Jass Jackson-Puff, project manager for Ramsay Machine Works in Sidney, stands with the company’s latest work, a coke rotor for British Petroleum in Washington State. The device acts as a cooling mechanism in the coal refining process.

The latest work of art from Ramsay Machine Works will soon be on its way to Washington State.

The company recently completed its latest project — a coke rotor for British Petroleum. Grant Ramsey, vice-president, says the device was built in Sidney and will act as a cooling mechanism in the coal refining process. The coke produced by BP — and cooled by Ramsay’s rotor — will then be shipped to Japan’s steel manufacturing industry.

“It’s almost like art,” Ramsay said, “but it’s all made of steel.”

Project manager Jass Jackson-Puff says the unit is designed to withstand extreme temperatures as molten coke pours in at one end and then runs through cool water.

He said Ramsay has been recognized as the best manufacturer of these units in the world for their longevity and quality.

The last time they built a series of coke rotors was approximately 10 years ago, he said.

Ramsay Machine Works, located in the West Sidney industrial area, is known for producing some interesting metal projects — including a very large coal conveyor that had to be shipped by barge out of Patricia Bay in three pieces.

Most recently, they completed a series of UFO-like grain hoppers. Down the road, Ramsay said, the company will be working on a contract for 13 towers, which also promise to be visually striking.

Ramsay added it’s through the support of the community that they are able to take on these projects — especially the Victoria Airport Authority.

To get the largest materials to Patricia Bay for transport, Ramsay must use the airport runway with permission and coordination from the VAA. “There’s some neat stuff being done in Sidney,” Ramsay said, “and it’s being sent out all over the world.” editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

“Like anyone else, and like the men, they wanted to serve. And being nurses so close the the battlefield was the only way they could do their bit.”

Victoria historian Yvonne Van Ruskenveld explained the motivation of young women in 1914 in joining the war effort as Britain called upon nurses to serve near the front during the First World War. Van Ruskenveld, a member of the Old Cemeteries Society in Victoria, recently gave a presentation on the city’s battlefield nurses during the Great War to members of the Saanich Peninsula branch of the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW). Each October, she holds a women’s history tour in the Ross Bay Cemetery and a few years ago came across the names of two Canadian Nursing Sisters. The Nursing Sisters as an organization, first appeared in 1885, according to Veterans Affairs Canada, caring for soldiers sent to quell the North-West Rebellion. From that time, the Nursing Sisters joined every Canadian military force up to the Korean War. These days, nurses in the Canadian Forces no longer go by the term. They were known as the Nursing Sisters due in part to the religious background of wartime nursing, and the style of headgear they wore that resembled the habit of nuns.

During the First World War, Van Ruskenveld said there were more than 3,000 Nursing Sisters — the only women to be official members of the armed forces of Canada at that time.

One of those nurses from Victoria, Meta Hodge, won the Military Medal and is buried at Ross Bay. Van Ruskenveld became interested in those women, including Ethel Morrison, and the Nursing Sisters organization and sought to learn more.

At the time, when Britain called its men to war in Europe, the military saw a need for nurses and organized a series of general hospitals in

When the surviving nurses returned home, many continued their work and began the transition to civilian life. Their lives are now a part of history, something that Van Ruskenveld hopes to share with other people and let them know what these women did in a time when the role of women in Canadian society was not as encompassing as it is today.

“I want people to know how brave these women were and how much they accomplished and how respected they were.”

In Ottawa at the Parliament Buildings, there is a memorial to the Nursing Sisters and the image of a nurse can be found on the veterans memorial statue nearby.

Van Ruskenveld said the work they did earned the respect of the people with whom they served.

Hartshorne returns to take a shot at mayor’s chair Former North Saanich councillor Dorothy Hartshorne running for mayor Steven Heywood News staff

Dorothy Hartshorne is banking on her experience as a North Saanich municipal councillor and assistant to a provincial MLA to help propel her into the mayor’s seat in the district this fall.

Hartshorne has announced her bid for the position in this November’s civic election on Nov. 15. She takes on incumbent mayor Alice Finall who held onto the job three years ago by acclamation and is in her second term of office.

Hartshorne spent two terms as a councillor in North Saanich from 1999 to 2005.

“I had been on the community’s environmental advisory committee (in 1999) and I was just interested,” she recalls. “(Council) are the people who set policy, set the direction for the municipality.”

Paired with her longtime volunteer work within the community, Hartshorne was elected twice and said she was energized by her work on council.

“The staff at the district were amazing to work with,” she said, adding one of the accomplishments she is most proud of during her time on council was the municipality’s work in helping create the Mary Winspear Centre.

However, in 2005 she

Dorothy Hartshorne is hoping to return to North Saanich district council in the fall, this time as mayor. and her husband Dan sold their family business and moved to B.C.’s Cariboo region.

She said it was a longterm dream of theirs to build a log house on a lake somewhere in the interior. Yet, Dan is a native of the Saanich Peninsula and Dorothy came to North Saanich in 1969 – the area was still in their blood, she said.

“We really missed North Saanich and during a visit back here, I realized that this is home.”

The couple, whose two children are grown, moved back to the community in May and Hartshorne said she was asked almost right

away if she would find her way back on council. She added she knew that when she got back to North Saanich, she would run for council again but she said she found people suggesting she run for mayor.

Hartshorne said she will approach the work from a collaborative position.

“I believe in lifting people up, supporting them and making the organization more effective.”

Hartshorne is aware of the animosity between councillors during the last three year term and would like to see that come to an end during her tenure as mayor, if elected.

She said that after Nov. 15 she hopes there will be a clean slate – no matter who is elected. “(If I am mayor) I will work to keep past issues and conflicts between individuals out of the room,” she said.

Asked about the incidents of councillors leaving meetings due to frustration or disagreements, Hartshorne said she knows all about that – having done it herself during her time on council, but only once, she said.

“That will always be up to individual councillors,” she said. “But if they do, they will miss what goes on in the room.”

Assume a Membership and SAVE*

It has been the debate over housing, affordable and otherwise, that has plagued the council this past term and Hartshorne said there needs to be a full, efficient official community plan review to set the direction for council over the next four years. She added she feels council has gone in the right direction on housing, but they need to move ahead with better policy decisions and not create development zones on an ad-hoc basis.

“We need to step back and look at the whole. Enough has been done at this point.

Now we need to ask the

community in an OCP review.”

Hartshorne said she doesn’t think she’s proor-anti-development, but wants to make a plan for North Saanich in this area.

“It’s a challenge but I feel capable of working with it.”

On the amalgamation issue, Hartshorne said she feels North Saanich should ask its residents about it.

“I’m in favour of finding out what people want – I’m not for it, or against it – it’s just really important to listen to what people want.”

She added her guess is that North Saanich wouldn’t want to pur-

sue amalgamation, but admitted it’s a guess only.

“But do you want a council that guesses, or one that knows?”

Hartshorne, while in the interior, worked as an assistant to MLA Donna Barnett and said she learned the ins and outs of provincial government. She said it’s important a mayor knows who to talk to and how the provincial process works, in order to get the things the community might need.

It’s this combination of skills and experience that Hartshorne is hoping to turn into electoral success on Nov. 15.

OUR VIEW

Kids deserve much better The kids are back in school.

Getting them there, along with their teachers, wasn’t easy.

But the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the government deserve some credit for finally getting down to brass tacks after too many false starts in the past several months.

The agreement will not resolve the court cases over the 2002 contract stripping by the B.C. Liberal government, which was the underlying issue that kept the two sides far apart.

That matter will go to the B.C. Court of Appeal this month, after two B.C. Supreme Court judgments that went against the provincial government.

Hopefully, that matter will be settled sooner rather than later. But the glacial pace of court proceedings and the likelihood that the Court of Appeal decision will be appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada, means a final resolution on class size and composition in B.C. schools is likely still years away.

From the beginning, this strike was all about the students, and the quality of their education in our public school system, according to both the teachers and government.

If that’s truly the case, robbing students of education through strikes and lockouts is something neither the province nor the BCTF should be proud of.

In the long term, we need a solution to terminate the seemingly endless labour disputes between the province and the BCTF. Students looking forward to graduating this year, after 12 years in the system, have never known an educational environment free from labour strife.

Given how this dispute unfolded, most parents will now look to teachers and the provincial government to live up to prove the integrity of their fight for the quality of their children’s education.

To that extent I suppose out campaign funds accordingly. a municipal auditor might be able Sometimes they organize full to comment on the advantages of slates, with cuddly names like

NDP leader John Horgan’s attack on the compensation report was as predictable as it was selective.

In his speech to delegates, Horgan called it “one-sided, politically motivated, shoddy work” designed to embarrass local politicians on the eve of their elections.

Did he question Ernst and Young’s numbers, the pay increases for municipal union staff of 38 per cent between 2001 and 2012, compared to 19 per cent for unionized provincial staff? Did he question their calculation that over that period, inflation totalled 23 per cent? No. The facts being against him, he went with an emotional pitch to distract from them.

Recall that during the final days of the teachers’ strike, Horgan suddenly decided that what was really needed was binding arbitration. This was 24 hours after the teachers’ union took that position.

So there’s the big question to be considered by voters as local elections draw near.

Which candidates are looking out for your interests, and which ones are working on behalf of CUPE? There’s another troubling trend in manipulation of local government that was more evident than ever at the 2014 UBCM convention.

I’ll discuss that in a future column.

LETTERS Densification failure in Saanichton and Brentwood Bay

A

number of years ago, Central Saanich council decided that densification was required in Brentwood Bay and Saanichton. Reasons for this decision were never made clear, although there were some generic statements about affordable housing, local businesses and transportation.

A consulting firm was hired, not to determine the why of densification, but the how, in spite of strong push-back by citizens who felt that the why should be addressed prior to the how. Overall citizens were ignored once again, and the how was addressed, but the why was largely ignored by the study.

The why is difficult to understand, especially seeing that to date, densification has created a fair number of long term vacancies in both retail spaces and apartment units, as well as slow sales of adjacent proper-

ties.

Presently densification is not properly addressed by Central Saanich zoning bylaws, but has been addressed through spot zoning, in some cases with variances, which go against the very spirit of the zoning bylaws, and in others through new spot zones, euphemistically called Comprehensive Development zones. Now council is trying to enshrine some spot zones as permanent zones for Brentwood Bay and Saanichton.

The reality is that from almost all perspectives densification has been a dramatic failure in Brentwood Bay. Many years ago my wife and I finally saved enough money to purchase our first home. We could not afford a lot, so we purchased a rather run-down, older house. We replaced the water pipes with copper and the drains with PVC pipes, we added a ground wire and

replaced all of the receptacles.

We took the bathroom down to the studs due to wet walls, and removed the floor to the beams due to rot, and rebuilt the bathroom. We painted all the walls and ceilings, placed new doors on the kitchen cabi-

nets, and lots more. As we did all the labour, the costs were affordable, and we now had a home.

Our experience is not unique, this is how many young couples start out, and there are a number of similar examples from the past in Brentwood Bay, but this is no longer possible.

Now if such a property comes on the market, a developer grabs it. After getting variances and spot zoning approval, the house, often still structurally sound, is destroyed, adding to our landfill problems. In its place, a number of much more expensive houses are built.

This is systematically removing affordable housing from Brentwood Bay. These developments frequently have a “beggar thy neighbour” attitude, resulting in a negative impact of the value and quality of life of adjacent homes through a loss of sunlight and privacy.

In addition, there is a dangerous increase in congestion, because these new houses rarely have adequate parking, resulting in many cars parked on the street. In an environment such as Brentwood Bay, with few sidewalks, the result is that pedestrians and cyclists are forced into the middle of the street to navigate around these parked cars.

All in all, densification has resulted in the destruction of affordable houses as they come on the market, while decreasing the value of homes in their immediate neighbourhood and creating congestion and safety issues, all results contrary to the stated goals of densification.

In fact, to date, it would seem that the only beneficiaries of densification in Brentwood have been developers.

Readers respond: Municipal election ramp-up Lack of meetings concerning There have been a lot of cancellations at Sidney’s town hall lately. One meeting I attended as an invited guest was canceled due to a lack of quorum.

Is this a sign that elections are nearing and incumbents do not want to make publicly known their positions

on controversial subjects in fear of alienating voters?

The old adage “the less said the better” seems to be a popular strategy in this year’s run-up to November elections.

I would be surprised if Sidney councillors look forward to attending town hall meetings. These pre-election gettogethers are often more advantageous for opponents who are

unsaddled with a serving record.

For the incumbents in Sidney, controversial past decisions and actions are big targets and will be difficult for them to deal with. Incumbents seem to be banking on long term memory loss to win the day for them.

In the meantime, the business of government at town hall has come to a near standstill as per-

sonal campaigns begin to gear up.

So far, this month alone there have been two council meetings canceled and a significant drop in the number of committee meetings. In September/October I wouldn’t be surprised to see reports being tabled that seemingly address past issues/criticisms thereby providing a convenient paper defence for those incumbents

In the past, the public gallery at council meetings have sadly witnessed very little debate on agenda items.

If you want to hear where your incumbent and perspective councillors and mayoral candidates personally stand, you owe it to yourself to attend one of the upcoming public forums.

District Of North Saanich NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

Transportation Minister Todd Stone is proposing coastal communities turn over federal gas tax transfers they receive to shore up ferry service and help keep a lid on fares.

The idea is getting a cool reception from mayors and councillors in ferry-dependent areas because it would mean the sacrifice of the federal gasoline tax money they now use to fund local infrastructure.

But Stone argued it would not be unlike the decision of Metro Vancouver cities to dedicate all of their federal gas tax transfers to TransLink for public transit.

“Let’s think outside the box,” Stone said Thursday outside the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. “(Let’s) have a discussion around gas tax as a potential source of revenue for BC Ferries service, which would have the effect of applying downward pressure

co-chair of a UBCM committee on ferry issues, said she doubts Vancouver Island cities would agree to give up gas tax money.

“This gas tax issue is a bit of a red herring,” she said. “This is a provincial transportation system that requires proper funding from the province.”

Moglove said Stone’s reference to the use of the gas tax for transit in Metro Vancouver is “comparing apples and oranges” because taxpayers in all other regions of B.C. pay hospital capital taxes that do not apply in Metro Vancouver.

She said the ferry system has 92 per cent operating cost recovery from fares.

The remaining eight per cent that’s funded by the province – $180 million – is about one third of the $550-million operating budget for the highways system, which Moglove said is generally untolled with no expectation of cost recovery.

Stone has been firm that the province won’t raise taxes to fund BC Ferries and that relief from high fares must come through efficiencies in other financial areas.

The transportation minister has been sparring with Island mayors and councillors since the Sept. 10 release of a UBCM study that concluded rapidly rising ferry fares have driven down ridership and damaged the provincial economy.

on fares.”

Stone said coastal communities get nearly $30 million a year in gas tax transfers, an amount that represents about a sixth of the $180 million a year the province spends to subsidize BC Ferries operations.

He suggested the redeployment of “some if not all” of that $30 million would help meet local demands for basic levels of ferry service.

The proposal would need the support of local communities or else it’s dead in the water, and even then it’s unclear how it might work.

Gas tax transfers are subject to federal rules that allow the money to go only to eligible local capital projects, not to operating expenses or to provincial services.

B.C. cities are lobbying Ottawa to loosen the restrictions on how the money can be spent and Premier Christy Clark said Friday the federal government should “step up” and enable gas taxes as a potential source for the ferry system.

Playing Mother Nature with apple trees

H

ow can this be? I had a fascinating garden column almost finished and bingo, it disappeared.

Probably, because it wasn’t really all that fascinating!

Now I do have something interesting to share with you. One of my valued readers, Ingrid, has sent me a letter asking about apple seeds becoming apple trees and how to go about assisting this to happen.

She will not get an expert’s advice on this, just an ordinary gardener’s idea (mine!)

First you must

choose a variety, and it should NOT be a hybrid (Gala being a hybrid). Yellow Transparent would possibly be a safer choice, and its fruit does make wonderful apple pie!

To get a viable seed, you’ll need to choose a fully ripe apple, probably one that has fallen on the ground, but not a diseased one.

The seeds should be brown, not white. Pick several of the largest and strongest looking seeds and bring them inside to dry in a warm (but not hot) place.

Put the dry seeds in an envelope in the refrigerator for about a

Helen Lang

Over the Garden Fence month (the seeds will hopefully believe they have endured a whole winter.)

At this point, plant several of these seeds in some decent soil, in a pot with drainage holes in the bottom. Keep the soil moist, but not

soaking wet until the seeds sprout. This may take months, but, pretending to be Mother Nature takes patience!

When life appears, save the strongest seedlings, moving each into a separate pot.

It would probably be a good idea to save several sprouts, in case of some disaster (a tipped pot and a dried-out seedling, for example).

When your seedlings have at least four dark green leaves transplant them into larger pots, and keep doing this until you have a piece of ground in which to plant your infant trees (or a large pot and a lot

of soil.)

Possibly in its second year it will bloom, and at that time will need a pollinator. Ask someone (who has the appropriate variety to act as a pollinator) if you can have a flowering small branch from a tree, immediately rush around, brushing your borrowed flowers against your tree’s flowers.

But, for heaven’s sake, before doing anything, find out for sure which variety can serve as a pollinator for your present tree, or you could end up with a whole unwanted apple orchard!)

10th Birthday to remember Hello, my son Dax (the boy on the left) is a fishing fanatic. For his 10th birthday, my wife and I bought him a fullday Sturgeon charter on the Fraser river, as we figured the ‘double digit’ birthday needed to be very special.

He brought along his good friend Niko, and we enjoyed a fantastic day of Sturgeon fishing, catching 7 Sturgeon in total, and losing 3 more. This was the biggest Sturgeon, measuring in at exactly 8 feet in length, and approximately 80 years old! In scanning this fish, our guide discovered that it had never been tagged, so we were also lucky enough to be involved in the process of inserting a tag into this fish before it was released. As our guide told us, we were fortunate to experience an “epic” day of Sturgeon fishing that would be hard to beat!

3 rd Barb Young Danes First Catch Dane Boss, 2 years, fishing with his Papa (Grandpa Gord) Spectacle Lake. You can tell by this face the excitement. I was so excited for him and so happy my dad was the one who helped him do it. Was a special time for both of them.

Crerar, Robert Archibald 1946 - 2014 Crerar, Robert Archibald born on September 25, 1946 was surrounded by family when he journeyed home to his Lord at sunrise September 18, 2014 after a very brave battle with brain cancer. He is survived by his loving wife and soul mate, Suzanne, son Chris (Melody), daughter Bobbi, brother John (Mary), 6 grandchildren and a wee baby great granddaughter. Bob was predeceased by parents Neil and Vi and his brother Ronald. A truck driver for over 50 years he was highly respected by truckers for his work ethic and incredible loyalty. Bob’s spirit of gentleness and generosity touched the lives of many. Our hearts are broken that he has passed from our midst yet filled with the knowledge that we will once again see him.

Many thanks to the staff and volunteers at Saanich Peninsula Hospital for their gentle care and compassion for Bob and all of his family - your names will be forever etched upon our hearts. Thank you too to Rev. Osita, to our parish family of St. Andrew’s, whose prayers and support gave strength and hope to us as we journeyed down this path in which sorrow and heartbreak were unwanted companions. Your names too remain in our hearts.

Bob’s Celebration of Life will be held at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church, 9691 Fourth St. Sidney on Tuesday, October 7th at 2:30pm. In lieu of flowers donations in memory of Bob can be made to St. Andrew’s. “Behold I will never forget you.

See, I have carved you on the palms of my hands.�

Panthers rookie #9 Grayden Hohl moves in for a scoring chance in a game against the Nanaimo Buccaneers last Friday night at the Panorama Recreation Centre.

Panthers still searching for first win of the season Devon MacKenzie News staff

The Peninsula Panthers are still in search of their first win of the 2014/15 VIJHL season after they were bounced 3-1 by the Victoria Cougars last Friday night in yet another close game that just refused to go their way.

After a scoreless 1st period, the Cougars’ Sam McMullen scored a pair of markers to give the visitors a 2-0 lead after 40 minutes of play.

Rookie Mitchell Newman then scored his first goal in Junior Hockey when he

opened the scoring for the Panthers at the 1:10 mark of the third period to bring the club within a marker.

A costly turnover five minutes later allowed the Cougars’ Howard Howden to pop one past Panthers’ starter Jacob Krupp, and that was the end of scoring for the evening.

Krupp stopped 31 of 34 shots directed his way while the Cougars’ Grant Payne stopped 20 of 21. The three stars in the game were McMullen, Krupp and Newman.

“I know our guys are frustrated and fight-

ing it a bit right now,” said Panthers’ Assistant Coach Rob Mortin, “but we have to continue to battle and I know that when we win one, we will start to win games. We all feel it, we just have to make it happen.”

The Panthers are back at home at the Panorama Recreation Centre Friday night when the Club hosts the visiting Kerry Park Islanders.

The puck is set to drop at 7:30 p.m. reporter@peninsula newsreview.com

Golden Harvest at B.C. Seniors Games Danny Daniels Contributor

As in Europe, the track season carries on into September for Peninsula Track’s older athletes who competed in this year’s B.C. Seniors Games in Langley Sept.

9 to 13.

The excellent early fall weather enabled them to reap a whole crop of gold and silver medals.

Leading the way was Les East (M75), whose six gold and two silver medals also included three new games records.

His 1.25m in the High Jump was 10cm better that the previous mark, while his Discus throw (31.47m) and his Hammer toss (32.72m) were both new in the books.

He also topped the podium in the Triple Jump (6.93m), Javelin (25.16m) and the Throws Pentathlon, while placing 2nd in the Shot (8.95) and Weight Throw (11.98m).

Also bringing home six gold medals was Myrtle Acton. She placed 1st in all her events which included the Javelin, a record 13.85 throw, Discus (16.38m), Hammer (18.90m), Shot (7.14m), Weight (7.93m) and Throws Pentathlon, also a new 3600pts record.

In this event, her throws in the Discus (17.85m) and Hammer (20.38m) were also games records, bettering the marks she had set previously.

Peggy Morfitt (W75) garnered three gold medals for herself, with wins in the Hammer Throw,

a PB of 18.33m, Weight Throw (6.02m), and the Weight Pentathlon (points total not available).

Peter Auvinen (M65) gained a silver medal with his 30.14s run in the 200m, but missed out on a bronze twice, both by 1cm, in Javelin (29.81m) and Weight Throw (11.89m).

At the same time, down in Costa Rica, Anne Murfitt (W55) was collecting international rewards at the North and South American and Caribbean Masters Championships.

She was crowned Champion with her gold medal throw in the Hammer event (18.76m), and added two bronzes in the Javelin (17.04m) and the Discus (16.20m). editor@peninsula newsreview.com
