic, it will do so during the period of visual development between birth and about ten years of age. One eye is sending a weaker signal to the brain; therefore fewer connections will be made to the brain for that eye. This condition can occur if one is born with eyes signiﬁcantly different prescriptions. Over time, the ability to use both eyes at once is diminished. The brain has many cells requiring input from both eyes. These cells, devoted to binocular vision and depth perception, are unable to develop if both eyes are not sending a strong signal, consequently the weaker eye wanders. Researchers disagree about the exact age up to which amblyopia can be successfully treated. They do agree however that the key to remediating amblyopia is early detection and treatment. Remember, the ﬁrst eye examination should be at around the third birthday.

“Those taxpayers, and particularly the actual users of 911 ... end up paying twice.” – Gordie Logan

Hall characterizes CREST’s position as, “both sensational and wrong.” Logan maintains if the emergency call centres don’t get the benefit of the 911 levies collected, the money to pay for their service comes from the general tax base. “Those taxpayers, and particularly the actual users of 911– which could be any one of us — end up paying twice.” Logan maintains since more than 70 per cent of phone services are now wireless, an estimated $2 million annually is collected from Capital Region cellphone users and kept by cellphone companies for services they don’t provide. Logan said the situation could be resolved in one of two ways. The first would be for the telephone companies to voluntarily pass along all or part of the 911 levies to municipal 911

call centres. It shouldn’t matter if the charges are direct line billing items by cell companies or if they build the levies into a wireless package, said Logan. He said CREST has had discussions with the telephone companies in an attempt to convince them to voluntarily change their practices. “They’ve resisted,” Logan said. “It’s just a cash grab on their part.” Hall disagrees. “We have real costs associated with the provision of 911 services. First of all, most of our customers don’t actually pay a separate levy for 911 calls any longer, as those fees have been rolled into single payment systems like our ‘clear and simple’ service.” Hall acknowledges some portion of the all-inclusive plans may cover the cost of 911 service, but stated emphatically any charges levied by wireless providers covered the real costs of those companies. Hall also pointed out the distribution of levies that are, or could be, charged is difficult when those calls are made from wireless devices. “We wouldn’t be adverse to a levy being collected on behalf of a provincial system,” said Hall. “Those funds could be allocated on a per capita basis to those municipalities with (911) public service answering points operated by those municipalities.” Hall said that otherwise there isn’t a way for the wireless providers to know where many of their customers are living or from where they are making the call.

Taxpayers in the capital region are paying twice for 911 emergency phone service, said Gordie Logan, the chair of the board of Capital Region Emergency Service Telecommunications (CREST). CREST handles the 911 calls in the Capital Region for all police, fire, ambulance and emergency services in the region. Logan isn’t happy telephone companies are charging, and keeping, a levy for every 911 call made from a cellphone. According to Logan, that levy is charged by cellphone service providers (such as Telus, Bell, Rogers and others), but unlike landline calls, the telecommunications companies are keeping the levy charged on cellphone calls, rather than passing the funds on to 911 call centres like CREST. The charge is also higher for cellphone calls. “They charge about $1.25 for every 911 cell phone call, and I would say that their cost related to taking that call is a tiny fraction of that amount,” Logan said. In comparison, landline levies are passed along by the telephone companies to 911 call centres to offset the cost of providing that emergency service. When someone with a landline makes a 911 call, the phone company charges a 66 cent levy to the customer, Logan said. Phone companies turn over about 59 cents of that levy to CREST, which in turn uses those funds to offset the charges they pass on to municipalities and others. “The benefit goes not to CREST, but to the municipalities, the RCMP, B.C. Ambulance and others who have to pay for the

911 call centre,” said Logan. The arrangements and payments of levies for landlines are approved by the CRTC but those arrangements do not apply to wireless devices, said Shawn Hall, a Telus spokesperson. “And there’s very good reasons for that situation. We have our back end costs to cover for wireless services, including the cost of training our own operators to handle 911 calls in areas where there are no public service answering points.”

A hunter, or hunters, armed with a crossbow has targeted deer in urban areas of Greater Victoria during the last two fall seasons. As deer rutting and hunting season get underway, Saanich police are putting out a call for eagleeyed residents. “We saw, over the past two years, a rash of incidents with regard to urban deer poaching and hunting. We would encourage everyone to keep an eye out; if they suspect some behaviour like that has happened, to really report it straight away,” said Sgt. Dean Jantzen. Some nine incidents occurred in fall 2010, where dead deer were found with arrow wounds, or with their heads or limbs cut off. There were also animals spotted walking around with arrows sticking out of their bodies. Police say public safety is at risk due to at least one hunter firing a crossbow or bow and arrow in residential neighbourhoods. Things to look for include people dressed in head-to-toe camouflage gear or carrying unusual equipment or cases, particularly in urban areas. kslavin@saanichnews.com

The Wallace family, left to right, Layton, 6, Tanis, Coen, 3, and Chris, take a moment to enjoy the sunshine in the back yard of their North Saanich home. The family is hoping to find a live kidney donor for Coen.

A plea for help Local family searching for a live kidney donor for their son Devon MacKenzie News staff

Looking at bright eyed, smiling Coen Wallace is like looking at any other two-year-old. But the difference between Coen and any other little boy is that he has never lived a day in his short life without being hooked up to a machine. Coen, who lives with his mother Tanis, father Chris and brother Layton in North Saanich, was born with kidneys that didn’t function. “It was literally a few days after he was born that he was hooked up to dialysis,” explained Tanis. “He has never known what its like to live without being hooked up to machines or tubes, but he’s a trooper.” Coen has been in and out of Children’s Hospital in Vancouver for the last two years and currently spends 12 hours, from the evening through the night, hooked up to the dialysis machine the Wallaces have in their home. Tanis and Chris take

turns monitoring the machine throughout the wee hours of the night, listening for the machine’s alarm to tell them if anything is going wrong. “Basically the dialysis machine alarms if something isn’t working properly,” explained Chris. “It used to alarm a couple of times through the night and we could get up and turn Coen in bed and check him, but now it’s alarming about once an hour and that’s how we knew something was wrong.” The machine’s hourly reminder was indicating that Coen’s body was not responding to the dialysis as well as it should be. “We’re at the point now where we’ve lived with this for over two years, so it became routine and we just went through the motions every day,” said Tanis. “But now we’re actually worried because we know the dialysis isn’t working as well as it should and we know that time isn’t on our side in terms of finding him a kidney.” Coen is currently on a list to

receive transplant surgery, but after the disappointment of finding out the only family member who was a blood match to the young boy’s O-type blood wasn’t able to donate a kidney because her kidneys only functioned at 75 per cent, the family has been left with no choice but to start looking farther afield. “It’s so hard because how do you go about asking for an organ?” said Tanis. “But we’re at the point where we are desperate and time is of the essence.” Coen’s body is able to take an adult kidney, she added, even though it isn’t ideal, but doctors say his best chance of surviving is to get a live kidney rather than one from a deceased donor. “At the moment, the doctors are saying it needs to be before he turns three in January,” Chris said. “But the testing to find out of possible donors are a match can take as long as five weeks so we need to find one fast.” To find out more about live organ donation, call 1-877-9229822 or email donornurse@providencehealth.bc.ca. reporter@peninsula newsreview.com

OUR VIEW

Governance by absentia T

he B.C. Liberals’ cancellation of the fall sitting of the legislature means the government will have sat 48 days in 2012. To anyone who voted for the Liberals, and especially those who didn’t, the move is an affront to democracy and good government. The excuse given was that new ministers need time to study up on their portfolios. But the reality is, the Liberals are doing their darndest to avoid making Liberals shoot mistakes that might themselves in foot ultimately relegate further into with cancellation them second-party status come election time next spring. Premier Christy Clark promised big changes to the often-domineering way the Gordon Campbell-led Liberals did things in the Legislature. Seeking to distance herself from the previous regime and create more open government, she called for more sittings of the legislature to allow for more consultation and more ideas to circulate. Instead, she appears to have caved to the demands of politicos who would rather see the Liberals play a lame-duck game of out-of-sight, out-of-mind. With no sessions, the need for valuable allparty committee work goes by the wayside, as does the ability for bills to be passed to keep government operating properly. We recall that once under Campbell’s leadership, the lack of legislative time saw the government nearly run out of money and require an emergency session to pass a funding bill into law. It’s true, many people will be too busy to notice that there’s not a lot of news coming out of the legislature. But the floundering Liberals aren’t doing themselves any favours. They have an opportunity to go out with guns blazing, doing what they believe is right and let the public decide who can better govern the province. Otherwise they come off as a party clearly running scared. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@peninsulanewsreview.com or fax 250-656-5526.

My experience as a student, a job seeker and a parent is that free money encourages aimless study, and the selection of courses that are appealing rather than safe investments. We already have far too much of that, and I think most students today would be better off with a bigger debt and a well-paying job. As the new trades plan was being rolled out (and mostly ignored by the Vancouver media), former finance minister Colin Hansen announced he’s retiring. It was Hansen who started the push for skills training back in 2008, emphasizing that there will be a million new jobs open by 2019, 600,000 of them due to retiring baby boomers. Hansen made a sales trip to snowy Toronto to launch advertising to lure people to B.C. That effort is being revised with a series of interprovincial and international trips, because even if all 650,000 high school students graduate and go to work in B.C. from now to 2019, it won’t be enough to fill all the jobs on the horizon.

LETTERS Domestic petroleum industry keeping food on the table I n the letter Sept.19 titled Don’t support the pipeline — in three parts by Don Edwards, Mr. Edwards propagates the myth that nature will never recover from an oil spill. That is just not the case. Modern oil spill cleanup practices are very effective. But nature itself is extremely resilient. There are bacteria in our environment that metabolize oil. They break it down into harmless byproducts. I don’t think the pipeline opposition groups go out of their way to tell people about this. An oil spill is not what anyone wants, but man and nature together take care of

spilled oil, and that fact is evident in all areas of past spills, no matter how large they were. The second point that Mr. Edwards’ letter made was that the Enbridge pipeline is being proposed to allow a petroleum company to sell a product to Asia and make a lot of money. What Mr. Edwards did not say is that the amount of employment that the oilsands petroleum production and related pipeline construction creates is a huge boost to our economy (Canadian citizens from all provinces are finding employment in the petroleum industry).

This economic benefit has, in the words of some economists, been the most critical factor in preventing a recession here in Canada over the past four years. And this benefit will continue for generations. So we are not looking simply at the economic benefit for one petroleum company, but a huge halo benefit for the Canadian economy as a whole. Imagine Canada or all of North America without any petroleum pipelines. Our highways and rail systems would, out of necessity, be brimming with tanker truck and rail tanker traffic.

Would this situation lessen the environmental risk and the risk to human life? Quite the opposite. At this time in history we need petroleum pipelines, and Canada needs the jobs and revenue that pipelines help safely produce. I would like to see a percentage of all government and industry profits from petroleum sales go to alternative energy research. The domestic petroleum industry is helping to keep food on Canadian’s tables. Let’s not ever forget that fact. Bill Wilson Saanichton

Readers respond: B.C. Liberals, North Saanich council, Enbridge pipeline debate Hansen opts for better career options Colin Hansen, who bungled the introduction of the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) as Gordon Campbell’s Finance Minister, is the latest high-profile B.C. Liberal to announce he will not be running in the upcoming provincial election. Instead Hansen will be the deputy campaign manager ostensibly to help Christy Clark’s beleaguered party get re-elected. Some might wonder why this 16-year veteran of politics would willingly step out of the fading light of the legislature and into the shadows of the political backroom. Hansen stated he doesn’t have any future career plans. Maybe he’s just waiting around to see what will happen after Christy Clark crashes and burns in the May 2013 election. As deputy campaign manager, Hansen will have a golden opportunity to intermingle with British Columbia’s free-enterprise powerbrokers, network with like-minded constituency organizers and assist individual Liberal candidates. This will expand Hansen’s future career options because he will collect a bag full of IOUs which will be priceless, especially if he has dreams of one day becoming Premier of British Columbia. Lloyd Atkins Vernon

Council setting precedent with rezoning The Sept. 17 meeting of the North Saanich council passed first reading of two bylaws that would, if adopted, be a precedent that could change the North Saanich that we know and love. These bylaws proposed to rezone two properties from R2 to R1, allowing each to be subdivided into two residential lots, enabling the developers to double the number of homes on them. This is a first, and a precedent setting move to increase housing density in this way. If these bylaws are allowed to pass they will change the official community plan that took years of deliberation and much community input to reach consensus. It will greatly increase the density of North Saanich over time. I value the space, quiet and semi-rural quality here and I don’t want it spoiled. I don’t want my house devalued because I lose my view, my privacy or because my neighbourhood becomes more crowded. I don’t want the problems that come with increased density. If you feel the same, please let your elected councillors know that you don’t want these precedent-setting development applications and bylaws to pass. Ann Cooper North Saanich

Not ready for the OCP to be rewritten At the Sept. 17 North Saanich council meetings, a quiet, little application proposed rezoning two lots from R2 to R1. This has the ability to change the entire OCP. It would be the first time lots of less than one acre are subdivided

to R1 from R2 for no apparent reason. Passing of the application to rezone would open the door for the entire south east quadrant to become R1 over time. In fact, any sewered area of North Saanich would be open to subdivision of lots less than onehalf acre. This could be a 35 per cent increase in lot density as every opportunity would be an R1 request to subdivide. If you value the rural quality and peace in North Saanich, contact your councillor and make it known that you are not ready for the OCP to be rewritten as a result of approving this application.

are forced out to seek jobs in Alberta or elsewhere, even lessening B.C. shopper market cash flows. Many B.C. merchants cannot raise their prices, so are forced to fold and further reduce the B.C. market of shopping funds. Some B.C. merchants can reduce low margin stocks while displaying the higher margin stuff to shoppers. A few had to jack up prices and/or lay off staff to keep going, further reducing the local market cash flows. We know that B.C. families cannot afford to live with this B.C. government. That leads to the next question. Can B.C. businesses afford to operate under the jobs and market-cash-exporting ideology, practised by the B.C. Liberals? Dee Shoolingin Duncan

Emotional arguments in pipeline debate A good scientist is encouraging me to oppose the Enbridge pipeline based solely on “risk factor” of unknown probability, but 100 per cent certainty, that an event would occur that “could be catastrophic for the region impacted”. That same statistic could be applied to the major ‘quake that is supposed to devastate our coast. I don’t see a mad rush to evacuate people from the Island or greater Vancouver in light of this pending catastrophic disaster. In our province (B.C.), over the last 10 years, one spill is significant enough to be reported on Wikipedia — Burnaby Oil Spill, July 24, 2007 — with estimated 201 tonnes. I haven’t been there, but the impact does not appear to be enduring. Awful, but not catastrophic. Without a doubt, one would point out that there is a “risk when we cross the road.” Most sensible people still cross the road, and occasionally, and regrettably, one doesn’t make it across. Sometimes it their fault and sometimes it is the fault of some vehicle and the event is devastating, alarming, regrettable, however life goes on. In our province (B.C.), over the last 10 years, an average of 62.5 pedestrians died in such events. A total of 625 people died in pedestrian-vehicular events in the last 10 years. That is catastrophic! If emotional arguments count in this debate, I’m out. I’m far too emotional with respect to the real value of life. Eli W. Fricker North Saanich

Wages not keeping up with cost of living hike The Cost of Living adjustments for B.C. families, of citizens or other residents, needs a recalculation. With fewer B.C. jobs, many exported with the logs, and the resulting fewer paycheques, shopping and spending in the B.C. market place, the pressure is pushing B.C. prices up. All this pressure is inflationary. Many B.C. residents

Although Gabriel Paul participated in the fight against cancer by running in the Terry Fox Run last week, the event left the nine-year-old feeling like he wanted to do more. “I wanted to shave my head for donations on Sunday, but it was too late. Then my mom suggested I try to raise donations for our school’s run next week and I thought the idea was perfect,” the Grade 4 LÁU,WELNEW student said. With the help of his mom, Zandra, and other family members, Gabriel raised over $200 in the week prior to the run to add to his schools donation total. “He knows cancer runs in the family, so he’s really aware of it, and he was so keen to support the cause,” said Zandra. “It was really neat to see.” With the help of family, friends and community members, Gabriel raised $215.50, which was more than he’d anticipated.

NEWS REVIEW

The Victoria Foundation & Black Press Working Together – how philanthropy shapes our community 3

Unique learning opportunities support health and stability With the support of the community, many local organizations are helping kids and adults learn healthy ways to deal with difficulties in their lives. Below are a few of the recent groups that received a grant from the Victoria Foundation to offer educational programs with a difference. Living and Learning Through Loss is a program designed to help young adults between the ages of 13 and 18 deal with the experiences of significant loss in their lives. Good Grief Workshops provided in schools include classes on psychology, communication, peer counselling and leadership. In 2011 they delivered 77 workshops to over 2,300 youth in the Greater Victoria area and plan on delivering up to 130 this year reaching another 3,900 youth. The organization also offers support groups, individual counselling and crisis response and support. “Our Learning Loss Group programs continue to change the lives of youth in a more positive and healthy direction,” says Charlie Troger, Board Chair. Coming up on October 24th, the organization is delivering a three and a half hour workshop for individuals who work with youth and who would like to gain more understanding and tools to support them through grief and loss. More information can be found by calling Grief Education Program Director Shauna Janz at 250-857-9642 or visiting their website, www.teenloss.com. Power to Be provides adventure-based programs designed for youth and families in need of support. They look to help individuals deal with substance use, social isolation, economic disparity, physical health problems, discrimination and other issues that can cause some youth to become

discouraged and derailed in school and unable to function effectively. Through a collaborative approach and caring staff, they inspire connections with nature through an inclusive year-round outdoor education curriculum that promotes physical heath and emotional well-being, develops interpersonal and leadership skills, teaches environmental and social stewardship, offers peer mentorship, and supports community engagement and family connectedness. Visit www.powertobe.ca or call 250-385-2363. Power of Hope is a non-profit organization that delivers arts-based experiential learning programs to teens from diverse cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds, including a distinctive 8-day overnight summer camp. Though they take many forms, all programs are designed for youth to explore their creativity, learn from diversity, and express themselves through music, art, poetry, or hip hop to connect with others in a positive, supportive community. More information: www.powerofhope.org or call 250-381-4673. Bridges for Women inspires women impacted by violence or abuse to reclaim their lives by gaining employment, economic security, health, safety and independence. A range of services are offered, including programs aimed at employment, entrepreneurship and career mentoring. To sign up for computer training or other classes, visit www.bridgesforwomen.ca or call 250-385-7410. The Victoria Foundation is proud of its long-standing support of our region’s charitable organizations from all sectors, and of the donors who help to create smart and caring communities in our region.

Since 1936, the Victoria Foundation’s permanent endowment has had the power to connect people who care with causes that matter. If you wish to make a difference in your community – one that has lasting impact, start here. Call Sandra Richardson, CEO for information at 250.381.5532. www.victoriafoundation.bc.ca

Sidney ready to host Tour de Rock

Parade, party planned in Sidney when the Cops for Cancer arrive Oct. 4

Volunteer with Sidney Fire Rescue

Steven Heywood News staff

The Tour de Rock, Cops for Cancer ride begins on Vancouver Island on Saturday, Sept. 22 in Port Alice. From there, the riders will be biking downIsland over 14 days. Their ride comes to Sidney on Thurs., Oct. 4 and the town is getting ready to throw them a parade. This week, Sidney town crier Kenny Podmore and local Tour de Rock event co-ordinator Julie Harman officially announced the start of the Tour — and what the Town of Sidney has in store on Oct. 4. As well, this Sunday, Sept. 30, the Old Black Rum band plays a Tour de Rock, by donation, fundraiser in Beacon Park from non to 4 p.m. “We will be throwing the riders a parade,” Harman said of the Oct. 4 event, adding it will include local police, firefighters and paramedics. On Oct. 4 at around 3:20 p.m., local emergency vehicles will fall in behind the 18 riders, representing Island

police, military, media and more, and make their way from the Mary Winspear Centre to Beacon Park. Bringing up the rear of the parade, said Harman, will be 60 or so bike riders from local elementary schools. “We revived this part last year,” she said of the kids’ part in the event. “It was a huge success and the kids just loved it.” The parade is only one part of the day’s Tour de Rock events. Starting at 11:30 a.m. in Beacon Park, there will be entertainment (in the works, said Harman), head shaves and a big barbecue. It runs to 4 p.m. The event, of course, is looking for people’s donations to the cause. Harman said this will be her 15th year co-ordinating the local Cops for Cancer event. Money raised at Island-wide Tour de Rock events — as well as from pledges over the 1,000 km ride itself — goes to help fight childhood cancer. Since 1998, the Tour has raised more than $16.6 million for the Canadian Cancer Society. For details, visit www.tourderock.ca.

Councillors, mayor steer clear of conflict Steven Heywood News staff

No fewer than three times did Central Saanich district councillors excuse themselves from their Sept. 17 regular meeting, citing conflicts of interest. Councillor Cathie Ounsted left council chambers when it came time to discuss recommendations from the planning and development committee, in regards to a proposed rezoning of four properties at Keating X Road and West Saanich Road. The rezoning would allow commercial use in the front half of the properties, with affordable, workersâ€™ housing in the rear. Currently, only caretaker residences are allowed. Council voted to approve the committee recommendation to defer further consideration and have staff bring forward a planning and public consultation process for a review of their official community plan. That motion was successfully

amended by councillor Zeb King to include more information on the costs to extend district services to those lots. Coun. King later declared a conflict of interest in the case of a development variance permit application to vary the amount of parking at 7925 East Saanich Road. King cited a business relationship with the applicant. Council voted to have district staff work with the applicant to review the parking situation. Mayor Alastair Bryson also excused himself before discussion on the use of private easements to extend utility services to certain properties. Bryson said he has a lot that is serviced by a private easement, making the situation not in common with the larger segment of the population. Council voted to support its current policy of generally encouraging direct connections from property frontages, while being flexible to service via other easements when â€œa net benefit is demonstrated.â€?

Models under review B.C. government review long overdue: CREST Continued from page A8

MAKE A NEW BEGINNING

Buy one get one FREE

6U HU` NHSSVU VM +\S\_ 7HPU[

A provincially-mandated system of levies and payments to 911 service providers is the second option available to Logan and CREST. In a written statement, the Minister of Justice, Shirley Bond, said: â€œIn B.C., local governments are responsible for the provision of 911 emergency services.â€? â€œThat said, our government continues to review a number of models and the experiences seen in other provinces.â€? Bond said that, to date, tax policy restrictions and industry billing practices have meant that there doesnâ€™t appear to be an effective way to change the current model that would work for everyone involved. â€œFor our government to consider any changes, we would need to ensure public safety would be improved, costs would be contained

and that we could meet public expectations with regard to both 911 service and funding,â€? she said. Itâ€™s a review that is long overdue, according to Gord Hoth, CREST general manager. â€œThe UBCM (Union of B.C. Municipalities) passed unanimous resolutions in 2004 and 2009 on this issue, so the government has had eight years to move on this file,â€? said Hoth. â€œSurely it could have been addressed by now. Theyâ€™re allowing this cash grab (by cell phone companies) and itâ€™s not right.â€? CREST was established in 1998 and provides emergency communications for 40 emergency response agencies. It is a not-for-profit agency governed by the Emergency Communications Corporations Act. More information on CREST can be found at crest.ca. reporter@vicnews.com

Yacht race faces light winds Steven Heywood News staff

Sixteen boats took part in a race Sunday, part of the Canoe Bay Racing Club’s summer series of events off of Sidney. The boats were from the Canoe

Bay Club and the Sidney North Saanich Yacht Club. They raced from the wharf in Sidney (at the end of Beacon Avenue), out to Ker Island and Sidney Spit, and back again to the wharf. Organizers said they had planned a longer race, but light

winds on the day forced them to reduce the number of laps made by each boat. The Canoe Bay Racing Club now begins its winter series — which, hopefully, will see more breezes. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

NEWS REVIEW

‘No nukes’ activists re-emerge One Wave highlighted history, future of Pacific People’s partnership VICTORIA — When the Pacific Peacemaker set sail from Seattle towards the South Pacific in 1982 to protest nuclear testing, the peacekeeping ship proudly flew a flag designed by the Tsartlip First Nations, symbolic of partnership and giving thanks. Phil Esmonde, co-founder of the Pacific Peoples’ Partnership – known then as the South Pacific Peoples’ Foundation, was at the forefront of the nuclear free Pacific movement and presented the flag to the Peacemaker in Anacortes, Wash. Since 1975 the Pacific Peoples’ Partnership has continued to advocate for peace, justice, environmental sustainability and development for Pacific Islanders from its Victoria-based office. Though its core mandate has remained the same, the non-governmental organization’s M.O. – once marked by the posting of signs that read:

“Warning nuclear ship now in port” – has become less focused on in-your-face activism and more on advocacy to ensure funding remains intact. “There’s no way we could get away with that now,” April Ingham, Pacific Peoples’ Partnership executive director said of the late Esmonde’s bold presence. “We are a movement for change, but we do so through partnerships.” Small NGOs such as the Pacific Peoples’ Partnership are having a hard enough time sustaining an office in the current economic climate, Ingham said, and aren’t willing to risk losing government funding over making strong political statements. Instead, they channel their efforts into cultural exchanges, many of them centred on empowering women and youth. Wall to wall works of art – masks, prayer flags, dance

artefacts and gathering cloths – made by those who share the Canadian shoreline down to residents of the furthest islands of the South Pacific, are telling of the charity’s efforts to build partnerships. “We’re one of Victoria’s oldest NGOs with a 37-year history and sadly, even with that long history, we don’t have that full knowledge out there as to why we even need to have an organization that’s focused on the Pacific. “The irony of that kills me constantly,” Ingham said. “People don’t understand, or perhaps don’t know how they can engage on some of the issues like overfishing or islands that are sinking, or whole countries that are having to contemplate becoming refugees due to climate change,” she continued. “We’re trying to raise awareness for the need for Canada’s presence in the Pacific and to orientate youth in the impor-

tance of looking at the issues and agendas and how we’re all connected.” The public had an opportunity to get brought up to speed with the history and get involved with future volunteer endeavours during the One Wave Festival, Sept. 22. The youth-organized event featured arts and crafts, storytellers, First Nations dancers, body painting, and a dance party with local bands Party on High Street and Compassion Gorilla, along with words by poet laureate Janet Marie Rogers. “There were no youth-centred arts and cultural festivals to celebrate Pacific arts and culture and the ocean,” Ingham said. “One Wave is representative of all the energy of the youth and all these people: the ocean, the environment, artists and everyone coming together.” nnorth@saanichnews.com

incredibly generous and we have high hopes that we will exceed the goal,” said campaign chair John Guthrie at Wednesday’s unveiling at Ogden Point. From transitional housing to anti-bullying initiatives in schools to drug rehabilitation, the United Way works with community partners to identify the most pressing community issues. Registered charities can apply for grants for specific projects that help address those issues, and a panel of community experts selects eligible partners and monitors the funds. Recipients of United Way funding include AIDS Vancouver Island, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Pacifica Housing Advisory Association, Victoria Cool Aid Soci-

ety and the Conservatory of Music. The campaign raised $5.9 million in 2011 with the help of over 1,000 volunteers in 500 workplaces and individual community donors. In the past year, United Way funding helped deliver some 117 programs and services to the community’s most vulnerable people. “The need is great, we know that,” Guthrie said. “Many of our community partners aren’t able to provide some important programs for people to get the help when they need it.” For more information or to donate to the effort, see the Victoria United Way website, www.uwgv.ca. editor@peninsula newsreview.com

SPORTS Woytowich rink wins gold at Seniors Games Glen Meadows-based team can find curling year-round, from the Peninsula to Las Vegas Steven Heywood News staff

Lawrence Woytowich, Lynn Wilson, Wayne Scott, Frank Nash and Ken Wigbers are back from a series of curling championships and are already chomping at the

bit to get back on the ice. The Woytowich rink curls out of the Glen Meadows Country Club in North Saanich and recently won gold in the mens 55-plus category in the B.C. Seniors Games in Burnaby, August 22 to 25. They defeated a younger Trail

(Kootenay Zone) team, 6-4, and advanced to the Canadian Nationals which were held a few days later in Sidney, Nova Scotia. “We were home on the Saturday (from Burnaby), rested Sunday and flew out (to Nova Scotia) on Monday,” said Woytowich. There was a little down time, added Scott, before they played their first games at the Nationals. While they didn’t advance to the finals out east, Woytowich

said they enjoyed themselves and played a lot of good curling. “We were never out of a game,” he said, “always within a point or two, for the most part.” Woytowich, Scott and Nash have been curling together for five years. Wigbers is their alternate man and Wilson joined the team a few years ago — but he’s normally curling against Woytowich. “Lynn is on the competition

most of the time,” he said of their Glen Meadows rivalry. “But when we go to step it up a notch, we bring him in.” In its various configurations, the Woytowich rink plays seven to eight bonspiels each season, in a circuit that takes them to Victoria, Esquimalt, the Juan De Fuca curling facility and Kerry Park. PLEASE SEE: Local rink to play, page A30

The Peninsula Panthers grappled their way to a third consecutive win at home during last Friday’s game against the Kerry Park Islanders. The game was dominated on the Panthers’ side by 18-yearold forward Cole Glover, who picked up two goals and an assist in a heart-stopping 6-5 shootout win. Panthers’ owner Pete Zubersky likens the fit between the Panthers and Glover to “salt and pepper, apple pie and ice cream, bacon and eggs. Some things just go together and Cole and the Panthers seem like they’re going to fit like a Glove(r),” he joked. Glover played minor hockey with Peninsula and last year he captained the South Island major midget team in his last

Glover was picked up for the post-season by the Panthers and was a big contributor, so much so, Zubersky said, that he was signed in the spring and named as an alternate captain. In Friday’s game, Glover opened the scoring four minutes into the first frame when he was left all alone in front of

the visitors’ net and shovelled a short-handed marker past Islanders’ goaltender Jackson Jane. Three minutes later, the Islanders answered when Kyle Horseman made good on a breakaway after a defensive breakdown on a Panthers power play. Cody Breitenstein and Jonas Horvath gave the Panthers a 3-1 lead by midway in the first but the Islanders responded with one by Alex Milligan before the buzzer sounded. Glover got back on the board in the first minute of the second with an assist and added his second goal less than a minute later to give the Panthers a commanding lead. Sloppy play by the Panthers saw the Islanders score three goals before the teams went to the dressing room after the second, tied at five. Nothing

list. Vegas is welcoming teams from 17 countries (including four from Canada) to a bonspiel in the desert. While the ice is not yet in at Glen Meadows, Woytowich said the team is playing in an exhibition against the

current national senior women’s champ, Cathy King, on Oct. 11 or 12 at the Victoria Curling Club. “That’s because we have the same coach. We’re kind of fortunate to have him.” Bill Tschirhart lives

on the Peninsula, coaches the Woytowich rink at high levels, and also coaches the national senior women’s team. It’s this link that helps make such exhibition games possible. For both rinks, it’s a warm up for other

changed in the third period or the overtime as the teams prepared for a shootout. “We played well coming out of the gate, but I think we let it slide and the game ended up being way closer than it needed to be, definitely too close for comfort,” said Glover. In the shootout, Cole Golka scored one goal out of three for the Panthers which was all it took. Panthers’ netminder Stephen Heslop blocked all three Islander attempts. “Thankfully we were able to pick it up and get the win,” said Glover of the tight game, in which he was named the night’s first star. The Panthers are looking to extend their at-home winning streak this Friday night as they host the Nanaimo Buccaneers at 7:30 p.m. at Panorama Recreation Centre.

RECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT

Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, November 19, 2012 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, February 18, 2013. The Title of the Initiative is: An initiative to amend the Police Act. Summary of Initiative: The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the Province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

Initiative Advertising: Individuals or organizations who sponsor initiative advertising, other than the proponent and registered opponents, must register with the Chief Electoral Officer before they conduct or publish initiative advertising. Registration applications are available from Elections BC. Who May Sign the Petition: Registered voters as of Monday, November 19, 2012 may sign the initiative petition. Individuals may only sign the petition once, and must sign the petition sheet for the electoral district in which they are registered at the time of signing. Signed petitions are available for public inspection.

Devon MacKenzie A climber who trains out of Boulders climbing gym at Stelly’s school, set a new Canadian record in speed climbing at the the World Climbing and Paraclimbing Championship in Paris. Robert Stewart-Patterson, 16, who lives in Kamloops but trains at the state-of-the-art facility in Central Saanich, climbed to the record of 9.20 seconds Sunday, Sept. 16 at Bercy Stadium. “I’ve known him for seven years and he’s just a really talented climber,” said Stewart-Patterson’s speed climbing coach, Kimanda Jarzebiak. “For him to be performing how he is at 16 shows he has tremendous potential.” Stewart-Patterson placed 34th overall in speed climbing — as well as 57th in lead climbing at the event. “This is his first year of eligibility with adult competitions so for him to be placing in the middle of the pack in both events is amazing,” said Jarzebiak. “It was quite different competing in the adult category because I’m used to stacking up against my competitors, but it was a great experience to compete in such a large group,” added Stewart-Patterson. Stewart-Patterson has been training out of Boulders for the last couple of years, but has made tentative plans to move to the Saanich Peninsula in February to train full time at Boulders and attend Stelly’s Secondary. “The (Boulders) facility is much more advanced than the one I train at in Kamloops so it would be great to train there full time, but I still haven’t decided for sure yet,” said the Grade 12 student. “We have the only 15 meter homologated (standardized) climbing wall in Canada so this is the place to train for speed climbers,” added Jarzebiak. Next August, Boulders will play host to the World Youth Championships for climbing. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com
