Residents of Frost Avenue are on both sides of the road when it comes to the sidewalks destined for their street.

“The sidewalk I believe is unnecessary. It is not a high pedestrian area, it is not a safety area, there are no children in the area that I know of,” said Robert Hardy.

“There are those of us who will lose considerable frontage on our front yards because of this. Do you consider this a good use of taxpayers’ money … paving a sidewalk that nobody has asked for?”

Hardy and a handful of others addressed Sidney council last week after neighbours were polled on their opinions of the sidewalks.

Bonnie North said she is happy to lose a few feet of her yard for the sake of safety.

“People have sometimes driven way too fast around the corner … and it’s homeowners living on this corner [like us] who are well aware of the dangers.

“This is a very real safety concern. We are going to lose that extra square footage, but we have to be prepared to relinquish it and safety is a really valid reason to do that.”

Installing sidewalks on Frost is part of the town’s 20-year plan, said Sidney’s chief administrative officer Randy Humble.

Peninsula

Reflections

A look back at historical stories that shaped the Saanich Peninsula

Andrew Farris Contributor

In a land remarkable for the brevity of its European settlement, it is easy to forget how early in B.C.’s modern history the Saanich Peninsula was settled.

In a testament to these pioneer roots, on June 3 St. Stephen’s Anglican Church in Mount Newton will be marking 150 years of continuous service, making it the oldest church in British Columbia.

Shady Creek United Church in Brentwood Bay is not far behind; originally built only a few months later – its long career was interrupted by a fire in the 1800s.

“They had to lateThe story of the building create everything of these churches brings to the formidable characthey needed. They life ters who laid the groundliterally created work for some of the province’s oldest modern coma society for munities. themselves.”

The leadership to build – Norma Sealey St. Stephen’s came from William Thomson, a Scot who arrived on Vancouver Island in response to a plea for settlers by Governor James Douglas – insurance against the threat of American annexation. Shipwrecked on the coast of Vancouver Island, Thomson and his party were captured by First Nations and, after a spell of captivity, ransomed to the Hudson’s Bay trading post at Fort Victoria.

Settling in picturesque Mount Newton Valley, Thomson sought to imbibe his eventual 15 children with a moral upbringing. A pious man, in 1862 he donated five acres of land for the building of the church which could provide it.

The lack of local saw mills meant planks of California redwood had to be imported from San Francisco and moved to the construction site by ox team.

Thomson’s great-great-granddaughter, Norma Sealey, can’t help but be in awe of her ancestors for the challenges they faced.

“When I look back and read about what they had to contend with, they come across as very courageous. They not only

In nearby Saanichton a similar process was underway as the population expanded thanks to an influx of farmer-immigrants from a rainbow of backgrounds.

“There were Chinese, black, Scottish and more. They all farmed out there,” said Karen Alexander Hoshal. Her greatgrandfather, Charles Alexander, one of the first British Columbians of African descent, arrived at the same time as Thomson, also in response to the appeal

from Governor Douglas.

A talented man, Alexander spearheaded the construction of a Methodist church, today’s Shady Creek. He designed and constructed the building, and wound up as the church’s first preacher, “probably because he had a loud voice,” Hoshal laughed.

Sadly, the original building burned down a few years later and Shady Creek’s congregation was forced to meet in the homes of area farmers. Finally, when the community had grown too big for these provisional accommodations, Alexander, now an old man, oversaw the construction of the larger church that stands to this day.

Shady Creek has since amalgamated with two other local congregations and become a Unitarian church with a weekly attendance of around 150.

Sealey continues to attend St. Stephen’s, the sixth generation of her family to do so.

“For generations all of our family has been baptized, married, and eventually buried here.”

She expects many distant relations to attend the numerous summer events St. Stephen’s will host to celebrate its birthday. These include a homecoming weekend June 1 to 3, and a service and barbecue on June 24. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Swarmbusters: new regional bee swarm hotline Erin McCracken News staff

It’s not that Barry Denluck goes looking for trouble when he sticks his hands in a ball of bees.

But when his cellphone rings, he’s prepared to do just that.

“Why would I be scared of bees? I like bees,” says the View Royal resident and parttime beekeeper.

He has responded to and collected swarms of bees – wearing appropriate beekeeper apparel – but hopes to hear from more people who spot clouds of 10,000-plus honey bees this summer.

The Capital Region Beekeepers Association established a dedicated bee swarm hotline.

Denluck, the association co-president, expects his phone could ring at anytime now that the warm weather has arrived, when bees depart overcrowded hives in a massive swarm to look for new accommodation.

“The general public doesn’t like 10,000 stinging insects sitting by their front door or sitting on their lilac bush,” he says.

He and seven other beekeepers, stationed from Sooke to Sidney, are ready to mobilize and scoop up these swarms and deliver them to some of the 20 aspiring beekeepers in the association.

“It’s important that more people become beekeepers,” Denluck says.

Starting new hives with local bees allows

Erin McCracken/News staff

Amateur beekeeper Joy Illington enjoys the sight of the thousands of honey bees working in her backyard at her Vic West home. beekeepers to foster a sustainable population of honey bees in Canada. Many beekeepers import bees from international destinations.

“The thought is that with many urban beekeepers, as well as just a few large commercial beekeepers, we can maintain a greater genetic diversity,” Denluck explains.

This is especially important with the 30-per-cent decline in North America’s honey bee population, he says, noting that bee populations are jeopardized primarily by human encroachment and pesticides.

Denluck is confident that the new bee swarm hotline will, in a

way, help build a stronger bee community.

Last year, the club learned of about 20 swarms, though Denluck estimates there are likely up to 100 swarms each year (in the region?).

The bees from Jill Illington’s backyard hives have tried leaving twice, due to overcrowding.

“In both cases there were good lessons for us,” the Victoria West resident says.

Luckily, Illington’s bees didn’t get far, and she ensured the buzzing insects settled back into a roomier hive.

Swarms typically attract a lot of attention in urban areas.

Last year, word spread

about a bee cloud that landed on a Douglas Street lamppost and another that rested on a car at the Tillicum Centre.

“This swarm, this cloud, can be as large as a house and as long as a bus,” Denluck says.

“So you’re going to see it and hear it a block away.”

The honey-makers will leave their home and stop over someplace for as little as two hours and as long as a day, while waiting for the scouts to fly off and find a new home.

With such a small window of opportunity in which the beekeepers can collect the swarm, it’s important for people to immediately call the hotline.

“Timing is critical,” Denluck says.

To report a swarm, call the bee swarm line at 250-900-5133, or email swarms@victoriabeekeepers.com. For details, visit victoriabeekeepers.ca. emccracken@vic news.com

OUR VIEW

Keep pressuring high-risk drivers Last weekend’s long weekend officially ushered in the summer season in the Capital Region – that means more beach time, more barbecues and for many, more time on the road.

That’s why police agencies are waging a focused assault on speeding and aggressive driving.

Saanich police in particular are hitting problem roads and intersections this month to drive home the idea that tailgating, speeding and highrisk driving won’t be tolerated.

It’s the kind of driving behaviour that frustrates motorists most on a daily basis – someone riding too close on the highway or weaving in and out of traffic, running yellows and reds and generally behaving in way that ramps up the road rage.

If homeowners are going to call the police about something in their neighbourhood, more often than not its about speeding and racing.

For police, combating reckless driving is a labour intensive and time consuming task. Unlike roadblocks where officers can wait for drunk drivers to come to them, traffic patrol needs to witness and document speeding and dangerous driving.

But it’s a worthwhile effort. Culled from police data, ICBC attributes 60 per cent of all crashes at intersections to speed, distracted and inattentive driving, and ignoring the right-of-way.

On Vancouver Island that drops to 50 per cent, but police link 29 traffic fatalities on average per year on the Island to speeding and reckless driving.

The annual campaign against high-risk driving picks up across the province in May, and more people than usual are being hit with tickets.

But people need to remember police aren’t the enemy, traffic officers are trying to make the roads safer and more civil for all.

Drinking and driving remains a high-profile problem and by definition is risky driving. But its the purely aggressive, high-risk driving that impacts people’s day to day lives as they drive to work or school or for recreation.

We encourage police and ICBC to help keep the pressure on bad drivers year round.

These bans are political, not public safety measures, University of Guelph toxicologist Keith Solomon told MLAs.

MLAs in farming areas signalled their concern over the effect of this urban gesture politics. Backyard fruit trees go unsprayed and pests spread to orchards and fields. We have large areas of agricultural land reserve, but 85 per cent of the people who live in those areas don’t farm.

WHY WAIT? WE CAN HELP NOW!

Happiness is a beautiful smile!

Conrad De Palma Denturist

Suites not so sweet as column suggests Re: Secondary suites could be key to affordable living (Real Savvy, May 11) This column (1) paints a very onesided picture of the suite issue, (2) makes statements that can’t withstand scrutiny, and (3) presents numbers that don’t add up.

Regarding (1), the writer does not mention a single negative impact of suites that residents voice at public hearings on suites.

Regarding (2), the writer states, for example, that Central Saanich is progressive. The CS 2011 removal of the requirement that the owner occupy one of the two dwelling units in a house with a suite, over the opposition of the public

at the public hearing, is hardly progressive.

Regarding (3), the writer states that Victoria pays a homeowner up to $5,000 towards 25 per cent of the construction cost of a suite. Thus the suite cost is about $20,000. A single-family home in Central Saanich assessed at around $500,000 has corresponding 2011 taxes of about $3,000. Adding $20,000 to the assessment if a suite is added increases the taxes by about 4 per cent or about $10 per month.

The writer then goes on to state that suites will enhance the municipality’s revenues. Clearly, $10 per month is insufficient to pay for the services received

by the occupants of the suite -- it is a losing proposition.

In the case of Victoria, the situation is even worse. With an interest rate as low as two per cent it will take Victoria decades to recover its $5,000. If interest rates go higher, the $10 per month wouldn’t even cover the interest. The only person who benefits from these suite arrangements is the homeowner who pockets the lion’s share of the rent money. The rest of the community, including renters in legitimate apartment buildings, is subsidizing the homeowner with the suite. This is grossly unfair.

Readers respond: big box stores, Fletcher, federal job cuts Plant health centre critical to food chain On May 9 my husband and I were part of a tour of the Centre for Plant Health organized by Elder College.

It was very informative and we were shocked to hear at the beginning of our tour that the federal government plans to close this facility.The research they are conducting at the centre is vital in regards to our food safety in Canada.

The testing of viruses related to tree fruit and grapevine is an essential to preventing viruses entering our country.

We wish to thank our MP Elizabeth May for “fighting tooth and nail to stop the closure”.

We would rather be part of their 100 year celebration.

Jan and Robert Carroll Saanichton

Central Saanich open for big box stores It appears some barbarians have managed to breach our

gate.

The mayor and council of Central Saanich in their wisdom have opened the door to big box stores.

Examples of light manufacturing successfully located here are Sherwood Industries, Harbour Cities Cabinets and others. They employ hundreds of employees, who spend money and pay taxes in our community. Other possibilities are high tech companies looking for quality communities where they can work, live and pay taxes – how about Central Saanich?

Let’s think outside the big box.

Give the big box stores to someone else. Be creative and thoughtful about what businesses we allow in Central Saanich. Big box stores should never be part of the equation. They don’t enhance our community. In the long run, they degrade it, including eradication of existing, thriving local businesses.

If we don’t give our voices to mayor and council, we will be forced to endure streams of vehicles pouring down

every artery to the very heart of this bucolic region.

Does the mayor and council believe they will all come down the highway? Say goodbye to rural drives down Oldfield and West Saanich roads.

Hopefully our mayor and council understand the uniqueness of our municipality. I implore them to apply common sense based on our everyday lifestyle. Lack of creativity is not a crime. It just diminishes lifestyles irrevocable.

We all know what follows the barbarians through the gate: the hoards. Welcome hoards; I guess we don’t really want all that breathing space anyway.

Fred Young Central Saanich

Fletcher balanced, yet unbalanced A combination of thumbs up and thumbs down to your legislative columnist Tom Fletcher.

Thumbs up for providing some balance to the emotionridden debate about the Northern Gateway pipeline and tanker proposal, particularly for pointing out the fiction of the tanker moratorium and stressing that we already have some 700 tanker trips a year through our local straits. We need more evidence-based discussion about the pros and cons of the Enbridge project.

Thumbs down to Tom for his assertion that subsidized BC Ferry service to the smaller coastal communities primarily benefits well-healed city dwellers with summer retreats. It is the local economies and the people who depend on them who are hurt by higher and higher ferry fares. Under Social Credit, ferry subsidies struck a balance between cost and the people’s ability to pay. We should go back to that format.

Vision Matters Dr. Paul Neumann

Healthy Eyes.

Doctor Delivered.

Sunglass protection Sunglasses, clip-ons and tinted lenses are used to block out the glare of bright sunlight. They can also filter out ultra-violet (UV) rays. These rays are invisible to the eye, yet potentially harmful.

Ultra-violet is thought to be absorbed mostly at the corneal level. This is the cause of “snow blindness,” an extremely painful condition.

Recent evidence indicates that some UV may play a role in cataract formation and may also be one of the causes of macular degeneration.

Misconceptions exist regarding sunglass selection and protection. It is true that you can’t tell how much UV a pair of sunglasses is blocking by the color or the density of tint. This doesn’t mean that UV light is difficult or expensive to block.

An inexpensive pair of sunglasses that claims to block 100% of UV almost certainly does. The advantage of the more expensive brands lies in the quality of their optics and the visual comfort they afford the wearer.

To get the best advice about sunglasses talk to an optometrist.

NEWS REVIEW

Making access to tools, knowledge Erin Cardone News staff

On a desk below a bright window sits a wooden cube, a rainbow mess of wires spraying from its top and sides forming a 3D printer. Four metres away sits a mini beer brewery that looks like a 1920s refrigerator in dull black. Under one of the taps, a plastic cup has a skiff of brew in the bottom.

Another two metres and there are chisels, lathes and saws, sawdust and wooden workbenches. Next, a propane forge, anvils, hammers.

Tucked under the bench, a casting forge for bronze work.

The Victoria Makerspace, on Central Saanich Road, is the hobby shop of one of the most diverse range of talents on the south Island. Its members are designers, woodworkers, blacksmiths, hackers and do-it-yourself brewers.

Makers are part of a growing worldwide trend with roots in the artisan movement. The idea is people can make the things they need by learning from local experts, rather than buying products exported

from faraway markets.

“The thing most driving me is building a community of people who like to learn.

Really neat things come out of it,” says Derek Jacoby.

Jacoby started Victoria Makerspace a year and a half ago.

It began as a hackerspace – a society of people who develop open hardware and media – but became a makerspace for more diverse talents soon thereafter.

“The mix [of talents] is sort of a model that I think is really making a name for itself,” Jacoby says.

He likens the space to a library, where people can gain access to information, or in this case tools and know-how, for a certain project.

Thomas Gray signed on with the local Makerspace

with Jacoby from the start. He leaves his laser cutter at the space – a tool well out of the reach of most people’s budgets – for others to use.

He said of the cutter, “30 years from now, this is going to be astounding stuff and people are going to have one at home. That’s why I think

What is a 3D printer?

Looks strange, sounds impossible. Using a computer generated design, the printer accepts and melts plastic. The melted plastic is slowly pumped in thin strings onto a platform that moves on a two-dimensional plane. As the strings build and pile onto each other, the computer generated image becomes a 3D object.

Beacon Wharf Updated Notice of Construction Commencing the week of June 4, 2012, Ruskin Construction Ltd will be undertaking important structural repairs to the Beacon Wharf. The construction work is anticipated to take approximately 4 weeks to complete and, for public safety during that time, the wharf will be closed to the public and business activity. Over the weeks ahead, updated information about the project and the project construction schedule will be posted on the Town’s website at www.sidney.ca. Questions regarding the project may also be directed to the Town’s Engineering Department at 250-656-4502.

it’s important to see this stuff now. My kids are going to do their university projects with a laser cutter.”

With the goal of meeting other makers in the region and possibly making connections that can help the Makerspace grow beyond its hacker, wood and metal shops, Jacoby and the space’s members are hosting the Island’s first Mini Maker Faire.

The deadline for makers’ applications is June 15.

“We’re really trying to reach out to people who make things with their hands,” Jacoby says. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

NEWS REVIEW

Police renew door-to-door warning Central Saanich police suggest residents do not entertain business from anyone doing door to door sales.

An incident last Thursday renewed the oft-repeated sentiment.

On May 17 elderly woman paid several hundred dollars for repairs she did not need. Two men were canvassing a

Saanichton neighbourhood advertising to power wash driveways. Several homeowners hired the men and paid a reasonable sum of cash for the work.

However, one elderly resident was advised by these men that she needed some painting done to her home in addition to a power washed driveway. The

men told her that they needed cash up front and they even escorted the victim to the bank to get the cash.

The elderly victim provided the cash to these men and they left saying they would return later to complete the extraneous repairs. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Turpin resigns June next year PHOTOGRAPHY GORDON LEE

Co-op supports city’s elite women’s soccer Peninsula Co-op is looking forward to an exciting season of women’s soccer after lending both its name and support to the Victoria Highlanders’ women’s squads.

As presenting partner of the Women’s First Team – Peninsula Co-op Women’s Soccer – the Co-op is thrilled to be able to support Victoria’s team in the United Soccer League’s W-League, the top amateur women’s league in North America.

Competition at this level brings additional expenses, such as travel to both California and Colorado, meaning the team needed sponsorship. The locally minded Peninsula Co-op was a perfect fit.

“When a company takes a leadership role like that, it’s huge,” says Highlanders president Alex Campbell. In addition to adding a sense of legitimacy to the program, the partnership also helps get the word out.

In fact, at the Women’s First Team’s season opener – which they won 3-2 against the Vancouver Whitecaps – attendance was up three times over last year.

The Women’s First and U20 teams both sport red and white jerseys bearing the Peninsula Co-op logo and players are working closely with the Co-op, participating with local events, promoting their sport and encouraging active, healthy lifestyles.

Following two games away in Colorado, fans are encouraged to come cheer on the home team June 1 at Royal Athletic Park.

Women’s First Team home games June 1 – vs Seattle Sounders, 7 p.m. at Royal Athletic Park June 3 – vs Colorado Force, 2 p.m. at Royal Athletic Park June 15 – vs LA Strikers, 7 p.m. at Royal Athletic Park June 20 – vs Santa Clarita Blue Heat, 7 p.m. at Royal Athletic Park June 22 – vs Pali Blues, 7 p.m. at Royal Athletic Park

David Turpin announced May 15 that he will resign as president of the University of Victoria in June 2013.

Turpin, who was appointed president and vice-chancellor of UVic in 2000, will step down after the school’s 50th anniversary celebrations and a challenging budget process are complete, “leaving a new president with a solid foundation to take UVic into its next stage of development,” David Turpin read a UVic press release.

“I have been extraordinarily fortunate to lead this great institution and I have been honoured to work with a great team of colleagues,” Turpin said. “Serving as president has been the highlight of my professional career. It is an experience I will treasure for the rest of my life.”

Susan Mehinagic, chair of UVic’s board of governors, said Turpin will leave a positive legacy.

“Under David Turpin’s leadership, UVic has emerged as one of the country’s leading universities. … The fact that during his tenure UVic has come to be ranked on the Times Higher Education’s list of the world’s top universities is no coincidence,” she said.

Turpin’s educational background is in plant biochemistry and physiology.

Prior to coming to UVic he was Vice-Principal Academic and Dean of Arts and Science at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ont. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Big band leader shares wealth of life experience Musician Robin Bannister gives back to community through music Brittany Lee News staff

St. John’s United Church

Standing in front of fellow members of the Swiftsure Big Band, long-time musician Robin Bannister waves his index finger in the air.

“A one, two, one, two, three, four,” Bannister chimes, leading the 18-member band into its first song during the regular Tuesday night rehearsal. The music room at St. Michaels University School fills with the sounds of woodwind instruments, drums, a cello and piano.

Bannister, who’s been with the band for eight years, takes a seat inbetween his fellow saxophone players and joins in.

The Sidney resident, who is in his early-70s, has more than five decades of experience in the music industry. He started playing music when he was a “youngster” in his junior high school band in the 1950s.

“I enjoyed being with a young group of people,” Bannister says.

Playing in a band gave him the inspiration to consider getting into music as a career, he adds.

In 1957, the Moose Jaw, Sask. native came to Victoria to attend the Royal Canadian Navy School of Music. After graduating, Bannister played clarinet and saxophone for the Naden Band, the

Canadian Forces naval band in Esquimalt.

For 20 years, he travelled and toured Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Japan with the naval band, playing at various fairs and expos. Bannister also led smaller entertainment groups, performing at isolated Canadian Forces bases throughout Canada and Europe.

He then enrolled at the University of British Columbia in 1977 and received his teaching certificate. He taught choir and vocal jazz at secondary schools throughout B.C. for 11 years.

“I enjoyed working with young people,” he says, adding that it was, however, a challenge.

Trying to inspire his students and introduce them to a different way of life was his biggest challenge, he says.

By sharing his experiences with his students and trying to act as a role model to them, he attempted to get them enthusiastic about music, he explains.

“I was fortunate to go into schools that had (music) programs that needed inspiration.”

His goal was “to get kids to get a taste of what music can provide” in their lives.

At age 55, Bannister took a hiatus from teaching and soon returned to being a full-time musician with the Canadian Forces Air Command Band in Winnipeg until he retired in 1993.

Bannister continues to stay involved with music. Besides conducting and playing with the Swiftsure Big Band, he is also the musical director and conductor of the Sidney Concert

Band. Under the direction of the Regional Cadet Music Supervisor, Bannister also continues to teach more than 600 kids.

Although Bannister has always loved music, he says he especially enjoys it now. Playing with musicians his own age, and who have shared experiences, everyone has fun, he explains.

The Swiftsure Big Band includes both hobby and professional musicians, with players as old as 90. It’s that “mingling of generations” that Bannister loves, and the opportunity to give back to the community.

“We create music, perform, and hopefully do some good,” he says. reporter@vicnews.com

Parkland Panthers earn place at provincials Lambrick Park steals senior girls soccer championship 3-2 after overtime

Don Denton/News staff

Parkland’s Amanda Pomphrey, right, can’t get the ball past Lambrick Park’s goal keeper Tyger Holt during the first half of the Island senior AA girls soccer championship last week.

The Parkland senior girls soccer team is second best on the Island.

After winning all three round robin games over two days the Parkland Panthers earned a spot in finals, and a berth at provincials.

The North Saanich school team fell to Lambrick Park secondary in extra time during the AA Island championships last week at St. Micheals University school.

Panther Meghan King opened the scoring in the final match just before the half to lead 1-0. Lambrick tied the score early in the second at 1-1.

Striker Emma Maynard split the Lambrick defense and put the ball past their challenging keeper to give Parkland a 2-1 lead.

The Parkland defense was clearing most of Lambrick’s balls and keeping their scoring opportunities to a minimum.

It looked like Parkland was going to win an Island championship, when with only two minutes to go,

the Lambrick midfielder took a booming shot into the wind that sailed just beyond Parkland keeper Kate Service’s outstretched fingers.

Parkland had a couple of scoring opportunities at the beginning of the 15 minute overtime but Lambrick capitalized on a slight communication glitch between the Parkland keeper and her defense.

The Lady Panthers fought back valiantly with great determination and had some close calls including a header that just bounced off the Lambrick cross bar.

Also in the last minute of play, captain Katie Kraeutner bounced one off the Lambrick keeper’s chest and King put the rebound just over the net.

The second place finish allows the local teens to take part in AA provincials May 31 to June 2 at Sa-hali secondary in Kamloops. sports@peninsulanewsreview.com

NEWS REVIEW

CFB Esquimalt welcomes newest Canadians Erin McCracken

“Not being able to vote is like not being able to have a choice in who leads.”

News staff

Erin McCracken/News staff

Real Estate

Matthew Bott, 11, and his 12-year-old sister Megan, of North Saanich, show off their Canadian colours after being sworn in as Canadian citizens at CFB Esquimalt last Thursday.

At just 12 years old, Megan Bott is looking forward to one day voting in an election, now that she is a newly minted Canadian citizen.

“Not being able to vote is like not being able to have a choice in who leads,” said the Grade 7 North Saanich middle school student.

She was one of four children and 54 adults, representing 22 countries, who became Canadian citizens at a ceremony at CFB Esquimalt last Thursday.

Megan, her younger brother and their parents emigrated from Guernsey island in the English Channel in 2004, and now call North Saanich home.

– Megan Bott

One of the final steps to becoming a citizen during the ceremony came when each candidate recited the Oath of Citizenship, led by Rear Admiral Nigel Greenwood, commander of Maritime Forces Pacific.

The oath is a promise of loyalty to the queen, that Canadian laws will be followed and duties as a Canadian citizen will be respected.

Greenwood’s involvement marks the first time in Western Canada that a military member administered the Oath of Citizenship. Last Octo-

DFH SIDNEY’S

ber Jason Kenney, minister of Citizenship and Immigration Canada, gave that privilege to recipients of the Order of Military Merit.

Prior to that guest presiding officers included the governor general, lieutenant governors and Order of Canada recipients.

“In finding your place in Canada, as its newest citizens, you can claim the common collective history of all Canadians who have come before you,” Greenwood told the candidates.

He came to Canada when he

was a child.

Miles Packham, 9, decided to wear his Boy Scout uniform to mark the occasion.

“I could have worn plenty of other things,” said Miles, a Grade 4 student at the Victoria School for Ideal Education in Oaklands.

“But if I’m going to meet the admiral I thought I should look something slightly the same as the admiral.”

He and his parents built a new life in Saanich after leaving their home in London, England about five years ago.

Miles’ citizenship has been a long-time coming.

“I’m finally a Canadian citizen,” he said, before taking a big bite of red and white cake. emccracken@vicnews.com

Gold and Silver Coins Selling for Highest Prices in Over 30 Years Due to Weak Economy and Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Happening Right Here in Victoria!

By DAVID MORGAN STAFF WRITER

ICC will be placing ads in newspapers, radio and running television spots this week asking people to bring in any old silver and gold coins made before 1968 and U.S. coins made before 1970. Those that bring in their coins will be able to speak with collectors one on one and have their coins looked at by a specialist.

With the help of these ICC members, offers will be made to those that have coins made before 1968. Offers will be made based on silver or gold content and the rarity of the coins. All coins made before 1968 will be examined and purchased including gold coins, silver coins, silver dollars, all types of nickels and pennies.

Those that decide to sell their coins will be paid on the spot.

If you are like a lot of people you might have a few old coins or even a coffee can full lying around. If you have ever wondered what they are worth now might be your chance to find out and even sell them if you choose. They could be worth a lot according to the International Coin Collectors also known as ICC. Collectors will pay a fortune for some coins and currency for their collections. If it is rare enough, one coin could be worth over $100,000 according to Eric Helms, coin collector and ICC member.

One ultra rare dime, an 1894S Barber, sold for a record $1.9 million to a collector in July of 2007. While that is an extreme example, many rare and valuable coins are stashed away in dresser drawers or lock boxes around the country. The ICC and its collector members have organized a traveling event in search of all types of coins and currency. Even common coins can be worth a significant amount due to the high price of silver and gold, says Helms.

Washington quarters and Roosevelt dimes can be worth many times their face value. Recent silver markets have driven the price up on common coins made of silver. Helms explains that all U.S. half dollars, quarters and dimes made before 1970 contain 90% silver and are sought after any time silver prices rise. Right now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sellers market he said.

The rarest coins these collectors are looking for include $20, $10, $5 and $2 1/2 gold coins and any coin made before 1850. These coins always bring big premiums according to the ICC. Silver dollars are also very sought after nowadays.

Other types of items the ICC will be purchasing during this event include U.S. currency, gold bullion, investment gold, silver bars, silver rounds, proof sets, etc. Even foreign coins are sought after and will be purchased.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s How It Works: Also at this event anyone can sell their gold jewellery, dental gold or anything made of gold on the spot. Gold is currently trading at record high prices. Bring anything you think might be gold and the collectors will examine, test and price it for free. If you decide to sell, you will be paid on the spot â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it has been an unknown fact that coin dealers have always paid more for jewellery and scrap gold than other jewelers and pawn brokers.

So whether you have one coin you think might be valuable or a large collection you recently inherited, you can talk to these collectors for free. If yourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky you may have a rarity worth thousands. Either way there is nothing to lose and it sounds like fun!
