Olsen will lead the B.C. Green Party Former Central Saanich councillor vows to help the party be ready for 2017 Steven Heywood News staff
Adam Olsen says his new job with the B.C. Green Party will take him across the province, working with members with an eye to winning additional seats in the legislature in 2017. Olsen was appointed interim leader of the B.C. Greens Saturday night following a vote by the party’s new provincial council at its annual general meeting in Vancouver. Olsen replaces Jane Sterk who led the party for seven years and who announced her retirement earlier this month. Olsen, 37, is a former Central Saanich district councillor who ran in the last provincial election in Saanich North and the Islands. He came third in a close race that saw the NDP’s Gary Holman win in an official recount over Stephen Roberts of the B.C. Liberals. Olsen is a member of the Tsartlip First Nation and has a family business, Salish Fusion Knitwear, with his partner Emily and children Silas and Ella. The Green Party’s provincial council elected Olsen as interim leader to help guide the party forward, following success in the last election that saw Andrew Weaver elected as their first Adam Olsen MLA. Olsen said the party will eventually hold a leadership race to select a more permanent leader, but for now, both he and the provincial council are facing steep learning curves. “I’m happy to be in this role,” he said. “We have a tremendous opportunity with Andrew in the legislature.” “I am delighted and excited to see Adam Olsen appointed as interim leader of the B.C. Green Party,” Weaver said in a media release. Please see: Serious politicians, serious issues, page 4

“Also I welcome the new members to the Provincial Council, and thank all the board members for their deliberations, and decision to appoint an interim leader. “Adam ran an amazing campaign, with a nail biting finish. He has demonstrated his leadership and community development skills as a municipal councillor and business owner, and he will bring energy, direction and purpose to the party and members. I look forward to working closely with him as we build towards electing more MLAs.” His role, Olsen continued, will be to campaign for the party and build up its membership base and election war chest. He said the party has made great strides under Sterk’s leadership and will only grow in the future. “I’m very, very excited about the place where the party is at,” Olsen said. “ Yes, this is an opportunity to work for the party but it’s an opportunity to build people up, find young candidates and get ready for the 2017 provincial election.” Olsen said he will work to change the impression that the Green Party is a one-issue party and does have policies regarding the economy, small business and social services — not just

Tourism Victoria membership a squabble for municipalities
With 57 years of cumulative experience, our professional Audiologists have been serving Oak Bay and Sidney for 19 years.
Part II in a series looking at tourism around the Island Danielle Pope News staff
It may be a tourist’s haven in the summer, but municipalities around the region have squabbled for years about who pays to keep visitors pulling out their wallets to come to Vancouver Island. “From our point of view, we look after our own residents rather than the summer touristy crowd,” said Langford Mayor Stew Young. “Every municipality has to look at its strengths, and it is hard to do marketing year round, but we have our focus on pulling in sports teams and giving our residents great entertainment and we do an excellent job of that.” Langford isn’t alone in that philosophy and has made a conscious choice not to dedicate its hotel tax to Tourism Victoria – the organization that is largely credited for drawing in the estimated three million tourists who visit Victoria each year. Though Tourism Victoria stopped doing exit surveys due to cost in 2009, which tracked exact visitor numbers, said Tourism Victoria board chair Dave Cowen, more sophisticated marketing tools through Trip Advisor, Stats Canada and web statistics keeps the organization knowing where to market. In 2012, the top-five incoming destinations were from Europe, the U.S. and Mexico, Washington, other parts of Canada and B.C. Though Victoria is not seeing the kind of tourists it saw 10 years ago, Cowen said, that’s “a

ferry traffic from Anacortes is mainly due to the tourism pull of Butchart Gardens and other elements the Island is known for, which benefits everyone – even though Sidney is already fortunate to have a strong manufacturing industry. Interestingly, Butchart Gardens is a private member with Tourism Victoria, while Central Saanich, where the hotspot is located, is not. Cross said Sidney benefits from plenty of “run-off traffic” from the Gardens, as well as ferry passengers on their way through. “Tourism is the most significant economy we have and any supportive marketing we can do is a good thing,” Cross said. “All vessels rise together when the water comes up.” Sooke is one municipality that prefers to go it alone. The Sooke Region Tourism Association is funded by a provincial and municipal grant.
Canadian issue more than a destination issue.” “The figures can be really misleading,” Cowen said. “Sept. 11 changed everything and the visitor economy is still trying to recalibrate in Canada, so we have to work even harder to make sure that happens.” Currently, seven out of 13 south Island municipalities hold a membership, which chimes in at $695 a year – or $395 for a reduced rate – and entitles participants to a listing on TourismVictoria.ca and in the annual Vacation Guide, social media tools, a brochure rack at the Visitor Centre, visitor maps, decals and voting rights (reduced members lose their listing in the Vacation Guide and visitor sections of the website). Members also receive special promotions, discounts and sales leads, and more benefits can be included for $350 each add-on. The Town of Sidney is pleased with the contributions its membership grants.

OUR VIEW
Tourism should showcase region “Who will help me plant the seed?” asks The Little Red Hen in the old Russian folk tale. As she plants the seed, mills the wheat and bakes the bread, she asks her fellow farm dwellers, “Who will lend a hand?” “Not I,” comes the reply – until it’s time to eat. Not I, seems to be the attitude of several Greater Victoria municipalities when it comes to paying their share of Tourism Victoria’s marketing budget. Sure, they’ll take the spin-off from the $2-million or so spent on luring tourists to the city, but participate in the funding: “Not I.” Langford Mayor Stew Young likely speaks for many of the outlying municipalities when he says they would see no benefit from sharing the wealth. A quick trip to Tourism Victoria’s website seems to prove him right. Other than the obligatory nod to landmark Butchart Gardens, which pays on its own to be a member of the organization, while Central Saanich, the municipality in which it sits does not, it takes a bit of hunting to find the mere mention of Langford, Sidney or Sooke. It’s arguable that many people who come to Victoria never venture outside the city limits and many that do, hop on a bus to Butchart Gardens and return to town without a chance to visit a Saanich Peninsula winery or farm stand, let alone cycle along the Galloping Goose or swim in the Sooke Potholes. Greater Victoria’s tourism strategy is a bad one. As it stands, it’s yet another fine example of how 13 separate fiefdoms stand in the way of enhancing the whole. Those who only preview our area through Tourism Victoria’s eyes will see a place too small to keep their interest for more than a few days. They may never know they can surf in Sooke, go to a national historic site at Fort Rodd Hill or visit an aquarium in Sidney. The moral of The Little Red Hen teaches us if we don’t put in the work, we shouldn’t reap the reward. The region needs to come up with a strategy to increase tourism across Greater Victoria. Having a unified strategy for marketing the entire Capital Region is a necessity if we really want to attract tourists who stay and take in all we have to offer. What do you think?

The Alberta and federal governments have spent billions on their favoured carbon-reduction method, carbon capture and storage – trapping CO2 released by burning fossil fuels and pumping it into the ground – but this method has yet to be perfected. Many schemes are controversial and have shown mixed results in tests, and the danger of unintended consequences is real, including further catastrophic, irreversible damage to the climate system. One major drawback with geoengineering is the mistaken idea that it can be a substitute for reducing greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change. That many geoengineering projects are fraught with danger and would not resolve the problem quickly enough or even effectively – and would do little or nothing to resolve other fossil fuel problems such as pollution – makes this a critical concern. A U.K. Royal Society study concludes that geoengineering “should only be considered as part of a wider package of options for addressing climate change” and carbon dioxide reduction methods should be preferred over more unpredictable solar radiation management.

LETTERS Keep Beacon the way it is
I
think the existing one-way scheme works very well: 1. It provides an attractive and safe shopping and cafe environment for all, including pedestrians and vulnerable road users. 2. It provides easy parking at the side of the road for drivers. 3. It slows the pace of traffic which gives drivers an easier chance to spot somewhere they may wish to visit or park, and makes the environment safer for all. I suspect that changing to two way traffic might actually reduce business activity and could certainly be detrimental to safety. There is another option, and that would be to make Bevan one way west to east all the way from the Information Centre to First Street and Beacon Avenue one way east to west (reverse
of the current one way) all the way from First Street to the Information Centre. The Information Centre service could then be transferred to the Mary Winspear Centre and the island it currently sits on reshaped to allow an anti-clockwise traffic flow around it. This would remove any of the existing left turn manoeuvres across oncoming traffic for vehicles turning off or coming across the highway. Additional traffic calming measures could be considered for both Beacon and Bevan avenues. I don’t think this option would be very popular with businesses on Beacon Avenue, as drivers from the highway would not be able to go straight down Beacon Avenue. So, in my view, let’s stick with what we have for now. Charles Downing Sidney
Readers respond: Socialism, elections Socialism is not a dirty word
Election procedure should be reformed
When did socialism become a dirty word? Socialism is people paying for health care every month so that should an expensive health problem arise it will be paid for. Socialism is getting paid when you lose your job, having compulsory vacation time and a paycheck when you’re too sick to work. Socialism is upgrading infrastructure like storm sewers, having our streets plowed when it snows. These are not bad things and socialism is neither a bad word nor a bad practice. It works very well in countries like Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Venezuela. Yes, taxes are higher with socialism. The services people receive are not free. It comes from the industries in those countries and from the people who can afford to pay taxes. It’s a system that allows people to live in harmony. In his letter (PNR, Aug. 14) E.W. Bopp said socialism is proving to be an abysmal failure throughout the world. The real failure is the far-right political parties in countries like the USA, Canada and the European Union. It’s here that we are destroying our atmosphere, water and farmland, shutting down unions and legitimate strikes, moving jobs to low-wage countries and denying reasonable wage increases to workers. Big companies have everything to gain by supporting these neoliberal governments who will return the favour. They can use their unearned billions to pay for sexy ad saturation campaigns to get you to vote for exactly the kind of government you don’t want. Wake up, Canada. You do want socialism but you have to pay for it. Pat Carson Sidney
Re: Letter from E.W. Bopp, PNR, Aug. 14. Obviously E.W. Bopp has attended the locker room of Conservative/Liberal political double talk of the old school. We can only speculate what a federal NDP government would actually do. The so-called catastrophic failure of the provincial NDP results — Really? Catastrophic? The way we elect government in this country, at any level, should be reformed. The popular vote does not elect a party. The first past the post is what is a catastrophic failure in this country. Facts are based on what we know, not on speculation. The abysmal failure that took North America on the brink of the largest economic disaster since the great depression was the private sector in the USA and far right wing free enterprise. If Mr. Harper and Ms. Clark had their way, every publicly owned asset in this country would be turned over to the private elite. Health and education would be reserved for the wealthy while the rest of Canadians would pay for these through subsidies to quasi-private owned systems. Canada’s wealth is resource based, so what’s wrong with having some social principals around ownership and return on investment? I don’t support a two-class system which is being driven by the Conservatives. We are standing witness to a disappearing middle class and the Liberal platform immediately following the last provincial election was exactly what we hear from the Harper government. Is it okay to sell off government assets while millions in tax dollars are transferred to
operate B.C. Ferries who is getting the largest tax subsidies in their history (20 million in 2012)? The Fraser Institute just released a damning report on corporate welfare ($22 billion) with little to no return on these tax dollars. The Liberals answer to balancing the books – sell the people’s assets even if they turn a profit. This is one Canadian who thinks it is time to adjust the needle back to the middle. Speculation is just that. I live in the real world and I’m sick to death of paying multiple taxes, environment fees, climate fees, outrageous salaries, benefits and expenses to those elected who run on a platform of all Canadians but we live with political progress for the elite.

Wednesday, August August 28, 28, 2013 2013 -- PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW Wednesday,
LETTERS Give compost a chance in Central Saanich I fully agree with the letter Christine Duffield wrote (It’s easier to complain than it is to support, PNR, Aug. 14). I couldn’t have said it any better myself. Give Foundation Organics a chance to work out the problems they have, it’s just growing pains. The owners have proven over and over again that they are willing to work with the neighbourhood and explain the ongoing process. Why people refuse to see the big-
ger picture and the necessity of a composting plant is beyond me. There are people who will always complain just because they can. Marion Hansen Central Saanich
Wake up and smell the compost Re: It’s easier to complain than it is to support, PNR Aug. 14. I agree fully with Christine Duffield’s statement in her letter
about the composting facility in Central Saanich that it’s always easier to complain than to support, because that’s exactly what she is doing — complaining about people who are working to improve their community and who can use more widespread support. If Ms. Duffield lived in the area affected by the persistent foul odours she likely would not have written such an uninformed letter about “a few people” trying to spoil our land. It isn’t a question of the facility
needing more time. Foundation Organics has been in business for two years now. Residents in other jurisdictions have refused to allow composting facilities in their neighbourhoods for all the same reasons we must — the stench, the massive truck traffic, the noise and the leachate problems. There are many issues with this composting facility including the odours created that stretch well into the Tanner Ridge and Keating areas. And there’s the issue of fair-
ness. This is an industrial, commercial operation paying taxes as if it were a farm. Compare this situation to that of the residents of Viewfield Road, a small neighbourhood that would have been negatively impacted if the CRD’s sewage plant had gone there. Foundation Organics is negatively impacting the lives of a few thousand people. That’s not green and that’s not responsible. B. Bell Central Saanich

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Wednesday, August 28, 2013
Not time for the balcony garden to have a rest T
his week I’ll be lucky to make the Peninsula News Review’s deadline. There have been so many distractions: visitors, telephone calls, meals to make, shopping ... a lot of things that got in the way. The balcony is looking pretty sad now. It seems to feel that its done its bit for this season and it’s time to have a rest. I have plans for it that don’t include a rest. I intend to plant bulbs in early September. Some are sitting in a basket in the utility room ever since being up-rooted after their foliage died down in early summer. I’ll have to buy more, of course. Buying bulbs gives me a lot of pleasure. It reminds me of years ago when I sold bulbs out of our garage on Melissa Street. I’m also reminded of choosing varieties of bulbs from a grower in Richmond. Those were wonderful days for me. “Himself” wasn’t

Over the Garden Fence that impressed when I talked of the attributes of fritillaria imperialis as compared to frittilaria melagris. He used to say, “Who did you say had what disease?” He knew a lot about flying aircraft, but next to nothing about growing plants, which was just as well ... no arguments that way. This reminds me of another bulb (actually a rizome) called schizostyllis coccinea (crimson flag) which flowers in the fall when other flowers are dying, or already dead. These flowers look somewhat like dwarf gladiola. The foliage is similar but
they are considerably shorter and come only in pink, rose and scarlet. I used to see clumps of them in a bed outside the entrance to the Jubilee cancer clinic, where my darling husband “himself” used to go for treatment. It is so nice to see new blooms when everything else is looking tired. The balcony is fading fast, although the geraniums continue to put on a show and the purple petunias are still trying their best, but there comes a time to make a change and I’m afraid that time has come. I think I’ll seed some spinach — it’s pretty hardy — and maybe some lettuce. I hate it when the choices get limited but everything changes, even the weather. We could do with some rain, but not too much, please. I’ve asked Steve, our esteemed editor, if I might ask a friend, a knowledgeable gardener if she could write
CONSERVE & SAVE WITH NATURAL GAS
some garden articles in my stead and he agreed, so Annie Zarrath is going to be a guest columnist every so often. I don’t want to quit, but I’m getting
older and only have a balcony, which does limit what gardeners who have a proper garden might enjoy and find helpful. Oh, darn, I’m crying, and don’t

It offers membership at $125 a year, and is working on collecting a hotel tax from the three hotels and bed and breakfasts in the area. “There’s always been the criticism that our voice is smothered by bigger interests,” said Sooke acting mayor Maya Tait. “How do we get the representation? We do like the fact that we are our own entity, and Sooke is a volunteer-based community. Making a trip into town is time spent away from helping our own community.” Despite its small budget, Sooke has forged successful partnerships with Tourism Vancouver Island, Tofino, Blackball Transport out of Port Angeles and the province of Alberta. Other areas on the north peninsula have taken a similar lead. Though Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin won’t weigh in on whether it’s fair for some municipalities to benefit from the central pull without contributing, he does point to the need for every arm of the region to view membership as an essential investment. “The reach of Tourism Victoria is so high, and it just doesn’t make sense for each of the municipalities to market themselves,” Fortin said. “This is an industry we all need to continue to promote and, no matter where you live, it’s good for the whole.” news@mondaymag.com

It’s In Our Nature.
STEVEn hEyWOOD editor@peninsula newsreview.com Get ready to be whisked away to the time of the Bard when Shakespeare comes to Sidney by the Sea. From Sept. 6 to 8, the Victoria Shakespeare by the Sea Theatre Company brings Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night’s Dream to Beacon Park and the Mary Winspear Centre. Steve Duck says he hopes the performances will be the first of more to come. Duck, of TIDES destination and event services in Sidney, said the first show - A Midsummer Night’s Dream - on Friday, Sept. 6 at 7:30 p.m., will be held at the Mary Winspear Centre. The production then moves outdoors to Beacon Park on Saturday, Sept. 7 at 2 p.m. and again at 7 p.m. The Sunday, Sept. 8 showings at 2 and 7 p.m. of Romeo and Juliet both take place in the park. “We’re bringing a sense of theatre to the outdoors,” Duck said, adding performers will be using aerial equipment and will work amongst the audience in the park.

MidsuMMer night’s dreaM - Performers with Victoria Shakespeare by the Sea Theatre Company bring two plays to Sidney Sept. 6 to 8. It will create an intimate atmosphere, Duck said. If the weather turns inclement, the shows will move to the Winspear Centre. Sidney Shakespeare by the Sea will be the first ticketed event in Beacon Park, Duck said. Town council recently changed its parks use policy to allow for the shows this year. Duck added his goal is to bring the theatre company back in 2014 with MacBeth. The performers’ and audi-
ence areas in Beacon Park will be marked, Duck said, but the park will be open to the public. Tickets are $25 with seating first come, first served. Organizers will also seek donations from passers-by. Duck added proceeds from the ticket sales will be used to cover costs and help pay the performers. To learn more, or to get tickets, visit www.TIDESgroup.com or call the Mary Winspear Centre at 250656-0275.
Keep Cool
at the
Street Smarts
Well,what a beauty day yesterday in Sidney for the Annual Torque Masters car show. Some real nice cars, trucks and bikes down there. Some even for sale (wink wink). I like to get down there early to watch the cars roll in. That way I can hear them as well as see them. I wandered into Alexanders and got my coffee and scone and then proceeded down to have a look and of course, to see some familiar faces. The one thing that is pretty consistent through the whole show is owners wiping and brushing. I thought to myself that this would be a great place to sell wax and polish, and I’m surprised that no one had a little booth set
up selling good quality waxes. We’ve touched on this subject before but we can go over it again as winter is coming and car’s paint needs to be protected. YES, even if you bought the “once in a lifetime” protection package from your dealer. We all know how I feel about that. We use Autoglym here. It’s a radiant wax polish that goes on easily and wipes off even easier. A good wax will only last about 3-4 washes. Then it will be time to apply it again, but it’s so easy to apply I can run around a car in about 15 minutes (no,I don’t want to do yours thanks very much). I can barely manage mine. Wax should stay clear of all black plastics. It will discolour it and is very difficult to
get off. And also don’t wax your sterring wheel or brake pedals please, lest you want to visit me in the not too distant future. Waxing your aluminum wheels is ok as well.It will make them easier to keep clean in the future. That’s really what a good hand wax is all about. It provides a protective layer between gunk and your top coat. It will also get rid of those fine scratches in dark colours. So get out there while the weather is still good and do like The Karate Kid. Wax on… Wax off.

At one time or another almost every parent scolds 106-1505 Admirals Rd. (near Thrifty Foods) a child for reading in poor light. I often suspect the motivation is mostly jealousy. If I can’t read in poor light, why should anyone else? Young healthy eyes have tremendous mechanisms in place to compensate for lack of light. No evidence exists to suggest reading in poor light can www.saanichoptometry.ca do permanent damage to the eyes, however readTao* eyestrain. has joined ing in poorDr. lightDaisy can cause As we age our ability & to focus decreases. Extra Dr. Charles Simons* Dr. Victor J. Chin* light helpsQuadra by increasing contrast causing our 119-3995 @ McKenzie (inand Saanich Centre) pupils to contract. The smaller pupil increases our *Denotes Optometric depth of focus, thereby making it Corporation easier to read. A strong diffuse light is recommended for reading. Natural daylight is excellent as long as it comes from above or behind the reader. Avoid all sources of glare. Many occupations and hobbies require specific lighting arrangements. If you have questions about your lighting needs, ask your family Optometrist, and don’t be surprised if “MORE LIGHT” is prescribed.

Local athletes return with medals from games Summer games in Sherbrooke, Quebec a success for Peninsula athletes Devon MacKenzie News staff
A handful of Peninsula athletes have returned from the Summer Games in Sherbrooke, Quebec with some new hardware to show off. The games, which
ran from Aug. 2 to 17, saw thousands of athletes from all over the country gather in Sherbrooke to battle for the national top spots. Casey Atkin, who competed in the 400 m (7th) and 4 x 400 relay (2nd) during the games still came out
with a medal and a positive outlook despite an injury in her leg during one of her last races. “My final race for the 400m on Thursday didn’t go as planned. Mentally I was prepared, I felt very determined. Going into my last race of the season
felt a little surreal, and when the cameras from TSN were on me at the start line, I thought, ‘jeez this is big stuff’, but sadly I couldn’t make a strong finish because of an injury in the back of my leg,” explained Atkin. Thankfully, due to a
physio treatment following the 400m race, Atkin was still able to run anchor for the 4 x 400 relay the next day. “Our relay team was ranked first going into finals but we knew our best chance was probably silver or bronze because Alberta’s final
team was going to be very strong,” she said. “I was definitely was hesitant to race. I didn’t want to let the team down if my leg was too painful. I went in scared but so driven, I wanted the silver so badly and so did the team.” And silver it was for the team made up of Atkin, Sarah Ann Sawatzky from Chilliwack, Raquel Tjernagel from New Westminster and Devan Wiebe from Vancouver. Team B.C. mens’ 4 x 400 relay also took the silver with Brendon Restall who also hails from Victoria. Danielle Delage from Brentwood Bay, who competed in
the heptathlon during the games, placed fourth. Deborah Snell from Brentwood Bay snagged the gold in both women’s rowing quad sculls and women’s light weight double sculls with teammate Keira Flanagan from Sidney. Rower Michelle Aylard, also from Sidney, also took gold in both the female four with her team and the female eight with coxswain.
