Demolition crews took down the former administration building for the 443 Maritime Helicopter Squadron at the Victoria International Airport. The structure, dating back to the 1940s, was the subject of a 2013 effort to save it once it came into the possession of the Victoria Airport Authority. Its age, upkeep and hazardous materials were reasons for the decision to tear it down. The Squadron has moved into its new, $105-million hangar facility next door.

A ‘concrete discussion’ on Keating overpass Central Saanich councillor pushes for study to explore benefits of overpass Angela Cowan News Staff

Freshly-elected Central Saanich councillor Niall Paltiel is pushing for a more concrete discussion on the Keating X Road overpass at next month’s Strategic Planning Session.

On the District’s planning agenda for several years, the overpass has never

moved beyond the advocacy phase, he said.

Paltiel is suggesting the District fund a study to explore the potential costs, and the economic benefits to an overpass, including the possibility of attracting new businesses coming into the Keating industrial area.

“Basically, whenever we’ve gone and spoken to the Ministry of Transporta-

tion about this, they want to know how Central Saanich is able to contribute,” said Paltiel. “It’s time for us to do our part and come up with a good answer.”

Though an overpass at Keating X Road is on the long term vision of the Ministry of Transportation’s Highway 17 Corridor Planning Strategy (2007), it’s not included in the list of major

improvement priorities in the report.

The overpass would provide new economic opportunities for the District, said Paltiel, “paving the way for stronger transportation services, potential regional growth and new business opportunities while developing the tax base to support our farmers.”

With other major projects

on the horizon for the District like extensive upgrades to Brentwood Bay’s sewer and water systems, the possible purchase of Maber flats and the construction of a drainage facility, Paltiel agreed that Central Saanich has a lot on the go right now.

He stressed that the District would not be committing to building the over-

island View Park battle rages

Tip of the Peninsula North Saanich planning for partial replacement of municipal hall

Opponents of the CRD want the public process stopped for now Tim Collins

NORTH SAANICH — Residents of North Saanich will be part of the discussion regarding a plan to replace part of the municipal hall.

A staff report was presented Monday night (after press deadline) outlining an estimated $80,000 to hire a project manager to plan and price out the project. Issues facing the municipal hall include structural deficiencies caused by water damage, seismic upgrades, water pipe and ventilation problems.

Staff are proposing a partial replacement of the building to correct the problems and provide better functionality of the municipal hall.

The reports states the cost of a project manager and planning can be funded through the District’s reserve funds — a source that may also be used to pay for replacement, should council and the community approve such a plan.

“This isn’t a done deal.”

That statement by Mike Walton at the Capital Regional District’s (CRD) first public meeting regarding Island View Beach went a long way to characterizing the situation in which the CRD finds itself in their latest attempt to develop and shepherd through a new management plan for Island View Beach Regional Park.

That meeting, held at the Leonardo da Vinci Centre in Victoria on Jan. 28, attracted about 25 interested people and gave CRD staff the opportunity to present what they have called the scientific facts regarding the park.

The CRD’s last attempt at this process came to an abrupt halt in May of 2013 when they were sent back to their desks by the CRD Regional Parks Committee Board to regroup and bring forward a plan based on “factual, technical and scientific information about the natural environment found in the park.”

The credit for that move was claimed by a group called The Friends of Island View Beach (FIVB); a group that has consistently challenged the veracity of much of the information put forward by CRD staff in 2013. At the time, they claimed the regional government had a predetermined agenda to fundamentally change the way that the park is used.

No representation of the FIVB was present at the Jan. 28 public meeting.

“We called for the postponement of

the public meetings because, again, we have caught CRD staff presenting information to the public that supports their position but that isn’t accurate or scientific,” said Jason Austin, the spokesperson for FIVB. “Their presentation is incomplete, ridden with mistakes, half truths and pure fabrication and with what appears to be a deliberate intent to deceive the public as to the number of species at risk in the park.”

Austin called the decision to proceed with the meetings despite the demonstrated inaccuracies in the information being presented as “irresponsible and arrogant.”

“We’re on the outside looking in again, and the CRD staff are not listening to what we have to say,” said Austin. “They are simply not telling the truth.”

Walton when asked why the FIVB have not earned a more active role in this renewed planning process.

“And at any rate, the FIVB are just one of the many stakeholders.

We’re not going to give anyone a privileged level of influence in this process.”

Walton did not identify any other organized stakeholders, speaking instead of meeting people who live in the neighbourhood of the

park. He further maintained the CRD has a responsibility to act as stewards of the land and that it will always be difficult to balance that responsibility with allowing public use of park lands.

Species at risk?

The presentation of the CRD staff at the public meeting seemed to recognize that responsibility by speaking about the species

at risk at Island View Beach, but Austin maintained it was a cynical bit of theatre, again supplying information that is not factual, he said.

“They use the terms Island View Beach and Island View Beach Regional Park as meaning the same thing,” said Austin. “They clearly aren’t.”

After graduating from the South Island Distance Education School, Kaia Bryce, here doing field work with a grad student researching Rockfish conservation areas in the Gulf Islands, is now in her third year at the University of Victoria studying physical geography and environmental studies. She says the flexible schedule and independent learning from SIDES fostered a strong sense of self-motivation and time management.

Distance learning offers students flexibility from K to Grade 12 Program fosters time management and self motivation, says graduate Angela Cowan News Staff

F

orget rigid chairs and ringing bells, gone are the days of a ‘onesize-fits-all’ type of education.

Awareness of different styles of learning has emerged over the years and with it has come a variety of options for elementary and high school students, including private schools, home schooling and distance learning.

The South Island Distance Education School (SIDES), established in 1988, offers a flexible curriculum to students from kindergarten through Grade 12 and it’s more than just a relationship with a computer, said Principal Karen Flello.

“People express concern whether the computer replaces the teacher, but it’s really important that people understand that there are real live teachers here,” she said. “In the same way in a neighbourhood school, relationships and connections are so important to learning, it’s the same in a distance learning school. It’s just a different medium.”

Students will choose distance learning for a number of reasons.

“Some families may travel for an extended period of time, and they might just be interrupting their kids’ schooling for a year. We have students who may be medically fragile, or have anxiety that keeps them out of the regular school setting,” said Flello.

“And we have the kids who need extra help, who can’t keep up to a regular semester, and then we’ve got the ones who can do it in a week and a half.

They’re just that much more able to set their own timelines and work schedules.”

Kaia Bryce, 20, went through SIDES for her elementary, middle and high school years as she grew up on Piers Island, north of the Swartz Bay ferry terminal, and said the experience was extremely valuable.

Part of the family’s decision to do distance learning was for convenience’s sake — not having to take the ferry every day — but also a way for Bryce’s Japanese mother to make sure that Bryce and her two younger brothers had the chance to be immersed in a different language as well.

“She did a lot of teaching in Japanese, she’d translate the material for us, so we

could absorb the language,” said Bryce.

“We travelled to Japan with some regularity too, and so that made it easier for us to spend more time away from school.”

Her curriculum often shifted slightly to reflect everyday applications, and she was able to talk to neighbours — doctors, psychologists, veterinarians — who were able to offer further explanations and put lessons into real world context. Or while they were travelling, she and her brothers would write travel blogs, exploring how they experienced different cultures.

“I feel like it really gave me an opportunity to take ownership of my learning, and I’m so glad I had the flexibility to travel.”

Bryce was able to finish her high school course work half a year early and went to Japan for three months after graduating. But she stressed that a large part of her early accomplishment was due to her strong sense of self motivation, and said she can see how the less-structured format could pose a challenge to students who may need more guidance.

Park plan faces stiff opposition

Town of Sidney

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGS BYLAWS NO. 2078 AND 2079

Continued from page 3

“Island View Beach extends far beyond the park’s boundaries and what happens in the park may have no impact on those other areas.”

Austin said that he raised this issue in a Jan. 14 email to Walton, pointing out the presentation material implied a gross overestimation of species at risk within the park and asking that presentation materials be changed to reflect only what was happening in the park, as per the CRD’s 2013 direction.

He said he received no response until Jan. 29 in which Walton acknowledged the following: “Island View Beach” and “Island View Regional Park” are terms we use in our presentation materials. Much of the general information we present applies to both contexts. Regarding your concerns around species at risk (SAR) there are 33 known (SAR) in and around the park.

Nine species at risk are known to be resident or breeding in the park.”

Despite that acknowledgment, the presentation materials were not changed and the slide presented at the Jan. 28 meeting public meeting read: “There are 33 confirmed species at risk at Island View Beach.”

“Did the people hearing that presentation know that they were being told about a much larger region?” asked Austin.

“I’d bet that very few of them realized that the true number of species at risk in the park had just been inflated by over 300 per cent.”

Other issues in play But the species at risk within the park were not the only issues raised at the public

Notice is hereby given that the Council of the Town of Sidney will hold Public Hearings in respect of Bylaws No. 2078 and 2079, being the proposed amendments to Zoning Bylaw No. 2015 for the Town of Sidney.

All persons who believe that their property is affected by the proposed amending bylaws will be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the bylaws at the Public Hearings to be held at the Sidney Town Hall, 2440 Sidney Avenue, Sidney, BC on Tuesday, February 10, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. Written submissions can be received at the Town Hall prior to 4:00 p.m. on February 10, 2015 or at the Public Hearing itself.

Jason Austin of The Friends of Island View Beach. meeting. Much of the presentation dealt with the long standing controversy regarding the ditches within the park. Originally constructed around 1936, the ditches have served to drain surface water and help to alleviate the mosquito infestations that have plagued the area.

“Actually, as you can see,” said Todd Golumbia, the CRD’s Environmental Conservation Specialist, “the ditches don’t actually drain (the land) that well.”

He told the public meeting mosquitoes actually may be breeding in the ditches.

The statements infuriate Austin and his members.

“Anything CRD staff say about the ditches has to be taken with a grain of salt. Since before 2010, CRD park staff were advocating filling in the ditches and breaching the sea wall to flood the park.”

Under the existing park bylaw CRD Parks staff have the duty to maintain the ditches and keep them clear of debris.

“They ignored that duty for over 20 years despite frequent calls to do so, including from Central Saanich,” said Austin.

Another concern of the FIVB involves climate change and rising sea levels.

Although the public presenta-

tion did address sea levels on a general level, no specific climate change forecasts were presented. When asked about climate change and rising sea levels and what could be done to protect the park, Golumbia said, “Well, we’re not going to stop that ... maybe we don’t want to stop it.”

Independent assessment needed Austin maintains that the CRD staff has lost the confidence of the public and the Central Saanich municipal council, which has asked that the CRD verify its information or get a third party to do so.

“It’s for that reason that my group have been calling for two years for an independent environmental assessment of the park,” said Austin. “This will provide guidance, and show if there are species at risk in the park that need protection, and what the protection might be.”

“In the meantime,” said Austin, “this process should be put on hold.

Further public meetings are still scheduled with no changes to the information being presented. Dates and times are available at www.crd.bc.ca.

Self-motivation is a skill learned Continued from page 1

“I wouldn’t recommend it across the board,” she said.

“I think there’s pros and cons to both (distance learning and regular public school), it just depends on what kind of learner you are.”

Having a strong sense of priorities can be integral to success, added Bryce.

“I think it would be good for people who have a pretty clear idea of what they want to do with their time. If you know you want to dedicate your time to sports, or if you want to travel, having that flexibility is great.”

The program is also excellent for students who may learn at a different pace than the rest of their classmates.

Barry Reimche agrees. His family moved to Taiwan from the Peninsula and his two children are completing Grades 5 and 7 through SIDES. Along with learning computer skills, time management and organizational skills, he has noticed they have also benefited

from not comparing themselves to their classmates.

“Having less opportunity to compare their work with their peers has made them work harder and complete their assignments more thoughtfully,” said Reimche. “They don’t lose confidence by feeling behind other kids in areas that are weak for them, and they can go much further beyond other kids in areas of strength, without feeling like they’re not fitting in. They progress at the pace that they are able to without too much pressure.”

He’s also appreciated the chance to become more involved in the kids’ courses.

“We’ve found that because we know what they’re studying, we’re more able to show them the practical uses of their knowledge in their day to day lives,” he said.

Though the family’s time in Taiwan is undetermined at this point, Reimche said they would consider putting their daughter back in ‘regular’ school should they return to the Island.

“The social aspect of it is very important to her. Our son would likely continue with SIDES, as he is more independent and prefers the distance.”

For Bryce, now in her third year at the University of Victoria studying physical geography and environmental studies, the flexible environment of SIDES helped prepare her for the academic challenges of university, but the social aspect took a bit of time getting used to.

“Something maybe that I miss slightly in retrospect is being surrounded by a group of peers of a similar age,” she said. “It was an adjustment coming to university, being surrounded by so many young people, but I love it!

And getting into the habit of self motivating was a pretty useful thing coming into university and into the working world.”

“I definitely feel like I’m thriving off that background. I don’t think I’d trade it in any way.”

The purpose of Bylaw No. 2078 is to amend Zoning Bylaw No. 2015 by rezoning the subject properties from Downtown Commercial (C1) to Comprehensive Development Zone 40 (CD40) to allow for the construction of a 4-storey mixed-use development consisting of ground floor commercial and 24 residential dwelling units, of which 15 units would be “bonus density” as per Section 904 of the Local Government Act. Council is also considering the issuance of a Development Permit and Development Variance Permit in connection with the above noted amendment for the site shown below in Figure 1.

The properties that would be affected by this bylaw are: Civic Addresses:

9733 and 9741 Fifth Street

Legal Address:

Lots 1 & 2, Block 4, Section 10, Range 4 East, North Saanich District, Plan 381

The lands that are subject to the bylaw are as shown hatched on the plan below:

Figure 1

The purpose of Bylaw No. 2079 is to amend the text of the existing Comprehensive Development 7 (CD7) zone to increase the maximum permitted density from 70 units per hectare (uph) to 84 uph. The purpose of this is to subdivide 11 existing units with secondary suites into 22 individual strata lots, resulting in a total of 58 units in the development.

Each of the resulting 22 individual units would be a two-bedroom unit.

OUR VIEW

Overpass idea a long haul

T

here’s a little bit of the movie Field of Dreams in rookie Central Saanich councillor Niall Paltiel’s call for planning work into an overpass on the Pat Bay Highway onto Keating

X Road.

His assertion that such a structure, while helping alleviate traffic snarls from the highway onto the Central Saanich road, would help increase economic and agricultural opportunities smacks of a “build it and they will come” outlook.

There are serious questions about whether that kind of planning directive has that desired outcome at all. Especially if it’s going to cost a lot of money.

Of course, the Peninsula It still may has examples where that has worked — the be a leap thinking Butchart Gardens, Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre, Mary Winspear Centre — they spring to mind and have a draw from around the region.

But would the same apply to an overpass?

Judging by the complaints drivers have with the McTavish overpass (and, yes, the roundabouts within), such a thing might backfire.

While making it easier for commercial traffic to get into the Keating industrial area will help to some extent, those vehicles are getting into the area now. Albeit at a slower pace, thanks to traffic. It still may be a leap to think that an overpass might increase the population, add new businesses to the area and allow farms and other services to reap the benefits of added customers.

The idea of an overpass at this location has been on the books for at least eight years. So, in that regard making a move to speed things along could be seen as a decent political move.

Yet, new overpass projects — whether it be for a proposed Central Saanich commercial area or a pedestrian version in Sidney — take their time in coming. Paltiel should be prepared for the long haul on this idea.

LETTERS McLeod had the courage to stand up for himself

W

ith freedom of speech on everyone’s mind, it is sad that Mr. McLeod is castigated by letter writers.

He may not have the facts straight but getting them is not easy.

Example — go to the government website and the form for the Drivers Medical Examination Report (DMER). It clearly states that the doctor may bill the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles $75 for completing the form. But that’s not the true story.

In fact there is another form that is sent

to people approaching 80, which does not provide for the doctor to be paid $75 — but try finding it on the website!

So the government is misleading people — not unusual.

Writers say that driving is a privilege not a right. Well, the dictionary states that a right is a privilege and vice versa.

The difference is that a privilege is a benefit enjoyed by a person or class of people that is not shared with others. A right is something that we all have, like the UN Charter of Human Rights.

With rights go responsibilities and if we act responsibly then we have every right to drive a motor vehicle. This is not Saudi Arabia where driving is indeed a privilege, restricted only to men.

The government does not have the right to financially discriminate against people every two years just because they are old.

Senior discounts and the fact that driver licence renewal is cheaper at 65-plus are irrelevant. These are benefits offered to everyone when they reach a certain age.

I don’t mind having the responsibility to

prove medical fitness to exercise my right to drive but I am fiercely opposed to a discriminatory cost levied on me because I am old.

There is too much talk nowadays that what are actually rights should be regarded as privileges — such as voting, which is a right.

So good for you Mr. McLeod, you had the courage to go public and stand up for yourself.

Readers respond: Canada’s special forces not alone, the CRD and Island View Park, airport noise Canada’s not the only one So the Canadian Forces is the only one that has special forces involved in combat in Iraq? And the only ones who decided to brief the media on their activities last week?

Problem is, several reports state other nations’ special forces are helping their charges — with the U.K.’s SAS having been in heavy firefights.

None of those nations went public about their activity, mostly because of the reaction seen to such honesty in Canada and because these are special forces, exceptional units who operate with little or no publicity.

More importantly, no

instructors will send their students off to battle unaccompanied.

They will indeed be there for them, even though the PM may have thought or been briefed otherwise.

To abandon these troops who had been traumatized earlier by ISIS would be unwise.

That is why Canadian special forces (all 69 of them) were assigned to this mission. They can look after themselves nicely in battle while continuing to provide guidance (and example) to the newlyformed Iraqi government units.

And for those that are squeamish about our and many other nations’ forces helping the Iraqis in this conflict, the alternatives are far, far worse —

with even more thousands of Iraqi civilians to be killed, beheaded (if unwilling to convert), enslaved if of the female gender and many other horrific barbarities.

I detect in these critiques not only the usual “let’s find something to hang Harper with” but also an unseemly and unCanadian isolationist approach to assisting these folks — the rationale being that someone might attack us at home!

Perhaps some hardening up on our part is required as it is clear that no gentle persuasion or infusion of humanitarian aid will meet the aim of stopping ISIS before they permanently damage Iraq and adjacent

What’s their agenda?

I agree with The Friends of Island View Beach that the CRD meetings be postponed until they get the facts correct.

Finding out the CRD agenda has been impossible and I would like to know what it is.

They ignore any input from the public and

seem to have a callous disregard for us.

Frank Baylis North Saanich

Concerned about new CRD park plan I am concerned about the need to create a new plan for Island View Beach Regional Park.

I have enjoyed the park as it is for 40 years and hope to enjoy it as it is for another 40.

My concerns are flooding and reduced access as well as socalled stewardship.

I realize that First Nations enjoyed our lands without Europeans for thousands of years but that doesn’t mean I want to hand

control of the park to them.

In the future I would like to see increased trails through the fields and better drainage (ditches) and dikes as required to deal with our rising sea levels.

Help Prevent Heart Attacks with Vitamin C and Lysine Powder W. Gifford-Jones, MD

W

hy is heart attack the number one killer in this country? Ninety-nine percent of doctors say it’s due to atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiologists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack.

Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Two-time Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling reported twenty-five years ago it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack.

Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Wellington University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens’ research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death.

I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens is irrefutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent.

But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years I’ve been trying to find a company that would manufacture a combination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus™ is available at health food stores and specialty pharmacies.

The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop mixed with water or juice with breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day.

This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. That is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors.

As for me – I bet my life on vitamin C and lysine!

I turned 90 this year.

Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries.

Sixteen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs. Instead, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal.

I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking cholesterol lowering drugs (CLDs). I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications.

Central Saanich gets park land from development Developer donates portion of property to District as park land Angela Cowan News Staff

Central Saanich council has approved a six-lot subdivision at 6244 Rodolph Road that will see the District acquire just over five per cent of the 1.47acre property as park land.

Dan Doore of Aplomado Developments offered to donate the southeast corner of the lot, which has a creek running through it, as part of a Streamside Enhancement and Protection Area (SPEA), as well as providing 60 native trees for replanting throughout the development and elsewhere in the community on public land. Doore also agreed to undertake the removal of invasive species in the SPEA, such as ivy and spurge laurel (Daphne), before turning over the land to the District.

Development of the six lots will require the removal of ten protected trees, two of which are badly damaged. District staff recommended that tree removal take place between August 1 and March 31, during the lowest risk to breeding and nesting birds in the area, and if removal takes place outside of that window, that a bird nest survey be undertaken immediately prior to tree clearing.

Ongoing maintenance for parks averages just under $1,000 per acre per year, and so costs for upkeep on the newly acquired park area, at just under one tenth of an acre, would be minimal.

Doore also agreed to provide a statutory right-ofway to allow access for upkeep and public use.

Council’s decision, made during its recent Parks Committee meeting, was to be ratified at their Feb. 2 meeting.

Manager Eric Van Rooyen of the Victoria Marine Communication and Traffic Services (MCTS) centre in North Saanich explains to the Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce Tour of Industry participants the centre’s coverage area throughout the southern portion of the Strait of Georgia.

Tour of Industry: Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce

Maritime traffic control based in North Saanich Steven Heywood News staff

If boat owners have ever strayed into commercial shipping lanes off Vancouver or the Whisky Gulf naval training area near Nanoose Bay, they may have heard a voice on their radio, helping them correct their course.

Those voices are from the people working at Victoria Marine Communication and Traffic Services (MCTS) in North Saanich.

The Jan. 23 Tour of Industry, held by the Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce, stopped at the Institute of Ocean Sciences on West Saanich Road. The first stop was MCTS. Manager Eric Van Rooyen says their control room is essentially the 911 service for the Straight of Georgia — between the Juan de Fuca Straight to the south and Ballenas Island in the north. The division of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and Canadian Coast Guard has monitored maritime traffic since the 1970s. They moved to their Patricia Bay station in 1999.

In a nutshell, Van Rooyen says commercial vessels are required to call in — especially in the event

Jamie Cook, right, a MCTS officer, demonstrates the traffic control and communication procedures between the centre and vessels approaching various harbours, including the busy Port of Vancouver. of ship course conflicts — a requirement under Transport Canada rules. They also respond to emergency calls on channel 16 — and relay them to the Victoria Joint Rescue Centre, based at CFB Esquimalt.

In addition to radar coverage, the station monitors maritime communications.

With radar stations in four strategic locations, Van Rooyen says their equipment picks up and displays real

time maritime activity in Canadian and American waters.

“We monitor some areas on behalf of the United States. It’s rare for them to give up their sovereignty in any way like that.”

In a single year, the station will monitor around 200,000 vessels and respond to around 1,500 emergency calls. Yet, ideally, Van Rooyen says the public shouldn’t know they exist.

“That means we are

doing our jobs.”

MCTS officer Jamie Cook showed the tour his set of seven computer screens, each showing a different part of the region they cover. A former commercial pilot, Cook says he works 12-hour shifts. Watching him flash through different screen sizes, locations and ship identification numbers and one gets the impression he knew what he was doing.

Boat traffic around Vancouver Island must

be safe, he notes, and their equipment can tell them if a vessel is nearing shallow water.

That would mean a quick call to that vessel to help steer them clear.

“One of our jobs is to mitigate the impact of all the traffic,” Cook said.

The tide is high Included in the tour at the Institute of Ocean Sciences were brief stops into where

DFO staff prepare for seasonal mapping surveys.

These are trips designed to map the sea floor and coast line, to help in the drawing up of updated charts.

Michael Breton, a hydrographer with the Canadian Hydrographic Service, showed some of their maps, charts and books — which always require updating. As changes are made to navigation on the coast, he says information goes out in a few different ways.

Critical information (that which could impact maritime traffic right now) goes out first, to reach vessel operators in the most timely methods.

Non-critical information goes into updated publications, both paper form and electronic.

Breton says they have around 350 charts for the west coast of B.C., which are updated as soon as surveyors return with new data.

This month, the surveyors with the Canadian Hydrographic Service plan to visit Harmac and Duke Point near Nanaimo. They plan to map the area to ensure potential tanker traffic can pass safely.

Desolation Sound and Jervis Inlet — small

vessel destinations — are next on the list.

Their summer survey plans will take crews to the central coast.

In recent years, the Kitimat area was surveyed in advance of Liquefied Natural Gas projects reaching development stage.

It’s work, says spokesperson Dave Prince, to make sure vessels going in and out of the area can do so safely.

The last stop on the tour of the facility was the tsunami centre — or small offices that monitor wave action 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The data they collect on the number and strength of earthquakes and tsunamis is used for marine navigation, spill response and ocean modeling. editor@peninsula newsreview.com • • • • The Tour continues in the Feb. 6 PNR:

U.S. jets shake up some waterfront properties Travis Paterson News staff

A group of homeowners from Saanich’s Ten Mile Point are hoping their concerns will be heard by the U.S. Navy during the consultation process over bringing additional EA-18 Growler jets at the Whidbey Island Naval

Air Station.

“The extreme end of it is when jets swing too close to (Ten Mile Point) our houses shake and car alarms are set off,” said Graham Payette, whose family lives near the tip of Ten Mile Point on Baynes Road.

It happens with enough frequency that

Payette wonders if the Navy could release a schedule detailing the exercises, and if there’s anything that can be done to mitigate the impact.

“Our neighbourhood group wasn’t aware of the (Navy’s) call for input until the last day, and some of us managed to get some input

Residents along east-facing waterfront properties in Greater Victoria continue to be disrupted by rumbling from Boeing EA-18G Growler jet take-offs and landings (pictured above) at Whidbey Island’s Ault Field across the Juan de Fuca Strait. The U.S. Navy is completing an environmental impact report as it prepares to increase by 36 the number of Growlers assigned to Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 129 at the naval air station by 2018.

in, but not all of us,” Payette said.

“We want to create more awareness and to be included in the assessment process, not just on the residential impact but environmental as well. If it sets off car alarms, we want to know how this resonates with the resident orca of the Southern Island.”

Whidbey Island Navy spokesperson Ted Brown is running an environmental impact consultation process as the base, situated across the waters of the Juan de Fuca Strait, is gradually replacing the 1970s era EA-6B Prowlers with the Boeing EA18G electronic warfare aircraft, or Growlers.

Brown said the initial public consultation window, which

is now closed, will reopen in about 2016 to allow amendments to the first draft of the environmental impact report which he is now working on.

It’s the naval air station’s third environmental review in 10 years. It studies noise and other impacts from thousands of landings and takeoffs conducted at Ault Field near Oak Harbor, Wash. and the Outlying Landing Field near Coupeville, Wash.

The consultation is prompted by the addition of 13 more EA-18s and a contract to train Australian pilots on the planes at NAS Whidbey.

Prior reviews were environmental assessments; this EIS is more extensive and is conducted under the more strict National Environ-

mental Protection Act standards and rules.

The perception of increased noise and increased frequency of operations has generated more local complaints on Whidbey Island, and a citizen’s group called Citizens of the Ebey’s Reserve for a Healthy, Safe & Peaceful Environment filed a lawsuit against the Navy in July.

The Navy suspended training flights for six months in 2014, but resumed them in January.

NAS Whidbey is a busy place. Last year, according to information supplied by the base, flight operations at Ault Field numbered close to 74,000, which includes every departure, landing and engine test. Field Car-

rier Landing Practices, often referred to as “touch and goes,” numbered more than 15,000 at Ault Field and under 7,000 at OLF Coupeville in 2013. The number of EA-18s increased to 79 in 2014 and will increase to 92 in 2018.

By 2016, all EA-6B Prowlers will be retired.

“I’m a supporter of what they’re doing, Payette said. “I’m hoping there’s some type of schedule, it’s the exercises, the carrier landings and night flights when it’s most disruptive, a three-hour period of takeoffs and landings. My guess is the jets are circling over the strait to hit the landing when they swing near us.”

Fay Campbell has been keeping things clean for 40 years. She and husband Ed came to Brentwood Bay in 1975 and have been running Fay’s Brentwood Dry Cleaners ever since.

Fay watched Brentwood Bay grow up around her Fay and Ed Campbell have been in business 40 years Steven Heywood News staff

There are three bullet holes inside Fay’s Brentwood Dry Cleaners in Brentwood Bay. It’s something you might expect to see in a similar business in, say, 1920s New York or Chicago, but not in a small community on the Saanich Peninsula.

In their 40 years in business, Fay and Ed Campbell have seen a lot — including a little gunplay.

The incident occurred close to 20 years ago, says Ed. Someone had tried to break into a pharmacy next door and the police surprised them.

A shoot out ensued and three bullets entered the store. Two lodged in a facing wall and a third ricocheted off a piece of machinery and stuck in the ceiling.

Luckily, Ed said, no one else was in the building at the time.

Gun-slinging aside, Fay’s Dry Cleaners has grown up with the community, after the couple opened up shop in 1975. Ed was in Brentwood Bay, helping build the Sandown Motel. It was a chance encounter with another dry

“It all started when Ed had a pair of pants he needed cleaned,” Fay recalls. “He didn’t like the service, so he saw a place for rent, we got a loan and we opened.”

Neighbouring business owners figured the couple wouldn’t last long but, as they all had good senses of humour, decided to throw the Campbells a bankruptcy party — right before they opened.

“When the town is that small,” Ed says, “the neighbours wondered how we were going to pay for all the

new equipment. Many people felt we weren’t going to last.”

That party, it seems, pushed all of the worry aside and put the Campbells on the right track.

That, and Fay’s attention to detail and actual skill at her job probably played a much larger role.

Good service and quality results are hallmarks at Fay’s Dry Cleaners. She says others have come and gone in the last four decades and they have remained open.

“Business was very good, amazingly, when we first started,” she says.

“It was a struggle, but

Ed would work at the store and take on other jobs around the Peninsula to help make ends meet. Eventually, the people began to catch on.

“I just knew what I was doing,” Fay says.

“It’s proper pressing and cleaning.”

“She never hurt anyone’s clothes,” Ed adds.

“You have to know what you’re doing.”

Over the 40 years in business, the Campbells have seen Brentwood Bay grow from around 3,500 people to almost 11,000.

The motel is long gone, as are some of the customers they had in the early years. Their children and grandchildren, however, keep coming back and Fay says it’s like a big, extended family.

“It’s been a lot of fun,” Ed says. “It has been a real nice time here.”

And what’s ahead for the next 40 years?

Fay laughs that she probably won’t be around that long and they are starting to think about their future.

“But Fay might be here still,” says Ed. “It’s almost impossible, but she’ll certainly want to find out.”

erforming unusual and charming songs like My Canary Has Circles Under His Eyes along with crowd favourite Blue Skies and their unique take on Five Foot Two, folk trio Carolina Bluebirds is sure to inspire the joy of their namesake in audience members and folk fans next Friday (Feb. 13).

The latest performers at Deep Cove Folk Music Society’s Club Nights, Carolina Bluebirds melds vocals from Caroline Covil, guitar, vocals and the occasional kazoo from Graeme Card and the talents of Ian Johnston on

guitar, ukulele and banjo ukulele, as well as vocals.

The trio tries to put together a wide variety of music styles from the ‘20s to the ‘60s, and not just the one hit wonders that have survived to today.

“We like to try and find unusual songs that were popular in their time,” says Covil. “We all like different types of music, and different types from each era.

Some of it’s jazzy, some of it’s quaint. And we’re always adding new music.”

They always make sure to throw in a few well-known songs so the audience can participate, something they say folk audiences particularly like to do.

“It’s a very warm audience, very friendly, and the acoustics are good there,” says Johnston of the monthly event.

“It’s a nice building as well.

It’s all wood, and the open mic that they start with always has a great variety of music. You never

know what you’re going to hear,” adds Covil. “We’re quite looking forward to it.”

Card and Johnston are longtime musicians in region, having played with bands such as Rig-A-Jig, the Garden City Blue Blowers, The Jug Bandits, The Chattering Class and Humphrey and the Dump Trucks.

Carolina Bluebirds plays Feb. 13, at 8 p.m. at the St. John’s United Church, 10990 West Saanich Road. Admission is $7 at the door, and coffee, tea and other refreshments are by donation.

The Deep Cove Folk Music Society has operated for 24 years — at the same venue — through the efforts of volunteers dedicated to providing acoustic music to the community. Club nights are held the second Friday of the month.

Keelaghan marks 25 years History, social justice often themes in storyteller’s songs Angela Cowan News Staff

Two-time Juno-nominated singer and songwriter James Keelaghan is coming to Sidney this Sunday (Feb. 8), celebrating the release of his new CD and DVD, History: The First 25 Years.

Joining Keelaghan on stage are two of Canada’s finest bassists: David Woodhead, who also plays guitar and piano, and Hugh McMillan of Spirit of the West who will also play octave mandolin.

Keelaghan has long been lauded as one of the country’s best songwriters, in part because he often pulls inspiration from larger themes and historical events.

“I tend to write a lot of story songs,” he says.

Not just all about love and heartbreak, Keelaghan lyricizes about “ordinary people in extraordinary situations.”

The tragedy of the

Canadian singer and songwriter James Keelaghan is coming to the Charlie White Theatre this Sunday (Feb. 8). Keelaghan is known for his story-telling style.

13 firefighters who lost their lives in the Mann Gulch fire of 1949, for example, in Cold Missouri Waters. Or the formidable efforts of

the Dunkirk evacuation of Allied troops during the Second World War in Fires of Calais.

But though the stories have retained their

complexity of emotion and plot over his nearly 30 years of playing, the music itself has become something more streamlined.

“As time’s gone on, I’ve just really been a fan of simplicity,” he says.

“There’s more space to them, more air. I think it happens to most musicians as they get older. It’s a study in trying to grasp simplicity.”

With two young children at home, a schedule of nearly 100 shows a year and the post of artistic director of Ontario’s Summerfolk Festival, it’s easy to see why Keelaghan has worked to get back to the very roots of his music.

“Maybe that’s what happens. Your life becomes more complex, and you look for simplicity where you can really effect it,” he says.

As the wheel turns...

Alpaca farmer helps invigorate Island fibre industry

Angela Cowan News Staff

W

Angela Cowan/News Staff

Above, Tracy Brennan’s alpacas keep a close eye on her as she sorts a handful of fleece. Brennan processes the fibre herself through every step, from shearing to picking to carding and spinning.

Below, Tallulah, a seven-month-old Irish Wolfhound and Brennan’s most recent addition to the family, pines after the alpacas as they race for their lunch. The pup is a little too exuberant yet to run free among the animals.

ith an unearthly medley of chirrups, humming and warbles, Tracy Brennan’s alpacas warily approached a certain reporter who had just invaded their pasture at Bailiwick Farm in North Saanich.

“They’re probably most like cats,” says Brennan, smiling as she reaches out a hand to brush the soft fleece.

The dozen animals mill around her as she points out individuals by name. Nutmeg, Velvet, Sophia; Brennan explains there are several generations within the small herd. With enormous black eyes, they stare unblinking, skittering away at any quick movement until they become accustomed to the stranger in their midst.

Originally a sheep farmer and current owner of Inca Dinca Do Farm, Brennan fell into a love affair with alpacas after being introduced to them while at the Equestrian Centre in Parksville.

“I walked in the door, and I was amazed at how quiet it was,” she remembers.

“There was just this beautiful humming, and there was no smell! Hundreds of animals, and the only thing you could smell was fresh hay.

“I was hooked ever after.”

A lifelong knitter whose life “revolves around fibre,” Brennan is just as enamoured with the texture and rich variety of colours of the animals’ fleece and quickly took up spinning and weaving as well.

Handmade has taken on a different connotation since she began down the alpaca path. After the animals are sheared every year, she hand picks the fleece, washes it, cards it, spins it, and eventually knits or weaves with it.

“I really don’t consider something handmade anymore unless I do it all,” she laughs.

“People always ask me how long a sweater takes, and I tell them, ‘well, first I have to go feed the alpacas.’”

Though labour-intensive, it’s something that she treasures.

“To be spinning Nutmeg’s fleece and be thinking about what Nutmeg did in the field

that day…” She pauses. “Being able to make things from your own animals is such a satisfying process.”

And spinning is a meditative process in itself, she adds.

The repetition, the whirr of the wheel, the feel of fleece through your fingers — it’s something you have to be relaxed to do, she says. Though all but vanished now, the calming sound of the spinning wheel used to be common in households.

On a recent visit to her 98-year-old grandmother — who still lives on her own and still crochets — Brennan began to spin.

She looked up to see her grandmother, eyes closed and head resting on the back of the chair.

“I asked her, do you need a nap? And she said ‘No, I’m sitting on the floor playing with blocks’.”

The sound had taken the near-centenarian back to her years as a small child, listening to her own mother spin. Brennan’s grandmother convinced her to take the spinning wheel down to the commons area in the building.

“All the little old ladies came and sat around me. And it wasn’t about watching me spin.” says Brennan. “The stories that came out, all of them talking about their childhoods. It was amazing.”

With the help of her camelid companions, Brennan is doing her part to help keep the fibre crafts a part of our culture.

“I like that I’m keeping something alive that has that much history,” she says. “I’m carrying on a tradition that is age-old.”

A tradition that, at its heart, has remained the same over centuries. There are dozens of different spinning wheel designs nowadays, says Brennan, but they all have the same fundamental principles as when the wheel first emerged in the 13th century.

Brennan is currently setting up a studio at Sunhill Orchard with a fellow fibre-addict, where they hope to offer drop-in weaving, loom leases and spinning, weaving and knitting lessons.

And for those who might be interested in trying their hand at the spindle, Brennan’s best advice is to join a guild.

“You’re surrounded by years and years of experience. You can rent spinning wheels, and we have a whole library of books you can borrow.”

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Wednesday, February 4, 2015

Trio of soloists to play at upcoming concert Sunday afternoon Sidney Classical Orchestra performance promises to be full of variety Angela Cowan News Staff

In their second show of the season, the Sidney Classical Orchestra welcomes three brilliant soloists from across the water and the border to perform four compositions whose roots stretch back as early as 1721, proving that even the passage of centuries cannot dull their shining notes.

Whether it’s Fauré’s haunting and slightly melancholy fantasy for flute Op. 79, the sweet and steady cadence of Bach’s piano concerto in F minor, or Haydn’s passionate and breath-quickening violin concerto No. 1 in C major, even the most fledgling of classical fans will be moved.

Violinist Nancy DiNovo has been a member of the St. Louis, Toronto and Boston Symphony Orchestras, is a founding concertmaster of the Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra, and is making the trip from Vancouver to perform.

Flautist Alberta Brown is travelling from Chicago, where she recently completed her masters in music from DePaul University, and

Alberta Brown, from left, Susan de Burgh and Nancy DiNovo perform Sunday during the season’s second Sidney Classical Orchestra concert at St. Elizabeth’s Church on Third Street in Sidney. has won numerous awards over her still-growing career.

And Susan de Burgh, who will be performing Bach’s piano concerto in F minor, will be starting off the evening in a neat echo of the orchestra’s beginnings. De Burgh was the orchestra’s very first soloist when the group was first estab-

lished more than 20 years ago.

Not only will the trio each perform their own piece, Nancy, Alberta and Susan will combine their talents to breathe life and passion into Bach’s Brandenburg concerto No. 5 in D major, a sprightly and romantic medley for piano, violin and flute.

“It’s not very often you get three soloists,” says artistic director Stephen Brown. “There’s lots of variety.”

Growing since its inception in 1992, the Sidney Classical Orchestra started off as a “very good amateur orchestra,” adds Brown.

“Then about ten years ago we

upped the ante.”

The group expanded their board, started applying for grants and soon were able to hire professional union musicians on a regular basis.

Today, the quality of the orchestra is superb, with roughly half the members also belonging to the Victoria Symphony.

“The rest are teachers who could play with the symphony if they wanted, they’re very talented, but they prefer to teach,” says Brown.

The orchestra draws talent like moth to the flame, with the upcoming show’s soloists a perfect example.

The performance begins at 2 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 8 at St. Elizabeth’s church, 10030 Third Street in Sidney.

Tickets are $20 for adults and seniors, $10 for students, and free for youth 19 and under. Tickets are available at Tanner’s Books in Sidney, City Scribe in Brentwood Bay, and Long & McQuade in Victoria.
