Correction

• In the Sept. 3 editorial, Support should be public, the PNR used the words “secret interests” when the words “private” or “incamera” interests would have been more appropriate in an attempt to describe the general components of in-camera meetings — matters that relate to legal, labour and land issues. The PNR did not intend for the words used to be interpreted in any other way.

Breaking the silence for silvan Wednesday, Sept. 10 is World Suicide Prevention Day and North Saanich’s Renate Herberger is ready to share her story Devon MacKenzie News staff

Almost two years after losing her son, Renate Herberger is ready to speak out about her family’s experience with suicide.

“I chose this time to talk about my experience because Sept. 10 is World Suicide Prevention Day,” explained Herberger while sitting in the quiet sanctuary that is her North Saanich home.

Herberger’s son Silvan was only 23 when he took his life, something she thinks of every day.

“He was so young and he had his whole life ahead of him. He was an incredibly passionate, loyal and beautiful luminous individual, and that’s how I will always remember him,” she said.

Silvan, who grew up in Victoria and in his late teens became involved with the Capoeira community (a Brazillian martial art that combines dance, acrobatics and music), touched many people’s lives, Herberger said.

“He had many friends and acquaintances he met through Capoeira. He was well-liked and he was an amazing athlete,” she explained.

“As a group, we are often ignored, stigmatized and shunned.

Especially as mothers.”

Herberger continued that Silvan told her at one point that he was pressured to take anabolic steroids.

Another hurdle in Silvan’s life occurred two months later, according to his mom.

“He told me he had a lump in his chest which doctors suspected could have been malignant. Two weeks later he would have the surgery to remove the mass and he began his recovery,” Herberger explained.

Months later, Silvan would stop participating in an activity he had enjoyed.

“I think when he walked away from Capoeira he really had nothing and nobody. He had been a part of the community for many years. He took to it like a fish to water,” she said.

Herberger, who is a long-distance swimmer and swims in South America every year to raise awareness about marine ecosystems, had invited Silvan to go with her on her trip that year.

“I offered for him to come along knowing that he had quit Capoeira. The fact that he didn’t come with me on my trip

“In hindsight, I see that these were signs of depression. He loved travelling, he loved Costa Rica, it just didn’t make sense.”

It would be during that trip that Herberger would get a call informing her that her son had taken his own life.

“I’ll never forget that night,” she said.

“Getting that call, that is every mother’s worst nightmare.”

Moving forward through tragedy Herberger said the stigma of suicide can affect a family — especially mothers — in a way that nothing else does.

“For me, I was shunned, and from talking with other mothers in support groups like Compassionate Friends, this is quite a common occurrence. People don’t know what to say or how to react when someone loses a child to suicide so their reaction is nothing. That can be devastating.

“A bereaved mother or father should never be abandoned, but it happens all the time. Which puts bereaved parents at the top of the list for suicide attempts of their own. Isolation is killer.

“When I buried Silvan I buried our Capoeria family, which was a group of people we had both grown close to.”

10.375" X 2.857

Herberger said the only solution to the problem is more education around suicide prevention and the effects of suicide on families.

“Suicide is still such a taboo topic,” Herberger said.

“It is something that, instead of being ignored, should be talked about. I think it should be a part of the curriculum in schools. Teaching children from an early age about suicide, in an appropriate way, is important. They need to know growing up what the warning signs are, what do to if they or a friend are experiencing those types of thoughts, and where to go if they need help. Parents need to be educated as well to be able to recognize the warning signs.

“In Silvan’s case, there were many factors. Because I didn’t have the information, I didn’t read and I wasn’t as sensitive to all the potential warning signs.

“If I had been more aware of the signs I could potentially have been able to help.

Instead, that’s a question mark I have to live with for the rest of my life.”

Herberger said that education around how to deal with those who have been affected by suicide is also needed.

“As a group, we are often ignored, stigmatized and shunned. Especially as mothers.”

Arbitration call rejected Education Minister calls BCTF proposal ‘empty effort’ giving false hope; B.C. Teachers Federation ready to vote Jeff Nagel

Teachers to vote Wednesday

Black Press

Education Minister Peter Fassbender has rejected the B.C. Teachers Federation’s call Friday for binding arbitration to end the teachers strike.

He said the BCTF never gave the province a detailed written proposal and the union’s insistence on several preconditions would have tilted arbitration in its favour.

“It became very clear that it was another empty effort to give parents and teachers a false hope that there is a simple way to resolve the dispute,” Fassbender said Saturday.

BCTF president Jim Iker urged the province to agree to arbitration and leave class size and composition to be settled by the courts, promising the union would then hold a membership vote on suspending the strike and returning to work.

“Our position is that we hope arbitration will see a solution,” said Colin Plant, Second VicePresident of the Saanich Teachers’ Association. “We believe our bargaining position is reasonable and we are willing to be flexible at every turn.

Fassbender said binding arbitration hands over control to a third party and risks an outcome that compromises B.C.’s balanced budget and unacceptably damages the province’s finances.

The last use of binding arbitration by the province in 2001 led to a surprise $400-million increase in fees for B.C. doctors that prompted the government to raise the provincial sales tax by 0.5 per cent.

Fassbender remained firm

VICTORIA – B.C.’s striking teachers will vote Wednesday on the union’s proposal to take their long-running dispute with the province to binding arbitration, B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker said Monday.

The BCTF is willing to send not only its wage and benefit demands but its proposal for class size and special needs support to an independent arbitrator, Iker said. The BCTF wants $225 million a year to improve classroom conditions, spent only on new teachers, and the government has budgeted $75 million, some of which is paid to teaching assistants who belong to the Canadian Union of Public Employees.

Iker said results of the vote will be available Wednesday evening. A yes vote will give certainty to the union’s position and binding arbitration is the “easiest way” to get schools open again, he said.

NDP leader John Horgan also called on the government Monday to make the “unprecedented” move to accept arbitration. Horgan said if the government is as secure in its belief its wage offer is fair, it should have no concern about the results.

— Tom Fletcher/Black Press

that the province wants a negotiated settlement in line with the pay raises accepted by other government unions.

“The BCTF leadership is trying to avoid having the tough conversation with their members about what is realistic and achievable at the bargaining table.”

Iker reiterated the offer Sunday, calling it a “fair, workable, and pragmatic plan to end the strike, open schools, and get children back into classrooms.”

He said his only precondition is that the province drop its proposed E80 clause, which allows either side to dodge the effect of a future appeal court ruling against them on class size and special needs resources.

“Their attempt to bargain their way out of their two court losses has been the biggest obstacle to a settlement,” Iker said.

BUDGET 2015 CONSULTATIONS

“E80 has to go,” added Plant.

“To say we don’t have a right to negotiate on class size and composition is not bargaining. It would reverse any work teachers have done on class size and composition since 2002.”

Prior to the BCTF offer, government negotiator Peter Cameron said arbitration was undesirable, not just because of the financial risk to government, but because it takes the decision out of the hands of both the government and the BCTF. “The parties end up not really having made the hard decisions and owning the outcome,” he said.

“And it involves a third party, who would likely be a labour relations person rather than an educator, making educational decisions.”

Central Saanich officer to receive Order of Merit CENTRAL SAANICH — A Central Saanich police officer was awarded the Order of Merit yesterday along with four other Vancouver Island police officers in Ottawa.

During the Rideau Hall ceremony on Sept. 9, Deputy Chief Les Sylven was invested as a Member of the Order of Merit of the Police Forces by Governor General David Johnston.

The Order honours the leadership and exceptional service displayed by the men and women of Canadian Police Services.

Membership in the Order is based on the highest quality of citizenship, service to Canada, to the police profession and to humanity at large.

“Representing Central Saanich at Rideau Hall and meeting the Governor General while wearing my Central Saanich Uniform [was] something I never imagined and [was] a highlight of my career,” said Sylven in a media release.

Sylven is being recognized for his many contributions in building community engagement and

improving police officer safety and wellness including creating a national officer safety conference and organizing the 2014 B.C. Law Enforcement Memorial.

“I am very humbled and honoured to see my name on this list of outstanding police officers.

I consider myself very lucky to have found a job that I am passionate about and to have worked with such great people in some exceptional communities,” Sylven said.

from my perspective, it was a significant challenge for this application to be successful,” said Bryson.

“I don’t normally weigh in on these things but I was concerned that what has happened would happen, quite frankly. If a person wants to go consult with engineers they will quite happily take your money and they will come up with a plan to accommodate your vision on the property. That’s not the same, in any stretch of the imagination, to meaning that it’s an appropriate land use from a political or OCP land use perspective,” Bryson said.

Bryson moved that the application be denied and that motion was unanimously supported by council after discussion on concerns, which primarily centred around the OCP and the regional growth strategy.

“Moving to build outside of our urban containment boundary just doesn’t make sense to me right now,” said Councillor Cathie Ounsted.

Bill Kennedy, a Central Saanich resident who uses the park at least twice a week, said he was relieved the application didn’t go through.

“It’s such a pristine beach, people go there for a specific reason. I spent days talking with people about the rezoning application and I didn’t meet one person who supported the idea. It’s such a beautiful area down there and it would be wonderful if it remained like that for at least another 50 years.” reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Composting, not just for the birds

Herberger speaking out after son’s death in 2012 Continued from page 3

“Bereavement isn’t a contagious disease, people shouldn’t be so afraid of it.”

Herberger attends monthly meetings with support groups for parents who lost a child to suicide, but says there aren’t many options for people looking for support.

“The only support group up until about

a year ago was in Nanaimo,” she said.

Because of that, she welcomes anyone who is dealing with the same things to reach out.

“It helps to be around other people who understand what you’re going through,” she said, adding that anyone who is interested in contacting her for information can reach her at renatemermaid@gmail. com. For now, Herberger said, she copes

with her loss by remembering Silvan at his best.

“I try to remember him dancing and singing, all the happy times we spent together. When I swim, I swim for him. He will always be in my heart.”

Herberger, who has swam 6,688 kilometres already, sets out on her next swim in October. Her progress can be followed at costaricamermaid.net.

OUR VIEW

Ask about amalgamation

A

malgamation — or at least a question about how it might look — should be on the ballot in all Saanich Peninsula municipalities during the November municipal election.

Already the council of the District of Central Saanich has voted to include a question on their Nov. 15 ballots. It will ask electors if they want the municipality to petition the province for a study on the feasibility of amalgamating with the District of North Saanich and the Town of Sidney, essentially forming a single, larger municipal entity.

If nothing else, it The question will be nonwill give them some binding, direction from their meaning that a new council electorate elected that day may wish to put aside the opinion question. Or, it may wish to act on it, should the result weigh heavily in the direction of the positive. It’s a safe stance to take as it won’t tie the hands of new councillors and those who are re-elected.

That sort of wiggle room shouldn’t be a surprise, given mixed reviews on amalgamation throughout Greater Victoria.

The Town of Sidney, in the meantime, considered the amalgamation question Monday night. A Town staff report recommended adding a similar question to Central Saanich’s on the Town’s own ballots. Councillors should not reject it out of hand, but instead seek some clarity from voters.

One council could be a holdout, however.

The District of North Saanich’s mayor earlier this year, when the amalgamation issue was more front-and-centre, stated they would not ask the question, since their residents haven’t been asking for one. While a little softer in their stance towards the idea, North Saanich councillors also have not pushed for a ballot question.

Loathe as they may be to do so, North Saanich should join with their neighbours and ask the question. If nothing else, it will give them and future councils some direction from their electorate.

of 1970s-style industrial labour strife, the B.C. public school curriculum is being refashioned for this new age.

Among its goals is to “allow teachers and students the flexibility to personalize their learning experience to better meet each student’s individual strengths and needs.”

One of B.C.’s early models for selfdirected learning is Thomas Haney secondary in Maple Ridge, where senior high students are expected to make their own way through course work, learning to manage their own time.

It was here that the first couple of Grade 12 students showed up last week to begin making up for lost time from the strike that set in last spring. Self-directed study has become a crash course.

Private schools are also swamped with applications from Grade 12 students looking for particular courses they will need by next year.

In the short term, Fassbender says the lost strike days will likely have to be restored to the school schedule.

“Do you put it on at the end of the year? Do you take it out of spring break? Do you take it out of Christmas holidays? My staff are looking at all of the options,” Fassbender said.

In the longer term, the whole factory model of school is on the way out.

Fall fair at St. Paul’s United on Sept. 20 Second annual event promises to be full of fun for everyone Devon MacKenzie News staff

The Second Annual Fall Fair at St. Paul’s United Church in Sidney is set for next weekend.

The event, which replaced the church’s boot sale for the first time last year, will be filled with lots of fun, treats and deals for all, said one of the event’s organizers, Judy Bicknell.

The idea for the fall fair, Bicknell explained, came from the church wanting to do more for and with the commu-

nity.

“We had the boot sale every year but we wanted to do something more ambitious that involved more of the community,” she said.

“Last year the fair was very successful and were able to raise a lot for Our Place, the Sidney Lions Food Bank, the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation and our world relief foundations,” added St. Paul’s Office Administrator, Karen Booth.

This year, the fair will feature baking, home

In addition, there will be lots of activities for children (provided

by Sidney Co-op Preschool) and the church volunteers will be serving lunch — chili or soup with fresh buns as well as home made pie, ice cream, coffee and tea.

“There will be something for everyone,” Bicknell said of the event.

The Fall Fair will also feature a silent auction, with half the proceeds going to the Sidney Lions Food Bank.

HEALTHY LIFESTYLES

Pickleball: There’s a new game in town Move over tennis, pickleball is taking over Andrea Peacock News staff

The court is smaller, there’s a paddle rather than a racket and a wiffle ball as opposed to

a tennis ball, but many are calling this sport the new tennis.

Pickleball is played on a badminton-sized court, and is a combination of tennis and ping pong. It was invented in 1965 on Bainbridge Island, near Seattle, with the purpose of creating a game the whole family could play together.

Our Vitamins & More Department offers a wide selection of vitamins and minerals, herbal remedies, teas, natural body

Originally made of wood, pickleball paddles are now made of lightweight composite materials.

North Saanich resident Brenda Hardy and her husband first started playing pickleball when they were in Palm Springs this past winter.

“We decided to try it, and it’s probably the best thing we did in terms of activity and exercise,” said Hardy, 63.

Neither Hardy nor her husband played tennis prior to taking up pickleball but she said it was still easy to get used to, despite tennis players having some advantage at first.

Although similar, there are differences in the rules. In pickleball, the ball must bounce once on each side of the court before volleys are allowed. Points can only be scored on

the serve. The receiving side cannot score points and service is lost by losing a rally.

“It’s not difficult to learn or play,” said Hardy. “When we started playing in Palm Springs, the best player was 84 years old.”

On the Saanich Peninsula, there are two public places to play pickleball, both of which are run by Panorama Rec. Centre. One is at North Saanich Middle School on Thursday evenings from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. and the other at Greenglade Centre

on Mondays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Hardy said she would like so see more but said it has been difficult getting municipalities on board.

Hardy requested Central Saanich paint one tennis court with pickleball lines. In June, council agreed to add those lines on an existing multi-use court in Centennial Park.

“But you have to bring your own nets,” said Hardy, adding the court will be shared.

A subsequent motion was also made to paint lines on the tennis court in Saanichton Green Park but consideration of that was deferred for six months, said Central Saanich mayor Alastair Bryson.

“The new multi-use court will be an excellent venue for enthusiasts to play and showcase the sport to others who may be interested,” said Bryson.

“As participation and awareness increases, staff will monitor demand for court time and make future recommendations to council as necessary.”

Since coming back from Palm Springs in April, Hardy has been playing pickleball at Greenglade Centre.

“It’s a really good bunch of people, all interested in being active,” said Hardy, adding her favourite part of pickle ball is just playing a good game. editor@peninsula newsreview.com

Peninsula Academy of Music Arts kicks off fall season with new programming Devon MacKenzie News staff

Fall is in the air and music classes have begun at the Peninsula Academy of Music Arts (PAMA) on Mills Road.

“Children who love to sing now have the opportunity to join one of two children’s choirs starting this month for ages 8 to 11 and 12 to 16,” explained Diana English of PAMA.

Shill holds a Masters in Vocal Performance and

has a background in dance, acting, musical theatre and opera.

English also added that programming at PAMA this fall isn’t just for kids — the Ukulele Orchestra for Adult Beginners starts this week as well.

“No music experience is necessary for these classes, only enthusiasm and a ukulele,” she said.

The choir classes run Thursday afternoons and the Ukelele Orchestra classes run Saturday afternoons and Monday afternoons and evenings. For a full schedule see peninsulaacademy.com or call 778-4261800.

Panthers prepare for Cougars Devon MacKenzie News staff

The Peninsula Panthers lost their home opener this past Friday night to the Westshore Wolves, 8-2.

The Panthers, a young new team, were down 4-0 after the first frame but seemed to gather their footing in the second period.

Although the team trailed 7-1 after the second, they actually outshot the Westshore Wolves 11-7 and 9-5 in the second and third periods.

Veteran Rylan Ball scored both markers for the Panthers while Kyle Richter paced the Wolves with two goals. Six other Wolves

Athletes shine at Pen Track Awards Danny Daniels Contributor

When it comes to outstanding track and field performances, age is not a factor. At the Peninsula Track and Field Club’s season-ending barbecue this past weekend on Sept. 6, the 2014 Inspirational Athlete Trophy was awarded jointly to 12-year-old Conor Loughnane and W50 Masters athlete Anne Murfitt, both of whom had stand-out seasons.

Loughnane, who was accorded four Gold Standard achievement badges by B.C. Athletics in the 100m, 200m, 300m and Shot Put events, consistently mounted the top of the podium in every Island meet this summer. Murfitt, looking forward to competing in the B.C. Seniors Games for the first time later this month, won five Canadian Masters Championship gold medals in Saskatchewan earlier in the summer and more

gold in the Washington State Seniors Games in August.

The Outstanding Novice Award went to nine-year-old Adrianna Hilton, who not only won six events the first time she competed in a track meet, but continued to have multiple victories throughout the season.

B.C. Summer Games competitors Ben Sammons and Brennan Hopkins shared the Fiona Clark Male Athlete Award, while fellow Summer Gamer Finn Battersby was recognized as Runner of the Year.

Alexis Van Den Bulk received the Fiona Clark Female Trophy, while the Eleanor Richardson Trophy garnered two recipients, Michael Johnson and Julia Petersen.

Others sharing awards were Alyssa Jensen, 12, and M75 Les East as Jumpers of the Year and Peggy Morfitt and Peter Auvinen as Throwers of the Year. The Masters Trophy was won by Mette Fossberg.

NEWS REVIEW

Sidney fire department to unveil memorial cairn SIDNEY — On Thursday, September 11 at 11 a.m., the Sidney Volunteer Fire Department will unveil a memorial cairn that has been constructed to honour the 100th anniversary of the Sidney Volunteer Fire Department.

The unveiling will take place at the cairn which is located on the west side of the Fire Hall on Third Street.

“The existing cairn and Life Member plaque have run out of space for additional names,” Fire Chief Jim Tweedhope stated. “As a result, it was felt that a new plaque and cairn with room for extra nameplates could be constructed to honour the 100th anniversary as well as our Life Members.”

The stone cairn is constructed of salt and pepper granite and was built

by DDM Stonework Ltd. of Central Saanich. It currently contains the names of 39 Life Members with room for 41 more. This includes the oldest living member, 91 year old Ted Clarke who was Sidney’s Manager, then Director of Public Works. His firefighting career spanned 24 years from 1948 to 1972.

The earliest Life Members included on the cairn are Art Gardner, Bob Dr. Adrian M. Russell is pleased to announce the...

The unveiling will include a brief address by Councillor Kenny Podmore who was the Council Liaison for the Town on the 100th Anniversary Committee, Mayor Larry Cross and Fire Chief, Jim Tweedhope. The Fire Department’s Honour Guard will also be in attendance.

Following the unveiling, coffee will be served. The public is welcome to attend and show their support for Sidney’s Fire Fighters.
