The flying chef

Chef Ken Harper, a culinary instructor at Vancouver Island University, takes the AdrenaLINE zip line across Madrona Farm’s fields during the seventh annual Chef Survival Challenge on Sunday. The event attracted more than 500 people as local chefs faced off in a culinary challenge benefiting the Big Dream Farm Society, which aims to spread the model of National Trust ownership of farmland and sustainable leasing opportunities for farmers.

Arbitration bid an‘empty effort:’ Fassbender Black Press

Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the B.C. Teachers Federation’s call for binding arbitration to end the teachers strike is simply an “empty effort to give parents and teachers

false hope that there is a simple way to resolve the dispute.”

Fassbender made the remarks after BCTF president Jim Iker held a press conference to propose arbitration last Friday.

“The BCTF leadership is trying to avoid having the tough conversation with their mem-

bers about what is realistic and achievable at the bargaining table,” Fassbender said.

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.”

Iker said the province’s

attempt to bargain their way out of their two court losses has been the biggest obstacle to a settlement. The last use of binding arbitration in 2001 led to a surprise $400-million increase in fees for B.C. doctors and 0.5 per cent rise in provincial sales tax.

Barking back at transit Daphne Taylor is a Raging Granny with a bone to pick at B.C. Transit.

Over the past six months, Taylor and her colleague Fran Thoburn have collected hundreds of signatures on a petition to relax dog ridership rules on public buses.

“We both have dogs, and we don’t want to use our cars all the time,” said Taylor, holding her 12-year-old mixed terrier, Toby.

Both Taylor and Thoburn are members of Victoria Raging Grannies, a social justice activist organization.

“We did some research and discovered there are several cities, including Calgary, Toronto and Seattle, and many countries in Europe that allow dogs on buses,” Taylor said.

B.C. Transit’s current dog policy allows only “small fur-bearing or feathered pets contained in secure, clean, hand-held cages” on buses.

Those cages must be small enough to fit on the owner’s lap, a restriction that forces many seniors and owners of larger dogs to drive their cars instead, Taylor said.

Heavy rains Sept.

Saanich South MLA Lana Popham stands with Syntal Products owner Brian Burchill at his Keating area recycling plant. Burchill was forced to close his business earlier this month due to restrictions brought on from the Multi-Material B.C. recycling stewardship program.

Keating recycler shut out by B.C. program News staff

Local business Syntal Products has closed its doors only months after the introduction of a controversial province-wide recycling stewardship program.

The 16-year-old business, located on Keating X Road, accepted thousands of tons of used residential plastic from around the Capital Region and used an environmentally friendly process to convert the scrap plastics into all-plastic lumber.

“Early in July, we began informing people we would be closing and told them to stop bringing their plastics to us,” said owner Brian Burchill.

“As of Aug. 15, the last of the employees were laid off and we closed our doors for good.”

The closure, Burchill said, was due to the fact that the province’s new Multi-Material B.C. program started diverting about 60 per cent of the plastics com-

responsibility and I thought, ‘Great, if the manufacturer has to step up and deal with the end of life of these products, they’ll build them out of better plastics.’ But as time went on, I started getting different impressions of what was coming.”

After a lot of research and inquiry, Burchill discovered his company was categorized as a processor of scrap plastics, and MMBC catered to collectors.

“My hands were tied,” he said.

Burchill, who met with Saanich South MLA Lana Popham last month to discuss the closure of his business, calls the MMBC program a legislated monopoly.

Popham agreed.

“The B.C. Liberals are killing small businesses in the recycling sector by gifting a monopoly over residential recycling to a handful of mega-corporations,” she said.

“MMBC is demanding that all materials collected are siphoned off to specific big businesses it selects. That is why smaller operations like Syntal are being shut down and why small businesses across the whole sector are very concerned about being pushed under.”

As a Saanich resident you may be eligible to be registered if you meet the following requirements: •18 years of age or older on general voting day (November 15, 2014); •Canadian citizen; •resident of British Columbia for at least six months before the day you register; •resident of Saanich for at least 30 days before the day you register; and •not disqualified by any enactment from voting or be otherwise disqualified by law.

If you qualify as a resident elector, but your name does not appear on the Provincial Voters List you may register when you vote, at either the Advance Voting or on General Voting Day (November 15, 2014). Resident electors must provide at least two forms of identification to prove their identity, one of which must have the elector’s signature, and the other to show the elector’s address. For acceptable forms of identification visit our website.

Non-Resident Property Electors As a person who is not a resident of Saanich but who has been a registered owner of real property in Saanich for at least 30 days, you may be eligible to register as a property elector. For additional information contact the Legislative Division as indicated above.

LIST OF REGISTERED ELECTORS Beginning September 30, 2014 until the close of general voting for the elections on November 15, 2014, a copy of the list of registered electors will be available for public inspection at the Legislative Division, Saanich Municipal Hall, 770 Vernon Avenue, between the hours of 8:30 am and 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday, excluding statutory holidays. Any person wishing to inspect the list will be required to sign a statement that they will not inspect the list or use the information included in the list except for the purposes of Part 3 of the Local Government Act. An elector may request that their address or other information about them be omitted from or obscured on the list of electors.

OBJECTION TO REGISTRATION OF AN ELECTOR An objection to the registration of a person whose name appears on the list of registered electors may be made in writing in accordance with Section 64 of the Local Government Act before 4:00 pm, October 10, 2014.

An objection may only be made by a person entitled to be registered as an elector of the District of Saanich and can only be made on the basis that the person whose name appears has died or is not qualified to be registered as an elector in Saanich.

ing into Syntal to other recycling companies.

MMBC is a residential recycling program that came into effect this spring through regulatory changes at the Ministry of Environment.

Under its stewardship plan, MMBC is expected to ensure approximately 75 per cent of residential recyclables in B.C. are recycled within three years.

The cost of this service has been shifted from municipalities onto business, although critics like the Canadian Federation of Business argue the change amounts to an indirect tax on business, which is then passed on to consumers to cover those costs.

“Because about 60 per cent of the material I normally would have brought in was gone, there was no way I could find enough of the right types of plastics to make up the difference,” Burchill said.

“The company was no longer viable and I sold our assets to a recycling operation in Winnipeg.”

Burchill said he was initially optimistic about the MMBC program.

Local teens boosted by scholarship funds Two Saanich teens are receiving scholarship funding for very different ventures.

Ashley Stocks received $1,500 from the Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C. for her work protecting fish habitats. She plans to complete a diploma in fisheries and aquaculture at Vancouver Island University and move on to contribute to the understanding of fish vitality and fisheries resource management.

A community-minded Reynolds Secondary school grad was also honoured a $2,000 scholarship from LifeLabs to pursue her post-secondary education.

Kirsten Saikaly was recognized for

her grades, leadership, extracurricular activities with the scholarship.

Saikaly is a theatre lover, athlete and philanthropist. She’s staged theatre performances in and outside of school, captained Reynolds’ basketball team while also playing soccer and softball, and contributed to various volunteer efforts including the Children’s Hospital Foundation and the Canadian Cancer Society’s Cops for Cancer.

“I’ve had my goal of attending university in mind with every decision I’ve made,” Saikaly said. “It’s exciting to be moving on to this part of my studies.” editor@saanichnews.com

OUR VIEW

Civic elections need diversity Civic candidates are coming forward for our consideration.

In some ways, the race is already on, leading up to the municipal election Nov. 15.

On that date, Saanich residents will be entrusted to elect a mayor, councillors and school trustees who will represent us for the next four years.

Some people have indicated their intentions, but many candidates have yet to go public.

Candidates can’t formally declare until the end of the month: Sept. 30 at 9 a.m.; and they have another 10 days after that (Oct. 10) before the deadline for nomination packages.

But during that period, we hope to see not only strong candidates emerge but those who represent varied demographics, sexual orientation, social and political leanings and ethnic backgrounds.

At the moment, four of Saanich’s nine council members are women, and all councillors are visible majorities (excuse the term). Seven of the nine positions on the Greater Victoria school district are occupied by women.

Of course, oversimplified categorization is hardly the best path to understanding. Once voters have determined a candidate’s broad appeal, they’ll look for examples of compromise and co-operation, character, priorities and promises, strength and smarts, motivation and follow-through.

We can only hope that this fall, voters will have the chance to choose from a diverse range of candidates that truly reflect our community.

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 self-directed 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.

Mental health needs attention Re: Stigma remains in mental health (News, Aug. 29) Thank you to Saanich News for a brilliant editorial on the stigma about mental illness. Why is it that major advances in psychiatry and the understanding of mental illness over the past century have hardly made a dent in that intractable stigma?

As always, the answers lie in the ‘big picture’ and who stands to benefit from an unchallenged stigma. In the case of mental illness, there are large vested financial interests by powerful groups in keeping that stigma alive and well.

For all-powerful global pharmaceutical companies, the stigma about mental illness is money in the bank. It is in their

best interests to perpetuate the myths and stereotypes; staying discouraged and hopeless keeps people sick and desperate for any relief in a bottle.

There is no incentive for drug companies to dispute the stigma.

Every day we are inundated with ads by drug companies showing distraught powerless people battling unsuccessfully with mental illness but we never see the reality – brave good people surviving an uphill battle with strength and courage.

Our governments also have a huge stake in perpetuating the stigma about mental illness.

As long as public perceptions about the mentally ill are negative, unsympathetic and derogatory, our

political leaders can keep mental health funding dollars at the barest minimum with impunity.

That is why you will never hear the BC Liberals taking a stand against the stigma that wreaks destruction in the lives of millions of afflicted citizens every day.

So how do we strike the fatal blow to the stigma about mental illness?In my view, it all comes down to educating ourselves and talking openly with our friends, co-workers and families about mental illness until the shame is gone.

The stigma cannot survive in the light of awareness and against the formidable power of knowledge.

Municipal race one to watch It will be an interesting Municipal election in November.

In Saanich, new candidates with excellent credentials are lining up for the Mayor and Council positions. They are well educated.

They volunteer, attend public meetings, listen and add their input. If elected, the new public servants will bring their expertise from software Engineering, Chemistry and

intelligent information using the newest technology to the Council Chambers.

It will be refreshing to see something get done.

There will be a reduction of expensive studies to postpone decisions with less reliance on staff to make their decisions. For example: The latest CRD sewage study will cost the taxpayer another $210,000 to find other locations for sewage

treatment facilities. Victoria, Saanich and Oak Bay have to find a solutions in their own backyard.

What have they been doing for the past seven years and spending almost sixty million dollars?

Frank Leonard says he knows what is best for Saanich.

If he believes in democracy he will have the courage to put the Amalgamation

Question on the November ballot.

If the answer is NO to Amalgamation, perhaps there can be a more cooperative Capital Regional District where each Municipality might have just one vote.

Let democracy rule. It is the informed voter who will decide what is best for Saanich.

Daphne Taylor and her mixed terrior Toby have already collected about 650 signatures to convince B.C. Transit to relax its dog ridership rules and allow dogs onboard with muzzles rather than in kennels.

WHY WAIT? WE CAN HELP NOW! Home & Hospital Visits Happiness is a beautiful smile!

Dog petition gains traction Continued from Page A1

Seattle allows small dogs to ride with owners for free, but drivers charge a base fare for larger dogs.

The Toronto Transit Commission allows leashed dogs on buses and subways, but only during off-peak hours.

Calgary has no restrictions on ridership times as long as the dog remains on-leash.

So far, Taylor and Thoburn have collected more than 650 names on the petition ahead of their Sept.

16 presentation to the Victoria Regional Transit Commission. They would like to see dogs allowed on buses with a muzzle and leash.

“We’ve been canvassing our own neighbourhoods as well as pet shops, and we’ve been amazed at the support,” Taylor says.

Coming up at the Royal BC Museum, next year’s blockbuster exhibition, Gold Rush!: El Dorado in BC, opening May 13 explores how the gold rushes of the late 1800s forever changed B.C.’s political, geographical and social landscape.

Composer Jared Richardson is hoping to make a very special music album.

Draped in a background of stainedglass filtered light from the Gordon Head United Church, Dale Rasmussen plays the keys of a baby grand piano.

First a regular chord progression, then one “spiced” with minor keys, as he explains the transformation of an old standard to a “new standard.”

Rasmussen is leading a newly organized regional choir that is yet to take an official name, but is already rehearsing jazz, contemporary and standards on Monday nights at the church.

“We have a group going and we’re still taking auditions,” Rasmussen says.

“It will be 25 to 40 people, which will also break into smaller ensembles and soloists.”

Leading a choir is Rasmussen’s passion.

He has led similar choirs for 13 years now, most recently a six year stint with the High Country Singers in Kamloops. Prior to that Rasmussen lead four choirs in Vancouver. He relocated to the Mount Douglas area recently with his partner and is eagerly joining the many successful choirs of Greater Victoria.

“It’s been the better part of a year and I’m still learning about the diversity of the great music scene here,” Rasmussen said. “I’ve seen a lot of great choirs in town.”

A former jazz student of Capilano College and longtime gig musician, Rasmussen has been in love with harmony singing since childhood. His choir combines jazz and harmony with a high energy feel, providing many opportunities for singers to express themselves.

“For me, I want to lead a choir that uses the Great American Songbook but does it with soul, or use soulful standards we know from artists such as Ray Charles, Leonard Cohen or U2,” he says.

“I don’t want to say we’re this or that, I

Rasmussen leads

one other choir, as he makes twice-monthly visits to Mayne Island.

That group, though full of talented and fun singers, is an open group, he says.

Here in Saanich, auditions for ”reasonably experienced” singers are welcome for September.

Rasmussen will

Rowing Canada

Lindsay Jennerich and Patricia Obee celebrate their silver medal win at the World Rowing Championships in Amsterdam, Holland on Aug. 30.

Elk Lake duo back among world’s best Travis Paterson News staff

After a year away from rowing following the 2012 London Olympics, Saanich’s Lindsay Jennerich has returned to the upper echelon of her sport.

Her efforts paid off last week when she and Patricia Obee powered their lightweight double scull to silver at the World Rowing Championships in Amsterdam, Holland.

It’s their second silver medal at the World Rowing Championships, the first coming in 2011.

“I think (this) silver medal shows Patricia and I that when we are healthy and injury free, we are within the top doubles in the world and we can be fast even when we don’t train together all year, so when we do it will be even better,” Jennerich said.

Jennerich, 32, is a former UVic Vike and Claremont secondary grad who was part of the promising Canadian boat with Tracy Cameron that won gold at a 2011 world cup series event.

When Cameron was forced to

pull out during the 2011 season, Rowing Canada swapped in upand-coming 18-year-old Obee (now 22) of North Saanich. It was a happy surprise when Jennerich and temporary teammate Obee won that year’s world championship silver.

When Jennerich and Obee were reunited for the 2012 London Games, they failed to compete for an Olympic medal, unable to advance to the final heat.

Since then, Obee has been competing for the University of Washington Huskies and as an under-23 athlete for Rowing Canada.

In 2013, Jennerich returned to training at the Elk Lake with Row to Podium, a group of Rowing Canada development athletes lead by Barney Williams, former national team rower and Vikes assistant coach.

“Very soon into my time off, I was getting the itch to come back,” Jennerich said. “I think an athlete should never retire when they feel that the best of themselves has not been revealed. I felt I could still be faster than I

was in London.”

And with the silver in Amsterdam, Jennerich and Obee are creating a second chance for Olympic success at the 2016 Rio de Janerio Games.

“Getting back on the podium after taking a year off from training was very rewarding,” Jennerich said.

There’s a chance that Jennerich and Obee can train at Elk Lake this fall, the only women’s team do so. Canada’s men’s program is based at Elk Lake, but the women are based in London, Ont. Jennerich expects Rowing Canada request she report to London for the winter months.

With Obee in her senior year with the Huskies, staying at Elk Lake would allow Jennerich and Obee to train together on weekends.

“Obee and I nearly set a world’s best time in Amsterdam, so I believe we are on track to do some pretty amazing things together,” Jennerich said. “That’s what I want to leave rowing with, is the knowledge that I was the best that I could ever be.”

Cedar Hill tournament winner leads Chargers Camosun College men’s team swing into season in Surrey Travis Paterson News staff

The Collegiate golf season started this weekend as the Camosun Chargers men’s team competed at Northview Golf and Country Club in Surrey over the weekend.

The Chargers’ finished second amongst the men’s teams at the Kwantlen University-hosted tournament with a combined score of 577, 13 strokes back of first place Fraser Valley Cascades.

Third-year Chargers Brady Stead (Vernon) and Grant Maskiewich (Smithers) led their team, tying for fourth overall at

143, eight strokes back of winner Connor O’Dell (FVC).

This season should be a strong one for the Chargers, third at last year’s Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) National Golf Championship, says coach John Randle.

“We have all five guys returning from our top-three nationally ranked team from last fall so if the guys play up to their potential, we will do just fine,” Randle said. “Like I always say, we look good on paper and I’m looking forward to see how we do on grass.”

The five returnees are joined by newcomer Scott Merriam

Old rubber, new track for PISE It’s been six years since shovels first broke ground for the Pacific Institute of Sports Excellence.

At the time of the mega facility’s construction a running track was said to be coming soon after.

The four-lane, 400-metre track using recycled rubber.

Delayed until 2014, the track is currently being installed, made with recycled tire rubber from the Tire Stewardship BC organization and its Community Grant Program, which announced a $100,000 grant to PISE on Sept. 4. The Government of BC and PacificSport Victoria also contributed to the track’s costs.

Construction started ceremoniously during PISE’s 20th anniversary celebration of the 1994 Victoria Commonwealth Games on Aug. 23.

The new track will allow for increased training options for athletes and community members of all abilities, while showcasing PISE’s commitment to sustainability through their use of rubber made from recycled tires collected from across the province.

Tire Stewardship BC supplies grants to resurface playgrounds, sidewalks and trails, outdoor fitness parks, water parks, athletic tracks, and synthetic turf fields.

The Community Grant program is accepting applications until Dec. 31, dependent on funds.

from Cranbrook. Merriam clinched his spot on the roster after a strong showing during recent tryouts at the team’s home course of Bear Mountain Resort and Golf club.

Jarred Callbeck leads the team, having won multiple 2013 awards including his second consecutive CCAA All-Canadian, CCAA Academic All-Canadian and PACWEST First Team AllStar awards. In May, Callbeck won the 51st annual Cedar Hill Open Men’s Golf Tournament.

This weekend play returns to the Island as Vancouver Island University is set to host.
